(CNN) - National Republicans praised President Obama Thursday and declared that he has "kept all his promises" and is "truly the greatest president ever."
No, this is not an episode of "The Twilight Zone." It's an April Fools Day joke from the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
In a new Web video, the GOP organization tasked with regaining control of the Senate this November, cheers Obama for solving global warming "by replacing cars with low-emission unicorns" and achieving an unemployment rate of "negative 39 percent," among other "accomplishments."
If it wasn't already clear, the committee quickly said it's only joking:
"Get real," an announcer abruptly said. "ObamaCare is just the latest in a long list of broken promises by the liberals in Washington. No transparency. A government takeover of health care. And even more jobs threatened by billions in mandatory new health care costs. Promise after promise…broken. Don't be fooled by Obama and the Democrats in Congress."
The RNC is the joke. They had the White for 8 years and at the end of those 8, look how they left the country. Now they have the nerve to rag on a one year old administration.
For every half-way intelligent comment by Paul Ryan and his ilk, there are dozens of pathetically ignorant comments by the rest of the GOP. If the Tea Party People really want to accomplish anything, they ought all to leave the GOP and form a serious conservative party if that's what they want. If so, I think the GOP would come in third in short order.
How low can they go? Desperation is misery!
The RepubliKlans are the real fools, and the Joke will be on them in November when they loose even more seats.
Republicans celebrate April Fools by praising Obama
'Celebrate,' eh? Typical two faced behavior by Republicans.
Why don't they also 'celebrate' Sarah Palin's "Real American Stories" that begin on, you guessed it, April 1st.
If only the republicans could use some of those creative juices to solve a problem or two.
One of the biggest challenges for America today is lack of credible political opposition. As we have just seen, a party of temper tantrum is just as useful as having no opposition at all. And a bunch of Democrats giddy with success are not a good thing over long term, so I sincerely hope that, for the benefit of all Americans, GOP can be reborn from its current sad and absurd state.
I guess April fools day is one of the few days Republicans tell the truth, eh?
Republicans, part of the alleged "Christian," "family values" party, are the most mean-spirited and classless individuals existing in politics today–and probably throughout history. Their tacky, negative, hopeless and unproductive ways are so predictable at this point. They need new optimism at the helm, but I think a 'hopeful, optimistic, positive and encouraging Republican' is entirely oxymoronic.
The last paragraph sounds like a line from the Rush (lie) show!!! (or maybe Faux news)
The American people are tired of the same old Reptilicon lies.....can't they make up any NEW lies?????
The Repugliban only fooled themselves with this lame attempt at a joke, they are the true joke of this country and the biggest failure in government in our history. If you are looking for fools on any other day besidea April Fool Day you need look no further than the nearest Repugliban, they are all fools and morons, uneducated and illiterate fools the whole bunch of them, most cannot read above 6th grade English and yet they put down others who cannot say the word vote. If it were not for bigotry and racism this lame party of Greedy Old Pigs (GOP) would have nothing to stand on as a platform, Nuff Said!
How mature.
Typical Republican, They just complain , complain and DONT do much else...
Repubs are sore losers. You had your chance for 8 years and RUINED the country. Now you blame the current president for your past mistakes? Screw you repubs, you make me sick. Shame on you.
I don't think this is funny at all and I love a good April fools joke.
Why does everything the republicans say have to be mean, rude, snarky or completely out of line?
When did we decide that being rediculously brazen having no manners at all is OK in our republican leaders? Frankly, I'm embarrassed that this is our example to the world.
I'm not saying the Dems are perfect, but they don't seem to have lost all sense of decency like the republicans have. Even with all of the constitution-ripping Bush antics no one stepped out of line like the republicans have over health care.
I'm beginning to think the real anti-americans are the ones doing all of the finger-pointing with the right hand.
This has to be a joke. Its like the jock punching a nerd in the face and telling him "April fools". The only thing funny about it is how callous, aggressive, and uncreative the jock (i.e. GOP) is in this scenario.
The Republican Party is the greatest bunch of boobs this country has seen since Lincoln. This is not an April Fools Joke, this is a proclamation of fact. I wish the Republicans had told George Bush that attacking Iraq was wrong, but the boobs just went with the Cheney-Bush lies. I wish the Republicans would not have let Bush-Paulson hand $350 Billion Dollars to Paulson's buddies on Wall Street, but the boobs just went along with the theft of American Tax Payer's Monies. Boobs – not Hooters! Republicans are Boobs!
HaHa and the Republicans have bent over backwards to support and do what's best for America. HaHa April Fools.
The most creative thing the GOP has done in years!
What foolishness to spend money on this. Now, the National Republican Senate Committee, can promote that they not only are "The Party of No", but the Party of No Sense". For fools, money well spent! Marlene in Mich
Don't be fooled by politicians period. The industry of politics is about deception. Any political party claiming any form of moral high ground is a liar. Politics is about getting elected and staying in office. The rest is just about people being fooled by their politicians.
It's fine to disagree, but why do extremists have to demonize anyone who disagrees with them? It makes them look irrational.
Well, this video should put to rest all those criticisms about the GOP wasting contributors' funds...
Heres a joke, Republicans actualy care for the people. hahaha thats a laugh
I guess they forgot to include the 1-800 phone sex number like they put on their fund raising mailers.

Oh Deer! Turtle Smashes Windshield and other Roadway Animal Hazards
For those of us who spend most of our time driving in and around the
Minneapolis, St Paul, Twin Cities area of Minnesota it's not uncommon
for us to have close calls on the roadways with animals. The mornings
and evening hours are particularly dangerous as deer and other animals
become more active, especially in the spring and fall.
While deer are responsible for about 75% of fatal accidents involving animals, other animals causing crashes include horses, moose, dogs, bears, squirrels, cats and opossums.
Are you worried that your vehicle could be broken into? If you travel a lot or simply carry expensive items in your car, you might be concerned that your car is accessible. Many thieves aren't going to bother trying to pick your lock -- they'll just smash your windows. Here are a few ways you can improve the security of your car.
Tinted auto glass requires special maintenance and repair. When tinted, windows will have a thin film across them. If damaged, this film can begin to pull away or become opaque. To keep your tint looking bright and new, you will need to maintain it properly.

A Transcription and Analysis of Urban Playground Singing Games and Chants for Pedagogical Use
The problem of this thesis was to transcribe eight authentic urban playground singing games and determine their pedagogical implications in an elementary music currriculum. The sub-questions of this thesis were: What do the collected singing games contain in areas of form, meter, rhythmic, and melodic elements that can be applied to the music curriculum?; What is within the singing games that can further the skill development in the areas of movement and improvisation?; and How can these singing games be applied to a regular elementary music curriculum?
A review of singing game collections containing urban playground singing games is included. Found within the literature are a number of authentic resources published for educators looking to expand their collections, compiled together in this thesis.
Ten singing games were recorded and transcribed. All ten were included in the thesis.

