The Backpacker's Guide To… Travel Safety
Travelling can be scary at times, especially if you are travelling on your own. But there are some little things you can do to make yourself feel more comfortable, as well as accounting for any potentially unforeseen emergencies. Here are a few quick tips I have for staying safe on the road.
1. Make Multiples Copies Of Your Passport
Losing your passport is one of the worst things that could happen while you're travelling. However, you can get a replacement and possibly even travel on an emergency if you have a backup copy of your passport somewhere. I have two backup copies of my passport, one is a scanned image of the inside that I have saved on Google Drive online, the other is a printed photocopy left in my safety deposit box at home. That way, if I do lose my passport at some point, I can go into a Canadian embassy, give them the copy of my passport and I can get an emergency replacement passport to get home.
2. Make A Digital Copy Of Everything Else
There are lots of documents you will have while travelling, including plane ticket confirmations, hotel bookings, and activity invoices. Some of these you will likely need to print out, but you will also want access to all your travel documents electronically. I store copies of every invoice, booking confirmation, and anything else on Google Drive so I can access them from my phone, tablet, or any computer in the world. Things can get lost or damaged, and having backup copies of everything makes sure you aren't left without a hotel room or plane ticket.
3. Use A Money Belt And Fake Wallet
When I travel, I still carry my usual back pocket wallet that I always use in my daily life, however, the only thing I carry around in it while travelling is a small amount of spending cash and some random cards. My important cards, ID's, and majority of my cash is in a different wallet attached to my pant's belt under my shirt. The wallet attached to my belt isn't something I access in public, but is there in case I need it. The daily, normal transactions are still done from my normal wallet, but nothing important is in there in case I lose it or it gets stolen. By using a fake wallet in my back pocket, it becomes the target for any potential pickpockets, instead of my actual wallet. Leaving the thief with nothing but old grocery cards, expired student ID's, and pointless store reward cards, while my real credit cards are safely hidden. This strategy is really only needed for busy cities and ones known for theft and pickpockets, but it is always best to be safe.
4. Know Where Help Is
If you're going to be in one city or country for an extended time, you should look up where your country's embassy is and what their phone number is. That embassy will be a safe haven and an important resource if anything goes wrong. Whether for travel documents, emergencies at home, victims of theft, or personal safety, your embassy is there solely for your benefit. For me, being in Norway for 2 months, I will be looking up the Canadian embassy location and phone number in Oslo, and I will probably take a walk down there in the first week I am there, just so I know where it is. You should also register with your government's travel ministry before you go, as it provides them an easy way to contact you in case of emergency. For Canadians, Registration of Canadians Abroad is here, and for Americans, Smart Traveler Enrollment Program is here.
5. Find A Travel Companion
Once at your destination, the easiest way to feel safe is to not be alone. Especially for female travellers, comfort is in numbers. If you are setting off on a solo trip, there are easy ways to find like-minded travellers to join. If you are staying in hostels during your trip, you can easily find other solo travellers that probably won't mind joining up. By nature most solo travellers are likely to be very personable and friendly so making friends shouldn't be too hard. If you feel safe walking around the foreign city, the more likely you are to enjoy it.
6. Use Common Sense
The last part of my travel safety advice is just to use common sense and listen to your gut. You can often detect unsafe situations and you can think about what would be best for you. Something like walking around alone at midnight probably isn't the smartest thing. The way you act and behave at home may not always be the most practical thing abroad. Something like getting really drunk at a bar by yourself could be a good way to get into trouble. Think things through and don't put yourself into any risky situations if you can avoid it. The world isn't nearly as scary as people want you to think it is, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't take precautions to stay safe either.

This delicious recipe comes from The New West Country Cook Book, a beautiful recipe book made by David Griffen and several local chefs from the South West including our Executive Chef, Neil Haydock.
This Valentines day, why not impress your partner by cooking venison stew with potato dumplings and buying them the recipe book at the same time.
"Deer is a truly versatile, rich meat and low in cholesterol. There are the shoulders for braising, legs for dicing steaming or pot-roasting, and loin and fillet for pan frying. The following recipe can be adapted for beef and also cooks well on a campfire."
Serves 6
PREP: 30 mins
COOKING: 2.5 hours
For the venison
1kg haunch of diced venison
4 carrots peeled and diced
3 medium onions peeled and diced
2 bay leaves
500ml beef stock
250ml red wine
2tbsp flour, plus a little more for dusting
75ml vegetable oil
For the dumplings
3 large baking potatoes
2 egg yolks
salt and ground white pepper
For the venison
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large ovenproof saucepan.
- Add the carrots and onions and sweat for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the venison and raise the heat to colour the meat slightly.
- Add the red wine, stock, bay leaves and seasoning.
- Stir in the flour and bring the stew to a simmer.
- Place a lid on to the saucepan and place in the oven for 2 hours or until the meat is tender.
For the dumplings
- Prick the potatoes with a fork and microwave until cooked.
- Allow them to cool slightly and peel.
- Mash the potatoes in a bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the egg yolks and about a teaspoon of flour.
- The mix should come together as a dry ball of potato – if it's a little wet add a bit more flour.
- Divide the potato mixture into two and on a lightly-floured surface roll the potato into a sausage shape.
- With a knife that has been dipped in flour, cut the potato sausage into 3cm lengths.
- Repeat with second ball of potato.
- Place the dumplings on top of venison stew.
- Return to the oven, without a lid, for ten minutes until the top of the dumplings are golden.

