People are always talking about balance in their lives and for people without chronic illness or kids or both, I think is a much simpler task – the task of finding balance.
For parents with chronic illness, finding balances can be a real challenge. For example, daily chores and task become much more complicated as the schedules are rapidly filled with doctor appointments and children's activities on top of basic daily functions that are a struggle at times regardless of anything else. Also, there are times when a choice has to be made between doctor's appointments and your child's activities. For example, I am on Remicade infusions as well as a host of other drugs – the infusions alone take 4 hours of my day for each for every dose. On days that Will has school programs or parties I have to make the long term choice to go get my treatment but feel like both Will and myself are missing out on the experience at school. This brings me back to a previous post about guilt. And raises more questions than I will answer in this post alone.
How are parents supposed to find a happy balance between being great parents and improving, managing, or even maintaining their own health? Logically, taking care of the health concerns are the obvious step because the long term benefits will also benefit your child. Emotionally, there are days where it feels there is no balance in site. Stepping aside and looking at the big picture helps but that does not mean that it is difficult not to be frustrated and feel defeated at times. I do think knowing that other parents feel the same frustrations and that it is okay to feel those frustrations helps.
We live in a society that feels very judgmental toward how people raise their kids to begin with and trying to raise a child under that social pressure while dealing with chronic illness makes things much more difficult. No, every mom's dream is not to be a stay at home mom. Yes, it is possible to have a career and be a fantastic mom. Society has trained parents as a whole to continually compete with each other instead of offering support and kindness. I believe that the children are the ones who suffer the most but not just the children – do a quick search to see how many antidepressants are prescribed each year. This is a huge market! I wonder if we – as a society – took a minute to rethink how we continually judge parents as a whole and acted in a positive, supportive way what those prescription numbers would look like.
Finding balance is difficult for parents in general and I think the words – just find a balance – are much easier to say than to actually do. By supporting each other and creating an environment where it is acceptable to say that you are having a difficult time or need some help just might be a step in the right direction.


Savolainen, V., V.M. Canuto, and O. Schilling, 1992: Penetrative convection: Parameterized expression for the growth rates. Phys. Fluids A , 4, 626-629, doi:10.1063/1.858278.
The equations determining the linear growth rate ω characterizing a convectively unstable fluid with Rayleigh number Ru bounded below by an impenetrable free boundary and above by a convectively stable fluid with Rayleigh number Rs, are solved numerically. Using the analytical Rayleigh-Bénard growth rate ωRB as a convenient functional form it is possible to fit the numerical values for ω if the vertical wave number kz = nπ and the Rayleigh number RRB are taken to be functions of Rs, Ru, and the horizontal wave number kL, rather than n = integer as in the Rayleigh-Bénard case. In additional, contrary to Rayleigh-Bénard convection, in which the critical Rayleigh number is fixed (RcrRB = 657.5), it is found that Rcru is variable in the presence of a stable layer, i.e., it depends on Rs. Specifically, for Rs < 6300, Rcru < RcrRB so that the stable fluid hastens the onset of convection; on the other hand, when Rs > 6300, Rcru > RcrRB so that the system becomes more stable.

It is the end of a process - a mindset - that recognized nuclear weapons for their globe-killing reality and sought their reduction and eventual elimination. The primary problem, however, isn't the technical aspects of any controversy over treaty compliance - as a veteran of several such controversies, I can attest that they can be resolved to mutual satisfaction, provided both parties are committed to the process.

