Doris & Family:
So sorry for your loss. We have many fond memories of Don over the past several years since we got to know you both at Mercedes, Texas. Especially, the many enjoyable rounds of golf at Llano Grande and later a round or two with "El Presidente", lots of laughs and great times. Don so loved the game of golf during the winter months. We will cherish those memories, and miss him.
Zeke & Bonnie
All the Thompson's are very sorry for your loss. Linda, Jim and I missed seeing Don and Doris this summer at the cottage we rented on White Lake. Don was such a good friend to our parents and we appreciated his help with snow plowing when they were struggling to clear snow. We share in your grief.
Doris, Ken and Kelvin and familys- Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Mary
Condolences to Doris and your family to this time of sorrow.

Therapeutic Cloning Gets Boost From Experiments With Mice
For the U.S. Senate debate over cloning technology, this could be the mouse that roared.
Biologists in Massachusetts have for the first time used so-called therapeutic cloning to treat a sick animal with corrected copies of its own cells.
Scientists have theorized that similar technology could be used to treat a host of human diseases, including...

I bought a used Seagate (model #st650211cf) 5 gb Type II drive. It didn't arrive with a driver CD. I have placed in a computer runnng Windows XP and Windows 95. Both computers acknowledge the drive. They state that a PCMCIA IDE/ATAPI Controller has been inserted. It is also listed in Device Manager as working properly. It does not show up in My Computer, nor in the Administrative section under Disk Management. I have looked on the Seagate website for a driver. It seems like it is an old drive, but it does not have drivers available.

Thanks for the info. What an ordeal just to get the drive to work. I've gotten a lot of stuff from ebay, sometimes you get stuck. This drive seems really complicated, but it may be worth five more dollars to get it to work. I've checked them and they have the reader. Again, thanks for the assist.

17 Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us (Philippians 3).
We've all heard the idiomatic rhyme: "Birds of a feather flock together." Perhaps if the saying were alive in his day and culture, Paul might even have used it here, for it does definitely seem to incapsulate the meaning he is trying to convey. Or, if another idiom had been available, he might have encouraged them to become "Copycats" of other believers who were like him.
Super-spiritual folks might rebuff this notion with an exhortation that we follow no one and copy no one but Jesus alone — that He alone is the only Standard for us, and that all men, no matter how spiritual, still fall short. And yet, it is clear from this verse that, while Jesus is the Standard (and yes, we all do fall short), there are indeed those whom God places around us, those whose standards of living reflect at least in some degree that perfect Standard — and it is not idolatrous to follow them and imitate them.
Lord, thank You for putting people like Jesus around us. Help us This Day to keep an eye out for them, and then, once found, an eye on them. Amen.

Re: The English Movies Thread (No Spoilers Please)
Watched 13 hours. Good work by Michael Bay. Action, and lot of it very believable. It is based on the 2012 attacks on the CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, 2012. Bay hasn't taken a lot of artistic liberties, and that's a very good thing. The movie sticks to the actual events as far as possible.

Re: The English Movies Thread (No Spoilers Please)
You could watch it on the big screen just for the sake of the massive antics.
Otherwise, it was bad. Apocalypse has been made into doomsday of SvB. Yeah, they keep saying "he is so powerful, he will kill us, he will destroy everything", but you JUST DONT see it in the movie. Watch the last few episodes of X Men:evolution to understand how bad this guy is!
And the choice of actors? I know the old would not fit, but c'mon, dont scrape the bottom of the barrel!
Famke Janssen, Halle berry, James Marsden(yeah, him too!), Rebecca Stamos.
Current guys are useless for such major characters like the ones above. Only one who seemed as good was Nightcrawler.
And the dialogues!!
Hol-eeee!!! SOme of the worst ever!
I'd still give it a 3/5 just for the massive scale of the events shown.

13 Hours - The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
4.5/5. Absolutely Brilliant Movie. Edge of the seat action with almost everything replicated as it actually happened.
It has covered the emotions, the team bonding, the will to live and most of all the power of America to support its people wherever on this planet.
An Absolute must watch.
PS: Watching this movie, although this had CIA personnel in them, it made me wonder, if ordinary Indians were stuck in a far flung place like this in need of military assistance, would Indian Army/Navy/Airforce come to the assistance pounding whoever is trying to harm us ?

But the US government - under the Democrats and Secretary of state Hillary Clinton failed to come to the rescue of the Ambassador and the GRS contractors had to fight so hard for their own survival.

Re: The English Movies Thread (No Spoilers Please)
The committee has spent nearly $7 million looking into an incident that had already been the subject of an independent investigation commissioned by the State Department and nine reports issued by seven other congressional committees. Those reviews faulted the federal government for failing to provide proper security for the American ambassador in Libya and three of his colleagues who were killed, but found no evidence of a cover-up or gross negligence by Mrs. Clinton. I am not getting too political, but believe me, if there was anything that could have been found on her, it would have been found, considering that she had announced her campaign by that time.

Misconduct (2016)
Josh Duhamel leads an all-star cast in a pacy thriller, which turns into a murder-fugitive drama. Despite boasting of heavyweights such as Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins and a story with enough twists to keep you thinking till the end, what bogs the film down is the absolute emotionless performance of the entire cast. The only one who does anything worth of note is Malin Akerman (of Watchmen fame).
Sad to see so much talent wasted. What could have been a dark, deceitful, twisted and edgy thriller ends up being a missed opportunity. Shame, really.

