After a summer of “mostly peaceful protests” that very often ended with flames engulfing random buildings in cities across the country, after years of calling the duly elected president of the United States a traitor and comparing him to Hitler and other fascists, after years of denouncing “right-wing terrorists” while turning a blind eye to the countless cases of violence perpetrated on conservatives by left-wing agitators after years of pretending that Big Tech wasn’t censoring average citizens and mocking anyone who raised concerns about the power of those who now host the public square, after doxing countless administration officials and urging people to publicly accost them, after tacitly encouraging activists to protest right-wing journalists and politicians at night outside of their homes, after applauding the demonization of average Americans and the destruction of the lives of those who do not agree with them, after all of that, the political establishment and the media suddenly woke up on Wednesday to see hundreds of thousands of enraged Americans storming the Capitol building of the United States. The people’s house.
Their response? To lay the blame squarely at the feet of Donald J. Trump, the 45th president of the United States.
They still don’t get it. President Trump was not the author of that message. He was just the messenger.
The message? That average Americans are sick and tired of the incompetence of their government. Sick and tired of the corruption that has sold our country out to the rest of the world. Sick and tired of being betrayed by the very people they elected to represent them—to fight for them. Wednesday was just another manifestation of the outrage of citizens who are disenfranchised.
The media and the Democrats immediately spun the protests as a demonstration of the corrosive power of Trump. They called his speech at the Ellipse an incitement to violence. They demanded his immediate resignation. They threatened to impeach him . . . again. They denounced him as a threat to democracy.
But we expected that. The media and the Democrats are the president’s political enemies. They will seize on anything they can to try to destroy him, his followers, and his legacy. Who can blame them? They have a constituency to represent—even if it is comprised of people they brainwashed to hate the man and the half of the country that supports him.
But establishment Republicans? In a better world, we might expect them to stand up for their constituency. After all, establishment Republicans like to point out how the Democrats come around every two years to ask for minority votes and then completely forget about them as soon as they secure reelection. The Republican establishment wouldn’t make the same mistake with their base, would they?
Of course they would.
Establishment Republicans—the weak-willed, out-of-touch, sniveling spineless cowards—immediately reacted with outrage. Some called the mostly peaceful protesters at the Capitol domestic terrorists. They denounced them. They betrayed them.
A Republican congressman opined on television that this is not how we solve problems in this country. He talked about how we solved problems with debate and deliberation. It’s not entirely clear how he—or any member of Congress, for that matter—would know anything about solving problems, let alone debate and deliberation.
Congress took six months to approve a measly $600 for the beleaguered citizens that they represent. And even passing that required hundreds of billions of dollars of appropriation to a compendium of every lobbyist and special interest group’s pet project. And then they expected us to applaud them for doing their fucking jobs.
For a party that glamorizes the Revolutionary War—you know, that mostly violent protest that we had a few hundred years ago—the Republicans and the conservative establishment are surprisingly myopic about the perils of not listening to and acting on the grievances of their voters. They ignore their base at their own peril.
If Congress were slightly more circumspect, they might fear the 82 percent of the public that disapproves of them.
Facebook, Twitter, and Apple sensed weakness and pounced immediately. Facebook and Twitter banned the sitting president of the United States. Apple announced it likely would be banning the Parler app from its store. Tech-savvy tyrant-wannabes are likely trying to figure out how to bully ICANN and the large telecom companies into censoring us completely.
What odds would you take that your favorite Republican representative even knows what ICANN is, let alone how it works? But some principled conservatives will soon tell us that the free market will incentivize some imaginary savior to create a new internet. Don’t bet on it.
You’ve seen the censorship, the repression we have faced, the cancellations, the inability for normal Americans to live their lives without fear that some social media mob will come and ruin their livelihoods because of their beliefs and their statements. And that was with President Trump in office and a Republican Senate. How do you think you will fare under a President Biden (Harris) with consolidated power in Congress? Do you think John Roberts will save you? How’s that been going for you? If they can censor the president of the United States, they can do it to anyone.
Enough is enough. We must primary nearly every single Republican representative and senator in 2022. We must replace the corrupt establishment with a new slate of hungry, young, candidates on the Right. I know what I’m doing for the next two years.
In the meantime, we must make our voices heard with our representatives. If the House mail servers and switchboards don’t crash on Monday morning at 9 a.m., we will have missed a massive opportunity.
We cannot do this through social media—the platforms are against us and will do everything in their power to repress our message. We can no longer tweet our displeasure into the void hoping that some change may come from it.
This is a job for you. Yes, you. You can call ten of your closest friends and get them fired up. You can ask them to pledge that they will call, email, mail, and fax their representatives on Monday morning to express their outrage at their gutlessness and to demand immediate action to restore freedom of speech, election integrity, and the values that so many men and women in our country’s history have died for.

James Laube is a wine expert on the wines of California. Living in an agricultural setting reconnected me with my roots. He started writing about wine. The whole scope of wine, grapes, farming, weather, terroir and the people involved in making wine offered a fascinating opportunity–to be a reporter and record events as they happened, hoping to leave future historians with one writer’s perspective.
He tasted all of the wines reviewed in Wine magazines. That gave him an incredible opportunity to taste the wines of France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Australia, Oregon, Washington, Chile and Argentina.
As he divided the wine world into tasting beats, his area of expertise became California, in addition to being a regular columnist for the magazine. James typically taste 5,000 California wines a year, about 100 a week.
He has written four books on the subject: California’s Great Cabernets, California’s Great Chardonnays and two editions of California Wine, the first edition of which won the James Beard Award for the best wine book of the year.
He has traveled to and written about Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Loire Valley, the Rhône Valley and Sauternes in France; Italy; Spain; Germany; Australia; Mexico; and, in the United States, Washington; Oregon; and Long Island, N.Y.
He drinks all kinds of different wines and find that the wine world is an endlessly fascinating subject. He is amazed at audience, sharing with him a passion for wine and the richness and dimension it brings to our lives.