BMW Individual is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and one of their special projects was introduced this week at the Frankfurt Auto Show. The BMW M760Li xDrive V12 Excellence was built in collaboration with Nautor's Swan, a famous Finnish shipyard with a history of more than 50 years.
Nautor's Swan produced some elements for this special model by hand at their workshop in western Finland. These include teak panels with joints filled precisely with a fine layer of rubber. This allows the wood to expand and contract with changing temperatures.
This is particularly sensible for the deck on a yacht – but also in a car. That is why this carbon-bonded wooden component graces the boot floor in the BMW Individual M760Li inspired by Nautor's Swan. The boot is also intricately fitted out in Alcantara Smoke White.
The interior trims, entry sills and floor mats are also made with teak and have been produced by Nautor's Swan as the Finnish brand's insignia is noticeable. The Nautor's Swan signet is stitched into the headrests and cushions. It also adorns the sun visors and interior trims made of European oak on the driver's side and the central console.
The cooperation between the two brands is also apparent on the exterior. The brake calipers on the BMW Individual M760Li, which are exclusively finished in the same color as the car, each bear a raised Swan logo, which is manufactured in an extra procedure. The boot lid of the car is also decorated with the Nautor's Swan arrow, which is usually to be found on the side of the yachts.
The special model comes finished in the BMW Individual color Damask Red and with a two-tone fine-grain Merino leather interior in smoke white and Criollo brown.
Keep coming up with theme based designs in order to keep the product from going out of favour of prospective consumers.
What? Which planet are you on? Just look at the sales figures for the current 7 series. It is the second best selling luxury car closely after the S class in worldwide sales. Clearly the current design is winner.
Check well, loser. All you can is to delete comments on your idiotic blog.

The other day I posted one of my other blog post in the only Christian forum I belong to. Before the day was over it was removed, which is why I was disappointed. Not that it was removed, but as I see it the reasons for it removal.
This blog post had to deal with the extremism within the church of how they approach their faith. On the one hand we had up until the 1400s the one and only church, the Catholics. They had adopted an "it is all works" mentality. They made ritual after ritual and offered writs in forgiveness of any sin committed. This led to open sin and ultimately rebellion in the form of Martin Luther's thesis and the Reformation. Now today we are suffering form it is all faith, which has been twisted due to the hippie movement of the 1960s, which at its core was secularism, that we must love all. Both are extremes, both totally remove God and His Son Jesus Christ from the equation and leave only humanity at its core and focal point. Thus are worthy by those that profess God to be their focal point to openly rebel against those that embrace this extremism that negates God all together.
In the post I received a comment. In it the person referred to Galatians 5:6.
Now when you place Galatians chapter five in context you find that it deals only with the fact that it refers to the point that both Jews and Gentiles are welcome within Christendom through the saving grace and love of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Now just so you the reader can understand. The context of my previous post had to deal with James 2:14-26 which dealt with the fact that it takes both faith a.k.a. love and works which are not rituals but acts of commitment to Jesus Christ like for example the act of repentance.
So back on track. I pointed out to the commenter that very point that their comment was totally out of context with my article. The reply I got was my post being removed from the forum.
The only thing the commenter saw was the word "love." This is the mark of someone that had fallen for the extremism of "love conquers all" and "we must embrace all as they are." These are the key marks of the hippie movement that came out of the sixties and Satan. I know this because I was there and saw the words "love" and "peace" everywhere I went; along with movies which depicted orgies and mass drug abuse. This mentality does not allow for there to be the need for works like that of the most important act that someone must take to acknowledge their commitment to Jesus Christ as their Savior, that being repentance. In fact those that embrace this extremism say that we must accept people as they are no matter what sins they live within. It is this type of extremism that allowed two young men to stand in front of all the people in what was once a church as one kneeled down and proposed to the other. Now I say "what was once a church" for the moment they accepted this sin into their congregation they chose humanity over God as their core belief and no longer were a part of the Body of Jesus Christ, and so the term "church" no longer applies to them. They are simply a social club of love. A love that will not lead to the feet of God, but to the pit of fire.
This is why I am disappointed that my blog post was removed from my Christian forum, because someone became offended in the politically correct mentality which again is something that is humanity focused not God focused. I forgive them for their sin they have commit, not to me, but to whom I serve. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Claiming political contributions and gifts
Who can claim?
What can I claim?
Membership of registered political parties
Giving to independent candidates and members
What is an independent candidate?
How much can I claim?
This information is for individuals who make gifts or contributions to political parties and politicians.
In some circumstances, your gifts and contributions to political parties and independent candidates and members may be claimed as income tax deductions.
Current register of political partiesExternal Link
Your political gifts or contributions need to be made in a personal capacity to be tax deductible.
Businesses cannot claim deductions for contributions and gifts to political parties, members and candidates including payments incurred in deriving assessable income.
The recipient must be one of the following:
a political party registered under Commonwealth, state or territory legislation
an independent member of the Commonwealth Parliament, a state parliament, the Legislative Assembly of the Northern Territory or the Legislative Assembly of the Australian Capital Territory
an independent candidate for the Commonwealth Parliament, a state parliament, the Legislative Assembly of the Northern Territory or the Legislative Assembly of the Australian Capital Territory
Your contribution or gift must be $2 or more and be either:
property that they purchased during the 12 months before making the contribution or gift.
You can't claim a deduction for contributions and gifts made under a will.
A deduction for a contribution or gift cannot add to or create a tax loss.
Political parties registered under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918External Link
If you pay a membership subscription to a registered political party, you can claim it as a tax deduction.
If you make a contribution or gift to an independent candidate in an election you must make the contribution after the candidates for the election are officially declared or announced and before either:
the candidate withdraws
the election result is officially declared or announced.
If you make a contribution or gift to an independent member, the contribution or gift must be made during their term of office.
An independent candidate is not endorsed by a political party registered under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 or under corresponding state or territory electoral legislation. The term includes an endorsed candidate of an unregistered political party.
An independent member is not a member of a political party that is registered under Part XI of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 or under corresponding state or territory legislation.
The term includes a member of an unregistered political party.
You need to claim your tax deduction for a political contribution or gift in the income year you made the contribution or gift.
The most you can claim in an income year is:
$1,500 for contributions and gifts to political parties
$1,500 for contributions and gifts to independent candidates and members.
The amount of the deduction for a contribution or gift of property is either the market value of the property on the day the contribution or gift was made or the amount the individual paid for the property, whichever is less.
Example – Donating to political parties, independent members and candidates
During the 2014–15 income year, John contributes in his personal capacity $500 and $1,500 respectively to two registered political parties. He also gifts $200, $600 and $1,100 respectively to two independent candidates and one independent member.
John may claim a tax deduction of $3,000 in his 2014–15 tax return:
$1,500 for the $2,000 contributed to political parties
$1,500 for the $1,900 gifted to the independent candidates and the independent member.
End of example
Political parties are not DGRs. However, in some circumstances, gifts and contributions made by individuals to political parties and independent candidates may be tax deductible.

