I grew up in the mission at Woorabinda, where we were distracted from thinking about our culture with lots of activities, from dancing to rodeo to boxing. By my early teens the superintendent let some slack in the rope though, and we were allowed out on weekends to train in bushtucker and hunt down a roo or porcupine to feed the community. I wanted to be a carpenter so I could build a proper home for my grandparents, but you followed your father into work in those days and he was a stockman.
I didn't like working on cattle properties at first but it made me respect the countryside. After running away a couple of times, I got a taste for freedom and joined a boxing troupe travelling round Queensland and New South Wales.
When I returned home at the age of 18 I met members of my father's family who I hadn't known and started to settle down, fell in love, had children. Having my own children made me want to get back on to country so I could answer their questions about their ancestry.
I was working as a police liaison officer when I met Bernie Singleton, an Aboriginal relics ranger locating and recording things like scarred trees and sacred sites. He asked if I'd be interested in similar work and I said 'Bloody oath I am'. I was quite a dunce back then, hard of learning, but I had experience of travel and working out bush so I got the job. After working in Brisbane, Rockhampton and Mount Isa, often meeting with the local indigenous people to exchange knowledge, I found myself in Injune in the late 1980s when our funding got cut. Fortunately, I was offered the opportunity to continue in a new role at Carnarvon National Park. I've been there, on and off, for the past 30 years.
The first time I saw the Art Gallery in Carnarvon Gorge, as for anyone from my community, it was an eye opener. As I considered the significance of the images the words of my mother's brother came flooding back to me – he had tried to teach me about the gorge in language when I was a kid. I didn't know what to expect as an interpretative ranger at first, but visitors just started asking me questions and we got a conversation going. I'm there to make sure people aren't defacing rock art or stealing plants and instead they start following me on my rounds, sometimes I feel like the pied piper. Graffiti has been a problem in the gorge since the 1920s but being present in uniform, and on the radio, makes offenders think twice.
To see what my ancestors captured on the walls of the gorge gives me great pride. They would mix ochre with water and goanna fat, the most penetrating kind of fat, to paint into the absorbent sandstone. To have captured our dreamtime this way around 2,500 years ago with a bark paintbrush or by freehand drawing is the greatest achievement of all, especially when compared with today's blink-and-you-miss culture of iPhone photos. Carnarvon was a birthing and burial site so some of the drawings tell where loved ones were buried, though the remains were removed for scientific testing many years ago. The Bidgera people, my people, believe the rainbow serpent (mundah garrah) created the gorge for us and protects the permanency of waters. When I meet young people who have barely been beyond the shopping centre, I see they're lost. I started mentoring young Bidgera and Karngbal people some years ago and before we head out bush I tell them to put their packed lunches and water bottles back in the fridge. I get them thinking about how they could survive in the bush and pass on the things my grandparents and uncle taught me. Often, about five months after they've visited, I'll get a message saying 'thank-you, I remembered what this or that plant is, you helped me know my culture'. The bush is one of the best educational places there is, and I'm going to keep drumming that into my own grandchildren.
I officially retired in April and just turned 70, but I'm not finished with the gorge. I live in Duaringa so it's not hard to get back and I'll return whenever I'm called upon. Bernice Sigley, the ranger in charge when I started at Carnarvon, is the lady who inspired it all. I was named an honorary protector under the Nature Conservation Act earlier this year, so when I was called to Brisbane in June I thought that was the reason. When I saw Bernice in the audience and she explained I was one of five people to be named a Queensland Great, I was dumfounded. To come from Woorabinda and achieve what I have, I feel like it's for the whole community, and for all the people that have visited the park and asked me questions over the years. Every visitor to the gorge makes me a proud man, knowing that the little bit of knowledge I have of my culture isn't going to be lost.

BEND, Ore. (AP) – The Sunriver police chief has been placed on paid administrative leave.
The Bulletin reports the Sunriver Service District Managing Board placed Police Chief Marc Mills on paid administrative leave Sunday.
The board has not disclosed what led to the decision, but Board Administrator Debra Baker says an investigation is ongoing.
The board appointed Mills to the position in May 2012 after it fired former police chief Michael Kennedy for being poorly suited to manage a planned expansion of public relations efforts.
Bend Police will send Capt. Cory Darling to fill in as interim Sunriver police chief for a short term.

Spring Training Miscellany: Cubs 7 and 4, Diamondbacks 5, Dodgers 3
In case the title is unclear (I'm not saying it's intentionally obtuse because it tickles me, but I'm not not saying it), the Cubs swept their split squad games today against the Diamondbacks and Dodgers. Carlos Zambrano had another solid outing, Starlin Castro continues to destroy the ball, and Koyie Hill went back to his hitless ways. All is right with the world…
- Braden Looper was just so-so in his latest start. He managed just 3.2 innings, giving up five hits and striking out two. He allowed just one earned run, though.
- As for the bullpen competition, Scott Maine had his first really rough outing, allowing four baserunners and three runs (two earned) in one inning of work. I'd say he still has the inside track on a bullpen spot, but he'll need to bounce back.
- Jeffs Samardzija and Stevens split two innings of work, with the latter going 1.1 and bailing out the former. That's right – Jeff Samardzija struggled again today, walking two (and striking out two) and failing to finish out his inning of work.
- Theoretical-but-probably-not-actual bullpen competitors like Jay Jackson, Kyle Smit, Scott Rice, and Chris Carpenter also saw work today, but none was sufficiently terrible or great to merit discussion.
- Fernando Perez and Reed Johnson once again both got starts, though Johnson played just a half game. Perez walked twice in five plate appearances, and Johnson went 0-2. You've got to believe Perez has an ever-so-slight lead in their battle to win the 5th outfielder job, if not for his performance, then for his speed.
- The other positional battle – middle infield backup – was once again a non-battle, as Darwin Barney started and played a near full game (1-4) while Augie Ojeda did not make an appearance. Were I like, you know, a real journalist, my first question for Mike Quade today would be, "what's up with Augie? Is he hurt?"
- As for second base: Blake DeWitt went 1-3, and Jeff Baker went 2-2 with a game-winning single. Moreover, and I hate using non-substantive indicators like this, DeWitt simply doesn't look very good at the plate right now. If he's going to get the bulk of the starts against righties to start the season, he better be batting 8th.
- Hey, hey: football signee Matt Szczur made an appearance today! But, er, he went 0-1.

