Criminal Charges Dropped in Irby Cases
Barry Friedman Aug 27, 2019 at 3:35 pm The Ledger
The State Attorney's Office has dropped all criminal charges in the cases of Courtney Taylor Irby and Joseph Irby, which gained national prominence after Courtney Irby was arrested while turning in guns she said she took from her estranged husband for self-protection. The Irbys have agreed to participate in a pretrial intervention program. New evidence suggested Courtney Irby illegally placed tracking devices in her husband's vehicle and that cellphone tracking data contradicted several of her statements, prosecutors said. Divorce and injunction legal proceedings are pending.

Is Your Writing Blocked by Invisible Resistance?
The most dangerous form of writer's resistance is the resistance you can't see.
Until you realize "I'm avoiding my writing," you can't move forward. The best you can hope for is that you'll blame your circumstances. The worst is that you'll blame yourself.
Resistance can come in so many guises, how can you know for sure?
If you don't have any writing commitments, chances are you're facing resistance.
Upcoming blogs will explore the "reasons" you can't write and offer solutions for each.
Until then, observe what thoughts run through your head when you are committed to write (or think about making a commitment), but don't. Please share your thoughts in a comment; I'm always curious about what gets in the way for writers.
When my older kids were little I let them know that if my office door was closed, they only interrupted in case of emergency.
Then I defined emergency: you actually see blood or flames. That's it.
When you define "emergency" and make us prove *any* exception, it's a "stop and think" moment all right.
Blood and flames is a concise definition of emergency. Nice!
I'm a painter not a writer, but "The Bane of Your Resistance" and "The Writer's Block" apply art as they do to writing. In answer to the question, "Why do you tell yourself you can't (paint)?" — it's not so much that I can't as it is that I don't…at least not as much as I should if I'm ever to get better — and that's because I see how much better others are. I know that it's that ol' bugaboo Comparison that gets in my way, but I'll be darned if I know how to boot him out of my life!


Emotions, a lack of confidence, and indecisiveness are some of the most common barriers to solving problems with your partner or other family members. But solutions exist; finding them takes persistence, creativity and teamwork.
Put problem-solving skills high on your family to-do list. Emotions, a lack of confidence, and indecisiveness are some of the most common barriers to solving problems with your partner or other family members. And when intense emotions are involved, the problem itself can even fall by the wayside. In fact, when you get worked up to a certain point, you stop being able to think clearly, handicapping your ability to work through a problem. Your brain is flooded. The discussion becomes more about feelings than about working towards a solution.
A lack of confidence also might impede your ability to problem solve. This might be lack of confidence in yourself, your relationship, or the belief that the other person wants to find a solution.
Perhaps you haven't yet thought through the outcome you're hoping for, so you don't know where to begin. Problem solving is a challenge when you're indecisive about the subject at hand and uncertain about what a satisfying conclusion might entail.
Specifically state the issue and why it's important.
List and brainstorm a variety of possible solutions.
Decide on a realistic solution that you both can live with.
Pick a specific amount of time to try the solution.
Evaluate how well the solution you tried worked, and tweak it as necessary.
If one solution doesn't work, pick another one and follow steps 3–5 until you've solved the issue, managed it well, or made a decision.
Remember: When you pick a solution to try, it doesn't have to be perfect. It's more important to move forward by picking something you can work on together.
Using this step-by-step process can help you resolve new—and old—problems. If emotions, indecisiveness, or lack of confidence get in the way, take a break to regroup and then get back to it. Solutions exist, finding them takes part persistence, part creativity, and lots of teamwork.

