Military in Iraq Used 70M Rounds of Ammo Annually: DHS Ordered 750M Rounds in One Month Sodahead, Keys to Liberty 8-21-12
Posted on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 8:32:45 PM by maggiesnotebook
"We've seen our Government buy a lot of ammunition lately and we have speculated 'why?' Is this routine? Do we do this every year? Are the purchase amounts in-line with what has been happening since the Bush Administration and September 11, 2001 - which changed everything? We don't know. Is the Government buying up ammo so a shortage occurs for you and me? Are we the targets? We don't know. We don't know why even the Social Security Agency is armed, while our Border Agents patrol with bean bag guns. One Retired Army Major General says the Military in Iraq used a mere 70 MILLION rounds of ammunition per year. "Compare that with the 750 million rounds of hollow point bullets that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ordered in March." Maybe we are getting some history after all, and keep in mind, these numbers do not include the purchases of the Pentagon/Department of Defense."
-end snip-
We already have that in Maryland and the other Blue states.
I remember that Israel was tasked at making ammo for our military while Iraq was in full swing. At that time, our troops were using far more than 70 mil. rounds per year.
ATF and US Marshalls and local police training to use military drones and preps for martial law.
30 to 45 days after training starts to take action.
Interview subject says he will not comply and go home to protect his family.
Time to buy a weapon to two and start preparing.
The gov't plans to start panic to justify martial law.
All from the interview.
Could be tin foil hat. But, I am hearing too much of this to think it is.
"Interview subject says he will not comply and go home to protect his family."
GOOD! In normal times, insubordination and mutiny would be considered dishonorable. THESE ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES!!!
The accent is right for NC and the comment regarding "roidheads" rings true, but beyond that there isn't anything in the way of information that could be validated. I'm in NC and haven't seen anything remotely resembling a drone.
Highly likely.
We'll see.
This does seem to mesh with the "DHS Insider" stuff on the Canada Free Press website. So either it's a massive, concerted effort to drive people into a panic and fire the first shot, or it's a genuine leak.
Given the manipulative skills of today's media, it's probably the former. Still, it's wise to prepare for the worst.
They expect an uprising. They will probably get it.
Mark for tomorrow
If only half of it is true, very, very scary.
The airline industry is not going to like this at all.
The good news is there will be plenty of ammo stores to draw from when LEOs refuse to play ball with Obitler. Not all LEOs and agencies are going to turn on their friends, and neighbors.
And it was all combat ammo, no target ammo purchased.
And it was all combat ammo, no target ammo purchased.
Domestic LEOs use ammo other than ball?
Anything that is going to be purchased by the government has to be recorded and published somewhere.
I can't remember the name of the archive/publication, but I remember it would have contract info such as "acme company contract #1234 for 50 widgets over the next x years" or something along those lines.
So there should be data going back eleven to twelve years, and we can see what the trend was, and what type of ammo was bought.
And what company supplied the gummint ;)
If I recall, almost all the ammo purchased was .40 S&W pistol ammo. Good for police work & self defense, but not good for combat.
I can't figure what they would need so much for. You would think if they were planning for an insurrection they would be buying rifle ammunition.
as if I trust anything rense has to say.....
That militaryphotos.net article is from
"The accent is right for NC and the comment regarding roidheads rings true, but beyond that there isnt anything in the way of information that could be validated. Im in NC and havent seen anything remotely resembling a drone."
The Pakistanis don't see them either, until one puts a rocket in their hovel. Are you looking for them and would you recognize them if you saw them? Not trying to be insulting, just asking.
Many thanks for that info!
See my post above yours, do you know the name of the federal publication where contracts and bids for stuff get published?
Details would really help shed light on this!
And the other article posted was from 2004!
"You would think if they were planning for an insurrection..."
I wonder what the procedures are for entering a house of some old nut-ball type with his arsenal of six weapons and 1500 rounds of ammunition is? I was thinking a .40 pistol would be reasonable - but I guess it is SWAT types with rifles that serve those "no-knock" warrants.
Perhaps the pistol would be better to apprehend the extremist as he leaves his desk job of 28 years at the ACME Corporation before he can even get to his arsenal.
I wonder what the frequency of these events could be to not get people all riled up and cause an insurrection?
Yup, and it talks about the amount of ammo being used monthly in Iraq.
Yes they use hollow points. DHS uses Federal 180g .40 S&W.
Go back and read what I said.
Here is a link to an article about the ammo. Most is .40 S & W plus a lot of .223 rifle and some .308 rifle.
I still can't envision a scenario when they would need so much.
Thank you.
For when public, gang-style, summary executions become commonplace?

OK, three types; all hollowpoints?.
What is used for practice at the range, how often, and how many dhs employees go?
And can we find out if the purchase was for say ten years worth?
See my post about that govt publication where contracts are listed, it would have the duration.
I was talking to a friend and their opinion was that dhs was buying it so WE couldn't.
But I was wondering if we could do the math and figure how much for target practice and how much for 'other purposes'?
Absolutely. Domestic LEOs use JHP to avoid having rounds pass through the intended target to one beyond. Black Talon was made LEO only after a big stink in the press. Ball FMJ is for paper punching. JHP for actual live targets. JHP also handles better indoors. It won't end up in the next door neighbor's house. Frangible is good that way as well.
They're kinda hard to pick out at 35,000 feet...
they want an uprising as an excuse to begin what they want to do.
Tell that to the hundreds Obama already killed with drones in places where there are less things flying in the sky.
They never saw what hit them either, or they would have hid.
black talon morphed into golden sabre.
"I still cant envision a scenario when they would need so much."
I can. The outlawing and shuttering of ammunition production in the U.S.