The power LED connector from my case is 3 pins wide (+, -, and a blank one inbetween) but my motherboard only has 2 pins for the power LED. If I connect it, it uses one of the pins for the power switch, which is obviously a problem.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Many thanks

Keil have announced the availability of the Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK-ARM) v3.50. The MDK-ARM v3.50 development tool, available from Embedded Logic Solutions , supports the ARM Cortex-M0 processor, the Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) and includes new device and simulation support.
The Cortex-M0 processor is ARM's small, low power processor and is the third member of the Cortex-M processor family. The Cortex-M0 processor's Thumb instruction set, along with MDK Cortex-M0 MicroLib library, enables high code density, which is important for embedded applications with memory size restrictions.
ARM have introduced the Cortex Microcontroller software interface standard hardware abstraction layer, which defines a consistent and simple software interface to the processor, enabling code reuse and sharing between projects, and reducing time-to-market.
The MDK v3.50 is a development tool and is CMSIS-compliant. It includes example projects with processor and device header files structured according to the CMSIS convention. This enables developers to migrate application software between Cortex-M processor-based devices. Developers can begin development on a Cortex-M0 processor-based device, taking advantage of its low cost and power consumption. If higher performance is required, the same project can be migrated to a Cortex-M3 processor-based device.
Device and simulation support includes the advanced Cortex-M3 processor-based devices from NXP, STMicroelectronics and Toshiba. The MDK v3.50 development tool now supports the Toshiba TMPM330, NXP LPC1700 and STMicroelectronics STM32E families of devices. Example projects and templates are included to help developers get started on their next project using one of these devices.
Keil have partnered with Atmel to develop simulation support for the Atmel AT91 software package v1.5. The package includes examples for the AT91SAM family of ARM7 and ARM9 family-based devices, which can be run using the MDK v3.50 extended device simulation or on an Atmel evaluation board.

You'll need a centerpiece for your reception and buffet tables, something to mark the pews, and that extra touch to dress up the venues. Here are a few simple and beautiful decorations you can make to cover your bases:
Pew Bows
For this pretty marker, you will need the following supplies:
- Satin twist ribbon
- Satin ribbon
- Silk ivy and flowers
- White cloth-wrapped wire
- Over-the-door wreath hangers
- Raffia ribbon
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
Cut the satin ribbon in two pieces of three feet each, finishing each end with a "V". Fold the pieces in half, grasp them at the fold, and then pile them together with the loops, tying everything with wire. This is your ribbon base.
Make a bow out of the raffia ribbon and glue it to the base. Curl the ends with scissors. Add flowers and ivy trails. Glue the bow to the top of an over-the-door wreath hanger, and use this to hang it on the pew.
Candle Wreath Centerpiece
This elegant wreath is made with a three-wick candle and fresh roses or the flowers of your choice. You will also need a floral foam wreath, some U shaped pins, decorative moss and greens.
- Cut your flowers to 2-3 inches and set in water mixed with floral solution.
- Set the floral foam to soak in water.
- When the water has absorbed, cover it with moss and secure with pins.
- Stick the flowers into the foam in an organic arrangement.
- Fill any holes with greens and tie a bow onto your arrangement.
- Set a three-wick candle in the center of the wreath. Note: The candle must be tall enough to keep the flame from reaching the wreath.
An ideal addition to an outdoor wedding, this magical tent encloses the wedding cake and gifts. You will need:
- Market umbrella and umbrella stand with stakes or a weighted base
- 60 yards of cheesecloth
- 3-4 strands of miniature white lights
- Two white plaster pedestals
- 17 yards of white twill tape
- Stem wire
- Silk flowers
Create a continuous swag of cheesecloth to hang across the edge of the umbrella by gathering lengths one foot longer than the distance between the spines and tying each drape with stem wire. Leave a tail on the wire to tie to each spine. When the swag is hung, wire silk flowers to the peak of each swag.
Use the pedestals to create the columns of a doorway, and drape the cheesecloth panels hanging between them over the pedestals. Hold them in place with a flower arrangement on each pedestal. Wind the white lights around the umbrella pole and then string across spines, securing with stem wire. Use a remaining yard or two of cheesecloth to wrap around the lights on the pole, letting them shine through. Place a round covered table in the center for the wedding cake, add a taper on each side, and admire!

There appears to be a split as to how Arsenal are set to progress with their possible transfer of Liverpool's Luis Suarez. Some papers are saying that Arsenal are readying a third bid, while others hint that Wenger might wait until towards the end of August before making the key move for the player.
The third option though is that Arsenal will miss out on their target and there are many Arsenal fans who won't be too concerned if Wenger does start to look elsewhere.
The big issue for Arsenal though is that so many of their potential targets have already moved on. Higuain, Bony, Cavani, Jovetic are all gone. Arsenal also face the added problems of a Bale-less Spurs with a huge war chest to spend too.
Who then could the Gunners line up as that much discussed marquee signing?
Robert Lewandowski – Well the Pole has a year left on his contract at Dortmund and it seems very unlikely that he will be going anywhere apart from Bayern come this time next year. Unless.. Arsenal weigh in with a mega bid. It might tempt Dortmund, but will the player fancy it…
Michu – This is another unlikely one. He would be relatively inexpensive (well less than £25 million) has lots of Premiership experience and would be a hit with the fans. But he is probably too similar to Olivier Giroud to tempt Wenger. Besides I think Swansea would quite rightly fight tooth and nail to keep him.
Alexis Sanchez – A couple of sites are already linking Arsenal with Barca's Alexis Sanchez. The theory being that Neymar's arrival might push him off the team sheet. The down side with Sanchez is his rather poor form since his signing in 2011. 26 goals in 87 appearances isn't much of return in a fairly easy league when your team are way superior to almost all their rivals. He would also be pricey. Barca paid £30 million for him to grab him from Udinese. They would probably want something approaching that figure before letting him go.
Stephan El Shaarawy – A great prospect but would Milan let him go? Unlikely. It would have to be a mega bid to get their attention. He has been linked with Arsenal before.
Chuba Akpom/Yaya Sanogo – In other words, spend some of the cash on Fellaini and a creative midfielder and see what the youngsters are made of. Not a policy that will please too many fans though…

