Institute For Historical Review Conference
Dear Fellow Patriot!
We came back this morning and the general word would
be awesome! But let me give you a few details:
We were driving from Sacramento to Los Angeles/Orange
County to the IHR conference at the Marriott Hotel.
It's a seven hour ride , quite boring, but gets a lot
worse once you enter L.A. For me it was quite an
experience, since L.A. is world famous and one would
assume quite exciting. However, it was just the
opposite. Immigration and illegal immigration from the
third world have taken a terrible toll on this city.
The filth is undescribable. Surrounded by every
nationality from Latin America and Africa, we finally
arrived at the Marriott Hotel at 8 am on Saturday
morning. The conference started at 9:00am. We had
enough time to freshen up and mingle with the
world-wide audience.
The terrible impression, coming into L.A., was
completely taken away by the articulate and
sophisticated crowd attending the conference. There
were a bunch of Germans, which we immediately cosied
up with and spent the conference with together.
We listened to Bradley Smith from Codoh, a life-long
holocaust revisionist; Tony Martin, a black who is a
Professor of African Studies, explaining the Jewish
role in the slave trade; Said Arikat, a Palestnian
lobbyist in Washington; Tom Sunic, former Professor of
Political Science in the USA and a Croatian Diplomat
in Europe; Mark Weber, Director of the IHR; Frederick
Toeben, the revisionist from Australia.
For me, I am divided between Mark Wever and Tom Sunic
on who gave the best speech. As a German, Tom Sunic is
the more classier, soft-voiced diplomat
par-excellence, talking about a subject dear to my
heart, killing of Germans from 1935 to 1953 at the
hands of Tito's communists in the former Yugoslavia.
Sunic literally moved most of the Germans in the
audience and was asked the most questions. His
research and documents will be published in the next
publication of the Institute. Please check at
Then there is Mark Weber whose speech was fiery, full
with passion and blatantly honest about the role of
the Jews in history. Mark Weber really knows his stuff
and he was the only speaker who got cheers. I can see
why some of his enemies are critizising him - out of
pure jealousy. Mark Weber doesn't look like his
speeches. He is your average looking bureaucrat
(that's strictly my opinion), but please do not get
fooled by his calm and soft appearance. He can rile up
a crowd of 200 people as I have only seen by a few
speakers. I guess, for me the most impressive thing
about Mark Weber is that he doesn't get distracted by
controversial questions or hecklers. He is a cool as a
The highlights for me were several moments. One was
meeting Dr. Robert Faurisson from France and having my
picture taken with him. Just like Ernst Zuendel, Dr.
Faurisson is one of my personal heroes. You know,
those are the people that just don't "talk the talk",
but they "walk the walk". Dr. Faurisson has gone
through hell and back and still is as determined as
The second moment was when I met Joseph Sobran.
Community News has printed his witty and articulate
columns many times. I was absolutely thrilled to
finally meet a great columnist who doesn't way 400
pounds. In the company of a georgious blond-haired
lady, I was allowed to have my pictures taken with
both of them.
The third moment was the banquet dinner, when a crowd
of a hundred people came together for the banquet
dinner. I was seated with the nicest people we've met
at the beginning and we had a wonderful time with a
delicious dinner. Since I am not allowed to tell you
about them by name ( I haven't asked for permission) I
can only tell you that we were singing German songs
and telling German jokes. I wished the evening would
have gone on and that I didn't have to leave.
Now to the moments that moved me. One was the
impressive appearance of the MC, Greg Raven. Mr. Raven
is one of the editors of the IHR's publication. There
was only one other moment in my life where I was that
impressed with an appearance. It was many years ago in
Germany when I met Austrian Crown Prince Otto von
Habsburg. Mr. Raven is tall, his hair and beard are
white as snow, and his demeanor of elegance give him
the silent power one only finds on highly educated
Now the moments for the heart. It would be not right
to talk about the person who made this all possible
for us. IHR Boad Director Harvey Taylor. Harvey Taylor
is m kind of guy. He is out there in the trenches, and
not afraid of anything. His generousity in supporting
our causes is incredible. We are indebted to him.
The other person is Stan Hess, who treated us for
lunch. Stan Hess is a board director of the European
American Culture Council, and a one-man army. I
haven't had so many laughs in a long time, sitting
next to him, attending the conference. Stan Hess is
also the regional director of Northern California for
EURO, another organization advocating for the civil
rights of European Americans.
In closing, if you have never attended the IHR
conference, or have had ever any doubt about the
Institut, go. Listen to the Director Mark Weber, and
learn why it is so important the we support the IHR.
Not only do you meet great scholars and great people,
you also go home with the feeling that you're not
alone in your struggle against the Jews.

