Here's a few laps taking you around Kingston MX, located outside of Kingston, MN.
All you do is press a button!
Now I personally haven't had anyone tell me this(there's a first time for everything right!), but it is a common misconception that all a photographers job involves is pressing a button. Our time cant be worth anything right?
Pressing the shutter button is probably about 5% of what our job consists of. Take a quote I read recently, I thought was pretty witty "you want to take better pictures? Stand in front of better things". Take that advice and stand in front of dirt bikes going over jumps, bumps and turns and the pressing of the button gets exponentially harder.
Today was a perfect day for some riding at Kingston MX. The owner of the track Rick Riehm, put on a Saturday practice for all who wanted to ride. The track was about as mint as they come. Had a great time riding and taking photos!
Make sure to check back for More images and a GoPro video from Kingston MX! | 2019-04-23T22:15:44 | http://www.hardlinemx.com/hardline/?currentPage=173 |

Trying to take the credit for Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard, who had been at the club since they were eight. Can you believe it? I can't.
When a movie is being rolled out, the studio publicists and all our individual publicists get together and come up with bullet points and talking points - 'Make sure you stay away from this,' and 'Don't say that quite that way, because that quote can be taken out of context,' and that kind of thing.
Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God.
I come from the working-class area of Stockholm, and I grew up with Serbian and Chilean people.
The guy who says, 'I love the challenge of managing,' is one step from being out of a job.
First of all, I'm not the kind of guy that likes to rehash the show and so forth and so on.
I remember feeling enormous pressure because I didn't want to be Shirley Temple. Shirley Temple was Shirley Temple, and I didn't ever feel like I could live up to that. | 2019-04-18T19:22:13 | https://citatis.com/a1205/152f4/ |
Here's your opportunity to get free advice from a painting professional!
I've been asked if I think Behr's primer/paint combo saves any steps.
Not really, and it may end up costing you more if you end up doing two coats with it.
I don't think anybody makes a white paint that will cover a dark color in one coat or a red paint that will cover much of anything in one coat, unless it is sprayed on. Behr is no exception to that. But what if you buy this expensive primer/paint combo and end up doing two coats with it? It would have been cheaper to use a cheap primer tinted to your final color followed by a good quality paint. It will cover just as well for less money.
Howabout a light color on another light color? Experience tells me if Behr's primer/paint combo will cover in one coat then any other paint of equal or greater value will too so what's the point?
To me it all smacks too much of a marketing gimmick.
That said, the real question is why buy Behr paint from Home Depot when you can get better service and advice at a paint store like Sherwin Williams, Columbia, or Perfection Letz? I know, I used to work at Home Depot, including the paint department at times. At least at Sherwin Williams, for example, if you stump the Customer Service Rep there will be a manager there who can answer your question. At the Kennwick Home Depot, now that I'm not working in kitchen design, who are they going to turn to for real world painting experience? Their management doesn't have any more product knowledge than their CSR's, quite often a lot less, and quite often they don't have enough product to paint a whole house. | 2019-04-26T04:21:46 | http://kirbyworksco.weebly.com/blog/first-post |
Keep up to date with the FCO travel advice as travel to some parts of Kosovo may be inadvisable and, note, that to travel against the advice of a government agency will often affect travel insurance.
If renting in winter months (typically 15th November to 15th March) your hire car should be equipped with winter tyres. Although charges for winter tyres are often built into the hire rate shown, it is worth checking as it isn't universal.
It's quite easy to find car rental packages that include the first additional driver for free which can be a major saving.
Car hire excess charges can be high in Kosovo. We've seen an excess of €2875 on a small family car. The excess can be easily covered with a policy from our car hire excess insurance comparison service, though you may wish to look at policies covering excesses of £3,000 or more to be sure to cover the excess.
If you want to hire a car in Kosovo and take it out of the country, you will have to shop around. Cross border travel is often allowed with additional charges for insurance but there isn't great consistency over which countries you are allowed to visit and which are prohibited. This does at least mean you can probably find what you need.
For example, Hertz allow travel into Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece and Slovenia but you can't travel to Serbia. | 2019-04-25T05:54:42 | https://www.moneymaxim.co.uk/car-hire/kosovo/ |
We build your building three times before we ever break ground to save you time, money and hassle.
Pinkard utilizes building information modeling (BIM) to build a project virtually during preconstruction as a predictable, consistent and reliable planning tool for the benefit of the owner, architect and construction crews.
We utilize Autodesk Revit Architectural Design software as our platform for BIM. In addition to the use of Revit, Pinkard also utilizes Autodesk Navisworks software to manage the model for construction use.
With Autodesk software, we model site logistics, perform job hazard analysis, analyze a design for constructability and cross-discipline coordination, develop virtual mock-ups, graphically represent phasing of occupied facilities, model self-performance concrete lift drawings and apply time and cost attributes to scheduling and estimates.
Revit allows us to create a building model from scratch or utilize a model that is provided to us by the design team. Once we have a completed model we organize the information and create a construction model. The construction model allows us to see and develop a project virtually, so design and constructability issues are solved well in advance of operations in the field.
By creating and dividing the model elements into parts, we perform material take-offs with trusted quantities that allow for better-informed decisions and “what if” analysis. These model elements are also organized into construction views and exported into Navisworks for clash detection and activity scheduling. This allows for real time coordination and visualization of phasing and logistics. | 2019-04-21T20:46:37 | http://pinkardcc.com/building-information-modeling |
To get help finding a drug rehab in Dale, just call us today at our toll-free helpline.
Recovery from drug and alcohol addiction can be truly difficult, especially if you try to do it without the assistance of a professional. All the same, it all starts with the first steps.
Often, substance abuse occurs simultaneously with emotional issues or trauma. To be truly effective, substance abuse recovery calls for major changes in style of living and outlook. Drug or alcohol abuse is a debilitating problem that transforms the mind and the body. Therefore, our specialists must deal with both elements of the situation.
There are 30 day long programs, but the majority of them last considerably longer. 6 or 7 month alcohol and drug rehab programs tend to have the best track record for success. Drug and/or alcohol dependency rehabilitation is often thought of as a 30-day long treatment. Some rehabs are for five to six months.
Mastering the best guidelines, life practices, and skills like inter-personal relationship skills, how to manage tension and stress in a wholesome way, and how to establish healthy boundaries with family and friends, will tremendously improve the likelihood of sustained rehabilitation with minimal relapses.
Our experts will instruct you in these (plus more) very practical skills so we can offer the best prospects for a successful recovery.
To handle the issues you face, we'll be here equipping you with the most effective action steps and methods during your rehabilitation period. Take a necessary phase giving us a call today. We can offer you a real path to recovery. We would love to discuss your personal needs and create a plan for your recovery. Our experts address drug or alcohol abuse providing the most cutting-edge alcohol and/or drug dependency rehab programs.
What's commonly very important to have an enduring recovery is to assist their patients to thoroughly transform their life. This is why more all-encompassing drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitation facilities promote change on a deeper level. We certainly recommend you to seize the opportunity if you are able to go to a longer term alcohol and/or drug rehabilitation, since there are many that can't since they just are not in a position to do so. What's frequently found in enduring drugs and alcohol rehabs are: rehabilitation at the facility, continued recovery at home, rehab at home, and detoxifying thoroughly with clinical supervision. The evidence demonstrates that comprehensive treatment programs work the best. | 2019-04-22T00:40:31 | https://caredrugrehabilitation.com/indiana/dale.php |
PUMA kicks off 2017 with the launch of the IGNITE Limitless, the perfect crossover between fashion and performance. With a sleek modern upper design combined with a base that features performance-based technology, the IGNITE Limitless is breaching into the crossover territory that PUMA began entering this past year with the launch of the IGNITE evoKNIT. There are two styles of the IGNITE Limitless: the Reptile with leather hints, as well as the Core with a predominantly neoprene upper.
The upper on the IGNITE Limitless Reptile consists of four main components: the luxury reptile-embossed leather, a branded forefoot strap, a clam-shell construction of stretchy Ariaprene, and the mid-foot cage made of Kurim. The reptile-embossed leather covers the entire toe-box, as well as along the rear heel clip, that allows the shoes to have a stylish streetwear-vibe.
The IGNITE Limitless provides premium cushioning with the full-length IGNITE foam embedded in the moulded EVA midsole. Not only does this provide the comfort that is vital in today’s footwear, it still provides enough responsiveness as well as remaining lightweight. The IGNITE Limitless is finished with a gum-coloured crystal rubber outsole pods which provides full traction, as well as great aesthetics.
The PUMA IGNITE Limitless Reptile is available now at PUMA Lab powered by Foot Locker locations, PUMA.ca, FootLocker.ca, as well as select retailers, in three colourways: Burnt Olive, Whisper White, and PUMA Black.
Thank you again to the good folks over at PUMA. Be sure to go pick up your pair now! | 2019-04-19T06:57:10 | https://thebragaffair.com/2017/02/23/puma-ignite-limitless/ |

I'm trying to research my husband's grandfather, William A. Heady (born 1876 in Indiana; died April 1917 in Oklahoma). He was the son of John F. Heady (born about 1845 in Kentucky; died 1880-1900) and Amanda M. Blair (born February 1846 in Kentucky; died 11 January 1913 in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana), who were married 8 October 1865 in Vigo County.
John F. and Amanda Heady were in the 1880 census in Linton Township, Vigo County. Amanda is a widow in the 1900 census, living in Terre Haute in the household of a son-in-law.
William A. Heady married Mary B. Leach on 26 February 1898 in Vigo County. Family history says they had a son (name unknown). He was working in Oklahoma by 1903, and he was married in 1905 near Elk City, Oklahoma to Georgia Hanger and they had a daughter, Bernice (born 1915). William was killed in a fire in 1917, but his wife and daughter survived. We know little of the Indiana part of our family history. Thank you for any information you can give us.

Bulletproof black man flips the script in Harlem.
So, we watched the entirety of the new Netflix series Luke Cage. Our love of blaxploitation films made it mandatory. Of course, Luke Cage isn't blaxploitation—it's serious black-oriented drama. But anyway we queued it up. For those who don't know, the series is based on a Marvel Comics character who was a bulletproof, super strong black man who lived in Harlem. The show does away with the comic book Cage's bright yellow costume, but leaves the Harlem setting, political machinations, and dealings of crime kingpins that intertwine as normal people try to get on with their lives.
Most members of the sizable cast are black except for several supporting roles, and the occasional one-off—i.e., a technician here, an office worker there. The series is basically an exact negative of about 10,000 television shows over the years that cast blacks in supporting roles. A vocal percentage of the public is not dealing well with it. Some call the show racist. It made us think of the famous unattributed quote: “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” These racially sensitive critics watched How I Met Your Mother, Arrested Development, True Detective and scores of other lily white television shows in droves, but the existence of a single show like Luke Cage is threatening.
But let's put all that aside for the moment. Is the show any good? There are some of the same failings as other action-oriented series, but on the whole it's entertaining. Just be forewarned—it's akin to The Wire more than any superhero extravaganza. The characters are deeply explored. Serious comic book action fans will be disappointed. And second, the complete immersion into an African American culture will be unfamiliar to many viewers. In the end, you simply have to have an interest in the premise and the characters to enjoy the show. For us, the immersion into a nearly 100% black Harlem is one of the show's strengths. For others, not seeing characters that remind them of themselves will be alienating. And that's absolutely acceptable in terms of deciding how to spend one's hard earned free time selecting television shows. Such people should say they aren't interested in the premise. They shouldn't make phony claims that the show is racist.
We think American broadcast media need more shows that reflect reality. Here's the reality—the U.S. is both diverse and extraordinarily segregated. 75% of white Americans have zero black friends, while around 60% of blacks have zero white friends. 100% white environments and white points of view have been shown on television for decades. Luke Cage airs a black point of view, with complex relationships, romantic entanglements, ambitions, dreams, and dealings with harsh realities. There should be room for that, particularly considering television history. On a completely different note, we really are looking forward, twenty or thirty years from now, to a scholarly examination of all these damned superhero shows and movies. There's a real pathology here.
Revered French illustrator Jean Giraud dies.
Sad news just off the wire—unique, prolific, and influential French illustrator Jean Giraud has died aged 73 after a long battle with cancer. Giraud broke onto the art scene in 1965, won his first awards by 1973, and by 1975 had adopted the pseudonym Moebius and developed into a graphic arts master. He worked in the comics medium quite a bit as both a writer and artist, and in addition to nine Marvel/Epic graphic novels, and work on longrunning Marvel characters like the Silver Surfer, was also a regular in the pages of the seminal French sci-fi magazine Métal Hurlant—known in the U.S. as Heavy Metal. Aside from all that, he also worked extensively in motion picture production design, and his efforts helped shape films such as Alien, Willow, Tron and The Fifth Element. It’s been a rough week for the art world—Ralph McQuarrie died less than a week ago. We’ve gathered up a few Giraud/Moebius pieces below so those who don’t know this master can get a sense of his singular style.
One man against a galactic empire—so screw you Luke Skywalker.
So many comic book characters have tangled ancestry. Star-Lord aka Peter Quill is yet another example. Under the direction of two creative teams that each had different ideas of what he should be, Peter was first a human orphan, then a man who thought he was human only to find he was the spawn of fantastic beings from a distant planet. Later it turns out being Star-Lord is a sort of rotating honor, like hosting Saturday Night Live, except with the power to fly away when the laughs don’t come. Not to be confused with the entirely distinct Starlord published by British imprint IPC in 1978, Star-Lord debuted on Marvel in 1976. | 2019-04-21T22:38:29 | http://pulpinternational.com/pulp/keyword/Marvel+Comics.html |

