Wooden Cutting Boards and Spoons from Two Tree Studios
HandmadeIssue 19 — In Praise of Timber
Meredith Swinehart May 8, 2018
Allison Samuels, founder of Two Tree Studios woodworking and furniture atelier in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, majored in fiber arts before finding her calling in wood. After art school, she traveled up and down the East Coast and in her wanders decided that cabinetry and wood carving would be her future. She returned to New York, where she grew up "surrounded by lush forests and rock-filled rivers," which later inspired her to create "simple, nature-based design, with a strong interest in preserving natural resources," she says.
Two Tree makes wood cutting boards, kitchen utensils, and shelving, plus experimental and custom cabinetry and furniture. We're fond of her small objects, which are carved and sanded by hand and finished with eco-friendly, food-safe waxes and oils (bonus points: Two Tree's cutting boards and utensils are stocked, so they'll ship within two to four business days).

Above: The Big Wilson board is made of solid walnut with a long, integrated handle, and an arced bottom edge. It's 21 inches long, 9 inches wide, and 0.75-inch thick; $230.
Two Tree has made a commitment to environmental sustainability, which includes "continual research to source the most earth-friendly materials possible."
Above: The Honey board has a rectangular body of solid maple wood with slightly rounded corners and a four-inch handle with hanging hole. It's 8 inches tall by 6.5 inches wide and 0.75-inch thick; $75.
To keep the wood in top condition, Two Tree recommends storing your cutting board with airflow on all sides (standing up on the countertop or hanging from the hole provided).
Above: Solare is made of solid walnut with a slightly curved rectangular body and an integrated hole for hanging. It's 10 inches tall by 8 inches wide and 0.75-inch thick; $75.
In the FAQ section of the company's website, Two Tree poses the question: "Will my board look just like the picture?" The answer: "Nope, it won't! That's the beauty of working with a natural material." Each piece of lumber has its own color and grain pattern, and the hand-carving process ensures that each product is unique.
Above: The hand-carved Spatula has a shallow bowl and a long, thin handle, which is "mostly straight, with expected wonky bits," Allison says. Different woods and sizes are available; the handle on these walnut versions is about 16 inches long with a spatula head about 4 to 5 inches long and 3 inches wide; $80.
Above: The Long-Stemmed Double Teaspoon is perfect as a kitchen tasting spoon, to sample soups and sauces before adjusting to taste. The handle is about 16 inches to 18 inches long, with a spoon (roughly teaspoon-sized) at each end. It's finished with walnut oil to withstand high-heat cooking; $80.
Above: The Shelf & Brackets set comes in walnut or whitened ash wood, with brass screws and the appropriate drive bit included for easy mounting. Both the brackets and shelf are made by hand with beveled edges on all edges (save for the mounting face) and finished with a mix of oil and wax. The shelf is 30 inches long and 8 inches deep; it's currently on sale for $140 (down from $160).

