For certain major rivers and wetlands, hydrological information can often be difficult to obtain due to a region’s inaccessibility, the sparse distribution of gauge stations, or the slow dissemination of data. Satellite radar altimeters can potentially monitor height variations of inland waters [Birkett, 1998]. Hydrological products from satellites are unaffected by political and logistical considerations and can provide accurate height measurements not only for lakes but also for large rivers such as the Amazon, which has been a primary target of study over the last ten years.

Monitoring now covers at least 15 major rivers in all the world’s continents, and a wealth of others are possible, especially with the high-resolution altimetric range (20 Hz) available, or with altimetric waveform-specific retracking. Recent studies (Berry et al 2012) using individual echoes (‘bursts’) should give access to even more new targets. The assimilation of altimetry data in hydrodynamic models should also lead to advances in knowledge and ultimately even in forecasting hydrological systems.

What is a good starter bike?

W rong question. You're asking what the best starter bike is FOR THEM.
A better question is: "How do I figure out what the best starter bike is FOR ME?"

Here's how I would do it and I invite others to chip in their thoughts on the topic as well.

Body ergonomics first. If you're 5'4" and 28" legs, then a bunch of tall bikes aren't gonna work. If you're 6 foot, 250 lbs, you'll outgrow a Honda rebel 250 the first day you ride it.

Next, pre-existing injuries and medical conditions. If you have a history of carpal tunnel syndrome, a sport bike is gonna be a pain in the wrist.

Next, riding style. Street, dirt, city, country roads, what mix, percentages. If you plan to ride 2 hours up to the cottage and bang around the backroads, a 250 dual purpose is a far better choice than a 300 sport bike.

How much time in the saddle? What's realistic, in the context of work, family, other interests, time with significant other, etc. If you're spending ten hours a week commuting in the city and riding secondary highways, a comfy seat, upright position and windshield are assets.

Safety gear. Helmet, jacket, gloves, etc. The first year is expensive and the choices will be informed by the answer to the questions above. Cost it out, BEFORE buying the bike.

Photo by Geoff Orondo

Budget for a bike available after all the other monthly stuff is handled, like rent, food, etc.

Now you're down to a type of bike and an amount of money (AFTER safety gear purchases) available to own and operate a machine.

Do you have the cash flow to work your way up through a series of progressively larger and more challenging bikes, or do you need to get something that is uncomfortably big to begin with, but it will take you longer to outgrow it?

Pick a short list of five bikes. YouTube reviews, Craigslist, bike meets, etc. New is more expensive up front, is less maintenance, and more reliable. Older is cheaper to buy, less reliable, with more maintenance surprise

Spring + Summer Stitch Fix

Another season, another Fix.

Stitch Fix that is!

It’s been a little while since I’ve been able to get my hands on a Fix to spruce up my wardrobe for the spring and soon to be summer season, so I thought it would be fun to schedule one before an upcoming trip!

We are headed to Florida for a week of fun in the sun and obviously you know I needed a new thing or two to bring along with me.

I mean, that’s just common sense!

For this Fix I told my stylist that I would be headed out for a family vacation and that I love floral. Here’s what she sent me, check it out and let me know what you think!

And don’t forget -> If you want to try Stitch Fix out for yourself, please use my referral link to sign up AND check out my Stitch Fix page {I need to update this, but you can always use the Search Button on the right side of the page to see newer ones!} to get caught up on all my previous Fixes!

Market & Spruce Kesey Knit Romper $64

This is sort of amazing. It’s super soft, comfortable and POCKETS. It’s that amazing sort of material that you could roll up into a ball to throw into a suitcase and when you go to pull it out – no wrinkles.

That sort of material I love and need all day, everyday.

So yes, I am a fan of it all.

So much of a fan in fact that I have a  in almost the exact same colors and print from last season – just not as awesome of a material, which is a bummer. BUT it does go to show you that my Stitch Fix stylist gets me, since I own almost this exact same thing already! Ha!

{the one I own: #7 from this post}

But seriously, if you have a fix coming your way – totally request this because it is an awesome piece for summer!

Kaileigh Monique Floral Back Knit Top $44

This. Top.

Pretty much everything I love in a tee rolled up into one perfect little top. Grey {my favorite color} on the front + a gorgeous vintage floral {in a beautiful blue} on the back. Ah!

The colors don’t do this thing justice in these photos – it’s soooooo pretty. I love how it looks like a plain grey top from the front and then

Floral in your FACE!

This is cute you guys, I’m a fan. What do you think?

Market & Spruce Callahan Henley Top $44

This top is one of those pieces that you see when you sneak a peek of your Fix when you see it’s on the way and aren’t really impressed, but then it shows up at your door and you realize it’s totally your style in real life.

I love it when that happens.

It’s why I Stitch Fix!

So yes, another floral win in my book. Just not sure it’s something I need at the moment, but that has never stopped me before!

What do you think about this one?

Renee C Tif Criss Cross Back Top $44

This one is a little out of my style range. I enjoy the red and the pattern, but not sure if its something I love. Could be cute for a Memorial Day, Labor Day or 4th of July BBQ though!

And I do enjoy the cross back detail – its a nice little surprise in the back, just not sure it’s as much of a favorite for me as the other pieces.

Just USA Gracelyn Distressed Denim Short $44

These shorts are pretty cute.

BUT these shorts are pretty short.

