text: 4th visit today: I updated you during our phone call. I let her play a little bit... I just didn't have the heart to put her right back in her crate. She is so funny. She was rolling all around on the pillow beside her crate and making funny noises. She played with the tennis ball too. It rolled away one time and she stared at it and then pounced on it like a cat. It was hilarious! I did take her outside right before I left and she walked around the backyard. She wanted to pick up the small pinecones (I pulled 2 of them out of her mouth) then she found a tennis ball, picked it up and marched up the stairs ready to come back into the house. She stretched out on the floor when we got back inside... she looked ready for night night.

Bitch better have my money?
Spoiler alert: She doesn’t.
Eighteen months after Cardi B won a $4 million defamation verdict over salacious claims made by a YouTube host named Tasha K, the gossip blogger has filed for bankruptcy – and she says she has less than $60,000 in total assets to pay out.
In a petition filed Thursday in Florida federal court, Tasha K (real name Latasha Kebe) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, claiming she is unable to pay more than $3.4 million in liabilities that she owes to a number of creditors.
At the top of that list? Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar (Cardi’s legal name), to whom Tasha says she owes $3,380,642 for a “judgment.” That’s because Cardi won a verdict in January 2022 that Tasha had legally defamed the superstar by making false claims about drug use, STDs and prostitution in her YouTube videos.
Shortly after Cardi B won that verdict, she tweeted “imma come for everything” along with the acronym BBHMM – “bitch better have my money.” But Thursday’s petition makes clear that the star is unlikely to see much of that money any time soon.
Tasha lists just $58,595 in total assets to her name, and the vast majority of that comes from a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado that’s tied as collateral to an unpaid auto loan. She listed only $11,750 in other property, including two Louis Vuitton purses, and just $95 in actual cash in her bank account. She counts the trademark to her “UnWineWithTashaK” YouTube channel as an asset, but says the value of the brand is “unknown.”
Attorneys for Cardi B, who have been legally pursuing the money for months, did not immediately return a request for comment.
Cardi sued Tasha in 2019, over what the rapper’s lawyers called a “malicious campaign” on social media and YouTube aimed at hurting Cardi’s reputation. The star’s attorneys said they had repeatedly tried – and failed – to get her to pull her videos down.
One Tasha video cited in the lawsuit includes a statement that Cardi had done sex acts “with beer bottles on f—ing stripper stages.” Others videos said the superstar had contracted herpes; that she had been a prostitute; that she had cheated on her husband; and that she had done hard drugs.
Following a trial in January, jurors sided decisively with Cardi B, holding Tasha liable for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. They ordered her and her company to pay than $2.5 million in damages and another $1.3 million in legal fees incurred by Cardi. Tasha appealed the verdict last summer, but a federal appeals court easily rejected that request in March.
Tasha has vowed to keep fighting the case “all the way to the Supreme Court if need be,” even if it “takes years” to do so. But Thursday’s bankruptcy will impose an automatic pause on all litigation while the insolvency proceedings are carried out. And given her lack of resources, it seems unlikely that she will be able to afford the expense of continuing to seek to overturn the verdict.
Tasha’s company, Kebe Studios LLC, is solely on the hook for $500,000 of the judgment. It does not appear that the company itself has yet filed for bankruptcy, or if such proceedings will be handled as part of Tasha’s case.
Beyond her assets and liabilities, Thursdays’ bankruptcy filing includes other interesting information about Cardi’s nemesis. The blogger says that $10,000 in her “Google account” – a reference to YouTube’s parent company – was already garnished last year by the superstar’s attorneys. She also says that she and her husband earned a combined income from their work (both are listed as “content creators”) of $156,021 in 2021 and $134,861 in 2022, and that they make more than $30,000 per month currently.
An attorney for Tasha did not immediately return a request for comment.

Crunchyroll Parent Company Ellation Lays Off 17 Employees
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Crunchyroll's parent company Ellation laid off 17 employees from Crunchyroll on Wednesday. Crunchyroll provided ANN with a statement on Thursday from Ellation's CEO Tom Pickett:
We recently closed an acquisition to significantly expand the size of our engineering team. As part of company restructuring efforts, it is with regret that we needed to make some difficult but necessary changes at Ellation. This morning, we parted ways with 17 employees that played important roles in helping us grow the company over the last several years.
This was not an easy decision, but one that puts Ellation on the path towards continued growth. While this announcement is unfortunate, it is not a reflection of Ellation's overall business. It was a record-year for Crunchyroll in 2016 and VRV is off to a great start. We have some exciting plans for 2017 that we'll be sharing soon.
Ellation operates under Otter Media, a joint venture between AT&T and The Chernin Group formed in 2014. Otter Media is one of Crunchyroll's investors.The Chernin Group, a company run by former News Corporation executive Peter Chernin, acquired a majority stake in Crunchyroll in December 2013. Otter Media invested another US$22 million in Crunchyroll's parent company Ellation in November 2015.
Ellation launched VRV, a subscription-based content bundle of streaming services, last year. The bundle includes Crunchyroll, as well as other content providers. In September, VRV announced that it added content from Funimation Entertainment.
Crunchyroll and Funimation launched a partnership last September that includes cross-streaming opportunities, Broadcast Dub production, and home video distribution. Since the partnership, Crunchyroll has streamed some anime titles with English subtitles that would then get an English broadcast dub from Funimation some weeks later. Funimation has also began launching dubbed versions of some of Crunchyroll's simulcast catalog titles.
Crunchyroll hired former Discovery Digital Networks senior vice president and general manager Colin Decker as chief operating officer (COO) in July.
Variety previously reported that Crunchyroll has at least 800,000 paying subscribers.


text: The paper by Blunden and Galland  provides a solid overview of the many complex issues arising in attempts to establish a definition of sleep need. One of the most consistent venues where the issue is raised is in the context of recommendations for “best sleep practices”. Recommendations are often sought by insistent forces in the modern health media: what is best way for an infant or child or teen or adult or parent or retiree to sleep? Sleep scientists are often caught in an awkward position to accede to such requests, knowing that best approximations now available (and the caveats we seek to use as insulation) may be distorted and misrepresented. The core question the authors identify is how to define what it means to have optimal sleep. Shall we measure optimal sleep patterns based on one's experience of sleep per se? Shall we identify optimal sleep by cognitive performance outcomes? Or do we characterize optimal sleep by lapses in performance? Is mood a better outcome? Or metabolic processes? Or temperament outcomes? What is or are the best outcome measures for optimal sleep?

