Well I've been on for about 7 months, no cruising or pct, my natty test was all but non existent prior to hopping on so I'm not intending on recovering it. Bloods look great. Bp is normal, no sides so I'm just staying on moderate doses year around unless something changes.
What's the best way to maximize the potential of this? Stay on high test, rotate out different anabolics with 250-500mg test?
Any suggestions?

Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
He wasn't without blame with regards to the goal going in, he could have handled it a lot better for sure. However, he was definately fouled, as you can see in the image, and if you happen to see a replay of it, he was obviously obstructed by someone who was nowhere near the ball. Keeper fouled in an obvious manner = no goal, whether the keeper made an error or not.Originally Posted by marc71178

The picture makes it look a lot clearer than it looked at normal pace. It was a marginal call, I'd have been annoyed if the goal had stood if I'd been supporting Oz, but equally I'd have been irritated if it'd been ruled out were I supporting the oppo.
Foul for mine, but can understand why it wasn't given. There's an awful lot of mileage I could get out of "keepers being given too much protection in the modern game", but that's another thread altogether.

I didn't think it was a foul.
Saying that, though, most referees would have given Australia the free-kick because goalies nowadays are protected better than Siberian tigers.
Like BB says, you win some, you lose some. Japan should have had a penalty though - what's your take on that one?

The goal shouldn't have stood for mine. Schwarzer got himself into an awful position, yes, but he still would have made at least some contact with the ball if he hadn't been blocked.
As for the penalty call at the end of the game - you could argue that the Japanese player had lost the ball already but as far as I know that has no impact on whether its a foul or not so it probably should ahve been a penalty.

Neal Holste did not have to wait long to have the "acting" removed from the front of his police chief title.
Holste was promoted to full chief by Hood River City Manager Bob Francis Monday, a move which was confirmed by the Hood River City Council during its meeting later that night.
Holste was named acting chief after the city placed on administrative leave, and then fired, Bruce Ludwig in May.
"I think he will do well for the department and for the citizens of Hood River," Francis said. "He cares about everyone he deals with."
Present for Holste's swearing in were his family and a large delegation from the Hood River Police Department.
"They wanted to stand together and are wanting to move ahead," Holste said. "That wasn't just voiced by me; it was voiced from the department."
His wife, Amanda, pinned the chief's badge onto his uniform following the swearing-in by Mayor Arthur Babitz.
Francis first raised the possibility of promoting Holste to permanent chief during the last city council meeting, but the council asked to be able to interview Holste separately before a final decision was made.
"It was intense but good," Holste said of the process.
Babitz said the council came away from the interviews uniformly satisfied that Holste was the right man for the job.
"I was impressed with his qualifications and his experience ... I'm satisfied he knows how to keep the department together and to keep morale up," Babitz said.
Holste joined the Hood River Police Department in 1996 after two years with the Hood River County Sheriff's department.
Holste enters a department with an uncertain future ahead of it as the city continues discussions with Hood River County about contracting out law enforcement responsibilities with the sheriff's department.
"I've got the support of the department overall and when I took this position they knew I was running for sheriff," he said.
Holste announced a campaign for sheriff earlier this year and Francis said he could still run for sheriff if he so desires.
"If he becomes sheriff we'll cross that bridge when come to it," Francis said. "I think by then we'll have a good idea of where we are with the county."
Holste said he still intends to run for sheriff, and said his experience as police chief would be good no matter what happens with the department in coming years.
"I'm going to run this as a long-term goal, a place I want to retire from," Holste said of the police chief job.
Holste said he wants to make himself available to the department and to the public in his role as chief.
"I'm just excited to get going," he said. "I have an open-door policy for anyone that wants to come in and talk. I want to be available and transparent."
In other news from Monday's council meeting, a long-discussed proposal to re-align Country Club road is set to move forward.
Francis said the city was recently approached by Key Development, which owns developable property in the area which would be accessible with the re-alignment of the road.
ODOT estimated that project would take around $6 million to complete, whereas only $3.5 million ($3 million in ODOT funds transferred from the Button Intersection project and $500,000 from the city) had been allocated for the project.
Key offered to do the project at $3.5 million.
The council voted to move forward on Key's offer and a public hearing on the proposal will be held July 25.
Hood River Fire Chief Devon Wells gave a presentation in response to the Oregon Department of Forestry Forestland reclassification hearing last month.
At the meeting the ODF stated that it would not classify lands within Hood River city limits as forestland.
However, Wells said he found several large swaths of land, primarily owned by the city and public utilities, that he felt should be classified as forestland. The council authorized him to make a statement at the ODF public hearing in Pine Grove July 12 to that effect.

text: Hey, I have a 3.73 GPA as a Management Major in the School of Business at WNEC. I have a double minor in Economics and Entrepreneurship, along with an SAP certification. I scored a 142 on my original LSAT exam, but just received a 148 after taking it recently. I was wondering what my chances are now for getting into WNEC both as a full-time or as a part-time student. Was hoping maybe anyone could help or if anyone from WNEC would know or was close to these scores. I am also looking at applying to the new UMASS Dartmouth Law School as I heard they are applying for AB A accredidation and will more liekly than not get it within the next 4 years (time I would graduate). Any information on UMASS and my chances there as well? My other schools of interest in order based on location and preferring to go to school in Mass (closer to Western Mass) are: WNEC, UMass, Suffolk, New England Law, UCONN, Quinnipiac, North Eastern, Roger Williams, UNH, Vermont. Any others closer that I may have missed, please feel free to tell me. Thanks very much, I appreciate any help I can get.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say a New Jersey man awoke after a long night's sleep to discover a knife stuck in his back.
Police in Trenton say the 42-year-old man didn't know why his back was hurting when he got up Sunday so he had his brother take a look. The brother saw a knife protruding from the middle of his back.
Police did not identify the man. They say he had gotten into a fistfight on his porch after a night of drinking and apparently didn't realize he had been stabbed.
Police tell The Times of Trenton (http://bit.ly/1dhXNF9 ) the man was uncooperative when detectives tried to talk to him at the hospital. He was expected to be released as early as Monday.