I enjoy the fun multiple button detail and the distressed detailing at the hem. They even have a cute little rip up the side of the shorts – but lets be real. I’m a 30 something mom of two little boys. I have no business in these shorts – Ha.

They are cute and they look alright, but for me, I need a liiiiiitle more coverage. K, thanks – bye.

Now it’s the hard part!

I need your opinions to help me decide {if anything!} -> What to Keep! I’m on the fece about the two floral tops and I would love to know your thoughts. What are YOUR favorite pieces from what I received in this Fix?! Please tell me what you think!

What Should I Keep?

Compassion of Christ Video

I was guided to begin to make this video last Thursday for Easter. I have just put the finishing touches to it and uploaded it to YouTube.It features my painting of Jesus which emanates the divine light of compassion and Unconditional Love. Open your heart and allow the high vibrational Light to lift your Spirit. If you watch the image of Jesus carefully you will see his aura light up and the expression on his face change, as he seems to look deeply within to the core of your Being.
LinkedTube   The digital painting of Jesus can be purchased at Watch in full screen mode.

You Are Eternal!

We must remember that we are multi dimensional powerful beings of Light, we are Powerful Eternal Spirits who need fear NOTHING! In these troubled times it is easy to give into fear, and in this fearful state our LIGHT begins to dim.

As a powerful aware Being of LIGHT you must remember Who you really are and let your LIGHT shine brightly to enlighten these dark days and to lift the earthly vibration! If enough of us boldly shine our LIGHT on the world, it will become Heaven on Earth!

 The message from the Angels to us in these times of trouble and strife is-"Let go of grief, nothing is ever lost but merely changed. We mourn for ourselves."

Do not fear for the Angels are with you!

The Angel reading comes from the book Sacred Wisdom by Glenyss Bourne, a book of Angelic Guidance. Signed Fine Art Prints from the digital original of this painting are available here.

Linkin Park Gets Their Own Custom RX-78GP01-fb

Linkin Park GP01-fb

It’s extremely rare to hear of any Western involvement with the Gundam franchise which should probably come as no big surprise. After all, the only American to ever design an official Gundam, futurist Syd Mead, was responsible for Mustache Gundam which has been generally panned as a horrible design (I hear good things about the show, but I haven’t had a chance to track it down). So I greeted the news of Linkin Park and Gundam sent over by AZM Ally deepfreeze with some trepidation.

Linkin Park is providing the theme song to the Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. game entitled “Catalyst” seen here:

A little disappointed that there’s no actual Gundam in the theme song video. But that’s not all. “Catalyst” will appear on Linkin Park’s next album entitle “A Thousand Suns” which will drop November 24th. Bundled with the full album will be a custom HGUC 1/144 RX-78GP01-fb kit designed by the band shown above.

Frankly, I’m really disappointed with the custom paint job. Here you have the opportunity to design your very own official Bandai HGUC 1/144 kit and all you can come up with is a gray scale color scheme and a shitty shield sticker? I mean, this is the coolest damn event to ever happen to Western Gundam fandom and you turn out this shit?! Totally underwhelmed.

I was also a little confused with the choice of the GP01-fb, but then I remembered seeing the kit standing on the shelf in this video:

I’m disappointed because I so meh over all this. I mean, this is the first time an American band (American anything for that matter) is involved in Gundam. This should be pants crunching awesomeness! Instead, it all very soft pants. And no one wants soft pants, especially when talking about Gundam.

Music Schools in Transition, Pt. III

bookMost music schools look alike.  It’s quite amazing, that once inside a school, you can quickly forget where you are geographically.  Standardization resulting from accreditation requirements means that student experience from one school to another changes only slightly.  Curriculum is locked in (more on this in future posts).

Some schools are located in dense urban areas, while others are in isolated regions; some are housed within a university or college while others are independent.  Those within a university or college may be closely aligned, or even located within, while others are geographically separated.  The variations of location and configuration make an amazing array

So, in order to individualize a school, leaders must maximize the offerings available to them.

What matters?  –for musicians facing today’s professions and for musicians looking to create new opportunities:

  • Internships
  • Playing or singing opportunities with professional and semi-professional musicians
  • Interdisciplinary learning experiences with substance
  • Exposure to high-level performances and teaching
  • Meaningful involvement in the community.

Now match a few music schools from differing locations and configurations and imagine a bar graph that ranks each of these learning experiences.  The graphic displays will vary significantly.

Independent Urban School “A” may be strong in opportunities to play or sing, exposure to high-level performances, and internships, but may be challenged to provide interdisciplinary learning and meaningful involvement in the community.

Regional School in University “B” may be strong in providing interdisciplinary learning, exposure to high level performances, internships, etc., but challenged to provide gigs and internships.

What’s important is for schools to maximize the opportunities they have, not provide weak ones across the board in order to look like another school.  School “A” should provide the highest quality of what they can offer, and School “B” must do the same.

An example:  some schools offer a full-time performance faculty, while others provide all part-time ones.  The reasons for these differences usually have to do with geographic location, e.g. it’s not possible to provide a part-time tuba teacher when you are over 200 miles from the nearest city.  There are enormous benefits to studying with full-time performance faculty, as they are truly there for students all the time, but there are also significant benefits to studying with part-time faculty, who are also usually heavily involved in performance careers.

Schools must emphasize and maximize what they have – and be honest about it.

