Reflections on Border and Internal Security Battles – An exclusive interview with Robert H. Goldsborough
By Peter Gemma
The Social Contract, Volume 22, Number 2 (Winter 2011-2012); Issue theme: "AAAS – American Association for the Advancement of Silence?"
Summary: For more than 50 years, Robert Goldsborough has been involved in the immigration reform movement, particularly the vital link between protected borders and national security. He was appointed by Congressman Francis Walter (D-PA) as a staff investigator for the House Committee on Un-American Activities, served as a speech writer for Gov. Louis Nunn (R) of Kentucky, and has headed up national organizations opposing illegal immigration from the mid-1960s until today. TSC Contributing Editor Peter Gemma recently interviewed Mr. Goldsborough.
TSC: Bob, it's so nice to get re-acquainted with an old friend and veteran activist. In the late 1950s, you worked with Congressman Francis Walter, who co-authored the important McCarran-Walter Immigration Act. Tell me about that legislation and the fight to get it enacted.
RG: Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada, chairman of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, and Pennsylvania Congressman Francis Walter, chairman of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, sponsored the legislation. The McCarran-Walter Act moved away from immigration based upon country of origin. Instead it focused on those who were willing and able to assimilate into the U.S. economic, social, and political structures. That changed how immigration law was handled. The 1952 Act set a total quota of about 155,000 persons each year — the figure was based on one sixth of 1 percent of the number of persons in the U.S. in 1920 and who traced their origins to a specific country. Half of each quota was first for certain groups whose skills and services were needed, 20 percent for spouses and children of permanent resident aliens, 30 percent for parents of adult American citizens, brothers, sisters, and adult sons and daughters of U.S. citizens. Other immigrants could come in on unused portions of the required quotas. Non-quota immigrants and refugees increased total annual immigrant numbers to approximately 300,000 per year. The Act established a preference system that determined which ethnic groups were desirable immigrants and placed great importance on labor qualifications. President Harry Truman vetoed the bill, but Congress overrode the President's veto by large margins in both the House and Senate. Congress did so partly to ensure the enactment of the bill's domestic security provisions. McCarran-Walter authorized the deportation of any alien who engaged or had purpose to engage in activities prejudicial to the public interest or subversive to national security. We understood then that the solution of the problems of Europe and Asia would not come through a transplanting of those problems en masse to the United States.

One thought on "An interview with Robert H. Goldsborough"
Thank you for posting this. The history of immigration laws in America is generally hidden by the media.
PS. Ron Paul just went full PC Commisar on the immigration reform movement, likening us to Nazis.

Yesterday I just caught a part of the above film. Anna was at the center parterre theatre watching "Swan Lake" (Vronsky was at a Grand Tier, or soemthing similar). My doubt is how accurate that is, as Swan Lake was premiered in 1877 in Moscow, and in 189-something in St Petersburg. Could the characters in the novel be really watching Swan Lake, or is that inaccurate historically?
Also I must confess I never read the novel, so I do not know if Tolstoi really mentions that specific ballet, or if that was the film director's responsibility.

It's been years since I read the book, but I recall no scene involving "Swan Lake," and I do not believe the dates match up. Sounds like you saw the version with Sophie Marceau?

Yes, Dirac, it is the version with Sophie Marceau that I saw.

It's an uncomfortable moment for any parent. It's the moment you realize your teen is dating. One expert says talking to your teen about healthy relationships is important, but it doesn't have to be awkward.
Dr. Melissa Kottke, the Director of Emory University's Jane Fonda Center for Adolescent Reproductive Health, says talking to your teens about dating doesn't have to be scary."What do we all want? We want our teens to be happy and we want our teens to be safe. So there's a good opportunity to help young people understand and build healthy dating relationships that can actually help us accomplish both," said Kottke.She says conversations should start well before the teen years. Studies show that kids are beginning to date at younger ages, and dating just means engaging in relationships, not necessarily having sexual relations."We want to teach kids what they should be expecting in relationships with other people. And what they should be delivering in their relationships to other people at a very, very, very young age," Kottke said.Dr. Kottke says to talk to your teen about what a healthy relationship looks like."Is there acceptance in that relationship of who you are? Do you have good communication skills? Are you able to disagree respectfully and safely? Those things are all really important components of healthy relationships," said Kottke.Kottke says talking is great, but parents should model that good relationship behavior. Kottke also suggests using the media that bombards your teen to your advantage. When watching TV with your teen, use that moment to pick their brain about relationships."What a great opportunity to say hey, what did you think about that? Do you think that those two just showed each other respect? Do you think that that was demonstrating caring or honesty? How might you do that differently? What would you do if that happened in your relationship," explained Kottke.
February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month, so there's no time like the present to start this conversation. For more information on teen violence prevention, click here!