Tens of millions of Americans are going to get away this Memorial Day weekend, but not as many as last year.
According to the auto club AAA, 34.8 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home for the unofficial start of the summer travel season, a 0.9% dip from 2012.
As usual, most will make their getaway by car, with roughly 31.2 million expected to hit the road, AAA says. That's a slight uptick from 2012, and comes even as AAA predicts that Memorial Day gas prices may be their highest in two years. Nationally, a gallon of gas on average cost $3.66 on Wednesday.
Still, AAA expects fewer people to take to the air, predicting that 2.3 million Americans will fly, an 8% dip compared to last year. Dissatisfaction with the airlines, along with the fluctuating economy are key reasons for the predicted drop in Memorial Day weekend travelers, AAA says.
"American travelers are experiencing fee fatigue and frustration with everything from higher fares to airport security," AAA President and CEO Robert Darbelnet said in a statement. "As a result, many are choosing road travel in higher numbers due to the lower cost and convenience it offers. "
For those looking beyond Memorial Day toward their summer vacations, a trip may be more affordable with airline and other travel experts expecting gas prices to drop and airfares to remain roughly the same as last year.
"We are actually seeing more people flying, not fewer, and that's because airlines are delivering strong on-time performance and airfare remains a true bargain," says Victoria Day, of the industry trade group Airlines for America, countering the viewpoint of AAA. The organization predicts U.S. carriers will ferry nearly 209 million fliers globally from June through August, 1% more than last summer, and the most summertime passengers in five years.
Rick Seaney, co-founder of the price-tracking site FareCompare.com, says summertime fares, including those for Memorial Day weekend, are basically flat compared to 2012. But last year's fares were the highest since the summer of 2003, he adds, so flying won't necessarily feel like a bargain.
"They're pretty steep," Seaney says of fares. But airlines, eager to fly full planes, may be hesitant to boost ticket prices much further Seaney says. He added that there might even be a few summertime deals for flights on slower travel days like Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday.
Vincent Greenlee, a computer consultant who lives in Chicago, says he took one look at the $4.20 he would have to pay for a gallon of gas in his hometown and decided that flying over Memorial Day weekend was the better choice.
"We found fares for $230 round trip," says Greenlee, who with his wife Kristin, and sons Malcolm and Lincoln, is traveling to Fort Myers, Fla. to visit relatives. "For that price, why deal with the driving and high gas prices?"
But Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst with GasBuddy and the Oil Price Information Service says that in much of the Midwest, where gas is costing more than $4 a gallon, prices should start to drop, possibly as soon as this weekend.
If you "have a half tank of gas, your patience will be rewarded with lower prices by Sunday," Kloza says.
That relief should soon be felt in other pricey areas as well, like California and the Pacific Northwest. "You will see prices drop appreciably, perhaps, 20, 30 or 40 cents between now and let's say July 4," Kloza says. "Nationwide we'll see prices average between $3.40 and $3.80 (a gallon) during the summer," similar to what motorists paid last year.
Meanwhile, industry watchers predict it will cost a bit more to rent a car or stay in a hotel over the Memorial Day weekend.
AAA expects car rental rates to average $43 per day, a 19% jump over last year, and the steepest Memorial Day rate in four years.
And R. Mark Woodworth, president of PKF Hospitality Research, predicts the average hotel room rate to be up by 4% this holiday weekend compared to last year. He expects rates to be between 3.5% and 4% higher than 2012 for the overall summer travel period.

History in the Paint Public Art Tour
In the summer of 2013, a collective of artists, called the Walldogs, came to Kewanee, IL to paint 15 historic murals depicting the long history and heritage of the city. These paintings can be found on many downtown facades, as well as at the Amtrak Station that brings new people to the area, every day. About this mural: Kewanee was founded in May of 1854, when the Military Tract Railroad was routed to the north of Wethersfield. The town founders were from Wethersfield Township to the south, Sylvester Blish, Ralph Tenney, Henry Little and Sullivan Howard, plus Nelson Lay from Wisconsin. Colonel Berrian, civil engineer who supervised the laying of the track through this area, was asked to choose a name and he decided on "Kewanee," a Winnebago Indian word for "prairie chicken." In 1921, Wethersfield's 2,000 people asked to be annexed to Kewanee with its 16,000. That 18,000 would turn out to be Kewanee's peak population.

