A/N: Written for the Blaine Love Fest; it started out as an idea/headcanon that Blaine always has to make others smile and feel better since he appears to do that so much on the show and somehow turned into a fluffy Anderbros story.
Blaine had always been the kind of kid who wanted to make everyone around him happy. If a kid fell off the swings at the park, he would be the first one to kiss the boo boos to make it all better. If his mom started crying while cutting up onions in the kitchen, he would hug her legs until she finished. If his dad had a bad day at work and came home with a migraine, Blaine would crawl in his lap and sit with him until he felt well enough to read with Blaine.
By the time he was six, he knew how to make people feel better in his own way. Whether it was his own infectious grin or an impromptu performance, he would find a way to get others to join in his laughter and smile along with him. He didn't always understand what was going on or why the person was upset, but he somehow could find a way to make it a little better.
This was why he knew he had to do something the moment Cooper came home early from what supposed to have been his perfect date night.
Blaine scurried into Cooper's room, his little arms pulling bed sheets along behind him and nearly tripping on them in his hurry. He ran into Cooper and fell to the floor in a heap of short limbs and fluttering sheets. "Oomph!"
"Blainey," Cooper sighed. He set down the bottle of cologne back on top of his dresser and knelt down to untangle his little brother. He tugged on the sheets until a curly mop of a head popped out. Blaine smiled brightly at him as if he hadn't just fallen moments ago. "What have a told you about coming into my room without knocking?"
Blaine's smile faltered at that. "Not to," he mumbled. He looked at Cooper with wide eyes. "I'm sorry. I forgot."
"You're not in trouble." Cooper picked Blaine and the sheets off the floor and set him on top of the bed. "But you if you keep forgetting you will be. Ok?"
Blaine nodded. "I just wanted to play." He held up the sheets as high as he could to show them to Cooper. "Mommy said I could make a cape!"
"She did, huh?" Cooper took the sheet from his brother and acted as if he was inspecting them closely. "Hmm, these do look like good cape material. Optimal for flying. Maybe even a dash of invincibility in the threads too."
"Really?" Blaine gasped, bouncing on the bed in his excitement.
"Really! These will make for the perfect cape. Come here." Blaine scooted towards his brother. Cooper adjusted the sheet so that it wouldn't be too long on his brother and placed it on his shoulders. He reached into his nightstand and rooted around until he found a safety pin buried under some college brochures. He used it to secure the makeshift cape. "There you go, bud."
"Thank you!" Blaine jumped up and down on the bed, pretending he was flying with each jump.
"Careful!" Cooper scooped him up and set him down onto the floor. "Don't let any of those bad guys hurt you."
"What bad guys?" Blaine asked. "I was just flyin'. No baddies yet."
"How do you know?" Cooper returned to his dresser and finished putting on some cologne. "They could've booby trapped the bed springs!"
"I didn't think of that!"
Cooper bit his lip, obviously trying not to laugh. "Better stay away from it until I get back later and can check it."
Blaine's face fell once more. "You're leaving? No! Stay! Play superheroes with me. Please?"
"Sorry squirt." Cooper ruffled Blaine's already unruly curls. "I have a date with Tessa Geller, who just so happens to be the prettiest junior in our class."
"But superheroes are fun!"
"So is going out with hot chicks." Blaine scrunched his brow at that. "Look, sorry B. Maybe Ali will play them with you when she gets here. Mom called her to babysit you until I get home later."
"She doesn't like them," Blaine huffed, looking down at his sneakers dejectedly.
Cooper pulled on his leather jacket before kneeling down next to Blaine. "Well, maybe you can find something else to do. I mean, superheroes have to have secret identities, right? Maybe you can keep your superhero identity a secret while she's here and go along with whatever she asks you do to. Then, once I'm home and she's gone, your superhero identity—"
"Nightbird!" Blaine exclaimed, holding out his cape so that it looked as if he had wings.
Cooper chuckled. "Fine. Nightbird can come out to fight the baddies with me once I get home. Ok?"
"Ok." Blaine still didn't look thrilled at the idea of Cooper leaving, but he wasn't pouting either. Cooper took it as a win. Before he could respond, the doorbell rang from downstairs. "Sounds like Ali's here, squirt. Let's go let her in."
Blaine still looked sad that Cooper was leaving, so Cooper scooped him off the bed and held him up above his head, making swooshing sounds to give the allusion that his brother really was flying. Blaine soon started giggling didn't mind going downstairs to greet Ali quite so much. Cooper set him down once they reached the foyer; he pouted a little again, knowing Cooper would be leaving soon. He tried to smile as they let Ali in and greeted her, but he wasn't as happy as he had been moments ago.
"Whatcha doing with the sheet B?" she asked once she was inside and had taken off her coat. "Is it your cape or something?"
"Umm..." He looked to Cooper for help, remembering what he had said about secret identities.
"Nah," Cooper interjected. "He was cold so I fixed the blanket around him. That's all." He winked at Blaine when Ali wasn't looking.
"I can always make us some hot chocolate if you are cold, Blaine," Ali continued, kneeling down so she was on his level.
"Really?" Blaine perked up considerable at the mention of the chocolaty drink.
"Sure. And maybe some cookies to go with it. That is, if you want to help me bake."
Blaine smiled and started towards the kitchen. He stopped half way there, turned back, and launched himself at Cooper. "Have fun, Coop!"
"You too, Blainey." Cooper picked him up for a proper hug and then handed him off to Ali. "I don't know for sure what time I'll be home," he said to her.
"Don't worry about it. Your parents already paid me for the whole night since they were planning on being out 'til late."
Cooper smiled. "Great! Then I better go. I can't keep Tessa waiting for too long." He ruffled Blaine's hair. "See ya later squirt."
"Bye Coop," Blaine sighed, leaning his head against Ali's shoulder and watching as Cooper left.
"Hey kiddo," Ali squeezed him tightly and rubbed his shoulder, "what do you say we get started on those cookies?"
"Please?" he replied, nodding vigorously.
"Alright. Let's get to it!" She set him down onto the floor and followed him into the kitchen. Blaine immediately pulled a chair over to the counter and started to climb on top of it. "Woah! Hold up, Blaine." Ali plucked him off the chair before he could get far. "How about you let me get everything down?"
"Want to help." He gave her his big puppy dog eyes.
"Fine," she sighed. "But let me help you up. You know you shouldn't climb on chairs like that." She helped him onto the counter, making sure to keep an eye on him as she gathered up the supplies. "Stay still for me, B. Don't want you falling."
"Ok." He fidgeted excitedly but managed to stay more or less in place while she pulled the ingredients out of the fridge. Once they were all on the counter next to Blaine, he dug in with gusto, pouring and mixing everything per Ali's instructions. He may have gotten a little over zealous with the flour and eggs, but he had fun with it all.
It wasn't long before the cookies were cooling on the counter and Blaine was sprawled out on the living room floor with his action figures. Ali kept watch from her place on the couch, altering between Blaine and her homework. Both of them jumped when the front door opened quickly, slamming against the wall before shutting just as loudly. Cooper entered, glanced at both of them momentarily, and then stormed up the stairs.
"Coop?" Blaine said softly, staring up towards the stairs.
"It's ok, kiddo," Ali soothed. "I'll check on him." She squeezed Blaine's shoulder then left to go up to check on Cooper. Blaine waited anxiously in the living room, his eyes still glued to the stairs. He perked up when he heard steps coming towards him, but deflated as soon as he saw Ali again.
"Sorry, Blaine," she replied, noticing his disappointment. "He just got stood up."
"What's that?"
She bit her lip and rubbed at his arms. "Remember the big date he was so excited for? Well, the girl didn't show up like she was supposed to. So your brother's feeling upset right now. But he'll be ok. Just leave him be."
"It's ok, Blaine. It happens sometimes. You're brother will be fine." She gave him a quick hug and walked towards the couch to gather up her belongings. "Just give him some space and he'll be fine."
"You're leaving?"
"Yeah." She slid her coat onto her thin shoulders. "Cooper asked me to. You can keep playing down here for a little while longer. He'll come get your for bedtime soon."
"Ok," Blaine replied somberly.
"It'll be ok, B." She gave him a peck on the cheek before letting herself out, making sure to lock the door behind her.
Blaine sat there for a few moments, trying to think of what to do. He wanted to make Cooper feel better. But he wasn't sure what to do. He tried to think of what would make him feel better if he was upset.
Cookies always made him feel better! And there was a giant cooking sheet of them sitting on the countertop.
With that thought in mind, Blaine hurried into the kitchen, skidding to a halt in front of the counter. He looked up at it and tugged on his cape. It was a long ways up, but it was nothing Nightbird couldn't handle.
He scooted a chair over and started to jump and climb his way up. He made it to the counter, sliding onto it and sitting next the cookies. Just as he was about to start gathering up the chocolate treats, his cape got snagged on a rough spot on the wooden chair. When he pulled on it to free himself, the cape ripped a little and the chair clattered loudly to the floor in the process.
Before he could figure out what do to and how to get back down, Cooper appeared in the doorway, his eyes wide with worry and his hair sticking out in various directions.
"Blaine, what are you doing?" Cooper rushed towards his brother, his hands fluttering over the small boy to check for injuries. "Are you ok? Did you hurt yourself? What are you doing on the counter?"
"Not hurt, but my cape has a hole in it. I couldn't fly back down with a hole in it."
Cooper sighed in relief and leaned against the counter. "Ok. Good." He ran a hand through his hair. "But why did you fly up here anyway? You know you're not supposed to."
Blaine bit his little lip. "Wanted to make you feel better. Wanted to get cookies to take to you. They always make me happy. And you're sad. I didn't want you to be sad."
Cooper smiled a little at his brother. "Aww Blaine." He ruffled the boy's curly hair. "You don't have to do that."
"Wanted to!"
Cooper chuckled at the look of pure determination on Blaine's face. "Ok. Thank you, squirt." He pulled Blaine off the counter and into his arms.
"Coop feel better?"
"I'm getting there."
"Nightbird saves the day?" Blaine asked innocently.
Cooper's smile grew at that. "Yeah." He held Blaine high above his head, once again letting the boy feel like he was flying. "He did!"
Blaine started giggling at that, holding his arms out like Superman smiling down at his brother.
"How about we take some of these cookies and go find some Batman cartoons to watch?"
"I'll take that as a yes." Cooper shifted Blaine in his arms so that he could grab a plate and scoop some cookies onto it. He let Blaine pretend to fly into the living room as well. The two plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV. They soon found some Batman cartoons on and dug into the cookies.
Blaine ended up lying across Cooper's lap with his cape tucked around him. Cooper fingered the holes that the chair had caused. "I bet we could fix these holes. You know, that way you can fly without my help."
"I like your help."
"You do, huh? I thought you'd want to have Nightbird fly around on his own."
"Ok," Cooper relented. "Where did you come up with the name anyway?"
"From you."
"From me?" Cooper gasped.
"Uh huh. Batman is your favorite. You dressed up as him for Halloween right?"
"Um, yeah," Cooper replied, obviously unsure of where this was going.
"Well, Batman has Robin. And mommy says robins are a kind of bird. So I wanted to be a type of bird so I could be your sidekick.
Cooper shook his head fondly at the six year old's logic. "Thank you B." He leaned down and kissed his brother's head. "Maybe tomorrow you can help me fix up my own cape?"
The two stayed that way for a while, lying on the couch and watching the cartoons. Cooper got lost commenting on the various villains and plots with his brother. Before long, he had forgotten about Tessa in favor of scheming up what household items to use as their own gadgets and scheming up with ways of tricking their mom into making more cookies the next day. The night may not have started how Cooper had intended, but it wasn't bad either. He ended up having a lot of fun with his brother instead.
Years later, when Cooper came home for Thanksgiving, he wasn't all that surprised to see his baby brother in a much more elaborate Nightbird costume lugging around bags filled with cans from a food drive. That was just Blaine, and he couldn't have been prouder of his brother.

