One plan under consideration would add safe bicycle lanes to highways throughout London; another would create dedicated bike flyovers high above the city.April 2, 2013—If Mayor Boris Johnson has his way, the bicycle may soon replace the Tube and the classic black taxicab as the symbol of transportation in London. A nearly £1-billion (U.S.$1.5-billion) plan backed by the city government would create a network of bicycle routes throughout London, including lanes that followed such familiar paths as subways and a 15 mi long segregated "cycleway" that would align with the new Crossrail train route.Entitled the Vision for Cycling, the plan announced by the colorful mayor follows by several months a proposal by the London-based architecture firm Foster + Partners to create a raised cycle network on decks that abut London's elevated railways. The backers of the so-called Skycycle project are exploring possible routes, partners, and funding, according to Huw Thomas, a partner of Foster + Partners, who spoke on behalf of Skycycle. Both plans promise a bright future for bicycle transportation in one of the world's largest cities. According to the mayor's office, cycling on London's main roads has risen by 173 percent since 2001 and is expected to double again by 2023.The centerpiece of the mayor's plan is the 15 mi "Crossrail for the bike," which would extend from London's western suburbs through the center of the city and on to Canary Wharf and Barking, in the eastern part of the city, which is seeing rapid redevelopment. The route would largely consist of segregated, or protected, cycle tracks, particularly along the Victoria Embankment and the Westway flyovers, that would be similar to those in the Netherlands.Over the next four years, a network of segregated and semisegregated bicycle routes would be designed to run parallel to Tube and bus lines and, as an aid to cyclists, would have the same names as those lines.Other features of the mayor's plan include the following:- Fully segregated bicycle lanes that would follow the Dutch example of using barriers or raising the lanes several inches above the roadbed;- Semisegregated lanes on streets that would be formed by using markings or movable barriers;- A network of "quietways"—that is, demarcated bike routes on lightly traveled side streets that would extend into the suburbs and offer options to cyclists wishing to avoid vehicular traffic;- Improvements to the existing bicycle "superhighways" sponsored by Barclays; - A "Central London Grid" of bike routes in the heavily trafficked business district and West End that would feature protected lanes, quietways, and two-way cycling on one-way streets to create links within the grid.Johnson's goal, he said in a press release issued on March 7, is to make bicycling "something you feel comfortable doing in your ordinary clothes. Our new routes will give people the confidence to get in the saddle." Although London has a long way to go to match Amsterdam's commitment to bicycling, these plans mark "a profound shift in my ambitions and intentions for the bicycle," the mayor said. Apart from reducing the number of cars on the roads, the plan would make the air cleaner. If 14 percent of car trips in central London were replaced by bicycles, the main pollutant from motor vehicles, nitrogen oxide, would fall by almost a third, he said. The mayor said he hoped to open the first quietways next year and to deliver the east–west "Crossrail for the bike" by 2016. Over the next three years, segregated lanes and other safety improvements would be phased in at some of the most dangerous intersections. Transport for London, the city's principal transport agency, has been directed to conduct trials of such cyclist-friendly innovations as Dutch-style traffic circles and eye-level traffic signals for cyclists. The agency will work with the city boroughs, which control the majority of the capital's roads, to determine the best cycle routes. No design or engineering firms have yet been selected, according to Sarah Gasson, a spokesperson for the mayor.And while these street-level plans move forward, Londoners who gaze upward can gain an insight into Skycycle. First announced in September 2012, the Skycycle proposal calls for a series of elevated, pay-as-you-go commuter bike routes supported by London's existing railway structure and reached by ramps or vertical lifts. The plan was conceived by Foster + Partners together with the London-based landscape architecture firm Exterior Architecture. The international engineering firm Buro Happold was involved in early planning but is no longer part of the project team, according to Thomas.Thomas says the team believes there is a way to create additional capacity for bicycle transportation by using the Network Rail system. "If you add additional decking around these railway lines, not only can you create arterial capacity, [you also have] a new opportunity to re-create the city and create a network that cyclists could use," Thomas said. Thomas says the Skycycle scheme was independent of Johnson's plan, "but they raise the same question: how are you going to free up space for cycles at the arterial level?" As he sees it, the charm of Skycycle is allowing cyclists to avoid the "energy sapping," stop-and-go riding on city streets. "The idea is to create routes where cyclists can just go without interruptions," says Thomas. "That's a lot more efficient and attractive."Thomas is vague about the next steps in the process. "We're looking at the larger system and how we begin to implement something. Is it in short, key stages? Does it have to be part of the national planning?" he asks. "If you have a ten-year view of this, you can create an extraordinary opportunity."

Regarding Laurel's discussion about Elkins: I'd certainly like to hear others' thoughts on this, especially the painters among you. Does what Elkins writes resonate at all?
Coincidentally, I encountered last night a reference that implied alchemical thoughts may pervade our unconscious, affirming that it certainly had an impact on more contemporary artists. In "Carr, O'Kieffe, Kahlo: Places of Their Own", in the chapter on spiritual aspects of their painting, the author Sharyn Rohlfsen writes about Kahlo's study of alchemy and cites evidence of where its influence appears in her paintings. She said other female painters of the time also had affinities for alchemy, mainly its symbolism rather than for any scientific reasons. Further, she writes that psychologist Carl Jung also studied and wrote about alchemy. He felt that there was alchemical symbolism, largely ignored by Christianity, that still pervades our unconscious wit archetypal symbols and ways of thinking. Intriguing, isn't it?

