Uyghur's still protesting and being killed in China.
From Democracy Now!:
New protests have erupted in China's western Xinjiang region, two days after at least 156 people were killed and over 1,000 wounded in the country's worst ethnic violence in decades. On Tuesday, some 200 ethnic Uyghurs–mostly women–took to the streets to protest over the mass arrest of more than 1,400 people following Sunday's clashes. Later, hundreds of ethnic Han Chinese marched through the streets of Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang province. The two sides blame each other for the outbreak of violence.
The DN link includes an interview with Nury Turkel, a Uyghur American Attorney. He is the co-founder of the Uyghur Human Rights Project and past president of the Uyghur American Association. Here is video of the unrest and a report by Amy Goodman.
Protest against the Bailout in NYC..with pictures!
First, as of today, Weathervane McCain had NOT read the bailout plan he now says he doesn't support. Its all of two and a half pages!
Next Jeremy Scahill has the photos below up on Alternet of todays protest held on Wall Street.
CNN has the following article up about todays protests:
The public backlash against the Bush administration's proposal to use tax dollars to bailout Wall Street spilled into the streets Thursday.
"People all over the country are up in arms about this," said David Elliot, a spokesman for grassroots advocacy group UsAction. "Our members are livid, and they're hitting the streets."
TrueMajority.com, an online forum for activists, said its members had organized 251 events in more than 41 states to protest the bailout.
Several other grassroots organizations were involved in the protests, including Democracy for America, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn) and labor unions.
A rally organized by the New York Central Labor Council took place this afternoon on Wall Street near the New York Stock Exchange. That was followed by a more informal protest that began to take shape on Wall Street shortly after the financial markets closed.
I love a good protest. Hat tip to Betmo for the 411 on the Wall Street rally/protest.
Tags: NYC Protest, Wall Street Protest
Over 800 arrested during the RNC in St Paul this week.
This total also includes numerous media personnel like Amy Goodman, Rick Rowley of Big Noise Films and Democracy Now! producer Sharif Abdel Kouddous who was also arrested earlier in the week while covering one of the numerous protests and rally's.
Not all protesters arrested were violent or anarchists, don't let the mutha fuckas in the St Paul law enforcement community fool you. From a St. Paul media outlet regarding the final night of the convention:
Among those arrested were two Associated Press reporters covering the event. They were issued a citation and detained, along with a KARE-11 TV photographer and more than a dozen other members of the media. All were released later in the evening.
Amy Goodman and her producer and assistant are still being 'processed' as protesters, even though they have press credentials. They have been released from jail.
Funny how that works for the progressive press ain't it?
Mothers Day in Nepal: Big protest, lots of arrests
All of the arrested are women. From the VOA writeup:
Police in the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu say they have detained more than 560 Tibetan protesters Sunday, all of them women.
It was the all female demonstration against China's crackdown in Tibet since violence erupted in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa in March.
Since then, Tibetan exiles have taken part in anti-China protests nearly every day. Nepal is home to about 20,000 Tibetan refugees.
Power to the people…Buddha please keep them safe. These wonderful women deserve our respect, as do all the brave protesters.

Protests yesterday were pretty light..why?
United for Peace and Justice signaled that they had folks going to DC from 36 states, so I really expected a great turnout. I kept an eye on their website off and on all day yesterday..sadly, there were very few updates to be found, even this morning as I checked it to write this post. When I googled for 'protests' I had a hard time finding anything either, even from the Independent Media. I found San Francisco of course as well as LA, and then New Haven CT?
The DC event, had hundreds not thousands in attendance according to WaPo. WTF? From the WaPo writeup:
Organizers downplayed the low turnout. "This is a different type of action than the peace movement has done before," said Ted Glick of the No War, No Warming Coalition. "It's more edgy. . . . We think this is actually an important step forward for the peace and justice movement."
But demonstrator Gary Krane, of Oakland, Calif., expressed dismay.
"The apathy of my fellow Americans is very frightening, very horrific," he said. "I thought there would be hundreds if not thousands of people getting arrested."
It saddens me too. Why are the people so apathetic? Are they spending all their energy on the friggin election? Why was a sickening anniversary largely ignored?
This time around there were civil disobedience actions..which are good..but only if such actions are taken by thousands of people..not just a handful. The LAT writeup was the most comprehensive:
While about 1,000 protested in Washington on Wednesday, larger rallies were organized in Chicago, New York and San Francisco.
Antiwar demonstrators gathered in downtown Chicago's Federal Plaza on Wednesday evening for a rally and march. Organizers were expecting thousands of demonstrators.
At one event in New York City, women sang and counted the war dead outside the Times Square military recruiting station, which was recently the target of a bomb.
In Miami, half a dozen antiwar protesters dressed in black placed flowers outside the U.S. Southern Command during the morning rush hour.
In San Francisco, police arrested about 100 protesters by early afternoon for blocking traffic and chaining themselves to buildings, police said.
The LAT writeup said MoveOn was sponsoring the LA protest..yet when I went to the MoveOn site..there were no pictures or writeups about their protest this morning.
The last event I attended in LA..thousands were there protesting this war..but yesterday..it was just sad.

Unfortunately, many people feel frustrated when trying to force their bodies into a small room to get some sleep. Most people are doing it because they do not have extra money to invest in better sleeping arrangements. So, it's back to you, if you want to have a more comfortable room for a better quality of sleep and you have enough budget, there is no doubt for choosing king size bedroom sets.
Most people buy king size bedroom because they consider it as a luxurious. Most of the products come with accessories such as bedroom furniture in one package.

Rich's Review
I chose Windows on Washington because from the beginning they were very professional, on time, and gave me straight talk without a sales job. We were replacing all 18 windows in the house including fixed special order windows. I compared their estimate and product recommendation with other companies and was convinced they provided the best value and quality. When it came time to install the installation crew could not have been more efficient. They completed the job in one day as promised and the quality of their work was top notch. I personally observed how meticulous and thorough they were with replacing rotted wood, caulking, and installing window trim clad. I was completely satisfied with their work and would use them for other projects in the future.

