Introducing Dr. Stephen Gilligan
Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D., is a licensed Psychologist practicing in Encinitas, CA. Stephen was among the group of students that gathered around the founders of NLP during its formation at U.C. Santa Cruz from 1974 -1977. Milton Erickson and Gregory Bateson became his teachers and mentors. After receiving his doctorate in Psychology from Stanford University, Stephen became one of the premier teachers and practitioners of Ericksonian hypnotherapy. Motivated by his experiences as a therapist, a teacher, and by his own quest, he developed a new practice of radical awakening incorporating Ericksonian psychotherapy, Aikido, Buddhism, meditation, and the performance arts.

They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
Have you ever had a conversation with someone where you walked away thinking, "My goodness that person loves what they do." When you walk away, don't you usually feel inspired? I do! I'm thinking I want some of that energy; I want some of that passion.

Ok, maybe they won't but read this:
Not sure if devs read this, here's why your game ****:
Reason 1: I've been playing for 2+ years now, have legendary items for each elements, in fact, too many for some of the elements, but, not the ones which I'd like - DH5 just doesn't have any mechanics in place to control what you get.
Reason 2: That said, the game DOESN'T HAVE A PROPER PVP MODE. If that's the case - WHAT IS THE POINT OF DEVELOPING THE GEAR!?!??
Reason 3 (this is the dumbest s***): complete this X amount of times, do this, repeatedly 2 mln times, collect 200 of some useless crap 50 times... How about you sit your **** down, think 1000 times, test 20000 times and build something ONCE, worth spending money on, instead of adding new levels of armour and weapons, thus making the game even more boring and repetitive!
Reason 4: ARENA - who tf even came up with this!?!? And why tf the battle ends with opponent kneeling down!?!? It should be punch or kick and "K m-fing O" animation!!! What is this: oh you beat me - I'll just bend over and kneel..??? SERIOUSLY, talk to you senior product manager or game lead and tell them to take their head out of their a**! Or even better, higher someone else who has COMMON SENSE! Graphics - the only good thing about this game, that's about it. Thanks for reading! 😃

Bruno Senna remains hopeful he will be on the Formula 1 grid next season despite having lost his seat at Williams.
The Brazilian has been replaced by Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas, who will partner Pastor Maldonado from the 2013 season.
Senna has been in talks with Caterham and Force India and is believed to be still in the running for a seat with both teams.
AUTOSPORT understands that Senna tested a DTM car for Mercedes at Estoril last week, but he says he is still working hard to secure a slot for what would be his second full season in F1.
"You're never relaxed until you have a nice signed contract, but we're working very hard," Senna told AUTOSPORT. "Chris [Goodwin, manager] is a busy little bee. He's been doing his job very well.
"Hopefully before the end of the year we'll have a nice clear path to follow."
Senna insisted that having to make way for Bottas in 15 Friday practice sessions during the season made his year more difficult.
The Brazilian reckons he still did a good job considering his relative lack of experience.
"It's a tough world championship," he added. "This has probably been the toughest Formula 1 world championship in many years. I think that coming into it as my first real year in Formula 1 was already a challenge.
"And then missing practice sessions all over the season, probably missing about 30 per cent of all the practice sessions of the year, is a lot of practice missed.
"That probably puts you in a position where you shouldn't be at the start, only by a couple of tenths sometimes.
"It's made my year much more difficult. But still I've learned a lot. It's been a very big learning curve for me, and a very good one."

Presenting a collection of St. Louis bricks, sidewalk markers, and the Fleur-de-lis as architectural detail on and in city buildings, brick collecting, urban exploration, and my life by Christian Herman. Reporting from Tower Grove South in St. Louis, MO.
The Kingshighway Viaduct and Skate Park
I also had a great chat with the author of http://we-are-the-city.blogspot.com/
It was baffling to discover a dumpster under the bridge.
I called my 10th ward alderman Joe Vollmer. He said he's supportive of them being there -hence the dumpster - and wants to work with them to develop skate parks in our ward.
Reinforced piers:
Missing parapet:
In the middle of the photo there's a small figure, one of a group of boys who'd discovered the LRA board up had been removed:

Glad to hear the demo will be happing soon. From driving on the deck surface it's clear the structure is in bad shape. Your pictures illustrate what I saw when I ran under there a week or 2 ago, my eyes literally bugged out of my head at the condition of the structure. I have never seen anything in that bad of shape...how is it still standing?
I do feel bad for the skate park guys. As you said they are very friendly and have made good use out of a location most people don't want to do anything with. Additionally they help keep criminals or bums from creating a home there. I would love to see them able to find a similar space under the new viaduct.

O-I-See Youth Strategies
O-I-See Youth Strategies was established in 2011 driven by a need outside our school and supportive systems for children, families, and professionals. We offer support, guidance, and tutoring for youth (ages 4-18), families, and educators in a safe and confidential setting. Our services are only offered in a one-to-one setting in order to truly discover the strengths, abilities, and gifts of every unique person. On occasion, we offer youth group settings (only after getting to know children one-on-one first) and parent workshops on various K-12 emotional, social, and educational topics.
We believe ALL children can succeed in life, and they are the true experts in understanding how they can succeed in today's systems. Additionally, we believe in evaluating how the history of a child's journey has affected him/her verses viewing something as being "wrong" with the child. We do this by providing children with tools of awareness, positive choice, and options for building confidence in their unique strengths. Families and professionals are able to celebrate the common goal with youth: children succeeding at home, at school, and in the surrounding community.
O-I-See Youth's Motto: "Always remember you're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -A.A. Milne

Thumb sucking is seen very often in individuals with disabilities. No matter how much you pull their thumb out of their mouth, they seem to stick it back in. Thumb sucking can affect the development of your permanent teeth, and in some cases, speech. You may need to visit an orthodontist to reverse the damages.
Home Treatment:
- Caregivers can provide distraction
- Rewarding for not thumb sucking- Try stickers
- Positive praise
- Put lemon Juice or vinegar on their thumb
- Try giving them a pacifier
- Never use yelling or negative reinforcement
If home treatment doesn't work:
Talk to your doctor about behavior therapy or other devices to prevent thumb sucking.

