Morgan drops more music
Tuesday, March 1, 2016
– Fresh off her first release in five years, Lorrie Morgan announced today she would release a greatest hits plus effort this month.
"A Picture Of Me - Greatest Hits & More" is out March 18 on Goldenlane Records, a division of Cleopatra Records. The label has recently released new albums by the Oak Ridge Boys, Collin Raye, Little Texas and TG Sheppard, amongst others.
Morgan released "Letting Go... Slow" on Shanachie Entertainment on Feb. 12.
"Letting Go... Slow" is all new music about where I am right now and what all I've been through and was forced to learn about all along this crazy journey called life, and "A Picture Of Me - Greatest Hits & More" is a representation of how far I've come," Morgan said. "This compilation album is, truly, a picture of me - my biggest hits and those songs that have hit me the hardest or inspired me the most over the years. I am very proud of them both."
Featuring newly re-recorded versions of her top hits "Watch Me," "Something In Red," "Good As I Was To You," "Five Minutes," "Except For Monday, " A Picture Of Me (Without You)," "What Part Of No," and brand-new songs like Dottie West's "Here Comes My Baby," "A Picture Of Me - Greatest Hits & More" also features unreleased songs from Morgan like "I Went Crazy For Awhile" and "Hopelessly Yours," written and co-written by her late husband Keith Whitley. Morgan also includes renditions of Tammy Wynette's "'Til I Can Make It On My Own," and George Jones' "Loving You Could Never Be Better."
The album is produced by Matt Legge.
The track listing is:
1.) "Watch Me"
2.) "Something In Red"

William Michael Morgan
Did anyone bother to tell William Michael Morgan that he's seriously out of style? Who sports cowboy hats any more as the Vicksburg, Miss. native does on the cover of his debut? They were pretty much discarded (remember when hat acts got a tremendous amount of grief as poseurs?) years ago in favor of the baseball hats favored by the likes of Luke Bryan. Not surprisingly, Morgan has far more in common with the likes of George Strait (he still wears his cowboy headgear) than today's country popmeisters. »»»
During her lengthy career Loretta Lynn Morgan has had a lot of hits, though lately she has been in the news more for cutting cake (married six times at press time) than for cutting records. "Letting Go . . . Slow" is her first solo album since 2010's pop-oriented "I Walk Alone" (about which the less said the better), and she seems to be trying to make a country comeback, going mostly with covers on this record.
Speaking of covers, for some reason Morgan has gone with a »»»
Show Me How
Lorrie Morgan's career may have enjoyed a higher profile, but that shouldn't be because of albums like this. The sexy blonde generally hits the mark.
What sets Morgan apart and always has is her singing ability. She got strong pipes time and again and uses them to good effect throughout. That's particularly true on the uptempo numbers such as the lead off "Do You Still Wanna Buy Me That Drink (Frank)" where she plays a strong twice-divorced woman with two teens to raise and meets a man in a bar. »»»
Editorial: Walking the talk
When names like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Waylon and the Hag are invoked, you're talking hard core country. These are the touchstones of country , the guys who made country music what it was and still is (or maybe can be). When these folks would sing about being down-and-out and the rough-and-tumble, they knew of what they were singing about. Fast forward a few years to the country singers of today. »»»