I had a marvellous time at the London Craft Beer Festival last Saturday. I had a spare ticket and I had no hesitation in reaching out to Pete McKerry (@PJMcKerry) to see if he was keen and luckily enough he was so I had a drinking buddy for the night.
Now I've only met Pete a few times and really enjoyed his company but haven't really known him that long. How did I know to ask Pete?
In short, Beer Twitter.
When you first get into beer and blogging its not too difficult to find interesting people to follow on twitter (all roads lead to @totalcurtis). I discovered Pete on twitter and met him for the first time over a few drinks organised by Steve (@beerolockshow) at the DraftHouse in Old Street. I'd interviewed Steve and Mark for my podcast after meeting them through beer twitter where I discovered their podcast.
During the podcast Steve said, "I now have a bigger group of friends than I've ever had as a result of doing the podcast". I didn't really know what he meant at the time, until the weekend.
It was great to have a few beers with Pete and have a chat and we also met up with loads of other people from Beer Twitter in London. One of things we did talk about that got me thinking was what happens when you meet people from Beer Twitter In Real Life?
Is there an etiquette to it? What are the different scenarios and how do you react? Have you ever noticed someone you interact with on Twitter and thought about introducing yourself? All questions we pondered.
When you recognised someone from Twitter IRL
At a beer event there is no doubt going to be someone from BeerTwitter there that you've never met before. Do you introduce yourself? How? Do you shake hands? Mention your twitter handle?
For me, this really depends on the situation and what type of mood I'm in. I first introduced myself to Matt (@totalcurtis) at a beer event a while ago referenced I followed him and that was the start of our IRL interaction.
Sometimes I'll recongnised someone but not make the formal introduction, either because the stuation doesn't allow or I simply get the fear.
I don't think I've ever had someone come up to me, sadly.
When someone from BeerTwitter that you've never met IRL invites you to something
This can be a tricky one. You don't know the person, you've never met then, they could be using an anonymous name. I met a Luke McGlynn (@mcglynn784) at BrewDog Shepherds Bush for a Cloudwater Tap Takeover after he'd gotten in touch via twitter as a fellow West London. Since then we've met a few times and I'd definitely consider him a beer buddy.
When you meet someone then start following them on twitter.
This is something I've done loads. You meet someone, introduce yourself and have a chat and then follow it up with a tweet later. This is nice way for the person to link the name to a face to a twitter handle.
I'm sure there's plenty of other scenarios and other stories for people to share on their Beer Twitter IRL experiences. I've now met plenty of people from BeerTwitter IRL, some I would consider friends, and will hopefully meet loads more (looking at you @thabearded1).
Either way I think connecting through social media and in person is great and should be encouraged, especially over beer!
I'd love to know your BeerTwitterIRL stories.

Despicable cowardice
The images were harrowing. The chemical weapons attack by the Syrian government on the rebel-held city of Khan Sheikhoun, in Idlib province, on Tuesday last week, killed at least 86 people, including 27 children. The photos of small children—among them toddlers and mere babies—huddled together, or in a relative's arms, or half-covered by a blanket—show all of them with their mouths open, indicating that they died as a result of asphyxiation, doctors on the ground said.
Another image, less graphic but no less horrifying, showed a 29-year-old father, Abdul-Hamid Alyousef, weeping as he held his nine-month-old twin babies, pressed close to his chest, after they succumbed to the attack. Their names were Aya and Ahmed, The Independent reported. "Say goodbye, baby, say goodbye," the grief-struck father said, stroking their hair. Eventually he took them to a mass grave, where 20 other members of his family, who also perished in the attack, were being buried.
The Independent's report also noted that another member of the Alyousef family, Aya Fadl, saw her relatives and some of her students among the dead piled on a pick-up truck. "Ammar, Aya, Mohammed, Ahmad, I love you my birds. Really they were like birds. Aunt Sana, Uncle Yasser, Abdul-Kareem, please hear me," Fadl said. "I saw them. They were dead. All are dead now."
A team from Doctors Without Borders, who examined some of the victims, reported that the symptoms they exhibited included convulsions, constricted pupils, and vomiting; the likely cause was exposure to a toxic nerve agent such as sarin.
The Trump administration has seized upon the chemical attack as rationale for launching a military strike against Shayrat airfield, where the Syrian government aircraft which bombed Khan Sheikhoun departed from. A total of 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from two destroyers; the runways were left intact, but US Defense Secretary James Mattis said the "measured response resulted in the damage or destruction of fuel and ammunition sites, air defense capabilities, and 20 percent of Syria's operational aircraft." He added: "The Syrian government has lost the ability to refuel or rearm aircraft at Shayrat airfield and at this point, use of the runway is of idle military interest."
Perhaps, at another time, the inconsistency of US government policy on the Syrian civil war can be discussed; in 2013, when hundreds died in a sarin attack carried out by the Bashar al-Assad government, the Republican majority in Congress rejected US President Barack Obama's request to launch a military strike. In 2017, the same majority aligned itself with Donald Trump's decision to strike—even though it had not been consulted prior to the attack. Key members of the leadership were told only as the strike was ongoing.
This time, we turn our thoughts to the victims. By one count, the population living in Syria has been reduced from some 20 million to about 12 million; millions have died in the civil war, and millions more have fled the country's borders. Of those who stay, the Syrians who live in rebel-held areas, suffer hellish conditions: violence from both the government and from Isis, destruction everywhere, death always constant.
Assad, with the active support of the Russian government, has demonstrated that he will do anything to keep himself—a second-generation dictator—in power. (As the statement from Mattis clearly showed, the United States has the ability to severely limit Assad's power to inflict harm on his own people.)
The images of children struck dead by the very chemical weapons already outlawed, and which Assad committed to destroying, yields more proof, if more proof were needed, of the helplessness of the Syrian people. It may be no exaggeration to say that, as the civil war rages on, they are only waiting for one form of death or another. Like the children who perished in Khan Sheikhoun, they are asphyxiating.

