Psychopaths: how can you spot one?
Hare's test is simple: a list of 20 criteria, each given a score of 0 (if it doesn't apply to the person), 1 (if it partially applies) or 2 (if it fully applies). The list in full is: glibness and superficial charm, grandiose sense of self-worth, pathological lying, cunning/manipulative, lack of remorse, emotional shallowness, callousness and lack of empathy, unwillingness to accept responsibility for actions, a tendency to boredom, a parasitic lifestyle, a lack of realistic long-term goals, impulsivity, irresponsibility . . .

What really happened at Ft. Hood? Watch For The Record: Broken Heart

Congressman Andy Barr (R) Ky. cosponsors H. Res. 36 which would establish a special Select Committee to investigate the attack on Benghazi
In the past, you have contacted me to express your concerns regarding the aftermath of the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya. I want to take this opportunity to update you on my thoughts regarding this important issue. It is a privilege to serve the people of Kentucky's Sixth Congressional District in Washington, D.C., and I hope you will find this update informative.
The American people deserve answers about the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack on our consulate facility in Benghazi, Libya that left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. While in the immediate aftermath of the attack, the Obama Administration sought to connect the events to a street demonstration arising from a YouTube video, and worked to downplay the fact that it was terrorism; the actual circumstances surrounding what happened have begun to come into focus. However, many questions remained, which is why my colleagues in the House and I continue to press to get answers.
For over a year now, committees of the U.S. House of Representatives have been and continue to thoroughly investigate the events before, during, and after the attacks. Committee investigators have interviewed dozens of individuals including State Department and CIA personnel on the ground in Benghazi during the attacks, issued nine subpoenas, held more than 30 hearings and briefings, and reviewed tens of thousands of documents, many of them classified.
I have personally taken action by cosponsoring H. Res. 36, introduced by Rep. Frank Wolf (VA-10), which would establish a special Select Committee to further investigate the events that led to the attack in Benghazi. I believe that advancing this measure will be vital to getting the American people the unvarnished answers they deserve about why four Americans are dead and what decisions were made by the Administration at the time.
You can follow the progress of these investigations and actions taken in the House of Representatives at GOP.gov, the website for the House Republican Majority. The House is committed to bringing the facts straight to the American people with unprecedented access to evidence. Already thousands of pages of reports, documents and transcripts can be accessed in one location at GOP.gov/Benghazi. This site will be continually updated as new evidence is made public and findings are released.
My heart goes out to the four heroic Americans whose lives were needlessly taken while serving their country and to their loved ones. I will continue to do all I can to help ensure that all questions surrounding the attacks are fully investigated, and I remain confident that with full transparency and complete evidence, the truth will come out."
Andy Barr – Member of Congress

Republican Matt Bevin Receives Endorsement from Northern Kentucky Mayor
by: WFPL http://bit.ly/1kP7HFD
Saying small businesses are the country's backbone, the mayor of Newport, Ky. is endorsing Republican Matt Bevin for U.S. Senate in the upcoming primary election.
Republican Jerry Peluso was first elected mayor of the Northern Kentucky city, which sits across from Cincinnati, in 2008. He previously served on the city commission and as vice mayor.
In a news release, he says Bevin understands the challenges of running multiple businesses and how they work.
"As someone who knows firsthand about operating expenses such as insurance, taxes, utilities, and state and federal regulations, Matt Bevin will support small business by fight for their survival," Peluso says.
The nod from a Kentucky Republican official is an important in-state pick up for the Bevin campaign, which is trailing McConnell by double-digits in most polls. Bevin has support from over a dozen Tea Party groups in the state and outside groups like the Senate Conservatives Fund and FreedomWorks.
"I am honored by Mayor Peluso's endorsement and support of our campaign efforts in northern Kentucky," Bevin said in a statement. "I appreciate all he does for small businesses in Newport. I'm honored to have this lifelong Kentuckian's support and grateful that he's joining our team."
For most of the primary battle Bevin has mercilessly attacked McConnell's record for not being conservative enough with Tea Party groups by his side.
McConnell's allies are likely to pounce on Peluso's Democratic ties, but the nod demonstrates Bevin's business acumen could be an asset for voters beyond the Tea Party base.

