Although this event has expired, there is always something to see and do in Kentucky. Visit our Kentucky Events page for up to the minute happenings and be sure to check out our Things to Do in Kentucky page. Be sure to keep an eye on Genuine Kentucky for information about this year's Hot August Blues Festival!
Some annual traditions are popular in the state of Kentucky, then there's the annual Hot August Blues Festival at Kenlake State Park. Popular doesn't even begin to describe what goes on in this beautiful park each August.
The Hot August Blues Festival at Kenlake State Resort Park is celebrating its 24th anniversary Aug. 23-24 (2013). The wildly popular festival is held at the park�s amphitheater on the shore of Kentucky Lake. The show opens Friday, Aug. 23, with Street Corner Blue at 6 p.m.
The program on Saturday, Aug. 24, starts at 2 p.m. with Nightfish. Advance tickets are $12 for Friday and $17 for Saturday. Two-day advance tickets are $25 a person. Children 12 and under are free. Tickets at the gate are $15 for Friday, $20 for Saturday and $30 for both days.
Advance tickets may be purchased online through Aug. 23 at 10 a.m.
The park will host Neighborhood Night on Thursday, Aug. 22, with blues and rock music on the lawn at the lodge at 6 p.m. The Harper Brothers Band and others will play. This concert is free, but donations are accepted for local charities.
Special lodging rates at Kenlake are available for Aug. 22. More ticket and schedule information is available at www.hotaugustbluesfestival.com. Tickets are available at Kenlake and other locations in the area. The festival is held rain or shine, and guests may bring chairs and coolers (no glass).
We're pretty familiar with the Kenlake State Park area because it's one of our favorite places in the entire state. If possible, plan to arrive in the area a day or two before the festival begins and stay a day or more after it's wrapped up. There are so many things to do and see in this region that two days is never enough.
Below are just a few of the attractions near Kenlake State Resort Park.
Kenlake State Resort Park actually has one of the best lodge restaurants in the Kentucky State Park System – especially when you order "off the menu." Their hamburgers and fried catfish sandwiches are better than you'll find in most restaurants – and the prices are very reasonable.
The Brass Lantern – A very classy restaurant with dinners you'll talk about for years to come. Seriously, the food is THAT good.
The Willow Pond (Aurora) – fried catfish, beans, coleslaw, grilled catfish, baked potatoes… good food at really good prices. Like The Brass Lantern, Willow Pond is a "supper" restaurant. When eating at The Willow Pond (and loving the catfish and hush puppies), you'd probably be surprised for me to tell you this, but it's true: this Willow Pond used to be even better! The fried catfish and hush puppies are still good, but for years they were so good they nearly brought tears to your eyes.
Belew's Dairy Bar is a little further up the road, but more than worth the couple of minutes it takes to get there. This drive in restaurant is a legend in this area for good reason. The burgers are fantastic and the ice cream, milkshakes and other treats will remind you why we all scream for ice cream in the first place.
In front of The Hitching Post (Aurora) you'll find the best hot dogs you ever had in your life at an adorable little stand owned and operated by a couple of lovable Yankees! These characters are as friendly and personable as their hot dogs are delicious. You HAVE to stop for these hot dogs at least once. I say "once," but trust me – you'll go back again! Here's the game plan: Enjoy the best hot dog in the world, then head inside the Hitching Post for homemade fudge. What about that plan doesn't scream YESSSSSS?!
Come on, how can you pass up an opportunity to meet good people… darn good people?!
Cafe Chas in downtown Benton is a new restaurant that'd be a perfect 10 out of 10 even if it were owned and operated by scoundrels. But the fact that they're wonderful people sweetens the deal. The wraps, sandwiches, and pasta salad will make your taste buds feel like they're having their own little festival. And if (like me), you live for great tea and coffee, Cafe Chas will honestly cause your cup to run over. They give Starbucks a run for their money with specialty drinks, teas, and coffee that are uncommonly fantastic.
Again, I hope you'll arrive in the area early and stay late. You won't regret a minute.
If you have any questions about the area (things to do, places to eat…) please don't hesitate to contact me. Either send me a DM on Twitter on my Personal account (@JoiTaniaSigers) or e-mail me at joisigers @ aim.com.

FIRE- brings light, warmth, love, gives direction, tests faith, represents wrath, is a holy calling, preparation for holy work, conveys truth and brings pardon.
God has called us to a life of accountability and worship.
Thesis: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
This is the first message in a series shared by 4 preachers on the Trinity and seeks to motivate listeners to deeper devotion and service to God.
God is a consuming fire - just yet merciful. We fall away from him at our peril.
God is holy, and not to be trifled with. We wisely enter His presence with the awareness that He is a consuming fire.
If God is a consuming Fire and you have been baptized with Fire and the Holy Ghost, are you on Fire for God?
Fear overshadowing God's love threatens darkness but Jesus raised us up so that God might deliver us each day.
Are we simply consumers, taking from God what He gives? Or are we consumed by Him so that He can touch others through us?

Overview: Ting is a relatively new (launched Feb., 2012) Sprint and T-Mobile mobile virtual mobile operator (MVNO) which buys service from Sprint and T-Mobile and resells it to individual customers. Ting is a part of Tucows, Inc., a major Internet domain registrar and the operator of the Tucows Downloads site. At the end of Sept, 2015, Ting had approximately 122,000 active accounts and 192,000 active devices.
CDMA accounts: Ting CDMA operates on the 850 (b 26) and 1900 (b 25) Mhz bands with 1RTT, EVDO and LTE data support. 4G LTE on the 850 (b 26), 1900 (b25) and 2.5 Ghz (b 41) bands. Ting CDMA also has voice roaming on 1900 Mhz and 850 Mhz CDMA networks.
Plans: Ting has an unusual pricing model. Users are billed for separate buckets (which Ting calls tiers) of voice minutes, texts and megabytes of data. If you use up all the minutes, messages or data in one of your buckets, Ting will automatically upgrade you to the next larger bucket for the current month only. You can block these automatic updates by setting usage and/or spending limits that cut off your data or messaging for the rest of the month when the limit is reached. Here are the available tiers.
Ting also charges a $6/month service fee regardless of usage and adds a number of taxes and fees that vary by state and run anywhere from one to ten dollars per month. Data, minute and messaging tiers can be shared across multiple phones or users on the same account.
If you find Ting's pricing confusing, here are a few examples.
International Rates: It appears that, unlike most operators, Ting charges the same rate for international calls to mobile phones as it does to land lines. This results in very reasonable rates (full list) for calling mobile phones. Sample rates per minute: Canada 1¢; Mexico 1¢; China 2¢; UK 2¢; Philippines 11¢. International calls also reduce your available minute tier balance.
There is no extra charge for sending or receiving international texts.
International Roaming: Ting (GSM only) supports roaming in many countries (full list and rates).
Canada, Chile, China, Columbia, Costa Rica, Denmark, El Salvador, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, UK - voice 30¢/minute, texts sent 12¢ each. texts received free, data: 30¢/MB.
France, Lebanon, Nigeria - voice $2.50/minute, texts sent 12¢ each. texts received 12¢, data: $15/MB.
Cruise ships - voice $6/minute, texts sent 12¢ each. texts received 12¢, data: $15/MB.
Coverage: Ting CDMA uses the Sprint native network. There is no extra cost voice and SMS (but not data) roaming on Verizon and regional CDMA networks.
Ting GSM uses the T-Mobile network with some off-network voice and text roaming.
Ting's interactive coverage maps does a good job of indicating where each type of data is available and lets you zoom in to see block by block coverage.
Devices: For a small operator, Ting offers a lot of different phones including several feature phones, over a dozen Android phones ranging from sub $100 refurbished phones to the latest LTE flagship models from Samsung, HTC and LG.
How to Buy: Ting phones can only be purchased from the Ting site.
Device must not be currently active on the Sprint network.
Device must not be blacklisted for non-payment or as lost or stolen.
BlackBerrys, Palm WebOS and Push To Talk phonescan't be used.
Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile and Sprint Prepaid phones must be used for 12 months on the service they were sold for (i.e., irgin Mobile, Boost Mobile or Sprint Prepaid) before they can be used on any Sprint MVNO, including Ting.
Ting GSM SIMs work in all T-Mobile phones and unlocked GSM phones that support t-Mobile's bands.
How to Activate: Activate online at ting.com/activate or by calling 1-855-846-4389. from another phone. Activation is free.
Payment Options: Currently the only payment option is auto pay using a credit or debit card.
Account expiration: plans automatically renew every month with plan and usage fees charged to your credit or debit card. If the charges are declined your service will be suspended.
Account Management: Ting offers an online dashboard displaying how much of your data, voice and messaging buckets they have used. Users can setup alerts that will disable data or messages for the remainder of the current billing period when usage reaches a specified amount.
Tethering: (using phone as a modem for a laptop or other device) is allowed with no restrictions.

