Someone suggested to me that for one of my posts I should examine the historical accuracy of costumes from movies set in the medieval era. So, as something fun, that is what I shall do. However, I do not think it is completely fair to critique a film's costumes on historical accuracy alone, for many designers choose to make costumes UN-historically correct for the purpose of the film. Therefore, I shall examine and give two ratings per movie: accuracy (based on clothing actually worn during the era portrayed) and relevancy (based on how well the costumes enhance the purpose and style of the movie).
Ivanhoe (1952): This movie is based on Sir Walter Scott's fictional novel. It is set in the 1190s during the reign of Richard I, more commonly known as Richard the Lionheart, and includes the character of Robin Hood. Overall it is a fun watch, combining medieval legends with historical facts.
Accuracy: 4 stars. Its costumes are actually very accurate. The men characters wear the tunics with looser sleeves and fur-edged mantles commonly worn during the period. The women wear the fashions brought into style by Eleanor of Aquitaine in the latter part of the twelfth century, fashions that were also common a century before. These included vertical tunics with fitted sleeves, girdles worn at the hips, cloaks, and veils worn around the neck and hair and topped with coronets. The colors used are also very accurate, with abundant blues, grays, burgundys, and earth tones. The one fault is that the women's gowns are very tight-fitting, whereas during that time they were much more loose, intending to accentuate the vertical. I also noticed that the crowns and coronets worn by both the men and women were worn incorrectly. They should be worn straight on top of the head so that they cross the forehead, but in the film they wore them tilted so that they centered on the back of the head.
Relevancy: 5 stars. I think for the purpose of this film accurate costumes aided in the portrayal of the story. It gives the entire plot a more genuine feel, taking the mystical and almost fairy-tale aspects out of the medieval legends. However, the small details that are not completely accurate allow the movie to retain the romantic ideal of the Middle Ages portrayed by Sir Walter Scott in his novel.
The Court Jester (1956): This is a very fun comedy set generically in medieval times. It includes singing, plots, a character resembling Robin Hood, wooing, bewitching, and plenty of tongue twisters. Although there is no specific century or year assigned, it is most likely modeled after the late 14th/early 15th century.
Accuracy: 3.5 stars. The costumes in the film are not the most accurate. They stem from a much more romanticized view of medieval times, castles, knights, and princesses. The colors are one aspect that show this view; not only are they much brighter and plentiful than they would be realistically (especially the pink), but they pervade almost every article of clothing. Historically, women's wimples and veils were almost always white or gray. In this movie, however, they usually always matched in color the gowns worn with them. There was also bountiful amounts of bare shoulders and uncovered hair. These things were not uncommon in the 1400s, but off-the-shoulder dresses were made in a different style than those shown in the film. Hair was usually contained in elaborate headdresses (which were surprisingly missing and I think they should have added more of), and if exposed was usually plaited or bound up. The male costumes were actually a lot more accurate; the extravagance of some of the male costumes (especially the jester's) matched the styles of the period. The king also managed to always be clothed in the royal colors of red, purple, and gold, (along with plenty of fur) which may seem stereotypical but was actually very appropriate in the period. Despite some inaccuracies, the general idea of the costumes was more or less correct and there were some details that were surprisingly accurate, including the girdles, coronets with veils, and cloaks lined with fur.
Relevancy: 5 stars. Although the costumes were very much exaggerated, they went together with the style of the film perfectly. The movie was definitely a parody/overplayed/extremely romanticized version of the middle ages, so of course the costumes fed this nicely. I thought the overall effect was very enchanting and did add to the humor and nostalgic feeling emanating from this movie. Also, since the movie is based generally on the middle ages and not a specific time frame from that era, the fact that the costumes were also generic and taken from a few different times added to the atmosphere.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975): This movie is a parody of the middle ages and the legends of King Arthur. The time frame can be assumed to be around 1350, the first time the black plague swept through England and wiped out a substantial amount of the population, because this phenomena is prevalent throughout the film.
Accuracy: 2.5 stars. Despite the fact that almost everything in this movie is over-the-top and completely ridiculous, the costumes are mostly painfully plain and simple, almost devoid of color. This is usually appropriate for the peasants, but the nobles and even upper-class would have worn clothing much more elaborate. It is obvious that the women's costumes especially had little attention paid to them. All of the styles are more similar to styles worn fifty years, even a century prior, especially the long, more shapeless gowns, circular coifs worn with chinstraps and wimples, as well as the straight unadorned tunics worn by the men. The helmets and armor worn by the knights are also of a very simple type that would have been worn around 1200, 150 years before the plague ever hit England.
Relevancy: 5 stars. Even though these costumes are not spot-on accurate per se, the movie is meant to be a farce and a play on modern views of medieval times, not a historical drama whatsoever. They are also not a very important part of the movie, as the point is not to establish the story in a specific time period (there are way to many modern references to make that even a theory) but rather to portray the Arthurian attributes of the story in a lighthearted way. I thought the costumes fit nicely with the tone and point of this film and are an interesting look into the way the modern media or pop culture views the middle ages.
Braveheart (1995): This movie is set during the Scottish rebellions around 1300, during the rule of Edward I "Longshanks." The story is centered on the bravery and leadership of the famous William Wallace, and though well-made with an interesting story, this film is notorious for being historically inaccurate.
Accuracy: 4 stars. Despite this movie's reputation for historical inaccuracy when it comes to events and people, the costumes are for the most part surprisingly correct. It is obvious that the costumes of the nobles were well-researched and well-made, for they usually correspond directly to the fashions brought into style around 1300, including Isabelle's hair cauls, veils, and gowns with both tight and trailing sleeves. The only fault would be that the princess's hip belts and girdles are more similar to those worn half of a century later. However, the peasants costumes are not quite accurate because the belted kilts worn by the main characters were actually not worn until the 1700s. They especially became popular then as Scottish nationalist costumes.
Relevancy: 5 stars. Correctness in costume really enhanced the atmosphere in the film and helped to make the highly fictionalized story more plausible and realistic-looking. I also thought the sharp contrast between the Scottish peasants' clothing and the English nobles' attire spoke volumes into the social conflict between the two groups, which was the basis for the entire story. Even though the peasants' costumes were not completely accurate, they better defined the differences between the Scottish and English and gave off a aura of "Scottish pride."
A Knight's Tale (2001): This movie is set in mid-14th century Europe during the reign of Edward III and contains his son Edward, the Black Prince of Wales, as well as Geoffrey Chaucer. It's a bit of a spoof of the middle ages, containing some aspects that are much more modern, but most of the elements are medieval in both culture and setting.
Accuracy: 2.5 stars. The male costumes are very accurate in this film, including the style of the armor and nobles' clothing. However, the costumes of Jocelyn and her maid are completely different from what medieval women would have worn during that time period. Their gowns obviously have much more of a modern influence, as do their hairstyles. Even the basic styles of their gowns are usually nowhere close to what women wore in 1350 (usually tight-fitting cotehardies with hip-belts, sometimes off-the shoulder, often with loose pelicons or cloaks worn over). Jocelyn's hair is often worn uncovered and styled in ways never seen in medieval times. Medieval women in that period usually wore headdresses with veils and if they left their hair uncovered it was almost always plaited in some form or fashion.
Relevancy: 4 stars. I really adore this movie, but the one thing that has continued to bother me were Jocelyn's costumes. They were so out of place that they became almost an eyesore. There were other modern aspects to the film, yes, including the trumpets producing sounds similar to electric guitars and the nike sign hammered on the armor (both of which I thought were quite clever), but they were much more subtle than her outrageous dress. While her costumes did support the modern aspects of the film, obviously had a lot of thought put into them, and helped her to "stick out," I think it would have benefitted the movie better if they had made her costumes more realistic and dropped the spiky hair and neon feathers (and she still would have stuck out against the backdrop of peasant's clothes almost prevalent throughout the film). Now that I think about it though, she would have fit right in a Star Wars movie…