Businesses across Cornwall are being warned that a valuable commercial property tax relief is being axed within weeks.
The Business Premises Renovation Allowance (BPRA) is being withdrawn by the Government at the end of March after ten years.
BPRA provides businesses with a 100% first year tax allowance for expenditure on converting or renovating certain unused business premises in ‘disadvantaged areas’, which include Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
Now PKF Francis Clark tax consultant, Daniel Sladen, is urging businesses across the county to move quickly to avoid losing additional tax allowances.
He said: “BPRA has been a valuable allowance which we have helped a number of our clients to claim and we are disappointed to see it withdrawn.
“It is of particular value because it can provide tax relief for costs relating to the structure of a building in addition to the usual allowances for equipment, fixtures and fittings. Once the relief is withdrawn, some of the previously eligible expenditure may not attract any tax relief at all until such time as the building is sold.”
Sladen, based at PKF Francis Clark’s Truro office, added: “It is unlikely that new projects can now be started before the allowance closes, but Cornish businesses already planning or carrying out work that may qualify should press on quickly in order to benefit from the additional tax allowance.”
Daniel recommended that businesses with a possible claim for the allowance should contact their accountants or tax advisers as soon as possible to ensure that they do not miss out.
BPRA was introduced in 2007 as an incentive to bring former shops and business premises back into use, originally for five years but was later extended to run until 2017.
The allowance will end on March 31 for companies and April 5 for unincorporated businesses and individuals.
Founded in 1919, PKF Francis Clark has a team of more than 600 people and 60 partners in eight offices across Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset and Wiltshire.

Heirs of Muhammad: Islam's First Century and the Origins of the Sunni-Shia Splitby Barnaby Rogerson
Within a generation of the prophet Muhammad's death, his followers-as vivid a cast of heroic individuals as history has ever known-had exploded out of Arabia to confront the two great superpowers of the seventh century and establish Islam and with it a new civilization.

Acclaimed historian Barnaby Rogerson recounts the lives of the handful of individuals who led and influenced Islam after the death of Muhammad.

He went over lots of details as we sat in that room. We must had been in that room for hours, and then a man, more of a boy walked in. He couldn't of been older than 14, and was carrying a gun.
"There has been a riot." He said trying to pull up his uniform that was clearly to big for him. I could tell he was scared, I could feel his heart pumping faster than the regular heart rate.
"You know how to handle it." He said. Not taking any of his attention away from me.
"So you have to give me your word that my family, and friends stay safe." I said looking him dead in the eye.
"I give you my word, I will not touch them, nor will anyone under my command. But they must stay inside the walls of the camp, or the deal is off." He said.
"That includes my blood family, and the three friends we discussed, and my boyfriend Jason." I said. I could hear a fraction of hesitation in his voice.
"What is it?" I asked raising my eyebrow.
"We have no record of the Jason Tyler you are talking about." He said.
"What do you mean?" I asked, not I could feel my body start to panic, and tense.
"He is either dead, or has not been caught by our troops yet." He said. I could feel my heart sink, and a million questions start to come through my mind. I know Jason, he would rather die than be sent to one of these camps. He wouldn't let them take him alive, I need to find him if he is still alive before the Germans do.
"One more condition." I said.
"I will do whatever you want, but you need to let me find him." I said. There was no negotiation to this. "You either let me do this, or I will not cooperate." I said.
"You will be allowed to after you have completed your training, and must be escorted with my men." He said. I knew he was never going to trust me, he was going to keep me on a tight leash.
"I know that I don't know the limit to what you did to me. I don't know how strong, smart, or fast I will be, but neither do you." I said, and then stood up, and walked to the door. It opened almost immediately, and I was escorted to an army vehicle outside the facility.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked. But no one in the vehicle answered me, the two men sitting in the front just kept their heads facing forward. It was a half an hour drive, but we finally arrived at what looked like a training facility. I could see the running track, it looked like it had never even been run on. I got out of the car, and there was just one man standing out front waiting for me. He looked a little to excited to be here if you ask me.
As soon as I took a step out of the vehicle he was walking towards me with his hand out, waiting for me to shake it. I didn't bother, I didn't want to be here, and it wasn't going to be pleasant anyways. I just rolled my eyes, and walked right by him.
I turned around to see another three vehicles rolling up behind us. 20 men walked out of the vehicles, and started to position themselves. I seen the same boy hop out of the vehicle, he looked scared still.
"We have to head into the building." The boy said placing his hand on my back, and giving me a gentle push. Normally I wouldn't of put up with one of them touching me, but something about him reminded me of my younger brother. I just smiled at him, and started to walk to the door that was placed on the north side of the building.
It looked like a gym, but a high tech one I had never seen anything on it. This was far more advanced than anything I had ever seen.
"Your living quarters are located in the far back corner, there is a bed, and bathroom back there. You do not have to worry about meals, we will prepare, and bring them to you." A different man said. He seemed about as excited to be here as I did. He was the same man that had brought me to the leader. Looking at him was something I liked to do. He was a very attractive man, his skin was flawless except for the cut that laid across his throat. I was so curious about it, but I knew that it would probably be better to not ask about it.
I just nodded, it was really late out, I turned around, and the boy was standing guard at the front door. I guess it was really the only door in and out of the building.
I made my way to the back room where there was a little single bed, that was perfectly folded. I looked over, and there was a shower, toilet, and sink right in the open. I could feel my body getting tired, but it was also late out. I crawled into the bed, it was far from comfy. The sheets were rough, and the blanket scratched my skin whenever I moved. The bed itself was stiff, and was almost like sleeping on a board lifted off of the ground.
I finally managed to get comfy, and relaxed. My heart was beating slower than it normally would, but it was almost calming to me. Within minutes I was out cold.

