"The legend. The battle. The first hero."
With a high budget of 75 million dollars and opening at over 3, 000 theatres, "10,000 B.C." is expected to become a box office hit. The movie has been advertised almost relentlessly. The theatrical trailers were quite effective in building the suspense. In the previews, the audience saw the amazing CGI effects of the saber-toothed tiger and the mammoths. The action also looked promising when the hero and his followers attacked the enemy. For those who swoon at love stories, the previews also hinted at an onscreen romance. While the movie does contain all of these ingredients, the end product is not a gourmet feast, but rather a bland, over-priced lunch buffet.
After her tribe is massacred, a young, blue-eyed Evolet is taken into a village. The holy mother of the tribe looks into Evolet's mind and sees a vision. During the last hunt, "four-legged demons" will come into the village and steal the people away. A hunter will emerge from the village and become the man who will bring his tribe back together again. Evolet will be the "hero's woman." After this, Evolet feels like an outsider since she is part of a prophecy yet to be fulfilled.
After his father leaves the tribe for unknown reasons, D'Leh feels like an outsider, too. Sharing this in common, D'Leh and Evolet fall into a forbidden love. Several years pass and the final hunt of the mammoths finally arrives. Killing the mammoth himself, D'Leh is given the White Spear and also Evolet's hand in marriage. Feeling he did not truly kill the mammoth in bravery, D'Leh returns the White Spear and loses his chance to marry Evolet. Not long after, the prophecy of the "four-legged demons" becomes fulfilled. Men on horses raid the village, killing many and kidnapping several. One of the captors notices Evolet's beauty and takes her for himself. After the raid, D'Leh is determined to free his love and his people. He and a few remaining warriors band together and begin to follow the bandits. Along the way, D'Leh encounters attacks and meets new tribal people who band together to free all who have been enslaved.
The plot of this movie offers absolutely nothing new. I saw it had plot lines that borrowed heavily from other epic movies and from the Holy Bible. The acting is a bit wooden at times, and the dialogue is completely flat and even a bit corny. Their accents would range from sounding Russian to speaking in plain English. During the holy mother's vision, the audience can clearly see what the "four-legged demons" are. I found myself waiting in boredom for this vision to come to pass. Touching moments were rare in the movie. It's difficult for the audience to connect with the characters. When one of them would die, the background music would rise, hoping to fuel the moment. There are a lot of "What were you thinking?" moments throughout the film. D'Leh frees a saber-tooth tiger and tells him "When I release you, do not eat me." Another example is when the captives are taken away in riverboats. Instead of following the river, D'Leh and his men venture out in the middle of the desert where many die off. I am guessing the enormous budget went to developing the CGI effects. At times, the tribe's land looked like it was a museum exhibit; there were also times it appeared the characters were walking in front of a television screen.
Since the film takes place in a pre-historic era, I did not hear any foul language or any misuse of the Lord's name. The romance between D'Leh and Evolet is clean. They never sleep together and their love appears to be without lust. I found this refreshing and biblically approved. There wasn't any sex in the film as well. When Evolet is captured, one of the criminals takes special notice of her. At one point, he buys her from her owner. His intention is implied, however, it is never carried out. He only touches her face with his hands.
The violence in the film is almost a constant. I do not recommend parents taking younger children to see this film. It gets loud at times and slightly bloody. Several people get stabbed and the camera would often show the bloody, exiting wounds. One man gets "sacrificed." It shows him getting thrown off a roof. Several of the slaves also get whipped. There is also one kind of creature that would jump and eat the humans. There is never any blood shown, but one can see the animals over the humans. The fighting scenes are not overly gory; however, parents should still take caution.
There is absolutely no mention of the Lord in the film or His Holy Word. The tribes have their own gods to which they pray. D'leh and Evolet's tribe has their own holy mother who does chants and prays to the gods for prosperity. The false gods of this movie are portrayed to be true and to answer prayers. The mother saw visions throughout the movie of D'Leh and Evolet's journey. At one point, she was able to send strength to one of the ailing characters. Believers of Christ might find the portrayal of the false religion offensive.
I found that the movie borrowed heavily from the Holy Bible. D'Leh was seen as a "messiah" for his people. The prophecy said that he would save his people and set them free. Throughout his journey, D'Leh fulfilled different prophecies, making the holy mother's vision come true. Other tribes had their own prophecies about D'Leh, which made them believe and follow him. This reminds me of how Jesus Christ fulfilled several prophecies from the Old Testament. Many of these prophecies were written hundreds of years before Jesus was born. The prophecies Jesus fulfilled were so detailed that only the true Messiah could have fulfilled them. Throughout history, many people have arisen to declare themselves saviors of their people. These false leaders are now just dusty bones. However, the one true Savior, Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead and now gloriously sits with the Father in Heaven until His return.
If you do not look too deeply into the plot or mind CGI creatures attacking humans, you might actually enjoy the film. I just ask that you do not expect this to be an epic film or another "Braveheart." This film received several negative reviews. If you're strapped for cash, like I am as a college student, then I recommend you wait for the movie to come out on DVD.

