Introducing Historical Windows of New YorkDec132017
Harman Fensterbau celebrates the addition of another dealership presenting product knowledge and products to the East Coast. Located in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, Historical Windows of New York specializes in landmark properties throughout the New York Metro Area since 1970. Working with the top product manufacturers and an experienced staff of experts, Historical provides their clients with recommendations and solutions to their window and door needs.
Manhattan's economic growth and desire for the high performance, ultra-luxurious make it an attractive location for us to have a presence. Harman Fensterbau will be the pinnacle brand in the high-performance sector of New York City.
The long-standing, family owned business chose to partner with Harman Fensterbau for their, "knowledge and attention to detail coupled with the stellar reputation built by the manufacturer" said William Jacobs, owner of Historical Windows of New York. "Our perspective has been to position on the forefront of market trends and demands. With recent changes in energy code and building envelope requirements, we believe Harman Fensterbau products will be the new standard in windows resulting in a high demand in our marketplace."
Dealership continues to grow with the addition of three North East-based building suppliers and several window and door suppliers.

President Edgar Lungu has assured mining companies operating in Zambia that Government is rapidly addressing their concerns on the new Mineral Royalty Tax.
This is according to a statement released to the media by his assistant for press and public relations Amos Chanda.
According to the statement, President Lungu has made this assurance after completing a series of consultations with individual mine owners and collectively with the Chamber of Mines of Zambia (CMZ). All the meetings with industry representatives took place at State House over the past two weeks.
The Chamber of Mines of Zambia has assured the President they were confident the Government was positively working towards a speedy conclusion of the matters.
The Head of State is therefore concerned with recent reports that owners of Lumwana Mine would put the mine under care and maintenance, a development that would put over 4000 jobs at risk.
President Lungu regrets that Barrick Gold has announced that the 135,000 tonnes per year Lumwana Copper Mine will be placed under care and maintenance by end of February 2015 and noted that no other production cuts have been announced.
The Head of State has assured that Government will not allow a single mining job to be lost and has accordingly directed the Ministry of Mines to ensure that operations at Lumwana Mine are not idled for care and maintenance.
If the investors proceed to idle the mine, one of the measures to be explored will include the identification of a suitable Strategic Technical Partner to team up with ZCCM-IH, the Government's investment arm in the mining sector to assume the operations.
President Lungu has therefore assured Lumwana workers that their jobs are secure and there is no cause for alarm.
The President has noted that the industry outlook is that Zambia together with the Democratic Republic of Congo will remain among the few countries with the potential to increase copper production as well as their market share of global production.
However, following the sharp decline in copper prices at the beginning of 2015, focus is being placed on assessing its likely impact on this optimism on Zambia's role in the copper market and whether this needs to be reassessed.
Since 2000, copper production in Zambia has been increasing reaching a peak of 760,000 tonnes in 2013 before recording a drop to 708,000 tonnes in 2014.
"It should be noted that copper production performed poorly in 2014 even before the new mining tax regime was introduced," the President said.
"With forecast prices of copper of US$6,350/tonne in 2015 and US$7,250/ tonne in 2016, Government expects the majority of the mining companies to continue to operate without major disruptions. Zambia's copper production is likely to close at 900,000 tonnes for 2015, the highest ever levels since 1975," the President said.
Under this environment, Government's priority remains one of engaging the mining industry with a view of mutually developing a fiscal and regulatory regime that provides a "win-win" solution for all.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner-General of the Zambia Revenue Authority, Mr Berlin Msiska, has issued a Gazette Notice to effect amendments to Rule 18 of the VAT Act providing for conditions of zero-rating of exports that usually places the mining companies in an untenable VAT refund position.
The Statutory Instrument was signed on Thursday, 19th February 2015 and published in the Government Gazette on Friday, 20th February 2015.
With regard to the consultations over the new Mineral Royalty Tax regime, the Commissioner-General, at the direction of the Head of State, has opened negotiations with mining companies to explore the relief entitlements within the provisions of the law.
Under the Mines and Minerals Development Act, there is a provision for the Mineral Royalty Deferment Scheme. The Commissioner-General may, on application by a holder of a mining right, defer payment of royalty due from the holder upon meeting set conditions.
So far, a number of mines have applied for consideration under the Deferment Scheme and government wishes to advise mining companies to stay within the law.
The President has assured that the progressive steps that have followed the negotiations will lead to further positive outcomes that should settle the matter in the coming weeks.
Under the chairmanship of President Lungu, the consultations have included the Minister of Finance, Minister of Mines, Minister of Commerce, Minister of Justice, and the Zambia Revenue Authority.

