Stocks and Other Securities
Making a Gift of Stocks and Other Securities
The WVU Foundation accepts gifts of securities via electronic transfers and physical stock certificates. The donor receives a gift receipt detailing the gift value at the average of the high and low price of the securities on the date the transfer is completed. Stock proceeds are administered according to the donor's wishes.
The First Step is to advise the WVU Foundation of your intentions to transfer securities. Transfer instructions may change from year to year. The method of transfer will depend on the securities location and whether they are held in electronic or physical form.
- Electronic Stock Transfers – Instruct your bank or broker to contact the WVU Foundation to obtain brokerage account information and transfer instructions. The donor's broker may require a letter of instruction as authorization for the securities transfer.
- Physical Stock Certificates – The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) require that signature(s) on the stock certificates(s) must be medallion guaranteed (not a notary seal) by the donor's bank or brokerage company. Contact the WVU Foundation for certificate signature(s), assignment, stock power and delivery instructions.
- Other Securities – Companies impose different transfer requirements for mutual funds, bonds or closely-held stocks. Contact the WVU Foundation for more information regarding these gifts.

Spun it. Dyed it. Knitted it.
Recently I bought a spinning wheel and must say I am addicted to the gentle rhythm of spinning. It is possibly the most relaxing craft I've ever tried.
I am still learning and appreciate the guidance and experience of the lovely people around me who spin and dye ( especially Talia).
This spin, below, was one of my first. I spun the yarn, dyed it with Grape Koolaid and then I knitted it into hand warmers for my sweet girl. And its like scratch and sniff because they still smell like Grape Koolaid!
Hand warmer pattern can be found here : Fingerless mittens
Knitted with : Grape homespun
On : 3mm dpns
Linking up with Currently Creative and Show & Tell
Thanks so much for all your lovely comments and support for our Spend Free September post yesterday! It was so reassuring to know others understand and feel the same way.
We are planning to have a de-clutter and garage sale to try and eliminate some of the clutter and also use the money towards a new fence (because the old one is falling over!)
I have made sure that everyone is all sorted with clothes/shoes/school uniforms but if an emergency crops up we'll look at things as we need to.

Angry Mom Punches Skateboarder (Video)
Before we begin let me just say that Mama throws a mean right hook. I mean look at that, she just landed it right on his chin. Sign her up for boxing or UFC because she knows how to take out her anger on people. The only thing running through my head right now is LL Cool J singing "Mama Said Knock You Out".
Next, let's move on to the issue at hand here. Who is really to blame? Do we blame the skateboarder? I can't fully blame the skateboarder. You're not completely expecting a four year old to just pop up out of nowhere while you're riding along your skateboard. Do we blame the kid? You can't blame the kid, he's four years old and he's just living life and next thing he knows he's getting run over by a freight train. I'm saying you have to blame the mother here. It took her a solid ten seconds to show up after her son had tire marks running up and down his torso, which can only mean she wasn't paying any attention to him. Accidents happen when you're a negligent parent. Maybe pay more attention to your kid and you won't have to throw hay makers to make up for your bad parenting.

MOSCOW (Aug. 5)
Jews and other minority religions may benefit from a Russian lawmaker's controversial initiative to return land confiscated from the Russian Orthodox Church 80 years ago.
According to a plan proposed by Ivan Starikov, a member of the Federation Council, the upper house of the Russian Parliament, the Russian Orthodox Church could receive up to 3 million hectares of farmland and other land that was confiscated under the 1918 Bolshevik decree that nationalized church property.
But the Orthodox Church will not be the only beneficiary of the initiative if it ever becomes law.
Starikov, who chairs the chamber's agrarian committee, said other established religions should be also given their share of property lost in the communist nationalization. Russia's religions law explicitly lists Orthodox Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Judaism as faiths with a long history in Russia that therefore have a privileged status.
Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexei II welcomed the initiative during a recent meeting with leading members of the Federation Council. The initiative resulted from lobbying efforts on behalf of Russia's largest faith.
Before the 1917 Russian Revolution, the Orthodox Church was among Russia's biggest landowners. The church already has regained ownership of hundreds of churches, monasteries and other properties since the fall of communism.
But the proposed bill would not mean full restitution of land once owned by the Orthodox Church and other faiths, according to Starikov. Rather, it is designed to fill in a blank spot in a new land law that comes into force on January 2003.
That law, signed by President Vladimir Putin late last month as part of a push to liberalize the economy, allows the sale of farmland for the first time since the czarist era.
In addition, the new law says religious groups can rent or buy land they currently use. In contrast, current law allows religious groups to use land occupied by religious buildings for free or for a nominal rent, but does not allow them to own land.
The new land law will mean that all religious organizations will begin to pay for the land they currently use, including the plots where churches, mosques and synagogues are located, said Zinovy Kogan, executive director of the Congress of Religious Communities and Organizations and a member of the government's Interfaith Council, a consultative body.
Leaders of minority religions, including Muslims, Catholics and Jews, say they are more concerned about the fate of the land occupied by their temples rather than the possibility to acquire farmland.
Responding to these concerns, the Interfaith Council is now preparing amendments to the new land law that would allow religions to retain the status quo without paying for the land where houses of worship and other religious facilities stand.
If the amendments are not approved, many congregations, especially smaller ones, will go bankrupt, Kogan said.
Lawmakers will start to work on Starikov's bill in the fall so that it can be passed by the end of this year.
The fate of the bill is hard to predict.
Good relations between Putin, a practicing Orthodox Christian, and Alexei led commentators to assume that Starikov's motion would not have appeared without Putin's preliminary approval.
But one top government official already has criticized the proposed legislation.
Alexey Volin, the Cabinet's deputy chief of staff, noted that "Russia is a secular state, and the church cannot have any special economic privileges."
The sponsors of Starikov's bill say the land given to religious groups can be used by religious organizations for farming purposes or rented out by churches. At the same time, the bill will ensure that religious groups won't lose their nonprofit status if they use the land to make money.
The initiative generated front-page articles in most major national dailies, many of which were skeptical of the bill.
The Jewish community appears bewildered by the proposed bill, and some express doubts if synagogues would actually benefit from it.
Unlike churches and mosques, Russian synagogues "never in their history owned land," said Alexander Lokshin, a leading Moscow-based historian of Russian Jewry.
The only kinds of land that the Jewish communities could own were cemeteries and plots under synagogues, and Jewish religious institutions were not involved in agricultural production, Lokshin said.
Adolph Shayevich, one of Russia's two chief rabbis, said synagogues could benefit if Starikov's bill allows congregations to use land rent-free. He said this would give a boost to new synagogue construction and ensure financial stability of existing congregations.
Kogan, of the Congress of Religious Communities and Organizations, said that although synagogues were not landowners before Soviet rule, Jews should receive land as compensation for lost property if other faiths do.
If that happens, "Jewish religious organizations for the first time in Russian history will own land that can be used to grow grapes to make kosher wine or to raise cattle to produce kosher meat," Kogan said.
Unlike some former Soviet bloc countries that have begun to settle accounts with organizations and individuals whose property was seized under communism, Russia has yet to enact meaningful, wide-scale restitution laws. The return of former houses of worship to their original owners is the only form of property restitution in Russia, and many congregations have encountered significant difficulties when trying to regain ownership of their former synagogues.
In fact, some Jewish leaders fear that large-scale restitution might have unfavorable consequences for the Jewish community.
Yevgeny Satanovsky, president of the Russian Jewish Congress, warned against such efforts.
"What is possible in Central Europe and the Baltic states is not possible, not justified and not needed in Russia," he said.
Communism lasted at least three decades less in those parts of Europe than in Russia, Satanovsky said, a significant difference that poses a major obstacle for successful restitution process.
One solution that might satisfy the Jewish community would be for the synagogues to receive the plots of land they currently occupy, he said.
"If we push any harder it could lead to a social explosion, even to the growth of anti-Semitism," he warned. "This is an extremely dangerous issue, and we have to be very cautious here."

