Sometimes, it amazes me, the beauty that surrounds us. A few weeks ago, Brian and I took a stroll down the Fox River in Geneva, Illinois with a lovely photographer and her assistant. We had a little picnic, played some games, and frolicked (yes, frolicked) around the playground surrounded by tiny humans. Our photographer captured some of the suburban Chicago beauty of spring, and I'd like to share that with you.
We weren't planning on having an engagement session, but when I stumbled across a contest (and YOU helped me win 3rd place), we received a complimentary photo shoot with the lovely and talented Joy.
All photos are from Being Joy Photography. If you can't get enough, you can check out her Chrissy and Brian blog post (and more of our engagement photos).
We began the session with a walk along the river, where we sat on a park bench and told bad jokes while Joy took lovely shots of us in the background.
Then we got up close and personal with this cherry blossom tree. Because look at it!
When Joy asked how I felt about laying on the ground, I informed her I'd do whatever she wanted; she was the professional. I was secretly hoping she'd take advantage of this and make me do some crazy incredible feat so that I'd fall down and have some truly epic photos…but she was kind.
We brought props. All the props. Edible props. Playable props. Toys. Games. You name it. We brought it. Obviously, cheese was the star of the show. But this game, Mice and Mystics, is our game. While it can play up to four players, it's the game Brian and I play on our at-home date nights. The game plays through an entire campaign, so we've been working our way through it slowly. Savoring it, if you will. My favorite part? The currency in the game is CHEESE.
In fact, we had a whole picnic with some of our cough my cough favorite things. Board games. Cheese. Champagne. It was glorious. And fun. I totally ate a ton of cheese that day too.
He wasn't having any of that nonsense. So we walked away. We had a wardrobe change and took some silhouette photos under this super cool archway. My grandpa, the brick layer, would have been proud.
There's this really cool looking foot bridge over the Fox River that I really loved photos on, and Joy was happy to oblige. This is one of my favorite photos from the whole shoot.
Across from the bridge, which is underneath the train bridge, Joy decided she wanted a shot of us in the support dealie (any one have any idea what this is called?). It turned out pretty cool!
And then we made our way to the playground, where there were dozens of tiny humans running around on the unseasonably warm April day. We had to get creative. Joy seemed to really appreciate our facial expressions. Brian called this my zombie face. He's not wrong.
Maybe one day, I'll show you all the picture of Brian falling off the swings…but for now, you can see us being all lovey and adorable.
We concluded our photo shoot with a picture of us taking a selfie. Because I'm kind of a selfie queen. It's a thing.
Did you have an engagement photo session when you got married? If you're not married yet, do you want an engagement sesh? Can you believe we're getting married in three and a half months?
No one paid me to write nice things about Joy, but I did win a contest in which the prize was the photo shoot. We paid for all prints and products.

