A north Omaha woman says she will join a high-profile race for a seat in the Nebraska Legislature.
Susan Smith said in a news release that she will announce her official entry Saturday into the race for the District 11 seat held by incumbent Senator Brenda Council.
Council also faces a challenge from former Omaha Senator Ernie Chambers, the longest-serving member of the Nebraska Legislature, who was forced to leave office in 2009 after voters enacted term limits for lawmakers. Chambers won more votes than Council in the two-way primary, but both are well-known in the district.
Smith, a self-described conservative, is the founder of the Nebraskans Advisory Group, which focuses on the negative effects of illegal immigration.

A new survey has revealed that Dublin and Belfast were the top choices for vacation goers in Ireland during the first half of 2012.
The survey carried out by Hotels.com showed that Dublin is the most popular destination for overseas travelers, while Belfast takes second place. The Northern Irish city profited from a particularly busy first six months of the year with the opening of the new Titanic Exhibition Centre in April and a large scale campaign by Tourism Ireland helping to boost visitor numbers.
Cultural hot spot Galway is in third place while Cork is fourth on the chart of home-grown destinations. New to this latest list are Ennis and Sligo which are 9th and 10th respectively.
Top 10 domestic destinations for overseas travelers in 2012:
As for the Irish, although stay-cations have become popular of late, London topped the poll for the most popular overseas destination for Irish travelers. The report shows that London was the most visited overseas city by Irish travelers in the first half of the year, keeping New York and Paris from the top spot.
However, the US remains one of the most popular countries for Irish travelers. New York, Las Vegas, Orlando, San Francisco, Boston, and Chicago all appear on the list and have consistently featured in the Top 20 over the past number of years.

'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Trailer Debut Planned for Thanksgiving Week
Posted on Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 by Peter Sciretta
There has been more speculation about the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer alone than there is for most movies at a whole. First we learned that it had been edited, and that John Williams had recorded new music for the trailer. Then there was a series of rumored descriptions. This week a report claimed that the teaser would premiere attached to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, but we were able to exclusively debunk that rumor and tell you that Disney has "bigger plans".
So when will the Star Wars The Force Awakens trailer debut? This week. When and how? Thats a bit more complicated.

About Mary Barbera
This vacation cottage was orginally owned by my dearest beloved Aunt Sue and Uncle Perry. Every year they invited me for vacation. This was always and still is a cozy and peaceful place to call HOME away from home. The town is an old fishing village and the neighborhood is friendly, pet friendly too. I always looked forward to coming back each year just......... couldn't get enough of the breezy sea air and spectacular sunsets. The yard always reminded me of my very own private sanctuary. it backs up to natural wildlife preservation, and offers shade and serenity. I have lots to do though with the yard and little by little I am planting shrubs and plan to plant a berm of armavitese along the back yard this fall.
Mary Barbera purchased this cottage in 1960
Why Mary Barbera chose Cape May
Fortunately, for me this cozy home I enjoyed as a teenager I now enjoy 35 years later. Only walking distance 100 steps to the beach and surf. Now, I am into my golden years enjoying the peacefulness of listening to the seagulls, the sounds of the water while having my morning coffee. I don't mind a glass of wine in the evening taking in the breeze of the water or a short jaunt to the beach to enjoy the magnificent. sunsets.
What makes this cottage unique
Our home brings back many memories of my family enjoying good times, great meals and beautiful sunsets. If you want peace and quiest, it is here, but if you want more excitement only a 15 min. drive to all the people, amusements, and nightlife.

Seaweed is packed with all sorts of fantastic nutrients including thyroid supporting iodine, omega 3′s and protein, but I've been stumped as to how to get more of it in my diet without just eating loads of veggie sushi. I don't eat fish but even if you do this might be a recipe you should give a try to decrease the amount you're consuming to lessen the strain on the environment with the rate of overfishing, climate change, and pollution taking their toll on many wild species as well as the high environmental impact of farmed fish. I used to adore a mock-tuna called Tuno that came in a can. Today I saw a can of "faux-tuna" in a can and squealed with delight only to see it was made from squid. Yuck! I must be craving it.. no-tuna salad to the rescue! I like this blend of Dulse, Bladderwrack, Irish Moss, and Kelp and my mind is swimming with inspiration for other oceany-meals.
no-tuna salad
1 can chickpeas, drained, rinsed & mashed
1 tbsp veganaise
1 tbsp good olive oil
1 tbsp good grain mustard
1/2 tsp seaweed powder
1 tbsp dill relish
half a celery rib, diced
1 green onion, chopped
Mix everything together in a medium bowl and serve over salad greens or on toast! Enjoy!

Wiki Headlines
18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
Drama over wigs, weaves and such.
I am thinking this new trope would be an extension of Dodgy Toupee, since there are a lot more forms of fake hair. However, they may be different enough to have separate pages. Let us discuss it.
"Tommy that's what you get for messing around with nature man. I told you look: God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and weave!"Some people are blessed enough to keep consistent hair growth throughout their lives. It may turn grey but why worry when some people's hair is consistently getting thinner and shorter with age? Some will simply go bald should they get old enough. Or it may fallout due to stress. Or the roots may get permanently damaged in an accident. Should they count their blessings, simply having lived long enough for this to happen? That they're stress and injuries were not more serious? Maybe, but these characters will not. Some may never have any hair deterioration but will angst anyway because their genetics determined it will not grow as long as another person's. It could go down to their knees but not be of the right curliness or texture. Sometimes it simply will not grow in the "correct" direction. Even if a character's hair grows exactly the way they like it that does not mean they are willing to wait for it to do so either. In these progressive modern times, ludicrous amounts of money is spent on head surgery, dangerously acidic products, scalp burning and prescription drugs but these old school characters will just get a wig, toupe, weave or extension to disguise their hairy issues. Of course the issue never really goes away. Characters tend to be fiercely protective of their fake hair, constantly deny the that it is not actually growing from their head or the frequent butt of jokes to other characters who do not respect their efforts. Any kind of fake hair drama is an example though. Contrast: Bald of Evil

