The California Construction Trucking Association has filed a notice of appeal with the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. It's the latest in a two-year legal battle against the California Air Resource Board's heavy-duty, on-road truck and bus regulations. The CARB diesel engine regulation will force the replacement of most diesel-powered commercial motor vehicles that don't meet 2010 US Environmental Protection Agency standards in order to operate in the state.

Wherever you weigh in on the peak oil debate, most Americans tend to agree that less foreign oil is in our best interests. The problem, of course, is that we can't make all the oil we need: 21 million barrels per day, give or take. We have a capacity of about 5 million barrels per day in the U.S., so the remainder comes in through Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Venezuela.

Warning: Don't try this! The safest distance to drive behind a big rig at 55 miles per hour is 150 feet. Driving any closer is insane because it puts you in the driver's blind spot and also does not give you enough time to respond if the big rig's driver changes speed.

Overclocker - the user, causing your PC to work at full capacity.
This improvement significantly reduces the service life.
Do not save even the use of a cooling system.
Overclocker - people overestimate the frequencyCPU is several times higher than its capacity on the passport. "Accelerate" machine can be due to the increase of the applied voltage, memory frequency or tire and install new drivers.
; Need for overclocking appears then,when bought a few years ago the machine becomes obsolete, and replace it with a new desire and is not possible. And then overclocker artificially improves the performance of your PC.
What types of "acceleration"
; When the factory as all the necessary accessoriesmanufacturer produces very little raising their parameters. The user provides acceleration action only the overclocker. It all will depend on already on the user's capabilities and desires. He can choose the minimum settings that are responsible for acceleration, or stop an automatic overclocking, through softinu BIOS or motherboard. Such acceleration involves an increase in the frequency of system bus without changing the other settings.
; With a reasonable method by significantlyincreases clock speeds before reaching the limit values. This machine can work for a long time in this mode, and not stopping. To realize the desires in life can be used as the BIOS, and software techniques. And you can, without further ado, armed with a soldering iron and change the frequency of the clock multipliers secondary devices accelerates together with the bus, CPU voltage, its architecture and special parameters specific chipset. In addition, the change in frequency can be subjected to the RAM, depending on the system bus, and timings. Often, the resulting "oven" requires reliable cooling system.
; In the extreme form of acceleration overclockerincreases the parameters of the computer to the transcendent values. Here, without the cooling system does not do exactly. For this purpose, use freon cooling liquid vacuum, liquid helium, liquid nitrogen, cascade systems, and others. But even that will not save the car from the need to replace of burning iron.
The downside
; This technical improvement requiresincreasing the voltage. Coupled with the rise in temperature reduces the life of the PC is directly proportional to an overestimation. Therefore, after a few years of such work will have to buy a new computer.

Local, site-specific characteristics largely control the transmission dynamics of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). Arboviruses, in turn, adapt to local conditions, maximizing their potential to perpetuate and emerge as health threats. The adaptive potential of arboviruses is driven by error-prone replication, which creates a genetically diverse pool of competing virus genotypes within each host. This application examines the influence of three important characteristics of any given transmission focus on viral genetic diversity;and how genetic diversity influences host-virus interactions. Our previous research has allowed us to make very clear predictions about each of the three examined characteristics. The frequency of contact between mosquitoes and vertebrates varies in time and space.
Aim 1 will determine how the frequency of this contact influences the genetic diversity of West Nile virus (WNV) using a laboratory model transmission cycle. We predict that shorter incubation in mosquitoes allows maintenance of viral genetic diversity and high fitness. A second critical characteristic of a transmission focus is the mosquito species involved in virus transmission.
Aim 2 will therefore assess how important vector mosquitoes differ in their ability to respond to WNV infection through RNA interference (RNAi) and thus drive virus diversification. Field-collected and colonized Culex (main) and Aedes (secondary) mosquitoes will be assessed. We predict that significant variation in RNAi activation will be detected within and between mosquito species, and that this variation will be associated with virus genetic diversity and altered vector competence. A third critical characteristic of a WNV transmission focus is the bird species involved in virus amplification.
Aim 3, accordingly, will evaluate how crows, sparrows and robins shape WNV populations. Virus will be passed in each of these birds and genetic diversity and fitness assessed. We will also use these birds to measure the replicative fitness of different existing WNV strains and populations. We predict that wild birds exert strong purifying selection on WNV populations and that genetic diversity of the virus contributes little to its fitness in birs, but that bird infection may select for novel WNV genotypes. The significance of this work is that it will provide novel data the mechanisms that underpin the emergence of RNA viruses as health threats. The proposed research is conceptually innovative because it links the ecology of WNV transmission foci with virus adaptive plasticity. It is technically innovative because it uses uniqe methods for measuring virus fitness among relevant hosts in vivo and through its use of deep sequencing. Ultimately we seek to define the conditions that favor the emergence of novel virus genotypes.
This renewal aims to assess mechanisms that control WNV genetic diversity in the context of natural transmission cycles. Specifically, these studies will show how the intensity of transmission in a given focus influences the emergence of novel viral genotypes, and how important mosquitoes and birds differ in their propensity to drive virus evolution. Proposed studies are focused on WNV which is a significant and still- emerging health threat in the US, but will provide important data on how flaviviruses interact with their hosts to persist in nature and emerge as health problems.

Filtering at startup, in about:home requires the add-on manager code, and that requires SQLite access.
We could pre-filter the JSON when we save the file and when we add/remove an add-on. Those happen much less often than startup.
(Thanks Dietrich and Mossop for the idea)
Note to others: We store the recommended add-ons in a JSON file so we can display them in the startup page. We filter the list to remove any add-ons you already have installed.
You could cache the unfiltered and filtered lists. On startup call AddonManager.getStartupChanges for STARTUP_CHANGE_INSTALLED and STARTUP_CHANGE_UNINSTALLED. If either returns a non-empty array then the set of installed add-ons has changed so you can re-request the list of add-ons and filter again (in this case the sqlite DB will already have been loaded).

