Heathrow expansion: what do you think?

Should this be even bigger...?

Virgin airlines has asked its customers what they think about airport expansion. It's a nice question to ask customers as they gain any advantage whilst the community pay the price. However, more and more people are worried about not only the local environment but the global impact of massive aviation expansion.

Have your say also consider taking part in the govornments questionaire.

How can govornment aviation and climate policies be reconciled?

Very nicely worded, isn't it? And I quote:

"Virgin Atlantic believes that additional take-off and landing slots should be provided at Heathrow and a third runway should be delivered, provided these developments can take place within strict environmental limits.

We believe that the expansion of Heathrow will reduce passenger delays both in the air and on the ground, reduce congestion within the terminals and help improve passengers’ overall airport experience."

Who could possibly object to that leading question?!

What Virgin do not tell you is that the so-called 'strict environmental limits' are out-of-date, unhealthy and inappropriate. BAA, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic (to name a few) and the British Government are ignoring the latest research on noise levels (ANASE Oct 2007).

Furthermore, air quality around Heathrow airport has not meet EU standards for the past 5 years, so there's no hope of it improving after doubling the number of passengers at Heathrow airport!

Oh, and the consultation does not include climate change. We are told that, as residents, we are only being consulted on local issues (noise and air quality) and global concerns will be dealt with in the international arena!

Basically, the increased aviation emissions will be traded away on the EU ETS.

BTW, the online process for the Government Questionnaire does not allow you to skip questions. If you want to write to the Department for Transport directly with climate change concerns, try their email address:

Deadline for responses is tomorrow, Wednesday 27 February 2008 in London.

P.S. The Battle of Heathrow is on the front line in action to combat climate change. I am very pleased to see you are covering it.

Ann Coulter a no-show at raucous but peaceful Berkeley rally

Antifascist and anarchist protesters turned a crowd of students protesting Yiannopoulos in February into a violent mob breaking windows and setting fires, and police advised university officials to cancel his speech. Six people were arrested - one for obstructing an officer and wearing a mask to evade police, and another for possessing a knife.

A rally in support of Ann Coulter has wrapped up in Berkeley, and the conservative provocateur did not make an appearance despite hints from her and hopes from supporters that she might. "Berkeley College Republicans do not want to endanger people's lives so because of the university's unwillingness to do their job we are forced to cancel the event", Troy Worden, president of the campus Republicans, said Wednesday.

Coulter said in an email to The Associated Press that she might stroll across campus to greet supporters and "stroll around the graveyard of the First Amendment". Significant violence never ultimately erupted, and some attendees expressed regret that Coulter never appeared. They clashed with a group of Trump critics who called themselves anti-fascists.

Of course, the security fee practice serves as a perverse incentive for those who wish to disrupt or have canceled events by conservatives, since threats of protests and disruptions prior to the event can necessitate the security fees and, often, the eventual cancellation of the event as a result of this penalty-the so-called 'heckler's veto.' If there are legitimate security concerns over potential reactions by protestors to the speaker's words, that is an issue that can addressed through law enforcement, suspensions, or other appropriate punishment for offenders.

The conservative commentator said that the University of California, Berkeley canceled her event. Civic Center Park, a city park several blocks from the campus.

There's no Ann Coulter speech planned.

Dallas police: Firefighter shot, transferred to hospital
Police brought in the robot to search the home where they believed the shooting suspect was hiding and came across the two bodies. The paramedic, William An, and the neighbor, whose name hasn't been released, were rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

But fear not, Anne Coulter's speech will still be read, technically. Another group called the Orange County Alt Right Group planned a rally in the same place.

"I don't like Ann Coulter's views but I don't think in this case the right move was to shut her down", said 24-year-old grad student Yevgeniy Melguy, who held a sign earlier in the day saying "Immigrants Are Welcome Here".

Kamau Bell, host of the show "United Shades of America", declared on Thursday the cancellation of college speakers like Ann Coulter is a matter of protecting students from so-called hate speech and has nothing to do with free speech.

Berkeley College Republicans filed a lawsuit on Monday claiming that University of California at Berkeley violated students' rights to free speech when it failed to provide a safe venue for conservative firebrand Ann Coulter's speaking event. It is certainly inequitable that the victims of the protestors-the groups who sponsor the speakers whose events are disrupted-now have to bear the cost for the actual or imagined unlawful behavior of protestors who have made a decision to suppress thought they hate. The tension illustrated how Berkeley has emerged as a flashpoint for extreme left and right forces amid the debate over free speech in a place where the 1960s US free speech movement began before it spread to college campuses across the nation.

Rathi actually had the nerve to tout his support for free speech in the exact same piece where he seems to suggest that it's a good thing to limit speech when it comes to people like Yiannopoulos and Coulter - and he somehow thought that this kind of logically inconsistent drivel was actually cohesive enough to publish. Far-right and far-left groups have been implicated in multiple violent confrontations.

The police said they were limiting access to one of the university's main plazas and searching individuals for "restricted items" such as "weapons (real and simulated), improvised weapons, tasers, hard plastic/metal/bottles, chains, banners/signs, explosive and incendiary devices".

PAST JOURNAL ENTRY: 6/18/07...filling in the gaps

Trigger Warning!!!

I am feeling panicked and almost terrified to share this with you.  I can feel myself start to go away...my fingers are tingly, things are beginning to become echoy.  Coleen, just stay here, stay here.  I actually wrote a story about my life of abuse using excerpts from 2007 forward when the flashback really became intense and I was still working full time.  Although the following is out of sequence from my past journal entries, I think that it will help explain what was going on in the last entries.  This was written on 6/18/07 when I remembered what occured.

Gary...I was surprised by my reaction to talking about “the medium on the hill” church. I remember it was an evening service (I think a Friday, I don’t remember going to school the next day) in a small church on some sort of residential or resort grounds. In the front was a podium and two kneelers behind. I remember being able to get candy and maybe a word puzzle book at the liquor store just before the turn off PCH. I had to wear a dress even though not all women did. Maye went with us most of the time. I remember, I was the only child there because my mother and Maye made special arrangements because usually children as young as I was did not stay. There were some teenagers there.

