Dear Representative Lujan-Grisham,
I would be remiss if I didn't share the following letter that I recently forwarded to our NM U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich regarding my concerns regarding the upcoming U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) Training Exercise that is scheduled to take place in approximately seven southwestern states, to include New Mexico, during the period of July 15 to September15, 2015, along with respectfully demanding the "Return of Government to Our Constitutional Principles":
Letter To Senator Heinrich:

Dear Senator Heinrich:
On or about February 8, 2015, I sent your office my seventh letter respectfully demanding the "Return of Government to Our Constitutional Principles", along with sharing some extremely disturbing information with you, which I respectfully requested your take and/or feedback on.
For your information, must to my dismay, I again have not received an answer to my above letter, but be that as it may, today I wanted to share the following extremely disturbing and time sensitive information with you:
On or about March 31, 2015, I drafted and posted the following blog on all of my blog websites regarding what I consider to be our Command-In-Chief's undeniable disdain shown for our men and women in uniform and our veterans, along with his true allegiance, which were well documented in my blog that contains numerous other articles and/or blogs and videos that relate to and/or further support my concerns:
Obama supports reduction in military retirement pay!
Senator Udall, I now believe that his disdain is all part of a bigger plot engineered and/or designed by the "Shadow Party" to unilaterally disarm America through steep military spending reductions by depicting all American military actions as unwarranted and immoral with an ultimate goal of bringing it down, as documented in the following website, video and articles and/or blogs:

On or about March 27, 2015, there was an article that was posted by Jon Harper, Stars and Stripes and published by Stars and Stripes, regarding a special operations exercise, that was planed and sponsored by the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) and slated to take place across multiple southwestern states, outside the confines of U.S. military bases, to include my state of New Mexico, which has been labeled as "leaning hostile."
Army Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria, a USASOC spokesman, recently confirmed in an email to Stars and Stripes that there is an upcoming exercise called "Jade Helm 15," which is scheduled to take place this summer between July 15 to September 15, 2015 at locations in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, California and Nevada.
According to Lt. Col. Lastoria, this exercise is routine training to maintain a high level of readiness for Army Special Operations Forces, which will involve the Green Berets, Navy Seals, and the 82nd Airborne Division because they must be ready to support potential missions anywhere in the world on a moment's notice, although he never mentioned that there are supposedly other units involved in this "training exercise" (e.g., DHS, FBI and the joint personnel recovery agency that will be working with them, to include the DEA ad FEMA, etc.). He also denied that the event is in preparation for some sort of military takeover and or martial law.
On or about March 27, 2015, the following article and/or blog written by Alex Newman and published by The New American, which I am taking the liberty of sharing with you in it's entirety because it reveals some extremely disturbing information regarding what seems to the true intent of this supposed operations training exercise:
Military Drill Identifying "Hostile" U.S. States Sparks Alarm!-Posted on The New American-By Alex Newman-On March 27, 2015:
A massive U.S. military drill dubbed "Jade Helm 15" lists Texas, Utah, and part of California as "hostile" or "insurgent pocket" territory. The unclassified information about this drill is causing widespread alarm nationwide, with more than a few analysts suggesting it may be some sort of exercise practicing to impose martial law on Americans fed up with an out-of-control federal government. During the exercises, which will take place over the summer, Special Forces from various branches of the military will work with local law-enforcement in scenarios that, to critics at least, sound suspiciously like they are aimed at subduing rebellious American civilians and states amid a civil war or large-scale unrest. The federal government issued a response dismissing the concerns and saying that the training is to help U.S. forces prepare for overseas missions, but not everyone is convinced.
The most alarming components of the drills highlighted by concerned citizens and media commentators surround an unclassified presentation about Jade Helm 15's "realistic military training" that was apparently leaked. In a graphic showing the territory across which the training will take place — essentially the American Southwest — different states are colored based on the fictional status of their loyalty to Washington. Colorado, Nevada, and most of California, for example, are dark blue, indicating that they are "permissive." Utah and Texas are both shaded red, indicating that they are "hostile." Southern California is also red, with a note reading "insurgent pocket." Arizona is light blue, which in the legend is listed as "uncertain (leaning friendly)," while New Mexico is brown, or "uncertain (leaning hostile)." Two more states, Florida and Louisiana, have reportedly been added to the exercise.
According to the presentation, the eight-week training program involves Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces Command (Green Berets), Air Force Special Operations Command, Marine Special Operations Command, Marine Expeditionary Units, the 82nd Airborne Division, and unspecified "interagency partners." Underneath the logo for the Jade Helm drills, a sword with two arrows crossing it, it reads: "Master the Human Domain." What exactly that means was not clear, but at least some critics of the exercise have suggested it may be a euphemism for subjugating the population of the United States. Indeed, as other analysts have noted, citing available information, the drill almost certainly has nothing to do with defending the Southern border from invasion. The few details that have been provided, though, are causing concern among analysts.
On a slide explaining "what to expect" during the two-month training program for "unconventional warfare," the document warns of "increased aircraft in the area at night," possible noise complaints, personnel carrying weapons with blank ammo, and more. Especially alarming to critics of the program is that "some individuals may conduct suspicious activities designed to prepare them for complex environments overseas," and that "some participants will be wearing civilian attire and driving civilian vehicles." Separately, a slide describing what "realistic military training" means has also raised alarm. The document mentions that it will be conducted "outside of federally owned property" and that it is designed to "ensure proper coordination between DOD representatives and local and regional authorities." News reports citing military officials said the DEA, FBI, and the "Joint Personnel Recovery Agency" (JPRA) would also be participating.
Citing other recently leaked U.S. military documents such as "FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations" about interning American civilians in camps, using "psyops" (psychological operations) on those detainees to affect their views, and more, David Hodges with the Common Sense Show said the drill is "undoubtedly the most frightening thing to occur on American soil since the Civil War." In a widely re-published article about the training program, he said it could be "conclusively stated" that the drill was really about "preparing for a Red, White and Blue invasion." "This is a massive rehearsal for martial law implementation as well as implementing the proverbial and much rumored Red and Blue List and the 'snatch and grab' extractions of key resistance figures from the Independent Media as well as uncooperative political figures," Hodges added. "The various provisions of Jade Helm make it clear just how dangerous this drill truly is."
Responding to widely expressed concerns that the scheme is "preparation for imposing martial law or subduing right-leaning groups and individuals," as the military publication Stars and Stripes put it, U.S. Army Special Operations Command denied the accusation. "That notion was proposed by a few individuals who are unfamiliar with how and why USASOC conducts training exercises," USASOC spokesman Army Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria was quoted as saying. "This exercise is routine training to maintain a high level of readiness for Army Special Operations Forces because they must be ready to support potential missions anywhere in the world on a moment's notice." He re-iterated those comments in other interviews as well. Despite being referred to as "routine," it was not clear whether any similar drill identifying U.S. states as "hostile" had ever taken place — except perhaps amid the Civil War.
In comments quoted by the Houston Chronicle, which made its bias obvious in the first sentence by claiming that the drills had "stirred some ultra-right-wing fears of a government takeover in the Lone Star State," local law enforcement officials also shed some light on what to expect. "They're going to set up cells of people and test how well they're able to move around without getting too noticed in the community," Chief Deputy Roy Boyd with the Victoria County Sheriff's Office was quoted as saying by the paper. "They're testing their abilities to basically blend in with the local environment and not stand out and blow their cover." A former Army Intelligence officer was also quoted downplaying fears about the drill and suggesting that it was largely routine training.
Separately, the Chronicle attempted to belittle concerns expressed by critics about the program. National radio host Alex Jones, for example — whose audience dwarfs the readership and listenership of many "mainstream" outlets, including the Chronicle — was introduced as part of the "far-right fringe" movement. Jones' radio show and online portal Infowars played a key role in raising awareness about the drills under the headline "Feds Preparing to Invade Texas, List State as Hostile." The supposed "journalist" at the Chronicle, apparently unable to contain himself or conceal his extreme bias, went on to describe the website Freedom Outpost, which also raised concerns about the drill and suggested it was practice for domestic martial law, as "ultra-libertarian."
While local authorities quoted in news reports were aware of the programs and vowed to work with the community to prevent panic or paranoia, it would not be the first time that the Pentagon has alarmed U.S. civilians with its drills. In 2013, a series of "urban warfare" military exercises in major cities including Miami and Houston invo... who were unaware of what was going on. AsThe New American has also reported in recent years, under the Obama administration, military authorities have taken the unprecedented step of bringing troops from Communist China andRussia to do "training drills" with American forces. Other foreign militaries, primarily European, have for decades been practicing citizen disarmament and other drills on U.S. soil, as documented on video by Alex Jones.
Considering the fact that two-thirds of the American people in polls say the federal government is "out of control" and a "thre..., it is hardly surprising that many citizens do not trust the Obama administration when it performs military drills with law enforcement that it has been militarizingand attempting to nationalize — especially while identifying conservative states as "hostile" enemies. Obama's invitation of foreign troops loyal to hostile regimes for military training drills in the United States certainly did not help matters. Nor does the fact that the current commander in chief began his political career in the living room of communist terroris... — a man whose terror spree was backed by the Soviet puppet regime of Fidel Castro when it bombed the Pentagon and murdered police officers. Ayers' terror group, the Weather Underground, planned to exterminate 25 million Americans in camps across the Southwest after taking over, according to FBI agent Larry Grathwohl who infiltrated the organiza.... "They were dead serious," Grathwohl said in anvideo-taped interview.
Of course, the federal government's recent behavior — ranging from Homeland Security stockpiling massive amounts of hollow-point ammun... to the multiple agencies producing propaganda demonizing U.S. military veterans, Christians, and Americans with mainstream political views as potential terrorists — is also unlikely to inspire trust. In fact, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia warned just last year tha... if you do not think mass internment of U.S. citizens, as happened with Japanese-Americans during World War II, would eventually return to this country.
Jade Helm drill may well just be nothing more than training U.S. forces for "overseas missions," as officials claim. However, considering the known details of the exercise and the accelerating anti-constitutional lawlessness of the federal government, it is hardly unreasonable to express concerns. In fact, anybody who is not concerned by the current state of U.S. affairs is simply not paying attention.