Minister to visit Australia to commemorate famine victims
20/08/2013 - 08:19:53Back to Ireland Home
Minister Jimmy Deenihan is to travel to Sydney, Australia to lead the ceremonies for the 2013 International Commemoration of the Great Irish Famine.
The main event will take place in Hyde Park Barracks on Sunday, when he will meet the descendants of Irish orphan girls who travelled to Australia during the famine.
More than 4,000 women and girls went from workhouses between 1848 and 1850 under the Earl Grey Scheme in search of hope and a new beginning.
Mr Deenihan said the trip will also celebrate the tremendous impact that Irish emigrants have made to their adopted homeland.
"A key aim of the National Famine Commemoration Committee, which I chair, is also to raise awareness of famine issues all over the world," the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht said.
"The legacy of the famine in Ireland includes a deep compassion felt by Irish people for those who suffer from hunger in today's world.
"Ireland's historical experience of hunger underlies the Irish Government's strong commitment to tackling global hunger – at its roots and on a long-term basis."
Victims of the Great Famine and those forced to emigrate for a new life will be remembered during a series of events this week.
This is the fifth international famine commemoration, with previous ones held in Boston, New York, Liverpool and Canada.
Ireland's national famine commemoration was held in Kilrush, Co Clare, in May.
During his trip Mr Deenihan will officially launch the "Atlas of the Great Irish Famine" at the State Library in Sydney, and speak at a seminar on the Great Irish Famine in Parliament House.
He will also host a business networking breakfast, visit the Celtic Studies Department of the University of Sydney and Sydney Cricket Ground and meet Irish seniors at the drop-in service at the Irish Australian welfare bureau.

Uttarakhand: 41 pilgrims killed in bus mishap
October 11, 2007 19:51 IST
Forty-one Badrinath pilgrims from Orissa were killed and two critically injured when a bus carrying them fell into the Alaknanda river in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand on Thursday evening.
The accident took place at Vishnuprayag when the driver of the bus carrying 45 passengers lost control of the wheel on being hit by a boulder which rolled down a hillside due to a landslide in area, police said.
The bus fell into the swirling waters of the Alaknanda, a tributary of the river Ganga, and most of those inside died on the spot, they said, adding that 41 bodies had been retrieved by a rescue team.
Two persons had been rescued and rushed to a nearby hospital where their condition was stated to be critical.
Senior administrative and police officials were at the site supervising the operation and 'long ropes are being used to retrieve the bodies,' police said.
The pilgrims from Orissa were returning to Rishikesh after paying at the Badrinath shrine, situated at an altitude of 3,133 metres in the Garhwal Himalayas.
Police said all the pilgrims were from Ganjam and Puri areas of Orissa.
Chief Minister B C Khanduri has announced Rs 50,000 as ex-gratia to the next of kin of those killed and Rs 25,000 to the injured. Expressing grief over the mishap, he has asked the district authorities to provide the best medical facilities to the injured.

Cleveland-based artist, Derek Hess, has been creating professionally since the mid-90's. He's designed posters for bands such as Pantera, Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam. He's no stranger to album art and both magazine and television features. His art is even displayed permanently in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Louvre. What the artist is currently pursuing, however, are his fine art images.
Hess's pieces are, in a word, impressive. I love the looseness of his ink drawings and their sketch-like quality. The artist flirts between areas of hyper-detail with dense linework and lighter areas utilizing implied lines. He is experienced with the human form, accurately and artistically rendering it in many of his pieces. They're a little dark, a lot unexpected, and completely and totally his.
"My advice for anyone who wants to get involved with drawing based art: learn the fundamentals of drawing. This way you don't have to worry about how to draw something, your energy can be spent on what to draw. Content with confidence of your ability to execute it."
You can preview some of Hess's pieces below, but for his full body of work, hop on over to the official website.