Last week, while in San Francisco, I used the Uber app and service four times. All four experiences were great, although one of the drivers stopped for 30 seconds and then left as I was walking up to the car. He must have realized I was a blogger. None the less, the next car was just a minute away and I suffered no pain.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) irreversibly encoded. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Peter Dunkley, Technical Director at Acision, will look at how this identity problem can be solved and discuss ways to use existing web identities for real-time communication.

Can call centers hang up the phones for good? Intuitive Solutions did. WebRTC enabled this contact center provider to eliminate antiquated telephony and desktop phone infrastructure with a pure web-based solution, allowing them to expand beyond brick-and-mortar confines to a home-based agent model. It also ensured scalability and better service for customers, including MUY! Companies, one of the country's largest franchise restaurant companies with 232 Pizza Hut locations. This is one example of WebRTC adoption today, but the potential is limitless when powered by IoT. Attendees will learn real-world benefits of WebRTC and explore future possibilities, as WebRTC and IoT intersect to improve customer service.

While great strides have been made relative to the video aspects of remote collaboration, audio technology has basically stagnated. Typically all audio is mixed to a single monaural stream and emanates from a single point, such as a speakerphone or a speaker associated with a video monitor. This leads to confusion and lack of understanding among participants especially regarding who is actually speaking. Spatial teleconferencing introduces the concept of acoustic spatial separation between conference participants in three dimensional space. This has been shown to significantly improve comprehension and conference efficiency.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, will discuss single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example to explain some of these concepts including when to use different storage models.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — As has been the case for much of this season, some bad luck played a role in Cole Hamels' defeat.
David Wright homered, Daniel Murphy had three hits and Daisuke Matsuzaka earned his second straight victory in New York's 6-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.
Hamels (8-14) lost for the first time since July 26. The left-hander entered Friday 4-0 with a 2.18 ERA in the nine starts since his last defeat. But he left after seven subpar innings, giving up six runs on 10 hits with eight strikeouts and no walks.
"Cole pitched well," Philadelphia interim manager Ryne Sandberg said. "He had good stuff, but luck wasn't on his side. He adjusted after the first, but things just didn't go his way."
Hamels was victimized by some poor pitching and some misfortune. The Phillies committed one error and couldn't make plays on some balls that went for hits, and at least two of the Mets' 10 hits were bloops.
"It's baseball," Hamels said. "You try to make the right pitch. You just have to give them credit for getting the bat on the ball. It's tough but you can't do much about it. You just have to make the same pitches next time.
"Sometimes when your stuff is suspect, you get scoreless innings. It's a law-of-average-type-of-thing."
The game started ominously for the left-hander when Eric Young Jr.'s shallow fly ball to right went off the glove of hard-charging John Mayberry Jr. It went for a double and, after stealing third, Young scored on Murphy's single to center. Wright followed with the hardest hit ball off Hamels, a solo shot to right that put New York in front 3-0.
"It was just fun to be back out there," said Wright, who had been sidelined since Aug. 3 with a right hamstring strain. "You get those competitive juices flowing again. It was pretty surprising to me, especially off Cole. To do that was fun and surprising at the same time."
Mets manager Terry Collins wasn't as surprised.
"I told him the game's not that easy," Collins said. "Special people do special things. It was great to have him back in the lineup.
"This guy loves to play. That's why he's in the lineup. He wanted to get back out there and wanted to finish the season on the field. That's why he's the captain."
The homer moved Wright past Mike Piazza into second on the club's career list with 221 homers. Darryl Strawberry is No. 1 with 252.
"You know you're doing something right to be mentioned in any sentence with Mike," Wright said.
Young Jr. singled, doubled and drove in a run for the Mets, who have won four of seven.
Darin Ruf doubled and drove in a pair of runs for Philadelphia, which has lost four of seven.
LaTroy Hawkins pitched a scoreless ninth for his 11th save in 14 opportunities. Hawkins got some help when a retreating Juan Lagares made a leaping, one-handed catch in front of the wall in center to rob Ruf of extra bases leading off the inning.
New York added lone runs in the third and fourth on RBI singles by Andrew Brown and Young, respectively, before the Phillies scored four times in the bottom of the fourth to pull within 5-4. Ruf did the bulk of the damage with a two-run double. Hamels also drove in a run with a groundout to first.
But the Mets got an insurance run in the seventh on Josh Satin's RBI groundout.
Matsuzaka (2-3) pitched six innings, allowing four runs on four hits with six strikeouts and three walks.
"Overall, my command was pretty good except the fourth inning," Matsuzaka said through an interpreter. "Looking back I could've pitched differently to keep those runs from scoring."
NOTES: Wright's homer was his 18th at Citizens Bank Park, matching his total at Atlanta's Turner Field for his most in road ballparks. . Besides Wright, the Mets activated Wilfredo Tovar before Friday's game. Tovar hit .263 with four homers and 36 RBIs in 133 games with Double-A Binghamton this season. . Young stole his 40th base of the season and MLB-leading 24th since the All-Star break. . The series continues at Saturday night when New York right-hander Dillon Gee (11-10, 3.47 ERA) faces Phillies right-hander Tyler Cloyd (2-5, 5.06).