Other texts concerned the promotion, protection and enjoyment of human rights on the Internet; the impact of arms transfers on human rights; the situation of human rights in the Syrian Arab Republic; the situation of human rights in Belarus; the Social Forum; the commencement of the fourth cycle of the Universal Periodic Review; and new and emerging digital technologies and human rights.
In a resolution on the promotion and protection of the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Africans and of people of African descent against excessive use of force and other human rights violations by law enforcement officers through transformative change for racial justice and equality, the Council decided to establish an international independent expert mechanism for a period of three years, comprising three experts with law enforcement and human rights expertise, to investigate governments' responses to peaceful anti-racism protests and all violations of international human rights law and to contribute to accountability and redress for victims.
On the situation of human rights in Belarus, the Council  decided to extend the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Belarus for a period of one year, urging the Belarusian authorities to cooperate fully with the Special Rapporteur, including by allowing her access to visit the country and to meet freely with relevant stakeholders, including civil society, in her official capacity in order to assist the Belarusian authorities in fulfilling Belarus' international human rights obligations and by considering the implementation of her recommendations, and also urged the Belarusian authorities to extend full cooperation to thematic special procedures.
In a resolution on the promotion, protection and enjoyment of human rights on the Internet, the Council condemned unequivocally all human rights violations and abuses committed against persons for exercising their human rights and fundamental freedoms on the Internet, and called upon all States to ensure accountability and effective remedies in this regard, in accordance with their international obligations.  The Council requested the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to study the trend in Internet shutdowns, analysing their causes, their legal implications and their impact on a range of human rights, including economic, social and cultural rights.
Concerning the impact of arms transfers on human rights, the Council urged all States to refrain from transferring arms when they assess, in accordance with applicable domestic laws, regulations and procedures and international obligations and commitments, that there is a clear risk that such arms might be used to commit or facilitate serious violations or abuses of international human rights law or serious violations of international humanitarian law.  The Council also requested the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to prepare, in consultation with States, United Nations agencies and other relevant stakeholders, an analytical report on good practices, lessons learned and challenges faced by States in preventing, mitigating and addressing the diversion of arms and unregulated or illicit arms transfers that have a particular impact on the enjoyment of human rights by children and youth.
In a resolution on the situation of human rights in the Syrian Arab Republic, the Council deplored the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic, which the risks created by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic have further exacerbated. It recalled that applicable obligations under international humanitarian law and international human rights law, including with regard to the fate and whereabouts of missing persons, exist independently of a political agreement.
In a resolution on the Social Forum, adopted without a vote, the Council requested the President of the Human Rights Council to appoint, as early as possible, from candidates nominated by regional groups, the Chair-Rapporteur for the 2022 Social Forum, bearing in mind the principle of regional rotation.  The Council invited the 2022 Social Forum to submit a report containing its conclusions and recommendations to the Human Rights Council at its fifty-second session.
In a decision on the commencement of the fourth cycle of the universal periodic review, the Council decided that the fourth cycle of the universal periodic review shall commence in October/November 2022, once the outcome documents of the last States under review during the third cycle have been adopted by the Council at its fiftieth session.
In a resolution on cooperation with and assistance to Ukraine in the field of human rights, the Council invited the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to continue to  present  orally  to  the  States  Members  of  the  Human  Rights  Council  and  observers  the findings of each of the  reports of the Office of the  High Commissioner on the situation of human rights in Ukraine as part of the interactive dialogues, and through the modalities of the Council, in accordance with its resolution 5/1 of 18 June 2007, until the fifty-third session of the Council.
In a resolution on new and emerging digital technologies and human rights, the Council requests the Office of the High Commissioner to convene two expert consultations, to discuss the relationship between human rights and technical standard-setting processes for new and emerging digital technologies and the practical application of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights to the activities of technology companies, and to submit a report thereon, reflecting the discussions held in an inclusive and comprehensive manner, to the Human Rights Council at its fiftieth and fifty-third session.

