Hillary Clinton
FBI Director, James Comey, made a complete jackass of himself during the recently concluded U.S. presidential election. First he opened a case into the most corrupt presidential candidate in U.S. history, Hillary Clinton, stating she mishandled classified documents at the State Department, when she was Secretary of State, under outgoing president, Barack Obama.
Clinton did in fact do what she was formally accused of perpetrating. If the government has policy and law that clearly stipulates you do not run a private server that is unencrypted and contains no anti-virus and malware protection, you don't do it. Clinton's server was hacked and American secrets downloaded from her emails.
Clinton put greedy, power and ambition ahead of the law and good judgment in running a private server, as she wanted to freely solicit bribes and engage in other illegal maneuvers to expand her bank account via the Clinton Foundation and promote her now failed dream of becoming President of the United States.
The FBI is sitting on evidence Clinton broke the law in a number of matters. They bought into the hype, fake promises of continued employment and bribery, then let Clinton skate on very serious criminal behavior. Clinton had one of her top bundlers, Terry McAuliffe, bribe Jill McCabe, the wife of FBI deputy director, Andrew McCabe, with a check for $500,000 for her senate campaign.
McCabe was working on the criminal case into Clinton's unlawful behavior. After the $500,000 check arrived in his wife's hands, the case against Clinton was mysteriously closed. Comey was also promised continued employment at the FBI, as was Attorney General Loretta Lynch at the Department of Justice.
As stated in the column previously, the FBI has been caught taking bribes on different occasions, to derail serious criminal cases, so this is right up their ally (FBI Agent Arrested For Accepting A $200,000 Bribe To Derail A Criminal Case The FBI Was Supposed To Be Investigating and Another FBI Agent Caught Taking Bribes To Derail Serious Cases (Video)].
Current FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Director Robert S. Mueller and President Barack Obama
Comey believing the polls that Clinton would win, corruptly let her criminal behavior slide, with the promise he could keep his job as FBI Director, so steeped in corruption it is difficult to tell the difference between him and the criminals he is supposed to be arresting. And that's an absolute disgrace.
Then to reopen the case days before the election, due to significant public backlash on social networking, only to get cold feet in the face of President Obama's corrupt threats and close it again, as so-called "new" emails were discovered (belonging to Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner) is pathetic and cowardly on every level. Clinton's emails were on Weiner's computer. He had no authority to be in possession of said emails, furthering proving how inept and sloppy Clinton and her team were with classified emails.
The Judiciary Report knew Trump would win the election and articles published to the site prior to the election indicate this fact. All I kept thinking month after month is look at these so-called law enforcement officials kissing the wrong butt (Clinton's rather than Trump's) discrediting and disgracing the agency in the process for the whole world to see, over a woman who is not even going to become president. The FBI's name is gone. Let that be a lesson to you, if you're going to be a butt kisser, make sure you kiss the right butt.
In my estimation, one good thing came out of Clinton's corrupt, ill-fated presidential run, she single-handedly proved what I have stated on this site for years, the FBI are corrupt bribe takers and the agency needs to be closed. For Comey to stand up on television and tell America and the world if you do what Clinton did we will arrest and convict you, but we are going to let her get away with it, was one of the most smug, arrogant, corrupt, disgraceful moments in history. What a horrible example to set for the public.
The problem with the people on the wrong side of the law regarding the aforementioned case is they think they own America. They were elected and appointed to serve the American people in various capacities at the FBI, DOJ State Department and White House, but are serving their own financial interests, political ambitions and egos. I don't care who you are or who you think you are in this life, no human being owns any nation. God owns this world. You live in it, just like everyone else and the rules apply to you too. Humble yourself lest God does it for you.
Top Clinton Bundlers Were Major Donors to Wife of FBI's Andrew McCabe
Top Clinton Bundlers Were Major Donors to Wife of FBI's Andrew McCabe
November 7, 2016 4:55 pm - Bundlers for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign joined Clinton ally and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe in donating to the state senate campaign of Jill McCabe. The Wall Street Journal first reported on donations from Common Good VA, McAuliffe's political action committee, to McCabe's Virginia state senate campaign in 2015. McCabe is the wife of Andrew McCabe, the FBI deputy director who helped in the investigation into Clinton's email practices.
McAuliffe contributed $467,500 to McCabe's campaign through his PAC, making her the third-largest recipient of contributions from McAuliffe in 2015. The Virginia Democratic Party provided an additional $207,788 to McCabe in the form of mailers, the Wall Street Journal noted. However, McAuliffe was not the only Clinton backer to contribute to McCabe's campaign. Four top bundlers for Clinton-related efforts combined to give McCabe more than $130,000...
McAuliffe's PAC, the Virginia Democratic Party, and donors who have bundled at least six figures for Clinton combined to provide $881,469 in funding to McCabe last year, or half of the amount she raised during her race...

