New legislation looks at 'mens rea' in criminal justice: Part II
On behalf of Buting, Williams & Stilling, S.C. posted in Criminal Defense on Monday, January 25, 2016.
In our previous post, we began a discussion about proposed mens rea reforms in bills being considered by Congress. The concept of mens rea - a term often translated as "guilty mind" - is an important component of criminal justice. Traditionally, in order for an act to be considered criminal, the actor must have been aware that it was illegal and acted with criminal intent.

New legislation looks at 'mens rea' in criminal justice: Part I
On behalf of Buting, Williams & Stilling, S.C. posted in Criminal Defense on Thursday, January 21, 2016.
Most of us would consider ourselves law-abiding citizens. But can we be sure? By some estimates, there are approximately 4,500 or more crimes on the books, and that's just at the federal level. And because there is no central database (which would seem like a no-brainer), there is no way to definitively quantify the number of criminal statutes.

Civil rights & the fight over new police surveillance technology
It has often been said that technology evolves faster than our ability to regulate its use. You might think the danger in this equation comes from consumer products that are released to the general public without proper testing and rules governing use. But in many cases, the real danger lies in how modern technology is used (and abused) by law enforcement agencies and other arms of the government.

Implicit bias training may help reduce police-community tensions
On behalf of Buting, Williams & Stilling, S.C. posted in Criminal Defense on Friday, January 8, 2016.
We have written several times in the past year about the growing distrust between American communities and the police officers who work within them. This anger and distrust has been sparked, in large part, by the numerous fatal shootings of unarmed African-American men by white police officers. Many other examples of apparent racial profiling in traffic stops have been recorded and shared by the suspects and bystanders. Such incidents have occurred here in Wisconsin as well as other parts of the Midwest.

Rare medical condition was to blame for woman's drunk driving
On behalf of Buting, Williams & Stilling, S.C. posted in Drunk Driving on Monday, January 4, 2016.
Over the years, DUI defendants here in Wisconsin have presented some pretty creative explanations for why the charges against them were erroneous. While some of these explanations are fictitious, others are true. And sometimes, the most outrageous sounding stories prove that truth can be stranger than fiction.

"I just want to say thank you for the outstanding work you have done for him and let you know how much we appreciate the time and attention you gave to his case. We are obviously overjoyed by today's dismissal!" (Child pornography case dismissed after motion to suppress was granted)
"After having had time to exhale, we thank each one of you and all the others who contributed to the exemplary Supreme Court presentation. We are proud of your efforts on our behalf and, equally important, on behalf of the many present and future defendants statewide." (Client's comment after Supreme Court oral argument)
"Thank you. Thank you. I am so pleased to hear that we won. It doesn't seem that it was even a close call. I appreciate your efforts." (Oconto County defendant after Buting, Williams & Stilling got his prison sentence overturned in the court of appeals)
"Your time and advice was appreciated more than words can express at a time when we really needed someone to guide us." (Client)
"The outcome was amazing, one unavailable even under identical circumstances in probably 98 percent of federal courtrooms around the country. Separate and apart from the outcome, though, I am supremely impressed by your efforts on your client's behalf. Your comments in support of the requested sentence were perfect in tone and, having now reviewed the extensive sentencing memorandum you filed, your work in that regard was exemplary as well. Your client was certainly fortunate to have you as his attorney." (Local federal court attorney present at a sentencing)
"I can't thank you enough, not only for all of the tireless work that you and your staff put into my case, but for telling me what I needed to hear, at a time when I absolutely had to hear it. I consider myself blessed for everything turning out the way it did, especially since I blindly picked you out of a phone book! You helped me, my family and friends in many more ways than the money ever could." (Child pornography client)
"I think you will find that in any circles where Kathy's name is raised, people will always respond positively and identify her as an extremely hardworking, knowledgeable and ethical lawyer who is timely and effective with any endeavor she takes on. These circles would include colleagues, friends, prosecutors, judges, professors and others who have crossed paths with Kathy. They would also include the many lawyers like me who have referred numerous cases to Kathy, invariably with positive feedback from the clients regarding her knowledge of their case, empathy, professionalism and fair-mindedness in addressing their concerns." (Fellow attorney)
"Thank you for giving [our son] back to us. Wonderful work!" (Family of client accused of armed robbery after charges were dismissed)
"Yes, His perfect time and perfect place, you were a part of this plan. I almost didn't hire you, but I took a step of faith trusting Him and look what happened? Praise God. Our Lord put you in your vocation for a reason, continue to help those He brings your way. May He bless you in ALL you do!" (Client who was wrongfully convicted of sexual assault in a northwestern Wisconsin county. He was released from prison after attorneys got his conviction reversed.)
"I really cannot thank you enough for your past help. You really know your stuff. It is actually funny when I think about my other past attorney's knowledge and then when I talk with you. It's like night and day. You're like a walking book of knowledge with a purpose-driven life. Thanks." (Brown County client of attorney Buting)
"A year later and I still believe your defense is the single best example of lawyering I have ever seen." (Television reporter commenting on attorney Buting's defense of Steven Avery)
"You have a certain brilliance that makes me sure that when you talk, it is good information and I am in good hands. You tell it to me like it is even when the things you say are not always the things that I would like to hear. You keep it REAL!!!" (Brown County client)
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! I feel like this was one of the biggest blessings that happened in my life. I put this along with my children being born healthy and when I survived that horrific shooting. I appreciate everything you have done for me. I couldn't ask for better lawyers. I want to say thank you to everybody at your firm. I owe you more than the fee you so rightfully deserve. ... You gave me back hope. Thank you, man! Out of my 36 years ... I have never seen such kindness before. I don't know what I did to deserve this; I'm very thankful nonetheless. Thank you for giving me hope again. Thank you for your generosity. There are still some really good people around." (Federal criminal appeal client)
"There is no other attorney I've ever even heard of I'd rather have as chief counsel and leader of my defense/appeals than Jerome Buting. You're the best. Period." (Dane County client)
"Your advice and counsel were greatly appreciated. We appreciate you taking the time on your Sunday and evenings to help us. We are SO happy about the results! Thanks again." (Waukesha County client)
"Thank you again ... for everything. Five and one-half years of commitment, so many ups and downs and an outcome like that. You did a GREAT job." (Waukesha County felony drug offense client)

