Jessica Harrow is dead. She doesn’t remember how she died, and oh yeah, she’s also a reaper tasked with ferrying souls of the dead to the next phase in their life. It’s a routine night, Jessica picks up a new charge and leads him from the site of his death to where he’ll be processed for the next stage. But something goes terribly wrong putting Jessica in a disconcerting and surprising situation.
On the surface, the premise of Grim seems fairly clear, but the first issue left a lot of questions on the table. Stephanie Phillips introduced the lead characters and concept swiftly and succinctly, while artist Flaviano and colorist Rico Renzi set the tone. Phillips gives Jessica limited dialogue, but she speaks volume through the art. The visuals could be limited to a dark, moody palette, but instead it has a range of colors and light to symbolize what’s behind multiple locations.
Grim is off to a good start.

On November 30, 2016, Port St. Lucie Police arrested Sherry Renee Logiudice for burglary and attempted grand theft after she was found in her neighbor’s house rummaging through the closet.
On Wednesday, November 20, 2016 at around 7:30 am, Port St. Lucie went to the 2200 block of SE Mandrake Circle for reports of a burglary in progress. Once police arrived on scene they found Logiudice inside the victim’s house. During the investigation police learned that another neighbor of the victim saw Logiudice walk to the rear of the victim’s house. The neighbor watching the house went to the rear of the house and noticed the rear sliding door was open. He went inside the house and saw Logiudice inside rummaging through the master bedroom closet.
The neighbor called the victim who is out of town in Manatee County. The victim told the neighbor that Logiudice is not suppose to be in the house and she subsequently called the police. Police arrived on scene and found Logiudice inside the house. During the investigation police found a pile of the victim’s clothes by the front door. Police also found that the victim’s closet had been rummaged through with a several pieces of clothing off their hangers on the floor of the closet.
Police arrested Logiudice for burglary and attempted grand theft. While searching through the pile of clothes by the front door police located a BB gun rapped in an article of clothing.
Logiudice was taken to the St. Lucie County for booking.

Is there a HomePod 2 model from Apple in the works? According to early sources, Apple is still working on Siri-enabled smart speakers, and a new HomePod with an S8 chip could be released before the end of the year.
The difficulty with the Apple HomePod 2 rumors is that they presently focus on two distinct designs, one with an Apple TV 4K built-in and one without. At this time, the only definite thing is that Apple HomePod Mini will carry the torch for the ensuing six months; nonetheless, we are not complaining. One of the best smart speakers available, it has excellent sound for its size and, at $99, offers a more inexpensive option to start utilizing HomeKit than was previously available.
But since the HomePod mini has been available for almost two years, we wonder when a new model with improved features will be released. After all, providing in-house hardware is a requirement if Apple hopes to surpass Amazon and Google in the smart home market and become a major member of Matter.
Here is everything we currently know about the Apple HomePod 2, HomePod mini 2, or whatever name Apple decides to give its upcoming Siri speaker. We’ve compiled all the price and release date rumors that have surfaced, along with what we want to see, and we’ve also thought about what Apple’s most recent HomeKit updates might imply for HomePod. Read More; Amazon Echo (4th Gen) Review: Still the King
Apple HomePod 2: Release Date and Price
Following the release of the HomePod mini in October 2020, Apple announced a trio of vibrant alternatives at a product event in October 2021. The initial HomePod was introduced earlier, during WWDC 2017.
What does this indicate about when the Apple HomePod 2 might be released? A new HomePod is practically overdue, whether it comes out this year or in 2023. With the recent introduction of the MacBook Air M2 and MacBook Pro 2022 with the Apple M2 chip, Apple is again bringing hardware to WWDC. As a result, the next HomePod may debut during the developer conference, if not sooner, at its planned September event.
Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst, predicts that the HomePod 2 could be available in Q4 2022 or Q1 2023. It appears more plausible that the AirPods Pro 2 will be introduced alongside the iPhone 14 and Apple Watch 8 before the holiday shopping season. Additionally, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg said that a new HomePod would debut in 2022, even though that information was released more than a year ago.
The size and design will affect the Apple HomePod 2 price. If it’s a direct replacement for the HomePod small, we anticipate it will still cost $99 dollars. The cost might be closer to the Sonos One ($219) or the original HomePod (initially $349, later $299) if it’s a larger speaker, perhaps with a display and better audio hardware.
Apple HomePod 2: Design
There isn’t really an “established” HomePod design, unlike the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch designs, which largely stay the same from year to year with the occasional major modification. While the HomePod Mini is small, round, and has a flat top with multicolored status LEDs, the original HomePod was big and cylindrical.
The exterior of the Apple HomePod 2 may still primarily mesh, but it may also experiment with new form factors. The best smart display or a HomePod with a screen was on Apple’s agenda, but Ming-Chi Kuo stated that “there may not be much innovation in hardware design.”
Apple might offer a solution for you if you like a display on your smart device. According to Mark Gurman, Apple is developing a smart display that combines an iPad and a speaker, similar to the Amazon Echo Show. If ever, this might not happen until 2024 or even the following year.
Apple HomePod 2: Latest HomeKit Upgrades
The ongoing development of HomeKit is one indication Apple might be working on a new HomePod model. Apple debuted an updated HomeKit app for iOS 16 at WWDC 2022, promising “faster, more dependable performance.”
HomeKit-compatible gadgets appear to be better organized in the redesigned app from what we demonstrated during the keynote. Quick access to frequently used devices is provided, and a new multi-cam view allows you to simultaneously monitor feeds from all of your home’s top security cameras. Each of your connected items’ icons and icon colors can also be changed. Giving kids power over particular HomeKit gadgets is also simpler.
Apple HomePod 2: What we want to see
Based on what the HomePod mini lacks and what we enjoy about other smart speakers, we have developed a short list of improvements for the Apple HomePod 2. Here is what the HomePod 2 should offer.
Display and/or camera: What if the next HomePod could challenge the Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) or Google Nest Hub Max? A display to the speaker would provide video conferencing from the kitchen or other key areas of the house and create an accessible smart home management hub. We don’t believe such a gadget would require iPadOS; it would only have standard Apple programs like FaceTime, Apple Music, and Podcasts.
Mobility: If the HomePod 2 doesn’t have a display, we’d prefer to see a wireless or portable version with an integrated battery. The next HomePod might also function as one of the top Bluetooth speakers, similar to the Sonos Roam or Bose Portable Home Speaker. Of course, it must have significant durability and battery life for outside use. Read Also; How To Create Your Own Alexa Routines
Support for third-party music streaming services: The one thing we’d change about the current HomePod is its compatibility with third-party streaming services (or lack thereof.) We enjoy Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, iHeartRadio, and other streaming music services in addition to Apple Music, which we consider to be one of the best. Although you can technically use AirPlay to stream most iPhone audio to a HomePod speaker, it would be lovely to ask Siri to play a Spotify-only podcast without interruptions.

