wordpress | Saturday, Cathy and I headed to Reston, Virginia. We stayed at the Hyatt and had fun shopping at the stores in the Reston Town Center. I confess that Athleta was my favorite. We even checked out some classic Porsches that were on display. That evening we headed to Wolf Trap for the Sound of Music Sing-A-Long. It was a blast but really hot and humid. We left at intermission. I didn’t enjoy feeling like a sardine with little leg room and hard seats. Sunday we slept in and enjoyed the breakfast buffet at the hotel. The coffee was very, very strong, but the food was delicious! We headed home after eating but made a stop along the way. The C&O Canal. We went for a walk/ run that ended up being really, really warm despite the shade. We managed 2.25 miles running and another 2.5 walking (give or take). We guzzled Gatorade once we were done and made it home without incident.
I was rewarded with a nice thunderstorm Sunday evening. I read on my balcony until the wind kicked up and blew the rain in. I managed to finish Biting Bad, Chicagoland Vampires, by Chloe Neill. A solid story. Lots of good Ethan and Merit scenes. The battle was short for my taste and the villain somewhat predictable, but otherwise no complaints. 4 out of 5 stars. | 2019-04-26T02:42:11Z | https://denisewyant.wordpress.com/2013/09/02/labor-day-weekend/ | Porn | Shopping | 0.866294 |

wordpress | “You must be a nightmare to live with,” I told UK Pun Champion Darren Walsh yesterday.
Today, Darren publishes a book entitled (appropriately for a pun champion) Cheep Laughs.
It is published by Century, part of Random House, the biggest publisher in the world.
Perhaps also appropriately for a pun champion, the book launch last night was on water – the River Thames.
“Just luck, really,” Darren told me. “Tim Vine did a joke book which did incredibly well but he didn’t want to do another one and that paved the way a little bit because they were looking for something similar. I was going to self-publish my book and then Random House got in contact after they read about me winning the Pun Championship. They asked me if I wanted to make a book and I said: I’ve already made it. I walked into their office with an already-printed prototype and that was it.
“So it all went smoothly?” asked.
“Do they just have European rights?” I asked.
“Will you do a second book?” I asked.
“What were you like at school?” I asked.
“So you are a songsmith?” I asked.
“So are you a frustrated muso?” I asked.
“Your day job is working as a a freelance animator,” I said.
“You’re a dangerous man,” I said.
“Even though I mix it up a lot,” explained Darren, “I think half an hour is enough. Listening to puns is a bit like sitting a maths test. Puns are basically just word puzzles. The brain of the person sitting in the audience has to figure out what the punchline is. If you have an hour of that, it’s very exhausting, no matter how good the puns are.
“Anything’s possible with puns,” said Darren. | 2019-04-25T19:43:56Z | https://thejohnfleming.wordpress.com/2014/10/02/punny-darren-walshs-cheep-laughs/ | Porn | Arts | 0.240061 |
wordpress | Okay, this isn’t really ‘Sarah’s’ recipe but she is the one that passed it on to me. It’s from the blog, Vegetable Matter, where you will find lots of other great recipe ideas. Enjoy!
Heat oven to 400. Cut Anaheim chiles in half. Toss tomatillos lightly in vegetable oil. Roast chiles and tomatillos on a sheet pan until the skins are slightly charred. Remove from the oven, dice the Anaheims and chop the tomatillos.
Saute onion in oil over medium high until translucent. Add garlic, 1 tsp salt, and spices. Add the jalapenos, zucchini, potatoes, and 1 tsp salt. Saute for several minutes, then add the stock. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer and cook until potatoes are tender.
Add corn, chiles, and tomatillos. Simmer 10 more minutes. Add the 1/2 & 1/2, and more stock if needed. Remove 1/2 the soup and puree. Season with salt and pepper.
Garnish with cilantro when serving. | 2019-04-20T08:30:42Z | https://aylmerbackyardfarms.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/sarahs-tomatillo-corn-chowder/ | Porn | Reference | 0.680486 |
wordpress | What happens during a Data Sync?
VIP Go has built-in support for syncing/copying data from your production to non-production environments.
This feature facilitates testing and QA of new features and allows teams to accurately reproduce and examine errors in a non-production environment. Our sync process seamlessly and speedily handles the data copying, modifies URLs to match the new environment, and adds a hook for further client-specific customization.
If you have any questions about the data sync process, please contact our Support team.
The VIP Dashboard offers a tool to sync data from production to non-production environments.
You will need the VIP CLI installed on your local machine: VIP CLI installation instructions.
You can do this with the vip app list command, which will give you back a list of apps. You want the name or the id.
Run the sync command with the app name, e.g. vip sync --app=my-app, or the app id, e.g. vip sync --app=000. You will be prompted for the environment you wish to sync to, i.e. the target environment. You can get more information about sync command options by using the help parameter, i.e. vip sync --help.
If your application has multiple domains in use (this is common in a multisite install, for example), Data Sync needs a bit more information to correctly update URL references in your non-production environments. This can be done using config files in your code repository.
If you don’t have multiple domains, you can skip this section.
When Data Sync runs, all instances of en.example.com will be replaced with en-preprod.example.com and all instances of fr.example.com will be replaced with fr-preprod.example.com.
If your environments use a mixture of domain-, subdomain- and/or subdirectory-based sites, you can still specify those via config.
[app] is the name/slug used to identify your (production) application.
[environment] is the environment that this config file applies to.
Here’s an example: .vip.example.develop.yml (this config file would be used for the example application’s develop environment).
In some (very rare) circumstances, you may have multiple environments using the same environment name (e.g. multiple develop environments). In this case, you can add the unique name of your non-production environment at the end (i.e. .vip.[app].[environment].[child].yml; an example would be .vip.example.develop.instance-01.yml).
The “Sync” section of the VIP Dashboard contains a link that will generate this file in the appropriate place in the repo, with the correct naming, for any child environment that is missing one.
If extra assistance is needed, please let us know and we’ll be happy to help.
Config files for Data Sync should live in a config folder in the root of the branch that tracks your production environment (usually master).
Please note that you will need to update the config files if any domains are added, removed, or modified across any of your environments. We’ll be adding tools in the future to help simplify this process.
The vip_go_migration_cleanup hook can be used for custom cleanup of your application data. Some examples of cleanup operation include removing production API keys or performing brief data manipulation.
Note: The cleanup hook runs after maintenance mode is lifted.
* Run some custom cleanup after a migration.
Instead of copying all the media library files from the production environment, for large media libraries of millions of files and hundreds of gigabytes of data could take many hours, VIP Go provides a service called UnionFS.
The non-production environment can upload a file of the same name to the same URL, and this will override the file shown on the non-production site (the production file remains untouched).
The non-production environment cannot delete a file on the production site. The operation will not error, but the production file will still be shared and available from the non-production environment.
If the file is deleted from production, it will no longer be available to be shared with the non-production environments. | 2019-04-19T13:13:14Z | https://vip.wordpress.com/documentation/vip-go/syncing-data-on-vip-go/ | Porn | Arts | 0.071687 |
wordpress | There’s really not that much to say here except that the world’s greatest golfer, Tiger Woods, is coming back early. Next week he will be in the WGC-Accenture Match Play. You know you’re a bad dude when you’ve been out for forever and people are still picking you to win. Even when he was hurt last season he was still whoopin on everyone so him winning really ain’t out of the question. Good Luck Eldrick and let’s hope that knee holds up.

wordpress | I have noticed that by the time students reach middle school most teachers have chosen not to theme their room. Many classrooms are bare, minus a few motivational posters and reminders. I on the other hand, feel that the more welcoming the classroom, the more comfortable students are to be there.
Sixth grade is such a difficult age for students. They’re in a state of transition. They’re going through puberty. They’re awkward. I feel as though having a fun warm environment is essential.
Now, I’m not going to completely transform my classroom and over do it, but I do want to make cute. Let my students have a piece of making the classroom relatable to them, and a part in making it theirs. I am a huge movie buff, and a friend suggested to me if I had thought about using it as a classroom theme. I thought it was brilliant.
I have purchased some items including a bulletin board set that are all “Hollywood” themed. I haven’t quite made up my mind on what each thing will be used for, but I thought I would share what I have found. The Bulletin Board Set is called Lights, Camera, Action! and is by Carson-Dellosa Publishing. Have to give credit where credit is due.
Ok so I have some famous Los Angeles streets, as well as a big sign that I will be using for something.
Now the marquee I plan on having an entire bulletin board that will look like a marquee. So I probably won’t be using this one that is in the back. I also plan on making a clapboard as my welcome sign with my name, Room number, etc.
More famous streets that I will place around the classroom. I will also use the Oscar. I plan on using the Spotlights near my classroom library with some type of “Spotlight on Reading” sign. Also in the package, that I did not take a photo of are a pack of Hollywood walk of fame stars. They’re cute, but they give you about 20, I’m assuming to write Students names on. I have too many students to do that with. As a middle school teacher you get anywhere between 90 and over 100 students dispersed throughout your 4 to 5 class periods. I have thought about using another bulletin board and making larger Hollywood walk of fame starts with famous books that are movies.
Last thing found in the packet. More decorations that I will find a use for. Even if I can’t figure out what to do with it now, I’m sure later on I’ll be glad I have it when I can think of something.
I plan on using these to put supplies to pass out to students when they work in groups. They’re cute, it’s a way to keep things organized, and they go with my theme.
I still plan on doing a mini-theme of Harry Potter in a corner of my classroom. I can’t ignore the impact the books have had on kids and wanting to read. I love the books myself, and hope to use the first in the series in my curriculum next school year once my first year teaching is behind me.
Once I am in my classroom, which is in a short 2 weeks, I will take pictures of what the final product looks like in my room. If anyone has ideas or suggestions on anything, I would love to hear them. | 2019-04-24T09:53:04Z | https://nolessonplan.wordpress.com/tag/teaching/ | Porn | Kids | 0.956026 |
wordpress | If you are a fashionista, who knows and study fashion’s history but never heard about Charles James I have no idea where have you been and what did you study.
Charles James is the America’s first Couturier.
Just like Gabrielle Chanel, he start creating hats (in Chicago, 1026) and than moved to NYC (1928) where started to create his first dresses.
Charles is really important, probably more than you can imagine.
He influenced Monsieur Dior to create the New Look, even Galliano (while working for Dior) made a collection inspired on his creations allowed to Dior ones.. BUT DIOR AND JAMES HAVE A LONG HISTORY, I WOUKLD NEED ONE POST JUSTO FOR THEM!!
Brilliant developing new forms in fabric, Charles works was compared to that of an architect or a sculptor. Actually, he used to develop his designs as sculptures projects, bringing back romanticism and glamour to american fashion.
James is one of those rare, truly iconoclastic designers. He was fascinated with cut and construction, experimenting with new shapes.
As you should imagine by now, he really inspire designer nowadays with his forms (like the Arc Sleeves and the Butterfly Dress, my favorite BTW).
He had his Golden Years in the 40’s, in Paris, when he showed his most brillant collections, mostly the in 1947 and 1948.
He is famous for his sculpted ball gowns made of lavish fabrics and to exacting tailoring standards, but is also remembered for his capes and coats, often trimmed with fur and embroidery, his spiral zipped dresses, and his white satin quilted jackets.
I fell in love in the moment I discover about him, and now can’t stop researching about.
I hope you got in love too. | 2019-04-26T02:37:23Z | https://psclausen.wordpress.com/tag/butterfly-dress/ | Porn | Arts | 0.877985 |
wordpress | I had taken my title from this lovely anonymous quote, ” No pillow so soft as God’s promise. ” But the Holy Spirit has moved over September, and He is the Spirit of Promise. Immediately, I thought of Jacob and that rock he fell asleep on. You know the story of angels and the ladder. How often have I fallen asleep on a pillow that felt like that rock.
My favorite way to wake up is when the sunlight comes through and warms me, fluttering, sleepy, eyelashes are kissed awake by the light of His love. The morning sun warms be as I toss off blankets and look out the window, and it’s as if the morning Son, whispers ” beloved ” to me. I am my beloved’s and He is mine.
His lips put a song in my ear and my day begins, and He is altogether lovely, even if my days are not all perfect, my Lord is. And He loves me, and that is the softest pillow God could give us is the promise that Jesus will never leave or forsake us. Although I stand in both morning and evening unworthy before Him, He gives me worth and I still receive His blessing and benefit from His abundance. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter and the Spirit of Promise, providing the pillow of resting in God’s promises.
I can wake knowing and feeling the heavenly smile that is so glad to waken me, and so glad to offer me His rest both night and day. I can rest my head and my heart on the shoulder of a King. His love is ever before me. It calms me and it quiets me,. It quiets the heart that He says not let it be troubled, neither afraid. It gives His peace in place of a race that I would never win, and gives me grace to finish a race, that I was even amazed to still be in. But when I gave Him first place, He gave me first place, a golden crown of glory. A crown of peace in exchange for His crown of thorns, a burden that was light, replacing the cross I carried.
I am a crown of beauty in the hand of my Lord, His head was bowed and bloodied, so mine could be free of fear and worry. The struggle is over and I’ve nothing to prove. He gave everything He had to give, and all I have to do is believe, to call upon His name and receive grace upon grace, peace upon peace, unwavering confidence in Jesus, in the Spirit of grace. Grace and truth are in Jesus.
Nothing missing, nothing broken, nothing amiss or out of place. Shaloam. Truthfully, defined, How is your peace? This is the peace I offer, my peace I leave with you. Come to me, I will give you rest. Arms outstretched and opened wide to embrace you. Your emptiness and loneliness, I will fill, I will not leave you helpless. If the pillow of God’s promise is soft, my peace is softer still. You are my dove, arise and take your place with me, I am always beside you. Fear not, you will not fear in my peace. My peace is your peace and a place of safety forever.

wordpress | This is an interview that I did with the legendary blues master, Johnny Burgin, at Diane Tesler’s bungalow in Kewanna, Indiana on September 30, 2017 – also included is a live recording of the Legendary Rockin’ Johnny Blues Band* performing “House of the Rising Sun” at the Kewanna Street Festival on September 29, 2017.
The interview was conducted the day after Johnny’s performance at the Kewanna Fall Festival at the artist, Diane Tesler’s bungalow. Kewanna is a tiny town of 600 good people, but the interview sounds more like it was conducted in a cafe in a larger city as the noise coming from the kitchen was from dishes being done and everybody there was still on a high that Johnny and his band were in town. And, there was an emergency run by the Kewanna Volunteer Fire Department during the interview!
This was Johnny’s second trip to perform in Kewanna, Indiana. He has a lot of fans in this north central rural area of Indiana. He is already planning to return.
Thanks to Johnny for an excellent interview. It was a privilege to listen to Johnny talk about his art and his life as a musician. I am hardly a professional interviewer; rather, I appreciate Johnny and his music and wanted to learn what he is all about with regard to his art. | 2019-04-20T08:15:10Z | https://ronkernphotographer.wordpress.com/2017/12/20/the-bungalow-interview-with-blues-legend-johnny-burgin/ | Porn | Arts | 0.81461 |
wordpress | Doctors delivered the baby by caesarean section after the girl, a member of the indigenous Wayuu tribe, arrived at a hospital in Manaure in floods of tears.
The girl, who has not been named, was 39 weeks pregnant when she appeared at the hospital in pain from contractions and bleeding. It was the first time doctors had seen the girl during her pregnancy.
After the operation, the mother and baby – a healthy daughter weighing just 5lbs – were said to be “doing well”.
Despite the girl being under age, Colombian laws allow indigenous tribes such as the Wayuu a degree of self-governance. The tribes maintain their own sovereignty and cultural traditions.
Giving birth at a young age is said to be typical of Wayuu customs.
The identity of the father has not been revealed, but local media have suggested it could be a 15-year-old boy, others have claimed it is a 30-year-old man.
The birth has led to fierce debate in the country, with some calling the practice “shocking”.
Others said the tribe’s culture needs to be respected.
“Since it’s a Wayuu girl we are trying to respect all of their rights since they have autonomy and their own juriostiction,” Alejandro Samplayo, director of parental organisation Colombiano Bienestar Familiar, said.
The youngest mother in the world was a five-year-old girl called Lina Medina from Peru in 1933.
Ms Medina, who is now 78, had a son called Gerado by caesarean section.
Gerado died in 1979 aged 40 from bone marrow disease. | 2019-04-20T18:53:04Z | https://jambonewspot.wordpress.com/2012/04/09/ | Porn | Health | 0.582031 |
wordpress | Unanimous tribute to ‘Charlie Hebdo’: a ‘counter-sense’?
On the day before the coordinated tributes to the victims of Charlie Hebdo, and as the French had already started to assemble throughout France, certain cartoonists and journalists of the weekly satirical expressed their surprised in the face of such a wave of emotion. Of demonstrations of support which can seem strange, towards a magazine which has always cultivated irreverence and the art of not doing the same as its friends.
“They sounded the bells of Notre-Dame for Charlie, I must be dreaming!” exclaimed on Friday Gérard Biard, editor in chief of Charlie Hebdo, to underline the irony of the situation for an anticlerical magazine to be universally celebrated, even in the most famous Parisian cathedral”.
“It’s incredible that the people support us but it is in a counter-sense (contre-sens) to the drawings of ‘Charlie…. This unanimity is useful to Hollande to reunite the nation. It is useful to Marine Le Pen to demand the death penalty.
“They had never read ‘Charlie Hebdo’. A few years ago, thousands of people descended into the streets of Pakistan to demonstrate against ‘Charlie Hebdo’. They didn’t know what it was. | 2019-04-23T12:27:06Z | https://jessking1311.wordpress.com/tag/global-support/ | Porn | Arts | 0.692772 |

wordpress | The 2008 Susana Balbo “Crios” Malbec appeared to be a safe choice and something that might go well with a steak. The wine has a full bouquet of cherries and spices and a lush mouthfeel that I could tell would go well with a nice filet. On this particular evening you could be factually correct in calling it a $15.00 wine that drinks like a $50.00 wine because that’s how much it was on the wine list (can you sense I am missing my BYOB’s?).
There were a few different appetizers brought to the table, some nice shrimp cocktail, fried calamari and some tuna.
I decided to try the lobster bisque. It came nice and hot to the table, had good color and pleasant taste. It was not one of those bisque that featured large pieces of lobster. There were a few, but it lived up to its bisque name. Most of the others at the table thought it was fine. I also had the Creed’s Classic Wedge Salad, applewood smoked bacon, fresh roma tomatoes, hard-boiled egg and blue cheese dressing. In my opinion, there are few salads better than the wedge of iceburg lettuce with tangy blue cheese dressing. This one was no exception; fresh and delicious.
Most of the group chose steak as their entree .
I selected the Center Cut Filet Mignon with Brandy Peppercorn Sauce ($38). It came with green beans and the meat nestled nicely on a bed of potatoes. The steak was ok, nothing special and I’d rate the entire entree a C. I’m not sure what I was expecting at Creed’s but whatever my expectations were, they were not exceeded. It’s hard to explain, they seem to do all the right things, refilling your water glass, replacing silverware, scooping up crumbs. Maybe it was the fact that we had nine people and it just seemed to have “wedding meal” feel to the entire evening.
One of the group ventured from the carnivore trail and ordered one of the evening “specials”, the Tile Fish, a firm, mild flavored white fish. The dish looked inviting and he was pleased with his choice.
The others all seemed to choose the other “special” of the evening., “Surf and Turf”, a decent size helping of filet accompanied by a crab cake. Again, most of our party thought the steak was average at best although some found the crab cake very good. Overall, it was an enjoyable evening and I can’t say it was a bad meal, it just wasn’t anything memorable.