Natural treatment for enlarged prostate is often the last resort for most men. And, that is unfortunate because more often than not, natural methods seem to be the most effective.
Now there three basic kinds of enlargement:
- Enlargement from BPH
- Enlargement from inflammation
- Enlargement from Cancer
BPH is a condition where the prostatic tissue grows in an attempt to compensate for diminished function due to nutritional deficiency.
I'm almost certain you've never heard it explained that way. But, that's what it really is and why it happens.
Natural treatment for enlarged prostate due to BPH is much simpler and much more effective than you may imagine. And using natural treatment for enlarged prostate has saved countless men from unnecessary surgeries.
If your diet had the proper elements your gland wouldn't be growing this way. If you start feeding it the proper nutrients, it will shrink comfortably.
Correct massage techniques will expedite the process.
Because the growth is slow, the problem here is usually not painful.
The main problems from BPH are:
At best it's annoying. At worst your urine flow will be cut off and you can have serious pain and potential life threatening complications.
I've written an entire section on natural treatment for enlarged prostate due to BPH that is entitled:
Relieve BPH With No Side Effects.
For most men with this condition, the information on this type of natural treatment for enlarged prostate is quite an eyeopener and life changer.
And, since I cover the subject thoroughly on the link above, this is as much as I will go into it here.
Inflammation in this gland of ours can be a cruel nightmare!
Natural treatment for enlarged prostate is the only effective remedy that worked for me personally. Everything else failed!
Here I am going to be discussing how to get some immediate relief and what we can do to reduce and eliminate the pain completely using only natural treatment for enlarged prostate.
In fact, chronic terrible pain from swelling here is the specific condition that led me to start my own personal research into natural treatment for enlarged prostate.
NOTHING in conventional medicine was working for me.
When my own pain problem first developed I sought out the usual avenues of relief.
Basically, what I got was pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs. To my amazement, and horror, none of them seemed to work for my condition. At all!
It took me many months of research to find my answers. I suffered a lot then!
It was natural treatment for enlarged prostate that turned the tide for me, gave me some immediate relief during flare ups, and eventually cleared up my condition completely.
If you are in pain from inflammation, the very first thing you want is relief from that pain. So here are the methods for immediate pain relief and reduction that worked for me and since have worked for countless other men.
Needless to say, you can't continue with the abuse to your gland if you ever expect it to get better. But, most of us, in the beginning at least, do not even know that we are abusing our gland or HOW we are abusing our gland.
So what we need most at these moments is
just some simple immediate relief.
When we were young and enjoying the pleasure of our sexual systems in every which way, all we ever had was fun and enjoyment from it.
There seemed to be no consequences from abuse of any kind. Natural treatment for enlarged prostate was not even in our consciousness.
If you are reading this now, you know that all of that has changed!
When we get older all kinds of sexual trouble seems to emerge and there seems to be one problem after another.
These can include and are not limited to:
These things can really take the whole joy out of sex and even ruin and destroy it completely. Along with this comes the feeling of emasculation and depression.
The good news here is that it is not age itself that causes these problems.
What causes these problems is all the things we unknowingly do to ourselves over the years. Over and over again!
This is why natural treatment for enlarged prostate is so amazingly effective.
Natural treatment for enlarged prostate helps normalize and remove all the abnormalities we have been harming our bodies with.
Mother Nature is very forgiving. Up to a point.
But, most of us do so many unnatural things to ourselves that our bodies respond accordingly.
Unfortunately, because most everyone does these things, we consider them normal. And all these problems are then considered normal. They are not normal!
But, they are the normal result of the continual mistreatment.
This is a very important distinction to understand. It will make the difference between your ability to get truly health again or not.
And, it will enable you to understand why natural treatment for enlarged prostate is so effective.
Natural treatment for enlarged prostate simply removes the elements that cause enlargement and restores the elements that create health and normalcy.
Very simple! But, it takes time, persistence and patience.
If you're looking for a quick fix, there is none.
It is the same principle behind all natural healing. And, it works! Why is it not more well known? Because we are so absorbed in wanting a pill to fix everything that we have forgotten a lot of simple logic.
Some Simple Logic: If you break your leg you must set the bone and then give the bone a chance to heal itself. There is no pill that heals the bone. There never was. There never will be.
We all know that.
A cut works similarly. There is no pill that heals it. The body heals itself.
Most of us don't know why. We just know that is what happens if we give these conditions what they need.
So now you must understand this same principle about your gland. If you do, you will now see why natural treatment for enlarged prostate is so amazingly effective.
All body tissues share certain elemental (nutritional) requirements.
Glands and organs, however, have certain special needs because they perform special functions. These needs are more specific than the needs of the bone and muscle mentioned above.
In our male gland certain nutrients are necessary for healing and maintaing a normal state.
Good blood flow is necessary also.
This is why p
correct prostate massage
has helped hundreds of thousands of men correct their pain, enlargement conditions, and virtually every malady in this area.
Correct massaging is often the one natural treatment for enlargement that makes the difference between success and failure.
In fact:
poor blood flow,
inadequate nutrition,
are the three prime causes
almost ALL problems in this precious gland of ours.
poor blood flow,
inadequate nutrition,
are the three prime causes
almost ALL problems in this precious gland of ours.
Toxemia (usually in combination with or as a result of the above) is the cause of almost all cancer here.
I will not be dealing with toxemia or cancer in this article.
Natural treatment for enlarged prostate includes:
Of all these items, Moderation is the least understood and the least practiced and possibly the most significant for many men.
This does not mean more sexual activity than when you were 20. Or, more than your friends can handle. Or, more than you want or think is OK.
It means: more than your body can handle in the condition it is in today.
I get letters from 22 year old guys in agony. When I find out they are having intercourse or masturbating three times every day, it doesn't take a genius to figure out why they are in pain.
For many young me a brief period of abstinence combined with a bit of sexual moderation is all the natural treatment for enlarged prostate that they need for a complete recovery!
At 22 we usually recover quite quickly from most conditions.
At 40 it is not so easy.
And, at 50 or 60 you're going to need some time and real attention.
So what moderation means for you is: What works for your body.
We are all different.
Some men can have lots of sex. Some a LOT less. Just like hair on our heads. Some men are gifted there, others are not.
Some men develop problems here easily, and some can stand a lot of abuse before trouble begins.
Genetics plays a role here. But, Proper lifestyle and attention to the natural treatment for enlarged prostate items that I mentioned above have a much greater influence on your health and well being.
If you have enlargement due to over indulgence (the most common cause of pain), you will need to keep cutting back on your sexual activity until you find out what works for YOUR body.
Not exciting, right? But, this is what makes a male sexual system function without pain. Proper nutrition, correct massage and specific exercise help.
But, at the end of the day, your body has it's own capabilities. And it's own time period for regeneration and recovery. If you don't allow for these, you will suffer! ENDLESSLY!
Infection can also cause serious inflammation. In fact that is what is called prostatitis.
A medical exam is always recommended for any case of pain in this area. There is often a very simple medical remedy for infections that can be diagnosed.
The problem is: 7 out of 8 cases of prostatitis are diagnosed as
"non specific prostatitis".
That mean they don't know why you have inflammation and pain.
The text link highlighted above will give you my pages that go into detail on this condition.
Wise men will see the logic in all this, get it, apply it, and learn to make themselves well.
I've seen it happen over and over again.
Not so wise men will say, "Oh. I thought you had a quick fix for us that would solve our problem and let us have limitless sex, drink all the alcohol and caffeine we want, eat crap, cut our sleep short, etc., etc., etc...."
They keep looking for a "magic pill" and they suffer endlessly and eventually become impotent.
Which one will you be?
Time and persistence with correct methods will heal over 99% of all, yes ALL health issues. I wish someone had been there to tell me this when all my own problems started. It would have made the road A LOT easier.
Natural treatment for enlarged prostate was the only effective cure for me. With moderation, correct
massage techniques, and an improvement in my lifestyle I became healthy and pain free again!
Yes, sad but true. It was even a bummer for me!: Moderation. Ugh.... I hated it and it was not something I ever really practiced on many things before this.
And temporary abstinence! Ughhh again!!... But, it rapidly made me feel better.
Sometimes, temporary sexual abstinence is necessary to reverse a lot of pain issues in this area. Sometimes our bodies just needs a really good rest!
This was for me and it may be for you. But, the heavenly reward of a pain free body from this type of natural treatment for enlarged prostate has been so worth it!
And the only side effects of natural treatment for enlarged prostate are more radiant health and a much greater sense of well being.
Mother Nature is amazingly forgiving. She wants you to be happy and well. But, you have to give her some time and the necessary tools to do her job.
It won't happen in a day.
However, in almost every case, a man should be able to return to a pain free, healthful, fully functional and happy sex life.
I have received countless letters that attest to this! Even from men of quite advanced age.
If you'll just help your body out and give it a chance with these methods of
natural treatment for enlarged prostate
the same results are most likely waiting for you!
Be Well.....
~ William