The all new ARIOSO is our latest offering in the DAC / headphones amplifier category. We took our time in order to create something unique which makes us and you the customer happy. Meticulous design and redesign procedures were necessary before this outstanding DAC ultimately is now ready for shipment.
Although the ARIOSO has a well proven ancestor the u:c:a, we had a lot of work to do. Nearly every subassembly has ultimately put to the test and modified when necessary. Some of these improvements are also present in the u:c:a mk2, while others are exclusively employed in the ARIOSO.
What came out is a DAC / headphones amplifier with outstanding characteristics differing from nearly everything the market offers regardless of price.
Product features:
Fully discrete circuit construction no use of operational amplifiers (OP). Even the most sophisticated OP relies on feedback action. Thats the nature of any OP. Years ago we found out, that loop feedback has a bad influence on sound, so we constructed our circuits without that emergency measure. Sorry, OPs are not an option for us, although discrete circuits costs more, consume more power and inhabit more board space.
Asynchronous USB transceiver - any form of jitter in the incoming datastream is compensated by a small buffer. The audio data is clocked out by a local high precision quartz master clock. With this operation mode, the DAC is the master, whereas the computer is the slave. Timing errors are effectively eliminated.
Analogue volume control no use of filter algorithm based attenuation. If someone asks you about the sound of your DAC, you may answer: it depends on the playback level chosen. Many DACs use the inbuilt volume control action of the DAC chip since it is easy and free of charge. Unfortunately the tonal characteristic over the full operating range between -80 dB 0dB changes significantly with this cheap solution. Even if you use a true 32 bit wide volume control, the analogue stages of the actual DAC chip do not sound equal as when driven at full scale. The sound gets progressively paler and thinner, the greater the attenuation level gets, although mathematics predict a wide usable dynamic range.
DSD support DSD64 and DSD128 are supported natively. A direct signal path between the USB transceiver and the DAC chip modulator leaves out the digital interpolator stage common in PCM processing. The full jitter elimination of the incoming data stream due to the asynchronous mode USB transceiver is most important, because reclocking of the DSD signal is not applicable. Therefore, the USB transceiver plays an important part for the over all performance not only in PCM mode but in DSD mode too.
Linear, interference free power supply The power supply used in the ARIOSO is a high current design with heavy filtering. An equivalent of 53.000uF is used for the analogue supply rails.
Easy and intuitive operation no toying around, we already adjusted the circuit to optimal values for the filter algorithms and the filter bandwidth based on critical listening tests with headphones and speakers. The clear and non intrusive concept is also carried out under the hood. When looking inside, you wont find a rats net of cables, instead you will discover a clean layout typical of true High End components.
... no opamp, no cry

Riot introducing new discipline measures in League of Legends
League of Legends is well known in the MOBA scene for having one of the friendliest and helpful gaming communities in the world *cough*. Riot have always been looking for ways to improve the player experience within LoL, they are about to introduce a new way to deal with the 'toxic' players that we all know and love.
"Today, players that show extreme toxicity (intentional feeding or racism, etc) will be instantly (banned for) 14 day or permabanned in #LeagueOfLegends," says Lead Designer of Social Systems Jeffrey Lin.
These strict methods of punishment are not permanently in place at the moment. The new system that should rid the game of some of its more abusive players are being tested, one server at a time for a limited time only.
"We'll be testing one server at a time in small doses to monitor the effectiveness of the system carefully and minimize false positives," states Lin.
Everyone that plays League of Legends understands the pain of playing with toxic players. If you don't, you are that player. They either spam the chat with abuse, feed the enemy intentionally or troll pick pre-game (insert Trundle joke here) and a lot of the time, all of them at once. Riot are working hard in attempt to better their community. These harsh disciplines will rid the game of its nightmares, or at least some of them.
What do you think? Will the threats and promises of permanent and temporary bans calm down players? Let us know your thoughts on the more strict discipline methods Riot are introducing via Twitter, Facebook or below in the comments.

