The Left's 40 Year-Long War on Women
The Left demands the unjust, humiliating, dangerous, and bloody practice of abortion on demand continue unabated, because they wish to destroy the very thing that makes women women: their unique ability, as females, to bear children, which, to me, is waging war on women at the ontological level.

13 arrested for taking the demand for the closure of SOA into the streets on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC
Yesterday, human rights activists took to the streets around Capitol Hill in a spirited parade, culminating a week of trainings, workshops, music and lobbying to close the School of the Americas. Police on foot, bicycle, motorcycle and in vehicles prohibited free passage of the march, limiting SOA Watch activists abilities to be heard and seen by Congressional staff. Thirteen were arrested as they tried to lead the march down Independence Avenue in front of the Congressional buildings, but were impeded by dozens of police who blockaded their passage and expression of free speech.

The Mustard Seed and the Leaven
He said therefore, "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches."
And again he said, "To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened." (Luke 13:18-21)
[A]nd many peoples shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. (Isaiah 2:3)

From April 14-17, human rights activists will take their message directly to Washington, DC. Using street theater, marches, lobbying and nonviolent direct action, the SOA Watch movement will tell President Obama and the U.S. Congress to shut down the expensive, scandal-ridden, region-destabilizing, abusive School of the Americas once and for all.

Labour is consulting constitutional and legal experts about fears that David Cameron could try to stay on in Downing Street even if the Conservatives have fewer MPs than Ed Miliband's party after 7 May.
The Labour team is worried that Mr Miliband could emerge from the election with enough votes in the Commons to command a majority with the informal support of the SNP, but that the Tories could then try to exploit the lack of a clear winner to remain in power for at least a month.
Labour already believes the Tories are trying to talk up how powerful the SNP would be in a hung parliament to prop up its own vote in England – and conversely encourage SNP supporters in Scotland.
Jeremy Heywood, the Cabinet Secretary, has made it clear he expects Mr Cameron to stay on as prime minister to provide continuity until it is clear that another party or group of parties can command a majority in the House of Commons.
Mr Cameron is likely to demand Mr Miliband "proves" that he has the support of at least half the MPs, and thereby the right to take over as prime minister, in a Commons vote on the Queen's Speech.
But this is not scheduled to take place until at least four weeks after the election – giving Mr Cameron the chance to try to assemble a working coalition with the Liberal Democrats and the DUP.
Latest polls suggest a Tory/Lib Dem/DUP bloc would have just five fewer seats than a Labour/SNP bloc.
Labour is exploring whether it could remove Mr Cameron earlier by putting down a confidence motion once parliament returns. However, there are disputed interpretations of the Fixed Term Parliaments Act and confusion over whether it would be permissible. A recent analysis of the situation by the Institute for Government, a Whitehall think-tank, concluded that in such a confused parliamentary situation "some degree of ambiguity is inevitable and not all contingencies can be addressed". The most recent discussions about how to proceed if the result is effectively a tie took place in Labour headquarters last week.
Labour aides are worried that Mr Cameron continuing in Downing Street would create the impression that his interim government had legitimacy, increasing the chances of its survival.
But Sir Jeremy is clear that in the case of a hung parliament continuity of government is the most important priority – possibly giving an implicit advantage to Mr Cameron.
He has also told the parties that under no circumstances can the Queen be brought into the political fray. In the event that both parties are claiming the right to govern, the Queen would not intervene by summoning either Mr Cameron or Mr Miliband to be prime minister, since this would be seen as a political choice in the midst of a disputed election.
The prime minister is determined by whichever party leader can win the backing of at least half the MPs in a vote on their agenda for government set out in a Queen's Speech. In practice, this means they must command the support of 323 MPs out of 650 (the Speaker abstains and Sinn Fein does not take up its seats). Currently the Queen's Speech is scheduled for 27 May, meaning a vote is likely at the start of June.
In theory, winning the Queen's Speech vote will be easier for Mr Miliband because he should be able to rely on the support of the SNP, as well as the Greens and Plaid Cymru.
However the absence of a formal post-election pact between the parties means Mr Miliband may be unable to prove this, giving Mr Cameron a window of opportunity to steal the initiative by announcing he is continuing in government.
Mr Cameron and his team would argue Labour could not be certain of the support of parties such as the SNP and use this argument to insist they should be given first chance to hold a Queen's Speech. This would give Mr Cameron the opportunity to try to split Mr Miliband's supporters before the vote and assemble a minority government of his own.
However if Mr Miliband can call a vote of confidence before then – it could open the way for Labour to be given the first chance to put forward a Queen's Speech – which Labour believes it could win.
A Labour spokesman said: "There is only one party that can win a majority. But the Tories are doing as much as they can to talk up the SNP because they know their last and best hope of David Cameron staying in Downing Street is if the SNP takes seats from Labour in Scotland."