Colt Mustang Pocketlite .380
The Colt Mustang Pocketlite .380 and Mustang Lite are small, lightweight, and boast enhanced durability, reliability, and accuracy, making both ideal handguns for personal protection. The precise machining process, high-quality materials, and design improvements make the Colt Mustang Pocketlite and Mustang
A semi-auto handgun chambered in 380 ACP, this Colt Mustang Pocketlite is small and lightweight. Loaded, it weighs less than one pound, but despite its compact size, this pistol delivers durability, reliability, and accuracy, and is ideal for concealed carry. This pistol is made with quality materials and precise machining processes.3-6 round magazines, the original box, and a manual are included.
Colt’s .380 Mustang hit stores in way back 1986 and it sold well. The Pocketlite version, with an aluminum frame, came out a year later, in 1987. They stayed in circulation for about a decade, and have been popular used guns ever since. They’re some of the smallest, sturdiest concealed carry guns. They’re main competition in .380 were the Walther PPK, and the Beretta Cheetah (both of which were larger).
The earliest Mustangs had evolved from the .380 Government Model, which seemed more like a scaled down 1911. The Mustang dropped a bit of height and length, and sacrificed a couple of rounds in the magazine. The result was a more natural fit. After-all, why carry a big .380? The Cheetah and the PPK are both guns of a different time and place, though both still have die-hard fans.
An Early Colt Mustang
Colt deduced as much. The .380 Government Model couldn’t compete. But the Mustang had a distinct selling point. Two actually. It was smaller, and it looked and worked like a 1911. But then came polymer. Automatics got smaller and lighter. And the Mustang stopped selling as well, so Colt stopped making it.
While many mourned the Mustang’s passing, others were not so sad to see it go. If you believe any of the rumors, plenty of Mustang owners wanted to take the old horse out behind the barn and pull the trigger themselves.
Some complain that magazines dropped free unexpectedly. Others point to shoddy construction methods. Colt had used plastic guide rods and triggers on the early guns. Some found that the spring tension was too tight, making the gun hard to manipulate. Others found the springs to be too loose, which kept the gun from locking up after shots. The edges of the gun were rough and prone to snag.
These, and other complaints of this sort, don’t always point to issues with individual parts. It has more to do with quality control. And that seems to be a thread that runs through blog complaints. Some worked great. Some were lemons.
But perhaps the biggest complaint about the old guns was the accuracy. Even the ones that worked reliably well were not known to be tack drivers.
What’s different about the New Colt Mustangs?
Colt’s seems to have gotten the message about quality control. CNC machines help. Manufacturing technology has improved greatly since the 80s. But I handle more guns than most, and the new Mustangs are tight and slick.
The new Mustang has a slide that’s milled from bar-stock. The old slides were milled from castings. The new frames are aluminum, like the old Pocketlite versions, but the finish is better. The aluminum may not wear as well as steel, but the fit is still incredibly precise.
New Mustang Field Stripped
If I have one complaint about the new version, it would be the finish. The aluminum slide and the steel don’t match. They are off, just a shade. The frame has a hint of tan to it. This is personal preference, I know, but I’d like to see a full on nickel plated Mustang. I’d also like to see one with a milled steel frame (and the whole gun blued).
And I guess I can find both of those, if I’m willing to hunt up one of the old Mustangs. But I’m not.
colt mustang in Holster by MultiHoslters
This one shoots like a much bigger gun. It is really nice. And I would rather have a gun that shoots straight than one that just looks pretty. And plastic isn’t all bad. This one looks good wrapped up in a holster from Multihoslter.
It still has a plastic guide rod. The trigger, though, is aluminum. And really crisp, for what it is.
I’m sure that some gunsmiths were sad to see Colt stop making the old Mustang. It guaranteed some work. Why? If the gun was as problematic as it was, why did people spend money trying to fix it?
Because they loved the gun. Or more accurately, they loved the idea of the gun. A small, concealable, single action gun with true 1911 controls will always appeal to 1911 fanatics. Even those who wouldn’t carry a .380 for self defense will stop and look twice at a Mustang.
But now the Mustang is even better. The new ones are excellent. They don’t require replacement parts or a gunsmith just to get them to function. And the timing is ideal. Colt is a savvy company. They didn’t put the Mustang out to pasture, they just stabled it and let the rest of us get our fill of the polymer pocket pistols. And now it is back, and on another rampage.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is built upon a nearly impossible promise: allowing people to finally attend Hogwarts.
Hogwarts Mystery is a mobile RPG for iOS and Android developed by Jam City in partnership with Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter-dedicated Portkey Games label. The game takes place over seven years, encouraging players to take advantage of life at Hogwarts. There are classes to attend, Quidditch matches to play, students to duel with and, as the game progresses, crushes to romance. There’s a storyline woven into the game’s core, but the heart of Hogwarts Mystery is the freedom in exploring the castle. The game takes place seven years before Harry Potter heads to Hogwarts — just after the death of his parents, while Voldemort is in hiding — meaning there’s no Boys Who Lived to encounter, either.
I’ve never tried to hide how important Harry Potter is to me. I wore my Slytherin off-brand Doc Martens to the play session, sporting two different Harry Potter pins on my jacket that I wear everywhere. I’ve even tried to convince editors at Polygon to let me write a column called “Dumblore,” (get it?) where I talk about different, important events in Harry Potter history. All of which is to say that I was holding the game to pretty high standards. I started my demo session in Diagon Alley, walking through the streets and picking up school supplies for my witch’s first year at Hogwarts.
There are few words to explain the level of immense joy and relief that filled my heart upon walking into stores like Flourish & Blotts and Ollivanders. Everything felt exactly as I remembered. It’s hard to pay attention to the actions the game is prompting you to perform when you’re looking around the different shops, taking it all in again. In Ollivanders, my witch was given a couple of different wands to try out. Each one required me to slide my finger across the iPad in a different motion. I then answered questions about my personality, which in turn helped to find the right wand.
Like any RPG, the decisions I make, including answering basic questions about how I’d react in a specific scenario, influence my character’s strengths throughout the game. I’m a Slytherin at heart, and having completed most “Which Hogwarts House Do You Belong In” quizzes on the internet, I knew what answers to give. The best part about Hogwarts Mystery is that you can play it however you want — the questions enough are easy to game to ensure you get placed in your favorite house, but you can also play it honestly and see where the game takes you.
But Diagon Alley is just a tease of what the game has to offer; it helps introduce the game’s simple mechanics, your character’s storyline and even a loyal friend. It wasn’t until I reached Hogwarts that I truly felt the game come to life. Everything from the Great Hall, where I was sorted into Slytherin (remember what I said about gaming the questions to your advantage), to my first classes (Charms with Professor Flitwick and Potions with Professor Snape) felt magical.
Although the game employs the original voice actors’ talents — including Michael Gambon as Dumbledore and Warwick Davis as Flitwick — the writing remains the most impressive facet. It’s important that a game like Hogwarts Mystery, which uses some of Harry Potter’s most popular characters, gets their stature just right. As a particularly big fan of Professor Snape, I was anxious the game would mess him up somehow. I was worried his elegant sarcasm and biting wit would be lost; his abrasive tone and charming apathy disregarded. Instead, I found myself pleasantly surprised by how true to the original character this version of Snape appeared.
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has the unenviable task of trying to appease Harry Potter fans, and we’re a stubborn, impish, hard-to-please bunch. Certain aspects of the universe have to be just so. The game never pretends. It comes across as a game designed by Harry Potter fans who always wanted to go to Hogwarts for equally hopeful Harry Potter aficionados. The adoration the team has for the characters, the castle and the general wizarding world is palpable.
That same respect the writing team paid to characters like Severus Snape can also be seen in other important, canonical figures. Again, considering the game takes place seven years before Harry’s official start, don’t expect to run into Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley or Hermione Granger. Other characters, however, like Nymphadora Tonks, Charlie Weasley and Bill Weasley do make an appearance.
I didn’t get to interact with Charlie or Tonks in this preview, but I faced off against Bill in a dueling session just outside the Quidditch pitch. Dueling operates like a Pokémon battle-style minigame. Players are given health bars and a variety of spells to either defend or attack with. The order of the attack is decided by a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Players continue to attack each other until one wizard or witch’s wand goes flying. It’s not one of the more interesting parts of the game, but people looking to acquire additional coins or XP points to purchase aesthetic items and become more powerful will enjoy the distraction.
Perhaps the most important Hogwarts Mystery characteristic that can’t go unsaid is how little gameplay I actually encountered. I spent most of my time talking to friends, learning about my family’s troubled past and listening to my teachers. It’s the perfect game for someone like me who finds the most interesting parts of Harry Potter the relationships and the drama that builds. This isn’t the type of game where players will be asked to consistently engage with an action. Prepare to read, and read, and read some more. I was so engrossed with the story I was navigating, the characters I was meeting and learning from my professors, that the fact I didn’t particularly do many actionable things never bothered me.
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery made me feel like a Hogwarts student for a brief period. I managed to upset Professor Snape, charm Professor Flitwick into declaring me one of the brightest witches he’s ever taught, managed some mischief and even made an enemy. I was invested in my witch; a Hogwarts student who I wanted to become the powerful leader she was destined to be. I didn’t think that Hogwarts Mystery would keep my attention, but by the end of the session I was disappointed to hand the iPad back.
I can’t wait to dive into Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery again, and spend the next seven years at Hogwarts. The trepidations I had that this would just be another Harry Potter game aren’t there anymore.
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is available today for iOS and Android devices.