wordpress | The Westborough sit-in is part of a nationwide week of action against Keystone XL, including a large scale action today in Houston. The week was coordinated by activists from the Texas-based Tar Sands Blockade, a group that has been staging direct action for five months to prevent construction of the southern leg of the pipeline. The fight to stop Keystone XL first entered the national spotlight with a mass civil disobedience protest in August 2011, the largest of its kind in decades, coordinated by 350.org. Tar sands oil has also become a flashpoint for the Canadian climate movement, where First Nations communities, politicians, and citizens have united to block the Northern Gateway pipeline, which would carry tar sands oil to the coast of British Columbia for export.
This week’s protests also foreshadow a cascade of actions planned against the tar sands for early 2013. A coalition of activists known as Tar Sands Free Northeast are preparing for actions on January 23rd and 26th to block a plan to transport tar sands oil through New England. Canadian activists with the Idle No More movement have protested the Keystone XL pipeline while 350.org has announced a 20,000 person rally against KXL to be held on February 17th at the White House.
The Keystone XL pipeline is an export pipeline proposed by TransCanada to carry tar sands oil from northern Alberta across the Midwest to the Gulf of Mexico. The pipeline has been the subject of intense national controversy since its proposal in 2008. It has been widely protested for the risks it poses to the Ogallala aquifer, which supplies drinking water for 2 million people, as well as for its potential to dramatically worsen global warming by facilitating the extraction and burning of the tar sands. | 2019-04-25T08:08:41Z | https://january7th.wordpress.com/pressrelease/ | Porn | Business | 0.243781 |
wordpress | Once upon a time there was a paper bag. Regarding size and color it was much like every other paper bag on the block, and was therefore rather plain and wholly undeserving of a story to take place anywhere near it. That being said let us get on to our story, which takes place quite conveniently within said bag.
“Oh my,” I said, looking around in the dim filtered light. “How did I end up here?” I faced the bottom of a paper bag, which lay on its side, completely without rhyme or reason to my life. Turning around I saw the sides of the bag formed walls and a ceiling, encasing me. A pin prick of light in the distance, the opening of the bag, lent itself enough to illuminate the small world. Once the initial shock and intimidation (looking and feeling an awful lot like fright) I noticed to my left, a little ways down, a small shack sitting prettily against one of the walls. I found my feet taking me there.
There wasn’t much of a lawn, but I stood on it while on the porch two rocking chairs held a little old spider couple, the man smoking on a pipe while the mistress passed the time on two crochet needles.
“Hello,” I called out, weakly waving a hand.
“You’re quite impressive,” the man claimed, oblivious of the conversation’s direction.
“You go looking, that’s how!” The husband exclaimed, slamming his many fists down on his armchair in a slow sort of way.
The old man folded his many arms and scoffed. “Just because they have wings,” he jerked his thumbs to his left, motioning down the wall into the distance.
Thanking the old pair I continued on along until I came to another small cabin, identical to the first save there were two little flies sitting outside the door in rocking chairs as opposed to two little spiders.

wordpress | While looking at album release info today, I stumbled across the artwork for the Chemical Brothers newbie, due in April and titled, “No Geography”. My first thought was, “What the Hell?” as the image was more than a little familiar to me. Now it may well be that there are subtle differences. There might be an extra cloud here or there. The colours might be different but important details like the tank and motorway flyover are to a casual observer identical.
I remembered the image from Godley & Creme’s triple album extravaganza, “Consequences”, released back in 1977. Unfortunately, I left my copy of the album 1,000 miles away from where I am now so I couldn’t refer to it. I’m sure the image was also used in music paper adverts for “Consequences” but I didn’t fancy a trip out on a cold wet day to look in my container. Instead, I found a cinema ad for the album on YouTube. I’ve taken a couple of frame grabs from that so you can see for yourself how close they are.
Maybe the use of the image is meant as an homage to the original designers or Godley & Creme but it seems pointless to me. What can we expect next?
There’s no way I can say, “This was the last unicorn” but it’s the only one I’ve ever seen. I stumbled across it about 10 years ago in a Paris flea market. Then, somehow, I lost the image. Oddly, it was a weird feeling to have no proof of what I’d seen. Then, two months ago, while I was working on a computer in France, I suddenly found it.
For some reason, it seemed to be the catalyst to me deciding that I needed to clear myself of the albatross that had hung too heavily around my neck for 32 years. Then and there, I decided to sell all that remains of Rockmine Archives.
So, in the space of two months, I had proof of the last unicorn (or at least a unicorn) and I finally started to put Rockmine on line for sale.
I certainly didn’t foresee either event.
If you do re-post the image, please credit me and where you found it!
After 21 years on the World Wide Web without a proper shop, I now have one. It will be fully functioning before this weekend is out but in the meantime, for followers of my blog, Facebook and Twitter, you can have a sneak preview.
You’ll find it here. If you like it, tell me; tell your friends!
I’d appreciate comments, ideas on improving it and any other feedback you might have. The idea was to create a shop much like you’d find in any museum or art gallery. The difference here is that you can actually take something home that was part of Rockmine Archives.
1967. Paul McCartney flies to Denver, Colorado for Jane Asher’s birthday party. He takes with him a large diamond (engagement) ring which she later loses.
1976. Sid Vicious enters hospital after scoring some smack and a dose of hepatitis.
1978. Japanese multi-millionaire Rocky Aoki visits Liverpool to formally make a £ 2.5 million bid for the city’s world famous Aintree Racecourse. If the bid is successful, he’ll offer The Beatles £ 25 million to stage a concert there. He said, “Yoko Ono is a friend of mine. If they played, I reckon we would gross £ 150 million with records and promotion”.
1980. Still without a name, the band that in less than a fortnight will be known as R.E.M. plays its first ever live gig at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Athens, Georgia.
1981. Singer Madeline Bell becomes Radio One’s first black DJ when she takes over from Noel Edmunds during his break from the microphone.
I’m finally doing what I’ve been avoiding for the last goodness how long – and getting stuff out of the archive and onto Rockmine’s site for sale.
There’s 108 to begin with and more will be added this week to be followed by the group photos.
Everything that’s not in red will be available for sale. If you’re looking for specific issues of anything, check it out.
It’s been a difficult time for lovers of rock music with Lemmy, David Bowie and Glen Frey passing recently. On a personal note, a friend suffered two heart attacks on December 26th and it’s coming up the the first anniversary of my wife’s death.
These events have made me realise that I carry way too much baggage with me. I have a house and a storage container filled with books and music papers going back to the late 1950s. If anything were to happen to me, I would leave my friends and family the onerous task of disposing of an vast archive accumulated over more than 30 years.
To that end, my New Year Resolution is a simple one – get rid of my clutter! That means the archive in physical form. I’ve spent the last few years digitising my music paper library, so why do I still need the paper copies?
I’m currently in France and will be returning within a week to start putting papers online. Until then, you can view the copies I have here: Music paper Library. I’ll happily accept requests for complete years or single copies.
In the meantime, to whet your appetite, here are some NMEs featuring Bowie covers from the early and mid 1970s which I’ll soon have available for sale. Clicking on anyone will give you larger images to flick through. | 2019-04-25T16:02:41Z | https://rockmine.wordpress.com/category/uncategorized/ | Porn | Shopping | 0.713256 |

wordpress | Byblos Trading Co is situated at The Palms in Woodstock, Cape Town. The name comes from Mikhael Bou Rjeily, the owners’ favourite city in Lebanon.
I have heard many good things about Byblos. I also heard that they are well-known in Cape Town for serving Turkish coffee. I have never drunk Turkish coffee before, so I thought I had to go give it a try.
The barista at Byblos was very friendly and chatted with us the whole time we were there. He also did a great job in explaining the process of making Turkish coffee.
Turkish coffee does not refer to a type of coffee, but to the way the coffee is prepared.
Traditionally, coffee is added to water in a copper pot. The coffee and water mixture is stirred and slowly heated over medium heat.
If sugar is to be added to the coffee, it is done at the start of the boiling, not after.
When the grounds begin to froth, about one-third of the coffee gets poured into individual cups. The remaining two-thirds are returned to the fire.
After the coffee froths a second time, the process is completed and the remaining coffee is used to top off the drinks.
Apparently, the last step is to put a “horseshoe” in it and if the horseshoe floats, you know that it is good coffee.
A superstition that goes with Turkish coffee is that the grounds left after drinking Turkish coffee can be used for fortune-telling. The cup is commonly turned over into the saucer to cool; it is believed that the patterns of the coffee grounds can then be used as a method of fortune telling.
There also used to be a tradition where when a man wanted to marry a woman, his parents would visit the future wife’s house to ask her parents’ permission. To show her skills the bride-to-be was then supposed to serve the guests the best Turkish coffee she can. It was then decided based on her ability to make coffee if she was a good match for marriage. Some brides-to-be would intentionally add salt instead of sugar in order to avoid an unwanted marriage. Some people in Turkey still keep these traditions alive.
I had a great time at Byblos – not only did I enjoy my Turkish coffee, I also enjoyed the stories I was told and the friendliness I received.
Byblos Trading Co is definitely worth a visit, they also sell a range of locally baked baklava, Lebanese bread, imported Lebanese cooking and baking ingredients, coffee blends, Turkish apple tea, Yerba Mate, gourmet syrups, powders, and sauces. | 2019-04-24T02:21:15Z | https://cgallivanter.wordpress.com/2018/08/20/turkish-coffee-at-byblos/ | Porn | Shopping | 0.625415 |

The Detroit Free Press reports: ACCORD SLIPS: 2008 Honda's not bad but no longer leads midsize pack.
There's a difference between winning because you beat your opponent and winning because your opponent made a bad call. And while a win is a win is a win, one surely must be more satisfying.
Case in point is the all-new-for-2008 Honda Accord. Looking a little (to us) like the new Sebring, the Accord still exudes high quality, but based on almost every review we've read, it's sort of a dud.
It's taken 32 years, but the rest of the auto industry has caught up with -- and in some respects, passed -- the Honda Accord.
The all-new 2008 Accord isn't a bad car, but it's no longer the one car you should consider before buying anything else in its class.
It's fallen back to the pack. And not the front of the pack, for a number of reasons that include some surprising and troubling interior fit and quality flaws in the EX sedan I tested.
Fallen to the back of the pack? It's not just behind the... well, Mr. Phelan (the reviewer) doesn't mention which other cars specifically you should look at ("anything else in its class"), but every car in the class is better?
Let's take for granted Mr. Phelan is right and that the Accord has stumbled. Badly.
Is that as satisfying to GM and Ford as building a car better than the Accord when the Accord is at the top of its game?
Anyway, go, Detroit, and boo for Honda for dropping the ball some.
*By glued we really just mean sticky. Also, that's a snap of the 2008 Honda Accord. Yay or nay?
Autoblog reports: Volvo C50?: Volvo considering five-door C30.
First of all, no. Second of all, WTF. Finally, great idea! Make a niche car that competes with your other niche car!
Sounds like an infallable plan. The good thing about the C30 and the bad thing about the V50 are the same: the price and we can't see how Volvo is going to distinguish between the two lines enough so that they don't cannabilize the other. Unless that's the plan, of course: kill off the V50.
Volvo, you killing off the V50?
That's a snap of the 2008 Volvo C30 and, yeah, it's awesome. But only as a two-door hatch. Leaving the wagonin' for the V line.
Jalopnik reports: EU Court Set to Allow Porsche Purchase of VW.
We're trying to figure out why Porsche would buy up the rest of VW (that is, if they decide to do so). PorscheW won't likely make the Scirocco a really fast car to compete with the Boxster/Cayman and VW's already been burned at the high-end with the Phaeton. Is Porsche going to enter the sedan market maybe? Or go lower-end with a Porsche branded Scirocco?

wordpress | Time For Your “Mind Gym” – What Are You Resisting?
Have you wondered about the nature of what you often resist? These perhaps fall into two kinds: what’s good for you and what’s bad. You can resist specific things, people, and behaviors, or other things that fall in the more abstract.
Resisting change, temptation, advice, power, beliefs, or new fads can be such notions. All may include both elements that harm you, or lead to your self-promotion. Many times, and if you have the inclination, resisting any of these can entail using a lot of energy coupled with unrelenting maintenance of emotions. It requires a steal-like mental set and persistent action steps to push and never surrender forward motion.
If I were to argue further, wouldn’t you, now, resist stagnating, feeling weak, being disempowered or ridiculed, ignorance, and the kind? Surely if these dominate lead you to having a restless heart and an un-quieted mind….
To resist your own evolution, is to keep yourself in chains. What you need to persist at is your own growth domains. You probably resist, most, the pain that comes with prospective gains. If you ignore the discomfort that comes with changing to the better, only focus on the rewards remains.
Will you, now, get into the groove? | 2019-04-19T17:28:13Z | https://coachingur3ps.wordpress.com/blog-posts/page/2/ | Porn | Health | 0.56097 |
sfgate | Remove all the wires before covering an outlet box with drywall.
3 What Can I Use to Cover a Hole in My Ceiling From an Old Light Fixture?
When you relocate an electrical outlet, you're usually left with an empty electrical box nailed to a wall stud. It isn't easy to remove the box without cutting a hole around it, but if all you want to do is cover it, removal shouldn't be necessary. As long as there are no wires inside the box, you can cover it with drywall. If the box is still acting as a junction box, however, and wires are joined inside it, the electrical code mandates a removable cover. Covers come in plastic or metal, and you attach them with machine screws.
Turn off the power to the circuit before you remove the outlet from the box and disconnect it.
Unscrew the machine screws at the top and bottom of the outlet with a screwdriver. Pull the outlet away from the wall. Disconnect it by loosening the terminal screws on the sides and bottom and pulling off the wires. If the wires are inserted into the back of the outlet, cut them with wire snippers.
Remove the power cable from the electrical box. If there is a second cable feeding another device on the circuit, remove it as well. Pull the power cable through the attic or basement, depending on which way it is routed to the panel. You can either reroute it to a new electrical box or disconnect it from the panel.
Measure the box dimensions with a tape measure. Cut a piece of drywall to fit inside the opening, using a utility knife or drywall saw.
Spray enough foam insulation inside the box for it to expand and just begin to bulge out. After the foam has fully expanded and while it is still wet, place the piece of drywall on top of it and work it into the box so that it is flush with the wall. Wear gloves while doing this, because the foam is sticky and difficult to remove from your hands.
Let the foam dry, then cut off the hardened parts from around the outline of the patch, using a utility knife.
Spread joint compound over the patch with a drywall knife. Lay two pieces of paper drywall tape on the vertical joints on the sides of the patch. Cut the tape long enough to cover the horizontal joints on the top and bottom and position the two pieces so they meet in the center. Scrape the tape flat with the knife.
Let the joint compound dry, then spread another coat and scrape it flat. Repeat after the second coat dries.
Prime the patch with drywall primer before you paint it the same color as the wall.
If you can't pull out the power cable because it is stapled to studs, cut it and leave the portion you can't remove inside the wall. Disconnect the other portion from the panel or splice on a new cable that you can route to a new location. Make the splice inside an electrical box permanently attached to a stud or rafter and with a removable cover.
Wear protective clothing and protect the floor when using spray foam, especially if the floor is carpeted. Spray foam is difficult to remove from anything, but it is virtually impossible to remove from fabric.

wordpress | Ballinacourty made much of the odds that were given on them to beat Kilcummin in the semi-final, supposedly making a killing at the bookmakers, which is nice. But one wonders whether they’ll be all so eager to dip their hands into their pockets when they take on the might of Nemo Rangers today. Punters are always crowing after sticking it to the bookies, but you rarely hear of the failures – perhaps they’re drowned out by the sounds of the bookmaker’s Jag.
A Waterford man will lift the cup today either way, with Jimmy O’Gorman presenting to either John “Effin'” Hurney of Ballinacourty or Niall Geary of Nemo. ‘Gears’ grew up near to where I now live, so you’ll have to forgive me when I say that I hope he crashes and burns today. Come on ‘Courty!
Update: better big up the Tramore man as Nemo win by 1-10 to 1-7. Having been nine points down at half-time, it was a brave effort, although the demeanour of Pat Moore after the game on WLR spoke of a man not content with brave efforts. Hard luck, Ballinacourty, and here’s to Niall Geary lifting the Andy Merrigan Cup in Croke Park on St Patrick’s Day 2008.

Ballinacourty are the last chance of a Waterford senior team going unbeaten in 2007. One of the strangest facets of Waterford GAA is the inability of the senior football champions to make a mark on the Munster scene. The Nire and Stradbally have both gone close in recent years, but five finalists in over thirty years seems like a poor return from such a robustly competitive championship. Perhaps the need for a competitive hurling championship is a red herring in the quest for senior hurling success. Anyway, good luck to Ballinacourty today against Kilcummin.
Update: and whaddya know? Ballinacourty win by 2-6 to 0-8. They’ll meet some team of nobodies called Nemo Rangers in the final. Well done to Ballinacourty.

Beware the ides of November!
When living in Galway, I knew a fella from Abbeyknockmoy. He was the lone Galwayman of my acquaintance who viewed their then-success in football as a mediocre substitute for hurling success. Upon inquiring as to the quality of his club, I was proudly informed that they had won the County Cup (a figure of speech to which the county title is universally referred in Galway) in 1988. And how had they done in the All-Ireland series? Face darkens. It seems the team had spent the week after winning the county on the pop, and were duly ambushed by the Roscommon champions (NB this link show them losing in 1990. Shome mishtake, shurely?). This was the last occasion on which the Galway representatives did not get to the All-Ireland semi-finals.
If either Ballyduff Upper or Ballinacourty (or both of them) lose in their respective Munster championship ties, no one could say it was an ‘ambush’. But the danger of players still celebrating a fortnight after their long-yearned-for successes is very real. First up is Ballyduff Upper, playing the Clare champions Tulla in Ennis. Lads, hit the ball first, hit the bottle later.
Update: ye can hit the bottle now, lads. Tulla won 2-13 to 0-14. Hard luck to Ballyduff Upper.

Ballinacourty won their fourth county football title with a three point win over Ardmore in Dungarvan. It didn’t sound like a great match (report here) and it’ll probably only stick in the memory because of an, um, overexcitable victory speech from captain John Hurney, from whence a certain four letter word originated. I was hoping Ardmore would win, for the sake of the multiple hurlers on their panel, which only goes to confirm my prejudice in favour of the small ball game. Still, well done Ballinacourty, and all the best in the semi-final of the Munster club championship against Kerry’s representatives, Kilcummin.