Built on mountains, Hong Kong is a city with few open, sprawling, forever expanses of flat greenness.
Public parks here are just different than in the States. Just different. This also means that hobby gardening is sporadic. So, when you find someone willing to dig their own dirt and haul it from the boarders of China up to the fifth floor roof-top garden of their studio's building. You go see it.
Hello HK Farm.
It's cute. It's small. It's organic. And it also hosts the Chinese bees associated with HK Honey. Remember the candle making workshop we enjoyed some months back? This visit to HK Farm included a blue print, or Cyanotype, art/bag making workshop, hosted by Martin Cheung of Shanghai Street Studios. (Love these guys.)
Using a non-toxic mix of special mumbo-jumbo crystals and the sun — we had fun among the bees.

Debunking the Myth That It Costs Money to Reduce Emissions
As we face the dual challenges of a faltering economy and a changing climate, the time is ripe to reexamine our common presumptions about the economics of reducing carbon emissions. How many times have you heard people say that you can't really do much about climate change? Or that reducing emissions means spending more money? Wrong on both counts -- the numbers tell an altogether different story. With minimum effort, the typical American can shrink his or her carbon footprint by a third and simultaneously save $2500 over the course of a year.
The average American's footprint today is 28.2 tons and growing. Roughly a sixth comes from shelter, another quarter comes from transportation, and the rest comes from producing, distributing, and disposing of all the stuff we buy. Some comes from government services too, but it is canceled out by carbon absorbed by shared forests.
Unlike other energy conservation programs, these 10 "Shrink & Save" tips are doable by most anyone and place a realistic number on each action's financial and environmental benefits. Complex calculations using data from the Environmental Protection Agency, Energy Information Administration, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and other authoritative sources yield dollars and pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent saved. The tips are not ground-breaking in and of themselves, but what is eye-opening is the cumulative effect on emissions and personal savings. In order of impact:
1. Use it up, wear it out, make it do, do without: Save $564 & 2902 lbs
This depression-era slogan is just as apropos now as it was then. Ask yourself if you really need to buy that new stuff. Visit Craigslist, Freecycle, the library, or local consignment shops to buy needed items at little to no cost or to trade in items you no longer need. Donate household goods, toys, sporting or garden equipment, and clothing to thrift shops, community centers, or other charities.
2. Drive the car -- don't let the car drive you: Save $385 & 2822 lbs
EPA vehicle fuel economy statistics belie the reality that cars are remarkably flexible machines. You'll surprise yourself with gas mileage improvements and savings at the pump if you:
- Drive smoothly. Use cruise control even on short treks and avoid rapid acceleration and braking.
- Keep tires inflated to improve fuel economy and lengthen tire life.
- Avoid idling. Restarting your car uses less gas than idling.
- Watch your speed. Above 55 mph, aerodynamic drag starts reducing your mileage.
3. Not all flights are created equal: Save $347 & 2492 lbs
Keeping your feet on the ground reduces emissions the most. Which plane you board matters too:
- Choose direct, non-stop flights. Extra liftoffs burn extra fuel.
- Fly economy class. The bigger your seat, the bigger your share of the airplane's emissions.
- Book daytime flights. Jet contrails trap more heat at night than during the day.
- Pick newer planes with better fuel efficiency.

4. The dirt on clean laundry: Save $287 & 3211 lbs
Washing and drying the weekly eight loads of laundry of the average American household comes with a hefty financial and environmental price tag. If you wash just half of those eight loads with cold water and hang them to dry, your clothes will last longer and you'll cut your energy use and utility bill.
5. Eating meat should be a treat: Save $285 & 1107 lbs
Meat is the least climate-friendly of the food groups. Producing one calorie of meat takes many calories of animal feed, and cows' burping and farting produces methane gas. But you don't have to become a Tofurkey-eating vegetarian to make an environment impact -- just limiting meat to 3 times a week will make a big impact.
6. Working isn't always fun, but getting there should be: Save $276 & 1177 lbs
It's easy -- almost too easy -- to fall into a solitary commuting routine and become complacent about commuting impact. Just two days a week, commit to telecommuting, taking public transportation, or carpooling with a co-worker or neighbor.
7. Go with the flow: Save $194 & 2123 lbs
Heated shower water ends up down the drain. Short of installing a drain heat recovery system, your best bet is to reduce water use is shorter showers. Next best is installing inexpensive low-flow shower heads that use half the water of their profligate counterparts.
8. A Bright Idea: Save $188 & 1429 lbs
The compact fluorescent bulb is an often-touted energy-saving tip. And for good reason: CFLs (and uber-modern LEDs) use much less electricity and last longer than incandescents. Outfit your home with efficient bulbs and remember to turn off the lights when you're not around.
9. Intelligent heating and cooling: Save $131 & 1413 lbs
Install a programmable thermostat to avoid heating or cooling your empty house while you're at work or asleep. Punch in those numbers, sit back, and watch the money roll in.
10. Power down: Save $64 & 743 lb
Electronic gadgets and appliances may look innocuous, but the combined force of their electric draw, even when they're "off," is not. With a bit of conscious power management, you can prolong the life of electronics and slash emissions impact:
- Use power strips. Flipping a single switch to shut off entertainment and office equipment stops phantom draw.
- Use power management settings. Set your computer to sleep after a few minutes and turn it off for longer periods.
- Unplug vampire chargers. Power cords for cell phones, computers, and cameras quietly suck power even when they're not charging.
Add it up. Roundly debunking the myths that one person can't make a difference or that it costs money to reduce emissions, these 10 tips increase personal savings by $2501 a year and trim the average American's footprint by 19,419 pounds of CO2 (34% reduction). The annual emissions reductions of one person are equivalent to powering 1.2 homes with clean electricity for a year or replacing three cars with Priuses.
If just one person can have that impact with a minimum amount of effort, just imagine what the power of the community can do.
Patti Prairie added Treehugger to her distinguished 30-year career-spanning resume when she became Chief Executive Officer of Brighter Planet. This innovative company has a socially responsibly mission: to help people manage their environmental footprint. With its practical, carbon emission reducing solutions, Brighter Planet is committed to making it easier for anyone to get involved in the fight against climate change.