Checking for these doesn't seem to catch restartless addons
Created attachment 565561 [details] [diff] [review]
This patch makes a few changes to the way we use the recommended add-ons cache:
* Avoids using AddonManager to filter the cache, which avoids causing the add-ons SQLite DB from being opened during the start page activity.
* Filters the cache when fetching it
* Reduces the size of the raw cache file by only storing data fields we actuall (or might actually) use. This reduces my cache from 8.2KB to 654B, making it faster to save and load.
* Forces a cache refresh whenever an add-on is installed. We could do it for uninstalling add-ons too, but this seem like less of a priority.

Review of attachment 565561 [details] [diff] [review]:
Cool. Sorry for the delay. Just had to dig through and remember what's going on here.
Just to note, this will only prevent us from hitting the AddonsManager when we already have a cache. If you install an addon or if its first run, or the cache was deleted for some other reason, we'll still have to initialize the list. I half wonder if we'd be better to avoid it on firstrun as well, when we may have to create databases?

This change is not a 1-liner, but it is simple. It moves code to filter a list of add-ons read from disk on the home screen to the place where we save the list of add-ons to disk.
This reduces the amount of work done at startup and avoids opening the AddonManager SQLite DB during startup.

The musical's premiere on Broadway was in October 1972. Until June 1977, were played 1944 performances. Choreography was by B. Fosse. The main roles played in the production by: J. Rubinstein, C. Chadman, B. Vereen, E. Berry, L. Palmer, I. Ryan & J. Clayburgh.
With the start of performance, in the press periodically appeared reviews from critics, particularly in The New York Times, where an article was published that called rock music in this piece as invertebrate and not connected with the action. However, it was marked that a few rock ballads would remain in people's minds for a long time.
On television was launched a 60-second ad of this histrionics, which had cast of members of the troupe – B. Vereen, C. Brown & P. Sousa. In 1996, the theater critic S. Miller noted that director B. Fosse conceived his offspring as a surreal work, but in practice, it turned out that 'Pippin' was somewhat similar to an amateur performance, earning a reputation of cute & mischievous play. Over the years, the main roles were played by N. J. Calloway, S. E. Wright, B. Harney, M. Rupert, B. Buckley, D. Pitchford, P. Lopez & D. Stickney.
In addition to Broadway, the show also experienced the success in London (in Her Majesty's Theatre), LA, Kansas city. In 2013, on Broadway started rehearsals with the new composition of the acting troupe, and try-out in Music Box Theatre has collected a full house. In the same year, the musical was nominated for 10 Tony Awards, of which 4 brought victory: for best revival, for Best Actress, best Actor, and Best Director.
Release date: 1972

Here's the full video of President Obama's speech on gun violence after his decision to use Executive Action to try and tighten the gun show loophole.
I've heard a lot of talk about it, but after watching the entire speech I don't know how anyone can be so dismissive. If you happened to shrug your shoulders, focused on the President getting choked up and crying instead of listening to the substance of his words, or even mocked him and assumed it was staged, I can't help but think you're a shallow, callous human being and possibly a sociopath.

Robert Lewis Dear Is A Terrorist
Posted by Armadillo Joe
Terrorism (according to the FBI): "the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives."
I can't say for certain who Robert Lewis Dear might be in his heart, nor what he might think or truly believe nor can I really know how he got there, though I can guess. Fact is, I don't care. Robert Lewis Dear is a terrorist. The undisputed facts are that he is white and male and had easy access to large, powerful guns with which he sought to impose the death penalty on women exercising their legal right to control the reproductive functions of their own bodies, the skilled personnel providing the services that facilitate that exercise and a sworn officer of the law who fulfilled his duty to protect that exercise. He was also subsequently captured alive by the constabulary. I could not help but notice that he is not Syrian nor even Middle Eastern. He is also not African-American. I also noticed that he is still currently alive, even after murdering three people (including a cop), injuring at least ten others and standing-off with police for several hours with hostages.
How he chose his target is not a mystery, or at least it shouldn't be to anyone paying attention to the opportunistic maneuvers of craven politicians desperately groping around for a wedge-issue to gin up votes from an angry electorate. It is the very bloody real world result of the cynical demonization of the Planned Parenthood organization by the Republican Party's wing-nut brigade, the conniving GOP leadership who enable them and a cowardly media who steadfastly refuse to use the word "fake" to describe a fake video because the provocateurs who made it can summon the ire of the stupid, the deluded and the corrupt to make cower the politicians who have staked their political fortunes on garnering the votes of the people who fervently believe the video is real despite all evidence to the contrary.
So many explosive issues are wrapped up in this event that any attempt to analyze it from any viewpoint will run smack-dab into something that will offend the other side, so let me just boil it all down to this: Robert Lewis Dear is a terrorist. He is not a lone wolf. He is not an isolated incident. His violence did not mysteriously drop out of a clear-blue sky. Just like other bursts of mass-violence such as Columbine or Aurora (or Charleston or Sandy Hook) this did not happen in a vacuum. I'm talking about context. I'm talking about the before, the during and the after.
Before: the socio-political space within which this man got revved-up enough to murder his fellow citizens in cold blood in broad daylight and was able to freely equip himself to that purpose, encouraged by a political party that has surrendered its duty to lead for the need to provoke, while the NRA will remain his unindicted co-conspirator for making it safe to manufacture ever more efficient death machines, market them to paranoids and crazies and sell them to whoever might feel the need or urge to inflict violence on some living thing, hopefully not human (wink-wink), and a cowardly media who have consistently failed to call his predecessors terrorists because a not-small segment of the American populace, a violent and armed segment, happens to largely sympathize with the underlying motives
During: his targets, that building, those people. Not random at all but instead utterly, depressingly predictable.
After: the segment of the population applauding his actions or blaming his victims or cheerfully explaining how the horrifying details are somehow kinda sorta understandable and how Robert Lewis Dear is somehow kinda sorta sympathetic and NOT at all a terrorist because he is white and male and American because terrorism is something THOSE people do. And, eventually, the truthers who will fight their cognitive dissonance by either deciding Robert Lewis Dear is an actual American hero doing what wimpy politicians have failed to do or, like Sandy Hook, eventually denying the truth of it at all, instead concocting an elaborate false-flag conspiracy theory to absolve their consciences of adjudicating such weighty moral choices. Easier by far to imbue your enemy with malevolent omnipotence to explain the gap between professed beliefs and worldly choices.
Robert Lewis Dear is a terrorist. He is as much a terrorist as the men who flew planes into buildings on 9/11. If you disagree, we have nothing to talk about.