Information Technology Security for Faculty
As a college administrator, your job is to help your students have the best experience possible. You cover a range of areas: financial aid, student housing, career counseling, alumni relations, and more. The idea of adding "cyber security awareness" to that list may seem daunting,but this message is crucial to the safety of students, faculty and staff.
Nearly everyone on the ULL campus uses the Internet on a daily basis for a variety of reasons.Students use it for homework and social networking; faculty and staff use it to communicate with their students and colleagues. Your faculty and staff may be involved in important research and the development of new intellectual property that need protection.Every person in the campus community has a role in keeping the Internet safe and secure. Creating a cyber-security awareness campaign will make everyone conscious of the part they play, and will ultimately produce a safer campus and a happier college experience.

Skarner Build Guide by ElLatinoRusso
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Skarner Build
Jungle Role
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
this is my first guide and I hope you read it through first before you vote it .I make this guide because in the german LOL-forum some guys wrote, that he doesn´t work as a jungler well and i show your the contrary.
First the profile of our Champ skarner: He is a predator that chases its victims mercilessly.
He needs to be very fast and unpredictable so to play him as a jungler would be my first choice.
I test this guide several games and till now i won every game (sure it depends on your mates too!)
Pros / Cons
High dps
slows victims
Farming abillity (if you play him on a lane)
his ulti
Can gank very easily
useful in Teamfights
His game depends on Items
squishy (lifesteal can fix it a little bit)
Weak early game
His abilities need a lot of mana
Summoner Spells
First of all if you play jungler for me the bread and butter is Smite
without smite you will loose a lot of time in the jungle!
Flash helps you to escape or initiate a gank when your ready to hunt.
Ghost is useful too but i recommend Flash because it is useful for attack and escape- with ghost you can be slowed really easy and you waste your spell if you try to escape.
I choose 16 in offense and 14 in Utilities.
As a Ganker Skarner needs to deal DMG and for get the duration of the Buffs longer he needs the points in Utility Mastery .
awareness] helps you to get the maximum xp in the jungle and with [[sunder you can get the Armor rapidly down.
-CDR (Cooldown Reduction) for spamming your abilities
Take a look at your Abilities:
Energize: This is your passive. This ability helps you to spam your skills frequently
Crystal Slash This is my spell to max it out first, because of its AOE dmg and ability to slow your oppenents Crystalline Exoskeleton this makes skarner to a perfect predator- speedbuff + shield- anything else?
Fracture could be very nice, if the scaling would be a little bit better. For me the lifeleech isn´t notable without items.
Impale This Spell is 100% fun! You can seperate the opponents Team and pull out your victim which your prefer- you can save lifes too if you care about teammates!
Skill Sequence
First i start with Crystal Slash. This is necessary for your profile jungler. with this spell you can slow your victim and harras well the lane if you need to stay their for a while.
With Crystalline Exoskeleton you got the perfect combination: movement buff for you + slow your opponent.
First i max
second Crystalline Exoskeleton
and third Fracture because the lifeleech is not the greatest.
My Skill order before a gank is from lvl. 1-5: Crystalline Exoskeleton Crystal Slash Crystal Slash Fracture= WQQE
When you got your Ulti you than: Crystalline Exoskeleton Impale Crystal Slash Crystal Slash Fracture = WRQQE
So let´s take a look at my Itembuild.
I would love to build a jungler, so i start with Cloth Armor and five heal pots.
First i build Wriggle´s Latern which is necessary for a jungler + you can place wards for you and your team!
I prefer to be the fastest Predator so i buy my Boots of Mobility. Wth? Would be your first thought BUT with this movement you can gank very easy + you can follow your victims very easy.
With The Brutalizer you get CDr and DMG + Amor pen the costs aren´t very high and your dmg would be very nice till now.
Philosopher's Stone helps you to recover your Life + Mana which you use a lot in a litte short period of time. The secound thought about is - you can combine Impale with Shurelya's Reverie (Uoesn´t work with Flash for example).
The Hextech Gunblade gives you AP + DMG so it explans itselfs.
With [Banshee's Veil] do you have some magicresistance + Life and Mana.
This itembuild is not ready. i´m thinking about Sheen + Trinity Force....
Creeping / Jungling
My Joungleroute is nothing special i guess.
*I do not create this map- i found it on google and i found it very helpful to explain my route*
Let somebody pull you the Blue Golem and after you kill him visit the wolves- start using your first Healpot after you get hit by the big boy.
After Blue you go to the whitches and use your Smite at the big one- after you finish them you are LVL 3.
Than go to the two Golems and at least you can make the Red Buff. When you use your Pots right, the five will be sufficent for the whole jungle!
After the jungle you are LVL 4 and it is time for your Gank!
Ganking with Skarner is very funny! BUT: It is important to communicate with your Teammates!
Ping early and ask everytime if your mate is ready!
If you gank mid so start with Crystalline Exoskeleton > than Flash and than Crystal Slash
So at least this guide is not finish and i like to finish it with your help! So pls tell me your thoughts and ideas which you have with Skarner.
I hope this guide helps you and shows that Skarner is a good Jungler.
I will update this Guide daily.