Rod & Custom Feature Car
Cecil De Aro
Riverside, California
1954 Chevrolet Bel Air
Beneath Cecil's dropped-top Bel Air lies a modified-stock, fully adjustable chassis, courtesy of JBC (Riverside, CA). Features include a Fatman Fabrications IFS with stainless control arms top and bottom and a custom-made, triangulated four-link. All four corners have been fitted with Firestone airbags from RideTech, which are now operated with a one-off control system. Using a CPP frame mount brake pedal kit (dual-chamber master with 8-inch booster) helped eliminate the stock pedal-cylinder setup and facilitate 11-inch disc brakes up front (drums in the rear). While the stock steering box was replaced in favor of a power rack-and-pinion, the stock column was retained (shifter mechanism and all) with the aid of Flaming River stainless U-joints and an ididit cable shifter linkage kit.
Forgoing the unmistakable rap only a straight-six-uncorked, of course-could make, knowing his '54 would serve as his daily driver, Cecil opted against traditional inline power. Instead, his Bel Air is now equipped with a V-8 of the small-block Chevy variety. Machined and assembled by Nick Martinez at Magnolia Center Machine (Riverside, CA), the 350 features center-bolt iron heads, Edelbrock Performer induction (in EnduraShine finish), HEI ignition, Mooneyes finned center-bolt valve covers and cast air cleaner, and a polished Billet Specialties TruTrac serpentine system. Completing the drivetrain are a TH400 automatic rebuilt by Louis Aguilar at Budget Transmission (also in Riverside) and a 10-bolt GM rearend.
Wheels & Tires
For everyday driving, which Cecil claims he'll be doing with the '54, a set of BFGoodrich Silvertown radial whitewalls will be the rolling stock of choice. For the photo shoot, however, the radials were swapped out for 6.70-15 Firestone bias-plies (both from Coker Tire). While the latter definitely fit the bill looks-wise, there does come a time when appearance is sacrificed for performance-at least on the roads of Southern California, that is. In either case, the '57 Cadillac hubcaps atop stock 15-inch steel wheels remain a constant.
Body & Paint
Although the top chop is without a doubt the center of attention, JBC saw to quite a number of modifications below the belt line on the Chevy: nosed and peaked hood, shaved handles, frenched head/taillights, decked trunk, etc. While the front bumper is stock (albeit with filled holes), the rear is a combination of stock and '56 Chevy, which necessitated making a custom splash pan as well as integrating a Riviera license guard to surround the relocated plate. Of the side trim that was retained, the rear quarter spears now feature a Mother of Pearl veneer. Literally coated in candy-House of Kolor Candy Apple Red, not basecoat candy-the Bel Air features a level of paintwork few customs could ever dream of.
To avoid undermining the candy exterior, JBC farmed the Pearl White interior out to Henry at The Upholsterers in nearby Riverside. Chrome accents, such as the garnish moldings combined with red carpet and piping, avoid any overstatements, yet the interior still affords driver luxuries like air conditioning (Vintage Air Compac II), power windows and seats (late-model buckets sandwiching a '60s Ford center console), and a decent sound system as well, thanks to Dallas at Al & Ed's. With the exception of the speedometer, stock instrumentation has all been converted to electronic. Glass work was done by John Ray at Glass & Related Trim (Riverside, CA).

I bought this for a trip to South America, including a 4 day hike up the Incan Trail and this came in very handy. What I like most about it is that because it is made of rubber you can fold it up and carry it discreetly in your pocket ( I use a freezer bag to carry it in) so you are not announcing to the world where you are going :-). It was easy to use and I was glad to have it in some of those bathrooms where you just would not sit down!! Highly recommend

From my experience, the Federal Government civil service work force is the biggest discriminator against veterans and disabled veterans there is.
It does no good to contact your congressmen or senators because it's all swept under the rug. Nepotism is rampant, high ranking officials and HR Managers openly discriminate against veterans, and I have witnessed one HR Manager recommend to a COL that Veterans not be given preference in hiring because it is not fair to non veterans.
All places of Federal Employment are supposed to have Veteran's Affirmative Action Program and do not, when you ask why not you get no answers, and this is in violation of a Federal Law.
Congress and Senate can pass Veterans Bills until the end of time, but they are not worth the paper written on.
Active Duty Soldiers be prepared when you exit the military, the Federal Government Civilian work force does not want you!
Who is going to enforce the Laws and Bills passed by congress and senate to afford Veterans and Disabled Veterans Preference and opportunities in the Federal Government work place? The only chance you have right now is if you are related to someone who will hire you, your military training, experience, and education means nothing.
I retired fron the AF and had no problem securing Federal employment on the first application.

