Kansas City Star - September 19, 2009 "The Khaarijee is heartbreakingly vivid. Kabul no longer seems far away or so easy to ignore."
Kirkus Reviews - September 22, 2009 "Timely and compelling, Garcia provides a glimpse beyond the easy headlines."
PopMatters - December 4, 2009 "The book is interspersed with poignant, artfully-told tales of the Afghans that he meets in his quest
for the next article. But The Khaarijeeis primarily the accessible, genuine, personal story of how this particular outsider navigates
life in a poor, war-torn, and politically volatile country."
The Internet Review of Books - February 1, 2010 "There's no question Garcia is a talented writer…His use of dialogue shows there's more
to journalism than the inverted pyramid, and his tone is so sincere that readers are sure to turn each page with respect."
The Wall Street Journal, January 17, 2008 "The West has failed to deliver on the development promises it made to Afghanistan, says
journalist Malcolm Garcia in The Virginia Quarterly Review, as he ponders his own unfulfilled promises made to a band of Kabul orphans
he befriended during a reporting stint in 2004…."
"Mr. Garcia finally tracked down three of the orphaned kids. They were out of school, but eager to return. Each earns about $6 a week,
doing things like selling tea or fixing bikes. Mr. Garcia considered promising them $100 a month for an education, but in the end only
promised to come up with the money. 'I feel like America,' he says. 'I got these boys thinking about their futures and then jumped ship."
Dave Eggers, San Francisco Chronicle, November 28, 2009 "[ Garcia's ] Afghani election story is amazing. It happened weeks ago, but the
piece is timeless, in the same way you read John Hersey on Hiroshima today."

Are you sure?
This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
The tomb of China's First Emperor, guarded by an underground army of terra-cotta warriors, has remained sealed for more than 2,000 years. Though it's regarded as one of the greatest archaeological sites in the world, the Chinese government won't allow anyone to open it. Why?
That question is at the heart of a dilemma faced by former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone, whose life is shattered when he receives an anonymous note carrying an unfamiliar Web address. Logging on, he sees Cassiopeia Vitt, a woman who's saved his life more than once, being tortured at the hands of a mysterious man who has a single demand: Bring me the artifact she's asked you to keep safe. The only problem is, Malone doesn't have a clue what the man is talking about, since Cassiopeia has left nothing with him. So begins Malone's most harrowing adventure to date-one that offers up astounding historical revelations, pits him against a ruthless ancient brotherhood, and sends him from Denmark to Belgium to Vietnam then on to China, a vast and mysterious land where danger lurks at every turn.

MLS, or multiple listing system, is a facility for the orderly correlation and dissemination of listing information to better serve brokers' clients, customers and the public.
"NAR India, which is affiliated with the National Association of Realtors in the US, is the largest organised association of realtors in India," IndiaMLS said in a statement.
"In addition to providing the top real estate technology solution in the market, IndiaMLS will also assist NAR-India in preparing an education and certification curriculum for brokers," it added.
Jay Patel, founder of IndiaMLS, said: "This is a great accomplishment for IndiaMLS as it paves the road for our company to take our MLS software pan-India."
International accounting firm KPMG estimates the size of the real estate sector may increase five-fold to reach $676 billion by 2025.
"About 91 million people shifted to cities over the last decade resulting in the development of about 2,774 new cities, taking the total number of cities to 7,935," said NAR-India.
"The urbanisation resulted in development of 51 million new houses in urban areas. This is a huge opportunity for brokers as well, to offer their professional services," it added.

The idea of male superiority prevailed for several centuries; fierce opposition to the concept, which is progressively gaining strength, only appeared on the twentieth century.
Men considered themselves to be not only physically stronger, but also smarter, more creative and more sensible, which gave them control over their whole family. They had the power to belittle and humiliate their wives and had social and sexual freedoms forbidden to women.
These rights came with a set of duties: they were supposed to provide and care for their families, guard their daughters' purity and keep other men away from their wives, protecting them from thieves and womanizers. They sacrificed themselves to support their family and their honor was contingent on results, always a huge emotional and physical burden on men – who live, on average, seven years less than women.
However, although men do not have as many special rights anymore, their list of obligations only grows. Here are just a few examples:
1. They feel they must always be sexually available to their wives, not to mention to other women (considering women were not granted the freedom, in the past, to clearly express their feelings, this kind of pressure was non-existent.)
2. Any failure in this arena, which is becoming increasingly common – as women are becoming more straightforward and intimidating to men – ruins their self-esteem.
3. They must proposition every available woman (and there are many now), unless they want to be mocked by their friends.
4. They can't say no to sex, neither at home or anywhere else.
5. They must be able to bring women to orgasm, which, until a few decades ago, was not a concern expressed by neither men, nor women.
6. They have to meet women's erotic expectations, which include being in shape, as women, now, also judge men by their physical attributes.
This list could be even longer, as women demand more from men, these days.
The modern world is rife with change; men should enjoy it and learn to improve their own condition, instead of burying themselves under duty.
The male emancipation motto should be: "Down with sexism!"