[Fig. 6, Fig. 4(3), Fig. 3(6)] Originally called "The Bluffs" after the surrounding cliffs of the Blue Ridge escarpment, Doughton Park was renamed in 1961 to honor Robert Lee Doughton, an avid Parkway supporter and longtime U.S. congressman. One of the larger tracts along the Parkway, Doughton Park features more than 30 miles of hiking trails crossing and circling its 6,000 acres. A network of seven trails winds through pastures and meadows, along streams and ridges, and into coves and valleys that create distinctive habitats rich in wildlife.
Isolation was a way of life when the Brinegar family built their self-sufficient homestead here. They farmed the land from the 1880s until the 1930s, when the National Park Service acquired it for the Parkway. Today, the Brinegar cabin [Fig. 6(6)] is a popular destination within the park. Other families settled along Basin Creek and Cove Creek, although their numbers were never large. Martin Caudill's cabin [Fig. 6(5)], which is visible from several vantage points, was built in 1895 and is one of the few to survive a devastating flood in 1916.
Bluff Mountain Trail [Fig. 6(1)] is relatively level, though long at 15 miles round-trip, and offers many breathtaking vistas. There are shorter but more strenuous trails, such as Bluff Ridge Trail [Fig. 6(7)], Basin Creek Trail [Fig. 6(8)], and Flat Top Ridge Trail [Fig. 6(11)].
Large-toothed aspen (Populus grandidentata) (a rare sight in North Carolina, though the trees are common from Maine across to Minnesota), Carolina hemlock (Tsuga caroliniana), and Fraser magnolia (Magnolia fraseri) also grow here. In addition to the ubiquitous rhododendron and mountain laurel, witch-hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), sassafras, and dogwood make up the understory, with spring wildflowers such as violets, mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum), fire pink (Silene virginica), bluets (Houstonia caerulea), cinquefoil (Potentilla), and solomon's seal (Polygonatum biflorum) blooming beneath their canopy. Blazing star (Chamaelirium luteum) thrives near the visitor station, and rhododendron tunnels along numerous trails are renowned for their intense and colorful blossoms in early to mid-June.
Three of the park's trails are recommended for bird-watching: Flat Rock Ridge Trail, Cedar Ridge Trail, and Grassy Gap Fire Road. Late-spring and summer birds include cedar waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum), wood thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), gray catbird, solitary and red-eyed vireos, scarlet tanager (Piranga olivacea), and indigo bunting. Turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) and ravens (Corvus corax) soar along the ridges, making their nests in the rocky cliffs along the Cedar Ridge Trail. Other wildlife includes the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginia), wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), and seldom-seen bobcat (Felis rufus) and black bear (Ursus americanus). Thousands of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) pass through here on their annual migrations to Mexico.
Basin Creek and Cove Creek offer approximately 5 miles of essentially wild trout fishing with some rainbow trout at the lower reaches. This area is classified as "special" by the National Park Service, which requires artificial lure on a single hook.