Republic of Moldova
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Corneliu Chisu Pickering—Scarborough East, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Canadians of Moldovan descent on this 20th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Moldova.
I have enjoyed the opportunity to dialogue with Moldovan Canadians in my riding, here on the Hill and across Canada.
While visiting Moldova this past July, I was fascinated both by how far it has come in 20 short years of freedom and how strong the will is to continue to build a democratic and vibrant society.
All members of the House are here as the result of a peaceful democratic process governed by the rule of law. Too often we take this for granted. Today I invite all hon. members to join me in congratulating our Moldovan Canadian friends and our colleagues the Honourable Veaceslav Ionita and Honourable Ivan Ionas from the Moldovan parliament, who are visiting today for the first time in history the Canadian Parliament in session, for 20 years of independence, 20 years of democracy and 20 years of progress.
God bless Canada and Moldova.
War Resisters
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Libby Davies Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, decorated Iraq war veteran Rodney Watson has lived in limbo for two years in sanctuary at an East Vancouver church with his wife Natasha and young son Jordan, both Canadian citizens.
I have come to know Rodney and know him to be strong in his conviction for peace and justice, and brave in his commitment to go up against an illegal war. It has been a tough two years, and the strong support from the war resisters support campaign has been enormously important.
If Rodney were to return to the U.S., he would likely be charged, which would make his return to Canada inadmissible, tearing him apart from his family.
As many as 40 other war resisters like Rodney are currently fighting to stay in Canada. This Parliament has passed two motions in support of war resisters, yet the government is still trying to deport them.
I encourage Canadians to write to the immigration minister and their MPs about Rodney and all war resisters to support the call for their permanent residence in Canada.
World Heart Day
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Joy Smith Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
Mr. Speaker, today is World Heart Day, a day to raise awareness of the impact that heart disease has on Canadians and all people around the world.
According to the World Heart Federation, over 17.3 million people die globally each year from cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart disease and stroke. Up to 80% of these diseases are preventable through healthy eating, physical activity, not smoking, and decreasing blood pressure levels.
This fall the Minister of Health participated in the United Nations summit on the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases. She stated there that "promoting good health is everyone's business".
I congratulate the Minister of Health for her recent announcement about Canada's tougher tobacco packaging regulations.
I encourage all Canadians to be more physically active, to refrain from smoking and to choose healthy foods.
On World Heart Day, let us reflect on the importance of heart health and make the necessary lifestyle changes to lead healthier lives.
Correctional Service Canada
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jasbir Sandhu Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute the sacrifices and contributions of Canada's 7,500 correctional officers. They are here in Ottawa this week with their concerns.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers. They have worked hard to gain the recognition that correctional officers do not often receive in an environment that is usually hidden from the public view. It is a workplace that is also becoming more dangerous.
In particular, I would like to draw members' attention to the petition campaign that correctional officers launched this week to support their call for action on issues of workers being exposed to HIV and hepatitis C. I am very concerned about their workplace safety.
In closing, I hope all members will join me in a salute to the work and courage of correctional officers, and I hope we can work together to ensure a safer working environment for their members
Public Safety
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Parm Gill Brampton—Springdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, our government received a strong mandate from the Canadian people and is now delivering on its promise to introduce the important Safe Streets and Communities Act.
People in my community of Brampton are worried about the deadly effects of drugs and gang violence. Cultural communities worry about their children being targeted by drug pushers and thugs. This is a growing concern.
That is why the cultural communities voted for their values in the last election. They voted for getting tough on crime and for safer streets.
I urge the Liberal and NDP parties to listen to the concerns of Canadians from communities most affected by crime, such as the South Asian community. Let us pass this bill. Let us get tough on crime. Let us get on with the work Canadians expect of us.
Quebec Cultural Association of the Deaf
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Marc Garneau Westmount—Ville-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Saturday I attended an event held by the Société culturelle québécoise des sourds, and I saw how important it is to understand the reality of the 310,000 deaf and 2.8 million hard-of-hearing Canadians. Barely 20% of deaf people work full-time. Nearly 42% are underemployed and more than 37% are unemployed.
The UN recognizes how significant this is, given that the deaf community has a prominent place in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Although this convention was signed and ratified by Canada, the optional protocol that would enable persons with disabilities to complain has not been. The deaf must have ways to speak out against the government when it does not fulfill its commitments.
It is time to make an effort to support these people, many of whom may be confronted with challenges every day. Education is needed here.
Public Safety
Statements By Members
September 29th, 2011 / 2:10 p.m.
Russ Hiebert South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the NDP member for Surrey North made the outrageous statement that our Conservative government was "callously jeopardizing public safety".
The member for Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca said that we were playing fast and loose with the safety of the people of British Columbia.
These comments are ridiculous, coming from members who just yesterday put the safety of their constituents at risk by voting to give convicted arsonists house arrest, to keep soft sentences for those who sell drugs to children, to give a slap on the wrist to gangsters who run big marijuana grow operations and, even more shamefully, to allow child molesters to get pardons.
Unlike the opposition, our government has a strong track record of getting tough on crime. That is why this spring Canadians gave us a strong mandate to keep our streets and communities safe. It is high time the opposition stopped putting the rights of criminals ahead of the rights of law-abiding Canadians.

Anne-Marie Day Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am deeply honoured today to draw attention to the difficult commitment undertaken by our Canadian troops on Afghan soil during Rotation 10 of Joint Task Force Afghanistan, which took place from October 2010 to July 2011. We ought to commend and applaud the sacrifices and efforts made during this mission.
In 2001, when Canada became involved in this mission, Canadians already suspected that our involvement would be long and arduous. In total, 10 years went by before we considered our work to be done.
Tomorrow there will be a ceremony at Valcartier to mark our soldiers' return. They lived up to the Canadian promise. We can all celebrate their work, be proud of it and honoured by it as well.

