It's called.....would you mind going and checking for me?

I've been wanting to get one of those cheap plastic kiddie pools for my husky for awhile. It won't fit in my car, and mom informed me that dad took the motorcycle to work, meaning I could take the truck to go get one.

So I called the hometown grocery store where my parents live....

Me: Polite and inquisitive...
Her: Bored sounding...and I think I used to work with her... O_o

H: Hello, Felpausch. How may I direct your call?
M: Yes. Hi. I would like to know if you are selling kiddie pools and if you have any in stock.
*uncomfortable pause*
H: Yeah, I guess we have some in the lobby.
H: Have a nice day. *click*

I just sat there staring at my phone and blinking. Should I have asked her to go look for me?!

When I worked there, I'd put the customer on hold and look if it was in my realm to do so. If not, I'd forward the call to the correct dept.

I didn't really want to have to drive out there to find no pools... maybe I'll call back later.

Garden upkeep cutting the palm trees

the garden team is cutting palm trees today

Last week there were heavy winds in Bali and Monic was worried about some palm trees which were very close to Villa Bidadari. Today we cut six palms with our gardener’s team and some tree specialists.  Quite a lot of work, luckily nothing fell on a person or a house.

We will replant some coconut palms and probably also some fruit trees like mango, banana, and papaya.

Open for Bookings

We expect that Indonesia and Bali will open soon for visitors. We already had many Indonesian guests. Currently, there is no tourist visa but with vaccination starting in many countries the situation will be different in a few months.

Many guests already booked for this summer. There are many benefits to having a vacation in your own private villa, away from the busy south, in a stunning location, which will be cleaned daily is one of the best places to start traveling again. When you have any questions let us know.

Born on 18/06/1984

An Adventure to days that we merely cannot recall them… Some special atmospheres are able to recall us some memorable moments. Some locations comprising special music, illustrations, and furniture which full of delighted instants of our lives. Moreover, the memorable tastes are up to remind us of the memorable times in our lives. It is possible to an ardent food critic succumbs to the original tastes. Do you remember the “Ratatouille” animation? We see how the food critic of the story throughout tasting a rustic, French cuisine, remember his memorable time in childhood, and the fate of the chef and his restaurant finally altered. The tastes are the bridges towards the world of experiences of our memories. Just grab a “Bamahas” sandwich and put away its wrapped paper. If this taste is created professionally, after the first bite, the colour and atmosphere of the world will change for you. A quick flashback to the nostalgic shops and old-fashioned tastes in your childhood will make you forget about life and routine works for a few minutes, and you can soar your imaginations to your beloved memories, to the time of gathering with your best friends, classmates, playmates, and whoever experiences the moments of togetherness. Traditionally, people have memories with sausages and hams. They have sweet, bitter, cheap, and expensive memories.

Although it has been about 90 years since this kind of sandwich came out and almost everyone has tasted it in our region; but “Bamahas” is for them, those care about quality and detail as remembering memories. They care about details affecting the final taste of the sandwich and, as a result, the important moments of eating and togetherness. “Bamahas” is different. So, we think of any little things that can change the taste. It is just like our life, where the little changes in its parts, can make a big difference. The Quality in Bamahas As the “Bamahas” is important for us, we make use of classy brands for making our sandwiches. For instance, for bread, we benefit from the crispy bread of “Sahar” or for hams and sausages we use the superfine product of “Mikaeelian” and “Robat” brand. Morning market, truly knows the “Bamahas”. We believe that if tomatoes, parsley or even pickles aren't crisp and fresh, we won’t be able to create a noble sandwich. For this reason, we distribute the remained bread, vegetables, and safflowers to the charity centers. Besides the special sauce, “Bamahas” creates such a delicious mixture that reminds us a hearty and forgotten taste of a real sandwich. Hot or cold, it does not matter; we make a taste in “Bamahas” that you don't even experience at home. The novel discovery in the field of experiencing a sandwich, takes place in “Bamahas”. “Bamahas” is the delicious choice for spending the simple times of our life, which we don't even think about it during the day. We greatly enjoy our ways, hope you are happy from your different sandwich discovery entitled by “Bamahas”.

Many people do not care about the quality that comes from this precision. But “Bamahas” is for who cares about these qualities more than any quantity in their lifestyle. Best regards to these customers, we created the style of “Bamahas”.
Enjoy Life, Your Way

My Weekend

I've posted before about how wonderfully DH's company has treated us. This weekend, we won tickets to a tailgate party across the street from the shoe (OSU Stadium). While I knew it was crazy to do this on an already busy weekend, I couldn't pass up the chance to watch a big game in style!

I come from a long line of Buckeye fans. My grandmother's buckeye necklace is one of my most treasured possessions. My two year old can sing the fight song. The first station plugged into my radio dial in the car is The Fan Sports Radio. Thankfully, I have been blessed with a dear friend who can understand my football obsession.

We are probably the only two women I know who can immediately recognize and name all three men on that bus -- the only exceptions being my mom and Aunt Rose! For those who are sports deprived, it's the ESPN Game Day crew who were set up next to the company tent.

Before the game we watched the players pass right by the tent as they walked into St. John's Arena for the Skull Session. There was a jumbo-tron set up outside the tent to watch the game and several big screen tv's inside. It was a college football fan's paradise.