The Art of Living Advanced Program usually offered in residence and provides optimal conditions for going deep within, quieting our mental chatter, and experiencing profound rest and inner silence. This program builds upon the Sudarshan Kriya breathing technique offered in the Art of Living (Part 1) program.
The practice of silence – of consciously withdrawing our energy and attention from outer distractions has been used in different traditions throughout time as a pathway to physical, mental, and spiritual renewal. By participating in various course processes specifically designed to take us beyond our usually active minds, we experience an extraordinary sense of peace and renewed vitality that we carry home with us and into daily lives.
The pre-requisites are
- The Art of Living Happiness Program
- Benefits
- Testimonials
- Technique
"Meditation is the journey from movement to stillness, sound to silence." -- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Founder of the Art of Living Foundation
- Experience deep inner peace, the state of Samadhi
- Increase self-awareness and greater sense of clarity
- Feel more energized
- Increase qualities of creativity
"Every moment doing the advance course was a new experience for me: the meditation and the silence." -- Nita R
" I cannot directly pin point it, but definitely there is a big change from before and after going to the part-2 course. I feel I have become a new person, so I say that the part-2 course has been the starting point of my new self. The new me is very comfortable. I feel blessed and very happy. Actually, I feel very lucky to come across a course like this. Thank you for giving such an opportunity." -- Shoko
The course is typically held as a residential retreat in a place of natural beauty and tranquility. It's no wonder that many course participants refer to it as the ideal vacation for body, mind, and spirit.
- Unique guided meditations designed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

Conrad Wennerberg is Chairman Emeritus of the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and author of the authoritative history of marathon swimming: Wind, Waves, and Sunburn. Originally published in 1974, the book was re-printed in 1999, and is now out of print once again. (Used copies are available through Amazon.)
Conrad (or "Connie," as he's known to friends) is a familiar face at Promontory Point in Chicago, my preferred training location in 2010-11. Now in his 80s, Connie still takes his noontime dip in Lake Michigan, May through October. Connie is also responsible for rescuing a treasured thermos of mine, which his friend Frank the Klepto had stolen during a late-season training swim. True story.
I'm just now getting around to reading Wind, Waves, and Sunburn, and it's delightful. More than anything else I've read, it captures the spirit of marathon swimming - and this power is undimmed by the passing of 37 years. For some perspective: in 1974, the records for the fastest crossings of the English and Catalina Channels were both held by Lynne Cox.
In an early chapter, Connie recounts the classic "36 3/4 to 50 mile" Lake Michigan race in 1962. This race was actually two races in one. First, a 36 3/4-mile swim from Chicago to Waukegan, Illinois - an attempt to break Ted Erikson's record of 35 hours for the same distance the previous year (Chicago to Michigan City, Indiana). The first swimmer to reach Waukegan could choose to exit the water and collect $4,000. Or, swimmers could choose to keep going past Waukegan, all the way to Kenosha, Wisconsin - a distance of 50 miles and a new world record for distance. The first swimmer to reach Kenosha would win $10,000.
Of the 20 or so swimmers who dove into Lake Michigan that day, only three would finish: Dennis Matuch. All three would subsequently be enshrined in the marathon swimming hall of fame. In Connie's eyes, the story of their epic race is more than a story: It's an allegory. He describes their respective stroke techniques:
Ted Erikson was "poetry in motion"-the classic stroke with hardly a millimeter variation between either arm as it entered the water. His legs beat in a steady, even throb that impressed the observer. His powerful arms carried him through the water at a speed of close to two miles per hour. Here was the man to watch. His forty-eight strokes per minute would prevent his burning out.
Moving on to Dennis Matuch, a local lifeguard with a decidedly different approach to swimming:
His arms worked in what seemed like frenzied action. Eighty-five strokes per minute…. Extremely short, his high stroke rate prevented any smooth entry of his hands and arms into the water. Consequently there was a splash upon entry into the water and corresponding flurry of water upon recovery. The average spectator would also have been amazed at the total non-use of his legs. They simply dragged along behind him…. Spectators scratched their heads and said, "This man will drown shortly."
And finally, Greta Andersen, the greatest female marathon swimmer of her era:
What one would have observed would have been an extremely uneven stroke. As Greta turned her head to the right to breathe, her left arm reached only a little more than half the distance ahead as the right arm. One would have been tempted to say, "What a cock-eyed stroke." It was very uneven and looked quite uncomfortable to the swimmer.
Based on these observations, Connie concludes:
Ted Erikson would win this race. Greta Andersen, if she were lucky, would go half way. Dennis Matuch would drown in about another ten minutes. Self-satisfied, the general observer would sit back and await the "sure" and inevitable outcome.
So, what actually happened?
- Dennis Matuch swam 36 3/4 miles to Waukegan in 21 hours, earning a new world record and $4,000.
- Greta Andersen, five minutes behind Matuch, continued on to Kenosha, finishing in 31 hours - a new world record for distance, earning the top prize of $10,000.
- Ted Erikson, three hours behind Andersen at Waukegan, also kept going. By the time he reached Kenosha he was five hours behind. In reward for 36 hours of swimming, he received nothing but a metaphorical pat on the back.
The chapter concludes with a statement as true today as it was in 1974:
The moral to be learned from the above is that one should never stress the importance of "evenness" and proportion that characterizes the classic swimming stroke. The individual variations in human anatomy and physiology preclude warping an individual's personal adaptation to the water into the closed channel of "water ballet" perfectionism.
Hear, hear!
And Connie, if you read this, please give my regards to Frank the Klepto.

Documentary evidence that Microsoft considered abandoning Office for Mac in order to cause 'a great deal of harm' to Apple has emerged. An emailed memo from Microsoft-founder Bill Gates to then Mac Business Unit chief Ben Waldman dated June 1997 talks about morale in the Mac Office development camp. At that time Microsoft's senior management were considering dumping Mac support. The email complains at poor sales of Office, which it attributes to a lack of focus on making such sales among reps at that time.