Posted on 02/13/2013 7:41:13 AM PST by EXCH54FE
Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- Gun Owners of America today submitted testimony at the request of the Ranking Member of the Senate Constitution Subcommittee.
GOA took a strong stance against all the gun control legislation on the table and urged the Senate to put forth real solutions to school violence like letting teachers and principals protect their students.
Also, GOA wants to thank all of you who participated in our online poll over the past week. With 20,897 votes cast so far, the poll results indicate that 96% of GOAs membership OPPOSES universal background checks and, hence, opposes the very guts of the gun legislation that is expected to move in the Senate.
Now, its time to talk strategy that of the anti-gunners, and of ours, as well.
Within the next three weeks, we expect Senator Patrick Leahys Senate Judiciary Committee will move a national gun registry bill to the Senate floor.
The Judiciary Committee bill will probably not contain the Feinstein semi-auto gun ban, and it may or may not have a magazine ban which would render most of the nations guns unusable, at least for the foreseeable future.
But the Judiciary Committee bill will almost certainly ban all private sales of firearms or any private exchange where the gun buyer does not first get permission from the FBI. And its this background check requirement that will inevitably set up a framework for a universal gun registry.
The Leahy bill will most certainly have a gun trafficking section that is based on other legislation (S. 54) that hes already introduced. This would turn everyone who lives under repressive state gun laws into a federal prohibited person, as well. Hence, if your state requires a license to possess a gun, you would also become a federal prohibited person. Oh, and the Leahy bill would also send you to prison for 20 years for unknowingly selling a firearm to a marijuana user. So, the next time youre thinking of selling a gun, all we can say is: Are you felling lucky?
Anyway, heres Harry Reids strategy: He has at least eleven Democratic senators running for reelection in pro-gun states in 2014 and they dont want to SEEM anti-gun. The eleven Democratic senators in pro-gun states are: Mark Begich (Alaska), Mark Pryor (Arkansas), Mark Udall (Colorado), Mary Landrieu (Louisiana), Al Franken (Minnesota), Max Baucus (Montana), Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire), Tom Udall (New Mexico), Kay Hagan (North Carolina), Tim Johnson (South Dakota), and Mark Warner (Virginia).
All of these Democrats will vote for the national gun registry and gun licensure. And, in exchange, Reid will allow them to vote against the Feinstein gun ban, which will be the sacrificial lamb to the more important gun control which Democrats really want.