- It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I must tell you my little buddy, Thunder,
is gone. On August 24, 2009 as I held him in my arms he closed his eyes for the last time. Thunder is no
longer in pain and he is no longer sick. He is now at peace.
This will be the final update to Thunder's web site. It has taken me a long time to get to this final update
and I apologize to those waiting for it. It has just been too painful to work on the site. Thunder meant the
world to me and every time I have tried to update his site over the last year and a half it struck me that
he was gone and that I was doing the last update of his site; ever. I just couldn't go through with it. It has
been hard doing this last update but it was time I got it done.
Thunder was an amazing and special dog. He was the happiest
dog I have ever known. Nothing could dampen his spirit nor his
desire. He never met a person he didn't want to say hello to, he
never discovered some new smell or thing that he just didn't have
to sniff out and investigate, and there was no adventure too big
nor too small for him. H e was always ready to go anywhere and
do anything with me.
Unfortunately, old age and illness finally became too much for my pal to overcome. I had to make that
dreadful decision no pet owner ever wants to make. Thunder was in pain and he just wasn't himself. His
love of life and the desire to go live it was gone. The greatest act of love I could show him was to put
aside my broken heart and allow him to leave all the pain and sickness behind. I was blessed to be with
him on the day he entered this world and I was blessed to be holding him when he left it.
Thunder was able to hunt right up until the end however and he
was with me on the final day of the 2008/2009 waterfowl season on
February 14th. He was only a spectator that day but he was there!
Thunder lived to hunt and retrieve. I am so thankful that he was
able to go and do what he loved so dearly right up until the end
despite health issues and injuries. He was a real trooper.
On the morning of the 24th, before going to the Vet, I took Thunder
for one last visit to his favorite saltmarsh where he made a couple
retrieves in the shallow water with my help. He was also able to walk around and investigate just like the
old days although he was in a lot of pain. That place has a lot of special meaning to us and I really think
it was his favorite place to go. Thunder left us with saltwater and marsh muck in his coat which I know
is how he would have wanted it. Thunder's last morning would be nothing special to the average person
but it was exactly what he loved to do and thus was a fitting way to spend his final moments.
Life is just not the same without him. He was a family member
and he truly was my best friend. While there will be other dogs
in my future there will never be another, in my heart, that could
ever take the place of my little Thunder. I hope and pray that
when my time comes to leave that I am judged worthy so I may
once again wrap my arms around his neck and bury my face in
his fur as he wags his tail and licks my cheek.
I want to thank everyone who has visited Thunder's site over the
years as well as those who took the time to write me about Thunder. It is hard to believe I started his
web site way back in 1998 when he was just 2 years old. Where does the time go? Thank you again for
visiting Thunder's site and may God bless you and your 4 legged friends.

My creative and resourceful Farmer made Rubber Band Riffles for 3 nephews. He used salvaged boards and spray painted them bright colors. They looked great!! (This is a picture of the guns he made for our little Farmer Boys. They have seen a lot of use!)
|Rubber Band Riffles
While my Farmer was working in the barn on Christmas. I was digging through scraps to make my niece a little rag doll. I took some inspiration from the Toy Ads. I found a plastic doll made to look like a rag doll. Why not make a soft cuddly doll instead? I had so much fun sitting at the kitchen table sewing this little Dollie.

Even by the standards of today, when many people still use checks or non PIN-coded credit cards, using a person's signature for security seems almost unbelievably weak. It's easy enough to forge someone's signature; if pressed, I don't know that I could reproduce my own John Hancock with a particularly high level of fidelity. Similarly, I think we will one-day look back at the physical bill with similar incredulity. "You mean, money used to just be paper?" Yes, kids, we really did used to give people things just for having the right pattern on a rectangle. "But why didn't you just print off a bunch yourself and buy things then," the young ones will ask. Based on new anti-counterfeiting research, your answer may end up being, "Beetles."
Anti-counterfeiting is one of those great technological arms races where the profit incentive provided by free money has driven innovation among both criminals and cops, and many great technological achievements have resulted. From special cotton-based papers to holographic stickers to my own native Canada's decision to make its two-dollar coin in multiple pieces, we've taken a lot of steps to make it harder to print money.
Now, a crystal coat inspired by the wings of a color-changing beetle could take the process a step further by making bills that change color in your breath. If a cashier is suspicious of a bill, all they need do is blow on it; a real bill will quickly change color, powering the security feature with nothing more than the humidity in a person's breath.
So-called "photonics crystals" are crystals that can affect the passage of light, and the beetle has evolved a reaction that changes its light-bending qualities in response to moisture. Inspired by the beetle-wing, researchers created mesoporous silica nanoparticles with the same basic function: when they take on water, the particles change their refractive index. The effect can be controlled to the point that they can force specific colors to change into other specific colors in the presence of a pre-determined amount of moisture, so they could even hypothetically tailor bills with drawings that only become visible when breathed on.
Photonics crystals will be difficult to engineer in the required patterns, and thus short of hijacking a shipment of government ink it should be next to impossible to create bogus bills — it might be possible, but the time and expense involved in large scale counterfeiting would wash out a big portion of the profits. It's important that every cashier has an inborn ability to test for these beetle messages, because adding a blacklight to your average cash machine certainly hasn't solved the problem. Solutions that require the mint to do work could be effective; those that require active participation from the money-spending public probably won't be.
Since it comes from evolution, the crystals have a certain rough-and-tumble appeal that makes them easy to imagine moving into the real world. Even after several times bending and abrading the paper, the crystals maintained their color changing function; they're resistant to water and heat, and in general have at least a chance of surviving a bill's many-year journey through thousands upon thousands of wallets, pockets, and purses.
Perhaps best of all, the reversibly water-logged paint can be applied with a simple inkjet spray-on system, meaning it can be prepared quite quickly and efficiently; while there's still no word on the actual price of this photonics ink, per milliliter, one of the researchers' main claims is that their technique will be far more affordable than prior solutions.