Comments about 1/4-in Mortise Chisel and Bit:
I bought an expensive set of mortise chisels but the 5/8" shank would not fit in the Powermatic 5/8" bushing, so I bought a Powermatic mortise chisel. The first surprise I got was the Powermatic mortise chisel has a 3/4" shank which is bigger, beefier and more stable. The shank fits into the 3/4" bushing perfectly. It slides in easily but is very tight with no play or slack, so no run out. This results in a much better mortise with tighter fitting tenons. The auger is excellent and the stem long, which is perfect for easy use. The steel is hardened and I expect the edge on the mortise chisel will last a long time. Overall I am very satisfied with the quality, 3/4" shank, and long stem on the auger. I contacted my local machine shop and they suggested turning the 5/8" shanks with an emery cloth, which might work perfectly, however, I am going to buy Powermatic mortise chisels from now on for my Powermatic mortiser so I can avoid an unnecessary trip to the local machine shop.

As the temperatures drop, the federal funding for heating assistance may also be dropping this year. It's assistance that over 30,000 families in Rhode Island count on. Families like the Rogers, who with a sick child at home, had a tough time making ends meet.
Last winter, the Rogers received help from the Good Neighbor Energy Fund, a Salvation Army program in it's 28th year. A program that with the help of donations pays one months energy bill for those in need. Rachel Rogers says, "You can concentrate on something else, it doesn't eat at you constantly because you know it's not just you who is affected, you have children you have to keep, and you have to take care of and you have to provide for."
This year the program has set a goal to raise $550,000 to go to families in need. Major Wendy Kountz, Rhode Island State Coordinator for the Salvation Army says, "We are seeing that the need is greater this year, our phones have been already ringing since October with people needing help just getting their heat turned on."
Yellow envelops can be found in your energy bills to send in donations. Rogers says any amount can help. "You don't realize that those few dollars you put in, you don't realize how many people you touch. For my family it's four people. That month you helped me, you didn't just help me you helped four people."
Last year the program helped over 1,000 Rhode Island families.

To what extent can an idea be unique?
Are all ideas just the combination of known principles or trial and error? Examples and peronal experiences are good as well as just opinions. This question could be expanded to any thought at all, not just ideas. If there is a thought that is almost entirely unique, there can't be any previous oppposite idea. What I mean is if an idea is the exact opposite of another it isn't really original. It just stated the opposite. If an entirely original idea can be made, how will it be formed?
I have some opinions currently, but I'm sure they'll change after your comments. Please ask me to expand or clarify if needed.