Have you ever wondered why you don't see many stickers used to label discs anymore? Well, it's because using that kind of label can throw off the balance of the DVD or CD when it's in a player. This can cause your disc to either not play right or not play at all.
The best way to label a disc is either with a permanent marker or with a DVD/CD printer. If you have a printer, just keep in mind that you have to get printable discs. Otherwise, what you printed will smear right off.
If you have DVDs or CDs that you need duplicated, bring them in to AM Tech Video, Inc. Our local video production company has competitive prices and can take care of all the copying, printing and packaging you need!

7 tips for planning summer vacations as a single parent
When it comes to summer vacation planning, single parents face unique challenges that other parents don't need to worry about. These challenges could strain relations with your ex, so it's important to navigate your summer vacation appropriately.
Here are a few tips you'll want to keep in mind to ensure your summer vacation is an enjoyable experience for you and your kids:
-- Don't get into a power struggle: During the summer months, children will have more time for fun. If the other parent plans something, your reaction may be to say "no." Consider if it will be a good experience for your child and if your child will enjoy and base your decision on that. Don't get into a power struggle about what you think your child will be doing.
-- Keep with the routine: Did your child go to summer camp every year during your marriage? Maybe you think that this year should be different because now you're divorced and things aren't the same, and maybe it isn't as convenient for you to do a traditional summer activity this year. Whatever you decide, make sure your decision respects your child's interests, and do your best to keep as many of your child's summer routines as possible.
-- When the other parent is being difficult: It could be that you're doing your best to stay flexible, but the other parent is causing problems for your summer plans. Whatever you do, don't vent to your children. Keep your complaints about the other parent inside, or with a trusted friend. Complaining about the other parent will surely stress out your children and make them feel pulled from one parent to the other.
Nebraska parents planning their summer vacations may want to discuss their plans with a family law attorney to make sure that are appropriately informing the other parent. If, for example, the vacation is out-of-state, some parents could run into trouble with their custody agreement if they don't get permission from the other parent in a timely fashion beforehand.

In "Napolitano and the Decline of Berkeley" retired professor (and I think California regent for a while) Glynn Custred reviews the recent behavior of California's higher education administrators and faculty, then comes down on the side of Big Education breaking the social contract.
The long march of the authoritarian left has succeeded in capturing the institutions of higher learning, and they have imposed their anti-liberal and anti-intellectual agenda upon institutions that once supported a free marketplace of ideas. Illiberal administrations and boards of directors disregard the missions of the institutions they are charged with governing. These institutions are financed by student tuitions and fees, by donations from alumni, businesses, and philanthropic organizations, and by taxes, government subsidies, and tax-funded grants. Perhaps it is time to rethink our unquestioned support of institutions that are failing to fulfill their missions in so many ways.Precisely.

Many things have been suggested for the sake of our pleasure in sex; from sexy lingerie, to dirty talk, to BDSM "stuff" … and the list keeps going. Fairly usual, you might think. Yeah, I know – but no one ever denied that some of the usual stuff can really turn the heat up.
That being said, here's a classic one that brings conflict in conversations and tension in the bedroom: spanking. Whether it is the one on the butt or the one cheek, sometimes it derives from that wild side we all got hidden deep enough – and it comes out when the person opposite unleashes it. Or does this happen all the time?
I don't know the answer to that. All I know is, sometimes spanking gets us off; and it usually happens at the most random intimate moments. Whether you are having a quickie outside, or in a bistro bathroom, in the car, in a quiet park, at the beach … a small slap comes from nowhere, and man, the game is on. If it occurs in the beginning along with the foreplay, then of course you have to get your revenge. You get more aggressive, you just want squeeze the hell out of your beau; let's not forget the biting folks! Don't tell me you don't want to do it- it's part of this beautiful and raunchy revenge. Hair gets tangled, your skin bruises, your eyes shine with passion and lust, and of course you can't get enough of it. Imagine this scene now anywhere outside, not in your bedroom. (Did you just raise your eyebrows?) I know, I know. This is part when you just pull them by their hair.
And the pace just quickens, and quickens even more. Whether you're making noise or you're on complete silent mode, it doesn't matter. What matters is, at that moment, the only thing that crosses your mind is how unbelievable it is that this person is inside of you. But it's not that sweet love making; at least not for now. It's the time of complete domination, and in this case, of male domination.
And we like it when you fellas get to be the alpha males, instructing us what to do, keeping us at your mercy. We also like it when we're asking you to do so. Maybe once, or more if you have a habit of doing it, you may hear the words "I want you to spank me."
Some of you may think it's a bit violent, or completely out of your style. But we're not talking about violence here, only sex and passion. Just keep mind the saying "Make love, not war". It's about the exchange of power, between the two partners. Sometimes it's just one partner having all of it and doing anything with it. Whatever that is, who doesn't like it, or even care about what it is?
Who would say no to their beau wanting to make them "suffer" with pleasure? My bet is that there'll be very few people not wanting that, and this is okay. After all, we shouldn't forget personal preferences. Some like it raw, steamy, wild and passionate and with a bit of spanking to get the tension going on. They like the surrender, the screaming, the intensity of lust. Others like it slow, sensual, and tender. They long for the sweetness, the kisses that come in between, the gazing, the low lighting in the room. Every move is careful, attentive and follows a specific path.
Beautiful isn't it?
And what makes it even more beautiful, is the moment when you find someone that brings out both the wild and sensual out of you simultaneously.

