The Sun-Microsoft settlement seems to mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but I realize that my needs are very simple: I want to be able to write Java code for the .Net platform.I think there are a lot of people that feel the same way. I know of a few projects that migrated to something like Python just because they could use the wx* modules. What are your thoughts?
I don't mean writing Java on a Windows platform (I do that every day and it's working very well), but being able to access the native Win32/.Net API's from Java. Right now, if I want to write an add-in for Outlook, I need to switch to C#. Not a huge deal in itself, and it's actually a fairly pleasant experience, but I was promised "Java everywhere" and I'm still waiting.

Artist: Soulja Boy Tell’em
Representing: Atlanta/ Hip-Hop’s Next Generation
Mixtape: Teen of the South
411: Soulja Boy hears the flak he catches for his lyrical deficiency on songs such as “Crank That” and “Yahhh!” However, the 18-year-old says he can really spit if he wanted to. He’s not gonna let his detractors knock him off his grind while making his second LP, iSouljaBoy, which is due later this year. He’s going to keep his music geared toward the party.
“If I wanted to, [I could] go that route and be respected [not for] my success … respected [for] my music and my lyrics or whatever,” he said about switching up his steez. He’s not going to do that officially. But Soulja did say that he put more emphasis on his wordplay while making his new street CD.
“That’s why I did the mixtape that I did,” he said. “I did a mixtape called Teen of the South with DJ Scream. And I did that just to step my game up a little bit on that [lyrical] side. But I wasn’t really going into no album and just full-fledge trying to switch my swagger and try to get respect from the game. ‘Cause why would I show love to the game? The game don’t show you love back. So I wasn’t gonna do that and come back out and mess up my image and mess up myself. I was going on the strength that I want respect from people who probably don’t like me anyway. So I’m gonna stick to what I do and stay being successful and I’ll do some mixtapes and some futures, something like that.”
The first single from iSouljaBoy is coming soon. He expects it to be just as big as “Crank That.”
“I ain’t giving away nothing,” he responded when asked for details. “Polow Da Don did the beat. That’s all I’ll say. Polow did the beat. I ain’t saying who’s featured on it or nothing like that. I’m just saying when it comes out. We ain’t doing no leaks, we ain’t doing nothing. When it comes out, straight video, straight radio, all in the same day.”
Joints To Check For
» “Gucci Bandana” (featuring Shawty Lo and Gucci Mane). “All of us, we from Atlanta, Georgia,” Soulja said. “I’m from South Atlanta. Shawty Lo from West Atlanta. Gucci Mane is from East Atlanta. And basically, you know, it’s swagger. It’s all about your swag. Dudes going Louis. Dudes going Gucci. Dudes going Prada. So I was like, ‘Let me go Gucci real quick.’ We hooked up, went into the studio, knocked the song out. And basically, it’s like three 12-[bar] verses. We just spittin’ about how swagged-out we are, basically. Just a swag record. I went in, I did the beat.”
» “iDance.” “That was gonna be my first single leading into my second album,” Mr. Tell’em told us. “It was a hot record. Three million views on YouTube. Two million plays, all that. But I didn’t wanna go back that route no more. Like, I was already successful with a big dance song. This record was incorporated with a dance. It was another big dance. And it was about to take over again. I told the record company, I was like, ‘Stop. I don’t wanna come back dancing.’ ‘Cause the question that everybody’s asking is, like, ‘What am I gonna come back with?’ So I could have took back over with that record, but I think dancing is starting to get a little corny. So I was like, ‘Man, I’m gonna hold off on that tip.’ So I just threw it on the mixtape. It’s heavy in the streets. We gonna shoot an underground video to it.”
» “Shopping Spree” (featuring Yo Gotti and Gucci Mane). “Basically the record is just talking about [the fact that] I’m successful in the industry, so I got a lot of cheese,” the young millionaire said. “[I made] $6 mil at 16. So basically I’m just saying I’m on a shopping spree. Just talking cash money, that’s all.”

We had Ludacris and DJ Drama on Mixtape Monday Video a few weeks ago telling you about their collaboration, Gangsta Grillz: The Preview. As predicted, the tape is causing a stir. Luda is as entertaining as ever with his metaphors and flows, and as you’ve heard, the tape is being talked about from the ‘hood to presidential-campaign tour buses. Now, despite Barack Obama’s camp saying they weren’t amused with “Politics as Usual,” you can bet that the Illinois senator is getting Luda’s vote come November. They had a chance to meet and chop it up some time ago.
“I went to Barack Obama’s office right before he started running for president,” ‘Cris told us. “So, you know, we went in and talked and everything. People were wondering what we talked about — it was confidential. But I was a firm supporter of Barack even before he decided to run for the presidency. So I’m all for it, man. We’re making history, and we’re still going strong. So make sure you vote Obama, believe that. ’08!”
The Streets Is Talking: News & Notes From The Underground
50 was just joking. He doesn’t really want the songs he did with Dre back, but he does want some material the Doc just has laying around.
“He has the music. It’s right there in the computer,” Fif divulged. “I stop by [his studio] every time and get something that adds something significant to my project each time [I'm about to put a record out]. And I spend three or four days there. To me, he’s the best producer in the game.
“When I walk in the studio, I record the first [beat] that comes on regardless if I think it’s a hit record or not,” he added. “We get in work mode, get comfortable and go through the material that’s in the computer. Dre always has hit records. Sometimes, artists that need producers, they need someone to create a direction for them musically. I need the jewels he’s just got laying around. He don’t gotta tell me what to do with it. All he has to do is say, ‘Track six.’ Or, ‘Go to track eight.’ He’ll have hits playing there. You just have to get in and get them.”
The G-Unit‘s team captain doesn’t know when the album is coming out, but he’s anticipating it just as much as everybody else.
“Hopefully he’ll get it done and put it out,” 50 said. “I’m waiting for the Detox. All I can say is, Dr. Dre is the best producer in my eyes. Just the consistency over the years. … He knows what he wants. He’s such a perfectionist that it becomes difficult for him to put it out.” …
“I loved the Bo Jacksons/ The orange and blue.” N.O.R.E.‘s “I Love My Life” is 10 years old, but it can still give you the chills as it glides out of your speakers. Smooth-thug reflections! While Noreaga’s solo debut is heralded as a classic, back then he didn’t really catch on to the accolades. Recently in Miami, he told us how it was difficult for him to put out his brand of hardened, street-basher music during a time when Puff Daddy and the family dominated with sleek party joints — especially in New York.
“When we came out, I can say it now, I actually hated Puff Daddy,” Nore said in his studio, sitting next to Capone. The duo were in the lab recording their next LP, Channel 10. “I can say that now, ’cause Puff is my man. I was disgusted at what they was doing with the shiny suits and the blow-up dolls and looking like Missy. I didn’t agree with that. I felt the shiny-suit movement was destroying the grimy movement. As I got older, I learned to respect people for doing different things. At that time, ‘Pone was actually locked up. I was on the streets, and I would turn on BET and MTV, it would be the shiny-suit dudes. It was a messed-up time.
“Mase was killing them,” he added. “Y’all can say what y’all wanna say about Mase, but he was killin’ them. You almost wanted to throw on something shiny. They caught Jay-Z. Remember Jay with the ‘Sunshine’ ? He had the Ferris Wheel, the Cyclone, whatever. It was real hard.”
Capone and Nore were just off a night from recording two songs for their LP. One is an untitled record featuring Mobb Deep.
“First time it’s just Mobb Deep and CNN [Capone-N-Noreaga],” Nore said. “We got Prodigy. We got him in jail on the phone call. We got him before jail, after jail. That’s it. We don’t know the name of it.”
They didn’t know the name of the other track either. “The record is about surviving,” Nore said of the second track,” Nore said.
“We letting them know we relevant, we survived the storm,” ‘Pone jumped in. “Nothing’s changed. We always gonna be relevant as long as good music is relevant.”
CNN also have the mixtape Back on That Q.U. Sh– out in the street. Their original DJ, Whoo Kid, helped them put it together.
” ‘Hollywood’ signifies a lot,” Capone said of the record we should check for. “People think Capone and Nore, we haven’t lived in the ‘hood for the past 12 years. So they think we may be in Hollywood or La-La Land. The record is basically Nore telling me, ‘I never should have went there, but I had to do it.’ ‘Hollywood’ is not Hollywood as you know it, though.”
Channel 10 comes out in September. The title pays homage to where you can catch the television network CNN on the dial in their hometown of New York.

The above picture was taken in 2015 in Australia, Asian Cup.Women are forbidden to attend sports played by male-teams in Iran.
Wouldn’t be lovely to see our football fans in our country?
Tehran hosted the Syria -Iran Football match on September 5th, 2017. Once more the Iranian authorities together with all other Iranian male-chauvinists became the laughing stock of people: while the she-Syrian supporters were allowed to attend the match in the Tehran’s Azadi Stadium, Iranian women were barred from it. Result: Syria-Iran: 2-2.
We wrote the following piece in 2006 and have updated it with some links from the recent Syria-Iran match. The Islamic Republic of Iran cannot and will not change, since their staunch supporters are the he-Iranians. Tell us what has made a different under Hassan Rouhani’s presidency that we are not aware of?
Al-Monitor’s title on Sept 5th read: Losing faith in Rouhani, Iranian women ever defiant.
And this for the last forty years.
Iran-Tehran, April 2006
Iranians, men and women, are undoubtedly potty on football. The news is filled with details on local, regional, national and international leagues. The shoe size of a given footballer is known, his playing style is widely commented upon. It is difficult to beat an Iranian fan on the subject of the transfers of international players, their clubs and the number of goals or corners in a match.
The Islamic Republic has, for more than thirty years, carefully tried to separate men and women in public, not always successfully but more often than not at the expense of becoming the laughing stock of people. On the presence of women in stadiums, the Islamic Republic stubbornly holds his ground. No is no! No women, virgin or married, in the stadiums. According to the ayatollahs the question is of paramount importance for the survival of the country. The foundations of an Islamic society will certainly be shattered if a woman whistles, cheers and shouts Olé! in a stadium.
What? I must endure this trickster’s glower,
Usurping and abusing his tyrannical power?
And our time with pleasure we cannot spend,
If this beautiful sire does not deign to consent? (Molière: Le Tartuffe)
By contrast, the ayatollahs are not worried about the kids who rummage through the rubbish of exclusive neighbourhoods to feed themselves. For them, these kids are just cockroaches, Sousks, unworthy of applying the Sharia. We do not know when the number of these miserable wretches hit millions or how many died from cold last winter … in a country swimming in oil. To sum up the country is in ruin but it is a matter of great urgency to keep away women from stadiums.
The obsession of the ayatollahs on women’s issues is totally surrealist in the triangle of Sex – Football – Tartuffes. For them, wenches have to stay home, wipe baby’s bottom, cook for oblations (نذر) and hose down. Outside the house, women are the cause of lewdness in men. The shamelessness of the public statements of ayatollahs result in more than spicy jests among drunkards.
My aunt, Amah Aziz, would go to the stadium if she was not eighty two and full of arthritis. She has a frank but polished manner of speaking save when the ayatollahs fray her temper, which happens quite often:“May their graves be covered with spit, tof be gour-e âkhondhâ! May the Devil take them all! May god ruin their homes, khodâ khodesh khânashân râ kharâb konad!” For her women should be able to go to the stadium, as a matter of principle. Her son, trying to calm her down, is tactless enough to say: “With all those hooligans a football stadium is not really a place for ladies.” Amah Aziz chastised her brat of sixty years old by calling him son of âkhonds, batchah âkhond. In our days, this is far from a compliment.
Two or three days ago, Ahmadinejâd, the president, set the cat among the pigeons. He wanted women to be able to attend football matches and cheer their favourite teams.
Iran laughed out. My mobile phone rattled with SMS of jokes on women and football. Rarely of good taste, often salacious, they were aimed at the ayatollahs and their creature, Ahmadinejâd.
In a very short time, a well orchestrated polemic sparked off in the press, controlled by various factions of the Islamic Republic and by far the most pitiful papers. Many ayatollahs were against the presence of women. Others weighed up the pros and cons, but leaned towards the cons. The silent and disillusioned mass, the one that just dreams of getting rid of the ayatollahs and having fun in a good match, waited patiently for the end of the polemic not making much of Ahmadinejâd’s statements. “He is going to step back. All this is a show, it’s déjà-vu.”
Some ayatollahs, learned doctors of the Sharia, commented: “Even if women have no sexual pleasure in seeing the hairy bare legs of men, still, it cannot be endorsed by the Islamic morality.” A few exquisite pictures of league champions, stripped to the waist, wearing tights and beautifully suntanned were forwarded by MMS over the mobile phones with captions that left the most debauched speechless.
Other ayatollahs went on one better: “The gathering of men and women in stadiums is haram since it leads to debauchery.” X-rated SMSs and emails on Sex – Football – Tartuffes flew from all sides.
Cover your bosom. The flesh is weak.
Souls are forever hurt by such sights,
When sinful thoughts begin their evil flights.
It seems temptation makes a meal of you,
To turn you on, a glimpse of flesh will do.
Inside your heart, a furnace must be housed.
For me, I’m not easily aroused.
I could see you naked, head to toe
Never be tempted once, and this I know. (Molière, Le Tartuffe)
In the meanwhile, awaiting the ayatollahs’ last verdict, the managers of the stadiums remained very tactful using their common sense and experience, playing for time: “Right now, the stadiums have no facilities to welcome ladies, banouvan. The terraces have to be fitted out to preserve their dignity. We have to reconsider the booking system of seats; ladies should have their own reserved seating arrangement as it is in the mosques. Moreover, new latrines for ladies should be built. All this needs time and money.” Once again, the SMSs and emails on Sex-Football-Tartuffes-Toilettes flew in from all over.
The Iranian media kicked up a fuss with pretentious, knowledgeable and highly theological pieces on football and women. Reading the papers and watching the bigots in black hijab who added their own balderdash on the TV, I could figure the Good God laughing at the foolishness of mankind – and womankind.
After a twenty four hour lag, the international media were taking over the issue. It was as if the planet earth was idle, bikar, and had nothing better to do than trying to know if Iranian women were to have the permission of the ayatollahs to see live muscular and hairy legs going unrelentingly at a ball.
Jafar Panahi’s Offside
Curiously, perhaps by a well planned coincidence, the film of the Iranian director, Jafar Panahi, Offside, was released in Europe, but not in Iran where it was forbidden. The story was that of an Iranian girl disguised as a boy who went to see a match and was arrested by the guardians of the Islamic morality. I got emails from my friend in Europe: “Panahi defies the ayatollahs censorship! Hooray!”
My Iranian friends had a good laugh at the naivety of those in the West: “Honestly! Eybaba! They really think that Panahi directed, shot and smuggled out the movie just in time for the Berlin film festival, without anyone knowing at the ministry of the Islamic morality? He serves as a circuit-breaker to the Islamic Republic. The scenario is Islamically correct and in line with the Revolution. The film is forbidden in Iran just to serve as a foil to western intellectuals.
The Iranian papers merely made a brief mention of Panahi receiving, ex-æquo, the silver Bear. Shargh, a paper trying to get away from the dirty propaganda of the ayatollahs with pompous sentences and obscure hints, produced two laborious and unexciting paragraphs. It quoted Panahi’s speech in Berlin on receiving his prize: “An early precedent in banishing women from the stadium is found in antique Greece. Women were not allowed to attend sporting events, until 404 AD when a mother dressed as a man went to the stadium to see her son, a champion, performing.”
According to Panahi, due to this courageous feat stadiums were thereafter opened to women. Anyway, referring to antique Greece stories padded à l’iranienne to explain anything and everything with a touch of truth out of context, is very fashionable in Teheran. The movie Offside was not acclaimed by a frenzied audience in Iran, it was even not in the charts of DVDs sold clandestinely. DVD’s of very good quality were supplied from the Chinese market. Number one on the charts was Brokeback Mountain, a story of homosexuality in the United States.
The son of a cousin who refused to buy the DVD of Offside, was leaving for Europe. I asked him to go and see the movie and if it was not to his taste I promised to reimburse his ticket and refreshment. He was, for me, the typical profile of trendy urban youth: stylish, easygoing, with no store of cultural knowledge, crafty but intellectually lazy, full of life and kindness. Later, he said in an email that the mission had been carried out; the movie … Bah! I owed him fifteen euros. Sorry for all the waste because Panahi has talent.
Manipulating the Public
Blasé friends in Tehran commented on the triangle of Sex-Football-Tartuffes: Manipulation of public opinions by the Islamic Republic. The ayatollahs want to divert attention from something. From what? We don’t know. Perhaps to amuse us while they are getting on with rationing oil/gas, or, together with Hezbollahi, preparing a trick or two in Lebanon. What will be will be. Will be, perhaps, came along but nothing happened. The story deflated. Women, in company of their men and a large bowl of nuts and pistachios, stayed in front of the TV to watch the games live as it pleases dictatorship, with thirty to forty seconds pre-recorded to allow the possible intervention of censorship.
Ahmadinejâd continued to go about his business, namely, making populist speeches, long and monotonous, roosted behind a stand too high for his one point six metres. The sublime chic is to see his mug sticking out of large bouquets of gladioli and carnations.
The western media who did see in the episode of Sex-Football-Tartuffes a face to face between hard-liners and reformists, between a president elected democratically with universal suffrage (!) and radical elements, dropped the story. Would they, hopefully one day, absorb into their stubborn but simplistic conscience that an ayatollah is an ayatollah and stays ayatollah? They are all birds of a feather. Would media, for once, read the Iranian constitution to have a better view on the mechanisms of the Islamic Republic, that is to say that the President has less power than a foreman?
Mohammad Khâtami, the previous Iranian president, reformist for the westerner, champion of cosmetic alterations for the Iranian, could tell them volumes on the lack of power of the President. He might say that the President is an alibi, even a necessary evil for the State’s parades. Bu he will do nothing. He is an Shiite clergyman to the core, similar in the making to any ayatollah, even if he is good looking, well spoken and popular with the media. What counts in the politics of the Islamic Republic, is the principle of Velayat-e faqih. The Velayat-e faqih is a tyranny of divine right, a deviant copy of absolute monarchy. The twelve succeeding Imams of Shiites were fathers and sons.
The future will tell us when the office of the Supreme Guide will be transmitted from father to son and when the Velayat-e faqih will forsake the post of president alibi altogether.
According to people around me, to preserve the Islamic morality and to admit women in the stadiums, there is a very simple solution. Why let the players show off their muscular calves in light shorts, western style? They may wear baggy pants, extra-large long-sleeved shirts and a turban. Just imagine the turban coming off as the striker is in a goal scoring position, resulting in him getting a red card. For the necessary extra time to readjust the turban, FIFA could decree rules. My emails and SMS, full of jokes, asserted that money buys everything.
There is another solution, ever more straightforward, that does not imply a negotiation among bigots, Tartuffes, and FIFA: forbid football games, as the Very Christian, Theodosius the Great, forbade the Olympic games in 394AD. Some fifteen centuries had to go by before the games could be taken up again.
So the ayatollahs may declare football Haram once and for all. There must be some antiquated sentences in pidgin Arab to justify this ruling in accordance with the Sharia. Waiting the necessary fifteen centuries for the ban to be lifted, Iranians will get to grips with their frustration out of wont, and will adapt themselves to play football in their living room. To see the games on foreign TV channels, they will set up satellite receivers more powerful than today’s, thanks to commercial middlemen, mates to the ayatollahs. | <urn:uuid:1c915602-f1bd-4d7d-bae6-05f3e9e832b0> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.pedziran.com/phallocracy-en/sex-football-tartuffes/ | 2022-10-03T09:01:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337404.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003070342-20221003100342-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.963982 | 3,117 |

Our Lymphoedema Service offers treatment for patients who have developed Lymphoedema as a side effect of their cancer treatment.
Lymphoedema is a swelling that can affect any part of the body, but mainly the arms or legs. It is a common side effect of cancer and its treatment, and until now Lymphoedema treatment has not been easily accessible In Northern Warwickshire. This dedicated service at the Mary Ann Evans Hospice aims to provide both physical treatment & psychological support to help patients to maintain their quality of life.
Kay Hill, Lymphoedema Nurse Specialist explains, “Although Lymphoedema cannot be cured, it can be controlled using a combination of treatments”.