And so it is that we come to the last day of the season and find ourselves hosting the club that most embodies all that went wrong with Arsenal this year.
It was a fiery match with Stoke, who will finish the season as the dirtiest team in the league, accused by Arsene Wenger of kicking Arsenal off the pitch. Which they certainly did, but it was set plays and not kicks that won that encounter. Rory Delap was in such fine form on that day and Arsenal so incapable of dealing with set plays that Delap nearly threw one straight into the net! So, yes, they kicked us, but that's not what won.
It was also a game which saw baffling lineups from the boss, a petulant red card to Robin van Persie, a lazy game from Cesc and Adebayor, and injuries to Ade and Theo. In short, if was the type of disastrous outcome that at least one Gooner was quoted saying
Untill we aquire a world class goalkeeper two world class defenders and a world class midfielder we aint going anywhere. (sic)
It's actually quite a spectacular rant and I know many people felt the same way after that match.
I think we've had some distance from that match and I think we've achieved quite a bit more than that one result might haved indicated. So, I'd be surprised if many Gooners still feel the same way. Even the boss sent Tony Pulis a note, not quite apologizing for calling Stoke cheats, but sort of forgiving them and by way of saying that he understands why they played the way they played. For most teams between 10th and 20th place, the name of the game is survival and they will do just about anything to ensure it.
Survival ensured. 4th place secured.
I doubt this will be a fiery match like the previous.
But it's the last match of the season and maybe Stoke will want to do the double over us, who knows? Hell, who cares?
Evra is a loudmouthed pussy
I love that Evra is complaining to the press about Fabregas' tackle on him. I think he should be happy that Flamini wasn't still on the squad, he knew how to put in a tackle whenever a Man U player decided to publicly act like an ass.
Voting still ongoing
Remember, you only have until 11:45pm PST to vote for your Gooner of the Year! Get over there and DO IT.
Yes I mailed this in, which is pretty much what I'm expecting from Arsenal today.

I am so excited to share this cover! I've been working on this book intermittently for years now. This summer, I got serious about it and worked on intensely. My experience with Orison has intrigued me about the world of independent publishing. So, I hired a wonderful editor and cover designer (Steven Novak). Currently, I"m hoping to have the book ready in print and ebook by early September. If you want to get an email when it's ready to order, click here.
Here's a little about the story:
"When soul-eating demons overrun the home world of the seraphim, Kaelis is charged to escape with the seraph queen's heir. Unaware, they are being followed by two demons, Kaelis flees with the infant to Earth. Accustomed to a world of fiery beauty, Kaelis and the baby struggle to survive. When the demons partner with a local human gang to chase Kaelis down, he is forced to use the last of his strength to fight them. He leaves the baby with a human family and then disappears.
Determined to find the hidden seraph heir, one of the demons tricks a human woman, and fathers a child. Half-human, half-demon, the Soul Stealer's child will grow into a living weapon, a predator who will hunt the hidden seraph, driven by demon instinct and guided by human cunning.
As the two children grow into teenagers, they are drawn to each other by forces neither understands. The queen's heir will have to find the strength to love unselfishly, and the Soul Stealer's child will have to find out if a human heart can overpower a demon's soul.

Teenage Driver Injures Three Due to Eating While Driving
I have written multiple articles and blogs about the dangers of distracted driving. Mobile phone use and texting while driving have been frequent and appropriate targets. Accident statistics clearly demonstrate that distracted driving is dangerous; doing anything at the same time you are driving tons of machinery at high speeds is not a great idea. Here is an example:
This Colorado case involves a family of three; they were hit by a teenage driver while out for a leisurely bike ride. The seventeen year old plowed into the three cyclists as they were crossing the street at a pedestrian crosswalk. They had activated the flashing lights at the crosswalk and they were flashing as they crossed. The young driver said he didn't see the flashing lights. The police discovered he'd been eating his lunch while trying to drive and was distracted. He will be charged with reckless driving.
The mother and her 10 year old child sustained non life threatening injuries, but the 7 year old was critically injured. He was air lifted to a hospital that specializes in serious head and back injuries. He was listed in critical condition and there is a good chance he sustained a traumatic brain injury that may affect him for the rest of his life.
This family is devastated, with three members injured and incredibly high medical bills. They will obviously consider the filing of a personal injury lawsuit. Serious injury auto accidents are often hard-fought and take long periods of time to resolve. Families who find themselves in contentious litigation may need some interim financial assistance. These families should investigate and consider lawsuit funding as a means of support while litigation is pending. A lawsuit cash advance would allow the family regroup financially, pay their regular expenses (mortgage, car payments, tuition, food) as well as those extraordinary expenses resulting from the accident (medical bills, physical therapy, etc.).
Automobile accident lawsuit funding relieves the financial pressure to settle a valuable case too early, for too little. Job status or credit ratings do not matter; all Lawsuit Financial cares about is the quality of your case. And, we take all the risk; if your case does not resolve in your favor, we will excuse the debt. That's right, is you lose the case, you keep our money without obligation to repay. This is called non-recourse lawsuit funding. Applying for lawsuit funding is quick and easy; if you are approved, you can have lawsuit cash in your hands within 24 hours.
The future may be very difficult for the 7-year old if he does have traumatic brain injury and the expenses will be catastrophic. In securing a legal finance services, the parents would be able to sit tight and wait out the long legal process for an appropriate settlement or verdict, without having to settle too early for too little because of pressing financial issues. The call to 1-877-377-SUIT is free; the advice is priceless.


