Excitement filled the air as East Hampton's Little League celebrated its opening day on Saturday, April 21, at the Pantigo fields. For one young boy in particular, this was a very special day. The East Hampton Little League Board chose 12-year-old Liam Baum to throw the first pitch for the Girls Little League opener.
Steven Minskoff, president of the East Hampton Little League, has known Liam for most of his life. "He is a courageous young man as he has been battling health issues all his life. I know he loves baseball, and I thought this would be a real thrill for him to have this honor bestowed upon him. He deserves it. And I know we, as a Little League, are excited for him," said Minskoff.
As Liam was watching the team warm-ups, he mentioned that he was "excited" and he had "been practicing."
According to Julie Baum, Liam's mother, he suffers from a seizure disorder called Dravet Syndrome. "Liam is on 13 different seizure medications and is on a medical diet called a Ketogenic diet. It doesn't keep him down, though. He's a natural born athlete. He used to play for the Springs team, but now we go upisland, where there are more opportunities for disabled kids to play sports. Liam is very excited about this opportunity," she said.
Liam's first pitch to Reds' catcher, Susie DiSunno, garnered a roaring round of applause from spectators. His smile said it all.
After having had several seizures the day before the opener, Liam's parents were not sure if he would even be able to make the event. "It takes one week to recover from one seizure," stated Baum, "so you can see what an amazing spirit Liam has."

PSN Deals: GTA V and GTA V Premium Online Editions Discounted on PSN (UK/EU)
There's not much to write about this week when it comes to PlayStation Store sales, at least not here in the UK and Europe. While North America is enjoying a nice little sale with all sorts of offers, us Europeans are left with just a few new discounts this week.
The big name discount this week is Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 which, I think, is down to its lowest ever PSN price: £15.99. That's a great price if you're only interested in getting stuck into the single player content, but if you're wanting to play online and start your own criminal enterprise then you'll probably get a bit more value out of the various Premium Online editions of GTA V. Each of the Premium Online editions come with in-game credit, though the amount obviously varies depending on which bundle you buy.
There are a few more deals to be had if you're not looking for wanton mayhem. Absolver: Downfall has been reduced by 50% while Surviving Mars has dropped from £34.99 to £24.99 – a worthy game for fans of management games. Speaking of which, the Surviving Mars and Cities: Skylines duo-pack has also been given a small discount, but again it's worth a look if that's what you're into.
You can check out the latest deals through here, and if you're in need of PSN credit, head here to bag some from Amazon.
We sometimes link to online retail stores. If you buy something from our links, we may make a small commission which goes towards keeping the lights on and coffee in the pot.

Cape Elizabeth goalie Erin Foley denies a shot from Waynflete's Laura Baginski during the Capers' 16-6 win Tuesday.
South Portland's Noah Lewis throws a strike during last week's 7-0 home win over Noble.
Scarborough's Samantha Brodeur keeps the ball out of harm's way during last week's 13-6 home loss to Falmouth.
Ed. Note: For the complete Cape Elizabeth-Yarmouth and South Portland-Noble baseball and Cape Elizabeth-Waynflete and Scarborough-Falmouth girls' lacrosse game stories, with box scores and photos, see theforecaster.net)
The short and sweet spring sports season has passed the midway point. There has been plenty of excitement so far and every event will take on added importance in the days to come.
Here's a look at what you might have missed and a glimpse at what's to come:
South Portland's baseball team was 7-2 and had moved up to second in the Class A South Heal Points standings at press time after wins last week over visiting Noble (7-0) and host Cheverus (8-0). Against the Knights, Noah Lewis threw a five-hit shutout with 10 strikeouts for his first varsity win, Riley Hasson had three RBI and Jake Poole broke the game open with a two-run triple in a six-run bottom of the fifth inning.
"It feels really good to get a win," Lewis said. "It's fun. I really like this team. I can't wait to keep going."
"It was great to see a sophomore come out and pitch like that and lead the team to the win," Poole said. "He locked in and kept rolling."
"Noah was the story," Red Riots coach Mike Owens added. "We know what he's capable of. I thought he dominated with his fastball. A great performance."
Hunter Owen earned the victory against the Stags, Hasson had three hits and three RBI and Zach Johnson added two hits and three runs driven in. After hosting Windham in a makeup game Wednesday and Deering Thursday (see theforecaster.net for game story), South Portland plays at top-ranked Portland Saturday (see theforecaster.net for game story) and next week visits Thornton Academy Tuesday and two-time defending regional champion Falmouth Wednesday.
Scarborough 5-5 and fifth in Class A South following a 10-0 win at Kennebunk, a 5-3 home loss to Falmouth and a 15-6 home victory over Marshwood. Brian Austin and Morgan Pratt combined to blank the Ram and Noah Frink and Nick Thompson both drove in a pair of runs. In the loss, the Red Storm scored three times in the bottom of the seventh inning, but it wasn't enough. Frink singled, doubled and scored a run. Against the Hawks, Austin had four RBI, Thompson three and Frink and Jack Clark (the winning pitcher) both produced a pair of hits. Scarborough was home with Thornton Academy Thursday, goes to Sanford for a makeup game Friday, visits Massabesic Saturday and plays at Windham Tuesday of next week.
In Class B South, Cape Elizabeth has hit a rough patch. The Capers won their first six games, but had lost three of four at press time and were second behind Wells in the Heals. Last week, Cape Elizabeth eked out a 2-1, nine-inning win at Yarmouth, then dropped a bizarre home decision to Wells, 8-6, and Monday, fell to 7-3 with a 4-2 loss at York. In the victory, Carson Sullivan, who didn't even make it to the game until the fifth inning due to AP testing, earned the win in relief and hit the winning single in the ninth.
"We're a motivated team," Sullivan said. "We cheer each other on. We can get better at everything. Definitely our hitting and stuff in the field too."
"To grind it out at their place and compete was great," Capers coach Andy Wood said. "We worked out of jams."
Against the Warriors, Cape Elizabeth saw a 6-2 lead slip away in the seventh inning and the game ended when it was ruled that the Capers had batted out of order, as Sean Agrodnia made the final out of the bottom of the sixth before leading off in the seventh. Finn Bowe had four hits and scored three runs.
"If this had happened in a playoff game, it would be devastating, but right now, we'll put it behind us and just get ready for the games coming up," Bowe said.
In the loss to the Wildcats, the Capers couldn't hold a 2-0 sixth inning lead. Val Murphy had a run-scoring double. Cape Elizabeth (second in Class B South) looked to bounce back Wednesday at home against Poland before getting another shot at Wells Friday on the road. The Capers welcome Yarmouth Monday.
Scarborough's defending Class A champion softball team improved to 12-0 and extended its regular season win streak to 85 games after downing host Portland (11-0), host South Portland (11-2), visiting Marshwood (13-1, in five-innings) and host Westbrook (12-6). Against the Bulldogs, in a rematch of last year's regional final, Chloe Griffin allowed just two hits and struck out 14 and singled and homered, while Bella Dickinson also hit a home run and Sam Carriero tripled twice. In the win over the Red Riots, Griffin homered and earned the victory, Hunter Greenleaf hit a home run and Dickinson added three hits. Against the Hawks, Greenleaf homered twice Felicia O'Reilly went deep and Dickinson had two hits and earned the victory. In the win over the Blue Blazes, the Red Storm spotted the hosts three first inning runs before rallying behind four hits from Carriero and three from Greenleaf. Scarborough (first in the Class A Heals) hosted Thornton Academy in a potential test Thursday (see theforecaster.net for game story), plays at Biddeford Monday, then hosts Windham Wednesday of next week.