SARNIA — Gurpreet Brar was slapped by both her husband and brother-in-law and criticized for not measuring up as a wife before she died in a Highway 402 truck fire, a murder trial heard Thursday.
Sukhchain Singh Brar, 52, is charged with first-degree murder in the Jan. 31, 2016 death of his 37-year-old wife, whose body was found in the burnt remains of the transport truck he'd been driving west on Highway 402 near Sarnia about 3 a.m. that day.
Amid turmoil in their Brampton home, Gurpreet Brar had been slapped by both her husband and his brother, the jury was told.
Gurpreet Brar lived with her husband and their three children. Her mother-in-law and brother-in-law also were living in the Brampton home during 2015.
Grupreet was being questioned about her comings and goings and told she was not being a proper wife by her husband's relatives, court heard.
A friend, Karamjit Kaur, testified Gurpreet admitted to a long-standing affair with another man and Gurpreet wondered if the man may be the father of her youngest child. The man travelled with Gurpreet on trips to New York and was in India during one of her annual visits there, court heard.
Superior Court Justice Bruce Thomas told jurors such evidence was hearsay and at the end of the trial he would be telling them how to deal with hearsay evidence.
Gurpreet's 67-year-old mother testified that she knew nothing about her daughter's relationship with another man. She said such a relationship would be shameful.
Sukhchain Singh Brar and Gurpreet were joined in an arranged marriage in 1999.
At the time of the marriage Sukhchain Singh Brar had agreed to make a cash payment of 800,000 rupees ($15,744 at today's exchange rate) and to bring his wife's family to Canada. He did both.
Throughout his mother-in-law's testimony, the accused's head was bowed, nearly touching a table.
The couple's daughter also testified. The young teen said her mother had repeatedly asked her to join her parents on the Jan. 30 truck trip. Her mother also was a licensed truck driver and the couple had done long trips as a team.
The daughter said she had seen her mother punched by her brother-in-law.
During another argument, her mother put her hands around her husband's neck, she said.
Many times her mother had told her she felt like she wasn't part of the home, the daughter testified.
At about 11 p.m. on Jan. 30, the daughter called her parents. Her mother asked her to make sure her younger brother's clothes were ready for school the following morning. There was nothing unusual about the talk, she said.
The teen said she did not know what type of relationship her mother had with the other man. She considered him as an uncle, as she did other family friends.

Women have been revealing their funniest and most outrageous outbursts during labour.
Of course, giving birth is one of scariest - and most exciting - things a woman can do, according to many mothers.
It is also widely referred to as the most painful thing the human body can be put through.
So, with so much pain and plenty of gas and air floating about, it's no surprise some of the things mums-to-be have uttered are brilliant, bonkers and bizarre.
From one patient saying "forget this - I'm going home," to another telling nurses to "put it back in," a Reddit thread has been revealing all.
The social media networking site launched a question directed at health professionals encouraging them to share their most memorable childbirth experiences.
The question posed was: "Doctors, nurses who deliver babes, what are some strange or funny things people have screamed while giving birth?"
Here are the best reactions:
Ten of the funniest quotes from women in labour:
"When my brother was born, they had to use forceps to get him out. My mom saw them and screamed 'THOSE ARE SALAD TONGS! YOU ARE NOT PUTTING ANY GODDAMN KITCHENWARE IN THERE!'"
No one was responding to the call button as my mom was giving birth so she yelled "DO SOMETHING HONEY!!" so my dad ran out into the hallway and screamed at the top of his lungs
"Paramedic here: Delivered a baby for a lady who did not realise she was pregnant and called us for 'abdominal pain.'
Patient: 'You are an idiot! I am not f***ing pregnant'
Me: 'Well, I can see a head crowning'
Patient: Thats must be a f***ing tumor!"
"When my sister was in labor, she was screaming and our mom was trying to be comforting: 'It'll be OK. Take some deep breaths. It'll be over soon.'
Then my sister looks up at our mom and says 'You have no idea what this is like.'"
'My mum apparently said, upon viewing my brother whose head and face had become rather misshapen during his protracted journey down the birth canel. "Noooo! Put it back in!"'
"When I was born, my dad didn't know that babies are usually born face down, and as I was coming out he screams: 'OH MY GOD SHE DOESN'T HAVE A FACE!'"
"I'm a nurse, but I'm also a mom. My husband told me when I was breathing the laughing gas I screamed: 'I'm lady Darth Vader!" as I was pushing. Then I asked the doctor if he felt my tonsils when he had his arm up there. These are my coworkers."
"After a long contraction, I said quietly 'I'm gonna set everyone in this room on fire.' Everyone laughed, including the nurse, but I think my devoutly Christian mother-in-law started to cry."
"Patient fully dialated, started pushing, then changed her mind. 'I don't wanna do this, I'm going the f*** home.' And then tried to get off the table."
"A friends mom is a nurse. Nurse: "Have you seen the mucus plug?" Woman in labour: 'Yeah, that moron went out to have a cigarette!'"

[Vlogtag] Monday's Super Saturday
Well, being as I was barely home Sunday and Monday, this didn't quite make it up in time. But it's not really a Vlogtag video from me unless it's claiming to be Monday even when it's going up at least a bit into Tuesday.
In case it's been too long and you've forgotten: Vlogtag is the collaborative YouTube channel my friends and I have used since 2008 to get to know each other better.

Last year, BBC reported on found aerial footage of France just after World War I, kept in a Paris vault for nearly 100 years. In this rarely seen film (below the jump), you can see what the countryside looked like after the guns stopped. The BBC juxtaposed those images with shots of what the same landscape looks like today.
Another report, here, similarly this year uncovered a WWI-era camera with undeveloped film. The camera, stored in a chest in France, had photographs of Australian (and other nationalities) soldiers just behind the front lines of the Somme. The camera belonged to a French couple who offered to take and develop photographs of resting soldiers, so that the latter could use the pictures as postcards home.
For more images and films, see British Pathé's WWI Archive. Included among them are the films and photographs of shell shocked soldiers, who reflected modern battle horrors and psychological injuries never before seen.

