UKIP and Farage Seize on Osborne Immigration Revelations - Guido Fawkes Guido Fawkes. Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 - Wikipedia. The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (c.23) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that protects whistleblowers from detrimental treatment by their employer.
Influenced by various financial scandals and accidents, along with the report of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, the bill was introduced to Parliament by Richard Shepherd and given government support, on the condition that it become an amendment to the Employment Rights Act 1996. After receiving the Royal Assent on 2 July 1998, the Act came into force on 2 July 1999. It protects employees who make disclosures of certain types of information, including evidence of illegal activity or damage to the environment, from retribution from their employers, such as dismissal or being passed over for promotion.
In cases where such retribution takes place the employee may bring a case before an employment tribunal, which can award compensation. Complaints about an MP – w4mp. There are two organisations which deal with complaints about Members of Parliament: The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards will investigate allegations that an MP has broken the Code of Conduct and the rules associated with it.
These include for example rules about: She will not investigate complaints about: policy matters; an MP's views or opinions; an MP's handling of or decision about constituency cases and correspondence at any stage; (A local MP will generally do as much as they can to help a constituent, but (s)he is not obliged to take up every matter that is brought to their attention);the conduct of an MP's wider public life, unless the MP's conduct has caused serious damage to the reputation of the House of Commons as a whole or of MPs more generally.

Tata v Sengar Judgment. 0123419. Texas engineer, whose wife sent Obama his résumé, still unemployed. FORT WORTH — More than two months after President Barack Obama asked for Darin Wedel's résumé, the phone is quiet, e-mails are no longer flooding in and the long-sought-after job interviews -- which had begun to be scheduled -- have petered out.
"Not even recruiting companies are calling anymore," said Jennifer Wedel, the Fort Worth mother of two who chatted online this year with Obama about her out-of-work husband. She says his job search has been hurt by a program to hire skilled foreign workers. It's been more than three years since Darin Wedel lost his job as a semiconductor engineer at Texas Instruments. Jennifer Wedel to Barack Obama: 'Why Doesn't my Husband Have a Job?'
An alarmingly large amount of Republican voters in Mississippi and Alabama believe President Barack Obama is Muslim, according to a new poll.
The spectre of unemployment is often one of the most feared in an adult's life. The grim reality of a rapidly depleting bank balance is usually one matched by the alarming levels of depression that characterise an entire household. The parents and the children start skimping and saving... looking to save a few pounds here and a few pounds there... maybe even buying goods marginally past their expiry dates... refraining from spending excessively even on the most basic goods... it is not a pretty sight.
According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (adjusted till Jan. 17), the current rate of unemployment in North America is roughly 8.3 percent; this translates into a figure marginally above 13 million. In such bleak times, who does one call out to for a job? Jennifer Wedel, however, went straight to the top... she asked U.S. Buy mimoLive. FOI 3181 35191 Response 2015 05 22v1.0. Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner. Confronting the Parasite Economy. There are two types of businesses in America today: those that pay their workers a living wage—the real economy—and those that don't—the parasite economy.
And all of us who live and work in the real economy should be royally pissed at the way the parasite economy is sucking us dry. Here in the real economy, we solve the problems, build the things, and pay the wages that make America great. When politicians of both parties promise to attract "good jobs" to their districts or states, they're talking about the kind of real-economy jobs that pay a decent middle-class wage—jobs that provide the income, benefits, and security necessary to participate robustly in the economy as a consumer and taxpayer. It is the real economy that drives both production and demand, and that fills our tax coffers with the money needed to educate our children, maintain our infrastructure, invest in research and development, fund our social safety net, and provide for the national defense.

Another Writing Concerning Elders

(This was a written response to question posed by a friend concerning elders. It is by no means exhaustive nor does it answer the debate about a woman becoming an elder.)
Premise: You can have a church without deacons but you cannot have a church without elders.
Wow! Make a statement like that at most places and you will probably get mugged trying to get out the back door. The dickens you say no deacons. The church would never go for it. As a matter of fact, they are more likely to add to the "deacon board" before they even consider adding one elder. But why has it come to this? I like to think the answer lies either in ignorance (don't know) or arrogance (don't care). If you are reading this, you can never claim ignorance.
The New Testament mentions only two offices in the local church – elders and deacons. The qualifications for these offices are clearly outlined in 1Timothy 3:1 – 13. That is not to say church that has ministry leaders or servant leaders of various ministries is wrong. It simply means that the overall leadership of the church should recognize two bodies – first elders, second deacons. The New Testament's use of the word elder does not refer to a senior citizen. The Greek word is presbuteros. It is also interchanged with the word bishop (episkopos – epi "over" skopos "seer") or overseer as seen in Acts 20:17 and 28. An overseer shepherds the church. Many use the term pastor. I like how Dr. G. Harry Leafe puts it, "Elder is the title, overseer is the function." Notice how in Acts 14:23, Paul and Barnabas appointed elders, not deacons in the churches. Paul sent Titus to Crete to appoint elders (Titus 1:5), not deacons. Even John wrote to the angels or messengers of the seven churches in Revelation 2 – 3. I acknowledge there is much debate what angels means in this passage, but I believe those angels or messengers are the top human elder (man never wrote to heavenly beings), or what some call the senior pastor. But notice he did not write to the deacons. The only church of that seven that had an accompanying epistle was the Ephesian church. You may have noticed that in Ephesians, the words deacon or servant, are not mentioned, but pastors (4:11) is. I surmise this church functioned with elders but no deacons. In 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, Paul wrote what are called the "pastoral epistles", but you will find there are no "deacon epistles."
You may have also noticed there is a plurality of elders. Those you call ministers in your church are really other pastors (elders). It is equally sad that most of these do not see themselves as elders. They continue to claim God called them to preach. The Bible teaches the Holy Spirit (I sure hope He did) appointed them as overseers (Acts 20:28), not just preachers. There is one more thing to stimulate your thinking. I mentioned "deacon board" earlier. You may be surprised to know there is no such animal in the New Testament. However, there is a board of elders (1 Timothy 3:14). So based on what we have uncovered, there are at a minimum, six churches that functioned with a board of elders only.
I do want to leave a word of caution. Lest you think I am belittling deacons, let me say nothing could be further from the truth. I was once a deacon. I have the utmost respect for anyone who desires to serve. Those who serve well have "a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus." According to Acts 6:1, there was a need in the body. Seven men were selected by the body (not the apostles) to minister to the needs of the body. Like others, I believe these men were deacons (diakonos, a servant). But look at 1 Timothy 3:8 – 13. The qualifications for a deacon are given, but have you noticed no specific function is mentioned? I believe it was clearly understood deacons were to serve the needs of the body. Today's culture has the deacons as the "pastor's helpers." How did it get this way? The Bible clearly teaches the elders are the "pastors' helpers" while the deacons are the "body's helpers."