Recycling Is Not Rocket Science
The other day, I was asked to give a presentation about proper recycling in a co-working office space. My audience consisted of small business entrepreneurs and professional freelancers. Everyone had a college undergraduate degree, and it’s likely many of them also had a master’s degree. The reason I was asked to give a presentation is not because I work in the environmental industry, but because I’m passionate about recycling and being resourceful.
Recently, I heard someone use the word “eco-nerd” to refer to himself. He got excited that the Asian restaurant we ate at had real, non-disposable chopsticks. And on top of bringing re-usable bags to the grocery store, he kept track of the bulk item identification numbers on his iPhone to save paper and ink, by avoiding having to print out the adhesive labels.
My particular eco-nerdiness comes from my dedication to minimizing plastic in my life (see article about Trash Free Eating). I will wash and re-use the few plastic bags that make it through the front door of our house. I’m on about my 12th use of a microwave and dishwasher- safe to-go container that I keep taking back to a restaurant I frequent often for lunch, since it’s down the street from my office. Fortunately, they allow me to keep bringing it back, and they even offer me a 50-cent discount for my environmental consciousness.
When you’re as excited about something, as I am about reducing the amount of waste I produce as a human, it’s easy to forget that not everyone else feels the same way. Doesn’t everyone get giddy about recycling, reusing, and maybe not even using it in the first place? I discovered that the answer was no. I had also assumed that fellow college-educated, intelligent, liberal-minded, business-savvy people would be as ecologically enthusiastic as I was. But my assumption was wrong. At least in the office place.
My passion for recycling became apparent at work because I was constantly commenting on how the recycling wasn’t properly being done – sometimes, it wasn’t even done at all. The recycling bins are about ten steps from the kitchen and down a half flight of stairs. It’s easier just to throw the can or container into the trashcan next to the kitchen sink. But it’s also not that difficult to take the extra 30-45 seconds to make the short trip to the bins. (Plus, it’s a good stretching exercise for most of us who sit in a chair 6-8 hours a day.)
The presentation I gave was quite simple. I showed how only the following items are acceptable for the blue “clean paper” bin: office paper, envelopes, cardboard, cardstock, catalogs, magazines, newspaper and junk mail. The following items are acceptable for the plastic, glass, and aluminum “commingled” bin: cleaned and/or rinsed glass bottles and jars, plastics (#1 though #7), and aluminum and steel cans. This is pretty much the standard for recycling most everywhere in Austin.
I got all kinds of interesting questions during the presentation. How do you know if it’s recyclable? (Look for the little number inside a triangle, usually at the bottom of the container.) Why do I have to remove the lids and caps? (Because they are made of different material that doesn’t recycle well, or at all in some cases, plus it jams the recycling machines.) Why can’t I just put the empty beer bottles in the cardboard holder and put them in the recycler that way? (Because the recycling people ask us to separate paper and glass.) Why can’t the recycling people sort it out for me? (They ask us to do things a certain way for a reason, the same way we ask our clients to present information to us in a particular way. It makes the whole process more efficient.) The recycling bins are too out of the way. (Do I really have to answer to that?)
I removed styrofoam, plastic bags, dirty pizza boxes, and glass bottles from the paper bin. I removed paper, soiled plastic containers, bottles still filled with (now rancid) liquid beverage, and outright garbage from the commingled bin. After the presentation, I showed a funny home video I made about the things I do at home to be more resourceful – in hopes of adding a bit of humor to my schoolmarm lesson about saving the earth. In the end, I don’t know if I was able to change anyone’s mind, or even slightly inspire someone to think about how much unnecessary waste we produce in society. Maybe everyone just went back to their desks and promptly forgot everything I said. But I did walk away with one thought – I will continue being an “eco-nerd” for the rest of my life. I figure, if I keep at it, maybe it will catch on. After all, trendsetters don’t wait for everyone else to do the same.
Not sure where to begin? Take it one step at a time. The gateway drug to living an eco-friendly, sustainable life is recycling. But recycling rules vary, depending on where you live, and even depending on the service provider. Look up the recycling guidelines for your city's waste program, or for the service your company uses. If you're at a restaurant and you don't understand what goes in the recycle bin, or what goes in the compost bin, just ask! Most likely, someone there will also be an eco-nerd, eager to answer your question. | <urn:uuid:980e85da-0ff9-4b16-a5ff-ebe7f0e2883f> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.ecoloxica.com/2011/12/recycling-is-not-rocket-science.html | 2016-02-11T21:03:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701162808.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193922-00231-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962812 | 1,204 |

An ode to nature
Pelion is ready to unveil its eastern side to you, full of exotic promise, mesmerizingly deep blue waters and cooling villages decorated with plane trees; a canvas of blue and green with all the freshness of the mountain and the saltiness of the Aegean Sea. And it’s there just for you!
My love is like a red, red… apple
On a verdant slope lies Zagora, the historic village with its stately homes and panoramic view of the Aegean. You will chill out in its breezy squares and in its taverns enjoy traditional Mt Pelion cuisine and sweets made from the PDO apples of the area. The golden beach of Horefto is heaven-sent for whiling away summer days, open sea lapping at your toes; sand cascading through your fingertips.
Turn your gaze towards the forest that embraces Tsagarada or the coves and beaches illuminated by the dazzling light of the Aegean? Rest under a one-thousand-year-old plane tree, cool down in the waters of an ancient spring or stray off the well-trodden track into a tapestry of beech and fir forests.
The undoubted seashore celeb of Pelion is the photogenic Mylopotampos, with a natural rock arch hewn by timeless waves, providing a shady retreat as well as an excuse to play hide-and-seek between the two beaches it creates. Shimmering waters and untainted natural beauty complete the picture, along with nearby Fakistra beach, quieter, perhaps, but equally as enchanting.
Having your fill of nature
Mouresi can be likened to a sparkling emerald set in sea blue. A traditional hamlet, keeping a tireless vigil over the Aegean and scenting the air around you with the fragrance of gardenias, it also makes the ideal base for hiking expeditions. Following one gorgeous footpath you will reach Damouhari, the picturesque harbor with the fine-pebble beach and inviting, azure waters.
The lovely village of Kissos
Kissos is a hospitable little village tucked away amongst linden, walnut and cherry trees. A picturesque small square, a historic church and sweeping views of the Aegean mean many happy hours devoted to contemplation and revitalization. When you crave the island atmosphere, go down to Agios Giannis, the cosmopolitan resort. Crystalline waters, beach bars and a multitude of water sport options keep the excitement simmering, as do similar set-ups on the nearby sandy beaches of Plaka and Papa-Nero.
Heavenly summer equity!

The braid trend continues for wedding hair in 2013 and 2014. Braids aren’t just for Boho brides anymore. Braids can be styled to look elegant or relaxed and still look fabulous. There are so many ways to wear braids in your hair on your big day. Here are some of our favorite ways.
The fishtail braid is still on trend and paired with a stunning headband it creates a beautiful style.
The traditional french braid is back but with a messy twist!
This french style crown braid is the newest way to wear a braid!
This upside down french braid with bun is another new style perfect for wedding day!
We all know that short-haired girls get married too 😉 but there are very few pictures of brides in magazines with short hair. Many brides think they have to grow their hair out for the big day or they won’t look like a “bride”. It may be true that there are not as many styles as long hair but there are plenty of options to fit every bride and her style. I have chosen a few of my favorite hairstyles and ideas for all my short haired brides. Depending on the texture and length of your hair will determine which of these styles will fit you best.
I have to say my all time favorite style for short hair has to be the “Old Hollywood Glam” hairstyles. I think these styles are timeless, beautiful and great for most lengths of short hair.
If you want a more natural look, you can wear your hair tousled with a few curls and a hair accessory like a flower or veil.
For an evening wedding you can always wear your hair slicked back or curled under with a glossy finish.
If you have more of a pixie cut, wear it pushed forward.
Another style that works well is to wear hair pulled back with volume. Just let the strands fall for a softer look.
Don’t be afraid of hair accessories with short hair. I love headbands, flowers, small clips and short veils to show off your short hair!
I hope these hairstyles have helped you decide on your wedding hair!
We all know that brides are most concerned with how they are going to look on their wedding day. You want to feel the most beautiful on your wedding day since all eyes will be on you. One of the most important things (besides the wedding gown) is how to fix your hair! The hair completes the look and as a bride you want it to look fabulous. A trend for 2012 bridal hair is a sleek and stylish up-do. Brides have had sleek up do’s for years but for 2012 an up do has taken on a new twist!
Here are some of my favorite sleek up-dos!
The low bun has always been a hit with brides. This year is no exception but for 2012 these buns create a little more interest with volume, large curls and hair accessories.
I love the 1940’s vintage style and this up-do is a new take on an old classic hairstyle!
This up-do has a 1940’s feel however it uses a very loose braid to create this up-do. Beautiful!
Tyra’s style has a peek-a-boo bang with a low bun. So elegant!
This up do has a more traditional front but the back view has a different take on a french twist!
If you want a more traditional look, the hair below might be perfect for you! These styles blend traditional with a modern edge.
If you were looking for a sleek and stunning updo I hope this helped in your search! | <urn:uuid:e0236fe3-025a-4b72-9195-3026bfe0d880> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://blog.glendaloughmanor.com/tag/bridal-hair/ | 2017-09-23T00:00:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818689411.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20170922235700-20170923015700-00535.warc.gz | en | 0.956526 | 772 |

CBS This Morning co-hosts often promote the newest programs on Showtime, a division of CBS. Yet, the journalists on Wednesday ignored a disgusting new Showtime series featuring a comedian who dressed up as a disabled veteran in order to dupe Sarah Palin into an interview.
Actor Sacha Baron Cohen has a long history of performing prank interviews heavily under makeup to mock conservatives and libertarians. (He did this to Newt Gingrich, Pat Buchanan, Bob Barr and Ron Paul, among others.) Of the three networks, only NBC’s Today covered the story.
Today co-host Hoda Kotb explained: “Sarah Palin calls Sasha Baron Cohen evil and sick after being duped into an interview for his new undercover comedy show, saying the comedian posed as a disabled veteran while talking to the former vice presidential candidate.”
Fox News recounted Palin’s response on her Facebook page: “I join a long list of American public personalities who have fallen victim to the evil, exploitive, sick ‘humor’ of the British ‘comedian’ Sacha Baron Cohen, enabled and sponsored by CBS/Showtime.”
It’s quite the contrast that CBS is silent on this Showtime show considering that the network regularly promotes Showtime programs. (Showtime has been a division of CBS since 2005.) In March of this year, This Morning touted a news Showtime series on the New York Times. CBS also promoted a Showtime series on climate change.
Yet, somehow, CBS hasn’t talked about the new Cohen series. Perhaps even CBS is embarrassed of impersonating a veteran in order to mock a conservative? | <urn:uuid:a7c3066d-75be-4e59-bb3f-f110d33d7a49> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/scott-whitlock/2018/07/11/cbs-skips-story-actor-its-cable-subdivision-dressed-vet-mock | 2019-01-16T22:32:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583657907.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20190116215800-20190117001800-00243.warc.gz | en | 0.937924 | 334 |
Rather than proceeding directly into Ephesians 4, as I originally had planned to do. I believe that a brief interlude would be helpful for us before launching into the second half of the book. As I have noted before, the plan is to study Ephesians in three sections: chapters 1-3 were called Kingdom Come since they describe how the kingdom has come to us, 4:1-6:9 will be called Kingdom Life since they reveal how we are to live as citizens of God’s kingdom, and 6:10-24 will be called Kingdom War since Paul explains how we are to fight against the domain of darkness.
But even though I see these as being three distinct sections of the letter, we must constantly remember that Paul’s epistle is marvelously unified. Next week, we will discuss a bit more on how the two halves of Ephesians are connected, so today I would like to chart the course for how the two remaining sections of our study fit together. How do Kingdom Life and Kingdom War go together?
Ephesians 4-5 is punctuated five times by the word walk. “I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called” (Ephesians 4:1). “Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds” (Ephesians 4:17). “And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God” (Ephesians 5:2). “Walk as children of light” (Ephesians 5:8). “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise” (Ephesians 5:15).
In each of these cases, walk is used a metaphor for life. To walk in a manner worthy of our calling does not mean placing one foot in front of the other in a particular way; instead, it means to live a life worthy of the calling that we have received. The same is true with no longer walking as the Gentiles do, with walking in love, and with walking wisely and carefully. And the content of this section of Ephesians reflects this notion, since within it Paul discusses church unity, growing into maturity, killing our deceitful desires, speaking truth, fencing our anger, doing honest labor, destroying covetousness, singing and giving thanks, honoring and loving our spouse, obeying parents, disciplining children, and working for the Lord rather than for men.
In other words, Kingdom Life may be summarized into two verses from other writings of Paul:
1 Corinthians 10:31 | So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Colossians 3:17 | And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Kingdom War, on the other hand, can be pretty explicitly summarized by three verses:
Ephesians 6:10–12 |Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Two large ideas are, therefore, present: 1) that we are to do everything, no matter how insignificant, to the glory of God and 2) that we are present and active participants in an ongoing spiritual and cosmic war. One is grand and epic in its scope, while the other addresses tasks as ordinary as our daily acts of eating, drinking, speaking, and working. How then do these two ideas meet one another?
Both have worship as their central element. This is why Ephesians 1-3, which began with worship, ended with worship, and in between gave us reasons for worship, cannot be left behind as we continue onward. The centrality of worship in doing all things for the glory of God and in the name of Jesus is hopefully quite obvious. To give God glory is to worship Him, to acknowledge Him as the Glorious One. Therefore, even our eating and drinking must be done in worship of the almighty Creator who gives us our daily bread.
The centrality of worship in spiritual warfare, however, might not be as immediately evident. Yet the first overt spiritual battle involving humanity was undeniably about worship. In Genesis 3, Satan as a serpent deceived Eve into doubting the goodness of God’s commands and even into attempting to usurp God’s throne. Although created a little lower in glory than the angels, God bestowed upon humanity the distinct privilege of being like Him, of bearing His image. And even with the supreme generosity of God being clearly seen through His delegating dominion over the earth to mankind, Satan still convinced Eve that God was selfishly hoarding power and authority for Himself. The Tower of Babel, likewise, provides graphic imagery and a replay of the original Fall. We tried to ascend to the heavens only to be brought lower, as a result, than we previously were. Adam and Eve, thinking themselves to be wise, became fools.
And the pattern continues still. Like our ancestors Adam and Eve, we continuously reject our privileged position as worshipful servants of God in order to attempt becoming gods ourselves. Indeed, modern Satanism understands the primary tactic of our enemy all too well. Although delighted to be worshiped himself, Satan is more than content with God not being worshiped. His goal in Eden was to dethrone God, not to explicitly (that’s a key word) exalt himself. He portrays himself as the liberator of humanity from God’s tyrannical rule. While God commands us to love Him with all our heart, soul, and might, Satan commands “do what thou wilt.” Whose command, therefore, is burdensome?
If you haven’t noticed, the slogans of our present day are essentially the same: you do you, just be you, live your true self, etc. We could call this, as Owen Strachan does, the resurgence of paganism, a kind of neopaganism, but essentially the idolatry of the past ages has taken off its poorly constructed mask to reveal what it was all along: a worship of self.
From this platform, it is not surprising that we are also witnessing the rise of Materialist Magicians. While rereading The Screwtape Letters, I was struck by Lewis’ prediction of “Materialist Magicians” through the sly and deceitful mouth of the demon Screwtape. A magician, as Lewis defined in the preface, belongs to the old guard of paganism, one with an unhealthy, perhaps even worshipful, interest in spirits or, as is more scientifically credible today, interdimensional beings. The materialist, however, rejects the spiritual realm altogether in favor of empirical data. Screwtape views both the materialist and magician as being in his favor, yet he longs for the day when Materialist Magicians can be created, that is, someone rejects the existence of spiritual realities while at the same time worshiping “what he vaguely calls ‘Forces’” (31-32).
As self-actualization becomes the ultimate goal, the heavenly ideal (or perhaps better described, the nirvanic state), the “worship” of those vague Forces is increasingly common. For instance, thanksgiving is not viewed within the context of the sovereign Creator who chosen to bless His creatures as Ephesians 5:20 shows us; rather, gratitude is a mystical force to tap into each day for a happier and better life. More and more are glad to describe themselves as being spiritual but not religious because being religious implies that one must submit to a system of belief instead constructing one’s own belief system.
It is impossible not to worship, even when the object of worship is self. And this daily worship is the battleground of spiritual warfare, the field on which we champion either the kingdom of God or the domain of darkness. Although we may understand that spiritual warfare today is not filled with exorcisms and rebuking strongholds, we nonetheless often limit this warfare to what we deem to be overtly spiritual activities. We fight the “spiritual forces of evil in heavenly places” each Sunday morning as we gather together to sing against the darkness and submit ourselves to the Word of the true and living God. Amen! We fight “against the schemes of the devil” by daily going before our Father in prayer and studying His Word, the sword of the Spirit. Amen! We push back “this present darkness” by declaring the good news so that more and more are called “out of darkness into his marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9). Amen and Amen!
We should, however, not deceive ourselves in believing that the battle is limited to such things, as essential as they may be; instead, we must understand that everything, even eating, drinking, marriage, and parenting, is an act of war. Every word spoken and deed accomplished is either for the glory of God or not. We either give the King of Glory the honor due His name, or we deny the splendor of His majesty. How so?
Take turning on a lightbulb as an example. In many ways, technology has usurped the role of magic in paganism since both are an attempt to bend the world to our will. Technology, however, is not inherently sinful, but it can easily be used for sinful means. Building a tower is not a sin, but the building of the Tower of Babel certainly was. In the same way, electricity has enabled marvelous advances in civilization, yet it can also be used for sin. Each time we flip a light switch, we are either obeying God or rebelling against Him. For instance, electric lighting is used in a myriad of ways as an exercise of human dominion over a sin-scarred world (the ability to light up emergency rooms being a particularly beneficial one). But just as easily we can buy into the subtle deception that because we can flip on a light, we can also make our own schedules and that we can bypass the creaturely limitations of sleep. In other words, turning on a light can either reflect that we are God’s stewards over the earth or the belief that we do not need Him.
We could, however, use literally any other of our actions or realms of life as an example. Of course, the media that we willingly choose to ingest is ripe for pondering. Thinly veiled beneath catchy pop tunes often lies the presently foundational ideologies of our society. Or for all the (rightful) denouncing of pornography, many Christians find no qualms with a bit of nudity in their entertainment, even though that is the unclothing of a real woman (or man) before the indirect eyes of millions of people. Without thinking (which is part of the overall problem), we can easily find ourselves walking “in the counsel of the wicked”, standing “in the way of sinners”, and sitting “in the seat of scoffers” through the entertainment that we consume.
The primary point is that this grand cosmic war is being fought on shockingly ordinary fronts. We should, therefore, “look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:15-16). Every word and deed (or turning on of a light or song listened to or movie watched), no matter how ordinary matters eternally.
Of course, I do not by any of this mean that our salvation depends upon doing everything to the glory of God; rather, we are saved by Jesus’ perfect obedience to the Father and His undeserved death in our place. Our righteousness, therefore, is not grounded in our own merit but upon the merit of Jesus our Lord. Indeed, none of this makes sense without the wonders of salvation displayed in Ephesians 1-3. Yet Jesus’ obedience in place of our disobedience does not license us to continue in our rejection of God and His commands. Rather, having now been justified entirely by faith alone, we are liberated to walk freely in obedience to God and to repent and find forgiveness when we fail, even when we do so time and time again. The gospel does not invalidate our doing all things to the glory of God; it is, instead, the foundation for doing so.
We ought to do all things in the confidence that the same God who has (note the past tense) redeemed us will also “unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth” (Ephesians 1:10), including us in our resurrected and glorified bodies. We stand confident that on the cross the decisive battle of the war has been won and that total victory is both imminent and inevitable. So each day, each hour, each moment, we submit ourselves to God “as a living sacrifice” (Romans 12:1), walking “in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called” (Ephesians 4:1). We must, therefore, grasp the realities of Psalm 1: that life is a choice between submissive meditation and delight in God’s Word or the fleeting vanities found in the company of the wicked. We must understand that “be careful little eyes what you see” is actually a battle cry.
This is how we wage warfare against the enemy, by speaking the truth in love, bearing with one another in love, refusing to let our anger lead to sin, replacing crude joking and foolish talk with thanksgiving, singing and making melody to the Lord with our hearts, loving our spouse and children, and working as though Jesus Himself is our employer. God’s kingdom is growing like a mustard seed and spreading like leaven throughout even the smallest moments of our days. Ephesians, therefore, teaches us how we must understand our place within this ordinary, cosmic war.
I would argue that the recent rise of flat-earth theorists and the like are simply the materialist mindset taken to the Nth degree. Many flat-earthers, after all, essentially hold their ground on the notion that unless they could see the earth as round with their own eyes, they refuse to believe it. Thus, they have limited the reliability of empirical data to only what is immediately perceptible by their own senses.
I say presently because the very nature of these ideologies is that shift here and there, to and fro.