Tags: Feminism, Japan, Japanese Lanaguage, Memoir, Nonfiction, Women in Translation
Author: Shiori Itō
Genres: Memoir, Nonfiction
Publisher: Feminist Press
The internationally recognized sexual assault memoir that revolutionized a feminist movement around rape, stigma, and silence in Japan. In 2015, an aspiring young journalist named Shiori Ito charged prominent reporter Noriyuki Yamaguchi with rape. After meeting up for drinks and networking, Ito remembers regaining consciousness in a hotel room whilst being assaulted. But when she went to the police, Ito was told that her case was a "black box"—untouchable and unprosecutable. Upon publication in 2017,…
It feels tone deaf to review and rate a memoir, particularly one based on such traumatic experiences – I have no place to judge the lived experiences of someone else. So while this is not a full review, I did want to make sure I give space and voice to this powerful story from Japanese journalist Shiori Itō, especially given the struggles that led her to publish this work in the first place.
I had been told by the prosecutor in charge of my case that, because the assault occurred behind closed doors, the incident was a 'black box.'
In the days and months and years since then, as one of the parties involved and as a journalist, I have focused my efforts on how to shine light into this black box.
Black Box: The Memoir That Sparked Japan's #MeToo Movement was originally published in Japan in 2017. Since then, Itō's story and civil case has gained extensive international coverage. In her memoir, Itō not only tells her story of being raped by an influential colleague but also, using her journalist finesse, explains the context of rape and quasi-rape in the Japanese legal system. By doing so, she not only brings light to her case but also surfaces the longstanding misogyny and perpetrator protectionism that hindered justice for countless victims of sexual harassment.
My father's words reminded me of something that one of the police officers had said: 'It isn't convincing unless you cry more, or get angry. You've got to act like a victim.'
Itō provides the jarring reminder that even when we feel safe in our daily lives, there is data to suggest otherwise. In a particularly memorable passage, she writes:
I saw these survey results on Asa-ichi, a morning show on NHK (the Japan Broadcasting Corporation):
"Things That Lead You to Think That the Other Person Consents to Sex"
Eating together, just the two of you 11%
Drinking together, just the two of you 27%
Getting in a car, just the two of you 25%
Revealing clothes 23%
Being Drunk 35%
There's not a single item in this list that indicates sexual consent.
Black Box is an important and powerful read and a reminder of the different journeys that we, as women of the world, are on – as we continue to navigate patriarchal legislation and as we continue to speak out against injustice in our respective nations.
In 2019, Shiori Itō was awarded $30,000 in damages in her rape case against Noriyuki Yamaguchi.


