That is what Delta airlines says to me whenever I fly with David anywhere. Owing to his very frequent work-related travel, David has reached Diamond Medallion Status on Delta. For those of you unfamiliar with the Medallion status system on Delta, let me put it in a way that can be easily understood if you are at all familiar with the British social hierarchies of a bygone era. Obtaining Diamond Medallion status on Delta is akin to being a British royal. If you make it to Platinum, you might be considered a member of the greater nobility – a non-royal Duke like the Duke of Norfolk or Devonshire, something like that. Gold Status is for your lesser nobility, maybe a Baron. It is pretty good, but not that great. So what does it mean if, like me, you just have Silver Medallion status? Well, welcomed to ordinary, landed Gentryville. You may be a little bit better off than the masses struggling over overhead baggage space who are forced to board the plane last, but you can forget about those upgrades. Those are reserved for the royalty. So when David and I fly together, he gets upgraded, I get stuck back in Coach.
This recalls two moments from pop culture in my childhood. Guess the movie where this exchange comes from:
"Don't you fee like a heel flying first class with all your kids back in
coach?" Kay asks Peter.
"No, the kids are fine. the only flying I did as a boy was in the back of
the families station wagon, and it wasn't to France. The kids are okay.
They're having the time of their lives," says Peter.
"Yeah," says Kay.
In this case David =feeling like a heel, Leslie = kids who may or may not have been having the time of their lives (news flash – the "kids" (Leslie) were not having the time of their lives watching the proles fight over baggage space).
Second reference:
This is how David and I negotiated who took his upgrade on each leg of our recent trip. Of course, the problem is, I have flown first class, thanks to David's many miles purchasing upgrades before. I have flown business class overseas. I do know the difference. And even though first class on domestic flights these days rarely feature meals and I don't take advantage of the free alcohol benefits, there still is a difference. But just like on Seinfeld, when we flew business class to Spain recently, we did get ice cream sundaes. "More ice cream?" "More everything!"
Air travel turns me into such an elitist. I have to say that nothing causes me to feel a greater sense of entitlement than flying on a plane. If you ever have occasion to meet me in an airport, I apologize in advance for what a jerk I probably will be. This is why that it is good news that as a result of David making Diamond status this year, he can gift me Gold status next year. A chance to move up the pecking order! More honors and benefits! This recalls another pop culture reference that properly displays my feelings on this whole Medallion business:
Finally, here is a benefit we can enjoy together – David in the Sky Club at the Orlando airport. Because after five days of dealing with the masses at theme parks, a good aristocrat needs their own special room in which to relax.

Moscow: President Dmitry Medvedev joked that he "sometimes itches" to execute civil servants convicted of corruption, Russian news agencies reported on Sunday.
"The severity of punishment has never been the most important thing for us. Of course, in other countries, you gun down civil servants in public but in our society it is not the same," he said.
"But I sometimes itch to do something like that," he said, during a visit to the southern Urals` Bashkortostan region.
Medvedev made the remark as he called for "effective" anti-corruption measures.
Though Medvedev has made tackling corruption one of his key priorities, he has admitted only having limited success at beating the problem.
Medvedev, who has been President since 2008 has agreed to step aside to let Prime Minister Vladimir Putin run for his old job again in presidential elections due in March.
He is currently campaigning for Legislative Elections next month.

Socially responsible design is to be the theme for Mexico City, in its role as World Design Capital next year.
The theme was chosen by organisers to reflect "an ambition to promote the role of design and creativity as agents of social and cultural change within the urban context."
With a population that has grown from 5.5 million in 1960 to 22 million today, the Mexican capital is constantly battling the urban challenges associated with rapid urbanisation, including housing, mobility and sustainability.
The theme will be broken down into four key objectives: generating opportunities, empowering civil society, preserving heritage and transforming respectfully.
The event will give those in the design community a chance to voice their thoughts on the ever-changing megacity, and showcase their efforts toward building a more liveable, more international city.
The city was chosen as the 2018 World Design Capital in 2015 following a competitive selection process to find a place to celebrate and showcase the positive use of design as an effective tool for economic, social and cultural development.
"Mexico City has a vibrant design scene, which has gained increased international attention over the last few years," said Emilio Cabrero, general director of the event.
"Today, World Design Capital presents an opportunity to challenge and demonstrate our ability to use design solutions to address the social and urban challenges our city is facing."
An open call for applicants will be launched ahead of the World Design Capital 2018 that will offer up to 50 international design professionals the opportunity to work in Mexico City for a period of three weeks in June 2018.
This residency programme strives "to open up an international dialogue for participants to work on the practical implementation of projects addressing housing, mobility, public space and sustainability".