South Portland was 6-6 and ninth in Class A South following a 13-1, five-inning loss at Noble, an 11-2 home loss to Scarborough and a 14-6 victory at Sanford. Maeve Kelley had a pair of hits against the Knights and doubled in the loss to the Red Storm. In the win over the Spartans, Grace Rende homered, doubled and had four RBI and Chloe Grant drove in three runs. The Red Riots went to Thornton Academy Wednesday and play at Windham Monday before returning home Wednesday of next week to meet Westbrook.
In Class B South, Cape Elizabeth was 5-5 and 12th in the Heals after sandwiching wins at Yarmouth (8-3) and York (14-0, in five-innings) around a 7-1 home loss to Wells. Julia Torre had two hits in the loss. Against the Wildcats, Anna Cornell threw a two-hitter, while Torre, Elena Keller and Corinna Page had three hits apiece. The Capers were home with Poland Wednesday, visit Wells Friday, welcome Yarmouth Monday and play at St. Dom's Wednesday of next week.
Boys' lacrosse
South Portland's boys' lacrosse team dropped its second game in a row, 13-4, at Falmouth last Wednesday, then improved to 5-2 and second in Class A South Friday with a 14-4 home win over Kennebunk. Cooper Mehlhorn had three goals in the loss. In the win, David Fiorini had four goals, while Mehlhorn and Alex Stevens had three apiece. The Red Riots have an interclass showdown at defending Class A champion Cape Elizabeth Friday (see theforecaster.net for game story) and host Thornton Academy in another pivotal battle Wednesday of next week.
Defending Class A South champion Scarborough fell to 1-5 after losses last week to visiting Thornton Academy (17-7) and at Cape Elizabeth (8-2). Marco Manfra had both goals against the Capers. After going to Gorham for a makeup game Thursday, the Red Storm (eighth in Class A South) play host to defending Class B North champion Yarmouth Friday and visit Kennebunk Wednesday of next week.
Cape Elizabeth improved to 4-3 (and third in Class A South) following home wins last week over Greely (9-6) and Scarborough (8-2). In the win over the Rangers, which saw the Capers outscore Greely, 3-0 in the final quarter, Ben Carroll had three goals, while Jacob Brydson and Finn Raymond had two apiece. Sam Dresser had three goals and Killian Lathrop added two against the Red Storm. The Capers went to York for a makeup game Wednesday, welcome South Portland Friday and look to avenge a loss when they go to Yarmouth Wednesday of next week.
Girls' lacrosse
On the girls' side, Cape Elizabeth fell to 3-3 last Wednesday after a 9-6 home loss to Yarmouth, but improved to 5-3 and first in Class B after downing visiting Thornton Academy (13-1) and host Waynflete (16-6). Emily Healy scored twice in the loss. Susie Graham scored five times in the win over the Golden Trojans. The Capers then beat the Flyers, their one-time nemesis, for the third consecutive time, as Healy had five goals, Chloe Chapin scored three goals and won 12 of 20 draws and Graham and Karli Chapin each added three goals.
"We played really well today and we knew Waynflete is an incredible team," Healy said. "All the girls really stepped up. We wanted it badly."
"We have really good team chemistry this year," Chloe Chapin said. "We all work as a unit, from the defense to midfield to attack. That really showed on the field today."
"We came to play today and I couldn't be happier for my girls," added Cape Elizabeth coach Alex Spark. "We came out ready to play on both ends."
The Capers go to defending Class A champion Massabesic Friday and welcome North Yarmouth Academy Tuesday.
In Class A South, Scarborough gave first-year coach Emily Hopkins her first win last week. First, the Red Storm dropped a 13-6 home decision to Falmouth despite three goals from Ellie Smith.
"We're a strong first half team, but we haven't been able to finish the last 25 minutes," Hopkins said. "I was pumped how the first half went."
Scarborough then blanked visiting Brunswick, 11-0, as Meagan Neelon and Erin Stolz both scored three times. The Red Storm (ninth in Class A South) go to Greely Friday and play at Gorham Monday.
South Portland was 5-3 and third in Class A South following a 14-1 home loss to Massabesic and wins at Wells (13-5) and Bonny Eagle (11-5). Paige Fleming and Jena Leckie both scored three times against the Scots. The Red Riots host two-time defending Class B champion Kennebunk Tuesday of next week.

Meeting the Tech Needs of Disabled Students
At Pajaro Valley Unified School District, a 7th-grade student with cerebral palsy had been enthusiastically participating in her class's online reading assessment program using the same tablet computer as all middle school students. But because her physical issues caused her eyes to leave the page of the book she was reading and lose her place, she continually tested well below grade level on reading comprehension.
So Shannon McCord, an assistive technology specialist and volunteer liaison in the Watsonville, Calif., district's Technology Services Department, worked to help the girl improve her scores. She wanted to rely on as much common, everyday classroom technology as possible — but was prepared to innovate and customize where necessary.
"I came up with a solution so that she could listen to the text, but I also didn't want to take the text away from her," McCord recalls.
McCord provided the student with an iPod device and a Bookshare account but also tweaked her tablet's browser settings to enlarge the print size and add more conducive fonts and background colors. With this setup, the student continues to read the text in a reading application on her tablet (or in a book at home) while at the same time listening to the text.
"That made all the difference in the world in terms of allowing her to hold or get back to her place on the page," McCord says. "And in just one month, she went from testing at the 3rd-grade level to the 6th grade in reading comprehension."
Versatile Networks Help Accomodate Everyone
The convergence of mainstream consumer technologies and universal access has made it a lot easier for schools to effectively and successfully accommodate students with disabilities and other special education needs in the classroom, says Tim Landeck, director of technology services at Pajaro Valley USD.
But, he's quick to add, that doesn't mean an investment in a cutting-edge IT infrastructure will result in a one-size-fits-all teaching and learning environment for all students.
Percentage of K–12 students in the United States who are formally diagnosed with a learning disability
SOURCE: National Center for Learning Disabilities, "The State of Learning Disabilities," February 2014
The district, which has 20,300 students enrolled in 33 K–12 school sites, has implemented wired and wireless Cisco Systems networks, purchased thousands of Chromebooks and tablet computers, transitioned to cloud computing via Google Apps for Education and begun building "intelligent classrooms" that boast 70-inch video screens, interactive whiteboards, sound field and amplification systems, and document cameras.
This setup helps students with disabilities achieve a more integrated and positive classroom experience. Students are now able to use smaller, mobile mainstream devices that come equipped with built-in universal access tools such as speech-to-text, word prediction, text enlargement, and adjustable screen colors and contrasts. Or they can use everyday classroom technology in conjunction with customized speech-generating devices, Tobii Technology mobile eye trackers, Livescribe recordable pens, refreshable Braille displays, sound field systems and other specialized assistive technologies.
"The technology we have put in place is definitely an advantage for students with disabilities," Landeck says. "But we don't ever assume that just because something is the latest and greatest and works for most of our students — even those with similar disabilities — that it will always be the right or best choice for all students. It still must be very individualized."
Keeping the Playing Field Level
A downside that can come with the wide rollout of networking and digital technologies in K–12 schools is that it creates a skewed understanding of what accessibility means, says Tracy Gray, managing director of PowerUp What Works at the American Institutes for Research, which works to improve educational achievement for students with disabilities.
"We sometimes hear, 'Oh, every kid in the class, the school and the district has a device so we can check off the issue of accessibility,' or 'It's online, so, by definition, it's accessible to everyone,' " she says. "But it doesn't matter how much technology you have or how great it is. It still comes down to taking the time to understand what technology is going to work best for which student under which condition."
Mika Jensen, assistive technology coordinator for Vail School District in Arizona, agrees.
