Reading doctrine through ideological glasses
The most pervasive problem facing the Catholic Church in America today is our predilection for reading both Scripture and Tradition through ideological glasses. If bad philosophy leads inevitably to bad science, it leads even more quickly to bad theology.
The left has a history of trying to reconcile Catholicism with socialism, even Marxism, despite the explicit condemnations of various popes beginning with Bl. Pius IX (cf. Syllabus of Errors). The right's version sometimes goes so far as to baptize Randian objectivism — to which Ayn Rand herself would have objected — but more often settles for its own version of the "health and wealth gospel"; i.e., invocation of free-market capitalism.
As I've outlined before, "cafeteria Catholicism" on the right tends to play a game I call the "appeal to theological weight". If a citation of pope or dicastery runs counter to a free-market position, the tactic is to claim it sits on a level of theological certainty low enough that a Catholic of good conscience can dispute or ignore it.
Even when the authority of a document, such as Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum, is treated as authoritative, it's creatively interpreted so that all the troublesome bits get ignored. For example, read this post in Ethika Politika, in which Gabriel S. Sanchez takes Joe Hargreaves to task for his sins of omission.
Scientific determinism explained
The remark about bad philosophy leading to bad science isn't irrelevant. The materialism assumed as a part of classical socialist theory, especially in Marxism, is irreconcilable with Christianity: either the immaterial exists, in which case socialism is faulty, or it doesn't, in which case all religions are faulty. Economics holds itself out as a science, and as such relies on the cause-effect thinking of determinism. And that may be a bigger problem than you might think.
Determinism, where physical interactions are involved, is pretty obviously true. The cue ball strikes the 6 ball; the momentum the 6 ball gains will exactly equal the momentum lost by the cue ball, and the 6 ball will travel in the direction opposite the angle at which the cue ball struck it.
Material cause and effect are also at work in our bodies, particularly our brains, where thoughts, feelings, memories and commands to various body parts zap back and forth across our synapses in a miniature electro-chemical storm. Damage the brain by any means, and those thoughts, feelings, memories and commands can be impaired.
The fatal fallacy of strict determinism
So much can be granted so long as one doesn't insist that this is all that's going on in the brain. When determinism, especially combined with materialism, goes so far as to deny the human power to make and act on choices, it goes too far: it turns what we normally mean by "reason" into an artifact of chemical and neural interactions over which we have no control. That reason appears to work is simply another illusion created by our programming, which we can no more resist or disbelieve than we can sprout wings with a wish.
Social science attempts the same thing — a wholly deterministic universe — using social influences rather than neurochemistry. However, it suffers from the same drawback: eliminate choice, and you eliminate reason. What we call "conscious decision-making" is merely the outcome of different social influences fighting over our responses. Of the two, the neuroscientist's determinism is the more complete and tyrannical because more concrete.
The odd thing is, scientists talk about the absence or "death" of free will as if the illusion of choice were simply a survival mechanism. Ali Mazaheri of the University of Amsterdam told Live Science's Tia Ghose, "The idea is that you have the illusion of free will as an artifact to be able to get through life."
However, if such a strict construction of determinism is true, then not only is reason an illusion, but so also is determinism as a reasoned conclusion. Whatever we think to be true, we "think" it because we literally have no choice not to do so. So, for that matter, is science — we think it works, not because we observe that it's produced so much knowledge and so many neat gadgets, but because physical forces beyond our control make us think so. Free will, then, is a necessary initial condition for reason qua reason to be anything but a neurochemical farce; Mazaheri's explanation is merely the babble of a philosophically untrained mind.
One possible source of this confusion is failure to keep the material cause-effect relationship of physical determinism distinct from the ground-consequent relationship of rational thinking. Another neuroscientist, Jesse Bengson at UC-Davis, told Ghose that "purposeful intentions, desires and goals drive our decisions in a linear cause-and-effect kind of way …", which is simply sloppy language use. Intentions, desires and goals are grounds, not causes, especially not causes in the sense that the cue ball's impact on the 6 ball is the cause of its movement; they have neither the regularity nor the inevitability of physical causes.
Is economics really a science?
At first glance, it would seem that economics is all about choices: whether to buy product A or product B, whether to raise or lower taxes, whether to invest or consume. Study it a bit, though, and its determinist colors show: the "free market" isn't really free.
For instance, every conservative talking head who's ever trashed a proposed minimum wage hike takes it for granted that, if it's passed into law, the resulting increase in prices will cause people to stop buying hamburgers and hiring janitors, which will cause massive unemployment, because people always act in their own self-interest. The implicit argument, the subconsciously understood premiss, is: "People can't help it; this behavior is encoded into their genes. They don't really have a choice."
Then we read about the thirteen states which experienced greater than average job growth after passing minimum-wage increase laws, and wonder whether economic determinism is really that well-founded in empirical fact. For while the job growth can't be attributed to the minimum wage hikes, neither can the predicted massive unemployment.
If French entrepreneur and writer Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry is correct, then economics as it is practiced is not only compromised by class bias but ill-founded as a science. As a "broken clock", it occasionally produces useful results and correct predictions; in other respects, however, it tries to explain a round economic world from a body of flat-earth theory.
Economic determinism isn't Catholic
Catholic doctrine, needless to say, is built on the premiss of free will, from the Fall to the Final Judgment (cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church 1730 – 1742). A reasonable determinism — that's to say, a determinism that allows for some degree of free will — is both philosophically and doctrinally acceptable; indeed, the Church accepts the validity of the social sciences so far as they accurately describe how people do behave.
It's only when social scientists assert that people can't act any other way that they come into conflict not just with the Church but with the reasonable limits of determinism. However, the only point of referring to economic theory is to assert that "the economy can't work any other way".
This is not only wrong but wrong-headed. If you believe in free will, you believe that people can change their behavior, which includes their economic behavior. The last argument a Catholic should ever turn to is an appeal to economic determinism.