Roy Moore: Threat, Or Savior? Examine his history to see!
Posted by Warm Southern Breeze on Sunday, November 12, 2017
First of all, let me state for the record: I am no fan of Roy Moore, nor have I ever been. So if you're closed minded enough to shut me out at this point, it's your loss.
As a native, and long-time (almost lifetime) Alabamian with numerous family & friends still residing there, I "have a dog in that fight," as is said. And to be certain, I love Sweet Home. What's NOT to like about a state with one of the nation's most significant diversity of flora and fauna, with mountains and beaches, clean water (for the most part), and moderate climate? It's her politicians I loathe.
Sure, whenever the word "Alabama" comes up, most folks outside the state simply roll their eyes, and shake their heads. I mean, after all, who could forget George C. Wallace who once infamously said following his 1958 gubernatorial electoral defeat, "I was out-niggered by John Patterson. And I'll tell you here and now, I will never be out-niggered again."
Who could forget the host state where horrific actions by former Governor George C. Wallace, who in his 1963 gubernatorial inaugural infamously said "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever," and his notorious stand in the schoolhouse door a few months later at Foster Auditorium on the campus of the University of Alabama, in Tuscaloosa on June 11, 1963?
Who could forget the deaths of 4 little girls in the KKK bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, the Bus Boycott, lunch counter sit-ins, Bloody Sunday, Birmingham's cruel Police Chief Theophilus Eugene "Bull" Connor, high-pressure fire hoses, police dogs, and the Selma to Montgomery March?
There's no question that it is the "bad" Wallace most people enjoy remembering. But they also conveniently forget the "good" Wallace which, following his close brush with death on the Presidential campaign trail in Maryland when would-be assassin Aurthur Bremer's five bullets cut him down May 15, 1972, permanently paralyzing him, had a Christian conversion experience, later wrote Bremer in prison and forgave him, and of his racist abuses later said in 1979 that, "I was wrong. Those days are over, and they ought to be over," publicly sought forgiveness of the Black community which he previously alienated and ostracized, and was overwhelmingly re-elected Governor with their support for an unprecedented fourth term. He is the only Alabamian to have ever been governor four times. Concerning his change of heart, and stance, as the Drive by Truckers sing, "it's the duality of the Southern thing."
But more to the point.
Roy Moore rose from political obscurity following 1992 appointment to the Etowah County County Circuit Judgeship (16th Circuit) by then Republican Governor Guy Hunt – a Primitive Baptist preacher & Amway salesman whose only political experience had been as Cullman County Probate Judge, who was the state's first Republican governor since Reconstruction, was later indicted and convicted of theft, conspiracy, and ethics violations, and forced to resign from office for misappropriating $200,000 from a 1987 inaugural account and using it for personal purchases, and for abusing a state-owned plane to fly to preaching appointments.
Whew! Almost gotta' catch your breath following all that! But, as is said, "the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree."
But I won't go into detail about Moore's son Caleb who, now nearing 30 years of age, has been arrested at least nine times on various charges – most recently as October 2017 – ranging from numerous illicit narcotics possession charges throughout Alabama, 2-DUIs in 2 different states, criminal trespass, hunting over bait, and without permission, and more, but has yet to serve a day behind bars for any his various misdeeds. Again, "the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree."
Roy Moore, who has been colloquially known as "The Ten Commandments Judge," gained notoriety for the circus atmosphere surrounding his steadfast refusal to remove a crude, homemade plaque of the Mosaic Law from his courtroom following orders to do so by a state Judge.
Parlaying himself into the role of a victim, he later campaigned for Alabama Supreme Court Justice, and won in 2001… but was later ousted November 2003 by the Alabama Court of the Judiciary for refusing to remove a monument which he commissioned of the Ten Commandments and had installed under the cloak of darkness in the Alabama Judicial Building.
Of note, a friend of mine had the lowest bid by far to remove the 5-ton granite monstrosity, but was rejected. Seems he proposed demolishing it and hauling it out in wheelbarrows to the dump.
Moore then campaigned in 2012 for the same office, and was again elected. In an Administrative order he issued January 6, 2016 to Alabama probate judges he defied the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, and ordered the magistrates in Alabama's 67 counties to refuse to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and to adhere to the Alabama Supreme Court rather than by the United States Supreme Court in the matter claiming the State court's orders "remain in full force and effect."
Because of his Administrative Order to the state's Probate Judges, on May 6, the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission forwarded charges against him to the Alabama Court of the Judiciary, which suspended him with pay pending a settlement, or trial before that court.
In August, Judge William Albritton of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama dismissed Moore's lawsuit which challenged the constitutionality of his suspension and discipline. Later that same month, the Alabama Court of the Judiciary held a hearing in which it refused to dismiss the complaint against Moore, or to dismiss him summarily from the bench, and suspended him September 30, 2016, for the remainder of his second term, which was due to expire January 13, 2019.
He appealed his suspension on October 3 that year, but the Alabama Supreme Court upheld the decision on April 19, 2017. Because he would be aged over 70 years at that time, Alabama law forbids his holding office, so he was effectively rendered null and void.
Which all brings us to the present.
Roy Moore is now the Republican party's nominee to replace former U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions, who after nomination by POTUS Donald J. Trump, and Senate confirmation, became the U.S. Attorney General. On December 12, 2017 in a Special Election, Moore will be facing Democrat candidate Doug Jones, a former Federal Prosecutor who is most renown for successfully prosecuting long-lost KKK domestic terrorists Bobby Frank Cherry, and Robert Edward Chambliss who killed four little girls in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing on on Sunday, September 15, 1963, in Birmingham, Alabama, and for indicting Eric Robert Rudolph who for 10 years bombed various buildings across the Southeast, and was known as the "Olympic Park Bomber."
But most recently, Moore has been blasted by accusations from four women unknown to each other, whose claims were independently validated by over 30 people, who did NOT seek out the press, and who told horrific tales about Moore, who at the time was in his early 30's and Deputy District Attorney for Etowah County, Alabama, and was known to "date" teenagers, and one of the four, whom at the time was aged 14, whom is identified as Leigh Corfman. In the allegations, the four told of him plying them with alcohol, taking them to his trailer, and fondling them. Or, more accurately, sexually assaulting them, including one episode in which he was alleged to have undressed to his underwear, and undressed to her underwear the 14-year-old, and then groped her breasts and crotch while he was visibly sexually aroused.
His "MO," or modus operandi, the tell-tale methods he used were all independently identified, and corroborated by the four. They all knew where he lived. They all knew where he worked. They all knew he was in his 30's, and they all knew that he knew they were under age.
To be certain, Moore was NOT accused of rape, but groping the genitals and breasts of teens not only a felony crime then, but it is now as well. However, the Statute of Limitations has since long expired for any possible attempt to prosecute for the crimes.
The women have no political or ideological axe to grind, and one is a registered Republican, and stated that she voted for Donald Trump.
Most recently, a former colleague of Moore's whom worked alongside him in the Etowah County District Attorney's Office – Teresa D. Jones, now residing in Sarasota, Florida and partner in a law firm there – wrote on the Gadsden Times website comments section that, "I was a deputy DA in Gadsden with Roy Moore. I have no doubt these stories have validity. Roy was known to eschew dating his own age and preferred teenagers. I challenge [sic] all of my colleagues in the Bar and on the bench at that time to come forward to support that Roy Moore should not be elected to represent the place of my birth and home for many years. Teresa D. Jones, Sarasota, Florida."
Moore has vehemently denied any such actions, though he has not denied knowing the women, and has "danced" around the issue by not answering with specificity the questions asked of him, and when radio personality Sean Hannity asked Moore, he responded saying, "Not generally no." He then added that, "I don't remember that, or dating any girl without the permission of her mother."
Despite the horrific nature of the claims, and their veracity, it has been equally shocking to see the number of Republicans to come forward to defend Moore stating that all allegations are false for any variety of reasons, despite the facts surrounding them all. Equally bizarre are some of the ludicrously preposterous defenses being made such as citing the Virgin Mary and Joseph as some sort of exemplars to justify Moore's criminal actions, and his denials.
To describe the debacle as a "side show" would be a gross mischaracterization. To call it a "freak show" would be only slightly more accurate.
Even the stalwart conservative standard bearer National Review has said Moore is "dangerous, unfit and vile," and "does not belong in American government."
However, some are still unpersuaded that Moore could have possibly behaved as a pedophile sexual abuser, and have asserted any variety of equally ludicrous and preposterous claims which are nothing but pure hyperbole, and more accurately outlandish conspiracy theories.
Now… even IF every allegation against him was false, there is something which is even MORE DISTURBING about Moore, and which is PUBLIC RECORD.
During his time on the bench as Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice, Moore and others heard and ruled July 10, 2015 on a case known as Eric Lemont HIGDON v. STATE of Alabama about a crime which occurred at a Christian Day Care Center in Clay, Alabama.
Here… I'll just copy/paste from the ruling, so you can read the horrific crime for yourself.
"The Court of Criminal Appeals, in its opinion, summarized the pertinent facts surrounding the offense:
"In the summer of 2012, Higdon, who was 17 years old, worked as an intern at Momma's Place Christian Academy, a day-care facility. Higdon's duties primarily consisted of cleaning the day-care facility and supervising children, either alone or in conjunction with an adult. During that summer, K.S., who was then four years old, was enrolled as a student at Momma's Place.
"During August 2012, Higdon accompanied K.S. to the bathroom on multiple occasions. While in the bathroom, Higdon pulled down K.S.'s pants, touched K.S.'s penis, and performed oral sex on K.S. K .S. did not report Higdon's actions because Higdon told K.S. not to tell anyone.
"On August 23, 2012, A.D., the parent of another child enrolled in the day-care facility, filed a police report alleging that Higdon had performed similar acts on her son. A.D. contacted K.S.'s mother, K.W., to alert her to the allegations against Higdon. K.W. asked K.S. if anyone at the day-care facility had touched him inappropriately. K.S. replied that Higdon had touched him and had 'put his mouth on his wee-wee.' During an interview with the clinical director of the Prescott House, a child-advocacy center, K.S. stated that Higdon had touched him and had performed oral sex on him on several occasions in the bathroom at Momma's Place."
Yes, rape and oral copulation of a 4-year-old child by a 17-year-old male.
Here again is copy/paste from the ruling.
"A jury convicted Higdon of first-degree sodomy of K.S., a child less than 12 years old, § 13A–6–63(a)(3), Ala.Code 1975, and of first-degree sodomy by forcible compulsion of K.S., § 13A–6–63(a)(1), Ala.Code 1975. Higdon appealed his convictions to the Court of Criminal Appeals. The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed Higdon's conviction for first-degree sodomy of a child less than 12 years old and reversed Higdon's conviction for first-degree sodomy by forcible compulsion, holding that the State had failed to present sufficient evidence of the element of forcible compulsion, and rendered a judgment in Higdon's favor on that charge."
Now, just in the case we're clear about this, the court overturned "reversed Higdon's conviction for first-degree sodomy by forcible compulsion" (meaning they overturned it) based upon the ground that "the State had failed to present sufficient evidence of the element of forcible compulsion." That was the much more serious crime.
Again, from the ruling.
"The State petitioned this Court for a review of the Court of Criminal Appeals' reversal of Higdon's conviction for first-degree sodomy by forcible compulsion,1 requesting that this Court overrule Ex parte J.A.P., which holds that, in a case in which the State must prove forcible compulsion and the offender is a juvenile in a relationship of trust with a child victim, evidence of the element of forcible compulsion cannot be established by an implied threat."
In essence, the State asked the court to review the reversal based upon a previous ruling in law which said that "in a case in which the State must prove forcible compulsion and the offender is a juvenile in a relationship of trust with a child victim, evidence of the element of forcible compulsion cannot be established by an implied threat."
Again THIS IS THE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FACTOR:
"…evidence of the element of forcible compulsion cannot be established by an implied threat."
The State asked the Court to overrule the J.A.P. ruling because it "prohibits the State from proving the element of forcible compulsion through evidence of an implied threat, as defined in § 13A–6–60(8), Ala.Code 1975, in cases in which the defendant is a juvenile in a position of authority over a child victim."
And so on, and so forth… there are numerous cases cited to support the State's claim, all legally valid justifications to OVERTURN the Appellate Court's ruling which tossed out Higdon's second "conviction for first-degree sodomy by forcible compulsion."
The Court noted in it's ruling that "When a defendant who plays an authoritative role in a child's world instructs the child to submit to certain acts, an implied threat of some sort of disciplinary action accompanies the instruction. If the victim is young, inexperienced, and perhaps ignorant of the 'wrongness' of the conduct, the child may submit to acts because the child assumes that the conduct is acceptable or because the child does not have the capacity to refuse."
ALL Justices concurred – STUART, Justice, BOLIN, PARKER, MURDOCK, MAIN, WISE, and BRYAN, JJ., concur. SHAW, J., concurs specially. Thus, the "conviction for first-degree sodomy by forcible compulsion," was upheld.
However, Chief Justice Moore was the solitary dissenter.
He wrote in part that "Because there was no evidence in this case of an implied threat of serious physical injury under this definition, or of an implied threat of death, Higdon cannot be convicted of sodomy in the first degree "by forcible compulsion.""
Again, let's just make 100% certain that we understand this CORRECTLY.
As Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice, Roy Moore in 2015 voted AGAINST convicting a 17-year old who sodomized (performed oral sex upon) a 4-year old child.
Is that the kind of man you want to represent you in Washington, D.C. as a United States Senator?
By the way… in a strange twist of irony, Luther Strange was the Prosecuting Attorney for the State of Alabama when that case was argued before the Alabama Supreme Court.