Everything Isn't Always About Us
But here is the irony, here's the thing that all the angry Black people know, and no calmly debating White people want to admit: The entire discussion of race in America centers around the protection of White feelings. From I Don't Discuss Racism with White People by John Metta.
I've been working on this post for a couple of weeks now, ever since I read John Metta's piece, which I thought was spot on. As I so often do when I'm writing, I struggled with this piece and would put it aside for a day or two. I discussed my observations with friends, both black and white, because I needed their feedback. Finally, because of events that occurred this last week, my thoughts really crystalized, and I was able to finish. My words will certainly make some angry and defensive, which isn't my purpose but is always a byproduct of a piece like this. My hope is some will have an "aha moment," a moment of clarity about our role, or if we even have one, in the Black Lives Matter movement. The fact is, folks, the movement isn't about us, our feelings, criticisms, or advice. The sooner we understand that, the sooner we can be honest participants in BLM.
My sense is that many white liberals and progressives are just so tired of all this Blackness stuff. Sure we loved Pres. Obama, but it's time for him to move on. His whole hope-change thingy was so stressful, and he seems like he's going to do that change stuff till his last day. We need a break. We need to gear up for the next Great White Hope.
We've had enough of black folks' grievances. We are weary of all their issues. We want to go back to saying 95% of cops are good people so we can dismiss the few as rotten apples. Just get rid of a few rotten apples and all will be well. You see if the problem is just good cops versus bad cops, then we don't have to acknowledge the pervasive racism that is imbedded in America's justice system. Getting rid of some bad cops isn't on us. It's on someone else. By reducing the problem to some bad cops, it becomes manageable for someone else.
We want to share stories of good cops because of our insatiable need to be fair. We don't want anyone to think we don't appreciate police men and women. We make sure we couch our words carefully so we don't offend anyone. Although we won't say it aloud or post it on social media, we think to ourselves that had Sandra Bland gotten out of the car or put out her cigarette, she'd be alive today. If Walter Scott hadn't run or Eric Garner had not resisted arrest, they, too, would be alive. We might post an article or two about the victims, but then we move on. Arguing with our friends about the death of Michael Brown or Freddy Gray is tedious and sometimes painful so we're not going to make an issue over these deaths.
Then that evil dentist shot Cecil the Lion, which allowed us to shift our energy and passion from Sandra Bland to Cecil. We went after that dentist like a heat-seeking missile and apparently destroyed him. Believe me, there were hundreds of tweets more about Cecil than Sandra Bland, yet we were offended when black tweeps changed their avatars to lions, especially the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz, and Elon James changed his Twitter name to Elion. We were crushed that Black Twitter poked fun at us and the media by creating a criminal record for Cecil, such as when he was a juvenile, he stalked and killed a baby wildebeest. We didn't think that was amusing. In fact, we got down right defensive and let our critics know "we could care about more than one cause at a time."
But you want to know what really pissed us off? When Black Lives Matter interrupted Bernie Sanders at Netroots Nation and then Seattle. We were baffled. Bernie is on y'all's side we said. We knew black folks must be ignorant about Sanders's history as a civil rights activist. As a matter of fact, we told black folks that once they educated themselves about Bernie, they would support him. Why we even assured black folks that if they supported him, he would help them "rise out of the ghetto." Only sometimes we were confused and said the "hood." But black folks weren't having it--this nonsense from us. The most loyal, politically astute demographic within the Democratic Party knew all about Bernie. They knew he had no position on racial injustice; in fact, he had been tone deaf on the issue. They had heard him repeatedly call Pres. Obama a spineless coward and urge Democrats to primary the President of the United States in 2012. They knew his responses to the killings of their black brothers and sisters were tepid at best. They knew he had declared racism over with the election of Barack Obama. He even said he was happy for black voters, who finally got themselves a president.
We were shocked, I tell you, shocked when Black Lives Matter activist interrupted Sanders in Seattle of all places. Seattle, that bastion of liberalism and progressivism, has a police department investigated and castigated by the DOJ for its racist tactics. Seattle has a school system where 15 % of black and Native American students have been suspended at least once compared to 3% of white students. A Black child in elementary school is 5 times more likely to be suspended than a white child.
Sanders wanted to talk about Social Security and Medicare to his predominantly white crowd. However, for some inexplicable reason we just couldn't fathom, Seattle resident Marissa Johnson disrupted Bernie's speech to talk about racism in her city, a liberal Mecca where racism is rampant within its institutions and allowed to to flourish because whites folks ignore it. So again we brought all of our self-righteous indignation to bare and denounced the protestors instead of looking at our own culpability or responsibility. We shouted for the cops to taser and arrest them. We told them they would lose our support. In other words, we would no longer tweet or post on Facebook our support for "you people." We again reminded them that Bernie had marched with Martin Luther King Jr. 50 years ago. The very same MLK Jr. who wrote from his Birmingham jail cell:
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Councilor or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice.
Just replace "moderate" with liberal or progressive.
We wrote blog posts and articles praising ourselves for being colorblind while telling black folks when and how they should protest. We warned them that they were hurting their cause, a cause that surely should be our cause too. We assured them that racism would disappear when Sanders ushers in his economic utopia. We urged them to behave and be quiet until we told them it was their turn to speak. We acted like the activists were cutting in a junior high cafeteria line, not fighting for their very lives, much less justice.
We are frustrated that black folks don't understand we need to get those bankers who so grievously offended us in jail before we can deal with a justice system that has been destroying black lives for hundreds of years. We need for you black folks to understand that we are all for civil disobedience, just not in our territory. We honor MLK Jr, Thoreau, and Ghandi. In fact, we revere MLK Jr so much, we bestow his courage onto just about any white risk-taker, even if the risks pale beside the ones King took.
We can't understand why Bernie's activism 50 years ago shouldn't excuse his inactivity for the last 50 years. Sure he, like every other Liberal in congress, has voted for civil rights laws while paying lip service to unspeakable injustices suffered by black folks. We don't understand why you black folks don't feel a sense of indebtedness and gratitude toward Bernie although both he and we have forgotten MLK Jr.'s admonition about "the urgency of now."
As a friend told me once, "We black folks are the experts on white machinations. We've seen it all before. You think we haven't heard "wait your turn," or "you'll hurt your cause" before? We've heard and seen it all. Liberals think a position paper should mean something to us. They think appointing a black woman as press secretary means something to us. You think we are fooled by a black shield.
What we know is this. We weren't invited to be on his staff. Hell, we weren't even invited to his table. We see whites feed off each other's privilege, which is the status quo. We see white progressives as part of and supportive of the status quo."
Suddenly we white folks are concerned about the manners of the black activists as we sit at our computers or with phone or tablet in hand offering criticism, which, of course, is for their own good. White bloggers and pundits, along with most of us social media types, have weighed in with our critiques of the behavior of Black Lives Matter activists. Some of us go so far as to search out quotes by black bloggers and pundits critical of BLM, even though we never cared before about their opinions.
I'll offer my advice, for what it's worth. White folks, don't get your feelings hurt because all you ever see are videos or articles about bad cops committing horrific acts. Don't say 95% of cops are good guys and gals. BLM isn't about good vs bad cops, in my opinion. The movement is trying to change a corrupt and incestuous justice system that hires, harbors, and protects racists at the cost of black lives. A system that we white folks may not have actively put into place or nurtured, but we've helped it thrive by our apathy and inaction. And it's not just the justice system either. Racism thrives in educational and banking and housing institutions along with every other part of American society.
Settle down. Calm down. Black Lives Matter isn't about your feelings or my feelings. So what if Black Twitter poked fun at us for our Cecil love. Save your indignation for the institutions that oppress minorities. We have no right to criticize the BLM activists when we enable the very institutions that oppress them. So what if they rudely disrupted Bernie Sanders. If he can't handle that, he has no business running for President. And whatever you do, don't tell black folks you won't support their cause if they don't do such and such. You know why? Because we are not supporting their cause. We are watching from the sidelines.
And please remember that we have the privilege of being normal. Walking down a street, driving a car, and going shopping without being harassed or worse. Our kids are likely to graduate from school without a mark on their record. We can live any place we can afford; in fact, a lot us don't even know what red lining means. We don't have to teach our children how to avoid getting shot by a government agent. It's highly unlikely our 15 and 16 year olds will be thrown into and left in a prison like Rikers for years without charges ever being filed. White privilege is getting to be normal. My guess is that's what black folks would like, too--just to have the privilege of normalcy.