|Salukis come in a variety of coat colours.
|Country of origin
|Dog (Canis lupus familiaris)
|This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: extensive copy-editing needed. (December 2013)
|Salukis come in a variety of coat colours.
|Country of origin
|Dog (Canis lupus familiaris)
The Saluki, Arabic: سلوقی / ALA-LC: salūqī / Persian:سلوکی,سگ تازی also known as the (Slougui) (Arabian Greyhound) (Arabischer Windhund) (Sloughi Moghrebi) (Arabian Sighthound) (Levrier Marocain ) Royal Dog of Egypt or Persian Greyhound is one of the oldest known breeds of domesticated dog. There are petroglyphs and rock arts in Golpaygan and Khomein in central Iran that shows saluki-like hounds and falcons accompanying hunters chasing preys (ca. 8000–10,000 BCE).[1] Also on the potteries found in Susa, Iran (ca. 4200 BCE) are images of saluki-like hounds chasing ibex or lying next to pools.[2][3] and from the period of the Middle Kingdom onwards, Saluki-like animals appear on the ancient Egyptian tombs of 2134 BCE. They have connections to the Avesta,[4] Bible, Koran [5] and Imperial China. Modern breeding in the west began in 1895 when Florence Amherst imported a breeding pair of Salukis from Lower Egypt and began working to popularize the breed. The first registered Salukis in the western studbook were Cyrus and Slongha Peri imported from Iran and registered with the DWZRV.[6] DWZRV also records the first litter in 1922.[7] Salukis were recognized by The Kennel Club in 1923, and by the American Kennel Club in 1929. The breed is also the mascot of Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
The Saluki is a sighthound and historically traveled throughout Iran and through Silk road with caravans and nomadic tribes over an area stretching from the Sahara to the Caspian Sea and China. They have been used to hunt quarry such as gazelles, hares and ibex (mostly in North Iran). Shaped like a typical sighthound, they come in two varieties, smooth and feathered. Though they are an independent breed that needs patient training, they are gentle and affectionate with their owners. Health issues in salukis include cancer and cardiac problems.
Salukis are considered to be one of the oldest dog breeds in existence. The name Saluqi has many theories. Linguistics agree the word Saluqi in Arabic is an adjective referring to where an individual was from. Sir Terence Clark[8][9] reports on four possible locations for the place Saluq including today's Yemen, Iraq and Turkey. In Persian the dog is referred to as Tazi, which means to run and in Kurdish areas Tazi is also used.[10] Also there are two more places with similar names in Northwest Iran near to the other four locations mentioned in Clark's report.
Modern science tells us the origins of all dogs are to the east in China,[11] but we do not know where the origin of the Saluki is located. All along the Silk Road his presence was known for almost as long as the dog has been domesticated, a testimony to his function as a hunter and his beauty as a companion. His image is found in many cultures. There are petroglyphs and rock arts in Golpaygan and Khomein in central Iran that shows saluki-like hounds and falcons accompanying hunters chasing preys (ca. 8000-10,000 BC),[1] recent excavations of the Sumerian empire, estimated at 7000-6000 BC have saluki like finds. Saluki-like images adorn pottery found in Susa.[2][3] and are found appearing on the Egyptian tombs of 2100 B.C.
The nomadic tribes spread the breed across the Middle East from Persia and Egypt, to as far east as Afghanistan and India,[12] and as far south as Sudan.[13]
They were considered to be the "Royal Dog of Egypt".[12] Salukis appear on Egyptian tombs increasingly commonly from The Middle Kingdom (2134 BC – 1785 BC) onward,[14] and have often been found mummified alongside the bodies of the Pharaohs in the Pyramids.[15] It was during the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt that Salukis rose to their place of prominence,[16] replacing the Tesem (thought to be similar to modern Pariah dogs,[17] or a generic term for a dog).[18]
The breed is thought to be the type of dog mentioned in The Bible.[15] Salukis have appeared in medieval paintings regarding the birth of Christ, including Paolo Veronese's 1573 work The Adoration of the Magi (also known as the Adoration of the Kings), currently located at the National Gallery, London.[19][20] Veronese also painted the breed into some of his other religious work, including The Marriage at Cana and The Finding of Moses.[21]
In China examples of the breed were painted by the fifth Ming Emperor Zhū Zhānjī, known more commonly as the Xuande Emperor during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). The inscription on the painting reads "playfully painted [by the] imperial brush" in 1427. Additional red seals were added in later years by owners of the painting, which also reveals that the painting was in the Imperial Chinese collection in the 18th century.[22]
Iran has a long and rich visual history with the Saluki, from early representations on pottery found in Susa, miniatures painted by Master Kamal Uddin Behzad, book illustrations By Abd al-Wahhab ibn 'Abd al-Fattah ibn 'Ali (1516). It is an illustration from manuscript of Khamsa (Quintet) of Nizami, metalsmithing from the reign of the Injuid prince, Jamal al Dine Abu Is'haq, created between 1342 and 1353.[23] One of the more amazing pieces of art in Iran is the Savashi Canyon Relief, carved around 1800, commissioned by Fath Ali Shah Qajar to commemorate his hunting exploits.[24]
Today, the breed is still held in high regard throughout the Middle East, and have been hunting dogs for nobles and rulers around the region. They are considered clean by the Bedouins, and are allowed to be in women's quarters, while other dogs must be kept outside.[25] Sheik Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa, King of Bahrain during the 1930s, was known for a pack of Salukis that accompanied him throughout the Arab world on hunting trips. Following his death, his son Salman ibn Hamad Al Khalifa attempted to keep the lines pure-bred but they became interbred with other breeds. However, the pure-bred lines of the royal kennel were saved by the efforts of Dana Al Khalifa who was given two pure-bred puppies by the King, and about a decade later had around pure-bred Salukis registered with the Kennel Club of Bahrain.[25]
The breed was first brought to Europe in the 12th century, with troops returning from the Crusades in the Middle East, as living proof of the pilgrimage.[12][21] A dog noted as being a Gazelle Hound is featured in a painting of Henry IV, Duke of Saxony, painted in 1514, by Lucas Cranach the Elder. The dog wears a collar decorated with a scallop shell, which was the badge of the pilgrim.[21]