Christmas decor to reflect the year 1861 at the Va. Governors Mansion
Since 1813 this federal style structure is the oldest occupied governors residence in the United States. Steve and I toured the Mansion set in the year 1861. Simple but elegant decorations. Greenery over the doorways. Mistle toe hanging from the chandelier as we walked in. Here are a few pictures.
upstair windows had the wreaths
Steve waiting at the entrance, we didn't realize we could have just walked in.
Notice the simple green wreaths, elegant all by themself with out a bow.
Mistletoe hanging from chandelier
Looking ahead as we enter is the tree on a table with all hand made decorations
fabric folded stars, cloth angels.
I understand that the handkercheifs the soldiers left behind while they went off to war were fashioned into
ornaments for the tree like this angel
paper chains, little crotchet doilies.
greenery collected from surrounding counties above door ways
table set for guests. Above the table - Virgin Queen Elizabeth 1- whom Virginia is named for
decorated trees in niches
I liked the way the chandelier was picking up light in here.
George Washington statue in background and live green wreaths on gate

Hotel Jefferson
Steve and I rode downtown this past Friday to see the tree at the Hotel Jefferson. It was rainy and chilly, a good day for being inside and taking in the Christmas decorations. The hotel was to open on November 1, 1895, it did not as it was realized at the last minute that it is considered bad luck to start anything on a Friday, was opened Halloween instead. Hotel Jefferson is recognized as Richmond's grandest hotel and one of the finest in America. Building of the hotel began in 1892 Lewis Ginter who made millions by marketing the pre rolled cigarette commissioned Carrere and Hastings to create his wishes.
The Rolling Stones, Dolly Parton , Elvis Presley and Henry James stayed here.
Beautiful architecture
At the entrance is an alligator with a Christmas ball in his mouth. Here is an explanation of the alligator posted at entrance.
I like to decorate with nutcrackers . The red , gold and silver is so pretty.