We’ve had two clubs dominating the hurling championship for the last decade, and it’s great to see that overturned by a club who haven’t won it in two decades – isn’t overturning the natural order what makes Waterford’s quest for the McCarthy Cup so compelling? With that in mind, this year’s county football championship is even more noteworthy. After seven years of hegemony from Stradbally and The Nire, we have two clubs in the final who have waited a long time for senior success. Ballinacourty haven’t won the county title since 1981 and Ardmore – remarkably, a dual club – are looking to win it for the first time since 1977. Someone is going to have that Ballyduff feeling in Fraher Field on Sunday.

wordpress | Cinco de Mayo is followed by the 16th of June-o, a lesser celebrated holiday. It commemorates when Mexican President Benito Juárez wouldn’t/couldn’t make the interest payments on their national debt. That angered Mexico’s major creditors Spain, France and the United Kingdom; France took this “all the way” and placed provisional (French) President General Almomte inside Mexico City on June 16, 1863. American pressure later helped remove French-elected King Maximillian from the Mexican “throne”. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated as a Mexican victory, but that battle just slowed the French down a little.
p.s. China holds the largest foreign portion of America’s $12,000,000,000,000 debt. Last year China began to reconsider whether to loan any more money to the US, and who would blame them? We’re not looking like a good credit risk nowadays. | 2019-04-24T20:35:45Z | https://michaelfamily.wordpress.com/tag/national-debt/ | Porn | Business | 0.879504 |
typepad | While finally getting around to writing my 2012 blog (been travelling constantly) I came across this video on a Facebook feed. Love this furniture for fitting into small places and for effective use of space.
Permaculture: Can we Live Where our Food Comes From?
At the recent LoveVancouver Festival, a cool technique for growing your food in jars was presented. Here is the video on that!
Thanks to Kent and Ben from SOLEFood/ Patch.
As we become aware of the need to reinvent our relationship and connection to where our food comes from a little bit of knowledge can go a long way. Agricultural practices have depleted the soils largely because we've moved from diversity to monocultures. While making that shift might take a bit longer (to move past the deeply ingrained reliance on patented seeds, and the pesticide package that goes with it), to restoring community and individual control over food supply and food sources is a matter of initiative.
Operation Oasis is working to bring the rain back to deserts.
The Land Institute is well respected for its work in restoring nature's principles (which work) to replace our version (which doesn't). Biomimicry. Diversity and complexity go to work for sustainability.
Not to mention the conversion of lawns, which really don't work, to gardens which you can eat!
Hotels are cutting costs by growing their own herbs on their rooftops.
There are many more ways that individuals and commercial establishments can participate. With the impacts of global warming and other uncertainties those who can take charge of their food are better prepared than those who carry on as if nothing is changing around them.
Does anyone have any other resources to share?
Getting around locally doesn't have to be complicated with a growing number of alternatives to buying and maintaining a vehicle. One of the new ideas is Modo. I interviewed them. Take a look.
Car2Go has free registration till the end of June so sign up now.. it is a whopping 2$ with the proceeds going to Canuck House.. and you are good to go!

utoronto | We’ve had 274 PhD graduates since 1978. Of those we can find data for, 74% of all of our graduates are (or were) pursuing academic careers in tenure track positions. Seventy-two percent of them (125) had positions in Canada. Another 23 have positions in the United States. The rest are around the world.
The vast majority of our PhD alumni (72%) are or have been employed in Canadian Universities. In fact, every Canadian university with a PhD program has at least one of our PhD graduates on faculty. Almost half of those are clustered southern Ontario, suggesting that our graduate students develop roots to this part of the world and are happy to stay in the region. The others are spread across the country representing U of T in all regions of the country where there are colleges and universities.
Next to Canada, the United States is the most popular destination for our PhD graduates who seek and obtain tenure stream faculty positions. Twenty-three of the 174 alumni in faculty positions have or had careers in universities south of the border, representing U of T in twenty-one institutions of higher learning across thirteen states.
Outside of Canada and the US, we have PhD alumni working in colleges and universities in twenty-one different countries. Our graduates have found jobs on all continents except for Australia (and Antarctica but, to be fair, there aren’t a lot of opportunities there). Feel free to browse the map to see the details.
Twelve of our graduates since 1978 have found employment in the provincial or federal public service. This was not a preferred or viable option from the mid 1980s to the end of the 1990s but it was before, and it is again. Another fourteen graduates found positions in the private and non-profit sectors. Others are working in “alternative academic” positions within universities and research centres. | 2019-04-20T22:37:38Z | http://sociology.utoronto.ca/people/phd-alumni/ | Porn | Society | 0.135872 |
wordpress | Tinker may be miniature — as in a miniature horse — but he’s a big money raiser for the Salvation Army.
He uses his mouth to hold and ring a red bell and also picks up with his mouth a “Thank You Merry Christmas” sign. He can also bow and give kisses.
Major Roger Ross, a Salvation Army commander, said Tinker is one of their biggest money raisers in the area: He brings in 10 times the amount of a regular bell ringer.
The 13-year-old horse, who’s brown, black, grey and white, has been ringing for four seasons.
“I actually save up all my donation and give it to Tinker because I have such a soft place in my heart for him,” said Karen Hammen, who gave money while Tinker stood outside a West Bend, Wisconsin craft show on a recent Saturday morning.
One of Tinker’s owners, Carol Takacs, said she and her husband got Tinker 12 years ago. She said she went to look at a property, fell in love with the miniature horses there and asked that one be part of the deal.
His name was Tinker when they got him, Takacs said.
“As fate would have it, I could not have named him more appropriately if I had tried,” she said.
Before appearances, she spends a half-hour vacuuming his mane and fur and puts glitter on his hooves, a bell on his backside and a Santa hat on his head. And — of course — Tinker wears the Salvation Army apron.
She also made pins with his face on it — a gift for every $5 donation.
While most people are wooed by Tinker and his decorations, she said some don’t believe he actually holds and rings the bell.
“We don’t do that with Velcro or glue. There’s nothing on his bell. He knows that this is his job and he does it very well,” she said.
Photos: Would Your Shetland Pony Like A Shetland Calendar?
He even walks a nice straight line at the Show.
The 23 year old Shetland pony, Cruachan III, has officially retired as mascot for the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
For nineteen years he has taken part in Highland games, fairs, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and numerous Military Parades.
The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders have had a regimental mascot since 1929, always a Shetland pony called Cruachan.
So far there have been three ponies called Cruachan. In 2006, the Highlanders were formed into the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
The tradition of a Royal Shetland pony as mascot named Cruachan continued.
Regimental mascots not only take part in parades and ceremonial occasions, but often live in suitable accommodation in the barracks with the regiment.
This photo shows Cruachan III and Pony Major Paddy Payne leading the Coming Home Parade of The Black Watch, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland, after their tour in Afghanistan.
Cruachan III stands barely 3 feet tall and has an unusually calm temperament. He is a personal favorite of the Queen. She has always requested that he be present at any parades when she is at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
It was at this year’s Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, celebrating the 60 years of the Queen’s reign, that Cruachan III was, again, a star performer.
There were more than 1,000 pipers, drummers and other musicians performing on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle.
Military bands from countries around the world including Australia, Switzerland, Norway, Canada and the US performed during the three-week run.
According to Cpl William Perrie, who looks after Cruachan III while on duty, it was the pony who stole the show at the Tattoo for 25 nights in a row.
This year’s Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo marked the last performance of Cruachan III.
It was now time for his much deserved retirement.
Captain Dougie McDougall is happy to see the 23-year-old Shetland Pony retire from service.
All those at the Redford Barracks at Edinburgh who have cared for the Royal favorite Shetland pony believe that Cruachan III deserves his retirement after nearly two decades of military duty.
Cruachan III will now be relaxing in his own field with long-term companion Islay, also a Shetland pony.
As for the Royal Regiment of Scotland, they are preparing for the arrival of Cruachan IV to begin his career as their next Royal Mascot.
This ‘little big-man’ rodeo rider has caused a big stir in the gritty world of barrel racing.
The two 1/2 year old, Royce Gill, from Upper Horton in western New South Wales, Australia should be kicking up tantrums, but instead he is kicking up the dust on his six-year-old pony, Maybelline.
Even though Royce is still wearing diapers, it is no surprise that this young cowboy has taken to the sport of racing barrels at high-speeds. He is the seventh-generation rodeo rider in his family.
Royce entered his first competition at the Beaudesert Rodeo in the ‘18 year and under’ classification. Even though he did not win any ribbons in his first try, he has plenty of time to catch up with the much older competition.
Mr. Gill, who lives in the country on a 3000-acre property, states that he will help his son move on to bigger calves and ponies as he grows up.
In the meantime, the pint-sized rodeo rider has a busy schedule. Royce will continue to compete in barrel racing against riders more than seven times his age.
In Southampton, England there is a pony that is creating a rush of emergency calls from caring people that are driving by her pasture.
The message to the fire brigade is always the same: Come quickly, a poor little pony is stuck in the mud.
The reason for the emergency calls is not that the pony is sunk in the mire, but that she simply has very short legs.
Her owner is considering putting up a sign outside the field to advise motorists that “Mayflower” is a stocky pony, not a stuck pony.
The problem with putting up a sign is that one day she might actually get stuck and then the fire brigade won’t turn up, says the owner.
“Mayflower” is a cross between a Shetland pony and a New Forest pony. She inherited the Shetland’s short legs and the New Forest pony’s long body.
Her unusually short legs compared to the other ponies in the pasture that surround her cause Mayflower to stand out, or rather semi-disappear. Thus the cause for all the excitement.
Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service’s animal rescue team have been called out numerous times to rescue the animal since it started grazing on the salt marshes at Redbridge, Southampton.
This has included a specialist lifting vehicle, 12 fire fighters, two to three fire trucks plus an animal rescue expert.
Every time the highly trained firefighters rush to the scene they find the same horse … “Mayflower”.
So, what does Mayflower think of all this?
She simply trots her little self off to prove that she’s not stuck at all, but quite simply minding her own business doing what ponies do … grazing.

wordpress | This is a bit of an experiment in writing about whatever happens to come up on my computer. Granted, this didn’t “just come up”; I selected it because I recently purchased it from itunes but hadn’t listened yet. I also downloaded “Bein’ Green,” “Sing,” and Bert and Ernie’s Sing-a-Long. Sue me.
First things first. I am 43. Sesame Street and I were born the same year, so obviously, I grew up watching it on PBS (Channel 28 when I was a kid). I will freely admit to anyone who asks that I have a probably unhealthy attachment to things I remember fondly from my childhood. Sesame Street, Jim Henson, muppets, and the music from the show are among those things I am still attached to like a baby spider monkey clinging to its mother.
“Somebody Come and Play” is one of those songs I know I must have heard repeatedly while watching muppets and humans teach each other the alphabet and tolerance, but I don’t really remember it from then. I rediscovered it as an adult, and I was transported back to the blissfully ignorant innocence of childhood. Nothing bad or wrong ever happened, everyone was nice, and the only thing you had to worry about was getting a flavor of candy you didn’t like (red was the universally good flavor; green was generally bad).
But there is a loneliness in the song that I think children miss. After all, the entire song is about a child imploring for someone, anyone, to come and play “before it gets to late to begin.” There’s a version with Big Bird, but I prefer the one sung by The Kids (presumably the group of children hired for the show). It’s sweet, charming, and off-key. I don’t sing so well, either, so I identify with that part. It’s also a little heartbreaking. Anyone whose heart doesn’t hurt a little after hearing a child sing “somebody come and be my friend” is a sociopath. There’s a joyous freedom here, too. The idea that you can just “watch the sun till it rains again” and “see the pleasure in the wind” is kind of remarkable. The world is a playground and the summer afternoon is gonna last forever. After all, children shouldn’t have any other responsibilities besides playing with their friends (parents really should let their children goof off more, but that’s a rant for another time). There’s joy also in how the single voice at the beginning is joined by other voices. Somebody came out to play after all.

When you tow in some rest stops they don't let you park your car with the other cars so you have to part with the big trucks.

I think I know now how people felt when I zapped them with a load of questions about their characters at the beginning of a game.
I've just gotten a survey from the GM of HolidayTale about my character's goals, what he thinks about the rest of the group, what I like and don't like about the game, etc. etc. etc. And he wants it back by the end of the Turn. Shee-it, even I said "Get it back to me when you can." And then there's the thing that says, "Responses about what you think about the other characters will be sent to the players in question." I foresee a lot of pulling out of hair as I try to come up with answers that are even vaguely acceptable for public consumption, especially about a certain troll and Eiluned. My honest answers? A bossy, swaggering dictator with delusions of competency, and an intolerant hypocrite with a far too high opinion of her value, respectively.

Leah has always loved getting lost in stories. When she is not scribbling down her characters’ adventures, she is off on her own, exploring new spaces and places around the world. She received her MFA at Spalding University and currently calls Washington D.C. home. One Shadow on the Wall (Simon & Schuster/Atheneum) is her debut middle grade novel. You can find Leah on Twitter @LeahsMark or at her website: leahhendersonbooks.com.
With the growing demand for diversity in children’s literature, it is more important than ever to depict these characters authentically. Learn strategies and resources to help in creating fully-rounded and authentic characters which mirror a different perspective and find out how to avoid pitfalls and work through false starts. This session is a safe space in which to ask any and all questions in pursuit of telling a more accurate and well-balanced cross-cultural story.
Asking my favorite anything is nearly impossible for me to answer…but these are the books that have taken hold of my head and heart in some way.
Now: THE BOYS IN THE BOAT by Daniel James Brown, THE GUERNSEY LITERARY POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrow, FISH IN A TREE by Lynda Mullaly Hunt & OUT OF MY MIND by Sharon M. Draper because I have to show some MG love!
I am an avid traveler and love, love, love, when I stumble upon the unexpected or when something around a corner catches my eye, but even as someone who searches out and embraces these moments, I am still amazed how locking eyes with a young boy sitting on a beach wall in Senegal, West Africa could change everything for me. He, and kids like him, who are often invisible in books, became a driving force behind why I write. That momentary encounter opened up so many possibilities for me as I was trying to open possibilities for kids like him.
Sports were a huge part of my life when I was younger, so I was certain I was going to study sports medicine.
Maya Angelou. Some people have an energy and spirit that truly inspires.
Time to work? Early morning when my head is still clear.
Music to listen to while writing? Really mellow music from some corner of the world, in a language I don’t understand but that translates in my soul.
Trick to staying motivated? Write what makes you curious enough to ask what’s next.
Thanks so much for sharing, Leah and I’m looking forward to seeing you at the conference!

wordpress | A crisis hit the project this week when we came to plan our blog post. We’d catalogued energetically all week but nothing inspired us to admiration or witty comment, nothing tempted us to smile. To be honest, we couldn’t escape the feeling that we’d seen it all before. Yet more heroic tales of British boys travelling around the world making a nuisance of themselves, fairy stories that were frankly tedious, romantic novels that failed to grip. Was 1910 really so dull?
Luckily, just in time to avoid having to fake enthusiasm for something, I discovered Printers’ Pie: “a festival souvenir of the Printers’ Pension, Almshouse and Orphan Asylum Corporation” which instantly lifted my spirits. It’s a sort of annual published for Christmas, a collection of light short stories and colourful cartoons, including one by W. Heath Robinson. The adverts were particularly entertaining, covering everything from a replica for the Great Sphinx of Cairo (14 inches high, can be cleaned with soap and water) to “dainty motor millinery”.
I also found several remedies for people in 1910 who were feeling “out of sorts”. Some of these sounded drastic: for example, Lactobacilline (soured) milk, which even the advertiser said had “a certain peculiar flavour that is impossible to describe”. My favourite was this startlingly colourful advert for Vibrona tonic wine. Perhaps the project should order a case?
When most people think of the Tube, they envisage it in its modern form, under the authority of Transport for London, with uniform signage, overcrowded trains and platforms, and lots of people frantically checking the iconic Tube map that shows the miles and miles of tunnels and tracks passing through central London into the suburbs. Few people think of the history of the Tube, or realize just how long ago the concept of an underground railway in London was first thought of and implemented.
The first and earliest item relating to the Tube to fall into my hands was a small pamphlet extolling the virtues of the Metropolitan Railway, published in 1868. It states that “Of all the marvels of which the City of London can boast, perhaps the greatest is the Metropolitan Railway, familiarly known to the million as the “Underground.”” The Metropolitan Line is the oldest of the London Underground lines; building began in 1860 and, in 1863, the first 3 3/4 miles of track were opened. The service proved so popular that the line was soon extended. In the first five years of its existence alone, over 81.5 million individual journeys were taken on the Metropolitan Railway.
Where the shoals of passengers come from, who have occupied the line in an increasing ratio ever since [its opening] , it would seem impossible to calculate, as the omnibus and carriage traffic do not seem to have decreased.
By 1905 the number of underground railways had proliferated and there was concern about the air quality in the tunnels. The Public Health and Sanitary Committee of the Southwark Borough Council commissioned a report on the chemical and bacteriological condition of the air on the City and South London Railway (now part of the Northern Line). It was concluded that adequate means of ventilating tubes and carriages needed to be found as a matter of some urgency if a rise in serious illness among Underground passengers was to be prevented. The problem of ventilating the deep tunnels and trains and keeping them cool is one that still occupies engineers today.
The item that really caught my fancy, however, is entitled “Underground aids to travel” and includes a London Underground Railway map from 1911 (image below, click on it for an enlarged version). Everyone is so familiar with the modern Tube map, first designed in the early 1930s, that seeing this geographical rather than schematic map is a bit of a shock. When I am on the Tube I don’t really think about the geographical space linking the stations (which is probably why I know pockets of London quite well but have no idea how to get from one part to another without the Tube!). This map shows the underground railways in their actual locations and makes it obvious how popular and how profitable the Underground must have been for it to have been extended so far since its beginning with under 4 miles of tunnels fifty years before. It is also interesting because it reveals the reason for the odd routes that some of the lines take through the city. I have always wondered why the Northern Line has two branches: here it can be seen that what is now the Northern Line used to be two separate railways before the City & South London Railway and the Hampstead Railway were combined.
An advert inserted into a 1911 London guidebook praises the Underground as “The quickest and cheapest method of travelling” and to a great extent that is still the case, although sadly nowadays the price of a ticket has risen beyond the standard twopenny fare which gave the Central London Railway (now the Central Line) the wonderful nickname of the “Twopenny Tube.” This nickname soon led to the other underground railways becoming known collectively as the Tube, although the name Underground also remained (and remains) current. The individual railways continued to belong to a combination of different companies until they, with the independent bus and tram companies, were finally merged into the new London Passenger Transport Board (London Transport for short) in 1933. This combination led to the development of a more unified network for the Tube, with the individual railways being renamed ‘lines’. London Transport has existed in various guises over the past decades and is now known as Transport for London or TfL. | 2019-04-24T16:46:02Z | https://vl203.wordpress.com/2011/09/ | Porn | Business | 0.306387 |
wordpress | Sometimes we get engrossed with our own problems so much that in order to deal with our stressful situation, unknowingly we give too much pain to our near ones. One fails to realise that the person involved in a relationship with him or her, is more affected by his or her behaviour and mood swings. They might be trying their hard to give as much support as possible but the other partner in stress might not realise that he or she too has his or her personal life and might have their own problems as well. In such hard times, one might think of breaking the relationship and walk out from that relationship which they might have cherished together for several years. It is not that their love dies in such stressful situations rather it is their mental energy that lower down to that level from where they stop trying to put rest of their mental space to continue the relationship. They just want to vacate it as it becomes suffocating to live with it anymore.
But is that the end of any relationship that remained strong for so many years?
I think it is sometimes just an official end of the relationship, though an invisible string of love or hate keeps them attached for a lifetime in their unconscious mind which might get reflected in another demanding situation. While in some cases it might be the end of the relationship without any strings of love or hate but would always remain in their minds as a string of tangled memories.
unfortunate but how truly you described the whirl of emotions.
I loved how you take up such deep issues of relationships and describe about the ups and downs in simple but impactful way.
Thank you so much for your appreciation Bhavna Sourabh.
The love and hate both are the opposite poles but not truely opposite… The difference is quantitive not quantitive… Where there is love there is hate too just the amount difference.. the lowest state of love we named hate….
Ah! Hat’s off to your writing! Relationship is a very complex matter.It takes years to nourish and built it but it can break in a second because of our ego and overexpectations.But I can say one thing with conviction that true love with heart and soul together can never break.They may not be visible but it remains in your subconcious mind till you die!
Superb,Brilliant,splendid post and i truly loved it,Anu!
Thank you so much for your kind and wonderful words of appreciation. It means a lot… yes you are right it is very difficult to understand the complexities of relationship and we all learn it throughout our life experiences.
Thank you once again for your valuable viewpoint.
U r welcome! I am glad you liked my view point.
Hv a nice day you too,Anu!
Love and hate? Is it not the love that causes the hate. It’s the love that hates that what should be good cannot come together. It is the love that discontinues a bad situation in order to not make it worse. Yes, it is expressed as hate, but it is only love hanging on until it breaks. Past that point the love is expressed as hate.
Beautiful post Anu. I loved the way you described everything in your post. So much emotions. It’s absolutely awesome !!
Hope every thing is fine with you!
Thanks for your prompt reply! Pl get well soon! you are always in my thought!
love and hug to you,ANU!
How is your health now?,Anu!
Good article. Pure love cannot break due to mental stress or any reason. Even though love breaks, it is for a time of some periods only. But soul is always reflecting pure love. Anyway I like your article. God bless you.
You are welcome. Gd night.

