AR-15 Rifles For Home And Self-Defense, In New York
Although a rifle is the single best choice for self and home defense unfortunately there are those politicians in New York and elsewhere in the country that simply don't understand that a Rile is a incredible tool, and they are trying to vilify Rifles, especially sporting rifles and any firearm that is capable of semi-auto fire.
Your 2nd amendment rights in New York is under attack by ignorant politicians and US Precision Defense is helping to bring out the truth about firearms and their invaluable role in Self-Defense, and saving lives.
It is a sad state of affairs that in New York that something that is so iconic in all of American history is so misunderstood by politicians, they forget history, that every single state in our union had Rifles as part of their history and even in the formation on their actual existence.
Rifles as a way of Self-Defense in New York is a right that all Americans should have without the impedance that some are trying to impose on your rights. Rifles not only are an excellent tool for Self-Defense, they came to the defense of our country from our founding to this very day, and we would not be a Nation if Rifles had not been available for our common Self-Defense.
New York, It is hard to believe that the New York State Constitution has language in one of its Provisions such as: Article 2, Section 4 of the New York Civil Rights Law provides: "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms cannot be infringed."
New York State and the city of New York specifically have the most gun restrictive laws of any state or city in the country (the city of Chicago is about equal) New York of recent times has been at the center of the Second Amendment debate and the right to possess and bear arms. Although a CCW permit can be obtained in New York they are almost impossible to obtain.
When Mayor Michael Bloomberg became the 108th and current Mayor of New York City he brought with him his personal anti-gun agenda to the Mayor's office. He has invested a significant portion of his personal wealth to his anti-gun and anti-second amendment agenda. He has openly called for the repeal of the Second Amendment or at a minimum that it be re-interpreted, apparently the Mayor sees himself on equal status as our Founding Fathers. He may be a successful businessman and politician yet his comments and views clearly show he is neither a true patriot nor a person who supports the constitution, and is not in the same league as our forefathers who formed our great nation.
New York, June 2013; A midlevel state court has rejected claims that New York's new gun law violates the state constitution because it was passed too quickly and restricts the rights of a citizen militia. The Appellate Division decision Wednesday upheld a judge's ruling that state law generally prohibits judicial review of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's justification for pushing the bill quickly through the Legislature on Jan. 15, instead of waiting the three days usually required. Cuomo used a "message of necessity" to skirt the waiting period, saying some guns and high-capacity magazines are so dangerous they needed to be restricted as soon as possible. Robert Schulz, who sued with more than 1,000 other plaintiffs, claims Cuomo's emergency justification was false. The law bans high-capacity magazines and tightens the definition of illegal "assault weapons."
US Precision Defense members only section of our website offers; legal advice, how to reports, and videos from firearm professionals.
New York, Mayor Michael Bloomberg never seems satisfied to leave bad enough alone. He now seeks to model New York's gun laws upon the Chicago murder capital fiasco, and is financing a $12 million propaganda campaign to sell his "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" program. While a major focus, at least for now, is to push for legislation mandating national background checks on all handgun sales, don't expect the mayor's anti-gun agenda to end there. His group has also circulated a factually-flawed report charging that the NRA has "kept the country in the dark about gun violence".
Who is really keeping the nation in the dark? Perhaps the items that follow will shed some points of light on this matter. Tough Gun Laws Don't Reduce Murder Rates, Criminals and Gangs Don't Get Background Checks, Gun Laws Can't Control Absentee Parenting, Gun Laws are Racist, Gun Laws are Sexist, Gun-Free Zones Invite Violence, Gun Laws are Dangerous, Statistics Don't Support Anti-Gun Propaganda, "Assault Weapon" is a Politically-Loaded Term, This all per Forbes Magazine.
In a quote by the Mayor; he stated that no 19 year old can be trusted with a firearm? (Paraphrased) Maybe the Mayor should see how many 19 year old (or younger) US Army troopers or US Marines there are protecting us in combat today?
Mayor Michael Bloomberg "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" organization is losing support from his peers as is evident by the fact that Mayors from across the country are starting to fall away due to the organizations militant approach to the issues and its direct disrespect for the U.S. Constitution and specifically the Second Amendment.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's anti-Second Amendment group, Mayors against Illegal Guns, has lost another member, this time the mayor of Rockford, Illinois--the state's third largest city.
While New York City takes applications for new concealed carry (CCW) permits, it approves a very small percentage for the average citizen. The overwhelming majority of CCW permits in the State and City are given to high profile politicians, wealthy persons of influence, and only high profile security professionals.
US Precision Defense is a national voice for the protection of the Second Amendment, and is dedicated to help educate and protect gun owners in every state.

What is Quick-Seeker.com?
Even though using the Quick-Seeker.com Search may seem like a good idea, our researchers have found out that you should not use the services provided by this browser hijacker. Do you know what a browser hijacker is? It is a potentially malicious program which takes over active browsers without your own knowledge. Needless to say, this hijacker is represented though the modifications of your search tools, and this means that you will discover undesirable home page and default search provider changes. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers certainly do not recommend trusting a completely unfamiliar search tool which does not provide authentic search results anyway.
How does Quick-Seeker.com Search work?
The suspicious Quick-Seeker.com presents a search engine which provides links to the services of Google and Yahoo. Do you enjoy these services? Then change your browser settings and refuse the dubious services provided by the search engine. Even if you are not going to face any visible threats and risks when using it, we are sure that different tracking technologies could be employed to spy on your virtual activity. Needless to say, unreliable, mischievous third parties could use this to your disadvantage. For example, you may discover online advertisements which could provide offers based on your recent search history. Unfortunately, some of these offers could be misleading.
Have you recently downloaded software from softonfire.com? In some cases the suspicious browser hijacker could enter your personal computer silently if you use the download manager on this site. On its own command, Quick-Seeker.com can drop adware helpers so that the removal of the browser hijacker would become more complicated. Have you changed your search tools and they have been restored after a short-while? This is something that the adware helpers are capable of. Note that other browser hijackers alike, including best-found.com, rapid-searcher.com speed-find.com, could corrupt your browsers in the same manner.
How to remove Quick-Seeker.com Search?
It is a good idea to delete Quick-Seeker.com Search from your browsers, especially if this search engine has replaced your regular search tools illegally. Do you know how to remove the browser hijacker? As you now know, adware helper objects may aid the clandestine infection and aggravate its removal. This is why using automatic malware detection and removal software is best. Click the download button below to install a security tool which will delete infections and protect your operating system reliably. Can you remove the browser hijacker manually?

