Pregame Six Pack: Into the storm
By Keith ArnoldOct 7, 2016, 4:04 PM EDT
As Hurricane Matthew hits the Southeast, the Irish head to Raleigh. And after a week of contingency plans and storm tracking, the focus now changes decidedly—winning a football game that'll present a new set of challenges for the Irish.
We've seen monsoon conditions. We've seen must-win weekends. And we've seen the Irish try and play good football in hostile environments. And even if nobody is going to confuse Carter-Finley Stadium with Clemson's Memorial Stadium, the 50-year anniversary of the home of the Wolf Pack will have the NC State faithful ready to make things difficult.
A week after moving on from Brian VanGorder and emergency installing a game plan for Syracuse, Brian Kelly and his young team face another big challenge. Finding a way to even their record to 3-3 on the road against a team with plenty of talent.
Let's get to the pregame sick pack.
Can the young Irish secondary play mistake free and still challenge Ryan Finley and the NC State passing game?
Notre Dame's secondary made some sweeping changes last week, a relative youth movement in effect with Troy Pride, Julian Love and Donte Vaughn sliding in at cornerback. And after a tough start against Syracuse, the unit settled in and played solid football, re-emerging as a basic-concept unit that went back to the basics to beat an offense that moved quickly and challenged vertically.
But that type of tweak won't be enough against NC State. Not with Ryan Finley completing 72 percent of his passes and the Boise State transfer still to throw an interception. Not with Eli Drinkwitz's tweaked scheme.
So after making it out of intro-level installation, the big question will be Notre Dame's ability to make progress while also guarding against mental mistakes—not to mention an advanced offensive scheme.
"They're a spot-passing team. They're really good at getting into open spaces. They have really good concepts that stress your defense," Kelly explained this week.
"You can't be a vanilla coverage team. You have to show them different looks. Or they'll just wear you out. You can't get off the field. You can't just line up like ducks or you're going to be on the field all day."
Last week the Irish were pressed into a tight situation when freshman Devin Studstill was ejected for a controversial targeting call. That forced Nicco Fertitta onto the field for his first substantial playing time, the diminutive sophomore holding up as a two-deep safety.
But if the Irish want to take their next step forward defensively, they'll need to incorporate a few strategic wrinkles while also protecting the freshmen that'll inhabit just about every high-leverage position on the field.
Julian Love thinks they're ready.
"I think our confidence is growing each day," Love told CSN Chicago's JJ Stankevitz. "At first we were nervous but now when we step on the field, we feel natural and it's something that we've all worked for and we're building off each other."
Don't tell Brian Kelly that his offensive line is struggling.
While Notre Dame's struggle in the trenches against Syracuse was noticeable, the results were never in doubt. That's because the Irish posted 50-points, moving the ball at will through the air as DeShaun Kizer had the school record for passing yards in his sights before taking his foot off the gas.
It was easy to ignore some inconsistency in the ground game when Josh Adams and Dexter Williams broke long runs. So when Kelly was asked what's ailing a running game that most expect to be more dominant, Kelly didn't just look at the five starters up front, he looked at the massive roster turnover on the offensive side of the ball.
"We got seven new starters. There's a lot of new pieces," Kelly said."I guess there's definitely inconsistencies, but I wouldn't throw it on the offensive line. I'd throw it on perimeter blocking, I'd throw it on decision making; coaching. There's a lot of factors there.
"The right side is evolving. Half or two-thirds there are still coming together. They're getting better. Those are two really good players on the left side, I think everybody knows that. One guy or two guys don't make an offensive line."
Colin McGovern will be back in the starting lineup, his high ankle sprain healthy enough. And while there's certainly credence to the moving pieces that Kelly references, a tough war in the trenches will be on display as the Wolf Pack's defensive front is the most disruptive the Irish have faced this season.
DeShone Kizer, from an opponent's perspective.
Mike McGlinchey has pledged to return for 2017. DeShone Kizer has made no such declaration, an NFL evaluation still evolving, and a choice that might be too hard to turn down.
But as we sort out the superlatives that have come from the mock draft community and an echo chamber that sometime's runs away from reality, Wolf Pack head coach Dave Doeren had this appraisal of the Irish's third-year quarterback.
"Well, he's got really good talent around him, to start," Doeren said. "They protect him well. He's only been sacked twice. He's got an offensive system that is well run. They give him a lot of opportunities to throw the ball down the field and guys make plays for him.
"As far as him personally, I think he's a very accurate deep ball thrower. He's tough, he takes some shots, but puts the ball right on the money. And he's competed on a big stage for a long time, so I think he's got good poise."
The defensive basics will start by slowing down running back Matt Dayes.
If beating Syracuse felt like scheming against an option attack, stopping NC State may sound easier, but it presents a bigger challenge. Namely, Wolf Pack running back Matt Dayes.
After having a big 2015 season derailed by injuries, Dayes is back. He's gone over 100 yards in three of four starts and is the focal point of Kelly's as his defense tries to master its musts.
"They've got a really diversified offensive scheme. I think, number one, you can't give up big play runs," Kelly said. "I think Matt Dayes is a game breaker. I think he can definitely be a difference maker in this game."
That means the focus is on Notre Dame's front seven, and the work we'll see from Daniel Cage, Jarron Jones, Nyles Morgan and Isaac Rochell will set the tone.
Because slowing down Dayes is the start. The Irish also need to find a way to limit Stephen Louis in the passing game. The 6-foot-2 sophomore has made some big plays, averaging more than 25 yards a touch against East Carolina and Wake Forest and is very difficult to tackle.
"I think those two guys are really key to their offense," Kelly said. "Finley is very smart and a very good quarterback. But Dayes and Louis are the guys that we have to focus on."
