17 June 1993.
It seems to me that Stevan Pirocanac, in his In My Opinion March 31 and letter June 9, is clearly afflicted by the Serbian national delusion of Serbian victimization. Blaming Germany and Croatia for Serbian aggression and the genocide committed by the Serbs during the last two years is appalling.
It is one more excuse for crimes against those "dangerous" Bosniak civilians in the bread lines, soccer fields and hospitals.
Pirocanac needs to be reminded that his own Serbs have a history of brutal aggression in the 20th century. In the Balkan wars, they slaughtered Bosniaks, Albanians and Macedonians. The period between 1918 and 1941 is known as the Serbian "reign of terror."
The conditions in Croatia, under the Serbian yoke at that time, prompted Albert Einstein and Heinrich Mann to write the following to the International League for the Rights of Man:
"The facts show that cruelty and brutality practiced upon the Croatians only increase. In view of the frightful situation, we urge the International League for the Rights of Man to do everything possible to suppress this unrestrained rule of might which prevails in Croatia."
"Murder as a political weapon must not be tolerated; and political Serbian murderers must not be made national heroes. The League should muster all possible aid to protect this small, peaceful and highly civilized people…" (The New York Times, May 6, 1931).
As far as Serbian "love" for the Jewish people: Serbs have expelled Jews from Serbia as far back as 1804, 1856 and 1861. The Serbian-led Nazi regime in Belgrade is responsible for that city's dubious honor of being the very first in Europe to be free of Jews in World War II.
It was in Belgrade on Jan. 1, 1942, that Serbian authorities issued four anti-Semitic postal stamps. In Belgrade alone, more than 11,000 Jews were killed by the Serbs between 1941 and 1945. Philip Cohen, in his well-documented April 20 paper called "Desecrating the Holocaust: Serbia's Exploitation of the Holocaust as Propaganda" writes, among other things:
"Even as Serbia courts Jewish public opinion, their propagandists conceal a tradition of well-ingrained anti-Sermitism, which persist to the present. Moreover, Serbs portray themselves as victims in the Second World War, which indeed they were, but conceal the genocidal massacres that various Serbian formations perpetrated against several peoples, including the Jews…"
There is no justification for the heinous crimes that Serbs are committing on the innocent people in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Pirocanac needs to remember that his ancestors migrated to Croatia and to Bosnia-Herzegovina to escape Turkish persecution, or as a result of Serb colonization of those lands. Nothing from the past can be used to justify the brutal Serb aggression now.

Baking Bread In My Farmhouse Kitchen
This winter I started to bake bread again. Now I make it every few days and my family loves it.Years ago, I did have a bread maker that fascinated me. This machine made bread making so easy. Dump all the ingredients in, shut the lid, listen to it kneading the dough and in a few hours and without flour all over the counter tops – Magic happened- homemade bread. I know people who swear by their bread makers. It was a kitchen miracle. Sort of like the slow cooker- that "set it and forget it" technique that busy people love. However I do not like square dense bread and my bread never had the flavour or texture that I was looking for. I hated the clean up and it took up so much room in my already appliance- burdened kitchen. So I packed it up along with my electric can opener and donated it to the local thrift store.
If we are all going to put on weight it should be with something delicious shouldn't it? Most people think that making bread is too difficult and complicated so they leave it to the professionals or a magical machine. Considering that fresh bread costs around $4.00 at bakeries,why not make your own? Working with yeast seems to be stressful. Good news,the new types of yeast are practically fool proof. I want to share with you an incredibly delicious and easy bread recipe. Another wonderful feature of this recipe is that once you master the basics you can make cinnamon bread, rolls and even focaccia.I promise you that you will be making this fantastic bread all the time.
Recipes that cut down on preparation and clean up time are great to have in your repertoire. I like to use instant yeast because you can add it directly to the flour so there's no need to proof the yeast. One less step and I love that. Proofing, a stressful part of bread making has now been taken away. What could be easier than combining all the ingredients stirring them together and then letting magic happen? Baking bread is like alchemy to me. No kneading means it is less stressful, less time and less clean up. After all,bread making can be a messy business.
I came across a few recipes that were no-knead and that were seemingly easy to make. What you really needed was time. With these recipes you can't really "set it and forget it". If you use a recipe that requires less yeast and hence more rising time, that is a dough that you can do it overnight. I am too impatient for that.
Another great detail about this bread is not only is it a no knead bread, you don't have to shape it. You just pick up the the proofed dough, roughly shape it into a loaf and drop it into the prepared pans. Using Rapid Yeast makes it possible to start the bread after lunch and have it ready for dinner.
Baking bread for me making is my kitchen yoga. I love watching what yeast does and how it transforms such basic ingredients. Homemade fresh bread touches something spiritual- it says to family and friends that you care, because you took the time to make something that brings back and begins new memories. This is how I feel about bread making…
To make this type of bread you need to be around to monitor the proofing. Last weekend when guests were to arrive, I had started making my bread and the power went out for 7 hours. My strategy was to keep punching the dough down and all the while praying that the electricity would come back on. Even after 7 hours, the bread turned out perfectly.
I have spent decades in kitchens and I will admit that I have been enticed by many aromas, but there isn't any other aroma that I find more compelling then the smell of bread baking.
Of course there are thousands of different types of bread recipes and everybody has their own hints and tips and techniques. Some people prefer whole-wheat and its many iterations, but I prefer good old-fashioned white bread served with my homemade preserves.White bread is a clean canvas to highlight the vibrant fruit flavor of my preserves. I put lots of work into my preserves. I take ripe fruit, half the usual sugar and fresh lemon juice and then spend a whole lot of time stirring and watching carefully to prevent scorching and for the moment it sets.
What makes this bread so special? I think it's the brushing of the loaf pans with melted butter and the use of cornmeal, which gives a wonderful texture and flavour. I also think that it's brushing the cooked loaf with more butter right after comes out of the oven is what it makes it over-the-top delicious. Better still it slices well and keeps well at room temperature and freezes beautifully, it makes fantastic croutons, sandwiches and French toast. Last night I made a panzanella salad with tomatoes, herbed croutons, basil and vinaigrette with the left over end pieces.
- Some people recommend using a thermometer to measure the temperature of the water, it should be about 110 degrees.
- I use instant or rapid rise yeast, however the recipe works fine with regular yeast. It will take more time to proof and rise.
- Some people insist on using bread flour, it is much more expensive here in Canada-I get perfect results using unbleached all-purpose flour.
- Do not worry if you find you need to add more water-add it around the outside of the bowl and drag it into the centre of the dough. Make sure that if you are adding extra water you only do so a little at a time. Once you add something you can't take it out.
- I use stainless steel bowls and before I start to make the dough run them under warm water to take the chill off the bowls-really needed in a cold farm house kitchen in the winter.
- I offer the choice of cooking spray for ease but I use melted butter on the inside of the loaf pans. I do not like the taste of aerosol oil so if you can locate oil with a pump I suggest you use it. As with any oil, make sure to test for the freshness of your aerosol spray as it can go rancid. I use a pastry brush to oil the saran wrap. Remember to keep the saran in between proofing-it makes another kitchen job I hate which is handling plastic wrap, ( this issue goes back to my catering jobs which involved hours of handling plastic wrap each day) something I only have to do once.
- As for the Proofing,that can be a challenge in a cold farmhouse kitchen. Some home cooks suggest the top of your refrigerator or clothes dryer, some in an oven that has been set on the lowest setting, some suggest the microwave heated, turned off and then closed. I set mine near the heater that I use to keep warm as I work, (I think you can see how cold this old farmhouse can be) the dough rises very quickly and I can keep track of it. Watching the dough change and grow is a part of the thrill of bread making that I always love.
- Make sure to let the bread cool-Everyone will be drooling but it does need to rest before slicing for best results.
Leftover ideas:
I doubt that there will be any leftovers however if there are – Toast the next day or heat up in a cast iron skillet with a butter, use in french toast or a bread pudding. Some people like to use it a grilled cheese or Monte Cristo sandwich. It is also great cut into slices and made into crisps to eat as a snack or with your favourite cheese. I make the bread into croutons they are delicious. I drizzle the cubed bread with olive oil, kosher salt and black pepper and herbs. I toast in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until crisp. Sometimes I also add a dusting of smoked paprika-delicious in soups or salads.