Queering the Craft: Interview with Hudson Lin
I'm very excited to be featuring Hudson Lin today! Lin's work has really stood out to me this year, and she has two releases this summer: First in June was Inside Darkness, which I reviewed on RT Book Reviews (RIP), and this month is Three Months to Forever.
She generously stopped by to discuss writing, publishing, and race in fiction. Let's begin!
Hannah: Thanks so much for agreeing to be interviewed on Queerly Reads! 2018 seems to be your breakout year, with an anthology contribution in Teacher's Pet and two novels. What was your journey leading up to so many back-to-back releases?
Lin: As with many authors, my hard drive is full of half-finished stories collected over many years of dabbling in writing. It wasn't until 2015, when I was working abroad with few friends around, that I managed to get something finished. I posted it online and, to my surprise, I got really positive feedback and suggestions that I should become a published writer. It had always been a dream of mine to be an author, but I never thought that was in the realm of possibility, so I had a good laugh and brushed aside the comments. About a year later, I wrote another story and posted it online to more positive feedback and more suggestions that I should try publishing. So at the beginning of 2017, I made a New Year's resolution to do just that, try to become a published author. I spent most of that year writing the stories that are now being released. I still don't quite believe that anyone would want to publish my writing, let alone buy my books!
H: I love the sheer number of countries your stories take place in or mention, spanning three continents. What are some of your favorite books that don't take place in the U.S. or England?
L: Ah! This is such a good question! I had to go back through my Goodreads list to jog my memory, but unfortunately, it seems like my memory was correct: I've only read a handful of books set outside the US or the UK.
One of these is Want by Cindy Pon, a young adult novel set in Taipei, Taiwan with a racially diverse cast and queer characters. Sometime in the near future, the world is being crippled by pollution and the gap between the rich and the poor has widened dramatically. A group of young people hatch a plan to bring down an evil corporate empire that preys on the poor and the environment. I love this book because it shows people of color taking charge and kicking ass, the female characters are really strong leaders, and the queer content is woven into the story seamlessly.
One last thing, I think I like setting stories in different countries because I see so little of that in my reading. I love to travel and I love imagining stories playing out in the places I visit. Setting can be a character unto itself, bringing an extra dimension to the story, creating new and interesting conflicts. I wish there were romance novels set in other parts of the world!
H: What is one piece of advice you would give to writers starting out in their querying/submissions process?
L: I'm not sure I'm the best person to give advice, since I'm still starting out myself! But I will say this: as with any career, a lot of it has to do with luck. Hard work and talent are both important, but sometimes the stars align the right away and everything happens, and sometimes they don't. There are so many factors that go into becoming a published author, and most of them are completely outside the control of the author themselves. So if things aren't going the way you'd like them to, it isn't necessarily that you're doing something wrong, it could just be that the time isn't right yet.
H: Your portrayal of PTSD rang really true for me with Inside Darkness. Do you have any specific writing methods for "digging deep" into the psychology of your characters?
L: I write a lot of my own psychology into my characters. This isn't to say that I have PTSD, because as far as I know, I don't. But I do have other issues with mental health, and I often tap into those when developing a character. Writing is cathartic for me. It allows for self-examination and then provides an outlet to process my thoughts. I guess if the psychology of a character rings true, it means that I've successfully described all the strange and convoluted ways my brain works!
For Inside Darkness, I spent a lot of time scouring blogs of aid workers who had been diagnosed with PTSD, including those from the queer community. Since I'd spent some time as an aid worker myself, I found myself identifying with some of the things they wrote. What ended up in the book is a combination of my own experiences of the field, snippets gleaned from those first-hand accounts, plus a great editor/sensitivity reader who made sure I wasn't completely off base.
H: On the topic of digging deep: Your essay on racial diversity in fiction is such an important read. You expressed something I see in myself as I take on writing an f/f romance for the first time: This ease with writing about a dominant social group you don't belong to (e.g. white people, men, white men) but this internal soul-searching that needs to be done to bring truths about your own identity to the page. You wrote, "I include at least one East Asian character in every story I write. And it's hard, so much harder than I imagined it would be." Was there a kind of "click" moment where you realized you needed to do this as a writer? Maybe in spite of or because of the inherent difficulty?
L: If there was a "click" moment, I think it came as I was scrolling through Twitter, hehe. But seriously, I had no idea there was a movement for more diversity in romance until I joined the writing community on social media. Once I realized this movement existed, I couldn't not try to contribute; it would have been like denying who I was.
I've spent my whole life trying to fit in with the crowd, trying to diminish what makes me different so as to be more easily accepted. Presenting myself as an East Asian author and writing East Asian characters is doing exactly the opposite: I'm highlighting that I'm different, I'm leaning into my difference. Not only is that going against a lifetime of habits, but it's also opening myself up to criticism, potentially from people who know less about being Asian than I do.
But if I—someone with the lived experienced of being Asian—don't write authentic and nuanced East Asian characters, who will? If I want to see the romance genre become more diverse, who else is more qualified to add an East Asian perspective than me? I'm not saying I'm an expert on all things East Asian—I'm not. But I have bits and pieces I can contribute, and combined with bits and pieces from other people, we can create a much richer landscape where everyone can belong.
H: What can we look forward to from you in the future?
L: My latest release is Three Months to Forever (out on July 20th from Dreamspinner Press) about Ben a white man who is sent from Toronto to Hong Kong on a three-month work assignment. He meets Sai, an older Hong Kong lawyer, who has a complicated relationship with his father and his work. They quickly fall in love, despite several lost-in-translation moments, but what will they do when Ben's three months come to an end? Set in Hong Kong, Three Months to Forever is as much a love story about the city as it is a romance about two men. Readers can expect lots of references to cultural landmarks and plenty of food!
FollowingThree Months to Forever, I've got several other stories in the works (though no set release dates), including an m/m romance set in LA about a Dreamer and his law school classmate; an m/f romance set in Toronto about former law school rivals who find themselves on opposite sides of new case; and an f/f romance featuring Izzy from Inside Darkness.
H: YAY!!!! F/F FOREVER! Thanks so much again Hudson!
L: Thanks so much for having me!

BJP worker, 4 family members murdered in Nagpur
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker Kamlakar Pawankar and four other members of his family were allegedly murdered in Nagpur's Aradhana Nagar. The victims include two minors- a boy and a girl and an old woman. The incident took place at Dighori at midnight.
According to reports, property dispute is one of the probable reasons behind the crime. The deceased have been named- Kamlakar Pawankar, his wife Archana, daughter Vedanti, nephew Ganesh and mother Meerabai. Pawankar reportedly owned 10 acres of land, which was reportedly disputed.
A huge crowd of BJP workers and other relatives mobbed outside the police station as well as Pohankar's residence after they came to know about the incident.
More details are awaited.

Tax Time, I hate it. However, there are a few things I do to prepare.
Hope all of you do great financially this coming difficult year.

If you made less than $56,000.00 in '08 you can file your taxes for free. Go to IRS.gov, to the right is the free link. You pick which company to use. I have used Turbo Tax for years and have always been very happy with process and the outcome!
By Jodi from Horse Shoe, NC
I have gone through the following website for like 3 years now and gotten my federal and state taxes all done, e-file, for free. I believe it's for people who make less than $25,000 per year, and there are other people who qualify too. Check it out. It's free and I have the money either deposited right into our checking account, or mailed to us. I like putting it automatically in the checking account the best.