Unusual circumstances have mean a Blenheim man has avoided prison or an electronic sentence after admitting a charge of indecent assault of a girl under the age of 12.
In Blenheim District Court yesterday, the 48-year-old man, whose name is suppressed to protect his victim's identity, was sentenced to 18 months' intensive supervision and 160 hours' community work after earlier admitting the charge.
Judge Susan Thomas said it was an unusual case as the charged had initially been laid as a summary charge to reflect the low-level offence, but it then had to be raised to an indictable charge after the man pleaded not guilty and asked to be tried by a jury.
The man had been charged after being caught masturbating as he sat next to the sleeping girl on February 19, Judge Thomas said.
The man has serious mental health issues and had been drinking and smoking cannabis almost daily before the offending, which was his first offence, she said.
An address suggested for the man to serve a home detention or community detention sentence was not suitable, but both the defence and prosecution agreed any sentence needed to be focused on helping the man with his rehabilitation, she said.
Judge Thomas ordered that the man's supervision sentence include alcohol and drug counselling, and any other programme recommended by probation to help prevent him reoffending.
Also appearing in the court yesterday:
Siaosi Tani Tapaevalu was sentenced to nine months' supervision and 140 hours' community work after earlier admitting assaulting a female and breaching a protection order. Judge Thomas said Tapaevalu had punched his wife in the face after an argument over the amount of work she was doing when she went to help him with his work on June 30. Defence lawyer Rennie Gould said the victim had scratched Tapaevalu and he had reacted. Tapaevalu had not been allowed to live with the family since the incident, but his wife wanted the family back together. Judge Thomas said Tapaevalu was to complete anger management counselling.
Shodee Amy Dede Turner, 26, of Renwick, admitted charges of possessing cannabis and drug utensils and was sentenced to nine months' supervision to get drug and alcohol counselling. Police prosecutor Sergeant Mark Lucas said police spotted the drug utensils when they went to Turner's home on an unrelated matter. When they told her they were going to search the house she gave them a cigarette carton containing less than 1 gram of cannabis and admitted the drug and the utensils were hers for her own use, he said.
Defence lawyer Rennie Gould said Turner was a fulltime mother. She had given up smoking cannabis, but accepted she needed some help to stay clean.
Judge Thomas told Turner smoking cannabis at home was the last thing she should be doing if she was looking after her daughter.
Lillian Waitaro Kapo, 54, unemployed, of Witherlea, admitted charges of cultivating a cannabis plant and possessing drug utensils and was ordered to come up for sentence if called within 12 months.
Joseph Eden Clark, 27, of Picton, was disqualified from driving for six months after earlier admitting a charge of dangerous driving. Clark was also convicted and discharged on a charge of recklessly endangering KiwiRail staff after driving on train tracks in Picton in April. Judge Thomas said the sentence could be seen as light, but she had taken into account Clark's commitment to his trade training and his efforts to turn his life around.
Ryan Tristan Morrison, 21, an engineer of Riverlands, admitted a charge of driving in a sustained loss of traction and was disqualified from driving for six months, fined $350 and had his car confiscated.
Mr Lucas said Morrison was with friends who drove to the intersection of Jacksons and Rapaura roads about 10.30pm on October 13 to do "driving displays". The road was wet and visibility was poor, he said. About 11pm, Morrison drove into the intersection and did three 360-degree spins with his lights off, Mr Lucas said.
He was seen by a police officer, but when the officer challenged him he said he had only driven into the intersection turned around and driven back, he said.
Morrison's car was also unregistered and unwarranted and the tyres had been replaced with older, worn tyres, he said.
Judge Thomas said Morrison had been convicted of the same offence last year, but had not learned his lesson.
Jade Alexander Bevan, 20, of Blenheim, admitted charges of wilful damage and assault.
He denied a charge of escaping police custody and was remanded to reappear on December 13.
Joshua Daniel Samuels, 29, a fisherman of Riversdale, admitted smashing the windscreen of a taxi after the driver asked him to get out of the taxi about 1.25am on July 15. Samuels was drunk and had been behaving inappropriately, Mr Lucas said.
Judge Thomas said Samuels' actions had big consequences for the taxi driver and the company that owned the car. She fined Samuels $600 to cover the $362.25 it cost to fix the windscreen and as an emotional harm payment for the driver.
Lloyd Anthony Lambert, 52, a vineyard worker, of Riversdale, admitted shoplifting a $17 bottle of wine from New World supermarket on November 6. He was sentenced to nine months' supervision for alcohol counselling and 60 hours' community work and ordered to pay $17 reparation.
Mathew Robert Neal, 36, a factory hand of Redwoodtown, denied a charge of assaulting a female and was remanded to reappear on December 13.