7 Times Obama Did 'Do Whatever I Want' During His Presidency
http://blog.heritage.org/2014/02/11/7-times-obama-whatever-want-presidency/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=&utm_content=&utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Morning%2BBell
It doesn't take long to find examples.
Just yesterday, the President delayed implementation of Obamacare's employer mandate for certain companies that meet certain conditions the administration suddenly made up. The law, of course, specifically orders those companies to provide coverage beginning this year.
Last year, Obama had pushed back the deadline for all employers from 2014 to 2015.
The administration has also waived work requirements in a congressionally-passed welfare program.
When Congress declined (repeatedly) to pass the DREAM Act, the administration cited "prosecutorial discretion" when it instructed federal officials to stop enforcing federal immigration law against a certain group of people.
In 2012, the Department of Justice announced that it would stop enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act or defending it from legal challenge, rather than asking lawmakers to repeal the law.
The Department of Education offered waivers to large parts of the No Child Left Behind law, replacing them with Common Core standards that haven't been passed by Congress.
During his State of the Union address, Obama promised to use executive orders to go around Congress when he wants to.
President Obama is unilaterally amending laws so that they line up with his policy preferences. That's an affront to the rule of law. As a former Constitutional law professor, he knows better. On a more pragmatic level, he ought to consider precedent. There will be another conservative president someday. Obama wouldn't want that president to think he could rewrite acts of Congress to suit his fancy.
Will Obama not leave office after 2016?
Fear stoked that president will violate constitutional term limit
http://www.wnd.com/2014/02/will-obama-even-leave-office-after-2016/#H62620PmIcTuSoIm.99
For the last 2-3 years I have been saying that I would not be surprised if Obama found or created a situation that he could use to justify SUSPENDING THE CONSTITUTION, DECLARING MARTIAL LAW, and PROCLAIMING HIMSELF "PRESIDENT-FOR-LIFE" . . . and as time passes, I suspect it more and more every day ! ! ! Have you noticed the stories about the "militarization" of your local police ? ? ?

Matt Bevin Rocks the Unbridled Liberty Tour
What a Saturday we had in Erlanger, Kentucky! This past weekend, the Unbridled Liberty Tour kicked off in northern Kentucky and Matt was honored to be invited to give the keynote speech.
The event was hosted by Doc Thompson from The Blaze network and hundreds of concerned citizens from all over Kentucky and surrounding states heard many good liberty candidates and like-minded conservatives speak. To highlight just how much support our campaign is picking up, nearly 500 of you came out on a snowy day to show your support, while Mitch McConnell's event struggled to draw 100. We could not be more grateful. You can watch Matt's speech on our YouTube page.
As more Kentuckians learn about McConnell's big-government record of voting for amnesty, bailouts, debt ceiling increases, and Obamacare funding, they support Matt's campaign!
This week, Matt also attended an event with the FreedomWorks PAC where he enjoyed time with other liberty-loving candidates. If you recall, Matt recently received the endorsement of FreedomWorks.

How to Deal with Disappointment When Your Bipolar Symptoms Get in the Way
By Julie A. Fast
When faced with disappointment, my brain never gives me the luxury of deciding how I feel and how I want to react. Nope. It just experiences it and immediately starts doing bipolar flips and twists in a way I find very hard to control.
Here I share two related stories about disappointment that led to intense bipolar downswings. By comparing how I responded to those disappointment downswings, you can see how I have taught myself to manage the illness differently over time. This is something I do each year that I use my management plan.
Let Down
Fifteen years ago, a person interviewed me for a new book on marketing. She invited me to lunch and asked me to share one of my main marketing ideas, in exchange for promoting my work. I did so willingly, including giving her information like what I called the marketing tool and how I invented the template I used with clients. I eventually spent hours working with her and shared my ideas with enthusiasm—all in the spirit of teamwork and future rewards.
Upon publication, she sent me a copy of the book. With great excitement, I opened the book … and to my true dismay, I could see that this person had used my ideas 100 percent, but my name was not to be found anywhere. It shocked me into a massive downswing that lasted for months.
Disappointing situations are hard for everyone, but for a person with bipolar, they can cause serious illness. My bipolar brain picks a mood swing within seconds of a situation unfolding. When I opened the chapter of the book that used my ideas verbatim, but without giving me credit, I didn't just get angry or upset, I got sick. Really sick. I cried and cried and felt overwhelmed by the enormity of my mood swing.
The bipolar was triggered so intensely that I had to put all of my energy on myself just to get on with my daily life. I was ill for weeks. About a month later, I called the author to ask what had happened.
She said, "Oh, Julie. I wasn't responsible for this—an editor made the changes to the chapter. They must have removed your name."
I knew her editors and knew this was not true. She never gave them my name. I knew that I should contact her publishing company and do something about this, but I simply couldn't do it. I was too sick. I remember this downswing lasting a long time. It lingered until it eventually festered into bitterness and created the seed of the idea that I was a victim and not in control of my career.
Believe it or not, just this week I found myself in a similar situation! Here is what happened.…
I recently spent a considerable amount of work energy on a project for a fellow person with an online presence, and I even made promises to do additional marketing on the project once it was available to the public. I assumed that my work would be quoted and that my books would be referenced. Then, just like 15 years ago, I was sent a preview of the project, and I immediately realized that my work (and certainly my connections) were used, but I was not acknowledged for the work in the way I wanted or needed to be.
I kept looking through the project just for a mention of my work; when I found none in the body of the work … oh goodness, my bipolar brain was not happy! I went into an immediate downswing. A big one. It just overcame my mind and body like a tidal wave.
It took the form of my usual bipolar disappointment downswing. I cried; my thoughts became very negative, and a bit scary; and I found it difficult to respond reasonably to the situation. I was flooded. I was overwhelmed. One minute, I was excited to see the work and how she had used my ideas; and then, boom, I realize the truth and the bipolar tidal wave overtook me!
In my experience, bipolar disappointment downswings are not regular reactions to situations. Instead, they are over-the-top, intense, out-of-control reactions that immediately change my thoughts and feelings. Oh, they are horrible!
But …
This story has a positive ending.
The situation was the same as 15 years ago, but I am not the person I was 15 years ago! Not at all!
I now have 15 more years of practice on how to manage this rotten illness when faced with a disappointment. I was able to keep perspective and talk to others about what would be considered a reasonable response to the situation. I was eventually able to make a sensible decision on what I wanted to do next. (And I will not be working with this person in the future.)
I decided that my health comes first. I stuck to managing bipolar and was able to end the downswing by that evening:
I used my journal.
I asked for help.
I talked with my friends.
I practiced mindful breathing.
I watched YouTube videos on dealing with disappointment.
And I focused on what I needed instead of how I had been "wronged."
In the end, I lost a day to the downswing. There was no way around this. I was sick. It was bipolar disorder, and I had to treat bipolar first. I cried a lot. I wrote a lot. I called on the wisdom of people I consider mentors in my life, including the work of Don Miguel Ruiz and his book The Four Agreements.
Peace Is Possible
I share my story to let you know that management plans work if you keep working on the management plan. If you start today, the situations that make you too sick to function for months will one day be situations that make you too sick to function for one day. The bipolar disappointment downswing may still be there, but your ability to manage the downswing can profoundly change. It has for me.
Peace in our brains is possible. We can learn to stop mood swings. We can stop ourselves from doing something in a mood swing that we will later regret. I wanted to write a nasty message to the person who used my work without the courtesy of giving me a quote to promote my work. But, you know what, that is her path, not mine. I didn't have to do anything to the other person in order to feel better. I can do this work internally.
Now that the mood swing has calmed down, I can look at my own role in this situation. I can have perspective and act in a way that matches how I wish to be treated. My actions can come from the real me and not from bipolar disorder.
Freedom from acting out of bipolar disorder disappointment.
All are possible!