Who are we to believe?
In my own personal twenty year military experience this type of exercise is unheard of because normally any such training and/or operational exercise is usually conducted on a military installation/facility and not out on our streets and isn't there a law against having active military units policing our streets here at home. It really makes me question their true intentions, motives and/or agendas because it seems that our own government has made it very clear through recent emergency alerts that have been drafted and issued by the Department of Homeland Security, which I have also included below, clearly state that military, veterans, the National Guard, and those who eschew President Obama's obvious brand of democratic socialism.
These are the same individuals that have taken an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic," which in the recent past included supposedly stopping the spread of "Communism" (e.g., Vietnam War where approximately 58,000 of our own young men and women in uniform gave their all and where I personally lost many a friend, et.).
These are also the same individuals that our own Commander-In-Chief and other elected officials have in the past and continue to send around the globe to fight and possibly die while abiding by their oaths and are now considered to be our "home grown terrorists" and labeled as a national security threat to the Country/Republic for which they have fought and continue to die for:

Note: What follows are pertinent excepts from a recent article and/or blog drafted by Joe Mcmaster and published by Freedom Outpost, on or about March 24, 2015, which relates to and/or further supports my concerns regarding this supposed "readiness training exercise":
"A couple months ago the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) and FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) stated that the number one threat to the United States is none other than its own citizenry. This isn't some small group of spun out nuts or even groups of people that the government feels are too religious such as Waco Texas and The Branch Davidians.
As far as Islam, they were not even mentioned in the report. Instead, huge swaths of American culture and people were listed as the most likely threat to our country. These were some of the groups listed; Christians, Home Schoolers, Members of the Tea Party, Constitutionalists, Preppers (people who can food), Militia and the terrorist group they are most concerned about is returning combat veterans of the United States of America.
As 22-25 veterans commit suicide every day and they struggle with any real medical care, they are thanked by dying while dealing with the VA (Veterans Administration) and then listed as thenumber one threat to their country. Lately, it has become crystal clear that it's become a culture in the VA. The directors are willing participants in the scheduling schemes and shell games. When they're not collecting bonuses, they are making fun of veteran's committing suicide (See what's her name….)
Moving right along, about a month later a reputable polling agency polled Americans and posed a simple, straight-forward question, What is the number one threat to America? The results were decisive loud and clear, The U.S. Government. The economy was second and Islamic terrorists a distant sixth in the poll results.
In the previous years leading up to the government listing its citizens as its number one threat, they just happened to pass out a few thousand MRAP Armored vehicles of War, along with all kinds of military surplus weapons systems and night fighting optics.
Then, in April of last year, the government stepped up its pace. They sent Federal SWAT teams to the State of Nevada where cattle were killed, women were assaulted, people were tased and the actions of a police state were right on the television and internet for the entire world to see. Fearing another Waco, Texas or Ruby Ridge, Idaho, people from all over the country responded to help Cliven Bundy and.... The Federal SWAT teams and BLM finally lost their resolve and left, but only after shooting and running a lot of cattle to death and destroying a spring used for water.
My note: What follows is my blog relating to the above extremely disturbing issue:
New EPA Land Grab, Complete Control Over All Private Land in America! (Part 1)-Posted on Tea Party Command Center-By Jake Martinez-On April 11, 2014:
This takes us to the next step, a joint military LEA (Law Enforcement Agencies) exercise. This exercise is called, "Operation Jade Helm." It is slated to last eight weeks and cover seven states in the American South west; Texas and Utah being listed as Hostile States, New Mexico being mostly hostile, Arizona being mostly Friendly and California, Nevada and Colorado all being friendly states. This exercise is under the command of the American Military's most elite forces, USASOC (United States Army Special Operations Command). USASOC released an outline of the exercise and the units that will be involved.
"We have Army Green Berets, Navy Seals, Marine Special Operations Command, the 82ndAirborne Division and we also have some of our inter-agency partners such as the DEA, FBI and the joint personnel recovery agency that will be working with us."
As a combat veteran, I find the direction and tone of this administration very disconcerting to say the least. The wounded veterans are looked at with a clear disdain via the leadership at the VA. The ones that were not wounded, were looked at like an enemy and placed on Terror lists. While The United States takes Hezbollah and Iran off the Terrorist list, I find it very hard to even accept what is taking place right in front of everyone, but nonetheless it certainly is.
I do not see any situation that would call for American Elite Special Forces, Airborne combat units and operators to engage in Martial law in the United States."

