Hello! I’m Dannii. Your average, nearly 30, woman living in the UK, that has a passion for helping others to get healthy and happy. This blog is about the recipes, health and weight loss tips and exercises that helped me lose 98lbs and keep it off. I also post things about my day to day life so you can get a bit of an insight into the behind the scenes of Hungry Healthy Happy.
In 2008 I got the scare I needed to realise that something needed to change. I was having health problems, mainly heart related, due to my weight and it was affecting my life. I was only young, that should not of been happening to me. I shouldn’t have been missing out on all the things my friends were doing just because I couldn’t control what I was eating. I was an emotional eater, and that needed to change.
I started small. I cut out junk, processed foods and stopped getting takeaways. I gave up alcohol for 6 months (which really helped kick start the weight loss) and I started cooking everything from scratch. I had never really cooked before, I was just putting things in the oven, or turning the microwave on. I started buying fresh foods, some I had never tried or even heard of before. I changed the taste of things with herbs and spices, rather than covering it with fatty sauces and I discovered a love of cooking. I actually became pretty good at it. After 6 months of cooking more healthily and walking a little more, I had lost 40lbs. I hit a plateau at that point and I knew I had to kick it up a gear, and that meant exercise.
Again, I started slowly, as I knew that I couldn’t just head out and run a 5K. I got a Wii Fit and did some gentle yoga everyday. Not only was it stretching my muscles, ones I didn’t even know I had, but it was relaxing me too. It was great for my mental health and that was something that really helped with my emotional eating. I then started going swimming too. It is a gentle exercise that doesn’t put too much pressure on your joints, which is perfect if you are overweight, and it is a brilliant cardio workout. I moved out of the plateau and the weight started coming off again. I then needed more, so I started going to the gym, picked up a few workout classes with Zumba and step aerobics and with a LOT of hard work and dedication, I reached my goal in February 2011 – in time for my wedding in May. It wasn’t easy. There were times when I wanted to give up, and times when I did give up and ate too much, but I never let one bad day turn into a bad week. I always got straight back on the wagon. No matter how tough it got though, I always kept my goal in sight, and that was improved health. With each pound, I could breathe better. When I reached my goal, I felt amazing, like a different person.
The battle did not stop there. I have been maintaining since then (up and down a few lbs here and there) and I truly think that is the hardest part. I can never eat whatever I want all the time, as I will put on weight so much quicker than other people, because of how much I have lost. That doesn’t mean I don’t treat myself, I do, but I still have a structured exercise routine to burn it all off and I eat clean 95% of the time. The recipes on this site are all about healthier alternatives to the foods I love. So, healthier cakes, and healthier alternatives to takeaways play a big part.
I started this blog and the Facebook page back in June 2011. I wanted to help other people who are in the same situation. It isn’t just about weight loss, it is about making lifestyle changes so you can be healthier. That includes eating better and exercising more. This blog and the Facebook page keeps me on track with maintaining as well and it allows me to pass on all of the things I have learnt along the way. If you ever have anything to ask me, just head to the Facebook page and post on the wall or go to the contact section of this website.
Feel free to have a look around the website. You will find lots of recipes for healthier alternatives to the foods you love, blog posts, health and weight loss tips, exercises you can do at home, general news, products I love and even a 3 week beginner plan that I followed myself. If you are feeling a little bit overwhelmed and you don’t know where to start, then take a look at my general tips for beginners.
I get asked a lot of questions about my weight loss and what I did to lose weight, as well as general weight loss questions and I have answer them all here in the Frequently Answered Questions section of the blog – so take a read and it should answer everything you want to know. If not, click on the contact section of the blog in the menu and send me a message.
I’m not going to say it will be easy, but it WILL be worth it.
I am not a doctor, personal trainer, registered dietitian or any kind of health professional. I simply post what has worked for me and what continues to work for me and this should be used as a general guide to improving your health and fitness. It will not work for everyone and you should always consult your doctor first so you don’t cause yourself any harm.

This is one of the best places in Durham to come with friends and enjoy great, hard to find beer. Service has always been friendly and efficient, and their seasonal rotating taps make each trip there interesting. The restaurant and bar sides each have slightly different draft lists so be sure to stop by both.

I cannot vouch for the food, but the beer selection is really good for the Durham area. This Taproom is in the recently renovated Durham Tobacco District, which is right beside the home of the Durham Bulls baseball team (of Bull Durham fame). Cool location, helpful service, solid draught selection, can be a little bit noisy, good selection of Carolina sourced beer.

I love hate this place. Good for a beer before or after a Durham Bulls game, but the food mostly stinks and they NEVER update their tap list. Last night they had "rotational Sierra Nevada" and claimed they had monthly rotations of small-batch exclusive beers from SN... I asked and was told "pale ale" or "summer." Similar for their claims about other breweries. Really annoying. Wish Durham had a good beer bar. This isnít it.

Iíve been to the Speakeasy a few times -- great selection of beer on tap. Location canít be beat - very cool location in the American Tobacco District.

This place is great. Much more open than the Carrboro Tyler’s. There are many things that I prefer here over the Flying Saucer. For instance, all of the beers have their own serving glass, the food here is much better, and they focus on the quality of their selection rather than the quantity. I mean if you go to a bar that specializes in beer you shouldn’t expect fucking Bud Light to be on draft. My only hang up is the price, but if you aren’t hurting for cash, I’d say this is the place to go for beer.

Best Friends For Ever
"After the wedding was when Bella was to be changed. The frienship that began before we could remember was to be eternal. We would really be best friends forever." Amanda has been living with the Volturi for what seems like ages when she get an invitation to Bella's wedding. She returns to Forks, where she visits the werewolves (who now know her real secret), falls in love, and threatens the ballance of the vampire word. And that's jsut the stuff I'm willing to give away. *Sequel to "Best Friends Since Ever" and, in my opinion, much better than the first. **Rated Teen for mild swearing and bad pick up lines.
Don't forget to do the treasure hunt! (Check out my bio for more info). Also, I hope you like this. I really think it's going to be better than the first.
1. Book 1: The Invitation
Rating 5/5 Word Count 879 Review this Chapter
"Marvelous! Just Marvelous!" Aro clapped as I finished off my opponents. Demetri, Heidi, and Afton lay moaning on the other side of the room. "This time they only lasted 7.19 seconds. A personal best, I believe."
I smiled and bowed. "Thank you… Master." I tried not to spit the word. "Is that all?"
"I'd rather keep going, but I think you're out of opponents." I smirked as his eyes darted to vampires lounging in the seats above the training area. Everyone of them was nursing a different injury. "Same time tomorrow, though."
I nodded my head and backed out of the practice chamber. Unfortunately, I was intercepted on my way to my room.
"You're so beautiful, when I look at you, my heart could start bleeding." I tried not to gag at Felix's cheesy pick up line.
"What do you want Felix?" He was making a move for me, again. I swear Felix is the only vampire whose thirst for women was stronger then his thirst for blood.
"You." He looped his arms around me and pulled me close to him. Damn, he was strong. I couldn't pull away, and my powers were pretty useless when he was already this close.
"Bite me," I hissed glaring at him.
"That's actually a good idea. I bet you wouldn't mind my cool arms around you if you were burning on the inside." I hissed as he bared his teeth and bent closer to my neck. “Don’t be like that. I can tell that you want me.”
“You’re right, I want you to leave.”
“You’re so hot when you’re angry.” I didn’t realize it was possible, but he pulled me tighter to him. I struggled uselessly, trying break free. No, no, no, no….. His mouth was halfway to mine when we were interrupted by a disgruntled “ahem.”
Jane stood there, her cherubic face twisted by distaste. “If you two are quite finished, I have a letter for Amanda.” The disgust in her voice turned to agitation. She clearly did not appreciate being my messenger girl. The fact that I had replaced her as Aro’s favorite, and that he had ordered her not to hurt me, only added to her genral animosity. I snatched the letter before she could decide to “forget” about Aro’s decree.
“Thanks Jane. I better go read this…” I slid around Jane and dashed for my room. “See you guys later!” I added pleasantly, as if I was casually leaving a group of dear friends. It was safer to antagonize them than to let them smell fear, so to speak. Still, it wasn’t until I safely was in my room, with the door lacked, that I so much as glanced at the envelope. I noted with fury it was already torn. And post-marked days ago. How dare they read my mail! I would have continued to fume for several minutes had the corner of a thick, fancy invitation not caught my eye. I gasped when I pulled it out.
“Arooooooooo!” I called, racing back to the training room, imagining my self strait through the walls rather than wasting time going around them.
“Stop that racket, child.” Caius sneered when I burst into the room.
Aro calmed him with a wave of his hand. “What is it, dear one?”
I thrust the invitation into his hands, though I knew he had already seen it.
“What is this about?”
“Edward and Bella are getting married! And I-” I stopped. How could I make them understand?”
“And you what?”
“And I was invited.” I near-whispered dolefully. He raised his eyebrow.
“I… I think they’re getting married before… before he changes her. It would be… so nice... to see her again… before she was changed… and to get to see her wedding.” I tried to keep the longing to leave out of my voice; I needed to construct a more convincing argument. “It would give me a chance to make sure the deal was still in effect, and to..” I struggled, trying to make the words come together.”
“But of course, dear one!” We wouldn’t want you to miss your friend’s wedding!” I smiled gratefully at Aro. Say what you want about him being evil, manipulative, conniving, and gay (okay so that last one was mostly speculation, but still, I was determined to prove it was true) he still had some compassion.
“Thank you Master. Thank you so much. May I leave now? I’ll just make it in time if I can get flight out this afternoon…”
“Do whatever you need to.” He began to turn, but stopped. “Oh, and Amanda? I expect you back here in a week. Or else…” The last two words had none of the clichéd venom you would expect, yet somehow held twice the threat.
“Of course Master. Thanks you.” I could tell I was dismissed. I mentally packed as I returned to my room, both saving myself time and allowing me to focus my thoughts. It was a shame he had limited my visit to a week, well three days once you accounted for flight time. Still, any time away from the Volturi and with my friends is better than none at all. Oh well. I sighed as I entered my room and grabbed my now-packed bag. At least it’ll be a calm visit, if nothing else. What’s the worst that can happen? | <urn:uuid:98c8d3a4-8810-4b94-9e49-fdd4bf7e321d> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.twilightarchives.com/read/4595 | 2014-04-23T23:52:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223203841.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032003-00499-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985714 | 1,492 | [

Strategic Plan — Fiscal Years 2004–2009
Working For A Safer and More Secure America… Through Innovation and Partnerships
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives must protect the public against crime, violence, and other threats to public safety.

The ATF Strategic Planning Process relies on teamwork and effective communication to focus scarce resources on the global challenges facing America today. The FY 2004-2009 ATF Strategic Plan to address these challenges is based on long-term legislative mission mandates, customer and stakeholder input, and Presidential and Departmental priorities. The strategic plan and goals are developed by the ATF Strategic Leadership Team to establish the framework on which we develop and implement annual operating plans. The plan consists of three strategic goals representing Firearms, Explosives and Arson, and Alcohol and Tobacco. The format of this strategic plan is as follows:
- Strategic Goals — High level statements of what outcome is needed
- Objectives — Statements of what will be accomplished
- Tactics — Actions that will be taken to attain an objective
- Vision, Mission, and Values Statement
- Strategic Planning Process
- Strategic Goal 1: Prevent Violent Crime Involving Firearms
- Strategic Goal 2: Resolve and Prevent Explosives and Fire Related Crimes
- Strategic Goal 3: Prevent Illegal Domestic and International Trafficking of Alcohol and Tobacco Products | <urn:uuid:052ca81d-70f5-4643-8e58-0369ff295e21> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | https://www.atf.gov/publications/general/strategic-plan/2004-2009-strategic-plan.html | 2014-04-25T05:05:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223210034.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032010-00531-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.898769 | 442 | [

Robert Lee Helms (August 15, 1933–June 19, 1997)
Video: You are my Special Angel/ 1957:
1. Fraulein/ Decca 30194/ June 1957/ #36 #1 Country
2. My Special Angel/ Decca 30423/ September 1957/ #7 #1 Country (4)
3. Jingle Bell Rock/ Decca 30513/ December 1957/ #6 (re-released 1958/1960)
Bobby Helms, born Robert Lee Helms, (15 August 1933 – 19 June 1997) was an American Rockabilly singer who enjoyed his peak success in 1957.
Born in Bloomington, Indiana into a musical family, he began performing as a duo with his brother before going on to a successful solo career in Country music.
In 1956, Helms made his way to Nashville, Tennessee where he signed a recording contract with Decca Records. The following year would be filled with astonishing successes. Helms’ first single in 1957 titled “Fraulein” went to # 1 on the Country music charts and made it into the Top 40 on the PopM usic charts.
Later that same year he released “My Special Angel” that also went to # 1 on the Country charts and entered the Top 10 on Billboard magazines pop music charts, peaking at No. 7.
Released just a few days before Christmas of 1957, his song “Jingle Bell Rock” was a big hit but uniquely, it re-emerged four out of the next five years and sold so well that it repeated each time as a top hit and became a Christmas classic, still played to this day.
Bobby Helms continued touring and recording for the next three decades. His pioneering contribution to the genre has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
Helms spent most of his later years living just outside of Martinsville, Indiana, until the time of his death from emphysema and asthma in 1997. | <urn:uuid:a967e48f-a230-4f16-a850-cd211f6dd50b> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://strathdee.wordpress.com/2011/03/02/bobby-helms/ | 2014-04-17T10:00:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609527423.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005207-00043-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972565 | 414 | [

The following actions were taken at the March 13 meeting of the Silver Spring Township Board of Supervisors:
- Supervisors agreed to move this year’s fall festival to Stony Ridge Park following a presentation by the recreation advisory council. The festival has been historically held at the Willow Mill Park, where it drew 5,000 attendees in 2010. Parks and Recreation Director Jeff Williams, and Assistant Director Kristy Owens, however, said the event has outgrown the space, and Stony Ridge offers more room for growth. Stony Ridge Park offers approximately 350 parking spaces, plus an overflow space for more parking. The event is scheduled for Oct. 26.
- A matching grant application for Potteiger Park, in New Kingstown, was approved for submission to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Development plans include a perimeter walkway, picnic pavilion, and playground equipment, expecting to cost $95,000. The matching portion, Williams said, is available in the recreation fund.
- Supervisors also approved an application for a TreeVitalize grant for the planting of 20 trees at Stony Ridge Park in the fall. The cost is $1,220.
- Supervisors approved its township engineering firm, HRG, to conduct a review for traffic signal improvements at the Route 114 and Interstate 81 intersection—a notoriously dangerous area for travelers in the township. The cost for the review is $7,590.
- A lane restriction on Woods Drive, not to exceed two weeks, will begin March 18 as contractors work to install water lines for the Carmella community. The road reopened on Feb. 28 following several weeks of sewer work and related delays.
Cory Keen of Duncannon was sworn in as a Silver Spring Township police officer by Nancy Konhaus Griffie, supervisors' chairwoman.
- Cory Keen of Duncannon was sworn in by supervisor chairwoman Nancy Konhaus Griffie, as the newest officer on the Silver Spring Township police force. His parents attended the meeting, and Keen’s father had the honor of presenting him with his badge.
- Anthony Vallone was approved as the new Director of Planning and Development for the township, effective March 18 at a starting salary of $65,000 a year. A new administrative assistant, Corrina Chandler, also was appointed effective March 12, at a starting salary of $39,000; Township Manager Theresa Eberly said the position drew 125 applicants.
- Supervisors approved two new requirements to be added to the job description for a township public works laborer. Future appointed workers must obtain a CDL and pesticide license within six months of employment, and they must live within 15 miles of the township border.
- The township will add another $2,200 to its contract with auditor Zelenkofske Axelrod LLC, which requested the one-time adjustment because of extra time involved in dealing with changes in 2012 information.
- Supervisors agreed to establish a resolution that would list the volunteer Silver Springs Ambulance as the township’s primary ambulance provider, and the first to be dispatched through the county 911 system for medical emergencies in the township. The need for such a resolution stems from a number of independent, for-profit ambulance providers setting up business in the area.
- Supervisors also approved a deputy emergency management coordinator, Doug McDonald, and an assistant deputy, Robert Horning, to provide backup support to coordinator Jim Hall. | <urn:uuid:3692d18e-7ae4-4c02-9a6a-8d0c71cc9b86> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.pennlive.com/west-shore/index.ssf/2013/03/silver_spring_townships_popular_fall_festival_will_be_held_at_stony_ridge_park_this_year.html | 2014-04-17T09:46:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609527423.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005207-00043-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954373 | 699 | [

|GEORGIA||15 Electoral Votes|
Republicans' strong showing in Georgia in 2002, in which Gov. Roy Barnes and Sen. Max Cleland were defeated, set the stage for 2004. Adding insult to injury for the Democrats, Sen. Zell Miller emerged as perhaps the most prominent Democrat for Bush, delivering an excoriating speech at the Republican National Convention and stumping around the country with President Bush. On the Democratic side former Sen. Max Cleland did yeoman work for the Kerry campaign. Georgia received a smattering of visits from the principals, many of which were tied to fundraisers.
The Kerry campaign did have a couple of official but not compensated representatives leading the Georgia effort, and grassroots Democratic activists mobilized to go door to door, man phone banks, and organize events. "People were not willing to give up," stated Kerry-Edwards communications director Caroline Adelman in a post-election interview. "There were people who really thought Kerry could win Georgia,"1 she said. The most active group was Kerry Win Georgia, "a totally grassroots Volunteer organization" based in Atlanta that grew out of the Meetups. In more conservative Marietta, activists Sander Bellman and Frieda Smith formed a group called East Cobb Citizens for Kerry/Edwards.
1. Activist Debra Vidali in Atlanta produced a flyer posted on the Kerry Win Georgia website titled "Georgia is a Swing State" which noted that, "In 2000, Bush beat Gore in Georgia by 303,490 votes...But most of Georgia did not vote!!!" She noted that in 2000 Georgia had the third lowest turnout in the nation; more than 1.3 million registered voters did not vote. Pointing to that fact and to newly registered voters, Vidali argued "When democrats vote, democrats win."