Harsh words, indeed.
I do not subscribe to conspiracies as its alluded to in your post..bump...bump
I think we as veterans may sometimes unintentionally expect things to be handed to them on a silver platter. I know that the Veterans preference works. I know it to be alive and well and thriving. Its design was to give veterans an edge over employment PROVIDED that basic prerequisites were met and those are that the veteran and his/her competitors for the position have near equal footing in terms of educational requirements, Resume', qualification, availability and a few other basic fundamentals. I think perhaps that some veterans are under the impression that because they served and because there is a 5 and 10 point preference designed to reward a veteran for his/her service to country or war, they might wrongly assume that they are owed the job, position over and above anyone else and must therefore be hired as if in front of the line. No. The Veterans Preference was designed to give you preference and a little edge for employment purposes BASED ON THE NOTION THAT THE APPLICANTS ARE OTHERWISE EQUALLY QUALIFIED. Then, it is the law and applied/adhered to then give preference points over other applicants and thus hire the veteran. It was never designed and it is no promise given and broken to veterans who think that they must be hired over others. Again, the applicants must all have the fundamental position requirements on relative equal footing before a preference is required. Any veteran can successfully gain employment using the 5-10 point vet pref if he/she would take a little time to research positions open where he/she first meets the basic, fundamental requirements posted for that position. Wishing you all the best in your career search.
Eres Tu!
There is a law that came out in 1973 for defence contractors to give Veterans jobs.
I never had much of a problem getting a job at Bell Helicopter or Sikorsky Helicopter (I was military in helicopter). I feel they treated veterans good. However I do feel you need to be trained to do the job. If someone else was trained in the field and the Veteran isn't. Then you take the other guy, not the Vet. The V.A. pays for us to go to school and receive training. Get trained for the job!! (Just because we put on a uniform and fought for our country, does not give us a free ride. We fought for love ones.) Bet I will hear about that statement!! Hutch -out--
The last time that I responded to a similar post, my post was removed. The reason given was that it too "political" and that the forum was not dedicated to discussing "political" issues.
<<MOD Note - I have removed the bulk of your post and I am telling you if you post in one of the Veterans areas again, you will be suspended for 90 days - you are banned from Veterans Issues as you can not post something acceptable, all you posts are out of line. >>This message has been edited.

For every 1000 discrimination complaints, there is probably, maybe, and possibly one that is real.
The rest are less qualified and less trained individuals that want to believe the reason he/she did not get the job is for a different reason then 'less-qualified or less-trained.
My thoughts are that the hiring folks really don't care enough to discriminate -- Discrimination takes effort and consistancy, and what appears as discrimination is more likely "IDGAS" instead, paired with someone that wants more than he/she earned or is entitled to get.

I am considering suspending you for this post. You where warned that this was not acceptable. I will discuss this with other moderators. A suspension would be for an extended period of time, since you feel that a warning is not enough.

SO, it is apparent that you need to take a basic Law 101 class because:
HOW, can you in one breath state 'DESPITE THIS CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE" then say "THE COURT RULED AGAINST"
My Friend,, Law is basic, it does not change, the courts do not change, no one changes the parameters the case is brought forth. If a case is brought before a court and there is indeed CLEAR and CONVINCING evidence..The court would have upheld the Plaintiffs suit and the argument over..example..a person commits murder, the state claims it has clear and convincing evidence that (a) the murder took place (b) a certain person did it (c) all their evidence points to that person...Sounds pretty clear and convincing doesn't it? Well,,,then comes the Court, the Judge..and they say..PROVE IT !!, so they go to trial..they present everything they have...sounds bad for the person charged with the murder...but then the DNA left on the body, the weapon links the murder to the brother of the person charged with the murder, thus clears the person charged. What happened to that Clear and Convincing evidence? I heard the sound of a flushing toilet...When you state...again WHEN YOU..state "Clear and Convincing Evidence" YOU ARE MAKING A PERSONAL OBSERVATION AND THUS ARE PRESENTING A """"PERSONAL OPINION"""""
Those 2 things are critical, and NOT part of a conspiracy of any court, in any ruling, at any time. We all have different views on why a football team lost the game, after the fact. One thing didn't change, the team still lost the game. Make sense?

You're a super sharp fellow Freddy. :-) These guys aren't going to get anything slick and sneaky past you! He sounds like one of the three or four people in this country who belong to or has strong sympathies with those groups whose name starts with a "K" or two?
This mentality is what pushed me out of the work force years ago. It also made life in the military a nightmare also.
Stay on their case. I've got your back.
Dave m. I would erase that post referring to military contractors as mercenaries, it is an ignotrant statement from someone who does not understand exactly what job military veterans are filling in the contracting world, don't let someone perpertarte the myth on this board.

Veteran's preference is just another form of discrimination, as are all affirmative actions. I'm not taking away any due respect of veterans, but there is no need for veteran's preference in federal hiring practices. Veteran's preference even discriminates among vets. All veterans do not qualify.
To think there is a need for veteran's preference is equivalent to believing that veterans can't compete without preference among other job candidates.
I believe veterans should be given credit for their experience gained in the military, but not be given automatic hiring preferences.
I have been discriminated against for National Park Service jobs because I don't have veterans preference, especially 10-point disabled veterans preference. My master's degree in parks and natural resource management falls short of minimally qualified veterans (without college degrees) for most positions.
Tell me how that is just.This message has been edited. Last edited by: nottavet,
That is right because, while you were in college that vet was standing the front line to keep you safe.
While you were taking all this country has to offer, he was giving to ensure it was here for you to take.
You went to school. Thats a good thing. being a vet is a larger good thing.
I would hire a vet over you any day of the week.