The Greatest Showman is here…. well, The Showman anyway
game, leander, LeGa, mutuel play, RGS, slot, the showman
Mutuel Play > News > production > The Greatest Showman is here…. well, The Showman anyway
Mutuel Play is proud to announce the second game launch in as many months via the Leander Games LeGa RGS platform. The game is a 5×3 slot game called, 'The Showman', piggybacking the success of the major Hollywood Musical movie 'The Greatest Showman'.
The slot game has already been launched with Slotsmillion and the Whitehat Gaming white label network with more operators looking to launch the game in the coming weeks. Early numbers are promising and we're very hopeful this will be a real hit with players.
The game itself has a Magical Re-appearing Reels in-game feature that copies reel 1 over to random other reels and a 'Extra Wild' feature that can occur randomly in the base game. Players lucky enough to get the Bonus Spins symbol on reels 1, 2 and 3 will trigger the Bonus Spins feature where they can be awarded up to 20 Bonus Spins with a x5 multiplier on all wins. Additional Bonus Spins are awarded for further Bonus Spins symbols landing during the feature game.
The Magician himself is a combination of Dick Dastardly and Stan Smith from American Dad, and he has a brave assistant in the form of a 'Debbie McGee' styled character.
Rhys Owen, CEO, of Mutuel Play, had this to say, "It's great to finally be launching some content and there's plenty more in the offing. Leander have been a great partner to work with so far, and are extremely thorough in their operation, which is working really well. We're hoping their network of operators and their players will enjoy what we bring to the table; which we hope is something slightly different than the main stream, in both design, theme and in-game features. Onwards and upwards to the next batch."
Mutuel Play live with our first slot game!

Hexagon Series on Human and Environmental Security and Peace
Open Access This content is freely available online to anyone, anywhere at any time.
Migration, Gender and Social Justice
Perspectives on Human Insecurity
Editors: Truong, T.-D., Gasper, D., Handmaker, J., Bergh, S.I. (Eds.)
Synthesis of research projects on feminization of migration
Promotion of migrant women's human rights
Security within liminal legality
Access this book for free
This book is an open access book, you can download it for free on link.springer.com
This book is the product of a collaborative effort involving partners from Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America who were funded by the International Development Research Centre Programme on Women and Migration (2006-2011). The International Institute of Social Studies at Erasmus University Rotterdam spearheaded a project intended to distill and refine the research findings, connecting them to broader literatures and interdisciplinary themes. The book examines commonalities and differences in the operation of various structures of power (gender, class, race/ethnicity, generation) and their interactions within the institutional domains of intra-national and especially inter-national migration that produce context-specific forms of social injustice. Additional contributions have been included so as to cover issues of legal liminality and how the social construction of not only femininity but also masculinity affects all migrants and all women. The resulting set of 19 detailed, interconnected case studies makes a valuable contribution to reorienting our perceptions and values in the discussions and decision-making concerning migration, and to raising awareness of key issues in migrants' rights.
All chapters were anonymously peer-reviewed. This book resulted from a series of projects funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada.

Scribe Award Winners Announced
July 13, 2012 by Lee Goldberg
Bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson was honored as this year's Grandmaster at the International Association of Media Tie-In Writer's annual Scribe Awards ceremony, held Friday night at Comic-Con in San Diego.
Anderson was honored for remarkable achievements in the tie-in field, which include more than one hundred novels, adding up to over 20 million books in print in thirty languages. His work includes the Star Wars "Jedi Academy" books, three internationally bestselling X-Files novels, the Superman novels The Last Days of Krypton and Enemies & Allies, many novelizations (Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, etc.) and, of course, the ten globally bestselling DUNE novels he has co-authored with Brian Herbert.
Receiving the honor was, for Anderson, "like receiving a standing ovation for something that was already fun in the first place, and I am very honored to be recognized by my colleagues in this particularly challenging line of writing."
He wasn't alone accepting honors on Friday. The Scribe Awards, recognizing excellence in the field of media tie-in writing for Best Original Novel in Speculative and General Fiction genres, Best Adaptation, Best Young Adult novels and Best Audio performance, were also awarded at the event, which included a lively panel discussion with the winners and nominees.
Cowboys & Aliens by Joan D. Vinge was the winner for Best Adaptation, Dungeons & Dragons – Forgotten Realms: Brimstone Angels by Erin M. Evans took the prize for Best Speculative Original Novel, Mike Hammer: Kiss Her Goodbye by Max Allan Collins & Mickey Spillane won for Best Original Novel, and Thunderbirds: Extreme Hazard by Joan Marie Verba was honored for Best Young Adult Novel. Mike Hammer: Encore for Murder by Max Allan Collins & Mickey Spillane won the Best Audio award.
Collins was "blown away" by his double win this year, but was particularly pleased that "the work I've been doing to bring Mickey Spillane's unpublished, unfinished material to fruition has earned this kind of recognition."
The IAMTW (I Am a Tie-In Writer) is dedicated to enhancing the professional and public image of tie-in writers…to working with the media to review tie-in novels and publicize their authors…to educating people about who we are and what we do….and to providing a forum for tie-in writers to share information, support one another, and discuss issues relating to their field.

A small spark from Bellona fuels Norway's eco-friendly car explosion
Norway has come a long way since 1987, when Bellona's president, Frederic Hauge, plugged the organization's first electric car into an extension cable he ran out the window of his office in Oslo.
Published on January 8, 2018 by Charles Digges

The car, a squat triangular thing, was barely legal to drive. The bureaucracy for registering it was a nightmare, and you could only go 45 kilometers before you had to plug it in again. Only two passengers could squeeze into it – and only if they held their breath and only if they had both skipped dinner. It was the right thing to do for the environment, but nobody was too hopeful about something like this catching on.
Yet over the last year, a new trend on Norway's roads proved Hauge and the funny little clown car he imported from Sweden 30 years ago were on to something.
According to the Norwegian Road Federation, 52 percent of all cars sold in the country in 2017 were electric or hybrid, marking the first time in any major driving economy that environmentally friendly sales outpaced the their primarily gas and diesel driven counterparts. And that's up from the previous year, when electric and hybrids made up 40 percent of all cars sold in Norway.