What Americans need to know about bringing their pets to Europe
Planning a move from the United States to the European Union is hard enough for human beings - but don’t underestimate the time and logistics required to get your cat or dog across the Atlantic, too. Here's everything you need to know.
The paperwork required for your dog or cat to travel to Europe with you is the biggest hurdle. A misstep here could derail your travel plans altogether or leave your pet stranded in an airport quarantine facility.
- As soon as possible: Find a USDA accredited veterinarian authorised to issue an EU health certificate for international pet travel (search for one in your area here). Ask them to review the country-specific requirements of your destination—these can differ slightly but are largely the same across the EU. Your pet will need to be current on their rabies vaccinations and have an ISO-compliant microchip or legible code tattoo.
- 30 days before departure: Schedule an appointment with the USDA accredited vet to conduct the health check for the EU health certificate. These are only valid for 30 days, so you can’t get a head start on this step. Your veterinarian can fill out the health certificate online through the APHIS portal. Double-check to confirm the microchip number in your paperwork matches the number displayed on the reader in the vet’s office.
- 10 days before departure: Get your pet’s health certificate endorsed by your regional APHIS Veterinary Services Endorsement Office. Some states have several of these offices, and some have none—if yours is nearby, call ahead to see if in-person, same day endorsement appointments are available. If not, you’ll need to pay in advance for return shipping to receive the original document before your departure—you need the original with inked signatures and embossed stamps to enter the EU. You’ll also need to pay the endorsement fee, $38. The endorsement must be completed no earlier than 10 days before your departure.
- Day of departure: Bring the EU health certificate, the original APHIS endorsement, and, if your pet’s microchip isn’t ISO compliant, your own microchip reader in your carry-on luggage. Present this at your final destination—go through the “something to declare” line in customs.
Carry-on or Cargo?
Small pets—generally under 8 kg or 17 lbs—can ride in the cabin with you, while bigger animals will need to travel in the cargo hold. But since the pandemic began, both Delta and United airlines have suspended the travel of pets in DeltaCargo and United PetSafe travel respectively. American Airlines only allows active-duty military to check pets.
When pets are allowed to travel by cargo, they need an additional airline-specific certification from a vet that they’re healthy enough to fly (as a generally rule, brachycephalic or snub-nosed breeds—like pugs, bulldogs, or Persian cats—can’t travel in the hold). Your airline will provide requirements for carriers allowed in the cargo hold. Pets can’t fly in cargo if it’s too hot or cold in your departure, destination or connecting airports, so be careful if you plan to travel in high summer or winter.
Airlines and plane tickets
Forget the points, because your preferred airline may not be the best choice for this long haul with your pet. Airlines charge for pet tickets whether they’re in the cabin with you or in the hold—these range from about $100 to $200. Your seat selections may also be limited since bulkheads and first-class seats don’t always accommodate carriers.
- Book your tickets by phone. Many airlines don’t allow you to book plane tickets online when you’re travelling with your pet. This is because there are stringent requirements for carriers and a limited number of pets allowed per flight.
- Review carrier requirements with agent. If you plan to travel with your pet in the cabin, the customer service agent will check the underseat dimensions for each leg of your flight (note that the maximum allowable size for the pet carrier is often smaller than the underseat dimensions listed on any plane specs you might find online). If you’re flying with multiple airlines—even partners like Delta and AirFrance—you’ll likely have to repeat this process with the partner airline as well. You may need to submit the dimensions of your carrier and sometimes even pictures for approval.
- Links to pet travel guides for major airlines
Your cat or dog will be stowed under the seat in front of you. A rule of thumb is your pet needs to be able to stand, turn around, and sit comfortably while in the carrier under the seat. Some airlines demand a soft-sided carrier, while others allow hard carriers. Several sides of the carrier will need ventilation.
The runaway favorite carrier for in-cabin pets is the Sherpa Original or Sherpa Deluxe — it's the Wirecutter's pick and has nearly 11,000 5-star reviews on Amazon. It's designed to match the requirements of most major airlines.
To sedate or tranquilize?
The Federal Aviation Administration advises against sedatives for pets since their effects on animals at high elevations are poorly studied, and some drugs can have a stimulating effect (which will only heighten your pet's anxieties, or make them respond aggressively). Do not sedate or tranquilize your pet for the first time during air travel, even if the medication is prescribed by your vet. If you’re worried about your pet’s nerves, remember a bad reaction to medication—or an overdose—will be much more traumatic.
Pets travelling in the cargo hold can’t be sedated or tranquilized and won’t be allowed to fly if they appear groggy or disoriented.

Folk, a bewitching debut novel from Zoe Gilbert, 2014 winner of the UK’s revered Costa Short Story Award.
When I was twelve, I sought out the kind of fiction that led me down magical paths, places where powerful incantations held sway in mysterious other-worldly planes. In recent years, I’ve gravitated toward the kind of writing that teaches me something new or challenges my sense of what literature should be. Fantasy fiction hasn’t been my go-to. Yet, I was easily caught in the dark net cast by Zoe Gilbert, a PhD student of mentor Alison MacLeod in South-East London, and 2014 winner of UK’s revered Costa Short Story Award.
This unique award is judged anonymously, with the names of the competing authors withheld throughout the process. Gilbert’s short story Fishskin, Hareskin received the highest number of public votes and is now one of the separate yet interconnected stories contained in her bewitching debut novel, Folk.
Zoe Gilbert has conjured an eerily beautiful world, an un-happily ever after place, drawn from old tales from the Isle of Man, where “moonlight reaches down between branches” and kites strain and wood quivers. The briny air is rich with the scent of sodden thatch, salt sea-fog and cobnut shells. A fiddle mourns for lost loves where wild enchanted characters inhabit a land tethered to sub-pagan ritual.
At times this book languishes in a way that detracts from its narrative. However, Gilbert triumphs with some simply infatuating prose. She spins ancient myth like a true Solomon, recounting a world, unreal yet more real than our own.
And while the pursuit of supernatural storytelling is to create a universe far far away, these constructed worlds cannot help but reflect a kind of hyper-reality, shining light on our own existence, how are we the same, what are we missing? Take the story of Verlyn, a character born with a wing for an arm and sadly defined by that peculiarity. Verlyn’s tale illustrates our misunderstanding of difference and the resultant fear that blinds our ability both to understand and to love.
In Prick Song, ancient ritual prescribes village girls to fire ribboned arrows into a thick gorse maze which young suitors compete to retrieve. Bloody scratch marks earn the boys kisses on their stinging lips, but the proceedings turn grim when a battle ravaged victor is burned alive.
In Water Bull Bride, Gilbert conceives a water bull as Minotaur, who disguises himself as a man so to capture and seduce a bride. Underwater he elicits a sexual appetite in her that cannot be quenched by mortals.
A new mother who is preoccupied by hares wraps her strange offspring in the skins of childhood pets. A young boy named Hark lives behind a waterfall and uses his ox-voice to answer villager’s questions. Each of their stories can stand alone; together they hint at the passage of time, culminating in a deep and strangely beautiful sense of place.
When I finished Folk, I found myself sadly staring at the cover, then out the window, wishing I could return to Gilbert’s mythical land called Neverness, that my bare feet touched a verdant forest floor or that I might shake hands with a less (more?) human being. There’s something incredibly appealing about erasing the sharp angles of contemporary existence, and there’s a sense of loss in the return to hard boiled reality.
This is not a title that will be to everyone’s taste, but lovers of fantasy fiction will admire Gilbert’s work, and I imagine that some soon to be fans will like it too.