Author Notes: Some say this is an Alice Waters recipe. She says it's actually a Jacques Pepin recipe. 'Tomato, tomaaato, potato, potaaaato, let's call the whole thing off' and just say it's delicious. —Serena Cosmo | Rustic Plate
Makes: 8 servings
Ingredients for galette topping
pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
tablespoons sugar, divided
teaspoon finely grated lemon peel (1 lemon)
cups apricot preserves
tablespoons milk
Ingredients for savory pie crust
1 ¾
cups unbleached white flour
teaspoons salt
cups (1 ½ sticks) of chilled, unsalted butter, cut into ½ inch cubes
tablespoons (or more) of ice water
In This Recipe
- Make the crust by blending flour and salt in a stand mixer like a KitchenAid. Add the butter and blend. Continue blending, intermittently turning the stand mixer on and off. You're done when the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add two tablespoons of ice water and blend until the dough begins to clump together. I usually wait until the whole thing is stuck to the beater blade.
- Remove the dough from the blade and roll it up into a ball. Wrap in clear food wrap and chill for at least 1 hour. (You can keep it refrigerated for up to two days.) Refrigerate the dough until you are ready to use it.
- Take the dough ball out of the fridge and place it on a flat surface. Roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper into approximately an 1/8-inch-thick round. I use a large, unrimmed pizza pan that's 15 inches across as a guide to create the round. Gently remove the top sheet of parchment. Place an inverted pizza pan (or baking sheet) on the uncovered dough and gently flip it directly on the pizza pan. Once again, gently remove the second parchment paper from the dough. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. While the dough is chilling, prepare the apples by coring, peeling and slicing them. Then, place them in a medium bowl with 2 tablespoons sugar and the lemon zest and mix well.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cover the center of the round with the apricot jam, leaving 1 – 1 ½ of the border plain. Starting from the outermost circle, begin to arrange the apple slices in concentric circles. Overlap them slightly. You'll typically create 3 overlapping circles of apple slices and then be able to fill the center with a few more slices. Gently fold the crust to create a rustic border. Brush the crust with milk and sprinkle the edges and the apples with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Place in the oven and lower the temperature to 425°F. Bake for 20 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue baking until the crust is nice and golden, about 30 minutes longer. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes or so. at least 10 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve. Makes 8 servings.

LACONIA, N.H. (AP) -- Organizers have canceled this weekend's World Championship Sled Dog Derby in Laconia, N.H., saying rain and sleet coated the trails with thick ice.
Lakes Region Sled Dog Club President Jim Lyman says it's in the best safety interest for the dogs and mushers not to run.
Organizers said a snowstorm expected Saturday night might also make conditions difficult. Too much snow could create uneven trails.
Lyman said there's talk about holding the event next weekend.
The club will meet Monday night to make a final decision on whether to proceed.
This is the second time this year the derby has been postponed due to unfavorable weather. It was originally scheduled for Feb. 8-10.

Tablelands Regional Council's wind farm headache
Credit: Tony Stickley | The Cairns Post | www.cairns.com.au 4 September 2012 ~~
Tablelands Regional Council is appealing to the State Government to give it more powers to deal with the proposed Mt Emerald wind farm.
Ratch Australia and Port Bajool have an application before the TRC for the construction of 75-79 turbines at a cost of $540 million on the site near Walkamin.
The council is seeking to amend the Mareeba Shire Planning Scheme which was not designed to deal with wind farm applications.
It also wants the Government to renew a Temporary Local Planning Instrument which was signed by the previous administration but which is due to expire soon.
In early July, Mayor Rosa Lee Long wrote to Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning, Jeff Seeney, asking him to approve an amendment to the planning scheme in regard to wind farms.
"Council is concerned that any further delays will jeopardise the scheme amendment before the TLPI expires," Cr Lee Long wrote.
Yesterday, Cr Lee Long said they were "anxiously and urgently" awaiting a response.
"We don' have any framework to assess wind farm applications and that is why we are asking the Government for this extension so that the Government can come up with the appropriate framework," she said.