America is in the midst of a new revolution. But this revolution is quiet, incremental, nonviolent, and traveling beneath the mainstream media's radar.
The new American revolution challenges the current notions of dog-eat-dog capitalism—through the building of a parallel economic system that shares, cooperates, empowers, and benefits fellow workers and community members.
Over the past few decades, thousands of alternatives to the standard, top-down corporate model have sprouted up—worker-owned companies and cooperatives, neighborhood corporations and trusts, community-owned technology centers and municipally owned enterprises.
In fact, today, involvement in these alternative models of business outnumber union membership as the means by which private-sector workers and community members are taking economics into their own hands.
Maria Armoudian interviews author and University of Maryland political scientist Gar Alperovitz, author of America Beyond Capitalism.
Maria Armoudian: How big is this economic movement in the United States?
Gar Alperovitz: It's a huge development. But the president doesn't cover it, and the press, on the surface, is not aware of it. At the grassroots level, there is a lot of activity that is changing the ownership of wealth and making it benefit neighborhoods, workers, cities and communities, at large. There are 11,000 worker-owned companies in the United States, and more people involved in them than are members of unions in the private sector.
There are also 120 million Americans who are members of cooperatives—a huge number, about a third of the population. About 20 percent or 22 percent of our energy is done under public utilities of one kind or another. There are another 4,000 or 5,000 neighborhood corporations, in which neighborhoods own productive wealth to benefit the neighborhood. Much of that is related to housing and land development, but also stores, businesses and factories. One estimate is that there are 4,500 of these. One, called Newark New Communities, does several million dollars a year in business and pours profits back into helping service the neighborhood—health care and nutrition, education and jobs.
So when you really begin to take the lid off of what is emerging in society, there are many forms of decentralized public ownership, social ownership or democratized wealth.
MA: Are there also new developments on the municipal level?
GA: Yes, because of fiscal crises, many cities, even under Republican mayors, are putting cities into enterprises. It was once called municipal socialism, but Republicans call it the "enterprising city," and it includes development of [municipally owned] cable television, Internet services, land and hotels. Many cities are capturing methane from garbage areas and using it to produce electricity, create jobs and make money. They're dealing with greenhouse gases as an enterprise.
On a larger, regional scale, the Tennessee Valley Authority is a gigantic, ecological operation that controls the river systems and is an energy system. On the state level, Alaska derives a great deal of money from its energy resources, oil. It captures the profits and pays dividends to every Alaskan as a right. In the year 2000, every person in Alaska, as a legal right, received $2,000 [through this process]. So a family of five [together receive] $10,000.
MA: Worker-owned cooperative seem to be the most progressive and democratic models. They're usually nonprofit with profit circulating back to workers and communities, and they practice democracy in the workplace—one person, one vote. How would you compare this model with other models?
GA: The one-person-one-vote worker cooperatives in the United States are the most democratic, advanced and ideal. But they number at about 500 maximum, maybe 1,000. These co-ops are on the cutting edge of the democratization process and where the learning will be taking place for the rest of the movements. People are experimenting with full democracy and full equality.
Of course, many co-ops are not that kind—they don't have equal pay and have other differentials. And most of the [for-profit] worker-owned companies in the United States are employee stock-ownership plans, or ESOPs. In many cases, they are not democratic, and have a long way to go. But as workers get more ownership, they demand more control. And as they participate more, they gain productivity and profits. So a key question is: How do we begin to democratize what is already owned? That is the likely trend.
MA: How might the American models compare to the giant cooperative in the Basque region of Spain—Mondragon?
GA: Mondragon has over 100,000 workers in a very complicated group of 100 or more integrated co-ops. They pay back loans to a central fund and then build more co-ops in an integrated fashion. In 90 percent of them, the ratios of pay from top to bottom are 4 to 1. In others, it's 9 to 1. Compare that with American corporations, which are 200 or 300 to 1. These co-ops are highly productive and state of the art with advanced technology, not your corner kind of tiny co-op.
In the city of Cleveland, some groups are creating a large-scale Mondragon-type of cooperative. It will include a worker-owned laundry, with high-tech, green advanced technology, a solar-installation cooperative company, a land trust with a large-scale industrial-scale greenhouse and solar and geothermal heating. They're going online over the next year and will produce 2,000-3,000 heads of lettuce each day. It's linked to the public purchasing of hospitals and universities, which provide some of the contracts for food and laundry. The model makes green jobs and green ownership and shows that worker ownership is practical.
MA: There are advocates who believe that building these types of cooperatives are the single most important form of activism that people can do. Do you agree?
GA: Ultimately there needs to be systemic change. But it is very important, and it's one thing that can be contributed. At this point, two central principles are developing in these "schools of democracy"—they are changing who gets to own and benefit from capital, and they are changing the participatory process. And in addition to cooperatives, neighborhood corporations and organizations, cities and land trusts, state pension funds are being used in [socially responsible] ways. These are very American means of decentralizing ownership of productive wealth—as well as some central forms. We see a picture emerging of an America that is beyond capitalism.
These [activities] give us a possible model. If we build on what we are already doing, make it part of a political program and develop it, we could create something that is far better than what we now have and better than traditional socialist models. It's time for people working in these sectors of cooperatives, worker ownership, land trusts, neighborhood corporations to begin calling meetings, share what they've learned and establish networks. In many cases they don't do this. People in the specific communities don't even know how much is going on.
Other interesting things are happening in Virginia, the District of Columbia and Maryland where, like in the '60s, people are meeting, reading, thinking and taking action from that. They are staging "action book clubs," where they read a political book and discuss, "What can we do in the direction of building something for the long haul?" So if you don't like capitalism or state socialism, what do you want? What is your vision, your knowledge and theory? It's time for us to do that again.
MA: Do you have a sense of how this economic movement is impacting our current political and economic system?
GA: It's like what happened with the New Deal and the civil rights movement. A good [part] of the New Deal [began] as experiments of the '20s and '10s. But when the time was right, they became national. Similarly, in the civil rights movement, the real heroes were those who laid the groundwork in the 1930s and '40s for what came next. That's what is happening at the grassroots level, economically. The most important things pertain to ownership of capital, wealth and assets. Today, the top 1 percent owns almost 50 percent of the investment capital. The alternative state socialist idea was that the government should own it, but that had real problems with bureaucracy, centralization of power and so forth. There is another alternative, which is what is emerging now. They are old historic ideas. But just over the last 30 years, these 11,000 companies that are substantially owned by workers have [emerged] from ground zero.
MA: So this movement has increased at a pretty rapid pace since the 1970s?
GA: Yes, amazing, and no coverage of it. Almost at the same pace at which the negatives have gone down, you're seeing the rise of these kinds of companies. They have many trial-and-error-related problems, but on the whole, they're moving towards greater ownership and democratization. They are very good for communities and workers. Because they are owned by the workers, they do not get up and run to get cheaper labor sources, so they keep jobs in local communities.
MA: Some of these employee-owned companies have not performed well—financially or for their employees. United Airlines was one example of pretty dismal results. How are the others doing?
GA: It's important to know that United is a case study in what you shouldn't do. It was done in the midst of a strike in a very large corporation. That's not the best place to do worker ownership. Most of the ones that work well are under 1,000 employees. United has numerous reasons why it failed, really, without worker ownership. On balance, the worker-ownership companies, particularly when there's good training, are more profitable; they have higher productivity; better pensions and better working conditions. So on almost every indicator they are unquestionably equal or better than comparable firms of the same kind in the same field. It's not surprising, because people who have a stake in what they're doing tend to do better at it.
MA: In the face of globalization, how do these alternatives hold up?
GA: I think the globalization argument has been trumpeted in the press. They talk about manufacturing jobs being stolen, etc. That is true. But it is also the case that 90 percent of the American workforce is not involved in manufacturing, and over the next 15 years it'll be 5 percent. That's the trend. What's really happening is within cities. This is a service economy and a trade, retail and wholesale economy—that's the real action. It has gone from 40 percent of employment within cities to 50 percent and now closer to 60 percent. There are a lot of things people can do with that. So the bogeyman of globalization is something we can challenge with stopping the so-called free-trade policies. But there's also a lot that can be done locally and not be put off by the fact that the press concentrates on these scare stories.
MA: You have been somewhat dismissive about the left's emphasis on messaging, ostensibly suggesting that what makes change are serious ideas and a coherent and powerful understanding of what makes sense. Can you elaborate on that?
GA: I don't disagree with better language, political rhetoric and framing. But that's often used as a substitute for programs that are out of date or for not thinking through alternatives. So if a central issue is how to change the economy's organization, that's not a matter of framing. It's a matter of building up a vision and organizing a long-term strategy. The framing argument can be positive, but it can also stand in the way of people rolling up their sleeves and getting down to work for the long haul.
MA: Are the alternative models being taught in the business schools yet? If not, how can people learn alternatives to the dominant corporate models?
GA: They aren't being taught yet, although in Cleveland, one of the business schools is beginning to design a course. We are seeing business schools working on "social enterprise," which is another form of democratized wealth ownership, in this case, usually a nonprofit corporation making money for a public service. For instance, in Seattle, there is Pioneer Services, which began as a drug-rehabilitation nonprofit. It began training people who had gone through the rehabilitation program, then produced some businesses so they can do their training on the job. They began making money in the businesses to finance their whole program. I think they're a scale of about $60 million now. It went from 1 percent profits and 99 percent grants to almost 99 percent profits, used for public purposes.
This is now being developed in other parts of the country. Some of the business schools, Harvard and Yale, are teaching these principles in business school, and I think we're going to see them begin moving into the co-op area as more experience develops on the ground. For people who are interested in doing this, www.community-wealth.org is a tool. There are people who are doing it and help others. That's a major change historically, upon which I think we can really build.

What roles are there for sustainability assessment in the policy process?
This paper reviews some of the attempts that have been made in the EU to include sustainability concerns in ex ante policy assessment processes and explores why these are generally deemed to be ineffective. It argues that the dominant policy frames are not oriented towards sustainable development. Traditional policy assessment procedures, which are designed and used to screen policy proposals, are unable to install sustainability considerations into proposals retroactively. A 'gap' in the toolbox of assessment methods, therefore, exists for a form of sustainability assessment able to give a strategic sustainability orientation to policy-making. Within the MATISSE project, this form of assessment is termed 'Integrated Sustainability Assessment' (ISA). This paper describes ISA and discusses where and when in the policy process it could be used most effectively. | 2019-04-21T08:33:05 | https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/32420/ |
The Upper Room values the Presence of God and desires to establish a community in which the fullness of His Presence consistently manifests in the lives, homes, schools, businesses, and cities of those who serve in this house. The Prayer Room is a place to gather morning, noon, and night to minister to the heart of God, to receive God’s love, to hear God’s voice and then decree, prophesy, and pray those realities into the earth.
A core value for the Upper Room is the “In and Out Lifestyle.” After “coming in” to encounter Him in the place of worship and prayer, we “go out” to share the love of God with the world. This is an expression of loving the Lord with all our hearts and loving others as ourselves. “Coming In” refers to the habit of gathering with other believers throughout the week in the Prayer Room to corporately seek the LORD.
As we gather, worship is expressed through thanksgiving, praise, prayer, creativity and other means that focus our hearts on encountering Jesus. We believe that as we corporately worship and behold Him, we will be transformed by His Presence and more into His likeness. From this place of worship and transformation through hearing His voice, declaring His Word, and praying His heart, Heaven’s realities grow in our lives, circumstances, cities, and the nations.
Upper Room Dallas: Jesus is our passion, desire, and pursuit. We love to love Him as He has loved us. Our community centers itself first and foremost around this activity: receiving love from God and giving love back to God through prayer and worship. | 2019-04-21T20:01:31 | https://www.urdallas.com/prayer/ |