Mr. Speaker, on Monday morning, Corporal Kim MacKellar of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, serving in Yukon's small community of Haines Junction, was shot at while responding to a robbery at the town's grocery store. Store employee Frank Parent was pepper-sprayed and beaten by the assailants prior to the ensuing pursuit that resulted in the shooting.
The two accused are now charged with multiple offences, including attempted murder. One of the suspects was walking the streets while on a court-ordered condition and had a lengthy criminal history.
The NDP would have Canadians believe that the accused is the real victim. The NDP and the Liberals complain that the accused will be double-bunked and have no access to support in prison and would be further victimized.
Frank Parent and Corporal MacKellar are the victims, as is the community of Haines Junction.
This government makes no mistake about who the real victims are in cases like this. Our government has the resolve and commitment to see that necessary action to support victims of crime is protected in Bill C-10.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Frank Parent and Corporal MacKellar for a speedy recovery.
The Economy
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Nycole Turmel Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister wants to cut services instead of investing in infrastructure. The President of the Treasury Board, who has his own spending problems, has lost all credibility. He plans to cut hundreds of thousands of jobs by reducing public services. Economists are saying that is the wrong thing to do when we are on the verge of a recession.
Why is the Prime Minister insisting on cutting public services, yet in January he gave the most profitable corporations a gift of $4 billion?
The Economy
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, this government has invested a record amount in Canadian infrastructure across the country. That is one of the reasons why analysts support our economic action plan, which is creating an impressive number of jobs in Canada. But again, when it is up to the NDP to make a suggestion, the only thing the leader of the opposition proposes is to increase taxes. This government is against increasing job-killing taxes.
Government Ministers
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Nycole Turmel Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is asking people to tighten their belts, to do without essential services, but his ministers are doing the contrary. The President of the Treasury Board thinks the consolidated revenue fund is all his and has wasted $50 million in his riding. The Minister of National Defence uses government aircraft for taxis and spends $3 million on private jets.
Does the Prime Minister see how his call for austerity lacks credibility when his ministers are behaving like this?
Government Ministers
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, as far as the Minister of National Defence is concerned.
The defence minister has used government aircraft 70% less than his opposition predecessors and, when he has used them, it has been for important government business. Half of those flights were for repatriation ceremonies, so he could meet the families of those who had lost their loved ones in the service of this country. He goes there to show that we understand their sacrifice, we share their pain and we care about them. That is why the Minister of National Defence is so highly regarded on this side of the House.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Nycole Turmel Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, high unemployment is costly to Canada and nowhere is it clearer than in aboriginal communities.
The National Council of Welfare says that the higher unemployment of aboriginals is costing Canada's economy more than $35 billion a year in lost production and billions more in lost tax revenue.
When will the government build the economy by investing in communities instead of cutting public services?
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
On the contrary, Mr. Speaker, in the government's economic action plan, we made important infrastructure investments in aboriginal communities, and in the most recent budget, the measures of which are still finding their way through this Parliament, we have made important investments specifically in training aboriginal people for the jobs that exist.
I think what aboriginal Canadians would especially support would be if the NDP would support those positive measures for aboriginal people.

Friends remember Jarett Yoder killed in Afghanistan
BRECKNOCK TWP., Pa. - A soldier from Berks County has been identified as one of two members of the Pennsylvania National Guard who were killed in a helicopter crash in Nangarhar, Afghanistan on Tuesday, officials said.
Those who knew Chief Warrant Officer Jarett Yoder, of Brecknock Township, remember him as a soldier who served his country, but also as a family man, track star, soccer player and a hero.
Yoder, 26, married Heather Garay last July at the Reading Liederkranz club in Lower Alsace Township.
"They were actually supposed to get married later in the year more towards the fall, but he got deployed so the club rearranged its schedule so that we could fit them in," said Robin Pritz, sous chef for the club.
Yoder wore his National Guard dress uniform even in the heat.
"It was 105 degrees out and right when they were giving the speeches and everything, it poured rain," said Pritz. "And after just about 10 minutes and cooled it off by 20 degrees and they had a great time."
Those are memories Pritz will hold onto.
"Because it's like one big extended family up here if you will and they wanted to be a part of it," said Pritz, "So, we were all very shocked and sad."
Jarett and Heather not only got married at the Reading Liederkranz club, they also became members. A close friend who has been in contact with Heather said she was on her way to Dover, Del., where his body will arrive.
Anyone who knows the young couple said it's been an emotional day.
"He was very passionate about serving his country and that's why we're all so proud of him," said Dr. Darrell Markley, principal at Oley Valley High School.
At Oley Valley, Yoder was a pole vaulter on the track team and number 11 on the soccer team.
"He played as he kind of lived his life," said Shawn Meals, the soccer coach. "He worked hard. He had a great work ethic. He was very team-oriented."
Yoder graduated in 2005, but he stood out.
At the Liederkranz club, where they plan so many weddings, Heather and Jarrett also stood out.
"In the front, when you walk in ,we're going to have a picture and a book for all the members to sign," said Pritz. "So, they're going to have a month's time to come to sign."
Pritz said he is still thinking about what he'll write to the soldier's wife.
"I know I want her to be strong because I think that's what Jarett would have wanted."

Redirecting to my Homepage
I've got a question about external Links, especially those from Search Engines: If a Visitor comes to my Site due to an external Link, I want him/her always beeing redirected to my Startpage. Any Ideas how to implement this with Textpattern/Html?
#2 2006-11-06 03:46:26
Re: Redirecting to my Homepage
you can probably accomplish this via the .htaccess file. I'm not sure how to do it off the top of my head, but I would research RewriteCond and RewriteRule
Found this sample code out there:
RewriteRule on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^.*sitename\.com.* [NC]
RewriteRule /* http://www.sitename.com/ [R,L]
I highly suggest researching all aspects of RewriteCond and RewriteRule before implementing this sample code

Re: Redirecting to my Homepage
There's probably a PHP script out there, but I would strong advise against using it. Search engine visitors search to find a page, not to be redirected to the homepage and have to hunt for the page they needed.