Deco Lamp. Saturday , February 03rd , 2018 - 19:18:26 PM
Exactly what are art-deco lights? Art-deco lighting occurred during the beginning of the 20th century and subsequently grew to become extremely popular thereafter. These types of fashionable lamps used to be famously recognized for the architectural appeal to the design and geometric angular shapes. Nearly all of the lamps were made of chrome as this metal happened to be the novelty at the point in time. The usage of glasswork had been brilliant - a number of sandblasted, some etched, and some enameled glasses make these types of lights unique as well as exquisite! These types of art-deco antiques are nowadays still some of the most beautiful works of art form available on the market.
When you enter any house, you immediately get a feel about that house. Especially art lovers will agree with me that lights form an integral part of home decoration and the home interiors are incomplete without the inclusion of antique lighting! The antique lights add a special ambiance and elegance to the house and make the house have an extra edge over others. Just one has to make sure to use perfect lights for a particular theme of the house. You may even consult and expert before doing lighting arrangement for your house so that there are no hassles later.
There are various types of antique lights that resemble the shape and designs of different ages. So, you will never run short of the options anyway. However, the only problem in this regard seems to be that you have to make the choice judiciously. You will come across an infinite variety of chandeliers, ceiling lights, and so on and you have to pick up the one that suits the style of your house. In this regard, the size and length of these lights can be very important. Ideally, you should be looking for models that will fit in the space available in your house.

A dog door for screen doors is nice to have during the warmer months when your dog wants to enjoy the shade of the patio as well as the outdoors throughout the day! Most dog doors for screen doors are made for pets smaller than 30 pounds because they are mounted in the center of the screen area of your house door, sliding screen doors or window and do not utilize the door or window frame for support. America's Pet Store would recommend limiting use of this type of screen dog door to cats and small dogs. If you have a medium to large size dog, Hale manufactures a nice line of large dog doors for screen doors.
A large or more active dog would easily destroy most small screen dog doors, since they have little support from the screen door. America's Pet Store sells two models of this less expensive type of pet screen door. They are the PetSafe Pet Screen Door and the Ideal Pet Passage.
Hale Security Pet Door, the manufacturer of a wide variety of pet doors, manufacturers an extensive line of dog doors for screen doors for all sizes of dogs including large dogs! The reason why Hale's line of dog doors for screen doors can be used with large dogs is because the Hale line uses two sides of the screen door or window frame to mount the dog door. This gives the dog screen door significantly more durability and support.
Additionally, for all large dog doors for screens, Hale also recommends using a stabilizer bar placed at the top of the dog screen door. This will give stability on three sides of the dog door. You can purchase this stabilizer bar separately or with the purchase of any dog door for screen doors at America's Pet Store. Be sure to note that since a Hale pet screen door sits right on top of the house door frame, you must purchase a taller dog screen door than you would otherwise because the door will probably be sitting closer to the floor in this configuration than it would if you could mount the dog door based on the height of the dog's legs.
Dog Doors for screen doors have many uses, and can also be installed in screened windows between the kitchen and patio as a food and drink pass-through! These pet doors can also be mounted as dog doors for sliding screen doors. Can you come up with innovative uses for dog doors for screens? If so, we want to hear about it. Please email customer service with your unique ideas about how you use a pet door for screen doors. If you are looking for a doggie door and you have patio doors, America's Pet Store recommends reviewing our selection of dog doors for sliding glass doors. These pet doors are easy to install and there is no need to cut any holes in your doors or walls. America's Pet Store also carries electronic dog doors for sliding glass doors which are helpful if you have multiple pets of varying sizes.
America's Pet Store carries the full line of pet doors for screen doors. If you have any questions about how these products will work for your application, please feel free to contact customer service at 1-800-870-1941 and ask for assistance.
We also carry many other styles of doggy doors including automatic dog doors, infrared dog doors, and extra big dog doors for giant breeds such as dobermans, rottweilers, or saint bernards. Most of our patio door dog doors, which are the same as sliding glass dog doors do not require professional installation. In general, patio dog doors are very simple to install for just about anyone.
Check out our other doggie door styles and brands such as PetSafe dog doors, Ideal dog doors, Ruff Weather dog doors), Hale dog doors, Staywell dog doors, Plexidor dog doors, and Endura flap dog doors made by Patio Pacific.

This film could be considered as a synthesis of the 'How to Screw the CIA' series. It is formally based on the permutative loop structure, superimposing a series of three pairs of image loops of different lengths with each other. The images include elements from all the previous parts of the series. The film sequences which make up loops, are again chosen for their combination of semantic relationships, and abstract factors of movement. The soundtrack is constructed for the film, but independently, and has a similar loop structure. Part of SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT.

Wouldn't it be great if you could have the Zombies open up for the Beach Boys in your basement? That's, of course, an impossible dream -- but the Whitsundays at least create a similar vibe. There's been an avalanche of bands worshipping at the throne of Brian Wilson these past two decades, but every pop group with harmonies lazily gets thrown into this bag. Most of these bands explore (or exploit) Wilson's sunny side, forgetting about his dark awkwardness.
The Whitsundays completely deliver on dreamy melodies, "buh-buh-buh" choruses, and lyrics about lost love and chasing the sun. But things really get interesting via the dark and unexpected breakdowns that come at the end of some of these seemingly innocent pop songs. 'Want It All" is a sad sleeper about lovers living in a different time periods and sharing a different chemistry, even as the tune erupts into perfectly lush swirls of harmony. "Already Gone" exemplifies the band's sinister ways with the lyrics "I've always loved the sun, second to the moon."
Singer Paul Arnusch leads the Whits, utilizing ghostly vocals that are never over-powered by the group's bare-boned guitars. Even though the vocals are what draw the listener in, the real pulse here comes from the keyboards and Rhodes solos. A most intriguing debut.