Michael J. Fox's Wife Wasn't Afraid to Call Him Out When They First Met
Michael J. Fox met his wife on the set of 'Family Ties' when she was cast to play his love interest. What did she say that made him fall hard?
Love at first sight? More like love at first bite for Michael J. Fox and his wife when they first met on the set of Family Ties!
Michael recounted the story of how he fell for his wife in STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie. It's a documentary-style film about the actor's life on Apple TV Plus. She was cast as his love interest on the hit sitcom.
So, what did Michael's wife say to the actor when she first met him that convinced him that she was the "one"?
Here's everything we know about Michael's wife, Tracy Pollan.
Who is Michael J. Fox's wife?
Michael has been married to actor Tracy Pollan since 1988. Michael revealed in STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie (via Entertainment Tonight) that he fell hard for Tracy when she called him out for attempting to roast her on the set of Family Ties.
He remembered how he noticed a "hint of garlic" on Tracy's breath onset one day before they were supposed to film their first scene together. Michael thought he could have a little fun with it and tease Tracy.
The actor remembered how he joked around with her by saying, "Whoa, a little scampi for lunch, babe?' At first she said nothing. Her expression didn't even change. But looking me dead in the eyes she said slowly, 'That was mean, and rude, and you're a complete and total f--king a--hole.'"
Michael was impressed that his wife wasn't impressed with him.
While some A-list stars might've been insulted by someone taking their joke too seriously, Michael was quite impressed! He added, "Nobody talked to me that way. This woman was completely unintimidated by whoever I thought I was. A pig is a pig no matter how many hit movies he's just had."
Michael didn't realize at the time that Tracy was actually roasting him back! (Can you say a match made in heaven?)
The couple tied the knot in 1988 and have been total couple goals ever since, with Tracy staying lovingly by Michael's side for decades. They have even built a wonderful family.
How many kids do Tracy and Michael have together?
Over the span of their decades-long marriage, Tracy and Michael have welcomed four beautiful kids into the world, one son named Sam Michael Fox, and three daughters, Aquinnah Kathleen Fox, Schuyler Frances Fox, and the baby of the Fox family, Esmé Annabelle Fox.
Sam is the eldest, while Aquinnah and Schuyler are twins! The three eldest Fox kids are bonafide millennials, having been born in the 80s/90s, while Esmé was born in 2001.
Regardless of his status as a certified star, Michael frequently posts about how lucky he is to be a dad and husband on his Instagram page (you can follow him @realmikejfox). We love to see it!