HYDE PARK, Vt. (AP) - Vermont State Police who arrested a man on drug and traffic charges have found 2 ounces of cocaine in a cornfield after a brief chase.
Police said they stopped a car on Route 15 in Hyde Park on Sunday night and found evidence of marijuana and crack-cocaine in the car. They said the driver, 34-year-old Jesse Rodriquez of West Camp, N.Y., ran down a steep bank and across a cornfield, where he was apprehended by police.
A police dog helped officers find the cocaine.

Possibly the best used bookshop in England, Barter Books opened in 1991 within the disused Victorian rail station of Alnwick, Northumberland; and has evolved into what the New Statesman Magazine calls 'The British Library of secondhand book shops' -a magical place where you are served coffee and cookies as you languish on overstuffed couches and chairs suffused with bibliophilic ecstasy. The store boasts a huge collection of rare and antiquarian books as well as second hand and trade; a cyber-cafe, a separate children's room, and a model railway.
Barter Books is open every day, including Sunday; and Alnwick is worth visiting anyway. It is just off the A1 near the Scottish border; and a three hour train ride from Kings' Cross which would definitely be worthwhile. (image by Meadow (heart symbol) Girl on flickr)

Found June 19, 2013 on MLB Injury News:
PLAYERS: Octavio Dotel, Jim Leyland, Bruce Rondon, Al Alburquerque, Brayan Villarreal, Miguel Cabrera
TEAMS: Detroit Tigers, Oakland Athletics
TEAMS: Detroit Tigers, Oakland Athletics
Much like a superhero, Octavio Dotel has spent the majority of his 15-year career being summoned to save the day in the most critical of situations. Unfortunately, he may have finally met his kryptonite. The stress of 758 appearances, one Tommy John surgery, and countless two-strike sliders has left the Dominican right-hander with elbow inflammation and limited his ability to pitch in 2013. Treatment and rehabilitation has thus far proved unsuccessful and after nearly two months on the disabled list, Dotel is still experiencing soreness in his right elbow. The Detroit Tigers brass has been mum on the subject of his balky elbow, and manager Jim Leyland recently admitted that he had no clue regarding Dotel's injury progress adding that "I think he's just trying to see if he still has it. Hopefully he still has something left in the tank." Now approaching 40 years of age, the prospect of another elbow surgery does not inspire confidence for the playing future of the veteran reliever. While the idea that he may yet contribute in 2013 has not been completely abandoned, the threat of another surgery looms large and may serve as a sad epilogue to a productive career. If Dotel is forced to call it a career, it will come on the heels of a fine 2012 season where he provided stability as arguably the Tigers most effective reliever. In 57 games, he finished with a 3.57 ERA, 2.30 FIP, and 1.07 WHIP, while averaging 9.62 SO/9 innings. In his absence, the Tigers have struggled to fill the late inning void caused by his injury and have been forced turn to the likes of Bruce Rondon, Al Alburquerque, and Brayan Villarreal whom have all failed to replicate his success and found themselves demoted to Triple-A Toledo at one time or another. A season bereft of the familiar spectre of Octavio Dotel, seems just a bit odd. After all, he's pitched for nearly as many teams as he has seasons in the majors. With his trademarked high socks, electric stuff, and exuberant personality he's embraced his role as one of the great characters in the game. If nothing else, he's been near impossible to ignore. His mouth has brought upon a degree of negative attention over the years from his claim that he would pitch free of a charge for the Oakland Athletics after losing the majority of 2005 to Tommy John surgery, to openly questioning the leadership capabilities of Miguel Cabrera during last season title run in Detroit. Combined with his productivity on the mound, it's been hard to ignore neither the pitcher nor the man. With his career in jeopardy, Octavio Dotel is faced with his own baseball mortality. However given his reputation, it would be no surprise if the enigmatic reliever refuses to go down quietly Follow @mlbinjurynews Looking for fantasy baseball advice? .

