I made some Flourless Chocolate Cookies as my contribution to KeikoFest 2013! I've been hunting for this recipe for years! I have tweaked it, but I still have some perfecting to do! Next time, I want to use the darkest chocolate I can find, and want them a tad chewier! It's the meringue-ness that gives them the crunch & chew that I desire! But these were a little airier than I wanted. I made some with chocolate chips, and some without! I'm close though! #flourlesschocolatecookies #keikofest2013 #food #instaeatup #instameetup #goodfriendsgoodfood #goodfriendsgoodfun #cookie #igersuniteandeat #igohana #ohanameansfamily #ohana #strivingfortheperfectcookie #cookiecookiecookiethatsforme #andmyfriends #cookiemonster #foodfamily #foodie4lyfe #foodfetish

Okay, okay. These pants weren't really in evidence at the Fancy Pants party, but they could have been! You have to admit Disney princesses are pretty evil.
I found this photo still on my camera as a hold-over from my last trip to Texas. I was very jealous of Audrey's new princess pants. Why don't they make these in adult male sizes? ;)
...and these pants had inspired me for some fabulous pants of evil that I simply didn't have the time (and possibly not the skill) to make. I wanted to paint a pair of jeans so that one leg was Maleficent and the other was the Evil Queen from Snow White. Alas, if only I had time to do all the things I want to do.

My Experience with HALO Trust Kosovo (1999–2007) 🌍
A Call for Recognition and Respect ✊ 🌍
I call for: 🌍
Official recognition of the contribution of the first HALO Trust staff in Kosovo;
The issuance of official certificates for each of them;
The consideration of symbolic rewards for their work and sacrifice;
Financial and material support for HALO Trust, as other countries support similar organizations. 🌍✊
Fita Kosova – 35 Years of Experience in EOD & UXO🌍
Since 1999, in the days following NATO’s bombing campaign, I have been part of humanitarian and military efforts to clear Kosovo’s land from unexploded ordnance (UXO) and landmines. I served with HALO Trust, working in the most dangerous regions of the country — from the village of Rastavicë to the outskirts of Junik — where I led entire demining teams, often managing over 100 people at once.
I had the privilege of being one of the first in Kosovo to be trained by Mr. Mark Frankish, a renowned international expert in the field of EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal), a former British Army officer, and Senior Advisor to UNMAS. The training we received from him laid the foundation for developing local expertise in EOD and UXO.
In these historical photos I will share, you can see the brave men and women who, today, serve in Kosovo’s police, civil service, and security sectors — many of them are successful professionals, team leaders, and certified demining specialists. They were dedicated, educated, and ready to risk their lives to make Kosovo safer for its citizens.
We weren’t just employees — we were humanitarians with big hearts, who, with small wages and under difficult conditions, contributed to building a better future. Over the years, I witnessed the demolition of thousands of tons of weapons, mines, and unexploded ordnance in locations coordinated with UNMIK and KFOR. HALO Trust was the first organization to build capacity for controlled demolitions in Kosovo.
A Call for Recognition and Respect
Today, many of these true heroes — those who worked in extreme conditions to clear land and save lives — remain unrecognized by the state of Kosovo. Meanwhile, individuals with no contribution have been rewarded, while these brave men and women continue to be forgotten.