Project Haiti
This is our manager, Lynn Sarah holding her very first staff meeting
Lynn Sarah and Janet setting up the inventory system.
Lynn Sarah about to open the store!
Our very first transaction.
Lynn Sarah working with IT before the grand opening.
The team ready to start Day 1.
A couple of pictures of our products on the shelves!
The background
It starts with the orphan. The orphans of Les Cayes, Haiti, are children who've been rescued from slavery, abandoned by their parents, or orphaned by disease and death. They are the poorest, most vulnerable members of society, but our dream is for them to someday be leaders equipped to transform their country.
We believe that will not be accomplished by "relief" efforts, but by supporting local Haitians through placing orphans in loving Haitian families, supporting these families in long term sustainable ways, providing education and spiritual guidance, and contributing to the needs of the children and the community at large through creating new and sustainable economies through business development.
It currently costs over $1.5 million annually to support the 200+ kids and their families in southwest Haiti. The costs for housing, development, pastors, counselors, provisions, schools, research and development, ranch and vocation school development, etc in Haiti are extensive. The next phase in the robust plan to move the Haitians toward a self-sustainable support system is business development which will provide jobs for locals and income to off-set costs that fall burden to the US. To that end, LHC is helping to create a new grocery shopping experience in Les Cayes, Haiti – imagined by Haitians, built by Haitians, run by Haitians.
Project Haiti
Here's what it is, how we're doing it, and how you can be involved.
The Approach
Our approach is very simple: equip, educate, and empower Haitian nationals, so that – on their own – they may create for themselves the social and economic infrastructure needed for long-term prosperity.
Love Has Come (LHC) has partnered with Loving Shepherd Ministries (LSM)
http://www.loving-shepherd.org in Haiti, where LSM is considered a leader in the orphan care movement through their innovational and sustainable in-country approach.
Our purpose is not relief work – we focus on long term sustainability. It's difficult and high risk, but effective.
Brief History and Project Description
Most relief efforts have failed in Haiti. First, because they are temporary and second, because they're often centered around western values difficult to translate to Haitians.
Love Has Come and Loving Shepherd Ministries take a different approach. Relief isn't what's needed. Long-term sustainable transformation is. LSM's established work with orphans in Les Cayes means that children are kept in country, nurtured in loving homes, provided education, and will be equipped with a post-secondary education.
What's Happening Now:
- 19 Homes of Hope: two parents and up to twelve children
- 35-acre Horticulture and Animal Science Ranch and Vocational School
- Community tending to the needs of HIV-positive children
- Schools & community centers
- Staffing
- 153 Haitian
- 5 Americans
- And this little beauty:
What's Next:
Rather than provide temporary relief, LHC is partnering with LSM to establish independent, sustainable revenue sources through domestic Haitian businesses.
Enter: Nouvelle Aube!
Love Has Come's work with LSM and research in the area has shown that the people of Les Cayes need a reliable source for fresh food. A new grocery store is a project Haitians see as worthwhile and viable, and the income it will generate will help fund orphan projects throughout southwest Haiti.
Nouvelle Aube , or "New Dawn," will be the test pilot for the larger, permanent market that we plan to establish at the 40-acre business park, now under development.
Organizational Philosophy
Love Has Come and Loving Shepherd Ministries are in Haiti not to convert their culture to our western ways, but solely to support, empower, and equip Haitians to succeed on their own. Through sustainable business, we teach fundamental values – accountability, honesty, leadership, and courage – that merge with the rich Haitian culture and lead to inspiring stories of success.
The only way to move the extensive, life-long orphan support infrastructure toward financial independence is to provide revenue through domestic business. A sustainable market is our first business venture and we'll launch it in March, 2018.
Our efforts in Haiti require dollars from the US. The entire operations cost for everything – schools, orphan care, community and business development – comes to a grand total of $1.75M per year. The four biggest line items are:
- $781,500 Homes of Hope
- $242,000 Vocational Ranch
- $71,000 business development
- $504,000 HIV community ($410,000 one-time expense to build a school so operating costs are about $94,500)
Every dollar counts – you can give today HERE.
How to be involved
To date we have invested over $80,000 in the remodel and acquisition of infrastructure at our store location. To successfully launch in March, 2018 we are in need of approximately $66,400. This will allow us to properly inventory and account for three months operating capital. Thank you for considering joining us in the journey.
CONTACT US. Whether you're a single mom on a tight budget or a corporation with millions to give away, we want to talk to you about how you can help.
DONATE. Give from your bank or PayPal account.
EXPERTISE. If you have a skill to lend contact us.
SHARE THE VISION. We love talking about this. There are many, many ways to get involved. Reach out to us and we'll begin the discussion.

Joan's father had bullied and abused her all her life. He'd yelled, scolded, chastised, taunted and emotionally terrorized her. He'd been manipulative, sneaky and lying. He never admitted anything was his fault. He'd always blamed on her; everything was her fault. He still treats her the same way. He's a narcissistic, control freak. Joan could never understand why he treated her that way. She hadn't deserved it. She knew he'd had a terrible childhood, but she didn't deserve to be the one he took it out on.
Now, he's in his late 80s and Joan could see that he was sinking rapidly.
On the one hand, Joan was angry and vindictive. On the other hand, she felt guilty and ashamed of her dislike and hatred of him.
How can she resolve things with him before he dies?
Sporadically, through the years after she'd left home and made her own life, she'd tried talking with him about how he treats her but he'd always rejected her attempts, calling her weak and bad. He never admitted he'd done any of the things she said. That led to the usual angry rant about her failings and what she owed him. And a demand that he'll never talk about that again.
Sometimes she never wants to see him any more. But he's her father; how can she feel that way? Think of what she owes him.
How can she resolve things with him before he dies?
Of course, she's going to try once more. And maybe a miracle will happen. But my experience is that any change would be extremely rare. I've see most people recover from near-death experience and be unchanged. They immediately cover themselves with their old costume of abuse and bullying.
I've seen a sexually manipulative perpetrator on his death bed try to grope his daughter, just like he did when he molested her for years when she was young.
It doesn't matter if Joan looks at her father as a sociopath or a poor, abused soul who never could overcome his rotten childhood. Her sympathy, compassion, forgiveness, unconditional love or understanding likely won't change him.
The real question for Joan is what she means by "resolution" and where she really wants to get internally.
If, by resolution:
- She means that they'll have a heart-felt talk, and she'll say her say again but this time he'll admit to all he did and apologize and ask for her forgiveness, she's probably going to be disappointed. No matter how much she begs, bribes or tries to appease him, likely he won't change. He'll still insist he never did anything bad to her and it's all her fault. Also, he'll never tell everyone to whom he bad-mouthed her, that she was actually a good daughter and he was simply mean and nasty. So the task for her is to accept that she can't change him and to find a mental place in which to keep him that doesn't stimulate any self-bullying by blame, shame or guilt – just like he'd do to her again if he had the opportunity.
- She means that she can come to like him and they'll part friends, she'll be disappointed again. They're not friends. We can't be friends with someone who has beaten us, mentally, emotionally or spiritually, no matter how hard we try. A survival part of us doesn't want us to get close enough so they can abuse us once more. The task for her is to let the anger and hatred motivate her to get distance, no matter what he thinks of her or accuses her of.
- She means that she wants to forgive herself for continuing to exaggerate his good side and to have hope he'd change so she continually put herself and her family in harm's way trying to prove that she was worthy of love, respect and good treatment, she can have that because that's in her control. Her task is to find an inner place to put him so that instead of feeling overwhelmed and beaten, or angry and vindictive when she thinks of him, she'll feel strong, courageous and determined to stop any other bullies and to create an Isle of Song for herself and her family.
His behavior tells her about him. It doesn't tell her anything about her and what she deserves. Instead, she needs to take power over her life.
Should she stay at his bedside while he passes? If she wants to be with him at the end in order to assuage any guilt she may have for missing a last possible chance for resolution, then she should be there as long as she won't let him hurt her feelings any more; as long as she doesn't expect anything more than he's always been.
Should she have her children visit him at the end? Again that depends on what she wants from the interactions. If he's been manipulative and rotten to her children, or bad-mouthed her to them, then I wouldn't let them be subjected to that again. In age and stage appropriate ways, she can talk to them now and as they grow.
For contrasting outcomes in dealing with abusive, bullying parents, see the case studies of Carrie, Kathy, Doug, Jake and Ralph in "How to Stop Bullies in Their Tracks," available fastest from this web site. Expert coaching by phone or Skype helps. We can design a plan that fits you and your situation. And build your will and skill to carry it out effectively.