Polite applause for the Financial Services Authority who upheld their April decision which found the now-Swiss-based Stefan Chaligné, manger of the near $130mm Iviron Hedge Fund, guilty of market abuse for his Dec 31st 2007 gratuitous ramping of US and European shares held in his portfolio. He was, the FT reported, fined GBP900,000, ordered to repay profits/fees resulting from the umm... errrr ..... [shenanigans, tomfoolery, charade, escapade, peccadillo] (please choose one), and banned for life from the UK Securities Industry. Mr Chaligné, it would seem, in the last hours, of the last day of the performance measurement and crystallization year, simply could not resist the temptation of buying more of that which he already owned, in sizes which - relative to exchange volume and liquidity - allowed him to his goose performance by nearly 300bps. ***Sigh*** It was not reported precisely how it came to the FSAs attention (the SEC? NYSE? Whistleblower? Jilted mistress or ex-wife) nor whether or why US authorities, too, who might wish to make a statement about the integrity of their preserve, have not sought similar charges or prosecution being that the sins certainly ran afoul of US securities laws forbidding the creation of false and misleading markets.
Yet (polite) applause is still in order, I think, if for no other reason than because the FSA bothered to follow through at all on an ostensibly small, though apparently blatant case of abuse. This view is not setting the bar of justice (no pun intended) very high, but since such abuse is more-than-rampant, it is a signal to traders that they DO (however remotely) risk losing one of the best gigs in town if they are caught, not that this even is the end of the world since like Mr Chaligné and other before in similar predicament, can simply pack-up and move to, say, Geneva.
I emphasize "polite" because, according to the FT, in the appeal ruling, the three-member panel were willing to agree with Mr Chaligné that he "probably" wasn't trying intentionally to cheat his investors - apparently on the grounds that most were friends and family as well as himself. In the decision they say (to paraphrase) despite his obvious lying and willful neglect of civilized behaviour and the rule of law, it was insufficient to categorically brand him a sociopath whose intention was to profit at the expense family and friends, because (get this): what kind of guy would intentionally steal from his friends, family and self??!?. Well, where does one start with THAT one.
First, what are family and friends to a sociopath? Not much besides cannon-fodder one would be forgiven for surmising. Perhaps his allowance was too small for his lifestyle. Perhaps he had penis-envy of the bigger-swinging dicks. Who knows. But, we do know that the fact of the matter WAS that he directly stole several hundred thousand euros. One can infer that he was below high-water mark before the ramp, since IF he was positive for the year with no hurdle, the theft would have been nearer to EURO 600,000. His argument thus may have been predicated upon the fact as he was on the wrong side of zero, and since he didn't have profits, he couldn't have been intentionally trying to steal money from them. But since he earned SOME performance fees as a result (but not 20%-like fees on a 2.7mm goosing) the ramps must have swung the fund from loss to profit for the year as a result. I think this is a bullshit excuse, and am surprised the FSA saw some merit to leave open the possibility it was somehow unintentional.
Second, the FSA only demanded he pay back investors the fees he dishonestly earned by ramping the shares. Sadly for his family, and his perhaps his now-former-friends, they likely lost a tidier sum on the difference between his average cost in and average cost out in addition to transaction costs and additional management fees charged on the subsequent, inflated, beginning of period assets. Experience suggests that the market can spot such ramps a mile away and unless it is one's intention to continue to buy gobs of stock, reversion will be short and sweet and without the ramper being able to liquidate his/her position. He should have been made to pay FULL restitution of imputed losses to investors. Mr Chaligné also asked that fines be directed to investors in the fund (himself!), and this is, again, absurd. Any fines should defray the agency's costs in pursuing the matter, for the market integrity which benefits the public interest, full-stop.