Last time I explained why the designers of C# wanted to have both checked and unchecked arithmetic in C#: unchecked arithmetic is fast and dangerous, checked arithmetic is slightly slower but turns subtle, easy-to-miss mistakes into program-crashing exceptions. It seems clear why there is a "checked" keyword in C#, but since unchecked arithmetic is the default, why is there an "unchecked" keyword?
There are a bunch of reasons; here are the ones that immediately come to mind.
First reason: constant integer arithmetic is always checked by default. This can be irritating. Suppose for example you have some interop code and you wish to create a constant for the
That's an error because that number is
too big
to fit into an
. But you might not want to use a
. You might think well I'll just say
But that is also illegal because constant arithmetic conversions are also always checked by default . So we still have a conversion that is going to fail. What you have to do is turn off checked constant arithmetic:
Second reason: you might have a block of code in which you want all the arithmetic to be checked, but there is one part — say, the inside of a performance-sensitive loop — where you want to get the maximum speed, and are willing to turn off checked arithmetic there and there alone.
Third reason: C# allows you to change the default to checked arithmetic for non-constant integer math via a compiler flag. If you've done so, and you need to turn it back off again on a temporary basis, then you have to use the unchecked keyword.
Fourth reason: the unchecked block can be used as a form of self-documenting code, to say "I am aware that the operation I'm doing here might overflow, and that's fine with me." For example, I'll often write something like:
The "unchecked" emphasizes to the reader that we fully expect that multiplying and adding hash codes could overflow, and that this is OK; we want to be truncating to 32 bits and we expect that the numbers will be large.
There were a bunch of good comments to the previous post; among the questions posed in those comments were:
What do you think of the compiler switch that changes from unchecked to checked arithmetic as the default?
I'm not a big fan of this approach, for several reasons. First, hardly anyone knows about the switch; there's a user education problem here. Second, I like it when the text of the program can be understood correctly by the reader without having to know the details of the compilation process. Third, it adds testing burden; now there are two ways that every program can be compiled, and that means that there are more test cases in the test matrix.
Several recent studies have investigated how engineers spend their time; that is, the work tasks they perform and how their time is distributed among these. Research
free shipping Manchester discount fake MADEMOISELLE R Studded Ballet Pumps best place cheap online cheap sale Inexpensive outlet under l5VYTPpA
suggests that there are several key themes present in engineers' work: (1) technical work (i.e., the application of science to product development); (2) social work (i.e., interactive communication between people); (3) computer-based work; (4) information behaviours. Amongst other more detailed findings, a recent work sampling study [14] found that engineers spend 62.92% of their time engaged in technical work, 40.37% in social work, and 49.66% in computer-based work. Furthermore, there was considerable overlap between these different types of work, with engineers spending 24.96% of their time engaged in technical and social work, 37.97% in technical and non-social, 15.42% in non-technical and social, and 21.66% in non-technical and non-social.
Engineering is also an information-intensive field, with research finding that engineers spend 55.8% of their time engaged in various different information behaviours, including 14.2% actively seeking information from other people (7.8%) and information repositories such as documents and databases (6.4%). [9]
The time engineers spend engaged in such activities is also reflected in the competencies required in engineering roles. In addition to engineers' core technical competence, research has also demonstrated the critical nature of their personal attributes, project management skills, and cognitive abilities to success in the role.

There are many branches of engineering, each of which specializes in specific technologies and products. Typically engineers will have deep knowledge in one area and basic knowledge in related areas. For example, mechanical engineering curricula typically includes introductory courses in electrical engineering, computer science, materials science, metallurgy, mathematics, and software engineering.
When developing a product, engineers typically work in interdisciplinary teams. For example, when building robots an engineering team will typically have at least three types of engineers. A mechanical engineer would design the body and actuators. An electrical engineer would design the power systems, sensors, electronics, embedded software in electronics, and control circuitry. Finally, a software engineer would develop the software that makes the robot behave properly. Engineers that aspire to management engage in further study in business administration, project management and organizational or business psychology. Often engineers move up the management hierarchy from managing projects, functional departments, divisions and eventually CEO's of a multi-national corporation.Tooling/Build Issue
Incorporating React Native required updates to our build processes for each app. We use CircleCI to build our projects which needed to be reconfigured to support the additional React Native build steps.
As previously shared, on the Android side this was not as straightforward as we would have hoped.
Once our build was updated to include the required React Native tasks, it increased the duration of our release build on CircleCI by ~20%.
After removal of the final React Native feature from our codebase we saw the following improvements:
The Android team also experienced issues at times with Android/Gradle build tooling being in conflict with React Native. Most recently we had been working around
discount 100% original cheap price outlet sale LAutre Chose DOrsay court shoe clearance online official site lowest price sale online free shipping for sale CqA49
The iOS team had its fair share of challenges as well.
Configuring the build was painful because we had a non-standard file structure for React Native. Because of our separate project repos, we pulled in the React Native repo under srcroot/ReactNative and a lot of the existing build tools assumed the default app structure which is /ReactNative/ios/…ios.
Additionally, we used cocoapods for dependency management which was originally the suggested way to include React Native, but was deprecated along the way. This was further exacerbated by our non-standard file structure and we had to include some annoying hacks in our Podfile to get it to read from the correct place.
Since cocoapods was no longer the canonical way to include React Native, Podfile updates were dependent on the community to update which weren't always in sync. There were several versions where the css/Yoga dependency was updated but the Podfile was referencing an incorrect version.. Up until the end, we had some nasty post-install hacks to essentially sed/regex some of the include calls.
Lastly, CI for the iOS project was a pain point as well. We now had to add an npm dependency layer and make sure those were being updated properly before continuing the install. This added nontrivial amounts of time to our build step.
There was also an issue that caused a crash because one version of npm had a `package.lock` and the other didn't which caused us to install incorrect versions of a dependency across a React Native upgrade.
React Native as a whole has been moving very fast, and we found documentation was lacking at times. Particularly as we were first adopting, we found that documentation/answers for a particular version may, or may not, still be relevant.
Documentation for integrating React Native with an existing project seemed sparse at the time. This was a contributing factor to the challenges we had updating our CI builds.
As React Native has continued to evolve, the documentation and supporting community contributions have improved. It's likely that if we were starting today, we would have been able find answers to some of our questions more easily.
We initially started with NavigationExperimental, which wasn't the easiest navigation library to work with. When React Navigation came out, it quickly became the community accepted navigation and NavigationExperimental was deprecated before ReactNavigation was truly fully baked.
Despite this; there were things that we couldn't do in ReactNavigation without kludging things together (example: Push flows inside a presented modal flow)
As mentioned before, there were certain times where performance issues were noticed.
We were able to build some very nice animations that looked great on well specced iOS Android devices, but did not perform well on under powered Android devices that are more prevalent in international markets.
The load time when entering into the React Native portion of the app was longer than we would have liked. It often did not feel like a seamless transition.
When prototyping the standalone graphing rendering performance was a large enough concern that React Native was scrapped in favor of a native experience.
Because it's not built in conjunction with iOS or Android, React Native lags behind the native platforms at times. It's often largely dependent on the community to support new native features.
One such example was the urgent need for support for the iPhone X. We ultimately opted to leave the feature without SafeArea support for a short period of time as it was going to be introduced shortly. Utilizing is one example of a platform specific feature that cross-platform developers would need to be aware of to develop compliant apps.
At other times, React Native lags behind in the adoption of new platform requirements such as Android apps
being required to target api 26
by August 2018. There are several