The channels are owned by Viacom18, a joint venture between MTV to Nickelodeon broadcaster Viacom and India's Network 18 Group.
Entertainment channel Colors and sister channel Rishtey can now been found on channels 661 and 662. Colors is the main station for owner Viacom18; it first launched in the UK and Ireland on 25th January 2010 via Sky. The channel went free-to-air in September 2013.
Rishtey broadcasts re-runs of shows shown on Colors and first launched in the UK and Ireland in 2012.
The launch of further South Asian channels on Freesat is a major coup for the free-to-air satellite TV operator - traditionally most Asian channels have only been distributed via Sky or cable operators in the UK and Ireland. Freesat also boasts two Asian music channels: B4U and Zee TV's Zing on channels 504 and 509 respectively.

Making Sure Your Asset Runs Efficiently
Combining Engineering, Field Work To Design & Optimize Asset Operations
Extensive knowledge and experience is required not only to fully understand how an asset should work, but also to know how to maintain efficient working conditions. Each facility is different, presenting new and unique challenges.
In order to tackle these challenges, GATE Energy has a centralized Asset Management Team that combines the multidisciplinary engineering and field workforce to provide design and operational support focusing on the integrity management, flow assurance management and process efficiency. This entails utilizing a methodical systems approach supported by custom-designed management tools so that the most cost-effective options, that allow the facility to operate at its highest production, potential are identified and designed for.
The skill set required to achieve such cost-optimized solutions draws on the core strengths of the GATE Energy Asset Management team including:
Integration of the engineering efforts and interface management from production facilities through pipeline terminals is accomplished by the centralized multi-discipline team.
Work by the functional groups at the facility is coordinated to eliminate the duplicate efforts and isolated applications. Instead, we yield to interdependent coherent solutions by the knowledge confined in the centralized team covering the areas of corrosion management, fluid flow, production chemistry, process and fluid flow control, and surveillance and monitoring.
Utilization of system-wide approach focuses on individual locations and components whilst maintaining awareness of the larger system around them.

Develop functional operating plans and management procedures.
Provide continuous improvement through effective and coherent data management, modeling and evaluations.
Minimize HSE integrity and operational risks to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) levels.
Apply informed financial decisions to establish the desired balance between CAPEX and OPEX.
Highest possible production throughput (highest capacity).
Optimize resource allocation through centralized engineering, data and manpower capabilities
Asset Management Team
The Asset Management Team will bring experienced personnel together who have trained and worked in multi-disciplinary projects with a focus in respective specialty services. Knowledge depth embedded in this team empowers the ability to shift focus and staffing alignments depending on the field characteristics and the Client's operating philosophy.
The team is formed by experienced engineers mostly with advanced degrees and/or PEs in metallurgical and materials engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and subsea engineering.
With this team, we ensure that the:
- Operator will have a dedicated and accountable person to keep constant and efficient two-way communication between GATE Energy and the Operator.
- Information can be shared immediately with the team from the centralized source.
- From gathering data to reporting and implementation of findings, experienced engineers are assigned.

