I am running to represent West Virginia's 63rd House District to serve the Eastern Panhandle and Berkeley County because we need change in our district. Excessive regulations, burdensome taxes, and wasteful spending from our state legislature have negatively impacted our quality of life for far too long. If elected, I want to ensure our state government works for you.
Coming from a military family background, I learned about the value of freedom and community as an Army Brat. During World War II, my grandfather served in the Army Air Corp, while my father was a deck gunner on Navy ships in the Pacific. My stepfather served in the Army. My son Tim served in the West Virginia Guard for 8 years, while my son Thomas did two combat tours in Iraq, earning a Purple Heart and Army Commendation Medal with Valor. Unfortunately, I was unable to serve due to hearing problems.
My upbringing encouraged me to get involved in my community. I have worked elections, been involved in political campaigns, and served in various political leadership roles at the local level. Before retiring, I was a CPA and served a term in the FDIC's Office of Inspector General. My studies in Accounting and Computer Science at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California prepared me for all of that.
I came to West Virginia in the early 2000s thanks to my children. My wife Sharon and I are happy to call Berkeley home. We met and married here, share a blended family here, and attend church here.

Communities in Schools
I develop curriculum for elementary school aged groups and facilitate the groups, continually evaluate the efficiency of the groups, coordinate school-wide events (i.e. canned food drive), and carry out programs implemented in school (i.e. Food 4 Kids). During the spring of 2012, I coordinated a Pennies for Patients fundraiser and combined this into an afterschool group that was doing the Financial Literacy Program though Financial Foundations for Kids.

Weekly Boarding
Our home-from-home boarding community is enhanced by an affordable weekly boarding service, making our vibrant and thriving school more accessible to young people across Devon, Cornwall and beyond.
Weekly boarding offers the perfect balance for young people who want to get the most out of their education experience Monday to Friday. Integrated throughout College House and with specialist houses for Sixth Form, weekly boarders are very much part of the boarding family and receive the same level of care and opportunity as full boarders.
The boarding experience aids personal development and is an invaluable introduction to independent living, particularly for Sixth Formers. With no daily commute, boarding pupils start the day with a leisurely and hearty breakfast knowing that their first lesson is just a few steps away.
An extensive enrichment programme completes the school day. Boarders then partake of supper in the dining room before settling down to private study supervised by boarding staff. Boarding is a friendly community and there is always a range of evening activities to join in with, whether it's a game of badminton in the sports hall; playing on the Wii in the common room; chatting over coffee and biscuits in the kitchen; practising the piano or even doing more homework! This highly-competitive package is available on a term-by-term basis, four nights a week and includes dedicated bed, evening meal and breakfast, laundry service and evening activities.
Occasional boarding is also available. Visit our Fees page for more details. To sign up for a free taster night or for more information about this exciting new boarding opportunity, please call the Senior Registrar and Admissions Manager, Nicholas Michie-Carr, on: 01752 505115 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Explore The Reef from Australia's Famous Reef Island
Daydream Island is the perfect location to explore Australia's famous Great Barrier Reef.
Whether you're a non-swimmer or keen to get wet, there are many ways you can interact with the planet's largest living organism.
Using Daydream Island as your stepping stone, right in the heart of The Whitsundays, here are three ways to enjoy a Reef experience you'll never forget.
Daydream's Living Reef

You'll also take part in the daily public fish and shark feeding shows and get behind-the-scenes access to the restricted areas, help prepare food for the marine animals, test water quality and perform other husbandry and biologist duties.
School Groups
Day trips and overnight packages are available for the coolest school excursion ever. Interacting with our marine biologists and Living Reef inhabitants is such a fun way to learn about and experience the magical marine world.
Night tours
Rendezvous after dark with our marine biologists to learn about the nocturnal behaviour of the Living Reef inhabitants. Under the stars, feed and touch Pikelet and Puppy our stingrays, pat a friendly shark, and hold a sea star.
Marine biologist for a day
This is an incredible opportunity to join in the fascinating daily duties of our marine biologists. This is real and unforgettable work experience, where you'll be assisting our experts in water quality testing, animal husbandry, food preparation, life support system checks and animal health checks, as well as participating in the Guided Fish Feed, Stingray Splash and exclusive shark encounters.
Fringing Reef & Islands
Daydream is the only inhabited Whitsunday Island with fringing reef directly off the island. With just a short stroll from your room you can be amongst the most fascinating marine life in just a matter of minutes.
Daydream Fringing Reef
As you step off the beach at secluded Lovers Cove you'll be amazed at the welcome from the schools of parrot fish right in front of you. Daydream's fringing reef is regarded as one of the healthiest in the region and a haven for snorkelers.
Fringing Reef after dark
Live weekly shows after dark at Lovers Cove show the fringing coral reef coming alive at night. Sit back in comfort as Daydream Island's marine biologist team dive in and stream 'live' underwater footage to a screen during this unique educational experience.
Surrounding Islands