134 THURSTON COUNTY v. GORTON [Jan. 1975
85 Wn.2d 133, 530 P.2d 309
Slade Gorton, Attorney General, and Jeffrey O. C. Lane, Assistant, for respondents.
WRIGHT, J. -
Thurston County is seeking a writ of mandamus to compel certain state officials to reimburse the County for filing fees and costs of service of process incurred by the County in connection with 11 habitual traffic offender cases filed by the Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney. In addition to reimbursement, the County seeks an order directing the respondent agencies to pay all filing and service of process costs generated by future habitual traffic offender actions. The sole issue for our determination is whether the costs of an action brought under the Washington Habitual Traffic Offenders Act (Laws of 1971, 1st Ex. Sess., ch. 284) are governed by RCW 4.84.170. We answer in the affirmative and order that the writ of mandamus be issued to named respondents.
[1] Costs against the state cannot be awarded unless there is specific statutory authorization. Washington Recorder Publishing Co. v. Ernst, 1 Wn.2d 545, 97 P.2d 116 (1939); State ex rel. Carroll v. Gatter, 43 Wn.2d 153, 260 P.2d 360 (1953); State ex rel. Lemon v. Coffin, 52 Wn.2d 894, 327 P.2d 741 (1958); Commercial Waterway Dist. v. State, 50 Wn.2d 335, 311 P.2d 680 (1957).
The legislature, in enacting RCW 4.84.170, has made provisions for awarding costs against the State and County for:
[A]ll actions prosecuted in the name and for the use of the state, or in the name and for the use of any county, and in any action brought against the state or any county, and on all appeals to the supreme court or the court of appeals of the state in all actions brought by or against either the state or any county, the state or county shall be liable for costs in the same case and to the same extent as private parties.
RCW 4.84.170 has been the law in this state and before statehood, in Washington Territory, since 1854 when it was enacted as a part of the original code of civil procedure. There have been, from time to time, minor amendments.
Jan. 1975] THURSTON COUNTY v. GORTON 135
The most recent was in 1971 when the section was amended to add the words "court of appeals," and otherwise the section was reenacted verbatim.
RCW 4.84.170 was construed by this court in State ex rel. Hamilton v. Ayer, 194 Wash. 165,77 P.2d 610 (1938) which held the State is liable to pay a filing fee to Thurston County upon commencing a civil action in the superior court of said county. The court therein said, in part, at page 168:
Rem. Rev. Stat., § 491, expressly places the state in the same position as private litigants in so far as its liability for costs and filing fees payable to the clerk of the superior court is concerned, except as otherwise provided by statute.
[2] The language in RCW 4.84.170 is in the conjunctive and in order to find costs chargeable against the State, an action brought under RCW 46.65 must (1) be brought in the name of the State, and (2) be brought for the use of the State. In actions brought pursuant to RCW 46.65, both requirements are met. First, when such actions are filed, the name of the State physically appears on the complaint as party plaintiff (RCW 46.65.040) and also appears on the show cause order (RCW 46.65.050). Second, such actions are designed primarily for the State's use. The Washington Habitual Traffic Offenders Act was enacted into law and is intended by the legislature to be used by the State as a tool to (a) secure state highways from motorist abuse, and (b) to protect people or goods moving in commerce upon those highways. RCW 46.65.010 expressly declares that it is the policy of the State, in enacting the act
(1) To provide maximum safety for all persons who travel or otherwise use the public highways of this state; and
(2) To deny the privilege of operating motor vehicles on such highways to persons who by their conduct and record have demonstrated their indifference for the safety and welfare of others and their disrespect for the laws of the state, the orders of her courts and the statutorily required acts of her administrative agencies; and
85 Wn.2d 133,530 P.2d 309
(3) To discourage repetition of criminal acts by individuals against the peace and dignity of the state and her political subdivisions and to impose increased and added deprivation of the privilege to operate motor vehicles upon habitual offenders who have been convicted repeatedly of violations of traffic laws. Furthermore, the State has preempted the field of licensing of motor vehicles and motor vehicle drivers by RCW 46.08.0i0. By that section all political subdivisions and municipalities are prohibited from issuing such licenses.
In Bellingham v. Schampera, 57 Wn.2d 106, 356 P.2d 292, 92 A.L.R.2d 192 (1960), it was held the preemption contained in RCW 46.08.010 includes a preemption of the power to suspend the license of a motor vehicle driver.
Since Thurston County is a political subdivision of the State of Washington, the County would have no power to suspend the license of a driver. The provisions of RCW 46.65 do not contemplate the County will revoke or suspend the license. A copy of the order of the superior court is required to be sent to the Department of Motor Vehicles and the department revokes. RCW 46.65.060.
The fact that the complaint is filed by the County's prosecuting attorney pursuant to RCW 46.65.040 does not by any means change the action from a State action to a County action for purposes of RCW 4.84. 170. First of all, the two requirements found in RCW 4.84.170 are not present so as to make the County the true complaining party. The only nexus the County really has in the action is that the matter is heard in a county courthouse. Second, the prosecuting attorney is the agent of the State in such actions and not the agent of the County. The prosecutor acts at the behest of the director of the Department of Motor Vehicles, has no discretion, and merely serves as an alter ego of that state agency. RCW 46.65.030. RCW 46.65.040 uses the mandatory word "shall" and provides that:
The prosecuting attorney upon receiving the aforesaid transcripts or abstracts from the director shall forthwith file a complaint against the person named therein as
being an habitual offender in the superior court in the political subdivision in which such person resides. In the event such person is a nonresident of this state, the attorney general of the state of Washington shall file such complaint against the accused person in Thurston county superior court. (Italics ours.)
Even apart from RCW 46.65.040, the prosecutor must conceptually be treated as an agent of the State and not the County. RCW 36.27.020 provides:
The prosecuting attorney shall:
(3) Appear for and represent the state, county, and all school districts subject to the supervisory control and direction of the attorney general in all criminal and civil proceedings in which the state or his county or any school district in his county may be a party;
(4) Prosecute all criminal and civil actions in which the state or his county may be a party, defend all suits brought against the state or his county, and prosecute actions upon forfeited recognizances and bonds and actions for the recovery of debts, fines, penalties, and forfeitures accruing to the state or his county; Cf. State v. Huson, 73 Wn.2d 660, 440 P.2d 192 (1968).
As already mentioned, the State, in habitual traffic offender actions, is the real party in interest. When the prosecutor files the complaint for such actions, he or she really does so on behalf of the State. RCW 36.18.020 provides in part:
Clerks of superior courts shall collect the following fees for their official services:
(1) The party filing the first or initial paper in any civil action, including an action for restitution, or change of name, shall pay, at the time said paper is filed, a fee of thirty-two dollars.
If there can be said to be an agency relationship between the prosecutor and the State, then, for purposes of RCW 36.18.020, the State should be considered to be "[t]he party filing the first or initial paper in any civil action." In State
v. Scheffel, 82 Wn.2d 872, 514 P.2d 1052 (1973), it was expressly held that license revocation under RCW 46.65 constituted a civil and not a criminal action. Combining RCW 36.18.020 with RCW 36.27.020, we reach the conclusion that there is statutory authority even aside from RCW 4.84.170 which dictates that the State should bear the expense of filing the complaint in actions brought under RCW 46.65.
[3] The argument is made on behalf of respondents that RCW 46.65 contains no provision for the State to pay costs in a proceeding brought under the authority of that chapter, and the general rule stated above is that the State will not be liable for costs unless provided by law. That argument, however, overlooks RCW 4.84.170 and State ex rel. Hamilton v. Ayer, supra. The legislature is presumed to enact laws with full knowledge of existing laws. State v. Thornbury, 190 Wash. 549, 69 P.2d 815 (1937); State v. Roth, 78 Wn.2d 711, 479 P.2d 55 (1971); Ropo, Inc. v. Seattle, 67 Wn.2d 574, 409 P.2d 148 (1965).
The legislature is likewise presumed to know the construction placed upon RCW 4.84.170 by this court in State ex rel. Hamilton v. Ayer, supra. El Coba Co. Dorm., Inc. v. Franklin County PUD, 82 Wn.2d 858, 514 P.2d 524 (1973); Miller v. Paul Revere Life Ins. Co., 81 Wn.2d 302, 501 P.2d 1063 (1972).
There was no reason for the legislature to specifically mention the payment of filing fee in view of the existing general law on the subject.
As a final matter, we wish to note the similarity between this case and the case of State ex rel. Carroll v. Gatter, 43 Wn.2d 153,260 P.2d 360 (1953). In Gatter, it was held that costs incurred by defendant in defending a nuisance action were to be awarded the defendants by the State. The pertinent statutes in Gatter were Rem. Rev. Stat., § 491 (cf. RCW 4.84.170) which provided in part:
"In all actions prosecuted in the name and for the use
of the state, . . . the state . . . shall be liable for costs . . . to the same extent as private parties." and Rem. Rev. Stat., § 946-2 (cf. RCW 7.48.060) which provided in part:
"Whenever a nuisance exists, as defined in this act, the prosecuting attorney . . . may maintain an action in equity in the name of the state . . . upon the relation of such prosecuting attorney . In Gatter the court, in awarding costs against the State, stated at page 161:
This action was commenced by the prosecuting attorney in accordance with the provisions of the above quoted statute. It was maintained in the name of the state. It likewise was for the use of the state. The assignment of error is without merit.
In a very real sense, RCW 46.65.050 can be considered the same type of nuisance preventive statute as was the statute in Gatter. The only difference in Gatter is that the State purpose served in that case was the removal of "houses of lewdness, assignation and prostitution" while in the instant case, the State purpose is accomplished in removing habitual law violating motorists from state highways. If this court found it proper in Gatter to assess costs against the State on grounds that it was the true beneficiary of the action brought by the prosecutor, then the same considerations lead this court to do likewise here, on the grounds that the State is the beneficiary (both in name and substance) of the license revocation procedures under RCW 46.65.050.
It is hereby ordered that the writ of mandamus be issued to named respondents.
HALE, C.J., and FINLEY, ROSELLINI, HUNTER, HAMILTON, STAFFORD, UTTER, and BRACHTENBACH, JJ., concur.