The Hainish Cycle series by Ursula K. Le Guin
Burning Your Boats: the collected short stories by Angela Carter
A Guide to Being Born by Ramona Ausubel
Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan
Unlike other dystopian novelists, Zumas plots no dramatic martial law. Her characters simply wake to a president they didn’t vote for and then later to the legislation that decides how their bodies are used. In an Oregon fishing town, four characters swallow what it now means to be a woman. One wishes she could escape her children, one surrenders a child for adoption, one seeks abortion and one desperately wants to be a mother.
The story centers on Ro, “The Biographer,” a depressed, single, high school history teacher, whose father lives in a Florida retirement home, whose brother died of a heroin overdose, and whose last chance to have a child is through artificial insemination. Ro visits a fertility specialist’s office, described as “a room for women whose bodies are broken,” where she tries to rationalize her urgent impulse to motherhood.
Susan, “The Wife,” lives in the house she grew up in with an aloof husband who teaches at the same school as “The Biographer.” Susan begs him to attend couples therapy while trying not to resent their two toddlers who annoy and fatigue her stay-at-home life. Susan envies Ro’s childlessness but offers only condescension, both women burdened by societal expectations.
Adopted Mattie, “The Daughter,” loses her virginity to her careless boyfriend. The promising but pregnant 15-year-old in the Biographer’s class, she pursues abortion in a world that now views her as criminal.
Gin, “The Mender,” a defiant healer, shares forest herbs to help end pregnancies for women without money or insurance. Arrested in a modern-day witch hunt, her narrative unites the other women, who work to get Gin acquitted.
And Eivør, a 19th-century, Faroese polar explorer and the compelling subject of Ro’s biography, disrupts each chapter with fragments of her brutal determined life, serving as a compass for women who persist.
Zumas fluently speaks their truths, from the Daughter’s fear and earnestness, to the Mother’s conflicted emotions and the Mender’s earthy intuition. Her prose will suddenly quicken in a flood of anxiety, sarcasm and rationality.
“She doesn't want to skip the Math Academy.
(She kicks Nouri’s gothsickle ass at calculus.)
Or to push it out.
She doesn't want to wonder; and she would.
The kid too—Why wasn’t I kept?
Was his mother too young? Too old? Too hot? Too cold?
She doesn’t want him wondering, or herself wondering.
Are you mine?
And she doesn’t want to worry she’ll be found.
But she has a self. Why not use it?”
Thrilled by her mercurial style, I bookmarked a dozen pages in Zumas’ "Red Clocks," a story that cleverly reveals the underpinnings of a current socio-political wrangle yet maintains hope for personal transformation. Leni Zumas is one to watch.

The Tri-Cities chess team had a rough start to the season in September, losing to the very strong Chigorin chess club. But the team came back nicely in round 2, scoring a decisive 6.5-2.5 win against SFU. David and Sherry were joined by chess expert Marek Radzikowski.
We lost round one 2-1when David lost on time in a winning position. The 15 5 time control is very fast. I play practice games at this time control to get used to it.
We won round two 2.5-0.5 and then shut out our opponents in round three 3-0.
I hope to make my season debut if my son's soccer schedule allows it. But perhaps this team doesn't need me.....see you in November.
This is the best picture I have. Tri-Cities chess team is in the foreground. Left to right, Marek, David and Sherry.

Hexicon taps SSAB for Baltic floater
Swedish floating wind power developer Hexicon has sealed a deal with compatriot steel maker SSAB, as part of plans to install a industrial-scale demonstration model of its giant multi-turbine concept in the Baltic Sea by 2017.
Hexicon and SSAB aim to optimise the super-strength Welcox structured steel that is in the frame for use in the foundation of the Hexicon flagship, "to ensure functionality and cost-effective solutions during the complete life cycle".
The pilot unit, which would feature "three or four" 6MW turbines, would be moored on the Bleking concession off the east coast of Sweden in 40-50 metres of water. A turbine supplier will be chosen "in the autumn".
Larger versions of the Hexicon concept have been looked at in the past for other locations, including a gigantic 54MW station fitted with a mix of 6.5MW horizontal-axis machines and 30 500kW vertical-axis turbines that was mulled for installation in the deep waters off Malta.
Hexicon sees a pipeline of projects waiting to take shape off Scotland, Spain's Canary Islands and in "one of several locations in the Mediterranean" following the Swedish demonstrator, a company spokesman tells Recharge, adding there has also been "preliminary interest" from several Chinese developers.
“This agreement [with SSAB] is an important milestone in further development of our patented solutions," says Hexicon chief executive Henrik Baltscheffsky.
"Far offshore wind power is more easily scalable and a prime source of renewable energy. Hexicon's technology offers competitive advantages for the long term renewable energy market."
Head of SSAB Emea Melker Jernberg adds: “The Hexicon patent is an application where our high-strength structured steel will come to excellent usage."
Hexicon’s original floating wind-power station concept was designed in the Olympian-scale tradition of the offshore oil and shipbuilding industries, based around a closed-cell steel-and-foam sandwich hull 480 metres across and 26 metres tall in the water.
The demonstrator is in line to be built at the Karlskrona shipyard using an all-Swedish supply chain for componentry, bar the turbines.