- The Cajun Country Revival
Spanning generations from across the nation the Cajun Country Revival is a veritable supergroup of American roots musicians. Comprised of Cajun musicians Jesse Lege and Joel Savoy and Portland Oregon's Foghorn Stringband, this group presents a music that seems to embody all of the things that make life wonderful and together they've delighted audiences around the world celebrating rather than "performing" the music that brought them together: Cajun music and early Country music.
Son of Cajun music royalty Marc and Annand the founder of the Louisiana-based label Valcour Records, Joel Savoy is a GRAMMY winner for his production work with The Band Courtbouillon and a nine-time GRAMMY nominee, as well as a two-time winner of the Cajun French Music Association's Fiddler of the Year Award. Having grown up literally at the feet of the Cajun great he represents his culture with an authority that few people his age can and his playing leaves no doubt that Cajun music is still very much alive. He has worked and played with the best of the best in south Louisiana as well as folks like John Fogerty, Linda Ronstadt, Steve Earle, and T-Bone Burnett.

Sharing the stage with Joel for the last 15 years is the legendary Cajun powerhouse, Jesse Lege. Growing up in a rural pre-electricity home in Gueydan, LA, Jesse spoke Cajun French an learned music from relatives, neighbors, and the family's much-loved battery-powered radio. Today he is one of the most admired Cajun accordionists and vocalists in the world, known especially for his high, clear, "crying" vocals.
Jesse has been playing traditional Cajun music and singing Cajun French songs for over 35 years performing with a variety of well-known musicians in various Louisiana and southeast Texas dancehalls. He is a winner of numerous CFMA awards: Traditional Band of the Year, Accordion Player of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, Band of the Year, and Song of the Year. In 1998 he was inducted into the Cajun Music Hall of Fame. Completing the revival is Portland Oregon's Foghorn Stringband, made up of Caleb Klauder (WA) and Stephen "Sammy" Lind (MN) and Reeb Willms (WA) andNadine Landry (Quebec) www.jesseandjoel.com
- Foghorn Stringband
Credited for igniting the Old Time Renaissance in Northwest, Foghorn Stringband continues to stand out as the shining gold standard for American Stringband music. With their 8th album, Devil in the Seat in hand, thousands of shows and over a decade of touring under their belts, it's no surprise that this band, as proclaimed by Stuart Mason, The Fiddle Freak, "has blossomed into a full-blown force of nature that threatens world domination". Through all of this, they've never let the music grow cold; instead Foghorn has been steadily proving that American Roots music is a never-ending well of inspiration.
Today Foghorn Stringband features the intertwining harmonies of founding members, Stephen "Sammy" Lind, Caleb Klauder along with powerhouse vocalists, Reeb Willms and Nadine Landry, all of whom bring a wealth of songs, instruments and traditions making them a festival favorite from coast to coast and around the globe.

Yes, Cube has seemingly one-upped itself, introducing a new PMP called the H100HD that, like its predecessor, sports a 5-inch LCD and support for a variety of video and audio formats, but adds in an FM tuner, support for simple Flash games, and another step up the HD resolution ladder, all in a package that's a bit more svelte than before. And yes, it still does 720p output for those progressive types.