Right now, mercury is still used in vaccines given to children and expectant mothers in the United States. Those engaged in the continued pushing of mercury vaccines onto children are knowingly taking part in the most gruesome and dishonest medical science cover-up in the history of our world. It is the time that parents, citizens, independent scientists and compassionate protectors of life took a stand against the child prisoners who are pushing mercury vaccines that cause permanent neurological disorders in children.
The CDC is a criminal operation that preys upon innocent children using fraudulent science.
This war on children must be brought to an end in the name of compassion, sanity and legitimate science (not the fraudulent corporate science pushed by vaccine companies and the corrupt CDC).
Right now, mercury is still used in vaccines given to children and expectant mothers in the United States.

Too Hot to Handle Update: Which Couple Is 'Stronger Than Ever' Today?
By Andy Swift / April 23 2020, 12:00 PM PDT
Courtesy of Netflix
Heads up (and hands off): We're about to spoil the finale of Netflix's Too Hot to Handle. If you haven't completed the reality sexperiment, turn back now.
"I get the girl and I get a bit of money? You can't put a price on this" Harry Jowsey declared in the finale of Netflix's Too Hot to Handle. "This is magic." Indeed, the 21-year-old Australian — who spent all eight episodes romancing 26-year-old Instagram model Francesca Farago — was riding high after learning that all 10 players would split the $75,000 grand prize evenly.
But how is he feeling now, more than a year after filming wrapped on the show? We can't exactly tell you that, but we can confirm that he and Francesca are still going strong. "Stronger than ever," in fact.
"We are still together," she tells TVLine, admitting that "it's been hard with the long distance." (She currently resides in British Columbia, while he has since relocated from Queensland to Los Angeles.) "And we had a little break in between, but we're stronger than ever. It's hard because we can't watch the show together, and we can't see each other in person until quarantine is over. I'm a little nervous to watch our love story, but he's my No. 1 friend and my greatest cheerleader, so we'll support each other through it."
As for that infamous painting of Francesca's "yoni," it remains safely in Harry's possession… for now. "He sent a picture of it to me a few days ago," she says. "It's not hanging up yet, because he lives with a few guys now, so it might be weird for a random 'cat' painting to be hanging up. But when Harry and I get a place, we'll probably hang it in the bathroom to remind us [how our relationship started]."
Beyond that, "We want to get a Rottweiler and a Bulldog and have a little dog family," she says. "And we're not opposed to doing more television — but hopefully not something like Ex on the Beach."
Too Hot to Handle: Francesca's Wildest Season 1 Moments Explained
Sadly, the same can't be said for Atlanta-based Rhonda Paul, 27, and New Jersey native Sharron Townsend, 25. "We're not together, but we're still very close," Rhonda tells TVLine. "We actually have not had a chance to see each other again, face to face, since we filmed the season. There's been so much stuff going on. We've both been busy with work. At some point, we both realized that it just wasn't going to work, but we we decided to still be there for one another. Hopefully when this quarantine is all over, we can find that time while things slowly get back to normal."
Are you surprised that Francesca and Harry are still "going strong," or that Sharron and Rhonda haven't seen each other since filming the show? Drop a comment with your thoughts below.