We’re on the 24th floor of the Wells Fargo Building, aka headquarters of the Alaskan Way Viaduct project, awaiting the briefing on some of the first data from the evaluation of the 8 “scenarios” currently under consideration, as decisionmakers prepare to narrow down the options and take elements of various ones to combine into three “finalists.” We’ll post headlines from the briefing here “live” as they emerge, with a wrapup later. POST-BRIEFING NOTE: Click ahead to see the hour and a half of liveblogging we did while this was still under way:
12:37 PM UPDATE: Briefing has begun. Ron Paananen from WSDOT is starting by recapping some of the work that’s under way now on AWV and Spokane Street. Data from 7 of the 27 performance measures on the 6 guiding principles, says Bob Powers from SDOT. Ron Paananen says re: retrofit re-review, got a letter from the engineer who did that: “Although it’s a limited review, there’s enough information to tell us we made the right decision – further review of retrofit won’t reveal a silver bullet to retrofit at a reasonable cost, 50 percent of a replacement” – so retrofit definitely dead. Paananen says the Miyamoto report did not address cost specifically but said ground work and seawall work NOT optional. “Yes, done,” Paananen says, “retrofit is dead” – says “never say never” but doesn’t see any way this would fit into the guiding principles. 12:49 PM UPDATE: Ron Posthuma from King County says no significant seismic safety difference between all scenarios (all would withstand a 1,000-year earthquake). All three briefers say waterfront streetcar NOT coming back till waterfront replacement for viaduct is built, whatever it is. A First Avenue streetcar MIGHT replace the waterfront – could be more frequent – but they’d have to solve issues of getting people to First more easily. 1:14 PM UPDATE: Paananen says they are likely to narrow down to two or three scenarios around November 20th. Stakeholder meeting for October is canceled because so much data is coming out, pushed back to Nov. 6th. P.S. Twitter feed broken, some weird log-in both for direct access and also widgets so Twitter widget is off this page till it seems fixed. Just in case you wondered! 1:19 PM UPDATE: What if Gov. Gregoire loses, a newspaper reporter asks, since Rossi has said he wants a tunnel? She’s gov till January, it’s noted, and the state is one of three partners, so the process continues. 1:21 PM UPDATE: Paananen reiterates, final solution will probably be some mix-and-match of elements of current scenarios, not exactly like 1 of the current 8. 1:32 PM UPDATE: Cost estimates not out just because it’s taking longer, they reiterate. Also noting that the South End project will take away ALL THAT PARKING under the current Viaduct – “thousands of spaces.” No replacement- no parking structure – some on-street parking will come back when done. Less than 2,000 spaces, actually, says Posthuma. Parking comes into the “economic analysis” performance measure which will have data available November 13th. Will city raise parking rates? Don’t know, says Powers, will find out. Looking at installing parking-guidance system … to let you know where there’s parking. 1:42 PM UPDATE: Now they’re “updating” scenarios E and H, “integrated elevated” with buildings under a new elevated structure, and “lidded trench” type semi-tunnel. Part of E could be retrofittted AWV and Elliott-Western ramps for section by Battery Street Tunnel. 1:54 PM UPDATE: The sketches of scenario E are very dramatic. Elevated roadway would be totally enclosed, looking back at it from waterfront, you wouldn’t know you were looking at a highway. “Raised tunnel,” almost. Two lanes in each direction. This would be coupled with going northbound on Western, southbound on Alaskan Way surface, east of the structure – no road on the west side of the structure. Hope we get electronic copies of this. 2:08 PM UPDATE: Briefing close to wrapping up. Sketches presented of lidded-trench option, showing some treatments of the vents that would be required. Road would be over the lidded trench.

Just over a year on from his debut comics anthology, Joe Kessler is back with the second edition of Windowpane, another surreal foray into a world of sexual exploration, existential crisis and the speed-carving of chess pieces. Just like last time Joe’s been generous with the number of stories on offer and the richness of imagery too; you’re as likely to get lost in the detail of each panel as you are in the overall narratives.
As any long-term collectors of Joe’s work will know (I’ve been collecting for a few years now as it happens), these anthologies link visually, taking you on a strange journey from the first to last page, occasionally losing you in some alternative reality for a while before bringing you back to earth for the climax; in this instance a standing ovation from a concert-hall crowd comprised of the artist’s own ecstatic face congratulating you for hanging on until the final curtain.

In the last day of our tour, we covered the must see in the historical part of the great city of Istanbul. The itinerary includes Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and the Grand Bazaar.
Today, it is a museum. But in the past, built in 15th century, it served as the main residence and administrative headquarters of the Ottoman sultans for about 400 years.
|Entrance to Topkapi Palace|
|Outer palace grounds|
|Entrance to palace grounds|
|Elaborate ceiling decor|

|Overlooking the Bhosphorus Straits|
|One of the many chambers|
|Royal kitchen with extra large cauldrons to feed the many palace staff|
|Exterior of the Royal Kitchen. Noticed the many chimneys.|
|Sultan's suit of armour|
Sultan Ahmed Mosque - The Blue Mosque
The Blue Mosque, as it is popularly known to tourists still functions as a mosque for the faithful answering to the call to prayer. Hand painted blue tiles adorn the mosque's interior walls, and at night the mosque is bathed in blue as lights frame the mosque's five domes. It is also the only mosque that has six minarets. Our hotel is located at the back of this grand mosque, just walking distance away.
|Inside the Blue Mosque|
|Hand painted blue tiles|
From the Greek word Aya Sofia, it was a Greek Orthodox Christian pathriarchal basilica, later an imperial mosque and now a museum. It was constructed in 537 AD and served as a seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople and subsequently converted to a Catholic church during the Fourth Crusades.
Famous for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and remained the world's largest cathedral for nearly a thousand years.
|Elaborate painted ceilings|
|Even then, there were ramps leading the people to the upper terraces|
|Great views from the upper terrace. Evidence of Islam influence.|
|One of the four seraphims at four corners of the great dome|
|Shot of the great dome|
|Notice the halo above my head..lol|
The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is tone of the oldest and largest covered market in the world, with 61 chaotic covered streets and over 4,000 shops in one sprawling area. On an average, 250,000 to 450,000 tourists visit this famous market daily.
Be prepared to be lost in a labyrinth of narrow streets filled with shops, people, cafes and restaurants.
|One of the many entrances to the Grand Bazaar|
After the visit to the Grand Bazaar and dinner, we came to the conclusion of our tour of Turkey. All in all, it was an interesting and enjoyable tour with the highlight been the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia. All meals were included, all entrances to places of interest paid and hotel accommodation was generally fine and comfortable. We traveled approximately 2,216km across Turkey.
Tour Company: Parlo Tours
Duration: 10 days 7 nights
Cost per pax: RM4,121.
Four of us parted ways with tour group and said our goodbyes as we extended our stay in Istanbul by another 3 nights.