This blog is more of a “tech blog” than an “opinion blog”. It is also focused mostly on techy stuff although any one who knows me can tell you that I love to talk about the wider aspects of Collaboration and how it can be used in business and industry.
I started it because the Notes / Domino / XPage / ICS community is fantastic at sharing best practice and ideas and I felt that I should do my bit too.
I am a huge fan of the IBM ICS stack – to the extent that I left a good career as an Engineer and started a software development house. Even though I think it is a fantastic platform for delivery real world solutions it does have its limitations, quirks and bugs. I am very conscious that in my enthusiasm for ICS to be the best that it can I can sometimes come across as negative and I see this blog as a way of taking time to talk about the positive aspects of this great platform.

A flea market or a yard sale is a smart way to clear out all possessions and make a little money on the side. Earning a large amount of money from a yard sale could generate some tax liability depending on the type of possessions you sell and the original purchase prices for items sold.
Taxable Income Rules
The IRS may consider income from a garage sale as taxable income depending on the sale price of your goods. According to the IRS, if you sell your personal possessions at a yard sale or flea market for less than the original purchase price, the the federal government requires no tax payment. Your participation in a yard sale or flea market should be sparse and not a regular component of your income earning over the year. Regular participation in a flea market may require you to claim profits as business income on your federal taxes.
Selling at a Profit
Selling your possessions at a flea market or yard sale for more than you paid for them usually requires you to claim the profits as business income. This usually occurs with possessions known to appreciate in value, including collectibles, sports memorabilia or artwork. According to the IRS, you must claim profits of $400 or more from the sale of appreciated assets as taxable income on your federal return using IRS Form 1040 Schedule C. Failure to disclose this income could cost you additional tax penalties in addition to an IRS audit.
Capital Gains Taxes
Selling a capital asset, including home furnishings and real property, usually requires you to file capital gains or capital losses with the IRS. A capital gain is the difference in the original purchase price of a capital asset compared to the price at which you sell the capital asset. You must report all capital gains to the IRS regardless of the amount. For example, if you sell an antique chair at a flea market for $500 and you only paid $100, you must report the $400 difference as a capital gain. You may only report capital losses for the sale of investment properties.
Online Flea Markets
The same tax rules for real world flea markets and yard sales apply to online auctions and garage sales. Occasional use of online yard sales or flea markets doesn't usually require you to report income from these sites as taxes on your federal return. Establishing an online trade business or used goods store requires you to pay taxes as a business owner. You can make estimated quarterly tax payments to the IRS as a means of reducing your tax liability. Failing to make estimated payments could result in a financial penalty if you end up owing money at the end of the year. | <urn:uuid:cabbe325-29e7-46e2-8e1e-af024d9dc627> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | https://www.sapling.com/8773303/selling-flea-markets-taxable-income | 2017-09-26T14:33:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818696182.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20170926141625-20170926161625-00710.warc.gz | en | 0.947537 | 526 |

Today I am sharing another look in collaboration with Lagos. This time it’s all about the rings and lots of them. If I am not wearing bracelets or necklaces, I also end up stacking delicate rings on my fingers. The more the better! I love how they can make a big statement when stacked or become subtle when worn alone. This particular day was all about an easy dress and heels for date night. I am a sucker for patterned pieces and this dress was easy to mix with my dainty gold details. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Streuth. Hot on the heels of last week’s UnLtdWorld award, I was amazed to experience the web application that I created with Tom Leitch being awarded the top two prizes Yahoo’s OpenHackLondon. And this, after winning a prize with ‘HackHUD‘ at the previous Hack Day London, two years earlier (the famous one, when it rained inside Alexandra Palace).
OpenHackLondon is an opportunity for web developers and programmers to get together, to collaborate and experiment with new ideas in technology. The focus is a 24-hour (overnight) hacking challenge, with a two-minute demo by each team, and prizes in several categories.
Our entry was OpenFreecycle – an itch that I’d been wanting to scratch for a couple of years. This was an attempt to make community sharing of free, unwanted items much more easy and accessible. Sort of like eBay, but for free.
There are around 10,000 local “Freecycle” mailing lists (all of them are hosted on Yahoo Groups). They offer an extremely useful service: a way for people to offer or find unwanted items amongst their local community. Got a spare mattress? Put it on Freecycle. Need a chest of drawers? Find one on Freecycle.
The Problem: Closed
The system, however, is far from ideal. Each group is initially private and closed. You need to request membership and await approval for each group before you can see what’s available. Prospective browsing in neighbouring groups becomes a painful task.
And then there are the emails – hundreds in your inbox every day. And, because each group is just a plain and simple, private email list, there is no way to expose all that interesting content to other places on the web. That is, until now…
The Solution: Open
A simple, searchable, open system, with the option to subscribe to feeds for specific search terms in specific area (e.g. ‘baby’ in Leeds), the possibility to subscribe to alert notifications for specific items and the ability to integrate all this content around the web, for example with Greasemonkey in shopping sites, to inform you when an item is available for free in your local area:
What we built was a rough proof-of-concept. It only handles the Leeds group – and very simplistically, at that – but it gives an idea of what is possible when you start to open up data.
(Of course, there are merits in selected aspects of the system being closed, or guarded – e.g. in protecting user’s contact details, and the ability to identify potential exploiters, such as tradesmen scooping up everyone’s free offerings. These need to be preserved, for the health of the community.)
How we did it
Here are the slides from our demo:
We used the Yahoo Mail API (via PHP) to log into a subscribing mailbox, then converted the emails to Atom feeds (with Perl), imported these into Yahoo Pipes and performed geo-location, term-extraction and some other bits and bobs, drilled down into the resultant feeds with YQL and then presented the lot using the Google Static Maps API and a smattering of jQuery. Voilà!
We Won the Double!
OpenFreecycle won both the “Hackers’ Choice” prize, as voted by the 300 participants, as well as the “Best In Show” prize, unanimously awarded by the competition judges:
- David Filo, co-founder of Yahoo
- Tim O’Donoghue, vice-president of engineering at Yahoo
- Sophie Major, head of international at the Yahoo Developer Network
- Pascal Finette, Mozilla Europe
- Matt Biddulph, co-founder of Dopplr
- Daniel Ek, co-founder of Spotify
Take OpenFreecycle for a spin. Have you got any ideas?

Undocumented, Yet Unafraid: Fighting for Citizenship
By Gerson Liahut-Sanchez
Government Relations and Communications Fellow, Community College League of California
Thursday, October 22, 2020
It’s easy for undocumented people to feel less human when they don’t have a paper validating their right to live in a country that promised them freedom and security. But regardless of their immigration status, California Community Colleges are committed to serving all of its students. In an effort to share the experiences of undocumented individuals, I reached out to a few California Community College undocumented students and asked, “What is at stake and what would citizenship mean to you?” These are their stories:
Josue, Fresno City College
The first time I realized I was an undocumented immigrant was when my third grade summer school teacher pulled me aside to ask me, “When did you arrive to the U.S.?” Being a nervous child with broken English, I was unable to muster up a response and instead broke into tears. To this day, I still remember the conversation I had with my mother that night when I found out I was undocumented. At such a tender age, I was already exposed to the fear of deportation, crippling what little confidence I had. I was dragged into a cruel reality where only fear and loneliness existed, and from that moment on, I had vowed to never show my true colors again. I was constantly warned not to reveal my undocumented status, as there were people out there who only wanted to hurt me. From the ages of six to eighteen, it was as though I was erasing half of myself. Citizenship would mean that I would not have to live in fear of who I am or who I discuss my status with. It would also allow me to take care of my family with dignity in their old age.
Ji Lin, East Los Angeles College
The only memory I have of arriving in the United States is one where my mother is weaving through a sea of chaos with me clenching her jacket sleeve as if it were a life vest. At five years old, I was oblivious to the fact that my mother had relinquished control to these uncharted waters, uncertain of the direction she was heading. The odds were truly stacked against her – a single mother who spoke as much English as her five-year old child, a stranger who did not have acquaintances in this new world, and an undocumented woman when she made the difficult decision to over stay her tourist visa – and yet, my mother persisted and worked hard to create opportunities for me. Still, even as industrious as my mother was, her legal status was a vulnerability that subjected her to impotence and fear. These feelings epitomized when she finally accrued enough funds to seek consultation from an immigration lawyer in an attempt to depart from a life dictated by the fear of deportation, and his services turned out to be a scam as he fled with her money. Due to a lack of resources, she could not challenge this and she had to accept that inability was her reality. For a long time, powerlessness was an invasive theme in my life when I found out I was undocumented. The fear of deportation muzzled my voice and crippled my confidence. I felt that my voice did not matter. Citizenship would give my mother and I the voice that we need in this world to make a change to better our lives.
Alejandro, Shasta College
When I was 17 years old I had to run away from home. With nowhere to go, I decided to hitchhike from Southern California to New Orleans. This trip forced me to sleep in several homeless shelters and under various bridges. Although I was determined to spend the rest of my life as a vagabond, as the unhealthy nature of my home life left me with some deep emotional wounds, I ultimately realized that I had to change this mentality. As an undocumented individual, I believed that college or higher education was not an option for me. I was lost. I changed my perspective once I began talking to people under similar circumstances. Although the people I spoke to had a diverse array of backgrounds, with some blaming their destitution on our broken foster care system while others blamed our most recent recession, they all had one unifying regret: not pursuing a higher education. These answers made me come to an important realization: higher education serves as our nation’s most effective tool for social mobility. This convinced me to not only go back to school, but also help other disadvantaged students. Citizenship would remove barriers in my career that will allow me to become a public servant for those that feel helpless.

Hawkinson, McDougald Invited to NFL Combine
Feb. 7, 2013
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson and safety Bradley McDougald have been invited to participate in the National Football League’s annual scouting combine in Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 20-26. The league released its full list of 333 athletes that have been invited to the combine Thursday morning.
The Jayhawk teammates, who both played in the East-West Shrine Game on Jan. 19, will interview, work out and take medical and psychological tests for scouts and team executives from all 32 NFL teams. Hawkinson will be at the NFL Combine Feb. 20-23, while McDougald is in the final group to arrive in Indianapolis and will be there from Feb. 23-26. Various segments from the Combine will be televised by the NFL Network.
Hawkinson was tabbed honorable mention for the Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year award in 2012. During his senior season, the 6-foot-5 ½ offensive tackle was named Second Team All-Big 12 and played an integral role in helping the Jayhawks rank 24th in the country and third in the conference in rushing yards per game. He also set two Kansas records his senior season, he concluded his career by starting all 48 games in his collegiate career, the most starts overall and the most consecutive starts by any player in KU history.
McDougald was also a Second Team All-Big 12 selection during his senior season. He closed out his Kansas career by ranking second on the team in tackles with 92, including 72 solo stops. He had three interceptions, two forced fumbles and 4.0 TFLs for a loss of 18 yards. The Columbus, Ohio native also returned punts, collecting 39 yards on four returns.
This marks the first time that Kansas has had multiple players selected to participate in the NFL Combine since 2009, when current NFL players Dezmon Briscoe, Kerry Meier and Darrell Stuckey took part in the pre-draft workouts. Last season, linebacker Steven Johnson worked out at the Combine and signed a free agent contract with the Denver Broncos.

Philippines expects "fairness" from US over extrajudicial killings reports
The Duterte administration expects "fairness" from the United States as it branded as "false" reports there were close to 9,000 people killed due to the government's war on illegal drugs.
"On the number of extrajudicial deaths, the persistent news reports of 7,000 killed, which is now being said to be close to 9,000, is false news," said Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella on Friday.
For the period July 1, 2016, shortly after President Rodrigo Duterte assumed post, up to March 24, he said the Philippine National Police has accounted for 6,011 homicide investigation, which was initially called as "deaths under investigation."
"Of this number, only 1,398 cases are found to be drug-related contrary to news reports that there are now close to 9,000 killed connected with the campaign against illegal drugs," the Palace official said in a statement.
Abella made the explanation after Patrick Murphy, US deputy assistant secretary of state for Southeast Asia, has raised concern over the increasing number of alleged extrajudicial killings in the Philippines.
"We however do have a very sustained and deep concern when elements of the drug war are operating outside the rule of law...the growing number of extrajudicial killings is troubling," Murphy said in a news report.
Abella said the Duterte government shares Murphy's concern.
But he said, "we expect fairness and not a rush to judgment."
"Right now the people appreciate the changes and the way these are carried out. We ask to be understood not just from a single perspective, but from the point of view of Filipinos who desire change, stability and fairness," he said.
Abella also said the local authorities follow operational protocols and the proper enforcement of the Philippine laws requires the use of reasonable force merited by the attendant circumstances.
"Those who breach procedures are made to answer before the law. The Philippine National Police has an Internal Affairs Service (IAS) tasked to probe police accused of such violations," he said, explaining that the body can suspend or dismiss PNP personnel based on violations incurred and can recommend the filing of criminal charges.