text: HIGH-PERFORMANCE REACTORS are only used for wastewater with very high levels of contamination (e.g. yeast factories, distilleries, pharmaceutical operations) for preliminary biological treatment. There is always a highly-stressed and often a less used waste water treatment system downstream. The high-performance reactors are closed and work with a constant water level. They normally have diameters of up to 8m and tend to be at least 10m high. The volume load can be up to 100 kg BSB5/m3xd in high-performance reactors! During biological decomposition, a relatively high process heat develops, which can be discharged using appropriate installation and used for heating purposes or energy production. This represents an alternative to anaerobic reactors, in which biogas arises. Due to the high oxygen requirement, our immersible TRG aerators are used here. Through aeration with a high introduction of air, foam can be formed, which can be safely controlled by using our FOAMEX foam centrifuges.

Last week Microsoft published part 1 in an article series about VMQ, detailing how VMQ works and trying to clear up some misconceptions about the technology.
It's well worth the read but the main reason I mention it is because a colleague of mine ran into an issue that's very much related to VMQ.
The customer is a large hosting provider and they experienced poor network performance when doing backups and live migrations over their 10 Gbit infrastructure. Very important to know though is that they use a virtual switch in Hyper-V to provide vNICs for backup and LM.
As the Microsofts article states, you won't get 10 Gbit out of a Hyper-V switch:
Many people have reported that with the creation of a vSwitch they experience a drop in networking traffic drop from line rate on a 10Gbps card to ~3.5Gbps. This is by design. With RSS you have the benefit of using multiple queues for a single host so you can interrupt multiple processors. The downside of VMQ is that the host and every guest on that system is now limited to a single queue and therefore one CPU to do their network processing in the host. On server-grade systems today, about 3.5Gbps is amount of traffic a single core can handle.
Their bandwidth was somewhat lower, around 3 Gbps, but that's most likely due to having older hardware.
I'm not sure how they're going to resolve this but my suggestion was to use separate, physical, NICs for backup and, if needed, for LM.
As I don't have enough information about how they've designed their Hyper-V environment I'm not sure if they've scaled up or out. If they scale out, bandwidth for LM should be less of an issue as fewer VMs lives on each host but at a certain point you're still going to need bandwidth (unless you plan on patching your hosts continuously).
The takeaway from this is that when designing high-end environments, it pays to know the nuts and bolts of the technology you're using.

I'm often asked the question, "Did the Republican Party do anything for blacks?"
Of course I am amazed just how many people, especially young people, either have not been told or simply don't realize that President Abraham Lincoln, our Nation's Great Emancipator, was in fact a Republican.
Many do not realize that the Republican Party was founded in 1854 as the anti-Slavery party.
And yes, even today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for all Americans of every color and of both sexes.
Fact is, whether Liberals want to admit it or not, history shows that the Democrat Party is as it always has been - the party of Slavery, Secession, Segregation and Socialism.
History tells the truth in that it was Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws, as well as vote against Women's Rights time and time again.
The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks, Republicans, and Catholics.
It was the Democrats who started the policy of relocating Native Americans, enslaving immigrants, retaining the system of slavery, and systematically waging war on civil rights legislation to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning in the 1860's and continuing all the way up to the 1960's.
Yes, they fought equality for over 100 years!
In order to break the Democrats' stranglehold on the black vote and free black Americans from the Democrat Party's economic plantation, we must shed the light of truth on the Democrats.
We must demonstrate that the Democrat Party policies of socialism and dependency on government handouts offer the pathway to poverty.
That's their solution, while Republican Party principles of hard work, personal responsibility, getting a good education and ownership of homes and small businesses offer the pathway to prosperity.
What are the many atrocities that Democrats have done to the black community, and women over the years? Well, here you go!

He went on to say lynching and assassinations would be used for all.
During that period, Reconstruction, the Ku Klux Klan, the White League, and the Red Shirts were the para-military groups described as "the military arm of the Democratic Party."
For the next 100 years, just Klan violence alone benefited the Democrat Party by suppressing opposition voting to Democrat candidates.

