How I Lost 50 Pounds in 6 Months without Exercising
I looked at the number again.
I was one pound away from 300.
Something had to change.
I had tried to use the gym at work, but with a 12-hour day and a 4 a.m. alarm, rising an hour early to work out wasn't happening. Warm beds are difficult to leave at three in the morning.
So I brought workout clothes with me in order to hit the gym after work. Instead, I convinced myself my time was better used behind the keyboard at home than in the gym. At the end of the day, I just went home without a second thought.
But when I looked at the scale, standing on the edge of 300 pounds, I knew I was in real danger. Heart attacks are common in my family history. So is diabetes.
It wasn't long after that I heard this episode of EconTalk. Russ Roberts was talking with Gary Taubes, author of Good Calories, Bad Calories.
Taubes is also the author of Why We Get Fat, a book Glenn Reynolds promotes on Instapundit. I expected a good interview, but this was an eye-opener.
It would change my life.

What is racism? It's not bias, prejudice, discrimination, and hate. They can be elements of racism, but racism exists without them. Racism is a political and economic system, supported by cultural traits. Racism is a system that rewards and punishes. It works with and within other systems: political, economical, judicial, social, ect.Since Reagan, racism has undergone two major changes. Before Reagan, racism was direct, confrontational; words, laws, and physical violence were designed and used to intimidate a population and stymie their choices of jobs, neighborhoods, education, and other such opportunities. Advantages were plainly given to whites.After Reagan, racism has become indirect. Employing sophisticated tactics of denial, racism became a system in which race, and the racist, is a myth. Voter ids, police violence, skewed statistics, hyperbole and rhetorical arguments from both sides are touted to instill and foment fear or artificially prop up the false notion of a need for enhanced security; meanwhile race is hiding in the background.Racism also has a white component. Sometimes it portrays whites as victims, sometimes as protectors and adjudicators. They fly the flag, celebrate Confederate day, ignoring the Dylan Roofs of the world all the while chanting, Stop living in the past. Just get over it.In its new form, whites are idiot-proof. The absence of substance is overlooked to focus on this distorted reality. Kellyanne Conway deflects with 'Alternative Facts', They came after us! The new racism shuts down dialogue to cope with any protest. Creates excuses in order to normalize racist behavior and proudly stands on the White House lawn (or in the Press Room) to shout: Be loyal! Don't disrespect your President! NOW THAT HE IS WHITE! It appears benign, but its point is still power. Racism is a system. It is protecting its power by making its privilege idiot-proof.

Bhopal, March 20:
A woman was thrown off a running train in Madhya Pradesh after being robbed of her purse.
The victim, Sunita, was travelling to Jodhpur along with her husband Nilesh Jain and two children on the Vishakhapatnam-Jodhpur Express on Thursday.
"We boarded the train at Uslapur station in Bilaspur. My wife suddenly shouted and chased the robber. She nabbed him and tried to take her purse back. The robber tried to jump off the train as it was running at a slow speed. Failing to do so, he pushed Sunita and both fell off the train," Nilesh told IANS on Friday.
"I pulled the chain to stop the train and with the help of fellow passengers managed to get her back on the train. Sunita has suffered injuries on her legs," he said.
The robber, however, managed to flee away with the bag which contained cash, mobile phones and other essential things. IANS

"Empire" of Aljazeera - War & Revolution - Promo
Europe has dramatically changed its tune. Having once embraced Arab autocrats it is now supporting democracy in the Middle East, selectively. In Libya, they are intervening militarily, although Gaddafi was until recently a guest of honour in their capitals. Empire travels across Europe's centres of power to examine the hypocrisy of the Arab world's closest neighbors. France and Britain, who not so long ago were openly courting Gaddafi's oil money, were quick to send their fighter jets across the Mediterranean. And Italy belatedly joined the bombing operation, signalling another volte-face for Berlusconi, who had touted his 2008 "Friendship Treaty" with Libya as his greatest foreign affairs success. Raw-News with cameraman Enrico Marra covered the shooting in Italy. Watch here the promo

Dell's announcement of a chromatically-diverse line of Studio laptops will take no gadget reader by surprise. A leak is what happens when a pin punctures a bladder; the Studio line was splattered months ago all over the internet in an explosion of rainbow-hued offal more akin to a mule overdosed on Alka Seltzer.
Still, now that the Studio line is official, it does look like a step in the right direction. The design is similar to the XPS M1530, with a tapered one-inch thick design and a big side hinge. Unlike the brushed metal of the XPS, the Studio line is plastic... but available in multiple customized covers.
Specs-wise, we're looking at an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, up to 4GB of memory, 320GB hard drives, a Blu-Ray Disc Option, built-in 2-megapixel webcam, Wi-Fi, optional WLAN and optional EVDO. The 15-inch Studio 15 supports a resolution up to 1440x900, while the 17-inch Studio 17 goes up to 1900x1200.
All around, it looks like Dell's trying to move towards Mac-style design: the Studios are about as thick as a MacBook Pro, although they outweigh the latter by two pounds. Outside of a wimpy Intel graphics chip, you can optimize these to compete, feature-for-feature, with an MBP... you can even specify LED backlighting. The Studios also come with a little OS X style Dock installed, prompting one Gizmodo commenter to quip: "How awesome. They preload crap to clean up the crap they preload!"
The Studio 15 starts at $749, although that's bare bones, and all the truly interesting options are going to cost you. If you don't care about a gaming-caliber graphics chipset or Leopard, it looks like Dell has brought a decently attractive and substantially more affordable MacBook Pro clone to the table. It's nice to see Dell starting to give a honk for design.

One problem for those hoping Robert Griffin III comes to Dallas in a backup role this offseason: Apparently, offensive coordinator Scott Linehan isn't a fan of the former Heisman winner.
ESPN's Ed Werder told NFL Live this week that, aside from Linehan not liking Griffin's style of play, there's a feeling that he wouldn't really fit in the Cowboys' offense.
"Not a lot of people in Dallas think he's a great fit in Jason Garrett's offense, and I'm told that Scott Linehan, the offensive coordinator, is really not a fan of RGIII's and doesn't think he would excel with what the Cowboys would ask him to do," Werder said, via the Dallas Morning News.

Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has praised Griffin, but Jones praises just about any player he ever talks about at any length (with the notable exception of Tim Tebow), so we wouldn't read too much into it.
"Well, I'm a fan of RGIII," Jones said. "He's got it. He's a driven young man. I'm a big admirer of RGIII."