Note: Proper medical supervision is highly recommended for this condition.
A bed sore, also known as a pressure sore or pressure ulcer, is an open wound on the skin that is common among people who are confined to their bed or a wheelchair for extended periods of time.
One of the main causes of bed sores is undue pressure and friction on the skin. This can happen after lying or sitting on a certain area for long periods. It can also occur due to wearing soiled clothing or undergarments for long periods.
People who have difficulty moving due to poor health, weakness, paralysis, sedation and coma are at higher risk of getting bed sores.
Other common risk factors include fragile skin due to age, diabetes, loss of sensation in body parts, weight loss during prolonged illnesses, poor nutrition, dehydration, very dry skin and excessive smoking.
Common symptoms of bed sores include discoloration of the skin, pain, itching, tearing or lesions on the skin. If not checked in time, it can lead to ulceration with a deep wound and develop signs of infection like pus.
The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel defines the symptoms of bed sores in 4 stages to better diagnose and treat this condition.
Bed sores often affect the buttocks, shoulder blades, skin along the spine, backs of arms and legs, back of the head, lower back, heels, ankles and skin behind the knees.
Strict hygiene measures should be practiced to promote healing of bed sores and reduce the risk of infection. You can also use some easy home remedies to minimize discomfort and promote healing. Plus, proper medical supervision is highly recommended.
Here are the top 10 home remedies for bed sores.
1. Change Positions
Changing the position of your body every now and then will reduce the stress and pressure on the skin that can irritate existing sores. It also reduces the risk of developing new sores.
- If you have enough upper body strength, you can reposition yourself every few hours using a device like a trapeze bar.
- If you are in a wheelchair, try to shift your weight every 30 minutes.
- Caretakers should use bed linens to help lift and reposition you to reduce the risk of friction and shearing. This should be done every 2 to 3 hours.
2. Saline Water
To help bed sores heal faster, clean the sores with saline water. Bed sores that are not cleaned properly are more prone to infection and inflammation. Saline water will reduce excess fluid and also get rid of loose dead skin.
- Mix 2 teaspoons of salt in a cup of water.
- Boil it, then allow it to cool.
- Use this solution to clean the affected body area.
- Allow the area to dry thoroughly, then cover it with a bandage.
- Repeat a couple of times a day.
3. Turmeric
Turmeric accelerates the healing process of bed sores. It also has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antioxidant properties that help your body deal with the symptoms and fight infection.
- Clean the affected area with sterile water or a saline solution. Sprinkle enough turmeric powder to cover the wound. Cover the area with a clean bandage. Repeat 3 times daily for quick healing.
- You can also drink warm turmeric milk 2 times daily.
4. Honey
Honey has natural antiseptic properties and can also soothe the skin where there are mild bed sores. It can provide relief from pain, reduce itching and promote healing. Honey can also reduce the risk of infection.
- Prepare a thick mixture with equal amounts of honey and sugar. Apply this mixture to the affected body area and cover it with a clean bandage. Follow this treatment once daily.
- You can also spread honey over a large banana leaf. Lie down on this banana leaf for a few hours. Repeat daily.
5. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera can be used to control infection in bed sores. Due to its healing and soothing properties, it can also promote healing. Plus, it keeps the affected skin moisturized, which ensures quick recovery.
- Cut open an aloe vera leaf and extract the gel.
- Apply this gel on the affected area and rub gently for a few minutes.
- Allow it to dry on its own, then wipe it off with a clean damp cloth.
- Repeat 3 times a day.
You can use aloe vera gel powder, cream or ointment to help promote healing.
6. Coconut Oil
Being rich in medium-chain fatty acids, coconut oil will keep your skin healthy and protect it from damage caused by constant pressure. Plus, massaging it onto your body will improve blood circulation.
- Smear some warm coconut oil all over your legs, limbs and back.
- Gently massage until the oil penetrates deep into the skin.
- Apply 3 or 4 times daily to heal the sores and prevent new sores from appearing.
Note: While massaging, do not apply pressure on the sores. If you do not have coconut oil then you can use olive, mustard oil, or any other massage oil.