Jamie says Middletown, PA lost power. She and a few others ventured out to take a look around the town and the entire substation for the area where she lives is flooded. She has pictures, but no way to send them at the moment (no power, no Internet).
Since she doesn't know how long it will take to repair, she is turning off her phone for the time being. More to come.
Middletown, PA has received 12.8 inches of rain since Tuesday.
Middletown, PA and the Susquehanna River
Thursday, September 8, 2011 10:30am Pacific Daylight Time
Jamie lives in Middletown, PA which sits off the Susquehanna River. Across Central Pennsylvania people have been ordered to leave their homes as the Susquehanna rises above flood stage.
Fortunately, Jamie lives downstream where the Susquehanna becomes nearly one mile wide, and the taller among us can typically walk across the entire waterway without getting their head wet (although such actions are strongly discouraged).
Interesting tidbit: the Susquehanna River System is regarded as the oldest or second oldest major system in the world being far older than the mountain ridges through which it runs. Evidence suggests the ancient Susquehanna predated the Appalachian orogeny meaning the river existed well before Pangaea broke up and formed the Atlantic Ocean.

NON-GMO Shopper's Guide
March 18, 2011
Today I'd like to share information about how to find NON-GMO food. Eating healthy, and adding more fruits and veggies to your diet is a great way to treat your body better, get in better shape and to improve your over all well being. Moving to Organics takes it up a notch and will help insure that you're not getting genetically modified foods.
You may say, Hey! What's wrong with it, if the FDA says it's ok then why can't I eat it? Well, the FDA says a lot of things. They are constantly approving drugs only to recall them later because they have been found to be harmful. We have not done a great deal of testing on GM foods. We do not know what the harm can be. Have you noticed that a lot of our children are being born with ADHD, ADD & Autism? Have you noticed that a lot of kids experience food allergies? Why is that? Have you noticed that as we move forward in medical and scientific research that we still have the highest number of cancers?
There's a reason for that. Your grandparents were able to eat Ham & Eggs every morning w/o having problems because they were eating just that "Ham" and "Eggs". Today, our hogs are fed what? What about the chickens? Any idea why it's cheaper to get a candy bar than an organic banana? High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS)! Yes! It's cheap and it's deadly! I'm not saying that all HFCS is GMO but the amount of corn that is grown today to make it IS.
When you take genetic material and move it around, you really don't have a clue what that does. Everyone freaked totally out when we cloned a sheep, but no one bats an eye, when we modify genes in plants and then EAT THEM????
I found a website called "The True Food Network", that offers a mobile download for your iPhone or Android Phone that you can use to check on if a food you're about to buy in the grocery store is a Non-GMO food. We in the US do not have the luxury of our Government requiring these Franken-foods to be labeled as they are in the UK.
Photo Credit
Want to avoid GMOs? Just go Organic, If a food product is labeled 100% organic and is labeled with and USDA Organic seal, it must be completely free of genetically modified products by government regulations. On the other hand, foods that are labeled "Made with Organic Ingredients" or simply "Organic" are not as tightly regulated and can contain GMOs. To be sure your food is GMO-free, buy USDA certified 100% organic food.
I keep hearing over and over and over, But it's sooo expensive to eat organic food. I beg to differ. Yesterday Jennifer Grayson, founding editor of The Red, White & Green, posted a video showing that she was able to buy all organic food and create a well balanced meal on $33 dollars a week. That's what the average food stamp recipient receives from the government.
This can be done! And remember, it's a buyers market, the more organic food we buy, the more they will replace it with new organic food. Wal-Mart doesn't really care if we buy chips or cucumbers, all they want to see is a SOLD sign. They will add what sells. They will remove what doesn't. If we want more organics available we have to buy the organics that are already out there.

Hepato-Pancreato Biliary Team
From 6th October 2014, the Tertiary Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) surgical service at North Manchester General Hospital by The Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust moved to and merged with the service provided at Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI) by Central Manchester Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CMFT). This created a single Tertiary specialist surgical site for Greater Manchester and Cheshire patients.
All patients still have the benefit of the diagnostic and treatment facilities, including out-patient clinics at their local Pennine Acute NHS Hospital. Some patients, who require Tertiary HPB surgery expertise are now being referred onwards by Pennine Surgery or Gastroenterology to the Tertiary HPB Surgery service at CMFT.

