On How We've Been Diverted.
Part 2 of Graham Power's interview for Voice For Children has been posted, and it can be watched here:
In the interview, Mr Power – Jersey's recently retired Chief of Police – makes some dramatic and very blunt observations on just what has taken place in Jersey – and just how the Ministers of Jersey's government have conducted themselves.
And in addition to Mr. Power's observations – I can reveal below, some simple, brief evidence that shows just how spin-doctoring the entire child abuse disaster was always the core – the central – objective and priority of Jersey's public authorities.
In the interview, when referring to the fact that so much time has been spent focusing on allegations against the police investigation, instead of on the child abuse, Graham Power says:
"We've all fallen into a trap….we've all fallen for it again……we're talking about the abuse inquiry – and not talking about the abuse……… You've got to give Ministers credit where it's due. They have very skilfully and very successfully deflected the agenda……"
"…..The agenda has to be brought back – to talking about the abuse……..because if you follow some of the accounts given by some of the victims – you are dealing with what is effectively state-sponsored paedophilia that occurred over decades."
Mr. Power goes on to say:
"What is particularly disturbing is the number of people who I recall said – "look, I drew this to the attention of the police, I drew this to the attention of the authorities. It was all swept under the carpet, nothing was done about it. Too many of the offenders were too well connected, they knew enforcement people, and it was just made sure that I wouldn't get any justice.""
Of course – those observations are correct. Making a huge – diversionary – "controversy" – usually based upon nothing of any substance – is one of the text-book devices in the armoury of the propagandist – or spin-doctor, as we call them today.
It is a common and favoured tactic of the Jersey oligarchy. For example, regular readers could cast their minds back to the summer of 2007, when I first exposed the systemic failure of Jersey's public authorities to protect vulnerable children. What was the big, high-profile, "issue" then? The "story" that consumed the Jersey media – with undiluted focus?
Not the fact that here were many evidenced examples of concealed – recent – child abuse. Nor that here was the government of Jersey – in the 21st century – oppressing a Social Services Minister for trying to protect children.
No – "the story" was – 'how terrible – that this dreadful politician was "undermining staff morale" – by holding them to account for failing to protect children.'
So yes, it is easy for any thinking person to see just how the real – the important – issues, can be hidden beneath a load of fake, manufactured diversionary spin.
But as important as it is to not lose focus on the core issue – we also need to recognise and understand just how it is we have been manipulated.
Because the vast child abuse cover-up by Jersey's public authorities did not happen by accident.
It didn't even happen through only the collusions of a few low-grade spivs.
It was planned – it was calculated.
You paid for it: – by – involuntarily – employing people like Cathy Keir:
Cathy Keir.
Cathy Keir is the very expensive spin-doctor employed by the Jersey Chief Minister's department.
She worked for Frank Walker. She works for Terry Le Sueur.
A former BBC Jersey – and BBC South-West hack.
Some readers may remember the news footage from when Walker decided – at the height of the Jersey child abuse controversy – to call a press-conference – for the sole purpose of lying about me, in an attempt to disguise his inadequacy and the utter failure of his leadership in respect of something so rudimentary as opposing child abuse.
I was asked to attend by the international media, and attempts were made to remove me by one of the Jersey oligarchy's thugs, including the snatching of chairs from my hands, before I was able to sit down.
Walker predictably lacked the courage to have a head-on debate with me, and ran away after a couple of perfunctory questions from the journalists.
The event was a shaming disaster for Jersey's public authorities. No respectable government on the face of the planet would have acted in such a way, at such a time.
This disastrous and ill-judged PR stunt was the idea of Cathy Keir.
Although the full, bleak horror of it doesn't come across on the film – an abiding memory of the occasion was the spectacle of one of Keir's subordinates shouting at – and interrupting – internationally respected journalists – and trying to tell them what they could – or could not – ask her beloved leader, Frank Walker.
The journalists, behind the cameras, just kept turning their heads, to look at each other, with expressions of wide-eyed disbelief at the amateurish and tasteless conduct of the Keir PR strategy.
Jersey tax-payers fund her – and the entire spin-doctoring operation that has so "very skilfully and very successfully deflected the agenda."
A good use of your hard-earned taxes?
But the spin-doctoring and manipulation didn't stop back then.
Let me invite readers to cast their minds back to the despicable episode when Graham Power was subjected to what has since been confirmed as an unlawful suspension.
November 2008 – a matter of a few days – terribly conveniently – before the election of 29 members of the Jersey parliament. What better timing – to help "persuade" confused voters that all of this "fuss" about child abuse was just some "nonsense" dreamt-up by an "out-of-control" police force?
What better way to convince Jersey voters – just at this crucial moment that – actually – the traditional oligarchy politicians were reliable after all – and weren't responsible for the corrupt and wicked concealment of decades of child abuse?
So Graham Power was subjected to an immediate suspension – with the absolute abandonment of due-process – and with no opportunity to defend himself.
But – according to the Jersey oligarchy – and in particular, people like Frank Walker and Andrew Lewis – the suspension 'simply had to be conducted immediately'.
I'm sure anyone who has followed the matter will remember – vividly – just how it was repeated – again – and again – that the suspension enacted against the Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police Force was an "emergency" decision – "taken in only the preceding 24 hours or so", because of "the sudden receipt" of some supposedly critical report.
Of course – other revelations and published evidence have since shown that that "official" version of events to be false; Frank walker and Andrew Lewis have been proven to be liars; Bill Ogley and David Warcup proven to be crooks.
But – here is another dimension to the whole – disgusting and reprehensible – saga.
I publish below an e-mail from the Jersey Chief Minister's spin-doctor – Cathy Keir.
The e-mail was written to convey the States of Jersey policy on "precautionary suspensions".
The "precautionary suspension" under consideration was that to be conducted against Graham Power.
This – on the 24th September – 2008 – nearly two months before the illegal suspension committed upon Jersey's legitimate, good Police Chief was carried out.
Nearly two months – before the supposed "sudden" and "emergency" suspension was enacted.
Setting aside the obvious questions – of just how it was your government – your politicians – were able to lie to you – to your parliament, by falsely stating the unlawful action against Graham Power had 'NOT' been long-planned, and was instead an "emergency" action – ask another question;
A very simple question wich will be immediately & strikingly obvious to any thinking person: –
'Just what the hell is a SPIN-DOCTOR doing – being involved – AT LEAST TWO MONTHS EARLIER – in plotting and conspiring to unlawfully remove from authority your Chief of Police?'
Ponder that question – and you might begin to understand a little more clearly – just why the Jersey government Ministers "have very skilfully and very successfully deflected the agenda".
Or – to be a little more accurate – just how were the spin-doctors able – and at what embezzlement of public-money – to mug your cretin politicians into going along with it?