TYSONS CORNERS (WWBT)- We expected this debate to be explosive, and it delivered. Both candidates zeroed in on one specific weakness in their opponent. For Terry McAuliffe it was whether he is ready to be governor. For Ken Cuccinelli it was his standing with female voters.
Both Cuccinelli and Mcauliffe entered the Capital One building in Fairfax ready to fight.
"Folks, governor is not a good entry-level job," Cuccinelli said of McAuliffe's lack of experience.
"Frankly, I think Virginia women have had just about enough of Ken Cuccinelli's experience," McAuliffe said about the Attorney General's record on women's issues.
And that is the way the hour went, Cuccinelli accusing McAuliffe of being a slick hustler without a deep understanding of the way Richmond operates.
"He can talk at this topline level like anybody could if they read a few talking points," Cuccinelli said. "But he doesn't know how Virginia government works."
Mcauliffe countered, charging Cuccinelli is most concerned about driving a social ideology.
"He sponsored personhood legislation that would outlaw most forms of contraception, would make the pill illegal," McAuliffe said. A charge Cuccinelli rejects.
But both were forced into a defensive posture by moderator Chuck Todd- who showed McAuliffe doesn't know how much his lofty budget plans will cost.
"There's no-- there's no cost to it," Todd said. "You don't have a number?
"This is why it's important," McAuliffe responded. "Determine first how much you have."
And Cuccinelli's was pressed to separate from Texas senator Ted Cruz's filibuster to tie Obamacare's defunding to a government shutdown.
"So you don't agree with what he is doing?" Todd asked of the Cruz effort. To which Cuccinelli replied "I'd like to see Obamacare pulled out of federal law, but you've got to find compromise as we get the budget."
A showdown that taught is quite a bit about these two candidates- with an election now just 40 days away.
Only one more debate is scheduled for October in Roanoke.
That could include the libertarian Robert Sarvis, who is polling as high as 10%, but was not included Wednesday night.
**NOTE** If you'd like to see the debate in it's entirety it is featured on CSPAN's website.

THE hardy souls of Accrington must be licking their lips at the prospect of entertaining Town at the moment.
Five straight away defeats is hardly ideal preparation for Peter Jackson's side going into what promises to be a ferocious televised drama at the uninviting Crown Ground.
Worse still, Town were a defensive shambles for a good 35 minutes at a greasy Brunton Park last night and the watching Stanley scout will be winding up their strikers for the kill in Sunday's showdown.
Goals by on-loan Steve Schumacher after three minutes and the speedy BrianWake on 14 gave struggling Carlisle the confidence to extend what is the best record of any club in the LDV and condemn Town to another miserable motorway journey home.
Last year's finalists, buoyed by a rare lead en route to only a third win of the season, looked far better than their League position would suggest and it wasn't until the axed Efe Sodje was re-introduced as a substitute four minutes from half time that Town showed anything like the necessary urgency.
This was supposed to be Town's opportunity to forget the events of Lincoln, Yeovil, Reading and Scunthorpe and give themselves a welcome on-road fillip ahead of the FA Cup first round trip across the Pennines.
As one of the fancied northern section contenders for a place in the Millennium Stadium final, too, this was supposed to be a comfortable first step against opposition vanquished 2-1 in the League just 10 days previously at the McAlpine.
Neither came about because of Carlisle's stunning start and spirited second-half resistance, while Town's possession and chances came to nothing on the back of poor finishing and yet more brilliant keeping from Matty Glennon, who was the star of the Division III show at the McAlpine.
Many of Town's most promising attacks petered out, too, because the final cross or pass was too close to the six-yard line - and that was most definitely the impressive Glennon's territory.
From the very first minute, Town seemed undermined by a slip from Paul Scott which allowed Schumacher clean through, and only the fingertips of Ian Gray prevented Carlisle taking the lead before any of his colleagues in black had touched the ball.
From the resulting corner, battling Darren Kelly had a shot booted from near the line but Town's relief lasted barely 90 seconds as Craig Farrell - a constant thorn with his pace - found Schumacher unmarked with a right-wing cross and the Everton youngster did the rest with a header off the underside of the bar.
It was the signal for a heavy spell of home pressure which knocked Town completely out of their stride.
Gray had to be alert to keep out Wake, Brian Shelley powered forward for a shot and the lively Brendan McGill sent a crunching drive inches wide.
It was no surprise, really, when Town were caught flat when losing possession in the 14th minute and Farrell sent Wake through to beat Gray with a cleverly chipped shot from the edge of the area.
At that point, Town were under the cosh and looking vulnerable to every attack, which is hardly what you want to see as manager when you've changed four of the back five personnel and put six new names into your starting line-up.
Crazily, Jonathan Stead had a great chance to pull one back for Town with a 10-yard left-foot shot on the turn when Glennon was the only man to beat, but he fired wildly over the bar in a moment which came to sum up Town's night overall.
Stead tried his luck with two 20-yard shots and a bicycle kick as Town recovered some composure before the break and they seemed more determined into the challenge and smarter in the pass in the second period, prompted by Sodje and energetic wing-backs Andy Holdsworth and Anthony Lloyd.
Carlisle, who were lucky to see Kelly escape with only a yellow when handling to stop Stead going clear, had to rely on Chris Billy's excellent holding play and their only decent chance of extending the lead was denied by Gray's low grab from Wake.
The indication it wasn't going to be Town's night, however, came on 52 minutes when Schofield was freed by Chris Holland only eight yards out but, instead of going for goal, he tried a square pass to the startled Booth and the opening was gone.
Town continued to press forward with Stead seeing a low shot well saved and Scott having a free header deflected wide, while Booth was similarly blocked before planting the sort of header wide which he normally scores for fun.
It was left to Glennon to finally complete Town's anguish with a brilliant close-range double save from Schofield and Booth when the prospect of `silver goal' extra-time might still have become reality.
One crumb of consolation: at least Town can play in blue and white stripes against the reds of Accrington and bin the black kit which has yet to inspire a victory this term.
Town Form (3-5-2)
Ian Gray Made a brilliant save from McGill in the opening attack but could do little with either of the goals Rating: 4/10
Andy Holdsworth Planted too many crosses too close to the keeper, but was always willing to push forward and never gave up trying to probe Rating: 6/10
Anthony Lloyd Enthusiastic despite the back line's shaky start and wasn't frightened to get in the box when Town attacked Rating: 5/10
David Mirfin Not the best of returns for the talented teenager, who hadn't started since the last away win at Southend Rating: 4/10
Ian Hughes Town were 2-0 down before he could settle the troops. Fortunate to by only booked for a bad foul on Farrell Rating: 4/10
Paul Scott Made a couple of telling slips in an uneasy return to the starting line-up and also missed a good heading chance Rating: 4/10
Chris Holland Making his first start of the season and played one or two dangerous passes, but unable to find the key for Town Rating: 4/10
Jon Worthington Covered plenty of ground and tried to get Town going in the first half, pressing forward in some promising but failed raids Rating: 4/10
Danny Schofield Failed to shoot when clean through on 58 minutes, when a goal would have put the tie back in the melting pot Rating: 4/10
Andy Booth Planted a late header wide, but all the service intended for him was too near to the keeper and he snaffled it up Rating: 4/10
Jon Stead Missed the target with two first-half efforts and saw a second half shot well smothered on the deck by Glennon Rating: 4/10
Carlisle United
Glennon, Shelley, Kelly, Billy, Livingstone (Jack HT), Andrews, McDonagh, Wake, Farrell, McGill, Schumacher (Russell 67).
Subs not used: Rundle,. Molloy, Keen.
Andy Holdsworth
Missed the range with one or two crosses but he was always available to colleagues, pushing forward down the right and eventually coming to terms with the threat of Brian Shelley, who was eager to raid down the left for Carlisle. Good show on a difficult night.
If Town were going to salvage something after a terrible start, they needed a goal in the early stages of the second half. The best opportunity fell to Schofield who, for some reason, failed to shoot and squared a wasted cross