Stop Tolerating Racism
To my Twitter & Facebook friends.
If you're posting kitty & puppy videos instead of denouncing racism & your racist friends & family on Facebook, you're no better. If you don't have the guts to stand up to racists around you, you are a pathetic enabler of the hate in this country. If you support a Republican then you support systemic racism & the oppression of People of Color. If you deny that, I call bullshit on you. And I'll call you worse.
Shame on you for enabling the ugly hate in this country. If you say you want your country back, fuck you. This hate you see is your fucking country. And don't you dare say Pres Obama is divisive. No, it's you! You are divisive because you allow the hate to grow & you look the other way. Then you preach God's love & Jesus this and that. Fuck you. Just fuck you.
If I've offended you, you need to be offended. You offend me.

Dedicated to @Politixfireball and @NMPolJournal
I grew up in a liberal home, one where racial epithets were forbidden and people were not judged by race, culture, or ethnicity. I watched in horror and anguish as the civil rights marches and protests of the 1960's unfolded on our television. In 1961 I rode a Greyhound bus with my grandmother to Shreveport, LA to see her sister, and it was there I saw the systemic racism that ran through America at the time--colored restrooms and drinking fountains in the department stores and segregated seating in restaurants. I was only 13 then, but I knew something was terribly wrong. When I got home, my parents educated me about racism and oppression in America. It is that background that shaped who I am and became ingrained in my soul.
There has always been a fire smoldering in my heart at the profound injustices in this country. During my years in college and career as a teacher those embers exploded into flames of fury at injustices, whether against me or my students. I certainly faced plenty of sexist treatment, both financial and professional. I saw my minority and poor students discriminated against with unfair policies and bigoted administrators and teachers. During those times I often raged against administrators and school boards. I led protests and work slow downs on behalf of students and teachers. I was not shy about speaking truth to power. And I often suffered for it, but I was not to be deterred. I left more than one position because I refused to sell my soul for a job.
After I retired I ran and won a position on a school board where I continued to fight for the disadvantaged and oppressed students. I was not popular. I served on various boards that oversaw services to victimized children and the mentally ill. I give both time and money to local charities, and I've always been involved in politics.
By now you may be thinking so what and I wouldn't blame you. But there is a reason I'm putting myself out there. I am not giving my enemies any ammunition or allowing them to define me.
When Anthony Weiner was tweeting his junk, he did so under the name of Carlos Danger. To mock him several of my twitter buddies changed their names to Emilio Peril and Rodney Danger to name two of many clever handles. Although I didn't see any women changing their names, I wanted to join in and change mine. I became Maria Meanmuthafukah. I loved Maria, my alter ego. She could get away with all kinds of obnoxious behaviors and tweeps loved her, especially since they knew the grandmother behind her creation. She was an outlet for the intense anger I often felt, and she sometimes spewed vitriol I would never use in "real life." There were even times I was scolded by long time tweeps for engaging in battles with right wingers.
Twitter has been the perfect vehicle for the rage I feel. The rage against Republicans whom I loathe, the rage over the injustices against people of color, women, and children. I am sick of the fucking evil that floats above and permeates every aspect of American life. My mistake on twitter was giving out too much information about myself and my family. I let the joy and pride in my grandkids cloud my judgment. I became vulnerable.
So the other day when an idiot tweeted delight in our rail system being cut simply because it was Bill Richardson's idea, I was enraged. I called him a stupid fuck because he is. I am enraged that Republicans are hell bent in destroying any progress we are making because it's made under the leadership of Barrack Obama. Here was a clown thrilled because a progressive idea was coming to an end because our former governor was the creator. Then @Politixfireball jumped into the thread, and I called her the racist piece of shit she is. But then I did something dumb. I challenged her to out me because she has a history of doing that. I knew she was fanatical about outing @AngryNMTeacher to the point of targeting and harassing the wrong teacher.
Politixfireball and NMPolJournal didn't waste time outing me on twitter and Facebook, including tweeting pictures of my grandkids. I admit I panicked, afraid for my family and what damage these sick people could or would do to them. I closed my twitter account and my Facebook page. I opened a new twitter account and started rebuilding my twitter life. Then today I realized no one is going to intimidate me. My life is here in this state--five generations of my life. I have devoted my life to the children of this state, some of the poorest in the country. I will not let sick creeps silence me--not some former state senator from Hagerman, NM, a town of less than 1200 residents, who believes Pres. Obama is ushering Sharia Law into our lives, or some New Mexico GOP operative who thinks Pres. Obama is a modern day Hitler or jokes that during the Holocaust "Jews went up in smoke." No way.