Welders have many types of certifications, for various jobs.
3 Do AWS Welding Certifications Expire?
The TIG, or tungsten inert gas, welding process is often used for welding thin materials such as stainless steel. Developed by the aircraft industry, it requires a higher level of skill than other types of welding. No levels of certification for TIG or other types of welding exist, but there are types of certification.
Welders are certified for specific welds. Certification tests must be given by American Welding Society Certified Welding Inspectors and may be for types of metal, thickness of the weld, position of the weld and other factors. The CWI first visually inspects the weld, then it must pass an X-ray test and a bend test.
Welders are often certified for specific types of welds on the job. The company either has an independent CWI or an authorized employee conduct the test. A welding certification at one company will usually not carry over to another company. If you are an independent TIG welder, you can contact AWS to be certified, but you must pay the testing fee.

From September through May, the men gather once a month at the church for prayer, fellowship and a light lunch. Attendees are members as well as friends of the church. Following the lunch, a guest speaker shares ideas and experiences with the men. Information about the date and times appear in our weekly newsletter and the calendar.


There is no shortage of rules in the game of hockey or in the practice of law, but just one in the locker room of the University of Michigan Law School's ice hockey team.
"We don't talk law," said 2L Alejandro Montenegro. "Law school is an incredible experience and there are not going to be too many times in life when you have this environment. But I think it's important to find something in addition to academics, so twice a week I go to the Ann Arbor Ice Cube to play a little hockey and let off a little steam."
Joining the team as a 1L, Montenegro saw his circle of friends at U-M Law grow exponentially within a few weeks of hitting the ice.
"The bond hockey players have is a strange and funny thing," Montenegro said. "We have the common experience of studying here and playing hockey, and having a few alums on the team speaks to the Michigan experience and its tremendous network of alumni."
The experience was much the same for captain and 3L Max Aidenbaum, who joined the team mid-way through his 1L year.
"Someone mentioned it to me and I contacted the guys in charge. I played the very next day," Aidenbaum said. "It was an incredible thing to become part of a new community so quickly. Some of my very best friends on campus are guys that I met through the hockey team and I would be shocked if we didn't continue as friends after law school."
Although the Ambulance Chasers -- cliché intended -- play in a competitive adult league, 2L Josh LaVigne said the team has "the right attitude" toward the game.
"There are good teams and bad teams, but it's all in fun," he said. "You want to play to win, but there are all skill levels out there. We're competitive, but one of the best things is the team aspect."
In addition to building community, membership on the team works wonders as both a time management and relaxation device, players say.
"With the games at night, it gives me time to get my work done and clear my head at the end of the night," LaVigne said. "During the game, you're not thinking about the next exam or paper due, just the puck on the ice."
Aidenbaum added that with the game schedule set far in advance, members can be smart about their time. "And there is never any judgment or pressure in the locker room to have perfect attendance," he said. "We are all in the same boat."
Always looking for new players, the Chasers start their season in late September and skate through mid-March, playing Monday and Thursday games at the Ice Cube, and finishing the season with a single-elimination playoff that determines the league champion.
Apart from league play, the Chasers also compete each year in the Skate for Justice Tournament, an annual charity fundraiser for the State Bar of Michigan's Access to Justice fund. Playing teams from Michigan State University, Wayne State University, and the University of Detroit Mercy, the Chasers took home the Justice Cup in 2012 and are hoping to host this year's tournament on home ice at Yost Arena.

