5 out of 5
I probably will by again but may not use too regularly as I dread the horrific mess it makes, and if I can get a larger size in a pump I would prefer that as when you get to the end of the bottle it dispenses in bigger blobs, thus wasting product. Since the color and evenness, along with the price, are so good, I certainly recommend it and I am sure I'll use it again. 2/15/2012

Very natural looking tan. from Toronto, ON Verified Purchaser T
he tan I got was very close to my natural color of a tan. Doesn't have the usual self-tanner scent - smells like almonds. I apply it every other day to maintain the color. Stains hands a lot even if you wash them immediately after and will stain your bedding as well (but washes away without a trace on white sheets). Palms of your hands return to normal color by the afternoon the next day. One bottle lasts for approximately 2-3 weeks with every other day application on a petite body. Review posted 6/16/2012.

Lisbie: No Offside
Kevin Lisbie felt his late 'equaliser` in the U`s defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday should have stood.
Lisbie, who had already found the net once in the game, met Phil Ifil`s low cross, only to see the assistant referee raise his flag for offside.
The Jamaican told The Colchester Gazette: 'I thought I was right behind the defender.'
'Phil (Ifil) did really well to get the ball in for me I didn't think that there was any way that I could have been offside.
'If I was, it would have been rubbish on my part.' He explained.
Lisbie also said of how he and his team-mates will not give up: "We're not going to give up, especially for the gaffer because he's been brilliant."
"We know we have to pull our fingers out and the players all have to take responsibility." He added.

I love Sukin products as a whole and this one was definitely not a disappointment. I've actually just finished up using this bottle. Sukin is a great brand for sensitive skin types because they are very conscious about not using potentially irritating ingredients. This toner is a very light formula and is especially great if your skin is at all irritated. I've been using this after chemically exfoliating my skin and it's really helped to prevent my skin from feeling at all dry.
You can spritz this directly onto the face if you prefer, or onto a cotton pad as I do. It is quite a light mist so if you apply it directly to the face make sure to fully cover your whole face.
Because this is so light and non-irritant it also makes a great summer face mist. This is very gentle on sunburnt skin. My skin gets super sensitive and sometimes irritated by even my usual gentle products but this toner was just great.
Definitely recommend this and while I like to keep trying out new products I think I may have to get a little bottle of this to add to my skincare essentials.

At the morning flag hoisting ceremony held at the Consulate premises, more than 100 members of the Indian community in Shanghai joined in despite of the freezing temperatures. Consul General unfurled the national flag and read out excerpts from Hon'ble President's address to the nation. A select group of Indian community members rendered patriotic songs on the occasion. Indian Students from Suzhou also travelled to Shanghai to join in the flag hoisting celebrations. An informal gathering over light refreshments at Consulate's Culture & Exhibition hall followed the event.

Enroll in FreedomWorks University today!
The year that we are bidding farewell to has been nothing short of creepy when one considers it through the prism of personal freedom. As I write this, I'm fairly certain the NSA is watching me through the lights on my Christmas tree, which also seem to be blinking "What are you wearing?" in Morse code. We have a unilateral edict egomaniac in the White House and we are mere hours away from the IRS being able to demand your financials AND your latest colonoscopy pics (trust me, they'll get there).
Forty-six national organizations, fighting to reverse the government takeover of health care, have signed the following letter, urging Republicans at all levels to stand firm against ObamaCare's health care "exchanges" and to take decisive action to resist the recent IRS power grab that threatens to impose exchanges on all 50 states in violation of law.
I've been following the national health care reform debate for nearly 20 years, and you know what? It turns out to be very simple. Cut through all the bureaucratic jargon and mind-numbing acronyms, and there are only two basic ideas in health policy: HMOs and HSAs. That's it.
FreedomWorks hosted a live blog event, "How to Stop ObamaCare at the State Level" on Tuesday, May 22. This post summarizes the hour-long session, and we will have other posts detailing the various topics. Activists should urge state legislators to avoid implementing all parts of Obamacare, and force the federal government to fund its own mandates.
It's pretty clear to most folks who pay even a little attention to freedom, individual liberty, and other good things that an insurance mandate may run afoul of a little thing many of us miss called the Constitution. Numerous activists have called asking about this, more have commented through the website, and all of us know that, should ObamaCare pass, there will definitely be a constitutional challenge.

Hawaiiana fans need to act fast if they want to see the long-awaited "Princess Kaiulani" movie in the Bay Area, which will leave most theaters after Thursday. It's a good time to decide for yourself if the initial controversy surrounding the historical drama — set during the U.S.-backed overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, and formerly (and ironically) titled "Barbarian Princess" — was justified.
The film, centered on the real-life Princess Victoria Ka'iulani, screens today and Thursday at:
- noon, 5 and 10 p.m. at Embarcadero Center Cinemas, S.F.;
- 1 p.m. at UA Stonestown, S.F.;
- 2:30, 4:40, 7 and 9:20 p.m. at Elmwood Rialto in Berkeley;
- 7:35 p.m. at the downtown San Jose Camera 12.
Jeanne Cooper / Special to SFGate
But as of Friday, June 4, "Princess Kaiulani" is scheduled to screen only at matinees at the San Jose Camera 12. Booked into numerous cinemas in Hawai'i, the movie has had a harder time finding an audience on the Mainland, according to executive producer Jeffrey Au, interviewed by phone June 1.
"The vast majority of people attending (in the Bay Area) are the non-Hawai'i arthouse crowd, as opposed to people from Hawai'i," said Au, a Stanford graduate (BA '85, MA '86.) "There are twice as many people from Hawai'i here on the Mainland as in Hawai'i, but they're more spread out."
Au also blames the financial crash of 2008, which put some distributors out of business and limited the producers' budget for advertising and publicity, and the major studios' summer slate for driving "Princess Kaiulani" out of theaters early. "It's run a good three weeks (but) it's a crowded, competitive time with all the blockbusters."
What Au doesn't fault is the content of the movie, written and directed by British filmmaker Marc Forby. The production raised eyebrows in Hawai'i not only with its working "Barbarian" title, but also with the casting of non-Hawaiian Q'orianka Kilcher (of "New World" fame) in the eponymous role and its not-strictly-factual depiction of the revered royal during a period that still has painful, political reverberations. Au will host a Q&A after tonight's 7:35 p.m. screening in San Jose, the last in a series of discussions in the Bay Area, where some of the same issues have been raised.
"Oftentimes it's said that the film is not historically accurate. The important thing is that it's not intended to be — it's analagous to a painting, not a photograph," Au said. "It's not that it provides all of the answers or any of the answers, which a documentary is supposed to provide. The importance of the film is that it raises questions in people's mind, it raises awareness and it generates interest. That's what art is supposed to do…
"Having said that, the film is historically based, and it has more research behind it than most films that get to the big screen. Marc Forby spent two to three years at the state archives, and we tried to stay true to the spirit of Princess Ka'iulani," Au said.
"Why I like this film is that its perspective is not sympathetic to the Hawaiians; it's empathetic to the Hawaiians," he added. "It helps you to start see these questions of race, politics, war, economics, class, royalty and common people, social injustice from the perspective of Native Hawaiians — not to sympathize with them as some poor victims, or disrespect them, but to be empathetic. If that comes across, I hope it achieves our objectives."
As for casting the half-Swiss German, half-indigenous Peruvian Kilcher in the role of the half-Hawaiian, half-Scottish princess, Au noted, "All else being equal, of course we would have loved to have a Hawaiian lead. But when you look at Q'orianka's performance and you see how great it is, you have to take everything in consideration. It's not that the others were so bad –it's that Q'orianka was so good. There's pretty broad consensus that she carried the film, and she was only 18 when she filmed it."
In his interview of Kilcher published in the Chronicle May 12, G. Allen Johnson mentioned briefly that Kilcher grew up in Hawai'i, which Au expanded upon.
"Q'orianka may not have Hawaiian blood, but she did spend years growing up in Hawai'i, and she does qualify as a local girl. She learned to dance hula at a very young age. … in her soul there is a certain level of authenticity," Au said. "As the saying goes, you can take the kid out of the islands, but not the islands out of the kid. One of the first things she did before she started filming was to go to the Royal Mausoleum and take flowers to Princess Ka'iulani's grave to pay her respects. Those are the kinds of values you learn growing up in Hawai'i."
Au said he's been pleased by the "emotional response" to the movie he's seen so far, especially among Hawaiian audiences, adding "Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians alike love the beauty of the film."
And with a biracial president from Hawai'i in the White House and the Akaka bill, which would essentially give Native Hawaiians the same federal recognition as Native Americans, awaiting a vote by the Senate, the film's political content is timely, Au said.
And while "it's by no means the last word, or has all the answers," Au said, "it's the beginning of a conversation.
But if you want to join in the conversation, you'd better see it while you can. And if you have seen "Princess Kaiulani," feel free to share your comments about it below. (I'm withholding my review in the interest of brevity, but suffice it to say I'm glad I had the opportunity to see it.)