Flashback: The Top 5 Reasons Obama Must Be Removed as Commander-in-Chief!-Posted on American Thinker-By Stella Paul-On January 9, 2012:
Obama recently signed a mysterious new law that proclaims all American soil is a "battleground," thereby allowing the president to indefinitely detain any American citizen without charges. Critics fear Obama will use his fun new unconstitutional powers to make his political enemies disappear, but that may not be necessary.
The way things are going, most patriotic Americans will soon be six feet under, felled by apoplectic strokes brought on by reading the latest outrage committed by our "Commander in Chief." He may not have a limit to what he'll inflict; but our collective blood pressure may have a limit to what we can bear.
With each passing hour, the question becomes not if America can survive a second term, but whether we can survive another day. It's not just the $15 trillion in debt, the Muslim Brotherhood in the catbird seat, and our bleeding open border. It's the never-ending deliberate assaults against our safety and security laughingly committed by the cold-eyed man with the nuclear code.
Here are the top 5 reasons Obama must be removed as Commander-in-Chief. Please read them while seated.
ONE - LightSquared: If we had an actual media, you should be able to wake up an average fourth grader at 3 AM and ask, "Who's General William Shelton?" and the fourth grader would chirpily recite: "He's the Air Force Commander who was pressured by the White House to change his testimony about LightSquared."
The facts are not in dispute. A four-star general has testified to Congress that he was pressured by the White House to alter his testimony to make it friendlier to a broadband company backed by a major Democratic donor.
The problem with LightSquared's new wireless project is that it could disrupt all military communications and GPS. But what worth has the entire capacity of the military's communication system against the pleadings of LightSquared's biggest investor, Philip Falcone, who shovels cash to Obama?
TWO - Fast and Furious: No matter how many times you hear the facts they never get less sickening or bizarre. The United States Department of Justice deliberately ran thousands of guns to Mexican drug cartels, which then used them to commit at least 11 violent crimes in the US and 200 violent crimes in Mexico. A Fast and Furious gun was used to murder U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and possibly U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jaime Zapata.
ATF Agent Vince Cefalu was fired for whistleblowing about this surreal horror show. Attorney General Eric Holder perjured himself to Congress, pretending he knew nothing about it. And newly released emails confirm that the motivation for supplying weapons to Mexico's most violent criminals was to use the ensuing chaos to enact stricter gun control laws here.
Not content to unleash murder and mayhem, the Department of Justice also went into the money-laundering racket, washing clean millions of dollars for Mexico's drug cartels. Your tax dollars at work! And while this evil madness was raging, Obama conducted a hysterical campaign against Sarah Palin for using an image of a target on her website.
THREE - Giving Top-Secret Technology to Our Enemies: Last week brought word that Obama is planning to share U.S. missile defense secrets with Russia, over the strenuous objections of security officials who say it could devastate the effectiveness of our entire defense system. They also fear Russia will share our secrets with China, Iran and North Korea.
Remember how Obama's Mommy and Daddy met in Russian class? If only they could see their little boy now.
Obama also gave a freebie of our most classified intelligence to Iran, refusing all three options to destroy a downed U.S. drone. Instead, he let the mullahs paw their way through our most sensitive high-tech secrets. Not to worry—he did politely ask them to give it back.
FOUR - Waging War Against Libya Without Congressional Approval: Obama's handlers dreamed up a catchy new doctrine called Responsibility to Protect (R2P), and they were itching to try it out. So Obama gave them a nice, peppy little war to conduct in Libya. Why n
Flagrantly flouting the War Powers Resolution, Obama spent a billion dollars to wage an unconstitutional war. The grand result is Al Qaeda's flag waving over Benghazi and 20,000 anti-aircraft missiles missing, which will probably wind up blasting towards us.
FIVE - Hollowing Out Our Military: This week we learn that Obama is slashing the defense budget, planning to lay off 14% off our troops, reduce our nuclear arsenal, shelve key weapon systems and explicitly cripple our ability to wage ground wars. What hath Saul Alinsky wrought!
Already, Obama has strait-jacketed the military in political correctness, forbidding discussion of the nature of radical Islam and sanitizing the jihad-crazed murder of 13 soldiers at Fort Hood into "workplace violence." But that was not enough for our Commander-in-Chief.
Our troops are so heroic that even in straitjackets, they can win. And if there's one thing Obama will not tolerate it's American victory.
From George Washington to Barack Obama - it's been quite a ride.

On or about March 6, 2015, the following article and/or blog was written by Alex Newman and published by The New American, which revealed that the Obama regime's "Task Force on 21st Century Policing" recently unveiled an underhanded plan to further nationalize and federalize law enforcement agencies across the country.