Volvo dash power outlet and dome lights not working
Volvo VNL 730 - 07
The power outlet on the dash and above the windshield has topped working in my truck. Also the interior lights in the front of the cab have stopped working too along with all auxiliary switches. I've checked the fuses but they're not the problem. And they are all on different fuses anyway. It seems all functions on one row of fuses in the fuse box have stopped working. Does anyone know if there is a master fuse box or something like that that can cause this to happen.
Is this a worthwhile discussion?
Problem Solved.
What I did was I unplugged the batteries for a couple of minutes and when I got back in the truck and tried to turn the bunk AC on it wasn't working. The display showed "1" and when I tried to turn the fan on it was beeping like an alarm clock so I unplugged it and problem solved. From what I gather there's a low voltage shut off system in the bunk that had turned the power outlets off...
Anyways, I'm good now. Thanks!

Innovation Panel
The Innovation Panel is a sample of 1,500 households used by researchers as a test-bed for innovative ways of collecting data and for developing new areas of research.
The Innovation Panel helps develop leading-edge survey methods and content that will ensure the ongoing success of Understanding Society and generate important new knowledge. Experiments are carried out, and questions, procedures and methods are tested and used in a context similar to the main Understanding Society survey in order to make that test-bed as realistic as possible.
Participants are, on the whole, asked the same questions using the same procedures as the main survey. However, the Innovation Panel also includes experiments and methodological tests designed to develop and evaluate methodologies and new content for longitudinal survey research.
The Innovation Panel Competition runs each year and gives researchers the opportunity to submit ideas for an experiment or test to be carried out in the subsequent wave or waves of the Innovation Panel. Experiments address a wide range of social science questions or methodological experiements.
Data from the Innovation Panel is available to academics and researchers for both methodological and substantive research.

Can journalists be opinionated on Twitter?
The events taking place around us affect our feelings, which as a result, affect our conversations throughout our normal lives. Since August, the prolonged Azadi march has been affecting the feelings of average Pakistanis on the road. Being associated to the data-mining and text-mining field, I carried out a little experiment to explore the sentiments of Pakistani journalists who are reporting current events in Pakistan. I took journalists as my test subjects as ordinary people generally take their (journalists') opinions seriously and even adopt them as their own. But according to the journalism objectivity principle, these journalists should remain impartial and convey only facts without ...Read Full Post
Hate taking notes in class? Use the Cogi app!
Technology has advanced tremendously over the past decade. However, even today, we use paper to record important details, whether it is jotting down important points during a meeting or taking notes during class lectures. Even journalists use shorthand to remember important points during press conferences along with the aid of video and audio recordings. However, the problem arises when one has to dig out all their handwritten, haphazard material to find relevant points for use after the event or class is over. This exercise is often time consuming and frustrating to undertake. Fortunately, Cogi.com has presented a very simple solution to this issue. At first, the ...Read Full Post
Why rote learning (unfortunately) works for Pakistan
According to Charles Darwin, collaboration is the key to progress. He once said: It is the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed. Inspired by Dr Ashraf Iqbal, Sugata Mitra and Ken Robinson, I went on to implement various forms of collaborative learning in my own classes to check if this model would be productive in our rigid educational system. I believe that just saying that we need to move away from rote learning is one thing, but actually attempting to do so is an entirely different thing. Having given it a shot, I was quite disappointed in ...Read Full Post

Yesterday Justin Bieber's new movie came to theatres.
I asked the kid if she knew who Justin Bieber was. She said, "yeah." and went back to making her Valentines. But I persisted, "who is he?" I questioned.
"I dunno," she responded. "I heard some songs but..." and a shoulder shrug.
So, although she is a fan of Katy Perry, she isn't totally caught up in the whole pop idol thing. And that's a great thing!

Bandidos ride into town for their very own Christmas party
Bandidos bikies from across the country have converged on Melbourne for the club's national run.
A club insider claimed up to 500 bikes will roar through the city as part of the annual run, which left Bendigo on Friday morning for an all weekend party in Melbourne's south-east.
One associate described the run as the club's very own Christmas party.
"This is what we do. It's the brotherhood," he said.
The run, which involves the club's major figureheads including president Jason Addison, is being closely monitored by police.
"[We] will take swift action to detect and disrupt any outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCGs) members who commit crimes, road safety or public order offences," a Victoria police spokeswoman said.
"We are always gathering intelligence with regards to the activities of persons engaged in criminal activity, including those persons who may also be associated with OMCGs.
"Our monitoring of OMCGs permits us to respond in an appropriate fashion if and when any risk of violence is anticipated.
The club, which was formed in the US, established itself in Australia in 1983 after a group split from another club, the Comancheros.
Bandidos national run. Credit:The Age
That split lead to the notorious Milperra massacre, where the two clubs clashed in a shootout that left seven people dead, including a 14-year-old girl, the Bandidos' vice-president, the Comancheros' vice-president and serjeant-at-arms.
While a Bandidos associate said the wider community has a misconception that the club is made up of criminals, authorities say they are a well-organised gang that causes harm across the country.