Feeling guilty lately?
I certainly am.
Not because i haven’t unpacked the last boxes of our big move to our new flat (Pics to come), but the enormous amount of indulgence in sugar that i have consumed with the stress of it all …
Not just for convenience sake either. I’ve been really craving. For anyone who has been following me lately on my Twitter @wbites i have been noting my bad habits and today i noticed it had gotten too far.
“It’s bad to eat M&M’s for breakfast. but they do have peanuts in. and people have peanut butter/Nutella on toast. I’m really trying here…”
So i am stood in my bedroom unpacking remaining boxes, nibbling M&M’s (other sweets are available), and whilst trying to work out the Feng Shui of it all…there was the guilt. Hit me all at once. If i can Feng Shui my bedroom, i really should be doing it to my internal body. Then there was @KymGertLush tweeting about how good she felt after the gym this morning, good endorphins and what not, so i just had to put dowwwnn the M&M’ssss and GET OUT; like the glass in the F.R.I.E.N.D.S episode when Phoebe tries to get Monica over Richard.
So a counterbalance was in order. The brighter the food the better it is for you. Then i had thought. M&M’s were bright. This is where someone needed to slap me.
The first is classical; Insalata Tricolore, my husband Rob’s absolute favourite. Although the mozzarella and avocado combo is not completely good for the waistline, use less and add salad greens like i did to make it a very nutritious lunch; full of potassium, B-vitamins and Folic Acid. This was Rob’s plate i made..avocado, fresh baby tomatoes, silky mini buffalo mozzarella, balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. The best you can get.
My favourite salad of late must be however, my
Fresh Spinach, Sweetcorn, Cucumber and Fried Halloumi with a Garlic, lemon and Tarragon dressing.
For the dressing: put one garlic clove, the juice of half of a lemon and two strands of fresh Tarragon into a mortar and pestle and grind to a paste.
Pour 100ml of olive oil into the paste and leave to infuse.
Fry your Halloumi in thick slices in a flat skillet with no oil, until brown on either side whilst you prep the rest of your salad ingredients.
Mix a bunch of Spinach with chopped cucumber and freshly boiled – off the cob sweetcorn and drizzle over half the dressing. Mix well.
Place your Halloumi and pour over the remaining dressing.
Sharp, tangy and sweet, with excellent textures of crunch from the sweetcorn and cucumber with the chewy Halloumi and Spinach.
Now for cake. | <urn:uuid:2b5af177-4670-49df-ba77-9ea650153704> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://wutheringbites.co.uk/2012/06/13/counterbalance-salad/ | 2014-04-21T07:14:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609539665.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005219-00139-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.930391 | 667 | [

Cai Vail (USA) - Spark, 2014 Drawings: Ink, Watercolors, +Digital
Followers! This week has left me feeling really sideswiped, deflated, and tender, but I need to rally for an important and possibly-future-employment-gaining-but-totally-in-Spanish-and-outside-my-comfort-zone dinner tonight!
So tell me, all: What do you do to re-puff yourself after being seriously knocked for a loop? How do you restore yourself to your typical kick-ass status quo? I’m feeling bummed and disappointed all over the place and I need a confidence boost, stat.
Vienna State Opera by Christoph Sevcnikar
The building was the first major building on the Vienna Ringstraße commissioned by the Viennese “city expansion fund”. Work commenced on the building in 1861 and was completed in 1869, following plans drawn up by architects August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll. It was built in the Neo-Renaissance style.
The Ministry of the Interior had commissioned a number of reports into the availability of certain building materials, with the result that stones long not seen in Vienna were used, such as Wöllersdorfer Stein, for plinths and free-standing, simply-divided buttresses, the famously hard stone from Kaisersteinbruch, whose colour was more appropriate than that of Kelheimerstein, for more lushly decorated parts. The somewhat coarser-grained Kelheimerstein (also known as Solnhof Plattenstein) was intended as the main stone to be used in the building of the opera house, but the necessary quantity was not deliverable. Breitenbrunner stone was suggested as a substitute for the Kelheimer stone, and stone from Jois was used as a cheaper alternative to the Kaiserstein. The staircases were constructed from polished Kaiserstein, while most of the rest of the interior was decorated with varieties of marble.
The decision was made to use dimension stone for the exterior of the building. Due to the monumental demand for stone, stone from Sóskút, widely used in Budapest, was also used. Three Viennese masonry companies were employed to supply enough masonry labour: Eduard Hauser (still in existence today), Anton Wasserburger and Moritz Pranter. The foundation stone was laid on 20 May 1863.
No Rest for the Wicked— Lykke Li
…I love her.
Forget about Mona Lisa the 2D painting, Zaria Forman, a New York based artist, created these amazing 3D paintings by using waves of thick paint for the creation of water and icebergs. These paintings are based on Greenlands icebergs and mountains and she made them for her late mother.
In the first image you see Zaria working on creating the icebergs on a half finished canvas.
Did you know that Brigitte Bardot has been fined five times for inciting racial hatred?
In her 1999 book Le Carré de Pluton (“Pluto’s Square”), Bardot criticizes the procedure used in the ritual slaughter of sheep during the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha. Additionally, in a section in the book entitled, “Open Letter to My Lost France”, Bardot writes that “my country, France, my homeland, my land is again invaded by an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims”. For this comment, a French court fined her 30,000 francs in June 2000. She had been fined in 1997 for the original publication of this open letter in Le Figaro and again in 1998 for making similar remarks. In her 2003 book, Un cri dans le silence (“A Scream in the Silence”), she warned of an “Islamicization of France”, and said of Muslim immigration:
Over the last twenty years, we have given in to a subterranean, dangerous, and uncontrolled infiltration, which not only resists adjusting to our laws and customs but which will, as the years pass, attempt to impose its own.
In the book, she also contrasted her close gay friends with today’s homosexuals, who “jiggle their bottoms, put their little fingers in the air and with their little castrato voices moan about what those ghastly heteros put them through” and that some contemporary homosexuals behave like “fairground freaks”.… [She was fined again in 2004 and 2008 for more anti-Muslim remarks]
Like what, I didn’t even realize she was still alive… | <urn:uuid:50ec0556-d765-4d61-8d45-d5ac1113eaa5> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://oxalaoxala.tumblr.com/ | 2014-04-24T04:15:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223205137.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032005-00171-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955591 | 974 | [

Missouri's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose slightly during April to 4.0% from a 3.8% level in March, marking the first time Missouri has reached 4% unemployment since 1998. This rate is 0.7 percentage points higher than April of 2000. The national unemployment rate rose 0.2% points to 4.5% in April 2001 from 4.3% in March. Four of Missouri's neighboring states had lower unemployment rates during the past month. These include Iowa (2.7%), Oklahoma (3.0%), Nebraska (3.0%), and Kansas (3.5%).
Unemployment levels are not distributed evenly across Missouri, with pockets of high unemployment persisting in several areas (county-level rates are not seasonally adjusted). Counties with the highest levels of unemployment continue to be clustered in three main regions: (1) Southeast Missouri; (2) the Lake of the Ozarks; and (3) north central Missouri along U.S. Highway 36. Twelve counties had unemployment rates that were 7.0% or higher. Those with the highest rates include Macon (9.8%), Wayne (9.6%), Reynolds (9.3%), Stone (9.3%), Mississippi (8.3%), Douglas (7.9%), Pemiscot (7.9%), and Hickory (7.8%).
Conversely, there are several pockets of very low unemployment, scattered throughout the state, mainly in metropolitan areas. Thirteen counties had unemployment rates that were lower than 3.0%: Boone (1.4%), Nodaway (1.6%), Platte (2.1%), Cole (2.3%), Clay (2.5%), Cass (2.6%), Atchison (2.7%), Green (2.7%), Callaway (2.7%), St. Charles (2.8%), Perry (2.8%), Barton (2.9%), and Clinton (2.9%). | <urn:uuid:f9f71d7f-b782-428c-ae54-599b2e8a77fa> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.missourieconomy.org/indicators/unemp/unemp-apr2001.stm | 2014-04-24T04:40:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223205137.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032005-00171-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95219 | 401 | [

Even if you haven't played it before, there's a decent chance you've seen Plague Inc. around the internet. Usually, it involves seeing a screenshot that informs you your mom has killed thousands of people. If you've ever wondered how you—yes, you!—can also create silly-named diseases that annihilate Earth's population with your Android phone, the answer has arrived! Go here, download the game, then spend 15 minutes staring at the screen trying to come up with something clever. Fair warning: "BieberFever" has already been done to death.
Of course, there is actually a game part to this game. The action is rather slow-going at first, but that's the point. Tensions build. For your first run, you create a disease and pick where it will initially be contracted. From there, you slowly acquire DNA points which you can spend on mutations and new abilities for your disease. These can range from symptoms like coughs, to resistances to heat, cold, or other conditions. All for the sake of ensuring your disease survives longer and infects more people.
The game is free in the Play Store now.
Curiously, it seems to only be supported on tablets. Even our Galaxy Nexii (on a variety of carriers) weren't supported. Nothing in the description officially says it's only for slates, though, so take a look. Perhaps you'll get lucky. Update: the issue has been rectified - Plague Inc. is available for phones now.
And, of course, you can see it coming a mile away: in-app purchases are available to speed up the process of unlocking new mutations and abilities, but it's not necessary in order to play the game. So grab it now and have fun killing all humans! | <urn:uuid:3df74a41-01f9-4db2-82d2-954f2be4b010> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/10/04/plague-inc-has-arrive-on-android-now-your-ios-buddies-arent-the-only-ones-who-can-infect-the-world-with-deadly-diseases/ | 2014-04-17T13:45:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609530131.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005210-00379-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965752 | 368 | [

An aptly named sextet-three musicians from Israel, the others from Argentina, Mexico and Cuba, and they play lots of uneventful vamps. The preponderance of one-chord tunes, peppy Latin rhythms and Cohen's history of playing bass with Chick Corea's groups might suggest this album is a Corea offshoot. To the contrary, Cohen is only a modestly melodic composer and his arrangements are fussy, with long static sections and occasional overdubbed group vocals. This time the leader plays piano, mostly in the Latin-band rhythm section; he is also the principal soloist, improvising rhythmic figures and some overdubbed electric bass. Several of the songs are in odd meters, yet Cohen's accompaniments, bassist Yagil Baras' downbeats and Antonio Sanchez's bright, eighth-note-centered drumming make most of the album at least sound Latin-there is, though, the one nonoriginal, the ballad "A Child Is Born."
Good musicians make this music lively. Horn solos are mostly brief, with trumpeter Diego Urcola most prominent; he plays a post-Tom Harrell flugelhorn solo in the ballad "Float" and in a subdued Latin-band style elsewhere. Saxophonist Yosvany Terry also reflects Latin-band bravura, while trombonist Avi Lebovich invents attractive jazz phrases. Instead of solos, there are horn chases in "To the Love" and "Vamp"; in the latter, the players toss motives around and develop them nicely. | <urn:uuid:69e71a2c-9b51-4aae-be78-5fe81ec71d90> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://jazztimes.com/articles/12706-unity-avishai-cohen-with-the-international-vamp-band | 2014-04-18T20:53:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609535095.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005215-00411-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.943514 | 330 | [

The Libertarian Party UK is relatively new, having only been founded at the start of 2008. According to Wikipedia it has 500 members. In the context of New Zealand, which has been running far longer, and has more members, LPUK as it seeks to be known, is truly embryonic.
It has ran a couple of candidates in recent local elections and by-elections, and is solely represented by Gavin Webb, a councillor on the Stoke-On-Trent City Council. This is because Webb defected from the Liberal Democrats.
OK, so it's small.
How does it describe itself? "The Libertarian Party UK is a minarchist party utilising political philosophy based on support for individual liberty" is what was said on its press release announcing Webb has defected. Minarchist means "a political ideology which maintains that the state's only legitimate function is the protection of individuals from aggression". All very well then.
However, do the policies match this?
Well um, only in part.
Monetary policy is more promising, supporting the Gold standard and free banking.
It is rather limp wristed on quangoes, seeking to make them into departments if they have statutory powers. A better approach would be to go through them and see if any are consistent with the core role of the state, if not then abolish.
However, LPUK would eliminate the statutory minimum wage, which was only introduced under Labour since 1997.
Health policy has low ambitions, seeking competition and a transition to an insurance based model, with no sale of state assets. Far better would be to allow people to opt out of the NHS, give them back their national insurance and then move the NHS to an insurance model that people can opt out of altogether.
Education policy looks like the Conservative one of moving to a voucher based system, but no notion of user pays for the tertiary sector. After all, if income tax is to be abolished then surely this offers greater opportunity for students to finance education from future earnings, and the voluntary sector.
Defence and energy policy is mixed too. Defence is all very well, except armed neutrality as well as remaining a member of NATO. Quite simply incompatible. Either you have allies or you don't. Armed neutrality would have meant the UK conceding continental Europe to the Nazis. By contrast, energy policy is to leave it all to the market, which is welcome.
Welfare policy appears to endorse retaining the welfare state, with most of the policies being about winding back dependency. Far simpler transitions would be to state that non-British citizens could no longer apply for welfare, abolish all welfare for those above the "poverty line" and declare a date after which new applications would welfare would no longer be accepted. Weaning people off of state pensions over time makes sense, but again this might need a little more to it.
Housing and planning policy is perhaps most disappointing. Reviewing planning laws rather than abolishing them. No mention of private property rights. Most disturbing is "ensuring local populations have a strong voice in planning decision making". Nothing libertarian about that at all!
Transport policy is about meddling, with detailed nonsense about seat-belt laws (leave that up to road owners), but OPPOSING "non-freight vehicles" being charged for road use. Taxpayer funded roads are not exactly libertarian either.
Law and order is more promising. Plenty about rolling back intrusions of the state into personal freedoms, legalisation of drugs for adult use and decriminalisation of adult prostitution. Significant steps to legalise ownership of weapons for self defensive purposes. Much detail about the role of the Police.
Finally, Constitutional Policy has some useful gems, such as abolishing the TV licence, Human Rights Act, withdrawal from the EU, and "regionalising" legislation so that MPs from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland could not vote on legislation that is about matters devolved to their local executives. There is a fair bit about transparent lobbying and only allowing individuals to donate to political parties, which seems almost irrelevant if you don't deal with the more serious issues like - abolishing or reforming the House of Lords and creating a written constitution. Supporting electoral reform is all very well, but unless the system is reformed to eliminate the elected dictatorships on individual rights, it will do little good.
SO all in all a bit of a mish mash. What is lacking is the selling of principles. Principles like private property rights and the individual freedom to act as you see fit, as long as you respect the rights of others. Such fundamental concepts that should be easy to sell to more than 500 people in the UK.
That was the view taken by myself and three of the most libertarian men in the UK (all kiwis) when we visited the South-East Branch of the Libertarian Party meeting the other evening. There was much nodding of heads in agreement, but maybe a classic English lack of passion and lack of willingness to be fired up and argumentative about individual liberty. I had to leave early, but the conclusion I got was there was some good intentions, just not the "fire in the belly" to argue convincingly with the "statist quo".
After all, it isn't about getting elected, especially in a First Past the Post system - it is about ideas, and about changing the terms of the debate. The other minor parties trying to do this are the Greens, which clearly proudly sit on principles (because they are often mainstream today), UKIP (which is anti-EU for reasons of nationalist state sovereignty not individual freedom) and the BNP (which is a bunch of inept racist state worshippers).
It should be about saying NO to those seeking to bribe voters by spending more of their own money or promising new laws for this or that. It should be about making your terms ones of individual rights and for politicians to argue why they should take those rights away or spend your money, rather than to argue about what rights to take away and how to spend it.
I doubt the Libertarian Party will have a candidate in my electorate, although if so, I would likely vote for him or her after asking a few basic questions. However, it is clear LPUK is far from being a compelling electoral grouping at present.
The leader, Chris Mounsey, has a blog called the Devil's Kitchen, which isn't half bad, though I hadn't notice it till today. So that will be worth watching.
The other major libertarian outlet in the UK is the non-political (as in not a party) Libertarian Alliance. It has a blog too, but its utterings are largely ignored as well (and LPUK members I spoke to had no time for the LA).
Dare I have the audacity to say that a bit of Ayn Rand might do them both some good? | <urn:uuid:1da9d339-b779-48a6-a37e-b9ad17679acc> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://libertyscott.blogspot.com/2010/04/uk-election-2010-libertarian-party-uk.html | 2014-04-18T20:46:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609535095.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005215-00411-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971514 | 1,396 | [

Another reliable way to beat the spread: Find the teams with massive turnover totals. Eli Manning's Giants have turned over the ball an unholy number of times, but everything in sports and life deviates toward the mean – especially when teams are mediocre rather than outright bad. And remember to bet on teams with erratic offenses rather than solid defenses. It is more likely that a bad offense gets away with a few fumbles and potential interceptions than that a great defense suddenly forgets how to do the job.