Third, he used the lamest excuse - i.e. the "Dog Ate My Homework" alibi, which in this case was that he was fearful that "his stocks might come under attack by short sellers". WHAT??!?? This is laughable, and in itself should cause he FSA to quadruple penalties and disregard any potential goodwill. Primarily because IF that was, in fact, a concern and not a completely irrelevant and oxymoronically bogus factoid, then the broker could have been given a limit order to maintain price, and IF the price DID come under attack by nefarious aliens or black-hats lurking and conspiring against his stocks, to support it, rather than sending it scurrying up the flagpole resulting from an order that specifically instructed his brokers to put the stocks up as much as possible. Second, even if we ignore this, as vigilantes are frequently told: two wrongs do not make a right. An experienced fiduciary - of the non-sociopathic variety - takes advantage of short-selling attacks to buy stock cheaper, and do it scale-down AT THE CHEAPEST PRICES. They then explain to their family and friends how smart they were buying stock CHEAP at the end of the year, rather than buying it at ever-upwards in a thin market, at prices that will certainly bugger them (financially). And then there is the chestnut about the quantity. IF the intention was to prevent getting devalued at year-end by short-sellers, there was no need to give orders of magnitudes of prevailing liquidity - especially on New Year's Eve, Dec 31st, typically a half-day of trading. It is uncertain why the FSA gave him the benefit of what should have been, beyond the shadow of doubt.
But what has NOT been contemplated, and the truly pernicious act of systematically painting a false and mis-leading market is the potential impacts the deception (not theft but deception) would have upon the decisions and perceptions of both present and future investors. As you may remember, this was the basis for the first 'shot across the bow' by regulators to Hank Greenburg at AIG (and which should have sent AIG shareholders scurrying for the exits). AIG for a decade traded at a large premium to other insurers and reinsurers because of its smooth earnings growth and, perhaps more importantly, its better-than-market underwriting results, which gave credence to its claim that it was a better, smarter and more disciplined underwriter. We now know they were managing (read intentionally smoothing) their earnings. And they were busted for this. But Hank was unrepentant. He implied it was NOT a sin because he didn't steal from investors - just moved earnings from one period to another, a common act in the insurance world (which AIG and Warren Buffet would help facilitate for you for a price). But you see, AIG was also using such unsavoury methods to transform the nature and characterization of earnings by turning underwriting losses into investment losses. So this wasn't understating earnings to save for a rainy day - the way reinsurers have operated since time began - but intentionally trying to fool all the insurance analysts and rating agencies and investors in order to convince them that AIG was better than they actually were. This illusion of quality likely caused much over-investment in AIG at higher-than-was-justified prices, and probably allowed them finance themselves at basis points less than might have otherwise been possible and grow at rates higher than otherwise possible. A seemingly small white lie causing large malinvestment. In fact, one might argue further that IF AIG had been seen as the not-so-special underwriter that they were, they might not have been able to insure the amount of subprime which they did. OK, these are a lot of ifs, but it IS a slippery slope in the descent towards insolvency. Or between increasing investor allocations or the liquidation of your hedge fund.
Mr Chaligné of course is no Hank Greenburg. And stealing from friends and family may not, after all, have been the primary objective. But the FSA should be chided for leaving the door open that it might have been vanity, when the very obvious greater sin went uncommented upon which has the grail of boosting performance to grow your business to entice more investors to give you their capital on the basis of that performance (and risk deception) which is, in the view of this investor, forever unforgivable.