I've been using several dozens of cloud applications on a daily basis. In picksaas, for the past year, We Have Tested Over 150 Cloud Applications just to know, which ones to recommend to our users. Knowing there are thousands of different products out there, it's been quite a challenge to identify the ones which are outstandingly good at what they're doing.
It's not difficult to see that the best-in-class cloud products are great for managing one simple process and connect easily with other SaaS apps. These products are just great and thanks to apps like Pipedrive, Stencil or Monday, together with our users, we have been able to significantly boost sales, create beautiful graphics having no knowledge about professional design and manage projects in a way more effective way.
Get the most out of your cloud tools
Individually, these apps are great facilitators of daily work and there is probably no better way to be more effective, save time and sell more. But the true potential of cloud applications is visible only when you start connecting them all together, automating the flow of data between numerous different tools.
Then, you start seeing how much time you've been wasting on tedious, manual tasks which can easily be automated using just a few cloud applications, connected together using Zapier or a native app's integration. Just to show you an example, we've experienced here in picksaas, we've been using Typeform to collect the submissions from SaaS vendors to feature their product at picksaas. After we receive a submission it takes quite some time to analyze the app and decide if it meets quality criteria to be featured on our platform. But the number of submissions started to grow pretty quickly so we had to structure it by using Trello to handle the requests and manage the testing process within our team. Copying and pasting the Typeform submissions into Trello became a tedious and unwanted task.
But why the hell are we wasting time on this?! Fortunately, thanks to using Zapier, we were able to automate the process and right now, all of our Typeform applications are automatically turned into Trello cards in our "SaaS list" board. No more time spent on manual copying and pasting and that's only one of the hundreds of ways of connecting SaaS apps to make your life easier than ever.
Structuring the sales process
There are two ways of reaching out to your potential customers. The best scenario is an effective, content-focused inbound strategy, where your customers find you, right at the moment when they need your product or service. But seeing the effects of an inbound strategy takes time and quite a lot of resources. If you don't want to wait or want to take action in the meantime, while your content strategy becomes more and more effective, you can also turn towards outbound sales.
To make outbound sales happen, you basically need 3 things:
- Prospects/leads — a list of customers, potentially interested in your product or service, together with their contact details
- Way and process of reaching out to them-this might be a planned call script or email campaign.
- A plan to close a deal as soon as you identify the customer need.
Collecting the components of an outreach system
Leads' database
Managing the database of prospects is a challenge. And while you can do it using a complicated external software, most often you will end up storing all the data in your excel file. So why to complicate it? With Google Spreadsheet, you should be able to handle the list of your prospects very effectively, adding as many information as you want and filtering the list depending on your preferred criteria. With Google Spreadsheet, you also get a huge advantage, which is connecting your database to other cloud applications. This gives you an endless opportunity to use gathered data in many different processes, including sales.
Calling vs. mailing
Interacting with your prospect is a crucial point in the sales process. The way you approach your customer for the first time has a huge impact on how he will perceive your company in further communication, even if he doesn't decide to purchase your product. This is why personalization should be a priority.
"You need to personalize each email and voicemail to each prospect's context and build on the overall message each time." Mike Roberge, Sales Acceleration Formula
And while the preferable way would be to phone call and email your customers one by one making the communication 100% personal, it's not always the most effective scenario. What if you already have a database of hundreds of companies operating in the same industry with the direct contact with the executive who might be in need of your product or service? Maybe a good idea would be to email all of them, still maintaining personal touch?
This can be achieved, using a Cold Mailing App, like Woodpecker, which lets you send large batches of individual emails, schedule automated follow-ups and monitor the responses of your interested prospects, who might then be turned into your customers. Create email template, mark the fields which will then be replaced with the personalized information, select the prospects who will be the recipients of your campaign and your mailing is ready to go.
If you don't know how to write an effective outreach email, it might be worth to take a look at a Comprehensive Guide To Cold Email.
"It's way more effective to send emails to small batches of companies, to keep the communication as personal as possible." Cathy Patalas, CMO at Woodpecker
Managing sales to interested prospects
Still, sending hundreds of emails makes it quite probable, that dozens of them will reply asking for more details or your offer. So how to run further communication and contact after your email campaign?
This is where CRM System becomes a must. With Pipedrive or Salesflare, you will handle further communication using a simple pipeline of deals, planning the activities to be performed by each client. But the best thing about a CRM is that it integrates with your mailbox and calendar, letting you send emails directly from the app and adding any activities of your choice automatically to your calendar.
Automating the flow of data between your apps
So having all of these put in place, how to make them all work together? After all, you don't want to waste time on copying the data manually from Google Spreadsheet to Woodpecker and then to your Pipedrive CRM. They should act as one, integrated system.
Fortunately, this is quite an easy thing. With Zapier, you can set up an automation, adding any new row in Google Spreadsheet into Woodpecker's prospects' list. Similarly, a contact who replied to your campaign can automatically be uploaded to Pipedrive, creating a new deal in your sales pipeline. With Pipedrive's native integrations, you don't have to worry about syncing your activities with your calendar. This is done automatically, through a native connection with Gmail and Google Calendar account.
Connecting these and setting up the technology to support your sales gives a huge comfort in focusing on the most important tasks which are communicating with your customers and actually selling your product, rather than worrying about taking notes or remembering about contacting particular companies.
Setting up a sales environment is not the most difficult thing to do but it definitely requires some knowledge and especially, a mode of communication to the sales team, showing them, how to take advantage from what these tools can offer. Still, it's definitely worth to spend some time or resources to put such a structured system in place as from my experience it often has a significant positive long-term effect on companies' efficiency, time management and quantity and quality of sales pipeline.