When it comes to issuing Executive Orders, our President is in some very good company:
Yes, we have had many Presidents who have issued Executive Orders, but not to change a law written and passed by Congress. What this President is doing is changing law with his Executive Orders. He has also changed the wording to make it different in the minds of the people. He calls his Executive Orders "Executive Actions". His are different and very dangerous. His violate the Constitution by bypassing Congress. Only Congress can write law.
Although there is no constitutional provision nor statute that explicitly permits executive orders, there is a vague grant of "executive power" given in Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 of the Constitution, and furthered by the declaration "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" made in Article II, Section 3, Clause 5. Most executive orders use these Constitutional reasonings as the authorization allowing for their issuance to be justified as part of the President's sworn duties.
Every U.S. president expect William Henry Harrison has used an Executive Order at least once. President George W.Bush had 291 Executive Orders, President Obama still hasn't gone over 200 yet. Executive Orders are not a violation of the Constitution and if the President does sign an Executive Order that is unconstitutional the U.S. Court system can overrule it and nullify it (which has happened) therefore there is still a check and balance in place.
Ironside, since Republicans control the House of Representatives, why doesn't Boehner or another Republican lead the charge? Your assertion that it would pass with overwhelming bi-partisan support is not supported by any Congrssional actions over the past six years.
We soon will have guns on Georgia college campuses as it looks very likely that 21-year-olds with concealed carry permits will soon be allowed to bring guns on campus.Expect all types of gun crime to escalate.Will professors then be required to carry guns?
42, you are correct in your research on Executive Orders. Here however is the difference:
1. Those struck down by the Courts were issued to get around a law passed by Congress, which is what this President is doing.
2. Two Federal Judges have issued rulings last December stating that this President is in violation of the Constitution with his Excutive Orders because his change the law and only Congess can change a Law.
The reason the Republicans do not lead on the issue of gun control for the mentally ill, is the Democrats would never focus on just the mentally ill. They would push for many other groups of people to deny their second Amendment Right like returning soldiers.
In today's paper is a story saying the right to carry on campus has be dropped by the Republicans. The States,cities and towns with the lowest per-capita crime rate are those that have "Right to Carry" laws.
Finally, are you in favor of what the President is doing with Excutive Orders?
Ironside, you stated "The reason the Republicans do not lead on the issue of gun control for the mentally ill, is the Democrats would never focus on just the mentally ill. They would push for many other groups of people to deny their second Amendment Right like returning soldiers."
Probably your biggest copout this year (and I realize it's early). If that's the reason Republicans don't lead the charge why would you think any provision proposed by the President would fare differently? And I do not believe I have ever heard any Democrat mention depreriving "returning soldiers" of their rights to bear arms.
This President leads on nothing. He does not get concenus on anything he does. It is his way or the highway. A President is the only elected official who represents "ALL THE PEOPLE". It is his responsibility to lead on issues to find concenus so that the country moves forward for the benifit of ALL the American People. He has failed to do this. This is why the Republicans can not trust him to work with them on any issue. Thus the grid-lock in Washington caused by this President. He has never lead any organization in his life. Where did he learn to lead others to concenus? Sadly, it shows. Clint Eastwood was right, he is an empty suit, and all our wishing can't change it. The emperor has no clothes.
You still have not answered "The most important question". Do you approve of the President's use of Executive Orders?
I approve any President's use of an Executive Order. Just as I approve Congress' power to pass a specific law negating that EO. Or the right of anyone to challenge that EO's legality in a Federal court. I believe it's called balance of power or some such term.
I could read your first paragraph on a Rush Limbaugh transcript.
There are those out there that are comparing the number of Executive Orders issued by this and other TPOTUS' It is not the number that is most disturbing, but the actions taken in those orders.
Case in point:
A former President was a street cop, who later became a police commissioner years before he ever step foot in that old big white house. While President he created the Bureau of Investigation by Executive Order. This bureau later became to be known as the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation). Who was this former cop turned President? TR as he liked to be known. Theodore Roosevelt. He hated being called Teddy.
TR became President by accident. The assassination of William McKinley. Like Obama he was not known to the American people before becoming President. He shares some other traits with Obama. He thought he was smarter than everyone else. He did not like working with Congress and was the first Progressive (Socialist) President. Obama stated TR was one of his favorite Presidents. He liked his style.
Woodrow the President of Princeston University and champion of the new European Socialist Progressive Movement was the first Democrat Progressive President. TR was Republican and Woodrow followed TR and used WWI to grow our non military government dramatically. He got the 16th Amendment passed (Income Tax )which has taken more Freedom away from the American People than any other single thing until Obamacare which will take the life of the elderly because of the government death panels, through deniel of treatment. Woodrow also got the 17th Amendment passed that forever changed the fundalmental relationship between the Federal government and the States. Senators today hold their loyalty to the political party they belong to. Prior to the 17th Amendment Senators held their loyalty to their State. Instead of the States being incharge of the Federal Government, now the Federal Government can be incharge of the States. Our States are and always have been Free and Independent States that gtanted certain government fuctions for the good of all the States, by creating a stronger Federal Government than the Articals of Confederation had. Those fuctions that the States granted the Federal Government are clearly stated and limited in the contract that the States wrote to establish this relationship. It is called the Constitution. The States created the Federal Government and they can change it, or do away with it, by calling for a Constitutional Convention. We may be closer to having a Constitutional Convention than you think. Lastly, I know that the States are Free and Independent States because the last paragraph in the Declaration of Independence says so.
TR was the first Republican Progessive President and Woodrow was the first Democrat Progressive President. We have had others.
The Civil War should have ended the political philosophy you seem to be advocating.
Insurance companies have been operating death panels for years
During the Spanish American War, more American soldiers died from tainted rations than Spanish bullets. Be thankful that the Progressives had the good sense to curb the worst excesses of the Gilded Age. We could use some modern day Progressives to reverse the damage caused by the so called Reagan Revolution.
So now the fact that all of us will die from something, is the fault of insuance companies,who do not deny life saving medical treatment. The fact that our military rations spoiled in the tropical climate of Cuba during the Spanish American War, was not the fault of the Gilded Age.
Insurance companies deny. treatment on a regular basis. European countries refused to import American meat at the turn of the century because of our very low standards.
Insurance companies do not deny life theating medical treatment. The Obama care Death Panels already have. It took a Federal judge to approve a lung transfer for a 12 year old girl, because Kathleen Sabilius said NO! Upton Sinclair's writing on our turn of the century meat industry is how Free People and a Free Press keep unscrupulous people held accountable. Some people in government are unscrupulous. They lie, cheat, and steal. There are some in business that also lie, cheat, and steal. It is human nature. Our system of government can hold them accountable by suing and charging them with criminal activity. Any system has these type people. Life is not perfect, It is not a utopia. But what our Founding Fathers gave us is the best system in an imperfect world.
mbraz: What is your point. Did you read this blog and it's comments? Those numbers in the cartoon you site are of executive orders given to the employees of the Executive Branch, that the President runs, to do something within the legal purview of that co-equal branch of government. Excutive orders are illigal unConstitutional when they change a law passed by Congress or try to circumvent the Constitutional authority of Congress. This is what President Obama is doing.He has issued more unConstitutional illegal Executive Orders than all the previous Presidents combined. It is not the number of excutive orders that are in question. It is the number of illegal unConstitutional executive orders issued by this President that is the point of this blog.
I failed to respond to Fly about his comment " The Civil War should have ended the political philosophy you seem to be advocating." I am advocating the power vested in our Free and Independent States in the 10th Amendment. Those functions of government lent to the newly formed Federal Government, BY THE STATES, listed in Article I section 8 are limited. All others are the responsibility of the States. The States created the Federal Government. The Southern States knew this and used this against the Federal Government to preserve Slavery. The fact that the Southern States invoked "States Rights" (the 10th Amendment) to preserve Slavery doesn't change the Rights of the States to protect their citizens from an autocratic Federal Government. The South was wrong to use their States Rights to protect their institution of slavery.
Lincoln, in his first Inaugural Address pleads with the South to honor their commitment to the Declaration of Independence that they too fought and died for. That fundamental proposition "that all men are created equal". No man has a right to own another man's life. That concept was from the Old World way of governing people that our forefathers fled from. Here in the New World it would be different. Men and women would be free to pursue there own Happiness and government would be organized to protect it.
Finally, the problem that the Left has is a lack of knowledge about the founding of our great nation, thanks to the control they have had of our public education system for the past 60 years. The left has insured that this part of American history is not taught in our schools. It doesn't fit into their Socialist political agenda of changing America into an Old World style government that controls people's lives.
Ironside, take a breath. "Obama's death panels", really? And just where are these "death panels"? Who's on them? And your assertion that insurance companies do not withold life saving treatments is patently false. There are untold numbers of instances in which treatment has been denied because a)the policy doesn't cover this, b)we think this was a preexisting condition, c) you've maxed your coverage, and d) feel free to add your own money saving excuse here.
Your lung transplant example is totally wrong. Sibelius had nothing to do with the initial decision and the 12 year old was not being denied a lung transplant. The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (created by Congress and signed into law by Reagan in 1984) was waiting on pediatric lungs based upon existing guidelines. The parents sued in Federal court (as is their constitutional right) and won. Just like the Constitution outlines. You should be happy.
And I'm surprised you cited such a raging Socialist as Upton Sinclair as an example of holding government accountable. Interesting.
The mother went to the courts because Sabilius said NO. Sabilius was upholding the law under Obamacare. She was unwilling to set a precedent that would have changed what she had written into the the Obamacare law. So she said NO. The government is now incharge of your health care and it will decide whether you live or die. What a country the Liberals are designing
So, you have no specifics. You merely rant. Have you not looked at the OPTN web site? What does Obamacare have to do with this decision - which was based upon existing guidelines?
And, I still want to know how to apply to be a death panel member. Let me know who to call.
I wish you well if you ever need the government's approval for an expensive lifesaving procedure. Let me know so I can pray for you. As for the Death Panels, you can contact Sabilius.
As well the government as the insurance company. I pay them both. Yet neither is very responsive in serious times of personal need. Funny how large scale anything works the same.
Appreciate any prayers offered on my behalf.
I could not have said it better. Big Business becomes Big Business because the company,like GE, cozy up to the politicians to get special treatment from the government. Environmental laws designed to destory the coal industry and replace it with GE windmills is an example. Most Big Business companies got that way thanks to laws, rules and regulations that the politicians got passed for them at the expense of their competition. Bottom line is, nothing that involves people will be perfect, however, the federal government involvement into business activity should be limited to Acticle I section 8 of the Constitution. States can further regulate business if needed. The trend toward Big Government and Big Business thanks to government,is dangerous to our economy and our pursuit of happiness. The taxpayer becomes the fall guy when things fail, not the company that caused it, because that is how the politicians set it up.
Clearly, when it comes to Obama, or the Democrats, or anyone you perceive as not being conservative enough, you're in permanent "have you stopped beating your wife?" mode!
To wit: the policies that had made that 10-year-old (not 12, and it matters!) girl ineligible to receive a lung transplant were set in place decades before the ACA even existed, were developed and are implemented by medical experts, not politicians. Sebelius declined to override the decision of those medical experts; no doubt if she had done so, you'd be screeching about yet another example of liberal government officials deciding they know better than the experts!
Sorry Scindapsus: When Obamacare was put into law, it has the Death Panels in it. The Death Panels have the Final say if the government will pay for a procedure. The mother of the girl wanted Sabilious to use the new Obamacare law that now supersedes the law you cite, to approve her daughter's transplant. We got a clear insite into how these Dealth Panels will respond to requests. If it has to do with health care Obamacare is the law of the land.