I hadn't appreciated that my disappointment to things not going the way I intended could be impacted by my Bipolar. Perhaps I need to give myself a little lee-way and not throw in the towel because I struggle when my plan doesn't work. Very insightful.
Robin December 4, 2020 at 11:33 pm
This is profoundly interesting. I realize that I blamed myself for 20 years or more for a job from which I was fired at age 31. I was undiagnosed bipolar and ADHD. It was a very unfriendly environment in Washington DC. Cutthroat and Evil. But I blamed myself. And thought I was a failure. When it had nothing to do with me. 20 or more years wasted on that mentality. Because I was bipolar and ADHD. It was more than disappointment it was devastation. What a waste of time. On people who certainly didn't deserve it. When I tell you these people were not nice people, that is an understatement. They were inside the Beltway Washington swamp things. Who didn't care about anybody but themselves. And only sought their own aggrandizement. But I was young and naive and undiagnosed.
Jen December 3, 2020 at 1:09 am
I never linked my reactions to disappointment with my bipolar. This was eye-opening. Thanks!

Ms. Fast,
I always look forward to your articles.
Jeremy PM December 2, 2020 at 5:04 am
Thank you for this article! It has also come in a timely fashion for me as I've struggled this year more than I ever have before. I've dealt with a couple scam artists trying to manipulate me into working for free to steal my ideas this year and I was lucky enough to extinguish those fires before they manifested into something terrible. I relate to your experiences because I'm a renowned musician that has been taken advantage of with not a penny earned in the process. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who deals with these depressive downswings. When you're going through a manic phase, everything seems impossible. You don't want to deal with any communication to resolve any problem to the point to where you practically lose it all. I don't feel alone today because you've helped me with this article. Again, thank you!
Lisa J December 13, 2020 at 5:06 pm
Thank you very much Julie, I'll think about that when I get disappointed and can't let anything go and just move on. / lisa

The Ashbourne News Telegraph ("incorporating The Derbyshire Advertiser and Uttoxeter News ", according to its masthead) is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold across much of the Derbyshire Dales district in western Derbyshire, centred upon the town of Ashbourne itself and extending as far as Wirksworth and Matlock in the north-east and into the fringes of Staffordshire to the west.
It was founded in 1957 with the merger of two existing papers, the Ashbourne News and Dove Valley Record (founded in 1891) and the Ashbourne Telegraph (1903). It became a tabloid nearly 50 years later, in 2005. In the meantime it had absorbed the The Derbyshire Advertiser (founded in 1846 as The Derbyshire Advertiser and Journal ) in 1976, and the Uttoxeter News (founded 1972) in 1979.
It's published by Staffordshire Newspapers, a branch of Iliffe News & Media, which used to be an independent company but became part of the Local World group at the beginning of 2013. The editorial offices are in Ashbourne's Market Place.
It comes out on Wednesdays. An e-edition's also available by email or on the website (it used to be free, but is now by paid subscription).