Have You Been Arrested Or Charged In Oakland, Macomb, Or Wayne County For Home Invasion Or Retail Fraud?
The Consequences Can Be Severe. Here Are Some Things You Should Know
The State of Michigan, though it recognizes various offenses as being 'theft' related, sees most charges prosecuted under M.C.L.A §750.110a or M.C.L.A. §750.356c – 'Home Invasion' and 'Retail Fraud' respectively. These charges if pursued and convicted, can carry very serious consequences.
Let's start with Home Invasion – home invasion involves breaking into and entering, illegally a structure or the dwelling of another (home, apartment, business, car are some examples) with the intent to commit a felony or a misdemeanor. Beyond the actual breaking in of a structure (this may not mean a literal breaking in either – maybe you just pushed in the door and walked in uninvited) and what the accused meant to do, there are other factors involved, such as was a weapon of some sort used and whether or not a another person is lawfully there at the time of the breaking. Michigan recognizes three degrees of home invasion charges, first through third degree, with first degree being charged as a felony. Another consideration that the court will look to in these cases is whether or not you are a first-time offender or have a prior record of similar charges. For imprisonment and fine ranges on these charges, the accused can face anywhere between 5 and 20 years in jail or prison along with $2000 – $5000 in fines and costs depending upon the conviction.
Retail Fraud – commonly known as 'shoplifting' occurs when someone rips off a business or retailer of its merchandise, either outright by stealing it with no intention of paying for the goods at all. It is also charged by 'fixing' price tags so that the accused pays a lesser amount of money than what the item is actually being sold for. Retail fraud, similar to home invasion has three degrees of conviction with the first degree being the most severe, and is also charged as a felony. Again, consistent with home invasion charges, the court will want to know if this is a first-offense or if the accused has a prior record of similar charges. Given all of the shopping districts, major malls, and chain-retailers around Metro Detroit, retail fraud charges are not uncommon. One key note about retail fraud is that you can be charged with this crime if store security detains you before you have left an establishment. Also, it is worth mentioning that theft offenses including both of these crimes, if convicted, will likely create numerous problems concerning future employment or if trying to go to school or university. These charges go towards being dishonest, something that most people (including the courts) heavily frown upon.
Another possibility in these 'shoplifting' cases is that the vendor may decide to file civil charges to recoup its losses. If this happens, it may be that the merchant could reclaim up to the full sale price for the item(s) either no longer usable or not returned at all. Further, the seller can ask for compensation of ten times the sale price of what was taken up to a certain amount. Remember, this is a separate action from any criminal charges you may face.
Potential Defenses In Home Invasion And Retail Fraud Charges
If you have been accused of, are being investigated for, or have been charged with either home invasion or retail fraud charges beyond possible criminal sanctions you may face, please understand that the long-term consequences can also be dire as theft-based convictions will almost certainly lead to employment difficulties down the road. Be it losing a job or the inability to get another one, business owners would naturally be leery of hiring someone who has a theft charge on their record.
Possible defenses for these charges may include:
- You Were Mistaken Or That You Really Didn't Know – You Lacked Intent – Many times, theft cases come down to what someone actually knew or truly believed was within their right to do. It has happened more than once that people have walked out of stores with merchandise perhaps not realizing that it wasn't paid for or that they had it at all. To show a jury that something was taken by mistake, that you did not mean to leave the premises with an item would be one defense to consider.
- You Had An Alibi – While there is certainly more to this than professing one's innocence, if an alibi is at issue, then the prosecution has to show that you were there when the theft occurred. If you are charged with a theft crime, there must be some proof as to the accused actually being present. This often goes to store surveillance recordings during the time of the theft. Remember, we don't have to show that you weren't there – the prosecution has to show that you were. Another defense strategy that might work.
- The Items Were Actually Yours To Begin With – It is tough to present a theft case against someone where the items in question actually belonged to them. A person cannot mean to 'steal' something if they genuinely believe that the item was rightfully theirs to begin with. This defense goes back to what you 'meant' at the time.
What Can You Do About All Of This?
The Law Office of Barton W. Morris has defended several theft cases with great success including both home invasion and retail fraud. He is expertly versed with potential consequences and has years of experience in negotiating with prosecutors to assist you in giving you the best opportunity possible to either have the charges reduced or dismissed outright. His knowledge and expertise will prove most helpful dealing with the police, prosecutors and the courts. Theft cases are difficult to prove and defend. Don't let yourself be charged with home invasion or retail fraud because of either cost or the facts and circumstances.
Let the Law Office of Barton W. Morris assist in creating the best defense strategy possible. His team is available to you at any time to discuss the facts of your case and provide you with excellent representation from the beginning of your case to its conclusion.
Do not get yourself into a situation that is very difficult to rebound from. Theft offenses pose an incredibly serious problem and are prosecuted routinely in the State of Michigan. Let Mr. Morris begin working with you as soon as possible on your case to work toward the best solutions available to you. Contact his office today at (248) 541-2600 to begin working on your retail fraud or home invasion charges.