Last Tuesday, I got my second tattoo. This one was done by [the very talented] Shane Trevett at The Shaman's Den in Binghamton, NY (they have a tumblr too! Their url is, appropriately, theshamansden.)
[TW: Mentions of SI and suicideation]
I want to just say right now that this might be a little hard for some people to read. Please, if you are easily triggered, don't read this.
This tattoo has been a long time in the making, a lot of people and ideas and words and pain and leaving and therapy and cigarettes and hospitalization and hugs and change and a whole hell of a lot of love. I actually don't even really know where to start. My story is so incredibly huge and, really, it would take the next 20 years to tell you about the first 20. I apologize that what ensues may be a bit long, but its my story to tell, and it's my blog to tell it on.
There were a few times in my life, between the ages of 9 and 18, that my depression almost got the best of me. I hurt myself for a very long time. Cutting was how I got through the day, every day. Most of the time, I couldn't even make myself get out of bed - I would just sleep, wake up, cut, and go back to sleep. It didn't matter to me that people worried about me, or wanted me to stop, and really, knowing that I was hurting the people I loved by hurting myself only made me hate myself more. It became more than an addiction - it was my life; the only times I felt at rest were the times I was slicing myself open. But it started getting to the point that I was scaring myself, going too deep, doing it too much - the scars that you see in this picture were made while I was at college over the course of a night, and to just make a bit of a point, I don't scar very easily. They were deep and they wouldn't stop bleeding and when I thought about it, I didn't even know what had upset me so much in the first place. But that still didn't stop me. The last time I tried committing suicide, I finally had myself checked into the hospital, where I was diagnosed with the following: depression, bipolar II, pica [but only paper], borderline personality disorder, and schizoaffective disorder.That seems like a lot (even to me), but since those two weeks of intense (and very intensive) therapy, I've been learning how to deal with it. One day at a time, you know?
It seems like, still, there is something every day that sends a twinge of that urge to hurt myself coursing through me. I'm weak enough - and strong enough - to admit that I still have a 'just-in-case' razorblade hidden away. It's hard - really, really hard - to let go of something that used to be my life. To stop myself from doing it. To try and stop myself from even thinking it. And that's why I got this tattoo.
This design is original, and it holds a lot of meaning. It's both a heart and the word "Love" made of dashed lines and stars. The organization To Write Love On Her Arms has always been a large part of my personal journey toward healing. Renee Yohe's story effected me a lot, especially after I read her book Purpose For The Pain. It was the truth behind the philosophies of "Hope is real, Help is real", "rescue is possible", and "Love is the movement" that made me want to get help to start changing the ways my mind worked. When asked what she wanted to say to people, Renee said for TWLOHA (and amazingly, again to me personally when my friend Jeremiah had her talk to me on the phone last summer) to "remember the stars." The entire quote is this:
"Tell them to look up. Tell them to remember the stars. The stars are always there but we miss them in the dirt and clouds. We miss them in the storms. Tell them to remember hope. We have hope."
So then, when I was in the hospital, dealing with my demons and meeting so many people that were fighting their own, I wrote a poem for homework in art therapy that I titled "Shards of Stars" that I'm going to share with you below:
Shards Of Stars
When thoughts corrupt and words deceive,
When lies are told and husbands leave,
When boyfriends' fists meet girlfriends' faces,
When murderers leave naught but traces,
When silence means he gets away,
When sounds of gunshots start your day,
When children commit suicide,
When mom is drunk and you can't hide,
When your best friends are razor blades,
When you're raped and music fades,
When life is filled with all these pains,
When all else fails,
Then love remains.
The truth in my words hit me as I read it out loud to the people I was writing it about. Love is the biggest thing we've got. Forget gravity or inertia or science - love is the most powerful force in the universe. Love is hope, love is what made me check myself into the hospital, made me want to get better, makes me fight every day for what sometimes feels futile. I'm not over depression, or bipolar II, or BPD, or hearing small voices sometimes in the back of my head tell me that it would be so easy to have that release again. It is not easy, and it probably never will be, to deny those voices. There are days that I don't think I'll make it. But love is bigger than that. The love that is surrounding me and filling me, the love that I have in my heart to give to myself and to others, is so much bigger than the hurt and the confusion and the urges to hurt myself that live inside my head. And I know that if I ever fall, if I ever cave in or lose myself or just can't take it any more, if I do hurt myself again, that love will still be there. I am more than the things that have made me hurt. I am more than my mental illnesses. I am more than my pain, more than my scars, more than the sum of my mistakes. To quote a beautiful song by Fireflight, "I'm not what I have done, I'm what I've overcome."
I used the dashes and stars to signify TWLOHA because of what their messages mean to me, personally. In their logo, they use dotted lines connected by a white star and a blue star. I changed the star in my tattoo to purple for a very important person in my life - one guess who. :3 From the very first time we really talked, Michael has always seen me as me - not as broken, like I'd always believed of myself, or as someone with too much baggage. He's never made me feel like my scars are disgusting. To him, they're just a part of who I've been, they're marks on my body, and he loves me for exactly who I am…and that is still something I'm getting used to, but it is so completely beyond everything I've ever dreamed of love being like. Unconditional, for real. ♥
As for the lettering and the design - it's my own, and that was important to me. The scars were put there by me, so I wanted the 'love written on my arms' put there by me. Right over a scar, in my own handwriting, so I remember every time I look at it that no matter what, when all else fails, love remains.
So it's drawn on a paper towel, but here is the basic design of my tattoo. :] the stars will be a bright blue and purple. I liked designing this because it is, all at once, the word 'love,' a heart, a TWLOHA homage, and it contains stars. And it will hopefully only cost about 60 bucks. Now I just have to hope that whoever does it wants to help me tweak it so that it fits on my arm and doesn't really interfere with my scars because I guess scar tissue is really hard to tattoo over.
What do you guys think? :)