Whenever DH goes to one of these parties, he's immediately drawn to all the s.w.a.g. (stuff we all get not sista with a gun) and we inevitably leave with all kinds of goodies. His biggest reason for going to these parties is the free food and all the loot. He wasn't disappointed! We came home with picnic blankets, camp chairs, gift certificates, and a signed Tressell football! He was like a kid in a candy store with all the give-aways.

UPDATE: We also joked about the photographer taking pictures of the event. It felt like we were lurking in the background of half his pictures. Here are a few he took. One of us is each of these pictures, see if you can find us.

oh my word, who does your husband work for? tug (my husband) needs to get a job there (and for them to pay for a LONG move).
i can certainly tell you the gameday crew...fowler, corso, herbstreit (hello former ohio state quarterback). i can tell you that they changed the intro song this year to include desmond (undeserving, oh we dont give a damn for the whole state of michigan). i can tell you that someone in the pic is wearing a laurinaitis jersey and someone else possibly a pryor jersey (cant tell to make sure it is in fact just a 2).

Check Out the 2018 CrossFit Games Regionals Workouts 3 & 4

There are now less than three weeks remaining until the 2018 CrossFit Games Regionals kick off, and we’re finally getting a steady stream of individual workout announcements.

Over the last week, Dave Castro has been teasing a couple hints for Regionals workouts in addition to CrossFit HQ steadily releasing full workout descriptions on their site. The first hint came in the form of handstand obstacle courses, then of course, we had the bench press hint, which stirred up a big conversation across all strength communities.

The next two workouts (3 & 4) for the 2018 CrossFit Games Regionals  can be seen below. In addition, if you missed the first two workouts, we included them below to catch you up to speed.

CrossFit Regionals Individual Workout 3

We mentioned it in the article we wrote about the release of the second CrossFit Regionals workout, but the handstand obstacle courses will make its debut in this workout.

For Time

  • 9 muscle-ups
  • Handstand walk
  • 36 single-leg squats
  • Handstand walk

  • 45 single-leg squats
  • Handstand walk

  • 12 burpees
  • Then, 2 rounds
  • 10 snatches, 115/75 lb
  • 12 burpees

Time Cap: 9-minutes. Scores will be the amount of time it takes the athlete to complete the workout.

As mentioned above, we’ve included the first two Individual CrossFit Regionals workouts below that were released Monday (May 7th) and Tuesday (May 8th).

CrossFit Regionals Individual Workout 1

The Triple 3 workout made its original debut back at the 2014 at the Reebok CrossFit Games.

Triple 3

For Time

  • 3000-Meter Row

We’re guessing we’ll continue to see workouts released over the next week or so at the same rate CrossFit HQ has been recently dropping them. Our next question is, when will we get the first workout geared towards testing heavy/maximal movements?

How To Bake Greek Roast Lamb

 How To Bake Greek Roast Lamb (ami psito)

I remember as a child when Greek Easter came along, my mom would serve lamb for dinner. First we would go to the market the day before and purchase one leg (buti) of lamb with the bone not broken. She was so proud to make the purchase and to return home to prepare a delicious meal for her family.

Lamb has been the meat of sacrifice in Greece since time immemorial. They would sprinkle it with oregano and thyme that grew wild on the mountainside and prepare it with olive oil and lemon juice before roasting it over the fire.

Way back in time women were not allowed to prepare this meat. The men were the chefs and would step into the kitchen to prepare the meat properly. I am glad that over time some traditions have changed because I love to bake lamb in my own kitchen. It is my pleasure to share our family recipe with you. Yasou!

Just as spaghetti sauce tastes different in each village by the Italians, so it is with the Greeks. One thing that seems to be in common with lamb recipes is the garlic. Don’t skimp on the garlic, that’s for sure!

Greek roast lamb is served well with pasta, rice or potatoes. I enjoy a Greek salad as well with my meal. The secret is to bake the lamb in a very hot oven at first and then lower the temperature. I sincerely hope you enjoy this recipe and may happiness and joy surround your table.

1 leg of lamb (9 lbs. or larger)
3-5 to 12 cloves of garlic, peeled and halved
1/2- 1 Tablespoon of salt
1/8 - 1/4 Teaspoon pepper
1 Tablespoon of oregano or more
1 Teaspoon of thyme
1 Tablespoon of spearmint flakes (optional) I use a little
2 Lemons, juice only
3 cups boiling water

Wipe meat and place in a shallow baking pan. With a small knife make four or more incisions all over and insert sliced cloves of garlic. Rub with salt, pepper, oregano and mint. Roast meat at 425 degrees F. for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F. and continue baking 2 hours longer, adding water in the pan. Add lemon juice the last half hour and baste lamb with juice. Skim some of the floating oil that accumulates in the pan and use the remaining liquid for gravy. If desired, remove the lamb from the pan and add parboiled potatoes, pasta or rice to juices in pan and continue baking the potatoes. Enjoy!

To Neveah, the world seemed like an eternal winter. Her parents and maids had given her the cold shoulder ever since she was a baby. When she fell down in the snow, no one spared her a glance. It was truly a dreadful winter.