Life and politics from the Sunshine State's best city
Martin Dyckman: Elian Gonzalez, a painful chapter in Cuban-American history
Published on May 2, 2017 in 2017/Top Headlines by Martin Dyckman
Some things in life ought to be above politics, none more so than a parent's relationship to a child. How this truth was sorely tested in Florida not so long ago is the subject of a new documentary that we should all want to see. CNN reportedly will air it sometime after it begins to appear in theaters later this month.
As described in the Miami Herald Sunday, it relates the "painful chapter in Cuban-American history" that began early on Thanksgiving morning 1999 when two South Florida fishermen found 5-year Elian Gonzalez tied to an inner tube in the ocean.
His mother and 10 others who were trying to flee Cuba had drowned two days before when their boat swamped. His father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, was still in Cuba, where Elian had frequently stayed with him after his parents' divorce. He had not consented to his ex-wife removing the boy from the island.
Relatives in Miami took custody of the child and refused the demands of his father and the Cuban government to send him home, turning a human saga of death and survival into an international incident.
To the Miami relatives and much if not most of the Cuban exile community there, it was a struggle between the democracy where they thought he should live and the dictatorship where his sole surviving parent lived. A father's rights to his son seemed no part of it. Little thought was given, not in public anyhow, to how Americans might feel if it were a case of an American father trying to retrieve a child from Cuba.
The relatives filed asylum applications on Elian's behalf, but the Immigration and Naturalization Service rejected them. After interviewing both the boy and his father, the agency found that the father had not been coerced by the Cuban government and that 6-year-olds "lack the capacity to file personally for asylum against the wishes of their parents." The case went to court. A district court sided with the government, and the relatives appealed to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld the INS June 1, 2000.
That court said that although it was "troubled" by the fact that Cuba was a dictatorship, the INS was "reasonable" in concluding that the father's wishes trumped political concerns.
By then, armed federal agents acting under Attorney General Janet Reno's command had rescued Elian, or kidnapped him, depending on one's point of view, to reunite him with his father in Washington. The April 21 raid was incendiary news, especially at Miami, where Reno had been the state attorney before becoming Bill Clinton's longest-serving Cabinet member.
Father and son remained in the United States while the Miami relatives appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. On June 28, the high court refused to hear the case. Elian and his father returned to Cuba a few hours later. They live there still; Elian is now an industrial engineering graduate, a member of the Young Communists Union, and an admirer of the late dictator Fidel Castro.
I had known Reno for years, considered her a friend, and wasn't surprised by the courage she displayed in doing what she knew would be greatly unpopular back home.
It was the last of her significant controversial decisions she made at the Justice Department, one of which was to authorize the independent counsel's investigation that led to Clinton's impeachment by the House.
But there was the ex-president, speaking at her memorial service December in Miami, praising her as the person whom he knew would always do what she thought was right, no matter the consequences.
The Gonzalez story was underplayed on that occasion. The Cuban community was still celebrating Fidel Castro's recent death, and Reno's family thought it best not to reopen old wounds by revealing the telephone call they had received after she had lost her long struggle with Parkinson's disease. I had been told, but in confidence.
This week, upon news of the documentary, they decided the time had come.
The week after Reno died, her surviving sibling, Maggy Hurchalla, answered the phone at the Reno homestead in Kendall.
"This is the Cuban embassy in Washington, D.C.," the caller said. "We have a message for the family of Janet Reno …
"The family of Elian Gonzalez would like to convey their love and gratitude for sending their boy home."
Yes, there are still some things that are more important than politics.

Csikány Tamás, népszerű nevén Fácán, nemzetközi művésznevén Tom Stormy magyar rockabilly dobos. Három évtizedes pályafutása során a rockabilly műfaj egyik magyarországi meghonosítója és népszerűsítője, évekig a Mystery Gang zenekarvezetője, 2011 és 2017 között az Ed Philips and the Memphis Patrol dobosa.

Zenei pályafutása

Szolnokon nevelkedett. Zenei pályafutását az általános iskolában kezdte, a dobbal hat évvel idősebb, dobos bátyja ismertette meg, zeneiskolába nem járt. A nyolcadikban osztálytársaival amatőr zenekart alapított, majd a szolnoki Vásárhelyi Pál Közgazdasági Szakközépiskola tanulója lett. Középiskolai évei alatt a nyolcvanas években a Miért ne?, majd a Cukrosbácsik együttesben játszott. Előbbiben dobolt, utóbbiban basszusgitáron játszott. Első sikere is ebből az időből való, a rock and roll és punk elemeket vegyítő Perverzrakendroll.

A rockabilly műfajjal a Stray Cats együttes egyik lemezének meghallgatása során ismerkedett meg, ekkor kezdett el komolyabban dobolni. 1988-tól együttese a Black Cadillac, a legelső rockabilly zenekar az országban. Az együttes klub körökben jelentős népszerűségre tett szert, de szerepeltek az akkor nagyon fontos bemutatkozási lehetőségnek bizonyuló ÁSZ című televíziós műsorban is.