By Conor Mihell
It had been decades since the coastal waters of British Columbia saw canoes like the ones that plied the Inside Passage in the summer of 1997. Aboriginal artist Roy Henry Vickers and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) staff sergeant Ed Hill brought native people and corrections officers together for the 31-day VisionQuest journey from the interior town of Hazelton, B.C., down the Skeena River to the Pacific Ocean and south to Victoria. They paddled Pacific Northwest-style canoes—a mix of massive 40-footers replicated in modern composite materials and authentic cedar dugouts—and stopped in the long houses of coastal First Nations communities for potlatches and healing ceremonies.
"We had serious emotional talks about our past and generally had a life-altering journey," says Hill. "I realized all the good work that had been done between police and First Nations because of those canoes. When we arrived in Victoria I thought, 'This can't be the last time we do this.'"
Hill recognized the expedition's success in bridging cultural gaps and easing racial tensions through communication and fostering a sense of trust. For decades, government First Nations suppression strategies like residential schools and outlawing traditional gatherings like the potlatch were typically enforced by police officers. "When we were punishing them for speaking their language at residential schools, burning their artifacts and putting them in jail for potlatching, some of these traditions were kept alive behind our backs," says Hill. "Through these journeys they're trusting us with their culture and sharing it with us."
In 2001, Hill organized a sequel to VisionQuest known as Pulling Together, which involved an expedition of three canoes paddled by police officers and native people on the Fraser River in southwestern B.C. Hill says the program was initially plagued by the usual tensions—some aboriginal people were perturbed by the idea of sharing canoes with cops while some non-native communities along the route did not want to host overnight gatherings.
Since then, however, the annual Pulling Together trips have become wildly popular. In early July, Hill and 250 to 300 "pullers" will paddle from Tofino to Port Alberni on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The eight-day trip will be supported by a ground crew of about 100 and involve social service workers, fisheries officers and members of the Canadian Navy. While the 15 to 20 Pacific Northwest-style canoes involved in this year's journey are its most emblematic symbol, Hill insists that the significance is far greater. "The canoe is only one part of this beautiful First Nation culture," he says. "It's a vehicle that moves us from one place to another, but it also takes us on a cultural, spiritual and emotional journey."
From the journals of past participants, it's clear that Hill's goals are being realized. "I was honored to receive an eagle feather today," wrote one native paddler in 2005. "Tears poured down my cheek, instant smile. For once in my life I felt special… they gave me the feather because they know how much I've grown."
Similarly, a white RCMP officer shared her experience in Women Police magazine: "As I sat around and looked around at our flotilla, people of all nations, young and old, were laughing, singing and relaxing together. Forgotten were the stigmas and burdens of society's images of each of us. Cops and kids, Indians and white folk, it didn't just matter anymore."
For Hill, each Pulling Together trip is a chance to learn about the Pacific Northwest's rich aboriginal history—an opportunity that's supported by his fellow paddlers, ground crew and members of the communities where they stop and experience cultural traditions along the way. "The culture we tried to kill is the very culture we're bringing back together again through these trips in these canoes," says Hill. "That's the magic."

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Stem Cell Therapy INTL said Wednesday it successfully transplanted its stem cell therapy into a U.S. stroke patient.
The procedure took place at one of the company's facilities in Kiev, Ukraine.
The patient is 50-year-old Rich James, a chiropractor from New York City whose left arm and left leg were paralyzed as a result of a stroke earlier this year, and who had achieved only limited results from traditional stroke treatments, the company said.
"After his stroke, Dr. James was in a wheelchair, but could walk short distances with the aid of an AFO and a quad cane," said Calvin Cao, CEO of SCTI. "He traveled to our affiliate clinic in Kiev and received stem cell transplantation therapy as well as physical and massage therapy. At six weeks post treatment, Dr. James can walk without any aids and at four months post treatment he is now able to take the N.Y. subway on his own to get around."
SCTI's therapy is comparable to organ transplantation, except stem cells rather than an entire organ are transplanted into the body, eliminating the risk of rejection, the company said. James learned of SCTI via strokenetwork.org, the company noted.

'Narcos' writer to create El Chapo drama '#Cartel' for history
History and "Narcos" writer/producer Chris Brancato are in development on "#Cartel," a drama series based on the life of drug kingpin El Chapo, TheWrap has learned.
The series would follow kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's rise to power, with an inside look at how cartels use social media to maintain their image, recruit new members and threaten rivals. Unlike drug lords of decades past, El Chapo has fan followings, with relationships in the entertainment and music industry that stretch past the Mexican border and into the United States.
"#Cartel," from ABC Signature and A+E Studios, is described as a story of power, money, sex and the human cost of the drug wars like none ever seen on television.

"As we expand the canvas of topics covered by HISTORY to include events of the recent past, we are pleased to be teaming with Chris Brancato on this project,'" said Jana Bennett, President & General Manager at History, in a statement. "The true story of El Chapo, fraught with murder, drugs, corruption and celebrity, has been and continues to be one of the most disturbing and fascinating of the past decade. Chris is the perfect person to bring this slice of modern history to the screen."

Paris: Another painting from Rue Cler, my favorite street. I always want to imagine that I live in an apartment here, where I can get fresh flowers and a baugette just outside my door. This was actually a grey morning when we visited, but the flowers were still beautiful.
Recently I was telling my students about the how shadows on a cloudy day are different than those in sunlight. Of course, they are much lighter in value, but they are also warmer than the lit areas. So: warm light (sunny day) gives cool shadows, and cool light (cloudy day) gives warm shadows. Look at the dark line under the boxes to see what I mean.

A big branch left a tree, and ended up in the pond at West Park. The critters love it. We've seen an entire litter (what DO you call a bunch of baby birds from one hatching?) of tiny baby ducklets standing on the log, busily preening.
Here is a turtle (painted turtle?), enjoying the sunshine. I bet it was over 6" long. I'm seeing a turtle here more often than in previous years. Not sure if there is one, or if there are many........
We hadn't seen any goldfish in weeks and weeks. I was confident they were still there, and on the 29th they were visible. Goldfish, with kid duck. This youngster is probably about 2/3 or 3/4 the size of its mom. You can see the adult plumage is getting well established.
Black-eyed Susans.
Datura. I think this is the biggest flower that can grow wild in our climate. It's actually VERY intent on self-seeding. Once you've let it seed, you'll have trouble ever being without it, I think.
It is pretty. I'm glad there's a patch in my neighborhood I can enjoy year after year.
I bet this flower is over 6" across.
Love the way the points go this way and that way. And sometimes curl.
A look from the side (with variegated iris leaves in the background). This flower's bell is large, but the flower is deeper than it is wide.
A note from the golf course -- the golf continues to go well (and late into the evening, on these long long midsummer days). It's a good thing to have a camera along, in case a memorable sunset happens by......