Re: The English Movies Thread (No Spoilers Please)
Not an English film, I saw it on the flight with subtitles. A wonderful story of a little girl staying with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps. I liked it so much I saw it again on the return flight! A very feel good and charming film. All the actors have done a splendid job and the locations are amazingly shot.
Check out:
Rating - 5/5
Another film (Hungarian) I saw was The Wednesday Child, a story about a teenage mother trying to do better in life for her son. Very well acted and directed.
The actress is debuting and has done a solid job on this. Recommended.
Rating - 4/5

Re: The English Movies Thread (No Spoilers Please)
Finally caught up with FURIOUS - 7. I would rate it 4/5 just for the entertainment value.
Most of the scenes are like... WTH !!! But are also entertaining to the core. I thought Haan was killed too early and too fast. I was expecting some car chasing and all, continued from the Furious-6 part.
I don't know if this technique was used before, but there is one very interesting camera technique used in Furious-7. When Lottie and that huge woman are fighting in that hotel in Abu Dhabi, Lottie falls down on the soft and then the sofa turns over. If you observe, the camera also moves with the sofa. Also, in the fight sequence where Paul is fighting with Tony Ja, when Paul falls, the camera also falls, literary. I found it very interesting.
The Lykan Hypersport flying from tower one to tower two to tower three is over the top, but amazingly shot, whether VFX or not.
Furious-8 is for sure on the cards, but this time without Paul.

Conjuring 2
Since the tickets were booked, I sat and watched Conjuring online from 1 AM to 3 AM the night before. While it did not seem very scary but had some really good scenes. Conjuring 2 is not different either. Has its bit of good scenes and also ties down to part 1 in some cases. Would rate it 4/5 stars at best
However, I felt that 5 & 6 were better flowing than 7 in the sense that there was some link between the scenes which I felt was missing in 7 to a certain extent. Felt slightly disjoint at times but nevertheless, lives up to the franchise name. The final scene too is a good one with Paul Walker taking a different road

Re: The English Movies Thread (No Spoilers Please)
A Typical Hollywood Horror with too much left for the Audience to interpret for themselves !
A Lot of Loose Ends and very little pre-info about the characters , barring the leads which result in zero connection with the characters !
For someone like me who prefers a Ghost with a strong motivation [or background] , I must say I am less than impressed.
PS : The Ghastly Nun is depicted well though !

Ho-Hum. Dont get in there with too much expectations. An average movie. Few dialogues are really funny and make you laugh. Else drab. Better get the barbecue out and invite your friends and maybe watch "only fools and horses" on a DVD @home.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Wednesday announced new procedures for detecting and removing unsafe ground beef from the food chain as part of efforts to prevent potentially deadly illnesses caused by contaminated meat.
The move "will allow the agency to trace contaminated ground beef back to its source more quickly, remove it from commerce, and find the root cause of the incident to prevent it from recurring," said USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service.

Leaking pipeline floods Sector 45 with sewage
Even after complaining to civic authorities for more than three months about sewage water flowing on to their colony road, residents of Sector-45 have got no relief from the problem.gurgaon Updated: May 20, 2016 00:43 IST
Even after complaining to civic authorities for more than three months about sewage water flowing on to their colony road, residents of Sector-45 have got no relief from the problem.
More than 200 families living in the locality are facing a lot of inconvenience in commuting as the 18-metre main road is submerged with dirty water leaking from the sewage pipeline of neighbouring Kanhai village.
"We have held many protests in the past three months and also written letters to the Municipal Corporation of Haryana (MCG) and Haryana Urban Development Authority (Huda), but no action has been taken," said Surinder Kaushik, general secretary, Sector-45 RWA.
Residents said the sewage water sometimes enters their house.
"The dirty water from the neighbouring village is harming the environment. It is difficult to live in the area because of the foul smell," said a resident of the area.
The stagnant water has turned into a breeding ground of mosquitoes.
"We complained to the Huda and MCG many times. On Sunday, the junior engineer visited the sector and tried to solve the problem but the water is still stagnant," Vikram Seth, a resident of the sector.
Residents said the sewage problem has aggravated the menace of stray pigs and dogs.
Huda officials, meanwhile, said they have told the contractor to solve the problem at the earliest.
"We are seeing that the problem is solved at the earliest. The residents will soon get relief from sewage water from the neighbouring village flooding the road," said a senior Huda official.

Kashu-do (歌手道): The Way of the Singer Is a Solitary One -- A New Year's Wish!
The most painful part of the path is the one that was not supposed to have happened in the natural scheme of things. It is not a natural thing for a singer to wake up one day and realize that s/he had not learned what s/he was supposed to have learned in order to be prepared. And even if the true singer will go back to what seems like the beginning, in order to become the singer s/he was meant to be, it is not without great difficulty that s/he undertakes the challenge to become more complete. The young singer who must work hard to develop a strong foundation either has the staying power or not. In the natural course of things, the young singer will find out whether s/he has what it takes to stay the course. Youth is indeed the natural time to deal with the frustrations of learning to sing. When one is older it is 1000 times more difficult, but the seeker of truth (one's personal truth) has no choice but to return to the road and attempt to find the real path once again.
In returning to the road and undertaking learning fundamentals again, the older singer must be armed with even greater faith, even greater patience, even greater courage. To take the path again, one must take as given that a real technique (for lack of a better term) is possible for anyone who truly wants it. Otherwise, it is self-torture to undergo the path again. One must have the courage to stay the course when it is easier to listen to the discouragement of the masses. One must have above all the patience to realize the vision of a healthy, pleasurable relationship with singing. Otherwise, any attempt is worthless.
In the best moment, it is no longer about the career, nor is it about adulation or impressing anyone. A singer is fundamentally a healer. What we do with great music, channeled through the purity of the fully-developed primal human voice is soul-nourishing. A singer must sing and in a way that heals others and him/herself through the process. To be blocked and frustrated is nothing short of karmic poisoning. We must complete the process of becoming skilled. Not for money, not for a career, not for applause, but for the sake of what singing means to the singer and indeed to the world of listeners.
Too much in the past year have I witnessed the hidden anger of singers who must come before an audience with a feeling of uncertainty and worthlessness. It costs them so much to keep their composure, but they should not have to go through such a hell. Too much the frustration of singers who yearn to be able to sing the song the way they always wished they could!
I am however lucky to have witnessed this year the light of hope in singers' eyes who see the light at the end of a long tunnel, who realized that indeed they can become masters of their voices, paradoxically by training it and then releasing it to do what it was always meant to do without conscious help. Yet there are moments, even after accomplishing once-seemingly-unattainable skills, when doubt rears its ugly head--doubt of whether that day will ever come when true ease is possible. This is the challenge that plagues so many otherwise capable and potentially inspiring artists. That question: "Will I ever sing well?" is poison. It is doubt! Those who were lucky to have developed good vocal strength and coordination before they were conscious that singing is a learned skill take for granted that they "have a beautiful voice" and can always find it again. The disadvantage of the singer who must consciously find his/her natural voice for the first time is that s/he feels she is chasing a dream, a legend that may or may not be true. I promise, it is not a legend. But like any true buried treasure, it takes an adventure to find it. But what wonder when the treasure is unearthed!!!
A beautiful functional voice that responds to the need to express is the "norm" and a birthright for every human being, barring some unfortunate physical handicap. A singer simply adds the musical component to that innate capacity. Yet our consciousness, which leads to the act of mimicry causes us to copy the voices of our parents, our older siblings and eventually our favorite singers, all the while losing track of the original, unique voice that is each individual's personal treasure. That unconscious loss means muscular deviation and unbalance. To regain our nature we must often go through unnatural frustrations. Yet, it is completely worth it because honest, unedited expression is healing to the human spirit. Hence the re-acquisition of our voices, our instrument of expression is not only necessary for the singer but for the human being. Unfettered expression awakens a truth in our fellow human being that makes vocal performance, whether theater or singing, a necessary ceremony--A ceremony that requires that the singer be a vessel of inspired human experience that is to then be shared by means of the voice.
My wish for each of you, my friends, is that you do not abandon the path to your true voices. In 2012, I wish you all some moments of clarity when you experience a glimpse of how special it is to express yourselves by means of your most natural voice. Stay the course: Faith, Courage, Patience...Hard Work Is a Given!