Can the Irish defense shut down a competent quarterback?
All respect given to Dayes and Louis, but Notre Dame's defense has made a lot of mediocre quarterbacks look like All-Americans. And Ryan Finley is no mediocre quarterback.
The Boise State transfer came east with offensive coordinator Eli Drinkwitz, both leaving the Broncos to join Dave Doeren. And after both his freshman and sophomore seasons were ruined by injuries, Finley—who graduated in three years from Boise State—now has three years of eligibility in Raleigh.
"He is a great manager," Doeren said last week, according to Blue & Gold. "He knows Coach [Drinkwitz], he understands why he does what he does and does a good job managing that part of the offense.
"He puts us in the right place a lot of times. I've said it many times. He throws a very catchable ball and he gets it out quick and allows his players to make plays. That's the best thing a quarterback can do is get the ball to the right people quickly and let them do their thing. He's done that repetitively and he'll continue to get better because he's a critic of himself and he works out it."
Irish offensive coordinator Mike Sanford knows both Finley and Drinkwitz from his year in Boise, though Kelly downplayed any help that might give the Irish staff. But winning might require the Irish defense to make Finley play down this weekend, something we haven't seen from an opposing quarterback too often these past two seasons under Brian VanGorder.
Rain + Special Teams + Turnovers = All causes for concern.
No, that's not an exact equation. But any time rain—and multiple inches are forecasted—is part of a football game, it's time to restate the obvious. Mainly, the Irish need to make sure that the weather doesn't impact their game.
That means taking great care of the football. That means being clean on special teams. And it means making sure that any huge game-changing plays are forced, not suffered.
Rewind back to last year at Clemson and the Irish didn't get out clean. The Irish had four turnovers, with three fumbles lost, in a game where only two points made the difference.
With Justin Yoon and Tyler Newsome off to a slow start, with CJ Sanders making some big plays but Scott Booker's coverage unit giving up a few as well, the basics are going to be a big part of the story.
Even if Hurricane Matthew's impact isn't going to be as bad as first feared, heavy rain is almost guaranteed. And on natural Bermuda grass, expect a sloppy track.
So the Irish, a 2-3 team that has struggled to do the ordinary things well, needs to play cleaner than the Wolf Pack to win.

GOP, Russia
House Republicans Look Pathetic Compared to Navalny
Days after all but ten GOP representatives showed their spinelessness by opposing impeachment, Russia's opposition leader braves Putin's wrath to return home.
by Benjamin Parker

The ten Republicans in the House of Representatives who voted to impeach President Trump are being hailed for their courage. For the most part, they deserve it. By putting the interests of the country ahead of their positions in the party and their re-election prospects, they were willing to take personal risks for the sake of a larger cause—including perhaps the risk of physical danger, as several of them have reported receiving death threats and one even took the precaution of buying body armor.
Rep. Tom Rice, whose vote for impeachment came as a surprise to many in Congress as well as in his South Carolina district, summed up the stakes well. When asked if he realized that his vote could cost him re-election in 2022, he responded, "If it does, it does." He added, "You tell my constituents I love 'em, and it's the honor of my life to do this job. I've tried to do my best to do the right thing and represent their interests, but if they decide that it's time for me to come home, that's OK, too."
Rice's calm confidence contrasts with the shameless cowardice of most of his Republican colleagues. Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin complained that House Democrats didn't give due consideration to his suggestion of a censure for Trump—as if, having survived one coup attempt and while preparing for another, members of Congress should have merely stated their displeasure with the president for inciting a mob that tried to assassinate them and done nothing to prevent his repeating the offense. Rep. Chip Roy, while conceding that the president committed impeachable offenses, whined with embarrassing flaccidity that the article of impeachment was poorly drafted.
Unfortunately for Gallagher, Roy, and the other craven House Republicans who wouldn't risk re-election to stop a coup, one of the clearest examples of political courage of the century has been playing out 4,000 miles away. Aleksei Navalny, the de facto leader of the Russian opposition, nearly killed last summer in a poisoning attack, boarded a flight back to Russia. Most House Republicans cowered, refusing to hold Donald Trump accountable; Navalny went back home to confront the regime that tried to murder him.
Navalny had been staying in Berlin since the Russian security agency FSB poisoned him before an August 20 flight from the southern Siberian city of Tomsk, where he was organizing with his Anti-Corruption Foundation. The flight made an emergency landing in Omsk after Navalny fell seriously ill, and he was later medevaced to Berlin, where doctors identified the poison in his system as belonging to the novichok family of chemicals invented in the Soviet Union, which agents of the Russian military intelligence organization GRU used against Sergei Skripal in England in 2018. (Skripal, who had been a double agent for the U.K. in the 1990s, and his daughter both survived their poisonings, as did a police officer who investigated the crime and a bystander, while one other person exposed to the powerful toxin died.)
Navalny had previously survived attacks in which unidentified assailants threw acid in his face, partially blinding him in one eye. He has repeatedly faced politically motivated criminal charges, and the European Court of Human Rights declared him a political prisoner for a house arrest designed to prevent him from leading protests. Russian authorities also held his brother in jail as a hostage for almost four years.
During his post-poisoning recovery, Navalny, who rose to prominence by releasing videos documenting the corruption of members of Vladimir Putin's inner circle, partnered with the investigative firm Bellingcat to find one of the FSB agents responsible for his poisoning. Navalny duped him into admitting his role in the operation, including disclosing the detail that the FSB agents had laced Navalny's underwear with poison.