What's more, said the Federation, 21 percent of cars sold in Norway last year were purely electric, and by the end of this year, the Federation says it expects fully a quarter of the cars sold in the country to be powered by nothing more than emissions free electricity.
What makes that figure all the more impressive is how well cars were selling last year overall. On the whole, dealers in Norway, a country of 5 million people, moved 158,650 automobiles, making it the third best year for car sales ever, topped only by 1985 and 1986.
All of this puts Norway in the fast lane to realize its goal of becoming the first country to dump the sale of gas and diesel powered cars altogether in favor of electric cars only by 2025. By now, the country has more than 120,000 purely electric cars on its roads – and sellers are having a hard time keeping up with demand. The Norwegian Road Federation said even more electric cars would have sold this year had so many drivers not been holding out for the Tesla Model 3.

The United Kingdom and France are trying to catch up, but they won't stop selling gas cars in favor of electric ones until 2040. China, meanwhile, is trying its hand at an e-car revolution of its own as it works to phase out emissions producing cars with regulations on car makers, generous Norwegian-style subsidies to e-car owners, and throwing government weight behind building millions of EV charge points.
Still, going all electric is an audacious goal for Norway, a country that owes so much of what it has to being Western Europe's biggest oil exporter – and the road for e-car drivers hasn't always been as smooth as it is today.
Exactly three decades ago, Hauge spent three years jumping through bureaucratic hoops to get his e-car road legal. Then, in 1995, he teamed up with Morten Harket, the frontman for the 80s Norwegian heartthrob act A-Ha, to showcase the environmental benefits of electric mobility. The two hit Norway's open road – blowing through its expensive tolls, refusing to pay up.
Their freewheeling civil disobedience led to Oslo carving out generous tax incentives for e-car owners, giving them a free pass through the city's eye-popping tolls and offering free e-car charging parking spots for owners once they arrive.

And not only that. They get to ride on ferries for free and they get coveted passage through bus lanes in Norway's urban centers – all on top of a tax break at registration that can make electric cars as much as 30 percent cheaper than their gas and diesel driven cousins.
Still, some have tried to argue that the perks of this high-voltage revolution are getting a little too sweet. In October, Oslo published a budget that would have gutted tax breaks on electric cars that weigh more than two metric tons. But outcry prompted the incoming government to give that budget a miss, and instead promise to uphold the previous government's vow to preserve the current e-car incentive package until 2020.
And Bellona's love of the electric open road isn't confined to just Norway anymore. The group's original pluck is paying off in places as unlikely for e-cars as Russia.
This past June, Bellona gave the Park Inn hotel in Murmansk an e-car charger of its own – a follow up gift on an electric car trek Hauge mounted across Norway to Russia's Arctic capital in 2014, where he found it was hard to recharge his Tesla.
Now, Bellona has signed on with regional authorities in Murmansk to promote a series of charge stations to connect Russia's northwest to neighboring Norway and Finland.
True, charging stations are a small start in Murmansk, a city where there are fewer than 10 electric cars registered. But as Norways' roaring success with electric cars had showed so far, high-voltage dreams have come in smaller packages.

Solution .45 – Nightmares In The Waking State – Part II
by Nina Mende 8 September 2016
[schema type="review" name="Solution .45 – Nightmares In The Waking State – Part II " description="Label: AFM Records" author="Juho Karila" pubdate="2016-08-26″ ]
Solution .45 is a metal supergroup from Sweden, created by guitarist Jani Stefanovic (Miseration, Divinefire, Essence of Sorrow). Their current lineup includes vocalist Christian Älvestam (Miseration, ex-Scar Symmetry), guitarists Stefanovic and Patrik Gardberg (Torchbearer, The Few Against Many, Ammotrack), and drummer Rolf Pilve (Miseration, Essence of Sorrow, Stratovarius). This is their brand new album "Nightmares In The Waking State – Part II".
After Chistian Älvestam's departure from Scar Symmetry, I long had a sense that this wasn't the end of one of the most memorable and distinguishing vocalists in the metal scene. And it didn't take too long when he announced to have another melodeath project to continue from where he left and the debut album proved the wait to be worthwhile. Now, six years later, the band has released their third album which is a great leap towards a more unique sound and touch and the album is nothing to be compared to Scar Symmetry.
The intro track, Dim are the Pathways, reveals that this is going to be a massive record and listening to it won't be a simple deal. The Faint Pulse of Light underlines the statement and reveals that the album is the most ambitious one on Älvestam's career so far. Following the recent trend, the main focus of the song isn't on catchy guitar melodies and keyboard leads but rhythmic groove and almost etheric keys on the background, forming a sci-fi soundscape. The harmonics are there, hidden beneath the surface and forcing the listener to pay close attention or they'll be missed but the main point is in the overall sound, which is massive and immersive. Followed by Mind Mutation, the same thundering blast continues but this time a bit more melodic due a bit calmer chorus with clean singing.
Built on Sand takes another step further away from Scar Symmetry and reminds more of Meshuggah by being more progressive than the band's previous material and the melodic resposibility is left completely on the singer's shoulders. The song is also significantly slower than the previous ones and falls to the same problem as majority of mid-tempo metal songs by just lacking the elements to keep the thing intresting. Having complex rhythms and riffs just aren't enough to carry the listener over to the end when the band has two guitarists, who clearly could flavor the music with leads. Or even synths, which are given in small parts, yet failing to maintain enough hooks to save the song from being simply boring.
Inescapable Dream is my personal favorite of the album and it's also a turning point by being something different than the others. It's catchy, it's melodic and more Rock 'n' Roll than the rest of the tracks without too much techicality by following a pop-hit-schema. It's also something the fans of older material and Scar Symmetry would like in its upbeat groove and lighter tone, without compromising the sci-fi feel and soundscape of the album.
The Curse that Keeps on Giving leads us to a whole new direction once again. Being slower and beginning calm, it's one of the more progressive and emotional songs and plays with melodies maybe a bit more than the previous ones. Dynamically very diverse song, this is a prime example what the band could do at their best with a mid-tempo song as it's heavily loaded with an emotional charge and takes us away from the soundscape to break the musical line a bit; vividly reminding of Katatonia.
Rest of the album pretty much revolves around those archtypes that define Solution .45 in 2016 and I have to say that I'm pleased with what they're heading to. Nearly a flawless masterpiece, NitWS II. is an album I can recommend to the fans of modern metal as it's a great mix of modern progressive and traditional melodeath. A passage of natural progression as the band clearly makes effort in carving their own path. I'll be eagerly waiting to hear more from them.

