The grand jury has closed the books on the Cobb County, Georgia iBook-purchasing scandal.
For those of you not following along (or living here, like me), the story is that there was a huge outcry when Cobb County, a largely affluent Atlanta suburb, proposed to use over $100 million proceeds from a special one-time-only tax to purchase iBooks for students. Many parents and taxpayers railed against the plan, saying the tax was put before voters as a general-purpose technology upgrade and not as a seemingly risky laptop-per-child program. Other bitter recriminations included charges that the bidding process was unfairly steered in favor of Apple, the winning bidder.
After 17 months, the grand jury has decided not to file criminal charges against anyone in the case. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:
The grand jurors said they did not find enough evidence to believe that anyone received or was offered bribes or kickbacks. They did not find evidence that reached the legal threshold to charge a coordinated conspiracy to restrain competition in favor of winning bidder, Apple Computer, or that anyone one lied or omitted material facts in the bidding process, according to the report.
Nonetheless, the 25 grand jurors were critical of the school district’s procurement procedures.
They cited failures in following district procedures, insufficient checks and balances, ambiguous rules, time pressures and hasty or poor thinking converging “to create an end result that raised questions and controversy.”
OK, cool. No bribery or kickbacks is good. The fiasco did damage some careers, as the superintendent and his top aide resigned. But at least there’s no evidence that Apple or the school district did anything crooked. Case closed.

When the "Lötzener Skivereinigung" was founded in 1930-31, wintersports in the district of Lötzen (pl. Giżycko) in former East Prussia began to flourish. After only a few years the small practising ski hill in the town forest of Lötzen had become to small for local ski jumpers, and a suitable location for new ski jumping hill was found with the step slopes of Lake Niegocin (ger. Löwentinsee). Thus Pruzzenschanze with its wooden inrun tower was constructed at Strzelce forest near Wilkasy (ger. Wilkassen). Its tower was remarkable even from afar. Competitions, such as the East Prussian championships in 1934, were attended by thousands of spectators.

Hello and welcome back to another 'My Thoughts' blog post of which, this is a very positive one from recent posts of late! Alas, it's something I couldn't keep locked in as I listen to the latest singles by Black Foxxes.
In eager anticipation for the album release this Friday (16th March), I wanted to put my thoughts out there as to why Black Foxxes and their new album 'Reidi' will be a revival for rock music. It's about time someone brought something out that, A. got me very excited for their release and B. released some mature rock music that everyone should listen to.
So, yes this is a Black Foxxes appreciation blog post, but if you have a listen to their singles they've released for this new album, I think you'd understand where I am coming from. Firstly, why Black Foxxes and what makes them stand out so much to me as a rock band, there's thousands, why this band?
Since discovering them in February 2017, I've been blown away by their mature rock sound. Their sound is very hard to mimic and being a three piece band also makes it even more impressive. The reason a call it 'mature rock' is because they blend heavy rock with melodic rock and produce this 'Black Foxxes' sound. Currently there aren't many bands within this heavy rock realm, it's mostly punk and pop-punk, but then to add the element of melodic shouting too just completes it!
Now when I say melodic shouting from Mr Mark Holley, people would instantly turn off. Think of someone singing but belting their notes out with so much passion it develops these notes into an additional rasp in the voice. It's also refreshing to hear a vocalist put everything from their vocals into the music too. Pushing it's boundaries, a song like "River" is a perfect example. The melodic shouting compliments the heavy vibes of this song. Mark knows when to belt those notes out and when to control and sing for those quieter sections.
Music has been influenced over the last few years by electronic sounds. There's needs and wants for this sound and you have to experiment a lot with your traditional sound to get it right. Sadly, this is not the case for most bands. I respect Black Foxxes for keeping their traditional rock sound, keep it up lads.
"River" was the turning point for me to realise that this band was something special. Do go listen to it and then come back for the second half of this post about their new album. I forgot to mention that 'River' is from their DEBUT album...their debut and they're pushing music like this out!? You can find 'River' here and enjoy!
Right, now your mind has been blown, let's get onto some of the music from 'Reidi' that's to be released on the 16th March 2018. What the band have done on this record is kept their ethos of a big sound for a three piece band, but added subtle elements to make it sound even bigger. Heavier guitar riffs and trumpet sections in songs like 'JOY', catchier guitar hooks in 'Saela' and the the big one...
'Breathe' is the new records 'River'. The huge sound on the song along with a string section at the end just shows the enormous capabilities of this band. Listening to this song you get the feeling big things are happening for the lads and rightly so. Anyone who listens to 'Breathe' will think "okay these boys mean business". I haven't even heard the whole record yet, but they've released 5 singles and it's already going to be hard to knock off the top spot of The Music Scout Album Of The Year 2018. Even with some of my favourite artists releasing music this year like Frank Turner, it'll be difficult to knock it off it's perch.
Bring on 16th March and the revival of rock.