Single Vehicle Injury Collision on WKP
Date of News Release: 05/27/2014
Central City, KY (Muhlenberg County) - The Kentucky State Police investigated a single-vehicle, injury collision that occurred on the Western Kentucky Parkway, at approximately the 64 mile-marker, on Tuesday, May 27, 2014, at 2:01 p.m.
The preliminary investigation revealed that Benjamin Lipford, 50, of Copley, OH, was operating a 2000 Ford Excursion eastbound on the Western Kentucky Parkway when his vehicle experienced a tire failure which caused him to lose control. The vehicle crossed the median and overturned multiple times. It came to rest on its top in the westbound lanes.
Mr. Lipford and his wife, Serena Lipford, 43, were both wearing seatbelts and were not injured. Two of their children, Erika Lipford, 17, and Matthew Lipford, 13, were not injured. Their three other children, Andrenna Lipford, 16, Kerena Lipford, 19, and Benjamin Lipford Jr., 15, were transported via ambulance to the Muhlenberg Community Hospital for treatment. None of the children were wearing seatbelts. Mr. Lipford's mother, Annie Parish, 73, of Akron, OH, was flown from the scene to the Vanderbilt Medical Center for treatment. Ms. Parish was not wearing a seatbelt.
Trooper Craig Engler investigated the collision. KSP CVE Sergeant Del Miller, KSP CVE Officer Timothy Blankenship, the Central City Fire Department, Muhlenberg County EMS, and PHI Air Medical assisted at the scene.