wordpress | This is the Advent wreath at the Hermitage where I am an oblate. We had the blessing of the wreath on Sunday and it was very peaceful and very beautiful. I had decided that I would like to add some of these red berries to our Advent wreath at home, so all the way home (it’s an hour and fifteen minute ride), I was on the lookout for the bush it grows on, in a spot that wasn’t too marshy that I could get to in a dress. Just at dusk I saw a bush in just the right spot and succeeded in getting through some dry marsh and cutting a branch. I felt so triumphant when I arrived home and showed it to my husband. “We have one of these bushes behind the shed,” he said. I have a lot to learn about watching and waiting!
Good Morning! Today is the day that the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog goes live. This is a card that I made straight from the catalog and is made with a new set called “Wondrous Wreath.” I’ll be putting in our first holiday order on Monday in case you are interested in starting to prepare for Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas before we begin our fall classes.

wordpress | With the cold weather and dark days slowly closing in it’s easy to forget how warm and lovely London was but a month ago.
At the beginning of September in a gorgeous 28°C (82.4°F) heat we grabbed our carabiners latched on to the safety line and made our way to the top of the O2, formally known as the Millenium Dome and most recently rebranded as the North Greenwich Arena at the London 2012 Olympics.
It’s enormous, so much so that my intense fear of heights didn’t even bother to kick in as there was tent, tent and more tent for yards beneath the fabric walkway all the way to the observation deck.
On the deck the view was stunning, and intriguingly confusing. The structure sits on an ox bow bend in the river Thames so many of the city’s famous landmarks appear completely in the wrong position at first. Thankfully there is a panorama guide of points of interest at the top that makes things a lot easier!
You’ll have to get through the somewhat cringeworthy introductory video at the beginning, but after that it’s a great experience and I recommend it. I was also very please to hear that it is also wheelchair accessible, so everyone can join in the fun. | 2019-04-26T02:26:19Z | https://bimblelina.wordpress.com/2012/10/ | Porn | Recreation | 0.981806 |

msn | © Provided by Getty Images Europe They all have them Take a look at your lipsticks, mascaras and bronzer and you may notice a little round symbol with a number on the back.
Have you ever wondered why? Maybe not, but they actually do have a meaning and it's quite important.
These period after opening (PAO) symbols signify how long you should use your lippie for before you chuck it in the bin, a bit like a best before date.
It normally says something like 6M, 12M, or 18M on it - and here's why you should pay attention.
© Credits: Trounce/Wikipedia Not only does your mascara start to dry up and get clumpy if you've been using it for too long, the PAO date is good to check out for hygiene reasons.
Bacteria can build up in certain liquid-based make up products, which is pretty gross - and products like mascara, eyeliner and lipstick are particularly susceptible.
Nail polish normally as a 12 month PAO on it not solely because of bacteria, but because the ingredients separate and thicken making it impossible to spread evenly across the nail.
© Credits: Trounce/Wikipedia We all have lipsticks we've been holding on to FOREVER, but thinking about all of those germs living in your make up is the perfect excuse to get rid of the old and treat yourself to new stuff.
Although PAO symbols are useful guides, if any of your make up starts to smell bad or change colour or texture then it's probably worth getting rid of. | 2019-04-23T20:11:53Z | http://www.msn.com/en-sg/lifestyle/whats-hot/what-the-little-round-symbol-on-your-makeup-actually-means-and-its-important/ar-BBPt5HG?li=BBr8OIU | Porn | Health | 0.768064 |

wordpress | How an artist politics affect his memory.
For those of you who don’t know the person in this picture this is the German composer Richard Wagner. This man has many great achievement among them changing the face of Opera. Before Wagner, opera houses were always had the lights on during any performance, the orchestra was also in plan view. He basically changed the format of the opera house by turning it into a movie theater in a way. The lights were off during a performance, the orchestra no longer in the open but creative hidden to make the sound resonate through out the theater. He also wrote the Der Ring des Nibelungen, four operas linked together, they take around 18 hours to perform.
But you are wondering about the politics.
He was part of a group that believed all the princes of what ended up making Germany should be done away with. He ended up in exile because of his belief but oddly enough he was rescued by the King of Bavaria. Without that rescue he may never have written the Ring Cycle. He was also an outspoken as an antisemitic. He believed that his music would inspire National pride in Germany. When Hitler came to power he was inspired not only by the music of Wagner, but also because of Wagner’s persona beliefs he chose to use much of Wagner’s works to inspire the Germany Nation.
Now a days there are many people who do not like Wagner’s music because of how it was used by Hitler and because of his own attitudes towards the Jews.
A man who changed the course of Opera, theater and in some ways had an impact on how movies are viewed today, now goes by the wayside because of his political views and who he was later associated with.

wordpress | In order to run Node.js applications one would have to type node along with the filename.
This process has to be repeated every time you want to run code. But let’s say you have a program that automatically runs your code whenever you make updates to the application? Wouldn’t that be great? It would save you time from the repetitive process of executing a command.
Fortunately such a program exists and it is called “Nodemon”. Nodemon monitors changes in your code and then automatically restarts your server whenever there is a change.
In my previous blogs, I talked about how to setup a node.js environment on a Mac and describing what npm is. Npm is used to Install packages or dependencies in a project folder. There is a file called package.json that lists the packages Installed.
As you can see the dependencies in this file are nodemon and typescript. In a Node.js project you would something called as node_modules. The node_modules Include the libraries and packages Installed for the project.
Incase one accidentally the node_modules folder, how can we retrieve or Install the dependencies?
Once you run this on the command line, the node package manager would scan the package.json file and Install the dependencies from there. And from that you would get the node_modules folder back.
npm also known as the node package manager is used to Install dependencies for a project. Dependencies are files that are needed in order for a project to compile and build successfully. Without Installing dependencies, the project would always run Into errors.
Node Package Manager is a one stop shop for Installing dependencies. Without a package manager life would be quite chaotic. One would have to go from one website to another in order to Install files since they are scattered all across the web. It’s akin to shopping in mall where you can get everything in one place rather than going to different stores across the street. It’s a matter of perception which you find more easier or convenient.
As discussed, node package manager allows you to Install all the required files from one place. All you would have to do is just type this command in a terminal or a command prompt.
If it returns a version number, it means that node.js has been successfully Installed.
Install a Package Manager for Mac. In this case we have Installed HomeBrew.
Once Installed, Install node by typing the install node command in the terminal. | 2019-04-25T07:44:36Z | https://rickyraghavan.wordpress.com/category/node-js/ | Porn | Shopping | 0.448535 |

wordpress | On 22nd December 1965, something was stirring deep in Newcastle’s city walls. In the small upper room of the West Wall’s medieval Morden Tower, a seasoned poet sat surrounded by attentive young listeners. He began to read what would become his magnum opus, and a bastion of British modernist work. Basil Bunting’s first performance of Briggflatts signified his long overdue return to poetry, a revival instigated by a series of readings organised in the Tower by Newcastle poet Tom Pickard and his wife Connie.
The readings had begun in 1964, and throughout the 1960s the Tower helped to make Newcastle a centre of counterculture, hosting experimental poets from all over the world, including Beats and Black Mountain poets Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlenghetti, Robert Creeley, Gregory Corso and Ed Dorn, as well as British and Irish poets Ted Hughes, Tony Harrison, Ivor Cutler, Seamus Heaney and Geoffrey Hill. What happened in Morden Tower captured the feeling of the time: a time when the positive potential of the new resonated in the architecture, art, music, and writing of a young generation.
Bunting was born in Newcastle in 1900, but spent much of his life travelling around the world, living in Paris, where he worked for the editor and famous author of The Good Soldier, Ford Madox Ford; Italy, where he found his first bout of success in the poetry world, befriending modernist luminaries, Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams; Tenerife, where he played a game of chess with General Franco; and Teheran, where he worked as a correspondent for the Times and as a spy for the British government. After this period of international intrigue and activity, the poet settled in the North East again, where the financial demands of a growing family led to a decline in his creative pursuits. The Morden Tower and a group of young poets based in the North East were integral to Bunting’s recovery. Bunting’s interest in the music of poetry, in oral and folk culture and his attention to local environment, coupled with a Quaker and socialist upbringing made him a viable father figure for the alternative culture and activism of the times: the group showed that poetry was for the people, not just professors.
The Morden Tower still stands today, and readings still take place. This lecture looks back at Basil Bunting’s life and at the history of the poetry scene in mid century Newcastle, using verse and photographs to help document this exciting time, and to pay homage to an often forgotten cultural treasure.

tripod | I found this on AT&T/Bellsouth and it sort of blew my mind.I really find it amazingly hard to believe that CNN actually let this kind of stuff go out under their corporate monicker,,anonymously at that.
I felt someone somewhere should point out that this kind of stuff is very unbecoming a large,prestegious,alledgedly professional news agency,let alone a supposed 'journalist'.
My response is on top,,the original is below it.
I am all for journalism,,news reports and such and fully expect a respectable major news corporation to have some kind of standards.
But this piece from CNN that I found on AT&T/Bellsouth is a real piece of moonfruit cake in my opinion that borders on psychoganda.
And to top it off,,it's anonymous.Can you believe that? An anonymous CNN report.
If any one knows who authored this,,could you please let me know?
Well,,anyway,,I'm going to treat it like a post in a discussion forum just to illustrate what I am talking about.
~So let's cut to the chase on the new National Intelligence Estimate: Does it show America is safer today than it was on September 10, 2001 -- or not?
I have to say,,if you don't want to use acronyms,,then don't.Spell it all out if you don't like all the acronyms flying around,,but don't make an issue out of using them.
The short answer has to be,,yes,since we all have no doubt as to the threat.The very nature of such an event leads to a higher state of awareness afterwards.
The very fact that there is such (an NIE) to be a topic of discussion related to such occuring again is proof incontrivertable.
Whether the report (NIE) states such an obvious fact in plain words or not.
If you apply reasonable logic to the matter,that is.
~Then there's the reaction from the White House, which is downright confusing. On the one hand, the White House does not dispute the findings of the report, which declares: "The United States currently is in a heightened threat environment," especially from al Qaeda.
Two people,,one says he has a 'feeling' the other says he has no facts regarding a specific event.
I feel the psychopathic murderer may attack again,,but there is no specific info regarding another attack at this time.
Talking about confusion,,who are you?You drop Townsends name,,but yours ain't on this article.
And what re-ignition?It hasn't stopped yet so how can it reignite?
Oh,,and this just sounds like Cujo off Insider dishing about who he's been schmoozing with lately.
And what's so funny about referring to 'a success that hasn't happened yet'? Don't you have that in any endeavor?
Getting this article of yours I read published wasn't a success until it happened,,was it?
How petty and juvenile this seems.And from a CNN correspondent at that.sheesh!
I am sure he was also warned that to do nothing would result in a similar scenario of us being attacked.He was probally also likewise warned that to engage them in Iraq would help protect many of the Iraqi civilians from being ruthlessly slaughtered and have an oppresive set of laws forced on them at sword,gun and bomb point.
Ignored is a rather 'antagonistic way' to put it,isn't it?Especially since,even in your question you concede it's only 'suggesting it'?Could you have been more diplomatic and asked if,,'he had considered the implications of A.Q. gaining such influence"?
Might that be an emotional 'gut reaction' showing out as possible bias against Bush?
As in,,a pointed question designed to garner only negative inferences?
Okay,,okay,,the analogy was a lame one,,I admit.I ain't defending the guy,,I'm critisizing the articles obvious bias.
'Every time you 'quash' one hornet (cell) you have less to fill the hive.Either you eleiminate enough of them away from the hive that they have none to work and refill the hive and it dies.Or once it's weakend through attrition by you killing as many as you can untill you find it and destroy it you won't have the loose ones still around to deal with starting a new hive.
Now,,as to him saying,,"But you are assuming this a zero sum game, which is what I don't understand,",,I agree,,why is the author doing so?
What is the authors motivation or 'agenda' if you will,,that results in his or her bias?
What's interesting is why you would say it's interesting 'critics' use it.Would you prefer 'locust swarm'?
Well,,is the fight going on there without opposition?
No,,Mushareff is opposing them there,,isn't he?
Besides,as we all know,,there was one reason to go to Iraq,,and a different reason to have stayed like we have.Unless you have been under 'a rock',,or in a spider hole,,or maybe too far up a moonfruit tree to pay attention to reality.
What a moronic question for an alledged professional journalist to ask,seriously.
"Have you discussed coperative action with the government of Pakistan in order to facilitate the 'rooting out' of the 'hornets nest' somewhere in those rugged,cave filled mountains?"
Wouldn't it have?But,,nooooope.Had to go for the antagonistic digs,,like a 'gossip rag columnist'.
~"When you talk about the U.S. going in there, you don't blithely go into another nation and conduct operations," Snow said.
"Well, the president went into a sovereign nation in 2003," O'Donnell noted, in what seemed like an "aha!" moment.
"Well, he went into a sovereign nation that was in fact -- he also had with him the support of 17 U.N. resolutions, including Resolution 1441," Snow responded.
NO,,as you did put it,,it 'seemed' like an aha moment.But what it actually shows to a reasonably sane,modestly intelligent human being,,is that the 'reporters' aren't 'reporting',,they are snidely attacking through antagonistic lines of questioning apparently designed to try to make the White House look as moronic as the reporters do when they ask moronic questions,,the answers to which,,byw,,aren't new or news.
I guess that was a fib since the answer sure seemed pretty darn straight,concise,precise,,on the spot,on target and you could even say a 'slam dunk' if you wanted to.
Could one take the lack of certainty as a 'warning' that to leave them alone is a mistake?Could the idea of them being stong again be warning enough to certain factions to quit opposing appropiate action against this 'locust swarm' threatening all Western cultures and anything non Muslim with terror,death,destruction and Sharia Law?
In other words,,what do you want?If the Bush admin left Iraq,,the same folks telling him to do just that would castigate him for leaving the civilians at the mercy of murderous psychopaths,,remember what happened after we left Vietnam?
Unapprehended does not totally equate to 'at large'.He is hiding,,I personally think he's dead or incapacitated by illness or addiction to the point of being a nonissue except as a morale booster for the deluded acolytes of his.
I find it truly fascinating that with possible promising results from the 'recent surge the author ends on that point.
Of course,,to me that is just an indication of what the Bush obsessives will focus on next when,,or if,,any undeniable progress is made in Iraq.
Like this one did,,they'll all start yelling,,"But you haven't caught Bin Laden,,the war on terroism is lost and it's all Bushs fault.Bush bad!"
But I have to reiterate,,I find it really,really disgraceful that an alledgedly respectable news corporation allows this kind of stuff to go out,,with out a name on it at that,,is evidence of someone showing something besides a modicum of journalistic integrity or reasonablely unbiased reporting.
Yeah,,true.That's just,,In My Honest smelly Opinion,,of course.
On the Scene: The bottom line on threat reports -- Is America safer?
So let's cut to the chase on the new National Intelligence Estimate: Does it show America is safer today than it was on September 10, 2001 -- or not?
Getting a straight answer is not easy, especially with so many acronyms flying around -- this is an NIE from the DNI (director of national intelligence) that took into account intelligence analysis from the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) and the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) and ... well, you get the idea.
Then there's the reaction from the White House, which is downright confusing. On the one hand, the White House does not dispute the findings of the report, which declares: "The United States currently is in a heightened threat environment," especially from al Qaeda.
But on the other hand, White House Homeland Security Adviser Fran Townsend asserts President Bush's claim that al Qaeda "is on the run" is still applicable.
On one hand, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says just days before this report he has a "gut feeling" there could be a summer terrorist attack in America. But on the other hand, Townsend reiterates Chertoff's claim that there's "no specific, credible threat" against the United States right now.
Adding further confusion, this report re-ignites the ferocious debate over whether the war in Iraq took the president's eye off the broader war on terror, a point I pressed hard today in an on-camera White House briefing with Townsend.
(She and I have previously joked good-naturally off-camera about another back-and-forth we had in December 2006, when I asked her to admit that not catching Osama bin Laden is a major failure and she countered that capturing him is merely a "success that hasn't happened yet." Jon Stewart on "Comedy Central" had a field day with that exchange that even White House officials found amusing).
Today I pushed Townsend on the NIE's conclusion that al Qaeda "will probably seek to leverage the contacts and capabilities" it's gained in Iraq to attempt to launch a terror attack on U.S. soil.
I reminded Townsend of a Senate Intelligence Committee report this spring showing the president was warned before the war that launching an attack against Iraq could help al Qaeda, which had little power in Baghdad then, gain influence down the road.
"Now you have a report suggesting maybe it has gained influence in the war in the Iraq," I asked. "Isn't that something the president ignored?"
"But you are assuming this a zero sum game, which is what I don't understand," Townsend said. "The fact is we were harassing them in Afghanistan, we are harassing them in Iraq, we are harassing them in other ways non-military around the world, and the answer is every time you poke the hornets' nest they are bound to come back and push back on you, that doesn't suggest to me that we shouldn't be doing it."
It's interesting Townsend used the phrase "hornets' nest," a configuration that critics have used to attack the war.
Another argument now under attack is the President's claim that Iraq is the "central front in the war on terror," when this report and others suggest that Pakistan is a safe haven for al Qaeda.
When my colleague Kelly O'Donnell of NBC News pressed that point today with White House spokesman Tony Snow, asking why the U.S. military won't go into Pakistan, she got a most intriguing answer.
"When you talk about the U.S. going in there, you don't blithely go into another nation and conduct operations," Snow said.
That exchange shows how the fight over the war in Iraq has twisted the White House into rhetorical knots.
On the question I posed at the top of this piece, Snow asserted al Qaeda is weaker than it was on September 11, 2001, because of defensive steps the United States has taken since then. "Weaker than it was a month ago," he added about al Qaeda.
While nobody knows with absolute certainty whether al Qaeda is "stronger" than it was in the past, the point is that this new report shows the terror organization is "strong" yet again.
And almost six years after the president declared he'd get bin Laden, dead or alive, he is apparently still at large.