I present you with the humble folk singer, Robert Plant. If that's not what you know him for, think again. If there's one thing his recent career developments have shown, is that Plant rather does fancy himself a folk singer, and perhaps always has. Even when the singer can't resist unleashing those signature wails, it's still a folk song. Another lifelong signature (and a controversial one) is the habit of giving himself writing credit for rearrangements of songs whose roots aren't lost to time enough to qualify as 'traditional'. This a rearrangement of a Leadbelly song, and it true Robert Plant fashion, the lyrics remain while the shape has been shifted into something quite new. It's American blues taken through space-time to meet English folk tradition, plus some global stuff thrown in. Of course, Anglicizing American blues music beyond all recognition is what pays Plant's castle mortgage. So all this getting 'rootsier' with age isn't exactly a new development; it's an inevitable development.
If I wanted to simplify my musical choices into if-then bytes, I would say that you'd then like Glass Animals if you like Alt-J. Because cryptic, whispery, psychedelic tunes with atmosphere over hooks. But, you know, that's a simplistic way of explaining things. Let's just say, here's another corner of in the psychedelic side of electronic indie music. Glass Animals' first album Zaba was a triumph of sustained atmosphere. Not really the kind of record where individual songs fly out at you, but the kind that you kind of get into the flow of. This song was a single, and it does stand on its own quite well. I also really love the beautiful claymation video.
Pocketful of Golden
In the face of hundred million dollar offers to ride the nostalgia bus, Robert Plant turns his nose up and says that he's just not that bored. Sick burn, Robert! While some people *cough* Jimmy Page *cough* *cough* want to spend their time digging through their own archives, remastering the hits, dusting off old demos, and just generally living in the past, Plant is busy trotting the musical globe with a new set of friends. Maybe Plant's contentious relationship with his old partner and their legacy isn't very graceful and smells like the bickering of an old divorced couple, but his ongoing creative vitality makes up for it. Sure, it's detrimental to the kids not to have both fathers hand-in-hand like they used to be. But I'd rather hear new music than forgotten outtakes from Led Zeppelin III, and Plant has been on a Renaissance tear lately. First he did the big bluegrass excursion with Alison Krauss, then he gathered the band he calls The Sensational Space Shifters for a record that pours together all of the folk music of the world. It's quite satisfying to see him evolve his sound and build on his interests without falling back the damn tropes he helped create. He still likes magic and mythology, and he's still interested in the heroic possibilities of British folk music, and if he's less bombastic about those things, all the better for it. And he still has the looks and bearing of a horse lord, albeit now one who has retired with honors from the Rohirrim.
Pitbull Terrier
Here, a lesson in zef aesthetics. For Die Antwoord music is only part of the story; their personas and visual style make them a complete package. There's some debate as to how real those personas really are. It's a bigger issue back home in South Africa, where some critics have accused Yo-Landi and Ninja of being middle class poseurs, much like white performers in America often get called out for trying to act like they from the hood. But for us viewing audiences here in the States, a lot of the context gets lost, and we don't really care if their zef is the most authentic zef, because it's the only zef we know. You don't need an in-depth cultural history to enjoy what's clearly an image that's heavily dramatized for the stage. Die Antwoord's visual cues are uniquely theirs, from their love of rats and freeky people to their clever takedowns of American hip hop culture. If you didn't get it already, the sleek pimpy fellow getting his throat ripped out at the beginning of the video is a doppelganger of the aggressively mediocre and wildly popular Miami rapper Armando Perez aka Pitbull. Die Antwoord have consistently set themselves against what they call "one big inbred fuck-fest" of a music scene, meaning the endlessly generic, overhyped, overproduced products of the mainstream pop machine. Rap music used to be an outsider culture, but it has been cannibalized by the music industry and turned into another bland mass market product ruled by stereotype and cliche. The same has happened to rave culture and electronic music. Die Antwoord are a rap-rave outfit, drawing inspiration from – and satirizing – both cultures. One of the most enjoyable things about their inventive videos is seeing them send up, invert, and overturn the tired tropes of the standard music video.
Perfect World
Should I call this Ambient Dance Music? Because you could totally dance to Broken Bells, but also most of their music slides by so gently. That's not an insult. A Broken Bells record is a smooth, pleasurable ride. So what if you don't necessarily remember very many moments of it? It may be snarky to say so, but this is music that appears to have been written specifically to be played in restaurants with pastel interiors. Danger Mouse is a smart guy, and I'm sure he's heard of Brian Eno and his concepts of ambiance. Whether or not he intended Broken Bells as a venture into that territory remains unknown, but again, the comparison is not meant to be a putdown. There's nothing wrong with writing music with an eye towards creating a more beatific environment. Honestly, I think that's something the world needs more of. You can say that the world has enough bland indie pop and we need more punk rock, but those things are in no way exclusive.
People Don't Get What They Deserve
A slightly belated tribute to the late legend Sharon Jones. Jones passed away on November 18th, and if nobody has optioned the film rights to her life story yet, someone needs to get on it. (I want Viola Davis on this, ASAP!) Jones' life was truly a success story that couldn't have been better written; she was one of those rare artists whose talents aren't rewarded until well into mid-life. She was in her mid forties when she became one of the founding artists at Daptone Records, and began recording with her band The Dap-Kings. Before that she spent years working as a guard at Rikers Island and other thankless jobs. Even her passing was a twist stranger than fiction – weakened by an ongoing battle with cancer, she suffered a stroke while watching the results of the presidential election. But, though fascinating, Jones' incredible life is not really what her legacy is about. Her legacy is how she near-singlehandedly revived old-school soul and funk music at a time when R'N'B was more 'ratchet and bitches' than 'rhythm and blues'. Neo-soul has become increasingly popular recently, with more interest in classic Motown and a wave of younger artists like Anthony Hamilton and Mayer Hawthorne adapting the style. And it was Sharon Jones who took the form out of the realm of nostalgia and pastiche; making searing authentic soul music for a new generation; reminding us that real soul is never irrelevant.
Add Bombay Bicycle Club to your growing collection of new indie music, though it may disappoint you to learn that they're not really from Bombay. They started out as a fairly generic guitar band, but quickly added a psychedelic dimension and world music influences. I very much like the flow and atmosphere of their last two albums, A Different Kind of Fix and So Long, See You Tomorrow. It seems that they haven't released anything in a couple of years, though that't fairly par for the course today. Since nobody makes money selling albums anymore, most groups have to support their new releases with 18 month long tours and negotiating corporate sponsorships. Therefore, it's no worries if there hasn't been an album since 2014. I'm sure they'll bounce back within the next year or two. In the meantime, there's a pretty strong couple of offerings to get the library started.