The best band ever to come from Northern Ireland, the Undertones took youthful adoration for glam-rock and gave it the stripped-down simplicity and energy of punk to create truly wonderful albums of pop/rock (and, toward the end, soul) with a difference. The band's body of work reveals rapid creative growth; each album clearly shows a different stage in its development. The quintet's 1983 demise, as unavoidable as it was disappointing, resulted from a lack of sustained commercial success and the inability to shake the public's first impression of them as an Irish Ramones. Amazingly, their 21st-century return (with a different singer) has so far been worth the effort.
Very young Derrymen when they began in 1976, the Undertones guitar-playing brothers Damian and John O'Neill, bassist Mickey Bradley, drummer Billy Doherty and singer Feargal Sharkey started out writing simple, fetching melodies with lyrics about teenagehood and playing them fast and raw on basic guitars, bass and drums. With Sharkey's piercing, quivering Irish tenor out front, songs on the first album ("Jimmy Jimmy," "Here Comes the Summer," "Girls Don't Like It") are spare and efficient pop gems that are as infectious as measles, suggesting a bridge between teenybop and punk. (The original US edition, wrapped in completely different color Xerox artwork, adds the crucial "Teenage Kicks" and "Get Over You" from the band's first two 7-inches; a limited-edition English 10-inch released at the same time combined those two tracks plus a pair from the LP. The 1994 reissue adds seven bonus cuts mostly contemporaneous B-sides to the original album. The 2003 edition musters six of those and four more non-LP singles sides, including the classic "You've Got My Number (Why Don't You Use It?)."
The Undertones broadened their scope for Hypnotised, making the sound clearer and more instrumentally distinct while telling offbeat stories and describing colorful contemporary characters with impressive skill. (Not for nothing was the album originally going to be called 15 Rockin' Humdingers.) Outstanding tracks include the bitterly funny "My Perfect Cousin," the delicate "Wednesday Week" and the gently self-mocking "More Songs About Chocolate and Girls." Of the four original albums, Hypnotised has the best balance of sophistication and innocence. The '94 CD appends "You've Got My Number" and a handful of B-sides. The 2003 replacement contains only three of those five cuts.
Positive Touch introduces well-placed horns and piano (by Paul Carrack) to the sound and explores much more ambitious ground, a reflection of the band's personal and musical maturation. While the songs are not all immediately catchy, they are ultimately rewarding, displaying numerous new sides and levels to the Undertones. Considering that they had been pounding out rudimentary four-chord riffpunk two years earlier, it's an enormous artistic achievement. The Rykodisc reissue is augmented by the eerie "Beautiful Friend" and three other tracks from singles. The Sanctuary edition goes one better, complementing that quartet with the re-recorded single version of the album's delicate "Julie Ocean."
The Love Parade EP actually a 12-inch single with four songs on the B-side includes three otherwise unavailable live recordings tied together with weird noises and unfathomable dialogue. Most importantly at the time, it showed the band to be newly focused on '60s soul psychedelia.
Perhaps overly stung by their commercial disappointments, the Undertones' final album was made with more ambition than concentration. The Sin of Pride has its brilliant moments a cover of the Isley Brothers' "Got to Have You Back," "Bye Bye Baby Blue," "The Love Parade," "Chain of Love" but the fear of being thought of as an immature pop band drives them into low-key excursions that drift away tunelessly, and overactive horn charts bury the band's instrumental personality. Also, the sound quality is disturbingly distant. (In retrospect, it would seem that the impulses that would drive Sharkey's solo career were already affecting the mothership.) The '94 CD adds three songs left over from the album sessions and some B-sides. The re-reissue augments those six tracks with four more, including the 12-inch mix of "The Love Parade" and a live version of Positive Touch's "You're Welcome."
The UK edition of All Wrapped Up, a posthumous singles collection, fills two discs with all 13 of the band's A-sides plus 17 flips 30 magnificent cuts in all. From the entire four-song Teenage Kicks EP right up through "Chain of Love," it's a stirring reminder of what a truly marvelous band they were. The American version has the same cover photo (a female model cellophaned into a meat dress) but eliminates one disc and 16 of the B-sides. Cher o' Bowlies, subtitled "The Pick of the Undertones," is another compilation with some overlap, but rather than concentrating on 45s, the selection of album tracks portrays the group differently. The Very Best of the Undertones packs 25 songs including nearly all the A-sides and a generous helping of album tracks onto a single fun-filled disc.
The Peel BBC radio EP, produced by Bob Sargeant in January 1979, offers sloppy but wonderful live versions of "Here Comes the Summer," "Family Entertainment" and two others. Combining that quartet of tracks with repeat visits in January '80 and November '82, The Peel Sessions Album amounts to a definitive live retrospective, following the Undertones from what the liner notes refer to as their "callow, endearingly goofy period" through their more proficient prime ("What's with Terry," Gary Glitter's "Rock n' Roll" with a nifty T. Rex coda) to a resourceful horn-free preview of the final album ("The Sin of Pride," "Untouchable," "Luxury").
After the Undertones ended, Sharkey made one great 1983 single ("Never Never") with (post-Depeche Mode but pre-Yazoo) Vince Clarke's otherwise stillborn Assembly and then a not-so-great solo 45 ("Listen to Your Father") for Madness' Zarjazz label the following year. After a third one-off single produced by Queen drummer Roger Taylor (!?), he linked up with Eurythmic Dave Stewart and got his briefly successful solo career underway with "A Good Heart." The singer's first solo album is an uneasy pairing of distinctive vocals and tame, mainstreamed arrangements of material from diverse sources. "A Good Heart" (written, but unrecorded, by Maria McKee) is a sturdy piece of slightly soulful pop; "You Little Thief" (by Benmont Tench of Tom Petty's band) is similarly memorable. "Love and Hate" resembles late-period Undertones, while the Sharkey version of Bobby Womack's venerable "It's All Over Now" is simply a mistake.
Sharkey took another giant step away from his past with Wish. The high-gloss West Coast album production, guitar and keyboards by Danny Kortchmar; songs mostly co-written with him, Waddy Wachtel and Mark Goldenberg has characterless backing tracks that could serve any number of lame singers. The stark contrast of Sharkey's strange voice with such bland commercialism results in a listenable soul-pop-rock record with only one strong character trait. A guest turn by Keith Richards on Tench's "More Love" is wasted; except for the rousing "Out of My System," the routinely romantic songs, while competent, are entirely forgettable.
As Sharkey underwent his transformation into a boring California pop chanteur, the O'Neill brothers took a powder, quietly scorning the business that had shattered their teenage dreams. After several false starts, they returned with That Petrol Emotion, an excellent new quintet that built on past accomplishments without revisiting them.
The Undertones without Sharkey reformed now and then in the '90s for the occasional show, but got more serious in 2003, when the four original players recorded a fine new old-fashioned album, Get What You Need, with Paul McLoone as their singer. He sounds like a bit of a Feargal clone on record (less so in person, where his rock star confidence mildly undercuts the boyish insecurity of the old songs), but that contributes to the familiarity of the sound, which is a good thing. A few of the tracks lack spark, but "Thrill Me," "Everything but You," "Enough," "You Can't Say That" and "Joyland" are all fresh realizations of what made the 'Tones so great in the first place.[Ira Robbins]

Who doesn't like a tasty treat or delightful drink now and then? Humans are remarkable for the incredible variety in our diet. Unfortunately, some of those choices aren't particularly great for our teeth. Here are four beverages you might have every day that can cause damage to your dental health.
Coffee – Many people have trouble functioning like normal without a strong cup of joe in the morning. But if it is taken on the run, particles of that coffee can be in the mouth and around the teeth all day. Coffee causes stains on teeth, and, as with any food or drink, can contribute to tooth decay if not rinsed from the mouth.
Tea – If you prefer tea to coffee, don't think you're out of the woods. Tea can actually cause worse stains than coffee, and can also wear away enamel.
Wine – It might not be surprising that red wine can easily cause tooth staining. But white wine also comes with its hazards. All wine is acidic, but white wine is particularly so. Acid eats away at tooth enamel, and teeth with weakened or eroded enamel stain more easily.
Sports drinks – Some sports drinks are really no different in acidity and sugar content than sodas. But where you often drink soda with other foods, a sports drink during a workout is alone in the mouth with your teeth for long periods. Try water during your next workout.
These and other potentially hazardous foods and drinks can all be enjoyed, but be sure to clean your mouth effectively afterward to prevent staining and decay. To learn more and start on your new oral hygiene routine, call Oceanview Dental at our Oceanside, CA, office today.

