For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. Christ died for us so that, whether we are dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him forever.

This amazing woman of God, Vernie, is battling cervical cancer. She is currently going through chemo treatments and continuing to praise God through this all! She's such an inspiration and light to all around her. Please…
I don't find any reason to be ashamed of being a Christian. I can't find any valid reason to be ashamed of the One who died on the cross just to save someone like me. No dude, I'm not being religious. I'm just being bold enough to declare my faith and tell the world of the One who gave His all for me.

Health care costs keep climbing. In the last 30 years, the US consumer price index rose about 4 percent per year. During this time, the cost of physician services increased at an annual rate of 5 percent and the cost of hospital services a whopping 8 percent per annum. Americans now spend two and a half times more per capita on health care than the average of other wealthy nations. Projecting these rates into the future, economists predict that 62 percent of our gross domestic product will be devoted to health care in 2105 (up from 7 percent in 1970 and about 18 percent in 2011).
Virtually without exception, Democrats and Republicans agree that this spiral is unsustainable. According to William Baumol, however, the conventional wisdom is wrong. A professor of economics and the academic director of the Berkley Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at New York University, Baumol argues in "The Cost Disease'' that it is inevitable that cost increases in labor-intensive industries will outpace inflation but that they will be offset by productivity gains in manufacturing and agriculture, which ensure "a cornucopia of desirable services and abundant products" in the future. The principal threat to health care, Baumol claims, is the illusion that we cannot afford it without making devastating cuts in other vitally important areas.

Detroit's Greg Monroe is shrugging off trade rumors as the Piston's fourth year center works out this week at the USA Basketball camp in Las Vegas. Detroit has been linked to talk of the club possibly being interested in the Celtic's Rajon Rondo. Piston's team president Joe Dumars recently told the Detroit News that no one on the roster is untouchable other than Andre Drummond, adding that doesn't mean Monroe is being shopped around. During his 3 seasons in Detroit, Monroe has averaged 13-and-a-half points and nearly 9 rebounds a game.

Reggie Johnson loves spending time in his yard. But since the turbines landed near his backyard, he says it's been difficult to enjoy the outdoors.
"We cherish the moments we have outside. It's like a kid in a candy shop when you get the opportunity to come out when there's no noise. It's a blessed relief," he said.
Johnson has spent his whole life in Vermont and says the natural beauty keeps him here for life. But in his retirement years, he has spent more time in Florida than anticipated.
"Why should we change our whole life pattern for something that should have been done differently? How much is enough," Johnson said.
The Georgia Mountain Wind Project has stirred up controversy for years. But for Johnson and his partner, Shirley, it has become an everyday inconvenience worth complaining about.
"Over a long period of time how beneficial are these things? It's a big question. But I'm certainly not for them, especially how they're being placed how they are now," Johnson said.
The Johnsons say they can't sleep at night and have to resort to the recliner in the living room.
"We just get up automatically without even thinking about it, close the doors and turn the fan on. Our whole life pattern has changed, totally," Johnson said.
The Milton Independent recently wrote an article saying that Georgia Mountain Community Wind co-owner David Blittersdorf described the people who complain about wind turbine noise as just short of crazy. Blittersdorf says his words were misconstrued.
"It was out of context; I was talking about generally across the state, across the U.S., the opponents to wind are not always grounded in reality. When we talk about facts on sound levels and things that are said that are not true," Blittersdorf said.
Blittersdorf says he made a visit to Johnson earlier this week to hear the concerns. He says although people like Johnson may not support this project, he stands by the project.
"What do we do? And if the answer is to say no to everything, I'm sorry but my poor kids, we all will have a huge problem," Blittersdorf said.
But Johnson says although the turbines are in compliance with the state, his experience living with them so close is unbearable. He wishes more people could understand.
"Even though there's significant data you can get, you have to really experience it," he said.
And Johnson says if things don't change, he will continue to complain if necessary. But in the meantime, he plans to stay positive and chip away at his garden.