Fácán az 1989-es Közgáz Cadillac fesztiválon megismerkedett a szintén ott zenélő Gunning Dogs tagjaival. A Gunning Dogs a Proton kiadónál lemezszerződést kapott, ám dobosuk nem kívánt komolyabb professzionális zenei pályára lépni, ezért kiszállt a trióból. Fácán került a helyére, ekkor Szolnokról Budapestre költözött. A lemez után a zenekar országosan ismertté vált rockabilly körökben.

Két és fél évvel az album után a zenekar feloszlott. Fácán átmeneti jelleggel megalakította a Bulgária együttest, melyben kizárólag Hungária dalokat dolgoztak fel. Nézeteltérések miatt Fácán távozott az együttesből, amely később feloszlott.

Egri Péter hívására csatlakozott a Mystery Train együtteshez, mely később nevet változtatott, új neve Mystery Gang lett, hamarosan országos népszerűségre tettek szert, de Európa szerte is koncerteztek, több albumuk jelent meg.

Tíz év után Fácán szakmai nézetkülönbségek miatt kilépett a trióból. Egy évet Ferenczi György és a Rackajam együttesben töltött, majd megalakította saját nemzetközi művészneve után az ötvenes évek amerikai zenéjét, elsősorban rockabillyt játszó Tom Stormy Triót. Az együttes tagjai Long Tall Sonny, Európa egyik legelismertebb rhythm and blues énekese és gitárosa, bőgőse Benke András (Buddy). A három zenész mellé csatlakozott Fenyvesi Zsófia (Rhythm Sophie) énekesnő. Ebben az időszakban album és több klip is készült, folyamatosak voltak a koncertek. Az együttes Bombariadó Rockabilly Cirkusz néven tartotta műsorait. Miután Fenyvesi Zsófia családi okokból külföldre költözött, a zenekar feloszlott.

2011-től 2017 novemberéig az Ed Philips and the Memphis Patrol dobosa volt. A három hangszeres zenészből és Ed Philips énekesből álló együttes kizárólag Elvis Presley dalainak hiteles előadásával foglalkozik. Nagy energiájú koncertjeiken főként Elvis korai rockabilly és későbbi lendületes dalait adják elő. Az együttes első albuma 2013-ban, a második albuma és két új klipje (Let Yourself Go, Frankfort Special) 2017 elején jelent meg.

Rockabilly dobosként 17 országban koncertezett. A zenekaron kívüli munkája részeként koncert- és fesztiválszervezőként is dolgozik.

David Crosby quotes and sayings
I love Stephen Stills and Neil Young dearly. We ta... (David Crosby)
I love Stephen Stills and Neil Young dearly. We talk all the time. We see each other.
David Crosby quotes
There are a lot of people who look great but can't sing.
When it all started, record companies - and there were many of them, and this was a good thing - were run by people who loved records, people like Ahmet Ertegun, who ran Atlantic Records, who were record collectors. They got in it because they loved music.
I come from a school of people, folk singers, and the tradition there is troubadours, and you're carrying a message. Now admittedly, our job is partly just to make you boogie, just make you want to dance. Part of our job is to take you on a little voyage, tell you a story.
I started singing in coffeehouses when I was still in high school, in Santa Barbara. I took a job washing dishes and busing tables in the coffeehouse, so I could be there, and would beg permission to sing harmony with the guy who was singing onstage. That was the first time I ever got on a stage in front of people.
I love voyaging - the longest has been 3,000 miles to Hawaii. I've also spent weeks all over the Caribbean.
I use a lot of tunings because I listen to a lot of jazz.
Now record companies are run by lawyers and accountants. The shift from the one to the other was definitely related to when the takes started to get big.
I've met Bill Clinton, Obama a couple of times... I certainly didn't meet George Bush, and wouldn't want to.
My father being in the movie business, I thought being an actor would be great. But when I started singing to people in coffeehouses, you know, singing folk music and then, later, singing songs that I started to write myself, I felt more than an affinity for it.
I don't collect the way other people do. Some people collect rare guitars, like, 'I have a '54 Strat worth $50,000.' And I don't collect the way Nash does. Nash has Duane Allman's guitar and Johnny Cash's guitar. I bought guitars because they sounded good. I played them, they sounded unbelievably good, and I couldn't resist.