Cosmetic Care
Orthodontics (Braces)
Having straight teeth is important for both your health & appearance. We perform a thorough assessment of your teeth with an emphasis on early treatment. We place a high priority on finding the best way to correct teeth that are misaligned as well as jaw position problems. We will implement a program with the appropriate appliance to help normalize the growth of jaws & reduce the need for extractions of teeth. The earlier we begin treatment, the better chance we have for success.
Invisalign® is the revolutionary way to help you get even, straight teeth without noticeable, painful metal braces. Virtually undetectable, Invisalign® aligners are made of strong, clear plastic that gradually guide your teeth into perfect alignment. Unlike metal braces, they have no wires or brackets. Tooth impressions are made, from which Invisalign® develops customized aligners that will slide directly over your teeth. Aligners are typically worn full time (except when eating or drinking) for 12 to 48 months—no longer than you would wear traditional metal braces. Aligners are replaced every two weeks as your teeth shift into place.
Mercury-Free Dentistry
We understand your concerns regarding the use of mercury fillings. Accordingly, at our office we have elected to offer our patients the option of using advanced, new fillings made of tooth-colored materials that contain no metals or mercury, instead of traditional silver fillings.
One-Hour Teeth Whitening
Now you can have significantly whiter teeth in a matter of minutes. Both comfortable & affordable, one hour teeth whitening can make your teeth up to 6-8 shades lighter in as little as 45 minutes. Teeth whitening is safe, effective & very fast, & is performed only by dental professionals.

Mobile advertising startup Adelphic has raised $US11 million in Series B funding, the company confirmed today.
The latest round was led by Blue Chip Venture Company. That brings Boston-based Adelphic's total investment to date up to $US23 million, with other investors including Google Venture and Matrix Partners.
Adelphic has quietly become one of the more interesting pre-IPO adtech companies. Its president and cofounder is Jennifer Lum, the former VP of advertising operations at Quattro Wireless, which was the company that Apple acquired and turned into iAd. She has been named one of Business Insider's "Most Powerful Women To Watch In Mobile Advertising" for three years in a row. The company's CEO is Michael Collins, the former CEO of WPP's mobile ad agency Joule.
Adelphic's major selling point is user identification, no matter which device they use.
The company runs a mobile and cross-device demand side platform with patented user identification technology that allows brands and agencies to target consumers with contextualized ads as they switch from mobile to desktop to tablet.
Cross-device and identification is a seriously important factor in the mobile advertising industry. Facebook is the biggest company leading the charge in this area with the launch of its Atlas ad platform, Apple's iAd is understood to be exploring it using users' Apple ID as an identifier across different devices and other smaller players like Criteo and Tapad also specialize in offering alternatives to the cookie across mobile.
Adelphic says the money will be used to fuel its international growth in both EMEA and APAC, with the company set to increase its employee base from 39 currently to 65 in 2015. The company has yet to reveal its revenues.

We got a half an inch of rain Thursday night, and after another week of summery
weather here at The Farm School, I'm feeling quite relieved for the pastures to have gotten that recharge. We had a nice soaking rain on Monday of last week, but nothing since, and with some really hot dry weather, things were starting to droop all over the farm. We had some near misses on afternoon thunder storms throughout this week, but finally had a nice rainfall just after dark Friday night, and the pastures and vegetables have freshened right up. There looks to be some solid rain in the ten day forecast, and I am optimistic that we will continue to stay wet enough for the pastures and veggies to grow well through August. There had been some loose talk among the vegetable growers about starting irrigation on certain crops next week, but we'll have to see if this rain, and more to come, changes those plans. Broccoli plants have grown enough to start putting on the edible heads, and that process can be enhanced with consistent and ample water.
The sunny hot weather this week forced us to make some small changes in our beef herd grazing plan, but we were able to keep the herd moderately comfortable throughout the heat wave, and they did some good grazing along the way. They spent most of the week in Best Pasture, and instead of breaking it up into three sections, we gave them the whole thing for three days. We added an annex at the north end of their pasture that gave them access to a nice shady yard under the edge of the forest, and they took advantage of the opportunity to get out of the afternoon sun every day. We prefer to break pastures up into small single-day paddocks to ensure that the cows are not re-grazing individual grass plants, and to give the grass as many days as we possibly can to regrow before the next round of grazing. The singe three-day pasture that we used this week was not really in keeping with these ideals, but it was a small compromise that gave the cows a much more comfortable experience through this hot summer weather. The dairy cows also get single-day paddocks to graze, and this week we gave them fresh grass every morning and brought them back into the barn just after lunch to get them out of the sun. They stayed in through afternoon chores, and headed back out for some more grazing around six in the evening, once the heat of the day had passed. The cool cement floor of the barn keeps that space pretty pleasant, no matter how hot it gets outside, and I think our ladies stayed pretty comfortable in there.
Our tomato harvest has just started coming to life, with SunGolds and cherry tomatoes available at our farm-stand Thursday night at the end of the last session of summer programming, and larger tomatoes ripening on windowsills at the Maggie's farmhouse.
SunGolds ripe for picking in the home gardens, huge trays of beautiful slicing tomatoes stacking up in wash-up, and fresh tomatoes in every meal means the peak of summer at The Farm School, and it is a time of year that we all really look forward to. Josh has been doing regular Wednesday canning and preserving sessions in the Learn to Farm Program, and that work will turn to tomato based products starting next week.
I cruised the pastures on Friday afternoon, and there is a lot of grass out there. We've had some great rain this summer, lots of sun, and we have not had any really long baking, hot, dry weather to truly shut down the pasture growth. Rain is by far the most significant factor controlling grass growth, and these July and August rains have made our grazing acreage lush and beautiful.

(CNN) – The battle over health care reform in Washington is erupting over the possibility a bill could be passed without a direct vote. The uproar is coming from the House, where Democrats may vote on a rule that would deem the Senate's version of the bill to be passed.
Both sides of the aisle are playing hardball politics. Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski used a basketball metaphor to voice her opposition, saying Congress is giving new meaning to March Madness. Our Jim Acosta reports on the war of words breaking out on Capitol Hill.
Read more: House Dems weigh controversial rule in health care vote
I do not trust the democrats to be honest in their voteing for
health care. They need to be more transparent .We need to get
our finances in line like us regular people have to do. therefore I want
to vote "NO" on health care.
Austin, Texas
The Health Care debate began and quickly ended with the Republican lawmakers flat refusal to offer any meaningful reduction plan on their mega-corporation masters in Big Pharma, Big Medicine and Big Insurance corporations profit margins.
All that remains from the Health Care debate is now Republican soundbites of 'sleezy and demonic' as merely their callous and crass descriptions of the first meaningful Health Care laws in the past 40 years.
I sincerely hope American voters remember the Republican self-attached labels of 'sleezy and demonic' come election time and vote for all Democratic party members across the board.
I'm sick of CNN being so one sided. Just look at the wording at the bottom of this add. "Tea Party protesters RALLY". There were only about 300 Tea Baggers there, lol. This morning, on the morning news, you said an " Army of Protesters", give me a break. I guess you are against health reform because everyone at CNN has good health insurance. Well, I'm one of the 47 million you never talk about, or interview, that does not. If there were a rally in Washington, of 300 people, for health reform, you would not give them the time of day. Thank you CNN, for being such a balanced news station. BULL
The City Engineer came to my house to do any energy audit yesterday. He said this Government subsidized health care bill is communism! I asked who pays his health insurance premium? He said the city pays 85% of his premium.
A man from church said they are strongly opposed to the health care bill. I asked who pays his insurance premiums? He said he is on Medicare.
A Republican said he is against government subsidized health care. When asked who pays his insurance premiums, he said the Government. When asked if he is happy with his program, he said very happy!
Most of these people seem to think their insurance premiums would increase, even though all Independent studies show the cost of health care will go down and also help reduce the deficit.
I have come to the conclusion that, like the wall street bonus issues, we have a lot of uneducated hypocrites in our country who are not interested in helping anyone but themselves!