I Didn't Mean To Steal From You

I'm completely embarrassed by how much I enjoy the "Get Him to the Greek Soundtrack."
Warning: some lyrics are super offensive.
The movie is about a record company employee (Jonah Hill) whose task is to get rockstar Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) to LA for a concert. Brand recorded several songs for the soundtrack, most as the frontman for fictional band Infant Sorrow. The band was featured in his earlier movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", in which he played the same character.
I was shocked by how good some of these songs sounded. I was thoroughly enjoying the catchy, upbeat song "The Clap"... until, a second later, the part of my brain that processes words caught up with the part of my brain that processes music and said... "actually, this song is about catching STDs...."
In a movie all about a musician, the tracks recorded play an important role. This role is to define the character of Aldous Snow as a preposterous, obnoxious, inappropriate, bad-ass musican, while providing some solid jams and sweet ballads to set the tone of the movie.
What you get is songs with two dimensions, the first being music that goes well with the scene. "The Clap" is played during an exciting outdoor concert in Times Square, while piano ballad "Bangers, Beans and Mash" plays during a more sentimental scene.
The second dimension is the lyrics... which often have nothing to do with the scene. While "The Clap" seems, at first, to have something to do with music... it's actually about gonorrhea. The lyrics to "Inside of You" are, as you can imagine, ridiculous... "there's got to be some part of me inside of you."
Jackie Q's few featured singles are completely over-sexual (and hilarious) to define her character as "that sexpot pop star." The clip of her music video made me realize that today's pop stars still, for the most part, have some class - or, at least, could have less class.
When I first heard "Bangers, Beans & Mash" in the movie, I thought "people are going to cover this." Actually, there was a contest through YouTube, in which fans could submit their covers of the song and the winner would attend the premiere of the film (June 4th) (already happened). So the tune is well on it's way to being the most covered song of all time (maybe) and I plan to contribute to that by figuring out the piano part tomorrow.
Enjoy Jason Segal & Maroon 5's version of "Bangers, Beans & Mash"... which, by the way, is not dirty; "bangers" is what Brits call sausage.

"I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life."
-Leo Tolstoy
I just finished Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. It's about the fascinating life of Chris McCandless, who at 24 left behind the typical life of privilege and trekked into the Alaskan wilderness. His body was found four months later, where he appears to have starved to death.
There is overwhelming negative feedback directed towards Chris, the most common being that he was no more than an arrogant and overconfident idiot obsessed with "finding himself" through the solitude of nature. And while it's true that he might have been ill-prepared due to his confidence, I cannot help but see his life as an incredible inspiration.
"here's to the crazy ones. the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers. the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently. they're not fond of the rules and have no respect for the status quo. you can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. about the only thing you can't do is ignore them. because they change things, they push the human race forward. and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
— Jack Kerouac
Books have always had great potential to move me. I seem to drink in the words that I read, adopting them and feeling as proud of them as if I had written them myself.
"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. Do not fail to discover all the wonderful things that God has placed around us to discover. Don't settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon. You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships. God has placed it all around us. It is in everything and anything we might experience. We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living. My point is that you do not need me or anyone else around to bring this new kind of light in your life. It is simply waiting out there for you to grasp it, and all you have to do is reach for it."
-Chris McCandless
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life; to put to rout all that was not life, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." -Henry David Thoreau
I want to live in these words. I want to paint them on the walls which are the first thing I see as I wake and the last thing I see before I fall into sleep.
I can only hope to live my life with the same kind of passion.

Working with nageire (ikebana in a tall vase) is a lot like the woodwork I remember from the boy scouts. Cutting kubari sticks, splitting, tying, and making a firm construction.
When teaching my ikebana class I start with the morbibana (ikebana in shallow containers) lessons using a kenzan, making sure everyone gets the basics of lengths and angels before moving on to nageire. Getting the techniques wright and everything in it's proper place is stressful enough when you're familiar with the different ikebana styles.
I'm borrowing a room at a center for religious dialog for my ikebana class. This week two of my students offered to leave their arrangements to delight the people working at the center, which also gave me an opportunity to take some photos for the blog.
These nageire arrangements are made with drops stick kubari with a crossbar komi at the top. Knowing how difficult it is to get the positions and angels wright as a beginner, I'm very satisfied with their result. Looking at the peaceful arrangements after the frustration of trial and error is very rewarding. Breathing out. Lowering the shoulders. And experiencing what ikebana is all about.