Interview with Graham Power QPM:
A Chief Constable
And Citizen's Media.
Graham Power, the recently retired Chief Constable of the States of Jersey Police Force, has been extensively interviewed by Jersey citizens' media site, Voice For Children.
Mr. Power is the first Chief of Police in the history of Jersey to take a professional, rigorous view of the need to enforce child protection.
He was also the first – and so far, only – Chief of Police in the island of Jersey to recognise the role of the police as to fairly and objectively enforce the law – especially in ways that protect the weak from the strong – rather than to simply ignore the great mass of serious crime engaged in by Jersey's traditional ruling elite and their vassals.
A very stark truth is revealed about Jersey's authorities – in the fact that Mr. Power became the first ever Jersey Chief of Police to be suspended – suspended unlawfully.
Only in Jersey could an organisation under very serious criminal investigation – the States of Jersey – "solve" that "problem" – by simply suspending the Police Chief.
Similar, in many ways, to the fact that the Jersey parliament became the only legislature on the face of the planet – that would sack a Social Services Minister – for trying to protect vulnerable children.
As has been observed so many times before, Jersey's public authorities – and the entrenched local oligarchy who control them – constitute little short of a de facto mafia.
But as with criminal regimes around the world – the Jersey oligarchy is threatened by the democratisation of media.
Graham Power – and the citizens' media of Jersey – are making British history.
When else has no less a figure than a nationally respected Chief Constable, willingly engaged with a few ordinary citizens with laptops – in order to fight a corrupt and lawless local political regime?
And is it not truly remarkable – that the ordinary people of Jersey and elsewhere cannot find this kind of dynamite reportage in any of the traditional media?
Not even the BBC – who have a bloated, expensive operation in Jersey, that produces remarkably little quality output for that resource.
Here is the link to part 1 of the interview with Graham Power QPM.
The gravity and implications of what Mr. Power says will be clear to any thinking person.

One Law for their side,
Another for the rest of us.
Here's a link to a second interview I did for Voice For Children.
I have been interviewed by Voice for Children.
It can be watched here:
Is it possible in Jersey?
If you are poor?
Or on the "wrong" side?
Read the informed opinion of one Jersey Advocate.
Regular readers will know that following the Jersey oligarchy destroying my career through illegal repression by what passes for a criminal 'justice' apparatus in Jersey – they remain determined to jail me for a lengthy period of time – for the unpardonable 'crime' of trying to protect my former constituents from rape, serial-killer rogue nurses and child abusers.
Throughout this oppression – I have had to resist the full, unlimited might of Jersey's politicised prosecution and judicial oligarchy without legal representation.
The thought occurred to me some time ago, that as this war has to be fought – I would use the opportunity to achieve as many broad advances for ordinary people as possible. One of those would be finally securing affordable – and effective – legal representation for all who need it.
To that end, I'm challenging the current law that guarantees a monopoly to Jersey lawyers. At present, if you need a lawyer to represent you in a Jersey court – you cannot, for example, employ an English barrister to speak on your behalf. Only a Jersey Advocate enjoys 'rights-of-audience' before Jersey courts.
I wrote about this subject in some detail in my blog-posting of the 4th January, titled 'Legal Representation in Jersey'.
Predictably enough – the Jersey Law Society – the lawyer's union – are mobilising against my legal challenge, and to that end recently wrote to all their members.
However – at least one Jersey lawyer – Advocate Philip Sinel – understands why I should have felt it necessary to challenge the present exclusive right of Jersey lawyers to practice before Jersey courts.
Reproduced in full, below, is Advocate Sinel's response to the Jersey Law Society.
It amounts to a damning critique of the present – inadequate – system of 'legal aid' in Jersey – and of the deep and predictable hostility of the judicial establishment – towards anyone who upsets them.
Essentially – Advocate Sinel says that any Jersey lawyer – even if I could afford one – that did, by some chance, represent me effectively, would incur lasting hostility from the judicial establishment. He says: –
"The inevitable consequence of making a proper job of Mr Syvret's representation would be to engender discrimination and hostility from the judiciary and others in this jurisdiction for evermore."
That is – of course – true.
And we all know it.
Advocate Sinel points out – by way of contrast – that Baker & Partners are being paid a very substantial amount of public money to prosecute me. He also asks just how much public money has been channelled each year to the UK legal chambers of 7 Bedford Row – the pet legal practice of the Jersey judicial establishment?
7 Bedford Row being, of course, the legal chambers from which Advocate Stephen Baker originated.
Advocate Sinel's letter is reproduced below – and it, and its publication, are of great significance to the cause of justice in Jersey.
What Advocate Sinel has written will, of course, infuriate many people in the Jersey establishment. But he is no political revolutionary; on the contrary, he is a very successful commercial litigation lawyer. The profound irony of the situation is that, if only a few more successful figures from law and finance in Jersey had exhibited the wisdom and courage displayed by Advocate Sinel in stating obvious – but usually unspoken truths – the Jersey establishment would never have got itself in the damaging and disastrous mess it now faces.
After all – is it really so 'radical' – or ' dangerous' – to expect effective political opposition – and reasonable access to effective legal representation – and a non-politicised judiciary – and some meaningful funding for legal aid – in a modern, 21st century, democratic society?
By E-mail and Post:
Advocate Jane Martin
The Law Society of Jersey
PO Box 493
St. Helier
3rd March 2011
Dear Advocate Martin
You sent recently a letter to the profession, asking for details of the numbers of Advocates, because you had been called upon to assist the Court, presided over by Sir Christopher Pitchers, in relation to allegations made by former Senator Syvret, as to the inadequacy of resource available to Defendants in this jurisdiction. Your email made reference to our exclusive rights of audience being under attack.
I very much hope that you will be presenting Sir Christopher with a balanced and accurate picture of the position. My views on this matter include at least the matters following.
Those responsible for upholding civil liberties in this jurisdiction are almost exclusively members, of what I might term, the Criminal Bar. As crime is almost completely unremunerated this acts as a profound disincentive. The fact that monies are not made available under the legal aid system for the majority of criminal cases has, to my mind, a severely detrimental effect upon calibre of representation and the amount of choice (frequently none at all) afforded to Defendants in criminal trials.
I would now like to move on if I may, to the specifics of former Senator Syvret's position. It is unlikely that anyone would want to act for Mr Syvret on legal aid or, for that matter, privately. The position is that the Government has a blank cheque in respect of its use of tax payers' monies, not that the tax payer has been consulted, and it can spend hundreds of thousands, or indeed millions, on this prosecution.
Any member of a firm obtaining a legal aid slip for the defence has in effect immediately won the lottery in reverse. The costs of providing legal representation to former Senator Syvret would be prohibitive and would remove hundreds of thousands of pounds from the relevant firm's balance sheet. To which I must add that any practitioner who dealt with the realities of that case, in the manner that they should be dealt with, would of course highlight inefficiencies, if not worse, within the system of Government in Jersey.
My experience of such actions is that they lead inevitably to judicial discrimination and persecution of the practitioner (see for example Mayo v Cantrade [1998] JLR 173 and [1998] JLR 106), Sinel v Batonnier [2000] JLR 93 and Sinel v Horsfall [1997] JLR 41. Thus it is that any person acting for former Senator Syvret would be intimidated before they started, and if they were not intimidated, that would point to an absence of perspicacity on their behalf. The inevitable consequence of making a proper job of Mr Syvret's representation would be to engender discrimination and hostility from the judiciary and others in this jurisdiction for evermore.
It might perhaps at this stage be wise if the whole of the profession thought through the consequences of the system that we presently work under, namely that those who could, and indeed would and should, fulfil an important and legitimate function within our Society are deterred by at least the factors set out above. To which we must of course add that the Crown have unlimited resources in relation to any prosecution, to which the Defendants have no access. The prosecution have the Police, the Defendants do not have private detectives or a budget for intelligence gathering, or for that matter external Counsel. To my mind, the system in Jersey is a very long way from providing an equality of arms or anything akin to it. Likewise there is no provision for providing senior members of the Bar to those accused of serious crimes, or where points of universal application arise.
I also request by this letter that you ascertain from the relevant authorities how much of the tax payers' money is paid to Number 7 Bedford Row every year and what the rationale for those payments is. It seems to me that a lot of money is being paid abroad, therefore it does not go into the local economy and, in particular, it bypasses the local legal profession when those monies could be better directed to growing and remunerating our colleagues.
In relation to former Senator Syvret, the question that he is raising with the Court, upon which you wrote to the profession, would not have been raised at all had he been given the ability to choose a suitably competent and qualified remunerated lawyer. His request to that end was flatly refused by Advocate Fitz.
Mr Syvret made through me a request of those responsible for providing funding in this jurisdiction, that a budget be made available for legal representation so as to give him some form of equality of arms (for a number of reasons, I did not do so on the basis that it would be this firm that necessarily represented him, as I felt that he should properly be able to look at a reasonable number of alternatives, including those who have more of a criminal practice than those in this firm). He was denied access to any funds in marked contrast to others. As I have said before, the Government is clearly paying a very great deal of tax payers' money in relation to this prosecution to Baker and Partners.
The other point of concern in relation to this matter is this; that a number of the charges brought against former Senator Syvret relate to the manner in which he utilised information which he gained whilst fulfilling his function as an elected representative of the people of the Island in order to criticise the Government. Cases of that nature necessarily raise matters which are of great public interest and of universal application, it would be of the benefit of the Island if Mr Syvret was in receipt of an appropriate degree of legal assistance.
I very much hope that you will take this opportunity to publicise the need for us to nurture and protect our own and that we will not be saying that all is well. All is not well within the Island or within the profession.
There are many good reasons to preserve our exclusive rights of Advocacy if we can properly serve the Island's interests.
As the recent case In the matter of MM [2011] JRC 002 demonstrates, we cannot yet attend our own affairs competently. We are a long way from becoming that positive force for legal and judicial evolution which we could and should be. That long journey should start by addressing the present position with candour.
Yours sincerely
Advocate Philip Sinel.