Monkton Parish Council
Minutes of the meeting held on 30 November 2009 at 6.30pm at Monkton Village Hall.
Present: Councillor N Cole (Chairman); Councillors J Way, R Wade and Mrs P Butler
Clerk: Mrs G Anzani
Members 6
of the public:
Cllr Tapsell was absent due to illness. Vice Chairman, Councillor Nick Cole, acted as Chairman.
The minutes of the Parish Council Meeting held on 14 September 2009 were agreed and signed by the Chairman.
No matters to report.
Clerk informed the Council that Cllr Mrs P Butler would be donating the village Christmas tree this year. Cllr Cole agreed the tree could be placed in his yard. Terry Marsh to be contacted to assist with the Christmas tree lights.
Clerk was contacted by Mr Jakeman who confirmed he would paint the inside of the bus shelter for the cost of £20.00. All Councillors agreed that Mr Jakeman should go ahead with the work.
SIGNED ……………………………. Dated ………………………….
It was brought to the Clerk's attention that the annual Christmas Light's
Competition should be organised. All Councillors agreed it should go ahead as usual with a £30.00 prize for the three winning houses. Clerk to organise 3 posters to advertise this event and to advertise on the village website.
Repairs to the fence in Monkton recreation ground need to be carried out. The Minster Groundsman has agreed to carry out the work on a private basis. Minster Parish Council is unable to undertake this work due to insurance implications. Minster Parish Council confirmed this will be looked into. Any possible further work might be carried out by them in the future once this has been clarified.
Charles Hibberd is the Kent County Council elected member for the Thanet area. Since the elections in June of this year, plans for the next five years are rapidly being written (Five Year Plan). Important issues he discussed were:
Highlighting a particularly serious problem in Kent where people in various parts of the country pay rates to their local authority during their working life then decide to retire to Kent and this in turn has an unbalanced financial impact on our local authority. This has been brought to the Government's attention and they argue that overall everything is balanced out.
He also spoke about 'localism' and how more power and money should be passed on to Parish Councils. This could lead to the possible amalgamation of Parish Councils.
He discussed how the Government were in bigger financial trouble than ever before. There was to be 10 pct budget cuts. This will lead to 700- 800 redundancies in KCC including school teachers, social workers and clerical staff. Cllr Hibberd stated that we cannot destroy services that have taken so long to build up. Monkton maybe affected by reduced bus services.
The East Kent Link Road was mentioned. The road will start at the Prospect Inn and end at the Power Station. The work will finish in 2012. There will be consultation and alterations may be included but Monkton may not have any input as the road does not pass through the Parish of Monkton. There is speculation that there will be more traffic along the top road as a spur off to Westwood that Monkton should be aware of.
He passed on a message from Cllr Sheldrick, Chairman of Thanet District Council, that the fund raising race night at the village hall was an excellent evening.
Finally he pointed out that there was money for grants available. The application for grants begins in April. There are monies available for Monkton Highways. This current year, County Council Grant is £1000, which is yet to be taken up by Monkton Parish Council. Clerk to contact Cllr Hibberd to apply for the grant.
SIGNED ……………………………. Dated ………………………….
Cllr Hibberd welcomed questions. Cllr Cole asked about the Five Year Plan. It was to be completed by the summer 2010. Maybe Monkton Parish would be consulted on it. If Monkton Parish Council had any interest in the plan then Cllr Hibberd should be informed as soon as possible. A document on this would be drafted and placed on the internet.
It was asked whether there was a plan available to view the new East Kent Link Rd. Cllr Wade confirmed plans are available at offices of Minster Parish Council.
Trevor Skeltonrepresented ACRK. ACRK support rural communities such as ours with matters like village halls, affordable housing and bus services. ACRK support Villages in completing Parish Plans and discussed whether Monkton may be interested in completing a Parish Plan.
In brief this is where villagers collate information about their village and attach a time line and budget and are then able to produce an action plan. A Parish Plan is not to be carried out by the Parish Council as there is too much work involved, but the Parish Council are encouraged to support the Parish Plan.
Ideally, a few village volunteers come forward to make up a steering group. A questionnaire is produced for the villages to complete. Software is available for the data to be analysed. The final report produces a list of suggested issues and this may be placed on the village website. Also a summary should go to every household. Grants up to £5000 or 50% of the costs should be available to assist with the implementation of a Parish Plan. There could be as much as £15000 available for community projects once a parish plan is completed. ACRK can assist at all stages. Clerk to try and organise a steering group.
It was agreed to have a new sign in the village pointing to St. Mary
Magdalene Church with 12th century attached also. It was also agreed by the
Parish Council that the sign should be attached to the broken finger sign. Cllr
Charles Hibberd confirmed there was £2500 available for Highway
improvements in Monkton. Clerk to liaise with Terry Elvey at Highways and Cllr Hibberd in order to push this project forward.
On the issue of signs, Cllr Roy Wade suggested a Flash Speed Sign should
be placed on entering Monkton from the Minster end, as motorists tend to speed through Monkton. This is thought to be partly due to the lack of speed limit signs from Minster to Monkton. Clerk to include this in grant application.
SIGNED ……………………………. Dated …………………………
a) Payments and receipts as listed were noted and agreed.
b) The Chairman proposed that the Clerk write a letter to TDC concerning the ongoing dispute about rent charges for the Recreation Ground. The letter was to be the same as previous letters outlining the usual agreement that the rent is to be waived. All Councillors agreed. Clerk to send letter.
c) Councillor Way questioned whether the laptop computer was insured. Clerk to check with the previous clerk, Mrs. Gardiner.
d) Councillor Wade informed the Parish Council of the availability of Grants for County Members. It was suggested that funds would be useful for the Play Area, the Finger Sign and maintenance of the roundabout. The closing date for applications is the end of the financial year.
KIACC: Cllr Cole reported the last meeting was called off due to insufficient business. There has been a lot of activity at the airport but all within normal daytime hours and therefore the amount of fines issued have been zero. With regard to the ongoing night time flying policy- MPC are not against the development of the airport but local communities must also be protected.
Highways: Nothing more to add to what had been discussed earlier.
KALC (TAPC): Cllr Wade explained at the last KALC meeting that Paul Verrall addressed all present on the cuts to be expected in the next 5 years on rates. The income and expenditure will be less in real terms and the precept should be increased due to the low agency payments if existing structures are to be maintained.
Also, on the matter of S.106 Agreements, KALC are trying to change the law. An example of how this could affect Monkton was outlined by the development of the 100 houses in Minster. This development has an impact on Monkton but in law Monkton Parish does not have any rights included in the 106 agreement. KALC are working on this type of development so that all Parishes affected have legal rights, including the ability to be involved in the consultation procedure.