"It's easy to think, 'OK, here's a Chromebook. You're good to go.' Even though the technology is available and even if the student wants to use it and can use it, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the absolute best technology fit for that student given the current curriculum and their learning needs. And it needs to be the best fit if the student is going to excel."
For this reason, true accessibility still begins with the student and developing an effective individual education plan (IEP) before a technology mix is chosen, Jensen says.
"Our special education teams and I look at the students' current goals and what technology is going to best allow them to achieve those goals," he says. "And that's reviewed on an annual basis and sometimes more often because the technology that works best for a student today might not work later in the year, and their needs very often change as they go from one grade level to the next."
Another key to success is breaking down the barriers between the IT and the assistive technology departments, which typically operate and are funded independently, Gray says.
"They need to work together on a regular basis to make sure that their combined resources are meeting the needs of all the students," she says.
Open Communication With All Levels for Full Integration
Pajaro Valley USD began tackling this issue 10 years ago when it initiated the Technology Liaison Program, Landeck explains. Through this program, one certified teacher at each school
site volunteers to serve as a conduit for communication with the Technology Services Department. In addition, the Special Education Department also works closely with and provides information to Technology Services.
"It gives us that insight and develops a strong relationship so each department better understands where we're each coming from, what students at each school are experiencing in the classroom and what mainstream and assistive technologies are available now or will be on the horizon," Landeck says.
When making any new purchases, whether mainstream or assistive technologies, he and his team work closely with manufacturers and resellers to understand integration and support requirements up front. That way, he says, the district avoids surprises when it comes to implementation and use across schools.
Vail School District addresses this issue by letting Jensen wear two hats. Not only does he oversee assistive technology, but he also serves as the site technology coordinator for the Special Education Department.
"If a student or teacher or behavior specialist has an issue with the technology, it gets handled immediately," he says, noting that he also sits in on meetings with the IT team. "That's not the case with other AT coordinators in other districts. They have to put in a technology work order ticket and wait in line. With us, the turnaround time is really quick, and that keeps the playing field level for our students."

I use the Pantene line for natural, wavy hair, for shampoo, and conditioner. For moisturizer I use tea tree oil, and the rest of my products are by a line called Africa's Best including detangler, gel, etc.
Since my big chop, I've gotten my hair professionally done and I don't have to do anything to it, but put a little moisturizer in it when I twist it up at night.
My favorite hairstyle is a dry twist-out on straightened hair! I love the way the curls end up, and how it produces a slight beach wave feel to it!
My natural hair journey was rough! While transitioning, it was hard for me to adapt to not having my hair lay flat down like I was used to, and I didn't really know how to manage it at first. My roughest moment was after taking my kinky twists out, and having half straight hair, and half permed hair when I couldn't do ANYTHING with it. It was so hard to style, and I was desperate.
My proudest natural moment was doing my first twistout after the big chop! I couldn't believe that after all this time I was officially a natural girl!
My tips for other naturals is to just remember that we all may look different, but you're beautiful in your own special way!

Consumerism has to end. By which I mean all of us constantly buying new stuff, to stimulate perpetual growth, as the basis for buoying up economies – as the American public were so famously urged to do by President Bush after 9.11.
It can't go on. Surely. We have to find another model.
This thought struck me very strongly in a shop called The Emporium at Disneyworld, Florida, where I was a couple of weeks ago.
It was Saturday night and we'd decided to head to 'Downtown Disney' – a kind of Disney capital city within the nation state of Disneyworld – for dinner. Me and my beloved pal, Karen and our two tween kids.
Downtown Disney is basically a theme park of consumerism. It consists of bars, restaurants, cafes and shops – all of them entirely Disney, whether they be an Irish pub, a Mississippi steamboat restaurant, a candy store, an ice cream parlour, or the Christmas store.
The Emporium was the department store, selling all the Disney merchandise across all the ranges from the obvious stuffed toys, to jewellery, homewares, gift food, make up, luggage, clothing… I could go on.
Among all the merch, was a roiling mass of temporarily insane people, wild-eyed, foaming at the mouth as they scoped the endless shelves of tempting trinkets, in a state of extreme excitement, adrenalin pumping on a consumer high – anxious lest they miss out on some essential cute item to take home, or purchase as a 'gift'.
To me, it was Dante's inferno, although I did examine the offer in detailed fascination at quite how many ways the Disney icons can be exploited in fundamentally useless objects.
Then I started to imagine how it would all subsequently look in the Illinois homes, Kentucky trailers and New York apartments where it would end up. Where, after an initial coo of excitement it would gather dust and eventually be thrown away.
Is this really what we are exploiting the earth's resources for? I found myself thinking, feeling quite ill at the prospect. Images from the amazing 1982 film Koyaanisqatsi flashed into my head.
If you haven't seen it – I urge you to (the trailer is at the bottom). It's astonishingly moving to watch and hear (the music is by Philip Glass), but way beyond that is the message – even more pertinent today than it was thirty years ago.
The title is a word from the language of the Hopi Indians of the American South West, meaning 'life out of balance' and the film is a breathtaking – and heartbreaking – visual essay of time lapse photography, contrasting the beauty of the natural world, with man's impact upon it.
Watching the crazed consumers in the Downtown Disney Emporium, desperate to snap up their Piglet Pillow Pets, Goofie Picnic Cups, Mickey Mouse Rollerbags, Sleeping Beauty Necklaces etc etc etc, I remembered the moment in the film when it cuts from a beautiful untouched landscape to a heavy digger, clearing the ground for mining.
All that destruction and pollution for rubbish like this. The water tables of central Asia destroyed to grow cheap cotton, the factory cities of China belching out pollution – for a Minnie Mouse oven glove and tea towel set.
Now, I could write what I properly understand about economic theory on the back of a Donald Duck coaster – I'm fairly well across Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes, but then it gets a bit hazy – but it seems to me that the concept of constant perpetual growth being necessary to keep things on an even keel is fundamentally flawed.
We simply cannot sustain ever increasing production indefinitely. It's common sense. We're creating mountains of trash using the resources mined out of real mountains. I have this image of the world collapsing like a balloon, empty on the inside.
There has to be another way and I believe it's going to start from the ground up. Not from elevated ideas, but because our houses are getting full up – see my previous posts on clutter clearing.
Since I've started doing that, using valuable time and energy to clear out stuff I have mindlessly consumed, so I have room to live more comfortably, the urge to bring more stuff in, has left me.
I know it's not just me, or even a tiny minority of hippie types who forage hedgerows for food. Talking to my friends there seems to be an increasing understanding that – just like any other addiction – non-stop shopping creates too many problems in our lives to justify that transient pleasure hit.
So what is the alternative to constant 'growth' as the basis of economies? Can anyone tell me what to read?

Uncle Charlie's | Poor Richards | The Albany
All too often community classics fade to the background with the entrance of new and shiny restaurants making their debut. While there are certainly room for all of our restaurants in town, sometimes it's good to be reminded of our long-established options to become reacquainted!
Uncle Charlie's – 6001 Yellowstone Rd, Cheyenne
With a history that dates back over 100 years, Uncle Charlie's settled into its location off Yellowstone in 1977. The tavern and grill serves food all day, has several private rooms available for private parties, and has an attached package liquor to take the party home with you! They have daily specials if you want to plan your trip to Uncle C's accordingly.
"I'm NOT a barfly here YET! At the end of a busy week, I just come here to unwind, have a $5 Margarita or 2, have some Happy Hour free food, then my week is complete. This harkens back to my younger days when there were bars and pubs back East that would do the same thing on a Friday with discount drinks and BIG discount food on Friday late afternoon/early evening. I'll be coming back regularly as long as the good times roll." –Charles K.