Legal pot will cost city 'north of $10 million a year,' mayor pushes for one-third of revenues
The legalization of recreational marijuana will cost the city of Calgary more than $10 million annually in policing, bylaw and administration costs — a tab the mayor wants the federal government to ease by giving municipalities a one-third share of revenues from pot sales.
Council's Intergovernmental Affairs Committee heard Thursday that administration's latest estimates peg the price of cannabis legalization on city coffers at between $9 million and $12 million every year — the equivalent of about a one per cent increase in property taxes annually.
"This is a very big deal," Mayor Naheed Nenshi told reporters after the committee meeting.
"We've not padded this number, we've really gone through and found where the costs are going to be. Some of them are in policing, some of them are in city operations like building inspections, zoning and so on."
The Trudeau government is legalizing recreational cannabis in July and has pitched giving provincial governments half of its estimated $1-billion annual cannabis excise tax take once weed becomes legal.
But given the financial burden the new rules will put on municipalities, Calgary's mayor is adamant the city needs a share of the federal government's tax revenues.
"We're looking north of $10 million a year, so it's incredibly important that any revenue that is gained from cannabis sales, the excise tax on cannabis sales, be shared directly with the municipalities," the mayor said.
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has pitched a revenue-sharing model that would allocate one-third of cannabis excise tax revenues to municipalities, with the remaining two-thirds split between the federal and provincial governments — a model Nenshi supports.
"That makes a lot of sense. That's what we're pushing for," Nenshi said.
Federation of Canadian Municipalities president Jenny Gerbasi said in a statement released Wednesday that local governments are on the front lines of implementing the federal legislation and the one-third split is "fair and achievable."
"A smart revenue model will recognize that three orders of government are in this together," Gerbasi said in the statement.
The mayor said in recent days the feds have shown they're willing to be flexible on the revenue-sharing model and he's hopeful a solution will be reached.
"Ideally, it would be a situation where some of that federal tax money flows directly to the municipality and doesn't have to stop off at the province on the way," he said.
The council committee also heard Thursday the city has so far received 11,800 responses to its online survey seeking input from Calgary residents on various issues related to the looming legalization.
While the city is waiting on the province for more details surrounding areas of legalization such as the licensing and zoning of marijuana stores, the city expects stores to open in less than seven months.
"We're doing our best to ensure businesses would have the ability to open their doors come July," Matt Zabloski, the lead for the City of Calgary's cannabis legalization project, told the council committee.

Happy Monday, lovely people! After weeks of excess and over the top muffins, it feels good to get back to simple, yet still delicious. My daughters left Dubai to return to the US and university over the weekend, so you know I need some cheering up. And there is hardly anything more cheerful than the smell of freshly zested lemons, am I right? That's why they put it in cleaning materials too, by the way. It is part of the brainwashing program designed by marketing types to convince us that cleaning is fun and uplifting and we should buy more lemon-scented soaps and sprays. But I tell you no lies: These muffins are the real thing. Get some in the oven and you will feel better in no time.
For the muffins:
2 cups or 250g flour
1/2 cup or 115g sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 large lemon (for zest and 1/4 cup juice)
2 eggs
3/4 cup or 180ml milk
1/3 cup or 75ml vegetable oil
1 small punnet blueberries (about 125g or 4.4 oz) Reserve 12 for popping on the top of the muffins before baking, if desired.
For the topping:
Powdered or icing sugar to sprinkle, optional
Preheat your oven to 375°F or 190°C. Butter your 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.
Grate in the lemon zest and mix. Juice your lemon.
In another smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, juice and oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until just mixed through.
Fold in all the blueberries, except 12, if saving.
Divide the mixture between the muffin cups in pan.
If you saved berries for the top, now is the time to pop one on the top of each cup. (They might still sink, but I figured it was worth a shot.)
Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
Allow them to cool for a few minutes then remove the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Sprinkle with a little powdered or icing sugar, if desired, and serve.