livejournal | And then you said "Mouse..."
Thank you so much for the compliment. Or plural, really, since just being asked is a compliment.
But (aside from being generally a bit burned out right now on that thing where you make coherent words come out of your keyboard, due to ats_nolimits) I don't really think I have much essay-writing ability in terms of general (non-fanfic) writing -- I don't have a lot of insight into good/bad writing in general. And even when I do write fannish essays, it's almost always in reaction to something -- deconstructing, as you mentioned, somebody else's argument or some other thing that annoys the piss out of me I have issues with.
I'd *strongly* point you towards zortified, though, who's an excellent essayist, wants to be a novelist, and I bet has plenty of things she could say about non fan-specific writing. | 2019-04-19T17:02:29Z | https://mpoetess.livejournal.com/374481.html | Porn | Reference | 0.405219 |
wordpress | Last week the IMF released the program it has crafted between them and Ghana to bring policy credibility to Government’s Home Grown solutions. The only sound bite the media heard was the paragraph that spoke about job losses and freezing wages as a means to frontload the fiscal adjustments to achieve policy objectives.
I read it all with a huge smidgen of doubt.
Ghanaians know as we do, that this government is not going to do any of what it has signed to. The IMF knows that what it has written in the program notes to justify the figures to support our efforts is not true. And honestly, neither this government nor the IMF appreciates what problems we want solved in this economy.
If I may offer three steps, which if done will solve our issues immediately. First-first, fix the “dumsor”; find enough money to pay VRA, ECG, GRIDCO and other service providers what they are owed. No business runs on empty cash tanks. Second, fix the “dumsor”; find enough money to buy emergency power plants, because IT IS AN EMERGENCY! Then finally, fix the “dumsor”; provide enough incentives to make alternative energy solutions immediately attractive to domestic users. Then the “dumsor” will be gone and we will listen to other things.
Don’t do as I did last Wednesday. Mad persons were greeting me on the sidewalk of Accra, because they identified me as a possible compatriot.
I am walking from one end of circle to the South Industrial area. Traffic is jammed and I am late to a meeting. Going in the opposite direction from Bus Stop heading towards New Times junction, I was in a taxi and were it not that the conversation was interesting because the driver saw himself an Occupier and recognized, my alter ego would have me on time at the meeting.
Basking in the glory of hearing an “ordinary” Ghanaian loading praises on Occupy Ghana, I had to make an emergency drop off to catch an Okada, because the supposed professionals manning the construction of the Nkrumah Circle overhead, had not allowed for the pedestrian overflow and we have ended up endangering the lives of the walking Ghanaian every time you use a footpath in the middle of the road.
So now I am on the back of an Okada, chasing time on a rainy day in Accra, heading to one of the worst roads in the city where fake repairers modify and doctor engine parts just to get facades of success. Of course the Okada is going against oncoming vehicles and I am as nervous as I could be since I stopped riding motorbikes forty something years ago.
As if to fibrillate my heart from the sedative of the taxi, my immediate lord of my few years of life – which I have dedicated to fixing some governance issues in Ghana – is taking risks my sixty-year-old heart is not finding easy to manage.
What a crazy week. And next week threatens to be even better. Is this good crazy or strange crazy? Can crazy get better or does it just mesmerize because we don’t understand the implications of future crazy?
A Deputy Director of Fiscal Affairs Department at the IMF, Sanjeev Gupta countered a Government statistic and declared us HIPC in one single response to a questioner and for a few brief days until the IMF chickened out and did some damage control we were back to HIPC, with a debt to GDP ratio pitched at 71%. Government had calculated its figure at 55%.
This controversy has mega spine implications for the people at the IMF. Without providing numbers to show how he arrived at his 71% ratio, which I will try and justify or refute later in this article, I kind of accepted the figure, based on available statistics and the state of events in the country.
I do however think it is time to get clear reference points when we place these numbers in the public domain, especially when they can be alarming and even cataclysmic. | 2019-04-21T14:47:41Z | https://thenewghanaian.wordpress.com/tag/imf/ | Porn | News | 0.434782 |
msu | Proposal 1, the potential legalization of marijuana in the state of Michigan, was one of the larger discussion items on the agenda for the Oct. 22 Williamston City Council meeting.
Voters have the opportunity to legalize the recreational possession, production and use of marijuana to those who are 21 and older. This includes infused edibles. The legal limit would permit users to grow up to 12 plants, have 10 ounces kept at home and have 2.5 ounces on their person.
The current violations involving marijuana that are considered crimes will be changed to civil infractions if this passes.
“I have no doubt this is going to pass,” said Mayor Pro-Tem Sandy Whelton.
The passing of Proposal 1 would allow for dispensaries, but still give jurisdiction to local governments on where dispensaries are allowed to set up shop.
Williamston, according to the ordinance currently in place, would only allow for a dispensary to be located in the industrial park near the south side of town.
Perrone said communities currently have to “opt in” to allow for the medicinal use of marijuana. If Proposal 1 passes, communities that want to ban must be proactive to ensure that it continues, so they can opt out of the allowance of recreational marijuana use.
Perrone noted that many other communities are trying to get a head start by passing blanket prohibition of the drug, and that Williamston plans to do the same by staying consistent with the community’s views against the use of marijuana.
“If we go ahead and pass this and opt out, I think the next step would be having planning look at the zoning,” said Mayor Tammy Gilroy. | 2019-04-24T06:27:52Z | https://news.jrn.msu.edu/2018/11/williamston-city-council-discusses-proposal-1/ | Porn | Recreation | 0.989087 |

wordpress | The film documents the on-going struggle of the workers of Bhilai, an industrial town in Madhya Pradesh, even after the murder of their leader Shankar Guha Niyogi.
A decade ago Niyogi, a leader of an incredible stature and vision, was instrumental in setting up the Chhattisgarh Mine Sramik Sangh in the neighboring mining towns of Dalli and Rajhara organising tribal workers of iron mines. CMSS made history with the maximum number of police firings against its workers and building on Niyogi’s vision of combining Struggle with Construction. Lately Niyogi had set up the Chhattisgarh Mukti Morcha and expanded its work with the unorganised and temporary workers in several industrial units in Bhilai. The industrialists joined hands to murder Niyogi in September 1991.
The film presents the problem of contract labour the insecurity of life faced by workers at Bhilai, the strength of the Chhattisgarh Mukti Morcha and finally the spirit of the people, that is essentially the legacy of Niyogi. | 2019-04-23T06:37:40Z | https://cgavp.wordpress.com/2007/11/18/niyogi-zinda-hai-niyogi-is-still-alive/ | Porn | Arts | 0.835595 |
google | This document describes the classes and methods in the gadgets.* namespace, some of which are feature-specific. For information on including features, see the Gadgets Specification.
An Array filled with only objects of type T. This convention is similar to Java generics.
A type marked with static class has no public or private constructor. In other words, the type is a namespace, not a class that can be instantiated to create objects. The fields and functions in such a type are also marked as static.
A boolean value (not a Boolean object).
A string value (not a String object).
Status messages — loading, saving, etc.
Promotional messages — new features, new gadget, etc.
Debug/error messages — bad input, failed connection to server, etc.
Creates a dismissible message with an [x] icon that allows users to dismiss the message.
Creates a static message that can only be dismissed programmatically (by calling dismissMessage()).
Creates a message that displays for the specified number of seconds.
Creates a dismissible message with an [x] icon that allows users to dismiss the message. When the message is dismissed, it is removed from the DOM and the optional callback function, if defined, is called.
Creates a message that displays for the specified number of seconds. When the timer expires, the message is dismissed and the optional callback function is executed.
Creates a new Prefs object.
Retrieves a preference as an array.
Retrieves a preference as a boolean.
Gets the current country, returned as ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code.
Retrieves a preference as a floating-point value.
Retrieves a preference as an integer.
Gets the current language the gadget should use when rendering, returned as a ISO 639-1 language code.
Gets the module ID for the current instance.
Retrieves a preference as a string.
Retrieves a preference as an array. UserPref values that were not declared as lists are treated as one-element arrays.
Stores a preference. To use this call, the gadget must require the feature setprefs.
Note: If the gadget needs to store an Array it should use setArray instead of this call.
Stores an array preference. To use this call, the gadget must require the feature setprefs.
Tab class for gadgets. You create tabs using the TabSet addTab() method. To get Tab objects, use the TabSet getSelectedTab() or getTabs() methods.
Returns the callback function that is executed when the tab is selected.
Returns the HTML element where the tab content is rendered.
Returns the label of the tab as a string (may contain HTML).
Returns the HTML element that contains the tab's label.
A class gadgets can use to make tabs.
Adds a new tab based on the name-value pairs specified in opt_params.
Sets the alignment of tabs.
Shows or hides tabs and all associated content.
Returns the tab headers container element.
Returns the currently selected tab object.
Returns an array of all existing tab objects.
Removes a tab at tabIndex and all of its associated content.
Selects the tab at tabIndex and fires the tab's callback function if it exists.
Swaps the positions of tabs at tabIndex1 and tabIndex2.
An existing HTML element to be used as the tab content container. If omitted, the tabs library creates one.
A callback function to be executed when the tab is selected.
A tooltip description that pops up when user moves the mouse cursor over the tab.
The index at which to insert the tab. If omitted, the new tab is appended to the end.
Sets the alignment of tabs. Tabs are center-aligned by default.
Selects the tab at tabIndex and fires the tab's callback function if it exists. If the tab is already selected, the callback is not fired.
Swaps the positions of tabs at tabIndex1 and tabIndex2. The selected tab does not change, and no callback functions are called.
Embeds Flash content in gadgets.
Injects a cached Flash file into the DOM tree.
Injects a Flash file into the DOM tree.
Detects Flash Player and its major version.
Injects a cached Flash file into the DOM tree. Accepts the same parameters as gadgets.flash.embedFlash does.
Provides remote content retrieval functions.
Converts an input object into a URL-encoded data string.
Gets the proxy version of the passed-in URL.
Fetches content from the provided URL and feeds that content into the callback function.
Removing any request parameters with names that begin with oauth, xoauth, or opensocial (case insensitive).
The ID of the current viewer, which matches the getId() value on the viewer person object.
The ID of the current owner, which matches the getId() value on the owner person object.
The URL of the application making the request. Containers may alias multiple application URLs to a single canonical application URL in the case where an application changes URLs.
An opaque identifier used to distinguish between multiple instances of the same application in a single container. If a container does not allow multiple instances of the same application to coexist, this parameter may be omitted. The combination of opensocial_app_url and opensocial_instance_id uniquely identify an instance of an application in a container.
An opaque identifier for the application, unique to a particular container. Containers that wish to maintain backwards compatibility with the opensocial-0.7 specification may include this parameter.
An opaque identifier for the public key used to sign the request. This parameter may be omitted by containers that do not use public keys to sign requests, or if the container arranges other means of key distribution with the target of the request.
Signing the resulting request according to section 9 of the OAuth specification.
If a container uses public keys to sign requests, the container may choose to use either self-signed certificates or certificates signed by a well-known certificate authority. If a container does not distribute its OAuth signing key over HTTPS, it should use a certificate signed by a well-known certificate authority.
The commonName attribute of the certificate should match the hostname of the container server, and should also match the value of the oauth_consumer_key parameter specified in the request.
The container should make its public key available for download at a well-known location. The location https://container-hostname/opensocial/certificates/xoauth_signature_publickeyvalue is recommended.
Recipients of signed requests must verify that the signature on the request is correct, and that the timestamp on the request is within a reasonable time window. A time window of 5 minutes before and after the current time is recommended.
Recipients of signed requests may use the oauth_consumer_key and xoauth_signature_publickey parameters to automatically detect when a container deploys new certificates. If the container deploys certificates at a well-known location, the recipient may automatically download the new certificate. Recipients that automatically download new certificates should cache the resulting certificates.
If a container's certificate is not downloaded from https://container-hostname, the recipient should verify that the certificate is signed by a well-known certificate authority before trusting the certificate.
If opt_params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.AUTHORIZATION] is set to gadgets.io.AuthorizationType.OAUTH, the container needs to use OAuth to gain access to the resource specified in the request. This may require that the gadget obtain the user's content by directing the user to the service provider to gain access.
The nickname the gadget uses to refer to the OAuth <Service> element from its XML spec. If unspecified, defaults to "".
The nickname the gadget uses to refer to an OAuth token granting access to a particular resources. If unspecified, defaults to "". Gadgets can use multiple token names if they have access to multiple resources from the same service provider. For example, a gadget with access to a contact list and a calendar might use a token name of "contacts" to use the contact list token, and a contact list of "calendar" to use the calendar token.
A service provider may be able to automatically provision a gadget with a request token that is preapproved for access to a resource. The gadget can use that token with the OAUTH_REQUEST_TOKEN parameter. This parameter is optional.
The secret corresponding to a preapproved request token. This parameter is optional.
If OAuth is used, the container should execute the OAuth protocol on behalf of the gadget. If the gadget has not registered a consumer key for use with this service provider, the container may choose to use a default RSA signing key corresponding to a well-known certificate to sign requests. If the container uses a default consumer key, it will include an additional OAuth parameter xoauth_app_url that identifies the gadget making the request.
If this value is specified, the user needs to visit an external page to approve the gadget's request to access data. Use of a pop-up window to direct the user to the external page is recommended. Once the user has approved access, the gadget can repeat the makeRequest call to retrieve the data.
If this value is specified, it indicates an OAuth-related error occurred. The value will be one of a set of string constants that can be used for programmatically detecting errors. The constants are undefined for opensocial-0.8, but implementers should attempt to agree on a set of useful constant values for standardization in opensocial-0.9.
If this value is specified, it indicates an OAuth-related error occurred. The value is free-form text that can be used to provide debugging information for gadget developers.
The container will use OAuth for authentication.
The request will be signed by the container.
Returns a DOM object; used for fetching XML.
Returns a JSON representation of an RSS or Atom feed.
Returns text; used for fetching HTML.
Container support for this method type is OPTIONAL.
Attempt to use content caching.
Attempt to use content caching. The Refresh Interval is the number of seconds we want to cache the given response. By default the HTTP headers will be respected. If there aren't any HTTP headers this value will default to 3600 (one hour). Note that Signed requests and objects with POST_DATA present will generally not be cached.

wordpress | Something seen, or heard, or felt?
When experienced, what is the result? It draws us in, engenders pleasure. There is a physiological alchemy to it that transforms us. We may leave the beauty behind (quit the museum, turn off the music), but the sense of it is captured in memory that can be called upon at anytime.
That feeling, defined: Appreciation. The sensation most like love. Response is visceral when we look out over the Grand Canyon, examine a Renoir, listen to Beethoven (or Bob Dylan), or hold a child in our arms. But the simple memory of these things also calls forth feeling. The feeling of beauty is what changes a person. The feeling of love, as well.
If beauty is feeling, and appreciation closest to love, one can intuit the importance of beauty in our lives. And the definition of beauty is as diverse as those who appreciate it.
The object matters not. The feeling is the thing. Feeling is always the thing. Universally available at anytime, anyone has the freedom to go there. There is a certain liberty attached to beauty and one’s sense of it. We are all free to appreciate whatever we wish.
We need beauty as much as we need love. We need love as much as we need freedom. A equals B equal C.
Evolution of the soul is akin to creative success. It doesn’t arrive in a flash, but is revealed inch-by-inch in editing. As humans, we tend to target imperfection miles before embracing the ideal. With this able companion to the edit, negative thoughts and actions are replaced with the sweeter. We reach toward perfection.
But, as any writer knows, there is no perfection. As any soul understands, utopia is impossible. Novels are published, typos are found, sentences could always be rearranged to be more pleasing, story structure improved. “Could have, would have, should have,” is our mantra.
But looking back is nothing more than second guessing. So it is with our lives. It is only in reaching toward the perfect that we encounter the divine. In that reach, eternal hands always appear offering help. If we are astute, we see them and reach up. But even if we don’t, their embrace is powerful in subtle ways.
At every stage of humanity’s self-edit, we are offered a thesaurus, if you will. A higher rung on the ladder. Those rungs take the form most attractive to us individually in order to coax spiritual growth: music that touches us, art we cherish, literature we re-read, a friendship, a rival.
Simple and intricate at once, each form is a mirror. Look closely and you will see in yourself that which needs editing. Just realize that no matter how much is done, the work will never be complete. For in completion, there is perfection. And in perfection there is stagnation.
Because what is there left to do?
Yet, Seneca the Younger understood the importance of focus. Nothing can be accomplished in it’s best form without it. Everything becomes half-assed (surely an ancient term referring to the necessity of having a whole donkey when trying to till a field).
Apologies to Ms. Bailey above, being busy can mean that you are not at all alive. Truly living life demands you lay down your busy-tools: smart-phone, television and laptop, take its hand, and step into the natural world, connecting with yourself.
To be busy really says nothing about your importance. To be effective does.
Don’t tell me your busy. Tell me you are making a difference, moment-by-moment, by paying attention to one thing at a time. Turn your minutes to creating something solid. Not just a full calendar.
Because, after all, it is not how much we do in a day, but what we do.
Creation takes focus and attention to detail. | 2019-04-24T12:01:58Z | https://rfgainey.wordpress.com/page/2/ | Porn | Arts | 0.094166 |
wordpress | Whether it’s referred to as the War to Preserve the Union or the War to End Northern Aggression, American Civil War history is all too often thought of in terms of white Yankees from the North fighting against white Southern Rebels, with African Americans relegated to the sidelines of history as their fate was decided for them. The truth, however, is much different.
In 1861 before the Civil War broke out, African Americans comprised about 14 percent of the country’s population, compared to 12.2 percent in the most recent U.S. census. There were approximately four million slaves in the United States, and almost a half a million free African Americans. But only about one percent of all African Americans in the country lived in the North at that time.
Although African Americans had served in the U.S. Army and Navy during the American Revolution and in the War of 1812, they were initially not permitted to enlist on either side during the Civil War. In the North, a 1792 law barred them from bearing arms in the U.S. Army. Additionally, President Abraham Lincoln did not support it at that time because he was concerned that accepting black men into the military would cause more of the border states to secede. Free black men were finally permitted to enlist in the Union Army in late 1862, following the passage of the Second Confiscation and Militia Act, and Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. In the South, General Robert E. Lee eventually convinced the Confederate Congress to begin enlisting black soldiers near the end of the war. The legislation required the consent of the slave and his master, and would confer the rights of a freeman after the war.
By the end of the Civil War in 1865, it is estimated that 209,145 African-Americans had served as soldiers, participating on both sides, although to a far lesser degree in the South than in the North. Eventually, several thousand blacks were enlisted in the Rebel cause, but they could not begin to balance out the nearly 200,000 blacks who fought in the United States Colored Troops (USCT) for the Union, and it was too late in the war to make a difference regardless of the numbers. All together, over 60,000 died over the course of the war, with sickness causing thirty times more deaths than battle.
The African American Civil War Museum, where I went on this lunchtime bike ride, is dedicated to preserving and telling the stories of these men, and African Americans’ involvement and impact during the American Civil War. The museum is located in the historic Grimke Building at 1925 Vermont Avenue (MAP), just a couple of blocks west of The African American Civil War Memorial in the Shaw neighborhood’s historic U Street Corridor, an area traditionally considered to be the heart of African-American entertainment and theater in the city.
The museum opened in January of 1999, with a mission “to serve the educational needs of its local, national, and international community with a high-quality and effective learning experience while interpreting the history of the USCT and the community life of African Americans prior to, and after, the American Civil War.” This is achieved through the communication of information and stories using historic documents, photographs, newspaper articles, replicas of period clothing and uniforms, military weaponry and other artifacts, seminars by staff, and historic presentations by volunteer re-enactors. With more than 200,000 visitors each year, the museum serves as a unique resource for teachers, scholars, students and professionals of museum studies, as well as the general public. And through the museum’s African American Civil War Descendants Registry, the museum documents the family trees of more than 2,000 descendants of the men who served with the USCT.
As I was leaving the museum, I couldn’t help but think that its importance is even greater at a time like now, when the Confederate flag is getting so much attention and causing debate and divisiveness around the country. The museum enables visitors to instead learn about the largely unknown role of those 209,145 black men who fought for freedom and to preserve the union, the 23 who won the Congressional Medal of Honor, and the emergence of three important amendments to the Constitution — the 13th, 14th and 15th — which ended slavery, gave blacks equal protection under the law, and guaranteed black men the right to vote. All in all, I’d say that’s not a bad achievement for a museum.
This bike ride took me to Ford’s Theatre, a building with a rich history, located at 511 10th Street (MAP) in northwest D.C.’s Downtown Neighborhood. The site was originally a house of worship, constructed in 1833 as the second meeting house of the First Baptist Church of Washington. In 1861, after the congregation moved, John T. Ford bought the former church and renovated it into a theatre. It was destroyed by fire in 1862, but was rebuilt the following year. The new Ford’s Theatre opened in August of 1863, hosting various plays and stages performances. But its initial run as a theatre would not last long.
More than any of the plays or performances hosted there, the theatre is perhaps best known as the site where President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in April of 1865. Just five days after General Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House signaling the end of the Civil War, President Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd, attended a performance of a play entitled “Our American Cousin” at the theatre. During the performance, actor and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth stepped into the Presidential Box and shot Lincoln. Booth then jumped onto the stage, and cried out “Sic semper tyrannis” before escaping through the back of the theatre. The mortally wounded President was taken across the street to The Petersen House, where he died the following day.
Strangely enough, on November 9, 1863 (151 years ago last night), two years before the assassination, Lincoln had been seated in the very same seat at Ford’s Theatre, where he watched Booth perform in the popular play, “The Marble Heart.” An avid theatre-goer, Lincoln was known to have attended at least a dozen performances at the theatre. At this performance, Lincoln was impressed with the young actor’s energy and passed along a message backstage asking if he could meet the actor. Booth, an outspoken supporter of the South, declined the request.
Then on the night on which he would be assassinated, President Lincoln told William Crook, his bodyguard, about a dream. “Crook, do you know I believe there are men who want to take my life? And I have no doubt they will do it. I know no one could do it and escape alive. But if it is to be done, it is impossible to prevent it.” Crook beseeched him not to go to Ford’s theater that night, but Lincoln demurred saying he had promised his wife they would go. Perhaps he knew he would be killed that night for when they departed for the theatre, Lincoln said “goodbye” to Crook instead of “goodnight.” He would be dead the following day.
Following the assassination, the U.S. Government appropriated the theatre, with Congress paying Ford $100,000 in compensation. And less than three years after opening as a theatre, an order was issued forever prohibiting its use as a place of public amusement.
After that, the building was used as an office building, and served as a facility for the War Department. Then in 1893, part of the building collapsed, resulting in the deaths of 22 clerks and injuring another 68. The building was repaired, but was used as a government warehouse after that.
Decades later, and more than 100 years after President Lincoln’s death, it was again renovated, and then re-opened as a theatre in 1968. During the 2000’s it was renovated yet again, opening on February 12, 2009, in commemoration of the bicentennial of President Abraham Lincoln’s birth.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, today Ford’s Theatre is administered by the National Park Service as one of two buildings which comprise the Ford’s Theatre National Historic Site, the other being the Petersen House. It remains a working theatre, producing plays, musicals and other works that entertain while often examining political and social issues related to Lincoln’s legacy. And in addition to being an active theatre, it also houses world-class museum, and a learning center named the Center for Education and Leadership.
I’ve found holiday weekends are an ideal opportunity to venture away from the city and explore one of the regional or state parks in the D.C. metro area. So for a Columbus Day weekend ride, I selected Virginia’s Leesylvania State Park. The Park is located on the shores of the Potomac River overlooking Neabsco Creek, about 30 miles south of D.C. in the southeastern part of Prince William County (MAP).
The land where Leesylvania State Park is now located has had a rich history. Native Americans lived on this land for thousands of years, and it was once the site of a former Algonquian Indian village. Records indicate that Capt. John Smith also visited the area in 1608 on his voyage of discovery. It was eventually settled in 1747 by Henry Lee, II, who lived there until his death in 1787. He and his wife had eight children at their home there, including Henry “Light Horse Harry” Lee, a Revolutionary War hero and the future father of Civil War General Robert E. Lee, who was also born there. During the Lee family’s ownership of the land, George Washington is known to have visited there on several occasions, mentioning the visits in his diaries.
Then in 1825 the property was sold to Henry Fairfax. Henry Fairfax was a descendant of Thomas Fairfax, the 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, for whom neighboring Fairfax County, Virginia, was named. Fairfax County was formed from the northern part of Prince William County. The land was eventually passed to John Fairfax in 1847. The site was John Fairfax’s boyhood home, and he returned to live on the property in late 1875 after serving as a staff aide to Confederate Lt. General James Longstreet during the Civil War. Fairfax remained there until his death in 1908.
During the Civil War, the land was also used as a small Confederate force and gun emplacement, named the Freestone Point Confederate Battery, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Unfortunately, little remains of the physical remnants of the park’s early history. Only a small cornerstone of the Lee House remains, as well as a restored chimney of the Fairfax House. Henry Fairfax and his third wife are buried on the property, as are Henry Lee II and his wife. These archeological sites and the cemetery are accessible by trail, and are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Today Leesylvania State Park offers many land and water activities, including hiking, picnicking, fishing and boating. The park includes a playground, four picnic shelters, a small group-only campground, a snack bar, and store and gift shop, and a visitor center. There are also five hiking trails, and a 20-station fitness trail. The park’s water amenities include a natural sand beach, boat launches and a boat storage area, canoe and kayak rentals, and a universally accessible fishing pier. Interestingly, halfway out on the park’s pier is the state line, so by walking out to the end of the pier you are actually in the state of Maryland, which can be seen on the other side of the river, about a mile away by water. The shortest way to get there by land, however, is over 55 miles.
Today is Emancipation Day, an official public holiday in D.C. to mark the anniversary of the signing of The District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act, or simply, The Compensated Emancipation Act.
In 1849, when he was still a Congressman, Abraham Lincoln introduced a plan to eliminate slavery in D.C. through compensated emancipation, but the bill failed. More than a decade later, in December of 1861, another bill was introduced in Congress for the abolition of slavery in D.C. After passing both the House and the Senate, President Abraham Lincoln signed The Compensated Emancipation Act on April 16, 1862, ending slavery in the nation’s capital. The Act freed 3,100 individuals, reimbursed those who had legally owned them and offered the newly freed men and women money to emigrate. However, the Act only affected slavery in D.C., and slavery throughout the country did not officially end until after the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 until 1865.
Five days after slavery ended throughout the United States when the American Civil War was drawing to a close with General Robert E. Lee surrendering to General Ulysses S. Grant, President Lincoln was assassinated. Lincoln was shot while watching a play with his wife at Ford’s Theatre in D.C. on the night of April 14, 1865. He died early the next morning, which was 149 years ago, at The Petersen House across the street from the theater.
Based on the passage of the Act, April 16 is now celebrated annually in the city as an official public holiday in D.C. However, by law, when April 16 falls during a weekend, Emancipation Day is observed on the nearest weekday. Each year, a series of activities are held during the holiday including a traditional Emancipation Day parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, between 3rd Street and 14th Street in northwest D.C.
The holiday is also celebrated in other areas of the United States as well as many former British colonies in the Caribbean on various dates in observance of the emancipation of slaves of African origin. | 2019-04-20T02:17:23Z | https://dcbikeblogger.wordpress.com/tag/general-robert-e-lee/ | Porn | Recreation | 0.747503 |