Amanda's Birthday

I spent yesterday with Amanda and we celebrated her birthday! I bought her a science-based card and shirt. Her being a food scientologist, and all. Our first adventure occurred with the discovery of a snake above her door. It found the birds nest that was there and, um, gorged itself. Dude, this is the shit that, apparently, happens when you live in the wilds!

Animal adventure concluded, we continued on. We had the Very Veggie from Brick Oven Pizza and some dark beer. Then we played with Perler beads! Because she was stunned to find out I never did that when I was little. It was really fun. My fingers are a bit fat for it but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Then we headed over to Hooters for trivia night. On the way, she noticed a mural. Um, yeah.

Affluent white folks and the slaves doing all the work. So after that discovery, we continued on our way. To Hooters. Where I felt dirtier than I ever did at a proper strip club. It's just...creepy. Like, a dude ogling a waitress at Waffle House, you know? Also, their food is terrible. On the plus side, our team won Trivia Night. Sadly, the chairs absolutely destroyed my back. Ugh. Hella pain.

All in all, a very interesting day! Also, I won a sex toy giveaway online! The perfect end to a damn memorable day.

  1. That snake thing is really upsetting. I wish I hadn't read this post.

  2. Sounds like a great day......except for the Hooters part......glad you got to enjoy some new experiences...except for the snake...

  3. Omg I totally thought those beads were something dirty but was then thrown for a loop when she was shocked that you hadn't played with them when you were little. :) I have never heard of them...

  4. Wait a minute! I'm Amanda, and my birthday was the 26th, and I don't remember doing any of this! WTF! :) Glad you had fun :)

  5. um, no offense, but isn't it food SCIENTIST, not food scientologist?

  6. Yes, it is food scientist. But food scientologist amuses me and annoys her.

Misha Designs offers exceptional, innovative body kits to car enthusiasts and supplies parts to many Porsche and Mercedes tuning shops and dealers in US and in the whole world. The brand is recognizable and popular in USA, Europe, Middle East and Asia for making great looking body kits at affordable prices. One of these body kits is for the Mercedes C-Class Black Edition.

The Mercedes C-Class is a great car and it takes a lot of guts to change it. But the American tuning company, inspired by the package for the Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series has manage to do an interesting job. The tuning means an aggressive front bumper, a ventilated hood and bulging fenders. The vehicle has also been equipped with revised side skirts, a trunk-mounted spoiler and a sporty rear bumper. A roof spoiler and an optional carbon fiber rear diffuser are available too.

The tuning package for the Mercedes C-Class also includes gloss black 19 inch alloy wheels which are wearing Continental Extreme Contact tires of size 235/35 in the front and 275/30 in the back. The body tuning kit is already available, though the price is not quite familiar yet.

WNBA Star Takes Off Season to Support Prison Reform

Maya Moore will go down in WNBA history as one of the best. Even in high school, the four-time champion won Gatorade’s Player of the Year and McDonald’s All-American. At UConn, she played forward, when the women’s basketball team won back-to-back championships in 2009 and 2010. Her first year in the league, Moore won Rookie of the Year. She had a 10-year stunt with the Minnesota Lynx, where they won four championships. In 2013, Moore earned Finals MVP.

Moore has taken a hiatus from her career as a professional athlete  to support a greater purpose. Not only has Moore refrained from the last two seasons of the WNBA, but has turned down competing in the Olympics.

“I’m in a really good place right now with my life, and I don’t want to change anything,” she said. “Basketball has not been foremost in my mind. I’ve been able to rest, and connect with people around me, actually be in their presence after all of these years on the road. And I’ve been able to be there for Jonathan.”

In 1997, Jefferson City, MO Jonathon Irons was convicted of burglary and assault. Irons was charged as an adult with a fifty-year sentence. Irons was then 16. Now at 40, Irons has the full support of Moore. Moore, originally also from Jefferson City, Missouri, learned about the case from a family friend.

Moore has spoken publicly in regards to her belief of Irons’ innocence and has assisted in payment for a great defense team. Moore is vocal about Irons’ childhood and former gang life. When Irons was originally interrogated by the police, he did not have proper council. There is absolutely no evidence at the scene of the crime that tied Irons to the burglary. There was a faulty witness, who initially did not believe she or he could identify the burglar, but was told by an officer to “give it your best shot”. In addition, his public defender did not have evidence that the prosecution withheld. There were three other incidences of Brady violations.

“My eyes are open to the huge reality of mass incarceration that we have in our country,” said Moore. “Prosecutors have an enormous amount of power in our justice system. When prosecutors are focused more on getting convictions as opposed to seeking justice and restorations in their community, people suffer.”

Moore wrote a letter to the Missouri General attorney, Eric Schmitt, regarding the state’s lack of empathy, even when facing the counter evidence and facts of the case. Schmitt in return filed a writ of certiorari against Judge Daniel Green, claiming Judge Green “abused” his authority when convicting Irons.

The trial is still active, however, now it is public knowledge that the original investigation was completely mishandled. This gives Irons a greater chance for appeal and hopefully exoneration.

This case has sparked a passion for prison reform for Moore. She partnered with Athletes for Impact to begin a nonprofit called Win with Justice that redefines what exactly a “win” is in the justice system and ending prosecutorial misconduct. Although the WNBA fans have missed Moore, her newfound passion will impact just as many lives or more.

It’s Scooter Sunday Monday and I just got back from out of town, so this is getting posted a day late. I know… the emptiness of not seeing that Twitter reminder for Scooter Sunday. We’ll be back to Sundays next week.

