For my cousin's wedding I made paper cones; I got the idea and pattern online.
Using heavy card stock I cut out the cone and decorated it with a paper doily. I folded and glued the cone.
Hint: Score the paper before folding, it gives you a sharper edge.
Punch holes in two of the top sections of the cone and attach ribbon. I used curling ribbon.
Then, I printed business cards with the couple's name and wedding date and attached it to the cone.
The third top section of the cone is folded down after you fill the cone. We used kisses.

'In my opinion, investors' expectations about future returns on their assets are far too optimistic. In a world that currently hardly grows investors will need to reduce their future return expectations.
'I believe 2013 will not be a favorable year for holders of assets. My priority has now shifted to the preservation of the outsized gains I have achieved over the last three years.' - in CNBC

Spoilers Ahead
"You Smell Like Dinner" gives a good sense of where Season 4 is going, and that mostly seems to be along the lines of the books (or at least one of them, which fortunately happens to be my favourite one of the series, Dead to the World). And what isn't from the books seems equally promising. Oh yes, this is going to be a good season.
We start off finding out the fate of Jason after he was locked into a chest freezer last episode. He wakes up tied to a bed, guarded by a couple of the kids who put him in the freezer in the first place. Just as he convinces them to help him escape who should storm in but Felton, last seen making off with Jason's beloved Crystal and a ton of V. He's not too happy to see Jason again and it isn't long before Jason--still helpless--is staring down the barrel of a shotgun. Maybe provoking Felton wasn't the brightest idea.
Meanwhile Sookie tries hard to get rid of Eric, who insists she needs to accept that she belongs to him. He doesn't skimp on arguments: she needs protection, he cares about her, he could take her blood anytime he wants but he isn't because he wants her to choose to be his.... Nothing proves convincing. He finally leaves but, of course, he'll be back.
While Eric is busy with Sookie, the rest of the vampires at Fangtasia are dealing with ongoing protests outside by post-Russell anti-vampire fanatics. The vampires are careful to leave the protesters alone (particularly since they come equipped with recording devices) but when one of them calls Hoyt a fangbanger and continues to insult him it's pretty much inevitable a fight is going to break out. Frustrated, Pam and Jessica can only stand by and watch.
Bill is discussing with witch Katerina what happened at the coven. He tells her it's time to get out (she was infiltrating the coven for him) right before he brings her into his bed. Bill sleeping with someone else saddens me. He really did give up on Sookie while she was trapped in the fairy realm, but even now that he knows she's alive he continues to help himself to someone else. So much for Sookie being the love of his life (yes, yes, I know sex and love are not the same thing but if you love someone and want to win them back I don't think sleeping with another person is going to help your cause or prove your sincerity).
I think Bill agrees with me because when Sookie shows up to ask him for help with Eric he looks somewhat abashed as Sookie sees what he's been up to. She's also trying to come to grips with the unexpected news that Bill is king. But king or not he can't do anything about her Eric problem. He gives her the somewhat lame excuse that Eric has friends in high places but promises he'll try to help. Meanwhile he suggests Sookie take refuge with another human. Sookie is less than impressed. She's also a little mean when she asks Bill how he became king and then tells him to forget it--every time she ever found out anything new about him she ended up wishing she hadn't. Sookie's got a mean streak in the books too, which makes me wonder how she can be so judgmental about the vampires and other non-human creatures. She might try to be all sunshine and Southern charm but inside she's just as much a monster as any of the creatures she scorns.
But her question does prompt a flashback, taking us to 1982 London and Bill's stint as a punk. I have to say that punk does not work for Bill unlike, say, Buffy's Spike.
Bill Compton (top) and William the Bloody
For one thing, a leather jacket and spiky hair do not a punk make. For another, Bill just isn't believable as a punk--unlike Spike who fits the persona perfectly (you can totally believe that Billy Idol copied his look rather than the other way around). Lastly--and weirdly--even though Stephen Moyer is English, Bill's English accent seems forced and somewhat fake. Not sure how American James Marsters beat the Brit in terms of accent but it might be best if True Blood avoids any more flashbacks to the 1970s or 80s.
Anyway, back to the scene itself--we find out that Nan Flanagan has been watching Bill for a while and appreciates that he doesn't kill his victims. She tells him a group of vampire scientists (including Louis Pasteur) are working on a blood substitute that would allow vampires to come out to the world and mainstream. Since there's no way the kings and queens will support coming out, Nan recruits Bill to infiltrate the Louisiana monarchy and plant the seeds of dischord from within (other vampires are doing the same elsewhere).
Back to the present, Sam seems to be in a better mood this week. This could be due to his burgeoning romance with shifter Luna or to a new commitment with Tommy to try to trust each other and be brothers again. Luna is an intriguing character. She's part Navajo and she tells Sam and the other shifters in their group that she grew up hearing stories of "skinwalkers," basically shifters who can turn into other people. According to legend shifters can only accomplish this if they kill another member of their family who is also a shifter. As it happens, Luna's mom died having her so she's got this rare ability. We haven't seen her use it yet but this could get interesting.
Sookie finally meets Arlene's devil baby and makes the mistake of saying the baby has an old soul. Of course Arlene flips out. Later when she's looking at the baby and a blood vessel bursts in her eye she really gets her crazy on. Who would have thought Terry would be the voice of reason and sanity?
When Sookie returns home she hallucinates a pack of fairies attacking her. Instead it turns out to be Tara. At first I thought it might be a fairy in Tara form but I'm fairly positive it actually is Tara, who apparently does care, after all (it seems she just doesn't want her girlfriend to know anything about her). As they enter Sookie's house, Sookie finds gifts from Eric, a carafe of blood in the fridge, and (my personal favourite) an armoire that hides a sleeping spot for a vampire. Sookie's enraged but I think it's funny. You've got to admit Eric's got style.
It's interesting to see Eric clash with Bill now that Bill is his superior. After a cursory attempt at getting Eric to give back Sookie's house or sell it to him (Eric won't), Bill tells Eric about the new coven in town. Eric couldn't care less until Bill mentions that the witches happen to be necromancers. Their magics control the dead, which is bad news for vampires everywhere. Eric says he'll go to the coven that night.
At this point we're treated to another flashback, this time going back to Bill's big fight with Sophie-Anne. It's clear she's going to wipe the floor with Bill--until his backup arrives equipped with guns loaded with wooden bullets. They execute Sophie-Anne and a moment later Nan Flanagan walks in and makes him king. So Bill doesn't have any special vampire abilities; he's just aligned with strong vampires. That's kind of disappointing. It looks like Bill is spending his eternal life being someone else's puppet. At least he has sense enough not to tell Nan about Sookie's fairy lineage.
Jessica and Hoyt are not doing so well, despite Hoyt's public declaration of love (maybe with a hint of protesting too much) outside Fangtasia. The next night Jessica gets offended at Hoyt's refusal to take her blood (he looks at it as a drug not a healing agent) and leaves in a huff. She's supposed to be going to the drugstore but instead heads to Fangtasia where she finds herself a tasty treat. Sookie walks in on Jessica (after visiting Pam and trying unsuccessfully to get her help with the Eric situation). Sookie tries talking to Jessica but Jess is having none of it. She tells Sookie off for hurting Bill and then turns her back on her. Wow--sucks to be Sookie.
Not as much as it sucks to be Jason, though. Just when Andy shows up in Hotshot and it looks like Jason might be catching a break, Crystal slithers into the room. She claims that Felton's got her hooked on V and that she's found a way for her and Jason to be together forever. Then she gags him so he can't call out to Andy. WTF? If Andy wasn't so messed up by V himself he might have noticed something was amiss. Instead he leaves when he's given a vial of vampire blood after Felton recognizes Andy's symptoms as a user. Once Andy is gone, Crystal and Felton return to Jason and inform him they're going to make a baby. Ew. As it happens it's Crystal's duty to propagate the species, but it just doesn't seem to be working out with half-brother/betrothed Felton (EW). So she'll use Jason and his fresh DNA to make a baby, thereby allowing them to be together forever. The catch is that to make sure they have a panther baby they've got to make Jason a panther. Which involves them shifting and biting Jason repeatedly. Okay, then. (By the way, how is it such sickly, inbred people turn into gorgeous, healthy-looking panthers?)
As for the coven, Jesus and Lafayette are having some disagreements about the nature of the resurrection spell. Lafayette is freaked but Jesus thought it was cool. He also refuses to believe there's such a thing as black magic, arguing that magic is good or evil depending entirely on the practitioner. It seems the argument is good enough for Lafayette because he and Jesus (and Tara) are back at the coven that night. This time leader Marni wants to bring a (human) body back to life. Some of the witches are horrified but some are all for it.
Suddenly Eric shows up. He offers Marni a deal that would disband the coven but also spare them. She refuses. He grabs her and bites. The other coven members start chanting. Tara tries sneaking up on Eric and he releases Marni in order to grab her. Marni starts chanting now. Within minutes Eric is frozen in place, looking shocked. His fangs retract and then he runs. Marni snaps out of her trance, unaware of what she's done. Witches--nothing but trouble.
The episode ends with Sookie driving home. Suddenly she sees Eric walking along the side of the road, shirtless (I know when I've been bewitched the first thing I want to do is start stripping!) As Sookie stops the car and starts talking to Eric it's obvious something is wrong. He seems dazed, possibly a little frightened, and he has no idea who Sookie is. But he does wonder why she smells so good.
It's the Eric amnesia storyline! And there was much rejoicing! If nothing else it should be a hell of a lot of fun watching Sookie and Eric "interact" this season. Here's to hot Vikings and reluctant fairies...
Fang Files
Appearance: Pale humans with red-rimmed eyes and long snakelike fangs that descend or retract at will.
Strengths: Super speed and strength. Ability to glamour (hypnotize) humans. Vampire blood can heal wounds. Some vampires can levitate or fly.
Weaknesses: Wooden bullets, stakes, silver, magic.
Mythology: Vampire blood (V) is a potent, addictive, and highly illegal drug with unpredictable effects. Not every vampire supported coming out to humans--many would have preferred to continue living in secret. Vampire society is strictly hierarchical. Vampires have an incredibly strong bond with their makers.
Sound Bites
Sookie: You bought my house. The house does not come with me inside it.
Eric: Well, then I seriously overpaid.
Pam: Technology's taking all the fun out of being a vampire.
Sookie: [re: Eric] Psychopathic frat boy.
Nan Flanagan: [to Bill] You'd better not be lying to me. She [Sophie-Anne] did and look what happened to her.
Pam: [to Sookie] With what you are, Fairy Princess, you need to be somebody's or you won't be at all.
True Blood, Season 4 Episode 2 "You Smell Like Dinner." Written by Brian Buckner. Directed by Scott Winant. From HBO.