The Deputy Director General at NHO, Ole Erik Almlid received more than 50 members of BNCC in their premises in Oslo. Almlid welcomed the Norwegian ambassador to Brazil, Nils Martin Gunneng, Chargé d'Affaires Silvana Polich, the chamber of commerce and its members.
Gunneng has been the ambassador in Brazil since last September. He shared his impressions with the audience regarding the Norwegian government strategies and highlighted that Norway has a profound interest in Brazil. In one hand, the bilateral trade between Brazil and Norway is not massive, on the other hand, Norway is a very significant investor in Brazil. The Norwegian government has invested US$ 1 billion to the Amazon Fund, and together with private investments sums almost US$ 28 billion. With such a significant investment, Norway believes and has the interest to witness a more harmonious and prosperous Brazil in the future.
The ambassador indicated that Brazil and Norway are incredibly different in the balance of power and that he recognizes some critical events in Brazil. Gunneng mentioned that the Lava Jato ("Car Wash") corruption investigation task force is still on while the Brazilian people is openly adressing the subject. As pointed in his presentation, this process that Brazil is facing recently might be painful, but these steps are vital to transparency. Corruption is not a Brazilian problem, says the ambassador, it is a global issue and what makes the difference is the way you deal with it. Two weeks ago, Gunneng attended the report launch of Transparency International in São Paulo, along with Brazilian businesses which are changing their operations model and board structures in order to be more transparent. He affirmed that the Norwegian Government has zero tolerance for corruption and thus, a more transparent Brazil is an advantage to Norwegian companies.
In the business perspective, the ambassador spotted Brazil's skepticism to foreign ownership. According to him, a Norwegian company can bring much more than investments to Brazil. Besides the know-how and the technology, Norwegian companies can potentially contribute with their strong values, such as zero tolerance for corruption, gender equality, security and safety and environmental protection. Plus, Brazilian companies owned by Norwegians also generate taxes to the country, concluded the ambassador.
He also briefly talked about the political scenario, that may present risks to the reforms agenda. Nevertheless, executive authorities continue to push for the approval of the reforms, which may be postponed until after elections which are set for October. The ambassador listed possible candidates but made it clear that it is still early to know who will run for the presidency.
The president of BNCC, Harald Martinsen reinforced the Ambassador's observation concluding that "what is good for Brazil is also important and good for Norway". He highlighted some common points between the two nations, as the dependence of raw materials and commodities price. Moreover, Martinsen pointed out how important is the role of autonomous and competent institutions in Brazil.
Chargé d'Affaires, Silvana Polich followed the ambassador's presentation. She added the approved constitutional amendment imposing strict rules limiting increases in public expenses for 20 years. According to Polich this is a key step towards the stabilization of public debt in the medium term. She also mentioned how the current momentum of the global economy is positive to Brazilian economic growth.
Plus, the Chargé d'Affaires mentioned the political perspective, signalizing that the relationship between Executive and Congress has improved. Environmental legislation is in place. She also agrees that it is still too early to discuss the Brazilian elections but assumes the possibility of an apparent polarization between right and left wings in the pre-campaign.
In conclusion, a Q&A session took place, and the diplomats addressed some subjects brought by the audience.

Good it is an ideal time for a meeting because at this time people are mentally active and fresh. They can give the basic and brilliant ideas by using the resources that are available at a time. I also attending this kind of meetings that prove very successful for office management and for office work.

Most movies are not only fiction but take place with plots and occurrences and even locations that can't exist in the real world. While these diversions can certainly be highly entertaining I tend to be drawn to movies that either tell the stories of what real people experience or at least tell a fictional story not unlike the real-life experiences of millions of standard folk. These are the movies that pique my interest and are most likely to delight me.
"Larry Crowne" is such a movie, a land of opportunity story similar to the real-life experiences of millions of Americans. Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) is a divorced 20 year Navy veteran proudly working in a big box store for which he takes ownership by his loyal enthusiasm. Set years ago during the great recession, Crowne is "downsized" out of his job. Like so many millions of others at that time he's upside down on his house payment and unable to find a job even with his enthusiastic pursuit. His next-door neighbor Lamar (Cedric the Entertainer) directs him towards getting a college education by handing him, and trying to sell him, a (free) local community college schedule.
Larry enrolls in college and upon a dean's direction enrolls in three courses: speech, writing and economics. His brain expands as he seriously jumps into his courses. He develops real skill in speaking to an audience in, "The Art of Informal Remarks," taught by Mercedes Tainot (Julia Roberts), who is burned out both with teaching and with marriage (you can see part of where this is going, since it is a romantic comedy).
In Dr. Matsutani's (George Takai) economics class Larry gets a wake-up call about his real financial situation and the wise though unpleasant moves he must make. Among many economists' terms he learns to use, the phrase, "a strategic foreclosure," has practical utility. His social life expands as he encounters a wide variety of folk so typical of what one encounters today in thousands of community colleges across the land, from kids not even clear why they are there to middle agers who are desperately focused on redirecting significant areas of their life trajectory.
The movies that please me most usually have some memorable quotes that get my attention. Here are some examples.
Larry bemoans having two years ago at his divorce bought his wife's half of the house at its pre great recession value, and Cedric responds:
"I told you how to avoid divorce lawyers. You get married and you stay married."
On the subject of his life trajectory being completely overturned by these events beyond his control:
"You are starting over. Manifest destiny has led you someplace else."
And in response to the nonsensical reason Larry was given as to why he was let go:
"The man wanted you gone."
In tough love verbal prods from fellow faculty member and friend Frances (Pam Grier) to Mercy, trudging through divorce and career disillusionment,:
"There's not a woman in the world that has not been standing where you are right now."
"When a man shows his true colors that's when a woman has to make the decision to go or no go."
From Larry, speaking of the delightful free spirit Talia who has so uninvitedly impacted his life for the better:
"She's a unique bundle."
Larry responds to Mercy's late-night inebriated poor impulse control:
"It's now time for both of us to do the right thing."
And then when much later she thanks him for keeping that to himself his response is:
"I can keep a secret."
Mercy, "Gentlemen do".
In Larry's speech to the class he gives a very appropriate George Bernard Shaw quote:
"A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, art into pedantry. Hence University education."
In addition to making money, movies are made with a variety of motivations. If one of the goals of this movie was to, almost stealthily, stimulate in the viewer an interest in the possibilities offered by your local community college, then it is highly successful. I found it a light, very enjoyable and refreshing movie from beginning to end. I love the very optimistic message that wherever you are in life, if your body and mind can still function you can redirect and create a far better life for yourself. And in the process you can influence others in the same direction. Way to go Lance Corona, er, Larry Crowne!