Poor Richard's – 2233 E. Lincolnway, Cheyenne
Cheyenne 1977 was evidently a big year on the restaurant scene, as Poor Richard's also made an entrance in town. Self-dubbed as "Cheyenne's Finest Restaurant", they provide a warm environment with cozy booths in the dining room and a fireplace in the bar area. The menus for lunch and dinner suggest a level of sophistication and are promised to be made with the finest ingredients to order.
"This place is a gem! The salad bar and soup was amazing. Their special this evening was a petite filet minon steak with asparagus. THE TENDEREST FILET I've ever had! Loved the atmosphere as well. Super great service. You gotta try it." – Jenn W.
The Albany – 1506 Capitol Ave., Cheyenne
Immediately adjacent to the Cheyenne Depot building, The Albany is one of those obvious choices downtown that gets overlooked much too often. Like many of the buildings downtown, the venue has been home to a variety of hotels and restaurants as ownership exchanged hands, but the proximity to the Depot made it a sure-fire success from the building's open in 1905. The Albany restaurant as we know it has been in place and owned by the same family since 1942. The menus cover (differing for lunch and dinner) a lot of a ground, with options for just about everyone (including an impressive vegetarian selection!) Specializing in what many would consider "comfort food", the understated restaurant is even home to a few local ghosts, one whom has been said to be seen sitting at the end of the bar, nursing a drink with the patrons.
"Was recommended to this restaurant as a unique "Cheyenne" experience: and that it was. Located in the heart of downtown by the old train depot, it is not fancy but incredibly good. The building is old and doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let looks deceive you. My wife and I had incredible meals at a very reasonable cost. The restaurant was packed with locals and tourists as we left, so don't miss this place for a touch of old Cheyenne." – ColoradoJasper
In this series, we're highlighting some of the restaurants around the county that may be a bit off the beaten path, but are well-worth the stop. Check out the rest of the Off the Eatin' Path for more foodie delights!

Raging Against Big Tobacco – Targeting Our Children
The sad reality of the world we live in is that there is BIG money in Big Tobacco. They've got billions of dollars to throw around in the form of advertising. Over the last few years I think it's safe to say that the general population is getting more in tuned to the dangers of smoking and smokeless tobacco (The "harm reduction" folks aside… but that's another discussion all together ). Big Tobacco knows this… and they're turning their advertising dollars toward the youth of America.
One of our quit forum members had this to say recently:
QUOTE (Mike_Land @ Jan 20, 2013, 10:30 am)
Does anyone besides me want to fly into a rage at the tobacco companies every time they see a display at the store. I mean come on. Is the general population stupid or what? It's obvious to me that they are targeting our children. Why else would they manufacture so many flavors of tobacco that taste like, or look like they might taste like, candy? This week I also read somewhere that the candy flavored tobaccos have higher levels of nicotine. This helps get the kids hooked in a hurry. Another thing I read is that the more "adult" flavor tobaccos like cope, or straight skoal, have lower levels of nicotine in them. This makes you want and have to buy more cans to get the amounts of nicotine your body has to have. I don't know if this is true or not but it makes sense to me. If I were in the business of selling death I would probably use the same tactics. Don't you think it's time that our government , and us, call their bluff? I think the next time the tobacco officials have to testify before congress, and they will, the very first time they state that nicotine is not addictive or that they are not targeting children, they should be thrown in jail for perjury. How about we place a 200% tax or more on tobacco. Every cent of that tax should be reserved to help take care of those who have health problems from tobacco and to educate the children and the rest of the public about the dangers of smoking and chewing. At least the tax would take that particular tax burden off of the rest of us.
I wish I could find a cs that doesn't sell chew or cigs. I would be there best customer.
I'm with Mike. As the father of 3 boys it absolutely makes me sick that Big Tobacco is going after our kids this way. And it's not even as if they're defending it!!! Let's face it, if they can hook a customer early in life it just makes good "business sense". That quite simply makes me ill to even type. If our #1 goal it to help people break free from their addiction to smokeless tobacco, then by extension it's our goal to screw Big Tobacco every chance we get.

Do Not Deal With Auto Repair Until Reading This
Cars can be time consuming and very costly if you aren't sure how to keep them running well. Other than becoming familiar with the brand and model of vehicle that you own, you have other tips and tricks to learn. Continue reading if you want to save time and money.
Battery Charger
Keep a good battery charger on hand at all times. Dead batteries are common, and a good battery charger will come in handy more than once. Make sure you learn the points on your car where the battery charger should be connected.
Regularly check out your radiator. Simply run the engine a few minutes and then cut the engine and lift the hood. Never, ever open the radiator while the car is still on. Check the radiator fluids using a dipstick and remember to always mix the coolant with water before putting it in the radiator.
You do not have to contact a mechanic every time you have issues with your car. You can fix some things easily. Have a look on the Internet and see if you can narrow down what the issue could be. When it's a simple fix, do it yourself!
Research any auto repair service station online. This lets you know how other customers have felt. The information will help locate a local repair shop that you are comfortable with trusting with such an important job.
Regularly clean your headlights to keep them shining bright. Sometimes the road can create a greasy residue on the headlight. Use a reputable glass cleaner to get the job done efficiently.
Windshield Wipers
Don't forget about your windshield wipers. You need new windshield wipers if the ones you have are making noises and leaving streaks on the glass. Your wiper blades should be replaced at least once each year.
Speak with friends and family about where they get their auto repairs done for some good ideas. The people you know can be the best help in finding a reputable mechanic. Word of mouth is important advertising. Don't rely entirely on what your friends tell you, though; do your own research. Checking out online customer reviews for a given garage is a must, and it doesn't take long at all.
Don't fall prey to believing someone who tells you there is a lifetime guarantee for auto parts. This is a lie in an attempt to take your money. For example, some cars come with "lifetime" transmission fluid. This does not mean you never have to change your fluids. They should still be changed at least every 80,000 miles.
It is common for folks to seek repairs for one issue, only to be told that their car has additional problems. They do this to make you think you are getting a bargain. Walk away and find a mechanic who doesn't play such games.
Consistency is very important when it comes to auto repairs. Choose a trustworthy shop and stick with them. Each shop may provide a different answer to your problem. In addition, different shops may charge a different price for the same repair.
For things that aren't too difficult to repair, like putting fluids in your car, you should be afraid to take care of these things. It is a common misnomer that you need a mechanic's services to attend to these items for you. Figure out what you should be doing at first, but allow yourself to get things done on your own.
Take some time before you make your decision on your auto repair. Speak with other dealerships to get different estimates on the job. If someone else is cheaper, pay the shop for labor thus far and go elsewhere.
Although dealer mechanics can be pricy, most of the time they offer the best experience. The dealer's technicians specialize in the model and make of your car. They know what's wrong and can fix it fast. They also stay up to date with training.
If you want to know how to diagnose a car problem, you've got to familiarize yourself with all the car's components. If you do not know much about cars, consider taking an auto repair class. The cost is worth it through the money you save on repairs. That way, you can realize any problems before they get any worse.
As this article has explained, you should achieve a lot of benefits if you put forth the effort to learn more about auto repair. Besides gaining the ability to teach others, you will be able to save money by doing your own car repairs. Use these tips as you begin to take on your own auto repairs.
As you can see by now, there is much to take into consideration when it comes to Get

A Cultural Economies Conference will take place from 5-6 September, presented by the Goethe-Institut South Africa in Johannesburg's Tshimologong Digital Innovation Precinct, as part of the Fak'ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival running from 30 August-8 September 2019
The Fak'ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival aims to explore and celebrate technology and creativity by Africans for Africa. This year, the Festival has cast its central theme as 'Own Your Force' which invites digital makers in Africa to stake their claim on their talent, industry and creative economy.