Navalny's is only the latest in a long line of poisonings and other mysterious illnesses and deaths among those opposed to the Putin regime. In addition to Skripal, Vladimir Kara-Murza, an architect of the Magnitsky Act that sanctions human rights abusers in Russia and elsewhere, has twice survived being poisoned. Aleksandr Litvinenko, a former FSB agent who spied for the United Kingdom, was famously poisoned in London with the radioactive isotope polonium-210 in 2006. Boris Nemtsov, the former deputy prime minister of Russia and the leader of the opposition to Putin's authoritarianism, was shot just yards from the Kremlin in 2015. Anna Politkovskaya, an investigative journalist who reported critically on the Second Chechen War as Putin was using the operation to cement his authority, survived what she suspected was a poisoning on an airplane—only to be shot to death in her apartment building in 2006.
More than a dozen other Russian émigrés who crossed Putin or posed a threat to him have died under mysterious circumstances in the years since the former KGB colonel ascended to the presidency.
With all this in mind, and doubtless anticipating that the most likely outcome returning to his country on Sunday would be his immediate arrest (as indeed it was), and also knowing that political inmates in the Russian prison system can expect particularly harsh treatment, Navalny went home.
It is unclear how democratic Navalny's politics are. While his expressed Russian-nationalist sentiments are far from the enlightened liberal norms of Russia's freer neighbors, he is a passionate defender of the rule of law. But since Nemtsov's assassination, Navalny has been his country's most notable and successful critic of the Putin regime's corruption and election-rigging.
Young, educated, cosmopolitan Russians in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the people who turn out in mass protests against Putin, dream of Russia being a "normal country" with real elections and the rule of law. Tens of thousands of Russians have been willing to protest in the streets for this idea. In 2019, young students, some barely teenagers, braved police truncheons and mass arrests to demand basic civil rights. Navalny is willing to risk so much more: He has dedicated his life—and, as has been the case for his forebears, may give his life—for a vision of the Russian state that has never existed.
That is not the case in the United States. Gallagher and Roy were born and raised in a "normal country"—the "normalest" of them all. They didn't volunteer to fight for something that might be impossible, but to protect what already was. The oath they swore was purely defensive, "to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." The risks they willingly assumed weren't police beatings, poisonings with nerve agents, or assassinations by secret agents.
They were just asked to risk, as Rice put it, their constituents asking them "to come home." Anyone following Navalny's odyssey could only regard the spinelessness of congressional Republicans as pathetic. Gallagher, Roy, and the rest can't compare to Navalny; they can't even match the everyday bravery of Tom Rice.

Djokovic matter exposes Australia's corrupt legal system
Authority, Bureaucracy, Censorship, Editorial, Government, Law, Propaganda / 30 January 2022 31 January 2022
There are a fair few points in Australia's legal history that make zero (legal) sense, are ultra vires, or just plain and simple, laws have the not been installed lawfully.
In the 1980's the legal minds in the motherland were in fits of laughter at the at colony's bumbling legal 'professionals', more like amateurs with regards to a law being put into action, where the colony was labelled as being a "legal basket case".
The law being proposed was akin to a large umbrella over the colony, but the legal 'bubble headed boobies' had zero idea if it would be 'lawful', you know being put into circulation lawfully with all the checks and balances in place an all the i's doted and t's' crossed.
So the legal buffoons made up an couple of Acts, a local version and an imperial one of the Australia Act 1986, so when one refers to the Australia Act, the question would be which one?
IF the answer in court would be the Commonwealth one, then the next question that needs to be answered is, is it place 'lawfully' or as one would put it in legal speak "a Section 78B Notice", with reference to the Judiciary Act of 1903, or a more colloquial term a 'constitutional argument', but that's another topic altogether.
Journalism has been dying a slow and painful death in Australia, where now it's nothing more than government sponsored propaganda not different from Pravda or the Xinhua News Agency.
The Australian Government has bought the subservience of the 'news' outlets in the form of tax breaks, where now the news websites now contain nothing more than government approved propaganda stories and for revenue generation, clickbait.
The news outlets led you to believe that they obtained exclusive information or 'leaked' documents where in reality there is no such thing when it comes to those publications, as the information released to them is carefully chosen.
In relation to the Djokovic matter, the readers were lead awry with regards to the focus on the real culprit, that being of those in charge of the colony.
Australia's legal system is corrupt to the core, it's a farce, a bluff and many actions of those in government are not lawful to say the least.
On a few occasions the mainstream media was invited to attend court matters of section 78B importance, where an excuse was given that there was not enough resources available to attend to that matter, yet a media team was dispatched to follow an 'influencer' in Melbourne's Chapel St. shopping district.
The site constitutionwatch.com.au publishes FOI documents in relation to government actions and other information on the topic of law that is of paramount importance if one has anything to do with the colony's legal system.
See article of the title:
FURTHER LEGAL ARGUMENT TO SUPPORT THE DECISION IN THE DJOKOVIC MATTER BEING ABSENT JURISDICTION AND THE REQUIREMENT OF THE FEDERAL COURT TO REMAKE THE DECISION ACCORDING TO LAW.
In a recent Constitution Watch post we correspond with the Federal Court, cc'ing in various Serbian Consulates, Parliaments and Embassies informing the Court of their jurisdictional errors in the Djokovic case debacle, we present for you the reply and further response.
NOTICE TO THE FEDERAL COURT OF JURISDICTIONAL ERROR IN THE MATTER OF DJOKOVIC V MINISTER OF IMMIGRATION ~ MLG116/2022
Veliki Pozdrav,
Greetings Victorian Registry of the Federal Court Australia,
Thank you for your email dated January 19th, 2022 at 9:03 AM, I draw your attention to your statement;
"I would strongly recommend you attempt to obtain legal advice as the matters raised in your email would appear to raise complex legal issues."