Five feet and 9 inches is the equivalent of 69 inches. Since there are 12 inches to each foot, one can multiply 5 feet times 12 inches and calculate that the answer is 60. Sixty inches plus 9 inches equals 69 inches.
Five feet and 9 inches is also the equivalent of 1.75 meters, 175 centimeters, 1,752 millimeters or 1.9 yards. Any conversion can be done easily by multiplication to find an approximate answer. Simply multiply the amount to be converted by the given ratio, which can be found on a conversion table. For instance, to find 5 feet 9 inches or 69 inches in millimeters, multiply the 69 inches by the ratio of 25.4 to find that the answer equals 1,752 in millimeters.

Theresa May warns Chinese visa plan poses 'security threat'
The UK's home secretary has expressed concerns about plans to make it easier for Chinese tourists to get visas.
Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt had called for the system to be simplified to help "turbocharge" tourism in the wake of the London 2012 Olympics.
But a letter seen by the Daily Telegraph suggests Theresa May believes it would pose a security threat.
The letter, written by Mrs May's private secretary, says she believes the plan is "unacceptable".
On Tuesday, Mr Hunt set out a strategy to give UK tourism a boost following London's Games and said ministers were looking at simplifying visa applications for non-EU nationals.
'Chinese criminals'
The strategy focused on attracting visitors from China, where the government thinks there is potential to triple the number of tourists - generating more than £500m in extra spending and creating more than 14,000 jobs.
Currently, visitors can apply for a single visa to visit much of Europe - but a separate one is required to travel to the UK.
Countries such as France and Germany are far more successful at attracting Chinese visitors, and the UK could do better if getting a visa was easier, Mr Hunt has suggested.
But a letter from Mrs May's private secretary to the prime minister's private secretary said the current rules were a "key tool in protecting the public against significant harm".
There are already 400 Chinese criminals awaiting deportation and 1,000 asylum applications from Chinese citizens last year, it said.
"The proposal... is not acceptable to the home secretary for national security reasons," the letter said.
"We also face significant challenges with foreign national offenders and organised crime, including drugs, money laundering, fraud, criminal finances, intellectual property, immigration and cyber crime."
But Mark Tanzer, chief executive of the Association of British Travel Agents (Abta), said: "In the absence of concrete data about visa abuse, it is impossible to determine whether the right balance is being struck between the UK's commercial interests and its security needs."
He argued that "proper visa monitoring and reporting processes" were needed, and any abuses of the system could be addressed as they arose.
"We must not forget that visas are only one of the factors that deter Chinese tourists from visiting us - lack of air routes and high aviation taxes also depress demand," he added.
Mr Tanzer has previously said his organisation "welcomed" Mr Hunt's position as "a step in the right direction".
Nobel prize winners
Meanwhile, Immigration Minister Damian Green told that a visa scheme had failed to attract as many of the most talented artists, musicians and scientists to come and work in the UK as the government had hoped.
"We offer a thousand visas a year for the exceptionally talented," Mr Green said.
"In its first year in operation it came nowhere near using them all.
"That tells me we need to fine tune the system to make sure that around the world, if you are a bright young artist or a gifted young scientist, you know there is this route to come and work in Britain. We need to do better on that."
The minister added: "If you are a current Nobel Prize winner, you won't find it very difficult to get into this country.
"But we want the next generation of Nobel Prize winners, so we have carved out a specific route in the immigration system."