The Ultimate Brand List | Workout Clothing
In the past, our choice of workout clothing for men was limited to the main sports conglomerates. Now we have startup unicorns, pursuit specialists and fashion brands all vying for attention in the activewear space.
Although a turbulent 2020 may have shelved any plans for a beach holiday. There is still plenty of reasons to maintain your exercise routine and fit in a few workouts every week.
In this ‘new normal’ world, our time-sapping commutes have been removed and have thus left us with more available time. Used wisely, we can maximise this to our advantage. Take it as an opportunity to improve your mental and physical wellbeing. Listening to podcasts, reading, meditating or partaking in some exercise can all help to lift our mood and develop longlasting benefits.
We have pulled together the ultimate list of brands providing the best workout clothing for men. No matter whether it is some living room yoga, a run in the park or a trip to the gym, this range of sports specialists will have something for everyone.
Where else to start but with the globally-renowned US sports giant. They are the largest supplier of sports clothing and accessories in the world and dominate the market.
Since its inception in 1964, the famous Nike swoosh logo has become a symbol of style as much as it has sports. The explosion in athleisure over recent years has only benefitted the brand further with social perceptions changing towards sportswear.
There probably isn’t a sport that Nike can’t dress you for. The brand focuses on functionality throughout their ranges making sure their clothing and footwear won’t let you down.

Harnessing the power of influencers the brand quickly found fame among a community of likeminded individuals. Ben is the visionary but also the target market and it is that combination that makes them so successful.
The Gymshark range utilises high-quality material offering fit and function from clothing engineered to be worn in the gym.
As the name suggests, Alo Yoga made its name by developing yoga specific clothing. With yoga, mobility is key. That is why Alo Yoga creates products that can help you reach that figure of enlightenment easier.

Then they give a percentage of sales from that collection to a charity focused on delivering safe water to the country.
Every range is a limited run, so get your hands on them before they fly off the shelves.

