The initial exploration focus is on Palm Springs West, an under-explored target with historic high-grade gold, silver and copper showings covering two claim blocks contiguous to Colorado Resources' KSP Property. The program will then shift east to ground immediately adjacent to the past producing Eskay Creek mine.
High-priority areas at Palm Springs West include:
The Company cautions investors that dated historic sample assay results, as defined by NI-43-101, have not been verified.

Binary Options Trading Signals dramatically simplify trading of any sort. No Stop Losses to worry about, no Target Prices to aim for. No "pips" to count, no "spikes" to fear. Returns are Instant, and losses are fixed at your initial investment!
Unlike ANY other forms of trading, Binary Options Trading Signals allow you to trade the ups and downs of ANY financial instrument, be that Forex, Stocks, Indices or Commodities. Trade ALL markets under ONE trading account!
When profitable trades are spotted, their Binary Options Trading Signals are sent to members INSTANTLY. No more missing any "Open Prices". Simply place trades on the market in the next hour or two after receiving signals via SMS, Email or Both!
If you've never heard of Binary Options before, you probably trade Forex, Stocks, Commodities and/or Indices using several different technical and fundamental analysis strategies to "hone in" on just the right Entry Price, the tightest possible Stop Loss, the most sensible Take Profit and the most modest duration over which you'd like your trade to run.
As someone who doesn't trade Binary Options Signals, you're probably used to sitting glued to your screen watching every tick that moves on the market. You have to revise your Stop Loss / Risk Management Strategy multiple times over months, days, hours, sometimes even minutes.
Some trades go your way, some don't.
You select your ideal profit targets to remain within 2:1 or above Reward:Risk, but somehow, that usually comes down to about 1:1 or 1:1.5 over the course of the year.
You make more mistakes tampering with your trades than you do when they run through to completion without you having touched or even wathced them once during the day. Everything fast becomes very stressful and an upcoming weekend that would have been spent doing anything BUT trading, is spent stressing about where the market will go next week and what that means for your trades that have rolled over into the weekend..
Sound familiar? Sure does to us..
Let's get something very clear -- Binary Options are NO DIFFERENT from financial trading of any other sort. They are just MUCH simpler to trade, have fixed risk before you launch into trades, and remove all the hassles of trading the financial markets.
How are Binary Options Signals different from other forms of trading?

The young man pictured above is Shohei Otani – the flame-throwing high school phenom out of Japan. The story about this kid is that he can dial it up to about 99 MPH on occasion at just 18 years old, and because of this, he has drawn instant comparisons to Yu Darvish. Patrick Newman at NPB Tracker says it best when he says, "Otani also has a similarly live arm, though with a little more velocity and a lot less polish than Darvish exhibited as a high schooler." (You can read that article here if you are interested. It is a nice scouting report complete with some video.) I came across the small blurb on MLBTR about two days ago and he caught my attention.
So now comes the matter of why this kid is so special. Apparently, he has been considering making the jump over to the MLB right away at 18 and skipping out on the NPB draft, which takes place in two days. This has basically been confirmed, but I do not want to jump on that statement. He creates a really interesting situation because of that. See, Otani is technically an International Free Agent if he jumps over right now, which means he would count against the new cap placed on IFA signings.
Now, while you hear the names of the Dodgers, Red Sox, Rangers, Orioles, and Yankees tossed around with him, it did not discourage me enoguh to pen a small piece on him. This is where it gets a little dicey because I am by no means an expert on the matter of IFA. Basically, if I make a mistake here, a correction and explanation would be great.
The cap resets on July 2nd of next year (2013) so if the Mets want to sign him, they have to use the money allotted for 2012. Becuse Otani is an IFA, he is limited to the IFA signing bonus cap, which I believe is around $2.9 MM. The Mets have already spent $1.75 MM on Amed Rosario (using the spelling BA released) – a 16-year old shortstop. I do not know much about the Mets IFA pool, but on average, we can guess they have about $1 MM to throw as a bonus to Otani. From there, he would enter the system as any other IFA would at the discretion of the team.
A team can go over the cap by up to 5% by paying a tax while going over any further limits the amount of money you can shell out to IFAs in the following years. Of course, this is the Mets, so you should not expect any overages…especially for minor league players, how crazy would that be? Investing over-slot type money for a prospect… The 5% would amount to about 3.075 MM, without including the 75% tax on the overage.
I expect Otani to sign before July of next year, but I am disappointed because I have heard basically nothing about the Mets trying to court this guy. I would honestly offer whatever money we have left in our IFA budget until next July to the guy. The reason I find myself so enamored with Otani is the fact that he would have the time to go through an MLB minor league system and develop as any other raw prospect would. If you all remember, just a little while back in 2009, the Mets had reps looking at Yusei Kikuchi, who decided to stay in Japan after much deliberation.
Bottom line, Otani could or could not pan out. He is raw, but as an MLB GM, could you really complain about adding a prospect for $2.9 MM who can bring at 100 mph? I wish the Mets could go after him, but in all honesty, all signs point to nothing. But go ahead guys, go off – How do you feel about the IFA SB cap or the IFA market in general? If we had all $2.9 MM free, would you spend it all on Otani? Lastly, where do you expect him to sign? The smart money is either on the Red Sox or the Rangers, I believe.
By the way, if you missed the last episode of MMO Radio, which features myself and Pete Shapiro discussing the 40-man roster and the 2012 AAA/AA seasons, you can catch it on demand/podcast right here.