Obama Unveils Plan to Further Nationalize Local Police!-Posted on The New American-By Alex Newman-On March 6, 2015:
The Obama administration and its "Task Force on 21st Century Policing" are under fire after unveiling an unconstitutional plot to impose federal "standards" on..., which critics say is in effect an underhanded plan to further nationalize and federalize law enforcement. Widely lambasted as "Common Core" for police, the Obama plan outlines dozens of controversial "recommendations" to be foisted on state and local law-enforcement agencies using federal tax dollars as bribes — the same unconstitutional process used to impose the hugely unpopular national "Common Core" standards on states and schools nationwide. Opponents say it is part of a dangerous long-term plan that must be opposed.
The controversial Obama administration demands for national standards for police come a few months after United Nations boss Ban Ki Moon called for American police to obey "international standards." The efforts to further nationalize and federalize law enforcement — a state and local responsibility under America's constitutional system — are also in line with Obama's campaign rhetoric about building a "civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the U.S. military. Of course, as Congress revealed in an official report, the Communist effort to nationalize American police forces goes back decades.
The Justice Department agency that would be responsible for bribing and bludgeoning police agencies into submission to Obama's "national standards" is also among the outfits that have been abused to militarize law enforcement all across America. As The New American reported last year amid the George Soros-funded chaos in Ferguson, Obama attacked the militarization of law enforcement — even though his ad.... The federal government, of course, has no constitutional authority to meddle in state and local law enforcement to begin with.
After meeting with his "task force" on "21st century policing," created via executive order, Obama celebrated the scheme to bring law enforcement further under the control of his administration. He also argued that it must be done quickly. "I'm going to be asking Eric Holder and the Justice Department and his successor to go through all of these recommendations so that we can start implementing them," Obama explained. "I know one area that's going to be of great interest is whether we can expand the [DOJ Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS)] program that in the past has been very effective, continues to be effective, but is largely underfunded."
To Obama, of course, virtually every unconstitutional bloated federal agency and program is "underfunded." However, in reality, the Constitution he swore to uphold does not authorize a "COPS" program or anything like it, so any funding at all is too much funding based on the objective standard laid out in the Supreme Law of the Land. As the interim report was being released on March 2, though, Obama glossed over those issues, saying the plot offered a "great opportunity" to "really transform how we think about community law enforcement relations." "We need to seize that opportunity," Obama added, echoing the "never let a crisis go to waste" rhetoric of other statists. "This is something that I'm going to stay very focused on in the months to come."
According to the interim report by Obama's task force, two DOJ tentacles, the COPS scheme and the Office of Justice Programs, "should provide technical assistance and incentive funding to jurisdictions with small police agencies that take steps toward shared services, in return for receiving federal funds." Why the federal government cares whether small police departments share services was not entirely clear, though critics see a transparent effort to further strip local communities of their right to self-government and local accountability. The Office of Justice Programs recently came under fire for providing taxpayer-funded grants to a "community group" in New York....
The stepped-up federalization of law-enforcement scheming also involves bribing state and local law enforcement with U.S. tax dollars to feed even more information on citizens to Washington, D.C., bureaucracies already infamous for abusing sensitive and private information. "There is a lack of uniformity in data collection throughout law enforcement, and only patchwork methods of near real time information exists," the controversial report complained. "These problems are especially critical in light of the threats from terrorism and cybercrime." The Justice Department came under major criticism in 2012 after it was exposed training state and local police to link mainstream politica... — including just the display of political bumper stickers!
Critics say Obama's plan ought to be ringing alarm bells. "Americans everywhere should be very concerned about federal oversight of local police agencies," explained former detective Jim Fitzgerald, the national field director for The John Birch Society, the parent organization of this magazine. The constitutionalist group, which has chapters in all 50 states, has been running a campaign for decades called "Support Your Local Police and Keep them Independent." The effort is meant to, among other goals, protect local communities from having their police departments turned into tentacles of an all-powerful federal government.
"These steps to exercise and take control over police departments should raise a red flag among police officials and give deep concern to anyone who understands the history of national police forces," continued Fitzgerald. "Have we so soon forgotten the Gestapo or the KGB, both national police agencies, that terrorized the citizens of Germany and Russia and led to the imprisonment and deaths of tens thousands of innocent men and women? Has there ever been a national police force that benefited the citizens who live under it? Never!"
Of course, as readers of The New American know well, the Department of Justice has long been criticized for its efforts to hijack control of local law enforcement from citizens and communities. The current head of the DOJ, Attorney General Eric Holder, remains in criminal contempt of Congress for trying to cover up his "Fast and Furious" arming of Mexican drug ca... — a plot that official documents showed was being exploited to advance more attacks on the gun rights of Americans. Several of the Obama administration's "Fast and Furious" guns have turned up at crime scenes in which U.S. law-enforcement officers were murdered.
In 2013, meanwhile, the Justice Department was exposed working with an extremist anti-Christian group, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which inspired a deranged homosexual activist to attempt a mass-murder terrorist attack on a pro-family organization. The year before that, the DOJ was exposed demonizing Americans as potential terrorists for their political views in controversial "training programs" for state and local police. The abuses are almost endless, with more than two thirds of Americans saying the federal government is "out of control" and a threat to l....
The history behind efforts to nationalize police forces should also spark alarm over Obama's plan. It is worth recalling that Communist efforts to nationalize local police forces across the United States date back to at least the 1960s. Toward that end, communist agitators, along with their front groups and useful idiots, have long created problems or exploited existing ones to drum up hatred and violence against police. In recent anti-police marches, communist-made signs and slogans were visible everywhere. But it is hardly a new development.
In an official 1961 report entitled "A Communist Plot Against the Free World Police," the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. Congress explained how communist agents across the West were working to nationalize and federalize police forces — with a special focus on the United States. The explosive study documents, among other elements of the strategy, the forming of mobs to attack police. Obama's own radical background and associations with communist terrorists — including launching his political career in the home of Castro-back... — should provide further cause for concern. His racialist anti-police comments, blurted out every time a suitable incident emerges to be exploited, should also offer warnings of the true agenda.
In the end, the Constitution does not authorize Obama's "national standards" for police, or the taxpayer-funded bribes being used to spread them nationwide. That means the scheme is unconstitutional on its face. Even if it were constitutional, though, history shows that it would be a terrible and dangerous idea. Police departments should be responsible to the communities that fund them and that they are supposed to serve — not Obama, Holder, or the UN and its "international standards." To allow further federalization of America's police agencies is a sure recipe for disaster.