Does article marketing still work
March 2, 2017 Digital Strategy, Maketing
Does Article Marketing still work? Or is it dead?
In recent years, we've seen the great shift of consumer interest from traditional forms of marketing to digital ones. Modern consumers now prefer baiting information online than read articles in print, and watch an ad on YouTube than skim through ads on TV and magazines. However, wise marketing professionals know that useful online content is and should be at the core of every business' marketing strategy.
Article marketing employs the use of developing current, helpful and relevant content to engage and gain targeted consumers, all done with the aim of compelling those customers to take action on what the marketer ultimately wants them to do, be it signing up for a newsletter or purchasing a product or service. The end objective here for many of course, is to drive more sales by bypassing the oft-overused traditional ad fluff and instead, distributing content that customers will find useful and worth patronizing.
Content Marketing: The Next Generation Marketing Drug of Choice
These benefits are already tried and proven in many studies. At least 60 percent of consumers feel a positive affinity to a company after reading targeted content about and from them. That's a lot more than what traditional media can offer. It is not surprising therefore that many known brands like Procter & Gamble now incorporate this marketing technique in their strategy.
It is impossible for any business to successfully market a product, service, or company without good articles – that goes even for traditional media. Regardless of what product you offer and what industry you dabble in, content goes hand-in-hand with all spectrums of your marketing strategy. It is after all, good content that sparks the interest of social media users to click and share your links.
Engaging articles determine if the site good enough to receive inbound links and traffic. And with recent developments in search engine algorithms, apparently, it is also quality content more than SEO that search engines place weight on when it comes to ranking.
By delivering and curating well-written, relevant, and useful articles, businesses are able to communicate their desires, personality and values to customers without sounding like a hard sell. Instead of offering your products, you integrate relevant information in your marketing strategies in a non-interrupted fashion. The difference is, you own the content. You don't rent an ad space and don't pay hefty fees for published medium.
Through your articles, you make consumers smarter. They will remember your brand not because of annoying ads, but because you provided them with something useful. Ultimately, the effect is to subliminally affect and influence consumer insight and behavior by giving them something valuable. In turn, you will be rewarded with better brand recall and customer loyalty.
So is article marketing dead? Not at all! And you know what? It will never die, period. As long as the world wide web exists content will be king. SEO techniques may come and go but good articles will always be an asset for any website, new or old.