In the mid 1990s, a couple of Stanford graduate students visited the popular search engines of the day, offering to license new technology they had developed. Executives from AltaVista and Excite weren't impressed. Infoseek CEO Steve Kirsch told the duo to "go pound sand." So, with none of the major players interested, Larry Page and Sergey Brin decided to start their own little company called Google.
In today's SearchDay article, Search Memories, Mike Grehan reports on a panel at the recent Search Engine Strategies conference where veterans of AltaVista, Excite and Infoseek reminisced about the early days of web search and opined about Google, then and now.

According to what is most likely a highly reliable source known as the "urban dictionary," a "shilpa" is a South-Indian woman with sexy big tits and a "bhabhi" is an endearing term for the wife of a close friend or relative. With that in mind, the sitename Shilpa Bhabhi makes a lot of sense, because it stars an amateur Indian wife with a nice set of titties who likes to get it on with her hubby in front of a camera.
I should also point out that it's possible ShilpaBhabhi is the wife's stage name. There are 58 videos and they vary in length, from short, one-minute scenes to over 25 minutes long. You'll see the couple getting it on in the same few locations on account of how they always do it in their home. At most they update twice a month and I can tell you that in the past they've even skipped updating altogether for a few months at a time.
The action includes a bit of everything. There's a voyeur element in being able to watch her shower or go about her chores (while nude, of course). You'll also find hardcore sex and anal penetration, blowjobs galore (including 69's) and a nice amount of solo pussy play in the masturbation vids. Her lovely boobs also get titty fucked every now and then.
Each scene comes in a full-length AVI file and the ones I watched were great in quality. There's also a streaming option. Very often the couple is wearing a mask while they get it on, while those few scenes that don't have their faces covered somehow tend to have the camera angled so that you never get a good look at their faces.
The same isn't always said for the photos, but those usually blur out her eyes. It looks like there are more, but you'll only find four picture sets. The rest contain vid caps. The pics look pretty clear, but they're all low-res images and you can't save any of them in Zip folders.
There's a bonus section filled with videos starring an "aradhana bhubhi." Aradhanas are women with a cute face and big booties. This particular bhubhi is a mature chick who's a little on the chubby side, but her butt seems to be where most of her fat is, because it is much bigger than the rest of her! Like the main content, you'll see hardcore, oral and even some stripteasing, all of which stars an Indian couple. Unlike the main content, this couple doesn't cover their faces at all.
Shilpa Bhabhi is unlike most other Indian sites in that it doesn't bombard you with hidden camera footage that's completely nonexclusive and terrible in quality. This couple knows exactly what they're doing and puts on some hot performances in high quality. So while there may not be the most content just yet, I definitely recommend this site, especially to lovers of Indian porn.

All we've gotta say is…really, Utah? Regardless of
conservative politics, moral values or religious beliefs, in this day and age,
is it really smart to completely eliminate sex-ed from public schools? We get
that waiting until marriage for sex is a value many Americans ascribe to. But
even if a girl decides to wait, wouldn't it be better for her to be fully
informed of her options and simply opt not to go there rather than to
potentially make one uninformed decision that affects her entire life?
No matter your stance on sex-ed or the act itself, facts are
facts. More than three-quarters of girls have had sex before they turn 20—and that's
for girls who've had sex ed. The number jumps to 86 percent without a solid
sex-ed curriculum. Eliminating sex-ed doesn't seem to reduce rates of sexual
activity, it increases them, yahoo.com
reports. And if teens are going to be having sex regardless of what anyone says
or does, shouldn't they be having safe sex? We certainly think so.