Not only does Angelina Jolie have a dragon tattoo, she could also have the most tattoos -- at least in Hollywood. After receiving yet another tattoo, the A-List actress is believed to have a total of 18 tats from head to tail.The mother of six was snapped with her latest tattoo in Arabic script running down her forearm during a recent trip to Australia where she is directing a new movie. Though the meaning behind the ink has yet to be revealed, it lies perpendicular to another tattoo that means "determination" in Arabic.
Among the "Salt" actress's most famous tats are a Bengal tiger inked on her lower back and, on her left biceps, several rows of geographical coordinates representing the birthplaces of her six children. She added a seventh line in 2011, which some people thought was a sign she and Pitt were adopting again, but the latitude and longitude were those of her sweetheart's birthplace, Shawnee, Oklahoma.
The global humanitarian is down to only one dragon tattoo located on her lower back. She once had a blue-tongued dragon inked on her hip but had it covered up with a big cross and the Latin words, "Quod Me Nutrit Me Destruit," which means "what nourishes me, destroys me." Another tattoo featured a dragon and the name Billy Bob for her ex-husband, but she covered it up with the family birthplace tattoo -- for obvious reasons.
As for her most recent tattoo, media and fan reaction has been mixed.
Perez Hilton was annoyed, but not because he had anything against her latest scribble. "Just when we had all of Angelina Jolie's tats identified and decoded, she goes and gets another one!" groused the celebrity blogger.
Over on Us Weekly, some commenters were less kind.
"She's a lovely woman but she's starting to look like a walking newspaper," wrote one reader.
"Why does she write words all over herself?" asked another. "Can't she just remember the word 'determination' or write it on a wall in her house or on her purse?"
Still, when HuffPo writer Andy Pemberton previously suggested Jolie has too many tattoos, he became a target of ridicule himself. "Is Jolie attempting to copy the look of Michelle Bombshell McGee?" he asked. "Surely there is a limit to the amount of ink a body can take and still look good? Do happy people get dozens of tattoos?"
Returning the slam, a HuffPo reader asked, "Do happy people write stupid, self-righteous articles like this?"
Jolie may just have the last word when it comes to her multiple tattoos. She once told a reporter, "I don't think it's abnormal that someone who spends their life in other skins wants to claim their own by marking things on it that matter to them."

A new report projects the U.S. will experience a shortage of between 37,800 and 124,000 physicians by 2034. What’s driving the shortage, other than COVID-19?
Healthcare is rife with people who care for others, but often neglect themselves. Try these five ways to better prioritize your mental health.
According to the results of our recent survey on mental health, simply put, our nation’s healthcare workers are not okay. See the responses here.
One year after being declared a pandemic, COVID-19 is still here. As someone who works in healthcare, how is your mental health now? Tell us here.
This Valentine’s Day, give yourself the gift of self-love by practicing these five self-care tips to support your physical, emotional, and mental health.
The COVID-19 pandemic is clearly taking a toll on the mental health of our nation’s healthcare workers, according to the findings of our recent survey.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, as well as the fifth straight month those on the frontlines have been treating COVID-19. How are you doing? Tell us here.
Nearly half of physicians are now using positive coping mechanisms to deal with burnout, as opposed to turning to more unhealthy, self-destructive options.
Nurses can be pushed to the breaking point, driven to the precipice of burnout, compassion fatigue, and utter defeat. But there is another way.
Due, in part, to their compassionate nature and dedication to their patients, MDs, NPs, and other overworked healthcare professionals have found themselves in an impossible position, with few options for relief.

Lendhub has completed two bridging loans for one borrower, totalling approximately £1.4m
The £690,000 residential bridging loan and £700,000 development exit facility will enable the borrower to purchase a three-bedroom house in need of renovation, with plans to extend it, while exiting the development of a second property and capital raising.
Both homes are located in New Malden, south-west London.
It is expected that the client — an experienced developer — will take up to six months to complete the renovation and extension, with plans to exit with a BTL lender.
Ashley Kendall, BDM at Lendhub, said: “This is another perfect example of how Lendhub can make a complex transaction across two properties look straightforward for its broker partners and clients.”

I’ve been a long-time fan of Safariland products, particularly the SLS and then ALS retention holsters. These are great for 3-gun, run-n-gun or other field shooting competitions where there is a lot of movement before the pistol gets drawn. Having some retention ensure that you don’t go home early because the gun came out of the holster. These retention devices also work well for duty or open-carry applications.
The STI Staccato P is a 2011 pattern pistol with a light rail on the frame. There are a variety of 2011 flavors these days, but the Staccato slide and forward frame dimensions match that of a 1911 with light rail. A holster designed for a 5″ railed 1911 should work with the Staccato, even if it will be a little long. To start, I wanted a holster for use without a light.
I picked up one of the ALS holsters for a Springfield Operator, model 6378-56. Once it arrived, I had to give it a test fit. Because the 2011 uses a double-stack magazine, the grip frame is wider than a normal 1911. During test-fit, the magazine release was making contact with the holster body about 1/2″ before full insertion.
With some quick work via a hacksaw, files and sandpaper I had something custom fit. I only did the inside portion of the holster where the magazine release was making contact
My next holster modification was to raise the ALS knob, as the 1911 style holsters have an additional piece of plastic shielding the thumb safety from accidentally being disengaged in the holster. OTDefense makes a great add-on called the Nub-Mod. They have a 1911 specific model (link here) that is clearanced appropriately.
I installed the 1911 Nub-Mod, but after testing it I wanted to re-profile that extra plastic for easier reach to the retention release knob. This made the lever much easier to reach and disengage.
Finally, what good is a black holster on a brown/camo belt… Since I only had two shades of brown in the paint stash the holster got some brown quasi-tiger striping.
As for attachment, I’ve gone to the Safariland QLS system as it allows me to run a few dedicated use belts and easily swap the holster out depending on the pistol being used.