The topic is a delicate one that has already generated controversy, even though a formal draft of the proposed recommendations, due out from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by the end of the year, has yet to be released.
Experts are also considering whether the surgery should be offered to adult heterosexual men whose sexual practices put them at high risk of infection. But they acknowledge that a circumcision drive in the United States would be unlikely to have a drastic impact: the procedure does not seem to protect those at greatest risk here, men who have sex with men.
Recently, studies showed that in African countries hit hard by AIDS, men who were circumcised reduced their infection risk by half. But the clinical trials in Africa focused on heterosexual men who are at risk of getting HIV from infected female partners.
For now, the focus of public health officials in this country appears to be on making recommendations for newborns, a prevention strategy that would only pay off many years from now. Critics say it subjects baby boys to medically unnecessary surgery without their consent.
Clinical trials in Kenya, South Africa and Uganda found that heterosexual men who were circumcised were up to 60 percent less likely to become infected with HIV over the course of the trials than those who were not circumcised.
Members of Intact America oppose circumcision on broad philosophical and medical grounds, Ms. Chapin argued that the studies in Africa found only that circumcision reduces HIV infection risk, not that it prevents infection. "Men still need to use condoms," Ms. Chapin said.
In fact, while the clinical trials in Africa found that circumcision reduced the risk of a man's acquiring HIV, it was not clear whether it would reduce the risk to women from an infected man, several experts said.
"There's mixed data on that," Dr. Kilmarx said. But, he said, "If we have a partially successful intervention for men, it will ultimately lower the prevalence of HIV in the population, and ultimately lower the risk to women."
Circumcision is believed to protect men from infection with H.I.V. because the mucosal tissue of the foreskin is more susceptible to HIV and can be an entry portal for the virus. Observational studies have found that uncircumcised men have higher rates of other sexually transmitted infections like herpes and syphilis, and a recent study in Baltimore found that heterosexual men were less likely to have become infected with HIV from infected partners if they were circumcised.

Newest leaks of whistleblower Edward Raincave reveal a new counter spy program of the citizens secret service Enigmabox: Teletext.
(TS//SI//REL) Teletext provides distributed mass protest coordination below the radar by implementing a Twitter like messaging system using cjdns addresses.
(TS//SI//REL) This technique supports users on writing telegrams and spreading out important information quickly to reach critical mass.
(TS//SI//REL) Through the distributed nature, Telegrams published on the Teletext system can not be censored, nor controlled. It is all end-to-end encrypted.
Status: Released / Deployed. Ready for Immediate Delivery
Unit Cost: $0
This programm allows everyone to publish telegrams, and subscribe to telegrams of other parties inside the cryptonetwork. Here's a screen how a new telegram is created:
Telegrams are character limited, but to 256 chars instead of only 140 at Twitter.
Telegrams of all subscriptions are shown in a timeline, just as in Twitter. The distribution of the messages is nearly real-time.
That is possible thanks to an asynchronous, event based Python server in combination with a fast in-memory work queue. The Server can answer up to 146 requests per second on the Enigmabox, consuming no more than 12m-15m memory.
You can also retransmit Telegrams. This way, important information can spread really fast - and completely undetected. Everything is end-to-end encrypted and distributed, censorship is impossible.
Here is the profile view:
Teletext allows internet citizens to find each other inside this encrypted network. They can discover new contacts and add them to their address book, and then exchange encrypted emails or have encrypted phone calls.
This feature has been released the night before yesterday to all Enigmaboxes and is ready to use.
Since Teletext provides a public reachable interface inside the cryptonetwork, it is disabled by default. You have to enable it in the admin interface to use it.