Durban's Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Park Flies the Flag with its Floor
03 Jun 2016
- The rich orange Flowcrete floor is the colour of the Indian flag.
- Peran SL Fruity in Tangerine was installed, to create a floor with the required image.
- The centre has been designed to convey the teachings of Gandhi.
- It was imperative that the colour and seamless finish wouldn't deteriorate.
- The centre has been designed as a minimum maintenance structure.
The Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Trust has chosen a rich orange Flowcrete floor the colour of the Indian flag, in order to create a vibrant finish in its new centre that would reflect the ethos of the site.
Located at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Park, the centre has been designed to convey the teachings of Gandhi and to serve as a tourist attraction as well as a vital space for the inner city Durban area, providing commemorative, educational, historical and heritage benefits.
The appearance and atmosphere of the space was carefully considered to ensure that it would reflect the building's principles while also being able to withstand the inevitable scratches, scuffs, bumps and stains that the interiors would be exposed to.
Designed as a modest structure, the memorial is however also intended to be an enjoyable and lively space for both local community members and tourists. The Trust decided to use the orange colour of the Indian flag for many of the building's surfaces and furnishings, as it would create a pleasant environment while also tying into the meaning of the site.
To achieve this, 150m2 of Peran SL Fruity in Tangerine was installed, to create a floor with the required image that would simultaneously provide a reliable and long lasting surface. The glossy, self-smoothing epoxy resin floor finish was applied in main rooms and corridors as well as the kitchen area and toilet facilities.
Flowcrete Africa's Managing Director, Craig Blitenthall, said: "We were honoured to work with the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Trust on this project, as the new facility will not only commemorate a significant part of the city's history, but it will also help the local community in a number of important ways.
"Peran SL Fruity met all the project's criteria, as the bright, exciting colour would invigorate the space and deliver the aesthetic requirements of the Trust while also providing the necessary functionality and durability that any busy commercial site will need to keep the area looking clean and attractive."
The centre has been designed as a minimum maintenance structure in order to reduce long-term maintenance and operational costs. The seamless and easy to clean nature of Peran SL was therefore ideal, as the fact that it can be quickly washed helps to keep the floor area looking fresh and unblemished without requiring the costs and labour of an intensive cleaning regime.
It was imperative that the colour and seamless finish wouldn't deteriorate in the face of constant foot traffic, drink and food spillages, cleaning and impacts from dropped items. Peran SL's durability means that the centre's operators could rest assured that the floor would retain its aesthetics and functionality for an extended period of time, avoiding the need for frequent repairs or an early refurbishment.

This rose is the final product of a 35 year breeding program by Dr. Werner Noack of Noack Rosen, a German rose breeder famous for his commitment to disease resistant hybrids. Its parents are a Flower Carpet rose and another of Noack's earlier hybrids named after his wife, R. x Margaret Merril. Noak started patenting his new roses with Flower Carpet Red patented in 1995. Practically maintenance-free yet extremely floriferous and vigorous plants can produce as many 2000 blooms per bush each season.