|Ye Nuns 7" cover photo by Jeff Pitcher
It has been a busy time in the convent as Ye Nuns, the premier all-girl tribute to The Monks, have two new releases out and available for sale right now. First of all, State Records have released a brand new 7" single on heavyweight vinyl "I Don't Want To Do This Again"/"Don't Worry" which is limited to 500 copies and it has a very special unique selling point…so let's get the low down from the label itself…"State Records are very pleased to announce a new 45 from legendary Monks tribute act, Ye Nuns. These seven ladies have been blowing minds for a good few years now, with their spot-on renditions of classic tracks by Garage legends, The Monks, whose story is pretty well known now. Five American GI's stationed in Germany formed a fairly typical beat band in the mid-60s before hooking up with some avant-garde existentialists who persuaded them to change their image, drop their repertoire and embark on a twisted journey into an originality that set them apart from every other band at the time. Stinging fuzz guitar, bass from hell, electric banjo, barked nonsensical lyrics - these guys were NOT messing around! Fast forward 40+ years and Ye Nuns picked up the baton with a mission to keep the fine work of The Monks alive and out there. Now, they've upped the ante again, recording two previously unreleased songs written by original Monks bass-player, Eddie Shaw. Both sides are deadly, sounding for all the world like "Black Monk Time" outtakes! The single comes packaged in a super cool double-sided fold-over card sleeve and is limited to 500 copies". You can order yours now from State Records at their Ebay store here.
Next up, the Manchester based label Crocodile Records has just reissued Ye Nuns "Nun More Black" album on vinyl in a limited pressing of just 300 copies, so don't hang around if you haven't yet got a copy of this work of twisted Garage Psych genius. This reissue follows the original and now out-of-print 2014 release on Tuff Enough Records, which saw Ye Nuns faithfully reprise and update The Monks' one and only official long-player (1966's mind-blowing "Black Monk Time") to a swathe of critical acclaim. It also received the seal of approval from fellow Monks fan, the much-missed Mark E Smith from The Fall, someone not known for dishing out praise lightly. Even The Monks' original Bassist Eddie Shaw was suitably impressed and went on record to express his admiration for Ye Nuns album: "These songs have a personal significance to me and to see how someone else treats the material and expresses it, was a distinct pleasure and joy. I thoroughly enjoyed the album, it was fun – I laughed and pranced. It is such an honour to be able to have a part in this opera inside the cloister. Thank you, Ye Nuns!" You really can't get a much higher recommendation than that so please head on over to the Crocodile Records store to order your copy here.

On Friday, August 11 2017, New York officially became the first city in the country to establish a right to counsel! Mayor Bill de Blasio signed Intro 214-B in the Bronx making it a right for tenants facing evictions to have a lawyer in Housing Court!
This will mean that tenants no longer have to fear unjust evictions. This will mean that tenants no longer have to fear eviction as retaliation for organizing in their buildings or holding their landlords accountable. This will mean that we have more tools to fight gentrification. This is a victory for all of New York.
The City took a stand to say that tenants will no longer be forced to navigate the courts without representation and that they will be protected. Today is a huge step forward towards creating a more equitable and just city.
Together, we built the power, strength and organizing to make this happen! ¡Si se puede, si se pudo y si se podrá!
To celebrate, CASA's Solidarity Board launched a fundraising drive to celebrate the leadership CASA members took on behalf of tenants across NYC and to continue to lead these kinds of groundbreaking fights for justice. Join them by donating HERE!
A huge thank you and congratulations goes out to all the members of the Right to Counsel Coalition for your tenacious and principled organizing and Intro 214-B co-sponsors Councilmembers Mark Levine and Vanessa Gibson for your steadfast championing of our bill!

Member since December 2014
Movie Score

I am a contributor in Greek movie titles. The title entries i create or i make changes to, ALWAYS have the original (by the studio) official title given by the Greek distributor. For example the title "Captain America: Civil War" in Greek has been officially named by the distributor "Captain America: Εμφύλιος Πόλεμος". Someone went on and changed that title to "Κάπταιν Αμέρικα: Εμφύλιος Πόλεμος" which is WRONG, given that the distributor in Greece is the ONLY ONE capable of giving the original movie title for our home country (Greece). So changing that to what ever comes in mind or because it looked better by his opinion is simply wrong !!! Please don't change the titles i create to what ever comes in your mind. I only do official things and nothing fan made just for my convenience or because they looked better. I also ALWAYS add the full official info's of a movie title, like for example: the Greek release dates, synopsis, movie trailers, posters, alternative titles, e.t.c given ALWAYS from the official distributors in Greece. So please don't change my entries please. I think i am fair enough by asking this as more politely i can possibly can, given the fact that i have spend a lot of time and effort in this website contributing, for someone else coming and destroying all i have done. THANK YOU for reading. * P.S I am also the official contributor for Greece in the website http://www.blu-ray.com for the Greek titles, and also the official moderator for the Greek movie titles in the forum http://www.avsite.gr *for whom it may concern