Berrimah Hill is also a sprint section, but the bunch regroup after the hill with an opportunity for water at the corner of Beaton Rd and Hidden Valley Rd.
Note for Palmerston riders: There is a usually a small group leaving at 5:10 am from the 'Palmerston Cycling Clubhouse' (Corner of University and Roystonea Aves - opposite Bunnings) to join the 6 am bunch from the Nightcliff Pool.

Nightcliff Pool - Café Central Ride
6:30 am start from Nightcliff Pool, finish at Café Central, Rossiter St, Rapid Creek @ 8:15 - 9:00
This has a bunch of about 10-20 riders but there's a fair spread in fitness and ability levels. It sometimes splits up into 2 or 3 smaller groups, depending on numbers and rider abilities. The main groups cover about 65 km at 32-34 kph. They sometimes regroup at Crocodylus with routine regrouping after Berrimah hill at the corner of Beaton and College Rds and at the end of Bishop St. They go hard at times with sprints along Tiger Brennan Drv, through Winnellie and along Bagot Rd past Jape.
*** Note: This is not a Darwin Cycling Club ride ***
Sunday Rides
Various start locations
6:30 am Cool Spot, Fannie Bay: This has almost stopped during the current Wet Season but may start up again once the Dry comes. When it was running, it usually had 5 to 10 riders and became a fast group ride over 65-80 km, averaging around 35 kph. Finish is at Café Central.
6 am Kimmorley Bridge on McMillans Rd (near Charles Eaton Drv): Usually around 5 to 10 riders. Around 50 km, averaging around 30 kph. Finish is at Café Central.

Sant'Omobono is a 16th century guild church, located on the Vico Jugario in the rione Ripa. It is a familar landmark to the east of the Via Petrosa, looming over the excavated ancient ruins of the Area Sacra di Sant'Omobono, but its civic profile is limited. Pictures of the church on Wikimedia Commons are here. There is an English Wikipedia page here.
The dedication is to St Homobonus of Cremona, patron of tailors.
Ancient timesEdit
In the days of the Roman Empire the site was occupied by the twin temples of Mater Matuta and Fortuna, and it is considered that the present church occupies the site of the former. The early date of this sacred site, about the mid 6th century BC, means that it was already half a millennium old when the Empire was founded.
San SalvatoreEdit
The church's foundation and early history are completely obscure, although a 6th century origin is surmised (on no evidence).
The first documentary reference is in the early 12th century Mirabilia Urbis Romae, where it is described as a dependency on Santi Sergio e Bacco al Foro Romano with the name Sancti Salvatoris de Statera or "Holy Saviour of the Weighing-Scales". The odd name was taken to refer to the payment of soldiers, hence the concocted name of San Salvatore in Aerario is found. It is also referred to as San Salvatore in Portico.
About 1200 there was a restoration which included the laying of a Cosmatesque floor.
It was rebuilt in 1482, the architect being Lorenzo Lini and the benefactor one Stefano Satro de Baronilis, who was the superintendent of the hospital of Santa Maria in Portico (later Santa Galla Antiqua) and whose tomb is in the church.
In 1575 it was granted to the Università dei Sarti, the guild of tailors. They had it rebuilt again and rededicated it to their patron saint, and have remained in possession ever since.
The church had two very narrow escapes in the 1930's. The present Area Sacra is the result of initial demolitions to make way for another enormous Fascist office block like the one on the site of Santa Maria Antiqua, and the plan for this involved the demolition of the church, too. However, the archeology revealed in the initial phase of the scheme was of such importance that further work was cancelled. Then, the archaeologists wished to demolish the church to reveal the remains of the twin temples below it. More enlightened views prevailed, and the church was restored in 1940.
It is again showing obvious signs of dilapidation.
Layout and fabricEdit
There is an unaisled rectangular nave with a pitched and tiled roof, and a presbyterium forming a four-sided apse with the walls slightly lower than those of the nave. The diagonal walls of the apse have a large rectangular window each
The exterior walls are in brick, now stripped of its render.
On top of the apse is a small dome with a drum rendered in orange-pink, the dome itself being a tiled segment of a sphere with eight ribs in tile. The drum has five buttresses, rising from the corners of the apse, and unusually these are also tiled. To the sides of the drum are two oculi or round windows, and there is another one at the back inset in a rectangular frame with a slightly curved top.
The church is raised above the level of the street on a crypt, and so is approached via two flights of transverse stairs. The balustrading of these and of the little landing in front of the entrance has vanished and been replaced by ugly steel bars. To the right side, facing the ruins, is an open loggia running along the nave with four brick arches and one at either end. These lack imposts.
There used to be remains of a Romanesque campanile to the right of the façade, but these were lost in the excavations.
The dignified but now scruffy façade is in brick with architectural details in travertine. Four gigantic Doric pilasters in brick rise from a pair of high plinths which reach halfway up the entrance doorway. These pilasters support an entablature with a crowning triangular pediment, and on the tympanum of the latter are decayed remnants of a fresco. The frieze of the entablature bears a dedicatory inscription, but the dirt makes this difficult to read. It says:
In Hon[orem] B[eatae] Mariae V[irginis] ac S[anctorum] Homoboni et Antonii Pad[uensis].
Over the doorway is a raised triangular pediment supported by double volutes, and above this is a large oculus or round window enclosed in a square Baroque frame with the corners delineated. The four spaces between the window and the angles of the square are filled with winged putto's heads, the square is supported by two dumpy Doric pilasters and is embellished on the sides with a pair of little volutes with tassels. The doorway is flanked by a pair of large empty round-headed niches with oversize keystones, and above these are two square windows with frames in the same style as the oculus. The capitals of each pair of gigantic pilasters are connected by swags.
The single nave has four bays, and is followed by a longitudinal rectangular apse. Behind the apse used to be a little private oratory for the tailors' guild, but that has been demolished.
The nave ceiling has a fresco depicting The Coronation of Our Lady in Heaven by Cesare Mariani, 1877. It shows the two patrons of the guild, SS Homobonus and Anthony of Padua, in attendance.
The high altar is against the back wall of the apse, and has a Renaissance aedicule featuring a triangular pediment with its corners substantially brought forward. These rest on a pair of strap corbels, themselves on thin blind pilasters framing the large altarpiece. The latter is an early 16th century painting by Pietro Turini. It has two registers, the upper showing Christ enthroned in majesty with angels and the lower, the Madonna and Child with the two patrons.
Other artworksEdit
The description is anticlockwise from the entrance.
To the right of the entrance is a monument to Lorenzo Lino 1615, and an altar dedicated to the Crucifixion.
The second altar to the right is dedicated to St Anthony of Padua, with an anonymous 18th century altarpiece. The sacristy door has a lunette over it featuring Adam and Eve.
The third arch on the left in the nave contains a very good memorial to Stefano Satro de Baronilis, dating to the end of the 15th century and with a bas-relief of three portrait busts. This work has been attributed to Luigi Capponi in the past. In the lunette above is a charming depiction of God the Father as a tailor, clothing Adam in a fur-trimmed cloak after expelling him and Eve from the Garden of Eden.
The second altar to the left has another anonymous 18th century picture, of The Prodigal Son. The first altar is dedicated to St Homobonus, and the altarpiece showing him giving clothes to poor people is by Giacomo Antonio Galli, Il Spadarino.
To the left of the entrance is a memorial to Andrea de Alessandris, a Venetian, of 1598 and a 17th century monument with a portrait but no epitaph.
This church has rarely been found open, and is now "closed awaiting repair". This state of affairs has persisted for about five years (2018).
At the start of this century, it was open for Mass at 11:00 on the first Sunday of the month, and was also part of the Centro storico marriage circuit. It is now presumably inaccessible until restored, whenever that may be.
There is still a priest appointed to this church, and his details are on the Diocean web-page (link below).