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
I do not have a child, who for a week solid has complained of stomach aches ONLY AT BED TIME. If I had a child like this, they would never get out of bed smiling and laughing, tummy ache gone as soon as she was out of bed. Since I don't have a child like this, I would NEVER give said child a terrible tasting herb to "get rid of her belly ache." I would never suspect such antics to be only a ploy to get out of bed.
After I did not do the above mentioned act, the said child's siblings did not, in complete hysteria, nearly on the floor from laughter, tell me I was mean. They did not proceed to ask their sister if her belly still hurt, and if she needed some more medicine. Strangely, the medicine worked in record time. After only one minute her belly ache was completely cured, and a second dose was not needed.
After said child was in bed, my beloved did not ask, "Are you going to bottle and market a child's fake illness herb?" Seriously, he would know that there would be no market for such things.
While trying to write and edit a blog post this week, I did not in frustration let out a yell of complete frustration and anger. Truly, I think blogger is wonderful. Since I did not scream "Arrrrguh!!!" at the top of my lungs, my children could never, in unison, from the next room, yell ,"I HATE BLOGGER!" then collapse with laughter. Since I have NEVER lost my cool with blogger in the past, they would have no way of knowing what I was angry about.
I did not master the art of going to the bathroom standing up after a hour long session of body pump. After all, I am in such svelte physical condition that those 75+ squats had no effect on me whatsoever. So getting up and down from a sitting position..no problem. Therefore going to the bathroom was no problem at all.
I did not just post on my blog that I can now pee standing up, that would be so embarrassing.
After writing the above sentence I did not immediately think of my friend Shara, and her bathroom problems. Even as she reads this she is blushing, thinking, "I can't believe she told the world I have bathroom problems!" So I DO feel the need to clarify, that her problems consist only of the fact that she actually goes to the bathroom. Very touchy subject it is. I still feel the need to get her the book Everybody Pees.
Ahh, laughter. I needed some...and now I feel better indeed.

What a coincidence, I too can pee standing up! Yup, standing, sitting, laying down, this handy dandy diaper makes pee possible in any position.
I highly recommend them. ;)

Body Pump? Does this mean you switched over to that "other" gym? If you did, what do you think of it?
A couple of times in the past, I've tried doing the video, Buns of Steel, but after two days of not being able to get off of the toilet, because of all the stupid squats, I quit. So, if you continue on this insane regimen, please let me know EXACTLY how many days it takes to be able to pee normally again. Maybe I'll have incentive to do a bunch of squats and lunges again. But, until I know exactly how long I'd have to suffer this way, I think I'll just stick to what I'm doing.
PS, Shara pees? That is sooo shocking! I never knew she was that kind of girl!!!

Body Pump. Brutal. Did it last week and my triceps felt like elephants were hanging off them for the next 3 days.
Peeing standing up is a skill and one to be proud of for sure. Just think! Next time you go to UG you'll be able a pro at the squatty potty and peeing underneath your skirt on the side of the road....both very very important and noteworthy accomplishments.:)

November has been such a slow month at work, but it has allowed me to start on this new Doodleina series that I'm very excited about. The idea derived from an old digital painting I made a few years ago (which I called, "Shoulder Kiss") and I loved it so much that I wanted to make a series with my Doodleinas new look :) My Doodleinas have changed so much over the years and I feel that I've reached a point where I'm satisfied with their facial features. They're much more proportioned that's for sure! No more "big eyes syndrome" as I used to call it. Lol.
Currently working on 3/5 of my Doodleina babes and they're all looking gorgeous!
This is my Friday and I wouldn't have it any other way. ❤