Can't Choose A Gift? Here Is How To Find The Perfect Holiday Gift For Anyone
One of the most wide-spread traditions in this world is gift-giving. This is an especially hot subject during the holiday season, but is stays highly relevant throughout the entire year. Birthdays, weddings, births, anniversaries, new houses, dinner parties, and of course holidays, are all occasions that usually require us to search, decide on and buy gifts.
There is no lack of holiday (and other occasions) gift guides, and there are plenty of places to find ideas or buy gifts online, but even when you finally make that decision, how do you know if it's the right one? Wouldn't it be awesome if your friends could choose their own gifts, without it losing its festive "gifty" feeling?
What Is Wantful?
Wantful is a beautiful and original gift giving service. It learns about your occasion and the recipient of the gift, offers a list of gifts which you can customize until perfect, and then sends the catalogue to the lucky person who can choose their gift from their own personalized gift catalogue, and get it delivered to their doorstep.
Sounds too good to be true? It gets even better. The service will only cost you as much as you choose to pay for the gift. No service charges and no fees. For now, the service is only available for shipping in the US (the buyer can be from anywhere), but the developers promise international shipping in 2012.
Getting Started
To get started with Wantful, you'd have to either log in using a Facebook account, or create a Wantful account through the website.
If you log in using Facebook, you'd have to authorize Wantful to access your Facebook account. Wantful will then pull birthday information from your Facebook friends, and insert them into your Wantful account automatically. You can, of course, not use Facebook, and create your own events.
Once you're signed up, simply click "Get Started Now" to create your gift catalogue.
Helping Wantful Choose Right
According to the information you give it, Wantful will present you with a list of gifts your friend/family member/colleague should love. The more questions you answer, the better those recommendations will be.
Start by giving it some basic information, such as the occasion, the person's name, age and gender, and how he or she is related to you. Wantful will then launch into a set of questions which you are not obliged to answer. Answer as much as you want or know, and continue onto the next step. I went through the process with an imaginary recipient whom I appropriately dubbed "friends".
For example, Wantful would like to know about Friends' living conditions.
What kind of home would they find attractive?
What do they think about music, food and technology?
What range of styles are they more likely to go for?
The questions are easy and fun to answer. When you're done supplying all the information you know and wish to give, you can continue to the actual gifts.
Creating The Gift Catalogue
Now it's time to really get into it. The first crucial thing you need to decide is how much you want to spend. You can't choose any amount; you need to decide between the 7 possible amounts Wantful offers ($30, $50, $75, $100, $150, $250 or $500).
You can then browse the list of gifts Wantful recommends, read about them, view more pictures and decide whether they should be on the list or not. If you decide a certain item shouldn't be included, simply click on the "Replace This Item" button.
If you do this, you will be presented with a nice list of substitutes, from which you can choose a new gift for the catalogue.
After you're done customizing it, and you feel the gift catalogue is perfect, all that's left is to design it and send it!
Finishing Up
A personalized gift is not the same without a personalized holiday gift wrap. Wantful offers a good number of design options for your catalogue. Choose a cover, add names and a short message, and voila!
And here is the cool part. If you wish, you can pay only the gift's cost for the whole thing. Simply have the catalogue emailed to your friend and you're done.
If you want to take it one step further, you can mail a nice printed catalogue via regular mail for ~$10 extra. The mailed catalogue will arrive after no more than 7 days, but during the holiday season the catalogues are rushed, and may take as little as 2 days to arrive.
Wantful Dashboard
While Wantful is a very useful service for the holiday season, it can and should be used year round. When you log into your Wantful account, you can access your dashboard where you can create new gift catalogues, add events to remember and view your in-progress gift catalogues.
Receiving Gifts
When you or your friends receive a Wantful gift catalogue, all you have to do is go to the Wantful website and enter the code from the gift book.
If you already have an account, the gift you received will also appear on your dashboard.
Bottom Line
Wantful is one of the best designed and most original web apps I've seen in a while. The idea behind it is fantastic and using it is a delight. The service is relatively new, and more gift options will be added with time, as well as additional shipping options.
Have you tried Wantful and want to share the experience? Do you know of some other helpful holiday gift-choosing services? Let us know in the comments!

Being a plucky, charming teen in 1980s Chicagoland sounds like a bowl of cherries. Your parents are as observant as a basket of blind kittens, your principal's efforts to make you repeat your senior year are constantly stymied, and your best friend doesn't suplex you through a coffee table no matter how consistently you ruin his life. Consequences don't exist! Yours is a life charmed by trickster gods, and your very existence will be used as evidence of humanity's crimes in an alien tribunal!
Occasionally, though, you will make mistakes, and they will catch up with you. You have perched countless ice buckets above the doorframes of your life, and it will be a freezy day indeed when you drop your guard, Ferris Bueller. You can't hack into the MS Dos database of karma itself and undo your failings. Here's the highlight reel of your biggest mistakes.
Leaving Principal Rooney Alive
Mr. Rooney is a haunted man. The best day of your life, with the parade floats and the makeouts with Mia Sara, was the genesis of his villainous backstory. When he's sitting on the school bus next to the weird kid with the pocketful of gummi bears and "Oh Yeah" by Yello is thrumming in the background, he's plotting sweet vengeance. He's the Javert to your Jean Valjean, and he will hunt you down, even unto the cellars of hell. Principal Rooney can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until you repeat your senior year.
Not Compiling Blackmail on Jeannie
If anybody knows where all the bodies are buried, it's the formidable Jeannie Bueller. This pastel nightmare has been the only one savvy enough to see through your nonsense, and yeah, she may have come around to your side at the end out of sibling fondness, but she is waiting, like a spider. As she told Charlie Sheen at the police station, she's watched you get away with murder your whole life. She has grown a bumper crop of resentments, and come harvest time, she will...drown you with...fruit, and this metaphor fell apart at the end -- much like you're gonna fall apart once Jeannie decides to bring her knowledge of your sins to bear. The only sensible option is mutually assured destruction, and you could have spent your time categorizing the skeletons in Jeannie's walk-in closet, but nope, you thought it would be a better idea to spend time learning how not to play the clarinet. For God's sake, Ferris.
You Don't Understand Cars at All
"Drive the car in reverse to take miles off the odometer"? You're willing to steal a car with your friend, turn the Chicago suburbs into a cracked game of Mario Kart, leave the Ferrari in the hands of evil goblins, and prop a car with madly spinning wheels up on one flimsy tire jack? Any decision you make involving cars should be banned by the Geneva Conventions. When you said "A man with priorities that far out of whack doesn't deserve such a fine automobile" about Cameron's father, you were talking about yourself, Ferris. Your parents giving you a computer instead of a car was the most astute thing they ever did, because perhaps they could sense somewhere deep down that you are a murderer. A murderer of cars.
Pretending to Be Sloan's Father and then Making Out With Her
Gross. That's gross, Ferris. Jesus Christ.