Civil Rights Act of 1875, guaranteeing access to public accommodations without regard to race, signed by Republican President U.S. Grant; passed with 92% Republican support over 100% Democrat opposition
Almost 100 years later, the 1875 Civil Right Act will be used as the foundation for the 1964 Civil Rights Act which we be the last time Democrats attempt to stop black Americans from having equal rights.
January 10, 1878
U.S. Senator Aaron Sargent (R-CA) introduces Susan B. Anthony amendment for women's suffrage.
Democrat-controlled Senate defeated it 4 times before election of Republican House and Senate guaranteed its approval in 1919.
Republicans foil Democratic efforts "to keep women in the kitchen, where they belong."
"The Civil Rights Cases of 1883"
In 1883, the cases were a group of five similar cases consolidated into one issue for the United States Supreme Court to review.
The Democrat controlled Supreme Court held that Congress lacked the constitutional authority under the enforcement provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment to outlaw racial discrimination by private individuals and organizations, rather than state and local governments.
More importantly, in particular, the Democrat controlled High Court held that the Republican written and passed Civil Rights Act of 1875, which provided:
"that all persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, and privileges of inns, public conveyances on land or water, theaters, and other places of public amusement; subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law, and applicable alike to citizens of every race and color, regardless of any previous condition of servitude"
- was held to be "Unconstitutional."
In 1964, the Republican written Civil Rights Act of 1875 would be used as the foundation for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - which was the last battle waged and lost by Democrats trying to keep any race of American in bondage.
June 7, 1892
A black man named Homer Plessy agreed to be arrested for refusing to move from a seat reserved for whites.
Democrat Judge John H. Ferguson upheld the law, and the case of Plessy v. Ferguson slowly moved up to the Supreme Court.
February 8, 1894
Democrat Congress and Democrat President Grover Cleveland joined together to repeal the Republicans' Enforcement Act - which had enabled African-Americans to vote
Democrat controlled states enacted literacy tests, poll taxes, elaborate registration systems, and eventually whites-only Democratic Party primaries to exclude black voters.
The enacted poll taxes required citizens to pay a fee to register to vote. These fees kept many poor African Americans, as well as poor whites, from voting.
The Democrat Party created and and passed these racist laws which proved very effective.
In Mississippi, fewer than 9,000 of the 147,000 voting-age black Americans were registered after 1890. In Louisiana, where more than 130,000 black voters had been registered in 1896, the number had plummeted to 1,342 by 1904.
May 18, 1896
A Democrat controlled U.S. Supreme Court, the only desenting vote being from a Republican, ruled that segregation in America was "Constitutional."
In that case, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of social segregation of the "white and colored races" under the "separate but equal" doctrine.

Republicans denounce three-time Democrat presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan for defending the Ku Klux Klan at 1924 Democratic National Convention
September 1928
Georgia-born Democrat Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan wrote on page 21 of the September 1928 edition of the Klan's "The Kourier Magazine":
"I have never voted for any man who was not a regular Democrat. My father … never voted for any man who was not a Democrat. My grandfather was …the head of the Ku Klux Klan in reconstruction days…. My great-grandfather was a life-long Democrat…. My great-great-grandfather was…one of the founders of the Democratic party."

August 17, 1937
Republicans organize opposition to "former" Ku Klux Klansman and Democrat U.S. Senator Hugo Black, who was appointed to U.S. Supreme Court by FDR
Known for giving anti-Catholic and segregationist speeches while in office as a Senator from Alabama, his position in the Ku Klux Klan and affiliation with that organization came out during his confirmation hearing.
But with the power of the Democrat Party being what it was at the time during the Great Depression, he was overwhelmingly confirmed.
So yes, America has had a "former" Klu Klux Klan member sit on the highest court in the land, and he was a Democrat.
If you're thinking he was the only "former" Klan member Democrat in Congress over the years, you're wrong.
Besides Hugo Black, there were many other Democrats who were "former" Klan members who enjoyed the endorsement of the Ku Klux Klan while in office.
Hugo Black typified the philosophy over the years when he said of the Ku Klan Klan, "I'll join any group if it helps me get votes."

March 12, 1956
Ninety-seven Democrats in Congress condemn Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education, and pledge to continue segregation.
This wasn't only a condemnation, almost every Democrat politicians in the South at the time took an oath and signed "the Southern Manifesto."
It was officially called "The Declaration of Constitutional Principles," known informally as the Southern Manifesto.
It was a document written in February and March of 1956, in the United States Congress. It was the Democrat Party's opposition to racial integration of public places.
The manifesto was signed by 97 Democrats from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
The Democrat Congressmen drafted the document to counter the landmark Supreme Court 1954 ruling Brown v. Board of Education, which determined that segregation of public schools was unconstitutional.
Democrat Senators led the opposition, with then Democrat Strom Thurmond writing the initial draft and none other than Richard Russell - who they named the Senate Building after - did the final version.
The manifesto was signed by 19 Senators and 82 Representatives, including the entire congressional delegations of the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia.
All of the 99 signatories were Democrats - except for two Republicans, Joel Broyhill and Richard Poff of Virginia.
School segregation laws were some of the most enduring and best-known of the Jim Crow laws that characterized the American South and several northern states at the time.
The Southern Manifesto accused the Supreme Court of "clear abuse of judicial power."
It promised to use "all lawful means to bring about a reversal of this decision which is contrary to the Constitution and to prevent the use of force in its implementation."
The Democrats argued in The Southern Manifesto that the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution should limit the reach of the Supreme Court on such issues.
The Democrats gave their oath to stop any sort of Civil Rights legislation.