While living day to day like a doll on a display shelf, Neveah was engaged as part of a prenatal agreement between her father and her fiance’s father. Her fiance was a Wistash. Duke Valer Wistash.

As in the prelude to every tragedy, it all began with a damned love.

“Love has its moments. You missed them all, and now I don’t love you anymore.”

Neveah said to her fiance who had never once looked at her for the past decade, then left the Empire for the neighbouring country where she was welcomed with open arms.

She didn’t expect anything there and was simply planning to live quietly but the Emperor’s attitude towards her was exceedingly friendly.

“I want you to be happy. You can wish for anything and do as you please. I want to give you a season where you don’t have to be constantly wary of other people.”

After meeting Arendt, Neveah’s winter began to overflow… into spring as the snow began to melt.

At any rate, I felt relieved that I probably wouldn’t have any sort of romantic interactions with this guy.

Well it wouldn’t be a big deal to meet him once. But, then, when I was released from prison…

VANCOUVER -- Just over 98 per cent of B.C.'s recent COVID-19 cases involved people who were either unvaccinated or had only been vaccinated for less than three weeks, according to health officials.

Data presented Thursday shows that 78,020 of the 79,480 infections recorded in the province between Dec. 27 and May 1 involved people had yet to receive a vaccine or were not fully benefiting from the antibodies generated by vaccination.

The numbers don't tell the full story, as British Columbia only began administering vaccine at the end of December, and the process began very slowly. The province didn't reach the milestone of immunizing 50 per cent of eligible adults until this week.

But other data presented Thursday still suggests a much lower rate of infection in people protected by vaccine. The First Nations Health Authority recorded just 17.6 cases of COVID-19 per 10,000 vaccinated residents, compared to 415.3 cases per 10,000 unvaccinated residents.

Henry noted that the immunity offered by COVID-19 vaccines develops in the body over time, and isn't said to be optimal until 21 days after a shot. And while immunized people tend to experience milder symptoms, they can still suffer serious illness and even death.

"The main risk continues to be age in having severe disease and hospitalization," Henry said.

A total of 1,340 people caught COVID-19 during that December to May timeframe, even though they had been vaccinated at least 21 days prior. Another 120 cases involved people who had received their second dose of COVID-19 vaccine at least seven days prior to infection.

Of the vaccinated individuals who went on to catch the disease, 141 ended up in hospital, including 13 who required intensive care. There were also 30 deaths. Henry noted that seniors tended to suffer the worst outcomes, similarly to what's seen in unvaccinated populations.

"The average age of people who've been immunized who've required hospitalization is 81, the average age of those in ICU is 71, and the average age of those who've died, sadly, is 87," Henry said.

Health officials also shared a promising case study from Prince Rupert, the northern community that was targeted for early immunization back in March due to exploding COVID-19 numbers. The data shows infections began plummeting by late March, and stayed low through April even as cases in nearby communities increased.

"We saw a sustained low level in Prince Rupert itself," Henry said. "This is something that helps us understand what may happen as an entire province once we get to those levels of immunization."

A similar trend was recorded among health-care workers employed in long-term care homes and assisted living facilities, who were among the first in B.C. to receive vaccine. Henry noted there was a "dramatic drop-off" in infections that continued right through the province's brutal third wave of the pandemic.

The province has now administered a total of 2,335,513 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines, including 119,691 second doses.

On Thursday, officials also confirmed B.C.'s second case of rare blood clotting associated with the AstraZeneca vaccine. The latest resident to suffer vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia, also known as VITT, is a man in his 40s who lives in the Fraser Health region that spans from Burnaby to Boston Bar.

Henry said the man is in stable condition and receiving treatment.

B.C. is no longer booking appointments for AstraZeneca as a first dose, though existing appointments will proceed as planned and the vaccine will still be given out for second doses.

Post Stanley Cup 2011: Thanks are in Order

Now that the Stanley Cup Finals are over, some thanks are in order. Our thanks go out to:

* The Vancouver Canucks:   For plowing through to the end and making it to the Stanley Cup Finals. This is no small feat.  As the Boston Bruins know, it’s not a direct line to the Stanley Cup.  This is the third time that the Vancouver Canucks have lost in the final series.  The Bruins lost five times since 1972 before winning in 2011.  Here’s hoping we don’t have two more riots until we win!

* The Sedin Twins:  Sure some may question how you fared in the Stanley Cup Finals.  In fact quite a lot of fans are not too happy about their performance in this final series.   Still, we’d like to thank both of you for the example you set to younger hockey players and fans.  It’s said that the Swedes don’t fight in the NHL, and you’re staying true to that tradition. Sure you’ve received some penalties for inappropriate actions, but in general you take an intelligent and measured approach to the game and we appreciate you for that.

* The Vancouver Canucks (again) for coming in second:  In countries like Japan there is a mentality that you either win gold or nothing else matters. Japanese journalists will interview silver medal winners during the Olympics and ask them why they didn’t win the gold.  Sure there’s only one cup, but we still think it’s special that you made it that far and won the President’s Trophy to boot.

* The Vancouver Canucks coach Alain Vigneault:  We enjoyed listening to your post game commentary and your thoughtful approach to post-game discussions.   You brought a gentleman’s perspective to the game. It looked like you were nearly in tears after the final loss.  Perhaps we read your body language wrong, but we feel for you and your team.  We’re lucky to have you with us here in Vancouver.