OTTAWA — Colby Armstrong's speedy scoring gave Ondrej Pavelec and the Atlanta Thrashers some crucial breathing space.
Armstrong scored a pair of goals 31 seconds apart in the third period and Atlanta ended a three-game losing streak with a 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night.
With the Thrashers holding a one-goal advantage following Slava Kozlov's 14th goal midway through the first, Armstrong scored on a power play 2:10 into the third before beating Martin Gerber again at 2:41 to increase Atlanta's lead to 3-0.
Thrashers coach John Anderson gave Armstrong an opportunity to extend his productive shift.
"The funny thing was he scored two and I made him go back out," Anderson said. "He didn't spend a lot of time on it, maybe 35 seconds, and he's looking down at his skate and I said, 'Just get back out there.' He comes off about 20 seconds later — his skate's broken, so I made him go out there with a broken skate, unfortunately, but I just wanted him to maybe have a chance to score a hat trick in one shift."
Pavelec stopped 28 shots, losing a bid for his first career shutout on Chris Kelly's goal with 1:18 remaining.
"Anytime it's coming down to the wire, you want to do it for the guy," Armstrong said. "He played great for us and it was a little bit of a screen shot, a good play by them, but too bad we couldn't preserve that shutout for him. The big thing is we got the two points, and I'm sure he'd agree with that, but it's too bad we couldn't get that cherry on top."
The 21-year-old Pavelec was pulled in the first period of Friday's 7-3 loss to Boston after allowing three goals on four shots.
Todd White scored into an empty net for the Thrashers, who ended a 0-2-1 skid and won for just the third time in 14 games (3-9-2).
"That's our best one so far — on the road," coach John Anderson said. "We've had a couple of better ones at home, but certainly on the road — it was a textbook road game."
Gerber stopped 21 shots in his third start in four games. He had allowed one goal in his previous two outings, including a 24-save performance for his 10th career shutout in Ottawa's 2-0 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
The Senators have been held to four goals overall in their last four games. Ottawa's top line of Daniel Alfredsson, Dany Heatley and Jason Spezza has combined to produce just one point between them — Alfredsson's eighth goal of the season on Saturday — during the same stretch.
"We have the skill and character in the room but we're just not getting the most out of everybody right now," Alfredsson said.
Kozlov gave Atlanta a 1-0 lead on a power play midway through the first. A video review confirmed that the veteran left wing's deflection of Ron Hainsey's shot past Gerber 10:50 in did not come with the puck above the height of the crossbar.
Armstrong put Atlanta up 2-0 with his fifth goal 2:10 into the third period. He added his sixth of the season 31 seconds later to make it a three-goal lead, a franchise record for the fastest two goals by one player in a road game.
<B>Notes:<P> Bill Mosienko holds the record for the fastest hat trick in NHL history. The Hall of Fame center scored three goals 21 seconds apart on the same shift in Chicago's 7-6 win at New York on March 23, 1952. ... Chosen 41st overall by Atlanta in the second round of the 2005 entry draft, Pavelec is 6-8-0 in 17 appearances with the Thrashers overall, including a 3-5-0 mark in 10 games this season. ... Jon Sim holds the Thrashers' record for fastest two goals. Sim scored 22 seconds apart against Carolina on Oct. 13, 2006. ... Armstrong broke a team record previously held by Ilya Kovalchuk for the fastest pair of goals by one player in a road game. Kovalchuk scored two goals 58 seconds apart in Boston on Dec. 5, 2002.

Joint publication with the Center for Orang Asli Concerns, Malaysia.
This book provides an illustration of the impact of capitalism and modernity on an indigenous people, the Semai of Malaysia. It is based on doctoral research conducted in the early eighties which documents in considerable ethnographic detail the extent of involvement of the Semai in commodity production and wage labour and the effects of these economic pursuits referred by the people as looking-for-money work on their social and cultural lives. In the process, the study challenges the prevailing view of the Semai as subsistence-oriented people with weak links to the market economy and stresses the fact that development for the people must be based on correct conceptions of the economy of the people for it to succeed in improving the living standards of the beneficiaries. While the study was conducted about twenty years ago, the findings, analyses and issues presented are still relevant today and an introduction and a postscript to the original thesis provide an update to the theoretical and empirical aspects of the study.

Administration Faces Criticism for Mirandizing Times Square Suspect
The Obama administration is once again facing criticism for deciding to Mirandize a terror suspect within hours after his arrest, with some officials saying investigators questioning the Times Square bombing suspect didn't need to read him his rights until they got more information.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and other Republicans say Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized U.S. citizen, should have been treated as an enemy combatant out of the gate. Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn, said as far as he's concerned, Shahzad lost his entitlement to Miranda Rights when he was arrested on terrorism charges.
Shahzad was not immediately Mirandized after authorities yanked him off a Dubai-bound flight from New York Monday night. John Pistole, deputy FBI director, said Tuesday that agents interviewed him under the "public safety exception" to determine whether there was an imminent threat.
He was later read his rights and waived them, according to the White House. Officials have described the suspect as cooperative and talkative ever since.
"He was ... cooperative and provided valuable intelligence and evidence. He was eventually transported to another location, mirandized and continued talking," Pistole said.
But others question whether Shahzad would have been more cooperative if he hadn't been told he could keep quiet and seek legal counsel. Former U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey said that despite claims that Shahzad "kept spilling the beans, the question is how many beans he spilled."
"My own feeling about this is that any time we arrest somebody we suspect to be a terrorist the first thing that ought to happen is they ought to be interviewed without Miranda Rights being given to them," Lieberman said.
Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., told Fox News that the issue is "one of many things we should be debating."
Shahzad was charged Tuesday with an act of terrorism and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction in the May 1 bomb plot. Attorney General Eric Holder said he confessed to trying to set off the car bomb in Times Square.
The administration faced similar criticism after officials mirandized Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab shortly after he allegedly tried to blow up a plane bound for Detroit on Christmas Day. But Abdulmutallab was from Nigeria. Shahzad, originally from Pakistan, gained citizenship more than a year ago.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Tuesday that Shahzad's citizenship should settle the issue.
"This is a U.S. citizen arrested on U.S. soil. He is suspected of committing a crime," Hoyer said. "I think it's pretty-well settled law."
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg told reporters on Wednesday that "our democracy is strong enough" for someone like Shahzad to be read his rights.
Going forward, Lieberman said he wants to introduce legislation that would strip U.S. citizenship -- and its inherent rights -- from anyone found to be fighting with a foreign terror group.
While lawmakers can do nothing about Shahzad now that he has been read his rights, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Wednesday suggested that if Shahzad is being tried as a U.S. citizen in a civilian court, federal prosecutors should consider charging him with treason -- a crime that carries the death penalty.
"When it comes to an American citizen, they have a responsibility under the Constitution not to betray their country," Graham said. "There's a place for federal court and the charge of treason should always be on the table. No one got killed in this instance, thank God, but if it is proven that this man committed an act of treason against his fellow citizens, I want to keep that charge available to our government."
As a U.S. citizen, Shahzad could still face a military commission if he is found to be linked to Al Qaeda.