- [Skirmish] Proper naming of planets when generating random galaxy. Due to the random nature, some names may appear only once, some might appear a lot of times (e.g., Garthog 45).
2014. április 11., péntek
2014. április 1., kedd
- Enemy ships without weapons should flee if the rest of the fleet is destroyed. (Issue #846)
- Implemented random galaxy generator. You can override the number of planets in the galaxy and generate a seed. The number of planets may be overruled if you set less than the number of players times the initial planet count. You can select the initial planets for the players as usual, but please setup the random galaxy values beforehand. The main campaign's map can support up to 340 planets, but modded campaigns may have a larger map. Generating proper planet names has not been implemented yet (not easy to number adjacent planets properly), but you can rename any planets to your liking in game.
2014. március 25., kedd
- Fixed weather audio playing even if the weather effects are turned off
- Added more units to the Garthog Empire (available in skirmish)
- Fighter Mk1 - Mk4 to be in par with the human fighters 3-6; note that Mk1 is level 3 tech and the AI might research it in the main campaign.
- Destroyer Mk1 - Mk4 to match the Destroyers and Cruisers
- Battleship Mk1 - Mk3 available from level 4.
- Both Fighter Mk1 and Battleship Mk1 require minimal research labs to allow replacing the very low-performing default garthog fighter and battleship
- The following table shows a comparison between the various units. Numbers aren't final but require extensive testing to see if they are adequate
|Fighter 3||20||400||Mk 1||20||420|
|Fighter 4||20||500||Mk 2||20||520|
|Fighter 5||30||600||Mk 3||30||620|
|Fighter 6||30||700||Mk 4||30||720|
|Cruiser 1||230||2400||Mk 1||180||3125|
|Destroyer 3||410||6075||Mk 2||390||6075|
|Cruiser 2||435||6400||Mk 3||470||7975|
|Cruiser 3||1120||11200||Mk 4||1080||12800|
|Battleship 2||600||14400||Mk 2||680||13600|
|Battleship 3||1200||19200||Mk 3||1200||20800|
- Since there is no multiplayer, you may test it via skirmish by pitting Garthog against other races in normal relation, build up both sides with the help of cheats (switch player by selecting a planet and pressing CTRL+P) and attack.
2014. március 19., szerda
- [Skirmish] Ability to set a base tax and tax scaling in skirmish games. Base tax is the amount each player receives on a daily basis. Tax scaling increases the planetary tax value by some percent. The total tax income is then calculated as follows: Tax = Base Tax + Tax Scale * sum(planet tax). Tip: you can hold SHIFT while clicking on the arrows to increase/decrease the value faster.
- Removed Load/Save buttons from the skirmish screen until they get implemented.
- [Skirmish] Added the ability to choose one starting planet; the other starting planets are chosen from nearby planets. Click on the planet icon to bring up the starmap panel. Left click to select a planet, right click to clear selection. If the same planet is selected by multiple players, the first one gets the planet, the others will get a random planet.
- [AI] AI space-discovery pattern has been changed to be more like a circular pattern around its empire.
- [AI] Fixed AI colonizing planets all the time.
- [Modding] Added tax-base and tax-scale to players.xml, which lets define the tax parameters mentioned above for a campaign game. Future updates may set this value in the main campaign to help with the economy balance.
- [UI] Fixed info panel showing the selected research name when switching from inventions tab to financial info tab instead of the current planet's name.
2014. március 18., kedd
- Fixed cheat key overlapping. CTRL+SHIFT+G now gives 100,000 credits, CTRL+SHIFT+J creates diplomatic money requests from all alien races.
- Minor adjustment to AI target planet selection: only defensive value is considered instead of total planet value.
- Modified satellite survival time to be proportional to its cost and reverse proportional to difficulty. This means, for example, that playing on hard grants 4x the TTL to AI satellites as to player satellites.
- Limit the rate that AI will deploy its spy satellites, reducing the money drain.
- Refinement of the AI spending behavior; now it favors cheaper buildings, produces less at once.
- Fixed AI not properly accounting building action costs when making decisions (i.e., subsequent planners thought the money is still there).
- In skirmish, choosing some initial colony ships will add basic satellites to inventory as well (helps the AI mostly).
- Enabled Trade Center for alien races affecting skirmish; since they are not allowed to build banks and spaceport, their economy is quite slow to build up in some cases.
2014. március 11., kedd
- Fixed cases when the player could receive diplomatic messages and enter the diplomacy room from lower levels, blocking regular messages and causing crashes (Issue #842)
- Reworked the automatic battle to consider rockets/bombs as one-time defense reduction option. This should help in AI vs. AI background battles. (Issue #843)
- Reworked AI attack behavior: (Issue #843, Issue #796)
- target planet selection process to choose the low valued planets instead of high valued planets 60% of the time. (The previous logic chose the most valuable enemy planet which was futile most of the time since it was likely the target had good defenses).
- AI will react to a lost planet much faster
- AI will possibly attack with multiple fleets at once and potentially multiple targets on normal or above difficulty
- AI will place tanks on newly conquered/colonized planets immediately by removing 1-1 tank from its other planets; on all difficulties.
- Further French translation fixes from Benjamin Grosjean. Thanks! (Issue #645)
- Fixed campaign start video not playing on non English/Hungarian language settings.

Harry Woodrow likes to take selfies. But he does it while wearing a specially constructed reflective box on his head. The artist therefore becomes a mirror, leaving us with an image in which the mirrored box can often be seen clearly, along with the iPhone taking the picture and the scene of whatever is in front of him. This book contains 76 examples of these recursive images, part of an ongoing project that Woodrow started in 2015 by posting them on a dedicated Instagram account. In addition, ‘#selfies’ includes a conversation between Woodrow and curator Nora Arrhenius Hagdahl on the role of the selfie in today’s society, plus an essay by artist and writer David Price.


DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 14, 2016

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report April 4, 2014
As the Six Power group and Iran prepared for their third round of nuclear talks in Vienna next week (Tuesday-Wednesday, April 8-9), Tehran frankly admitted to exploiting the holes in the six-month interim deal they forged in Geneva last November by using advanced centrifuges and carrying on with the Arak project. This will be Moscow’s first opportunity to make good on its threat to confront the West and line up with Iran, in retaliation for Western penalties for its annexation of Crimea. Moscow and Tehran are close to a mammoth oil-for-food barter deal.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 18, 2014
The six powers and Iran sat down in Geneva Tuesday, Feb. 18 for talks on a final, comprehensive resolution of the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program. But first, the Obama administration gave the Israeli government three pledges. debkafile: The US would insist on the shutdown of the Fordo enrichment plant; the Arak reactor’s conversion to a light water plant; and a cap on 5-percent enrichment. They all face Tehran's certain rejection. Binyamin Netanyahu can only try for a ceiling on centrifuges when he meets Barack Obama on March 3.

DEBKAfile Special Report December 7, 2013
President Barack Obama addressed the Iranian nuclear and Palestinian issues in terms sympathetic to the Israeli case at the Saban annual forum in Washington Saturday, Dec. 7. On the final accord with Iran, he spoke of constraints to ensure Iran was prevented from attaining a nuclear weapon. The Palestinians must accept that the current talks with Israel will produce, at best, a framework accord without full details.

The Iranian team faced the six world powers in Geneva Thursday, Nov. 21, with strict orders not to give ground on the two major sticking points for a first-step deal on their nuclear program: The heavy water reactor under construction at Arak for plutonium production and Iran’s “right” to uranium enrichment. debkafile: If Tehran wins those two points, any other concessions it may offer are worthless, because Iran will be left in possession of two optional nuclear weaponizing tracks instead of one - plutonium as well as enriched uranium.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report November 3, 2013
A mysterious blast which last week struck the heavy water reactor under construction at Arak in western Iran is revealed here for the first time by debkafile’s exclusive sources. They estimate it occurred in the coolant containers and pressure gauges attached to the reactor’s core during preparations for a test. The full extent of the damage is not yet known, but it is believed heavy enough to indefinitely delay the reactor’s operation. Iranian nuclear experts are looking at four possible causes, including sabotage and a virus in the computers operating its systems.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report September 27, 2012
Obama has concluded that nuclear diplomacy with Iran has run its course and has set a time the task of formulating end of the road benchmarks for the Islamic republic. At the same time, Tehran is playing with the temporary suspension of enrichment at Fordo by sabotage to bid for more diplomacy to ward of an Israeli attack.
DEBKAfile Special Report April 10, 2010
In addition to developing a "third generation" centrifuge for speeding up uranium enrichment, Iran is close to activating its Bushehr nuclear reactor and completing its Arak heavy water plant - both providing easy access to weapons-grade plutonium for smaller, lighter and more easily deliverable nuclear warheads. Plentiful new uranium deposits have also been discovered in central

The board of the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control unanimously approved the proposed Western Capacity Use Area for Aiken and six other South Carolina counties.
Capacity Use is a DHEC program that requires entities that withdraw more than 3 million gallons of groundwater from aquifers to acquire permits and report their groundwater use to DHEC.
The decision came following an executive session and a public hearing, during which the board listened to testimony, research, and opinions from anyone who wished to speak on the proposed capacity use after DHEC employees presented their own research on the aquifers.
DHEC's studies, which go back years, show significant groundwater decline in aquifers across the state, including aquifers that supply Aiken with its groundwater.
Although groundwater levels fluctuate over time, there has been a steady decline in overall supply over the years the research has been collected.
A major concern is how so called 'mega-farms' and industrial businesses, some of which draw billions of gallons of groundwater for their purposes, would affect that resource.
Due to these studies, which found that demand would only increase over time as population in areas like Aiken continue to increase, DHEC employees suggested capacity use be implemented in the potentially affected areas.
Aiken County Council requested portions of Aiken be considered for capacity use back in 2016. Following an assessment of groundwater conditions in 2017, DHEC suggested Aiken should be brought into the capacity use program.
People traveled from across the state to be at the meeting, which was held at 10 a.m. in Columbia. Many of the speakers came from Aiken County.
Among those in favor of capacity use were Aiken Mayor Rick Osbon, County Council Chairman Gary Bunker, representatives from various organizations across the state (most of them environmental), small farmers, and concerned citizens.
One citizen from Windsor claimed she turned her sink on one day to find she had no water, as the levels in her well had plummeted after a large farm moved close to where she lived.
Others raised concerns over how increased demand would affect the supply for future generations.
"At this point, the impact is felt mostly on private well owners and recreational users of the Edisto River," Bunker said during the hearing. "But it doesn't take much imagination to see how – if current trends continue – this issue will grow to the point where further growth and economic expansion are impacted by the limits of our region's fresh water supply."
Rep. Bill Taylor, R-Aiken, said the full blame couldn't be placed on mega-farms, but said he was pleased with the outcome of the vote.
"We're all called on to be stewards to that precious resource," Taylor said. "...We can't be kicking the can down the road on this water issue."
Of the 25 speakers who voiced their opinions, experiences, and information they had collected, the South Carolina Farm Bureau, represented by President Harry Ott, was the main entity opposed to imposing capacity use during Thursday's meeting.
"We do not believe the science exists and is completed as we stand here today," Ott said. "...I want to remind this panel that agriculture is the number one industry in the state of South Carolina."
Ott said the Farm Bureau is not against capacity use, but believes DHEC's yearly studies are not adequate enough to warrant capacity use currently.
Despite Ott's stance, some other farmers present at the meeting, including one who claimed to be with the Farm Bureau, argued in favor for capacity use, saying that a shortage of water would be detrimental to residents and big farmers alike.
"We have a groundwater resource problem in our state," said Laura Bagwell, a Farm Bureau member and geologist from Aiken. "It's widespread, it's not new, we've had it for years. And it's getting worse."
Bagwell fired back at Farm Bureau arguments that the science wasn't "completed" by saying that science is a "cumulative process" that is never complete, but rather is a series of studies, where each builds upon the next.
DHEC scientists proposed the entire coastal plain be included in capacity use programs as early as 2004, when evidence of groundwater decline began to crop up in their studies.
The Western capacity use area will also include Bamberg, Lexington, Barnwell, Allendale, Calhoun and Orangeburg Counties.
Four other capacity use programs currently exist across South Carolina.
Stakeholder meetings will take place so input from affected parties, including large-scale farmers, can be brought into the capacity use program at the local level, which varies slightly from area to area based on what drives capacity use.
DHEC's Alex Butler also said the goal is not to prevent people from using water, but rather to make sure they're drawing it from the right area and right source so other users are not negatively impacted. Sometimes the solution involves industries and farms pumping water from deeper aquifers, rather than from shallower areas were resident wells rely on groundwater.