Borgen is the hit Danish tv show, about Birgitte Nyborg, the fictional first female Prime Minister of Denmark, and leader of the centrist Moderate party. After huge gains in the recent election due to their principled stand in the leaders' debate, they start a coalition of the progressive left.
Considering this is a situation Liberal Left would most definitely approve of… why haven't they bothered actually watching the show?
The new Liberal Democrat pressure group, Liberal Left have come in for a lot of criticism this week. Stephen Glenn critiques their founding statement and compares it to our Constitution, claiming that we are neither Left Liberal nor Right Liberal but Liberal, and Andrew Emmerson questions their, frankly, bizarre appropriation of Gladstone's name. Both good articles.
Personally, I consider myself of the left of the Liberal Democrats. I am a member of the Social Liberal Forum, indeed, I'm on the East Midlands Steering Committee as Nottinghamshire representative. I am opposed to some coalition policies – the Welfare Reform and NHS bills are of great concern to me, and tuition fees was a PR nightmare. Honestly, I'd rather work with Labour than the Tories – I'm Welsh and still shudder unintentionally whenever Thatcher's name is mentioned. I should be an ideal Liberal Left member.
So why aren't I willing to join Liberal Left?
The answer goes back to Borgen.
(Yes, I am slightly obsessed with the show. I am seriously considering calling the BBC every day until they show Season 2.)
The show's second episode, Count to 90, was all about Nyborg's quest to find 90 parliamentarians to join a Moderate-led coalition. It's the way she went about this that interests me.
Various factions of the party drag Nyborg around – Bent Serjrø, her experienced Deputy, calls the Conservatives a natural match, and tries to shut out Labour, whereas we can perhaps assume Nyborg herself is on the left of the party, due to her close friendship in her youth with the leader of the extreme-left Solidarity Party, Anne Sophie. So, does she immediately tell Labour she's only willing to work with them?
No way.
The first party she talks to, after Labour stands her up, is the Freedom Party – the fictionalised Danish version of, essentially, the BNP. What possible set of circumstances could lead to centrist, liberal Moderates and neo-Nazi Freedom going into coalition together? Surely these discussions are doomed to fail?
Nyborg doesn't care. She has drawn up a plan for cooperation for every party in the Folketing (Parliament).
"This is a new government. Everyone gets a chance."
It doesn't matter what your personal preferences might be. It doesn't matter which wing of the party may be stronger, or more influential. Every party should have a chance in a new government.
I was particularly proud of the Liberal Democrats in 2010, dispatching envoys to both Labour and the Conservatives – willing to work with either party, in order to create a coalition government. We placed Britain's need for a strong government in difficult times ahead of preference between them. Perhaps some were more naturally inclined towards the centre-Right, but, I don't believe, fundamentally altered our position.
Liberal Left would prevent this. By trying to drag us only in one direction, it denies the nature of Coalition politics. Sometimes unhappy marriages are made, in order to preserve national unity and strength. But these marriages must be made.
We must be prepared to work across the political spectrum – with left and right – in future governments. It's why I'm glad the Social Liberal Forum "rejects any electoral pacts with any party and any pre-election preference for future working with any other party". By limiting us to work with Labour and the Greens, the Liberal Left deny the nature of the coalition politics to which Liberal Democrats should find themselves naturally accustomed, and the group claim to want to work within.
Working only with the "left" will also limit our chances at getting into government again, in order to press forward with social liberal policies – can we imagine a Tory-majority government legalising equal/gay marriage? Or pushing forward the Pupil Premium?
It will also be divisive and counter-productive. I am fully expecting to see on Twitter that the so-called "Orange-Bookers" will coalesce into a coherent and organised group, even forming a pressure group, in order to work more with the Conservatives and Classical Liberals, than the democratic socialist/social democratic liberals in Labour and the Greens.
This is also fine. While I'm not fond of the Tories, if the party finds it better to work on that side, then so be it. If groups are formed in reaction to Liberal Left, so be it – but I prefer if neither were But I retain my right to push forward a social liberal agenda in that coalition.
The SLF is better understood, not in the context of the Liberal Democrats, but in terms of the coalition – we are not there, in my mind, to balance out the Orange Bookers or Cleggites. We're there to balance out that fringe of the Conservatives who want to vote down gay marriage, who write letters attacking wind farms, who value growth at the cost of irreparable environmental damage.
After all this, don't think that my views on Liberal Left are entirely negative – personally, I would rather have seen a rainbow coalition after the 2010 General Election, from the Liberal Democrats, Labour, Greens, Alliance, independents, and the Left Nationalists of the Celtic fringe (Plaid and the SNP). But the numbers of this, to be fair, losers coalition didn't work – besides, the Moderates of Borgen weren't the largest party but the party with the greatest increase in seats. They had the people's will behind them, and thus the Queen gave them powers to investigate a coalition. In 2010, this was clearly the Tories, with both us and Labour losing seats. The Tories were the people's chosen party, not quite chosen enough, but chosen. To join with them, to moderate them, was the right, and only, thing to do.
I am content to have this pressure group exist and I hope it will provide a draw to certain members who defected to Labour, and particularly the Greens, after we went into Coalition with Cameron's Conservatives.
But frankly, the Social Liberal Forum could easily have fulfilled such a role, critiquing the necessary coalition from a socially liberal standpoint, forged links across the broad socially liberal spectrum (including liberals among Rightist parties), and not been nearly – despite the near constant accusations – as divisive as a group which specifically aims to drag us inexorably into Coalition with Labour.
Liberal Left deny the nature of coalition politics, reality, and our own nature as a party.
Social Liberal Forum offer the same critique, while acknowledging the reality of 2010, builds bridges across the political spectrum and pushes for socially liberal policies in government.
And, we actually watched Borgen.