Role of balance diet and exercise in fitness
Article by John Parker
Fitness is the other name of happiness and house of positive energy. It is a fit person who has positive energy in him and has capability to turn any stone to achieve his goals. Hard work can only be put in by a fit person. A weak or ill person would never be able to put his 100% energy and would not be able to concentrate properly. Hence, he is prone to face failure and distress.
It is well said that in order to be fit one should maintain balance diet and exercise. It is the balance diet that would keep you full of energy and exercise would help you remain active. You would not feel lazy or stressed out if you keep taking both balance diet and exercise in your routine.
Balanced diet is several times taken wrongly as intake of all three meals with a glass of milk but this is not a balanced diet. A balanced diet must contain carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamin, mineral salts and fiber in well proportionate quantity. Carbohydrates are the source of energy so these play an important role in balanced diet. Intentional inclusion of all foods from fruits to vegetables and meats to grains all are included in balanced diet.
Similarly exercise is wrongly perceived as an act just for body builders. Infact exercise is even more important to the non bodybuilders as they have to concentrate on other aspects of life. It is very important to understand the use of exercise. Exercise produces an increase in oxygen consumption reflecting the muscles use of oxygen to provide energy. As oxygen use increases so does the production of free radicals. It is well known that free radicals can be generated from metabolic situations, which occur as a result of demanding training.
Hence it is well perceived that exercise, diet, physical condition and environment are factors, which also play an important role in the balance equation. It is all these factors together that act together to give best results to your input. Therefore, it is important to take both balance diet and exercise to achieve fitness.

Sydney is a city of many fine restaurants. But the most sought-after seat at the table on a Monday night isn't at one of those – it's at Angie Hong's place.
"It all started with a hashtag, actually," explains Dan Hong, son of Angie and Executive Chef at Mr Wong, El Loco and Ms. G's in Sydney. "My family all ended up at Mum's place on Monday nights, where she'd cook a Vietnamese feast. There would always be a special guest. Usually, it would be one of Mum's friends, and usually they'd be from [Campos Coffee] because she goes there, like, every day."
"But then I started wanting to invite some of my chef friends over. They would always post the dinner to Instagram using the hashtag #MondayHongDinners. It kind of snowballed, and people started talking about how it was the hardest invite to get in Sydney. People were like, 'Ugh! It's harder to get into than Noma!'" he says, referring to the now-closed Rene Redzepi pop-up.
Now, Dan and Angie Hong are bringing their Monday Night Dinner to Melbourne as part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. The one-off event will take place on Monday April 3, and includes more special guests than ever.
Some of the country's finest hospitality families will be joining Dan and Angie to share their own family cooking traditions. Special guest chefs for the night include Adelaide's Ayubi family (Parwana), Tasmania's Alistair and Sally Wise (A Year in a Bottle, Slow Cooker), Matt Stone and Jo Barrett (Oakridge), Sydney's Amy and Palisa Chanta (Chat Thai, Boon Cafe) and Melbourne's own Kate and Cameron Reid, the brother-and-sister duo behind Lune Croissanterie.
While no-one would say no to one of the city's best croissants, no matter the time of day, the pastry is not something you'd immediately associate with dinner. "The Reid family tradition is croissants with jam and cream," says Kate. "On special occasions, that's what we'd have. But since someone else is doing dessert [for Monday Night Dinner], we've decided to put up a canapé or entrée.
"Our head baker has been playing around with a new flavour: mortadella and pickled fennel with a green-olive tapenade, so we're thinking that could work."
Kate and Cameron cook together at Lune every day, and the sibling connection is palpable.
"He makes me a coffee every morning," says Kate.
"Sometimes I'll boil her an egg," Cameron says.
"Sometimes he makes me my lunch."
"Yeah, sometimes I'll buy her lunch, and sometimes she'll buy me my lunch," they cackle, quipping back-and-forth.
It's this kind of familial intimacy that contributed to the success of Angie's Monday night dinners to begin with. And with so many families coming together for this one-off Melbourne version, guests will be given a rare opportunity to experience what it's like to be a guest at the family dinner table of some of the country's best chefs.
As for how the vibe of a home-cooked meal will be translated to a location that's not a family home, Dan Hong assures us the food will more than make up for it.
"I mean, my Mum's making the dressing," he says. "That's huge."
Monday Night Dinner at Melbourne Food & Wine Festival will take place on Monday April 3 from 6.30pm to 10.30pm at The House of Food & Wine (361 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne). Tickets cost $125 and include six dishes and six drinks. More info and bookings here.