Preparing for Your Pet's Veterinary Visit
Whether you are the proud owner of a puppy or kitten, a newly adopted pet, or a senior companion animal, it is imperative to your pet's wellbeing to schedule an annual wellness checkup with one of our compassionate veterinarians. These routine exams allow us to evaluate and track your pet's general health, as well as aid in the prevention of early onset disease, illness, and other small animal conditions. Such preventive measures can make a world of difference in your pet's longevity and quality of life.
Preparing for a Wellness Visit: What Should I Bring?
- Stool sample
- Urine sample if your pet is showing signs of:
- Increased thirst
- Excessive urination
- Blood in the urine
- List of medications and nutritional supplements being given to your pet
- Prior vaccination and medical history records if your pet has received care from another veterinary practice

The cake was not that tasty.
I made this cake yesterday for my in-laws' 35th anniversary and it went over very well! One guest thought it was the best cake she's ever had. I made the cake with 2 round layers and it served 16. I used the White Cake Frosting I recipe to frost, and for the filling between the two layers, I mixed 2/3c raspberry preserves with 2t Grand Marnier. Great cake - thanks!
THIS CAKE IS AMAZING!
i did this cake the best / ty so munch / cool cake / for teen birthday / 16 went over well / everyone like the cake / the teen like it / now that cool when teen like it / ty a gain / hava
This cake was a disappointment. It did cook evenly without much of a crest. However, It sunk while cooling, it was dry and had a bland but over sweet taste. Texture was spongy and did not hold together well after removed from the pan. It was impossible to stack the halves without breaking apart.
It was okay needs to be better but i liked it but didnt love it

During our flight from Pokhara back to Kathmandu, the haze was too thick to see the Annapurna range that had so loomed over us in Kaskikot. Bye Pokhara, bye Kaskikot, bye Aamaa.
Our flight was testy. It reminded me of some of my past flights into Albuquerque over the Sandia mountain range. The plane went up and down like a rollercoaster, accompanied by metallic shaking. Bump, bump, bump! Enough to make my stomach churn.
Himal’s friend picked us up at the airport and we drove to Panauti. Along the route was a huge statue of Shiva. A big golden figure, she held her 3 pronged fork with pride as she looked over the Kathmandu valley and it’s brick factory smoke stacks.
Lissa and I had a peeing adventure. He pulled over on a curve, and we expected some building, some designated toilet house, but there was nothing. He told us just go into the growth and pee there, but even that was pretty minimal. I knew my wife’s buttons would be pushed with this one, and my eyes combed up the road where there was at least some thicker brush. I waved at her and pointed at the brush. As we walked, I realized even the brush was perched dangerously on the crest of a cliff. “This will have to do,” I said to myself. I had to negotiate stepping down the cliff hanging on to a few weeds. At least I had a little privacy as the trucks roared nearby. Lissa managed just fine. When I was done, I stepped back up, and realized my legs were surrounded by marijuana plants. I was surprised to see that the Nepalese regarded it as a roadside weed. No war on drugs here. I pulled a leaf as a memento, and returned to the car.
We drove through the city of Banepa which was similar to Pokhara with it’s main street frantic with the motorcycles. Their beeping was persistent, and the dust was ever present. This city had made a wide main street, so there wasn’t that feeling of being closed in by huge numbers of people. Our time was short here, and we took a right hand turn towards Panauti.
Next our driver tried to muscle our way over a bridge that was only one and a half lanes wide. The trucks bore down on us, it’s tires were centimeters from us. I gripped my knee. We were stuck. Finally he backed the car to the mouth of the bridge where we parked. As we sat waiting for the trucks to pass, I noticed there were plenty of Cannabis plants on the roadside and the below river’s banks.
We entered Panauti through the main square. There was all sorts of social life here. The fruit carts lined the east part of the square, I could hear their yelling for business. Their eyes seemed to follow our car with a little foreigner caution. The buses waited for customers in the square’s middle. Dressed with Shiva colors, many of the buses have Buddha eyes. These eyes of wisdom watch over and protect the buses journey. We turned back north bouncing slowly over a dirt road. The ducks along its side seemed oblivious to us just barely moving out of our way.
We arrived at Himal’s place, Joining Hands Nepal. I am excited to meet the kids of his orphanage, and to have more time getting to know Himal. We took a nap despite the humming of the lumber yard saws across the street.