Ever since last summer, I’ve promised my son a trip to Mt. Washington. When we hiked to Monroe last summer, he wanted to go to Washington too, but after checking the time and the distance, it wasn’t an option for the day. It was also too cloudy to really enjoy the views from Washington, so I promised a hut trip for the following summer on a really nice day. He talked about this trip all winter and in celebration of the end of the school year, we did the trip this past weekend. He also had figured out that this is his tenth 4, 000 footer and he’s 10 years old, so he wanted it to be a special peak like Washington.
Friday morning we packed up all our stuff, checked the weather for the last time and headed up to Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail to go up to the Lakes of the Clouds Hut. We had hiked this trail before, so we already knew that the first part to Gem Pool would easy and the next section to the hut would be steep. At the bottom of the trail, it was sunny, but we could see as we ascended that there was a cloud and rime ice on the ridge that the hut is located and on Mt. Washington. Amazingly, as we hiked up, the cloud lifted and we had sunshine all the way to the hut. That’s not to say we didn’t have wind. We did have wind in the 30 to 45mph range. We knew in advance that we would be hiking up in windy conditions and were prepared for it. Only going to the hut meant that we wouldn’t be in the wind for very long.
We arrived at the hut in pretty good time; we left Marshfield Station at 1:30p and arrived at the hut at 4:15p. We had plenty of time to set up bunks and meet some new people before dinner. After dinner, we were treated to a lovely sunset – viewed from the hut’s dining room windows, as it was colder and windier outside than when we arrived.
After a good night’s sleep – my son tried out one of our new down sleeping bags and was plenty warm all night, even to the point of just sleeping in shorts and a t-shirt – we had a good breakfast and packed up. Once we were geared up in jackets, hats and gloves, we were ready to go. Because we had carefully watched the weather we knew to pack all this stuff in addition to fleeces, jackets and long pants! The wind was still blowing, but not as fast, and was supposed to die down quite a bit. We had beautiful sunshine and were promised 100 miles of visibility from the summit of Washington. This was the weather we had been praying for, and thankfully, got. We went up the Crawford Path to the summit of Washington, which is only 1.5 miles from the hut. We both felt that it really wasn’t that hard of a hike up to the summit. That might have had something to do with the pace (he always leads when we hike together ) or the fact that the views just kept getting better and better as we ascended and we didn’t really notice how hard the hike was.
There was still rime ice at the summit, which we could see from the hut. The sun was quickly working on melting that, so it wasn’t too hard to follow the cairns and find ice free rocks to walk on. We left at 7:50a and arrived at the summit around 9:15a.
It was still early, so there weren’t too many people up at the summit yet. The were only two Cog engines at the top and not many cars in the parking lots. We were able to enjoy the summit for quite a while, getting pictures, walking around, chatting with other hikers and eating some snacks before being ready to hike back down at about 11:00a.
While we were there, we also bought a t-shirt. I figured my son had hiked it, so he deserved the t-shirt. We happened to luck out and find a souvenir t-shirt that was *not* cotton! It is polyester and will be fine to wear for future hiking, which he intends to do.
We hiked back down to the hut, enjoying the views along the way.
We left our packs and hiked up to the summit of Monroe to eat lunch and to look at all the alpine flowers that were in bloom. We were fortunate to see all sorts of flowers in bloom, which we missed last summer. They’re amazing little flowers and are so tiny. Most of these flowers are less than 1″ across, most being less than 1/2″ across.
After a quick descent and stop at the hut to pick up our packs, we were back on our way down the Ammonoosuc Ravine and to the car. We had a wonderful time – the weather couldn’t have been better, my son did a great job hiking, and we saw some fantastic views. Not to mention that he can add another peak to his list!

On Tuesday (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), I noted how the Associated Press's headlined assessments at Anne D'Innocenzio's reports throughout the day on the Conference Board's monthly consumer confidence survey went from "falls" to "dips slightly" to "roughly flat" before ending up at "rosy" -- an evaluation the AP reporter also included in the verbiage of her final dispatch. For the record, the confidence measurement fell to 70.2 in March from 71.6 in February. Bloomberg's final report for the day also obfuscated, with a headline of "Consumer Confidence in U.S. Holds Close to One-Year High" and an opening sentence which read: "Confidence among U.S. consumers in March held close to the highest level in a year, underpinned by an improving labor market" -- anything to keep any indication of drop out of what most people would see. Along the same lines, Rush Limbaugh also picked on Reuters Tuesday for saying that confidence only "eased."
The University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Survey came out today. The press release's opening sentence: "Consumer confidence edged upward as more favorable income and job trends offset rising gas prices." Its value (with a different scale) went from 75.3 to 76.2. That's also "roughly" flat, isn't it? Don't be silly. All three wires said that an increase smaller than Tuesday's Conference Board decrease was an unqualified "rise."