Now that we're past the Labor Day hurdle, the next Republican debate is coming up in just eight short days on September 16, 2015. The debate will be aired on CNN and hosted by the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California. Jake Tapper is set to moderate with questions also coming from conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt and CNN's Dana Bash.
Here is the schedule for September 16 on CNN:
6pm ET (5pm CT, 3pm PT)
First Round debate (1hr 45 min)
Candidates: Perry, Santorum, Jindal, Pataki, Graham (finalized Sept. 10)
8pm ET (7pm CT, 5pm PT)
Primetime debate (3 hours)
Candidates: Trump, Bush, Walker, Huckabee, Carson, Cruz, Rubio, Paul, Christie, Kasich, Fiorina
Moderator: Jake Tapper, with questions from Hugh Hewitt and Dana Bash
Live Stream: CNN.com
Report from the Sacramento Bee:
Hosting 16 presidential hopefuls for a nationally televised debate takes time, construction and, yes, an element of theater.
Just ask John Heubusch, executive director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, which sustains the library that celebrates the late president's legacy. As the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley prepares to host its fourth presidential debate on Sept. 16, the second on Republicans' road to finding their 2016 nominee, perhaps no challenge is greater than constructing the debate stage.
"It's a three-month job that takes place in 10 days," Heubusch said. CNN, which will air the debate, picks up most of the cost associated with staging, he said.
This time around, the work includes installing scaffolding for a debate stage on the third floor of the Air Force One Pavilion, which houses the 40th president's plane. The plane will serve as backdrop.
In devising the stage, the aim is to make the debate atmosphere "colorful, interesting and, where possible, unique," Heubusch said. "A lot of debate is theater."
Much like the first debate, the Sept. 16 event will include two groups. The top 10 candidates, according to public polling, will face off in prime time. The remaining six candidates, who must meet the minimum threshold of 1 percent in the polls, will begin in the late afternoon.
We will get a final confirmation of which candidates will make the primetime broadcast but the list above are probably 99% accurate to what the final rosters will be. The notable movement is Carly Fiorina from the early debate into the primetime debate after CNN amended their rules to also include candidates who poll in the top ten of polls taken after the first Republican debate on August 6.

Hello everyone! My name is Annette and I am thrilled to be back in Yale-NUS as a team member at CIPE and as a former student. I am extremely grateful to the experiential learning opportunities made available to me during my first year in college, for they helped me realise my love for anthropology. These include my week 7; "varieties of religious experiences in Singapore", an amazing urban studies elective that I chose after being inspired by CSI called "Divided Cities", and a CIPE summer abroad studying anthropology in Bombay.
These separate but interwoven experiences inculcated a deep belief in the need to engage with diverse communities and better understand different perspectives. In my junior year I joined the Pitt in the Himalayas study abroad program thanks to the support of CIPE, and as I was "pushed out of my comfort zones", I felt those spheres expand and grow too.
I look forward to continue playing a role in the shared project of our learning community – but this time – from a different perspective!

After a long running series, such as the DCI Anna Travis series, authors look to something different to liven things up. This time Lynda La Plante has added a new dimension, an FBI officer working with the Met Homicide Command and Met officers working and training with the FBI. Does it work?
Senior FBI Agent Jessie Dewar is seconded to DCI Anna Travis's team investigating a cold case of a suicide that may be a murder. Jessie is brash and insensitive with little field experience and ends up ruffling a few feathers in the team. Strangely Anna doesn't keep her under control, probably because Jessie seems to be a bit of a protege of Anna's mentor DCS Langton and Anna doesn't want to spoil her chances of going to the FBI Academy in Virginia for special training.
As the case develops Anna becomes more convinced that it is a murder. While she would like to see the case through she reluctantly goes off to the prized FBI course. There she finds herself working on a cold case in Washington with the FBI but at the same time gets access to some vital evidence about her own case.
The book was easy reading and the finale was a bit page turning. Did the FBI element work? Partially because it pads out and adds a couple of dimensions to what would otherwise be a pretty ordinary police procedural. On the other hand the whole thing is a bit unbelievable with Jessie and Anna taking key roles in each other's organisations.

Phew – Charity Challenges Completed!
September has been a month of charity challenges for the Landform team. They got dirty and sweaty for a good cause. Between them Mark, Catherine, Kate and Rhiannon have raised £4,949 for the charity Perennial. If you read our previous blog, you will know that the Office Girls went Nuts, but more of that later.
First let's talk about Mark's amazing challenge. Having already completed the Three Peaks Challenge in 2013 for the charity Perennial, Mark, who is a Perennial Partner Ambassador, was prepared to step up a gear (if you pardon the pun) for the next challenge.
If you read in our last blog, Mark teamed up with Louise in the Three Peakers Ride Again challenge, which saw 20 horticultural fellows cycle from Mount Snowdon to Lands End. The Peakers split into two groups, one group cycling off road, by tracks and trails, and the other group travelling by road. Cycling a total of 500 miles over 5 days, to put it into perspective – the group were covering an equivalent distance of the height of Mount Everest.
Mark admits he naively wanted to undertake the challenge on a 30 year old tandem he borrowed, with partner Louise, to complete their journey.