On Thursday, Wall Street Journal writer Kimberley A. Strassel cataloged a series of 2010 statements by President Barack Obama and his surrogates at the time the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued its first "Be On The Lookout" (BOLO) list for conservative groups in August 2010.
Strassel notes that on August 9, 2010, Obama blasted Americans for Prosperity, a group founded by the Koch Brothers: "Right now all around this country there are groups with harmless-sounding names like Americans for Prosperity, who are running millions of dollars of ads… And they don't have to say who exactly the Americans for Prosperity are. You don't know if it's a foreign-controlled corporation," warned Obama.
On August 21, 2010, Obama repeated the attack on "shadowy groups with harmless-sounding names," saying, "You don't know if it's a foreign-controlled corporation… The only people who don't want to disclose the truth are people with something to hide."
In September 2010, Obama continued to pound on conservative tax-exempt groups, repeating the talking points at several events. Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod and Democratic Senator Max Baucus repeated the anti-Koch talking points as well.
Meanwhile, notes Strassel, the Democratic Party followed up with fundraising on the theme and filed an IRS complaint against the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, alleging it had violated its tax-exempt status.
In October 2010, Obama ramped up the wattage and declared that conservative tax-exempt groups represented a "threat to our democracy."
Strassel's presentation of the coordinated 2010 Obama attacks against conservatives makes it clear that the context in which the IRS targeting that began that year was one surrounded by bombastic rhetoric fomented by Obama and his campaign apparatus.
"Yet we are to believe that a few rogue IRS employees just happened during that time to begin systematically targeting conservative groups?" writes Strassel. "A mere coincidence that among the things the IRS demanded of these groups were 'copies of any contracts with and training materials provided by Americans for Prosperity?'"

Laundrylux introduces 'pay-as-you-use' system
Laundrylux introduces 'pay-as-you-use' system
PLUS, a new "pay-as-you-use" system from Laundrylux, was introduced at Clean 2013 in New Orleans.
PLUS sends the equipment, parts and labor to the provider. Customers pay a fixed charge per cycle to use the washers and dryers, with no lease, contract or cash involved. Usage is tracked electronically and billed automatically.
The system is reimbursable through Medicare cost reporting forms for skilled nursing facilities, hospices, hospitals and other healthcare facilities, the company said.
It allows customers to "take advantage of a financial model for laundry services that is less expensive over years than purchasing and repairing capital equipment themselves," says Kim Shady, senior vice president of OPL and national accounts for Laundrylux.

Oakland, Ca., Mayor Jerry Brown says that passage of a ballot measure to modify the state's "three strikes" law would "wreak havoc" in his city and in communities all over the state, says the Sacramento Bee. "Under this law, you're going to cut loose thousands of people who the prosecutors of this state – all 58 of them – think should be locked up for the rest of their lives," Brown told a legislative hearing on Proposition 66.
The initiative seeks to rework the toughest-in-the nation "three strikes" law, one the Legislature passed, former Republic Gov. Pete Wilson signed and 72 percent of the voters approved in 1994. Backers of Proposition 66 say it is needed to keep relatively minor third-strike felons from being sentenced to state prison for 25 years to life, at an annual cost to taxpayers of about $31,000 each. Opponents say the law works exactly as intended, imposing lengthy terms on offenders with serious and violent criminal histories who continue to pick up felony convictions, even if just for shoplifting or possessing illegal drugs.

NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes grants broaden and deepen understanding of the humanities in supporting professional development programs, specifically designed for a national audience of K-12 educators or college and university faculty. The programs provide one- to four-week opportunities for participants (NEH Summer Scholars) to explore a variety of topics relevant to K-12 or undergraduate education in the humanities.
NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes
focus on the study and teaching of significant texts and other resources;
provide models of excellent scholarship and teaching;
contribute to the intellectual growth of the of participants; and
build lasting communities of inquiry.
An NEH Summer Seminar or Institute may be hosted by a college, university, learned society, center for advanced study, library or other repository, cultural or professional organization, or school or school system. The host site must provide facilities for collegial interaction and scholarship. The program must be held only in the United States and its territories.
Seminars and Institutes are designed either for K-12 educators or for college and university faculty. Programs for K-12 educators must involve someone with significant K-12 experience in both project planning and implementation and must respond to K-12 curricular needs.
A Seminar provides an intimate and focused environment in which sixteen participants study a specific humanities topic under the guidance of one or two established scholars. Seminars have few, if any, visiting faculty. They emphasize sustained interaction among the participants and director(s) through discussion of common readings, conversations about teaching, and advising on independent projects.
An Institute allows twenty-five to thirty-six participants to pursue an intensive program of study under a team of scholarly experts, who present a range of perspectives on a humanities topic. Participants and scholars mutually explore connections between scholarship about and the teaching of the topic.
Information about Preliminary Draft Proposals
Prospective applicants may submit a draft of their proposal for staff comment (note that submission of draft proposals is optional) no later than January 22, 2018.
Recent Changes to the Program
Staffing: For school teacher projects, both project planning and implementation require at least one faculty or staff member with a background or significant experience in K-12 education.
Participants: Seminars and Institutes for school teachers must reserve three and five spaces, respectively, for teachers who are new to the profession (those who have been teaching for five years or less).
Participants: Seminars for college faculty must include among the participants three or more non-tenured/non-tenure-track faculty; they may include up to two spaces for advanced graduate students. Institutes for college and university faculty must include among the participants five or more non-tenured/non-tenure-track faculty; they may include up to three spaces for advanced graduate students.
Reference Letters: The instructions for submitting reference letters (required only for project directors who have not previously directed an NEH summer program) have changed.
Program Statistics
In the last five competitions the Summer Seminars and Institutes program received an average of 144 applications. The program made an average of 49 awards per competition, for a funding ratio of 34 percent.
The number of applications to an NEH grant program can vary widely from competition to competition, as can the funding ratio. Information about the average number of applications and awards in recent competitions is meant only to provide historical context for the current competition. Information on the number of applications and awards in individual competitions is available from sem-inst[at]neh[dot]gov.