I've been programming computer graphics for over 20 years, and doing so professionally in the games industry since 1998.
In my free time I make digital art, which you can see on this site, and on my Shadertoy and Tumblr pages, and I recently took up programming for fun (which I haven't done since people started paying me for it) and have started a blog about it. I also like taking pictures of my LEGO, Warhammer 40k, and motorsports, and I'm on twitter too.
I use 2 names: in the real world I'm Ben Quantock (née Weston), and online I go by the alias of Tekno Frannansa (Tek, for short). The reasons for this are far less interesting than you might think.

Hey all,
I guess some have already seen me asking about this but some of u suggested
It would be great if someone would be capable of updating Dave Chapman's old
U can find it here:
Some info about .cue files:
You rip the whole CD as one mighty wav, then encode it as a single mp3. This
.cue is the solution. You rip the CD as a single wav, encode it as normal
Midnite was so kind to put it in a recent build but it seems to have some
For example you CAN see the markers on the progress bar of the mp3 but it
When u press the right button again it skips back to 0:00 again.
I really hope someone will take the time to look at this since I would love
I already know that I can use a cutter to cut the 1 large file but I really
My hope is that, with the use of dave's old patch it is not to hard for u
Greetz to all of u!

Spiritual Gifts and Brotherly Love
This is my fist blog post in a long time. I'm really not much of a writer but sometimes there are topics I want to speak on or passages from the Word I'd like to share that don't really have anything to do with our ministry updates. So hopefully this will be a format where I can share these things. I'm hoping the Lord will use some of what I share to encourage and exhort others and to help me grow in the Lord as well. Frankly, I'm not much of a writer so I'm counting on the grace of God to help me communicate my thoughts effectively.
Over the last couple of years I've had the opportunity to travel quite a bit. We've lived in Mexico, India, and traveled probably over 8,000 miles in the U.S since this past Feb visiting different brethren. I've been able to interact and fellowship with believers from all walks of life and different cultures. And aside from just this past two years I've also had the opportunity to visit and minister in about ten other countries as well. So I've been able to see glimpses of the body of Christ in different place. However, having been able to live and minister in a couple places for an extended period of time really helps one to see the strengths and weaknesses in the body of Christ in that area. Through my interaction with other believers here in the US I've come to see that for most they do not allow the commands and call of Christ to permeate every facet of their life nor do they really want what they say they see in the Word as it pertains to fellowship with brethren. It's easy to say we want fellowship, that we love the brethren, or that we want the Spirit of God to move in our midst…ect. But when put to the test most really don't want what they say they want. While I don't want to go into too much detail I would like to share some of my experiences since being back in the U.S.that have served to hightlight what I've just said. I normally don't share more personal things like this but I think they are very telling of some of the hinderances in the body of Christ.
Recently the Lord revealed something to my wife and me about another believer and something going on in their family. In fact, the Lord wanted us to go and speak to them regarding what He had shown us. The Lord not only showed us what was going on but that the meeting would not end well. We didn't have the money to go but prayed about it to the Lord. That night the Lord gave my wife a dream that we would have the money to make the trip. Sure enough once we set our hearts to go we had the funds to get there. Now this wasn't just any brother. This is a brother who I know serves the Lord and I've ministered with on many occasions. In fact, I considered him a dear friend and one whom I've learned so much from. He's a brother I'd been so thankful the Lord had put me together with. So, the Lord had us go and share what He had shown us. Unfortunately this brother and his family took much offense to what was shared and said they could not fellowship with us any longer. The sad part was God had testified to everything we shared and it is was undeniable to both me and this brother. And indeed it ended just like God had shown us. Because of being offended they began to question the gift of prophecy and whether God would speak to people through dreams or not (even though this had just come to pass)..or whether God would show someone else's sins to another member of the body of Christ. They failed to see that the whole thing was of God and that this came about because God cares for them and see's what's going on in their life. It certainly was difficult for me to lose a good friend and a brother who had taught me so much. But what are you to do? If God show's you something or wants you to speak something you have to do what the Lord says no matter the cost. Even if for a time you lose the fellowship of those you considered friends. But aside from the grief of losing a friend, for me the greater grief is seeing people shun the Spirit of God by rejecting the gifts that God gives by His Spirit. The gift that seems to be especially shunned is the gift of prophecy – which I would say includes "words of Knowledge (along the same line). Everyone is ok with gifts of healing or miracles..ect but when the someone beings to operate in a true prophetic gift or true word's of knowledge they get shut out today almost as much as the old testament prophets did in times past. So today you have two main ways in which believers deal with the gift of prophecy so that the Spirit of God cannot operate in a fellowship as He would have. One, you have a large segment of Christianity that has reduced prophecy to nothing more than "preaching the word of God". Somehow they twist the scriptures to silence the prophetic gift from operating in their fellowships and regulated all the prophetic gifting to be in pastors who preach from the bible. Many try to support their unbiblical doctrine by using the verses out of 1 Cor 13:8-10.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
They take this passage to mean that once the bible was complete (the "perfect" in verse 12) prophecy, tongues, and knowledge, would be done away with. Yet they fail to read just a few more verses to see when this would take place. It will take place when we finally see Jesus face to face as it says in verse 12. I highly doubt these people have seen Jesus face to face therefore meeting the biblical requirement for these things to cease. But those who hold to this view have even greater problems when they regulate prophecy to just preaching. If prophecy has been done away with then so has their preaching! If indeed preaching is prophesying! Yet somehow they continue to preach week after week. Not only that Paul says in chapter 14 that He wishes the whole church would prophesy (verse 5). And in verse 31 Paul says that everyone can prophesy one by one. So by their understanding everyone should be able to take turns preaching. But I guarantee you that you won't find that practiced in any church that holds the position that preaching in prophesying. So the truth is they are not even faithful to what they say they believe. But it's all built on a faulty assumption of what prophesy is anyway. No wonder it's a mess! At least we can see from scripture that because we have not seen Jesus face to face that prophesy has not been done away with. Now there are certainly times where prophecy does include Spirit inspired preaching. Preaching that preaches the heart of God to any specific situation can be included in prophesy. But prophesy is much broader than that. Not only does it include forth telling but it also includes foretelling. Just as Agabus in Acts 11:28 prophesied of a coming famine or as he prophesied of Paul being bound in Acts 21:11. Agabus was foretelling the future. I would even say that having word's of Knowledge are also included in prophesy or is at least in the same vein. Why? Because if God gives you a word of knowledge about someone it is something that often exposes the secrets of their heart (which prophesying does). I remember a time years ago that girl came over to our house because she wanted to talk about certain issues she was having and sin's