Now We Value the Proceeds of Crime for Adding to National Income!Posted: March 20, 2015 Filed under: Economics, Ethics | Tags: Solving the Grim Equation, TTIP Leave a comment
Here's an extract from 'Solving the Grim Equation', soon to be published by Cambria Books. Do we really want to live in a society which values crime for its contribution to national productivity, which prioritises the demands of big international corporations, and which hides crucial discussions under the convenient cloak of 'confidentiality'?
TTIP and Benefit Lies
"Business as usual, only more so, remains the dominant paradigm of in-power politicians and civil servants. 'Growth' is the watchword, and the quest for growth is a significant force behind the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), not yet in being at the time of writing, but looming.
TTIP, a proposed 'open market' trade deal between the USA and the European Union, has near miraculous status in the minds of its proponents. Take this paean from an EU question-and-answer document:[i]
'European companies, workers and citizens would benefit enormously from a more open US market. The EU has many highly competitive firms producing top quality products and services, including many world leaders and top brands. In agriculture, for example, US plant health regulations ban European apples, while their food safety rules make it illegal to import many European cheeses. Getting rid of tariffs and other barriers to trade will enable European producers to sell more to the Americans: that is good for business and good for jobs. Removing EU barriers to US products and investment will mean more choice and lower prices for people here in Europe. What is clear is that both sides will gain from further opening up their markets to trade and investment. It will be a win-win situation.'
Win win for whom, the reader wonders. In 2013 the European Commission asked the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR)[ii] to investigate the pros and cons of TTIP, and the CEPR's figures indicated financial benefits. As far as the EU Commission was concerned, the CEPR was likely to be a safe pair of hands, and so it proved. The centre receives funding from a long list of banks, including central banks and commercial banks from around the world, and calls upon a network of academic economists to lead research projects.
Academic economists have long prioritised theory over the messy reality of the real world. Particularly, they are reluctant to worry about resource unavailability, on the basis that if one commodity is unattainable, clever humans will find another to substitute. The CEPR asked if TTIP would result in economic growth, and concluded that yes, it would, and is therefore highly desirable.
TTIP is about 'harmonising' regulations, which tend to slip towards a lowest common denominator, and also about protecting corporations from governments which change – strengthen – the regulatory environment. The protection will be in the Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) system. This means that foreign companies, or multinationals whose operations in a territory are (even if nominally) controlled from outside the borders, are at liberty to sue governments who do anything likely to threaten the future flow of profits. ISDS cases in the TTIP would be heard in camera by a panel of specialist lawyers.
Too Much Secrecy
The negotiations for TTIP are proceeding in secret. The EU Commission justifies this as follows:
'For trade negotiations to work and succeed, you need a certain degree of confidentiality, otherwise it would be like showing the other players one's cards in a card game.'[iii]
This is a weak argument. A trade agreement with the potential profoundly to change European societies – weaker environmental protection, lower wages resulting from more ferocious competition, the likely introduction of technologies such as seeds-and-chemicals packages, to which many people object – is rather more serious than a game of gin rummy or whist.
TTIP may be profitable for the world's big corporations, their owners, lawyers and advisers, but the very concept of ISDS, privileging capital above all other considerations, is profoundly regressive. There are voices against TTIP, although they lack the clout of TTIP's cheerleaders. The Austrian Foundation for Development Research, Vienna produced a report called 'Assessing the Claimed Benefits of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership',[iv] which is more balanced and draws out disadvantages, such as the compensation payments governments would have to make to corporations if they strengthened regulation, the loss of income to governments when tariffs are abolished, welfare costs if workers become unemployed, and lower tax revenues. The report concludes:
'Last but not least, an investor-to-state dispute settlement mechanism, if included in TTIP, could lead to compensation payments by governments and have a disciplining effect on future regulation in the public interest. A qualified public debate on the need for such an arbitration mechanism as currently proposed, and a discussion about alternative forms of international investment arbitration, which is both transparent and equilibrated in its treatment of investors' rights and the prerogatives of public policy, is urgently needed.'[v]
It's All for the Mega Corporations
The Centre for Economic Policy Research, happily assuming minimal drawbacks, reckoned that TTIP would bring €119 billion to the EU and €95 billion to the USA, which would equate to €545 for a family of four in Europe and €655 for a family in the USA. Equivalence is not actual income, though, and it is possible that families would not see any of the claimed benefits. The aim is not to make all families more prosperous, but to open doors for business. Even before TTIP, tariffs between the EU and the USA average less than 3% — and even more to the point, at least a third of transatlantic trade is intra-company, i.e. companies sending their own goods from one side of the Atlantic to the other, for whom the removal of tariffs has immediate cash flow benefits.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has lessons for TTIP. NAFTA, a deal between the USA, Canada and Mexico introduced in 1994, has increased the power of major corporations, free to move capital and production wherever they want, a freedom which intensifies job insecurity and damages conditions for workers. Free markets, however, are still in vogue among the upper echelons of governments around the world.
Illegal Activities Valued for Contributions to National Income!
The world's unfettered free markets are hardly bastions of ethics. The dry-sounding 'Changes stemming from improved comparability of Gross National Income measurement', published by the UK's Office for National Statistics on May 16th 2014, includes these startling, shocking sentences:
'…illegal activities (e.g. prostitution and production of drugs) fall within the production boundary of national accounts. The sources and methods used need to be reviewed in order to ensure that illegal activities are properly included in the national accounts. The UK already includes estimates in the national accounts for smuggling of alcohol and tobacco, so this reservation will be addressed by including prostitution and drugs within the national accounts framework.'
The announcement was one of a number from statistics offices in the European Union, as members moved to harmonise a way of inflating economic growth by estimating the amounts changing hands illegally! Criminal activities such as drug pushing are good for the numbers, because buyers who are addicted will pay the price asked, even if they have to turn to more crime to get the money. Governments evidently value crime as a pillar of economic output.
Is this the end of ethics in government? How can politicians expect people to behave ethically when criminal activities are valued for contributing to national income? The European Commission pushed member states down this road when in December 2013 it included the proposals in the 'European System of National and Regional Accounts'. This shows the Commission's priorities – economic growth above all other considerations. Maybe the European Union is not such a force for social good after all.
Complaints in the media were muted and, it seems, short-lived. For the mainstream media too, the imperative for economic growth is unquestioned. Nearly all activities, including childcare — parents paying other people to look after their children while they work to earn the money to pay the childminders – have already been monetised, prompting the powers-that-be, in a desperate gamble, to co-opt the underworld.
The UK's boost to gross domestic product from the addition of illegal activities was thought to be £10 billion, about £155 per man, woman and child. The £10 billion figure is, of course, only a guess as no one really knows. The figure is probably inaccurate as well as reprehensible."

Bungee Harnesses
Leg Harnesses
I have seen two types of leg harnesses used in Bungee. The first is very simple and is used by many clubs - most noticeable A.J. Hackett. The second type is a more traditional buckle harness. I feel much more secure in a buckle up harness, but have jumped in both. I have never heard of either leg harnesses failing.
A Towel and a bit of Webbing
Custom Made Harnesses
I recently contacted Petzl who were most helpful. They have on their computers a 'Harness for Bridge Jumping' (product code C84) and it retails at around 140 pounds (Sterling, approx. $200 USD). There was no picture in the catalogue so I can't be sure this is what you want. If they are anything like the one's I have used before they will have two webbing straps and be about shin height. They feel Very secure and have a log piece of webbing to attach to the cord. Each foot is separate and so walking in them is easy.
Other climbing equipment manufacturers may be able to help make harnesses for you (or may even make them already). The harnesses we used at NW Bungee were a lot slimmer and only had one webbing strap on each foot. They were stitched together at the ankles and so walking in them was very difficult, also there wasn't much webbing between the harness and the connection point.
Here is a typical custom manufatured ankle harness as used by Bungee Experience. Note the black padding that goes between you and the blue webbing straps, this makes for a very comfortable jump. The Blue webbing straps are firmly held with two big buckles per leg and then the extra webbing is wrapped around your leg one more time and secured with velcro. Each harness is functional in itself but they are stiched together just to prevent the cords getting between your legs and tangled.
It is possible to jump with your wrists strapped into these harnesses (although I wouldn't try it!)
Body Harnesses
All the clubs I have jumped with have used a 2nd harness as a backup. In Copenhagen this was just a Petzl Mercury sit harness (Product code C31). I was a bit dubious as to it's ability to hold me in when dangling upside down, but since it's what I climb in normally I had a lot of faith in it. At NW Bungee we used some Troll Climbing harnesses (very adjustable) and also a shoulder/chest harness to make sure jumpers had full backup. We sometimes jumped with just these on for a free legs experience. In France they used a full Petzl body harness 8003 (Product code C05), this was very adjustable and I found it very comfortable. Combined with the Petzl leg harnesses I felt very comfortable and secure.
Putting at all together