The Sardinian local government declared a state of emergency on Sunday for calling it a “disaster with no precedent”.
“It is still not possible to estimate the damage caused by the ongoing fires in the Oristano region,” said the president of the Sardinia region, Christian Solinas, in a statement on Monday. “Vegetation destroyed, shops and houses burned, and animals killed,” he added.
In an update Tuesday, regional spokesman Ignazio Artissu told CNN that the current estimate of the area burned is about 20,000 hectares, but officials are still estimating the damage. Artissu said that most of the fires have been put out and they are now focused on taking the necessary steps so they don’t start again.
In the past few days, the region has deployed 7,500 people and over 20 aircraft to fight fires. Italy has also received support from neighboring countries, with France and Greece using four planes to help extinguish the flames.
Solinas called on the Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi to send economic aid to the affected areas. Draghi said his government is closely monitoring the situation and has expressed “full solidarity with the people who are continuously working on the rescue operations”.
Greece and Spain are also battling forest fires due to an ongoing heat wave.
Numerous forest fires broke out in Greece between Sunday and Monday, and more than 700 firefighters were on duty to bring the situation under control.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said at a cabinet meeting Monday that firefighters had fought around 50 fires across the country in the past 24 hours, while stressing that more could follow after meteorologists warned the heatwave was likely to continue.
“I would like to emphasize that August remains a difficult month. Meteorologists are already warning us that we could face another major sustained heat wave by the end of next week. It is therefore important that all of us, all government services, are on absolute alert until the fire-fighting time is officially over, “concluded Mitsotakis.
Last week, Frans Timmermans, Vice President of the European Commission, Becky Anderson of CNN, said that “irregular weather patterns will be the new normal”. “If we don’t do something urgently – and urgently, I mean now – then the climate crisis will get completely out of control and our citizens will understand that we have to act now,” he said.
Flames under control in Spain
The Iberian Peninsula was not spared from the fires either, because the flames are raging in Catalonia in northeastern Spain. More than 1,700 hectares were burned in the Conca de Barberà and Anoia regions, but the fires were 90% stabilized on Monday after local troops – consisting of 95 crews with 280 soldiers and six aircraft – took control of the situation.
On Tuesday, Catalan firefighters released an update saying they had continued working overnight to put out the fires and check the perimeter.
In Lietor, in the central-eastern region of Castile-La Mancha, more than 2,500 hectares burned over the weekend before they were brought under control by a crew of more than 500 men on Monday, the local authorities said.
Spain’s neighbor Portugal was not affected by the recent fires, but a report earlier this month said it was the country most affected by forest fires in Europe.
The environmental organization Associação Natureza Portugal (ANP), which acts as the national representative of the international World Fund for Nature (WWF), claims that more than 18,000 fires have occurred annually in Portugal since 2010, according to an ANP statement.
“Portugal is clearly the European country most affected by forest fires. On average, 136,000 hectares are burned each year, 31% more than in Spain, although it has 80% less forest area. This means that Portugal burns more than 3% of its forest area every year, “the statement said.
According to the European Environment Agency (EEA), “in most regions of Europe, especially for scenarios with high emissions, more severe fire weather and, as a result, a considerable expansion of the fire-endangered area and longer fire times are forecast”.
“The increase in the risk of fire is expected to be particularly large in western central Europe, but the absolute risk of fire remains highest in southern Europe,” said the EEA in its forest fire assessment.

A few weeks ago, we highlighted a blog post by Elon Musk of Tesla Motors calling out New Jersey for having "ended your right to purchase vehicles at a manufacturer store within the state." In Musk's open letter, he said that if you believe the auto dealer lobby's rationale that this is about "consumer protection," then "Gov. Christie has a bridge closure he wants to sell you!" Musk also said that "Tesla is 'evaluating judicial remedies to correct the situation.'" Now Tesla has moved ahead on that front.
In a statement accompanying the Superior Court filing, Tesla said today the commission had bowed to intense pressure from the state’s franchise auto dealers association, the New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers.
“Franchise dealers have an inherent conflict of interest in selling electric vehicles,” Tesla said in the filing. “In order to do so effectively, they would need to enthusiastically tout the reasons why electric vehicles are superior to gasoline vehicles. This is not something that they are going to do since gasoline vehicles represent virtually all of their revenue.”
Tesla's right, and we certainly hope they prevail in court.

Pro football: A look at major NFL arrests
New England tight end Aaron Hernandez was charged with murder and weapons counts Wednesday in the slaying of a Massachusetts man.
Soon after he was arrested, Hernandez was cut by the team. The NFL put out a statement after the Patriots released Hernandez but took no action.
This is a look at some other notable criminal cases involving NFL or former NFL players, along with the league's actions if they were active.
Suspended indefinitely without pay by commissioner Roger Goodell in 2007 when Vick pleaded guilty to dogfighting conspiracy. The Atlanta Falcons quarterback was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison. A week after being released from federal custody on July 20, 2009, and having been released by the Falcons, he was conditionally reinstated by Goodell. Less than three weeks later, he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, and played his first regular-season game in nearly three years on Sept. 27 of that year.
Adam 'Pacman' Jones
The cornerback was suspended by Goodell for the 2007 season under the league's personal conduct policy after multiple arrests while playing for the Tennessee Titans. Now with the Cincinnati Bengals, he has been in and out of legal trouble, with at least seven arrests over the years and involvement in about a dozen incidents that included police intervention. He recently pleaded not guilty to an assault charge after police say he hit a woman at a nightclub. If he is found guilty or accepts a plea bargain, he would be subject to another NFL suspension.
After four unproductive and injury-plagued seasons in the NFL from 1998-2001, the quarterback was out of the league and ran into legal problems involving drugs. Last year, he pleaded guilty to burglary and drug possession and given a five-year jail term. In January, he was moved from a drug treatment center to state prison in Montana for threatening a staff member and violating his treatment plan.

Competing ME hospital merger plan seeks to avoid 'medical arms race'
Mid Coast Hospital filed an application with the state Wednesday to take over Parkview Adventist Medical Center in Brunswick. Mid Coast's application rebuts a filing last month by Central Maine Healthcare of Lewiston, which also seeks to take control of Parkview, and would avoid what Mid Coast said would be a "medical arms race" in the Brunswick region. Mid Coast argues that decisions about healthcare in the Brunswick area should remain in the Brunswick area. Central Maine Healthcare officials have said their proposal is consistent with what has already happened numerous times in Maine and beyond—namely large hospitals taking over smaller ones while allowing them to remain in existence.