This rub is ideal for sirloin. The aggressiveness of the flavors will tenderize and carry flavor to the center of the steak. Because the rub is not pureed, you will not have to worry about burning the outside of the steaks during longer cooking times.
Combine all ingredients and mix to incorporate. Rub steaks about one hour before grilling, using only enough to coat the steak. (This recipe should be enough for about four steaks.)

The Honorable Mark Sanford
Office of the Governor
P.O. Box 12267
Columbia, SC 29211
Dear Governor Sanford:
On behalf of the National Taxpayers Union's nearly 4,400 members in South Carolina, I urge you to consider your laudable previous opposition to a cigarette tax increase, and to veto the 50 cent-per-pack tax increase on cigarettes that the State Senate recently passed.
A tax increase on cigarettes is not what South Carolinians need in the midst of a painful recession. Raising the tax from seven to 57 cents in this economic climate would hammer individuals and businesses alike, especially the poor and small businesses. Your veto of this misguided proposal would send a clear message to the Legislature and taxpayers that the best way to solve South Carolina's budget woes is to trim spending and reform, rather than raise taxes.
While some see cigarettes as easy targets for taxation, the reality is that tobacco tax hikes are very burdensome to small businesses and the poor and they rarely, if ever, produce the promised revenue. Currently, South Carolina has the lowest cigarette tax rate in the nation. But if enacted, this tax increase would suddenly put South Carolina's convenience stores at a competitive disadvantage as their cigarettes will cost more than those sold in neighboring North Carolina. When South Carolina's unemployment rate stands at nearly 13 percent, a job-killing tax increase on small businesses makes no economic sense.
This recessionary tax increase will impact far more than the small business community. Since the poor are more likely to smoke, South Carolina's low-income families, especially those who live along the depressed Interstate 95 Corridor, will disproportionately feel the pinch of this tax. With a federal cigarette tax increase already having taken effect, the legislation passed by the Senate would amount to a one-two punch on South Carolina's worst-off citizens. Furthermore, as the combined federal-state cigarette levy climbs and consumption decreases, South Carolina will be faced with a dwindling pot of revenues. That's all the more reason why policymakers should instead focus on spending restraint and tax reform to keep the state's fiscal condition healthy over the long term.
Now is not the time to raise taxes, including those on tobacco products. Taxpayers are counting on you to continue to do what's right for South Carolina by vetoing the 50 cent-per-pack tax increase on cigarettes.