Author's name: Jonathan Lewis

Date written: 31-Jan-2001
Oracle version(s): 7.3 - 188.8.131.52
The views DBA_SEGMENTS and DBA_TABLES give me different numbers of blocks in my table. Why is this, and how do I actually find out how much space my table is actually using ?
The view DBA_SEGMENTS summarises the list of extents that have been allocated to a data object in the database. Once an extent has been allocated, no other object can use that space unless the extent is dropped or trimmed using either the drop object or deallocate unused syntax. If you create a table:
create table big_waste(id number, description varchar2(1000))
storage (initial 100M next 100M minextents 2)
then you are 'using' 200MB of the total space in your database, even if you have just one row of data stored in the table. If you spot the problem, you can (in most recent versions of Oracle) issue a command like:
alter table big_waste deallocate unused;
alter table big_waste deallocate unused keep 1M;
The first option will detach any extents that are above the high water mark and also above the value for the storage parameter minextents. The second is more agressive - it will detach as much space above the high-water mark as it can, reducing the table's value for minextents if necessary, trying to bring the storage down until only the given amount (in this case 1 megabyte) is left free above the high water mark.
Of course, there is a good argument for not doing this sort of thing. It is generally becoming accepted that ease of database management is more important than saving a little space, and that using a uniform size of extent within each tablespace is the best way of achieving this target.Consequently if you discover an error like the big_waste table above, the solution is not to trim the excess off, but to move the table into a tablespace with a more appropriate unit size.
Moving on to the difference between the number of blocks reported in dba_segments and dba_tables (say) the reason why these values differ is because the value in dba_tables (or the similarly used leaf_blocks in dba_indexes) is filled after you issue a command like:
analyze table big_waste estimate statistics;
Depending on your version of Oracle, this will also populate columns called blocks, empty_blocks, num_freelist_blocks. The blocks value is the number of blocks below the highwater mark - if you deallocated the wasted space as much as possible, this is the number of blocks (less one) that you would find left in the data segment. Empty_blocks is the number of blocks above the high water mark, and is the maximum number of blocks that you can eliminate with the deallocate command. Num_freelist_blocks is the number of blocks on the segment's free lists - most of these blocks will be below the high water mark, and there presence there idicates that enough data has been deleted from them that the volume of data left in each block has dropped below the storage paramete pctused. It is the free list blocks that make it difficult to determine accurately how much space is actually required by your data segment, since a block on the free list may be using anything between 0% and pctused of a block. However, by doing an estimate statistics of a table, you generally get a good idea of how much space is actually used. Note: you only need to estimate statistics for these three figures to be calculated accurately.
Of course, this only helps for tables - for indexes you could do the same and look at leaf_blocks. This is a fairly good guide, usually within about 2%, of the actual storage required by the index, but it does not cater for branch blocks, nor does it cater for blocks on free lists.
To get more accurate statistics on data objects, you usually need to do a compute statistics, or an estimate statistics with a reasonably large percentage estimate. In the case of indexes, the best bet is to do a validate index then look at the view index_stats rather than the view dba_indexes. These options, however, lock the base object and can be very expensive to run.
Further reading: A final option for getting a good indication of size (and this works for some objects which do not fall under the umbrella of the analyze command) is to use the dbms_space package which can report the number of blocks on free lists, and the number of blocks above the high-water mark for most kinds of object.

History of Jambi Province December 22, 2009
Before what is now Indonesia was colonized by the Dutch East India Company, Jambi was the site of a well-established, powerful Srivijayan kingdom[citation needed] that engaged in trade throughout the Strait of Malacca and beyond. It succeeded Palembang to the south, which was a frequent military and economic rival, as the later capital of the ancient kingdom. The move to Jambi was partly induced by the historic 1025 raid by pirates from the Chola region of southern India that destroyed much of Palembang.
In the early decades of the Dutch presence in the region, when the future colonizers were just one of several groups of traders competing with the British, Chinese, Arabs, and Malays, the Jambi sultanate profitably traded pepper with the Dutch. This relationship declined by about 1770, and the sultanate had little contact with the Dutch for about sixty years.
In 1833, minor conflicts with the Dutch, who were well established in Palembang, meant the Dutch increasingly felt the need to control the actions of Jambi. They coerced Sultan Facharudin to agree to greater Dutch presence in the region and control over trade, although the sultanate remained nominally independent. In 1858 the Dutch, apparently concerned over the risk of competition for control from other foreign powers, invaded Jambi with a force from Batavia. They met little resistance, and Sultan Taha fled to the upriver, inland regions of Jambi. The Dutch installed a puppet ruler, Nazarudin, in the lower region, which included the capital city. For the next forty years Taha maintained the upriver kingdom, and slowly reextended his influence over the lower regions through political agreements and marriage connections. In 1904, however, the Dutch were stronger and, as a part of a larger campaign to consolidate control over the entire archipelago, soldiers finally managed to capture and kill Taha, and in 1906, the entire area was brought under direct colonial management.