It was not until 1840, that the Salukis were first brought to England. Referred to as Slughis, they and the modern Sloughi were treated as the same breed,[21] however in recent years genetic tests have shown that the two breeds are not interbred.[27] The first successful modern breeding line of Salukis began in 1895, with Florence Amherst (daughter of the 1st Baron Amherst of Hackney). Having seen Salukis on a Nile tour in that year, she imported a breeding pair from the Al Salihah area of Lower Egypt. A champion of breed purity, she struggled alone for nearly three decades, and real Saluki popularity did not take hold until the early 1920s, when officers returning from the war in the Middle East and the Arab Revolt brought their pet Salukis home with them.[28]
One of these was Brigadier General Frederick Lance of the 19th Lancers, and his wife, Gladys, returned to Britain with two Salukis from Sarona, where he was stationed during the post-war occupation. The Lances were both keen hunters, and rode with their pack of dogs, including both Salukis and terriers, to course jackal and Dorcas gazelle whilst stationed in the desert. They imported a male, called Sarona Kelb, who became an influence on the breed in the West.[29]
Together, the Lances and Florence Amherst mounted a campaign for recognition of the Middle Eastern breed, that coincided with the phenomenon of "Tutmania" caused by Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in late 1922. In 1923, the Saluki or Gazelle Hound Club was formed, and the Kennel Club granted official recognition to the breed. Popularity of Salukis dramatically increased, and the Saluki Club of America was founded in 1927, with recognition by The American Kennel Club following in 1929.[30][31]
Imports to England during the inter-war years were chiefly from areas of British military influence and commerce: Bahrain, Egypt, Transjordan, and Iraq. Both Florence Amherst and the Lances imported breeding stock from the latter two countries. Despite substantial populations of Salukis in Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden, none of these were imported to England.[32]
English Salukis (chiefly descendants of Sarona Kelb) were exported to many countries,[33] but by the mid-1930s, interest slackened, and with the outbreak of World War II, breeding and show activities almost entirely stopped. The number of litters was minimal – just enough to keep the breed alive. Food rationing reserved all edible meat for humans, and to prevent the Salukis from dying from starvation or being killed by bombs, some owners euthanized entire kennels.[34] A small number of Saluki kennels survived the war, and along with fresh imports belonging to a second wave of soldiers returning from the Middle East, the slow process of re-establishing the breed began again.[34]
The popularity of the Saluki in the United States, according to the American Kennel Club, has remained relatively stable over the past decade, with the breed ranked 107th in 1999, had decreased to 118th in 2008, but by 2008 had increased once again to 112th.[35] Between 2000 and 2009, 1215 Salukis were registered with The Kennel Club in the UK,[36] while this does not approach the numbers of the more popular breeds,[37] it is in line with similar breeds in the Hound Group such as the Borzoi, which had 1399 puppies registered in the same period.[36] In September 2007, The Kennel Club Art Gallery's 12th exhibition celebrated the Saluki, The Saluki in Art showed a range of exhibits including terracotta and bronze works, along with contemporary artists and a range of trophies from Saluki breed clubs.[38]
Salukis are "sight" hounds, which means they hunt by sight, run the quarry down, catch it, and kill or retrieve it. The normal size range for the breed is 23–28 inches (58–71 cm) high at the withers and 40–60 pounds (18–27 kg) in weight, with females being slightly smaller than males.[39] The Saluki's head is long and narrow with large eyes and drop ears.[39] The tail of the breed is long and curved.[39] It has the typical deep-chested, long legged body of the sighthounds.[40] Their coats come in a variety of colors, including white, cream, fawn, red, grizzle and tan, black and tan, and tricolor (white, black and tan).[12]
The overall appearance of the Saluki is one of grace and symmetry. There are two coat types evident in the Saluki gene pool, smooth and feathered. The feathered variety has light feathering on the back of the legs and thighs.[40] The fur on both varieties is silky to the touch,[41] and is low shedding compared to other breeds.[31]
Historically, Salukis were used by nomadic tribes for hunting. Typical quarry included gazelles, hares, foxes and jackals.[40] In one Bedouin method of hunting hares, the hunter rides close to the quarry on a camel while holding the Saluki, which he throws towards the prey while at speed, giving the dog a running start.[42] Another method, primarily used in hunting gazelles, involved the use of a hawk to gouge out the eyes of the prey, so that a Saluki can then bring down the blinded animal.[43]
A true modern Saluki retains the qualities of hunting hounds and may seem reserved to strangers. An independent and aloof breed, but gentle and affectionate, they can be difficult to train and any such training should be gentle and patient.[44] They can get bored easily, and should not be left at home unattended for long periods.[45] Sensitive and intelligent, the Saluki should never be trained using force or harsh methods, and typically does not enjoy rough games or typical dog games such as retrieving balls. Early socialization is required to prevent timidity and shyness in later life.[44] Given their hunting instincts, they are prone to chasing moving objects.[31]
While the Greyhound is credited as being the fastest dog breed up to distances of around 800 metres (2,600 ft), both the Saluki and Whippet breeds are thought to be faster over longer distances. The 1996 edition of the Guinness Book of Records lists a Saluki as being the fastest dog, reaching a speed of 68.8 kilometres (42.8 mi) per hour.[46] Due to its heavily padded feet being able to absorb the impact on its body, it has remarkable stamina when running.[41]
Hip dysplasia is uncommon in Salukis, with the breed ranking joint lowest in a survey by the British Veterinary Association in 2003. The breed scored an average of 5 points, with a score of 0 being low, while 106 is high.[47] In a 2006 breed specific survey conducted by The Kennel Club and the British Small Animal Veterinary Association Scientific Committee, responses highlighted several health issues. The primary cause of death identified was that of cancer, being responsible for 35.6% of deaths, with the most common forms being that of liver cancer or lymphoma. The secondary cause of death was cardiac related, with forms such as heart failure, or unspecified heart defects. Old age is listed as the third most frequent cause of death.[48]
Cardiomyopathy, heart murmur and other cardiac issues were present in 17.2% of responses while dermatolic conditions such as dermatitis or alopecia were reported by 10.8% of responses.[48] Salukis have an average lifespan of 12 to 14 years.[44]