Somebody apparently thinks there is a bit too much hot air—above Ada County. On Monday, April 11, commissioners will consider amending county code to restrict hot air balloons.
"No person shall operate, land or takeoff in a balloon, plane or other aircraft in Ada County Recreation and Events Services Areas without a written agreement..." reads the amendment. Violations would be punishable by a $100 fine.
Sponsors want to tack the amendment onto county law that restricts nuisance to property and wildlife.
UPDATE: A spokesman for Ada County told Citydesk that "Ada County Recreation and Events Services Areas means land managed by Ada County's Recreations and Event Services Department, which covers Expo Idaho/Western Idaho Fair property."
"The proposed ordinance comes as a result of a recent balloon incident which resulted in the balloon hitting some power lines on the fairgrounds which caused a great deal of electrical damage to county property," said Rich Wright, Director of Ada County Department of Administration.

Vino con Brio was my last stop on my day's journey to Lodi. With barely six wineries under my belt for this region, I am already looking forward to heading back. Vino con Brio is a little more remotely located than some of the previous posts, but no less charming as it is also the location of Amoraso Inn & Gardens. Approaching the tasting room, there are four adjacent rooms across some charming landscaped gardens. The tasting room is small but charming with a few barstools available for tasting.
NV Amorosa Sparkling Wine – Stinky and harsh. Sadly undrinkable although my friend who travel led with me this day seemed to enjoy it. $12.99
2003 Sauvignon Blanc – Aged in 100% French oak, this dark golden offering is bright and fruity. Acidic mid-palate with a grassy, mineral finish. $15.99
2003 Pinot Grigio – With 10% Viognier. Engaging and warm with floral aromas. Both fruit and mineral qualities appear in the mouth feel that is layered with a long, creamy finish. $15.99
2002 Viognier – Sweet, floral bouquet enters the mouth with kiwi and green apple flavors. More mineral qualities on the finish. $16.99
2001 Pinotage – There are only ten wineries in the U.S. growing this grape more known from South African producers. Very bright and engaging, cherry and raspberry appears as part of the bouquet and initial taste. The mouthfeel also provides some hints of orange peel as the exciting, fruity mid-palate smooths out to an even, complex finish. $19.99
2001 Sangiovese – Explosion of raspberry candy subsides a bit to reveal some grassy aromas. Acidic and tannic, the fruit continues but in a rather sharp way. $15.99
2001 Syrah – Tight qualities in the nose of mineral, herbal, and green vegetable. Thin and vegetal in the entry with some fruit, but not quite enough. $15.99
2002 Vibrante Red Blend – A blend of 72.5% Syrah, 22.5% Mourvedre, 3% Grenache, and 2% Petite Sirah. Fabulously exciting aromas of cinnamon combined with dark chocolate-covered cherries. The candyshop essences continue into a petulant mouth feel of cocoa, dark cherry, and a spicy, engaging finish. $15.99
2001 Old Vine Zinfandel – I'm wondering how long this bottle was open as the characteristics were decidedly oxidized. Thin flavors and aromas of mushrooms and truffles in a long, earthy finish. $21.00
Vino con Brio ~ 12479 Locke Road ~ Lockeford ~ CA ~ 888-410-VINO