Haradok: neither voters, nor district commission aware of composition of precinct commissions
According to the election law of the Republic of Belarus and the Calendar Plan of the Election Events, precinct election commissions were to be created no later than August 13th. Decisions about creation of the precinct commissions, with indication of their membership lists, location, and contact phone numbers were to be published in local state media during 7 days from their creation.
On August 16th Haradokski Vestnik newspaper (funded by rayon executive committee and rayon Council of Haradok, Vitebsk region) published the decision of Haradok rayon executive committee "About creation of precinct election commissions for elections to the Chamber of Representatives of the 4th convocation". There was no reference to the number of the decision and the date it had been made.
The newspaper failed to publish the whole decision, publishing only 3 out of 34 (!) precinct election commissions. It was continued in the next issue on August 19th (# 64). The newspaper published lists of 14 more precinct election commissions. Still, the lists of the other 17 precinct commissions were not made available for the voters. The next issue of Haradokski Vestnik newspaper is to come out only on August 23rd.
On August 21st member of Vitebsk rural district commission # 21 Vadzim Vishneuski explained, the commission did not have the lists and recommended the monitors to address the rayon executive committee. That way we come to conclusion the lists of precinct election commissions were not available not only for voters, but also for the district election commission.
On August 21st monitor Pavel Levinau complained about those violations to the Central Election Commission.

John Landgraf may well be the smartest man in television. But is he biting off more than he can chew?
The head of the Los Angeles-based FX Network took the neglected outpost of the Fox Entertainment Group and turned it into a major player with edgy and critically acclaimed shows such as The Shield, Sons of Anarchy and The Americans.
As his reward, his masters at News Corp have given him licence to start not one, but two additional channels: FXX, which will debut on Rogers in Canada next January, and FXM, a movie channel.
Now he's in major expansion mode, announcing that he will ramp up original programming to an unprecedented scale for a basic cable network, going from about a dozen original series to 25, essentially matching the creative output of legacy networks such as NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX.
"It represents a massive investment and the trick is to ensure that we retain a boutique quality, a craftsmanlike approach," Landgraf said in an interview in Toronto at the Soho Club.
Unlike the networks, Landgraf has found remarkable success by going after niche viewers, narrowcasting his shows to appeal to specific audiences, rather than use the network strategy of trying to appeal to the broadest common denominator. And so far it has worked.
One reason that Landgraf has wide respect in the industry is that he's a former producer himself, with projects such as Friends, ER and The West Wing — proving that the bean counters have not completely taken over Hollywood. Rather than dabble with his showrunners, Landgraf is known for respecting creators.
But trying to maintain quality control over a larger empire will be problematic for a firm that has operated almost like an independent film company. As a result, Landgraf is casting his net wide. He's in Canada looking to collaborate with producers on new series development.
Canada is not unfamiliar territory to Landgraf. One of his most successful showrunners is Graham Yost, who produces Justified and The Americans.
And he's already a big investor here. Two of FX's most anticipated shows in development will be produced in Canada.
Director Guillermo del Toro's vampire epic The Strain is being shot in Toronto. Fargo, produced by Oscar-winning brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, and Noah Hawley, will also be shot in Canada. Landgraf says they are still scouting locations.
And this week he's meeting with Canadian producers to develop new product.
So what about an FX version of Saturday Night at the Movies, the long running and much loved series that is in its final season and was recently cancelled by TVO?
He already has an insider, since Yost is the son of the late Elwy Yost, who hosted the series that educated viewers with commentary on classic movies.
"I think that would be a cool idea," laughed Landgraf when asked about the possibility. "I've never asked Graham about it, if he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps. I think it might actually be a good fit for the FXM channel since it will be mainly showing movies."
Scott Moore, president of broadcast for Rogers Media, said he first met Landgraf in Los Angeles more than two years ago after viewing an episode of Wilfred, starring Elijah Wood as an introverted man in an unconventional relationship with his talking dog.
"I fell off my chair laughing and I knew I had to meet him," said Moore.
Moore took a gamble on the guy and partnered with the network.
(FX Canada is a division of Rogers Communications Inc.)
"They have such an incredible track record of producing unique, edgy shows that create a buzz," said Malcolm Dunlop, executive vice-president of programming and operations at Rogers, on the decision to pick up FXX in Canada.
FXX will appeal to the 18- to 34-year-old demographic, while movie channel FXM is targeted to the 25 to 54 audience. Rogers has not signed a deal so far to carry FXM.
"But you can't just stick a channel on the air and show the same stuff," says Landgraf. "You have to have original material that keeps people coming back."
Besides the Coen brothers' Fargo and del Toro's The Strain, Landgraf made some major programming announcements on Wednesday, including collaborations with some of the top filmmakers in Hollywood.
Some highlights to watch for:
- The Comedians, written by and starring Billy Crystal. The 30-minute comedy looks at a veteran comedian who is paired with a younger comedian for a late night show.
- How and Why: Academy Award winner Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) tells the story of a man who is clueless in life but has a brilliant mind.
- Grand Hotel: Produced by Sam Mendes (Skyfall, American Beauty) this limited series looks at a hotel in Paris that is the target of a terrorist attack
- The Bridge: Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds) stars in a buddy show about two detectives from Mexico and the U.S. who are forced to work together to track a serial killer.
- Returning series on FX include Wilfred, with Season 3. American Horror Story is also renewed, starring Kathy Bates and Jessica Lange. The biker drama Sons of Anarchy heads into Season 5 and The Americans has been renewed for a second season.