The woman’s voice scared me because she was almost shouting and quite flamboyant. Sort of like the Pentecostal churches. She would give a “message,” there was music and time for prayer. During most of it, I sat on the floor coloring, completing the puzzles or reading, so I really did not hear much of what was going on. It seemed like I blocked it out because I remember that I knew the reason that I was there was to receive prayer. Prayer for others, I saw included laying on of hands and what must have been some type of tongues. It scared me. I also remember that I did not want to go up there. I felt like I knew I was going to be hurt physically. Felt like I had to be dragged by my mother and Gene gave me that look. I felt absolutely terrified, panicked and wanted to run, but I knew that two of the men would run after me. Having all those people encircle me and touch me to pray really freaked me out and what they said scared me especially since I did not understand much of it.

Apparently, my mother had spoken with the woman before because she knew what Maye, Gene and my mother wanted her to pray for me. She called me evil and that my family stated that I was evil because I did not follow my parents’ directions and rules and rejects father. I remember feeling angry that she referred to Gene as my parent and father. She added that she also knows because of her special gift from God that I was extremely stubborn and something to the effect of defiant. I don’t remember what was exactly said, but this is the gist of what I remember, but I am using adult terms.

After what seemed like a really long time of prayer, in which, I was sore from kneeling and my neck being pushed down as someone put their hand on my head and as they got tired they began leaning on my head. She stated that the devil was inside and was stubborn to leave, but needs to leave so that the evil inside of me would leave too. To me that meant I would no longer be evil. (I’ve had lost of slide show type flashbacks the weekend which have been quite disturbing and I feel like I really need to talk and really don’t want to because I keep thinking that I’m making it up…like I can’t believe that they would be involved in a cult like church. Also, that there has been so much that I’ve remembered already makes it hard to believe that something happened here too. I do know that I felt extremely terrified when we talked about it at the end of session on Wednesday. Every time, I think about the church, I get spacey, dizzy, buzzy and numb.)

After the prayer, I don’t know what happens next, but I know I am going to feel physical pain, where I don’t know. I kept thinking I’m going to get hurt after they pray. I remember thinking of running, but knew if I ran they would catch me and the pain would be worse. I remember wanting my mother to protect me, confused that she was allowing this, even made arrangements for it and being really angry at her for being a part of this, having no one to turn to or to explain things. Gene and my mother even helped them hurt me. I don’t know how. All I know right now is that I felt a lot of physical pain, but I don’t even know where. But, I can remember being inside the church, some of what people including myself was wearing, the odors especially of the incense (and perfumes, colognes, candles burning, and the wood of the building and pews), can hear the crickets and frogs outside, etc…I am absolutely terrified. (I’ve been having nightmares about the church and have not slept the last two nights very well. I had difficulty falling asleep, which is not the norm for me. I’ve been falling asleep around 3 am. I really don’t like not knowing.)

Flashbacks include: There is a table with a purple cloth covering it. The “medium” is wearing a long purple and black dress. I’m on the table naked…someone holding my arms down and someone holding my feet and legs to the table. A choice was given for me to either be held down or tied down…I don’t understand. I don’t know who got to make the decision. I’m extremely embarrassed…exposed…buttocks healing from bruises, various stages…Everyone in the church can see me. At first I could leave my underwear on, but the “medium” sees some of the bruises showing from my white lacey edged underwear. The “medium” says that my mother and Gene did not do enough…and this is such a difficult case that the whole church needs to help…rejection of parents is the same as rejecting god. she wanted me to cry and then I would stop being hurt, but I couldn’t and I was trying…so I need to bleed…don’t know how, where or with what…who is holding me…suggested salt to absorb and protect me from evil…basin of water…

(just vague flashes during the weekend and as I am trying to fall asleep. Could not even nap even with my PRNs. Somewhere in the middle of the events, I go completely away and wake up at home the next morning hoping it was a dream, but it wasn’t. Feeling really overwhelmed, panicked and terrified to talk about this, but I do want to know more. Feeling really crazy and in disbelief…I’m sure I’m making this up. I’m really quite terrified and don’t know what to do or what is going on. Feeling really crazy, flooded and overwhelmed.)

Remember these are events that I remembered in June of 2007 and are not currently occuring.

I am so very sorry that you were so abused by those who professed to be servants of our Heavenly Father. Be assured that He was more disturbed by these things than you were, and it will be as it should be in the end.

Thank you FishHawk,

I know that God was not only disturbed, but angry and there to comfort me. It is however, a long road of healing.

Garnet, A Ghost Town Today

Montana has had a lot of underground resources over the years. Some have been depleted and others are no longer of value. There was once copper in Butte and Anaconda, there is still chrome in the mountains in Stillwater County, and gold has had it's days in a number of locations.

While we were visiting at Paws Up, we traveled just 12 miles through the back country to the former town of Garnet.
Gold was the resource of interest which was depleted around the turn of the century(1900). As you can see from these pictures, the city is depleted now as well. After spending time here, you do wish that you could have been here during it's peak.

Some of the details about Garnet where found on this as we entered the city. If you are interested in more information, go to DOUBLE CLICK IF YOU WANT TO READ THE DETAILS

Course PSC Registers and Other Corporate Aspects of the Small Business Enterprise and Employment Act 2015

This course has been updated to include a discussion of the likely impact of the Fourth Money Laundering Directive (due to be implemented on 26th June 2017) on PSC filings and the enforcement position to date.

As of 6th April 2016, all UK companies and LLPs (with some limited exceptions) were required to create and maintain a register of persons who have significant influence or control (PSCs) under the Small Enterprise and Employment Act 2015. In simple corporate structures, these persons will be those holding more than 25% of the shares. However, indirect interests held through more complex corporate structures are also included in the new regime, together with generically other persons of significant influence or control. The legislation covers companies but also affects trusts, partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships and many charitable entities.

From 30th June 2016, companies were required to make their PSC Registers public at Companies House when their Confirmation Statement is due (the replacement for the Annual Return). It is a criminal offence for companies not to maintain a PSC Register.

Persons with significant influence or control over a UK company can be from any jurisdiction and be investigated through any foreign entity. PSCs are themselves under an obligation to supply UK companies with their details if they have not received a notice from the company. It is a criminal offence not to supply their details and in addition, PSCs may ultimately be prevented from selling their shares or receiving any dividends if they fail to comply with these new provisions.

This course will tell you what you need to know about this new regime (examining the legislation, the statutory guidance and the non-statutory guidance) enabling you to advise your corporate clients and other clients who may be PSCs. The course will also briefly cover other key corporate aspects of the Small Business Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 including the Payment Practices and Policies Reporting Regulations.