Hello Hi I'm on The Malay Mail!
A couple weeks ago I got an SMS from Ellfian asking if I was interested in appearing on the Malay Mail in a feature story, to which I of course answered with a yes.
Fast forward a week or so later, here's the article that appeared over the weekends will be on The Malay Mail Oct 11, 2013. My partner in crime was Kelly Siew, who writes about food & cooks too.
Thanks to Datuk Wong for sending me the PDF file of which the screenshot above was taken.
In an unrelated story, I got my hands on another unit of Nescafe Dolce Gusto Genio machine. This was because my previous unit has since been hijacked by Haze to her office, and there was no chance I'll ever lay my hands on it again as everyone in the office loved it!
If you're not familiar with this, it's a little coffee machine that can power up and make quite a few different types of coffee/tea/and chocochino drinks in mere minutes, without getting our hands dirty, and hardly needs a rinse there after. One of the most convenience and economical ways to a cup of good espresso based coffee at home.
Read my previous post (with a video) on the machine if you want to find out more about it.
fancy a trip to Tokyo? you can win it!
By the way, there's a contest where you can design the Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine and finalists (2 from Malaysia) will win a trip to Tokyo, all expense paid, including a partner too.
You can find out more about the contest on Dolce Gusto Malaysia FB page. I'm going to convince Haze to participate!
When our office first moved to The Intermark, I was quite a bit bummed. Yah, the office was way modern and wonderful, with sophisticated elevator system that only comes with open, close, and emergency buttons (everything else is via tag and touch screen outside the elevator), but compared to Bukit Bintang where there are plenty of awesome food, where should I eat?
That's where Jaya Grocer comes in, and I'm just glad that they opened up for business just a couple weeks after we moved in.
Jaya Grocer is located at the basement of Intermark's main building, directly under Double Tree by Hilton hotel. It is the first Jaya Grocer in KL city, and directly managed by the 3rd generation descendent of the original Jaya Grocer. In a way, that makes this outlet slightly different from the others in PJ, but in a good way.
The outlet carries a lot of premium brands directly imported from overseas. If you want to spend over RM 150 on a small box of grapes (specifically Muscat of Alexandria or Kyoho grapes from Japan) or almost RM 200 on some Japanese green melon, you can.
There's also a huge selection of organic produce, a whole section that sells various types of cheese, frozen smoked duck breasts, imported canned tuna/salmon, and many other "exotic" stuff you don't normally see.
If you're a fan of alcoholic drinks, you'll find the selection of liquor, wine, and beer at Intermark's Jaya Grocer as one of the more complete ones in the country. There's a wine dispenser for tasting, many different types of imported beer, wine from several regions, and even "mythical" brands of hard liquor such as Absinthe – blue fairy with 53% alcohol and the green version with a whopping 68% alcohol. Probably good enough to use as antiseptic.
Other than that, there's also a section that sells liquor in sort of an ala-carte basis. Various types of cognac, rum, and even single malt whisky sold in flasks of 200 ml or more. If you want premium liquor in small doses, such as the Scotch Highland Single Malt Whisky (29 years old, 43% Vol. Teaninich Distillery), it'll be RM 186/200 ml. Other fancier liquers include those with tiramisu, latte macchiato, mango, and passion fruit flavors. You even get to have a taste test before purchase.
Like the outlet at Empire Mall, El Fresco is presence here as well. Purchase your beef/salmon and they'll cook it for free provided you purchase a side dish (RM 7.90 or so). There's Wagyu, Angus, and more.
However, other than Fresco, Jaya Grocer at Intermark also operates a non-halal food court right next to the supermarket. On this session we sampled a few dishes from each of the three operating stalls (with 1-2 more to open soon).
Hamky Panky has juicy, tasty sandwich (RM 13.80) in the menu. First you choose your bread, then the fillings (English ham, turkey, black forest, roast beef, roast lamb, roast pork, pork patty etc), then pick any add ons, and finally choose the sauce of your choice. We tried the roast pork and roast lamb sandwich, did not disappoint. I even packed the leftover lamb sandwich for breakfast the next day.
Lam's Kitchen serves roast pork, bbq pork, roast chicken, roast duck, and more. Their menu is pretty extensive but mostly involves rice or noodle with the previously mentioned meat. We tried their bbq pork, roast pork, and roast duck. I love the roast duck and roast pork, and think that their bbq pork (chasiu) is average. I do like their chilly sauce and oily rice though.
The third and final stall we tried was the Sun Huat Kee pork ball noodle, originally from Lucky Garden at Bangsar. Since we're having a lot of other dishes, we ended up only sampling the pork balls in soup, which tasted pretty good to me. I'll have to try the dish one of these days, tho I believe I've had the Bangsar version a few years ago and liked it.


Almost three years ago we purchased a pH water machine with all the promises and hopes that we have never seen. When I heard about the NAT system I was very skeptical but wondered how so many people could share the testimonials if they really were not seeing a difference and plants just do not lie. I decided to just go ahead and become a distributor for NAT with the fear of getting drawn into the unknown once again but with hope that it would turn out to do all it was said to do. I was encouraged that so many placed a pre-order for me to be able to get my first order together and became a distributor. As I have a whole house system installed and others now also have theirs installed we are finding we did not have to wait long to know that there is really a difference in this water and that it is really doing the things we were told it would. However it did them so much quicker than we expected.  We know some of the most skeptical people on earth and even they praise the NAT system and the benefits they are seeing so quickly. We have not found one testimonial on the NAT site that has not proven to be true and we are all anxious to get started in our yards and gardens to see the fantastic results that have been shared about that whole experience. We truly look forward to many years of helping others by educating them on Clayton's great products. We are very happy to be a part of the NAW family.
Two weeks ago we purchased a whole house structured water unit and a portable structured water device.  We also took a chance and had our water softener removed and taken away.
Wow!  My wife loves our structured water unit.  She does not miss the water softener at all, her hair is soft and so is her skin.  Another neat thing is for years she had been fighting with a skin condition on her nose that left the bridge of her nose rough and scaly and she had to use a prescription to make it go away, however now in just two weeks her skin condition has gone back to normal and the rough spot is gone. She has also noticed that her skin is looking more youthful.
I have noticed that my mental clarity and energy is much improved.
I know that it is hard for us to get past some of the paradigms that we have grown up in which makes it difficult to believe that something like this can really work.
My wife and I are very pleased with this technology and look forward to exploring more ways to using this technology and benefit from it.
Thank you for developing this.
I got my unit in this week. LOVE IT!!! The water is lighter and softer…even kind of effervescent! I use less soap in washing maching, dishwasher and in the bathroom. I also already notice a change within me…my skin is looking better…dark spots are lightening up, and it's only been 4 days! I just can't thank you enough, Clayton, for your inspired work. The plumber asked about becoming a distributor….do you have that set up?
Hi Clayton:Our new 'Natural Action Technologies device' is producing amazing changes in our water! My skin feels soft and lubricated after bathing. I use less shampoo. Less soap is needed for washing the clothes.
The new water has rejuvenated our plants.
My husband says our water tastes better too; and morning coffee is smooth – no longer bitter. We love the new 'Natural Action Water device' and the new life it has produced in our water.
I tried to call you and I left a message. I've been drinking "the water".
Cindi took a bath in it and she came out with a healthy color and glow. Her skin is like silk. I got jealous and took a bath in it too. Unreal! My legs have been itching and I scratch them until they bleed. After that bath – no itch. Our hair is soft and – it's a real trip! WOW!
Since installing the Home Natural Action Technologies device in my home, there has been a noticeable improvement in several areas. First is the very refreshing smoother taste. Baths and showers are more refreshing and my dry skin condition has improved significantly. Numerous other changes include no lime deposits on the shower heads, cleaner shower walls, and even the commode requires less cleaning.
The swamp cooler is much more efficient, cooling faster and running less with similar temperatures as last year. When I went up on the roof to check it out I found the inside of the cooler clean, just like new.
Further, after a Garden Natural Action Technologies unit was installed in my lawn sprinkler system, the grass is greener and requires less fertilizer.
Over the years, in doing my own research, I read that psoriasis and excema are auto-immune diseases. While that may be true, it is curious to me that during both of my pregnancies, my skin condition cleared up completely only to return after I gave birth.Now that would lead me to believe that the condition is more a cause of hormonal imbalance though I did not realize that at the time. Just like the symptoms of heavy menstrual bleeding and growths in the uterus. Unfortunately, it was not until after I had a hysterectomy did I find this out from my current physician, a naturopath, which CIGNA has recently contracted with.