I was worried if I would like this shade or not. It is awsome, good quality, like the no string mess, the cream color is just right, it fits perfect, and looks great.
I love these. Second blinds we have bought for our new home. We have toddler so cordless is a must. These are nice quality, easy to install & look great. What a value for the price! Tried getting at department store & price does not compare for size. Does let some light in but perfect privacy.
I love it. I needed it in my kitchen window. Easy to install, easy to raise and lower and looks great.
sUPER NICE PRODUCT, LOOKS GREAT, EASIEST INSTLLATION ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET! WOULD BUY AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT. tHANK YOU!
These blinds were very simple to install. Even the 61 in. was easy enough that I could do it myself. The system operates smoothly, only needing a pull or push on the bottom handle to open and close. Provides privacy, some light control, and much safer for children than the blinds with cords. They have a minimilist look that plays well with several decor styles and I'm very pleased with the white color we purchased.

text: my son has been diagnosed early on in kindergarden with being bipolar, adhd, sad, odd, and ocd. he has been on medicine since then... all different kinds, none ever worked. he is currently on tenex, when he takes it. he stays up all night playing online computer games and sleeps all day. he gets back on track and then looses it again. when he gets angry about the game or anything, he screams and hollars and beats on the wall and something will get broken. he has also been abusive with me, he broke my nose with a rock a few years ago, and spent a week in a mental ward and then my sister took him for five weeks. he was about 8 then. nobody or anything seems to calm him down no matter what we do. he is very attached to me and i also have bipolar 2 and a few other things like chrone's disease that i believe was brought on through all the stress from my son. he has been out of school for a year now because he gets kicked out of school or they want to keep sending him to PASS which is not helping him in anyway. he won't let me home school him because he doesn't listen. my husband wants to send him away... i don't. but i also don't want to be afraid of my own son in a couple of years either... can anybody help, we are at a loss.

Welcome to Dream Dictionary!
To see fresh, healthy ferns growing in natural surroundings is an augury of a benign atmosphere surrounding you and your undertakings. However, if the plants are dead or wilting, it is an omen of trouble. Ferns in pots forecast a misunderstanding that you should make an effort to clear up before it grows into a permanent rift. To buy, pick, sit on or lie on ferns predicts a new and thrilling experience.

Intentional Marriage
Jesus answered, 'Don't you know that in the beginning
the Creator made a man and a woman? That's why a man
leaves his father and mother and gets married.
He becomes like one person with his wife. Then they are no longer
two people, but one. And no one should separate a couple
that God has joined together.'"
Matthew 19:4-6 (CEV)
Marriage is important.
It's a special covenant, established by God, in which a man and woman willingly bind themselves together in love and become one. The Bible uses the marriage relationship as a symbol of the relationship between Jesus Christ and the Church. It's the foundation of a healthy family and a strong society.
Marriage is hard work…even for Christians.
It's easy to get married, but difficult to stay married. And the goal is not simply to avoid divorce or separation. Anger, frustration, dysfunction and disconnection are not God's intention for marriage.
Marriage depends on good communication.
It is vital for husbands and wives to talk with each other about hopes and dreams and spiritual things. Conversations need to deal with more than just work, kids and things that need to be done around the house.
Our goal is to encourage honest, open communication between husbands and wives. We believe that willingness to "risk" in this area can have huge benefits. Part of becoming successful in communication is unlearning some bad habits while cultivating new habits. Some of the bad habits couples get into are:
- Miscommunication… Everyone wants to be understood, but our ability to listen to others is often complicated by our need to say what's on our mind. In order for good communication to occur a message has to be both sent and received accurately. If a person is focused only on sending a message it will very likely interfere with his or her ability to receive a message.
- Angry Communication… When a conversation starts as a complaint, it's easy and natural for the receiver to immediately go on the defensive. A critical, blaming tone of voice creates a "survival" mindset in the other person, regardless of the issue. Focusing on your spouse's failures in a harsh, disrespectful way erodes trust and intimacy.
- Passive Communication… Always giving up or giving in is also unhealthy. A spouse who consistently discounts his or her own wants, needs and feelings is also eroding trust and intimacy. Mutual respect and appreciation requires give and take, and recognizes the interests of both the husband and wife.
Communication "Dos"
- Do look for something to praise your spouse for every day.
- Do make time to talk when there's not a problem to solve or many distractions.
- Do unto your spouse as you would have him or her do unto you.
- Do appreciate the inherent differences between men and women.
- Do avoid volatile statements like "you always…" or "you never…"
- Do keep in mind what really matters. The goal is not to win an argument. The goal is to have a healthy, vibrant marriage!
Communication "Dont's"
- Don't interrupt the other person.
- Don't lose your sense of humor.
- Don't assume that you know what your spouse is going to say.
- Don't assume that you know how your spouse feels.
- Don't try to have an important discussion when one or both of you is tired, angry, upset or hungry.
- Don't stop believing that your marriage is important and worth working for.
Ephesians 5:15-33 (New Living Translation)
"So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don't be drunk… that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit… making music to the Lord in your hearts. And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord… For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church… As the Scriptures say, 'A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.' This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one. So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband."
Each month we will offer questions for couples to use in having healthy, spiritual conversations with each other. We encourage you to set aside some time – at least once a month – to discuss these questions in a friendly, supportive way. View the archived questions.
October Couples Questions
"So love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, and strength. Memorize his laws and tell them to your children over and over again. Talk about them all the time, whether you're at home or walking along the road or going to bed at night, or getting up in the morning. Write down copies and tie them to your wrists and foreheads to help you obey them. Write these laws on the door frames of your homes and on your town gates." Deuteronomy 6:5-9 (CEV)
"Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it." Proverbs 22:6 (NLT)
"Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children." Proverbs 17:6(NLT)
Children. What comes to your mind when you hear that word?
As much as a person's life changes when he or she gets married, in some
ways the impact of adding a child is even greater. Committing yourself to an
intimate marriage relationship with another adult is obviously life changing.
But taking complete responsibility for a helpless baby (or two) can be even
more demanding.
Like marriage, parenting has the potential to provide both the greatest joy and
greatest pain in all of life! And while there are certainly choices we make and
many things we can control, it sometimes seems there is much beyond our control.
The Preschool, Children and Youth Ministries of our church are ready to partner with you in the significant challenge of parenting. And our local school district offers education, structure and support once a child reaches a certain age.
But the majority of the responsibility for raising children clearly rests on the shoulders of the parents.
Couples Questions…
- How has having children – or not having children – affected your marriage?
- How has the way you were raised affected your attitude about parenting?
- What thoughts do you have about fertility treatments and adoption?
- Who do you depend on most to partner with you in raising your children?
- How do you as a couple handle your differences of opinion on childrearing? Note: you may want to review the August session on "problem solving."
- What do you most want to pass on to your children?
We are asking our Adult Bible Study groups to identify "Marriage Enrichment Leaders" who will help to foster this emphasis throughout our church. These individuals are not "experts" nor are they claiming to have a perfect marriage. They are simply concerned members who want to nurture healthy marriages in our congregation. Our hope is that this area will continue to develop over time so that open, honest communication in and about our marriages will become the norm!