- Absorbed well
- Non-greasy
- Can slightly improve the appearance of dark circles
- Clumpy texture
- Did not soften testers' skin
- Failed to significantly lighten dark circles
While none of the treatments significantly reduced dark circles, the vitamin K oxide-infused Auriderm Illume Eye Creme lightened them slightly in our lab tests, and the majority of participants agreed that the cream diminished the darkness while moisturizing the eye area. "It seems to lighten my circles a bit, though not as much as I'd like," one volunteer noted. "But there is a difference." Although a bit clumpy, testers told us that the crème absorbed well and wasn't greasy or shiny. We found this product was best at moisturizing dark circles under the eye, but our consumer testers felt that it failed to adequately firm and soften their skin. If you have chronic under-eye circles and are looking for a moisturizing cream to lighten them up a bit, Auriderm Illume Eye Crème is your best bet. biopelle.com.

Negligence, simply put, is the failure to exercise due care toward others. Negligence is the reason most car accidents happen – someone was not paying attention, someone was texting, someone was drunk. If you are the victim of a car accident, you are entitled to compensation.
At Stoudt Law, we specialize in car accident negligence cases. We help clients in Lake Elmo, Minnesota and the surrounding St Paul and Minneapolis Metro Area with injuries ranging from short term whiplash pain to severe, debilitating injuries such as traumatic brain injuries or permanent disabilities. While car accident cases are the most common variety of negligence cases, we handle all types of injury cases. Our specialties include:
- Distracted driving accidents
- Rear-endings
- Hit and runs
- Drunk driving accidents
- Black ice accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Semi-truck accidents
- Work vehicle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
We recognize that no personal injury case is the same. We provide customized representation to every client, from beginning to end. We will hold your hand through the entire process, making sure that your rights are protected. Chances are, you have benefits that you are not even aware of through your auto policy, and we will help you get them. We will do everything in our power to obtain the best settlement possible for you, including bringing the case before a jury.
We understand that any painful injury can be a major life disruption, if not a total game-changer. Your pain affects not just you, but those around you. Accidents can have a dramatic effect on people's family lives, careers and overall happiness.
We are compassionate, and throughout our representation, we listen to the details that will make your case as strong as it can be in the end. We aim to tell your story as thoroughly as possible when it comes time to settle your case, which is why we value communication and we will check in with you regularly throughout your case.
Not every case is suited for trial, nor is every client willing to go down that route. We are very sensitive to the comfort levels of our clients. What's most important to us is that you get the outcome you are happy with. We have the experience to know what best strategy to take with each case. We are knowledgeable in the law, and in the insurance companies' tactics. We know what works for best results. We custom tailor our legal strategy for each case, depending on its own particulars and complexities. We will tell you if we think your case can be settled outside of court, or if you should prepare yourself for the witness stand.
The difference between a satisfactory settlement, and a disappointing outcome, depends largely on the work that the attorney puts in. Lawsuits are won and lost at the preparation level. At Stoudt Law, you can rest assured that we will do everything possible to put you in the best position for a successful outcome. Through careful preparation, we equip ourselves to give the jury multiple reasons to side with you. We anticipate any potential opposing arguments, and we effectively diffuse them.
At Stoudt Law, no file sits on the shelf collecting dust. While several months may pass before the time comes to demand your settlement, there is much to do during that stretch. Our biggest concern is making sure that your own auto insurer covers all of your accident-related expenses to the extent they required by the law.
You should not have to incur out-of-pocket expenses related to your accident until your auto coverage has been exhausted. We are experts in no-fault coverage, and we will make sure you receive every penny of the benefits you have paid for with your auto coverage. We have handled hundreds of no-fault arbitrations, where we force our clients' insurance companies to provide proper coverage.
Call Stoudt Law today and let us help you. You can reach us at 651-204-1622. We are located at 3394 Lake Elmo Avenue Suite 1. Our firm represents clients in Lake Elmo, Stillwater, St. Paul, Woodbury, Maplewood, Minneapolis and surrounding communities in the Twin Cities.