LCD projectors, AV Receivers and their features
The essential element of the movie theater experience in your home theatre is sound. The way this is implemented in a home theater system is with either an AV receiver. An AV Receiver usually combines the functions of three components. They are, radio tuner for AM/FM, A Preamplifier and a built-in Multi-channel amplifier. AV receiver has the main features like
1. Amplification
Stereo receivers have two channels of amplification, while AV receivers may have more than two. The standard for AV receiver is five channels of amplification. These are usually referred to as 5.1 receivers. This provides for a left, right, center, left surround and right surround speaker to be powered by the receiver. 7.1 receivers are becoming more common and provide for two additional surround channels, left rear surround and right rear surround. The ".1" refers to the LFE channel the signal of which is usually sent to an amplified subwoofer unit.
2. Decoders
AV receivers usually provide one or more decoders for sources with more than two channels of audio information. This is most common with movie soundtracks, which use one of a variety of different types of encoding formats. The different formats are Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital. As the numbers of playback channels were increased on receivers, other decoders have been added to some receivers.
3. DSP effects
Most receivers offer specialized Digital Signal Processors (DSP) made for handling various presets and audio effects. Some may offer simple equalizers and balance adjustments to complex DSP audio field simulations such as "Hall", "Arena", "Opera", etc. that simulate or attempt to replicate as if the audio were being played in the places through use of surround sound and echo effects.
4. AV inputs/outputs
There are a variety of possible connections on an AV receiver. Standard connectors include
• Analog audio connections usually use RCA plugs in stereo pairs. Inputs and outputs are both common. Outputs are provided mainly for cassette tape decks
• Digital connections allow for the transmission of PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS audio. Common devices include CD players, DVD players, or satellite receivers
• Composite video connections use a single RCA plug on each end. Composite video is standard on all AV receivers allowing for the switching of video devices such as VHS players, cable boxes, and game consoles.
• S-Video connections offer better quality than composite video. It uses a DIN jack.
• SCART connections generally offer the best quality video at standard-definition; due to the use of pure RGB signaling. SCART provides video and audio in one connection.
• Component video has become the best connection for analog video as higher definitions such as 720p have become common. The Ypbpr signaling provides a good compromise between resolution and color definition.
• HDMI is becoming common on AV receivers. It provides for the transmission of both audio and video. HDMI is relatively new technology and there are reported issues with devices not properly working with each other, especially cable/satellite boxes connected to a display through an AV receiver.
5. Video conversion and up scaling on LCD Projector
Some AV Receivers can convert from one video format to another. This is commonly called up conversion or transcoding. A smaller number of receivers provide for de-interlacing of video signals.
6. Radio on AVRs
AV receivers though primarily used for amplification may or may not have an inbuilt AM/FM radio tuner among other features such as LAN connectivity for various Internet applications and some with multi-room audio solutions.
David Raju - About Author:
Avezone is the mall having the products like AV Receiver , home theatre systems, cables, screens, amplifiers, LCD projector and other home theater at low price.

text: Daisy is a purebred strawberry-buff cocker spaniel. I did purchase her but could not find a rescue dog at the time. We have had 3 other rescues before here--sadly, all have lived out their lives--wish I could have all of them at once. Daisy is a delight, she is loving, smart, funny, and a great singer. She still acts like a puppy even though she is almost eight years old. She is incredibly healthy which is a blessing; she is the first of our pups that had not been so inbred they had terrible ongoing problems. Her favorite this in the world is to take daily walks with her dad and Buck; we live in the boonies and she runs through the woods and scares up turkeys [she would never hurt them!] and just has a wonderful time. She is a wonderful lap dog, also and just the right size for a lap. She comes from a long line of singing dogs - she was a puppy with Dave [our black Engish cocker we rescued in Denver]. Dave taught her to sing. Daisy and Buck are wonderful companions and I often forget they are pups they are so sweet and intelligent.Add to Favorites