Trump's problem with women
Ann Coulter at her mocking best:
The New York Times' front-page article last Saturday on Donald J. Trump's dealings with women forced me into a weekend of self-examination. As much as I support Trump, this isn't a cult of personality. He's not Mao, Kim Jong-un or L. Ron Hubbard. We can like our candidates, but still acknowledge their flaws. No one's perfect.
I admit there are some things about Trump that give me pause. I'm sure these will come out eventually, so I'm just going to list them.
First -- and this is corroborated by five contemporaneous witnesses -- in 1978, Trump violently raped Juanita Broaddrick in a Little Rock, Arkansas, hotel room, then, as he was leaving, looked at her bloody lip and said, "Better put some ice on that" -- oh wait, I'm terribly sorry. Did I say Trump? I didn't mean Trump, I meant Bill Clinton.
Hang on -- here we go! Knowing full well about Bill Clinton's proclivity to sexually assault women, about three weeks after that rape, Trump cornered Broaddrick at a party and said, pointedly, "I just want you to know how much Bill and I appreciate the things you do for him. Do you understand? Everything you do."
No! My mistake! That wasn't Trump either. That was Hillary Clinton. ... But this next one I'm sure was Trump.
In the early 1990s, Trump invited a young female staffer to his hotel room at the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock, dropped his pants and said, "Kiss it" -- WAIT A SECOND!
I don't know how this keeps happening. That was Bill Clinton. Please bear with me -- it's late at night and my notes are jumbled.
As CEO of an organization, Trump had a female employee, just months out of her teens, perform oral sex on him while he made business calls. That girl's name was Monica Lewin-- No! Wrong again! That was Bill Clinton, too! Please don't stop reading. Let me find my Trump notes ...
What I meant was that Trump was the one who later smeared that girl as a delusional stalker. She may have volunteered for the sex -- at around age 20 -- but Monica Lewinsky didn't volunteer to be slandered! And yet this fiend, this user-of-women, this retrograde misogynist, Donald Trump, deployed his journalist friends, like Sidney Blumenthal, to spread rumors that Monica was a stalker, trying to blackmail the president.
Oh, boy -- this is embarrassing. This must seem very sloppy. That wasn't Trump either; it was Hillary Clinton.
There must be something here that was Trump ... Here! I have one.
When an attractive woman desperately in need of a job came to Trump's office in 1993, instead of helping, he lunged at her, kissed her on the mouth, grabbed her breast and put her hand on his genitals. He later told a mistress that the claim was absurd because the woman, Kathleen Willey, had such small breasts.
Uh-oh -- you're not going to believe this, but -- yep, that was Bill Clinton.
This one, I'm sure was Trump. In January 1992, Trump went on "60 Minutes" to slime nightclub singer Gennifer Flowers, knowing full well she was telling the truth. He implied she belonged in a loony bin, telling millions of viewers "every time she called, distraught ... she said sort of wacky things."
Dammit! I don't know how this keeps happening. That wasn't Trump! That was Hillary, smearing one of her husband's sexual conquests.
Let's just go back to the Times' story, based on months of investigation and interviews with hundreds of women. I'll give it to you straight: When Trump was at the New York Military Academy as a teenager, one person who knew him said -- and this is corroborated by two other witnesses: "Donald was extremely sensitive to whether or not the women he invited to campus were pretty."
I almost threw up reading that. I am physically ill.
Graduates face a big challenge
When they go into the Real World, college and high school grads will actually have to THINK
Paul Driessen
As they don caps and gowns, endure commencement speeches and take their diplomas, many high school and college graduates face bleak prospects in an economy that grew a dismal 0.5% the first quarter.
The United States added a meager 160,000 new non-farm jobs in April, a paltry 4,000 of them in manufacturing. First quarter 2016 averaged just 203,000 jobs per month. The labor force participation rate remains stuck at an abysmal 63% – meaning 93 million working age Americans are still unemployed.
Many who are working hold multiple jobs to make ends meet, while others are toiling at temporary, part-time or "gig" jobs, at lower pay, with few benefits and little job security.
They and the graduates may be hoping that Donald Trump will "Make America great again," Hillary Clinton will "revitalize" our ailing economy, or Bernie Sanders will "invest" trillions of tax dollars to train and employ millions of young Americans in a 100% clean energy economy.
Like the candidates, they may be blaming our economic woes on China, climate change, Wall Street, the one percent, Mexico, inadequate supervision of greedy capitalist corporations, unpatriotic companies fleeing to foreign shores, or insufficient tax revenues to support essential government programs.
All are appealing excuses, but the real answer is much closer to home and involves multiple self-inflicted wounds. Most legislators and regulators are loath to admit any responsibility for our economic woes, and most graduates will find it hard to analyze the problem. However, the analytical process is essential.
The difficulty for students and graduates is that most were not taught how to think. Their teachers too often present mostly liberal-socialist ideology as unassailable fact, discourage or prohibit discussion and debate, and shelter sensitive snowflakes via speech codes, safe zones and bans on verbal microagression.
While raking in millions of taxpayer dollars for climate research, a cabal of RICO-20 university professors has gone even further. It has asked US and state attorneys general to launch racketeering prosecutions of anyone who disagrees with alarmist views on "dangerous manmade global warming."
World-renowned physicist and Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman's admonition has been largely discarded in the halls of academia. "I would rather have questions that can't be answered," he said, "than answers that can't be questioned." Sadly, answers that none dare question now dominate classroom life.
And so, as you and graduates in your family or circle of friends leave those institutions of rote learning, and go into the Real World, you will have to undertake your greatest challenge: learning to think.
Examining, questioning, discussing and challenging hypotheses, assertions and accepted "facts" are always absolutely essential for scientific, technological and societal progress. In this election year, it behooves us all to demand details from candidates, honestly assess whether their proposals will improve or worsen our economic situation, insist on and participate in rigorous debates, and cast informed votes.
As you try to understand why our economy has been so anemic, why so few jobs are being created, and why one in three young American voters supports socialism as better than free enterprise – here are just a few realities to ponder.
God gave Moses Ten Commandments. The federal government has given us tens of thousands of commandments, enforced by millions of nameless, unelected bureaucrats who have nearly unfettered discretion to interpret and administer their rules. Complying with them costs American families and businesses $1.9 trillion per year. That's more than the entire Russian economy, more than the IRS collected in corporate and personal taxes in 2015, and $15,000 in hidden costs for every family.
The Obama Administration has been publishing 80,000 pages of new regulations per year – and is preparing to unleash 3,000 more rules before it leaves office. Small businesses are hurt most, as they cannot possibly read, comprehend and comply with this regulatory tsunami. They thus live in fear that any unknown or inadvertent violation will result in massive fines or even jail time. Indeed, more than 4,500 federal rules carry criminal penalties, and lack of knowledge or intent is no defense.
Coupled with the highest corporate tax rates in the developed world, new hourly wage and overtime rules, and mountains of state and local regulations, these federal edicts dramatically impair hiring and growth.
This unintended job and economic destruction has shrunk middle class family incomes by more than $1,000 per year during the Obama era, sent 3 million more families into poverty, and added over 600,000 black Americans to the overall poverty number. The intentional damage is even more insidious.
The Obama EPA's war on fossil fuels has contributed greatly to the loss of nearly 50,000 coal industry jobs since 2008. Mrs. Clinton has made it clear that she will "put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business," if she is elected. Like Senator Sanders, she also wants to eliminate most US oil and natural gas production – while ignoring the fact that fossil fuels still provide 82% of all US energy.
That would mean vastly more land-intensive, heavily subsidized wind, solar and biofuel substitutes. It would send electricity and motor fuel prices skyrocketing to levels now found in California and New York, or even in Britain and Germany: double, triple or quadruple what most Americans now pay.
For hospitals, factories, school districts and other major energy users, that would bring thousands to millions of dollars per year in higher costs – and thus countless more lost jobs and closed doors.
President Obama, Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Sanders, most Democrats and even some Republicans justify these self-inflicted wounds by saying they are necessary to prevent catastrophic global warming and climate change. But even if plant-fertilizing carbon dioxide is a primary culprit – and thousands of scientists say it is not – even shutting down all US fossil fuel use would bring no benefits, amid tremendous pain.
China alone accounts for 80% of the entire world's increase in coal consumption so far this century. It now consumes as much coal as the rest of the world combined. The 155 new coal-fired power plants it is currently planning to build will burn twice as much coal as all of Germany's existing plants do. Coal generates 67% of China's electricity, oil and natural gas 23%, hydro 10%, and wind and solar combined only 2 percent. Nearly a billion Chinese still exist on less than $5 per day, and the Middle Kingdom will be burning fossil fuels for decades to improve their living standards.
India, Indonesia, the rest of Asia, all of Africa and much of Latin America are in the same situation. All are burning coal, oil and natural gas to lift billions out of abject poverty – and will continue doing so.
America's political classes always protect themselves. It is poor, minority, middle-class and blue-collar families that will suffer – along with most of you graduates – from these all pain/no gain climate policies.
Politicians always like to show they care, by giving other people's money to worthy causes, their favorite voting blocs and their campaign contributors. They are far less charitable with their own money. Joe and Jill Biden raked in $333,182 in 2009 – and gave just $4,820 to charity; during the previous decade, they averaged $369 annually. Between 2007 and 2014, the Clintons "earned" $139 million; they gave $14,959,450 to charity – but 98.7% of that went to the scandal-ridden Clinton Family Foundation.
Socialist and anti-energy policies boil down to strangling jobs and wealth creation … making the economic pie smaller and smaller … taking money from hard-working taxpayers and giving it to "less fortunate" people who aren't working but will likely vote for politicians who promise them "free stuff" … and ensuring "more equitable sharing" of ever greater scarcity, poverty and misery (for non-ruling elites).
As to telling poor countries to stop using fossil fuels, it is an unconscionable crime against humanity to impose policies that pretend to protect Earth's poor, malnourished and energy-deprived masses from hypothetical climate chaos – by perpetuating poverty, malnutrition and disease that kill millions of them every year, right now.
Think about all of this as you take your diploma, evaluate candidates, and head to the polls.