In the spirit of this year's festival theme, the Cultural Economies Conference will bring together a spectrum of contributors within the cultural and creative industries (CCI). From practitioners to policymakers, the programme will critically engage with the ecosystems and economies of local and continental CCI contexts.
The Cultural Economies Conference will feature future-focused and solutions-driven sessions that unpack the possibilities that tech and innovation offer the creative sector, with the interrogation of topics such as the changing nature of storytelling and blockchain as highly anticipated highlights.
"Stakeholders from across the CCIs are invited to take part in this exciting opportunity for engagement; in the hopes that they will be able to gain insight into the thinking of the CCI around their practice, realities and visions, particularly from an African and future-focused perspective," explained Bandile Gumbi, project manager at Cultural Economies Conference.
As a conference through-line, Colliding Ecosystems explores the spaces of increasing overlap between the creative and digital industries; in particular, taking into account the different contexts and ecosystems in which entrepreneurs need to be able to operate effectively. Economies Of Trust considers what these ecosystems are and need to be, in order to support 'makers', who often find themselves needing to both produce within, as well as be, the ecosystems for their work.
The conference will also interrogate socially orientated vs traditionally capitalist approaches in the context of (intellectual) property ownership and the crossover between the fourth industrial revolution and the cultural and creative industries. In a session looking at Ecosystems of Tech-Knowledge-y, a panel of practitioners will offer their scene-setting perspectives on the intersections between the CCI and digital ecosystems. A look at the legal, policy and communications Frameworks in which these sectors are required to operate hopes to clarify perspectives on pertinent issues.
In addition, a deeper consideration of the Changing Currencies operating in these new economic contexts requires looking at social (as) currency in the 4IR, and the investment required to operate in these changing marketplaces. These ideas are mined in a conversation around 'Communications as the currency of the digital economy'. A session on 'Storytelling as Africa's value proposition' will unpack suggestions for dismantling power structures and hierarchies of visual storytelling across genres and media. Additional engagement will be driven by tech-facilitated creative solutions and mechanisms for digital innovation for the creative sector; including how tech solutions are changing the game, using blockchain, smart contracts and digital copyright solutions.
Lesley Williams, CEO of Tshimologong Digital Innovation Precinct, which will host the Fak'ugesi Festival for a sixth year says the precinct is a natural meeting point for the digital arts community in Africa and across the globe. "This is where African digital artists interact with counterparts from around the world, collaborate around best practice and create something truly memorable," she says.
The 2019 Cultural Economies Conference is supported by, and presented on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GmbH)) and the Goethe-Institut to promote the emerging market of cultural and creative industries in Africa and in the Middle East.

Mandeville, LA – Today's Pile of Prep: most of the stories and research used to put together the Mike Church Show on the Veritas Radio Network's CRUSADE Channel. 2016 is here and WELCOME to the All-New, Mike Church Show on the CRUSADE Channel, listen LIVE for Free (don't cost nuthin').
Sapientia et Veritas – America's rural class was gobbled up in a variety of ways. The consolidation of agriculture, the outsourcing and automation of manufacturing, and franchising of retailing created an underclass dependent on social services and low wages. A smaller and mostly younger group got with the plan, left rural America, fled to the coasts or regional big cities, obtained the proper credentials and became successful. Some in between stayed on and went about their old ways, often confused that the familiar but often empty landscapes and infrastructure might still mean that business could go on as usual.
But the rural shakedown did not mean that our red-state interior tuned out from politics, big business, universities, government, popular culture and mass entertainment. Far from it; cable TV, the Internet, and smart phones plugged rural America into coastal culture as never before. And what fly over country saw and heard each day, it often did not like." – Victor Davis Hanson, The Deplorables Shout Back
Washington State Supreme Court To God: "Drop Dead" – The "Supreme Court" of the state of Washington has just ruled that God did not exercise legitimate authority when he told Moses to "take notes" that became the 10 Commandments. The court also ruled that Sodomites have the "right" to compel anyone employed in business to vend services or products to them in the commission of their mortally sinful actions against God's law, regardless of their religious views on the matter. This is the end folks and this is the line that must not be crossed. After the ruling, the Sodomites then danced on the grave of defendant Baronelle Stutzman. "We're thrilled that the Washington Supreme Court has ruled in our favor. The court affirmed that we are on the right side of the law and the right side of history," Rob Ingersoll and Kurt Freed said in a statement. So the Sodomites are now running the Deep State in Washington and ordering Christians to do their bidding or face public humiliation and financial ruin. Moloch has conquered Washington yet people scoff at my CRUSADE to consecrate the America's to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the states to The Immaculate Heart of Mary!? Will you go "gay" or will you go Carmelite?
Buchanan: The Deep State Took Out Michael Flynn, Time For Trump To Take Out The Deep State – The overpaid, underworked, benighted goons that have annointed themselves as necessary to your and my survival i.e. the SpyFare State, are targeting for termination, anyone President Trump appoints are brings into his inner circle, that is hostile to them. As Pat Buchanan notes, thisis criminal activity that is precisely what Deplorable 'Muricans voted for Trump to bring to a stop. "The real crime here, however, is not that the incoming national-security advisor spoke with a Russian diplomat seeking guidance on the future president's thinking. The real crime is the criminal conspiracy inside the deep state to transcribe the private conversation of a U.S. citizen and leak it to press collaborators to destroy a political career. But the deep state is after larger game than General Flynn. It is out to bring down President Trump and abort any move to effect the sort of rapprochement with Russia that Ronald Reagan achieved." After his press =conference yesterday, I think trump has gotten the memo.
The Church Is Now In A Full-Blown Civil War Over Doctrine: Cardinal Coccopalmerio's book is only the latest example of Catholic teaching being questioned. A few weeks ago, the Jesuit journal La Civiltà Cattolica published a startling article on women priests. Its arguments were familiar: the author, deputy editor Fr Giancarlo Pani, asked readers to consider whether an all-male priesthood might perhaps be outdated. "There is unease," Fr Pani wrote, "among those who fail to understand how the exclusion of woman from the Church's ministry can coexist with the affirmation and appreciation of her equal dignity."
Police State's: Not Just For Krauts & Russkies Anymore – Those ballyhooing the takedown of Michael Flynn by the Deep State are useful idiots and a threat to liberty, and they need to shut up, now. That's not just my conclusion, that's the consensus emerging from those who are Never Trumpers but still have thinking faculties, like Damon Linker: "Those cheering the deep state torpedoing of Flynn are saying, in effect, that a police state is perfectly fine so long as it helps to bring down Trump. It is the role of Congress to investigate the president and those who work for him. If Congress resists doing its duty, out of a mixture of self-interest and cowardice, the American people have no choice but to try and hold the government's feet to the fire, demanding action with phone calls, protests, and, ultimately, votes. That is a democratic response to the failure of democracy. Sitting back and letting shadowy, unaccountable agents of espionage do the job for us simply isn't an acceptable alternative. Down that path lies the end of democracy in America." Well, "democracy" was never supposed to be "the end" of 'Muricah but [r]epublicanism was and yes, this seals the deal. Now, what are the people in the sovereign states to do about it?