Watch any speech by President Obama and you will more than likely hear him talk about jobs and the middle class. The reason he does this is because the polls show the number one issue on the minds of registered voters is the economy and jobs.
When I want to be persuasive I like to stick to the facts. Let's looks at the facts on jobs and the economy. Based on the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau, small businesses are responsible for over 90% of the net new jobs, over 50% of the private sector workforce and over 50% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
If President Obama really wanted to create jobs it would be very, very simple: Help America's 28 million small businesses. Ok, now let's see, what is the one and only agency in our government to help small businesses? The answer is, the Small Business Administration (SBA).
Now, what is the largest program managed by the SBA that was designed to create jobs and help the small businesses where most Americans work? That would be the federal law that requires a minimum of 23% of the total value of all federal contracts and subcontracts be awarded to small businesses.
So, let's take an accurate look at how President Obama is treating the only agency in government to help small businesses and the largest federal program in U.S. history to direct federal infrastructure spending to the middle class and create jobs.
Remember what I said earlier about sticking to the facts? No federal agency in recent history has seen its annual budget GUTTED more than the SBA. The SBA's annual budget has been slashed more than 25% over the last 24 months. The SBA's annual operating budget was higher 30 years ago when Ronald Reagan was President than it is today. Unprecedented!
I won't get into how President Obama tried to completely close the SBA by combining it with the Department of Commerce. If you're interested, here is a link to a couple of TV spots I did and an article on that subject
Now let's take an accurate and objective look at how President Obama is handling the 23% government wide federal small business contracting goal. According to the latest data from the Federal Procurement Data System, last year 175 Fortune 500 firms received federal small business contracts. The year before, 235 Fortune 500 firms received federal small business contracts.
Am I juggling the facts to try and make President Obama look bad? Let's see what the SBA Inspector General says. Every year of the Obama Administration, Obama appointee, SBA Inspector General Peg Gustafson has named the diversion of federal small business contracts to large businesses as the number one problem at the SBA. EVERY YEAR!
How about this? Professor Charles Tiefer, one of the nation's leading experts on federal contracting law, recently issued a legal opinion that found small businesses have been fraudulently cheated out of over one TRILLION(!!!!) dollars in federal small business contracts. Did I mention that President Obama appointed Professor Tiefer to serve on a commission on federal spending in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Here is one last piece of information about President Obama and his commitment to small businesses, the middle class and job creation.
In April of 2013, President Obama hired the former Director of Corporate Communications for the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, Terry Sutherland to head the SBA Press Office. Since the vast majority of the rampant fraud and abuse in federal small business contracting has taken place at the Pentagon, what do you think about President Obama putting a man with 20 years of experience as a spokesman for the Pentagon as the head of the SBA Press Office?
Terry Sutherland, or Commander Cover-Up as he is known around Washington, has handled many of the most sensitive and controversial issues affecting the single largest agency in our government. Things like downed spy planes, military games in China, rape, murder and 9/11 whistleblowers like the top secret intelligence-gathering group Abel Danger.
So why does the smallest agency in Washington need a professional PR cover-up expert from the largest agency in government like Terry Sutherland (Commander Cover-Up)?
I'm guessing it might have something to do with the BILLIONS, if not TRILLIONS, of dollars in fraud that has been uncovered in federal small business contracting programs.
The Feds like to try and paint me as a conspiracy nut and claim that Fortune 500 firms have received hundreds of billions of dollars in federal small business contracts year after year as a result of miscoding, computer glitches and anomalies.
You tell me. If I'm a conspiracy nut and Fortune 500 firms have received up to a TRILLION dollars in federal small business contracts as a result of anomalies, why does the SBA need the most experienced cover-up PR hit man in Washington?
I say Commander Cover-Up Terry Sutherland's quiet takeover of the SBA Press Office is irrefutable proof that the Obama Administration is desperately trying to conceal the rampant fraud and abuse against the middle class that has been uncovered by federal investigators and numerous investigative reports in the mainstream media.
Obama's culture of rampant corruption...keeps escalating. Why is Obama allowed to stay in our White House?
Daine, simple answer, you have to have a great deal of proof and it has to be such that you can convince the Senate Democrats of this. The Houise brings the charges for impeachment but the Senate has to bring it to "trial" and they will never do that with Harry Reid where he is and Joe Biden as President of the Senate when they meet; the Democrats control the area that would actually have to deal with the trial aspect and just won't happen. The only hope for this is if the Republicans can take over the Senate and have control of both the Hoiues and the Senate. That is why Obama is so worried and has been putting so much time and effort into campaigning for the Democrats and why it is so important for us to take control of both. It isn't just to stop Obama's antics and control what he is doing, it is to start the process to hold him accountable for what he has been doing, the lies, etc. and that is by impeachment.
This is just one more example, he is epic fail when it comes to honorable and worthy of the people's respect and support.
Ted Cruz produced the "list" of Obama's many lawless bills....that's a good place to start LOL!
Diane, I went and read the actual report that was listed on the site of your article and OH MY GOSH is all I can say. I had no idea there were so many; 70 some, and people, you should go and read through it. It comes up as a PDF file and you scroll through the report (book form). It is amazing and Ted Cruz has done an excellent job.
As much as I would like to see him run for President one of these times, we need him right where he is for a few more years; he and Mike Lee and Trey Cowdry. I think, actually, that Rand Paul is better there, too. We need to retain the strong leadership that these men present in Congress as they will have a lot of work to do.

Ready Set GlowMarch 7th, 2016 | By Yanda
In 2009, Formula 1's Grand Prix descended on Singapore's shores, blazing in its wake, a flurry of glitz and glamour. To mark this momentous occasion, the Singapore Tourism Board initiated a book to highlight the roaring moments of the season.
From the 25,000 images presented to us to work with, emerged Ready Set Glow, The Formula That Lit Up Singapore. By translating the charged sensations of the nights into an energetic pictorial archive, the book unfolds chronologically with every glossy page capturing the sense of euphoria.
via http://www.couple.com.sg/2010/06/formula-one-book/
Glow-in-the-dark ink features on the cover. The book is also shaped tilting forward, impressing upon the reader a keener sense of the nocturnal high-speed race.

Turkey Eggs Benedict
Well if you are like us, you have ate your big meal for today and now wondering what to do with all the left-overs. I took my left-overs and created Turkey Eggs Benedict. This is an easy way to use up left-overs, but also enjoy turkey in a different style. You will use up some of your mashed sweet potatoes and turkey. This is great served with left-over cranberry salad.
You will notice in my recipe, the hollandaise sauce calls for egg yolks. I used the egg whites in the turkey patties. This will eliminate the waste of any eggs.

Cheaper bus fares
Jan 03, 2017
The already meager HSR subsidy for low-income riders will get less generous this year as fares rise again. While Hamilton was an early adopter of income-based fares, it is now falling further and further behind other Ontario municipalities.
Toronto and Ottawa made new commitments last month to help low-income passengers use their transit systems, and both London and Burlington are improving their subsidy programs this year. Others providing more fare support than the HSR include Waterloo, Guelph, Mississauga and Windsor.
To be eligible for Hamilton's "affordable transit pass program" residents have to be poorer than in other cities and have to pay substantially more for each monthly pass. Far fewer passes are provided here than elsewhere and only one other city requires users to be employed before getting the passes.
Most cities offer reduced fare to anyone who falls below the current "low income cut-off" (LICO) defined by Statistics Canada. But Hamilton requires even lower qualifying incomes by inexplicably using the 2006 LICO calculation that is now ten years out of date.
In London, for example, a single person with after tax income less than $16,723 is eligible. In Hamilton the cutoff is more than $800 higher. That means a single person earning minimum wage makes too much to qualify. The self-employed are not eligible at all, and since the only available pass is for a full month, it is of limited attraction to someone only working part-time.
A review of transit fare support programs across Ontario presented last month by city of London staff found "the purchase price for the monthly pass remains close to $40 in all cases." They said "municipalities told us that based on their experience, this is a 'tipping point' of affordability for those experiencing low-income. That is, if the pass is more than $40.00, people are unable to afford to pay for it."
The HSR "affordable pass" is currently over $50 and will rise in September when fares jump another 10 cents. That increase will also mean available passes will drop to less than 340 per month because the budget for the program is frozen.
London's research found far more available passes in other cities – 2300 in Guelph and 1750 in Waterloo. Even Windsor which has less than half the population of Hamilton delivers 465 low-income passes per month.
The city's 2017 draft operating budget shows no financial improvements in the HSR affordable transit pass system. The annual amount dedicated to low-income passes remains at the $214,000 level set in 2008.
A major improvement in Halton's affordable transit system last September allows low-income residents of Burlington, Oakville and Milton to purchase strips of 10 to 20 tickets at half price, instead of the discount being limited to full monthly passes. This means part-time workers and other less frequent bus riders can now take advantage of the lower fares.
Toronto staff note that because they often can't afford a monthly "most of working-age, low-income residents pay per ride and end-up spending more on transit that everyone else". So that city plans to discount single fares and not just monthly passes. Toronto's new program starting in 2018 will also include all those who make up to 15 percent more than the current LICO.
London is moving to combine its senior discounts with the low income ones. That will eliminate the 25 percent discount currently provided to their seniors but offer a subsidized pass for all who qualify as low income. In Hamilton, seniors currently pay $26.50 for a monthly HSR pass – almost exactly half what is charged for the low-income pass.Research indicates that lower transit fares have multiple benefits including "improved access to education, employment, and therefore increasing economic productivity, plus improving healthcare access, and resulting reductions in the costs of providing public services".