First and foremost whether I obtain legal advice or not is irrelevant as it has no bearing whatsoever upon the court addressing it jurisdictional error. Any decision the court makes must be according to law and once notified of a jurisdictional error, which in law is properly regarded as no decision at all, the court his compelled and has a duty to correct the error pin law. Thus, the court is not functus officio as it has performed a function beyond its powers. Accordingly I demand you forward all of this correspondence for the perusal of Chief Justice Allsop. No doubt you are aware that Registrars are considered strangers to the court, (R v Davison 1954 HCA) and given that Registrars act administratively and not Judicially it is your duty to forward the challenge to the courts jurisdiction to a judicial officer of the court, in particular Chief Justice Allsop. For which we will his correspondence.
The decision in Djokovic has no bearing if I was a party to it or not, but as a question of the jurisdictional powers of the court and this most certainly is in the publics interest that all decisions made by this court comply with any constitutional limitation placed upon it. The practical operation of the Migration Act 1958 must be within constitutional limits, the Minister has exceeded these limitations and therefore affects all Australians. In relation to appeal of this decision it would only be open to the parties of the proceeding. However, this is not a question of appellate rights but rather of the jurisdictional authority to her and adjudicate on the matter. The judicial powers of the Commonwealth vested in the Federal Court pursuant to section 71 can only be exercised according to law, to act outside of the proper application of these judicial powers invested in the court must be exercised according to law. It is thus s71 that compels the court to reexamine its decision and whether it was consistent with the lawful exercise of the judicial powers of the Commonwealth.

Shift4 Payments Review
Shift4 Payments acquired three POS companies in 2018. They acquired Merchant Link, 3dcart, and VenueNext, and will likely rebrand as Shift4 in the future.
The company offers a 1-year contract with no early termination fee, and has received over 10 public complaints regarding customer service.
Shift4 Payments' terms and conditions were criticized by merchants for having a three-year contract term with a costly early termination fee.
Shift4 Payments' terms and conditions convey a one-year contract with a tiered pricing structure that costs 1.39% plus $0.10 for swiped transactions and 1.79% plus $0.10 for keyed-in transactions, and there's no early termination fee.
Shift4 Payments is the owner of several different POS companies, providing tailormade options for merchants across different industries.
Harbortouch, a Shift4 Payments company, previously provided 2 different POS systems to their merchants. Both systems had a $29 monthly fee, but the Onyx POS system has a $39 monthly fee.
Each POS agreement details monthly fees for products and services, in addition to one-time purchase costs for less expensive items.
Although the company's official terms are listed below, the language in the contract may vary from sales agent to sales agent and the terms and conditions may not reflect the verbal agreements of the sales agent.
Shift4 Payments' approach to POS sales has received mixed reviews. The company's revised terms and conditions have mitigated the expense of the company's previous policies.
Shift4 Payments is a relatively new company and there are few positive reviews at this time.
Although Shift4 has been active since 1994, it has received few complaints. The few complaints mention minor technical issues and software glitches.
Harbortouch's corporate advocacy program appears to allow them to reach out to dissatisfied complainants and flood Ripoff Report with many identical testimonials that obscure the details of complainants' complaints.
Harbortouch's CEO and sales reps have addressed merchant complaints in the company's own comments, stating that the company's large early termination fee is justified by the company's upfront expense.
Harbortouch is an active participant in CPO's complaint resolution program and tries to resolve complaints of their merchants.
In 2019, Shift4 Payments was sued for monopolizing the payment interface and merchant account services market for mid-sized table service restaurants, but the case was terminated in 2019.
Shift4 offers chat and phone support on its website and a manual. Customers who are concerned about the company's customer support should consider working with a top-rated provider.
Shift4 Payments, LLC, a company that handled payments for businesses using Harbortouch, has been an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau since 2013 and has received 70 of 145 complaints resolved to the satisfaction of the merchant.
Harbortouch hires ISAs to resell its merchant account services, resulting in a standard practice for unregulated or unsupervised agents to resell provider's services without effectively disclosing contract terms.
Harbortouch's heavily promoted free equipment deals require the merchant to sign an automatic 3-year service commitment, which may seem indistinguishable from having a long-term equipment lease.
Merchants who cancel before the install date are only responsible for a $250 restocking fee, whereas merchants canceling after the install date are responsible for the full cost of the service agreement.
A smaller number of merchants claim that they are not aware that they are responsible for full cost of service agreement.
Harbortouch offers rigorous agent training to its sales agents and has procedures in place to discipline agents that act unethically. However, despite these efforts, many merchants are still having negative experiences with Harbortouch's sales team.
Despite its acquisition by Harbortouch, Shift4 Payments should maintain a low complaint total. If you believe that you were deceived about the terms of your contract, a third-party statement audit can remove hidden fees.
Harbortouch's ownership group acquired Shift4 Corporation, but that ownership group remains in charge of the company. Shift4 Payments sells the same products as Harbortouch.

"Cansville" – by Alan Flurry
Posted on July 1, 2013 by Caleb
As the Cansville's newest creative director, can Toby write the play that will pump life back into the old theatre and its town? Or is the Cansville merely an opportunity for Toby to break away from the icons of his past and enter into the world of adulthood?
There's not really much to the plot of Cansville. Our protagonist wins a play-writing prize, earning an opportunity to write and direct a new work at the struggling Cansville theatre. Although he meets an eclectic group of theatre folk along the way, I always felt that they were just props – not just for the author to tell the story, but for the main character himself. All his interactions felt like he was staging a drama – a play about writing a play.
That said, I enjoyed the quirky characters and the actual process of creation. It was often amusing and some of the strategies our hero adopted to visualise mood and intent on stage were quite fascinating. And in the meantime, there's some love and lust interests, an aborted sexual encounter and a mountain of internal dialogue.