Trophy Elk Hunting in New Mexico is said by many to be the best in the Rocky Mountains. The trophy quality of the bulls in our hunting areas specifically is difficult to surpass. You will be hunting at elevations between 6,000 and 11,000 feet above sea level. Although the terrain is moderate, you should be in good condition for all of our elk hunts. The more ground you can cover the better your percentage for success is. We have many years of trophy hunting experience ourselves, so we understand the similar expectations of our discriminating clients. We recommend that our clients put in for the public lottery draw first. If unsuccesful, in most cases we can arrange for the purchase of an elk tag through the network of landowners we work with. If you are confused about how the state lottery system works, please let us assist you. Kerry Sebring High Lonesome outfitters is a NM trophy outfitter and trophy hunter himself so if its bowhunting bull elk or big game rifle hunts or NM trophy antelope we are at your service.
MORE INFORMATIONBook your hunt for 2017 now, as the March 21st application deadline is fast approaching. Many of our clients return to hunt with us year after year which is the best compliment we can receive. We invite you to experience a comfortable, pleasant and rewarding hunt with us this year in New Mexico or Old Mexico. We are USDA permitted to operate in the following areas: the Gila, Lincoln and Cibola National Forest Districts. We also maintain permits with the BLM and New Mexico State Land Department. Licensing can be confusing and difficult, so leave the details to us.

I often receive solicitations by email to work for foreign clients coming into town for an event they are hosting. The type of events range from a few hours of a global sales meeting to full multi-day conferences, and every kind of networking / cocktail / gala / awards reception you can think of in between. I've noticed that many of these out-of-country clients work with very specific mandates and shot lists, sensibly, since they are typically the same kind of organizations that mount events worldwide and need to ensure a consistent quality across their global portfolio of events.
Here are some tips to make the process smoother and easier for event planners looking for creative contacts in a city they are unfamiliar with:

Noon Prayer: Monday in Holy Week
Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Today at school my girls were able to dress up as something they want to be when they grow up. One of them wants to be a teacher and the other one wants to be an astronaut. To go with their outfits I made work badges for them to wear. Both of them were adhered to an old plastic pass. Then I punched a hole and hung it on a lanyard.
I quickly designed them using the new iPad app. Then I cut it out of vinyl with my Cricut Explore. Using vinyl made it easier to transfer all the letters.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago – West Indies wicketkeeper Nicholas Pooran will be banned from participating in the upcoming Digicel Four-Day Regional tournament after signing with the Khulna Titans in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
As a result the player will also be unable to take part in the Regional Super50 tournament, which will get under way early next year and also impact his chances of eligibility for the West Indies.
Pooran's woes, as WICB chief executive officer Michael Muirhead explained, stems from not honouring his contract with the Leeward Islands Hurricane for the upcoming tournament, which has resulted in a suspension from WICB sponsored tournaments.
"Nicholas Pooran has decided not to play for the franchise (Leeward Islands Hurricanes) that he was selected for. All persons who are entering the (WICB Four-Day) draft, sign that they will make themselves available and commit themselves to playing for whoever they are drafted by.
If you fail to honour that then there are consequences. The consequence is actually is that he won't be able, for a specific period, play for WICB sponsored tournaments," Muirhead explained.
While admitting that the player's period of ineligibility did not rule him out of selection for the regional team, Muirhead explained that he could be put at a disadvantage.
"It does not mean he cannot play in a West Indies team if he is selected but it might lessen his chances of selection by not playing in our tournaments, but it still means that he could be selected if the selectors see it fit to choose him."

My posts are loosely based on emotions/mental drama and anguish while introducing you to some books bearing the same or closely related titles/themes.
J is for Joy!
Are you enjoying the journey? Or are you merely happy, content and existing? I decided many years ago that I did not want to be happy, I wanted to find joy! That doesn't mean life or the journey will be easy nor does it mean I will laugh at the hardest circumstances or situations. No, it means that when the hard stuff comes I can make the decision to pull myself together keep moving and get 'er done!
When I was child, there was a monkey at the zoo who would smoke cigarettes and throw poo at the patrons. He would laugh and seemed to gain pleasure and satisfaction from his accomplishments. Sometimes life can hurl poo at you and it seems there is some monkey somewhere laughing at you and making folly of all your efforts.
For me social media can be overwhelming and thoughts of failure press through my mind bringing insecurity and anxiety and I want to walk away. But I can't. When my older children were younger I impressed upon them the importance of never quitting and to do all things with their whole heart.
That face right there! That's joy!