Recently we dropped our new Muni Kids Wood Bag Tags and I thought we should tell you a little about them. We wanted to create golf accessories that were really one of a kind. After brainstorming for many days we decided, what would be better than wooden bag tags made right here in house at the Muni Kids Workshop. Each bag tag starts out on a long strip of wood. We measure out the length of each tag and then we go straight to branding them with our logo. The branding iron is heated up in a fire pit and then used to brand each one individually. Branding is not an exact science so the beauty of these bag tags is each one has it's own individuality. After the branding is done, we start to cut them to the proper length so they are all separated. The next step is drilling the holes out for the leather straps. Then we decided to go with two different staining options, a darker Mission Oak and a lighter Pecan. Some of our bag tags get personally numbered next and stained while we keep some unstained so we can add personalization if you choose and then stain and number them. Our Muni Kids Wood Bag Tags are a project that we are really proud of and turned out great. We are really excited to finally be able to share these with you guys! Hope you enjoy!
Thanks for sharing David! That's very exciting for us to hear. I'm glad that it's drawing interest and appreciate you putting in the good word with Dan and the other folks at Tokatee! I'm jealous too! I never made it down to Tokatee this year unfortunately. Maybe next year we will put together a MK2MAN Tourney there!

Bicycling is different in Cuba than it is in America. In Cuba, biking is largely done out of necessity, while most American cyclists bike for leisure or out of a love of biking, with other, easier transportation options often available. Also different is that new bicycle parts are relatively unavailable in Cuba, leading bike mechanics to have to make do with what parts are already on the island. Part of a mechanic's skill lies in their ability to make creative use of these parts, often modifying them or repurposing them for another use. This creativity and ability of Cubans to manage with scarce bike resources is something that inspires awe in the average American, but for them it is not done out of any deep love for the creativity itself, but rather out of a lack of other available options.
Given the ability for humans to do so much with so little, it makes us wonder how this creative force can be harnessed in other environments. How can this philosophy of reuse be repurposed by us and applied to situations where, even though other parts are available, we can do something to reuse those that have already been produced? What can Champaign-Urbana learn from Cuban bike mechanics?
Havana, owing to the US embargo and its political policies, is known for its ability to function importing few goods and recycling those that it has. In this way, they function to some extent outside of the global area that much of the rest of the world lives in. This has been fairly widely discussed with respect to its cars, many of which are of American build from the 40s and 50s. Though for Americans and many others, these cars evoke romantic images of times past, for Cubans they are mundane and merely a symptom of their reality.
Less known and less discussed are its bikes, which are also mechanics' creativity and ability to recycle. Beginning in the 1990s, due to the ending of financial support from other countries following the fall of the USSR and the Eastern Socialist Bloc, bicycles began to take on greater importance as a means of transportation. In the short film, Havana Bikes, videographer Diego Vivanco and producer Ian Clark explore this issue. Times have changed since the 90s with state-run bicycle factories closing and an increase in the importation of gasoline, leading many residents to again use cars as their main means of transportation. This, though, if anything, has only increased the need for mechanics to find solutions to problems due to lack of parts and to continue servicing their Frankenstein bikes.Many Cubans continue to use bikes as their primary means of transit. Bikes are used to get to work and school, to move merchandise or personal items, and to transport people in bicitaxis.
Another related issue is that of the Riquimbili. These are bikes that have been modified by adding a motor to them in a way that is both inventive and (somewhat) frightening. Often gas tanks are made of plastic soda bottles. Regardless of safety concerns, this again shows Cubans' inventiveness for making the best of what they have and functioning without the constant production of new goods that mediates American life.
For more on this story, see Diego Vivanco's write-up. Let us know what you think CU can do to harness this creative energy!

Thoughts on transformation
I've been thinking a lot about transformation lately. Sometimes we can forget who we are, who we once were, or who we wanted to be once upon a time. I think that can happen to anyone but it especially true with mothers. I have been mothering for 15 years now and for all those years everything has been about the kids. Their milestones, their activities, their ambitions...I have been doing what is in their best interest and at the same time, I have put on hold my own ambitions. Why do we do that?

