The Pet
John McCain will never be President. Although he is increasingly likely to win the Republican nomination for President, he has essentially no chance of prevailing in the general election. Here we review the reasons why.
First, Mr. McCain's status as the media's Pet Conservative will end abruptly as soon as he faces a Democrat in a competitive race. Alex Whitlock and I explored this point back in 2005. Mr. McCain's hawkish and conservative stances right now are a silent majority, since he attracts attention only for his deviations from the party line. But a closer look, especially one guided by a well-funded opponent, would show him as the harshest sort of authoritarian conservative. Mr. McCain would run well to the right of Mitt Romney in a general election -- not by choice, but because his opponent and the press would put him there.
An inevitable consequence of this is that the tailwind of steadily favorable press coverage, which has largely propelled Mr. McCain to this point, would reverse. The press has no love for hawkish, name-calling conservatives when they are not opposing other Republicans. Its coverage of Mr. McCain would be unremittingly negative, reversing the "maverick" image he has enjoyed to date. He will be portrayed as a cranky, right-wing authoritarian, which is two-thirds correct.
As partial payment to McCain for supplying them with a stream of "maverick" stories, the press has so far refrained from excavating his closet. This also will not last. Oh, look: Charles Keating! And something tacky...
Having digested this picture, which will be on steady display from the moment McCain clinches the Republican nomination, America's legions of Hillary Clinton haters will march into the polling booths, check that the doors are securely closed, throw up in their mouths a little, and pull the lever -- for Hillary Clinton.
If Mr. McCain is obliged to run against Barack Obama, his situation will be far worse. Mr. Obama may be a party-line liberal, but he seldom ventures further to the left, so he will have an easy task positioning himself as the centrist candidate. Even attacks on his plans for the overwhelming boondoggle of nationalized health care will fall flat: he will simply announce his intention to "carefully investigate options" to see which are "affordable and fair", and Mr. McCain will look like the doctrinaire extremist who isn't even willing to investigate. Others have already made the point about how a debate between these two candidates will look.
John McCain sincerely believes he is his own man. And, as a Senator from Arizona, he is. As a candidate for President, he is the media's creation; and what they have built, they can surely destroy.

As a Jewish woman of Eastern European descent, I've always had a particularly strong (if not cliché) attachment to "Fiddler on the Roof." The stories and songs bring back as many memories for me as the first whiff of my mother's house on Passover. "Sunrise, Sunset" is her famous matzo ball soup and "Little Bird" is my father's bad jokes during the lengthy Seder dinner. Yet, "Fiddler" is not just personal for me, this timeless classic is a favorite for so many reasons. The emotional arc of Tevya as he struggles to adapt to a swiftly changing world is a universal story of a father's love, one that spans generations and religions. And now, thanks to the amazing Phamaly Theatre Company, you can enjoy a truly beautiful version of this beloved classic musical through August 11.
Phamaly, formerly known as the Physically Handicapped Actors and Musical Artists League, was the first company of its kind in the United States. As the only theatre company to feature exclusively performers with disabilities of any kind, the Phamaly stage is lit up by actors with disabilities ranging form Parkinson's to hearing challenges, to emotional disabilities and everything in between. What has always been incredibly powerful about a Phamaly show is that the performers don't perform "in spite of" their disabilities. Instead, the individual's disability is included in the character, keeping that particular trait as a part of who that person is. In addition, these actors are also incredible performers, all with strong voices, beautiful stage presence and an ability to capture a story in a way that is unlike any other theatre company in the state.
Led by a moving and powerful Mark Dissette as Tevya, the cast of Phamaly's "Fiddler on the Roof" shines. Each performer brings their own unique spin to these well-known characters, creating a new, yet still familiar, version of the classic story. Mark Dissette's Tevya is emotional and brave, putting on a strong front when he must and showing his softer side when it's needed. Dissette's powerful voice is also simply perfect with Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick's beloved songs.
Daniel Traylor as Fyedka and Jeremy Palmer as Perchick, are also exceptionally impressive, both bringing very believable and warm portrayals to the stage. Ashley Kelashian brings a hugely boisterous version of Yente, the matchmaker. Her energy may have been a bit bigger than many of the other performances on that stage, but when she took things down a bit and simply said good bye to her friend Golde, it was one of the most touching moments of the evening.
The three eldest daughters of Tevya played by Rachel Van Scoy, Kenzie Kilroy and Lyndsay Palmer are also all truly wonderful. Their voices handled the music beautifully, bringing warmth and heart behind all of the lyrics and emotions, making the scenes that each daughter has with her father particularly touching. It is also crucial to note the amazing fiddler (s) that appear throughout this beautiful production. Particularly impressive is the young Leslie Wilburn, who plays the beautiful melodies with grace and ease, and is much stronger than many musicians more than three times his young age.
Phamaly is a professional theatre company, known all over the country, for their unique and powerful productions. If you've never seen a Phamaly production, then this musical is the perfect introduction to this magnificent company, just be sure to bring your tissues. The combination of a classic like "Fiddler on the Roof" and Phamaly is truly the perfect match.