We are going on a new expedition this year. (2012) Classical Conversations!
I heard through the grapevine that there was a new group starting up in our area. I hopped online to see what it was about. I've heard of classical education, but not this specific curriculum. (btw it is so much more than curriculum!)
I liked the looks of it so I thought I'd check it out for my teens. We needed a change of pace for them. (ie read momma needs a teaching break) I attended an informational meeting put on by the director of our group.
It turns out there were not quite enough teens to start a challenge group in our area. In addition, there was no one willing or able to be the tutor for the highschoolers. Bummer, maybe next year.
However... As I looked into it, the program looked better and
better to me. I figured, why don't I try this out with my 4th grader? I
was not really looking for something for him. But... It will be a
change of pace for us. And after 16 yrs homeschooling boys a change of
pace sounds fun!
Positive social interaction. Don't get me started on the myth of unsocial homeschoolers! We are VERY social thank you very much. But my youngest is 7 yrs younger than his brothers. This would be a chance to meet and play with and yes compete with others on the same level.
I love the curriculums they use. I'm familiar with their choices and they fit right in with my family. In fact my teens have already read most of the literature book lists for their challenge program. They have also used many of the curriculum choices.
It is NOT a drop off program. Mom (or dad) still need to be involved. It is NOT CC's goal to replace the parent or BE the teacher. The leaders are called Tutors. They are there to help the parents, give support, and encouragement. Parents are required to attend WITH their children.
It is Christian Based. They make no apologies about the goal of teaching and spreading the gospel through our children.
Math drills A little positive competition is healthy you know. Ever try to make math drills fun with a single child? It's not easy. If he is enjoying the math drills during CC day, he'll be motivated to learn. High motivation is the best teacher!
Memorization emphasis This is always something I've wished I'd done more of. But something that I just didn't pull off very well. The group will help keep me accountable. :0)
Freedom! I've been homeschooling a long time. I like my freedom and ability to adapt. With CC I will still have freedom to adapt and maintain
individuality. I'll be able to continue picking and choosing great
literature for my boy at the pace and level that works for us. There
are so many great books out there!
Of course I can't just do anything the easy way... oh no. I had to just jump in with both feet. When our director said she'd be looking for a tutor for the Essentials program... I felt a nudging.
Our director was so cool. When I said I might be interested she gave me some time to pray and know for sure that I wanted to plunge in headlong. After a week or two of thinking and discussing it with my husband,I took the position.
So not only are we attending... I'm tutoring the Essentials Class. 4th through 6th graders. It's been fun.
I'll be adding and updating this page as we progress. Come on back!

When I saw the promo photos for the OPI Nicki Minaj collection, I knew I was skipping it. Not a fan of shatters ('Super Bass Shatter'), nor glitters/shimmers ('Metallic 4 Life' and 'Save Me'), nor this green ('Did It On Em'). I was interested in 'Pink Friday' and 'Fly'. But Im quite sure that 'Pink Friday' is dupable. Whereas for 'Fly', I think it is a less common shade. But I know I have something similar.
And it is the Rainbow AM28.
Yes? No?
(I had to chip off my nails for sports, so only thumb swatches for now.)
Lets take a closer look side by side.
2 layers for each.
OPI Fly dries to a glossier finish while Rainbow AM28 to a more musky finish. Both dries in a short time.
It is soooooooo hard capturing the true teal colour, so I am giving you colour swatches on html.
This is OPI Fly. This is Rainbow AM28.
Seriously, is there any different? But I have to admit, OPI Fly is prettier but you dont need both. If you are on a budget or just wants a dupe, get Rainbow AM28 ($2/$2.50. You can get them at the old shop book shop, or even those budget beauty stores such as Ta Zhiang. Singapore only!)