At first glance, this chart (below) from Citi drinks and snacks analyst Wendy Nicholson seems to suggest that PepsiCo's decision to rebrand Gatorade as "G" was a complete disaster: It's lost nearly 10 points of market share since 2006, while Coca-Cola's rival brand, Powerade, has gained 10 points.
That's the kind of story that fuels investors' anger at PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi. Some of them want the company broken up so that executives can prioritize drinks or food, not both at the same time.
But in fact Gatorade (or "G," or "G Series Pro 03 Recover," or whatever we're calling it this week) has turned the corner and is gaining dollar sales despite being priced higher than competing drinks. Gatorade and G2 combined posted $1.3 billion in sales, up 4.1 percent, in 2011, according to Citi. That's the vast majority of the $1.8 billion "isotonics" category.
Coke's Powerade brand is only gaining share because it's being sold at a 19% discount to the category average. Powerade sold just $464 million, up 12.3 percent—it's coming off a smaller base.
Here's what Citi's Nicholson said about pricing the two drinks:
- "PEP's Gatorade and G2 were sold at a 7%-8% premium relative to category average. "
- "...a share gain for POWERade (up 1.3 pts, to 24.5%), for which products are priced at a 19% discount to the category average."
Loss of share is always a problem when you're reliant on your brand (this is the colored-water business, after all). But the fact that Pepsi is posting sale gains on a premium-priced product proves that its brand is strong.
Which means that I was wrong when I said last year that the G relaunch had failed.
Apologies, Gatorade management!

Preventative healthcare is one of the most important things you can do for your pet to keep them healthier for longer, but we know that budgeting for your pet can be difficult.
Our Healthcare Club has been set up to enable you to spread the cost of routine preventative healthcare, allowing us to provide you with the support you need to keep your pet fit and healthy year after year.
Definite savings can be made on our Healthcare Club, but the most important bit for us is that preventative healthcare will improve the wellbeing of your pet. Regular visits allow us to administer the appropriate vaccines, wormers and flea treatments at the correct time with minimal financial impact to you. In addition, a thorough clinical examination allows us to carefully assess the general health of your pet and offer advice, support and treatment planning, which in many cases can prevent problems arising in the future.
We have designed our Healthcare Club so that you can ensure your pets receive the very best quality preventative treatments, through a simple monthly direct debit. For a monthly subscription all future vaccinations, worming and flea control are taken care of with substantial savings. These low cost monthly payments help to avoid bigger bills when it comes to paying for routine vaccines and parasite treatments. The concept of spreading the annual cost of household bills is a regular and well recognised feature in our daily lives – why should the essential preventative treatments for your pet be any different?
Extra benefits of the club include discounts on many other products and services at the practice. Talk to one of our team on 01858 462 839 for more information and sign up by completing a simple form.
Extra benefits of the plan include discounts on selected products and services at the practice.

So this is a little thing I've been doing for a long time now, I've never enjoyed sitting through a track waiting for the verse(s) I came for so these are a bunch of verses from my favorites that I've edited down to just them alone. Keep in mind the Eminem ones are a bit sloppy as most of them are from 5+ years ago when I wasn't planning on sharing these with anybody, whereas most of the Tech ones for instance are seamless - as if the track was supposed to be that way. Also this isn't every feature verse, since there are some features I enjoy, but it's most of them.
If you have any requests for a song just post it, I can most likely make it happen.

Europe's Web Privacy Rules: Bad for Google, Bad for Everyone
In a concession to regulators, Google is . . . using "geo-blocking" technology to control what European users can see. Under the new system, Google will not only remove links on, say, google.fr, but it will block users in France from seeing those links on any other Google country site, or google.com itself. Unless they use tools like virtual private networks to disguise their locations, users in those countries will see pruned search results.

Congress's end run around a pillar of online free speech
"Daphne Keller of the Stanford Center for Internet and Society says that the new law could push some platforms and publishers to crack down on a wide variety of speech, to avoid the threat of lawsuits. It would give them "a reason to err on the side of removing internet users' speech in response to any controversy," she says, "and in response to false or mistaken allegations, which are often levied against online speech.""
Congress Can Crack Down On Tech Companies, But It Can't Do Much To Their Algorithms
""When platforms don't know what to do, the legally over-cautious response is to go way overboard on taking things down just in case they're illegal," Daphne Keller, Director of Intermediary Liability at Stanford University's Center for Internet and Society, told BuzzFeed News. "My worst case scenario legislation would be some vague obligation for platforms to make sure that users don't do bad things.""
The far right is losing its ability to speak freely online. Should the left defend it?
""Historically, the place you went to exercise your speech rights was the public square. Now the equivalent is Twitter and YouTube and Facebook," said Daphne Keller of the Stanford Center for Internet and Society. "In a practical matter, how much you can speak is not in the hands of the constitution but in the hands of these private companies.""