Fiddler On the Roof
at the Space Theatre
Denver Center Performing Arts Complex
Through August 11, 2013

CHICAGO -- For a UFC athlete, the Tuesday of fight week usually consists of checking in to a host hotel, signing event posters and recording weight. Maybe a handful of phone interviews. These types of things.
For CM Punk (0-1), the former WWE star who will fight Mike Jackson at UFC 225 on Saturday at United Center, Tuesday was a little different.
Punk, whose birth name is Phil Brooks, was found not liable in a defamation case on Tuesday. The civil lawsuit was filed by WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann, who sought close to $4 million in damages for negative comments Punk made about him in 2014.
Punk, flanked by his wife and former WWE star AJ Lee, birth name April Mendez, broke down in tears as the jury's verdict was read.
"I don't know if I actually entertained what would happen [if I lost the case]," Punk told ESPN. "I knew, literally, it was a point where, 'This is the rest of my life. This decides the course of the rest of my life.'"
It all makes for incredible circumstances to prepare for a fight under.
The final preparations of his camp took place in Chicago, rather than in Milwaukee, where he trains under head coach Duke Roufus. He testified in his own trial last Friday, scheduling workouts around court appearances.
"I still trained twice a day, I just wasn't hitting pads and grappling with people," Punk said. "The blessing is the hard work is done. I kind of just got to show up and work out.
"With just me, I find it brings me peace. I'm a lot less critical. When I'm working with people, I'm more worried about mechanical things and what I'm doing wrong."
The trial impacted Punk's weight cut, as under normal conditions he would be water loading on Tuesday -- flooding his body with fluids leading up to the actual cut. He didn't do that during the trial, because the judge probably wouldn't have appreciated constant restroom breaks.
And, of course, there's emotional stress. Punk already has a lot to prove. The story of the UFC signing him, despite his lack of MMA experience, in 2014 is well known. So is the result of his debut in 2016 -- a one-sided submission loss to Mickey Gall.
Add court appearances and a potentially life-changing verdict, and it could be a draining experience before a fight.
"Bizarrely, it's made me more focused," Punk said. "The only time I could not think about this case and not be in court was when I had to do something like run sprints, bag work, shadowboxing. It was more of a release. It made me kind of utilize every hour of every day.
"I knew at the beginning of this year, we were probably supposed to go to trial in May. Unfortunately, and I don't think it's a coincidence, it kept getting delayed. Motions they filed put it off I think, to purposefully make it bleed into this week. That's who they are. It's just another hurdle in the race."
By the end of Tuesday, Punk, a lifelong Cubs fan, was in 'The Friendly Confines' of Wrigley Field, leading Chicago in 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game.' It was a UFC scheduled appearance, to promote his fight this weekend.
It will go down as one of the most unique Tuesdays for a UFC fight week. And Punk still has media functions, a weigh-in and the fight itself to go.
He'll be asked a lot in the next few days about his career, where he's been since his loss in 2016 and how much he's improved. But nothing will compare to the experience he dealt with to kick off the week.
"It hasn't sunk in yet, and probably won't for a while," said Punk, on Tuesday evening. "It's been bizarre, super emotional. 'Roller coaster' is a cliche, but that's literally what it's been. Up and down. And now I'm at a Cubs game. It's wild."