The hearing, where the mother of Trayvon Martin has been asked to testify about the devastating effects of radical changes to gun laws that were backed by the American Legislative Exchange Council in partnership with the NRA, will be webcast live on Tuesday, October 29 at 10am eastern/9am central at this link. Also, here is a letter thanking the Senate Judiciary Committee for shedding light on "Stand Your Ground" laws and ALEC's role in pushing for such laws, from organizations that cumulatively represent more than 10 million Americans.
Mr. Chairman, and Members of the Committee, my name is Lisa Graves, and I am the Executive Director of the Center for Media and Democracy, the publisher of PRWatch.org, ALECexposed.org, SourceWatch.org, and BanksterUSA.org. The organization I lead is a national investigative watchdog group based in Madison, Wisconsin, that has more than 150,000 supporters.
I previously served as the Chief Counsel for Nominations for the Chairman and then Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Patrick Leahy. I also served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Policy/Policy Development at the U.S. Department of Justice and as the Deputy Chief of the Article III Judges Division of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, in addition to other posts in the non-profit sector on national security issues.
I commend the Committee, and its Chairman, for holding this hearing to examine the deadly consequences of so-called "Stand Your Ground" (SYG) laws that have proliferated in the states since 2005, at the urging of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
SYG laws were peddled by the NRA and ALEC alongside bills to expand the number of people carrying concealed firearms, creating a volatile combination that puts more and more American children and adults at risk of being shot and killed. This Committee has held countless hearings over the years on both federal and state crime policies that affect the rights of Americans, and it is fitting that the Senate examine SYG and the organizations that have urged that SYG become binding law.
I am especially concerned about the activities of ALEC to push the NRA's agenda into law because ALEC has routinely filed tax returns with the IRS claiming it engages in no lobbying, zero. Yet, ALEC and its agents have routinely bragged about getting SYG introduced and passed -- the very definition of lobbying -- while claiming to the IRS and the public that it spends not a single dollar on lobbying. Today, I will describe the evidence that shows that ALEC is no ordinary non-profit and the ways in which it has misled the public about the true nature of its activities.
I will also detail the role of the NRA in ALEC and ALEC's role in pushing for SYG laws. I will also discuss the effect of the three main parts of that law, and how that law affected the initial treatment of George Zimmerman's killing of Trayvon Martin; how it affected the trial; and how it may affect a civil suit.
In an accompanying appendix to the statement I am submitting for the record, I also describe the role of corporations, such as Koch Industries, and numerous other grantees of the Koch family fortune in advancing the ALEC corporate agenda, along with other aspects of ALEC's legacy, such as efforts to make it harder for American citizens to vote, as well as its current legislative agenda.
ALEC "Is a Corporate Lobby Masquerading as a Charity"
ALEC describes itself as the largest voluntary group of state legislators in the country, but it is really a corporate-financed lobby that facilitates getting special interest legislation into the hands of lawmakers from every state in the country. In the words of Bill Moyers, ALEC is "the most influential corporate-funded political force most of America has never heard of" as noted in the "United States of ALEC."
At the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD), we launched ALECexposed.org in July 2013 after a whistleblower provided me with nearly 1,000 "model" bills secretly voted on by corporate lobbyists through ALEC. We analyzed ALEC's operations in detail and broke the initial story with The Nation magazine.
Among other things, CMD examined more than a decade of federal tax filings by ALEC, and we discovered that while ALEC likes to tell the press it is an association of lawmakers, more 98% of its revenue is from corporations and sources other an legislative dues. Lawmakers pay nominal "dues" of $50 a year -- largely window-dressing -- while corporations pay thousands of dollars a year to be part of ALEC and gain special access to legislators at resorts, up to three times a year. ALEC claims it is just like the National Conference of State Legislators, but we found striking differences: NCSL does not hide corporate-funded trips for lawmakers; in NCSL, the parties alternate leadership, and corporations are not equals to lawmakers in NCSL and do not vote as equals as legislators.
ALEC is the epitome of a pay-to-play operation that gives special interests special access, but the way it conducts its operations is very unusual and troubling. That is why ALEC is subject to no fewer than three separate tax fraud complaints to the IRS, with supporting evidence provided by four groups: Common Cause, Clergy Voice, the Voters Legislative Transparency Project, and my organization, CMD.
ALEC Is Subject to Three Complaints Alleging Tax Fraud
ALEC is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which means that corporations can theoretically deduct the thousands of dollars they pay ALEC to get their legislative wish lists in the hands of lawmakers. ALEC has routinely told the IRS that it engages in zero lobbying, even though numerous communications have been obtained through open records requests and other sources that show ALEC asking for legislation to be introduced, urging that specific legislation be adopted, and taking credit when its legislation becomes law. ALEC is no "charity" -- it is a lobby that has routinely boasted to its corporate members that each year nearly 1,000 ALEC bills are introduced in state legislatures and nearly 20% become law.
A review of ALEC task forces by CMD revealed that almost all of the for-profit corporations that participate in ALEC task forces are represented by their registered lobbyists or are described by their employers as their "government affairs" staffer within the corporation's internal lobbying shop. CMD and Common Cause have also obtained documents showing that corporations have secretly and routinely sponsored bills at ALEC Task Force meetings and then voted on those bills with legislators at ALEC meetings. Under ALEC's published bylaws, its state legislative leaders are tasked with a "duty" to get ALEC bills "introduced," and they do. Some ALEC corporations then lobby for them without disclosing they pre-voted on them.
That is, as Common Cause pleaded to the IRS, the for-profit corporations that are part of ALEC may also be liable under federal tax laws for taking charitable deductions for activity that is at its root lobbying for legislation through ALEC. CMD agrees with the words of the late former Congressman Bob Edgar, "ALEC is a corporate lobby masquerading as a charity." The potential liability for the tax fraud alleged could subject ALEC, and possibly those bankrolling it, to criminal and civil liability according to Marcus Owens, the former chief of the IRS' non-profit division.
ALEC has repeatedly claimed to the IRS that it spends no money on travel for federal or state officials, but CMD has extensively documented that these claims are also contrary to the evidence. DBA Press and CMD obtained a three-year spreadsheet of corporate funding for trips by lawmakers along with the names of every corporation that funded the trips and all of the lawmakers who took them.
The amounts spent on lawmaker travel totaled about $500,000 per year for lawmakers' hotel, airfare, and other expenses, yet each year ALEC claimed it spent nothing for travel. As CMD wrote in its joint report with DBA Press and Common Cause, ALEC's "scholarships" warrant a thorough IRS investigation of its operations.
CMD also documented that lawmakers routinely solicit funds for these trips from corporations with business before the state and that corporations were told that they could take a charitable deduction for such gifts. ALEC has taken in millions of dollars cumulatively for this travel including one check from PhRMA for $356,000.
Some states have barred legislators from accepting such gifts, while other states have considered or are considering whether ALEC has violated state ethics laws. We know ALEC told the IRS that state lawmakers control the travel fund while ALEC also told state ethics boards the opposite: that state lawmakers do not control it, ALEC does.
VLTP's Bob Sloan has filed an IRS whistleblower complaint against ALEC based primarily on its scholarship program. Clergy Voice also complained about ALEC's non-disclosed lobbying and how donations bring lawmakers to meet with corporate lobbyists and ALEC meetings while giving the corporations a tax write-off.
Additionally, CMD and Common Cause recently submitted supplemental evidence to the IRS in support of the initial complaint filed by Common Cause's Mr. Edgar after CMD launched ALECexposed in July 2013. The supplemental filing last month provided the IRS with numerous documents obtained by DBA Press, CMD, and Common Cause in a number of states that show that ALEC has spent a projected $2 million for lawmaker travel in recent years on the state "scholarship" travel alone -- in addition to more sums for lawmaker travel via the ALEC task forces. CMD and Common Cause have also asked each state Attorney General to examine whether ALEC is operating in violation of state law.
ALEC's Corporate Funders Were Known Well before this Hearing
Accordingly, it is astonishing ALEC and a small number of its legislators -- many of whom get their trips to ALEC resort meetings paid for by corporations, whose identities are well known to them -- are taking umbrage at this Committee for inquiring about ALEC's legislative agenda and which corporations have bankrolled it. The lawmakers know who funds ALEC's bill machine and their trips, but until we launched ALECexposed two years ago, the public was largely in the dark about these special interests and the one-stop shopping ALEC provides for corporations and trade groups to secretly advance the same cookie-cutter bills in nearly every state.
Despite the hoopla trumped up over Senator Durbin's letter, quite frankly, every single for-profit and non-profit corporation this Committee asked about its support for ALEC and its long-standing gun agenda is a corporation that is publicly known to have funded ALEC or participated in its meetings about bills, based on the investigative research of CMD, along with others like Common Cause, DBA Press, VLTP, CAP, Greenpeace, bloggers at Daily Kos, and many, many ordinary citizen sleuths.
Indeed, for more than two years, many thousands of citizens and customers have been conducting a corporate responsibility campaign to ask corporations to stop supporting ALEC's extreme agenda. CMD launched that initiative in July 2013 with a postcard campaign to Coca Cola asking what Coke was doing behind closed doors with ALEC and Koch Industries, and why Coke was supporting a group that was working to thwart efforts to address climate change (and pushing "denialist" legislation), working to make it harder for college students and other Americans to vote through restrictive Voter ID bills, and, among other things, trying to privatize social security which has long been part of the agenda of David and Charles Koch.
These and other CMD reports highlighting the damaging ALEC agenda being funded by corporations were aided by public outreach by Common Cause, People for the American Way, Progress Now, VLTP, and Greenpeace, to name a few, plus numerous bloggers and concerned citizens. Countless workers and their unions, like AFT, NEA, AFL-CIO, AFSCME, SEIU, and others, have also publicly spoken out about ALEC's extreme agenda. The civil rights group Color of Change also began an effort in late 2011 to contact community engagement representatives of public corporations about their concerns about ALEC's voter restriction agenda and also spearheaded a corporate accountability campaign on ALEC's gun agenda in 2013.
In the aftermath of public outrage over the way Florida's SYG law was cited to prevent the arrest and prosecution of George Zimmerman's pursuit and killing of unarmed African American teen Trayvon Martin, at least 49 for-profit corporations and six non-profit corporations publicly said they stopped funding ALEC. More than 70 lawmakers sought to break from ALEC, too, and, in addition, more than 100 ALEC members lost or left their seats last year.
CMD has documented which corporations that have left ALEC and those that have continued to fund its meetings, as well as state and national reports on ALEC's operations, through CMD's publications -- PRWatch.org, ALECexposed.org, and SourceWatch.org. We have also launched a clearinghouse for information about the "State Policy Network" (SPN) groups that amplify ALEC's legislative agenda, and which is funded by some of the same corporations and foundations. (We have also exposed the funding of Fix the Debt, NFIB, and other fronts.)
Here is a link to CMD's op-ed about the PR campaign waged by ALEC in response to the Senate letter about ALEC corporations.
Lobbying Can't Escape Scrutiny by Calling It "Freedom of Association"
I find it especially absurd for the Wall Street Journal -- whose editorial board members have close ties to ALEC that they have failed to disclose in all but one of its numerous editorials and op-eds backing ALEC or the ALEC legislative agenda -- to claim that this Committee is engaged in any kind of McCarthyism, by asserting that corporations have been asked "are you now or have you ever been a member." As far as I can tell, every corporation asked about SYG has been publicly documented to have funded or supported ALEC long before now. For more than two years, CMD has been documenting the for-profit and non-profit corporations that have been working behind closed doors with ALEC lawmakers. That list is fully accessible to the public, including Senators and the press, along with the sources.
The Wall Street Journal's hyperbole, echoed by some of the SPN "think tanks," like the Goldwater Institute, that work closely on ALEC's agenda, is reckless and wrong. The Journal owes the Chairman an apology for its slurs. It also owes its readers an apology for failing to acknowledge its own conflict of interest and that of its editorial board member Steven Moore regarding ALEC in all except one editorial, which was penned after CMD called out the Journal for its failure to acknowledge Moore's close ties to ALEC. To date, it has still refused to detail how much money, if any, its editorial board member receives from outside for-profit or non-profit groups that he works closely with and then promotes on the editorial page.
Moreover, it is extremely dangerous, in my view, to validate the notion that corporations have an unlimited "right" to keep their identities secret when they are involved in lobbying. Indeed, the Republican Texas Attorney General rejected just such a claim last month in response to an ALEC legislator's efforts to shield ALEC from her compliance with state open records laws under the spurious claim that complying with state transparency laws about groups contacting legislators about changing the law would violate ALEC's supposed freedom of association for itself and its corporate bankrollers.
Although ALEC denies that it lobbies, hundreds of documents have been provided to the IRS that show ALEC's staff asking for specific bills to be introduced, voted on, and approved, satisfying the IRS definition of lobbying and related definitions in numerous states. ALEC and its representatives have repeated those denials to the press despite literally pounds of physical evidence to the contrary. Whether the IRS will take action on these claims -- in the face of political pressure by some to claim that its examination of a flurry of groups seeking non-profit status focused only on right-leaning groups, even though documents released after the scandal broke reveal the both progressives and "conservatives" were examined -- remains to be seen. In my view, it would be a scandal if the IRS did not find ALEC to have engaged in a multi-year pattern of deception in its IRS filings regarding lobbying and trips to resorts for lawmakers, funded by corporations.
ALEC is using corporations with legislative interests before the state to fund its operations, but corporate lobbyists also use ALEC to obtain access to, and funnel gifts of travel to, lawmakers whom they want to change state laws. Recognizing such a putative "right" to hide lobbying activity would limit the actual rights of the people those legislators were elected to represent and limit the ability of citizens to protect against the corruption of our lawmakers. Such a claim of "associational" rights, if accepted, could be used to thwart not only the enforcement of state ethics laws but also federal lobbying and disclosure laws.
Such claims also fly in the face of long-standing clean government laws, even though such laws -- as we have seen and documented in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision -- remain inadequate to obtain all the disclosure needed to protect the integrity of the democratic process. (Unsurprisingly, ALEC opposed the addition of new disclosure rules in response to that case and its former long-standing member the Center for Competitive Politics in its press release about Senator Durbin's letter uses that as a vehicle to complain about the Senate's DISCLOSE Act as a purported abuse of transparency and disclosure rules.)
In a healthy democracy, the powerful cannot just create a secretive "club" made of legislators and lobbyists where legislation is discussed and pushed, and then claim it is a violation of "freedom of association" if a legislative body or a citizen asks who is funding such operations and what legislation has been advanced with such funds. The American people have a fundamental right to know which corporations or special interests are seeking to influence their elected lawmakers, and which corporation's lobbyists are wining and dining their representatives in our republic. The People have a fundamental right to regulate or bar such corrupting activities.
ALEC Opposes Transparency and Threatens State Sunshine Laws
In many states citizens have a right to see the letters or emails of for-profit or non-profit corporations that contact lawmakers, in order to help citizens protect against corruption of their representatives. Yet ALEC and its allies have recently started claiming that ALEC has an unlimited right to associate and communicate secretly with legislators that trumps citizens' rights under state open records laws.
In the aftermath of open records disclosures that have become the basis of complaints to the IRS alleging ALEC is defrauding taxpayers, ALEC has started claiming that its communications with lawmakers -- who are part of ALEC because they are lawmakers and who are often put on ALEC Task Forces that coincide with their state legislature's substantive committee assignment -- are no longer subject to, or responsive to, government transparency laws in some states.
ALEC has literally stamped communications about bills it wants lawmakers to introduce with a disclaimer that such documents and emails are not subject to open records laws. It has also demanded that lawmakers give it special treatment and notify it of every open records request and consult with it before providing any documents to the public. This constitutes a real obstruction of the law, in my view.
One of ALEC's primary objections, its reason for being, is to get state laws changed. As noted above, under ALEC's published bylaws, the state legislative leaders that aid ALEC have been tasked for years with a "duty" to get ALEC legislation introduced into law, as they have for SYG bills and in numerous other areas of the law. ALEC legislative leaders are also tasked with helping to raise funds for ALEC, and as CMD has documented some lawmakers have used their office and official letterhead to solicit money from corporations for ALEC, for their trips.
CMD is in the midst of a fight to preserve open government in Wisconsin, where an ALEC politician is trying to void the state's tradition of transparency by claiming that legislators are now immune from enforcement of open records laws.
That claim by Wisconsin state Senator Leah Vukmir has been condemned by the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council, which noted that "no lawmaker has ever before tried to defeat the state's open records law by employing this ruse." Papers across the state are editorializing against this effort to thwart transparency.
Another state freedom of information foundation has also condemned a related ALEC attempt to claim a "freedom of association" right against lawmakers complying with traditional open records laws, noting that "ALEC's arguments reflect a dangerous trend of claiming a constitutional right to close the public off from governmental body deliberations," including who is communicating to lawmakers.
The truth is that ALEC successfully moved its legislative agenda in the states in secret for decades with little public scrutiny or sustained attention, before CMD launched ALECexposed.org. Now that the public and press can connect the dots between ALEC corporate funders, the legislation those special interests want adopted, and the lawmakers introducing ALEC bills, ALEC is throwing up all kinds of claims, such as having a right to associate with lawmakers in secret, in spite of laws requiring lobbying and gifts to be disclosed, which ALEC has defied, in my opinion.
ALEC and its allies among some right-wing outlets have also sought to demonize those who dare to speak up about ALEC's agenda and its dubious operations, through the Orwellian claim that when citizens speak out about ALEC and what companies are funding the American people are supposedly suppressing the speech of powerful corporations. But corporations have enormous treasuries to advance their legislative agendas, and people have a right to hold them accountable.
ALEC also seeks to wrap itself in the First Amendment even as its agenda includes legislation to criminalize journalism, as with its bill to impose onerous restrictions on investigations of factory farms (through its "Ag-Gag" bill), for example. ALEC has recently entertained the idea that it might support anti-SLAPP legislation sought by Yelp, but it remains to be seen if its legislators will put any real effort behind that bill or whether this overture will be just a talking point for PR purposes that does not get any momentum from ALEC lawmakers in the states.
ALEC has also claimed to unwitting reporters that its meetings are open to the press, while denying credentials to reporters, denying press with credentials from seeing the task force meetings where corporations vote alongside legislators, and hiring security and police officers who have interrogated reporters for speaking to un-credentialed reporters or activists.
It has even circulated "face sheets" containing the photos of those who have written stories critical of ALEC (including me). Its PR operations have also helped deploy opposition research against journalists whose investigations have revealed unfavorable facts about it and then touted such stories in emails to lawmakers.
ALEC has recently decided to use the slogan "Protect Free Speech: Be Heard. Speak Up," but its record indicates contempt for investigative reporters as well as citizens who speak up and ask to be heard on their objections to ALEC's special interest legislation and to elected representatives voting on ALEC model bills with lobbyists of out-of-state or even foreign companies, behind closed doors. The fact that such legislation still has to be voted on in a legislature before it becomes law does not negate what it means for corporations to vote first. Plus, we have seen in recent years that ALEC legislation has been rammed through legislatures by ALEC legislators, often without hearings and allowing no amendments to bills pre-approved by ALEC corporations.
For these and other reasons, the Committee's inquiry into ALEC is just and modest, under the circumstances. If this Senate cannot make inquiries into a non-profit or for-profit corporation which has enormous influence on lawmaking and which has been accused of federal tax fraud by numerous citizens, then the Senate needs to be reformed and its investigative powers must be made much stronger.
We commend the Chairman's courage in holding this hearing and for asking tough questions about the shady operation known as ALEC and its role in remaking U.S. gun laws, as well as many other areas of law affecting people's human rights and civil rights under our federal Constitution and our state constitutions.
The ALEC/NRA SYG Laws: Their Roots and Their Fruit
By most accounts, the SYG laws that have spread across the country had their genesis in 2005, when the first SYG law passed in Florida, but that ignores the legal and political landscape that preceded that event.
By all accounts, the National Rifle Association is one of the richest non-profit groups in the country. Unlike ALEC, the NRA discloses the costs of its extensive lobbying activities ($2.9 million federally in 2012, an additional sums in the states, through its "Institute for Legislative Action," the NRA-ILA). The various arms of the NRA had revenues and expenses of nearly 250 million in 2011, the most recent year for which its tax filings are available.
The NRA receives untold sums from global gun sellers, and it also charges $35 per year for people to become subscribers. The NRA and its related organizations paid its Executive Director, Wayne LaPierre, a corporate-style salary of just under $1 million in total compensation in 2011, along with hundreds of thousands in compensation it paid to other NRA executives, according to tax forms.
The NRA is a formidable power in American politics, though it counts only a fraction of American gun owners among its members. It had 3.1 million subscribers to its magazines in 2012, out of an estimated 70 million gun owners in the U.S. In addition to lobbying spending, the NRA's PAC spent nearly $2 million on direct contributions to political candidates (predominantly Republicans) in 2012, and the NRA spent an additional $19 million on "outside spending" in political advertising, most of which were for negative ads against Democrats and a smaller portion of advertising that favored Republicans. In 2010, the NRA spent an estimated $28 million on political contributions, outside spending, and federal and state lobbying.
To understand the push for the SYG laws, it is important to understand the election cycles that preceded it. In the 2000 presidential race, the NRA ran heavy ads in West Virginia and in Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore's home state of Tennessee. Gore lost both states. In West Virginia, where I volunteered for 'Get Out the Vote' activities, the NRA also bought an hour-length ad to abut "60 Minutes" the Sunday before the election that featured hunters and union men in tears, stoked by the NRA that Gore would take away their guns.
In spite of the unprecedented intervention of a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the recount of votes in Florida counties and the flawed butterfly ballot and ballot punches, part of the political lore of that election has become that Gore lost due to the spending power of the NRA, which worked hard to defeat him in his home region. There was no evidence that Gore had any intent or desire to take away the guns of law-abiding citizens, but that was irrelevant to NRA attack ad campaigns.
After President George W. Bush was sworn in, dozens of new political appointees, such as Ted Cruz who would later be elected Senator from Texas, entered the Justice Department and began working on changing federal laws, including the interpretation and application of gun laws. In the Office of Policy Development, I was the deputy tasked near the end of the Clinton Administration, and after the tragic gun massacre at Columbine, with working with the Deputy Attorney General's office on gun policy, among other issues. I became the managing editor of the National Integrated Firearms Violence Reduction Strategy, which included inter- and intra-agency recommendations for strengthening U.S. gun laws.
I continued to meet as part of the firearms working group during the transition to the new administration after Bush was sworn in and that is how I came to work briefly with Ted Cruz, who now represents Texas in the Senate. He had been tasked with working on gun issues at the Justice Department as a new Bush appointee who had spent time on the presidential campaign as part of the "Bush-Cheney Florida Recount Team."
In the midst of the transition while I continued to participate in the firearms working group meetings on substantive issues as a career staff member at DOJ, I learned that one of the first activities of the political appointees on the Justice Department's gun working group was to go on an outing with NRA reps to a shooting range nearby. I was also told that the Attorney General and some of the Schedule C appointees down the hall in the Deputy AG's office were meeting regularly with NRA reps and critics of Clinton gun policies, like John Lott and others.
Subsequently, newly sworn in Attorney General John Ashcroft issued a letter to the NRA effectively changing decades of Justice Department policy regarding the interpretation of the Second Amendment, to state that it protected a fundamental individual right, suggesting that any regulation of that right is subject to strict scrutiny. That position was contrary to assurances he made in his Senate confirmation hearings, but it signaled a sea change for the Justice Department on gun policies. Seven years later, a split Supreme Court -- with the addition of two Bush appointees -- would rule 5-4 in favor of the position of Ashcroft and the NRA on that point.
As many recall, in the mid-term elections of 2002, the Republicans took back the Senate, and with one-party control of the political branches, Congress lacked the political will and the numbers to stop the Clinton Administration's "assault weapons" ban from expiring in late 2004, a presidential election year. Bush was declared the winner of that race, and the Republicans also increased their margin in the Senate.
Following that election, the NRA had no major Democratic bogeyman at the federal level to fundraise against or to stoke fears that Democrats were coming for people's guns. A majority of state legislatures and state governorships were also under Republican control, which made it easier for the NRA to get its legislation adopted. I believe the NRA was in search of another wedge issue that would suggest that people's rights were at risk and that would allow the NRA to push through legislation that might aid gun sales while also providing another means to politically punish anyone who dared to vote against its legislative agenda.
How the "Castle Doctrine"/SYG Bill Became the Law
It is against this backdrop that in late 2004, the NRA's lobbyist and former president, Marion Hammer, invented what became known as SYG legislation.
The bill she "conceived" was dubbed the "Castle Doctrine," a name that evokes the phrase "your home is your castle." The name is misleading because in Florida and in every other state, Americans' rights to defend themselves in their homes from an intruder is well-protected under long-standing laws of self-defense. However, the bill name masked the fact that it was designed to dramatically change the effect of invoking a self-defense claim and to change the substantive law of what counts as justifiable homicide, as described in more detail below.
Ms. Hammer approached two Florida lawmakers who were members of ALEC -- Florida state Sen. Durell Peaden (R-Crestview) and Rep. Dennis Baxley (R-Ocala) -- to get her idea introduced as a bill. In 2005, Sen. Peaden was an ALEC leader, serving on the Executive Committee of ALEC's "Health and Human Services Task Force." Baxley, a former head of the Christian Coalition in Florida, is also a member of ALEC. His legislative résumé includes sponsoring bills creating license plates honoring the Confederacy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
The NRA's bill was converted to legislative language with the help of other lawmakers, and it was adopted by both houses of the Florida legislature in the spring of 2005. During the votes, Ms. Hammer was reportedly observed staring down lawmakers. The bill was signed into law on April 26, 2005, by Governor Jeb Bush, with Ms. Hammer, looking over his shoulder.
However, because the new law would require that Florida's jury instructions be changed its implementation was delayed until the fall of the 2005. New jury instructions were to be written over the summer to apply to claims of justifiable homicide before the new law could take effect.
How the Florida SYG Law Became an ALEC "Model" for the Nation
In the summer of 2005, at ALEC's annual meeting in Grapevine, Texas, the the NRA's Hammer asked legislators and lobbyists at a closed-door meeting of ALEC's 'Criminal Justice Task Force' to adopt the Florida Castle Doctrine/SYG bill as an ALEC model bill. Notably, it was the NRA that brought the bill to ALEC, not the ALEC legislators who sponsored it. That's because, like many ALEC bills, it was really the special interest's legislative agenda, not the brainchild of the legislators.
The NRA-ILA posted at the time that Hammer's pitch "was well received," and the bill was approved "unanimously" at the ALEC Task Force meeting.
That ALEC Task Force was co-chaired by Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer of ammunition; it is nation's largest seller of guns and ammunition. Also, ALEC's crime Task Force director was Chris Oswald, former "State Liaison" for the NRA.
As noted above, corporate lobbyists and state legislators on ALEC Task Forces have equal votes on proposed model legislation, so the Florida law was ratified by Wal-Mart and its 2005 public sector co-chair, Texas Rep. Ray Allen, along with other state legislators and corporate lobbyists. It was also endorsed by a representative of the Koch-funded Heritage Foundation, according to minutes of the secret meeting. The full list of lawmakers, corporate lobbyists, and special interest groups at that meeting has not been disclosed.
In September 2005, that bill was adopted by ALEC's National Board of Directors, which has a procedure to allow model bills to be approved if there is no objection. At the time, the public sector portion of ALEC's board was chaired by Georgia state Rep. Earl Ehrhart; the corporate board included Koch Industries, Altria (parent of Philip Morris), Coors, Bell South, and Verizon. (ALEC has said its corporate board does not vote. Corporations and elected officials have an equal vote in the task forces, and the board usually defers and ratifies the model bills adopted.)
At the next ALEC Criminal Justice Task Force meeting, in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, in 2006, the NRA's rep reported on the "continued success" in securing passage of the ALEC/NRA Castle Doctrine/SYG bill in other states.
Similarly, in 2007, an ALEC "Legislative Report Card" boasted that the ALEC/NRA Castle Doctrine/SYG bill was introduced or passed in numerous states. ALEC also highlighted legislators who introduced versions of its model bill, including Texas state Sen. Jeff Wentworth and Rep. Joe Driver.
Then, in 2008, ALEC filed an amicus brief in a U.S. Supreme Court case on the same side as the NRA to adopt the Ashcroft view of the Second Amendment. Later, at the American Conservative Union's CPAC meeting, the NRA's Cam Edwards interviewed Michael Hough, who was then ALEC's "Public Safety and Elections Task Force" director/staffer, to discuss "ALEC's strong relationship with the NRA and explain the support of gun rights and ownership." Hough told listeners that ALEC worked "with our partners, the National Rifle Association" on the brief.
ALEC's Hough also praised the relationship between ALEC and the NRA on issues like the Castle Doctrine/SYG legislation, stating: "Some of the things that we were pushing in states was the 'Castle Doctrine,' we worked with the NRA on that. That's one of our model bills we have states introduce ..."
To be clear, this is just one of many instances in which ALEC has talked about what any reasonable person understands to be lobbying, and yet ALEC has repeatedly filed IRS reports claiming to the agency that it does no lobbying at all.
Notably, the NRA was a long-time member and long-time funder of ALEC. An NRA representative was an active part of ALEC's renamed Public Safety and Elections Task Force, and its predecessor task forces, for at least two decades.
Tara Mica, the NRA-Institute for Legislative Action State Liaison, was also the co-chair of ALEC's Public Safety and Elections Task Force in 2008, 2009, and 2010 and into 2011. While the NRA was co-chair, that ALEC Task Force approved legislation to make it harder for Americans to vote through its controversial "voter ID" bill and also the Arizona anti-immigrant legislation, SB 1070, before it was introduced in the state legislature, in addition to other bills that benefit the private prison industry.
To date, the ALEC/NRA Castle Doctrine/SYG bills have been passed in whole or in part in more than two dozen states. Only in the past year or so has the bill become known as the SYG bill as opposed to the Castle Doctrine, which is the name it bears in almost every state in which it was introduced to become law.
In 2012, ALEC announced it was abandoning its Public Safety and Elections Task Force in the wake of the outcry over Trayvon Martin's killer walking free. Despite efforts to distance themselves from the Castle Doctrine/SYG legislation, neither ALEC nor the corporations that are funding it have done anything to undo the damage done by this law or other aspects of ALEC's extreme gun agenda. Despite its efforts to get the bill adopted, it has done nothing to get them repealed.
How the ALEC/NRA SYG Law Changed the Law
The SYG law passed in Florida and adopted as an ALEC model in 2005 makes three main changes to the law.
It attempts to create immunity from criminal prosecution, which it defines broadly to include "arresting, detaining in custody, charging or prosecuting," for the use of deadly force if a person who claims self-defense, under certain circumstances.
Under traditional criminal law, when a person is killed the state can arrest and charge a person who uses deadly force with a crime and the defendant can assert a defense to the crime, but pre-SYG a state could not be blocked from arresting a suspect in a killing and letting a jury decide if the use of force was justified. The state has the burden of proof of establishing the elements of intentional murder or unintentional manslaughter, beyond a reasonable doubt, and the defense may seek to argue an excuse for the killing, such as self-defense or, in other words, to claim that the killing was justified and so the defendant should not be convicted. While traditionally prosecutors have discretion not to charge in cases of deadly force where self-defense is claimed, what the SYG law does is attempt to tie the hands of police and prosecutors.
It also changes the burden of proof by creating a legal "presumption" that a person had a reasonable fear of imminent death or great bodily harm if that person kills someone believed to be unlawfully entering a home or vehicle, for example. That is, the person who kills another in those circumstances may not actually have had a reasonable fear of death or serious harm, but the SYG law changes the rules to make the law presume that such fear was reasonable and thus killing was justified. It also provides that someone who "attempts to enter a person's dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle is presumed to be doing so with the intent to commit an unlawful act involving force or violence," even if that was not their actual intent.
These presumptions can have the effect of barring the arrest and prosecution of someone who kills another attempting to enter their home. What this means is that the SYG law is designed to prevent a jury from considering whether someone who used deadly force was justified, acted reasonably, and used reasonable force.
Regardless of whether someone who shoots another to death seeks to invoke these presumptions and obtain criminal immunity, the SYG bill also changes the underlying substantive law of the state regarding justifiable homicide.
The ALEC/NRA SYG bill provides that: "A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another, or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony."
By its terms, the NRA/ALEC model bill transports the traditional rules for self-defense in one's home to any place a person has a right to be, including any public place, such as a bar or a sporting event. This is significant because under traditional criminal law a person outside his home has a duty to retreat and avoid using deadly force if possible.
As a result of the SYG law, Florida's model jury instructions had to be re-written. Here are the instructions that would have been given, prior to 2005:
"The defendant cannot justify the use of force likely to cause death or great bodily harm unless he used every reasonable means within his power and consistent with his own safety to avoid the danger before resorting to that force."
"The fact that the defendant was wrongfully attacked cannot justify his use of force likely to cause death or great bodily harm if by retreating he could have avoided the need to use that force."
Here is the jury instruction as a result of the SYG law passing in Florida:
"If [the defendant] was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in any place where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony."
This jury instruction contains the exact language used in the SYG law.
SYG also changes the law to grant immunity from civil suit for a defendant claiming deadly force was justified under the circumstances provided. It does not, however, specify a time-frame for making such a motion.
It also provides that if a judge grants immunity then the plaintiff -- the family of the shooting victim -- would have to pay the killer's attorney's fees and lost wages.
What this part of the law does is make it harder for the family of a shooting victim to sue the killer of their child, spouse, or parent.
It can be difficult to obtain a criminal conviction when self-defense is claimed. A civil trial, however, has many advantages over a criminal trial when someone has died at the hands of another. The first advantage is that the burden of proof is more easily met. Rather proof beyond a reasonable doubt, the plaintiff would have to prove what more likely happened.
The second advantage of a civil case is that, unlike a criminal trial where a defendant cannot be compelled to testify against himself in risk of criminal jeopardy, the victim's family can put the killer under oath. That is, the killer would not be able to invoke Fifth Amendment protections and he or she would be subject to cross-examination by an adversary. If a civil case were not barred by the SYG grant of immunity from suit, a killer who used deadly force causing the death of another would have to justify himself before a jury, which could consider his claims about what happened without any SYG-imposed presumption that deadly force was reasonable or presumption that a victim had any intent to use force or violence. Additionally, upon cross-examination, a defendant's history of violence could potentially impeach him.
However, the SYG law is designed to try to prevent a jury from considering the facts on the merits, without the thumb of the NRA on the scale of justice.
CMD has assembled an appendix to this statement that provides more details about the evidence in the Zimmerman case and how the law affected the Zimmerman case. That appendix, which is attached below, also discusses the role of the Koch family fortune in funding ALEC and related groups.
For all of these reasons, I applaud the Committee's consideration of the damaging effects of the SYG laws, the effect of these laws, and who is behind them.
Thank you for considering my views.