" One issue that always boggles my mind is the idea that a gun is a defensive weapon. That is a myth. A gun is not a defensive weapon. A gun is an offensive weapon, used to intimidate and used to show power. Police officers do not carry a gun as a defensive weapon, to defend themselves and their other officers. They carry a gun to be able to do their job in a safe and effective manner and face any oppositions we may come upon."
via Emeryville CA Police Chief Ken James Is Certified Retarded.
Didn't they try this with prohibition? How well did that work out for them?
See the strategy? This has been mapped out in advance. What we are watching unfold is a kabuki dance.Green ribbons, Gabby Giffords, Newtown "choir" of kids at the Super Bowl and Grammies, "victims" with Michelle O.
But have no fear--our intrepid GOP Senators are on the lookout.
On second thought,..........
When they ended Prohibition they created thousands of federal revenue agents with nothing to do, so when the National Firearms Act of 1934 went into effect they added "firearms" to their oversight duties.
They learned their lesson that time. Never let the law get in the way of federal employees getting their paychecks.
My hope is that not one word makes it through. Enforce the laws as written.
I also support taking a look at all gun control laws and getting rid of those that amount to harassment of gun owners or which create nothing but busy work for the powers that be.
Notified both of my Senators and my Rep just in case.
Let them play their games. In the end the citizenry has the final vote. Its call consent of the governed.
"Didnt they try this with prohibition? How well did that work out for them?"
Last time, they didn't have a Department of Homeland Security with a billion-bullet arsenal behind them.
This time, things will be different...
...and we have a duty to our country and to our Constitution to NOT abide by any law or regulation this is in violation of our RIGHTS.
This is no longer playground kiddie games, folks. This is life or death stuff.
Their end goal is total confiscation.
Their method of achieving that is incrementalism.
So, in light of these two facts,
should they
A) Compromise and give them another step toward their goal.
B) Say "No"
Yes, we don't need any more gun control. Just enforce the current laws.
To those democrat senators who vote for gun registration schemes, I feel a song coming on: na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye.
please read this. We have to stay on target! Boycott NY State!
Gun Control; Time to Fight
As consumers and 2nd Amendment advocates, we have to engage an economic boycott of all ammunition and firearms covering the entire State of NY; Citizens & Government while pulling an Alinsky Andrew Cuomo when executing the boycott. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules for Radicals)
The embargo ends when the current NY Government agrees all NY State Citizens have a 2nd Amendment Right to own any quantity and all types firearms, those made 400 years ago and those to be made in the future!
The firearms industry from top to bottom completely terminate sales of a firearms and ammunition to all of NY State, citizens to Government to include the Federal Government offices in NY State till the State of NY recognizes the US Constitution and its own State Constitution starting on 12 February 2013.
To the Citizens aka Serfs in NY State
You will suffer till you elect representatives that respect the Constitutions. You made your bed, now go lie down in it! If you are a gun owner in NY you are a Serf, and it sucks to be you. If you are a believer
in Gun Control, great! Now your Government will have no guns too! NY Government can continue to prosecute the criminals without guns or ammunition.
To all Government in NY State
You want gun control for your Citizens and Taxpayers? Well the rest of us out here think that concept is flawed. The rest of the Country think you, the Government should be just as restricted or more so restricted than the law abiding taxpayer .how do you like not having Assault Rifles, High Capacity Magazines or no Ammunition now? If it sucks for you Mr & Mrs. Government Employee in NY State well it sucks to a NY State Citizen under the current laws too!
Respect your citizens/ taxpayer and Constitutions.
To Industry: Time to break the bullys face
Andrew Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren will be running on the 2016 Democrat Presidential ticket. With record sales in other markets, there will be zero impact if all NY sales terminated tomorrow. If the NY State Government along with the SAFE act are not reigned in, this cancer will only spread. Time to fight the bully and make the bully understand in no uncertain terms, the 2nd Amendment is very important, has nothing to do with hunting and everything to do with citizens/sovereigns reigning in and eliminating out of control Government, foreign or Domestic.
To the Citizens of the other 56 States
Call every manufacturer of ammunition and firearms and tell them to stand up to Andrew Cuomo and the NY State Government by completely boycotting all sales to NY State till the SAFE Act, Assault weapons ban and any other restrictions to firearms ownership are removed. Respect the 2nd Amendment or pay the consequences. Boycott NY State or we as consumers will boycott your company!
Federal Ammunition, Winchester/OLIN, FN USA, FN Herstal, Remington, Freedom Firearms Group, Colt, S&W, Glock, Lewis Machine Tool, Heckler & Koch, Sig-Sauer etc.
Call the NRA and every other gun rights organization to support the industry boycott of NY State and make sure that Andrew Cuomo owns it!
Contact them all and tell them you support a NY State Firearms and Ammunition Boycott!
Andrew Cuomo
Mr. Cuomo owns this. Every Answer, every utterance about this initiative is his. This will end his chances for President in 2016.
When NY State Government Officials complain: ANSWER Call Andy
. When NYC Police Commissioner
Ray Kelly and NYC Mayor Bloomberg whines ANSWER: Call ANDY! When the UN security teams in
NYC complain .. answer Andrew Cuomo ..When hunters in NY complain: ANSWER: Andrew Cuomo .. when non gun owners fear the cops will not be armed: ANSWER Andrew Cuomo. When any NY State Citizen comments, complains, or utters any thought about their safety: ANSWER Andrew Cuomo.
If it drags on and a NY Citizen or Police Officer is killed due to no training ammunition the answer is: Andrew Cuomo
When the news media runs a story explaining the criminals gangs think this boycott is great cuz the Po
Po aint gots noz bullets . The answer is Andrew Cuomo
Andrew Cuomo is your fear, Andrew Cuomo is your pain, and Andrew Cuomo is your lack of security ..your lack of ammunition and firearms.. Governor Cuomo can heal that pain .
When Mr. Cuomo buckles: the left will hate him. The Left will punish him
NO negotiations, NO middle of the road,
Nothing but recognition of the Individual Taxpayers Rights to Firearms Ownership
When NY State Government recognizes the Rights of the Citizens, then and only then will sales resume
MAKE EVERY Gun Grabbing Democrat or Republican politician fear being Coumod by Taxpayers that believe in the Second Amendment.
The Common Sense Solution is already in place: Current NY State Constitution ARTICLE XII*
[Defense; militia]
Section 1. The defense and protection of the state and of the United