Whisky Review: Faultline Blend

While it's become increasingly common for stores to offer exclusive cask picks, very few have gone so far as to construct their own blends. It's both more technically challenging, as flavors need to be balanced while being conscious of the price of the components, and riskier as it requires buying much more whisky than the several hundred bottles that a single cask usually produces. However the folks at K&L Wines decided to take the plunge and release a blend under their Faultline label.

This whisky is bottled at a solid 50%, without coloring and probably without chill filtration given the proof.

I got this as part of a split with Michael Kravitz and MAO, who should have their own reviews up at the same time.

Faultline Blended Whisky

Nose: mossy/vegetal peat, a little seaweed, ginger snaps, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, light grain and malt, bourbon cask berries and oak, vanilla. After adding a few drops of water, the peat becomes smokier and joins up with the oak to give an incense note.

Taste: basic malt and grain sweetness coupled with light berries and mild oak tannins throughout, peat pops out around the middle and rides on top while some sherry and chocolate plus more oak and berries emerge around the back. After dilution, the sherry spreads across the palate and gives it a thicker feel, while the peat retreats and integrates with the sherry and oak.

Finish: peat, oak, berry, chocolate, and malt/grain residue,

I have to hand it to the Davids, this is a rather well-constructed blended whisky at an eminently affordable price point. With that said, it only hit that point after I'd had the sample open for a number of months - when I first cracked the cap it was almost all young Ledaig assaulting my senses, which was rather overwhelming. With time the peat has settled down and integrated, providing a more pleasant experience overall. Now it's somewhere in the ballpark of Springbank, Highland Park, or Talisker. Speaking of which, adding a little bit of extra malt can really smooth it out - I particularly enjoyed adding a touch of Highland Park 15 Year, which amped up the sherry character and provided a bridge to the noisier Ledaig peat.

The closest comparable blend I can think of is Isle of Skye 8 Year, which packs a similar amount of peat at a similar price point, but at a reduced proof. All said and done, I think I would give a bit of an edge to the Faultline, simply because of the higher alcohol content letting it stretch further. I'll probably throw in a bottle the next time I order from K&L. For $25 it's hard to go far wrong as long as you enjoy some peat in your whisky.

#Hotness - Wedding Edition

June is the most popular month for weddings and we always want you to have some of the most stylish ideas for your big day.  Look at this first 1.....

Is he the cutest or WHAT?  Yes!  Take this piece of original advice and add this touch to your ceremony.  Here's a DIY tip:  You can use any size board and paint it with chalkboard paint yourself!

Now ladies I'm always one to wear a heel even to the grocery store.  But on that very special day you just simply get a little tired and not to mention all your ladies in waiting and your mom.  Wouldn't it be nice to sport these little cute lace sox after the cake has been cut and bouquet has been tossed?

What a fabulous way too exit your night time reception!!!  Sparklers will make your pictures POP, trust me you won't be sorry.

The wonderful keepsake idea in having your guest sign in using these rocks instead of a traditional guest book.  You can use these at your office, in your home or garden and have a wonderful reminder of that oh so special moment in time.  Pure genius!!

One of the biggest task in wedding planning is the dreaded seating chart.  Well this little simplistic idea that I found on Pintrest will save you much headache and hassle.

Of course hiring a planner is always best but in these times of limited funds a girl has got to be creative.

Always remember you can contact our good friend over at WedIt.Com  to handle getting your wedding memories on video too.  It's a nice personal service that you can share with family and friends.

Game 230: Temple @ Cincinnati

This is not the same Temple that I watched lose 65-0 in Madison ten years ago. This program has progressed from whispers surrounding the termination of the football program to last week’s first defeat of rival Penn State since 1941. Suddenly, Cincinnati had to be on high alert. A few sprinkles kept tailgating lots from filling as […]

  Nippert Stadium possesses a charm that few stadiums can match. Built in 1915, it has maintained an old-world appeal with its classic early-century brickwork and wrought-iron entryways. Sandwiched amongst a variety of campus buildings, Nippert Stadium offers some of the most unique surroundings in college football. This venue proves, however, that charm can be intertwined […]

Wisconsin had some deep wounds in their playing style. An inept offense was being covered by a band-aid of special teams, defense, and a heavy reliance on their Heisman trophy candidate, Ron Dayne. For Wisconsin’s last two opponents, the band-aid was strong enough to hold. However, the Cincinnati Bearcats not only located the protective covering, […]

Many factors contributed to the dreariness of this game. Being a mid-November game was the first contributor. The day was dark, cold, and almost eerie.

Infinity Class Satellite.

This is my first ever large Blacktron 1 creation. I don't often build Blacktron 1, but sometimes I just get hit with an urge. I also have 3 Blacktron 1 sets now, and having more Blacktron 1 has made me want to build more.
Clocking in at 128 studs wide, it is my widest ship ever. It also qualifies it as a ship (As can be seen here, in the BIG SHIPtember poster) I built it for SHIPtember, but totally forgot to post it here.
I am not happy with how the center section turned out, but right now my Lego is packed up, for I am moving at the end of the week. Still don't know how long it will take me to actually redo it. The ship has been built for over a month now....

Hair Loss? How To Resolve This

Hair loss is a common problem that occurs in women. It seems to have a lot of maintenance and a range of ways that is done to reduce the amount of hair loss. But why still a lot just strands of hair are falling while combing the hair huh?

Sometimes, the hair loss is visible while washing the hair and also being combed hair.The cause of hair loss is increasingly diverse, is no longer just a matter of lack of care.

But now you don't have to worry anymore. Because hair loss can be reduced by applying this way on a regular basis every day or every week ya ...

Learn about the types of hair loss

You need to know the rontokmu of the root hair or because it broke. Here's how easy;pull one hair strands. If the direct loss from the root, root hair of his mark to dinutrisi. If the loss is due to a broken middle of hair, brittle hair and strands of his mark needs to be fixed.

Say No To Junk Food!

It turns out fast food isn't good enough to preserve the beauty and health of hair lho.We recommend that you replace junk food with protein-rich foods such as wheat,brown rice, eggs, and others. Expand the drinking water because water will helpstrengthen the hair root.

Avoid Excess Dietary

Strict Diet are you doing can cause loss of hair on the lho in your head. This is because the hair gets less intake of nutrients it needs to keep roots strong.