Spain, like many countries in Europe, is currently working to revamp its gambling industry. Not long ago, lawmakers here began looking at laws toward gambling advertisements. Now, officials have announced that Spain’s sports gambling laws are changing.
Today, we’re going to look at what changes are coming here. We’ll also talk about why the government is implementing a new set of laws towards the sports gambling industry. There are a lot of changes coming. Let’s get into it!
Spain Working on New Regulations Toward Gambling Industry
Lawmakers in Spain began regulating the online gambling industry in 2011. Prior to this, the government had no legal way to license and tax foreign gambling websites. Since 2011, this country’s online gambling market has exploded with popularity.
Things began to slow down in the fourth quarter of 2018. During this time, gambling revenue dropped by 10.7%. It was unusual, as the government hadn’t implemented any major restrictions on the industry.
Gambling revenue is fluctuating in 2019. Government officials are now beginning the process of increasing internet gambling regulations. The country’s Gaming Commission (the DGOJ) announced in May that a blanket ban on all gambling advertisements was being considered.
Online and land-based gambling operators here immediately began pushing against these new regulations. This week, the DGOJ stated that Spain’s sports betting laws were changing as well. Fortunately, this industry is remaining legal.
DGOJ Announces Spain’s Sports Betting Laws Are Changing
In June, Spain’s gambling regulator revealed a three-year plan to better oversee the gambling industry. This government body wants to ensure that gambling companies are committed to social responsibility.
The gambling regulator in Spain is now banning companies from accepting wagers on matches involving underage athletes. It makes sense, as these sporting events are not regulated the same way as professional sports. There’s a concern that gambling on these matches could result in game-fixing.
The DGOJ also claims that these new laws are made to protect minors. Officials in the Gambling Commission state they want to create a clear separation between kids and the gambling industry.
Spain’s sports betting laws aren’t entirely unique. Not long ago, Sweden fined several companies for offering sports odds on games featuring minors. We’ll need to wait and see how gambling companies here respond to these new regulations.
Gambling Revenue in Spain Continues to Fluctuate
For the first four months of 2019, Spain’s gambling revenue increased. Things may not seem exactly as they appear, though.
Revenue has been increasing, yet the first quarter of 2019 is up just 2.14% from the final quarter of 2018. This represents the lowest revenue increase in years. Certain forms of gambling are generating more revenue than others.
Online slot gambling revenue has increased by 29.2% over the first four months of this year. Interestingly, online poker revenue has dropped. This form of gambling decreased by 1.4% year-on-year.
Gambling operators here are spending more on marketing than ever before. This may be in response to the government’s call for a ban on gambling advertisements. Spain’s sports betting laws are changing and we’ll need to wait to see how, if at all, this affects sports gambling revenue.
Do you think these new laws will affect the gambling industry in Spain? Will revenue increase in 2019’s second quarter? Let us know in the comment section below!

Salim Mirza, played brilliantly by Balraj Sahney, is one such Muslim who stays back in India. He with his family has to fight to find their identity and respect in this new country with changed realities. He can only watch as his world is slowly ripped by tragic aftermath of partition. Sikandar, played by Farooq Shaikh, is Salim Mirza's unemployed son who is often on his face told that he might have a better chance in Pakistan. The fabulous story, great performances (especially of Balraj Sahani) and the sensitivity of the content makes it a must watch. Garam Hawa was initially banned but eventually it won a national award for national integration and was even screened in Pakistan.

Black Diamond: Marolt worth the moneyTweet
One might think after USSA’s best winter games in its history and another globe gathering alpine season, the organization and its CEO, Bill Marolt, might be in line for a few “Atta Boys,” but two months after the season’s conclusion, nothing could be further from the truth. Instead of getting pats on the back, Marolt has been the subject of criticism because of his level of compensation. It seems The New York Times and others think his salary is too much. Not so!
The Times took Marolt‘s compensation to task in an opinionated piece that selectively omitted circumstances, and failed to support the story’s bias. Many recognize journalism with integrity is a thing of the past on West 43rd Street. So be-it. Unfortunately, too many others take the Times’ reporting as gospel and used the story as a basis to air personal gripes. They too do so without bothering to check facts or make any inquiries as to the validity of the Times’ findings. It is a shame.
Marolt, like every successful executive, has his share of warts but compensation is not one of them. His recent episode with the Park City sheriff brought his critics out in force. Since his case is pending, it will not be addressed as part of this piece. We will leave that to others to satisfy their shortcomings by railing about others’. Still, it is disturbing when papers, especially those who cover the sport like the Stowe Reporter, opine without having done any homework or fact checking, simply regurgitating negativism.
Criticism coming from athletes is another story. Because of their age, today’s athletes are less aware and have not experienced the travesty which was the USSA/Ski team program prior to Marolt, thank goodness. Athletes have a reason and right to question the current program, its funding and direction. Fair enough. USSA athletic programs should be explained in detail. To great extent, detailed explanations have not been forthcoming. USSA and Marolt need to improve their communication with athletes, explaining why USSA does what it does. USSA too often takes on the air of the National Security Agency failing to offer a transparent explanation to its athletes. The association needs be more forth coming. Fortunately, the recently completed strategic plan with its goals and direction offers a true basis for how USSA arrived at its conclusions and what will dictate resource allocation going forward. An explanation of the plan is available at www.skiracing.com/?q=node/1547. Further details are found on the USSA web site.
As a point of reference, alpine athletes, their parents, and young coaches should be made aware of what occurred in the early 90s. Then, the ski team was an organization which sent unprepared athletes to compete, in many ways crushing them both physically and mentally. Today’s athletes don’t know that Tamara McKinney had 17 different coaches in her eight-year career nor the fact that the best the U.S. alpine team could do in the 1988 winter games was one ninth-place finish…ninth! There was no sport science program, little to no off hill support, and zero consistency of coaching or coaching philosophy. If an athlete succeeded, for all intents and purposes it was in spite of the U.S. Ski Team. USSA and the ski team was a bankrupt entity. The only outcome of those years was a bitter group of athletes who correctly felt they had not been part of a program that allowed them to be competitive, let alone succeed.
Look at the difference today. Just walk into the Center of Excellence and chat with Lindsey Vonn about what support she finds there. Or talk to Speedy Peterson, Bill Demong or Ted Ligety, whose latest GS globe was made possible in large part by an extraordinary rehab program put together by Troy Flannigan’s sports science group. Take a hard look at where the athletes train and who their coaches are and the consistency of the programs. Small wonder Scott Blackmun, U. S. Olympic committee president, touts USSA as the top sports governing body in the nation’s Olympic movement.
Everyone has a right to complain. However, it is reasonable to ask that complaints be based on fact and be accompanied by proactive and positive suggestions. As to Marolt’s compensation, it is a small price to pay for taking an organization from being insolvent to being among the best, if not the premier, NGB in the nation. G.B. Jr.