Illegal Immigrants
Find my blogs dated 5/01/07, 6/22/07 and 6/30/07 on my laments as to what our politicians and others are doing to this country.
You may use this blog to add to, refute, pass on or make recommendations.
Subject: Very Interesting Facts
From a California school teacher - - -
'As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:
I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic
and income levels.
Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.
Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. ( OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK )
I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less then 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them 'Putas' whores and throwing things that the teachers were in tears.
Free medical, free education, free food, day care
etc., etc, etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements ?
To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.
Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.
We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return?
It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses
to assimilate , and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about ' politicalcorrectness' that we don't have the will to do anything about it.
If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know.
CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?
Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage.
Consumers don't want expensive produce.
Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.
But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase 'cheap labor' is a myth , a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as 'cheap labor.'
Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for
$5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an 'earned income credit' of up to $3,200 free.
He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for food stamps.
He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts and lunches
at school.
He requires bilingual teachers and books.
He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.
If they are o r become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense
He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material. He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/h our in benefits.
Working Americans
are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills and his.
The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.
Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people!

If those who can't speak English are given free lessons in school, why are those who want to learn Spanish forced to pay for after school classes...at least in the upper Fox River Valley?
- Tuesday, November 27, 2007 10:21:00 PM
When my children went to school they were required to learn a foreign language. French, Spanish or Latin and it was included in their cirriculum and there was no extra charge for it.
If we hire American workers to do the jobs the "cheap labor" is doing those workers will pay taxes and keep the money here in the United States and not send it back home to be used tax free. There is no such thing as "cheap labor". Its a myth that employers have made up to help them keep their costs down, or so they think. They don't realize that the taxes they pay are making up the difference of what they don't pay their workers. WAKE UP.
Also, if you want to be an American and don't want to be labeled as different then why do you call yourselves Latin-Americans, or African-Americans? That obviously sets you apart and you did it to yourselves.

I find it hard to believe that a substantial number of undocumented aliens can produce the documentation to qualify for all those government programs. Income tax return? Section 8 housing?
I don't know that it's not true, but I'm skeptical. These are means-tested programs. It wouldn't be too hard for them to check citizenship. I call BS on this one.
Snopes lists this urban legend as "Undetermined":

The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania ruled on December 26, 2000 that the Pennsylvania law prohibiting convicted felons from registering to vote for five years after their release from prison is unconstitutional. Consequently, if completing an older version of the Voter Registration Mail Application (VRMA) form, a convicted felon who has been released from prison may make application to register to vote by striking through the felony conviction line at Section 9(2) on the VRMA and signing his or her name.
Convicted felons who are incarcerated on the date of a primary or general election are not eligible to vote, regardless of whether they are registered. However, pre-trial detainees and misdemeanants are eligible to register to vote and/or to vote by absentee ballot if they otherwise qualify to vote under law.

Recently I went of a trip and had some of the best salsa I've ever had. So when I heard about the Publix Flavor Excursion sale I thought I would try my hand at making this yummy salsa. I was super excited to find lots of items I normally buy on sale and even buy 1 get 1 free. This recipe is super easy to make and I promise you will LOVE it.
Sweet Lime Chunky Salsa
- 1/2 can of Ro*Tel Mild Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, drained
- 1 contained of Tomato Trinty
- 1 – 8oz. can of Pineapple Tidbits, drained & chopped into smaller pieces
- Juice of half a lime
- 1 Alvacado, chopped
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- In a medium size bowl add the tomato trinity.
- Open and drain the Ro*Tel Mild Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies. Put half of the can into the bowl with the tomato trinity.
- Open pineapple tidbits and drain. Using kitchen sheers chop them up into little pieces inside the can. Next pour into same bowl.
- Slice open Alvacado and chop into small pieces. Add to the bowl.
- Next cut lime open and squeeze juice of half of lime over the mixture in the bowl.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, Stir all ingredients together.

The two featured Publix Flavor Excursion items are Ro*Tel Mild Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies and Alvacados from Mexico. Ro*tel still holds firmly to the belief that quality is paramount in making a great tasting product. That's why only the reddest, ripest tomatoes and the zestiest chilies make the final cut. They have the perfect blend of spices that make this salsa delicious.
Is there a fruit more versatile than the avocado? You can slice it, dice it, smash it, or serve it whole. It tastes great at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or as a satisfying snack any time of day. And the best part is, you get the same nutritional boost whether you serve it on a sandwich, mix it into a dip, blend it into a smoothie, or eat it all by itself.