Stress? No!

If you're feeling stressed and depressed, pull the breath in deeply and slowly until thehembuskan stresmu level is reduced. Meditation or yoga is also highly recommended.Because stress can trigger rontoknya your beautiful hair.

The correct treatment to the hair

We recommend that you avoid washing your hair frequently or yawning hair with hot water and dry it with a blow dryer. Because the heat will damage the protein in the hair strands that we often know as keratin. Keratin is broken resulting in hair loss due tobroken as well as branched hairs. Use shampoos that can restore strength naturalkeratin on hair like Dove Total Damage Treatment containing Keratin Repair. Also, don't be too often tie up the hair. Let your hair breathe so that its power is always awake.

Use The Right Products

Everyone certainly had a taste and tendencies each in choosing products or other hair care shampoo. But it's good you know and critiquing what content there is in yourshampoo. Like Dove Hairtherapy reserved for cases of hair loss from the root trichazolewhich contain substances, nourishing your hair from the roots and making it strong to the end, serves not only to cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly, but also preventshair loss.

How? Quite easy is not a way of coping with hair loss? Let's start from changing bad habits for hair.

Pelosi Blames Accelerated Spending On Toyota Brand Gavel

Runaway Budget Deficit Has Increased 388% Under The Japanese Produced Hammer

Washington D.C. (CHN) - Nancy Pelosi, the first woman speaker of the House, took over the podium in 2006 after a sweeping mid-term victory by House and Senate Democrats. Pelosi
promised that business as usual would change and that there would be "No new deficit spending, no new bridges to nowhere, and no heaping mountains of debt piled on our children".

But the past four years share little resemblance to that original fiscal promise as record breaking Congressional spending has sped the deficit to staggering all time highs.

Pelosi answered critics earlier this week after bringing down her gavel on Health Care Legislation that many think will create further out of control spending that could crash the U.S. Economy.

"This gavel just takes off; sometimes there are legislative sessions and votes taken that I am powerless to stop," said a frustrated Pelosi.

Toyota has admitted the malfunction and has finally issued a recall on the Speaker's gavel. Toyota officials were quick to argue that the failure is isolated and OK'd continued pounding with all other models.

The gavel in question was built in the Fort Branch, Indiana plant in 2005. Recently, another gavel from that factory is reported to have malfunctioned in a San Antonio District Courtroom. Judge Hirum Windsel told CHN last Friday that "he brought his courtroom to order 375 times and rendered 820 decisions prior to taking 36 lunch recesses'. While he was very satisfied with his courtrooms efficiency, he is scheduled to have an MRI done on his right hand for possible stress fractures.

Additional concerns have been raised about the newly designed 'hybrid gavels'. The hybrid models generate kinetic energy from each strike and store the energy to operate a completely concealed Pez dispenser. Claims of projectile Pez have been brushed aside by Toyota management as operator error.

Nancy Pelosi + hand job.

I dont think that Toyota is going to get off easy on this one. Those acceleration problems just are not going away.

Must be all that poundin.

Dear Go Spurs,

Comerica Bank Ranks Highly in 2015 American Banker/Reputation Institute Survey of Bank Reputations

Comerica Bank ranks No. 6 among customers in the latest American Banker/Reputation Institute survey of bank reputations. The 2015 ranking is 4.52 percent higher than a year ago.

“America’s most reputable banks recognize that it’s not enough to demonstrate strong financial performance,” says Brad Hecht, VP and Chief Research Officer at Reputation Institute. “The other key drivers of reputation in banking and financial services are products and services, the workplace, and the fairness, openness and transparency in the way that companies govern.”

Among customers, Comerica ranked No. 2 in Governance and Performance, No. 3 in Citizenship, and No. 5 in Products, Workforce and Innovation.

The 2015 survey of bank reputations measured U.S. consumers' perceptions of 32 major bank brands. The annual survey provides a detailed analysis of the components that formulate corporate reputations, and how each bank rates on those measures. Scores are based on the results of an online survey that was fielded in March and April of 2015.

Reputation Institute (RI) is the world’s leading consulting and advisory firm for reputation. RI enables many of the world’s leading companies to make more confident business decisions that build and protect reputation capital, analyze risk and sustainability topics, and drive competitive advantage. RI’s most prominent management tool is the RepTrak® model for analyzing the reputations of companies and institutions — best known via the Global RepTrak® 100, the world’s largest and most comprehensive study of corporate reputations, as well as Country RepTrak® and City RepTrak® studies that look at reputation across organizations within a given geography.

Hey folks,

Sorry about the lengthy hiatus;  It's been just about exactly 4 weeks since my last update here.  Well, what can I say?  Baby Jesus B-day stole all my time for a while, plus I've been putting the finising touches on Scribattle (coming to an iPhone near you soon) but now I'm ready to pick up, not where I left off, but where we are today. In the 4 weeks, it looks like about 8 hours have passed in Judge Perker's world, and about 5 minutes in Mark Trail. Sounds about right.

Brocade 48K CP kernel panic

We had a CP kernel panic and reboot a few days ago.  We are running FABOS 6.4.2b and the 48K has 32-port blades.  I have a ticket in with our vendor who is contacting Brocade, but just wanted to see if anyone has seen this problem?

Yuhanna ibn Bukhtishu (Johannes Bukhtishu) was a 9th-century Persian[1] or Syriac[2] physician from Khuzestan, Persia.[3][4]

Yuhanna ibn Bukhtishu‘ (or Bakhtishu‘) was a member of a prominent family of Nestorian Christian physicians originally from Jundishapur in Khuzastan who worked in Baghdad from the 8th through the 10th centuries. The name is composite of middle Persian Bukht (saved)[5] and Syriac Ishu' (Jesus), which means saved by Jesus or one whose saviour is Jesus.

Yuhanna ibn Bukhtishu was the illegitimate son of Jabril Ibn Bukhtishu (d. 870CE) who was physician to the caliphs al-Ma'mun, al-Wathiq and Al-Mutawakkil in Baghdad.

Ibn Bukhtishu‘, who worked in Baghdad about 892CE, is known to have written a treatise on astrological knowledge necessary for a physician, but the treatise is now lost. It is uncertain whether he was in fact the author of a treatise on materia medica that is attributed to him in the extant copies, of which The National Library of Medicine has one.