ThomasMansfield Reveal How to Get the Best from a Severance Agreement
By: PR Newswire
Feb. 11, 2013 09:48 AM
LONDON, February 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Are you thinking of leaving your job? Employment solicitors ThomasMansfield are on hand to help you read between the lines
Few employees need telling that the face of the jobs market has altered remarkably in the last four and a half years, since the credit crunch of 2008. In that time, 2.7 million people have been made redundant - equivalent to one in ten employees at the start of the recession.
The increasing instability of modern workplaces - where flexible contracts and freelance operations allow both more freedom yet also a much reduced sense of support and ongoing growth - means that redundancy is no longer a distant nightmare, but a much more pressing threat.
For employees who face redundancy in 2013, the fact is that their own performance may well have very little to do with it. Increased economic pressures and the demand to downsize on companies which, prior to the recession, were expanding exponentially, are hitting employers hard.
Ironically, even redundancy itself is an expensive business - it is estimated to have cost UK employers £28.6 billion in the last four and a half years; and with more big name companies reporting losses or liquidation (HMV now potentially joining recent names like Jessops), it is not going to go away.
What does a severance agreement have to do with redundancy?
When an employer wishes to make an employee redundant, the employee may be offered a severance agreement.
Also known as a compromise agreement, this agreement makes an arrangement for the employer to pay the employee a certain amount of money so that the employee will contractually agree not to file any complaints or claims against that company.
It sounds like a tricky business because it is a tricky business. For both employers, and especially the concerned employees, it is something of a minefield.
The purpose of the agreement is simple:
How does it happen?
It is common to use a solicitor to help the employee through the many potential issues of a severance agreement. In order for the employer to be able to enforce the agreement the employee must receive legal advice on the agreement before the agreement is signed.
The employer will usually make a contribution towards the employee's costs for receiving legal advice on the agreement. The key questions the solicitor or advisor will be looking to resolve are:
This process is usually followed by a discussion between the parties on any outstanding issues before the agreement can be signed. Employees are reminded that once a compromise agreement is signed, it is not possible to take the company to court regarding employment law issues unless the company itself has broken the terms of the agreement.

A 45-year old woman has been airlifted to hospital following a road traffic collision in Badby,
Her car was involved in a head on collision with another car yesterday afternoon (Thursday).
East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) were first on the scene and reported that the patient was unresponsive. They decided to call in Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA) to provide advanced pre-hospital care to the patient.
The crew from DLRAA left base at 2:25pm and landed at the scene 10 minutes later. They landed approximately 100 metres from the incident.
On their arrival, the patient had been extricated from the vehicle and was found alert and in the recovery position. On initial assessment she appeared to have no life threatening injuries, however further assessment revealed bruising and potential abdominal injuries.
She was given advanced pain relief and medication to help with blood loss before being immobilised and airlifted to University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire for further treatment.
Her current condition is unknown.