But what about this case also - Buy a tonne of .info domains and smash them with links from xBumer and SB. Once Google goes to town on them, just point them at your competitors domain. According to another thread the penalty passes on!?! It seems to be getting easier and easier to ruin someones website now, and although us black hatters were ranking in a "cheating" manner, at least our sites were quality. I see some real crap these days on #1. Any thoughts on the 301 method??

This blog post is a tribute to Debbie Reynolds. . .
Before she was famously known as the mother of Princess Leia, Debbie Reynolds was a colossal star in her own right. She carried on raising her two children when her husband left her to be with her friend Elizabeth Taylor. It is easy to think that this song accurately sums up the situation that Debbie would have found herself in but I would like to think that she carried on living just fine without going through such a public spectacle at the time. Her daughter Carrie Fisher made such a perfect joke about the consoling that her father did in her book. Rest in peace Ms. Reynolds - you are missed.
They say you've found somebody new
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I just can't let you walk away
Forget the love I had for you
When love ends because someone decides that it is over, it might take some time for you to be able to adjust to the change in the situation. What would you do? Try and make them see sense and realise that they can't just give up everything that you accomplished together and give up on your love for them? When does them walking away and you standing there taking them walking away start to be less painful? When you want to keep remembering the love that you had for them but they have no qualms about turning their back on you and walking away?
Guess I could find somebody too
But I don't want no one but you
How could you leave without regret?
Am I that easy to forget?
Then you start entertaining thoughts about finding somebody else in your life. It is easy enough to try and make sense of something that isn't meant to make sense. Love is a very messy and real thing that people forget involves real emotions (if you do it right, if you are honest and lay yourself vulnerable to truly experiencing love in all of its fullness). When someone is able to walk away from you without regret, it is because they are patiently waiting for something else to happen or they are going to leave well enough alone. If love is real and genuine, there will never really be anything that is forgotten.
Before you leave be sure you find
You want her love much more than mine
'Cause I'll just say we've never met
If I'm that easy to forget
Pride will soon start rearing its head when you can no longer take the fact that the other person is willing to forget you. Crazy thoughts fill your head and you start to question whether everything was real and if you had imagined all of what has passed, all of what has been conveniently stored away and never to be reopened. You almost start to think that you have opened a Pandora's box if you decide to take one long last peek. Nothing good can from it right now, so what do you do? As my American professor says all the time - what can you do? It always makes me question whether any course of action will be fruitful - but rather, it is easier to just sit on one's hands and not make a move at all.
Guess I could find somebody new
But I don't want no one but you
I couldn't leave without regret
You're not that easy to forget
What is the point in finding somebody new? As a widow, it almost becomes the furthest thing from one's mind. It isn't because you can't bear to live without your love anymore. It might have more to do with not being able to fathom that there is a possibility of having another love like the one you have lost. There is no way that you could experience unconditional love like that twice in your lifetime right? I don't know if I want to keep my heart open. I don't know if I want to let anybody in and why should I? It is perfectly natural to be wary and not have to decide in no uncertain terms whether you want to have love again in your life.
Before you leave be sure you find
You want her love much more than mine
'Cause I'll just say we've never met
If I'm that easy to forget
I hope that you will trust your heart to know what the right course of action will be.
We sometimes think that love is meant to be painful and make us do crazy things but no I disagree with that. I'm not saying that it should be straight forward either. but I think once we stop doing drastic things and hide behind facades and walls that block us from actually being able to see what it is we actually want from other people, and even listening to what our hearts want from ourselves, before we demand it from others; you might be able to ask yourself am I that easy to forget. . .