Mothballs: Damsels In Distress, More (And Less) Than Meets The Eye
November 15, 2013 Vintagecoats	Leave a comment
This Week: The Five Star Stories and Black Magic M-66
The eternal gift of the OVA and short anime film market: the ability to retreat from trying to keep tabs on too many currently airing shows and larger series projects in progress while still having the satisfaction of being able to get to a finale.
The Five Star Stories (Five Star Monogatari)
Despite it being a very well-regarded and still running classic from the 1980's, I have never read the manga for The Five Star Stories. What I do know is that it is a richly defined and lushly complex space opera combining science fiction and fantasy elements with massive attention to world building and a colossal cast of characters and a very distinctive visual flair.
As an outsider to that whole franchise, I thought this film was a really lovely time.
With a universe where folks are wearing everything from draped fabrics, things echoing period aristocracy, more modern business suits, and everything in between, it all looks cohesive and vibrant. A large amount of painstaking work was involved in all the various clothing ripples, wrinkles, and other character detail efforts that help to drive the point of how incredibly ornate everything is. There are a lot of finely drawn billowing strands of hair for instance, and I am both very thankful to the animators for that as I am also so sorry for how many weeks that must have taken to accomplish.
This is all entirely appropriate thematically, as we are focused on civilizations which have forgone the development of weapons of mass destruction. Rather, realizing that annihilation would kind of defeat the point of taking a territory, there are instead things such as the series version of mecha, the Mortar Headds, incredibly detailed and crafted machines that are treated just as much works of art as they are tools of war meant to last years and years, even being passed down to others. And I can dig that aesthetic, particularly in a series of nations and populations over multiple planets. In a film that ranged from conventional desert ground rifle infantry to lightsabers, the Mortar Headds both stand out while also not being the only tool around.
It merged very diverse sets of styles and genre parts together effortlessly, and it was a lot of material to explore and bring up (genetic engineering and grand ball style selection of the Fatima co-pilots, etc) while also not feeling like I was being overburdened as a viewer or merely being drilled exposition at. It has a sweeping scope and is "epic" in a grand and classic style that speaks positively of the breadth of everything it wants to showcase.
The most glaring issue I have with this anime, honestly, is its running time of about one hour. While certainly intended to be an introduction piece to the world, adapting the first manga arc, it is that kind of duration that really makes one desire an additional twenty or thirty minutes of the experience even if they are fully fulfilled when the credits roll. While it certainly did everything it could in the hour to make full use of the time without feeling rushed and I don't feel it cut too many corners, I think having that bit of expanded time for another act or so would be the kind of thing that would have made it a more enduring classic as a piece of anime film or something that could have been leveraged to reach far wider audiences than it did.
At the very least, it is hard to shake a disappointing feeling that such a grand universe that was so fully realized even here did not have even more time to shine as a piece of animation.
A little three quarters of an hour OVA based on the first manga released by Masamune Shirow, and probably most famous as being the only anime of his work he had direct involvement in.
Have you seen The Terminator? Predator? Or any number of other 1980's action films from that very particular style of media zeitgeist?
Then you have essentially seen anything Black Magic M-66 has to offer.
But I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing.
The two M-66 units move around very fluidly during their action sequences. They leg sweep, crab walk, and otherwise contort and conform themselves very proficiently, and in their jerkier moments they give off that sense of falling into that Uncanny Valley territory that honestly makes them more believable as machines.
Going along with that, as we are presented with two escaped M-66 units, having the "expendable" one of them be defeated by the military early on allows us to see the full range of their capabilities (anti-personnel shrapnel launching, poison gas, etc) and is a rather simple but effective narrative choice. It shows us everything they can do, so it avoids the potential issue of the viewer feeling like new features were just being pulled out of thin air come the later stages. It keeps the threat, well, threatening as the film transitions into the sections where they hunt and pursue their target.
The characters are not anything interesting to write home about. Sybel as our leading lady is a Tough Cookie Reporter who wears a bandana and is prone to swearing. Her partner Leakey is the more sniveling and scared variety of stock colleague. The Major is… only known as Major. The scientist character who made the M-66's? He has those zany mad professor swirly lines in his glasses lenses. It's that kind of character writing. Nothing interesting and you've seen it all before, they are here to go through their motions, rather than be complex individuals.
But to its credit, it also is not doing much in the way of any grandstanding or Trying To Deliver A Deep Message either. It's very standard, "my first manga turned into my first anime" kind of material, where one is more prone to working off of more baseline and less intricate tropes.
And I think that's fine. Average and forgettable in large parts sure, but it has some nice bits and otherwise doesn't outright faceplant into the dirt by reaching beyond its capabilities. Which is a lot better than others manage. It just wants to be an easy to watch action flick.
There are robots. The robots escape. Military guys fight robots in the forest. Robots have a target. Only the intrepid reporter mixed up in all this can save them. Chase scenes and large scale metropolitan property damage ensue. '80's music. Cyberpunk.
It doesn't hurt, and you can switch on a lot worse with dinner after a busy day.
Mothballs is a weekly write-up of already completed anime series I have either removed from my backlog or have recently revisited. A crash space for my immediate thoughts and personal processing, these are not intended as full reviews.