Alden Richards Reveals Feeling of Pursuing Singing and Acting at the Same Time!
GMANetwork.com caught up with Alden Richards at the taping of "Mundo Mo'y Akin," a GMA primetime series which is set to end this week.
The top-rating program which also stars Louise delos Reyes, Lauren Young, Sunshine Dizon, Angelika dela Cruz, Gabby Eigenmann, Jaclyn Jose, among others, is Alden's second primetime project as lead star.
"For the record po, this is my longest soap so far sa GMA," declared the young actor. "Nag-umpisa kami noong March at ngayon pa lang matatapos. Ito rin yung masasabi kong pinakamagandang project ko so far."
Asked about how he feels now that the series is coming to an end, he said the feeling is bitter-sweet.
"Of course, on one hand, there is a feeling of sadness, pero dumarating talaga sa point ang ganito sa lahat ng mga soap opera. We [the cast] will see each other pa rin naman outside [of the show]. On the other hand, masaya ako kasi maganda ang naging performance ng show during its run in primetime," he said.
Alden and Louise were officially launched as a primetime love team in "One True Love" in 2012. Their characters as Tisoy and Elise, respectively, were followed by many viewers, most of whom are still having a hangover up to this day.
To Alden "Mundo Mo'y Akin" and "One True Love" are incomparable since each one is successful in different respects. "When it comes to longevity, 'yung 'Mundo Mo'y Akin' pero iba rin kasi ang 'One True Love' kasi dun talaga mas nakilala ang love team namin ni Louise [delos Reyes], he said. "Hanggang ngayon, maraming fans ng 'One True Love' ang solid pa rin sa love team namin; tinatawag pa rin nila kami ni Louise as 'Tisoy' at 'Elise.' Iba-ibang klase ng 'success' e," he said.
The actor admitted that during the first few taping days, he had problems differentiating his previous character from the present.
"When we started in March, nahirapan pa akong 'tumalon' from my character as 'Tisoy'. May times during the first few taping days na naipapasok ko pa yung pagiging 'Tisoy' ko sa character ni 'Jerome'. I had a hard time kasi there isn't much difference between these two characters except na si Tisoy was not given proper education, unlike Jerome who graduated from college," Alden shared.
"The important thing that I learned from the experience is that as an actor, one should not get too much attached to the character being portrayed. When you hear the director shout 'Cut!' you should be able to detach yourself from your character immediately," he added.
On the side, Alden Richards is also now a recording artist. He recently released an album under Universal Records, the sales of which exceeded the actor's own expectations. Does this mean he's going to seriously pursue this new career path?
"No po e. Kasi that was just one opportunity given to me by Universal Records. But if Universal would consider giving me another one, siguro I would still do it. But I'm really an actor by heart. Yung singing kasi, I just took a chance. Tiningnan ko kung ano ba ang magiging outcome if I venture into music. So far, OK naman. Sa experience ko sa mga album tours and mall shows the audience really made me feel special," shared Alden.
Meanwhile, as "Mundo Mo'y Akin" draws to a close, Alden Richards recalls his favorite scenes in the series.
"Yung mga breakup moments between me and Marilyn (Louise delos Reyes) and me and Darlene (Lauren Young) yung pinaka-paborito ko," said Alden. "Kasi sa totoong buhay kahit nakipaghiwalay na ako before, hindi naman ganun ka-heavy [yung break-up]. Dito kasi sa 'Mundo Mo'y Akin' pinaramdam sa akin ng mga eksena kung ano ang totoong feeling 'pag nandun ka sa situation na 'yun," said Alden.
Viewers are speculating on how the story of "Mundo Mo'y Akin" will end. Many are hopeful that it will be a happy ending for Jerome and Marilyn. Will it be so?