The Train Wreck of The Imperial Presidency – Reading the headlines today, it became clear to me that the juvenile protestors and evil Has Been Media™ are kicking back, eating popcorn and enjoying the films they are helping to make: The Trump Show. Marc Ambinder claims to know that everyone who has accepted employment inside Trump's White House is miserable, hates their boss and lives in fear of him. "Trump seems utterly exhausted and just plain miserable. His staff is also surely miserable. Many do not like him. More importantly, they don't trust him. They don't trust Stephen Bannon to translate his core hunches into policy, with only a few exceptions. [emphasis mine]" How could Ambinder possibly KNOW that President Trump's staff is miserable? It matters not because in today'sw Judgement Pornosphere™ drive media, facts don't matter, half-baked "opinions" based on circumstantial evidence is all that is required to continue pulling down a Deep State, McMansion funding paycheck. Alisdair Macintyre, where are you now!?
After Likening Trump To Hitler, Journalists Upset They're Not Getting Called On For Questions: Members of the mainstream media were left fuming this afternoon after President Trump refused to call on any of their organizations for the third straight press conference. Yet many of these same news organizations have likened Trump to the Taliban and Adolf Hitler, floated false rumors about his use of a Russian prostitute, and accused his administration of being pro-slavery. After Trump avoided calling on MSNBC during today's presser with Benjamin Netanyahu, MSNBC's Peter Alexander complained that the conservative journalists he did call on didn't ask "real questions" like he would have.
How The West Was Lost: Globalization Killed Middle 'Muricah & Some Are Happy About It – When the secular globalists slimed their way out of the Soviet Union and the Riviera's , Marxist Mezzanines, headed for 'Muricah, their scheme was to urbanize as much of the West and its yewts as possible; program them to be what the Bee Gees called "Children of The World"; and then turn them against the farms, fields, dairies, small towns, families and Churches from whence they came. Plied full of the elixir of non-stop porn, casual sex and easy money, these children took root on the coasts and in Mordor on the Potomac and then like the spores from Invasion of the Body Snatchers, began to assimilate those "Left Behind" in those now rotting small towns etc. Think that's harsh? Think your little darling wasn't duped by this globalist cabal? Victor Davis Hanson lays out the scam in chilling detail as only he can. "America's rural class was gobbled up in a variety of ways. The consolidation of agriculture, the outsourcing and automation of manufacturing, and franchising of retailing created an underclass dependent on social services and low wages. A smaller and mostly younger group got with the plan, left rural America, fled to the coasts or regional big cities, obtained the proper credentials and became successful. Some in between stayed on and went about their old ways, often confused that the familiar but often empty landscapes and infrastructure might still mean that business could go on as usual." Read the whole piece and then consider our CRUSADE to undo this paradigm and restore order, does it make sense now?
DeceptiCONNED II: The Deep State Claims A Skin In Michael Flynn – As the story becomes known, it appears that Michael T Flynn may have actually been targeted by "Deep State" operatives who cannot allow anyone near the scalpel set to trim the $4.5 TRILLION all-you-can-eat buffet that Mordor on the Potomac has become. Bloomberg's Eli Lake goes so far as to call FlynnGate a "Political Assassination". "Flynn was a fat target for the national security state. He has cultivated a reputation as a reformer and a fierce critic of the intelligence community leaders he once served with when he was the director the Defense Intelligence Agency under President Barack Obama. Flynn was working to reform the intelligence-industrial complex, something that threatened the bureaucratic prerogatives of his rivals." James Madison was right when he warned that a standing army is a "threat to liberty", now imagine what Madison couldn't have: a standing ESPIONAGE army! The Wall Street Journal concurs, Flynn was a PRIVATE CITIZEN when the leak occurred, meaning the spyfare state is waging war to protect the Deep State it is a part of. This is right out of a Tom Clancy novel!
Students wear white pins to remind them of white privilege – Students at Elizabethtown College this month are wearing white pins in the shape of puzzle pieces to remind them of their white privilege.The campaign was launched over the weekend by the Elizabethtown College Democrats, who say it aims to make students at the small and private liberal arts college in Pennsylvania more introspective about issues of race, especially in their predominantly white region of Lancaster County.
Catholics To Pagan Hordes Of Moloch! We Want Our Holidays Back! – The feast day of Saint Valentine was removed from the Roman calendar in 1969 because someone determined there was not enough known about him and then into the breach stepped Moloch and the Sexual Revolution. For decades now, 'Murican children have been exchanging secular greetings of fake love while adults have been herded into making profits for strawberry, diamond, rose and teddy bear vendors. Saint Valentine actually has a very rich history although some of the facts of his life are passed down as part of his cult instead of being written
DeceptiCONNED: Trump Cabinet's First Casualty, Michael Flynn, DeceptiCON – I find it difficult to mourn the loss of Michael T Flynn from President Trump's cabinet but I wager that some DeceptiCONS can muster the never-ending war tears over it. Flynn resigned yesterday after it was revealed he could be compromised by Russians and he misled Vice President Pence on a matter of policy. You can just hear the saber rattlers now with "I told you so… Trump is in cahoots with Putin and the Russians". Daniel Larison agrees that Flynn's departure is a good thing. "Flynn's departure is very good news for the country, and it could be good for the Trump administration if he is replaced by someone less fanatical and much more competent. It was obvious for a long time that Flynn's worldview was warped and a terrible influence on the president, and he never seemed ready for the position he was given. The dysfunction of Trump's National Security Council may not have been entirely his fault, but it was his responsibility and he was clearly not getting the job done." Maybe the President will now turn to someone Ron Paul could love?
From Obama With LGBTQrstlne Love – Not a shockuh here: Trump Administration Retains Obama's LGBTQ Envoy at State Department. I wrote about this last week and talked about it on the show too. That President Trump is not a "social conservative" (whatever that may be) is not at issue but he has surrounded himself by them including the "Second Most Powerful Man In The World" Stephen K Bannon and Vice President Pence. But folks, understand this, 'Murican society does not view LGBTQ "lifestyles" as disordered, nay, they are viewed as extraordinary and in need of a long past-due avalanche of respect and acceptance and in this, Truth is the ultimate casualty. This is the societal paradigm I have been speaking of for years now and there remains no chance of restoring the correct order to our affairs while primal issues of morality remain misunderstood.
The Walking Dead: How Zombies & Tyrant Libs Try And Destroy The Proper Order – If you haven't watched the Walking Dead TV show, you could spend a couple weekends catching up on Netflix before diving into this last season which is filled with what I can only characterize as a defense of tradition! Note that über bad-guy tyrant's last act of society wide tyranny was what? A gun registration program that led to gun confiscation! Dead also refused to take the cheap shot of placing gay men in positions to make statements with their homosexuality instead portraying at least one of them as valuable for their contributions to the clan while NOT sexually acting. Then there is the character Morgan who I have been cataloguing in his campaign for life. Yes, pro-life!
"We don't have to kill people," says Morgan and Carol replies "of course we do." "Carol," says Morgan, "[y]ou don't like it."
Scott Morefield has an interesting take on Negan's gun confiscation campaign and Rick Grimes and company's congealing view that it and life, liberty cannot exist together. Morgan has an ongoing struggle with Carol over when killing is justified and when its not. Yes, a "Just War" theory discussion! More on that here.
Will You Go 60 Year Old Or Will you Go Carmelite? – Ben Shapiro, host/editor of The Daily Wire gets the opportunity to talk some seriously misguided yewts at Ferris State University in Big Rapids MI. Shapiro fields a question about the "right" to "choose" your gender being a human right that must be accepted, promoted and defended by all. Watch and learn how to position yourself as a Carmelite in the DC culture.
Today is World Radio Day Or More Appropriately, World Noise Day – I'm not sure what World Radio Day is all about today but Bishop James recalls that Aldus Huxley wrote about the "Age of Noise" 70 years ago and he was writing about radio. This before "Rock-N-Roll", soft core porn on Country Music and loudmouths screaming war on talk-radio. Bishop Conley tells us what World Radio Day could be.