Implementing a CLR User Defined Function (UDF) in SQL 2008 R2 is very easy. Note that this code is not limited to 2008 R2 or UDFs, and implementing CLR stored procedures is just as simple.
The steps are as follows:
1) Create you class with all desired methods / functionality. Note that your classes and methods should be static!
2) Add appropriate attributes to the methods you want to utilize as CLR objects. For a UDF, you add the [SqlFunction] attribute. For a CLR stored procedure, you would use [SqlProcedure]. Note that these attributes are in the Microsoft.SqlServer.Server namespace.
3) It's considered best practice to install register your assembly with SQL Server using Partial Trust. To that end, you must Allow Partially Trusted Callers in your assembly's AssemblyInfo class. Do this my simply adding [assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers].
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server; namespace Demo.ClrUdf { public static class MyClrUdfClass { [SqlFunction] public static string HelloWorld() { return "giddyup"; } } }
using System.Reflection; using System.Runtime.CompilerServices; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; // General Information about an assembly is controlled through the following // set of attributes. Change these attribute values to modify the information // associated with an assembly. [assembly: AssemblyTitle("Demo.ClrUdf")] [assembly: AssemblyDescription("")] [assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")] [assembly: AssemblyCompany("Microsoft")] [assembly: AssemblyProduct("Demo.ClrUdf")] [assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright © Microsoft 2011")] [assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")] [assembly: AssemblyCulture("")] // Used becuase we're not giving the assemby full trust in SQL [assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers] // Setting ComVisible to false makes the types in this assembly not visible // to COM components. If you need to access a type in this assembly from // COM, set the ComVisible attribute to true on that type. [assembly: ComVisible(false)] // The following GUID is for the ID of the typelib if this project is exposed to COM [assembly: Guid("63b93754-c707-4610-b1f4-c6e5949c0a99")] // Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values: // // Major Version // Minor Version // Build Number // Revision // // You can specify all the values or you can default the Build and Revision Numbers // by using the '*' as shown below: // [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")] [assembly: AssemblyVersion("220.127.116.11")] [assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("22.214.171.124")]
4) Sign your assembly. The easiest way to do this is to use a new string key name file by right clicking on your project, click on the Signing Tab, and click Sign the assembly. This will create a PFX certificate in your project folder that is used to create the signature.
5) You're done with the assembly. Now on to SQL Server. First, you need to make sure that the CLR is enabled on the server.
-- First, run this to enable the CLR. This only has to be done once. sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO sp_configure 'clr enabled', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO
6) Next, you must install / register your assembly with SQL Server. This is simple.
-- Run this, changing the names and paths appropriately (path is relative to the server) -- Note the Safe permission set- this is best practice -- Thus, you must set "[assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers]" in your AssemblyInfo.cs (and all referenced assemblies -- Note that this will automatically register dependent / referenced assemblies USE [MyDatabase] CREATE ASSEMBLY DemoUserDefinedFunctions FROM 'D:\Demo\Demo.ClrUdf.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = SAFE --DROP ASSEMBLY DemoUserDefinedFunctions --SELECT * FROM sys.assemblies
7) Finally, Create the CLR UDF or CLR Stored Procedure. Here's an example of creating a UDF with the assembly we just registered. I used a simple Demo class for this blog, but I left one my of implementation of a real UDF in this sample so you can see how to pass parameters, etc. Note, the only thing that might trick you up a big is the return type of the methods. For strings, it has to support Unicode, so use nvarchar().
-- Enable the CLR if it isn't already done -- Register the assembly -- Change the names and parameters of the UDF appropriatley -- Input and output must match the method -- Note the SQL to CLR mappings are obviously important- string only maps to unicode so we'll have to convert in our packages USE [MyDatabase] SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO --CREATE FUNCTION EncryptUsernamePassword(@clearText nvarchar(255)) RETURNS nvarchar(255) --AS EXTERNAL NAME XXXUserDefinedFunctions.[XXX.Database.Clr.UserDefinedFunctions.XXXCryptography].EncryptUsernamePassword --GO CREATE FUNCTION HelloWorld() RETURNS nvarchar(255) AS EXTERNAL NAME DemoUserDefinedFunctions.[Demo.ClrUdf.MyClrUdfClass].HelloWorld GO -- DROP FUNCTION EncryptUsernamePassword
8) You're done. Just call your UDf or sproc from your T-SQL. EzPz.
Happy Coding,
Tom Hundley

However i just dont see how being told you can eat as much as you like (apart from the stuff you weigh) and having breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks can help you loose weight! It obviously does work though but how?

Special People Achieving Rich Knowledge and Success
The mission of the Noxubee County School District's Intellectually Gifted Program is to offer differentiated learning experiences to meet the special needs of the intellectually gifted learner.
S.P.A.R.K.S. is the Noxubee County School District's Intellectually Gifted Program, serving gifted students in second through sixth grades. The classroom for the gifted program is located at the Central Office Administrative Complex. The format of the gifted program is a one day per week, five hour pull-out program. At the end of each gifted class, students are transported back to their respective schools.
Students enrolled in the gifted program are from Earl Nash Elementary, B.F. Liddell Elementary and Wilson Elementary schools.
A blanket screening of all first grade students in the Noxubee County School District is conducted each spring in an effort to identify potential gifted students. Referrals for the gifted program can be made throughout the school year by contacting the Teacher of the Gifted (contact information listed below) or a child's classroom teacher.
Melinda Brown is the current Teacher of the Gifted for the Noxubee County School District. She has 29 years of teaching experience and has taught gifted education classes in Noxubee County for the past 14 years. She holds a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education from Mississippi State University and a Master's Degree in Gifted Studies from Mississippi University for Women. She is also a National Board Certified Teacher.
Framework for the Gifted Curriculum
Meeting the characteristics and needs of the intellectually gifted learner requires differential treatments in curriculum and instructional patterns of delivery. Because the intellectually gifted learner has special needs in both cognitive and affective areas, so must the curriculum. In working with the Mississippi Department of Education's suggested outcomes, we implement the following framework:
1. Thinking Skills
2. Creativity
3. Self-Directed Learning
4. Group Dynamics/Leadership
5. Communication
6. Research
7. Arts
Mississippi Association for Gifted Children - MAGC
National Association for Gifted Children - NAGC

Bethlehem is located about 5 miles / 8 kilometers southwest of Jerusalem in the hill country of Judea on the way to Hebron. It is believed to have existed at least 1,000 years before Christ was born.
Bethlehem figures in Bible History both before the Israelites entered Egypt and slavery, and after the Exodus and their return. Rachel, the favorite wife (he also had married her sister Leah) of Jacob/Israel is buried near Bethlehem.
The events of the Book Of Ruth take place in the region of Bethlehem. Ruth and Boaz were the great-grandparents of King David, who himself was born in Bethlehem. Bethlehem in effect became the official home-town of the line of David.
When the Roman emperor issued an order that a census be taken of the Roman Empire (see Ancient Empires - Rome), which then included the Roman-occupied land of Israel, each Israelite was required to go and register in his home town. Joseph, although then living in Nazareth up in Galilee, traveled down to Bethlehem to register because he was of the line of David. With him was his wife Mary, also of the house of David. It was of course shortly after their arrival in Bethlehem that Jesus was born.
"In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city."