The Benefits Of Filing A Tax Return. Hope this is helpful to someone thinking about not filing a tax return this year. Due to illness one year, my income did not require me to file a tax return. I regretted that decision.
When electronically or e-filing your tax return with an anticipated refund, make sure the bank account you designate for the direct deposit has your name on it.
If you can't meet the April filing deadline (Midnight, April 17th this year) to file your tax return, you can get an automatic six month extension of time to file from the IRS.
Be careful when switching software or filling out your tax return if you are married-filing jointly. My husband and I accidentally switched the order of our social security numbers from last year to this.
Just found out this year that if you make less than 56000.00 a year you can go to http://www.irs.gov and do your taxes for free! Just wanted to let people know!
Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
I need a cheap service to file my income tax. i do not want to file online. Any suggestions?
Very often accounting students will provide this service in a college. They are supervised. However, if you have a complex return, I would not trust them.
Our libraries have free services. We had a family member volunteer for years. They were well trained, but usually not professionals.
You can see if your local library has the same service.
Some food pantries also offer free services. Those folks are usually pros who do it for free (pro bono). That would be another good option for you to look into.
The IRS trains volunteers to help with tax returns check online here: www.irs.gov/
TurboTax, H&R Block, karma credit all havehas a free basic tax returns software available online.
I recently got married last month. I worked the same job for 14 years but in June we relocated and unfortunately the job couldn't come with. I've never been married and I've never filed taxes any other way do I have to file married this year?
By Nc
It would be in your best interest to file married, as that is now a deduction you can claim (if you are the head of household). If you are not the head, then your spouse will claim you as a deduction, which means you don't have to pay as much in taxes.
You can either file married or married filing separately. Your taxes will be lower if you file as married.
Why is there an age limit on the 1040EZ and other forms?
By David from Brentwood, MO
When you are 65 and over you are entitled to a higher standard deduction and the 1040-EZ is meant to be a fast filing form for the IRS. Use the Form 1040-A. It is just as easy.
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
The Free File program is a free (U.S.) federal tax preparation and electronic filing program for eligible taxpayers developed through a partnership between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Free File Alliance LLC, a group of private sector tax software companies.
Since Free File's debut in 2003, more than 15.4 million returns have been prepared and e-filed through the program. Free File allows taxpayers with an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $52,000 or less in 2006 to e-file their federal tax returns for free. That means 70 percent of all taxpayers - 95 million taxpayers can take advantage of the Free File program.

Thanks loads for this tip. I did not know any such thing existed, and I was dreading either having to pay a CPA or buy an expensive computer program in order to file my taxes this year. Have a lovely day and God bless you! (02/07/2007)
By Pat Giles
I have been using taxact.com for the last 3 years. It is so easy to use. They ask you straight forward questions and have help links that actually explain and help you. This year I paid them 12.95 and filed my state taxes through them also but the federal was still free. My state refund was mailed less than 1 week from me submitting my tax return. The federal refund is scheduled to be mailed 3 weeks after. Best of luck to you all. (02/07/2007)
This is the second year I have used this way to do our federal taxes. I found it to be easy and far less time consuming and it is free! And in less than ten days, my refund is direct deposited into our checking account. (02/09/2007)

Silvena Rowe (née Lauta, born in Plovdiv, Bulgaria) is a British chef, food writer, television personality and restaurateur.[1]
Rowe was born in Plovdiv to a Bulgarian mother and a Turkish father.[2] Rowe's father, who was a newspaper editor of the largest Bulgarian newspaper, Bulgarianised his name due to Bulgaria's communist government.[3] He instilled in Rowe a love of cooking and passed down the traditions of the Ottoman cuisine.[4] At the age of 19, she moved to London.[1][5] Silvena cooked in the kitchen of the Notting Hill bookshop Books for Cooks, which led her to cook for Princess Michael of Kent, Ruby Wax and Tina Turner.[1] She also met Malcolm Gluck and the two began to write a regular food column for The Guardian newspaper.[1] In 2007, she was the food consultant on David Cronenberg's 2007 film Eastern Promises.[1] She has become a regular guest on the BBC's Saturday Kitchen and ITV's This Morning. In 2007, her book Feasts won the Glenfiddich Food and Drink Award.[4] After her father's death she wanted to rediscover her heritage so she travelled through Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan tracing her Ottoman roots; this resulted in her cookbook Purple Citrus and Sweet Perfume.[2]

My name is Belinda. I would describe myself as a personal assistant, singer and a caring, sensitive, friendly and happy person. Unfortunately, since I was young, bladder infections have also been a big part of my life.
I've been back and forward to doctors and hospitals, took tablets, had injections, was x-rayed and participating in various tests and surgeries. Eventually I was diagnosed with urinary retention (the cause is unknown). My bladder hasn't been emptying properly for years, which was leading to the infections. I was shown a technique of pressing on my body to help more urine come out from my bladder.
The objective of cathing for me is to try and reduce my bladder infections, because emptying my bladder fully and regularly will stop urine stagnating and allowing bacteria to grow. I have also been told it might retrain my bladder muscle to work by itself again, but no guarantees.
I don't like the idea of cathing much, but at the same time I feel optimistic about this simple opportunity to improve my situation and get rid of these endless infections!
Click, hold and drag along the timeline below to scroll through Belinda's story (day 1 to day 1028)
I cathed twice at home today (morning and evening) and I went to the toilet in my usual way the other times.
I'm getting used to the different types of flow rates of urine now. Sometimes the urine has a strong flow to it, and other times it has a weaker flow. I think the strength and pressure of the flow depends on the amount of urine in my bladder. I can also feel a 'suction' sensation when the urine flow is coming to an end and my bladder has finished emptying.

organic Highland Herbs
Aromatic herbs naturally deter pests and pull in pollinators, whilst also providing nutrients to surrounding plants. Perennial varieties of herbs hold water in the ground all year-round, creating a cooled microclimate for their neighbours.
We grow a range of herbs, from the expected - like flat leaf parsley, rosemary and sage - to the more unusual - like English lavender, tena'adam and lemongrass.
All of our herbs are certified as organic to the EU standard.
GreenPath Varieties include
With its distinctly floral aroma, lavender has a number of versatile uses, as a refreshing accent to both savoury and sweet dishes, as well as to natural cosmetics. We find it the perfect compliment for fish. In baking, it's aromatic, honeyed flavour makes it a great addition into recipes or as a delicate finish. Available all year.
Lemongrass forms a key element of Asian cuisine, with it's striking, citrus flavour. Across Ethiopia, fresh lemongrass is often used as the base for a post-dinner tea, together with hibiscus flower and lime. It also has powerful agronomic properties, deterring pests while attracting honey bees that stimulate pollination. Available all year.
Mint's distinctively refreshing aroma and taste is central to a diversity of dishes, from lamb, to salads, drinks, and jams. Ethiopian mint, native to the Rift Valley, is similar to common mint but has a slightly softer texture and a sweeter undertone. Available all year.
The most popular mint variety for culinary use, spearmint has a fuller and longer-lasting flavour than any other variety we have tried. She has a more targeted flavour than her cousin, common mint, yet her taste remains bright and with lemony undertones. Available all year.
No herb is more ubiquitous in Europe than flat-leaf parsley. It's widely used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking, central to tabbouleh, to fish dishes and to pasta plates. Additionally, it is often used as a garnish or flavour accent, complimenting chicken, lamb, and beef dishes. Available all year.
This mediterranean herb has a pinewood-like aroma and a bittersweet flavour. Its warming taste makes it ideal for stews, roasts, and meats. Indeed, it is a staple of Ethiopian meat dishes; rosemary in Amharic literally translates to "that which you eat with meat." Available all year.
Sage, a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, has both culinary and health-promoting qualities. Fresh sage has a distinctive appearance with long, soft-spear leaves, fuzzy texture, and muted colouring. It has both a sweet and a savoury flavour, which sees it often paired with chicken, squash and eggs. Available all year.