* The young Vancouver Fans: If you were near a school in the days leading up to the final game you would have seen children setting up mini hockey nets during breaks, enthusiastically organizing their teams and playing their hearts out.  Meanwhile the younger set in the toddler/Pre-School Strong Start programmes were honing their newly acquired hockey skills.  …and we do mean young.  Think under 2!  Not only did the Stanley Cup playoffs inspire the children, but their youthful enthusiasm for this Canadian sport inspires the rest of Canada.

* The Boston Bruins: For going “all out” during the playoffs.  You played to win, as the saying goes, and shared your enthusiasm for the game with your American contemporaries.  Some of them said some unsympathetic comments regarding your aspirations. Oh well. That’s the sporting world for you. It’s true that a good proportion of your team are Canadians, but you’re part of the Original Six and you represent the unique sporting culture of Boston that we could see in the bleachers during the Boston home games.

* The City of Vancouver: For setting up the Vancouver fan zone downtown.  Sure the implementation was faulty because it created an environment ripe for rioting when the Canucks lost.  But there were also  many happy moments created in the zone during the series.  But you do need to revise the plans for the next playoff season.

* Mayor Gregor Robertson and Premier Christy Clark: For making it very clear that the City of Vancouver and Province of  British Columbia will continue to support big public gatherings and large celebrations.  This will help us to combat Vancouver’s reputation for being No Fun Vancouver.  Lower Mainlanders needed to hear about this commitments. The Winter Olympics 2010 spirit lives on.  Go Vancouver go!

* The Vancouver Police Department on the ground after the games (and their colleagues from neighbouring cities):  We know that you shared in the disappointment that the Canucks lost.  Then you were significantly understaffed as you attempted to deal with the ensuing mega brawl and vandalism that took place. Important recommendations from the 1994 riot were not fully implemented.  Further assessment of police preparedness is needed.  But as Ian Hanomansing made clear on The National after the game, there was clear evidence that the police had learned from past situations regarding how to deal with crowd control and irate crowd members. It’s easy to criticize the approach of the police, but they’re also the first people we look to when things aren’t going well for us and our neighbourhood.

* All-weather Canucks fans:  We admire you for not being fair-weather fans.  During the Boston home games you kept your eye on the TV, despite the painful scoring deficit.  The Baby Boomer grandma who asked the Gen X father why he was still sporting a Canucks sweater post-game six would not be an example for children to follow as they develop their understanding of good sportsmanship.

Apparently this photograph was taken before the game started.

So this man was waiting for trouble to start? (Photo source)

* Canucks fans downtown: Thanks to the Canucks fans who left the downtown core as soon as they could make transport arrangements, thereby leaving the police to do what they needed to do to clear out the organized rioters, aggressive and resistant crowd members, drunkards and looky-looers hoping to records videos for YouTube.  During a crisis situation we either choose to be part of the solution or part of the problem.  There is no middle ground.

The Globe and Mail is attempting to determine who this brave fan is. She protected the Holt Renfrew storefront from aggressive crowd members. It’s suspected she may be a University of Washington alumna.

*Brave fans downtown:  Some brave fans took a stand with the rioters.  It was a risky move, this is true.  But it was also an example of civic responsibility in action.  We admire you for your courage and conviction.

* The Vancouver Clean-up crew: Thanks to everyone who headed downtown to help with the cleanup the morning after the riot.  That’s the spirit.

* BC-based social media users: Thanks to everyone who shared information about what happened during the series, the ensuing riot and the cleanup afterwards.  When it comes to sharing information,  the average citizen has as important a contribution to make as any member of the media.

* Finally at BC Family a big thanks go out to Brian O, Warren Wong, Kim W. and Laura B for sharing their enthusiasm and celebration ideas for hockey nights in British Columbia.  The Vancouver Canucks are fortunate to have you in their fan base.

The Vancouver Canucks team mates speak about the riots, their loyal fans, the real Vancouverites and civic pride.

We’d love to hear from you so don’t be shy! You can comment about this posting using the comment function below or visit us at our Facebook page.