wordpress | My personal professional development focus this year is to try make my lessons more meaningful. Why? Partly because I believe the comfort and security the modern world provides us often strips meaning from movement and partly because negative experiences of movement at school can shape life style choices later on in life. To better attend to providing more meaningful moments within lessons I created a set of guiding principles to help my in-the moment decision making and used the five features of meaningful physical education as a sound equaliser.
Learning about meaningful PE have taken my metaphor about the equaliser and have written it up as a pedagogical case study. Reading it and comparing to my practice at the moment has helped me reflect on how my thinking has developed. I still see the five features of meaningful PE (fun, challenge, motor competence, social interaction and personally relevant learning) used as equaliser where decision making in lessons can either amplify or dampen a feature to make the experience more meaningful. However there are two key differences in my current thinking compared to when I originally wrote the article.
1. The features are highly interrelated.
I initially saw the features as linear and independent, having no impact on each other. Only influencing the overall meaning that pupils experienced in the lesson. If a lesson wasn’t fun all I had to do was bump up the fun. If the lesson was too challenging all I had to do was decrease the challenge. Pretty simple. Well sometimes, but not often. The more I have used my guiding principles and the equaliser metaphor to assist my decision making within lessons, the more I realise that the features are not linear and independent, but are highly interdependent and interrelated.
A clear example of this happened in a recent parkour lesson. When in conversation with pupils during the lesson they told me they did not find the activity personally relevant. In response to that I decided to stop and through think, pair and share explored how it might be personally relevant to their lives beyond the school gates. This did not have the desired impact, all it did was further highlight how the activity was not important to them. The next lesson I allowed the class to create their own parkour challenges. By allowing the children a say in the design of the challenge they immediately found it more personally relevant due to discussing what capabilities they wanted to develop, how they might be link to things they do outside of school and socially interacting with others to create a challenge (a ability that lots of video games allow them them to have).
Finding relevance in the learning wasn’t found by amplifying how it might be personally relevant, but allowing them a say in designing the challenge. I’ve seen other examples of this at play, not through good decision making, but out of my mistakes. Perceived motor competence wasn’t enhanced by mass practice of technique, but due to positive social interactions of the peer group. Fun wasn’t improved by adding more play to the lesson, but by thinking hard about the composition of the groups. The level of challenge wasn’t improved by making it easier but by explicitly focusing on improving the way children socially interact with each other during it. Making meaningful experiences are not as simple as seeing which feature needs to be manipulated and then having a bank of ideas on how to go about that (although that is a good start), but being attentive to how other features might amplify or dampen the one needed to be enhanced.
‘Meaningful experience is not enough. We want to get in touch with what is truly meaningful. The process of finding meaning is uncertain, uneven. The boarder between something that has meaning and then becomes genuinely meaningful is often hazy and indistinct.’ – Scott Kretchmar.
2. Being aware of meaningless and harm.
I initially thought that the manipulation of the features of meaningful PE would make the experience of a lesson either more meaningful or less meaningful. That there would always be meaning present, that it would just be easier or harder for children to find depending on my expertise to be attentive flexible and adapt the features within lessons. However I’m finding this not to be true and I’m now seeing meaningful experiences within lessons on a continuum with meaning in the middle and meaningless and harm at either end. Meaningless experiences are ones that we engage in, but offer nothing more than occupying our time. Harmful experiences are ones that have the opposite impact of meaningful ones, with children disengaging with movement and the many benefits it brings. I have found both can be achieved in two ways, but I’m sure there are many more that I have not been so attentive to. Firstly by solely focusing on one feature and ramping it up so much it drowns all the others out. An example of this in my rugby coaching was when I became so focused getting a set piece move perfect (motor competence) I almost put a player off coming back again for good. Secondly by ignoring a feature all together. An athletics lesson lesson was not fun at all it was devoid of any meaning for the children.
The major challenge of teaching in ways that promote meaningful experiences is that I don’t know how to do it. It places a heavy emphasis on being adaptable and flexible. On being reflective, especially within lessons, to make thoughtful decisions about which feature or features that are needed to be amplified or dampened. It requires constant vigilance, not just of in creating meaning through expert negotiation of the person, task and environment through the features but also being ambushed by previous versions of myself. However I’m going to keep sticking with it as I believe for the children I have in front of me, meaningful experiences might not be sufficient for provision of quality PE but they are certainly a necessary component in the modern world.
The more the years go on, the slightly more difficult it can be to know what our students like unless we stay up to date with all the games and fads around at the present time. You can only be flexible through experimentation and experience of different teaching styles for the topic. Keeping meaningful experience at the forefront will help you get through the “failures” of the experimentation. | 2019-04-21T01:09:25Z | https://drowningintheshallow.wordpress.com/2018/11/18/the-equaliser-2/ | Porn | Sports | 0.63593 |

columbia | This might be a nice place to park some thoughts from Peirce on this topic.
Opps – sorry for what was below the preview and left in.
I would guess that this was his accustomed reply when someone pointed out a blooper he’d made. So maybe it’s a good idea for people to think in advance about what to say when someone points out an error in their work.
What a great list. I plan to reflect on them. IF ANY of YOU see me committing any of them PLEASSSE tell me so I can rationalize it. LOL. Just kidding. Seriously I’m not an academic celebrity. So I’ll stick with effacement.
I hope that the more people see scientists like Keeling and Hausfather modeling this kind of response, the more the rest of us will feel inclined to respond similarly if someone points out errors in our own work. | 2019-04-23T16:01:07Z | https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2019/01/18/ladder-responses-criticism-responsible-destructive/ | Porn | Reference | 0.420532 |

wordpress | Tuesday night, CNN host Don Lemon gave former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski a lesson in black history as well as some stern advice for his boss when it comes to speaking to black voters.
Later, after Lewandowski attempted to deflect from Trump’s racism by saying he has African-Americans working for him, Lemon took the former campaign manager — along with his boss — to the woodshed.
How bad is the Chumph loathed?
KKK Leader David Duke has more support among black folks.
The Republican nominee is no David Duke—since at least David Duke says what he means, while Trump just dog whistles.
There is almost no group left that Donald Trump hasn’t offended: Muslims, babies,women, Gold Star families, and of course Hispanics. Yet there is one group that despises Donald Trump more than any other: black Americans.
At an average of just 2 percent support in the polls, Trump is running fourth among black voters, as Harry Enten noted last week. He’s 84 points behind Hillary Clinton, but also trailing Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Jill Stein.
The findings of recent surveys read like an Onion headline or possibly a “Saturday Night Live” sketch left on the cutting room floor: “Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke has more black voter support than Donald Trump.” Just think about that for a second. A white guy who was actually a leader of an organization synonymous with not only hating, but terrorizing, black people is more popular with black people than a white guy who used to host a reality show and now may become president.
Trump’s insanely offensive rhetoric against other groups has drawn extensive media coverage and denunciations from people from both sides of the aisle. His allegations of bias against federal judge Gonzalo Curiel were called the textbook definition of racism by Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, among many, many others. His early calls to ban the entry of Muslims to this country have been so widely denounced it’s hard to find a public figure –even among those who have endorsed him—who has not come out against the remarks. He’s made more derogatory comments about women that I can count.
While he has certainly had moments that can be perceived as offensive to black Americans, such as when he inaccurately tweeted that black people are responsible for 81% of white homicides (which was nowhere near true), when people think of groups Donald Trump has insulted we’re certainly not at the top of that list.
And yet, Trump is polling at 24 percent with Hispanic voters, and still has the support of 35% of women voters. With black Americans though, he is at 1 or 2%, depending on the poll. That rock-bottom number has put traditionally red states with notable pockets of black voters in play for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
While black voters tend to be more party loyal than other groups, Mitt Romney still managed to get 6% of the black vote, and that was in an election year in which black voters turning out to reelect our first black president shattered previous historical turnout records and were given much of the credit for Obama’s glide back to the White House.
So what is it about the Donald?
It’s true that candidate Trump has not singled out black Americans for the same obsessive and insulting focus he has some other groups, but the contempt for him within the black community has been brewing for much longer.
For starters, he made himself the face of the “birther” lie against President Obama. He claims credit for pushing the President to release his birth certificate. (Ironic considering the President’s 2008 opponent, Sen. John McCain, really was born outside of the country, as was 2016 contender Sen. Ted Cruz, both of whom have since become Trump foes.) For many black Americans, the entire birther conspiracy was added to the list of indignities no previous commander-in-chief, all of whom were white, had been subjected to. While most birthers until Trump had primarily been seen as basement kooks who occasionally landed airtime on a few cable shows, he lent the movement a mainstream face that many black Americans have not forgotten or forgiven.
Additionally, while Trump’s language and policy proposals have perhaps not been as openly hostile to black Americans as some other groups, black people are well acquainted with coded dog whistles – and the impact they can have. For instance, Trump’s false tweet about the level of crimes committed by black Americans against whites is precisely the kind of rhetoric that plays into the worst fears of his overwhelmingly white supporters. He’s been doing this for decades, since he put out full-page ads calling for the death penalty for the five black boys of the Central Park Five (something he’s never apologized for, even after it emerged that those boys, who spend decades behind bars, were innocent).
Historically, rhetoric like Trump uses has resulted in terrifying fallout for black people. Many forget that the 1915 film “Birth of a Nation,” is credited with reinvigorating the membership of the Ku Klux Klan, the film’s message essentially that someone needed to take a stand against the rising tide of dangerous brown people. Sound familiar? The era immediately following the film’s release would be one of the most horrifying in terms of violence against black people, men in particular.
So when Trump says of a black protester “maybe he should have been roughed up,” and black protesters at his rallies are punched and otherwise assaulted, his candidacy inevitably calls to mind darker days – particularly for black Americans living in an age in which the shootings of unarmed black men by police are not an uncommon occurrence.
Duke’s bigotry may be offensive, but at least it’s honest. Trump’s is just plain offensive.
How Much to Hispanics and Black Folks Despise the Chumph?
Hispanics and Black Folks have taken a real disliking to the Chumpf. I suspect Asians aren’t far behind, as well as Gay people, and women.
It turns out antagonizing Americans of every stripe, as Donald Trump has done continually with his bombastic rhetoric, has actual consequences.
Yet even more striking is Trump’s standing with people who are black and Latino — growing voting blocks whose support is crucial to cobbling together a winning coalition. A staggering 94 percent of black voters view the real estate mogul negatively, as do 89 percent of Latinos, despite his predictions that he will “win the Hispanic vote” in November.
Trump wants to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and deport millions of undocumented immigrants. He’s gone on a racist tirade against a federal judge of Mexican heritage, and his outreach to Latinos entails posing for a picture on Cinco de Mayo with a taco salad bowl. He initially refused to disavow former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke, before later doing so. And he has significant backing from white supremacists, especially online, where they harass his critics with vile and racist attacks.
The reality TV personality has taken the 2012 GOP “autopsy” — a set of recommendations the Republican National Committee released meant to broaden the party to minorities — and completely blown it up. With five months to go until November, and no sign their presumptive nominee is willing to change his approach, it’s difficult to see whether the Republican Party can repair its already low standing with non-white voters.
The Manhattan businessman’s only play may be over-performing with whites and independents. Clinton’s unfavorable with 75 percent of white people, 73 percent of whites with no college degree and 63 percent of independent voters, according to the Post/ABC poll. However, current polls show Trump isn’t in a stronger position than Mitt Romney was in 2012 to pull in enough white voters to win.
Now, I have problems with Clinton being too far to the right, and having too close ties with the big banks. However I believe she is a savvy enough leader, with a powerful style that she isn’t going to be stupid enough to hamstring her Administration, or Democrat majority Congress with the dumb arsed self defeating “bipartisanship”, and spineless timidity in speaking out about issues. She will take a sharp knife to the sort of BS extremist Republicans have been pulling and getting away with from day 1.
After several weeks of polls that showed Hillary Clinton only a few points ahead of Trump, and two that put her lead within the margin of error, Bloomberg on Tuesday released a pollgiving the former secretary of state a whopping 12-point lead on Trump in a head-to-head matchup. A popular vote with results in that range would lead to an electoral landslide, too: according to a Frontloading HQ analysis, released Monday, Clinton destroys Trump in the electoral college, 358 to 180. Last week, an ABC poll showed her winning the national map with 262 to 191, assuming Trump takes all the Republican-leaning states.
Another huge advantage Clinton and Democrats possess is the mathematics of the electoral college. Usually Republicans have the advantage in midterm elections because they are likely to achieve a stronger turnout than Democrats, while Democrats have the advantage in presidential elections because their turnout will be higher and, even more, because the state-by-state breakdown of electoral college math gives Democrats the edge.
Anything is possible in presidential politics, but things are shaping up to produce a Democratic landslide for Hillary Clinton similar to the landslide of Lyndon Johnson over Barry Goldwater in 1964.
The following article attempts to make the case that the mass exodus from the Republican Party in the late 60’s due to Goldwater’s anti Civil Rights stance was counterproductive. That somehow, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 failed because while it made the legal structure of Jim Crow in America…It didn’t go far enough in eliminating the structure of White Privilege which remained. Never mind that it was the Republicans, led by Goldwater who gutted the legal and criminal enforcement section of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act leveling criminal and civil sanctions against violators, and protecting the continuation of discrimination to this day.
I mean, what if the folks who constructed the predatory mortgage loan were looking at 5-10 years in Gen pop, instead of a financial slap on the wrist during the 2006 meltdown? The simple fact is, since Goldwater it has always been a “conservative principle” to protect the racists, and the institutions which benefit them. Things like propping up the racist Southern Myth that the Civil War wasn’t necessary because the kindly slave owners would have freed the slaves.
The reason that now, near 97% of black voters support Democrats is really simple…Nixon, Reagan, and Bush. It’s a perverse argument, made in one form or another by the right, and has the logic of the Jews joining the Nazi Party in 1930’s Germany, because eventually Hitler would have seen the light.
The other fiction presented by the author is that Jim Crow only lived in the South. That isn’t quite true.
Days before the 1960 election, Coretta Scott King received a call from then-candidate John F. Kennedy while her husband was in a Georgia jail, charged with trespassing after leading a sit-in demonstration against segregation in Atlanta. “This must be pretty hard on you, and I want to let you both know that I’m thinking about you and will do all I can to help,” Kennedy told her. The Democratic nominee’s brother and campaign manager, Robert Kennedy, called a DeKalb County Judge and successfully lobbied for Martin Luther King Jr.’s release.
The personal call and the timely intervention significantly bolstered Kennedy’s standing among black voters. They also strengthened the political alliance between the Democratic Party and African Americans. After his release, King praised Kennedy for exhibiting “moral courage of a high order.” His father, the influential Baptist pastor Martin Luther King Sr., said, “Kennedy can be my president, Catholic or whatever he is. I’ve got all my votes and I’ve got a suitcase and I’m going to take them up there and dump them in his lap.” Kennedy earned 68 percent of the black vote, which was the decisive factor in key states like Illinois, Michigan, and South Carolina.
Once in the White House, Kennedy faced pressure from civil-rights activists to make good on what King called a “huge promissory note” to pass meaningful civil-rights legislation. When President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, he cemented a political alliance between African Americans and the Democratic Party that continues to this day. But celebrating these landmark pieces of legislation makes it easy to overlook what black people in the United States lost when civil rights and equality for blacks were hitched to the Democratic Party.
While the passage of the Civil Rights Act helped Johnson earn support from 94 percent of black voters in 1964, there is a gulf between what black Americans hoped the legislation would achieve and what Democratic politicians actually delivered. Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 helped end apartheid conditions in the South, a critical objective for which grassroots black Southern activists fought and died, the legislation did little to address the structures of racism that shaped black lives in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. This was an intentional consequence of how the bill’s sponsors, largely liberals from the North, Midwest, and West, crafted the legislation.
After the 1964 election, where Republican candidate Barry Goldwater described the Civil Rights Act as unconstitutional, black voters essentially found themselves in a one-party system for presidential elections. Republicans turned their attention to white voters in the South and suburbs and have made few serious attempts in subsequent campaigns to appeal to the African American electorate. Richard Nixon in 1960 is the last Republican candidate to earn more than 15 percent of black votes.
This is a problem for black voters, because the Democratic Party’s vision of racial justice is also extremely limited. Northern liberals pioneered what scholars now call “colorblind racism.” That’s when racially neutral language makes extreme racial inequalities appear to be the natural outcome of innocent private choices or free-market forces rather than intentional public policies like housing covenants, federal mortgage redlining, public housing segregation, and school zoning.
Democratic lawmakers drafted civil-rights legislation that would challenge Jim Crow laws in the South while leaving de facto segregation in the North intact. When NBC News asked the civil-rights organizer Bayard Rustin why many African American communities rioted the summer after the bill passed, he said, “People have to understand that although the civil-rights bill was good and something for which I worked arduously, there was nothing in it that had any effect whatsoever on the three major problems Negroes face in the North: housing, jobs, and integrated schools…the civil-rights bill, because of this failure, has caused an even deeper frustration in the North.” Today’s protest movements against second-class citizenship in Baltimore, Ferguson, Oakland, and elsewhere are in part a legacy of the unresolved failures of civil-rights legislation. | 2019-04-20T18:45:17Z | https://btx3.wordpress.com/tag/black-voters/ | Porn | News | 0.204261 |