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Allen Craig hit a bloop RBI single off Brewers closer John Axford to take the lead, and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 on Monday night.
Milwaukee was leading 2-0 going into the ninth but Axford struggled with his control right away, eventually loading the bases with two outs and giving up a game-tying, two-run single to Matt Holliday.
Axford (2-6) then was lifted after giving up the single to Craig, which dropped softly into shallow left field. Axford left the game to a steady stream of boos from the crowd.
Axford's sloppy inning wasted another strong performance by Brewers starter Mike Fiers, who pitched seven scoreless innings.
Jason Motte (4-3) claimed the win.

text: Obama's Weak Foreign Policy: He's Just Fulfilling a Campaign Promise Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 18 Mar 2014 post a comment There has been a chorus of criticism--and ridicule--surrounding President Barack Obama's response to Russia's impending annexation of Crimea. Having failed, after several long telephone conversations, to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Obama is now responding with sanctions against seven--seven--individuals in the Russian government. Charles Krauthammer called Obama's response "humiliating," and it certainly is. But say this for Obama: he is keeping his campaign promise. In 2008, Obama repeatedly promised something called "tough diplomacy" with America's rivals. "I will initiate tough diplomacy with our enemies," he promised in May 2008, adding that he would meet them "without preconditions although with preparation." Obama never bothered to define the term "tough diplomacy," but it meant something less than "tough talk." He slammed his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, for wanting "tough talk" with Iran: "And that's the policy that John McCain is running on. He has nothing to offer except the naive and irresponsible belief that tough talk from Washington will somehow cause Iran to give up its nuclear program and support for terrorism." What was "tough diplomacy," if not "tough talk"? In practical terms, it meant showing that the U.S.--or at least its enlightened leader--was prepared to break with precedent and show that he considered the interests and beliefs of America's enemies to be legitimate. He was prepared to call Ayatollah Ali Khamenei the "Supreme Leader," if it made compromise easier. In the latest crisis, Secretary of State John Kerry has recognized "Russia has deep historical, cultural, and other kinds of interests with respect to Ukraine and particularly Crimea." So "tough diplomacy" meant an inverted kind of political courage, on the part of the Obama administration, to yield to the worldview of whoever was challenging American interests and allies, in the hope they would then be inclined to reciprocate with real-world concessions. That is the "21st century" ethic to which Kerry has clung in recent weeks, as opposed to the "19th century" method of simply declaring what you want, and taking it. The idea of "tough diplomacy" reached its zenith in contrast to a caricature of President George W. Bush. As Obama said, angrily: "...in the Bush-McCain worldview, everyone who disagrees with their failed Iran policy is a 'appeaser.'" The American people, he said, "are ready to reject this approach and to choose the future." He had no use for the lessons of the past--which is why we are losing the present. "Tough diplomacy," as advertised.

JFK's Emigrant Flame went out in Wexford – just four days after it arrived to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his homecoming trip to Ireland.
The Irish Sun has reported that the flame, lit from the Eternal Flame, in memory of John F Kennedy for the past 50 years was extinguished after its trans-Atlantic journey.
The Emigrant Flame went out last Wednesday due to 'technical glitches' according to embarrassed Wexford Council officials.
New Ross town manager Eamonn Hore told the paper that 'a build-up of soot' led to it being extinguished.
Hore said: "We expected teething problems in the first few months as we try and get the balance right between the amount of oxygen, the pressure of the gas and the build-up of soot.
"There are sensors, too, which tell us if it is about to go out or not so we have to factor them in too."
Hore added that while the flame did go out for a few minutes, the original flame was still kept burning.
He said: "This is because three miners' lamps, which the flame arrived in from the US, are being kept by the council to relight the fire if needed."
The paper says The Emigrant Flame was brought across the Atlantic after being relit from the Eternal Flame, which has pride of place by the ex-US president's graveside in Arlington, Virginia.
The Irish Army was deployed to bring it safely to Dublin on a flight before the Navy took over to get it to Wexford.
The flame was then ignited in New Ross by JFK's daughter Caroline as part of the commemorations of his visit to Ireland in 1963.

GCTV Segment on The Linens Project
The day of the opening at the Western Mass RLC Alicia Brody from Greenfield Community Television interviewed me in my studio. Given how exhausted I was from getting ready for the opening I wasn't sure how wise an idea that was, but Alicia did an incredible job with the material she got from our interview. She also filmed the reading that was done during the opening, and included Jessica Star "reading" (embodying is more accurate a description) my poem "Directions for Reading Poetry" in this segment. It was a joy to get to work with Alicia, and I hope we can work together again in the future.
Opening of The Linens Project at Western Mass RLC, March 7, 2014
Finished Piece, ready to be hung!
My husband wanted to be part of this project and taught himself how to embroider. This was his first piece–it's a terrible picture, but it does give you an idea of what it looks like. He did a great job, and was a good sport when I handed him the baby pink floss….
February 28, 2014
Shortly after I began work on The Linens Project my life was shattered by exposure to toxic mold, which in turn pushed my symptoms from Lyme disease to where they were crippling. On good days I worked on this project—cleaning linens, writing drafts of blog posts, learning to embroider. There weren't a lot of good days. But I believed in this project, and was determined to see it happen.
It turns out I wasn't the only one who believed in this project and was determined to see it happen. Friends asked if they could embroider a poem—which in and of itself was generous, but more so given that while most of my friends are artists, almost none had ever done embroidery. As the date for the opening of The Linens Project at the Western Mass RLC came closer I had a friend offer to write my press release—which a lifesaver given how confused I've been. Other friends have worked to help get the word out about the opening. So while the poetry on the linens is my work, and the vision is mine, this has become something far bigger than me. And I am both excited and humbled by how people have come forward to be a part of this project, and I see it continuing after this first show in Greenfield.
I still have the almost finished drafts of blog posts about what has happened with this project, and I will be posting them as they are finished. Until then, here is the press release that Marianne Connolly wrote for the opening next week.
Dates: March 7 – June 7, 2014
Opening reception and poetry reading: March 7, 6-9:00 pm
Location: Western Mass. RLC; 74 Federal Street, Greenfield, MA
Open Hours: Monday – Wednesday 1-4:00 pm; Friday 2:30-5:00 pm