By Daniel Gross
Don't just do something! Sit there!
That's the approach the Federal Reserve seems to be taking. Faced with a flow of data that indicates a slowdown in the rate of growth, the Federal Open Market Committee announced Wednesday that it was essentially standing pat. And in his press conference yesterday afternoon, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke didn't signal that bold new initiatives would be forthcoming anytime soon.
And that makes sense, says Bob Brusca, chief economist at FAO Economics in New York. "They're not doing much," he says in the accompanying interview. "But the Fed doesn't have much arrows left in the quiver." (Check out his blog here.)
The central bank did announce that it would continue "operation twist" — i.e. selling short-term bonds that it owns and using the proceeds to buy longer-dated bonds in the hopes of bringing long-term interest rates down. The Fed said it would also plow the proceeds of retired mortgage-backed securities into purchasing new ones. But it isn't conjuring up any new money to inject into the system.
Brusca says the continuation of these existing programs won't do much. "It helps in a very marginal way. Interest rates are at record lows. And it doesn't seem to me that low interest rates are what is broken. What's broken is the ability to access those rates. Credit is being rationed by banks."
Bernanke and his colleagues at the Fed have expressed some mystification as to why ordinary consumers and borrowers have yet to feel the effects of the free money given to banks. But they shouldn't be. Since the credit bust, it has generally been the case that those who least need cash can get it with great ease. Companies with AAA credit ratings can easily refinance their debt at very low rates. Wealthy people with lots of equity in their homes and high credit ratings can easily refinance. But lightening the debt load of the already well-off doesn't do much to spur demand. "That's why I call this a Republican monetary policy," said Brusca. "If you don't need the money you can get it. But if you have any credit problem, you can't get these low interest rates. We need to get the credit to the people who will use it."
In addition, Brusca argues that the Fed's policy of (a) setting short-term rates at rock-bottom levels and indicating that it will leave them for several years; and (b) driving long-term rates downward, has been counterproductive. First, banks aren't exactly eager to lend out money for 10 or 30 years at exceedingly low rates — they're assuming a decent amount of risk for very little reward. "Banks are rationing credit because the rates are so low," Brusca says. What's more, Brusca believes the persistence of low interest rates has a negative psychological effect. "The more you tell people that interest rates are going to be low for a really long period of time, the more they'll think that growth and inflation are going to be very low. And that causes people to pull back their expectations," he said.
Some analysts seized on the final line of the FOMC's communique as an indicator that the Fed might be willing to take more aggressive action soon. "The Committee is prepared to take further action as appropriate to promote a stronger economic recovery and sustained improvement in labor market conditions in a context of price stability." But Brusca says we shouldn't hold our breath. "The Fed isn't in the business of creating jobs. All it can do is keep interest rates low."
At this point, the best hope for measures that could spur demand and boost jobs would come from fiscal policy. But Congress and the White House have been hopelessly deadlocked for the last few years. And it's unlikely that the months leading up to a pivotal election will bring any significant action to boost economic growth. Says Brusca: "They couldn't agree to tie their shoes if they were untied."

Fabrication Detailing
These videos provide information on structural steel detailing, which is a specialized type of drafting. Detailers convert engineering drawings to fabrication shop drawings so that the structural steel can be properly cut, cambered, welded, bolted, etc. Most detailing is performed using expensive and specialized detailing software -- and many detailers are now using programs that show 3D renderings, which are useful in eliminating interference between the steel and other systems such as ductwork. In addition, the detailers provide important information on connections.

It's 4:30, you're getting ready to leave for the day, that happy hour with friends at your favorite spot is calling your name and then it happens. Your phone rings and it's someone briefly asking about your day and then immediately trying to sell you something. Bad cold calls; we've all gotten them and many of us are guilty of making them.
Here are my top tips for smashing that first call.
1. Qualify the Prospect
Before even picking up the phone, you need to do some research. Do your best to make sure that what you're offering is a fit for this business, since you're wasting their time and your own by reaching out to someone who isn't a good match.
2. Research the Company
Once you've determined that your prospect is qualified, it's time to do some digging. Take a look at the company's LinkedIn, Twitter, and Website to learn about any new products, acquisitions or awards. Task yourself with finding 3 pieces of information that that you can use to build rapport during the call.
3. Know your Target(s)
After learning a bit more about your prospect, identify one or more potential targets within the organization who are able to make decisions. Think about who you are calling and what their role is within the company so that you can tweak your pitch to capture their interest.
4. Get your Timing Right
Avoid calling right before lunch or at the end of the day as people might be leaving the office. No one wants to speak to you if they're heading out the door to grab a bite to eat or to go home. Also keep the day in mind as Monday's are often the most busy and Friday's can be the start of an extended weekend.
5. Diagnose
You've done your research and managed to get your target on the phone but before you can get into your carefully crafted pitch, you need to take into account what is arguably the most important rule of selling. Listen more than you speak.
Try to discover any pain points or specific needs, such as not meeting yearly goals or the need for greater brand awareness. This shows genuine interest and allows you to tailor your pitch.
6. Prescribe
At this point it's time to diagnose and prescribe. Match your company's solution to the need or problem you've identified. Saying "Our solution, A, will help you with problem B, by doing C and D for your company" is far more compelling than "You should work with us because our product is great".
7. Make Plans for Next Steps
Assuming the call has gone well and you are progressing on to the next steps, book in a follow up call and immediately send a calendar invite. Make sure to let them know what you will be discussing and why there is a need to follow up. Getting this in the calendar helps to prevent a game of phone tag and uncertainties later on.
8. Send a Recap/ Thank You Email
After the call, send an email that does the following: thanks them for their time, highlights what was discussed, and includes next steps.

Kate Upton: Not Going to the Prom After All :(by Free Britney at . Updated at .
It's not for lack of effort on his part or interest on hers, but Kate Upton is apparently unable to make Jake Davidson's senior prom dreams come true.
Booked solid with modeling, acting and charitable obligations, the 20-year-old supermodel says that her schedule is packed for the entire month of May.
The Sports Illustrated stunner was flattered, impressed and genuinely excited by Jake's Kate Upton prom invite video. She just can't make it happen.
"[I] just don't know if I can make it work. But I really appreciated being asked, it made me feel really great!" she said. "He was creative and funny."
"It really made me laugh."
She's not alone there.
Jake Davidson proved worthy as a date with his video, proclaiming that the two are perfectly compatible, even if you wouldn't think so on the surface.
"You're the yin to my yang, I'm Jewish, 5'9" on a really good day, and can't dance at all. You're Christian, 5'10", and that Cat Daddy video should have won an Oscar for best short film."
"You could say this is destiny."
Sadly, his destiny will not be escorting Kate Upton to the senior prom. But on the plus side, the Cat Daddy video is still online. Silver linings, Jake.