While most attention on the Godbeat is focused this week on a possible but not probable Anglican schism, the Vatican has started the clock ticking on a real Catholic schism it wants to settle once and for all. And it wants an answer by Saturday (not much Anglican-style muddling through there!). A slow and patient strategy by Pope Benedict to deal with the traditionalist rebels in the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) has now reached the endgame phase.
Andrea Tornielli (left), the well-informed vaticanista of the Milan daily Il Giornale, has produced two scoops in recent days about an ultimatum the Vatican has presented to the "Lefebvrists". He first reported in Il Giornale on Monday that the pontifical commission "Ecclesia Dei" had told SSPX leader Bishop Bernard Fellay that the Swiss-based rebel group should accept by June 28 the reforms of the Second Vatican Council and the validity of the new Mass ("Novus Ordo") that replaced the old Latin Mass if it wanted to return to the full communion with Rome that was broken in 1988. Tornielli reported today on his blog Sacri Palazzi the actual conditions as written to Fellay (see Fr. Z's English translation). If the SSPX accepts them, it can become a "prelature" within the Catholic Church, much like Opus Dei is now. If not, they lost their best chance at rejoining Rome and having any influence on the Vatican.
They have already had considerable influence. Pope Benedict has resurrected the old Latin Mass, one of the main SSPX demands. But that was not actually the heart of the matter. His demand that the SSPX must in return accept Vatican II, including its statements on religious freedom, is the one that sticks in the Lefebvrists' throats the most. This two-track approach seems to be a strategy to welcome back those traditionalists who really just wanted the Latin Mass, and isolate the harder-line types who rejected Vatican II completely.
The conditions, as Tornielli lists them, are written in code to make them as acceptable as possible to the SSPX. So they do not mention accepting Vatican II reforms, but the demand to "avoid the pretence of a Magisterium superior to the Holy Father" and "to demonstrate the will to behave honestly in full ecclesial charity and in respect to the authority of the Vicar of Christ" covers that. Another condition is that the SSPX "avoid any public speech which does not respect the person of the Holy Father and which can be negative for ecclesial charity". This is effectively a muzzle on SSPX leaders who can be surprisingly critical of the Vatican they say they want to rejoin.
Only a few weeks ago, Fellay produced just the kind of outburst that would be banned if he accepts these conditions. In a sermon commenting on Benedict's visit to the United States, he said: "And now, we have an absolutely liberal Pope, my very dear brothers. He went to this country [the United States] founded on Masonic principles of a revolution, of a rebellion against God. And, well, he expressed his admiration and fascination for this country that has decided to grant liberty to all religions. He went so far as to condemn the confessional State. And they call him a traditionalist? Yes, this is the truth. He is absolutely liberal and absolutely contradictory. He has some good sides, which we hail and for which we rejoice, such as what he has done for the Traditional liturgy. What a mystery, my very dear brothers, what a mystery!"

Portal 2 to Feature User-Made Levels on All PlatformsUnlike its predecessor, Portal 2 will feature user-made levels on all platforms. In an interview with NowGamer, Valve's Chet Faliszek confirmed that PC-made mods will be available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
"The mod tools have to stay on the PC side just because there's a bunch of depedencies that require the Windows platform," he said. "But the content that comes out is agnostic, and so we will be seeing that on all the platforms. Depending on the platform you're on I should say, will depend on how we're delivering it."
The PS3 version will probably deliver the content via its own recently revealed Steam partnership. It's unclear right now how Valve will deliver content to the generally more closed Xbox 360 platform.

White Paper: Can your bank become 'channel agnostic? '
Bankers explore future with BANK 2.0's Brett King
- |
- By Steve Cocheo
- |
- Comments: comments
If you think the branch is really where your bank's future lies, settle in for mediocrity.
Sound harsh? Brett King is trying to wise up banks about their future, not make them feel good about themselves.
"Every channel is important—branches are just one," says King, a banking consultant and futurist.
In his book BANK 2.0: How Customer Behavior And Technology Will Change The Future Of Financial Services, King warns:
"A staggering 90% of daily transactions are executed electronically today. Institutions that hold on to the belief that physical branches remain at the core of what the brand does, will not adapt easily to the customer of tomorrow who rarely visits a branch or the customer who sees no need for an over-the-counter transaction with cash or checks. Those who still classify the internet, ATM, and iPhone applications as 'alternative' channels will be playing catch up for the next decade, while intermediaries will increasingly capture niche service opportunities...."
"Understand one thing. Customers are not going back to the old ways of banking. They are moving forward. If you are not moving forward with them, then they will pass right by you-at warp speed."
Talk like that led ABA Banking Journal to interview King and put his story on the cover of the September edition. You can find a link to that story below. But savvy bankers will want to hear that whole conversation, not just highlights. You can do that here, and learn more about King's book.
Touch The Future:Keep Your Bank Relevant
Hear the conversation between Brett King and bankers from Ohio Valley Bank [Jodie McCalla (l.), Bryna Butler (c.), and CEO Jeff Smith(r.) ] about how smaller banks can adapt and take advantage of shifts in customer behavior. The full discussion behind the September article.