9/11 Critical Mass?
ABC covered the 'Treason in America' conference but focused on the Loose Change boys who are not exactly the most likely to convince main stream Americans.
Jesse Ventura is all over the tube from The View to Larry King promoting his new book and while it's hard to not like what he says, it's still Jesse and he's too often seen as a marginal figure.
The Washington Times did have a fair but very short article that quoted Richard Gage on the demolitions of WTC 1,2 & 7 but I think it was only online and not in the print edition.
Of course there is never an Israeli 9/11connection mentioned in the MSM even as speculation. That's totally off limits since Fox and Carl Cameron ran the Mossad spy ring story in Nov. 2001 and were chastised by their handlers and had to 'pull it.'
Then there's Russia Today. Hardly a day goes by without without a feature on 9/11 from them. But having very limited US over the air broadcasts and cable or satellite outlets, their reach is mostly via youtube videos. Just having the name Russia doesn't encourage many American fence sitters to seek out their news that our bought and fixed MSM won't touch. It has even been thought that RT may play a part in the controlled opposition so even as we cheer on their reporting there's still questions concerning what their ultimate agenda may be.
One thing those tasked with the continuing cover up of 9/11 don't want to see are civilian trials. Those could prove to possibly be too enlightening. Don't expect the bogus 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to ever see the inside of a civilian court.
Today there's the announcement of a 'deal' with ground zero workers in a victim's compensation settlement for their illnesses. Hush money? It's very convenient that most likely there will be no trials.
Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein does his job once again in the cover up.
The Glenn Beck - Debra Medina episode effectively derailed Medina's Texas gubernatorial race. She most likely would not have won in the diebold voting world of Texas and ziocon Rick Perry but it has caused a rift in the constitutional freedom movement that continues to today. Examples can be continuously found at the Daily Paul. Are 'truthers' hurting the cause? Should they shut up and go elsewhere and just let politicians go on with the 'boxcutter' conspiracy theory in the face of overwhelming evidence and don't give the media whores ammunition.? Divide and conquer is a time tested technique.
So where does this lead us? Is 9/11 truth destined to be like the JFK assassination where most everyone knows the official story was a lie but it doesn't matter? Where the government and media win the cover up wars and we're all dead before the truth may finally be known, if ever?
Or is there a plan to slowly allow the truth to become known even to the most 'head in the sand' Americans who are scared of the facts? And to what purpose? The collapse of the US and a solution imposed that may involve something along the lines of a world government to keep this from ever happening again?
9/11 truth is not going away. We'll just have to wait and see how it all falls out but the more we know and see how we are being manipulated, the better our chances are to survive.

Das Radio said 95% of those in the ground zero first responders lawsuit must agree on the amount. JFK & 911 Hmmm...what if the same shadowy creeps are behind both? As for Ron Paul they will marginalize him and his followers like they did in '08. It doesn't matter how much what he is saying makes sense or how good his policies would be for the country.ReplyDelete
"The collapse of the US and a solution imposed that may involve something along the lines of a world government to keep this from ever happening again?" That has been my theory for several years. Of course it will be critical to keep the Zionist involvement quiet but just think how far it would go to destroy the "republicans" forever and advance the NWO agenda. You just can't trust those "conservatives" to look out for your best interests, 9/11 is what happens when you allow nations to maintain sovereignty dontcha know?ReplyDelete

Sorry Saladin,but the Democrats had alot to do with the planning and funding of the 911 attacks. Bill Clinton in 1996 received a demanding propsal by Israel Firsters for such an attack. Look at the picture--no way in 8 months Bush could have authorized and Israel planted that much explosives and had written the Patriot act. the two operatives that made it possable were Cheney and Rudy Jiulani and the coverup byReplyDelete

These people are running scared. The inevitable waking-up of people all over the world is going viral, as more and more are figuring out that the 9/11 story is a flat-out lie. And there's only reason they would lie, and that's to cover up their own involvement.ReplyDelete
If they had pulled this off at the time of Pearl Harbor, before TV and the Internet, they might have gotten completely away with it (even though they certainly seem to have done so up to now). But the toothpaste ain't goin' back in the tube, bubba.
The fact that one of Osama Blackbush's buddies wants to have intelligence assets infiltrate Truth movements/meetings/conferences tells you all you need to know.
If these people were simply kooks, and they weren't exposing the government's lies, why would they need to infiltrate them and try to set them up? Why couldn't they just confront their evidence and refute it with their own? Well . . .
The fact is that in the 8-1/2 years since these attacks, every single time that anybody has either asked or demanded that they show PROOF of what they claim happened, it's always been one of two responses:
1) "Sorry, can't tell you anything. NATIONAL SECURITY."
or . . .
2) "Hey, we told you what happened. Get back in line, shut up, and don't ask us for any proof of what we say, or you're aiding the enemy."
Right. Sure. They've used these accusations to trash the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Habeas Corpus, imprison people without charges or trial while torturing them, bankrupt the Treasury, inaugurate endless wars of aggression, etc., etc., ad nauseam, but they can't prove anything that they claim.
Oh. Sorry. What was I thinking?
These murdering bastards are shitting their pants right now, I can assure you. However, the question becomes what these rats are going to do when they are completely cornered.
Stay tuned . . .
I think the gov/media will continue the cover up for as long as they can.ReplyDelete
Just a few moments ago, our local neocon radio station WTN had ABC Perspectives with the treason conference report. Not a word on any evidence, just quick sound bytes. They used a Ventura clip in his best WWF voice. Not exactly likely to get that station's regular listeners interested in learning more.
When the View or Larry King has on Richard Gage or David Ray Griffin, we'll know something more is going on but I don't see it happening anytime soon.
anon, no doubt 9/11 was in the works before Bush took office. Much of the missing pentagon $trillions was under Clinton.
I can't speak for Saladin but I don't think she was inferring that it was only a repub/neocon operation.
anon 2, yep they're all worried and somewhere, sometime a cornered rat is going to talk if they are all not eliminated first.
No one will break the silence and expose the treason of 9/11 - Easy answer is that the US op provided the cover while the CIA's cousin, MOSSAD brought the thermite from Dimona - Same explanation for the Oklahoma Bombs, some unexploded as watched live during their removal from the building straight to the memory hole - The recovered interior military grade explosives were never mentioned by the Press again - Who is the world's biggest cheerleader for hate and war? ...Shoot the Press First!ReplyDelete