Spider monkeys live in the tropical forests of Central and South America, from southern Mexico to Peru, Bolivia, and central Brazil. With four lanky, spindly limbs and long prehensile tails, which they use like a powerful fifth hand, these large and unusually nimble New World monkeys swing gracefully from one tree branch to another (a maneuver known as brachiation) in their daytime search for fruit—the mainstay of their diets. Spider monkeys have coarse hair; narrow, hook-like hands that lack thumbs; and small, hairless faces. In the wild, these social monkeys form groups as large as two dozen individuals; when threatened, they attempt to scare off intruders with vocalizations that may sound like anything from human shrieks to a dog's bark and a horse's whinny. There are seven species of spider monkey, two of which are designated as critically endangered due to such threats as human hunting and logging.

The Perfumier and the Stinkhorn : Six Personal Essays on Natural Science and Romanticism Hardback
by Richard Mabey
In these elegant, short essays, revered nature writer Richard Mabey attempts to marry a Romantic's view of the natural world with that of the meticulous observations of the scientist.
By Romanticism, he refers to the view that nature isn't a machine to be dissected, but a community of which we, the observers, are inextricably part. And that our feelings about that community are a perfectly proper subject for reflection, because they shape our relationship with it.
Scientists eshew such a subjective response, wanting to witness the natural world exactly, whatever feelings subsequently follow.
Our feelings are an extension of our senses - sight, taste, smell, touch and sound - and here, in a sextet of inspiring meditations, Mabey explores each sensory response in what it means to interact with nature.
From birdsong to poetry, from Petri-dish to microscope, this is a joyful union of meandering thoughts and intimate memories.

Diabetes is the fastest-growing cause of inpatient and surgical care costs in the world. Worldwide spending on diabetic care already exceeds $400 billion annually, with 43% of these costs coming from hospital care in Europe and the United States. Over 40% of patients admitted to hospital are now at diabetic risk. Despite this, techniques for controlling glucose levels in hospitalized patients have remained unchanged for nearly three decades, and are too imprecise, labor-intensive, and coarsely implemented to address the growing need.
The Admetsys Smart Pancreas™ measure and maintains a hospitalized diabetics blood sugar levels in real time so their blood sugar mirrors that of a healthy patient.
Proper control of blood glucose levels and avoidance of harmful low levels saves lives (34% mortality reduction), decreases complications (by 40–50% over numerous co-morbidities), and speeds recovery (by 1.8 days in critical care patients).

Bhupathi, who is playing with Luxembourg's Gilles Muller, beat the Australian team of Alex Bolt and Andrew Whittington 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-4 in his tournament-opener at court seven. He had played at the Chennai Open and then at a Challenger tournament in Thailand, where he reached the semifinals with compatriot Purav Raja. The 42-year-old Paes made an exit with French partner Jeremy Charady after losing his first round 3-6, 4-6 to Colombian 12th seeds Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah. Latest News from Sports News Desk
In the two hour and 13 minute contest, Bhupathi and Muller managed to save 12 breakpoints out of 15 they faced.
It was Bhupathi's third competitive event since bowing out of 2015 Wimbledon championships. He had missed the entire second half of the last year as he was busy with the conduct of his ambitious International Premier Tennis League (IPTL).I was not at all close to my potential: Yuki Bhambri
Their challenge was over in 72 minutes as they squandered five of the six break chances.