A Cocoa Comeback in Latin America
Cocoa from Latin America is making a comeback, at least according to a report in Confectionary News. It is often forgotten that Latin American cocoa dominated the world market until the early years of the twentieth century. After the Spanish colonizers brought cocoa to Spain and from there is quickly spread to the rest of Europe. But once industrialization made the production of chocolate bars possible and affordable, demand for cocoa expanded to levels that Latin American was not able to supply.
The spread of cocoa production followed a pattern first discussed by Francois Ruf, a French agronomist, who hypothesized that cocoa production depends on access to virgin forest land. He coined the phrase "forest rent" to explain that a new cocoa grove on new forest land is initially extremely productive and produces very high yields. As the trees near their life expectancy or are attacked by disease or pests, the yields decline, sometimes precipitously. Replanting in an existing cocoa grove never yields as good a return as planting in new forest lands. So productivity depends on capitalizing on the "forest rent" derived from previously untouched forests. Increase demand, therefore, over time leads to an expansion of cocoa production to areas that support the tree. As long as there was enough forest land available, there was no problem, but eventually, that expansion came to an end. The move to Africa in the mid 1800s is in part explained by the need for more forest land.
The reason behind the current Latin American cocoa renaissance is the growing demand for organic and single origin cocoa beans. Apparently, Europeans and Americans have become cocoa conaisseurs and can tell an Ecuadorian Arriba bean from a Venezualen Chuao bean. The perennial winner of chocolate contests, Amedei, buys all the beans produced on the Chuao peninsula of Venezuela. Others try to get equally exclusive deals with other important growing areas. Yet others are combing the various country sides to find old groves that had been abandoned in earlier times in the hopes of scoring big with an even more exclusive chocolate bar. At the New York chocolate show in 2006, I even saw a bar made from "wild" cocoa beans. I wonder how many of those there are.
The biggest factor, though, is the demand for organic cocoa beans and here the greater Caribbean has a great advantage. Since most of the cocoa here is grown by relatively small estates who have long been too poor to afford pesticides and fertilizer, getting an organic certification is relatively simple. That was one of the factors that has made the Dominican Republic is the largest producer of organic cocoa beans.
But the organic output is still only a miniscule fraction of the total world production (0.5% according to the ICCO). So the increased prices commanded by some Caribbean cocoa (up to $9,000/ton for Chuao cocoa beans, for example) benefit only a very small segment of cocoa growers.
For African countries who produce the bulk of the world's cocoa, the fear of loosing a significant part of their crop due to pests or diseases is the main obstacles to growing organic cocoa. If thirty percent of your export earnings depend on cocoa, going organic seems like a big gamble. In  Ghana, the COCOBOD hires sprayer gangs who spray all cocoa groves. In my conversations with the folks at the Kuapa Kokoo, I learned just how difficult it is to grow organic cocoa in Ghana. First you have to convince the cocoa board. Then you have to take your own risk. If your entire livelihood depends on each year's production, the transition to organic is very difficult. Certification requires a three year hiatus in the use of chemicals before the certification is granted. During those three years, the farmer does not benefit from the organic premium but runs the increased risk of loosing a good part of the crop.
Right now, Latin American, especially the Caribbean, benefits from a century of neglect that has allowed the groves and forests to recover. I wonder, though, if this boom in exotic beans is sustainable in the long run.

Thought the NBA was going to go into a bit of a lull after the Warriors won the rubber match against Cleveland? Yeah, right.
The NBA world rarely stays quiet for long and ahead of Thursday's draft, the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers pulled off a rare pre-draft mega-deal.
The Sixers move up and will surely select Washington point guard Markelle Fultz with the top pick, the Celtics get the No. 3 pick and a future first-rounder, either via the Los Angeles Lakers next summer, or Sacramento in 2019.
This is a move that will have a ripple effect around the league, especially in the Atlantic Division, which includes the Raptors.
For Philadelphia and new boss Bryan Colangelo, it finally feels like the culmination of The Process, started years ago by the deposed Sam Hinkie (and how incredible is it that Hinkie basically got the Sixers Fultz in exchange for Michael Carter-Williams, who is now a non-factor, and a future first?). Last year's top pick Ben Simmons will be surrounded by a perfect complementary piece in Fultz, an athletic lead guard who can shoot, pass and defend, as well as Joel Embiid (assuming he can finally stay healthy), arguably the best player of his own draft class, Dario Saric and other pieces and future picks. In time, and with good health, this could be a special group, with three of the brightest talents in the entire NBA on the same squad.
For Boston, this feels like a foolish gamble. As if Danny Ainge has morphed into the dragon Smaug from the Lord of the Rings, hoarding over his golden war chest, always looking to add more.
Why not just take Fultz? The math has been pretty simple over the years: The best way to compete for a championship is to land a generational talent or two and the best way to do that is to have the good fortune of picking first in the draft in a good year.
Maybe the Celtics land a similar standout at three and hit on that future pick. Or maybe, as the rumour mill indicates, they'll use the nice bonus pick as part of a package to land an existing star (like Jimmy Butler, of Chicago, or Paul George of Indiana).
This also avoids the team needing to figure out whether Fultz and fellow Washington product, all-star point guard Isaiah Thomas, would be able to co-exist. Instead of awkwardly playing them together or even moving on without an All-NBA player who led the league in fourth-quarter scoring, the Celtics can max out Thomas and add other pieces (Gordon Hayward or Blake Griffin are the rumoured targets), staying competitive now, while maintaining future flexibility.
Boston's collection of future first-rounders is now bordering on comical. The team has the No. 3 pick this year, Brooklyn's first next season (the Nets could well be the NBA's worst team again), potentially the Los Angeles first (and the Lakers likely stink again too), 2019 firsts from the Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies (and from Sacramento if the Lakers pick doesn't come their way in 2018).
This is a franchise that has made a splash, but still has plenty of pieces to take further dives into the pool.
Meanwhile, Toronto has to be happy with the move. Rival Boston declines to add the player considered the premier talent in the draft (with many pundits ranking Fultz far ahead of the rest of the class) and commits to Thomas, who is defensively challenged, which can hamstring the Celtics in the playoffs.
As well, one of the few potential landing spots for top Raptor Kyle Lowry now appears to be out of the mix. Yes, Philadelphia is home for Lowry and the team, which has many huge Lowry fans in its braintrust, has the cash to sign him and is now closer to being competitive than it has been in years, but Fultz plays his position. Age-wise, Lowry doesn't fit there.
Deals of this magnitude, involving the No. 1 overall selection, are rare. Most recently, Cleveland drafted Andrew Wiggins in 2014, but moved him with Anthony Bennett (also a Canadian-born, top pick) to Minnesota for Kevin Love under the orders of LeBron James once he returned to Cleveland a month or so later.
Back in 1993, it wasn't clear if Shaquille O'Neal and Chris Webber could co-exist in a frontcourt (and Shaq was a big fan of Penny Hardaway), so No. 1 Webber switched hats with No. 3 Hardaway and Orlando also received three future first-round picks.
In 1986, Philadelphia moved the No. 1 selection (Brad Daugherty, who made five all-star appearances in eight seasons) for veteran Roy Hinson, who didn't move the needle, and cash.
It also happened a couple of times in the 1950s (including a Bill Sharman heist by the Celtics), but the most famous iteration of this type of deal came in 1980, when Boston sent the top pick, Joe Barry Carroll, to Golden State for No. 3 (Kevin McHale) and Robert Parish, who both went on to become members of the Hall of Fame.
It will take some time before we can determine whether Boston has once again cleaned up, but the betting here is that Philadelphia won't regret landing Fultz, despite the cost.