I'm in the process of relearning how to sing after a seven year hiatus. Your New Years post belongs on my practice area wall.
Seven years ago when I sang, I sang to prove what I could do. This time around, I'm singing to find out who I can be. A subtle but very important difference that is intimately connected to this observation of yours:

Thank you for your inspiring and wise words. I am so taken. I have always loved to sing and in so many ways it has saved my life. However, in the process of trying to build a life I lost my voice and all of what you have just written are all of those things that are of primal importance. Thank you for reminding me.

Thank you for walking the frustrating journey with me. After 13 years as a baritone/bass, it is likewise enlightening to know why my voice didn't quite function at its peak although I could sing well otherwise; yet tenor-dom is filled with obstacles. Nevertheless, I cannot give up, as tempting it is, as a non-singing professional, because I must express my (true)self, my true voice, not what I am comfortable with presenting in public! I also was motivated to sing "well" to impress, prove myself. New things for this year include finding a new teacher and time to sing in midst of work and a new baby.

Rektor Calls Upon Agens To Capture Princess
To create a Flash-animated music video for their song Princess, the Norwegian band Rektor called upon their fellow countrymen Peter Måseide and Kim Lid, directors at Agens.
Harboring a passion for C64 (Commodore 64) graphics, the Rektor team swims in 80s pop culture. Want proof? Check the band member's names – Magnum, Don Johnson and, my favorite, Jan F. Kennedy (okay, so they slipped in one 60′s reference). So it should come as no surprise that their video is filled with allusions to Pac-Man, Track & Field, Space Invaders, Rampage, Pitfall, Chopper Command, Super Mario Brothers and even Michael Jackson's Thriller. Any other references I missed?
5 Comments
You missed the Prince of Persia reference
Oh yuck. This is hideously terrible. Bad music; ugly Ren-and-Stimpy-gone-8-bit animation, and bad music.
I think you also missed International Karate and a fleeting reference to Donkey kong in the opening!
I didn't care for the music at all or the 8-bit look…I'm from exactly that era and those are totally my first games (actually, pong and Snake were) but this clone just couldn't do much to keep my attention. I switched off halfway through. Sorry
Junior Senior did a much better job of it with "Move your feet", imho.
Also, of lesser importance: Grand theft Auto: Vice City had exactly the same opening (typing in C64 screen + hacker opening). I'm sure that's not the only place that it's been done.
Keep postin'!
How does it have to do with Ren & Stimpy though!? Weird.
the song is brilliant!

With my Shillelagh under me arm . . .
A shillelagh is a stick traditionally used as a kind of fighting stick by Irishmen in the 19th century. It often had a knob at one end and had a string that could be wound around the wrist - a sail éille - from which comes the word shillelagh. They could be dangerous things to find coming at you. They are often sold to tourists as representing Ireland.
Bing Crosby sang about it:
"With me shillelagh under me arm
And a twinkle in me eye
I'll be off to Tipperary in the morning.
With me shillelagh under me arm
And a toora loora lie
I'll be welcome in the home that I was born in.
Me mother's told the neighbors
I'm going to settle down,
Phil the fluter's coming out
To play me round the town.
With me shillelagh under me arm
And a toora loora lie
I'll be off to Tipperary in the morning."
But this version is sung by Jack Daly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9ESwWg3dsI

GENEVA 2013 - Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible- first official images
Corvette Stingray convertible to debut at Geneva
Zurich. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible will make its world debut on March 5 at the Geneva Motor Show.
"It's fitting to introduce the new Stingray convertible on the global stage at Geneva, because Corvette is the face of Chevrolet the world over," said Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac Europe. "It is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
Currently, there are Corvette owner and enthusiast clubs in more than 100 countries. In fact, 58 percent of the 1.1 million fans who like Corvette's official Facebook page are outside the United States.
The Corvette Stingray convertible will deliver the same balance of technology, design and performance introduced on the coupe earlier in January in Detroit.
"Every Corvette is designed at the outset as an open car," said Tadge Juechter, Corvette chief engineer. "The new Stingray is no different, with the coupe and convertible designed to excel in any situation – be it your daily commute, a drive across the continent, or charging through twisting backroads."