Divorcing God- Secularism and the Republic
"Societies decay when their foundational principles erode" Dr. Robert George
Our country was founded on Christian principles. It was not founded on one specific Christian denomination, but on the basis of the Biblical Christianity. The American republic is in trouble if we do not return to those founding principles.
History proves that no nation can survive if it abandons its morals.
With quotes from notable figures such as Ben Franklin, C.S.Lewis, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and more, we hear again and again our liberties are a gift from God.
There has been a cultural decay through history of nations. The same symptoms are found in each of the nations that have fallen.
1. Huge Government Bureaucracy
2. Disregard for the institution of marriage
3. Ease of attaining a divorse
4. Sexual promiscuity
5.Low birthrate due to abortion and contraceptions
We need to take our faith with us, and not submit to what others tell us we have to think. We have to fight to preserve our founding principles.
This documentary from American Family Studios is roughly 30 minutes in length. Perfect addition to your high school student's government class. The rich history and the various scholars who speak give it relevance today, to act quickly.

Martin Shkreli has hit back at Ghostface Killah in smugly threatening video
Martin Shkreli has hit back at Ghostface Killah in smugly threatening video
Right when we thought this week's hip-hop beefing had reached peak bonkers, this goes and happens.
Remember Martin Shkreli, the pharmaceuticals CEO that rocketed the cost of an AIDS drug from $13.50 per tablet to $750 overnight, then got arrested for fraud, and then had his Twitter account spectacularly hacked later that week? Well, the unrelenting douchebag, who yesterday had the music world up in arms when it was reported he was toying with the idea of breaking his one-off Wu-Tang album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, has just made that Kanye versus Wiz Khalifa argument look like a playground spat.
In response to being called a "sh*thead" and "the Michael Jackson nose kid" by Wu-Tang member Ghostface Killah, 32-year-old Shkreli has made his ballsy comeback with a scathing video in which he disses the rap star as an "old man who's lost his relevance", even threatening to erase him "from the record books of rap" by cutting Ghostface from the special album he, and nobody else, owns.
Unfortunately for Shkreli, his clear attempt at becoming a real-life Lex Luthor all feels a little...funny. He fumbles his lines, and accidently refers to the 45-year-old hip-hop icon as Ghostface even though he's promised to call him by his slightly less scary "government name", Dennis. The menacing (and clearly paid-off) goon squad backing him up only highlights how out-of-his-depth he is when it comes to trash talking with gusto.
Check out the Ghostface Killah and Shkreli vids below.
Shkreli coughed up $2m to get his mitts on the one-off Wu-Tang Clan album,Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, last year. The 31-track double EP, which had reportedly been in the works since the late 90s, is a single-sale collector's item unavailable to the general public.
It's not only Ghostface Killah that thinks ill of the 32-year-old pharmaceuticals CEO. He was recently called "a spoilt brat" by presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Shkreli is currently out on bail and faces a possible 20 years in prison if found guilty of charges relating to securities fraud.
Here's hoping he doesn't get locked up with a die-hard Wu fan...
And there's the original video from Ghostface.

text: CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- In a joint optical remote-sensing program, scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Atmospheric Technology Div. and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Environmental Technology Laboratory, both in Boulder, Colo., collaborated on a month-long project to probe the atmospheric boundary layer. Fine-scale remote probing of this layer, the lowest above the Earth's surface, is used to learn more about thunderstorm generation, air pollution meteorology and exchange of gases and energy between the surface and the free atmosphere.In the project, dubbed LIFT (lidars in flat terrain), the researchers deployed three lidars at a University of Illinois field site to observe the high-resolution structures of aerosol, winds and ozone as the boundary layer evolved from early morning to late evening. All three lidars were housed in portable trailers on property owned by the University of Illinois. The site was selected because of its extremely flat terrain, which simplifies the planetary boundary layer processes, provides good aerosol scattering and because the site offers access to the nearby radar wind profilers operated by the NOAA Aeronomy Laboratory. Researchers will use the data gathered during the experiment to evaluate the combination of different types of lidar measurements for quantifying boundary layer height, turbulence, fluxes and entrainment.Included in the suite of lidars was NACP's scanning aerosol backscatter lidar (SABL) operating at 532 and 1064 nm, which provides vertical profiles of aerosol backscatter with very high temporal and spatial resolution. SABL uses an Nd:YAG laser with a doubling crystal to transmit 15-ns pulses of green and infrared light at up to 60 Hz. LIFT was the first ground-based deployment of this instrument.The laboratory's ground-based UV differential absorption lidar (DIAL), which provides vertical profiles of ozone concentration, was the second ground-based lidar. It is Nd:YAG-based and operates at 266, 289 and 355 nm. DIAL uses a three-beam transmitter and single receiver with each transmit beam overlapping the receiver field of view at a different altitude in order to measure ozone concentrations from ground level to 3 km with a range resolution of 15 m.Last in the trio is a high-resolution Doppler lidar (HRDL) operating at 2 µm. This system uses an injection-seeded Tm:Lu,YAG laser operating at 2.0218 µm. The pulse laser is acousto-optically Q-switched and double end pumped by fiber-coupled 785-nm CW laser diodes. While HRDL measures radial air motion along the laser beam, the full-hemispheric beam-scanning capability can be used in a variety of ways to obtain horizontal and vertical wind components and turbulence statistics with 30-m range resolution and centimeter-per-second velocity resolution.By combining the measurements from the different lidars, other information such as fluxes of heat and ozone will be obtained. LIFT was the third successful lidar field project accomplished by the two organizations.

World champion Michal Kwiatkowski wins Amstel Gold Race
VALKENBURG, Netherlands (AP) World champion Michal Kwiatkowski of Poland won a sprint to the line Sunday to take the 50th edition of the Amstel Gold Race.
Defending champion Philippe Gilbert, seeking his fourth title in the Dutch spring classic, broke away on the final climb of the Cauberg hill shortly before the finish and was followed by another of the pre-race favorites, Michael Matthews of Australia.
But neither man could shake off the peloton and they were caught on the final sprint as Kwiatkowski powered past them.
Alejandro Valverde of Spain was second and Matthews hung on to finish third. Gilbert crossed the line in 10th place.
''Winning in the (world champion's) rainbow jersey is such an amazing feeling,'' Kwiatkowski told Dutch broadcaster NOS.
He said he felt exhausted on the penultimate climb of the Cauberg, but his teammates assured him all the other riders were suffering equally as they rode through the rolling hills of Limburg province in the southern Netherlands.
''I was really suffering on the last lap,'' he said.
But he preserved just enough energy to stay close to Gilbert and Matthews as they tried to make a decisive break on the short but steep Cauberg. Matthews just managed to hang on to Gilbert's wheel, but both men used so much energy on the grueling uphill sprint that they could not hang on in the race for the line on the final flat section of road.
Kwiatkowski paid tribute to Etixx-Quick Step teammate and time trial specialist Tony Martin for sticking with Vincenzo Nibali toward the end of the race to ensure last year's Tour de France winner could not manage a solo break.
''He helped me a lot, and I'm really thankful to him,'' Kwiatkowski said of Martin.