Teal show up in time for excellent late season hunts
The season opener on teal and doves was pretty much a wash out. But all that changed with a full moon and a north wind last weekend. Instead of getting hammered by rain, a whole lot of hunters on ponds and in the marsh dropped easy limits of teal.
"It was one of the best hunts I've ever had," said Jim Stelle, who has been a Texas duck hunter for over four decades. "We needed a full moon and a little bit of a north wind to move teal down the Central Flyway, and that's exactly what we got last weekend. We hunted on a two-acre pond and had a pretty good hunt Saturday. The next day we hunted the same spot and had six limits of teal by 8:10 that morning."
Hunters reported seeing huge flights of teal swinging in over the decoys. Some of the best hunts have been on crawfish ponds and the marsh south of Winnie. We're into the final days of the early teal season. It'll close Sunday, Sept. 30.
By the way, the latest decoy tactic for teal hunters is to use three or four Mojo doves place in the middle of the decoy spread. We used them last weekend with excellent results.
The bow season on deer opens Sept. 29
The bow season on deer opens this Saturday Sept. 29, and runs through Nov. 2. And the East Texas squirrel season runs from Oct. 1 through Feb. 24. So, as of next week we'll have the opportunity to hunt, deer, squirrels and doves.
If you're looking for an opportunity to fill a hole in this year's hunting calendar without breaking the bank you might check out the Big Time Texas Hunting program. Hunters hoping for a chance at winning premium guided hunt packages through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Big Time Texas Hunts program have just three weeks left to enter. Monday, Oct. 15 is the deadline.
Hunters can enter to win any of 10 premium guided hunt packages in this year's Big Time Texas Hunts drawing. All lodging and food is included and most of the packages allow winners to bring friends along to hunt. There are packages to hunt bighorn sheep, mule deer, white-tailed deer, pronghorn, alligator, waterfowl, upland game birds, wild hog and exotics.
New this year is an opportunity to hunt nilgai antelope in South Texas. The nilgai antelope – also called the "blue bull" – is a massive big game animal from southeast Asia that was introduced onto the famed King Ranch during the late 1920s. These impressive animals now thrive on the grasslands of South Texas where mature males can tip the scales at 700 pounds. Not only are nilgai huge, they are also a challenge to hunt. Their keen eyesight, hearing and sense of smell make them sensitive to predators and they spook easily.
"Big Time Texas Hunts allows everyone a chance to win unique hunting packages that are out of reach for most Texans. Beyond this, hunters can feel good about purchasing entries because all of the money raised is earmarked for wildlife conservation and public hunting projects," said Justin Dreibelbis, TPWD Private Lands and Public Hunting Program Director.
Big Time Texas Hunts raises over $600,000 each year for wildlife research, habitat conservation efforts, and public hunting programs in Texas. Over $8 million has been raised since the program began in 1998.
Big Time Texas Hunts entries are available online, under the "Hunting" category, for $9 each or for $10 each at license retailers, or by phone at (800) 895-4248. Call center hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is a required $5 administrative fee for each phone or online transaction, but unlimited items can be purchased (such as 2018-19 hunting and fishing licenses) during a single transaction for this $5 fee. You are not required to purchase or have a hunting or fishing license to buy Big Time Texas Hunts entries.
How not to hunt doves
Each September at the start of dove hunting season, game wardens come across the same illegal practices and some cases that leave them shaking their heads.
In Titus County, for example, game wardens checked three young men in a field, one of whom claimed he wasn't hunting and had no shotgun. After a brief series of questions he admitted to hunting without a license and retrieved his hidden shotgun. Two of the three also had not completed the required hunter education certification. A short time later the warden drove by the same field and saw another truck had arrived. Two mourning doves were found dead on the ground beside the truck and were covered in fire ants. The warden located the hunters and warned them about rules against waste of game. Four additional young men were also checked and the warden discovered two were using unplugged shotguns capable of holding more than three shells and two had no hunter education certification. Tickets for the violations were issued.
A Harris County game warden came across a dove hunter who left evidence of his illegal activity on his face. The warden had observed two hunters in the middle of a cattle field hunting doves, and upon greeting them, noticed bits of cracked corn were stuck to the man's face. Suspecting a baited field, the warden looked in the bed of their truck and found an empty bag of cracked corn. Trying not to laugh, he asked the guy if he had been eating corn. The subject looked puzzled, then felt his face and brushed the cracked corn off. The two individuals sadly showed the warden where they had placed the corn. Tickets were issued, and weapons were seized to hold them accountable to show up for their hearing. Charges were filed, and civil restitution is pending.