Deep Dive: Cybersecurity and the Broad Geopolitical Risk of Digital Life
June 26, 2018
Cybersecurity is increasingly a major concern of modern life, coloring everything from the way we vote to the way we drive to the way our health care records are stored. Yet online security is beset by threats from nation-states and terrorists and organized crime, and our favorite social media sites are drowning in conspiracy theories and disinformation. How do we reset the internet and reestablish control over our own information and digital society?

Rep. Murtha, first Vietnam vet elected to House, dead at 77
WASHINGTON — Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), the first Vietnam veteran elected to the House of Representatives and an outspoken critic of the Iraq war, died Monday of complications of gallbladder surgery, a spokesman for the lawmaker said.
He was 77. He died at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va., spokesman Matthew Mazonkey told the AP.
Murtha was an active duty Marine until 1955 and remained a reservist through the Vietnam War. When he was elected to the House in 1974, he was a still a reserve officer.
Although he voted in favor the the resolution that granted the Bush administration authority to use force in Iraq, by 2004, he questioned the war, later saying he no longer believed U.S. troops could do more there.
He saved his harshest comments for the Marines involved in the killing of 24 civilians at Haditha, Iraq. The Marines first said they were reacting to an attack; Murtha dismissed their accusations.
"There was no fire fight. There was no IED that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood. And that's what the report is going to tell," Murtha said in 2006.

Astrophysicist Denies She is UN's New 'Alien Ambassador'
Is the United Nations taking a break from earthly pursuits to appoint an "alien ambassador" who would be charged with greeting any extraterrestrial guests who might make their way to our planet?
While that would make for a good Monday morning story, the Malaysian astrophysicist at the center of the story denies that she will be adding alien liaison to her resume.
"It sounds really cool, but I have to deny it," Mazlan Othman said in an e-mail to The Guardian.
Reports about a UN alien ambassador got started when the Sunday Times reported that Othman was in the running to be the first point of contact for alien visitors. Othman was reportedly set to appear at a Royal Society conference to say that extraterrestrial contact was more likely than ever, and that Earth needed a plan to deal with their arrival.
Othman, however, told The Guardian that she will instead be talking about "near-Earth objects" at the conference rather than close encounters of the little green men kind.

Learn more about how our attorneys help to make a difference
They say charity begins at home; we believe that to be true. To us, home is more than the place where you eat your breakfast or lay your head at night – it is the community of people with whom you share your lives, interests and passions. Whether you're a die-hard Volunteers fan or an avid gardener, or an advocate for those who are not as fortunate, giving back helps strengthen the bonds you share with others, and improves the community as a whole.
At Gilbert McWherter Scott Bobbitt PLC, we believe that we all benefit when we come together. As individuals and as a firm, we support and sponsor programs and events which help our clients, our friends and our homes.

Moment of Love Monday: June 2010
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE-OuQX50zA&feature=channel&w=500&h=350] [An example for us on this Moment of Love Monday of what it looks like to offer love in the face of -- and in place of our own -- judgment, anger, or hatred.]
Hi there, friends.
Just as we recently began a monthly tradition called Repentance Thursday, we also began a monthly tradition called Moment of Love Monday.
It happens every month on the Monday following Repentance Thursday.
Which means it happens today.
You can read the background on this monthly exercise here.
At its core, Moment of Love Monday is an opportunity to share how we practiced love -- particularly in a difficult situation -- in the previous month.
This exercise is rooted in our belief that love is more powerful than violence and has the power to transform it.
It is also rooted in our commitment to offer love in response to any degree of violence or hatred in our lives.
This will not always be easy, and we will not always have stories to share.
But it is a chance to learn from each other.
To get creative.
To see what is truly possible.
And to be putting into practice these things we say we believe.
To start us off this month, I've shared a video at the top of this post that I discovered on Donald Miller's blog several weeks ago.
It's the story of someone who encountered hate and offered love.
I find it truly inspiring.
It embodies, for me, what the nonviolent ethic is really like.
I'd like to live this way more often.
So, as you look back over this past month, consider the following:
- How did you choose to practice love in a difficult moment?
- How did the injection of love into that moment affect the circumstances?
- How did the choice of love in that moment affect you in the aftermath?
I look forward to hearing your stories. You are such an inspiring tribe. I'm so privileged to be on this journey with you.