Drowning Continues To Be Number One Cause Of Death For Children In U.S. [1]
California continues to have the nation's largest number of summer drowning tragedies.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts [4] delivered right to your inbox.
Nationally, drowning is the leading cause of death of children under the age of five years old.
The national Pool Safety campaign, organized by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that pool and spa deaths of children between the age of one through 14 reached 202 from Memorial Day to Labor Day, which is 98 days. 143 or 71 percent of the victims were younger than five years old.
The CPSC report does not include non-fatal drowning incidents or fatalities occurring in other bodies of water.
2013 reports the highest pool/spa drowning rates for the summer in Texas (28), Florida (24), and California (23), an increase from last year - Texas (17), California (10), and Ohio (9). Last year there were 137 pool/spa drowning deaths, 100 of these children were under the age of five.
"It is tragic. Water safety education helps families understand that drowning is preventable," explains Nikki Miller, co-founder of the Aquatic Safety Awareness Program in Valencia. "Safer water with approved pool fencing and alarms, safer kids -learning to swim, and safer response - learning CPR, will help save precious young lives all year long," continues Miller, owner of Academy Swim Club.
The CPSC recommends fences for all pools, stay close to children in the water, be alert, and teach children how to swim. Many pediatricians and physicians also recommend swimming lessons for families with small children.
"Both my girls had swim lessons before one year (of age)," shares Dr. Morris Yen, of Santa Clarita Pediatrics. "If anything, it just prepared them in case of falling into swimming pool or being swept up by a wave."
Some states have initiated pediatrician recommendations during baby well-checks as a drowning prevention measure to emphasize the importance of basic swim skills.
"It should be discussed at the visits," explains Dr. Kathleen Brockett of Valencia Pediatrics. "If a child does not have swimming lessons but everyone around him/her can swim, that child is still not safe. It is really important to teach your child how to roll over and float until help reaches that child."
Many children and adults with autism are at greater risk.
"We are not sure why so many people with autism are attracted to water," shares Emily Iland, president of the Autism Society of Los Angeles and co-founder of the Santa Clarita Autism Asperger Network.
"Inside the house, people with autism can drown in the bathtub, the toilet, or even the washing machine because of the attraction to water. Outside the house, they can be attracted to pools and other bodies of water," she continues.
"If we know that their attraction is to water throughout their lifespan, then the most important thing would be to have swimming lessons so if they do go into water, they can help themselves. Infants can learn to swim but maybe it is something we overlook even for adults. Especially if their fascination is with water, swimming lessons could be more important than for anyone else," describes Iland.
Santa Clarita residents have many resources available - from free CPR classes to year 'round swimming lessons, special needs swimming lessons, and bilingual water safety material. According to doctors and experts from several Santa Clarita medical centers, swim survival techniques are a priority.
"It's something that is a necessity of life. If we can save one life by teaching techniques, that right there is the reward," says Dr. Eric Fernandez, physician at Facey Medical Group.

[update: found an English translation for this article!]
Actor Jeong Il-woo said "Playing the Scheduler was an adventure for me!"
Jeong Il-woo from the SBS drama "49 Days", which ended on the 19th, gave his thoughts about being in the show.
After having finished all of the Scheduler's parts, he said, "I can't believe it's already over. I was a Scheduler that managed a 49-day traveler but I think it was a 49-day adventure for me. They went by quickly but now that I've completed my journey, I am so happy and thrilled".
He continued, "Doing this drama, I felt the preciousness of life and started thinking seriously about life and death. I am grateful to the director, writer and all the other staff that allowed me to learn something like this".
The Scheduler which Jeong Il-woo played in the drama "49 Days", is a new idea that played an important role in the layout of the drama. He said, "The new and awkward character of a Scheduler was a challenge and adventure for me. I enjoyed being the Scheduler".
He also spoke about his expectations for his next project. "As much as I loved "49 Days", I am sad it's over. But I will hold it and the Scheduler in a corner of my heart and hopefully I will soon come back with another project".
Jeong Il-woo created several hot topics as he played the Scheduler with his unique character, hair fashion and acting, earning him comments that he's become much more grown up and mature.