By the time we got into the line to take the Skyfari back to the Polar Bear Plunge, the crowds at the Zoo had grown. A lot longer line at the Skyfari was the first indication, but once off the ride, so were the numbers of people in front of the white bears.
This big guy decided that a sun bath would be a great idea, too. One improvement I noticed, since the Polar Bears moved into nicer quarters at the Zoo, was that their white fur didn't have as much green as it used to have. The chlorine always turned the bears' fur blue, or green.
From there, we made our way to an animal that I've never seen: the pandas. When we were here before, years ago, the pandas were never out. I don't believe I've ever seen them in other zoos, either. So the 20-25 minute wait was worthwhile. While standing in line, I got to talking with the people behind us. We had several places in common, where we've lived over the years. Small world!
This big fella decided to entertain us by rolling from one end of his enclosure to the other, right in front of the observation window!
This spoonbill entertained us by playing with a little piece of wood.
The gorilla habitat - Large, beautiful, green. This is what San Diego Zoo does best: shows off critters in an environment that is similar to what they'd live in, in the wild.
Look carefully. In this picture, under that pink "wheel" (on its side), is a hippo.
While standing in line, I got to talking with the people behind us. We had several places in common, where we've lived over the years. Small world!
I too was reminded of that recently. Picking up some items nearby, which had been advertised on Freecycle, I was chatting with the donor who was obviously from the US. When I asked where, I was told PA - a big State, where in PA? Near Philadelphia. When I drilled down a little deeper, turns out she is from Doylestown. Now if I had never bought that van, I still may not have known where that is. She was stunned to hear that I had been there.
I know I've shown Sea World in two separate places in this thread, but today's post will be regarding three of their shows, and one more ride. Sea World has gotten a bad rap in recent days, some folks blaming the training for the shows. Sea World is claiming that they are a rescue operations, training some of the creatures with love and positive reinforcement in order to show the public what we need to preserve.
Our first show this morning was the dolphin and small whale show, Blue Horizons. We were entertained, pre-show, by a singer-guitarist who attempted to get the audience involved. Then came the show. This year, there were things added that I had not seen in this show, 5 years ago: aerialists, and divers. I enjoyed the aerialists just as much as the dolphins doing the fun jumps, dives and twirls that they'd do in the wild.
The aerialists in the show were all portrayed as birds. There were real birds in the show -- some invited and trained by Sea World, others that I would term "freeloaders", looking for free fish food.
The small whales also did their thing in this show. I loved watching them jump, and trying to capture them in the photos at their peak.
After the Dolphin show, we were walking over towards Shipwreck Reef (thinking about lunch) when we saw that the line for the Skytower ride was almost non-existent. Yet the tower was working!
Beautiful views of the San Diego and Mission Bay area, yet one could only photograph through Plexiglas. In the foreground of the first photo, you see the Sea World parking lot (which was more than half-empty today), but in the distance, you can see the skyline of downtown San Diego.
We had lunch at Shipwreck Reef Cafe, and managed to find a picnic table in the shade. In this area of the park, there is also a white water rapids raft ride, called Shipwreck Rapids, but not wanting to get soaked, we just watched. Then we headed for the next show, a summer-only show called Cirque de la Mer. We wanted to see one of the Cirque shows, when we were in Las Vegas two weeks ago, but the prices were a bit steep for our budget. This show at Sea World filled in the gap, even though it was just a 25 minute show. Once again, there were some beautiful aerialists, great trampoline artists, good tumbling, and a few other good talents in these young people.
A trip to Sea World would be missing something without a trip either to see the orca whales in their pool, or by seeing the fabulous orca show, AKA "Shamu Show". We got there early, baking in the hot sun while waiting. I regret that I don't have nearly enough Shamu photos to choose from, though, as I had to change my camera battery in the middle of the show. A highlight of many Sea World shows, for many folks, is to sit in the Soak Zone and wait for the creatures to get you wet. In all shows today, we sat up high enough to be out of the Soak Zone (and in the Sweat Zone, because of the sun and humidity today).
Ours was a short day, but we headed home shortly before 2. We'd done what we wanted to do, and know that this fall, we may return on a weekend sometime to catch the Sea Lion Show, the sky bucket ride, and a few other things we've missed.
Renting a vehicle, locally - things learned!
With more family due in later (today), we decided a number of weeks ago to reserve a mini-van in order to haul everyone around (and their stuff). None of our own vehicles would comfortably hold 5 adult-sized people. Notice I used the word *comfortably*. Indeed, two of our vehicles will each seat 5. But when one is a teenaged girl, probably not. We also wanted luggage room, as we will be heading to Santa Ana (Orange County) as part of this trip.
As I've done for years, and we advocate on these forums, I shopped around for several months before we actually made the decision to rent and made the reservation. I checked prices on the different discount travel sites, the individual car rental agencies, and Costco Travel, and finally found a reasonable rate on a minivan. We didn't want to go with the same people we rented from, two years ago, because of the distance to pick it up and the fact that their vehicles are not the newer ones, plus the fact that as a local-only agency, we might be stranded if something went wrong with the vehicle.
Finally, we ended up going through Costco Travel, whose rates were a good 25% lower all around than any I had come up with. But then I had another issue: when you are renting from a non-airport agency, you contend with the fact that they are NOT open 24 hours for pickup and drop-off. So we had to figure out where to rent from that was open for pickup on a Saturday and to drop off after 3 on Saturday. The latter was impossible -- all of our local places are closed around 2 pm on Saturdays, most of them closed by noon. We ended up with Enterprise, but the need to keep the vehicle an extra day (more $$) because they can't let us drop off when they're closed.
This monstrosity is no bigger than our pickup; as a matter of fact, it's about a foot or so shorter in length, probably a few inches shorter in height in the back only because we have a camper shell on ours. It is loaded with a lot of bells and whistles. It will be fun to get to know the vehicle, and to drive a vehicle that's newer than 13 years old (our babies) for a week or so. Will keep you posted.
Update Sunday: it will be interesting for the rest of the summer. I broke my arm yesterday when I tripped and fell in the airport. It's just a hairline fracture but right at the joint. As a result, I am typing one-handed.
I can still do a lot, just with one hand.
On Sunday, we headed up for Buena Park to be able to do Knotts on Monday morning. Due to awful traffic, it took 2 hours to make the 90 min trip. It was stressful on all of us.
We settled in at Radisson Hotel, which added to the stress. They had our prepaid reservation, but when we went to bring things to the two rooms, three out of the four elevators were out of order! When we all tried to get wifi, we were unable to get devices to find a signal at all in the rooms. If that wasnt enough, we were given 4 bath towels but only one washcloth and one hand towel. For 3 people!
The pool was lovely...we had gone up early in order to use it. Four of the six said the water was a perfect temp, and the other two didn't get in it.
Dinner was down at Mrs. Knott's Fried Chicken. That's what everybody had except two. Dinner at $19.99 sounds expensive until you realize that you get both soup AND salad, your meal with your choice of vegies, and a choice of 5 desserts (pie or ice cream). It's about the best fried chicken in the USA.
The next morning, after breakfast at IHOP (the hotel charged $12 for their buffet), it was off to Knotts. Parking was $17 for the day. We met our son-in-law up there. Four or five in our party liked various thrill rides. I enjoyed visiting with my sister-in-law since she was not a thrill ride person and neither am I, even when not sporting an arm splint.
After a few of these, we all went on the Voyage of the Iron Reef, an interactive ride. However I let my Bro-in-law take my controls as my left hand wasn't up to the challenge.
Then it was a show. We did the Snoopy ice show, 30 minutes of fun. My daughter used to skate and discovered that someone from her home rink was in the show.
After the show, lunch and more rides. I rode the Sky Cabin while others did thrill rides, and my sis and bro in law rode with me. Great views!
We finally left about 7 pm , visited gift shops, and headed home. Got home about 10pm.
Here is another park that I have written about, before: San Diego Zoo's Safari Park, AKA "Wild Animal Park" to the locals who have lived here since forever! Rather than more about the same, though, I am going to talk about something we did on Wednesday that most of us had never done before: The Caravan Safari tour. This is a truck tour where they take you into the compound where the animals actually roam, and you ride in an open air truck. My sis-in-law decided to treat all of us to this tour in honor of my bro-in-law's birthday yesterday. It was so COOL!
You load the truck, get the safety spiel, and are taken out onto the compound first in the African area. There, one of the highlights was for everyone to get to feed a giraffe if they so desired. We weren't even sure, at first, that the giraffes were going to be interested.
We were able to see many other animals up close, such as the rhinos, endangered species in the deer family, and more. Incredible photo opportunities on this caravan, but there is also a photo caravan available .... for more $$$ of course than this one.
I had no idea that rhinos had hair on the edges of their ears, until I saw one up very close. Some folks got to reach out and touch this one, but I couldn't reach over comfortably because of my arm.
I also had no clue about the sheer size of giraffe feet. Just seeing them from the tram, or over the fence at the zoo, does not give you this close up view like the Caravan tour does.
There will be no Thursday report. Everyone has gone off to the beach. It's the same beach I wrote about earlier in this thread, and I have NO interest in getting sand into my splint!
This should conclude the StayCation report. I don't keep expense reports for these.
School starts in a couple of weeks for me. I will be starting it with a splint on my arm (broke the radial head on my right forearm) and being careful about my eyes. Yesterday I had to endure laser eye surgery to repair two tears on my left retina, both because I landed on my chin when I fell on Saturday. So no hiking, and my computer time is limited due to eyesight and arm issues.
Great report, so much to do in San Diego area. Your report gave a good 'Insider's Guide' to top attractions. So sorry to hear of your recent injuries, hope the recovery is quick! And I hope the start of your school year goes well.