Ting Cons: Pricing not competitive with prepaid monthly plans for heavy users, $6 monthly fee, no weekend customer support.
Updated 8/5/16 - Data prices lowered.
I believe the control offered by the Dashboard is a plus.
I also think the plan sharing capability combined with the Dashboard makes Ting ideal for families.
The $6 device fee discourages folks who activate and do not use, which increases overhead cost.
It also helps keep the cost per resource unit low.
Ting is averaging $150 profit per customer per year, so this is apparently working.
I find your comment of "Ting is averaging $150 profit per customer per year" to be difficult to swallow.
That number might be gross profit or operating profit (EBIT), but I highly doubt that it is net profit. Here's why: "The MVNO submits a proposed bundle of minutes and data to an carrier – along with a $15,000 fee — and if it's approved, the carrier then takes 25 percent to 30 percent off the top of every monthly bill, Khattak said. (source: http://gigaom.com/2012/06/25/why-are-mvnos-so-hot-right-now-thank-the-carriers/) The network carriers like Sprint take 25% to 30% of Ting's revenues -- in pratice, the actual is negotiated and is confidential -- but a 30% haircut or commission makes it tough for Ting to make money.
You have to understand the $6 is akin to a fixed cost, but Ting charges pay for actual use. This is a difficult concept for people to understand. I have Verizon 4G LTE data service where I get 5GB of data for $50 a month -- my cost is $50 each month regardless if I use 1 MB or 5 GB. If I use 2GB for the month, then, my cost per GB is $25. Verizon charges a sunk cost plus overage fee, meaning it's step function (i.e the fixed costs are bundled into the fee).
Ting also has a step function with a low fixed cost and variable cost pricing. Therefore, you can back into (or solve backwards) to the $150 profit number.
CEO was quoted as saying $100-$150 profit per customer per year.
He did not say gross or net.
The $150 per user figure is from a Tucows investors conference call Nov. 13, 2012 (transcript - free registration required to view).
In the call, Elliot Noss Tucows CEO, said "We've said in the past that our customers were in the $150 a year range to us and we've told you what the gross margin is and that $150 by the way is a margin number, not a revenue number."
Gross margin is sales minus cost of product and excludes fixed costs like rents, office supplies and taxes so the actual profit is less than $150.
"So far Ting has not disclosed how many customers it has, but Ting CEO Elliot Noss told AllThingsD that the number is not large enough to be material to parent company Tucows. "Things have been very good for us," Noss said, adding that Ting customers produce $100 to $150 per year in profits. We're very pleased,"
Regarding subscriber numbers, in the Nov 13 earnings call (transcript) Noss said, "During the quarter, we added approximately 3,000 new accounts and approximately 4,500 new devices bringing the total number of accounts to more than 5,000 and the total number of devices to more than 8,000."
Regarding Ting BYOD, I was able to bring over 2 of six Ptel phones, Sanyo Zio and Pro200. I bought these two from ACRS, so they may have been Sprint phones.
The others were labeled as Boost in the Sprint system, even though Sprint sold them to Ptel, and they were listed in the plbl database for MVNO use. The ESN checks out OK at first, but Ting cannot bring them over to activate them.
I think a lot of ex-Ptel customers would like to move to Ting, but apparently cannot if they bought a Ptel phone that was originally destined for Boost. Maybe Eco or Kajeet can activate them.
Update: Ting needs any phone with a Boost ID to have its ESN in the Sprint SPCS database, not the PLBL database, in order for their automation to 'bring it in' for Ting use. This is true even for ex-Boost devices sold as refurbs by Ting that are moved to other MVNOs, using the PLBL, then brought back to Ting. These phones still retain their Boost ID in PLBL. Sometimes Ting tech support can move a device in manually (or move the ESN so the automation can do it), sometimes not.
Know the cost of testing devices you move to Ting.
You are not charged to activate a second device until the end of the billing cycle. Then you pay a pro-rated monthly device charge ($6 x the portion of the month that device was active).
At the end of the billing cycle, you pay government taxes on each device, without pro-ration.
Example: in your state, you pay a monthly telecom tax of $3.50 per device and a $1 e911 fee per device. You pay federal taxes.
If you use a second device for two weeks and then deactivate it, you would pay: $3 device fee, $3.50 telecom tax and $1 e911 tax; $7.50 plus any applicable federal taxes.
Ting is signing up people for details about their upcoming iPhone plan. Bring your Sprint iPhone to Ting soon. No need to pay $40-$60 to flash your iPhone 4 to Verizon.
Here is a pretty good preview from the Ting blog.
The key word is likely, "Ting will likely get the iPhone some time soon". I hope it happens but Apple is a tough negotiator and might not offer the iPhone to Ting on terms it considers reasonable.
Also, the blog post is about iPhones sold by Ting not BYOSD iPhones. BYOSD would require Sprint's approval.
Right. When you sign up for details about the plan they ask whether you are interested in BYOD a Sprint iPhone to Ting. Maybe they just want that info as leverage in their ongoing discussions with Sprint about the iPhone. I think they may think they are close, or they would not have started the signup page.
Ting now will activate your HTC One or Galaxy S4, and is selling them via Glyde.
Ting is signing people up for notice soon that they can use a Sprint iPhone 5S or 5C with Ting service. Ting can provide the LTE SIM card.
Ting is offering a $100 referral credit through Dec if you buy a phone or BYOSD (account credit).
The Ting user who refers you also gets a credit.
I'm interested. Any readers use Ting and want free service credits for posting a referral link here?
Sprint MVNO TING adds support for GSM service, likely with T-Mobile.
Ting starts T-Mobile service in Feb 2015. Free voice and sms roaming on AT&T and regional carriers. You can have a Sprint and a T-Mobile phone sharing the same Ting account. If your phone supports both Sprint and US GSM carriers (e.g., Nexus 5) you can use two Ting SIMs with one phone (two phone numbers). Sign up on the Ting site for updates on their GSM service.
The new rates apply to both Sprint and T-Mobile network service. For example, Canada drops from 15c/min. to 1c. UK goes to 2c from 52c. Mexico drops to 1c/min. from 28c. Just dial the international number; no extra dialing required. You can turn off the feature in your Dashboard.
I've verified that the international rates listed in the post are current.
Which coverage is larger? Ting's Sprint network with roaming on Verizon network, or Verizon native network. What about Verizon postpaid network with roaming?.
There's Sprint coverage in some areas that don't have Verizon native coverage so Ting with roaming should be better than Verizon native and close to Verizon postpaid. But Verizon postpaid includes data roaming and Ting doesn't.
Dennis, following your above reply, is Ting coverage with roaming same as Sprint's postpaid coverage?
Ting doesn't impress me much. I'm sure it works for parking phones and minimal users but nothing impressive other than that.
With the $6 base charge, it's an expensive way to park a phone.
My brother and his wife use Ting and it works well for them. Most months they pay around $30 for the two lines. Twice a year when they travel, their bill goes up, but not that much. Still cheaper than what they previously paid for one line on a big name.
Ting just lowered mobile data rates for every tier after the $3 one. Tier 2 is $10 vs. $12; 1GB is $16; and 2GB costs $20 vs. $29. They charge $10/GB after the 2GB now.
Are there any promotions for new customers?
New R+ customers coming from Ting can give you a referral link to get a $25 credit, and they get a $50 credit for the first new customer who signs up.
There are many people advertising their referral links on the internet; just do a search if you have no friends who just moved to Ting from R+.
When you go into Your Account - Billing Activity, do the Monthly Bill amounts show as positive or negative?
The bills are positive. Credits are negative. This is in the Ting app.
Kind of what I thought. I moved over from Ring Plus.
I got a $35 credit for doing so, it shows up as -35.
"our current bill is $12.00 and closes on Apr 20 (10 days). Your $54.56 credit will knock that down to $0! "
Do they often do these kind of math mistakes???
You are looking online, not in the app. It does show as a negative amount on the monthly bill online. I have never had a billing error in several years with Ting, but since this one is in your favor, relax. If it bothers you, call or chat with them and ask them to fix it for you.
I just hope it happens every month. Apparently, a $35 credit and then the actual amount subtracted from it. I will keep my Ting account a couple of months longer.
Roam Mobility is Ting's new MVNO service for Canadians visiting the USA. US citizens can order their daily, monthly or multi-month plans with a US credit card. They also sell data-only plans. All voice plans include calling to Canada and the USA. Data is unlimited for monthly voice plans, with reduced speed after high speed allotment is used. You can buy and schedule your service to start in the future. Service is on the T-Mobile network.