Open Thread: Friends and Family and Everyone Else
Here's a place to talk about the relationships in your life whenever you want.
Last May I was newly 23, debating whether or not to apply to graduate school, and desperate to get out of my parents' house. I had a job at an independent bookstore, where I met my coworker Jacob*, who lived with his girlfriend of six years, Melissa*.
They were a relatively introverted couple; they were into fantasy and sci-fi, and regularly attended comic-cons and other genre-related events in the area. They had a bunny and seemed pretty normal, for what it was worth.
At the back of my mind I thought they were an odd pair. He was grounded, exercised and meditated every day. She was different, an over-sharer, the cliché type of person you wish you hadn't started talking to at a party. They were both into theater; he did the writing and directing, while she planned to move them to L.A. to pursue acting.
I knew we wouldn't be best friends, but they had an extra room in their apartment, and I could mostly afford the $700 rent on my paltry part-time pay.
I didn't know they had cleaned extensively before my arrival, and I thought it looked like a pretty regular apartment inhabited by a couple of late twentysomethings. Their living style, as I quickly learned, was one that might be charitably described as "proto-hoarder."
Nearly everything that entered the apartment never left: shopping bags, mail, beer bottles, and the like. Laundry was hung to dry on any available surface. The trash collected in increasingly larger dumping grounds in the communal areas of the apartment.
Within a month, the dining room table could not be located. I left for a week in June, and returned to find every single dish crusted with food and littering the house. Trash and compost sat long forgotten and had begun cultivating a substantial fruit fly infestation. I looked into the trash can after removing the liner and discovered a thick layer of putrid brown muck that had surely been decomposing there since before I'd moved in.
Frustrated and refusing to live in this environment, I spent days cleaning. I cleaned it all. And I cleaned it all for the entire time I was there, because I was grateful to have "my own" place.
Five months later, the apartment was worse, but I could finally afford new digs. I broached the subject with Jacob to let him know I was thinking of moving. He simply looked at me with big eyes, and it was only then I noticed he was folding clothes into a backpack.
"I'm breaking up with Melissa," he said.
"Ohhhhhh nooo," I replied, simultaneously shocked and relieved.
But I wasn't really surprised he wanted to, only that he was going through with it. I'd become aware from living in close quarters that she was no longer laughably oblivious or socially awkward. She lacked personal boundaries, emotional stability, and some necessary medication. She loved playing the victim and failed to recognize the negative consequences of her poor decisions. She told me her therapist had described her emotional manipulation of others as "mind rape," and I secretly agreed.
The place was so cluttered that Jacob's packed suitcase went unnoticed by her until he finally ended it and moved out a day later.
The breakup affected her as one might imagine — crying fits, sleepless nights, and calling in sick to work. Her difficult personality meant she didn't have any friends or support system to help her through the breakup. She stopped eating regularly and started drinking more, always alone. I was sympathetic at first; how could I not have been? But months passed and nothing changed.
I found myself mediating the couple's interactions because they refused to speak to one another. Melissa was always up through the night in a manic fervor, moving (no, throwing) things around under the guise of "packing" up her ex-boyfriend's things.
When I told her I was moving out on November 1, she began starting fights over trivial things, like leaving the screened window open when no one was home, and accusing me of stealing her belongings. I could feel my resolve slipping after I came home one day to her packing up her dishes and pans, because "she didn't use them" (I did).
She moved her rabbit, the unused vacuum, and other prized possessions into her room without a word, as if to say she didn't trust me to be around them anymore. The night before I moved out, she finally snapped.
I'd gone out to a Halloween party in an attempt to trade my all-too-real hellish surroundings for a fantastical one, if just for one night. I arrived home around 2 a.m. accompanied by my boyfriend, who, unlike me, had partaken in the Halloween festivities with exuberance. I deemed him a bit too tipsy to wash off his full skeleton face paint, so I grabbed the trash can out of the bathroom (mine was boxed away) and a pack of makeup wipes and let him at it. After cleaning up, we passed out, knowing I had to be up early to move out in the morning.
At 5 a.m. I heard a screech: "You've got to be fucking kidding me!" followed by crashes and thumps against my bedroom door. It was easy enough to guess her strategy here — throwing my toiletries from the bathroom, the only things I had left to pack, in my general direction.
Face down in the pillow, I tried to ignore her, but my heart was pounding so fast I had to do something. I knew it was the trash can; I'd never moved it back to the bathroom. Throwing open the door, I asked her what exactly she thought she was doing.
"Stop stealing my stuff!" she shrieked, confirming that she was indeed referencing the communal bathroom trash can. It was not the first unfounded accusation she'd brought against me in the past few days.
"The trash can? I borrowed it because mine is packed. I'm not trying to steal anything!"
"You keep doing this! It's November 1st, you're supposed to be gone!" She launched into a maniacal tirade about what a terrible thief I was.
She was furious and terrifying, a Halloween ghoul in her own special way, and in my own fear I lost the calm I'd tried to maintain for so many months. I yelled back and showed my anger, but all along remained in the doorway of my room while she was in the hallway.
"I'm ending this," she announced, "I'm calling 911."
Fifteen minutes later, there was a knock at the door, and her demeanor changed. She was suddenly theatrical in the extreme, opening the door wearing only a flimsy, see-through nightgown, and making a visible effort to appear victimized and helpless.
I, on the other hand, while still genuinely terrified, managed to tell the cops what happened: the false accusations and deterioration of her mental state. As I stood in the hallway, staring at the wall and giving information to the cops, my still half-drunk boyfriend came to confirm my story. He'd stumbled out of bed and back into his costume, remnants of pain smeared across his face still.
"I'll be honest with you officer, I've been drinking," he slurred. Shut up! Shut up! Not helping!
The cop nodded sternly, "Yeah . . . I can smell that."
The boyfriend went thankfully unnoticed as the cops wrapped things up quickly, and advised that I collect my valuables and spend the rest of the night (it was now past six) somewhere else. And though they neither admitted nor denied who they really thought was at fault that night, their pissed off expressions and offer of a ride hinted that they didn't blame me.
If I learned anything from the events of the night, it's to always trust my instincts. Somehow, I felt like I was at fault for mishandling the situation — and by that I mean not moving out immediately after she dove into a pool of insanity and by showing my anger instead of keeping it at bay.
The next morning I dragged myself out of bed and prepared for the worst. But back at the apartment, Melissa didn't dare show her face. She stayed in her room the whole day while I moved out and into my new place. Which, in case you were wondering, is clean, beautifully decorated, and delightfully drama-free.

