Rep. Yvette Clarke from Brooklyn wants the Dutch slaves in Brooklyn to be freed in 1898
Last edited Wed Sep 5, 2012, 09:50 AM - Edit history (1)
She's a little historically challenged. She was just on Colbert. She said that if she went back to 1898 she would want to be set free. Colbert asked from what. She said "slavery." Colbert asked who would be enslaving her. She said "the Dutch."
Her idiocy will get headlines soon.

6. naw, she's really one of the good guys
I haven't seen the Colbert clip, and I can't speak to her familiarity with US history, but... I voted for her in '06/08 so I'm a little biased, but she's among the most progressive voices in Congress:
Born the child of Jamaican immigrant parents, Clarke has lived all her life in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Flatbush. Upon graduating from Edward R. Murrow High School, she earned a scholarship to Oberlin College in Ohio, where she completed most of her education, before transferring to Medgar Evers College for her final semester. She is also a recipient of the "Prestigious APPAH/Sloan Fellowship in Public Policy and Policy Analysis".
Clarke is an advocate for the empowerment of women and minorities and introduced legislation that resulted in the Council's Minority & Women-Owned Business Empowerment (MWBE) study that that found women and minority-owned businesses are not awarded their fair share of city contracts. This finding forced New York City to end its system of economic discrimination. As co-chair of the New York Council's Women's Caucus, Clarke secured $9.5 million in funding for organizations that addressed the issues of domestic violence prevention, breast cancer awareness, housing and HIV/AIDS counseling for women.
Twelve million Americans owe more money than the actual value of their homes. My constituents have been waiting on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to take the leadership role and work with state Attorney Generals to write down mortgage principals, particularly on subprime mortgages. The American people have been duped, lied to, and kicked out of their homes and now its time for Mr. DeMarco to stand up and do right by them, stated U.S. Representative Yvette D. Clarke.
Representative Clarke received an A rating from the Drum Major Institute, TheMiddleClass.org, and 100% ratings by Peace Action, The Brady Campaign and the American Civil Liberties Union. She was also named After-School Hero by The After-School Corporation for her work on the House Education and Labor Committee.
There is overwhelming evidence of official misconduct, deliberate fraud and an attempt to suppress voter turnout by unlawful means that were used to produce George W. Bushs false victory. The preponderance of the available evidence points to Vice President Al Gore as the actual winner of the most votes in Florida and he should have been awarded the states electoral votes.
Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.), during a press conference with lawmakers from different minority caucuses in the House and Senate, condemned a tough, new Arizona law meant to crack down on illegal immigrants.
"It's akin to apartheid," Clarke said. "And that tramples on the civil rights and civil liberties of everyone."

8. Tad mixed up in her facts; off by 200 years, but................
the Dutch did have a hand in bringing slaves to New York:
"The British took over in 1664, and control of the colony passed to the Duke of York, who, with his cronies, held controlling interest in the Royal African Company. The change of name from New Netherland to New York brought a crucial shift in policy. Whereas the Dutch had used slavery as part of their colonial policy, the British used the colony as a market for slaves. "The Duke's representatives in New York -- governors, councilors, and customs officials -- were instructed to promote the importation of slaves by every possible means."[5]
From 1701 to 1726, officially, some 1,570 slaves were imported from the West Indies and another 802 from Africa. As it had under the Dutch, the colony continued to import relatively few slaves from Africa directly, except occasional cargoes of children under 13. The actual numbers were much higher, because smugglers made liberal use of the long, convoluted coast of Long Island. In some years illegal shipment of slaves on a single vessel outnumbered the official imports to the whole colony.
As a result, New York soon had had the largest colonial slave population north of Maryland. From about 2,000 in 1698, the number of the colony's black slaves swelled to more than 9,000 adults by 1746 and 13,000 by 1756."