Modern Desert Scapes
Our Modern Desert designs continue to utilize Xeriscape techniques and principles with a focus on cleaner, often geometrical lines, sparse planting, rocky hardscapes with boulders, and a heavier use of cacti, yuccas, and agaves. These upscale designs reflect the solitude gained from being in open spaces. Think Marfa, Texas – Big Bend National Park, cold beer, and clear water. Explore.
Texas Hill Country Wildscapes
The Texas Hill Country embodies the paradox of soft lines within a rugged terrain. Our Texas Hill County Wildscapes further promote our xeriscape principles by utilizing Texas Natives and Adapted plants that have earned their drought-tolerant, watershed friendly, and hardy identity. We design with softer organic lines with all season colorful bursts. Often denser foliage, this design lends itself to butterfly habitats, banjo pickin', and barbecuing. Think Wimberley, Texas or the Barton Springs Greenbelt – transcendent live oaks, a lush and sustainable underbrush, and swimming. Take a peek.
Austin Native Landscaping Custom Designs
Our custom and thorough designs are input and created after our initial meeting with a client. We utilize a wonderful program to bring you a beautiful design in an attractive format that is easy to understand as well as intuitive. Please visit our Design Portfolio to get an idea of the quality of work that we put in even before the install. If you would like to set up an appointment, please contact us to schedule.

After Central Texas experienced the worst drought in recorded history in 2011, I felt the need to do something different with my yard. I did not want to waste water trying to make my lawn grow in a climate that was not well suited for it. Texas Native plants were the logical solution and I started investigating landscapers who could help me design a more natural environment.

Judy Austin
Austin Native Landscaping really helped us to achieve the ideal xeriscape for our front yard – it met our needs in terms of drought resistant and deer resistant plants, overall design and aesthetic. Following our free estimate, Reed drew up a design plan for us and he worked with us to modify it three times so we could have exactly what we wanted. Once they started working, they worked for four solid days (even in the rain) and left us with a wonderful end result.
Thanks so much Reed and team! We can't wait to watch our plants grow and blossom!
Janet Westlake, Austin
I recently build a new home, and when the house was complete I had no landscaping whatsoever – just had a big mess! I hired the guys at Austin Native Landscaping to first do some brush clearing. They showed up on time, were very polite and professional, and did an excellent job. I later used them to install landscape edging, a crushed granite driveway, and lay sod. They did all these tasks wonderfully and professionally with little guidance.

I couldn't have asked for a better landscaper. I have had many. No one has worked faster nor have they had a better vision. They were easy to work with and amazing problem solvers. I expect my garden will be on a garden tour in the near future. They gave me exactly what I wanted and completed it on time. You can not make a mistake if you decide to hire Austin Native Landscaping. You will be so glad you did.
The cost was extremely reasonable. The outcome was spectacular.
Oded South Austin
I own an investment property in Austin that is heavily landscaped. I had a hard time finding someone reliable and honest to complete the necessary bi-annual maintenance on the yard, until I found Reed. Reed has done a wonderful job on the yard, keeping it beautiful and healthy. He is reasonably priced and always upfront about what the costs are, and what I get for the price.
I would recommend Reed to anybody I know who needs landscape work in the Austin area.

Our law firm was in desperate need of a clean and professional landscaping design that incorporated local, drought-resistant plants with color and diversity.

They are extremely knowledgeable and their bids were both beautiful. They are also very reasonably priced. Thanks again!

I am getting ready to put my house on the market and needed to do some landscaping work. I didn't have a big budget and didn't have a sprinkler system. It made sense to do Xeriscaping and I contacted Reed & the guys at Austin Native Landscaping. Reed put together a plan that fit into the budget and he installed many native grasses, plants, stones, crushed granite & mulch. The transformation has been incredible and all of my neighbors have complimented the work.

We live in Dripping Springs with close to two acres of land. Several issues confront property owners in this area who wish to have attractive landscaped yards: deer, drought conditions with only a well for water, and rocks, rocks and more rocks.

Shelley and Chris McCarthy North Austin
We have lived in our house for 17 years and became increasingly frustrated with trying to maintain our St. Augustine yard. Reed and his team at Austin Native Landscaping totally transformed our yard – they just completed work yesterday and already several neighbors have complimented us on our beautifully landscaped front yard. From start to finish, Reed was professional and worked with us every step at the way, from the design concept to the finished product.
He was open to modifications as the work progressed and he and his team worked hard on our landscaping every day until it was finished. I cannot recommend Austin Native Landscaping enough and plan to use them again soon on our backyard.
Beardsley Household North Austin
One of the things we loved about the house we purchased four years ago was the shade brought by three large live oaks in the front lawn. We didn't realize, however, until we first raked it that the leaves on the ground were actually inches thick from years of not raking by the previous occupant, thus killing the lawn under it. So, by our first summer we saw that we had a dust bowl in the front yard, that would not grow grass because of the shade and the water guzzling of the oaks. So after a few years of embarrassment over the state of our lawn, and concern about the amount of water we were dumping on the ground to maintain what little grass we had and trying to get more to grow, I found Austin Native Landscaping.

Janis and Evan North Austin
After 25 years of looking the other way when came in from the driveway, to avoid the sight of our sad-looking front yard, we decided to look for someone to work with us on a xeriscape solution–both because we thought it was the responsible way to go in Texas and because we knew we would never have the time or impulse to take care of our yard. After talking with several people, we met Reed and knew instantly this was the way to go. Read full testimonial…

I'll admit I was a bit skeptical about hiring someone to Xeriscape my yard at first. I figured it would be much too expensive and I didn't want myyard to look like the desert, filled with cow skulls and cacti.

The design proposals that these guys provided me were both affordable and filled with colorful blooming native flowers. Read full testimonial…
Cynthia Round Rock
My favorite spot is sitting at my kitchen table looking out at my new backyard landscape that Reed and his crew at Austin Native Landscaping created. Reed transformed my backyard from a flat eroded surface into a tiered, drought resistant, eye-catching landscape. He uses quality materials and knows which plants are suited to the climate and soil. Reed listened patiently to our concerns, likes and dislikes and never pressured us during any phase of the project and upon completion he and his crew left our property immaculate.
It's nice to know that quality workmanship still exists.
Christina South Austin
Reed and his team are wonderful. I had an idea of what I wanted to do in our yard, but wasn't exactly sure of how to do it or what plants to buy. They made some great suggestions and picked up everything I that I needed. The plants he picked out for our flower beds are very colorful and work well in the areas where they are planted.

College-intending students have completed key college-going steps, such as being accepted to college and applying for financial aid, and have concretely signaled their intention to enroll in college. Yet they don't take the steps necessary to transition successfully to college the fall after high school graduation.
Don't be a statistic, avoid the summer melt!
Harvard University's Strategic Data Project suggests taking the following nine steps over the summer to ensure enrollment in the fall. Read more.

American Idol judges Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez looked shocked and upset when host Ryan Seacrest announced the elimination of James Durbin, who was their favourite. And when it was time for the 22-year-old singer to pack off, Jennifer Lopez couldn"t hold back her tears.
Jennifer Lopez was in tears as she bid adieu to James Durbin, giving him a standing ovation. James was also in tears as he said, "Man, I worked so damn hard to get here. And ... God, I was really hoping to get there, but I had a feeling today. ... I did so much stuff that's never been done on this show before. ... In my eyes, in my mind and what I believe is that I did what I came here to do, and that was to give metal a chance."
He took to the stage one last time by singing Paul Mccartney's track "Maybe I'm Amazed". He thanked the audience for being so good to him. His departure has now left Scott McCreery, Lauren Alaina and Haley Reinhart in the fray for the American Idol title.