Miami Commissioner Marc Sarnoff isn't running for re-election in November. But you wouldn't know it from political attacks launched over the past several days.
On Monday, Comcast began running a commercial by District 2 candidate Ken Russell, in which the sports gear wholesaler goes after Sarnoff's municipal pension and track record. The sleek 30-second advertisement — which Russell says is airing for two weeks on CNN, Comedy Central, and several other channels — comes on the heels of a union mailer linked to another District 2 candidate, Grace Solares, criticizing the commissioner's relationship with developers.
Neither Russell nor Solares are running against the term-limited commissioner. They're running against Teresa Sarnoff, his wife.
"We really decided we need people to understand that Marc is the issue, and really, Marc is the candidate," said Russell.
Because Teresa Sarnoff has little in the way of a visible civic track record, critics mock her as a proxy for her husband and question her credentials and motivation. But in a city where names are like political brands — think Carollo, Regalado and Suarez — she has the advantage of the Sarnoff name and campaign machine.
She also has a significant fundraising advantage over the field, and says she has been walking door to door for weeks getting face-time with thousands of voters. She said Monday that it's "kind of sexist to say that a wife can't run," and ripped her opponents for going after her husband.
"You don't build your reputation by tearing somebody else down. Show us what you're going to do. Do something positive," she said. "I'm sick of these negative ads and for them to come out so early in the campaign, I'm surprised at it. I don't think that bodes well for the coming election."
Russell said his campaign produced and released the commercial after polling 300 voters and finding that while the poll showed Teresa Sarnoff in the lead, it showed Russell and several others in a jumble of close seconds. His campaign chose to pounce after viewing the results.
He had loaned his campaign $35,000 as of June 1, and said he spent $10,200 on the commercial. The ad doesn't mention Teresa Sarnoff by name, and says only that Commissioner Sarnoff wants voters to elect his wife.
The Herald spoke to two local political consultants not involved in the District 2 campaign. One said attacking Commissioner Sarnoff is essentially attacking the Sarnoff brand. Another said going on the offensive early can pay dividends.
"Early attacks are extremely effective — if you can afford them. They define your opponent before they can define themselves," said consultant Keith Donner.
Russell's commercial began airing just days after some Miami voters received a glossy mailer by the Southeast Laborers' District Council attacking the commissioner for siding with "big developers and contractors." The ad notes that Sarnoff voted to support tax rebates for the Miami Worldcenter — as did the rest of the Miami Commission — and in one hearing voted against a responsible wage for workers on public contracts. The commissioner said at the time of the vote that there was no estimate for how much the change would cost the city.
Matthew Land, the union's political director, said in a statement that the mailer "is part of the outreach effort to share with Miami residents the record of elected officials who stand against community standards like responsible wages and the hiring of a local workforce."
The union behind the mailer, however, is a client of political consultant Christian Ulvert, who represents District 2 candidate Grace Solares, a candidate who hasn't been shy about going after the Sarnoffs. Ulvert said Monday that the mailer — which says nothing about an election — was about the Miami Worldcenter, not the campaign.
"If it had anything to do with a campaign it would be more campaign-focused," he said.
Commissioner Sarnoff scoffed at that assertion.
"Don't tear me down," he said. "Don't go through me to get to her."

Male Strip Clubs...
I was planning a bachlorette party and I cannot find anywhere that I can bring a stripper to...so I was wondering if anyone knows of any male strip clubs in the area or even any night clubs that have a "ladies night" type thing with male dancers.
Please let me know if you happen to know of anything or anywhere that is something like that ... that would be a good idea for a bachlorette party. Thank you!

Transgender actress Laverne Cox is adamant she will never undergo facial feminisation surgery because she is happy with the way she looks.
The Orange is the New Black star, who transitioned from male to female, has revealed she spent years longing for an operation to change her face, but she has now given up on the idea even though she now has the money to spend on the procedure.
She tells Britain's Guardian newspaper, "I have been picking myself apart my whole life. I have never talked about the medical details of my transition, and a lot of people assume I've had all this surgery. Years ago, I wanted really highly invasive surgical procedures to feminise my face. All these years later, I have the money to do it, but I don't want it. I don't want it! I'm happy that this is the face that God gave me, and it's imperfect."
Cox goes on to reveal she was horrified when a follower on Instagram.com suggested she should undergo surgery on her nose, adding, "My fans were like, that's the nose African Americans have, and what's wrong with that? My fans had my back. In those moments I have to look in the mirror and say, this is my black nose, and it's gorgeous."

If you are interested in getting what you want but are unsure as to where to start and how to go about this big area of your life please read on.
Before we start it's interesting to know that research strongly indicates that when we help others and connect with those others this helps us to achieve what we want in terms of how we feel, pretty good.
So when you are using your creative mind to explore what you want it might help to bear this in mind.
Right, if you were to wave a realistic magic wand what would you have, be and do in the following areas of your life
1. In your work
2. You personally
3. With others
Research suggests that these are the 3 core areas of our life and if we achieve what we want in these areas we will be pretty happy. All good so far.
The next area to explore is how we go about achieving what we want. The main issue here is overcoming our internal critic, the area that stems from the unconscious mind which houses limiting belief and decisions. For example, you may want to get really healthy but your belief is that every time you try you last a few days at most then go back to old habits.
What can you do about this? One tip is to work at the level of your identity and start to see yourself in your mind's eye as a healthy person doing healthy things like eating whole foods primarily. Rehearsing this image of yourself every day works to 'rewire' old patterns of thing and create new neural pathways. If you repeat this action for a month you will likely experience habit change, if you are committed and the old pain of being unhealthy is sufficiently limiting that you want a new way of being and doing.
It is sometimes hard to articulate what you specifically want. Even harder to make the change and maintain it.
If you would like support in making changes to achieve what you want we are here to help you.

What Will My Baby Look Like as a Teenager
Babies are a gift of God to the parents. Most of the parents keep on waiting eagerly for their offsprings to arrive and when they are just about to come, the parents start making guesses about how their baby is going to look like. Talking about the scientific facts, there are procedures to know if the delivery will be healthy one or not and if the baby will be a boy or girl, but there is no procedure for knowing how the baby will look like and thus we have to totally depend on the facts and figures to recall it. In case you are also cared about how will your baby look like, you may choose to consider these points that we are mentioning.
1. Obviously He or She Will Look like an Angel:-
All the newborn babies are like angels of god with cute eyes, soft hands and a smile that can really win hearts. If you are going to have a baby, obviously these looks are sure to be with him as the same is the case with every baby as all the infants are equally delicate and just as cute as the others are.
2. The Characteristics in Most of Cases Are Hereditary:-
The characteristics that a baby gets is inherited from the parents, which means if the father is tall, the baby will also get tall when it gets young. There may be a mixture of signs with some of them matching with the mother and some of them matching with the father.
3. Another Name of Happiness:-
If you are going to have a baby, that will be the other name of happiness for all the people around in a way that these cute little angels can bring about a smile on everyone's face. The cute and naughty deeds that these little toddlers are indulged in always mesmerize the viewers.
4. May Have The Tone Matching Either The Mother Or Father:-
The tone that the baby will have will be matching with either the father or the mother, though it is not necessarily possible, but the fact is that the baby gets the most of characteristics from its parents and regarding the way it will become when it grows young, that totally depends on how you nurture it.
5. Partially It Depends On the "X" And "Y" Scientific Factor:-
Regarding the sex that the baby will be having, the baby may either be a male or a female depending on the "X' and "Y' factor that can be explained scientifically. For more details about this X and Y factor, you may choose to go for the Google search.
6. He or She Will Look Like the Sign of Your Love:-
If the baby that you are going to have is a result of utmost love that you have got with your partner, the baby is going to look the most like the sign of love that you have got for your partner and talking about the rest, it will become the way you make it.