she was dealing with. But she would never tell us what the issue or sin was. She wasn't wanting to be honest and expose herself. However, during out time together the Lord quickened to both Lisa and I what the sin was. It was a certain sexual sin that this person did not want to reveal. Lisa met with this girl the next time alone and shared with her what God had shown us and it was just was God had shown us. God had given us a word of knowledge about this girl and exposed her heart. And the purpose of God exposing this ladies heart was for repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation. God's purposes are always to bring about good in these situations. But what about those who say the gifts of the Spirit haven't passed away? I find that many who will say that the gifts of the Spirit haven't passed away will say that they want to see them operate but once they do they forbid it to happen during fellowship. Why? Because when someone prophesies or speaks a word of knowledge many times it's something that exposes the heart. Of course that doesn't always feel good and it is often taken as negativity. And even if they agree with the word spoken many will often say "it's not the word but the "tone" or "the way you said it". When in all reality it really is a coming against the word spoken. So they do exactly what Paul tells them not to do! Paul say sin 1 Corth 14:39-40: "39 Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done decently and in order."
They quench the Spirit keeping people from desiring to prophesy and forbid people to speak in tongues. And all this while professing they want a new testament church with apostolic power. As long as people are afraid of gifts of the Spirit truly operating as they should they will never see their fellowship truly resemble they type of fellowship God desires. The truth is many times when someone prophesies or shares a word of knowledge to someone in reality is something the person they are sharing with already knows. Sometimes they just don't deal with the issue or are in denial. Thankfully the Lord continues to find ways to exhort us in the faith and help us to be further conformed to Christ. So let me ask you..do you despise certain gifts of the Spirit? If you do then you despise God Himself since He's the one who gives them. Let us see that all of God's gifts serve to benefit the body of Christ and to help us Glorify God.
Now after my disappointment with this brother God burdened me to speak to another brother on the same issue. I certainly wasn't looking forward to it after my last experience. And after seeing a brother I thought I was close to cut off fellowship with me I was thinking this could go either way. So I shared with this brother some things out of concern and love. This brother though received it in meekness and love and actually said it was perfect timing. God had been speaking to their family about the same things. I was so relieved. I was expecting the worst but it turned out good. They saw what I shared as concern for them in love and not a personal attack. If we look at 2 Cor 7:12 (KJV) we can see what is most likely the heart of those who come to us with exhortations and corrections. In 1 Cor Paul rebukes the Corinthian church for allowing a man who has committed a perverted sexual sin to remain in fellowship. Not only that but Paul corrects them for quite a few things. Then in 2 Cor Paul gives his reason for his exhortation and correction. He says: "Therefore , although I wrote to you, I did not do it for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you". Hopefully that is how each of us will receive exhortations or corrections from brethren in Christ.
It doesn't matter how close brethren are or where a particular fellowship is in their walk with the Lord together at some time or another offenses are going to come. Whether they are real offenses or something that is taken wrong and considered offensive it's going to happen. The question is what do we do about them? I've seen brethren (and experienced it myself) divide and disfellowship each other over disagreements and offenses in which there is no biblical basis for a separation. There are clearly situations specified in the word where disfellowship and divisions are called for. (There is no biblical basis for unity at all cost.) As far as I can see they include those preaching heresy, those who intentionally cause division, and those who persist in willful unrepentant sin. There are also case where those with doctrinal differences might not be able to minister together in certain settings but they should be able to still fellowship together in love and worship of the Lord. But we live in a day and age in which the culture that seems to say "our feelings and our rights" come first. Unfortunately, that mentality whether people realize it or not, often carries over into the church. And because of this, even among those who claim the name of Christ, people are quick to divide or disfellowship over issues which should be worked out in love. It is clear from scripture that one of the principle fruits of those in the faith is their love for the brethren. 1 John 2:10 says: "He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him". If one truly has love for the brethren and an offense come they will seek to work it out in love. Knowing that they are dealing with one that Christ has redeemed and one who is an actual member of the body of Christ. Not only that we are commanded to forgive just as God in Christ has forgiven us. When we disfellowshp a believer in Christ for unbiblical reason it is a very serious thing. In 1 Cor 8 Paul talks about how a believer is to act towards eating food that has been scarified to idols. Paul goes on to talk about our liberty in Christ as long as we don't offend the conscience of a weaker brother. Paul then makes a very strong statement in verse 12: "But when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ". That's really severe. If you sin against a brothers weak conscience in the matter of foods sacrificed to idols you actual sin against Christ! Why? Because the one you sin against is one that Christ has bought with His own blood and one in whom Christ lives by the Spirit. How much more sever is it to cut off a member of the body of Christ for something Christ has not said to disfellowship over? It certainly goes against everything God says regarding the love that should be manifested within the body of Christ. And no matter how much someone reads their bible, prays, or minister if they persist in a state of unresolved sin against a brother their sin remains before God. So how are we to treat offenses when they come? They should be opportunities for us to show the grace of God and forgive the one who offended us especially if they seek reconciliation. Or if we have offended others by some wrong they are opportunities to humble ourselves admit our wrong and seek forgiveness. The love of Christ will compel true reconciliation. The greater issue in all of this, even more than the individual reconciliation, is the glory of God…..the testimony we show to the brethren and the world around us. Everything we do is to be done for the glory of God. Christ said in John 17 that the world would know us by our love one for another. When we divide over unbiblical issues we destroy the glory of God that should be projected and manifested to those around us. However, when we dwell in biblical love and biblical unity (founded on the Truth – God's Word) we project the glory of God that can only be manifested through the love of the brethren. The fact is there are some things that can only be learned by working through offenses and disagreement with brethren. As for me personally, I've often found that when and offense has come between me and a brother, and it's worked out in love, most of the time our relationship and bond in the Lord actually become stronger. So what about you? Have you offended a believer or been offended? Are there unresolved issues in your life? Now is the time to seek to resolve them in Christ. Not only for yours and your brethren in Christ relationship but also for the glory of God. Remember, everything we do is to manifest God's glory and goodness to each other and to those who are outside the body of Christ. Ultimately, if our doctrine does not affect the way we live our lives towards each other then our doctrine is worthless.
Well, I have more to say but I'll save that for another post. I thought I'd end this post with a song from a home fellowship in Canada. The song is called Christ our Life:
May you be blessed as you meditate on your life being hidden in Christ and exhorted to put on love.