Dewey was written for both Miles Dewey Davis, and Dewey Redman. The first four bars are reminiscent of a phrase that reminded me of both of those cats.

A Closer Look at the Woolly Worm
What is small, furry looking and found crossing roads this time of year?
The answer, of course, is the woolly worm. This perennial little critter is a familiar site in the fall, and it is not uncommon to see dozens if not hundreds in one day.
The woolly worm, in fact, is so common that it is easy to forget how complex and amazing the wee beasties truly are.
First off, the woolly worm is not a worm at all – they are caterpillars, the larva of the Isabella tigermoth. The name "worm" has stuck, at least in the South. People in New England and the Midwest call them "woolly bears."
Here are some interesting facts about the woolly ones:
When disturbed, the worms curl into a tight ball, with their "fur" (more about that later) bristling.
The worm has 13 segments to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter.
Woolly worms have three sets of legs, one each on its first three segments. There are some "false legs" behind those (non-working ones), and a leg for propping in the back.
Scientists don't believe the worms have weather forecasting powers. They argue the varying colors are caused by temperature levels and, possibly, moisture, during the early days of their life. Of course, over the last 20 years the worms have an 85 percent record for accuracy. Maybe the scientists are jealous.
Woolly worms eat plants such as grass, clover, dandelion, spinach and cabbage.
There are two generations of worms each year. The first appear in June and July, the second in September. It is the second generation that are the "weather prophets."
Where are the woolly worms racing when they cross a road? They are looking for places to hide. As cold weather arrives, they curl up under boards, logs, boulders and other safe places.
Here is something truly remarkable. Once settled in, the worms hibernate, creating a natural organic antifreeze. They freeze bit by bit, until everything but the interior of their cells are frozen. They can – and do – survive to temperatures as low as -90F.
This ability to adapt to cold shows up particularly in the Arctic, where the woolly worms live in a strange state of slow motion. Most caterpillars live for two to four weeks before becoming moths. The Arctic woolly worms, however, spend at least 14 years in the process!
The woolly worm we see now will winter over and emerge as moths in May. They will then lay eggs – the summer, or first, generation – and die.
Woolly worms have very tiny eyes, and limited range of sight. That is why sometimes you will see them rearing up, possibly mid-race, to feel around and seek out, by touch, the next place to go.
-by Jim Thompson
Regarding The Races…
First, no person is more likely to have a winning worm than any other person. There is no home-field advantage, no preferred age for the person who sets the worm on the string; although worms raced by children do seem to win a bit more frequently.
Second, selecting names for the Woolly Worms is a delightful way to learn how amazingly creative your friends and family members can be. Consider these clever monikers: "Merryweather", "Patsy Climb" and "Dale Wormhardt".
Finally, there is no other experience in life that can produce the absurd euphoria that comes from cheering for a caterpillar to climb a string. It is so indisputably ridiculous that it is completely liberating!
And the $1,000 first prize that accompanies the prestige of having your worm used to pronounce the official winter forecast doesn't hurt either.
The Woolly Worm races begin around 10 a.m. Each heat consists of 20 worms and races continue all day until the grand final around 4 p.m. The winning worm on Saturday is declared the official winter forecasting agent. The Sunday worm races are for prestige, fun and small prizes.
In addition to the Woolly Worm Races, the festival features crafts, food vendors, live entertainment and much more. Last year's festival attracted an estimated 20,000 fans, 140 vendors and around 1,000 race entrants.

A group of Democrats have called for Congressional Hearings on White Racist terrorism and violence. Such hearings are long overdue, but our concern here at the Defending Dissent Foundation is that previous hearings on similar topics have produced little serious information to help a legislative agenda–and much political posturing. Often the issue of civil liberties is shunted aside. Also, for many hearings, the witness list has not included the most respected social scientists who study these groups and their motivations. Instead a series of institutional representatives have played a key role in setting the Congressional Hearings' agendas. While these watchdog groups collect copious amounts of data and publish professional reports–they all come with a specific ideological and political agenda. We will keep you up-to-date as this story develops.