Survey Shows Americans Are Unprepared for Dental Emergencies
By: PR Newswire
Sep. 25, 2009 07:30 AM
NEW YORK, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Although 72 percent of Americans have fillings, caps or crowns and one in six had a dental emergency during the past 12 months, most are not prepared to deal with a dental emergency, according to a recent survey conducted by Majestic Drug Company, a leading provider of oral care products.
Interestingly, in the national survey of 1,000 Americans, those with a lower income (less then $35,000) were more likely to have had a dental emergency in the past 12 months (vs. 14 percent of those who make $100,000 or more).
Of those who had a dental emergency, 23 percent involved a loose crown or cap, 10 percent involved a lost filling, while 72 percent said their dental emergency involved something else.
Among those who had a dental emergency involving a loose crown/cap or a lost filling, 67 percent immediately went to a dentist, and 14 percent looked for a temporary solution to purchase, while 19 percent did nothing at the time.
"You keep medical supplies on hand for cuts and bruises, but what about your teeth? It's important to be prepared for a dental emergency in case one happens, especially if the emergency occurs on a weekend when your dentist just isn't available or you are on the road and cannot seek immediate dental care," according to Brian Gold, D.D.S., who practices in Monticello, NY.
Dental emergencies can range from a dislodged cap/crown or lost filling to a knocked out tooth to pain or a cracked denture. Majestic Drug Company explains some common dental emergencies and suggestions for treatment.
Remember, temporary dental solutions are just that--they are temporary. Make sure to seek professional assistance from your dentist as soon as possible.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, United Capital Financial Advisers, LLC ("United Capital"), a Financial Life Management firm, announces the launch of FinLife Partners, a turnkey advice and planning platform that allows independent advisers access to the firm's proprietary Financial Life Management system, including adviser-branded client experience tools, digital workflow technology and personalized on-demand coaching.
Under this new offering, select advisory firms will be able to white label United Capital's industry-changing tools and offer them to their advisers and clients under their own brand and ADV. At a time when transparency and cost disclosure are increasing and fees are being challenged, FinLife Partners provides advisers with investment portfolios that can translate to cost savings and a guidance offering with potential revenue growth and margin expansion. New United Capital offices that fully employed the Financial Life Management system have realized top line revenue growth of nearly 30 percent, net new asset growth of 10 percent and pretax earnings increases of approximately 40 percent in the first 12 months. Participating advisers and FinLife Partners are equally incented ─ neither sees an upside unless the adviser grows. Pricing beyond technology is based on revenue growth realized through the Financial Life Management client experience system.
Based on extensive research, usage by more than 80 United Capital offices and over a decade of investment in its platform, United Capital has fine-tuned an approach of connecting customers to their money that is unique in the industry. The proprietary and time-tested Financial Life Management digital client experience tools, including the Money Mind® Analyzer and Honest Conversations® exercise, lead to a measurable impact in client retention and referrals.
"The competitive landscape has changed so much in the past few years for the individual adviser with the rise of new retail competition, incredible advancements in technology and an ever more discerning client base. We feel it is our responsibility to help the best advisers in the industry demonstrate their value in this new world," said Joe Duran, founder and CEO of United Capital. "Our system strives to deliver spectacular results in both client satisfaction scores and individual office performance, and we know we can help beyond our own ecosystem. That is why we are offering our advice platform to advisers who share our client-centric and forward-leaning view of the world."
All systems go
Along with the tools and training, firms accepted to use FinLife Partners will also transform their offices with award-winning technology. Using the fully integrated, cloud-based digital office solution enables scale and efficiency that helps firms grow profitably and allows staff to focus on high value work. The technology that powers FinLife Partners was built, used and tested over the past decade into a proprietary instance of Salesforce. It integrates the scale of a digital front office with the power and utility of middle-office systems. This means custodian feeds, e-signature, open architecture financial planning software and data aggregation with investment technology platforms, including Envestnet|Yodlee and Morningstar ByAllAccounts, are integrated in the technology solution as well as single sign-on capabilities.
Addressing one of the biggest concerns that advisers face today, the time and cost of managing technology, this infrastructure is built and ready to go. Ongoing reinvestment and technology administration is managed by FinLife Partners.
"Three years ago we saw that the industry was evolving and that technology would require us to make changes. We've invested the time to explore options and observe who offers genuine innovation and leadership. We chose FinLife Partners because it offers process, technology and client capabilities that we couldn't develop on our own," said John Lame, CFP, CEO and Founder of Cincinnati-based Lenox Wealth Management. "We found a solution to partner rather than sell our business while getting the scale of a national firm with the advantages of local ownership and governance."
Upping the game
Excellent client experience starts with prospect engagement and carries through to each deliverable. That's why FinLife Partners includes the ability for advisers to use personally branded design and content materials. Collateral includes hosted websites, digital marketing tools and the client Guidebook ─ a modern day financial plan that exceeds portfolio reports to provide an informed approach and measurement tool for the clients' financial life. These tools are designed to set an adviser apart and make them more relevant in a world of commoditized investing and planning.
To ensure a consistent and quality delivery of the system, advisers will need to be qualified and participate in a custom-designed coaching process designed to help them successfully implement Financial Life Management techniques.
"We've built something that we know works and improves peoples' lives. What we've developed has taken years of work, millions of dollars and our collective expertise. We have always believed in partnering with the best and most innovative firms in the industry," states Mike Capelle, Head of Platform at United Capital. "That has allowed us to build a fully integrated, best in breed solution that helps our advisers always be on the leading edge of innovation. We have had overwhelming interest from advisers in using our process. Now, for the right advisers, we can address that need."
About United Capital Financial Partners
United Capital Financial Advisers, LLC ("United Capital") is an independent financial life management firm. United Capital is a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) offering clients objective advice and an open architecture platform that enables a wide array of investment management solutions tailored specifically to client needs.

text: I am dealing with- my 10 yr old DS with issues, I have posted alot recently. I live with my husband (his step dad) and when DS comes home I don't feel like my husband is into this with me. He is frustrated and wants to give up on him, and has told me on and off that it's my fault, and my issue now. I didn't listen to him (he likes punishment to be screaming at someone, and taking all things away for minimum of 2 weeks) he was brought up in a more strict household, you know smack your face off for a smart mouth. I am moving in July back home where I'm from just for more support, we have no family here. I am so scared because husband and I aren't on the same page, I feel like he doesn't care anymore but I have a 10 yr old DS that wants to die. I have to make it until July.