Kenyan Soldiers Train, Prepare for Civil Affairs Mission
Nineteen Kenyan Army engineers from multiple units finished a five-day civil affairs field training exercise at the Amani Peace Operations Training Village in Embakasi, Kenya, October 21.
The soldiers participated in a series of scenarios designed and implemented by an instruction team made up of seven engineers from the Kenyan Army and facilitated by five U.S. Army soldiers from the 402nd Civil Affairs Battalion attached to Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa. The exercise covered topics such as key leader engagements, assessing village structures and settling tribal disputes.
"We train hard, so we can fight easy. This training is important, especially now because our army is deploying," said Lieutenant Kenneth Rujema, a Kenyan Army engineer previously trained in civil affairs. "We need to have good relations between civilians and military so that commanders on the ground can focus on operations."
The training was focused on Kenyans communicating with one another to navigate various difficult civil affairs scenarios.
"It is important for our soldiers to know how to interact with civilians and know how to approach permissive, hostile and uncertain environments," Rujema said.
The week of practical exercise followed two weeks of civil affairs class room instruction aimed at preparing the Kenyan soldiers for situations that may occur during deployment missions.
"In the class, it's all theoretical on paper. Out here it's nerves and reaction; that's what counts when you're on a mission," said U.S. Army Captain Enilda Flores-Cabrera, 402nd Civil Affairs Battalion training team chief and mission commander. "When you get to the practical, you see how people are actually going to react, how people are going to conduct themselves."
"Civil Affairs is important in every climate," said Flores-Cabrera. "We use negotiation, mediation and assessment to get a better understanding how to approach the issues, how we can solve it and how we can help."
Local Kenyan civilians were employed as role players to act out the scenarios at the training village. This helped simulate the unpredictability and uncertainty of actual civil affairs missions.
"The actors were very important to the training," said Flores-Cabrera. "They made each situation as authentic as possible."
After the weeklong training, Kenyan Army engineer Nyambane Ezra said he would be able to employ this training in real-world situations.
"I learned about communication techniques to build relationships and gain the confidence of civilians," said Ezra. "The tools of communication assist us in undertaking operations."
After finishing the practical exercise, the Kenyan and American soldiers traveled to Thika, Kenya, where the students used their knowledge to engage in real civil affairs missions with the local population.

We live in a dangerous world, with perils within and without and above and below and people actively plotting the destruction of one another in caves and war rooms and board rooms and whatnot.
But what if the evildoers and the Great Satans, the bloodthirsty enemies of all that is true and good, the people who plan and execute earth-shaking deeds of infamy that terrorize we innocents, were, despite all that is reprehensible about them, bumbling idiots?
That is the central conceit of "Four Lions," a dense, sharp, hilarious and unflinching film about a group of British Muslims who seek to shock the world with an apocalyptic act of jihad but are too dumb, contentious and accident-prone to succeed at anything much more audacious than ringing a doorbell and running.
You want dumb? How about the ingenious plan of one of these would-be terrorists: to bring the West to its knees by blowing up the internet? How about the demolitions expert whose dream project is to arm and train crows as suicide bombers? How about the angriest of them all, the white, Anglo-Saxon convert to Islam who wants to destroy a local mosque to, get this, "radicalize the moderates"? If these aren't the most moronic conspirators in the history of dark movie comedy, they sure as heck are on a first-name basis with the title-holders.
There's a bit of a sit-com-ish feel to the writing of "Four Lions," so it comes as no surprise to learn that the director, Christopher Morris, and his three co-writers have enjoyed active careers in comic series on British television and radio. But they have made some crucial decisions in framing the comedy that make the film at least as disquieting and resonant as it is farcical. For one thing, the leader of the terrorist cell, Omar (Riz Ahmed), is a happily married working-class family man surrounded by normalcy at home and with, seemingly, no particular quarrel with British society or culture. More importantly, the ending, which would be unfair to reveal, reinforces the grave realities that lie beneath the comedy. Yes, it's amusing to imagine the Three Stooges running al-Qaeda, but remember just what it was that put al-Qaeda into your mind and the jokes might then seem rather pale.
What's gratifying about "Four Lions" is that it manages to tiptoe through the minefield -- almost a literal one -- that it lays out for itself, thriving on a back-and-forth momentum that skitters from worrisome turns of events to ludicrous outbursts and outcomes. Omar and his strongarm buddy, the deeply stupid Waj (Kavyan Novak) travel for terrorist training, which is a horrifying prospect, but prove as inept in a Pakistani boot camp as they are bumbling around the English midlands. Barry (Nigel Lindsay) talks ferociously about jihad and seems crazy enough to do anything, but he can't be bothered to maintain a getaway car in good repair or, really, to interrupt his life routines for the Armageddon of which he so fervently speaks. Faisal (Adeel Akhtar) seems whimsical and harmless pursuing his killer-crows idea, but those are real explosives he's using, remember.
It's a difficult trick that Morris and company are attempting in "Four Lions" (with the added layer that the script is filled with British and East Asian pop culture references and slang). But there's real verve and surprise in the writing, and the climax becomes excitingly double-themed: will the plan to disrupt the London marathon with suicide bombers dressed as cartoon characters pan out or be squashed, and will the film end as a comedy or drama? That you're invested in both questions until the final frames is a worthy achievement.

Skype and Nonprofits
Skype is a terrific tool. It is a software based phone that allows VoIP calls anywhere in the world. If you place a Skype call between computers--your computer and the computer of the person on the other end--the call is free. It costs pennies a minute to call to a cell phone or land line.
Skype will allow you to do video calling, share documents, and IM others on the Skype network.
How can a nonprofit use Skype? I think it can be particularly useful when working on collaborative projects. These projects could be technology based or not.
- Conference calls become free using Skype.
- If you have documents to share, they can be sent to everybody in the group by dragging and dropping into a Skype chat.
- Skype's chat feature allows you to see when others in your group are online--and potentially available to talk.
I use Skype pretty much everyday in collaboration with programmers and other project based colleagues.
For the purposes of the Nonprofits in Second Life group, it is used to keep the project leaders in touch with one another.
Paired with other tools, Skype can become a powerful--and free--tool in your virtual kit. It is a free download, works on MacOS, PC, and Linux.
Look me up, my handle is jmatthewsaunders.