For your New York City audiual-visual enjoyment
This is the first time I've written a blog posting (below) to go along with a set of vacation photos, so you'll have to excuse the occasional repetition between the two. I didn't necessarily want my poor old Grandmère reading about my gay sexcapades on previous posts. But for your enjoyment and consideration, I've uploaded some music to play along while you ponder my pics and peruse my post. I couldn't figure out any way to upload the songs only, so you get some music videos as an added bonus. (Does anyone know how to upload an audio file to Blogspot by the way?)
I hope you all have as much fun enjoying my Big Apple experience as I did! I look forward to all your wonderful comments. If you I didn't email you the link to the online photo album, just let me know, and I'll pass it on again. NYC rawks.

Federal Criminal Laws
The Deseret News out of salt Lake City, UT is carrying an opinion piece by former U.S. Senator Robert Bennett concerning federal criminal laws, and mandatory sentences for those offenses. At one time, very few criminal offenses were federal crimes; most offenses were tried under state laws. While this is still true to a large extent, many drug offenses are tried as federal offenses. The mandatory minimum sentences that these offenses carry take discretion out of the hands of judges, who are trained and experienced in determining what is right based on the facts of the specific case, and gives that control to a law that was written with no specific knowledge of a particular case. This can result in people spending inordinate, unfair amounts of time in prison for relatively minor crimes.
Are you facing drug charges in Denver? Contact an experienced Denver federal criminal defense attorney immediately to protect your rights.
As an example of the danger of mandatory minimum sentences, Bennett raises the example of a 20-year-old man who was arrested for possession of marijuana. The young man was also carrying, but not using, a gun. As a result, he was sentenced to 55 years in prison because of mandatory sentencing. By contrast, had he not had the marijuana, shot someone with the gun, and pled guilty to manslaughter, he would spend much less time in prison than he will. These mandatory minimums make it especially important for anyone charged with a federal crime in Colorado to seek the assistance of an aggressive, experienced Colorado federal criminal defense attorney.
Call Alaurice Tafoya-Modi today if you face federal drug charges, or any federal criminal charges. Fighting criminal charges in federal court requires a different set of knowledge and skills compared to state courts. Denver federal criminal defense attorney Alaurice Tafoya-Modi has those skills, as well as the experience you need to protect your rights, and get the best possible outcome from your criminal charges. Facing federal charges is a terrifying experience. Don't face these charges alone, ask Alaurice Tafoya-Modi to stand with you as you face them. For more information and a FREE CASE EVALUATION, contact Mrs. Tafoya-Modi today at (303)813-1100.