We suggest you read Robert Kaplan's Balkan Ghosts to better appreciate the history and world forces that have shaped this important region. If you want to dig even deeper, another great choice is Black Lamb Grey Falcon by Rebecca West, who traveled in 1937 to all the republics that would become Yugoslavia. From her travels, West was able to predict that this region would be the catalyst for World War ll, which proved to be true. To delve further back into history, you can read Ivo Andric's The Bridge Over the Drina, which looks at the region under the rule of the Ottoman Empire in the 1500s. These books are fascinating reads sure to give you insight into the Balkans.
First Stop: Croatia
Your trip starts in Croatia, a country with a long and convoluted history. Croatia enjoyed a very brief period of independence as a kingdom from 925-1102 A.D before coming under the rule of Austrians while the coastal areas were sold to Venice in the 1400s. The food of Croatia, especially of the coastal region of Dalmatia, has been influenced by the long occupation of Venice, so has a lot of similarities to Italian food while maintaining its distinctly Dalmatian flavor profile. Dalmatia has a history of Catholicism as well, so you'll find churches in the red-tile-roofed towns we visit, filled with art influenced by many Italian schools of art.
As the Ottoman Empire spread north towards Europe, Croatia became a border region and Ottoman rule was firmly established by the 1500s. The Ottoman Empire fell in the late 1700s and the Hapsburg Austrians moved into the void. In 1914, in an event widely acknowledged to have sparked the outbreak of World War l, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, nephew of Emperor Franz Josef and heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was shot to death along with his wife by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo, Bosnia.
As WW1 came to an end, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was established. This lasted until WWII when the Axis occupation of Yugoslavia, starting in 1941, allowed the Croatian radical right Ustase to come into power and form the "Independent State of Croatia." Ultimately, a rival group, the anti-facist, communist-led Partisan movement led by Croatian-born Josip Broz Tito, became the dominant force in the region with support from Allied powers.
Tito went on after WWII to form the six-party state of the Republic of Yugoslavia comprised of Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzogovena, Montenegro and Macedonia. Although socialist and communist in nature, Tito kept his distance from the Soviet Union. Unlike any of the Eastern Bloc countries, the citizens of Yugoslavia were allowed to travel to almost any country because of their neutral politics starting in 1963. Many took advantage of this to work abroad and later return with substantial savings. You may meet older Croatians on your trip who consider the period from the 1960s to the 1980s as the best time in Croatia due to a good economy, free health care and education and freedom to travel.
When the Berlin Wall fell in November 1989, it was only days before Slovenia and Croatia stated their Independence from Yugoslavia. Slovenia had a brief "war" against the Serbs that lasted 10 days. Croatia was not so lucky and their war with Serbia lasted almost ten years. As the war ended, we returned for tours in 1998 to a new political reality: the Republic of Croatia!
Second Stop: Montenegro
After your time in Croatia, you venture to Montenegro—a stunning and mountainous country that borders on the Adriatic sea. Another one of the states of former Yugoslavia, with some parts of its history similar to that of Croatia, it managed to gain its independence gradually and peacefully. From 1993-2006 Montenegro was part of a loose union called "Serbia and Montenegro." Then, through EU rules, the people of Montenegro passed a referendum for independence in 2006 and became the new Republic of Montenegro. The economy is largely service-based with tourism playing a major role, as well as direct investment from Europe. It's a popular destination for Russian tourists and other eastern European nations.
Third Stop: Albania
Next up is Albania, a country whose history is very different and thus will look and feel quite different from the previous two countries you visit. Albania was also part of the Ottoman Empire, but this rule lasted until 1912—around 150+ years longer than that of interior Croatia!
The Ottoman Empire made the mistake of siding with the Axis powers in WWI, and at the end of the war, the empire eventually evolved to become the modern country of Turkey. Because of the long Ottoman rule in Albania, the cultural and architectural impacts of that period remain much more evident than in any of the former Yugoslav states to this day. The food in particular still retains much of the influence of the Ottoman period, so is similar to the cuisine of Turkey. You'll enjoy dishes made with spiced meats, roasted vegetables, eggplant, and yogurt salads.
The Italians also left their cultural and culinary mark on Albania due to their brief occupation of the country just prior to WWII. You can expect to see delicious cured meats and pasta dishes brought over from this time period. With the collapse of the Axis powers at the end of the war, Albania became a communist state led by the iron-handed Enver Hoxta, who ruled until 1985 when he died. While he was a communist, he aligned himself more with China than the Soviet Union and remained largely isolationist in his views. Hoxta had no architectural taste and in the 1960s built thousands of ugly concrete apartment buildings. Paranoid of the world in general, he also built thousands of concrete bunkers to defend the country and these dot the countryside to this day.
Visits and tourism to Albania was forbidden until the early to mid-1990s. Even today, few people have Albania on their travel bucket list. It's a pity because it's a fascinating place with a rich and complex history where people are welcoming, not to mention the spectacular mountain ranges as well as a beautiful coastline. As the 25th most-visited country in Europe know that your visit will be much appreciated. You will find a less-developed tourism infrastructure here compared to many places, but also a kind of excitement as a yet mostly undiscovered Albania emerges onto more lists of popular travel destinations.
Visiting three Balkan countries on one adventure will provide you with a great introduction to this fascinating and beautiful part of the world! Cross borders, explore more and discover what makes each country unique within their interconnected histories on our Three-Country Kayak Tour.