The massive global adulation given to Nelson Mandela in the days following his death shows how much we are all influenced by the media and how brainwashed we have all become by political correctness. George Orwell's classic "1984" has come true – there seem to be few left who can think for themselves and not practice "new speak." Orwell preceded political correctness by over two decades, but saw it coming.
As I wrote Friday, most whites in South Africa think that Mandela helped avoid a bloodbath during and after the handover from white to black rule in 1994.
Now, having said that, let's look at some other facts:
- While in office, Mandela turned a blind eye to the excesses of other African presidents. South Africa's geographic position and its economic might can be used to achieve political goals in the region. The white National Party government of John Vorster brought down white-ruled Rhodesia. Mandela and the African National Congress could easily have brought down Robert Mugabe, but neither he nor his successors have done so. He even met with Mugabe and other despots and befriended them.
- Mandela was guilty of 156 acts of terrorism, resulting in the deaths of many people. He pleaded guilty to these acts – there is no doubt he authorized them. A century ago he would have been hanged for terrorism and never heard of again.
- In dismantling the white government, the result has been a 1,100% increase in the murder rate, the deaths of an estimated 68,000 whites including over 4,000 farmers, and a rise in crime that has everybody fearful. When I first visited South Africa in 1974, people I stayed with did not lock their doors. Now, they have bars on windows, high fences, electronic alarms, dogs and everything they can buy to protect them in their own homes. It should also be remembered that there have been far more black deaths. Black on black violence is a far greater problem and often goes unrecorded.
- Note the following list of Mandela's accomplishments sent from a South African friend. "The fruits of his takeover are mammoth unemployment; increased tension and conflict between the nine different black nations (each composed of several tribes); debasement of the currency by 700%; 8+ million illegal refugees from other African countries; an exploding crime rate; legalization of pornography, abortion, homosexual marriages, etc., which were previously banned by the white government … massive abuse of women and rape; break-down of law and order, and violence against farmers as happened in Rhodesia." All of these things would likely have happened with any African president, but there were clearly negative consequences when white rule ended, as there were everywhere else on the continent.
Additionally, there is great uncertainty about the future and has been for years. If Mandela stopped a wholesale massacre of the whites, his successors may not be able to do so for long. At some point, South Africa is likely to force land redistribution on the country in a bigger way, just as in Zimbabwe – more white farmers will lose their land. When Zimbabwe did that, there were serious food shortages, eventually made up by the importation of food from South Africa. When South Africa's food production drops by 90% as a result of similar land thefts, where will the food come from to feed the people? Whites are commercial farmers, while the native African population practice subsistence farming, growing only enough for their own needs.
The Wider Story
We need to understand the wider story here.
When I was in school, almost all of Africa was ruled by European powers, mostly the British and the French. Only Ethiopia and Liberia were never colonized by Europeans, with the result they were the poorest and most backward countries on the continent. That fact alone should make people take a second look at the colonial period.
The British Empire in Africa alone was bigger than the United States. Every colony and the dominion known as the Union of South Africa, were food exporters. Now, after five decades of independence, they are almost all food importers.
This was part of the blessings promised to the descendants of the patriarch Joseph, whose two sons were to "become a people" (the United States) and a "multitude of nations" (the British Empire and Commonwealth). (Genesis 48:19) The name Joseph means "God increases," a promise of physical prosperity to the patriarch and his descendants.
Other blessings that followed these white settlers were basic freedoms like freedom of religion and freedom of the press; the Bible itself; property rights; relatively efficient and responsive administration; the rule of law and an independent judiciary; plus a political system copied on Great Britain, which gave the various colonies the stability they needed to prosper. While these colonies existed they were a part of the western world, a major plus for the United States, which took over world leadership after World War II.
Decolonization ended all this.
It was followed by political instability, serious economic decline, a massive lowering of living standards for the ordinary people and a freefall in food production. But nobody in the West could say anything, cowed by political correctness.
Note what Ghanaian author George Ayittey has to say on this: "My criticisms of African governments were greeted with suspicion in North America and western Europe. I quickly learned that, in the United States, African leaders, especially those from black Africa, were viewed almost as saints. Blacks, having been enslaved and colonized in the past, could do no wrong. Criticizing African leaders, especially in the North American media, is often regarded as 'blaming the victim.' To do so is not "politically correct."" (Africa Betrayed, by George Ayittey, 1992, page xvi) Do you see now why you're not hearing anything negative about Nelson Mandela?
Political Correctness continues to this day. Nelson Mandela is the hero of the western, progressive, left-wing elite. No one from the present US Administration attended Mrs. Thatcher's funeral. No American president, either, attended Churchill's funeral – four will be present at Mandela's. Conservative Churchill was a relic of the Victorian age to them; Mandela was the future, symbol of the new multicultural 'rainbow' world dreamt of by the Fabians, John Lennon, JFK, Lenin and other influential men and organizations. Their dream is of one world government, where all races and all religions blend into one.
Of course, without Churchill, we would all be goose-stepping and speaking German. Hitler was the greatest racist of all – the Africans would have had no chance if he had conquered their continent. Churchill was the great imperialist – he inspired the peoples of the British Empire to fight as one against the Third Reich. The Empire no longer exists – what will Britain do next time there is a major threat to world peace from the continent of Europe or anywhere else?
What will Africa do if western countries can no longer send them aid? Having kicked out the white farmers, they will have serious food shortages.
Those of us who have lived in Africa have lived through the fall of the British Empire. South Africa was the last part to fall, in 1994, to the ANC and Nelson Mandela.
This is a major reversal for the modern Israelites, but they cannot see it for what it is. Political correctness and the cult of celebrity have, rather, made it all seem progressive for Africa and for the world.
But it's the slow fulfillment of the curses to come upon Israel, prophesied in Deuteronomy chapter 28, for their rejection of God. "You shall build a house, but you shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but shall not gather its grapes … the alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower." (verses 30 & 43)
Africa has gone out from under Israelite domination. So has Asia. All that's left are the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and some north-west European nations – and they are all well down the road that will lead them to the same gentile domination that has befallen Africa!

Jacksonville will need to contribute an additional $47 million for police and fire pensions
Jacksonville is facing an 61.3 percent increase in how much it will have to contribute to the Police and Fire Pension Fund, with the amount projected to top $122 million for each of the next three yeas.
That means the city's contribution will be equal to just over 80 percent of its unionized public safety payroll.
Last fiscal year, the police and fire fund received $75.6 million from the city.
The increase stems from a new actuarial valuation report that requires the fund to change several of the assumptions that help determine how much money it needs.