We love receiving feedback from our guests. Here's a sample of what they've been saying.
March 2018
We had THE BEST time on our Awesome Walks trip. From the moment Pip greeted us till the moment we left, we were taken care of (way above what I had anticipated).
We found ourselves taking pictures of the food and sending it to friends and family as it exceeded our expectations. The guidance on the walks was spot on and the caravan was cosy and fun. A++ could not recommend enough!
February 2108
My son and I spent a few days walking the Hillary trail with Pip and Alec's support. It was a superb experience; wonderful food and support which enabled us to enjoy the walking and quality time together. Would highly recommend Awesome Walks.
February 2018
We had the most amazing time at Awesome Walks, due to bad weather some tracks were closed but Pip and Alec made sure we got some good walks in and great food. It was a stunning place to stay and I would recommend this unique concept of tramping.
January 2018
Pip & Alec have created something quite exceptional. The atmosphere is warm and supportive; the facilities (including the Uber cool refurbished 70's caravans) stylish, clean, comfortable and quirky; and the walk is challenging, beautiful and rewarding. We learnt so much from you both. Particularly your sensitive and responsible approach to the Rahui & the need to save our magnificent Kauri.
January 2018
I have never felt more pampered on any of my trekking trips than this. Whilst one can choose to request for delivery of your caravan and all of gourmet meals to your desired destination, staying put on site certainly comes with homely advantages, the least of which were the warm company of Pip and Alec whilst they put your delicious dinner together for you.
November 2017
Two girlfriends and I did the Hillary trail over four days and Awesome Walks built our itinerary to suit. When we changed our plans last minute nothing was a problem and Pip was more than happy to accommodate. Pip and Alec and their knowledge of the surrounding Waitakere Ranges is outstanding.
At the end of each big day our caravan sat waiting for us in the perfect spot and all we had to do was sit back and enjoy.
The food was all prepped and ready to be plated along with gorgeous desert and fresh baking for our next day's lunch.
We seriously could not fault the professionalism and attention to every detail. Nothing could of made our adventure any better.
November 2017
My Partner and I recently spent 4 days on the Hillary Trail with Awesome Walks. The walking was brilliant – such beautiful scenery and a well-marked (although challenging in parts) trail. But the après-walk was what really set this trip apart – arriving at each campsite at the end of the day's walk to our fully stocked and beautifully appointed caravan complete with a new gourmet menu each evening (all we had to do was follow the simple instructions). This is the perfect combination of rigorous hiking/tramping and 'glamping' all stage managed by Awesome Walk's Pip and Alec. Could not fault the entire experience.
June 2017
Multi day hiking isn't always easy if you don't have all the gear or skills, but some of us want to do the hard walk without then pitching a tent at the end of each day while surviving on dehydrated camping food. Which is what makes Awesome Walks so well – awesome. The Hillary Trail in West Auckland has never been more achievable with Pip and Alex helping choose at itinerary based on their experiences, and then when you finish walking for the day, you'll find a beautifully appointed caravan waiting for you, all snug and cosy. And what's more all your food will be waiting for you too. Gourmet delights, a hot shower, it really couldn't be better thought out. If only all hearty hikes were like this!
May 2017
My parents organised this trip so I didn't know much about it before I went – I was absolutely amazed by the whole experience. It was a joy to meet Pip and Alec, their two beautiful dogs, two cats, and three chickens! They were so welcoming and had thought of everything we could possibly need. The trip was a perfect balance between adventure and holiday – the walks were beautiful but exhausting (!), so it was lovely to spend our evenings in the comfort provided. The food was truly incredible too! Thanks so much for a wonderful time
April 2017
Fantastic hosts Philippa and Alec made this a 3 day walking adventure to remember! From well planned and stunning views on our walking routes, to delicious and interesting artisan food and condiments, and warm, well equipped caravans with such attention to every detail, this was without doubt the finest glamping and trekking experience. Cannot recommend more highly.
April 2017
Who'd have thought you could experience such a primeval setting only 40 minutes from Auckland? Superb hiking along the Hillary Trail, hosted by a hyper-professional crew at Awesome Walks. Camping with a difference – luxurious caravan accommodation and unbelievable food. You won't lose weight on this hiking trip. Highly recommended!
April 2017
This is such a great find. A really unique experience coupling comfortable, clean accommodation, with access to the best of the Waitakere's hikes and walks. There is so much flexibility around what walks you can do and with Philippa and Alec's great knowledge of the local area this can be adapted for anyone of any ability. We had to change ours because of bad weather but still were able to get out and experience the magnificent bush and coast, followed by truly magnificent home cooked food. The caravans are very comfortable and well equipped to make this an incredible weekend.
April 2017
Awesome Walks was a truly awesome experience, exceeding all my expectations.
The cabins and caravans were charming and comfortable, the food was fresh and delicious and the hosts were friendly and helpful.
Our group of 6 really enjoyed walking in the Waitakeres. The scenery was spectacular and varied and the walks lasted from a few hours to a whole day.
Our stay at Awesome Walks was the perfect "glamping" experience – great hiking coupled with luxury food and accommodation. I highly recommend it.
March 2017
Just had a girls weekend at Awesome Walks and it was FANTASTIC! Fabulous hosts, delicious food and loved sleeping in the luxury caravan. It was raining but we still managed a great couple of forest walks, and wow what a beach! Will be doing this again.
March 2017
Spent a wonderful long weekend at Awesome Walks in the Waitakeres. The eco-friendly cabin accommodation was very comfortable and charmingly decorated. Phil and Alec are attentive hosts and the food they provided was delicious and plentiful. Beautiful environment and delightful place to stay!
March 2017
A party of female friends spent the weekend in the capable hands of our hosts Philippa & Alec who not only provided homemade delicious meals & snacks. They used their extensive local knowledge to outwit the terrible weather to put us onto a walk that was not only spectacular but rainless‼ thank you Awesome Walks