Aaaand, that's the most detailed description I've ever typed. Huh. Feels weird.

Dental x-rays are an excellent diagnostic tool that help your dentist observe areas of your teeth and jaw that would otherwise be impossible to see with a visual exam. Besides helping detect cavities, dental x-rays can also help detect and diagnose gum disease, a tumor, bone loss, and more. X-rays are important for many reasons.
Many patients worry about the safety of dental x-rays. In reality, however, modern dental x-rays are safe and emit a very low radiation level. Many dental offices use advanced digital radiography, which is an x-ray technology that is much safer than the old-fashioned machines used in dental offices many years ago. Even though today's x-rays are very safe, dental offices take many precautions to protect you from the smallest amounts of radiation. [Read more…]

We Were Concerned About Radon
We employed the services of a hvac company in NYC after reading about the latest radon scare. Remember radon? It's a substance that can build up in basements of homes and it's a killer. If it gets bad enough you can die outright I believe, but what usually happens is that you are exposed to the substance over a period of time and it causes lung cancer. We saw some stories in the paper about some very unfortunate people who were exposed to this gas and at least two of them died from Stage four lung cancer. They didn't catch it fast enough.
Seeing as how we live in a much older home than normal, my wife and I were both very concerned that we could have this problem. I have my office in the basement and spend a lot of time down there, and our kids also have a play area in the basement where they spend a lot of time messing around.
I Wanted Great Entertainment at My Wedding
One of my favorite shows to watch is Britain's Got Talent. I just love watching all of the different acts perform as they try to make each cut. It doesn't matter what the act is either, because I enjoy nearly all of them, whether it is someone singing, dancing, performing magic, handling puppets, telling jokes, or one of the many other things that the Britain's Got Talent performers showcase. When I found out that people can actually get britains got talent acts for hire, I was so excited because I was trying to think of something to do for my wedding reception.
Advertising Your New Plumbing Business
When starting a new plumbing business it can be difficult to succeed. The costs of equipment often use up all of your starting capital and you're left with very little in the way of marketing dollars. If you've decided to strike out on your own and begin your own plumbing company you may have found that it can be extremely difficult to get it off the ground without a large budget. You're competing with possibly dozens of other plumbers and large plumbing companies which can make it very difficult to get your name out there.
If you want to attract new customers and grow your business, you will need to advertise and build brand awareness. That's not easy to do if you don't have a large marketing budget. So, here are a few ways that you can market your new business without spending a fortune.
Proper Labeling of Your Vehicle
Most local businesses will tell you that their most reliable source of business comes from word of mouth. That is very true but it's not always the most effective way. You first need to get new customers and create brand recognition before you will have any advocates to spread the word.
Service industry businesses typically don't work out of a brick and mortar storefront and therefore can't rely on foot traffic, easy-to-see displays or signs to attract business. They rely on being found in other manners. The main way most local plumbers are recognized is by their vehicles which can be seen driving around in the local area.
To help increase brand awareness and recognition, you'll want to make sure that your work vehicle is properly labeled. You don't necessarily have to have a work truck you could be working out of your personal vehicle, just make sure that it's properly labeled.
You'll want to make sure that your business name is shown and displayed with easy-to-read lettering. You will also want to include business information including a phone number, services you provide, and a slogan and website address if you have them.
Taking Advantage of Online Exposure
With any local business it is imperative that you take advantage of the internet to help promote your company and gain local exposure. It is also a great place to drive traffic and bring in business without having to spend a fortune in advertising.
You will first need to make sure that you setup a simple website and sign up for every major business listing site that you can – many of them offer a free service, such as Yelp, Google, Merchant Circle, Local.com, etc…
Any customers that you service ask them to review your business online. This will help build trust with search engines and potential customers. The more reviews that your business has the more exposure you'll get and the more likely you will attract more customers.
Finally, take advantage of social media. You can set up a business page on all of the major social media platforms for free and use them to reach your potential customers and drive more business without having to spend money on advertising.
Bonus: Many advertising platforms will offer a one-time credit for advertising – such as Facebook, Google, Bing, Twitter, etc… You can use these free advertising credits to help get your first customers and build off of that. You don't have to keep advertising after the free credits are used up so you can at least take advantage of the free credits.
Recent Events That Benefited From Trade Show Internet Service
Trade Show Internet has been in the events internet service for since 2008. We have served many companies to their satisfaction. Recently, we have offered events internet to a number of events hosted by some of the biggest companies in the United States. These companies benefited from our temporary 4g wifi internet hotspot rental service such that their attendees were a happy lot!
One such event was the Elevate Summit that was hosted by UBER. This is an event that was attended by leading experts in the transportation industry, manufacturers, politicians, and aviation enthusiasts among others. Trade Show Internet provided the internet connectivity required for the more than 500 guests that were invited. We provided 100 Mbps bandwidth circuit through which high-density WiFi service facilitated the internet needs for the guests. We provided multiple, VLANs and Ethernet drops for the video broadcast team that was on board. The best thing about our service is that we were available for all the network installation and the IT support that UBER required.
We also provided the events internet needs for the Fashion Show held by Tommy Hilfiger recently. The company had displayed their fashion collections and in this event, there were many activities such as live concerts, food vending, rides in amusement parks and such. We provided 300 Mbps internet to the event attendees. The festival wifi internet was well received by the attendees who loved the whole experience!
The Tenets of Physical Ergonomics
The study of ergonomics focuses on the manner in which people interact with the various furniture and tools they use in their respective work environments. Since the purpose of these studies is to find ways to promote sustained worker satisfaction, a great deal of emphasis is placed on physical comfort. Fortunately, you don't have to be a seasoned biomedical engineer to improve the ergonomics of your work environment. If you're experiencing comfort issues at your place of business, there are a number of steps you can take to remedy the situation on your own.
Neutral Posture
Neutral posture is achieved when a body is balanced and aligned while sitting or standing. This ensures that minimal stress is applied to assorted muscles, tendons and bones and that one's joints are able to remain aligned. In the interest of workplace comfort, it's strongly recommended that you maintain neutral posture throughout the workday. Neutral posture's polar opposite is awkward posture. As the name suggests, awkward posture is associated with putting heavy stress on one's joints and bones. Additionally, awkward posture often entails an extreme range of motion. Since consistently adopting an awkward posture can have negative long-term effects on the musculoskeletal system, workers should make a conscious effort to avoid it. For more information on neutral posture vs. awkward posture, head over to OH&S's website.
Regular Movement
In order to maintain healthy and flexible joints, it's imperative that you engage in regular movement and stretching. However, this can prove difficult when working a job that requires constant sitting. With this in mind, make a point of performing basic stretches every few hours throughout the workday. As you'll find, a little bit of exercise can go a long way in keeping your joints nice and flexible.
Good Lighting
Poorly-lit workplaces have been shown to increase job stress and general unease in workers, ultimately making them very uncomfortable. Bad lighting can be particularly problematic for workers who suffer from vision problems. On the flipside, workplaces with good lighting tend to have higher rates of productivity and employee satisfaction.
Originating in the 1950s, ergonomics remains a popular area of study for biomedical engineers – and for good reason. Finding ways to promote workplace comfort is very important for people who work in physically demanding professions. Even if you've never studied biomedical engineering, there are simple yet effective measures you can take to improve the ergonomics in your work environment.
Purchasing Boots to Go Horse Riding
When my friend took me horse riding for the first time, I fell in love with it. I had never been on a horse before, or even near one for that matter. There was just something so peaceful about sitting that high and going for a long ride, especially with a horse as gentle as the one I learned on. I knew that I wanted to go again and again, and I ended up buying my own horse about a year later. When I bought him, I knew that I was going to need horse riding boots too because I planned on taking him out for long rides as often as possible.