These viral images show Magnus the therapy dog sleeping on the sofa in his pyjamas with one of his teenage girl owners as he takes some much needed time off from visiting critically-ill children and ICU patients.
Brian Benson, a visual effects supervisor for TV and film who lives in Pound Ridge in the US state of New York, shared the images on the Instagram page ‘Magnus the Therapy Dog’, which boasts nearly 400,000 followers and numerous viral clips.
One video of Magnus sleeping on the sofa with Brian’s daughter has been viewed nearly six million times and numerous other videos on the account have also been widely watched.
Brian, who lives with his wife and two daughters, said he adopted Magnus, a Labrador retriever, when he was 18 months old, adding that the pooch will turn six years old in April.
Brian told Newsflash: “Magnus and I have been a pet therapy team since 2018. We visit terminally- and critically-ill children and adults in hospitals. We also visit the patients in the trauma ICU, all of their grieving family and friends, plus the overworked hospital staff.
“We also go on visits to schools for children with emotional issues and learning disabilities. As a therapy team, we advance the physical, emotional, and social well-being of others through the use of animal-assisted interactions.
“The impact is difficult to quantify, but incredibly rewarding. Regardless of the situation, Magnus always seem to know how to bring a smile to your face and put your mind at ease. It is obvious that Magnus enjoys working as a therapy dog just by seeing how excited he is to interact with anyone he meets.”
Brian said: “I have two daughters, Riley, 15, and Skyler, 13. Skyler is in the video where she is napping with him. One of Magnus’ favourite things to do is to get super cosy and cuddle with his family. The best part is that as soon as he curls up next to you, it’s insanely easy to rub Magnus to sleep, with his eyes glued shut, just snoring away.
“Everyone in my family loves to nap with Magnus whenever possible and I have caught all of them at various times passed out with him. Resting with Magnus is the most relaxing thing ever!”
He added: “In my latest video Skyler and Magnus were passed out on the couch in our den. However, Magnus has been spotted sleeping with all of us at various times since we have had him.
“Magnus loves to dress up, it has become so common that as soon as I take out his outfits, he comes running over to get dressed.”
Brian told Newsflash: “Magnus really has the best temperament. He has a natural empathy that can’t be taught. You can teach a dog to sit, stay, shake hands etc., but you can’t teach a dog to read people’s emotions, sense their pain, and understand how to comfort them.
“This is the part of Magnus that is just hardwired into his DNA – the ability and need to make people feel at ease and happy. When we originally adopted Magnus, the goal was for him to simply be our family pet. However, Magnus had other plans.
“Unfortunately, my oldest daughter Riley has severe juvenile arthritis that started when she was eight years old. As part of her medical regimen, I would have to give her weekly or sometimes daily injections. This was extremely stressful for my daughter and the injections would make her very agitated and anxious.
“On one of the first days that we had Magnus, when I had to give Riley her shot, Magnus intuitively knew to come lay by her side, rest his head on her lap and comfort her. No one told him to do this. He just read the room, saw a person who needed his help and he provided it, without hesitation.
“Even though there was no bond yet between him and us, as we had literally just adopted him, he was just being, well, him, nurturing, comforting and compassionate.
“This was when I realised Magnus was meant for something more and that he was too special to keep to ourselves. I immediately researched therapy dog work and enrolled us in a certification course.”
Brian said: “We never imagined Magnus would turn into an online star at all, especially as we originally never had any plans to have him appear online.
“Before Covid, Magnus and I would work as a pet therapy and go on in-person visits to hospitals and schools. Once COVID hit, all therapy visits were put on permanent hold, so we needed to find a way to continue to help people.
“We decided to start accounts online in order to do what we call ‘virtual therapy’. Through funny, feel-good content, our goal was to make people smile, brighten their day and give them a distraction from all of the struggles that are going on in their world.
“We have received messages from people all over the world that our content has helped with their depression, got them through the pain of losing a loved one, helped them cope with being out of work, etc.”


As a graduating senior, and the founder of Colgate Women in Business, I was absolutely floored to hear that Sheryl Sandberg would be coming to speak at Colgate. To be lucky enough to hear her speak, both to a small private audience and again in addressing 5,000 parents, professors, alumni, and students, was a dream come true. I'd preface this to say that I was a pretty big fan of Sheryl Sandberg even before the rumor mill churned about her writing a book. Setting aside my fandom, I have found Sandberg's message empowering, particularly as a 21-year-old woman about to graduate from college.
When Sandberg spoke at a small reception preceding her keynote address, it was to a room of mostly college women, my fellow members of Colgate Women in Business. And to that end, she said to us, "This book is for you, it is for college women, for women starting out in the workplace." These words reflected many of Sandberg's efforts outside of her role at Facebook: she is a supporter of the women's network, Levo League, and an advocate for women's rights with several philanthropies, among other movements. Sandberg made it clear that we, as college women, have the most to gain from her message. Yes, a stay-at-home mom or a 30-year-old bachelor can internalize the tenets of Lean In, but for most of the college audience we still have the rest of our careers to apply these tenets. And Sandberg expects us to apply them every step of the way.
One of the main critiques I have heard from the students around me is "She's not speaking to everyone." Well whether or not you feel that way, I think what is most important but also incredible about her message, is that it has sparked an ongoing conversation about gender equality, ambition, and not being afraid to face your fears. Sandberg's message has provided a forum for anyone of any age to talk about these issues. Her message is a platform for discussion, a discussion that many college students are afraid to have. Yes, in many college classrooms -- mostly in gender or women's studies courses -- these topics have been discussed at length, but it was never the norm to talk about our future ambitions, our opinions on gender equality and the like. In the weeks following Sandberg's visit to campus, more and more I have heard students talking about Lean In and their opinion. And these opinions enable each student to think about their own future in a meaningful and powerful way.
To my classmates who continue to make jokes about doing laundry or leaning in, please keep joking! I mean this quite seriously; it is crucial that we keep the conversation going, especially as we throw off our caps in a few short weeks and dive headfirst into the all-too-real 'real world.'

I’m a straight-forward kind of girl. If you ask me what I’m thinking, I’ll tell you, no sugar-coating cause that’s not what life’s about. It’s about dealing with the pain that comes along, so if you are going to tell me how you feel, don’t lie. If I ask something, I want to know the truth, not the lie.
You can’t make any one person your world. The trick is to take what each can give you and build a world from it.
Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setback and griefs which we endure help us in our marching onward.
Stop and appreciate what you have today. Look at what you have with wider eyes, maybe with more compassion and more gratitude for the things that you do have and not the things you don’t have.
Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.


The Chicago Blackhawks announced today that they have agreed to terms with forward Ben Smith and goaltender Antti Raanta on two-year contract extensions, which run through the end of the 2015-16 National Hockey League season.
Smith, 25, recorded career highs in nearly every statistical category this past season, posting 26 points (14G, 12A) in 75 regular-season games with the Blackhawks. The Avon, Conn., native won 50.8 percent (200 of 394) of his faceoffs and ranked second among team forwards with 58 blocked shots. Smith notched a career-best two points (1G, 1A) on March 16 vs. Detroit, including his first career game-winner. He registered a career-long three-game goal streak (3G) from April 3-6.
Chicago’s 2008 sixth-round draft pick (169th overall), Smith added four goals and two helpers in 19 2014 Stanley Cup playoff games; he shared third on the team with a +5 plus/minus rating and 28 blocked shots during the postseason.