Today there was a big milestone for me. I am doing Dr. Schubinger program at the same time because I feel I need to go deeper into psychoanalysis and he is very good in guiding us. I am in week 1 and I wrote past, present stressors. I did my first psychotherapy session today. Afterwards I did the self dialogue here and found the main reason of what triggered the pain. I finally realized which of the stressors was the initial trigger, so I am very content with this result.

Following moves by the authorities in Beijing to boost confidence in the equities market, Chinese stocks on Monday saw their biggest gains in nearly three years, surging some 4 percent, despite slowing economic growth.
Most importantly, mainland China’s benchmark gauge, the Shanghai Composite Index, closed Monday 4.1 percent higher, recording its biggest day gain in two and a half years, while the benchmark Hong Kong Hang Seng Index gained 2.3 percent for its biggest jump in a month.
The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index gained 2.6 percent, and the tech-focused Shenzhen Composite Index and Component Index gained nearly 5 percent each.
So is the Chinese stock route over, despite a trade war that continues to intensify and indications that the economy is slowing? And is this the bottom? For today, yes—and it’s all because of some well-timed policy dropping by Chinese officials.
One of the biggest saviors of the day is talk of tax cuts and bailout funds for listed companies struggling to make ends meet.
First off, Beijing has unveiled a new plan to cut personal income taxes, citing third-quarter GDP data that shows, as Bloomberg puts it “economic growth slowed to the slowest since 2009 at 6.5%”.
Speaking to Caixin, a Chinese financial magazine, People’s Bank of China (PBOC) policy advisor Ma Jun said that next year’s tax cuts and fee reductions could reach or surpass 1 percent of GDP, Reuters reported Monday.
Tax reductions for this year should already exceed 1.3 trillion yuan, without hints of even more to come. Related: Supply Issues Weigh On Pot Stocks As Canada Goes Legal
In fact, next year’s tax cuts could outdo Trump’s, Ma reportedly said.
But it’s more than just a hint that sent markets surging Monday. On Saturday, Beijing went as far as to publish a draft version of its plan for tax deductions.
The stock market rally was also bolstered by Chinese President Xi Jingping’s statement of support for the private sector in an open letter to Chinese entrepreneurs over the weekend. Not only did he lavish high praise on the private sector, but he also made it clear that the Beijing has confidence in capitalism—which, in turn, boosts investor confidence.
And that “support” isn’t just paying lip service to the private sector: In fact, the chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Liu Shiyu, delivered a speech Monday detailing measures by Beijing that would support share buy-backs, facilitate M&A approvals and bond transfers, and encourage private equity investment in stocks.
The regulatory commission also noted that it would the gap period from three years to six months for companies that plan to restructure to list again if their first IPO application is rejected, reports the South China Morning Post, noting that “this is likely to result in more back door listings”.
For investors in China’s massive tech sector, Liu also suggested new policies designed to support private equity investment specifically in technology.
Alibaba (BABA), China’s premier e-commerce giant, had gained over $4 on the NYSE by 10:30 Monday morning EST, after losing some 17 percent since the beginning of the year over trade war concerns:

Pink is not one of my favorite colors, I know I have said this many times and it is growing on me. My granddaughter loves it in all shades. So it I took a day or so to decided how to approach Silke picking pink (sorry Silke). I looked up Gerbera Daisies and they do come in all shades of Pink, Red, Yellow, etc. This being one of the stamp sets I have of Flourishes, I playing again this week. I really like the Flourishes Classic White card stock, it has a nice feel to it. And it's easy to use with the copics for coloring! I stamped the image and got it crooked, so I stamped another on a scrap left from yesterday and it fit perfectly. So I pulled out all my pink shades (I had lots) and started coloring, though I only used 3 pinks. Finished that and looked at this great little bouquet I had colored and thought okay now what! Then it hit me get out those edge punches and do something with them. So here you have it. My card measures 5 1/2 square.
Card Stock ~ Classsic White, Pink Passion

I ordered these in blue for both my sons, ages 10 and 13. They LOVE them! Really cool and funny too. The t-shirt is made from that new thinner t-shirt material, not the thick (ie, Hanes Beefy Tee) material. We're OK with that. That seems to be the style for young men/boys these days. True to size. | <urn:uuid:a0d6d55e-f790-4be6-b413-ed6ef3f4bf70> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.dogfunk.com/billabong-uncle-stoke-t-shirt-short-sleeve-boys | 2014-07-22T10:58:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1405997857714.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20140722025737-00011-ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.940963 | 91 |
Trying to persuade a picky eater not to skip lunch or dinner is a little bit tiring especially if he is under the weather. There are two ways to do it: either take him to the pizzeria on the corner or prepare something he likes. Actually it is difficult to make something for the kids both tasty and not sweet. But I came up with this creamy salami pasta salad recipe, it was tasty and did not have any sugar.
My little son had a fever yesterday and he didn’t want to eat anything. As a typical mother I suggested making chicken soup but of course he refused. Finally we agreed on this cold creamy pasta salad. It gave him some energy and filled his stomach and inspired me to make a similar pasta salad for the dinner.
The one for my son had some carrot, apple, beans and corn, the healthy stuff against his illness. For the one I prepared for dinner I thought some salami, pickles and corn would be great. And the magic touch came from chili this time. The contrast between the hot chili peppers and sweetness of corn created a great flavor.
At first I thought it would be a starter, but then it turned out to be the main course. Some refrigerating made it a cold and refreshing dinner for us. Especially my husband liked it a lot. The best thing is that, it is very easy to make. Boil and drain the pasta and mix with the other ingredients. That’s all.
This creamy salami pasta salad recipe makes a fresh and cooling lunch for the hot summer days, or it is a good idea to have a bowl of it for dinner to abstain eating a lot. Having some pasta salad in the fridge also solves the snack problem. You don’t have to look for something to eat when you suddenly feel hungry. Go get a bowl of pasta salad. | <urn:uuid:f6af5bd0-1fcb-4ba6-863b-74d4aba3d410> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://rollingspoons.com/creamy-salami-pasta-salad/ | 2018-01-19T03:05:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084887729.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20180119030106-20180119050106-00522.warc.gz | en | 0.975557 | 382 |

Korean movie director Im Sang-soos The Housemaid will compete at this years Cannes International Film Festival.
His second invitation to the festival follows his first in 2005, when his movie The Presidents Last Bang was screened as part of the events Directors` Fortnight.
The director spoke Monday to the Locarno Film Festivals artistic director Olivier Pere, who introduced Im to Cannes as the general manager of the Directors` Fortnight. Their meeting took place at a café in Hotel Martinez nearby the Palais des Festivals.
Im said, I had hoped to have a chance to see you again in Cannes, to which a smiling Pere answered, Its my big honor and great pleasure.
Pere: In 2005, the majority of the panel said you were a great director. A Good Lawyers Wife made me a big fan of yours. I was really impressed with the mise-en-scene of the movie, which reminded me of classic Hollywood movies of the 1970s.
Im: Back in 2005, my offer to submit The Presidents Last Bang to the Berlin Film Festival was turned down.
Pere: Everybody makes mistakes. Thanks to the mistake of the Berlin Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival got you. (Laughter) Movies are selected by judges. At first glance, it appears fair but I believe its the right way. Thats why judges at film festivals feel a great sense of responsibility.
Im: I never imagined that The Housemaid would be invited to the official competition of the Cannes Film Festival. I got the script in September last year. Shooting took just two months. I was really surprised.
Pere: Its not surprising at all. It is a natural phenomenon showing the status of Korean movies in the world. The Cannes International Film Festival 2010 will be a great chance for Korean movies. You especially stand at the center of Korean cinemas popularity. Kim Ki-youngs 1960 film The Housemaid was screened at the festival in 2008. Unlike Kims movie, which has grotesque features, your movie is a sophisticated work containing biting satire.
Im: Im not a big fan of Kim. I just know that he was a legendary Korean movie director. That could explain why my version of The Housemaid is different from his in detail and expression. While making the movie, I understood that he mustve been a very attractive person. I want to make a movie on Kims life story if given the chance.
Pere: I remember you showed me a script two years ago when you stayed in Paris. What happened to the project? It was really interesting. I could find traces of the script in The Housemaid. The gap between rich and poor, class conflict, etc.
Im: I wanted to deal with discrimination in a more erotic way with the Paris project. The projects a bit different from The Housemaid. A French movie studio turned down my offer to make the script into a movie. Im a bit happy since I got my revenge on the movie studio by being invited to the Cannes. (Laughter)
Pere: Unlike other works submitted to film festivals, The Housemaid strongly appeals to the public. You always seem to make a movie while preparing yourself for your next one.
Im: Some people have asked me whether my invitation to Cannes will change me. Peoples attitudes toward me have changed, but I wont.
Pere: Its a big deal for a director to be invited to the official competition of a film festival. But I feel very relieved to hear you say so. Ive seen many directors who changed after becoming famous.
Im: I know many directors who make similar movies after winning the Palme dOr.
Pere: As expected, youre a very dangerous person. How can you say that in the middle of Cannes? (Laughter) Many directors lose inspiration as they get older. Its very sad. I hope your strong commitment will be a guardian of your movie world. | <urn:uuid:162115c8-8aa9-4ac0-b774-3e5ab95c0090> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.donga.com/en/article/all/20100519/265063/1 | 2022-01-18T08:40:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300805.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220118062411-20220118092411-00348.warc.gz | en | 0.966686 | 813 |
An interesting thing here from some people who call themselves “Community Preparedness Group Int. Inc.” Can’t find this with a google search.
It is my supposition that scientology tends to attract people who are conspiracy theorist/anti-vaxxers/New World Order types because these views fall in well with the Hubbard anti-government, anti-medical, anti-pscyhiatric, anti-communist, anti-UN, anti-everything not scientology world view.
And within scientology people are indoctrinated into Hubbard’s way of thinking, so the chorus of agreement continues to grow within the bubble.
I should not be surprised, I guess, given Hubbard’s extreme views. He built his empire like a fascist dictator — his authoritarian pronouncements were the ONLY acceptable views, and anyone who questioned or opposed them was to be eliminated. While offering PRey platitudes to make himself look good, kind, empathetic and loving, his actions were anything but. He called for police and justice systems to be replaced with his own version. He abhorred the idea of “rewarding downstats” — social safety nets were for DB’s. He railed against taxation and government. He didn’t like or trust the medical field. He was homophobic. Banks and bankers are all sharks. Tax agencies are blood suckers. All in all, a very unlikable person once the veneer of his PR persona was dissolved.
No wonder there are so many unhinged people in the bubble.
David Sanders is ex-SO crew at Flag. He seems very mixed up. Why is he organizing people to grow vegetables and learn to operate ham radios instead of implementing the REAL solution: LRH tech? What about the Way to Happiness? Volunteer Ministers? These guys seem to be hedging their bets. Perhaps they realize they are not having ANY effect at all on society, so it’s time to bail on plan A and switch over to something more practical.
Who knows what goes on in the heads of these people. It is interesting to watch though. | <urn:uuid:f808246f-770b-4c49-b711-5b4aca28eb72> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.mikerindersblog.org/scientology-preppers/ | 2021-01-17T14:57:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703513062.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20210117143625-20210117173625-00214.warc.gz | en | 0.97275 | 442 |
The declaration of independence by the Catalan Republic recently was witnessed by the world. It demonstrated that the Catalan government, with the support of its people, could gather and call for their secession. The Spanish government however, had a different opinion over the validity of Catalonia’s autonomy and their idea to establish their independence and secede from Spain.
In response to the efforts of Catalonia and its ‘illegal’ call for independence, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy imposed direct rule on Catalonia, under Article 155 of the Spanish constitution. Rajoy sacked Catalan President Carles Puigdemont, fired the government of the rebellious Catalonia region, dissolved the regional parliament and ordered new elections. Catalonia’s strong local police force, the Mossos d’Esquadra, was also taken over by the Spanish Ministry of Interior. The force’s popular and respected chief, Josep Lluís Trapero, was also replaced by a low profile deputy, Ferran López. The tension between the two escalated into the biggest political crisis in decades to hit Spain, which had just emerged from an economic breakdown. Catalonia is a critical part of the economy in Spain, with its economy generating more than one-fifth of Spain’s GDP and foreign investment in Catalonia accounting for more than one-quarter of inward investments to Spain, so this declaration of independence is causing major friction with Spain in its attempt to control Catalonia and any future resistance.
High tensions and sentiments however, were felt on both sides. On Sunday, Oct. 29, around 300,000 anti-independence protesters rallied in the capital of Catalonia, Barcelona, according to Barcelona Police. Catalonia pro-independence activists have been calling for mass demonstrations to “defend the republic.” Many anticipate the separatists to organise strikes, boycotts and more mass rallies in response to Madrid’s actions.The Catalan government said that of the 43 percent of potential voters who took part in the referendum, 90 percent were in favour of independence.
Catalonia was once an independent region of the Iberian Peninsula–modern day Spain and Portugal–with its own language, laws and customs. General Francisco Franco, however, destroyed Catalan separatism with his victory at the Battle of Ebro in 1938 and took control of the region, killing 3,500 people and forcing many more into exile. Catalonia has since struggled to gain independence, with its attempts growing steadily in the 2000s, until the Constitutional Court in Madrid overruled part of the 2006 autonomy statute, stating that there is no legal basis for recognising Catalonia as a nation within Spain.
The Spanish court has ordered for the detention and imprisonment of eight regional ministers from Catalonia’s dissolved government to be detained without bail, as well as the state prosecutor’s Europe-wide arrest warrant for ousted leader Carles Puigdemont. Catalonia’s push for independence from Spain has also caused major backlash and protests from the pro-independence public. Spain’s state prosecutor announced he was seeking arrests under charges of rebellion, sedition and the misuse of public funds on Puigdemont and 13 other ex ministers.

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Presidents from the West African countries hit by the Ebola outbreak are meeting with world health leaders to come up with ways to stop the spread of the deadly disease.
The World Health Organization said Friday it is launching a new joint $100 million response plan to the outbreak that has killed at least 729 people in four countries.
It is the largest recorded outbreak of Ebola in history, and has prompted fears the disease could spread beyond Africa’s borders.
While direct physical contact with bodily fluids is needed for Ebola to spread, new cases are mounting in part because sick people are refusing to go to isolation centers in the affected countries.
The new response plan includes deploying hundreds more health workers to Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.

Sri Lanka's former army chief Sarath Fonseka (pictured), who led the 2009 victory over Tamil Tiger rebels, was convicted by a court martial Friday and stripped of his rank and medals. A separate court is still hearing corruption charges against him.
AFP - A court martial convicted Sri Lanka's former army chief Sarath Fonseka on Friday of dabbling in politics and stripped him of his rank and medals, a senior military source said.
"The guilty verdict was read out to General Fonseka at the court martial a short while ago," the military source told AFP. "The president as commander-in-chief must now ratify the decision."
Fonseka's hearing before the three-member tribunal began five months ago despite protests from his party and human rights groups that the process was seriously flawed. However, he has the right to appeal to a civilian court.
"The court (martial) has ruled that he should be cashiered," the military source said. "So he will be stripped of his rank and all the medals he had earned during his 40-year career."
A separate court martial is still hearing charges that he engaged in corrupt deals. Among other things, Fonseka, 59, is also accused before a civilian court of employing army deserters, an offence that carries a 20-year jail term.
As the battlefield architect of the military victory over Tamil Tiger rebels in May last year, Fonseka had seemingly secured his legacy as the commander who crushed the 37-year insurgency for an independent Tamil homeland.
But it was his bid to translate that success into political power that was to prove his undoing as he took on his former ally, President Mahinda Rajapakse, at the ballot box in elections in January.
The two men fell out soon after the defeat of the Tigers and both sought to take credit for the victory in what became an extremely acrimonious, and at times violent, battle for the presidency.
It was a showdown that Rajapakse eventually won with ease, routing his challenger who, as a relative political novice, was left isolated and vulnerable.
Two weeks after the election, Fonseka was arrested and brought before the first court martial which concluded its sittings Friday at the naval headquarters in Colombo.
Despite being in military custody, he managed to win a seat in parliament in April. He was briefly released for parliament's opening on April 22 and vowed he would use the floor of the House to campaign for freedom and democracy.
Fonseka has also angered the government by saying he would willingly testify before any international war crimes tribunal. Rajapakse has vowed to prevent any such probe.
Fonseka's arrest and detention drew angry protests at the time, but have since fizzled out. His political allies during the presidential election campaign have also split and weakened the country's opposition.
His Democratic National Alliance (DNA) party rejected Friday's guilty verdict and argued that the court martial was illegally constituted.
"Our position was that he could not be charged before a court martial after he retired from the army," DNA lawmaker and party spokesman Anura Kumara Dissanayake said.
"General Fonseka's lawyers were not present when the court martial concluded its work today and some of the witnesses were called at a time when defence lawyers were not present. This is not justice," Dissanayake said.
International rights groups have expressed concern over the general's incarceration and criticised the use of closed-door military courts to try him.
Fonseka has filed several cases in both the appeal court and the supreme court to challenge legality of his arrest.
He has also petitioned the Supreme Court to challenge Rajapakse's re-election, alleging the vote was rigged -- a charge the government denies.
Rajapakse, who has a firm grip on power in Sri Lanka, has been accused by political opponents and international human rights groups of suppressing dissent since his resounding re-election.
The government has also purged the security forces of senior officers thought to have been loyal to Fonseka.