Council Tax Support
The following sections answer many questions about Council Tax Support including advice on 'How to Apply'. You can use the Benefits Calculator (see 'Related Pages') to see if you could qualify.
Council Tax Support
In April 2013, Council Tax Benefit was replaced by a localised support scheme to help people on a low income with their council tax.
The amount of Council Tax Support awarded will depend upon the level of income and capital, the number, age and circumstances of people in the claimant's household. Any award is used to reduce the council tax that is paid.
Who can claim Council Tax Support?
You may get Council Tax Support if you are liable to pay council tax on a property you are occupying as your home and your household income and capital (savings and investments) are below a certain level. You could qualify if you are out of work, or in work and earning a wage. If you receive Universal Credit this will normally include any housing costs you are entitled to, but it will not include any financial help for Council Tax.
Help can also be provided based on the gross weekly income of all other adults sharing your home, as long as they are not your partner, not responsible for council tax or not paying you rent.
Use the Benefits Calculator to see if you could qualify for Council Tax Support.
Who can't claim Council Tax Support?
You can't usually get Council Tax Support if: you have savings of more than £16,000, unless you are aged 60 or over and getting the 'guarantee credit' of Pension Credit.
Apply for Council Tax Support
To claim Council Tax Support you must fill in an application form and send it to the Benefits Section at Pippbrook. You can either download a printable 'Benefit Application Form', (see Downloads), or contact MVDC to send you one by post.
Download a Benefit Application Form ›
Make sure you complete and return the form immediately as benefit is normally awarded from the Monday following the date the application form is received by MVDC. You will also need to provide evidence in support of your claim. Some examples of the proofs required include: ID, pay slips, occupational pension, other benefits, tax credits, all your capital (bank statements, bond certificates, etc).
If you haven't got all the evidence asked for in support of your claim, send whatever you have with the form straightaway. You can send the rest in within one calendar month. The Benefits Section will write to you for any further information it needs.
If you make a claim for Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance (Income Based), Employment Support Allowance (Income Related) or Guaranteed Pension Credit then MVDC will write to you for any further information it needs.
How is my Council Tax Support worked out?
The amount of Council Tax Support that you will be entitled to depends upon how much your weekly income is (including Universal Credit) and what your circumstances are, for example, your age, the size of your family and whether anyone in the house is elderly or disabled.
Once the Benefits Section has looked carefully at your income and your circumstances, it then does a calculation. Generally speaking, the higher your income is, the less your weekly Council Tax Support will be.
If you are in receipt of Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance (income based), Employment Support Allowance (income related) or Guaranteed Pension Credit and you have no grown up people living with you other than your partner, then you may qualify for full Council Tax Support.
Your claim for Council Tax Support will be continuous for as long as you are entitled. However, the Benefits Section will contact you from time to time either by arranging a visit or by post to check that it is using the correct information to calculate your benefit.
Backdated Council Tax Support
You may be able to claim Council Tax Support for a past period. This is called backdating. Visit the Backdating Claims page for more information.
How do MVDC pay Council Tax Support?
If you pay council tax, MVDC normally send you a council tax bill showing your Council Tax Support entitlement. You then only pay the reduced amount. This means you will not actually get any money, but your council tax will be less.
What to do when you think the Council Tax Support decision is wrong
If you are unhappy with the decision the Benefits Section has made with your Council Tax Support, you may ask us to explain our decision. Visit the How to Appeal page for more information.
Change in Circumstances
During the time you are receiving Council Tax Support you may have certain changes in your circumstances, such as a change of job, the receipt of another state benefit, or someone moving in, or out of your home.
You must notify the council of all changes in your circumstances, in writing, as soon as they happen. Visit the Change in Circumstances page for more information.
For telephone enquiries, please ask for the Benefits team on 01306 885001, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Now that we have your attention, are you curious what this is all about?
We've been spreading the brain injury awareness word this Brain Injury Awareness Month, with different #areyouaware Tweets and Facebook posts every day. There's also an areyouaware.ca site!
What's a '#'?
A '#' is a hashtag. It's a way to search for other Facebook or Twitter posts with the same hashtag. It's also how online campaigns go viral, so we want as many #areyouaware hashtags out there as possible! (We're also using #braininjury as opposed to 'brain injury' in our posts for the same reason.)
Ok. What can I do?
Check out BIST's Facebook and Twitter feeds every day in June. Like our message? Re-tweet on Twitter! 'Like' and 'share' them on Facebook! 'And, better yet:

Another test version of Windows 8 called a "release preview" will be released in the first week of June, a Microsoft exec said Tuesday.
Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsoft's Windows and Windows Live Division, made the announcement at the Windows 8 Dev Days conference in Japan.
Microsoft is marking Windows 8's release milestones using new terminology, with "release preview" possibly taking the place of Microsoft's old "release candidate" term. (A product in the release candidate stage, in Microsoft's parlance, means the software bugs are fixed but the basic features aren't changed.) Currently, Windows 8 is available for testing as a "consumer preview," having been issued in that form in late February. The OS was at the "developer preview" stage back in September when it was announced at Microsoft's Build conference for developers.
The traditional nomenclature for Microsoft's public software releases has been "beta," "release candidate," "release to manufacturing" and "general availability." General availability is the actual product launch. It's thought that Windows 8 will be available as a product sometime in the fall of this year, although Microsoft hasn't confirmed a date.
Windows Server 2012
Microsoft also announced this week that the "release candidate" of Windows Server 2012, which is the actual product name for formerly the code-named "Windows Server 8," will be publicly available in a close timeframe with the Windows 8 release preview. Jeffrey Snover, distinguished engineer and the lead architect for the Windows Server Division, made the announcement in this blog post.
Snover's use of the familiar "release candidate" term probably signifies that nothing has substantially changed in the number of Microsoft's software releases before product release. Only the names seem to have changed.
Client and server Windows releases now are timed somewhat closely. Microsoft started up a policy of aligning its client and server code bases back when it released Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Still, some expert Microsoft observers thought that the dual-platform nature of Windows 8, being built for both x86/x64 and ARM silicon, along with the many substantial changes in Windows Server 2012, would cause the two products to arrive at different times. However, Microsoft is now saying it will deliver both products this year.

Dear Supporter of the Air Force Monument,
Former Secretary Peter J. Gravett, California Department of Veterans Affairs, formally approved the placement of five service monuments upon the hallowed grounds of the Northern California Veterans Cemetery (NCVC) in Igo, CA. Included in this approval was the go-ahead to begin work on the first of five service monuments, this one dedicated to the men and women of the United States Air Force.
The 12-foot tall aluminum Air Force Monument is titled "Into the Wild Blue Yonder" and reflects upon the Air Force's history and mission. When constructed, it will include a globe 5 feet in diameter, resting upon a 3 foot high pyramid, with a 6 foot square base. Encircling the globe and spiraling 4 feet into the heavens will be an aluminum contrail with a deltoid-shaped aerospace vehicle at its tip.
Fundraising has begun and we'd like to invite you to become a member of our High Flight Club. Here's how the program works.
The Air Force Monument will rest upon a four-sided concrete and granite base. In addition to aircraft engravings, members of our High Flight Club will have their names inscribed as follows:
- Platinum Star Donor (a gift of $20,000 or more)
- Silver Star Donor (a gift of $10,000 to $14,999)
- Gold Star Donor (a gift of $15,000 to $19,999)
- Bronze Star Donor (a gift of $5,000 to $9,999)
Your generous cash donation would be greatly appreciated. Simply complete and mail back the High Flight Club form, along with your donation. Or, do everything on-line using PayPal. The choice is yours.
Please accept our thanks, in advance, for your support of this important project intended to honor all our Air Force men and women. Should you require additional information about the project, please feel free to contact the committee at (530) 347-6431.
Thank you!

Jumble Display
A mixture of products or brands on a single display, such as a clearance table.
A word or phrase submitted to a search engine in an effort to locate relevant documents or websites. Picking keywords is the process of determining what topics are most relevant to your target audience or buyer persona and crafting content around those topics.
Landing Pages
Landing pages sometimes known as a "lead capture page" is a single web page that appears in response to clicking on an advertisement. These pages direct visitors or "traffic" to increase conversion rates of marketing campaigns. The best use of a landing page is not what it is, but what it can do. Your landing pages should provide a customized sales pitch for the visitor.
Marketing is the process of attracting attention, raising the interest of your target market, and influencing their decision-making process. It consists of public relations, advertising and branding. It is the tool that educates and creates a demand. Your marketing gives your sales team the opportunity to close sales rather than chasing them down. Marketing includes identifying unmet needs, producing products and services to meet those needs: and pricing, distributing, and promoting those products and services to produce a profit. It is a critical business function for attracting and getting more customers.
Marketing Calendar
In order to stay on track of your marketing strategies, budget and time management it is always a good point to create a marketing calendar. It is a tool used by companies to show where and when marketing events, media campaigns and merchandising efforts are happening.
Message Vehicle
A specific channel or publication that carries the advertising message to a target audience. For example, one medium would be magazines, while one vehicle would be Time magazine.
Meta Data
Data that tells search engines what your website is about. For example, an image may include metadata that describes how large the picture is, the color depth, the image resolution, when the image was created, and other data. A text document's metadata may contain information about how long the document is, who the author is, when the document was written, and a short summary of the document. Web pages often include metadata in the form of meta tags. Description and keywords meta tags are commonly used to describe the Web page's content. Most search engines use this data when adding pages to their search index.
Meta Tags
A comprehensive term that is comprised of meta titles, descriptions and keywords. These three items together are what are referred to as meta tags. The tags are elements that provide information about a given web page, most often to help search engines categorize them correctly. Note: these are inserted into the HTML and as such are not directly visible to a user visiting the site.
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service)
is a standard way to send messages that include multimedia content to and from mobile phones. It extends the core SMS capability which only allowed exchange of text messages up to 160 characters in length. The most popular use is to send photographs from camera-equipped handsets, although it is also popular as a method of delivering news and entertainment content including videos, pictures, text pages and ringtones.
Mobile Marketing
Mobile marketing is marketing on or with a mobile device, such as a cell phone. Mobile marketing can also be defined as "the use of the mobile medium as a means of marketing communication", the "distribution of any kind of promotional or advertising messages to customer through wireless networks". More specific definition is the following: "using interactive wireless media to provide customers with time and location sensitive, personalized information that promotes goods, services and ideas, thereby generating value for all stakeholders".
MO, MOM (Mobile Originated Message)
is an SMS/MMS message received by a mobile device.
MOTO ( Mail Order/Telephone Order)
A business that relies on selling their products over the phone or through the postal service.
NFC (Near Field Communication)
is a new upcoming data transfer protocol. It uses close proximity to transmit data between two NFC type devices (one a client and one a reader/writer/broadcaster module). Basically NFC lets you tap your device on a reader to then instantly transfer and exchange data.
When a consumer agrees to join your mobile promotions. For example, you post "Text NEWS to 38714 to receive product updates" on your website. A visitor to your website sees this and texts in. You just added a new subscriber! This is an example of a successful opt-in.
If the subscriber above decides they no longer want to receive SMS text messages, all they need to do is text STOP or REMOVE to 38714, and they will be removed, or opted out, from your list.
Pay Per Click (PPC)
Advertising technique in which an advertiser puts an ad in an advertising venue, and pays that venue each time a visitor clicks on a text ad. Google AdWords is the classic and most used example of this.
Public Relations (PR)
Public Relations, or "PR" usually involves communicating with the media and through the media to present your product or service. It also often involves cooperative efforts with other people and organizations to create good will within the community and enhance the client's image.
QR Code (Quick Response Code)
is a matrix barcode or two dimensional code readable by a QR scanner, mobile phones with a camera, and smartphones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.