There will be differing local pathways and processes for accessing renal services. Frequently advice by email or telephone may help in reaching a decision. Follow local protocols when and where available. Seek specialist advice where patients fall outside protocols. What follows is general guidance about referral thresholds which may help inform the decision to refer to or seek further advice from renal services.
15-29 Usually require referral or discussion with renal services, particularly if newly discovered.
60+ Referral not required unless other evidence of kidney disease (e.g. likely genetic diagnosis, associated urinary abnormalities) or rapidly progressive renal impairment.
Acute kidney injury Immediate referral/discussion - most patients with acute kidney injury unless the cause and treatment are obvious and deliverable.
Urgent referral - Heavy proteinuria with low serum albumin (nephrotic syndrome) or if associated with rapidly progressive renal impairment.
Systemic illness Suspicion of renal involvement from a systemic illness (e.g myeloma, vasculitis, sarcoidosis) should lead to urgent referral or discussion.
Examination – Be particularly vigilant for a palpable bladder, especially in older men with a history of lower urinary tract symptoms.
Blood tests – Full blood count, urea and electrolytes. HbA1c if diabetic. If available, calcium, albumin, phosphate, cholesterol.
Previous tests of renal function (with dates) back to normal renal function if possible (unless electronically available in specialist centre).


This project will build a new torii, or Japanese gate, near the site of the 26-foot timber torii that once stood at the entrance to Seward Park. Built in 1934 by Seattle's Japanese American community as part of the International Potlatch celebration, the original torii was removed in the mid-1980s due to decay. The new torii will be made from basalt columns and a timber crossbeam. Other improvements at the site will include a pathway and plaza that meet ADA requirements for accessibility. The path will pass by the foundations of the original torii as it leads to the new one, reminding visitors of the strong ties between the Japanese community and the rest of Seattle.


Amazing dinner. The freshness of the ingredients shows with little seasoning. The uniqueness of the sushi you can't get elsewhere. Thanks for the great time. We will be back!
Highly recommended. We had more than 40 pieces of sushi each! The chief chef took his work seriously and he not only explained to us with pictorial illustration on each piece of sushi and also humbly showed us how to eat the sushi (with/without wasabi). Thanks to Pocket Concierge who managed to get us a slot which I could not get one in March this year. Pocket Concierge also kept me informed on the schedule and contacted us on the same day whether we would like to go for earlier timing, instead of 9pm slot. The overall experience is amazing!


1. Install support traverse rod brackets evenly across the wall the width of the rod into wall studs. If it is not possible to screw into a stude use wall anchors.
2. Adjust the brackets to the desired projection. To adjust the brackets to the projection, loosen the rear screw of bracket clip to allow clip to slide forward or backward. Tighten the bracket clip at the desired position. Make sure the brackets are all at the same projection.
1. Unscrew the ceiling mount clip from the wall bracket.
2. Space the mounting clips evenly along the ceiling.
3. Attach the rod to the clips by inserting front of the bracket clip under the top front lip of the rod/track. Rotate the cam lock clockwise and tighten over the back edge of the rod. Secure using a screwdriver.
When splicing two rods toghether, splice should be placed in the center of the two rods. We recommend splicing the rod together before mounting it.
1. Lay the rod and splice out on a flat surface face up.
2. Loosen the four screws on the splice.
3. Insert one rod on the left and one rod on the right under the metal plate of the splice.
4. Tighten the screw with a screwdriver.

The prophets Isaiah and Micah were contemporaries, both living during the reign of Hezekiah, a period in which the Assyrian empire threatened the fate of the nation. In one of the prophecies in this week's haftarah, Micah uses imagery found in a famous prophecy of Isaiah's in a way which seems to be a response to the latter's message. A comparison of the two prophecies offers us a window into two theological approaches to the problems which confronted them and perhaps some insight into debates going on in the contemporary Jewish world as well.
If there is one prophecy for which Isaiah is famous, it is this one: "The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard lie down with the kid, the calf, the beast of prey and the fating together, with a little boy to herd them." (Isaiah 11:6) Isaiah, who was the older of the two, seems to have had an idyllic approach to the problems of his day. God would cause the animals of prey, namely Israel's adversaries, to dwell in peace with their victims, Israel.
Micah offers a contrasting picture: "The remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of the many peoples like a lion among beasts of the wild, like a fierce lion among flocks of sheep, which tramples wherever it goes and rends, with none to deliver." (Micah 5:7) In this vision, the metaphors are reversed. Israel is identified with the lion and the flocks of sheep as Israel's adversaries. In this prophecy, it is Israel who would bring about the redemption by overcoming its enemies.
The conflict between these two approaches is just as apparent today as it was then. There is a presumption among some that idyllic solutions to problems exist and that they will miraculously cure Israel's or the world's troubles. Blink an eye and utopia will appear just like that. If the suggested interpretation is right, Micah is challenging this idea. The solution to problematic situations is a difficult and arduous process which people must make happen without abdicating responsibility and without the expectation that miracles come without toil. Micah's message is a good reminder that miraculous messianism in all of its ideological permutations may ultimately be an impediment rather than a booster to a better world.

LAKE ANDES—A Lake Andes man was arrested Saturday night and charged with assaulting a woman and driving drunk.
On Friday, 18-year-old Trinity Thin Elk reportedly hit the woman with an open hand at least 15 times, stuck her head underwater in a bathtub, cut off her airway with his hands and beat her head against the side of the bathtub.
When another woman came into the bathroom where the alleged assault was taking place, Thin Elk reportedly left the scene and drove away.
An officer was dispatched to North Fifth Avenue in Lake Andes following the assault and reportedly located the woman and led her to the hospital, at which point she told the officer about the incident.
On Saturday, according to court documents, Thin Elk was found to have driven his vehicle into a ditch near mile marker 338 on U.S. Highway 18. A Charles Mix County Sheriff's Deputy reportedly attempted to stop Thin Elk, who fled on foot. He was apprehended with assistance from Yankton Sioux tribal units and a South Dakota Highway Patrol trooper.
Thin Elk allegedly admitted to drinking a pint of whiskey and 64 ounces of beer. He was transported to the Charles Mix County Jail and gave a preliminary breath test of 0.11 at 11:11 p.m.
Thin Elk is charged with one count of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, a Class 3 felony, and one count of a first-offense DUI, a Class 1 misdemeanor.