Cheap And Good Skincare Foods
Cocoa lovers will be pleased to know that this "food of the gods" - the meaning of its Latin name Theobroma - helps in improving blood flow and hydrating skin because it is a good source of antioxidants. Ensuring that the skin gets enough 'drinking' water is important for skin health and cocoa is widely acclaimed as the go-to ingredient for this. In a 12-week study done on 24 women, those who drank a high-flavanol cocoa beverage noted increased hydration, reduced skin roughness and stronger skin defense against UV rays. Researchers attributed cocoa's skin health benefits to flavanols - compounds that are found naturally in cocoa and have been noted to improve blood flow and vessel function.
Cocoa For Skin Hydration
Skincare Foods: Tomatoes For Sun Defense
A UK study showed that people who ate 5 tablespoons of tomato paste daily and clubbed it with a tablespoon of olive oil over a period of 3 months got better protection from sunburn as compared to people who had taken only olive oil. Another study showed that the group put on a strict tomato paste diet had a 30% increase in protection against sun damage. The studies concluded that the reason for the participants' strengthened skin resistance was the presence of lycopene – a very effective antioxidant - in tomatoes which boosted the skin's natural SPF (Sun Protection Factor).
Walnut The Eczema Warrior
Also known as dermatitis, eczema is a condition that inflames the skin causing it to be dry, red, itchy, patchy and cracking. Another skincare foods, walnuts have been traditionally used to treat eczema sufferers due to their generous omega-3 fatty acids content. These fatty acids boast antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties: they protect healthy cells from free radicals and help alleviate skin diseases caused by inflammation like psoriasis and eczema. Master herbalist Dr Paul Haider says that walnut leaves can also be used to cure serious skin diseases such as impetigo - a common and highly contagious skin infection that causes sores and blisters.
Coffee To Prevent Skin Cancer
First, it was cocoa and now coffee for healthy skin – isn't it great? In a study published by the Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 2015, it was reported that people who drank four or more cups of coffee daily were 20 percent less likely to develop malignant melanoma - the leading cause of skin-cancer death in the U.S. – than non-coffee drinkers. The protective effect is most likely to be caffeine – no surprises here of course - and its efficacy as a molecular sunscreen that absorbs UV rays and protects DNA from damage. But that doesn't mean you can go on a coffee-drinking binge; just keep it to a maximum of four cups daily and you should be fine.

Painkillers are part of everyday life for many Americans. For those with severe pain, undergoing surgery or recovering from surgery more powerful narcotics are needed to effectively treat their pain. However, these drugs do not come without risks, including drowsiness, slowed heart rate, addiction and nausea. One risk that many are not aware of is the affect narcotics can have on breathing, and especially breathing during sleep.
Sleep apnea is a common sleeping disorder that involves the
airway closing off during sleep, preventing oxygen from entering the lungs and the bloodstream. Sleep apnea is common among individuals who are overweight or have excess tissue in and around the throat. When the airway closes and the body is not getting enough oxygen the brain signals the body to wake up and take a deep breath to get the air it needs. Sometimes the sufferer is aware of these awakenings but many times this happens without being fully conscious.
Numerous studies have been performed to look at the effects of narcotics on sleep. The results showed three serious problems that narcotics present for sleep-related breathing. First, the relaxing nature of the drugs can create or worsen the apnea-like symptoms by relaxing the airway and allowing it to close off. This can both cause someone without apnea to experience breathing problems while on the narcotics, and it can worsen an already dangerous condition in those that have existing sleep apnea.
Second is the affect narcotics have on the ability to arouse the user. Narcotics are intended to sedate patients, keeping them asleep and block pain signals to the brain. These drugs are also effective at blocking other signals to the brain such as the signal to breathe. This causes the sufferer to go longer without breathing, allowing less oxygen to get to the body.
Lastly, certain narcotics are known to reduce heart rate. This factor can further decrease the amount of oxygen reaching the organs and brain as less blood is being pumped by the heart. The compounded effects of these issues can result in numerous health risks, most of all cardiac arrest and death. Even those with low body mass indexes (BMI), who were previously thought to not be at risk for apnea, have been shown to develop sleep-related breathing issues when under the influence of powerful narcotics. The greatest danger still remains when those with high BMI and existing apnea are taking narcotics.
The best method to eliminate breathing issues during surgery or while taking narcotics is with the use of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine (CPAP). CPAP is the most common and effective treatment for sleep apnea as the device gently pushes room air into the airway to keep it from closing. This allows the person to breathe without issue, even under the influence of narcotics.
Anytime surgery or narcotics are being considered it is important to speak with your physician about potential risks that are involved. There are numerous screening options available, including a full sleep study, which is the most effective tool to identify sleep-related breathing issues. Existing CPAP users should always bring their machine with them anytime they are undergoing surgery or taking narcotics. Those who snore or are over-weight should speak with their physician about the risks of going under anesthesia or using narcotics.