You are in North America
Published in Association with American Sociological Association
Teaching Sociology publishes several types of papers. The basic distinction is between articles and notes. Generally, articles are longer than notes (about 25 pages long), more analytical, contain an extensive literature review and data analysis. Notes are shorter (usually 15 pages or less), contain a shorter literature review, and present and assess a teaching technique. The distinction reflects the dual purposes of the journal: 1) to provide a forum for analyzing the scholarship of teaching and learning in sociology, and 2) as a forum for the exchange of specific teaching ideas.
Article submissions should be research-based. If applicable to the topic, articles must contain clear evidence of student learning. One major way to show that is through the use of assessment data. Articles are evaluated using some combination of the following criteria:
While Notes manuscripts need not be as research-intensive as Articles are, they are still expected to contain data and evidence. Notes are evaluated using some combination of the following criteria:
Guidelines for Papers Submitted to TEACHING SOCIOLOGY
for the Conversation Section
Teaching Sociology publishes brief comments, arguments, conversations, interviews, and responses related to a wide variety of issues in teaching sociology. The purpose of the Conversation section is to stimulate lively, thoughtful, topical, and controversial discussion. The Conversation section serves as a forum for an on-going exchange of ideas, arguments, responses, and commentary on issues that present the teacher of sociology with formidable challenges, dilemmas, and problems. Submissions to the Conversation section are refereed.
Conversations are evaluated using some combination of the following criteria:
Application Papers in TEACHING SOCIOLOGY
Teaching Sociology occasionally publishes applications of current research. The purpose of application papers is to make sociological research more accessible to undergraduate students by providing instructors with pedagogical tools for incorporating current research in their undergraduate courses. Application papers present learning activities, discussion questions, and other student-centered learning techniques that can be used in a variety of undergraduate courses. Applications are solicited by the editor.
"Submission of manuscripts to a professional journal clearly implies commitment to publish in that journal. The competition for journal space requires a great deal of time and effort on the part of editorial readers whose main compensation for this service is the opportunity to read papers prior to publication and the gratification associated with discharge of professional obligations. For these reasons, the ASA regards submission of a manuscript to a professional journal while that paper is under review by another journal as unacceptable."
Section II.B4, ASA Code of Ethics
A processing fee of $25.00 is required for each paper submitted, except reviews. (Fees are waived for student members of the ASA.) This practice reflects a policy of the ASA Council and Committee on Publications. During the online submission process, the author will be asked to pay the manuscript processing fee using either a credit card or PayPal. The fee must be paid in order to initiate manuscript processing. Manuscripts that are revisions of papers previously declined by Teaching Sociology, but not revisions of manuscripts for which the previous outcome was a request to revise and resubmit, will be assessed an additional $25.00.
Revised: September 2009
Teaching Sociology uses the current ASA style for all articles, notes, conversations, and application pieces. At this time, authors should use the ASA Style Guide, 4th edition.
Examples of correct Teaching Sociology reference format:
Journal article with single author:
Nelson, Craig E. 2003. "Doing It: Examples of Several of the Different Genres of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning." Journal on Excellence in College Teaching 14(2/3):85-94.

According to Jeff Roberts on Twitter, New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that Francisco Cervelli's broken right finger is still sore and will be re-examined by a specialist in Cleveland.
The 27 year old New York Yankees catcher has been sidelined since late April with a fracture and was shut down earlier this month due to a stress reaction in his elbow. He was also linked to the Biogenesis scandal. Cervelli just can't seem to catch a break.
As the Yankees continue forward with the season, they can't afford to count on him at this point. After acquiring outfielder Alfonso Soriano, they are trying to make a strong push towards the playoffs in hopes or winning another World Series.
He's hitting .269 with 3 home runs, 8 RBI's on 14 hits with 52 at bats in 17 games this season. The last game he played was against the Toronto Blue Jays where he went 1-3 with a home run and RBI. If or when he is cleared, he could be coming off the bench, or may even see a couple games at the designated hitters spot.
Cashman said Francisco Cervelli's broken finger is sore and he will be re-examined. #Yankees

Just...take...the...****ing...flower...darling. The Mixed Messenger apologizes again.
You're looking for love, but you'll always maintain your independence. You're prepared for a real commitment, but it's also likely that you're ambitious, which creates a certain romantic tension and ambivalence within you. So although you can be very affectionate to someone, you are also capable of pulling some dubious ****.
Your exact opposite:

Random Gentle Sex Master
In a relationship, you're usually the emotional leader. With your friends, you're a little bit more part of the pack. You're well-liked but you're not the uninhibited type, so the spotlight's often on someone else. In both social and romantic situations, however, you almost always get what you want. Influencing people is something you do very well.

State Rep. Clay Cox of Lilburn on Friday will likely become the first candidate up on TV in the 7th District congressional race to replace John Linder.
Below is the introductory spot, which touts the Republican's support for the Fair Tax – Linder's baby – and an endorsement by Atlanta Tea Party Patriots:

What a flat out awful ad.
Could the scenes look any faker?
June 1st, 2010
4:53 pm
This is a phenomenal spot! The support for the Fair Tax is there, but more importantly the slashing of federal spending and deficit is the focus. Oh and they shot it in Lilburn, nothing fake there.
June 1st, 2010
5:05 pm
Plutocrat and Vietnam draft-dodger Steve Forbes, whose grandfather was the Robber Baron's flack helping cheat through Congress in the "middle of the night," the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Acts, is behind the "FairTax" and FreedomWorks and the "Atlanta Tea Party."
The "FairTax" is a straight-up scam to lighten the tax load for the rich who gave us Bush and Cheney, and to saddle the People with the debt load and other deficit spending costs they've laid on our backs.
The answer is expropriation of fascist plutocracy's "Fifth Column;" not allowing ourselves, particularly in Georgia, to be fooled by fools touting Steve Forbes' "FairTax."
Anybody talking about getting America right without hanging Bush and Cheney first for 9/11 is just another shill for traitors trying to "climb on board" fascist plutocracy's "merry-go-round."
June 1st, 2010
5:17 pm
Uh, Will… Steve Forbes doesn't like the FairTax. He ran on a flat tax platform.
June 1st, 2010

[...] H/T Jim Galloway: [...]