The Growth of Portuguese Music
Each of these elements are stll alive in current Portuguese music like the French Provencal influence in the folk music played at festivals in the northern part of the country, as well as the rock and jazz most prevalent in the larger cities. An additional element is added by a wealth of singer-songwriters, most of whom spawned from the extremely political 'New Song' movement. This movement began rolling during the 1970's when the country threw off a thirty year dictatorship under Salazar, and was forced to withdraw from its colonies.
In Portuguese
folk music, there are a wide variety of instruments. Some of the most common include bagpipes, harmonicas, accordions, flutes, drums (adufes, bombos, caixas, pandeiros, sarroncas), and numerous percussion instruments (ferrinhos, genebres, reco-reco, trancanholas). However, Portugal is most well-known for its string instruments: violins, twelve-stringed "Portuguese guitar", and six variations of "viola-guitars" unknown to other European countries. Design, character, and tuning are unique to each one of the viola-guitars. The most well known is the small, four-stringed cavaquinho. The others have elaborate combinations of single, double, and even triple strings.
One of the common combinations of instruments is the zes-pereira. Comprised of a large bombo, a caixa, and a bagpipe or fife, these are often used to announce special occasions. Another tradition combination popular throughout the country is the rancho, made up of violins, guitars, clarinets, harmonicas and ferrinhos, later joined by the accodion.
The singers of Porgtugal are excellent. In every town there is an amateur choir. It is customary for someone to begin an acappella following a good meal, and others at the the table will join in. It not at all unusual, if you go to a fado performance, to find the enitre staff of the establishment taking part, from the owner to the person working the coatroom. To listen to a vocal ensaemble of three women from Manhouce, or a male choir from Alentejo is to hear genuinely popular roots music. Alentejo is home to the saia as well, sung by women as they play the pandeireta. Since Portugal is mostly a rural society, and is largely unaffected by industrialisation, there are a number of songs the reflect the cycles of nature, such as natal, reis and janeiras. These are often lullabies, or tilling, sowing, and harvest songs.
They also have singing contests where competitors improvise on a theme in turn, or the fandango, a dance where two men match their dancing skill. Other traditional dances inclue modas, despiques, chulas, rusgas, corridinhos, viras, waltzes, and the ritual steps of the pauliteiros (stick-dancers) of Miranda in the Douro region.
The fado is Portugal's most famous type of music. It is lyrical and very sentimental, and likely to have stems from African slave songs, though Portugal's own maritime and colonial past is equally noticeable .
After the revolution in 1974, when the empire was dispelled, the fado went through what could be called a crisis. Today, it has come to be identified with an overall sense of frustration.
There are two versions of the fado. The first of which is style of the Alfama and Mouraria districts of Lisbon which is played mostly in the Bairro Alto clubs. It is highly personal and full of feeling. The Coimbra style is much more academic, played mostly by students, and reflects the ancient university traditions of the city. In either style, fado songs are usually about love, though there have been songs written on other subjects.
By far, the most famous of the fado singers, and arguable its greatest performer, is Amalia Rodrigues. She can be seen a prestige clubs and concerts in Lisbon, though in...

There is much already published on the medical websites about the facial expressions in psp. Some call it a "worried look" others say "astonished, grimmising, angry". Some have commented about the look "of someone who has just tasted something bad" There are articles written about the wrinkling forehead and the procerus muscles. This is very common in psp and is noteworthy. Doctors who have seen many many psp patients have noticed this unusual appearance. I want to give my theory on why it happens.
My theory is twofold.. (I have given this a great deal of thought)
-One reason of this wrinkling forehead/eyes look is to limit the amount of light coming into the eyes/brain
-The second reason is to try and keep the eyes open when they are drooping and wanting to close.
I know this because it happens to me every day.

Donald Trump isn't giving up on his months-long tirade against Amazon, Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post.
Trump went on Fox News Thursday night to tell Sean Hannity the same theory he's been spouting since he went on an epic Twitter tirade against Bezos in December.
Trump's contention can basically be boiled down to this: Bezos bought the Washington Post in 2013 in order to persuade Washington politicians to keep Amazon's taxes low and help the company avoid antitrust scrutiny. And Trump says that since he would be tougher on Amazon than Hillary Clinton, Bezos is also using the Post to write nasty articles about Trump to keep him out of the White House.
Or, in Trump's own words….
"This is owned as a toy by Jeff Bezos who controls Amazon," Trump told Hannity. "Amazon is getting away with murder tax-wise. He's using the Washington Post for power so that the politicians in Washington don't tax Amazon like they should be taxed."
Trump said Bezos is "worried about me," because "he thinks I would go after him for antitrust because he's got a huge antitrust problem. Amazon is controlling so much of what they're doing … What he's got is a monopoly and he wants to make sure I don't get in."
In a statement, Washington Post editor Marty Baron denied Trump's charges.
"As the individual who oversees The Washington Post's news staff, I can say categorically that I have received no instructions from Jeff Bezos regarding our coverage of the presidential campaign — or, for that matter, any other subject," Baron said. "The Post has a long tradition of publishing thorough examinations of the major party nominees for president."
A spokesman for Amazon(AMZN, Tech30) declined to comment.
Conspiracy theory not based in reality
The problem with Trump's argument is that it's a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that isn't backed up by the facts.
It's clear that the Washington Post has written many negative articles about Trump, and the newspaper's dislike for Trump is well known.
But connecting the dots to Amazon, which the billionaire Bezos also owns, doesn't make sense.
Amazon paid $273 million cash in income taxes last year, up from $177 million the year before and $169 million in 2013, according to its latest annual report.
That's actually pretty impressive, considering it made just under $600 million in profit in 2015. It had a $241 million loss in 2014 and a $274 million profit in 2013. There are companies with far bigger profits, like GM(GM) and United(UAL), that pay zero U.S. income taxes.
Related: Amazon customers tell Jeff Bezos to 'dump Trump'
Amazon has come under attack for not collecting sales tax in the past. But the federal government doesn't collect sales taxes. There are 28 states that have passed laws requiring Amazon to collect sales tax, but Washington politicians supposedly influenced by the Post have nothing to do with those laws.
The company has also faced scrutiny in Europe for underpaying its taxes. Its U.K. business paid just under £12 million last year, and the European Commission continues to investigate Amazon for its tax deals with Luxembourg, which may have helped Amazon underpay its taxes there for a decade.
It's also unclear that the government would have a solid antitrust case against Amazon. According to the Sherman Antitrust Act, a judge would need to find that Amazon is a monopoly that abuses its power and harms consumers as a result.
That's a high bar. Amazon is hardly the largest retailer. Its sales are about a fifth of Walmart's(WMT). It's true that Amazon has had a huge, sometimes disastrous impact on brick and mortar retailers. But even if federal prosecutors could convince a judge that Amazon were a monopoly, it could be tough to argue that consumers haven't benefited from Amazon's lower prices.
Trump vs. Bezos
Still, if Bezos thinks Trump would be bad for Amazon, there's good reason for that.
In February, when Chris Christie gave Trump his endorsement at a campaign rally in Fort Worth, Texas, Trump made a stump speech in which he threatened Bezos and Amazon.
"I have respect for Jeff Bezos, but he bought the Washington Post to have political influence," Trump said. "He owns Amazon. He wants political influence so Amazon will benefit from it. That's not right. And believe me, if I become president, oh do they have problems. They're going to have such problems."
Trump on Amazon: "If I become president, oh do they have problems. They're going to have such problems". • $AMZNhttps://t.co/208DgKJM8o
— CNBC Now (@CNBCnow) February 26, 2016
Trump's accusations began six months ago.
Two days after the editorial board of the Post called Trump a "poison pill" for the Republican party, Trump lashed out in a tweetstorm. He called Amazon a "big tax shelter," and Bezos' ownership of the Washington Post a "scam."
The @washingtonpost, which loses a fortune, is owned by @JeffBezos for purposes of keeping taxes down at his no profit company, @amazon.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
The @washingtonpost loses money (a deduction) and gives owner @JeffBezos power to screw public on low taxation of @Amazon! Big tax shelter
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
If @amazon ever had to pay fair taxes, its stock would crash and it would crumble like a paper bag. The @washingtonpost scam is saving it!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
Bezos, who Forbes says is worth $62.4 billion, responded by offering to send Trump, worth $4.5 billion, into space on one of his Blue Origin rockets.
Finally trashed by @realDonaldTrump. Will still reserve him a seat on the Blue Origin rocket. #sendDonaldtospacehttps://t.co/9OypFoxZk3