Sargeaunt to Sandford (Assistant Under-Secretary)
Offices of the Crown Agents for the Colonies
Spring Gardens, London, S.W.
29 July 1869
With reference to your letter of the 24th instant, and to a despatch from the Officer Administering the Government of British Columbia No 13 of the 21st ultimo, I have the honor to state, for Earl Granville's information that the Crown Agents have received in due course the remittances mentioned in the 3rd paragraph of that despatch to the extent of £13150, not £13160.
2. If it had been the custom of the local Government to remit a sum of £2000 on the 1st of each month, with an extra sum of £1000 in the month of June in each year, and to make due provision for any other expenditure incurred at its request, the British ColumbiaaccountManuscript image account at this Office would not have been the subject of so much correspondence.
3. The sum required annually at this Office for interest and sinking funds on the British Columbia and Vancouver Island loans is £24,750, and as the year commenced with outstanding claims amounting to £2125, the sum of £26875 would be sufficient to meet liabilities in respect to loans during the current year.
4. From Mr Julyan's letter of the 8th and mine of the 21st Decr last
Manuscript image
Agents/13558-68, Agents/13989-68.
it will be seen that the Colony as against that liability commenced the year with £4110, which with the amounts remitted during the six monthsendingManuscript image ending with June last and the sums promised would show a balance on the 31st December next of about £3000 in favor of the Colony.
5. Promised remittances are not however very tangible assets, and the local authorities appear to lose sight altogether of the fact that money paid away on General account is not still available; the enclosed statement shows that the payments of that nature during the current year amount already to £1267.19.8.
6. If then no further payments on General account are required during this year, and the promised remittances are made, the Crown Agents' accountwillManuscript image will on the 1st January next, commence with a balance of about £2000, but the liabilities for interest and sinking funds accruing in January next will amount to £8250.
Manuscript image
7. Under these circumstances I need scarcely add that the arrangements proposed by the Officer Administering the Government will not furnish sufficient funds to meet the regular and incidental liabilities of the Colony.
8. By the proposed arrangement the amount due at this Office in January next would be remitted from BritishColumbiaManuscript image Columbia in instalments in that and the three following months, so that the Colony would not provide the funds due here in January till the month of May when the April remittance might be expected to reach this Office.
9. That the financial position of the Government of British Columbia at this Office is very imperfectly understood by the local Authorities is only too clear from the despatch I am now reporting on by Lord Granville's directions, but that it is so cannot be attributed to the want of explanations furnished from this Office with peculiar frequency.
10.Manuscript image
10. If the arrangements proposed in my letter of the 22nd instant meet with Lord Granville's approval,

the amounts due to Sinking Funds up to 15th January last, except £800 due to the Vancouver Island Sinking Fund, will have been paid and all interest up to date, so that in addition to the money already remitted and acknowledged the following amounts ought to be sent in time to be available on the dates mentioned:
£ 800 due to Trustees of Sinking Fund on 1st Jany last.

11.Manuscript image
11. In place of the promised remittances during the last six months of this year, amounting to £12,800, the Crown Agents ought to be furnished with funds available before January next amounting to £18350.
12. The arrears due to the Sinking Funds at present amount to £5975; if this debt was cleared off future remittances ought to be made annually from the Colony to be available at this Office on the following dates:
On 1st October £ 4125
   1st & 15 Jany 8250

Many African-Americans Still Favor Gun Control, but Views Are Changing After Emanuel AME Church Shooting

Horace Augustine was raised in Oklahoma City by a mother with strong convictions about guns: She didn’t want them in her house. Faith, she insisted, would keep her family safe.

Augustine, now an account executive with a staffing agency in Atlanta, has recently found himself at odds with his mother’s views: He wants to buy a gun, in part to protect the church he attends.

Augustine began thinking last year that he should buy a gun for protection, and the shooting last month at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston intensified his conviction. As an African American and a board member of his church, Augustine worries about someone coming in with a firearm during services, and he wants to be prepared.

“They won’t be the only one pulling a trigger,” he said.

While it’s not yet clear what effect, if any, the church shooting in Charleston will have on gun purchases, a growing number of African-Americans across the United States have changed their position on firearms in recent years, breaking with a long tradition of gun control advocacy among blacks and embracing the kind of pro-gun positions that are more widely held by whites.

To be sure, attitudes toward guns are still deeply divided along racial lines, with 60 percent of blacks prioritizing controls on gun ownership over protecting gun rights, while 61 percent of whites say they consider gun rights more important than gun controls, according to a December poll by the Pew Reserch Center.

But the level of African American support for gun control has fallen by 14 percentage points since 1993, when it stood at 74% according to the Pew data.

During that same period, the number of blacks prioritizing gun rights over stricter gun controls nearly doubled, up to 34 percent in December from 18 percent in 1993.

Collins Idehen, a 31-year-old African American attorney in Texas,  said he used to hide his interest in guns because he was concerned about being stereotyped as a “young black thug.” Idehen, who makes YouTube videos under the name Colion Noir as a commentator for the NRA, worried there was no space to openly discuss his interest in guns.

As he put it in one video: “The image of black gun ownership has been hijacked and vilified by an anti-gun mainstream media.”

The NRA has made an effort in recent years to diversify its membership by partnering with millennials like Idehen, especially minorities and women.

“The N.R.A doesn’t care about your gender, race or anything else,” Idehan said. He said he feels welcome in the N.R.A. and believes the organization and the second amendment are color blind.

Still, some African-American gun supporters see a need for gun groups specifically aimed at their concerns. “If anyone should have the right or need to carry a gun, it should be the African-American community,” said Philip Smith, who earlier this year founded the National African American Gun Association, which he says now has a couple of hundred members.

He cited slavery and the Jim Crow-era South as reasons that blacks should arm themselves, noting that “all those things happened to us because we weren’t able to defend ourselves.”

Smith says he expects that the massacre in Charleston last month will draw more African Americans to the idea that guns are necessary for protection.  “Just think if one of those folks had a gun, or two or three,” he said.

The idea that guns provide protection appears to be quickly gaining currency among American blacks. In December, 54 percent of blacks polled by Pew said they believed guns were more likely to protect people than to put their safety at risk. That figure was up from 29 percent two years earlier. For whites, 62 percent said guns protect people, up from 54 percent in 2012.