I hope you've had a great summer and been able to recharge and relax during the break.
As I've written before, we undertook a significant summer project to modernize 24 classrooms at Scecina. When the students come back to school, they'll see the improvements in their classrooms. These include new floors, ceilings, windows and blinds, as well as fresh paint and a few other touch-ups.
Just as we have refreshed our school building, the staff and faculty also need to renew before the new school year starts. We did just that at the annual mini-retreat this week. Thanks to new Director of Campus Ministry, Amy Noser, for her work in organizing a productive, relaxing and fun retreat. It was a perfect setting and a perfect night for socializing and reflecting upon on our roles as Catholic educators.
Our special retreat guest, Deacon Rick Wagner, who has had a long career in Catholic education, spoke about the Parable of the Sower, who spread seed upon different types of soil (Matthew 13:1-9). Deacon Rick challenged us with a question: What type of soil are we providing for the young people entrusted to us?
Deacon Rick also told the story of the young rich man who asked how he could follow Jesus (Matthew 19:16-22). Jesus' reply was for him to sell everything and give the money to the poor. This story, Deacon Rick explained, shows us how our work is never finished. We must get up each day prepared for the opportunity to mold young lives. Catholic educators are required to do more than check tasks off a list, he said. We instead are to seek and develop the dignity and beauty that are in every student.
"We're not Catholic educators because of what we do," he said. "We're Catholic educators because of who we are."
This school year, as we welcome new families, faculty, and a new principal, Dr. Joe Brettnacher, we also renew our pledge to be that fertile soil our young people need to learn, grow, and go forth to transform the world inspired by the light of Christ.
God Bless,

Put the blame on electricity and the clothes you wear.
The Consumer Price Index for the Tacoma-Seattle area rose 0.2 percent for the two months ending in February when compared with December's prices, and the greatest contributors to the increase were apparel and energy.
The 0.2 percent price increase for the two-month period followed a 1.1 percent decrease in overall prices recorded in December. One year ago, the Bureau of Labor Statistics noted a bi-monthly increase of 0.7 percent.
Electricity led gainers while sparking a price increase of 15.4 percent over December's figures. The cost of apparel rose 4.8 percent over two months while the cost of shelter rose 0.5 percent.
Among decliners, gasoline stationed itself in the lead with an overall decline of 18.3 percent through two months. Gasoline prices were down 30.1 percent over 12 months, although in just the past month the drop has moderated with prices rising 0.5 percent, the BLS reported.
The cost of groceries fell 0.3 percent over two months and has risen 3.2 percent over the year. The cost of food eaten away from home was unchanged, while alcoholic beverages decreased 1.0 percent.
The cost of medical care increased 0.9 percent and recreation rose 1.2 percent, the BLS said.

Today's anagram came right out of the collage I did earlier today (see previous post collage)…and life is imitating art today. I used the text from one frame of today's Over the Hedge, the text, "OOO, I like the whole retro look, and the classic ride, they're obviously well off." (and) "we're gonna eat like kings." I will preface this by saying, a little before 6 PM a friend came by with a truckload of wood, hickory and osage orange. I was just about out of real wood (trees versus scrap signage) so it arrived just in time for the change of weather coming in tonight. It was about 50 today, and will be in the 20's tomorrow.
The anagrams are similar, I did three:
1.) "I really like the wood we got, osage, hickory, look! I know it's hard to believe…roll once, seen earth life's fun." A little Einsteinian, I thought.
2.) "Looks like real choice delivery! All knew I rely on wood for heat…I age OK, though soon witness better life."
3.) "Looks like real choice delivery…all knew I rely on wood for heating, see the rule book, go to witness faith."
A little Beverly Hillbillies, eh? See two entries before this one. I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds!