Service area board candidates talk Nikiski law enforcement
by Megan Pacer
Saturday, October 3, 2015 9:17pm
If Nikiski voters pass Proposition 2 during Tuesday's election, a service area board will be created along with a Nikiski Law Enforcement Service Area.
The board, made up of five people, would take office immediately following the measure's passage to start researching ways to either contract protective services for Nikiski from another agency or build up a new police agency. Four of the five seats are uncontested, and most of the candidates have been involved in tackling the issue of crime in Nikiski for a number of years.
Ben Carpenter, owner of Alaskan Leader Solutions, LLC, is on the ballot for seat A, which is a 3-year term. While Carpenter supports limited taxation according to his candidate profile, he said the service area is necessary as additional help from Alaska State Troopers is unlikely. After meeting with trooper representatives to talk about getting more of them assigned to Nikiski, he said in a previous interview with the Clarion that their budget would not allow that.
Currently, Carpenter said he does not favor one of the two service area options over the other. The decision of whether to contract services or create an agency will depend on what the board uncovers when it starts working with those who have more experience with creating a law enforcement agency.
"None of us are law enforcement professionals," Carpenter said. "So the first thing that I would want us to do is to seek advice from people who have done this before."
The law enforcement service area would have the same boundaries as the Nikiski Fire Service Area, including an area on the west side of the Cook Inlet. On the issue of how to coordinate with service area residents across the Inlet, Carpenter said the proposition would likely improve services.
"Additional law enforcement powers in Nikiski could be viewed by people across the Inlet as an addition to the troopers."
Nancy Whiting, a Nikiski resident of 10 years, would assume seat E for a 2-year period should the proposition pass. She agreed that the decision of whether to make a new police agency or contract services from elsewhere will have to be researched thoroughly.
"I like the idea of our own law enforcement, and the only reason I would think that the contract might work better is time and affordability," she said.
Whiting said that while she lacks formal law enforcement experience, she has made up for it with a commitment to Nikiski and a vested interest in its safety. For her, the additional tax would be worth the results.
"My perspective is that no matter where you live, crime doesn't generally decrease on its own, and no law enforcement agency or department can really prevent crime," Whiting said. "All they can do it mitigate some of it, catch perpetrators of it and help with their presence to perhaps prevent or at least postpone. Long term, that's about what I expect."
Phil Nash, a lawyer who practices out of Kenai and president of Peninsula Crime Stoppers, is on the ballot for seat C, a 1-year commitment. He said he would prefer to contract services to Nikiski because the ambiguity of the LNG project means the board won't be able to predict exactly what kinds of services the area will need.
"The primary reason that I favor the contract right now is … that we don't know even whether the gas line is going to be built let alone when, and so we don't know if and when we might have an influx of thousands of construction workers," Nash said. "So it seemed to me that it would be much more cost effective if you … start with sending requests for proposals out to municipal police departments to see if anyone would like to run a contract, because they would be able to set it up much more quickly than we could anyway."
Communication with areas that would be affected on the west side of the Cook Inlet has been tricky, Nash said.
"There's been some isolated contact with people who are beyond the end of the road but still on this side … and they were concerned … that they don't get any services," he said.
Still, Nash believes getting law enforcement services across the Inlet will be much easier than it has been to provide fire services.
Norm Olson, one of the creators of the Alaska Citizens Militia, is on the ballot for seat D, a 3-year term. He said that while he supports small, local government, going through the Kenai Peninsula Borough to get a law enforcement service area is the best option he sees to crack down on crime.
"We've been waiting for a long, long time," Olson said. "After the proposition failed in 2004, there were promises that an alternative would be found. That was 11 years ago."
Olson said contracting services at first and then slowly moving to Nikiski's own agency would provide a smooth transition.
"I like the idea of contracting because it provides a buffer and another layer of responsibility and accountability," he said.
While he generally doesn't support big or intrusive government, Olson said the alternatives to a service area that have been presented to him in the past have not been shown to be viable.
The candidate for seat B, a 2-year term, was Ann Dooley-Krogseng. In the wake of her death, at least three Nikiski residents have come forward with the intent to run a write-in campaign for the open spot. At a community meeting held Wednesday in Nikiski to address remaining questions about the proposition, Tim Colbath, Jason Ross and Pete Piccini announced their plans to vie for the final seat.
Tim Colbath, a resident of Nikiski for 18 years and an animal welfare advocate, said his being part of the original Nikiski Community Action Group should be helpful to the board.
"I grant you my main forte is animal welfare, but in so many occasions that enters into human welfare as well," Colbath said after the meeting. "It seems a natural progression."
Jason Ross served in the United States Army for five years. He did not become involved in discussion about the law enforcement service area until recently, but has always favored increased police presence in the area, he said.
"I want to be able to help contribute to my community in a way, and I think this is an important issue that needs to be addressed here," Ross said after the meeting. "I'm willing to take the time."
Krogseng herself sought out Pete Piccini, a retired sheriff with 23 years of law enforcement experience, and asked him to run for a seat on the service area board. He said declined at the time because he felt he would be content to support her. Now that she is no longer here to make decisions as part of the board, Piccini doesn't want to leave things up to fate for a second time, he said.
"I think my experience would be a value to the board in what we want to do here," Piccini said at the meeting.