Potential witnesses should start making "life-assurance" home videos and stashing them with friends and relatives with the instruction to release them if they suffer from an untimely 'suicide'. Then spread the word to those concerned that you have made a information sharing video.ReplyDelete

Sounds a bit optimistic. Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth were ignored by the msm. On 3/17, TvNewsLIES Radio will have a guest from Firefighters for 9/11 Truth. They've interviewed Michael Rupport and will have David Ray Griffin in two weeks. So many have openly presented the evidence that has been uncovered, yet the left itself has been the major gatekeeper. Check out 9/11 FACTS on Google. So much there, so little known.ReplyDelete

The only way for the truth to come out is if prominent and ordinary truthers run for US Congress. I used to be a Democrat, but dont trust any of them, so the best way is to run as Independents. Campaings will not be expensive because everything could be done on the Internet.ReplyDelete
The plattform could be a real 9-11 investigation, end the Fed, end the IRS, end the CIA, balance the budget, stop all financial aid, which includes Israel and all military aid which includes Colombia, etc.
Very good compilation at your site Jeff.ReplyDelete
Independent...sounds good.ReplyDelete
You're right Kenny, I wasn't inferring any such thing. But since bushco was in charge at the time, and considering the fake left/right paradigm that reigns, it would be easy to blame the right and most people wouldn't even blink. I have no doubt that this planning went way back pre-clinton, who really knows when it started, but all those that make it to the oval office know exactly whats going on, and so are complicit.ReplyDelete

How long they had 9/11 on the drawing board is an interesting line of inquiry.ReplyDelete
When was the first WTC bombing in the basement which set up muslims/arabs in the minds of the TV zombies for future reference? Who was the sock puppet in the White House at that time?
Want to go back further? What year did they begin using muslim/arab patsies as passenger jet hijackers? Once again set up for a TV zombie mind-association years down the road on 9/11.
How many years had the WTC twin towers been a white elephant, impossible to fully rent which explains why the public purse always picked up the tab, stuffed full of poisonous but very fire-retardant asbestos fire proofing (that doesn't get much air time, huh), requiring a fortune in renovations, just sitting there waiting to be a New Pearl Harbor, etc, and then - along comes Lucky Larry . . . and his band of merry little helpers from Dimona.
Slightly off topic, but only slightly - ever see their movie Men In Black? The line Spielberg gave Tommy Lee Jones to say to the obviously White American cops right at the start, says a lot.
How did it go? "You REALLY are the most gullible race."
Don't they love to sneer up their sleeves at us.
The good news is every day which passes brings them one day closer to their final, fatal error.
Oh, and that comment about the inconvenient 9/11 helpers and potential witnesses at future trials may be shitting their pants? Yep. Absolutely.
They should take a real close look at the long list of convenient, untimely corpses which occurred after the same perps who pulled off 9/11, murdered Kennedy in Dallas. I wonder how healthy is the guy who was in WTC 7 with the now late Barry Jennings when the demolition charges started going off inside it.
And another one from the past: Robert Kennedy too, was shaping up to be their worst nightmare - a seemingly honest and incorruptible White American in the White House, who would most likely have had a keen interest in looking into the real story of his brother's murder, among other things. Oy Vey! He had to go, and go he did. Conveniently pinned on a . . . wait for it . . . muslim patsy, in fact a Palestinian muslim patsy, I believe. What a deal!! What chutzpah!
It's a deep rat hole, huh.

A second mayor has now prohibited their city employees from traveling to Indiana using taxpayer money. In Seattle, Mayor Ed Murray has made an announcement that he is stopping the use of city money, to pay for any city employees heading to Indiana. The move is the second in as many days by a mayor to prevent travel based on a bill being called discriminatory in practice.
In San Francisco, Mayor Ed Lee, also made the decision to prohibit the use of taxpayer money to fund travel expenses between the city and the state of Indiana. Lee made the call after the Religious Freedom Bill was signed into law by Governor Mike Pence on Thursday. Many critics of the law are calling it a legalized ability to discriminate, as now businesses can turn customers away on the basis of religious beliefs.
Indiana has truly come under fire since the bill was signed on Thursday morning. Not only have companies and businesses begun making their feelings on the law clear, by pulling business out of the state and stopping planned expansion, but a number of celebrities have also spoken out against the law. Boycotts of the state have started and protestors have already begun getting their voices heard after gathering in the streets of Indianapolis.
Both San Francisco Mayor Lee and Seattle Mayor Murray have called the bill out for being discriminatory and in their statements prohibiting city paid travel to Indiana, the mayors said that their cities were places of tolerance and acceptance. Lee said that his city stood united against discrimination, while Murray spoke about Seattle being a place of equality. In fact, Murray said that there is no place for discrimination within the city of Seattle and that was simply a beginners course in equality.
In Murray's statement on Saturday, he said that he would be signing an executive order in the coming week that would ban any city employees from work-related travel to Indiana. He felt that it was not appropriate to use tax payer money to travel to a place that would openly allow discriminatory practices. Murray also addressed the people of Indiana. He said that his city of Seattle, stood with the people of Indiana, who are out their fighting for equality, hoping to protect the civil rights of all the people living in the state.
Murray even took to Twitter to deliver his message to his followers. In his Tweet to his people, he again expressed that no workers in Seattle would be using taxpayer funds to travel to the state. He called the Religious Freedom Bill discriminatory and even added in #LGBT.
Murray is now the second mayor to prohibit taxpayer funded travel to the state of Indiana, since the Religious Freedoms Bill was signed by Governor Pence on Thursday morning. Since the signing, many have spoken out against the bill and what it allows business owners to do in the name of religion. Some of the people who have spoken out include, Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman, Hilary Clinton, Miley Cyrus, George Takei and other big name individuals.