Keith here's a "google" of Steve Forbes' latest front "FreedomWorks AND FairTax" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=freedomworks+fairtax&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=CEcqIQ4oFTLC4GpLmygT9kKD3BgAAAKoEBU_QGEXI
If you are American, let's not get hung up on the particulars of plutocrats jockeying to grab more money and power.
Both the Flat Tax and FairTax are regressive. America's Founders, revolting against the Old Sectarian Order of king and pope, were fully cognizant of the threat of "pseudo aristoi" and the fascist plutocracy now in place in lieu of the sovereign People, and believed taxation should be progressive.
Forbes is just "switching": getting on board the "FairTax" hoax.
June 1st, 2010
7:33 pm
Reply to Will Jones: Mr. Jones, have you taken the time to read anything about the details the Fair Tax offers? From your comments it sure doesn't seem like it.
People of America, please do not listen to me or Mr. Jones, go to http://www.fairtax.org and read for yourselves how the Fair Tax (not Steve Forbes "flat tax" nor President Obama's Value Added Tax [VAT]) can and will save our economy by taxing us when we purchase a new product or service. The Fair Tax will expand our tax base from 140 million over burdened tax payers to 310 million consumers. The Fair Tax will compell
all certified Americans, illegal immigrants, tax dodgers, 40 million foreign tourists that visit us every year, the entire black marketeers that pay no taxes now and workers who evade taxes by getting paid in cash to pay their fair share of the cost to run our government. Every time we purchase a new product or service we will pay our fair share of taxes. Now isn't that better than the broken system we have now? The IRS simply takes your hard earned money up front, before you get a chance to use it for your own purposes. Just think how much you can raise your families standard of living by having the income and with-holding taxes put into your pocket for you to use anyway you like.
People read the details of the fair tax….. you will be amazed.
June 1st, 2010
7:37 pm
The FairTax is regressive.
Disprove the above statement or admit to being a shill for fascist plutocracy…a traitor against the People.
June 1st, 2010
7:50 pm
Mr Jones: You are a hoot!! The Fair Tax is levied on all Americans at the same 23% (inclusive) rate. Everyone pays the same tax on each dollar that is spent on a new product or service. To offset the taxes paid by families with incomes at the poverty level or below a "prebate" check from the fed is sent at the beginning of the month to all certified American heads of households. This means taxes paid for essential products and services are paid for by the prebate check up to the poverty level. Every family will receive a check for x amount of dollars. Even families making 2 million dollars a year. After all it is the Fair Tax. So, Mr. Jones, make what you will of my explanation, I'm sure you will have some choice words for this "shill". All I ask of you is to read up on the Fair Tax before calling it's advocates "traitors".
Thank you in advance.

All these guys are pandering to the Tea Party and have determined to take a position just to the right of Atilla the Hun over in Fascist country. Thanks, but no thanks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regressive_tax check it out. The Founders were on record for progressive taxation…for the reasons made even more obvious by the fact that it is plutocrats and their shills now touting the FairTax…to lower the taxes on the rich…and to get the "proles" (i.e. the Working Class) "under control."
It's a regressive tax…save your "prebate" accounting control of the plebs. You are not American, free, or a man.

He could have saved his money, it's not like he has any real competition since Balfour dropped out and Shafer stayed out. He could sit on the couch and do nothing until November and still walk into Congress. My question is, once the primary's over, will Linder go ahead and retire so we can have a quick special election. Why wait until November to get the new member into a safe seat?

Hey Red – G-d anointed Thomas Jefferson – a Virginian, a true man, buried at Monticello, with thousands of blood descendants – to author the Declaration of American Independence when the Continental Congress was in the process of caving and fleeing to see to their families in distant colonies, as all Philadelphia knew a Tory war-fleet for military conquest of British North America was debarking eighty miles away on Staten Island.
Just as you obviously are no American, so too is it transparently obvious that you are G-dless.
Should you ever become open to higher knowledge, perhaps after moving out of your mother's basement, consider reading Jefferson's and Adam's "post road correspondence": it is as if one placed one's "hand in the wall socket of G-d."
Meantime content yourself as a "freeloader" on America's "train," if you actually have "citizenship." Perhaps you're just a "Fifth Column" papist "busting" the Genius of America who prophetically identified Rome as "the real Anti-Christ?"
Regardless, those who disrespect America's Author, Founder, and Prophet are worthy only of contempt, and accursed.

Your "intellect" is lacking. You are 0 for – well, let's say you cannot get anything right. Not godless, not a Catholic, am a citizen, taxpaying full time working family man. Your "hero" Jefferson was an elitist of the highest order in his design of higher learning. Read the founding of UVa. And I guess his repeated raping of his "property" – yes. Odd that such an enlightened man would find time to have sexual relations with a piece of his property. His slaves had no rights of humanity but he had his way with them. Amazing how "property" would bear his children. The hypocrite would talk about inalienable rights and how all are created equal. I guess only if they were white, learned, property-owning males. Looking at your rant, I suspect white sheets with a dunce cap in your closet. Better be careful about things in the closet as well.