Don't force Enbridge tunnel on Mackinac Bridge Authority | Opinion
With the introduction of Senate Bill 1197 by Sen. Tom Casperson on Nov. 8, the Mackinac Bridge Authority was forced one step closer to being contractually bound to the private, for-profit, energy company Enbridge for the next century.
The outgoing governor’s plan to force the ownership and responsibility for a Mackinac Straits tunnel project on the Mackinac Bridge Authority through a public/private partnership was hatched behind closed doors for months prior to it being made public last month when an agreement between the State of Michigan and Enbridge was signed. In fact, the entire scheme was drafted so clandestinely that then-MBA Chair Bill Gnodtke and I, then-Vice Chair and a current member, were told of the plan mere hours before the announcement. To date, the Mackinac Bridge Authority, a statutorily autonomous entity, has never authorized the governor, a state agency, or anyone to negotiate on its behalf in this matter.
This agreement, to which the Mackinac Bridge Authority is not a party, dictates that the Authority and Enbridge shall negotiate a Tunnel Project Agreement wherein the Authority will provide Lake Michigan lakebed and acquire the property for a Straits utility tunnel, ultimately take ownership of that tunnel, and lease it back to Enbridge for 99 years. The tunnel would be built to accommodate Enbridge’s oil pipeline across the Straits as a replacement to the 65-year-old Line 5 oil pipeline currently lying on the lakebed beneath the Straits of Mackinac.
The governor’s plan further allows Enbridge to continue to operate its aged and highly controversial Line 5 pipeline until at least 2028, with extensions for any “delays” in permitting or a legal challenge.
What is the Mackinac Bridge Authority?
The Mackinac Bridge Authority was created in 1952 for the singular purpose of constructing, operating and maintaining the Mackinac Bridge to provide a safe transportation link between the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan.
In order to accomplish this, the Authority was given broad powers including the power to charge a toll, to incur debt through the sale of bonds, and to condemn private property for its public purpose. Real property owned by the Mackinac Bridge Authority is not subject to taxation. Additionally, the financial assets of the Authority are protected from raiding by the Legislature and other state agencies and from competing uses that would drain revenues.
The public/private partnership allows Enbridge, a shareholder-owned, private, foreign corporation, to hijack and exploit those enviable powers of the Mackinac Bridge Authority for its private benefit and profit.
What Senate Bill 1197 does
The Mackinac Bridge Authority is an independent and autonomous entity whose sole purpose is to protect the fiscal and structural integrity of one of the world’s great bridges and Michigan’s crown jewel. The Authority does not currently have the legal ability to own and operate a utility tunnel. SB1197 would give it that power as well as the powers to issue bonds for the tunnel construction and to lease to others the exclusive right to use the tunnel.
The brief lame duck session of the Legislature resumed Nov. 27. It is during this time that legislation can be slipped through the legislative process with little attention – people are busy preparing for the holidays and the legislature wants to wrap up business. This tunnel scheme has been in the works for many months. Why did the Governor wait until lame duck? Very likely so the scheme to transfer land and money for Enbridge’s tunnel and new pipeline would go unnoticed by the very people who own the Mackinac Bridge – you, the citizens and taxpayers of the State of Michigan.
If this fast-track, end-run on the citizens of Michigan is not deterred for careful review, the Michigan Senate could quickly approve the bill in the lame duck session and send it to the House. With Snyder’s signature, this would tie the hands of the incoming members of the legislature and the administrations of Governor-elect Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney General-elect Dana Nessel, who both campaigned for shutting down Line 5.
Snyder just appointed four (a majority) new members to the Mackinac Bridge Authority who are expected to carry out his wishes if an emergency meeting is called sometime before the end of the year.
What it means for the Mighty Mac
The Mackinac Bridge Authority would no longer be the autonomous, independent entity that has looked after the Bridge so well for over 60 years. The authority would have ownership, oversight, responsibility, and expanded liability for a private foreign company’s oil tunnel.
I call on Michigan lawmakers to join me and our fellow citizens in rejecting Senate Bill 1197’s attempt to bind the future and fate of the Mackinac Bridge to the proposed Enbridge Line 5 oil tunnel. It is time to stand up for the Mighty Mac which has stood so proudly in service to us since 1957.
Barbara J. Brown is a member of the Mackinac Bridge Authority. She has served on the board since 2005. Brown is the granddaughter of Prentiss Brown, the first chairman of the bridge authority who served from 1950 to 1973.


- An engineer built a robot to print out and burn President Donald Trump's tweets
- "It's a way to laugh through this, hopefully," David Neevel says
David Neevel's red robot prints out each tweet on a piece of paper then switches on a lighter, burns it and dispenses the flaming remainders into an ashtray. Neevel has filmed and documented the entire process on Twitter.
Neevel shares each tweet-burning video on the the "@burnedyourtweet
" Twitter account, along with a message tweeted to @realDonaldTrump that says, "I burned your tweet."
The engineer, who is currently working as a freelancer in the Netherlands, told CNN's Jeanne Moos the tweet-burning is a cathartic experience.
"It's a way to laugh through this, hopefully," he said.
"How often do you empty the ashtray?" Moos asked.
"About once a day," Neevel said.