It's that time of year when homes fill with the sweet smells of pecan pie, families gather together and even Facebook becomes a vehicle for giving thanks. From Thanksgiving through New Years, the world becomes a little warmer and a little fuzzier. Here at Rhyme & Reason, we'd love to think that we are always doling out appreciation and well wishes, but let's be honest, we're human and sometimes that means we get tired, forgetful and wrapped up in the hair-on-fire moments.
Although we still need a few more zzz's and there are a couple embers glowing, we won't sit by our computers and let Thanksgiving pass us by without giving a proper, blog-worthy thanks to the most important people, places and things in our lives.
Don't worry, even though we sometimes live and breathe the social media trends, we won't subject you to 30 days of thanks. Instead, we'll have you feeling the warm fuzzies long before the tryptophan hits.
Our clients, with their daily notes and exclamations of joy, make us smile, make us laugh and make us happy we do what we do.
Courtney Hurt, our art director and first full-time employee, is pretty much amazing (even if she's a Dawg).
Our families and friends, the people who know us and still love us anyway, we should probably thank them every day.
Ignition Alley, our co-working space, brings us elbow-to-elbow with the entrepreneurial spirit of Atlanta.
Victory Sandwich, the Weedeater, the Hambo, the Spicy Ramen, the Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies, so much yummy goodness, you'd wonder why we ever bring our own lunch.
Our technological gadgets, thank you Apple, without them communication is lost.
Our hobbies, biking, riding and running, without them sanity is lost.

Mark Cuban Wants Bitcoin To 'Go Down A Lot Further'
The ongoing bear run has tested the patience of most Bitcoin investors from space. However, it has also given critics a chance to re-cement their bear cases. Prominent Economist Peter Schiff, for instance, tweeted a few hours back that the "smart move" is to sell Bitcoin today.
Not everyone is on the same page as Schiff. American Entrepreneur Mark Cuban recently opined on a Club Random podcast episode that he wanted Bitcoin's price to drop further so that he can fill up his bags. He said,
"I want Bitcoin to go down a lot further so I can buy some more."
It is interesting to note that affordability and accumulation are going on hand in hand for Bitcoin at this stage. As illustrated below, addresses possessing 0-1K coins have accumulated a "lion's share" of coins at the recent market lows. However, the behavior is in contrast with bag holders of the previous cycle tops.

What About Gold?
Irrespective of Cuban's stance, podcast host Bill Maher went on to state that he was "very anti-Bitcoin" and believed in the value of gold. He added that gold "never goes away" and is "like a hedge against everything else." Opining on the same, Cuban said,
"If you have gold, you're dumb as f***… No, but it's not a hedge against anything, right? What it is the stored value and you don't own the physical gold, do you? Gold is a stored value and so is Bitcoin."
He added,
"You don't own the gold bar, and if everything went to hell in a handbasket and you had a gold bar, you know what would happen? Someone would beat the f*** out of you or kill you and take your gold bar."
On the price front, nonetheless, gold's value is currently around the same level [$1800 threshold] where it was at this time last year. Bitcoin's valuation, on the other hand, has dropped by 66.95% over the past year.

Despite the macro turbulence, Cuban said that he still believed in crypto's potential. He said,
"Separate the signal from the noise. There's been a lot of people making a lot of mistakes, but it doesn't change the underlying value."