The performance of a diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:Gd0.5Y0.5VO4 laser at 1.34μm with V3+:YAG as the saturable absorber was demonstrated for the first time to the best of our knowledge. The focal lengths of thermal lens in the diode-end-pumped Nd:Gd0.5Y0.5VO4 laser for the 1.34μm transition was experimentally investigated, with the corresponding proportion constant estimated to be ~1.5×104W/mm. For the passive Q-switching operation, the maximum average output power of 0.96W was achieved under the pump power of 7.28W, corresponding to optical-to-optical conversion and slope efficiency of 13.2% and 17.6%, respectively. The minimum pulse width attained was 47.8ns with the pulse repetition frequency of 76kHz, with the single pulse energy and peak power estimated to be 8.7/μJ and 182W, respectively.

Burnley are a team tipped for relegation, but they are also equally equipped to fight against it - as they'll look to prove when they visit Stoke City on Saturday afternoon.
In recent years, the Lancashire-based side have solidified themselves as the best outfit in the county. Blackburn, Blackpool, Accrington, Fylde, Morecambe and Preston all offer a mediocre level of play in comparison.
The Clarets are a resilient force when faced with a threat and often emerge from the muddy pitch smelling of roses.
Despite the odds being stacked against them Sean Dyche's men have managed to topple Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool and frustrate Jose Mourinho's Manchester United this season, also beating Ronald Koeman's Everton.
Positive results allow the older generation of Burnley fans to reminisce about the 1960's, in which the club competed in the European Cup and Inter-Cities Fairs Cup – the equivalent of today's Europa League.
It would be a ludicrous statement to suggest that the club will be replicating such achievements in the nearby future, but then stranger things have happened.
Since the start of the Premier League in 1992 there have been 68 promotions, and 30 of those 68 Championship upgrades have resulted in first year relegation.
Were Burnley right to spend big this summer?
Burnley were last promoted to the nation's top division two years ago and are one of the 30 teams to be branded with the degrading statistic of going straight down after promotion.
In the 2014-2015 season, Dyche's Burnley offered the same style of play they display presently, a side willing to work hard, defend together and devastate on the counter-attack.
This lack of adaptation might puzzle certain members of the footballing community, but unlike three years ago available revenue has sky rocketed due to television deals.
Very few now bat an eyelid at the prospect of spending £35 million on a player. In fact, it is even the norm in English football.
The Clarets spent more than £24 million on players leading up to the start of this campaign, whereas their spend in their previous spell in the Premier League totalled just £5.5 million.
It is said and proven however, that money does not always guarantee success, nor as the saying goes, does it buy you happiness. But will it be enough to keep Burnley in the league? That will be a question only answered later in the campaign.
Burnley won't go down without a fight
Burnley are set to face Stoke this Saturday at the Bet365 Stadium and it will be a tough test again for Dyche's side.
Mark Hughes' men have endured a recent surge up the league table after a shocking start which left the Potters with just one point after five games.
Stoke, who now sit 11th on 16 points, are the favourites to pick up all three in the Potteries.
Unlike many an opponent Burnley have succeeded against this season, Stoke offer a more direct style of play.
Burnley fans have already witnessed what a devastating effect can be ensued by a target man, when Salomon Rondon ran riot for West Brom in their 4-0 thumping of Dyche's men less than a fortnight ago.
Wilfred Bony is a muscular forward with pace and an eye for goal, with his confidence growing by the hour. This game is set up to be one tasty showdown for the neutral.

How can I succesfully develop my business as a freelance translator?
I started working as a full time freelance translator 2 months ago and find it hard to get noticed by agencies and therefore to build up experience and get references.
The beginning for freelancers is so difficult. Some freelancers have gotten the first project since 6 months they started.
1) You should sign up to the freelance platform as Upwork, Freelancer.com, PeoplePerHour.
2) Fill your profile where you put all your skills and experience. The important thing in the profile is your portfolio. Put your previous works. If you don't have them, write some examples.
3) Take small projects. It helps you to get first references.
4) Use additional tools for searching jobs. For example, Periodix (https://periodix.net/) finds the greatest freelance jobs to be hired. It helps you to apply for the best jobs for your profile.
5) Build long-term relationships with your clients. It helps you to get other projects from that.
After some time, you will have enough orders to open your freelance agency and share your jobs with other freelancers.
Good luck!
Hi Katrien,
There are some great recommendations provided below, but I do agree with Gary. In your question I don't see a few key factors
1) What language(s) are you translating?
2) What is your goal as a freelance translator:
a) Who do you want to work for? Do you want to work for large corporations or do you want to work with solo-entreprenuers?
b) What are you thinking of charging? This will definitely narrow down your potential client.
c) Have you done research where other freelancers are offering the same service as you are above?
When it comes to marketing your service, remember a simple concept for marketing in today's world. "Either Be The First, Be The Best, Be The Loudest or a combination of all three".
I would start with that and then look at where you want to build.
Good luck with your business,
Katrien: While all of the suggestions already given have merit, there is lack of focus on defining potential customers. You also did not disclose in what languages you are skilled. Large companies with frequent international interests will have native speakers on staff or will communicate in English. Some of my friends in your field have found a ready market with commercial lawyers, international litigators, patent law, and technical markets for symposiums conducted in and delivered in local language. These suggestions may require you to get additional training (for example as a para legal or in technical specialties) and research to identify and then to sell to those firms. I am not sure that agencies can deliver these unique clients. But the work is there at elevated rates. Good luck.
Hi Katrien,
How very exciting to be staring a new business. Just super! (in any language.)
I think there are a few things you can do to get noticed but my favourite is to hit the target market on the head with your services. Try doing an e-mailer - a short service description (one paragraph) and translate into the languages you specialise in. Send to the creative guys at the agencies, editors at magazines and news papers as an example of your work. Pay a good creative copy writer to write a catchy paragraph that will make your target markets sit up and take notice.
Also, pass it onto your friends, ask them to pass it on to their friends, post it on your LinkedIn page, Facebook page, join Freelance Central, take an ad on BizCommunity and get onto the supplier databases of government organisations.
Create a web page (or site). And, as the other contributors have said, get your SEO right up there.
Good luck girl! Much success and happiness
... and please register on the SASSETA database so that we can contact you for a quote when we need your services. www.sasseta.org.za. The link will be live tomorrow
In addition to the already great suggestions, which I would do first. I would also consider reaching out via direct sales (phone calls and inmails through LinkedIn) to the larger advertising, PR agencies, engineering firms and software development companies working internationally. Most will need translators. As will big public companies. There are also body shop companies who source out contractors into big projects. They would be high on my list as well. The providers are usually local and they tend to specialize by industry sector.
I'm a big fan of direct selling, because it gets you out there talking to people. You can start out using contacts found on LinkedIn and Bizo. then if you run out of names, you can buy a list of companies engaged in export or with foreign offices and then smile and dial them to let them know you exist.
I know that likely sounds awful, but in my experience it works really well.
What a great service! You may already be familiar with Odesk, Elance and Freelancer. Plus, you should make connections on LinkedIn. Make every connection as if they were your next client.
Create a video with you (in front of a camera) and translate your introduction, in all the languages you are able to speak or write. Also, use 'closed caption' text at the bottom of the video, so your prospects can see what you're talking about.
No one has time for cold calls. Video introductions make a better impact.
Hope this helps.
Katrien, Great question!
There are several things You can do.
1. Create profiles & offer your services on online places such as elance.com, guru.com, odesk.com and even fiverr.com
2. Make a list of the company and organizations who need your services, find them on LinkedIn, follow the companies, connect with employees. Anticipate what they would need and create a package , introduce your packages in newsletter that You send out weekly. Or in conversations. Of course You'll need to have had some sort of relationship going. So build on that and not only for that purpose either because people always know when one is genuine or not :))
3. Write blogs on the topic of translation and broach topics -such as cultural etiquette- in such a way that companies thinking of expanding overseas will be interested
4. As in # 2, Create a LinkedIn profile etc. and do the same
5. If You read a company's blogs and it says anything about expanding into a foreign market- the language of which You speak , show them what You can do for them. Do not assume they will know.
6. If You can translate, perhaps You can teach, create mini-online/ Skype etc. courses for business people who are travelling overseas and want to or need to be come familiar with the language. Find businesses who want to learn different things here opensesame.com / Or people here lessonvendor.com
7. If possible Join Fortune 1000/ 500/ 100 memberships/ associations where You can take on roles that may showcase your talent. Or where at least You can network with those who need your service.
Hope these ideas help!
I Am Wishing You Well!
Peace +Much Love