Stand With Rand: The Junior Senator From KY Is Hunting DeceptiCONS – I spent two Presidential election campaigns stumping for Congressman Ron Paul, largely because I agreed with him 98% of the time, but I also saw in Paul a man of actual principals who would not be moved by the whims of the Judgement Pornosphere™. Pauls' son Rand has always shown some of these qualities despite running a mercurial campaign for the GOP nomination won by President Trump. Now it appears that Paul has made it a cause celebre to thwart the DeceptiCONS infiltartion of Trump's State Department. W. James Antle III points out that Paul is enjoying some success at this including his oath that the war-lusting "Ambassador" John Bolton must not be allowed any position at State.
The Sound of Trump Music – Singer Joy Villa showed up at the Grammy Awards clad in a "Make America Great Again" dress AND sporting a Sacred Heart of Jesus-styled purse. Ain't 'Muricah great?
Will You Go Woman Or Will You Go Carmelite – Just when you thought the gender wars couldn't turn any more weird, we hear that Holyoke College, a women's university, is now denying that there is such a thing as "woman" that can be anatomically defined. I'm not making this up: Holyoke doesn't want to offend anyone "transitioning" to a woman [see Bruce Jenner] and thus now condemns the sex that gives the university its existence. The deranged inmates truly are running the asylums we call universities folks and the virus has not been contained therein. Natasha Vargas Cooper makes this and other important points in her feature piece in this month's American Conservative Magazine, peppered with sapientia like this: "The trouble arises when we are asked to concede to the rhetorical demands: when we are told to concede that womanhood is a construction and not a matter of biology; that surgical mutilation is brave; that men who decide to become women are immune from criticism after they've taken a certain amount of estrogen; that expression of discomfort is bigotry; and that the cause of women's political and economic liberation is somehow hindered if we alienate transgendered women or if we discuss the realities of women's biology." Read the entire article for an honest look at a dishonest "movement".
We're All President's Now. 9th Circuit Court To President Trump "Drop Dead" – The 9th Circuit Court predictably ruled that a Circuit Court Judge in Seattle is President and that Donald Trump, the actual President needs to stand down and stop trying to be President. The 9th Circuit actually claims that it is within "their rights" to review all Executive actions!
The Campaign To Place 43 Year Old Perverts In Your Daughters Bathroom Was Always About Sex – The statistics now bear out that if you give 'Murican males the opportunity, vast majorities of them, raised and steeped in a "culture" of pornography and instant gratification for all desires of the flesh, will take it. The amazing thing to witness are the Useful idiots who carry water for the perverts under the lame guise of "diversity" or "inclusiveness".
When Underwear Becomes Political We have A Problem – So the CEO of Underarmour dares to pay President Trump a compliment and thus brings a rain of fire and brimstone down upon himself and his company. The day is save for high priced underwear when "The Rock" takes to Instagram to quell the rioters.
The Cult of Death In Media Gets One Right? – I Have not seen the HBO series "The Young Pope" but Matthew Schmitz at First Things has (a Catholic commentary blog) and he likes it…nay he loves it. I was told that blasphemy abounds and, a as a friend described it to me "if you wonder what the Vatican would look like as Sodom or Gamorah, Young Pope is for you". But Schmitz says that is not the case, that Young Pope actually is a challenge to the Francis Papacy and its obsession-like war with doctrine and tradition. "Paolo Sorrentino, who wrote and directed the series, does not seem to be a traditional Catholic. As with most recent treatments of faith, a little more religious literacy would have gone a long way. Nonetheless, The Young Pope reveals the exhaustion of attempts to make the Church attractive by conforming it to the world. Reveling in supposedly old-fashioned garments like the papal red shoes and wide-brimmed saturno, it shows how attractive an unapologetically traditional Catholicism can be." Do readers have comments, advice for others on this series?
DeceptiCONNED II: The Carbon Tax Cometh – Don't wanna say I told ya so, but man, I hate being right about these things: Prominent Republicans Pitch Carbon-Tax Plan to Top Trump Aides
The "Great Manipulator", Steve Bannon, Is Responsible For The CRUSADE Channel – If the Has-Been-Media wanted a sideshow story to go along with Time Magazine's cover story this week showing my replacement on the SiriusXM Patriot Channel, Steven K Bannon they might contact me. I read with great attention the description Mr Bannon's decades long quest for revenge for the obilteration of the working class and their vocations in the Rust Belt. The author of the Time story actually quotes Bannon from his early days as my replacement on Patriot, this is amazing: I was that close to world-dominating-power! "[A friend] too, was struck by what he calls Bannon's "rather severe outlook on what our nation is going through." Bannon noted repeatedly on his radio show that "we're at war" with radical jihadis in places around the world. This is "a global existential war" that likely will become "a major shooting war in the Middle East again." War with China may also be looming, he has said. This conviction is central to the Breitbart mission, he explained in November 2015: "Our big belief, one of our central organizing principles at the site, is that we're at war." Of course the above narrative is served only in response to the Time story because I harbor nothing but amity towards Mr. Bannon who also filled in for me a dozen or so times when I was on SiriusXM Patriot, but man, I was that close to *sarcasm* "RULING THE WORLD"! If you have a Time subscription read the whole thing here, Rod Dreher has excerpts.
Revealed For Realz: The Diabolical, Dumbocrat Party & Its Horde of Teachers Union Orcs – Yesterday, the Vice President (Mike Pence) cast the tie-breaking vote on the nomination of Betsy DeVoss as Secretary of Education. WHY did the Dumbocrat Party invest weeks of phone calls, emails, TV and internet ad campaigns to defeat the Education nominee? Two words: teachers unions. These diabolical hordes that have controlled the "public education establishment" since the 1950's have huge unions that rely on Mordor's patronage and protection. The mere suggestion that private or even public "charter" schooling might get a boost from Trump is cause enough to ring the "all hands on deck" alarm in Hades: this is war. As the WSJ explains this is about evil's survival: "The answer is the cold-blooded reality of union power and money. The National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers are, along with environmentalists, the most powerful forces in today's Democratic Party. They elect Democrats, who provide them more jobs and money, which they spend to elect more Democrats, and so on. To keep this political machine going, they need to maintain their monopoly control over public education." We should all pray that President Trump is swayed to bring the DOE to an end by castrating the beast from the inside, listen to Kevin Gutzman and my conversation about this on this week's Constitution hour.
MSNBC: Watch Out For "All The President's DEAD Men" – If there is such a thing as a "journalist" at MSNBC you may spend the next four years looking for the creature and come up empty handed, then there's Katy Tur. In an interview with U.s. Senator Deb Fischer, Tur insisted that because President Trump has disdain for the obvious bias shown him by "journalists" that he might "go after them" and that may result in "suspicious deaths". So now President Trump, because he has not publicly, loudly denounced then threatened President Putin, must think all that Putin does or has done is good, wholesome and repeatable. What's next, because President Trump hasn't by name done the same for insert bad guy name here, he harbors secret desires to copy their work too? The madness of the Has-Been Media grows daily as Katie Couric's channeling the thoughts of transgender fetuses showed us. Then There's This…
They're Baaaa-aaack! Angry, Ugly Women, Pledge, Angry Ugly Strikes Against… Anyone NOT Them – The Facebook event reads: "It's time to RESIST. It is time to defend all people, including workers, immigrants, Muslims, Women, LGBTQ people. It is time to defend our climate, our schools and our unions." It should be achieving clarity that the diabolical forces of Baphomet are mobilizing their Orc legions for the ultimate counter-strike to defend then re-impose the Cult of Death that 'Murich has just inched away from.