Odisha seeks allocation of two coal blocks for OTPCL
Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has written to the central government, requesting replacement of the coal block at Tentuloi with those at Chhendipada for the 2,400 MW power plant at Kamakhyanagar in Dhenkanal district.
"The cost of extracting coal from the deep cast mine (at Tentuloi) will be prohibitively high for which the Ministry of Coal has been requested several times for cancelation of the same," said Patnaik in his letter to union Power and Coal Minister Piyush Goyal, made public on Sunday.
Instead, Chhendipada and Chhendipada-II coal blocks would be far more economical for Odisha Thermal Power Corporation Ltd (OTPCL), the state PSU setting up the thermal power plant, to produce electricity, the chief minister said.
"Allocation of these coal blocks to OTPCL will help in making available power at a cheap rate for the consumers of Odisha."
Tentuloi coal block also fell short of OTPCL's requirement of 16 million tonnes of coal, while Chhendipada would supply the need well, the chief minister said.
OTPCL is a joint venture between Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC) and Odisha Hydro Power Corporation (OHPC)

This weekend I spent most of the weekend with my knitty girlfriends at Knitting in the Heartland, the Sunflower Knitters Guild's annual conference. This year's featured guest was Stefanie Japel from Glampyre Knits and author of the book Fitted Knits. The best part was that this conference was local – right here in KC!
Friday night we started with a knitty girls dinner at the famous Jack Stack for some great margaritas and BBQ (and mmmm cheesy corn bake!). Saturday morning dawned too early for me. I got to the hotel just before 9am and settled into a class taught by Stefanie. I was so impressed! She's fun and funny, and a great teacher. While I was too advanced for the class, I enjoyed hearing about how she applies her techniques to existing patterns and she had some great thoughts about designing your own patterns using some simple tips and tricks.
Then lunch time arrived and it was time to SHOP! I was pretty good, but I did pick up a few things….
First I got a long awaited project bag from Girley Purls. The proprietress has been one of the most welcoming people since I arrived here in KC and her work is really amazing. She hand crafts each one of these bags, and she actually thinks about her customers and picks fabric that she thinks suits them. This one is perfect for me! I would highly recommend visiting her site and snapping up some project bags, stitch markers and anything else she sells!
From left to right: Memphis from Textiles A Mano, Knitty Bits sock yarn from Two Windows Dye Co., and Happy Feet from Misknits here in KC. I also picked up some stitch markers and some beautiful buttons (for the purple yarn).
Then last night 20 of us knitters (along with Stefanie) went out to dinner. I think we scared the restaurant staff when we showed up, ordered drinks, and pulled out our knitting to hang out for the evening. What a great day!
Today was a lazy day. I slept in a bit and then started some laundry. Wes and I took a long walk on the paths near and around our complex and then did a quick grocery trip. We also managed to set up a garden! No, we're not planting outdoors but for Christmas I bought Wes an Aero Garden so that we could try hydroponic gardening (water, seeds and light – no soil!) We set it up tonight and in a few days we should have herbs sprouting in our kitchen. Within 28 days we can harvest dill, chives, cilantro, basil, parsley and a couple of others.
Tonight he's cooking dinner and I'm knitting my little arse off (working all week means I'm really behind on my commissions and samples) and preparing for Monday.

Thing was huge, fresh and fried to perfection.
Hard to tell in the photo but there are fries and cole slaw at the bottom. 2 large fillets of fish, about a dozen or so sea scallops, 1/2 dozen or so large shrimp, clams on top. (i got strips , yea i know i know..lets not go down that road again.. but it comes with whole clams by default)... Two of us split it and still had leftovers.
Then we got our favorite flavor ice cream (which they usually dont have till fall), gingersnap molasses. We love that stuff, cant get enough..