What does Yukio Mishima think patriotism is? Well, if you know anything about his history, you can probably guess.
Knowing that, I have to say, detracted from the reading experience. It's clear from chapter one what will happen, and I had made a pretty good guess just from the title. Scene by scene, all I could think was, is this what you did too?
That said, the actual scene-by-scene is pretty good. Seppuku is a ritual, and this story is all about ritual. Mishima makes that very clear in his structure. The first chapter, barely a page long, provides a full report of the incident from beginning to end. It's practically a newspaper report. The date, the name, the circumstance, the location, and most importantly the clinical description:
On the twenty-eighth of February, 1936 (on the third day, that is, of the February 26 Incident), Lieutenant Shinji Takeyama of the Konoe Transport Battalion—profoundly disturbed by the knowledge that his closest colleagues had been with the mutineers from the beginning, and indignant at the imminent prospect of Imperial troops attacking Imperial troops—took his officer's sword and ceremonially disemboweled himself in the eight-mat room of his private residence in the sixth block of Aoba-cho, in Yotsuya Ward. His wife, Reiko, followed him, stabbing herself to death.
That's it. That's the whole story. But after that follow some fifty more (small) pages detailing the ritual, beginning with the couple's wedding just six months earlier. They've anticipated this moment since their wedding night, Reiko just as ready as her husband, and Mishima takes us through slowly and deliberately—just like the movements of the couple. The narration is impressive in its steadiness and unflinching willingness to face the details of the event.
He returned to consciousness. The blade had certainly pierced the wall of the stomach, he thought. His breathing was difficult, his chest thumped violently, and in some far deep region, which he could hardly believe was a part of himself, a fearful and excruciating pain came welling up as if the ground had split open to disgorge a boiling stream of molten rock. The pain came suddenly nearer, with terrifying speed. The lieutenant bit his lower lip and stifled an instinctive moan.
Was this seppuku—he was thinking. It was a sensation of utter chaos, as if the sky had fallen on his head and the world was reeling drunkenly. His will power and courage, which had seemed so robust before he made the incision, had now dwindled to something like a single hairlike thread of steel, and he was assailed by the uneasy feeling that he must advance along this thread, clinging to it with desperation.
Compared with that first page of clinical reportage, the rest of the story makes the reader feel he's clinging to just that same thread of steel and being dragged along to the finish. It's a little bit hard to face.
I loved the structure. I loved the language, the control. But it's impossible to ignore the emotion, the patriotism, and knowing as we do exactly what the author thought of that…I couldn't help being distracted, disturbed, intrigued, curious…in other words, distracted. But I can't honestly say it isn't a good story.

Former Salvadoran colonel faces extradition, trial for 1989 murder of six Jesuits
February 05, 2016
A court in North Carolina has approved a request for the extradition of a former Salvadoran army officer, so that he can face trial in Spain on charges connected with the 1989 murder of six Jesuit priests in El Salvador.
The court found that substantial evidence showed that Orlando Montano Morales was "a decision-maker and member of a group of officers who collectively ordered the unlawful killings of Jesuit priests." If the Secretary of State approves, he will be sent to Spain for trial.
Spain-- whose prosecutors have aggressively pursued allegations of human-rights violations in other countries-- had indicted the former Salvadoran army colonel along with nineteen others. Montano, who has lived in the US since the early 2000s, was the only potential defendant who could be extradited to face the Spanish charges. The others, living in El Salvador, are protected by an amnesty that covers participants in the country's civil war.
Montano has insisted that he is innocent of involvement in the Jesuits' murders.

Cohen in Zurich last year was utterly brilliant. (Are you familiar with the wonderful Iowa songwriter Greg Brown?)
How miserably different my life would be without Dylan, Cohen, and Lou Reed. Eww, I hate to think of it.
LC is one of my gods.
Greg Brown also does "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" sometimes (and lots of Dylan, too).
I was amazed by how simple Thompson's playing seemed on that video! Simple in the sense of not complicated, not simple in the sense of easy to do!
Terrific taste in music…you must love Warren Zevon as well, it is hoped…

"Embossing historical events like the Kennedy assassination with artificial newsworthiness has long been a part of the news game," but the media's recent re-telling of the event "stinks of redundancy," says Jack Shafer at Reuters. It also illustrates how "the editors and producers who control news media are mostly boomers older than 55, who like all the generations before them frequently confuse important things that happened when they were young for news," he says.
JFK assassination is no longer news
6 Responses
What an obnoxious editorial. A much beloved political figure is remembered on the 50th anniversry of his assasination and that is compared to undigested food in a cows stomach? I suppose in 50 years we should all forget about 9/11 or D-Day as well, after all, history is just so cumbersome. Much more interesting and relevant topics out there like the unending celebrity worship and corporate drivel that passes for "news" today. That a Reuters writer penned this garbage is beyond laughable given the trivial crap they put out day after day.
While the piece is pretty harsh, there has been an excessive amount of coverage on the Kennedy assassination. Clearly, it's an important historical event, tragic, and should never be forgotten. What I find grating is all the fawning being done by the media. I doubt a Republican with similar character flaws would get the same adulation. It's a horrific chapter in our nation's history. I just wish the media wasn't so inclined to make the man out to be something he's not.
I am sure most of the Country does not think the same as this writer. Unfortunately, people/media like to stir controversy just for their own glorification….as in this case.
I agree totally with Jeffrey. Maybe the Baby Boomers (me included) should care more about Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga or Alec Baldwin. The assassination will always play an integral part in the lives of people who lived through this and it certainly is one of the most traumatic news events in the lives of Baby Boomers. The day JFK was shot felt like the whole country had been shot and I will always remember it vividly.
Agree fully #1. I think he was trying to get attention without really having anything to say.
This just in…World War II is no longer new either, since it happened before most of the people alive today were born. Signed, the short attention span generation.