Navigating and Networking at the Conference

90th Annual International Conference Proceedings - 2005 - San Antonio, TX
The increasing complex fragmented business process, demand for speed, and pressures for cost control forced on us by the changing world situation reinforce the importance of better relationships throughout supply management processes. Similarly, rapid economic development, demand for increases in quality and performance, changing political attitudes, significantly improved communication systems, better transportation systems, trends toward economic integration and increasingly intense competition are tremendous social forces driving change in our supply management processes. These social economic changes will become even more important as we move on into the 21st century. This paper defines the process of networking and is my personal advice on how you can use networking during ISM's 90th International Supply Management Conference as a great career building opportunity for you.

Does your t.v. Have to be wireless. I have a 54 in. Panasonic .flatscreen..However, it is not wireless capable. If not, what cables do I need .
- Asked by Richard C from Bronx
1 Answer from the Community
No - but the TV must have an HDMI input socket available to plug the appleTV into. The apple TV box has to be connected to your WI-FI network - not the TV.
So you need to remember to buy an HDMI cable when you buy an appleTV box.
Hope this helps. Happy Holidays!

It's Sunday morning. Want a beer?
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport will soon accommodate those who do.
By a unanimous vote Tuesday, the County Commission moved towards eliminating what's increasingly becoming a relic of the past: the so-called "blue laws'' banning alcohol sales on Sunday mornings.
While many are in a house of worship on the Sabbath day, travelers at the airport are sidling up to the bar stool, hankering for alcohol, airport officials said.
"They're asking for it,'' said Aviation Director Kent George, adding that he personally doesn't imbibe on Sunday morning.
The pent-up thirst for booze is so strong, George's staff predicted that alcohol sellers at FLL airport would do a half-million dollars in new sales a year, just by starting at 8 a.m. on Sundays instead of noon.
Commissioners voted to have an ordinance drafted to open the bars earlier on Sundays, and they'll vote again in the near future to formally approve it. But Tuesday, there was already a buzz to approve it.
"I'm very much in support of moving it back to 8 a.m.,'' said Commissioner Marty Kiar, who at age 36 is the youngest county commissioner. "Why can't it just be 24 hours a day?''
Blue laws have been prevalent in America for years. But somehow, the airports in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties managed to adopt the bartender-friendly Sunday sales policies even before the airport in "Fort Liquordale.''

With everything HydroVision International 2013 has to offer, navigating the world's largest hydroelectric power event might seem overwhelming.
Official media partners Hydro Review, HRW-Hydro Review Worldwide and HydroWorld.com have made it easier for attendees to get the most out of their visits to Denver, however, by introducing a companion app for Android and Apple iOS devices.
The app is free and available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
The HydroVision International 2013 information is an addition to the Hydro Review news app, though users must update their apps in order to access the new section.
Once updated, users will notice a new icon in the upper right-hand portion of the screen that says "Events", which will open the new HydroVision International 2013 material.
There, users will find an interactive floorplan, conference sessions, full information about every HydroVision exhibitor, details about co-located events, product listings and more.
"The app is a great tool for HydroVision newcomers and veterans alike," HydroWorld.com editor Michael Harris said. "It has all the information included in the printed conference guide, but allows users to access it in a faster, more intuitive way."
The mobile app also integrates social media feeds, giving HydroVision International 2013 attendees an all new way of networking.
"The app pulls tweets marked '#HydroVisionIntl', making it a great way for exhibitors and speakers to let everyone know what they're doing while in Denver," Harris said.
This year's educational slate features hundreds of international hydropower industry experts spread across 70 panel discussions, three technical paper tracks and poster gallery. Meanwhile, the exhibition portion will showcase more than 300 companies and other organizations.
HydroVision International 2013 takes place July 23-26 at Denver's Colorado Convention Center.

We're back again with everyone's favorite music blog aggregator search engine music discovery game, hypem hunting! In case you haven't been paying attention, we pick a word, search for it on The Hype Machine, and then listen to a bunch of songs that we've never heard before that appear in the search results and then bring you our favorites that we discovered. This week, we once again turned to the twitter for some motivation on the word to search for, and our friend and fellow PCCer Kyle, partial proprietor of PCC blog Those Who Dig, was the first to respond with the word "clean". Even though we quickly learned that this was going to produce a myriad of "clean" versions of rap songs that we weren't necessarily particularly interested, we still dug through and found a bunch of really cool tracks to share with all of you. So without further ado, here's what we found.
What better way to start things out than a funky and synthy electronic instrumental track? This one is from BRASSICA aka London's Michael Wright and there are just so many great things about this track. It kind of sounds like it could be played during the closing credits of some sort of futuristic indie flick. Or like Tron Jr or something like that. It's a cool track. "Clean With Me" will be released as a 12″ in the next few weeks here in the states.
BRASSICA – Clean With Me
[via FEEL MY BICEP]
Next up is "Pollution Shampoo" from Coyote Clean Up, who just so happens to be from right here in the metro Detroit area! So that's pretty awesome. This tune is sort of like a hazy slowed down house track or something. I don't really know how to describe it, but I like it, and I didn't even know it was local when I decided that I liked it, so now I liked it even more.

[via rose quartz]
Here's another super awesome electronic track entitled "Clean Team" (not to be confused with CreamTeam that's not quite 8-bit, so maybe we'll call it 16-bit, from France's Debmaster. He released a free album last year entitled Grossmutter and the whole album can be downloaded for free right over here if you're digging what you hear. Pretty cool stuff if you ask me, which you didn't, but you didn't have to, cuz this is my website.
Debmaster – Clean Team
[via bomarr blog]
So, as it turns out, this week we didn't find a super old tune that we really liked as we normally do with this segment. BUT, we did find a tune from 2006 that sounds like it could have been wildly successful in the mid-80s new wave movement. Enter Sweden's Nicolas Makelberge (boy do I love some good Swedish music) and his tune "A Clean City" to save the day. We think this counts, because it's a super awesome tune that sounds like it could have been 20 years old (that's not a dig, I'm sure he did that on purpose). Either way, enjoy this tune until next week when we meet again.
Nicolas Makelberge – A Clean City
Until next time….

Chicago, IL (PressExposure) July 13, 2011 -- People who suffer from hair loss have many questions. There could be many reasons why a person is experiencing hair loss. Genetics is responsible for over 90% of all hair thinning, but unbalanced diets, stress, various diseases and obsessive hair pulling are also main causes for losing hair.
Over 70% will experience hair loss at some point during their lives and will have to decide how to deal with it.
Being a part of this majority usually means having many questions. The need to solve this problem starts with the first signs of hair thinning and goes on even after a person has shed his last hair.
Hair loss treatments include a huge number of home remedies, medical procedures, technologically advanced methods and natural cures. This variety often confuses the person who is looking for a simple, straight answer to "what is causing my hair loss?" and "what can I do about it?".
A new free service comes to answer these questions and provides hair loss, baldness and hair care advice, using the familiar structure of the popular Yahoo!Answers site: Expert advice and real answers to visitors questions.
With 57% of the human population having a genetic tendency towards baldness, 25% of men losing hair during their early 20 and women suffering from hormonal changes and hair thinning as a result, there is a need for quick, helpful answers.
Hair Loss Answer Hub allows you to search its database for answers on hair related issues, or open a free account and submit your own question.
Different people need to use different techniques, treatments or medication to manage and prevent their hair loss problem.
While there are many forums that discuss different conditions of hair loss, HairLossAnswerHub is the only hair loss questions and answers site, where you can find answers quickly and get advice for free.