So you can bring it, Rebekah Stevens or @politixfireball or Rod Adair @NMPolJournal. You are despicable trash only worthy of loathing. You have never performed one noble act in your lives. In fact, you work to destroy lives. You represent the worst this country has to offer, but you are soon to be an anachronism, an extinct species. And you know why? Because you are devoid of any humanity, compassion or empathy. You hide behind the Cross of Christianity, but you act out the most despicable behaviors in the Old Testament. You are an anathema to the ideals of this country;you are the caretakers of the worst, most evil behaviors throughout the history of America.
Maybe not the next election or the one after that, but in the near future your kind will be powerless. You will be reduced to impotent, powerless shadows, whimpering and whining and groveling. And I can hardly wait to see your political destruction.

Yelling Is Not Governance, Senator Warren
I've never seen a Democrat fundraise off a sitting President before, especially one who has distorted facts as blatantly and dishonestly as Warren has. Just mind boggling to me especially since congress is continually being briefed and given summaries. Then when pressed Warren admits she has seen summaries, but she can't talk about it. Really? All she's been doing is talking about it. And yet people are quoting her, saying no one can talk about it. How can you miss the irony?
This is what makes want a cigarette. Liberals accuse conservatives of being averse to facts, but then they go off deep end whenever one of our own prophets of doom starts fear mongering. If Warren or Sanders says it, it must be true so why do any research. Sanders has been dead wrong plenty of times, but liberals still light their hair on fire and each other's hair on fire every time he tells us the sky is falling.
This is the same crowd, mostly white, who is declaring AG Holder didn't accomplish anything because no bankers are in jail. Evidently, rebuilding the DOJ from the ground up is nothing. Rebuilding a completely dismantled civil rights division is nothing. Getting record-breaking settlements from financial institutions is nothing. You get the idea? In white unicorn fantasyland fighting for the civil rights of minorities is nothing. And doing it while being vilified by the Congress of the United States is nothing. So thanks for nothing, Eric Holder. And take your do nothing buddy, Barrack Obama with you.
You know the guy who can't be trusted to tell us the truth. The guy who is always caving but isn't really. The guy Bernie Sanders repeatedly told to grow a backbone. You know, Bernie, the guy who voted to keep Gitmo open, but when liberals scream, "it's Obama's fault!" doesn't have the balls to defend the President. Yeah, that guy. Bernie, the guy who told us Pres. Obama was going to destroy SS and ya'll lit your hair on fire. But some of us just waited patiently, blocking out the cacophony, for the outcome because we knew PBO was just messing with Boehner. Remember when after one negotiation, which was in secret by the way, Boehner crowed "we got 98% of what we wanted," and newspapers declared OBAMA GOT ROLLED! Remember? But wait. A few days later Boehner was blubbering furiously that "we won't get rolled again." And another of your heroes Cenk was belittling and vilifying the President. But then the truth came out and let me refresh that truth for you. When PBO first took office, he had auditors go through all the programs and budgets to find programs that were duplicates or wasteful and unproductive. Those were the programs that were cut during the negotiations. It took Boehner a few days to realize he'd been had, but by then he already looked like the fool he is. But a lot of liberals looked like idiots too, especially the ones with scorched hair.
So again for the fortieth millionth time, ya'll are going at it again. Twitter and Facebook are buried in a heavy cloud of smoke and the stench of burning hair is strong. Occasionally one does get a glimpse of glitter poop from a free range unicorn. And those of us who are asking for calm, rational thinking are called Obamabots and derided for being a blind follower. Hello pot to kettle, come in pot.
Here's the deal. Bloggers at The People's View, The Daily Banter, The Obama Diary, as well as others have painstakingly pointed out the distortions from the Warren/Sanders camp. They've been doing some pretty solid research around TPA & TPP. The summary, which is actually 39 pages, is on the Internet for anyone to access. Warren says it's been conducted in top secret, but Congress has been briefed 1700 times. There will be a lengthy review process for both Congress and the public. And by the way, most negotiations are conducted in secret from Iran deal to union contracts.
But hell no, you who are thinking with your emotions can't wait for the facts. That would be the rational thing to do, but you don't belong to the rational, thinking wing of the party. Nope. You're in love with a freshman senate who has produced very little of substance since being elected. You're so in love with her that you want her to be your President without knowing what her foreign policy would be, or how she would tackle any of the enormous problems we face. You don't even know if she's going to be a good senator. So far all she's proven is she can yell at bankers and while it may make you feel good, that is not governance.