Reception of unwanted information

There are a lot of questions raised by this report. How many dishes were turned in? How many were seized? How long was the collection period? How many still functioned? What were the demographics of the owners? Was it more than a publicity stunt by the Basij?

One thing to note is that many of the Farsi language satellite channels are sponsored by monarchist exiles in the USA and Europe who are intend to undermine the authority and legitimacy of the revolutionary government.

[Thanks to my editor for spotting this article that I missed.]

Iran destroys 100,000 'depraving' satellite dishes
Iranian authorities have destroyed 100,000 satellite dishes and receivers as part of a widespread crackdown against illegal devices they say "deviate morality and culture".
Destroying old satellite dishes

General Mohammad Reza Naghdi, the head of Iran's Basij militia, oversaw the destruction ceremony in Tehran on Sunday and warned of the impact that satellite television was having in the country…

"What these televisions really achieve is increased divorce, addiction and insecurity in society."

Naghdi said that a total of one million Iranians had already voluntarily handed over their satellite dishes to authorities…

Iranian police regularly raid neighbourhoods and confiscate dishes from rooftops, and under Iranian law, satellite equipment is banned and those who distribute, use, or repair them can be fined up to $2,800…

"Most of these satellite channels not only weaken the foundation of families but also cause disruptions in children's education and children who are under the influence of satellite have improper behaviour," Naghdi said.

There are dozens of foreign-based Farsi satellite channels broadcasting mostly news, entertainment, films and series…

Life is an adventure of the heart, an adventure into love

Motherhood, the early days

Fleurie is 9 days old. That sounds like such a long time and such a short time. She is beautiful. I fell in love with her straight away. Her tiny perfectness, fully complete, fully there, I am lucky, blessed, full of love. She has a lovely shock of velvety smooth dark hair, and dark blue beady eyes. Newborns are divine, pure and simple. They have a language all of their own which says love me, nurture me, protect me, I'm oh so cute and oh so vulnerable. At the same time, how could one so small look so infinitely wise, with eyes so deep, and ancient like the night sky full of stars, other-wordly, beyond time. It is such a privilege to live out my day simply giving love, Motherhood is a beautiful gift and I am unwrapping it slowly, savouring every moment of the experience.

Fleurie is my third baby, and experience has taught me so much. I learnt through the other two and I am still learning every day. I've learnt to chill out, at the end of the day babies are very simple creatures (if they are fit and well), and my philosophy is to parent in the way that most minimises stress, happy parents, happy children. If routines make you stressed, don't do them, if they make you feel more confident, go for it. Try not to think too much about what's right or wrong, not thinking, but being and flowing with the moment seems to be a much easier way to function. Experience has taught me that although life revolves entirely around children right now, it won't be that way for long, so enjoy those baby snuggles while they last. Sleep will return, and so will grown up evenings, suck up all the goodness of newborn smells, toddler first words and five year olds first stories. One day they'll be calling you from some other country and you'll miss the time that naughty little girl was sneaking out of bed just for one last bit of contact from you (even if it was a cross word!).

We could talk until the cows come home about what children need, how to discipline, ways to show love, but the simple truth underneath it all is that everything they need is inside your heart. Loving starts with you, so feel the wonder of your breath, the life within your bones, sit in the stillness and let love fill you up. Know how infinitely precious you are and then snuggle those babies, let love surround you all.

  1. Well put! I needed to read that today... I too have a newborn and a toddler ,I can relate to what you say so well, thank you!Welcome to the world Fleurie , you're beautiful!

The huddle room has become a hot topic in the world of video conferencing, with virtually every company getting in on the action – which includes the likes of Crestron and Polycom. Lifesize says that its system is the easiest its ever created however, yet still affords much of the power users have come to expect from its products.

To meet the expectations of the company’s ambition, Lifesize says that it has improved the camera design to address the specific nature and challenges of huddle room spaces. In fact, the Icon 450’s smart-framing sensor is designed to intelligently adjust its sharp, wide-angle camera lens to automatically capture and include everyone in the picture.

The plug-and-play Icon 450 is powered by Lifesize’s cloud-based conferencing service and promises users a seamless, high-quality meeting experience. Leveraging Lifesize’s enterprise-ready interoperability, the combination of the Icon 450 and cloud-based application can automatically launch meetings from Microsoft Office 365 or Google Apps for Work, conference with Skype for Business users and connect employees and guests from their phones or internet browsers — all with a single touch of the Lifesize Phone HD, a meeting room command central for audio, video and web conferencing.

The combined Lifesize Cloud and hardware offering also gives users a unified, consistent communication experience across platforms and devices to simplify the user experience. Lif

“For most businesses the conference room is still the central point of meetings and team collaboration, so the ability to effectively connect users to the conference room is critical,” says Craig Malloy, CEO of Lifesize.

“For more than a decade, Lifesize has been a pioneer in crafting revolutionary video communication technology that allows both end users and IT administrators to spend more time on productive work and less time on troubleshooting.

“The Lifesize Icon 450 combines our rich history in conferencing devices with our powerful cloud-based service to provide a seamless video communication experience for users in today’s most popular conferencing location — the huddle room. This is truly a mark of our unique value proposition among video conferencing providers.”

The Lifesize Icon 450 includes a sharp, wide-angle lens that offers an 82° horizontal field of view and a 59° vertical field of view. It also comes with 24/7 Extreme Support from Lifesize’s customer success and support team.

Installers wishing to specify for the Lifesize Icon 450 can do so from today, with pricing starting at $4,999. That package includes HD camera, Lifesize Phone HD, Lifesize remote control and cables. Users will need to subscribe to the Lifesize Cloud to get the most out of the system however, which has prices starting at $29 per month per user.

Speaking at the launch of the Lifesize Icon 450, Michael Helmbrect, chief product and operations officer at Lifesize, answered a detailed Q&A.

What is driving cloud video conferencing today?

“A big factor is cost. On the one hand, the cost of travel and related expenses of getting people together for meetings is a big issue. On the other side of the coin, the cost for a state of the art video communication system is becoming more accessible for all types of companies.

“Another significant market change driving adoption, is the nature of today’s work force compared with 10 or 15 years ago. Knowledge workers are more dispersed and mobile and expect always on, always available connections. Video conferencing enables much better efficiency, communication and collaboration than the more traditional types of communication like email or audio-only conference calls.