For those of us who were in the trenches of the struggle against militant Islam beginning in the early 1990s, it is jarring to hear, of all people, Jamie Gorelick–now a member of the 9/11 Commission–hectoring government officials about their asserted failure to perceive how essential it is that the right pieces of intelligence get into the right hands. Equally bracing is to read the account of Gorelick’s star witness, former counterterrorism coordinator Richard Clarke–that hero of the last 15 minutes–who bemoans how, even though he “had asked to know if a sparrow fell from a tree” during the summer 2001, the FBI and CIA nonetheless failed to stitch together disconnected bits of information about al Qaeda operatives and flight schools.
No one in his right mind could say that intelligence breakdowns related to 9/11 are not worth exploring. At issue, though, is the proper explorer. One would have hoped the appearance of objectivity, never mind the reality, would be the 9/11 Commission’s guiding compass. Instead, the panel is beset by a gargantuan conflict of interest–and it’s starting to show.
THE ARCHITECT AS JUDGE
Commissioner Gorelick, as deputy attorney general–the number two official in the Department of Justice–for three years beginning in 1994, was an architect of the government’s self-imposed procedural wall, intentionally erected to prevent intelligence agents from pooling information with their law-enforcement counterparts. That is not partisan carping. That is a matter of objective fact. That wall was not only a deliberate and unnecessary impediment to information sharing; it bred a culture of intelligence dysfunction. It told national-security agents in the field that there were other values, higher interests, that transcended connecting the dots and getting it right. It set them up to fail. To hear Gorelick lecture witnesses about intelligence lapses is breathtaking.
And Clarke, as counterterrorism coordinator, may have had fascinating ideas about getting at al Qaeda through the Uzbeks and the Northern Alliance, but he didn’t do a damn thing to highlight for the incoming Bush administration this loony construct that discouraged agents with potentially vital evidence from sharing it with their colleagues across the hall. Is it any wonder that the commission now finds itself fiddling over such minutia as whether “battle stations” should have meant regular meetings of the “principals” rather than the “deputies” during summer 2001 when, in reality, Rome had started burning years before.
WHO AND WHAT TO BLAME
To be sure, it would be heavy-handed to lay the entire culture of intelligence dysfunction at the feet of the Clinton administration. If we are to play the blame game, there is plenty to go around. The relevant history in fact goes back to the 1978 enactment of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) (50 U.S.C. §§ 1801-1862). FISA, a reaction to domestic-intelligence abuses during the Vietnam and Watergate eras, permits the federal courts to regulate and monitor the executive branch’s execution of two crucial investigative techniques–electronic surveillance and physical searches–in the context of national-security (or “intelligence”) investigations. This is in contrast to ordinary criminal investigations, where the use of those techniques is governed by other federal law–what is called “Title III” for wiretaps or bugs, and the criminal procedure rules that govern searches.
In ordinary criminal investigations, agents must present probable cause of a crime to get a judicial warrant to eavesdrop electronically or conduct a search. FISA, on the other hand, is not principally about criminal investigations. It is about national defense power. It focuses on foreign enemies, including international terrorists, who pose threats to the United States. To obtain FISA wiretap or search authority, the government need not show probable cause that a crime is being committed. Rather, FISA permits the government to “obtain foreign intelligence information” if “there is probable cause to believe that…the target of the electronic surveillance is a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power[.]“
The difficulty here is that the theoretical divide between what is a “criminal” matter and what is a national-security “intelligence” matter does not track reality. Espionage, for example, is both a dire national-security issue and a serious crime. Similarly, terrorists commit many crimes (immigration fraud, identity theft, money laundering, seditious conspiracy, possession of precursor explosives, and bombing, to name just a few) in the course of undermining national security. Thus, whether an agent’s investigative authority comes from FISA or the criminal law, he is in either event very likely to collect evidence that constitutes both national-security intelligence and proof of everyday crimes.
Far from being a problem, this should be a win-win situation for public safety. But it has been a problem because, in the quarter-century or so prior to 9/11, our nation regarded terrorism as primarily a law-enforcement problem. Here again, it is important to acknowledge that President Clinton did not invent this approach, though it may fairly be argued that he stayed wedded to it too long, to the exclusion of other, more effective counterterror tactics.
When you are in the national-security mindset, the survival of the country is at the forefront. In that stark place, it becomes easy to see and do what must be done to promote public safety–like making sure the right hand of intelligence knows what the left hand of law enforcement is up to. The mindset of law enforcement, however, is worlds apart, and in a very fundamental way–one of those things so patent it is usually missed.
Even the most serious criminals–mafia chieftains, serial murderers, drug gangs–do not pose any real threat to the survival of the United States. To put it in gamblers’ parlance, in the law-enforcement thicket, we are playing with the house money. We know most of the crooks will get convicted in a system that ensures due process, so the country is not at mortal risk if we presume them innocent and accord them presumptions in favor of the privacy of their persons, their effects, and their conversations. In the sphere of law enforcement, we have the luxury of interposing skeptical judges as a safeguard against prosecutorial overreach, of designing a system exceedingly deferential to civil liberties, and of being more exercised that a single innocent person might be railroaded than about the occasional miscreants who inevitably escape justice.
Prior to September 11, however, we imposed this law-enforcement mindset on the national-security framework–that is, we conducted ourselves as if we were playing with the house money when it was our living wage that was actually at stake. For present purposes, the relevant manifestation of this delusion involves hand wringing over whether the government should be allowed to use FISA-derived evidence in criminal prosecutions.
As written, FISA poses no obstacle to such use. This is significant not only because, as we’ve already seen, terrorists commit lots of ordinary crimes, but also because the ability of the government to threaten or carry out prosecution is among its most important tools for convincing terrorists and other foreign agents to cooperate and provide information.
FISA does, however, require that a national-security official in the executive branch–typically the FBI director–certify that “the purpose” of the surveillance is to obtain foreign-intelligence information (as opposed to a purpose to build a criminal prosecution). This is simply an explanation of why we are doing what we are doing. The requirement does not purport to restrict either the scope of the investigation or the permissible uses of any resulting evidence. Nor is it peculiar to FISA law. When, for example, criminal agents get a wiretap based on probable cause that the subjects are selling drugs, but then learn in the course of listening that the subjects are also committing murders, the murder conversations are routinely used in court to prosecute the murders. It doesn’t matter that the agents weren’t investigating murder in the first place; they had a legitimate authorization to be listening, the murder evidence was thus properly collected, and the public interest in bringing murderers to justice plainly outweighs whatever privacy interest drug dealers have in being able to plan other crimes.
It is, of course, a reality that in the law-enforcement realm, because it is hopelessly lawyerized and hyper-vigilant about civil liberties, we actually are forced to worry about such things as the privacy rights of drug dealers. Thus, we do find ourselves litigating ad nauseam such commonsense matters as whether, just because you properly heard something, you should be allowed to use it to protect the public. When you’re playing with the house money, you have the luxury of contemplating your navel and wondering why the sky is blue. Not so when national security is at stake. Unfortunately, however, Justice Department lawyers and federal judges, over two decades, came reflexively to treat FISA as if it were a creature of the law-enforcement realm they know so well, rather than a vital tool for the life-and-death of national security.
The shift began with the afore-described certification requirement. Soon after FISA took effect, the Justice Department began construing it not as a mere announcement of purpose but rather as something much more restrictive: as a substantive limitation on the use of FISA evidence in criminal cases. This, too, was no fault of the Clinton Justice Department; as the FISA Court of Review explained in a historic 2002 opinion (available here) this happened gradually during the 1980s.
As the Review Court opinion elaborated, over time the certification gaffe led to a “false dichotomy” in FISA derived information, sorting it into two supposedly distinct categories: mere intelligence, and information that was evidence of ordinary crime. With the government needlessly acting as if it may have done something wrong by acquiring evidence of crime outside the ordinary criminal means, it should come as no surprise that the federal courts, too, soon got into the act of concocting new “safeguards” not found in the text of FISA. Specifically, they created a “primary purpose” test under which FISA-derived evidence could not be used in criminal prosecutions unless the government demonstrated that the primary purpose of its investigation had been to collect intelligence; i.e., that FISA had not been used as a pretext to build a criminal case.
This judicially legislated hurdle was a serious error that the executive branch failed for years to challenge. As the Review Court held in 2002, FISA “as passed by Congress in 1978 clearly did not preclude or limit the government’s use or proposed use of foreign intelligence information, which included evidence of certain kinds of criminal activity, in a criminal prosecution.” (Emphasis in original).