Festive Doorstep Stories:
My company A Word In Your Ear and Kilter Theatre teamed up to bring some festive cheer to the doorsteps of Bath. Creating a 'traditional carol singing meets story deliveroo' event, we visited audiences outside their homes to read them Christmas stories - have a look at the pics here. I had two stories on offer on our Twelve Stories of Christmas menu: 'A White Christmas' and 'Robin Hood And The Rule of Six'. You can read 'A White Christmas' on the lovely Fairlight Books website, where it was published on Christmas Eve.
Bridport Short Story Competion:
Very chuffed indeed that I have been short listed in the Bridport Short Story Competition 2020 with my story A Leap of Leopards. This is the first time I've been on the Bridport short list. Proud? I did a Highland gig.
#WhereTo:
Very proud to be selected by Documental Theatre to be one of the south-west artists featured in their #WhereTo campaign. You can view my contribution in their compilation here, but I'd highly recommend watching all the films - they're an incredibly impressive snapshot of the fantastic variety of work going on in this region.
Delighted, and slightly amazed, that my script Whale Song is one of only two feature length screenplays in development with a Bristol film company.
Short story pamphlet:
I'm very pleased that Fly On The Wall Press have decided to include my long story The Guts Of A Mackerel in their limited edition Shorts Season. It will be published in standalone pamphlet form next year.
New anthology:
Fairlight Books have published a short story of mine, Touching The Sun, in their first anthology of short stories. It's rather a delicious book, have a look here.
Filmed story walk:
I have been out and about with my camera in Bath, as part of Bathscape Walking Festival again. Last year I curated a story walk around Bath with six other writers and long-time friends and collaborators, Kilter Theatre. We were planning a new story walk this year, but it proved too complex to organise. So we decided to film last year's stories and create a virtual walk. You can view the resulting films here. I hope you'll walk the walk, either in reality or on your sofa at home!
My story The Longest Journey won the B&NES Libraries Lockdown competition (I shall be skipping down to Mr B's to spend my winnings!). The story was recorded by Bel Mooney and has been published on the Papernations website as part of their Great Margins project. The judges said that the story 'caught their attention, finding light, hope and happier days where there only seemed despair'. You can read it here or listen to Bel Mooney reading it here. It was also broadcast on BBC Radio Bristol (read by me this time). 'Beautiful fiction,' said Adam Crowther, 'Absolutely lovely.'
Story Friday Online:
With all live events cancelled during lockdown, I got together with Olly and Caroline from Kilter Theatre and we decided to put Story Friday online. We created three events with the theme Dark Clouds, Silver Linings in April and May, and a collection of stories with the theme A Breath of Fresh Air in June. We've got a Youtube channel with 27 brand new stories - a hugely varied selection, including two of mine. Click here for all the links.
I have been running writing workshops on Zoom, instead of my regular workshops in Bath and Bristol. These proved really popular in lockdown when I ran them weekly. I also set up a weekly short story discussion group. Both are continuing fortnightly as we go into the winter. There's further information here. Let me know if you'd like to be kept informed about upcoming workshops.
BBC Radio Bristol:
I had another story on BBC Radio Bristol recently, Furlough. It's the third of the stories I wrote in lockdown that Adam Crowther has played. "I love that so so much," said Adam when he heard it, "What a lovely sketch." The other two of my lockdown stories he's played are The Longest Journey and Lucky. I've had quite a few of my stories broadcast now on Adam's show. It's always a bit fab to hear my voice coming out of a real radio! He's also broadcast A Long Way From Home, Living in the Shadow of Venus and The Winter's Egg, all of which are serious stories, and a couple of humorous ones including The Witch, "It put a right smile on my face," said Adam, and No Animals Were Hurt In The Writing Of This Story: 'Lovely story that had me belly laughing today', said Adam.
Bath Radio:
I was involved in Bath Radio's Literature Festival in July. A Word In Your Ear curated five short fictions from Story Friday writers, including one of mine. I interviewed the brilliant crime writer Sarah Hilary, and I was interviewed in turn by Elaine Miles.
Fairlight Books:
The wonderful Fairlight Books have published one of my stories, The Garden, on their short story portal, and made it story of the week. This is the third of my stories they've published. My story The Winter Egg appeared on their website at Easter. The Winter Egg is about the female designer of one of Faberge's Imperial Easter eggs, and was inspired by my recent trip to St Petersburg. Fairlight published my story Touching The Sun last summer, and have included it in their new anthology.
TellTales:
I was very pleased that my favourite Cornish live fiction event TellTales selected one of my stories for their online recordings, theme of 'Freedom'.
In news from Before:
Magazines and competitions:
My story A Long Way From Home won the Frome Short Story Competition last year and in a double whammy I got the local writer's prize too! Huge thanks to the organisers and to wonderful judge Tyler Keevil. I was invited to read my winning story on Frome FM. The recording is now available on the Frome Writers' Collective's website or here.
Elsewhere, Storgy Magazine published The Interview, one of my favs (and they said I was a 'gifted story-teller' - little dance of delight!). Blue Nib published A Long Way Home on their website. I was won third prize in last year's Yeovil Short Story competition. I was a finalist in the Aesthetica Magazine Creative Writing Awards, and have a story in their 2019 anthology.
My story Swimming Away appeared in the uber-cool Barren Magazine. My story The Clown was published by Fictive Dream, such a chic website hosting some fabulous stories. Someone liked me in Frome last year, because as well as winning (which was lovely) another of my stories My Land, Your Land was longlisted. My story Celestial Dragon was shortlisted by Magic Oxygen, and is due to be published in their final anthology.
Plays and scripts:
My short monologue Mouthy was screened at the Egg Theatre last year as part of the Fourteen project, and was screened again at the Clifton Lit Fest in Bristol. Many thanks to Engage, Screenology, and especially director Hannah Entwhistle Jones and wonderful actor Suzanne Kendall. I was really pleased that Mouthy was selected by Nevertheless Productions for a performance at the Frome Festival. It was sadly not to be, as the Festival was cancelled.
One of my short plays 'This Heart of Mine' received a rehearsed reading at the Merlin Theatre in Frome in February, just before all the theatres were closed.
In exciting news, I have been shortlisted by Greedy Ear to develop a theatre-in-the-dark sound play. More on this soon. Also, The Goats Theatre Company will be recording my play Reputation soon, and it will be available to listen to one their podcast.
Little Potatoes:
Little Potatoes went down really well at the Old Red Lion in London last year:
'An extraordinary, heart-warming tale...thought-provoking and well-executed....it will get you laughing one minute and crying the next' [My Entertainment World']
'Heartachingly moving and delightfully comic' [The Spy In The Stalls]
'An emotional two-hander with a relevant political message...refreshingly different' [London Pub Theatres Magazine]
'Well-written, self-contained..a quietly absorbing study' [Everything Theatre]
I'm so proud that after our fantastic runs at the Old Red Lion in 2019 and at the Edinburgh Festival in 2018, Little Potatoes lived on in a new production by Red Dragonfly Productions. It was part of Taking Flight at their pop-up Nomad Festival and toured to the New Forest, Cheltenham and the Buxton Fringe Festival. We were discussing staging it again for a Chinese Theatre festival in the autumn of 2020, but unfortunately the festival has been postponed.
Foraged Fictions:
Foraged Fictions, a story promenade event which I created with Kilter Theatre went down at storm at Prior Park. "This is a production of an originality that expands the boundaries of what is considered theatre. One hesitates to use the word 'magical', but this is a unique experience that echoes in the memory for long afterwards." (Theatre Bath*****).
Children's stories:
I was very pleased to hear that my story Morg has been downloaded nearly 80,000 times on Bedtime Fm, and gets 800 new listeners a month. It is apparently Darcy (aged 6)'s 'enduring favourite' on the podcast site...!
I continued to read my stories at Story Fridays in Burdall's Yard, Bath, the event I run with Kilter Theatre, which is sadly now paused. I ran some Story Saturday events at Clifton Library in Bristol, where I read alongside other writers, as guests of Foccal. I have read stories in a variety of sites recently, including the atmospheric Tin Church in Brokerswood, as part of the Frome Festival.
If you'd like to get in touch with me send me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Check out the 90-mph racing drones that broadcast NASCAR's Daytona 500
Stock cars won't be the only thing racing at the Daytona 500 — there will also be some epic drones giving viewers dynamic and incredible shots of the race. We went behind-the-scenes with Mike Davies, senior vice president of field and technical management and operations at Fox Sports, to see how they're planning on delivering the race like you've never seen it before.
Speed, obviously, is a huge part of the Daytona 500, and the new drones Fox Sports is using to capture the race are no exception, reaching speeds over 90 miles per hour. "[These are] racing drones," Davies says. "Anything you can use to make the cars look as fast as they're actually going is a big win in our book. It gives that sense of action and dynamics that we were looking for," he says of the drones.
Of course, you can't just buy these specialized drones off of Amazon. These drones are total custom builds made by Beverly Hills Aerials. With these specialized drones, Davies and his team were able to get close proximity shots, and can fly close to the ground and around structures.
A headset allows the drone operator to control it in first-person, enabling the pilots to get the best possible shots. "It's really exhilarating," Davies says about piloting a drone going 90 miles per hour that is following a car going close to 200 miles per hour.
But it's not just drones. Fox Sports is also altering some of the cameras used during the NFL season to capture the same type of super-cinematic shots seen during the football season. From a camera named "The Megalodon" to a rig called "The Digi Boom," NASCAR is set to get shots it's never been able to get before.
And as one of the first sports to start back up during the pandemic, putting those shots together is a feat of technology, utilizing people all around the country to make a seamless broadcast. "We have a place in L.A. that we call 'The Vault' that will be doing replay and our 'Fox Box.' We have a place in Pittsburgh that'll be doing more replay and graphics. And, of course, we have our Charlotte (North Carolina) hub where we're going to be doing some of our preshow. We'll actually have some people working at their houses on the live show," Davies explains.
Fox has combined its creativity with breakout technology to deliver this year's Daytona 500, and is set to show the race like never before. All the pieces must come together to really tell the stories of the race and the drivers.
"The thing about covering a race that happens on a two-and-a-half-mile track is that there are all these simultaneous storylines that are happening at once," Davies says. "And what I'm looking forward to is what I always look forward to: To bring all these toys like the drone, the super-slow-motion cameras, the high-resolution cameras, the broadcast analytics … and to see it all come together in a unique way."