I discovered this dish last year in a Chinese restaurant in Melbourne and became addicted to them, if you have not eaten this you MUST try, trust me!
Wonton is a type of dumpling commonly found in a number of Chinese cuisines. In Sichuan, semi-pentagonal wonton fold into a tight triangle, each
of the hypotenuse are pressed against the middle of opposite sides, creating an impression of crossed arms/hands. The sauce has red chili oil,
black vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil, a perfect mix! I recommend to make the chili oil a day in advance or at least a few hours before cooking
so you´ll get a bright red oil packed with flavor. It might seem difficult at first but it´s not, done in 1 hour! I like to prepare a large batch
and freeze the rest. You can boil them straight from the freezer. Give it a try!!
sichuan wontons in chili oil sauce
Makes: 30
- 300 gr minced pork
- 1 free-range egg
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Shao Hsing cooking wine ( a good substitute is dry sherry wine )
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 30 wonton wrappers ( the thinner, the better )
- 250 ml sunflower oil
- 1 bay leave
- 4 dry chilli pepper
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp of chilly flakes
- 4 tbsp chili oil
- 3 tbsp Chinkiang vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- In a bowl, mix sesame seeds and chili flakes.
- In a pan, add oil, bay leaves and peppers. Heat until very hot. Strain the oil onto the bowl with sesame seeds and chili flakes. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix all ingredients together.
- In a bowl, mix all wontons ingredients, stir until well combined. Refrigerate for 10 min.
- To assemble wontons, place 1 teaspoon of the pork mix in the middle of the wrapper. Use your finger to moisten the edge of the wrapper with a tiny bit of water. Fold one tip of the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle. Seal edges. Pull the two corners of the triangle together with a bit of water and pinch to seal it.
- Bring a pot of water to the boil and cook the wontons in batches for 4 minutes.
- Serve in a bowl, add a bit of the cooking water and cover with the sauce. ENJOOOOOOY!!!

Don't hide away inside just because it's a bit chilly. A brisk walk in the fresh air is good for the mind, body and soul - and family bonding
Auckland South is a beautiful place, full of rolling landscapes, beaches and inlets, and hills to climb. Even when the weather is bad, getting out for a walk is good. A 2014 report by the UK Ramblers Association and MacMillian Cancer Support found that walking for just 25 minutes a day could improve your health, saving over 37,000 lives a year and reducing the number of type 2 diabetes cases by 300,000. Meanwhile in California, scientists found that regular walking can reduce your risk of heart disease by 9.3%, compared to 4.5% for runners.
As well as your physical health, scientists at California State University have found great benefits for your emotional wellbeing too.
"People seem to be interested in walking as a health benefit, but here, we're seeing it's not just cardiovascular health and other kinds of physical health that are important, but psychological health as well," explains Professor Robert Thayer who lead the study. "The more a person walks has a very real and immediate psychological effect that an individual can experience every day."
What you need
Crowded House didn't sing about four seasons in one day for nothing. New Zealand is a changeable place weather-wise, especially in winter, so best be prepared even if you're just going for a light stroll. Make sure you have a back pack or comfortable bag to carry the following items in:
- a water bottle
- a waterproof jacket and/or umbrella
- healthy snacks
- a dry jumper, put it in a plastic bag in case it rains
Make sure you take a mobile phone if you have one, and your ATHop card or some spare change for the bus in case you get tired and don't want to walk home.
Where to go
Walking is about getting your arms and legs moving, and spending some quality time with your family, so don't feel you have to go anywhere special. You could just walk around the block after dinner. Here are some walks around Auckland South that could be fun.
Seaside Park, Otahuhu - At the end of Princess Street East you will find a playground. Park up for the start of the 2km loop with great views of Tamaki Estuary. There are picnic tables to enjoy your snack on a fine day.
Puhinui Reserve - A real local treasure, access this 200ha reserve via Prices Road. There are many different tracks to explore, with plenty of bird life, native plants and great views. There's even a cycle track if the kids want to take their bikes.
Wiri urban loop - Starting at the corner of Kerrs Road and Inverell Avenue, walk down Inverell behind Wiri Central School. Just before you reach the end on your left hand side is a footpath cut through to the reserve behind. Follow the path then turn right and walk the loop around the lake taking the footpath cut through to Trevor Hosken Drive. Head up toward Druces Road, turn left and keep walking until you reach Kerrs Road. Turn left again and walk back to the start. Why not talk to your kids about road safety on the way.
Games to play
Don't march in silence, get the fun flowing with these ideas!
Red car, blue car - great for an urban walk, one team spots the reds and the other spots the blues, the team with the most points at the end wins. Do trucks count? You decide! You could also ask older children to add up the number plate numbers on the cars they spot.
Sing a sign - get your children to spot a sign, read it, and then turn it into a song.
Eye spy - a family classic, see how creative you can get out in the reserves with native plants and birds.
Puddle splash - perfect for a rainy day. Dress in wet weather gear and jump between the puddles scoring points for each one you land in.
Walking is a great way to have fun, stay healthy and spend time with the whanau. Enjoy!