If ever a U.S. president warranted impeachment, it is Donald J. Trump. His presidency is an affront to every core value and principle America claims to stand for.
The special counsel's investigation of Russia's hostile attack on our elections found ten instances where Trump obstructed—or attempted to obstruct—justice.
His abuses of the office are legion, from flagrant violations of the emoluments clause to incitement of violence against the free press in subversion of the First Amendment.
He has presided over the atrocity of stealing children from asylum-seeking parents and locking them in frigid holding cells with no plans to reunite the families. Several children have died as a result of his monstrous border policy.
He has coddled brutal dictators while alienating allies.
He has repeatedly fanned the flames of racism, empowering Nazis and white supremacists.
His party, emboldened by his disregard for the Constitution, has launched a deadly, broad-based assault on women's reproductive rights and health.
He has installed an Attorney General who makes a mockery of the rule of law.
The unavoidable reality is that impeaching Trump in the House is the only way to leave a permanent mark on his presidency, to let history know that we defended the rule of law when it faced an existential threat from a lawless and corrupt president.
Yet the House Democratic leadership, which has the power to launch impeachment proceedings against Trump, is dithering, stonewalling, and carpeting social media with specious arguments against impeachment.
Let's debunk them one by one.
SPIN: The Senate won't convict so there's no point impeaching in the House.
History is a good guide to rebut this talking point. Republicans had no problem impeaching Bill Clinton in the House even though he was acquitted in the Senate. There is no reasonable case to be made that Clinton deserved impeachment and Trump doesn't. Furthermore, in the case of Nixon, the impeachment process itself changed views in the Senate. There is no way of knowing what will happen until impeachment hearings begin.
And by this logic, Democrats should bring all House votes to a standstill, since Mitch McConnell has no intention of cooperating with them to pass meaningful legislation. Yet Democrats have passed a number of important bills, knowing that they are dead on arrival in the Senate.
SPIN: Democrats need to gather more evidence to make an airtight case for impeachment.
Pretending that we need more evidence of wrongdoing to impeach Trump is one of the most spurious excuses for inaction by the Democratic leadership. First, it effectively reinforces Trump's claim that he has not committed impeachable offenses, because if there was already compelling evidence in the public record, why would we need more? Essentially, Democratic leaders are arguing that nothing we know about Trump today rises to the level of impeachment. It is a dangerous argument that is false on its face. Even a Tea Party Republican like Justin Amash sees through it.
In fact, Trump's repeated characterization of the mainstream media as "enemies of the people" and his incitement of violence against the free press is a blatant violation of his oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." That alone is an impeachable offense that requires no further evidence-gathering.
SPIN: Democrats are already winning in the courts by compelling Trump to produce documents.
Trump has spent his life playing a cat and mouse game in the courts, winning, losing, appealing, delaying, obfuscating. What is the end game of taking Trump to court to compel document production? Months of delays and appeals to finally get more evidence? We don't need more evidence of wrongdoing on his part. As I argue above, there is already ample evidence in the public record to impeach him.
Relying solely on the courts is playing on Trump's turf as he runs out the clock on his transgressions. There is no reason not to open impeachment proceedings immediately even while using the courts as a pressure point. In fact, as Michael Conway, former counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, argues: "Because the current Congress has not authorized an impeachment inquiry, the ability of the House to enforce its subpoenas or to punish Barr is sharply circumscribed."
SPIN: Impeachment interferes with ongoing investigations.
This point is debunked by Sarah Kendzior, who spoke to legal expert John Bonifaz. According to Kendzior, "In addition to using made-up terms like 'self-impeach', many Pelosi disciples are spreading alternative facts about the process. One claim they've made is that impeachment hearings end all other Trump investigations. This is wrong."
Bonifaz called this argument "bogus" and "laughable," pointing out that "the impeachment process has zero impact on any federal or state criminal or civil investigations."
SPIN: Trump is "goading" Democrats and "self-impeaching."
"Self-impeachment" is a bizarre argument floated by Speaker Pelosi, along with the claim that Trump is "goading" Democrats into impeaching him. "The president is self-impeaching … He's putting out the case against himself. Obstruction, obstruction, obstruction. Ignoring subpoenas and the rest. He's doing our work for us, in a certain respect."
"He's doing our work for us" is another way of saying "we're not doing our job." No president wants to be impeached, least of all an ego-driven individual like Trump. The permanent stain on his presidency does not help him in any conceivable way. To pretend he wants to be impeached is to buy his most ludicrous spin.
SPIN: Speaker Pelosi and her colleagues have a "secret plan" and are playing the "long game."
This is a common refrain, but it has no basis in reality. What exactly is the long game? Is it simply to do nothing in the House until 2020 and put the onus on voters to remove Trump? That's not a long game, it's a reckless abdication of responsibility. There is no time for a long game when children are dying on the border, when women's rights are being trampled, when the GOP is undermining the rule of law, when subpoenas are being ignored.
If Democratic leaders like Schumer, Hoyer, and Pelosi were really playing a secret long game over the past two decades, how have we reached a point where the far right is dominant and our very democracy is on the verge of collapse? Believing in a secret plan may be comforting, but there is absolutely nothing in the real world to support the claim that Democratic leaders know how to stop Trump's relentless march to autocracy.
SPIN: Impeaching Trump will rile up his base and enable him to play the victim.
This absurd argument assumes that MAGA voters are somehow passive and apathetic, only to be awakened and inflamed by impeachment. But anyone who has seen the "lock her up" chants at Trump's rallies knows that the GOP base is kept in a constant state of anger and agitation by the right-wing media apparatus. Either way, upholding the rule of law shouldn't be determined by what opposition party voters think. It is a constitutional obligation to defend and protect our system of government, not some political calculus about how voters will react.
As to the point that Trump will use impeachment to play the victim, a cursory look at his tweets shows that he does it on a daily basis. Trump's rhetorical games should have no bearing on the imperative to defend the Constitution.
SPIN: Impeachment is a distraction from the Democratic agenda.
Defending the rule of law and holding a president to account for abuse of power is an essential part of the Democratic agenda. As activist Bree Newsome wrote, "Foregoing impeachment proceedings to 'focus on the legislative agenda' is bogus argument. None of their legislation will pass in the Senate anyway & 45 will veto. They're saying they plan to do nothing substantively to protect the public interest against rampant corruption. The irony is that with their cynical political maneuverings to hold onto power in this moment, they undermine both their own power and the legitimacy of the institution they represent."
By emphasizing electoral calculations over principle, the Democratic Party is failing America at a critical moment in our history. The GOP under Donald Trump is pushing our democracy to the breaking point, conducting a full-scale assault on women's health and rights, while Democratic Party leaders are frozen by focus groups, caught in a cynical cycle of polling and pandering to a mythical moderate voter who is allegedly put off by a robust defense of the rule of law.
SPIN: The public is against impeachment.
Protecting our democracy and upholding the rule of law should not be driven by polls. But even if Democrats want to gauge public sentiment, they'll find that a majority of Democrats support impeachment.
According to a recent Morning Consult/Politico poll, "fifty-three percent of registered Democratic voters said impeaching Trump should be a 'top priority' for Congress, nearing a previous high of 56 percent measured in early March." An NPR/PBS/Marist poll showed 70% of Democrats favoring impeachment.
SPIN: Impeachment is too divisive.
The Democratic Party leadership's failure to recognize that the GOP seeks autocratic rule, that it is bent on permanently dividing Americans, is a historic mistake. No matter what Democrats do, Republican leaders will do their best to divide America.
Yoni Appelbaum, senior editor at The Atlantic, argues that impeachment "is a vital protection against the dangers a president like Trump poses. And, crucially, many of its benefits—to the political health of the country, to the stability of the constitutional system—accrue irrespective of its ultimate result. Impeachment is a process, not an outcome, a rule-bound procedure for investigating a president, considering evidence, formulating charges, and deciding whether to continue on to trial."
Impeachment is not a magic solution to the GOP's embrace of right-wing extremism. Nor is it likely to remove Trump from office. But it is a crucial statement to present and future generations that America is a democracy not a dictatorship. Rep. Ilhan Omar phrased it simply: "Impeachment is about upholding the rule of law and protecting our democracy." Even Speaker Pelosi admitted that Trump is conducting "an assault on the Constitution." She added that his "obstruction of justice is in plain sight … it cannot be denied." So why not impeach him for it? This inexplicable inaction isn't about building public support, as some claim. It is about placing politics over principle. Thank goodness for the dedicated activists and handful of principled politicians who are putting pressure on the Democratic leadership and creating momentum for impeachment.