However, in the end, it's important to understand that the main character is not so much interested in the success of his play from an audience's perspective; it is the process that this play represents which is significant to him. This was made abundantly clear to me by the author's choice of conclusion. I think many readers might feel a little let down by the ending, but once I digested it a little, I realised that the author was actually doing me a favour. He had removed what could have been a distraction from my view so that I could more clearly perceive his intention.
There is only one real character in this story – our hero, Toby. The entire story is his attempt to enter adulthood, to break his ties with his barn-like home and his dependency on his cousin with which he shared it. I believe his ambitions are spelled out in the very first paragraph of the book:
The flightless usurper stalked about the yard, unsure but mindful of what would soon befall. If Toby can imagine anything, it's the abundance of himself just outside the room of his teenage years, a war chest in progress that he couldn't wait for but to be over. But the epoch would need to sprout wings, succeed, create a sufficiently destructive storm, even just to begin.
I feel like I understood Toby, but I found him to be a rather delusional character, destined to fail in his attempt to grow. Instead of synthesising the world around him and internalising what it tried to teach him, he threw all of his hopes for development into his creation and consequently, spent most of the novel missing opportunities.
It didn't surprise me to see that the final touch to his play was to come full circle, shooting an arrow into a wall. He remains the same undeveloped youth longing to grow up but not really understanding how, his attempt as staged as his play.
There's no doubt about it, the author knows how to turn a phrase. His prose borders on the poetic and some of the allusions and metaphors are beautiful. However, strangely enough, this strength was a weakness to me as a reader.
I had to work hard to grasp his meaning, at times making the journey more painful than I thought it needed to be. I sometimes ran into a string of paragraphs that I felt were echoing the same thought. What is challenging once, is only painful in redundancy.
I just felt that the story could have been explored powerfully and poetically, with more clarity and less words. This could be saying more about me than about the author and I'll accept that criticism, but without an objective truth, I can only offer my opinion. I felt that reading this book became more of a chore as it progressed, despite any appreciation I gained for the theme and for the author's very obvious talent with prose.
I think in a different situation, I might have enjoyed this book more. It might have benefited from multiple reads and a focused book club discussion. It was clearly a literary work and perhaps giving it more attention than I had time for could have brought out the best it had to offer.
Maybe, like Toby, I just missed my opportunity to grow.

Why garden? Why seed, plant, mulch, water, and tend?
Perhaps it is for the opportunity to enjoy momentary beauty. The instantaneous scenes which we see in the here and now, enriched by our efforts to create beauty about our homes.
After a summer of only only sharing my very best pictures, I share with you this evening you the here and now. Today. Just Now!
At the end of a long Saturday engaged in good work bigger than myself pertaining not at all to our gardens, I returned home to the fading light of early autumn. The last sunlight of a lovely day shining on a few fascinating scenes. With just enough time to grab the camera, I attempted to capture the momentary beauty. Nothing special – just the moment. Here and Now.
I hope you enjoy the here, as I share it now, including the awesome cows which seem to be enjoying a fine season in our neighbor's fields.
All picture shown in the order taken in, or well within, Jim's Garden, a few minutes ago….
Cheers. My most sincere wishes for health and happiness to you and yours.

STAMFORD -- Oh what a night it was at the Palace Theatre Friday as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons played hit after hit and had the crowd dancing in the aisles.
At 77 years old, the Jersey Boy shows no signs of slowing down and even joked about the music of today. "People really make love to this music?" he said. "No wonder why the kids are all crazy."
The annual Gala Benefit and Concert raised money for Dana's Angels Research Trust (DART), a non-profit organization that funds research for Niemann-Pick type C, a fatal, cholesterol storage disease affecting children.
Hosts Kathie Lee and Frank Gifford took the stage before the show and said they've been involved with the charity for five years. "Each year we're doing more and more and you're the reason," Frank said.
After meeting the Marella family, who started DART and have two children afflicted with the disease, Kathie Lee said she'd often think of them and the injustice of what was happening to their daughter.
Phil Marella said they hope to someday celebrate a cure for the rare disease. He said they're working toward a third drug trial and it's because of "your support" that they've had so much success.
Marella showed a video of his daughter Dana, now 17, and how the disease has progressed throughout her life. The early shots show her running and dancing, then using crutches to walk and finally sitting in a wheelchair.
"There's nothing worse than hearing you're child has a rare degenerative disease and there is no cure," Marella said. "And you can change that."
Regis Philbin joined Kathie Lee on stage for a live auction of tickets to meet Rhianna, a day on a sailboat, dinner at Rao's in New York City, a trip to Turks and Caicos, and dinner at the home of actor Chaz Palminteri. The auction raised more than $50,000.
Philbin said of his former co-host, who currently has a show on television, "I've never seen her so happy. She's laughing ... This is the real Kathy."
D.J. Scott Shannon of WPLJ introduced Valli, saying he's been performing for five decades, has had numerous top 40 hits, sells out concerts everywhere and is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Valli opened with "Dawn," then continued with hits such as "My Eyes Adored You," "Who Loves You," "Oh What a Night," "Sherry," "Walk Like a Man," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Bye Bye Baby," "Rag Doll," and "Let's Hang On."
About half way through the show, Valli said he's done many songs for movies, but the next one is his most popular. He then sang "Grease," causing the audience to jump to their feet and start dancing.
"It's wonderful," said backup singer Landon Beard, after the show. "I've been with him 8 years on tour. It's not so much a job as a family."
Prior to the show, there was a cocktail hour and silent auction, where celebrities and politicians mixed with the guests.