Home Archive Maize by the bucketful for household producers
Maize by the bucketful for household producers
By Mike Burgess
An Eastern Cape distributor is marketing a unique maize seed pack to communal homestead maize producers with notable success. Mike Burgess visited Border Seed Distributors to investigate why this product is revolutionising household maize yield in the former Transkei.
When Christo du Toit took over Border Seed Distributors (BSD) from his father, Charl, 12 years ago, he realised there
was a need to supply maize more effectively to homestead garden producers in the former Transkei. One of their main difficulties, he explains, was to purchase just enough maize seed, together with herbicides and pesticides, for garden plots of up to 1ha as they could not afford to overspend on inputs.
Then Monsanto South Africa, of which BSD is an agent, began marketing Monsanto Roundup Ready maize seed in small quantities – enough for 0,25ha – and Christo had the idea to market the seed along with the appropriate chemicals in a plastic bucket. The latter would allow the farmer to mix the herbicide and pesticide in water. And so Christo's 'maize bucket system' was born.
By the 2013/2014 season, the success of the system had convinced small-scale producers across the former Transkei to purchase 156 maize buckets, resulting in an average yield of 6,8t/ ha. Growers bought 187 buckets for the current 2014/2015 season and a similar yield is expected.
Each bucket consists of a 2kg packet of Roundup Ready maize seed (yellow or white), 1l of Roundup PowerMax herbicide, 100ml Avi-Sipermetrin EC, safety gloves, goggles, a 50ml measuring cup and an instruction sheet in the form of a waterproof sticker on the bucket.
The value of a partnership
In the past decade, global maize yields have been revolutionised and today yields of up to 20t/ ha under irrigation have been achieved in South Africa. Supplying leading-edge cultivars, including Roundup Ready (RR) varieties, to household producers will have a significant impact on their yields. "We looked at the potential of the entire Transkei,'' he says. "If you take each person in the Transkei who has a garden plot where he plants maize and veggies, there's huge potential.''
In 2012, Christo decided to sell the bucket system idea to Monsanto and agricultural chemical distributor Wenkem, and after a few meetings in Johannesburg, both companies agreed to get involved. He also distributes products for Wenkem.
From the outset, it was decided that the bucket be well-branded and contain detailed instructions for farmers to ensure effective production. The instructions are written in two languages, English and Xhosa, and are supported by diagrams. When the 2012/2013 season arrived, Christo, armed with newly-arrived buckets, started a marketing campaign by planting demonstration plots.
He also attended information days in conjunction with the Eastern Cape Department of Rural Development and Agrarian Reform (ECDRDAR) and various local government structures in the Alfred Nzo, Chris Hani and Amathole District municipal areas.
During the following season, almost 160 buckets were sold to homestead producers from Matatiele in the north of the former Transkei to Butterworth in the south. For producers who had switched to the bucket system, dryland yield in Mount Fletcher jumped from an average 2,3t/ha in 2013 to 6t/ha in 2014. Further south in Qamata, record yields of 10,7t/ha and 11,2t/ha were achieved under irrigation.
"It's like chalk and cheese,'' says Christo about the difference between traditionally-grown maize and the RR maize crops grown using the bucket system.
The target market
Nokwanda Dyantyi (57) from the Qamata region has only praise for the maize bucket system.
"These buckets work very well," she enthuses.
"I reaped an average 10,7t/ ha of beautiful clean maize. With these buckets, you don't struggle at all.''
Nokwanda says that besides the record yield she achieved, she was highly impressed with the fact that she had to do little or no weeding in her yellow and white maize plot. The link between weed management and yield is known by every homestead producer only too well, according to Siyabonga Ntozini from the ECDRDAR.
"One of the major challenges with our farmers [in the former Transkei] has been weed management,'' he explains. "It has been a major suppressor of yield across the region but with the introduction of Roundup, the challenge of weed management has subsided and people are gaining more returns in terms of yield."
The buckets are also subsidised by Monsanto and Wenkem. Each costs R376 incl. VAT and has enough maize seed for 0,25ha. To plant a hectare will therefore cost about R1 500, provided that land preparation was done using draught animals and planting and spraying was carried out by hand. "It's an inexpensive way for them to achieve a decent yield,'' explains Christo. "Everything is plain and simple.''
Harry Matebese, an agronomist and salesman at BSD, will be marketing the buckets in the former Transkei.
The Future of the system
According to Siyabonga, the maize bucket system has a bright future in the former Transkei if government policies continue to support small-scale growers. ''The department doesn't focus only on those with bigger lands but there are also projects focusing on those with backyard gardens. It's as if the buckets are tailor-made for that," he says.
In addition to engaging in regional governmental structures, Christo is also keen to market the buckets through the retail environment. At the moment, for example, he is in negotiation with the Boxer and Spargs supermarket groups to market it through their hardware divisions. Their buy-in will allow the buckets to be distributed efficiently across the region.
Neded: a new generation of growers
Notwithstanding the potential offered by the maize bucket system, sustainable, long-term production will depend on hardworking elderly homeowners such as Nokwanda being replaced by a new generation of eager homestead garden maize producers, says Harry Matebese, an agronomist and salesman at BSD.
"My main worry is that in the future, we'll run short of people who have a passion for agriculture because the old people are going,'' he says. "Youngsters don't care about agriculture. The government needs to motivate the younger generation to go back to agriculture and try and create opportunities.''