Can anyone name a Pakistani soul who has more votes in our presidential electoral college than does Mr Asif Ali Zardari? To be certain, presidential-hopeful Zardari is a product of a process – a process called elections. He is also a product of a system of governance – a system called democracy. We have had generals Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Zia-ul-Haq and Pervez Musharraf as our presidents and none of them were products of a legitimate electoral process (didn't they broke into the presidency led by the Triple-One Brigade?). Ayub, Zia and Pervez all descended as guardian angels but faded away as Lucifers-in-uniform.
Our most recent messiah-in-uniform, General Pervez Musharraf, managed to attract $12.277 billion in overt aid from the US. Then there was a 5-year-long Saudi Oil Facility (under which the Kingdom gave us up to 100,000 barrels of oil every day). Additionally, during Musharraf's 8-year rule Pakistanis working abroad sent in a wholesome $33.277 billion. That's a colossal $45.554 billion, but look at where we stand now: we are begging the US for flour; we are begging the Saudis for oil; we are begging everyone else for dollars. We have no atta, no electricity and no dollars.
Mr Asif Ali Zardari, no messiah he is. He surely has his share of flaws, perhaps more than his share of stains. More recently, he has added another hefty log – breaking another written promise – to the already backbreaking baggage he has been carrying around. But, let him who is without any flaw throw the first stone.
President-to-be Zardari is certainly no angel – remember, angels don't breathe. So far, Co-chairman Zardari has taken us all on a rough, bumpy, treacherous, a rather deceptive ride. Not too long ago, I had asked my readers if they had ever experienced a desert safari in Dubai. When the desert ranger comes to pick you up from your hotel he isn't really the type you would normally trust. You discover he is a rash driver. You soon discover he goes back on his words. Then he, unexpectedly, jumps the red light. Is he a lawbreaker too! As the sun descends into the horizon, you find yourself in the middle of a dune field; crescentic sand dunes, linear and parabolic, moving dunes, reversing dunes and dunes interacting with the wind (that's present-day Pakistan). The ranger, unexpectedly, speeds the 4X4 to the top of a dune and you feel elated (that's the Bhurban Declaration). The ranger then lets the vehicle into a freefall and you feel you are in the middle of Death Valley National Park (Zardari goes back on his written commitment). When would this roller coaster end? Where would this crafty charade take us? Seems like eternity but your ranger finally stops the vehicle. You realise that you are still in one piece and that there's barbecue, henna painting and belly dancing. You stare back at your ranger but this time in a different light.
Mr Zardari has the political right as well as the legal right to occupy the presidency. Does he have the moral right? Again, let him who hasn't sinned throw the first stone…
We can talk about individuals, along with their flaws, and what they have delivered. We can talk about presidents Iskander Mirza, Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Fazal Elahi Chaudhry, Zia-ul-Haq, Ghulam Ishaq Khan, Farooq Ahmad Leghari, Rafiq Tarar and Pervez Musharraf. On the other hand, we can talk of due electoral processes and how these processes have delivered in countries around the world.
We have had our share of messiahs – uniformed and otherwise – perhaps more than our share. We need no more messiahs. Processes is what we need because processes deliver, individual don't. Systems deliver, individuals don't. Let us, for once, put processes in place, a system of governance in place. Once we have a strong system it shall on its own throw all the bad apples out.

So if you have identified this blog you're possibly in the market to buy a home. Homebuyers who make a 10 {61a7d6d5977f0b2b62c2630d11c550edf590237d81b93f9b9d8e75a9e4f25e5e} down payment rather of 20 percent will save $22,280, but the larger loan quantity and mortgage insurance adds $105 to the monthly payment. A single of the greatest gifts a parent could offer a daughter or son is a versatile loan to make a down payment on a residence, as the month-to-month payment of a mortgage should be far significantly less than the monthly rent. Tell me about it. Many times I go shopping and see folks with EBT cards purchasing lobster, steak, cookies, sodas, and non-essential items. Arm your self with this Property Hunting Checklist and bring it with you to houses you're severe about getting.
It is much better to pull out rather than risk buying a property which may possibly expense you more than you can afford in the long run. Promoting and then renting appears a pretty darn undesirable deal when that indicates (more than) doubling your monthly housing costs. This is the legal contract which will grow to be binding when you and the vendor have each signed it. If you are getting a house by means of private treaty you may possibly make the contract topic to specific conditions – eg topic to satisfactory approval of finance, topic to receiving a satisfactory developing inspection report.
You will have a lot of queries when you are buying a property, and having 1 of our skilled, responsive mortgage bankers assist you can make the approach much less difficult. The goal of a subject clause (also recognized as a condition precedent) contained in an offer you to purchase is to set out a particular situation which should be fulfilled before the sale can go through, even though the contract is legally binding as soon as it is signed by each parties.
I found a number of 3-bedroomed terraced homes advertised for sale priced at around £55,000, all within a ten-mile radius of Hull City Centre. Acquiring bank owned houses is brought with obstacles at every single turn, and not for the faint of heart. The Residence Buyer's Checklist enables a purchaser to rapidly recognize and note the certain features of a house becoming deemed to assist in figuring out whether it meets their requirements and requirements. The approach can make you want to run away or even cry since of the ultimate aggravation of it all.
Hold in thoughts that for your husband to qualify for a new mortgage without you, he must have adequate income on his own to convince the lender that he can pay the payment. Rightmove's totally free iPhone and Android apps use GPS technology to pinpoint pads for sale near exactly where you happen to be standing. Ultimately I may take into account getting a modest condo, but property ownership would require a monetary and time investment that would make me unhappy. Our What You Can Afford calculator will help you effortlessly estimate your maximum inexpensive mortgage payment of principal and interest.… Read More