Mdma And The Breaking Down Of BarriersI usually take ecstasy about once a month cause my experiences on ecstasy are better when spaced apart. The first time i took it was november of 09 at a Tiesto concert. It was unlike anything ive ever felt. As the rush of happiness was increasing, my perspective on the crowd changed dramatically. Its as if everybody was somehow familiar. It went from an awkwardness to a feeling of a connection to everyone. It was the best 6 hours of my life. All of my inhibitions we non existent. I mustve talked to about at least 20 people that night. Id say it even woke me up to how beautiful life really is.
Everyday i step out of my house, I get a rush of energy just by looking up at the sky or admiring trees, flowers, grass. It feels as if everything is alive and saying, "hi." Life definitely would've never been the same without this ecstasy experience. It brought me to a higher level of awareness on life. I wouldnt say its addicting because i havent had an urge stronger than i would get for a chocolate bar. But i'd say the urge to use it often varies depending on your level of happiness. If you're depressed, it only makes sense for you to urge it more.
Another thing that ecstasy has shown me was the feeling of detaching from the ego(mind created-self). Its shown me how it feels to detach and that its ok. This is only an experience and when it's my turn to leave, it'll be ok. I got this in the sense of feelings through dancing at a rave. I was no longer identifying with myself and i just danced and danced... just for the joy of being.
Ofcourse if you're wise, you'll do research before you test out any drug and get yourself a test kit to make sure theres some kind of mdma in it. It sucks how pure mdma is hard to come by nowadays... PLUR
couldnt have worded it better
I kinda wish I could try this, but I never get out to raves and my community is more of a mexicans and crack place... :/ Plus I've heard that nowadays they mix it with meth and goodness knows what else - I'd be scared of getting one mixed with bath salts.
Great post and typical of an MDMA experience.
Ignorign the Governmental and social restrictions, MDMA is a very powerful substance that can bring about profound changes in people's experience of the world, to a degree that science seems to be ignoring.
I recently saw a program on television about a couple, one of which had a terminal condition. It made their relationship extremely difficult as you could imagine.
Someone (or group) suggested both of them taking MDMA one evening. A irresponsible suggestion you might think and an equally irresponsible decision to do so.
The fact of the matter is ecstacy breaks down ALL social and mental barriers between friends, lovers and strangers alike. You are able to connect to people in a way you could only imagine.
Hence the one night these two people - now strangers to each other after the emotionnal strains a terminal illness can summon, brought them together in a oneness, understanding, loving, accepting, peaceful way one can only imagine. Talking about the things they feared to talk about, accepting their love for each other, accepting the inevitable loss each other will experience and bringing peace between the two that no other drug or therapy can achieve.
There are very useful applications for drugs like MDMA.
Sex and clubbing on it is ******* amazing too.
disclaimer: MDMA is ILLEGAL in most countries and you should not be breaking the law.
isn't it legal in holland or one of those dutch places?
Totally agree with everything in this post. Since doing MD a while back I found that my picture of the world had changed and my awareness of self and surroundings had also changed. The confidence, the self belief and overall sense of happiness I got while on mdma was just mind blowing.
Thank you for Sharing your Experience. My first experience with E was a pill cut with Yayo. Mixing an upper w/ a downer is not that great. But the experience was pretty awesome. and having a kit is definitely a must if you wanna be as safe as possible about things.

How it works
How It Works
EMAR is a contactless, resonance spectroscopy NDT technique for use on metals and non-metallic materials that are electrically conductive. At its core it is a real time measurement of material elasticity and, like traditional UT, velocities of sound. But unlike UT or any other NDT technique, EMAR is also a measurement of the complete spectrum of physical and chemical properties that affect elastic behavior in materials.
EMAT Sensors + Acoustic Resonance
A specialized probe design and a spectroscopy method work together in EMAR and make up the Acoustic Resonance Inspection System line of NDT products.
Resonance Mode-Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducers (RM-EMAT) are ultrasonic probe types that use magnetic fields and a Lorenz force mechanism to excite resonance with no direct contact nor the use of coupling fluids.
Relatives of the RM-EMAT are used in guided wave ultrasonic test systems but the two sensor types are not interchangeable. RM-EMATs lack the ability to create long travel acoustic waves and Guided Wave-EMATs cannot generate the multiple narrow band resonant modes required for spectroscopy analyses.
- A transmitting RM-EMAT sensor is located near the surface of a part or material and forces the part into resonance at a restricted number of its natural resonant modes using a narrow band, swept frequency excitation signal.
- A similar receiving sensor picks-up the resonance events in the material with the same method and presents the modulated signal for processing.
Spectroscopy Technique
The important distinction between EMAR and traditional Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy (RUS or RAS) is in the use of EMAT sensors. EMATs are not used to force the entire part into resonance but instead create localized, acoustic fields in the areas directly near the sensor faces. With EMATs resonances are analyzed in a much narrower band and generally at higher frequencies. EMATs also are selective in excitation and detection of resonant modes. They are designed to pick-up only modes that contain relevant acoustic information about the materials evaluation task at hand. Enhanced control over size, band, and modes is the basis for a very low noise and high sensitivity resonance based NDT technique.
Test Implementation
In practice, an integrated EMAR test procedure will often overcome small active test areas by incorporating motion controlled sensors or moving test subjects. These systems work by examining many small, bounded areas in rapid succession to get a comprehensive look at longer, larger, or more geometrically complex test subjects.
An internal combustion engine valve is a highly engineered and high performance component which serves as a good example of testing by EMAR. Instead of a valve stem resonating as a string or rod along its length, consider that the stem resonance can be thought of as hundreds of smaller strings that vibrate at significantly higher frequencies through its diameter. An EMAR test is a lengthwise scan of the stem in which each of the strings are excited and analyzed individually yielding finer defect detection.
Resonance is through thickness and so it is equally sensitive to surface and internal defects.
A non-destructive test of metals is made by observing changes to resonant signals within a part or from part to part. The analytical methods can be made to include both supervised training algorithms and calibrated quantitative measurements which are extremely responsive to small changes.