Singer and actress Michelle Phillips, of the Mamas and the Papas, who co-chaired the event, said she's been involved with the charity for three years.

"I think it's important to give your time and effort to a charity that has no real backing," Phillips said.
"It's an orphan disease. But if it was your child or my child, it would mean everything to have a drug developed, which hasn't happened."
Sonny Grasso, subject of the French Connection and movie producer, is cousins with the Marellas and attended the event. "I was a little helpful getting Franki Valli, but they're relatives and it's such a terrific cause," he said.
Several friends and neighbors of the Marella family, who live in Greenwich, attended the event, as well as other families with children afflicted with the disease.
Lorna Tyrrell, of Shelton, brought her 8-year-old daughter Naomi, who has the disease and was lying down in a wheelchair. She said she started as a normal little girl and now is on a feeding tube and has seizures.
"It's such a nightmare," Tyrrell said. "It's the worst thing, but she's still such a blessing."
Marella said victims of the disease start out normal and as it progresses they have more and more problems, such as balancing and learning. The medicine has slowed the progression in both his children, but more so in Andrew, he said.
While 1 in 120,000 children are estimated to have the rare disease, only 200 are known in this country because it's hard to diagnose. Phillips said she thinks drug companies don't want to develop a drug for a disease that affects so few children.
In 9 years, Marella said DART has raised about $2 million.
Marella said he was hoping to raise $400,000 to $500,000 on Friday night.

Books: Fan Fiction & Copyright
By Jonathan Clements.
A fandom, writes Aaron Schwabach, "is the most powerful marketing tool a work of fiction can have." Grow the right kind of grass-roots support, and authors can discover that works advertise themselves, that word-of-mouth becomes stronger than paid advertising. But fandoms can develop a sense of entitlement to the stories they read. What happens when fans start to push for more or threaten to write their own? You know it's going to be a fun book when one of the first authorities cited is Neil Gaiman, stating: "George R. R. Martin is not your bitch."
Aaron Schwabach's book Fan Fiction and Copyright: Outsider Works and Intellectual Property Protection is a witty thesis about the legal implications of fan fiction, citing landmark incidents from the world of publishing, and tracing changing attitudes towards fan-created works, from Gene Roddenberry's apocryphal laissez-faire exhortation to George Lucas ("Leave them alone, they'll make you rich!"), to Marion Zimmer Bradley's panic at the discovery of a fan-created work that was too close to her next novel for legal comfort.
Annie Proulx, a mainstream author unfamiliar with the customs of fandom, was horrified at the sight of her Brokeback Mountain characters appearing in "pornish rewrites", but as Schwabach notes, her undisputed copyright in the characters doesn't mean that nobody else can use them. "They are protected," writes Schwabach, "but not untouchable." Schwabach's arguments are so clearly set out that anyone – fan, publisher or author – can use them as a guide for establishing their position. Is a work protected? If it is, does the fan fiction in question actually infringe on that protection?
Surprisingly, Schwabach is prepared to include licenced spin-offs within his definition of "fan fiction" – a muddying of the legal waters. Certainly, there are similarities between working in licenced properties and writing a personal sequel to Akira that you only share with your friends, but at an organisational level, there is a world of difference. When I wrote the twelve-hour audio adaptation of Death Note (currently available in German, but coming in English later this year), I did so at the behest of the rights holders, who enjoyed strong powers of approval. If there was something they didn't like in my scripts, the representatives of the authors had every right to have it removed. Compare that to the tribulations of the author Larry Niven, who issued a cease-and-desist order against a fan who attempted to involve his kzinti space-tigers in "a sadomasochistic homosexual gangbang."
But this is a feature of Schwabach's legalese – his book's main title may refer to "Fan Fiction", but his broader compass is "outsider works", including all items derived from intellectual property, including such things as the unlicensed Harry Potter sequels, sneaked out by unscrupulous publishers in China and Russia.
Schwabach is interested in such areas, in part because fan fiction inevitably stands at a crossroads in "property, sexuality and gender." Many of the contentious issues around fan fiction arise from the sub-category of "slash", in which authors throw beloved characters into uncanonical and speculative erotic situations. He quotes at length an eloquent polemic addressing "the pathologizing of women's behaviour and women's desire… the history of othering and shaming the weirdos," pointing to the fact that so many fan fiction writers are marginalised members of society seeking a safe space to act out their fantasies.
There is, it turns out, little recourse in copyright terms to stop someone taking your favourite heterosexual superheroes and imagining them bumming each other. But if those characters are trademarked, it takes us into a different area regarding whether such imagery might "tarnish" the trademark. It opens up a whole new can of worms regarding canonicity – who says those superheroes are heterosexual, anyway, and even if they are, who gets to say that the thought of them being gay would in any way "tarnish" their image? An author might suddenly announce, as JK Rowling did with Dumbledore, retroactive changes to a character's sexuality, to the delight of some sectors of her readership, and the horror of others.
You can, perhaps, see how much fun this is in identity politics terms. Having myself been the subject of both fan fiction and fan art of an eroticised nature (thanks, anime fans), I can't say it bothers me, although it rarely impacts on my daily life. Then again, it isn't being crowd-funded and distributed commercially to millions – it is hard to get annoyed about an audience in the mere dozens. Gene Roddenberry might have turned a blind eye to the existence of amateur Kirk/Spock erotica, although he never lived in a time when such things might crop up unbidden on his Instagram feed of a Wednesday morning – the rise of the internet has allowed an "exponential" increase in the power of infringements. Authors do have moral rights, which to a certain extent, allows them to impose their own sense of morality into how their material is used. This seems to be a recurring issue, for some reason, in the world of long-running vampire sagas where both Anne Rice and Laurell K. Hamilton veered suddenly off their earlier presumed courses, splitting their fandoms into supporters and opponents, the latter ready to cite a notional "doctrine of lapse" that desired to rewrite the stories for themselves.