The capital of Zambia, Lusaka, counts itself amongst the fastest developing cities in southern Africa; a business hub with English as its official language. For many visitors, however, it is the lure of the region's incredible wildlife which draws them to the area and, more specifically, the nearby Lower Zambezi National Park.
Lower Zambezi National Park
Lower Zambezi is the closest National Park to Lusaka – just an hour's drive away from the city centre. Although the park covers 4092 square kilometres, most of the safari tours operate in the valley area which is home to the largest concentration of wildlife. Herds of elephants are frequently spotted by the river banks, hence why many sightseeing expeditions use canoes as their preferred mode of transport – allowing you to get up close to some of Africa's most fascinating animals.
Those staying at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Lusaka can enjoy easy access to the park, with an average car journey time of just over one hour. Most people visit the park on an organised tour and Bundu Adventures offer a range of services across the park, including river safaris, camping, canoeing and white water rafting.
Alternatively, you can hop aboard Sunway Safaris' tour truck and see everything from the road. Each tour consists of no more than 12 people, giving you the chance to pick the brains of your tour guide and learn all the fascinating details about the animals you come across.
Most of the operators run tours from April to November, although June to September remains the most popular period for visitors.
Zambezi's flood plains are home to elephants, zebras, buffalos, leopards, lions and cheetahs to name but a few. Hippos and crocodiles frequent the rivers, whilst hundreds of bird species populate the trees and skies above.
Elephants and lions are perhaps the most iconic animals to be found in the valley, with the former often travelling in herds of up to 100. Keep an eye out for any knocked over trees as they can be a strong indicator of elephant activity; they have been known to push them over in order to feed on leaves. And if you you're looking to impress your fellow tour passengers, here's an easy way to identify the sex of the elephant: It's all about focusing on the head as male heads are round in shape, whilst females take a more square-like shape.
Lions also travel in numbers, with each group spearheaded by up to three males. Although they tend to prefer the more remote areas of the park, the area's guides know the best spots in which to locate them.
If you're planning a jaunt down the river then you will likely encounter the odd hippo and crocodile, as well as waterbuck and baboons on the riverbanks.
Staying safe
If you opt for a guided tour aboard a safari truck, then you generally have little to worry about in terms of safety. You may occasionally disembark the vehicle, but if you do step down following instructions from your guides is crucial. Many of the animals are accustomed to nosy humans coming in for a peek, but remember that the park is very much their territory.
This is particularly important to bear in mind for those planning overnight tours or embarking on sightseeing excursions on the river. Heeding to the advice and instructions issued by your guide is essential and will help ensure your safety. The guides are fully trained and are experts at understanding animal behaviour, and for additional safety they do carry firearms.
If you intend on driving through the park on your own then it is vital that you stay inside your vehicle at all times. Although certain areas may look deserted, animals are often impossible to spot due to camouflage. So you may want to avoid stopping for any road side toilet breaks..
As a general rule you should also avoid any sudden movements whilst observing animals and keep a close eye on their behaviour – if they appear agitated or begin to charge at your vehicle then slowly drive away.
Guided safaris are by far the safest option, however, and the specialised knowledge of your operators can also help make it a far more informative experience.
Kalimba Reptile Park
The African plains are also home to a wide range of reptiles, although their size means they certainly fall into the lesser spotted category. Thankfully, however, Kalimba Reptile Park has gathered some of the most fascinating species under one roof, enabling visitors to get up close to creepy crawlies.
And if you've built up an appetite during your tour of the park then head to the farm shop and tuck into a delicious crocodile burger – yes, it really does consist of 100 per cent authentic crocodile meat (apparently the taste resembles that of chicken). Ketchup is optional…
Kalimba is just a 30 min drive from central Lusaka and its surrounding lakes are open to the public for fishing. Equipment including rods, lines and bait can be hired on site.

Hi! If you're having about 50 guests, I would highly suggest working with a TA!! They really help to keep everyone organized and you don't have to do any of the arranging for your guests (which I predict being a nightmare).
The rate we got from our TA was about the same... For example, our rate through TA for the GBP Akumal is $1758 (incl taxes) for 1 week in Jan '14. Expedia does not sell Akumal, but Tulum rates for the same week right now are $1781. So really there is not much price difference, and we get a free trip for every 16th person from Air Transat!! Other carriers offer the same sort of incentive deals when you do group bookings. But honestly, just to relieve the headache of trying to organize 50 people alone, I would recommend a TA.
Hope this helps!

The majority of our group lives in Regina, but our TA has also made arrangements for those flying out from Winnipeg and Calgary too. Also, some are doing 1 wk air & land, where others (including us) are doing 2 wks air & 1 wk land, and yet others are doing just 5 days land. So I think they can pretty much do whatever combo your guests want.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) today announced the successful completion of the Facilities and Infrastructure Recapitalization Program (FIRP). FIRP was created to reduce a substantial accumulation of backlogged facility maintenance, repair and demolition projects across NNSA's eight sites. NNSA has enhanced mission reliability, improved safety and working conditions and reduced operating costs across the national nuclear security enterprise.
"One of the primary goals of FIRP was to demonstrate NNSA's commitment to being an effective steward of the taxpayers' money while we move beyond the Cold War," said NNSA Associate Principal Deputy Administrator Michael Lempke. "The program was created to make our sites leaner, more energy efficient and to ensure the vitality and readiness of NNSA's nuclear security enterprise. NNSA is proud of the professional staff dedicated to this major achievement. NNSA will continue to maintain the emphasis on core infrastructure that sustains all NNSA programs."
The Department of Energy and the NNSA established FIRP with support of the Department of Defense, outside stakeholders and congressional subcommittees. The challenge was to reduce a two-billion dollar backlog of maintenance and repairs and to restore facility conditions to an acceptable level through recapitalization, restoration and modernization. The FIRP team achieved its goals of maintenance backlog and excess footprint reduction consistent with budgetary constraints.
Among its achievements, FIRP:
FIRP's success was also recognized at the national level. In 2008, the FIRP's Roof Asset Management Program (RAMP), a first time enterprise-wide roof program, received the General Service Administration (GSA) 2008 Award for Real Property Innovation. At the urging of DOE, the National Academy of Sciences evaluated FIRP for method, action and effect. The Academy concluded that "NNSA's execution of Real Property Management is the most advanced in DOE. In the simplest terms: NNSA gets it." The FIRP's facility disposition program met 116 percent of its goal one year ahead of schedule, eliminating more than three million square feet of non-contaminated excess real property in seven years.
NNSA's efforts to improve its infrastructure are not ending. NNSA will continue to address old deferred maintenance needs where appropriate and establish new, modern capabilities needed to support the advances in stockpile stewardship and other program drivers that will replace outdated and obsolete capabilities.
Follow NNSA News on our Blog and on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr.
Established by Congress in 2000, NNSA is a semi-autonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy responsible for enhancing national security through the military application of nuclear science. NNSA maintains and enhances the safety, security, reliability and performance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without nuclear testing; works to reduce global danger from weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy with safe and effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the U.S. and abroad.