[...] State Representative Clay Cox (R) has released the first campaign spot in the 7th Congressional District race to replace retiring U.S. Representative John Linder (R). Jim Galloway, the Political Insider with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution brings us the video: [...]

Red – In your rejection of the ideals of Jefferson and the truths he wished promulgated at The University – Locke and Sidney – you possess in yourself only a fraction of an American and a man. As you claim not to be G-dless, ask humbly in prayer, the Creator of all, and see if divine Providence didn't intend Thomas Jefferson to be the Prophet his writings prove him to be, and an anointed gift to Humanity, establishing the individual as sovereign over king and pope, recognized from Bolivar to Marx to Ho Chi Minh in all succeeding History. Or perhaps you're fixed on your own conceit?
Slavery, a universal constant since the dawn of time, ended within two generations of his inspired founding of the United States, and had his original draft of the Declaration been left unedited by the Continental Congress – at the Signing.
He was a young man when his wife, whom he married as a widow, passed. On her deathbed she hypocritically forced him to swear on the Bible in the presence of their family and relatives, that he would never remarry. Her half sister, and unmatched beauty Sally Hemmings, hopefully – as the science is not perfectly definitive on the subject – the envy of all American womanhood, was a source of joy, inspiration, revelation, wisdom and love to Our Nation's Founder.
If in violation of the oath his dead wife extracted from him, he "married" her, look to the fate of Mr. Jefferson's mentor George Wythe, whose "housekeeper" and mother of his heir, raised "as if" he were Wyethe's son, was forbidden by law to testify against the nephew whose poison murdered him to speed a hoped for inheritance.
He was virtually worshipped by Monticello's African American community for it was to them and their heirs he bequeathed "technical artistry," cultivating Agronomy, Carpentry, Masonry, Plumbing, Nail and Wine Making, Plastering and all the trades, now forsaken, in large part, by "white" America, yet honored in America's Black community.
The sons and daughters of Radical Protestants, Huguenots, Scottish Highlanders, Vikings, and Jews have made Barack Obama our president only because of The Creed and the ideals passed to us by Thomas Jefferson.
There is but one G-d. This is Its "Garden of the World" into which all nations flow to comprise a righteous, holy Nation.
Try looking at The Big Picture. You didn't kick it off. He did…on G-d's time. Get over yourself.

John Linder was a dentist, and he knows how to fix things. Clay Cox makes most of his money with PROFESSIONAL PROBATION SERVICES, so he's just right for the future of the USA. He helps heap on the laws so that there will always be plenty of business in INCARCERATION and PROBATION. I'd vote for Cynthia McKinney first, and that's the worse thing I can say about CLAY.

Clay Cox is bad for Georgia! What about his runaway spending and tax credits for the rich corporations while he was in the state legislature. We don't need him to send Pelosi home–we need him to fight for working class families. He is another crook that wants to take our rights and keep his. Just look at his bills sponsored in Georgia legislature. It's a shame he has raised the money. I am very scared of Clay Cox.

Clay Cox is just another in a long line of empty suits. His intellect is practically non-existent. He appeals to the worst elements in our society because they are far too stupid to recognize a conartist when one is speaking to them. the bills he iontroduced in the House were examples of his own avarice. These bills were breathtakingly shallow and obvious. He needs to do Geoprgia a bigg favor anmd go home and count all tghe money he's earned at the expense of probationers. If this is the best that the Atlanta Tea Party has to offer, they're more intellectually disabled than I thought they were. God help us all!!!

Clay has this thing wrapped up. He's the only one in this race with touches of Reagan and Newt. If anyone out there in the 7th district of Georgia is for the FairTax or anything close to it, Clay is the guy to bring it back to the table. @Mr. Grumpy-I don't think you know Clay at all. He has a strong conservative record that everyone around him ought to be proud of. @whataliar – What? You need to credit Clay for helping corporations to create jobs. Thank Clay the next time you're at Walmart. @Will Jones – A deadbeat like you needs to be institutionalized. You obviously can't work or join the military so you are basically useless to society.
Clay Cox is qualified to go to Congress and with that beautiful wife, Washington will look much, much prettier.
God Bless,

Mr. Grumpy, where did you learn how to spell, in prison. You should not be allowed to vote because you know nothing of the facts about what you are saying. I am sure you were or maybe still on probation. If we could keep more idiots like you off the streets and the web the world would be better off. Do yourself and others a big favor and check for the truth about candidates instead of making yourself look like the idiot you are.

Bill and jr keep telling people to "check the facts" because they'll show a "strong conservative record." And then we point out key facts about his record (a la HB 619, HB 622, the 2010-11 House budget which included major tax hikes on hospital beds; and finally his claim he participated in lower the spending costs when the reality is the fiscal crisis DEMANDED reduced spending no matter what. There wasn't a dem out there or middle ground republican who would have had money to spend. So Clay is disingenuous about his spending records, he on the record as voting for increased hospital tax beds to the tune of 216million per annum, and his legislative prize pet is HB 619 and 622 which directly benefit his own company.
That's not honest. He's not responding to any of these issues either because he does not have an answer, or he is too ashamed of the greed and misuse of electoral power he misused at the expense of the georgia taxpayer.