LAPD Cops Shot Ezell Ford in the Back, Autopsy Finds Ford, who suffered from mental illness, was shot three times, including one fatal blast to his back, which left a muzzle imprint, an autopsy concludes. BY: BREANNA EDWARDS Posted: Dec. 30 2014 12:45 PM
Don't ever tell me that there isn't a pattern here. Don't ever tell me that this isn't racism. Don't ever tell me we are all equal in this country. Don't ever tell me all lives matter in this country because black lives do not matter. Just shut up if you have some stupid white person platitude because I'm sick of hearing that bullshit.
An autopsy released by the Los Angeles Police Department details that Ezell Ford, the mentally ill 25-year-old who was killed by police Aug. 11, was shot three times, including once in the back, KABC reports. Two days after Michael Brown's shooting death, Los Angeles police officers were attempting to restrain Ford, who family members said suffered from mental illness but was harmless. The police said the young man resisted arrest, taking one of the officers to the ground, and that while Ford was on top of the officer, he made an attempt to grab the officer's gun. "The officer yelled out to his partner that Mr. Ford had his gun. The officer's partner then fired two rounds, striking Mr. Ford. At about the same time, the officer on the ground, while on his back, grabbed his backup weapon, reached around Mr. Ford and fired one shot at close range striking Mr. Ford in the back," the LAPD said in a statement, according to the news station. No officers were wounded during the incident. According to the autopsy, the fatal shots were the wounds to Ford's back and right abdomen. The wound to his back had a "muzzle imprint," signifying that the shot was indeed taken from close range. Witnesses at the scene that August day have countered police claims, with a few telling reporters that Ford
was facedown on the ground when he was shot. A lawyer for Ford's family, Steve Lerman, has said the fact that the young man was shot in the back is "criminal." "I dare say that this is criminal. I think they executed this poor young man, mentally incompetent man," Lerman told the news station. "Defenseless, harmless, unarmed."
LAPD Cops Shot Ezell Ford in the Back, Autopsy Finds
Ford, who suffered from mental illness, was shot three times, including one fatal blast to his back, which left a muzzle imprint, an autopsy concludes.
Posted: Dec. 30 2014 12:45 PM
An autopsy released by the Los Angeles Police Department details that Ezell Ford, the mentally ill 25-year-old who was killed by police Aug. 11, was shot three times, including once in the back, KABC reports. Two days after Michael Brown's shooting death, Los Angeles police officers were attempting to restrain Ford, who family members said suffered from mental illness but was harmless. The police said the young man resisted arrest, taking one of the officers to the ground, and that while Ford was on top of the officer, he made an attempt to grab the officer's gun. "The officer yelled out to his partner that Mr. Ford had his gun. The officer's partner then fired two rounds, striking Mr. Ford. At about the same time, the officer on the ground, while on his back, grabbed his backup weapon, reached around Mr. Ford and fired one shot at close range striking Mr. Ford in the back," the LAPD said in a statement, according to the news station. No officers were wounded during the incident. According to the autopsy, the fatal shots were the wounds to Ford's back and right abdomen. The wound to his back had a "muzzle imprint," signifying that the shot was indeed taken from close range. Witnesses at the scene that August day have countered police claims, with a few telling reporters that Ford
was facedown on the ground when he was shot. A lawyer for Ford's family, Steve Lerman, has said the fact that the young man was shot in the back is "criminal." "I dare say that this is criminal.

I ate lunch at Sorrento's Pizzeria then watched the "How to Train your Dragon" ice show. Like the Madagascar aqua show, it was very cute and entertaining for both kids and adults. I caught the Belly Flop competition that afternoon in the aqua theatre...very entertaining but painful to watch!
That evening my mother and I attended the Crown & Anchor cocktail party in the Amber theater
Smoked duck salad; Wine: Fairview, Chenin Blanc, Darling South Africa
Soup Trio: butternut squash cream, tomato consomme, lobster-corn bisque; Wine: Louis Jadot, Meursault France
Serrano ham wrapped diver scallops; Wine: Devil's Lair Chardonnay, Margaret River Australia
Roasted milk-fed veal tenderloin; Wine: Charles Krug, Merlot, Napa California
Flourless roasted hazelnut-chocolate; Chilled Frangelico, Hazelnut Liquer
It was an amazing meal and we had a great table with interesting people (especially after four glasses of wine!) At the end of the meal, we were each presented with an autographed cookbook and an apron.
After dinner, I caught part of the Headliner show, then went to Quest, an adult scavenger hunt. Very funny!