I have been a tax preparer for over 40 years, with a BA and MBA.
I am extremely upset with the new Internal Revenue Service policies, especially those that involve the Earned Income Tax Credit. While I do understand that the IRS, and hence taxpayers, have a huge problem with fraudulent returns, I believe they are going too far. I do not work for the IRS nor am I employed by the IRS police department enforcement unit. I don't mind having to ask a client a list of questions prepared by the IRS to determine eligibility. I also believe said form should be attached to the clients' return to serve as proof that we, as paid prepares, have done our due diligence and hence should relieved of any additional responsibility or liability.
I am working for my client, and not the IRS.
Why should I be responsible for asking additional questions, which the IRS itself cannot even define in advance? I am not hired to audit an individual's financial information. I prepare every return based on the information a client provides me and rely on them telling me the truth. Anything else would cross the line into an audit. I point out, for example, that when a client states that they have medical insurance for their pet and have out-of-pocket medical expenses for their surgery, that these are not deductible. I don't ask them to show me every receipt for their Schedule C or LLC operation.
At best, some of the decisions we are asking to make are judgmental in nature. Why shouldn't the total responsibility be on the taxpayer? Let me state that I am not talking about a situation where a preparer schemes or consorts with the client to fraudulently extract funds from the IRS. They should both be sent to jail and not given a nominal fine.
I helped defend a lawsuit many years ago brought by New York State against my employer, a plumbing repair contractor, involving the status of capital improvements. When a customer asked us for a capital improvement certificat to avoid the payment of sales tax, we generally gave it to them. After all, replacing a water faucet (as opposed to fixing one) does have a useful life of more than a year.
New York hit us with a $20,000-plus lawsuit stating that we should determine whether a job was deemed a capital improvement, and not the customer. Along with the aid of a plumbing association, we fought the lawsuit and won. New York appealed the decisions and we won again on appeal. They then tried to bring the action again at the state supreme court level and the judge refused to hear it, advising the state that we were not their police force. They need to challenge the customer who makes the final determination.
While that case is not exactly the same, the concept is similar and should apply. The IRS should not be able to force us into becoming their auditors or police. After all, what would they do if the taxpayer prepares their own return or simply walks out and goes to the guy down the street now that I've instructed him which of his answers would not let me file for the EITC?

This is legacy functionality, only available on accounts created before June 27 2016 and it is being deprecated on May 31st 2018.
Accounts that were created before April 2014, when we introduced the new BeepManager Incident alerting system, were migrated to BeepManager Light from the old alerting system. Accounts created after this date received the full BeepManager by default.
BeepManager Light is included by default in all legacy Pingdom plans. This alerting plan includes incidents and alert policies, but the latter only offers one assignment and an optional possibility to CC other users or alerting endpoints. On-duty schedules and maintenance are not included in this plan but you can look at demo versions of this.
BeepManager Pro provides full access to all Alerting functionality and is the default on all new Pingdom accounts. This plan allows for having additional users that can be invited, use them to manage incidents, scheduling and alerting. This is labeled simply as BeepManager throughout Pingdom.

Congratulations on your decision to learn more about yourself and how to bring more joy, happiness, and satisfaction to your life. It will be my honor to be your guide on your journey of growth, exploration, and change. While therapy typically starts by treating problems, the best part of therapy is when families and couples find themselves achieving the relationships and life goals they hope for. Most people think good relationships and happy families just happen, simply as a matter of luck and circumstances. They would never think that science would have anything useful to say about good relationships, let alone love. In fact, from the youngest baby until the day we pass from this earth, modern science demonstrates that deep experiences of safety, security, and trust provide the foundations of all successful human relationships.
I believe that the children, couples, and families with whom I work are doing their best to cope with stressors in their lives. I offer that extra help we can all use during times of stress. I use short-term and solution-focused approaches to therapy because changes in therapy should not take forever. My services include: family therapy; marital therapy; and parenting support for new parents, including working with parents of babies with colic.
My focus on working with children, families, and their parents started in graduate school, at the University of Miami, where I graduated with my Ph.D. in Child and Family Psychology. My therapeutic approach for younger children is largely family based. When working with adolescents, I include individual work, but still involve the family as an integral part of therapy. My couples' work continues to emphasize the concepts of safety, security, and trust as the organizing principles of successful relationships. In addition to teaching basic principles in therapy, my therapeutic practice incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindful awareness practices, and awareness of body based responses to life events. Finally, over the years I have developed a comprehensive set of cognitive, achievement, and psychological assessment materials for children of all ages.
Although the core of my practice remains the treatment and resolution of relational trauma, particularly related to childhood, I also help families and couples dealing with anger and acting out; anxiety and depression; IVF, adoption, and foster care; chronic health issues; domestic unrest; relocating and other life transitions; financial challenges; and other situations. I treat a variety of disorders in my practice including: ADHD; anxiety and depression; developmental and autistic disorders; emotional and physical abuse; oppositional, defiant and other conduct disorders; separation and divorce; and the range of issues presented by couples. Through all my experiences I have found a few fundamental principles that bring fulfillment to our closest relationships.

Research in Motion's (RIM) follow-up to its first touchscreen mobile phone is going to make an appearance on contracts from both O2 and T-Mobile in the spring of 2010 according to recent reports.
T-Mobile will begin stocking the Storm 2 from some point in February, although it did not say for how much it would retail or even provide a specific date for its release.
O2 has made a similarly cautious announcement, which says little more than it will soon be offering the Storm 2 on a monthly contract, with no word as to pricing or a release date.
After RIM failed to impress with the Original Storm back in 2008, many have seen the Storm 2 as a significant improvement and proof that a touchscreen BlackBerry can work.
Vodafone was the first of the UK networks to offer the Storm 2 on contract and with its unique clickable capacitive touchscreen and range of connectivity options it is a progressive choice for businesspeople.