Beginning tonight at 8 p.m., kids can watch old favorite friends Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Pluto in new animated shorts.
"The beloved Disney icon is getting another surge of fame with the release of brand-new animation aimed at kids 6-14 that will air on Disney Channel. Kicking off Friday, June 28 the roll-out of comedy cartoons will include new shorts featuring Mickey — as well as Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto — and will be both old-fashioned, with retro 2-D animation, and feature a few "contemporary touches" as well…."
"The first Mickey Mouse will air Friday, June 28 at 8:00 p.m. ET; "Yodelberg" will premiere Saturday June 29 at 8. After the premiere weekend, new shorts will continue to roll out on Friday nights starting July 5 on Disney Channel."
EW has an exclusive preview of a Minnie and Mickey cartoon on their site. (It won't let me embed the player.)
I used to love Mickey cartoons but my favorites always involved Chip and Dale outwitting Donald Duck. I also like Huey, Dewey and Louis and Scrooge McDuck.
Who were your favorite characters from the old Mickey cartoons? Will your kids tune in to see the new cartoons? Will you be more excited than your kids?
June 28th, 2013
9:11 am
LOL, I thought it was clothes. I was wondering if tee shirts were available too, or just the shorts?
June 28th, 2013
9:24 am
Did the Fab 5 get a new look too?
Fab 5 is what Disney calls Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto as a group.
Core 4 is what Disney calls Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore. (you'll thank me if it wins you beer at trivia!)
June 28th, 2013
9:35 am
My kids love the old MM and such cartoons. I was not fond of them. Loved the comic books though. Morty and Ferdie were my favorite Disney characters back then.
Comic book wise you can make mine Marvel (and yes Marvel is over at Universal's Islands of Adventure but Disney has owned Marvel since 2009).

I'm totally down with this. Have always loved old Disney shorts.
My kids still love them too when they're on Disney Channel between shows.

see I thought they updated the Fab 5 look….
Funny how that headline has (at least) 3 different meanings
June 28th, 2013

I also though this was about clothing that looked like the famous mouse profile… and I was wondering if they were going to use the nose as a codpiece.

Why would a TV channel introduce short pants?
June 28th, 2013
1:08 pm
I didn't watch many of the Disney shorts. Growing up, we didn't get Disney Channel because it was still part of the "Premium" cable package, along with HBO, Cinemax, and Showtime. I remember how upset I'd get when I'd look in the TV Week the AJC used to put out and see some Disney movie airing one night, but I couldn't watch it because we didn't get Disney.
Of the ones I have seen, none of the main characters are really my favorite. I like them all, yet there's something about them all that annoys me. I grew up with the Warner Bros. characters (Bugs Bunny et al.) so I was more fond of them.
I preferred the "Silly Symphonies" Disney shorts, the ones that didn't feature any of the well-known characters. One of my favorites would have to be "The Old Mill", which became a test animation for the film "Bambi" for lighting, rain, wind, and other natural elements.
Some of the others I like include "Lullaby Land", "Music Land", and "Skeleton Dance".
That's not to say I didn't like the Disney cartoons that featured one of the Fab 5. There are a few of them I liked, mainly ones that were Halloween themed:
"Trick or Treat" – a Donald Duck cartoon, where Donald plays pranks on the nephews, and they receive help from a witch
"The Lonesome Ghosts" – a MIckey/Donald/Goofy cartoon, where the trio are a team of ghost hunters (in the days before "Ghostbusters" and the TV show "Ghost Hunters") trying to catch a group of silly spooks.
"Pluto's Judgement Day" – Pluto is warned by Mickey not to chase cats, because he would receive his judgement day. He scoffs at the idea, insists on still chasing Figaro, but ends up receiving his judgement day.
"Der Fuehrer's Face" – a controversial Donald Duck cartoon. Donald lives in an encampment in Nazi Germany, and is forced to work in an ammunition factory. He soon becomes overworked, and goes crazy. He wakes up, realizing it was all a bad dream. Features a song made popular by Spike Jones. Not recommended for little kids.

Patrick rules!
June 28th, 2013
2:20 pm
We don't have cable (by choice) and my kids have never seen the Disney Channel. I think I may have read some Micky books to them as toddlers, but outside of Mickey Mouse, they would have no idea who any of the other Fab 5 characters are now. I can remember taking them into the Disney store at the mall when they were little and they were like…. Meh. Another upside, my kids are probably the only kids in the world that don't beg to go to Disney. They would rather go to 6 flags. It's closer. lol.
June 28th, 2013

Well, I avoided this all day because I thought it was about a new merchandizing effort for underwear! Whew!

I thought the new short last night was crude. Mickey and Donald worried about being naked and having a dog urinate on Mickey????!!!??? Guess Mickey reflects the new society we have created. I for one am not pleased with the new shorts.
June 29th, 2013
10:43 pm
Big Fan I totally agree I choose the Disney channel for my children over nickelodeon because nickelodeon is so crude and now the crudeness is finding its way to the Disney channel.. I am very disappointed!!! I love the idea of bringing the shorts back but why do we need to revamp such beloved characters and to top it off make it crude!! I think Walt Disney would be very upset with what they have decided to do. He believed in good clean fun comedy. This is one upset parent!