A return to normal times?
In the thinking of government, their task is to bring "normalisation" or a return to "normality". Their idea of "normal times" is that government "controls" this complex environment. That government has the monopoly of force. That government enforces law. There is peace and order. Basic services are delivered to the people. That government renders justice. That government is seen as "legitimate". Overall, that the government is seen as the neutral and impartial arbiter of competing interests. That is government's idea. Obviously, this is not the case in the conflict-affected areas of Mindanao. In the perception of the Moro, the Philippine Government is seen as a "foreign" government. It is not their government. The feeling of the Moro is that they are governed by people other than their own. And when one is government by people other than your own, resistance is a duty. Thus, government must see itself is a major part of the problem.
This however is not a cause for despair though because historically there never has been a "normal time". The Americans, and the Spaniards before the Filipino government, has tried and failed to "control" this contested political space. The Philippine Government never, at any time, fully "subjugated" these areas. There never has been a "normal" time.
Uncertainty, time lags and non-linearity.
Since Mindanao is a complex system, it important for everyone working in this theater of Mindanao to see the situation in a "complex system" way – that is – to see the whole and how it is emerging via the interactions and decisions of the multiple weak agents who have no monopoly over power but can influence the outcomes within the complex environment.
Three things important things to remember if one is operating in a complex situation. These are uncertainty, time lags and non-linearity. A word on each.
"Uncertainty". There is a measure of unpredictability in the context. An example would be the Maguindanao massacre. Nobody predicted such event to happen. By hindsight, of course, one can say that it was inevitable because of the interactions and decisions of different actors, both local and national, which lead the Ampatuans amassing more money, more guns and more political power than anyone else in Maguindanao. It is of course no a secret that the Ampatuans were used against the MILF. It was really unexpected.
"Time lags". There will always be a gap in time between input and the consequent result or output. For example, failure to deliver quality education today to young muslims, if such continues to be unchecked will most likely increase the cohort of possible insurgents in 10 years. But since it is too far in the future, education or national officials does not see the perils of the failure of education today. On the other hand, delivery of education services today may also lead to increased insurgency because of the frustration that comes at the end of education – knowing that there are no jobs or livelihood opportunities for them at all.
"Non-linearity". Input does not equal output. There will be unintended consequences of what could otherwise have been a straightforward solution to problems. For example, the pursuit of private armed groups after the Maguindanao massacre event would have logically brought down the level of violence. But it did not. Why? because the unintended consequence of "dismantling" the private armed groups converted such groups to leaderless, formless networks consisting of armed men who still needed to feed their families. Once we cut off the support given by their patrons, they had to find new sources of livelihood and since their skill sets were limited to the "war economy", they are now in the employ of traditional politicians, or even of insurgent groups, like the MILF. This is an example of an unintended consequence, of non-linearity. (To be continued)

During the creative process for Boom Productions Inc. the decision was made to go for a responsive, minimalistic and clean design.
Navigational elements that might detract are kept to a minimum, displaying only what is truly relevant.
To retain a consistent and minimal design, images are void of color until the user hovers over them, displaying a soft animation that gives life to the creative work.
The logo for Boom Productions Inc. is bold and loud, but still retains a hint of the serifs that are found in the typography.
A consistent style is kept by only adding color to the photo of interest once it is hovered over.
Designed responsively, the new website is ready for the web and devices of all sizes. The images are progressively loaded to lessen the initial loading time of pages and thus provide for a faster and smoother experience.