My original plan was to take some pictures of scooters in San Francisco while there this weekend, but that didn’t happen. There were so many of them and so little time, I didn’t feel like whipping out the camera to take pictures of each one we saw.

San Francisco Trip
San Francisco

On Friday, my daughter and I flew out to San Francisco for the Outside Lands music festival at Golden Gate Park. Friday’s nights headlining band was Radiohead. [click here for a gallery of photos]

The Video Screen Montage of Radiohead

Radiohead put on an excellent two hour show. The band was flawless. However, the sound engineers running the festival were flawed. Seriously flawed. The sound went out twice during their set. For at least 30 seconds each time. Not only that, but whoever planned the schedule was flawed. Multiple bands on multiple stages with 60,000 people packed into an area that was made for maybe 20,000 was extremely poor planning. Regardless, we enjoyed our first time seeing Radiohead live.

The show finished at 10pm. All attendees were encouraged to take public transportation. We took BART and MUNI to get there without any trouble. Getting back to the hotel was another story. It took us over four hours to go from Golden Gate Park back to our hotel near the airport. All of the buses were packed. No extra busses. Taxis were at least 4 hours out when we called for pickup. And there were still two more days to this. EPIC FAIL.

At least it wasn’t a VW bug they were trying to fit into

The next night was no where near the public transportation fiasco. We went to a pre-season Oakland Raiders game. I had been to NFL games before, but this was my daughter’s first. And BART took us right to the McAfee Coliseum, with a walkway leading right to the stadium.

Radiers game
Black & Silver on the field

They didn’t win [they lost to the Arizona Cardinals 24-0], but it was still fun to mingle with the serious fans. [of which there were a LOT]

Our last day, we headed downtown to ride the cable car…

Cable car

… and see Fisherman’s Wharf

Then back on the plane to head back to Utah.

“Goodbye San Francisco…” *sniff*

But wait… what about scooter coverage?… keep reading…

Scooter Dead?
Scooter at the Park

After taking my daughter for her first day back to school this morning, I came home and got my scooter. I went to start it and nothing… tried it again… nothing. I had to manually kickstart it. It had only been three days since I last rode it, I didn’t think there would be any issues. But obviously, there was. The battery was pretty much dead. I didn’t have time to charge it [trickle charge takes 12 hours], so after kickstarting it, I hopped on and went to work. Going to lunch, I had to kickstart it again. Same with going home at night. GRRRR!!! Frustrating.

According to the manual, it says it needs at least an hour of continuous riding time to fully charge the battery. I’m lucky to be on it 10 minutes going to work and 15 minutes coming home. Do that five days a week and it adds up to well over an hour, just not continuous. Once home from work, I got out the charger tonight and put it on the battery [it only take about five minutes and an extension cord]. So when I get up in the morning, I will take it off the charger and it’s ready to go for another few weeks.

That’s All Folks

Speaking of ready to go, that’s it for this week. I am working on getting more posting and more often. I lead a busy life, as you have read, but never too busy to post some scooter goodness for my readers. Until next time….

Changes are coming, just not consistent ones.

For the last 3 years, I’ve been a MobileMe subscriber. During that time, it’s changed here and there, but I’ve rolled with the changes the best that I can and without too much of a headache.

My biggest use of the service is to have my Calendar and Contacts synced to the cloud, stored locally under iCal and Address Book – so all of my Macs, iDevices and my Palm Pre – can all have the same calendar entries and contact listings. And up until now, it’s worked flawlessly. On each Mac [I use three at home], I have my MobileMe account setup to automatically sync my iCal and Address Book data to the cloud. For my Palm Pre, I use the application The Missing Sync to sync my Calendar, Tasks and Address Book data to that phone (via WiFi), adding a non-Apple device into the perfect mix of synced data on every device and Mac.

But Apple has changed the format of it’s MobileMe Calendar to use CalDAV, which is an industry standard way of hosting a calendar in a central location, adding their own twist to that: syncing from local calendars is not supported. This is largely due to Apple discontinuing their use of Sync Services and moving to only CalDAV, where the calendars are hosted in the cloud on the MobileMe service. The local calendars in iCal are then replaced by synced online calendars. This is a problem if your non-Apple devices are needing local calendars to sync from. And while I’m sure some of the third-party utilities like The Missing Sync, BusySync or Spanning Sync will have an update to support local to online calendar syncing, it’s not clear if they will be ready by the May 5, 2011 deadline to cut over to the new calendar format.

So that leaves us users that rely on Sync Services in a lurch. And yes, most of this is tied to my use of a non-Apple device, but some of it is also related to my recent explorations of the Google Calendar.

Google Calendar

Supported by all of my devices, Google Calendar is becoming a viable option for keeping everything in sync. And using a program like Spanning Sync, it will keep my local iCal calendar in sync for my Palm Pre. In my tests with a trial version of this great little utility, my calendar data has been kept in sync with all of my appointments and events.

No Tasks

But one critical piece missing that doesn’t sync to Google are tasks. They remain local to iCal, or if you are using the new MobileMe calendar format, they will sync to that and be stored in the cloud. But Google doesn’t have a Tasks API yet, which leaves tasks on their own.

Exploring Options

Other users are also lamenting the change as it affects their overall work flow. I completely agree as I’ve had to spend time considering changing my options to make it all work better. I’ve not made any decisions on what I plan to do here, as I still have over a month to see how to keep my calendar and tasks in sync, including MobileMe in the mix. For now, I have turned off calendar syncing to my other two Macs, leaving only the syncing of Contacts between all my systems and devices. I will have another post as it gets closer to the May cutoff date on what the final array of configuration will look like. Stay tuned.