Revision as of 14:15, 2 April 2014
Update the GHC Haskell compiler to the major new 7.8 release, and update/rebuild all Haskell packages against it.
- Name: Jens Petersen, Ricky Elrod, Haskell_SIG
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com
- Release notes owner:
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 21
- Last updated: 2014-04-01
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
Detailed Description
- The involves updating ghc from 7.6.3 to 7.8.1 (or later), and rebuilding/updating all Fedora Haskell packages.
- The initial work will be done locally offline to make sure that it is possible to build all our packages with ghc-7.8 and the latest updated libraries.
- This may also include building with the llvm backend to ensure that building on ARM will work.
- Once that is completed, building will be done into Koji for rawhide and testing done.
Benefit to Fedora
GHC 7.8 is major new version of the major Haskell compiler with many new features and enhancements. See the upstream release notes link below for more details on the changes.
For example the new runtime I/O manager scales significantly better for larger workloads compared to the previous one: it should scale linearly up to approximately 32 cores (reference).
- Proposal owners:
- locally test rebuilding and updating of all packages
- update macros to subpackage static libraries
- push changes to Koji
- testing
- Other developers:
- If you own a package which contains some Haskell code built with ghc you will need to rebuild you package to make sure it still rebuilds with ghc-7.8. Feel free to contact the Haskell SIG if we need assistance with fixing any build breakage, and we will try to help out.
- Release engineering: not required
- Policies and guidelines:
- There may be some lesser changes to the Haskell Packaging Guidelines needed - they could be done after this Change.
Upgrade/compatibility impact
- Upgrading will be tested and should Just Work.
- Local user code may need some minor changes to build with ghc-7.8.
How To Test
- yum install ghc cabal-install cabal-rpm pandoc xmonad git-annex hledger
- Check these packages install, run correctly, and can build Haskell and Hackage packages.
User Experience
User using GHC to programming or develop in Haskell will benefit from the new features and performance enhancements of the latest version of the ghc compiler. Additionally various package upgrades will also improve the experience for users of Haskell packages.
GHC 7.8.1 will be released soon. There will probably be a 7.8.2 bugfix release which would be good to target
There are a few packages outside the Haskell SIG that use ghc for some part of their build. Assistance can be provided if needed to build them with latest ghc.
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: revert ghc to current 7.6.3 and rebuild other packages if necessary (Proposal Owners)
- Contingency deadline: Beta Freeze
- Blocks release: No
- Blocks product: N/A

I attend Watermark Community Church here in Dallas, and today during the service, we watched segments from the Memorial Service for slain Dallas police officer Michael Smith. Smith, 56, was a Watermark member and was killed in the downtown Dallas ambush of law enforcement officers a little over a week ago. He was a former Army Ranger, and a strong Christian man of faith. As the family sat at our routine after church meal, I received a text message — it had happened again.
In Baton Rouge we have six law enforcement officers shot, three killed. This comes after the police there broke up a plot of several individuals with stolen weapons from a local pawn store with the intent of killing police officers. Just two days ago, we joined our neighbors across the street by displaying a flag to honor our fallen members of the Thin Blue Line. We will continue to fly this standard in respect to these men and women of the line, and until this scourge ends.
However, it will continue until we have the "first black president" come out and speak with such stentorian manner against these wanton ambushes and shootings — just as strongly as he expresses his racially divisive rants on prejudice, bias, and "social justice."
The time has come when we must clearly delineate racist speech and intent and declare organizations such as Black Lives Matter and the New Black Panther Party as domestic terrorist organizations.
Free speech is something we should all champion, but, when a group chants, "what do we want, dead cops, when do we want them, now" and "pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon"…that is not free speech, it is indeed hate speech. And it should be rejected by all of us, and those groups shunned.
We should not celebrate such groups and allow them access to the White House — ya know what I mean Mr. President? I'm quite sure if any white president sat down with members of the Ku Klux Klan or any white supremacist group –oh, that's right, everyone went nuts on Donald Trump for not quickly enough denouncing David Duke.
So why the double standard of Barack Obama just having a nice chat and praising a group fueling the flames of racial hatred against our law enforcement officers?
Perhaps, Obama — just as he is an Islamist sympathizer — embraces the BLM goals and objectives, their raison d'être — which is contradictory to truth and civil order.
To all the men and women of the Thin Blue Line who safeguard our freedoms and ensure domestic tranquility and uphold justice — I "Back the Blue." I reject this BLM group along with the New Black Panther Party and see little difference between them and the Muslim Brotherhood — another group Obama embraces.
Why? Perhaps you haven't seen the despicable drawing image of a white police officer being beheaded by a black person dressed in ISIS-like garb. And the fact that an NFL football player shared that image in what has to be seen as agreement is disgusting — and the NFL should release that player.
What about all these athletes wearing their black tee shirts and making statements — such as was done at the Espy Awards recently? Perhaps they shouldn't have the armed protection of police officers so they can make hundreds and thousands and millions of dollars — compare that to the paychecks of those whom they denigrate.
This must end, but it unfortunately will not as long as we elect the radical progressive socialists into positions of power in America.
We must restore this Republic, restore civil society and order — and that doesn't happen with the folks of the new American Socialist Party, the acolytes of Saul Alinsky.
I remember when I was running for Congress in South Florida and meeting with the Broward and Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Association (PBA) for an endorsement interview. On every occasion before we began, the words were to the effect, look Colonel West, we know your brother was a police officer in Atlanta and how well you support our law enforcement officers.
But, we could never support you because you are a Republican and our union wouldn't allow it. So I just have to ask, are these police unions ok with supporting the party that turns their back on the Blue?
Are these unions cool with Obama inviting BLM to the White House and Hillary Clinton sharing their hashtag and castigating the police as attacking black males?
When we ponder what's happened recently in just the past week — Dallas, Nice, Baton Rouge, Istanbul, Bangladesh, Orlando…there's a serious issue with security and civil order. The legacy of Barack Obama will not be one of law and order, strength and resolve — it will be one of insecurity, fecklessness, weakness, and racial divisiveness.
C'mon folks, BACK THE BLUE!