Check out New Energy Rates for Viridian in the , Area

Why is Electricity being Deregulated in the , Area? Is this a good thing?
Electricity is being deregulated to benefit customers. Gas deregulation will soon follow in many states. Deregulation came about to break up the monopoly that the major electric companies once had. Experts compare the deregulation of electricity to the break up of ATT. When ATT broke up, many different telephone service providers were created. Thus that created choice for the consumer and competition. This break up lead to the direct result of consumers having a choice of telephone providers that were now fighting for the consumers business, thus lowering prices significantly. Now that electricity has been deregulated just like in the telephone industry,electric consumers now have the same fantastic opportunity and the power to choose their electric provider. By having the power to choose your own supplier, you will ultimately benefit by finally reducing your bill to a more affordable level. A choice you never had before electric deregulation.
Viridian energy has come along at a great time. With electric deregulation spreading to many states. Customers and associates alike are beginning to learn and are embracing the benefits of 3rd party electric. People are hurting in this economy, it pains us to see people get taken advantage of by utility companies. Customers are certainly not obligated to switch suppliers. But once you do your research and get the facts, you will see and understand why there is no risk in switching suppliers.

Jameis Winston had another fantastic game on Saturday as he led his undefeated Seminoles to yet another win and a spot in the BCS National Championship Game.
Winston went 19-of-32 for 330 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions, and he rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown in the 45-7 win over Duke. Winston has been able to stay focused and play well even while being investigated for an alleged sexual assault. After the game, ABC/ESPN reporter Heather Cox asked him how he's been handling the investigation. Winston answered three consecutive questions related to the investigation but, after the fourth, he walked away.
I don't have a problem with what either of them did. Winston answered the questions, and Cox asked the pertinent ones. I don't care about the setting; those questions were a huge part of what's going on with Winston and were absolutely relevant. The only thing was Cox maybe didn't need to go for a fourth question after realizing Winston wasn't giving her the answer she sought.

Whoa... sounds like something went off the rails in a big and public way. Kudos to Hickman and Epting for getting through this one! Guess we won't be seeing any work from Marko in comics for awhile.
Although the public airing of grievances is bad form, I am interested in his comments for how they reflect his perception of being a creative professional in the comic industry vs. other media.
I can't speak to the particulars of Marko's case, but, I know way too many talented people that are working in comics and animation for the love of the game and it is always disconcerting to hear about creators who feel like they are sacrificing their time, bodies, and talent without due compensation.
Also, always soul-sucking to get caught in a revision black hole when you feel like those making the decisions don't know what they want.
1.5 million covers is a lot.
That's a damn shame. Wasn't very professional about it. And the part about him not liking any of the writers they paired him up with was not very classy.

Gold Country Cyclery is Closed!
Gold Country Cyclery was founded on a dream to sell primarily tandem bicycles. However, it was clear from the start in the Fall of 1999 that selling recumbent bicycles would find a new and growing enthusiast market as well as providing bicycles that filled the needs of individuals that no longer could ride conventional diamond frame bikes. Also, many customers wanted a TRUE "Comfort Bike". Tandem and recumbent bicycles both sold very well over the years. My wife and I made many new friends with our customer clientel.
Having reached the age of retirement, it was clear that it was time for me to move on and spend my time doing many more things that running a bike shop kept me away from. We made the decision to sell our home in California and purchased one North of Reno, Nevada. Moving the business to Reno was a consideration, but after a lot of thought retirement from the business was most desirable.
I wish all of my customers over the years best wishes in the future and a big thank you for giving me your trust and business. I have met many wonderful people and will truly miss the customer contact I have enjoyed.
Remaining Inventory
The remaining inventory or shop assests are in process of being sold or consigned to other recumbent dealers.
Any bikes left in the shop that are there on consignment, the owners will be notified either by phone or email to arrange a pick-up time and date.
Anyone interested in discussing purchase or assets of the shop, please write to:
Gold Country Cyclery, 9732 State Route 445, STE 366, Sparks, NV 89441. I hestiate to provide my personal cell and new home number on this page.
Our shop is located at 3830 Dividend Dr. Suite B, Shingle Springs, CA 95682