If you've visited our website recently prior to our Brand Refresh launch, you may be encountering some browser caching issues. This may be causing the website to render incorrectly, should this be the case please follow these simple steps:
Try pressing 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + R'
⌘ 'Cmd + ⇧ + R'
Should the above not work, please follow this helpful browser guide. https://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.
- Do not use the same password for multiple accounts - if it is stolen it can be used to take over all of your accounts. Make it strong by using a mixture of upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. The longer it is, the better.
- Avoid using personal information, dictionary words and consecutive numbers as these can be guessed.
- Consider using a passphrase. For example, choose a song or phrase and take the first letter of each word, substitute in numbers and special characters. e.g. Tx2l*hIwwUR (decrypts as "twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are").
- Check the senders address. Scammers will typically spoof this but if it comes from someone you were not expecting an email from you should be suspicious.
- Phishing sites will go to great lengths to look believable. One of the ways they do this is by using an established logo. This gives you a sense of security as you trust the brand. Look for poor grammar and spelling errors as they could flag a potential scam.
- If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Most companies don't give amazing things out for free!
- Most phishing emails ask you to enter your details or click on a link. This is how they lure you into providing personal information and/or access to your computer to release malware or viruses. Don't click, just hover over the link to see where it directs you. This applies to UNSUBSCRIBE links also.
- Delete any phishing emails to protect yourself.
- Look for 'https' at the start of the web address (the 's' stands for secure).
- Check that a padlock is displayed when entering personal or financial information.
- A green bar may also appear which means that the website has a valid security certificate.
- Ensure you have anti-virus protection installed, and that it is up to date.
- Keep your operating system and software up to date as these protect against the latest security threats.
- Protect your computer with a complex password and keep the password secret. See the Password guidelines above.
If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
- Scams come in many guises; be it social media, email, phone calls, etc.
- Be suspicious if you are offered a deal, service or prize, especially if you are required to make a payment or provide personal details.
- Often the deals are only available for limited time periods, forcing you to make an instant decision.
Wi-Fi hotspots in public places are convenient, but often are not secure.
- Many hotspots do not encrypt information sent over the Wi-Fi network and your information could be accessed by someone else.
- Don't log in to personal or financial accounts when using public wireless networks.
- Don't log in to sites that don't seem legitimate. Always ensure the site is fully encrypted.
- When you have finished using an account, remember to log out.
Mobile devices are essentially small computers.
- Install anti-virus software to protect from 'malware' (malicious software).
- Protect your mobile with a password or PIN.
- Keep your apps up to date.
- Ensure the physical security of your devices. Don't leave them visible in cars etc.
- As you leave airports, hotels, ensure you have your devices. You are more likely to lose them than have them stolen.
- Assume that any public network (free Wi-Fi etc.) is untrustworthy.
- Avoid using public computers (hotel lobbies, cafes) as you don't know who has been using them before you. If you must use a public computer don't use services that require you to log in or submit passwords.
Treat your personal information like cash.
- Don't hand personal information out to just anyone.
- Only provide this information over encrypted websites (look for 'https' at the beginning of the web address).
- Use password protection for securing personal data.
- Protect your passwords. Keep them secure and out of plain sight.
- Do not use the same password for multiple accounts, as if it is stolen it can be used to take over all your accounts.

Jaguar Land Rover's InControl Touch Pro uses DiSTI's GL Studio user interface software in Jaguar Land Rover models including the XJ, XF, XE, F- Pace, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar, Evoque, Evoque Convertible, and Discovery. GL Studio allows the design team to easily tailor the user experience for each of its models based on the model and driver experience they want to evoke. Jaguar's flagship luxury sedan, the XJ features a dynamic and luxurious driving experience. The F-Pace is the first Jaguar luxury performance SUV. The world's first luxury compact SUV convertible, the 2017 Land Rover Evoque Convertible features the next-generation InControl Touch Pro infotainment suite.
Designed to minimize driver distraction, the simple and intuitive InControl Touch Pro system delivers a responsive driving experience. The connected car multimedia system allows drivers to use natural motion gestures to stay seamlessly connected to both media and navigation systems customizable to each driver's desires.
Jaguar Land Rover selected DiSTI's GL Studio from a total of 28 competing Human Machine Interface (HMI) tools after a 14 month evaluation process to develop the graphical user interface for the Jaguar InControl Touch Pro infotainment system in all their models. Jaguar Land Rover adopted and standardized on DiSTI's GL Studio toolkit for its unmatched performance, rapid support, and ability to produce feature rich high quality 3D embedded applications.
"The Jaguar Land Rover evaluation process was the most rigorous and thorough examination of embedded system UI design software that I've experienced in my 18-year career in the HMI industry. It really highlights the commitment to quality that JLR expects from its' partners and DiSTI's capability to deliver on that promise," said Christopher P. Giordano, Cp.E., Vice President- Automotive Division.
Jaguar Land Rover used GL Studio for the creation of the infotainment and rear seat entertainment system interfaces. These interfaces were conceived entirely in-house at Jaguar Land Rover by their design and engineering teams; allowing JLR to maintain control throughout the concept, design, prototype and delivery process and more closely execute on the designer's vision. The InControl Touch Pro system provides drivers with an interactive multi-touch display. The touch screen display allows users to easily manage functions such as climate control, audio, communications, navigation, and allows users to customize their home screen wallpaper and create personalized widgets. The next-generation InControl Touch Pro infotainment suite carries enhanced smartphone apps that lock and unlock the doors, start the engine, and adjust the dual-zone automatic climate control.
The highly responsive interface comes from GL Studio's native object code generation and the fastest runtime software in the industry. GL Studio enabled a seamless transition from prototyping, to testing, and to the production deployment of the graphical interface without compromising performance or fidelity. GL Studio enables the real-time creation of interactive 2D and 3D user interface content through the WYSIWYG designer, and rapidly and easily lets the UX/UI design team realize their original vision with its UI Designer Workflow. GL Studio offers advanced OpenGL 3D graphics for the freedom to produce an immersive 3D UX.
The simple and intuitive InControl Touch Pro, featuring GL Studio, enables the touch screen display to respond to 'pinch to zoom' and 'swipe' gestures to provide ease of use for drivers. The new infotainment unit has 10 times faster performance than the previous system. The responsiveness eliminates lag and improves the natural feel of the interaction. The optional navigation system offers door-to-door navigation and improves the line of site to allow drivers to focus more on the road improving driver situational awareness and limiting distractions.
The total user experience envelops the driver and passengers and is a result of DiSTI working directly with the JLR design teams and industry leaders like Intel, HARMAN and Bosch to deliver this cutting edge system. Strategically crafted to successfully meet and exceed internal design demands, GL Studio was implemented company-wide as the tool for all embedded HMI prototyping and production.
Jaguar XJ was recognized as Best Luxury Car in Total Quality by Strategic Vision in 2016. In 2017, the Jaguar F-pace received the World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year Awards.

Why is it that for some of us it's not enough to swim laps inside once the plug has been pulled on our favorite outdoor pool?
For the hearty souls who have been grieving summer's end and the closing of the pools, there's still the Great Ohio River Swim.
Swimmers will take the plunge from Cincinnati's Serpentine Wall at 8:15 a.m. this Sunday, Sept. 25.
More than 150 teen and adult swimmers are expected to make the 900-yard swim across the river to the Kentucky side and back to the Public Landing on the Ohio side. They will join the ranks of the 850 swimmers ages 10-85 who have completed the swim over the past eight years.
"This is a fun and safe opportunity for people of all ages to swim across the Ohio," said Brewster Rhoads, swim chair and board member of Outdoor Adventure Clubs of Greater Cincinnati. "Swimmers are invariably impressed with the cleanliness and beauty of the Ohio – and they become more committed to protecting it."
Just to make sure, the Ohio River Sanitation Commission will test for water quality before the event.
The swimmers will be raising money for OAC, the same nonprofit that hosts Paddlefest and works in 19 inner-city high schools to get urban teens out into nature – canoeing, kayaking, climbing, skiing and more.
Check-in and on-site registration will begin at 6:30 a.m. at the Public Landing. Participants can park on the Public Landing for $5 per vehicle.
An open-water swim clinic and pre-race orientation begins at 7:30 a.m. Topics include open-water freestyle stroke, sighting, drafting, currents, start and finish, lifeguards and strategy. The clinic is free and open to everyone, regardless of whether they are swimming that day.
Registration is $25 for ages 23 and over, $20 for 22 and younger. Swimmers who are not members of USA Triathlon must pay an additional $12 per person for insurance coverage.
The river will be closed to barge and power boat traffic by order of the U.S. Coast Guard from 8-9 a.m., so don't dawdle! Certified lifeguards and safety boats will be deployed on the Ohio during the swim.
The swim will be timed. The award ceremony for winners in each competition class will take place at 9:30 a.m.