Greenfield, Massachusetts
Laura Gail Grohe is a poet with a passion for language and history. In The Linens Project she literally stitches those passions together by embroidering her poems on antique linens such as table runners, napkins and baby clothes. These compelling works are sometimes lyrical, like the love poem stitched on a table runner, and sometimes challenging, like the poem about abuse embroidered on a baby's christening gown.
Grohe collects her linens from junk stores and tag sales, finding it hard to leave behind a placemat or a handkerchief that has embroidery or handmade lace but is being sold for a dollar. She repairs, washes, starches and irons before the pieces are embroidered, reflecting the labor of women in the past who worked on these same linens. Although she's expert at intricate beading, Grohe wasn't experienced with embroidery, and a team, including her husband and friends, worked with her on the series. On March 7, at the opening reception, many of those people will read the poems they worked with.
The Linens Project is the final show in the "Life Systems" series, curated by artist Adrian Montagano. The series concept invited artists to explore the question: What do you see and experience in life that is not part of "consensus reality." The exhibit will be at the Western Mass. RLC from March 7 through June 7, 2014. The opening reception will be on March 7 from 6 to 9:00 pm, with a poetry reading by Grohe and other area artists.
You can read more about this project on Grohe's blog: http://linensproject.wordpress.com/
You are a Buddhist
and I'm a witch
We meet here
on plains of fire
to build with air
the word
of God ourselves
from bone deep stillness.
Creatures of spirit
made of dust and hope.
We ride waves
of language.
and weave shadows
from light.
Spinning, spinning, spinning
we raise the new day.
Laura Gail Grohe
What Is the Linens Project?
This project began with a poem.
In 2010 I had the opportunity to take a week long workshop with Marge Piercy. At the end of the week she asked us what we could get rid of in our lives that was taking time away from our poetry. There was no judgement or blame in the question, but she was adamant about the need for each of us to answer the question for ourselves. In that moment, sitting in a room with 12 other extraordinary, committed poets it was easy to decide to jettison anything that distracted me from my poetry.
Now, I love searching in junk stores for hidden treasures. And I have a lot of junk from those junk stores, junk that if I took the time to (fill in the blank) it would be returned to its former glory. It's especially hard for me to leave behind something that has been hand embroidered or has handmade lace edging it when it is priced for a dollar. It almost physically hurts me to see that piece of fabric that someone has labored over for hours, being sold basically as junk. But even when I buy them I never did much with them other than wash them.
When I returned home from the workshop with Marge I wrote the following poem:
I find an old shirt, stitched long ago, by a woman now dust.
The asking price is a quarter, a bargain by some reckonings,
an insult by others.
I ache for that forgotten woman, her discarded handwork
selling for less than the cost of her fabric.
I want to bring this treasure home,
soak it until it shines white,
stitch the torn places, starch the collar.
Fingering the soft shirt I ask the hard question:
Do I value this shirt more than my poetry?
Is the time spent repairing and reclaiming
worth more than the poems I could write?
I gently return the shirt to the bin,
knowing its maker would approve.
Flash forward two years. I had taken this poem to heart, and had narrowed my focus to poetry and beads (I work part time at a bead store). A friend and I were selling our jewelery at a church sale, and at the end of the day they were selling everything you can jam in a bag for a dollar. My friend knew I loved old linens, so she grabed the ones that were lying in with the Pez dispensers, chia pets without seeds, and other end of tag sale trash.
A week later,, as I was ironing one of the now beautifully white place mats, I started to get mad at myself for loosing focus with my poetry, and in one of those moments that should involve a burning bush it hit me. The placemat was approximately the same size and shape as a piece of paper. I knew in that moment that I needed to put my poetry onto the linens I had collected.
Initially I thought I would have other people paint or draw my poems onto the linens (my handwriting is atrocious), but it was made clear to me that to maintain the integrity of my vision the poems needed to be embroidered onto the linens. I did not know how to do embroidery. However, I do a lot of other handwork, and in particular I do intricate, labor intensive beadweaving. I figured I could learn to do embroidery.
As I talked about this project with people I was surprised at the excitement it generated, and surprised that all kinds of people were excited by it, it didn't matter if they read poetry or liked old linens, everyone wanted me to do this project. I was approached by two friends who were the curators of a juried series of art shows. They were familiar with my poetry and beadwork, and had heard me talk about this project. They asked me to submit a proposal to the series, even though I had not yet learned to embroider. They had that much faith in me, and they wanted to see my vision made real. I got into the series. And so it began.

Exclusive: Dan Bilzerian Talks To SOFREP "For The Record"
The Hollywood Reporter came out with a story earlier this week that hit a nerve in the SEAL community. Former BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL) trainee-turned actor Dan Bilzerian was suing the producers of Lone Survivor regarding a reported $1 million he put into the project in return for a role in the movie.
"According to the suit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, producers Randall Emmett and George Furla agreed Bilzerian could play the role of Sr. Chief Healy in the Navy SEAL drama, and that he would "appear recognizably" in the film for at least eight minutes and speak at least 80 words of dialogue. But Bilzerian says he appears in the film for less than one minute and has just one line." from the Hollywood Reporter
For those of you not familiar, Lone Survivor is a movie based on the best-selling book written by former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell.
Our first coverage on the lawsuit blew up in more ways than one, the SOFREP Facebook page turned into a complete shit show, and out of respect for fallen Navy SEAL Dan Healy we yanked the post.
We received a number of reports from the SEAL community about Bilzerian when the Hollywood Reporter article came out, some of which stated he was a DOR (Drop on Request). I also received a message on Twitter from Dan asking for a phone call. When we spoke on the phone, he asked SOFREP set the record straight about his BUD/S training, and gave us the following statement:
"I completed hell week in 229, got rolled then dropped 3 weeks after for compound stress fractures. Went back in 238, made it 2 days before graduation on the island and, got rolled back to beginning of second phase with 239, got a couple of weeks before graduation and got admin dropped for no real good reason. The producers begged me to put the million dollars into Lone Survivor as they couldn't meet their budget, and had I not done so, the movie prob wouldn't have gotten made. I requested to play Dan Healey as he was the guy who pulled my friend Laz Cor off the chopper and took his place. He died trying to save Marcus, and they weren't even going to mention him in the movie. He died not because he was ordered to, but because he demanded to go. I met with Dan's mother, visited his memorial, and the family was happy he was represented in the movie, after all he gave his life, I think a cameo is the least they could do for him. The producers and directors promised me eight minutes of screen time, and for Dan to have a memorable role in the movie, this was not honored, so they will be sued for a breach of contract." -Dan Bilzerian
I've verified that Dan was in BUD/S 229, 238, and 239 before being dropped from training with class 239 for a safety violation on the shooting range. To address the "no good reason" comment from Dan, in my opinion it's likely that his instructors felt that he wasn't a good fit for the SEAL community and were looking for any excuse to drop him from training. This why we call it a "selection" process, and it doesn't end, even when you get to your SEAL Team. Dan, as a former instructor myself, I know that your instructors did have a good reason. Reflect on the reason and become a better man for it. After all, you did complete 99% of one of the hardest military selection courses in the world.
I'd encourage you to read the full legal complaint here.