After having won cinegoers' hearts in all of her films so far, Mugdha is now equally in demand in the ad fraternity too. After endorsing leading FMCG products, the latest one to be added in her kitty is the health major Herbalife. That's what the market is buzzing about.
When we spoke to the publicity manager of Mugdha, she refused to comment on this endorsement. The official announcement about the same is awaited. | <urn:uuid:60289335-04ca-4fb7-82f9-ca2d50ab2db9> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://entertainment.oneindia.in/bollywood/gupshup/2010/mugdha-godse-herbalife-101110.html | 2014-04-21T11:04:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609539705.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005219-00475-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961192 | 95 | [

A San Jose man who entered a vehicle that was parked in a Home Depot parking lot in Morgan Hill with a sleeping driver inside earlier this week has been arrested, according to police.
Morgan Hill officers were dispatched on a report of suspicious activity at the Home Depot at 860 E. Dunne Ave. on Wednesday, police said today.
When they arrived, the officers say they were told that while the victim was sleeping inside with the key in the ignition, Brian Lowery, 35, entered the vehicle.
When the victim told Lowery to get out, the suspect allegedly told the victim he was hiding from police.
Lowery got out and was last seen meeting up with a 28-year-old Gilroy woman, Monica Meledrez, police said.
Within minutes, both Meledrez and Lowery were detained nearby.
Police say they determined Lowery had a shaved ignition key and was under the influence of a controlled substance.
Meledrez was also allegedly under the influence of a controlled substance and in possession of a stolen property from a prior Gilroy burglary. Both suspects were arrested.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the Morgan Hill Police Department at (408) 779-2101 or the anonymous tip line at

The weekly Roundup of articles written by our mutual Chromebook enthusiasts friends on their respective blogs or over at the giants of industry. Definitely not all of what’s been written out there, but at least what I think is noteworthy.
It’s a little bit of a catch-up this time around since the whole thing with fighting off the lords of spam did put a bit of a dent into the otherwise flawless record of two straight weeks of weekly roundups. Fortunately not much happened.
Feel free to add any articles you miss in the comments. Thank you in advance, I really appreciate the time you take out of your busy day doing so.
Signs that the new Chromebooks will be a faster machines are definitely looking more positive. Over at CNET Stephen Shankland writes about Google making an important tell tale contribution to the Linux operating system. That contribution makes it possible for Linux to run on Cougar Point and Panther Point, Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge, respectively. Both are Intel processors which will do much better then the current Atom-based processors.
Chrome OS beta channel received an updated recently which enables Chromebooks to open MS Office files without an internet connection. We will soon see this in a stable release, making this feature available to all Chromebook users. more..
Next to the already well known Acer and Samsung Chromebook models we can expect there to be a third choice coming soon. Sony insiders have released specs and e few photographs of the new model. For short: 11.6 inch, 1.2 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, 16 GB storage and 8 hour battery life. PCMAG also wrote about it talking about how the FCC leaked information about it. So far it sounds a lot like the current Series 5 model by Samsung. But we all liked that, so Sony might have a popular model on it’s hands. more.. | <urn:uuid:f01dfff5-8f8e-4ed2-9d69-694ea3778977> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.chromebookhq.com/weekly-roundup-chromebook-articles-you-should-read/ | 2014-04-24T06:26:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223205375.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032005-00507-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.944575 | 378 | [

Avid bird-watcher writes about discoveries
Published: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 at 11:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 at 11:45 a.m.
In the late 1800s, the Houma resident who would later become clerk of Terrebonne courts, Edwin Clarence Wurzlow, submitted articles about wild birds and their eggs to national magazines like “The Ornithologist and Oologist.”
One of them, entitled “Sketches from Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana,” By E.C.W., was published in December 1885.
Wurzlow's observations began simply, in his own backyard near downtown Houma. At the time, Wurzlow, like many young men his age, was an avid “oologist,” a collector of birds eggs.
“A pair of little Screech Owls, last Spring, made their residence in my pigeon house. I visited the house April 6th, and, as I looked through the door, perceived a pair of yellow eyes staring at me from the darkness within.
“I removed their owner, a female little Screech Owl, who was complacently sitting in a Pigeon's nest. I liberated her, and appropriated the eggs; the usual complement of four.
“Those versatile songsters, the Mockingbirds, build their nests in forest, field and town, at altitudes between two and fifteen feet. The Mockingbird's breeding season begins about the 15th of March, but this year, owing to a late Spring, I did not observe a clutch of eggs until April 6th.
“Contemporary with the Mockingbirds in season of breeding are the House Wrens. I observed the first completely fledged young of this species this year on the 9th of April.
“These Wrens breed here in profusion; and they are not particular as to where they build their nests, for I have found them breeding in woodland stumps, mortices in fence posts, old cattle skulls, and two of my friends, not given to oological inquiry, have found a nest apiece in the pockets of their respective coats which hung, unused, on pegs in their rooms.
“The Maryland Yellowthroat, that vivacious little member of our avi-fauna, finds the blackberry bushes a secure place to fix its nest in. A walk through a patch of berry bushes in April, May and June, before the berry pickers are abroad, will certainly startle some from their briery retreat. “Make an opening in the side of this dome-shaped berry bush from whence our bird has flown, and there, surely, if that is not a pretty nest, and if our bird has no idea of esthetics, it is capable of accidentally arriving at wonderful results in the harmonious arrangement of forms and colors.
“The Purple Martins, every year, take possession as a habitation, of the projecting ledges of the capitals, over the columns, of the court house gallery, in the town of Houma.”
This would have been the court house building which was replaced by the present structure.
“Here, every season, two or three successive broods of young are raised by each pair. Sometimes the town boys of the neighborhood wickedly assault them with missiles; but the space between the ledges and the gallery ceiling being only four or five inches, the nests do not suffer much damage.
“Those who esteem the Martins here, every Spring prepare gourds and erect them on poles, which are readily occupied.
“The Blue Yellow-backed Warbler and the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher are two species of our principal breeding birds; but their nests are difficult to discover on account of the exuberance of moss and foliage of our trees, amongst which these birds breed.
“Least Bitterns are very numerous in our swamps and bayous. They are commonly known here by the less euphonious name of Cap Cap. While inspecting a deserted Heronry (group nesting site) last May, I started a Least Bittern from one of the old nests. I examined the nest and found therein its four eggs.
“Purple Gallinules breed among the rushes of our bayous and swamps, principally during May and June. The young of this beautiful aquatic bird, when unfledged, resemble young turkeys. They follow their mother, walking on the grassy surface of the water, in her wanderings in search of crayfish, snails, etc.
“A pair of Yellow-billed Cuckoos built a nest in our orchard last July. This nest, a lining of moss resting on a few sticks, was situated in the topmost fork of a Fig tree branch, eleven feet from the ground. Alas! the luscious figs that studded every branch of the tree, even immediately over the Cuckoo's nest, began ripening before the female had finished depositing her eggs, and the frequent visits we paid the tree in search of fruit caused the luckless pair to abandon their nest, leaving two eggs at our mercy.”
E.C. Wurzlow served as clerk of court until his death and was followed by Randolph Bazet, the immediate predecessor of the current office holder, I. Robert “Bobby” Boudreaux.

Homeless Pet Clubs
Homeless Pet Clubs (HPC) is an adjunct organization of The Homeless Pets Foundation (HPF), which was created in 1998 by Dr. Michael Good, an Atlanta, Georgia veterinarian, to save homeless pets. Dr. Good founded the 501 (c) (3) nonprofits to help animal shelters adopt-out more pets. Dr. Good wants to help these animals find loving, forever homes. His mantra, "We want to save them all!"
HPF provides critical medical care, food, foster care, and comfort to homeless animals. The organization also maintains a network of communication between volunteers, shelters, advocates, and potential adoptees, leveraging volunteer enthusiasm and technology to save lives. Since late in 2002, HPF and HPC have placed nearly 10,000 animals in loving homes.
How it Started
In 2010, HPF created Homeless Pet Clubs (HPC), to give students, civic leaders, and business owners the opportunity to share their love of animals by promoting animal rescue, responsible pet ownership, adoption of shelter animals, and animal welfare.
"We want children to learn to be kind to living things; be kind to animals and be kind to each other," says Dr. Michael Good, who founded both organizations.
Response to the school, businesses, and civic clubs has been overwhelming, with each club choosing pets to "sponsor" and promote for adoption. In just one Georgia county alone, more than 50 school clubs were established in three months' time, and their support helped find loving, forever homes for more than 200 animals. Teachers lead the charge for the school clubs, and report benefits to students including:
increased enthusiasm for learning
improved social skills
heightened sense of achievement
expanded awareness of networking for good
increased creativity and cooperation
It's fun, FREE, and effective!
HPC gives animal lovers from diverse backgrounds a way to leverage different strengths to save the greatest number of at-risk animals. Schools, businesses, and civic clubs share their love of animals by participating in:
telling the story of their sponsored pets via facebook, emails, and posters
volunteering at adoption events
raising funds to support their local shelter and club
Working together, school, business, and civic clubs build on their love of animals and ultimately foster a love of community that transcends social status.

Stokes raring to go
New Celtic striker Anthony Stokes is hopeful he will make his debut against Hearts this weekend.
Last Updated: 06/09/10 6:22pm
New Celtic striker Anthony Stokes is hopeful he will make his debut against Hearts in the SPL this weekend.
The Republic of Ireland international signed a four-year deal with the Hoops from Hibernian on transfer deadline day for a reported £1.2million.
Manager Neil Lennon has signed Stokes to give the team a more clinical approach up front, and Stokes was confident he could fulfil his manager's wishes by finding the net on his debut should he play.
"The gaffer just wants goals," Stokes said on Celtic's official website.
"He just said to me to do what I did at Hibs, stay in the box and get on the end of things, and it's up to me to put him in a position where I have to play.
"I know that at a club like Celtic there's competition all over the pitch.
"It's down to me to do well in training and force the gaffer into a decision.
"I've been watching Celtic this season and obviously it has been very disappointing in Europe but three wins so far and three clean sheets in the league, it couldn't really have gone much better.
"The international break has been good in a way because it gave me another match to get fit for the Hearts game, but I would rather be going straight into training.
"I know the main thing for me is to keep my head down, work my socks off and get myself in the team, and I'm sure the goals will take care of themselves after that." | <urn:uuid:5eb387f9-ba68-4c65-8aed-7b5d59184479> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11781/6362760/ | 2015-07-02T08:25:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095423.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00003-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983693 | 354 | [

Michael DeForge wants you to know that comics aren’t just for kids anymore.
The cover of DeForge’s Incinerator is a bland desecration of comics past. Snoopy’s instantly recognizable backside suffers a decontextualizing detournment, transformed into a torso for the wrong bald-headed kid walking through a typically scrungy alt comics landscape, his tail a bulbous, inexpressive phallus between legs lifted with jaunty incongruity above the junk and debris. Bleak plant-like and rock-like globs ooze at stochastic intervals, the stripped-down iconic style suggesting the world of Peanuts determinedly uglified by underground grunge.
The adultification, not to say adulteration, of Peanuts is a familiar alt-comics trope. Chris Ware and Dan Clowes tend to try to capture Schulz’s rhythms and then layer on sex, drugs, scat, and other supposed markers of maturity. DeForge, refreshingly, goes for a more blatant approach.
The sad, anatomically challenged amalgamation is set upon by a gang of college students; weaponized maturity mugs the beloved icon of childhood,leaving it groaning in a ditch. The torso has to be taken to a vet while the rest of the sorry creature goes to a hospital. Separated, the beagle body dies, leaving only that bald-headed kid, suffused with pathos.
Rather than the Schulz’s grass-level camera, we’re here treated to a crazy look down; a god’s eye view if god were stuck up there with the knick-knacks on the teetering top of a bookshelf. Or, perhaps, we’re looking down at the comics page itself; the sophisticated adults with the book of childhood spread out before us, distant and oddly angled, too small to fall into. We stroke our chin with the analyst in the chair, seeing the mundane neuroses in the formerly fanciful images.
The de-beagled hero goes through his alt comics paces, attending group therapy, reveling in nostalgia for the comic icons of his childhood,
participating in a tender romance. On the final page, the beagle torso, like all those childhood pamphlets, is chucked in an incinerator. The image before it burns is of the girlfriend in dominatrix garb whipping the naked protagonist as he barks. The innocent goofiness of childhood is chucked for sexual perversion. Get rid of that doofy tale and you can see the penis which was hidden there all along.
It’s certainly possible to see this as an absurdist Fort Thunder satire of the alt-comics and underground obsession with Peanuts, with being grown up, and with the conflation of the two — artsy hipster tripped out weirdos mocking the differently literal immature maturities of Chris Ware and R. Crumb. But it’s also possible to see Incinerator as a kind of avuncular celebration of those immature maturities; a humorous, self-aware, nostalgia for other folks’ nostalgia, and for the role it’s played in the development of comics past.
Growing up, trying new things, is energizing. The Rorschach-blot-feces lunch forms an interesting pattern, it’s very repulsiveness an ironic attraction. Adulthood is still what’s on offer, but an adulthood less bleakly blank than Ware’s or Clowe’s, in no small part because it sees Ware and Clowes as comfortingly familiar predecessors. Thus, adulthood here means building on Schulz’s absurdity (and Clowes’ and Ware’s) rather than on his (or their) existential despair. It means using Peanuts, and Peanuts’ successors, as visual tropes rather than as a blueprint. Adulthood becomes an at least intermittently pleasing agglomeration; lack of integration, the loss of the coherent circumscribed world of childhood, becomes its own pleasure. The lost thing provokes not just nostalgia, but joy at the missing piece. If Lacan’s child looks in the mirror and feels celebratory at the illusory image of an integrated self, DeForge’s adult looks at the comic and feels celebratory at the illusory image of a haphazard collage cyborg, the aging self as bits and pieces of one’s own past.
Part of that delightful adult collage, it seems, is the image of a woman. One of the female college students in the crowd at the beginning of the story later becomes our protagonist’s rom/com, Jeff Brown sweetie, and finally his dominating mistress.
That flaccid arm across her shoulder contrasts with the cruel, stark phallic trees framing the hearts which seem less like a vibrant expression of love than like de rigeur filligree tacked up to the moire background. This is not a story, but the garbled image of a story; not love but the parodic potency of recognizing parodic lack of potency. The girlfriend, as marauder or sweetie or dominatrix, never speaks. Unlike Schulz’s Lucy, or Sally, or Marcy, or Peppermint Patty, she has no tale of her own. The protagonist’s self is the past, but the woman’s self is simply image, signalling various comfortably denuded narratives of coherence: teen rebellion, love, sex. The silent, faceless Snoopy is discarded, the silent, many-faced female is picked up with new arms. The one coherent attribute of adulthood is a recognition of absurdity. All the rest, no matter how soaked in sentiment — be it comics, woman, torso, or heart — is just a part of the caducous bricolage. | <urn:uuid:9ee06b00-255d-4454-b8e5-d9373dff0056> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.hoodedutilitarian.com/2013/11/youre-a-dismembered-meme-charlie-brown/ | 2015-07-04T11:49:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096706.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00253-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.920053 | 1,241 | [

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Education Through Music, Inc., New York, NY, USA
I am a teacher/dean at One World Middle School where ETM has worked with our students throughout the year. The students have really flourished and have grown tremendously. For many students, this was the first time they were exposed to music and what a joy! This experience for our students has been a great one and we hope we have an opportunity to establish a long lasting relationship with them in the future.

FM rebroadcast receiver
Aaron 650 operates in either a composite pass-through or composite-regeneration mode. Composite pass-through eliminates retransmission delay (latency), and composite-regeneration lends the ability to completely reconstruct your baseband signal, even altering RDS messaging prior to rebroadcast. The back panel provides dual antenna inputs, dual composite outputs, balanced analog and AES-digital audio outputs, and remote IP access. Rear-panel and self-logging alarms constantly check for audio loss, RF loss, and RDS loss (or hijacking). Online notifications can alert personnel with e-mail or instant text messages when any of the alarms occur. The front panel displays left and right audio metering, local LED alarms and has an LCD screen with jog wheel for advanced control and editing of all operating parameters. Failover audio backup is provided via a front-panel SD Card or web-stream should your signal go down.

Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- The biggest U.S. media companies asked the U.S. Supreme Court to rule Aereo Inc., which provides broadcast signals to online viewers, is an illegal operation.
Walt Disney Co., 21st Century Fox Inc., Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal, CBS Corp., Univision Communications Inc., the Public Broadcasting Service and station WNET, and Tribune Co.- owned New York station WPIX filed the petition today with the court after litigation in lower courts failed to stop Aereo.
Aereo, backed by Barry Diller, threatens $3 billion in fees that broadcast station owners will receive this year from pay-TV systems to provide signals to subscribers. Aereo uses thousands of small antennas to capture free over-the-air signals and transmits those to paying subscribers over the Internet. If allowed, pay-TV systems could offer their own work-around to avoid paying so-called retransmission fees.
“Today’s filing underscores our resolve to see justice done,” Fox spokesman Dan Berger said in an e-mailed statement. “Make no mistake, Aereo is stealing our broadcast signal.”
Virginia Lam, a spokeswoman for New York-based Aereo, said today in an e-mail that the company will respond to the Supreme Court petition “in due course.”
Chase Carey, president and chief operating officer of New York-based Fox, said earlier this year that the company would convert its Fox TV network into a cable channel and cease broadcasting if U.S. courts permit Aereo to continue taking its signals without compensation. Leslie Moonves, CBS’s chief executive officer, and Haim Saban, chairman of Univision, have said they would follow Fox off the air if necessary.
Broadcast stations will collect $3.02 billion in retransmission fees from pay-TV systems this year, doubling to $6.05 billion by 2018, according to estimates by Bloomberg Industries.
Federal judges in Boston and New York so far have permitted Aereo to operate during legal challenges. Nathaniel Gorton, a U.S. district judge in Boston, wrote earlier this week that the plaintiffs hadn’t “demonstrated a sufficient likelihood of success on the merits nor the requisite irreparable harm” to justify an injunction.
The cases in New York are American Broadcasting Cos. v. Aereo Inc., 12-cv-01540, WNET v. Aereo Inc., 12-cv-01543, and Aereo Inc. v. CBS Broadcasting Inc., 13-cv-03013, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan). The case in Boston is Hearst Stations Inc. v. Aereo Inc., 13-cv-11649, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts (Boston).

Celebrity DUI: The Drunk Driving Celebrities Who Made 2006 Even More Memorable
By: Chris Kramer
As the New Year quickly approaches, it's time to look back at the celebrity DUI arrests in 2006 that captured headlines, turned heads and had everyone talking.
From trendy socialites and popular actors to famous comedians and pro athletes, celebrity DUI's filled the police blotter and kept many DUI lawyers busy in 2006.
- It was hardly "The Simple Life" for the two stars of the Fox reality series as Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton were each arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.
The Nicole Richie DWI occurred in early December when the 25-year-old adopted daughter of singer Lionel Richie was pulled over by police for driving down the wrong way of a California highway. Richie allegedly told an officer that she smoked marijuana and took some prescription Vicodin prior to her California DUI arrest. Richie also had a DUI in 2002 and would face five days in prison if convicted for a second time according to California DUI law.
Richie's running mate, Paris Hilton, was booked on suspicion of DUI in early September. This celebrity DUI arrest occurred after Hilton was pulled over for erratically driving her Mercedes in Hollywood. Police administered field sobriety tests on Hilton. Her publicist later said that Hilton had only one margarita and could not have registered a blood alcohol content reading above the 0.08% limit in California.
- Mel Gibson's celebrity DUI arrest in July was further complicated when the "Braveheart" star and director of "The Passion of the Christ" reportedly went on an anti-Semitic tirade. Gibson registered a 0.12% breathalyzer reading at the time of his arrest in Los Angeles and would later plead no contest to drunk driving in August. Gibson also offered a public apology for his insensitive remarks and admitted that he's struggled with alcoholism for years.
- DUI celebrity arrests were recurring but not funny punch lines for comedic actors Tracy Morgan and Rip Torn.
Morgan was arrested in New York City for suspicion of DUI in late November. The former major player on "Saturday Night Live" and current star of NBC's "30 Rock" reportedly smelled of alcohol at the time of his stop and later failed a breathalyzer test. This celebrity DUI arrest for Morgan came nearly a year after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor DWI charges in California. Morgan turned down a plea deal for his New York DUI arrest.
Torn was also arrested for drunk driving around New York city after his turning vehicle hit a tractor trailer. The former star of "The Larry Sanders Show" refused a breathalyzer test during his early December DUI arrest and argued that the tractor hit his vehicle. Torn was later released on bond, and his license was suspended. Torn was acquitted of 2004 DUI charges that he hit a taxi while driving drunk.
Other celebrity drunk driving arrests in 2006 included Haley Joel Osment from "The Sixth Sense" and former "Lost" cast member Michelle Rodriguez, who only served five hours of a 60-day prison term in May for a Hawaii DUI that violated her 2004 California DUI.
- The sports world, especially the NFL, saw many of its players capture more headlines off the field for DUI arrests than on the field for their athletic performances. Eight Cincinnati Bengals were arrested during the yet-completed 2006 season, including wide receiver Chris Henry, cornerback Deltha O'Neal and linebacker Odell Thurman on DUI charges. Henry has been arrested four times since December of 2005 on charges of alcohol, drugs and firearms.
NFL DUI arrests also tackled Antonio Bryant of the San Francisco 49ers, Cletis Gordon of the San Diego Chargers, B.J. Sams of the Baltimore Ravens, Adrian Jones of the New York Jets, and Khalif Barnes and Brian Williams of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Two players were released from their teams because of DUI charges. Defensive cornerback Marcus Coleman was released by the Dallas Cowboys for a Texas DUI while wide receiver Koren Robinson was cut from the Minnesota Vikings and later suspended for a year by the NFL for yet another DUI violation.
Sports DUI arrests weren't limited to the gridiron as Eric Musselman, head coach of the Sacramento Kings, was arrested for a DUI a few days prior to the November tip-off of the 2006 season. At the college level, former Duke All-American guard J.J. Redick was charged with DUI while current Illinois senior three-point specialist Rich McBride faced similar charges. On the ice, San Jose Sharks hockey player Mark Bell was charged with a DUI hit and run following a Labor Day incident in San Jose.
To cap things off, former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson provide the perfect knockout punch to 2006 when he was arrested on Arizona DUI and drug possession charges on December 29th. Tyson, who rose to boxing prominence as a teen and quickly descended when he was imprisoned for rape in the early nineties, is also dubiously remembered for biting off part of Evander Holyfield's ear during a 1997 bout.
Here's hoping that 2007 leaves a better taste for Tyson and those other celebrities who faced DUI charges in 2006! | <urn:uuid:55330bb3-b907-4356-82fe-d1c8715f3e13> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.totaldui.com/news/articles/headlines/celebrity-dui-arrests.aspx | 2015-06-30T08:21:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375091925.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031811-00133-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981229 | 1,040 | [

The death of Paul Brustman (right) on Friday, along with John Niflot’s earlier this summer, left the Town of Fremont Town Board with a bare quorum. At left is Councilman Paul Kellam.
Fremont wrestles with losses
Story by Dan Hust
FREMONT CENTER September 13, 2013 Two tragedies in the Town of Fremont have left officials reeling and confronted with complex, thorny issues.
John B. “Jack” Niflot, a lifelong resident and a member of the town board for more than two decades, passed away unexpectedly in June.
He was the first Fremont town official to die in office in more than 50 years.
Then, just last Friday, fellow Councilman Paul Brustman unexpectedly died, as well.
“Once again, we’ve lost a fine pillar of the community,” lamented Supervisor George Conklin, who was close friends with both men.
“These weren’t just your run-of-the-mill guys. ... They were integral parts of our community.”
The personal loss is also a governmental one. Both men were up for re-election to a town board that now barely has a functioning quorum.
Brustman, in fact, was one of three candidates in this past Tuesday’s primary and preliminary results indicate he won the most votes as one of two people who would run on the Republican line for Fremont Town Board this November.
The votes likely reflect the enormous respect he engendered in the community, but they leave Republican leaders with a hard choice.
“The way I read the law,” said Sullivan County Republican Elections Commissioner Rodney Gaebel, “and [Democratic Commissioner] Ann [Prusinski] and I agree on this, is that the party has 14 days from the date of his passing to come up with a replacement candidate.”
That date September 20 is coming fast, but Conklin, who’s also the town’s Republican Party chairman, said Brustman’s untimely death is still too raw emotionally.
“Paul was a lifelong friend,” he recalled. “The whole thing is still a shock to us. It’s going to be tough.”
In the meantime, he anticipates the town board will appoint at least one interim councilperson to bring the board up to four members. As it stands now, if just one councilman cannot attend a meeting, the board can’t officially conduct any business.
Due to Brustman’s passing, the next board meeting has been postponed to this Wednesday, September 18 at 7 p.m. at the town hall in Fremont Center. | <urn:uuid:18669d8c-5e6d-4d70-8887-ec3b3b0c153d> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://sc-democrat.com/news/2013September/13/news3.htm | 2015-07-04T18:59:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096870.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00013-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965914 | 586 | [

Clinton's a cool guy. So is Hatton.
Most successful boxers are hated by atleast some sector of the population. In fact, anyone successful has a few haters.
Hatton's popularity in the UK is really beyond belief. He sold 50 000+ tickets to fight an unknown!!!
Now that's crazy. And if you think to yourself, why is this guy so popular? You realise it's because he has so much time for the fans. He treats his fans with a lot of dignity and respect, and he dresses like a normal english dude which keeps the fans in touch with him. Really, as a person, no-one should hate Hatton. But people inevitably will as success breeds envy. | <urn:uuid:551b4118-4f7b-4ff6-9300-53305a5d1650> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4756030&postcount=18 | 2015-07-04T19:50:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096870.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00013-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979556 | 149 | [

Nippon Sharyo Manufacturing, LLC built its first rail-car manufacturing plant in Rochelle, Ill., that included Shop 1 and Shop 2, hired 400 workers and rolled out its first rail car, the Gallery-type EMU for Metra in 2012. In April 2013 Nippon broke ground to build Shop 3, expanding its operation to metal fabrication and machining production in Illinois and fulfilling the requirements to the Federal Railroad Administrations “Buy America” program. Today, Gov. Quinn joined Nippon officials to open their new $100 million Shop 3 facility, the new facility will add an additional 90 manufacturing jobs. As part of the federal government's “Buy America” Nippon Sharyo manufacturing will utilize locally sourced products and services in building rail-cars that are 100% American-made, and ramped up production through 2018.
Nippon's Shop 3 was added to meet the contract demand for Bi-Level Passenger Rail-cars to operate on high-speed rail lines across the United States. The Federal Railroad Administration funded the purchase of 130 rail-cars with an option for an additional 300. The procurement of these high speed passenger cars and a separate procurement of high speed locomotives is being overseen by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on behalf of the federal government. Of the 130 bi-level rail-cars, 88 will go to Illinois and 42 to California.
In November 2012, Nippon Sharyo was awarded the contract for the 130 high-speed bi-level passenger rail cars with its bid of $352 million, which was well below the procurement estimates, the contract also has the option to purchase an additional 300 rail cars for $898 million, bringing the contract total to $1.25 billion. The first cars are scheduled to be delivered in late 2015, with the final cars to be delivered in early 2018. The new Bi-Level rail-cars will become the standard for the coming generation of passenger rail-cars. | <urn:uuid:616de421-4dfc-4ac6-a637-2ebcb906f44e> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.examiner.com/article/gov-quinn-joins-nippon-officials-to-open-new-manufacturing-plant | 2015-07-04T19:13:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096870.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00013-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953076 | 418 | [

You can take either a credit or a deduction for income taxes paid to a foreign country or a U.S. possession. Taken as a deduction, foreign income taxes reduce your taxable income. Taken as a credit, foreign income taxes reduce your tax liability. You must treat all foreign income taxes the same way. If you take a credit for any foreign income taxes, you cannot deduct any foreign income taxes. However, you may be able to deduct other foreign taxes. See Deduction for Other Foreign Taxes, later.
There is no rule to determine whether it is to your advantage to take a deduction or a credit for foreign income taxes. In most cases, it is to your advantage to take foreign income taxes as a tax credit, which you subtract directly from your U.S. tax liability, rather than as a deduction in figuring taxable income. However, if foreign income taxes were imposed at a high rate and the proportion of foreign income to U.S. income is small, a lower final tax may result from deducting the foreign income taxes. In any event, you should figure your tax liability both ways and then use the one that is better for you.
You can make or change your choice within 10 years from the due date for filing the tax return on which you are entitled to take either the deduction or the credit. taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm#en_us_publink100047581
These are generally income taxes you pay to any foreign country or possession of the United States. taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm#en_us_publink100047582
Foreign income taxes can only be taken as a credit on Form 1040, line 47, or as an itemized deduction on Schedule A. These amounts cannot be included as withheld income taxes on Form 1040, line 61. taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm#en_us_publink100047583
You cannot take a credit or deduction for foreign income taxes paid on earnings you exclude from tax under any of the following.
- Foreign earned income exclusion.
- Foreign housing exclusion.
- Possession exclusion.
If your wages are completely excluded, you cannot deduct or take a credit for any of the foreign taxes paid on your wages.
If only part of your wages is excluded, you cannot deduct or take a credit for the foreign income taxes allocable to the excluded part. You find the taxes allocable to your excluded wages by applying a fraction to the foreign taxes paid on foreign earned income received during the tax year. The numerator (top number) of the fraction is your excluded foreign earned income received during the tax year minus deductible expenses allocable to that income (not including the foreign housing deduction). The denominator (bottom number) of the fraction is your total foreign earned income received during the tax year minus all deductible expenses allocable to that income (including the foreign housing deduction).
If foreign law taxes both earned income and some other type of income and the taxes on the other type cannot be separated, the denominator of the fraction is the total amount of income subject to foreign tax minus deductible expenses allocable to that other type of income.
If you take a foreign tax credit for tax on income you could have excluded under your choice to exclude foreign earned income or your choice to exclude foreign housing costs, one or both of the choices may be considered revoked.
If you take the foreign tax credit, you may have to file Form 1116 with Form 1040. Form 1116 is used to figure the amount of foreign tax paid or accrued that can be claimed as a foreign tax credit. Do not include the amount of foreign tax paid or accrued as withheld federal income taxes on Form 1040, line 61.
The foreign income tax for which you can claim a credit is the amount of legal and actual tax liability you pay or accrue during the year. The amount for which you can claim a credit is not necessarily the amount withheld by the foreign country. You cannot take a foreign tax credit for income tax you paid to a foreign country that would be refunded by the foreign country if you made a claim for refund. taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm#en_us_publink100047586
If a foreign country returns your foreign tax payments to you in the form of a subsidy, you cannot claim a foreign tax credit based on these payments. This rule applies to a subsidy provided by any means that is determined, directly or indirectly, by reference to the amount of tax, or to the base used to figure the tax.
Some ways of providing a subsidy are refunds, credits, deductions, payments, or discharges of obligations. A credit is also not allowed if the subsidy is given to a person related to you, or persons who participated in a transaction or a related transaction with you. taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm#en_us_publink100047587
The foreign tax credit is limited to the part of your total U.S. tax that is in proportion to your taxable income from sources outside the United States compared to your total taxable income. The allowable foreign tax credit cannot be more than your actual foreign tax liability. taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm#en_us_publink100047588
You will not be subject to this limit and will not have to file Form 1116 if you meet all three of the following requirements.
- Your only foreign source income for the year is passive income (dividends, interest, royalties, etc.) that is reported to you on a payee statement (such as a Form 1099-DIV or 1099-INT).
- Your foreign taxes for the year that qualify for the credit are not more than $300 ($600 if you are filing a joint return) and are reported on a payee statement.
- You elect this procedure.
If you make this election, you cannot carry back or carry over any unused foreign tax to or from this year.
You must figure the limit on a separate basis with regard to "passive category income" and "general category income" (see the instructions for Form 1116). taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm#en_us_publink100047590
In figuring taxable income in each category, you take into account only the amount that you must include in income on your federal tax return. Do not take any excluded amount into account.
To determine your taxable income in each category, deduct expenses and losses that are definitely related to that income.
Other expenses (such as itemized deductions or the standard deduction) not definitely related to specific items of income must be apportioned to the foreign income in each category by multiplying them by a fraction. The numerator (top number) of the fraction is your gross foreign income in the separate limit category. The denominator (bottom number) of the fraction is your gross income from all sources. For this purpose, gross income includes amounts that are otherwise exempt or excluded. You must use special rules for deducting interest expenses. For more information on allocating and apportioning your deductions, see Publication 514. taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm#en_us_publink100047591
Do not take the deduction for exemptions for yourself, your spouse, or your dependents in figuring taxable income for purposes of the limit. taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm#en_us_publink100047592
If you have an overall foreign loss and the loss reduces your U.S. source income (resulting in a reduction of your U.S. tax liability), you must recapture the loss in later years when you have taxable income from foreign sources. This is done by treating a part of your taxable income from foreign sources in later years as U.S. source income. This reduces the numerator of the limiting fraction and the resulting foreign tax credit limit. taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm#en_us_publink100047593
The amount of foreign income tax not allowed as a credit because of the limit can be carried back 1 year and carried forward 10 years.
More information on figuring the foreign tax credit can be found in Publication 514. taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm#en_us_publink100047594
Instead of taking the foreign tax credit, you can deduct foreign income taxes as an itemized deduction on Schedule A (Form 1040).
You can deduct only foreign income taxes paid on income that is subject to U.S. tax. You cannot deduct foreign taxes paid on earnings you exclude from tax under any of the following.
- Foreign earned income exclusion.
- Foreign housing exclusion.
- Possession exclusion.
You are a U.S. citizen and qualify to exclude your foreign earned income. Your excluded wages in Country X are $70,000 on which you paid income tax of $10,000. You received dividends from Country X of $2,000 on which you paid income tax of $600.
You can deduct the $600 tax payment because the dividends relating to it are subject to U.S. tax. Because you exclude your wages, you cannot deduct the income tax of $10,000.
If you exclude only a part of your wages, see the earlier discussion under Foreign taxes paid on excluded income. taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm#en_us_publink100047596
You can deduct real property taxes you pay that are imposed on you by a foreign country. You take this deduction on Schedule A (Form 1040). You cannot deduct other foreign taxes, such as personal property taxes, unless you incurred the expenses in a trade or business or in the production of income.
On the other hand, you generally can deduct personal property taxes when you pay them to U.S. possessions. But if you claim the possession exclusion, see Publication 570.
The deduction for foreign taxes other than foreign income taxes is not related to the foreign tax credit. You can take deductions for these miscellaneous foreign taxes and also claim the foreign tax credit for income taxes imposed by a foreign country. | <urn:uuid:9e3bf7d3-7eb5-4f0e-a63e-025a40b102a3> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://taxmap.ntis.gov/taxmap/archive2009/taxmap/pubs/p54-020.htm | 2015-07-06T17:57:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375098685.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031818-00263-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950806 | 2,111 | [

Roberts coughs, raising an eyebrow at Bauer's remark. "...I am quite aware of that. However surely it makes sense to focus our efforts on the more common races present here? All I'm saying is that if this creature is entirely non-human, we're unlikely to learn anything of more value than we'd learn from something more commonly encountered."
After all, the scientists here aren't seriously intending to do a complete case-by-case analysis of every single living thing, are they? There's so much random stuff turning up in the Nexus every day...
Got to draw the line somewhere, right?