Jack Goldsmith on the "Front Page Rule"
Jack Goldsmith has a new post today at the Hoover Institution's blog The Briefing (and teased by Goldsmith in a post for Lawfare) on the interesting question, raised by the President's Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies, of whether intelligence policy should adhere to the "Front Page Rule." The Review Group described this principle "that we should not engage in any secret, covert, or clandestine activity if we could not persuade the American people of the necessity and wisdom of such activities were they to learn of them as the result of a leak or other disclosure." Unsurprisingly, some in the intelligence community have reacted negatively to this suggestion. For his part, Goldsmith advances what he describes as a "partial defense" of the Front Page Rule:
[W]hatever the status of the Front-Page Rule in the past, and whatever its status in other contexts, the intelligence community should employ a version of the rule going forward — at least in the specific context of communications intelligence that takes place in the homeland or that affects US persons abroad. I reach this conclusion for several reasons.
First, the counterfactual assumption of the Front-Page Rule is increasingly a reality: Secret intelligence actions . . . are increasingly difficult to keep secret. The reasons are familiar: The enormous growth in the size of the intelligence bureaucracy makes the larger number of secrets known to a larger number of people, thereby expanding the possibility of leaks. Technological changes in the storage and distribution of secrets push in the same direction, as Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning and massive cyber thefts have shown dramatically in the last decade. Technology also empowers individuals outside government to coordinate in discerning "secret" intelligence actions, as the private discovery and monitoring of CIA rendition flights a decade ago shows. . . .
Second, in a world where surveillance cannot regularly be kept secret, the US government must address new tradeoffs from its robust surveillance activities. Pre-Snowden, the US government faced few constraints in its collection and analysis other than what the law imposed, what its technology could achieve, and what its large budget permitted. Within these constraints, it could focus solely on the national security benefit side of communications surveillance, for there were few costs, and practically no political costs, to it. In the post-Snowden world, NSA collection programs are very costly along many dimensions, and the US government faces many tradeoffs and conflicting interests. . . .
Third, democratic theory argues for the Front-Page Rule. Secret intelligence action is always hard to square with democratic rule, but the tensions are less poignant when the intelligence action takes place outside the homeland against non-Americans. Secret intelligence actions in the homeland and against US persons abroad are especially hard to square when the American public has no inkling, based on public law, that the intelligence effort is being undertaken (and in fact might plausibly think that the collection is unlawful). . . .
Goldsmith goes on to highlight some changes in approach to US policy that he believes this outlook suggests. You can read his full post here.

Much like his fellow doomsday prophet Glenn Beck, televangelist Jim Bakker regularly dedicates segments of his show to selling survivalist food supplies while warning of the country's imminent peril. Last week, Bakker discussed the Ebola outbreak and other possible calamities, including a collapse of the electrical grid. Bakker said that while "90-some percent of all Americans will be dead in less than a year" if such a breakdown occurs, you and your family will be secure if you take advantage of his special "time of trouble" offer to purchase packages containing...

Anti-gay activist Stacy Swimp, a Michigan pastor, claimed last month that a Supreme Court ruling legalizing marriage equality throughout the country would bring America into the biblical Last Days. If the Supreme Court were to issue a favorable marriage equality ruling, Swimp told Cleveland anti-gay activist Molly Smith in a September 23 interview, "I see America looking like what Jesus said the world looking like. He said, 'As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when the Son returns.'" "You see," he continued, "in Noah's day, you had... MORE

Michele Bachmann has big plans for her career after Congress, and apparently that includes "looking to burnish her credentials as a foreign policy expert." As Politico reports today, the retiring Minnesota congressman is working with Rick Santorum and Tony Perkins in hopes of becoming "a female conservative foil" to Hillary Clinton. The divisive four-term congresswoman is leaving Capitol Hill in January, but she has no intention of fading into post-congressional irrelevance. Instead, the Minnesota Republican is fiercely courting media and speaking opportunities,... MORE

Cahn's theories are based on the idea that major world events occur on "Shemitah" years, which fall every seven years on the Hebrew calendar, and are either positive or negative depending on God's opinion of a nation at any given...