“As a result, many companies are extending the technology beyond the boardroom and executive suite to conference rooms, huddle rooms and individual users. Companies can reduce their operational costs and enhance productivity and collaboration. It is also really about the performance and productivity that video conferencing offers for all sorts of use models and the changing types of work environment nowadays.”

Do you see any differences in adoption by region or vertical markets?

“Not really. We’re seeing adoption of video conferencing around the world as people start to realise the benefits of visual interaction and collaboration. It’s pretty universal and is ideal for allowing people to connect in a more natural way across a number of geographic locations. And, it’s being used across all sorts of vertical sectors – education, health care, manufacturing, technology. Virtually any company that needs a collaborative workforce benefits from enterprise-ready video conferencing.”

What are the benefits of cloud video conferencing vs other collaboration solutions?

“A cloud-based solution makes it easy to deploy and use video conferencing both across any platform – desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile phone. The cloud approach gives users an easy to use, consistent communication experience across platforms and devices. For the IT administrator behind the scenes, this means less time spent on deployment, training and management, which translates into lower cost of ownership. Security is an issue, too, but all of Lifesize’s cloud-based solutions are built with security in mind.”

What is the biggest challenge with adoption of cloud video conferencing?

“It’s really about changing behaviours. People are creatures of habit and often stick with a familiar way of doing things. We see that a lot, but as soon as people experience video communication, they quickly become fans. I think there is probably a perception that video conferencing is too expensive or too complicated for a small or medium sized company, but that is an easy objection to overcome because it’s simply not true anymore.”

Why should customers choose Lifesize?

“The combination of award-winning plug-and-play HD video and phone systems for any meeting room and an easy-to-use cloud-based conferencing application makes Lifesize unique. Survey after survey of IT people and end users show that ease of use is the most important adoption consideration. Lifesize’s whole strategy revolves around making it a very simple, intuitive experience to install, use, extend and maintain.

“Unlike other solutions that have migrated from the consumer space or are scaled down in some way, Lifesize is enterprise-ready. We are built from the ground up for IT and the enterprise. Our technology is robust, secure and scalable to meets any organisation’s needs and ongoing growth. We are maniacal about customer service – it is one of our company’s core values and our customers consitently cite that as a benefit of working with us. We back our service with a financially-backed SLA (more information here). When people look at ROI and TCO, Lifesize is clearly a leader in the space.”

What is new at Lifesize?

“We continue to add more functionality to the core product line, as well as integration with other popular communications tool. For example, we’ve added a calendaring feature that syncs with popular applications like Microsoft Office 365 or Google Apps for Work.

“We continue to enhance the user interface to make it a more intuitive and easy to use control point for integrated communications. And we’ve just introduced a new camera, Lifesize Icon 450, aimed at smaller conference spaces or huddle rooms. It features a smart-framing sensor that intelligently adjusts its sharp, wide-angle camera lens to automatically capture and include everyone in the picture. And it’s all part of an integrated, full-featured solution that includes directory-based calling, one-on-one and group calls and chat, instant and scheduled meetings, and high-definition recording and sharing.

Do you have some good examples of how people are using your cloud video conferencing?

“It really runs a wide-range range of the size and types of meetings, and interactions that organisations can have. From company-wide meetings, to small groups and 1:1 point to point calling, we’re seeing more and more adoption.

“We’re also noticing that more companies are using it externally – with their customers and partners, and in customer support and education models. We see some innovative uses in certain industries like healthcare. Care givers and doctors can diagnose and even treat patients remotely via video conferencing, which opens up a lot of new possibilities in this sector.”

My job

Confession:  (This is a huge one)

I've been resenting my kids lately.  That's terrible, I know. God forgive me.  It's the truth.

I've been restless, irritable and discontent. Denying the fact, for weeks, that I want more time to myself, less mess in my life, less kid chaos, maybe even less time with them, entertaining the fantasy of putting the older two in school. So I could have more me time.

Yes, these thoughts would crop up and I would hush them, not even wanting to admit them to myself. And I would drudge through another day, not giving my children my best.

And then last night, as I lay in bed, this feeling of incredible and huge gratitude came over me.  Unparalleled gratitude for my children.  The reminder that they are gifts, pure and simple. And that I have been called to raise them, lovingly and to put in my best efforts.  And that right now, this is my job.  Because it is a job.  But it's a job I'm blessed to have.

And I was thinking, too, about how my life used to feel so much simpler.  A lot of things went into that but part of what's different is the amount of time spent on my writing.  Though I love it, though I know it, too, is God given, it also takes a lot out of me.

Laying in bed, I remembered how when the first two were young we had all day at home together, and so much got done around the house, as well as in them, in their own personal growth.  More than I feel they've been receiving from me lately.  More than the two little ones have maybe ever received.

And back then I wasn't blogging.  The internet ten years ago, also did not seem to consume me like it does now.  I hardly remember using the computer at that time.  Finally, I wasn't working on any writing project.

And life seemed nice.  So, I made the decision to, for a period, even if only for a few weeks, put all my writing on hold. I have a long life ahead of me and there will be plenty of time to pursue certain goals in the future but my children will not be the ages they are now for long.  And I want to pour more of me into them.  I want to stop holding back parts of me for me.  I want to have more time just to play with them, to work on chores while they work on workbooks.  I just want to find a bit more ease in the now that we are in.

 I know it looks like I haven't been blogging much anyway.  But that doesn't mean that my mind hasn't been on the blog.  There's a pressure I place on myself even when I don't actually make it here.  So I'm lifting that for now.  I'm going to try to recreate a bit of the old days.  Days when I was still in total awe of my children and days when I didn't want it all.  Days when I knew that I needn't strive and I understood that God had me right where He wanted me to.

Days that were less about me and more about them.

submitting at Weekend Reflections

  1. Cute pic!
    Anyone has days that they dislike their job! Don't beat yourself over the head with it!
    There is no condemnation...(Rom 8:1)
    If blogging becomes pressure to perform, maybe you can tell yourself only to be on the computer for a set time (example: 1 hour)

  2. I understand, I think our families are the most important. Maybe you need a break, some time away from things that mess up your mind. Your little ones will grow and too often we find ourselves regretting the time we could not spend with them.
    Take the chance now and free your mind of other worries.
    Stay well.

Draft update: Lynx opt for Griffin

The Lynx chose Nebraska's Kelsey Griffin with the No. 3 selection, taking a 6-foot-2 forward who averaged 20.3 points and 10 rebounds per game.