Re: Redirecting to my Homepage
Found this sample code out there:
RewriteRule on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^.sitename\.com. [NC]
RewriteRule /* http://www.sitename.com/ [R,L]
I tried this now:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.kuechelmann.net* [NC]
RewriteRule /* http://www.kuechelmann.net/index.php [R,L]
and theoretically your idea is an good try. But now i always get a "Infinite Redirection Error". I've also tried HTTP_HOST with the same Result :( The Apache Server Doku is a little bit hard to understand, so if you have any further suggetions it would rahter help me.
Tnx to now—

Active, retired and student members of NJEA and association staff spent Sept. 18 in Camden working with homeless military veterans on GED test preparation and Adult Education tutoring programs at the Volunteers of America Delaware Valley Home for the Brave/Aletha R. Wright Center. They also conducted a Mommy & Me program, and provided homework help at the Anna Sample Complex. In addition, they helped prepare meals for residents and clients.
It was all part of NJEA Volunteer Day held to commemorate the new public-private partnership between Volunteers of America Delaware Valley and NJEA. Funding for the project was made available when staff in NJEA Communications negotiated an advertising contract with CBS EcoMedia that included an unusual perk: a portion of NJEA's advertising contract would be put into a grant that would be awarded on NJEA's behalf.
The grant was created by CBS EcoMedia's "EdcuationAd" program. It funds educational materials to help military veterans gain their GED certificates, learn job skills and money management, and engage in life skills training. NJEA's funding also pays for classroom supplies, linens, toiletries and cleaning supplies.
"Some folks have asked me why NJEA would get involved with homeless shelters in Camden," said NJEA President Wendell Steinhauer. "I tell them when you help the city, you help the schools. If our students, their families, and their neighbors are in need, we all need to step up and help make the situation better."
The Volunteers of America's Home for the Brave is a 30-bed shelter for homeless veterans that opened earlier this year, and is already at full capacity with a waiting list.
The Anna Sample Complex homeless shelter was dedicated by Volunteers of America in 1988 in honor of Anna M. Sample, a woman who devoted her life to fighting poverty in the City of Camden. This 65-bed transitional housing program serves homeless families. This program focuses on assisting the women to become self-sufficient members of the community.
Two shifts of NJEA volunteers worked from 9:30 a.m. 5 p.m. Included among the volunteers was Philadelphia Eagles Radio announcer and former All-Pro wide receiver Mike Quick. Quick, of WIP-94 Sports Radio was on hand at the Home for the Brave to encourage the residents and show his support.
"No veteran of military service in the United States of America should ever lack for a roof over their heads, a hot meal to eat or a bed to sleep in each night," said Paul Polizzotto, president and founder of CBS EcoMedia Inc. "But unfortunately, far too many of them do. We salute NJEA's generous volunteer service today and couldn't be more pleased to bring these two great organizations together."

Welcome to Redmon Wines. We are a small production, family winery in St. Helena, CA. We're told our wines are among the best in the Napa Valley. We're glad you have discovered us!
Small producers:
Each year we produce no more than 1,000 cases of wine. Our signature Redmon Cabernet Sauvignon, is limited to about 300 cases each year. To put things in perspective, each year the Napa Valley as a whole produces millions cases!
We like making our wine in small quantities. Our hands do the work, not large production lines. For example, each fall we hand-sort the fruit from our vineyard. We pick out raisins and anything that is not the perfect fruit. We do this ourselves, and we do it twice!
Best of all, because we are small, we have the opportunity to genuinely connect with our customers. Newcomers love to hear Our Story, and we love to hear about the journey that brought them to us. Together, we form friendships, and the Redmon Wine family grows.
World class wines:
Right from the beginning we made the choice to create wine of the highest quality. That means no shortcuts. French oak barrels, the best fruit, and winemaking practices that result in a truly hand-crafted product.
To increase the concentration, complexity, and wine quality of our fruit, we cut the historic yield of our vineyard in half! Each summer we do a "green drop," meaning we cut off every other cluster of fruit. This improves quality because the available nutrients go into half as much fruit as they would otherwise.
Mother Nature helps out as well. Our vineyard located on the St. Helena bench contains dry, rocky soil from the mountains and lush, volcanic soil from the valley floor. This unique soil combination results in elegant, softer cabernets of superb quality.
Sold by Word of Mouth:
The best things in life don't come easy. Because we are small, we sometimes go unnoticed by visitors to the valley. That's okay. Those who find us remember, and tell their friends and family. In fact, nearly all our wine sales can be traced back to customers we've met personally.
We don't sell though conventional outlets, and we don't sell out-of-state. But we would love for you to Contact Us, so we can chat more about our winery. Whether you come to visit us, or purchase from home, Redmon Wines welcomes you to the family.

Dear Editor,
NAFTA + FTAA + CAFTA= European Union of the Americas
I know- most of us don't want to be negative, and we are tired of hearing about all these conspiracy stories, etc. I love to be positive and be around those who are also but once in awhile I have to just say something in the hope that someone else will see what I see. I have been very concerned about all the good jobs that are disappearing around these days, ie. Geneva Steel, oil refineries, customer service for Hewlett Packard, etc. I looked into it and found that over 1 million jobs have been moved from American soil to foreign soil because the wages are cheaper, etc... I couldn't see where that saves anyone as these jobs are there and we are here, paying taxes, being unemployed, etc. That seems to cost us alot more. But then I spoke to some companies and they are looking to make a profit and lower wages help them do that and also help them compete in the global market. Wow, that blew me away. We have people without work, an appearance of a strong economy, people are saying they have more spending freedom than ever before, more social programs, etc. What is wrong with this picture?
NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), FTAA(Free Trade Area of the Americas) , CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement) all say they are here to help Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, South America to become "brothers" in the world economy and work together to bring more economic wealth to everyone. After some research I have found that isn't what is happening. The intent of these agreements is to get America to give away its strength and sovereignty to the World Trade Organization and penalize us for what we do. Our decisions will no longer be up to our Congress, it will be transferred to global agencies and courts to determine our economic, social, and planning laws.
We can get out of NAFTA this year. FTAA is being considered for passage next year. CAFTA is in Congress right now and they want it to pass in June. We must write to our Congressmen and say No. Please study this and make your own mind up...but it is clear...these laws must not pass. Please help us by writing and talking to all those you know to write also. Our country's southern boarder and our sovereignty is at stake right now.
Info at www.stoptheftaa.org and www.stopcafta.org. You can email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com. Please do something and let us know your ideas.