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-3900) SELECT ... FOR UPDATE cannot be used in many queries
|Tue, 25 Nov 2008 01:36:44 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3900?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12650437#action_12650437 ] Dag H. Wanvik commented on DERBY-3900: -------------------------------------- You are right of course, that only using WITH RS could cause more deadlocks (although it would solve the basic integrity issue of another transaction "manipulating the data while we are working with it"). So having non-sharabled locks a priori could be useful for some apps. A global switch would not add any non-standard syntax but isn't very flexible. SQL doesn't deal with locks, only isolation level of course.. How do you see the switch working? > SELECT ... FOR UPDATE cannot be used in many queries > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-3900 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3900 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SQL > Reporter: Marco > > The documentation in http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.4/ref/rrefsqlj41360.html#rrefsqlj41360__sqlj15384 says that SELECT ... FOR UPDATE cannot be used in many situations (e.g. when ORDER BY is present or when JOINs are used). I can very well understand that the current implementation using updatable cursors is very hard to implement when multiple tables are used and therefore these restrictions are probably necessary. > However, besides that functionality, "FOR UPDATE" is extremely useful for transactional integrity: For example, we - http://www.jfire.org - use transaction isolation level read committed, because it provides good transaction safety combined with good performance. When modifying records, we first select the appropriate table rows with a SELECT FOR UPDATE in order to guarantee that the data we just read cannot be manipulated by another transaction while we are working with it. > I do not see any reason why this locking behaviour should not be possible for certain queries. Therefore, I recommend to introduce a configuration setting (maybe a system property? or an option passed to the JDBC-URL?) that disables updatable queries completely (we don't need them anyway and probably it improves performance when not using them). With this option set, the SELECT ... FOR UPDATE should solely affect locks on rows - and work with all SELECT expressions - no matter whether they use JOIN, UNION, ORDER BY etc.. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Synopsis Film Captain Fantastic (2016) BluRay 720p MP4 + MKV:
Ben and Leslie Cash have long lived largely off the grid with their offspring – Bodevan, Kielyr, Vespyr, Rellian, Zaja and Nai – in a cabin in the mountains of Washington state. The parents have passed their ideals to their children, namely socialism (in its various forms) and survivalism. With the former, Ben considers most of western society as being fascist, especially corporate America. With the latter, he figures that no one will or should be there for you, so you better learn how to take care of yourself in all its aspects. As such, the children have been subject to vigorous physical training, know how to deal with minor bumps, bruises, cuts, sprains and even fractures, and know how to hunt, forage and grow their own food. The children are also non-registered home schooled, meaning that they have no official academic records. Ben and Leslie have tried to make the children critical thinkers, however within the context of their ideals. Beyond these issues, Ben and Leslie made the …

Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels aren't the only dumb ones.
Hollywood's infatuation with sequels isn't news. But the industry's recent desperation to sequelize projects long past their shelf date sure is. This week we learned that a sequel to the 1994 comedy "Dumb and Dumber" featuring Carrey and Daniels is in the works. Days earlier, news leaked that a "Twins" sequel to be called "Triplets" might pair Eddie Murphy alongside Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
And then there's the countless jabber surrounding a third "Ghostbusters" film, a proposal so egregious star Bill Murray refused to so much as crack the script before finally turning it down.
These projects make so little sense they read like bad parodies of the modern movie system. Today's film goers have little connections to any of the actors associated with these projects, although Murray's aura does seem eternal.
Murphy's most recent film, "A Thousand Words," couldn't crack the $20 million mark. DeVito hasn't been a draw since the 1980s, and Schwarzenegger's recent film work involves about two minutes of screen time in the 2010 film "The Expendables."
And young movie goers, the most sought after demographic for film marketers, have little connection to these projects. Their older brothers and sisters might, or perhaps their parents, but would a 50-year-old wait in line to see "Triplets?"
It actually makes far more sense to remake these films rather than trash our memories of the originals with sad sequels.
But the saddest sequel pitch has to be "Midnight Run 2." The original film, which paired Robert De Niro with Charles Grodin, generated heat with both its action sequences and the beautiful tension between the leads. But De Niro is in his late 60s and Grodin will be 77 later this month, and the film industry has little appreciation for older actors not named Clint Eastwood or Jack Nicholson.
Once upon a time, these sequels made sense. Today, they sound like desperation moves made by an industry unable to throw its collective weight behind original stories. That's just plain dumb.