About this Research Topic
Immune regulation results from a finely tuned network of distinct mechanisms operating throughout life and balancing the need to clear infections and prevent self-aggression. Primary Immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are "experiments of nature" where the ability to fight against pathogens is deeply impaired. The study of patients with PIDs has been instrumental to identify and characterize key components and mechanisms that govern development and function of the human immune system. Recently, it has become clear that in congenital monogenic diseases the ability of the immune system to build and maintain active tolerance to self can be specifically altered, so that autoimmune symptoms may easily prevail over infections in these pathologies. In addition, increasing observations have brought the attention to the fact that hypomorphic mutations in genes that control T and/or B cell development are often associated with clinical and laboratory features of immune dysregulation, thus expanding the spectrum of PID phenotypes. For example, mutations in genes driving T cell development can lead to defective lymphostromal cross-talk in the thymus and impinge of negative selection of self-reactive T cells and/or Treg function. Similarly, disorders of B cell development may associate with defects of receptor editing and/or with abnormalities of peripheral B cell homeostasis. On the other hand, autoantibodies can provoke defective immune responses by targeting cytokines and/or immune cells.
This Research Topic will focus on i) summarizing updated clinical and immunological features of diseases characterized by immune dysregulation of known and still undefined origin and ii) gathering new insights into the mechanisms of T and B cell development, function and interaction, in order to broader the comprehension of the pathogenesis of autoimmunity and to ultimately advance the definition of novel therapeutic strategies.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.

Walk into any bar and begin telling a Comcast story. Within minutes it will escalate to violence. Each person topping the next with customer disservice and their loathing of one of our least favorite monopolies.
Everyone has a story. Most have more than one.
Mine began when I naively thought I could move my "service" with just a phone call. The Comcast phone representative said I had, but there is no evidence anywhere that what Comcast says on the phone has anything to do with fact. Taking their box to my new home was easy. Installation occurred when I surprised their installer by out-waiting him. The first bill was prepaid along with the installation fee. The second bill arrived showing that I had a two month credit on my old account and owed two months, plus late fees on my new account. I called and after several long waits and one unexplained hangup, I was reassured it was fixed and all would was fine. Just to make sure, I wrote a letter complete with a diagram showing how to take the money from the credit and apply it with the enclosed check to the new service account. All was quiet. A month later I owed three months and three late fees, but also had three months of credit. I repeated the process of calling, writing and paying. Days passed. On the one hundredth day we hosted a dinner party. It was a lovely evening in the fall. The windows were open to cool breezes. The cocktails were flowing. Many of our best friends were there. It was perfect. Until… it was interrupted by an unrelenting thumb on my doorbell and loud banging on my front door. The music stopped as I opened the door to seemingly perfect silence. The man-boy in the Comcast costume informed me and my guests that he was cutting off the cable. When I asked why, he replied with all the drama and volume he could muster, "because you are a deadbeat and haven't paid your bill in three months."
No, the story doesn't end there. I called Directv and in less than two minutes arranged new service and installation the next day. I placed all the Comcast equipment in a box and drove to the Comcast office. Back then, they only had one in Atlanta. A tiny little place across from the Post Office on West Peachtree. The place was packed. The line snaked back and forth in the queue for the only person at the counter. Everyone was angry. I suppose we were all fortunate that Georgia's idiotic open carry laws were not yet on the books or there would have been bloodshed. When it was finally my turn, I calmly asked to speak to the manager. Surprised, the agent said it wasn't possible and she could help. I repeated my request a few times until she pointed to the corner and said that I'd have to just wait. Wait I did. A half an hour so had passed when the manager walked out to me and asked what he could do. I didn't realize that my blood pressure has spiked such that my voice built from almost normal to a gutteral scream while throwing the box to him, "bend over and stick this cable box up your ass." Yes, the place exploded in applause as I left. Yes, I know you have better stories, please share them in your comments.
Many of you know that I have been attempting to make a career change. The economy has been particularly unkind to those over 45. Or without a particular compunction for greed. Or not independently wealthy. Or if you'd ever work for a small business. Or had been self-employed. Or experienced. Or could actually do things. I'm damned on all charges. I have been looking for a "job in my vertical" – HR vernacular for almost any job that doesn't involve being a trainee selling insurance. Since the odds of me even being interviewed, much less hired are less than the mythical college-educated single woman over 40 getting married,* I have also invested (wasted is likely more accurate) a good deal of time imagining new businesses, inventions and products the world is desperately lacking or that next new killer app. Each ideation with its own outlined business plan inevitably concluding a high risk of failure due to inadequate capital.
Last week I read about AirPaper (yes, I read it on Geek.com). A start up out of San Francisco that will cancel your Comcast service for five dollars. Brilliant. I should have thought of that.
* In the June 2, 1986 edition of Newsweek titled "Too Late for Prince Charming?" covering the study "The Marriage Crunch," in which they concluded that a 40-year old single woman was more likely to be killed by a terrorist than marry – a 2.6% chance – 20 years later Newsweek apologized.