Trump targets Michigan to end Democratic dominance
Chad Livengood
Detroit News Lansing Bureau
Donald Trump's campaign is seeking to end the Democratic Party's 20-year grip on Michigan's electoral votes as the presumptive Republican nominee seeks to heal a divided party and reshape the campaign map this fall.
A top Trump aide said Sunday that the billionaire real estate mogul is targeting Michigan in a face-off against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. He successfully predicted in January that he would win the state's March 8 Republican primary "because I protect the car industry."
Trump's campaign and even some of his critics within Michigan Republican politics argue the combination of his appeal to blue-collar workers and a high negative perception among voters of Clinton could be a winning combination.
GOP strategist Greg McNeilly, no fan of Trump, said Democrats will be working hard to paint the bombastic billionaire negatively in an effort to turn out their unenthusiastic base.
"It's going to be fear and loathing in Detroit and Flint and every other urban center Michigan has. Democrats are going to run a scare-out-the-voter turnout," McNeilly said.
But another prominent Republican strategist doubts that Trump can become the first Republican since 1988 to carry Michigan on Election Day.
"I think a combination of his rhetoric, his inability to bring people together, which is what you have to do in swing stages like Michigan, ... are going to put Michigan out of reach for him," said John Weaver, who served as Ohio Gov. John Kasich's campaign strategist until Kasich earlier this month ended his White House campaign.
Democrats are taking the threat of Trump turning a state like Michigan "very seriously," said Brandon Dillon, chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party.
"We believe Michigan is a state that whoever the Democratic nominee is, is going to have to be here early," Dillon said. "They're going to have to really make sure people understand the kind of things Donald Trump is saying — that he can make people's lives better — is total and utter nonsense."
While Trump has cleared the Republican field, Clinton is still battling Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic Party nomination. The battle is expected to last through the last set of big primaries on June 7.
Republicans see Clinton's upset loss to Sanders in Michigan's Democratic primary and Trump's clear victory as another sign of weakness for the former U.S. secretary of state, McNeilly said.
"Republicans have a reason to be cautiously optimistic that there are some signs that it could be competitive, but it's too early to know," said McNeilly, adding he is "tepidly bullish" about Trump's chances of winning Michigan.
Shaping a strategy
Paul Manafort, who is Trump's national convention manager, was asked Sunday by CNN's Jake Tapper which Democratic-leaning states would Trump make a play for.
"There's a number of them — there's Michigan, there's Pennsylvania, there's several New England states," Manafort said. "New Hampshire for sure. Maine's a possibility. Connecticut's a possibility."
"Connecticut?" Tapper asked.
"Yes, Connecticut," Manafort replied. "... We're in the process now of organizing the framework for the strategy for our general election campaign."
Trump has the potential to attract Democrats who have been supporting Sanders' campaign against Clinton, Manafort said.
Sanders and Trump have been appealing to similar groups of independent voters and blue-collar workers. Both men have railed against U.S. trade policies as favoring wealthy corporations and foreign countries over American workers.
When he campaigned in Michigan for one day, Trump held a rally in Warren, the epicenter of the Macomb County "Reagan Democrats" who helped catapult Republican Ronald Reagan to the presidency in 1980.
"We think there are a number of issues that allow us to expand the map," Manafort told Tapper. "We think the Democrats are the ones who are going to have a very narrow way to victory, and we think we're going to be successful."
Repairing a coalition
Trump's campaign is starting to build up its field operations in states that typically favor Democrats in general elections, including Michigan, according to the Associated Press.
"I will win states that no Republican would even run in," Trump told the AP in a recent interview.
Scott Hagerstrom, a veteran Michigan Republican operative, served as Trump's state director in the run-up to the March 8 primary. But in recent weeks, he was Trump's state director in Nebraska ahead of that state's May 10 primary, according to published reports.
The Trump campaign did not respond to a request from The Detroit News for comment.
Trump supporters in Michigan are focused on repairing the fractured Republican coalition that saw more than a dozen candidates come and go in the wake of Trump's march to the nomination.
"I really think in another couple, three weeks, most everybody will be behind him," said state Sen. Jack Brandenburg, a Harrison Township Republican and Trump delegate to the national convention.
On Monday, Lt. Gov. Brian Calley became the highest-ranking Michigan Republican to fully embrace Trump after backing Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the primary.
"It is time for republicans to unify behind @realDonaldTrump," Calley wrote Monday night on Twitter.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, who was neutral in the primary, is "staying out" of presidential politics "for now," spokesman Ari Adler said Tuesday.
Joseph Munem, a longtime Republican activist in Macomb County, said it's still too early to tell whether Trump can end the Democrats' streak of winning Michigan in six consecutive presidential elections.
"I really don't like dusting off the crystal ball before Labor Day," Munem said Tuesday. "Trump might have some kind of appeal (in Macomb County). But I don't know if that's going to be something that's found throughout the rest of the state."
"I think he has a very long way to go to beating Hillary in Michigan."