Toshiba recently announced the Portege R500 12.1" widescreen notebook that includes the new Intel Core 2 Duo U7600 (Merom) platform, and is the first ultraportable laptop to incorporate an optical drive into a system that is less than one inch thick and weighs less than 2.5 pounds. The R500 provides a new ultra-low voltage Core 2 Duo processor, optical drive, fingerprint reader, and a generous selection of ports in a stylish form factor that is so light and thin it’s shocking. The following is a quick first take on the Toshiba R500.
Toshiba Portege R500 12.1" screen ulraportable notebook (view large image)
Build and Design
The Toshiba Portege R500 features a radical design measuring as thin as 0.77-inches and weighing 2.4 pounds. This makes the R500 lighter and thinner than most ultraportables. The silver R500 combines rounded edges and angular lines producing a shape that’s both space-saving and stylish. It’s very clear upon first glance that there is absolutely no wasted space in the design of the R500.
The full sized keyboard of the R500 (view large image)
The build is mostly plastic with some flex most noticeably beneath the right palm rest and the LCD lid. While the widescreen 12.1” LCD is almost paper thin and flexible, there are no noticeable ripples even when pressing firmly or flexing the screen. There is minimal light leakage and both horizontal and vertical viewing angles are more than acceptable.
The keyboard is full sized and very nice to use with some flex, especially near the edges. One surprise on the keyboard was a set of dedicated page up and page down buttons, along with dedicated home and end keys, a nice feature not found on most ultraportable notebooks. The spacious touchpad provides excellent responsiveness, but feels a little “cheap” compared to the fit and finish of the rest of this notebook. The glossy “metal-like” plastic touchpad buttons feel nice, but are a magnet for fingerprints and at times didn’t provide enough feedback.
The touchpad, mouse buttons, fingerprint reader, and LED indicators (view large image)
The R500 doesn’t use any type of latch to close the lid, just a firm hinge closing mechanism that works well.
Below is a video with comparison of the Toshiba Portege R500 to the Lenovo X61 12.1" tablet (hosted by our Brian Beeler) so you get an idea of how it stacks up:
Ports and Features
While about half of all ultraportable notebooks come equipped with an optical drive, those that do tend to be thick and heavy. Anyone looking for a super slim notebook was forced to sacrifice an optical drive in favor of making the system as light and thin as possible. The R500 successfully offers the “best of both worlds” by combining a light and thin notebook with a 7mm 8x DVD Superdrive.
The right side with Ethernet, USB, wireless on/off, optical drive, SD card reader and ExpressCard 54 slot (view large image)
The left side with power jack, VGA port, two USB ports, Firewire, volume control, headphone and microphone ports (view large image)
The port selection of the R500 is remarkably good for a notebook of this size. Above you can view a video that tours the ports on the notebook, and if you prefer to read here’s a quick rundown of what you get:
- 3 USB 2.0 ports (two on the left and one on the right)
- IEEE 1394 / FireWire port
- Monitor out port
- Headphone / line-out port
- Microphone in port
- ExpressCard 54 slot
- Ethernet LAN port
- SD card slot reader
You also get some nice dedicated hardware buttons such as wireless on/off on the right side, volume up/down control wheel on the left, a “Toshiba Assist” help quick launch button, and an LCD backlight on/off button.
To top these features off you get integrated biometric security via a finger print reader located between the touchpad buttons.
The bottom of the R500 with docking station port, memory access, and battery (view large image)
Upon launch the Portege R500 will come in two virtually identical configurations: The R500-S5002 (Windows Vista Business) priced at $2,149 and the R500-S5001X (Windows XP Professional) priced at $1,999.
Our pre-production Toshiba Portege R500 had the following specs:
- Genuine Windows Vista Business (32-bit version)
- Intel Core 2 Duo U7600 1.20GHz, 2MB L2, 533MHz FSB with 64-bit
- 1024MB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM
- One memory slot available
- 120GB (5400 RPM); Serial-ATA hard disk drive
- 7mm, 8xDVD-SuperMulti (+/-R Single Layer) drive supporting 9 formats
- 12.1-inch diagonal widescreen highbrightness display
- 1280 x 800 (WXGA) – Transreflective backlit LED
- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with 64MB
- Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (802.11a/g/n)
- Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
In the third quarter of 2007, Toshiba plans to further reduce the weight of the Portege R500 Series to 1.72 pounds (without optical drive) by replacing the Serial-ATA HDD with a 64GB solid state drive. This will make the R500 the world’s lightest widescreen 12.1-inch notebook (as of this writing).
Since our sample R500 was a pre-production unit we could not perform our standard benchmarking. That said, with a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of RAM and an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 chipset it should be reasonable to expect the R500 to provide solid business performance but lack the power for serious 3D gaming.
Overall our first impressions of the Toshiba Portege R500 are very positive, but thorough benchmarking is needed to confirm how this ultraportable stacks up to the competition. While there are some minor concerns with build quality, the R500 is remarkably well built for such a small ultraportable.

Islamabad, Mar 16: Celebrations broke out in Islamabad and Lahore as the govt decided to announce the restoration of the deposed Chief Justice, Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry.
The announcement was made by Gilani in a televised address to the nation. The Pakistan govt has also agreed to restore the Pakistan-Punjab government of Shahbaz Sharif, who was sacked following the Supreme Court order.
This is the prime demand of the former Prime Minister and Opposition leader, Nawaz Sharif, who began the last leg of his unprecedented Long March earlier in the day from Lahore.
The decision to reinstate Chaudhry, who was sacked when former military ruler Pervez Musharraf imposed emergency in Nov 2007, was taken during a meeting between President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.
PML-N spokesman Siddique-ul-Farooq told reporters that his party had been informed that Chaudhry was being reinstated through an executive order.
Pakistan's army chief, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, held meetings with Gilani and Zardari late Sunday, Mar 15 and reportedly pressed the two leaders for a deal to avert instability.

Gold Nugget grows to 1m (3′) and becomes covered with 2cm 91″) yellow tomatoes with a rich sweet flavour. This variety is the first to ripen, and has incredible yields all summer. Its perfect for five gallon containers. Determinate. 55 days, OP.