Your Ride: 2006 Ford Mustang Shelby Tribute
Sometimes when you're facing the darkest corners and feel the deepest despair there is light at the end of the tunnel. For D.J. Moss that light was a shiny modified Mustang. Moss experienced some family hardships and felt his life spiraling down around him. Everything was going wrong until he came across his Ford Mustang Shelby Tribute with Shelby blood. Moss shares with BoldRide how his Mustang brought him to be who he is today. BoldRide: How did you acquire the ride? Moss: I drove past the dealership and something told me I just had to stop. I was actually going to buy a Camaro, but I didn't want to buy a new car so I never came around to stopping at the dealerships. But this time was different, I can't even explain the feeling I had that told me to stop. I knew I had to stop and there she was, my lifesaver. It was instantaneous love and I just had to have her. I've always had a love for Shelbys, so I couldn't pass this up. It was a lucky find; I bought her all modded out.
What do you love about it?
I love everything about her. My car changed my life completely; it's one hell of a car. Any car able to save someone, like it did for me, is truly remarkable. It might sound crazy to have an emotional attachment to a car, but she's not just a car to me. And with the recent passing of my hero Carroll Shelby, my car is much more important to me. Since my purchase, I am a new person; my life started to turn around. My Mustang covers a big hole in my heart and the sentimental value of it is priceless to me. Before I bought her, it was like everyone was drifting away. My Mustang brought me out, and now I attend car shows, converse with other car guys, make new friends and get to meet some really amazing people. My Mustang gave me what I need to be happy; my Mustang really saved my life.
What would you change about it?
My Mustang is technically a Shelby Tribute and I sometimes wish it was an actually Shelby. But it's okay because I just look at her and she means just as much, if not more to me as the real Shelby.
What's your favorite memory of your car?
I have a lot of favorite memories, but my all time favorite was when I raced against an actual Shelby that wanted to throw down. I complied and ended up beating him with my high performance SVT 4.0. It's safe to say, it doesn't matter that it's a Shelby Tribute.
Does it have a name?
I call her 'neck breaker' because of the looks she gets driving down the road. I recalled an incident - which I felt terrible about – when someone in another car was staring at her and they actually wrecked their own car since they were not paying attention. I guess that's the price you pay for checking out my girl.
Favorite and dream place to drive and why?
When I'm in my 'stang I just love to drive anywhere and everywhere. My dream place is probably just like every other gear heads out there, the Autobahn.
What do you feel like when you drive it?
The feeling is truthfully indescribable, I feel unstoppable. It is quite a feeling that comes over me. It doesn't matter what mood I'm in or what kind of day I'm having, when I drive her I'm in a completely new place.