December 2 - British Swimming chief executive David Sparkes has promised to introduce the changes proposed in the Performance Debrief launched after Britain's disappointing performance at London 2012, even though it found that there was not one major reason behind the failure.
Team GB claimed just three medals in London - two bronzes from Rebecca Adlington and a silver for Michael Jamieson - and there were a number of disappointing performances from swimmers who had been expected to challenge for success as the sport failed to reach the target of five set by Government agency UK Sport.
The panel, chaired by ParalympicsGB Chef de Mission Craig Hunter, an independent member of British Swimming's Board, included Bob Bowman, Michael Phelps' coach, Conor O' Shea, the director of rugby at Harlequins, and Thomas Lurz, who has won bronze and silver medals in open water swimming at Beijing 2008 and London 2012.
The review that been initiated by Michael Scott, British Swimming's performance director, who resigned last week as a result of one of the report;s key recommendations that he should be based permanently in the UK, rather than commuting from his home in Melbourne.
The panel said the new appointment "must be UK based to provide strong and dynamic leadership of the world class programme (WCP) and to work in close consultation with a newly appointed head coach to develop the WCP and fully address the recommendations from the debrief".
American head coach Dennis Pursley, whose contract ended after the Games and who has now returned to the United States, was also criticised after the report highlighted weaknesses in the sport's "technical and coaching leadership".
But, it is clear from the consultation, that no one single factor was responsible for Team GB failing to reach its target London 2012, the panel concluded.
Overall, the report recognised British Swimming has consistently delivered on all of its medal targets for senior team events since the start of the quadrennial cycle up to London 2012.
It cited shortfalls in London as being the exception, not the rule, and as a result the primary focus of the report was on the period post the selection trials from March 2012 through to the Games.
"Put simply, the programme is not broken and doesn't require a major overhaul or radical change of direction," said Hunter.
"However, the process has highlighted a number of thematic areas where there were some shortcomings in technical leadership, in delivery, or where systems and processes in place did not function as well as they should, particularly over the final period of the quadrennial cycle.
"It is clear from the consultation completed that no one single factor is responsible for shortfalls in the number of medals won in London but a combination of a number of the thematic issues identified did affect the performance of some athletes."
Among the key recommendations was that that guidelines be put in place to limit swimmers' commercial activities in the run-up to major events.
While the panel found that British Swimming's programme itself was "not broken" it felt that the commercial distractions for individual swimmers "should have been anticipated better" and recommended that guidance should be developed on acceptable levels of commercial and media commitments.
The British Swimming Board considered the Performance Debrief Report at its meeting on Friday (November 30) where discussions focused on the key appointments of a national performance director and head coach, the timing of the national trials in relation to the year's major event.
It is expected that in future the trials will be moved closer to the major event of the year, as happens in the United States.
"Words fail me in expressing our disappointment with the results from the London Olympics," said Sparkes.
"So many people worked so hard in the last four years but we didn't achieve our goals.
"I welcome the conclusion of the Performance Debrief and am grateful to Craig Hunter and his team for the excellent report they have produced together with the clear recommendations they have made.
"The report gives a clear indication the overall structure and strategy within British Swimming is correct, however, we also need to make changes and some significant improvements.
"Both the British Swimming Board and I are committed to implementing these.
"Today we start a worldwide search for a new national performance director and head coach for the programme. It will be this new leadership team's job to drive forward these recommendations and we will look to appoint as quickly as possible."
Sparkes, however, remains clearly unhappy about Scott being effectively forced out by the results of the report.
"I must express my deep disappointment that Michael Scott felt unable to continue as I felt his leadership over the past five years has been truly world class," he said.

One of the best-loved melodies ever written was discovered in Limavady in 1851, when Jane Ross, a local song-collector, heard it being played by a blind fiddler. She did not name him, but he is widely believed to have been a local man, Jimmy McCurry of Myroe, who died penniless in the Limavady Workhouse about sixty years later. Her discovery was published four years later by George Petrie in his Ancient Music of Ireland, and Petrie named it the Londonderry Air, after the county, not the town. The exact origin of the tune is a matter of controversy, and the name of the composer will remain a mystery, but it is chiefly known today as the song Danny Boy. This was written by Fred Weatherly, an Englishman who may never have been to Ireland, yet it has become perhaps the most famous of Irish songs, and also an unofficial anthem for Northern Ireland.
Jimmy Kennedy, who was brought up in Portstewart, was one of the leading popular songwriters of the twentieth century, his best known songs including "Teddy bears' picnic" and "The hokey cokey". One of his most popular songs "Red sails in the sunset" was inspired by yachts sailing at Portstewart. Every year, the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors presents a special award in his memory. He enjoyed considerable success in America. In 1939, two of his songs -"South of the border", and "My prayer", were at number one and two in the American charts. He was inducted posthumously into the American Songwriters Hall of Fame. His last work was the musical Spokesong, in 1980, on which he collaborated with Stewart Parker.
Sam Henry, a local historian, folklore expert and traditional fiddle player, collected folk songs and published over eight hundred of them between the wars in the Coleraine newspaper, the Northern Constitution. He was employed as a pensions officer, and would often collect his tunes by talking to old people he was visiting in his professional capacity. He also advertised for more songs in the newspaper, which gave prizes for published songs. He presented manuscripts to several libraries, but his collection was not published in its entirety until 1990, when its importance was finally recognised.
Denis O' Hampsey, who was born at Craigmore, near Garvagh, in 1695, was one of the last of the great harpers of Ireland. In 1792, he took part in the Belfast Harpers' Festival. Like most of the musicians, he was blind, there being a tradition that blind boys should be taught the harp, as their only way of making a living. He was the oldest harper present, and the only one to perform in the old style with long, crooked fingernails. Almost fifty years earlier, he had played before Bonnie Prince Charlie. He was known as the Harper of Magilligan, where he had settled in his old age. He also taught the organist of St Anne's Parish Church in Belfast, Edward Bunting, who went on to be the greatest collector of Irish traditional airs.
Up to the present time, traditional music is very popular in this area. John Rea of Glenarm (1822-1983), was one of the leading traditional dulcimer players. Dick Glasgow, who runs the Jim McGill School of Traditional Music, played seven instruments on his recording "From a northern shore: traditional music from the Causeway Coast".
This area has proved inspirational for some composers. Charles Villiers Stanford wrote a song-cycle, "Cushendall" and also a song "The fairy lough", inspired by a Moira O'Neill poem, about Loughareema. Hamilton Harty, during a visit to Portballintrae, found inspiration for his tone-poem "The children of Lir".
"The Rinka" was a famous dance hall and social centre situated on Islandmagee and hosted many dances. A few years ago it was turned into a shop.

Franklin Springs, GA – The Lady Lions volleyball team took down North Greenville University today in five sets 3-2.
The first set started off with both teams contending every point and the score being very close. The first set went back and forth but eventually the Lady Lions won the first game 26-24.
In the second set, the Lady Lions and the Bobcats continued to fight for every point just like in the first set with neither team getting the upper hand, but once again the Lady Lions puled through and won the second game 27-25.
The Lady Lions started the third set up 2-0 in games and just needed to win one more to win the match. Unfortunately, the Bobcats came out strong in the third set and found a way to win it 25-23.
Undeterred by this, the Lady Lions continued to roll with their momentum and fight for every play in the fifth set. Right from the start of the fifth set, the Lions displayed their confidence and abilities, which enabled them to win the final set 15-12, to close the match.
Congratulations to the Lions for their win. The Lions will take to the home court on November 4th at 7:00 p.m. to take on King College.