Amy, I love ya, hun, but I don't need to see your sternum.
Carrie Underwood bugs me. She seems smug. Well, be as smug as you want, your stylist ripped off a Motel 6 bedspread to make your skirt.
LOL @ BabaWawa! LOLx2! Couldn't have happened to a better person!
Damn, that Ronan is handsome. I have fullly boarded the Sinatra daddy train.ReplyCancel
I do not think Susan looks great there.ReplyCancel
Someone tell me again how Ronan is Woody Allen's kid.
Some really hawt ladies making sexy looks. Even Baba Wawa knows how to stand in a light to look decent at her age.
Yaaaay, Pharrel switched to an equally stupid-looking hat
Is Ronan Farrow unusually proportioned, or is that shade?
I love, in this order: Susan Sarandon, Ed Burns and Seth Myers. Woot!
Amy Adams looks great! She was so good in "Her"ReplyCancel
P: Double A
M: Turlington
B: UnderwoodReplyCancel
It's difficult to look great standing next to Padma.ReplyCancel
Christy Turlington is my favorite model ever. She is exquisite.ReplyCancel
If you google Mia's father (I think? Or grandfather) Ronan is a dead ringer.
He very well could be Woody's (for his sake I would hope not) and she just has stronger genes.
Glad to see Ed and Christy still together and looking happy!ReplyCancel
Sarandon has had too much surgery. She's gotten to the "always looks surprised" stage.ReplyCancel
Holy hell there's some bad outfits in here.ReplyCancel
I think Susan needs a stylist or a better one. She always looks like she's wearing cheap clothes that fit poorly.
Ed doesn't look as happy as he should in the presence of his gorgeous super model wife.
TTM I actually like Pharrel's hat here. The other is stupid IMHO.ReplyCancel
I know Simon! Isn't it uncanny?
May explain her attraction to Frank in the first place, what with girls going after men like their daddy 🙂
Ronan is standing so awkwardly in that photo that it's kind of convincing me that it's Woodys kid.ReplyCancel
What is Baba wearing? Princess skirt + turtleneck + random belt contraption?ReplyCancel
Susan Sarandan having a sleepover with Catherine Deneuve.
Chrissy Turlington with her hands behind her back.
Really don't have any respect for Ronan Farrow.. See him now as just another fame chaser.ReplyCancel
Eighty year old women should not wear hot pink. Why? 'Cause it bugs me.
Dunno why it does…ReplyCancel
I know the Farrow genes are strong but holy Moses batman! Ronan looks nothing like woody at all.ReplyCancel
Ronan Farrow looks just like Frank Sinatra. But then again, he looks just like Mia Farrow. All the features that could be from Sinatra could also be from his mother.
The one person he does NOT resemble however is Woody Allen.
And I think given that Woody Allen has dark brown eyes, and Ronan has blue eyes, unless there is a recessive blue-eyed gene somewhere in Woody's genealogy, he actually COULDN'T be Ronan's father.
But then, I haven't done an inventory of Woody Allen's blood relations. They're not exactly all over the internet.ReplyCancel
HOT PINK on older women bugs ME. Not bright colors in general.
He sure does, complete with the "ole blue eyes." It's very striking. I gasped when I first saw a closeup of Ronan.ReplyCancel
Love Ed Burns! Love. HIM!ReplyCancel
He's insanely brilliant. Graduated from Bard at age 15, was admitted to Yale Law (so theoretically he could have graduated law school at age 18) but deferred and graduated when he was 21. Passed the NY State bar. Worked for Hillary Clinton in the State Department then became a Rhodes Scholar.
And after all that he's still only 26 years old!!!ReplyCancel
Although he has a lot of Mia and her father's features, something about the effect of them together scream Frank Sinatra that wouldn't happen unless he were the father. I don't know how else to put it, but that is his kid.ReplyCancel
Yeah, I think he's Frank's.
I think the expression was something like Nancy Sinatra's mother doted on Ronan like an Italian nonna. Except … why would she dote on her ex-husband's biological child necessarily? Confused.
Did you all read Woody Allen's essay in rebuttal to the recent allegations by the adopted daughter Dylan? They actually almost make sense, until you remember that this guy who claims his only crime was falling in love, had nude photos of his 14 year old "as good as" step-daughter and that's who he fell in love with while he was involved with her mother.
So when he talks about Mia Farrow's lack of morals in sleeping with Frank Sinatra while she was still involved with him, and sticking him with child support payments for all those years?
Not so sympathetic.ReplyCancel
Ronan looks like someone pulled his finger. NOT IT!ReplyCancel

His Holiness the Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso) is the 14th and current Dalai Lama. Born on July 6, 1935, he was the 5th of 16 children from a farming family in the Tibetan province of Amdo. When he was two years old, he was proclaimed the tulku (rebirth) of the 13th Dalai Lama. At the age of 15, he was enthroned as Tibet's Head of State and most important political ruler, as Tibet faced occupation by the forces of the People's Republic of China.
After the collapse of the Tibetan resistance movement in 1959, the Dalai Lama fled to India, where he was active in establishing the Central Tibetan Administration (the Tibetan government in exile) and in seeking to preserve Tibetan culture and education among the thousands of refugees who accompanied him.
A charismatic figure and noted public speaker, His Holiness is the first Dalai Lama to travel to the West. There, he has helped spread Buddhism and promote the concepts of universal responsibility, secular ethics, and religious harmony. In 1989, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his distinguished writings and his leadership in the solution of international conflicts, human rights issues, and global environmental problems.

comfortable but runs narrow
"I fell in love with these onlne and at the store. although it felt a bit tight at the front I expected it to get a little loose after a few wear and i break it in. The little strap towards the back by the heel area broke after wearing it for about an hour... i felt it was so comfortable so i returned it a bought another pair of the same shoe and so far so good. very comfortable."