Pre-4th of July
|4th of July Lemon Cake|
Right about now, I'm usually preparing a dessert or an appetizer for Carol's and Thane's 4th of July party. The party will go on without us this year. Our friends, Brooke and Deyo are getting married tomorrow and we're attending the wedding. It's a very romantic story. Brooke and Deyo met at a mutual friend's backyard 4th of July party a few years ago. Last 4th of July Deyo proposed. This 4th of July the happy couple are getting married at the very same backyard barbecue! I do believe that the catering has been stepped up a bit for a bigger crowd tomorrow. I love the tradition!
HOWEVER, if you happen to need a 4th of July dessert, try my Flag Lemon Cake. It's yummy and festive!
4th of July Lemon Cake
1 Duncan Hines Golden Yellow Cake Mix
1 sml. package Jello instant lemon pudding mix
½ pint sour cream
½ cup oil
½ cup water
1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
Mix together with electric mixer at medium speed, cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, oil, water and 1 Tbs. lemon juice. Pour batter into greased and floured 13 x 9" pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown....test cake by inserting a silver knife in the center of the cake...if it comes out clean, then the cake is done. Cool cake completely.
Top the cooled cake with a layer of Cool Whip©. Add sliced strawberries and blueberries to resemble stripes and stars, following photo above.
Of course, if you REALLY want to prepare a spectacular 4th of July dessert, try Charles Phoenix's Strawberry Blast-Off Cake! | <urn:uuid:0c3ed0c9-b170-4acf-a557-01090574b30f> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://ellenbloom.blogspot.com/2013/07/pre-4th-of-july.html | 2015-06-30T14:27:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375093974.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031813-00203-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9516 | 377 | [

A former vice-president of the Supreme People's Court (SPC) will probably stand on trial by March on charges of bribery, according to media reports yesterday.
The 53-year-old Huang Songyou, the highest-ranking judge to be charged with corruption since the founding of the People's Republic of China, has been accused of accepting 4 million yuan ($586,000) in bribes, the Beijing-based China Business Journal reported.
Huang will go on trial by early March at the latest when the country's top legislature, the National People's Congress, convenes its annual session, the paper said, citing unnamed sources familiar with the case.
The investigation against Huang is nearing its end and the prosecutors are expected to hand over the case to the court soon, according to the paper.
Officials at the supreme court and the supreme procuratorate could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Huang's case rocked China's court system because he had held the title of Grand Justice of the Second Rank, only two ranks below the country's top judge.
Huang has been held since Oct 15, 2008 after a probe by the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI).
The CCDI had earlier said in a statement that Huang was found misusing his power to seek profits for concerned people and accepting a "huge amount" of bribes in return, and living a "corrupt" life.
Huang was deprived of his membership of the CPC and dismissed from the post as vice-president of the SPC later that month.
Huang is a native of South China's Guangdong province. He became vice-president of the SPC in 2002.
Four former officials at the supreme court also were involved in Huang's case, with one sentenced in September to a three-year imprisonment with a three-year reprieve for taking 100,000 yuan in bribes, the China Business Journal reported yesterday. The other three are still under detention.
After Huang's case came to light, the SPC launched an extensive anti-corruption campaign inside the court system nationwide, aiming to keep the judiciary untarnished and free of corruption.
Huang was allegedly charged with only one count of taking a bribe instead of three counts of corruption as previously speculated by other media, said the China Business Journal.
Huang is not involved in the case of Huang Guangyu, China's former wealthiest man who has been held by police since November 2008 on suspicion of commercial crimes, the newspaper reported.
Media had earlier speculated that Huang Songyou's case was related to Huang Guangyu's. | <urn:uuid:6d9552c5-206f-4a30-b7b5-5a44370a5858> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2010-01/04/content_9257706.htm | 2015-06-30T14:26:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375093974.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031813-00203-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979653 | 538 | [

Minds in Bloom is so happy to welcome Cassie from Create-Abilities! This post is a little goldmine of ideas on how to use exit slips...and tons of examples too!
I need to tell you about one of my obsessions: exit tickets! I love them! They are the quickest and most effective way I have found to assess your students understanding of core concepts. I have tried various ways to incorporate exit tickets. I have had students write answers to questions on scratch paper, have had them answer questions on index cards, and even had them tell me something as they walked out the door (for example: two equivalent fractions as the walk out the door to recess).
All of these worked out okay, but I wanted something that was easy to prepare beforehand that met the exact standard I needed met. It was a lot of upfront investment but it was completely worth it. By preparing my exit tickets beforehand (instead of in the moment like usual) I was also able to keep my teaching on track and make sure that I was incorporating the strategies I wanted to use. It kept me focused on what our learning objectives were for the day as well. I don't know about you, but I the more I plan beforehand, the better the lesson seems to go.
What's great about exit tickets is that they can be used as formative or summative assessments. In my classroom, I used them mostly as formative. It seems to me with all of the testing we now need to do that I have enough summative data. I wanted something that would help me see a snapshot of where my kids were and where I still needed to take them. I like to think of these exit tickets as "checkpoints" along the way. I feel like if I am not constantly checking in with my students learning, then I as their teacher can't do my job to it's fullest.
This is a nice little video about formative versus summative assessment. I really like how he talks about turning a summative assessment into a formative assessment if your students do poorly on it!
I want to see what my students know and if my lesson/strategies were effective (of course I love to assume that my teaching was perfect!). The students would be given an exit ticket that had a few problems on it that tied in directly to what I was teaching that day. They would answer them and come check them off with me before they headed outside to recess. Depending on the day, I would either grade them immediately and have students go back and fix mistakes (that's the beauty of having only a few problems per ticket), or collect them and use the data to form my teaching for the next day.
Sometimes, I would also do a "Student Teacher". That means, the first 1-3 kids that finished with 100% could help me grade using their ticket as an answer key. This was really helpful when we got near testing at the end of the year and I wanted to work more one on one with the students who needed it. Those who just needed a quick check could go to the Student Teachers and I could pull the kids who were struggling and work with them.
Another way I used exit tickets was to help differentiate my instruction by working with my teaching partner using the data from the tickets. We would take the students who really struggled and they would work with one teacher going over the problems on the tickets. Then, the kids who could use an extension or extra practice would work with the other teacher on going beyond the ticket.
When I created my tickets, I made two to a page for easy printing. I try to save paper anywhere I can!
I would make the copies I needed and cut them in half. I also created answer keys two to a page. This made it so both teachers could have a copy of the answer key. Sometimes we had para-educators or parents that could help us grade and having multiple answer keys really helped.
Here is a short video showing how another teacher uses exit tickets.
If you are interested in trying out my exit tickets, I have attached a sample of them across a few grade levels. They can be found by clicking on this link: Exit Tickets

Give me sugar, give me spice, feeling naughty, feeling nice! No, that isn't an R-rated nursery rhyme (although it could be), rather, those are the names of the four ssssexy low-rider thongs in this Cosabella Mood Swings Box Set ($70 on sale). Hand them out individually as bachelorette party favors (they come in individual boxes in the gift pack), or save them for date night... We guarantee he (or she!) will be pleasantly surprised!

Florida lawmakers aim to prevent sales of fake drugs
BY Advocate.com Editors
April 23 2003 12:00 AM ET
Florida lawmakers and pharmaceutical wholesale company lobbyists reached a compromise last week on two bills designed to prevent the sale of counterfeit, expired, and diluted drugs, including anti-HIV medications, in the state, the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel reports. The bills were filed in response to a grand jury report that said the state's drug supply was being affected by sales of bad drugs from pharmaceutical wholesalers.
The bills require wholesale firms to document the history of all shipments of 30 of the most tampered drugs and to conduct criminal background checks of all employees. Among the drugs included on that list is the anti-wasting medication Procrit, used to boost weight gain in people suffering from AIDS-related wasting. The legislation also would make the sale of counterfeit or relabeled drugs a felony. Wholesalers would be required to begin tracking shipments of all medications sold in Florida by July 2006. The bills have wide support in the Florida legislature and are expected to easily pass before lawmakers adjourn on May 2.

The Pluto Files begins with Pluto's discovery in 1930 and why it was thought to be a planet at the time. It had been discovered by an American which Tyson seems to believe has something to do with why Pluto is such a cultural phenomenon. It also might have something to do with Mickey's dog. Almost from the beginning, scientists questioned Pluto's planet status. Then as technology improved and more discoveries about the solar system were made, planet Pluto was in jeopardy.
When Tyson was put in charge of the new Hayden Planetarium exhibit in New York, he had a dilemma. Where would he put Pluto? After much debate, Pluto was left out of the exhibit. A year went by and only a few children noticed. Then a New York Times journalist wrote Pluto Not a Planet? Only In New York. Tyson's phone rang off the hook and his inbox filled with hate mail. People were pissed! Pluto is a planet, dang-namit!
People went seriously crazy. Some of what he reads and hears is down right silly. Why were people so attached to Pluto? Why should science be dictated by sentiment? Tyson sticks to his guns and doesn't change the exhibit but the museum ads a plaque to explain Pluto disappearance. Eventually people come to terms with Pluto's downgraded status in the solar system.
When I saw The Pluto Files in the new book section of the library, I took it out. I've seen Neil deGrasse Tyson on The Discovery Channel for different things and more recently on Leno discussing this book. He was funny and personable. His personality shines in The Pluto Files. He tries to make astronomy accessible to even people like me and even though I was lost a few times, he always managed to get me back on track. It doesn't hurt that it's short and full of amusing images either.
If you have an interest in what happened to Pluto, then I recommend this book. | <urn:uuid:cabd557a-b586-4538-9198-4b1cccdd19c7> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.chrisbookarama.com/2009/03/pluto-files-by-neil-degrasse-tyson.html | 2015-07-02T21:28:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095671.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00143-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986971 | 388 | [

The goal for marketing types in the Internet age is a "viral" ad campaign. You pull off some publicity stunt, there's tons of coverage on the internet, you wind up with millions of eyeballs for virtually no cost.
But viral campaigns are all about pushing the envelope. You have to shock people to get their attention, and this is where the potential for disaster lies.

Face Full Of Writing Links (November)
This month, I have inundated you with writing advice — specifically advice geared toward writing a novel, advice given in order to coincide with National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). It has been a mighty deluge, a briny flood of novelthink spraying from my fingertips as if from a high-pressure hose. Hopefully it did not burn your eyes. Or fill your lungs with its gargling nonsense.
To clarify, I maintain that writing advice — yes, mine included — is in no way universal, in no way absolute. Each snidbit (snippet + tidbit) of advice given is nothing more than a tool for your toolbox or a weapon in your armory: I expect you to pick it up, test its heft, estimate its value to your coming endeavor, and then either carry it forth onto the field for the purpose of crushing your enemy’s eggshell skulls or set it back in its case with a curt shake of your head. Sometimes it’s a “square peg meets circle hole” kind of thing. Other times it’s just what the doctor ordered.
It is strictly YMMV: “Your Monkey May Vacillate.”
No, wait, that’s not it.
Young Marmoset Make Vacuum?
Mmm. No. That feels wrong, too.
Your Mastectomy May Vary?
That feels closer.
I’m sure I’ll remember.
Also worth noting: my advice is purely selfish. I put it out there to help clarify my own process first and foremost because I secretly believe that I am the only occupant of this universe and you are all clearly figments of my caffeine-addled imagination. Writing is a weird journey, unique to each pilgrim walking its uncertain path. I’m just documenting the steps I’ve taken and pondering the steps I’ve yet to take.
(Yellow Machine Mumble Vicariously? Nnn, no. Damnit.)
Here, then, is a list of the blog posts I’ve written this month on the subject of writing a novel.
This list serves two purposes:
a) It is meant to be of some convenience for you penmonkeys, especially those of you still trundling along on the NaNoWriMo path. Maybe there’s something you missed? Make with the clicky-clicky.
b) It is meant to appeal to my laziest of sides because, hey, I don’t have to do a brand new blog post. I can just point and make hooting noises and jump up and down. It’s so easy. Besides, it’s Sunday, and I’ve got to head down yonder hills to take my lovely mother out to breakfast.
So, here’s that list.
(Yowling Mewling Marmot Vendor? Shit. No.)
And that’s all she wrote, cats and kittens.

In late 1988, at the age of 27, Obama entered the elite Harvard Law School. How he got admitted, we’ll probably never know because the POS refuses to reveal his undergraduate graduating GPA at Columbia University (or any of his GPAs), nor his LSAT (Law School Admission Test) scores. At the end of his first year at Harvard Law, the POS was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review (HLR), the journal published by the Harvard Law Revue Association. The next year, 1990, he was voted president of HLR.
On the occasion of the Harvard Law Review‘s 103rd anniversary, the POS delivered the opening remarks at the celebratory banquet on April 20, 1990. The famous economist John Kenneth Galbraith was the banquet’s keynote speaker. Obama’s speech was a tongue-in-cheek “Self Tribute” on his philosophy of leadership as President of the HLR. 29 years old at the time, his “Self Tribute” reads more like a sophomoric attempt at humor by an undergrad.
FOTM’s beloved lowtechgrannie alerted me to a person named “obamalot” who posted the issue of HLR with Obama’s “Self Tribute” on Flickr. Obamalot has copyrighted the jpg images of the HLR pages, so we can’t post them on FOTM. Instead, I’ve transcribed Obama’s speech. You can see the actual HLR pages on Flickr by clicking here.
Here’s Obama’s “Self Tribute” in Harvard Law Review, vol. 103, no. 6.5 (April 1990), pp. 8-10:
Between Barack and a Hard Place: My First Hundred Days
by Baroque Yo Mama
Lots of folks have asked me, “Baruch, what’s it like to be the first Jewish president of the Harvard Law Revue?” Oi! This has gone a bit too far. It’s true that my background is a bit convoluted, but let me try my luck at clarifying these matters once and for all. I was born in Oslo, Norway, the son of a Volvo factory worker and part-time ice-fisherman. My mother was a backup singer for Abba. They were good folks. As you folks all know, I am extraordinarily mature, and at the age of fifteen I went off to California to enroll at Accidental College. After a couple of years, I decided to go to Columbia, but when offered a position as judge in Bogota, I fled to Chicago. There I discovered I was black, and I have remained so ever since. But I don’t want to bore you folks with matters of background and ethnicity. My purpose is the review the changes I have instituted in my first hundred days in office.
The first and most daunting task that I faced upon assuming power was to open the door to the President’s office. This was even more difficult than getting a piece through an Uhlrich EE-read, but it required the same tools: raw strength and vaseline. Upon entering this musty mausoleum, I was shocked to discover a startling collection of items. On the wall was a well-worn, inscribed nude photo of Justice Brennan. Scary! On the desk I found a red hotline phone. I picked it up and a voice answered, “Um, um, um, Peeeter! I thought we were going to Fenway tomorrow, and, I mean, by the way, did you read that article in the Wall Street Journal about …” I had the line rerouted to Griswold 307. Finally, in the closet I discovered 3000 pairs of shoes. I had had enough; I called the folks at buildings and grounds and had the place thoroughly fumigated.
With the new openness assured, I moved to consolidate my power. Now some folks may think I’m crazy for for appointing a bunch of conservatives to the masthead, and others may think I’ve been co-opted. Neither theory is correct: You see, back in Norway, I was raised to appreciate the value of narrow thinking and chilly demeanor. Next, I invited my underlings to join me for a “pot luck” dinner at my understated and mature apartment. As most of you read after my election, my mother is an anthropologist or something, and from her I have learned of the special bonding process that occurs when members of a group share indigestion. It worked like a charm, and now we are a happy, cohesive folk. Indeed, in a variety of areas I have come to depend upon similar methods of cultivating social cohesion at Gannett House: the use of apparently meaningless symbols to bewilder and befuddle, brutal puberty rites, ritual animal sacrifice, and incest taboos.
All of these projects came perilously close to interfering with my most important obligation at the time: empowering all the folks out there in America who didn’t know about me by giving a series of articulate and startlingly mature interviews to all the folks in the media. As I said at the time, I merely walked through doors that other folks had opened. (I have tried to put that adage into practice, by appointing a 2L editor to be my personal doorman here at the law school, but that’s another story.) Giving interviews and granting photo sessions has been a large burden, but when the movie rights are finally bought up I believe it will all be worth it.
What it all comes down to, folks, is this. There’s an old Norwegian saying: he who keeps Lutefish by the fire in November will find glaciers in his outhouse by March. The Revue is kind of like a Lutefish — smelly, slippery and fat. And I need your help in keeping us glacier-free. Everyone’s important: in some small way, we’re all President of the Revue. Sure, you don’t get your picture next to Eric Clapton’s in Time, but you do get plenty of pool assignments. That’s what I love about America, the land of opportunity. That’s all, folks! | <urn:uuid:8cead38a-c4b4-4d84-8500-78a8be8682a4> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2012/08/22/obamas-self-tribute-as-harvard-law-review-president/ | 2015-07-07T02:30:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375098987.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031818-00023-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964618 | 1,327 | [