The best way to do that is by creating habits that will stick for the long term, rather than just making resolutions. If you want to run a marathon, form the habit of running. If you want to write a novel, form the writing habit. If you want to be more mindful, form the habit of meditation.
Of course, that's easier said than done—just form new habits, no problem. If only it were so easy. So in this guide, I'm going to lay out the key steps to forming the habits that will change your life.
Pick a positive habit. I recommend you find new, positive habits to form, rather than starting with quitting a bad habit. If you want to quit eating junk food … focus instead on creating the habit of eating more vegetables. Good positive habits to start with include meditation, reading, writing, exercising, eating vegetables, journaling, and flossing.
One habit at a time. We all have a list of a dozen habits we'd like to change—and all right now! But in my experience, the more habits you do at once, the less likely your chances of success. Even one habit at a time takes focus and energy! Trust me on this: starting one new habit at a time is the best strategy, by far, for any but the best habit masters.
Small steps are successful. People underestimate the importance of small steps. Start small—really small. Meditate for 2 minutes a day the first week (increase by 2-3 minutes a week only if you're consistent the previous week). Start running for 5-10 minutes a day, not 30 minutes. Eat a small serving of vegetables for one meal, don't try to change your entire diet at once. Start as small as you can, and increase only gradually as long as you stay consistent. Small steps allow your mind to adjust gradually and this is the best method by far.
Set up reminders. The thing that trips people up, in the beginning, is remembering to do the habit. Don't let yourself forget! Set up visual reminders around where you want to remember. For example, put reminders in the kitchen for the veggies habit, or a note on your bathroom mirror for flossing. Digital reminders on your phone and calendar are also useful.
Set up accountability. How will you hold yourself to this habit change when you feel like quitting? Accountability. Join a community or small team to hold yourself accountable. You can also join my Sea Change Program for this accountability.
Find reward in the doing. You won't stick to any change for long if you really hate doing it. Instead, find some pleasure in the doing of the habit. For example, if you go running, don't think of it as torture, but as a way to enjoy the outdoors, to feel your body moving, to feel alive. Bring mindfulness to each moment of doing the habit, and find gratitude and joy as you do it. The habit will become a reward, and you'll look forward to this nice oasis of mindfulness.
Review and adjust regularly. I like to review how I did with my habits at the end of each day before I sleep. It helps me get better and better at habits. But at the minimum, review once a week and do a check-in with your accountability team if you have one. Adjust as needed. For example, if you forgot to do the habit, adjust by creating new reminders. If you aren't consistent, maybe set up a challenge with your team so that you pay them $10 each day you miss, for example. Adjusting each week means you'll get better and better at doing this habit. If you fall down, keep coming back.
If you'd like some support in forming these habits, I invite you to join me and more than a thousand others changing one habit at a time in my Sea Change Program online.

Q: VB6 connectivity with oracle on windows 10 I have installed the vb6 and oracle 11 g client(instantclient_11_2) on windows 10.
I created one odbc connection and now trying to connect oracle db but its giving error while connecting the db using vb6 form.

Error :"Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01019"

I am using the connection string like :
sconnstring = "DRIVER={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};SERVER = servername;uid = user id;pwd= password}"

A: When creating the ODBC connection use ODBC 32 ...under windows\sysWow

A: The Microsoft ODBC driver "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" is deprecated for ages, you should not use it anymore.
Download and install the "ODBC Package" from Instant Client Downloads for Microsoft Windows 32-bit, then it should work.

A: instant client for microsoft odbc is not available for Windows-10 operating system.
Then in that case for windows-10 we need to use Oracle ODBC client 12 version for odbc connection.Its working for me.