Be aware this is Billy's diatribe about Chain email letters so if language offends...its up to you. Foxymoron posted about chain emails and was reminded of this little piece. This is for you Foxy.
"Hello, my name is Billy and I suffer from guilt for not forwarding 50 billion fucking chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe, if you send them on, a poor six-year-old girl in Scotland with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her to a travelling freak show.
How stupid are we?
Ooooh, looky here!
If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by a model I just happen to run into the next day!
What a bunch of bullshit.Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and kill me in my sleep for not continuing a chain letter that was started by St Peter in 5AD and brought to this country by midget pilgrim stowaways on the Endeavour.
Fuck 'em!!If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing.I've seen all the 'send this to 10 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being' forwards about 90 times. I don't fucking care.
Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it's our own unpopularity.The point being?If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on.
Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to the arse of a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this email.
Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and will consume your genitals.
Have a nice day.
Billy Connolly
PS Send me 15 bucks and then fuck off. "

For some time anatomic pillows made from memory foam or those filled with pooh are fashionable. They are cheaper than pillows with feathers and easier to clean, but the latter are more comfortable. Here is how you can wash them without ruining them:
It is important to wash your pillows regularly, even if they are delicate as the feather. You can wash them in the dishwasher without problem. You must be careful when doing this and carefully follow all these steps:
Check Cushion
Before you put them in the wash, check whether there are holes in the fabric: the flakes should not come out when you wash them because you will clog the washing machine and ruin cushions. If there are no cuts or holes, then move on to the next step. Neve put in the washing machine more than two pillows. If two can't fit, then one is enough. Use a lower amount than usual detergent. You can replace the conditioner with a few drops of lavender essential oil or peppermint. Use the washing program for delicate clothes when washing pillows with feathers and rinse them twice. You can also use centrifugal spinning.
How to dry pillows with feathers
After being squeezed in the washing machine you should put them to dry stretched on a clothes dryer (not hanging on a rope), but before that you have to undo all the "lumps" of feathers which were formed in the pillow. It is preferable to keep them outside on the balcony, but if you do not have this possibility, then keep them dry in a well-ventilated room, near a heater (if warm). Every few hours, shook the pillows and check if the feathers are not stuck between them. Little by little, the pillow will receive initial appearance.
Pillow with feathers dry harder
If washed clothes dry in a day or a few hours, pillows flakes dry harder. You need a few days to shake them and make them fight to gain their initial appearance. Only after they have thoroughly dried you can use them again.


text: Hi everyone, I'm thinking of getting this, but I have a few questions: - When u press the "Guide" Button does it show the ugly guide that usually comes with DVR's? Or does Google TV has its own Guide look? (I'm thinking of getting Dish Network also) - When you search for a TV Show for example, and lets say this show has Full Episodes available on TBS.com, does it display TBS.com shows as results? - If I press the "INPUT" button, is that like "SOURCE" on the TV remote? If so, can I use the remote to control something else at that point? Like a DVD player? - What are the color buttons for? Well, those are my questions so far Thanks everyone!!!

Our Italian manufacturing partners are the only one in the world that has achieved success in this kind of lamination process, having developed and tested this unique system over the course of several years. This invaluable artisanal experience has led to JMM's development of a custom "car door" hinge system, as well as the introduction of sculptural temple designs and vibrant color combinations never before seen in eyewear.