Fear is a dangerous thing. Once it is sanctioned by the state there is no telling where it might lead. It is always a short path to walk from being suspicious of our fellow citizens to taking actions to restrict their liberty.
I apologize for this letter in advance, as I swore I had more time to prepare. I was planning to piece together a much more polished letter to express, not just my opinion, but proven factual evidence which is clearly being ignored in Bill S5. But this is the major issue we face with vaping be shoe horned in to Bill S5. There is simply not enough time to properly evaluate a reasonable course of action. As it stands this will not provide a solid foundation for all future regulations. Nor does it ensure survival of what has been proven time after time to be a 95% or more, less harmful means to consume nicotine.
I am glad to know there are people fighting with me who are far better spoken than myself. However, I do not understand how it is coming to pass that our National Governing body is attempting to write laws on nothing more than fiction? Vaping Is Not Tobacco! End of Story. This behavior exemplifies the extreme prejudice being displayed by privately funded “studies” and propaganda campaigns of misinformation. As the elected body of representatives, you are charged with educating the public where this serves to promote harmful assumptions and misinformed decisions. By not presenting factual research by respected medical authorities or even our own research commissioned by Health Canada at the University of Victoria you are deceiving Canadians. This silencing of the truth is action. Action you will have to answer for.
I do not have all the answers as I am quite incapable of being a lawmaker. However, even I can see that making a hasty decision now, will contribute to the early demise of millions of Canadian lives. Their dreams will be quashed and their families will be broken. Do not kid yourself! The Vaping industry has brought about a HUGE magnifying glass into the workings of not only our health care system but our entire way of democracy! I would say I’m astonished this storey hasn’t been reported on. It does present a performance thus far that could never live up to what our own prime minster claims are Canadian values. There is a growing mistrust on government around the world and I can easily see why. You are not making an unpopular decision it may statically be a popular one, but this is not an election campaign were you can waste time flopping this way of that, this is a failure of a government to protect it’s people. This is a failure of government to educate it’s people.
Why do we need to remove Vaping from S5? Simple, it’s irresponsible to make such decisions when evidence so drastically opposed and growing stronger everyday. No one has been mortally wounded from vaping to justify the expediency inclusive of being written on Bill S5. The world has the proper evidence showing us the incredibly positive findings. You must create the time for the rest of the public to learn from it, to allow for the right kinds of policy to be made. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about vaping which deserves a Criminal Punishment, nor are the punishments even close to matching the offenses you are going to create.
The perceived fears that are being regulated against are a fiction. If You pass this bill with Vaping as it is you show no moral fortitude, leadership, Backbone or even old fashion common sense. Medical marijuana, vaping, and tobacco all being lumped into the same frame work which allows for far too much misunderstanding and assumptions. Add this to your body of silence and you will find this is the crime that is far closer to your proposed punishments. This is a costly mistake which is not ideal for any of these industries, nor is it the positive benefit to Canadas overall healthcare system that it should be. This isn’t a proposal to protect the public for the future. This is a discussion about removing what is being called the largest medical contribution to human health ever created.
No amount of bi yearly reviews will justify the suffering that could be prevented! The stifling effect on innovation, community participation and truthful communication, (Which are essential to help people quit smoking) will be enormous. The potential to remain the life saving force for which the vaping industry has become should be encourage and supported and treated with the respect it has earned. To regulate out of fear is to live in fiction and no amount of taxing, lawmaking or punitive behavior will ever make this ok!
Let it be known that every death caused by tobacco from the moment S5 receives royal assent will be a mark of shame that could have been stopped. Something that us as a civilized country, have the obligation to prevent! I will live with this guilt of being unprepared to properly submit a fully articulated and formatted proposal. What will you live with for being the ones so eager to pass a law that is so blatantly in opposition to your own factual evidence. Separate vaping from S5, and allow for the proper attention to research and development to happen.
This will be a defining moment in history where the world will watch Canada either hold true to the now fading light which was our national spirit and pride, or falter and break at the cost of Canadian lives.
Are we a nation so easily bullied into making the same mistakes as those before us have made?
Are we a nation who has lost the respect of its own researchers to the point of flat out ignoring their evidence?
Are we a nation who must seek approval from corporate interests so eager to leave us with the consequences of an insatiable greed for power?
Or. are we a nation who contributes to the betterment of the entire human race? Who is proud to stand up for truth and peer reviewed research? Do we not have some of the most respected minds in the world? Supported with proven processes in place to nurture those minds? Are we not the country who is attempting to right a wrong from history that can never be undone? Or do we now rest on the laurels of such great contributions as our proud arm in space, and no strive at building a country that got it there? Is all of this simply a race for PR for the media headlines? I suspect it is and then some. To which I say to your short game, bad form!
Where is the leadership on Parliament Hill!? Is there any body in the cabinet that I could describe to my children as a positive example of what it means to be a leader of Canada? Some one who can reflect back on their service and say that they were able to get the job done and maintain integrity. Someone who measures the success of their policies by the outcomes they create rather than the worst-case scenarios or what it had been before? For it’s the cowards who speak of the failings of others when promoting their own agenda.
I fear that I will no longer be able to wear a mantle of pride when traveling as a Canadian when there are simply no immediate risks, or reasons to justify such an avoidable and costly mistake. I fear this will be passed to achieve a gain somewhere else.
————-VAPING MUST BE REMOVED FROM THIS BILL! ——————-.
Do you even know what it is you’re regulating against? Do we now create harsh laws for fear of the dark? Or creatures under the bed I’ve heard they might be organizing, better get to work! Wait how ignorant of me it’s the Nicotine poisoning you say that deserves such an over reaction? That may work for the headlines but I must tell you that even as a child i knew the old saying “Don’t use cannon to kill mosquito!”. Stop reacting to headlines, you have the opportunity create them! To be the government who goes down in history as the key decision makers that turned the tide that saves a billion lives through appropriate observation and understanding and international leadership. A transparent cabinet of leaders who chose to empower their citizens by educating them about the facts.
But where it is now you’ll be known as the Government who caved in the face of lies and miss-information. Who ran to corporate interests and allowed thousands of it’s citizens to suffer the consequences. They might even say you were the government who allowed too many unelected parties a little to close to public safety decision making in pursuit of election speeches and personal gain.
This all weighs on you.
I plead with you, Nay!
Please, listen to reason, listen to science, listen to the world’s largest college of physicians and call a wrong a wrong!
REMOVE VAPING FROM BILL S5!
If you would knowingly make the same mistake as me in taking action while unprepared, be ready for the reminders you will see on every cigarette pack that remains, for they will endure. Your plan of claiming credit for falling cigarette use over the next 10 years will lost and be scene as the failure you already know it is. After all it doesn’t work nor has it for 50 years and is really a glaring reflection of shame when measured against any reasonable standard. It isn’t going to work tomorrow either. Just Be ready to tell you children how your decision contributed to failure of this disruptive technology and how you stood by when you had an opportunity to make the right choice. It’s not even a choice, not any more. REMOVE VAPING FROM BILL S5. It’s the only way the law to pass without committing more smokers to an early grave, show you in a positive light and give researchers the opportunity to provide proper amounts of data.
I should have ended this letter paragraphs ago but it feels wrong to do so. I know it’s too little too late to affect real change, and for that I am sorry. But this is where Canadians need you to hold fast and not allow outside pressures to throw responsible decision making off course.
Honorable Ministers, you have an opportunity. Rise above the influence of those who deceive our nation. Promote research, fund education and reward the hardworking business owners who would risk it all to be apart of that moment, when a smoker suddenly realizes they might have a shot at kicking the cigarettes to the curb.
Show the public the information that is more than a headline. Speak with the conviction you would show when describing the color of the sun and the ground beneath your feet. This is the kind of leadership that wins you elections. This is how you make decisions that will allow you to stand tall and speak true. This is how you show the world what it means to be Canadian. Give them the strength to follow our example and help as many people as they can.
As our leaders you are fortunate enough to suffer or celebrate the decisions made for the betterment of Canadians everywhere, and this one is easy, the work needed is nothing, but it’s entirely yours to ruin.
Remove Vaping from Bill S5 and keep Canadian laws grounded in truth. | 2019-04-19T10:17:46 | https://lnmsupplies.com/my-final-plea-to-parliment/ |

I’ve known Greg for years. Everybody knows Greg. He’s a photographer and works on shows. He’s handsome, warm, fun, and talented. Models love him and celebrities kiss him on the cheek, but none of these things seems to really affect him. No matter what happens, he’s always relaxed.
Last time I saw him, we were chatting at the end of a show and he began to talk to me about his life on the farm and, suddenly, everything was clear. For a few years, Greg has split his life between fashion and farm. In fact, not far from the life of my friend Laura Ferrara, and just as inspiring!
Can you tell me a bit about your fashion photography career?
My father was in the fashion business and one day asked if I wanted to go to a fashion show. Of course I said yes and, to keep me out of the way, they gave me a camera and told me to, “go follow Roxanne” (Roxanne Lowit). She is a legend and this was in the late 80s, so all the supermodels were there and it was probably the best place a kid from NY could ever imagine to be: backstage hanging out with Elle Macpherson, Cindy Crawford, Christy and Linda. I was a happy guy!
I’d been bitten by the photo bug, and was really shooting everything I could. My school saw I was shooting these girls and got me to work for the newspaper, so I had free film. I was shooting about, and some smaller journal magazines picked up my work. It was pretty great. I continued passively to shoot through university and, when I got out, I turned down an ad job and started assisting a photographer I met at a friend’s party. That lasted for 5 years and then, when an editor asked if I would come shoot for their magazine, I decided to leave and do my own work. While I was doing some editorial and smaller ad work, I became most know for my backstage at Style.com and the Model Morphosis in The New York Times. Now, as the fashion shows are generally becoming uninteresting for a variety of reasons, i am looking again to other areas of fashion and other aspects of photography (food and farming).
And you grew up in the suburbs just north of New York. How has the city been an influence in the direction of your lifestyle and a source of inspiration for your path to photography?
It was the really the best of both worlds, to have the excitement of the city so close to the safety of the suburbs. I can’t say that I’m particularly interested in going back to the suburban lifestyle, but it has allowed me to appreciate the beauty of being away from the city. I’m a little further out of town now but growing up in and out of the city has stuck with me. I love being on the farm, but I also love to pop back into the city for work or take a day or two with friends.
You have spent a long time right smack, bang in the middle of the fashion industry, shooting backstage at the world’s biggest shows. What has that been like?
It’s been great and still is great! I’ve seen a lot of incredible things, worked with a lot of great, creative people, and have seen both the fashion and photo industries change in a way no one could have predicted. Sometimes you ask what can possibly come next, and then you somehow find it or are a witness to it. Either way, there is always something new. You think you’ve seen or heard it all, but something always comes up and you’re like, “that was pretty cool,” and you take it from there.
Then, in 2010, what happened?
Burned out may be a little harsh, but I definitely needed a break. I was coming off a long few months of work that finished with a month of fashion shows. You can work every day and be fine, but do 30 days of fashion shows and your head starts hurting really bad. It’s one thing being on set and working together to make an image or story look great, and it’s another thing to be backstage with 50 different people, four or five times a day – and through much of that you’re trying to capture images. It’s mentally and physically exhausting. I mean, the excitement is like no other but, when you can’t remember taking the picture, it loses that magic. I didn’t like that.
So at the end of that season, I came home physically and mentally drained, finished up my deadlines and left town. I didn’t know I would end up at the farm. It was just an opportunity that presented itself.
Was there a particular moment you remember thinking “I think a farm is a great idea!,” or was this a dream in the pipeline for years?
It was all a bit of chance, actually. A friend working at the farm was pregnant. When I told her she shouldn’t be working so much and that I could help, her eyes sort of popped out of her head as she nodded in agreement. I started the next day and loved it. It wasn’t easy work, but it was something totally new for me and I just took to it. That was five years ago and, now, I’m planning around my experiences there and plotting where it may take me.
Can you describe what your responsibilities on the farm are?
I’m a farmer. I plant seeds, pull weeds, and harvest crops. I also worry about bugs and when it will rain.
What was the transition like, from spending all of your time in the city to spending much of it on a farm?
Let me tell you, it’s a very easy transition. You feel a weight lift almost immediately. Suddenly, there’s a little more time for everything. Maybe because there is less to do but, for me at least, it was much easier to focus and enjoy life instead of constantly feeling the need to be one place or another, or constantly position myself here or there. It just felt right, so there was really no question.
It’s almost like you live a double life. Is this the ultimate balance, or do you sometimes find it difficult to adapt from a fashion shoot to farm life?
It is ultimate! They of course have their differences, but they both get you out of bed early and keep you busy all day long – there are just different tasks in between those bells. It’s nice to be able to mix up the two. Maybe it’s a little hard to leave the farm for the city, but they both complement the other.
Little this, little that… But I’m dedicated to both the same.
Do you ever feel like you have to shake off your farm persona when you arrive at a shoot, or vice versa?
No, I think you are who you are and that’s what makes working with lots of different people great. It is funny, though; my fashion friends are always curious about the farm. The farm people, well they’re happy when I’m back in the field.
How has the slow pace, the surrounds of nature, working on the land affected, your state of mind and your outlook on life?
I feel happier and healthier, and not too bothered about the little things anymore.
It was a big shift, but what has been the most rewarding part of it all?
And the most difficult thing you had to overcome?
You now have an agricultural column in The New York Times, ‘A Chef in the Field’. Can you tell us what it’s about?
‘A Chef in the Field‘ came out from us having lunch in the barn early one spring, just trying to put a meal together with whatever we could scrounge out of the field. It’s funny with the whole farm-to-table movement happening. Everybody loves going to the market and everyone seems to know their farmer, but something is missing from that exchange. People still don’t know where their food comes from or, more specifically, what their food looks like in the ground. There is still a disconnect. ‘A Chef in the Field’ wants people to be able to trace their food better or at least be more aware about where their food comes from and to eat seasonally. We also want to demystify some vegetables and help people introduce more variety into their lives. To help this along, we take a chef for each piece to a farm and create a recipe around what is fresh and available for that time of year.
What has it been like to bring these two passions of your life together?
It has been such a great surprise, to love two things so much and have them work together in such a perfect way. I couldn’t ask for anything better.
We’ve started noticing more and more people making the change, and embracing a simpler life. Why do you think that is?
I think people are tired of fighting for things that shouldn’t be a fight and realizing that it is just better to do things simpler. Why complicate life and create difficulties, why put yourself in a position to get frustrated? Work with people you enjoy, and enjoy working. Keep the conversation open. So long as you’re not hurting anyone, do more things for you. Keep things moving and keep things happy.
Would you take any of it back? Ever return to your old life and give up the farm?
And your best advice for someone who is thinking about changing their life in a big way, like you did?
There’s no reason not to. Take the step – you’ll be much happier that you did, even if you go back.
Je trouve cette expérience très intéressante car elle casse les clichés et montre que l’on ne se résume pas à une seule chose, que chacun d’entre nous est unique et complexe.
Very inspiring interview. And the picture with the dog is amazing!!
This life seems like a dream- very inspiring! Thanks for sharing this, Garance.
I think this is one of the most enviable life that can exist! It is a perfect mixed one side we live the excitement of New York, fashion, photography, things that may seem futile but so beautiful. And on the other one, it relaxes and focuses on the real values. I think I would like that kind of life. These are two things that fascinates me, nature and art. I didn’t think it could be possible to mix the both.
Very inspiring! I got into gardening this year, and, surprisingly, I haven’t been happier. Planting flowers in the fall, and then looking forward to beautiful, full of flowers, Spring! Nature is very therapeutic, much more than shopping!
This article really struck a cord with me! “Ultimate” is how Greg describes his dual life and I tend to agree. I am an ER physician and have always loved to paint and dreamed of doing something with it. Two years ago I started printing scarves with my artwork and I have to say it has made me so happy. I have learnt to appreciate both worlds and am at a much better and happier place in my life. Bravo Greg! Live your dream.
I am in love with this dual lifestyle. These stories inspire me to bite the bullet, follow my passion and seek out simple happiness. Thank you for this.
Pas la moindre trace de terre, de boue, pas un seul grain de poussière sur les godillots du fermier ou les roues du tracteur briqué, lustré et qui étincelle. Tu m’étonnes qu’il aime la ferme le photographe de mode.
What a wonderful interview! I am envious…perhaps I can find some similar balance when I retire, since I intend to stay quite active. I have less than 2 years to find something new to occupy my time!
Hard work outdoors is soul cleansing, what a lovely interview! I have struggled my whole life with the opposing pull of loving the outdoors and loving fashion. I’m still trying to find the balance. Nature feeds my creativity and fashion is a constant force I cannot hide from. Joining them is my life’s work. Thank you for sharing such real insight and worth.
wow….very inspiring…really makes you think…..
Oui, merci pour cette interview ! Comme quoi il est possible pour chacun de se modeler une vie sur-mesure. Ca fait du bien de lire ça !
Very inspiring indeed! I wonder if eventually he will just stay on the farm and not miss the fashion world….
Love love love love love love love love love….
One of my favourite interviews so far! Why can’t you have it all, the excitement of the city and the beauty of nature! A great read!
Garance. Thank-you, thank-you for the wonderful story and photo’s. I also have large organic gardens, fruit trees, a dog and design silk scarves and have a love for the fashion industry. The story put a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. Farming, color, weaving, fabric, design, production, all begin with nature, are crafted and expressed by the human in it’s complexity, and ultimately returns to nature in it’s simplicity. All, beautifully crafted. Well done!
Merci pour cette interview… Moi qui songe de plus en plus à quitter Paris pour je ne sais pas où… Pas une grande ville de province mais plutôt la campagne. Genre la Corse ! je vais réfléchir à son conseil de sauter le pas. Après tout c’est vrai que rien n’est irréversible.
Very intriguing fellow, would be interested to know what his zodiac sign is…. ? Is he a Gemini?
J’ai beaucoup aime cette interview. Un peu mon reve de vivre a la campagne mais pas trop loin d’une ville ou il se passe des choses interessantes.
Loved this piece! It’s so down to earth and yet simultaneously so romantic. This idea of balance in one’s life and routine is key. Seeing it shared here in a “real world” way is inspiring and a good reminder that a breath of fresh air (literally) is so necessary to happiness and health, as in finding what works for you. Beautiful story – thanks for sharing!
It shows that life can be multiple we can be many different things at the same time and one nourish the other ….
love the parallels of the pictures.
Il en faudrait encore plein !
Very inspiring! For me nature and the city life in a balanced form is the perfect recipe of living. Thank you, Garance. Beautiful interview.
Interview passionnante d’une personne passionnée !
Il est très inspirant et j’aime beaucoup sa simplicité !
One of the best Career interview so far on your blog Garance! His story is so inspiring.. Is it possible to know the list of the chefs / restaurants he is working with in New York?
Farming, when your financial livelihood depends on it, can be backbreaking and very unpredictable work. I enjoy reading these types of articles on the city slicker who goes back to the earth. But I also view them as a kind of a romanticized fantasy that is probably far from most farmers’ reality.
I do agree with Sanaz !
These are beautiful contrasts. I too subscribe to a life of balance and it would be completely normal to see me at the fanciest event or to see me enjoying a weekend at a farm or even going on a picnic out in the middle of nowhere. Creativity and life thrive on these varied experiences and interests and they can influence and affect one another in the most unusual and surprising ways. | 2019-04-23T06:19:44 | https://www.atelierdore.com/photos/farm-fashion/ |
This is probably the fourth consecutive NYFW that off the shoulder pieces ruled the runway. This trend is not going away anytime soon and I’m not mad about it! It was HOT during fashion week (and is still hot now) so while I’m all for introducing Fall items into my wardrobe I’m all for keeping my Summer favorites around a little bit longer. This DVF inspired off the shoulder dress is definitely a Summer favorite, and this new deep red GiGi New York cross body is definitely something I’ll be wearing all Fall. | 2019-04-19T17:26:01 | http://livingaftermidnite.com/2016/09/off-shoulder-at-nyfw.html |