The Service Planning and Coordination Division (SPCD) assists all people eligible for DDA services to receive the services identified in their person-centered Individual Service Plan (ISP). This division plans, coordinates and facilitates the provision of quality services and supports, reviews the implementation and delivery of services and supports identified in the ISP, takes corrective action as necessary, assists with problem solving, and advocates for the person and his/her family. The Service Planning and Coordination Division (SPCD) uses a Person-Centering Thinking approach in planning and monitoring services with people who have been found eligible for supports funded through DDA.
Service coordination is at the core of the DDS service delivery systerm by identifying their respective person-centered Individual Support Plan (ISP).
Person-centered thinking is a philosophy behind service provision that supports positive control and self-direction of people's own lives. DDS' Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) is working to implement person-centered thinking through training sessions and other agency wide initiatives. Teaching and supporting the use of person-centered thinking skills means that it is likelier that service plans will be used and acted on, that updating service plans will occur "naturally," needing less effort and time, and that the person's ability to lead a fulfilling, independent life is maximized.
Read more about Person Centered Thinking on the DDS website and on the Support Development Associates website.
The Individual Support Plan (ISP) document all of the supports, activities, and resources each person is receiving in detail. The ISP is developed to record decisions and agreements made during a person-centered planning process. The personal preferences and needs of the person are the key considerations in the development of all ISPs.
The person and their team/circle of support are responsible for developments of the ISP. This team is composed of people who are important to the person, care about them and may also include specialists, consultants or staff from provider agencies, or other public or private agencies.
The ISP contains information on what is important to and for the person and this should be reflected in the goals and objectives contained within the written plan.
Utilizing the Person Centered Thinking tools and processes the Service Coordinator facilitates the development of the annual individual service plan (ISP) per department policies and procedures. Participates in team meetings, court hearings, and service planning with external community entities involved in the person's life, this may include: the legal system, Child and Family Services Administration, Department of Mental Health, University Legal Services, Quality Trust, Housing Authority, Adult Protective Services, etc.
Service Coordinators complete ongoing monitoring of supports provided based on the department policies and procedures. They document contacts made with the person or on behalf of the person to ensure the service plan is effectively implemented and adequately addresses the needs of the person. When the needs or status of the person change they are responsible for ensuring that changes are made to the ISP that reflect the change and specify any new or changed support options being provided. Service coordinators provide linkages to medical, social, vocational and residential services and other supports of services to meet the person's needs.

We are expecting to receive some rain, sleet and snow over the next few days in the Washington, D.C. area, so where should you take your vehicle after the storm passes? Of course we are advocates for hand washing vs. automatic car washes, but why does it matter?
After it snows, we often see many cars waiting in line for the inexpensive automatic car wash. Bringing your vehicle to one of these locations is tempting, given the ease of the drive-thru for only a few dollars. However, it should be noted that many of these establishments often present dangers to your car's paint.
Side note: Ask about receiving Sportcoat Pro which has self-cleaning effects and helps repel water and snow! You also receive 1 year warranty. Click here.
For starters, drive-thru car washes can leave scratches and swirls in your paint. We have had countless vehicles roll through our many locations with damaged paint as a result of the brushes at these automatic car washes. These brushes used to scrub your vehicle are not always cleaned – especially when there is no break in the traffic waiting for a wash. After a snow storm, all of these cars have salt, dirt and ice accumulated over the car, and the brushes can hang onto that which can scratch your paint.
In addition, the drive-thru areas are designed to accommodate all sizes of cars, trucks, vans and SUVs. As a result, the brushes may "scrape" harder for a car than an SUV, given the size difference.
SPORTCOAT PRO: Upgrade For Only $100 & Receive a 1 Yr Warranty!

Jim Page, President and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama, has been appointed to serve on the board of directors for the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE), a press release announced Tuesday.
The ACCE is an international organization based in Virginia that works to serve and support chambers of commerce all over North America. The initiative is comprised of over 9,000 chamber-related professionals who make up more than 1,300 chambers.
Appointments come from within the organization, and Page got his recommendation straight from the top. Incoming ACCE Chairman Jay Byers, who also serves as the President and CEO of the Greater Des Moines Partnership, appointed Page to the board.
Page's arrival comes with high praise.
"We are pleased to welcome Jim to the ACCE Board of Directors," Sheree Anne Kelly, President and CEO of ACCE, said in the press release. "He joins the organization's volunteer leadership at a time when the role of chambers of commerce has never been more critical."
For nearly a decade, Page has made the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama a staple of West Alabama business culture. He's been doing work with chambers since 2002 and has held numerous leadership roles in this area during that tenure.
Most notably, Page was formerly the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama and is a current member of the board of directors of the Business Council of Alabama, which operates as the chamber of commerce for the entire state.
Of ACCE's membership base, over 50 organizations are represented. The association sees membership from some of "the world's largest and most influential regional chambers of commerce." Facebook and Comcast are strategic partners for ACCE, and other corporate sponsors include the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Grow with Google, Power 10 Capital Campaigns and Ernst & Young.
"In these unprecedented times, Jim's expertise will help our volunteer leadership address today's most pressing challenges, reimagine chambers and shape the future of our work," Kelly said.
According to the press release, ACCE's mission is to "support and develop chamber professionals to lead businesses and their communities." In short, the organization works to find and report local trends, assist in business operations, identify and assist in achieving personal goals within a chamber and help chambers with whatever they need to thrive within and for their communities.