Ahead of their April 26 firehouse primary, the already-crowded Republican field features 9 contenders, who were required to formally file last week.
Of these, analysts say Del. Barbara Comstock emerges as the Republican establishment favorite, with the Virginia state delegate leading other candidates with choice endorsements and capturing media attention just across the Beltway.
Writing for the New Republic, a right-leaning publication, Mona Charen dubbed Comstock a "conservative winner" from which other conservative candidates could learn as women's issues remain on the radar for the 2014 midterm election.
"If conservatives want to win elections and not just preen about their ideological purity, they should study Comstock," she wrote, going on to call the state delegate a "conservative… any right-winger could desire – pro-free enterprise, pro-life, and pro-second amendment."
The New Republic fanfare helped raise Comstock's profile, but may have done little to sway the 10th district's tea party base, which -- like its national constituency -- remains bitterly opposed to Obama administration initiatives and skeptical of the more mainstream elements in the Republican Party.
One Washington Post story quoted several attendees from a Winchester Tea Party meeting with Comstock in February as calling the state delegate a "moderate" who "claimed to be a conservative."If Comstock or another candidate fails to win over social conservatives, it could mean more litmus tests, which critics say have only served to alienate independent voters and lose usually winnable elections for the Republican Party in recent years.
The divide is one that Democrats will likely use to bill the election as one more referendum on the rift between establishment Republicans and their grassroots base.
Their own field is smaller for the same congressional district that switched to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 2012, but already boasts an early edge in fundraising prowess.
According to OpenSecrets.org, Democrat John Foust, a Fairfax county supervisor, reported raising $217,487 in December last year, with more than $200,000 in cash on hand. His rival, attorney Richard Bolger, another Democratic challenger, emerged with $105,945 from the last quarter.
That could put both of the Democrats on track to raise as much by November as the retiring congressman, a seventeen-term incumbent who brought in more than $1 million to fend off challenges in 2012.
Even so, the congressional district could still favor a Republican candidate in 2014. Redistricting from the 2010 census stood to add more conservative-leaning districts to VA-10, and Wolf captured nearly 60 percent of the general election vote two years ago.
Both parties will officially nominate their candidates in April, with Democrats set to choose theirs at a convention. The filing deadline for Democratic candidates is March 11.

How to Design Great Furniture
In designing furniture, my goal is to always marry great design with heirloom quality. But, how do you accomplish that?
Now, design is a very subjective thing; everyone's tastes are different. However, you can incorporate your own style into your designs, but there are some guiding principles that you can follow to get there. Let's look at 5 simple design principles that you can use on your next furniture design. Have something to add? Let me know your design tips in the comments below.
5 "Do's" of Furniture Design
When I am designing a new piece, there are 5 main principles, or guidelines, that I try to follow. These help me come up with new and unique designs and push the limits of my skills.
Make it Functional
First and foremost, a piece of furniture needs to be functional. What would be the point of a table with a slanted top? You wouldn't be able to put anything on it without it sliding off. Think to yourself, "what is this piece intended to be used for?" and make sure your design solves the "problem" it was intended for. If you simply need a small table to put something on, maybe you don't need a drawer on it. However, maybe you are looking for someplace to store a couple books or magazines; add a shelf or a drawer. If it is not functional, it will not be used and will be a bad design.
Incorporate Visual Joinery
One way to step up your design game, and maybe your woodworking skills game is to incorporate joinery that you can see into your furniture design. For example, in the standing desk (pictured below), the design called for the desk to have two drawers (functional) so I knew I was basically going to build a box, but what way could I build that box to make it stand out? In this example, I used variably spaced through dovetail joints.
By using through dovetails, I was able to add a visually striking structural element to the build, instead of just using mitered corners or some kind of butt joint.
Another example of this is on this occasional table.
There are a few things going on here so I will explain each of them. First, you can see the half-blind dovetail joint holding these legs together. Again, a visually appealing joint, but one that is also very strong. Next, you will see the round pegs. The top of this piece is actually breadboarded into the legs. This breadboard joint functionally ensures the top stays flat and also adds rigidity to the piece to make sure it is strong. Lastly, the breadboard joint ensure that the top is allowed to expand and contract with seasonal movement. This leads me to the next design principle.
Always Think of Wood Movement
Wood moves. Probably not a shocker to you, but there are a ton of DIY projects I see out there that just do not follow good design principles with regards to wood movement. And, many times, ignoring wood movement leads to warped boards or worse, cracked boards.
Wood moves across its grain so you really need to be mindful of cross-grain joints; like the table above. The legs are crossing the grain of the top. If I had simply glued or screwed those joints together, the top would eventually develop a bow in it, warp the legs or just crack. None of it good.
You have to allow wood to expand and contract across its grain. So, if you have to use screws to attach something cross grain, such as securing a table top to the base, you want to use elongated, or widened holes. You want to make sure that the mechanical fastener has enough room to move when the wood moves. In the case of a breadboard joint, the only place the joint is glued is in the center of the board. The outer parts of the joint are not glued. In fact, the mortises for the outer joints are about a quarter inch wider than the tenon and the peg holes in the tenons are elongated, across the grain, so they can move back and forth.
As you can tell from the two furniture examples above, I like to incorporate the next design principle whenever possible.
Get Creative with Wood Choices
In furniture, wood is boss. Finding and selecting great pieces of wood, and the proper placement of those pieces, into your furniture is an absolute design game changer. For me, there are two main ways I like to get creative with wood choices.
Using Contrasting Woods
Using two wood species that contrast one another is a great way to set a piece off. Don't overdo it or it can look too gimmicky. In the table above, I combined walnut for the base with maple for the top. In this Shaker inspired table below, the top and base of the table are made out of cherry and the drawer front is made out of tiger maple.
As this cherry has darkened over time, it has really created a nice contrast with the tiger maple. The figure in the maple has matured over time as well and I really like combination. By the way, if you are looking for tips on finishing cherry and getting these rich colors, check out this blog post on Finishing Cherry Wood.
Use Exotic Woods
Just like using contrasting woods, incorporating some exotic woods into your design can really set it off. In this hanging cabinet below, the case is made out of some really nice ambrosia maple, but the door fronts really catch your eye and they are made out of zebra wood (also note the sliding dovetail joints in the casework; visual joinery).
Exotic wood is, of course, more expensive so you want to pick and choose where you use it, but it is a great way to make aspects of your design really sick out. Where can you incorporate some of these contrasting or exotic woods? Let's look at the last design principle for answers.
Draw It Out and Mock It Up
Whether you are a CAD wizard, or old school like me and use pencil and paper, getting your idea down on paper is a great way to go through your design. Now, this may seem super obvious, but by drawing your design, what you are also doing for yourself is getting a sense for how you are going to have to build the furniture. What pieces do you need to do first? How will it go together? There are so many things you will figure out from drawing your piece. In fact, the main thing you may learn is "will this design even work?".
Doing a mockup of your design can be a huge time and money saver in the long run. For example, I am in the process of building a custom desk that has some unique features the client wanted. I drew it out on paper and really struggled with how I was going to build it in such a way that I knew it would be sturdy and it would last. So, after drawing it, I got some cheap pine wood from the store and began to mock up the desk. I did all the joinery, dry fit it, everything. From that, I knew the design would work and had all of the machine setup I needed for when I built it "for real" with the much more costly cherry wood.
Designing great furniture can seem like a daunting task at first, but by following these five principles, hopefully you too can take your next furniture design to the next level. Have a different method for furniture design? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below. Also, if you find these principles useful, and you build a piece with one or more of these principles as your guide, I'd love to see it!