Judge orders cash-starved Harrisburg Executive Branch to raise tax• AP
Commonwealth Court Judge Bonnie Brigance Leadbetter said raising the rate from 1 percent to 2 percent was a critical component of the debt-strapped state capital's recovery plan. Someone who earns $50,000 would see a $500 tax increase.
She said courts generally should not intrude into such a legislative task under the separation-of-powers doctrine, but that can be appropriate under "compelling circumstances."
[And you thought that was the exclusive prerogative of the legislative branch per your CONstitution.]

Hey, guys! Website overhaul, somebody said that I could paint so I',m going to try graphic design, you know, give back to my community or something. Whatever, support me already!
Photoshop – Adobe, hey it's me, Tina again, you stopped replying to my e-mails. Most of them with the subject line reading "Holy Crap, do people use this." And "What does this one do?" But apparently, you're all out of the office at the moment because you don't want to help one of the only paying customers of your service apparently. And you know what I'm talking about don't turn a blind eye to the obvious buccaneers stealing your software.
If you want to make image editing easy and accessible, why don't you just do it instead of putting in all of these buttons that do stupid things that people don't care about? I don't even want to look at another photo again because I'm afraid I'll think I can airbrush them out of existence.
Photofigureout what you're doing with your life Adobo!
Tumblr – I tried to get some advice and help from Tumblr, but wow, these people have problems. Everyone is calling me entitled and saying that I should just read a book or something. Which is just absurd because I'm certain that books have now been outlawed.
Anyway, I went in there looking for some help and advice, and all I got was a bunch of judgemental jerks in an apparently judgment free zone? I don't understand how any of it books but maybe they should all read a book on ironworking or something? You see how I used it ironically? Because I said, read a book and miseplled irony? That's why it's funny and not that I should read the Adobe book on Photoshop.
How about an attitude check instead?
DeviantArt – So instead of becoming a graphic designer I went to deviant art instead to learn about graphic design or maybe just support some local artists, and there was a surprising amount of full frontal nudity involving animals, but they're human? I'm not sure what to expect.
I will say this, Deviant, you have got some serious talent, I just don't know why you would use it on that, or why I feel so confused about my feelings on the matter as I do. I don't know. Call me or something.
Deviant, are you doing anything this evening?
A Graphic Advantage – So when we thought there couldn't be a light at the end of the tunnel it turns out there was. A person who made great art, who didn't make me feel like a jerk and who took my money and used it for something good.
A graphic advantage does all of the things that I've said above but is amazing at them instead of being a little jerk about it. I hired him and now if you want the best of Tina, just ask him because if it's good, then I made it and if it's bad I guess it was him, I heard a comedian say it once and it was funny, but I don't remember how it goes.
A graphic superiority complex
If you guys have any question just make sure to press the little red x in the top right or left corner of your screen.
Kkthnxbai, Tina.

BOSTON (Reuters) - A Massachusetts man accused of plotting to attack U.S. targets using model aircraft, in a case that reignited concern about the risk of a home-grown militant attack, pleaded not guilty on Monday to the charges.
Rezwan Ferdaus, 26, was charged over the plot to fly three remote-control, explosives-laden aircraft into the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol and to follow up the attacks with a ground assault.
He was also accused of attempting to provide material support and resources to the global Islamist militant network al Qaeda to carry out attacks on U.S. soldiers overseas.
Ferdaus, a U.S. citizen and resident of Ashland, Massachusetts, made the plea in U.S. district court in Worcester in his first public sighting since he was arrested on September 28 following a months-long undercover investigation led by the FBI.
A detention hearing for Ferdaus, a physics graduate from Northeastern University who was being held without bail, was postponed until October 20. Another status hearing was scheduled for November 14.
In its affidavit, U.S. authorities said Ferdaus was unwavering in his resolve to stage a violent "jihad." He told undercover agents who he thought were members of, or recruiters for, al Qaeda, that his goal was to kill as many "kafirs," or nonbelievers, as possible.

I just started it this morning and my body feels numb and my mind is so slow... sometime I feel I my body is flying... has anyone felt this way?

Oh my yes... The strange feeling I was having didn't go away until about the 5th or 6th week of being on contrave. Once my body got adjusted to the full dose most of the side affects went away except for dry mouth and the bitter taste in my mouth. Bare with it, it does get better. I'm on my 7th week and I finally feel normal again. I experienced every side affect they listed. It does get better. Hang in there and good luck.
Absolutely! I'm nearing the end of week 2 and still have this feeling, just not quite as often. I find that taking in lots of fluid helps, and definitely eat. It seems to hit so randomly, but I try to see it as a positive sign knowing that the medicine is still in my system and when I hit that 'sweet spot' that it will continue to work all day!

The Definitive Guide to holiday penang
With a total land region of just 1,048 km2 (405 sq mi), Penang is the next smallest condition in Malaysia by land mass, following Perlis. Penang, located within the northwestern coastline of Peninsular Malaysia, is made of Penang Island, a narrow strip with the Malay Peninsula and A few more compact islets.
foongpc explained... angie tan, Do not explain to me that what you listened to about some people speaking loudly outdoors your home are actually ghosts? So scary!
babette, haha! Even prepared to snooze for the meeting place Or perhaps the lodge foyer? I do think I'll much too! Better to snooze there than rest Along with the ghosts In the place! LOL!
lina mentioned... They may be pleasant spirits lah, I believe (the a person in my property, that is). Arrived and "frequented" me a single night time though I slept in Raimie's area. There were two of them, just one male and just one female dressed in all white and they beckoned me exterior to have a "discuss".
When the Peranakan culture continues to be a living a person, it is almost extinct right now a result of the Peranakans' re-absorption in the mainstream Chinese Group. Lots of adhere to in any other case Westernised ways of everyday living.
Just one rationale why I hated adjust of resorts - for the reason that I can't sleep / obtained pretty terrified in the evening. But the situation is, the ghosts (or spirits click that I've encountered) were being at my very own dwelling. Lagi scary!!!
- Prior to deciding to enter the place, knock over the door (in order to give a warning that you will be entering to ensure that it/they could get away from how must it/they be within.
And when you insist Regardless that they let you know the resort is absolutely occupied, they can have no decision but to position you Within the haunted area! So under no circumstances insist over a room In case the resort is currently whole : )
I squinted as being the sunlight with the window entered my eyes. I looked throughout the home. The aspiration was so true!
Up coming you will then proceed to tug the shoulder taught by affordable pandora charms once again pulling the top of the shirt so that you could iron the entrance of your shirt exactly where your pectoral muscles could be.
I just manufactured url up the rest of the story to spice items up. Regarding whether the hotel home was truly haunted, we had no means of knowing but until eventually now, Kye Li however believe that it's haunted.
Lodge Singh Worldwide claimed... I feel I am going to use the same here weblog template to yours. I find it very interesting to your reader.
I'm not likely to say the name of the resort, besides that from my resort area, I'm able to see the sea and E&O Hotel. I've changed the names of my close friends to safeguard their privateness.