text: kscarbel2 4,144 Posted August 10, 2016 Summer Fed lull has investors 'whistling past the graveyard' The Financial Times / August 9, 2016 August has a history of turning ugly, but there could be deeper trouble further ahead Periods of calm across markets rarely last long and August has a history of turning decidedly ugly for investors. The summer has been distinguished by very supportive central banks, with the Bank of England's kitchen sink effort in the wake of the Brexit vote just the latest example of the "central bank put" pumping up asset prices. With many central banks still looking to ease policy, one stands apart and holds the key to whether global equities can keep climbing, led by US share prices setting a record pace. In the wake of last week's robust employment data, the shadow of tighter US Federal Reserve policy and, by extension, that of a firmer dollar remains faint with little prospect of a sharper outline emerging over the coming weeks. For now, complacency reigns, with the US bond market and many investors convinced the Fed will stick to the policy sidelines and keep interest rates low for a long time. Two solid months of job gains in June and July falls into the camp of constituting the best of both worlds for markets. US equities are rising on the idea that second-half activity may gather pace and hopefully ignite earnings growth, while the bond market shrugs off a strong jobs print and continues to expect no action from the Fed. Market expectations of a US interest rate tightening only rise above 50 per cent by March of 2017. The current two-year Treasury note yield of 0.72 per cent remains below last December's level of 1 per cent, when the Fed finally began tightening policy. Such a belief in the mantra of "lower for forever" against the backdrop of aggressive bond purchases by other central banks has compressed global bond yields and spurred a stampede into emerging market sovereign debt that sport higher fixed returns because they also reflect a greater degree of risk. As measures of market volatility compress ever tighter and the search for yield embraces risqué areas of bond land, investors are largely viewing the world through the lens of secular stagnation. The idea that the US economy will shift into a higher gear and trigger a reappraisal of the dollar with dangerous consequences for elevated EM prices, let alone US assets, notably expensive looking bond proxies — the shares of high dividend paying companies — appears a dim prospect to investors. One can't blame them for whistling past the graveyard at this juncture, however. Playing a role is the calendar, with the Fed not meeting until well into next month. As Lou Crandall at Wrightson Icap notes: "There is still plenty of time for events to undermine the case for a rate hike, as they have done repeatedly in recent quarters. It is much too early to say with confidence that the data will line up in favour of a rate hike on September 21." The annual gathering of central bankers at Jackson Hole in late August, with a speech from Janet Yellen, will probably offer little new information about the policy outlook. Not until we see the tone of the August jobs data early next month, does the potential beckon for a stronger reaction from investors and the dollar. This is when things might become interesting. Based on employment and inflation considerations, a tightening of US policy from a meagre 0.25 to 0.5 per cent range is warranted. Longview Economics makes the point that two forces — growing wages via a tightening jobs market and accelerating credit and money supply growth — support higher US service sector inflation. "The risks to the consensus view are therefore skewed to the upside, with the growing likelihood that the Fed is forced, at some stage, to once again begin talking up the prospect of rate hikes," says Chris Watling at Longview. Such talk, however, raises the prospect of a stronger dollar, and as we have often heard, Fed officials do worry about financial market turmoil stemming from a rejuvenated reserve currency tightening financial conditions. At some point and perhaps sooner than the market thinks, US policy officials need to break this impasse. The longer the Fed stays on the sidelines, the more distorted markets become, storing up a much more painful outcome for investors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Friends are sometimes called "practical mystics" because Quaker worship has been the wellspring for service in the community and world. Commitment to a life of obedience to the Spirit has been of essential importance to Friends both as individuals and as Meetings. This commitment has led us to support much that is creative in public life, education, business, and concern for the oppressed. It also has led us to oppose practices and institutions that result in violence and exploitation in the world around us.
An old story relates the whispered question asked by someone attending meeting for worship for the first time and puzzled by the absence of overt activity: "When does the service begin?" The response: "When the meeting for worship ends."
For more than three hundred years, Friends have acted upon shared concerns through practices which historically have been distinctive and definitive. While the specifics of Friends' practice have varied as times have changed, Friends today continue to have concerns and underlying beliefs similar to those of past generations. The word testimonies is used to refer to this common set of deeply held, historically rooted attitudes and modes of living in the world.
Testimonies bear witness to the truth as Friends in community perceives it—truth is known through relationship with God. The testimonies are expressions of lives turned toward the Light, outward expressions reflective of the inward experience of divine leading, differently described by various Friends and in changing eras. Often in the past, they were defined specifically, such as the testimony against taking oaths; recently it has become customary to speak of them more generally, as in the testimony of simplicity. Through the testimonies, with that measure of the Light that is granted, Friends strive for unity and integrity of inner and outer life, both in living with ourselves and others and in living in the world.
Our own history, however, demonstrates that our discernment has not always been complete: we have not always been united in our perceptions of what obedience to the Spirit requires, and we have fallen into conflict and misunderstanding even among ourselves. Yet out of such conflicts, painful as they have been, have come greater clarity of commitment and unity in witness.

text: geek-accountant 5 Posted February 23, 2011 So why unRAID versus RAID 5? For me, speed is not a major concern. Yea I need enough to stream movies around the network, sometimes more than 1 at a time, but for me getting every last bit of speed possible is not a real issue and not something that is going to make a real difference day in and day out. Sure large file transfers may take a bit longer, but how often am I sitting there waiting for the transfer to complete with noting else to do? So the real issue for me was efficient protection (ie, parity drive), ability to use varying sized drives, easy expansion, ability to remove drive and read data from another system if ever needed, array not destroyed by multiple drive failures. Does this feature set sound familiar? RAID 5 meets some of these but fails on others. unRAID meets all of these. So it was an easy decision and actually one I made prior to learning about DE being removed from WHS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been in love with medicine and the science of healing since I was a young girl. After graduating from McQueen High School, in Reno, NV I started college with the intent to enter into the medical field, but not quite sure in what department. Having always been intrigued by the human body and its amazing ability to heal itself I knew I wanted a career with a balance of western medicine and eastern paradigm.
I received my advanced associates in science from Truckee Meadows Community College and went on to continue my education in Massage Therapy. I moved to Denver to attend the Massage Therapy Program through the Denver School of Massage Therapy. After graduating from UCMT Denver I attended the UCMT Masters Program in Salt Lake City, UT.
Once my education was complete I couldn't wait to come back home to Reno and start my own practice. Being certified in numerous modalities ranging from structural/injury baselines to more specified modalities such as pregnancy and infant/child massage provides me the opportunity to work on a vast spectrum of clientele. I am passionate about my work and its profound effect on the body, immediate and life long.