The just published final thoughts of conservative legal giant Robert Bork, blocked from the Supreme Court in a Democratic witch hunt, reveal his deep concerns that the high court has taken a turn for the worse and is a threat to American freedom
"We are now being ruled in some of our most crucial cultural and moral issues by judges who have acquired the power, but certainly not the authority, to take those decisions out of our hands," he frets in "Saving Justice," published after the longtime Constitutional authority died last December.
"With each issue it takes out of the hands of the people in order to please the elites, the Supreme Court moves from being what my friend Alex Bickel called 'the least dangerous branch of government,' to a place where it can lay fair claim to being the most dangerous," wrote Bork.
His book focuses mostly on his days during the Nixon administration, but he ends Saving Justice with the blast at the nation's judges and the Supreme Court.
"There is good reason to believe that this authoritarianism has become an inherent characteristic of most judges every since the time they realized the full extent of their power and their relative invulnerability. In that capacity, they continue their attack on the basic structure of the law by filling the categories of law with politics. Originalism provides hope that the constitutional structure of our country will be maintained," he concluded.
In the book, the Watergate-era solicitor general also revealed that former President Richard Nixon's August 1974 resignation would have come much earlier without the naming of two special prosecutors.
"The appointment of a special prosecutor probably delayed Nixon's exit from office," he wrote shortly before his death in the new autobiography "Saving Justice." The reason: It took valuable time to detail the department's case against Nixon to the two special prosecutors, Archibald Cox and Leon Jaworski.
"Until the arrival of Archibald Cox, the investigation into the Watergate break-in had been conducted by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington under the direction of Earl Silbert. Working assiduously, Silbert had much of the case already made by the time he handed Cox an 87-page memorandum summarizing his investigation's findings so far," wrote Bork. "It is fair to estimate that the material given to Cox composed 90 percent of the final case against Nixon."
Bork fired Cox in the famous "Saturday Night Massacre," one of the notable events being studied at several Washington venues this month, the 40th anniversary of the pivotal year in the Watergate probe.
Cox was appointed in May 1973. After he refused Nixon's October deal to get the famous Watergate tapes, the president ordered Justice to fire Cox. The attorney general and his No. 2 resigned instead, leaving it to Bork, who ended up being acting attorney general.
Bork considered quitting too, but felt that would let Nixon put a crony in charge of Justice, likely leading to mass resignations. So he stayed, fired Cox, and eventually moved back down the ladder when a new attorney general was confirmed.
Bork, most famous for the Democratic witch hunt that blocked his elevation to the Supreme Court, wrote that he didn't use the perks of the attorney general's office while he was acting AG. For example, he refused the government-supplied limo, saying, "I don't enjoy playing Queen for a day." Instead, he drove his old Volvo. Only two of four cylinders worked so "I had to take several runs to get the car up the ramp out of the department's garage."

Build Up To Match v Newcastle
Martin O'Neill has said, ahead of our trip to St James Park tonight:
'I think it's a great stadium to play in. I think there's just a special atmosphere around St James' and the stadium has improved beyond all recognition in recent years. I think the players just need to go out, having taken a bit of confidence from winning a game and with the addition of players. Every single player, no matter what you tell them generally, will have their own thoughts on the game and how they approach it. I'm pleased that we've made some changes and I think those changes were necessary for the side. Now I'm hoping the players that have come in can have a relatively injury-free time.'
'I've no doubt that Ashley will prove value for money, without a doubt. Hopefully, if Carew can stay fit, he'll certainly prove it. He hasn't played much football this season, but I knew that to begin with. He himself will feel he needs a bit more work and I'm sure that the best of him will be over a period of time. I'm not expecting miracles from the two players at all. It would be nice for them to settle in pretty quickly, but I'm hoping the best is still to come from both of them.'
John Carew will score tonight, trust me!!
O'Neill added: 'We have obviously got a lift from winning the game (at home). Newcastle are a fantastic football club, magnificent support, and I am hoping that we can go up there with a bit of confidence from having won. But we know that with the players they have, think it will be difficult for us. The boy Martins has exploded into it, Kieron Dyer is coming back. He has been a majestic player.'
Glenn 'would even bore a bit of cardboard' Roeder said: 'We never really got going at Villa Park and it was a bad day for us, so we are looking to put this right tomorrow night.'
John Carew and Ashley Young are both in the squad and Stiliyan Petrov is also fit to return after his hamstring injury.
Newcastle (from): Harper, Srnicek, Carr, Edgar, Taylor, Bramble, Huntington, Butt, Parker, Milner, Duff, Pattison, Troisi, Gate, Martins, Dyer, Sibierski, Luque, Carroll, LuaLua.
Aston Villa (from): Sorensen, Taylor, Bardsley, Hughes, Mellberg, Cahill, Ridgewell, Bouma, Agbonlahor, Petrov, Davis, Osbourne, McCann, Barry, Carew, Young, Angel.
Last season: Newcastle United 1-1 Aston Villa
Shearer 32 pen McCann 75
This season: Aston Villa 2-0 Newcastle United
Moore 3, Angel 38
Mark Lawrenson says on the BBC site: 'Villa got the win they desperately needed against Watford to halt their slide and get themselves back on track. Newcastle have got one or two injured players coming back but I can see Villa getting their tactics right to get a draw.' and predicts 1-1
Mystic Mug says John Carew to score and bring home all 3 points for Villa in a 1-0 win.
Our latest poll asked what the result tonight would be. Seems the positivity is back amongst Villa fans as 71% are predicting a win. 16% say a draw and only 13% predict a loss.