Representative Lujan-Grisham, as stated in my above letter to Senator Heinrich, I find it interesting and extremely suspicious that President Obama is making a trip to Africa in July 2015 to supposedly reinforce the U.S.-Africa partnership because, it coincides with the scheduled U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) Training Exercise that is scheduled to kick-off on July 15, 2015.
It's also suspicious to me because when the President made a trip to Asia in 2010 there was a mysterious missile launched off the coast of San Diego, on or about November 8, 2010, and no one seemed to know what it was, to include the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), but numerous military experts with extensive experience working with missiles and computer security systems later revealed that it was a missile fired from a Chinese submarine submerged right off of the U.S. coast in the Pacific and that the display was meant to send the U.S. a signal.
What concerns me is that: 1) NORAD didn't seem to know what it was; and 2) when President Obama was notified about the launch he issued the order for a muted response to the incident and the resultant concocted the story that the contrail came from a jetliner, as documented on the following video and article and/or blog. What's wrong with this picture?-You Decide:

Finally, I am hereby respectfully demanding the immediate Restoration of our Government under its intended Constitutional Principles, rule of law, freedom and personal liberty, along with a return to government "of the people, for the people, by the people", free of despotic and tyrannical federal leadership.
I am also respectfully requesting that the U.S. House of Representatives draft articles of impeachment and commence impeachment proceedings for the numerous high crimes and misdemeanors that President Obama has allegedly committed by continually ignoring federal laws, as documented in my recent letters to your office, while in pursuit of his administration's goal(s), which I believe the House of Representatives has the power to do in accordance Article II, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution.
For your information, I have also recently forwarded a similar letter to our NM U.S. Senator Tom Udall and NM Governor Susana Martinez.
I truly hope and pray that my concerns are proven to be unfounded and without merit for the sake of our families, friends and, most important, our Country/Republic for which so many brave Americans in uniform have fought and died for.