Fallkniven are using a laminate steel because such a steel is at least 20% stronger than a solid stainless steel. Designing a survival knife you always have to consider about the strength of the knife since you might be forced to use the knife beyond standards. Usually we go for strong low/medium carbon stainless steel for the outer layers and add VG10, Cobalt-Special or Super Gold Powder Steel as a center steel. The 420J2 is a low-carbon high chromium alloy steel and we are using that because of its strength and its almost corrosion-free properties. We’re using VG2 stainless steel as well and, with a higher carbon content, the VG2 steel is less scratch sensitive than the 420J2, a little stronger but also more expensive and tougher to work.

COPENHAGEN – A Norwegian man was arrested on Saturday after allegedly carrying out a shooting at a mosque in Baerum, a suburb of Oslo.
The purported assailant was the only person injured in the incident.
The detainee is a 20-year-old local resident of Norwegian ethnicity, a senior police official, Rune Skjold, said at a press conference.
Skjold, who told reporters that the suspect was questioned after receiving medical treatment but did not speculate on a possible motive, said without providing further information that the man was known to police and added that his online activity prior to the incident is under investigation.
Norwegian police received a call at 4:07 pm Saturday about a shooting inside the Al-Noor Islamic Center.
Skjokd said that when police arrived at the scene they found an individual who had been overpowered by people at the mosque.
Police, who have ruled out the possibility of multiple attackers, cordoned off the crime scene to facilitate the work of investigators.
Mosque director Irfan Mushtaq told Norwegian media that the perpetrator of the attack was wearing a helmet and a uniform and was carrying two handguns, adding that around six people were inside the place of worship at the time of the attack.
He said that a glass security door had been installed at the Al-Noor Islamic Center in the wake of attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March that left 51 dead and 49 injured.
Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg, for her part, expressed sympathy with those who were in the mosque on Saturday and others affected by the incident, saying it should be safe to visit mosques, churches and other places of worship in the country.
Solberg said it was too soon to speculate on a possible motive.
In a statement, a spokesman for the mosque, Ikhlaq Ahmad, expressed concern over the incident and said it brought to mind two massacres: the July 22, 2011, killing of 77 people in a bomb attack and a mass shooting at a summer camp of Norway’s largest political youth organization and the Christchurch bloodbath on March 15, 2019.
Both the perpetrator of the Norwegian massacre, Anders Behring Breivik, and the suspect in the Christchurch mass shooting attacks, Brenton Tarrant, expressed extreme anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiments in manifestos.

Ok, My grandma took a sick cat to this vet..they made her sign a paper saying she agreed to let htem treat it..the vet then gave it a shot after it had a fever of 106..within an hour its fever was back to 101...she then went back to work/class (she's a college student) and then when she called the vet told her the cat had to be put to sleep (anesthia) to give it bloodwork ?? Why the hell would they put a cat to sleep to take it's blood? And then they claimed he had something in his throat and wanted to look in it.. yet they didn't ask or tell her about any of this stuff, they just went ahead nad did all these procedures. Supposedly it has a spot where the drainage is and the vet said it was 'like a granulation' He's claiming it might be throat cancer and it'll be an expensive treatment..the cat looks very young and this vet sounds like he just wants to take advantage and make some money since she doesn't know anything about cats.. I am probably the most knowledgable about cats in the family but have not seen the cat yet..anyhow..any advice?

The so-called Clean Stormwater and Flood Reduction Act (Assembly Bill A2694; Senate Bill 1073), which was passed by the New Jersey Legislature on January 31, currently awaits Gov. Murphy's signature. The act notes that 10 percent of New Jersey's land area is covered with impervious surfaces. The bill received wide support, because, as it states, "New Jersey, in particular, is prone to pollution and flooding problems," which are "particularly acute in the 21 urban New Jersey municipalities that have combined sewer systems, which routinely overflow and discharge untreated wastewater and stormwater into the State's waters, contributing to water pollution and impairing the use and enjoyment of those waters."
The act would permit a county or municipality to establish a public stormwater utility for the purposes of "acquiring, constructing, improving, maintaining, and operating stormwater management systems in the county or municipality." Once a utility is established, a county or municipality could establish and collect "reasonable fees and other charges" to recover the stormwater utility's cost for stormwater management. Such "fees and other charges" may be billed to and collected from the "owner or occupant, or both, of any real property from which originates stormwater runoff which directly or indirectly enters the stormwater management system or the waters of the State" and are to "be based on a fair and equitable approximation of the proportionate contribution of stormwater runoff from the property." Farmland or land in agricultural use and assessed as such pursuant to the Farmland Assessment Act would be exempt from such fees or other charges. Presumably, such a fee would be based on the amount of impervious coverage a property has; however, the act provides for a partial fee reduction for properties that incorporate stormwater management strategies that exceed New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection or local stormwater control requirements.
A portion of the funds collected would be diverted to state and local coffers other than those of the stormwater utility. The lesser of 5 percent of such fees and charges or $50,000 is to be remitted to the state treasurer by each public stormwater utility for deposit into the Clean Stormwater and Flood Reduction Fund. Up to 5 percent of a surplus in annual revenue from a stormwater utility may be transferred to and included in the local municipal budget.
While there is no doubt that the enhancement of stormwater infrastructure encouraged by the act would be a public benefit, particularly in reducing pollution from runoff, it is questionable whether the proposed act will actually make a difference in a state with some of the most aggressive stormwater regulations in the country. One of the arguments against the so-called "rain tax" is the existence of New Jersey's Stormwater Management rules, which regulate runoff through the Residential Site Improvement Standards in connection with residential applications as well as in connection with major developments and site plan applications. The Stormwater Management rules have been in effect since 2004.
It is likely that such fees will add another layer of cost for developers who already have to comply with stormwater management regulations to reduce runoff and sometimes make off-tract improvements to stormwater systems. The stormwater utilities that would be formed pursuant to the act can be compared to existing sewer authorities, which collect connection and usage fees; yet despite these funds, many sewer systems are antiquated. In such cases, despite the payment of sewer connection and usage fees, sewer authorities and municipalities still look to developers to repair or upgrade the off-tract sewer systems in connection with development approvals.
Gov. Murphy has not yet signed the act. If he does, it remains to be seen how many municipalities and counties will establish local stormwater utilities and fund them through local taxation.
UPDATED: On March 18, Governor Murphy signed New Jersey's Clean Stormwater and Flood Reduction Act into law as P.L. 2019, c. 42. The tax involved may be established on a town-by-town basis so property owners should take notice as to whether their individual municipality creates a stormwater utility and enacts a tax to support it.