Look at this word: uncomfortable.
We can break it into un (prefix) comfort (base word) and able (suffix).
We pronounce this word like this:
In other words, the 'or' in the middle is silent. So if you know the pronunciation maybe you will try to spell it *'uncomftable'* This is wrong. Usually (not always I'm afraid) the spelling of the base word doesn't change even if the pronunciation changes.
The part before the base word ('un') is the "prefix".
Two things to remember about prefixes:
1. A prefix usually changes the meaning of the word (makes it negative or opposite, for example).
2. The full prefix is added to the full base word. So:
misspelling ('mis' + 'spelling': so double 's')
illegal ('il' + 'legal': so double 'l')
disappear ('dis' + 'appear': so only one 's')
This is one reason why Albrow says that English spelling is 'for the eye rather than the ear' (Albrow, K.H., The English Writing System: notes towards a description, Longman 1972).

SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) - Same-sex couples married in Utah during a brief period when gay marriage was legal in the conservative, heavily Mormon state can jointly file their state taxes, the State Tax Commission said on Thursday.
Utah temporarily became the 18th state to legalize same-sex marriage when a U.S. federal district judge ruled on December 20 that a state ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional. His ruling was put on hold by the U.S. Supreme Court but not before roughly 1,400 gay couples tied the knot.
To be eligible to file joint state taxes, gay or lesbian couples must have wed before the end of the tax year, the commission said in a notice that pointed out the U.S. Supreme Court had not issued its stay before the end of 2013. Utah is appealing the decision striking down its ban on gay marriage.
"Same-sex couples who are eligible to file a joint federal income tax return and who elect to file jointly may also file a joint 2013 Utah Individual Income Tax return," the notice from the Utah Tax Commission said.
The decision by the commission also applies to gay and lesbian couples who were married in other U.S. states anytime before December 31, 2013, and who live in Utah, said Charlie Roberts, a spokesman for the commission.
Utah's Republican Governor Gary Herbert said last week that the state would put recognition of gay marriage on hold as it pursues an appeal. Representatives for Herbert did not immediately return calls.
The four state tax commissioners are appointed by the governor. "We've been in communication with the governor's office," Roberts said.
President Barack Obama's administration has pledged to recognize same-sex marriages in Utah even though the state will not do so.
On Tuesday, a U.S. district judge in Oklahoma overturned the state's ban on same-sex marriage in the latest in a series of rulings by judges in federal and state courts to find that such exclusions violate the U.S. Constitution. The judge put his decision on hold, pending an appeal of the case in Utah.

Good morning. I made this card while I was on the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen DT but never got around to sharing it on my blog until now. It features a fun stamp set from Pink and Main.
This image is from the Owl Nerds clear stamp set. This is one of my favorite Pink and Main sets and has several cute owl images along with lots of fun sentiments. I colored the image with copics and then used the coordinating dies to cut the image. I used the Stitched Rectangle Die to cut the star dp and the sentiment banner was cut with the Fishtail Flag Banner Die. I applied Glossy Accents to the owl's beak and feet and added some enamel dots to finish my card.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Anita