Pew conducted the poll last year shortly after decisions clearing police officers in the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, and the timing may have had an effect on the black response, said Carroll Doherty, director of political research.

Smith understands that many African-Americans don’t embrace his views on guns, including some of his close associates. He has agreed to disagree, for example, with his friend, Lisa Bratton, a history professor at a historically black college.

“I do know it’s far too easy to get a gun in this country,” Bratton said. “To me, it’s obvious, there’s so much violence in this country.”

Jooyoung Lee, a sociologist who has studied the effect of gun violence on black men in Los Angeles and Philadelphia, said that he hears young black men in the inner city complaining that African American leaders at the forefront of the gun debate are distant from the struggles of those who may need guns to protect themselves.

Lee said his research found a strong sense of distrust between African Americans and the police. The perception was that “police don’t always respond when people are in trouble, and when they do, sometimes they beat and abuse people,” Lee said.

Mistrust of the government is strongly correlated to support for gun rights, said Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research. People feel like they have to take care of themselves, he said.

In some cases, that attitude has led – as it has with some white gun owners – to deliberately provocative displays of gun rights. At the Huey P. Newton Gun Club in Texas, formed last year after Michael Brown was killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, members participate in open-carry displays during demonstrations against police brutality.

Club co-founder Darrin Reed, who is also a member of the New Black Panthers, said more blacks are arming themselves now then in the past because the government and police have shown “they’re not able to keep drug dealers” out of African American communities.

“They failed to protect the black community,” he said.

  • Oracle OpenWorld Takes the Stage

    All right!  Recess is over!  If you went to Dreamforce last week you can be forgiven for taking a kind of victory lap in your head today because it was a truly great experience, besides if you are like me you are still tired.  One reason I think so many people like Dreamforce is its relentless focus on the future and on what will likely become standard practice in the not too distant future.  But also, if you went to the keynotes from M.C. Hammer to Colin Powel to Richard Branson to Tony Robbins, you left San Francisco with a certain “lightness of being.”

    However, if you are an analyst you need to put all of that behind you and get ready for Oracle OpenWorld (OOW), which promises to be a barn burner for its own reasons.  Same city, same Moscone Center, same closed Howard Street, similar large crowd — where Dreamforce was all about the social enterprise, OpenWorld is about a lot that might not be so clearly connected.  There’s hardware and operating systems and then software for the back office, front office, databases, middleware, and development tools.  There are things I’m leaving out too like the America’s Cup.  At OOW Oracle will provide a glimpse of its own into what the future looks like for the enterprise and in some ways it’s very different from what Salesforce is talking about and in some ways they are similar.

    This is not to say that one vision is less good than the other, far from it.  The competing visions reflect different world views and different realities.  For instance, while Salesforce approaches things from a clean slate perspective, Oracle takes the view that what it introduces has to work with what delivered before.  You can see this in its disciplined approach to supporting customers of the companies it bought way back in 2005.

    Companies like Siebel and PeopleSoft whose products are getting long in the tooth and are prime targets for Oracle’s new offerings that are based on its platform called Fusion.  You may recall that Fusion went GA (that’s general availability, not the mid-night train), more or less, at last year’s OpenWorld but it hasn’t exactly set the world on fire and there are persistent rumors that the stuff doesn’t work very well or that it requires a phalanx of consultants to make it do its tricks.

    The big hurdle for Oracle therefore will be to convince the assembled multitude that Fusion is real and that the path to the future goes through the intersection of Fusion and Big Iron.

    Speaking of big iron, last year the company rolled out some additional gear to complement its Exalogic computing devices.  It seems this family of hardware is built and optimized for very big jobs involving terabytes of data gazillions of users.  That’s exactly the kind of stuff the growing cloud computing movement might gobble up.  Currently data centers are masses of commodity servers in racks running feverishly but without a layer of sophisticated management that would optimize their utilization and reduce costs.

    There has been an interesting series of articles by James Glanz here and here in the New York Times over the last few days focusing on the power consumption and pollution caused by data centers.  The pollution comes from diesel generators periodically fired up to test the centers’ ability to withstand a power interruption.  The consumption is gargantuan.

    But a bigger question, for which there are ready answers, asks why so much power demand?  Part of the answer lies in how many companies are avoiding the necessary virtualization that will make the cloud much more efficient and sustainable.  According to the Times and backed up by McKinsey & Company, which did the analysis, conventional data centers run many CPUs and disks at much less than capacity in part to cater to the urban myth of the need to keep one company’s data separate from another’s.

    You’ve heard me on this before using the metaphor that we comingle our funds in banks and overlay the pool of deposits with metadata like account numbers and statements.  Why are we resisting do this with data?  Companies like Salesforce are already doing the same virtualization in the cloud and Oracle has an opportunity to strongly support virtualization and point to a more sustainable future.

    Will it?

    I’m going out on a limb to say yes.  Maybe it won’t happen right away but keep in mind that two or three years ago Larry Ellison ridiculed the cloud and now that he has modern hardware and software he’s a big proponent.  The next logical step would be to endorse the Exa-hardware as a sustainability tool for a power hungry planet.  I’m looking for some sustainability messaging from Oracle and it could even happen.