TERROR HITS HOME, BUT NO ATITTUDE ADJUSTMENTS
Nevertheless, flashing back to when the courts were still warping FISA, two significant developments occurred: first, in January 1993, the Clinton administration came to power; and second, a month later, militant Islam announced its war against the United States by bombing the World Trade Center and rapidly following that atrocity up with two unsuccessful schemes–a Spring 1993 plot to bomb the United Nations, the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, and the FBI’s Manhattan headquarters; and the 1994-95 Manila Air conspiracy to blow U.S. airliners out of the sky over the Pacific.
On this score, one can only shake his head at Dick Clarke’s celebrated conclusion that we had been fairly successful in the fight against terrorism prior to 9/11 since “only” a few dozen Americans had been killed in the preceding eight years. The 1993 WTC bombing occurred at high noon on a weekday–a time when the complex was generally populated by between 60,000 and 120,000 people. That the death toll was less than ten rather than in the thousands or tens of thousands–as it would surely have been had the bomb-laden van been parked just a few yards differently–was nothing short of a miracle. The New York City landmarks’ bombing conspiracy was thwarted only because the FBI convinced an informant (who had been cut out of the investigation months before the WTC bombing) to go back to work. The failure of Manila Air was sheer luck–incompetent bomb mixing caused a minor explosion that was detected by an alert Filipino police officer. (And I haven’t even gotten to the 1998 embassy bombings that killed over 250 people–mostly Kenyans and Tanzanians–or the 2000 Cole bombing that killed 17 sailors.)
In any event, by 1995 it should have been clear even to government lawyers that we no longer had the luxury of pretending that we were playing with the house money–of pretending that we could safely saddle national-security tools like FISA with conventional law-enforcement restrictions. The time, instead, was ripe for a searching analysis of whether FISA was constitutional, whether it still made sense, and, at the very least, whether self-inflicted wounds like limitations on FISA evidence and unsustainable creations like the “primary purpose” test should be ignored, discarded, or challenged.
But the Justice Department, with Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick in the thick of important policy decisions, did not see it that way. Committed to the bitter end to the law-enforcement mindset, and overwrought at the mere possibility of violating the ill-conceived “primary purpose” test, DOJ made matters significantly worse. It imposed severe procedural barriers against competent intelligence gathering. As described by the FISA Court of Review in 2002:
[T]he 1995 Procedures limited contacts between the FBI and [DOJ’s] Criminal Division in cases where FISA surveillance or searches were being conducted by the FBI for foreign intelligence (FI) or foreign counterintelligence (FCI) purposes. . . . The procedures state that “the FBI and Criminal Division should ensure that advice intended to preserve the option of a criminal prosecution does not inadvertently result in either the fact or the appearance of the Criminal Division’s directing or controlling the FI or FCI investigation toward law enforcement objectives.” 1995 Procedures at 2, 6 (emphasis added). Although these procedures provided for significant information sharing and coordination between criminal and FI or FCI investigations, based at least in part on the “directing or controlling” language, they eventually came to be narrowly interpreted within the Department of Justice, and most particularly by [the Justice Department’s Office of Intelligence Policy Review (OIPR)], as requiring OIPR to act as a “wall” to prevent the FBI intelligence officials from communicating with the Criminal Division regarding ongoing FI or FCI investigations. . . . Thus, the focus became the nature of the underlying investigation, rather than the general purpose of the surveillance. Once prosecution of the target was being considered, the procedures, as interpreted by OIPR in light of the case law, prevented the Criminal Division from providing any meaningful advice to the FBI.
(Italics mine except where otherwise indicated.)
It is important here to remember that most FBI agents are not practicing lawyers. Yes, as the Review Court noted, the regulations left some daylight for cooperation between criminal and intelligence agents. In practice, however, things were much worse: Agents basically understood that criminal and intelligence investigators were not allowed to compare notes, period. That is, the problem is not simply the wide range of perfectly appropriate communications that the regulations expressly prohibited, but is magnified by the ethos the regulations instilled: While justifying communications required a series of mental gymnastics, the agents knew that they could not get in trouble if they just avoided communications entirely.
In this light, Clarke’s sibilant hissing about the failure of agencies to connect the dots or pass information upward in the chain of command rings especially hollow (See Against All Enemies, pp. 236-37). Under the regulations that were, as he well knows, in effect throughout his tenure as counterterrorism coordinator, it was generally impermissible for an intelligence agent to communicate with a criminal agent across the room, much less to press a comprehensive picture upward to ultimate decision-makers. Did Clarke ever think of dismantling the wall? Evidently not. Here’s what he writes on the subject: “The Justice Department normally reviewed FBI requests for national-security wiretaps with a skeptical eye. Justice correctly wanted to insure there were no abuses, lest Congress restrict their ability to do any electronic surveillance under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act” (Id. at 212) (italics mine).
I don’t know whether Clarke has any legal training. I don’t know what he supposes an “abuse” would be. I don’t know whether he actually comprehended that there were abundant separation-of-powers reasons to question whether FISA, even as permissibly written, is constitutional, much less whether Congress could or would attempt to impose further restrictions at a time of terrorist peril. But it is manifest that he knew about the wall, knew it was self-imposed, knew it could be raised or lowered based on Justice’s perception of the threat environment at any given time, and therefore knew it was possible to argue for the wall’s eradication. He doesn’t claim to have done that. Instead, it appears he was a supporter of the notion that, in matters of national security, the FBI–which he now says was not aggressive enough–needed to be reined in by DOJ.
Clarke blames incompetence and apathy for the failure of our agencies to appreciate the significance of pre-9/11 information that our country had been infiltrated by two identified al Qaeda terrorists, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaz al-Hazmi, who would eventually guide Flight 77 into the Pentagon. A different take is offered by Stewart Baker, general counsel of the National Security Agency in the early years of the Clinton administration. In a courageous and forthright account published by Slate in December 2003, and aptly entitled “Wall Nuts,” Baker surmises that “on Sept. 11, 2001, that wall probably cost us 3,000 American lives.”
Baker recounts that an FBI intelligence agent who was trying to find the two terrorists during summer 2001, asked for help from the law-enforcement side of the house and was turned down flat by headquarters. The agent’s responsive pre-9/11 e-mail, quoted by Baker, is chilling: “[S]ome day someone will die–and wall or not–the public will not understand why we were not more effective and throwing every resource we had at certain ‘problems.’ Let’s hope the [lawyers who gave the advice] will stand behind their decisions then, especially since the biggest threat to us now, UBL [Usama Bin Laden], is getting the most ‘protection.’”
Baker’s conclusion? “We couldn’t find al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi in August 2001 because we had imposed too many rules designed to protect against privacy abuses that were mainly theoretical. We missed our best chance to save the lives of 3,000 Americans because we spent more effort and imagination guarding against these theoretical privacy abuses than against terrorism.”
It would be the height of unfairness to blame Clinton, Gorelick, Clarke, Baker, or any other single official, agency, or presidential administration for the systemic weaknesses that were in place when the 9/11 attacks occurred. Responsibility for the attacks lies squarely on the shoulders of the menace that is militant Islam. To the extent our intelligence system was compromised, the breadth of that problem was much broader than the FISA wall, predated the Clinton administration, and was not adequately addressed at any time before the hijacking attacks.
But all that said, the FISA wall was a rudimentary blunder, and it is fair to ask whether someone who had a hand in constructing it ought to be playing such a central role in examining why our intelligence failed. The 9/11 Commission should be a constructive, bipartisan effort to find a way forward, not an exercise in the gotcha politics of an election year. The commission’s fact-finding, moreover, should be dispassionate; it should not be freighted with agendas that create incentives–wittingly or not–to maximize or minimize some contributory factors at the expense of others.
In finding the way forward, for example, there is little that the commission could do that would be of greater service to the nation than to urge the essential preservation of Patriot Act information-sharing reforms. The Patriot Act dismantled the FISA wall. It exhorted intelligence and criminal agents to pool information, even going a step better by removing the complementary barriers that prevented criminal agents from sharing grand-jury information with their intelligence counterparts. But, precisely because of the same hyperventilating about theoretical civil-liberties abuses that inspired the wall in the first place, those vital reforms would have been left on Patriot’s cutting-room floor had the act’s sponsors not agreed to sunset provisions. This effectively means the FISA wall will be back on January 1, 2006, if a new law is not enacted to make information sharing permanent–or at least to extend it beyond the end of next year.
This would be a catastrophe. Compared to the FISA wall, issues like the meaning of “battle stations” and Clarke’s proposals for attacking al Qaeda (which even he concedes would not have prevented 9/11) are trifles. The commission needs to recognize this and address it, without fear or favor.