The Debate Over Wireless LAN
Optionally, you can purchase a wireless antenna. Built-in antennas offer omnidirectional coverage made specifically for today’s open workspaces. Because an extremely strong transmitter at a comparatively close range has to be utilized to execute this kind of attack, the proprietors of the WLAN can discover the hacker through using homing tools. It’s utilized to set the frequency of ICMP packets.
The router is configured when it’s initially set up on the network. These wireless routers have been put to use by a lot of my pals and colleagues and they’ve been very content with it. Top quality dual WAN routers have a range of attractive capabilities. The Next most frequent reason behind losing internet aside from the modem and a line issue is the telephone jack itself. Then you will have to configure your Wi-Fi router according to your requirements utilizing a given installation guide. To begin Wi-Fi hotspot service and earn money, you will require a comapatible Wi-Fi router the exact first thing.
There are numerous kinds of wireless network adapters and they’re divided in line with the different ports in which they’re used. Last, physical controllers provide the most control over one’s wireless network, and give the broadest selection of functionality. There is absolutely no central device. All wireless devices employing the K-State WLAN has to be registered with CTS. At the current time laptop computers are the principal users of WLANs.
A superb antivirus application with current virus definitions will work. The program is already installed. Each computer functions as both a customer and a server, and there’s no administrator accountable for the whole network. It is extremely easy, and it can be set up on your computer anytime. You don’t need to change out your hardware to acquire the update, you simply ought to update the driver.
The Wireless LAN Cover Up
In case you want to go wi-fi you also must take into consideration wi-fi encryption. Wi-Fi Hotspot is quite easy to install and it includes an inclusive installation guide for most Wi-Fi routers that one may utilize. By and big, wireless network reception can be found in each of the university buildings and some outdoor areas also. Locating the ideal WiFi APs has turned into the most critical facet of the wireless deployment. 802.11h employs DFS and TPC. It is also going to help you stay away from pitfalls along the ways because it will consider different systems and applications which are impacted by making your wireless network.
Getting the correct monitor will offer comfort and convenience. The simplest way to begin updating these drivers is to see the site of the wireless adapter manufacturer. Normally, drivers which are associated with audio hardware are known as audio drivers. In case you are searching for more drivers then search this site for more details. If you’re likely to manually locate the drivers for your particular system, make sure to take the appropriate things to do to identify the right audio hardware on your Windows PC.
Different kinds of networks give unique services, and require various things to work properly. The network might be a neighborhood area network (LAN), limited to an individual division or little group in one geographical place, or a vast area network (WAN) brings a bigger geographical area into an individual network. Wireless networks offer you fantastic value for money. There’s additionally a second sort of wireless network that can be used, which is known as a mesh or peer-to-peer network.
In addition, there are other forms of network you may encounter. The network needs to be able to grow, that’s the initial design should grow with no big changes to the total design. A peer-to-peer network is utilized in more isolated instances, like when two users wish to link privately or there isn’t any network access point. Unique networks are appropriate for distinct demands, and therefore, make sure that you know your way around the types which you are most likely to use.
Go for simple and you may extend the scope of your network. You’ve also completely installed the crucial security features, you might now design and put in your password or other settings that you’re prompted to make. The biggest and most well-known instance of a WAN is the web. All wireless access points have to be secured employing a strong password. If you find a 0.0.0.0 then there’s a problem. Apart from this one incident, it was problem free the remainder of the moment; point. There are lots of factors involved with designing a dependable, secure, and available wireless network.

Celeste Miller’s Once Upon a Time Wolf is a poetic meditation on fairy tales, an exploration of the stories we tell and why we tell them. With a hypnotic musical accompaniment by Chip Epsten, Miller shifts between dance and spoken word, between embodying the characters from Little Red Riding Hood and narrating her fractured retelling of the tale. There is something enchanting about Miller’s enactment of the story. She is not concerned with mimetic representation or “acting” in a traditional sense; instead, she is engaged in the magical process of bringing the words to life, of words made flesh. A performative shape-shifter, Miller seamlessly transitions between a chain-smoking grandmother to Riding Hood fleeing through the forest to the narrator peering down on the scene with a bird’s eye view. These kaleidoscopic shifts challenge stasis and invite the audience to question and re-question their gendered assumptions about the Wolf and the manner in which women are traditionally cast as victims. As with all good fairy tales, Miller’s performance is a work about transformation, about reimagining both the past and the future.
- Craig Quintero, Artistic Director, Riverbend Theatre, Taiwan; Associate Professor Department of Theatre and Dance, Grinnell College.
Once Upon a Time Wolf begins by declaring the hackneyed opener “once upon a time”, shattered. And proceeds to announce that this story will only be told through its shards, “sharp enough to draw blood.”
Once Upon a Time Wolf is designed for small, intimate venues including domestic spaces. The audience may be seated at long tables covered in butcher paper with colored pens. They are invited to “doodle, take notes, or draw” as they watch the piece. After the twelve minutes of performance, audience may voluntarily share something from their writing/ drawing. And then we enter conversation. Like a book club...
Past discussions have covered topics such as “bordering off our wildness” to “what it means to revise, revision, resist or rewrite the stories that seem to hold on over time” to “the multiple ways in which “time” is constructed and deconstructed through the imagery”. And the ever popular prompt, “What is the wolf at your door?”
“Wolf” began its creative process in 2014, premiering at the Alternate ROOTS Annual Gathering. Since then “Wolf” has been performed at Skwirlhaus in Atlanta, Catapult in New Orleans, Home for Wayward Girls and Their Dogs in Sautee-Nacoochee, GA and a tour to domestic spaces produced by KD productions in San Francisco, Berkley, and San Diego. Wolf was also performed at the Faulconer Gallery at Grinnell College as part of the exhibit: “Dread & Delight”.
Below: Audience drawings gathered at the Catapult performance in New Orleans
Written, choreographed and performed by Celeste Miller, it is performed in an Act 1, Act 2 format. The first act is the performance. The second act is an audience conversation. The whole event lasts around 60 minutes.