"Loved the square look of these shoes online. When I tried them on they were not at all flattering. I don't have super high arches but the design of the shoe left my foot looking really wide and short. The shoes taper in at the toe and felt very restrictive. Also, the insole was not glued down well and was coming up. These are going back!"

Jamie Hood, British Museum
As work on the Chiseldon Iron Age cauldrons progresses we are constantly making discoveries. Possibly the most exciting feature we have found so far is a decorated handle.
The decorated handle and section of rim came from a cauldron that had broken into several pieces during burial due to the weight of the overlying soil. Although we had used X-radiography to examine the handle fragment in its soil block before we began conservation, it was difficult to make out the surface due to the dense soil and corroded condition of the metal. This meant that when I was removing the soil I had to progress extremely slowly. However, it made discovering the decoration below especially exciting.
The decoration consists of three curved plates that have been riveted below the rim on either side of and directly beneath the handle. The additional plates were carefully made and are likely not only to have been decorative, but also served to strengthen the point where the handle is attached.
While the plates could represent abstract decoration they strongly resemble a cow's head, with the side-plates representing ears, the central plate a muzzle and the handle taking the form of boldly curved horns. Stylised decoration inspired by the shape of animals was not uncommon in the Iron Age and its association with feasting in this context is particularly relevant. However, decoration on cauldrons is extremely rare and this is a significant and exciting discovery.
To help with the interpretation Stephen Crummy, an illustrator from the Department of Prehistory and Europe at the British Museum, has been scanning the decorated handle with a laser to make a three-dimensional image which will show its shape far more accurately and aid in creating a virtual reconstruction of the vessel.

A NEW revised series in the history of Western Civilization
-- History 6A, History 6B, and History 6C --
is now being offered by the History Department. The courses are 4 units each, and each course can be taken separately. This NEW 3-quarter series (6A, 6B, 6C) replaces the OLD 4-quarter series (4A, 4B, 4C, 4D).
Please see the Course Catalog link (to the left) for a full description of each of these new courses. Hist 6A, Hist 6B, and Hist 6C are each transferable to the UC and CSU (see transfer information details at www.assist.org by clicking here). Each course also fulfills General Education areas at De Anza College, the CSU, and UC (see GE lists under Degrees and Certificates link, to the left).
- HIST 4D (the last part of the OLD Western Civ series) was offered for the final time in Spring 2015.
History is the study of past individuals and societies viewed from every possible angle: biographical, social, political, economic, religious and other.
Historical research is a form of critical reasoning by which historians mentally reconstruct past reality from careful examination and study of primary evidence such as historical documents and artifacts.
Students of history learn to "think historically" and see themselves and society developing across time, thus attaining deeper and richer self-understanding.

NYT Co. exec: We won't send the Boston Globe 'to the slaughterhouse'
The New York Times Co. has "no intention to send the New England Media Group to the slaughterhouse," vice chairman Michael Golden told Boston Globe employees on Friday.
The Globe reported Golden stopped by the paper for three town-hall style meetings in the wake of the Times Co.'s plan to sell the New England Media Group, which includes the Globe.
Golden told employees the process would likely take six to nine months.
"We're interested in the long-term future of the New England Media Group,'' Golden said, according to the Globe.
He also added that there are no current plans for layoffs in advance of the Globe's sale.

I've written a book on Python programming for kids and complete beginners. I've also done some classroom and one-on-one teaching with adults and teens. I have them use IDLE, the IDE that comes with Python, because it is simple and easier than having them set up some other IDE (like PyDev on Eclipse).
But over time I've noticed a lot of problems with IDLE that I wish someone would fix. (I'd like to do it myself but I don't have the time currently.) I'm very, very grateful that Python comes batteries included vis-à-vis an IDE, but there are a lot of warts and user interface issues with IDLE. (These are different from the bugs listed on the python.org bug tracker.)
First off, my philosophy is that no serious Python programmer uses IDLE as their dev environment. With that assumption, we can get rid of any need to cater to them and make IDLE aimed at people who are not only new to Python but new to programming in general. IDLE should be an education tool more than a development tool. This means that the IDLE default options should all be set for the basic user, not the power user.
With that in mind, these are things I'd like to see changed about the design of IDLE (roughly in order of importance and priority.)
UPDATE: 2014/12/26 - It's been a few years since I wrote this article, and I've marked the issues that have been solved. Thanks, IDLE dev team!