Dimmu Borgir (/ˌdɪmuː ˈbɔːrɡɪər/ or Norwegian: [dɪmmʏ bɔɾgiɾ] or Norwegian pronunciation: [dɪmmʏ bɔʁgiʁ]) is a Norwegian symphonic black metal band from Oslo, Norway, formed in 1993. The name is derived from Dimmuborgir, a volcanic formation in Iceland, the name of which means "dark cities" or "dark castles/fortresses" in Icelandic, Faroese and Old Norse. The band has been through numerous lineup changes over the years; guitarist Silenoz and vocalist Shagrath are the only original members who still remain with guitarist Galder being a longstanding member.
The Analysis—-
Xibir [Orchestra Only]—-If you are a fan of Dimmu, or even slightly acquainted, this recording seems only natural in the grand scheme of things. What an experience it must be as an Orchestra member to play with such a dark and epic band. This track is lush and full of orchestrated moods and energy. Combining the choir of voices with the overblown music comes together to create something damn magical.
Born Treacherous—-The opening strains of the band are greeted by a huge swell of excitement. The music played by the band is bolstered and made so much larger by the Orchestra. Shagrath and his growl seems to wrap itself around the magnificent strings. This only makes the band seem even larger. I love this recording. When the choir joins in on the chorus it is an incredible journey in itself.
Gateways—-With a huge swell full of strings and those magnificent drums and bass line. this song becomes literally huge. Like an epic journey through guttural vocals accompanied by a beautifully landscaped Orchestra, the dichotomy is incredible. Shaw makes an appearance here….I never cared for her very much. She nor a full choir can even come close to the incredible vocal style from ICS Vortex…..a huge mistake for the band to lose him.
Dimmu Borgir [Orchestra Only]—-Serving as almost an introduction to the proper song, the choir soars with a huge anthem style delivery that just sounds beautiful. The swells of voices, strings and movements are like a huge movie come to life. Magnificent.
Dimmu Borgir—-Perhaps one of my favorite tracks from the band as of late, this is delivered with a huge and intense grandiosity. As Shagrath takes his proper place at the microphone and urges the crowd toward mania, the Orchestra and choir keep pace with the venom remarkably well. This is even better than the original version of the song. I am enthralled and in love. The swells and huge string delivery with the backing choir all come together to create a perfect magnificent storm.
Chess With The Abyss—-This seems a bit more straight forward in delivery…the orchestration is there…but not overly pronounced. The vocal here is the powerful force….along with the lead guitar that is blistering fast. The choir does an incredible job with the backing vocal, but Shagrath is the star here…sounding driven and demonic.
Ritualist—-With sound effects and an almost gentle acoustic intro, the sound falls away to invite the mayhem to the center stage. The vocal from Shagrath just seems so comfortable with all the members of the choir and orchestra. This is an amazing endeavor and recording.
A Jewel Traced Through Coal—-Delivering an incredibly huge sound, the energy of the recording threatens my ears and speakers. The strings swell to an almost bursting apex. The vocal from Shagrath always front and center and never drowned by the band or all the other musicians on stage. The choir adds a back swell that makes the song so huge. Just incredible.
Eradication Instincts Defined [Orchestra Only]—-Jaunty and overblown, this is delivered with a lot of flourish and grand choir overtones. I like it….but I can take or leave this…it all has a same like quality to it.
Vredesbyrd—-Stepping out of the depths of hell with a vocal that that belies and grandiosity, this track is pure and simple classic Dimmu. You almost miss the overblown backdrop of the orchestra simply because the vocal is so aggressive. This is fantastic….the crowd seems literally out of their minds…and the participation in fantastic. A stand out track…I have not heard this song in a long time.
Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse—-Perhaps the most well known track from the band, I love the backdrop of the swells of music, but the choir can not even come close to replacing the soaring vocal of former member Vortex. This is a bit of a disappointment for me…..I just miss that classic clean vocal line.
The Serpentine Offering—-Perhaps my favorite track from In Sorte Diaboli, the orchestration here makes the sound and the energy seem even larger than could be imagined. The orchestration was always here on this song from the original…but here it becomes even larger. What surprises me is how Shagrath never loses the power of his vocal despite all that is going on. Just remarkable.
Fear And Wonder [Orchestra Only]—-Overblown and moody, this serves as a slight transition I suppose….but to me….it would be a lot to sit through…..
Kings Of The Carnival Creation—-Jetting into the back catalog for another fan favorite track, Shagrath sounds just as evil as he ever did….despite the delivery of the song. The buildup is maddening before the band truly kicks in….and for me, the song loses some of its venom in his setting. I like it….but I will take the original any day…..
Puritania—-Huge and incredible drums introduce this track…the distortion on the vocal adds to the credibility of the band. The sharp and quick bursts of music takes me back to the days when the Black Metal sound of Dimmu was more pure if you will. This is delivered with a nice energy…it is easy to remember the old days.
Mourning Place—-True in sound and delivered with just the right attitude and tone of venom this is just magnificent. I love the snarl that Shagrath delivers….backed by the higher tones of the choir…..it all comes together to create an incredible sound and energy.
Perfection Or Vanity [Orchestra Only]—-Ending what must have been a very long evening, this is delivered with the same beauty and intricacy as the opening track. This is certainly a journey all of it's own. Now….it's time for Dimmu to return to what they do best…….recording….please?

96 pages, 100+ colour photos
This is a stunning collection of photographs by acclaimed "polar bear photographer" Steven Kazlowski. Featuring mostly never-before-published images, this simple yet evocative book explores the polar bear's Arctic home and life cycle. Playful cubs, hungry boars, and intimidating sows – Kazlowski's photographs capture this fascinating species in all its beautiful and fearsome glory. More than 100 full-color images reveal the polar bear's world, as well as the entire Arctic landscape: rugged ice floes, magical aurora borealis, walruses, seals, Arctic foxes and rabbits, beluga whales, and a variety of birds including the snowy owl. Kazlowski also captures the Inuit people and their culture in which the polar bear plays a significant part. The photographs are complemented by a short and informative essay by polar bear expert Ian Stirling that portrays the natural history of the polar bear – its behavior, diet and prey, unique features, and habitat – as well as its status as an endangered species.

Verses by topic
Verses on Greed
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
A greedy man stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the Lord will be enriched.
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
And he said to them, "Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world.
One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
Whoever is greedy for unjust gain troubles his own household, but he who hates bribes will live.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
An inheritance gained hastily in the beginning will not be blessed in the end.
He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.
"For from the least to the greatest of them, everyone is greedy for unjust gain; and from prophet to priest, everyone deals falsely.
Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
And he said, "What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. …
He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.
But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty. Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge,
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
For wicked men are found among my people; they lurk like fowlers lying in wait. They set a trap; they catch men. Like a cage full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; therefore they have become great and rich; they have grown fat and sleek. They know no bounds in deeds of evil; they judge not with justice the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper, and they do not defend the rights of the needy. Shall I not punish them for these things? declares the Lord, and shall I not avenge myself on a nation such as this?"
A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty will come upon him.
How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

United Nations Environment Programme
We often associate the Caspian Sea with caviar that is legally or illegally finding its way to our tables, but overlook the footprints left by a number of industries installed on shores of the Caspian that are serving the world wealthiest market demands. The struggle for access to the vast resources of this unique and fragile ecosystem and the development of new transportation routes between Europe and Asia continue to shape the geopolitical and security conditions in and around the world's largest body of inland water. These and other developments pose complex challenges in the efforts of countries to improve the damaged ecosystems that the local communities are depending on.
Vital Caspian Graphics: Challenges Beyond Caviar examines very complex, yet fascinating issues affecting the environment of the Caspian Sea and the surrounding areas. Illustrated with more than 50 maps and diagrams, it provides a well-researched, well-documented and up-to-date analysis of the geopolitical, economic, environmental, population and security conditions that have resulted to a blend of competition and reluctant collaboration among nation states, complex economic interests, as well as legal, political, and ideological struggle in the region. It also features a number of earlier published newspaper articles that are relevant to the issues addressed. In view of the profound significance of the Caspian Sea region to global and regional environmental security, Vital Caspian Graphics will be an invaluable tool for individuals, academics, governments, and corporations.