Study Abroad - Europe - About Duquesne
Duquesne University is a private catholic university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Twenty-six full-time and sixty-five adjunct professors supervise and teach about 700 J.D. students at the Law School. U.S.-students get the title "J.D." (juris doctor) after three years of the full-time study of law. This title allows the students to take the state bar examination. Before one is admitted to law school, one must first study four years as an undergraduate to receive a bachelor´s degree (BA or BS, similar to the Bologna system) and then take the law school admission test (LSAT).
The atmosphere is very friendly among the law school students. The professors supervise the students personally. The open-door policy allows students to reach their professors at any time. The comprehensive law library invites students to stay and study. The students are welcome to use the computers at the law library. However, most American students use their own laptop computers which they can take to classes to make notes during lectures. Wireless LAN internet connection is accessible throughout the entire law school.
Duquesne University is situated directly downtown and can be reached easily with public transportation. Public transportation (tram or bus) can be used throughout the day. Many American students own a car and use it to drive to the university.
Pittsburgh is full of life and is the home of two other large universities and many colleges. The city is surrounded by three rivers, situated close to the Appalachian Mountains and has many green areas. In winter, the temperature is often below freezing and there is snow. Skiing is possible within a one hour drive from Pittsburgh. In summer, it is warmer than in Cologne. The most beautiful time in Pittsburgh is probably in the autumn, when the temperatures are very agreeable and the leaves of all the trees are magnificently colored.
The inhabitants of Pittsburgh are very interested in sports. The Pittsburgh football team, the "Steelers" won the Super Bowl in 2009 for the 6th time. Pittsburgh is the home of a professional ice hockey team, the "Penguins," and of a professional baseball team, the "Pirates," whose stadium was voted the best professional baseball stadium in the United States. The artist Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh and to honor this artist, Pittsburgh has a Warhol museum. In Pittsburgh there are many other art and science museums. The opera, the world-class Pittsburgh symphony, the ballet and the theatre invite one to visit. Pittsburgh is a good start for weekend trips to the cities of New York, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Toronto and to Niagara Falls. Often, one can find cheap flights, trains or buses from Pittsburgh to these places.

Exhibition: Irving J. Gill: New Architecture for a Great Country
24th June 2016 - June 2017, San Diego History Center, San Diego, CA, United States
"Architect Irving J. Gill was a San Diego architect, by way of Chicago, who relished the opportunity to work in this city during the end of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He saw San Diego as a blank slate with great potential. Inspired by the coast and canyons, sunlight and shadows, Gill created a new design language, what we now call modern architecture. His simple, block-like designs offered simplicity, clean lines, and efficiency at a time when faux-Victorian and Spanish Colonial architecture were mainstream. Once sought after by many of San Diego elites like, Ellen Browning Scripps and Melville Klauber, his legacy was largely overlooked after his death.
San Diegans today may not know the name Irving Gill, but they are, perhaps unknowingly, aware of his influential and livable architecture. From the home of Ellen Browning Scripps (todays Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla), to the Bishop´s School in La Jolla, to the Sacred Heart Church in Coronado, the Marston House, in Balboa Park, the Americanization School in Oceanside, and the Barona Indian Reservation in Lakeside. Gills designs made a lasting mark on San Diego County and the influence architects and their clients to this day.
Visit the History Centers exhibition Irving J. Gill: New Architecture for a Great Country to learn more about this fascinating and sometimes misunderstood individual who helped create in a new style of architecture revered throughout the world, but one that originated right here in San Diego."

BIGFOOT SIGHTINGS: Bigfoot -- also known as Sasquatch, Yeti and Skunk Ape -- earned its name from the gigantic footprints it is said to leave behind. Thousands of sightings of this large, hairy, ape-like humanoid creature have been reported in forested areas in many parts of North America, with most occuring in the wilderness areas of northern California as well as other parts of the Pacific Northwest and Canada.
BIG AND STINKY: Completely covered in dark brown or reddish hair and ranging in height from 6 to 10 feet tall, Bigfoot is said to weigh between 500 pounds and half a ton. And according to some, the behemoth creature stinks; some witnesses report an overwhelming stench when they supposedly encounter a Bigfoot. Others attribute mournful wailing sounds and other unusual vocalizations to the monster -- many of these sounds have supposedly been recorded.
SHY AND PEACEFUL: Despite Bigfoot's size and appearance, the creature is hardly ever described as a ferocious predator. The beast is said to be an omnivore who feeds on plants as well as fish and small animals. In fact, Bigfoot is largely believed to be shy and peaceful. Some even say the creatures have a soft spot for kittens and small children, taking the former as pets and attempting to engage in play with the latter.
THE EVIDENCE FOR BIGFOOT: Bigfoot believers insist that photographs and casts of the creature's famous footprints -- some nearly 2 feet in length -- prove the existence of this behemoth creature. And many Bigfoot enthusiasts point to the so-called Patterson-Gimlin video taken in 1967 as irrefutable evidence of Bigfoot's existence. Shot in the northern California wilderness, the controversial video shows what appears to be a female Bigfoot walking across the frame, swinging her arms. Many claim the pictured Bigfoot is a man dressed in an altered gorilla suit, but experts say the long arms of the beast on the video would be impossible for a costumed human to recreate.

Jessica Simpson looked simply sensational as she stepped out for a friend"s baby shower at the weekend.
The mum-of-two showed off her toned figure in a fitted fuchsia dress at the party, where she posed with her expectant pal for a sweet photograph.
Jessica, 33, has been vocal about her efforts to get back in shape following the arrival of her children, Maxwell and Ace, who was born last year.
The Weight Watchers spokeswoman has an added incentive – she"s due to tie the knot with her fiancé Eric Johnson over the 4 July holiday weekend.
Jessica is thought to have upped her daily cardio workout to six miles a day on the treadmill to prepare for her wedding day.
"Jess probably spends half the day there (in the gym)," an insider told Life & Style. "Jess has gotten her best bod ever. She truly feels like she"s in better shape than she was in her early 20s."
The star is, understandably, delighted by the results of her hard work, and has been celebrating with lots of sexy selfies recently.
Last month she showed off her body in two Instagram photographs, posing with her husband-to-be"s golf clubs.
"If I"m in a bathing suit I should pose proudly," she wrote alongside one of the pictures, in which she is wearing just a swimming costume, heels and sunglasses.
In February, Jessica spoke candidly about gaining weight during her pregnancies. "It is a really hard thing to go through," she told ABC News. "And you deserve to eat ice cream, you deserve to have your pancakes. Do whatever you want to do and then afterwards just know that you have to work really hard.
"I had to learn that with my first and second pregnancy. My first pregnancy I ate a lot more, but my second pregnancy I ate enough, like I ate what I wanted to eat but I stayed active and I think because I had gained so much weight with my first that I had to stay active throughout my second because I didn"t know what to do with myself if I didn"t."