Sings Gordon Lightfoot
When Gordon Lightfoot's music first blew down from Canada in the mid-'60s, it hit American folk and country music like some clean prairie wind. It must have been a similar feeling when bluegrass fans first heard the guitar of Tony Rice. Tony calls Lightfoot his favorite songwriter and has in turn become Lightfoot's finest interpreter, always including his tunes in shows and albums. Finally, after years of clamoring by fans and friends, here is the full Rice/Lightfoot collection in one compelling package, proving that no one understands Lightfoot's magnetic mix of drive, melodic grace and naturalistic verse better than Tony Rice. –from the notes by Scott Alarik All of these recordings are previously issued except "Whispers of the North."

Cuffing season might be over, but sensuality is never out of style. RCA Records' Tinashe has that sensuality in spades. Ekali tapped into that sensuality with his new remix of her Drake cover, "Days In The West." This track features a lot of modern production between the deep horns and the cheesy bedsqueaks but it's done very tastefully that it's forgivable. No this isn't some beautiful masterpiece, but this is definitely something for that special playlist for this summer and worth every bit of bandwidth. Put this on for that summer fling and get sensual with it.

Apple's gay CEO slams Indiana, opens stores in Saudi Arabia
In what Indiana's governor and his supporters describe as defense of any given individual's religious convictions, detractors roundly decry as blatant discrimination against the LGBT community. Possibly the best explanation of Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) rendered down to two sentences would be that as reported by CBS News on March 30, 2015, "Supporters say it protects a person or business owner from government persecution when following their religious beliefs. But opponents say the measure gives businesses a free pass to refuse gay and lesbian customers on religious grounds."
Despite the Hoosier State's Governor Mike Pence stressing the new law wouldn't legalize discrimination against certain individuals or groups, but instead would protect the religious convictions of service providers such as pro-life pharmacists forced to sell abortifacients (abortion-inducing drugs), a number of high profile pro-LBGT advocates have slammed Pence and the Indiana legislature. One of the more prominent would be Apple CEO Tim Cook, who the Gawker.com news portal tagged in 2011 as "The the Most Powerful Gay Man in America."
As reported by CBS, Cook took to the editorial pages of The Washington Post to slam the RFRA as he believes it "goes against the very principles our nation was founded on." Not done yet, Cook also opined "On behalf of Apple, I'm standing up to oppose this new wave of legislation wherever it emerges. I'm writing in the hopes that many more will join this movement."
However, Cook made no mention of Apple Inc. expanding to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia last year. As reported by Arabian Business on Dec. 20, 2014, Apple opened two new stores in Riyadh and Al Khobar. According to Apple's official website, the corporation has well over 14 retail stores within the Kingdom, as well as numerous other stores the width and breadth of the Muslim World. A number of the same Muslim-majority nations also adhere to Islamic Shari'a law which clearly states homosexuality to be illegal.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia takes it a bit further. Saudi Arabia executes homosexuals. Publicly executing homosexuals isn't the only Shari'a compliant move taken in the oil rich nation. Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, the powerful Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, declared in 2012 that it is "necessary to destroy all the [Christian] churches of the region." Not finished with calling for the death of homosexuals or bulldozing churches, the Sheikh also gave the official thumbs-up for 10-year-old girls to be married off against their will.

Brits have their Phil of Political Correctness, tell posh department store to duck off and die

In spite of no one in the mainstream media bright enough to recognize the undeniable similarities, our British cousins are embroiled in their own version of the Duck Dynasty vs. A+E controversy we're dealing with here in the Colonies.

Obama's sham 'signing up' for ObamaCare
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." – George Orwell
The Associated Press via ABC News reports on Dec. 23, 3013 that in what many on the right could honestly describe as a case of gross hypocrisy, Barack Obama had his staffers "symbolically" sign him up for the same ObamaCare that hundreds of millions of Americans who live in the world of reality must contend with.
And unlike Obama, everyday Americans have to provide very personal information or face fine or even possibly arrest, whereas Obama was exempt from having his staff providing info such as his Social Security Number.

BROOKLYN, Mich. — This was exactly the kind of scenario Kyle Busch needs to avoid.
Busch slid onto the grass after coming through a turn during NASCAR Sprint Cup practice Saturday, damaging his No. 18 Toyota. He returned to the track in a backup car, but he now faces the prospect of having to start from the back Sunday in the 400-mile, 200-lap race at Michigan International Speedway.
"I was just running along, everything was fine and I was actually feeling pretty good about it," Busch said. "Just started to get a little free up off of (turn) four."
Busch has won four times this year, but he's only 30th in points because he missed 11 races...

Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
Okay, I'll deal with my complaints right off the bat here and get them out of the way. Firstly, the entire beginning of this Season 6 finale, with the frolicking vampires and the volleyball game set to The Breeders' "Cannonball," was trash. As was the name of the episode itself - "Radioactive" - which was clearly chosen as the name just so they could play the Imagine Dragons song at the end. All True Blood episode titles are the name of the song at the end, but usually they're either slightly germane to the plot or they're vague enough to be able to be the title of, well, anything. Like "In the Evening" and "Don't You Feel Me?"
I truly doubt that True Blood axed a (real) fan favorite character like Eric, but if they did...that would be awesome! Not because I want him to die, because I don't. But that was such a freaking funny scene. Eric, just sitting there. Reading in the nude and soaking up the rays. Having abandoned his progeny for a seemingly woe-be-gotten purpose. And then we find him on holiday. Playing catch up with an old book he'd been putting off reading. Really good stuff.
So how and when did this episode pick up? Well, it was with Warlow's slap. Yes, they decide to take back all of Warlow's dreamy-eyed romanticism and revert him back to the "I want to f*** you and own you" villain that we were all led to believe he was at the top of the season. It was a cheap swerve, but I accepted it because I never liked Warlow becoming Sookie's soft new love interest, and the show became far more exciting once things turned into Bill vs. Warlow. In a vampire vs. faerie-vampire battle in the heart of Instagram-filter Candy Land. From there, Jason, Andy and Violet joined the fray - doing their best to protect Sookie, who could no longer use her Hail Mary "hadouken!" light ball due to blood loss. And by the end - and really the best part of this fight - the Stackhouses brought down Warlow. Niall came back through a portal and held him while Warlow took a stake to the chest. And so the three who began the season on a Warlow hunt got to take him down in the end.
Then the episode jumped six months ahead, which was both jolting and necessary. I remember how the year-long jump between Seasons 3 and 4 felt refreshing. Because True Blood episodes always pick up right where the last one left off. And so time gets crunched so bad that no one gets a chance to climb out of their respective pain cycle. And it becomes frustrating as a viewer to know that what you've been watching for years has only taken place on the show over a few weeks. Plus, they went so far as to introduce a pregnancy to the show and the last time they did that, they needed a time jump to bring the poor kid to term.
Also, True Blood finales are usually notorious for solving the main bad guy issue in the first half and then using the second half to set up the next season. And it usually just feels like lingering, directionless fallout. Like, they didn't quite have enough story to fill a full episode. But the six month jump took care of that and allowed a decent amount of separation - some breathing room - from the Warlow events, while still keeping the late Governor Burrell's Hep-V plan an issue.
So the second half of the episode, in which True Blood basically said "We're a zombie show now" by introducing the new threat of infected, mindless (and weaker) roaming vampires, gave us Mayor Sam, town rich gal Arlene (it's now Bellefleur's Bar and Grill) and the new hot and heavy couple of Sookie and Alcide. Bill's now an author and Jason's still with Violet (although, as part of some fem-dom chastity game, he still hasn't been allowed to have sex with her). Sam's come up with the harebrained idea that every family in town should have their own vampire who they would feed with their blood in exchange for protection. I'm not sure how that matches up, humans to vamps, in Bon Temps, but it turned the Arlene-sponsored party at the bar (with live music provided by hipster James and his fun-time vampire band) into an awkward school dance.
The best part of the "adopt a vamp" plan though, as silly as it sounds, was that it gave Jessica a chance to apologize to Andy and Adeline. Because even though Bill had stern words with Andy on behalf of Jessica a few episodes back, she needed to say something to him herself. And speaking of closure, Tara, who's had nothing to do all season, finally got the apology she deserved from her mother. Sure, her mother was turning to her in a time of crisis, but it still felt genuine. "I forgot to feed you, Tara." It worked really well.
So the best thing this finale did was circle back to things that, normally, True Blood would just leave in the dust. Jessica spoke with Andy, Jason killed Warlow, Tara and her mom reconciled, and the Alcide/Sookie pairing we were teased with last season became a reality. And if True Blood wants to dip its toe into the zombie pool, go for it. Let's just hope the zom-craze doesn't peter out before next summer.

Grab your mothers old jeans and stay ahead of fashion. No one can say that fashion is like an evolving door the pasted comes back to to future. When this trend started to make its a come back I was not 100% convinced that I would get on the ban wagon and rock the embroidery jean look.
I am more into the Jean jackets then anything they look so in chic and out there …l love being different in anything creative that I do so having a printed big flower on my back would sure be my thing.The jean dose all the talking so you don't need to over do it when it comes to your top. Try to keep it simple and still on trend
Embroidery on jeans adds a unique touch to everyday denim, whether it's lending a tough-luxe finish, retro edge or playful allure. The trend featured heavily in a number of SS16 collections, with labels from Alexander McQueen to Valentino all getting on board with decorative denim. It's also quickly become a celebrity mainstay.
Given that it looks set to stay, it's worth exploring how to wear embroidered jeans without looking like a modern-day Pocahontas or a costume party hippy.For a more delicate finish, you could get the look I have created its simple and still on trend it can go from night time to day time.Noe I very much hope you wont be afraid to try this trend Its seems like it is here to stay.
Until my next post……..

Lots of Tap Dancing!
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I bought several Shirley Temple movies for my kids (2 yrs, 3 yrs, and a blind 15 yr old). I was hoping for lots of music, singing & dancing, and was highly disapointed in several of the movies. Of the 10 Temple movies we currently own, The Little Rebel and Curly Top are the only 2 that are getting worn out from repetitive viewings. The kids love this one and so do Dad and I!! While watching this movie, the kids get up and start dancing all around. I have to re-wind the dance numbers over and over so they can see them again. In-fact, they have become so interested in dancing that I bought them tap shoes for their birthday! Great entertainment for the whole family!"