Swiss Miss Pancakes Recipe – A Christmas Morning Tradition!
These things are fun memories the children look forward to every year now!
We moved into our new (to us) home in February of this year, so it will be our first Christmas here. Not only that, but for the first time EVER we will be staying home all day on Christmas! In the past, we would hurriedly open presents, then get ready and head to my in-laws' for the rest of the day where we'd also exchange gifts and then enjoy Christmas dinner together. Don't get me wrong, it's always been a lovely time with family, but Orin and I felt badly for the kids who had just gotten all these new toys that they wanted to play with and enjoy but we'd have to pack up and leave before they ever had the chance. By the time we would get home on Christmas day it would be late and time for bed.
But THIS year, we are hosting Christmas dinner at our house! The kids can open their gifts and then enjoy playing while Orin and I fix dinner for our family and extended family.
Because we'll be home all day this year for Christmas, I wanted to add a new tradition to our Christmas morning. After a little brainstorming I thought of the perfect thing — Swiss Miss pancakes for breakfast! My kids just love hot cocoa and pancakes, so I thought this would be the perfect combination for them!
Since I've never made Swiss Miss pancakes before, I wanted to do a trial run before Christmas. I stopped into my local Walmart and grabbed a box of Swiss Miss and a few other ingredients last week to try it out. While the box of 10 is enough for one batch of recipes, look for the Super Value Pack which includes 30 envelopes – that way you'll have plenty of extra Swiss Miss for hot cocoa for everyone!
With a little bit of trial and error I came up with a delicious recipe for Swiss Miss Pancakes that I wanted to share with you today!
A delicious breakfast, especially festive for the holidays, but great all year long!
Preheat griddle or frying pan on low heat. I find that heat level 2 or 3 works best for my stove, but you'll need to see what works best for yours.
Wisk dry and wet ingredients together.
For an extra special treat, you can add some whipped cream topping to these pancakes!
These pancake turned out so delicious! I let the kids taste test them as well and Maggie exclaimed that they were the best pancakes she's ever had! I think for Christmas morning I will kick it up a notch and create reindeer with these pancakes. It should be fairly easy to do. I'll just add two pieces of bacon to the top for antlers and then use whipped cream to create eyes and a red cherry for a nose!
Pick up a box of Swiss Miss on your next trip to Walmart and make these pancakes for your own family this Christmas! Grab the 30-count box and you'll have plenty of extra Swiss Miss to make those cozy moments of me-time more special, without the overindulgence! I love sipping on my Swiss Miss in the evenings while I wrap Christmas presents.
It's been really chilly here and I've been loving having my moments of peace when I wake up in the morning before everyone else, watch the snow sprinkle down and enjoy a mug for myself. This little amount of time where I get to pause everything and look around – sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes a full hour – really make me appreciate having all four seasons here in WV, something I sometimes take for granted during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Swiss Miss has been a cozy, guilt-free addition to those moments.
In fact, I enjoy it so much myself, it was inspiration this year for Christmas gifts I made. Just use grab a few packets of Swiss Miss and a new holiday mug to make an affordable and adorable Christmas gift for teachers and friends! They are sure to love it!
Planning to make this recipe this holiday season? Pin it to Pinterest so you can find it easily! You can also find more great Swiss Miss recipes HERE.
You had me at Chocolate pancakes, yum. I have made them with chocolate chips or peanut butter chips which is always a big hit at my house.
Maggie told me all about these pancakes and how delicious they were today. I'm definitely going to have to give them a try!
Oh you should! They were really good!
These look really good and you really wouldnt need any syrup if you didnt want to! I like the idea of the whip cream on top just melting away. It is certainly a nice new tradition.
These look so yummy and I know my family would enjoy them!
I am definitely making these they sound delicious!
What an awesome Christmas morning tradition to start! These pancakes sound delicious, I love Swiss Miss hot cocoa! My kids love anything with chocolate so of course they will absolutely love them too. Thank you so much for sharing!

These are details of oboes, a descendant of the soprano shawm, from around 1750. Notice the extremely fine reed, and the extension key still made for playing in either the right- or left-hand down position.
Here are figureheads from the pegboxes of violas da gamba. Sometimes the heads were modeled on classical figures, while other times they were carved in the likenesses of clients or patrons. I have yet to see this same style and subtlety of expression captured in the figureheads on more modern reproductions.
Listed below is the music for the orchestra's next three meetings. Please note that there will be sectional seating for the Telemann Concerto, with those playing Soprano Recorder 1-3, Alto Recorder 1 and Tenor Recorder 1-2 sitting on the right as they face the conductor and those playing Alto Recorder 2, Tenor Recorder 3-4 and Bass Recorder on the left. Please observe this seating arrangement when you choose your place at the beginning of the meeting on April 16. Please note as well that sopranino, great bass and contrabass recorders will be needed at all three meetings, bassoon on April 16, bass viola da gamba on April 9 and April 16 and krummhorns and dulcien on April 9 and April 30.
William (Bill) Barnhart Jr. was born Feb. 24, 1925, in Hollywood and passed away on Sept. 26, 2013, in Grass Valley. His early interest in electricity was reflected in his operator licensing and included the use of Morse Code and construction of a HAM radio as a teenager.