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 41 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by DMoney Very comfortable Nice material. Soft. A little expensive but a very nice product. August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Santino My son's favorite golf pants I bought two pair for my son who is on his college's golf team. He loved them- best pants he has ever had for golf. A little expensive, but worth the money for the comfort and fit. He washes them and throws them in the dryer- so no worry about special washing instructions! August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by akc favorite pants These are my first under armour pants and I love them. Better fit than nike. I like how they are not too baggy and are able to be worn at work. Alot of people said to order a size larger. I did that but when I got them they were too big. So I got the size I usually wear and they are perfect. About to order some more colors. I advise you go to a store to try on first. July 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Eric b Under armour pants Husband lives. Wears to work weekly and golf course! June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mayor Under Armour Always Best Fit No line fits as well as UA. These pants are no exception. I wear golf pants pretty much everyday. These have a better fit and quality than anyone. June 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by rrapsidyy DECENT IS WHAT I WOULD SAY I feel the pants are made of decent quality and craftsmanship, they are comfortable like stated however they run long so if your a 30 lenght and you purchase these pants in 30 lenght you will more than likely have to take them to the taylor shop to be taken up 1 inch or inch and a half. I feel they breath well and wear well. If you are looking for a good golf slack that you can double up and wear to work lets say then its a decent choice. I am discouraged in the cost of the pant itself. I feel as though $79.95 is a lot of money for what you are getting. Lets say if these slacks were $40 dollars then I would have rated a five star but for cost of them I can only rate a four star. I am not saying its dicks sporting goods that is charging to much I believe under armour is charging in excess for there garmets. Unfortunately they are keeping there prices right in line with nike and adidas and oakley golf apparel.. it would be nice to see one of the company's say hey we are going to put out extremely good quality golf clothing but at a really fair price better than there competitors and I feel whatever company tried this would be completely satisfied with the results. i'm just saying.... I think someone considering these under armor golf slacks should think about the nike golf slacks that you can purchase buy one pair get second pair 50% off , now that to me sounds like a pretty fair deal... June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Krev18 Fantastic More expensive than nike, puma, adidas etc. But worth it! May 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Berto627 Great value These pants are very lightweight and breathable. Perfect for a day of golf! May 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Yes sir Great pant These pants are very comfortable, light weight and fit well also. May 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Joe Great comfort I love these pants, they were a little pricey but worth it. They are durable and breathable. So far this golf season is starting off cold and doesn't seem to be letting up. These pants have kept me warm on some pretty windy,cold,wet days out on the course. I just wish they weren't so expensive so I can by more. May 14, 2014

It's nonsense to say that Boston can't afford the $83 million pay hike a panel of arbitrators just awarded to the Boston Police Patrolmen's Union. With an annual budget of $2.6 billion, of course it can. Here's how: Increase class sizes. Reduce the number of cops on the street. Stop twice-weekly trash pickups. Cut the parks department.
It's choices like these that make this issue — a consequence of a bombshell decision that just came out last week — perhaps the issue of the city's mayoral campaign. And it's one that will hurt candidate Marty Walsh, feeding into worries that he is too beholden to city unions to be an effective mayor.

Soothing Touch began around 1977, in a small garage in Los Angeles, California. The late Yogi Bhajan (Founder), was a Kundalini Yoga teacher and master from India who had moved to the West to teach yoga, meditation, and healthy eating habits. His students were from all walks of life, and they were learning how to live the life of a householder and maintain their yogic lifestyle in an ashram / group environment. In their quest to find a way to support themselves, Yogi Ji provided them a collection of ancient Ayurvedic formulas for oil blends that had been used for centuries in India. He seemed to know the value of a good oil blend for the body and the coming need and popularity of the massage and holistic markets.
Thus began the business of Soothing Touch, very simply, with hopes that enough money could be generated to live on. Little did they know that the business would not only provide a small but steady income for a group of young, eager, starry-eyed yoga students but also one day provide over 85 natural, high quality massage and spa products for therapists and customers around the world.