"This beautiful Shirley Temple story is simply wonderful-- with lots of songs, dramatic scenes, and dances with Bojangles this VHS is well worth it's pricetag. If your a fan of Shirley or "The Little Colonel" then you'll love this movie! With the wonderful Bojangles(from the The Little Colonel) and James Bole(Curly Top) you'll love this movie.
In this film Shirley plays Virgie a very determined, strong-willed girl who lives in the South when the war breaks-- suddenly Virgie is struggling with her mom to survive as her father serves as a spy for the Confederettes-- while have there house pillared by Yankees who routinely visit looking for Shirley's dad. When Shirley's mom tragically dies-- Shirley's dad makes the vow never to have his child "leave his arms again" with the help of a friendly yankee Shirley and her dad make an attempt to go to Richmond to stay with an aunt in her home- only problem getting through yankee lines. When Shirley and her father are captured. Shirley's father and the kind yankee are sentanced to execution. The only way to save them is up to Shirley as she goes to ask Abe Lincoln "You won't let them kill my daddy will you."
A heartful and one of my favorite Shirley and Civil War movies of all time. This movie shows off all that talent with her dramatic acting ability, lovable songs, and wonderful dance scenes with one of the greatest dancers of all time. This movie is a keeper to own in your family movie collection. This is a great Civil War story since it dosn't really chose either side of the war and it gives a view that makes you feel in the end no one wins. With great acting and all that talent you can't loose when you buy this treasure! Watch this movie and see America's "Littlest Charmer.""
Very good!!!!

Shirley Temple as Virgie
Rebekah A. Lane | USA | 10/14/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Virgie, a brave Southern girl with a big heart is caught in a world turned upside down as the Civil War seperates her from her doting father, Captin Cary (John Boles). As a scout for the Confederate army, Cary visits his family's now run down plantation when possible . . . but it becomes more and more dangerous as Union Soldiers tighten their grip on the neighborhood. Mrs. Cary does her best to manage the plantation, with the assistance of their cooporative slaves. Especially fun loving "Uncle Billy", and his hilarious side-kick, "James Henry". But then a battle takes place near their genteel mansion, and they lose their home. Uncle Billy sets off to find his master, and brings him back to his ill wife. While at home, the Union Soldiers come searching for him. Can a sympathising Union Colonel and Virgie with her youthful innocence save him now? Only a visit to Washington can tell. This is one of my favorite Shirley Temple movies. There are several cute song and dance recitals with Shirley and "Mr. Bojangles", and the simple minded "James Henry" provides comic relief for what could otherwise be a depressing movie (war time movies can sometimes be that way). The only dissapointment for me was that John Bole's role as Captin Cary left something to be desired. It was slightly less convincing than in Curly Top. I definately reccomend this."

The immense popularity of the Venice Boardwalk has raised new concerns for this zany seaside carnival. The huge crowds have attracted every manner of illegal vendor and legitimate nonprofit to set up shop on Ocean Front Walk. This, in turn, has created an impenetrable wall of tables along the east side of the famous walkway, blocking emergency vehicle access and posing a safety hazard for pedestrians.
Limiting nonprofit groups to six-foot tables and banning structures along the boardwalk's west side is a reasonable means to restore public ingress and egress and to preserve some open space in this public park. Of course, leafleting, signature gathering and other free speech activities will continue.
The Venice Boardwalk Assn. respects and welcomes the many artists, craftspeople and entertainers working on the boardwalk; at our request, the new boardwalk regulations do not affect these individuals. However, we feel they deserve to have their contributions recognized, so last December we proposed a plan to legitimize their presence on the boardwalk. We also asked (that) they be allowed to sell their wares. (They are currently prohibited from setting a price and can only suggest a donation.)
We look forward to the city of Los Angeles going ahead with this plan to establish the west side of the boardwalk as a permanent haven for the activities of artists and entertainers.
Executive Director Venice Boardwalk Assn.

Hello Sandy,ReplyDelete
What beautiful outfits...perfect for a holiday on a ship. I really like both dresses, but I think I agree with you about the straps.
Big hug
Thank you so much Giac. Yes, you are right, the more I looked at them I realised they need to be inside, so it's back to doing it the old way. :)Delete
What a gorgeous backdrop and definitely has that cruise feel to it. Lovely dresses. Maybe the straps on the inside? Although I think straps on the outside can look good too particularly the way you have it framed there with the decorative button.ReplyDeleteReplies
This is one of my favourite back drops, it takes me back to my own cruise. :) I really prefer the straps inside Alasse, but I made the button holes in the straps without thinking, when I should have made them in the waistband. Perhaps if the straps had been a lottle shorter it might have looked better, but I'm not going to change them now.Delete
Hellou there! Wonderful dresses! It looks different with the straps outside, but it works - maybe but them a bit appart. The flowers are lovely! Hugs!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Niina, I'm glad you think so, but I don't think I will make them this way again, I really prefer the straps o n the inside. It was the daisy buttons that inspired me to make the dress. :)Delete
They look great! I love the blue flowerish dress, so cute <3ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Musume. ❤Delete
The girls ARE being spoilt! Cruises, more new clothes!!! ;)ReplyDelete
I agree on the straps, I think I'd have them going to the inside rather than out. But two lovely outfits once again :)
Yes they are Sharon. We try things differently from time to time, sometimes they work, other times they don't, this time it didn't, so I have learnt my lesson and won't do it again. I should really change it, but I can't be bothered right now, maybe when I get sick of looking at it this way I will. :)Delete

DCC Sign Ex-Yorkshire Quick!
After the disappointment of the 2017 season, Dunnington have completed the signing of ex-Yorkshire quick bowler Moin Ashraf from Brandon CC to spearhead our attack for 2018.
Moin went through the junior setup at Yorkshire and after graduating from the Academy, played 24 first class matches for the White Rose. He particularly found his niche in T20 and was a huge part of Yorkshire's bowling attack in the shortest format of the game for a number of years.
He eventually parted ways with Yorkshire after the 2015 season, and joined Northants CCC for the 2016 season, enjoying some success in T20 once again.
After a hugely successful 2017 campaign in the North East Premier League with Brandon CC where he took 61 wickets at an average of 15, Moin is now joining DCC to spearhead our attack as we look to secure promotion back to the Yorkshire North Premier League.
Welcome to DCC Moin, and good luck for the 2018 season!