The end of one year and the beginning of another is often a time for reflection. Most people ponder breaking bad habits or making improvements in their lives. Have you considered making changes to your "genealogy life" - looking for ways to improve your research or perhaps expand your knowledge?
There are many ways in which you can shake up the way you currently do things, but also try something new. Here are 10 resolutions you can try for 2012 and all of them are fairly easy to achieve:
Making sure your research data, documents and images are secure is the first resolution because it is the most important. Do not put this one off! How many times have you heard about others losing a flash drive with all their research data, or having a hard drive crash?
Keeping a resolution to back up your data - genealogy data as well as other data - is a simple 3-step process:
For more information on backup plans, methods as well as tips and tricks, check out the data backup resources at GeneaBloggers.
While webinars really took off in 2011, you'll see them only become more popular in 2012 and beyond. Why? Two words: convenience and variety.
To view a list of upcoming webinars, check out GeneaWebinars.
If you don't already belong to a local or national genealogy society, consider joining one in 2012. Why? Many genealogy societies offer resources and services that can help you expand your research and your knowledge. Some of these resources are even available online in a members-only section. In addition, most societies offer monthly meetings with guest speakers focusing on a variety of topics.
And don't forget that a genealogy society doesn't have to be in your backyard for you to join! If your ancestors migrated from another part of the country, think about joining a far-flung society even if you can't attend meetings. You'll still be able to tap into the resources including newsletters, quarterlies and research databases.
For a comprehensive list of genealogy societies, check out Cyndi's List.
With the many self-publishing options now available, there 's no reason you shouldn't put your research into a printed format to share with family, friends and other researchers. Check out sites like Blurb, CreateSpace, Lulu or Stories To Tell to see how easy it is to create your own book, calendar or other printed item.
Worried about your writing skills? Don't be! There are a variety of sites and blogs that can help you improve your writing skills and offer writing prompts. For example, check out Better Writing Skills.
Your ancestors didn't live solitary lives - they were part of a community. So as a genealogist, why should you? Besides joining a genealogy society (see above), use message boards and social media to connect with other researchers.
GenealogyWise is often called "Facebook for genealogists" and offers a variety of ways to connect including groups, message boards and chat rooms. Also consider using Facebook to expand your genealogy network. Do this by searching for other genealogy groups and societies around a common interest. One example is RootsWeb: an entire Facebook community has emerged with RootsWeb fans as members. They post news items, new resources and more to the Facebook group. Check them out on Facebook.
When thinking genealogy conferences, don't just consider the large national events such as RootsTech, the National Genealogical Society Family History Conference or the Federation of Genealogical Societies conference. There are many local events such as one day workshops or weekend conferences that you can attend. The best way to find these events is to follow local societies on Facebook or do a search on Google.
One way to learn how certain record sets work and how they can be used, is to help out with the indexing process. What is involved? Very often when a set of records like a census is digitized and made available online, the text needs to be converted to a searchable format. With handwritten records, this process cannot be automated easily. This is where volunteers come in - they read each line and transcribe what they see. The results are then captured and placed in a searchable database for other researchers to use.
The 1940 U.S. Federal Census Project (the1940census.com.) is one such project where your skills, and skills of thousands of others, will be needed. The 1940 US Federal Census images will be hosted right here at Archives.com and made available for free on April 2, 2012. Sign up now and also see if your local society has organized their own indexing group focusing on population schedules from your local area.
Recent statistics show that a majority of beginning genealogists perform most or all of their genealogy research online using sites like Archives.com. With a high convenience factor and a wide range of resources, online research can often lead to the perception that almost everything I available online.
The truth is that there are more resources that have not yet been digitized and they are waiting for you to get out and find them. Locate a local FamilySearch Center or archive or library. Check in with the staff - they are there to help you succeed. Chances are you'll not only find new information about your ancestors, but you may even be able to network with other researchers in person!
Here's another resolution that you should not put off until later in the year: sit down with a living relative and conduct even just a basic interview. Besides the basic questions about how and where they grew up, ask them about their own parents and grandparents. Gather names, dates and places.
A good technique is to present a family photo and ask if they remember the people in the photo, when and where it was taken and what was going on with the family at that time. Very often a photo will offer the prompt to get a relative to open up instead of answering a series of questions.
For a modern twist on the family interview, check out sites like 1000memories, StoryTree.Me and Tpstry. You can not only store your interview notes, audio clips and photos but some will even offer questions and prompts to ask your relatives.
A closed hand is good for holding onto things but not for receiving new things. Take some time to give back to the genealogy community that has given you and millions of other researchers so much.
Volunteer with your local society. Assist with a cemetery survey. Digitize and transcribe a record set. Answer questions on a message board. Teach a class on your area of genealogical expertise. Mentor a beginning genealogist.
Not only will you be making a valuable contribution, but you might be surprised at what you might receive in return.
Get off to a good start with your genealogy in 2012 - consider one, several or all of the above New Year's resolutions and shake up the way you've been doing things. By the end of the year you'll have not only a sense of accomplishment but - who knows? - you might just venture into a new area or pick up a new skill!

So are you aware of 1.6 being Blizzard friendly? Or has 1.6 been scrapped? Is there a "finger latency" addon that is popular/widely used?
|File: SnowfallKeyPress01-31-11
Posted By: Unforgyven
I was very impressed with Snowfall 1.4 however due to the new expansion it doesn't seem to be working properly. Is 1.6 soon to be available or is there another addon out there that will do the same thing to reduce finger latency? I've really enjoyed the use of this addon and hope to see 1.6 soon, but I need something in the mean time...

Stage 3: Soft Food
August 26, 2015
Turkey meatballs are great substitutes to regular beef meatballs as they are lower in calories per serving. Seasoned with basil leaves, garlic, pepper, and parmesan cheese give embodied flavors that marries well with chicken broth. You can make the meatballs a day in advanced and keep them in the freezer. You may substitute ground turkey with lean ground chicken if desired.
For Turkey Meatballs
1 lb of lean ground turkey
1 egg
½ cup of grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp of fresh basil, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of ground black pepper
For Broth
8 cups of low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup of carrots, peeled and sliced
1 cup of celery, sliced
¼ bunch of parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1Combine egg, turkey, Parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, salt and pepper in medium sized bowl.
2Shape the turkey mixture by hand into meatballs. Place shaped meatballs on baking sheet or plate. Let them chill for 30 minutes.
3While waiting for the meatballs to chill, bring chicken broth to boil, add carrots, celery, and onions. Reduce the heat and let it simmer semi- uncovered for 10 minutes.
4Add the chilled turkey meatballs. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Make sure the meatballs are cooked thoroughly.
5Stir in the parsley leaves.
6Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Re: iContact & iDialer & thumbCal on Touch Pro
ThumbCal works great. i have it mapped to open when I hit the events in TF3D