JHR big_hatdance Can anyone say Erik Prince? Shuts that theory down...in a big way!!!
deleted_10984539_Virginstateofmind He got the part I think
Virginstateofmind I guess I didn't catch that. I personally don't think its a big deal. But i wasn't there or involved so perhaps that would piss some people off and that is their right. I was very impressed the lengths he went to get the movie as right as possible. He seemed very respectful of all those involved from the the support to the main players in "Lone Survivor".
http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/segment/peter-berg-lone-survivor-battleship/51f6b372fe34441a3e0007e6 why Peter Berg is first class all the way.
Wingman big_hatdance Thats a good summation. A person is a but a part of their sums. Take away humility and several other factors and the ability to become a true warrior is lost. Dan seems to be living the life he choses; that is his choice. I don't see bad or good in Dan, I just see a man whose choices are different than that of a true warrior and hero.

Criticism of Mother Teresa
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2014)
|This article possibly contains original research. (August 2014)
|The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (August 2014)
This article concerns the Albanian-born Roman Catholic nun and missionary[1] Mother Teresa and examines some of the criticism lodged against her. For a more complete picture of the person, see the article Mother Teresa.
Criticism from the media[edit]
An Indian-born writer living in Britain, Aroup Chatterjee, who had briefly worked in one of Mother Teresa's homes, began investigations into the finances and other practices of Teresa's order. In 1994, two British journalists, Christopher Hitchens and Tariq Ali, produced a critical British Channel 4 documentary, Hell's Angel, based on Chatterjee's work.
The next year, Hitchens published The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice, a pamphlet which repeated many of the accusations in the documentary. Chatterjee himself published The Final Verdict in 2003, a less polemic work than those of Hitchens and Ali, but equally critical of Teresa's operations.
Mother Teresa had a short response to her critics: "No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work".
Support of Indira Gandhi[edit]
After Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's suspension of civil liberties in 1975, Mother Teresa said: "People are happier. There are more jobs. There are no strikes." These approving comments were seen as a result of the friendship between Teresa and the Congress Party. Mother Teresa's comments were even criticized outside India within Catholic media. (Chatterjee, p. 276.)
Stance on abortion[edit]
From the early 1970s, Mother Teresa began to attract some criticism. Many advocates of the family planning and pro-choice movements were critical of her views and influence because she was opposed to artificial contraception and abortion. Mother Teresa frequently spoke against them publicly and in meetings with high level government officials. In her Nobel Prize acceptance speech, she declared, "Abortion is the worst evil, and the greatest enemy of peace... Because if a mother can kill her own child, what will prevent us from killing ourselves or one another? Nothing."
In the aftermath of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, it was determined that more than 450,000 Hindu women in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) had been systematically raped. Even in these circumstances she asserted her rejection of abortion by publicly denouncing abortion as an option and by calling upon the women left behind to keep their unborn children. She characterized her views later when asked in 1993 about a 14-year-old rape victim in Ireland, "Abortion can never be necessary... because it is pure killing."
This stance is in line with that of the Roman Catholic Church, which asserts natural family planning is the only acceptable form of birth control, even in cases where conception is the result of sexual abuse or rape.
Baptisms of the dying[edit]
Mother Teresa encouraged members of her order to baptize dying patients, without regard to the individual's religion. In a speech at the Scripps Clinic in California in January 1992, she said: "Something very beautiful... not one has died without receiving the special ticket for St. Peter, as we call it. We call baptism ticket for St. Peter. We ask the person, do you want a blessing by which your sins will be forgiven and you receive God? They have never refused. So 29,000 have died in that one house [in Kalighat] from the time we began in 1952."
Critics have argued that patients were not provided sufficient information to make an informed decision about whether they wanted to be baptized and the theological significance of a Christian baptism.
Some of Mother Teresa's defenders have argued that baptisms are either soul-saving or harmless and hence the criticisms would be pointless (a variant of Pascal's Wager). Simon Leys, in a letter to the New York Review of Books, wrote: "Either you believe in the supernatural effect of this gesture – and then you should dearly wish for it. Or you do not believe in it, and the gesture is as innocent and well-meaningly innocuous as chasing a fly away with a wave of the hand."
Questionable relationships[edit]
In 1981, Teresa flew to Haiti to accept the Legion d'Honneur from the right-wing dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier, who, after his ouster, was found to have stolen millions of dollars from the impoverished country. There she said that the Duvaliers "loved their poor", and that "their love was reciprocated".
Criticism was leveled at what some perceived to be Mother Teresa's endorsement of the aggressively atheist regime of Enver Hoxha in communist Albania. She had visited Albania in August 1989, where she was received by Hoxha's widow, Nexhmije, Foreign Minister Reis Malile, Minister of Health, Ahmet Kamberi, the Chairman of the People's Assembly Petro Dode, and other state and party officials. She subsequently laid a bouquet on Hoxha's grave, and placed a wreath on the statue of Mother Albania, without commenting on the Albanian Communist party's human rights violations and suppression of religion.[2]:82 However, her supporters defended such associations, saying she had to deal with political realities of the time in order to lobby for her causes. By the time of her death, the Missionaries of Charity had houses in most Communist countries.
She also accepted money from the British publisher Robert Maxwell, who, as was later revealed, embezzled UK£450 million from his employees' pension funds. There is no suggestion that she was aware of any theft before accepting the donation in either case; criticism instead focuses on Teresa's plea for leniency in the Keating case, her refusal to return the money, and the lack of media investigations of her relationships to these individuals.
Motivation of charitable activities[edit]
Chatterjee stated that the public image of Mother Teresa as a "helper of the poor" was misleading, and that only a few hundred people are served by even the largest of the homes. In 1998, among the 200 charitable assistance organizations reported to operate in Calcutta, Missionaries of Charity was not ranked among the largest charity organizations–with the Assembly of God charity notably serving a greater number of the poor at 18,000 meals daily.[3]
Chatterjee alleged that many operations of the order engage in no charitable activity at all but instead use their funds for missionary work. He stated, for example, that none of the eight facilities that the Missionaries of Charity run in Papua New Guinea have any residents in them, being purely for the purpose of converting local people to Catholicism.
She was sometimes accused by Hindus in her adopted country of trying to convert the poor to Catholicism by "stealth".[4] Christopher Hitchens described Mother Teresa's organization as a cult which promoted suffering and did not help those in need. He said that Mother Teresa's own words on poverty proved that her intention was not to help people, quoting her words at a 1981 press conference in which she was asked: "Do you teach the poor to endure their lot?" She replied: "I think it is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot, to share it with the passion of Christ. I think the world is being much helped by the suffering of the poor people."[2]:11[5]
Mother Teresa and her possible defenders apparently did not feel a need to directly answer most of these allegations. Some defenders of the order argue that missionary activity was the central part of Teresa's calling.[citation needed]
Quality of medical care[edit]
In 1991, Robin Fox, editor of the British medical journal The Lancet visited the Home for Dying Destitutes in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and described the medical care the patients received as "haphazard". He observed that sisters and volunteers, some of whom had no medical knowledge, had to make decisions about patient care, because of the lack of doctors in the hospice. Fox specifically held Teresa responsible for conditions in this home, and observed that her order did not distinguish between curable and incurable patients, so that people who could otherwise survive would be at risk of dying from infections and lack of treatment.
Fox conceded that the regimen he observed included cleanliness, the tending of wounds and sores, and kindness, but he noted that the sisters' approach to managing pain was "disturbingly lacking". The formulary at the facility Fox visited lacked strong analgesics which he felt clearly separated Mother Teresa's approach from the hospice movement. There have been a series of other reports documenting inattention to medical care in the order's facilities. Similar points of view have also been expressed by some former volunteers who worked for Teresa's order. Mother Teresa herself referred to the facilities as "Houses of the Dying".
In contrast to the conditions at her homes, Mother Theresa sought medical treatment for herself at renowned medical clinics in the United States, Europe, and India, drawing charges of hypocrisy from critics such as Hitchens.
Destination of donations[edit]
It has been alleged by former employees of Mother Teresa's order that Teresa refused to authorize the purchase of medical equipment, and that donated money was instead transferred to the Vatican Bank for general use, even if it was specifically earmarked for charitable purposes. See Missionaries of Charity for a detailed discussion of these allegations. Mother Teresa did not disclose her order's financial situation except where she was required to do so by law.
Posthumous criticisms[edit]
Mother Teresa died in 1997. Despite her request that all writing and correspondence be destroyed, a collection was posthumously released to the public in book form.[6] Her writings revealed that she struggled with feelings of disconnectedness that were in contrast to the strong feelings she had experienced as a young novice.[7] In her letters Mother Teresa describes a decades long sense of feeling disconnected from God[8] and lacking the earlier zeal which had characterized her efforts to start the Missionaries of Charity. As a result of this, she was judged by some to have 'ceased to believe'.[9] Because of these statements she has been posthumously criticized for hypocrisy.
The Showtime program Penn & Teller: Bullshit! has an episode titled "Holier than Thou" that criticizes Mother Teresa, as well as Mahatma Gandhi and the 14th Dalai Lama. The show criticizes Mother Teresa's controversial relationships with Charles Keating and the Duvalier family, as well as the quality of medical care in her home for the dying. Christopher Hitchens appears on, and narrates some of the episode.[10]