The return of the new Congress must be like the first day of school in the Fall - nostalgic to see old friends; reminiscences about the departed; a sense of maturity about moving up a grade; and anticipation about the new kids - perhaps a speedy running back for the football team or a cute girl to help with your English homework. Lets talk about the new kids.
- The tricky "racist" Republicans have a growing number of minority leaders in Congress and governorships: Hispanics (Marco Rubio in Florida; Brian Sandoval in Nevada; Susana Martinez in New Mexico); Indians (Nikki Haley in South Carolina to join Bobby Jindal in Louisiana); and competitive Vietnamese (Joseph Cao in New Orleans; Van Tran in Orange County.) While there are a few competitive African American Republicans (Allen West in Florida; Tim Scott in South Carolina), they remain outliers in the age of Obama. In the Senate and governorships, the Republicans are demonstrably more diverse than the Democrats.
It will take awhile to see who John Boozman of Arkansas, John Hoeven of North Dakota, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, and their scores of compatriots really are. Most will be average. But just a couple of years ago, nobody knew Paul Ryan of Wisconsin or Chris Cristie of New Jersey. The younger generation of political leadership is tilting decidedly Republican.
This week's video is an ad which Marco Rubio - my favorite of all the newcomers - is using to close the deal in Florida. Reaganesque with better credentials.
Here's an interview on NPR in Milwaukee promoting my new "philosophical thriller", The Target, available at Amazon.com and by order at most book stores.
- The amount is staggering - approaching $4 billion in total, and twice the 2006 total.
- The totals are about equal for both parties, a far cry from 2008 when the Democrats got 58% of the money for Congress and Obama got 64% of the money in the presidential race. Everybody loves a winner, particularly if they can dispense favors and punishments.
- There are lots of pots - the national state, and local parties; the national House, Senate, and Governors campaign committees; the Political Action Committees (which limit individual contributions to $5000); the now-unlimited independent expenditures committees; the candidates. With donor anger at the Republican National Committee for financial irresponsibility, Republican money has shown up elsewhere - but it has shown up.
- Over the past decade, and in 2010, 14 of the top 25 contributing organizations were strongly Democratic (largely unions). The Democrats get the majority from Hollywood, lawyers, and educators; the Republicans get the majority from the construction and energy industries. Less than 1% comes from mom and pop contributors.
-- That the Chamber of Commerce is illegally funneling foreign money to the Republican candidates. No evidence needed. In the 2008 election Obama refused to divulge the source of thousands of potentially foreign contributions - but that was a different era.
-- That all they innocently want is disclosure. Ask Target which was the subject of a boycott for contributing to a pro-business committee which sent some funds to a candidate opposed to gay marriage. Target's exemplary gay rights record counted for nothing. The purpose is to intimidate potential corporate donors.
-- That individuals like the Koch brothers are secretly funding right wing candidates. Like George Soros, Media Matters, and MoveOn.org don't exist.
This week's video is an audio - an interview with Milwaukee's NPR station during the current tour for my nuclear terrorism thriller, The Target.
Occasionally you really can see over the horizon. Washington's November 15 "lame duck" session and the first few months of the 112th Congress that begins on January 3, are worth at least a squint.
- Obama's team will be filled with second tier staffers who have moved up with the departure of Peter Orzag at Budget, Christina Romer at the Council of Economic Advisers, Larry Summers at the National Economic Council, National Security Adviser General Jones, crisis loving Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod (early in 2011), and perhaps even Robert Gates at Defense. None of the replacements is perceived to add strength or business, military, or foreign policy experience.
- The House will likely be in the hands of John Boehner who has been excluded by Nancy Pelosi and vilified by Obama. There will be a small army of energized conservatives with a mandate, and many fewer "blue dogs". Darrell Issa stands ready to investigate everything.
- The Senate will be deadlocked with the filibuster strengthened even if the Republicans do not take over. Moderate Republicans and Red State Democrats will understand what the Tea Party has done to their absent liberal colleagues. With 23 of the 33 Senate seats up in 2012 belonging to Democrats, look for an effort to recruit a party-changer or two before the high tide.
- President Obama will stand ready with his newly-activated veto pen. Fresh off of his 50 Democratic fund raisers in 2010, the post-partisan president will soon be in full 2012 campaign mode for himself - the one thing that he knows how to do. Look for a class warfare theme.
- The Bowles/Simpson Deficit Reduction Commission is to make its recommendations by December 1, with an "every-thing's on the table" approach - Social Security; health care; whatever. With 14 of 18 votes needed for a recommendation, nothing substantive will emerge, but the effort does provide a vehicle for shaping discussion in the new Congress where "fiscal responsibility" will be the watchword. Repeal of Healthcare will be tried and quickly changed to a major effort at modification.
- The Afghan War strategy review is set for December, with the National Security Adviser, Tom Donilon - earlier called a "disaster" by the Defense Secretary - leading the "we need to focus on domestic politics" camp. Pity our Afghan allies.
- Meanwhile, the "blame it on China" camp has Congress calling for a major appreciation of the value of the yuan as the solution to our employment problems. And free trade agreements ... forget it.
1. Unless the Tea Party Republicans can really grab the fiscal responsibility moment, the national debt will push past the $14 trillion Gross Domestic Product. Look to Paul Ryan's leadership for any hope.
2. The push to devalue the dollar and otherwise antagonize China, could lead to the end of the dollar as the international reserve currency. Refinancing our debt will become very expensive.
3. The military community (domestic and NATO) will become highly critical of Obama's strategy of sending our kids to die in a war that he had no intent of winning.
This might be a good time for that extended trip to Australia.
For this week's video, here's the Axelrod/Schieffer interview about Obama's baseless Chamber of Commerce foreign money claim. No evidence? No problem? The tragedy is the damage to the presidency.
We look forward to seeing seeing some of our Wisconsin and Chicago readers during our October 16-25 tour for my nuclear terrorism novel, The Target.
Special Note: See the final item below for details of my October Midwest Book Tour for The Target.
I've been trying to figure out why Californians are largely immune to the conservative Tea Party movement that is washing over the rest of the country from Alaska to Florida. With the arrival in the mail of the voter pamphlets for the November 2, election, I've got some theories.
- Meg Whitman's millions blew out any opposition for governor within the Republican Party - OK, I get that. But in the Senate Republican primary, conservative Chuck Devore came in distant third to Carly Fiorina and Tom Campbell. Some of the Republicans for lesser offices are attractive - Damon Dunn for Secretary of State; Abel Moldonado for Lieutenant Governor; Steve Cooley for District Attorney - but none would call themselves a Tea Party candidate.
- With the Republicans looking to pick up 40 to 60 House seats nationally, California with 34 Democrat (and 19 Republican) seats to offer, may gain one and lose one. Gerrymandering is a part of it, but there is more to the inertia than that.
Premise # 1: Californians got disgusted before the rest of the country did, and have given up. With the recall of Governor Gray Davis in 2003, The Governator took over and soon showed that he couldn't do much about the entrenched interests, the chronic budget deficits, and the dysfunctional legislature. If Arnold couldn't do anything, why get excited about another revolution?
- Thirteen state races: The Governor; The Lieutenant Governor; the Secretary of State; the Controller; the Treasurer; the Attorney General; the Insurance Commissioner; the Superintendent of Public Instruction; the Board of Equalization; the U.S. Senator; the U.S. House Representative; a state Senator; and a state Assembly member.
- Twenty-two local races: Judges (12); The Board of Supervisors; the Assessor; the Public Defender; the Board of Education (3); the Community College Board (3); the Bay Area Transit Director.
- Nine state initiatives: Including legalization of marijuana; deferral of a prior initiative to make California's air cleanliness requirements the most stringent in the country; and lots of tinkering with voting, budgeting, and taxing.
- Fifteen local initiatives: Including reducing the City's contribution to public employee retirement and health care plans; elimination of a requirement that city bus drivers have at least the second highest compensation in the country; allowing non-citizens (including illegals) to vote in school board elections; and lots of tinkering with voting, budgeting, and taxing.
It is hard to be too mad at government when everything is put up for popular vote - and for the people to hold themselves accountable.
Premise # 3: Whatever. Life's good. Let's go to the beach.
When evaluating national polling numbers people should recognize that they would be much worse if they were not skewed by the 38 million Californians who think that the rest of the country is on the wrong track.
Readers interested in my nuclear terrorism thriller, The Target, can hear interviews on WUWM in Milwaukee (October 19 at 10 AM), and WGN in Chicago (November 14), or, for the locals, attend appearances at the Book Bin in Northbrook, Illinois (October 16), the Delafield Public Library (October 19), Books & Co. in Oconomowoc (October 21), Apple Blossom Books in Oshkosh (October 22), Fireside Books in West Bend (October 23), and Book World in Ripon (October 23).