text: By Scott Waltman email@example.com It wasn't her smartest decision. A Sioux Falls woman has been sentenced to time in county jail because she had drugs on her when when to pick somebody up from a trustee unit in Redfield. Lucy L. Wilkins, 23, pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine, a felony punishable by as much as 10 years in state prison and a $20,000 fine. Vic Fischbach, Spink County state's attorney, said that officials at the trustee unit were listening in on a phone call between Wilkins and the person she was going to pick up. He said Wilkins was asked if she would have "stuff" when she arrived. When she got to the center, she was stopped, and officers found that she had marijuana in her possession. Tests revealed she had cocaine in her system, and she was ultimately charged with and pleaded guilty to that more serious crime. Wilkins was sentenced to 60 days in jail and three years' probation.

WipEout Museum opens in PlayStation Home
PlayStation Home has just received its most interesting space yet: the WipEout Museum. The space, made to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the game's release, is a place for visitors to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the iconic space racers' rich history. According to Sony, "the WipEout Museum blasts away from the perception of a dusty old museum exhibit with a stunningly high-tech offering."
There is lots for you to do: you can play on the WipEout 2D arcade cabinets or try out the brand new WipEout Shooter mini-game; you can even win PlayStation Home merchandise by taking part in the Team Logo Hunt. There will also be opportunities for you to buy PlayStation Home related furniture, clothing and ornaments for your avatar and apartment.
If you want something less involving you can look at the posters, team information holograms and screens, but the main focus of interest is of course the anti-gravity racers themselves, and some of them are on display for you to view. Throughout the space you will find various WipEout themed seating areas for you to sit down in and soak up the atmosphere, a DJ space where you can select some background music, and a viewing deck that offers a stunning view of the city vista and racetrack.
The game was originally released on the PSOne back in 1995; it was developed by Psygnosis who are now known as SCE Studio Liverpool. It was meant to be a culture driven experience that ushered in a new era of futuristic games. It had a techno-style soundtrack featuring tracks from popular artists of the time from Orbital to The Chemical Brothers. You could even find WipEout cabinets in nightclubs at the time. The game is still going strong today and WipEout HD on the PSN is very good.
The museum is an excellent addition to PlayStation Home, and we highly recommend that you visit it. We'd also like to see more spaces like this. Let us know the games you'd like to see immortalised with their own PlayStation Home museum space by writing in the comments section below…

Chairman Bill said "Instead of smoking, I vape in my e-cigar propylene-glycol with nicotine that has flavourings added - banana, vanilla, etc.
Of late I have been 'cutting' the e-liquid with BP glycerine to make it go further, which does tend to dry out the mucous membranes a tad. However, my question is about added flavourings.
Given the e-liquid is vaporised prior to inhalation, what chemicals that commonly appear in food flavourings should I keep well clear of. I believe caramel bungs up the works of the e-cigar due to the sugars, but I'm led to believe that food flavourings can also have some added chemicals that can undergo a transition when vapourised and could be dangerous.
Blowed if I know, Bill.
It's not that a particular flavouring is dangerous. I am assuming that they are not burnt in the normal cigar/cigarette sense. If that is the case, they are all dangerous.
If the vaporisation is not at a particularly high temperature, they should all be OK.

Flavoured e-Cigars
Posted by Lee at 8:32 PM
Labels: additives, carcinogens, health
2 comments:
Lee - the temperature is not partucularly high, but I heard that some manufactured (i.e Frankenstein) flavourings have chemicals which become unstable at even relatively low temperatures (low in relative terms). Can't remember what the hell they are though. What I do remember is that they ain't 'natural' - i.e. can't be found in the original object that the flavour is based on.ReplyDelete
Will do some digging.
I believe caramel bungs up the works of the e cigars with different flavour due to the sugars, but I'm led to believe that food flavourings can also have some added chemicals that can undergo a transition when vapourised and could be dangerous.I would like to use e cigar with different flavours.ReplyDelete