Contention #1: The economy can recover without deficit spending.
Before the creation of the Federal Reserve, the economy was a long series of depressions separated by brief periods of economic growth. After the federal banking system was established, banks often borrowed and spent money (which is what the government does with deficit spending). This led to the Great Depression, but the economy started to heal itself in 1933. In modern times, the economy can't heal itself because of excessive stimulus. [1]
As you can see in the graph, the stimulus package didn't allow the economy to heal itself, and it just caused further decline.
Sorry for making my argument so short as I have been busy lately, but it's a five round debate, so I might add some in the next round.
[1] http://economyandmarkets.com...
For this round I shall be going over three contentions on two main aspects of stimulas and then move on to status quo deficit spending.
Contention 1: Monetary Stimulas
Monetary stimulas is quite key in many things as in 2008 during the subprime crisis, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernake created a stimulas that far surpassed that of the Federal Government's TARP, which I'll get into TARP later on. Bernake saw the issue in the economy needed a huge fix and it was obvious that he needed to supply credit, not liquidity [1]. The Monetary policy had many types of stimulas, but none more effective, by far, than the Quantitiative Easing (QE from this point forward).
During QE1, the Federal Reserve purchased US treasury bonds that were morgaged based bringing totals up to nearly $2 trillion [2]. This was important as the Federal Reserve had no choice, but to buy these toxic assets as many banks began to go under. Much of these toxic assets were grouped together in CDS, which these toxic assets and bad mortgages were packaged and sold off to other banks as well as other companies. When Lehman Brother's went under, the Fed jumped in and began to start buying these toxic assets. Many of these came from Freddie and Fannie Mae's Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS). In QE3, the Federal Reserve has increased purchasing MBS and GSE (Government Sponsered Enterprises) debt increased to $85 billion per month and this would continue until the markets recovered. To this point, the Federal Reserve's total holding are at $4.4 trillion by the end of 2014 [3]. US unemployment has fallen from 10% to now around 5% by the end of 2014 [4]. Unlike many critics speculation, QE did not lead to the hyperinflation that many had feared as the US economy began to recover. In the purchasing of the toxic assets and public debt, it enfused credit into the markets leading to an increase in AD which is the number 1 driver of the economy as nearly everything and all paths to recovery revolves around the AD and as the public spending increases, it sepdns signals to the consumers that the economy is beginning to recover and they can feel safe to begin continuation of consumer spending and making investments. This has helped pave the pathway to recovery that Free Market policy wouldn't be able to even come close to such a safe recovery as we would have likely have been plunged into another Great Depression as world markets were all beginning to fail.
Contention 2: Fiscal Stimulas
Much of the Republicans have cried foul when the TARP bill was passed, but then blamed Obama when the bill wasn't enough and the economy was in shambles. The thing was, TARP wasn't enough. Economist Paul Krugman stated that the US economy could produce $30 trillion in a year, but under the crisis, the US under produced well under 6.5%. The TARP bill tried to fix a multi trillion dollar problem and came no where close to enough [5]. If you are blaming the slow recovery on Stimulas Spending, then you are in the wrong as there simply wasn't enough of a deficiet undertaken in order to actually fix the problem as many Republicans were going to road block this bill if a higher amount was purposed.
A huge question purposed that many people on the right can't answer is what can we do to increase jobs under a recession? We simply can't sit back and do nothing. What needs to be done, as brought up before, is the encouragement of public spending as well as increase consumer spending. Contrary to the "hole digger" jobs that many think only came out the FDR's New Deal, the US Federal Government helped build the TVA, 2,500 hosptials, 45,000 schools, 7,800 bridges, 700,000 miles of road, and employed 5,000 teachers [6]. Hoover refused to go into debt in order to get the US out of the Great Depression, but he declined to do so. FDR employed over 60% of the unemployed population as well as he reduced unemployment from 25% in 1933 to 9.6% in 1936. All in all, FDR took the unemployment rate from nearly 40% down under 5%. A key thing about fiscal spending in situations like this is that it gives people who would normally not have any money, a paycheck which can be re-entered into the economy through spending which gives more people jobs and helps the economy recover. This was done with new programs like Welfare and Social Security, so now grandparents didn't have to move in with their children as it would put of burden on them forcing them to spend less.
Contention 3: A Balanced Budget won't work.
Unlike many Conservatives say, cutting the budget will only hurt the economy. Economist John Maynard Keynes had argued that the government is a multiplier for growth and their public spending would generate demand. This is important in this debate as the further we go into debt, the better our economy will be. Now I'm not saying we should spend endlessly, but we definately should not only go and spend very little or what we have as income for our government. Doing this would extremely harm us. Sequester also showed that this was an issue as more spending was cut, we saw unemployment rise as well as damage our economy [7]. Our recovery that was well within reach was slowed and it would have been much faster. A huge example of this was when the Republicans tried to shift Medicade into a voucher system and even though it looks good on paper with a shifting of a few Trillion, but when everything and said and done, the program's cost will balloon to $34 trillion which makes things worse on the private sector [8]. You could just argue that the current US budget is fine where it is. The USFG makes about $1.1 trillion per year, but spends $3.3 trillion per year [9]. This means in order to ballence the USFG would need to shrink its spending to a third of its size. Shrinking the budget this size would destroy the economy.

Additional Arguments
Contention #2: The government needs to pay off its debt or the private sector will lose money.
Approximately 32.5% of government debt is owed to individuals and institutions in the private sector, as shown in this chart:
This means that over $6 trillion have been borrowed from the private sector. If the government never pays off this debt and continues to borrow, the private sector will continue to lose trillions of dollars.
Borrowing from the private sector also defeats the purpose of economic stimulus. Why borrow so much money if you're going to give some of it back without hesitation? It would be much more efficient to let people keep more of their money. The economy is hurt when businesses fail, businesses fail because they don't have enough money, and they lose money when the government takes it. If the government didn't spend so much money, the private sector wouldn't have to give so much away.
You can also tell from the chart that 32.7% of debt is owed to foreign countries, which leads me to my next contention.
Contention #3: Too much reliance on foreign countries makes the U.S. economy vulnerable.
The government has borrowed trillions of dollars from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Belgium, Ireland, Brazil, and the UK. If any of those countries were to have an economic crisis, the government would either lose money or be forced to borrow more from the private sector. If the government wanted to continue deficit spending, they would borrow more from the private sector, which would just make the economy worse as businesses lose money.
The economy can heal on its own. Deficit spending doesn't work and it harms the private sector.
For this round I shall refute my opponent's case from the past two rounds.
Contention 1: The economy can recover without deficit spending.
My opponent claims what the Stimulas spending lead to the Great Depression, but in my last round I have shown how this is false and how it was used to get us out of the Great Depression. Even though the economy self recovers, stimulas spending speeds up this process.
For my opponent's second part of this argument, we can see that he's really looking at the wrong thing. Here we can see that after the TARP package unemployment began to fall. I also extend my arguments showing how Economist Paul Krugman shown how the TARP bill was way to small which was why it didn't work as fast. After the bill we can see that there were several great effects on the economy that my opponent hasn't brought up: US deflation returned to healthy inflation, Housing ownership began to stablize, prices stablized, Products sold increased, and industrial production had risen [1]. These are key indicators of the economy and we can see that they all began to skyrocket in recovery after the bill.
Contention 2: Government needs to pay off its debt.
My opponent starts to fret that the US can't pay off its debt, but this is simply wrong. Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan had stated, "The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default. [2]" It is also impossible for the US to default since all public debt is paid with by the dollar. We have a zero percent chance of doing so, thus my opponent's contention doesn't really have an impact.
Contention 3: Reliance is bad.
Next, we can see that my opponent's claim on us owing all these nations trillions in debt is simple false. This is completely as well as mathematically impossible. Debt can be seen as a good thing. Alexander Hamilton had actually endorsed this as it would interconnect the US and other nations would not want to let anything bad to happen to the US as it would harm them [3]. If we would get rid of our debt, many nations wouldn't care as much.