Re: iContact & iDialer & thumbCal on Touch Pro
Re: iContact & iDialer & thumbCal on Touch Pro
never got word back on what the diffrence was.
As for an update, I have installed icontact and love it (not the same version you have) but how do I make it the default contact manager? Right now i got it mapped to a key.
icalendar, also a great program, only complaint is that I cant set what time I want the reminder to go off for each appointment. I installed a "iphone" skin and i really like it, i have it now set as my default calendar
idailer, works well with icontact but when you hit the call button it goes back the standard call menu, is there a way to stay in idialier all the time or is this a must due to windows? I really dont care for the dark nature of the default skin, is there a way to re skin it?
Re: iContact & iDialer & thumbCal on Touch Pro
also, my iContact some times freaks out. If i dont "flip" with a light touch it goes into super search mode, letter by letter, problem is i think my sensitivity is really high because it happens really easy. To be honest I dont remember how to change this, or is this just iContact?
Re: iContact & iDialer & thumbCal on Touch Pro
I think i found how the registry edit to fix the touch sensivity, it was reccomended to bve at 300ish and mine was over 5k lol.
I guess I am the only person that uses these programs, no comments...
what program can i use that is more thumb friendly than windows sms and email system?
Re: iContact & iDialer & thumbCal on Touch Pro
This is actually one of the reasons I don't like this version and prefer Burt's(his doesn't have this option). Another reason I like Burt's is Burt's version has an option to show the actual windows task bar at the top(with all the icons and such. Ther are some other differences too(Burts shows the picture assigned to the contact, while the other one does not). One other thing I like about Burt's is if you go into a specific contact screen, you can use your finger and "slide" the screen off to the left or right to get back to the main list, like to you can with other parts of TF3D. I couldn't seem to do this in icontact 0.9. I had to always press the back arrow, to get back to the list.
The big thing is the icontact 0.9 is designed with speed in mind, Burt's sacrifices some speed for more visually appealing. I do like the groups wih icontact 0.9 tho. Just a personal preference tho.

Re: iContact & iDialer & thumbCal on Touch Pro
Anyone know how to make iContact the default contact manager or how my previous question on the iDialer not carrying over to the menu once a call is placed.
Re: iContact & iDialer & thumbCal on Touch Pro
Not sure about iDialer(don't use it) but for icontact, use a program called ssMaPa http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ghlight=ssmapa
After Init, in settings, replace POutlook. Check mark "Patch Enabled" and in the new program field, point it to /program files/icontact/icontact.exe (note to use FORWARD slashes "/", not "\"), then click SAVE. Then go into deploy and deploy patch and soft reset.
While you are in ssMaPa, you can also fix the Calendar issue with not starting on the correct view you select(if you select Day, Week, Month it will still end up on Agenda). Just do the same steps, but instead of replacing the program, just remove the $ from the Arguments field.

Target Debuts Jason Wu Collection With Full-Scale Parisian Street Scene
A clean white color palette may have dominated the look of the Jason Wu for Target preview event on Thursday night, but the design was far from simple. Looking to incorporate the designer's inspiration for the clothing line, Milu—the collection's feline mascot featured in the commercials—and its own stylish sensibility, the retail giant remodeled Skylight SoHo into a Parisian street scene with hand-painted wall illustrations, animated video projections mapped to three-dimensional façades, and window boxes overflowing with white roses. The experiential concept touched everything, extending from an entrance sign that read "bienvenue" and the tree-lined boulevard-like set up in the hallway to the seating area set inside a café and a boutique-style space that housed the night's shop.
To pull off the event, perhaps its most visual launch yet, the marketer collaborated with Wu and brought in production outfit Extra! Extra!.
"Jason's inspiration for the collection is an American girl in Paris, and we wanted to make sure we infused that concept into the event," said Joshua Carter, a spokesman for Target. "The idea was really to bring a touch of Paris in a way that was enchanting, not just in the decor but in the vibe. Jason was definitely involved in the creative elements and really provided insight and input on things that helped reflect the collection. Our team worked hand in hand with him from the concept to the styling to the musical talent to make sure that we embodied that spirit."
Focused on creating what Carter described as a "feminine and whimsical" version of Paris, the venue was divided into three separate, but interconnected environments, each inspired by places you might find on a French street. The main room, which was modeled after a classic town square and held a theatrical stage and bookstore, stood between two fully enclosed sections—a boutique-style shopping area and café-like seating space. The open-plan shop, which had an exterior marked by semicircular awnings and full-length windows, was dressed with white props, contrasting the bright colors of the collection. The café was equally as clean, embellished with white furnishings and antique mirrors.
To add a pop of color and movement to the overall look, the organizers mapped video projections of Milu to the façades of the buildings, highlighting the different architectural elements by programming the digital feline to look as though it was interacting with structures. In the store windows, live models replaced the typical mannequins.
To complete the Parisian motif, Callahan Catering passed hors d'oeuvres like miniature croque monsieurs and Beau Soleil oysters topped with vinegar and shallot pearls, while French pastry shop Ladurée served its colorful macarons from a stand. French electro pop group Yelle rounded out the night with a live performance that had guests, including the designer, bopping on the dance floor.

Lions' odds of winning Super Bowl improve
After all those lousy seasons, Detroit Lions fans have to reach for any bit of good news -- and they do. One of the first things my dentist said to me this morning is that he heard the Lions' odds of winning the Super Bowl were 35 to 1. And he was happy. Of course, he was happy.
The Lions are in the middle of the pack when odds makers look at next year's Super Bowl.
According to BoDog.com, the Lions are 50 to 1 shots to win Super Bowl XLVI along with the Washington Redskins and Oakland Raiders.
Bringing up the rear are the Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers, each at 100 to 1.
The top three favorites are defending champs Green Bay Packers (7 to 1), New England (8 to 1) and Pittsburgh (10 to 1).
So where were the Packers a year ago? In February 2010 they were 12 to 1 to win Super Bowl XLV which they just did. The favorite was the Indianapolis Colts at 13 to 2.

LINDA SHAWN—Ethel Mannin—Knopf ($2.50).
Christ keep the Hollow Land
All the Summertide;

Where the waters glide.
With William Morris' not notoriously intelligible verses Authoress Mannin captions the three sections of her novel, symbolizes the three phases of her heroine's career—summery childhood, cryptic girlhood, mystic womanhood. Linda's simple story, the details of her family's life on Shawn's farm, make a pretty picture to hang on a cottage wall.