2016 List of Top 50 Most Influential Sports Brands in China released
21 Dec 2016 15:49
China is on the cusp of a hockey boom.
Already, there are plans to build over 400 more full-sized rinks in China by 2020. Some of these playing surfaces will accommodate the 1,700 children who currently participate in minor hockey in Beijing; five years ago, only 100 kids were involved.
State channel CCTV, which has broadcast live NHL games since 2013, doubled its ratings from 2013-14 to 2014-15. And while 400K viewers to 800K—in a land of 1.3 billion—isn't terribly impressive, that's still an intriguing number of fanatics and potential supporters tuning in at 7 AM or so. In comparison, about 30K catch the Los Angeles Kings locallyon any given night, while a national audience of 750K enjoyed the LA/San Jose Stadium Series tilt.
Li Longmou, CCTV's director of hockey programming, attributes the spike in CCTV's ratings to a single event: "The ratings for North America may not be going up. But in Asia, they're going up very quickly for the NHL. Even in China...after 2014's Winter Olympics, our ratings were way better than before." Reportedly, 120 million Chinese watched Canada-Sweden (as opposed to 15 million Canadians).
There will be even more eyes trained on the ice as Beijing has already successfully pocketed the rights to host the 2022 Winter Games. Most significantly, the Chinese government will be watching, and they possess both the capital and political will to stimulate interest and development in any sport.
A few NHL franchises have already staked their claim in the coming gold rush. The New York Islanders opened an office in Harbin over a decade ago, and they just drafted Andong Song, the first Chinese national to be selected in the NHL Draft. Recently, both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks have run youth hockey camps in Beijing and Shanghai. In addition, Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment has sold advertising on the boards at the Air Canada Centre to Chinese companies to the tune of $2.5 million last year, while "looking at about 10 times that much revenue in 10 years time."
That's just three teams ahead of the NHL, which doesn't appear to have a business plan for China yet.
Li thinks that the Kings can establish a privileged position in this burgeoning market. "Kings games do well in China. Because everybody knows [the city of] Los Angeles. And the Kings win. "I believe in the last two seasons, we played LA games the most."
Beyond grassroots, he suggests that Los Angeles can help shore up Chinese hockey infrastructure in advance of the 2022 Games. "Right now, it's building the system. Bridging the gap for 12-18 year olds. That's what the [Chinese] government wants to do.
"They need management. They need coaches. They need scouts. They need agents. Those coaches and management need to go to universities and schools to help them grow...these are just some of the things the Kings can do."
So whatever LA's prospective target: The 800K already getting up for NHL games? The 120 million who checked in on Canada-Sweden? The 300 million purported to have a "growing appetite" for winter sports? Or the 1.3 billion who make up the most populous country in the world?
Dave Hopkinson, MLSE's chief commercial officer, sums it up: "This is such an untapped market."

Chillingham Wild Cattle Association Ltd Reviews
564 reviews
Yes, they are wild animals Aug 27, 2010
Chillingham is a very small place in Northumberland. If you have never heard of it, don't worry - nor had I until just before I went there. probably some have been only for the 'haunted' castle and the magnificent 15th century tomb in the church. I suppose these are worth seeing but to me the main feature of Chlllingham is the herd of white cattle on the castle estate.
They can only be seen on guided tours led by the warden - just as well because they are not only wild but potentially dangerous. They are the sole survivors of cattle that used to roam all over England. They are now, as you would expect, enclosed but they have 365 acres of great parkland to live in.
They retain habits of the wild. The prime bull gets all the cows but he is challenged for the crown every year and at these times a lot of care is needed if you want to be close. The cattle are never visited by vets.

Net Neutrality: You can find for it or you could lose it. A tutorial on how you can help keep the internet open.
A look at the trends that will change our lives over the next few years.
AOL and Microsoft have announced an end to their feud. It seems to me that there is a lot in there that needs to be dissected and pondered about. It will impact the development of the Internet for years to come. IM : One of the conditions for the AOL/Time Warner merger was that AOL open its instant messaging platform to other parties. By agreeing to interoperability between the AOL IM client and MSN messenger one, AOL will now be able to point to its "openness" while maintaining a relatively tight control over the progress of that tool. I am sure the two companies are interested in working together and somehow doubt that they will be very interested in opening the world to other competitors. At the current time, IM has taken the consumer world by storm and is starting to make headway in the enterprise. Because of its presence concept (you can see whether the people on your buddy list are online right now or not), it will eventually become a critical tool in the enterprise, moving some data traffic from the phone and email to this new platform. Already today, enterprises that have implemented IM solutions are seeing…
A new worm called Hybris has been spreading across computers in Europe, the United States and South America. While it currently carries a non-destructive payload, some Anti Virus developers are worried that its plug-in architecture could turn it into a much more dangerous virus, opening backdoors in computer systems and escalating the war between virus makers and anti-virus developers. First discovered in South America by Kapersky Labs, a Russian anti-virus developer, the worm has spread through email to Europe and the United States at an increasing pace. "Hybris is one of the more common virus we're seeing right now," said Brian Kinj, a member of the technical staff at the CERT coordination center. Because it carries a non-destructive payload, the anti-virus community has been split over the threat level the virus represents. In the United States, the Joint Task Force Computer Network Defense, a division of the US department of defense, has upgraded the virus to a high-risk status. Meanwhile, European virus tracker Peter Kruse, of virus112.com, has announced on Usenet that his company was upgrading the virus threat to a medium risk status, due to the recent spread of the virus in Europe. Companies like Symantec and Sophos, however,…
AOL IM has some security issues.

When you are at home, do you feel tense and on edge? Are you so busy thinking about the things you need to do that you are unable to relax and enjoy your family? Part of the problem may be your surroundings.
Look around your home. What emotion comes up as you take in your space? Do you feel cozy, welcomed, relaxed?
If not, it is time to make some changes.
I love to come home. Even when my house isn't tidy, it is a cozy home. It feels warm and welcoming. There are beautiful things to look at, comfortable places to sit. Before I even knew the word, I knew it was my goal to have a hygge home.
Hygge (pronounced "HOO-ga") is a Danish word that isn't directly translatable, but generally means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life. It is a philosophy more than a decorating scheme, and it seems to work. Denmark, where the tourism pages talk about what is hyggelig just as much as they talk about what to see and do while visiting, frequently tops the lists of the happiest countries in the world.