At 30, Liam Russell has been writing and performing for more than half his life. His childhood was spent backstage at folk festivals with his dad (singer-songwriter Brent Titcomb) where he was deeply influenced by the commitment to craftsmanship and the dedicated way his father's generation lived and breathed their art.
Liam signed to a major label at age 15, touring and performing steadily thereafter. After a decade on the road honing his live skills and trying to satisfy the competing demands of a label, management and fans, he realized he was in danger of losing sight of the reason he had chosen to be a musician in the first place. In need of a change, he moved to Nashville to focus on writing for others. As time went on though, the desire to make another recording of his own slowly asserted itself.
Five years later the result is No Contest, an EP where for the first time Liam didn't work with the "right" writers, producers or team. No Contest is a collection of simple, heartfelt songs about people and ideas that inspired him to break free of his own expectations. To mark this new chapter and in honor of his grandfather, Mel Russell who passed away in 2016, he changed his last name to Russell.
The self-produced EP was recorded live off the floor at a cottage in the Ontario winter wilderness with 5 of his best friends and musical collaborators. Their only obligation was to do what felt right in the moment, and the result is an honest batch of songs drawn from real-life events. No Contest reveals itself through stories of loss, reconnection to one's spirit, love in long term-relationships and the inspiration of the #MeToo movement. The EP will be released in June, 2018.

Don't! That's only for salads or desserts!
This is very nice cover work for Everett and Olga Webber's U.S. Civil War novel Bound Girl. The art is by Sam Cherry, one of the best. After a 1949 hardback debut the book came out as this Popular Library paperback in 1950. The bound girl of the novel is an indentured servant living on the Kansas-Missouri border who experiences both war and various romantic ups and downs. Possibly her love problems stem from bad manners. After all, who'd want to date someone who doesn't even know that a three prong fork isn't for meat courses?


An illustration of a raccoon skull, jaw opened and closed, to show the detail of its shape and extension of the jaw. I used Prismacolor colored pencils for the soft gradual color changes in bone, and a bit of micron pen for the sharper edges it also has. This was created from a reference skull that I own, which allowed me to investigate all its detail to convey that in my illustration. I created this piece to really study the texture and light of bone.