Out of my way damn cyclist!
Discussion in 'Commuting' started by magnatom, 20 Apr 2010.
You just have to get past a cyclist. If you can't you, at the very least, have to hit your horn at them in frustration, at least twice. You must do this even if traffic is light, you can pass them 4 seconds later, and you know that there is always a queue of traffic ahead where the cyclist will catch you up.
"have you taken your cycling proficiency test"......HA HA HA.
I dont always agree with you on your vid's mag but this guy was potty...the road was so quiet and he sped of at least 40mph in a resi zone.
I live very close-by and have seen a couple of similar incidents on the same stretch.....not involving me I hasten to add! (yet).
Yeah. That's a good 'un.
Yes I was in polite mode yesterday. I even gave him a wee wave!
Point them to the nearest airport runway or racetrack, that might be wide enough for them .
That road is incredibly wide. Why didn't he just overtake? I assume that poor reading of the road ahead meant he gained on you too suddenly and had to brake, when a small adjustment of his speed (maybe even - gosh - to somewhere below the speed limit) would have allowed him to pass at an appropriate place without too much effort.
Honestly, if he is having difficulties overtaking on a road this size in a titchy Polo, how does he cope on normal roads?
He looks like a young lad Mags. Lacking your worldly wisdom. Llet him go.
I hate to see drivers blowing their horns at cyclists because it can alarm and distract them and that can lead to accidents. Don't they realise that horns should only be used during emergency situations.
I had a bus driver blow his horn at me last week,because I took primary thru a pinch point and wouldn't let him squeeze through.Got to the RAB me going straight over 2nd exit him going left,he then tried to left hook me before beeping again so he got the 2 finger salute(I'm normally mild mannered but he really annoyed me ) I must have held him up for all of 5 seconds-moron.
nice one, what a tool!
They almost certainly don't know/think about how loud a horn is outside the car and in close proximity.
I had a Merc driver hoot me because I moved in to primary to go down hill through a pinch point. I was doing just under 29 in a 30 zone. When I caught up with him and asked why, he said I should be in the cycle lane and I would get myself killed by staying in the centre of the road !


Why is Chick-fil-A getting into meal kits?
Earlier this week, Chick-fil-A said it would start selling meal kits at its Atlanta-area restaurants in the hopes that it could expand the offering nationwide.
In this week's edition of the Restaurant Business podcast "A Deeper Dive," Sara Monnette, vice president of innovation forRB sister company Technomic, helps explain why Chick-fil-A is dipping its toes into such a different market as meal kits.
She also talks about Chick-fil-A's amazing success as well as the chicken market overall.
In addition, RB Editor-at-Large Peter Romeo talks about some of the times that restaurant founders and executives have gotten themselves into trouble with their mouths. The stories come to mind following the controversy surrounding Papa John's and its founder, John Schnatter.

Q: Re-factoring Web API controllers using Interfaces and/or Dependency Injection I have a bunch of Web API controllers that generally look like this example:
  public class ProductsController : ApiController
    {
       private readonly context db = new context();
        public Product GetProductById(int id)
        {
            var product = db.products.FirstOrDefault((p) => p.Id == id);
            var category = db.category.FirstOrDefault((p) => p.Id == id);
            if (product == null)
            {
                throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
            }
            if (category == someCategory)
            {
                throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest,new HttpError( "Custom Message"));
            }
            if (itsrainingToday == SomeOtherSpaghettiCode)
            {
                throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, new HttpError("Some other mess"));
            }
           //and so on and so forth
            return product;
        }
    }

As you can see, this is a big ugly mess, esp. if you have hundreds of rules and dozens of controllers.
What is an efficient approach to factor out these "business rules" so that they can be applied to multiple controllers with overrides?
  I am looking for a good design pattern and an example based on this generic code.
I am aware of Unit of Work, Unity, and other methodologies.  Just need some guidance as to which path to follow.

A: Take a look at the Specification pattern.  You could place one rule in each specification, such as the NotNullProductRule, and chain together the needed specifications in the controller.


Anti-check chess is essentially just chess with the rules of check and checkmate inverted. It gets played in Birmingham school chess teams but doesn't appear to have any information about it on the net.
Board set up as normal but the white king, instead of starting on e1, starts on d6 and the black king, instead of starting on e8, starts on d3.
The aim of the game is still to checkmate the opponents king and, if in check, one must move out of check.
However, the definition of "check" is that the king isn't being attacked and the definition of "checkmate" is that the king isn't being attacked and cannot move into being attacked.
Kings also cannot take pieces.
The more pieces your opponent has on the board, the more hope of your king being attacked, thus, taking pieces is generally bad.
If the opponent's king stays in front of the pawns, forcing it away from being attacked can be difficult. Thus, a good tactic is to push your pawns far out beyond the king – moving twice instead of once on the first pawn move is almost always preferred.
Leave a gap in your pawn blockade. A row of pawns in front of your opponents king can be very strong – he cannot take them and move into being attacked. However, the strength of this is negated if all of your pieces are hard to manipulate into not attacking your opponents king. For this reason, a gap on the A or H files can be useful to let your pieces slip in front of the pawns.
Trapping your opponent's rook with your king. If you manage this early, it can be a long time before you're checked again, allowing you to focus on your own tactics.