Face the Truth Beats the Heat
Ann Scheidler August 15, 2002
For the first two years of the Pro-Life Action League's Face the Truth Tour, a joint venture with Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, the tour was held in July and temperatures soared into the '90's. For 2002 we moved the tour to the last two weeks of June. But the hot weather followed us. After a cooler than normal spring and early summer, as soon as the starting date for Face the Truth rolled around, summer hit with a vengeance.
For several months before the scheduled Tour Monica Miller, director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Joe and Ann Scheidler, directors of the Pro-Life Action League and Tim Murphy, special events coordinator for the League, met and carefully planned the Tour that would reach Chicago and rural Illinois in June.
Miller initially selected the twenty-seven sites, working with pro-life leaders in some of the targeted areas to choose the most effective intersections. Taking a cue from the Tours in Maryland and Pittsburgh, the planning team recruited captains from the selected sites to help promote the Tour and develop media interest. Then each member of the planning team visited several of the sites to determine which intersections worked best and where the warning signs could be effectively posted.
The first stop on the 2002 Tour was Brookfield, IL. Fifty-one Tour participants donned our new red Face the Truth 2002 T-Shirts with the message on the back, "Abortion Stops a Beating Heart." There was no opposition and the first stop on the Tour was a breeze. At Bellwood, the second stop, Troy Newman and Ken Reed of Operation Rescue West joined us from Wichita, KS and Sacramento, CA respectively. The Bellwood police commander argued with Joe Scheidler about the use of graphic pictures, even though he admitted he had to uphold the pro-lifers' first amendment right to hold the signs on the public right-of-way.
At Norridge, the 3rd stop of the day, Joe Foreman joined the Tour. Foreman, a former Operation Rescue director, is now a full-time pastor in Virginia. As the signs were being set in place someone came along and threw eggs at the poster of Jesus mourning an aborted child and at one of the graphic aborted baby pictures. It was reported to the police, but the perpetrator had driven away too quickly.
Police Chief Brings Donuts
Day two took the Tour out to Frankfort, IL, a charming community about forty miles west of Chicago. Police commander Cal Pickup, who had contacted the League office prior to the Tour, was on hand and had no problem with the way we set up the display, nor with distributing literature. Another forty-mile drive brought us to Manteno, where police Chief Rory Keiger brought out a huge box of donuts and sweet rolls for the participants in the Tour. Response was very positive in Manteno. On the police chief's recommendation, several "tourists" went to Yanni's Cafe, for lunch, where they were treated royally by the mother and daughter owners of the restaurant.
Bourbonnais was the last stop of the second day. At the intersection we had chosen was Olivet-Nazarene University, with a large, mostly empty parking lot. Since it is a Christian college we expected no negative reaction to using the parking lot to unload the signs. We were sadly mistaken. Almost immediately a security guard informed Tim Murphy that we would have to move the cars. At that point, Troy Newman, Ken Reed, Joe Scheidler and Joe Foreman decided to have a chat with the University president and get his O.K. for the use of the parking lot.
Christian University Not an Example of Christian Hospitality
The University president was a cautious man, very concerned about "liability issues." In spite of the eloquent attempts of the protestant pro-life leaders and Joe Scheidler's complaint that the Catholics have to carry the brunt of the pro-life efforts, the president persisted in his refusal to be cooperative. Joe Foreman finally compared him to Caiphas, the high priest who thought it was best to have one man die rather than jeopardize the welfare of the rest of the community. Foreman told him that he was not being asked to hold a sign, or to endorse the display, or to give a speech or be arrested. He was only being asked to donate a piece of his parking lot for an hour and a half. "You have been tested," said Foreman, " and you have failed the test." Newman told him that he cared more about his "stuff" than about the thousands of unborn babies who are dying every day.
The group ended up parking in a Catholic Church parking lot around the corner from Olivet-Nazarene. There was no objection from the Catholic Church, the parish of the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In fact, when Newman and Reed were leaving the site at the end of the demonstration, they noted a couple of University employees retrieving their cars from the Catholic Church parking lot.
The Bourbonnais captains did a good job of promoting the event and Fr. James Holup of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish in Ashkum brought several parishioners.
While Scheidler was holding a sign at Bourbonnais, a local resident approached him and said that she wanted to get a pro-life group going. The Tour was just the motivation she needed to get started. She will contact the League and start her group this fall.
Fr. Peter Joins the Tour for the Most Hostile Day
On Friday, June 21, Fr. Peter West, of Priests for Life, joined the tour. The first stop of the day, Plainfield, was relatively uneventful. Lots of literature was distributed. Reception was pretty positive. Andy and Kathy Puch from Channahon had served as captains and promoted the Plainfield site.
The next stop, however, Braidwood, IL stands out as the benchmark for hostility. One local business woman claimed to own the public sidewalk and demanded that the police put the pro-lifers in the street. The policeman informed her that they could not be standing in the street and that the public sidewalk is, in fact, public.
The owners of a bait shop on the corner of Hwy 53 and Main Street were particularly unfriendly, shouting obscenities during the entire hour-and-a-half that the Tour was in Braidwood. Many passing motorists shouted vulgarities, gave the finger and threatened the pro-lifers. One driver actually claimed to have a gun and threatened to shoot Troy Newman.
One woman, with a child in the back seat of her car, went from demonstrator to demonstrator complaining in the foulest terms that her child had to see the aborted baby pictures. But rather than get out of the area where her child was seeing the graphic pictures, she chose to keep driving around until she had complained to everyone she could find. I offered to talk to her child about the pictures and our purpose in being there, but she refused.
The police would not allow the distribution of literature, in spite of the fact that there was a stop sign at the intersection and everyone had to stop there anyway. Kathy Mieding and Julie McCreevy blitzed the grocery store parking lot instead.
Wilmington started out calmly, but turned out to be very much like Braidwood. One woman assaulted Fr. Peter, shoving his sign and yelling at him. A resident called the police because he didn't want his children seeing the signs or talking to the demonstrators. Tim Murphy was able to defuse the situation and keep order.
The Truth Tour Two-Step
The last day of week one started out in Hammond, IN. We parked the vans in an apparently abandoned gravel lot next to a liquor store. Unfortunately the liquor store owner also owned the gravel lot and was not sympathetic with our cause. We had to move to the space behind a Taco Bell next door.
The police in Hammond were cooperative. A McDonald's manager was angered that part of the demonstration was along the street in front of McDonald's. The police officer informed us that we would have to keep moving to satisfy the city ordinance which stated that if two or more people assemble and block a sidewalk they must keep moving. I pointed out that we were not blocking the sidewalk and that since the signs are large if we ask people to walk while holding them, they are likely to run into someone.
I suggested to the police officer that we could define "moving" as taking a step forward and a step backward without ever moving the sign. He said that was fine and he would inform the McDonald's manager that he had done what he could and that we were complying with the city regulations. He later said that we only had to move once in a while.
When I went into a BP station to replenish our ice supply for the ice water, the cashier said she liked my shirt. She agreed that killing children in abortion was terrible. I gave her a brochure on the Face the Truth Tour and invited her to join us any time.
Calumet City showed much support for the Tour and a local Catholic parish, Our Lady of Knock, provided a wonderful lunch buffet for the participants. The pastor, Fr. Donald Fenske, stood at the parking lot entrance and directed us as to where to park and how to get in to the parish hall for the lunch. He then went from table to table and introduced himself to the Face the Truth participants. Organizers of the lunch were Angela Kvasnica and her team from the respect life committee.
The South Holland stop went very well. Lots of literature was distributed at the busy intersection of Il Route 6 and Cottage Grove Ave. One motorist who was especially delighted to see us was the director of the area crisis pregnancy center.
Chicago Sites Very Productive
Sunday and Monday were days off for a little rest and family time. The Truth Tour resumed on Tuesday, June 25 with two stops in the City of Chicago. The first at Cermak and Ashland was a great place for the distribution of literature. The Benito Juarez Community Academy is located right at the intersection where the Tour was set up. Hundreds of students attending summer classes were given pro-life literature. Local vendors were very supportive and even took some of our literature to hand out on their own. Three pro-aborts showed up, but they were quite outnumbered by the pro-lifers.
The second Chicago site at 95th and Ashland was also great for the distribution of literature. A police officer on duty told us about a great place for lunch, The Top Notch Café. Due to rain and lightening, we cut that stop slightly short and headed for the Top Notch.
Alsip, IL, the final stop of the day, was also our largest turnout to that point at least 55 participants. Police were on hand, but did not interfere with the distribution of literature. All four quadrants of the intersection were well covered by demonstrators in the red T-shirts.
Another hot and sunny day found us in Bloomingdale, IL. Mark Kennedy, the captain for Bloomingdale helped to bring out a turnout of about fifty participants to hold signs along Gary Ave and Army Trail Road. Carol Osburne mobilized parishioners from St. Isador's Catholic Church, and Mike and Mariann Evans helped promote the Tour in Bloomingdale. There were lots of police on hand, including plain clothes detectives, but no problems. The police were friendly and simply watched the demonstration from their various posts.
Elgin drew about forty demonstrators and was a peaceful and successful site.
Huntley, the last stop for Wednesday, June 26, was another great site for the distribution of literature. Sally Sullivan of Algonquin did a great job of turning people out in Huntley. The group was treated to a wonderful lunch in an old Victorian home in Huntley, hosted by Donna Britton.
Buffalo Grove Prepares for an Onslaught
Wheeling, IL saw several new recruits joining us for the first time. The police allowed the distribution of literature, but only from the edge of the street. No one was allowed to actually go into the street to hand leaflets to motorists who were stopped at the traffic light. The deputy police chief of Buffalo Grove, Steve Balinski, along with the chief patrolman, Ed Wagner, came to the Wheeling site to get a sense of what the Face the Truth Tour actually looked like. Both had contacted the League office during the week prior to the Tour and Balinski had had an extensive conversation with me on Wednesday, asking every question he could think of. He asked us to make a promise that we would not attempt to distribute any literature at all in Buffalo Grove, using his concern about possible traffic accidents as his reason.
The Face the Truth phenomenon is spreading to prominent national pro-life organizations. When Joe Scheidler recently taped an EWTN interview with Fr. Frank Pavone, Fr. Frank watched the League's "Face the Truth" video. He is so supportive of this approach to changing hearts and minds that he told Scheidler he wanted to organize a Tour in the five boroughs of New York Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island. Scheidler will join Fr. Pavone at the New York tour sites. The dates are to be announced.
Within days of Fr. Pavone's commitment to Face the Truth, Judie Brown of American Life League told Joe Scheidler at her conference in New Orleans that she too was convinced that Face the Truth was a highly effective program. Mrs. Brown plans to coordinate a Tour under the auspices of ALL and to promote the concept nationwide through her publications. Scheidler has been asked to pen an article for ALL's magazine to appear in the near future.
With regard to parking in Buffalo Grove, Balinski asked if we had made any specific arrangements. I told him we had not and would play it by ear. He said that as long as we did not park in the Northwest Community Healthcare facility lot, we should be O.K.
When we arrived in Buffalo Grove, there was a very large shopping mall parking lot bordered by a Jewel-Osco and an I-Hop restaurant. In just a few minutes the I-Hop manager came out to inform us that the police had notified her that we were coming to set up a demonstration and that we could not park in the lot. We told her we would very likely come in and eat at the I-Hop when the demonstration was concluded. She still insisted we could not park there long enough to hold the demonstration and then eat.
A Baby's Life Is Saved
As we prepared to move the vehicles, Monica sent a message on the walkie-talkie that she was in the BP gas station getting a cup of coffee. We had plenty of time before the 11:00 start time, so I headed to the BP to buy ice. I talked with Monica for a couple of minutes, then she pulled out of the parking space. I went in to get the ice and when I came out again another car had pulled into the spot next to me. After filling the coolers, I started to get into the driver's seat. A young woman in the car next to me spoke up. "It's funny," she said. "I was thinking about abortion this morning and now I see your T-Shirt."
I asked her if she had been thinking about having an abortion. "No," she said. "Just thinking about abortion." I asked her if she would like one of the T-Shirts and invited her to join the demonstration. She got out of her car and walked to the back of my van while I sorted through the T-Shirts looking for a medium size. I asked her if her friend in the car with her would like one. She told me that was her cousin. Then she said, "Actually I was thinking about having an abortion, but I didn't want my cousin to know I'm pregnant yet. But now that I've seen your shirt, I'm not going to have an abortion."
I gave her a hug and said, "God bless you." Then we went on our way. She and her cousin have the Face the Truth T-Shirts. And a baby was saved, by the grace of God. I was irritated with the I-Hop manager for making me move my car, but God used her to get me to the BP station where a woman needed to see my shirt and the message, "Abortion Stops a Beating Heart."
Linda Mirabelli and Barb Gunderson worked to get parishioners from St. Mary's in Buffalo Grove to join the Tour. We had an excellent turnout in that town.
Buoyed by the knowledge that a life had been saved that day, we moved on to Wauconda where we had sixty participants. Chief Dan Quick and the Wauconda police were especially cooperative. Several people handed out hundreds of pro-life leaflets. Sarah Crocco, the little girl featured in the Face the Truth video, joined the Tour in Wauconda, along with her mother, Jean. She presented Joe Scheidler with a photo of herself with him on the 2000 Tour. They joked about her film career. Jim Finnegan and Mary Ann Filkevitch did a great job promoting the Wauconda site to the churches and neighbors in the area.
Rural Illinois Sees the Tour
On Friday, June 28, the Tour headed for the farthest points Rochelle, 82 miles from Chicago, Ashton and Dixon. Deputy Chief Rob Ruck was concerned about visibility of the traffic from cars approaching the intersection at 7th St. from 5th Ave. He asked us if we could turn the signs each time a motorist approached the corner from the side street. We agreed that it was difficult to see oncoming traffic beyond our signs, so we cooperated and turned or lowered the signs each time a car came along. Traffic was not heavy, so this was not much of a problem. Rochelle is a lovely town with many large Victorian homes. People were very receptive to our message and no one shouted obscenities at the demonstrators. Several local people joined the tour in Rochelle.
Ashton was even smaller than Rochelle only 1100 residents but very friendly. Our captain there, pastor Dana Laberge, had promoted the Tour to his own congregation and the other churches in Ashton. He held a sign on Main Street and then led the group in prayer at the end of the demonstrations. The waitress at the Huddle Café asked if she could have a T-Shirt.
When we finished the demonstration at 1:00 we convened at the Huddle for the most economical lunch we had yet encountered. And it was delicious besides. Two painters who were also dining at the Huddle asked about our shirts and our mission. They were very sympathetic and asked if we could give them a couple of the shirts. One man was rather large and we had no more extra-large shirts. He told us he would take the large and it would be his incentive to lose weight!
Dixon, Il, the boyhood home of President Ronald Reagan was a highly successful site. One man drove by, then pulled in and asked if he could make a donation. Then he decided to park and join the Tour. He was grateful that we had brought the Tour to Dixon. The owner of the Dairy Queen at the intersection allowed us to park in his lot, so everyone patronized his store at the end of the day. The Dixon Telegraph published a fantastic picture across the front page of the Saturday paper, including the pictures of the aborted babies.
Naperville Sets a New Standard
The last day of the 2002 Tour started in Naperville. Four very capable and ambitious captains had promoted the Tour in Naperville Mary Ellen O'Rourke, Terry Fenelon, Cynthia Linn and Elizabeth Verchio. Over a hundred participants joined the Tour in Naperville, one of the fastest growing communities in the country. There were also about a dozen pro-aborts, but their signs were pathetically small and difficult to read and they were so outnumbered by enthusiastic families of pro-lifers that one almost felt sorry for them.
Among the beautiful children joining the tour in Naperville were the adopted twin grandsons of Eileen Dolehide handsome little boys from Cambodia. Dick and Sue Berquist brought their entire family of children, many of whom are handicapped, clearly proclaiming that all life is beautiful and precious. Three of the Scheidlers' grandchildren, Aaron, Aiden and Noah Miller held a poster featuring Aaron, on Ogden Avenue.
Christian Pastor Embarrassed by Display
At Oswego the pastor of the Methodist Church arrived after about a half an hour. He was concerned because some of his parishioners had called to complain about the exhibit and wanted to know if he was responsible for it or endorsed it. He wanted us to find a way to make it obvious that the church was not involved in setting up the display. I told him that if he were responsible he could be proud of it.
Although he said that was true, he pointed out that many of his parishioners were not pro-life and volunteered that he himself was a strong supporter of Planned Parenthood because he thought they did great work. I informed him that Planned Parenthood is responsible for over half the abortions in America. He said that people who worked with Planned Parenthood had told him that that was not true, but when I told him that their own newsletters and statistics claim credit for performing and referring for at least half the annual abortions, he had no response. However, he did not ask us to remove our vans from his parking lot.
A League member named Tom decided to attend Pastor Fred's service on Sunday, June 30. He made an announcement about the Tour, explaining that he had nothing to do with it and that he knew people had varying points of view on abortion and that that was all right. Tom gave the pastor a copy of "Sing a Little Louder," a pro-life brochure about a small church in Germany whose congregation was bothered by the cries of prisoners being taken by train to the concentration camp nearby. They solved their disturbance problem by simply singing a little louder when the trains came by. Tom plans to keep in touch with Pastor Fred and hopes to help him understand the gravity of abortion and the role of the Christian church in fighting this evil.
Sugar Grove was the last stop on the Tour. Ron Stoneberg offered to treat about twenty of us to lunch at the House of Plenty in Sugar Grove before setting up the demonstration. The local captain there, Richard Brennan, had contacted the police to let them know we were coming. Initially the police wanted to tell us where we could set up, but they decided to just let us set up as we did in every other town. The owner of a small strip shopping center insisted that we remove our cars from his parking lot. When all the pro-life cars were gone, it was obvious that there were absolutely no customers in any of the stores along the strip. Response to the exhibit was rather cool not much reaction for or against.
The 2002 Face the Truth Tour once again confirmed the absolute necessity of conducting these tours and showing our fellow Americans the truth about abortion. We shake their complaisance for just a little while, but they will never forget that they have seen the face of abortion, and it is ugly. Maybe some will get involved in fighting abortion. Most will go back to their everyday habit of ignoring the problem. But at least a few will reject abortion as the solution to an unexpected pregnancy. Some babies will celebrate a birthday because several hundred people took a couple of hours out of their busy schedules to stand along a street and make people Face the Truth.