Last year, Ace Atkins continued Robert B. Parker’s Spenser series with Lullaby. He captured the voice of the urban knight for hire, coming as close to Parker’s portrayal as anybody could. In his follow up, Wonderland, he picks up where Parker left off in his last Spenser novel, Sixkill.
Henry Cimoli, an old boxer who runs the water front gym, asks Spenser for help. A gambling tycoon wants the property his condo is on for a casino and some thugs have been sent to move negotiations along with him or the other seniors who are holding out. Since his usual back up, Hawk is out of the country Spenser uses Sixkill; the Cree Indian bodyguard he’s been mentoring. It’s not long before the two are up against both the Boston and Vegas mob and one of the major players are murdered.
Much of the story deals with Sixkill. Early on, he is roughed up my some of the goons, with his pride being damaged as much as his body. The beating makes him wonder if he’s cut out for this life and if not, what life is he cut out for. Spenser uses the case to test Sixkill and hopefully save him.
Like Lullaby, Wonderland has echoes of Early Autumn, a Spenser book that is a favorite of Ace’s. While in that book he’s helping a young man find direction in his life, here he’s mentoring someone how to deal with a life like his own. It seems we learn the most about Spenser when he his teaching.
In Lullaby, Atkins confronted Spenser with changing times. In Wonderland we see him dealing with by passing what he knows and believes down to the next generation. All of this is done subtlety under some masterful plotting, fun quips and well-defined action scenes. He has taken the last major character Parker created in the series and used him to introduce a new phase in Spenser’s life. It looks likes it’s still going to be one worth following.
Join us as we welcome Ace Atkins to BookPeople to speak about and sign Wonderland, as well as his new Quinn Colson novel, Broken Places, on Friday, May 31 at 7PM. | <urn:uuid:d4174fcb-01eb-4550-92b7-3013257336b2> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | https://mysterypeople.wordpress.com/2013/05/09/mp-review-wonderland-by-ace-atkins/ | 2015-07-07T02:27:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375098987.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031818-00023-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977085 | 479 | [

If you weren't aware of that fact, you've now had two opportunities to learn it, thanks to the astoundingly similar challenges posed to the contestants on this season's Top Chef and Next Iron Chef. But, hey...it was a pretty cool idea, so I won't complain.
Anyway, both challenges included an aspect that is personally familiar. For TC, it was the dread and despair of being in Newark Airport. I refuse to call it "Newark Liberty." For NIC, it was the fact that the one time that I actually had a good meal on a flight, it was flying business class to Germany on Lufthansa.
I know what you're thinking: Hey, how did you get to fly business class to Germany?!?! Well, the former day-job had a policy that, if you had to fly overseas, you were eligible to fly business class. I was attending a week-long meeting in Hamburg and that meant I got to fly in the lap of (relative) luxury from Philadelphia to Frankfurt on Lufthansa. And, let me tell you, the food was pretty darn good. I don't remember too many of the specifics, but I can say that the wines were very good (and refilled quite often!) and it was my only experience with rabbit, which was tasty, although not something I would eat every day.
In short, Lufthansa = air-born culinary cred in my book.
Last night's episode nicely underscored my point from a little while back when I talked about what I liked about NIC, and the fact that the episode ran on the same night that the Red Sox finished off the Rockies in the World Series seemed fitting. In my post from a couple weeks back, I said:
But there’s something also to be said for watching virtuosos duke it out just for bragging rights. Sure the winner gets a nice contract with Food Network and the exposure for his or her restaurant that comes with it, but my guess is that the “title” itself would be enough for many of them.
Seeing Chef Sanchez's reaction to his elimination -- he was on the verge of tears -- was echoed an hour or so later in the reaction of the Rockies to the end of their post-season run. In both instances, it was the example of individuals who are already wildly successful in their own right, but who were compelled by their competitive drive (the thing that "got them there" in the first place) to take these competitions so seriously.
I've been to a bunch of minor league baseball games. They're fun. The hot dogs and beer are affordable and the players are all struggling to be noticed and move up to the big leagues. But I've never felt particularly elated when the home team won. Why? Because winning for these guys, although a great reward, is just an means to a greater end, which is to make it to "the show."
Whether you're talking about the World Series or Next Iron Chef, there really isn't an agenda of personal gain or monetary reward. Sure, they'll get a sweet gig on the Food Network and a couple thousand dollar bonus for winning the Series. But what really is at stake in these competitions is the respect and admiration of one's colleagues and the satisfaction that comes with knowing that you came out on top when you competed with the best.
What we saw from Sanchez and the Rockies last night is the honest emotion of striving for the top of the mountain and just coming up a bit short. That is the very definition of drama, and it makes for compelling television.

GA Roofing & Repair is expanding again, but not its territory this time. “Pent up demand for Home Improvement, both interior & exterior remediation and upgrades, has opened many doors for GA Roofing & Repair to expand its business and services they provide into other areas than roofing, gutters, & siding”, owner Jeff Weber says. “We are seeing trends of a dramatic increase in families willing to re-invest and remain in their homes for longer periods of time until the residential housing market begins to recover.” ”We have brought on a full time crew of highly trained and experienced employees just to keep up with the increase in demand for painting, flooring, drywall, pressure washing, & property maintenance“, Weber says. “We are also seeing a large increase in a wave of new first time homes buyers.” I ask, how has the first time home buyer market affected business? “Lenders, banks, and buyer agents are becoming more aware of the declining house conditions that have taken place since the beginning of the recession in 2007.” “Homes that went into foreclosure, families that were living paycheck to paycheck, and people that are just not willing to invest in a home that is loosing value at an incredible rate.” “All of this combined has been a very good thing for us”, Weber says. “Banks and buyer agents are now demanding entire home inspections from top to bottom be completed by licensed home inspection companies prior to closing.” “Banks can force repairs to be made prior to lending and/or buyer agents are using the inspection report as a powerful negotiating tool and can either negotiate a discounted price at closing or force repairs to be made.” “The buyer has all of the power in today’s real estate market.” “In addition, we have grown our working relationships with new residential builders here in Atlanta as well, through our great banking friends at BB&T & Regions Bank, we’re bidding on close to 5-10 new residential homes a week!” That’s something that hasen’t been seen for a long time”, Weber says.
All of this sounds great, but how is the core business doing compared to last year, that being residential re-roofing? “In general, roofing has been relatively steady.” “We are re-roofing anywhere from 5-10 residential homes per month, that would put us in the top 1% category here in the Atlanta market.” “We have every roofing supplies distributor in town competing for our business just as we are competing for new customers”. “We have great relationships with all of the distributors, but unfortunately it still comes down to the numbers and sometimes feeling get hurt.”
How is your roofing repair division preforming, I ask? “Very well, the office will field close to 5 calls per day for repairs within a 50 mile radius of our office location” That’s great, have you had to hire to keep up with demand? “Yes, I have hired close to 5 highly trained and experienced repair technicians that are capable of repairing any roof to electrical and plumbing needs”. “The amount of talent we have on staff is exciting”.
Have you seen an increase in your commercial roofing division and the amount of new projects out for bid? “Most certainly, there are a lot of new and old national retailers and restaurants that have been sitting on the side lines waiting to either open or expand.” “Land prices are at an all time low right now, and we’ll probably never see pricing like this again in our lifetime.” “Land Lords are making favorable deals for new tenants in empty spaces and Big Box Walmart is getting ready to break ground on up to 7 new locations here in GA that would have never gotten approved at the peak back in 2006 and 2007″, “now they are able to get zoning permits because people need jobs the local economy needs a boost.” “Shadow anchor is next to come, but that won’t be for another year to year and a half I expect”, Weber says. “We also hold many new commercial roofing manufacturing licenses such as Duro-Last, Versico, & GAF which is alowing us to bid on more projects that have EPDM Roofing, PVC Roofing, and TPO Roofing. | <urn:uuid:199a6e2f-02c9-4a8e-a936-be0a0e4480ed> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://garoofingandrepair.com/georgia-roofing-repair-expanding-again/ | 2015-07-07T09:13:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375099105.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031819-00093-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971215 | 943 | [

On Monday, I mailed my two prayer shawls for Sandy survivors to the United Methodist Church in Absecon. I had finished one at the beginning of last week and finished the other on Thursday night. On Wednesday, with only one of the border strips completed and sewn onto the light blue shawl, I sent both of the shawls to my friends at CompassionKnits, the prayer shawl group at Bound Brook Presbyterian Church, where they were prayed over and blessed. I got a lovely note today from Linda Carll Babcock at the Absecon church, thanking me for the two shawls and assuring me they will go to someone who has lost much.
Also today, I got a lovely note from Bonnie Giacobbe, the leader of the Purling Angels at St. Charles Boromeo Church in Skillman. When I had told Bonnie a few weeks ago that the prayer shawl ministry at St. Benedict’s in Holmdel needs shawls, she immediately (that very day) sent a dozen shawls to them. In today’s note, she shared the thank you she got from Carol Cattani, the leader of St. Benedict’s group.
Recovery from Sandy is going to take a long time for those who have lost their homes. There’s so much more we can do. The need for warm accessories like shawls, hats, gloves and scarves is still great. If you feel led to help either of these churches, let me share their contact information again:

As soon as Ben Gilmore and I arrived in El Chalten, the final bus stop for climbers traveling to the Fitz Roy/Cerro Torre group, we began to hear war stories from other climbers. There had been a lot of accidents.
A climber from Spain rapped off the end of his lines and fell 30 meters, breaking the end of his femur. He was cleaning his fixed lines after an ascent of Royal Flush [Grade VI, 5.12c, 44 pitches, East Face of Fitz Roy]. Several climbers from various expeditions came together and spent a long day getting him down.
A woman was almost crushed in a snow cave at the Paso when a huge boulder fell from the cliff above. Two Argentineans dug her out. Luckily, she only suffered a broken arm. The famous German climber Bernd Arnold got blown over by the wind while he had his feet between two rocks near Lago de Los Thres and broke his ankle. A climber in the Casarotto gully was hit by some ice, which ended his trip. Additionally, the weather had been poor and everyone was in a foul mood. Ben and I tried to keep our smiles on as we got our gear up to Rio Blanco, the main Base Camp for attempts of Fitz from the east side.
As we hiked up carrying only light daypacks, I reflected on my last trip to Patagonia. Last year I had arrived at El Chalten partnerless. Three Americans took me under their wings and showed me the ropes. After watching me do double 80-pound carries one day, they took me aside and said, “Any fool can suffer, Brady.”
Ben and I got horses this time. Another huge labor savings came when we inherited a spacious snow cave at Paso Superior, the high camp for most climbs on the east side of the Fitz Roy group. We did a few carries between Rio Blanco and the Paso and were quickly installed. At this point, we got our first view of the route. The North Pillar of Fitz Roy rose up 4500 feet from its base, caked with snow and ice. It looked hopeless. Surely we were fooling ourselves thinking we had any chance of climbing it! Beginning to feel defeated by the climb before we had even started, we tried not to think about it too much. One step at a time.
Several days after we arrived, the weather deteriorated, bringing heavy snow and wind. Two French climbers went up to the Paso during that time and very nearly got swept away by an avalanche. They lost a bag of gear while riding a one-meter slab. Ben and I stayed down. The snow soon stopped and enough sun came through to stabilize the snow slopes.
The route we chose followed a huge dihedral that splits the north face of the North Pillar (between the Casarotto Route and the Polish route, “Devil’s Diedro”) which was attempted by an American team last year. We went up and fixed eight pitches from February 8-10, reaching the American high point from last year at pitch seven. After an exciting ice overhang at the bergschrund, the climbing was free and easy, but very snowy and icy, so the going was slow.
I kicked steps for 10 meters in my rockshoes on one pitch. Ugh. It snowed much of the time. Even though low on the climb the huge dihedral blocked most of the wind, belaying was a chilly chore. Ben got the first pitch above the old high point.
He started out by taking a factor-two daisy chain fall on the anchor when a cam blew out. His fall jerked me into the wall as I watched him pass me on the way down. He finished the pitch, calling it A2+, but he’s a horrible sandbagger and agreed to A3 later. We went back down to camp after that.
For some curious reason, my right hand started hurting, and over the next few days the back swelled up. My tendon squeaked audibly when I raised my index finger. I was pretty sure the trip was over for me. Ben ended up finding a partner and tried the Red Pillar on Aguja Mermoz (aka Vela y Viento) to the north of Fitz Roy, while I iced my hand and read books, pretty depressed. I went up to high camp with my stuff a day later, just to see how it would go.
After spending a day fraught with language difficulties and route finding on Aguja Mermoz, Ben was understandably in poor spirits. My hand was pretty much the same, but we organized our gear in our snow cave and decided to continue fixing rope.
The next morning I led an A3 pitch that took us over a roof and out of the dihedral. I took a short daisy chain fall early in the pitch, then an eight-meter whipper when the edge of the crack I was in blew out. I was fine, but went a little slower after that.
Ben led another pitch and we found a fantastic bivy site. A huge flake, separated from the wall, was filled in behind, providing a level surface surrounded by rock walls on all sides. My hand felt okay, so we went down and returned the next afternoon with bivy gear and food for three nights.
We spent a night on top of our lines, and then on February 19, blasted upward. We ran into the old Casarotto line after two more pitches, which was a little bit of a bummer, but it was the best line to take, so we took it. We found that the Casarotto Route has a lot of wide cracks. Ben did a great job on a poorly protected 5.10 off-width flare. Yuck!
We wondered at Casarotto’s feat, as he had soloed the route in 1979, long before camming devices had become “mandatory” gear for off-width cracks. We also wondered at all the junk he left on the route.
Seconding on jugs with a huge pack sucked, but it was a great day. Many pitches included stunning hand cracks. The sun shined all day; there was no wind. We drank meltwater through our blow tube at belays and laughed at our good fortune.
Climbing until midnight, we finally reached the top of the North Pillar. We chopped ledges in some ice bulges for our bivy. Full moon, still no wind. Gazing out over the moonlit landscape, I knew we were in the midst of a fair weather spell that Patagonia climbers dream about.
The next morning we rapped into the notch and looked up at the final headwall. It wasn’t too hard to see why some parties turn back. The face looked terribly steep, with rime ice bulges and hanging ice falls and generally scary looking gnarliness everywhere.
The sun was out in force, so the ice was beginning to fall. Our closest call came on the first pitch out of the notch, when the crack system we had been on just 10 minutes before got hammered by ice fall. Whew.
We followed wide yet relatively moderate cracks for four pitches, then wandered over ice, snow, rock, and rushing waterfalls to the top. We summited at 6pm. After a short food and photo break, we descended the Franco-Argentine Route, partly so we could claim a traverse of the peak, but mostly because I knew the route from last year and rapping the North Pillar would have been a nightmare.
We found the first anchor by following tracks left in the snow by another party. Even though I’d rappelled the same route the year before, it would have been very difficult to find without the tracks. The southern slope of the summit is a sea of snow, ice, and rock devoid of any defining feature. After a relatively pleasant evening of rappelling, we spent a night at the notch on the south side (the bretcha) and finished rappelling the next morning.
My hand was puffed up pretty bad by then, the knuckles turned to dimples. Ben pulled the ropes on the rappels while I watched, idly nursing my hand.
We went to our base camp and crashed hard. The next morning at 9am a French climber we’d met several days before woke us up, saying his partner had broken his ankle while coming down the headwall just below the Paso (our high camp, about three to four hours above us). Seems he neglected to put on his crampons for the icy descent.
We gathered our gear and headed up the rescue, which took all day. After that we were exhausted, but even more gratified to have had the luck to complete such an outstanding route and return unscathed.
Our route is a new variation to the Casarotto Route, and we made the fifth ascent of Fitz Roy via the North Pillar. We named our route the “Diedro Directo” variation to the Casarotto (5.10, A3, 32 pitches), opening 12 new pitches of climbing, up to 5.9 and A3.
We weren’t the only ones who enjoyed the spell of good weather. During the same period, Kevin Thaw and partner made the first all-free, alpine-style ascent of the Czech route on the west side of Fitz Roy. Americans Nate Martin and Tim O’Neill summitted Cerro Torre (with the summit rime ice mushroom) via the Compressor Route. They also did an alpine-style, all-free first ascent on the northwest face of Cerro Stanhardt, 19 pitches, 5.11 WI5 M4, in only 12 hours. Que fuerte!
Mick Pointon and Leigh Mcginely of Great Britain climbed the Ferrari Route on Cerro Torre from the ice cap. Leigh went snow blind in the descent, thinking he had lost his sunglasses, when in fact they were still in his pack! This year, February was the month to be in Patagonia.