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'needle felting' tag.
A new selection of soft spinning fibers have arrived!
Jacob Sheep have graced the large estates and country homes of England for many centuries. Their impressive horns, black and white faces and spotted bodies have no doubt contributed to their popularity and survival.
The Brown Select Jacob Wool has been hand picked from the fleece and processed to keep the rich brown color. The micron count ranges between 25-35. Jacob is easy to spin and produces a springy yarn.
Masham sheep have been bred for over a century on the hill farms in the Northern Counties of England. The Masham sheep is produced by crossing a Teeswater or Wensleydale and Swaledale or Dalesbred.
This wool overdyes beautifully and is a great choice for rugs or projects that need a more robust wool. Masham wool is a beautiful silver grey color with a good degree of lustre. It is classified as a longwool. Micron count is between 31-36 microns.
Cheviot is a main British wool breed. The modern Cheviot breed has been produced by selection rather than by crossing. It is a pure breed, one of a very few in this country. Cheviots produce generous fleeces of white wool which is preferred by mills because its fineness, crimp, and length of staple give it superior spinning and combing qualities, and its low grease content
Cheviot Wool Top is a beautiful natural white color. The micron count is between 27-33. The wool top is open without being slippery making it an excellent wool for beginner spinners. The wool practically spins itself. The yarn produced from Cheviot wool is a pleasure to knit, crochet or weave.
Are you allergic to animal fibers?
Fear no more, this batt contains none of that!
Hand dyed nylon fibers with a hint of firestar for sparkle and shine.
You can spin this by itself to make a vegan yarn, or combine it with your animal fiber batts to add more memory to your yarn.
Here's a few suggestions for spinning the vegan batt:
Spin it as a single and then ply it with another animal fiber based yarn,
or blend with an animal fiber batt as you spin.
Any way you choose to use this fiber, it's all good!
See all of the colorways at sevenyaks.etsy.com
Get festive this Halloween – add a fun and stylish skull to a scarf.
If you're like me, skulls are fun to wear any time!
Scarf blanks are 6 inches x 6 feet long in super soft polyester.
If you haven't needle felted on fleece yet, Craft E Magee has a great tutorial to get you started!
If you want to play around with a simple design, needle felting some yarn or roving is always a great start.
Here's a free PDF stencil to print and cut with an X-Acto knife to create your own scarf!
Merino is a fabulous fiber for spinning yarn, wet felting and needle felting!
The merino is one of the world's most ancient breeds of sheep. Merino fibers are extremely fine, enabling them to bend far more than traditional, coarser wool fibers. This makes Merino wool feel soft and luxuriously gentle next to your skin. But the merino's fleece is built for extremes – breathable in summer, insulating in winter, yet exceptionally soft and lightweight.
Because Merino can absorb moisture vapor, it tends not to create static electricity, helping it to drape beautifully and be less likely to cling uncomfortably to your body than other fabrics.
• Softest and fineness of all the wool types
• Fine crimp
• Good elasticity
• Excellent loft
Staple length for merino is 70mm or 2.75"
23 to 25 micron wool
$2.00 per ounce at 7 Yaks Design
Elasticity can also be added to merino with nylon fibers such as Snow Mountain or Starbright. Firestar will creates a shimmer in your yarn, similar to the addition of silk. You will find that adding nylon will create a yarn with more memory which is especially important when knitting socks!
All 7 Yaks Design fibers are hand dyed with professional dyes that are both lightfast and washfast for long lasting, fade resistant color.
Experience the delight of spinning alpaca! Luxuriously soft, long, and available in a range of beautiful natural colors, discover why spinners love this fiber. Alpaca is a long fiber with no crimp, so it doesn't stretch and bounce the way wool does. Sheep's wool contains a lot of lanolin (grease) and most spinners like to scour the wool to remove excess lanolin before they spin it. Alpaca doesn't have the same grease content, and it is also hypo-allergenic.
Alpaca is…
Soft Luxurious
Very durable
Hand-washable or dry-cleaned
Little static
No pilling
Dyes well
Blends extremely well with other fibers
Suri Alpaca locks can be long and curly or straight fibers that are silky, very fine and very soft. There is a wide variety in the color of the fiber such as, white, fawn, reddish brown, gray, dark brown, and black. Suri Alpaca fiber is ideal for making soft loftier yarns for knitting. It can also be used for felting.
Huacaya Alpaca (pronounced wuh-kai-ya) wool is denser than the Suri Alpaca. It is soft and very easy to spin and felt.
Alpaca can be handcarded, using handcarders with fine teeth to create rolags. Handcarded alpaca will spin into a soft lofty woollen yarn for knitting.
A drumcarder with fine teeth will create large batts for spinning.
Blending With Other Fibers:
Adding 20%-50% wool to alpaca gives the yarn more elasticity. You can either spin a single of alpaca and one of wool then ply the two together to make a nice woollen yarn, or wool can be added to alpaca before spinning using handcarders or a drumcarder.
Blending 10%-30% mohair will make a fluffy yarn and give it a fuzzy look. Silk lightly carded into the alpaca will add sparkle to your yarn. Angora rabbit wool with alpaca makes a luxury yarn. This yarn will be extremely soft and very warm.
You can use a drumcarder or handcarders to create various shades of alpaca, such as blending black alpaca with white alpaca will produce gray, or any number of colorful blends with dyed alpaca.
Elasticity can also be added to alpaca with nylon fibers such as Snow Mountain or Starbright. Firestar will creates a shimmer in your yarn, similar to the addition of silk. Since alpaca fiber does not have much elasticity on its own, you will find adding wool or nylon – or some of both, will create a yarn with memory which is especially important when knitting socks!
Uses For Alpaca Yarn:
Alpaca yarn can be used for knitting, weaving, and felting projects – including wet felting and needle felting.
All 7 Yaks Design fibers are hand dyed with professional dyes that are both lightfast and washfast for long lasting, fade resistant color.
The luxurious fleece and pelt of the Gotland sheep are what sets them apart from other breeds. Gotland pelts are world-renowned for their superior quality. The pelts sell for a premium, due to their smooth silky locks and soft handle.
The Gotland's fleece is considered to be among the best in the world for spinning and weaving. It is the very high luster and well-defined crimp, along with the array of silver and gray shades that make the fleeces highly desirable to hand spinners, knitters and weavers.
Traditionally a dual purpose sheep, this fiber was established by the Vikings by crossing Karkul, Ramnov and native Swedish sheep. These three blends created the Gotland sheep with a surprisingly long staple length of 6.5 inches. The fiber has a clearly defined even curl and staple that is soft to the touch. The fleece is typically 29 to 35 microns in diameter. Lambs wool can be in the low to mid 20's micron range.
Gotland fleeces are similar to Wensleydale in luster but are not quite as soft. It is generally used as an outer wear fiber. Gotland wool is strong, lustrous and smooth when spun worsted and is light and soft when spun into a lofty woolen yarn. The wool felts easily with a smooth surface and strong hold, even when lightly felted. This is what makes Gotland wool the "felter's favorite".
Gotland wool is fine, long, lustrous and dense and can be all shades of grey from silver to charcoal and dark enough to be almost black. Traditional Gotland Gray is a rich blue-grey color that does not discolor in sun exposure. This is a great wool to add to your alpaca to give your yarn more memory! 7 Yaks Design has natural gray roving and several hand dyed colors including wedgewood, blackberry, teal, indigo, midnight and crushed grape.
All 7 Yaks Design fibers are hand dyed with professional dyes that are both lightfast and washfast for long lasting, fade resistant color.