Is anyone else's summer blowing by like mine is? This has been the busiest season I've had in a long time - between moving two apartments (mine and my boyfriend's), planning my wedding, travel for work coming up, amidst all the usual summer craziness, I haven't had much time to craft (and most of my supplies are still in boxes right now) ... so my advice to you, if you're also really busy this summer, is to recycle a card design that you've already made before and loved! Since you've already done it, you don't have to spend time trying to come up with a new design, but you still get to destress with some fun inks and stamps - which often is exactly what we need when our lives are so busy.
Here is a photo of the card that I recreated based on an old favorite! Ink blending over stencils is one of my favorite things to do because you get an awesome, colorful background and you don't have to think too much about it - it will almost ALWAYS come out beautiful! The stencil I used today is from an older My Monthly Hero kit, and I also used a bunch of mini ink pads from previous kits - which shows that this works with dye inks too (not just Distress Inks), if you use a light hand!
The card was really easy to finish off by layering a vellum heart and a heat embossed birthday sentiment for this month's Birthday challenge.
Hope you enjoyed this recreated card, and thanks for stopping by today!

In $500M Suit, Trump Calls Univision's Boot Pretextual
MANHATTAN (CN) – Emphasizing that he has long been outspoken on illegal immigration, Donald Trump claims in a $500 million lawsuit that Univision dumped his Miss Universe pageant because its owner supports Hillary Clinton.
Trump's June 30 lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court comes five days after Univision decided to server ties with Miss Universe, a little more than a week after the tycoon announced on June 16 that he is running for president.
The Republican's campaign speech shocked many with its emphasis on what the lawsuit sanitizes as "calls for immigration reform."
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best; they're not sending you," Trump said. "They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
Univision, the largest Spanish-language television network in the United States, called the remarks "insulting" when it turned Trump's "you're fired" catch phrase around on him.
"At Univision, we see first-hand the work ethic, love for family, strong religious values and the important role Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans have had and will continue to have in building the future of our country," the broadcaster said in a June 25 statement. "We will not be airing the Miss USA pageant on July 12th or working on any other projects tied to the Trump Organization."
NBC followed suit on Monday in a statement denouncing Trump's "derogatory statements" and affirming the company's support for the "respect and dignity for all people."
Trump's lawsuit names both Univision and its president of programming Alberto Ciurana as defendants.
While the 17-page filing has not yet appeared in the public record, a leaked copy quickly found its way on the New York Post's Page Six and the gossip site Deadline Hollywood on the heels of an announcement by the Trump Organization.
With Macy's dropping Trump's clothing line on Wednesday, the litigation apparently has not scared other former partners of Trump from jumping ship.
Trump's lawsuit calls Univision's action a "thinly veiled attempt" by its owner Haim Saban to "suppress Mr. Trump's freedom of speech under the First Amendment as he begins to campaign for the nation's presidency and, in recent weeks, has dramatically risen in the polls while expressing critical views of Mrs. Clinton."
Citing the conservative National Review, Trump said that Saban donated $30.5 million to the Clinton Foundation at the time Hillary served as secretary of the U.S. State Department.
"Little else can explain Univision's decision to not only abandon its contractual relationship with MUO, but also, upon information and belief, pressure NBC to follow suit and cut longstanding ties with plaintiffs nearly two weeks after the statements were made," Trump's complaint states.
Pointing out that his rhetoric about Mexican immigrants is "nothing new," the face of "The Apprentice" notes that he made similar remarks four years ago on Fox News.
On March 30, 2011, Trump told Bill O'Reilly that Mexicans are "coming over and they're climbing over a fence, and there's nobody within 10 miles – and they're selling drugs all over the place, they're killing people all over the place – and we're not doing anything about it."
Trump even hedged his remarks similarly in that interview, he notes.
"You have some great, productive people — and then you have some total disasters that probably should be in prison," Trump told O'Reilly.
Trump claims that Univision breached a five-year agreement to broadcast the Miss USA, Miss Teen USA and Miss Universe competitions in the "United States (including Puerto Rico) and Canada."
He alleges that the broadcaster's announcement that it would not announce the pageant constitutes defamation because the company had no right to terminate their relationship and did not serve formal notice at that time.
The Donald also lashed out against Ciurana for posting "tasteless and defamatory" photos comparing Trump with alleged Charleston shooter Dylan Roof on his Instagram account on June 25.
"While Mr. Cuirana would later remove the defamatory post, the damage was already done: almost immediately, Mr. Ciurana's post was picked up by the media and became the subject of hundreds, if not thousands, of press articles, yet another example of Univision's dubious efforts to create a false narrative in an attempt to upset Mr. Trump's longstanding personal and business relationship with the Hispanic community," the complaint states.
In addition to breach of contract, Trump alleges bad faith, intentional interference with a contractual relationship and defamation. He is represented by Jeffrey Goldman with Belkin Burden Wenig & Goldman LLP.
Although Univision did not immediately respond to a request for comment, Politico quoted a spokesperson Tuesday as calling Trump's lawsuit "both factually false and legally ridiculous."
"Our decision to end our business relationship with Mr. Trump was influenced solely by our responsibility to speak up for the community we serve," the spokesperson reportedly said.