Many authors' aversion to fan fiction is a simple business decision to pre-empt simultaneous creation lawsuits – allowing in other writers risks accusations of plagiarism if later works resemble the creations of such third parties. But Schwabach considers the flipside: what if a "bankrupt, self-destructive or malicious content-owner" decided at some future date to pursue legal revenge against fan creators. He makes a compelling argument that some teenage girl who once imagined a date with a sparkly Twilight character might conceivably meet with a nuisance law suit in her twenties that could destroy her life savings. He argues that intellectual property owners have much to learn from the "ham-fisted" way that the music industry went after piracy, but also deals at length with the get-out-of-jail-free card provided by the concept of "parody" – which is presumably how Neil Gaiman can get away with his wonderful Narnia fanfic, "The Problem of Susan."
Schwabach's cases are a treasure trove of fun arguments – including a great story about a "Wombles Skip Hire" company that was sued over the name, and got to keep it. Other cases include a spat over whether someone has the write to have the words Ninja and Turtle together on a T-shirt without a licence, whether the term Ewok is in the public domain, and whether it is a crime to circumvent copy-protection protocols in order to snatch clips to use in a music parody video. A judge is forced to pronounce on whether 2 Live Crew's "Big Hairy Woman" is a justifiable parody of "Pretty Woman," and gets to say that: "sexual congress with nameless streetwalkers is not necessarily the stuff of romance." It's all part of the fun in a legal textbook that offers memorable and elucidating case studies in understanding how fan fiction interacts with professional media.

News from Gilbert
Opening of 320-acre Mesa complex buoys Gilbert youth sports tourism
Legacy Sports USA officials said Bell Bank Park will be the largest facility of its kind in North America. (Rendering courtesy Legacy Sports. USA)
By Tom Blodgett | 10:15 AM Dec 28, 2021 MST | Updated 11:52 AM Dec 28, 2021 MST

(Source: town of Gilbert/Community Impact Newspaper)
A 320-acre entertainment complex with an emphasis on sports facilities, claiming to be the largest in North America, is set to open in January near Gilbert, and the town is hoping to reap the benefits.
The $250 million Bell Bank Park Powered by Legacy—just east of Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport in Mesa—will be the home of Legacy Sports USA's youth, adult and amateur sports teams and serve as a venue for youth sports tournaments, events, concerts and fitness opportunities.
"They compare it a lot to the Disney Wide World of Sports complex [in Orlando] but for the West Coast," said David Belfort, the technical director for Arizona Arsenal Soccer Club, once known as the Gilbert Soccer Club. "It's something that you've got to get on the site to really understand and grasp the magnitude of how large the facility is with as many turf fields that they have and as many natural grass fields. It's something that is new, and with things that are new comes excitement with that."
Gilbert has tried to attract youth sports tournaments to cultivate tourism dollars—efforts that have increasingly gained traction since the 2019 reopening of Cactus Yards, data shows. But town officials said they do not see the new park as competition.
Instead, Legacy and town officials said they see more of a symbiotic relationship in which Bell Bank Park can be the local place for nearby teams to compete in regional and national events.
In turn, Gilbert can provide out-of-area visitors a place to stay, shop and eat with businesses gaining economic benefits and the town earning tax dollars.
Vision for Bell Bank Park
Legacy Cares—a nonprofit whose mission is empowering kids and families to have healthier, active lifestyles through entertainment facilities—owns Bell Bank Park, and Legacy Sports USA acts as a management company.
Bell Bank Park can accommodate a multitude of sports: baseball, softball, basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse, indoor and beach volleyball, pickleball, esports and futsal—a small-sided soccer game played on a hard court. It includes a championship soccer stadium that can seat 5,500.
The park has performance, wellness and family fitness centers, plus space for gymnastics, dance and cheer, and a ninja course. Outside the sports and fitness realm, it can host concerts and has an arcade, restaurant and bar.
"This really changes the landscape of youth sports, especially here in Arizona," said Legacy Sports CEO Chad Miller, a graduate of Mesquite High School in Gilbert, a former professional baseball player and the brother of Legacy President Brett Miller. "When you have a preeminent place to play ... [it] really provides a staple in the community for youth sports and organizations to rally behind."
Chad Miller said having grown up playing sports in Gilbert, he recognizes local teams often have had to travel to compete on the larger regional and national stages.
"That's because we just didn't have the facilities up to this point to be able to manage or to withstand the size or magnitude of some of these tournaments," Miller said. "For far too long, we've seen teams go to Orlando ... or to Minnesota or Texas or San Diego or [Las] Vegas. That's why having something like this in the Arizona market is important where the community can call it its own. Now all of a sudden we are the focal point."
While final pricing details have not been worked out, Miller said he expects it to be priced competitively for rentals. The park expects to have a weekend gate fee much like Cactus Yards does. Parking will be free.
Gilbert's growing facilities
In recent years, Gilbert has tried to grow tourism as a revenue stream, officials said, with youth sports being a component of that strategy.
Toward that end, Gilbert also has invested in municipal facilities, primarily to meet community members' needs but also to attract local and regional tournaments, Parks and Recreation Director Robert Carmona said.
In spring 2019, the town reopened the former privately owned Big League Dreams facility after a $15.4 million renovation with eight baseball and softball fields with replicated backdrops to look like classic Major League Baseball stadiums, and rebranded it as Cactus Yards. It also has an indoor soccer facility.