States is an obligation of all persons within the state. The legislature
shall provide for the discharge of this obligation and for the maintenance and regulation of an organized.
For clarity and intent here is the original language from 1777
XL. And whereas it is of the utmost importance to the safety of every State that it should always be in a condition of defence; and it is the duty of every man who enjoys the protection of society to be prepared and willing to defend it; this convention therefore, in the name and by the authority of the good people of this State, doth ordain, determine, and declare that the militia of this State, at all times hereafter, as well in peace as in war, shall be armed and disciplined, and in readiness for service.
(just a small observation: As read, the citizens of NY State should be fully armed the duty of every man , not the NY State Government or any Employee that takes a pay check from TAX REVENUE. Right now, it is completely backwards! NY State should be more like Switzerland of 2012 and less like Nazi Germany of 1938.)
US Constitution 2nd Amendment, which by the way is now in been affirmed as incorporated and defined to protect the individuals right to own firearms, via the Heller decision
If a citizen and Militia member in NY cannot own it, can neither a NY State Government Agency nor
Employee. That is common sense and that is the current Constitution!
Make Mr. Cuomo recognize that fact. See the rules below and start making Andy Cuomos political life painful or we will be dealing with him and his venal ilk in 2016!
The rules
RULE 1: Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have. Power is derived from 2 main sources money and people. Have-Nots must build power from flesh and blood.
How: NY State Boycott of all arms and ammunition, starting with NY State Government, local
Government and all NY State Citizens/Taxpayers/Serfs
RULE 2: Never go outside the expertise of your people. It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
We all know firearms and the Second Amendment. Time to say NO to the Bullies in NY State!
RULE 3: Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
NY State Government will be clueless on how to handle a boycott by Industry initiated by Taxpayers from the other 56 States.
RULE 4: Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
No Rights to own Firearms for Citizens = No Rights, exemptions, or any other weasel language to possess
Firearms or ammunition for Government Employees anywhere in NY
If a NY State Citizen cannot buy the firearms/magazines/ammunition
. Nor can a Government Entity or
Government Employee in NY State
RULE 5: Ridicule is mans most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is irrational. It is infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
Call Andrew Cuomo, he owns: your lack of Rights, your lack of security, or lack of ammunition or lack of firearms
RULE 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. Theyll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more.
Theyre doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
For those of us outside of NY State: More product available and we end this gun control issue for a while
For those in NY State: Think of this as Chemo-therapy for gun control cancer; the process is not very enjoyable, but the results of killing off the gun control cancer are worth it.
Enjoy watching the NY State bureaucrats squirm and fuss
Enjoy watching the anti- gun types freak when the Government is not armed either! Que Mike Bloomberg, NY Police Union types and the UN idiots guns for our security now! While leaving the taxpayers un-armed
ENJOY ANDREW COUMO GET POUNDED ON ALL SIDES and watch his 2016 chances go away!
RULE 7: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Dont become old news.
Start this MONTH, it wont last long!
Abe Lincoln took on slavery, so let us free taxpayers that enjoy firearms and the 2nd Amendment from being treated like Dred Scott honor Mr. Lincoln and start the BOYCOTT on 12 February 2013!
Call or e-mail every manufacturer of firearms and ammunition and demand they BOYCOTT all sales to NY STATE! Call and/or e-mail the NRA, NSSF, and SAMMI and demand they support a BOYCOTT of all firearms and ammunition to NY State to begin on February 12, 2013 starting with the NY State Government due to ANDREW Cuomo!
RULE 8: Keep the pressure on. Never let up. Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
The Boycott Ends when LAWS are repealed, not amended, not replaced
REPEALED and Law Abiding
Citizens & Taxpayers RIGHTS are recognized
RULE 9: The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
NOT A THREAT. DEMAND a total BOYCOTT and make sure Andrew Cuomo owns it!
RULE 10: "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition." It is the unceasing pressure that will result in the reaction of the opposition that is essential for the success of the campaign.
The enraged Parties such as the NY State Police, Local Police, Government Employee Unions and finally
Citizens/Serf will be plenty of pressure on Mr. Cuomo.
RULE 11: If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive. Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
Common Sense will prevail
RULE 12: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Never let the enemy score points because youre caught without a solution to the problem.
No Compromise: The answers & solutions are already in place, the NY State Constitution and the US Constitution
RULE 13: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
Apparently, there are a few more people in Emeryville area who have a shortage of brains & logic.
Sherwin Williams paint co. was there for YEARS.
They had been carved down from a wide array of very good products to just white, water based, latex paint. They had been hammered by the California AQMD—Air Quality Management Dept for years over everything they were doing.
They finally decided to end their long term relationship with Emeryville and move to N Nevada. They built a new computer controlled plant in Fernley, and then asked SOME of the 185 ++ UNION workers if they would like to relocate. Much shorter commute-clean air-new house for less than $200,000—and lots of other advantages. They were NOT going to pay union wages or have a union force, but they were willing to transfer some people, if they wanted to go.
Last I heard, almost all of the union members said no—and they lost the opportunity to transfer. Now, an almost new crew runs that plant and over 180 union people are unemployed in Emeryville. Sherwin Williams makes whatever they want in the new plant.
Emeryville has no taxes from Sherwin Williams operations any more.
Seems to me that some legislator should submit legislation to amend the constitution. Say something about over-riding the second amendment, and give the federal government the right to restrict not only fire arms and scary accessories, but also the responsibility to create national standards about gun purchase, ownership and use.
Could be any legislator. Just make a big deal about it. They maybe say that I don't agree with it, but if we want to run roughshod over the 2nd amendment, let's do it right.
And maybe the same thing with abortion. Use some of the language around slavery - not a person, etc. This way, just in case some future court wants to over turn Roe v Wade, they can have their little amendment protecting it.
Just try to get them passed...