Also remember that it isn't only Northrend where the profits are made. As people change professions or level lower level toons, they will want to power level and buying is faster than grinding.
This is where I find that lower level toons who are gatherers will help contribute to the funds simply by picking up the leather and ore where they are leveling because there is a fairly good demand for leather and ore. In some ways I think they are more lucrative than the Northrend ores and leathers... because most of the toons are in the 68-80 bracket and those who aren't are racing to get there.
Never underestimate the value of the meats you can pick up. When I was grinding wintersaber rep, I found the bear flank went for an unusually high amount because of the cooking power leveling. This may have changed since the Thanksgiving holiday (whatever they called it) made powerleveling cooking so easy.
Also remember the possibility of recouping *some* of your expenses. While you may need what you smelt if you have a crafting profession, if you are a scavenger (mining+Skinning) and you need to power level mining through smelting, you can get some money back through selling what you smelted, especially if some raiders are your typical JC+BS. Usually ore sells better than bars on my server since people want to level their JC through getting prospectable ore or want to smelt their own ore to level mining, but professions like Engineering or BS requires a lot of bars
I find that Auction Lite works well as an auction tool as it can scan similar auctions for an item you want to sell and give a competitive price which undercuts the other prices. It isn't perfect though. Some lower level greens can have a 3x vendor price if there are no similar items on the AH... but someone may be willing to pay more to outfit an alt. I like it because I simply alt right click an item and it scans the AH to see whether it is worth selling.
Perhaps I am stating the obvious here but these are some basic tips which work for me.

'Brit' comes from British. Butler is Scottish, part of Great Britain, and therefore qualified. Colin Farrell comes from the Republic of Ireland and does not therefore qualify as a Brit by any standard or reckoning. The confusion is entirely yours.
Hardly. Take a moment to read my precise words again. I didn't call Colin Farrell a "Brit" or British (and I wouldn't call any Irishman a "Brit" to his face, for fear of getting my ass kicked). I said that Farrell is weak when it comes to speaking with an American accent. Any additional implications are all in your mind.

Pronounced Chih-wah-waah, the Chihuahua is the world's smallest dog. This breed was
named after the state of Chihuahua, in Mexico, but the origin of the breed is disputed. Did
they come to Mexico from Egypt via the Mediterranean, or from China, another theory, or
was it developed exclusively in Central and South America from the Techichi, a native
canine? After the Spanish Conquest in 1519 the breed was totally ignored and almost
became extinct. American tourists in 1850 returned with specimens, but attracted little
notice, until decades later a popular entertainer, Xavier Cugat, "the Rhumba king"
appeared everywhere with his tiny teacup Chihuahua. Today, this tiny canine is one of the
most popular in North America. Note, serious fanciers of the breed never refer to tiny specimens as teacup Chihuahuas. Puppymill breeders however, use that popular term to obtain higher unwarranted prices.
The breed is graceful, alert, swift-moving with a saucy expression, possessing a terrier-like attitude. Usually reserved with strangers, some Chihuahuas are protective while others are shy. The breed is usually devoted and bonded to one person. It is compact with a well rounded "apple dome" skull. The eyes are full, set well apart, luminous, dark or ruby. The ears are large, held erect, and flare to the sides. The body is well balanced, slightly longer than high.
There are two varieties, the short coat and the long coat. The long hair Chihuahua was perhaps developed entirely in the US by crossing the smooth coat variety to the Pomeranian, the Papillon and maybe others.

A Chihuahua is an hypoallergenic breed. This is why it is recommended by allergists. You can enjoy having a Chi regardless of an asthma condition. Please check out our client corner where you will see Nathan, a double lung transplant patient, who was given permission by his surgeons to accept one of our Chi's as a special Christmas gift from Marion. Nathan continues to do well, is off the ventillator and back home in VA.
The AKC standard for a Chihuahua is listed as being anywhere from 2 lbs. to 6 lbs. when fully grown, however we feel that 2 lbs. is on the small side. A Chihuahua weighing 7lbs. or 10 lbs. as an adult is still perfectly normal and healthier looking than a tiny little 2 lbs. Chihuahua. A fully grown Chihuahua weighing 2 lbs. should NEVER be used for breeding purposes as the Mother is at a high risk of dying during delivery and subsequent 'C' section. Her puppies are also at a higher risk of being born dead. Please be a responsible owner and prevent a serious double tragedy and have your tiny Chihuahua spayed or neutered.