State Government Affairs Manager

Review: Gift of Gab – Next Logical Progression
Published on September 11th, 2012 | Jonny Abrams
Gift of Gab's third solo LP continues in a similarly laid-back and perspective-bound vein to its predecessors, 2004'a 4th Dimensional Rocketships Going Up and 2009's Escape 2 Mars, and as he explained to Rocksucker when we spoke to him recently it is the first project he had an input to musically as well as lyrically.
Having hit such great heights with Chief Xcel as Blackalicious – 1999's Nia and 2002's Blazing Arrow are two of this writer's most cherished albums, while 2005's The Craft is only marginally less perfect – Gab's whirlwind flows tend to be rested on his solo output, like a sport team saving their key players for a big match. Next Logical Progression opener "NLP", however, is primo Gab, his inflection rising skywards as he gets into full flow in that utterly peerless way of his. G. Koop's beats aren't as multi-faceted as Xcel's, but they're sufficiently funky and melodic to make for apt accompaniment to Gab's thoughtful, inviting flow.
Oh, and in "Elevate to the heavens just by making rhymes to beats" he, unwittingly or otherwise, sums up the afore-described rapture his most energised and/or creative deliveries can conjure. Next Logical Progression may not boast an "Alphabet Aerobics" or "Chemical Calisthenics" but, then, why should it? There's enough loveliness to cover for the relative lack of adventure, which in any case mightn't have been appropriate for such pensive rhymes as "My fan base is not what I grew up around / I'm touring the world but my folks are still struggle-bound / The more I learn the more I learn I don't know nothing" on the snugly Jackson 5-y "Rise", featuring contributions from Raashan Ahmas and Zumbi.
Gab's as breathless and tight as ever on "Protocol" – it can still be hard to keep up with what he's saying but his voice is endlessly listenable regardless – and the Samantha Kravitz-sung chorus of "MCs come and MCs go / Street cred big but they can't flow / Please respect my protocol / One by one I'll drop them all / Just call me a conscious fool / Who rhymes circles all round you / Please respect my protocol / One by one I'll kill you all" provides a welcomely confrontational counter to the self-examination present elsewhere.
His legendariness George Clinton chips in with a marvelously barmy chorus on "Everything is Fine", notable also for a brilliantly enunciated Gab flow that recalls Blazing Arrow cut "Green Light: Now Begin", his hat-tipping reference to himself as "the godson of the funk", and the verses handled with characteristic flair by fellow Quannum-ites Latyrx; the Martin Luther-featuring "Toxic" then sees Gab asking "Why would I want to be with a woman who makes me crazy? / Maybe because I'm crazy" over a quickstepping beat and air of the frantic which amount to something akin to a coked-up version of The Craft's "Powers", before the strange yet thoroughly entertaining "Wack but Good People" oresents Gab in a rapping discourse with a menacing, pitch-lowered voice that sounds a bit like the bad guy from The Mask when he puts on the mask. Throw in fluttery flute samples and a strutting beat…well, you've sealed yourself a rather unexpected deal there, mister.
The Jurassic 5-esque "Effed Up" – undue caution with the censoring perhaps given that the word 'fuck' has already featured on the album a few times by this point – sends a delightful mute trumpet to make tea and sympathy with the chorus "It's effed up when a girl treats you bad / And later on you find out that she's doing bad / And deep down inside that makes you feel glad / It's effed up, and I don't wanna be like that". Kudos too for the "woah…woah…woah…" phrased to sound like something spinning to a halt.
On "Market & 8th" Gab contemplates all the different walks of life all within one block in San Francisco, shining a light on the local poverty without surrendering the musical feelgood factor, and it's paired with another stroll through Gab's conscience in the form of the Ms. K-featuring "Dream Warrior". By the time "So So Much" takes in such musings as "It's been a hell of a ride / I wouldn't change anything if I could", "Everybody got a purpose / God is the employer, we're all just workers" and "Every day's a blessing / Every day's a lesson", you suspect that Gab's recent health issues have cultivated a perspective on life that would unavoidably dictate proceedings on this album. Next Logical Progression is a document of a great rapper at a meaningful time in his life, one which holds plenty of joy for those who don't harbour unrealistic expectations of a 70-minute magnum opus a la Blazing Arrow.
Nia-ish closer "Beyond Logic" issues a string of shout-outs that begins with G. Koop and extends to the whole world, the whole universe and then the whole multiverse. Next Logical Progression is certainly accessible but it's hard to imagine Gift of Gab's unique voice ever crossing into the mainstream as long as the masses continue to slaver for base-level rapping and lowest-common-denominator lyrical content. Treasure this guy.

Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas Judge Steven O'Neill rebuffed the argument on Friday (Saturday NZT), saying he could not stop the jury as long as it was willing to continue mulling whether the 79-year-old was guilty of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.