Selling Your House – Photo Appeal
We recently sold our home. It was quite an adventure! For the next few Mondays I'll be posting about the experience. What surprised me. What worked for us and what didn't work. Today's post is about real estate photos.
In the past people talked about "curb appeal". While that's still important, photo appeal is equally as important. By photo appeal I mean having professional photos taken to display in the Internet.
In today's real estate market place many people are starting their home search on the web. John L. Scott has a terrific home search tool. Zillow is a real estate site that has taken home buying to a while new level. That's why the photos on the Internet listings are so important. Great photos can lead to showings and showings lead to sales. Poor photos lead to being on the market for a long, long time.
And if you're in Utah, Danny Lee of Danny Lee Photography is one of the best real estate photographers that I've seen.

Day 11: The Tree
I have always loved seeing beautifully decorated Christmas trees. I love the lights. Every ornament tells a story. And it feels like Christmas has really arrived as soon as the star is place atop the tree. No matter how short on cash my parents were we always had a real, beautiful tree growing up. Each child had their own box of special ornaments, which we placed on the tree ourselves and took with us when we had families and homes of our own. Shelby too has a fondness for Christmas trees and she made this clear from her very first Christmas. She couldn't walk yet. In fact, she wasn't even crawling. But she could easily scoot across the hardwood floors. And when no one was paying attention to her, for just a few minutes, she scooted over to the sparkling tree. She reached her little hand up and into the tree. And as quick as can be, she tugged on a strand on lights and started to pull the tree over on herself. We managed to save Shelby and the tree -- but barely. Now that she's older, Shelby loves to hear this story and loves even mote to pull out all the ornaments and place them on our tree. This year I have a lot of anxiety about putting up our tree. We usual have it up by now, but with Cooper grabbing at and climbing on everything; it feels like an accident waiting to happen. I tried to talk mike and Shelby into getting a few small table tree, forgoing the full-sized tree this year, but they're not having it. So for now, we are just holding off on putting up the tree until a little closer to Christmas. I said a week before Christmas. Shelby is begging for two weeks (today). We'll probably end up in the middle.

via abs-cbnnews.com / August 23, 2014 / The government plans to make public testimony regarding the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster given by plant chief Masao Yoshida, government and other sources said Friday, possibly shedding light on whether Yoshida ordered staff to remain at their posts.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga will announce as soon as Monday the decision to release the testimony by mid-September or later, the sources said.
The testimony of Yoshida, who died in July 2013, was compiled by a government panel formed to examine the March 2011 disaster at the nuclear plant northeast of Tokyo.
The panel interviewed Yoshida for more than 20 hours from July to November 2011.
The government has thus far declined to make public Yoshida's testimony, citing a statement Yoshida signed saying he did not want it made available to any third party.
But interest in Yoshida's first-hand account of what transpired in the days immediately after March 11, 2011, when a massive earthquake and tsunami knocked out power to much of the six-reactor Fukushima Daiichi power plant, leading to a series of explosions and the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl, has been piqued by reports that most staff fled.
The Asahi Shimbun daily reported this past May that 90 percent of workers left despite being ordered by Yoshida to stay, citing his testimony to the government panel.
Another Japanese daily, the Sankei Shimbun, also reported the content of the Yoshida testimony earlier this month, while victims of the nuclear accident have filed a lawsuit seeking to make the documents public.