Francis Scarpaleggia Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
Mr. Speaker, the government says it will privatize the Experimental Lakes Area program, if it does not eliminate it altogether. However, the program does large ecosystems-scale research whose findings inform federal public policy. Because of the program, we have an acid rain treaty with the United States and we have taken phosphate out of detergents.
Canada's ecosystems belong to Canadians. Only the Conservatives would think that privatizing research fundamental to the health of our aquatic ecosystems is a good thing.
Why is the government not treating Canada's water as a public trust?
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Peter Kent Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, let me assure my colleague that it is.
He is indeed correct. The Experimental Lakes Area program, over the decades, has greatly informed both treaty-making as well as public consumer goods; it played a big part in the acid rain treaty.
At the same time, we want to put the research where the challenges are. Environment Canada is moving its scientists farther west, to examine the acidification of lakes in western Canada.
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Francis Scarpaleggia Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
Mr. Speaker, the government is throwing out tools that would allow it to develop and implement a national water strategy.
It is sabotaging the Fisheries Act; it is abandoning the Experimental Lakes Area; it is cutting the Institut Maurice-Lamontagne—the only francophone research centre at Fisheries and Oceans Canada; it is eliminating the water resources strategy group at Environment Canada; and it is ending groundwater modelling. The list goes on.
Will the government ever stop pretending that it wants to adopt a national water strategy?
The Environment
Oral Questions
June 5th, 2012 / 2:55 p.m.
Peter Kent Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, clean and cleaner water is a priority of our government, certainly for Environment Canada. We have invested significantly in our Great Lakes, in Lake Simcoe, in Lake Winnipeg. We continue to maintain the highest standards of water quality monitoring across the country, leaving to the provinces and municipalities water quantity because they are the ones that regulate both metering and pricing.
This government does not pay lip service to the environment, as the previous Liberal government did. We are getting things done.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Malcolm Allen Welland, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday at the agriculture committee, Canada's honey and honeybee producers testified first-hand their gut-wrenching accounts about devastating losses to their industry. Some witnesses reported up to 85% of colony losses. This could lead to a crisis in agriculture production in areas of this country. They also highlighted the lack of support programs for this disaster.
What support is the government providing to these producers to ensure that they will make it through this crisis, and will it take action immediately?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Gerry Ritz Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, we take these types of allegations very seriously. Of course, we rely on sound science to prove these types of situations.
There are reports from the United States and other areas that this type of action has happened. There are studies that are ongoing. Certainly, we will look at those. We will begin our own studies and get to the bottom of this as quickly as we can.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, the witnesses we heard at committee believe that the death of their healthy bees this spring is directly linked to corn planting in neighbouring fields. Corn seeds are coated with neonicotinoid insecticide. Recent research shows that seed planter exhaust containing this dangerous chemical is likely responsible. A number of countries have banned the use of neonicotinoid insecticides. Canadian voices calling for a moratorium are growing.
What urgent action is the minister taking now to ensure these chemicals are not destroying a vital and irreplaceable part of the food chain?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Gerry Ritz Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, as the government, we understand the importance of bees in pollinating our crops and moving forward on that front. We have spent some $3 million on research and development projects to make our bee industry healthier here in Canada.
These are new allegations that have just come to light yesterday.
We are a good government. We react as quickly as possible. However, we do not do things overnight, just like that. We rely on sound science to make sure we are moving in the right direction. We spend our money appropriately, with taxpayers' funding. We can never ever count on the NDP to backstop any of that spending.

Oral Questions

Dave Van Kesteren Chatham-Kent—Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, despite the budget bill having the longest amount of debate in the House and the longest amount of committee stage consideration of any budget bill in over two decades, the NDP and its partners want to delay it and the implementation of the economic action plan 2012.
At a time when the global recovery remains fragile, especially in Europe, Canadians want the government to focus on promoting jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity.
Could the Minister of Finance explain why the implementation of Canada's economic action plan is so important to ensure that Canada's economy remains strong?
The Economy
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, that is the best question of the day so far. It is about the economy and it is about jobs. The economic recovery, particularly in Europe as I know from my discussions today, is fragile. We must protect our own country.
The economic action plan is vitally important for our country. It has been working. We have created over 750,000 net new jobs in Canada. We have the bill before Parliament now to continue with Canada's economic action plan. It is important that we get this bill passed to protect Canada and protect—

Carolyn Bennett St. Paul's, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Minister of the Environment effectively shut the door on including aboriginal groups in the new advisory panel on hunting and angling. That is the same minister who has refused to apologize for listing first nations as "adversaries".
How can the Conservative government exclude the only Canadians with constitutionally protected hunting and fishing rights from this important consultation?
The Environment
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Peter Kent Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, I reject the entire content of that question. The hunting and fishing advisory panel was created to deepen the dialogue with a group which had not been previously broadly consulted, and that is fishermen and hunters.
As my colleague has rightfully said, first nations have a constitutional right to hunt and fish and they are regularly, if not constantly, consulted with regard to wildlife and conservation issues. They also, in many cases, are members of the panel committee.

Post Secret has long been the place to go if you're feeling emo or depressed and want to read someone else's anonymous cry for attention. "Postcards from Splitsville" is being touted as a site that's like Post Secret, but for kids of divorce. Created by Kara Bishop, it's a place where "children can share their divorce-related feelings anonymously and parents can get a new perspective on how this life-changing experience impacts their children's lives. "
Except that unlike Post Secret, which is arty and schadenfreude-y and sometimes even funny, Postcards From Splitsville is deeply unsettling, and raises some questions of authenticity. Like: How are these kids "anonymously" mailing in their watercolors to this site?
Commenters on Huffington Post seem to have already caught on that the cards on the site are mainly by adults, but that still doesn't change (and maybe even makes worse) the distressing quality of the pictures.
We don't have anything really snarky to say about these postcards. They're just really sad.

The children of Israel press forward to their promised land—They pass through the lands of Esau and of Ammon in peace but destroy the Amorites.