Don’t take the headline the wrong way, folks. Sex with Strangers is the play title! Our first visit to this well established Indianapolis theater was most enjoyable. The Phoenix Theatre experience is different from larger venue playhouses. From the lobby we walked to the stage down a somewhat narrow flight of stairs. It seemed like we were headed down into a catacombs. The Basile Stage is outfitted with tables and chairs as well as a couple of rows of theater type seating. The seating is comfortable and intimate.
We really enjoyed Sex with Strangers. The cast has two actors. Brandon Alstott plays Ethan, a 20 something blogger and writer whose questionable morals lead to your questioning his motives. Ethan’s counterpart is a 30 something wanna be writer named Olivia, played by Angela R. Plank. Both players do an excellent job in their character development and delivery.
Thrust together by accident, the play begins with Ethan and Olivia discovering each other’s history, personalities and desires. There is great humor in the first act with references to blogging, the internet, smart phones and social media. Olivia is writing a new book. Ethan is ready to launch a new app. Yes, they do “hook up” to use current terminology. It seems like they can be a couple. But wait! The relationship sours a bit after the intermission.
We really enjoyed the show and are looking forward to attending other productions at this marvelous venue. When you go be sure to purchase one of the pastries offered. I can speak for the brownies: they are as good as your mother used to make.
Be warned, some of the language is right out of the gutter. There are explicit sexual references as well as some serious ‘making out’ on stage. I would give the show an “R’ rating.
I had to try moving the ball! It rotates with a tiny touch.
The 28 inch diameter, 2000 pound granite sphere floats on a cushion of water pumped up from a fountain below. The socket of the granite base is precision carved to allow an 8/1000th inch thick layer of water that the ball rests on. Even a child can rotate the ball!
This marvelous floating granite ball fountain is in front of the Nature Center at Holliday Park in Indianapolis.
Holliday Park is located in the near north-side of Indianapolis in one of the more higher end neighborhoods. The park is a beautiful setting with hundreds of trees, flowers and wildlife. In addition to the natural features of this inner city recreation site you will find an eclectic display affectionately tagged “The Ruins”.
The centerpiece of this ‘artwork’ is a structure that is the home of three massive sculptures atop a brick and mortar conglomeration of various architectural details. The three statues are called “The Races of Man”, are carved from (fittingly) Indiana limestone and represent Caucasian, Asian and African ethnic groups.
The original home of the three statues was a building in downtown New York that was torn down in 1950 to make way for a new skyscraper. The building’s owner, Western Electric, held a contest among US cities for the rights to have the sculptures. Long story short, Indianapolis won the competition. It took two decades and tons of money to bring “The Ruins” to a condition suitable for public use.
We visited the park today and frankly were amazed. What a beautiful setting! The Ruins were fascinating to see. It was fun walking the grounds and touring the nature center as well. We will return later after the trees bud out and flowers make their Spring appearances! There was adequate parking for RV’s and buses.

Richard Strauss was one of Germany's greatest composers. A great master of orchestration, he created tone poems in which the orchestra became one marvelous instrument, capable of expressing the whole gamut of human emotions. Among them Till Eulenspiegel, Death and Transfiguration, Don Quixote and The Hero's Life, beside his fabulous operas such as Der Rosenkavalier, Salome and others, are masterpieces.
His art songs also achieved fame and success, among which Allerseelen became a great favorite. Several times it has been transcribed for orchestra; however, the present setting is the first for symphonic band. The melody surges throughout, much in the style of Wagner. This edition adds another classic tone-poem to the band repertoire.
- Program Note from score
Richard Strauss enjoyed early success as a conductor and composer, and was influenced by the work of Wagner. Strauss developed the tone poem to an unrivalled level of expressiveness and achieved great success with his operas. While he did serve as musical director in the courts of Munich, Weimar and Berlin, Strauss’s relationship with the government in Germany was ambiguous, a fact that protected him but led to post-war difficulties and self-imposed exile in Switzerland.
Allerseelen was written by Strauss as part of a collection of eight lieder in 1885 when he was just 21 years old. Allerseelen, which is translated as “All Souls’ Day” in English, was initially performed by soprano voice and piano. Allerseelen exhibits powerful emotions and intense romanticism. The melody and rich accompaniment make it one of the most well known lieder of Strauss. Allerseelen is set to text by Hermann von Gilm zu Rosenegg (1812-1864).
Place on the table the fragrant mignonettes,
Bring the last red asters inside,
and let us speak again of love,
As once in May.
Give me your hand, so that I may secretly press it;
And if someone sees, it’s all the same to me.
Just give me one of your sweet glances,
As once in May.
Every grave blooms and is fragrant tonight,
One day in the year are the dead free,
Come to my heart, so that I may have you again,
As once in May.

P O’Neill nominates the 1p and 2p levies as the single most damning aspect of Brian Lenihan’s budget. Not for what it says about the budget, but for the questions is raises about a tax system that may no longer be fit for purpose:
…it reveals a belief (which he confirmed yesterday) that he went for a levy because he did not trust the income tax system to fairly distribute the burden of higher taxes: upper income people would have used more deductions to dodge the higher rate.
He believes it asks questions of the core competence of the Department of Finance:
…income tax is one of your primary revenue-raising tools, especially with indirect taxes like VAT and excise constrained by EU shopping (or NI costs). But he chose not to use it. It also doesnt say much about the Department of Finances ability to project revenue.
O’Neill identifies two primary ‘costs’:
First and foremost, the incentive structure for low income workers has been severely damaged. Now there is 1 euro per 100 coming right off the top of all income, except welfare payments. That used to be a problem with PRSI but they ironed that out with concessions on when PRSI kicks in and tax credits. 1% of gross is big money for people living from paycheque to paycheque. Second, it reinforces the quick fix mentality. Why bother improving the tax system through getting rid of many deductions when you can simply impose a levy in a real revenue crunch?
And one to bookmark for 2012:
Hopefully the voters wont be silly enough to fall for the talking point that is being set up for future elections, that the government didnt raise income taxes. Last weeks ESRI Budget Perspectives conference had made clear that the tax burden was going to have to go up (see the papers by Lane and Honohan). The government just chose a perverse way of doing it.

The following is an opinion and analysis.