Soul's Cry
Mar 20th, 2003 at 6:53am

The pain of abuse
and of misuse never goes away
The fear and the anger
caused by a friend or stranger
Is always hidden deep inside
I beg of peace, of final release
Of all these emotions that plague me
I beg of freedom from the nightmares
from the flash backs
Freedom from that fear and that anger
My heart cries out for the understanding
That my soul is demanding
I need to know why
I must hurt so deep in side
I need to know why
I must cry every night.

Trump: With Obama giving 150 billion U.S. dollars to Iran, 5 billion will not repair the wall? fact……

2018-12-15 00:25:27 289 ℃

Summary: Accountant Trump: Obama gives $150 billion to Iran. Iran: Only received 29 billion!

[一牛财经], according to the Russian satellite news agency, Trump has been trying to persuade Congress to allocate funds to build the US-Mexico border wall, but the results have been minimal, and he has not been able to get the Democratic Party Support for this matter.

On the 12th, local time, Trump launched a new round of attacks on the Democratic Party on the social platform. The Democratic Party and former President Barack Obama gave Iran 150 billion dollars and found nothing. So why can’t they Take out $5 billion to build the border wall to ensure US national security?

Obama gave Iran 150 billion dollars?

Obama and Iranian President

There are reports that the Obama administration signed the Iraqi nuclear in 2015. After the agreement, the United States provided assistance to Iran. However, according to Jack Lew, the finance minister of the Obama administration, the aid was about $56 billion. However, the data provided by the Iranian central bank is only $29 billion.

Does the remaining $121 billion enter the Obama pocket? Obviously, this is just Trump's fuss. Because Trump wants Congress to provide $5 billion to build the US-Mexico border wall, and the Democratic Party does not want to give Trump more than $1 billion.

In addition, according to Reuters, Trump has warned that if the border wall is not given money, the US government is likely to stop. At present, US government funds will be exhausted on December 21, which means that the Trump administration may have to "close the door" to spend this Christmas.

Where is Trump spending money?

Data shows that in the past 2018 (October 31, 2017 to September 30, 2018) In the United States, the US federal government earned 3.33 trillion US dollars, but the budgetary expenditure was 4.11 trillion US dollars. The two were reduced, and the deficit reached 780 billion US dollars, accounting for 3.9% of GDP.

The above picture is the US fiscal expenditure chart for 2017, you can see:

  • First place: Social security and unemployment insurance expenditures of 1.39 trillion US dollars, accounting for 33%;

  • Second place: medical insurance expenditures of 1.17 trillion US dollars, accounting for 28%;

  • Third: Military expenditures of $632 billion, accounting for 15%;

Regardless of the military expenditure, the US military defense budget for the 2018 fiscal year is close to 700 billion US dollars, while in 2017 China's military expenditure is only about 151.7 billion US dollars, which is 1/5 of the total US military expenditure.

In October, Trump said that the fiscal deficit was too high and proposed to the cabinet to cut spending by 5%. When asked if the Pentagon's military spending also needs to be cut by 5%, Trump said: The Ministry of Defense can be exempted.

But this may be understandable. After all, Trump adopts a conservative trade policy and pursues "US priority." In order to avoid "retaliation" from countries such as Russia and Iran, it is necessary to give more military security "safety" to countries around the world.

Trump is "working hard" to generate revenue

According to The Wall Street Journal, December 7 According to data released by the US Treasury and the US Census Bureau, the amount of tariffs imposed by the United States in October this year was $6.2 billion, an increase of $1.8 billion from September's $4.4 billion. Moreover, this is twice the amount of $3.1 billion in the same period last year. This also sets the record for the largest monthly tax revenue in US history.

In this regard, Trump is happy to show off on Twitter:

"We are now receiving billions of dollars in tariffs, which makes the United States rich again."

However, what he doesn't know is that, according to statistics, from May to October, US companies contributed a total of 7.4 billion US dollars to the US Treasury. Moreover, US companies are also facing counter-measures in China, Canada, Mexico, and the European Union. Trade Partnership According to statistics on the amount of US merchandise exports, in October this year, US exporters paid more than $1 billion in tariffs to other countries.

In short, if Trump really counts on the $6.2 billion in October to make the US rich, he can only say: You are happy.

J.T. Thomas, New York Giants (June 13, 2017)

J.T. Thomas – © USA TODAY Sports

The New York Giants have waived fullback Shane Smith and placed linebacker J.T. Thomas on Injured Reserve with a groin injury that he suffered in week 2 against the Detroit Lions.

To fill those roster vacancies, the team signed defensive end Nordly “Cap” Capi off its Practice Squad and re-signed linebacker Deontae Skinner, who was cut by the Giants on September 2nd.

Smith was signed by the Giants as an undrafted rookie free agent after the 2017 NFL Draft.

Thomas was originally drafted in the 6th round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. The Bears waived him in August 2013 and he was claimed off of waivers by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Giants signed Thomas in March 2015. In 2015 with the Giants, Thomas played in 12 games with 11 starts, missing four games with an ankle injury. The Giants placed Thomas on Injured Reserve in September 2016 after he suffered ligament damage to his left knee in the regular-season opener.