An international team of researchers for the first time have estimated the methane gas being emitted by fresh water areas such as lakes and rivers. The study, recently published in the journal Science, showed that these emissions reduce the net absorption of greenhouse gases by land ecosystems such as forests by at least 25%.
Meanwhile, numerous other surveys have found plumes of methane escaping from sea floor sediments beneath the Arctic Ocean and other underwater regions. Although cold temperatures and high pressure have kept the methane in a frozen state for centuries past, recent destabilization due to human-caused global warming could eventually trigger a widespread release of the potent greenhouse gas at a rate of 16,000 tons per year.
Research oceanographer Dr. Tony Koslow from the University of California San Diego, USA explained.
Tony Koslow - Research oceanographer - University of California San Diego, USA (M): If the sea temperatures increase sufficiently, that would lead to the release of these methane clathrates, these frozen methane in the deep sea. And once that process starts it would just snowball.
VOICE: Oceanographers also forecast that such a release would generate too many methane- consuming microbes, creating an imbalance as they consume the water's dissolved oxygen and generate carbon dioxide. The resulting oxygen depletion and acidification of the oceans would disrupt ecosystems and form dead zones, which in turn would undermine a vital oxygen source for the entire planet. Dr. Koslow points to a major marine mass extinction event in the past.
Tony Koslow (M): One of the real concerns is that about 55 million years ago, the best available evidence is that much of the methane that was trapped in the deep ocean was released very suddenly in geological terms, and this led to a huge warming. And it actually led to the extinction of much of the life in the oceans.
When paleoecologists discovered this, only within about the last 10, 20 years it's really changed people's perspective on how climate change can happen; very, very rapidly and how it can happen through the release of this frozen methane. The key is that we really have to contain global climate change.
VOICE: Our appreciation, international scientists for informing us of the potentially catastrophic impacts of unleashing underwater methane. May we act swiftly together to mitigate global warming so that the biosphere and planet may be preserved.
During an international gathering with our Association members in February 2008, Supreme Master Ching Hai spoke of the release of methane and its link to global warming, urging for the simple way to halt it.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: You see, the gases are fuming from the ocean and from the land that's been deforested. It's fuming everywhere. It's just that at the moment, it's not so intense. But it'll be more and more intense if we don't do something.
Everybody knows by now, from the UN Report that meat eating, animal raising, it's one of the worst factors, or even the worst factor of global warming. And nobody talks about it.
What is so difficult, to put down one piece of meat, and replace it with one piece of tofu. Which is exactly the same, better nutrition. Better for your health. More economized. | 2019-04-23T16:30:36 | http://www.suprememastertv.tv/runaway-methane-global-warming/?wr_id=2442 |
Happy 4/20! One of our favorites, Cody Beebe and the Crooks (Crocodile Cafe, Saturday, April 23, 2011 w/ Danial Kamas) return to the podcast from their first gangbuster national tour. A great vibe in the room, until, that is, just before their first song – EARTHQUAKE!! Not a real one, thank God, just a statewide earthquake preparedness drill that as a responsible podcast we participate in. Even Marty’s twitchy bladder does a simulation of how it would react in an actual quake. Meanwhile Yaz doesn’t flinch.
Also, we watch a popular video of a small alien being that allegedly crash landed in the Russian tundra. As with many youtube videos (Watch the video below), this one has inspired thousands of mean people to say mean things.

Sarah Lamb is a talented and dynamic realist painter. With classical skill—and through transparency, depth and texture—she captures the minute details of everyday objects in her dramatic still lifes and luscious landscapes. She makes us love the familiar and see beauty in the mundane. Born in Petersburg, VA, with a passion for art and an appreciation for the past, Sarah spent a semester at the Studio Art Center International in Florence, Italy before graduating from Brenau Women’s College with a BS degree in Studio Art in 1993. Following a summer workshop in Santa Fe, NM with renowned classical painter Jacob Collins, she spent two years painting at The Ecole Albert Defois in the Loire Valley with classical realist artist Ted Seth Jacobs. In 1997 she moved to New York and spent the next 6 years studying and painting under Jacob Collins at the Water Street Atelier. She has been featured in magazines such as American Artists, American Art Collector and Southwest Art as one of America’s most talented young painters. British-born art critic, John A. Parks, wrote that "Sarah Lamb brings to her work a robustly sensual grasp of the world. Her keenness of eye and joyful brush make the whole enterprise feel freshly alive as she reminds us what the really wonderful things in life are." Sarah, her husband, artist, David Larned, and their daughter, Sadie, divide their time between Pennsylvania's Brandywine Valley and Houston, Texas. | 2019-04-19T00:28:27 | https://spaldingnixfineart.com/artist/sarah-lamb |

I’m starting the day very cautiously floating; a lot of technical damage has been done in both the Mortgage Backed Security and Treasury markets. Several very key support levels have been blown through. We are sitting on the next level of support at the 100 Day Moving Average. You can see the next support level below the 100 DMA is over 100 basis points below current level. There is a saying in the financial world, “don’t catch a falling knife.” A falling knife can rebound quickly, but also further even faster should sentiment and momentum continue. The Producer Price Index was tame this morning and housing starts missed by a little, this will all take a back seat to the technical trading picture. I have been in a locking bias for several weeks and although rates are off the historic lows they are still absolutely fantastic. | 2019-04-21T00:13:01 | https://seanzmortgage.com/mortgage-rates-update-2182015/ |

I was working in #Kolkata since #most recent 10 years as a thing work in a multinational IT affiliation. I discovered Kolkata is a brilliant spot to live, to work, and to have a mind blowing time. It is in like way the #city of #West #Bengal. Kolkata was a minute home to me after my neighbourhood put. The quality of Kolkata is genuinely warm even in Indian winters. The city has distinctive escape objectives including markets, recorded spots, current structures, and workplaces of multinational affiliations. I was exploiting my life at the full with my family and accomplices before the day I dealt with another position offer with a lucrative pay climb and better profile in another multinational. As an authority, I should #need to perceive this offer immediately. Regardless, I accepted control over seven days to perceive this business offer in light of the way that the occupation run was thousands kilometres far from #Kolkata.

I’m not a big fan of most kitchen gadgets and fancy appliances. Oh sure, give me a spatula, a whisk and a standard mixer—that’s great. But don’t ask me if I want a bread maker, a rice maker, a juicer, a breakfast sandwich maker or a toaster that can also cook your eggs 3 different ways. I really don’t have space for it all in my small kitchen and I’d rather just cook the eggs myself.
Awhile back my husband brought home a food processor he won at a work party—an enormous monster of a food processor—and miraculously managed to find a spot to hide it in our rollaway kitchen island. Occasionally he asks me if I’ve used it and I always say no. I’d have to pull it out, figure out how to get it to work, clean it…I reasoned it was much faster to do any necessary chopping or grating by hand.
Then yesterday the chilly fall temperatures got me thinking about a tasty fall muffin which requires lots of grated fruits and vegetables. It’s so much grating I usually end up day dreaming a roulette on line is an easy-to-play casino table game. little and grating my fingers, too. Then I suddenly remembered that food processor—maybe it would be worth figuring out. It takes a lot to get the grating done by hand, but with a little bit of help, I could do it quickly (and safely).

Yes I know its been ages! Let me start out by saying I hope you're having a great start to your new year. For me I'm hoping this year will be better to me than the last two. As many of you know I lost my mom in 2016 and then my dad in 2017 and I really needed to take some time to process things. Over the past few months I've had the opportunity of meeting some of you and I want to thank you all again for your kind words and encouragement.
When I started this blog I wanted it to be a space to inspire and to be inspired so the last thing I want to do is to share my pain.
With that being said, you will be hearing from me a lot more often, still working on my schedule since I am juggling many hats. I also think I'm gonna be doing a bit of a refresh to spice things up a bit so stay tuned.
I have to say that is has been a strange couple of weeks, hell the entire year has been strange. But like I said before this is our happy space and we will focus on the positive here.
My work has always been about the human experience and that we are more alike than we are different. There is another side to that thought also, it's about recognizing our differences and celebrating our them. This is what So Yoon Lym has done with these hyper realistic series that she titled Dreamtime. Just look at all the detail in her work.
These surreal digital sculptures where made by a Korean based artist by the name of Kyuin Shim. Kyuin uses his work to explore various aspects of his culture. But what really fascinates me is how convincing his medium is. He has acquired a new fan.
I recently met Amy on Instagram and became an instant fan of her work and after watching the video of her you love her work even more. She is such an inspiration.
I had the pleasure of meeting Christine Kim at the Ottawa chapter of the all night international street art festival called Nuit Blanche last Saturday night. I came across her work last year at Toronto's Nuit Blanche where she handed out free paper orbs. The line up for her work was one at least an hour wait. Needless to say I was really excited when I found out she was going to be participate in the Ottawa chapter.
Christine Kim is a Toronto based artist and educator who makes some of the most amazing paper cut sculptures. I really love her modern take on a traditional art form. | 2019-04-24T14:02:30 | http://www.soshallwork.com/blog/?category=ART |
This cover is very well made, and has a nice professional feel to it. Unfortunately it's still very disappointing. This protects the back and sides of the iPhone 5s, but it does not offer any protection for the front glass at all. The side of the case does not wrap around to the front at all, so the glass is constantly exposed if you lay it flat on any surface, or put it in your back pocket.
The product worked, but the iPhone XR had some size issues. The armband was snug and fit around my arm, but the plastic cover did not sit flush against the screen so music had to be turned on before putting it in the casing. Running with the product was great and didn’t experience slipping.
Great product but could use some more work on making sure it works across multiple iPhone models. Review by Jeffrey F.
Excellent quality! Really happy with this item :) Review by George T.
This is a perfect fit for my phone, and has a built in slot for your key, along with a strap to keep your headphones in place if you don't have Bluetooth. I especially love that its large enough my phone will fit in it without having to take my case off. Its not a big deal, but is extremely convenient. Review by Barbara H.
This phone case is great for offering some protection while still showing off the design of the iPhone. It’s very basic - just the gold/champagne colored bumper, and a clear back panel (nothing on the front). It’s really easy to install - you just pop your phone in and it stays in securely. There are holes for the headphones/power/speakers, but no holes for the buttons. Instead there are little buttons printed on the sides of the case where the power and volume are. I actually really like the way the buttons look - very sleek!
I didn’t end up being crazy about the color. I have the silver phone and I think the color is a little blah on it. However, I think it would look great on the gold model.
I don’t think this case would offer a ton of protection to the phone, but I do think it will protect it from minor falls, dings, and scratches. I’m a little clumsy though, so I think I will save this case for occasions when I need a sleek look instead for regular day to day use.
Overall, I recommend this case for someone who wants to maintain the look of their phone, but still wants some protection.
I was really looking forward to this case bc I have been holding my credit card in my phone case so everytime I use my credit card then I would have to remove my case. Unfortunately this did not meet my expectations.
Pros: delivered fast, nice leather credit card slot.
Cons: hard plastic made it very difficult to put the case on. The material also made it hard to lock my screen using the button on the side (I have an iPhone 6s). The case itself was big, heavy, and bulky. It did not fit well in my little wallet or pocket.
Item came as promised and the price was right, but since quality is very cheap. It has already begun to fray at the edges where cell phone is slid in. I bought this for my elderly mother as she would carry her cell in her hands and drop it since she has no pockets to slide cell into. So...it is not used very heavily, just from room to room inside a house on her wrist. | 2019-04-23T22:03:36 | http://violet-flame.com/tfcwhhep_16450.html |