Getting the right carpentry certificate is very important. But having the right certificate can be vital to a carpenter career. Here is a prime example around five other apprentices were working at a cabinet making shop in Plainfield New Jersey Hard times had fallen on company due to the economy at the time. Eventually the company downsized and ended the apprentice program. As a result all the apprentices that were in the program did not receive their certificate.
The company never started there apprentice program again, it was almost a complete waist of time. And very disappointing to the apprentices. The company tried something new (the program) and it did not work out, that doesn't make them bad people but it does put five apprentices out of a job.
One of the best certificate that can be received is from the carpenters union. With this certificate anyone can go anywhere in the U.S.A. and Canada and work on an union carpentry job that can use the help. That is a true certificate to shoot for.
There is a various number of certificates that can be achieved in carpentry as well such as a certificate in O.S.H.A. When achieved it shows that the person who has it was educated in safety hazards which are the most important part of a carpentry job "being safe".
Carpenters also build scaffolds sometimes they have to be built over 100 feet in the air. In this area of carpentry at times a scaffold certificate or additional training is required.
There is certificates in welding for carpenters. There was a time when I worked on the New Jersey Turnpike and several carpenters had the opportunity to do some minor welding. Many took that opportunity for what it was and the good ones that weld the best stayed employed for a long time I asked them how did they know how to do the welds so well, they told me it was the training they had received.
The conclusion is the more certificates a carpenter has the better off he or she is in a carpentry career.

text: To celebrate the festival's tenth anniversary and to define its journey and the path it shared with some artists, we invited Delogu-Sirna-Gautier, Menoventi, Opera and Teatro Sotterraneo to give life and revitalize an abandoned space: A small guesthouse currently under reconstruction owned by the Council of Terni. These companies, rediscovering familiar places under a new light and a different point of view, were asked to reflect on topics such as the concept of " living and inhabit a space", what can we call home and what are its functions, and the relationships of the links in-between indoor and outdoor: to do so, they engaged a shared research and an experimental co-creation process that led to a lab, a space open to the audience where vision and experience come together, where it's possible to meet, to interact in order to define time and space out of the ordinary life. Base X is a place in which time stops momentarily, where anybody can eliminate and suspend their ordinary rhythms and timetables, a place to share that will be accessible during the festival according to a precise time schedule. Base X is a time-paused space, a coral house, an ambiguous blend between a rehab centre, a military camp and a platform for an interstellar launch.

Historically speaking France and Britain did conclude an alliance in 1716 that lasted for a couple of years and it is the poor fortune of our Scottish commanders to find themselves diplomatically isolated....and the defeat at Edinburgh put the nail in the coffin. The level of casualties was exceptionally high amongst the French foot in comparison to the losses suffered by the Highlanders. When the French government heard this they naturally signed the Treaty and then ordered the Maquis du Conde home- some volunteers stayed behind- particularly the Irish........