There is no direct competitor to the Tesla Model 3, merely because it is considered a premium compact sedan. We could argue for the BMW i3, but even with a range extender it doesn't really come close at all.
And unless the BMW 3-Series or Mercedes C-Class arrives starts offering fully-electric models, its closest rivals would be the Chevrolet Bolt and Nissan Leaf.
They actually stand up against the Model 3 pretty well. The Bolt, for one, is going to arrive sooner than the other two.
It's also going to be eligible for the $7,500 federal tax incentive for more of its buyers; plus it boasts most occupant and storage space among all three vehicles in question.
Let's not forget that in comparison to Tesla, GM has way more experience producing reliable vehicles, and has more infrastructure at hand. The same could be said for Nissan, which promises quite an interesting EV in the second-gen Leaf.
Besides contending with Tesla Autopilot with its own semi-autonomous driving system, the Leaf is reportedly arriving with a range extender option called e-Power that would help it match the larger battery variants of the Model 3.
Having noted all of that, there's still one advantage Tesla has that GM and Nissan simply cannot equal, and it's the growing Supercharger network. There's no common standard adopted by other automakers for their EVs, and because of this alone Tesla overwhelms all of its competition.
Yes, Nissan Leaf owners do enjoy free charging from the stations built by Nissan, which won't be the case for future Model 3 owners. However, there are currently more than 200 Supercharger sites in the US, compared to only 38 dedicated stations for the Leaf.

Experience Autumn: Olive Harvest
If you are in Jordan for one the olive harvest in the fall, you are in luck! You can participate in the olive harvest and experience culture up close as you work alongside local families to gather olives. The olive harvest is an essential part of Jordan's calendar, being an event that both holds significance in terms of tradition and in terms of continuing to be a source of provision for local families.
The products that come from the farming of olives are extensive, and all are of value, making the farming of olives an essential part of Jordanian life and economy. Both the olives and the wood are valuable, the latter of course being fashioned into a variety of products from jewellery to furniture, and then sold. Important to note, only non-producing trees are used for furniture and jewelry pieces and household items are typically made from the prunings of the trees.
The olives themselves are the real deal though. Or perhaps, what they make is. Jordan is one of the world's top-10 producers of olive oil, and it's a good that they are for it is consumed by the gallon here- practically every meal uses this precious ingredient to bring life to the dish. A local favorite is simply bread dipped in olive oil and za'atar.
As stated, if you are in Jordan during the fall, you can visit an olive farm to witness and participate in the picking process. Here is your simple how to, so that you know you are up to the task of being an olive harvester.
First, you pull your hands down the branches, stripping the trees of the ripe olives, which then fall onto the tarpaulin stretched below the tree.
Once that tree is stripped of olives, the olives are shaken into the middle of the tarpaulin, ready to be sifted through and for all the twigs that have fallen into the mix to be removed. As you can see this is a very manual process in Jordan.
Any olives lying on the ground are also collected. Dried and shrivelled olives which are seemingly past their best due to having been left on the floor a while are actually the best kind to take to the press, for the water has evaporated from them leaving only concentrated oil behind!
The olives, now twig free, are piled in buckets, which are poured into sacks. These sacks get transported to the warehouse and factory where the press lives, and are then churned and juiced, pulped and purified, until only the gorgeous yellow oil remains.
This experience offers excellent insight into a process that is at the heart of Jordanian culture, in terms of economy, cuisine and tradition. Of course, not all olives are turned into olive oil, there is another process that begins to create olives for eating. Yum! But that is for another post.
We highly recommend this experience: educational and fun, it makes a great day out for all the family in the fresh air of the northern countryside, which is by far the greenest part of Jordan!
Next Autumn, sign up for the harvest- you won't regret it.

By John Walcott WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President-elect Donald Trump's rejection this weekend of U.S. intelligence analysts' conclusion that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help him win the White House is the latest in a string of conflicts between Trump and the intelligence community he will command. Most of them involve Russia, which has grown increasingly aggressive – according to what U.S. intelligence agencies have told Congress and the administration of President Barack Obama – in Syria and Ukraine.