McDonald's Is Offering Menu Items From Other Countries. And We Tried Them All.
Matthew Meltzer
Think before you sneer at traveling Americans who eat at McDonald's.
Many around the world have the stereotype of the flabby, fanny-pack toting American waddling into a Mickey D's on the Champs d'Elysee, ordering his familiar burger and fries, and calling it a cultural experience because the burger was called a "Royale with cheese." Boring. Uncultured. Predictable. We know the routine.
But the cultural McDifferences extend far past what you learned watching Pulp Fiction. As purveyors of mass-market menus, McDonald's' recipes in other countries reflect the food their cultures enjoy en masse. They might not be gourmet, but ordering unique McDonald's menu items can be a fascinating look into the culinary norms of foreign lands.
In Japan, for example, you can get an Ebi Filet-O, a patty of whole breaded-and-fried shrimp with lettuce and spicy sauce. Show up at breakfast and you can have a McHotDog served with mustard and ketchup, which might be upsetting to hot dog purists until they realize they can order a hot dog… for breakfast.
In Israel, there's a McFalafel, available in both kosher and non-kosher locations. In other parts of the Middle East, they offer a McArabia, which includes gyro-like chicken meat with lettuce, tomato, onions, and garlic mayo.
In the Philippines, you can order McSpaghetti, served with a highly sweet tomato sauce. It also comes with a big leg of fried chicken if you'd like to use that as your excuse for ordering what is essentially spaghetti with ketchup. And in Malaysia, the Bubur Ayam McD is a savory stew with chicken, ginger, fried shallots, and chilies.
But you don't have to go halfway across the world to get some fascinating local food. McDonald's in Mexico offers McMolletes for breakfast, a local take on the McMuffin with beans, cheese, and pico de gallo on top. In Canada, you can order the McHomard — which you, me, and everyone else outside Quebec calls a lobster roll.
But no country goes further with its international menu than India. In a country where cows are sacred, slinging beef burgers seems a bit of a challenge. That's why Indian menus feature stuff like the Pizza McPuff, sort of a Hot Pocket-samosa hybrid filled with peas, carrots, corn, cheese, pizza sauce, and other delicacies. You can also order the McAloo Tikki, essentially a Big Mac where a spiced potato patty replaces the beef, and the McCurry Pan, a rectangular pastry crust filled with a savory cream sauce and curried vegetables.
"People don't understand why we visit other McDonald's restaurants when we travel," McDonald's franchise owner Stefanie Cabrera-Bentancourt told me at one of her restaurants in North Miami Beach, Florida. "It's not because we want to see how they're serving the same stuff we have. It's because we know they have certain recipes besides what we have in the United States."
Bringing international McDonald's menus to America.
Cabrera-Bentancourt's restaurants are part of a pilot program McDonald's started this month called Flavors from Abroad, where menu items from around the world will be available at stateside locations for a limited time. It's a chance for folks who don't get out of the country much to try the McTakes on local cuisines.
"The reality is, not everyone is fortunate enough to travel outside the United States," Cabrera-Bentancourt said as she dumped a BBQ seasoning packet into a paper bag of Malaysian fries. "Unless you (do), you never get to experience those kinds of things. So we're really excited; this is so out of the box, and something McDonald's has never done before."
Right now the program is offering four items from Spain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and the Netherlands. And kind of like our own mini EPCOT, we tasted our way around the McDonald's of the world, without having to leave the comfort of a hard plastic booth. Here's what we thought of the McOfferings.
1. The Grand McExtreme Bacon Burger (Spain)
Forget those sissy little tapas plates when you go to Spain. This burger will have you joining the rest of Bar-the-lona in its afternoon siesta after you down a couple of quarter-pound patties. These burgers are topped with applewood smoked bacon, Gouda cheese, slivered onions, and McBacon sauce that just screams, "Viva Espana!" The gouda and smoked bacon actually make it taste a lot like a gourmet burger, and if you're into rich, heavy foods, this is easily the best burger you'll ever have at a McDonald's.
2. BBQ McShaker Fries (Malaysia)
In the first noted instance of McDonald's helping you burn off, like, at least seven calories while you eat, these normal-seeming fries are served with a BBQ spice packet and a brown paper bag. You put both the fries and the spice packet in the bag, shake it vigorously, then rip off the top half. This creates a greasy paper basket for the fries, looking a little like Malaysian street food instead of something you got at the Miami Lakes drive-thru. They taste like mesquite-grilled potato chips and are the most addictive thing on the menu.
3. McSpicy Chicken (Hong Kong)
On the surface, you might think McDonald's is trying to pull a fast one on us, moving around the "Mc" in the old Spicy McChicken and telling us its some fabulous import from the far east. But while the old spicy chicken sando has a peppery, spicy fried chicken flavor, this tastes more like the garlicky chilies one gets when ordering the stuff with peppers by it from the local takeout joint. It's a salty, spicy, almost smoky flavor here, cooled off by the creamy mayo and crisp iceberg lettuce.
4. Stroopwafel McFlurry (Netherlands)
For those who've never had the pleasure of enjoying a Stroopwafel as your lone snack on a flight from Iceland to Amsterdam, these thin, cookie-like, caramel-filled waffles are a favorite to eat with coffee or hot chocolate — or, if you're at McDonald's, crushed up in soft-serve vanilla ice cream and topped with caramel sauce. Delicious even if you're not in Amsterdam and not a bad option for breakfast.
None of the items on the menu were over $7, and you could enjoy a three-course, international menu for under $15 with a soda. Take THAT, Restaurant Week! Currently, the program is only in about 50 restaurants in South Florida, and while Cabrera-Bentancourt says she hopes the program continues and expands to other cities, she would not expand on whether McDonald's had any plans to. But even if Flavors from Abroad never comes to your town, and you don't make it down to Miami to try this menu. Hitting up the golden arches in another country is still a worthwhile cultural experience — no matter what so-called "cultured" locals might think.