In the fall, the town opened Gilbert Regional Park and Desert Sky Park, the latter a fitness-themed park constructed for $19.6 million with four collegiate-size multipurpose fields and room to build 12 more, including a stadium for championships, plus a ninja-style playground. Tennis, pickleball, beach volleyball and basketball courts came online at Gilbert Regional Park in 2020 at a cost of $18.4 million for that phase.
"[It has] led to that initial boom in tournaments," Carmona said. "And then I always try to mention to people at the end of the day, we're still able to serve those community groups. Because that's really first and foremost the goal of those parks."
The payoff in tournaments has been marked. In fiscal year 2018-19, the town hosted 24 external tournaments, 17 at Cactus Yards and seven at the town's other parks. For FY 2020-21, that number was 54 at Cactus Yards and another 85 tournaments at other parks—despite a pandemic.
Additionally, Cactus Yards has been popular with all 50 available weekends booked—aside from the two weeks a year it is closed for maintenance. It also averages three requests for each booking period.
"The fact that there's three tournaments on average every weekend waiting for space at Cactus Yards—that sort of shows that demand level that you can see and that Legacy is going to have," Carmona said. "I do think there's potential in the future for partnering on some of those tournaments as they come online."
The town's FY 2020-21 statistics show Cactus Yards having 126,936 visits by tournament participants and 110,410 visits by nonparticipants, according to the town. A 2019 Arizona State University study for the town showed tournament organizers generated 1,839 room nights at Gilbert hotels and $2.9 million in direct spending.
The United States Specialty Sports Association, a youth sports governing body, recognized Cactus Yards as its National Complex of the Year in December at the 2021 USSSA National Convention in Orlando.
"It's easier to say what I don't like about [Cactus Yards], which is nothing," said Eric Bell, who runs USSSA youth baseball tournaments in Arizona and frequently uses Cactus Yards. "The facilities are great; the fields are great; the staff is really helpful. I wish I could rent it more, if you can call that a downside."
The town also touts the landing of a Ripken Baseball select tournament to be held June 12-17 at Cactus Yards for players in the 9U/10U-13U age groups. It could attract 64 teams and an estimated 3,360 visitors.
"It's bringing that tournament in a time frame that really benefits our businesses and hotels," Gilbert Tourism Administrator Glenn Schlottman said about the summer time frame.
Forging partnerships
Miller said he sees Legacy as providing opportunities with other facilities, such as Cactus Yards, for hosting large national or regional youth sports tournaments that no one venue can accommodate.
"There's certain tournaments where we have to utilize other facilities due to overflow," he said. "That was always our mission. That was always something we anticipated was having such large national-, regional- and international-level tournaments to the point where we would have to not just be able to use Bell Bank Park but utilize the local community to withstand those types of traffic volumes."
That is in line with Gilbert Economic Development Director Dan Henderson's views that so many economic development opportunities, including tourism, are regional plays.
"What are the dimensions of Gilbert? 72 square miles," Henderson said. "But the reality is when people come in to visit those borders and those lines aren't as easily as definable as we all sort of think of them. They're coming into a region, into an area."
The facility sits about 3 miles from the Gilbert border with the Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport in between. Town officials said they anticipate tournament users shopping in town, perhaps going to the Heritage District to eat or visiting the Riparian Preserve in the hours away from the tournaments.
Gilbert's hotels can benefit as well because of their proximity to the venues, midrange prices and setups that welcome youth sports travelers as they do business travelers.
Many large tournaments that attract out-of-area teams, in fact, often partner with such hotels, making "stay-to-play" requirements on teams with partner hotels that offer them discounts on lodging.
"We will drive over 4 million people through our gates at Bell Bank Park," Miller said. "And really what that does is it drives and impacts the surrounding communities. ... It brings a life and an energy to the entire state."

November 24, 2018 (ST. LOUIS) -- The St. Louis Mosaic Project, an organization created to promote regional prosperity through immigration and innovation, is teaming up with Square, Inc. to encourage local holiday shoppers to visit and support the area's Hispanic-owned small businesses this Small Business Saturday.
It's been one year since St. Louis city officials formally recognized the Hispanic corridor of businesses between Gravios and Jefferson Streets as "La Calle Cherokee." Now with thriving restaurants and boutiques, city leaders, bilingual volunteers from Square, and the Hispanic Chamber of Metropolitan St. Louis, celebrated the economic impact of immigrant and Hispanic-owned businesses by kicking off Small Business Saturday in the heart of La Calle Cherokee.
"Hispanic-owned businesses in the city of St. Louis represent nearly $200 million in sales, and the number of Hispanic-owned businesses in the city has grown by more than 80 percent in the past decade. The vast majority of them are small operations, driven by the energy and entrepreneurial spirit of our immigrant roots," said HCC President and CEO Karlos Ramirez. "We hope that during these busy holidays, people take a moment to support the small Hispanic businesses along La Calle Cherokee and all throughout our St. Louis metropolitan region."
Square LatinX representatives met one-on-one with Hispanic store owners inside shops along La Calle Cherokee to help business owners understand the latest payments technology and Spanish-speaking support that is available. "We're so pleased that Square, like many of our Ambassador Companies, is taking tangible steps to demonstrate to the Hispanic business community that they matter, and that they want to help them succeed," said Suzanne Sierra, Latino Outreach Consultant for the St. Louis Mosaic Project.
During the press conference at El Torito restaurant on Saturday morning, city leaders and local business owners gathered near the bilingual plaque that officially designates La Calle Cherokee and spoke to the importance of a diverse, immigrant-friendly business community.
"I can't say enough about what a tremendous example this is of true partnership and a commitment to increase the economic vitality of Cherokee Street," said 20th Ward Alderwoman, Cara Spencer, who was instrumental in passing the La Calle Cherokee resolution.