Bill authored by Republican U.S. Rep. Susan Molinari (R-NY) to prohibit racial discrimination in adoptions, part of Republicans' Contract With America, becomes law
As for legislative segregation, it is dead in America.
But, racism in the Democrat Party is not!
That year, Democrat Senator Harry Reid described fellow Democrat and Black American candidate for president Barack Obama during the presidential campaign as a black candidate who could be successful thanks in part to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
What in creation is "Negro dialect?"
During that same campaign former president Bill Clinton said of Senator Obama, "A few years ago this guy would have been getting us coffee."
At the Democrat National Convention, when black American Democrat Rep. John Lewis used his convention speech to argue that a Republican victory in November "will send African-Americans back to when he and other Africans-Americans were forcibly denied access to restaurants, public transportation, restrooms, and the ballot box."
Yes, he's either stupid, ignorant of history, ungrateful for the sacrifice and struggle that Republicans made fighting for the civil rights of black Americans, or he is just dishonest and lying.
He tried to set race against race for political gain, and that is a form of racism.
He went on and on describing his activism in the Southern states in the 1950 and 1960s, Lewis claimed, "I've seen this before, I lived this before!"
What he was in fact trying to do -- was divide America with lies that he knows damn well are lies.
The Democrat delegates there went crazy, then Lewis said, "We were met by an angry mob that beat us and left us lying in a pool of blood. Brothers and sisters, do you want to go back?"
He openly lied to the people that night. If he didn't lie, than he is ignorant of history that he had supposedly lived.
And by the way, the sheriff who turned the dogs and the fire hoses on the Civil Rights marchers was a Democrat.
And let's not forget the words of liberal icon Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood…
"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population…."
From the end of the Civil War, black Americans primarily favored the Republican Party due to its overwhelming political and more tangible efforts in achieving abolition, particularly through President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
In the middle 1960s, blacks started voting primarily Democrat.
Fifty years ago, black American started voting Democrat.
Yes, black Americans overwhelmingly vote for the political party which has made every effort to keep them in bondage - if not by means of chains, then by promise after promise , program after program, handout after handout - like some sort of group of benevolent Slave Owners.
The Democrat Party has never gotten pass their Slave Owner mentality, their Socialist views show that - they believe in bondage, turning citizens into subjects, to coerce or force submission from others.
2013 Slave Owner Mentality or Civil Rights Champions?
Today, part of the Democrat Party's big lie is that they are the Champions for Civil Rights and are always ready to fight for Black Americans.
To demonstrate just how controlling the Democrat Party is of "their" black constituents, take for example how the Democrats who controlled the the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's March on Washington refused to allow the only sitting black U.S. Senator to speak at the event.
And incredible as it seems, believe it or not, the only current African American member of the U.S. Senate, Tim Scott, was not invited to speak at the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech - even though high-profile celebrities including Oprah Winfrey and Ambassador Caroline Kennedy were included in the lineup.
The reason why he was not invited is that sole African-American U.S. Senator Tim Scott is a Republican from South Carolina.
So instead of attending, the South Carolina Republican instead marked the occasion speaking at a King anniversary event in North Charleston.
Republican Senator Scott also penned an op-ed for The State newspaper, entitled, "March on Washington created legacy of opportunity."
It is a very appropriate editorial considering today's Democrat Party is aligned with those who dream of having a Socialist/Communist American government in which the people are ruled by being subjected to force, power, or coercion just as Slave Owners would!
And no, after all of these years, I have no idea why black Americans vote for a group of people who systematically lie and keep them down.
When you hear some Democrat say, "Democrats are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That's why we've worked to pass every one of our nation's Civil Rights laws… On every civil rights issue, Democrats have led the fight."
Like the Peanuts Cartoon at the top of this article says, "Racism Sucks! But Being Falsely Accused Of Racism Sucks Too!"
Democrats have the long tradition of racism, not Republicans.

Refugee issue complicates Merkel's bid to form government
By AFP - Oct 08,2017 - Last updated at Oct 08,2017
This file photo taken on September 22, shows German Chancellor Angela Merkel waving next to Bavarian State Premier and CSU Party leader Horst Seehofer (right) during an election campaign rally in Munich, southern Germany (AFP photo)
BERLIN — Two weeks after winning elections with a reduced majority, German Chancellor Angela Merkel took a first step on Sunday toward forming a government by trying to unite her conservative camp which is bitterly divided over refugee policy.
Merkel met for private talks with her Bavarian CSU allies led by Horst Seehofer, who blames her open-door policy that has brought over one million asylum seekers since 2015 for the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party.
Beleaguered Seehofer — who after a vote drubbing faces internal challengers, and state elections next year — has revived his calls to cap the national refugee intake at 200,000 a year, a demand Merkel has consistently rejected as unconstitutional.
In an opening salvo Sunday, the CSU published a 10-point list of demands, including a refugee "upper limit", a broad return to the conservative roots of the centre-right alliance, and a committment to "healthy patriotism".
"We must fight the AfD head-on — and fight to get their voters back," said the text published in mass-circulation Bild am Sonntag, which suggested that "conservatism is sexy again".
The talks were expected to last deep into the night, with Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann conceding the situation was "not easy", and a party colleague asking journalists whether they had "brought their sleeping bags".
Merkel's CDU too is nervous ahead of a Lower Saxony state poll next Sunday, where it is running neck-and-neck with the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) — a party badly in need of a win after their bruising defeat in September 24 elections.
SPD leader Martin Schulz, gleefully watching the family squabbles in Merkel's conservative camp, charged that the "madhouse" CDU-CSU dispute showed that "in reality, they are enemy parties".
Odd bedfellows
The emergence of the anti-immigration AfD, which scored 12.6 per cent, has stunned Germany by breaking a long-standing taboo on hard-right parties sitting in the Bundestag.
Its success came at the expense of the mainstream parties, making it harder for Merkel to form a working majority.
Her best shot now — if she wants to avoid fresh elections that could further boost the AfD — is an alliance with two other parties that make for odd bedfellows, the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) and the left-leaning Greens.
Such a power pact — dubbed a "Jamaica coalition" because the three party colours match those of the Caribbean nation's flag — would be a first at the national level in Germany.
In the talks to come, likely to take weeks, all players will fight for ministerial posts and issues from EU relations to climate policy. All must give a little to reach a compromise — but not too much, to avoid charges from their own party bases that they are selling out in a grab for power.
The smaller parties will seek to avoid the fate of Merkel's previous junior coalition partners: both the FDP and SPD have suffered stunning losses after governing in the veteran chancellor's shadow.
Poker games
Until the high-stakes poker games between party chiefs result in a working government, Merkel will be restrained on the global stage and in Europe, where French President Emmanuel Macron is pushing for ambitious reforms.
EU and euro politics, in turn, are shaping up as another divisive issue.
Merkel and the Greens have cautiously welcomed Macron's plans, but FDP chief Christian Lindner, who is eyeing the powerful finance minister's post, has assumed a far more sceptical tone.
He rejects any kind of "transfer union" — code for German taxpayers' money flowing to weaker economies.
Lindner has praised, however, Seehofer's tougher stance on migration, declaring that refugee numbers "must be reduced".
The Greens, for their part, reject an upper limit for refugees, want to stop deportations of rejected asylum seekers to war-torn Afghanistan, and favour steps to help Syrian refugees bring their families.
Even if these issues can be resolved, the Greens will also push their ecologist core demands in talks with the pro-business parties — including phasing out coal plants and fossil fuel vehicles.
The Greens' co-leader Cem Ozdemir, voicing some impatience with the divided conservatives, warned that they "must not block the formation of a government for weeks".