Fire Station Number 6 in North Memphis is no longer on the chopping block — at least for now. The Memphis City Council's public safety committee voted to delay its closure, which would have occurred August 1st as a result of citywide budget cuts, until September 1st.
Councilmen Joe Brown and Lee Harris plan to introduce a proposal in two weeks to provide the Memphis Fire Department with $1.1 million from the city's reserves to prevent the station's closing for at least one year.
Fire chief Alvin Benson told the council that Number 6 was selected for closure after the council passed budget cuts last month. He said the neighborhood serviced by Number 6 has three more stations located within 1.5 miles. But Benson did admit that closing the station would impact response times, even though they would still fall under the nationally recommended times for fire response.
Councilman Shea Flinn asked both Benson and Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong, who is facing precinct closures due to the council's budget cuts, if the cuts would actually lead to a reduction in service or if the cuts would simply force the departments to re-think how they're using resources.
"If it's just going to change the way we deliver public safety, that's not necessarily a bad thing," Flinn said.
Armstrong told the council that required staff cuts through attrition will make it "extremely difficult to adequately staff nine precincts with no additional officers walking in the door." He said, if the budget situation doesn't improve, that he'd have to close three precincts by next year. Those precincts would include Raines, Mt. Moriah, and Old Allen.

Enveloped in dark dust, the entire place with blackened streets, shops, mosques, historical buildings and other infrastructure was an evidence how the pollutant had ruined the port area once thriving with business and tourist activities.
"Look at our faces and clothes. Can you believe that I had worn a clean dress in the morning?" said a fruit vendor, pointing to his clothes.
According to another person, the number of people suffering from respiratory diseases in the locality had increased dramatically over the past 10 to 12 years when the coal terminal had started its operation.
Despite the absence of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report and a call for intervention by Singapore, two massive reclamation projects are well underway in the Johor straits that separate Malaysia and the island republic.
The coastal reclamation work has also raised concerns over the effect the project will have on the coastal eco-system and the livelihood of fishermen in the area apart from Malaysia's transhipment hub in the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP).

Twitter removed the old fashioned way of retweeting after they revamped the web interface design. But still many of the third party twitter apps has this feature of retweeting old school way. Personally, I always retweet old school way. Tweetdeck is my favorite twitter app and recently twitter acquired tweetdeck and started to kill it slowly. Because tweetdeck was used by millions of people, twitter wanted people to use their web interface. First they killed the tweetdeck adobe air app, then made few changes to their web interface and removed the option to retweet old school way.
When browsing the chrome app store, found this extension that adds an Old RT style to twitter web interface. The extension is available for both Chrome and Firefox. What's so special about Old RT style? It gives me an option to enter my comment with the Retweet that am going to send. Currently the retweet option in the web interface doesn't allow you to edit anything. Old school way allows me to edit or enter some text before I push the tweet.
Classic ReTweet is the chrome extension that adds an old school RT option next to Retweet in the twitter web interface.
Once you've installed the extension, close the browser and reopen it to log in twitter. You can find the option to RT old school way below each tweet in your home feed.
If you're using chrome – here is the web store link
Firefox users can install the addon from the extensions repository.

Gasoline prices' rise is faster than usual
Published 8:22 pm, Monday, February 4, 2013
Gasoline prices almost always rise early in the year. Just not this fast. Or this high.
The national average for a gallon of regular jumped 17 cents in the last week, reaching $3.52. In Houston Monday, the average price was $3.357, up from $3.175 a week ago.
Driving the price spike nationwide is a surge of speculative investment in the markets for oil and gasoline, as sentiment about the economy improves. The run-up primes the country for another expensive year at the gas pump, at a time when Americans are already spending a greater portion of their income on fuel than they have in decades.
Gasoline futures contracts traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange have surged about 12 percent since mid-January, although their price dipped Monday. Crude oil, which had been stuck around $87 per barrel for much of November and December, now costs about $96.
The current price increase places Americans on track for another expensive year at the pump. Last year, the typical U.S. household spent just under 4 percent of its pre-tax income on gasoline, according to a report issued Monday by the Energy Information Administration, the statistics branch of the federal Department of Energy. With the exception of 2008, when oil prices briefly shot above $145 per barrel, that's the highest percentage since the early 1980s.
Gasoline prices have risen so high that another report found that drivers now spend almost as much on fuel - over the lifetime of their cars - as they did for the cars themselves. The report is by the Union of Concerned Scientists public advocacy group.