Here is a link to install instructions: https://www.strongtie.com/standoffpostbases_castinplacepostbases/epb_base/p/epb
The allowable loads for the EPB44 vary depending on seismic design category and condition; please see the following link to the load table for complete details: https://www.strongtie.com/standoffpostbases_castinplacepostbases/epb_base/p/epb#LoadTables. It would be up to the Designer/Engineer of Record to determine if it is suitable for the specific application. Thank you!
The EPB44 requires 0.162" x 3 1/2" common nails. Thank you!
Do yourself a big favor and just replace the footing. Having installed fence fro years I've always regretted trying to salvage posts and footings. Do it right once or do it wrong over and over again.
I used it for a 8ft post and worked perfectly for our canopy.
This works very well for your fence if you are setting them in cement first. In stead of pouring cement around the post
Yes it should work good
First I want to point out that the EPB bases must be installed in concrete. The EPB44 has the Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint finish which provides a low level of corrosion protection. It can also be ordered with the hot-dip galvanized finish (EPB44HDG) which provides a medium level of corrosion protection and can be used in many applications with treated wood, but not all. Please see the Corrosion section of our website to determine the recommended finish for your specific application based on environment, type of treated wood being used, chemical retention, etc. Thank you!
This would be a question for the Designer as he/she is responsible for the concrete design. Thank you!

Frank Henry Haviland King, 86, died in Roswell following a short illness on Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012.
Frank, who was a New Mexico Military Institute alumnus, returned to Roswell in 1989 as visiting professor at the Institute.
He held degrees from Stanford University and the University of Oxford, where he was a member of Exeter College, and an honorary fellow at Merton College. Frank’s area of scholarly expertise was the economic and monetary [auth] history of Southeast Asia, especially China.
During Frank’s professional career he worked for the World Bank, taught economics at the University of Kansas, and served as the founding director of the Centre of Asian Studies at the University of Hong Kong.
A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 29, 2012, at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church.
Frank was born in Orpington, England, on Jan. 11, 1926, the son of Frank H. and Mabel “Olga” (Opie) King. He spent his first 12 years in England before moving with his parents to Dallas, where his father was a bureau chief for The Associated Press. He attended New Mexico Military Institute, where he became editor of the school paper, the “Pup Tent,” and later served in the Army as a press and liaison officer in China.
Frank was an accomplished and persistent world traveler. He turned down an early career opportunity in Roswell as a travel agent, preferring to travel himself and then to help his family to follow in his footsteps. As a young man, he crossed the Sahara in a jeep and hiked across the Pyrenees. In England, he was an inveterate walker who hiked the traditional rights-of-way that crisscross the landscape. In his later years, he traveled frequently to England and Hong Kong to revisit former haunts and see friends and colleagues.
Frank’s academic life was centered in the University of Oxford from which he held B.A, M.A., D.Phil., and Doctor of Letters degrees, and the University of Hong Kong. He and his family frequently spent time in Oxford, and they were based for 20 years in Hong Kong. As director of the Centre of Asian Studies, Frank guided and contributed to a variety of multi-disciplinary projects on Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. His own magnum opus was a four-volume, commissioned history of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corp. (now a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc.). In May 2012, Frank was invited to become a Distinguished Institute Fellow in the Hong Kong Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences, in recognition of his contributions to the University of Hong Kong.
In addition to his academic work, Frank was a passionate devotee of the theater, classical music and opera. His trips to England always included many nights watching plays and attending concerts. He was particularly enthusiastic about Shakespeare. Not only did he love the plays for their insights into human nature, but he was also fascinated by the history of the performance of these plays and the different ways they could be interpreted and staged.
Frank suffered through most of his life from ankylosing spondylitis, a severe arthritic condition of the spine. This never slowed him down, but may have contributed to the pneumonia and heart conditions that emerged in his final weeks.
Frank was predeceased by his beloved wife Catherine, and his youngest son Peter.
He is survived by two sons, Roger, who teaches philosophy at the University of Maine, and David, a translator and writer who lives with multiple sclerosis in Oxford, Miss.; three daughters-in-law, Laurie Hicks, of Maine, Chiarella Esposito, of Oxford, and Levke King, of Brussels; and four grandchildren, Vincent and Esther, of Brussels, and Angela and Tony, of Oxford.

You may recall that these are the potatoes that I did not plant this spring. These are the volunteer plants that came up from the potatoes that were not completely dug up last year. I blame the digger (me) for not paying attention when harvesting the crop last year.
But there were a few extenuating circumstances.
First, these were free potatoes. Last year on Father’s Day Weekend we visited a feed store for Ugly Tie Days. It’s a promotion where you turn in an ugly tie and get a $5. gift certificate. Before you fall off your chair laughing, remember I just love a good deal.
We purchased a few things and spent way more than the $5. certificate and was headed out the door to leave. Near the front door was a bushel basket with a sign that said FREE. It was the very last of the fingerling potato sets. I almost walked right past, it was really late in the season to even start potatoes, and these looked terrible. They were shriveled up dregs of real potatoes. I glanced at the sign again and thought what the heck, I had a spot in the garden that needed something planted and just hadn’t gotten around to that space yet.
I planted the spuds as soon as I got home. I didn’t bother cutting them down to ‘eyes’. I didn’t even think they would grow. Boy was I wrong. Not only were they prolific, they were delicious!
I dug potatoes for many, many meals. I begged neighbors to please take a bag full of potatoes, I even delivered a few. Visitors were given potatoes as parting gifts. I took pounds and pounds to the Senior Center in town. It was getting late in the season and I still had hills to dig.
We had a hard freeze set in and the top couple inches of dirt froze solid. I thought for sure that I had killed off the remaining potatoes. Two weeks after the cold, I checked on one of the hills and the topmost potatoes were mush.
I called them squirt potatoes. When I picked them up they would squirt potatoes juice at me. Surprisingly, under the squirt potatoes, I found solid potatoes and continued to harvest well into December.
Consequently, I must have missed some viable potatoes because this spring I kept getting volunteers popping up. They are scattered through the corn patch and around the squash. I just didn’t have the heart to pull them as I did the weeds.
My FREE deal just keeps on giving.