One of my favorite Ohio places for scenic and wildflower photography in early spring is Shawnee State Forest, which sprawls over more than 60,000 acres in Scioto County and Adams County west of Portsmouth and north of the Ohio River. Shawnee is a 4-hour drive from my home in Cuyahoga Falls, but the forest panoramas and diversity of wildflowers make this area a “must visit” place for me during April each year.
Shawnee State Forest is bisected by Rte. 125, which runs northwest to southeast, with about a third of the state forest north of Rte. 125 and the major portion to the south. Most of the scenic vistas are in the southern section, except for a fine view from the Copperhead fire tower near the northern edge of the forest. It’s easy to get lost in this large area, so make sure you have a detailed map of the forest, which can be downloaded from this website: http://www.ohiodnr.com/Portals/18/forests/pdf/ShawneeForest.pdf
There is an extensive vista from the parking area just west of the Copperhead fire tower, which is on Forest Road 6 a few miles north of Roosevelt Lake. If you are not afraid of heights, climb the fire tower for some better views of the forested ridges. The fire tower is safe to climb, but it has a lot of steps and the top is very exposed, so the climb is not for the faint of heart. The view to the north from the top of the tower is blocked by trees, but the view to the south, shown in the photo above, is very fine, with ridges of forest as far as the eye can see. Because you will be facing south, this view is best photographed early or late on a sunny or partly cloudy day. The hillsides are at their most attractive in early or mid-April when the trees are partly leafed out and each hillside is a mosaic of different colors. The photo above was made with my full-frame Sony Alpha 850 and a 24-70mm lens at a 40mm setting.
If you are an early riser, and the weather cooperates, you may be blessed with morning mist, which can provide great opportunities for landscape photography. The photo above was made from Rte. 125, east of Roosevelt Lake. I used my Nikon D2X with a 70-200mm lens at a setting of 170mm. Be sure to check the histogram on your camera to make sure you do not underexpose these misty scenes.
There are few extensive views from Rte. 125, which runs through a valley for the most part, but there is a nice vista from the road, looking to the southwest, near the western edge of the state forest just before it descends a steep hill to the Adams County line near Blue Creek. There are some trees in the foreground, shown in the photo above, that may be used to provide depth and a sense of scale. This image was made with a 70-200mm lens at a 75mm setting on my Nikon D2x.
Forest interior photographs like the one above are plentiful on a misty morning along any of the forest roads at Shawnee. I strongly recommend using a tripod for all these photographs, so you can use a low ISO value for the best quality image, and a small f/stop and slow shutter speed, if needed. Using a tripod also forces you to slow down and lets you examine the composition carefully in the viewfinder. The photo above was made about 12 years ago, when I was still shooting with film, along Forest Road 2, which provides an exhilarating drive for more than a dozen miles along the ridge tops of the southern section of the state forest. I used a 65mm wide-angle lens on my 6x8cm Fuji GX680 view camera, using Fujichrome Velvia film.
Scenes like the view shown above, when early morning mist fills the hollows of the forest, have earned Shawnee State Forest its nickname as the “Little Smoky Mountains of Ohio.” There is nowhere else in the Buckeye State where you can experience endless vistas of forest, easily reached by an exciting drive on well-maintained dirt roads that are easily traversed without the need for a high-clearance or 4-wheel-drive vehicle.
Shawnee State Forest is also a great place for photographing spring wildflowers, and later this week I’ll share another blog article on a few of my favorites.

I’ll never be a morning person. And getting up at the crack of stupid on Wednesday in D.C. — my alarm and wake-up call was set for 4:20 a.m. ET — was made even more difficult by the fact I was still wide awake at 2:30 a.m., as is often the case coming off covering a hockey game and knowing I have an early flight out the next day.
But credit to the Delta flight attendant for the terrific comedy show she put on just before our 6:30 a.m departure.
First up was her humorous reminder to everyone to keep their masks on at all times, with the exception for taking a quick sip or bite of drink and food. She then rattled off examples of people she’s caught trying to game the system, including: “I’ve seen people eating sunflower seeds for three hours. Suckers. Candy canes. I had one lady holding a grape — a single grape! — for about an hour, telling me she was eating grapes. She was eating the same grape for an hour!”
She then promised to get us to our next stop as quickly as possible, saying she’d spoken with the pilot and, “He’s going to fly it like he stole it — and land it like he owns it.”
I definitely LOL’d — that’s laughed out loud — at that zinger.