The glory and the shame of Mohammad Azharuddin
A cricketing aesthete is born. Mohammad Azharuddin in full flow was a glorious sight, whipping straight balls through midwicket and carting anything overpitched through the off side. Watching Azhar in his prime was a joyous experience: there were the three hundreds in his first three Tests, the 121 that stole the thunder of Gooch's 333 at Lord's in 1990, and of course that glorious stand with Sachin Tendulkar in Cape Town in 1996-97. But as things stand, Azhar will now be remembered for his involvement in match-fixing rather than his brilliance with the willow.
A landmark day for Kapil Dev. At 10.34am, after 64 minutes of the third Test against Sri Lanka in Ahmedabad, he had Hashan Tillakaratne taken at short leg by Sanjay Manjrekar. It was Kapil's 432nd Test wicket, moving him past Richard Hadlee's world record. The feat was saluted with 432 balloons and a minute's standing ovation. It all overshadowed India's ninth home win in a row, in which the spinners Venkatapathy Raju and Rajesh Chauhan shared 17 wickets. Oh, and there was a pair for Marvan Atapattu, making it five ducks and a 1 (that was, apparently, a wrongly overlooked leg-bye) in his first six Test innings.
India's first Test victory, on their 25th attempt, was set up by left-arm spinner Vinoo Mankad, who cut a swathe through England with 8 for 55 in the fifth Test in Madras. There were four stumpings in the innings, and five in the match, for Khokhan Sen - all off Mankad - both records until Kiran More (with more than a little help from Narendra Hirwani) stumped West Indies in 1987-88. Mankad added four more wickets in the second innings, and with Pankaj Roy and Polly Umrigar making hundreds, an under-strength England side were well beaten by an innings, giving India a share of the series.
A monster partnership between Mushtaq Mohammad and Asif Iqbal set Pakistan up for their first Test win in New Zealand, by an innings and 166 runs in Dunedin. The pair slammed 350 for the fourth wicket in only 275 minutes, Pakistan's highest for any wicket at the time. Mushtaq made 201 and then chipped in with seven wickets to put the Kiwis to sleep.
Bangladesh's first wicketkeeper was born today. Khaled Mashud was tidy and un-flashy behind the stumps, batted at No. 7, and in many instances was the saving grace of Bangladesh's innings. He was made captain in late 2001 but was powerless to halt Bangladesh's woeful run, and quit after their humiliations at the 2003 World Cup. He scored one century in 44 Tests - an unbeaten 103 that helped Bangladesh draw the Test in St Lucia in 2004 after they had collapsed to 79 for 6 in the second innings. Mashud was forced to retire after being omitted from the 2007 World Cup squad, replaced behind the stumps by Mushfiqur Rahim.
Sydney's wettest week for 100 years finished the third Test between Australia and Pakistan as a contest. In fact, it was a miracle that there was any play at all, but the assiduous work of the ground staff enabled 149 overs to be bowled. More than enough time for Mark Taylor to make an unbeaten 101, which took his average after 14 Tests to a mighty 69.95.
A giant fast bowler is born. At 6ft 7in, Cameron Cuffy looked a logical successor to the likes of Patrick Patterson when he came onto the scene in the early 1990s. But like most of his contemporaries, he struggled at Test level. He played for Surrey in the 1990s.

AIM: The Integrated Child Development Service (ICDS) in India was initiated in 1975 to improve the health and nutritional status of vulnerable groups through an integrated approach involving nutritional intervention, immunization and education. The impact of ICDS on the anthropometric dimensions (height, weight, mid-arm circumference, chest circumference, head circumference) of preschool children in Karnataka, India was assessed.
Results: All the measurements of ICDS children were higher than those of the control, non-ICDS children, although both groups had low values compared with ICMR standards. In the control group, a higher percentage of males were malnourished than females. In the ICDS group, a higher percentage of females were malnourished than males. When the nutritional status of children was classified according to the Indian Academy of Paediatrics, 8 and 34% of the control and ICDS children were normal, respectively. Although the ICDS had a beneficial effect on children, the quantity of supplements was inadequate to prevent malnutrition.

O'Hara targets four more wins
Jamie O'Hara has challenged Wolves to claim four more wins in order to sidestep relegation from the Premier League this season.
Last Updated: 10/02/12 9:40am
Jamie O'Hara has challenged Wolves to claim four more wins in order to sidestep relegation from the Premier League this season.
Mick McCarthy's men currently sit 17th in the table and just a point clear of the drop zone ahead of Sunday's Black Country derby against West Brom at Molineux.
Wolves have only won five games this term but former Spurs midfielder O'Hara feels four more from their remaining 14 matches could be enough to keep them up for a third successive campaign.
He told the Daily Express: "I feel we need another four wins and hopefully we'll get a couple of draws as well.
"I'm looking to have that same sort of impact again as I did last year and help us stay up."
O'Hara returned to action against QPR last weekend following two months on the sidelines after double hernia surgery but is now a doubt for the Baggies clash due to a groin problem.
The 25-year-old midfielder is desperate to get some regular games under his belt following his time out.
"Being out of the side for a couple of months means I feel fresh and hungry to get back," he added.
"I love scoring goals and if I'm playing in that role off the front man then I need to get on the scoresheet.
"I love the big games and big derbies - I've always relished those sorts of opportunities to play the rivals and the televised games because it's what you dream of as a kid."

One in 10 Alberta children are living in poverty, according to a new study that shows more than half of those kids have at least one working parent.
A report by Public Interest Alberta released Tuesday shows that 84,000 children in the province live in poverty, with 29,800 of those children under the age of six. They say it's costing the province up to $9.5 billion a year.
Many of those kids have at least one parent with a job, says report co-author Bill Moore-Kilgannon.
"Close to 60 per cent of those children are actually living in a family where at least one parent worked full time, full year. So what that tells us is that a job itself is not in and of itself a pathway out of poverty," he said.
"There has to be much more that's done to support families that are working incredibly hard, but just aren't making ends meet."
Anti-poverty groups are calling on the provincial government to take some dramatic steps, including raising the minimum wage and bringing in a progressive tax structure. They also want the province to follow Ontario's lead and offer a $1,200 a year child benefit.
In a Calgary kitchen, volunteers prepare lunches for kids who would otherwise go hungry.
"It's a harsh reality," said Tanya Koshowski, who runs Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids.
"I received an email on Thursday from a school in the northeast and she said that the dad is not sending four of his kids to school because they're embarrassed because they have no food."
The report measured poverty by using Statistics Canada's Low Income Measure After-Tax. It places the cut off for a family of four at $40,000.

Even if you're hella legit about sourcing your email list, sometimes addresses expire, people close accounts, or some other tragedy befalls otherwise healthy emails.
To make sure that you reputation doesn't suffer you can use these simple tips and tricks!
Add an after_action to
ActionMailer::Base that will not perform deliveries to emails that are undeliverable.
class ApplicationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
after_action :check_email
def check_email
recipient = mail.to[0]
mail.perform_deliveries = !Email.where(undeliverable: true).find_by_email(recipient)
In this example we have an
undeliverable columns. We simply check that the recipient is deliverable after we've populated the mail object's data, but before we actually send the email. We can manually update this table as we get information about undeliverable addresses and bounces from Mailgun.
A great place to get your list of bounced addresses is straight from the Mailgun API
curl -s --user 'api:key-yourapikey' -G https://api.mailgun.net/v3/your.domain/bounces?limit=10000 > bounces.json
Be sure to put in your actual api key and domain. I've set the limit here to 10k which is the maximum. If you have more than that you'll need to page through.
Once you have this list you can update your
emails table with the info.
Updating your table with any bounced addresses in bulk is a great way to prune out bad addresses and keep your reputation intact. Even better is update the table as they occur. Thankfully Mailgun provides a webhook to track bounces.
We can create a controller to receive the event, being sure to check that the signature matches.
class MailgunController < ApplicationController
skip_before_action :verify_authenticity_token
before_action :verify_mailgun_signature
def bounced
def verify_mailgun_signature
api_key = ENV["MAILGUN_API_KEY"]
token = params[:token]
timestamp = params[:timestamp]
signature = params[:signature]
digest = OpenSSL::Digest::SHA256.new
data = [timestamp, token].join
valid_signature = signature == OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest(digest, api_key, data)
unless valid_signature
render nothing: true, status: :unauthorized
When we receive the webhook we verify the signature, return 406 unuathorized if it doesn't match. If it does match then we can be sure that the request came from Mailgun so we can mark the address as undeliverable.
Hopefully this saves you some time when keeping your mailing list clean, peace!