December 1, 2012
There are multiple ways to build an NBA championship contender, but in the past year, basketball analysts have closely examined what now might best be described as the "Oklahoma City model." During their steady rise from the bottom of the standings to the 2012 NBA Finals, the Thunder exhibited remarkable patience, methodically constructing a talented roster through the draft. Although Oklahoma City was very fortunate in the draft lottery to pick in the top four for three consecutive years (2007-09), the Thunder also pulled off a rare feat by hitting pay dirt on each pick. It would be extremely difficult to match a three-year draft haul of standouts Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden, but that's what it might take to duplicate OKC's path to NBA prominence.
The Hornets, who host the Thunder on Saturday (7 p.m. in the Hive), would love to someday join OKC in ascending to the elite of the Western Conference, but have used a slightly different approach to fortify their talent base. While New Orleans benefited greatly from landing Anthony Davis with the No. 1 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, Hornets GM Dell Demps has also obtained several young veterans who haven't yet entered their prime. For example, New Orleans' roster includes four players who are in their fifth NBA season, including Ryan Anderson, 24; Eric Gordon, 23; Robin Lopez, 24; and Jason Smith, 26.
The Hornets received an up-close look at how potent the Thunder's attack can be during a Nov. 16 matchup here in the Crescent City. The Thunder piled up 36 points in the first quarter, en route to a 66-37 halftime advantage and eventual 110-95 final margin. Durant and Kevin Martin – the player brought in to essentially replace Harden, who was traded to Houston – both scored 27 points.
Intriguing matchup: New Orleans bench vs. Oklahoma City bench
Behind a superb shooting night from Martin (27 points, 6-for-11 from three-point range), the Thunder's backups blitzed the Hornets on Nov. 16, particularly in the first half. The Hornets fought back in the second half to make the final score more respectable, partly behind bench production from Ryan Anderson (15 points, 3-for-3 three-point shooting) and Roger Mason (11 points, 4-for-7 from field).
Days before the 2012-13 season began, the Thunder traded supersub James Harden to Houston, causing many to believe the departure would negatively impact Oklahoma City's chances of defending its Western Conference crown. In the first month of the campaign, however, the Thunder have barely skipped a beat, winning 12 of their first 16 games. After starting 1-2, Oklahoma City reeled off victories in 11 of the next 13 outings, including a 110-95 triumph in New Orleans on Nov. 16. On paper, the Thunder's schedule has been relatively soft; their most impressive result to date was an OT win against the Clippers on Nov. 21.
What's new
Reserve shooting guard Kevin Martin, who was acquired in the Harden trade with Houston, is off to an outstanding start, as OKC's third-leading scorer at 16 points per game. Martin has always been a feared perimeter marksman, but by connecting on nearly 50 percent of his three-point attempts, he's shooting at a career-best rate. The Hornets received an up-close look at Martin's effectiveness with his new team on Nov. 16, when he poured in 27 points, including six three-pointers. The only other new OKC face receiving notable playing time is backup center Hasheem Thabeet, a former No. 2 overall draft pick. Rookie first-round picks Jeremy Lamb and Perry Jones have only made brief cameos.
Thunder star
Kevin Durant is the NBA's three-time defending scoring champion, a threat to put up 30-plus points on any night. Early in 2012-13, Durant was in a tight race with Kobe Bryant for the league's No. 1 spot. The Texas product also topped the NBA in minutes played and had upped his rebounding average to a career-high level.
On the rise
A defensive force since the day he entered the NBA as a rookie in 2009, 6-foot-10 power forward Serge Ibaka appears to have greatly expanded his offensive game in 2012-13. The native of the Republic of Congo has never averaged double-digit points in his career, but was putting up about 15 points per game through the first month of this season.
Opposing defenses can't focus exclusively on Durant, because Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook is also ranked in the top 10 of the NBA in scoring average. On the surface, Westbrook struggled offensively in New Orleans on Nov. 16 (3-for-11 shooting, 10 points), but he handed out 12 assists.
On the sideline
Former scrappy NBA point guard Scott Brooks is extremely popular among his players and has guided the Thunder from the basement of the standings (23-59 in 2008-09) to the elite echelon of the league (NBA Finals appearance in 2012).
Did you know?
Valuable reserve forward Nick Collison, 32, is the only Thunder player in his 30s. Martin will turn 30 on Feb. 1.