There is a school of thought called the Bourdieu school of thought. The Bourdieu school of thought is often found in France. It is a school of thought that argues that in the history of human civilization we have all been socialized to think that our actions are defined by the social situation we are in.
The Bourdieu school of thought is often found in France, but I think it tends to lean more towards the'socially constructed' school of thought. In that you can't really make sense of your actions without taking into account how you were brought up, how you were raised, and the circumstances in which you were raised.
The only thing that gives me the best sense of the Bourdieu school of thought is that the school of thought is about individuals. When I was a teenager I thought that we were all just a bunch of kids, and that wasn't true. But I think the Bourdieu school of thought has a lot to do with that. It's the concept of "the individual who lives in this world.
Bourdieu, in his writings, talks about the idea of a person who believes in themselves and is an "ideal" human being. This is not the same as thinking yourself a hero, or believing that you yourself are special. It is the concept of your own individuality, and the idea of the individual who is "good".
I'm sure its hard to be a hero when your entire life has been spent in a small town, living in a house with your mom, and everyone else has a totally different idea of what a hero is, and you're the only one who has ever seen your mom. And you're also not a hero, because you're the only one who ever saw your mom. So to be a hero you need to be special.
It is the concept of your own individuality that is the theme of Pierre Bourdieu, a new French film that looks like it will be as powerful a film for its message as The Artist was. Bourdieu is the French mathematician who wrote down his theories in a diary. As a result, his work has been so influential that it has been used as the basis for many of the most popular and long-lived educational programs in the world.
The point is that the movie is based on the idea of a new reality where you can make certain decisions and things and things that can be done without the actual person. This is not a "furry idea" but rather a way of thinking about how certain things are to be done. It's like a film made for a new audience and then filmed at home.
The point is that the game's new audience will not be able to pay attention to the game's new reality, but rather to the game's people who were raised by this game and are now fully immersed in it. It's a real thing, and the new audience will be able to see it and feel it. When I say new audience, I mean people who aren't familiar with the game's mechanics.
The problem with the old-fashioned way of thinking is that it's hard to understand what the old way really means. The game mechanics are different from the old way. So if you can't understand the mechanics they don't support. And you can't understand the game mechanics because you're just taking it a bit too personally.
I was once thinking that I could understand the game mechanics because I had the knowledge. I still think I could understand it, but I can't see a way to do it. I only understand the mechanics because I had the knowledge. But as a new player I have to learn all the game mechanics. I have to read about the game mechanics. So it becomes a game mechanic that I have to understand. I have to read the game mechanics to get the gameplay that I need.

Putin Urges Armenia, Azerbaijan to Ease Tensions in Rare Meeting
Russian President Vladimir Putin Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev. Mikhail Klimentyev / TASS
Russian President Vladimir Putin urged Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev to ease tensions and resolve disputes left over from last year's war over Nagorno-Karabakh.
Putin gathered the leaders for a rare face-to-face meeting in the Black Sea resort of Sochi after a flare-up in fighting on the border between the two countries earlier this month.
"We were part of a united state for centuries, we have deep historical links," Putin told the pair after holding separate talks with each of them.
"We should aim to rebuild them and nurture them in the future," he said.
He urged the pair — who last met in January — to have more direct contacts.
"The more contacts, including direct ones, the better," Putin said.
After Military Defeat, What's Next for Nagorno-Karabakh?
Putin welcomed the foes' planned meeting in Brussels on Dec. 15, saying he had discussed the matter with European Council President Charles Michel.
The trio met less than two weeks after the worst fighting between the ex-Soviet Caucasus republics since their six-week war last year that claimed more than 6,500 lives.
Putin said it was positive that the clashes — which killed six Armenian troops and seven Azerbaijani soldiers — did not turn into "large-scale" war.
The meeting was timed to coincide with the anniversary of a Moscow-brokered ceasefire that ended last year's conflict.
The leaders discussed demarcation issues between the two Caucasus countries as Yerevan accuses Baku's forces of intruding into its sovereignty territory.
"We are ready to start working on the delimitation and on the peace treaty as a matter of urgency to learn how to live as neighbours again," Aliyev said.
Pashinyan said Armenia is "also ready to start the delimitation and demarcations of borders."
He said Putin and Russian peacekeepers "play a key role in the stabilisation of the region."
The leaders also addressed the issue of rebuilding Soviet-era transport links between Azerbaijan and Armenia which are currently closed by a mutual blockade.
"Everyone — including Russia as a neighbour — is interested in establishing the (transport) links," Putin said.
Baku and Ankara have pressed actively for the reopening of a historic land link uniting Azerbaijan with its exclave of Nakhichevan and further on to Turkey via Armenia's Syunik province, as stipulated in last November's ceasefire agreement.
Russia has supported plans to reopen land communications but shares Armenia's rejection of the corridor.
On Friday, Azerbaijan handed over to Yerevan two Armenians — a soldier and a civilian — who were detained after last year's ceasefire, Baku said.