In the mid-1950's, Bill joined Ampex Corp. in the Bay Area.
He spent several months in Russia during 1959 as a videotape engineer at the American Exposition in Moscow. See the picture below in which Bill is running equipment behind Russian Premier Nikita Khrushchev and Vice President Richard Nixon. Bill was on the engineering team that designed early commercial grade portable (vs. studio) TV video recording equipment.
Bill moved to Nevada City in 1967 to join the Grass Valley Group as employee #12. GVG was a company that produced technology and services for the video and broadcast industry. Bill was deeply involved in the Nevada County music scene, including Nevada City Theatre musical productions, instrumental and choral groups, Nevada County Concert Band, and Trinity Episcopal Church Choir. Bill was known by many as a perpetually cheerful, friendly and social guy.
He is survived by son John Barnhart of Elk Grove, CA; daughter Shirley Rodriguez of Reno, NV; niece Nancy Struble of Nevada City, CA; nephew Dirk Miller of Incline Village, NV; and eight grandchildren. Bill was preceded in death by his wife, Ilse.
From the MPRO files: Bill founded MPRO in 1962 and was its first music director. He was an accomplished musician, folk dancer and singer, having performed with the Roger Wagner Chorale prior to moving to northern California.

Home/Robin Williams/'Aladdin': Robin Williams Earned Only $75,000 to Voice the Genie
'Aladdin': Robin Williams Earned Only $75,000 to Voice the Genie
AdminJune 17, 2022
Robin Williams' career was filled with many memorable performances. In addition to being one of the world's biggest comedy stars, Williams was an Academy Award-winning dramatic actor. But perhaps fans remember him best for the same manic comic energy he brought to TV's Mork & Mindy. Never on the big screen was this captured more perfectly than Disney's Aladdin. And yet Williams was wildly under-paid to lend his voice to the Genie.
'Aladdin' is 1 of Robin Williams' most popular films
Among Williams' filmography is a ton of movies that made more than $100 million. Back in the 1990s, this figure — though low by today's blockbuster standards — was commonly considered a benchmark for a hit movie. And Williams hit it time and again with Jumanji, Hook, The Birdcage, Patch Adams, Good Will Hunting, and Mrs. Doubtfire all earning more than $100 million domestically, according to The-Numbers.com.
But worldwide, Aladdin tops them all. In fact, only 2006's Night at the Museum — in which Williams has a supporting role — earned more money. Back in 1992, Aladdin made more than $500 million worldwide. Much of that has to do with Williams' high-energy performance as the Genie at a time when A-list actors didn't typically work on animated movies. And in the decades since, Aladdin remains easily one of the actor's most beloved film roles
Disney only paid the actor $75,000 for 'Aladdin'
Given how popular Aladdin was, many fans probably assume Williams walked away with a small fortune. However, the actor was barely compensated for his work on the Disney classic, according to Business Insider. Although he did agree to earn only $75,000 to voice the Genie, Williams stipulated that this pay cut was in exchange for his voice not being included on Aladdin merchandise. Williams' focus, he told Today (via the Los Angeles Times), was his kids.
"We had a deal. The one thing I said was I will do the voice. I'm doing it basically because I want to be part of this animation tradition. I want something for my children. One deal is, I just don't want to sell anything — as in Burger King, as in toys, as in stuff."
Of course, Aladdin spawned a ton of merchandise, leaving Disney and Williams to part ways. Eventually, the studio made peace with the star. And Williams returned for the second direct-to-video Aladdin sequel, 1996's Aladdin and the King of Thieves. This time around, he earned a reported $1 million salary to return to the franchise.
Robin Williams' legacy continues to live on now
As fans of Williams know, the actor's legacy of laughter continues on. Despite his death in 2014, so many of his movies remain beloved. And in some instances, the stories told there are being revived and revisited. Take Aladdin, for instance, which Disney remade in live-action in 2019. Will Smith stepped into the role Williams made famous, and much of the movie's pre-release discussion centered on how Smith would compare.
Beyond that, 2017's Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (and its 2019 follow-up, Jumanji: The Next Level) revived that series with a more modern edge. And a Broadway musical based on Mrs. Doubtfire hit the stage in 2021. So it's safe to say Williams' iconic work as the Genie and throughout the rest of his career is as popular as ever.

Amish Christmas at North Star!
Amish Christmas at North Star contains four Amish Christmas stories set in North Star, Pennsylvania. The stories are written by Cindy Woodsmall, Amanda Flower, Katie Ganshert, and Emily Clark and Mindy Starns Clark. On November 30, 1990 a blizzard is coming through the area and midwife, Rebekah Schlabach delivers four babies. Twenty-five years later Chase Wellington discovers an article in his mother's attic on what were called Rebekah's Babies. Chase believes a follow-up story would make a good article for the North Star Tribune where he is a part-time reporter. Guiding Star by Katie Ganshert takes Chase on a search for the child that disappeared after its birth. It will take Chase and Noelle "Elle" McAllister on a journey to find out what happened twenty-five years ago. Mourning Star by Amanda Flower is an Amish Mystery. Eden Hochstetler is living Sugarcreek, Ohio with her parents. They moved there from North Star, PA. A friend of Eden's, Isaac Yoder passed away at Yoder Stables. Eden wants to find out what happened to Isaac. She does not believe his death was an accident. Eden with the help of Jesse Yoder, Isaac's nephew, sets out to find out what happened to her friend. Cindy Woodsmall's In the Stars is about lost love. Savilla Beiler rejected Kore Detweiler. So Kore moved away to Virginia. He works with Esther and Jacob King on their salvage and decorating business. Business takes him back to North Star and a family emergency keeps him there. Mammi D is injured and she needs someone to watch the Adler kids while she is laid up (their parents are in Uganda adopting a child). Savilla and Kore end up working together to take care of the kids. Will Kore be able to find out why Savilla turned him away? Star of Grace by Mindy Starns Clark and Emily Clark is the last story in the book. Andy Danner left North Star after Nellie Umble broke up with him. Andy has been working in construction in Mississippi. Andy's little brother, Sam misses Andy and works out a way to bring him home for Christmas. Nellie is very sorry that she broke up with Andy and wants him back. Can Sam get Andy back to town in time for Christmas and keep him there? There is an enjoyable epilogue that ties up all the storylines in the book. All four stories are just wonderful. I loved this book. It will help put you in the mood for Christmas. Amanda Flower's Mourning Star had a good mystery, enjoyable characters, and some delicious descriptions of fudge. Amish Christmas at North Star is a heartwarming and well-written book. You will not go wrong in reading Amish Christmas at North Star. I give Amish Christmas at North Star 5 out of 5 stars. I liked how all these stories were written by different authors by you would never know it. They all tied together beautifully. I received a complimentary copy of Amish Christmas at North Star from Blogging for Books (and the publisher) in exchange for an honest review.