Inside Out, Dope, Love & Mercy0
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
Jurassic World is still destroying the box office but that didn't stop Inside Out from being the second biggest Pixar opening of all time. Inside Out was loved by all three of us. It was so much that both Sean and Josh are considering calling it the best movie of the year so far. That's saying a lot with Cinderella, Ex Machina, and Love and Mercy already out this year not to mention Mad Max: Fury Road, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Jurassic World kicking ass as blockbusters.
Dope is an indie film that did well on the festival circuit. Sean really enjoyed the movie and recommends it. Then there was Love and Mercy, the Brian Wilson story. What an intriguing movie. It may be my favorite film of the year thus far. Needless to say it was a good week for movies. If you don't know the Brian Wilson story then this is a must see, hell even if you know it you'll be impressed…I say that as someone who knew the story.
We asked our audience their top five favorite Pixar movies. Among those chosen was Up, Wall-E, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Toy Story 3, Cars, The Incredibles etc.
Our Undisputed Classic was "Being John Malkovich." This is one of the more underrated films of the 90's. It's beloved and it holds up but it's become second fiddle to movies like Pulp Fiction and The Big Lebowski and it doesn't need to. It's a phenomenal movie with phenomenal performances.

The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences (AMPAS, the home of The 84th Annual Academy Awards) has announced it's annual list of new members, and this one of 178 is really exciting, as it's paced by the popular trio of Russell Brand, of the Arthur remake, but better known as Ms. Katy Perry, and Bradley Cooper of Limitless, and The Hangover movie series, and the incomparable Beyonce Knowles, and for her performance in Dreamgirls.
The Academy also took the unprecedented step of adding the documentary film maker Tim Hetherington as a member, who was killed in action Libya.
"These individuals are among the best filmmakers working in the industry today. Their talent and creativity have entertained moviegoers around the world, and I welcome each of them to our ranks," said Academy Board President Tom Sherak.
No Twitter tweet from either Brand or Perry on the news, and Cooper is said to "shun" social networking, and Beyonce has had a ton of problems with Twitter Trolls, but there's no word from the fake Bradley Cooper or Beyonce Twitter sites, either.

The Academy could have selected up to 211 eligibles for membership in 2011, but it elected not to do so, leaving observers wondering who should have been on the list that's not there. But that's for another blog, because relative newcomers like Jesse Eisenberg, and Rooney Mara , who played well together with he as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and she as the first girlfriend who told him off in The Social Network, and long-time actors Gerard Butler, David Duchovny, Tea Leoni, have made it this year.
And Ellen Page and Anthony Mackie, who I met at the 2010 NFL Draft…
…Are on the list.
Mackie's still living that dream…
Public Relations People?
And before we look at the full list, a special mention of the PR people who really run things in Hollywood. No actor is known. No movie is seen without their influence, and this group of ten is no exception.
There's Ira Rubenstein, the EVP for Msrvel Entertainment, who's helped succesfully steer Marvel from comic book icon organization to movie icon organization in an effort that only looks easy.
Among those joining Ira are Susan Ciccone of 42 West and Alissa Grayson of Universal,
42 West is a marketing company with such clients as Woody Allen, Uma Thurman, Kate Winslet, and picked up Tom Cruise away from Rogers and Cowan. 42 West arguably has some of the most powerful women in entertainment, with Ciccone, and the ever-active Leslee Dart, as well. (And no, 42 West has NO idea I'm blogging this.)
Alissa Grayson, a 16-year industry veteran, was promoted to EVP of Publicity (that's Executive Vice President) of Universal in 2010, and manages a staff of almost 50 people.
Rounding out the list are Jeffrey Hall, Jill Ann Jones (J.J. Jones Creative), Mark Markline (Universal's International Publicity head), Carmelo Pirrone of Sony Pictures, Loren Schwartz of Screen Gems, the Sony ad agency, and Lance Volland of Warner Bros.
And for "Executives" a special mention for Thomas Tull, who's Legendary Studios has churned out modern classics like The Dark Night, and is working on the new Superman movie, and the much-anticipated Godzilla 2012.

After watching the third presidential debate, are you clear on America�s foreign policy? I thought not. That�s because there appears to be no singular foreign policy, rather a series of foreign policies, which must be tailored to fit each nation.
I expected Mitt Romney to go after President Obama on his most recent foreign policy failure, the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in which four Americans were killed, including the U.S. ambassador. The president had no explanation as to why there was inadequate security in Benghazi, preferring instead to say only that we are �going after the killers.� Romney refused to press him on it. Some may have viewed this as a missed opportunity, but I think it was designed to show Romney�s restraint and to counter the �Do you want to get us into another Middle East war?� charge.
One of Romney�s better lines was, �We can�t kill our way out of this mess,� meaning terrorism and the Middle East, but he failed to go for the political �kill�; instead, he agreed with the president several times. Possibly for the same reasons I mentioned?
When moderator Bob Schieffer asked the ultimate question, �What is America�s role in the world?� neither candidate�s answer was revealing beyond their campaign speech bromides.
What was surprising was the reaction to the debate by some in the �liberal media,� which have been in the tank for Mr. Obama since he began running for president. Some of them seemed to retreat from the worshipful attitude they have displayed toward the president since beginning four years ago to assist his self-promotion as a messianic deliverer from our national sins.
Former White House aide David Gergen said on CNN, �I think Mitt Romney did something that was extremely important to his campaign tonight, and that was he passed the commander-in-chief test.� Indeed, that was all he had to do, much like Ronald Reagan in his 1980 debates with Jimmy Carter. If voters want to �fire� a president, they want to be assured his replacement is up to the job. Chuck Todd of NBC News said on MSNBC, �... The president�s got bigger problems than trying to disqualify Mitt Romney now. The president has to requalify himself for a second term.�
CNBC�s John Harwood concluded that it was the president who looked like the challenger with his sharp attacks and interruptions. Chris Cillizza of The Washington Post tweeted, �If you had no idea about the race, the level of aggression from Obama would make you think he is behind.�
Clearly Romney was playing it safe, a tactic football teams use when they�re ahead and want to run out the clock. I wish he had noted while congratulating the president for giving the go-ahead to kill Osama bin Laden that what we are confronting now is not so much despotic leaders, but a radical faith many believe encourages the murder or subjugation of nonbelievers.
According to Andrew McCarthy, author and former federal prosecutor, writing for the website the Counter Jihad Report, �In Cairo ... Hamas� chief, Khaled Mashal, gave a fiery speech calling for violent jihad against Israel. With approving nods from his hosts � aides to Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood leader whom Egyptians elected their president � Mashal exclaimed, �Resistance (the Islamist euphemism for terrorism), not negotiation, is the path to the restoration of rights. ... Nothing will restore the homeland but jihad, the rifle and self-sacrifice.�� How can diplomacy deter this level of fanaticism? Clearly, the Obama administration�s approach has not lowered the rhetoric or altered the behavior of jihadists.
The administration�s policy toward Egypt has been to send more aid while attempting to get congressional approval for debt forgiveness.
The Obama administration has a foreign policy, or policies, that have been mostly ineffective, leaving the perception that America is weak. That always invites adventurism, even attacks, by our enemies.
Romney �won� the foreign policy debate by not losing it. Watch for the Obama campaign�s attack ads to intensify, which will make Obama look even more like the challenger. Romney has the momentum. Now he must close the deal.