I'm standing at the top of Bishop's Peak, eating a mango like an apple. My backpack is painted in dust with a suggestion pasted to it suggesting correctly that (for me) 'death can wait'. I am crusted in dirt and a sunscreen resemblent of a thick, white paste not unlike like Elmer's Glue. I'm basically in my underwear, drinking a tepid combination of water and sugar free monster from a canteen covered with stickers bearing slogans about feminist topics and one or two from the Airfield Supply Company, Twitter, and various breweries. I look like freckled, happy Delores Park Trash. The beautiful blonde Cal Poly kids that started the same time as me, just reached the summit and look like death, with their collapsed and sunburned little shoulders.
I feel great. I could keep going, like a small, disheveled mountain sprite .
I made it down.
On the descent, the rocks were too hot to touch and the dirt radiated heat back up at me, like an asshole. An asshole complicit with the sun.
I need food.
Bishop's Peak, you're a beautiful thing.

Q1: How do I enable ADS-B?
A1: Connecting ADS-B is quite easy. You only have to provide GPS data (NMEA) to your Mode S transponder. This is possible by making a simple connection between the transponder and, for example a flight computer or a separate GPS receiver.
How the connection to the Mode-S transponder exactly works, depends on the brand and type of the transponder. If you want to learn more, have a look at the explanation on this website.
Q2: Am I allowed to apply a cable between my transponder and GPS source in my glider?
A2: No. Only a glider technician C (ZVT-C) is allowed to execute this. (according to Dutch regulation)
Q3: Do I need an EASA Minor Change application to my glider to equip ADS-B?
A3: No. If it's documented in the manual of the transponder, how to connect GPS signal to the transponder, an EASA Minor Change is not necessary and this falls under standard part 1.
Q4: Does the GPS source has to be certified?
A4: No, in Europe the GPS source doesn't need to be certified for a class II Mode-S transponder. The used GPS source may be a standard GPS receiver, which is not ETSO-certified. This is currently only permitted in areas where ADS-B out is not mandatory.
It should also be kept in mind that the "System Integrity Level" of the transponder is set to the lowest level. With a number of transponder types (Garrecht), this is already fixed at the lowest (the right) level.
Q5: Does this system also works abroad? (outside the Netherlands)
A5: Currently in the Netherlands, the use of Mode-S transponders in gliders in mandatory. In most other countries there is no Mode-S transponder requirement for gliders, and the national regulations varies regarding the use of the Mode-S transponder.
Q6: Can I use GliderTracking for tactical purposes during competitions?
A6: For live glider tracking during competitions, the competition director may set a delay, as described in the rules of the FAI (ref. Annex A, 4.1.2 b.)
Q7: Will ADS-B be mandatory during gliding competitions?
A7: No, the GliderTracking application is meant as extra support, specially for spectators on the ground to show where the pilots are. Our intention is to follow as many participants as possible, with ADS-B technology. Therefore it is important that the coverage of ADS-B is as large as possible.

Every year in August Detroit enjoys a popular Classic Car Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise. Car buffs from all over the country meet on Woodward Avenue in Detroit and show off their rides and relive their hot rod pasts. This year GM shared a tribute to this popular event with the people of Detroit by posting vintage billboards throughout the Detroit area proclaiming the staying power of two leaders in the auto industry – GM and Detroit. These clever images and sayings are a respectful and nostalgic nod to both style and strength – characteristics Michigan is proud to be known to deliver.
This message is most influential in billboard design of course, right in the heart of the land that built them ,in front of the eyes who drive them. The creative agency who developed this billboard campaign knows their market and the GM brand. Michigan and GM does not believe a car is just a commodity – a car is a statement of who you are, your lifestyle, your personality, it's designed for comfort and cruising – it was then and it is to this day.
If you are in the Detroit area, enjoy the 2012 Woodward Dream Cruise and smile when you see these Michigan billboard designs, take pride knowing why we earned the title, Automobile Capital of the World.


text: Dough was from pg.22, sauce was New York-New Jersey on pg.28, finished with garlic oil from pg.29, cheese was fresh mozzarella (grated, easier said than done) I made 3 pizzas. The first two in 500 degree oven using pizza stones placed at specified oven locations. I used top stone first then moved to bottom stone. Allowed about 10 min recovery time before loading another pizza. For fun I did my third pizza with the broiler. Once the oven recovered I turned off the oven and broiler to high. Gave it about 5 min then loaded the pizza on top stone. Did some quick clean-up then checked the pizza and it was starting to burn. Moved it to the lower stone to brown the bottom. Even with the burnt parts it still tasted great.