Hedge funds raised bets on higher gold prices for a second week as comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke damped expectations for an imminent tapering of stimulus. Futures rose the most since 2011.
Speculators increased their net-long position by 4.1% to 35,691 futures and options, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data for July 9 show. Net holdings expanded even as speculators increased short bets to a record. Net- bullish wagers across 18 U.S.-traded commodities retreated 3.4% as investors became the most bearish ever on corn. They were more bullish on silver and palladium.
The U.S. needs "highly accommodative monetary policy for the foreseeable future," Bernanke said July 10. Minutes from the Fed's June policy meeting showed many officials wanted a stronger labor market before tapering bond purchases. Gold more than doubled from 2008 to a record $1,923.70 an ounce in September 2011 as the Fed cut interest rates to a record low and bought debt. Prices plunged into a bear market in April as some investors lost faith in the metal as a store of value.
"Bernanke's comments put some positive feeling back into gold and into all commodities," said Dan Denbow, a fund manager at the $1 billion USAA Precious Metals & Minerals Fund in San Antonio. "The Fed has been working hard to show that taking back a little bit of bond buying isn't removing accommodation, and Bernanke was very firm on that. There was a bit of a sentiment shift."
Gold Bulls
Gold futures gained 5.4% to $1,277.60 on the Comex in New York last week, the most since October 2011. Traders are the most bullish in five weeks, with 19 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expecting prices to rise this week. Nine were bearish and three neutral. Bullion for delivery in August rose 0.5% to settle at $1,283.50 today in New York.
The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 commodities% added 1.7% last week, reaching a three-month high on July 11. The MSCI All-Country World index of equities gained 3.4%. The Bloomberg Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against 10 major trading partners, fell 1.6%, the most in a month. A Bank of America Corp. Index shows Treasuries returned 0.6%.
Last week's rally means gold has now reversed most of the losses made after Bernanke said June 19 that the central bank may start paring the pace of bond buying this year and end the purchases around the middle of next year if the economy improves. The metal is still down 23% for the year.