So you are building open source hardware that will change the world? Ideally, it will be used by thousands—if not millions—of users, and everyone will have one—if not two—of your devices! You might not think that your device needs to be secure, but if people depend on it and make decisions based on the data the device presents, then it needs to be secure and reliable. Adding security to your OSHW project after it's deployed is too late; you need to think about this issue before your hardware ships.
The following tips are geared toward embedded OSHW devices that run firmware, whether in a FPGA, a microcontroller, or a CPU. More complete resources are listed in this appendix. Here are ...

(2005-11-20) Considerations When Creating An AD Test Environment – Part 2
Posted by Jorge on 2005-11-20
When you are part of an AD forest and being in one of the child domains, it may also be important you keep track of forest wide update made by the forest root domain owners/admins. For this to work those owners/admins should notify you when changes occur in the schema and/or configuration partition.
After you have taken care issues mentioned earlier, the question remains on how to mirror the productie environment…
Assuming you are creating a test environment that will not have any connection to the production environment, a model should be made of the production environment to create the test environment. Create the same domains, with the same DC names and IP addresses.
To create the AD environment when concerning the different types of objects the following is possible:
* Configuring Sites, subnets, site links and their properties
–> Export from the production env. into the test env. using LDIFDE. remember that not all attributes should be exported. Also remember that each forest/domain contains default objects!
* Configuring OUs, GPOs , groups, users, object-links (e.g. group memberships) and their properties
–> Export from the production env. into the test env. using the GPMC scripts "CreateXMLFromEnvironment.wsf" en "CreateEnvironmentFromXML.wsf" en "CreateMigrationTable.wsf"
–> As the GPMC scripts do not export all the objects and attributes, you might need to additionally export information from the production env. into the test env. using LDIFDE. remember that not all attributes should be exported. As object already exist some of the operations need to be modified from ADD to MODIFY in the output file of LDIFDE
* Configuring delegations on containers (OUs)
–> To read the configured delegations you cound use the script "ACLReport.vbs" from Sakari Kouti (http://www.kouti.com/scripts.htm at the end of the page). After reading, filtering out the default permissions and tweaking the file it may be possible to add it into the test env. using DSACLS
After the test environment is setup you need to think about change management. With this I mean: How are you going to make sure the test environment is kept up to date with changes in the production env.?
Especially when using the DTAP model (development, testing, acceptation, production), IMHO changes should be implemented in a automated way and with this I mean using scripts, batches or whatever. If possible and when having a good balance between "spending time creating the scripts/batches" and "spending time implementing the changes" (in the different stages) this will save you tons of time when doing the test for the Xth time and the chances are much smaller of making errors. IMHO to make sure a test env. is always up to date and ready for use for someone to use it for testing purposes, make sure someone is responsible for it. This hopefully prevents that when someone wants to do some tests, that someone first needs to cleanup/setup the test env. environment. Also make sure some reservation schedule exists so that people can make reservation for the use of the test environment.

Hello Jorge.
As usual, good thread ! 🙂
I found this link on activedir.org http://www.activedir.org/article.aspx?aid=24#13 , that seems to be an other method of building an AD lab test. What is your opinion ? Not to compare your opinion to Tony Murray's, but i'd like to have your advice.
Tony Murray's strategy seems to be fast and easy without having to use LDIFDE, CreateEnvironmentFromXML.wsf" etc….
So what are the PROs and CONs that you may think of ?
2006-05-24 at 11:12
Hi Yann,
Both methods are possible options.
When comparing both options: "clone" vs "rebuild"
* Fast
* Best copy from production
* Security (Tony does not mention his remark for nothing!)
* Very very very limited security issues (because of structure and samaccounts, although SIDs are different)
* Slow
* Might need additional work in some situations (e.g. permissioning)
This is a quick and dirty comparisson between both options. It depends (the IT answer!) what the requirements are short-term and long-term.

Best Foods to Eat During the Winter (Seasonal Foods)
Winter is brutal on your body. You need to take extra care of your body during this season of illness and close quarters, and this includes eating seasonal foods that support and promote detoxification. The foods with the highest amount of nutrients will be those seasonal foods naturally grown during this time of year, and your body needs these nutritional heavyweights during the process of detoxification.
Here are the best foods to eat during the winter. They are seasonal, delicious and nutritious, and provide the antioxidants necessary to guard you against free radicals and released toxins.
Collard Greens
These are high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including magnesium and manganese. They are best steamed or sautéed with some garlic and crushed red pepper.
The sulfur compounds in garlic are responsible for its pungent odor and taste. They also pack a wide variety of health benefits, including antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties.
Almonds are high in manganese, magnesium and vitamin E. They are versatile and tasty; throw them in a vegetable dish, a casserole, your cereal, or a salad.
Cauliflower is beneficial for its anti-cancer properties. It also contains glucosinolates that help activate enzyme detoxification. Cauliflower contains sulfur-containing nutrients and antioxidants that help boost the body's capacity for detoxification.
Pepper, Cumin, Turmeric, Fennel, and Ginger
These spices are essential in the detoxification process. They boast immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties and, when you pair them with detox-enhancing foods, they can get your body's engine revving.
Lentils provide the insoluble and soluble fibers that are perfect for stabilizing your blood sugar. They also provide support to the intestines, especially during the detoxification process.
This is one of the truest superfoods with a ton of detox-supporting nutrients. It has anti-oxidant, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties and may even help improve your cardiovascular health.
Beets are an essential source of phytonutrients known as betalains. They provide detoxification support and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Do not over-peel onions because you might be tossing out their important flavonoids, which act as phytonutrient powerhouses. The flavonoids are actually concentrated right in the outer layer of the flesh. Moreover, these are high in manganese; vitamins C, B9 and B6; and they are an essential source of potassium.
Limes and Lemons
Limes and lemons are loaded with vitamin C. These citrus fruits provide anti-cancer and anti-oxidant benefits.
Cabbage's antioxidant properties make it a must to eat for winter detox. It's an anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer food and also a great source of vitamins A and C.
These seasonal foods are easy to find and easy to prepare. They are delicious by themselves or combine many of them in a soup. Take your winter comfort food to the next level with some detoxifying powerhouses!