Is your portfolio a tax time-bomb?
Last year's incredible returns could be this year's tax problem. Here are some strategies to minimize the tax impact of those big gains.
2013 was a great year for equity investors, but as you count your gains, remember that last year's prosperity can be this year's tax problem. All those gains may have turned your portfolio into a ticking tax time-bomb.
The S&P 500 ($INX) rose more than 30 percent in 2013. Any U.S. stock portfolio should be looking much fatter as a result, but keep in mind that if your portfolio is taxable, you will have to give some of that increase back in the form of realized gains taxes. What's more to the point, the real tax liability may be waiting to hit you in the 2014 tax year.
The dangers of unrealized gains
While you may have racked up around 30 percent worth of paper gains in 2013, unless your portfolio is managed in a high-turnover approach, chances are that much of that increase is in the form of unrealized gains – meaning you haven't cashed in those shares yet.
If you have not done so already, you should tally up your realized gains from last year, just so you will have a feel for what kind of tax bill you will be looking at this April.
More importantly for planning purposes, you should also look at the magnitude of unrealized gains in your portfolio. Since investment gains are only taxed when you sell a security, the large unrealized gains that can build up when a portfolio has a strong year can become a problem in future years.
For example, your portfolio might only break even in 2014, but if you sell any stocks that were up big in 2013, you may face a tax liability for this year that exceeds your investment return.
How can you defuse this ticking time-bomb? The truth is, you cannot expect gains without paying some taxes, but there are ways you can manage the impact of a large build-up in unrealized gains. Here are five suggestions:
- Don't count your chickens. When revaluing your portfolio for planning purposes, you may want to discount the market value by the amount of any large, unrealized tax liability.
- Build up a tax reserve against unrealized gains. This is to make sure your cash flow can handle the future tax liability.
- Avoid timing traps. Make sure you don't sell just as a stock is about to go long-term or a calendar year is about to end.
- Audit your portfolio for weak links. You shouldn't sell stocks just because they are down, but if a stock is down and its business prospects have diminished, getting the tax benefit of realizing the loss can take some of the sting out of a failed investment.
- Consider substitutions as another way of realizing losses to offset gains. Wash-sale rules prevent you from re-purchasing a stock on which you are claiming a loss for 30 days, but if you own a group of stocks purely to capture that sector, you may be able to find a group of suitable substitutes or a sector-based ETF you can buy immediately so you can realize losses on the original group.
Always remember, taxes on gains are a sign of a healthy portfolio. In other words, it's a good problem to have.
More from MoneyRates.com
Correct me if I am wrong on any of this. This is just what I figured out on my own.
While your money is in IRA and/or a 401k it can accumulate tax free, but you have to pay taxes on every penny you draw out. Your broker can withhold estimated state and federal taxes when you make withdrawals.
401k/IRA money withdrawn is taxed on your income tax after being added to your Social Security or other pensions and dividends, pushing it into a higher bracket.
To stay out of a higher bracket, figure out how much you can withdraw and stay in the 20% bracket after adding it onto your other income..
We need to know more about how inherited 401k/IRAs work for our heirs. Most heirs need the money now, not for retirement. It would pay to get a good tax man's advice. Most inheritances are tax free, but are 401k and IRA inheritances tax free? Someone told me that the one who inherits doesn't have to pay taxes, but they will tax the IRA or 401k of the deceased person who has left the retirement money.
There are potholes, like when you turn 70 some you have to start cashing out. (I am not sure of the exact age). Being forced to sell can catch you in a down market. If you don't start cashing out at the right time and withdraw the right amount, you can lose it to the government in higher taxes and fees for late withdrawal.
You or your heirs will pay a lot higher tax rate, if you take it all out at once. Even if each heir takes a low amount, added together it can cause higher taxes.

(WHAS11)- Harrison Co. Sheriff Mike Deatrick is ranked the 33 in the list called Worst Boss in America.
The organization eBossWatch asked employees to anonymous rank the sheriff this year.
The rating follows Deatrick's grand jury's indictment in April.

He is also accused of sexually harassing two female dispatchers.
He settled a civil lawsuit with them last year.
His term ends next month.

CHICAGO, IL (WHBL) - Governor Scott Walker stood silently this morning as 50 protestors interrupted his speech at a breakfast in Chicago. And after they left, the Chicago Tribune quoted Walker as saying, "No matter how loud you shout, the facts are the facts -- Our reforms have worked in Wisconsin." The Republican Walker was a few minutes into his speech to the Union League Club when members of the Occupy Chicago group started chants like "Union busting, it's disgusting." The protestors they left after about 10 minutes. They railed against Walker's law which virtually ended collective bargaining for most public employee unions in Wisconsin. About 300 people attended the breakfast, and they were greeted by 30 demonstrators outside the building's two entrances. The Tribune story noted that public employee unions are leading an effort to recall Walker. State Democrats and an advocacy group are doing most of the publicity within Wisconsin.