Snowstorm wallops Southern Ontario
Major snowfall in Ontario caused school closures, flight cancellations and treacherous road conditions in much of the province.
The Greater Toronto Area was expected to get as much as 30 cm of snow by Friday afternoon, Environment Canada said, the region's biggest dump of snow in more than four years. The city hasn't seen more than 15 cm since Dec. 19, 2008.
Ontario Provincial Police reported more than 600 fender benders on southern Ontario roadways since the storm began Thursday, prompting a warning for motorists to stay off the roads.
"Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't drive," Sgt. Kristine Rae said.
Poor road conditions are believed to be a factor in a three-vehicle crash in Pickering on Friday that killed a 49-year-old man, as well as a crash in Whitby that killed an 18-year-old man Thursday night, Durham Regional Police said.
In Barrie, a three-car crash sent two people to hospital Thursday night. The two victims had to be extricated from their vehicles and one was transported to a Toronto trauma centre.
"The weather was pretty brutal. It's pretty wide open there, so whatever was coming across the highway, it was a whiteout," Sgt. Peter Leon said.
And on Highway 401 near Prescott, in eastern Ontario, a 57-year-old Ottawa man was killed Friday morning when his car went off the road.
School buses in Toronto, Ottawa and Lambton County were cancelled. However, most schools remained open.
Many post-secondary schools shuttered for the day, including the University of Toronto's Scarborough and Mississauga campuses, Ryerson University, York, Waterloo and McMaster.
A Lady Gaga concert, however, was slated to go on as planned. Fans braved the storm to camp outside Air Canada Centre in downtown Toronto.
Airports in Toronto and Ottawa reported hundreds of flight delays and cancellations.
If you're flying, you can check your flight status here.
Environment Canada said the heavy snowfall was expected to taper off into Friday night as the storm heads to the East Coast.
Atlantic Canada is bracing for a powerful nor'easter, with some places expected to get 90 km/h winds over the weekend.
"The worst of the weather will be throughout the day Saturday for the Maritimes and Sunday for Newfoundland and Labrador," said Gina Ressler, a meteorologist at The Weather Network.
The northeastern U.S. was walloped with a massive blizzard Friday, with Boston bearing the brunt of it. The city shut down schools and all non-essential services, and officials delayed an NHL game.
Governors in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut declared states of emergency and issued driving bans Friday afternoon.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky man has been arrested and charged with threatening to kill the state's governor, first lady and their family in a series of Facebook posting, federal authorities said Friday.
Federal agents said they also believe 22-year-old William Collin Bordt had posted online threats against the former director of the South Carolina Republican Party, Todd Kincannon, and another person who chairs an election commission in Simpsonville, S.C.
A criminal complaint filed in federal court in Lexington states that Kentucky State Police and federal agents arrested Bordt on Wednesday and charged the Lexington man with using interstate communications to make threats. A federal magistrate judge ordered Bordt released from custody on Friday, but restricted his travel to the eastern half of Kentucky and barred him from going to the state capitol, Frankfort.
Bordt's attorney, Patrick Nash of Lexington, was out of the office and did not immediately return a call seeking comment Friday.
A review of Bordt's Facebook profile listed in the complaint showed several posts, but no threats against any public officials. An email sent to the address listed in a criminal complaint was not immediately returned.
A spokeswoman for Beshear, a Democrat in his second term as Kentucky governor, declined immediate comment Friday.
Department of Homeland Security Special Agent Michael Romagnoli wrote in an affidavit that Bordt posted a series of messages on the governor's Facebook page. Romagnoli cited five comments attributed to Bordt on March 4 and quoted them as follows:
__ "Your both dead if he doesn't step down"
__ "Your husband will see me before he is sent to hell ..."
__ "AND YOUR DAUGHTERS ... I will have my way with them."
The Beshears have two sons and two daughters-in-law, but no daughters.
Romagnolia said in the affidavit that security officials reviewed the message on March 4 and sent an emergency disclosure request to Facebook at its California offices. Facebook identified Bordt as the account holder and gave investigators his email address.
Investigators later linked an IP address used to post the threats to Bordt's home address in Lexington, Romagnoli wrote. Romagnoli did not give a motive for the posts.
State troopers visited Bordt's home Wednesday to execute a search warrant. Romagnoli said Bordt spoke with the officers and acknowledged sending messages to Kincannon in February and posting the messages on Beshear's Facebook page. He said Bordt also acknowledged sending threatening messages online to a former boss in November.
Kincannon is a South Carolina attorney and political operative noted for inflammatory Twitter messages. Attempts to reach Kincannon were not immediately successful Friday. Bordt has not been charged with threatening Kincannon or his former employer.
"Bordt admitted to smoking marijuana but stated he was not 'high'," Romagnoli said. "Bordt stated he remembered that he threatened to harm and kill the Governor and his family. Bordt said he did not mean the message literally."

"Mozambique Aims To Halve Malnutrition By 2020"
Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world, ranked 172nd out of 182 countries on the 2008/2009 UN Human Development Index. The country is prone to a wide range of natural hazards, which regularly cause major damage and disrupt economic growth.
The devastating floods of 2000, 2001, 2007 and 2008 and recurrent droughts in 2002/2003, 2004/2005, 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 are recent examples of this trend. Mozambique is regarded as one of the countries most at risk from climate change, which could increase both the frequency and severity of natural disasters.
The national adult HIV/AIDS prevalence rate is over 15 percent, with four provinces having rates above 20 percent – Gaza in the south has the highest prevalence at 27 percent. Mozambique has a population of 21.7 million people, including 1.6 million orphans. Due to the scale and severity of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the number of orphans is increasing.
Mozambique remains rooted in deep, rural poverty despite almost seven percent economic growth rate over the past four years and improvements in education, health and nutrition indicators since the end of the civil war in 1992.
According to the Government of Mozambique, 54 percent of the population lives below the national poverty line; 63 percent of rural children live in absolute poverty; and 34 percent of households are food insecure and face perpetual hunger.
Population density is 20 people per square kilometre, with 66 percent of the population residing in rural areas and subsisting predominantly on agriculture. Mozambique 's urban population is growing and is expected to exceed 50 percent by 2025. School enrolment rates are as high as 95 percent for the first level of primary education, but they drop drastically to 13 percent for primary grades 6-7. Equally telling are primary school completion rates: 76 percent for grades 1-5 and only 35 percent for grades 6-7.
The vast majority of rural and peri-urban families find it difficult to lose their children's contribution to the family labor pool by sending them to school, so many children enroll at the beginning of the year, but are forced to drop out and miss classes in order to help with family chores.
The annual vulnerability assessment conducted by the Vulnerability Analysis Group (GAV) from the Technical Secretariat for Food Security and Nutrition (SETSAN) in August 2009 indicated that the majority of households throughout the country will have food security guaranteed for the next six months with favourable food availability and access, following a good 2009 harvest. The Ministry of Agriculture estimated cereal production at around 2.6 million tons - 14 percent more than the previous year and 26 percent higher than the 5-year average. The production of pulses was also substantially higher than the average.
Nonetheless, it is estimated that around 281,000 people will be food insecure until the main harvest in April 2010 with most of them concentrated in the provinces of Tete, Inhambane, Sofala and Gaza. GAV and partners recommended humanitarian assistance for this entire caseload either through food assistance or cash transfers in Nampula and Zambezia provinces where food is widely available in the markets.

The overall objective of WFP in Mozambique is to e nable people to improve their livelihoods and resist future shocks. Emphasis is placed on the crucial role of partnerships and increased government-led co-ordination and ownership. WFP supports the Government of Mozambique by providing food assistance to around 698,000 people through a range of activities:

Keen to control the flow of information, the Bush political machine has labored day and night to obstruct public oversight of US foreign policy. But the basic reality cannot be hidden. A tiny group of individuals, with eccentric ideas and reflexes, has recklessly compounded the country's security nightmare, launching a costly and destabilizing military adventure on publicly unexamined assumptions. To pierce their veil of secrecy, James Mann has adopted a simple methodology in his new book, Rise of the Vulcans. He has pored over the past words and deeds of Bush's foreign policy team. By interrogating the public record for clues about Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell and Richard Armitage, he has cast fresh light on the origins of the debacle unfolding before our eyes.
We knew it already, of course, but it is nevertheless unnerving to read that fateful decisions, perhaps affecting the course of world history, are profoundly influenced by palace intrigue and deadline-driven haste in selecting party loyalists to occupy public offices. If conservative Congressmen had not blocked Tom Ridge's nomination as Defense Secretary, for the ludicrously immaterial reason that he was wobbly on abortion, then the Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz-Feith team would have been in no position to hijack the country's reaction to 9/11. By sheer chance, Rice and Powell, while no doubt orderly managers, have pedestrian minds and perhaps deferential personalities. Neither provides a gripping and persuasive vision of the US role in the world that might have counteracted the megalomania of the neoconservatives. And neither is capable of outfoxing the hard-liners in an interagency power struggle. By sheer luck of the draw, therefore, and also because Rumsfeld's former assistant, Cheney, sits in the White House and commands his own foreign policy staff, civilian leaders at the Pentagon have managed to amass unprecedented influence over foreign policy, unbalanced by those in the State Department and elsewhere in the federal government who still believe that diplomacy is indispensable, even for a military superpower.
It is only a slight exaggeration to say that the fate of the country and the world depends on the eccentricities of a few political operatives who, by shrewd maneuvering, have prevailed in a bureaucratic power grab. These excessively self-assured individuals sat out the Clinton years, often affiliated with dogmatically partisan think tanks where researchers are paid to assemble evidence and arguments for preconceived policies. "Data mining" is not the Vice President's personal idiosyncrasy, in other words, but business as usual for the American Enterprise Institute and the other simplification factories from which Bush recruited many high-level appointees. This is where Administration officials acquired their habit of politicizing intelligence, that is, trawling for evidence that substantiates what they want to believe. After 9/11, their bunker mentality–their doctrinaire exclusion of dissonant viewpoints and unwelcome information–became so extreme that well-connected moderate Republicans such as Brent Scowcroft and James Baker were reduced to communicating with the White House through op-eds.

ASPEN, Colo.—Rescue crews have recovered the body of a man who fell 200 to 300 feet while descending Capitol Peak west of Aspen, Colo.
The Pitkin County sheriff's office says Ryan Joseph Palmer, of Vail, decided to climb down the north face of the peak Friday instead of crossing the exposed "knife edge" route again. The 35-year-old's climbing partners crossed the knife edge and watched him make his way down the face. They called authorities when Palmer did not return to camp.
The sheriff's office says search and rescue crews found Palmer's body at the base of the north face just after 2 p.m. Saturday. The body was recovered Sunday.
Capitol Peak rises to an elevation of 14,130 feet.

The right way to end the work week..a party!
Friday morning started off badly with a F2F meeting with the "good" folks from the Agency. It was the 3 of us facing the five of them but numbers is not an issue as long as you have A at the table..she gave such a performance that I have never seen a more sorry sight..she had the 2 big guns from the Agency bowing their head in shame at her truthful statements. Felt really bad for the Agency but I have to say they deserve it seeing how much angst they have put me through for the past 3 months and oh no, I have another 3 more months to go with them..save me! sob sob sob.

Mention folk music to the average listener and the list of usual suspects come to mind: Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Woody Guthrie, etc. Talk to SOJA lead singer/guitarist Jacob Hemphill, however, and you'll walk away with a different perspective. "To me, Rage Against The Machine, Wu-Tang Clan, Sade, Johnny Cash, Bob Marley - they're all folk artists," he says.
"There's no difference between Raekwon saying, 'I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side, where staying alive was no jive,' to Bob Marley saying, 'Cold ground was my bed last night and rock was my pillow, too,' to Johnny Cash saying, 'I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free, but those people keep on moving (around) and that's what tortures me.' Folk is all about storytelling and passing on a legacy. It's timeless, it's limitless and it crosses all boundaries. That's what this band is striving for. It's a tall order," he laughs, "but we're making our way."
They've raised the bar with Strength to Survive, their fourth full-length album, an intoxicating mix of hot-rod reggae grooves and urgent, zeitgeist-capturing themes. The album, produced by John Alagia (Dave Matthews, John Mayer, O.A.R.), is the band's first for ATO, the label co-founded by Dave Matthews. Hemphill says the album was greatly inspired by Bob Marley's Survival. "That's the greatest reggae album ever made," he says. "It has the best basslines and the best lyrics ever heard on one record. Marley wrote it after he went to Africa. I was 13 or 14 when I listened to it for the first time and it triggered all these long-forgotten memories of when I lived in Africa as a kid. My dad was an IMF res rep in Liberia in the late 80's. I remember when the coup first started-- my family had to hide in these iron bathtubs for 3 days because the military was shooting at everything. I was 7 and that was one of my first memories. We made it out on the
last flight. So Africa was always a big part of our lives-- it defined our family, in a way. Music came right after that, so, for me, music was always tied to Africa and music was always something powerful."
Shortly after returning from Africa, Hemphill met Bobby Lee (bass) in the first grade in
Virginia. The two instantly became best friends, finding common ground through their love of hip hop, rock and reggae which they performed together at their middle school talent shows.
Throughout high school, they met Ryan Berty (drums), Kenneth Brownell (percussion) and Patrick O'Shea (keyboards) and together formed SOJA. The band gigged locally in the DC area while a couple of the guys finished school, all the while making plans to hit the road after graduation. They actually wound up owning the road. Over the course of the past few years, SOJA has sold more than 200,000 albums, headlined large theaters in more than 20 countries around the world, generated over 40 million YouTube views, amassed nearly 2 million Facebook fans, and attracted an almost Grateful Dead-like international fanbase that grows with each tour, with caravans of diehards following them from city to city. Most impressive of all, they've accomplished all this on their own. This 8-piece band has spent the past year and a half grinding it out from venue to venue, playing more than 360 dates, including headlining sold-out tours of North and South America, as well as opening for O.A.R. and sharing stages with everyone from Dave Matthews Band to Matisyahu.
With Strength to Survive, the band makes an impassioned call for unity and change with universally relatable songs about faith, hope and love. "I could go on and on about the horrible damage we've done to the earth or the problems that arise when countries compete for money over an imaginary border, but the album has one central theme," says Hemphill, "and that's our hope for the world to be one family." It's a concept best exemplified in the song "Everything Changes." "People out there with no food at night," sings Hemphill, "And we say we care, but we don't, so we all lie/But what if there's more to this, and one day we become what we do, not what we say/Maybe we need to want to fix it. Maybe stop talking, maybe start listening/ Maybe we need to look at this world
less like a square and more like a circle."
Among the album's many highlights is the ethereal "Let You Go," about the road not taken, "Mentality," the disc's hard-hitting opening track, and the one-two punch of "Be With Me Now" and "When We Were Younger," the latter bringing together the macro and the micro with the simple yet resonant line, "All of my answers, now that I'm older, turn into questions."
Hemphill says the band's simple and honest approach to music is what's enabled them to
break through obstacles of language, distance and culture in amassing an international
following. "What's the alternative - pop music?" he laughs. "Pop music-especially American pop music, is about having money, sleeping with models, living in mansions, spending all of our time in clubs and generally being better than the rest of the world. It's funny, 'cuz everyone here is broke. We sing about different things-things that actually matter. I think our fans appreciate that."
"When I look out in the audience and I see these kids with tears in their eyes, not because I'm singing a love song, but because I'm singing about how the world is dying and we're the only ones who can stop it, that is huge. I live for that. We played a festival in Brazil in front of 80,000 people, and everybody was singing every word-in English. After one of the songs, I told them, 'We're on the road a lot, and people always ask me, "Don't you ever get homesick? Don't you miss your family?" I said, 'It took me awhile to realize this, but this is my home, and you all are my family.' The place just blew up. It was amazing. But it's the truth-those are my people and I always want to do right by them. It's is the only game in town for me."