Active Safety Features
When buying an SUV, it's important to consider its safety features. These fall into two categories: active and passive. Active safety features help the driver avoid an accident, while passive safety features help protect occupants in the event of an accident.
The following active safety features are designed to help you avoid an accident.
Anti-lock Brakes
Most vehicles today are available with anti-lock brake systems (ABS). If anti-lock brakes do not come standard on the SUV you intend to buy, be sure to choose ABS as an option. While ABS does not generally help a vehicle stop quicker than conventional brakes do on dry pavement, it has two distinct advantages. First, and most importantly, ABS allows you to steer your vehicle under full braking power. This is because ABS pumps the brakes many times per second (much faster than a human can), preventing wheel lockup and helping to maintain steering control. That means when that car suddenly stops in front of you, you can brake hard and still steer over to the shoulder if you won't stop fast enough to avoid an accident. In these instances, ABS can be the difference between a fender-bender and a close call.
At a Porsche-sponsored driving school, instructors demonstrated how different safety systems work to prevent vehicle skids.
Second, ABS can help you stop quicker on slippery pavement. Porsche invited Consumer Guide® to Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, for an SUV safety driving program. In simulated icy conditions at the Porsche program, an ABS-equipped vehicle stopped in a reasonable distance. With the ABS deactivated, our test Porsche Cayenne continued to skid for a distance that would have been at least twice as far as the ABS-equipped vehicle. In fact, it wasn't until the Cayenne left the simulated icy surface and got onto a wet asphalt surface that it had any grip at all. A well-trained driver may be able to pump the brakes and prevent a skid, thus stopping quicker. However, most drivers press the brake pedal in an emergency situation, making ABS the better choice.
Anti-skid Systems
Anti-skid systems, often referred to as electronic stability control (ESC), go by other names depending on the manufacturer. GM calls it StabiliTrac, Ford dubs it AdvanceTrac, and Chrysler calls it Electronic Stability Program (ESP). Other names include Vehicle Dynamics Control (Subaru), Dynamic Stability Control (Volvo), Vehicle Stability Assist (Honda) and Vehicle Stability Control (Toyota). For a complete list of anti-skid system names, check out the NHTSA's ESC-equipped vehicles list.
An anti-skid system uses several sensors to detect a loss of grip in your vehicle, then works with the anti-lock brake system to apply individual brakes to help keep the vehicle on its intended path. In some cases, an anti-skid system also reduces engine power.
So what does this mean to the driver? Well, if you approach a corner too rapidly and your vehicle begins to plow straight ahead, an anti-skid system will detect that the vehicle is not on its intended path and intervene by applying the inside brakes. This will rotate the vehicle through the turn and, hopefully, save you from going off the road. Anti-skid systems can't defy the laws of physics, so they won't help you take a 90-degree turn at 100 mph, but they can be quite helpful in most driving. Anti-skid systems are available on most SUVs, but they are usually optional. Make sure to order your SUV with an anti-skid system.
Roll Stability Control
Roll stability control works very much like an anti-skid system, but uses additional sensors to detect an impeding rollover. It then activates the anti-skid system. Roll stability control systems work on flat pavement; they can't prevent rollovers caused by hitting a curb or sliding into a ditch. Also, roll stability control should not be confused with what may be called rollover protection; these systems deploy curtain-side airbags when detecting an impending tip. Volvo, Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Land Rover and Jeep have roll stability control systems, and Dodge plans to release one soon.
All-wheel Drive
All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive systems allow all four wheels to transfer power to the road. Though not generally considered a safety feature, AWD or 4WD can provide the additional traction you may need to accelerate out of harm's way.
Four-wheel Independent Suspension
Four-wheel independent suspension allows each wheel to react individually to bumps in the road. All SUVs have independent front suspension, but not all have independent rear suspension (IRS). Those without IRS have solid rear axles that cause both wheels to react to a bump in the road when either tire hits that bump. While four-wheel independent suspension is also not generally considered a safety feature, keeping at least one tire planted on the road could possibly make the difference in avoiding an accident, especially when taking bumpy corners at high rates of speed.
Next, we'll take a look at passive safety features.