EUROPE - EU Electronic Travel Information and Authorization System - AVE EUROPE - EUROPE eTA
ETIAS Highlights
Who needs?
ETIAS requirements
ETIAS Application Guidelines
ETIAS country
Ireland ETIAS - Visa waiver for Ireland
The proposed ETIAS system will probably apply only to Schengen countries. It will therefore not apply to Ireland unless Ireland joins Schengen before ETIAS (which means the Travel Information Authorization System) is officially deployed at the beginning of 2020., but essentially Ireland controls who enters the country who is not a citizen of the EU, but there is freedom of movement for all EU citizens between Ireland and other EU countries. All details of ETIAS have not been finalized yet, so the situation could change by 2020. Note that the information here is only for the Republic of Ireland, not for Northern Ireland, which is part of from Great Britain.
Is Ireland part of Schengen or the EU?
The Republic of Ireland, also called Eire, is not part of the Schengen zone, but is part of the EU. In fact, Ireland is only one of the few EU countries that has not joined Schengen. This makes it a bit confusing for many people, many Europeans included! The Schengen Agreement is designed to provide uniform border rules for all countries in the zone. Once you have been allowed to enter a Schengen country, you can travel to any of the other countries, provided you do not exceed the maximum stay of 90 days in the whole area.
The main reason why some countries have not or have not yet joined Schengen is that they want to control in their own way the immigration status of non-European citizens rather than having the same rules as the rest of the world. 'Europe.
What are the main attractions of Ireland?
They are many and varied! Ireland, especially the south is a very popular attraction. For many North Americans, Australians and New Zealanders, it's a chance to find their roots. For every visitor, there is something for everyone on Emerald Isle, from kissing Blarney Stone, to dining Murphy or Guinness in a traditional Irish pub to visiting the beautiful Irish countryside and the coast.
It may surprise the average visitor how Ireland is deserted. This is what makes a trip to the country so rewarding. The complex and sometimes troubling past of Ireland is omnipresent for the budding historian. Major attractions include the Cliffs of Moher, County Donegal with its jagged coastline and quaint villages and Kilkenny, the former capital just off Dublin.
I am a little confused! will I need an ETIAS Ireland visa waiver?
If you have a passport from one of the EU countries, the answer is no. If you do not hold an EU passport, it seems unlikely that you will need it either, but it could be premature. Ireland could decide to join Schengen or decide to use the ETIAS system after considering the possible benefits of prior checking of visitors.
If you have been to Ireland before you remember what you had to do or not do before you arrived in the country. Some people may need to obtain an Irish visa in advance and if this applies to you, it is unlikely to change. If you can come to Ireland right now and get your passport, chances are it will continue. Keep an eye on the rules as 2020 approaches! Also, do not hesitate to take the

Le Concours (The Graduation)
London Film Festival 2016: Le Concours (The Graduation) | Review
Oliver Johnston
Le Concours (The Graduation) sets out to show the inner workings of the respected Paris-based film school La Fémis, and director Claire Simon's interesting documentary does exactly what it says on the tin. The opening scenes are reminiscent of watching footage from a surveillance camera, but Simon's observational style quickly asserts itself as the day-to-day life of La Fémis gently unfolds. While undeniably gripping in its own amiable way, the movie is likely to be of great interest to cinephiles with a love of French cinema. The prestigious school has produced such filmmakers as François Ozon, André Téchiné, Costa Gavras, Christophe Gans and Louis Malle amongst others.
Simon is a practitioner of direct cinema, which is highly non-interventionist by definition; her camera observes with no agenda, simply aiming to capture the truthfulness of the situation. It could be argued that the mere presence of a filmmaker and their camera will affect what the audience sees and how it is played out, although without necessarily affecting the outcome of the given situation. Simon has a distinct advantage in recording the happenings at La Fémis in this respect. Her past as a member of the teaching staff at the school means that her presence is simply that of a co-worker or teacher sitting in on various events at the school, and being a school of filmmaking, it's not as though anyone involved would be overly interested in the existence of a camera capturing them during an unguarded moment.
It's heartening that La Concours (The Graduation) is able to aptly convey the passion and ambition of the prospective students in such an understated manner. There are no histrionics to be seen, despite the highly competitive entrance process for La Fémis. There are merely hints of earnest and anxious demeanours amongst some of the students. Simon's documentary is restrained, slow-burning and extremely absorbing.
Le Concours (The Graduation) does not have a UK release date yet.