Fun, casual updates to the world of antiquing, collecting and just learning about trends.

Whats the story in Story City?
Must share pictures and comments about the antique mall in Story City, Iowa, called Antiques Iowa. It is a huge mall with a wonderful assortment of vintage and collectibles for your viewing and buying pleasure. We spent several hours perusing the goods and could have gone back again and again. Lots to see and absorb. For example: beautifully displayed antique tools, cabin/country goods, lots of vintage feed sacks plus oodles of primitives----both smalls, cupboards and other furniture. Actually, took pictures of several booths maintained by Carter Station, dealers with multiple booths. Sorry, can't ID the booth with feed sacks, although I bought several items. If you love paper and books, there was a wide selection. More formal furniture in room style vignettes. Many dealers had special short term sales, possibly for weekend. Well worth the stop but plan to spend some time in order to see it all! Managed to snare some fun items.

Watch TMNT (2007) Full Movie Online on YoutubeOnFire
Server 2
TMNT :- Watch TMNT on Youtube on Fire, When the world is threatened by an ancient evil, the four adolescent turtles must reunite and overcome their faults in order to stand against it. Ten years later, a brand new animated series redefined what the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were and helped everyone begin to see past the pizza-loving, child friendly characters of the 1980's cartoon, the live-action "Next Mutation" series and the second and third live-action movies. It was a step in the right direction and left many fans wanting more. Now, in 2007, Peter Laird, Kevin Munroe and the amazingly talented folks at Imagi Animation Studios deliver what could very well be the movie that everyone has waited for for so long: A film that presents the light-hearted aspects of the 1980's cartoon, and the dark and gritty of the original comics books that started it all, while introducing a brand new story that moves at a pace that's sure to keep new viewers enthralled. The animation on show here, while heavily stylized to emphasize the film's comic book origins, is absolutely stunning. Something I really admire about this movie is the voice acting, especially that the team working on the film went to lengths to portray ethnic authenticity with characters such as Foot Clan Leader Karai and the Turtles' mentor and father, Master Splinter. While the story may not have a whole lot of depth to it, it really doesn't need to. Hell, this is a movie that deals with humanoid mutant turtles going around and kicking butt, ninja-style. And thats not a bad thing in the least. The soundtrack consists of a mix of orchestral tunes and the seemingly obligatory rock/pop stuff, and thankfully its a pretty healthy mix as neither one seems to outweigh the other.

A method to independently quantify the absorption and the scattering properties of samples based on the analysis of the Haar transform (HT) of photon time-of-flight (TOF) distributions is described. A series of reflectance photon TOF measurements were acquired from absorbing/scattering milk samples of known composition (0 < μa < 0.025 mm-1; 100 < μs < 250 mm-1). The HT of the profiles was calculated, and the regression based on the most parsimonious subset of wavelets was determined by the genetic algorithm (GA). In addition, the utility of computing the logarithm of the profiles or of the absolute value of the wavelet coefficients before the GA was studied. Results show that the absorption coefficient could be estimated with a coefficient of variation (C.V.) of 6.7% and an r 2 of 0.99 by use of the log of selected wavelets of frequency less than 800 MHz. Scattering coefficients were estimated with a C.V. of 2.3% and an r 2 of 0.99 with the log of wavelets of frequency less than 400 MHz. The above results suggest that a simplified instrument based on low-frequency switches could be developed to quantify the optical properties of highly scattering media.

Death/ Rebirth[CD]~ The Lost ZoydProduct Notes
As the expansion of corporate power presses on a new concept in social mobility comes to the surface: Life Shaping, a whole life framework developed to harness the power of society. But through greed and corruption the concept becomes undermined. Whole cities are constructed with Life Shaping as their framework, and it became a lucrative market. The latest project announced is 'City+', which pushes the limits of the Life Shaping paradigm, offering greater technology and protection than any before it. But what of the people who signed the dubious contracts to gain entrance to this new land? Death/Rebirth charts the course of a second-generation citizen of City+, separated from his parents at birth and yearning to realise more about what lies outside of the city's boundary. Credits: Death/Rebirth conceived, recorded and produced by Adam Jansch. Drum programming on 'Death' by Rupert Coghlan. Dialogue on 'Lost in the Wilderness' by Scott Hewitt and Claire M Singer. Synth programming on 'Lost in the Wilderness' by Adam Jansch and Nick Dawe. 'Revolution' contains a sample from 'La Luna' by Bert Jansch.