May was bundled into a waiting auto by police and a video posted by Channel 4 news shows a woman being held back outside the vehicle. "It was a death trap, and they knew it", one person shouted as demonstrators surged inside the offices of the Kensington and Chelsea council, responsible for managing the social housing block in a working-class enclave of one of Britain's richest districts.
The fire forced residents to flee through black smoke down the single stairwell, jump out of windows or even drop their children from the 120-apartment building. Following the meeting, Mrs May released a strongly-worded statement in which she said on-the-ground support for families in the immediate aftermath of the blaze "was not good enough".
The fire that consumed London's Grenfell Tower , tragically killing at least 30 people, may have dissipated, but it has once again focused attention on the city's social housing crisis. "It is hard to escape a very sombre national mood", Elizabeth said in a message on her official birthday. In recent years, London's skyrocketing home prices and housing shortage have left residents struggling.
Harbaugh had a number of famous honorary captains previous year, including Michael Jordan , Tom Brady and Hank Aaron. Harbaugh was in Washington last week for a congressional hearing and had a chance to meet with the Obamas and extend the invitation.
General Manager Bob Myers, who helped assemble the Warriors lineup after the franchise spent years as the league's laughing stock, and savvy owner Joe Lacob fill out the rest of the team . "I don't believe in that". Whereas Obama could kid around about the team because he is an actual basketball fan, and the players, some of whom he had worked with personally.
Aside from the system's incredible complexity-U.S. air traffic controllers handle about 50,000 flights every day-and general concerns over safety, it's those increased user fees that have opponents in Congress and the aviation world anxious most.
Looks like " Bachelor in Paradise " just got a little bit too real. TMZ reports that the situation allegedly involved contestants DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios , who were both well-known personalities from their respective appearances in the "Bachelor" franchise.
Since then, the lawmaker has undergone multiple surgeries and procedures to stop the bleeding and fix bone. They managed to control the internal bleeding, and his vital signs have stabilized. "So we all owe Steve a big, big thank you". The person did not disclose the names, but said those listed had been briefed. Scalise was hit as a gunman sprayed bullets into a GOP congressional baseball practice outside Washington D.C.
It followed a separate, smaller protest at Kensington Town Hall , where residents tried to air their grievances to councillors. Police expect the number of dead to increase, but have not put a figure on it. Residents said they had been complaining for years about lax standards while aspects of a recent $13 million refurbishment to the building have fallen under suspicion of allowing the fire to spread more rapidly than expected.
The underperformance of The Mummy domestically could have a ripple effect on the future of Universal's Dark Universe , a planned monster movie universe set to include famous creatures like the Bride of Frankenstein , the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Phantom of the Opera.
Predicting when the congressman would be released from the hospital was hard, the doctor said, adding that "he will require a period of healing and of rehabilitation". The latest out of Northern Virginia: "The firearms recovered after a gunman opened fire on a Republican congressional baseball practice and injured five people in Alexandria, Virginia, appear to have been purchased legally, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other authorities said Thursday".
Beyonce has given birth to her twins, according to reports in U.S. media. The news is also reported in Us Weekly and Entertainment Weekly magazines. Beyoncé's pregnancy forced her to cancel her headlining appearance at Coachella in April, although she is set to headline the 2018 festival. Beyoncé used Instagram to reveal her pregnancy.
Target tumbled by 10 percent and Walmart was down by 6 percent. Amazon also offers grocery shipments elsewhere, but that's tough with perishable foods. "This is an quake rattling through the grocery sector as well as the retail world", said Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst for Bankrate.com. In exchange for this strategic deviation, Amazon gets access to a slew of wealthy customers and information about their food-buying habits.
This year's baseball game, played at Nationals Park in Southeast Washington , looks to be a place where members can show it. And I have a feeling that Steve has made a great sacrifice, but there could be some unity being brought to our country.
James fired back with a few examples of superteams before he even joined All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami seven seasons ago. The All-Star forward said while he respects Cavs forward LeBron James , he didn't forget James taking jabs at the Warriors after losing the finals up 3-1 in the series past year.
What's more, the global singer has not revealed any recent photos on social networks and, as we know, since she announced her pregnancy, Queen B is everywhere. But that's not all Obama's video - possibly - revealed about Jay Z , whose real name is Shawn Carter . In the video, Mr. Obama related to Jay Z by noting similarities in their upbringings.
To celebrate the occasion, Spotify has created a "This Is: Taylor Swift" playlist . The pop songstress releases her music on all streaming services , according to a social media announcement. The album included the song "Bad Blood", which is widely interpreted to be about her feud with Perry. Perry kept her mouth shut until this year when she had to do press in preparation for the release of her new album.
Interestingly, the National Basketball Association superstar, who made his seventh appearance at this year's National Basketball Association finals, distanced himself from the label. What's more, Green is exhausted of the idea that the Warriors cheated the system by adding Durant in free agency last summer. The Cavaliers are, thanks to James, in a financial pickle from all the roster spending they've done over the past three years.
Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy told The Associated Press that 24 people were being treated in hospitals, including 12 in critical condition. Another said: "It was a death trap and they knew it ". London has a chronic housing shortage even in the best of times , and those left homeless by the fire - already angry over what they see as government inequity and incompetence - fear being forced out of the British capital.
The gunman was shot and killed at the scene after police returned fire. Bailey is a member of Congressman Steve Scalise's protective detail. Staffers and family members were also there. Representatives on both teams made a decision to go forward with the game, which got underway at 7 p.m. Trump tweeted , "Just left hospital". The hospital says Scalise "will require additional operations, and will be in the hospital for some time".
Many people from the 120 flats remain missing, with relatives and friends desperately appealing for information. When asked on Thursday about why she did not meet residents or visit a local community centre, May said she wanted to visit the scene of the incident to be briefed by the emergency services.

Hey guys
long time no post, anyway I'm gonna try be as frequent with my post as possible.
So I've had this Gap coat since the beginning of the year and only ever wore it once. I have to admit i was more tempted to buy it because it was only £2, I couldn't resist. i was tired of seeing it just sitting there in my wardrobe so I decided to re vamp it. I've been loving the whole 70s shearling coat trend that I've been seeing everywhere. So I thought why not give it a go myself. I have a video up on my channel of the transformation, just click the link below.

The set of whole numbers is exactly equivalent to the set of non negative integers.
Examples of Whole Numbers
Some examples of whole numbers are 4, 5, and 89,453,711.
Any fraction, decimal, negative number or imaginary number is not a whole number. For example, -5, 6.788, and 4/5 are not whole numbers.
The Set of Whole Numbers
The set of whole numbers is closed under addition and multiplication. What that means is that for all whole numbers a and b, a + b = c and a b = d will also be whole numbers.
Just as 6 + 7 = 13 and 6 · 7 = 42 are whole numbers, the sum or product of any two whole numbers will also be whole.
The set of whole numbers isn't closed under division and subtraction. For any whole number a, there is another whole number b such that a – b = c and a / b = d are not whole numbers.
Example: 7 and 9 are whole numbers, but 7 – 9 = -2, which is not a whole number. 4 and 5 are whole numbers, but 4/5 is not a whole number.
Properties of Whole numbers
Whole numbers are commutative under addition and multiplication . For every a, b in the set of whole numbers, a + b = b + a and a · b = b a.
Whole numbers are associative under addition and multiplication. For every a, b, and c in the set of whole numbers, a(b·c) = (a·b) · c and (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).
The set of whole numbers includes an additive identity 0 so that a + 0 = a for every whole number a. It also includes a multiplicative identity 1 so that 1 · a = a.
Another Definition of Whole Number
Sometimes the set of whole numbers is defined to exclude zero. Then it is equivalent to the set of natural numbers, and can be written as {1,2,3,4,5….}
Extending the Natural Numbers to the Wholes------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Gentlemen of the court, there are times that I'm ashamed to be a member of the human race and this is one such occasion."
This movie was so good! I'm impressed that Stanley Kubrick can make such scathing satires and dark dramas about the absurdity of how we wage wars. But I'm pretty sure I'm not ready for A Clockwork Orange (1971). Who am I kidding, I'll probably never be ready!