I call for:
Official recognition of the contribution of the first HALO Trust staff in Kosovo;
The issuance of official certificates for each of them;
The consideration of symbolic rewards for their work and sacrifice;
Financial and material support for HALO Trust, as other countries support similar organizations.
In Conclusion
History should not be written with empty words or by those who were never on the ground. It should be written with actions and true testimonies. HALO Trust and its personnel in Kosovo were the cornerstone of security after the war. I have proudly and responsibly been part of this history. Today, at 58 years old, I continue to work in EOD and sports, learning something new every day to contribute further to peace.
Thank you for your attention.
Respectfully,
Fita Kosova
(EOD / UXO Operator, Veteran of HALO Trust Kosovo 1999–2007)🌍✊
Përvoja ime me HALO Trust Kosovë (1999–2007) 🌍✊
Fita Kosova – 35 vite përvojë në fushën e EOD & UXO🌍
Që nga viti 1999, në ditët e para pas bombardimeve të NATO-s, kam qenë pjesë e përpjekjeve humanitare dhe ushtarake për çminimin dhe pastrimin e territorit të Kosovës nga mjetet shpërthyese të mbetura nga lufta. Kam shërbyer si pjesë e organizatës HALO Trust, në zonat më të rrezikshme të vendit — nga fshati Rastavicë deri afër Junikut — ku kam udhëhequr ekipe të tëra çminimi, shpesh me mbi 100 persona nën komandë.
Kam pasur privilegjin të jem ndër të parët në Kosovë që janë trajnuar nga z. Mark Frankish, një ekspert i njohur ndërkombëtar në fushën e EOD (Deminim dhe Asgjësim të Mjeteve të Pashpërthyera), një ish-oficer britanik dhe këshilltar i lartë i UNMAS. Trajnimi që morëm nga ai ishte themeli i ndërtimit të kapaciteteve vendore në fushën e EOD dhe UXO.
Në këto foto historike që do të ndaj, shihen djem dhe vajza të guximshëm që sot shërbejnë në polici, shërbime civile dhe në sektorin e sigurisë — shumë prej tyre profesionistë të suksesshëm, liderë ekipesh dhe teknikë të certifikuar të deminimit. Ata ishin të përkushtuar, të edukuar dhe të gatshëm të rrezikonin jetën për ta bërë Kosovën më të sigurt për qytetarët e saj.
Ne nuk ishim thjesht punonjës – ishim humanistë me zemër të madhe, që me paga të vogla dhe në kushte shumë të vështira, kontribuuam për një të ardhme më të mirë. Ndër vite, kam qenë dëshmitar i demolimeve të mijëra tonëve armë, mina dhe municione në pika të koordinuara me UNMIK-un dhe KFOR-in. HALO Trust ishte organizata e parë që ndërtoi kapacitete për demolime të kontrolluara në Kosovë.
Apel për njohje dhe respekt
Sot, shumë prej këtyre heronjve të vërtetë – të cilët kanë punuar në kushte ekstreme për pastrimin e tokës dhe shpëtimin e jetëve – nuk janë njohur zyrtarisht nga shteti i Kosovës. Ndërkohë që individë pa kontribut janë shpërblyer, këta burra dhe gra të guximshëm vazhdojnë të mbeten të harruar.
Unë bëj thirrje që:
Të njihet zyrtarisht kontributi i stafit të parë të HALO Trust në Kosovë;
Të lëshohet një certifikatë shtetërore për secilin prej tyre;
Të shqyrtohet mundësia e një shpërblimi simbolik për punën dhe sakrificën e bërë;
Të mbështetet HALO Trust me donacione dhe ndihmë, siç bëjnë edhe vendet tjera për organizata të tilla.
Në përfundim
Historia nuk duhet të shkruhet me fjalë boshe apo nga ata që nuk kanë qenë në terren. Duhet të shkruhet me vepra dhe dëshmi të vërteta. HALO Trust dhe personeli i saj në Kosovë kanë qenë themeli i sigurisë pas luftës. Kam qenë pjesë e kësaj historie me krenari dhe përgjegjësi. Sot, në moshën 58 vjeçare, vazhdoj të merrem me EOD dhe sport, dhe çdo ditë mësoj diçka të re për të kontribuar akoma për paqe.
Faleminderit për vëmendjen.
Me respekt,
Fita Kosova