All Hail His Excellency, Emperor Robart I, Keeper Of The Immigrant Flame – The Wall Street Journal, the WaPo, the NY Times and the rest of the usual suspects in Has-Been Media™ are certain that Federal Judges have the power to issue nationwide edicts from their "benches" then have them carried out by the legal peasantry. Someone notify the storm troopers on Hoth. In an unprecedented legal move, Judge James L Robart of Seattle Washington. Robart, without bothering to cite any Constitutional precedent but instead relied on two previous Federal Court cases, claims to have halted implementation of President Trump's Executive Order on immigrant travel into the United States from his perch to the Ice World of Hoth and back. Congress has the ultimate authority to rectify this situation by either passing an immigration bill that contains Trump's ban or by ordering the Article III Judiciary to stop hearing cases brought against the Trump Administration as they should have done after Roe V Wade, Obergfeldt and dozens of other federal judiciary acts.
Radio Killed The Talk-Radio Star – The massive upheaval that clobbered the newspaper publishing, magazine publishing and book publishing feields will next clobber TV and movies and then finish the analogue media apocalypse by doing in what remains of terrestrial radio. That last prediction comes from y/t not essay author Nick Bilton who is spot on with the future of the Has-Been Media. "But [the sloth seen on TV show sets] reinforces an eventuality that seems both increasingly obvious and uncomfortable—one that might occur to you every time you stream Fringe or watch a former ingénue try to re-invent herself as a social-media icon or athleisure-wear founder: Hollywood, as we once knew it, is over." The future of broadcast radio will be similarly affected, with consolidation coming soon to digital-mobile platforms. If Clear Channel et al are not met in the breach and mom and pop channels like CRUSADE are not supported, the end of Talk-Radio as we once knew it is over.
It's February 2017 And The Immodesty Is About To Go Nuclear Because It WENT Nuclear – Venerable Bishop Sheen called out 'Muricah back in the 1960's while speaking to a group of young Catholics on "Youth and Sex": "8:15 in the morning, the 6th of August, 1945, when we flew a military plane over this city, when we dropped that atomic bomb on it; that bomb on blotted out boundaries. There was no longer a boundary between the military and the civilian, between the helper and the helped, between the wounded and the nurse and the doctor, between the living and the dead. For even the living who escaped the bomb were already half dead. So we broke down boundaries and limits and from that time on the world has said we want no one limiting me. … You want no restraint, no boundaries, no limitsI have to do what I want to do. Now let's analyze that for a moment, is that happiness?"
The Tragedy of Post Christian, Philosophia Perennis Devoid Thinking – Read this piece from AmConMag writer Noah Millman to get a closeup view of why Philosophia Perennis is so desperately needed to corral the erroneous thinking Men are sure to engage in when NOT grounded in the eternal quest for True Wisdom i.s. Sapientia. The issue Noah, is not whether "only the Saints" can live by the Magisterial code, it is that by God's Grace the Saints DID live the Tradition WHILE receiving the Graces needed to do so. You cannot approach Grace as zero sum, mathematics, as in if I do ______ I will receive ______ "Grace credits" but if I do ______I will have deducted ______ Grace Credits. Grace is present in the world and we are given the supply needed at Baptism, the suffering of the Christian Faithful is simply to maintain the state you enter at Baptism, using the Gospels and the Traditional Teaching as MEANS to that END. As Padré Gaetano tells us in Humility of Heart: "And has not a saint abundant reasons, from the thought of his own weakness, to live always in a state of great humility, when he knows that from one hour to another he may lose the grace of God and the kingdom of heaven which he has merited by years of laboriously-acquired virtues? "Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it."

Clash of views over music levels in Los Gigantes
A war of words has broken out over the sound of music in Los Gigantes.
Some residents living in the heart of Los Gigantes have complained music in nighteries, restaurants, clubs and bars is too loud.
They argue the sound of music from different venues creates a confusing clash of sound affecting the village's gentle relaxed atmosphere.
Local police are believed to have visited a wide-ranging establishments in the community reminding them of bylaws surrounding playing music and high decibel counts.
And they have warned businesses sound levels have to be reduced in the late evening.
But in an angry backlash, local social media has been thronged with posts in defence of the music.
And one popular band, who did not want to be named, have threatened to pull the plug in playing at the resort all together.
Their spokesman said: "We take monitors to all the venues where we perform as we have to hear the backing tracks. "
"This gives us a better distribution of sound. Without them we would also be straining our voices," he explained.
"People who come to see acts come to watch a show. If people just want to have background music they should go somewhere else.
"Holidaymakers want to be entertained which is why the bars with live music are the ones which are busy."
And another local showbiz personality asked: "Why do people buy or rent an apartment right by places that have live entertainment —then moan about the noise?
"My understanding is you can have music on till midnight at a reasonable level. Then it either goes off or the venue close their doors which I believe is what happens in Los Gigantes.
"But the past few weeks have been ridiculous. Venues are constantly looking out for police in case they get a visit.
"These businesses are trying to make a living and so are the people who perform and work in them."
He said he believed the complainants did not live in the village all year round but spend three or six months of the year there.
"There are a lot of folks on holiday who want to have a good time and the whingers and moaners are killing the atmosphere for holiday makers who spend a lot of money in these bars which help keep the area alive," he claimed.
"Without these venues do these moaners really think this village would be what it is?"
Another long-time local declared: "I cannot understand anyone who purchases a property in a holiday village and expects peace and quiet 24 hours a day.
"Los Gigantes is a sedate peaceful village… there must be a way to cater for all or the place will simply die," he warned. Meantime, there is a move among business owners, backed by locals, to consider sending a deputation to see the council to air their views.

Changes to health care laws implemented in 2014 required Medicaid and private insurance companies to provide full coverage for treatment of substance use disorders. In spite of the expansion of health care coverage, finding a way to pay for buprenorphine remains a challenge for many publicly-funded addiction treatment providers.
According to the SAMHSA publication, Medicaid Coverage and Financing Medications to Treat Alcohol and Opioid Use Disorders, Medicaid covered buprenorphine in all 50 states in 2013.1
However, a 2016 study that published results of a nationwide survey of state Medicaid programs found that states vary considerably in how they cover medications for opioid use disorders.2
See the related article: Medicaid Coverage for Addiction Treatment Varies Dramatically
Most private insurance companies also now cover buprenorphine and other FDA-approved medications to treat addiction. Coverage is often tightly controlled due to restrictions such as:
Many treatment organizations have been able to offer buprenorphine treatment through other sources of funding.

The Industry 4.0 software developed by Nidec Arisa is divided into two phases: Sensorization and big data.
During the sensorization phase, the software tries to compile all data related to machine output and performance by measuring parameters such as temperature, force or vibrations, as well as the different speeds at which a press works, and controlling consumptions. From these measurements, Press Intelligence is capable of identifying anomalous behaviours in order to apply corrective measures and thus avoid unnecessary stoppages. All these measurements are subsequently filtered – the big data phase – in order to come up with algorithms for predicting future actions of the machines.
Press operating modes
Output ratios
Working hours
Parts produced
Measurement of energy consumption in kWh. Optimisation of the press' operation by disconnecting unnecessary elements according to the operating mode the press is in.
Calculation of the cost in kWh per part.
Temperature measurements.
Measurement of oil quality (particle type analysis, expiration…) as an indicator of machine wear.
Measurement of vibrations with accelerometers.
Monitoring of most common failures.
Alerts regarding incidents via email/SMS.
We work in this second phase of the Industry 4.0 project jointly with the customer.
Through work sessions and with our advice, the parameters are fine tuned to meet to every customer's needs. The choices are endless.