The chairman of the Illinois Republican Party resigned today, four months after angering conservatives by supporting gay marriage.
The exit of Pat Brady, who had served in the post since 2009, had been expected after he narrowly survived an effort by party officials to oust him in March. His departure comes as the Illinois House of Representatives considers a Senate-passed bill to legalize gay marriage and make the state the first in the Midwest to endorse same-sex unions with a legislative vote.
Brady said in January he was putting his "full support" behind the bill, saying it "strengthens families and reinforces a key Republican value -- that the law should treat all citizens equally."
The view put Brady at odds with the party's platform that said marriage should be between a man and a woman only. His statement, which he described as a personal position, provoked an immediate response from gay-marriage opponents, including the National Organization for Marriage, which pledged to defeat any Republican legislator voting for such a law. The group also called Brady "unfit" to continue as chairman.
In his letter of resignation to the party's State Central Committee, Brady didn't mention gay marriage. He said it was "an honor and a privilege" to lead the party.
Rhode Island became the 10th U.S. state and the final one in New England to make gay weddings legal, after its House of Representatives passed a bill May 3 expanding marriage rights to homosexuals. Governor Lincoln Chafee, a 60-year-old Republican- turned-independent, had pushed the change since taking office in 2011.
Illinois Governor Pat Quinn has promised to sign the gay marriage bill if the House sends it to him.

My third and final Prague post - it's been relatively quick and painless, I just need another holiday now. For our last night in Prague I decided to bring out this scuba full midi skirt for the first time and dress it up with the best shoes ever. It was the quickest 'Add to Bag' ever when they appeared on the ASOS website and I haven't looked back. They're also perfect for when you're heading out but can't quite face heels.
Paired with the old trusty lace up blouse, that I still want in blue but haven't quite got round to that one yet. The time will come, don't worry.

The Heart of Betrayal by Mary E. Pearson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the second book in a the series entitled "The Remnant Chronicles". Mary E. Pearson did not disappoint. This second book is as good as the first one and the story continues to grow into this awesome epic. The primary characters have evolved and matured; and the new ones are each bringing new dimensions to the story. Not everything is what it seems. What one believed so strongly in the past can be changed with the opening of the eyes of the soul. Betrayal runs deep bringing new obstacles to conquer. New alliances are formed and are their only hope.

Business Cards Made Simple | Six Tips For A Successful Business Card Design
Business Cards Made Simple | Many business owners don't even carry around business cards anymore, which is a mistake: Business cards aren't just for providing potential clients with your contact details; they can also start conversations and spur relationships. In today's digital age of networking and interaction, you might think the paper business card is a lingering relic of a long-gone era. While it's true that we don't use them the same way we used to, they still serve as a representation of you and your business, and they're an extension of your business brand.
Business Cards Made Simple | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
However, your business card will never be the marketing workhorse you want it to be unless it looks professional, is easy to read, and helps your existing and potential clients and business partners remember what you're providing and why they should get it from you. Making all that happen on a piece of paper that is only 3.5 inches wide and 2 inches deep is a tall order. But it can be done. Here's how!
Who, What, Where, Why? | Business Cards Made Simple
It may sound obvious, but the first (and most important!) thing to think about when designing your business card is the information you want to include. Make sure your name, job title and company name or logo are clearly displayed. If you have social media profiles set up for your business, include those links too, in addition to your website. Keep in mind that it's never a good idea to scratch out old phone numbers in old business cards and write new ones when meeting someone. This just shows a lack of preparation and will leave the impression that you may not be serious about your business.

Make Your Card Readable | Business Cards Made Simple
Although smaller text may look readable on a computer screen, it could become just a smudge when actually printed. Experts usually advise not to go smaller than 8pt. The font itself should be professional and simple, so make sure you don't use complex or unusual fonts for your name and contact details, unless it's appropriate for your business image. Use easy-to-read but not too generic fonts (such as Courier). Also, you'll want to make sure the font color stands out against the background of the card as well. Light gray text on a white card makes it hard to read letters and numbers.
Use Special Finishes | Business Cards Made Simple
An instant way to add impact to your business card, and make it pack a punch, is to use a special finish. Special finishes include the likes of foil blocking, spot-UV and metallic inks, but can add significant cost to your print. Spot UV printing, for example, is pretty straightforward: it basically enables you to highlight certain elements of your business card using a glossy varnish. It's a subtle technique and it looks stunning when used right.
Use Standard Business Card Size | Business Cards Made Simple
When handing out business cards, you want to make sure that the person you give it to will hold on to it. While it is a good idea to keep your card unique, you do want to be sure the card fits a standard business card size. Unless you have a particular need for it, stick to the usual 3.5 x 2 inch size to fit in most wallets, card holders and business card scanners. Rounded corners or other cut outs (called die-cuts) will definitely stand out, but might end up in trash, as they won't fit into business card holders, causing you to lose potential clients.

Define Your Business | Business Cards Made Simple
Use your business card as a chance to let people know what it is exactly that your business does. This can be done by way of a simple phrase or slogan. So, make sure to include your business logo, as well. Keep it short and simple, but make sure the person looking at the card will easily be able to figure out what the services your business is providing. However, don't clutter things up too much – as with the design, simpler and cleaner is always better.

Avoid Using Borders | Business Cards Made Simple
In fact, it's best to try to avoid using borders on your business card designs at all. They may look good on your computer screen, but when the cards are cut, you will most likely have some 'lop-sided' edges. All printers have a margin of error for cutting your cards, which can be as much as a few millimeters, so expect some variance in the area where the blade falls.

You take your breaks from the blizzards wherever you can find them, especially in clear sap running from a sugar maple.
Last week, when the snow stopped long enough to allow, off and on, about 36 hours of sunshine, my neighbor and a buddy of his hauled out 5-gallon plastic buckets, tubing and taps for their annual maple syrup operations, and got down to business. Installing taps was set to take place around lunchtime, so my neighbor called that morning to see if I could slip away to learn the tricks of this particularly sweet, low-cost, light-labor trade.
I'm always up for an activity that gets me into fresh air with good company, so I tagged along for the outing. These guys, who spend most of the year as painting contractors, run a sort of goodwill operation, tiny by comparison to commercial ventures. But the 5 gallons they get and give away each year goes a long way toward winning favor from clients whose homes or halls they've painted, and there's always enough left for them, their families and friends, so they've made a tradition out of maple sugaring each winter toward the end of February.
We stayed close to home, within a 15-minute drive of our edge of town. Our trio convened at the property on which the equipment was stored and a few old, old giant maple trees were waiting to be tapped. Weather conditions were perfect: relative warmth following a few good days of cold.
The tapping we did was my favorite kind of homemade-production operation — low-key, fun and geared to the intelligence attained by an 8-year-old — just about my speed.
At one point, my neighbor and I were talking "xylem" and "phloem," but only in that offhand manner that acknowledges that it's been a lot of years since college and any memory of even rudimentary botany.
I believe he was trying to explain what actually happens inside the tree — how maple trees in the fall stop growing and begin storing excess starches throughout their sapwood. It remains there as long as the temperature holds below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, about the temperature at which the starch turns into sugar, largely sucrose, and then passes into sap.
At about 45 degrees, sugar is no longer produced, and in March and April generally, the sugar changes back into starch. So there is this relatively brief window of opportunity — warm enough to get the clear-as-water sap flowing and cool enough for sugary sap production — for getting buckets and tubing, taps and temperments ready for the whole experience.
I noticed it takes a lot of standing around for an onlooker to participate, though the guys did let me drill a couple of holes (not too deep, on a slight upward angle); and I toted some of the empty buckets from one place on the snow-covered lawn to another (though I am unclear about whether that had any effect on the process). We had some lackadaisical conversations about whether the buckets were sterile enough for sugaring, but it was all in jest — we knew some of that mud just had to be cleaned out.
I was happy all the while, the smell of clean fresh air all around, plans for the future hanging in buckets if not on air (we still had to boil down whatever sap we got), moving around outdoors during midwinter in serviceable, worn flannel old clothes and approximate schedules. These are some of the best parts of living in the woods, even with the vagaries of weather and seasonal finances looming like storm fronts on the near horizon.
An impending snowstorm was the last thing on our minds, but we got around to it eventually, tossing out anticipated snowfall depths in inches like rash poker bets.
"I heard eight to 18," I said. "But what can that kind of range even mean?"
"No, four to six," one of the guys said.
"Eight to 12," the other countered.
Six to 10 seemed optimistic and realistic both, so I settled on that, though the blue, cloud-laced sky seemed too friendly to deliver that kind of blow again so soon after the last blast. We stowed away the few unused buckets that might still be put to work somewhere else, some other time — precision in planning being the name of the game. We coiled the extra tubing like a garden hose, fitted it into a bucket, tossed in the unused taps and climbed into our vehicles.
All in all, a little over an hour — a very reasonable investment for the expected return.
The next step, I understand, comes with collecting and boiling off the 90 percent water to produce syrup. It takes some time, my neighbor tells me, especially on the brick stove that looks like a moonshiner's contraption that he's jerry-rigged in his yard. But it gives him time to read a book and listen to, get this, his transistor radio, while lounging beneath the trees.
It might represent a throwback to some iPad/iPod people, but that kind of labor sounds like the perfect job to me.
I'll be back over to see him in a couple of weeks. Wouldn't want to leave that last part of the task unfinished. Besides, someone has to be on hand to test the final product. I'll bring bacon, eggs and pancake mix. The trees can provide the rest.

Brits brace for more flooding as UK reaches saturation point after killer storms
BATTERED Britain will finally get a break from killer storms this week but 7ft floods are set to get even worse.
Forecasters say the turbo-charged jet stream that produced the horrible conditions has finally calmed down.
But much of Britain's soil is so waterlogged even a small amount of rain will be enough to cause further floods.
And the stricken south-west is set for another 10 days-worth of rain in just 24 hours today, sparking fears of more floods.
Met Office spokesman Helen Roberts explained: "It looks like the heaviest rain or largest total of rainfall will probably be across south-west England and Devon.
"We are looking at around 10mm of rainfall today. However, there could be 20 to 30mm in some areas"Met Office spokesman Helen Roberts
"We are looking at around 10mm of rainfall today. However, there could be 20 to 30mm in some areas. We have yellow rain warnings for the south-west today.
"That is largely because areas are so saturated that even relatively small amounts of water are going to cause problems."
The huge totals are more than one third of the 88mm of rain Britain usually experiences in the whole of February.
Yesterday a fireman who helped scores of flood victims died just as the weather began to calm down.
Clifford Cox, 53, collapsed in the kitchen of his fire station in Staines, Surrey, on Saturday night.
But despite frantic efforts to save Clifford, a fireman for 25 years, he later passed away.
However, there was also some good news, as last week's 110mph gale-force winds and downpours may finally be replaced by some drier, brighter weather.
The Met Office says most of Britain will have a cloudy week with occasional sunny spells and rain showers.
Meanwhile, clueless council bosses sparked fury over plans to build hundreds of homes on waterlogged floodplains.
Town hall chiefs want to build even more houses in Walton-on-Thames and Molesey in Surrey, despite recent "severe" flood warnings.
And on the Somerset Levels pen-pushers even want to put up homes in areas that have been underwater for weeks, including Curry Moor.
That is despite calls from top insurance chiefs to stop the reckless construction.
Aviva boss Mark Wilson said: "As a nation we need to build more homes, but the cost of development must include the cost of defences.
"Let's be crystal clear: no defences, no development."

Product Description
Initially produced as an acoustic in 1922 under the direction of famed Gibson luthier Lloyd Loar, the L-5 was Gibson's first guitar with f-holes. In the 1940s the model became the rhythm box of choice for big band players and later the standard guitar for Wes Montgomery, who would eventually receive a custom model. And it was already one of the world's most popular guitars when Gibson first electrified the model in 1951.
Gibson put a pair of P-90 single-coil pickups and a rosewood bridge on the first 31 L-5 CES models to emerge from the original Kalamazoo plant in '51. Although the guitars never went into high production, the company's engineers continued to work on numerous modifications. In 1958, 21 examples of the classic version of the L-5 CES that's produced today by Gibson's Custom Shop emerged, beefed up with two humbucking pickups and an ABR-1 bridge.
Today's Custom Shop L-5 CESN is a truly classic instrument in Natural finish . Its appearance is both imposing and graceful, with a stylish single cutaway, block inlays, and artfully crafted headstock. The headstock is itself a work of art, bearing a pearl inlay inspired by the urns of ancient Greece. Available in wine red, ebony, natural, and vintage sunburst finishes, the L-5 CES has a high-grade spruce top and maple back and rims. Its body is a substantial 17-inches wide, 21-inches long, and 3 3/8-inches deep – dimensions key to its rich, dark, woody tones. Multi-ply binding in black or white accents the top and back, and single-ply white binding outlines the f-holes
The guitar's neck is made of high-grade maple and walnut supporting a 20-fret ebony fingerboard with pearl block inlays and multi-ply black or white binding. The ES rounded profile neck has a 25 1/2-inch scale length with a 1 11/16-inch width at the nut.
The electronics array is pure Gibson, with two '57 Classic humbucking pickups, two volume knobs, two tone knobs, and a three-way selector switch. The Custom Shop's L-5 CES is outfitted in all gold hardware and features Schaller M6s tuners. The instrument's ABR-1 bridge has an ebony base and there's an artfully rendered L-5 trapeze tailpiece.

Uygur scholar Ilham Tohti slams repression of ethnic minority
An outspoken advocate for China's Muslim Uygur minority criticised the government on Friday at a time of heightened sensitivities because of recent unrest, saying its stifling security presence has fanned ethnic discord in his far western homeland.
The comments by Uygur scholar Ilham Tohti, as well as his allegations that 34 Uygurs remain missing after a previous crackdown, came on the fourth anniversary of massive ethnic riots that rocked the Xinjiang regional capital. His critique of Beijing's policies was unusually bold for an activist based on the mainland, rather than overseas, at a time when authorities are on high alert and have responded to such critics with detentions.
Clashes have erupted in recent months that have killed at least 56 people in Xinjiang, a region that has long been home to a simmering rebellion against Chinese rule among parts of the Central Asian, Turkic-speaking Uygur (pronounced WEE-gur) population. In the bloodiest recent clash, 35 people were killed last week when a group of assailants attacked a police station and government offices in the eastern Xinjiang town of Lukqun, the government said.
Tohti said tensions will continue to boil over into violence as long as the government maintains its tight controls over the region and fails to address the Uygur minority group's complaints of discrimination and marginalisation.
"Every time something happens, the government responds with one word: pressure. High pressure, high pressure, and even greater pressure. This leads to greater resistance and more conflict," Tohti said by phone. "The government should reflect and take responsibility for what is happening in Xinjiang now and in the future."
China has responded to the recent unrest with a massive show of force. State media have shown fleets of armoured anti-riot vehicles and trucks loaded with paramilitary police forces rolling along main streets. Hundreds or thousands of gun-toting, helmeted troops were shown assembled on a public square in Urumqi being sworn-in before they were deployed for patrols.
Authorities have blamed the unrest on "terrorism, extremism and separatism", ordered the confiscation of long knives, guns and other weapons and offered rewards for tips on suspected terrorist activity. In what was described as counter-terror efforts, police also publicised a list of names and pictures of 11 Uygur men it described as suspects wanted for murder and other attacks dating back to 2011.
Tohti said the lack of transparency surrounding the recent unrest and controls on independent reporting from the region make it difficult to determine what the true nature of the violence has been. He said that local frustration with Beijing's policies has fuelled the unrest in part.
"The government should know that in Xinjiang there is a peaceful resistance to violence, as well as a violent struggle against violence. Some of it has nothing to do with terrorism or separatism," Tohti said.
"A lot of people just cannot go on this way. They can't turn to legal channels or the media; they have no way to protect their own rights or express themselves. What are they supposed to do? Some of them choose confrontation and agitation," he said.
Tohti is a Beijing-based economist from Xinjiang who was speaking on the fourth anniversary of the July 2009 riots in Urumqi, which killed nearly 200 people and marked Xinjiang's worst ethnic violence in over a decade.
That violence began as Uygurs protested the deaths of Uygur factory workers in southern China and then clashed with police. The crowd scattered throughout the city, attacking majority Han Chinese, overturning and burning buses and cars and torching shops. Nearly 200 people, mostly Hans, were killed, according to the government. Two days later, Uygurs were targeted in revenge attacks.
On his website, Tohti posted a letter on Friday addressed to China's rubber-stamp legislature, the National People's Congress, and China's Cabinet, the State Council, in which he compiled a list of 34 Uygurs who remain missing after authorities launched an expansive crackdown in response to the 2009 riots. He said the authorities' persistent lack of accountability over the crackdown has fuelled hatred toward the government.
China defends its treatment of minorities, saying all ethnic groups are treated equally and that tens of billions of dollars in investment and aid have dramatically raised their living standards.

Good advice, but it says they like to trick him.. At least she doesn't get mad at you and thinks it's hilarious instead.. Have you thought maybe you need some glasses? I'm sure there are marks that are different on their faces.
badluckalex | 23
I dont tjink they would trick him into marrying the wrong twin.. they would have to divorce and then marry the right twin!
Ian7890 | 23
hey they are both the same, who cares which one he marries right? ha no this is a serious matter
pl0xs3rver | 45
That would be hilarious.
isuckwithnames | 22
Not actually true. He can only marry the one he has a marriage license with, so even if they did do that the marriage would be void.
sororitytaylor | 22
Well they could switch on purpose to be funny, having the wrong sister in the dress. You never know, they could be nuts.
Soloman212 | 28
127, depending on how long the ruse has been going, that might not save him.
MrsDruidess | 23
OK in case they do a dress swap, doubtful as a wedding is too important for jokes like that, do something else like clip her pinky nail on her left hand really short. that way when you put the ring on, you can check ;-) but if she gets her nails done the day of that won't work. . .
clip the sisters nail! hahaha who cars what her nails look like.
your screwed OP, good luck!!

There would be a divorce, but no remarriage I think.
NiceGuysDoWin | 21
In most western countries, the ceremony is just for show anyway. Most people don't understand that a wedding is just a big ritualistic party to celebrate the marriage, but the marriage itself is only valid if and when you sign the contract documents. Frankly, your best man could be in the dress and give the vows, and at the end of the day you would still be married to whoever signed the marriage licence.

Ambush the wrong twin with a permanent marker closer to the wedding. Either the mark itself or the scrub marks should last long enough for you tell the difference between them and get through the ceremony.

I'd have fun. trying to get a threesome going with two hot twin sisters ;) yeah thumb me down, but I'm sure everybody has had some hot fantasy along those lines :p

No problem! As a side note, OP might already have slept with both sisters and just doesn't know...
askullnamedbilly | 33
Technically speaking, you could even consider it masturbation, seeing as how identical twins are basically natural clones.
Pleonasm | 31
You don't have to be the one touching yourself for it to be masturbation, as far as I know, someone else doing the work for you is also called masturbation.
As far as self-masturbation goes, just because someone has your DNA identical to you doesn't mean that they are essentialy you, since the environment, epigenetics, psychology- all those things make that person completely different at the same time.

Twins do have differences in our DNA but it's the same as taking two cells from different parts of your body. Identical twins anyhow.

ItsATwinThing | 9
Identical twins have the exact same DNA, however things like finger prints are different. Fraternal twins have 50/50 just like any normal brother or sister. Of course the environment and experiences do make a difference for identical twins.
thesinginguy | 18
247, you are very wrong. While the DNA that determines physical features is very similar, all the rest is very very different.
NiceGuysDoWin | 21
Technically, it's only really incest if they touch each other. There could easily be a threesome with no incest involved so long as they both focus on him...

Mariah Carey on track for No. 1 debut
EmptyNEW YORK -- Mariah Carey looks certain to debut at No. 1 on next week's Billboard 200 with "E=MC2," based on massive first-day sales from the nine chains that report to Nielsen SoundScan's Building Chart.
Unweighted sales for the Island Def Jam album are at 154,000 units on the report released Wednesday. That's more than five times the total garnered by the current chart-topper, Leona Lewis' "Spirit" (Syco/J).
By comparison, Carrie Underwood's "Carnival Ride" (Arista Nashville) had first-day sales of 150,000 and wound up shifting 527,000 in its first week.
Billboard estimates that the merchants who report to the Building Chart -- Trans World Entertainment, Starbucks, Best Buy, Circuit City, iTunes, Border's, Target, Anderson Merchandisers, and Handleman Co. -- represent 80% of the U.S. retail market.
Carey's last release, 2005's "The Emancipation of Mimi," debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 404,000 copies.

Trevor Hoffman: Everything we've ever done is exactly perfect
Baseball is a perfect delicate flower that can do no wrong:
What if the scoring rules were changed so that, say, if a starter leaves after seven innings with a lead, the bullpen blows it, but the team regains the lead for good in its next at-bat, the official scorer has the discretion to award the win to the starter?
Baseball's all-time saves leader did not think much of the idea.
"I think it's trying to reinvent the wheel as far as statistics are concerned," Padres closer Trevor Hoffman said. "It's not the way statistics have been run thus far."
This is why blogs, or at least someone with backbone needs media access. To ask, "Ok, yes, indeed, games have been scored this way for awhile. But isn't it still obviously, grossly, unfair and wrong?" No? Nobody's going to ask that?
Just as funny is the way we bend over ass-backwards to make up for the complete crapulence of Wins and Saves. Instead of using qualifiers "hard luck losses" and the like, can't we just admit they were bad ideas to begin with and just fix the problem?
Why do I feel the need to ask so many rhetorical questions?
Bonus points: Leave a comment using only rhetorical questions. Super bonus points if it's extra snarky.

NEWBURGH — Just a few years ago, East Parmenter Street was one of those blocks you didn't want to be caught going down at night.
NEWBURGH — Just a few years ago, East Parmenter Street was one of those blocks you didn't want to be caught going down at night.
Grass grew through the cracks in the sidewalks and many windows were just gray plywood. Condemned buildings were burned-out shells without roofs, and locals remember a garbage-dumping ground with prostitution and drugs.
"It was dubbed 'crack alley,'" said Cathy Collins, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh.
But on a bright, warm day, more than 500 people took part Sunday in the annual Walk For Housing, past homes on East Parmenter and other streets transformed by Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh.
They walked with a purpose: to raise funds for the nonprofit Habitat and dedicate five new homes on the once-blighted street. More than $45,000 was raised, said Collins, not including checks or credit card donations.
Stephanie Faucher, a mother of three and homeowner on East Parmenter, moved to the block in 2010. She said that before the restoration, she was scared to move there. Now, she said, she not only feels safe, but has noticed young people there go from vandalizing the block to criticizing those who try to mess with the community.
"We look out for one another. I can't wait for everyone to move in," said Faucher. "You take care of it because you never had any land before."
The five new homes dedicated Sunday bring the number of homes restored by Habitat on East Parmenter — the historic neighborhood near Washington's Headquarters — to 14, said Collins.
Many of the block's residents have moved in since Parmenter Mews Inc., a development partnership, began acquiring and renovating buildings in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Habitat has built on that upswing.
Rasheem Weir watched as people marched down the block past him on South Johnston Street, about a block away from the new homes. Polishing an old deli slicer in front of a mechanics shop where he sometimes works, Weir said the stretch of East Parmenter has improved. "It used to be dark. People used to be robbed over there," said Weir.

President Barack Obama will visit the Bay Area next month, a White House official said Wednesday, marking his second fundraising visit in six months.
The president is expected to visit Seattle before coming to the Bay Area on Sept. 25. He then will visit the San Diego and Los Angeles areas Sept. 26, and the Denver area Sept. 27 before returning to Washington, D.C.
The White House has not announced events, but the Hollywood Reporter reported Tuesday that Obama will attend two Los Angeles-area fundraisers: a large, low-priced event at the House of Blues on Sunset Boulevard and a smaller, high-priced event at the Fig & Olive restaurant on Melrose Place, both in West Hollywood.
The president last visited the Bay Area in April for three fundraisers in San Francisco: a high-priced dinner at the Presidio Heights home of SalesForce.com CEO Marc Benioff; a rally-style event at the Masonic Auditorium atop Nob Hill; and a breakfast at the St. Regis Hotel. He also conducted an online town hall meeting at Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto.
Michelle Obama followed up with a Bay Area visit in June, her first solo visit to the area.
In a recent survey, the Public Policy Institute of California found Obama's approval rating at 52 percent among all adult Californians; 51 percent among registered voters and 48 percent among likely voters, with a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

Exporting a car from Canada to the United States involves filling out the appropriate U.S. Customs and Border Patrol forms and making sure the vehicle meets U. S. safety and emission standards. It is also advisable to get temporary insurance from the province where the vehicle was purchased.
The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol forms are used to verify the vehicle being exported and for the vehicle inspection. Vehicles made in Canada or the U.S. are exempt from custom duties. Other vehicles being exported must pay import duties, but a returning U.S. resident may use customs' exemption credits towards the price. As of 2015, that exemption is $400.00 per person and all family members may use their exemption towards the duty fee.
U.S. Customs requires the driver and occupants to enter the border crossing building while the vehicle is inspected. The process usually takes about 30 minutes if there are no issues. In accordance with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the vehicle must be pest-free. Getting the car steam-sprayed or washed before crossing will avoid unnecessary delays. Letters or forms from the vehicle seller are needed to verify the vehicle has the required EPA approved emission equipment installed.
The temporary Canadian insurance covers the vehicle until it crosses the border, and is wise even if the vehicle is covered by a U.S. policy. Once back home, the vehicle needs registration, which in some states also means passing a smog inspection.

You are doing great and probably better than 99% of the new owners so don't worry about a thing.
In general it is good to run in an engine in varying conditions. Remember that if you decide to sell your car after say 100.000 kilometers all you're run in efforts are mostly beneficial for the next owner and not to you!

Re: ARTICLE: How to Run-In your new car
I have booked the Grand i10 Asta(o) Diesel from MCP Hyundai, Thrissur. Hopefully I will get the delivery on Mar 20. I am a bit worried about my new car's breaking-in process. Problem is that as soon as i get the car delivered i need to take it to Bangalore from Thrissur due to work reasons.
I know that driving on a highway during break-in with constant rpm is bad. Any suggestions that I should take care of while i take the car to Bangalore? I am a bit skeptical about the whole thing and i really want to run-in the new car properly. But getting back in time to Bangalore is of utmost importance.
Thanks in advance

Re: ARTICLE: How to Run-In your new car
^^ No worries. Just follow these:
a) Don't be in a hurry. Take ample time for the trip.
b) Stay within speed / RPM limits for each gear.
c) Don't drive at a constant speed. Drive between 60 and the maximum permissible break-in speed, by not sticking to one speed more than half an hour at a stretch.
d) Take a small break after every couple of hours of running. Be mindful of where you fill the fuel en route. It will be best to fill the tank at a trusted pump before you start.
There is a school of thought which says modern cars don't require break-in. But they generally give the advice for others' cars!

Re: ARTICLE: How to Run-In your new car
Try and vary speed and RPMs safely on the highway. You just need to be gentle. When the engine is cold do not rev it in trying to build up speed on the highway. Also when overtaking, it is too easy to put it into 3rd gear and rev it up for the overtake. Try and avoid that. Don't worry too much about it. After all in the developed countries all the new cars run a lot on the highways when new. Modern engines are a lot sturdier and less prone to abuse (the ECU helps).

Re: ARTICLE: How to Run-In your new car
My question is:
1.) For Gi10(D) the max torque range is 1500-2750 and max HP limit is 4000. Wouldn't driving between 2K-3K, strain the engine as the engine would be producing max torque it's capable of.
2.) As the manual says donot idle engine for more than 3min, so what i do at traffic lights/jams is, rev the engine to around 2K RPM intermittently so that i comply to rule 3 but while doing this, i violate rule 4 which says donot race the engine. So, is revving to 2K-3K OK? and what the manual means is donot race to redline?
Please advise!

ARTICLE: How to Run-In your new car
Just because you are running the engine between 1500 - 2750 doesn't mean it is producing the max torque. It really depends, if you are flooring the accelerator in this range maybe. If you are driving at a steady pace, you will be way lower.
The main reason for being careful with the revs is the running in (seating) of the piston rings against the liner/piston grooves and to some lesser degree bearings. Needs to be done with the right amount of lubrication and thats why long low revs and high revs are slightly worse. If anything I would shut the engine off before revving up! Its only a 1000 km so soon it will all be behind you anyway.
Also, not adhering to these run in instructions is unlikely to show up for the first 100-150.000 km, unless you really go completely mental and go pedal to the metal all the way for the first 1000 kilometers.
just drive very relaxed, dont worry and enjoy your new car, even for those first 1000 km.

Re: ARTICLE: How to Run-In your new car
I'm getting my first diesel sedan (Ford Classic) next week and being a petrol engine owner (Alto) I need some clarification in running in my new ride. I don't intend to go too much into the specifics, speaking about the fundamentals only, this is what I intend to do
- Idle the engine 30-60 secs before the days first usage (I don't have to do it for every start right?)
- Lower the RPM atleast 1 min before coming to a halt/ Idle it for 30-60 secs before the days last usage (Right?)
- Don't rev hard/ go beyond 2200 mark for the first 2500 kms/ First service
- Change the engine oil after first 1000 kms (Right?)
Any other stuff that I missed?

Congratulations first for the Fiesta. Brilliant car.
REPEAT this for every start when engine is cold and when the engine is already hot due to previous drive just idle for 10-15 seconds so that lubrication reaches all places.
If your last drive was spirited then, idle for 35 - 45 seconds.
Drive sedately and gradually increase speeds rather than bursts of acceleration and no hard braking too. Remember to continually vary speeds and NOT to drive at a constant speed.
Till first 1000 kms keep the maximum speed between 60 - 70 kmph. Increase the speed and maximum RPM by 1500 every 1000 kms.
Most important part: Enjoy the drive and the car. I know it is terribly painful to complete the Run-in period but it is fun.

Re: ARTICLE: How to Run-In your new car
If i keep 60-70 in 5th, the engine just about starts lugging and gear change indicator asks to shift to 4th gear.
As per hyundai, there is no limit on speed, but they do limt RPM in 2K-3K range.
I would suggest RiGOD to follow your owners manual with regards to run-in instructions for engine RPM limits and speed. If following 60Kmph speed limit in 5th is lugging your engine, it's very bad for your engine. You should drive at optimum engine RPM's indicated in your manual.

Re: ARTICLE: How to Run-In your new car
Just follow the manual, for everyting, that means running in your engine, maintenance and maintenance interval and whether you need to idle your engine before shutting down in order to cool down the turbo.
There is a saying: "if all fails consult the manual". But really, you should consult the manual first and stick to it. Nobody on this forum, or any car forum for that matter, has any more valuable information to add to it, especially on new cars. At least for these sort of very basic things.
It is just an endless collecton of well intended, opinions. Obviously, this is just my opinion.
A few other thoughts on running in. If you intend to own your car for say 3-6 years, sell it on after say 100-135.000km, the running in, and a lot of your maintenance will go a long way to make the next owner very happy. Wear and tear on an engine, unless really abused over a longer time, takes quite a while to take noticable effect.
The one thing you want to try and go easy on as well the first 1000 kilometer is the brakes. Again, consult your manual, but brake rotors and pads need to settle in as well. It takes a while before they deliver the best/optimum stopping power. Your manual might say something like avoid emergency stops. I never understood that. If you need to stop suddenly you should of course, even if it is in the first 10 kilometers you put on your brand new car. Of course, the idea is to try and avoid puttting yourselve in a situation where you might have to execute an emergency stop.
Enjoy your new car! Sounds like you're a carefull owner and that's most likely more than good enough!

Re: ARTICLE: How to Run-In your new car
Note: Since I don't want to give wrong advice to new owners based on my experience, I have asked the MODS to delete my earlier post. Why mis-guide someone the wrong way.
Here is what I do according to owners manual of my Ritz DDiS and Swift DDiS. Though speeds are not mentioned, I put them based on my experience (Sorry for that once again).
60-70 kmph in the DDiS would be between 1600-1700 RPM that is well above engine lugging range. I feel the Fiesta Classic would also have similar engine characteristics if NOT same. That the owner can judge himself by understanding whether the engine is lugging and where it is OK.

DENVER–Coloradans may have voted to legalize recreational marijuana use for adults, but don't fire up the Bob Marley albums just yet.
Marijuana is still an illegal drug under the federal Controlled Substances Act, and federal law still trumps state law. Colorado lawmakers acknowledged Wednesday that they need to discuss the passage of Amendment 64 with federal officials, starting with the Justice Department.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said he hoped to speak with Attorney General Eric Holder this week. The Democratic governor opposed Amendment 64 during the election, but said Wednesday that he would respect the will of the voters.
"I think most people know I didn't support the initiative, but you can't argue with the will of the voters," said Hickenlooper at a Wednesday press conference. "Voters were pretty clear about this. So in terms of the state, it's decriminalized. We will not be prosecuting people on a state-law basis. Again, that's the issue is the federal law."
A second state, Washington, also voted to decriminalize recreational marijuana use for adults 21 and older in Tuesday's election.
"My sense on this is that it is unlikely the federal government is going to allow states one by one to unilaterally decriminalize marijuana, but I have not heard that from Eric Holder," said Hickenlooper. "We'll have to see what his opinion is on that."
Attorney General John Suthers, who also opposed Amendment 64, issued a statement Wednesday saying he would also consult with federal officials.
"Despite my strongly held belief that the 'legalization' of marijuana on a state level is very bad public policy, voters can be assured that the Attorney General's Office will move forward in assisting the pertinent executive branch agencies to implement this new provision in the Colorado Constitution," said Suthers.
He called on the Justice Department "to make known its intentions regarding prosecution of activities sanctioned by Amendment 64 (particularly large wholesale grow operations) as soon as possible in order to assist state regulators and the citizens of Colorado in making decisions about the implementation of Amendment 64."
Reuters reported Wednesday night that Kevin Sabet, a former Obama drug-czar adviser, predicted the ballot victory would be "short-lived."
"They are facing an uphill battle with implementing this, in the face of . . . presidential opposition and in the face of federal enforcement opposition," Sabet said.
The Justice Department issued a statement Wednesday emphasizing that federal anti-drug enforcement "remains unchanged."
"We are reviewing the ballot initiatives and have no additional comment at this time," said the statement.
The amendment calls for the General Assembly to establish a taxation and regulatory framework by July 1. The measure also directs the legislature to propose a 15 percent surtax on marijuana sales that would go before the voters as required by the Taxpayers Bill of Rights.
The first $40 million raised would go toward a public-school construction fund, but Suthers noted that "such revenue is speculative and will not be forthcoming when Amendment 64 begins to be implemented."
After the presidential race, Amendment 64 was the hottest post-election topic in the nation.
Officials at Major League Baseball and the National Football League told reporters that the measure would not change their anti-drug policies after several players sent out messages on Twitter cheering the vote.
Amendment 64 was approved by a margin of 53 to 47 percent. On election night, Hickenlooper issued what may be the most memorable press release of his career: "This will be a complicated process, but we intend to follow through. That said, federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug so don't break out the Cheetos or Goldfish too quickly."

2.5.1 • 12 Mar 2006
Standalone identd server.
Developer website: Gallerand Sebastien
Since Mac OS X 10.3, there is no identd server on the system. So I've decided to build a standalone identd server. This server runs on Tiger and is provided with a preference pane which allows you to easily start or stop it. This identd server returns the short username of the user which is currently logged in Aqua.
This kind of server could be useful if your Mac is behind a proxy server which requires authentication or when you use IRC.
What's New
Verison 2.5.1:
- recompiled and now run on Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher
- tested on an Intel based iMac
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later