On yesterday's edition of "Trunews," Rick Wiles spoke to televangelist Irvin Baxter about America's role in the End Times war which, according to Baxter, will "kill one-third of mankind." Wiles, however, took issue with Baxter's claim that Russia will join the "kingdom of the Antichrist," which comes as no surprise since Wiles is a big fan of Vladimir Putin. In fact, he has his own idea for which country will lead the Antichrist kingdom: the United States. "The country that's acting like it's part of the kingdom of the... MORE

On Tuesday, VCY America's "Crosstalk" hosted End Times prophet Ed Hindson to discuss the impact of the End Times and the Rapture on the United States. "The United States would be incredibly impacted by the Rapture because there are more professing Christians here than perhaps any other place on the planet," Hindson predicted.

End Times broadcaster Rick Wiles said during Tuesday's broadcast that "Trunews" will go off the air in order to let Wiles launch a new radio show, which sounds a lot like "Trunews." Wiles said "the American public has checked out of reality" and failed to stop President Obama — "the communist traitor in the White House who is openly helping jihadist"— in his quest to establish a "dictatorship" and "defile the military with sodomy." "He has ended the Constitution and yet nobody is doing anything... MORE

Bruins to face Red Wings in first round
|04.12.14 at 9:36 pm ET
The Blue Jackets defeated the Panthers Saturday night, securing that they can finish no lower than the first wild card spot and locking the Red Wings into the second wild card spot. As such, the top-seeded Bruins will play the Red Wings in the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Red Wings, who have made the playoffs in 23 straight games, are the most difficult matchup of the teams the B's might have faced in the first round (with the Blue Jackets and Flyers being the others). Detroit is the only team that has beaten Boston three times in regulation this season, as the B's went 1-3-0 against the Wings this season.
The series is expected to begin Thursday at TD Garden. It's likely that Game 2 would then be Saturday or Sunday before the series shifts to Detroit for Games 3 and 4.
This marks the eighth time the Bruins and Red Wings in the postseason, though you probably don't remember the most recent meeting. That came back in 1957, when the Bruins beat Detroit in the semifinals in five games.
The series will also feature a pair of siblings clashing, as Bruins forward Reilly Smith will play against his brother, Red Wings defenseman Brendan Smith.
The Lightning and Canadiens will face one another in the first round, with the winner of the Boston-Detroit series facing the winner of that series.

Detectives searching for Ellenton robbers
Date: August 12, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
A 14-year-old girl is safe after at least two armed males broke into her Ellenton home.
According to Manatee County Sheriff's Office reports, at about 11:51 p.m., Aug. 11, deputies responded to the home in the 5900 block of Willows Bridge Loop, in Covered Bridge Estates, after receiving a 911 call from the victim stating that someone was in the house.
Responding deputies saw two to three males fleeing from the rear of the residence. The suspects got into a maroon Dodge Neon. One of the deputies ran toward the vehicle and ordered the occupants to show their hands. At that time, the driver started the vehicle and fled in reverse at a high rate of speed. The vehicle continued driving backward for about 75 feet before losing control and driving between two houses. The driver struck the utility meter and the side of one of the homes before coming to rest on top of the A/C condenser.
The occupants fled the vehicle. K-9 and the watch unit were utilized but yielded negative results. In plain view on the driver's side floor board was what appeared to be a Mac-11 firearm, the report said.
The residence where the robbery took place was ransacked, and it appeared entry was made by prying the rear bathroom door open. After conducting an interview with the victim, it was determined she was inside of the residence when she heard someone trying to get into the house. She got her phone, hid in the bathroom and called 911. She then heard the suspects inside the residence. One of the suspects was able to get into the locked bathroom and locate her hiding in the shower. He asked her where the money was and also asked her who she called. She told him that she called her mom. Shortly after both suspects fled the house. The victim was not injured during the incident.

- Pretty frightening and, unfortunately, the first of many we will see as the economy starts to deteriorate.
What we DON'T know is if the parents had any drug ties that would have lead the men to the house in the first place. It seems unlikely that they would have gone "armed for bear" on a normal home invasion UNLESS they suspected the owner would resist.

Report: Braylon Edwards To Sign With Jets In Time For Training Camp

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Pending a physical, wide receiver Braylon Edwards will be suiting back up for the Jets in time for training camp, sources told the New York Daily News.
The eight-year veteran played in ten games for the Seattle Seahawks last season before being waived from the team. Gang Green picked up the former Michigan Wolverine off waivers and he would start in three games, catching 10 passes for 125 yards.
Edwards, 30, will provide a much needed offensive weapon for whoever head coach Rex Ryan decides to start at quarterback. And with Santonio Holmes being placed on the PUP list on Tuesday, relief could not come any quicker.
The Jets will have their first training camp practice in Cortland, N.Y. on Friday.