In November 2014, days after Republicans recaptured control of the U.S. Senate in the midterm elections, Mitch McConnell called Kentucky state Rep. Jonathan Shell to complain.
McConnell had just scored a huge reelection win, and when the 114th Congress gaveled into session, he would fulfill his lifelong goal of becoming majority leader.
But McConnell told Shell that he was unhappy nonetheless, because Kentucky Republicans had failed to recapture control of the state House. It galled the senator that he won a majority of votes in 13 state House districts where no Republican was even on the ballot.
Less than a month later, McConnell convened a meeting of the state House Republican caucus to begin plotting a strategy ahead of the 2016 elections.
He told his fellow Republicans bluntly that they needed a better operation, and he suggested Shell head a campaign committee that had previously been little more than a fundraising vehicle.
The committee, and McConnell, would make a concerted effort to recruit candidates.
Now, two months before Election Day, Kentucky Republicans are fielding a record number of candidates — in 91 of the state's 100 House districts. In 2015, McConnell himself met with more than 20 of those candidates to convince them to run. And now, Democrats' tenuous six-seat majority is at risk.
"He's dealing with [President] Obama; he's dealing with [Senate Minority Leader] Harry Reid [D-Nev.]; he's fighting with [House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi [D-Calif.], but yet he takes the time to meet with state House candidates from Harlan County," Shell said. "The man that's on CNN and Fox News and the majority leader of the United States Senate, I still get to talk to on the phone."
Flipping the state House — the last legislative chamber in the South controlled by Democrats — would represent the end of a long political evolution in Kentucky, one that began with McConnell's 5,000-vote victory over Democratic Sen. Walter Huddleston in 1984.
Then, McConnell was the first Republican to win statewide office since 1967. What was once a reliably blue state is now one of the most Republican in the country.
At the heart of that evolution is McConnell himself, who began his career in elected office in 1977 as chief executive of Jefferson County, the most populous area of the state.
He recalled that when he ran against Huddleston in 1984, he sat among a small cadre of fellow executives on the Republican side of the stage at Fancy Farm, Kentucky's raucous annual political gathering. Across the aisle on the Democratic side sat a bevy of congressmen, current and former governors and senators.
"I got tired of being alone," McConnell said in an interview.
Kentucky Republicans faced a long slog to return to relevance.
When Jim Bunning, later McConnell's colleague in the Senate, ran for Republican leader in the state Senate, he won on a 5-4 vote. The other 29 state senators were Democrats. As late as 1992, four of Kentucky's six U.S. House members were Democrats. And after Republican Louie Nunn left office, every governor between 1971 and 2003 was a Democrat.
"We had to beg people to run for governor. Literally, we had to recruit people to run for governor," McConnell said.
But as the state began to change, one person was present at virtually every turning point: Mitch McConnell.
"Sen. McConnell certainly is a fierce competitor, and he's very good at the electoral process," said Dale Emmons, a longtime Kentucky Democratic strategist. "He's a master of the game, and that's from the other side of the aisle."
In 1994, after the death of Democratic Rep. William Natcher, McConnell dispatched his top political aide, Terry Carmack, to run Republican Ron Lewis's special election campaign.
McConnell badgered Rep. Bill Paxon (R-N.Y.), then the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, as well as then-Republican National Committee Chairman Haley Barbour, to invest in the race.
They did, and Lewis became the first Republican to win a U.S. House seat in western Kentucky — the first hint that a Republican wave was building across the country.
Five years later on a Saturday morning in his own living room, McConnell finalized a deal that delivered Democratic state Sens. Don Seum and Bob Leeper to the Republican Party.
Their switch handed control of the state Senate to Republicans for the first time since Reconstruction; the GOP hasn't given up the Senate since.
In most states, a party infrastructure is cultivated and maintained by a governor who has to work with state legislators on a daily basis. But Kentucky is unique: It elects state legislators in even-numbered years and the governor in an odd-numbered year. With no governor or gubernatorial nominee presiding over the state Republican Party, the task fell to McConnell, who tackled it with glee.
After the 2002 elections, McConnell wrote a single check that wiped out the state party's entire debt. Today, the Kentucky Republican Party's headquarters is known as the Mitch McConnell Building.
And in 2016, just two years after Republican Matt Bevin challenged McConnell in a primary, an outside group with close ties to McConnell ran advertisements backing now-Gov. Bevin's agenda.
This year, McConnell and Bevin are working together to win back the state House, hoping to take advantage of dramatically changed political geography in the state.
Since the Civil War, Democrats have maintained control of eastern Kentucky's coal country. Even in 2002, when McConnell won reelection by a nearly 30-point margin, his Democratic opponent won majorities in seven coal-heavy counties. In 2014, McConnell won all but two of those counties, and Bevin won them in 2015.
The Republican resurgence in Kentucky has been bookended, in a fashion, by three unpopular Democrats: Bill Clinton, whose dismal approval ratings helped Republicans take back the House and Senate in 1994; Gov. Paul Patton, who spurred the Democratic exodus from the state Senate in 1999; and President Obama, who has presided over a period of decline in those coal-heavy counties.
"Bill Clinton turned western Kentucky red, and Barack Obama turned eastern Kentucky red," said Billy Piper, a Washington lobbyist and McConnell's longtime chief of staff.
Emmons attributed the political shift in eastern Kentucky to upheaval in the energy industry, and particularly to the decline in coal jobs that had been a staple of generations of middle-class miners.
"There's been a sea change in terms of how the current administration is now viewed in Kentucky," Emmons said. "The coal industry and the energy business has really changed. It's an anti-Obama vote."
McConnell, too, credited Obama with helping Kentucky Republicans make inroads in the state's east.
"President Obama has certainly helped, in the last few years, accelerate the process in an area of the state where it was hardest to compete," McConnell said. Now, coal country "may be where we have the best pickup opportunities in finally flipping the House."
This year, McConnell and national Republicans are struggling to keep control of their narrow majority in the U.S. Senate. But back home, McConnell believes his party is within arm's reach of conquering the last remaining hurdle to total Republican control in Kentucky.
Thirty years ago, McConnell had scant company on stage at Fancy Farm. Next year, his side will be overflowing with a governor, a fellow senator, five members of Congress, and maybe the next Speaker of the state House.