The Barolos today are made in a softer, more accessible style that emphasizes low yields and very ripe, concentrated fruit.

Amy Grossman got her start designing clothing. But when she was battling cystic acne, she realized that solutions for beauty need to be more personal. She's kept that attitude at The Skin and Lash Lady, talking with patrons at length before each eyelash and skin treatment. She also keeps each customer's health in mind while applying the lashes, selecting a length that won't damage the existing lash. The shop's glue also takes only four hours to cure fully, meaning that lashes are ready for anything quickly. During the whole process, Amy draws on experience as a trainer for JB lashes and a member of the Lashology Council of America.
Vincent Monforte, a licensed massage therapist, blended his experience as a fitness and dance instructor to develop the V-Touch Method, a proprietary bodywork technique. The method is tailored to three main populations—athletes, the chronically ill, and the severely overweight—and incorporates massage and stretching methods that are anatomically specific, unlike Barbie dolls. In addition to performing the V-Touch Method, Monforte delivers seminars on the topic, elucidating the theory and practice of client-specific massage.

Did you know that love does NOT conquer all?
You see, often people get married with the idea that their ¡§chemistry¡¨ or undying love for each other will keep them together forever.
However, with almost 50% of marriages ending in divorce these days, it¡¦s obvious that this isn¡¦t the case. Therefore, it pays to know a few little secrets before getting married.
Here are 5 tips that help keep couples together long after tying the knot:
Over the years, people often drift apart or relationships and marriages become stale because couples fail to do new and special things together. That's why going on new and refreshing dates is so important. In fact, there is something about ¡§dating¡¨ that creates a sense of magic in a relationship and can even bring relationships out of a rut. While on a date, you also put more effort into your appearance, have more uninterrupted time to communicate on a deeper level and are naturally drawn closer together. Stuck for ideas? Spend the day at the aquarium, zoo, museum, carnival, bookstore, beach or park.
It¡¦s a well-documented statistic that couples who have dated for a year or longer before marriage have a significantly lower rate of divorce than those who married after a short dating period. A year of dating gives time for many emotions to surface and many character traits to be discovered. You may adore someone in the spring, but despise him or her in the winter. Asking someone for his or her hand in marriage on the third date isn't romantic. It's gambling.
Oftentimes, as a relationship matures, partners tend to stop praising each other because they 'assume' their partner already knows what they're thinking. When in reality, a day should never go by without you praising your partner. Compliment them on their cooking, reaffirm that they're the greatest person in the world or tell them they¡¦re a wonderful role model. If you want to be loved and romanced by your sweetheart, love and romance them first. When they're feeling loved, it is much easier to love in return. Are you a super supporter of what your mate does and says? So do you cheer them on and praise them constantly? Or do they constantly hear boos or silence?
Couples with the most problems are often the ones that say, "I just don't understand him/her." So let me ask you: How knowledgeable are you about your mate's profession or the degree they are pursuing? Do you know anything about his or her family heritage? Are you able to have a meaningful conversation about her cross-stitch hobby or his interest in rugby? If you are a man, do you fully understand what women experience during PMS or menopause? You don't need to be identical, but make an effort to learn about the things that interest your partner in life and you'll grow closer as a result.
Does your partner want kids? Do you both want careers? Do they have a history of spending their way into debt? Do they go to church?
In my opinion, the biggest reason almost half of marriages end in divorce is because couples fail to ask each other the right questions BEFORE they get married. I guess people think they'll be able to change their spouses after marriage and everything will be better. Wrong. If you fail to sit down and discuss finances, religion, sex, housing, your future, and other topics in great detail, you could end up with nothing but argument after argument for the rest of your days.
In the end, if you both have completely different views, desires and goals in life, there¡¦s no guarantee that chemistry or "I love you¡¦s" will help you stay together. Make it your utmost priority to understand each other 'inside-out' BEFORE you take that walk down the aisle.

Recording > Aural Pleasure
Little Braves Wound & Will comes off as a debut (it is, sort of), but it also bears the refinement of an artist whose talents have matured (they have). Little Brave is Stephanie Briggs, a New Braunfels-ite with 11 years in the biz. Wound is her third solo release, but the first two bore her married name. Whatever her moniker, Wound is a polished piece of not-quite-indie thats far thornier than adult alternative. The album plays it deceptively straight. Shrugged-off guitar licks spring the verses along, then wait for the band to join in for rockin bridges and choruses. In the eye of it is Little Brave, whod rather sneer melodiously than all-out sing. Her voice channels the warbly vinegar of Ani DiFranco delivered with the smoothness of Matthew Sweet. The result is mature, layered, hard rock with confrontational lyricism. [You] starved a home/and all the bodies in it, she accuses on You Didnt Mean It, a song about sticking to ones word. This is a confident (and smug) work by an artist done proving herself. Savor it, and check her out at Sams Burger Joint on March 5 (read our interview with Little Brave here).