Let different members of your organisation get involved. Funny, interesting and most importantly human voices always stand out. The idea of twitter is to get as many “followers” as you can, the idea being that the more followers you have, the more traffic you can drive towards whatever your website may be. This isn’t always the case, however. Some people use twitter to keep in touch with friends or to make new ones. The whole point of twitter, when you break it down, is to communicate with other people.
Because you only have 140 characters in which to state your message, you have to make what you say relative to what you want people to hear. In other words, don’t waste the space that you have in which to send a message.
Clearly, a goal-driven mindset is important to become a better tweeter. The goal maybe to conduct business or for self-improvement. The user with a goal in mind is on the road to becoming a better tweeter, while the rest stay stuck and remain sadly part of the run-of-the-mill group. This week, Miley Cyrus announced that she was leaving Twitter for good. According to her last tweet, she left Twitter because her rumored boyfriend, http://brandchannel.com/home/post/2012/08/24/The-Week-in-China-Coke-Brands-On-Weibo-300-KFCs-Starwood-Skis-Xiaomi-HTC-and-a-Homemade-Lamborghini.aspx Liam Hemsworth, asked her to delete her account.
Webster’s dictionary describes “a person who takes a contrary position or attitude; specifically: an investor who buys shares of stock when most others are selling and sells when others are buying.” The way I see it, you have to make your own path. Once you can engage in contrarian thinking it will create the opportunity for brands. Well, the very first thing to take into consideration is the number of people are likely to look at your update. By this I am not only referring to the amount of friends you have (which will tell you the greatest number of individuals which will look at it and possibly like or comment on it).
I’m also talking about the timing of your own status update. This is an often overlooked element when posting an update, despite the fact that it is significant if you want to get the most activity as possible on your status. So this brings us onto the key question of this article… What is this new fad called Twitter, and why are so many people talking about it? Twitter is a type of social networking microblogging service in which a subscribed user has 140 characters to say what they have to to the rest of the world.
Often referred to as a way of sending a “text message to the world,” Twitter has grown in popularity over the past year to the point where even celebrities are using it. Additionally, news stations such as Fox and the Today Show regularly mention Twitter in their broadcasts. But as more and more web sites start https://www.techinasia.com/sina-weibo-microblog-marketshare/ using complicated URL structure it becomes impossible and http://www.buybuychina.com/starbucks-china-wake-up-and-smell-the-pastry/ inconvienent to continuously show 50+ long character url strings many with archive structure in the URL or SQL Data inside the URL string itself and by using a URL compression tool you can have users focus more on the content you are discussing rather than the URL itself.
Being an avid tweeter, I said I used it primarily for business, which is not only true but also sad. I decided I needed to reevaluate my Twitter usage and perhaps provide some insight about the whole Twitter usage for those who are not using Twitter for business and they just do not get it.
What Are The variations Between Twitter And Facebook?
Remember though, URL Compression introduces risk and danger in many ways, first the URL is compressed so that you actually have no idea where you will be taken. This can cause you to be directed to sites you may otherwise not want to visit, in addition there could be XSS (Cross Site Scripting) or SQL Injection strings inside the URL which may compromise the cookies on http://www.buybuychina.com/mi-too-chinas-homegrown-smartphone-goes-forth/ your browser. So you are implicitly trusting every tweet you follow that the person is not sending a maliciously compressed tweet.
There are some simple strategies for those who aren’t overly ambitious to improve their profile. The biggest mistake beginner bloggers make is to define their blog too broadly. A targeted blog, focusing on niche subject matter (cats, cars, political commentary or whatever) has the best chance of floating. 7) Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – Simply put, this is ranking your website at the top of Google for any given keyword. In a local market, you’ll want to blanket a couple dozen keywords to be most effective.
There usually is no magic one keyword that will get you an avalanche of new patients. Friends and/or family to communicate, share content and share photos. There are a many social networks although most of us think of Facebook right http://www.hastac.org/blogs/chamberlin/wall-within-portrait-pixelated-dream away. Being an avid tweeter, I said I used it primarily for business, which is not only true but also sad. I decided I needed to reevaluate my Twitter usage and perhaps provide some insight about the whole Twitter usage for those who are not using Twitter for business and they just do not get it.
For instance, if someone is looking for the cost of swimming pool supplies, it is a good idea to let the major search engines know you have it covered. You can do this by listing the actual prices of items on your website, or you can use your blog to talk about pool supply costs in general. If you’re not using your website as an online store you do not need to list product inventory with prices attached.
However, using your blog to discuss factors that go into the cost of swimming pool supplies is one way to show up in search results. In a nutshell, microblogging (also known in its hyphenated form: micro-blogging) is an Internet-based communication that is distinctive for its short and constant messaging. Usually, a microblogger joins a microblogging site (see below for the options), gathers a group of fellow micro-bloggers around him who ‘follow’ him, and periodically changes his ‘blog’ to reflect what he is doing.
For instance, on Wednesday, Richt thanked the fans for all of his birthday wishes as the coach celebrated his 49th birthday. Today, Carroll offered his condolences to the family of a friend that lost their battle with cancer.
Over 74 slides, one is just hit with fact after fascinating fact – initially about the reach and penetration of social media, and then how to converse with audiences. It’s truly inspiring stuff. 1) Google+ Local (formerly Google Places) – This is the maps section when you go online and do a geographical search for any business or speciality. It’s free, but it brings some of the best and most qualified traffic to your chiropractic office. Some have called it the most valuable real estate on Google for small business owners, period!
Clearly, a goal-driven mindset is important to become a better tweeter. The goal maybe to conduct business or for self-improvement. The user with a goal in mind is on the road to becoming a better tweeter, while the rest http://www.buybuychina.com/starbucks-china-wake-up-and-smell-the-pastry/, http://www.diandian.com, stay stuck and remain sadly part of the run-of-the-mill group. 4) Twitter – Very few chiropractors have tapped into the power of this microblogging platform. It allows you to monitor conversation real time. Twitter also has an awesome search function where you can search what’s happening now by certain keywords.
If you can direct people to great content that isn’t related to your company then that helps build trust. It’s also demonstrating that you understand one of the fundamental appeals of Twitter for its users – the chance to share information and opinions in a fast, simple way. Tweetdeck: TweetDeck is an Adobe AIR desktop Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Buzz and MySpace application. Like other Twitter applications it interfaces with the Twitter API to allow users to send and receive tweets and view profiles from one application.
You can also make lists and view DM’S @ responses, favorite tweeter lists or groups all from one application. Twitter presents itself as a social networking tool. If you are looking to connect with professionals and experts in your industry, you can find and connect with them using this tool. Twitter service helps you to connect with like-minded people and build long-term relationship with them. Everyone in the network remains updated by sharing tweets (posts) shared in real time.
This is a great way of promoting your blog.
Similarly as you are trying to establish your expertise, there are other industry experts using Twitter as well. You can connect with other experts in your field and ask them questions. By having your questions answered, you can learn new things and broaden your industry knowledge even more. If you come from the old school of thinking, a brand takes a lot of money and time to create. With today’s online business, however, it can be attained with the right combination.
Get a WordPress blog so you can use the WordPress Retweet button. This features allows your visitors to post a link to one of your articles in their Twitter feed in a simple click. You could also add Retweet buttons on your website if you take the time to code it yourself. In a nutshell, microblogging (also known in its hyphenated form: micro-blogging) is an Internet-based communication that is distinctive for its short and constant messaging.
Usually, a microblogger joins a microblogging site (see below for the options), gathers a group of fellow micro-bloggers around him who ‘follow’ him, and periodically changes his ‘blog’ to reflect what he is doing. The main difference is that social media is not a monologue. It is a dialogue that the brand sometimes does not lead. People are talking online http://blogs.elpais.com/china-red/2014/06/zara-vender%C3%A1-por-internet-en-china-en-la-plataforma-tmall.html right now – and this is an aspect of social media marketing. Posting too much.
Using your Twitter regularly is a good thing, but be careful not to overdo it. If it would get your banned in a chatroom, avoid it on Twitter. It’s bad to post five times in a row. It’s worse to do it every day. Posting too much in a day or posting several times in a row are bad business strategies you should always avoid. If you must, leave one or two hours between tweets, and make sure the content is relevant. And as always, trim down any retweets, as it counts as repetitive information that no one likes to hear.
Yammer ties in with the concept of flat organisations, in which senior management is more closely connected to the rest of the work force. Is that sort of approach realistic for larger companies? | 2019-04-24T22:24:26 | https://almabreshearsot.wordpress.com/author/almabreshearsot/ |
"This recipe comes straight from my mother-in-law in Denmark. It's a little labor-intensive, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be addicted! Serve warm with a brown sauce, small red boiled potatoes, and sweet and sour cabbage. Better still, double the batch and have enough the next day to slice and place on toast with mayonnaise (open-faced, of course, the Scandinavian way)!"
Mix the veal and pork together in a bowl, and stir in the milk, onion, and egg. Mix the bread crumbs into the meat. Sprinkle in the flour, and knead well to mix. Stir in the seltzer water, season to taste with salt and pepper, and mix well. The mixture should be very moist, but not dripping.
Chill the meat mixture for 15 to 30 minutes in the refrigerator, to make the meatballs easier to form.
Heat the margarine in a large skillet over medium heat.
To form meatballs, scoop up about 2 1/2 tablespoons of meat mixture with a large spoon, and form the mixture into a slightly flattened, oval meatball about the size of a small egg. Place the meatballs into the heated skillet, and fry for about 15 minutes per side, until the meatballs are well-browned and no longer pink in the center.
See how to make amazing Swedish meatballs in a savory sauce.
This is just how my Danish family taught me - except that my Gram would either mix in dillweed, or sprinkle fresh dill over them when serving. Very addicting!
These are fantastic! We cook them in butter for 2-3 minutes each side. Serve them with parsley potatoes and red cabbage.
This is pretty much the same recipe I have. Friends mom makes it every year. She uses 50/50 soda instead of seltzer. Good flavor booster.
Umm I don't know the house didn't really dig into them, I don't know exactly what was wrong. | 2019-04-22T20:50:10 | https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/111291/frikadeller-danish-meatballs/ |

Hungarian composer Franz Liszt (1811-86), widely acclaimed as the greatest piano virtuoso of his time, was afflicted with the same complaint troubling most famous musicians, in that he was constantly expected to perform for whatever audience might be assembled.
At one especially tedious party, the hostess was so obvious about hinting that she was looking forward to a performance that she arranged the piano in the middle of the room, where it could not be missed.
Liszt, upon arriving and noting what was in store, asked his hostess where the piano was.
"Oh, would you really?" she intoned, "Here it is!"
"Ah, true," replied Liszt. "I wanted to put my hat on it ..." | 2019-04-22T04:36:12 | http://www.dw-jotd.com/classic/famous_folk/liszt.htm |

The origin of the word slide comes from the Old English verb ‘slīdan’, which relates to a sledge. The word can be used in all manner of situations, and slide can refer to many different kinds of objects. However, almost all of them refer to items that perform the same type of motion.
The word slide can be used to refer to different things in a huge range of circumstances. In almost every case, however, slide refers to the smooth, downward motion of an object.
The most obvious example of a slide is an apparatus that children play on. The smooth surface of the playground object allows children to glide quickly down from a height, creating the sense of motion that defines the object. Slides like these are also used in waterparks and swimming pools.
In the metaphorical sense of sliding down or backwards, the action of a person, object or event is associated with a slide motion. For example, someone might feel that a situation is sliding out of control if it becomes more and more chaotic or difficult to manage. | 2019-04-24T05:59:31 | http://www.macmillandictionaryblog.com/slide |
SRINAGAR: (APP) Indian police arrested the All Parties Hurriyet Conference Chairman, Syed Ali Geelani and Mirwaiz Umer Farooq , in Hyderpora area of Srinagar, Wednesday, when he defied curfew and tried to march towards Naqashband Sahib in the city on the occasion of the Kashmir Martyrs’ Day.
Syed Ali Geelani and Hurriyet leaders Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik had jointly given a call for the march towards Martyrs’ Graveyard at Naqashband Sahib to pay tributes to the martyrs of July 13, 1931.
Despite curfew , Syed Ali Gilani Mirwaiz came out of their residence in Srinagar and started to march towards the Martyrs’ Graveyard along with scores of his associates. When they reached at main Airport Road, Indian police swung into action and detained the APHC Chairman and many others and shifted them to Humhama Police Station.
It was on this day in 1931 when the troops of Dogra Maharaja had killed 22 Kashmiris, one after the other, outside the Central Jail in Srinagar. They had gathered in the jail premises to attend the court proceedings against one, Abdul Qadeer, who had asked the Kashmiri people to defy the Dogra rule.
Meanwhile, complete shutdown is being observed in the occupied territory, today, to mark the anniversary of the martyrs of 1931. It is also aimed at registering protest against the killing of innocent Kashmiris by Indian troops and police personnel during the ongoing Intifada. Thirty six people have been killed so far due to the firing of Indian forces’ personnel on peaceful demonstrations since the extrajudicial killing of top commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, Burhan Wani, on Friday.
The occupation authorities continue to impose curfew across the Kashmir Valley and keep Hurriyet leaders under house arrest or illegal detention to prevent demonstrations against the killing of Burhan Wani.
Earlier, the Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Wednesday asked the Indian authorities to credibly and impartially investigate police use of force during violent protests in Occupied Kashmir that have killed more than 30 people and injured hundreds.
Since the killing of Burhan Wani and two other Hizb-ul-Mujahedin members in an armed exchange with the forces on July 8, 2016, demonstrations have occurred in various parts of the state in which protesters have hurled rocks. State security forces have responded by firing pellet guns, teargas, and live ammunition.
Wani, 22, had a large following among Muslim Kashmiris who shared his demands for secession and an end to abuses by the Indian security forces. After his death, thousands attended his funeral. The protests started soon after, and the government ordered a curfew and blocked the Internet in some places.
The Indian Express reported that hospitals were packed with injured protesters. One ophthalmology ward said that doctors had performed nearly 100 eye surgeries on people with pellet gun injuries. Indian security forces have been using pellet guns as a nonlethal option for crowd control after nearly 120 people were killed during weeks of protests in 2010.
The use of pellet guns since 2010 has reportedly resulted in at least 300 hospitalizations in Srinagar, including 16 cases in which the patient lost their sight completely. The Indian government should publicly order the security forces to abide by the United Nations Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials, Human Rights Watch said.
The Basic Principles further provide that, “[i]n cases of death and serious injury or other grave consequences, a detailed report shall be sent promptly to the competent authorities.” The authorities should not only investigate the use of firearms that resulted in death and injury, but also the use of pellet guns, which can cause serious injury when fired at close range or at an individual’s eyes.
The findings of the investigation should be public and result in appropriate disciplinary action or prosecution. Past lack of accountability for serious human rights violations has been a driving force in the protests. Indian officials have called for restraint and calm by all sides. Security forces have said that they are exercising restraint to disperse protesters.
They reported that 110 security personnel have also been injured in the protests and that one police official drowned when protesters pushed his vehicle into a river. Protest organizers should take steps to deter supporters from engaging in violence, including attacks on law enforcement officers, Human Rights Watch said.
“A major grievance of those protesting in Kashmir is the failure of authorities to respect basic human rights,” Ganguly said. “Ensuring that rights are protected and prosecuting those responsible for abuses would be an important first step. | 2019-04-22T08:26:34 | https://timesofislamabad.com/14-Jul-2016/kashmir-martyrs-day-large-scale-arrests-made-in-defiance-of-curfew |