ESPN analysts are questioning if Griffin fits the Lynx's needs. Some wondered if the Lynx would trade this pick even before they made it, but now that they have a player attached, it may be easier to find a team that likes Griffin, if they do choose to go that way.

"Refused not at the address"

An "Express Letter Service" envelope from "National Credit Council" listing a DC POB return address arrived here yesterday addressed to someone we never heard of and don't know. The envelope has a clear cellophane face revealing the unknown addressee, our address, and some supposed credit account info, including PIN, notifying the addressee of easy auto financing. A Google search on National Credit Council revealed some government agency in the Philippines by that name. I also checked the telephone directory for the addressee and there is a person by that name in another town.

It's probably just a simple mistake, but I contacted USPS anyway for advice. I explained that we're the only ones that have ever had this street number and we don't know the person who's erroneously listed at our address. USPS suggested that I simply write 'Refused not at the address" and put it in the outgoing mail. I followed their advice. I'm probably making a big thing out of nothing, but also notified the Governor's office of this mistake. Who knows? I don’t want an FDLE SWAT team kicking in the door some morning looking for this person. I've read about mistakes like that happening. You'd be surprised at the problems simple mistakes can cause.

How to Travel With an iPad

A couple uses an iPad on a plane.
Getty Images / Hero Images

The iPad has become the perfect traveling companion.  Not only does it fit into your suitcase easier, it performs most tasks as good or even better than your standard laptop.   It's great for reading, entertaining you with games or movies, updating Facebook, using FaceTime to keep in touch with loved ones.  And using the free-to-download iMovie, you can even put together a vacation movie while you are on vacation.

  But there are a few things you should know before you travel with your iPad.

Don't Risk Your iPad: Buy a Case

It's easy to forgo the case if you mostly use your iPad at home, but being on the go is another matter entirely.  This is especially true if you plan on storing your iPad inside of your luggage.  It's easy to forget that your iPad is hiding among your clothes or in a special outer pocket of your suitcase, and all it takes is a single metal object next to the iPad and the vibrations of a car, train or plane to result in a crack in the display.

Apple's Smart Case is not only smart because it can wake up the iPad when you open the flap, it's also smart because it is the best overall case for the iPad. It is a snug fit and creates enough protection to protect the iPad against the various bumps and drops that might happen during travel.  Of course, if your vacation includes rafting, cycling or hiking, you may want a case designed for outdoor use.

Learn How to Hook Into Your iPhone's Data Connection

Most of us don't have a 4G LTE connection for our iPad, and luckily, most of us don't need one.  Apple has made it very simple to connect to your iPhone's data connection.   This means you'll be able to use your iPad almost anywhere without the need for Wi-Fi.

You can tether your iPad to your iPhone by opening the Settings app on your iPhone and choosing "Personal Hotspot" from the menu.  After you turn the Personal Hotspot on by flipping the switch at the top of the screen, you can enter a custom Wi-Fi password.

On your iPad, simply connect to this new network as you would any Wi-Fi network by going into Settings on the iPad and choosing Wi-Fi.  After you tap the new Wi-Fi network you created on your iPhone, you will be prompted to enter the custom password.

Remember to Sign In (and Sign Out!) of Guest Wi-Fi

While tethering your iPad to your iPhone will get the job done, it will also use up the data allotted to your iPhone.  And overage charges on data tend to be expensive, so it is important to use free Wi-Fi when it is available.  Most hotels and coffee shops now have free Wi-Fi, and it tends to be faster than the internet connection you will get with your phone.  You can also get Wi-Fi in many restaurants, malls, and other public spaces.

When you are signing into a guest network, you should remain on the Wi-Fi settings screen for several seconds after choosing the network.  Many guest networks will pop up with a screen asking you to confirm their agreement, which usually contains wordage that protects them from being held responsible if you accidentally download malware or something similar.

 If you skip this step, the Wi-Fi network may not actually let you connect to the Internet despite showing you signed into the network.

And just as important as signing into a guest Wi-Fi network is signing out of it.   One not-so-uncommon scam used by those that might want to hack into a smartphone or tablet is to create a hotspot with the same name as a popular hotspot and no password.  Because the iPad will try to automatically sign into "known" networks, the iPad may connect to this network without your knowledge.

You can sign out of guest networks by going back into the Wi-Fi screen and tapping the "i" with the circle around it next to the network name.

 Next, tap "Forget This Network".  This will keep your iPad from attempting to automatically connect to any WI-Fi network with the same name.

Protect Your iPad With a Passcode and Find My iPad

Your iPad may not need a passcode at home, but it's always a good idea to create a passcode on your iPad when you travel.  And if you have a newer iPad with Touch ID, you can even use the fingerprint sensor to bypass the passcode.   You can add a Passcode in the "Touch ID & Passcode" or "Passcode" section of settings.  (The name will change based on whether or not your iPad supports Touch ID.) Find out more cool things you can do with Touch ID other than buying stuff.

And just as important as a passcode is making sure Find My iPad is turned on in the Settings app.  Find My iPad is located in the iCloud settings, and it should really be turned on at all times.  The "Send Last Location" setting is also important.  This will automatically send the location to Apple when the battery gets low, so if you leave your iPad somewhere and the battery drains, you can still find out where you left it so long as it can connect to the Internet.

But the big reason why turning on Find My iPad is a must isn't actually finding the iPad.  It's the ability to put it in lost mode or even wipe the device from the remote.  Lost mode is a special mode that not only locks the iPad, it allows you to write some text to be displayed on the screen.  This allows you to write a "call if found" note on it.

Load the iPad Up Before You Leave

One key step in traveling that we often forget is to load the iPad up with games, books, movies, etc. before we leave.   This is especially true with movies, which can take a huge amount of data to stream, but if you are stuck on a plane without Wi-Fi, you'll thank yourself for downloading an extra book or one of the many great games for the iPad.   And if you are traveling with small kids, a game like Fruit Ninja can definitely come in handy.  It certainly beats hearing "Are we there yet?" over and over again for a couple of hours.

iPhone 7 Hardware & Software Specs

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in Jet Black. image credit: Apple Inc.

Introduced: Sept. 7, 2016
Discontinued: Still being sold

Each year when Apple introduces a new iPhone, critics and users hold their breaths for a major breakthrough to be included in the new model. With the iPhone 7, there's no major breakthrough, but there are two fairly big changes—one good, one maybe not so good.