Faithful readers of this newsletter — Hi Mom! — will know I’ve previously touched upon some interesting Uber experiences I’ve had.
Nothing too crazy yet on this trip, as I’ve stayed within walking distance of both the Washington and Nashville rinks, so I’m getting my steps in.
However, I did have a funny moment on my ride from the airport to my downtown D.C. hotel on Monday afternoon, when my driver’s phone rang and the caller ID called out “MOM.”
“You should probably get that,” I told him.
He laughed, and did.
After a brief chat with the woman who brought him into the world — based on his age I’m guessing she must be close to 80 — I interjected by saying “Hello” and telling her that her son was doing an excellent job of driving.
Hey, I couldn’t help but play the role of the polite Canadian.
I completed another trip around the sun this week, officially turning 47 on Monday. And so I’ll blame my advancing years on the fact that, 24 hours later, there I was sitting in Capital One Arena as Winnipeg and Washington hit the ice for pre-game warmup holding my hands to my ears to block out all the noise.
That’s right, folks: The music was WAY TOO LOUD!
The volume at Capital One Arena in Washington was cranked to ear-splitting levels on Tuesday night. (Mike McIntyre / Winnipeg Free Press)
Seriously. It was heart-pounding, ear-splitting stuff, and I was re-assured by a few colleagues in the press box, including a couple younger than I, that they, too, found it a bit much.
Good. Because if they hadn’t, I was going to tell them to GET OFF MY LAWN!
Speaking of excessive noise, I overheard quite the salacious little tale while in the Atlanta airport Wednesday morning on an hour-long layover.
Sitting a few seats down from me at a neighbouring gate was a young guy, maybe late 20s, talking to a buddy while using AirPods, apparently oblivious at JUST HOW LOUD HE WAS SPEAKING.
All within earshot could hear him describe how he was on the cusp of filing a big lawsuit against his employer after he was accidentally sent an email chain between a couple of higher-up that apparently was quite explosive in nature.
“The lawsuit is going to bring them to their knees!” he told his friend.
He never mentioned specifically where he worked, but he was making reference to having offices in both California and Vegas.
But I, and many others, learned there were 76 juicy back-and-forths he predicted were going to cause a PR nightmare as soon as word leaked out about his yet-to-be filed statement of claim.
“And it’s going to go public,” he vowed.
Except, PLOT TWIST: “Unless they buy me off. I’m not against being bought off. I’m shady like that,” he told his buddy.
I’d love to tell you how this particular soap opera ends, but unfortunately they began boarding and I had to bolt.
Talk about a cliffhanger.
A few other things I’m currently excited about, in addition to the day-to-day fun that comes with covering a pro hockey team for a living and getting to visit some pretty cool cities like the ones on this current trip.
- Wordle. Like a lot of you, I’m sure, I’m now hooked on the daily world puzzle. My lovely daughter, who turned 17 on Tuesday, introduced me to it last weekend. And now I can’t get enough, anxiously counting down the clock each day for the new one to appear.
- Pork chops: Specifically, the amazing one I ate on Monday night at Old Ebbitt Grill just across from the White House. I dragged myself out of my hotel for a solo birthday meal, and I’m still thinking about the delicious slab of meat on my plate nearly 72 hours later. Chef’s kiss!
It was Bon Appétit for Mike’s birthday dinner on Monday at Old Ebbitt Grill in D.C. (Mike McIntyre / Winnipeg Free Press)
- Ozark, Season 4: It comes out Friday, in case you hadn’t heard. And I am absolutely pumped to see what’s in store for the likes of the Byrdes, Ruth Langmore and Darlene Snell, who are among the most compelling characters I’ve ever seen. I get to Boston early Friday morning and have a Jets practice to cover in the afternoon, but I’ve told my personal assistant — that would be me — to clear my schedule for an evening of Beantown binge-watching. I’ll likely order room service. Maybe they have pork chops on the menu?
That’s it for another week, folks. Thanks, as always, for reading. And if you know someone who you think might enjoy this newsletter — or if you have a mortal enemy you’d like to subject to my Thursday afternoon musings — please forward them this link to sign up for free.
The more the merrier!


When it comes to the Star Wars franchise, opinions are often divided. Some fans might argue that the original trilogy was the best, while others prefer the newer movies. However, one movie that has been particularly controversial is Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Revenge of the Sith takes place at a time when the galaxy is in turmoil. The Clone Wars have been raging for years, and Anakin Skywalker (played by Hayden Christensen) has become disillusioned with the Jedi Order. Meanwhile, Chancellor Palpatine (played by Ian McDiarmid) has been manipulating events behind the scenes, leading to a dramatic shift in power.
One thing that Revenge of the Sith does well is tie up loose ends. The movie explains how Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader and sets up events for A New Hope.
Additionally, the special effects are top-notch and visually stunning. The battle scenes are epic, and there are some truly memorable moments throughout the film.
Another positive aspect of Revenge of the Sith is its exploration of themes such as betrayal and corruption. The movie shows how even those who seem like they’re on your side can turn against you in an instant.
Despite its strengths, Revenge of the Sith also has some flaws. Some fans criticize it for being too dark, with an overall tone that feels more like a tragedy than a typical Star Wars adventure. Additionally, some of the dialogue can come across as clunky or awkward.
Another issue with Revenge of the Sith is its treatment of certain characters. Padmé Amidala (played by Natalie Portman), for example, seems to be given less screen time than in previous movies and doesn’t have much agency or development in this film.
So, is Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith a good movie? The answer, as with most things related to Star Wars, is complicated.
While it has its flaws, Revenge of the Sith is a visually stunning and thematically rich film that ties up loose ends from the prequel trilogy. If you’re a fan of the franchise, it’s definitely worth checking out – just be prepared for a darker tone than you might be used to.
- Visually stunning special effects
- Epic battle scenes
- Ties up loose ends from prequel trilogy
- Explores themes of betrayal and corruption
- Dark tone may not appeal to all fans
- Some clunky dialogue
- Treatment of certain characters (such as Padmé) could be improved
Overall Rating: 7/10
Despite its flaws, Revenge of the Sith is an important part of the Star Wars saga and worth watching for fans looking for closure on the prequel trilogy.

Mix and Match: Pair Trends for a Unique Look
Whether you like to keep things simple or with a little spice, there's something about fusing prints, patterns, and random pieces that takes a clever eye and good style judgment. These celebs have mastered the art of mixing. They've paired stripes with bold patterns like houndstooth, and have matched warm weather elements with cozy jackets and gloves. Take a cue from these stars on how to pull off this complex trend.
Here's what you had to say:

MUNICH, August 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
- TNS Infratest publishes results of the "AutoTeileOnlineMonitors" (ATOM)
The Internet knows no limits, not even in the private auto parts trade. Almost 4 million car drivers in Great Britain bought spare parts, tyres, rims and accessories for their car online last year. The annual sales volume related to all this activity has reached well over half a billion pounds.
This is the conclusion that the market research and consulting company TNS reaches in the new edition of its "AutoTeileOnlineMonitor" (ATOM - Auto Parts Online Monitor). Using this monitoring system, the auto market researchers at TNS Infratest continually analyse the online market for car parts, tyres and accessories in different European markets as well as in the US.
The competition for the sales volume in the market for car components will in future shift increasingly to the Internet. According to the experts at TNS Infratest, over half of online private buyers already prefer to use the Internet to buy auto parts today, with some even making their purchases exclusively online.
A separate market with new participants and specific requirements is developing on the Internet, and suppliers who want to be a part of the trends in this market need to have a very good understanding of the consumer's decision-making processes.
"Online buyers of car parts set great store by attractively priced offers and favourable terms of delivery. But the issue of security and data protection during online purchasing is central in their choice of an online shop. The majority of online buyers always compare several offers before they opt for a particular online shop. So search engines are used intensively. Market success therefore requires very good search engine marketing and a persuasive differentiation of your online offer against the competition. We demonstrate this very clearly in our study," says Michael Plotegher, Senior Director at TNS Infratest.