Thanx for the kind words, I'll try not to be a pest!
That is a sweet one. Of the three, the middle one is my favorite.Glad to see custom makers names floating through this post. My knife is the forged knife in the middle. 1084 with black oxide finish with desert ironwood. I built it for an elk hunt. The other two were for customers. Edge geometry and retention are key for your knife performance in the field.
Thank you. All of those knives were forged, the left and right knives were finished out. The middle knife is a brute de forge. Good eye on the grinds. The handle on the middle knife has ironwood sapwood on it. That’s the light color. The left handle material is tan linen micarta. The right handle material is sea cow rib bone. My knife has a 4” cutting edge, OAL is 8.25”. TK is a talented maker and ABS member.That is a sweet one. Of the three, the middle one is my favorite.
I have one that is similar, it was by TK Steingass who is an ABS Master Smith, he called it his "Blue Bayou".
Lately, any A2 knife I acquire, I have etched. I do not mind a patina on carbon steel knives but the etching kinda changes the equation.
BTW, I zoomed the picture and IMHO that is a very unusual piece of desert Ironwood with which you hafted that knife. My experience is limited, but I don't recall seeing another with the light coloration in the wood.
The knife on the left looks to be hafted with "root beer" linen micarta. What is the composition of the scales on the knife on the right.
Also, it seems to me that the left and right knives are stock removal and have a hollow grind. Does the knife in the center have a flat grind?
Luv to hear more details as to dimensions of the knife you forged for yourself, if you have the time and are of the mind!
Esee is what I have as well. Super durable and solid.I love ESEE knives. I will take an ESEE 4 for all my elk hunts and an ESEE 3 for deer and hogs. I will have a Knives of Alaska Hunter in my pocket.
Love that Iron Wood. Saw a fair amount of that on a hunt in S. Africa.Great book! I’m a skinning knife enthusiast myself.
That’s a classic butcher knife profile. I’m sure it’s used a lot in your kitchen. I also make all of the sheaths for my knives as well. I still prefer to do it “old school” and hand stitch all of my sheaths. Here they are for the above mentioned knives.

Lol. JF has said that many times.Very Nice!
What are the dimensions as to OAL, blade length.
BTW, Jerry Fisk always sez' "Keep the pointy end away from you" LOL
But what does he know???
Obviously, he has not seen those!
Looks like you use a variety of blade lengths also.
I'm sure you have heard the expression in regards to being in a bar, "they all get prettier by closing time (AKA Beer Goggles). I confess, I'm a knife slut and have succumbed to desire while wrapped in the arms of Bacchus on more than one occasion.
To boot, I probably ruin the collector value of my knives as I am a user/collector, and over time my interest in blade styles and lengths has expanded.

The Stage at the Fillmore for Father John Misty
“Father John Misty” (Josh Tillman’s stage name), is a square-jawed, blue-eyed, wavy-dark-blond-haired model-handsome man who had everyone in the audience, men and women alike, screaming out how they loved him. Faithful to his irony-filled persona, he tossed out oddly sincere soundbites, such as “Everyone, thank you for all you do that’s good.” The audience, caught up in wanting to capture this sinuous creature singing in a such an enticing manner, held up a Milky Way of smartphones, trying to capture the moment for Instagram or YouTube. He snatched up a pink-cased one and filmed himself performing, to delighted laughter. Despite the sometimes disturbing images of his lyrics, the trippy voyages his songs take, the overall effect is so outsizedly comic that it’s impossible to take too seriously.
I don’t recall exactly where I first heard of Father John Misty. I believe it was in a recommendation from Spotify, or another cloud-based modern music jukebox. It was the songwriting that first drew me in, with lyrics that read like a miniaturized “Day of the Locust” that attracted me. Most of his subjects are religious or scenes of Los Angeles decadence. “I’m Writing A Novel” is a particularly hilarious satire of Hollywood’s abundance of screenwriters, casual relationships and a fast-moving blur of faces going past.
FJM singing at The Fillmore
What kept me coming back is his voice. Very unlike most rock performers, FJM has an excellent and powerful voice with a great emotional range but also technically fine, one that he uses throughout the song to support those witty lyrics. I read of it being compared to Roy Orbison, and while I don’t agree that they sound at all alike, I do think that he’s one of the rare performers whose flexible range is employed well without being showy. It’s often pointed out in biographic clips on Tillman that he was previously the drummer for Seattle indie folk group Fleet Foxes. That’d be where the resemblance ends. His energetic vocals and drum backing do not resemble that group at all.
Misty opened with “Funtimes in Babylon,” a country-toasted wistful ballad that showcased his lovely voice. That characteristic, a pensive and regretful song that combines an inner ache with a surface veneer of cheeriness, makes his songs so listenable over and over.
I would like to abuse my lungs
Smoke everything in sight with every girl I’ve ever loved
Ride around the wreckage on a horse knee-deep in blood
Look out Hollywood, here I come
The final number of his set, “Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings” begins with a hard and sexy drubbing from percussion, joined by a lick from the guitar, rhythmically coursing through images with hints of menace, finishing with the plaintive plea, “Someone’s gotta help me dig…” Well-received set that will help establish a solid fan base for this upcomer. Misty, who recently played a well-received set at Bonnaroo, seems destined to be changing the course of the current sound for a while.