Have you ever done a Mantra Painting?
I was talking with some close friends recently and sharing with them some personal struggles I have had. One of my friends suggested that I write down my mantra and read it every day.
I decided instead of a piece of notebook paper with pen scribbled across it and taped to my bathroom mirror, I would make a painting instead.
This is what I made.
Mine says, " You are loved, you are a gift & worthy". It really bothers me it doesn't say "you are worthy" at the end...but I ran out of space for my stamps! Oh well ~ it's just for me anyway.
Do you have a mantra painting? A mantra ~ if so, share in the comments below. I'd love to hear it!

Do you have any idea about how do aphids damage plants? You probably know how upset gardeners are to see aphids on their prize roses. They have good cause for anxiety since aphids do a lot of damage to many plants. They also do aphids do a lot of damage to many plants.
How do aphids damage plants
They also do considerable economic harm to farmers. Theirs activates affect crops in two ways. By sucking the sap aphids soon cause the plant to another; they can be responsible for spreading virus infections among crops.
The mouthparts of the aphid are modified to form a needle-sharp tube which is inserted into the sap-carrying cells of the plant. The sap is thus diverted to the aphid and because it has a low nutrient value the aphid drinks vast quantities.
Most of the sugary sap passes straight through the aphid and is excreted as honeydew. It is this that is so favored by ants and by stroking the aphids with their antennae they stimulate a faster flow of honeydew.
Why does the scarab beetle roll dung?
A fairly common sight in the drier areas of southern Asia, the United States, and Africa, is a medium-sized black beetle scurrying backward rolling a ball of dung.
This is often several times the size of the beetle and can be as big as a tennis ball. Often a beetle will be helped in its labors by another, but if it is not careful the newcomer will make off with the dung himself.
Once a suitable spot is found the beetle digs a chamber and feeds on the dung underground. Later in the year, the beetles pair up and as before burying some dung. This time, however, the dung is intended for their young.
The female shreds it carefully and refashions it into a pear shape in which the egg is laid. On hatching, the larva has a readily available source of food which it quickly eats before changing into an adult.
The scarab beetle parents go to a lot of trouble to provide a handy food supply for their young. The larvae have no worries about setting out on dangerous feeding expeditions and they are very secure and well protected in their own underground larders.
A lot of effort is involved in providing for the young in this way but the method is very successful. The female does not usually lay more than four eggs in a year.
How does the antlion larva catch ants?
In contrast to the graceful beauty of the adult insect, the Larva of the lion bears a pair of cruel-looking jaws and catches ants and small spiders in a most ingenious way. (It is the behavior of the larva that gives the insect its name.) The small, fat creature carefully digs a steep-sided, conical pit in dry, sandy soil in a sheltered spot.
The pit is about 3 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep and so forms quite a treacherous obstacle for any passing ant or other small insects. Alerted by dislodged grains of sand, the antlion larva immediately appears from hiding at the bottom of the pit.
It frantically scoops up sand on to its head and in a jerking movement flings it at its prey. The ant is usually bowled over by this onslaught and, losing its footing, tumbles down the sides of the pit to be pounced on and devoured by the antlion.
There are over 600 species of antlions, several species occurring in the United States and some in southern Asia, but not all dig pits to trap their prey.

Sunshine Girls coach to be named soon
Communications director of Netball Jamaica (NJ) Wayne Lewis said that the organisation will be moving very swiftly in naming the coaches of the national senior women's team.
The contracts of both Sasher-Gaye Henry and Marvette Anderson, who were both named interim coaches last July, following the resignation of the Jermaine Allison-McCracken, expired at the end of December.
The outspoken Lewis told The Gleaner that the association would be meeting very soon in a bid to discuss the coaching situation.
"It is very important because it is a very integral part of the setup in the preparations for the girls for the Commonwealth Games and the Quad series," said Lewis.
"It is a pity that is has not been settled already in terms of confirming the coach," he said.
Lewis added: "However, we have not met as a board since the annual general meeting (AGM) in December, and we are looking forward to meeting, so we are just waiting on the president to set the date for the [continuation of last month's] AGM in January in order for us to settle on this."
Henry, who was Allison-McCracken's assistant, along with Anderson, guided the Sunshine Girls to silver at the Fast5 Netball World Series, which was held in Melbourne, Australia, last October.
The Sunshine Girls' silver-medal performance came following their disappointing 1-1 series draw against Barbados on homesoil in April.
Lewis said Henry, a former national player, and Anderson, a veteran local coach, have shown that they have to ability to guide the team in the right direction and he expects the organisation to extend their contracts.
"I can't imagine that there will be any issue around extending the coaches' contracts because these coaches have certainly done well since they took over, so I don't see a reason why there will be any issue selecting these coaches," Lewis said.
The Sunshine Girls, who are ranked fourth in the world, are set to resume training in the coming days as they continue their preparations for the Quad Series, which will be held from March 21 to 24 in New Zealand, and the Commonwealth Games from April 4 to 15 in Australia.

Well, you can imagine the kind of threat that would cause Nick Fury, Coulson and Agent Hill to bring this group of demented and brilliant individuals together. The threat is going to cause everybody to get pushed past the limits of anything we've ever seen.

How to Choose a Ballroom Dance Studio
Dancing is one of the vigorous activities that people do in the world today. This is activities like running but just that one is confined in a room. In that case the room should be conducive enough to offer the right environment for the dancers. The up and down movement for the dancers risks them to injuries especially for the knees and the joints due to the pressure exerted on them. Here are some of the factors to be considered when choosing the best kind of ballroom studio for your dance.
The very first thing that should come into your mind is the kind of flooring in the room. You see when dancing one is able to move up and down many times which brings about a lot of pressure. This pressure is mostly felt on the knees and even the bones. For you to prevent injuries in such a case you will require to wear shoes that have a good cushioning that allows for that. With that you will find some dances have very light shoes specifically meant for them and therefore not much shock can be absorbed through them and that leaves the work to be done by the floors. This is why you will find that most dance floors have a high density kind of cushioning on them which helps in shock absorbing in this case. You can also learn more on how to choose the right dance studio by checking out the post at
Then you will need to look at the kind of a dance that you want to train. We have also sometimes looking at the age of those who want to be trained is important. For children, there is a need for the teacher to be more attentive to each one of them and that is why the smaller classes will be better than the very huge ones that accommodate many people at once. You will also need to look for the level of dance moves that you are in already in the given case,

Dance is an art which the classes just try to improve on the skills. Many of the people who participate in dancing tend to have the zeal yo have dance moves as well as others it is their hobbies.