Segni d'Infanzia e OLTRE is the international art and theatre festival dedicated to children and youngsters from 18 months to 18 years old! The festival was born as the main activity of the association Segni d'Infanzia, and it has the objective of involving young people but also adults, families and those who love arts and theatres. The festival pursues this goal by organizing a wide range of multidisciplinary events starring international artists: workshops, performances, shows, art tours and much more.
The idea at the basis of this festival created in 2006, which is both the vision and the mission of the event, is the idea that it is possible to offer young people a kind of quality artistic entertainment. Not just a simple recreational activity, but also an opportunity to foster creativity and fantasy and give to children the fundamentals on which they can process and develop their own artistic universe.
Every year the festival chooses a symbolic animal that will be both the icon of the festival and the main theme around which subjects and contents will
Segni d'Infanzia e OLTRE occurs between the last week of October and the first week of November. An event which will meet the interest of young and adults for its contents, but also a form of entertainment of cultural value which represents an opportunity of growth in an educational yet entertaining context.

Green Stats: 49
49 -- the percent of Americans who said they intend to make a green resolution for 2008 in a recent national phone survey.
75 -- the percent who said they are "very likely" or "somewhat likely" to reduce their home's energy consumption this year.
74 -- the percent who said they are likely to recycle more.
66 -- the percent who said they are likely to reduce household chemicals.
43 -- the percent who said they are likely to reduce their carbon footprint.
42 -- the percent who said they would carry reusable bags to the grocery store.
Some interesting takeaways from the survey, conducted by GfK Roper and released by Tiller, LLC: in general, the more involved or personally demanding an environmental responsibility, the lower the response. "Our desire for easy solutions relates to something we found in a survey we conducted on 'good works' at this time last year," said Tiller principal Traci Ayer. "Nine in 10 Americans say it's important to take actions in their personal lives (recycling, giving blood, conserving energy, etc.) to address social issues, but not nearly as many are actually doing so. We want to help, but between family and work, we're stretched thin. The easier we can make it for individuals to act on their good intentions, the better. There's a lesson in that for businesses looking to leverage the growing green sensibility."
Fifty-eight percent of Americans 18 to 24 said they would make a green New Year's resolution for 2008. That compares with 50% of Americans 50 to 64 and 40% of Americans 65 and up.
"There are, of course, shades of green. Younger respondents tend to be more environmentally focused than older ones," Rob Densen, Founder and CEO of Tiller, LLC., said. "We think that may be because they've grown up with heightened awareness of the environment and greater public discourse. Obviously, young people have a large stake in issues like climate change and sustainability of resources."
The telephone survey of 1,004 adults was conducted between December 7 and December 9, 2007 by the national polling firm of GfK Roper. All respondents were at least 18 years of age. The margin of error for the 1,004 interviews is +/-3.0%. ::PR Newswire via ::WorldChanging

My son's kindergarten teacher recently sent a link home called "19 Commandments From Maria Montessori to Help You Become the Perfect Parent." Now, I've long since given up the idea that I will ever be a perfect parent but I do love me a good How-To list. Perhaps it's the way lists make it feel so neat and tidy and possible, as if I really could become a perfect parent by following 19 simple steps. And I have to admit, I was feeling rather smug after reading the first few.
Love-filled house? Check. Shame-free parenting? (mostly) Check. Requisite praise? Duly given. Surrounded by safety and support? Yup and Yup. But then I got to one that gave me pause.
Number thirteen on this list of gems from Maria Montessori says: "Never speak badly of a child, in their presence or otherwise."
I do try my best to avoid mom gossip in front of the kids, but it's that "or otherwise" that stopped me in my tracks. Does this mean I am not to speak ill of my children to anyone, ever? Like not even over a few glasses of wine with my girlfriends on a much needed moms night out? Am I not allowed to roll my eyes at this whole motherhood thing and call my kid a name not suitable for print? Really Maria?
But the more I thought about it, the more I realized she had a point. OK yes, sometimes I really just need to vent and make the strangulation-gesture with my two hands when friends ask me how it's going with the kids. As in, they're driving me crazy today and I'm ready to strangle them. But I've been venting a lot lately, and it never actually leaves me feeling all that good afterwards. In fact, somehow, it only seems to reinforce the attitude that my kids are, in fact, driving me crazy. And you know what happens the next time I interact with them? You guessed it, they drive me crazy!
Now I'm not saying it's not okay to vent. It's healthy, it's normal, it helps us relate to each other on so many levels. And besides, I don't want to be that mom who's casually sipping her cabernet and pretending to have it all together, because that is SO not me. But I wonder if being too negative about my children's behavior when I'm talking to others only serves to perpetuate the very behavior I wish would improve?
I think for now I'm just going try and be more mindful of my words about my children. Are they constructive? Do I need help or will telling this story help me to get advice that I need? Is it serving a purpose that is useful? And how do I feel afterwards?
I'd love to hear how other moms balance this need to connect with other moms versus straight up gossip when it comes to our children. Is it ever okay? (Or maybe you disagree with Maria Montessori and think it's always okay?) I'd love to know! Please share below!

What story do you tell that no one believes until you provide proof?
One man initiated this thread on Reddit with a story about the time he went hiking in Argentina and came a bunch of nude models. He says no one would believe this story if he didn't have NSFW photo and video proof.
The thread went viral with other users sharing photos of strange events.
We've got the highlights below.
"While looking for a waterfall in Argentina, my friends and I happened upon a nude photo shoot. We stayed for two hours."
"My boyfriend works at a restaurant that services chicken wings and brought us out a big order. This head got mixed up in there. I'm just glad no one ate it."
"I saw this guy doing pull-ups off the roof near my campus apartment every day and my friends wouldn't believe me until I showed them this photo."
"I was visiting a friend in Yantai, China, when a photographer started taking our picture so our friend gives the thumbs-up. A few weeks later, we ended up on the front page of the local newspaper in a story about four European businessmen working on a project."
"In the '90's, my friend and I played a prank where we emailed the president pretending to be terrorists and threatening his life. A few months later we were at the library when Secret Service approached us. They determined we weren't a threat and left. I keep this on the mantle."
"I caught the bouquet at my friend's wedding. But the flowers were fake and they actually impaled my hand."