Thank you both for the encouragement. I know much of what I wrote is like what Mark said, basic and foundational. But it's amazing at just how much basic and foundational teaching (and practice) is lacking in much of the church today. Also, if you like the music by "Christ our life" you can download many more songs from their site for free at:

God Bless for a well written, timely exhortation! There are many things here that speak to me regarding how God exposes sin in the body. Having recently experienced this in dealing with another brother. As well as our expectations and lack thereof in regards to the gifts of the Spirit. There are a myriad of reasons why gifts aren't more prevalent in the body. Above all, perhaps too many seek His hand more than His face. Maybe the gifts would then be more prevalent when we Trust Him through fellowship with Him. I've been meditating on the parable of the 10 virgins for sometime. It's apparent that the virgins without oil have no relationship with the Bridegroom, or else they would not have been shut out.
This post is such blessing. It confirmed what I feel in my spirit.
Peace and grace from the Lord!

New Voices w/ American Nomad, Garrin Benfield, Wendy Burch Steel, Laurie Lewis hostsPurchase tickets online
May 30 8:00 pm
Laurie Lewis, longtime Freight favorite and host of New Voices, is so excited about these talented musicians that she wants to give the Freight audience an opportunity to hear them perform – and at last century's admission prices, you owe it to yourself to take a chance on getting blown away!
American Nomad features Hassan El-Tayyab and Shiloh Parkerson on guitar and lead vocals, Matt Crimp on fiddle, Ryan Lukas on stand-up bass and vocals, Mikiya Matsuto on pedal steel, and Jim Chakya on banjo. The band plays catchy originals in the wide open territory bordered by bluegrass, folk, and Western swing. Hassan hales from Massachusetts, Shiloh from Alaska, and along with the rest of the band, they found each other here in the Bay Area – a meeting of kindred musical spirits who cook up an irresistible brew together.
Garrin Benfield recently released his fifth album, The Wave Organ Song, which has been called a "chillingly intimate emotional travelogue." The website jambase describes him as "a killer improviser" and "one of the best singer-songwriters to emerge from the Bay Area in recent years. He's also a wicked guitarist and an awful nice human being." Garrin has worked with such musicians as Boz Scaggs, Dan Bern, David Gans, and the group Friends of the Devil. In his live shows, he uses a loop station to add layers of beats and bass lines to his searing lead guitar and compelling vocals.
Wendy Burch Steel recently released her first album, Open Wings, and it's a doozy. Bluegrass Breakdown calls it "a soaring debut album from a talent who will continue to fascinate!" Americana Gazette says, "Keep 'em coming, Wendy, we'll be listening!" Wendy grew up in upstate New York and learned to sing harmony from her father and her four brothers and sisters. She performed in bands in the 1980s, published two books of poetry in the 90s, and circled back to music in the Bay Area, seeking out Laurie for songwriting and vocal coaching. Laurie liked what she heard and decided to produce Wendy's album. "Her voice is a joy to listen to," Laurie says, "and her songs speak from the heart. She has been one of the Bay Area's hidden gems for too long." The Northern California Bluegrass Society agrees. They recently nominated Wendy for Best Female Vocalist.
Catch a new wave of great entertainers tonight at the Freight.

Over the Easter weekend I got to meet one of the sweetest families that were all the way from Los Angles California. They were staying at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise for a small get away weekend to the mountains. What made their Lake Louise family photography session even more fun was their son Kendrick had never seen snow so this was his very first time getting to play in it. He sure thought it was funny when I would through snow at myself, so I did it multiple time during the session to make him laugh and giggle. Anything for the shot right?!? The day of their session winter… Keep Reading

Thanks for letting me be part of your summer vacation and to capture some amazing memories for your family! Enjoy the rest of your mountain vacation!

…the blog that shall not be named
I'm realising more and more that (Open Access) predatory will be more and more problematic in the scientific world. A short while back I wrote about this, and promoted the work of Jeffrey Beall's list. Since that post I've received several more requests from journals. With this post I want to demonstrate what I look at/for when judging an e-mail I receive. Let's unpick the e-mail.
But these predatory journals are problematic. First and foremost they damage the reputation of (social) science. Peer review is often promised but almost non-existent. Of course it is nice to think you are a genius writer and Academic but in most cases *everyone* can improve their work. It does not make sense if an article is accepted within days with no changes requested. Paying to be published is a form of 'vanity press'. Is peer review perfect? Certainly not, I've had my fair share of reviews I thought were pretty dubious (both reject and accept) but I think the alternative, namely *not* to have peer review, would be even more disastrous. Within the realm of 'peer review' we should experiment with variations like post-published-reviews and maybe value other modi (note: I for example have always been quite irritated by the fact that social science does not value peer reviewed conference papers as highly as in Computer Science). But in the core, peer review works, just as long as you are critical about where you publish. I do see an additional tension between the big publishers and efforts to make 'big business' less influential on Academia. I know several small, non-big-publisher journals that are of top quality, but within the current dynamic of OA journals it is becoming increasingly more difficult to recognise them. So if you are in doubt, also ask around. Let's make sure we stay vigilant.

Friday, October 16, 2015
I was doing this yesterday in preparation for my annual trek to the NY Sheep & Wool Festival at Rhinebeck. This year's car rental was a little more tricky because I needed a vehicle big enough to accommodate a rowing machine.
No, I'm not such an exercise fanatic that I have to bring my equipment with me -- I was bringing it to give to my friend Jennifer Heverly, the eyes and hands behind Spirit-Trail Fiberworks.
What you need to know about Jennifer is that she is very good at multitasking. Not only does she provide a solid anchor of parenting to her two teenage kids (i.e. she resists the urge to throttle them on a daily basis), but she also does the books for her husband's landscape business while expertly running a very successful hand-dyed yarn business nearly single-handedly.
Jen's secret gift is that she can run on a treadmill while reading a book and spinning yarn. I'm serious. She runs on the treadmill, reads a book, and spins yarn (on an electric miniSpinner).
All at the same time.
Now you may understand why I was immediately intrigued when she expressed an interest in my once-loved and now-languishing Concept 2 rowing machine. I needed to see just how many other things she'd be able to accomplish while rowing across her imaginary ocean.
I was walking down the hill toward the car rental place when I spotted a young woman up ahead. She was crouched low to the ground, holding something in her hand. The knees to her jeans were torn. This particular street isn't that super, so I immediately wondered if I was witnessing some new kind of drug-taking posture. Was the body language furtive enough? Was she hiding something? Do people crouch in order to shoot up? Then I realized she was just holding an iPhone and framing a picture of the small patch of dirt surrounding a spindly sidewalk tree.
She glanced at me, quickly stood up, gave a nod -- was it annoyance or embarrassment? -- and walked away.
I was intrigued by the thought of her applying her filters and hitting the "share" button, causing ripples of smiles and likes and comments from a whole virtual community I couldn't see. All I saw was a person, a stranger, who made brief eye contact before disappearing. Was she friendlier online? Who did they perceive her to be? And who do people perceive me to be online? Am I that person? Am I being genuine?
Further down the hill, I spotted another woman. She was cruising toward me in a zippy motorized wheelchair. She was smiling, basking in the sun, clearly enjoying the ease of the still-iceless, snowless sidewalks of October Maine. From a distance, our eyes locked in a smile that became words of greeting as we got closer. She was present, and I was present, and I no longer felt quite so confused or alone or doubtful of myself.
At the car rental place, two well-dressed couples with heavy southern drawls were just returning their car and discussing their return to the cruise ship they had taken into town. "Kennebunkport was so naaaaas," said one woman to the other.
My customer service guy asked if a Jeep something-or-other would be big enough for me. "I don't know," I replied, "it needs to hold a rowing machine..." He knew I was on a business trip to New York, and this threw him for a loop. Spotting his confusion, I said, "No, I'm not in the rowing-machine business, I'm going to sheep and wool festival. The machine is a gift for a friend." He nodded, and we completed our inspection of the car.
And the rowing machine, it did fit.