38. KBGEN0006 - During installation, TSM does not prompt for a nodename or password; when run, it tries to use an incorrect nodename.
|This article will guide you through what to do when TSM apparently installs gets installed without a nodename being entered.
|During installation, TSM does not ask for a nodename or password; when run, TSM may report that your account is locked, or that you have entered the wrong nodename or password.
|When the TSM installer package is run, the program will normally ask you to enter both the TSM nodename
that you have registered and the password that goes with it. However, if TSM has ever previously been installed on your machine, then the TSM installer will
assume that you are upgrading an earlier version of TSM (even if the older version has long since been uninstalled). It will pick up on the
TSM nodename used previously, and will therefore not ask you to enter one. After this installation has completed, when you run TSM, one of the following will happen:
In order to force TSM to prompt you for your new nodename, you need to remove the file(s) where the old
information is stored. For Windows, this is
dsm.opt ;
for Mac and Linux, it means both
dsm.sys and
dsm.opt. Locate this/these file(s) on your machine using our
TSM configuration file list. Then rename them, e.g.
dsm-old.opt, to keep them safe. Now run the TSM installer again: it will prompt
you for a nodename and password.

Coastal ecosystems are a vital livelihood resource for millions of fishers, a protective barrier against storms, tidal surges and tsunamis and a source of recreation for millions. This makes coastal real estate the most prized for tourism, industries, aquaculture, nuclear and thermal power plants or ports – all of which leave behind a devastated coastal environment. Industry and sections of government are colluding to grab huge swathes of land in coastal India at the cost of local communities, the environment and biodiversity.
An example of coastal land grab is the rampant port proliferation that is changing the Indian coastline. Over 300 ports are proposed for the coast of mainland India – that's an average of one every 25 km! Many of these are in or near mangroves, mud flats, nesting and breeding grounds for important marine creatures. But do we really need so many ports? Or is this a massive private land grab by gullible or corrupt government planners?
The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) notification 1991 was originally meant to protect our coasts. It divided the coast into zones of varying ecological sensitivity and prohibited industrial activities in the most sensitive ones. However, over the last 20 years, the notification has been progressively diluted and weakened to suit industrial and 'development' interests. Greenpeace is demanding that the CRZ notification be strengthened and implemented so that industries and infrastructure projects can be kept away from the most eco-sensitive areas.
For several years, Greenpeace has been fighting the Tata Steel-L&T Dhamra port in Orissa, as an example of the threat that port development poses to the Indian coast. The port is now built, despite the threat it poses to the Bhitarkanika and Gahirmatha protected areas and species such as the Olive Ridley turtle, Horseshoe crab and Saltwater crocodile. However, it is essential that the mistakes of Dhamra are not repeated – we cannot afford more such ecological disasters.
By focusing on the wrongs of the Dhamra port, Greenpeace has highlighted the threat that ports in general pose to the Indian coast and lobbied for national level measures to ensure that rampant port development is checked.
Greenpeace is therefore demanding that the Ministry of Environment and Forests place protection of the coastal environment and dependent livelihoods above industrial concerns and prohibit the construction of new ports or expansion of existing ones within 25 km. of eco-sensitive areas.

We decided to use this photo as an focal point for our formal living room. I fell in love with the print through the photgrapher's website, but we were excited to find this as a cheaper option. Since we had it framed and matted, we didn't think that the difference in photo paper would be noticeable and we were right.

An $8.5 million request in public funding to help pay for Deer Creek Center's redevelopment was rejected by a 12-member commission Wednesday night.
The commission was created to advise Maplewood City Council on whether it should provide public funding to , a private company that also owns the property.
Representatives from the City of Maplewood, the Maplewood Richmond Heights Board of Education and St. Louis County .
The commission voted 7-5 against the use of public dollars. The only commission members to support the funding were appointed by the city council and MRH school board.
At issue is of public funding—this time in the form of —which Summit representatives have repeatedly said is necessary.
TIFs are granted by local governments to help developers pay for a project by using future taxes. Certain taxes that normally would flow to cities, school districts and other taxing entities, including St. Louis County, would instead be used to pay off loans for a development project. After a specified period of time, that tax revenue is returned to the taxing entities. TIFs typically are used for projects that otherwise wouldn't be done without the special tax breaks.
City Manager Marty Corcoran said there have been many attempts in the past 10 years to redevelop the Deer Creek area—with and without tax breaks. It was recently designated as a blighted area by city council.
"In the city's eyes, it cannot be done without a TIF," Corcoran said.
Pam Reitz, director of administration for St. Louis County, said tax-increment financing would not alleviate the problems that caused Deer Creek Center to become blighted in the first place.
"The layout of the center is inaccessible, and the redevelopment would not correct that," Reitz said, adding that using a TIF would take tax dollars and sales away from other areas in the county.
After the meeting, Mayor James White shared his disappointment.
"This is the way the county votes," said White in reference to the six commission members. "If it isn't good for them, it isn't good for anyone else, and that's unfortunate."
What's next?
City council can still approve the project with the support of five of seven members—an outcome White expects. The next city council meeting is scheduled for Feb. 14, with a final vote expected during a meeting on Feb. 28.
Scott Reese, principal and president of Summit Development, also remains optimistic.
"Obviously we're disappointed in the outcome and the county's take on the project, but, as you can tell, we have the support of Maplewood and we plan to keep moving forward with the project," Reese said.