When an experiment to counteract global warming causes an ice age that kills nearly all life on Earth, the only survivors are people travelling on a massive train called Snowpiercer. Powered by a perpetual-motion engine, it travels on a track that spans the globe.
The inhabitants of the train soon find a class system installed, with the wealthy taking over the front of the train and the starving poor forced to live behind locked doors at the tail, where food is sometimes delivered to them in protein blocks by armed guards. The guards also periodically take some of their children.
One of the leaders of the tail inhabitants, Curtis (Chris Evans), stages a revolt to unlock the doors dividing each car so they can get to where the elite live in luxury and take over.
Based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette.

This is one of the myths of how the underworld came to be as told by the citizens of Hell. Of course as the comic rolls on you'll learn that they are all completely innacurate, especially this one.
This story is also a tad disturbing...don't read this story if you think all humans on this earth are nice and that we are not doomed to kill eachother

The department is deeply intertwined with virtually all activities of the College of Medicine and has a nearly identical mission statement:
"To support the FSU College of Medicine in educating and developing exemplary physicians who practice patient-centered health care, discover and advance knowledge and who are responsive to community needs especially through service to elder, rural, minority and underserved populations."
The COM is a community-based medical school and has a distributed regional campus model of education that emphasizes primary care medicine. We use community physicians and facilities for the education of our students. There are no clinics or university hospital at the college of medicine. Year 3-4 education is located at regional campuses located across the state (Pensacola, Tallahassee, Daytona, Orlando, Sarasota and Ft. Pierce). There are also rural training sites located in three rural communities (Marianna, Immokalee and Thomasville, GA). These sites develop affiliations with nearby community hospitals, clinics, and physician offices. Each teaching site must deliver the standard College of Medicine curriculum and is supported and directed by the department faculty. The community physician faculty supervise the student's clinical experiences and are credentialed, trained and supported by the College of Medicine.
We are committed to our mission and all of the faculty are recruited and supported so that our number one priority is teaching students. We have an open-door policy and are always available to teach, mentor, and advise our students. The faculty in the Department of Family Medicine and Rural Health "practice what we preach" and are involved locally, nationally, and globally in the care of the underserved. Read on to learn more about what we are about, and welcome!

Updates to the NI definitions are available at the Audit Commission website
The Local Government White Paper sets out Government's aim of creating strong and cohesive communities - thriving places in which a fear of difference is replaced by a shared set of values and a shared sense of purpose and belonging. The aim in doing so is to ensure that the economic and cultural benefits of diversity are experienced by everyone in each community, recognising that this means promoting similar life opportunities for all. This particular measure is widely recognised as a key indicator of a cohesive society, shown to measure a number of strands of the community cohesion definition. The question that feeds this indicator was previously used in the 2006/7 BVPI satisfaction survey. Note that the methodology for the Place Survey is comparable with the BVPI satisfaction survey as both surveys are conducted by post with an autumn fieldwork period.
Data Sources
Data collection is through the Place Survey, a postal self-completion survey first carried out in 2008. The change of Government has meant that the 2nd survey, due to be carried out in Autumn 2010, has been cancelled.

(ISBN 0-900455-44-6) One branch of the family was found at Winstanley in Lancashire from early times. "In the reign of James I., the manor belonged to James Bancks, a descendant of the Bankes, of BankNewton, in Craven; in whose family the property continued until about 1731, when, by marriage with the heiress of William Bankes, it passed to the family of Holme, who eventually changed their name to Bankes. Winstanley Hall, existing in the 16th century, is the seat of the Bankes family, and stands in a spacious and delightful park: it has been lately re-edified and improved."

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationTo escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Banks family emigrate to North America: Banks Settlers in United States in the 17th Century

Golf revenues are slowly on the decline across Canada. Some B.C. leaders have missed the simplest way of fixing this problem: getting taxpayers out of the golf game all together. It's one thing for taxes to go to essentials like water, sewer or public safety, it's another thing to know you're subsidizing luxuries like municipal golf courses. If you can find a service listed on YellowPages.ca, government shouldn't be providing it.