'Big clubs' in for Luiz Gustavo
Bayern Munich midfielder Luiz Gustavo could reject a move to Wolfsburg as he holds out for Arsenal or Chelsea to come in for him.
Gustavo, 26, appears certain to leave Munich, having fallen down the pecking order following the signing of Thiago Alcantara and in light of new coach Pep Guardiola's tactical adjustments.
Fellow Bundesliga side Wolfsburg looked to be leading the race for his signature, but Bild believes he would prefer a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal and Chelsea reported to be interested.
Gustavo, a relatively new member of Luiz Felipe Scolari's Brazil squad, appears to be seeking the chance to play in Europe ahead of the 2014 World Cup. Wolfsburg, who finished last season in mid-table, therefore face a tough task in persuading the player to join.
"Big clubs are interested in him," Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told kicker.
Speaking to Sport1, Rummenigge added: "The question is whether Luiz wants to join a club that will sadly not even play [in Europe] next season, or if he wants greater things." | <urn:uuid:77aa23bd-fb4e-408f-97ee-1137261b6699> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://en.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/228465.html?CMP=OTC-RSS | 2015-07-01T05:01:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375094662.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031814-00033-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.945099 | 256 | [

"We built something here that's going to give us a chance every
year," Vogel told reporters at his season-closing news conference.
"This group, as constructed, has room to grow."
After a sterling start that produced a 33-7 record in the first half
of the regular season, the Pacers struggled but managed to hang on
to top-seeding in the East with a 56-26 record.
They needed seven games to get past eighth-seeded Atlanta before
losing to LeBron James and the Heat in the conference finals for the
second season in a row.
"We're still very young. I think that experience matters and I think
that going into another year, (there is) more room for growth," said
Despite rumors that Vogel's job was in jeopardy due to the team's
lackluster finish, the coach won support from management following
the playoffs to return for a fifth season.
Vogel said he believed in the Pacers' ability to thrive with two big
players dominating in the middle, center Roy Hibbert and power
forward David West.
Yet Vogel conceded he needed to get more consistent play from
shot-blocker Hibbert, who was a non-factor in numerous games down
"I think we can win at the highest level with this style of play,"
the coach said, adding that Hibbert has "got to continue to work and
continue to raise his level of play."
The emergence of Paul George gave the Pacers reason to be optimistic
for the future and Vogel said he would like to have the mercurial
but talented Lance Stephenson, who is an unrestricted free agent,
stay with the team.
[to top of second column]
Stephenson, one of the team's most creative players, was widely
criticized for his antics in Game Five of the conference finals when
he was caught on camera blowing into LeBron James's ear, walked into
a Heat huddle and was guilty of flopping.
"I'd like to see him back, clearly," said Vogel, who added that team
president Larry Bird and general manager Kevin Pritchard would be
looking into ways to improve the team through free agency.

by Yigyaggirl on 4/4/2012 7:43:25 PM
I was reallllllyyyy suprised with Jennette. She sounds like most singers with their voices all studio uped and stuff. But her voice cracks a little when she says pieces. That's the only bad thing. You can really tell that she puts her stomach into those notes, not her throat. So professional!
by potterandthedoctor on 4/4/2012 6:56:33 PM
Wow! I had heard some of them sing before on the show, but it doesn't give them enough credit! Stephanie Scott is AMAZING! Honestly, better than Chyna! So is Liz Gillies!! She is much better than Victoria Justice! These sidekicks should be in the spotlight more often!

Latest update: January 4th, 2013
It was when Reb Elimelech assumed the leadership of the chassidic movement that the Austrian Kaiser decreed that before a woman may wed, a tax of 400 golden coins must be paid to the government. This tax was far too exorbitant for the commoner to pay and many feared that they would never be able to marry off their daughters.
In a village not far from Lizhensk lived poor Berish, an upright widower who had a daughter. The girl had reached marriageable age and an appropriate match was proposed. The boy did not seek a dowry, but the new government tax was an insurmountable hurdle for Berish. He feared that he may never be able to marry off his only child, and his desperation and depression knew no bounds.
He figured that his only hope would be to seek Reb Elimelech’s intervention – and off he went to Lizhensk. The entire way he mulled over his bitter plight, and was bursting with animosity and ire. By the time he arrived at Reb Elimelech’s court he had lost all composure and broke in and exclaimed, “Rebbe, I have a din Torah against the Almighty!”
The second the words escaped his mouth he regretted what he had said – such a brazen accusation against Heaven – and in the presence of the holy Reb Elimelech no less! He looked for the nearest exit, but before he could even move, Reb Elimelech beckoned, “Come here, my son.
“I understand that you wish to have a din Torah against the Holy One, blessed be He. Fair enough, but a proper din Torah requires a panel of three judges. So please go summon my dayanim.”
Berish could not believe how matters had unraveled. He was appalled at the situation he had gotten himself into, but once the rebbe had spoken, there was nothing that could be done. He tried to focus on how he would present his case.
The dayanim appeared at the court without delay. Reb Elimelech turned to the poor man and instructed, “State your complaint.”
The dayanim peered down at Berish as he stumbled to find his tongue. “Honorable dayanim,” he began, “The Almighty has given us a Torah with 613 mitzvos, the first of which is “to be fruitful and multiply.” Yet the kaiser has decreed that no Jewish man in this country may marry off his daughter until he pays 400 golden coins to the government. There is hardly a family that can afford this astronomical sum and therefore it means that Jewish daughters will be disqualified from marrying and fulfilling the mitzvah that the Torah has commanded.
“I have a daughter who finally has an opportunity to wed and this royal decree will not permit the shidduch. As long as this edict is in force, it will be impossible for us to fulfill the very first mitzvah in the Torah! I therefore request that this law be annulled.” Having finished his recitation, Berish gulped some air and sat down.
“I imagine,” Reb Elimelech intoned, “that the Holy One would respond, ‘My people are not observing my mitzvos. I must therefore appoint a difficult ruler who will make harsh decrees that will cause them to repent.’ ”
He then paused and added, “According to the law, the litigants must exit as the dayanim deliberate. However, the Almighty fills every corner of the world. It would not be fair to request one of the parties to exit while the other remains; therefore the plaintiff may also remain as the judges clarify the law.”
The rebbe fell silent and his face burned like a flame. After quarter-of-an-hour of silence he opened his eyes and requested a Gemara Gittin.
His will was fulfilled and he opened to page 41, where the Talmud ponders whether a man who is only half-free may wed? Such an individual may not marry a servant, for he is partially free. And he may not marry a free woman, for he is partially a servant. Because of this midway status he will be unable to fulfill the mitzvah of being fruitful and multiplying, and therefore his master must set him free so as not to deny him.
Reb Elimelech stressed the last words, “The master is forced to set him free,” and looked Heavenward – and said no more.
Finally Reb Elimelech addressed Reb Berish and declared, “You may now return home, for the decree has been abolished.”
And indeed, as this poor man returned to his village he heard along the way that the decree had been rescinded, fulfilling the words of the rabbis, “tzaddik gozeir, v’HaKadosh Baruch Hu meka’yem – a tzaddik decrees, and the Holy One, blessed be He fulfills.”
(To be continued)
Chodesh tov – have a pleasant month!

ZeptoLab, the maker of the highly popular Cut the Rope game, is gearing up for the release of a new title for devices running under Google’s Android platform, namely Pudding Monsters.
The new mobile game will become available for download on December 20, but users can already enjoy a sneak preview courtesy of the video trailer embedded above.
The game will provide users with the possibility to take the Pudding Monsters on an adventure that will result in the saving of a friend from being kidnapped by the cold-hearted fridge owner.
This is the first entirely new game coming from the company after the launch of Cut the Rope and Cut the Rope: Experiments in October 2010 and August 2011, respectively.
“We love experimenting with different themes and gameplay mechanics - and Pudding Monsters is exactly the result of that,” said ZeptoLab co-founder Semyon Voinov. | <urn:uuid:e8f961ad-c60f-4a94-a19f-088fec527e1d> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://mobile.softpedia.com/blog/ZeptoLab-s-Pudding-Monsters-Coming-Soon-to-Android-311962.shtml | 2015-07-03T20:22:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096209.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00043-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.934243 | 189 | [

I feel that I wasted a shitload of time with my last post. Afterall, everyone knows that college performance is clearly how one determines future success at the NFL level. Afterall, Chris Weinke, Tim Tebow, Jason White, all of those badass college QBs that ran around a lot and won Heisman's were clearly studs. Tebow winning in 2007 clearly meant that the Falcons had no business drafting Matt Ryan. The Packers clearly should've gone with Leinart over Rodgers.
Get this shit out of here. Now you're going to get blasted for being an idiot because you've proven yourself to be an idiot with 'logic' such as this. | <urn:uuid:3ce9c5bd-0ddb-4824-97e2-dff9df715f63> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=9296818&postcount=107 | 2015-07-05T18:37:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375097546.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031817-00293-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972583 | 211 | [

Did this one for a few challenges this month: Large Photo, One Photo, PageMaps, Stamping and Boys Only.
The cool dudes in the photo are my DH and DS who just became a first time dad. Shortly before Cailet was born he expressed a slight concern as to what type of dad he would be. After he did so, my response was, "you'll be a great dad because you had the best teacher". That prompted this layout. | <urn:uuid:462df386-b7a7-413e-8a4b-a6e694f3c307> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.scrapbook.com/myplace/index.php?mod=galleries&u=145219&m=view&id=4055135&type=-1 | 2015-07-05T17:41:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375097546.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031817-00293-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978945 | 94 | [

The scene was the modestly but tastefully furnished office of Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God. It was late morning of Saturday, December 18, 2010 - the last day of the year's Holy Ghost Congress. Pastor Adeboye’s unusual guests virtually took over the spacious office. It was the crew of the Cable News Network (CNN) led by Christian Purejoy, a lanky 6-footer-plus. His back-up team took quite a while setting up their elaborate equipment - a wide array of cameras and lightings mounted on tripods of varying heights. Seats, framed paintings and pictures where moved and rearranged for the pre-interview rehearsals. At the team leader’s nod Pastor Adeboye was contacted in his exclusive office. The well informed correspondent was ready to fire his questions in his no holds barred interview.
It was not Christian's first time at the Redemption Camp but the interview was certainly a scoop. He had read up everything he could about Pastor Adeboye, the RCCG and the Holy Ghost Congress as his questions revealed. He had also seen much of the sprawling Camp ground. His sojourn in the jungle of the south west Nigeria beside the busy expressway linking Nigeria’s commercial capital, Lagos and the ancient city of Ibadan, known as Redemption Camp, he paid off.
CNN is well known for its worldwide coverage of wars, natural disasters, the environment, the economy and politics. Coverage of a religious meeting inside an African jungle is not its usual kind of story. So, what brought the crew of the most viewed Global Network to the Redemption Camp, now a major landmark in the geography of south west Nigeria?
Redemption camp, now home to many residential apartments, educational institutions, hospitality units and a few banks, hosts the monthly Holy Ghost Service came into being in 1985 as an all-night programme of praise, worship, scriptural exposition, prayers and personal ministrations in answer to Pastor Adeboye’s request that God should rain his blessings upon the congregation. God had asked him at the time to assemble the people to worship and praise the Lord and the promised miracles have been familiar features of the programme. The congress, now a six-day programme, is an expanded version of the monthly programme with the maiden edition in 1998 on the beachside of lekki expressway. Millions of worshippers gathered for all-night programme to celebrate Jesus in a festival-like atmosphere with the theme “Divine Visitation”. The crowd was far more than the expected four million people and it took several hours for vehicular and human traffic to clear after an admittedly awesome night characterised by lively music, preaching, and words of prophecies, signs and wonders.
The second edition was held from December 16 -18, 1999 at the Redemption Camp with an even larger attendance. With the success of the second edition the “Congress Arena” as it was then known was expanded to accommodate the expected increase during the third and fourth editions which were also three-day’s programmes. The Congress became a six-day programme in 2003. The development of the Arena and support facilities at the camp was rapid and extensive with the incorporation of a modern altar, prayer foyer, offices, parking lots and massive deployment of plastic chairs which have now almost completely displaced the old wooden pews. Then came the roofing and the tilling of the floor with further expansion and paving of the access and adjoining roads resulting in a massive auditorium said to be one of the largest worship structure in the world. Traffic flow within and around the camp is also better controlled. Putting an end to the nightmare of the earlier years when worshippers spent several hours on their way to and from programmes. With the provision of more parking lots and better manning of routes, shuttles between the camp and Lagos or other nearby cities which took several hours are now done in less than one hour. The amenities around the Arena and other parts of the Camp have also been expanded and improved for the comfort of worshippers and visitors. More toilets - mobile and fixed - have been built. Water and electricity are adequately supplied all-year round. (Originally published in rccg.org)
The Redeemed Christian Church of God - Annual Holy Ghost Congress 2011 – which promises to be the greatest Christian gathering in the world and themed “A New Thing” has started ... Dec. 12th- 17th 2011. Be there and you can also join online. You will be blessed.

Fourteen rookies have returned punts in the NFL this season.
Six of the 14 play for NFC West teams. A seventh, Jorrick Calvin of Philadelphia, was a Cardinals draft choice this year.
Seattle’s Golden Tate leads NFL rookies with a 25.2-yard average on five returns. The other five rookie punt returners from NFC West teams have 13 returns for 66 yards, good for a 5.1-yard average. They have also accounted for four of the seven fumbles by rookie returners this season.
The Arizona Cardinals’ Andre Roberts did not fumble in his NFL debut as a returner Sunday, but two punts sent his way bounced off teammates. The Oakland Raiders recovered both times. Both punts were shorter than anticipated. Roberts might have been lined up too deep on one of them.
“I’m not down on Andre,” Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt told reporters Monday. “He is a young player. He has got skill in that area and we have to continue to work with him. Fortunately, we were able to still win the game and now we can work on that without the negativity of a loss.”
The chart ranks NFL rookie punt returners by average yards per return. Tate looks like a natural for the role. He has returns of 63 and 31 yards in his first two games (Tate was inactive for the opener).

I am an eighth grader at Pioneer Middle School. I love to read, write and learn. I know for many of my friends, science interests them and they are really looking forward to taking science courses at Walla Walla High School.
But I’m afraid that my fellow students and I won’t get to explore science as much as other schools might. I have heard that the science classrooms smell, are tight when classes are in session and don’t have all the resources needed to complete certain experiments.
I believe science is a field that is growing and becoming more important as the years go by. We are the future adults of the world and I want to know that we have what’s needed for the future ahead.
I’m super excited to go to Wa-Hi next year and explore more career options. Help the future decision makers. Please vote yes for the Wa-Hi bond. | <urn:uuid:93921d87-d9e8-45d6-b81c-7330dad2f8cf> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://union-bulletin.com/news/2014/apr/02/letter-student-seeks-support-wa-hi-bond/ | 2015-07-07T22:20:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375102712.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031822-00233-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962561 | 191 | [

An 89th minute cracking goal from midfielder Shane Duggan gave Cork City a late winner against bottom of the table UCD in the Airtricity Premier Division tonight at Turner's Cross.
David McMillan had given the visitors a 15th minute lead goal from a diving header, but Cork equalised right on half time through a Daryl Kavanagh effort.
Home goalkeeper Mark McNulty saved McMillan's 58th minute penalty, before Tommy Dunne's side struck through Duggan for the 2-1 victory.
Cork made four changes to the side which draw 1-1 in Drogheda, with Dan Murray and Darren Dennehy back in defence and Daryl Kavanagh and Daryl Horgan returning in attack.
The Students have a good record against The Leesiders, beating then twice last season at the UCD Bowl, but they did lose 4-2 in Cork.
There was a stoppage to the action after just five minutes, when assistant referee Ralph Pieper had to limp out of the action with a calf injury.
He was replaced on the touchline by fourth official Alan Kelly.
Then came the lead goal for UCD. A fine right-wing cross from Samir Belhout was headed home by diving centre forward David McMillan, in off the hands of goalkeeper Mark McNulty.
It was a fourth league goal of the season for the striker.
The home side equalised right on the half-time whistle.
A good delivery by Adam Rundle saw Colin Healy head the ball into the path of Daryl Horgan, who's shot was flicked to the net from six yards by Daryl Kavanagh in the 48th minute.
The Students were awarded a penalty in the 58th minute as Cork goalkeeper McNulty brought down striker McMillan, with the number one getting a yellow card from referee Sean Grant.
But McNulty made a great save, diving to his right to keep out McMillan's spot kick as the forward attempted to notch his second goal.
With time running out, the Rebels, who conceded late goals in draws at Drogheda and Shamrock Rovers, as well as losing last home game to Derry to a late penalty, hit the winner.
Shane Duggan belted home a 25 yard shot past Mark McGinley and sending the 2,076 supporters home happy with Cork up to fifth in the league table.
Cork: McNulty; Dunleavy, D Murray, Dennehy, Murphy; D Horgan, Duggan, Healy, Morrissey, Rundle(Behan 58); Kavanagh(Furlong 73).
UCD: McGinley; Matthews, D O'Connor, Boyle(Douglas 79), Langtry; Russell, Burke, Creevy, Kavanagh (Walsh 69), Belhout (McCabe h/t) ;McMillan.