Unfortunately, it's a little difficult when your dates keep getting interrupted by a bunch of slobbering Undead.
Things are about to get even more complicated for Megan. Someone in school is using black magic to turn average, angsty Undead into flesh-eating Zombies, and it's looking like homecoming will turn out to be a very different kind of party. The bloody kind.
Megan must stop the Zombie apocalypse descending on Carol, Arkansas. Her life and more importantly, homecoming depends on it.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this modern, quirky twist on the traditional zombie tale! My favourite character was Megan. Despite her amazing abilities to control (and help) the dead, she remains determined to have a "normal" life outside of her Zombie Settler duties. I really like the cover of this book as it reflects the story within, without being too cliché.

JESUS Film at Ephrata Mini Mart
Ephrata, PA
Edited from JESUS Film Harvest Partners (JFHP) Ambassador Newsletter excerpt
Julie Alexander, one of our energetic JFHP Ambassadors serves in her Ephrata, PA community. Ever since Julie heard about the JFHP ministry, she's wanted to get involved. Eventually she did and went on a trip to take JESUS Film equipment to Zambia, Africa. While there she wondered how the JESUS Film could be shown back in the USA.
Her home church in Ephrata had started an outreach ministry in the downtown main street area in front of a mini-mart store. Julie approached the owner asking if her church could show the JESUS Film in front of his store. To her amazement, the owner, not a follower of Christ, said they could show the film.
They showed the JESUS Film for children one evening each month and the owner came outside to watch! He told his customers they must go out and watch the film. The showing was a simple set up with a screen and project on Main Street. Traffic crept by as people tried to see what's being shown; pedestrians stopped to ask why they were showing this movie; prayers were lifted up for broken people who shared their struggles and burdens; and Jesus and His story ministered to them all.
Things you need to do something similar:
- Permission to show the film in a public location
- Projector
- Screen
- JESUS Film or The Story of JESUS for Children
- To order a copy of the JESUS Film DVD go to Order JESUS Film DVD
For information about being a JESUS Film Harvest Partners volunteer Ambassador, contact John Cunningham at 913-663-5700 or email@example.com.

6 Foods to Stop Eating Immediately
5. Products with white flour
What's so bad about white flour? It's actually one of the most dangerous processed foods that you can eat. White flour is the result of taking something wholesome and nourishing and refining it into something that the body doesn't recognize. It's then loaded with chemicals, deodorizers and bleaching agents, all chemicals that I'd never want anywhere near my body.
Consuming white flour is actually very taxing to our pancreas. Diabetes, obesity and an overall increased storage of fat have all been linked to the consumption of white flour products.

The EPA on Monday has increased the number of contaminated sites its screening for potential renewable energy use from 24,000 to 66,000.
The EPA's RE-Powering America's Land Initiative, launched in 2008, encourages development of renewable energy on potentially contaminated land, landfills and mine sites when supported by local communities.
"We see responsible renewable energy development on contaminated lands and landfills as a win-win-win for the nation, local communities and the environment," said Mathy Stanislaus, assistant administrator for the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. "In President Obama's Climate Action Plan, the administration set a goal to double renewable electricity generation by 2020. By identifying the renewable energy potential of contaminated sites across the country, these screening results are a good step toward meeting national renewable energy goals in order to address climate change, while also cleaning up and revitalizing contaminated lands in our communities."
Pulling from EPA databases of potentially and formerly contaminated lands, as well as partnering with state agencies from California, Hawaii, Oregon, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, West Virginia, and Virginia, the RE-Powering Initiative expanded the number of sites from 24,000 to more than 66,000.
Working in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energys National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), RE-Powering developed screening criteria for solar, wind, biomass and geothermal potential at various levels of development. The sites are tracked by EPA and selected state agencies.
For solar energy alone, EPA identified more than 10,000 contaminated sites with the potential to install a 300 kW solar array or greater. Based on mapped acreage, these sites could cumulatively host solar energy systems that capture greater than 30 times more solar energy than all renewable energy systems currently operating in the United States.
The RE-Powering Initiative supports the transformation of liabilities into assets for surrounding communities. Since RE-Powerings inception, more than 70 renewable energy projects have been installed on contaminated lands or landfills.
"These early projects represent more than 200 MW of installed capacity, which could power approximately 30,000 homes, and provide a foundation for future development as demonstrations of the latest technologies in both renewable energy and remediation design," the EPA said.

Michigan No-Fault Insurance Benefits Lawsuit Against Grange Insurance
Our car accident in Michigan lawyers recently filed a Michigan No-Fault lawsuit for a client in the Wayne County Circuit Court against Grange Insurance Company. The case arises out of a multivehicle accident that occurred on the Davison Highway in the city of Detroit. The client was a driver involved in the accident and sustained new injuries, as well as, an aggravation to old injuries. The client had auto insurance coverage with Grange Insurance Company for no-fault insurance benefits.
Grange Insurance denied the accident victim's Michigan No-Fault benefits based upon its contention that the client's injuries did not arise out of the car accident and that the treatment was not auto accident related. Prior to the accident the client was actively treating for lower back pain, which was aggravated in the accident; but the client also injured her upper back and neck, which was a new injury. The client is a registered nurse and was actively working prior to the accident, but as a result of the injuries from the accident, has been unable to return to work.
The lawsuit claims that Grange Insurance Companies denial was unreasonable as Grange failed to acknowledge the aggravation to the client's pre-existing condition, as well as, her new injuries. The suit seeks all unpaid benefits as well as attorney's fees and interest incurred due to the filing of the lawsuit. No trial date has been set by the court.