Thank you for your blog about San Francisco, where I lived in the late 80s! Now I, too, am in Maine and responsible for the monthly Author Talks at the Cumberland library. A knitter recommended you and I'm hoping perhaps you can visit in February or March, though I am sure you will be busy publicizing KNITLANDIA. I hope to hear from you at email@example.com. Thank you and best wishes for an excellent day.

And now it's in my car :-). But no, I won't be trying to row and spin at the same time ;-D

I really enjoyed reading this post. It was "niiiiice." Yes, that is really how we say it way down here. The difference in the vowel? "Cause that's the vowel we use in my spot here in the deep South. We enjoy our little differences.

Clara, I just finished your book about yarn and was amazed how much there is to learn. I have two yarns in my stash that I'm thinking about right now. One is 100% cashmere, and the other is 45% angora, 40% lamb's wool, and 15% nylon. Would either of these be appropriate for a skirt?

Clara, I'm currently reading your Knitlandia book. I'm enjoying it but having a hard time finishing it because I read awhile, and I want to knit. So I knit. Then I read awhile more and I want to knit. I like to read about knitting, but it makes me want to knit. Don't know what I'll finish first, my scarf or your book.
Nice work!

From the rich and diverse lands of South America right through to the glamour of uptown New York, The Pit in Harrogate is reaching across the border to bring you the 'Biena Onda' (cool) of Mexican food on to the menu.
The Pit is a great night out. As Harrogate isn't a student town the bars always seem to attract a good mix of people. I've been on a few dates here, grabbing a sharing platter, having an early doors cocktail or play ping pong, although, I'm slightly competitive. Okay, I'm really competitive so entering into a game of ping pong with me at your own peril.
The Pit kindly hosted my cousins hen do. We had our own private room (The White Room) along with a bar tender, James who looked after us very well. After sneakily decorating the room in hen do tack the bride to be arrived to a fizz reception (sorry about the groom, popping out from behind out waiter, James).
We opted for a buffet at £13.95 per person and there was loads of food. Mini burgers, chicken wings, ribs, nachos, chips and calamari was on offer. No ideal for a boozy night out but moreish all the same!
There's even a TV screen in the room which would be great if you decided to hold a works away day – great food, boardroom style table followed by ping pong and drinks afterwards! I used the TV screen to play Mr & Mrs. Em didn't do too badly and was quite revealing on some of the questions *jaw drops*
I've also been for the Pit Ultimate BBQ Platter (£25.95) and it's worth a go. Presented in a big paella pan it included, delicious fries, BBQ ribs, Boston butt (basically tender pork butt), nachos stacked with avocado, salsa roja and sour cream, Cajun chicken sliders, mesquite smoked chicken wings and beer battered onion rings, and a fabulously fresh Mexican quinoa salad & dill pickle. To accompany this monstrous meal you'd have to ordered a Gin and Juice cocktails (£7.50), made with Portobello Road gin.
The Ultimate BBQ Platter isn't for the fainthearted and certainly not for one person to take on alone. Let's start with the finger licking BBQ ribs; oh they sure were finger licking good! The rib meat fell off the bone as did the smoked chicken wings. Great flavours to perfectly suited to a fruity gin based cocktail like Gin and Juice – a great thirst quencher. The fries were delicious, I think they were fried in something amazing. The Pit served a side sauce made of sausage, yes you read correctly sausage.I kept dipping the fries in the sausage sauce – I just couldn't get enough of these tasty little fries. Now lets talk Sliders. 'What are sliders you ask?' Well they are those little chicken burgers. A slider is an American term for small sandwich. The succulent chicken is coated in a Cajun crust and wrapped in traditional mini burger bun.
So if you fancy a feast head down to The Pit Harrogate; and remember… No borders, no rules!
P.S. Thank you to The Pit for hosting our hen do and for the free fizz.