Cory, Ryan and Fred are both writing about Red Hat's new open source social networking release, Mugshot.
The Mugshot developers on their blog are dissing the MySpace claims and making broader and fairly claims about how Mugshot is to be used — like email but more so, says one.
Their Press FAQ is more informative. But this part makes me, a Mac user, sad:
The Mugshot client software is currently available for Windows XP and Linux. The Mugshot web service also offers limited support for Apple OS X and other platforms.
I'm trying to get a login now…

A State Refund Coming Back? Here's 15 Places to Donate Some of It
It's tax ciphering crunch time.
If there's a potential refund coming, the state has created 15 options to donate some of that cash to various causes.
There's one new tax check-off for 2011 to be found on Page 3 of the Franchise Tax Board's Form 540. It's a fund to help child victims of human trafficking.
The voluntary contributions — there's a $1 minimum — are tax deductible.
Several of the 15 current check-offs were supposed to vanish from the list for the 2011 tax year but were revived through legislation.
The state places a maximum of 15 on the number of check-offs. New ones must wait their turn until existing check-offs expire or are removed for failing to garner the minimum level of taxpayer contributions needed to maintain a spot on the list, usually at least $250,000.
Contributions to current check-offs are logged by the tax board which also maintains a list of those that have expired or been repealed.
Last tax year, 2010, the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – ALS – Lou Gehrig's Disease Research Fund was required to have contributions of at least $250,000 to keep its place. It only received $114,051.
But Sen. Juan Vargas, a San Diego Democrat running for Congress this year, carried legislation to restore the ALS check-off to the list.
The Municipal Shelter Spay-Neuter Fund received only $194,462 of the $250,000 it needed last year to stay on the list but Assemblyman Cameron Smyth, a Santa Clarita Republican, carried legislation to put the fund back on.
Under the terms of the bills – signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown – neither fund must reach a minimum level of contributions this year to keep their place.
That's the usual rule for check-offs in their first year but, the next year, a minimum of $250,000 must be reached.
So far this year, Californians have contributed $18,269 to the Lou Gehrig Fund and $40,146 to the Spay-Neuter Fund.
The child victim of human trafficking fund, which also has no minimum to meet this year, has received $4,264 in contributions.
This is the second year a check-off for the California Arts Council is on Page 3 of the Form 540.
Last year, taxpayers gave the council $164,298. This year it must reach $250,000 or lose its place or convince the governor and Legislature it should still be renewed for another year or more.
"The tax check-off for the arts program gives most Californians an easy and very direct way to improve arts and cultural programs in the state," said Craig Watson, the director of the arts council in a statement.
"Even small donations add up in ways that help keep the arts alive in our schools and local communities."
Also facing its first $250,000 threshold is a fund benefiting the California Police Activities League. Last year, it received just $69,431 in contributions.
Legislation last year also extended the lifespan of two veteran funds – the Rare and Endangered Species Preservation program and the State Children's Trust for the prevention of Child Abuse.
Created in 1983, both were supposed to end after the conclusion of the 2012 tax year — January 1, 2013. Now they'll stay on tax forms through the 2017 tax year, if they meet their annual minimums.
Each must receive at least $313,582. Neither has had trouble exceeding their minimums in past years. The endangered species fund raked in over $605,000 last year while the children's fund had contributions of over $409,000.
No lawmakers came to the relief of the the California Military Family Relief Fund which needed contributions of $279,374 last year to remain on state tax forms. It received $202,010 and lost its place.
Also dropping off the check-off list was research into ovarian cancer. It received $121,427 last year – less than half the $250,000 it needed.
Those cancellations made room for the Arts Council and Police Activities League as well as check-offs benefiting the California Veterans Homes and publicizing the ability of new parents to safely surrender unwanted infants.
Among the other canceled or expired check-offs are ones dealing with lupus, colorectal cancer, the state military museum and preservation of California's historic missions.
At more than $605,00 the endangered species fund received the most contributions last year followed by the Emergency Food for Families Fund with $598,157. Money going into food fund is used to buy goods and deliver them to food banks and soup kitchens around the state.
Created in 1975 by Jerry Brown in his first term of office, the 11-member arts council is charged with promoting arts in California.
Its budget has been reduced by some 80 percent since the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2002.
A $1 contriubution from every taxpayer would generate $15 million for the arts, the council notes.

Blue Vanga Lodge is run by a friendly family in the village of Ampijoroa, about 5 km from Ankarafantsika NP. They accept online bookings which will be replied to by their Majunga office. You must pay cash Ariary or Euros, no credit cards accepted either online or in person.
We arrived with barely enough light to see the track from the main road which was well-signposted. It is a small lodge with 6 brick bungalows for tourists and a bunk room for drivers. There is no parkland nearby and the only birds we saw here were chickens belonging to local farmers. If you want to see Blue Vangas, you need to go to the park. We saw a couple other tourists who also had a private car/driver so I am not sure how people using public transport would get to the park. I did see some mini-buses (taxi-brousse) parked in the village you you could get one headed towards Majunga and just hop out at the park. To get back to the lodge, you could try for a mini-bus with empty seats or walk. A tasty breakfast is provided and they will have cold drinks if you ask after the generator has been running a couple hours. They can also do other meals. For lunch and dinner your choices are basically eat at the lodge, buy food at the market in the village or have lunch at the park.
Beds have mosquito nets and there is a fan but electricity only runs from around 6-10pm.
Nice large bathroom
There's our jeep parked at the entrance.
Although there weren't many mosquitoes, there were lots of moths that would get in and even get through the net. They are attracted to laptop or tablet screens, especially after the generator is switched off. The bungalows can get very hot once the fan turns off and I was dying to open a window, but then more moths came in. The next morning, the staff fixed fly screens on the windows (which just happened to be laying around) and the problem was solved! We had cross-ventilation and no moths!
The village is very small. You can see a mini-bus on the right of the red truck.
Basic food supplies – drinks, fruit, veggies and canned food can be bought at the market. We had to do this the 2nd night as I was running out of cash and no place to get any more and I needed to save enough for the petrol back to Tana. We survived!

Curious about the specifics:

Quantity: How much yarn was required?