I have a friend I call when things are not as I think they should be. He's my teacher - a spiritual mentor if you will. I call him with questions and fears. I call when I hurt. He always gives me things to think about that put everything in perspective. The things he tells me are things I know but have forgotten or have lost sight of, and they always allay the fears and take away the pain.
The day before yesterday was a pretty rough one for me. We had some things going on that were making me feel heart sick, stomach sick, just plain sick. After thinking these things through all day, and finding no resolution or answer, I thought about calling my friend.
The truth is, I don't call him very often. Usually what happens is I think about calling and as I'm mentally launching the conversation I can hear his response in my head. Like I said, I know these answers, I just lose sight of them. So the conversations in my head go: she says this, he says that, she feels like a dork, dope slaps herself and says thank you. Doing it all in my head first saves me minutes on my calling plan and bruises to the forehead.
So in my head yesterday I poured out my soul.
And in my head, he laughed.
And in my head I said thank you. Because his laugh told me that no one can take what is ours, that we are not responsible for the actions of others, that only what is true and right is what endures. And we can argue all these points down to their lowest common denominator, but I'd rather rise than fall.
I did not, in this case, dope slap myself. And I did not call him.
As it turns out, I would not have had the same conversation with him if I had called. I found out yesterday that he had passed on the day before.
In my head, I'll always hear him laughing. | <urn:uuid:03091d49-63c8-4613-979e-554365980826> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://trouttowers.blogspot.com/2008/02/teaching.html | 2017-06-29T10:51:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323908.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629103036-20170629123036-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.986123 | 407 |
Charles and David Koch, the secretive billionaire brothers behind the Koch Industries, are a huge financial force in the conservative political movement. According to one estimate, they've contributed more than $100 million to conservative political causes, and a foundation that they back has trained thousands of Tea Party activists.
But now reporters for Bloomberg Markets magazine have published an article about what the magazine calls Koch Industries "secret sins" -- including business deals with Iran -- that the reporters claim reflect the same hostility to regulation that powers the Koch brothers' politics.
David H. Koch, 71, and Charles Koch, 75, together own Koch Industries, a Wichita, Kansas-based company started by their father Fred. The privately-held, $100 billion-dollar-a-year company owns such subsidiaries as Georgia Pacific and the maker of Lycra and Stainmaster carpets, but is best-known for its oil and energy business. Koch owns thousands of miles of pipelines and refineries in several states.
In a recent documentary, David Koch can be seen addressing Tea Party leaders and espousing American values, saying, "The American dream of free enterprise, capitalism is alive and well."
But now questions are being raised about the American values of the source of the Koch brothers' wealth.
This week's edition of Bloomberg Markets reveals that one Koch Industries subsidiary was trading with Iran and that another subsidiary in France was paying bribes to get business in six different countries.
In one previously undisclosed document from a French labor court case, Koch Industries admits the payments are "violations of criminal law." A company spokesperson told ABC News that the letter relates only to the conduct of the employee fired in the bribery case and "does not discuss or concern United States law or the company's potential liability."
"It's a document right there in the court record, out of the lips of Koch Industries," said David Evans, one of the co-authors of the Bloomberg Markets article.
David Koch declined to speak when ABC News caught up with him outside his Park Avenue apartment in New York City and asked him to respond to the magazine's allegations.
In a statement posted online, Koch Industries accused Bloomberg Markets magazine of "substandard reporting" and said the company obeys the law.
"Koch Industries and its affiliated companies are committed to compliance," said the statement, "and Koch companies strive to live by their Guiding Principles, including most importantly Principles 1 and 2, which require that all business dealings are conducted lawfully, with integrity, and in compliance with all laws."
Koch Industries says it fired those responsible when it learned of the bribes in 2008, but as a private company it was able to keep all of that secret until this week's article.
"I think there are enough of these payments that I think any prosecutor would want to look further," said John Coffee, a professor at Columbia University Law School and director of the school's Center on Corporate Governance. "The only issue that I think Koch has by way of defense is showing that these payments were never authorized, encouraged or ratified by the parent company, but were only done by the foreign subsidiary."
The trading with Iran involved Koch subsidiaries in Germany and Italy providing key components for a huge state-owned petro-chemical plant, despite a U.S. ban on trade with Iran since 1995.
One order was placed on January 29, 2003, the day after President Bush told Congress in his State of the Union message that Iran continued to be an enemy of the U.S. that "represses its people, pursues weapons of mass destruction and supports terror."
Koch Industries says the trade was legal because it was done through a foreign subsidiary and no Americans were involved.
Said Asjylyn Loder, a co-author of the Bloomberg Markets article, "You're still dealing with a state that is considered by the U.S. State Department to be a sponsor of terrorism." Koch Industries says it finally stopped trading with Iran in 2006. | <urn:uuid:441ed3c6-d014-4ff2-a14a-af297866a213> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/koch-industries-report-reveals-secret-sins/story?id=14676652&singlePage=true | 2017-02-22T14:22:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501170992.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104610-00176-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973045 | 809 |
What is macbeths attitude toward her husband? Use examples to support your opinion
Answers 1Add Yours
If Macbeth is indecisive, Lady Macbeth is just the opposite—a character with such a single vision and drive for advancement that she brings about her own demise. And yet her very ruthlessness brings about another form of ambiguity, for in swearing to help Macbeth realize the Weird Sisters' prophecy, she must cast off her femininity. In a speech at the beginning of Scene 5, she calls on the spirits of the air to take away her womanhood:
Come you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood,
Stop up th'access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
Th'effect and it. (I v 38-45)
Lady Macbeth sees "remorse" as one of the names for feminine compassion—of which she must rid herself. Thus she must be "unsexed." This does not mean, however, that in rejecting her femininity she becomes manly. Instead, she becomes a woman devoid of the sexual characteristics and sentimentality that make her a woman. She becomes entirely unnatural and inhuman. Like the supernatural Weird Sisters with their beards, Lady Macbeth becomes something that does not fit into the natural world.
For example, in Scene Seven, Macbeth tells his wife that he "will proceed no further in this business" (31). But Lady Macbeth taunts him for his fears and ambivalence, telling him he will only be a man when he carries out the murder. She states that she herself would go so far as to take her own nursing baby and dash its brains if necessary. She counsels him to "screw [his] courage to the sticking place" and details the way they will murder the king (60). They will wait until he falls asleep, she says, and thereafter intoxicate his bodyguards with drink. This will allow them to murder Duncan and lay the blame on the two drunken bodyguards. Macbeth is astonished by her cruelty but resigns to follow through with her plans. | <urn:uuid:42230050-d4d2-4348-a613-4d20367eed49> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.gradesaver.com/macbeth/q-and-a/based-on-act-1-237950 | 2017-03-26T02:00:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189090.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00265-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961328 | 481 |
Good quality item...however was very disappointed ...the stride is too short and is nothing more then a stepper ...it also tips....if it weren't for the hassle I would have and should have returned it...a very bad purchase and waste of money...off it went to the Thrift Shop!
If you want to get an excellent aerobic workout at home but have very little space, this machine is great. It takes a little under an hour to put together. It tends to wiggle a bit, but the base is so much smaller than standard, it's worth the trade-off to be able to have a real elliptical in a tiny space. It is also not hard to move to another spot. You will get a great cardio workout--just accept that there's a small compromise in the feel of the machine so that you can work out at home. I am very glad I bought this elliptical.

The motion is a little jerky until you get used to the small stride. This is made for a shorter person with a small stride. I believe a tall person would have great difficulty adjusting to the stride motion. I love it as I can get in my "walks" on rainy days without having a large treadmill. I wish the handles moved.

Veteran Ghanaian actor Kofi Adjorlolo has showed off his musical side with a stunning rendition of Davido’s current chart topper ‘If’.
Kofi Adjorlolo, in an interview with Joy News Becky Darko, just broke into the romantic song for his younger, beautiful partner, Victoria Lebene Mekpah.
The opening lyrics, ‘If I tell you say I love you’ – really says it all.
Adjorlolo and Mekpah’s relationship has been making news since it became public, which most of the conversation centred around the disproportionate age difference.
Neither seem to mind very much, but Counsellor Lutterodt has vowed that marriage would never happen.
With Kofi’s singing skills, though, we think Lutterodt just might be wrong.

Fear, Media and Mayhem in Don DeLillo’s White Noise
Keywords:White Noise, Don DeLillo, fear, media, consumerism
Don DeLillo’s 1985 novel White Noise highlights the impact of the dawning of the information age by exploring the ways heightened media consumption contributes to the fears and paranoia felt by the novel’s middle-class white family, the Gladneys. These internal conflicts prompt them to perpetually reinvent themselves in vain and often humorous attempts to defeat death in a world overrun by technology and (mis)information. In this paper, I utilize the work of American social psychologist James W. Pennebaker as a lens to evaluate how the incessant fear of death and ensuing mayhem developing in the minds and lives of the Gladneys correlates with their ages. Employing Pennebaker’s theories on age and mental development helps shed new light on many of the younger characters in the novel who are often overlooked in the scholarship, which tends to focus on Jack, whose fear of death propels the narrative to its near-murderous ending.

For many employees, it’s difficult to make the move intoif they’ve grown comfortable being part of the front-line workforce. They’re often suddenly faced with giving orders and directing the work of their former co-workers. And that can be an awkward situation when it’s necessary to discipline someone.
But there’s an even darker side to the rank-and-file-to-management switch.
Sometimes a newly minted supervisor takes the opportunity to settle old scores with former co-workers. That can create liability for the employer.
That’s why—before the promotion goes into effect—you must train the candidates on sensitive issues such as harassment and retaliation.
Advice: Perhaps one of the most effective things you can do is tell new supervisors they may be personally liable for any harassment or discrimination that they engage in under New York state anti-discrimination laws.
Recent case: Vanessa Patterson, who is black, worked for Xerox. After she lodged a sexual harassment complaint against a co-worker, the man was disciplined. For several years, all was fine.
Then one of the harasser’s friends was promoted, becoming Patterson’s supervisor. From the moment on, Patterson claimed, he exerted power over her and set about punishing her for the sexual harassment charge she had lodged against his friend.
In addition, Patterson said he made racist comments and disparaged women in general. For example, she said that one of the first things the supervisor told her after his promotion became effective was that she should adopt more of a “slave mentality” and should be seen, but not heard.
He allegedly said he agreed with radio personality Don Imus’ comments that black female basketball players were “nappy-headed hos.” Finally, Patterson said the supervisor made no secret of his desire to see their employer “fire all black people.”
Plus, he told her he was going to “get her” because of her earlier complaint.
Patterson sued both Xerox and the supervisor. He tried to get the personal charges against him dismissed. The court agreed that he could not be personally liable under Title VII for harassment, discrimination or retaliation. But New York state law was another matter. The court refused to dismiss the charges against the supervisor under the New York State Human Rights Law. His personal assets are now at risk. (Patterson v. Xerox Corp. and Peterson, No. 10-CV-6097, WD NY, 2010)

Tim McGraw Plays Perfect Vodka Again (For the First Time)
Tim McGraw at the Cruzan Amphitheatre (now Perfect Vodka) in 2014.
It was a hot, sticky night last July when Tim McGraw took the stage in tight blue jeans, a black wife beater, cowboy hat, and boots at what is now known as the Perfect Vodka Amphitheatre. All seemed to be going according to musical plan — until he started to sing. A muffled speaker that sounded blown out seemed to be the issue, and from puzzled looks on audience members' faces, I wasn't the only one who couldn't understand what he was singing.
Still, McGraw pummeled through with an energy that never faltered. It was almost as though he didn't know the speaker was out. Interestingly, he still provoked whoops and yells from the audience. Partway through, the speaker was fixed, allowing McGraw to persevere and finish strong.
Throughout his career, he has always persevered. Starting off with "Indian Outlaw" in 1994, McGraw has been timeless, making hits for more than 20 years. Effortlessly swimming through the tidal waves of country music, McGraw has managed to touch on different moods while simultaneously maintaining his distinct sound. There was the heart-wrenching "Don't Take the Girl," the flirty "Something on My Lips," and the poignant "Live Like You Were Dying." It's as if McGraw thought of every mood to touch upon and decided to write a hit single about it.
McGraw's hits are catchy yet intelligent fun and, mercifully, without the annoying pickup-truck and beer references.
Tim McGraw, with Billy Currington and Chase Bryant. 7 p.m. Friday, August 21, at Perfect Vodka Amphitheatre. 601-7 Sansbury's Way, West Palm Beach. Tickets cost $35 to $95 via ticketmaster.com. Call 561-795-8883, or visit livenation.com.

Partners call into APC by Schneider Electric with a wide variety of questions. We’re aware that they sell several different brands and types of products, so they might not always know all the details about ours. Below is a list of answers to 5 of the most common questions we get from partners about purchasing APC products.
1. What is the Trade-UPS program and how does it work?
There are two Trade-UPS options; end-user and reseller.
For end users, this allows for a discount to be applied on their purchase for sending back their old UPS. Customers can get a discount on up to 4x the VA capacity of the traded in UPS as well as discounted accessories. For example: A customer can trade in a 1,500VA UPS and get a discount on up to 6,000VA worth of UPS systems (whether that be one 6,000 VA unit or four 1,500VA units) We provide prepaid return shipping labels for the old unit.
For resellers, this allows for a greater discount than the end-user would receive for trading in their customers’ old UPS. The order is placed through APC, but payment and shipping is handled through distribution. The reseller TradeUPS program can only be accessed through a personal partner page, because you must be a certified APC Reseller to take advantage of this program.
2. How can I get a discount?
The only way to receive discounts from APC (other than the occasional special promotion) is via our programs, such as Trade-UPS, Opportunity Registration, Cisco OIP/ORP Incentive Program, and the Small IT Solutions Program. Most of these programs involve working with APC Sales as well as a preferred distributor. Direct discounted pricing isn’t typically available to most resellers. APC is very channel-driven and encourages resellers to purchase through our certified distributors, who may offer bulk discounting, price match, and loyalty programs of their own.
3. How does the Partner Program work? Opportunity Registration Program?
Resellers can gain access to our partner program by signing up to become a partner. Once a profile and log-in have been created, the reseller will become a registered partner. Depending on which type of partner they are qualified as, partners can gain access to the rewards program, marketing funds, and even potential discounts with the Opportunity Registration Program (ORP). This program rewards partners who find and register an opportunity with us. If the project meets the program’s qualifications and is not already known to APC, discounts can be received on the order.
4. What is the status of my order? How can I track the shipment?
My Schneider allows access to view the orders that have been placed directly with APC via a purchase order. We can view the shipping information and gain access to a tracking number on those orders that have already been processed. We cannot typically track orders placed via the reseller Trade-UPS site since most shipping is done through distribution – therefore any tracking information would need to come from the chosen distributor.
5. How can I pay for my order?
Orders can be placed online or over the phone for a standard purchase with credit card. For the Reseller Trade-UPS option, resellers can purchase with credit card or a purchase order via distribution. Direct accounts can place orders directly through APC with a purchase order. Most partners, however, will want to purchase through one of our main distributors: Ingram Micro, Tech Data, Synnex, or D&H. | <urn:uuid:7dddcbae-e2ba-499b-909b-ae8f3978c7e1> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://apcpartnercentral.com/partner/5-popular-questions-apc-purchase-process.html | 2017-11-20T18:57:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806124.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120183849-20171120203849-00062.warc.gz | en | 0.950935 | 737 |

David Lynch, mostly known for his films that lack any sense and challenge the viewer to put the puzzle back together to discover what the movie was actually about. And his debut film Eraserhead is no different. But does it still hold up to this day?
Eraserhead is a movie that doesn’t rely on its plot really, in fact, it barely has a plot. But it gives you just the bare minimum to have some sort of understanding to what is happening. Our main character is Henry Spencer, and he is currently taking time off from work (a holiday as it is put in the movie). His girlfriend called Mary, and they are just after having a child together. But their child isn’t any ordinary child, the child is some sort of deformed, mutant child. We follow Henry as he struggles through this time.
One thing to note about Eraserhead is, it is a very quiet movie. In fact, David Lynch had a lot of trouble getting financial help from the AFI (American Film Institute) because the script for the movie was only twenty pages long. Lynch did end up receiving a grant from the AFI after about three years of production when he eventually ran out of money. Terrence Malick (director/writer) screened Eraserhead for a “potential financial backer” at one point, and he walked out calling the movie, “bullsh*t”. But what the movie does do is, it focuses on sound, imagery and mood instead an deep plot. In lots of scenes in Eraserhead there is very little dialogue between anyone, let alone Henry and Mary (who are the focus points, Henry more so than Mary). Even for the first ten and half minutes of the movie, there is no talking at all.
But what Lynch loves to do in his movies is blur the line between reality and dreams/nightmares. And this is where it all started, at sections of this movie it is near impossible to tell whether or not something happening is real. And it is a recurring theme throughout, if you don’t like confusing movies, you won’t only not like Eraserhead, but you’ll most likely dislike the majority of Lynch’s work (apart from some).
One scene in-particular where you (the viewer) can’t really tell what is reality and what is dream is, when Henry opens up his mutant child and stabs him/her/it. This makes the child grow huge in size, its head becoming bigger and bigger and bigger were it is nearly the same size of Henry’s room.
Which leads to another point which is, many of the dream/nightmare (type of) sequences do not have any sort of narrative. You aren’t sure on how these sequences impact the overall story, or how they will later on in the film. Nothing is explained for you in Eraserhead and that is the way Lynch wants it.
The film is very confusing and has lead to tons of discussions on different internet forums, with people throwing in their own interruption of the movie and hopefully having it somewhat correct. A lot of people think the first section of the movie is suppose to mean how tough parenting a child can be, and how much time and effort goes into it. But in the second half of the film is where people tend to get lost along with the meaning.
But since 1977 when the film first released, not once has Lynch said what the meaning of the film actually is. Only in the 2000 release of the film on DVD, Lynch said that “no one has come close to the true meaning of the film.”
But just because Eraserhead lacks a script and a meaning (until Lynch, if ever, tells us) it doesn’t mean it’s a bad movie. It’s filled with terrific sound design, directing and writing. For its time it also has unbelievable special effects. And Lynch done all these duties himself, which tells you something about how great he is.
I have seen tons of horror movies, I have seen tons of torture porn movies and most of all, I have just seen a lot of messed up stuff in movies. But Eraserhead is one of the few that really made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Everything about it is creepy, and even a bit scary at times. From Henry’s mutant baby to his horrid nightmares, it really got me on edge for the majority of the movie.
*Should you watch this? If you haven’t seen Eraserhead yet and find it somewhat interesting, then yes, it a must see. If you like David Lynch’s previous work and think you could like this, then yes it is at least a watch. If you don’t like confusing, very weird and David Lynch type of movies then no, you are better not wasting your time on it. I’ve seen a lot of people just think it is a bunch of random shots strung together with a very basic plot and they think it was an utter waste of time (which is fine, mind you). So, find out what group you are in and then choose to watch or not!
*Does it hold up to this day?
Yes, Eraserhead does indeed hold up to this day and still remains as one of the most disturbing, weird movies ever made. And there has been a lot since 1977 too, which says something.
*If I liked this, what other movies from the director would I possibly like?
Lynch has a lot of messed up, confusing films that are all great. Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Inland Empire and Mullholland Drive are all great movies that you could possibly enjoy. Lynch also done a short called Rabbits too which clocks in around 40 minutes long and too is very confusing, and still has that Lynch feel with the short runtime.