Oz the Great and Powerful | Movie review
Classification: P13 (no idea why)
Genre: Adventure, fantasy
Running Time: 130 minutes
Director: Sam Raimi
Cast: James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams
Synopsis: "Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs, a smalltime circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking-that is until he meets three witches, Theodora, Evanora and Glinda, who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late" (GSC).
Verdict: Oz the Great and Powerful is definitely one of the most predictable, cliched, lazily-written and visually-dependent films I have ever seen. It's probably also the most expensive children movie ever produced. The biggest problem with the plot is that it focuses too much on the Wizard of Oz while simply neglecting the development of the popular Wicked Witch of the West (named Theodora here). The useless performance by James Franco, and the lack of likable characters frustrated me even more. Viewers who have utmost respect for the original classic would be left dumbfounded with their palm on their faces, thinking, "What... have they done?" But fret not fellow fans of true masterpiece, this 200-million-dollar utter nuisance will likely be certified as garbage on Rotten Tomatoes and all other movie review aggregator websites, soon.
Second opinion: "Quite boring but the CG's pretty good at the beginning" (Iris Loong).
Plot holes and flaws: Even if I had my phone with me while watching the film (mobile devices were not allowed into the cinema hall, and I was invited as a blogger, ha!), I wouldn't be bothered to note down every single problem that it has 'cause before even reaching the mid point of movie, I would've already realised that there'd be just too many to list out later.
What have I learnt from the film? [SPOILER] That you should place your trust and the lives of others in the hands of a fuckin' conman. [SPOILER ENDS]
To watch in 3D? Yes, otherwise there's nothing much to fool you into thinking that this movie ain't that bad.
Rating: 1 / 5
Special thanks to Nuffnang for the invitations to its premiere.

Skip to comments.President Obama has set in motion forces that he can't handle.
Posted on 02/17/2013 4:48:25 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Barack Obama is a terrible president. That's obvious to everyone who isn't chronically ignorant or incurably liberal. By "liberal" I don't mean the classic definition of the word which has to do with being open-minded and objective. I mean the modern version of liberal: self-centered, emotional, illogical, and void of reason. Unfortunately, in 2012 ignoramuses and liberals represented the majority of those who voted. I'm not worried about offending them with my harsh words. My very existence offends them, and so does yours if you don't buy into their worldview.
From economic policy to energy policy to environmental policy to foreign affairs to national security to border security to you name it, the president failed the test, but we re-elected him anyway. Obama's misadventures in the Oval Office are becoming the stuff of legend. Benghazi and Fast and Furious are two of his more high profile blunders, but they aren't the only ones. If George W. Bush had committed just one of those offenses, the mainstream media would have demanded his head on a platter, but they gave Obama a free pass. The nation as a whole became complicit in the president's shenanigans because we didn't demand that he be held accountable.
President Obama has done one thing superbly well: he has demonstrated skill par excellence on a national scale as a community organizer. He is second to none when it comes to inciting, agitating, race baiting, stoking fears, and motivating the masses. If you discount voter fraud, more than anything else, those skills got him re-elected. But like a snowball gathering momentum as it rolls down a hill, the forces that he has unleashed will be impossible to stop without pain and suffering.
For example, Occupy Wall Street's demands for social justice...
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
bump to that...
I hope the coming inferno consumes the President and the Democratic Party and all the delusional and hate-filled leftists who have enabled this catastrophic Presidency. All I went to see left is a pile of burnt cinders.
I don't care what's left. Like the guy (essentially) said, America is now nothing more than a giant land mass populated by ignorant cretins, ingrates, and parasites who have absolutely no respect for the military and who vote for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors so that it may be redistributed to them in exchange for their votes. It is not an America worth defending anymore. That America no longer exists.
The parasites outnumber the hosts now, and theres no going back. America is dead.
The Democrats have won.
So yeah... a pile of burnt cinders works. (shrug) Who cares?
The flame has been lit and smoke will clear very soon. Those who lit this fire are going to pay dearly for blowing smoke up our asses.
NO! He passed! His aim is to destroy America. This mess is not an accident.
Obama is hoping for a nice replay of the Bolshevik Revolution, but the Second Amendment and a determined middle class are in his way.
BTTT you are absolutely right!
Cloward-Piven strategy in all it's glory-create an ever growing nation of government dependents, crash the existing welfare state with it, use them as soldiers to hold political power, and then create a socialist economy in the fallout.
I get really ticked at articles like this. They claim he's clueless then go on to list all the damage that he has purposely created and the tactics he's used. So just who is it that's truly clueless? The author!
I disagree. This guy is living in the past. Today's Americans are complacent and afraid to do anything that might upsxet the apple cart.
Conservatives believe that they will right the ship of state in the next election. Or the one after that. They fail to see that zero has perfected the art of stealing elections and, with a complicit media, complicit Congress, weak and misdirected RNC, and complicit SCOTUS in his corner, we don't grasp the fact that, in the next election, we will only lose more ground.
We have become the America that Ayn Rand described at the end of Atlas Shrugged. And, yet, we fail to see that as well.
America is being murdered before our eyes and all we are willing to do is say "maybe things will be better tomorrow."
You got it right.
His goal is to make his muslim daddy proud. Even though his muslim daddy is dead. And he wants to make Islam happy.....for his daddy. The man is one screwed up dude. Of course, I'd probably be screwed up, too, if my momma couldn't stay out of the sack with black muslims.
" Bottom Up, Top Down, Inside Out"....
I wish that I wasn't. Maybe they're afraid to tell the truth..........
After over a year, a new tagline.
Coming home...to roost...

Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne Re-Team For 'Real Love'
in New Music by musicdirector October 6, 2014 0 comments
Clean Bandit conquered the globe earlier this year with "Rather Be," a tune with instantly recognizable strings that featured vocals from Jess Glynne.
The two acts have joined forces once again for "Real Love." Containing piano keys and a little bit of that 2-step kick, "Real Love" packs more punch than "Rather Be." That could also be thanks to the pulsating house thump that fleshes out the track and the accents of 8-bit video game acoustics that pepper the chorus.
And Glynne's vocals are in step with the melody, hitting her trademark highs as she keeps pace with the pop radio-ready track. But will "Real Love" top the success of "Rather Be"? Let us know your thoughts.