When Kings Park and Central Islip became overcrowded the state decided to open a third farm colony hospital. Pilgrim opened in 1931, named after New York State mental health commissioner. Pilgrim had it's own police and fire department, courts, post office, train station, powerplant, swine farm, church, theater, nurses homes, bakery and was designed to hold 12,500 patients. They continued to expand and constructed Edgewood State Hospital on the land. During world war ll the "war department" took over Edgewood hospital, as well as a few Pilgrim buildings for mentally disturbed veterans. After world war ll Pilgrim was the worlds largest hospital with almost 14,000 patients and 4,000 employees. Treatments at Pilgrim included, insulin shock therapy, electric shock therapy and lobotomies. 1,000-2,000 lobotomies were preformed on patients at Pilgrim. When medication started to come out and more severe mentally ill were being transferred to home settings, Islip and Kings closed down and transferred their patients to Pilgrim. Pilgrim closed not long after, leaving a huge campus abandoned. 50 buildings have been demolished in 2003, but some buildings still remain.
Some buildings are still active, so be careful.

The Citizens Utility Board, in formal testimony filed Friday, urged the Illinois Commerce Commission to order an immediate rate reduction of about $519 million for Commonwealth Edison Co., northeastern Illinois` giant electric utility.
In the document, a financial analyst for the board recommended reducing current electric rates based on recent changes in the federal tax code and lower interest rates that have reduced Edison`s operating expenses, a board spokeswoman said.
The board also recommended that the ICC reduce the utility`s allowed rate of return to stockholders to 11.5 percent. In 1986 Edison stockholders earned a 15.24 percent rate of return, the spokeswoman said.
''Commonwealth Edison is currently reaping a windfall in excess profits at the expense of its ratepayers,'' the board`s executive director Susan Stewart said in a statement released Friday. ''Utilities in at least 23 states across the country have seen their rates go down, and it`s high time ComEd joined that trend.''
The group also has criticized the ICC for denying consumers the opportunity to comment at public hearings on the utility`s proposed $660 million rate hike.
The commission denied a board request for hearings throughout northern Illinois so it could meet Edison`s demands for a speedy decision on the hike. The ICC held only one public hearing in the case on March 19 in Chicago.
In response, the board has organized several meetings to allow consumers to voice their opposition to the proposed rate increase. The meetings will be held April 13 in Cicero; April 14 in Palos Park; April 16 in Morton Grove; and May 2 in Kankakee, the spokewoman said.
Board representatives will be cross-examined by the commission during the week of May 11, the spokeswoman said.

Chelsea assistant captain Ben Chilwell has called for patience and trust in manager Mauricio Pochettino following a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend.
The Blues, led by Chilwell in the absence of regular captain Reece James, faced a chorus of boos from supporters after the game.
Pochettino bemoaned their lack of maturity despite dominating possession following the defeat. Chilwell echoed this sentiment.
Chelsea have only garnered four points from the first four Premier League matches of Pochettino’s tenure. This record has sparked concerns among fans.
Speaking while on international duty with England, Chilwell implored supporters to exercise patience while acknowledging their high expectations of constant success.
He emphasised that Pochettino’s influence at the club had been commendable, and the very young squad had a bright future.
Chilwell said (via Standard Sport): “What the manager has come in and done is brilliant. We have all bought into what he is trying to do at the club.
“With such a young, exciting squad. I think it will be a good future. With a bit more patience, we will come good.”
Chelsea struggled to convert chances and made critical errors, leading to Anthony Elanga’s decisive goal in the Forest clash.
Pochettino’s decision to deploy the Milton Keynes-born full-back on the left wing and Levi Colwill at left-back received criticism.
However, the former Leicester City man accepted the challenge, vowing to contribute more in his advanced role.
Chilwell added: “It is something new, but the manager has put his trust in me to play there, so I try to repay that trust. I expect the pressure on me to contribute to goals.
“That’s something I am going to work on at Chelsea over the next few games to add that goal threat. [I need to] shoot instead of passing the ball.”
As one of the leaders in the Premier League’s youngest squad, the full-back acknowledges his duty to help his younger teammates adapt to Pochettino’s tactics.
Despite acknowledging recent struggles, Chilwell is confident that Chelsea can turn things around quickly. He cited the team’s awareness of their issues and trust in Pochettino’s managerial acumen.
Chelsea fans will hope that patience and resilience will soon yield better results for the club.

On Sunday 29th March 2015, Area 2 held another successful Summer Lunch at Clifton Road, Birkenhead. W.Bro. Ivor Henry, Area 2 Chairman, hosted the lunch and it was attended by 70 brethren their ladies and friends. It was pleasing to see that brethren from several other halls within Area 2 made the effort and were represented.
He was supported by W.Bro. Adrian Davies APGM and W.Bro. Mike Whittingham his predecessor as APGM whom the brethren were delighted to see again at Clifton Road. W. Bro. Colin Ross Provincial Grand Charity Steward was also welcomed.
After an enjoyable lunch W.Bro. Ivor explained that Mrs Amanda Mitchell, Charity Fundraiser for Claire House Children’s Hospice had hoped to attend but was unable to do so because of illness. Funds for Claire House were raised by holding a raffle at the Lunch and at the Area 2 Carol Concert in December 2014. W.Bro. Colin Ross accepted a Cheque for £500.00 from the Area, on behalf of the Hospice, from Mrs Pat Williams and said that he would ensure that it was sent to them immediately together with another Cheque for £1000.00 that he had intended to present from the Cheshire Freemasons’ Charity. It was thought appropriate that Mrs Pat Williams presented the Cheque, on behalf of the Area, as the ladies are always so supportive of their husbands, who organise the 2 Area Social and Charity fundraising functions.
In conclusion W. Bro Adrian commented that he had enjoyed the occasion and looked forward to the Carol Concert which will be held at Clifton Road on Thursday 17th December 2015.