This Fashion Company Thinks There's Only One Size That Girls Should Fit Into
ByDerrick Clifton
Brands like Abercrombie & Fitch have long sent the message that the only people who can wear their clothes or work in their stores are the "cool kids," a distinction that's largely been reserved for thinner, fair-skinned young people.
And though Abercrombie has endured financial losses and intense public scrutiny after admitting its dubious standards, parts of its business model have been emulated by brands around the world. The latest example of this is an up-and-coming clothing line that seems determined to shrink — literally — the definition of beauty for young girls across America.
Meet Brandy Melville, a retail chain where threads are almost exclusively made in a single size, one they claims "fits most:" a small. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a universal size, especially not the one worn by its band of homogenous models. Its Instagram account is clear: At Brandy Melville, only thin is really "in."
According to the Huffington Post, Brandy Melville is one of the fastest-growing brands popular among teenage girls, ranking well ahead of established stores like H&M, American Eagle and Hollister, as measured by market research firm Piper Jaffray. But unlike its competitors, Brandy Melville, which came to the U.S. from Italy in 2009, isn't interested in catering to any woman whose size or body shape doesn't fit a very restrictive idea of what "most" people can actually wear.
This stance is more extreme than Abercrombie & Fitch, which resolved to offer "plus" sizes in their stores following controversial comments made by former CEO Mike Jeffries about the brand's exclusive image.
On Brandy Melville's website, only a few items are available in "medium" and "large" sizes, but it's all relative: A waist that spans 15 inches across is as big as any skirts or pants will come. Although the store's options are generating a cultlike following on social media, many women are less than impressed:
So far, Brandy Melville executives show no sign of budging.
In an April interview with USA Today, one of the people responsible for bringing the chain stateside said he would love for everybody to shop at Brandy Melville, but that they can "not satisfy everybody."
"The one size fits most clothing might turn off somebody if they don't walk into the store, but if you walk in you'll find something even if it's a bag," said Jessy Longo, a store owner and close friend of one of Brandy Melville's co-founders. "We just focus on making clothes and try to do our best ... not the political stuff. We aren't focused on branding a certain model or branding one race and we don't seek out a certain type of look."
Apparently store officials believe that body positivity is merely a "political" consideration, not something that has real-world implications for the health of America's youth. Data suggest otherwise, however. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, one-half of teenage girls engage in unhealthy weight control behaviors such as skipping meals, fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting and taking laxatives. There's no way to look at those numbers and not think about the toll social messaging is taking on body image.
In an open letter to the chain posted on the Huffington Post in the spring, Los Angeles high school student Lani Renaldo noted how frustrating it felt to not fit into clothing supposedly modeled on the ideal body type. "It doesn't ever feel good to be an outcast and by not offering several sizes, or opening up to a different array of models, this company is separating and almost purposely making the girls with chests and curves feel like minorities and outcasts," Renaldo wrote. "It is important to me, to be a leader in this cause and as a girl that doesn't necessarily share the same body type as a majority of my friends, I think it's important for girls to be able to embrace our bodies and be okay with whatever size or shape they we are."
Only time will tell if Brandy Melville changes course, but the brand may learn the hard way that this kind of body-shaming is never in style for long.


Excellent service from Amar at Black and White Real Estate. Always easy to get in contact with him and very Professional in his work. I would recommend him to other people who would like some property management.
Wow! I gave a chance but couldn't get close to the market price. Lake of experience and motivation to go above and beyond. Poor marketing strategy, also not trustworthy.
Amar and his group are very professional, fast reply and excellent service. I would like to recommend them to other clients.
Great Service!! I came in contact with Heena who is professional and knowledgeable in her area, always ready to help and provide guidance to make the right decision. She went extra mile to help us. And apart of her professionalism she is very kind and friendly.
Amar from Black and White real estate was amazing with the help and requirements needed for us, with recent building homes . He provide genuine advice to us in matters of leasing property, realistic rent and what things need to be done .The personal attention and prompt reply was much appreciated. His dedication towards work is very professional and I would highly recommend to anyone for buying,selling and leasing property.


Maximum Respect: Hole In The Day (Bug-o-na-ghe-zhisk) Ojibwe leader.
Bug-o-na-ghe-zhisk of the Sandy Lake Ojibwe.
This image is from an original Brady/Handy print made pre 1933, taken in 1864.
What a guy, sharp as a tack, nerves of steel during the Dakota uprising of 1862.
He successfully bridged the chasm of prejudice between native and european worlds to become wealthy and influential yet still exerted himself on behalf of his people to obtain reservation land that he reportedly swore never to set foot on.
It seems that he knew a ghetto when he saw it. Part of his story can be found with the link at the top of this post and it serves to illustrate the idea that no good deed goes unpunished as well as any you are ever likely to encounter.
His people are still actively fighting for proper federal recognition and fiercely oppose wolf hunting in Minnesota. That is righteous, and we wish them all the best.
And for why did middle son choose the name Bowery? I fully expect to read of - in the future - some genealogical discoveries!
I sampled his DNA and discovered he was extraterrestrial so you might not even be related after all.
In our busy lives as closeted superheroes we treasure our anonymity, thus the n d plume.
Not related?....Hmmmmm.....then - as I feared - my memory is surely failing me.

At WinHEC earlier this week, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 is coming to ARM64-based devices. The company has teamed up chip maker Qualcomm to put full Windows 10 on devices powered by Qualcomm's next-gen Snapdragon processors. Windows 10 supporting ARM64 is quite a huge thing for users as Windows 10 devices running on ARM64 processors will bring much-improved battery life thanks to the modern architecture of ARM processors while providing a decent amount of power.
Now, a Microsoft enthusiast and security researcher who goes by the name "my123" has recompiled a Windows app for ARM64 using an unreleased version of Visual Studio. As you can see in the screenshot above, he was able to compile a sample app for ARM64 which is really neat. Additionally, he has also compiled 7-ZIP and PuTTY (an open-source SSH client for Windows) for ARM64, which you can download from here apps — but of course, you won't be able to try it out unless you have Windows 10 running on an ARM64 device.
It is worth noting that Win32 x86 apps will still be able to run fine on Windows 10 devices powered by ARM64 processors even if they aren't recompiled for ARM64. That's because of Microsoft's x86 emulation on Windows 10 which is expected to arrive in 2017 — possibly with Windows 10 'Redstone 3' or the Creators Update (aka Redstone 2). However, if developers do decide to recompile their apps for ARM64, it'll simply provide a much better experience for users.
Windows 10 coming to ARM64 is still a bit far away, but Microsoft and Qualcomm promised that we'll see devices running on ARM64 processors in 2017. It will be quite fascinating to see how Windows performs on these devices, but we'll have to wait several months until we get to try out the new and exciting things in Windows 10.