Nike Air Max 90 – Medium Grey – White – Volt
July 25th, 2011 by Aaron Hope | No comments
They're probably not quite at the level of the bred palette spawned by the Air Jordan Legacy but nobody would argue that the Air Max 95′s OG Neon colorway isn't among the most oft-copied in the history of sneakers. The Ninety-Five's distinctive white-grey-black gradient accented by a bright shade has spawned countless copycats, but here's a look at another Nike Sportswear model that'll make you do a double-take thanks to its subtle script shifting. This new Nike Air Max 90 appears to be an AM95 tribute at first glance, but the visually keen will sense something's amiss upon noticing that the outsole and toebox are different colors, the latter actually utilizing a navy blue shade instead of the traditional black. Makes for an interesting twist on a beloved classic and you can pick them up right now from an NSW dealer like End or on eBay.

[my image description: a painting named after the ships upon which African people were enslaved. it is painted with beautiful colorful small dots. laying and crouching Black people are cramped below the ship, some of them are gray colored, the are close to each other, resilient. one is jumping/falling/diving into the ocean below as a cream colored figure with long locs paddles in a decorate boat over to them. there are white people waving a spanish flag and sailing on the ships' deck. there are jellyfish and fish swirling around the sails. the deep blue ocean below has long elegant snakes swirling around. the painting is full of live, African aesthetics and dignity.]

Renowned feminist and human rights activist Nawal El Saadawi was a political prisoner and exiled from Egypt for years. Now she has returned to Cairo, and she joins us to discuss the role of women during the last seven days of unprecedented protests. "Women and girls are beside boys in the streets," El Saadawi says. "We are calling for justice, freedom and equality, and real democracy and a new constitution, no discrimination between men and women, no discrimination between Muslims and Christians, to change the system… and to have a real democracy."

The story of Black people's hair begins where everything began– in Africa. Not surprisingly, the birthplace of both astronomy and alchemy also gave rise to a people in perfect harmony with their environment… The variety of hair textures from western Africa alone ranges from the deep ebony, kinky curls of the Mandingos to the loosely curled, flowing locks of the Ashanti. The one constant Africans share when it comes to hair is the social and cultural significance intrinsic to each beautiful strand.
"Pambana" (Kiswahili:"Kupambana"-"to struggle") became the national call for change in 1982. Pambana was the title of an underground newspaper that fired the imagination of a whole new generation. Pambana set new standards in politics as well as in publishing and communication… The editorial in the first issue of Pambana is important as it deals mainly with the role of publishing in their struggle. Entitled Cheche: A Spark can light a prairie fire, it reads:
The first issue of PAMBANA marks a major milestone, indeed even a turning point in our country's first history. It is the first truly people's newspaper. It constitutes a step towards creating our people's own voice and our institutions. The government-controlled, foreign-owned press, as well as the laughable Voice of Kenya; lie to us always. They misrepresent Kenya's reality and praise every crime and evil act the ruling class commits…Our people want change, revolutionary change.
PAMBANA is similarly neither free nor neutral. It will accept no apologies for oppression or thievery and will forcefully represent the truth as seen from the majority poor, dispossessed Kenyans who have hitherto been so fully ignored. PAMBANA will therefore be militantly and proudly partisan. The current regime, like the previous one, is fully exposed as unable to solve the political and economic problems facing us.
When the first issue of Pambana came out in May 1982, the people of Kenya recieved it with great joy. It filled Kenyans with hope, great expectations. It made them see that it was possible to change the prevailing oppressive conditions and to create a better life for all Kenyans. That is what they had always looked forward to- an organ which would unite the poor and the exploited against the Kenyan ruling class and their foreign masters. Such a unity is what Pambana stands for."