Nota Bene: Due to the impending porting of The Divine Wedgie to the Patheos Catholic channel, this will be the final substantive post on this platform. Links to the new site will be posted once it is live.
Commonweal Magazine recently published a highly informative article by Regina Munch, on her reflections on the post-Brexit fallout among millenials, as well as the recriminations of racism and xenophobia following the narrow victory of Britons wishing to leave the European Union.
Though this is not the central point of her article, what is indeed interesting is what seems to be Munch's calling out of a kind of universalism in the production of political opinion by media elites. In a way, what she indicates goes beyond what Michel Foucault wrote about deviancy in his History of Sexuality. There, he spoke about the processes that led to the production of normality on the one hand, and deviancy on the other.
The difference in what Munch seems to indicate is that, while there are still the shrill cries of deviancy (namely racism and xenophobia) from the Remain camp, the manufactured commentary from both online and broadcasted sources actually go further by also denying the existence of a different opinion altogether, with cries like "everybody" or "universally" thrown about like so much political confetti, papering over any geographical, class, age-based or economic nuance on the ground.
Regardless of the side of the debate, or regardless of the topic of debate, and regardless of the variety of opinions that the media showers us with, it would seem that the filtering of opinion via media channels both new and traditional still bears a new form of the logic of massification identified by Herbert Marcuse in One Dimensional Man, a logic which the Marxist saw as a form of totalitarianism. In a way, this form of massification is more insidious due to its attempts at erasure of any type of complexity by manufacturing a simulated notion of the "everybody", outside which no real thought or person exists. What is more, this simulated uniformity can apply to opinions manufactured on all sides of any debate.
As the media, rather than lived experience, becomes an increasingly important source of information, one temptation to resist would be the one that such media encourages, namely the tendency to ignore the complexity that embodied experience can uncover and adopt the virtual uniformity of whatever is being flashed on one's screen. Indeed, it would appear that vigilence against the processes that generate such uniformity might be needed in order to defend the politics presumed by Aristotle to be predicated on difference. The converse is that, if one were to give into manufactured uniformity, the existence of any truly political exercise is put at risk.

Oh, God, now I have to show an inkling of interest in The Hangover Part III. Not for any massive reason, but because Variety reports that John Goodman is likely to sign for "a small role as an antagonist" not unlike that part you forgot Paul Giamatti played in the second movie.
This writer has no doubt he'll be funny in that part — Goodman is solid in just about everything these days — which only makes my newfound requirement to pay even a modicum of attention all the more troublesome. Well, I'm sure The Hangover Part III will prove to be just fine; Todd Phillips is bound to make it look nice, and the main cast might be fun to have onscreen again. Just don't present that same story for the third time, man.
The film will open on May 24th, 2013.
Some more comedy casting has arrived from BlackFilm, who've been told that Joy Bryant (Hit and Run, Parenthood) is the final main player for Steve Pink's Sexual Perversity in Chicago. Michael Ealy was signed to lead a few weeks back, while Regina Hall and Kevin Hart have been contracted for supporting parts themselves. Now, the main puzzle is solved.
She'll be seen as Debbie, a young Chicago woman who catches the eye of Danny one night at a bar and manages to get a one-night stand out of it. That is, until the pair decide to make a real relationship out of their encounter; trouble is, their friends (Hart and Hall) don't exactly approve. If that sounds familiar, it's because we saw this story onscreen when it was called About Last Night. As far as unnecessary remakes go, however, this one is coming together in a shockingly decent fashion.
Far be it from me to normally reserve this actor or this film to a lower tier, but such is the nature of Variety's story informing us Willem Dafoe has been added to A Most Wanted Man. Directed by Anton Corbijn, this John le Carré adaptation — in which a half-Chechen/half-Russian man comes to Hamburg, hoping to snag a fortune he claims to be indebted to — has already been filled out by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rachel McAdams, and Robin Wright. The first of those three will be seen as the chief of a covert German spy unit, the second a lawyer, and the third actor's part is undisclosed — as is Dafoe's.
Regardless, it just got even better. A Most Wanted Man should start shooting in the next few months, with a late 2013 release likely.
How does your perception of these three projects change with such news?

Stale Price
The current price of an asset that does not reflect recently revealed or other available information. The stale price is unlikely to remain stale as the market absorbs the information and reflects it in the price. Analysts disagree on how long this takes, as different versions of the efficient markets hypothesis state that the stale price either evaporates quickly, or does not exist at all.