Album Review: The Charlatans - Who We Touch
Madchester vets fail to keep the momentum going on album number eleven
Twenty years since their debut album '[b]Some Friendly[/b]' catapulted the Northwich upstarts right to the top of the UK charts, [a]The Charlatans[/a] have cemented their status as the most durable of their Madchester-era peers. Buoyed by a surge of interest in their anniversary shows, '[b]Who We Touch[/b]' should be their moment to gambol over to the spotlight and shine. It starts well, with '[b]Love Is Ending[/b]' kicking in with a firestorm of [a]Buzzcocks[/a] guitars and a power-pop chorus. Once the dust dies down, though, the remainder of '[b]Who We Touch[/b]' feels disappointingly timid in comparison, and the particularly saggy middle section sees them pitch their tent smack bang in the middle of the road.

The principle point of all the projects at Lab of Misfits including our apps is to enable people to see themselves see or, to put it another way, to place people in the position of experiencing themselves literally making sense of the world.
And how better to do this than to experience one sense light in terms of another sense sound, or vice versa. Building on our research into virtual synaesthesia (the creation of artificial synaesthetic experiences), we have developed apps to help you do just that. And, in the process, we hope that you will see life differently, which in turn creates new possibility for thinking and doing and playing.
What does the visual world sound like? Could you navigate through a coloured space using only your ears? What kinds of new games could you create if only you had a device that turns lightness into sound?
Our SoundSeeer app lets you do all three and more. The application was developed for Lab of Misfits' first i,scientistprogramme, and is a collaboration between Lab of Misfits and Mick Griersons lab at Goldsmiths University.
To download SoundSeeer, click here
Bing Bong
The aim of this game is to keep a ball from hitting the ground by either catching it or bouncing it on your paddle. Except, in this game, you cant see the ball you can only hear it. Bing Bong, then, enables you to hear your visual world and in doing so see life differently. (Headphones required.).
To download Bing Bong, click here
Musical images
Imagine being able to take a picture of your friend, and then compose music from the colours of their face. Now you can, with the Musical Images app developed by Lab of Misfits. Indeed, Musical Images lets you turn any image into sound. Whether that sound is musical is really up to you and your creativity.
The intrigue of this app is the ability to interact with images in a different way, to think about images not as representations of the world but as abstract information where new relationships are there to be discovered and created. By taking images of the world and playing with them in sound, the structures in the images a persons face, a landscape, etc lose their historical meaning, and instead become both a musical instrument and score. In doing this, the person playing with the programme actually takes on the role of observing themselves creating new and meaningful relationships that previously didnt exist which we call seeing yourself see.

Musical Images is also available as a web app. More

Honey & Beeswax Soaps - Shop
Shop Home > Honey & Beeswax Soaps
All our soaps are made by the the traditional cold process method which combines oils, butters and beeswax and saponifies them (I love that word and had to get it in somehow!) Honey and essential oils (or fragrance oils) are added and sometimes pumice, clays or oatmeal and the liquid soap is poured into moulds to gel and set. After 48 hours the soap is turned out, handcut and left to cure on our soap racks for 4 - 6 weeks before being handwrapped.
This creates a gentle and mild soap that lathers fantastically and can be used as a shampoo or even for shaving!
Due to their handmade nature, the soaps may differ slightly from the images shown. As the soaps are handcut the weights will vary slightly.

Our soaps are wrapped in greaseproof paper and brown paper because we think they look great, and because its environmentally friendly

Defence Housing Australia (DHA) is one of the country's most successful Government Business Enterprises, established in 1988 to provide housing and related services to Defence members and their families; but we don't just build houses we build communities.
We are committed to creating vibrant, healthy and sustainable communities that bring Defence members and new home owners together in places they are proud to call home.
Our development program is a lifecycle
It begins with the development of a housing precinct and the construction of residential dwellings. Then, the members and their families arrive. The precinct becomes a community and the dwelling becomes a home. It's about place-making.
When planning a new development, we look beyond the front yard. We walk down the street and along the footpaths. We play in the parks, run on the ovals and help kids cross the street safely. Our role is important – we are charged with creating a place for families to call home.
As families grow and change, their needs change too. So, DHA changes with them: from apartments to a house with a yard – to a townhouse and perhaps back to an apartment again. Our portfolio is as vast and diverse as the families that call our developments home.
We fulfill this vision through a significant land-acquisition and construction program.
Residential developments
We're active in the residential development industry across Australia.
We've gone green
We're committed to designing and constructing sustainable housing. All of our homes are built to achieve a minimum six star Energy Efficiency Rating.
We focus on five key areas
· low energy consumption
· low water consumption
· effective waste management
· human wellbeing
· biodiversity of local flora and fauna.

It's tough finding great tech talent in New York. So when local startup Aviary found itself in the middle of a massive viral meme, they decided to leverage it for a little recruiting.
A year ago a cover letter arrived from Roanald Dvorak, a "devilishly handsome" go-getter who excelled at "doing shit." The joke mostly stayed within the Aviary office, until a few weeks ago when local hacker and entrepreneur Jonathan Wegener snapped a photo and tweeted it out.

Last Sunday April 10 2016, I met a couple of gay men on the street. They argued that their sexual orientation was born with. But I shared with them, none, that was their choice to continue to be gay. I told them that we were born of sins and are sinners. But among us, you choose to be gay to follow what the corrected nature is, but when I heard the gospel, I chose to follow Jesus Christ and want to be a better person in his eyes. It is 100% our choices that made us whom we are today.
They were speechless and argued that they were still born gay. I said to them, "even if that was true, you still have a choice. " "yes, we choose to be gay. and we love Satan." ' what do you know about him? " "he is tall, he has six packs, and..". I interrupted him, said to his partner, "Hi, what he desires you have none of them. you are not his type." The young man felt a little shy facing my teasing. "Satan does not love you. Nor he will be pleased by your desire over him." They took off as the other gay man was unhappy.
Father, forgive them as they did not know who you are nor who they are, but chose a life that pleases themselves. Forgive them so they might still have a chance to repent their sins. When they are blind, they can only sense this world and enjoy this world you created. I pray that one day you may open their eyes to see you and to know you and even may give their lives to you. I pray in the Name of precious Lord Yahuwshua, Son of Almighty G-d. Amen.
Called to serve, Called to stand, called to testify the Truth.