The 6’3”, 249-pound Capi was originally signed as undrafted rookie free agent by the Jacksonville Jaguars after the 2015 NFL Draft. Capi has spent time with the Jaguars (2015), Baltimore Ravens (2015), Atlanta Falcons, and Arizona Cardinals (2016-2017). While Capi has not played in an NFL regular-season game, he did stand out with the Cardinals as a linebacker during the 2017 preseason, both rushing the passer (15 pressures and 1.5 sacks) and defending the run.

Skinner was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the New England Patriots after the 2014 NFL Draft. He has spent time with the Patriots (2014-2015) and Eagles (2015-2016). The Giants added to and released Skinner from the Practice Squad multiple times in 2016. He also was signed to the 53-man roster in October and again in December.

Running back Shane Vereen (calf), running back Orleans Darkwa (back), offensive lineman Brett Jones (hip), defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle), and linebacker Jonathan Casillas (ankle/wrist) did not practice on Thursday.

Right tackle Bobby Hart (ankle) and linebacker B.J. Goodson (shin) practiced on a limited basis.

Cornerback Janoris Jenkins (ankle) fully practiced.

Transcripts and video clips of the media sessions with the following coaches are available in The Corner Forum and at Giants.com:

Transcripts and video clips of the media sessions with the following players are available in The Corner Forum and at Giants.com:

Head Coach Ben McAdoo and select position coaches and players will address the media on Friday. There is no media availability on Saturday. The Giants play the Buccaneers in Tampa on Sunday afternoon.

2012 Round 4 Race Report - Castle Combe

posted 20 May 2012, 06:28 by Kieren McDonald
It made a nice change for us to be able to arrive early at Combe to get set up and do the required checks to the car, plus fit the new discs and pads. We managed to do a track walk of the circuit as we had not been there before and had a nice relaxing BBQ and chat in the evening - the weather, to add, was lovely!!

The weatherman was certainly right...the weather on quali/race day was atrocious!! No doubt about the tyre choice. Spectators at the circuit and those tuned into the live Motors TV coverage were in for some great action!

Quali was a mixed affair - se7en's with migs, as would the races be. With it being a new circuit and wet, it certainly wasn't an overly enjoyable time out on circuit. Every few seconds I would have to come off the power to allow a safe overtake, not knowing how the track/river conditions would be. I was having to pump the brake slightly before decent pressure, although the fluid had been checked prior to going out. I think I struggled to get any heat into the old wet tyres, as I was just all over the place...understeering one minute and then oversteering the next. It was difficult to try and concentrate on my own drive and build some confidence with the conditions, as there wasn't even one clean lap. I thought I would be right at the back so was surprised to hear I had qualified 11th.

The conditions did not let up for the mixed race - my main mission was to get some heat in the tyres. I certainly wouldn't have minded some fresh wet tyres for some grip but for only a few wet races in the season and plenty of other skills to perfect, it doesn't make sense quite yet.

We started behind the Miglia's and with my positioning on the grid, I couldn't even see the lights!! I had to just watch the front migs and go when I saw them move, not ideal. I made a position or two off the start, even though I was a little slow to get going. The run to Quarry was a bit heart-stopping with no visibility whatsoever (check out my in car video!!)...the objective was just to get through cleanly on that 1st corner, which is known to claim so many victims!

The grip levels were pretty much the same, although I was getting some heat into the tyres and the grip was coming. My brakes were still the same so I still had to pump the pedal slightly before it felt good....a few entertaining slides through Bobbies and Camp Corner.  Confidence was certainly building with the grip levels as I was having a good clean battle with Darren Thomas....that was until I faced a total brake failure! I pumped the brakes a fair few times before there was any feel and I had no drive so I had no choice but to retire on lap 6 just after Tower Corner - gutted! Up until then, I believe I had been running in 9th/10th and gaining in confidence.

Following inspection when back in the paddock, it appears as though the hub nut split pin had broke so that and the hub nut were non-existent! This had led to severe movement and allowed the outer cv joint to pop out! Upon reflection, we were lucky it did not end a lot worse!

Now we have to look ahead to one of highlights of the Mini7 calendar - double header at Brands Hatch, Mini Festival - check out the incredible line up here. Our aim will be to return Dave Robinson's block, get mine sorted, assembled and fitted. We're also looking to change the brake calipers, drive shafts and give the car a full once over to hopefully sort any remaining issues. We're really looking forward to the next event so hopefully we'll have a great weekend's racing :-)

Good work by Si as always and thanks to Rowenna for taking some great action shots at Combe - fantastic, especially with no experience!! More pics can be found on facebook.

Congrats to the podium winners for the Se7en's and Miglia's - full results/timings can be found here & the se7en's championship points table can be found here.

Excerpt from When Law Meets Grace:
"For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." John 1:17
If you want to understand what grace is about, you must understand that it is the law wrapped in the flesh with mercy.  Grace did not do away with the law; grace is the law....What grace does with mercy is this: it meets law and takes death out of the law.

Women’s Basketball Big 12 Tournament also in Kansas City

Kansas City, MO. – The Big 12 conference is officially taking over Kansas City, Missouri this week. While it is well known that the annual men’s basketball tournament will take place at the Sprint Center this week, the women’s basketball teams are also in town for their conference tournament as well this week.

The West Virginia women’s basketball team will play their first game in the conference tournament Friday evening, tipping off at 7:30pm CDT versus the Texas Longhorns.