STRI Mentor
William Wcislo
Research Interests
Work in my lab aims to understand both the evolution of behavior, and the role of behavior in shaping evolutionary change. Specifically we focus on i) social behavior in sweat bees (Halictidae) to understand the origins of sociality; ii) fungus-growing ants (Attini) to understand the evolution of social complexity, especially with respect to symbiosis, disease and public health; iii) phenotypic innovations that enable night-vision in nocturnal bees, which we use to understand how niche shifts facilitate adaptive radiations; and iv) brain allometry in miniaturized arthropods.
For more than 10 years I have been developing nocturnal sweat bees, Megalopta, as non-traditional model organisms for the study of the evolution of social behavior. Halictidae is one of the few taxon of bees in which both solitary and social behavior occurs in closely related species (or within one species). Thus, they provide numerous opportunities for comparisons with well-known social insects (e.g., honeybees, ants). Megalopta is the most speciose taxon of nocturnal bees, comprised of about 30 species, including brood parasitic ("cuckoo") species. They are facultatively social, so traits of interest can be evaluated in solitary bees, social dominants, and social subordinates. Extensive biological information is already available to provide a comparative framework for genomic projects, including the bases for dominance behaviors and social competition; reproductive physiology including relationships between ovarian size, juvenile hormone titers, vitellogenin titers; the relationships between social role and body size, brain size, or resource availability; parasite pressure and the expression of social behavior; social benefits that accrue from symbiotic associations with nematodes, mites, and bacteria within brood cells. A phylogeny is available, as are other tools, such as microsatellite markers and an EST library used to construct a DNA microarray. Recent collaborators include Adam Smith, Karen Kapheim, Simon Tierney, Natalia Biani, Ulrich Mueller, Quinn McFrederick, Kate Ihle, Rob Page, Gro Amdam, Collin Brent, Andres Quinones, among others.
Invasion of a new niche requires a change in behavior that invariably establishes new selection pressures. To understand the causes and consequences of such shifts we study the visual ecology of nocturnal bees because relevant environmental features are easily measured (photon number). To date most studies have focussed on visually-guided behavior, neurophysiology and neuroanatomy. Collaborators include Eric Warrant, Rick Berry, Emily Baird.
About five years ago I set up a modern neurobiology laboratory to pioneer studies using evolutionary patterns in arthropods to understand rules of brain scaling in minute taxa, and to understand how miniaturized taxa accommodate relatively large brains. We are also interested in the behavioral consequences of brain miniaturization, which currently involves work on learning in bees. Current collaborators include Andre Riveros, Gloria Vargas and Bill Eberhard.
STRI is the world's center for field-based research on the biology of fungus-growing ants. Done in collaboration with fellows, Smithsonian staff, and visiting scientists, there are numerous opportunities to ask questions about the evolution of social complexity, the evolution of mutualistic consortia (ant + fungi vs. plant + endophytic fungi), and the evolution of public health systems in non-human societies. In collaboration with anthropologists at Arizona State University, we are beginning comparative work to explicitly address parallels between public health systems of insect societies and indigenous human societies. As part of a collaborative effort with colleagues at the National Museum of Natural History, the University of Copenhagen, and the Beijing Genomics Institute, genomes will be available for all representatives of the higher attines. Collaborators include Sunshine Van Bael, Catalina Estrada, Hermogenes Fernandez, Hubert Herz, Ted Schultz, Sean Brady, Koos Boomsma, Ulrich Mueller, Kim Hill, Magdalena Hurtado, and Juergen Liebig, among others.

Tuesday, county supervisors voted to cancel one agency's contract while increasing oversight of children in foster care.
L.A. County says it will now inspect every child in foster care. This comes after the death of 2-year-old Viola Vanclief, who allegedly was beaten to death with a hammer while in the care of foster parents on March 4.
Supervisors cancelled the contract of United Care Incorporated, the foster care agency that placed Vanclief in that home.
Viola Vanclief was placed by United Care in the home of 30-year-old Kiana Barker.
Craig Woods, the executive director of United Care, says even though Barker has a criminal history, she was approved by the state after a background check.
Woods says investigators never found evidence that Barker's boyfriend, James Julian, a convicted felon, was also living in the home.
"Our foster parent, when confronted with the question of whether or not Mr. Julian was residing in the home, stated very adamantly and directly to us that he was not. And we had her sign a statement attesting to that," said Woods Tuesday.
Woods admitted his workers made errors.
The Department of Children and Family Services wants to inspect 57 other foster homes in the county in just one month.
"I will be sending all of my social workers out to see each child that's in one of the FFA homes. There are over 5,000 children in those homes," said Patricia Ploehn, director of the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services.
That works out to about 160 children per day.
Woods says with limited resources that simply won't be possible. He says punishing his company won't solve the issue.
"The focus is not on the broader problem: Why are so many kids dying? That's what we need to be focusing our attention on," said Woods.
And separately the state is now changing the rules for foster care providers. Starting Saturday, a provider may only house a maximum of six children altogether. Officials say that should improve the quality of care and eliminate people who take on extra children to make money.

I have dabbled and discovered that "dynamic view" is not just a template design for a blog, but it's got different coding that allows you to alter how it shows up, on the fly, in a bunch of different ways. I'm not nearly so 'savvy' or picture-oriented as to need a template that makes my blog show up like a twitter feed or pinterest page. As it turns out, having 'dynamic view' might be the reason that I've had trouble with page breaks and with making post limits per page. As you may notice, every post will show up on one single page, if you keep scrolling down far enough.
I'm going to experiment with different templates soon until I find one that lets me utilize page jumps, so that it'll be easier to scroll the blog. And hopefully I'll finally be able to put up a sidebar.
Stay tuned!

My deer rifle is a 30-06. It's the same calibre that Tom Waits sang about in his song "16 shells from a thirty-ought-six".
The designation 30-06 means that it uses a 0.30 inch calibre bullet and it was first manufactured in 1906. A hundred years ago apparently it was common for the number "zero" to be referred to as "ought", hence the "ought-six".
Of course the use of "ought" is a misnomer; a more proper term for zero would be "naught". However I can't imagine referring to my rifle as a "thirty-naught-six".
And of course there's the question of which decade followed the nineties. Most would agree that the eighties were followed by the nineties, but are we now in the oughts, the naughts, or some other decade? Maybe the zilches?

I know it's way past christmas now and everyone has tucked away the decorations and the gifts they received this year, but I am kind of stuck on how I haven't received a gift. My husband bought me the ring I wanted, but it was way too small and had to be returned. We were going to get a different one, but now money is so tight that I don't think he is going to order it after all or try to find me anything different.
I feel bad that I worked hard on his gifts and in the end, I've gotten nothing. Not even a card. Am I wrong here? I'm having a hard time just letting this one go…

Walt Whitman is my favorite poet. He wrote my favorite book, Leaves of Grass. The name of this site, many of the tabs, many of the jumps, are all taken from "Song of Myself".
Walt Whitman is the reason I want to become a poet.
If people have never read him, they need to. I am such a fan that I can barely talk coherently about him without babbling incessantly.
So.. do yourself a favor. Follow this link and read him. Just do it with an open mind, when you have a moment.
If you don't feel something… I will be surprised.