Did you know that Alpaca does not have lanolin making it wonderfully hypoallergenic so that people who are affected by wool will not have a reaction? The hair shafts are hollow which makes them excellent insulators. It will keep you warmer than wool in the winter but breathes nicely too. This soft fleece is great to wear next to the skin!
Raw fleece still needs to be processed to rid it of dust and little pieces of vegetable matter.
Here is a quick tutorial for cleaning the fleece. (Only a minute long.)
And here is a short video showing how to card Alpaca once you have washed it.
Now all you need is the fleece.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent visit to Egypt should serve as a reminder to Western governments that political interests are not the only driving force in shaping international alliances.
When Putin visited his Egyptian counterpart in Cairo last week, much was made of the economic and military ties being forged between the two nations. While there were significant developments that could be beneficial to both countries, what draws the two nations together lies far deeper than anything discernible from a shared photo-op.
The histories of the two lands bear striking similarities that continue to shape their populations' national identities. Each country was repeatedly invaded by outsiders over millennia; each had modernizing rulers that brought in alien but transformational ideas from the West; each eventually had a strongly nationalistic revolution that formed the basis of its modern view of itself; and each is the dominant nation in its region. As a result, both Egyptians and Russians have a superiority-inferiority complex vis-a-vis the West--they rely on Western ideas, goods and money, and at the same time chafe at that reliance.
The leadership of both nations can be remarkably bombastic, all the more so when floundering. Both the Egyptian and Russian populations find solace and dignity in a strongman leader--exhibit A in each case being Putin and Sisi themselves. And both nations dabbled with democracy after political upheaval, but then decided they preferred a more authoritarian hand at their helm.
In many ways, Sisi and Putin are versions of one another. They both have backgrounds in intelligence, Sisi's in the army and Putin's in the KGB, and they are both viewed by many (and likely themselves) as saviors who rescued their nations from chaos. To see them together, it becomes clear that they share an understanding that goes beyond historical and cultural similarities.
During Putin's visit to Eygpt last week, the two appeared to be in the throes of a full-on bromance. Sisi met his Slavic counterpart at the airport before whisking him off through streets festooned with posters of the Russian leader's face. They began their evening together at the Cairo Opera House, where they shared a special screening of a film about the history of Egyptian-Russian relations. The two then dined atop the Cairo Tower, enjoying a dazzling view of the Nile and the twinkling city lights below.
Putin was not devoid of his own sweeping gesture: he presented Sisi with a Kalashnikov AK-47.
But the visit was about far more than gifting and dining. The next day the two got down to business and emerged from their private meeting with some substantive developments to announce. For starters, Russia pledged to help build a nuclear power plant in Egypt, where power shortages plague the populace, and to provide training and research. The two nations also plan establish a free-trade zone, and Russia said it will build an industrial city near Egypt's new Suez Canal development.
Both nations are in dire need of an economic boost and, equally saliently, both would like to be able to reduce their reliance on Western money, Russia because it is suffering under international sanctions and Egypt because it has been bristling at criticisms of its human rights record, as well as what it perceives as U.S. support of the Muslim Brotherhood. Engagement between the two countries allows Sisi to demonstrate to the U.S. that he has other options for military and financial aid and Putin to show the West that he is not isolated, despite the cold shoulder he's getting from Europe.
The West has had nothing but trouble in trying to bring both Russia and Egypt to heel, and with Greece now threatening to tilt East, it appears the Occidental-Oriental chasm is growing even wider, a gap that could threaten Western influence in the Middle East. As powerful a force as realpoitik may prove to be -- for now, Egypt remains reliant on U.S. and European support, and can only take its love affair with Russia so far--the West, and the United States in particular, would do well to take into account the cultural factors that affect its global partners.
The U.S. has long held that Egypt is of the utmost strategic importance in securing American interests in the region. Last week's visit from Putin, paired with a new deal to buy fighter jets from France, shows that, while Egypt may not be able to escape the ties that bind it to the United States, Sisi is intent on reducing Egypt's reliance on the U.S. As of now, none of the Nile-side nation's flirtations pose a serious threat to its dependence on American hardware, but the U.S. would do well to take the events of last week as an early warning that it will take more than guns and helicopters to keep Egypt sweet.

Meditation is one of my favorite techniques to free my mind and open my senses. It's much easier than you think and an exciting journey to your inner self.
I have found meditation at the age of 16. I have explored different techniques over time, but I didn't stick with any of it. We had an on and off affair ;) But some years ago I started to develop a consistent practice - and I'm far from breaking up wit it as it's getting better and better over time!
I'm also proud to present to you my very first sensuousmind video!
I didn't edit it, so it will be like we would sit together - with all the bloopers ;)
The challenge: commit to 5 Minutes of meditation for the next seven days.
Have fun and talk to you next week!
P.S.: It's more fun to face a challenge with friends. Forward it to your loved ones!


text: Yes! I'm in the gym as we speak. I'm doing some arm curls and some squats. Booty about to be on 🔥. It's been a long time since I've been able to get in the gym and work with the weights. I'm going to be honest with you. School set me back big time. School, work, kids, friends and trying to get to the gym got me nothing but SICK AND STRESSED. I had to 🛑, take a break and take care of me. But now I'm back to working out consistently and ready for this new body I'm trying to invest in. It's going to take some strong dedication. Believe me I'm down for it. I didn't want to get up this morning but I promised myself I would get in shape, not just for this upcoming summer, but to change my whole lifestyle. It's going to take some major time. I think I'm ready. Wait, I know I'm ready. Well at least, I made sure I stretched before doing anything this time. Last time I worked out without stretching got me a pulled muscle and those are no laughing matter. I couldn't walk for days. Another set back. Well the tread mill is waiting for me. No one else is in this gym but me so I really have no rush, but that would be another excuse…so I might as well get started with my cool down. Well bloggers gotta go. Till next time. "It's a mental thing, you wouldn't understand."