Many critics acquainted with Marcom's work have dismissed her fiction as being impossibly convoluted, repetitious, or confusing, that her characters misrepresent or exaggerate, and many disagree with me as I insist that Marcom is one of the most compelling contemporary authors writing in English and that her prose is radically innovative, acutely artistic, and intensely humane. Ultimately, all of her work is an inquiry into love, its edges and limits, which obtains a new palpability and a new level of understanding in the sheer beauty and quiet poignancy of her prose.
Marcom's fourth novel, a small book originally titled "The Edge of Love," referring to a Clarice Lispector story called "That's Where I'm Going," and published as The Mirror in the Well, is an exquisite and at the same time terrifying account of an episode in the life of a woman who realizes that she is trapped in the painfully quotidian traffic of urban life and its culture. This unnamed modern, American, middle-class woman—"the girl," who in a sense is an "everywoman," and who appears to be, at the same time, as Marcom characterized her in a recent interview (see Context 22), an amalgam of feminine archetypes from the old stories of love—Helen of Troy, Scheherazade, Isolde, among others, awakens from a prescribed, comatose life to the realization that she is not fully alive, that she has not fully lived. In her search for a sensation of life, she plunges into the depths of herself, crossing and transgressing the borders of the permissible, the codes and values that are tolerated by society, partaking of what Anne Carson called "eros, the bittersweet," a description which Carson, in turn, borrowed from Sappho: "Eros once again limb-loosener whirls me / sweetbitter, impossible to fight off, creature stealing up." Her melancholy lover—the dark-eyed foreigner, who carves and shapes wood—journeys with her into the underworld of desire, where "the girl" must discover in her solitude shame, bitterness, the pleasure of, and the nostalgia for, wholeness. She is at once the goddess-mother and the monster-child, a source that can castrate or give life. Indeed, no other book has inquired into female sexuality and desire with such force and honesty, so curiously and physically looked into the sexual act from a woman's perspective and the female sex itself. As Marcom noted in her interview, "I suppose in a society where female sexuality is feared and repressed and shamed: where the cunt itself is shameful and to be hidden, cleaned up, covered, then to put the naked form of a woman at center with her point of view, her sex, and pleasure as the point of inquiry, well, then, yes that could be radical, it could offend, it might be considered ugly, immodest, in bad taste and immoral, and of course it is the most natural thing on earth."
Marcom's language is not censored, but neither is it embellished—it simply describes the desperate drive that pulls and pushes at "the girl" who has come back from the dead; the world of television, habitual affairs, meaningless material possessions, and the bitter convenience of marriage. Everything in The Mirror is distilled into one thing—the phrase and its uncapturability, which is also the very moment of orgasm. The words never pretend to replace the experience itself, they only try fragmentarily, fleetingly to capture the moment, yet fail; then they are arranged anew, in a different construction, only to leave the reader with a sensation of an eternal continuity, our relentless desire to dismantle the boundary between language and sensation, and the realization that human experience will always remain in the interstices of linguistic codes.

The Supreme Judicial Court recently amended Rule 45 of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure, effective as of April 1, 2015. The most significant change in the amended Rule 45 is the allowance of "documents only" subpoenas to non-parties. Previously, if only documents were sought from a non-party, Massachusetts practice involved serving a deposition subpoena that agreed to "waive the appearance" of the non-party at the deposition if the documents were produced. Consistent with the federal practice, now Massachusetts practitioners can serve a "documents only" subpoena when only documents are needed. The last line of Rule 45(b) makes clear that "[a] person commanded to produce documents, electronically stored information, or tangible things, or to permit inspection of premises, need not appear in person at the place of production or inspection unless also commanded to appear for a deposition, hearing, or trial."
Employers Beware: A Weak Discrimination Complaint Too Often Leads To A Strong Retaliation Claim
There are many anti-discrimination statutes aimed at protecting employees, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 under federal law and the anti-discrimination provisions of Chapter 151B of the Massachusetts General Laws to name a few. While understanding the nuances and the interplay between federal and state laws can pose challenges, the intention behind these laws is something that all well-meaning employers support. Nevertheless, situations can arise when even the most well-meaning employer may find compliance with the law and the behavior required to avoid a lawsuit both counterintuitive and difficult. One particularly dangerous area for employers can be found in the anti-retaliation language contained in many employment discrimination statutes. This is because employers too often react negatively to the assertion of a claim and consequently turn a weak discrimination case into a strong retaliation claim.

Baghouse filters
Envirotherm-designed baghouse filters are mainly used for dedusting purposes but also for the adsorption or absorption of gaseous pollutants (such as SO₂, HCl, HF as well as heavy metals and polychlorinated hydrocarbons).
When dust-laden gases pass a porous fabric or felt layer, dust gets removed from the carrier gas and, subsequently, forms a filter cake at the filtering layer. This kind of dust is removed after certain intervals, falls into the dust bunker and can be discharged.