Our server at the Ciao Down Cafe has just placed a little, shallow dish of olive oil and a basket of different types of bread on our table. We're supposed to dip our bread in the olive oil because if there's one thing everyone needs right before dinner, it's some nice oily bread. We would never eat oily bread before dinner at home or tell the kids they can't eat dinner until they finish their oily bread, but restaurants seem to think we want it.
The real reason they serve it is so that you'll have something to do with your hands before the real food arrives – a good idea when you've got a bunch of bored people sitting around a knife-festooned table drinking the local vino.
The bread is free, of course, which means it's not free at all; it means they're charging you more for something else. Why not? If you'll pay $11 for the handmade squash ravioli, you'll probably pay $12 without much squawking. I can usually tell how expensive a restaurant is by how many "free" things they offer:
• A tablecloth: + $3
• A paper tablecloth: + $5
• A candle on the table: + $1
• A flower on the table: + $1
• A menu on the table: + $2
• Lots of children's seats: + $5
• Servers wear T-shirts with logo: + $1
• Servers wear black pants, white cotton shirts, skinny black ties: + $6
• If the restaurant is on a pier or docked boat: + $3
• If that boat plans of moving: + $10
• Visible kitchen: - $4
• In a tourist city in season: + $8
• If the restaurant is on top of a skyscraper: + $15
• If it's on top of a skyscraper and it revolves: + $25
So as you can see, I know my restaurants. I'm just sorry I didn't eat more oily bread before the food arrived. I got three raviolis in the center of a gigantic white-stoneware plate (add $1) with a sprig of rosemary over it (add $1). It looked like a painting (add $1), a real work of art. And it was about as filling as eating a small Picasso, though I'm sure they tasted much better.
I still haven't figured out how trends like dipping bread in olive oil start. One day, no restaurants served olive oil with bread, the next day, it comes with your grilled cheese at the lunch counter at Walgreen's, and McDonald's is trying to figure out a way to turn it into a breakfast sandwich.
Who knew food could be so trendy? What happened to all that stuff we used to eat in the '50s? Chicken a la king used to be one of the fanciest things you could eat. Now, you couldn't serve it in prison without being accused of cruel and unusual punishment. Lobster Newburg, tuna casseroles, ring-mold salads? In one year and out the other.
And when did we start blackening everything? When did we stop blackening everything? My grocery store now has an entire section devoted to peppercorns and salt. There is mustard from every country in the world.
Forty years ago, the most fashionable order in the most fashionable place in town was a large wedge of iceberg lettuce dripping with blue cheese dressing. It screamed sophistication and class. Then it was a starter, now it would be the meal.
The lettuce wedge would be followed by the Surf and Turf, (add $5) or maybe just the Prime Rib. And for dessert, she'll have the Crepe Suzette flambe, and I'll take the Floating Island.
That kind of food (and ordering for the woman) has gone the way of Nehru jackets and Princess phones, replaced by California rolls with chipotle and paninis. The lettuce wedge was replaced by the radicchio decade, followed by the arugula decade and now mixed baby green decade. What's next? Well, I already know. Iceberg lettuce wedge smothered in blue cheese dressing is making a comeback. I know because it came "free" with my three raviolis.

"Sometime I'm so frightened of even the phone that I can't bear the noise it makes, and I have nightmares where the phone is walking up the stairs to strangle me in bed. Now I have an answer-phone which I use on a bad day so there is no chance of me having to talk to a stranger," says 29- year-old Vivian.
She is one of an increasing number of people suffering with social phobia, or extreme shyness. It's a problem that peaks at this time with the pressures of New Year parties, office dos, eating out, and other social occasions.
For millions of people shyness like this is a chronic problem that can wreck lives, ruin any chance of a relationship and even lead to suicide. Some psychologists believe that the problem is increasing as people lose their social skills in an age of telephone-banking, automatic checkouts and tele-working.
"These days you exchange information and not emotions. There is no sentiment, no face-to-face contact, no small talk, and some kids would rather play computer games than play with real live friends,'' says Professor Philip Zimbardo of Stanford University in the US, a leading authority on shyness.
Social phobia is described by the American Psychiatric Association as a pronounced and persistent fear of social or performance situations in which embarrassment may occur, and it estimated there are around two million social phobics in Britain alone. Sufferers experience a range of symptoms that can include mutism and other speech problems, low self-esteem, social anxiety, loneliness, uncontrollable blushing, physical shak- ing, and extreme difficulties in forming relationships.
Nature and nurture, genes as well as social conditioning, are thought to play a part, and one research team working with twins reared apart, found around one in six of the population are born with a predisposition to shyness, although most shyness is thought to be acquired in early childhood.
"Over the past 10 years shyness has been increasing at the rate of around one per cent a year until now it is about 50 per cent which suggests there is something significant happening in our society which is increasing the level of shyness,'' says Zimbardo.
Vivian Birch, whose responses to socially phobic situations include mutism, dizziness and nausea, has tried a number of different therapies to ease her problems. She is currently taking Seroxat for the depression that is an integral part of social phobia for one in three sufferers. The same type of formulation has been described as an anti-shyness pill, and increasing numbers of similar drugs are on the market or in development.
"Since January I have been taking Seroxat. I am finding it very helpful and it has made quite a difference to me. I don't see anything wrong with a drug for social phobia if it gets people to a stage where they can tackle the problem," she says.
Another new treatment for social phobia, computer-based psychological therapy, is being pioneered by The Maudsley Hospital and the Institute of Psychiatry in London.
The computer programme, FearFighter, that Professor Isaac Marks and his team have produced, involves half-a-dozen one-hour sessions which show the patient how to use exposure therapy to confront his or her fear.
"The essence of our programme is about self-treatment. The types of homework that could be set for social phobia might be for them to ask someone the time at a bus stop, or to engage a stranger in conversation for one minute," says Professor Marks.
The Maudsley programme has been used by 90 patients, a third of them social phobics. The results are expected to conclude that it is as successful as face-to-face therapy.
The Maudsley self-care clinic is on 0171 919 3365, and the Phobics Society runs a self-help network, telephone 0161 881 1937.

Be carefull
Nearly cut two fingers off with the table saw today. Lucky just some lost meat. I've never had an accident like this in all the years running power equipment. Please be carefull everyone and remember where your fingers are at all times. I had shut the saw off and as it was slowing down I set a board next to the blade with my fingers in front of the board and outch!:bag:
Stitches??? Hopefully just a band aid.
That stinks.. I was putting side gates back on a trailer the other day.. (these weigh about 150lbs a piece) And like a moron had my hand on the bottom side of it when the gate slid down into place.. Hurt and swelled like crazy but luckily it smashed it in probably the only place it would be hard to break.. The first bend on the tips of your fingers..