which is posted here, represents a pure case of liberal projection. Marshall deems Governor Tim Pawlenty's decision not to seek a third term (announced yesterday) bad news for Franken. Why?
As long as he was going to run for governor and had to face Minnesota voters again, there was good reason for him not to completely stick his finger in the eye of the election process. But now that's not holding him back. And since he's probably running for president, he'll have tons of incentive to pander to the hardcore tea-bagging wing of the GOP and keep Franken out of the senate as long as he can.
This is simply stupid. Governor Pawlenty has declined to issue a certificate of election to date because it was premature to do so under the applicable statute. The statute provides that In case of a contest, an election certificate shall not be issued until a court of proper jurisdiction has finally determined the contest.
Marshall's comments are consistent with a silly Franken ploy. In January Franken's attorneys had sent a letter to Governor Pawlenty and Secretary Ritchie asking them to sign off on an election certificate that names Franken the winner of the election. Franken's attorneys told reporters on a conference call that Pawlenty and Ritchie had a legal obligation to sign. "We believe the law is clear," said lead Franken attorney Marc Elias.
In February Franken filed a petition in the Minnesota Supreme Court seeking an order for the issuance of a certificate of election. Franken argued that Minnesota law requires, and that federal law also preempts state law and requires, issuance of the certificate to him. With the election certificate, Franken sought to be "provisisonally seated" in the Senate
Franken accordingly asked the Court to order Governor Pawlenty and Secretary of State Ritchie to issue the certificate that state law otherwise precludes them from issuing until the conclusion of the election contest that is proceeding in the Minnesota courts. Governor Pawlenty and Secretary of State Ritchie elected to abide by state law and declined to issue Franken the election certificate.
At oral argument on Franken's petition before the Minnesota Supreme Court the justices pressed Elias on the difficulties with his argument. If Elias didn't visibly squirm, he at least sounded extremely uncomfortable. For want of Franken's vote in the Senate, Elias pleaded with the Court at the end of his argument, the Democrats' sacred porkapoolaza package might be lost! Here again, Elias proved an unreliable guide. The Dems managed to serve up the porkapalooza just fine without Franken's assistance.
Coleman was joined by the Office of the Minnesota Attorney General in opposition to Franken's petition. Minnesota Solicitor General Alan Gilbert conceded that the Franken/Elias arguments were "creative," but otherwise found no merit in them. Indeed, Gilbert stated that the State took the view that the certificate of election was not to issue until the conclusion of any appeals that might follow the election contest.
I found no legal merit in Franken's arguments. None. Zilch. Nada. I estimated the probability of their success, on a scale of 0 to 100, somewhere between 0 and 1. In the event, the Minnesota Supreme Court rejected Franken's argument in a 24-page per curiam opinion.
The Minnesota Supreme Court has not yet ruled on Coleman's appeal of the election contest decision. It will do so shortly. When the Supreme Court's decision becomes final, Pawlenty will issue the certificate. Why? Because he has been following the law, not a partisan script. For Marshall and his fellow liberals, politics is all.
Franken's demand for a certificate of election before the completion of the legal proceedings represents, as I have noted previously, a variation on a common male malady. Franken has a severe case of premature electionation. Marshall has been affected by it. I predict that Governor Pawlenty will follow the law and will issue the election certificate precisely when the time comes.

The Industry Comes of Age
With an increasingly affluent middle class emerging in the post-World War II years, the industry witnessed an unprecedented period of growth. Industry sales hit the $1 billion mark in 1952 and continued to rise. For the Toilet Goods Association (TGA), this "baby boom" era was marked by challenges on a number of different fronts.
Despite the growth in sales, the industry experienced a wave of consolidations that resulted in a decrease in Association membership.
At this time, the industry and the Association focused its energies on educating a broad spectrum of outsiders — ranging from advertising agencies to retail sales clerks to the public — about cosmetics.
Educational initiatives also targeted younger audiences. The Association produced educational booklets for school groups and attempted to convince the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts to establish a merit badge for good grooming.
On the legislative front, this era was marked by a new series of regulatory issues brought to the forefront by a wave of concern over safety. A controversy developed over the alleged link between cancer and the use of cosmetics. A House Select Committee was formed in the early 1950s to investigate the use of chemicals in food and cosmetics and to examine the possibility of such a link.
The Committee, chaired by New York Representative James Delaney, held extensive hearings before issuing a report in 1952 that recommended legislation to protect consumers from harmful chemicals in both food and cosmetics.
The Delaney anti-cancer clause was ultimately included in the Food Additive Amendments of 1958.

Earlier today, we received an email asking us to check out a new single titled "Holiday Love" by James Chatburn x Jordan Rakei. Eagerly, we hurried over to soundcloud to play "Holiday Love" and 15 seconds into the R&B-infused track, we were highly highly impressed. When we are scouting artists to feature on Trendio as "Artists Of The Week," we look for artists exactly like James Chatburn and Jordan Rakei. A little information on of these incredibly talented artists: James Chatburn is a Sydney based soul singer,...more

This week, we learned 35-year-old tennis champion Serena Williams is most probably pregnant.
With this revelation – that arrived with a SnapChat of the tennis star in a yellow leotard and the caption "20 weeks" – we all had a moment of being happy for her; thinking all the baby thoughts; wondering if it's a boy or a girl…
And then there was this:
If Williams is currently 20 weeks pregnant…. that means she was ALSO pregnant when she beat her sister Venus Williams to win The Australian Open in January.
Twitter had a meltdown.
Serena Williams won the Grand slam while pregnant so tell me more about women being the weaker vessel. pic.twitter.com/WLJOHbuq5LAdvertisement