The women’s basketball team is currently 17-12 this season, with a 7-11 record in the Big 12. The women’s team is currently ranked sixth in the conference.

With both tournaments taking place in Kansas City this week, there are rumors swirling that the women’s game times may be shifted slightly Friday and Saturday should men’s and women’s teams from the same schools play at the same time.

What about Gran Canaria?

I was recently on holidays with my husband in Gran Canaria, one of the seven islands of the Canary Islands and the second most populous one. The island is beautiful and the local people are very friendly. They remind me so much to the people from Central America and the Caribbean. For this reason I will consider Gran Canaria like the European Caribbean. During my stay I got to know that the unemployment rates in the island are the highest in Spain and probably one of the highest in Europe. 30% of the local people have no job and this goes up to 50% between youth. I find this totally amazing and besides the general financial crisis I think the main reason for this is the tourism model that the island, as well as all the other coast areas in Spain, has adopted: a massive sun and beach tourism with high dependency on tour operators and cheap prices. Although Gran Canaria received more than 3 million tourists last year the impact on the economy was apparently not enough to improve the local working opportunities.

Dream Office

You know where I’d like to work? At the Utne Reader. I was catching up with the latest issue and even though I think I read a wide variety of magazines, I’m always amazed by the new journals I discover within the Utne pages.

This issue in particular is a good one if you are looking for some indie magazines as they have their 18th Annual Utne Independent Press Award nominees. You’ll find nominees in the categories of best new publication, political coverage, best writing, etc.

I went to their web site to look for more information on one of the magazines and I find that they have a regular column, “From the Stacks,” every Friday which features the highlights of what’s arriving in their office.

The Utne Reader’s Library gets 1,500 magazines, newsletters, journals, weeklies and zines! OMG. See why I want to work there. Of course in my little dream world I’d be reading stuff and probably not doing much else.

Anyway, have you discovered a great magazine or zine through Utne? If so please share.

Dance of the Happy Shades (First US Edition)

BY Alice Munro
Book Information1Thus/1/0/US/MGH/1973/?  •  220x150x27  •  465  •  Nobel'13  •  GGA'68

This US edition of "Dance of the Happy Shade" was published in the fall of 1973 by McGraw-Hill New York, but it is not the true first edition. The true first edition is the Canadian version published in September 1968 by Ryerson Press. To be clear, Munro's early bibliographical sequence is the Canadian version of "Dance of Happy Shades" in 1968, followed by the Canadian version of "The Lives of Girls and Women" in 1971 and then the US version in 1972. This US edition of "Dances" is the fourth published work. As a result, some American booksellers continue to think that "Dances" is Munro's second work. The reason for delaying this short story collection, according to Thacker*, was McGraw-Hill's concern that the sales of such a short story collection by a relatively unknown Canadian author would be weak. This was despite the fact that "Dances" won the 1968 Governor General's Award (GGA), the most prestigious Canadian literary prize akin to America's Pulitzer.

This is the first US edition first printing with first state dust jacket that is unclipped, reflecting the correct price of $6.95. Like the Canadian edition, the dust jacket is made of thick dull yellow cardboard-like paper that feels sturdy, unlike some very fragile jackets produced at that time. The book is bound in black clothed board with silver lettering, and has no topstain. The copyright page should state "First Edition in the United States of America 1973".

This book is increasing rare and a VG copy with first state dust jacket can be purchased at Abebooks for $200 onwards. This is a NF copy with a NF dust jacket and a NF book.
There are no official signed first editions but you can find signed copies of this edition. Munro's signature is rather simple, so caveat emptor.

Rob writes to Desley, again

  • The Hon Desley Boyle MP
    State Member for Cairns
    Parliament House

    Dear Desley,

    It’s been a long arduous road for me, I all but gave up. But there are new faces on the block and they have taken up the cause where I left off.

    The coming months are going to be pretty dramatic I feel. There will be the collection of 10,000 signatures at the Cairns Show, the Public Meeting and the March on the Cairns Port Authority, to demand they listen to the owners of the land, and a lot of publicity, probably Australia wide.

    You know I have always been passionate about saving Heritage, even though the Aquatic is not my own, I have deep empathy for it because of my own Heritage way back in 1869, when my Great Grandfather, Alexander Johnston headed for what was then known as Gould’s new country, in Tasmania.

    There were no roads even between Falmouth and St. Helens, and the Scamander River and Jason’s Gates were alone spanned by bridges. Alexander immediately became chairman of the local Road Trust. His energy in this honorary position for many years was most conspicuous. The selectors from the hills and valleys, and the isolated miners, were constantly appealing for assistance.

    Thus it was that the chairman, supported by his co-trustees, Messrs. Payne, Terry, McGough, Irwin and Gifford, all worthy exponents now numbered with the departed, was able to so co-operate with the late Sir George Davies, who then represented the district in the Assembly, in providing roads right into the extremely isolated portions of Portland. Roads and bridges paved the way to progress, and eventually led to the present prosperity.

    For 27 years my great grandfather worthily occupied a seat upon the bench as an honorary justice, and as Coroner he performed the duties for 23 years. His residence and the Church he built are now on the National Heritage Register.

    You have no chance of emanating emulating that Desley, but you do have a chance of listening to the community that elected you to Parliament. The ones that pay you a large amount of remuneration.

    I have been an Honorary Justice of the Peace and Commissioner for Oaths for 40 years myself. I know that if I get a penal sentence I will lose my Commission.