The 9 Russian Words That Explain KremlinGate
It's International Talk Like a Chekist Day—here's a quick primer on kombinatsiya, konspiratsiya and more
By John R. Schindler • 03/28/17 11:40am
As the Trump administration's Russia problem shows no sign of going away, protesting presidential tweets notwithstanding, it's time to think about it properly. Understanding what the Kremlin's up to helps to see the big picture. This means learning a bit of spy lingo. Espionage, like everything else, has its own culture—including special verbiage—which varies from country to country.
Russia's espionage culture is unique and in key ways markedly different from how Western countries approach the spy-game. It's a product of the Soviet secret police, that brutal and cunning force, and it's no accident that Vladimir Putin's spies proudly call themselves Chekists today to commemorate them—just as they did in the days of the KGB. "There are no 'former' Chekists," as the KGB veteran Putin has stated, and this attitude permeates his Kremlin.
The threat to our democracy posed by Moscow's spy-games won't recede on its own. As Rick Ledgett, NSA's straight-talking deputy director, stated last week, "This is a challenge to the foundations of our democracy." He went on: "How do we counter that?" adding, "What do we do as a nation to make it stop?"
This first thing we must do is gain a reality-based understanding of the SpyWar we're in with Moscow. So, let's walk through a few of the most important Russian espionage terms to shed some light on what's really going on between Washington and the Kremlin.
First, there's provokatsiya (provocation), which is the cornerstone of the Russian espionage worldview. This part of Kremlin spy culture is older than the Bolsheviks, dating to the late Tsarist era, when Russia invented the modern intelligence agency to fight anarchist terrorists.
Provocation is complicated, but at its most basic involves secret acts to confuse and dismay your enemy. The recent antics of Devin Nunes, chair of the House Intelligence Committee—positing conflicting and unsubstantiated allegations of malfeasance by our spy agencies—are a classic provocation designed to divert attention from the White House as its Russia crisis mounts. Regardless of whether anyone in Russia has a hand in this, the Kremlin surely approves.
Provokatsiya gets more complicated and nefarious from there, with the ultimate aim of turning the tables on your enemy and defeating him detail—before he realizes what's happened. As I've explained, this involves a lot of shady stuff such as:
Taking control of your enemies in secret and encouraging them to do things that discredit them and help you. You plant your own agents provocateurs and flip legitimate activists, turning them to your side…While this isn't a particularly nice technique, it works surprisingly well, particularly if you don't care about bloody and messy consequences.
Moscow is alarmingly forward-leaning about provocation, and the Kremlin's traditional devil-may-care attitude about these dirty tricks means it's a safe bet that when you encounter rabid anti-Putin activists, there's a solid chance some of them are secretly working for the Russians.
Next there's konspiratsiya (yes, conspiracy), the Russian term for what we call espionage tradecraft. This is the clandestine nuts and bolts of recruiting and running agents, placing targets under surveillance, running covert action and whatnot. While the word conspiracy has a negative, tinfoil-y connotation in the West—where anything which polite people don't wish to ponder can be brushed off as a "conspiracy theory"—Moscow feels differently.
Russians accept that conspiracies exist because people conspire—and what's more conspiratorial than espionage, the vaunted second-oldest profession? The Kremlin is notably cold-blooded about konspiratsiya, being willing to sacrifice even highly valuable agents when something better comes along. Moscow does not believe in tears, as the saying goes.
A related term is kompromat (compromising material), which is used to coercively recruit people to spy for Russia—and to keep already recruited agents in line. Thanks to the salacious Steele dossier, with its allegations of Moscow possessing not-safe-for-work kompromat on Donald Trump, lots of Americans know this unpleasant term now. The fear of kompromat is almost as potent as the embarrassing photos or videos themselves, as Russians know only too well.
Given the murky finances and messy personal lives of numerous members of Team Trump, it's a safe bet that the Kremlin has its hands on juicy information which, if revealed, would cause problems. That said, there's no reason to think Steele's X-rated assertions are true, nor that Moscow needed kompromat in this operation. President Trump's inner circle seems perfectly willing to parley with Russians, particularly powerful and rich ones, without any hint of coercion.
Dezinformatsiya (disinformation) is another Russian term once known only to espionage mavens but which, thanks to the events of 2016, now falls off the tongue of average citizens. Deza, as it's called for short, is the original "fake news," an alluring amalgam of fact and fantasy—much of it unverifiable—designed to confuse readers and shift political discussions.
Vladimir Putin. Sergei Karpukhin/AFP/Getty Images
Peddling deza is much faster and easier these days, thanks to the Internet and the rise of fringe websites, but there's nothing new about it. It was part of the KGB's Cold War arsenal, when Chekists faked documents and disseminated lies through trusted Western journalists, in order to embarrass the West, especially NATO and the United States. Some of these vintage disinformation fables are still with us, despite being debunked decades ago.
Deza, however, is only one component of what the Russians call aktivniyye meropriyatiya (Active Measures), which is a vital Chekist concept lacking a precise Western equivalent. It roughly aligns with our notion of political warfare, albeit with a highly clandestine side. The bureaucratically bland-sounding KGB definition of Active Measures covers a broad brush of nefarious spy-games:
Agent-operational measures aimed at exerting useful influence on aspects of the political life of a target country which are of interest, its foreign policy, the solution of international problems, misleading the adversary, undermining and weakening his positions, the disruption of his hostile plans, and the achievement of other aims.
The Kremlin's 2016 brazen operation to harm Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump was a classic Active Measure, relying on cyber-espionage to steal emails, then employing a Kremlin front to disseminate them to the world. As I recently explained, this successful spy-game was notable only for its astonishing lack of subtlety, with Putin's special services seeming to want us to know what they were doing.
Overall, however, the on-going Russian clandestine operation to subvert our democracy falls under the rubric of what Chekists call kombinatsiya (combination), meaning the coordinated application of provocation and Active Measures in order to influence political outcomes. Pushing disinformation is perhaps too easy these days, and now the FBI is investigating the Kremlin-to-far-right-websites deza loopwhich has become commonplace in America.
Weaponized lies only get the Russians so far, though, and here's where provokatsiya moves the spy-game further down the field. To pull off provocations, however, Moscow needs operatives, and it's evident that members of Team Trump possess links to Kremlin agents and cut-outs. There's no doubt the FBI is unraveling all that right now in its investigation of KremlinGate.
Fully understanding this complex Russian operational game will take months, maybe years, but Americans should feel confident that the FBI, with help from NSA and other secret agencies, will eventually get to the bottom of the kombinatsiya that Putin has inflicted on our democracy.
What ought to worry anybody caught up in all this is the Russian term mokroye delo (wet affairs, commonly styled as "wetwork" in the West, referring to bloody hands), meaning assassinations. Putin's regime has embraced wetwork in a manner not seen in the Kremlin since Stalin's time. His assassins have taken out defectors and enemies all over the world, including in the West.
The most infamous hit was the notorious polonium-210 murder of the defector Sasha Litvinenko in London in 2006, but several other Russian émigrés on Putin's "enemies list" have met unnatural ends in recent years—to say nothing of the numerous regime opponents who have been murdered in Russia.
Wetwork may even reach the United States, as testified by the brutal and mysterious death of Mikhail Lesin, a former member of Putin's inner circle, in the heart of our nation's capital in late 2015. Moscow coldly disposes of people it no longer needs, who may possess kompromat on the Kremlin. Last week's brazen murder of a Russian dissident politician on the streets of Kyiv, in broad daylight, sends a clear message that Putin will settle scores and tie up loose ends wherever he needs to.