In My Dreams
This will require some full disclosure, but what the hell, if it helps, it's worth it. Fact is, since finding that counting sheep made me allergic to wool, I began lulling myself to sleep these nights by creating an imaginary foundation which, of course, has very substantial resources. One arm of this organization is devoted to "social events" like drug abuse, local poverty, parenting and more. The other arm addresses public information, broadly defined. I have a director in mind for the social work, and a chairman for the foundation. My focus most recently is on the public information function. A major mission of this arm is to counter the pernicious effects of Trump's constant onslaught of lies and "fake news" and Republicans' failure to do what they were elected for, and to find ways to bring honest, accurate information about government and progressive policies to the nation's voters. To head up this group I recruit Lawrence O'Donnell, a major force behind the landmark series "West Wing," and currently doing yeoman work hidden away on MSNBC's "Last Word" program, which airs at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
One of the ventures I have in mind for Lawrence is to direct the production and distribution of 15-minute videos hosted by him and others and sent to network (not cable) programmers for inclusion in their local news and information broadcasts. Clever, huh? So guess what.
I open up the July 24th issue of Bloomberg Businessweek and…viola! There it is! The whole concept. Only it's being implemented as I lay there dreaming by none other than the stomach-turning Boris Epshteyn (that's not a misspelling) and the Sinclair Broadcast Group, described by Bloomberg as "the Fox News of local TV!"
Sinclair currently sends brief videos to 65 local station newsrooms who are required to run them. With a capacity to expand to 173 stations, Sinclair is positioned to spread right-wing poison to Ma's and Pa's coast to coast, rural areas and cities alike. And what alternatives are there for these folks? Virtually none. Add to that the old reliable Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Drudge, David Levin, plus local crazies on local stations and the question that screams out is WHAT ARE PROGRESSIVES DOING TO COUNTER THIS ONSLAUGHT OF RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA? Virtually nothing!
Progressives have MSNBC on cable and little else of mass distribution. The relativity few Trump types who read The New York Times dismiss it as fake news and, sad to say, Trump has largely succeeded in labeling the "mainstream media" as liars and worse, at least as far as his base is concerned, whenever they encounter something that challenges their – or his – beliefs. Al Gore gave progressive broadcast a shot with Current TV, but had to abandon it to low ratings. Online sources are mostly preaching to the choir. Beyond that, I'm unaware of any serious attempts at straight or progressive news and information distribution. Distribution is key. Truthful information has to reach local communities and smaller cities and towns everywhere in order to have any meaningful effect, as the 2016 election so painfully proved.
How many amendments are there to the U.S. Constitution? 32? 25? 17? Not sure? Someone – I don't know who – recently suggested that high school students be required to answer the 100 questions that are part of a citizenship application. It was called civics when I went to school, but it has somehow disappeared from school curriculum in recent years. It's a good place to start, a way to build a better informed electorate, but we obviously need more. We need to help people distinguish a "voter database program" from the voter suppression effort currently being attempted by Trump via Kris Kobach and his fellow suppressors, so they will speak out against it. Or at least believe the press when they do.
Is there no one in the Democratic Party savvy enough to develop a progressive news source that will reach out to ordinary Americans and talk straight? On my desk is the latest mailing from the Democratic National Committee outlining various efforts the DNC is taking in door knocking, phone calls, and other methods for "grass roots" organizing for "Resistance"— complete with a stick-on wallet card headed RESIST. What does that mean beyond sending them a check? Why doesn't an organization such as this think outside the box? Someone there should take a look at the recent 28-page document published by the Southern Poverty Law Center entitled "100 Days in Trump's America." It spells out, in real world terms, how the Trump administration got where it is, the mainstreaming of the radical right, profiles of key people, a 100-day timeline, and suggestions for participation.
Why not reach out to people everywhere, every income level, every education level, every zip code, and provide proven, factual information on the issues of the day? Frankly, I've listened to DNC Chair Tom Perez a number of times and all I hear are the same old "liberal" slogans that the recent election has shown are just another echo chamber. Trashing Trump, however justified, is not a program. Maybe Tom should ask if he can publish the SPLC's document under DNC auspices. That would get checks…and maybe some action.
Just sayin'…

Latest information protection about doable modifications to the Reasonably priced Care Act may have you ever questioning about your health coverage. The division accomplishes this by way of applications designed to offer direct companies, and to be ready to serve all populations that may endure the adversarial health impacts of a catastrophe, be it man-made or natural. For starters all government officials together with Senators and the President should be on the same national health care insurance coverage plan. You may take a look at our page on how to buy health insurance to get a greater thought of what all the jargon means. Most of the classic Chinese language dim sum and ravioli recipes are wrapped in dough of some sort. Be taught more about ObamaCare's open enrollment to know when you can sign up for different types of health insurance coverage.
That said, I still suppose I've had fairly a optimistic expertise with Korean health care, regardless of the unexpected value. If we find yourself with some mandate that everyone must buy private insurance it is going to be a catastrophe, and if we end up with no health care reform that will likely be very serious for the nation financially. The extra revenue solves Social Security's long run funding downside, creates and absolutely funds National Health Care and expands public training to incorporate college free of charge.
The explanations cited are the burden of the uninsured, excessive prices, not sufficient sufferers, and the high price of administration resulting from having to file and refile and combat continually with the insurance coverage corporations. As for the international clinics, it is my opinion that their refusal to simply accept NHIC insurance coverage is against the law. Achieving and sustaining health is an ongoing course of, shaped by each the evolution of health care knowledge and practices as well as personal strategies and organized interventions for staying healthy. Here is a quick breakdown of essential ObamaCare deadlines for signing up for health insurance.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) issued a report on Thursday revealing that breakfast cereal marketed for kids incorporates a median of 40 % more sugar than adult cereal. First, if you do not have health insurance coverage, you should have a selection of excessive-high quality, reasonably priced coverage for yourself and your family — coverage that can stay with you whether you move, change your job or lose your job. Next time you are feeling guilty about assembly your good friend for dinner instead of hitting the health club, you may wish to think again. I'm earnig month-to-month wage of 5,000USD a month, and paying about 130 USD premium a month, and my 2 children and oldsters are all coated by my health care. Medicare and employer-primarily based insurance coverage each have their open enrollment and particular enrollment periods as nicely.
It's also believed that the Chinese language have been the primary to make use of bamboo steamers and bronze cooking utensils together with this beautiful Shang Dynasty Bronze steamer for cooking meals. One of many favorite strategies in steam cooking is to wrap and seal the food in foil or greaseproof paper. Just another affirmation: About half the person health insurance market is subsidized and half will not be. Chances are you'll qualify for a particular enrollment interval of 60 days following certain life occasions that contain a change in household status (for instance, marriage or beginning of a child) or lack of different health protection. Issues Thought-about, before you decide me, you want to understand that I was a COBRA Administrator for 3 years, and labored as a 1099 contractor promoting insurance for 1 yr.

CA data modeling suite offers data profiling
CA pleases VARs by updating its Erwin Data Modeling suite to include Exeros' data profiling software.
Last week, CA added data profiling to its ERwin Data Modeling Suite.
ERwin Data Modeling Suite 7.3 now includes support for Teradata's data warehouses and for Crystal Reports -- two moves lauded by reseller partners.
Being able to pump data into the popular Crystal reporting tool is a big bonus, as is the ability to share data with third-party business intelligence tools from Oracle, Cognos and SAP, said Shubi Kamerkar, senior software engineer at Wayside Technology Group, a Shrewsbury, N.J., value-added reseller (VAR). The product also lets users access, publish and share information in the common ODBC format used by many popular products.
The addition of data profiling -- actually from Exeros -- is also important.
"Data profiling allows the modeler to validate that existing data models properly represent the data content," said Antonio Amorin, president of Data Innovations Inc., a Northbrook, Ill., VAR specializing in data modeling. "[That, in turn,] increases the overall accuracy of the ERwin data models."
Data profiling is critical, especially in the aftermath of mergers and acquisitions, when companies have to deal with different data repositories. Profiling compares all of the data sets. Once that happens, the company can remediate inconsistencies in formats across the repositories. All of that needs to happen before the data is usable in large data marts or data warehouses.
The CA suite competes with the Embarcadero Technologies ER/Studio and Sybase PowerDesigner.
The suite -- which contains both the Data Modeler and Data Profiler -- lists for just under $8,000 per seat. Separately, each product retails for $3,995.

Shapes/ Texture/ Material
This collection is an exploration of shapes and texture. All the pieces are composed by 6 basic geometric shapes - triangle, square, diamond, hexagon, arc, and sphere (beads).
Some woods such as purpleheart, walnut and cherry take detailed laser engraving extremely well to enhance the beauty of the wood. On the other hand, zebrawood, wenge, curly maple and oak have very pretty natural wood grain patterns so polishing them with our homemade beeswax is enough to bring the best out of the natural pattern, and we also found that engraving these woods does not enhance the look.