Earlier this week Shan showed off her tantalizing tequila lime cookies. Lime, coarse salt and booze – not exactly a "wash down with milk" kind of treat. If you went through all the trouble of making cookies (and there's a tequila bottle open) you deserve a cocktail, at least that's the rule in my limited baking kitchen.
I am somewhat of a margarita snob (I know, so pretentious). Honestly what I thought was so yummy back in my early 20s I have come to realize is a very generic version of what a margarita should taste like. Many are far too sweet with artificial lime flavor – a true margarita should be light, refreshing and above all FRESH. I love this recipe because it not only gives homage to an authentic margarita but it adds the perfect twist of cilantro and jalapeno (don't be scared, it only adds a touch of heat).
recipe inspired by today's nest
Margaritas are of course especially yummy on a warm day, but fire up a mexican feast and they become a year round concoction. This gets me thinking… we already have the cookies and Cinco De Mayo is just around the corner, seems like we may need to post something in the form of a taco. Maybe, we'll think about it.
Adiòs for now…


text: Hi there. I have recently kicked out my 24 year old daughter from my home. She has been stealing from her family since she was 5. She is unemployed and a dope smoker. She hasnt worked longer than a few weeks since she left school at 17. Recently $20,000 worth of our jewellry was stolen, which she denied. I found a bag with over $5000 worth of my jewellry in her bedroom. I went to the police. They couldnt charge her because technically it was still on my property. I have given her so many chances. When she was a teenager we arranged counselling for her 'stealing problem'. Her father kicked her out of his home when she was 17 for bullying and stealing $350. We adopted her when she was 3. I have also withdrawn all future financial support to her. I am an emotional wreck about this.

The War in Mali and AFRICOM's Agenda: Target China
Global Research, February 10, 2013
Region: sub-Saharan Africa
Theme: 9/11 & 'War on Terrorism', Oil and Energy, US NATO War Agenda
Part I: Africa's New Thirty Years' War?
Mali at first glance seems a most unlikely place for the NATO powers, led by a neo-colonialist French government of Socialist President Francois Hollande (and quietly backed to the hilt by the Obama Administration), to launch what is being called by some a new Thirty Years' War Against Terrorism.
Mali, with a population of some 12 million, and a landmass three and a half times the size of Germany, is a land-locked largely Saharan Desert country in the center of western Africa, bordered by Algeria to its north, Mauritania to its west, Senegal, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Niger to its southern part. People I know who have spent time there before the recent US-led efforts at destabilization called it one of the most peaceful and beautiful places on earth, the home of Timbuktu. Its people are some ninety percent Muslim of varying persuasions. It has a rural subsistence agriculture and adult illiteracy of nearly 50%. Yet this country is suddenly the center of a new global "war on terror."
On January 20 Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron announced his country's curious resolve to dedicate itself to deal with "the terrorism threat" in Mali and north Africa. Cameron declared, "It will require a response that is about years, even decades, rather than months, and it requires a response that…has an absolutely iron resolve…" [1] Britain in its colonial heyday never had a stake in Mali. Until it won independence in 1960, Mali was a French colony.
On January 11, after more than a year of behind-the-scenes pressure on the neighboring Algeria to get them entangled in an invasion of its neighbor Mali, Hollande decided to make a direct French military intervention with US backing. His government launched air strikes in the rebel-held north of Mali against a fanatical Salafist band of jihadist cutthroats calling itself Al-Qaeda in the Islamic-Mahgreb (AQIM). The pretext for the seemingly swift French action was a military move by a tiny group of Islamic Jihadists of the Tuareg people, Asnar Dine, affiliated with the larger AQIM. On January 10 Asnar Dine – backed by other Islamist groups – attacked the southern town of Konna. That marked the first time since the Tuareg rebellion in early 2012 that Jihadist rebels moved out of traditional Tuareg territory in the northern desert to spread Islamic law to the south of Mali.
As French journalist Thierry Meyssan noted, French forces were remarkably well prepared: "The transitional President, Dioncounda Traore, declared a state of emergency and called to France for help. Paris intervened within hours to prevent the fall of the capital, Bamako. Far-sightedly, the Elysée had already pre-positioned in Mali troops from the 1st Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment ("the Colonials") and the 13th Parachute Dragoon Regiment, helicopters from the COS (Special Operations Command), three Mirage 2000D's, two Mirage F-1's, three C135's, a C130 Hercules and a C160 Transall." [2] What a convenient coincidence.
By January 21 US Air Force transport planes began delivering hundreds of French elite soldiers and military equipment to Mali, ostensibly to roll back what we were told was an out-of-control terrorist advance south towards the Mali capital. [3] French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told media the number of its 'boots on the ground' in Mali had reached 2,000, adding that "around 4,000 troops will be mobilized for this operation," in Mali and outside bases. [4]
But there are strong indications the French agenda in Mali is anything but humanitarian. In a France 5 TV interview, Le Drian carelessly admitted, "The goal is the total reconquest of Mali. We will not leave any pockets." And President Francois Hollande said French troops would remain in the region long enough "to defeat terrorism." The United States, Canada, Britain, Belgium, Germany and Denmark have all said they would support the French operation against Mali. [5]
Mali itself, like much of Africa is rich in raw materials. It has large reserves of gold, uranium and most recently, though western oil companies try to hide it, of oil, lots of oil. The French preferred to ignore Mali's vast resources, keeping it a poor subsistence agriculture country. Under the deposed democratically-elected President Amadou Toumani Toure, for the first time the government initiated a systematic mapping of the vast wealth under its soil. According to Mamadou Igor Diarra, previous mining minister, Malian soil contains copper, uranium, phosphate, bauxite, gems and in particular, a large percentage of gold in addition to oil and gas. Thus, Mali is one of the countries in the world with the most raw materials. With its gold mining, the country is already one of the leading exploiters directly behind South Africa and Ghana. [6] Two thirds of France's electricity is from nuclear power and sources of new uranium are essential. Presently, France draws significant uranium imports from neighboring Niger.
Now the picture gets a little complex.
Billionaire Burglar Breaks into Obama's Cabinet
Pinch-Penny Pritzker pockets Commerce post
By Greg Palast for Truth-out
Wednesday, 13. February 2013
A parade of media reports this week name Penny Pritzker as Obama's prime choice for Secretary of Commerce. No longer will criminal bankers have to lobby the administration - because now they'll have one of their own in the Cabinet.
We never heard of this guy Barack Obama until 2004. Less than three years before taking the presidency, he was in the Illinois state senate, a swamp of scammers, backhanders, and party machine tools - not a stellar launch pad for the White House. And then, one day, state Sen. Barack Obama was visited by his fairy godmother. Her name is Penny Pritzker.
Penny's from Heaven?
Pritzger's net worth is listed in Forbes as $1.8 billion, which is one hell of a heavy magic wand in the world of politics. Her wand would have been heavier, and her net worth higher, except that in 2001, the federal government fined her and her family $460 million for the predatory, deceitful, racist tactics and practices of Superior, the bank-and-loan-shark operation she ran on the South Side of Chicago.
Superior was the first of the deregulated go-go banks to go bust - at the time, the costliest failure ever. US taxpayers lost nearly half a billion dollars. Superior's depositors lost millions and poor folk in Sen. Obama's South Side district lost their homes.
Penny did not like paying $460 million. No, not one bit. What she needed was someone to give her Hope and Change. She hoped someone would change the banking regulators so she could get away with this crap.