The legendary jazz arranger and producer of 'Thriller' and 'We Are the World' has a full slate of projects. And 22 girlfriends.
BEL AIR, Calif. — Quincy Jones turns 80 on Thursday, a milestone he'll celebrate privately with his family. But the storied music impresario has too many friends, protégés, admirers and close business and charity associates to stop there.
He and British actor Michael Caine, born within minutes of each other on opposite sides of the Atlantic, will be toasted April 13 at an all-star benefit in Las Vegas. The close pals, who met 45 years ago when Jones was scoring the soundtrack for Caine's The Italian Job, will cut loose at a second shindig July 24 in London. Another glittery 80th bash for Jones rolls out July 21 in Montreux, with two more slated July 31 and Aug. 1 in Tokyo.
He may be 81 before the Champagne runs out.
"It's all over the world!" Jones marvels. He's quick to point out that the festivities are not retirement parties. "I'm not leaving yet. I look back and it feels like 20 people did this. It's been a life, man! And there's still a lot out there."
Jones will be doing more than blowing out candles this year. He's producing a half-dozen albums by mostly newbies, including composer/pianist Emily Bear, 11, and singer Nikki Yanofsky, 19. Another pairs bebop trumpeter Clark Terry and rapper Snoop Dogg.
His new artist management consultancy handles acts ranging from Pan-Asian girl group Blush to guitar prodigy Andreas Varady, 15. In August, he'll stage the World Peace Concert in Hiroshima.
Jones is also developing four Broadway shows, including one on his life story, and nine movies, from a biopic on Russian poet Alexander Pushkin to tales of Chicago gangsters. And he's composing a musical on the evolution of jazz, his life's passion.
The teenage Jones joined Lionel Hampton's band as a trumpeter and rapidly navigated the jazz world, collaborating with all his heroes: Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Jordan, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan, Louis Armstrong.
One genre couldn't hold him, and Jones made indelible stamps in pop, rap, rock and indefinable fusions. He'll be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 18.
"Yeah, 27 years later," he says with a mock sneer. He presented the honor to Ray Charles, his best friend, at the inaugural ceremony in 1986 and has been passed over until now. "But I'm going to be a gentleman. I have a lot of friends there that I don't want to offend. And it's another chance to be in the family with all my brothers — James Brown, Jackie Wilson, people I came up with."
Jones, sipping wine and sampling veggies and guacamole left by his housekeeper, is perched on an ottoman in the huge round living room of his 20,000-square-foot hilltop home, designed by architect Gerald Allison, a fellow alum of Garfield High School in Seattle. Beams separate the domed ceiling into a dozen sections, representing the zodiac and the musical scale.
"In 500 years, we've had only 12 notes to work with," Jones says. "My quest was to hear what everybody has done with those 12 notes and to see what I could do with them."
Those notes took Jones to the Grammy Awards podium 27 times (from a record 79 nominations). He produced Michael Jackson's Thriller, the world's top-selling album, and the all-star We Are the World, the fastest-selling single ever. His name appears as a producer, composer, conductor, arranger or performer on more than 400 albums. He composed roughly 35 film scores.
He co-produced The Color Purple and introduced Oprah Winfrey to a national audience. She earned one of the film's 11 Oscar nominations. He also produced the Broadway version.
He was the first black conductor of the Academy Awards in 1971 and produced the telecast in 1996. TV credits include writing the Sanford and Son theme, the Emmy-winning Roots score and producing The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He founded Vibe magazine.
The impulse to explore media, geopolitics, social activism, philanthropy and education started at age 13.
"I was reading Omar Khayyam, Kahlil Gibran, Rumi, L. Ron Hubbard, all sorts of philosophy," Jones says. "Bebop cats are like that. Curious. I wanted to know about everything."
Alarmingly, Jones' earliest goal was to hook up with the criminal elements of Chicago's South Side, where his father was a carpenter.
"I wanted to be a gangster until I was 11," he says, flipping through a tattered paperback about underworld figures. "These guys were running the numbers racket in five-and-dime stores. Every day, I saw a dead body. The gangs were organized, very tight. They don't play."
"A gang caught me on the wrong street once and that's how I got my medal," he says, pointing to a scar on his hand where it had been nailed to a fence with a switchblade. "Chicago was rough. It made Harlem and Compton look like Boys Town. I thought it was glamorous: tommy guns and stogies and piles of money in back rooms. They were vicious criminals but we took it for granted, and that's sick."
Had a piano not shifted his focus, "I would have been dead or in prison," Jones says. "As soon as I started playing instruments, I started hearing other instruments, and I fell in love with orchestration. It always fascinated me."
In 1957, he studied composition with renowned teacher Nadia Boulanger in Paris, bringing a classical sensibility to his big-band experience.
"Nadia said she had to treat jazz musicians differently because they shack up with music first, then they court it and marry it later," Jones says. "I said I wanted to go all the way. Instead of just four trombones, four trumpets, five saxes and a rhythm section, I wanted brass, woodwinds, strings. I was digging into the orchestration of Ravel."
His talent and voracious ambition set the stage for decades of challenging and successful projects with the biggest names in entertainment.
"When you work with Ray Charles, Billy Eckstine and Frank Sinatra, and you tell them to jump without a net, you better know what you're talking about," Jones says. "Thank God I was ready for it."
Bono, who teamed with Jones on the Jubilee 2000 campaign to cancel third world debt, says, "No one has made music for six decades, where the sound of those recordings couldn't have been imagined 10 years before. I think Miles had five. But Q, it's six big ones. That's a different level of maestro."
Duality is at the heart of Jones and his best music, says the U2 singer, who hears "a coolness in the way those melodies are dressed, yet the rhythms are in heat. He's been old and young forever — so many years and styles behind him, but still young in the face he presents. He's way beyond establishment but still street. How does he do that? Duality.
"He's been in charge of who is in charge for so long," Bono adds. "If music has had The Chairman, The Boss, Duke, Prince, The King, well, then Quincy Jones is The President."
Ed Eckstine, former president of Mercury Records and son of late swing era singer/bandleader Billy Eckstine, started his career with an 11-year stint as executive vice president of Quincy Jones Productions.
"There must be 28 hours in his day," says Eckstine. "He really doesn't stop. I've known him my entire life and started working for him after he released Body Heat (1974), a transitional album that took him from soundtracks and big bands to the modern age of the record business. He asked me what I wanted to do. I said, 'be a producer.' He said, 'We already have one of those.'
"Quincy had enormous success building his empire, and I was fortunate enough to be his right-hand man," Eckstine says. "He laid the groundwork for my success. It was interesting to watch him in the studio. Just when you think he's not paying attention, he'd say, 'Try this,' and you'd see the voilà moment. He knows how to execute his vision. He's extremely creative, so freaking curious and one of the most positive people I know."
Upbeat and unflappable, Jones' pique flashes only on pet issues of injustice, war and music education, a chief concern of a 400-member consortium he's formed with schools, businesses and such artists as Carlos Santana and Herbie Hancock. He's partnered with Playground Sessions to bring music software to school kids. He's annoyed that the USA lacks a minister of culture (who's better qualified than Q?).
"America has the most beloved and most copied music in the world, and every country knows more about it than we do," he says. The knowledge gap goes beyond jazz or blues. Few rappers realize the genre sprang from West African griots through Delta slave songs to jazz poetry and the comedic trash talk of "the dozens." "I was rapping in 1939. It's old. The roots are complex. And kids don't know."
Jones also gets perturbed on the subject of his most famous studio partner, Michael Jackson, saying, "All these people talk about Michael, and they don't know a damn thing. They weren't there."
He declines to address the particulars of the late pop star's decline, but says, "It's a complicated story. When you get thrown out there at the age of 5, it's hard to take unless you're spiritually grounded."
Jones hasn't escaped misfortune. His mother suffered from mental illness. In 1958, a touring musical went belly-up, stranding him and his band in Europe for 10 months and leaving him with debts that took seven years to repay. A brain aneurysm in 1974 required two operations that left six steel pins in his head. Work stress and his failing marriage to third wife Peggy Lipton triggered a nervous breakdown in 1989.
"I've never been happier," says Jones, known as much for his social brio and libido as his work ethic. "I party. I got a master's degree in that."
He moves in a circle of stunning diversity, with friends ranging from Bill Clinton, Colin Powell, Jordan's Queen Rania and Nelson Mandela to Bono, Stevie Wonder and Barbra Streisand.
He has seven children, ages 20 to 60, from three wives and two girlfriends. He was romantically involved for six years with Lisette Derouaux, but they hit a snag on the issue of children.
"I can't have a rug rat right now, like cats and dogs, scratching all my (expletive) up," Jones says with a chuckle. "I'm done with that."
Always in search of harmony, Jones "fixed her up," introducing Derouaux to LinkedIn chief Jeff Weiner. They wed and had two children.
Jones is playing the field: "I have 22 girlfriends," he says. That's not a typo.
And why not? He's in fine health. After a recent visit, self-help author Tony Robbins delivered a $22,000 bioDensity exercise machine to Jones' house.
"All the athletes use it," Jones says. "My workouts are 10 minutes and five seconds. Two days ago, I lifted 388 pounds and then 2,200 pounds, almost a ton, but only for five seconds."
He extends his forearm. "Feel that. Isn't that something? The doctor told me, 'I can keep you here until you're 110, if you behave.' Can I start behaving at 109?" | <urn:uuid:e258a2b3-5203-4b69-9efd-afef31902c59> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2013/03/13/quincy-jones-turns-80/1983777/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+usatoday-LifeTopStories+%28USATODAY+-+Life+Top+Stories%29 | 2015-07-07T22:30:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375102712.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031822-00233-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979276 | 2,554 | [

Just after 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, fire crews arrived to find the two-bedroom mobile home engulfed in flames. It's located off of Highway 27 in Geneva. Officials believe an electrical short in a back room ignited the fire.
Charles and Tabbitha Lewis, along with 22-month-old Seth, were not inside. They drove up to find everything they'd worked for "up in smoke."
The Lewis family did not have insurance, and lost everything they own. If you would like to help them get back on their feet, an account has been set up at the American Bank in Geneva, P. O. Box 70, Geneva, Alabama 36340. The checking account number is 0516-0567.

THE owner of a barn conversion in Ewelme has described it as being “like a blanket that wraps round you and keeps you safe and warm”.
The Carthouse is a former agricultural cart shed that was professionally and skilfully converted some 16 years ago to create a wonderful light and spacious detached five-bedroom family home.
Suzanne James has lived there for four years having moved there from Marlow, seduced by the beautiful property and its wonderful location.
Now she is looking to move back to her roots and is reluctantly putting her home on the market.
“It is an unusual barn conversion in that it has a really warm, Scandinavian feel. Quite often barn conversions can feel like very large open spaces but this one has all the proportions and character but still feels really cosy.”
The brick-and-flint property is one of the oldest buildings in the village, and was converted by its architect owner with great attention to detail.
The accommodation comprises a reception area with exposed brickwork and built-in storage cupboards, open plan to the drawing room and dining area with a magnificent vaulted and beamed ceiling, modern inglenook-style fireplace with a Scan wood stove, full-width glazing to the front, two open galleries/mezzanine levels at either end of the room and doors leading to the guest bedroom and study.
Rather than being of dark wood, the exposed beams are light, continuing the Scandinavian feel and the large windows allow plenty of natural light to flood in.
And while the living areas are largely open plan, Suzanne has planned the space so each area has its own identity, creating comfortable little nooks in which to relax.
The guest bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and ensuite shower room. The study has access to one of the mezzanine levels which has a vaulted ceiling and overlooks the drawing room while the second mezzanine level is accessed from the drawing room and has a vaulted ceiling with a door leading to a storage/boiler room.
The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of units with a double stainless steel sink, fresh water tap, four ring Bosch ceramic hob with extractor hood above, Miele microwave, Bosch oven, beamed ceiling and a door leading to the rear garden.
The utility room has space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, small Butler-style sink, water softener and a door leading to the rear garden.
The master bedroom suite features a dual aspect sitting/study area with a door leading to the rear garden and coved walkway to the double garage, vaulted ceiling, stairs leading up to the bedroom area with three Velux windows to the rear, vaulted and beamed ceiling, exposed brick-and-flint wall and a concealed walk-in storage and wardrobe area, ensuite bathroom with bath and shower over.
There are three further bedrooms all of which have galleries with individual staircases and eaves storage. One of the main features of the property is the mezzanine levels which create extra living space or provide vast amounts of storage space.
To the front of the property there is a wide driveway providing ample off-road parking, a double garage and a workshop area. To the rear of the property there is a brick and glass greenhouse and beautifully landscaped gardens with banks of mature shrubs and flowers, two plum trees, a cherry tree and two apple trees. The centre of the garden has an attractive terrace with a raised pond. While the barn conversion has plenty of character and charm it benefits from a central vacuum system, underfloor heating and is wired for an integrated speaker system.
Suzanne added: “It has been a magical place to live and I will be very sad to leave but I am moving into an exciting new chapter in my life. It is a lovely village and there is always something going on, while the neighbours are lovely. There is so much potential to make a wonderful family home here — I hope the new owners will be as happy as I have been.”
The property is available through Ballards for a guide price of £1.2 million. | <urn:uuid:04345110-afa1-4b52-a37e-d8fc7fe734b2> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.henleystandard.co.uk/business/business.php?id=1458439 | 2015-07-01T16:57:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095183.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00173-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958823 | 860 | [

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - New U.S. homes sold at an annual rate of 504,000 in May to mark the highest level in six years, the government said Tuesday. Yet the surprising gain - economists polled by MarketWatch expected a 440,000 increase - was led by a huge surge in the Northeast. The region typically has the fewest sales in the U.S. and the seasonally adjusted numbers can be particularly volatile. Just a month before in April, for instance, sales in the Northeast were the smallest in almost two years. Meanwhile, sales climbed 34% in the West and 14.2% in the South. A bounceback after a winter-induced lull may have boosted sales in the warmer spring months Sales rose just 1.4% in the Midwest, however. The median price of new homes rose 4.6% to $282,000 last month. The supply of new homes on the U.S. market dropped to 4.5 months at the current sales pace from 5.3 months in April. New home sales were 16.9% higher in May compared to one year ago. In April, however, they were 6% lower, showing how erratic the report on new home sales can be.

The following were adopted at the Annual General Meeting of the OHL Board of Governors held on August 17, 2012.
OHL Playoff Schedule:
The OHL will be adjusting its playoff format from the current alternating game format and will now see the first two (2) games played in the home centre of the team which finished higher in the standings, followed by the next two (2) games to be played in the other team’ centre, with the balance of the games in the series alternating.
Video Replay Rule 38.4:
The following situations have been added to those areas subject to review by the Video Goal Judge:
- The puck is hand-passed to a teammate in the offensive zone who subsequently scores.
- The puck is high-sticked to a teammate in the offensive zone who subsequently scores.
Refusing to Play the Puck - Rule 72:
In order to accentuate the speed and skill of the players, if in the opinion of the referee it is deemed that the game has come to a standstill due to no advancement of the puck, the whistle shall be blown with the resulting faceoff at centre ice with it understood that the teams are not permitted to make a line change.
Note: Not advancing the puck shall include, but is not limited to a player remaining behind his net with the puck for an extended period of time or regrouping behind his net without moving the puck on more than two (2) consecutive occasions.
- If a player is assessed a fighting major for the 11th – 15th time during the regular season, such player is assessed an automatic two (2) game suspension for each additional fighting major in addition to any other penalties assessed.
- If a player is assessed a fighting major for the 16th time or more during the regular season, such player is assessed an automatic two (2) game suspension and the hockey club is fined $1,000.00 for each additional fighting major in addition to any other penalties assessed.
- If a player is deemed to be the instigator in any of the fights above the ten (10) game threshold, such player would be assessed an automatic four (4) game suspension in addition to any other penalties assessed.
Note: If a player is instigated upon, the fighting major is not included in the player’s total number of fights.
Such policy was made based on recommendations of the OHL Competitions Committee at their meeting in June, 2012, and ratified at the Annual General Meeting in August, 2012. | <urn:uuid:32a15fc7-da2c-4d08-8f69-2f787d740786> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.ontariohockeyleague.com/article/ohl-announces-changes-for-2012-13/127127 | 2015-07-04T01:39:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096293.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00113-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970204 | 518 | [

Every few years in London it gets to be some number in the idiotic Celsius degrees that cause millions of pasty white Anglo-Saxons to march down to their nearest rocky beach and burn themselves crimson. Sure, decent wage earning Brits routinely invade the beaches of Southern Europe throughout the year, but when they start flocking to Brighton, it’s like some kind of evolutionary gambit. How many will die beneath the scorching 78 degree burning heat? Was it wise to ever disrobe the layers of animal furs and trenchcoats that keep the alabaster skinned Northerners internal body temperatures at survivable levels? Many will perish along these beaches. But the Brits will sally forth.