On Friday morning, April 16, 2004, Mohamed Hadibèche, then a 44-year-old truck driver, felt a mild pain in his chest. It was gone within minutes. The following morning, the pain returned – again, subsiding soon after. So when the pain returned the next afternoon, he assumed he could ignore it. But this time it rapidly grew more intense. “I felt I had a stake deep in my chest,” recalls Mohamed. His wife, Houria, insisted on getting him to hospital.
Mohamed couldn’t have known it that Sunday, but inside the walls of the arteries leading to his heart, cholesterol had been building up. Over time, this cholesterol had hardened into a substance called plaque, creating a condition called atherosclerosis. These plaques narrowed the space through which his blood flowed.
When plaques rupture, as they sometimes do, blood clots can form, further interfering with the flow of blood. This appears to be what happened to Mohamed. Blocked by hard, calcified cholesterol and clots, oxygen-rich blood could no longer reach his heart. And Mohamed Hadibèche suffered a heart attack.
What is cholesterol, and why do we have it?
Cholesterol is a fat-like substance called a lipid that’s primarily produced by the liver. We couldn’t live without it. “You need it for hormones, DNA, and cell membranes,” says Dr Ian Graham, professor of cardiovascular medicine at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. If not for cholesterol, your brain couldn’t function.
Your cholesterol test only measures the first two major lipoproteins. Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), named for its lower concentration of cholesterol, is commonly labelled “bad” cholesterol because it contributes to plaque. High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is the so-called “good” cholesterol because it is thought to help remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries. The third major lipoprotein is Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL), a larger particle with a high concentration of triglycerides.
But when that excess goes where it’s least welcome – stuck to the walls of your arteries, as happened to Mohamed – it increases the risk of heart problems. If the arteries leading to the brain are involved, it can increase the risk of stroke.
Not all heart problems are related to high cholesterol, but the World Health Organization estimates that cholesterol is responsible for a third of coronary heart disease cases. That’s significant, because cardiovascular disease is the number-one cause of death globally, accounting for more than 17.5 million deaths a year. Meanwhile, high triglycerides, fats that rise when “good” cholesterol levels fall, can double the risk of stroke, says a large 2012 study. | 2019-04-22T18:40:41 | http://www.readersdigest.com.au/healthsmart/conditions/heart-blood-pressure/What-You-Need-to-Know-About-Cholesterol |

When your site is popular with other web-sites, the Search Engines love you, but if you are the new kid on the block, they ignore you; totally. Its great to be popular; and improving your Link Popularity will also get you higher rankings on the search engines.
Why is Link Popularity important for higher rankings?
Search Engines are just software programs that try to analyze the utility and validity of your content with regard to certain keywords. It also tries to understand the importance or ranking of your site against all competing sites in its index.
Just how do Search Engines learn about the utility and the validity of your content?
Search Engines just love sites that users love to visit. They love it even more if users spend more time at the site before they browse away. Now how do they know which sites humans love? Obviously with the billions of web pages on the world wide web, the Search Engines cannot manually go to each site and check their content. They let other humans do that work for them. Then they watch as others link to your site. They watch your LINK POPULARITY.
Link popularity simply means how popular are you on the World Wide Web. And your popularity is determined by the number of people linking to your web-site. The greater the number of external links pointing to your web-site, the greater is your ranking. Simple, isn’t it?
Here is how to find YOUR link popularity: Go to Google.com and type in link: followed by your URL. This returns all the sites that link to you in the Google index. eg. link:http://www.yourdomain.com.
How do you get a lot of people to link to you?
Getting people to link to you is easy if you establish your presence. Show that you are a master of your domain. Even if you deal in manure, and there are people out there wanting to know more about it, you have an audience. And if you establish your presence well enough, the links will automatically follow.
Here are a few ways you can increase your inbound links.
1) Articles : Almost anybody can write articles. This is the easiest way to get started on your way to Search Engine manna. Its just the question of putting down your thoughts in a coherent manner. As long as the information you are providing is useful and valid, your articles are sought after by publishers out there. There are also hundreds of article directories on the net.
To find article directories, Google ‘Article Directories’. You get nearly 2 million hits. There are also some awesome free tools available for this.
For those with a morbid fear of writing, you can find ‘Ghostwriters’ as well as ‘Virtual Assistants’ on the Internet. Search on Google for those terms and you will find many a link to sites that provide you suitable services. You may also use sites like Elance.com and RentACoder.com for people who will write articles for you.
2) Blogs: Blogs are not as easy to do as Articles are. But they are a very useful tool, nevertheless. When you have a blog, you have an audience. It like a fan base. They have certain expectations of you. They want you to churn out hit singles or albums. But they want you to give them more. Even though they started out as mere diaries or daily jottings of a few people, currently they are excellent link building, content management and search engine optimization tools.
In fact almost industry may have its blog portal. As always run a search and you will find something in your industry. Or you may go to blogger.com or wordpress.com to start your own blog free of charge.
3) Free Products: The easiest way to do this is to write a tool and offer it for downloads. Or may be even provide a service for free. The greatest example of building a business with free service that comes to mind is hotmail.com. Once your service becomes a must-have, its only a matter of time before you can start making money from it. Also you can have people point to your site to give their customers access to your tool.
4) Trackbacks: This is the easiest way to get your links out there. What you do is go to other blogs(Authority Sites) in your industry and become a regular contributor. Or comment on the blogs. Along with your signature, most people offer a link to your web-site. And the more links you have pointing back to you, the more popular you get. Also, when you become a major contributor/commentor, people start valuing your opinion more.
5) Syndications : You can offer your articles to other sites for publishing for free or for payment. Your article links back to your site.
6) Reciprocal links: You offer a link to another peer site, in return for them linking back to you. This is a good way to get your target industry users to come to your site. Also you introduce your users to other sites that they may be interested in visiting. They will be thankful to you for pointing them in the right direction. And they come to trust you more.
7) Partner links : Your local Chamber of commerce, Suppliers, Resellers, Affiliates, Sites selling complementary products etc.
8) Study your competition: Google your product and study the linking strategy of top ranking sites. There are tools that help you do this. Webposition.com has a good tool but I prefer EliteSEOTool.com as it has some additional features that I love. These tools help you conduct an ongoing study of your competition and their rankings thereby helping you beat them consistently.
Of course, no amount of link popularity will help you if don’t have the content to keep visitors at your site. So start with good content.
A note of caution! Make sure that you are being linked to by Authority sites with a Good PageRank. Also the linking sites should somehow be relevant to your industry. If not, it only serves to confuse the Search Engines and your rankings will suffer. | 2019-04-22T04:28:55 | http://www.sitepronews.com/2008/04/04/7-steps-to-greater-link-popularity-and-higher-search-engine-rankings/ |

This week I must say was very busy but at the end of it I felt very accomplished. I’ve had a hard time staying on top of the daily post and readings. I finally learned how to navigate around WordPress so I was more on top of things. There was also a lot of writing we had to complete this week which I am not used to but I actually enjoyed it. I felt like I had a different reflection to look forward to each day. Most of the assignments were fun to complete so it made the week go by faster.
My favorite activity was by far the Amazon Review. As I am typing in my search for a zombie sword I laugh to myself thinking about the review that I am going to be writing for all these other amazon customers to read. They probably will be looking at the comment like, is this girl okay?
I chose to read A boy and His Dog, and There Will Come Soft Rain. I really enjoyed the short story reflections because if we weren’t assigned to read those stories I don’t think I would have ever come across the two stories. The reflections made me really focus on what was going on in the story that was being told. I thought it was interesting to see how I thought about one vs the other and compare how they were different.
In the event of an apocalypse, I think that I would be one to share my supplies with those who need. There’s nothing more that I love than giving to others. I am a very caring girl who loves to give so I find it hard to believe that I would hoard all of my supplies from ones who need. It would be hard for me to watch my friends and family suffer while I’m okay. | 2019-04-18T15:18:33 | http://dgst.cspanumw18.com/weekly-reflections/third-times-the-charm/ |

"We won't let hate win."
Ariana Grande has released a heartfelt, hopeful statement following the bombing at her Manchester show, which killed 22 people and injured 66 on Monday night.
In an apology to the victims and their families and friends, Grande promises to return to Manchester for a benefit show, vowing, "We won't let hate win."
She applauds her fans for showing strength and offering their support for the victims, writing, "Our response to this violence must be to come closer together, to help each other, to love more, to sing louder and live more kindly and generously than we did before."
Music is meant to heal us, to bring us together, to make us happy.
They will be on my mind and in my heart every day and I will think of them with everything I do for the rest of my life.

Alexa J. Murphy Crumpton and Dillon Larberg met when they were 12 years old and he lived down the street from her best friend. Though they wrote their names together in chalk on the sidewalk and dated casually in high school, their relationship didn’t truly start until they reconnected later in college. Alexa describes Dillon as the most compassionate, hilarious and fun person she knows; he describes her as empathetic, adventurous, passionate and always down for a laugh. He proposed on Mount Bonnell, where Alexa’s parents had gotten married, and the two had a wedding full of love that was both relaxing and fun. Seeing the tears running down Dillon’s face as she walked down the aisle is a memory Alexa will treasure forever, and the sunset that night was one for the ages. They served brunch for dinner, then danced the night away. | 2019-04-23T10:03:43 | https://austinweddingday.com/alexa-dillon-classic-details-meet-bohemian-charm?page=1 |

In this article we are going to provide some practical recommendations that should be taken into account both by mortgager and mortgagee when concluding a mortgage agreement.
In the case of mortgage of a building, recourse may also be taken upon the land plot under the building. The same will happen to the building in the case of mortgage of a land plot under the building and to subsidiary annexes of the building in case of mortgage of the building, following the principle of belonging to the principal building. It should be noted here that a creditor under the obligation secured by mortgage is not entitled to receive money from the value of such things, since they were not the subjects of the mortgage.
In the case of consolidation of land plots, one of which is mortgaged, the mortgage will also apply to the land plot created in the result of consolidation. This rule is directly stipulated in the Land Code, however, such a rule is not provided in case of division of the mortgaged land plot. Therefore, at the stage of outlining the terms of the mortgage agreement, it is necessary to define the destiny of the mortgage in case of any changes that can be made by the owner of the mortgaged land plot, namely, to apply the mortgage to the newly formed plots, since in the case of formatting new land plots through division or other operations with the mortgaged plot, the initial mortgaged plot ceases to exist as an object of civil rights. Thus, it is worthwhile to stipulate in the mortgage agreement that the mortgage will apply to any new plots that may be formed out of the mortgaged plot through its division or other operations, or to restrict the proprietor’s rights to such activities, such as by necessity to obtain written consent from the mortgagee to operations involving the subject of the mortgage. In the latter case, if the mortgagee’s consent to division of the plot has been obtained, it is possible to conclude an additional agreement to the mortgage agreement stating that the new land plots created after division are mortgaged in the same way as the initial land plot. Additional agreements of this sort are subject to obligatory state registration.
Incomplete constructions that belong to a real estate object may become the subject of the mortgage, unless they are the subject of an effective building contract. Mortgage creditors under conclusion of the mortgage agreement should provide a clause where the mortgager declares that the incomplete construction is not the subject of an effective building contract. Under such a condition a bad faith mortgager will not be able to present to court any building contract that was unknown at the moment of concluding the mortgage agreement, or claim nullity of the mortgage agreement reasoning that the subject of the mortgage was the subject of the effective building contract.
Under mortgage of land plots their evaluation is necessary in accordance with the legislation on evaluation activities, that is, the evaluation should be performed by an independent evaluator. An independent evaluator’s report should be dated no earlier than six months prior to conclusion of the mortgage agreement.
Under mortgage of several real estate objects, such as several land plots, each land plot should be evaluated separately, since they do not make up a property complex — each object that has a certificate of the state registration of property is subject to evaluation.
The agreement should state all the rights to the subject of the mortgage that exist at the moment of concluding the mortgage agreement, otherwise the mortgagee may demand early discharge of obligations secured by the mortgage — see Article 12 of the law on mortgages.
If a debt under obligation secured by mortgage is transferred to the other party, the mortgage is terminated unless the mortgager has assumed liability for the new debtor to the creditor.
In the case of a change of the principal obligation secured by a mortgage, such as extension of the term of loan repayment, the respective amendments should be made to the mortgage agreement and registered with the state registration body.
Finally, one should always observe the requirements for concluding major deals provided in Article 78 of the federal law on joint stock companies and Article 46 of the federal law on limited liability companies. | 2019-04-20T12:21:25 | http://old.themoscowtimes.com/business/business_for_business/article/406185.html |

It’s expected that different independent stockists will choose to stock different Yuketen styles. What I find difficult to grasp is that frequently they’re styles unavailable on Yuketen’s own webstore. Take these leopard print loafers. Recently dropped over at San Francisco’s Union Made, yet, based on my Google prowess, unavailable anywhere else – including Yuketen direct. I guess that’s the game. If such garmentry was easy to find, some of the allure would be lost. As a side point: it’ll be interesting to see if interest in Nepenthes depreciates once their London outpost in Euston opens in the new year.
I have a pair of Yuketen’s in this print. They’re lace ups with a (apparently uncleanable) gum sole. The Vibram 2021 sole on these loafers is much more appealing. But be advised (and speaking from some experience) if you have leopard print shoes poking from beneath your salvage denim, uninvited wisecracks will be forthcoming.
Like so much interesting menswear, the effectiveness of these loafers is about context. Just like certain music genres leave some crowds cold, while blowing up the dancefloor for others, the right audience will get these. To the wrong audience you’re probably an Essex chancer trying to blag the door at Annabels. I mean, animal print shoes… It’s difficult to ignore that in the UK there’s years of cultural baggage tying them to Corrie barmaids, Del Boy’s associates and Peter Stringfellow. But then in fairness, I doubt Japanese fancy shoe evangelists Yuki Matsuda (Yuketen) and Keizo Shimizu (Needles) lose much sleep over the legacy of Only Fools and Horses. Frankly you either buy into their baggy trousered mix of denims, olives, bandanas and jungle cat footwear or you don’t.
Yes they’re expensive and yes, if you’re in the UK, ordering from the US is a costly undertaking – you’ve got to take postage and import duty into account. But these are professional savagery. Not for everyday, but when you bring them into battle, you’ve own the scenario. The first time I wore my leopard print Yuketens I stepped in a puddle of oil. If you want some practical advice; definitely buy these shoes, maybe don’t step in a puddle of oil. | 2019-04-25T22:26:23 | https://rampboy.com/2018/12/02/losing-sleep-over-the-legacy-of-only-fools-and-horses/ |