The hallmark of a ketogenic diet is being in ketosis for extended periods of time, and is achieved by carbohydrate restriction. While there isn't a strict prohibition of artificial sweeteners, grains, and manufactured foods, there is a strong preference in the community to lean towards natural, whole foods. Keto is for overall health, and weight loss is a welcome side effect for many people.
We add collagen peptides to our coffee every morning because it's beneficial for healthy joints, skin, hair, etc. If you use collagen peptides or want to add it to your diet after talking with your health care professional, we recommend Naked Nutrition Collagen Peptides Protein Powder. This product is grass-fed and pasture-raised, and is GMO free, dairy free, soy free, gluten free, and free of growth hormones.
Probably, and there are a few reasons why, Keatley says. For starters, people usually reduce their daily caloric intake to about 1,500 calories a day because healthy fats and lean proteins make you feel fuller sooner”and for a longer period of time. And then there's the fact that it takes more energy to process and burn fat and protein than carbs, so you're burning slightly more calories than you did before. Over time, this can lead to weight loss.
When you're first getting started, it can be helpful to use a blood or breath ketone meter. What these meters do is measure the amount of ketones (the energy source your body is switching to) in your blood or your breath. Knowing those amounts and seeing how they increase or decrease depending on what you're eating daily can often be a motivating and helpful indicator of the transition occurring in your body.
But generally speaking, if you plan to follow a ketogenic diet, you should aim to consume less than 10 percent of your total calories from carbohydrates per day. The remaining calories should come from 20 to 30 percent protein and 60 to 80 percent fat. That means if you follow a daily 2,000-calorie diet, no more than 200 of your calories (or 50 grams) should come from carbs, while 400 to 600 calories should come from protein and 1,200 to 1,600 should come from fat. (There's a reason this plan is also called a high-fat, low-carb diet!)
The ketogenic diet for weight loss is based on the idea that driving the body into ketosis will maximize fat loss. Ketosis is a normal metabolic process that occurs when the body does not have enough glucose stores for energy. When these stores are depleted, the body resorts to burning stored fat for energy instead of carbs. This process produces acids called ketones, which build up in the body and can be used for energy. (2)
Oh man, this is a great read. Entertaining and full or resources and digestible content even though it is a long article. But I appreciate the research you went through it. I remember 5 years ago researching about Keto diet took forever because of how spread out the sources were. This is great work as a guide. Thanks for the article. Before reading this article I thought the requirements were too strict, but now that I read it, I am already doing a third of that list. I am trying IF right now, but I think this will help me with my satiety problem with meals, plus help me with weight loss. Thanks for the motivation and information Steve. I am starting my plan of attack and try a Keto diet.
Protein: Keep in mind that keto is high-fat, and not high-protein, so you don't need to eat very much meat. Too much protein turns into glucose in the body, making it harder to stay in ketosis. Stick to fatty cuts of grass-fed, pasture-raised, or wild meat, and wild-caught fish. Red meats, offal/organ meats, pork, eggs (preferably pastured), fish, shellfish, and whey protein concentrate.
Also make sure that you know what foods have mostly carbs, fat, and protein, so you can make the right choices. For instance, it's not just bread, pasta, chips, cookies, candy, and ice cream that contain carbs. Beans may contain protein, but they're also very high in carbohydrates. Fruit and veggies also mostly contain carbs. The only foods that don't contain carbs are meat (protein) and pure fats, like butter and oils (including olive oil and coconut oil).

Painting from the tomb chapel of Nebamen: fragment of polychrome tomb-painting divided into two registers. In the upper register a herd of cattle is brought to Nebamen; in front of the cattle the herdsmen bow down to a standing scribe who records the produce. The vertical hieroglyphic caption is damaged, and only a few-phrases can be read. In the lower register a man drives cattle towards some seated scribes. Two horizontal registers of hieroglyphs survive above.

- Curator's comments
- It probably occupied the lower half of the same wall as the goose count (.37978), although the hieroglyphs in the two fragments are painted in different colours (black and blue). The texts are not quite written in classical Middle Egyptian like the formal texts in the tomb chapel, but they are still very remote from what such workers would actually have spoken.
In the lower register inscription, the name of the god Amun/Amen has been removed, presumably as part of Akhenaten's reforms when monuments had the divine names of the old regime erased.The tomb chapel must thus have been accessible during his reign.

Modern History of Tennessee
From 1776 until the mid-nineties of the 18th century in Tennessee (as well as in neighboring Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia), clashes and conflicts between European settlers and Indians (mainly the Cherokee people), known as the “Chickamoga Wars”, continued. Despite numerous treaties that left the Native Americans the right to live on their lands, the colonists constantly expanded the boundaries of the settled territories, gradually pushing the Indians further and further west. Only in 1794 did the Cherokee, recognizing the military superiority of the American army, cease resistance.
The Cherokee, Muscogee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw who lived in Tennessee were among the Five Civilized Tribes. They adopted Christianity, adopted many of the customs of their “pale-faced” neighbors, and created schools for their children. The Cherokee even had their own alphabet and published a newspaper. However, the desire to seize new territories from the residents of the states of the US South led to the adoption by the US Congress in 1830 of the “Indian Removal Act”. At the end of the thirties of the XIX century, the Indians were forcibly relocated to reservations in the territory of the modern state of Oklahoma. Thousands of them died on the long road west through Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas, called the “Road of Tears” by the Indians.
In the early decades of Tennessee settlement, there were relatively few slaves in the state (about four thousand at the beginning of the 19th century), most of them worked on cattle farms in Central Tennessee, where natural conditions (very similar to the Bluegrass region in neighboring Kentucky) were perfect for raising large cattle and horses. With the development of West Tennessee, especially the fertile lands of the Mississippi Valley , excellent for growing cotton, the number of disenfranchised black workers also increased dramatically. Already in 1830, there were almost one hundred and fifty thousand slaves in the state, and by the beginning of the American Civil War, they made up a quarter of the population of Tennessee (more than 280,000 people).