Diverse societies flourished in Africa and the Americas for thousands of years before Europeans colonized them.
In this hemisphere, there were hundreds of Native nations, each with its own spirituality, language, system of government, and land base. In Africa, societies ranged from complex kingdoms to hunter-gatherer communities, with many tribal, religious, and linguistic differences.
But the peoples of these continents had many things in common. Many considered themselves stewards of their ancestral homelands. African and Native groups also held similar ideas about animal spirits, the guiding presence of ancestors, oral traditions, a living world, and extended family relationships.

[Being mandated to speak English] contributes to the trivialization of anything African and lays the foundation for a deeper sense of self-doubt and an inferiority complex…It instilled in us a sense that out local languages were inferior and insignificant. The reality is that mother tongues are extremely important as vehicles o communication and carriers of culture, knowledge, wisdom, and history. When they are maligned, and educated people are encouraged to look down on them, people are robbed of a vital part of their heritage.

The American philosopher Lewis Gordon, in an essay on affirmative action:
There are those who praise South Africa for making the transformation to a supposedly post-Apartheid society nonviolently. Without violence? The many blacks (in the Black Consciousness conception) and their supporters who were killed, tortured and imprisoned; the many protesters harmed; the tanks; the guns; the dogs; the 3 AM knock on the door; the many instances of trauma, none of them count? What is hidden in this misguided notion, as with what is suppressed about racism and sexism in the anti-affirmative action rhetoric of reverse discrimination and qualifications, is this: in a white supremacist state, violence is only recognized if it is waged against whites.
So, the hysteria about crime, about insecurity in South Africa is, as no doubt everyone knows, similar to the same in the United States. Even when the actual figures of violent crime declined, incarceration of blacks was high, because there was, in effect, the criminalization of a people. As violent appearance, black visibility was criminalized.
An odd feature of post-colonial states is that criminalization of black populations doesn't require white institutional leadership. In so-called black countries, the phenomenon is there and it is color dependent, where darker-skin blacks are the most criminalized. The reasons for this are manifold, but most amount to the near isomorphic relationship between closed social options and skin color as a legacy of racialized slavery and colonialism in the midst of post-colonial environments heavily invested in keeping capital in the hands of the former governing population.

Bourrasque by Paul Cocksedge Studio for the Mairie De Lyon, Fête des Lumières, 2011.
In both scale and technique, this is an ambitious project. Bourrasque measures 25 metres in length and reaches over 15 metres at its highest point. The 200 A3-sized sheets are made from electroluminescent (EL) material, a technology which has recently advanced rapidly to produce a range of sophisticated colour temperatures, in thin and extremely flexible sheets. Each of these double-sided sheets has been individually moulded by hand in London, and then assembled on site in a structure of extraordinary finesse and detail barely visible to the human eye."

WAUSAU, Wis. (WTAQ) - After months of firing shots from their campaign bunkers, Wisconsin's two U.S. Senate candidates will finally debate face-to-face tonight.
18-year Democrat Russ Feingold and Oshkosh businessman Ron Johnson will appear on 79 radio and TV stations for one hour beginning at 8 p.m.
The Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Foundation is sponsoring the forum. It will give Feingold a chance to defend a record that's come under heavy attack from Johnson and the Republicans. And political analysts expect Feingold to come out swinging, at least somewhat.
Feingold is slightly behind in the polls, in a year in which conservatives have already scored some big congressional victories around the country. For Johnson, the debate could give people a chance to know him better – and to make his case that an experienced businessman would represent Wisconsinites better.
Johnson may also be goaded into giving specifics about his plans for the economy – something he told the Milwaukee Press Club he wouldn't do because it would result in his being attacked.
Earlier this week, the Journal Sentinel told how Johnson sticks to a script as much as possible at his campaign appearances, and has avoided long media interviews with national outlets. The story said it was part of a trend in which politicians speak directly to the voters while avoiding tough questions from reporters.
The Johnson camp denies that strategy, but Feingold spokesman John Kraus says tonight's debate will give Johnson a real chance to stop being evasive. It's the first of three Senate debates this month.