The Cal women’s golf team entered the Mason Rudolph Fall Preview this past weekend looking to play consistently as a team, get a feel for the course and continue its dominance in the short game. The team accomplished two of its goals, but one of them still needs work.
The Bears finished 10th out of 18 at the tournament in Franklin, Tenn. Cal competed against much-heralded competitors such as Alabama, Virginia and Vanderbilt, but the team title was eventually won by UCLA. The tournament was held at the Vanderbilt Legends Club North Course, the site of this year’s NCAA Championships.
“I think we showed that we can stack up against the top teams, as long as we all play together,” McDaniel said.
There were many great individual performances, but the team could not find any consistency or continuity in its play. Senior Emily Childs finished the third round with a one-under 71, but did not experience the same success in the previous rounds. Joanne Lee, on the other hand, finished the second round at par, but shot a combined 12-over in the other rounds.
Even with their inconsistency, McDaniel found hope in her players while their brilliance lasted.
“Emily and Joanne gave us a lot of confidence that we could really compete,” McDaniel said.
As a team, the Bears finished with a score of 893, which put them at +29 for the tournament. The player with the lowest score, senior Daniela Holmqvist, finished tied for 16th.
As a team, Cal improved 16 strokes from its first round total to its second, from a 306 to a 290.
All in all, the team felt satisfied coming out of the tournament since it was able to do part of what it set out to, which was to gain familiarity with the course, where it hopes to compete in the spring.
“We felt that getting a feel for the course was really important, and it’s good that we have played here now, and we know what to expect for next time,” McDaniel said. | 2019-04-25T18:06:19 | https://www.dailycal.org/2011/09/25/inconsistency-overshadows-cals-performance/ |
On my previous post, I mentioned I want to have my own camera.
Finding the right camera is not easy, especially when there are so many cameras to choose from. My sister recommends Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300. So I decided to check it out.
DSC-T300 is the latest in its line of touch-controlled slim digital cameras.
Smile Shutter: Sony’s revolutionary Smile Shutter Feature is designed to automatically snap only when the person is smiling. Simply select Smile Shutter from the scene selection mode and you are ready to shoot picture-prefect smiles.
Also, this camera can differentiate between the faces of children and adults. Simply select “child priority” or “adult priority,” and the camera will automatically detect up to eight faces in the camera frame, adjusting focus, exposure, white balance and flash for the subjects that matter most.
But if you are into details, DSC T300 has a problem with picture quality. Photos generally look soft and noisy, with haloing along edges. Picture quality does not quite match up to the very best.
The bottom line: If your main consideration is design, as long as the camera can still take a decent snap, then the DSC T300 is well worth considering. | 2019-04-25T00:31:56 | https://www.irisaeirincollections.com/2008/07/sony-cyber-shot-dsc-t300.html |
Orgone is simply another word for what is also known as “Qi”, “Prana”, “Ether” and “Akasha”. The existence of a universal life-force energy which permeates all of nature has long been accepted with little questioning, even in scientific circles, until the 19th century when scientists sought to disprove its existence. However, breakthroughs in the 20th and 21st century led by a few pioneers have rekindled interest in experimentation with life-force energy. One of these pioneers was Dr Wilhelm Reich.
Dr Wilhelm Reich (1897 – 1957) was the Austrian psychiatrist who first coined the term orgone, and his research into orgone energy has paved the way for others.
Reich used a galvanometer to discover that our skin has a charge when we are in pleasurable situations, and he initially called this phenomenon bioelectric energy. Later on, he discovered globules of energy that he called bions. These globules gave off a kind of radiation which charged nearby objects. He later found that this radiation was the same bioelectric energy that he had discovered earlier, and he termed it orgone.
Reich constructed the first orgone accumulator, also known as an ORAC. It consisted of alternating layers of organic and inorganic material (in chemistry, “organic” refers to any carbon-based material). It was intended to produce a strong concentration of positive orgone energy, which would have a healing effect.
Reich conducted experiments with an ORAC box using mice that had cancer. He kept both healthy mice and mice with cancer in the box and compared them to a control group, and found that even the mice with cancer had longer life spans than the mice in the control group that were not kept in the ORAC box. He later went on to treating human patients who had cancer and other ailments.
He also produced the first cloudbuster, a device made out of hollow pipes which he believed was able to draw deadly orgone energy out of the atmosphere. He also used it to control weather – as deadly orgone energy is removed, weather patterns become more balanced, which means that cloudbusters can either dissipate clouds or trigger rain, depending on what is needed in that particular environment.
Unfortunately, Reich was imprisoned after the American FDA had him arrested for the unauthorised sale of his ORACs. Much of his research was destroyed by the FDA, and Reich died in prison in 1957.
Stacie sat on the beach at Cape Hatteras’ Outer Bank last weekend and baited hooks for a knowledgable (sic) an old black gentleman who had made his own fishing weights of fiberglass resin, BBs (small ball bearings) and a quartz crystal. His grandfather taught him to do that and he apparently catches more fish than anyone around.
The fisherman calls his sinkers ‘energy stones’.
In fact, one of the first mentions of a device very similar to orgonite was by Franz Bardon (1909-1958), a Hermetic practitioner who had great experience with the occult and healing. Bardon was imprisoned for three years by the Nazis for refusing to reveal esoteric information. In his 1956 book Inititiation into Hermetics – A Course of Instruction of Magic Theory & Practice – he mentions a device called a “fluid condenser” which can be used to store etheric energy. These condensers can be solid, liquid or aeroform. Bardon’s solid condenser consists of a mixture of the seven planetary metals (lead, tin, iron, gold, copper, brass and silver), coal and resin – practically the same ingredients as orgonite!
Orgonite as we know it was first made by Austrian Karl Hans Welz. In 1991, he improved on Reich’s orgone accumulator by creating a device made of metal particles cast in resin. Unlike the ORAC which accumulated both positive orgone (POR) or deadly orgone (DOR), Welz’ “orgone generator” turned DOR into POR. Welz coined the term orgonite. He later trademarked the name, however he did so only in 2005, nearly ten years later when the word had already become a commonly used generic term.
Don and Carol Croft improved on the original orgonite formula in the early 2000s, by adding a crystal to the resin-metal mix. The quartz crystal, with its piezoelectric effect, amplifies the energy and aids in transforming DOR. Some believe that orgonite without a quartz crystal will over the long term become an orgone accumulator, which can be harmful if it is placed in an area heavy with DOR. The Crofts were also pioneers in the orgonite gifting movement, which has now spread worldwide. | 2019-04-20T05:19:10 | https://toolsoflight.art/orgonite/ |
The Florida agriculture community sent a letter this week to state budget leaders concerning issues with funding certain aspects of agriculture. Sam Ard, Florida Cattlemen’s Association director of governmental affairs, explains what the letter was about and updates other items still being discussed during the Florida legislative session.
On behalf of the members of the Florida Agriculture Coalition, we would like to request your support of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service’s (FDACS) budget and want to highlight several of their budget items that are extremely important to Florida’s farm and ranch families.
Florida Agricultural Promotional Campaign, better known as “Fresh from Florida”: The programs funded are key factors in the continued economic viability of Florida’s farmers. It is also critically beneficial for Florida consumers by educating the public on local and healthy food choices. It is also a great investment for the State with a $22 return on investment for every $1 spent on the program. Cuts to this program will set back by years Florida’s farmers efforts in holding and expanding markets to sell their Florida produced commodities.
Water Quality and Nutrient Reduction Programs: The public and policy makers are more focused than ever on making sure we make improvements to water quality. We are in total agreement and have been and want to be a continued partner in that effort. The FDACS Office of Agriculture Water Policy has the programs, people and proven partnerships with the farming community to accomplish this task but it requires adequate funding to be successful. The farmers and ranchers located in critical areas of concern from the spring watersheds in the North to the Lake Okeechobee watershed in the South, are positioned to partner with the State on BMPs and innovative technologies to further reduce nutrient loadings and to conserve water. With the full funding of these programs, you will be guaranteeing the fastest and most cost-effective path to the water quality improvements we all want. We urge you to provide funding for agricultural restoration projects both within the Lake Okeechobee watershed and statewide.
Rural and Family Lands Protection Program (RFLPP): Every day acres of farm and ranch land are lost to development as part of Florida’s robust economy. Many of these acres could have been protected if programs like RFLPP were adequately funded. This program allows for farm and ranch families to sell their development rights to the State and keep the property on tax rolls and in green space that allows for wildlife habitat, water quality improvements and water recharge. The reality is FDACS’s request for this very popular program doesn’t come close to meet the demand, with 140 landowners eager to participate if only there was enough funding. That is why it is so critical to fund their request and commit to future increases in funding for this program because anything short of that amount means the State in many cases will lose forever critical parcels to development.
The programs and services provided to Florida agriculture and consumers by FDACS are critically important and the above three budget areas are just a few of the ways that all of Florida’s citizens benefit from a fully funded FDACS. We know policy makers have to be financially prudent of Florida’s taxpayer funds, but we can assure you there is no better use of said funds than ensuring a robust local source of safe and affordable food with as little impact to the environment as possible. We appreciate your consideration of our request and appreciate your service to the State of Florida. | 2019-04-23T04:38:11 | http://southeastagnet.com/2019/04/12/florida-agriculture-concerned-budget-issues/ |
Putnam Highlands Audubon Society was formed to protect and preserve nature and the wonderful bird population of the Hudson Valley. We produce and present many educational programs to help you learn about and enjoy our birds. Also here are more resources that you will find very useful. Whether you a newbie or a seasoned birder.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology presents a great series of online self-paced courses to help both beginning and more experienced birders.
Again, this year, the weather was poor and although our teams spent the time and energy out in the field, many birds had clearly hunkered down to wait out the rain instead of revealing themselves. Thank you again for all of you who supported our efforts to document the bird species in our region this Spring and for your support of Putnam Highlands Audubon Society.
The first online citizen science project to collect data on wild birds and to display results in near real-time. Since then, more than 100,000 people of all ages and walks of life have joined the four day count each February to create an annual snapshot of the distribution and abundance of birds.
We invite you to participate! Simply tally the number and kinds of birds you see for at least 15 minutes on one or more of the days of the count. February 13-16, 2015. You can count from any location, anywhere in the world.
Follow Our Facebook Page for upcoming Events. | 2019-04-21T02:50:18 | https://www.putnamhighlandsaudubon.org/birds/ |

The genius of Beyoncé is that she is so excellent at being her that she doesn’t make me want to be her - but instead the most excellent version of myself. Her excellence while relentlessly persuasive is also intentionally permissive.
Beyoncé demands EXCELLENCE. From HERSELF. From HER TEAM. If you're not about excellence, best believe you won't have the PRIVILEGE of working with her. And yet she doesn't allow her pursuit of excellence to get in the way of EXECUTION. She's a whole masterclass.

The government is now tapping multilateral funding institutions led by the World Bank, instead of China, to support the construction of the 982-megawatt Agus-Pulangi hydro powerplant in Mindanao, according to the National Power Corp.
Napocor president Pio Benavidez said the government was looking at funding from the World Bank and development partners France, Australia and Japan.
“So it will be a multilateral loan. It’s no longer China,” Benavidez said.
“The World Bank would be joining other funding institutions covering multilateral funding. The role of the World Bank is to do a feasibility study on what are the options for Agus,” he said.
He said the government was looking at the options for the Agus-Pulangi hydro plant rehabilitation such as attaining the rated generation capacity, increasing the generation capacity by 10 percent and improving the water efficiency.
He said Napocor, the National Economic Development Authority and the Finance Department would study the best rehabilitation option for Agus-Pulangi power plants which were running at 40 percent of their rated capacity.
The Finance Department proposed the rehabilitation of the hydro plants before their privatization to increase the value of the facility.
“Once the rehab is completed, then it will be privatized. The value of the plant will go up. As of now, if you don’t rehabilitate, the value of the plant is low,” Benavidez said.
Meanwhile, Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III said the government made significant progress in the implementation of infrastructure projects financed by official development assistance from China.
Dominguez in a courtesy visit to China Vice President Wang Qishan updated him on the “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure projects, some of which are being implemented with funding support from China.
China-funded projects include two bridges that will help ease traffic in Metro Manila―the Binondo-Intramuros and Estrella-Pantaleon bridges which are being funded by a 397 million renminbi ($63.13 million) grant from China.
Dominguez also thanked China for providing concessional loan financing for the Chico River Pump Irrigation Project and the New Centennial Water Source-Kaliwa Dam project.
China extended a $62.09-million loan for the Chico river irrigation project and a $211.21-million loan for the construction of the Kaliwa Dam.
“We have been meeting with the Ministry of Commerce of China for the past two years, and we have made a lot of progress with our actual official development assistance relations with China,” Dominguez said during the meeting.

Federal government ignoring Toll Group’..
A senior trucking executive has not received a response from the federal government to his plan to reduce the nation’s road toll.
Toll Group Managing Director Michael Byrne sent an open letter to a number of organisations in January, calling on them to urgently address six critical areas – including a genuinely national approach to heavy vehicle regulation.
Mr Byrne tells Ray Hadley a key piece of road safety compliance technology is still being blocked due to a number of small groups “protecting their own interests”.
“Electronic work diaries have been debated for eight years and we still don’t have a decision.
“The government and the industry have been stuffing around with this for the best part of a decade.
Mr Bryne tells Ray he’s written to state and federal governments about the road toll crisis and has heard crickets. | 2019-04-26T06:39:11 | https://www.2gb.com/federal-government-ignoring-toll-groups-national-road-safety-plan/ |