Elizabeth Olsen teases 'playful' final episodes of Sorry For Your Loss
PLUS: Watch an exclusive clip from the season finale
Sorry for Your Loss
Leigh's (Elizabeth Olsen) life may be messier than ever, but in the final episodes of Facebook Watch's Sorry For Your Loss, she'll get some room to breathe.
"Episode 9 is like this lovely short film that exists in a parallel universe, where Leigh gets to step outside of herself for a moment," Olsen teases of the Palm Springs-set penultimate half-hour, which she calls her favorite. "It's just this bottle episode that exists on its own, and it was nice to explore a different aspect of her… There's something freeing, to put all of [her family drama] aside and just be a more playful version of her, a less weighed-down version."
That lightness helped Olsen behind the camera as well. As an executive producer of the drama about a widow dealing with life after death, the Avengers star has learned plenty from her first brush with creating television, including the fact that, despite being in every room — from table read to editing bay — for every episode, she rarely knew the full story. That pressure lasted throughout the series, even when it came to this Tuesday's final installment. "As a performer, trying to create a cohesive through-line without knowing exactly where we were going was a weekly challenge," she says. "To me, it was the most challenging part of the finale."
Speaking of which, EW can share an exclusive clip from the final episode, during which Leigh stops by her old apartment with Matt and hesitantly ventures inside: <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsorryforyourloss%2Fvideos%2F357130318361438%2F&show_text=0&width=560" width="560" height="315" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" class="" resize="0" replace_attributes="1" name=""></iframe>
Sorry For Your Loss, over its past eight episodes, has not only chronicled how Leigh and her family (Janet McTeer plays mom Amy, Kelly Marie Tran plays sister Jules) have cycled through the stages of grief — from its darkest times to surprising moments of levity — but also delved into what may have led to the death of Leigh's husband Matt (Mamoudou Athie). The fifth episode focused entirely on the late character's battle with depression, and Olsen says she wanted to make sure the show portrayed the disorder in an honest way.
"I think people think of depression as this extreme state, when really, it's something you have to every day try and give it a little love and try to figure it out, and watching someone actually do the work is something I feel like we don't see very often," she explains. "Every time I'm dealing with a phase in my life where I'm going, ‘Oh, I'm so down right now,' that's a different experience from being clinically depressed. So, I loved how we told this story of depression, especially in episode 5."
And as far as a second season goes, well, Olsen admits she has "no idea" about the series' future at this stage. After all, she points out, "this is kind of an experiment," with Facebook Watch as a platform for storytelling. "It's just fascinating to be a part of it," she concedes. "Hopefully watching it is a cathartic experience for people, where they can feel like they can relate. I feel like the season finale ends at a place that is honest and real and not a trope of any kind."
EW can also share some exclusive images from the final episode:
The season finale of Sorry For Your Loss premieres Tuesday, Oct. 9, on Facebook Watch.

Falls are not a normal part of aging; instead, they often indicate an underlying issue. Just like how a fever can be a symptom of an underlying illness, falls are symptoms of various factors such as balance problems, lack of strength, medications, or visual impairments. In this blog post, we’ll explore the concept of fall prevention, why it’s crucial, and how you can take control by identifying and addressing the root causes of falls.
- Recognizing Falls as Symptoms: Falls can be likened to symptoms like a cough or headache. They are your body’s way of telling you that something isn’t quite right. The key is to identify the underlying cause behind the fall.
- Identifying Root Causes:
- Balance Issues: If you find that your balance is shaky, it might be a root cause of your falls. Balance training can help improve your stability.
- Lack of Strength: Weak muscles can lead to falls, especially after an injury. Strengthening exercises can make a big difference.
- Medication Side Effects: Certain medicines can affect your balance. If you suspect this, consult your healthcare provider for alternative options.
- Visual Problems: Poor eyesight can contribute to falls. Regular eye check-ups and vision correction can help.
- Seeking Professional Help: Once you’ve pinpointed the root cause of your falls, it’s crucial to discuss it with your healthcare providers. They can help guide you towards the right solution.
- Balance and Strength Training: If your issue is balance or strength, a licensed therapist like a physical therapist can provide preventative care and exercises to improve your condition.
- Medication Management: If medications are contributing to your falls, don’t hesitate to talk to your healthcare provider about potential alternatives or adjustments to your current regimen.
- The Importance of Early Action: Preventing future falls starts with early action. The sooner you address the root cause, the better chance you have of maintaining your safety and independence.
Falls may not be a normal part of aging, but they can be effectively prevented by identifying and addressing their root causes. By recognizing falls as symptoms, seeking professional guidance, and taking early action, you can reduce the risk of future falls and continue to enjoy a safe and independent life. Your safety is worth the effort, and it’s never too late to take control of it.

The feeling of winning the National Award yet to sink in: Sujoy Ghosh

Director Sujoy Ghosh's Kahaani which won national awards in different categories today says, he now feels the responsibility and may make a sequel to the suspense thriller only if there is a good story line.
Sujoy won the award for Best Original Screenplay for Kahaani that was announced today. Best Editing award went to Namrata Rao for the same film, while a special jury award was given to actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
"I am very much happy winning the award. It is a huge honour. I am still trying to absorb that we have won the award.
The feeling is yet to sink in," Sujoy told PTI.
"Now I feel there is more responsibility on me as a director. Somebody is putting trust and responsibility on you and I will continue to give my best and work hard," he said.
Vidya Balan starrer Kahaani has swept several awards earlier across various categories.
"I had not expected that we could get national award for the film. As this time the competition was quite tough...there were lot of other good films made last year. We did not hope to win it," Sujoy said.
In the film, Vidya played the role of a a seven-month pregnant woman who came to Kolkata from London in search of her missing husband. With nothing to rely on except fragments from her memories about him, it is a story of a lone woman's relentless struggle in an unknown city.
Immediately after the resounding success of Kahaani, word spread around that Sujoy was mulling making a sequel to the film.
"Now Kahaani 2 has to be a huge...big film. And I will make it only when we have a really good script in place. Till we are not sure and satisfied about the storyline we will not go ahead," Sujoy said.