DUI and warrant for arrest
Ask a Lawyer
QuestionCountry: United States of America
State: Michigan
Hello, I am a 25yr. old male . I currently have a warrant out for my arrest. The warrant is for writing a check on a closed account. I am already on probation for a D.U.I., but I don't regularly meet with my probation officer because I am in a residential drug/alcohol treatment program. I entered the program on my own volition. My probation officer notified me of the warrant, saying that I needed to take care of it. I would like to resolve this issue but I am afraid to turn myself in because I don't want to go to jail. The following are some concerns of mine. 1. Is there any way to resolve this issue without going to jail? 2. I didn't know my account had closed, does this matter? 3. I was a practicing alcoholic when I wrote the check. Through rehab and volunteer work I'm renewing myself (I think) as a respectable citizen. Will this have any weight in my judgment ? 4. I would like to pay restitution for the check, however I cannot do this immediately because I haven't worked in the past six months due to my stay at the rehabilitation facility. Is there any way I can explain this to \"soften the blow\" I receive? The check is already 9 months old.

Ink Jet Printers
HP Photosmart 8750 Professional Photo Printer
- High-quality photos.
- Maximum 13- by 19-inch paper size.
- Prints directly from memory cards and PictBridge cameras.
- Relatively slow.
- Text and graphics quality on plain paper varies significantly depending on which ink cartridge is loaded.
Bottom LineThe HP Photosmart 8750 Professional Photo Printer is designed to produce high-quality photos in sizes up to 13 by 19 inches. It succeeds in that mission. It can also function as an all-purpose printer, but isn't really meant to be used that way.
The HP Photosmart 8750 Professional Photo Printer ($499.99 direct) is one of the rare ink jet printers designed primarily for photos at sizes up to 13 by 19 inches. And although you can use it as an all-purpose printer, it's best as a second printer reserved strictly for photos.
At 10 by 25.3 by 24.1 inches (HWD), the Photosmart 8750 has a large footprint, but still manages a sleek look, with a gray finish punctuated by a flip-up LCD panel, memory card slots, and a PictBridge connector for cameras. Inside, the printer takes three cartridges with six to nine ink colors, depending on which ones you use. It ships with a tricolor cartridge with cyan, yellow, and magenta; a photo gray cartridge with three shades of gray; and what HP calls a blue photo cartridge, with light cyan, light magenta, and blue, for a total of nine colors and a wider gamut than most photo printers.
You can swap the blue photo cartridge for one with light cyan, light magenta, and black, and swap the photo gray for a black cartridge. We ran our text and graphics tests with a blue photo, a tricolor, and a black cartridge (7 colors) for fastest times. For photos, we used the nine-ink configuration for best quality.
Photos were at the high end of very good, just missing out on excellent. Most images qualified as true photo quality, but we saw a sprinkling of minor issues, including a slight tint in one photo that gave clouds a pink tinge. Graphics were also at the high end of very good, and text was at the high end of good.
Performance (timed with QualityLogic's software and hardware, www.qualitylogic.com) was less impressive, averaging 2 minutes 29 seconds for each 4-by-6 and 5:20 for each 8-by-10. The similarly priced
More relevant is that HP claims a 100-year lifetime for 8750 output displayed under glass, or 200 years in a photo album, a claim that Canon doesn't make. If you care about long-lasting prints, you may decide it's worth waiting a little extra time for the output.

Hands-On Searching:
Search Techniques continued
Once you have analyzed your topic and identified terms and concepts, the next step is put these together into a search statement that the database will understand.
Database "Grammar"
Boolean operators are terms that connect concepts with different kinds of relationships. The two most common Boolean operators are AND and OR.
- Use AND when you want the database to find results that include both/all of your concepts and/or terms. In the example below, you want only results that include both the terms pedagogy AND the term Gagne. (Note: You can have more than two concepts or words ANDed together.)
pedagogy AND Gagne
- Use OR when you have multiple terms for a concept and you want to find results that have any one of the terms connected by OR. The appropriate way to use OR is:
pedagogy AND (Bloom OR Gagne)
The parentheses tell the database that the text inside is a single unit, and the OR tells that database that only one of the terms listed need to be included in the search results.
Database "Punctuation"
Several punctuation symbols are used to direct how a database performs a search.
- Use quotation marks around words if you want them to be searched as the exact phrase only. "Blooms taxonomy" will find all articles that refer to this phrase, but will not find articles with only one term.
- Use an asterisk * when you want to truncate a term to account for different word endings. (Note: some databases use different symbols, such as a question mark or exclamation.) Truncation is useful when you need to account for singular and plural forms of a word, or to account for any of many different word endings.
Example: "learning style*" for results that have the phrases: learning style or learning styles
Example: evaluat* when any of the word endings, such as evaluate, evaluated, evaluation, are acceptable.
Example: evaluat* when any of the word endings, such as evaluate, evaluated, evaluation, are acceptable.

HCCSC board issues statement about bible trailer ruling
Saturday, March 28, 2009 8:43 AM
The Huntington County Community School Corporation Board of Trustees issued the following statement regarding the "By The Book" religious education program on Thursday, March 26.
The board met in executive session to discuss the issue on Tuesday, March 24.
"As evidenced by the input heard regarding the 'By The Book' program at the public School Board meeting held on Monday, March 23, 2009, the HCCSC School Trustees acknowledge the large concern and sincere opinions of the citizens of Huntington County. The Board appreciates and values the support and concern that members of our community have shown regarding this matter and we will always strive to do what is in the best interests of all HCCSC students and Huntington County citizens.
"On Thursday, March 19, 2009, Judge James T. Moody of the United States District Court issued his Opinion and Order on the Motion for Preliminary Injunction regarding the 'By The Book' Weekday Religious Education Program, which is sponsored and operated by the Associated Churches of Huntington County (ACHC). It is the intent and plan of the HCCSC Board of School Trustees to move forward with this case by preparing for the trial on the merits and to continue to vigorously defend the allegations contained in the original pleading and complaint as filed by the parent of a Horace Mann student.
"Judge Moody's Order states in pertinent part, '... defendant Huntington County Community School Corporation is hereby Enjoined (prohibited) from allowing religious instruction to occur on its property during school instructional time.'
"It is important for our community to know that the Board of School Trustees relies on the advice of their legal counsel with respect to their responsibilities, obligations, and options in the continuing defense of this case. In that regard, on Friday, March 20, 2009 in direct response to Judge Moody's Order, HCCSC Superintendent Tracey Shafer notified our eight elementary school building principals that HCCSC would 'respectfully observe this Order (governing the Preliminary Injunction) of the Court.' This has resulted in the removal of all 'By The Book' trailers from all HCCSC property until further Court order advising otherwise.
"While the Board of Trustees disagree with the conclusions reached in the Order issued by Judge Moody, they recognize that they are both legally and ethically obligated as fiduciaries of this school corporation to comply with the Preliminary Injunction. To do otherwise would ignore the Order's clear command forbidding HCCSC 'from allowing religious instruction to occur on its property during school instructional time.' This case is still a matter of ongoing litigation and, therefore, decisions as to legal strategy are confidential matters between HCCSC and its legal counsel.
"We recognize that our community places great value on the desire to continue to offer the voluntary 'By The Book' program to those HCCSC elementary students and parents who wish to participate in it. This Board is open to hearing any and all reasonable options for the continued operation of the program from both the Associated Churches of Huntington County as the sponsoring organization and our patrons. At the same time, this Board is legally and ethically obligated to make sure that any future conduct of the program is compliant with the United States District Court.
"To reiterate, the Board of School Trustees appreciates and respects the opinions of the citizens of Huntington County. The Board will continue to strongly defend against the allegations at issue and will provide updates from time to time as this lawsuit progresses."