The greatest power to change your world
lies within you
No one can control or change this.
Control can only happen if you let it.
When you recognise the hold
that the artificial intelligence of ego has over you,
when you become the witness and watcher to your mind
you dissolve its power of control.
Time based ego cannot survive
in present moment awareness,
the power of change has always been in you

Dear Stephen, I am sorry to hear that you are feeling depressed. My suggestions for crystals to help when you are feeling the blues* are Lepidolite , Lithium Quartz , Kunzite and Amazonite .
Lepidolite – Helps to balance emotions and emotional shifts. (use under a pillow when you sleep)
Lithium Quartz – Brings peace to the emotional energy body.(carry with you everywhere, shirt pocket would be best)
Kunzite – Opens up the aura to receive love from the universe.(Place on your heart chakra, you may want to try a pendant under a shirt)
Amazonite – Encourages a sense of calm when the mind keeps going round and round and doesn't see a way out. (keep this around your home and work environment to help the energy of spaces).
I hope that these recommendations can be of assistance and that crystals grace your journey with love and light.
Crystal Blessings!

Love found them when they least expected it, and I thought the way they supported each other was beautiful. TJ was totally there for Zachary when he hit rock bottom, and toward the end of the book, they changed places. Zachary provided support to TJ when he needed it most, showing not only how strong they were as a couple, but how far Zachary had come over the course of his story.
I also loved the fantastic wind-up toys TJ taught Zachary to make. When I was writing Who I Used to Be, the upcycled animals and fantasy creatures were strictly a product of my imagination. But after the book came out, readers started sending me photos of what they imagined the wind-up toys to look like. More often than not, the work they sent me was that of artist Sue Beatrice of All Natural Arts, as pictured here:
I don't think all of Ms. Beatice's artworks are wind-ups, but the overall look, especially that dragon in the bottom photo, is very much what I pictured when I was imagining what TJ and Zachary might create. As I've mentioned before, I have a great deal of respect and admiration for people in the arts, which is why write so many artists. I also think there's something magical about starting with what others consider junk and turning it into art (as in the the scrap metal that Skye works with, or the obsolete electronics TJ scavenges for parts).
Next week, I'll be talking about another, very personal aspect of Who I Used to Be. Thanks for reading!

oil on linen on panel / 7x5" /unframed / sold
How this painting will look framed:
How this painting will look framed:
Popcorn and Oil was a delight to paint. This painting was a lesson in edges. I loosely painted in the shape for all the popcorn pieces and the bottle of oil. Onto the cool white mass of popcorn, I applied warm white paint heavily (impasto) to pull out the shape of selected pieces of popcorn. Notice whereever there is impasto, the edges are hard-bringing that portion of the popcorn forward giving the popcorn pieces dimension.
The challenge was to maintain the shimmer of the oil in the bottle and make the bottle look glass-like, a liquid and a solid. The top left side of the bottle almost disappears (a soft edge) into the background. The top right side of the bottle is very solid looking (hard edge). To keep the viewer's eye away from the edges, I placed a highlight on the glass to draw the viewer's attention to the bottle. To keep the oil looking liquid-like, I painted very soft golden edges.
Are the edges convincing?

In addition to regularly featured WSJ content, new and existing subscribers will now have access to The Wall Street Journal on wsj.com, on iOS and Android, and via ePaper.
The WSJ access is being promoted by a campaign "What happens there – matters here" that will feature in print, social and digital.
The Australian's chief executive Nicholas Gray said the addition of The Wall Street Journal ensured subscribers to The Australian received the best, most thought-provoking and credible reporting in the world.
Editor-in-chief of The Australian Paul Whittaker said WSJ access was especially timely and relevant, given the upcoming Republican and Democratic conventions and the Presidential election in America.
"Not only will our members receive the context and insight they expect from our coverage, led by foreign editor Greg Sheridan, they will now have unrivalled analysis and reporting of the US election via The Wall Street Journal," he said. "No other news outlet can provide such comprehensive coverage of the weeks and months to come."
The service is in addition to other entitlements that include full digital access on all devices, a Daily Edition app for news updates on tablet and mobile, and access to member benefits program, The Australian Plus.
The March 2016 Audit Bureau of Circulations figures show The Australian's total paid Monday-Friday circulation is now in excess of 170,000 for the first time – driven largely by 14.5 per cent year-on-year growth in digital subscriptions.