This is Feb 2013. I have already had an injury and yet we just got started. No matter, I am past the injury now and my sights are set on my goals.
Last year, I respected the distance, gradually pushed up the mileage and did recovery runs and I followed the advice that if you are training for a 21K, your long run need not be more than 21K.
Total garbage. I have realized that the internet is full of crap. 99% of marathon-related articles are aimed at people who want to finnish, not to race.
Now I know so I am stepping away from that puerile crap.
Yes, I didn't get injured much: I got an ITBL and then a PF that lasted more than seven months which I was able to run through.
But I didn't lose much weight, I didn't meet my goals and I never got as fast as I could have. This is comfort zone crap for sissies.
So this year, it is a muthafuckin war, no cutie-pie-crap. We strap on our shoes, pick the water bottle and go the muthafuckin distance. As fast as I can. No recovery runs. No nothin.
So I went for a scheduled 32K run on Sato. I was supposed to have it done in 3 hours. I was on target up to 20K. Then I started tiring, which was not surprising because I am just coming back from and injury and haven't ran long distance for a while. In fact, that fatigued state is the target of the long run because it teaches you to fight past that fatigue and it freaking pushes your muscles. The result is mental toughness, stronger muscles and overall strength and speed. So as much as I was getting my soul destroyed and baked in the open sun, I appreciated that there is no act of creation without destruction. So I drained my energy reserves and moved on. By 24K, I was an empty shell and I started walking. Then I combined walking and running up to 27K. At which point, It took all the years of discipline and hard work I have ingrained in myself to stop me from just placing my ass on the nearest flat surface and letting the fatigue ease away. My energy was gone, my legs were shot. Every stone or brick that lay on the roadside looked like a soft leather seat just begging me to sit on it, even just for a few seconds. My legs wanted to sleep. I had to stop a few times and shake my head for the stars to go away and to get a grip on my consciousness lest I pass out. I looked around desperately for a boda boda and surprisingly, there was none. I walked with the 50/= clutched in my hand, ready to pump money into the economy. But like they say, when a monkeys day to die arrives, every tree becomes slippery. I usually use the 50/= to buy the sunday paper but this time, I didnt even want to look at the headlines. Fuck the politicians. I just wanted to reach home before I become part of the local news .
I didn't stretch. For the first time, I had no energy to stretch. I just wanted to reach home.
My muscles ached like hell for several hours and I felt exactly how I felt the first time I ran 21K more than six years ago - like I have ran into something bigger than me. Like I have reached outside my comfort zone. And its a delightful, exciting feeling. Beautiful pain. Painful reward.
This is my rebirth. Blood, sweat and tears.
I feel challenged and now I must devote my faculties toward meeting that challenge. I have lost my fitness. I must get it back, and move past it. This is war motherfocker. I am telling ya.

It’s hard to keep count of the number of rogue-likes and rogue-lites that swamp the Steam marketplace in the modern day, but every now and again a game slips through that manages to do something different.
Quasimorph is one such game, and although it’s a little rough around the edges in its current Early Access state, this combination of rogue-like, RPG, and extraction shooter shows great promise.
Quasimorph’s narrative is built around its grim-dark setting rather than a linear story. The game puts players in the shoes of a PMC (Private Military Company) fighter or, more accurately, the shoes of several PMC fighter clones. Quasimorph sees players exploring space and taking on contracts for the various corporations who run it, all of which involve barrelling through facilities and killing everything in sight. Then there’s the Quasimorphisis, a mysterious disease that’s turning people into horrible creatures from another world. These creatures are appropriately horrific, though I’ve yet to discover much about them.
There are a handful of NPCs in the game that spout serviceable dialogue, though it’s nothing to write home about. However, for those that don’t enjoy reading, none of the dialogue (outside of the rather wordy tutorial) that I’ve read during my time with Quasimorph has come across as required reading. Overall, those looking for an atmospheric game with an intriguing setting will get what they came for, but don’t expect an epic narrative.
In Quasimorph, players battle through space stations, science labs, and warehouses (among other things), blasting their way through to get to their objective in turn-based combat. This objective can be anything from simply defending a location, sabotaging an important item, or killing a specific target. Throughout a mission, players will need to grab as many valuables as they can, which can be bartered with at various space stations. Outside of missions, players play the field with the various corporate overlords of Quasimorph’s grim-dark world, building reputation with them to garner better rewards.
Quasimorph is, at its heart, a traditional turn-based rogue-like. The game features tactical turn-based combat, resource management, and unforgiving gameplay. Unlike many classic rogue-likes, however, Quasimorph focuses on cover-based shooting and survival mechanics such as a detailed wound system. However, despite all its similarities with the traditional rogue-like, Quasimorph doesn’t quite fit the bill – it’s an extraction shooter. Players can progress between runs via an RPG-style level system and the acquisition of increasingly powerful gear. Despite this, Quasimorph doesn’t lose its unforgiving edge, thanks to the permanent death mechanic that sees players losing their levels and any gear they happened to be carrying when they die.
Once dead, players will have to pick a new clone, choose a new class, and equip that clone with fresh gear. Thankfully, Quasimorph features a comeback mechanic in the form of the Emergency Case, which provides some basic supplies. This is a kindness, yes, but players will have a rough time of it completing a mission with these bare-bones supplies. Then again, that’s part of the fun.
Unfortunately, Quasimorph’s harsh and unforgiving nature isn’t always fun to interact with. Losing can be a frustrating experience regardless, but the game’s unpredictable difficulty is perhaps its most infuriating aspect. In Quasimorph, every mission has a difficulty rating that tells you how tough the job is going to be, but these ratings aren’t always accurate. My problem here has less to do with a lack of balance and much more with how difficult the situation is presented to the player.
For example, certain objectives, such as defense missions, are much easier with certain items like proximity mines or the deployable turret. Quasimorph can also get a little repetitive despite its consistently satisfying combat systems. However, this repetitiveness is combated by Quasimorph’s unique selling point, the Quasimorphs themselves.
As players progress through a mission, the level of Quasimorphisis grows. Every turn. To put things plainly: the longer you take, the more danger you’re in. Eventually, enemies will start bursting into horrific creatures like you’re playing Resident Evil 4, and these things are no joke. Luckily, they don’t like the enemies, either.
Often, the best solution is to run away and let them tear into nearby enemies, who will hopefully weaken (or even kill) it. This time pressure and the variety of Quasimorphs help add some variety and tension to the gameplay. This time pressure can be somewhat alleviated by using items such as alcohol and cigarettes, though at the cost of your character’s state.
So, that’s the gameplay loop: pick a mission, choose a character, gear up, and head down. Fight your way through masses of soldiers and monsters alike in tactical turn-based combat, treat your wounds with a detailed damage system, and try to make it out alive. Barter your valuables for better gear, pick a new mission, and try to gain favor with the many factions.
It sounds simple, but its many systems make Quasimorph a consistently intriguing game. Success comes down to how well players can manage their resources, assess threats, and position themselves. Picking the right missions, taking the right equipment, and balancing risk and reward are just a few of the decisions players must make to succeed in this brutal game.
For fans of crunchy pixel art, Quasimorph is a visual treat. The game features low-resolution pixelated characters and environments with an impressive level of detail. It’s clear that time and effort were put into making these locations and characters coherent with the overall setting. Furthermore, all items (armor, weapons, etc.) are visible on characters, which is always a nice addition. As a by-product, this quality-of-life feature also makes it easier to see how well-equipped an enemy is without inspecting them.
Outside of the dungeon-crawling contracts, players will spend a fair amount of time navigating the game’s user interface and various menus. The game’s UI is relatively serviceable, easy to read, and does the job. NPCs are depicted with detailed pixel art portraits, and the player’s spaceship (the iconic MAGNUM) is depicted with a memorable low-poly 3D model.
SOUND & MUSIC
Quasimorph’s soundtrack is both haunting and exhilarating, ranging from lonely melodic guitar riffs to chugging chords and pounding beats. The wiry, noodling guitar seems to echo through the environment as you explore each facility, peeking around corners and trading fire. The menu music, in particular, is a personal favorite, and while the tracks can get somewhat repetitive, they suit the tone and feel of the game perfectly.
The sound design is also one of Quasimorph’s strong suits: punchy gunshots, meaty melee hits, and the sound of “Quasimorphisis” as a horrific creature bursts from a dying enemy. All of these sounds fit the tone of the game and are well balanced. The only complaint I have here is the sharp sound the user interface makes when there’s no room in your inventory for the item you’re trying to grab; it’s a high-pitched metallic sound that quickly grates on the ears.
PERFORMANCE & SETTINGS
Quasimorph is a fairly undemanding game, thanks to its pixel-art aesthetic and turn-based nature. Regardless, the game ran flawlessly for me. Furthermore, the settings menu – while bare-bones – features all the necessities for a game such as this.
Quasimorph is a tremendously satisfying turn-based extraction shooter with solid RPG mechanics and a tangible atmosphere. This game is brutal and unforgiving. It rewards patience, punishes those who rush, and has a steep learning curve.
Quasimorph is not a perfect game, though it is in Early Access, but it is certainly a fun game. Fighting tooth-and-nail to complete your objective and escaping with your life by the skin of your teeth is almost always how missions in Quasimorph end. That, or death. If that sounds fun, and you can handle a little unfairness, Quasimorph is a must-play.
Overall, Quasimorph is easy to recommend to experienced players, or those that can handle a little frustration. However, players who want a smooth, fair experience should probably look elsewhere.