Clint Black, last year's recipient, presented Raye with the award, citing the singer's contributions to Catholic Relief Services, the Tennessee Task Force on Domestic Violence, Special Olympics and other charities. Black also applauded the country star for raising over $100,000 for scholarships and community improvements in Raye's hometown of DeQueen, Ark. "Collin is one of the hardest working artists on behalf of charity in the business," Black said before handing Raye the award. "No one in the business works harder or cares more than Collin." Raye accepted the award on behalf of volunteers everywhere who work quietly behind the scenes. "The real heroes are the ones who never get any recognition and don't even aspire to that," Raye said. "They do it day after day after day. They are the ones who devote their whole life to it." The Country Radio Broadcasters also presented humanitarian awards to radio stations for their efforts to improve quality of life in the communities they serve. Cited were WPOC in Baltimore, Md. (large market), WIVK in Knoxville, Tenn. (medium market) and KGEE in Midland, Texas (small market).

As an SEO company, we run into questions like, "Should you use a rel=canonical or a 301 redirect" all of the time. While we are quite versed in answering these topics, it is always nice to hear information straight from Google. In this video, we hear Matt Cutts, head of WebSpam at Google, address the difference between rel=canonical and 301 redirect.
301 Redirect vs. rel=canonical for SEO
As mentioned in the video, you only loose a tiny bit of link juice if you do a 301 redirect. Google has configured the 301 redirect this way because if you didn't loose any link juice, webmasters would implement many more 301 redirects opposed to internal links. It is also mentioned that link weight from a 301 redirect does not change over time.
Google actually prefers 301 redirects vs. rel=canonical. Now we understand this is not always the best solution, as it is dependent on the particular issue affecting the website, however, 301 redirects are more widely supported and the user will be carried along with the 301 redirect. The rel=canonical is recommended by Google in the case that you cannot get to the server headers.
Now there are of course other situations when you'll want to use a rel=canonical. For instance, maybe you have poor tracking code on your URL that cannot be removed, or you cannot implement 301s properly. In this case you will still need to use rel=canonical. Heck, in some cases robots.txt may be the right solution.
301 redirects and rel=canonicals certainly have their own distinct place in the SEO world. If you have questions about the search engine optimization methods ask below.

When you run a business, it is necessary to focus all your time and effort on every part of your business, so it is easy to forget about things like your roof. Before you know it, you could be having issues with your building roof and you will need to find a roof repair service. The damage to your roof could be caused by aging of the roof, storm damage or even vandalism and you will need to make sure that you hire a company that is well experienced in commercial roof repair.
Time is of the essence when it comes to a commercial roof repair. You will want to get the roof repair completed quickly so no further damage happens to your building. You will also want to minimalize the effects that the repair might have on your business so having it repaired quickly is imperative. You will want to find a company that can repair your roof efficiently and quickly.
Many commercial buildings over the years have gone with metal roofing because it is easy to maintain and is easy to fix. You will have to choose a roofing company that is well experienced with metal roofing. Before you hire the company, you will want to look at their experience as well as their recommendations from other customers. This will assure you that they know what they are doing and will get your roof repaired correctly.
Once you have picked out a commercial roof repair Dallas contractor, you will want to get a contract. A contract will outline all the responsibilities of the roofing company and have the price that you will have to pay. The contract should also show the time that it will take to repair the roof as well as a material list. It should clearly show an ending date to the construction as well. If there is anything that you have questions about, you will be able to ask the contractor immediately.
It can be easy to just sign off on the contract after the work is done but you will want to examine the work that has been done. If you are particularly concerned, you can have a roofing inspector come out to inspect your roof to ensure that it was done correctly. This will give you a peace of mind that the job has been done well and you do not have to worry in the future.
Once you have gotten your roof repaired, you will want to talk to the commercial company on a preventive maintenance package. A preventive maintenance package will include the company coming out to inspect your roof and fix anything that needs to be replaced. This can help you to avoid repairs and help to ensure that your roof is in the appropriate shape. If you notice that there is something wrong with your roof, do not hesitate to call a roofing repair company immediately. The longer that you wait for repair, could mean more damage. You could even deal with some of your products being damaged, so you will always want to call a professional out if you see an issue with your commercial roof.

And another mentally ill person kills, this time in New York using a subway rather than a firearm.
The Detroit Free Press: With video: Man pushed to death in front of NYC subway train
The suspect in Thursday night's killing had been following the man closely on a Queens platform and mumbling to herself, witnesses told police. She got up from a nearby bench and shoved the man, who was standing with his back to her, as the train pulled into the platform. He was pinned under the train as it pulled to a stop, police said.
No calls for enhanced security according to the article, as this is a "rare event", that only last occurred 25 days ago.
Mayor Bloomberg did not call for banning subway trains, and apparently didn't call for more treatment or institutionalization of the mentally ill.
Asked about the episode at the station on Queens Boulevard in the Sunnyside neighborhood, Mayor Michael Bloomberg pointed today to legal and policy changes that led to the release of many mentally ill people from psychiatric institutions from the 1960s through 1990s.
"The courts or the law have changed and said, no, you can't do that unless they're a danger to society; our laws protect you. That's fair enough," Bloomberg said on The John Gambling Show with Mayor Mike on WOR-AM.
It's a pity Bloomberg holds quite the double standard and refuses to apply that same logic to 94 million law-abiding citizens and firearms possession.