The Grade II listed Burlingham Barn, in Tintinhull, had been part of the Council's asset portfolio which is undergoing a review, as part of the Council's commercial strategy, to ensure it offers the best value for residents and businesses in south Somerset.
The barn was identified as suitable for selling as it no longer serves any strategic purpose and will require substantial future maintenance costs to prevent its demise. Due to the barn's location, condition and it not being practicable for storage or business, the only realistic option was to invite offers via a local agent.
The barn now faces a brighter prospect with investment by the new owner planned in its future.
Councillor Henry Hobhouse, Portfolio Holder for Property, Climate Change and Income Generation said, "We are pleased this building has been sold to a local person who is looking to bring it back into use. The Council have considerable savings to make and could not find any strategic reason to spend the tax payers' money on maintaining a building that we simply no longer need to retain. It will continue to be protected through its listed status".
SSDC's Commercial Property Team is assessing a number of land and property assets currently owned by the District Council in order to ensure that all assets held are for community use, council operational needs, part of a strategic regeneration programme or purely for investment in order to generate income.
Each asset assessed by the team will be looked at to rate its performance under the above headings. Assets that don't meet a set of criterion will be offered for sale on the open market. Community Groups will also have the option to submit a business case to take on certain assets for their own use.
The income from the sale of assets will be used to invest in projects that create an income for the council to use in providing services to the district or to regenerate our towns and local facilities for the benefit of our communities.