Home > News > Lost and Found
As a fine art photographer, my discovery of an old farmhouse and workshop on the outskirts of Melbourne unearthed a weathered, but remarkably intact time capsule. This almost century old house sits secluded from the main road, yet only a few minutes drive from the encroaching suburban sprawl. All I needed was my curiosity and camera to investigate its mystery.
Abandoned, it appears, almost 60 years ago, the house sits almost exactly as it was left. Old dolls pushers, chairs and rusting bicycles lay piled on its front verandah. Tall grass, cacti and pines ring the house.
Did it hold a treasure-trove of domestic relics, or anything at all?
In my other role as an architectural writer/photographer, I'm used to commissioned projects - glamorous, elegant houses and soaring towers. I have photographed and filmed them for years, yet never covered a derelict farmhouse.
I wanted to document the evidence of another time. Hopefully it contained enough artefacts to help reveal something about those who once lived here.
Many of my documented images are available at: www.hyattgallery.com.au
What intrigued about this property was its originality. Neglect isn't necessarily the enemy of preservation. It hadn't been made over, tricked up or restored. In a strange way neglect had preserved its authenticity. It certainly hadn't been occupied, or loved, for a very long time. This was original and real - and in the process of falling down. It won't stand for much longer. One day soon it will collapse with its history. I wanted to record the spirit of this place before age and gravity finish their work.
It wasn't until I wondered what might exist within, that the story gathered strength. Apparently it had been a cook's house that serviced the shearers and farmhands who lived in adjacent sheds on a once sprawling sheep station. It became clear that the house had to be photographed and documented largely as found. And in context. That is such a crucial part of its story.
After peering through the spider-webbed windows and frayed blinds I decided to carefully enter the gloom. Joseph Conrad discovered a far darker heart in the Congo than this, but without a flashlight I was blind.
And so I entered the house and wondered what lay ahead. I met an almost charcoal darkness. Photographers love light. It's why so many compensate and then compensate some more. Before long rooms are clinically illuminated. The Russian born cinema-photographer Yuri Sokol advised: 'Best to remove the first light before adding a second'. It's a golden lighting rule for photographers and film-makers: Subtraction before addition.
I wanted to work within the interior's gloomy confines and avoid the substitution of artificial lights. In short, I wanted the house to remain and feel authentic.
With the shaft of daylight from the open doorway it was obvious the place had had few, if any visitors during the past half-century or so.
In this age of the new, sparkling and forever young, I wanted to learn something of its past by seeing what it might yield for my camera. An empty shell would tell me one thing, but would I find more? Collapsing walls and rusting roof hardly promised much, but best not to anticipate too much. I knew of the stories of abandoned Parisian apartments holding remarkable treasure.
Well, I reminded myself, keep dreaming. I didn't expect to find the work of any old masters here. But I wondered.....
What survived the ravages of time? Was it even worth inspection? After a working lifetime of photographing architecture, I anticipated the pure, rustic simplicity of this house. Built early last century, the bungalow clearly came without any styling conceits. When the world of Scott Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby was in full swing this house must have been filled with its very own extraordinary people. They would have lived a parallel life minus the champagne and diamonds, yet still rich in language, music, love and, perhaps, betrayal.
Curiosity took me inside for the same reasons that Indiana Jones was drawn into the cave of human skulls, killer arrows and oversized rolling boulder. Fantasizing about high adventure was one thing, but I had a sense this house might still hold some sort of secret. I wanted to learn more about an era that had been linked to a working farm and its neighbouring historic farmhouses. I hoped to find a few clues and fingerprints I could photograph.
My wife Jenny and eldest daughter Ella arrived. I had called them earlier on the hunch of finding something of interest. It might have been in a state of partial collapse and yes its sagging, buckled floors were disorienting in the dark, but it drew us inexorably in.
Even with torchlight, or perhaps because of it, they found the experience unnerving. They recalled haunting childhood tales and Gothic horror films that filled them with foreboding.
We all shared similar thoughts: Who lived here? Why was it abandoned? Would a haunted image present itself? The pervasive influence of Hollywood seemed to prepare us for some out-of-body experience.
We stepped carefully over piles of old newspapers and around books and boxes that littered the floor. To my right a crate of deer antlers reached out like grasping skeletal fingers. Next to these a pre-World War Two radiogram at an unlikely angle sat dust-coated.
Would some of the old floorboards finally collapse beneath us? We walked in single file behind the light's tight, silver, dust-filled beam. We spoke of what the great Egyptologist Howard Carter must have experienced upon entering Tutankhamun's Tomb. Well that was a touch overblown, but there was no doubting we were all ready for the unexpected.
Even in daylight, the interiors remained locked in funereal darkness. Here and there daylight leaked under a door, or through the veil of decaying blinds. With our eyes widening we could see just enough; a doll's limb protruding from underneath a chair, in another room a frayed Victorian-era rocking horse observing our every move.