    This is not a digression.  Sustainability is not alien to ideas like mobility, cloud, social and analytics, you can’t separate them.  I think if Oracle wants to maintain its leadership position with many of the largest companies in the world, it needs to put a stake in the ground and become a thought leader here.  The next decade in IT won’t be like the one that preceded it and if Oracle simply comes out with a grocery list for replacing old hardware and applications with more modern stuff it will be missing a great opportunity.  At the end of the day people go to these conferences looking for new ideas and things they haven’t seen before.  That’s what I’ll be watching for.

Bearhawk Patrol & Piper PA18 Super Cub Comparison

The Piper PA18 Super Cub is probably the most appreciated and proven back country utility plane in the history of aviation. Since the 1950s, pilots’ lives have depended on the ruggedness and short field ability of the PA18. Perhaps no other airplane has a more devoted following because of the 60+ years of service in the back country. Today, there are many original Super Cubs still flying, and also many Cub “clones” with various design modifications attempting to improve on the 1949 original design, which itself could trace its development all the way back to the E-2 Cub of the 1930’s. The Super Cub wasn’t actually designed but evolved slowly out of the long line of Cub models that had existed before.

It has been suggested by some that if the PA18 were designed again today, it would look a lot like the Bearhawk Patrol.  Bearhawk Aircraft would like to outline some of the differences in the original Super Cub design and engineer Bob Barrows’ 2004 design work that ended up being the Bearhawk Patrol.  We know that the PA18 has a loyal following, but let us highlight some of the design and performance characteristics of the two planes.  It should be mentioned that a certified PA18 can be used for commercial purposes, and an experimental BH Patrol (or PA18 clone) will always be only a personal use airplane.  However, owning and operating an experimental category plane does have many advantages for the private pilot. Our hope is that pilots objectively looking for a two place tandem utility plane will find a new Bearhawk Patrol to be a desirable alternative.

BH Patrol

Stock PA18

Cabin Space

32” across

26” across, some PA18 clones little more

Wing structure (1)

Completely flush riveted, all aluminum skins, single strut

Fabric covered wings

Wing airfoil (2)

An efficient, modern Riblett GA30-4135 airfoil developed by Bob Barrows with assistance from airfoil designer Harry Riblett

1940’s 35B airfoil

Baggage door

21” x 27” unobstructed baggage door

Many now have a small triangular-shaped door up high. The tube structure does not really allow a bigger baggage door.

Landing Gear (3) Suspension system

Oil dampened spring shocks

Rubber bungee cords

Tail surfaces (4)

Airfoil shaped ribs on the hor. stabs and vert. stab

Flat tail ribs

Very big, high visibility side windows going far aft, a huge skylight over the cockpit

Also excellent visibility

Cruise (180 HP, 75% power)

130-143 mph, fixed pitch props

150-162 mph C/S props

90-95 mph

110-120 (fastest new Cub-based designs)

Stall speed (5)

Mid 30’s MPH

Mid 30’s MPH (stock wing)

Empty weights

900 – 1200 lbs

960 – 1300 lbs

Gross weight (6)

2000 lbs (utility category strength)

1500-1750 lbs, (standard category strength) 2,000 lb gross mod available

(1) An all aluminum skin, flush riveted wing is the strongest for its weight, has the most efficient drag characteristics because of the consistent wing shape (with no scalloping between ribs) and lack of rivet heads in the breeze. Throttled back to Super Cub cruising speeds, a Bearhawk Patrol will have at least a 30% fuel savings when compared to a PA18.

(2) Developed by Bob Barrows with airfoil designer Harry Riblett, this airfoil is a turbulent flow airfoil designed for back country flying and great stall characteristics. Very little pitching moment requiring minimal trim changes. At low airspeeds, will not produce the “moose turn stall”. This airfoil and wing structure are the main reasons for higher cruise speeds. Another major factor in the higher cruise is the single wing strut as opposed to the double struts required on fabric covered wings.

(3) Oil dampened spring shocks are very strong and do not have the tendency to bounce you back in the air. They “stick” very well upon touchdown.

(4) Airfoil shaped ribs on hor stabs and vert stab give more stability and control authority than flat ribs.

(5) The only way to really compare stall speeds is to do a wingtip to wingtip slow speed test. In 2012, Bob Barrows did this test flying next to a Northstar Cub with 190 sq ft of wing area. The stall break for both happened at the same speed/time. It was a tie with neither plane having a slower stall speed.

(6) Utility category strength translates into a 16% stronger structure when compared to standard category strength requirements. Added strength = additional safety.

Why I Write

I write because I love it. I really do. I love to put proverbial pen to paper (or fingers to my keyboard) and forge a story or an essay from a jumble of thoughts. I love to have the organisation and permanence of the page to contain the messy fireworks show that is my brain.

I write because I think I have some good ideas, ideas that tend to improve once put to paper. On paper I can give my own thoughts an honest assessment, whereas in my own mind they are assailed by a deep-set self-loathing implanted in me by years of gender dysphoria and the cruelty of others. Writing liberates my thoughts from the prison of my mind, and with editing and rearrangement and revisions I can make those thoughts better, clearer, and stronger. That’s why I write for myself.