Golf-Johnson, McIlroy lose on first day of Match Play
* Out-of-sorts Johnson beaten by Wiesberger
* "Flat" McIlroy goes down to Uihlein
* Unheralded Suri too good for Leishman
* (Adds quotes, updates after day's matches complete)
March 21 (Reuters) - World number one Dustin Johnson and four-time major winner Rory McIlroy suffered surprise defeats on Wednesday as the WGC-Dell Match Play got off to a typically unpredictable start in Texas.
Austrian Bernd Wiesberger, seeded 52nd at the tournament, beat defending champion Johnson 3&1, while Peter Uihlein (57th) defeated McIlroy (sixth) 2&1 at Austin Country Club.
In another surprise, American Julian Suri, the lowest ranked of the 64 men in the field, beat Australia's world number 15 Marc Leishman, seeded 11th, 3&2.
McIlroy's defeat came three days after he won the Arnold Palmer Invitational with a barnstorming final round.
The Northern Irishman said he had been a "little flat" early on, though rallied late with five consecutive birdies to make it close before a relieved Uihlein closed it out with a par at the 17th.
"I made him earn it at least. I made the scoreline a little more respectable," McIlroy told reporters.
"I got down early and he didn't make a bogey all day. So it was hard to sort of claw my way back."
McIlroy and the other Wednesday losers will get a chance to make amends over the next two days as the tournament no longer uses a knockout format until the weekend.
The 64 players are divided into 16 groups of four, with everyone in each pod playing each other over the first three days. The winner of each group advances to the final 16 and the elimination stage.
Wiesberger said he played more freely without any burden of expectation against top seed Johnson.
"I thought it was the easiest game I could have," said the four-times European Tour winner.
"I'm the underdog playing the defending champion, so it was just go out there and see what happens.
"We both didn't have a great day. He gave away a couple of holes quite unexpectedly."
American Suri was another who revelled in the underdog role.
"I like to think I play my best with a little chip on my shoulder," said Suri, who plays mainly on the European Tour where he won the Made in Denmark tournament last August.
"A lot of people are saying congrats on being in the field. I don't think any other tournament they'd say congrats. I want to do more than just be here and take pictures."
Second and fourth seeds Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth won their contests while third seed Jon Rahm halved with Keegan Bradley.
Two-times Masters champion Bubba Watson made a hot start to beat South African Branden Grace 5&3.
"It was perfect," Watson said of his front nine, after racing to a 6-up lead at the turn.
"You couldn't ask for better. He (Grace) was under par on the front nine and somehow I just made a few more. I felt like McIlroy on Sunday." (Reporting by Andrew Both in Cary, North Carolina; Editing by Peter Rutherford )

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457

Large, thick bamboo patches like this one on Highway 53 East can be found all over the county. We spoke with a former County Agent and a Master Gardener to get some insight about how these non-native plants got here.
State Rep. Rick Jasperse, Pickens' County Agent for over three decades, moved here in the early 1980s and became curious about something that's raised my eyebrows, too – giant patches of bamboo, some 30 or 40 feet high, that dot seemingly random spots across the county. All those years ago, Jasperse took it upon himself to figure out how the towering plant made its way to Pickens, so he went to the best resource he could think of – "the old timers."

Hometown: Orlando, FL
Profession: Inshore Fishing Director for Salt Strong
- U.S. Open Stats -
Hey all!
I began my inshore fishing journey in April 2015 after I purchased my first kayak. I had been an avid bass fisherman for as long as I can remember and was looking to expand my fishing knowledge into the saltwater realm. my first inshore species caught from the kayak were spotted seatrout and I was on a mission to catch redfish, as I had never caught one before. After about 5 weekends of just about catching my limits of trout, I finally hooked into my first red, and it was a monster! Being new to inshore and this being the biggest fish I've ever caught on basically my old bass fishing gear, she took me for a ride for about 20 minutes till I was blown into an island from the wind and finished the fight from shore. This fish measured 42″ and was the beginning of my inshore kayak fishing addiction. You can see this fish on my Instagram page – SaltyDawg117 (I have camo shorts, white shirt and blue life jacket on, oh and a beast of a redfish in the pic haha) Shortly after this catch, I found Salt Strong while browsing the Internet, took Luke's online "Inshore Slammer" course, signed up for the first Strong Angler Challenge (which was for redfish spots) and started catching more fish! Everything took off from that moment forward. Every day on the water is a new learning experience and only builds from there. Get out there and get you some!
Aside from my fishing background, I'm from Orlando, Florida and been here pretty much my whole life. Graduated from the University of Central Florida with a BS in Criminal Justice and spend a lot of my time on the water. Fish on!

Since today is the tenth as well as a Monday I figured I'd do a double whammy of 10 Things that make me happy! First… tea. I honestly cannot function without it. Minus my cuppa in the morning I am not even human. I am a Wild Thing!
Secondly… scarves. I actually wear them all year round. Yep… even in the summer. But in winter I get to pull out the big, chunky, woollen ones… love 'em!
Believe it or not, cooking makes me happy. Sometimes I find it relaxing, but mostly I find it satisfying.
Documentaries. Me & Tom watch them a lot. I especially like ones about nature, sea life & Dinosaurs!
Oh Comely magazine. It's similar to the Aussie magazine Frankie but it's British. The artwork they feature is always absolutely stunning 🙂
Family! Top photograph is my brother, my mum & me at my brothers wedding reception three years ago. Second photograph is dad & me when I am but a wee toddler!
Lemon desserts. My absolute favourite! I've heard a rumour at work that we will have lemon cheesecake on the new menu… excited!
Reading. I read a lot. I like to be transported to different worlds, stories, lives…
My Tom. Yep, he makes me pretty darned happy!
Pink. Something about this colour just makes me HAPPY!!!!
So ten things that are guaranteed to make me happy. To link in to 10 Things, pop over to Shimelle's blog!

*My new camera is making me happy. I'm having so much fun with it!
*Very much looking forward to Wednesday as DB & I are renting a houseboat for two nights & taking to the Thames. It should be a lot of fun!