The Doctor and the Kid: A Weird West Tale
by Mike Resnick
Cover Artist: Seamus Gallagher
Review by Mel Jacob
Pyr Paperback ISBN/ITEM#: 9781616145378
Date: 20 December 2011 List Price $16.00 Amazon US / Amazon UK
Links: Author's Website /
Noted science fiction writer Mike Resnick takes the reader on a wild West ride with Doc Holliday, inventor Thomas Edison, and Ned Buntline in his steampunk western The Doctor and the Kid. Set in the old west of the 1880s, it starts in Leadville, Colorado, goes to Tombstone, Arizona, and on to Lincoln, New Mexico. When Doc loses all his money, he decides to become a bounty hunter and go after Billy the Kid because of the ten thousand dollar reward for killing him. However, he learns a Southern Cheyenne medicine man protects the Kid and ordinary bullets can't kill him.
Doc needs the reward money and Geronimo offers him protection against the Kid if he destroys a train station built atop an old burial ground. Geronimo tried guns, weapons, and explosives without effect on the station. Doc, in desperate need of funds, agrees. He enlists the aid of his friends Tom Edison and Ned Buntline. Medicine men's magic has prevented U.S. expansion beyond the Mississippi River, and the U.S. government has contracted with Edison to provide a means of overcoming it so he is eager to help.
Various animals serve as disguises for Geronimo's messengers. Doc never knows when a bird, wolf, or a prairie dog will transform into an Apache brave. Geronimo has not given any reason why the Cheyenne medicine man is protecting the Kid. Doc hopes that if they are able to destroy the station, they will have a way void the spell on the Kid.
When Doc first meets the Kid, he doesn't recognize him although astute readers will guess the man's identity. They become friends and Doc almost regrets his plan to kill him. At one point, the Kid draws on Doc, but thanks to Geronimo's protection, the bullets do no damage. The same is true for Doc's attempt to return fire.
Doc meets a charming widow, Charlotte Branson, and has thoughts of a future with her despite his terminal condition. Then he learns some surprising news about the widow and her livelihood. He tries to convince her to change professions.
The Doctor and the Kid offers alternate history, steampunk inventions, paranormal phenomena, and the Old West. The warm relationships between Doc, Edison, Buntline, and Charlotte make a change from the usual portrayals of Doc, Edison, and Buntline. The appendices offer interesting reading.
Resnick is a well-respected author and will be the Guest of Honor at the 2012 Worldcon in Chicago, Illinois. He has garnered many awards and written many science fiction novels and short stories. The ending implies a sequel, and Pyr will issue The Doctor and the Rough Rider. Resnick's fan will be sure to look for it. Those who haven't yet read The Buntline Special, the first of Resnick's Weird West Tales, will find it too of interest.

baby jackson's announcement
The design was kept modern and simple for sweet baby Jackson's announcements. The primary challenge was to achieve the practicality of a photo card while keeping the overall format timeless. A blind pressed pattern was used to frame his newborn stats and we hope the layering of cotton paper and photo will serve as an instant keepsake. His photo was stitched on with gray thread and it was all packaged into a kraft envelope. We just love how the texture of the pattern compliments that of the blanket he is wrapped in, Congratulations John & Jenny on your newest addition!!

leting go of something dear maybe not, moveing on yes, continue your life with the beautiful memory and strive for new ones
Try spending it in the evening rather than the morning.
Only you can truly answer that question, if you feel it is time to progress your life then its time. try new things and meet new people, it does't mean you have to let go or forget. I am sure your husband would want you to be happy and enjoy your life as much as possible.
You have suffered great losses...no one can imagine what that must do to your soul, unless they have experienced such grief. I don't believe it's anyone's place to say when you should be done grieving....everyone is different....as long as you have gotten or getting professional help..it may too big to manage on your own....you have my blessings (hugs)
If you have been in a literal state of morning for that long you may need some help. Moving on is about accepting that you are still alive, not forgetting that person. Seven years is pretty extreme by most standards as a period to be still completely wrapped by the grief. So, it kinda depends what you mean, but any time you can...moving on is positive.
I think that if it has taken you seven years to grieve (everyone grieves differently), the ways in which you grieve may not be beneficial to you. They may be holding you back. You may want to explore more beneficial ways to let out your emotions with a professional.

So my guild (will link it if need be) used to raid several months back. March-ish, right when ToT came out. We had a pretty good team and I keep in contact with at least...5 1/2 of them (the half being one friend who is nigh impossible to get in contact with most of the time). Anywho, crap happened in our guild and the raid team split. People just let their subs expire soon after but since 5.4 is coming out, my friends and I intend on trying to get our guild back into doing stuff.
Problem is, we only have at best, 6 people. and only 1-2 are online, usually in the evening. None on during the day or late night.
So my question is, how would I go about trying to get more people to get at least 10-man raiding going? Is it worth it to even do so?