Approximately 13% of women experience the "thief of motherhood" that is postpartum depression. On this very site I recently read about two women's experiences – one ending, tragically, in suicide. Thankfully, this is a rare occurrence, but it informs us of the seriousness with which we need to take this issue.
What Are the Symptoms of Postpartum Depression (PPD)?
Firstly what I'm talking about is not the 'baby blues' – which is medically defined as mild symptoms, including some that I list below, that resolve after two weeks at most. We need to be careful about confusing the two. Sufferers are feeling fragile and awful enough without also feeling misunderstood or worse – dismissed.
By the time patients are referred to me for psychological intervention they will report some or all of the following list of symptoms, and will often have been suffering greatly for months, often in isolation, ashamed that they are not happy with their newborn bundle of joy (or maybe noise and poop??).
'Cos your supposed to be grateful, happy and radiant with a newborn crying baby, sleep deprivation and a complete life-change for which there is no preparation or training, right??!! (Hmm….)
Anyway – here's the list. You'll be likely nodding and saying 'yup' a lot as you read through it. That's OK because, and please remember this, after these feelings are normal postpartum (yes they are, you are not incompetent, weird or a bad mother). If they persist for longer than a couple of weeks and it still feels bleak and unmanageable, that's when you might be moving from 'baby blues' to PPD.
- Tearfulness
- Anxiety / fearfulness
- Overwhelm
- Loss of interest in yourself, grooming, washing, dressing etc
- Absence of interest in the baby – ranging from indifference to loathing
- Guilt for having those feelings
- Loss of appetite
- Loss of libido
- Social isolation
- Anger and rages
- Mood swings
- Emotional emptiness or numbness
- Exhaustion
- Sleep disturbance
- Reduced cognitive abilities – memory glitches, speech or writing errors.
In rare cases women suffer from postpartum psychosis. The main symptoms of this are hallucinations, paranoia and severe confusion. The big risk factors here appear to be existing bipolar depression or schizophrenia. It's usually treated with antipsychotics and mood stabilisers like lithium.
Medical science cannot yet provide us with a full description of exactly what happens during PPD – or indeed during depression itself. The serotonin hypothesis hasn't faired too well in recent years casting doubt over the (still widespread) use of SSRI antidepressants. Many doctors though will still prescribe SSRI's for depression and PPD – you maybe take them yourself. They are still in the top ten most prescribed drugs list in the US (showing us how commonly depression is diagnosed) generating a sales figure in 2014 of $4,095,537,942.
So medically speaking for now at least, what we are left with are theories, which I accept isn't much use when you feel you're in hell and what you want is a definite, preferably quick and easy way out.
But I do believe there is a way out. It's just hidden from plain view.
What Causes Postpartum Depression?
The physical: The medical model tells us that oestrogen, progesterone and thyroid hormonal levels are implicated in PPD. A condition called Postpartum Thyroiditis and new onset Graves Disease should be ruled out for example – the latter being present in 7% of PPD patients as contrasted to 0.2% for the 'normal' population according to a study I recently read. It may also be useful to rule out Hashimoto's as an underlying or triggering cause. Speak to your doctor about testing if they haven't already done so.
Both oestrogen and progesterone levels pretty much crash after giving birth and it is theorised that these hormones are connected very much to female mood and sense of well being and health. This is why some women are prescribed hormonal treatments like the pill.
But what if antidepressant and hormonal treatments don't work? (Here's the way out):
The emotional: I would say this of course being a therapist (#NotBiassedAtAll) but it seems to me that the problem and solution to PPD both lie within the emotional world of the mother. So I routinely check several things when a new client arrives with a medical diagnosis of PPD. If you suffer or have suffered maybe mentally walk through this with me and see if you can relate.
Are you at risk?
Here's a helpful checklist to help you determine if you might be at risk:
- Is there a family history of depression and/or PPD?
- Have you miscarried?
- Have you suffered a bereavement which is unresolved?
- How supported do you feel by your partner, if you have one?
- Are you under financial pressure?
- Have you moved house recently?
- Did you want this baby?
- Did your partner want this baby?
- What was the pregnancy like?
- What was the birth like?
- Did you have a birth-plan and did that work out?
- How were you treated by your birthing professionals?
- Did you feel safe and respected by your gynae/ midwife?
- How does your baby sleep?
- Are you still in physical pain after the birth?
- Are you able to breastfeed if that's what you want to do?
- How is your sex life?
- Was this pregnancy the result of consentual sex?
- Were you ever sexually assaulted, raped or abused?
Some of the connections here are obvious. Birth can also trigger emotional responses to issues that might at first seem unrelated to the birth itself. When I explore the above questions with clients it transpires that these issues feature in PPD sufferers' lives with great consistency – indeed there is much research to confirm this. My experience is by no means isolated or special!
So these questions help me get the invaluable information that will ultimately help my client to understand what has been triggered by the pregnancy and/or birth. We tend to forget how huge giving birth is. Birth has become medicalised and scheduled. So often the emotional needs of the new mother can go unnoticed, and unmet. This is why her relationships and their reliability are vital to her mental well being. People and places where there is intimate connection are important – parents, partner, friends, midwife, gynae, the home, the workplace. Change, loss or reduced security will cause upset that can lead to a diagnosis of PDD. Naturally.
We are not immune to vulnerability, exhaustion and physical pain. We aren't born with parent training manuals and we do not have parenting instincts that are immune to self doubt.
As you can imagine, no drugs will make these issues disappear. So if you are on medication for a known hormonal issue but still feel awful, then maybe what's really going on is on or related to something on this list. And that means it's workable. It'll just take some time, maybe some help. Both of which you deserve.
In my next piece I'll look at some of these issues more closely. And meanwhile:
If you are finding that reading this piece is bringing up painful memories or feelings, please be OK with asking for help. Superwomen don't exist!!

Yesterday Google launched a new product called Helpouts, a website that lets people get and give help over real-time video.
Introduced in August, Helpouts is built around the expertise of consumers and businesses. The search giant imagines the service will be used for things like cooking tips, home repair, guitar lessons, and even healthcare.
At launch, consumers can get help from individuals or from brands like Sephora, One Medical, Weight Watchers, Rosetta Stone, and more. Once in a Helpout, you can share your computer screen, collaboratively edit a document, or record your session.
The video service will launch in a few small categories with the number of people giving help and the type of help available growing over time. Anyone interested in creating a Helpout should be prepared to provide evidence of qualifications, such as certifications, training, and experience.
Thought leaders are often regarded as experts in their respective fields by colleagues and customers. With Helpouts, Google is giving you a new way to profit — though not necessarily financially — from these talents. If you don't already have an invite code, you can request one from Google.
By providing customers with additional information, you're creating a unique connection between consumer and brand, as well as ensuring that the details provided are valuable and accurate. Helpouts will also integrate with Google+, giving the experience a social boost.