Frail light gradually revealed the storehouse of memorabilia. Yes, it was creepy, as I was reminded, but in a strange way, we knew we were guests and that we should behave accordingly. There was a sense of a past that needed respect. Our whispers came from a reverence, or at least consideration, of where others had lived.
But other temptations awaited my photographic eye. Old furniture, much of it missing legs, or with torn upholstery releasing ripped innards and sat just as it was left when the last person departed all of those years ago.
The house is dry, unnervingly quiet yet without any musty, damp or odours.
Click. Click. Click. We stand completely still and hold a breath. Click. The tripod and camera sways with the slightest movement, or footstep. Each time-exposure demands absolute care and respect.
Museums, galleries and vintage stores regularly reconstitute the contents of such houses. They transplant the objects and despite such curatorial efforts or sales tricks, profoundly change an object's meaning. In the process and stripped of their context, exhibits lose much of their authenticity and relationship to the place in which they originally existed.
Its contents are destined to disappear, or be consigned to some vendor's market stall, or stark gallery. Photography will help vicariously remember the life and times of this house and its occupants.
Perhaps most poignant is the family of dolls and toys. Viewed in isolation these represent no great discovery, yet captured in their original surroundings, they stir our imaginations. It is as if the toys have in some way worn and aged along with the house.
Small treasures, meaningless now, yet loved long ago lay under blankets and velvetine covers. Old metal cars and pull along horses appear to stand by keeping vigil. And boxes or dolls, golliwogs and bears lay piled together like an early rendering from Toy Story. Perhaps they really had been scampering around the house just moments before we arrived and fell down in fear as soon as they heard our approach.
Like seasoned actors those dolls posed unstintingly and without complaint. One or two consistently closed their eyes and no amount of encouragement made them awaken. Perhaps it was their age. Many had limbs, ears, eyes or tufts of fur missing and never once complained. They really were story-book perfect subjects.
My camera blinks red and then relays the recorded image onto the viewfinder. There's a beautiful shot of Sweetie at the wheel of a rusting old car. And another image of a headless jockey doll with his enigmatic companions fills my viewfinder. They slump or stand defiantly by an odd turntable with a bizarre antler arm.
Antiquity doesn't have to be thousands, or hundreds of years old to affect us. Vintage is more recent and has its own influence. It remind us of children who became adults who then became our grandparents. That is some of the fascination of these dolls, bears and toys. It increased the sense of intimacy with this place and produced images fragile, yet powerful reminders of a time lost and re-discovered.
There were plenty more finds including such social/cultural pearls as observed in a women's magazine from the old larder, or food storage room. It featured an advertisement for a now out of production oven with ways in which women could secure their marriage. The heading cooed: "Keep hold of your man."
Reading by torchlight we discovered more of the secret: "He will remain forever faithful once under the spell of your succulent, perfumed, home-cooked beef."
Who said 5th Avenue and Ad Men invented the most absurdly sexist advertising?
The house was abandoned in the late 1940s. Despite its continued decay it refuses to surrender to the gravity of old age. The old iron roof has resisted inclement weather for its entire lifetime. And its peeling, stripped weatherboards exhibit remarkable resistance to the elements. Before much longer though its sagging timbers will yield some more and finally collapse like a leg-weary old man, or woman. Or it might be bulldozed to make way for a proposed freeway expansion.
As we move through the house it becomes obvious that the old blinds and shutters have done their work and helped to preserve its contents. In reality the absence of any direct sunlight is our friend.
The house fascinates for plenty of reasons. We rarely get to experience properties in the 'original' state any more. Most houses undergo a constant and steady round of renewal, reinvention and plastic surgery. Reality television makes a huge point of this.
And it's worth remembering that the everyday objects, the dolls and toys that now seem 'weird' or 'creepy' weren't at all weird or creepy once. They were precious and belonged to people just like us. We wonder though if, just like in Toy Story, the dolls with the banged up eyes and missing limbs really do want to tell us their story. But in the end our adult eyes and ears might not always see or hear what they have to say.
What we discovered was less and more than what we had hoped. Less in that there were no remarkable personal diaries or astonishing, long-lost works of art. It was simpler, highly personal and no less poignant. Here were objects accumulated from two, three and four generations ago left just as they were left. Newspapers and magazines left strewn about narrowed the end of occupancy to around 1950.
Photography is the art of recognizing the extraordinary amid the everyday. It's also about preparing for the unexpected. Special images can find you, simply because you have a camera in hand. This was one of those moments.
I'm also reminded, as I prepare my camera set-ups, of the contrast between my hi-tech. equipment and those generations whose possessions exist within my viewfinder. They would have marveled at such technology and disbelieved such a technically preposterous camera could ever exist. Hopefully though they would be pleased that their history didn't end when their front door finally closed for the last time.