It's continued to deteriorate. It's continued to deteriorate because the
leadership in the Defense Ministry does not want to face up to the requirements
of reform ... . The essence of reform, which they oppose, is to reduce the
manpower levels dramatically, like 80 or 90%, and virtually to begin
over, and to go through a period of fundamental rebuilding. The maladies in
the Soviet military, which I think most Americans are aware of through press
reporting--such as hazing of new soldiers by the senior soldiers, malnutrition,
suicides, homosexual rape, beating of soldiers with shovels so that they're
hospitalized, inner ethnic strife within the military, the exploitation of
soldiers as slave labor by senior officers for their own personal benefit, the
corruption and these sorts of things--all of those maladies came from
structural, organizational features of the Soviet military. I don't think
those can be removed without almost totally disestablishing the old system.
Is this situation the same throughout the military? Or is it better or
worse in different areas?
It's clearly worse in the ground forces. But it has become equally bad in the
more technical forces, such as the air forces and the navy, because the funds
are not there to support these big weapon systems which those forces use. So I
think it's fair to say that the situation is reasonably generalized. ...
Given that situation, does that create concern in your mind about the
Strategic Nuclear Force or the entire nuclear arsenal that the Russians have,
30,000 plus warheads and the fissile material?
Well, if you're talking about just the nuclear forces and nuclear weapons part
of it--and of course you'd have to include the nuclear power packages in the
submarines--sure, that creates concerns. One hears all the time about the
possibility of the fissile material being sold, of the scientists who build
these weapons going abroad to [help] other countries build these weapons. All
that's out there in the public domain, and there's a great deal of hand
wringing about it.
You've talked to people with that hands-on experience?
My knowledge of that is, by and large, rumor and second hand, but the stories
I've heard suggest that indeed the top level officials in the military and in
the Ministry of Energy, which handles nuclear power plants and the production
of fissile materials and this sort of business, are more interested in stealing
the money than they are solving the problem. And again and again, Americans
are tending to be frustrated, because they go in and offer what seems to be a
program that will help fiscally the people involved, including the minister or
whoever his deputy is that's handling this, but they don't want to take that
package, even though it may be in their own best interest. They are greedy
about it. They want to take it all and rip it off.
But again, this is purely impressionistic rumor. I can't confirm that from
first-hand observation. But it certainly squares with everything I discovered
in my research on the dissolution of the Soviet military, its collapse from
1985 through 1992. I would be terribly surprised if it were otherwise. I
mean, I think any bureaucracy which has its traditional sources of income and
resources cut off will begin to behave in very bizarre and self-serving ways.
Senator Lugar maintains that it is in Americans' national security interest
to give them money to help them stabilize this situation. Do you
If the ends that Senator Lugar seeks can be achieved in this manner, clearly
that's right ... . The question I'm raising is whether those means can achieve
those ends. I think he's more optimistic about it than I am. I'm not prepared
to say that they'll have no effect whatsoever. I would cite one great
achievement of Nunn-Lugar monies, and that was resources which allowed the
Secretary of Defense to negotiate between Ukraine and Russia and the other
nuclear powers, Kazakhstan and Belarus, to withdraw their strategic nuclear
weapons back into Russia. I think that was a considerable achievement. But
that's quite different from getting the submarines cleaned up in the Barents
[Sea] and in the Far East, their power packages. It's quite different from
going out and checking these several thousands of tactical nuclear weapons--I'm
not sure even the Russians know where they all are--and tracking all that down.
Then there's another question which I've always been disturbed by. If you
de-militarize the weapon and take the fissile material out, that is more
attractive to countries abroad which want to build nuclear weapons than to get
the weapon itself. They don't have the technical means to explode or maintain
a Russian nuclear weapon. What they want is the fissile material from that
weapon, to put it in a design they created, which they know how to maintain,
and which they know how to explode. So one can, in principle, argue that
demilitarizing these weapons and creating stockpiles of plutonium actually
increases the probabilities of proliferation rather than causes them to
decline, or prevents proliferation. ...
Bruce Blair, among others, has suggested that not only the morale but the
hardware itself, the command and control system for strategic arsenals, has
become dilapidated; that there's been no way to modernize; and as a result,
there is an increased chance of an accidental launch. Do you agree?
I don't know how one would verify these propositions that because deterioration
takes place in command and control system, that there's a greater chance. It
could be that deterioration means it's almost virtually impossible to launch,
because the systems don't work. Lack of maintenance of nuclear weapons for a
few months means that a number of them, a large or increasing number, will not
explode if launched. So I think a strong argument can be made that neglect is
reducing the threat. The idea that we should go out there and spend money and
try to improve their command and control system strikes me as the height of
misguided endeavors.
I don't think he's arguing that we should spend money to improve the command
and control system. I believe he's arguing that we should therefore dealert
the entire force, on their side and our side.
Well, I've no objection to dealerting the forces.
If the right preconditions exist?
The preconditions are there now. I don't see why we have the forces alert.
I've never been a big enthusiast for our whole approach of being able to launch
on warning or launch in a very short amount of time. Firing off 1,000 or 500
or 2,000 nuclear warheads on a few minutes' consideration has always struck me
as an absurd way to go to war. I don't know how one chooses political war aims
to support that approach. Now, because of deterrence theory and arms control
notions of stability, etc., we've talked ourselves into this kind of Rube
Goldberg world where we've surrendered political choice to these nutty
para-mechanistic ideas and technology. Therefore I think it would make a lot
of sense to completely de-alert. And if you're going to use nuclear weapons,
use them thoughtfully for purposes that make sense.
What purpose do you think the American attempts to de-militarize the Russian
military are now serving?
... I don't have much confidence that these are going to reach even 10% or 15%
of their alleged goals. I think it's just one of the realities of the
world we're going to have to learn to live with. There are things we could do
if we were really worried about it. ... We could build a ballistic missile
defense. We could shore up civil defense. We could do a number of things of
those sorts. Those are not popular. Those are real things where we could see
the product, the consequences of our expenditures. I think we feel much more
comfortable in squandering the money on some of these programs in Russia to
make ourselves psychologically better off, although objectively perhaps in the
same shape. ...
I also think the Russians are not loony. I think they're reasonably rational
people. It's not clear to me what they would get by firing the weapons at us.
I think, if they can get us to give them money because we're frightened of it,
they will encourage us to think they might do it. ...
The real nuclear threats, I don't think are going to come from Russia. They're
going to come from other countries. And I'm not sure that, even if Russia
cooperates 100% with us, that we would do more than slow down the
proliferation to a number of other states. We've already seen proliferation.
We started it with Britain, then France. Then we benignly let the Israelis do
it. The Pakistanis and the Indians have recently done it. The Chinese have
nuclear weapons. To think that this kind of technology is not going to spread
is to fly in the face of the historical record that technology inexorably
If you had soldiers facing the kinds of conditions that you know that
Russian soldiers are facing today, what would you recommend up the chain of
It's interesting that you ask me this question. I asked a former chief of the
general staff of the Soviet armed forces how he could look himself in the
mirror each morning in light of what was happening to Russian soldiers in
Chechnya, and of the large number of non-combat deaths that were occurring in
Russian forces all over Russia. And--
Explain what you mean by "non-combat deaths."
Non-combat deaths are suicides; they're deaths from beatings; they're deaths
from murders; they're deaths from overdosing of drugs. They're all sorts of
deaths that occur out there, because discipline's poor. ... All these habits
[are] generally grouped under one Russian word for it, sort of "grandfatherism"
or diedovshina. That's the syndrome of life in the barracks that has
come to embrace these really terrible aspects of life. I said, "How can you
look yourself in the face with those realities out there?" Well, he wouldn't
confront that question at all.
I would find it difficult, as a general, to face that situation. I would call
for the de-mobilization of forces of soldiers whom I could not take care of and
provide proper training and living circumstances for, and health and wellbeing.
If you can't do that, then I think it's wholly irresponsible to bring them on
active duty.
Yet every year the conscription system goes forward, although there are strong
voices in Russia calling for an end to conscription. It goes forward. ...
More and more, they have to recruit soldiers off collective farms, recently out
of prison, this that and the other, because the better off are able to escape
through buying their way out or other bureaucratic ways of escape. So this
burden is falling more and more on the lower level economic layers of the
society. And the generals just don't want to give up this big manpower base
which keeps them in a lifestyle they've become accustomed to.
In September, Marshall Sergeyev gave a speech in which he directed the
officer corps to take personal responsibility for the troops in his command.
Were you aware of this statement?
Yes, I'm aware of this statement. ... I think the state of administrative
capacity and the deterioration of [administrative] capacity makes it such that
issuing an order won't cause much to change. My own view is, the way you'll
have to change it is to disestablish that institution and start over, and only
expand it at a rate which you can provide the resources for, and insure
standards of behavior and a new military culture that does deserve the respect
of the Russian people. ...
The argument is made that the personal relationships with the Russian
military, the trust engendered between the militaries is what will save us in
the end, more than all these technical things.
Military officers from different countries, when they meet each other, tend to
sort of fall in love, become mutual admiration societies, at the expense of
realities. To say that you now trust the Russian military command and control
system because some Russian general told you from the bottom of his heart
that's the case, strikes me as most unrealistic. Will that same general trust
his own subordinate commands without going and checking and seeing the hands-on
situation, not once but repeatedly? That situation is never stable. Any
commander knows that if he doesn't inspect regularly, he's going to be misled
because [of] the strong bureaucratic incentives to report the good news and not
report the bad news. Therefore it seems to me to be dubious if not ludicrous
to put your trust in the capacities of Russian generals to deliver on this.
Now, having studied fairly carefully the August crisis of 1991, when the
military was asked to do some things like go down and close down the White
House in Moscow, where Yeltsin was, as President of the Russian republic,
standing up against the emergency committee which was trying to impose a
repressive regime in the Soviet Union, the generals didn't trust each other.
One of the reasons the military couldn't act was, no general trusted the other.
They were all double-dealing each other. ...
I think one who knows the climate very well inside the milieu in the Russian
military ranks could be very cautious about believing that these generals can
deliver on that. Let's suppose they mean it. Even if they mean it, I don't
see administratively how they could deliver it. Therefore I don't find ...
this assertion very credible. ...
Let me just say one more thing. Any time there's any political stress, where
generals have become good friends, they quickly forget friendship and seek
interests. Would you want to trust your interest being protected purely by
subjective friendship relationships with a large nuclear power that it
sometimes might not be friendly towards you? I think that would be a very
imprudent policy. ...
You talked about being in favor of de-alerting, standing down the nuclear
force. And I also heard you say, if we were serious, we would build a missile
defense system. Are you in favor of both things?
Can you square that for me?
Yes. It's easy. I'm just a simple old ground soldier, and I want lots of
defense and lots of offense. [If] I get the enemy to unload his artillery
pieces, it doesn't mean that I'm going to stop digging foxholes and putting
overhead shelter over them, in the event he reloads his artillery. And he may
not be the only military out there in the field. There may be one that I don't
see over on the flank. ... The problem of nuclear weapons is not one just from
Russia. It's one from China. It's one from India. It's one from Pakistan.
There will be more countries with nuclear weapons. ... I just believe in
offense and defense both, and I want as much of both as I can get. ...
You talk about Russia collapsing, fragmentation. It almost sounds like
there are several Russian governments.
There are. [That's] one of the problems. ... One of the problems in dealing
[with] Russia is, we use that in the singular. Well, which [Russia] are we
talking about? Are we talking about the leaders in the Duma? Are we talking
about regional leaders? Are we talking about people in the White House? Are
we talking about, is Yeltsin awake? Are we [dealing with him] only when he's
awake, or are we talking about when he's asleep? Or when he's ill? Russia is
not unlike many states in the world which we don't consider so important. It's
a weak state. It's very fragmented. And it's not likely to get out of that
predicament any time soon. ...
So where does that leave the military?
One of the int[eresting] things to me is the capacity of the Russian military
to put off reform. But there is a limit to how far they can put it off. By
putting it off, they are forcing their own deterioration. In other words,
there is an objective reform process going on. ... The competition for funds
within the present structure has allowed the government to take money away from
the military. [If] the military won't reform, they don't want to cut the
manpower levels, they just don't give them the money. Lots of bad things
happen, but the forces deteriorate and they get smaller and they get poorer.
I've decided that the political context is such that the only way reform will
finally come about in the Russian military is that the deterioration goes
beyond the point to which these old generals can stand up there and resist it.
Clearly, they're not going to do it in a rational top-down way.