Strasbourg Commentary Plenary Session 13th - 16th Feb 2012
There is only one topic of note this week, the Euro, but before that just two votes of note, illustrating the continued arrogance of these people.
On Tuesday a vote showing that it is not only Boston Fishermen who are at the mercy of the CFP, in its wider sense. The Haglund report was voted in by 628 - 22 which is about renewal of fishing agreements with yet another third world country, Guinea-Bissau. This will allow European fishing fleets to go on plundering the waters of this West African country. The fleets in question are those of Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal and France. As always they will out-fish the locals andreduce fish stocks to dangerously low levels. By the way, on one of my recent visits to the Eastern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Agency to try to help Boston Fishermen I remarked that the shortage of fish in UK waters was due to over fishing, primarily by fleets from Spain and France. That went down very badly with the officials of EIFCA!
On Wednesday a vote on a report on Constitutional Affairs. This was to restrict the number of RCV votes on "Own Initiative" reports; the equivalent of a private members bill in the Commons. Little notice is taken of them. An RCV vote is one where we vote electronically. The point is that all RCVs are then on record and can be accessed from the Parliament website. Special interest groups do exactly that and can come on to us querying why we voted the way we did. Perfectly proper. But, this is probably the thin end of a wedge, where restricting the number of RCVs on own initiative reports could well extend to reports of much more importance; and a lack of transparency. I think British people have the right to know how I voted, especially on important issues.
But, already this week, we have seen the attitude of the new president, Martin Schultz, spreading down to Vice- Presidents. In his speech Stuart Agnew remarked that thepolicy in question was illegal and incoherent while the Commissioner was stupid, only to be corrected, can't call a Commissioner stupid, apparently.
On Wednesday afternoon we were treated to an address by Mario Monti the new, unelected, Premier of Italy, all 28 minutes of it. Totally boring, all the usual phrases, promises, but no real indication of actual action, except that we need discipline. Interestingly several lead speakers of the left were opposed to the "Troika" now running Greece and Italy and one actually said that ideology will destroy the EU! The EFD speaker was the co-chairman, Francisco Speroni. Be not surprised to hear that he was cut off when going beyond his allocated 2 minutes by a few seconds but that earlier speakers, who had more time in the first place, ran over by a minute or more. Schultz was in the chair.
Monti illustrated the EU leadership's arrogant attitude. Its more than arrogance of course, they are in denial, they just do not believe that they are unable to mend the economies of the poorer southern countries and preserve the Euro. Just keep throwing money at it and install dictators if the elected Premiers and Governments do not toe the line. Meanwhile you will all have seen some of the action from Athens last Sunday and will have been looking for Nigel to comment.
A while ago I received an email from one of our members complaining that he had seen a video clip by Dan Hannan, which was very good, but why did we not get something from Nigel? We have all done clips for TV, including me, and you may have seen them on U Tube, but they receive no coverage on national TV. This complainant does not seem to understand that we do not control the airwaves in this country. Foreign broadcasting is a different story. I did 5 minutes for an American radio show which was well received. I once made the front page of the leading Amsterdam newspaper. Even national leaders often go abroad to speak on Britain.
So please see below the links for Nigel's contribution to the debate on the Euro crisis. You will notice that these do not come from UK broadcasters but I hope you appreciate the stand that Nigel takes.

Readers, your girl is in need of a short break and is hoping to escape for a lovely short city break in Europe. This is all very last minute and rushed, but the basics are I'll be travelling solo, flying out on Saturday and staying for three days in either Lisbon, Barcelona, Copenhagen and Vienna. I thought I'd fill you all in on my dilemma as I'm hoping to take advantage of my global audience for advice. Maybe you live in these cities or have visited them before – I'm looking for advice on what there is to do and see, any festivals or events going on this weekend? Please feel free to leave comments or email me directly with suggestions – but be quick I have to book my holiday by Friday at the latest! Yikes!

The weather radars that use microwave signals are around since the 1950's. Their chief role is to find each the placement and intensity of any precipitation. to try to to this the measuring instrument, that stands for…Continue

My uncle is a farmer. I grew up on a farm, and the weather plays a big part in the work and in the lifestyle. At times, I struggled with technology but having the WeatherBug App on my phone helps with my day to day lifestyle. It helps with making decisions and it puts my mind at ease, especially when I'm absent from the farm.
I grow crops in a few greenhouses. The greenhouse is double edged…Continue

We brewed Commonwealth Ale in honor of the historic advance toward beer as food. To achieve this flavorful session we added amaranth, millet and teff - grains that nourished the earliest civilizations - along with Tamalpais Barley grown and malted in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
Tasting Notes
A medium, light bodied ale with mild nutty character, Commonwealth is balanced by earthy and grassy hop aromas and flavors. Enjoy this easy-to-drink, malty delight while supporting the arts and helping feed those less fortunate. Malty notes up front. Bready, toasted, slightly nutty malt flavor from the Tamalpais and other specialty malts. Very mild hop balance that is a bit earthy and grassy. Pleasant medium-light body that finishes crisp and easy. Commonwealth satisfies the body and soul! Enjoy!
Food Pairings
This beer pairs well with most foods. Artisan breads, poultry, fish, and pork even a burger are great. Commonwealth also pairs well with a cheese plate, picnic foods, fresh salads and a variety of sweets from cakes, to custards, to short bread.

(But seriously what are those?)
How I imagine my life looks.
How it actually looks.
This weekend had a whole lot going on. But first let's rewind to Thursday.
I took both of the children to the pediatrician for their well child visits (at the same time!) where I was informed they both had double ear infections (though Critter's was on the way out). MOM OF THE YEAR RIGHT HERE.
On Friday a friend informed me their child had the flu. Which transported me back to our time together at library storytime the day before where this little one had HUGGED Glitter. So she is on Tamiflu now too!
Anyway, no one has gotten sick (or sicker) so thanks be to God for those mercies.
On Saturday my playgroup had a moms' day/night that was so needed. I ate a lot of carbs, we workshopped preventative botox and there was of course, wine.
Today, we went on a day-date with Glitter (Critter napped at the grandparents' house) to Omni Brewing. Which ironically is owned by some friends but they opened it when I was pregnant the first time so this is the first time I got to drink their beer!
(And we got Culver's because you bring your own food to these places and today I REALLY needed a cheeseburger. Like I finished it and thought I SHOULD HAVE ORDERED TWO.)
Last week we did the same and visited the Fulton Taproom. So it has been nice to go out together and act like normal adults.
All in all, it was a pretty great weekend. 🙂