    I feel that the people of Cairns have been done a great injustice. I have searched my conscience and came up with the position that I could not be true to myself if I let you and your government perpetrate the injustice of demolishing their heritage.

    I am prepared to be arrested and locked up if it comes to that. On my day in court I know what I will say to the Judge.

    Yours sincerely,

    Rob Williams JP (Qual.)
    Lake Placid, Caravonica

Hmm, perhaps our esteemed JP should buy a dictionary.

Or did he mean emulating?

If you are going to be rude, you can at least have the decency to get the word right.

Anonymous said...

Thanks for that Anonymous. I can sleep well with the knowledge that I have an honorary proof reader who has access to a Dictionary. Don't forsake me now I don't have anyone who can check the checker. Trouble with this game is you only see what I write, not what "they" write.

Anonymous said...

This blog is getting a bit antsey isnt it ?

Anonymous said...

I think both words are appropriate for Desley? She is both emulating the wrong role model, and emanating the wrong malodorous substance?

Anonymous said...

I agree Anon, Just finished watching Paton again. He was one son of a bitch. We need people like him to stand up for History. He lived by it.

    Fibersteel™ Construction

    Durability is paramount with it comes to your home investments. That’s why Cal Spas hot tubs utilize the exclusive Fibersteel™ Construction Process. The finest acrylic sheets are vacuum molded into shape, then reinforced with vinyl ester and fiberglass. After curing, the shell receives a resin filler coat, fiberglass and calcium carbonate. Stiffener reinforcement supports and 1.5 inch angled irons are added to ensure maximum strength. A final filler coat is applied to seal, bond and toughen the overall structure.

    Bio-Clean™ Antimicrobial Filter w/ Teleweir Gate

    Our Eco-friendly Bio-Clean™ Antimicrobial Filter utilizes a special bacteria-fighting agent that is molded into the fabric. This unique protectant prevents harmful microbes and bacteria from reproducing and re-entering your water system ultimately minimizing the need of chemical sanitizers during regular cleaning and maintenance.

    Whisper Hot™ Titanium Heater

    Titanium’s inert properties resist corrosion and calcium build up, making it the most advanced and reliable heater in the industry.

    Thermo-Shield™ Insulation

    Insulation Cal Spas Thermo-Shield™ insulation system starts by installing a unique material primarily comprised of post consumer recycled denim. This 3” thick insulating material foundation is then thermally bonded with a 99% pure aluminium reinforced foil sheet on one side creating a radiant heat shield which directs motor and equipment heat back into the spa, retaining residual heat and increasing energy efficiency. Next, we install a layer of dual walled reflective bubble foil to the floor area of the spa to reflect heat upward into the spa seat and floor. Finally we add an ABS liner or ABS moulded pan that locks in heat and keep moisture out.

    Feather Touch Control Panels

    An intuitive electronic spa control system designed to easily adjust the settings of the spa to meet your therapeutic needs.

Camp Weasel struck by lightening
User: Weasel Larry

Rating: 0

Camp Weasel was struck by lightening sometime between June 30th and July 7th.  Weasel Gregg accompanied by weasel in training Carson, arrived at Camp Friday afternoon July 7th and discovered two broken windows.  The screens were not damaged, but the glass was shattered.  Upon further investigation he learned that a tree north of the cabin had been struck and the ground between the tree and the cabin was all torn up.  Our coax TV cable was fried and a couple of the connecters were fried.  I will be going up this week to try and restore TV service and begin window repair.  We are fortunate the damage was limited, as we could have lost the cabin.

Dreaming of Fall in Wisconsin...

(ABOVE: a shot I took of Dretzka Park in Milwaukee, WI. So pretty!)

About a year ago around this time, I was sent from Oregon to Wisconsin on a business trip. I went on various upper Midwest trips to various offices last year for work. On each venture, I was joined with the same fabulous group of employees and we became quite good friends.
(ABOVE: Me inbetween work meetings. I LOVE a bold blue/purple/green top and black pants.)(ABOVE: Me in a Dretzka Park in Milwaukee, WI)

Before my first pending trip to the Cheese state, I could only imagine that it would be a desolate land of hicks with beers in hand wearing slices of dairy on their head. What a lovely image I painted for myself, right?
(ABOVE: Me in another park in Milwaukee, WI. 10/08)

Well, when I arrived in Milwaukee, WI in October of 2008, I was so beyond shocked at how beautiful it was. The Vibrant colors were amazing, the people were so friendly and the weather was as perfect for Fall as it gets.
(ABOVE: Me at the Dretzka golf club. That is one of my FAVORITE jackets. From Forever 21)

Inbetween business meetings, trainings and dinners - I often asked one of my good friends in the group to take walks with me. Each day we went to various parks as I stood there dumbfounded by the beauty.

I often try to tell people that Oregon isn't as hickish as it seems and I kick myself for thinking so little of Wisconsin before even seeing it. It was beautiful and I definitely hope to visit again soon.

Not to mention, walking around in beautiful scenery and taking pictures is bar none, one of my favorite things to do.

Unlike a lot of people
(though I bet most girls attracted to this blog DO love dressing up), I love dressing up formally for work. Long black pencil skirts, expensive briefcases and blouses? Sign me up! I love the contrast of work clothes in a rural photo. Reminds me of the difference between what you have to do in your life and what you want to do.

Besides - where else but Milwaukee, WI can you take a picture with a statue of the FONZ right downtown?? :)