July 5th show
Town soldiers on after fireworks truck stalls
Sat., July 6, 2013
Sometimes, even America gets a belated birthday greeting.
That was the case in Republic, Wash., where the Chamber of Commerce had to postpone the town's annual Fourth of July fireworks show after the truck delivering the fireworks broke down.
Rather than canceling the show, Chamber of Commerce President Jim Milner elected to push it back a day.
Milner admits it's a bit strange to celebrate Independence Day on July 5 but said "it was better to do it that way than not at all."
"I think for the most part the people in the community agree with us on that," he said.
The show costs about $6,000 and is entirely funded by donations, said organizer Bobbi Weller, and planning begins in April. Weller estimated a few hundred people drove into town from the surrounding rural areas to watch the show.
"It's not huge, but it's a nice enough show that attracts the people that want to come and see it," she said.
The fireworks show is one of the only major annual events in Republic, population 1,073. It's an informal celebration, with a live band and picnicking families, but people look forward to seeing the fireworks over the lake, Milner said.
"We only see fireworks once a year," he said. "We figure the people involved put too much work in it to completely cancel."
Organizers order the fireworks from a supply company in Chehalis, Wash., almost a seven-hour drive from Republic. Somewhere along the way, the delivery truck broke down and was not repairable.
In 59 years of living in Republic and several years of helping with the show, Weller's never seen anything like this happen.
"It was kind of bad," Weller said. "You just roll with the punches and do what you can."
Through phone calls, word of mouth and social media, organizers were able to tell people lining up along the lake and the highways to come back Friday.
But even Friday's shipment of fireworks didn't make it in time. The delivery didn't arrive until 8:30 p.m., which didn't give enough time to wire the shells and float them out onto the lake. Instead, they shot the fireworks from the shore.
"We certainly couldn't cancel for the second night," Weller said.
After Thursday's announcement, homeowners along the lake shot off their own fireworks along the lake, Weller said.
"We had a show anyway," she said. "Just not the big one that everyone was expecting."

Saving money on energy bills is becoming a bigger priority for businesses everywhere, and having the right roof on your commercial building can make a major difference. Thermoplastic-olephine roofing, or TPO, is a great option to make your roof more efficient and help reduce your energy bills. RoofRoof are TPO roofing experts who will install the best roof available to make your commercial property as energy efficient as possible.
Feel free to call us today at 1-855-545-2778 for a free TPO roofing cost estimate on TPO roof installation or repair. Our services are made available in Spartanburg, Greenville, Easley, and nearby South Carolina.
This project in Gaffney, SC was a 80 mil PVC layover. The bottom of the roof was removed due to moisture in the insulation. The project took 2 weeks to 7 days to complete.
After a quality job done over the offices, this company selected us to install a new roof over their warehouse. We removed all wet insulation and replaced it with dry polyisocyanurate insulation. We then installed a cover board over the existing roof. Versico 60 mil TPO single ply membrane was machanically attached over the coverboard. All curbs and penetrations were custom flashed. The scuppers were opened up to accomodate more water flow. Crickets were installed to divert water to the scuppers. New coping caps was installed to finish off the project. The project took 3 months to complete.
This PVC commercial roof in Duncan, SC had hail damage. We worked with the insurance company to get the full claim approved. We remove the existing membrane and insulation and replaced 15 sheets of rotten plywood. We installed ISO board with a 60 mil Versico Single Ply PVC membrane. All walls, curbs, and penetrations were custom flashed and new scuppers installed. The project took a little over a week to complete.
TPO is designed to reflect UV rays, limiting the amount of exterior heat that gets into the building. This lowers the need for air conditioning, helping reduce your utility bills. TPO is very durable and long lasting, limiting the cost of repairs or replacements down the road. As an added benefit, TPO roofing is made from recycled plastic and is very environmentally friendly.
TPO roofing is an ideal commercial roofing type because it is applied in large rolls fully adhered and mechanically fastened or ballasted. Its durable material is essentially waterproof and reflective of UV rays. For a commercial building, TPO is the most cost-effective method to make your roof energy efficient and can help save money on energy costs.
RoofRoof is your local expert roofing contractor for all your commercial roofing installation and repair needs, including TPO roofing services. We have the knowledge and workmanship to maximize the energy efficiency of your commercial building and save you money on your energy bills.
Contact us at 1-855-545-2778 for a free TPO roofing cost estimate today. We proudly serve Greenville, Spartanburg, Easley, Greer, Anderson, Greenwood, Simpsonville, Gaffney, Taylors, Hendersonville, and surrounding South Carolina.