I'm bummed I didn't have the cash to spare for this event, but I'll be at the next one, no doubt about it! | 2019-04-26T00:27:45Z | https://designerslibrary.typepad.com/designers_library/2007/07/2nd-annual-sf-m.html | Porn | Shopping | 0.625328 |
wordpress | November is a month of health observances with many of them related to smoking and tobacco use. Everyone has probably heard of the Great American Smokeout that took place on the third Thursday of this month, but other observances including American Diabetes Month, COPD Awareness Month, and Lung Cancer Awareness Month also need our attention.
The human body is a marvelous machine that automatically keeps systems in check and balance, but sometimes it doesn’t work as it should. When your body is working correctly, the pancreas makes a hormone called insulin that allows the cells in your body to use sugar from the carbohydrates you eat for energy. Since sugar can’t be absorbed by the cells, insulin is released into the blood, and converts it to glucose to be absorbed by the body. If you don’t need the sugar, it is stored in your liver until the next time you need it. When your body doesn’t produce enough insulin, your blood sugar increases which can create problems over time. According to the American Diabetes Association, this is the most common form of diabetes called type 2. What does this have to do with tobacco? Most people aren’t aware that cigarettes and smokeless tobacco contain high amounts of sugar that contribute to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and may make it difficult to maintain good blood sugar levels. Nicotine also affects hormone levels and since insulin is a hormone, it could also affect insulin levels. You can learn more about diabetes by clicking the link for the American Diabetes Association.
The main cause of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is smoking, but even nonsmokers can develop this disease through environment exposures such as air pollution, secondhand smoke, and exposure to chemicals. COPD is a group of progressive lung diseases with the most common being emphysema, which “slowly destroys the air sacs in your lungs’, and chronic bronchitis, which “causes inflammation and narrowing of the bronchial tubes and allows mucus to build up.” There is no cure yet for COPD, but treatment can help ease the symptoms and improve your quality of life. You can learn more about COPD from the COPD Foundation.
Lung Cancer Awareness Month is also taking place in November and it is important to know that smoking causes 80-85% of lung cancers in the U.S., according to the Lung Cancer Alliance. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths for both men and women, and the risk increases the longer you smoke and the more you smoke. Lung cancer can also develop from being exposed to radon, (the second-leading cause of lung cancer), asbestos, and even secondhand smoke. Many smokers are turning to e-cigarettes thinking they are a healthier alternative; however, not enough is known regarding the potential for possible lung damage from the chemicals in the flavorings.
Everyone has their reasons why they started to smoke, but quitting will reduce the risks of developing any of the above diseases as well as others. It is not too late to improve your health and reverse the effects of smoking.

yahoo | Sai baba, real or fraud?
Some people think he's God. Others, think he's a child molesting scammer. What do you think?
Update: He has been shown materialising objects from his hand and barfing up golden eggs.
Update 2: Noooo.. I will not go to the Sai Baba Temple.. My parents go there, they got into it early on and all the teachings are good but nothing I don't know already. I used to go to the Temple in Hollywood and it's a good place to meet girls but with all respect I don't want to sell my soul just yet.
Here are two quotes about religion from Sai Baba.
"Each religion defines God within the limits it demarcates and then claims to have grasped Him. Like the seven blind men who spoke of the elephant as a pillar, a fan, a rope or a wall, because they contacted but a part and could not comprehend the entire animal, so too, religions speak of a part and assert that its vision is full and total.
If you want to find out more about Sai Baba, why not drop in a local chapter of Sai Organization in your city and meet the people there. At least you will be making up your own mind instead of depending on others to guide or misguide you.
Fraud.This just goes to prove how easy it is to become god.I predict that within 100yrs he will attain an almost mythical status like jesus or moses.
Probably jesus was also some sort of sai baba but he did not molest or scam.Sai baba is living proof that it is so easy to create prophets and gods even in this age.Just imagine what it would have been at the time of moses!!!!
Once I was watching Him addressing a gathering of people including some Christians as well.
He was telling story of Prophet Jesus Christ and he mentioned Jesus as Son of God, like Christians that means he also believe Jesus is Son of God. Why not he become Christian, and also advice his follower to accept Christianity instead of worshipping so many idols and man made things.
His, this type of behavior and loose faith indicates he is not even know himself what to follow and believe.
I am a Muslim and no Muslim will ever say Prophet Jesus as Son of God, because just to please Christians audience saying what they want is Hippocratic attitude and this type of attitude does not suits a true preacher and Holy personality.
He's a facking liar. Unfortunately, many clueless people actually believe in his divinity. Yuck.
If BS was green, this guy would be an 18-hole golf course.
He is Indian Benny Hinn.
No human can be a God for sure. Who ever born, will die.
God Almighty is since ever and will be for ever.
Is it true that Sai Baba is a fraud?
Is it sathya sai baba fraud?
Is Sri Sathya Sai baba(of Puttaparthi) a God, a Fraud or just a good human being ?
Is bhagavan satya sai baba real god.do you have belief in him?
Is SAI BABA IS A REAL PERSON ? | 2019-04-22T16:14:25Z | https://malaysia.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080207001516AAVoYsj | Porn | Reference | 0.42622 |
livejournal | Games were: Settlers (x2), Scrabble, Unexploded Cow, My Dwarves Fly, and Gloom. "War and Sheep" caused much comment but it's only a 2PG and didn't get used.
Contributions from Peter Sellers (never ask Karen about her David Niven anecdotes) and Versuvio Pizza rounded off a really fine afternoon / evening.
Bit zoned out now so I'm not really catching the frequent hilarity and lunacy of last night (who "warned" itsjustaname about me anyway?), but I think it's going to have to be done again.
Sorry I missed it... but I don't think any of you would particularly want this cold that I've got at the moment.
Cheers guys! Versuvio Pizza like their garlic on the garlic bread, don't they?
That reminds me, I need to borrow my dad's copies of The Moon's A Balloon and Bring On The Empty Horses ... they don't make 'em like that anymore.
Winston will be back, I tell you!
I think that The Moon's A Balloon is the source of that particular anecdote.
It was a good day, I'd certainly be up for doing it again. Thank you both for your hospitality.
'Twas an enjoyable evening. Thankyou both for organising, hosting, and general hospitality.
Warned? About what a shark you are? That would surely be me. | 2019-04-18T22:28:26Z | https://wechsler.livejournal.com/687767.html | Porn | Games | 0.650893 |
wordpress | Hapag-Lloyd Cruises has introduced its 2015-2016 Hanseatic expedition cruise brochure, offering eleven adventurous and enriching itineraries in English on board the world’s only 5-star* expedition ship. From 2015/16 Hapag-Lloyd Cruises will offer international expedition cruises on the Hanseatic, while fleetmate Bremen will be marketed in the German-speaking market. Bremen will still but will be available for English-language charters however.
In 2015-2016 the Hanseatic will travel to Antarctica, Chile, Greenland, the Arctic and the Amazon, with voyages ranging from 15 to 20 days. All cruises will be operated in English, ensuring UK, Irish, North American, Caribbean and Australasian passengers feel comfortable from the moment they step on board. All documentation will be in English and the crew are fluent in English. Daily programs, menus, lectures, announcements and Zodiac tours will all be available in English, and English shore excursions can also be arranged at ports of call, just as in the past.
The 5-star* Hanseatic was built to provide intensive exploration in the most elegant surroundings for a maximum of 175 guests. The design of the ship – with a low draught of just 16 feet, overall length of 403 feet, and the highest ice class for passenger ships allow Hanseatic to travel to destinations previously inaccessible to cruise ships.
An intensive expedition between the shores of Iceland to Greenland’s wild fjords and mountainous coastline. Guests can view captivating colonies of birds and diverse plant species; call at informative museums while ashore in Greenland, enjoy natural history walks and see the impressive show of gigantic, towering ice masses in Disko Bay.
Both expedition ships Hanseatic and Bremen are well equipped for travel in difficult waters, holding the highest Ice Class ranking for passenger vessels (E4 or 1A Super). Shallow drafts and high manoeuvrability allow the ships to enter waters larger cruise vessels cannot. Guests explore the world’s best-kept secrets in Zodiacs with only 10-12 guests. On board experts include a team of experienced scientists, expedition leaders and specialists who guide landings and offer guests the rare opportunity to observe plant and animal life up close. However, what makes these expedition adventures standout for guests is the security of knowing that highly experienced captains are guiding the vessels and have together already travelled to the Arctic and Antarctica more than 200 times.
For more information on Hapag-Lloyd Cruises’ exciting destinations and itineraries please call Gay Scruton at The Cruise People Ltd in London or e-mail cruise@cruisepeople.co.uk to request a copy of the 2015-16 brochure. | 2019-04-20T02:20:32Z | https://hapaglloydcruises.wordpress.com/2014/08/22/hapag-lloyd-cruises-2015-2016-hanseatic-expedition-cruise-brochure-is-now-available/ | Porn | Business | 0.374205 |
wordpress | It is my hope that you will send this story to your legislators… they will do nothing. However that is a crime and a violation of your constitutional rights as Article 1, Sec 1 of Washington’s constitution demands “governments are established to protect individual rights”. This RICO organization that operates in our courts with lawyers and judges in an association-in-fact to commit and cover up crimes needs to be addressed and prosecuted. | 2019-04-24T00:27:17Z | https://animallawnewsandabuse.wordpress.com/2017/01/04/the-eau-de-toilette-of-malicious-prosecution-in-king-county/ | Porn | Reference | 0.334812 |
wordpress | Well well well, what do we have here? Let’s just say that Hyde, Jekyll, Me is quite the opposite from Kill Me, Heal Me, even though both dramas focus on dissociative identity disorder. It is whimsical and pretty in so many different ways, much like its Wonderland setting. Where KMHM has a kind dominant personality and rough alter, HJM is the opposite. The main personality is Seo-Jin, cold prince…well sociopath extraordinaire. He describes himself as the perfect saint, preventing himself from feeling anything, indulging in anything, and doing anything that is not his work. This is all to keep his vitals below that dangerous number of 150. Once he reaches that mark, Robin, his alter pops out. Robin, however, is the kind, soul-saving, OMG KILLER SMILE (so swoony), man that was born out of Seo-Jin’s guilt and past trauma. His family knows about Seo-Jin’s Robin sized problem, well I wouldn’t call it a problem since he is so nice, and keeps him tasered and under wraps.
Meanwhile, Jang Ha-na, daughter of the Wonderland’s late circus ringmaster comes back to South Korea to save the circus group from getting cut. In an effort to extend the contract, she runs into Seo-jin many ties and they develop an immediate dislike to each other. However, Ha-na becomes involved in a missing persons situation and is the sole witness to who captured Dr. Kang, the psychiatrist who has the solution to Seo-Jin’s DID. As Ha-na was being strangled by the kidnapper, she rejected by Seo-Jin, but saved by Robin (who had apparently saved her when she was younger). Ha-na now undergoes hypnosis by a famous student of Dr. Kang’s, but now is also in danger from the kidnapper. Robin appears again to save Ha-na from danger and confuses her as he has the same face as Seo-Jin, but is a complete free spirit instead. | 2019-04-24T20:24:49Z | https://picadrama.wordpress.com/2015/01/ | Porn | Arts | 0.48309 |
wordpress | We enter the Northern Territory with an unfamiliar feeling. A desire to push on through this alluring patch of our country, stopping only at the attractions fringing the most direct route south to cooler pastures. Although this is an unfamiliar feeling on our Australian expedition, we realise we experienced the same inner drive just over a year ago when travelling in sweltering pre-monsoonal India and we made a dash for the wave lapping shores of Eastern Sri Lanka.
That being said, we maintain our focus on the present and enjoy the journey, remembering to keep the desire for our destination in the background. Our first night provides stunning ridges 360 degrees around us with a beautiful morning hike along a ridge rich in Aboriginal history.
Benson gets into the Aboriginal spirit and paints his face with the red dirt.
After driving an average of only 100km every few days while in the West, pushing between 500 to 800km a day wears us down a little but stopping always provides a pick-me-up. The pools of Mataranka definitely deliver.
Our friends of the road Andy & Che told us about a couple working at the Mataranka Roadhouse with a similar story to ours. Ryan and Peta, like us, made a snap decision to pack up, rent out the house and hit the road. Bringing along their best friend Jango an adorable boxer. With the majority of our fellow travellers being of the grey nomad variety, it’s refreshing to hang out with some crew our own age. We park up the van behind the roadhouse and enjoy a good yarn over a few beers.
The Daly Waters pub is a quirky little watering hole in the middle of The Territory. I’ve seen it countless times before on TV, but it’s fun to get up close to the mosaic of drivers licenses, pictures, stickers and stories from all corners of the earth, stuck to the bar and walls underneath the fine collection of bras hanging from the ceiling.
Exploring the Devils Marbles lets us and the dogs stretch our legs after a long day in the car.
I service the car in the Alice Springs auto shop car park while Jill stocks up the fridge and pantry. The next couple of nights are spent in the bush off dirt roads and we get up early to hike around Kings Canyon.
The domes on top of the canyon look just like those of the bungle bungles. The cliff face of the canyon is so sheer it’s like it was split with a giants axe!
We spot Uluru from over 100km away. As we get closer, the presence of this rock overwhelms us. It stands so tall and proud, jutting straight out of the desert, commanding a sense of awe.
I have the time of my life shooting her from all different angles in various light.
We hike the 10km around the base early one morning and enjoy all its faces and the rich Aboriginal culture and history.
We spend our days in the pool or in the van running the manual air con for the dogs. We keep wetting their hair every half hour and place them in front of the fan. It was so hot our solar system even stopped working, I thought these things loved the sun! Then our awning got destroyed by a crazy gust of wind, which disappeared as quickly as it arrived.
We also spent a morning hiking through the beautiful Kata Tjuta.
We had a brief but awesome time in the NT. We will definitely be back here when the weather is more hospitable for us and the dogs.