Great Stay!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: loved the location of the cabin, right in front of beautiful stock pond, spacious inside of cabin.
Amazing experience
TITLE: INCREDIBLE VIEWS, AMAZING CABIN! Best vacation we've taken We absolutely loved this cabin! We have been visiting the Pigeon Forge area and Gatlinburg for many years and have always stayed in different cabins. This time around, my husband and I took a weekend retreat and did not want to leave. We decided that Gateway to Heaven would be the only cabin for us every time we came back to visit. It is beautifully decorated and equipped with just about anything and everything we could have possible wanted during our stay. Loved the amazing game room with the pool, air hockey table, foosball table and games. It was a special time for us to reconnect and do enjoy life! The owners thought of every detail with the obvious goal to make this cabin truly special to anyone who visits. We could not believe how breathtaking views were! The cabin has three levels, and you could totally enjoy the awesome views from each one. It is quiet, romantic and very importantly, VERY CLEAN! My entire booking experience was pleasant and easy. The location is great because it was only minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We traveled through the forest to get to Gatlinburg, absolutely beautiful! Love the small town feel and convenience to the excitement at our fingertips. Thank you for a great experience. We will definitely be back!
Thank you, Jean for allowing me and my new husband the privilege of staying in your beautiful cabin. In all the cabins I've stayed in yours was by far the nicest and cleanest! It was VERY clean and COZY! I have already started sharing our experience with others.

EA SPORTS Active - WII - Review
Last year Nintendo released the Wii Fit, which helped motivate people to exercise more. The developers did this by combining the fun of video-games with the "joy" of working out. This game proved to be hit and it flew off store shelves. It took many people months to finally obtain the game. Ever since Wii Fit has been released, there has been a flood of exercise games made for the Nintendo Wii. The latest exercise game is entitled EA Sports Active, and it does more to keep players active and might help players lose weight better than Wii Fit.
The focus of EA Sports Active is to give high-intensity workouts to get players to reach a specific set of goals, such as calorie loss. The game features more than 25 exercises and drills and they fall into these categories: cardio, upper body, lower body, and sports. There are many preset workouts that will target specific areas, and players can customize it even more by changing the duration and intensity of each workout. The exercises can range from running on a track, doing squats, boxing, tennis, inline skating, dancing, and much more. The whole goal of this game is to help players lose weight, burn calories, and generally get in better shape.
When players select an exercise to do the game brings up a very nicely done instructional video on the proper technique of that particular exercise. Each exercise has its own video, which can be skipped, so players can get the best workout from each exercise. After a while the videos can annoying, but it is nice to see that the developers really wanted to make sure players knew the proper form for each exercise to get the most benefit from it.
Playing with the family
The game comes with two accessories that make this game stand out: a leg strap that will keep the nunchuck around your leg and a weight resistance band. Some players might have some issues with the resistance band as it is doesn't provide as much resistance as gamers might like, but overall it gets the job done. For taller players the cord between the Wii-mote and nunchuk might prove to be an obstacle when the nunchuk is in the holder, as it is not very long and will make some exercises difficult. Even with these two small complaints, the accessories work really well. If players have the Balance Board they will be able to use this in many of the exercises as well. Having these three accessories really makes the game feel very interactive and makes it a lot of fun to play.
Once players turn this game on for the first time they will be tasked with creating their own onscreen avatar. After this is complete they will go into the main menu that has a journal that keeps up with various stats as players work out. Another option is the preset work-outs that were mentioned earlier. Player's can choose between many different preset work-out routines or make up one.
The last choice is to join the 30 Day Challenge; which is the main draw of this game. Once players select this choice, they will be given an option to choose between a male or female trainer that will provide 20-minute workouts over the course of the month. As the days go by the workouts get more intense and players will really start to "feel the burn." What makes this mode really great is that each day the trainers really change up the exercises so each day will feel different from the previous. This really helps break up repetition and makes players want to continue playing to see what the next day's exercises will be. During the course of the 30 days, players will be able to track how they are doing in their journal, and add additional facts such as their food intake and other daily routines players might partake in, which helps players' overall score. This is a great mode that will keep players coming back to try it over again.
Feel the burn
The graphics for EA Sports Active are very simple. The visuals are very cartoonish feeling, especially the demo's showing players how to do the various exercises. The on-screen avatar that players create also looks cartoonish and there are very few options to choose from when building it. Even though it does look more realistic than players Mii, it would have been nice to have a few more options to try to make the character look closer to the players. The various locations that players will exercise at are very sunny and have a very nice and tranquil atmosphere.
The voice-over work for the game is very good. The voice actors spoke loudly and very clearly so not to miss any instructions. This made the game enjoyable as players could always accurately follow the various instructions given since it is easily understood what needs to be done. The only issue with the sound department is the soundtrack the developers choose for the game. Instead of loading it up with current tunes to work out with, the game is chalked full of very generic music that borders on the edge of bland. This is very disappointing because when working out, nothing gets the blood pumping faster than hearing the latest music.
This game also offers players the opportunity to work out with a friend. The only issue here is that they will have to have their own workout equipment: resistance band and nunchuk holder, in order to really get the full effect of working out together.
EA Sports Active is rated for everyone.
Review Scoring Details for EA Sports Active
Gameplay 8.4
The work-outs will really have players sweating in no time. The only issue is the controls are not as tight as they should have been.
Graphics: 7.9
The graphics for this game are a bit cartoonish. This is fine, but it is weird to see various videos with real humans and then see the on-screen cartoonish-looking avatar. The various locations where players workout is always sunny and bright which creates a very nice workout environment.
Sound: 7.8
The voice-over work is done really nice. The music is very generic, players will want to mute them and turn on their own tunes while they workout.
Difficulty: Easy
Concept: 7.9
EA Sports Active has several exercises that will really have players work up a sweat. The resistant bands are a little weak, but still get the job done.
Multiplayer N/A
At the time of this review I did not get a chance to test out the multiplayer.
Overall: 8.0
EA Sports Active is a really great first effort game. The developers at EA Sports laid a really nice foundation for the next game that will inevitable come in the series. Hopefully they will tighten up the controls as this will make for a better game. If you are looking for a fun game that will help you work up a sweat and lose some calories check this game out.