From its formation 100 years ago, the Communist Party in Britain has based itself on the principles of Marx, Engels and Lenin. In particular, Lenin’s teachings on the state, revolution, imperialism, the national question, the party and working class power have enriched Marxism and informed, educated and inspired many millions of Communists across the globe. Today, the principles of Marxism-Leninism remain the basis of our revolutionary programme Britain’s Road to Socialism. The best way to honour the memory of Lenin is to join and help strengthen the Communist Party of Britain as a proud and integral contingent of the international Communist movement.
Long live Lenin! Long live socialism! Long live Communism!


A woman’s right | Richmond Free Press
Since the beginning of our species, it has been the responsibility of the female to take care of the unborn child, the newborn and the young. After millions of years, women have brought us here.
Now is not the time for men – or a U.S. Supreme Court or state legislatures made up largely of white men – to wrest control from women and lead the spread of the species. .
As Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday night, “How dare they!”
They can’t tell women what to do with their bodies.
If you haven’t joined the fight yet, now is the time. Abortions will continue regardless of the final decision by the United States Supreme Court. We must protect women’s health and their right to privacy, regardless of the circumstances.
We already know the patchwork of laws that have sprung up in various states prohibiting abortion and that have disparately affected low-income women, including those in black and brown communities, who cannot afford wealthy women to travel elsewhere to end an unwanted or dangerous pregnancy.
We urge Congress to codify abortion rights into federal law by passing the Women’s Health Protection Act. The Democratic-controlled House already passed it, but it stalled in the US Senate.
In Virginia, Republicans will continue their legislative assault on women’s rights and attempt to ban abortions. So we must work to elect people to Congress and the Virginia General Assembly who believe in women’s rights and their ability to make responsible choices.
We have come too far for time to be pushed back.

I have a DL380 G5 (p411 SmartArray Controller) with a single loaded MSA60 (12x2TB SATA)and am purchasing a 2nd to cascaded as illustrated above. If I do this with identical disks (another 12x2TB SATA) can I apply RAID1+0 across the disks between the 2 enclosures for better I/O & resiliency?
If I/O performance is the key, you may not see tremendous gains. The MSA60 is capable of dual-domain configuration (MPIO), but it's also a 3G SAS unit (versus a 6G SAS). Also, you're using SATA drives, which will probably negotiate at 1.5Gbps. Resiliency may not be a big concern, as the MSA enclosures are well-built. If you RAID 1+0, you'll want to pair drives across enclosures, or perhaps skip the cascading and run the enclosures off of separate ports on the P411 controller.

Hip hop theatre for radical hearts.
Written wholly in rhyme with infectious beats, neon projections and powerful performances, enter a stunning dystopic world that’s gone wild with celebrity.
One the Bear is a game changing production for young people and audiences with curious minds. Pushing the boundaries of form, style and storytelling, this brave new work of hip hop theatre is guaranteed to burst your senses and expand your mind.
This is the story of a young bear who wants more for her tribe. Set in a rubbish tip, where garbage sparkles and catches on beams from broken streetlights, One (Candy Bowers) and her best friend, Ursula (Ashleyrose Gilham), get up to mischief, spit rhymes and mourn the dank life they lead. The two orphan cubs rail against living under Hunter law and dream of the days when bears were free; eating fresh fish rather than packaged fish-fingers.
But what happens when One is given the opportunity to speak for her community? What happens when fame knocks at the door?
Exploring themes of identity, body image, fame, friendship, oppression, colonialism and celebrity; this work was created by real-life sisters Candy Bowers and Kim Busty Beatz Bowers who together have been creating award-winning innovative theatre for over 15 years.

You have always been with me and stood by my side,
You bring magic into my life and make me alive.
Life is not the same when you are not around,
I can't do anything that I want, my feet are bound.
But the moment you make your grand entrance,
I feel like giving my life yet another chance.
Life feels different with you, completely in trance.
The moment you step in, I feel like pulling you to the floor to dance.