Bob13 forfeited this round.
All points extended.
When in economic crisis, the economy can heal without excessive government spending. Stimulus spending did help us get out of the Great Depression, but it did not put us in debt, so it was not deficit spending. In addition, the economy ended up healing itself during WW2.
Con even admits that the economy can recover on its own, and as my chart showed, deficit spending only creates a temporary solution to economic problems.
In conclusion, the economy can heal itself, and though deficit spending creates a temporary solution to economic problems, it isn't necessary, it takes money from the private sector, and it increases our dependence on foreign nations.
To conclude this debate we can see that my opponent has neglected to contest any of my arguments leaving them droped in this debate. We can see that the Stinmuli through deficet spending does more then allowing the economy to recover on it's own. Even under the status quo, we have no choice, but to deficit spend and there is no true way that we as Americans can ballance our budget as we would be destroying our economy through all of these budget cuts. Deficit Spending can lead to great things just as it had helped the economy recover during the Great Depression. The TARP bill was too small and key economists had argued that if it were bigger we could have fixed the economy. Many of these things are really ignored and must be taken into account when we face economic downturn. The only thing we can do is spend to give the economy that spark it so desperately desires in order to save it and keep it from total collapse.
With that I thank you and urge you to vote Con!

contention still works), and explaining that public debt is payed with by the dollar, thus the US would not default, thus negating the argument. Con also explains that dependence on other nations is good as it deters countries from wanting anything bad to happen to the US. Thus, the impact of Pro"s argument is turned into Con"s favor.
In the end, all of Pro"s arguments are negated by Con, and Pro dropped all of Con"s arguments. Thus, Con"s impact outweighs Pro"s, and Con wins.
[Note: my understanding of economics is below average, I really need to do something about that"]
In Pro"s opening arguments, he argues that without deficit spending, the economy is able to heal itself from depressions. But with deficit spending, it is unable to. (Continuing to R3) Pro argues that deficit spending leads to debts to the private sector that the government cannot pay back, resulting in the private sector losing lots of money. Pro also argues that deficit spending makes the US economically tied to countries we are borrowing from. Thus is they have an economic crisis, our economy is hurt as well.
Con"s opening arguments are confusing, partly because of my absent knowledge of economics, but also because it is confusing. Lucidity=strength in debate. Regardless, I interpret it as deficit spending prevented the US from plunging into another Great Depression, so, basically, more economic stability. Con also explains how deficit spending can be used to get out of a recession and help the economy recover. Con"s third argument is very strong, he explains that if we were not to use deficit spending, it would destroy the economy for it would have to shrink to a third of its size. So not only is deficit spending beneficial to the economy, but *necessary* to its existence.
Pro drops all of Con"s arguments due to forfeit. Con responds to Pro"s first argument by citing his opening argument that proves the opposite of what Pro claims true, thus negating it. He furthermore shows that deficit spending did not hurt the economy, but actually helped it by turning US deflation to healthy inflation, stabilizing housing ownership, stabilizing prices, icnreased product sales, and increased industrial production. Con responds to the private sector debt by explaining that the US can always pay it off by printing money (but that rebuttal doesn"t work because the printed money would result in inflation; a net negative. As long as there is a negative the conte

Day 60 -- Superstition
When: Tuesday, October 30th, 2012
Where: To work at Alexis Bittar
Dress: Leah Reena Goren via Anthropologie | Sweater: Staring at Stars via Urban Outfitters |
Belt: H&M | Shoes: BDG via Urban Outfitters | Jewelry: Alexis Bittar | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs |
I got this dress at Anthro the other night and I thought it would be the perfect piece to wear right before Halloween. I love the kitty print! During any other time of the year, it would just be considered cute, but I felt kind of spooky wearing it today... like there were a hundred black cats in the room. Boo!
The Global Girl today. Ndoema, if you don't already know, runs an amazing fashion and lifestyle blog and she posts in seven languages! Phillip takes her photos and really has an eye for film.
I started thinking about the way Alex and I have been kind of working on my blog together recently. I used to just shove my iphone at him and tell him to take my photo. In the beginning, it was more about just documenting the outfit and moving on. But over the last few days, Alex has been really encouraging me to be creative through the photos themselves as well as my clothing.
And I'm loving the result! I mean, how cool am I as a triplet?! I even love the gif he made of me! I felt really inspired by Ndoema and Phillip's way of working together, and it made me feel more free to bounce idea off of Alex and use his abilities! I'm so excited about future blog posts and different things we can try!
Definitely let me know what you think!

Stanford captures Pac-12 title, earns Rose Bowl berth
STANFORD, Calif. - The hottest team in the country continued their winning ways at home as Stanford topped UCLA, 27-24, Friday night in the second annual Pac-12 Football Championship Game to win the conference and earn a berth in the Rose Bowl.
Running back Stepfan Taylor moved into first place on the school's career rushing list in the middle of yet another solid performance by the senior. Quarterback Kevin Hogan came up clutch once again as he kept his record perfect as a starter, tossing a beautiful touchdown throw to receiver Drew Terrell in the fourth quarter to swing momentum back in favor of Stanford.
A bad snap on UCLA's 52-yard field goal attempt with :34 left on the clock sealed Stanford's fate.
The Cardinal defense was not as sharp as they were six days ago when the two teams met at the Rose Bowl to conclude the regular season. UCLA tailback Johnathan Franklin averaged over 10 yards per carry and was part of a Bruins rushing attack that ran for more yards than any team since Oregon did in 2010.
The 2012 Pac-12 title is the program's first since the 1999 season and its 13th overall. Stanford won its fourth straight over a ranked foe for the first time in school history and has won 13 of its last 14 games played in the month of November.
Pac-12 Coach of the Year David Shaw won the Pac-12 championship in only his second season as head coach of the Cardinal.