SC turns down Centre's review plea on convicted lawmakers
But agrees to reconsider ban on jailed netas to contest elections
R Sedhuraman
New Delhi, September 4
The Supreme Court today dismissed the Centre's petition seeking a review of the July 10 judgment disqualifying MPs and MLAs immediately upon their conviction by the trial court in serious criminal cases, maintaining that the verdict did not suffer from any infirmities, legal or otherwise.
A Bench comprising Justices AK Patnaik and SJ Mukhopadhaya, however, agreed to review its judgment debarring jailed candidates from contesting elections.
During arguments on both the review petitions filed by the Centre, the Bench clarified that the government was free to amend the laws to undo the verdicts as the SC had merely interpreted the provisions of the Representation of People Act 1951 and the Constitution while delivering the July 10 judgment.
The Bench said its conclusions on the convicted lawmakers had been vindicated by the fact that the provisions of a fresh Bill prepared by the government on the subject were on the lines of the SC views.
"We are glad Parliament has accepted the well considered judgment. The (Law) Ministry has done a thorough research to finalise the proposed law, under which convicted lawmakers would be allowed to continue but would not be entitled to vote in the House or draw emoluments until they got their conviction stayed by a higher court," it said.
On its verdict on jailed candidates, it clarified that all that it did was interpretation of the relevant provisions of the RPA and the Constitution. "We found there was a lacuna in the law which was the result of clumsy drafting. Instead of accepting its mistake, the government is blaming that we have encroached upon its territory," the Bench observed.
The RPA had barred the jailed voters from exercising their right to franchise but allowed them to contest elections without explaining the distinction or the reasons for the discrimination against those who wanted to vote. The Bench noted that although the Centre was a party to the PIL case that was before the Patna High Court, it failed to challenge the HC verdict in the SC. It also did not come forward to advance its arguments during the hearing of the appeal in the SC, which ultimately upheld the HC ruling on jailed candidates.
Nevertheless, the Bench issued notice on the review petition pertaining to jailed candidates and slated the next hearing for October 23.
It also agreed to hear Ramesh Dalal, president of the Haryana Swatantra Party, who has also sought a review of the verdict.
Parliament free to amend laws
The top court clarified that the government was free to amend the laws to undo the verdicts as the SC had merely interpreted the provisions of the Representation of People Act-1951 and the Constitution while delivering the July 10 judgment

The Journal of Archetypal Cosmology
About Archai
A great deal of research contributing to the emerging field of archetypal cosmology is currently being done at several institutions in California. Richard Tarnas, author of the book Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View, is the founding director of the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Program at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. Keiron Le Grice, a founding editor of Archai, is Chair of the Jungian and Archetypal Studies specialization in the Depth Psychology program at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara.
The Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Program at CIIS has a new online Masters degree, with one of its three concentrations of study in Archetypal Cosmology.

Astrological Calculations
For those interested in calculating transits and natal charts we recommend Solar Fire astrological software for PC computers, and Astro Gold for Mac computers and handheld devices.
For an app based completely on the principles of archetypal cosmology, Archetypal Explorer shows personal and world transits as wave-forms across time, indicating when transits are moving into and out of the orb of influence. A subscription to the website will provide the user with weekly transit reports accompanied by Richard Tarnas' descriptions of the archetypal influences.
The Astro-Databank Wiki Project houses thousands of birth charts of famous individuals.