If only we knew what was wrong with her... A girl comes to live with the Cullens, and they only know one thing about her ... she's completely different and she's related to two members of the Volturi, one is trying to find help and one wants her dead...
Prologue -
I sat on our deck watching our family around us laugh and play around. Renesmee was sitting under the tree with Jacob holding her like Edward was currently doing to me. He was sitting on the swing while i leaned against him.
Alice and Jasper sat up in a tree talking softly to each other, while Rosalie and Emmett were out on top of the roof talking about something that know one else could guess and Carlisle and Esme are on vacation on there Island.
Everything was perfect... nothing could disrupt this moment. We all heard a rustle from the woods but we were expecting the wolves so nobody moved to investigate. Seth, Leah, Quin, and Embry walked out of the woods moving towards Jake and Nessie.
"Hey Edward! Hey Bella!" Seth said with a wave as he passed us. Embry gave us a nod and a slight smile.
"Hey Seth, how's your mom been doing?" I asked.
"She's good." Leah replied. Leah had become more settled around us...and surprisingly Rosalie and her got along the best. They got talking one night and the next day they were laughing.
They then moved on and went to sit with Nessie and Jake. Renesmee has grown up so much since the last time we saw the Volturi. She has grown a body of an 18 year old but shes only two years old, I couldnt believe how much she's grown up, my little girl. I sighed.
"What is it?" Edward asked as he drew circles in my arm with his finger.
"That's our little girl." I said pointing over towards Nessie. "And that's my best friend." I said pointing at Jake.
Edward chuckled softly as we watched them. Another rustle started in the area next the house, closer to Edward and I. I looked at him and he looked back at me strangly.
"We weren't expecting anyone else were we?" I asked and he shook his head no. I moved quickly, moving towards whatever it was. When i sent out my shield nothing seemed to move in it. "Edward?" I asked confused. He looked like he couldnt hear anything and then a girl burst through the woods, a couple seconds later Alec followed.
Alice came forward and grabbed the girl pulling her away from Alec. "What are you doing here?" Jake demanded moving towards him with his pack.
"I need your help." He said to Edward in a pleading voice.
"I can't hear your thoughts." Edward said to him. Alec looked around and his eyes settled on the girl. "Her?" He asked and Alec nodded.
"What are you doing to her?" I demanded.
Alec looked at me like he was lost and then his eyes went wide. "I'm not trying to hurt her...She's part of my family, she's my cousin." Alec said.
The girl screamed in pain. Alice gasped and let go of her. The girl had started to whither and squirm as her skin twisted and turned.Alec practically turned green as he watched. "Stay away from her..." He said more as a warning then a threat.Everyone backed away and watched as she twisted and screamed clutching the ground.