That Time Camden County Improvement Authority Gave The State Waterfront Property For $1 And Then The State Gave The Same Property To A Developer For $1/
What do you do when you're cleaning out files and find a piece of research that you couldn't use during a campaign because you had a seriously flawed candidate? If you're the co-host of a weekly radio show with a blog, you write about it.
And, when that piece of research involves a piece of waterfront property in the City of Camden at a time when big tax incentives and tearing down minor league baseball stadiums are in the news that piece of research becomes interesting.
The whole affair is a bit convoluted, but it all begins with the City of Camden vacating, as seen in the Camden City Planning Board Agenda of January 12, 2006, a paper street, Marina Drive, that sat in the middle of a part of the old surface parking lot near Campbell's Field, where the Camden Riversharks played minor league baseball. It just so happens this piece of parking lot happens to be in the middle of the building project for the new Camden Tower.
After Marina Drive was vacated it appears, based on Quitclaim Deeds, the Camden County Improvement Authority transferred waterfront property that included the paper street Marina Drive in the City of Camden to The New Jersey Economic Development Authority for "the sum of ONE and 00/100 Dollars ($1.00)" on June 16, 2016.
And it gets better! On November 28, 2016 The New Jersey Economic Development Authority transferred the property via a Quitclaim Deed to "Camden Town Center, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company, whose address is c/o Liberty Property Limited Partnership, 1628 John F. Kennedy Boulevard, Suite 1100, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103."
I could be wrong, but this appears to be quite the sweetheart deal. As I understand it, typically when developers are faced with a similar situation they purchase the property at market rate or have the municipality condemn it so it can be acquired through eminent domain. Obviously, none of that happened in this situation.
To add insult to injury it appears the Delaware River Port Authority folks were a lot smarter than the folks at the Camden County Improvement Authority or The New Jersey Economic Development Authority. They finally dumped their TRAM over the Delaware River by selling property.
So, there you have it folks. Read the documents and weep because it appears the sweetheart deals on the Camden waterfront involve more than tax incentives.

- 1 pound cod or haddock filet
- 12 ounce IPA or pale ale of your choice (citrusy, fruity, hoppy IPAs are best)
- 2 cups flour (plus 1/2 cup for dredging)
- 2–3 cups vegetable or canola oil (1/2 – 1 inch of oil in pan for frying)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- pinch of paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- lemon wedges, for serving
- Pour 12 ounce IPA into a medium bowl, whisk in 2 cups of flour, one cup at a time, until smooth. Add garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Whisk and let sit for 10 minutes while prepping the fish. Place 1/2 cup of flour on a plate. Set aside.
- In a large dutch oven or cast iron skillet, bring 1/2 – 1 inch of oil to 365° F. If you don't have a candy thermometer, place on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until oil is hot (you can test by adding a small sliver of fish, you want it to simmer vigorously when fish is added).
- Meanwhile, cut the cod filet into 4 equal pieces, pat dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
- Dredge cod filets in flour, and then submerge in the beer batter. Let excess drip off and then immediately transfer to the oil. Fry each piece for 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once until golden brown.
- Place cod filets on a paper towel lined plate to drain for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges, ketchup, tarter sauce, and rosemary fries.

9 Fictional Politicians Hillary Clinton Could Take Advice From Now That She's Running For President
Excuse me while I pick myself up off the floor after slipping in my own pool of happy tears because Hillary Rodham Clinton is officially running for President of The United States of America. She's been hinting quite heavily over the past few years that she would run, but, on Sunday, she finally made it official. Now, my dream of Clinton and Ruth Bader Ginsburg having a "Crush the Patriarchy" ladies luncheon Washington is even closer! The former Secretary of State, Senator, and First Lady already has a leg up in the primaries because she's been there before — after all, Clinton previously campaigned for presidency in 2008 (but ultimately she lost the candidacy to Barack Obama). So, I'm calling it now: 2016 looks like it will be the Year of Clinton.
If Clinton wins the primaries, she'll be the first female candidate to run for the Commander In Chief position. Needless to say, every news outlet (not to mention Saturday Night Live ) would have a major field day with it — but, going even further, Clinton's campaign could actually mean a lot for the entertainment industry. We've had a few female Presidents of the United States on the small screen, but Clinton's historical run could also influence the way Hollywood writes politicians. They could, y'know... write them for women. Crazy!
Now that she's officially announced her campaign, Clinton has a long road ahead of her — so here are some tips from our favorite fictional politicians to help get her through it all. Go Clinton!
Leslie Knope (Parks And Recreation) On How to Run a Successful Second Campaign
I'd vote for that.
President Selina Meyer (Veep) On Dealing With The Gender Bias
President Jed Bartlet (The West Wing) On Commanding Presidential Authority
When Clinton stands, NOBODY SITS.
Senator Smith (Mr. Smith Goes To Washington) On Standing Up For What You Believe is Right
No matter how long it takes, take your stand and give your piece to speak.
President Lisa Simpson (The Simpsons) On How to Explain Fiscal Solvency
With song!
Senator Kevin Keeley (The Birdcage) On How To Take Florida
Campaign hard in Miami!
President Thomas J. Whitmore (Independence Day) On Giving The Executive Order For War
Throw in a Dylan Thomas reference when possible, it softens the blow.
Congressman Ben Wyatt (Parks And Recreation) On Dealing With the Press
Call them out on their bull, Clinton.
President Allison Taylor (24) On International Negotiations
That. Do that.

Jain Temple, dedicated to Shri Dharmanath, the 15th Jain Tirthankar, is another religious institution of Mattancherry.
Built in 1960, the temple complex is sprawled over a large area with various blocks constructed for prayers and as places for offerings.
On entering the premises the first thing pilgrims notice is the imposing temple gate which is a gateway to the beautiful architecture and splendour of our rich heritage. The temple looks colourful and has lots of cut stones in beige colour adding to the spectacle. The temple buildings are beautifully sculpted and even the pavements that lead to the sanctum sanctorum of the Tirthankar Dharmanath is architecturally perfect and the whole area is clean and peaceful. There is a beautiful picture of Gajalakshmi sitting on the lotus placed over the gates of the temple. The pillars here are curved elephant trunk brackets quite similar to the Jain Dilwara temple of Mount Abu. The entire marble interior of the temple is adorned with artworks and beautifully arranged with the sculptured pillars and idols of Jain Gods and Tirthankars. The walls of the shrines have many Jain holy pilgrimage places depicted in detail.
The architecture of the temple is inspired by the Jain temples of Gujarat.