You know what's not going away? Appending "Gate" to any controversy. It's just like the "... on steroids" phrase. I can't tell the source of unoriginality anymore. Is it Americans? Is it the media? Is it all of us?
Russia destabilization efforts have been tremendous thus far, both in Europe and now the State.
Ninjastix, Mar 28, 2017
Here is an interesting thing to think about.
Let's grant that everything played out as writers such as Louise Mensch have speculated.
Let's grant the Steele dossier is 100 percent accurate.
That can allow us to conclude that the current American executive are essentially agents of Russia.
Let's also grant that the White House and congressional republicans are colluding to subvert any investigation, which will lead to political chaos.
What options does that leave Russia?
1. Try to subvert the truth and engage in disinformation to try to blunt the trail.
2. Either directly, or through indirect leaks, take responsibility for everything.
Option 2 is, to me, the final death stroke that Russia has planned. MAD essentially rules out any true potential of armed conflict. Sanctions can't get much worse, especially since how badly the United States' credibility will be undermined internationally. Fewer states will comply with their agenda. The fact will remain that without willing Americans, this couldn't have happened so it isn't wholly Russia's fault. The resulting descent and chaos that will come with Russia releasing payment, transactional, finance, documentary, audio and video records of American politicians and business leaders actively and willingly selling influence to a foreign government will delegitimize the American political and economic system in a way that cannot even really be comprehended.
As soon as everybody sees the sitting president sitting in a corner jerking off while Russian whores piss everywhere:

Is there any doubt in the minds of those who post here that the Russians collaborated with this administration in order to interfere with this past election/do some other highly compromising shit?

The big problem with selling this whole Russia thing to the public isn't going to be establishing that it happened so much as it will be making the public care, since most of the stuff that got leaked against Clinton and the Dems was true (aside from the Spirit Cooking and Pizzagate insanity that some of the kookier conspiracy theorists tried to run with). End of the day, I'm expecting most people (who are already pretty disillusioned with our government and political system in general) to see this as one group of shady people doing shady shit in order to expose another group of shady people doing different shady shit.

Mike Flynn Offers to Testify in Exchange for Immunity
Former national security adviser tells FBI, the House and Senate intelligence committees he's willing to be interviewed in exchange for deal, officials say

WASHINGTON—Mike Flynn, President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, has told the Federal Bureau of Investigation and congressional officials investigating the Trump campaign's potential ties to Russia that he is willing to be interviewed in exchange for a grant of immunity from prosecution, according to officials with knowledge of the matter.
As an adviser to Mr. Trump's presidential campaign, and later one of Mr. Trump's top aides in the White House, Mr. Flynn was privy to some of the most sensitive foreign-policy deliberations of the new administration and was directly involved in discussions about the possible lifting of sanctions on Russia imposed by the Obama administration.
He has made the offer to the FBI and the House and Senate intelligence committees through his lawyer but has so far found no takers, the officials said.
Mr. Flynn's attorney, Robert Kelner, declined to comment.
It wasn't clear if Mr. Flynn had offered to talk about specific aspects of his time working for Mr. Trump, but the fact that he was seeking immunity suggested Mr. Flynn feels he may be in legal jeopardy following his brief stint as the national security adviser, one official said.
Mr. Flynn was forced to resign after acknowledging that he misled White House officials about the nature of his phone conversations with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the presidential transition.
Mr. Flynn's communications with the Russian ambassador, Sergei Kislyak, have been scrutinized by the FBI, which is examining whether Trump campaign personnel colluded with Russian officials who are alleged to have interfered with the presidential election, according to current and former U.S. officials. Russia has denied the allegations.

Mr. Flynn also was paid tens of thousands of dollars by three Russian companies, including the state-sponsored media network RT, for speeches he made shortly before he became a formal adviser to Mr. Trump's campaign, according to documents obtained by a congressional oversight committee.
Democratic lawmakers have requested a copy of the security-clearance form that Mr. Flynn was required to file before joining Mr. Trump in the White House, to see if he disclosed sources of foreign income.
And they have asked the Defense Department to investigate whether Mr. Flynn, a retired Army general, violated the Constitution's emoluments clause by accepting money from RT, which U.S. intelligence officials say is part of a state-funded media apparatus.