Proposed revocation of Jones Act rulings for the offshore industry
By Michael Hansen @ 10:10 PM :: 2708 Views :: Jones Act
by Michael Hansen, Hawaii Shippers Council, April 28, 2017
There has been a flurry of news articles regarding the proposed revocation of nine (9) Customs rulings regarding the application of Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 as amended -- commonly known as the Jones Act -- to the offshore oil and gas industry. Section 27 is the cabotage section of the Act that regulates the domestic transportation of merchandise by water.
Revocation of the rulings would close a loophole that allows the use of non-Jones Act eligible vessels to support the offshore industry.
Around the year 1800, the term "cabotage" came into use in French meaning domestic waterborne transportation and the legal right to engage in that activity. Since then, the concept of cabotage has spread worldwide and applied to the regulation of other modes of transportation including aviation, railroads and road trucking (motor carriers).
Jones Act cabotage requires vessels be U.S. Flag, U.S. built, U.S. crewed, U.S. owned and U.S. managed to engage in domestic waterborne transportation and other marine services.
The offshore oil and gas industry extracts hydrocarbon resources by drilling in water on the continental and outer continental shelves. For the U.S., this is primarily in the Gulf of Mexico and to a much lesser extent the Los Angeles Basin, California.
The drill rigs and production platforms engaged in the extraction activities are serviced by a variety of different kinds of vessels that can be generally characterized as "Offshore Supply Vessels" and "Offshore Service Vessels" (OSV)'s. These vessels carry personnel and supplies between the shore and the rigs and platforms and perform other services.
The U.S. Bureau of the Customs (1927 – 1973) and later the U.S. Customs Service (1973 – 2002) have traditionally enforced U.S. maritime cabotage laws and regulations known formally in U.S. jurisprudence as the "coastwise laws of the U.S." and informally as the Jones Act. Affected persons (including corporations) can request, in the form of a letter, a Customs ruling regarding "any transaction affected by those laws to fully understand the consequences of that transaction prior to its consummation." In response, Customs "will give full and careful consideration to written requests for rulings or information setting forth, with respect to a specifically described transaction, a definitive interpretation of applicable law, or other appropriate information." Custom's decisions are issued in the form of "ruling letter."
Prior to the enactment of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and establishment of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on November 25, 2002, these rulings were made by the Carrier's Ruling Branch, U.S. Customs Service, U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the decisions issued in the Treasury Decision (T.D.) series. After formation of DHS, these rulings have been issued by Cargo Security, Carriers, and Restricted Merchandise Branch, Office of International Trade, Regulations and Rulings, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, DHS.
The continental and outer continental shelves are by statute embraced by the coastwise laws of the U.S. and therefore "Jones Act" cabotage applies to the movement of passengers and merchandise – the legal term for cargo and goods -- between points on the U.S. coast and the offshore drill rigs and production platforms.
The nine Customs rulings, which are currently proposed for revocation, were issued between 1976 and 2002 and are in regards to what is known as "vessel equipment" carried on board non-Jones Act eligible OSV's between coastwise points on the shores and on the continental and outer continental shelves of the U.S.
The coastwise laws distinguish between "vessel equipment" and "merchandise" exempting the former from Jones Act cabotage. As such, non-Jones Act eligible vessels are allowed to carry equipment between points in the U.S. The U.S. Customs Service's Carrier's Ruling Branch issued the nine ruling letters that liberally interpreted the vessel equipment exemption in respect of the offshore industry allowing the fairly widespread use of foreign-built and foreign flag vessels.
These liberal interpretations have been called in to question by the U.S. maritime industry who wish to have Customs adopt a stricter understanding that would exclude foreign-built and foreign flag vessels from operating in the U.S. offshore industry and result in more work for Jones Act operators, their vessels, crews and ancillary businesses. The organizations advocating for a stricter interpretation include the American Waterway Operators (AWO), the Offshore Marine Service Association, the American Maritime Partnership (formerly the Maritime Cabotage Task Force), and the several U.S. maritime unions.
On the other side of the issue are the offshore oil and gas producers largely represented by their trade association, the American Petroleum Institute (API). They will have to pay higher costs for Jones Act vessels, which will be required by Customs adopting a stricter interpretation of rules applicable to vessel equipment in the offshore industry. The API claims this will restrict oil and gas exploration and production and cause domestic energy prices to rise.
CBP issued their general notice of "proposed modification and revocation of ruling letters relating to Customs application of the Jones Act to the transportation of certain merchandise and equipment between coastwise points" on January 10, 2017, requesting comments to be submitted by February 17, 2017. On February 8, 2017, CBP issued an extension for submission of comments until April 18, 2017.
CBP has not stated publically when they will issue their final decision in this matter. However, from CBP's general notice, it's clear their inclination is to revoke the prior ruling letters, substantially changing the application of Jones Act cabotage to the offshore industry, and excluding the foreign-built and foreign flag OSV's currently employed there.
Key excerpts:
Proposed Modification of HQ 101925 (Oct. 7, 1976)
Headquarters ruling letter ("HQ") 101925 (Attachment A) was issued to a Texas marine construction company and was published in the Treasury Decisions (T.D.) at 78–387. The decision was issued based on facts provided by the company regarding their proposed use of a foreign-built barge. Many of the holdings in HQ 101925 are no longer applicable due to amendments made to 46 U.S.C. § 55102 (formerly 46 U.S.C. App. 883), the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, 1 and 19 C.F.R. § 4.80b(a), resulting in less consistency with 46 U.S.C. § 55102. Accordingly, we are resolving these issues by proposing to modify HQ 101925 to the extent the transactions that were the subject of HQ 101925 are still ongoing.
Further, pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 1625(c)(2), CBP intends by this notice to revoke or modify any treatment previously accorded by CBP to substantially identical transactions.
Vessel Equipment
Based on our research, the definition of vessel equipment that CBP has used in its coastwise trade rulings, has been based, in part, on T.D. 49815(4) (Mar. 13, 1939) which interprets § 309 of the Tariff Act of 1930, codified at 19 U.S.C. § 1309. Section 1309 provides for the duty-free withdrawal of supplies and equipment for certain vessels and aircraft. The term "equipment", as used in section 309, as amended, includes portable articles necessary and appropriate for the navigation, operation or maintenance of the vessel and for the comfort and safety of the persons on board. It does not comprehend consumable supplies either for the vessel and its appurtenances or for the passengers and the crew. The following articles, for example, have been held to constitute equipment: rope, sail, table linens, bedding, china, table silverware, cutlery, bolts and nuts. T.D. 49815(4) (Mar. 13, 1939) (emphasis added). CBP has been applying the aforementioned definition of equipment to rulings involving the transportation of merchandise under 46 U.S.C. § 55102 and the predecessor statute, 46 U.S.C. App. 883, since 1982.
Further, pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 1625(c)(2), CBP proposes by this notice to revoke or modify any treatment previously accorded by CBP to substantially identical transactions.CBP proposes to modify the following rulings to the extent they are contrary to the guidance set forth in this notice and to the extent that the transactions are past and concluded, because although the holdings and rationale are correct, they cite to rulings that CBP is proposing to revoke.
Offshore industry's response to Customs regarding proposed revocation of Jones Act rulings.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) and nine other trade associations involved in the U.S. offshore industry responded on April 18, 2017, to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)'s "Proposed Modification and Revocation of Ruling Letters Relating to Customs Application of the Jones Act to the Transportation of Certain Merchandise and Equipment Between Coastwise Points," 51 Customs Bulletin 3 at 1 (Jan. 18, 2017) (the "2017 Notice").
The offshore industry's response is the form of a 49-page letter and two substantive attachments offering a complete and very informative response to CBP.

Proposed modification and revocation of Ruling letters relating to Customs application of the Jones Act to the transportation of certain merchandise and equipment between coastwise points