In this week’s update we focus on a much-reported study from Wood Mackenzie on exponential growth potential for the electric vehicle (EV) charger infrastructure and the disruptive impact of EV’s across the energy sector. With Tesla’s second quarter announcement of strong sales of the Model 3, it seems that Elon Musk, at least for now, has managed to bat back Tesla doomsayers. Finally, in a move that warmed the hearts of litigation lawyers nationally, the EPA and Department of Transportation announced a freeze on emission standards and a roll back of California’s right, in place since 1977, to set stricter standards.
Wood Mackenzie forecasts that with EV’s growing to 11% of new car sales by 2030, the expansion of the EV charger market to support that growth will be rapid. They forecast the addition of over 1.2 million public chargers (versus circa 50,000 today) in North America alone and 40 million globally. Focusing on the North American market, Wood Mackenzie estimates that building the EV infrastructure will generate $2.7 billion in the next two years alone and over $18 billion by 2030.
Looking to the future, the participation of EV infrastructure in the smart grid, allowing two-way energy delivery (to and from the car) and bi-directional communications, will be a disruptive force in energy markets. The involvement of EV’s and the charger infrastructure represents significant new sources of revenues for a number of participants. Wood Mckenzie (“EV growth will require massive charging infrastructure build-out”.)
Tesla earnings muzzle critics (for now)
The EV auto news this week has been dominated by Tesla and the Model 3 in particular. With a strong second quarter, driven by demand for the Model 3, Tesla roundly beat stock analysts’ earnings forecasts. Tesla said it produced 53,339 vehicles in the second quarter and delivered 22,319 Model S’ and Model X ‘s and 18,449 Model 3’s, totaling 40,768 deliveries. It also announced that it can consistently meet its goal to produce 5,000 Model 3’s per week. With sales of the Models S and X remaining largely static, it also does not seem to be cannibalizing the more expensive Tesla models CNBC (“Tesla shares surge as upbeat Musk sees profitable second half”.)
July 2018 sales forecasts indicate that the Tesla is outselling competitors’ internal combustion engine (ICE) in the small/midsized luxury market segment by a wide margin. Sales of the Model 3 equaled the combined sales of the next three top selling cars in that market segment-the Mercedes C class, the BMW 5 Series and the Audi A4. Toyota also reported a more than 20% drop in July 2018 sales of the Camry and Prius versus July 2017 and It appears that the Model 3 is also eating into Toyota’s market share. CleanTechnica (Tesla Model 3 Sales Skyrocket, US Toyota Camry & Prius Sales Plummet – Coincidence?”.)
One preliminary conclusion from all this data is that the Model 3 is able to compete not just in the small to mid-sized luxury market but in every market segment. While there are still reasons to be concerned about Tesla’s future but, at least in the short term, Tesla is driving the EV market and, it seems, the auto market more broadly. Axios (“Why the electric vehicle revolution still needs Tesla”.)
EPA Freezes Emission Standards
Last week, the EPA and Department of Transportation moved to meet President Trump’s promise to undo Obama era rules forcing automakers to reduce pollution and increase fuel efficiency. The proposals set to freeze standards at 2020 levels. In additional, the administration is seeking to undo Clean Air Act rules from 1977 that permit states to choose between following federal rules or California’s stricter standards. Currently, 12 states follow California’s stricter standards, representing over a third of the US car market sales.
The Obama rules increase average fuel economy from 37 miles per gallon in 2020 to 50 miles per gallon by 2025. According to the EPA’s own projections, this would reduce American oil consumption by 1.2 billion barrels, cut half a billion metric tons of carbon pollution and save consumers billions of dollars in fuel costs.
Transportation is the largest contributor to greenhouse gases in the US. Undoing those rules and rolling back California’s stricter emission standards would represent a severe setback to attempts to combat climate change. NY Times (“Trump’s Biggest Climate Move Yet Is Bad for Everyone”.) However, it is likely that the EPA and Department of Transportation will have an uphill legal battle in rolling back California’s standards. At a minimum, these rules will result in protracted litigation. For the auto industry, this could lead to the realization of their worst fears-substantial uncertainty over the next several years over target emission standards (as they plan future model launches) and divergent rules across the country, which would increase production costs.

The Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett from the Mahatmas M. and K.H. is one of the main doctrinal sources from the Blavatsky era of Theosophy. Although only completely published in 1923, it’s contents were known to theosophical leaders through manuscript copies that were circulated. One such collection was published in 1923 as The Early Teachings of the Masters from copies at Adyar. The various theosophical groups have responded to these letters differently. The Point Loma Society welcomed them, but this may have been facilitated by the fact that A. Trevor Barker, who transcribed the letters for publication, was then a member of their group. The Adyar Society took the stance that the letters were often colored by the person who transmitted them (HPB) and therefore not always representative of the writer’s views. The United Lodge of Theosophists ignores them.
The Theosophical Publishing House of Wheaton, Illinois, has entered the debate by issuing a book of commentaries on the letters by Joy Mills, titled Reflections on an Ageless Wisdom. At 600 pages this commentary is as long as the book it comments on. The book upholds the Adyar position. The author writes: A significant point, one we will return to later, is that when chelas are transcribers or transmitters of the Mahatmas’ letters, some distortion, or even alteration, of the ideas the Mahatmas intended to convey is possible (p. 102). Dealing with the so-called Prayag letter (Letter 30 in this book), she notes: Whether HPB, in transmitting her Teacher’s words, got herself into the picture, as it were, is a question each student is invited to consider without bias or prejudgment (p. 105).
This was Olcott’s view, and Annie Besant’s, and that of many others in the Adyar Theosophical Society. When W.Q. Judge printed an edited version of this letter in the March 1895 Path, Olcott in India stopped the press for the April issue of The Theosophist that was about to be printed to add a note stating that he thought the letter fraudulent. When Annie Besant upheld Olcott’s position, this allowed Judge to frame the debate as one of Olcott and Besant versus HPB. But the matter was not that simple, though theosophists like to frame their feuds in broad strokes of black and white.
The letter in question (number 30 in the chronological edition of the Mahatma Letters/number 164 in previous editions) was written by Blavatsky to Sinnett in Nov. 1881, transmitting her teacher’s rationale for not corresponding with Indian members:
These statements stood in contradiction to the objects of the Theosophical Society at the time, which encouraged the study of Indian philosophy and religion, and its non-sectarian platform urging members to find meaning in their own traditions. Olcott as President, living in India, the base of its largest membership, no doubt saw the danger of these remarks. When the theosophists first came to India, one of the charges brought against them (by Swami Dayananda) was that their Society was a cover to convert Indians to Buddhism. As late as 1892 Olcott noted in a talk in Calcutta that despite his many years in the country, he had never lectured in India on Buddhism.
Judge at this point had nothing to lose by antagonizing Indian members, the majority of whom sympathized with Besant in what they viewed as his unbrotherly attack on her, with his statements of black magicians using the Brahmins of India as part of a nefarious plot. In subsequent articles Judge went on to play down the eastern influence of the movement and declare this would be an era of western occultism. Now that the personalities involved with these issues are long deceased, the debate about this matter might be better framed as one of the Mahatmas versus the T.S. and its the non-sectarian platform. That is, of course, if one believes HPB’s account accurate and the whole thing not a “vast imposture.”