Investors beware: Scams can wipe out lives
March 15, 2012 in Personal Finance
George Washington Plunkett of New York City's notorious Tammany Hall gang coined the phrase "honest graft" to affirm his support for any government action that personally enriched him. More to the point, he acknowledged that "I seen my opportunities and took 'em."
This article focuses on the dishonor roll of scalawags, schemers and miscreants who bilk folks out of their money and cost taxpayers billions of dollars. This is a cautionary tale for those who believe nothing bad like this can happen to them.
Let's begin with Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme, where he stole as much as $50 billion from his investors over a 20-year period. Madoff was a well-respected and wealthy investment manager. Millionaires and large charities clamored to invest in his fund, which promised and delivered – sort of – amazing returns. His written reports showed his investors that they were prospering under his management. What he didn't tell them was that he had either wasted their investment or used their money to pay investors who wanted to get out of his fund. Few bothered to verify his statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission opened and closed a file on him with no action taken. Ronald Reagan's comment about the Russians, "trust but verify," should be the motto for all investors.
"Too big to fail" was applied to the banks' mortgage bailout. Clearly this aid was denied to the millions of Americans hit by mortgage foreclosures. Sadly, too many were enticed with zero down mortgages which they had no realistic means of paying. The mortgage brokers made money, the mortgage companies made money, the securities firms made money bundling mortgages into extremely risky investments, and the lawyers foreclosing on the mortgages made money. Everyone on the other side of each transaction and the federal government lost billions. The moral of this sad tale: If a deal looks too good to be true, walk.
Then there are the large pharmaceutical companies that have gouged Medicare and Medicaid out of billions, and admitted it. They paid several billion-dollar fines and promised in writing to the Feds that this wouldn't happen again. They lied. Most companies likely passed on the cost of the fines to the consumers. Jailing the executives who commit the fraud on taxpayers or canceling drug patent rights and allowing the drugs to be sold generically should remedy this travesty. No chance that will happen.
A Federal Reserve official recently praised the Fed for keeping interest rates at nearly zero. She noted that mortgage rates were at an all-time low. She failed to acknowledge how difficult banks are making it to get a mortgage. If you reviewed the balance on your credit card and its obscenely high interest rate, you realize how little you benefit from the Fed's interest policy. What she also failed to note was the effect the extremely low rate of return has on CDs. Retired folks depend on interest to supplement Social Security, so they are hurting.
"Person of Interest," a new television show, involves a government computer system that records our every movement. Perhaps this is not so farfetched. Google, Facebook and other social network sites are busy gathering data about us every time we visit them. If you believe their commitment to keeping all this information private, then you are very gullible. How many times have companies reluctantly admitted that they have inadvertently disclosed your private information? Ask one of your computer-savvy kids about helping you put up a "firewall" to protect your information.
The best most of us can hope for is to know the scammer's tricks and avoid them. Eternal vigilance is essential.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
This seems kinda stupid. You're telling people what they can and can't roleplay.
"it's not just a farmer with a pitchfork running around and trying to kill things."
So which class should I be playing if I want to roleplay a farmer with a pitchfork running around trying to kill things?
Sean Riley said...
You can play any class you want for it. A mage might not make much sense.
Please note the word 'just'.
Yeah, I see the word 'just', but it's not used in the way you're implying it is.
Here, 'just' is used in the way 'merely' would be: as in "a warrior isn't 'merely' a farmer...". This indicates that a farmer who picks up a pitchfork and tries to fight isn't a warrior.
Further evidence that this is the intended meaning comes from the context of the whole article. You can't just pick one word and read it in isolation from its intended meaning and context in order to fabricate an argument.
Sean Riley said...
No, you're right. I was going to argue again, but you're clearly right on this one.
That said, I stand by my basic point: David's just trying to present role-play possibilities. Don't try to tear him down for an off-handed remark.
Yeah, cool. Not trying to tear anything down. Just that I often find these "so you want to be a..." articles go a bit beyond presenting "role-play possibilities". The tone often seems to be "if you're not doing it this way, you're doing it wrong". Perhaps that's just me reading it that way though.
Aerei, what you've said makes no sense as a response to what I was saying. Of course people would realise it's not a mandate from the heavens ... that doesn't change the fact that the general tone of the articles is that "this is how you should be doing it".
I was talking about tone of the articles in general and the sentence I quoted was an example. Clearly this is too complex for you to understand though. I would've explained this in my initial statements, however, as you point out that kind of qualifier would mess with the flow of the writing.
Try again.