New Homebuyer Tax Credit For Californians
Assembly Bill 183, the Homebuyer Tax Credit legislation has officially been signed into law! AB 183 provides $200 million in tax credits, half of which is allocated toward first time buyers purchasing existing homes and the other half for first time buyers purchasing new or never occupied homes.
Here's the important dates:
One must purchases a home on and after May 1, 2010, and on or before Dec. 31, 2010
One must purchase a home on and after Dec. 31, 2010, and before Aug. 1, 2011, if under contract before Dec. 31, 2010.
How much is the credit?
The credit is the lesser of 5 percent of the purchase price or $10,000, in equal installments over three consecutive years.
Purchasers must live in the home for at least two years or pay back the credit!
There's never been more incentive than now as it is currently possible for buyers to get a total of $18,000 in tax credits if they get into escrow by the end of the month! We'd love to help you make this happen.

I made a Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit USB drive, using that I installed Ubuntu onto the 1 terabyte hdd in the machine, thus erasing my windows 8 installation (I use Ubuntu on all of my computers and have always done this). After it finished installing it told me to reboot, I clicked the button to reboot and it succesfully did that.
The problem is when it is trying to boot up it does not seem to recognize my HDD as a place to boot from, it simply gives me an error stating that there are not valid boot devices. If I place a live USB in there though, it will boot fine off of that. Or if I go into the boot menu, it does not display the HDD as an option to boot from.
If it matters, I have reinstalled it twice now, and the Ubuntu installer did recognize that Ubuntu had been installed.
System Specs:
- AMD 6 core 3.5 ghz processor
- 24 gigabytes of ram (two 8 gb sticks and two 4 gb sticks)
- 1 terabyte HDD
- 128 gigabyte SSD (I was hoping to install Ubuntu on this, but mount /home on my HDD, but by now I just want a computer which boots up :/ )

voice networks
In today's era of shrinking profit margins and market volatility, many companies are looking for ways to pinch every penny. One of the areas that often comes under scrutiny is telecommunications. Even with the price war raging amongst long distance companies, most executives believe that there is still money to be saved on telephony. They are correct! One of the most popular ways to save money is by implementing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony. By using VoIP, companies can save money on long distance and infrastructure, while also realizing a significant increase in employee productivity. While switching to VoIP can be a substantial investment, the return is usually just as substantial. One of the ways to reduce VoIP implementation costs is to purchase equipment and support from an established firm.
Cisco Voice over IP equipment covers the entire range of VoIP applications. As a leader in computer hardware development, Cisco has been developing VoIP equipment since the technology was first invented in the mid 1990s, and Cisco Voice over IP equipment is easily among the world's finest. Cisco offers everything from VoIP telephones to sophisticated switching equipment that connects Cisco Voice over IP equipment with public service telephone networks (PSTN). Cisco offers integrated packages that combine everything a company will need to set up VoIP, and by getting all your equipment from one supplier you will also simplify the task of getting support for your system if and when necessary.
A Cisco Voice over IP telephone is more than just a telephone, even if it looks like a regular telephone. Connected to an Ethernet port, a Cisco Voice over IP phone can serve all of the functions of a regular phone, including voice mail, intercom, and call display. But a Cisco Voice over IP phone can be customized as well, using the Ethernet connection to display Web-based content like e-mail, stock quotes, or telephone listings. Cisco Voice over IP phones can also be used for conferencing, and with the addition of a USB web cam can also be used for videoconferencing. And because these phones are connected via the web rather than with antiquated hardware switching technology, they are completely mobile - if you want to work at another work station or in a conference room, you simply unplug your Cisco Voice over IP phone and take it with you.
Cisco Voice over IP equipment and solutions offer you the peace of mind that comes with dealing with an industry leader, as well as the latest in VoIP technology. Using Cisco Voice over IP equipment can make your company's VoIP system implementation easy!

Announced Android Studio 2.3 – Let's see What's New
Announced #AndroidStudio 2.3, the latest version of its integrated development environment (IDE), with quality improvements and a few new features. You can download the new version for Windows, Mac, and Linux now directly from developer.android.com/studio. If you are already using Android Studio, you can get the latest version in the navigation menu (Help => Check for Update on Windows/Linux and Android Studio => Check for Updates on OS X). The focus for this release is quality improvements across the IDE. It's the highest quality release to date, with a small set of new features including:
- Android studio can now generate WebP images from PNG assets in your project
- Updated ConstraintLayout library support and widget palette in the Layout Editor, including support for Chains and Ratios
- A new App Link Assistant which helps you build and have a consolidated view of your URIs in your app
- Updated run buttons for a more intuitive and reliable Instant Run experience
- Copy and paste text support for the Android Emulator
There are following list of new features which is useful to quality improvements Android Studio 2.3:
- Instant Run improvements: The Run action will now always cause an application restart to reflect changes in your code that may require a restart, the new Apply Changes action will attempt to swap the code while your app keeps running, the underlying implementation is more reliable, and the startup lag for Instant Run enabled apps has been eliminated.
- Build Cache: This feature was introduced but disabled by default in Android Studio 2.2. Now enabled by default, the underlying build optimization results in faster builds by caching exploded AARs and pre-dexed external libraries.
- Chains and Ratios support in Constraint Layout: The stable release of ConstraintLayout means you can now chain two or more Android views bi-directionally together to form a group on one dimension, helpful when you want to place two views close together but want to spread them across empty space. ConstraintLayout also supports ratios, helpful for maintaining the aspect ratio of widgets as the containing layout expands and contracts. Also check out the ConstraintSet APIs.
- Layout Editor Palette: The updated widget palette allows you to search, sort, and filter to find widgets for your layouts, plus gives you a preview of the widget before dragging on to the design surface.
- App Links Assistant: The new assistant (Tools => App Link Assistant) lets you easily create new intent filters for your URLs, declare your app's website association through a Digital Asset Links file, and test your Android App Links support.
- Template Updates: All templates which used to contain RelativeLayout now use ConstraintLayout. A new Bottom Navigation Activity template, which implements the Bottom Navigation Material Design guideline, has also been added.
- IntelliJ Platform Update: IntelliJ 2016.2 release, which has enhancements such as an updated inspection window and a notifications system, is now included.
- Android Emulator Copy & Paste: This feature has been added back to the latest Emulator (v25.3.1). The shared clipboard between the Android Emulator and host operating system will allow you to copy text between both environments.
- Android Emulator Command Line Tools: The emulator has been moved from the SDK Tools folder into a separate emulator directory.