The present study compared fecal culture, ELISA and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for the diagnosis of MAP in dairy cattle. A total of 225 serum and fecal samples were collected from 14 dairy cattle farms in Tehran, Iran. The fecal samples were cultured in Harrold’s egg yolk agar with and without mycobactin j. DNA was extracted directly from fecal samples, too. Serum ELISA and LAMP were compared with fecal culture in terms of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, likelihood ratio of a positive test result, and likelihood ratio of a negative test result. The sensitivity of LAMP and ELISA was 100%and 79%, respectively. Their specificity was 83.33% and 93%, respectively. Both LAMP (P < 0.001; k = 0.167) and ELISA (P < 0.001; k = 0.374) were in agreement with fecal culture as the gold standard. Moreover, LAMP and ELISA had 80% agreement with each other. This study suggests LAMP as a valuable and cost-effective tool for the early diagnosis of JD caused by MAP. Furthermore, due to inability of ELISA in detecting early stages of the disease and long and expensive method of culture, LAMP could be used alongside ELISA in cattle-wide screening for disease.


text: Training that improves the cardiorespiratory system and the efficiency of aerobic metabolism. Aerobic training can be divided into three overlapping types: aerobic low intensity training, aerobic high intensity training, and recovery training. The minimum training intensity that will usually result in significant improvements require an oxygen uptake of at least 50–55% maximal oxygen uptake. This corresponds to approximately 70% maximum heart rate. The most effective training intensities are usually between 90 and 100% maximal oxygen uptake, but sessions of long duration and low intensity can be as effective as those of shorter duration and high intensity.

It’s an amplification of harmonious flavours put together in a way as to extract the maximum potency of their parent ingredients is what chutney I believe is and this recipe extracts, exaggerates and emboldens every flavour that found itself in the making of this luridly green almost viciously spicy and flavour festooned green chutney.
Chutneys are of course not meant as a solitary treat because of their main purpose in life as an enhancer, that is they upgrade any dish from their current pedestal and double as dips, dressings even spread and this particular coriander chutney especially works hard to earn its keep not least because it’s an old recipe using few readily available in season ingredients.
The spice levels on this depend on the creator but it’s good to have it on the not so mild side of the spectrum and keep them a bit on the more tear-jerking levels, not to be vulgar or anything but because that’s really how this stuff works and it’s meant to. Ingredients are few and simple. Coriander, green chillies, garlic, dried red chillies, salt, cumin seeds and dried mango powder.
It’s just a question of blending everything together. So along with the coriander leaves and the stalks which contain most of the flavour
add the garlic and chillies, halved or chopped to convenience
the dried red chillies
and the spices that are cumin, dried mango powder and salt and blend
until you have a somewhat smooth paste. Make sure that all the ingredients have been incorporated and that there aren’t any large chunks left. Add a little water but not too much and use a spoon to clamp down the leaves and chillies to avoid too many air pockets.
And that’s it. Your green coriander chutney is ready.
I especially love it sandwiched between two slices of bread with lashings of butter and a dollop of this chutney. But really, over rice, in salads, as a dip for anything fried, this chutney is where it’s at!
Chillies: 3-4 (use fewer for a milder taste)
Garlic cloves: 2-3
Cumin seeds: 1 heaped tsp
Salt: 1.5tsp (or to taste)
Dried red chillies: 2-3
Dried mango powder: 1tsp heaped
Wash the coriander well and rinse under running water until no grit or dirt remains and add to a blender with green chillies, garlic cloves, salt, cumin powder, dried red chillies and dried mango powder.
Blend to form a smooth paste. Add a tablespoon of water if it feels too dry but do not add extra because it can make the resulting chutney watery. Clamp down with a spatula or spoon for even blending.
Remove to a clean container and store in the fridge. It will stay fresh for at least 3-4 days.


Bass Guitar Lessons for Beginners
Starting to play the bass guitar can be overwhelming. That is why this page breaks down the
process in easy to follow step-by-step lessons. If you are patient and do not mind practicing,
then you should be able to make good progress within a few weeks.
Be sure to visit this site frequently. I would recommend going through each lesson at least four or
five times in order to master the principles. If you build the core skills, then you will be able to
progress quicker later on. If you neglect the basics, you will eventually have to study them again,
and by then you will probably also have to unlearn some bad habits.
A few tips on how to get the most out of your practice sessions:
- Eliminate distractions. Set aside a certain amount of time (at least 15 minutes) and focus on
a lesson. Turn off your cell phone and close your e-mail and instant messaging. Set your status as
"practicing the bass guitar" and catch up with your friends later.
- Practice a lot. During an interview, The Beatles once said that a band should practice for 100 hours
for every hour of performing. I think they were optimistic. Unless you are a naturally talented
bass guitar player like Paul McCartney, you will probably need about 300 hours of practice before you
can even think about performing in public. But do not dispair, if you are diligent and keep working,
you will be ready to perform in a band before you know it.
- Be honest about your strengths and weaknesses. Some people will be able to pick up on things
immediately, while others will need to go over them ten times until they learn them. Most beginning
bass guitar players are better at certain aspects of music than others. For example, someone may develop
excellent technique and hand positions after a few lessons, but have horrible rhythm. If this is the
case, then don't be afraid to go through the rhythm lesson 30 or 40 times. The only thing that
matters is whether you eventually master the skills. This is the advantage of online lessons - no one
will know how long it takes you to learn something. They will only see the results.

We are creating a new company that provides documentation and policies (customized online) for customers based on their answers to some questions.
It's much better than a pre-packaged policy could be because the documentation fits their need with no wasted sections and it covers all the areas of their business.
We'd like a company name, a domain, a logo and a general look and feel of the stationery and a web design. The back-end of the website is well in hand, so we don't need development or hosting.
As it's an online business, we're after a domain that is memorable, and preferably short. The first industry we'll be going after is the Water Management idustry. These are the people who manage water supplies and treatment inside large commercial buildings...so the domain should probably have something to do with that industry or function.
The business is not a totally bespoke service like a consultancy, but it provides much more than a mass-produced product. As such, we're aiming for the middle of the market in look and feel.