As the newly discovered Omicron COVID-19 variant begins to invade cities around the world, Canada's expanded travel restrictions have focused on countries on one continent: Africa.
But according to health experts, the choice to single out African countries makes no sense – and could in fact endanger the global fight against COVID-19.
"For travel restrictions to work, they have to be proportional, they have to be fair, and there has to be a good reason for that… it's really not right at all," said Kerry Bowman, bioethicist at the University. from Toronto, speaking to Global News from Al Ghaydah, Yemen.
"It doesn't build confidence and really pits low-income countries against high-income countries. "
Omicron variant: Canada extends travel ban, requests additional advice
Canada imposed its latest round of travel restrictions on November 26 in response to concerns over the newly discovered Omicron variant. The government has banned travelers from seven African countries: South Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini.
Days later, as cases were discovered in Canada, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Hong Kong, among others, Canada expanded its travel restrictions to include three other countries: Nigeria, Malawi and Egypt.
Foreign nationals who have visited these countries in the past two weeks will not be able to enter Canada. Canadians and permanent residents who have passed through these countries in the past two weeks will have to self-quarantine, undergo tests at the airport and wait for their test results before being released from quarantine, according to the Minister of Health. Health Jean-Yves Duclos.
Canada Announces New Travel Measures to Address Spread of Omicron Virus Variant COVID-19
Canada Announces New Travel Measures to Combat Spread of Omicron Virus Variant COVID-19 – November 30, 2021
The federal government upheld its decision on Tuesday. Dr Theresa Tam, Canada's top doctor, said the decision to limit travel restrictions to 10 African countries was based on several "criteria".
"There may be some uncertainty in the overall epidemiological situation of countries and their ability to detect and respond (to the variant)," Tam said.
"These countries also have very low immunization coverage. "
She added that the COVID-19 positivity rate for passengers arriving from Egypt and Nigeria has increased and that all Canadian cases reported so far "have come from Nigeria."
Duclos echoed Tam's comments, stating that community transmission in the 10 countries "is of concern, not only to Canada, but to our international partners."
But the experts don't buy it.
"Scientifically, it doesn't make sense to impose restrictions only on Africa… because of Omicron," said Dr. Gerald Evans, an infectious disease specialist at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont.
"But then, on the other hand … governments want to be seen to be doing something when this happens."
The WHO has warned that the global risk of Omicron is "very high", with early evidence suggesting it may be more contagious than other worrying variants. The variant has a number of mutations in two key areas of the virus spike protein, according to Tam, including areas that could increase transmissibility and areas that could impact the immunity offered by vaccines. .
Still, Bowman warned that it was "very, very destructive" to "shut down" South Africa with restrictions – rather than praise them – after undertaking the "complex" sequencing work that led to the identification of the variant.
"It really could be a major deterrent," Bowman said.
"I think a lot of it is political, for the public. In addition, low-income countries are of less concern than high-income countries from an economic perspective. So I'm assuming that too.

Bowman was not alone in his hypothesis.