Cross Keys came to the Park on Saturday determined to end their recent losing streak and maintain their top-four position. The game ultimately, however, was to be determined by the atrocious weather conditions. Although the playing surface stood up well considering the teams warmed up and played through hail, heavy rain and the occasional glint of sunlight.
In the first half the Quins were perhaps guilty of trying to play too much rugby and Cross Keys were generally more "savvy" at the breakdowns. This combined with judicious kicking put the home side on the back foot time and time again after running at the opposition and the wet ball making passing, handling and off-loading difficult.
Scoring was always going to be problematic. James Dixon hit the cross bar with an early penalty attempt and the only score approaching the interval was from a Dorian Jones penalty. There was an audible groan from the crowd, therefore, when the Quins opted to turn down a penalty attempt in front of the posts just before half time in favour of going for touch. The option came to nothing and the half-time score remained 0 – 3.
Carmarthen attacked from the restart and the score was soon levelled with a Dixon penalty. From then on the Quins tended to be the better side although the visitors were still frustrating them at the breakdown and set pieces. Lee Williams, always looking for action off his wing, made a couple of good breaks and then Jason Harries made a decisive break before passing to Alex Pickersgill. He was brought down short but the resulting penalty gave the home side a narrow lead.
Both sides now tried to play a territorial game but the conditions were taking their toll causing missed opportunities and many stoppages for injury. It was on 80 min. but probably with 12 min. left to play due to injury that Carmarthen pulled further away with another Dixon penalty. It was then five minutes later that Cross Keys kicked deep into the Quins half, Darren Daniel fielded the ball, knocking off would be tacklers, before off-loading to Jason Harries. He then made 30m. to touch down in the corner for a well-deserved but unconverted try.
The final score was Carmarthen Quins 14 Cross Keys 3. The home side deserved their win but I am also sure that the poor weather conditions masked their true superiority somewhat.
Next Match ~ Friday 9th. November away to Llanelli (evening kick off)

In a surprising turn, longtime Congressional Representative Alexander Stephens was chosen as President for the provisional government of the Confederate States of America to hold office until formal elections could be held. The constitutional convention meeting in Montgomery, Alabama, had been expected to choose Jefferson Davis, who had twice served as senator from Mississippi as well as being the Secretary of War under Franklin Pierce. However, it became clear that Davis would rather serve his country as a general, and so Stephens was chosen, as he was also a moderate, instead of fiery secessionists Howell Cobb and Robert Toombs. While Toombs had called for war almost immediately (his farewell speech to the US Senate had included, "as one man would meet you upon the border with the sword in one hand and the torch in the other"), Stephens was slow to raise arms. Earlier in the convention that elected him, he campaigned against secession and detailed the American political system with the Republicans holding a minority in Congress and, even if any laws were to be passed around them, the Supreme Court would continue the status quo, as it had in its 7-2 decision in the Dred Scott case four years before.
After the election of 1860 gave Lincoln the White House, Stephens was sent as a delegate to the convention judging the question of secession. Stephens opposed it, arguing that the South bide its time, but was eventually convinced on the grounds of the North not abiding by the Fugitive Slave Law. As one of his first acts in the presidency, Stephens gave his impromptu "Cornerstone Speech" in Savannah describing the new constitution the convention had written, clarifying its differences from that of the United States. While Lincoln referred to the famous line "all men are created equal" in the Declaration of Independence, Stephens replied, "Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas" and called slavery a "natural and moral condition." Stephens also outlined economic independence rather than the Federalism of the North, stating, "If Charleston harbor needs improvement, let the commerce of Charleston bear the burden. If the mouth of the Savannah river has to be cleared out, let the sea-going navigation which is benefited by it, bear the burden."
Finally, Stephens also noted the significance of Fort Sumter, which would prove the first issue of his presidency. Lincoln, only a month into his own presidency, ordered a relief expedition after skillfully dodging any agreements with the South that would have served as a political recognition of the CSA instead of considering it a rogue government. He notified South Carolina's Governor Pickens of a delivery of "provisions only", and Pickens turned to General P.G.T. Beauregard, who relayed the information to Stephens. While his cabinet (interestingly, though, not Secretary of State Robert Toombs) called for an attack to clear out the fort, Stephens ordered the CSA to stand down, and Lincoln achieved his goal of feeding Sumter. Stephens was declared "yellow" by many, but the political tide turned back to favor the South a month later when the heavy-handed actions of Union General Lyon in the West attacked parading Missouri State Militia called up by secessionist Governor Claiborne "Fox" Jackson.
While not enough to swing Virginia's support to the South, Yankees were increasingly perceived as brutes, tarnishing Lincoln's image, who sent additional troops to Missouri and Kansas, resulting in secession by Arkansas. Guerilla fighting continued, but it was never enough to make a full move against the South without seeming the aggressor. The quasi-war dragged on for years until Lincoln lost his bid at reelection in 1864, and President Horace Greeley was elected by Copperheads to end the war.
Stephens retired the presidency after his single term (as per the CSA constitution) in 1867 as a hero who had "waited out the Union" and became governor of Georgia, confirming the supremacy of the states. The Confederacy continued on its states' rights, later seeing the secession of the Republic of Texas in 1874 (who later had a number of military disputes with both the US and CS as the West became settled). Attempts were made to add Caribbean and Middle American states to the Confederacy, but each turned into either military blunders or economic burdens. By the 1890s, the South was seen as economically and culturally stunted compared to the great wealth and strength of the industrialized North. A movement began around the turn of the century to rejoin the Union, but many on both sides would refuse. President Theodore Roosevelt's 1907 Goodwill Tour proved for naught after it brought international attention to the deplorable poverty of newly freed Africans and entrenched the crippling conservatism of the nation.
In reality, though Davis wanted to serve as a general, he willingly took the office of president when he was unanimously chosen to do so. CSA Vice-President Stephens disagreed with Davis on many of his policies and constantly pressed for attempts at peace, which was impossible once the war had begun.
Showing events on this day in years past that shaped history... just, not our history.

The moment that I put my faith in you
Is when my wounded heart begins to doubt you.
The moment I know what I feel is true,
My vanity starts telling lies about you.
I don't leave well enough alone in love.
I probe it like a wound to find the bullet.
I question what I should be trusting of.
Whatever's labeled DO NOT TOUCH, I pull it.
There is a terrorist in me who lives
To blow up innocence, crown Fear as king,
And make my heart pull back before it gives
Till it expects and causes suffering.
He wins, unless I'm brave enough to bleed,
Not for what fails me, but makes me succeed.