U18s now at home - John previews Fulham test
07 February 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
John McDermott has paid tribute to his counterparts at Fulham for switching Saturday's Under-18s match to our Training Centre.
We were due to be away in the Barclays Under-18s Premier League, but waterlogged pitches at the Cottagers' Motspur Park facility have seen the match moved.
John, our Academy Manager, is conscious of the backlog of fixtures facing us – and is thankful that Saturday's game can now go ahead.
"Their pitch is struggling down there and I think they'd just rather get their players playing and give up home advantage, so all credit to them for doing that," John said.
"I'd like to think we'd have done the same in a similar situation."
Fulham, like ourselves, are enjoying a tremendous season in the Barclays Under-18 Premier League and currently sit in top spot, three points above us – although we have a game in hand.
We lost 3-2 to the Cottagers in the FA Youth Cup last week, while we battled to a 2-2 draw in our previous domestic meeting back in November.
But as we get set for another contest, John has played down any talk of the title race being seriously affected by Saturday's result.
"There's loads more games left," John explained. "There's Under-21 games coming up , there's tournaments and we've got players going away.
"Youth football isn't like first team football. We're hoping that players might move up or get a loan or train with the first team. There's so many other permutations thrown into youth football that don't exist with senior football that I think to say this is a title decider is wrong and irrelevant.
"At the moment, from the games we've played, there's a draw and one win to them. We know it's going to be a tight game and hopefully the weather conditions that are being forecast don't actually come.
"It's a category A game in terms of quality tomorrow – hopefully it will be of a similar quality to our previous two and with the rub of the green hopefully we'll do well."

Information for Current and Potential Grantees
The Grant Opportunity Portal
The Grant Opportunity Portal is a one-stop shop for anyone interested in locating funding opportunities. State agencies have posted hundreds of upcoming and available procurements and are adding to the list on a daily basis. You can search for and download solicitations with no login required. Check out the Grant Opportunity Portal today!
The Grants Gateway
The Grants Gateway is the next step for organizations interested in doing business with New York State. State agency funding opportunities are posted on the Gateway for online application. Potential applicants can locate online opportunities by clicking View Opportunities on the user's Home page. State agencies review proposals on the system and make their awards. At point of award the Gateway automatically generates a standardized draft contract, including using the applicant's proposed budget and work plan. Thereafter, State agency and grantee staff can log in and work together to finalize and execute the agreement in real time. The Gateway also provides significant workload management tools allowing the State and grantees to plan for and manage toward on-time approvals. To date, 33 State agencies are using this functionality, over 2,000 applications have been processed and $1.2 billion has been awarded via the Grants Gateway.
Prequalification Overview
Pursuant to the New York State Division of Budget Bulletin H-1032 Revised, dated July 16, 2014, New York State has instituted key reform initiatives to the grant contract process which require that not-for-profits must register in the Grants Gateway and complete the Vendor Prequalification process. In the case of competitive grant opportunities:
Proposals received from not-for-profit applicants that have not Registered and are not Prequalified in the Grants Gateway on the proposal due date cannot be evaluated. Such proposals will be disqualified from further consideration.
In order to prequalify, not-for-profit organizations must submit an online Prequalification Application through the Grants Gateway. The Prequalification Application is comprised of five components to gauge organizational structure and the types of services provided. The required forms and document uploads are all part of the Document Vault. The Vendor Prequalification Manual detailing the requirements can be found in the Quick Links Section.
Prequalification Updates
Prequalification Progress (3/14/16)
To date, nearly 6,000 not-for-profits have been prequalified in the Grants Gateway and about 75% of those organizations maintain that prequalified status at any given time. There are currently over 150 Prequalificaiton Specialists across 33 State Agencies assisting these not-for-profits with their prequalification efforts.
Maintaining Prequalified Status (3/18/15)
In general, a not-for-profit retains its Prequalified status for a period of three years, as long as the organization keeps the information in the Document Vault up to date. Recent improvements to the system have made it easier than ever for a not-for-profit to maintain its Prequalified status.
Key Improvements:
When a not-for-profit opens its Document Vault to proactively update its information and key financial documents, it will remain Prequalified and eligible to compete for State grant funding. Likewise, when a not-for-profit's updates are pending review by the State, it will also remain Prequalified and eligible to compete for State grant funding.
These changes are consistent with the long term, fundamental goals and spirit of Grants Reform and the Prequalification process, and should further enhance a not-for-profit's ability to comply with Prequalification Requirements.
Please note that three of a not-for-profit's essential financial documents - the IRS990, Financial Statement and Charities Bureau filing - expire on an annual basis. As mentioned above, a not-for-profit that is proactive in maintaining the currency of these documents will have no issue. However, if these documents are allowed to expire the not-for-profit's Prequalification status expires as well, and it will not be eligible for State grant funding until its documentation is updated and approved, and Prequalified status is reinstated.
Prequalification Exemption (3/18/15)
Certain not-for-profit organizations may request exemption from Prequalification. These organizations must document their exemption at the time they register for the Gateway. Visit the Prequalification Exemption Quick Link for a listing of those organizations that may request exemption, and to learn how to do so.
Not for Profit Revitalization Act of 2013 (7/2/14)
Effective July 1, 2014, not-for-profit vendors wishing to prequalify to apply for State grant funding must:
Formally adopt a Conflict of Interest Policy regarding its directors, officers and key employees;
Formally adopt a Whistleblower Policy to protect employees from retaliation if they report suspected improper conduct. This requirement applies only to not-for-profits with 20 or more employees and an annual budget of more than one million dollars; and
Provide audit and fiscal documentation based on the thresholds outlined in the Vendor Prequalification Manual
Getting Started
A variety of resources are available to assist with the registration and prequalification. An online tutorial is available to walk users through the entire process. However, the basic steps are outlined below.

- After completing your Prequalification Application, click the Submit Document Vault Link located below the Required Documents section to submit your Prequalification Application for State agency review. Once submitted the status of the Document Vault will change to In Review.