Asbestos was once considered so useful and so indispensible that it was classified as a "strategic material" by the military and used in literally thousands of different applications ranging from the obvious (insulation) to the obscure (crockpots). One overlooked place for asbestos use is wrapped around high voltage cable wires, such as those shown in this photograph.
During its "golden age" (roughly 1890-1980), asbestos was included in nearly any application that involved heat and extremes of temperature. High voltage wires were a natural fit for asbestos insulation. As a non-conducting material, asbestos could prevent arcs to adjacent components and wiring and shield surrounding materials from high temperatures.
Once asbestos use was definitively linked to a wide range of serious illnesses in the 1970s such as asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma, its use was discontinued. Today's high voltage cables do not contain asbestos insulation, but any intact high voltage cables installed prior to 1980 should be tested for asbestos before any removal or renovation.
Anyone who worked around high voltage cable – either installing or insulating them – may have been exposed to asbestos and could be at risk of developing mesothelioma, lung cancer or other asbestos-related diseases.
The lag time between exposure to asbestos and mesothelioma can be up to 50 years, giving those who worked with asbestos the false sense that because they have been exposed but remain healthy, they are safe. Mesothelioma can strike anyone who has been exposed to asbestos at any time.

Being "For" America
"Republicans made me a Democrat" – my mother said the other nite. She was alluding to the blatant and unprecedented obstruction tactics the GOP is using, at great expense to our country, to stop anything Obama is in favor of. Routine government actions (raising the debt ceiling), proposals that have always enjoyed bipartisan support (works bills) and common sense ideas are all being stopped, with the express, stated purpose of not supporting anything Obama wants to get done. Even proposals originally created by GOP rank-and-file are now rejected by their very own.
The goal isn't to actually stop progress – that is the consequence. The goal is to delegitimize Obama's presidency. That is exactly why Obama made a strategic mistake last week. During an interview, he was paraphrasing his Republican friends who privately tell him, in effect, "yes, we agree with you, but we're afraid of what the Tea Party or Rush Limbaugh will say."
In that statement, he gave the far right exactly what they want…knowing that they are bugging Obama. That they are in his head. Sure, he was stating a fact. And he was paraphrasing people in the GOP, but in making that statement, he elevated their legitimacy from inert, though foul, hot air to actually being part of the political discourse.
What Obama should have said instead is "I know there are level-headed leaders in the GOP who agree with me. A voice on the radio can say whatever irresponsible, inaccurate thing they want. But, elected officials have a sworn responsibility to govern…and serve their constituents." In one swoop, he could have challenged the remaining sane voices in the GOP and dismissed the bile that comes from the far right's profiteers.
It is important in order to appropriately cast extremist, for-profit voices as the shameless hucksters they are. More important now than ever before. Because these hucksters have always been out there. What is new is that these extreme voices now speak for actual voters…enough of them, in enough districts, that they have a voice in our government.
What is really happening is far more serious than overcoming the megaphone of extremist rhetoric. It is a battle for the soul of America itself. Rational adults may not want to admit it, but the extremist voices are now elected officials, 'representing' the views of their constituents…howsoever misguided they may be.
You and I, and most people I know, live in a forward-looking America full of promise and potential, faced with new challenges, to be solved with new innovations. But millions of Americans live life looking in the rear view mirror to a time of blissful ignorance, devoid of the responsibility that comes with opportunity. Getting to these voters, changing their heart and minds, I fear, is impossible. As I…and so many others…have written about, most of the misguided live in self-insulating echo chambers that only harden when you approach them with logic, because logic itself has been demonized by their 'sages' – the very people Obama mentioned in his interview.
The only way to beat back the corrosive forces of retreat and division is, as Obama in another speech said, "by being FOR something." By being FOR America.
The most ardent climate change denier will jump at a well paying job in a solar factory. The most fervent denier of Obamacare will jump at its benefits when they have a pre-existing condition, and they need insurance. The forces of retreat are mired in self-contradiction, the best weapon against which isn't persuasion, its self-interest.
Does this mean we let those fighting against progress reap in its rewards…yes. That is being "For" America! So, let's keep doing what we're doing. Inventing and creating and voting. Let's not argue with the inconvincible, let's just offer them a better gig…they'll come over soon enough.

A number of factors have made it possible for Cyprus to being one of the most popular business hubs for thousands of people around the world. The first thing is the tax planning opportunity that Cyprus provides you with. Cyprus has the lowest corporate tax in Europe, which is taxed at 10 percent rate on net profits alone. Every Cyprus Company uses this rate as their corporate income tax. Dividends that are received from a resident Cyprus tax company are exempted from any further tax if you are not resident in Cyprus. Dividends paid from a foreign company are taxed exempted if the company paying is not engaged directly or indirectly in any activity that leads to non-trading income. Or if the tax burden on the company's income is not lower than that of Cyprus.
What you should bear in mind when you go with a company formation in Cyprus is management and control of your company. A Cyprus Company will benefit from the Cyprus beneficial tax regime only if it is managed and control from within Cyprus. A company to be treated as a Cyprus tax resident, should have local directors . Normally, merely incorporating your company in Cyprus will not be enough. A Cyprus offshore company that is incorporated should be managed and controlled from within Cyprus. Thus, the Cyprus Tax Authorities will only register a Cyprus company if the majority of its directors are local directors. You can experience these benefits, if you choose to start up a business in Cyprus. Visit a Cyprus law firm and know what goes on, from start to the last.