The positive major change introduced with the phone is the new dual-camera system available on the iPhone 7 Plus.

With two 12-megapixel cameras, a telephoto lens, and the ability to capture DSLR-quality depth of field effects, the 7 Plus' camera is a big step forward and could lay the groundwork for even more advanced features later (think 3D). On the downside, the features don't ship out of the box; they'll be delivered via software later.

The negative change is the removal of the traditional headphone jack. The iPhone 7 will now include only a Lightning port for connecting wired headphones. Apple put the removal in terms of "courage," and it certainly fits with the company's other controversial-at-the-time feature removals (DVD, Ethernet, floppy discs), but whether the included adapter dongle is enough to satisfy users remains to be seen.

The most notable changes introduced with the iPhone 7 include:

  • Removal of the headphone jack—Bound to be the most controversial iPhone change in years, the iPhone 7 removes the traditional headphone jack entirely. Instead, users are expected to use headphones that connect to the phone's Lightning port or AirPods, a new set of wireless headphones introduced by Apple at the same time.
  • The dual-camera system on the iPhone 7 Plus—The camera system on the iPhone 7 Plus is a major upgrade. It includes two 12-megapixel cameras on the back of the device, with the second camera offering a telephoto lens. This enables new image effects using depth of field (the foreground of the image in focus, the back blurred), live previews of depth of field effects, and up to 10x zoom. The camera flash also includes four bulbs (up from 2) for better color accuracy.
  • Higher top-end Storage—The highest capacity storage on the iPhone 7 is now 256 GB, up from 128 GB in the iPhone 6S.
  • Better color fidelity in screen—Both Phone 7 models have technology built into their screens that allow them to display a greater range of colors, delivering better-looking images. This technology was introduced previously on the iPad Pro.
  • New color options—In addition to silver, gold, and rose gold, the iPhone 7 offers two new color choices: Black and a high-polish "Jet Black." Jet Black is only available in the 128 GB and 256 GB models.

iPhone 7 Hardware Features

In addition to the changes noted above, new elements of the iPhone 7 also include:

  • The new A10 Fusion processor
  • W1 wireless audio chip to support AirPods and new wireless Beats headphones
  • Redesigned, solid state Home button with new force feedback engine
  • Improved user-facing camera
  • 25% brighter screen
  • The ability to edit and add effects to Live Photos
  • Improved battery life
  • IP67 water and dust resistance
  • Support for Felica NFC standard used in Japan.

  • The iPhone SE remains in its current 16 GB and 64 GB configurations and at its current pricing

Successful Resolution of a Used Car Case against Taylor Cadillac dba Taylor Kia

I'd like to share an example of a case that we got resolved recently against a car dealer.  The dealer was Toledo-based Taylor Cadillac, Inc.  They operate a dealership in Findlay, Ohio under the name Taylor Kia.  My client, who bought a car at the Findlay Taylor dealership, alleged the following:

  • Taylor had bought a certain 2013 Hyundai Elantra at an auction in Michigan.
  • The Hyundai had previously been owned and operated by a rental car company, and used as a daily rental.
  • The Hyundai had previously been crashed.
  • Taylor obtained a vehicle history report that showed the Hyundai's prior rental use.
  • When my client went to the Taylor dealership, she asked about another car, but was directed by a salesman to a different Taylor lot, and specifically to the Hyundai.
  • Even though Taylor knew about the car's history, at least the rental history, no one from Taylor told my client about it -- even though there is a box on the contract labeled "Rental Vehicle."
  • Without any clue about the car's history, my client bought the Hyundai, with the "Rental Vehicle" box not checked.
There were other details of our complaint, but the gist of it was that Taylor was required by law to tell my client about the prior rental history, because it knew about it.  Later, my client found out about the history, and wanted to unwind the deal.

We filed suit against Taylor and the finance company involved, for unfair and deceptive acts, and for fraud.  Shortly after the law suit was filed, Taylor made a two-part offer:

1) my client could either give the car back, get all her money back (including all her payments to the finance company and the value of her trade in), and Taylor would pay off all the money owed to the finance company, and would pay $2,500 for her attorney's fees and court costs, or

2) my client could accept a slightly higher amount of cash for herself and keep the Hyundai, but would still have to pay the finance company on her installment contract.

What would you do?  Considering the car's history, my client did not want to take the chance that something major would go wrong.  So we accepted the first offer, and my client can buy another car -- somewhere else, of course.

If you want to read the details, the Complaint in our lawsuit is here:  Complaint

The details of how the case was resolved are here, in our: Notice of Acceptance of Defendant Taylor Cadillac, Inc.'s Cure Offer

Taylor did not admit any wrong-doing.  And to be clear, the finance company was sued only because we alleged that the law makes it responsible to a certain degree for Taylor's alleged fraud and deceptive acts.  The Court did not get to the point of deciding who was right or wrong.

If you think you have a case against a car dealer, keep in mind that every case is different.  (Although sometimes I do see some patterns in he behavior of certain car dealers.)

Also, I'll use this opportunity to remind my readers not to sign an arbitration agreement.  You might lose important rights to sue in court.  More on arbitration, here.

INDIA: Down to His Last Palace

"My daughter," the elder John D. Rockefeller is supposed to have told a cab driver who complained that she gave bigger tips, "has a very rich father, I haven't."

The same can be said of pomaded, 49-year-old Azam Jah, Prince of Berar and eldest son of India's wizened, 72-year-old Nizam of Hyderabad. Nobody knows exactly how rich the Prince's father is. For one thing, a pack of rats recently chewed their way through $8,000,000 in currency stored in moldy trunks in the Nizam's palace vaults, leaving their value in question. For another, the old Nizam abruptly fired a man hired...

Mayor Barry: A Capital Offense

Barry's travails are just one woe for the "other Washington"

This is a tale of two cities that occupy one place but exist in two different worlds. One is Washington, the nation's capital, an enclave of sparkling white marble monuments and Government offices. The other is the District of Columbia, an overwhelmingly black city of 629,000, with an appalling crime rate, disintegrating schools and declining municipal services. That other Washington rarely steals the spotlight from the official one, but the scandal surrounding Mayor Marion S. Barry Jr. these days has focused belated attention on its mounting travails.

The beam shines mainly on the mayor. Police and federal prosecutors are investigating the...