Tonight I am sharing a story of spiritual quest with you.
I´ve started an new painting. This one is the first of three. They are all inspired by a trip I made on my fortieth birthday. As a personal gift for my self, I took a spiritual trip/medicin walk to my favorite forest. In my druid homework, I am working with the element of water, so I made this trip a tribute of that element and all of its aspects.
I visited three different lakes. This was my second. It is called Store Økssø. I walked all around it, and made the walk a "medicin walk": paying attention to every detail, observing feelings, thoughts and emotions along the way, communicating with the lake and documenting it in my journal. It was very fascinating to see the different spiritual aspects of those lakes. I will share more of it as I paint the other two paintings.
The water is very brown, but very clean. The reason it is brown, is due to a high content of humic acids. It is impossible for light to penetrate into the deeper layers of the lake, so it is poor on both phytoplankton and higher aquatic plants.
I bathed in it this summer, and I love it! The lake bottom is just rocks and sand.
This lake had a "mothering" feeling to it. It spoke to me in a way that I had never experienced. The season made the weather a bit cloudy, but it was still nice and warm. I had a picture in my mind of a mothering energy belonging to and protecting the lake. A strong wise woman, a deity of both life and death. I felt the connection and love for her. I saw her standing with a dead bird in her hand. She was the caretaker of all the living things around that lake. She offered me a blueberry, and I felt how it strenghtened me. Just that one very tiny blueberry. The very last one. I couldn´t find any other.
Her symbols was circles and fish. Her energy moving in circular ways.
I felt the sensation of a deep silence. She wanted to teach me about that silence, and about taking it more easy, being in the now. I also felt a great love and fellowship with all the pines around the lake. (No, I did not take any halucinative drugs haha)
Walking in silence, a line from a song from the nineties "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode kept playing in my mind. On a medicin walk, every detail is important, so the lyrics from that song was also included in my spiritual quest. The line was just "Reach Out and Touch Faith". Over and over. The same thing happened on my visit to the other water elements that day with different songs. Did you know that I wake up every morning with a nnew song playing in my head? Coming out of the blue? Sometimes it is meaningful and shares a message. Other times it´s just disruptive noise haha
So, all this is coming to life in my painting. Tomorrow is work and school, so I don´t think I will get to paint and share, but Tuesday perhaps.
Until then, take care.
Some pictures of the lake that I found on the net:
November 04, 2014
Painting finished! I call this one "Away". I always wanted to have my own airballoon! I would just let go of those bags of sand, and go higher and higher... Up and away! I always dreamt of seeing the world from high up above....
The painting is 60cmx30cm (23"x11") Painted with acrylics.
NB: I think I need to adjust that airballoon highlight.....?? And there should be a person in that balloon, right? Hmmmmmm........
Good evening! I´m finishing this painting very soon. I´m in the process of painting the trees, and this is my favorite part. The tree at the left is only just started. I think I will need something to hang from the trees, or something flying away up in the sky. An air baloon perhaps? A raven?

Mobile phone services were also blocked in the Capital to prevent any untoward incident in the rally. Pakistani army deployed troops on the streets of the capital Sunday after thousands of protesters converged outside the parliament.
Mumtaz Qadri was executed on February 29 for killing a Punjab governor over his call for blasphemy reform.
According to AFP, an estimated 25,000 supporters of the former police bodyguard gathered in Islamabad’s twin city Rawalpindi in the afternoon to offer prayers, before turning toward the heavily-barricaded capital, which was patrolled by hundreds of police and paramilitary soldiers.
Riot police carrying batons and shields fired tear gas to try to prevent them pushing closer to the city centre. Some protesters set fire to a container while chanting slogans.
DG ISPR Major General Asim Salim Bajwa tweeted late Sunday that the army had been requisitioned to “control” the situation and secure the Red Zone around Parliament, where protesters were gathering.
The protest had been largely ignored by the Pakistani media, which has increasingly become subject to government-ordered news blackouts designed to prevent unrest from spiralling out of control. | <urn:uuid:ff02bd69-0560-4deb-8d7c-d82991779561> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://arynews.tv/en/protesters-continue-sit-in-parliament-building/ | 2017-05-22T21:38:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607120.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20170522211031-20170522231031-00333.warc.gz | en | 0.962353 | 241 |
Thinking ahead to next year and an early crop – I sowed broad beans – which have now mostly germinated. I will soon plant out and cloche them to help protect against the worst of winter – who knows, they may even survive. Ever looking forward.
I think it was last year that I sowed broad beans in autumn, but I overwintered them in the greenhouse to be planted out in spring. Unfortunately, it was a cold, wet spring so they languished in the greenhouse too long and grew leggy, but they rallied once they were eventually planted out. I think the best bet is getting them sown early like you've done and then planting them out before winter sets in. Fingers crossed they do well for you.
Fingers crossed. I don't grow overwinter ones as the site is exposed so suffers from frost and wind. A plot neighbour who does reckons he loses up to a third even in a good winter. Flighty xx
I do hope they do well, I have lots that have self-seeded in the veggie patch, I've let them be. They did the same last year and I got a lovely harvest from them.xxx
Exciting times Elaine and the promise of a treat come early summer. I have seen some sturdy looking specimens planted by one of my plot neighbours. Fingers crossed that his and yours fare well.
It keeps us cheery over the cold months to dream of next year and all of the plans we have!Jane xx
My broad beans used to suffer terribly from black fly and other nasties, so I've given up. I now buy them at market, but there's a guilty feeling of failure about it.
I hope that they do well for you.
Your mild island climate may yield you a great early crop.Here they would be covered by a metre of snow including the cloche by December's end...As I'm shovelling a path through the drifts for my little doggie come January I'll remember these charming little shoots, hoping they have survived the coolness of the season...Susan
I hope that they do well for you, it is lovely to grow your own things isn't it. xx
I love to sow seeds at this time of the year, as it is such an optimistic thing to do, and it is that expected promise of the return of the sun ! I am sowing sweet peas at the moment !

Russell Baze shows his winning form in riding Bold Chieftain to victory in the 2010 Sunshine Millions Classic.
If you laid all of jockey Russell Baze's races end-to-end, they'd go around the world almost twice.
And on Friday, North America's busiest rider ever rode his 50,000th race, finishing third aboard the 6-year-old mare Finish Rich in Nyc at Golden Gate Fields.
It was Baze's sixth mount of the day at the Northern California track; he had started with three straight wins to give him 11,839 for his career, also the most ever in North America.

BA (Hons) Costume and Performance Design graduates have been talking to AUB after their London summer shows. Here Claire Mashford discusses her work
Can you tell me about your work?
I made two costumes for Oh What A Lovely War. They were classically tailored so I used Savile Row techniques. I worked with a designer, Alice, and that was really good because as well as it being a theatrical piece, I was able to do military research as well. And another cool twist was the fact they were both actually worn by women.
How have you found your time at AUB?
I absolutely loved it. The course is amazing – we have amazing tutors. Because I was doing tailoring, I had one specific tutor I worked with the most and she was really good. She didn’t have designated time to us, but she helped me personally.
What are you doing now?
I’m moving back home and I’m going to be a dresser for a little while at Theatre Royal Plymouth and hopefully do some work at their space in TR2 where they have set building and costume making, and hopefully some freelance work in between.

A wasteland of inspiration.
If you’re looking for one, cast your eyes this way.
Wrung dry of stories, barren of pen and want-of-pen, I sit and rot and wait for this depressive jag to end.
Stand up and fight, you say? I try and try and try but the Fates keep slapping me back down… and, now, I’m tired and needing of rest or something.
So, pardon this lax posting while I battle the rot. | <urn:uuid:edfef5b9-4c0b-431b-b705-9531764a7c86> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://thewordsandmadnessofchloestowe.wordpress.com/2019/06/09/this-way/ | 2023-02-02T15:59:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500028.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20230202133541-20230202163541-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.866238 | 113 |

Fresh newspapers - in each house
the Social importance of a subscription and delivery of newspapers and magazines cannot be overestimated. It is especially important for the remote villages where the press is one of the basic sources of the information on events in the country and in the world. the director of management « Mails of Russia » across Altay territory Evgenie Bedarev is assured that an appreciation of a commission of experts of XIII competition « the Best Altay goods of 2010 » and VIII competition « the Best service of 2010 » responsible and laborious work of postmen will induce collective to new results and achievements.
Distance not a barrier!
– Today Management « Mails of Russia » across Altay territory carries out important function of the state value – Connects together huge spaces of city and rural territories of region, – director UFPS of Altay territory speaks. – I want to notice that from the second half of the year 2008 the price for a subscription remains immutable. Publishers reserve the right to itself to raise the quotations, and FGUP « Mail of Russia » cost of the service leaves at former level. I think that our constant subscribers have paid to this attention and have estimated our work. By the way, a competition commission of experts « the Best service of 2010 » the conclusion did, considering, including, and responses of consumers. It has been considered more than 200 references from physical persons and the organisations which subscribe in our post offices. Clients especially marked timeliness and convenience of rendered service, and inhabitants of villages wrote about diligent work of the postmen working on their sites.

At this time simultaneously in all territory of the country within ten days you can subscribe to favourite newspapers, magazines and the specialised literature. And every year the quantity of the publishing houses which are taking part in this action, increases. By the way, during this period publishers aspire to give a discount for the production, therefore to subscribe begins favourably. also by post offices are regularly spent « Days of the subscriber » – discounts are given to all clients, and editions of newspapers organise draws of gifts for the subscribers.
– Timeliness of registration of a subscription gives a guarantee of that newspapers and magazines to which you have got used, and next half-year the postman will regularly bring to your address, – the head of department of distribution of press UFPS of Altay territory Larissa Hmurovich speaks . – Specificity of work of our postmen that during the short period of carrying out of decade of a subscription they need to bypass all addresses. And here rural postmen not simply know by sight all living on their site, but also well remember, who has got used to write out what edition, than is fond also what printing novelty to it to offer.
It is necessary to notice that « the Subscription and periodicals delivery » not unique service of Management « Mails of Russia » across Altay territory which is awarded awards of traditional regional competition « the Best service of year ». In different years of UFPS AK diplomas of 1 degree for services were handed over: « Reception and payment the accelerated transfers » direct post mailing « Direkt – a mail » the project « Cybermails ».

Back in the 1960s, NASA literally wrote the book on how to make it to the moon and back — and then proved the concept by handing it to the Apollo 11 crew and telling them to keep it handy after blastoff.
Now that guide — the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Timeline Book — is going up for auction at Christie’s, giving would-be astronauts the chance to pay dearly for the only step-by-step instruction guide that can let them channel their inner Neil Armstrong.
Made as a sort of itinerary guide to help remind the Apollo 11 astronauts what step came next in mankind’s history-changing maiden moon voyage, the manual originally “sat precisely between Commander Neil Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot ‘Buzz’ Aldrin as they made the historic landing on the Moon on 20 July 1969,” according to auction house Christie’s.
Part functional document and part space artifact, the well-used guidebook even includes hand-scribbled notes made by the astronauts themselves during critical stages of the journey: Within “moments" of Armstrong setting foot on the lunar surface, “Aldrin had written Eagle’s coordinates in the Sea of Tranquility on page 10 of the book — the first writing by a human being on a celestial body other than Earth,” Christie’s observes.
There’s a chronological story-like quality to the manual’s step-by-step instructions, making it even more valuable as an authentic account of how history’s first manned moon landing unfolded. The guide “narrates the entire Eagle voyage from inspection, undocking, lunar surface descent and ascent, to the rendezvous with Michael Collins aboard the Command Module in lunar orbit,” according to the auction house.
We’re guessing the bidding on such a significant piece of space history could reach truly stratospheric levels, but if you want to take a crack at investing in the definitive how-to guidebook (at least so far) for manned lunar travel — or simply peruse the many images of what it contains, rocket on over to the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Timeline Book page at Christie’s. | <urn:uuid:1dd1b42d-f2a3-42ed-bb18-e5e7cb711dde> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/nasa-manual-apollo-11-at-auction | 2020-07-12T13:09:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657138718.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712113546-20200712143546-00312.warc.gz | en | 0.900468 | 451 |

Human upper respiratory mucosa contains abundant IgD-producing B cells that release IgD into nasal, lachrymal, salivary, mammary and bronchial secretions. Numerous clinical and immunological observations of IgD in the past 50 years strongly suggest that IgD has important functions in respiratory mucosal immune defense. The broad, long-term objectives of this project are to elucidate the regulation of IgD production as well as the mechanism and function of IgD in respiratory immunity in order to develop vaccines that harness the functions of IgD to combat respiratory infections and therapies to treat immunopathologies associated with IgD hyperproduction. This study hypothesizes that B cells from upper respiratory mucosa undergo IgD production and diversification controlled by vitamin D3 and that IgD produced reacts against respiratory pathogens and contributes to mucosal immunity by activating local and systemic innate immune cells such as basophils and mast cells through interaction with heparin, eosinophil cationic protein and inflammasomes.
Three aims are proposed.
Aim 1 : To elucidate the regulation of IgD class switching and production in the respiratory mucosa.
Aim 2 : To determine the reactivity, clonal diversity, evolution and protective function of mucosal IgD.
Aim 3 : To dissect the mechanisms by which IgD activates mucosal and systemic immune responses. This study will take advantage of cells and tissues from healthy donors and patients with hyper-lgD syndrome, an autoinflammatory periodic fever syndrome, as a disease model. The regulation of IgD production by vitamin D3 and the mechanism by which IgD triggers immune activation will be investigated by biochemical, molecular and cellular biology techniques. The reactivity and protective functions of mucosal and systemic IgD responses upon respiratory pathogen exposure and after vaccination will by studied by single B cell sorting, cloning and expression, high-throughput next-generation sequencing and in vitro cell culture-based methods.
This project will establish clinically relevant information on IgD responses after vaccination and lead to the isolation of protective IgD clones that may be used clinically to combat respiratory infections. It will also support the use of vitamin D modifying regimens in treating immunopathologies and establish that more effective vaccination strategies against respiratory pathogens should actively boost IgD responses.

I may have found my new favourite place.
I’m in love! I can’t stop raving about this wonderful restaurant that is Dirty Bones. Luckily for me it’s only a few doors down from my office in Kensington Church Street.
I have stopped by Dirty Bones before and was blown away by their Dirty Fries but this visit was something else because of three words: Mac Daddy Burger. But I’ll get to that.
Entering the little doorway and heading down the red stairs, this place just oozes cool (even the bathrooms are totally stylish!) and at 6.30pm on a Tuesday night it was absolutely buzzing. The basement cocktail bar and restaurant is dimly lit with a ‘dive bar’ style too it. I felt like I had suddenly transported to Shoreditch, Dirty Bones is shabby but chic. Finally Kensington has a little touch of East London in it and I think it’s just what Kensington Church Street needed.
We started the evening off with cocktails of course and between 5-7pm it’s happy hour. This definitely means that I will be back for office drinks and from now on, whoever I meet after work, I’m taking you here! Forget Nandos or Starbucks – Dirty Bones is the one.
I went for the Pre Dog cocktail – Lexy – which I don’t think was in the Happy Hour deal as I only got one cocktail unlike Karl who received two. Major drink envy.
We were lucky enough to visit just after the launch of their new menu which is incredible.
Although unusual I chose the lime and chilli popcorn to
start at a very affordable £2. I’m loving this flavoured popcorn trend at the moment and this was different to anything I had tried before and the perfect snack to start the meal with. Karl and I shared these with Charred Padron Peppers which I could not get enough of.
It’s great to find a healthy snack which is so moreish – I really need to make
these at home!
I had been looking at the menu for a few days before
our visit and drooling over the description of the Mac Daddy burger. I’m not a huge
burger fan but every now and then I have this burger craving but I always seem
to be disappointed with what I order. This however was not the case. I
think the Mac Daddy is the best burger I have ever tasted and I will be going
back for that juicy patty and Pulled Beef Short Rib – so delish. I’m a huge Mac N Cheese
fan so anything covered in it is a must have for me. Therefore I was delighted
when Karl ordered the pulled pork Mac N Cheese. A cute dinky bowl but incredibly filling, we were stuffed.
For my side I ordered the Dirty Fries. I have been singing their praises to Karl and thankfully they lived up to expectations and were as delicious as ever, possibly even tastier. The Dirty Fries are tripled cooked fries smothered in chilli cheese sauce, Dirty Bones BBQ sauce and Cactus salsa – even the description is enough to make your mouth water!
I’m a peanut butter fanatic. If my friends and family spot some new chocolate or sweet which is peanut butter flavoured they’ll get it and if there is something with peanut butter in it on the menu, I can promise you I’ll order it. My eyes lit up when I saw Dirty Bones has a Peanut Butter Cookie Cup dessert (pictured below).
It was beautiful. It was perfect, the ice cream had a gorgeous nutty taste without being too overpowering and it paired so well with the chocolate cookie topping.
Although the restaurant’s doorway may seem pretty bright and inviting (don’t get me wrong, it really is) it can be easily missed which makes Dirty Bones such a hidden gem. I actually walked past it a few times before I realised it was there.
I’ve already made plans to bring three different groups of friends to show off my new ‘local’. I don’t think I can say it enough but go go go go!

(From the publisher):
A Plan Gone Perfectly Awry...
A duel has left Lucian, fourth Earl of Wandersee, with a wounded arm and a sudden distaste for London society. Traveling in secret to the country, he is laid low by a raging fever — and he finds himself recuperating in a country cottage in the care of Bianca Dunsworthy, the loveliest and most outspoken young woman he has ever met. He sees at once that she is trying to pair him with her shy sister, Rosie — and delights in turning the tables.
Bianca will have none of it. As for the shivers that ripple through her whenever Lucian touches her hand... perhaps his fever is catching. Bianca has no time for romance until she fulfills a secret promise in honor of her brother. But she has never reckoned on Lucian’s singular determination... or on the passion of her own heart.