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – It’s the first weekend since children between ages 5 and 11 have been given the go ahead from federal health officials to get the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
More than 28 million children are now able to receive their COVID-19 vaccines nationwide. Pfizer’s vaccine for 5 to 11-year-olds comes in a smaller dose compared to those ages 12 and up and are given in two doses, three weeks apart.
Currently, there are 500 vaccine sites statewide now offering the 2 dose Pfizer vaccine for kids. The scheduling process for a child isn’t any different than scheduling a shot for an adult. There’s plenty of local appointments available on the state’s Vaxfinder website for this weekend CVS, Walgreens, Big Y and Stop and Shop locally are also providing the vaccine.
In Hampshire County this Sunday, the Northampton Health Department hosted a pediatric COVID-19 vaccine clinic for children ages 5 to 11.
“It’s going to be a game-changer for COVID-19 having this demographic group vaccinated,” Northampton Public Health Director Merridith O’Leary said. “Schools will look different come the new year and we won’t be opening and closing.”
22News spoke with Eli Hull and his mom Hannah Karpman, who were at the clinic to get Eli’s first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I think the science is clear that it’s a safe choice for kids and the risk of getting covid far outweighs the risk of getting the vaccine,” Karpman said. “What does the COVID vaccine mean for you?”
“Go places!” Eli said.
And while millions sign their kids up for the vaccine, health officials are reminding parents to distract kids so they won’t be afraid of the needles, by offering a reward for getting the shot.
“We talked about a strategy to touch our hands when we get the shot so we can focus somewhere else and we are talking about all the fun things we are going to do after,” Karpman said.
The clinic was held at the Elks Lodge on 17 Spring Street in Florence and run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Appointments will also be available after school hours for the next six weeks at both the Elks Lodge and several Northampton Public schools

Many thanks to Angus and Bunny for organizing a wonderful repeat of last year’s 3 day Kootenay Group Ride (but in reverse).
It was simply epic !
Lots of smiles, lots of hills, lots of kilometers and lots of BEARS (ask Rory and Nick for details).
Congratulations to everyone who participated. More than 300 km of riding and 3500 m of climbing over 3 days is a major accomplishment!
Kudos to all the Kootenay businesses (hotels, restaurants, pubs, coffee shops) that took such good care of us during a major labour shortage. This tour wouldn’t have been as much fun without their full contribution and support!
Do it again next year? Stay tuned 🙂
Please check out the picture gallery here. More pictures will be added as they come in.
Since it’s so nice riding around the Armstrong area we’ve decided to head up there again on Sunday, August 14th. This time we will do the regular Okanagan Shuswap Century route (100 km). 70 km & 50 km routes are also available. This group ride will start at 9 AM from the Memorial Park in Armstrong.
Those wishing to carpool can meet at the Eco Centre parking lot in Mission Creek Regional Park between 7:30 and 7:45 AM.
Hope to see you there.
Despite some initial concern about rain, we were blessed with good weather on our Memorial Ride for Bob Perra. 19 riders in total participated, indicating how well Bob was liked by our cycling community. The ride, a 70 km out and back route from Lumby to Mabel Lake, was one of Bob’s favourites and was thoroughly enjoyed by all riders.
After the ride we had lunch at Alexander’s Pub in Coldstream and reminisced about fun times spent hiking and biking with Bob.
We will miss Bob’s company and think about him often on future cycling and hiking adventures. Rest in peace.
Click for the Relive of the ride
According to his good friend and frequent riding partner, Michael Malkowski, the Mable Lake Ride was one of Bob’s favourites. Therefore it is fitting that the Killer Beez do this ride to remember Bob and all the good times we spent in his company.
The ride will start in Lumby at 10 AM on Saturday, June 11th and will be led by Michael. The starting point is the Lumby SuperSave located at 2056 Vernon Street. There is ample parking available in the SuperSave lot.
The Mable Lake ride is a very scenic, rolling, out and back route of approximately 70 km with no major hills.
Those wishing to carpool can meet in the parking lot near the Eco Centre in Mission Creek Park (Springfield and Benvolin) at 8:45 AM.
In case of wet weather this ride may be postponed and participants will be advised through WhatsApp and this website.
It is the most upsetting of all posts when we have to announce the loss of one of our beloved Beez. Having just chatted with Bob over coffee, smiling and happy after a 90km ride, his very sudden passing just days later shocked us all. There are lots of shared kilometres on our bikes around the Okanagan to remember, and Bob will be missed. We offer condolences and supportive thoughts to Betty and the rest of the family.

Last snowshoe outing! We will meet Saturday, April 2, at 9am in the Summit parking lot at Nordic (right turn off Highway 33 at the high point, 2km after the Big White turnoff).
The plan is to go to Thunder Mountain and enjoy the views. Estimated duration: 2.5hrs.
A thermos with coffee for afterwards is always a nice treat!
Here is your Beez update for this coming weekend – we really hope to see some of you after the long winter break!
Saturday – March 26
This might be the last weekend for skiing, and we plan to celebrate the end of the ski season with a snow outing for everyone … Meet at 9am at the Summit parking lot on Saturday morning. Some might ski, depending on weather and grooming, some will snowshoe. We might go to the lookout tent or do a tailgate party. Please bring a thermos, some snacks and maybe a blanket/pillow/chair.
Sunday – March 27
We are planning to hike around Dilworth, even if there is a chance of rain (bring a jacket). Meet at 10am at the Bean Scene on Dickson for the first coffee.
Meet at 10:30am at Dilworth Dr/Glacier Ct to hike.
Due to the weather forecast, we are moving the Armstrong/Enderby ride to
SATURDAY, September 25!
Everything else stays the same.
This ride is a GO 🙂 Weather forecast looks great for tomorrow so see you at 9am at the Memorial Park!
We are planning on riding the backroads from Armstrong to Enderby (and back via Grindrod) on Saturday, Sept 25. Start time at the Memorial Park in Armstrong at 9am sharp. Washrooms should be open.
The route takes the backroads towards Enderby and then to Grindrod on mostly flat roads. Snack break is at Farmer John’s in Grindrod. After that, the regular route takes Springbend Road to Deep Creek and back to Armstrong. If you want more climbing, you can take Grandview Bench from Farmer John’s to Deep Creek.
It’s about 40km to Farmer John’s, total around 80km if taking Springbend. The route can be made shorter or flatter if needed.
Final assessment on the weather will be posted Friday afternoon. Please check the blog.