The Thatched Tea House is the centrepiece of the Japanese Garden at Tatton Park. It was commissioned by the 3rd Lord Egerton in 1910 and is one of the best examples of an English Edwardian interpretation of the Oriental style.
The gardens have recently been restored to their original – if not authentic state.
This is one of the most complete historic estates open to visitors. The early 19th-century Wyatt house sits amid a landscaped deer park and is opulently decorated, providing a fine setting for the Egerton family's collections of pictures, books, china, glass, silver and specially commissioned Gillows furniture. The theme of Victorian grandeur extends into the garden, with its Fernery, Orangery, Rose Garden, Tower Garden, Pinetum, and Italian and Japanese gardens. The restored Walled Garden includes a Kitchen Garden and magnificent glasshouses, where traditional methods of gardening are used.

Melissa Rauch, husband Winston welcome daughter Sadie Rauch!
Mrs. Carter: There's some very happy news to report here today when it comes to The Big Bang Theory star Melissa Rauch!
Just a few weeks before Christmas, the actress confirmed via a post on Instagram that she and her husband Winston Rauch have welcomed a baby girl in Sadie Rauch. Christmas came early for these two new parents this year! Take a look at some of what she had to say on the subject:
I am beyond over the moon to share that our beautiful baby girl, Sadie Rauch, has arrived and our hearts are bursting at the seams with love for her. I will never take for granted the difficult road it took to get here. To those on that road: I'm sending you so much love today and always.
In this message, Rauch is referring to a miscarriage that she previously suffered prior to getting pregnant with Sadie. It's a heartbreaking story that many women out there can relate to, one that she previously discussed at the time of her pregnancy announcement. She and Winston are now proud parents, but they are not forgetting what came before. The two now get a chance to ring in the holidays with a new baby girl, and it's one of the most wonderful times of the year (to quote a popular song) in order to bring a baby into the world.
What's coming up for Bernadette?
As many fans of The Big Bang Theory know Rauch's character is currently expecting her second child with husband Howard Wolowitz. The pregnancy took the two by surprise and it's not entirely clear yet when the baby will be born on the show. Their first daughter in Halley is voiced by Better Things actress Pamela Adlon — the baby never appears on screen similar to Howard's late mother, but you do often hear her crying. If the writers choose to do the same thing with the new baby, what that could mean is that Howard and Bernadette's house is about to get very loud and chaotic.

Being a Middle Child
Being a middle child and a second daughter is no light task. In fact, it requires skill and aptitude beyond what most adults can imagine! My job is composed of several different elements.
First of all, I'm the chief complainer in my family. In most families, the youngest or the oldest boy is the champion whiner. Not in our family. I take it upon myself to point out and expound every problem in our family, our house, and our home. For example: Mom! Our schedule gives me three minutes to do algebra! (Actually a perfectly relevant point!) Another example: Dad! The toilet's overflowing! Again!! (Also a perfectly relevant point…) and my last example: Mom! He's picking his nose again! (Ugh!) Those are just a few of the daily objects the chief complainer absolutely must whine about on a regular basis.
Along with being chief complainer in our family, I am also resident cynic. This job includes being serious for most of the time, and interjecting my down-to-earth, sometimes dark views for the exasperation of the rest of my family. It works amazing well for most issues that come up.
My trustworthy workplace motto is: "No one should be too euphoric for too long." Being resident cynic will also improve your reflexes, as the not-so-lovely truth will tend to make people less charitable toward your person.
While being resident cynic has its ups and downs, it has nothing on being the family cultural consultant. This job description is comprised of knowing every song played on the radio today on every station, having a perfectly dizzying mental rolodex of the lyrics to nearly every song, and keeping up on the latest movies, TV shows, magazines, books and bands.
But along with being well-versed in media of all types, it is useful to have a working knowledge of nearly every automobile on the roads today. It is always nice to know the difference between a Cobra, a Viper, and a Cayman—the first is made by Ford, the second by Dodge, and the last by Porsche. And it's also helpful to know how Porsche is pronounced! Vehicle knowledge is an important element if you wish to become a private cultural consultant.
And last but not least, it is helpful to be fluent in every sort of wholesome slang in today's world. For example: the word "shorty" and the word "emo." "Shorty" is a term of endearment given by the hip-hop crowd to girlfriends, and "emo" is a description of a musical or personal style in which emotion is used excessively. Knowing many internet terms is an optional benefit to knowing large amounts of slang.
And lastly, I am acknowledged as the wordsmith in our family. My use of words will probably never cease to startle, amuse and enlighten my family. One of my favorite words is "maligned." As in, "Ooh! An insult! I've been maligned! I'll never speak to you again!" If that sounds familiar to you, it probably is. Yes, it is true: I get a lot of my vocabulary from Calvin and Hobbes. Also, as my family will attest, I will read the dictionary for no apparent reason. The fact that I rarely speak around people is simply a mask for the fact that my sisters cannot get me to be quiet. Being a wordsmith is not a particularly demanding job, but it is one of the most enjoyable components of being a middle child in our family.
To summarize, that is a little about what it takes to be a middle child. Contrary to popular belief, middle children are not less unique than oldest or youngest children. If anything, they are forced to maintain a more unique outlook on life because of their position in the family.
While there is nothing wrong with being a first or youngest child, being a middle has many perks. Although the pay is not particularly good.

That awkward moment when Xant realizes that he wasted hours on training a work-related skill.
If you can't crank out this bad boi in 1 test without any failures you're a loser and should get your slow old man fingers checked.
Meanwhile at Xant's house:
