A commentary on the case of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, convicted of the murder of 270 people in the Pan Am 103 disaster.

Megrahi release row Salmond's darkest day
Speaking on the day he became Scotland's longest-serving First Minister, the SNP leader said he would not be going "on and on" in the role, a reference to Lady Thatcher's famous 1987 post-election interview.
His comments prompted speculation that Mr Salmond could be ready to walk away if he loses the 2014 referendum, but he insisted he had no immediate plans to quit.
The SNP leader officially overtook Lord Jack McConnell yesterday as the longest-serving First Minister as he completed 2,002 days in office.
Asked about his darkest day, Mr Salmond said that governments must deal with "political stooshies" but he added: "The Megrahi issue. I believe, absolutely, Kenny MacAskill took the right decision and for the right reasons and I think that was vindicated. But during that particular stooshie, which had Scottish and international implications, there were some difficult days.
"But if you're doing the right things, and you believe you've done the right things, then that's a great strength, and of course the election was vindication of that.
"People said the SNP government would never survive taking that decision. In fact, we survived to prosper."
Mr Salmond, who will turn 58 next month, has been First Minister since May 2007, after making a dramatic comeback as SNP leader in 2004.

I'm afraid that just means that people back then didn't attach much importance to the case - and if they didn't then, they certainly won't now. That will be the government's calculation: they can ignore concern over the conviction of Megrahi as nothing can come of it.
No credit given for the bravery of the act even if you contention is that "not many people attached much importance" to it? And BTW why does no one including Prof Black ever suggest that the Scottish Government have probably been told by the Yanks "take this any further and we"ll crucify you"? I'd put my house on it!!!ReplyDelete
"No credit given for the bravery of the act"ReplyDelete
None whatever - it was a cowardly act. Your penultimate sentence is correct.
Behind the scenes the American, British and Scottish Governments supported Megrahi's release, because they were desperate to avoid his appeal from being heard.ReplyDelete
Their solution was to blackmail Megrahi by telling him to drop his appeal if he wanted to see his family again before he died.
This is why his release by the SNP for allegedly compassionate reasons was a safe thing to, because there was no fear of American and British reprisals.
Indeed I presume Salmond won some policy concessions for his co-operation?
The only hard bit for Salmond was having to 'bite his lip' when being denounced by US media and Unionists for a decision that had the support of the American and British Governments.
I'd say you called it closest Dave.ReplyDelete
Nevertheless, shame on Salmond and, especially, shame on MacAskill who went even further when he sneaked in extra "safeguards", in his "emergency legislation" after Cadder, to ensure any new appeal could be kicked into touch by a judge because he stripped the SCCRC of its power to refer a case straight back to the appeal court.
It is quite something to consider that it was an SNP government who did this in order to serve the best interests of successive London governments who began, and continued, the deceit over Lockerbie. What the price of the SNP's treacherous decision was to do this is hard to imagine but I hope it was worth it for Salmond although, personally, if the nearly 300 dead at Lockerbie come back to haunt him it will be no more than he deserves.
The SCCRC was set up, via an Act of Parliament, to review cases "without political or judicial interference". Shame on the SNP that they set that Act of Parliament aside in order to dance to a London tune over Lockerbie. Shame on them that since the SCCRC delivered its conclusions regarding the second appeal the case has suffered political and judicial interference on a scale that is truly shocking.
The irony of having to suffer an outraged Salmond raving about the Supreme Court "interfering" in Scottish Affairs is not easily described. For he clearly had no such qualms when following London orders when setting aside the right of nearly 300 dead people and their families to know the truth behind their murder. He also had no qualms about denying a man, by then a very sick man, who was wrongly convicted to have his day in court.
There are things I believe UK governments capable of but I will say I thought Salmond was better than that. But in fact, over Lockerbie, he is actually worse.

Salman asks who is breaking unity of his team? Manveer says Swami because he change his colors everytime and then i have doubt on Niti, she thinks we dont listen to her, she wants everyone to listen to her, during task there is no unity. Niti says Manu and Manveer are dominating, they have good bond and they are strong physically, volume, they put across their point of view strongly and when i try to give my opinion, they take it on ego and crash it. Swami says Manu and Manveer keep provoking us against celebs, i love everyone but they use abusive langauge to provoke us, they dominate with their voice and strength, they want me to not talk to celebs, team is one thing but they are humans and i will keep talking to them, all are equal to me, i will love all, if they stop provoking then there would be unity. Manu says Swami is crazy, i cant say anything against him, all clap, Swami says see this man, Manu says all are clapping for me, all laugh, Manu says this man has eaten brains, i would get mad trying to explain things to me, he just keep backbiting about us, he is always talking behind our backs, Swami says nothing is hidden from Bigg boss and greatest hero, Salman snickers, Manu says sir do something about him, Swami says i went to jail everytime. Salman asks Manveer, Manveer says they said everything, just copy paste, all laugh, Manveer says this man is weird, he is talking to bigg boss, talking about missiles and all and he doesnt know a thing in task. Swami says i want to learn things from homely people like them but not by using abusive language. Manu says i want to know if its celebs vs. commoners vs. Swami, all clap, Swami says all are brothers, i am slave of all, Manveer says what kind of slave are you? Salman says Manu and Manveer you are saying Swami is crazy but what about Niti? Manu says whenever i talked to Niti, i listened to her, i never raised my voice on her, ask her, we listen everything she says, in task we ate what she wanted to eat, we do what she wants, i know my voice is loud but i keep unity. Salman says MANU AND MANVEER ARE SAFE, indians are voting for you. Manu says it seems like i am not doing wrong.
Salman says caller will call now. Call is connected to caller Nikesh, Nikesh says i want to ask Niti that i feel you have double standards, when Manveer said something against you, you said Manveer doesnt have manners to talk with women but when Manveer misbehaved with Lopa, you supported Manveer and ignored his misbehavior, Niti says i got this in my mind, i saw he asked Lopa to move on only, i dont think it was disrespect of woman, i took Manveer's side which shows i dont keep personal grudge as i had argument with Manveer earlier, call ends. Salman says to Niti that you reacted when Manveer misbehaved with you and then Manveer misbehaved with Lopa in exact manner, it was exactly same, and i didnt like what he did with Lopa, the way he pointed her to move away was disrespectful, Manveer has to keep this in mind, these topics are touchy, it goes on like how he talks with women, when it is shown on TV, its get caught, remember what gestures you are making, Manveer says yes. Salman asks Lopa if she thought Niti didnt support her? Lopa says first thing i am self sufficient, i dont need support of anyone, i raise my voice when i find things wrong, i saw Niti getting angry when Manveer misbehaved with her but she was giving me advise that Manveer was in character, she does differentiate between her and others but maybe she was supporting as team member, but i wouldnt have done it.
Salman asks Bani who will not be evicted? Bani says Mona will be safe. Salman says BANI YOU ARE SAFE, Bani thanks him, Salman says MONA, SWAMI and NITI ARE NOMINATED now, he ends call.
In bigg boss house:
Mona hugs Manu, she says i am happy for you, he says i am happy for you, i know you will be saved. Mona says to Gaurav that i was expecting my whole team to vote against me, Gaurav says why were you expecting that? you keep thinking we are wrong with you, we are tired to explaining, we call you and explain everything with respect but you dont listen and think that we dont like you, we cant do anything. Mona says i am friendly, if you had that nature then i would be friends you, Gaurav says you take things wrong way, Mona says i cant raise voice like you, Manu says sometime people dont connect, Gaurav says its not bad thing.
Lopa says to Manu that my team's girls voted out for me and Karan voted out me in nominations.

Manu says if i think you are wrong then i will say you are wrong but Manveer will say that you are going wrong a little, Manveer is my brother but let me tell you that i get irritated with him sometimes, i can do anything for Lokesh, i have called her sister so i cant sacrifice her now as i have to face my family and public.

Farhan calls Lopa, she has got film name "naagin(Serpent/female snake)", she says i dont think i should give it to anyone, Bani says i wonder who will get it.

Excerpt from Chapter 8, "THE LEGEND OF 'EL DIABLO'."
Introducing the first Children's Book about Savannah Cats:
"Then he lunged at me, but I was ready for him. I jumped straight up and landed on the high wall. When I looked down, I saw a very angry and confused coyote. He said, 'What's this? How did you do that?'"
Excerpt from Chapter 7, "OUT THE WINDOW TO FREEDOM:"
"As I jumped out onto the roof, I heard my humans running up the stairs. I quickly jumped up onto the top of the house. Oh, it was the most glorious feeling!"
The Adventures Of Songha is a 66 page chapter book for children from ages 8-12, and for cat lovers of all ages. It is the fictionalized story of my F-1 Queen, Songha, complete with many beautiful illustrations and lots of exciting adventures, from her daring escape through an upstairs window, to a confrontation with a notorious wild coyote. And the story is told by Songha herself, giving everyone a "cat's-eye" view into the heart and soul of this unusual exotic feline.
While it is a children's story, it is also meant to familiarize people with these rare and beautiful cats. As Savannah cats are a relatively new breed, most people know nothing about them. I have found that when I do book signings, the majority of people that I meet have never seen a Savannah cat.
This little book is endearing everyone to these adorable, bright, and absolutely awesome pets. It is a great unique gift to give to any cat lover , and of course it would be a book that children will treasure.
Here are some excerpts from the book and also some of the wonderful illustrations that help make the story come to life.

Pat Tritle's "Marina" Build
OK, so I am a diehard airplane guy. But, I've been lurking in the boat forums for a long time. I happen to love boats, but just never felt I had the skills to build one. I don't know why, but they always look a lot more complicated than airplanes, to me.
So I decided I would build one. I have my heart set on building a Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout. My family owned a mahogany Chris Craft back in the 50's and 60's (yes, I'm that old). After getting the kit, I looked at it, and having read all the build threads here, I decided the CC should be my 2nd boat, and that I needed something else with which to "stick my toes in the water". So I began a hunt here and elsewhere for "beginner" kits. While I have nothing against foam and plastic (I own one foam airplane), I really wanted to do a wood boat.
After a lot of searching, I found some boats at Dare Hobbies that looked like they fit the bill. Small, wood, laser cut, and advertised as easy to build. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Pat Tritle was the designer! I have built a number of Pat's airplanes, and have always found him to be extraordinarily helpful with his knowledge and advice, not to mention his good humor. I religiously read all of his airplane build threads, and think I have read most, if not all, of his boat build threads as well.
The next thing I did was to do a search here for build threads on the Tritle-designed Dare boats. I was surprised to find absolutely nothing. So I wrote Pat an email, and asked him about the designs. He responded that he thought they would be a good first foray into wood boat building. He also offered (thanks, Pat!) to keep an eye on a build thread, and respond with suggestions and corrections.
I would also encourage all of the experts who frequent these forums to weigh in as the spirit moves you. All contributions will be gratefully accepted. I am in awe of much of the work that appears in the boat forums, especially the scale forum.
So, what is the Marina? It's an 18" "Sport scale" Sport Fisherman. Speed 400 powered (I have several of those on hand), using a micro servo for rudder (I plan on an HS-55, of which I also have a bunch sitting around).
As Pat told me, the kits are from his "pre computer days". The kit includes two nicely hand drawn plan sheets (full size), all the wood and running hardware. A few scale touches include a ship's wheel, cleats and a plastic scoop for the foredeck.
This morning I opened up the box, read through the instructions a couple of times, studied the plans a bit, labeled the parts, tacked one of the plan sheets to my board, rolled up my sleeves and started building.
The first pic is of the built up keel and the sheer. The second pic shows the formers (do boat folks call them formers?) attached to the sheer, the keel in place, and the chine stringers in place, along with the transom. Next up is to sand everything so the chines, keel and former all are as even as I can get them. After that, the hull is sheeted, bottom first and than the sides.
So, my first question for the experts: When sheeting a hull, do you make a pattern and cut the sheets accordingly, or do you glue the sheeting in place, and then cut to match the chine and the sheer? I've done airplanes both ways, but I wonder if there is a preferred methodology. Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated!
This may be my first foray into model boats, but it will not be my last. I plan on being a regular here, time and disposable income permitting.
Not everyone does it the way I do so I will only offer my method. I take manila stock and make a template then cut the material. That way I can place the template on either side of the keel to make sure I don't vary my hull.
This is really a personal decison, how ever you feel most commfortable working is the best for you.
Pat's kits look like a good choice for a first time boat builder. Good luck on your build. I look forward to seeing your progress.
Thanks, Don and Kmot. It's nice to stop lurking here! Don, after I finished up my post #1, I actually pulled out an old manilla file folder and traced out the keel to the chine on it for the bottom sheeting. I haven't cut it out yet, or trimmed it up, but I figured that a template would probably be the way to go, given the compound curves. Better to make errors on paper. Especially in the bow where the sheeting is going to have to curve upwards.
I sincerely appreciate the interest and advice. Please keep it coming.
hello buzz, i am building PATS daphne , i am sure its the exact same hull as yours, they look idenical, bouth 18 inches, i am new to boats also but have built rc planes for years, i sheeted my hull with balsa , but i used a balsa block and sanded to shape at the bow section to make that part easyer, ill be glassing mine next week if we get a warm enough day, i really like the Marina also , keep us posted on your progress
Buzz, Glad to see you got started on the Marina. Will be following the thread to see how things are going.
Larry, Yes, the Marina, Daphne, and Miss Stephanie hulls are all identical. The 3 designs use different decks on a common hull design. As a matter of fact, I still run the Marina hull, using the different decks from time to time, just to keep it interesting.
Welcome to the boats section, Buzz! I'll look forward to seeing this one come together!
Mark, Thought I might offer a suggestion that will make skinning the hull a bit easier -- if you're not already too far along.
Anyhow, the sides can be skinned in one continuous sheet from stem to stern, but making the curve up front can be challenging. I use watter and steam to pull mine around. Another way is to run the grain vertically on at least the front two bays, though a vertical grain all the way back is also acceptable.
Hope this helps.
In one of your other boat threads you talked about steaming planks with your covering iron, so I will give that a go if I can't soften the wood up enough with soaking. If that fails, I'll look at doing the sides in a couple of pieces. I have plenty of 1/16" balsa sheet on hand, so that wouldn't be a problem.
Thanks again for the thoughts and advice. I appreciate it!
Hi Mark, I'm John, Brad's friend. I have said to Brad many times that I want to build a boat. I will follow this thread through each step and learn as much as I possibly can. I too have a love for boats and own a boat now. I will build a boat as soon as I feel confident in my building experience. I have so much to learn.
Keep up the awesome work Mark!!
Hi, John. Thanks for the kind thoughts. I appreciate them. This is my first attempt at a wood boat, so I am at the steep part of the learning curve at this point.
I finished up sheeting the hull yesterday. Pic 1 is of the bottom sheeting, and pic 2 is of the completed sheeting.
I had some clamp marks and depressions in the balsa, so I spackled them up and sanded them down. Next time I'll put some scrap between the clamps and the sheets/planks. Lesson learned. Any thoughts on the hull thus far? The sheer lies flat on the building board, so I don't think the sheeting process caused any twists in the hull. I had a few gaps which have been filled with epoxy and spackle, and sanded down. The hull has been sanded with 100 and 220 grit, at this point, and seems pretty smooth.
Next I have to glue on the second transom piece, and sand it to shape. After that, the instructions call for installing the prop shaft and rudder tubes. However, one of my goals for building this kit is to get some experience with fiberglassing. I have virtually no experience with fiberglassing. I've ordered up some fg cloth and West System epoxy, due in sometime next week.
So, a question for Pat (or anyone else who would like to respond): Should I wait to install the through hull bits until after the fiberglassing has been done?
It would seem to me that I would get a better fit that way at the outer hull joint. But I'm open to suggestions from the experts. Looking forward to the fiberglassing, I'm assuming that it will be done in four pieces: bottom, transom, and one each for the sides.
Also, if I am reading/understanding the plans correctly, the entire deck is removable (correct, Pat?). If that's the case, I would think I could continue on with building the deck, even if the hull has not been fiberglassed/finished.
I would install the stuffing tube and get it all aligned before glassing the hull. That way you end up with a nice tight seal.
As for glassing, I cut a piece of cloth big enough to go over the entire hull with some hanging over the edge. Glass cloth will conform to the hulls surface so you can do all of the surfaces at once. You might have to do some trimming of the cloth to get around those square edges on the transom.

Not bad for a prototype!
My prototype was a wrap for my aunts birthday. Knitted in a fine natural silver DK, it gave me a very good idea of how the finished fabric would perform. The drape is seductive & this will only be accentuated by the supple Alpaca. I have a few design additions I am going to make for my wrap, but even if I didn't make those changes, I have to say it was hard to part with the prototype. A project I would recommend if you want some quick 'WOW' factor knitting.
'Peacock in the Parlour' by Knitsch
I also received in the past few weeks my first installment from the Knitsch yarn club. An intense Peacock semi solid, so pressing all my buttons! The base yarn (A Merino Supersock) is one I know very well, manufactured by my place of work, so I am naturally completely bias & what Tash has done with her inspiring dye job left me scrambling for the needles ASAP. For those who know me, I'm not a sock knitters asshole, honestly I suck. An affliction I have a resolution to cure this year, but not with the Peacock. This yarn was just too pretty to be stuffed on my feet & jammed into flailing footwear, it deserved to be shown off.
I have made some alterations to the Louisa Harding Fingerless Mitts pattern. By changing to 3.00mm & 3.25mm needles, adding 4 more stitches at the cast on & increasing two more rounds in the thumb & hand the mitts transitioned from DK to 4ply effortlessly. The results are wonderful, sock yarn is great as an alternative, smoother & less bulky to wear. I was also stunned to see the mitts just used 38gm of the 120gm of yarn, so I have embarked on a scarf version of the 'Sunday Market' to complete knitted peacock flock.
KAN Update
I have closed registrations (unless you do a unprecedented amount of grovelling & bribery). Accommodation placements are being sorted through & I endeavour to have a note out to all who have registered in the next few days. It's only a month away, how EXCITING!

For four generations, Rome Monument has been creating memorials and monuments for the families of the various religious denominations living in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, and Western Pennsylvania. Browse pictures of monuments and memorials that Rome Monument has designed, built and installed in cemeteries for families that practice the Catholic, Christian, Jewish and Orthodox religions. We are frequently called on to design memorials that use traditional religious symbols, designs and imagery as well as custom artwork created by the families themselves with the help of our monument designers. Along with your personal epitaphs and inscriptions, these designs are skillfully hand etched, laser etched or engraved onto granite gravestones, headstones, cemetery markers and monuments. Depending on the family member you are memorializing, the memorial designers at Rome can suggest artwork and imagery that reflects your deep and everlasting love. Cemeteries in Pittsburgh often permit the use of a wide variety of monument types to mark the place where an individual is buried.
Browsing religious monuments designs is simple. Just click the images below—then learn more about any monument by requesting a price estimate or list, scheduling a showroom visit, asking a question, or contacting a designer. With just a click you can share designs with family, or place an order online or by phone. Talk with a designer at Rome Monument by calling 724-770-0100 to learn about your monument shape and design options for a memorial for a family member. Monuments are available for most Pittsburgh area cemeteries and memorial parks in Allegheny County and Western Pennsylvania.

And of course every time I try to get a screenshot, it's working fine.
Anyhow, I pull up a transporter, click on multiple selection, and it brings up the list of transporters, but not all of them. Like I have 4 solid, 4 liquid and 4 gas right now. It'll only show 2 or 3 of them.
If I close that, and try again with a different truck, I'll get a different list.
The other way of getting the same unpredictable results is to click on a resource, for a race for example, and get a variety of different trucks but usually not all of them.
And since races are time sensitive, I'm usually in a hurry and it's frustrating. And unpredictable.

Oona is just copying the expression her mother wore all Memorial Day weekend.
Instagram and Facebook told me most of you spent the long weekend cooking out, going to the beach, watching parades and making all kinds of merriment. (My neighbors celebrated by shooting off fireworks after midnight every single night. When did Memorial Day fireworks become a thing?! I PROTEST!)
We chose to spend the weekend watching Matt do this:
And this:
We're building a new kitchen! Mostly Matt is, while I keep his children from their deaths in the middle of the construction site that was once our very, very green kitchen.
As much as I love watching my husband rip things up with crow bars and sledge hammers, watching with the kids (who were alternately terrified by the noise and fascinated with the most dangerous power tools,) was painful. It was dirty. It was noisy. I cried at least once a day, and then felt guilty because - new kitchen! So exciting! But man-oh-man, when you've got a baby not quite walking and a three year old who wants nothing more in life than to get his hands on a table saw, and those clouds of plaster dust to battle and no working kitchen for the time being...things get ugly fast.
Speaking of ugly...
Wallpaper! Matt gifted me the job of removing it. I promised I'd try to get to it during the 5 hour window in the middle of the night when all the children manage to synch their circadian rhythms and sleep at the same time.
We found some neat little bits and pieces from past residents. The milk bottle top is my favorite. The flower is an old fridge magnet!
By the time night fell on Monday night, Matt had things cleaned up enough to get us by for the rest of the week.
He even covered up the rough sub-floor with brown paper for us so we don't get splinters in our feet.
This is our kitchen for the next couple of months. Not too bad of a set up...except for the microwave being at baby-eye-height. In the last 24 hours a doll and a rubber ball have been saved in the nick of time from microwave death.
Prayers appreciated.

Foresight project: participants at the workshop in Slovenia look at the potential new and emerging OSH risks
The Foresight project and its findings on new and emerging occupational safety and health risks associated with digitalisation by 2025 served as the main subject at the dissemination workshop in Ljubljana, Slovenia in September 2018. Participants took note of the developments related to digital technologies and how they could affect workers' health in the future. In addition, they discussed how the scenarios, which show possible occupational safety and health (OSH) risks, can be used as a tool to develop policies and strategies addressing these challenges.
The event was organised by the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities of the Republic of Slovenia in cooperation with UK Health and Safety Laboratory and SAMI Consulting Limited.

Finding the Founders
Finding the Founders Scholarly Talks and Walking Tours
Visit the National Constitution Center and neighboring sites throughout Historic Philadelphia to join fascinating conversations with scholars, who will share their insights on equality and freedom through the lens of the American Revolution. The program will provide an expanded understanding of Independence Day—one that sees the holiday as both a celebration and an acknowledgment of America's ongoing struggle to achieve the ideals expressed in the nation's founding documents.

11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
Congress Hall, Independence National Historical park (Enter Park at 5th and Chestnut Streets)

Women in Revolutionary America
11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Betsy Ross House (239 Arch Street)
Join historian Sandra Lloyd to discover the important roles women played during revolutionary moments in our country's history. This exciting, family-friendly program will give you the chance to hear stories about remarkable yet little-known women from the past.

Meet at National Constitution Center (5th and Arch Streets)

Radicalism and Dissent in 1776
10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Independence Visitors Center (6th and Market Streets)
Dr. Jessica Roney of Temple University will discuss the contentious decision in 1776 in Pennsylvania to embrace independence. Why did Pennsylvania, which lagged behind sister colonies like Virginia and Massachusetts all through the 1760s and early 1770s, suddenly pole-vault them all to become the most radical new state of all? Her talk will look at the tensions between a radical new idea of patriotism and a principled dissent from that new vision.
Reminder Day and the LGBT Rights Movement
11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
National Constitution Center (5th and Arch Streets)

Before Coloradans went to their precinct caucuses last month, it looked like U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and former lieutenant governor Jane Norton were on their way to meeting in a combative and expensive race for Colorado's U.S. Senate seat. What a difference a month makes!
As the Constitutional Convention wrapped up in September 1786, a woman approached Benjamin Franklin and asked him, "Well, doctor, what have we got — a republic or a monarchy?"
"A republic," Franklin replied, "if you can keep it."

In many ways, the closest thing we have to a city council in Evergreen is the board of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District. While there are other special districts with elected boards here, the combination of EPRD's mission and the facilities it manages gives it a much more overreaching presence than other districts.
In many ways, the Canyon Courier is the lifeblood of our community. The Courier is the only comprehensive source of timely information about what is happening in Evergreen and what is happening to Evergreen. Without the Courier, there would be no way for most of us to know of the many important local issues that affect our health, safety, property taxes, property values and much more. The Courier is our only timely source of information about the behavior (and misbehavior) of our elected and unelected officials at the local and county level.
With precinct caucuses now in the books, the 2010 election season is officially under way. Caucuses are an important first step in the nominating process, through which each major party selects its nominees for the general election this fall.
With the exception of presidential nominations, there isn't much public attention given to the way parties pick their candidates. It's as though each November we're presented with a ballot listing a Democrat, a Republican and perhaps one or more third-party candidates, with the winner assuming public office.
With so much misinformation swirling about town, it is time to set the record straight with the facts about the Center for the Arts Evergreen and our collaboration with the Evergreen Park and Recreation District.
Dominick Paoloni will be giving President Obama a bit more time to actualize his campaign promises. He's disappointed about what hasn't been delivered yet — the public option, a return of civil liberties repressed during the Bush regime, and troops out of Iraq. With his expertise in finances, this Lookout Mountain resident is thinking (and that's refreshing) about why Obama has moved so far to the right of moderate.

The hCG Weight Loss Option is just not covered by insurance and has to be paid upfront at time of service. It allows us to begin your program on a rock solid foundation that comprises pharmaceutical acai berry sample of, homeopathic nutritional supplements, a customized diet plan, plus a committed weight reduction consultant. Folks taking HCG will find weight loss more around the hip, lower stomach area and thighs.
http://screen.yahoo.com/study-coffee-lowers-womens-risk-141228328.html?format=embed&player_autoplay=falseThis website provides weight loss direction information and is meant only to assist users in their private weight loss efforts. Although there isn't any dramatic weight-loss without the accompanying weight-loss program which goes hand-in-hand with prescribed medications, HCG usually causes a decrease in inches rather than pounds.
A minimum quantity of exercise is recommended not only for weight care, but in addition for the added health benefits. As an agency it's not in the medical business, but rather is a food and medicine product governing body. Any information provided on this website should not be regarded as medical advice or a substitute for a consultation having a physician.
The "off-label" use of products generally presents greater uncertainty about both the dangers and advantages because less information is available on security and effectiveness. 3x a day, The took the falls under my tongue (I got mine here, but some say the "homeopathic on-line" is not perfect–not sure why). The really don't know her personally, but she answered to my FB question, and she's completed 4 total rounds within the past 2 years.
Doctors sometimes recommend a very-low-calorie diet (under 1,000 calories per day) if someone is overweight and has a medical condition such as high blood pressure , but these diets are consistently carefully supervised by a doctor.
In combination using a nutritionally balanced low calorie diet, these supplements help activate the brain to burn stored fat, melting off the pounds. The natural hormone additionally reduces irritability (patients never feel "cranky" or "always hungry" due to limited caloric intake), enhances clarity of idea, and improves sleep. When administered in comparatively modest doses and coupled with a really low calorie diet, people normally lose 20-30 pounds in 30 days.
By restricting hunger and cravings, dieters can more easily maintain a low-calorie diet necessary for shedding excess pounds. Through an easy saliva test, the Pathway Fit program supplies information about over 100 genetic components that impact your general health and capability to slim down.
The combination of HCG plus a balanced 500-calorie diet will create a FAST and SAFE weight reduction, and the naturally induced energy and favorable mental state that come together with it. HCG is an FDA approved drug for fertility at higher doses, but is lawfully being used "off-label" at low doses for fat loss, following the first protocol of Dr. Simeons who detected this weight loss key over 50 years past.
The duration of our plan is 30 days, and comprises 4 weekly visits to the health care provider's office. Labs will not be contained in the purchase price, but we recommend bringing recent (no more than 1 year) lab work if available.
With it, we are able to guide you to the successful weight loss you have earned. With it, we are able to guide you to the successful weight loss you have earned. More recently, however, researchers have discovered that hCG can help the body burn more fat, and can be used to assist in weight loss when combined using a healthy, low-calorie diet.
Many men and women can use HCG injections for weight loss. Perhaps you are familiar with the term HCG regarding diet and weight loss, nevertheless let us go just a little further into how HCG came to be associated with weight loss. Weight loss changes between a half pound and three pounds per day , with all the average weight loss being one to two pounds a day.
It is not the very best idea to organize your weight decrease during the most stressful length of the entire year, after dealing with a prolonged sickness and so on. Getting enough rest also has positive effects on any diet.
It's present in every human tissue, including males and non-pregnant women, in addition to pregnant women. Furthermore, despite being on this kind of low-calorie food intake daily, patients did not feel hungry or without energy provided that they continued to receive small levels of HCG every day.
In the process, the weight loss comes directly from unhealthy, non essential, stored fat that will not strip the body of needed muscle or vitamins and minerals necessary to maintain good health, while in the exact same time, releasing excessive amounts of fat-stored nutrients (stored energy in the kind of calories) to the bloodstream to be consumed to be used by the body. This is due to our methodical strategy and not only addressing the extra weight.
One of the very most contentious methods followed by the HCG diet is using HCG through injection. HCG is a prescription drug and ought to be prescribed with a medical doctor. Thus, the shots are somewhat more effective for reaching your weight-loss targets.

NLRB Again Seeks to Shorten Union Election Timeframes
Wednesday, February 5, 2014 3:05 PM -
Donna Puglisi
ABC News
Politics & Policy
GA - Union Organizing
As expected, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)
Feb. 5 reissued a proposed rulemaking
that will reduce the amount of time between when a union files a representation petition and an election takes place from the current average of 38 days to as few as 10.
"This proposal is a solution in search of a problem," said ABC Vice President of Government Affairs Geoff Burr. "Unions already are winning 64 percent of elections and more than 94 percent of those elections occur within timeframes that exceed the NLRB's own goals related to election timeframes.
Some of the changes include:
requiring that any pre-election hearings begin within seven days of a hearing notice being served and that a post-election hearing be held within 14 days of the final tally of votes in the election;
forcing employers to identify and state any legal grounds for questioning the union petition almost immediately, or else they will not be entitled to a hearing;
deferring until after the election litigation for eligibility issues that involve less than 20 percent of the bargaining unit;
eliminating pre-election appeals of NLRB regional director rulings and requiring all appeals be included in a single post-election request;
reducing from 7 days to 2 days the amount of time an employer is allotted to provide a list of eligible voters;
requiring the voter list to be submitted electronically and include emails and phone numbers for the first time; and
requiring (with some exceptions) all parties and the NLRB to transmit election petitions and election notices electronically.
"Shortening the election period does nothing to ensure a fairer election and it is clearly not necessary to help the NLRB meet its self-imposed goal for election timeframes," Burr said. "In addition, it denies employers their rights to free speech and employees the opportunity to make a fully informed decision.
The reissued proposal is substantively similar to the original version from June 2011, which would have significantly changed the union representation election process by drastically shortening election timeframes, and included several other objectionable provisions. In August 2011, ABC and the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace (CDW), which ABC chairs, filed written comments in strong opposition to the rule (70,000 comments were received in total). Representatives from ABC, CDW and other business organizations also testified at a public stakeholder meeting in July 2011; however, the NLRB still issued a truncated version of the proposal as a final rule in December 2011.
Although the shortened version omitted several contentious provisions from the original proposal, it still remained highly objectionable to the employer community and CDW and other employer groups challenged it in court.. Following several significant employer-side victories on procedural grounds, the board ultimately withdrew the abbreviated final rule in January 2014. At the same time, NLRB Chairman Mark Pearce made it clear he intended to reissue the rule in its original form with a full, five-member board.
If finalized, the reissued ambush elections proposal would work hand in glove with the Department of Labor's (DOL) proposed persuader rule, which would deprive employees of their right to obtain balanced and informed input from both sides as they decide whether to be represented by a union. DOL plans to
finalize the persuader rule
as early as March 2014.
The NLRB is scheduled to officially
publish their proposal
in the Federal Register on Feb. 6. Stakeholder comments will be due on or before April 7, 2014. A public hearing also will take place during the public comment period at a date and time to be determined. ABC and CDW will continue to review the proposal and respond accordingly.

There are really a lot of people who can't stay in one place. For them, traveling is life! Are you one of them or maybe, do you want to be like one and is about to start a new journey? If that is the case, you should update yourself with the best places to visit.
This is where you will find the best pasta dishes such as spaghetti and carbonara. Not only that, some of the most famous cities in this country are just too hard to ignore such as Venice, Rome, Terra and still a lot more.
I guess there is no explanation needed here as almost all travelers would like to experience the luxurious life London can offer. The sunset of London alone is enough to make you feel enthralled. The architecture is fabulous as well. We went on a trip with our buddies from our buddies at https://www.concretemanteca.com, and they were pointing out how some of the oldest buildings were so perfectly constructed back in the day that they have held their beautiful looks. However, this country has a lot to offer and not only London.(more…)

Right. Bush dropped that off on the way to his whirlwind Mideast tour. "Serbia court tries 15 on terrorism charges," from Agence France-Presse:
BELGRADE - A court in Belgrade heard prosecutors accuse 15 suspected radical Islamists of running training camps and plotting assassinations inside the country, Beta news agency reported Monday.
The defendants organised a criminal group in order to jeopardize the security of Serbia by planning attacks against police and murders, deputy prosecutor Jovica Jovanovic said in his opening remarks, Beta reported.
The defendants face charges of terrorism and illegal possession of arms.
All but two defendants, believed to be followers of the radical Wahhabite sect of Islam, were arrested last year near Novi Pazar, the main town in the southern Sandzak region, which has a large Muslim population.
Prosecutors say they had set up secret camps in the region for terrorist and military training.
They also alleged that the defendants had planned both an attack against a police station in Novi Pazar and the murder of Muarem Zukorlic, a local mufti, or Muslim cleric.
Gee, they should know better than to misunderstand their religion like that.
Jovanovic said the group had close ties with fellow Islamists in neighbouring countries and several other countries.
The indictment alleged the group had asked their commanders in Bosnia, Saudi Arabia and Austria for approval to kill Zukorlicand had eventually decided to do so, Beta reported.
No attempt on Zukorlics life took place before the arrest of the suspects.
Jovanovic said that in a search of defendant Mehmedin Koljsis computer, police had found maps of Belgrade and photographs of several buildings in the capital including a hotel, a theatre and the US embassy.
At the end of the prosecutions opening remarks, the first defendant, Senad Ramovic, pleaded not guilty, state-run Tanjug news agency reported.
Ramovic said the indictment was based on hate towards Islam and Muslims, adding that it looked like it was written by (US President George W.) Bush or CIA agent Zukorlic, the mufti named as a target in the indictment.
Other defendants are expected to enter their plea in the coming days.
Wahhabis are followers of a fundamentalist movement in Sunni Islam as practised in Saudi Arabia, who insist that their beliefs are those of the first three generations of Muslims.
Although local media reports say that their presence has increased in the Balkans in recent years, experts believe that they are still marginal.
The authorities have blamed the radicalisation of Sandzak, whose 420,000 population is 45 percent Muslim, on tensions between two of the regions rival political parties.

Apple's (s aapl) recent tech note regarding third parties using iTunes' syncing has caused plenty of discussion. Should Apple "break" the Pre's ability to sync as an iPod? Why would Cupertino do this? The comments across the web vary in their opinions, so I'll throw mine in here as well.
First, it's no secret what I think of Palm's decision to hack its way into iTunes as an iPod. I also believe Apple should put a stop to it. But in a broader view, this isn't just about Palm (s palm) or the Pre.
Let's look at the three most common positions in this debate.
Apple hates competition
There are those who think Apple "breaking" the Pre's ability to sync is because Apple doesn't want competition. This is the view I have the least patience with, and disagree with the most.
I have no idea how these people define "competition," but I fail to see how any reasonable definition could possibly include not writing your own software, and instead hacking into someone else's. The whole competition angle is a red herring, in my opinion. It has nothing to do with that.
Grin and bear it
There are those who think Apple doesn't have to like it, but shouldn't waste the time or resources to put a stop to it.
Fair enough, I suppose, and if a large effort were required, there may be some value in this. But the details I've read seem to indicate the time needed would be pretty small. Seems to me it could be easily rolled into the next iTunes update and, with a new OS and iPhone model coming out now, the next bug fix release is likely to be pretty soon.
Close the hole that's being hacked
And there are those, like me, who think Apple should close the "loophole" that allows Palm to do this in the first place. I touched on why I think this before, but here's a summary:
- While third-party players can use iTunes (as a mass storage device), and many of them do, the "sync" capability is a differentiating feature Apple wrote and provides to iPods only. Common sense would suggest it's Apple's to allow (or not) for other devices. Palm's feigned surprise is disingenuous at best. Obviously Palm know it's a great feature or it wouldn't have hacked the software in the first place.
- The idea that someone can trick iTunes into being an iPod never came up before. One could argue it's a hole in iTunes that needs to be closed.
- Apple will get calls for support if this is not stopped and there are issues with Pre syncing. I would argue that the release note was more a preventative measure (though futile) against that than it was any specific warning to Palm, because no such warning should be required when a third party hacks your software — it ought be understood.
But there is another reason, one even more important than the others. Until now, no one exploited the hole because they didn't know about it. Palm had the advantage of lots of ex-Apple talent, so it knew just what to do. Good for Palm, but now that it's shown the smartphone world how to pull this off, what's to stop others from doing it as well?
In other words, forget the Pre, or even Palm. There's an exposure for iTunes here that could have BlackBerrys (s rimm), LGs, Nokias (s nok), etc. all passing themselves off as iPods. Again, the obvious question to me is that, having learned there's this hole in iTunes, Apple should take steps to close it. An iPod can be an iPod, and the rest can be, well, the rest. If they want seamless syncing, they can write their own software to do it.
I have no idea what Apple will do here. I've already stated I think the tech note is less a warning and more a preemptive "CYA," but a company that prides itself on customer service will not want to continually refer Pre owners to a tech note. To me, that's a short-term thing. Ultimately Apple needs to close that iTunes hole.

Hey, so nice that you're here to check some inspiration about a New Years Eve outfit! I teamed up with Kleding.nl and found my perfect New Years Eve outfit from Van Tilburg Online. As you know, Kleding.nl is a Dutch fashion search engine full of brands. I found two fashion items from Michael Kors Donna and Vero Moda while scrolling the pages of Van Tilburg Online there. I'll tell you why I chose those pieces to be my New Years Eve outfit! I would really recommend this fashion search engine to get inspiration for your NYE!
New Years Eve
What to wear for New Years Eve? The big question that I ask myself since living here in Sweden for three years. As you know, it can be pretty cold here and a big warm sweater is maybe not the sexy glamour look you want with New Years Eve right? A lot of people party after 12 o'clock. After celebrating the night with a dinner with friends or family for example. We haven't planned our New Years Eve completely but a fancy dinner with friends or family and a drink in a bar could be on the agenda for sure! So what would be best to wear? An outfit that is warm and comfy enough while being indoor and while going outdoor to check the fireworks. However, it needs to be classy and fun for the after party in a bar or club. What's better than a golden dress? I found one from Vero Moda! It has a split on both sides for a playful look. The dress is sleeveless and great for dancing in a warm club. However to start the night at home or watching the fireworks, I wanted something a bit warmer than a thing sleeveless dress. I found this lovely Michael Kors Donna 'scarf' that looks a bit like a poncho. It almost like a warmer classy dress. You can have it open or close it, depending on how you want to wear it. I love the big sleeves and the comfy feeling for New Years Eve while having a fancy dinner. Together, they are the perfect match! Since the snow can be pretty cold, I decided to finish this look with some over knee boots to keep my legs warm. You won't survive outside with only pumps that will fill up with snow, haha.
How are you spending your New Years Eve and what kind of outfit would suit you best?

Finally, a chance for the Labradors to outshine the German Shepherds.
Army and Air Force Exchange Service officials are warning soldiers and military families to be aware of scammers using the Exchange's logo.
In a news release Wednesday, Exchange officials said scammers using the name "Exchange Inc." have "fooled" soldiers and airmen to broker the sale of used cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and boat engines.
KABUL (Reuters) - The Islamic State (IS) militant group claimed responsibility on Sunday for a suicide blast at a wedding reception in Afghanistan that killed 63 people, underlining the dangers the country faces even if the Taliban agrees a pact with the United States.
The Saturday night attack came as the Taliban and the United States try to negotiate an agreement on the withdrawal of U.S. forces in exchange for a Taliban commitment on security and peace talks with Afghanistan's U.S.-backed government.
Islamic State fighters, who first appeared in Afghanistan in 2014 and have since made inroads in the east and north, are not involved in the talks. They are battling government and U.S.-led international forces and the Taliban.
The group, in a statement on the messaging website Telegram, claimed responsibility for the attack at a west Kabul wedding hall in a minority Shi'ite neighborhood, saying its bomber had been able to infiltrate the reception and detonate his explosives in the crowd of "infidels".

Frances and Efrain Santiago, natives of Puerto Rico, wanted to show their support last month for protesters back home seeking to oust the island's governor.
The couple flew the flag of Puerto Rico on the garage of their Kissimmee home. It ticked off the homeowners association.
Someone from the Rolling Hills Estates Homeowners Association left a letter at their home, citing a "flag violation" and warning: "Please rectify the listed violation or you may incur a fine."
Frances Santiago, 38, an Army veteran, demanded to know why.
A West Point graduate received a waiver from the U.S. Army to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, and play in the NFL while serving as an active-duty soldier.
The waiver for 2nd Lt. Brett Toth was first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, who said that Toth signed a three-year deal with the Eagles. Toth graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 2018.

Can you guess how old I am from the picture? Post a comment. I promise I won't be offended, no matter what you say. I'm getting old! Ha Ha. I bet most of you will never guess my age.
Most people think I'm still in high school, or at least college. I know that I'll appreciate that when I am 50 and look 40, but right now, I'd rather look my age.
Tonight, as a birthday gift from a friend, I will stay with my mom so that I can leave for Chicago at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning with my friend, Tricia, my mom and my sister-in-law, Mackenzie. We like to take trips to Chicago together. I think this is our second all together, but I also met my mom there one year.
That was a crazy trip! Princess was only 6 months old and I decided to take her because my mom wanted to see her. I took the train and I was worried that if I fell asleep, someone would take P, so I had her in one of those baby backpacks. She was attached to me almost the whole way. I think it was over a 12 hour trip from Nebraska to Chicago (plus 12 more on the way back). I've got a great picture of our trip, but right now, I'm at work. Maybe I'll add it later, though.
So, I'm looking forward to exploring Chicago. My favorite spots, so far, are the Museum of Contemporary Art (on free Tuesdays), Ed Debevics, the Magnificent Mile and the American Girl store (I can't wait until P is old enough for me to trust her with a $100 doll so I can buy her one-I do plan on splurging). Remember, I live in a very rural area. So those stores are exciting when I get to go to them.
So my plan for the day is to finish working, and then go pick up my family at the coffee shop in our church basement. I will open my gifts there (yay!), then we will go out to eat. After that, my hubby has to take me to Bay City to drop me off.
I will be taking the MacBook with me, but I'm not sure I'll actually get around to posting or anything, so you may not hear from me for a few days. I'll be back late Saturday night.
*If you were trying to read this right after I posted, WordPress was being spazy, so I apologize for the confusion.
Update: Did you guys look? You all are right on. I turned 28 yesterday. Thanks for the comments and greetings! It was a great day and I'm having a great trip!