I do hope you are aware that the US military enlists non-nationals into active duty. They don't even need to be
residents of the US. We have
enlisted tens of thousands of Philippines citizens into our military by direct enlistment on their
soil, not ours. And that enlistment did not necessarily assure either citizenship or a Green Card
when the enlistment is up.
Just pointing out that the game is played by the US too.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

We already have a number of schools with armed officers and as OD previously mentioned, Clinton brought armed officers in schools during his administration. So with this in mind, can we conclude that Rahm Emanuel is saying that the schools that already have this successfully in place as well as Clinton's action is/was "outrageous and unsettling"?
Where is the outcry about armed guards in banks, to guard our money? But they are outraged by trained armed guards in our schools to protect our childen,unbeliveable! Freedom is never free!

Steve And Landyn Hutchinson Host Early Holiday Party At Amplatz Children's HospitalPosted by on December 23, 2010 – 7:21 am
Steve Hutchinson and his wife, Landyn, hosted an early Holiday Part for young patients and their families – roughly 100 people – at the University of Minnesota Children's Amplatz Hospital on Tuesday.
This is a tradition the Hutchinsons have started, as they hold a similar event each year on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
The event took place at its usual location – the Bridges Cafeteria – and several of Hutchinson's teammates joined as well, including Ben Leber, Freddie Brown, Patrick Brown, Jon Cooper, Phil Loadholt and John Sullivan. The Hutchinsons purchased gifts for each patient at the party and then Leber led the group of players on visits to patients throughout the hospital who were unable to attend the event.
Since signing with the Vikings in 2006, the Hutchinsons have been active in the local community. They regularly host Holiday parties at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital and Hutchinson also hosts a golf tournament each summer that benefits the Hospital. Hutchinson also hosts a separate celebrity golf tournament each year that benefits Mott's Children's Hospital and he took part in the 2008 Minnesota Governor's Fishing Opener.

The pilot stated that the airplane yawed when he added power on final approach to the runway. The wings rocked, the controls became unresponsive, and the airplane "stalled." Witnesses reported that the airplane approached the runway "low and slow," and that the wings "rocked." The right wing then dipped, the airplane "curved" to its right, and then descended from view. The pilot and a back seat passenger survived the accident, but the front seat passenger was fatally injured. Emergency workers reported that the passenger's seat belt was not fastened.