"It's important to remember that governments make decisions because they have to appeal to voters," Evans said.
"While some voters may be very motivated by a big picture, sometimes people only worry about themselves."
Experts fear the decision to hit these 10 African countries with travel restrictions will also hurt the much-needed vaccine rollout in the regions. The WHO expressed the same fears during a briefing on Wednesday, reiterating that it does not support the travel bans at this time.
"All the economies of these countries depend… on a fair degree of international trade. Lots of fruits and vegetables come from South Africa to Canada, "said Evans.
"If we nominally prevent travel from these jurisdictions to Canada to keep people who might be infected from entering, we could have an impact on these particular things. And then the problem you have is that those savings are suffering.
This economic blow, Evans warned, could have an impact on vaccine deployment.
"This ability to deploy the vaccine… is going to be affected by all kinds of unintended consequences due to the travel bans. "
Global vaccine deployment essential: experts
Ensuring a smooth global vaccine rollout is the only way the world can truly get past the COVID-19 pandemic – and it's a far bigger issue than the implementation of travel restrictions and enforcement. distribution of booster doses, said Evans and Bowman.
"When we have areas of the world with low vaccination rates, this is where the virus is going to continue to have continuous transmission, ongoing infections," Evans said.
"The real solution… is that we need to roll out vaccines globally, and we need to increase vaccinations globally to levels that we are seeing in parts of the developed world. "
US reports first case of Omicron variant as authorities review travel rules
This is because the virus "takes advantage of widespread infections, which causes viral replication, which allows it to mutate," according to Evans.
These mutations can sometimes be advantageous for the virus, for example, by making it more transmissible, or by teaching it to evade vaccines, according to several public health experts. The more COVID-19 spreads, the more replication occurs – and the more likely it is that a serious mutation will set in.
Until regions of the world that have little access to vaccines are able to immunize their populations, variants will continue to arise, according to Bowman.
"These environments are becoming factories of absolute variants, and we have done so little about it," Bowman said.

"I have seen unvaccinated health care workers. I've seen people who need oxygen and don't get it, in very poor countries, and they haven't received the vaccine. These people are going to die, "he said.
"The death rate from this is going to be phenomenal. "
To date, there have been over 263 million cases worldwide. In total, more than 5 million people have died, according to the WHO.
The government has sent doses to low-income countries around the world through the COVAX vaccine sharing initiative – which was reiterated by the Minister of Health on Wednesday – but Bowman said those measures did not go far enough.
"South Africa itself may have a lot of vaccines right now, but sub-Saharan Africa has absolutely none. And Canada has been relentlessly focused on child booster and immunization, "Bowman said.
"The greatest threat to all of us as Canadians has always been the international pandemic situation, and we have done next to nothing about it. "
When the dust settles, Bowman added, history will be the final judge.
"When this terrible pandemic ends and the books are written and the analysis really begins," he said, "Canada has to live with this legacy that we have made very, very, very little of a global perspective at the height of this crisis. "

Geologists may be about to recognize the #Anthropocene: Daily Bullshit, August 28-29, 2016
August 29, 2016 David Benfell
I've been reluctant to put out an issue of the (Almost) Daily Bullshit because I didn't feel like I had quite enough. I tend to feel it's a disservice when I promote these entries on Twitter and only have one story in the issue, sometimes even without any commentary whatsoever. And when one is determined to avoid covering the train wreck that passes for a U.S. presidential election cycle this year, one's choices are limited.
There is a "strong case" to be made for declaring a new geological epoch, the Anthopocene. Alas, it is built from unmistakable markers of humanity's dubious impact on earth. "[A]n official expert group . . . presented the recommendation to the International Geological Congress in Cape Town on Monday."[1]
Damian Carrington, "The Anthropocene epoch: scientists declare dawn of human-influenced age," Guardian, August 29, 2016, https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/aug/29/declare-anthropocene-epoch-experts-urge-geological-congress-human-impact-earth
The 'Brexit' vote may not be having the economic impact some feared, at least not yet.[2] If it is indeed not, this is yet another disgrace[3] for a discipline in denial of its own ideology.[4]
Josh Zumbrun, "When Economic Doomsayers Stumble: Cautionary Tales From Brexit, Grexit and U.S. Budget Battles," Wall Street Journal, August 28, 2016, http://www.wsj.com/articles/forecasts-of-brexit-gloom-may-be-overdone-1472406752
Realism is a political science theory which posits that countries act largely in their own self-interest. It also, at least according to one of my professors (I don't remember her name) at California State University, East Bay, overlooks non-governmental players: so-called 'terrorists,' non-governmental organizations, and others. So while I'm critical of economics for being ideological, I should also emphasize that that field is by no means the only social science guilty of the sin. Realism is probably (again according to that professor whose name I don't recall) the dominant theory among political scientists and students of foreign affairs. And realism isn't the only suspect political science theory. And when, in despair, I learned that political science also seemed ideological, it was at a time when I had already concluded that my own field—then communication—was heavily ideological.
Patrick Porter is almost certainly a realist. But he makes a point that no matter what your guiding principle, international law not only fails to advance that cause but may impede it.[5]

PeerFlow: AT&T Filtering: Has Tim Wu Not Been Paying Attention?
AT&T already said back in November they were thinking of policing "their network" for NBC and Disney.
Some people wonder if such a move won't destroy AT&T's status as a common carrier and accompanying protections from liability. Perhaps they haven't yet noticed that the current complacent FCC has changed the underlying legal infrastructure for the Internet in the U.S. Specifically, the FCC reclassified cable modem access as an information service in August 2002, wireline broadband in August 2005, and wireless broadband in March 2007.
Some argue that text messages might still be considered common carriage as radio messages, but Prof. Susan Crawford doesn't think so. Anything else seems to be fair game for the telcos and cablecos.
Prof. Barbara Cherry has spelled out how unusual it is to strip common carriage status from anything (never happened before in the U.S.) and how anti-trust is unlikely to help.
I suppose we could depend on the FCC's four principles of net neutrality as promulgated in August 2005 when they redubbed wireline broadband as an information service. But they're only principles, and not rules, laws, or even guidelines.
AT&T's latest move is only the logical next step in the media consolidation that has reduced ownership of most of U.S. media from 50 to 5 companies from 1983 to 2003. Consolidation also means control.
We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn't. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows.
Don't expect Congress to bail us out without sustained public outcry in the form of votes, because AT&T is the second largest contributor to U.S. Congress members; Time Warner, Bellsouth, and MCI all show up in the same list. There's a sudden surge of contributions to the same Congress members who are proposing retroactive telecomm immunity for illegal wiretapping.
The puzzle is how AT&T thinks that its proposal is anything other than corporate seppuku.
Could it really be that AT&T's master strategy is to try and become more like AOL circa 1996?
Why yes, yes it could.
Will this attempt to consolidate and monopolize backfire, perhaps in the way that the record industry's attempts to maintain its cushy consolidated market is wasting a lot of money and alienating its customers? Maybe, but music is a luxury; the Internet is a necessity. Oh, and if AT&T and its ilk can control content on the Internet, they can also bail out RIAA's business model.
Tim Wu points to legal limitations of liability on transitory digital network communications dating from 1998 as currently protecting AT&T unless it decides to do something like the filtering it is proposing. Watch closely what's in that pending retroactive immunity bill; if there's a gap in immunity even with filtering, it may get filled by that bill.
I am not a lawyer, but it appears that lawyers perhaps need to pay more attention to business history and politics, especially when dealing with companies such as AT&T that think in terms of decades and national and global monopolies.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media mostly covers net neutrality, if at all, as a funny little geek topic lacking the appeal of a political horse race or a love match. And that's the kind of media, including the Internet, we'll be left with, unless we have net neutrality. If we want a free press and open access to information, we want net neutrality. If we want competition in information access, we want net neutrality. For that matter, how about some more competitors.

Q: check memory leaks of c code in xcode I am writing an iPhone App which contains part of C,C++ code.
I allocate memory using malloc() and calloc().
How can i check memory leaks in this part of code using Xcode profile.
Can anyone please help.
Thanks in advance.

A: You can use Leaks and Static memory analyser to detect leak/static memory loopholes in code with Xcode.
Leaks - http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/InstrumentsUserGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html
Static memory analyser - http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#featuredarticles/StaticAnalysis/index.html

A: Please make sure that the allocated memory is deallocated using the free() method.
After using "malloc and calloc" to allocate memory is important for freeing up the allocated memory when finished with it.