How Not To Hold Layoffs: Company-Wide Email Promises 'Good' News on Friday, Bloodbath Ensues Monday
New bosses often mean change. We here at Gawker would not know this, because all our managers die in their chairs, but we have heard from industry professionals that when there's a transition of a power at a company, the change often augurs new protocols, shifting job descriptions, the ominous possibility of layoffs, and, say, far worse, the loss of telecommuting. The immediate aftermath can be nerve-wracking—especially when the position at stake is CEO.
But it is not unreasonable to think that after a CEO's departure, when the chairman of your company (who would soon become interim CEO) sends a mass email on Friday promising "good" news on Monday, that maybe, just maybe, you're not all completely fucked.
That would be a very mistaken assumption in the case of the Daily Voice, a Northeastern network of hyperlocal news sites competing (and arguing publicly) with the AOL property Patch.com.
Last Friday afternoon, employees received a warm staff-wide email from CEO Zohar Yardeni announcing his resignation, describing the departure as a "difficult decision," but stating that he'd be staying on as an advisor.
Chairman Carll Tucker followed up an hour later with a reassuring email. "Monday morning we will share with you the news about where we're going and how we're going to get there," Tucker wrote. "The news is good—but you'll need to sit tight while we finalize our plans." He signed off with bro-ful optimism. "I am pumped about the prospect of working with you to build a great company."
What was this "good" news? A renewed sense of vision? A new bonus structure? Nicer chairs? Triple-ply toilet paper?
Come Monday, company employees would find the new perks were even better than that: more free time!
Which came in the form of unemployment.
Without severance packages.
This past Monday, the Daily Voice announced that the company would be shuttering all 11 of its Massachusetts sites. In Connecticut, where the company maintains 11 sites, and New York, where it runs 30, there were widespread layoffs. In Westchester alone, eight reporters were canned, plus two managing editors.
"Just about every experienced and/or older person on the editorial staff was let go," a tipster informed us. "Now it's going to be nothing but 23-year-olds doing twice as much work for the same 25K base salary they were making before." Employees received scheduled meeting times which ended up being individual termination appointments. "It was pretty horrible."
We reached out to Holy Gun-Jumping Email Sender Carll Tucker for a comment last night, but haven't heard back.
Here's his Friday note, in full:
From: Carll Tucker
To: Entire Daily Voice Staff
Hey Team,
Zohar has been a great leader—and a great human being. He has taught us all what it means to be an Internet company. I look forward to his continued involvement with The Daily Voice as a strategic advisor.
Monday morning we will share with you the news about where we're going and how we're going to get there. The news is good—but you'll need to sit tight while we finalize our plans. Check your email about our company-wide phone conference early Monday morning.
I am pumped about the prospect of working with you to build a great company.
Lastly, we would not advise applying for one of the Town Reporter positions currently posted on the Daily Voice's site. If the phone interview goes well, they'll bring you in the next day to punch you in the face.

Before Ben Affleck was cast as Batman in Zack Snyder's upcoming "Man of Steel" sequel featuring Superman, Batman and a recently announced Wonder Woman, actor Josh Brolin had been widely tipped for the role of Gotham City's caped crusader.
In a new interview over at The Envelope, The Times' site devoted to all things awards season, the actor talked about his familial connection to the character — his father appeared on the 1960s TV show starring Adam West — and also his surprise at the outpouring of Internet vitriol that greeted the news that Affleck had won the role.
"You read stuff like, 'I wish Ben Affleck would die,'" Brolin said. "It's Armageddon because he's going to play Batman. What's happening? You can't listen to any of it. It's like a kid in a cereal aisle screaming, 'I want Froot Loops!' You just let him have his tantrum and scream it out."
MORE: Gal Gadot cast as Wonder Woman: Comics world reacts
The controversial casting of Affleck for the as yet untitled film, which is set to fly into theaters July 17, 2015, did spark a significant online backlash — the hashtag #BetterBatmanThanBenAffleck began trending on Twitter, with users offering suggestions as to who would make a better choice to play the superhero, who had been so memorably brought to the screen by Christian Bale in filmmaker Christopher Nolan's Gotham City trilogy.
But other prominent voices in the genre community expressed enthusiasm at the prospect of seeing Henry Cavill's Superman squaring off with Affleck's Batman. "Avengers" filmmaker Joss Whedon, for one, tweeted, "He's got the chops, he's got the chin — just needs the material. Affleck & Cavill toe to toe — I'm in."
Brolin, too, has joined the roster of well wishers. "What I liked was the logline: 'An older, grizzly Batman …'" the actor told The Envelope. "That was interesting to me. I haven't seen that… I'll still watch it to see how grizzled Affleck turns out."