If you are publicly offering to speak for immunity, that doesn't bode well for your chances of getting immunity.
This guy is ex military intelligence who is now a "patriot hacker," who hacked ISIS multiple times and the Russian Foreign Ministry. Sounds dubious, but he's legit and has been weeks ahead of the game.
Scrolling through his timeline will verify his reliability.
But it looks like we may be hitting the endgame sooner rather than later.
Also reading that Trump may blame, whether legit or not, health problems. I've speculated he has onset dementia for months, and brought it up at a conference last fall.

Jazz's modern mainstream combines intricately composed works of art with free-flowing improvisation. The music must swing, and yet it must remain free from cliches. Tradition should remain a part of every project, but it must show evidence of growth. The title object for this album, the hard-shelled cocoon of a moth or butterfly, represents fully the kind of growth that we expect.
The all-star nonet led by double bassist Bruno Raberg on Chrysalis interprets his compositions with authority. They end the program with two collective free improvisations. Innovation and invention take over, with the resulting session not only turning out as a highly recommended program, but also sitting atop this year's top ten list. Jazz is an art that has to be nurtured. It must grow naturally.
As an Associate Professor at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Rïberg has enlisted the support of other faculty members for his latest project. Mick Goodrick, Jeff Galindo and Marcello Pellitteri also teach at Berklee. Donny McCaslin and Anders Bostrïm are alumni. The connection between them runs deeper than that. Their session shows much evidence of cohesive interplay and intuitive partnership. Each improvised solo section is rewarded with full and free-flowing accompaniment.
Raberg's compositions run suite-like with appropriate changes in mood. His arco bass passages prove quite expressive. Alternatively, while walking the bass rhythmically, with bass trombone doubling, he provides a heart-pounding foundation for the band. The result is a poignant album that can be fully appreciated by all lovers of the art of jazz.
Track Listing: Snowaltz; Nightfall; Cool but Confusing; Chrysalis; Silhouettes; Le Luxe V; Yellow Bus; Sculpture IV; Sculpture V.
Personnel: Bruno R?berg- acoustic bass; Mick Goodrick- guitar; Marcello Pellitteri- drums, percussion; Anders Bostr?m- flute, piccolo, alto flute, bass flute; Allan Chase- soprano saxophone, alto saxophone; Donny McCaslin- soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, clarinet; Phil Grenadier- trumpet; Jeff Galindo- trombone; Tim Kelly- bass trombone.

Are you a mama and new to blogging?
You've probably read plenty of blogs from mothers. Do you go on Pinterest and Facebook while the children are napping?
You see all these people online with their blogs, and you're wanting a part of it. You want to join this great community. Who can blame you?
Some people have been blogging for years and let's face it, beginning a mom blog is a great decision because you have all the inside personal information.
Most mothers who blog do it for a living, and for those, it's the best decision they have made for their families.
You know what, most moms have families that have been ill with the flu, colds, fevers, and everything else. Since they are mama bloggers, they can take care of their sick children at home and not have to worry about going back to work, taking sick days, getting a baby sitter, or daycare.
What could be better than staying at home, getting an income, and taking care of your children and household? Does that sound good to you, mama?
Is there a necessity for my niche?
Can I earn money from it?
What blogging platform will I use?
What domain name will I use?
You probably have thousands of topics to write about. That's good. Use that excitement and enthusiasm to get your mama blog going.
Marketing strategies can sometimes be expensive, especially for a small business that's just starting out or trying to grow.
But there are a few ways to market your site without spending a lot of money. Affiliate marketing is one option.
There are pros and cons to the things you do for your business or website, and affiliate marketing is no different. But growth can be had if you consider your options.
So what are the benefits of affiliate marketing?
This is easy to start. You select your product, sign up to be an affiliate, and put the tracking codes on your website.
There are no skills needed because a good affiliate product will provide what you need, like banners, ads, and links.
Visitors will see your banner on your page, so there is no need to provide extra promotion.
You can make some income this way. The more sites that you affiliate with the more you can make.
There are a few downsides to affiliate marketing.
There are commission fees for every sale you make, because there is a middle man between you and the merchants you sell with.
You really need do your research so that you can look for fraud, many programs are just trying to make easy money and are misleading about what they provide.
Of course your income may not be steady because sales may not occur on a regular basis, your income will vary depending on the clicks you get.
Watch out for hackers, they can link instead of your affiliates, so when a customer clicks though, they are routed to a different site and the money goes to them and not you.
This is a highly competitive area to be in because there are many affiliates, it's hard to stand out among everyone else.
Affiliate marketing is a good way to make extra money online, especially if it's for products you already use and like and promoting them is part of a larger plan. It can produce residual income with little work on your part. Research and follow through is very important, make sure you check on your links on a regular basis to make sure that all your links are working as they should.
There are many reasons for starting a blog. If you have an expertise in a certain area or technology, you may want to write about that and keep up with changing technologies and reviews. Perhaps you have a medical condition, or a life experience you would like to write about and share information and treatments to help and connect with others.
Whatever the reason, starting a blog is a great way to get your thoughts and ideas out to the world. Plus you may also use your blog to bolster your business or service you provide, or to increase your ranking and views for your main website. A blog works to connect others and affiliates to your brand, whatever that may be.
So how do you get started? If you already have a website, your web platform (WordPress, Wix, etc) will already have templates available to add to your site. Just go in and add a blog page where you want it, and start typing!
You will need to decide what your plan will be with your blogs, will you link to your products? Are you promoting a service? Or are you providing an informational platform for others to read?
When you write your blogs, keep it real. Those that are reading are going to want to see the real you, get good information or a laugh, and want to share your blog with others. So you want to make sure you engage with any commentators, provide answers to questions your readers ask, and be available to them. Also cross-post your blog entries to your social media sites and make sure you engage there. If your titles and descriptions are interesting, you will drive traffic back to your website. Blogs are a great way to connect, provide information, link people to your website, and drive traffic to affiliate links.