Serena Williams was pregnant when she won the Australian Open. Yet I can't even stand to wash the dishes immediately after a heavy meal ????
— Hannah Cariño (@hannahkatrina) April 21, 2017
Serena Williams won the #AusOpen without dropping a single set, literally carrying an extra body inside her. The undisputed GOAT. #tennis
— Edwin Smith (@edwin_smith1) April 20, 2017
But… WAIT.
Quietly, from the shadows, we began to hear whispers…
Williams' pregnancy might have helped her performance rather than hindered it.
News sites started referencing a 2003 study published in the Seton Hall Journal of Sports Law that found pregnancy increases the number of red blood cells in the body, which boosts oxygen delivery to muscles and enhances athletic performance.
"The effects of pregnancy parallel the effects of blood doping," the report reads. "The benefits of pregnancy include an increase in oxygen-rich blood, which in turn helps boost muscle capacity by 30 per cent."
We decided to speak to our own expert to find out… Just what affect did Williams' pregnancy have on her athletic performance?
(Real talk: the fact Williams was performing athletically at all is remarkable. If I were pregnant, all I'd do is use it as an excuse for eating two dinners every night and brownies for breakfast.)
Melbourne obstetrician, gynaecologist and IVF specialist, Dr Joseph Sgroi, told Mamamia it is likely Williams' pregnancy had a positive impact on her performance. And it's not only because of red blood cells.
"A woman's aerobic fitness stays the same or improves slightly during pregnancy if she continues to exercise as her maternal symptoms permit," Dr Sgroi said.
"This may be in part due to the fact that heart (cardiac) output increases by around 50 per cent."
Serena Williams schools us in how not to apologise for your work. Post continues below.
Dr Sgroi also said the production of glucose - the body's principle energy source - increases during pregnancy.
"The two combined might make it that much easier to chase the ball down and endure a long game," he said.
How incredible. She and her baby-to-be won an international tennis tournament together.
They're already kicking ass, and she or he isn't even born yet.

Week 48: Slow Stitching and Stash Busting
You can't tell from this picture, but the last corner is only 5 inches away, then there is just one long side left to stitch. That should be doable this afternoon. Even with the holiday prep, I was able to sneak in 15 minutes of hand stitching time every day last week. That brings the total sewing days for 2016 to 263.
Since most of the week was hand work, there's not much going on with the stash report.
Used last week: 0.23 yards
Used year to date: 57.98 yards
Added year to date: 69.02 yards
Net added year to date: 11.04 yards
I'm slowly gaining ground on being back in the black. Hopefully between the Bonnie Hunter Mystery and Bejeweled, I'll move a little closer to break even for the year.
Hope you have time for some slow stitching today. Linking up with Kathy's Quilts.

M. Arch, Louisiana Tech University
Minors in Interior Design + Communication Graphics and History
Joined studioWTA in 2013
Amy's passion for architecture lies in the possibilities reached through conceptual design down to the technical details that make the creative vision a reality. She has long been drawn to the palimpsest found in the built environment and believes attentive architectural integration within existing structures can create a sustainable, unique sense of place.
At studioWTA, Amy is energized by the exploratory creative process, custom detailing, and strong regard for experiential qualities thru architecture embodied in the firm's work. She enjoys working in a synergetic environment "buzzing" with clients, artists, contractors, historians, engineers, and fabricators collaborating to realize project goals. Amy is a key player in the firm's integrating of building information modeling technology (BIM) into the studio's progressive approach to building design for several historic, adaptive reuse projects and a new commercial space build-out.
After three years as an art major, Amy 'journeyed' to the piney hills of North Louisiana to receive her Masters degree in Architecture from Louisiana Tech University in 2008. Her thesis focused on the redevelopment of the Texas Avenue Corridor in downtown Shreveport, a historic yet blighted part of town which served as a crossroads for Delta Blues & Texas Country in the early 20th century. Amy was awarded the Alpha Rho Chi for leadership and service at Louisiana Tech. She served as the Associate Director of AIA New Orleans in 2013 and remains highly involved with a number of community and professional organizations.
A New Orleans native and current resident of the Lower Garden District, Amy continues to be inspired by the rich vernacular culture, historical character, and revitalization of the city's architectural gems. In her downtime, Amy can often be spotted at Coliseum Square with her dog, trying out a new local eatery, or experimenting with different cuisines in her humble kitchen. (She also makes a scrumptious doberge cake.)