A recent research report from Gartner claims that sales of mobile phones increased by nearly 20% year-over-year in the second quarter and the leading two makers of handsets increased their market share quite noticeably.
Worldwide mobile phone sales totaled 229 million units in the second quarter of 2006, a 18.3% increase from the same period last year. The research firm believes that mobile phone sales forecast is still on track to reach 960 million units in 2006, with 238 million units in the third quarter of 2006. The analysts believe that sales of cell phones in emerging markets were primary drivers for market growth in the quarter.
“While mobile operators in the mature markets of Western Europe and North America struggled to maintain the customer acquisition growth levels seen in previous quarters, but mobile operators in emerging markets continued to sign new customers driving handsets sales,” said Carolina Milanesi, principal analyst for mobile terminals research at Gartner, based in Egham.
Note: This table includes sales of integrated digital enhanced network (iDEN) terminals.
It excludes shipments from original design manufacturers to original equipment manufacturers.
Leading vendors Nokia and Motorola both grew their market share and accounted for more than half of the worldwide mobile phone sales in the second quarter of 2006. Nokia maintained its No. 1 position with a 33.6% market share, gaining two percentage points compared to the same period last year. Gartner stated that as Nokia starts to ship more feature-rich phones (such as the N72 and N73) in the third quarter of 2006, it needs to ensure that it can also cater for users who put fashion ahead of functionality and are looking for thin products.
Gartner believes that Motorola is a “big winner” in the quarter. The company achieved a market share of 21.9%, growing its market share by 4.2% year on year, the highest growth this quarter. Motorola maintained its lead in North America and
Samsung retained its No. 3 position but lost market share compared to the top two players. Sales reached 25.5 million units in the second quarter, approximately half of Motorola’s total sales this quarter. Lower sales in the home market coupled with weaker than expected demand in some key markets in Asia Pacific explained Samsung’s weaker performance. To grow market share in mature markets such as Western Europe and
Sony Ericsson regained the No.4 position with sales reaching 15.3 million units. “Sony Ericsson’s bet on music and imaging continued to pay back. 25% of their sales came from the Walkman branded devices and the first Cybershot phone K800 was also well received by consumers,” said Ms Milanesi.
LG Electronics lost 0.4 percent market share year on year and slipped into fifth place. “Although The Chocolate phone sold very well and helped to increase LG’s brand awareness globally, ‘one swallow does not make summer’. LG needs to bring to market more products from the Black Label series including a 3G offering, to win back and hold the fourth position,” added Ms Milanesi.

OVER £1200 SO FAR FOR WATERAID FROM YOU AND CAROL
Written by Archie Fergusson on 21/06/2015
On May 1st Carol Gillies set off on her Suzuki V-Strom motorbike to ride around Scotland anti-clockwise, riding mainly b and c roads, in order to take in as much of the coastline as possible. (Apart from the obvious bit where the border is! and the land ends ) she completed nearly 2000 miles in total
For a great deal of the journey Carol could see water a constant reminder to her of why she was doing this, and whilst she travelled along the coast the greatest amount of water she could see was undrinkable because it is salt water.
For many folk in this world undrinkable water is the only water they know, in fact it is dirty filthy, full of bacteria, parasites and animal faeces and as it is the only water available.
Every single day, 1,400 children die from drinking it.
That’s one a minute, every day.
Carol did this trip on her motor cycle in the hope of attracting your attention just for a wee while enough time to make you aware of Water Aid
WaterAid is a charity that works in places all over the world where people have no access to clean water. At all…………One in ten people in the world have no access to clean, drinkable water. That’s about 748 million people. Every day is a struggle just to find enough to stay alive.
Every day Water Aid try to make a difference and every day they appeal for money to do so Carol raised over £1200 to help people across the world get access to clean water and safe loos.
Carol would like to thank our local paper, The Dunoon Observer and Argyllshire Standard and all their staff the team at Dunoon Community Radio 97.4 FM , MotoScotland for their invaluable support and promotion for this great cause, to all the folk who came to the “Thank Funk It’s Friday” Disco Nite! And to every one who donated.
Carol will be coming into the DCR97.4FM Studio very shortly to say a personal thankyou to everyone in the meantime Carol say’s, “Anyone who would like to donate money to WaterAid…it’s online, doesn’t matter if it’s through Just Giving or directly to the charity. Or take out a standing order for a couple of squid a month….NEVER take our lovely, safe, clean water for granted! Thanks again everyone. Xx

Think of grandeur and it’s easy to imagine something on a large scale, but grandeur is the unexpected experience of the miniature Indian paintings on display at the Met.
The richness of color, the terrific presence of Gods and demonic animals, the complexity of scenes among tents and forests, lovers and armies all rendered in precise, intricate detail make it nearly impossible to absorb them quickly—and just as difficult to leave them again.
None of these paintings were made for display—intended for small private viewings in intimate settings, they were handed from one person to another in frames that allowed them to be held and turned, examined as closely as one wanted.
The result of this method of viewing is not small paintings, but more like very big painting made to fit in one’s hands. And the smaller they are, the more the sense of other-worldliness grows impressive.
Very few of them give their subject matter away from more than a couple of feet—there are no grand gestures, no composition of colors to beckon a distant eye. Even the ornate borders around many of them—many almost equal in area to the image—become a monochrome frame that fades into the background. In short, nothing is designed to entice from afar.
And yet, for that reason the depth of detail inside becomes even more mysterious—they are worlds hidden in plain sight. Bright, gilded worlds full of distinctive individuals, many of whom—like the God Krishna—credited with powerful universal force. It does not feel like looking at a small world, but like a glimpse into worlds we normally cannot see. Worlds around us, worlds above ours, worlds that govern our world. They seem to derive their most mystical quality from the way they are nearly hidden in plain sight.
You approach a painting—you notice the colors first, the larger figures, then the expression in a face, an eye, the gesture of a hand. You look further—they are wearing makeup, jewelry, nail-polish—a rope connecting a man’s scabbard to his belt is painted with a brush that must have been made of a single hair. These details don’t feel inconsequential, cosmetic—above all the painstaking care seems to ask you to look deeper and more carefully.
Whether the details are symbolic, or meant to render the work more realistic, seems beside the point. What they most certainly do is slow down the experience of looking. It takes a fair amount of time for all the details to be revealed—a bird, a plant, a star far in the distance—and still longer to understand the scene in terms of a larger story—often a chapter from the Upanishads.
They are pictures that must be read. And that sense of reading grows stronger as you focus before one after another, identifying characters, deciphering relationships, experiencing the image one detail at a time, until finally the growing sense of that world is ultimately more complete than any suggested by them individually. They are complex, secretive, slow paintings designed to absorb you during an extended viewing, and to invite you in repeatedly.

7:30a.m., Milena started her engine, and we were on our way to France. Me? I stayed in bed for another 45 minutes, to an hour before venturing topside. The seas were a little choppy, but the sun was at our back, as we ventured West toward The isle of Corsica. (Oh boy, the last time I was at this island and tried to leave it was Beaufort 8.).