CALASH
Key excerpts from the letter:
The Trade Associations (Trades) represent companies involved in all aspects of the oil and natural gas industry including all aspects of the exploration, development and production of offshore oil and natural gas resources as well as emergency response. The member companies are active as owners and operators of offshore leases, as companies involved in the development and maintenance of offshore infrastructure and as service and supply companies that perform a wide variety of work in offshore areas. These Trades have a direct and substantial interest in any and every U.S. Customs and Border Protection ruling that affects oil and natural gas operations in U.S. offshore areas.
The 2017 Notice revokes or substantially revises 40 years of Jones Act rulings heavily relied upon by the oil and natural gas community and affecting many facets of offshore oil and natural gas production. That reliance has been both substantial and reasonable given that the rulings were long-standing and consistent, and CBP withdrew the 2009 Notice thereby validating those rulings. By law, CBP cannot reverse long-standing, heavily relied upon precedents without a legally sufficient basis. The 2017 Notice lacks that basis as the 25 affected rulings are actually consistent with law8 and the basis advanced by CBP in the 2017 Notice is not rational.
The rulings CBP has proposed to revoke or substantially modify in the 2017 Notice are consistent with existing law – both with the Jones Act statute and with CBP's 1939 definition of "vessel equipment" as not being "merchandise" under the law. Therefore, there is no reasoned basis for altering those rulings.
The Jones Act itself applies to transportation "between points in the United States." The issue presented for places outside U.S. territorial waters is whether any of those places is a "point in the United States." Based on the words of the Jones Act as codified and the statutory definition of the "United States" alone, the Jones Act would not apply outside U.S. territorial waters.
The 2017 Notice is a measure that increases the reservation of activities in U.S. waters to U.S.-built vessels and therefore it "decreases the conformity" of the Jones Act with the GATT 1994 grandfather provision. As such, the 2017 Notice endangers the Jones Act's U.S. build requirement, which will be open to challenge by other GATT 1994 signatories if the 2017 Notice goes into effect.
The 2017 Notice should be withdrawn and, if CBP continues to believe that changes are justified, CBP should adhere to well-established legal and administrative precedent and commence a regulatory process to ensure that all interests have an equitable opportunity to participate to ensure that the full effects of the proposed action are analyzed and understood under long-standing, applicable Executive Orders, statutes, and other regulatory guidance.

Free Bandwidth Monitoring for Windows Vista and Seven (64bit) Bandwidth Monitoring Tool for Windows Vista and Seven – MillionClues!
I was using the Free Bandwidth Monitor on my Windows XP PC, but once I switched to Vista (64 bit), the 32 bit software ceased to work.
Free Bandwidth Monitor was simple and efficient; after trying out many other softwares, I am now happy with NetWorx – A free, simple, Bandwidth Monitoring and Analysis Tool.
NetWorx does its job fairly well. Reports can be seen on last 24 hours, daily, weekly, monthly and Total. It can also show you custom reports within the dates you specify.
Here is a screen-shot of NetWorx, for more screen-shots click the image.
NetWorx stays as a button near the clock, additional features can be accessed by right click-ing the icon. Its that simple.
Download NetWorx Free – Look to the right sidebar for the download link. In case you need, detailed online help is available here.
Big surprise. Million clues completely turns white from being black.
I also did use Bitmeter for BW monitoring which presents data in graphs when I used to have a limited plan. But I don't need them any more.
I had opted for the 64 bit OS, our processor is 64 bit rt? Then why not go for a 64 bit OS?
Perfect! The one, I've been looking for!
I use dw meter for this. It is also a good one i think. Finally you too changed the theme. A complete change! The theme is jet fast. Good Luck Bro.
I recommend Net Meter to my clients usually. But i must try this one too… This looks so simple and great.
Thanks for the recommendation @Arun.
Cool! great find bro! thanks! i always use a tool like this in linux!


Yes, after more than a year of working on it off and on, I finally took the plunge and put our time travel anthology, Forbidden Future, on Amazon. Now the real work begins. At least for me. Though I've banged my head a few times, mostly because of my own disorganization, most of the work has been done by other people, and although there is still some work to be done by others, a lot of what happens next will be up to me.
That may sound strange, but it's true. I don't really want any of my contacts to buy it right now.
If you want to support us financially by buying a copy, there will be a time to do so, a time when your purchase will have more power than it does right now. Sure, we'll make a few dollars from it. Start racking up some royalties for the authors and editors, but it would be a single purchase that wouldn't have much effect on anyone else.
There is a strategy to selling books on Amazon. Now, I can't say that I will do everything correctly. There will be some trial and error, but the point is right now is that I want you to wait to support us until a time when your purchase will take place alongside others who are purchasing.
The power of the group is the only way to be noticed on Amazon.
Reviews are the biggest thing we need before we start encouraging our family, friends, and other online contacts to start buying copies. Despite the fake review scandal that continues to rage, having a large quantity of book reviews will help encourage casual browsers to check us out and maybe give us a try.
If a book hasn't been reviewed, why should anyone buy it?
In other words, reviews still hold a lot of klout. Hard to be a best selling author (or publisher) without them.
So, what we need right now is readers. And reviews. So, if you want a copy, it's yours. No charge. Please review it.
If you choose to buy it later to support us, all the better.
Do you see your Twitter handle?
The form at the bottom of this post is the same one I used at the beginning of the summer, the last time I asked for interested parties to review our book. I checked my email, and I don't think I followed up with any of the few who signed up.
Anyway, if you see your Twitter handle in the following list, you are already on my contact list and should be hearing from me soonish. No need to sign up again. Unless you just want to receive two emails. Just kidding.

FDA approves new treatment for rare hereditary disease
[8/23/2018] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Takhzyro (lanadelumab), the first monoclonal antibody approved in the U.S. to treat patients 12 years and older with types I and II hereditary angioedema (HAE). HAE is a rare and serious genetic disease that affects people with low levels of and poorly functioning C1-INH proteins in the body. This results in recurrent, unpredictable episodes of severe swelling in different areas of the body, including the stomach, limbs, face and throat.
Takhzyro is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor that is used to prevent swelling attacks from occurring. Takhzyro is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody made in recombinant Chinese Hamster Ovary cells. This approval gives patients and healthcare professionals an additional treatment option.
HAE affects an estimated 1 in 50,000 men and women. Type I is the most common, and accounts for 85 percent of cases. Symptoms of HAE typically begin in childhood and worsen following puberty. Some patients may have many attacks each month, while others will go months without an attack.
FDA based its approval on data from a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study in 125 patients with HAE. Patients who received Takhzyro had clinically meaningful and statistically significant reductions in the rate of investigator-confirmed HAE attacks compared to placebo over a 6-month treatment period.
The most common adverse drug reactions in patients taking Takhzyro in clinical trials are injection site reactions, upper respiratory infections, headache, rash, muscle pain, dizziness and diarrhea.
The FDA granted this application Priority Review and Breakthrough Therapy designation. Takhzyro also received Orphan Drug designation, which provides incentives to assist and encourage the development of drugs for rare diseases.