My goal in writing for an audience is to educate, to entertain, and to provide a new perspective. I’ve always loved sharing information, ever since I was a little child and wanted to tell everyone about Scottish castles and the fantasies that I’d derive in my head. I like to tell stories, and in writing I can craft those stories to be better than anything I could tell off the cuff. Stories matter, and the way they’re told, who they’re told to, can change the world.

I want to be a writer because to be a writer is to sow the seeds of thought, of future culture. The words we read and hear shape the words we say in the future. My words are shaped by my predecessors, and I have the audacity to say that my words might help shape future culture to be a little more compassionate and thoughtful. I have no illusions about being the godmother of some great revolutionary movement, but if I write a story or an essay that sparks the mind of someone down the line, I’ve done my bit, and left the world a little better than I found it. That’s what we’re all really here for, right? To live our own lives well, and to improve the lives of others, both living and still yet to come. The way I can do that best is with my words, and my words are best when I write them down.

Exciting things are happening with An Unremarkable Girl! The memoir, co-authored with my amazing and supportive Mum Nan Seymour, is about my young life as a transgirl growing up in Utah and my struggle to inhabit my identity in the face of a conservative society and my own struggles with mental illness. We’ve recently signed with an agent and are beginning to explore our options for publishing- expect this blog to be a lot more active in the days to come! If you enjoyed this piece (or any of my writing) please feel free to share on Facebook, Twitter, or whatever social media you prefer. Thanks as always for reading!

Scammers Claiming to Express Advance America Target Maine People Leave a comment

Scammers Claiming to Express Advance America Target Maine People

Advance America, a provider that is national of loans as well as other economic solutions, has become alert to an innovative new revolution of frauds focusing on customers in Maine . These scam designers, posing as Advance America representatives to gather funds from naive customers, have been in no method associated with the business. Because of state laws, Advance America will not presently provide pay day loans to Maine residents.

Within the last couple weeks, in specific, scammers have actually contacted Maine residents claiming they have been pre-approved for the loan, after which asking them to get a prepaid debit card or cable cash as a “processing cost” or “good faith deposit.” In other instances, scammers look for to gather on “unpaid” cash advance financial obligation, often threatening arrest or appropriate action or demanding individual monetary information over the telephone. Scammers went so far as sending residents fraudulent loan papers making use of the Advance America logo design.

“Scammers frequently utilize the standing of a genuine, respected business to con victims from their cash,” stated Patrick O’Shaughnessy , president and CEO of Advance America. “Legitimate payday loan providers such as for example Advance America are very controlled at both hawaii and level that is federal won’t ever utilize the type of fraudulent and unlawful techniques utilized by scam designers.”

Advance America urges customers to determine the warning signs and symptoms of economic fraud and follow these methods for avoiding loan that is payday commercial collection agency frauds. If people suspect being scammed, they ought to report it straight away to law that is local and also to the financial institution that the scammer claims to express. If you have been contacted by somebody claiming to express Advance America, please phone 888-310-4238.

Discover signs and symptoms of a fraud

Federal legislation strictly regulates exactly exactly just how genuine bill enthusiasts and loan agents can perform company. The Fair that is federal Debt methods Act (FDCPA) particularly forbids loan companies from being abusive, unfair or misleading in express payday loan wanting to gather a financial obligation. What the law states particularly states debt collectors cannot threaten customers with jail or arrest time when they do not spend their bill. If somebody claims you will definitely face unlawful prosecution if you do not instantly wire them cash, it is probably a fraud.

Scammers might also claim you to get a prepaid debit card or wire money as a “processing cost” or “good faith deposit. you have already been pre-approved for a loan, after which need” Others may actually be identification thieves off to get the individual or information that is financial.

Steer clear of Scams:

Along with focusing on how loan providers and bill enthusiasts can run, customers should take steps to also protect on their own, including:

  • Never ever provide information that is personal as the Social Security number or banking account information online or over the telephone without confirming that you’re using the services of a genuine loan provider or bill collector. To confirm, phone the establishment straight straight back making use of an understood number, like the quantity noted on your declaration or from the straight straight back of one’s credit/debit card.
  • Be dubious of every email with urgent needs for individual information that is financial. If a message demands action that is immediate makes upsetting or exciting false statements, it is most most likely a fraud.
  • Verify business licenses whenever obtaining a loan on the web. Genuine loan providers will show state licenses on the sites to confirm that they’re full-service, certified lenders complying with state and laws that are federal.
  • Never ever wire cash or offer prepaid debit card information to a loan provider claiming you have got been pre-approved for the loan and must make a preliminary re payment as a “show of great faith.” Legitimate loan providers try not to offer approvals ahead of application and don’t need faith that is good.
  • Keep anti-virus, anti-malware, and spam e-mail protection computer software as much as date on all of your computing products.
  • Preserve an archive of all of the debt that is outstanding and consist of loan provider email address.
  • Frequently check always your bank, credit and debit card statements to make sure there are not any transactions that are unauthorized. Likewise, always check your credit history (using Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion) every four months on a rotating foundation; credit history in many cases are one of the primary places where indications of identification theft or fraudulence will show up.
  • If somebody draws near you claiming you owe them a financial obligation, need they offer written proof your debt since the statutory legislation requires – particularly if it really is for a charge a fee do not recognize.