A: You can use Instruments to find the leaks using the Leaks profile.
Here's a tutorial by Ray Wenderlich.

La Federación Argentina de Yachting (FAY) según el artículo 1 de sus estatutos,

Tutela los intereses generales del deporte que fomenta, en su carácter de Autoridad Nacional Argentina ante la International Sailing Federation.

Historia
El 20 de octubre de 1922 se fundó la Federación Argentina de Yachting por las entidades Tigre Sailing Club, Yacht Club Río de la Plata, Club Náutico San Isidro, Club Náutico San Pedro, Club Náutico Belgrano y Confederación Argentina de Deportes, y el 14 de mayo de 1928 la Unión Nacional de Yachting de Carrera por los clubes Yacht Club Argentino y Club Náutico Olivos.

Estas dos organizaciones coexisten con funcionamiento independiente y paralelo hasta el 3 de noviembre de 1930, cuando se liquida la Federación Argentina de Yachting. La Unión Nacional de Yachting de Carrera cambia su denominación a Federación Argentina de Yachting de Carrera el 19 de julio de 1934 y, finalmente, al actual nombre de Federación Argentina de Yachting el 21 de septiembre de 1970.

Hello! I'm currently planted in Saskatoon, SK with Brandon and our two daughters, Vera and Margot. I like the usual stuff: a meal, a scenic view, a cup of coffee, & quality time.
I shoot weddings and families with a relaxed attitude. I love simple portraits and blending into the background of activity. Most of my professional work is shot on digital camera but I often choose film for my travels and personal life.

Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken is a casual dining franchise founded in 1965 specializing in chicken, homestyle sides, and biscuits.

History
After the sale of KFC in 1962, Lee Cummings (the nephew of KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders) began developing his recipe, later to be known as "Famous Recipe." In 1966, Cummings, along with Harold Omer, started "Harold's Take-Home" in Lima, Ohio, where Cummings first introduced his Famous Recipe Chicken. Later that year, Cummings opened the restaurant's first franchise in Columbus, Ohio. Locations in Springfield, Dayton, and Cincinnati, Ohio followed in the coming years, as well as a unit in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

In 1981, Cummings sold the chain to Shoney's Restaurants in Nashville, Tennessee. He died in 2002 at the age of 80. Shoney's continued to operate Lee's along with their own Captain D's and Shoney's Restaurants until 1995, when Lee's was sold to RTM Restaurant Group in Atlanta, Georgia.

In May 2003, the chain had 29 company-owned locations and 125 franchised locations. In October 2003, Lee's Famous Recipes Inc. purchased the chain from RTM. In April 2013, Famous Recipe Group LLC purchased the chain from Lee's Famous Recipes, Inc.

With another month notched onto the hands of time, you are now a sassy 34 month old. Toddlerhood is the name of the game and you have the rules all figured out.
Your 34th month has seen you settle into nursery completely, on your last session before Easter you had trotted off before I could even kiss you goodbye. You didn't even notice me slip away, as you were playing so contently. In comparison to earlier weeks this was a breakthrough, and I hoped that the 2 weeks off wouldn't jeopardise the progress that we had made.
We had a bit of feedback from nursery…Not that I would actually call it constructive feedback. It was more of a very apparent observation. Things I already knew about you. What I was hoping for was to hear how you socialised with your fellow nursery friends, what you got up to during the hours that you were with them. We do have an upcoming parents evening at the end of June so I will be able to have a proper sit down the with nursery leaders, but I will be asking for further feedback before then.
When I come to pick you up you are always sat beautifully with all of the other children on the carpet. You have to stay sat there until they call your name, and when they do call your name you know that I am here to collect you. You run at me and give me the biggest cuddle. I always love coming to collect you from nursery for this very reason!
They have been spoiling you rotten on the last couple of occasions and have been bringing out cupcakes. Lots of the children are having birthdays, so you have been reaping in the goodies! Granddad asked you where his cake was the other day, and the reply you gave him actually shocked me! I have absolutely no idea where you have picked this up.. My only thoughts are that it is nursery! Your reply was no other than 'in my bum!'. Granddad and I both shot each other a look, and asked each other if we had just heard the same thing… Which we had!
With all of the birthdays going on at school, lot's of your friends are now turning 3. So all of a sudden you are no longer two, as you are utterly convinced you are 3. In fact whenever I tell you how old you are… You tell me that you are 3!
In terms of naps you are still having your daily afternoon nap, when we are not out and about during this time! Given the opportunity though and you are more than happy to take a snooze for an hour or so. You are still loving your car bed, and from the moment you go to bed at night, until you get up in the morning you stay put. These days when you awake in the morning and you know Mummy and Daddy are still sleeping, you will quietly get up and sneak through to find us. The first thing you will do is give me a great big kiss on the lips before climbing into bed beside me. I can't pin point exactly when you started doing this, but my morning usually starts with a big kiss from you!
At 34 months old you are still a complete and utter Mummy's boy. When I pick you up from Granny's you want to go to 'Mummy's house'. You want me to snuggle up with on the sofa to watch your new Frozen DVD, and you want me to tuck you in at night to read you a bedtime story. At bed time we are currently working our way through the collection of Harry's Bucketful of Dinosaurs, which you are loving. I have been altering Harry's name to Leo, which seems to be going down a treat with you!
Dinosaurs are fast becoming another love of yours, and if I am honest it makes a great change to Lightning McQueen and Planes! I have been sitting and watching you play with your growing collection of cars, planes and trains. It is wonderful watching you act out different scenarios and having a real game of make believe. What puts a real big smile on my face was watching you rein act the part of Planes where Dusty fly's through the train tunnel. You make all of the right noises in all of the right places, and it is clear to see just how into the game you are!
Your talking is coming on no end all of the time, you are switching out words that you used to say for certain things and in their place using the real words. Lightning McQueen was always a word that you wouldn't say but now say it as clear as day. All of a sudden this month you decided that you could say it, and that was it! You always had your own names for your Aunty Alice and Uncle Chris, Aiya and Cha. But even though they will always be Aiya and Cha, you do call them by their real names, and you are even calling Alice, Ali now!
You are getting to grips with all of your colours and can tell me exactly what colour my car is when asked. You know that Granny's car is Black and that both Daddy and Granddad have White cars. When we are out and about, I ask you what colour the vehicles we pass are, and you will answer as we go.
You surprised me the other day when we heard the familiar music of the ice-cream truck, by telling me exactly what it was. I had no idea that you even knew about the existence of ice cream trucks, and can't help wondering how you do know. You just giggle and tell me all about the ice-cream! How you know is still a mystery to me…But I can hazard a guess that it is something to do with your Aunt and Uncle!
The other weekend we picked up a second hand climbing frame for you, something for you to use in the garden at home. It was a bargain at £50 and we knew that you were going to absolutely LOVE it. So once Daddy worked out how it all went back together, you were free to climb all over it. You took to it straight away and wanted to see Jack from next door. You wanted to talk to him and show him your climbing frame!
These days as soon as we pull the car up outside the house you are wanting to see Jack. You tell me 'I see Jack!' over and over until I open the back door and you escape into the garden!
A big step forward in your 34th month was using the potty for the first time! After having the potty out for over a year, you decided now was the time to use it. We are still taking baby steps and potty training is not yet in full force… But we are getting there. Now I just need to convince you that pants are not the devils work!
So little man we are moving into your 35th month. One month closer to your 3rd birthday!
Where oh where is the time going?


Lovely imaging, Mark. I'm also thinking that if we choose not to clean our house, we have to move on to a new dwelling.
Yes, good point. Possibly even asked or forced to move!