President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Sarah Palin. One's a naive, oil-obsessed, holy war-calling, religious extremist, and the other is an Iranian. Here's the Lovesick Billy take on this dynamic duo:
Ahmadinejad: Thinks the Holocaust is a myth.
Palin: Thinks evolution is a myth.
Ahmadinejad & Palin: Were not widely known when they entered their presidential election campaigns, although they had already made their marks for rolling back earlier reforms.
Palin: Served two terms as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, is the Governor of Alaska, served as the head of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in her school, was one of three directors a political boot camp for Republican women in Alaska,[52] and finished third [11] in the Miss Alaska pageant,[12] at which she won a college scholarship and the "Miss Congeniality" award.[13]
Ahmadinejad: Served as mayor of Tehran, the governor general of Ardabil Province, served in the Iran–Iraq War as a member of Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution, and is considered one of the world's most handsome presidents, although his congeniality is questionable.
Ahmadinejad: Scrapped existing birth control policies at a time when Iran was struggling with surging inflation and rising unemployment, estimated at around 11 percent, and in 2008, removed protections from women with the "Family Protection Bill". [61]
Palin: Calls herself "as pro-life as any candidate can be"[55] at a time when the US is struggling with surging inflation and rising unemployment, estimated at around 6 percent. (A Christian, in the a la carte morality tradition), she is supportive of contraception [55] but she backs abstinence-only education and is against "explicit sex-ed programs" in schools,[118][119] (even though pre-wed abstinence didn't work out for her or her daughter, Bristol). John McCain, her running mate, has long sought to abridge and control women's reproductive rights with the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Palin: Was in attendence in her home church, the Wasilla Bible Church,[151] on August 17, when David Brickner, the leader of Jews for Jesus, gave a sermon claiming that terrorism against Israel is due to the disbelief in Jesus by its Jewish population.[9][10] Palin raised no objection or complaint.
Ahmadinejad: Has called for the dissolution of the state of Israel and once suggested that the entire population be moved to Alaska.
Ahmadinejad: Once claimed: "We don't have homosexuals like in your country. We don't have that in our country. We don't have this phenomenon; I don't know who's told you we have it." Of course they don't, because in Iran, homosexuality is punishable by death.
Palin: Takes a kinder view toward us, to a point. She vetoed a bill that would have denied benefits to employees in same-sex relationships, and did so because she felt it was unconstitutional, but she opposes gay marriage, and is likely to support a constitutional amendment to satisfy the base. Meanwhile the church at which she has prayed for about six years, promotes a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer. Good grief.
Ahmadinejad: Has been shrouded in scandal for attacking private "plunderers" and "corrupt officials," while engaging in "cronyism and political favoritism."
Palin: Has a history of attacking corrupt officials, even in her own party, but is now, herself, at the center of a pretty soapy ethics investigation.
Ahmadinejad: According to Human Rights Watch, leads a government that "routinely tortures and mistreats detained dissidents, including through prolonged solitary confinement."[65]
Palin: Supports a president who leads a government that scoffs at the Geneva Conventions and runs Gitmo.
Ahmadinejad: The first Iranian president to visit Iraq.[144] Ahmadinejad, in Baghdad March 2, 2008 for the start of a historic two-day trip, said "visiting Iraq without the dictator (Saddam Hussein) is a good thing."[145] Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, heading home after a two-day visit to Iraq, again touted his country's closer relations with Iraq and reiterated his criticism of the United States.[146]
Palin: In 2007, at the age of 43, Palin finally got the gumption to obtain a passport and travel for the first time outside of North America to Kuwait and Germany to visit with members of the Alaska National Guard.[58][59] As far as I can tell, she's never been to Iraq, although she's sending her son there, and sorry, they don't stamp your passport for being next to Russia.
Belligerent. Naive. Fundamentalist. Nationalist. Genius at mobilizing public opinion. Sarah Palin. That's what the GOP loves about her, and that's also how Time magazine describes Iranian leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Time

"Congealing" is a word. Like bodysnatchers or phlegm. I have a scary feeling too, Miss Penny, although I believe this cat is going to cough up a fur ball before long. Until she does, let's drown ourselves in Mint Juleps. xo, B