Why The Power Plate?
Why The Power Plate?
Plant-Based Diets Promote Health
Science supports a low-fat, plant-based diet for optimal health. The Academy for Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), the nation's largest organization of nutrition experts, states that "vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the lifecycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes."
The ADA's position paper on vegetarian and vegan diets, published in 2009, references more than 200 studies and papers to support its conclusions. Studies continue to show that plant-based diets can aid in reversing the symptoms of America's most devastating diseases: type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some types of cancer.
People who follow a plant-based diet have a healthier heart. They reap the benefits of lower cholesterol levels than meat-eaters, and heart disease is less common in vegetarians. Plant-based meals are typically low in saturated fat, and since cholesterol is found only in animal products such as meat, dairy, and eggs, it's easy to consume a cholesterol-free diet.
Another benefit of consuming a plant-based diet is getting your blood pressure numbers down. An impressive number of studies show that vegetarians have lower blood pressure than nonvegetarians. A low-fat, plant-based diet has also shown to reverse the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. A diet based on vegetables, legumes, fruits, and whole grains, which is also low in fat and sugar, can lower blood sugar levels and often reduce or even eliminate the need for medication. Since individuals with diabetes are at high risk for heart disease, avoiding fat and cholesterol is important, and a vegetarian diet is the best way to do that.
A plant-based diet helps prevent cancer. Studies of vegetarians show that death rates from cancer are only about one-half to three-quarters of those of the general population. Breast cancer rates are dramatically lower in countries where diets are typically plant-based. When people from those countries adopt a Western, meat-based diet, their rates of breast cancer soar. Vegetarians also have significantly lower rates of colon cancer than meat-eaters. Colon cancer is more closely associated with meat consumption than any other dietary factor.
Protective against cancer, plant-based diets are lower in fat and higher in fiber than meat-based diets. They are also full of foods that have phytochemicals, cancer-fighting substances. This might help to explain why vegetarians have less lung and prostate cancer. Also, some studies have suggested that diets that avoid dairy products may reduce the risk of prostate and ovarian cancer.
People who consume plant-based diets are also less likely to form either kidney stones or gallstones. They may also be at lower risk for osteoporosis because they eat little or no animal protein. A high intake of animal protein encourages the loss of calcium from the bones. Replacing animal products with plant foods reduces the amount of calcium lost. This may help to explain why people who live in countries where the diet is typically plant-based have little osteoporosis, even when calcium intake is lower than that in the dairy-consuming countries.
A simple dietary graphic does not replace nutritional teaching, particularly with regard to nutrient adequacy, supplementation, and dietary changes for specific stages of life. It is important to note that vitamin B12 supplementation is essential for individuals following vegan diets. Because of absorption issues, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the IOM also recommend vitamin B12 supplementation for all individuals older than 50 years.
Taking control of your quality of life starts with consuming a plant-based diet. Filling your plate with fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains is not only your best bet for disease prevention, it's an easy way to reverse damage already done. Follow the Power Plate to optimal health.

I am using Windows 7 ( but this might be with XP too ) and my Taskbar set to hide, only appears when I move down my mouse to the bottom of the screen. Standard MS feature, many people probably using it. However,
when Jaangle full screen is on, the taskbar never reappear, I have to use other means to navigate to the other, open windows running on my PC. Very annoying :-( I am not a programmer, but I guess it is not a major problem, so please fix it in the next release. Thank you. ( Nice application, this Jaangle, by the way, my main music player for a while now. Running always when my PC is on...)

May 30 (Bloomberg) -- WR Hambrecht & Co. Chairman Bill Hambrecht plans to form a professional football league in North American cities where there are no National Football League teams.
The United Football League would require a $30 million investment for each of eight initial franchises, and would sell shares in its teams that would be traded publicly, league spokesman Brian Fisher said. He declined to comment on other financial details.
The 32-team NFL, which generates the highest television ratings of any U.S. sport, has crushed competitors before. Since agreeing to merge with the American Football League in 1966, three other challengers have folded: The World Football League played a full season in 1974 before shutting down the next year; the United States Football League lasted from 1983 to 1986; and the XFL closed in 2001 after one season.
``In can be very costly to penetrate this space,'' said David Carter, executive director of the University of Southern California Sports Business Institute.
Carter said franchise owners might have to accept several years of losses before the league established itself.
NFL Revenue
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined to comment. The league had revenue of about $6 billion last year, $3.73 billion from television alone. Mario Williams, the first pick in the league's 2006 draft, signed a six-year, $54 million contract that guaranteed him $26.5 million -- almost enough to buy a team in the new league. The rookie minimum salary last season was $275,000.
Hambrecht, 71, who started his securities company in 1998, is founding the league with Tim Armstrong, vice president of advertising sales for Google Inc., and has hired Bill Daugherty, founder of Interactive Search Holdings and a former National Basketball Association vice president, Fisher said.
Hambrecht helped persuade Google to use an Internet-based auction for its initial stock sale in 2004, rather than relying on banks to find buyers.
The league, which hasn't decided where to locate teams, would begin play in August 2008 using rules similar to those in college and professional football. The first owner of a franchise is Mark Cuban, who owns the Dallas Mavericks of the NBA, Fisher said. The league would not compete with the NFL for top players, rather try to draw borderline players.
Brad Blank, the Boston-based agent whose clients include New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi and Tennessee Titans receiver David Givens, said he would advise clients to consider a new league if the salaries were high enough to justify the physical risks of playing football.
``These days, I don't suggest someone goes out and does that for $25,000,'' he said.
The formation of the new league was first reported on the New York Times' Web site this morning.