Philadelphia, commonly referred to as Philly, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania and the second-most populous city in the Northeast megalopolis and Mid-Atlantic regions after New York City. Philadelphia is known for its extensive contributions to United States history, especially the American Revolution, and served as the nation's capital until 1800. It maintains contemporary influence in business and industry, culture, sports, and music. Philadelphia is the nation's sixth-most populous city with a population of 1,603,797 as of the 2020 census and is the urban core of the larger Delaware Valley (or Philadelphia metropolitan area), the nation's seventh-largest and one of the world's largest metropolitan regions consisting of 6.245 million residents in the metropolitan statistical area and 7.366 million residents in its combined statistical area.
Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn, an English Quaker and advocate of religious freedom. The city served as the capital of the Pennsylvania Colony during the British colonial era and went on to play a historic and vital role as the central meeting place for the nation's founding fathers whose plans and actions in Philadelphia ultimately inspired the American Revolution and the nation's independence following the Revolutionary War. Philadelphia hosted the First Continental Congress in 1774, preserved the Liberty Bell, and hosted the Second Continental Congress during which the founders signed the Declaration of Independence, which historian Joseph Ellis has described as "the most potent and consequential words in American history". Once the Revolutionary War commenced, the Battle of Germantown and the siege of Fort Mifflin were fought within Philadelphia's city limits. The U.S. Constitution was later ratified in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. Philadelphia remained the nation's largest city until 1790, when it was surpassed by New York City, and it served as the nation's first capital from May 10, 1775, until December 12, 1776, and on four subsequent occasions during and following the American Revolution, including from 1790 to 1800 during the construction of the new national capital of Washington, D.C.
With 18 four-year universities and colleges, Philadelphia is one of the nation's leading centers for higher education and academic research. As of 2018, the Philadelphia metropolitan area was the state's largest and nation's ninth-largest metropolitan economy with a gross metropolitan product of US$444.1 billion. The city is home to five Fortune 500 corporate headquarters as of 2022. As of 2023, metropolitan Philadelphia ranks among the top five U.S. venture capital centers, facilitated by its proximity to New York City's entrepreneurial and financial ecosystems. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange, owned by Nasdaq since 2008, is the nation's oldest stock exchange and a global leader in options trading. 30th Street Station, the city's primary rail station, is the third-busiest Amtrak hub in the nation, and the city's multimodal transport and logistics infrastructure, includes Philadelphia International Airport, and the rapidly-growing PhilaPort seaport. A migration pattern has been established from New York City to Philadelphia by residents opting for a large city with relative proximity and a lower cost of living.
Philadelphia is a national cultural center, hosting more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other city in the nation. Fairmount Park, when combined with adjacent Wissahickon Valley Park in the same watershed, is 2,052 acres (830 ha), representing one of the nation's largest and the world's 45th-largest urban park. The city is known for its arts, culture, cuisine, and colonial and Revolution-era history; in 2016, it attracted 42 million domestic tourists who spent $6.8 billion, representing $11 billion in economic impact to the city and its surrounding Pennsylvania counties.
With five professional sports teams and one of the nation's most loyal fan bases, Philadelphia is often ranked as the nation's best city for professional sports fans. The city has a culturally and philanthropically active LGBTQ+ community. Philadelphia also has played an immensely influential historic and ongoing role in the development and evolution of American music, especially R&B, soul, and rock.
Philadelphia is a city of many firsts, including the nation's first library (1731), hospital (1751), medical school (1765), national capital (1774), university (by some accounts) (1779), stock exchange (1790), zoo (1874), and business school (1881). Philadelphia contains 67 National Historic Landmarks, including Independence Hall. From the city's 17th century founding through the present, Philadelphia has been the birthplace or home to an extensive number of prominent and influential Americans. In 2021, Time magazine named Philadelphia one of the world's greatest 100 places.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_National_Historical_Park
Independence National Historical Park is a federally protected historic district in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that preserves several sites associated with the American Revolution and the nation's founding history. Administered by the National Park Service, the 55-acre (22 ha) park comprises many of Philadelphia's most-visited historic sites within the Old City and Society Hill neighborhoods. The park has been nicknamed "America's most historic square mile" because of its abundance of historic landmarks.
The centerpiece of the park is Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted by America's Founding Fathers in the late 18th century. Independence Hall was the principal meetinghouse of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1783 and the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787. Next to Independence Hall is Carpenters' Hall, the 1774 meeting site for the First Continental Congress, and Congress Hall, the meeting place of the United States Congress in the 1790s prior to the establishment of Washington, D.C. as the nation's capital in 1800.
Across the street from Independence Hall is the Liberty Bell, an iconic symbol of American independence, displayed in the Liberty Bell Center. The park contains other historic buildings, such as the First Bank of the United States, the first bank chartered by the United States Congress, and the Second Bank of the United States, which had its charter renewal vetoed by President Andrew Jackson as part of the Bank War. The Park also contains City Tavern, a recreated colonial tavern, which was a favorite of the delegates and which John Adams felt was the finest tavern in all America.
Most of the park's historic structures are located in the vicinity of the four landscaped blocks between Chestnut, Walnut, 2nd, and 6th streets. The park also contains Franklin Court, the site where Benjamin Franklin's home once stood and the present-day location of a Franklin museum and the United States Postal Service Museum (Franklin was the first Postmaster General of the revolutionary government). An additional three blocks directly north of Independence Hall, collectively known as Independence Mall, contain the Liberty Bell Center, National Constitution Center, Independence Visitor Center, and the former site of the President's House. The park also contains other historical artifacts, such as the Syng inkstand which was used during the signings of both the Declaration and the Constitution.

The Benjamin Franklin Museum is a museum in Franklin Court, Old City Philadelphia. Originally opened in 1976 as the Underground Museum, it was renovated and reopened as the Benjamin Franklin Museum in 2013. The museum features short films and interactive displays about the life, inventions, and ideas of Franklin.

One day we wandered down to a rocky beach somewhere called Drunk Bay. It took us a while to realize that the coral, and rocks, and logs, and coconut parts that were strewn over the rocks, even high and in unlikely places were not the work of great waves in mighty storms, but of people. People making little people. Or occasionally dogs, or lions. There were hundreds of these things.
Balanced semi-vertically on a large rock, our little guy sports a coral body, limbs, head and nose. A coconut toupe, two stone eyes, and a seashell mouth complete the ensemble.