Artist No. 2: Skrillex
Snapchat Handle: @skrillex
Why He's a Must-Follow: No one in EDM makes their life look more like a 24-hour party than Skrillex, who even manages to make long flights seem just as exciting as his 2 a.m. Vegas sets.

Artist No. 3: Kehlani
Snapchat Handle: @tsunami
Why She's a Must-Follow: Kehlani has a love-hate relationship with social media, but for the past few months she's been back Snapping away as she basks in the glow of her debut album's success.

Artist No. 4: 2 Chainz
Snapchat Handle: @hairweavekiller

Snapchat Handle: @djsnake

Most of us aren't too comfortable with the idea of buying technology stocks at the moment, especially in the volatile and highly competitive semiconductor market. But a couple of articles from Seeking Alpha over the past few days have highlighted a few things about GPS chipmaker SiRF that point to a stock buying opportunity. Albeit a risky one.
Currently and arguably, SiRF's biggest problem is the ongoing patent dispute with Broadcom. On August 8 the International Trade Commission ruled that SiRF did indeed infringe on Broadcom patents via the company's acquisition of Global Locate. Worse yet, August 26 brought forth a judge that recommended any devices containing SiRF products infringing Broadcom patents be banned from importation into the United States. Though the ruling is being appealed, if upheld SiRF would be forced to license said products through Broadcom obviously costing the company a lot of cash.
Seeking Alpha's Joe O'Donnell also argues that the patent dispute puts into question the value of SiRF's intellectual property, hurting its chances for acquisition.
BUT, SiRF's share price is sitting around $1.10, and while SiRF expects their cash on hand to decrease by $20 million to $60 million over the next two years, the company's book value is sitting at $215.6 million. What's interesting is that SiRF's market capitalization currently is only $64.8 million and its enterprise value is -$41.1 million. These number make SiRF's share price look undervalued.
But should you buy?
Joe O'Donnell would wait until the stock price drops another 25%. But another factor comes into play here. Remember that SiRF is a member of Google's Open Handset Alliance (so is Broadcom and Qualcomm) and is believed to be the provider of the GPS chipset in the T-Mobile G1 coming October 22. If this is the case, and T-Mobile really has had 1.5 million pre-ordered G1's, then SiRF's current market capitalization should be only a fraction of the revenues their Google partnership should generate.
Should SiRF formally announce October 22 that they are indeed the chipset supplier for the G1 then it would be reasonable to believe their $1.10 share price should move a little closer to the $2.79 book value. Seeking Alpha's Richard Jones is long SiRF, expecting the share price to top out around $1.75-$1.80 over the coming days.
So it's a tough call. One analyst is content to wait until SiRF's share price falls another 25% before buying even though he concedes it's undervalued. Another analyst expects the share price to skyrocket, relatively speaking, in the coming days. I'm torn. Until the patent dispute is settled I wouldn't buy and with the global economy in a rut and PND prices seemingly falling more everyday, the long term outlook for GPS chipmakers looks dark in my opinion.
I'll be watching SiRF's stock price closely October 22 and I'll say more than. But are you going to buy?

meyer lemon & key lime meltaways
I am the proud owner of a Meyer lemon tree and a Key Lime tree. These two dwarf trees have produced some of the best tasting citrus.
Being an avid lover of meltaway cookies, I thought I would add a bit more flavor, by adding both lemon and lime juice and zest (by the way, always use lots of zest.......you can't go wrong!). I took this picture in my kitchen, using my Kellog's Corn Flakes cup for some added flair. Recipe on it's way...........

Honeycomb Cake
I teach pastry at a culinary school. This week was final practicals. WOW.......What a week!! Some good and some bad. I hope that I do this correctly...but, I want to add a photo of a European Torte that one of my students created. The assignment was to come up with a torte that had either 3 types of cake and 2 fillings or vice versa. The torte that is in the photo has layers of almond genoise, honey meringue buttercream, fig gelee, goat cheese mousse and an almond jaconde. Not only did she make a fabulous tasting confection, she did a totally great job of decorating and displaying. Kudos to Stacy!!!!!!!

Noah Taylor
The lead role of Danny, the emotionally retarded, existentially angst-ridden wannabe writer in the throes of writer's block and a love triangle, is played by Noah Taylor, one of Australia's most accomplished film actors. Catapulted into international stardom by his leading role in the Academy-Award winning feature film Shine, Noah is now based in London. Since Shine he has had leading roles in the new Cameron Crowe film Almost Famous, Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie and in the UK film Simon Magus, with Rutger Hauer and most recently, Sleeping Dictionary with Bob Hoskins.
HE DIED WITH A FELAFEL IN HIS HAND was his first Australian film in four years. Noah first came to prominence in the John Duigan films The Year My Voice Broke and Flirting, produced by the Kennedy Miller company. He went on to star in The Nostradamus Kid, directed by Bob Ellis. Among Noah's other pursuits are drawing, painting and writing and playing music.

The Browns signed linebacker Mychal Kendricks and terminated the contract of linebacker Tank Carder on June 5.
Kendricks, 6-foot, 240 pounds, played six seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. He started 74 of 85 games and helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl in February with four tackles. He started 13 games in the 2017 regular season. He signed for one year and $3.5 million with the Browns.
Carder had a remarkable career with the Browns in that he was the longest tenured player on the roster but did little statistically in the six years he was with the team.
Carder was acquired on waivers from the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 1, 2012. He played in 77 games yet started only two games and made a total of 20 tackles from scrimmage. He broke up one pass in his career, had no interceptions, forced fumbles or fumble recoveries. He missed all of 2017 with a knee injury.
Carder made his biggest mark on special teams with 38 career tackles on kick and punt coverage. He once blocked a punt out of bounds for a safety in a game at Tennessee.
Kendricks, an outside linebacker most of his career with the Eagles, has experience playing inside in a 3-4 defense. He could challenge Joe Schobert for the Browns starting job at middle linebacker. Christian Kirksey and Jamie Collins are projected as the starting outside linebackers.

Letter from Alfred Merritt Smith (Carson City) to Ernest Cragin (Las Vegas), May 6, 1946
- Title
- Letter from Alfred Merritt Smith (Carson City) to Ernest Cragin (Las Vegas), May 6, 1946
- Individual Creator
- Description
- Letter written by the Nevada state engineer to the mayor of Las Vegas regarding the water use from the Las Vegas Aquifer, which was roughly equal to the recharge rate. The state engineer recommended that a group of property owners form a group, perhaps called the "Las Vegas Valley Water Improvement District" to pursue the acquisition of additional water from Lake Mead and thus allowing for future development and growth of the City of Las Vegas and surrounding areas.