ImpatientDieter Scar Series: http://EasyWayShow.com/scar.html
Well, as soon as I got rid of my chest scar, my gotdang eczema came back. Thankfully, it healed in record time again. I'm telling y'all who have eczema, DMSO & MSM combined with Visualization & Subliminal Messages is real next-level healing... but keep using that steroid cream if you want to! LOL I did that crap for years too.
Anyway, I'm recording daily video clips treating my scar and I'll post a monthly compilation. If you have scars you want to treat, you can follow my journey. In the next video, I'm going to show how light this new scar is in comparison to a new scar I have on my bewb. I was out in the back-water, uncivilized wilderness (otherwise known as North Florida), when some prehistoric bug somehow bit through my shirt, through my bra, and snacked on my bewb! I did not treat that bite with DMSO & MSM and you will see how dark that scar is in comparison to this new eczema scar that I've been treating since Day 1.
New Mom / Money Series
The number one email I'm getting is from people saying that they want to buy products but are short on funds. Either they're new moms, students, or just need to conserve money. So, I've wanted to do a New Mom Series for a while anyway (because you guys are huge supporters), and I'm going to show y'all an EASY WAY to earn a lot of side income just going to Thrift Stores and listing items on Alibris, Amazon, Ebay, Half. I did that years ago. Great for SAH Moms, students, part-time job for teens, or just side weekend income. There are some tips & tricks to maximize your earnings. There's a "Square Way" to do it and a "Grimy Way" to do it. I'll show y'all both -- but the more grimy you are, the more money you make.
Product Reviews
They are coming, but let me first post my money series, so everyone can buy products and no one will feel left out.
1 Minute Health Tips
The shorter my videos, the more views they get. I'm going to try a little experiment to give you guys tips like I did in the early days... but keep my videos under 1 minute. We'll see how that goes... LOL
New Fashion Body Shots
I have tons of costumes I need to make videos for, but many of you are asking for just everyday fashion outfits. I'm not a "beauty" vlogger, but I realize that's what many of them do. First of all... YAWN-FEST... j/k. But seriously, the truth is I don't wear snazzy fashions; I've STILL just been schlepping! I know you guys think when you lose your weight you're going to walk around constantly dressed like Britney Spears... but let me let you in on a secret... the girls who dress that way, don't let a little think like "weight" stop them from dressing that way! LOL If you were going to be all hoochied out, you'd be dressing like that right now! Anyway, I did some shopping for sexy, everyday fashions, and I'll do an "Outfit Of The Week" once I get into a schedule.

Quick Thoughts On NFL's New Domestic Violence Policy
Today, NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, dropped a lengthy letter in which he admitted that he messed up when he only gave Ray Rice a 2-game suspension for domestic violence and he outlined 6 new policies that the NFL will implement regarding domestic violence and sexual assault.
My quick thoughts:
- Everyone should read the entire letter before forming opinions about it.
- Good job, public and sports media who got really angry that Ray Rice only got a two-game suspension for beating his fiancee unconscious. The outcry following that punishment is most definitely the ONLY reason this letter exists today.
- 5 of those 6 policies are proactive. This is important. The 6th part – the punishment part – will get a lot of play and sports media will focus on it. But the first 5 policies are all about preventing violence before it happens, both internally within teams and externally within communities. Punishment will not deter this violence but rooting it out before it happens, that could.
- All the stuff about being proactive in an attempt to prevent violence (which is the bulk of the letter), FEMINISTS DID THAT. The NFL was listening to somebody when they wrote that letter and it wasn't just DUDEZ.
- The punishment part is bad. These new, incredibly harsh penalties that could backfire and just cause people not to want to report knowing that the result could cost a player his career (people don't report for much less). It's hard to see this as a deterrent. [UPDATE: someone brought up that lax punishments are also deterrents for women reporting partners for domestic violence. That's true, too. Part of the problem with focusing on punishments is that no matter what they are, many victims feel fundamentally unsafe reporting due to possible retaliation and/or effect on their partner's life.]
- And as Dan Solomon texted me when we were discussing this, the fact that this remains only a punishment to an individual does not stop the horrible behavior we saw the Ravens exhibit in the face of Ray Rice's case and his suspension (a full court press of rehab publicity, mainly, which shows no signs of slowing down). Dan wrote, "There's no incentive for them not to be horrible in the future. In fact, there's the opposite. They need to downplay and PR and spin away all of this to prevent a lifetime ban."
- The NFLPA will hate the punishment part and we should expect them to fight it all the way. At the same time, they could have at least taken the time in their response to acknowledge how great the proactive parts of the letter are.
- I don't trust the NFL. The proactive stuff is wonderful IF it's implemented in a way that is careful, thorough, thoughtful, consistent, and constant. What has the NFL done to make us think it will do that, to make us think it will do anything unless it gets something out of it? *crickets*
- If the sports media chooses to mainly focus on the punishment part of all of this, I fear that this will overshadow the bulk of the letter, which is about all the things we need to do to prevent violence. It will also serve to allow people who just want to move on from all of this to say, "PROBLEM SOLVED!," when, in fact, all that proactive stuff shows that there is no solving of a problem; this is a long-term, on-going process that takes constant care.
- If you feel dissatisfied at the punishment part of this (that you feel like any act of violence against another person should lead to immediate dismissal from the league), at least keep in mind that the punishment the NFL has laid out is much more harsh than how the legal system often handles these cases. There is so much wrong in this society when it comes to violence against women and it doesn't start or end with the NFL.