That’s the cutest shot of Benson. And you sure look like the Intrepid seasoned Outback traveller Matt with your hat, backpack and camera. Pics of “the Rock” are awesome – especially the purple one.
Thanks mum. I had heaps of fun driving and hiking around to find new perspectives. It changes so much with the light too. That’s a classic shot of happy Benson which we see so much of. He loves going on walks and smelling new places. | 2019-04-24T22:14:20Z | https://mattandjillwentupthehill.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/dash-through-the-territory/ | Porn | Recreation | 0.934479 |
wordpress | We officially have had people working in our house for a full two months. As you know, we are not yet living there. It’s an ideal situation, in some regards. We don’t have to be without the ability to cook. We don’t have to move our stuff out of the way. And when we want to get away from the action, we can head back to the apartment. There are definite advantages to not living in a remodel zone. But! There is a major disadvantage to living off-site: The house becomes merely a work-zone. Void of all possessions and other signs of people living there, it is treated with a sort of disrespect that isn’t intentional, but apparent. In recent days, I have been frustrated by the mess upon more mess. I was okay with it before the brand new things started to get installed. But, now we have a new wood floor, fresh painted walls, cabinetry, and new carpeting upstairs. I feel like no one has noticed, and the dust continues to fly! Last night I was at the house shop-vacing like a maniac, a bit horrified to find vast amounts of wood scraps, sawdust, and an occasional screw under the paper and cardboard, which was originally laid to protect the floor. All it did was serve to say “No need to clean up! There’s cardboard to make it all disappear!” I was freaking out about not having control over this issue…..And I have brought my concerns up… Me: “Maybe we should reschedule the carpeting, considering there is still concrete to be poured in the laundry upstairs, and closets to be trimmed?” Them: “Ah, it will be fine!” but it hasn’t really made a difference. Oh well. It’s hard, because the guys working on our place are so nice, and, you know, it’s hard to keep complaining! I was at the house “working” most of today, but the real reason I was there was to make darn sure no one was wearing their dirty work boots upstairs! Yes, the carpet survived, but there sure are a lot of dirty finger prints on my fresh-painted doors! It’s a battle I won’t win, and anyway, once my four kids arrive, the house will be anything but pristine! Hand-wipe anyone??
My father-in law Dale transformed our upstairs bath vanities with a bit of wood filler and paint. I will most definitely post “before and after” photos, but I haven’t gotten to the wall paint yet….Look for these in next week’s post!
LOVE my new carpet upstairs!
The Berg brothers after laying the green carpet pad.
Here’s my carpet! It’s all wool, low-pile. Love it!
Despite feeling a little “left in the dust”, I still think very highly of our builder/project manager. He’s a hard-worker, and more importantly, he has remained calm, cool, and collected throughout this process. My hero!
Flooring guy to the rescue! Tom has cleaned the floor (hasta la vista, filthy cardboard!), and prepares for the final coat he will apply tomorrow.
It’s official! The movers are scheduled for 9am, March 16. Hope I have time to touch base with you all before then! | 2019-04-23T16:49:57Z | https://thismodhouse.wordpress.com/2013/03/08/renovation-month-3-begins/ | Porn | Business | 0.304859 |
wordpress | 8 years ago I went to see my Doctor for a routine check-up and mammogram. I was healthy, busy and didn’t give a second thought that like every other year the Doctor would say I was in excellent health. She didn’t. She told me to see a surgeon. She said my mammogram was read and it appeared to be textbook breast cancer. In a minute my life changed.
Digital mammography is fantastically fast. Before you get dressed the radiologist reads your mammogram and either sends you on your way, asks for another view, or recommends you see your physician.
Mammograms have come a long way from the big squish times. Yes the squish is still there but it is such a short amount of time you hardly feel it. When you are asked to hold your breath the procedure is so fast that you aren’t even gulping for air!
Many women are reluctant to have a mammogram because they are afraid of the results. The other excuse women give for not having a yearly mammogram is lack of insurance or the cost. As far as the cost goes, many states have assistance for mammograms and the Komen foundation; http://www.komen.org/ can also assist for some uninsured low income women. As far as the fear factor, when breast cancer is diagnosed early the survival rate is 98%. If you have insurance it really is a no brainer. How busy can you be in the grand scheme of life?
http://www.nawbo.org/ has over 70,000 members and many more read their on line ‘brief’.
I was shocked to see these results? If I was to buy a product and saw they had a special packaging that gave even .05 to breast cancer charities, I would buy it. Why wouldn’t I?
Do women think that a ‘pink’ product that supports breast cancer awareness never goes to the charities? Do they think it is just a marketing come-on? There is even a name, ‘Pink Washing’. Breast cancer 25 years ago was not talked about except a hushed whisper. It was considered a woman’s cancer. When women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the not so distant past, their husbands were told about their wife’s disease. Breast cancer awareness has come a long way from then and we are all better for it!
Recently Kentucky Fried Chicken and Komen for the Cure http://www.komen.org/ came under attack with their partnership. Five cents was donated for every family size bucket that was bought during a period of time. Yes, Kentucky Fried Chicken is not a health food and is counter intuitive to healthy eating and cancer prevention, with-out question. The reality is many people eat KFC often and why not garner a donation from folks that may not otherwise donate to Komen? Why not give people who eat KFC and know they shouldn’t a bit less guilt? $4.2 million was raised.
My company, http://www.haralee.com/, supports breast cancer research and gives a portion of every sale to breast cancer charity. During the month of October we give more. We don’t have to have been a socially conscious company but we choose to reward the purchasing power of our customers that shop with us. We want our customers to feel good about their purchase on many levels and supporting breast cancer research is one way it becomes a win-win situation.
Since it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a special mention has to be made this year to Nancy Brinker’s book about her sister, Susan Komen and the start of the biggest grass roots effort to find a cure for breast cancer.
The book, ‘Promise Me’ is a double or triple hanky tear jerker. The relationship between the sisters is very special and heartwarming. Susan died 30 years ago at age 36. A good friend of mine has a sister that has had breast cancer and a reoccurrence and she told me that her sister “means everything to her”. This same sentiment is felt from Nancy’s book about her sister Suzy.
The Susan G Komen foundation, http://www.komen.org/, in their 28 years has invested $1 billion in breast cancer research and community outreach programs, becoming the World’s largest source of nonprofit funds fighting the disease. Komen for the Cure has 125 affiliates across the United States, Germany, Italy and Puerto Rico and continues to grow. Rarely does a woman go through breast cancer treatments these days that the influence from Komen funds is not felt. From drug research and diagnostic testing to local community programs such as free mammograms, exercise programs and support groups. Each year local affiliates award Komen for the Cure community grants for up to $40, 00.00 to support locally these efforts.
I am proud to be an ambassador for the Komen for the Cure charity. I speak about breast cancer to various groups or health fairs. I have sat on the peer review committee for grants, but prefer the one on one interaction available at health fairs. As a survivor, people feel a connection to share their story of themselves, their Mother, sister or friend with me. The promise that started between sisters 30 years ago to find a cure continues. There still is no cure for breast cancer.

luckymojo | Hello. What is a typical offering to st.martha? We really don't have pound cake here, we have something called Madera cake which is very similar. But I have read green candles but some say red? And perfume?
It's all down to the site! I am learning so much.
The practitioner said it's to keep the jar going as long as possible. But vinegar is a preservative.
Also I didn't think vodka would be something historically used.
I'm a now off to start constructing jar 2.
This person in the video also put in vodka. Which just seemed completely wrong.
From the sounds of it my original jar was on the right track.
I was watching a video on YouTube that said to put coffee in a vinegar jar to ground it in the here and now? As well as star anis?
For a bit o thought I was going to have to do that jar again too.
My jar is just honey and petition.
I've heard adding things like rose petals or cinnamon(to speed it up) can be added?
I guess it's a bit like switching from driving an automatic to a stick. Both are driving but one requires a bit more skill and learning to do with proficiency.
Wow. I grew up with this. My.mother was -obsessed- with putting it on us as children or when we moved house. When my children were born first thing was 4711 and on the babies foreheads(she'd cross them) and on their wrists. Then on the hem of the bassinet skirting.
It's the smell of my childhood.
I am trying to read -every- page of this forum. But I am getting so confused.
That's very reasonable!!! I will need to work my finances but... Aye I think I will go for this!
I looked at the link...I think I missed the price though.
Is the vinager jar spell forum still active? I posted about my jar lid breaking. Am I able to transfer the contents to a new jar?
Thank you. I really don't mean to offend.
Thank you. I really appreciate it. I think I may do this too.
I was just trying to think of how to do it.
I'm sorry. I am new to this.
With the letter or card...how would I do that? I thought to mix the hexing powder in with glitter so when it was opened it would get on everything. But how would I include my petition? I mean I don't want her to see it.
I live in an apartment. While I do salt and cleanse all entries to the home...how would I dispose of remains of spells? No cross roads here are quiet enough etc.
Also if I can't bury the spell on their step...anyway to say send a card or letter that upon opening would activate it? | 2019-04-24T23:55:43Z | http://forum.luckymojo.com/member/belle_tristesse/posts/ | Porn | Kids | 0.10974 |
wordpress | How do you make an interesting football programme? It is not an easy question but it seems that Duncan Jones, BBC’s Late Kick Off producer, has found a recipe. Last Thursday he offered the audience of Coventry Conversations the story of his career in BBC some months before he leaves it.
“BBC and sports journalism have been very good to me. But I wanted to do something closer to the audience and interact with them.” said Duncan.
That is how everything began. His wish to give the fans something they will not see on any other show lead to the creation of Late Kick Off – the football programme that gives the audience an extra insight into the issues of the most beloved sport in England. Duncan pointed out that people deserve to know what is happening behind the scenes rather than observing the game only.
“There is more in football than just the goals and what is happening on the pitch” he said.
While all national media is “drawn by the top clubs”, Duncan tries to provide coverage for all the teams his audience is interested in. He gave an example with a short film before the match Cardiff-Leicester showing the material improvements that had been made in the team.
He describes the audiences as “appreciative”. He always knows what they think of their pieces, which is an essential aspect for him. Duncan tries to get “as wider coverage as possible in an entertaining and informative way”. Thus he engages the viewers with problems they are concerned with like the future of their favourite clubs.
According to Duncan, The Late Kick Off definitely is definitely advantaged by Facebook and Twitter. Whenever they want to get a feedback from the fans, they put a question on their wall and receive a lot of responses which Duncan finds “refreshing”.
“Social media has made it instant and as a producer you now know what people think of you immediately”, he added.
Duncan also said the show gets a lot of audience in the iPlayer. He regularly tweets about the programme to those who missed it. | 2019-04-18T21:16:31Z | https://cutoday.wordpress.com/2012/03/28/sport-behind-the-scenes-duncan-jones/ | Porn | Sports | 0.987776 |
wordpress | I milk every ounce of the $7 I pay Netflix each month. I scraped cable nearly four years ago and have not looked back. A family member was lamenting last week that there was nothing on television, although she forks over a cool $70+ per month on satellite services. I had to to fight from giving a Kanye shrug. WINNING!
Aside from Binge watching television programming like Law and Order and Frasier, Netflix provides me access to quite a few independent films and theatrical releases that didn’t last too long in the theater.
This month, there are quite a few interesting films to watch during Black History Month. So if you have considered adding Netflix to your entertainment cadre, this would be an advantageous time to do so. When watching films with children, you can use the Story Chips tool to assist in establishing thoughtful dialogue. Also, consider incorporating a hands-on project after viewing, such as creating a movie poster for the film highlighting one o the pivotal scenes or important themes.
Here’s a list of sixteen films presently available for viewing for each of the remaining days of Black History Month.
Winnie Mandela – a biopic starring Jennifer Hudson as the South African leader who triumphed over incarceration and her husband’s twenty-seven year imprisonment. The last decade shown in the film is some of the most gripping as it shows her relationship with Mandela and the ANC fractured due to her embracing militant ideals and practices.
The Black Panther Mixtape – I’m watching the tail-end of this Swedish documentary now. It’s intriguing to observe the words of Stokely Carmichael (I did not know he was Trinidadian) and Bobby Seale laced with John Forte and Talib Kewli. The timeline format aids in understanding how events unfolded and attitudes shifted.
Surviving Katrina – a documentary on the hurricane which raged through New Orleans and exposed the socio-political issues we have in our nation.
Hard Lessons – Starring Denzel Washington, this drama based on real-life events tells the story of George McKenna, the tough, determined new principal of a notorious Los Angeles high school.
The Long Walk Home – A film, starring Whoopi Goldberg, about the Montgomery bus boycott from the perspective of a white woman and her black housekeeper.
The Journey of August King – a film about a runaway slave during the 1815.
Savannah – A film starring Chiwetel Ejiofor as a freed slave during Reconstruction and his friendship with an aristocratic white man.
Night Catches Us – Starring Kerri Washington, a film depicting a former Panther and his re-connection with the daughter of a former Panther leader.
Salute – a short documentary on the 1968 Olympic historic moment when two champions raised the black fist salute at the medal podium.
Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin – A documentary about one of the major architects of the Civil Rights Movement.
Shaft – Starring Samuel L. Jackson in the John Singleton remake based on the story created by illustrious photographer Gordon Parks.
Luv, Starring Common as a man returning home after eight years in prison.
A Band Called Death – a documentary about three Detroit brothers who formed the first African American punk band.
Akeelah and the Bee – A middle school girl capitalizes on her love of words to participate in the National Spelling Bee Competition.
Gifted Hands – Cuba Gooding, Jr portrays neurosurgeon Ben Carson in a biopic showing his development from a struggling student into an expert physician.
All Things Fall Apart – Under the direction of Mario Van Peeples, 50 Cents stars as a gifted college running back whose world turns upside down when a crisis jeopardizes his professional ambitions — and teaches him some life lessons.

wordpress | Memorial Day is a day set aside to remember the men and women who died while serving their country in the United States military. This year’s federal holiday, Memorial Day falls on May 27th. This holiday started after the Civil War but continues today. Memorial day was known as Decoration Day but later changed. In some of the southern states, people visit graves of lost ones and “decorate” their graves with flowers, flags and gifts to show honor. Usually during this decoration day, families travel to the gravesite for a reunion.
Memorial Day should be used to honor those individual who risked their lives for our country while serving in the United States Armed Forces. My son is in Japan serving in the Air Force. My husband served in Saudi Arabia during “Desert Storm”. My father served in Vietnam during the “Vietnam War” and was wounded by stepping on a booby trap. Even though they were not killed, they should be remembered and honored during this Memorial Day. Just like others who have taken time away from family, missed the birth of their children, missed graduations and birthdays. All should be honored and appreciated.
The Afghanistan War continues in the Gulf and has been ongoing for over 11 years. It started back after the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001. The United States led an attack on the Al-Qaeda, the Islamic terrorist organization in order to dismantle and remove the power of the Taliban, an Islamic fundamentalist regime. Many have died from that war and deaths still occur. Please join me and keep those in your thoughts and prayers.

cnn | Two to three glasses of wine a day may not be as good for the heart as previously thought, the study says.
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Drinking two to three glasses of wine a day may not be such good medicine for the heart after all, a team of experts say in a leading medical journal.
Under a heading "no such thing as a free lunch," The Lancet says experts in a new study have concluded that "coronary protection from light to moderate drinking will be very small."
Various studies published in the 1970s and 1980s suggested that small to moderate alcohol consumption had a protective effect on coronary artery disease, says the report.
One suggests that having up to three drinks a day, each containing about 10 grams of alcohol, can reduce heart attack risk by a quarter.
But the celebrations may be premature, according to Dr Rod Jackson and three colleagues from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
Writing in The Lancet, they suggest that the apparent protective effect of alcohol may be largely due to "confused research."
Instead they say any benefit from light to moderate drinking is probably small and unlikely to outweigh the harm to health caused by alcohol.
If anything, the evidence of heart protection is more convincing for heavy drinkers, say the experts.
Post mortem studies show that dead alcoholics have relatively "clean" arteries. But for this group, the dangers of alcohol abuse greatly outweigh any benefit from alcohol.
Research pointing to the protective effect of alcohol was first published in the 1970s and 1980s. These early observations were confirmed by a meta-analysis -- a pooling together of findings from different studies -- which indicated a 20 to 25 percent reduction in heart disease risk linked to light drinking.
But the Auckland team point out that these studies were not sufficiently "randomized" to avoid confounding errors.
Any positive association could easily be due to confusing factors that were not considered, the experts say. For instance, people who stop drinking because of heart problems may be misclassified as "never drinkers" in studies.
A study this year on 200,000 U.S. adults found that 27 of 30 cardiovascular risk factors were significantly more common in non-drinkers than light to moderate drinkers.
Such risk factors, already present in study participants, could sway the results, it is suggested.
"While moderate to heavy drinking is probably coronary-protective, any benefit will be overwhelmed by the known harms," say Dr. Jackson's team.
"If so, the public health message is clear. Do not assume there is a window in which the health benefits of alcohol are greater than the harms -- there is probably no free lunch."
The experts drew a comparison with the debate over hormone replacement therapy and heart disease. A non-randomized study, called the Nurses' Health Study, originally reported a halving of heart disease risk in postmenopausal women on HRT.
Later, more carefully conducted trials showed that HRT does not reduce heart disease risk, and the original findings were probably due to confounding factors.
The Nurses Health Study investigators found that light to moderate alcohol consumption offered about the same level of protection against heart disease as HRT.
Belinda Linden, head of medical information at the British Heart Foundation, told the UK's Press Association: "This comment suggests that light to moderate alcohol consumption may only give a small amount of protection against coronary heart disease, while the benefits of moderate to heavy drinking are likely to be outweighed by the overall harm that alcohol can also cause.
"The good news is that people can still enjoy alcohol in moderation, especially during the festive period.
"There is no evidence to suggest that light to moderate alcohol consumption will actually harm the heart.
"However over indulging can have an adverse effect on your health. We should not encourage people to start drinking specifically to protect their heart, as there are much safer options.
"Our advice remains the same - the best way to reduce the risk of heart disease is to quit smoking if you smoke, increase levels of physical activity and eat a healthy balanced diet." | 2019-04-25T07:59:46Z | http://www.cnn.com/2005/HEALTH/diet.fitness/12/02/wine.lancet/index.html | Porn | Health | 0.172796 |
yahoo | HRELF - Haier Electronics Group Co., Ltd.
Dec.10 -- Zhang Ruimin, chairman and chief executive officer of household appliance maker Haier Group, says the arrest of Huawei Technologies Co.’s chief financial officer Meng Wangzhou is disturbing business leaders in China. Zhang spoke in an exclusive interview with Bloomberg's Rachel Chang.
“What we worry about is, you can’t without reason impede a business person’s legitimate rights, even personal safety,” Zhang said in an interview in Qingdao on Monday. Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou was detained Dec. 1 in Canada at the request of the U.S. on charges that she conspired to defraud banks so that they cleared millions of dollars in transactions linked to Iran, in violation of American sanctions.

wordpress | Monday, August 6, 2018, Day 1, Home to Gridley via I-5, CA99.
It was the dog days of summer, and we wanted to go see my twin sis, Gale, and her hubby John, in Gridley – even though the days would be near triple digits. With the fridge fixed, it was time to hit the road – even if only for a couple hundred miles!
The morning began with a heck of a disappointment as I walked down to the coach to bring Big Blue from the RV lot up to the house. I had turned on the fridge the night before, so the first thing I did was to check that it was nice and cold. But no! It had somehow not stayed on and the familiar “no co” code was flashing on the front display which meant “not cold”! My heart sank after having fixed it. I simply turned it on again, and it stayed on. And it worked just fine all day – once it got cold. These propane/electric fridges are very slow to cool down. But cool down it did and we were relieved!
As we loaded the coach, I paused to show off the pizza we’d have for dinner with Gale and John.
We busied ourselves packing the coach that mild August morning, and pulled out of our little senior gated community a bit after 1000 hours. It didn’t stay mild for long, but the usual valley heat seemed stunted by all the haze from the many smoky fires all over Kalifornistan. It seemed the fires were burning the whole state down this summer and the news reported that we were in the worst wildfire year ever!
A highway sign along I-5 warned drivers that two state highways were closed due to the fires. It had been the state’s worst fire year ever.
Crossing the Feather River on CA99 in Sutter County.
Our drive was unremarkable, as we like, and we pulled into the Gridley Safeway parking lot a few minutes before noon. We brought along strawberries with the pizza, and Lavonne had baked a cake to make strawberry short cake for dessert after the pizza dinner. I went into the store and bought whipped creme. I also bought a couple pieces of chicken from the deli – and a small ambrosia salad to go with it. Lavonne whipped up a tuna sandwich there in the coach while I did the shopping. We like to have lunch before we arrive at Gale and John’s so they don’t have to worry about serving lunch for us.
After lunch aboard the coach in town, we drove the short distance into the country and arrived at Gale and John’s at 1330.
Parked nearly in John’s garden for our visit.
After setting up the coach for our overnight stay, we greeted Gale and John in the house and we all visited the afternoon away – save the time we went back to the coach for our naps as Gale also rested. We old folks need our rest!
The old folks at dinner. That’s my sweet twin sis, Gale, on the left, her hubby John, that Tom Selleck look alike, and his loving wife, Lavonne. I can report that pizza and corn on the cob go great together!
Around 1700 John and Lavonne began dinner by putting the “take-n-bake” Papa Murphy pizza in the oven. I also brought some corn on the cob, and we enjoyed that with our pizza.
For dessert we whipped up the much anticipated strawberry short cakes, and they were superb! They were a delicious dessert on a warm summer evening.
After dinner, Gale and I sang gospel songs as she accompanied us on the piano. We enjoyed a lovely visit with Gale and John, and when we returned to the coach for the evening we spent a couple hours online, as usual. Lavonne played her usual word games and I began this travelogue. We slept well aboard Big Blue, and we ran the air conditioners to keep us comfy ’til after bed time.
We were up and about sometime after 0600 and greeted the new day. It was a cool and comfy morning out there in the country near Gridley, but it wouldn’t last; the weather was to be smoky and hot again.
We clacked away on the computers after morning chores, and waited for the phone call to let us know they were up and about in the house.
My dear twin, Gale, suffers from a disability related to Parkinson’s that has made her unable to walk. She seems fine otherwise as we visit, and joins right in with our conversations. But life is challenging for folks with such disabilities, and that includes their spouses. John is seemingly always busy with the many chores of running the house and caring for Gale. And sometimes mornings run a bit late for them as they prepare to meet the day.
We went in to continue our visit, and as usual, it was decided that John and I would run into town and pick up breakfast at the local Mickey D’s. We returned with yummy breakfasts for all – except for Lavonne who opted for healthier oatmeal.
We arrived home at 1300 and commenced the unloading of our stuff. I am very pleased to report that the fridge really is fixed, and it ran fine during the entire trip both on propane and electric. What a relief!
We’re looking forward to our big trip next month to Denver to see the kids there, then perhaps on to Tennessee and Graceland. I can hardly wait! | 2019-04-21T02:43:18Z | https://fishwisher.wordpress.com/2018/08/07/another-quick-trip-to-gridley/ | Porn | Shopping | 0.960355 |
