Skip to comments.Burn Down the Suburbs?
Posted on 08/01/2012 11:02:25 AM PDT by neverdem
click here to read article
"One approach is to force suburban residents into densely packed cities.."
As the son of a Warsaw Ghetto survivor, the idea of packing people into cities should be a great danger sign. No, I'm not saying that they're planning to send everyone to the gas chambers, just that this level of central planning of people's lives has a tyrannical notion of absolute power to control people, to herd them wherever you want...
"UN Agenda 21"
I guess we can say that until we're blue in the face. I work with a guy that always goes there.
Guess what. People yawn and try to figure out if they have a meeting in 5 minutes. IT MEANS NOTHING - except to some Ron Paul people in the know. In other words, no one, at all, gets persuaded, at all.
The totalitarian left hates it when the people are free to escape their crazy ideas, policies, ordinances and laws.
Too many people concentrated in a small area with a load of restrictions, I don't care who lives there, they arn't going to be happy for long.
Clinton moved a lot of gang members out of the city through HUD programs. Maybe he was in on it.
Be sure to build a wall around it first, so they can't escape.
The British didn't, and it may have cost them the war. Learn from their mistake, so history doesn't repeat itself. ;-')
Really? The very same people who have left over Obama bumper stickers on their cars/vans from 2008?
Liberal elites want to destroy happy people living in suburbs... and the suburbs that support their lifestyle. What's a happy person - and a traditional family compared to one more miserable person existing in a liberal hellhole - but voting dem....
Elites want us broken.
And there was a study not too long ago that city living causes mental and physical health problems, from all the stress. I would never want to live in a big city. I love living close to Houston, Los Angeles, where ever we are living at the current time. But I am always happy to go home at night!
And if Obama thinks only whites move out of the cities when they can afford to, he must not know about black sports stars, singing stars, rap stars, movie stars, business people like Oprah, they all move out of the ghetto into the suburbs as soon as possible!

Hartford - Commissioners of various state agencies met with Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's Sandy Hook Advisory Commission Friday to discuss how the state could better respond in the aftermath of the Newtown tragedy.
They described what they learned as they and others worked through the days after the shooting of 26 elementary school students and staff but said they didn't have all the answers.
"There are so many things that you are just not prepared for, and Dec. 14 was one," Joette Katz, commissioner of the Department of Children and Families, said.
Katz and Patricia Rehmer, Commissioner of Mental Health and Addiction Services, Commissioner of Education Stefan Pryor and Commissioner of Public Health Jewel Mullen discussed how they have worked together since the tragedy and what else might be done to help the state and the community of Newtown get to a healthy place.
David Schonfeld, director of the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement and a Sandy Hook commission member, asked the commissioners whether a quick training for teachers on how to support children dealing with crisis or loss is needed.
Rehmer said she didn't have a precise answer but that it was clear by the Sunday after the tragedy that teachers and staff were as traumatized as the children and were being asked to return to school and "be normal."
The state agencies used some of the lessons learned after Sept. 11, 2001, but the impact of "children under a certain age" being murdered was different, she said.
"We had to deal with their (teachers and administrators) trauma before we could put them in the classrooms with children who were highly traumatized," Rehmer said.
"We have to think about how to deal with that better," she said.
Sandy Hook commissioners also asked whether first responders, service providers and staff in general had been given the chance to debrief.
Rehmer said the state has used outside help to debrief some of the first responders because they are the people who normally do the debriefing. Mullen said often, first responders wouldn't seek help, but that she has seen a mobilization of support within the first responders' community.
They "sometimes even tell about their own PTSD, in the moment," she said.
Katz said more needs to be done to educate people about post-traumatic stress disorder and its symptoms.
Many first responders come from a little town where a traffic ticket is the activity of the day, she said.
"My concern is that people will self-medicate and won't just self-medicate with alcohol, they will self-medicate with other substances," Katz said.
Agency commissioners agreed that although they met regularly and divided up tasks immediately after the trauma, a more coordinated effort should be prepared.
Rehmer said a short-term school support team could be created to help school districts resume normal operations. Pryor said teacher training programs should be re-evaluated to better prepare teachers to deal with trauma.
The state also should examine how feedback from school psychologists can be incorporated into teachers' professional development plans, he said.
"Whatever you do, I think it can't be a one-shot deal because anyone who has ever taken CPR … good luck, because memories fade and literature changes," Katz said.
Alice Forrester, executive director of Clifford Beers Clinic and Sandy Hook Advisory Commission member, said coming up with comprehensive solutions is going to "take a lot of work and effort."
"I feel like the commissioners are really willing to put time in. They cleared Fridays between now and forever," she said.
The commission is expected to present a report to Malloy on March 15, but the initial letter to members said the deadline might be as far in the future as December, said Harold Schwartz, Sandy Hook Advisory Commission member and vice president for behavioral health at The Institute of Living.

Ian Macdonald's wining, dining and mining
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- March 19, 2013
OVER a meal of suckling pig, oysters, duck and top-of-the-range red, Ian Macdonald signed away a mining licence that put millions in the pockets of his union mates, a corruption inquiry heard yesterday.
It was an $1800 "signing ceremony" at the exclusive Catalina restaurant which saw one of the men involved in the deal, upon learning of the potential size of the Hunter Valley resource, boast "you will understand why I can't wipe the smile off my face, merry bloody Christmas".
But it was no festive pay day for the state, with ICAC suggesting the state suffered "a financial disaster" and "gained almost nothing" from the tenement, which became a "goldmine" for a select few including former CFMEU national president John Maitland.
The corruption watchdog has turned its gaze to the former resources minister's handing of the "hot property" Doyles Creek mining tenement.
The inquiry was told yesterday an "astounding" process was adopted by Mr Macdonald in late 2008 to ensure the exploration licence went to his friend Mr Maitland and other associates without a normal competitive tender - allegedly for the purpose of a running a training mine.
Mr Maitland is said to have made almost a 9000 per cent profit from the deal, after an original outlay of $165,698 resulted in an almost $15 million windfall by late 2011.
Former Obeid worker pleads guilty to crime
"(It) was essentially gifted to a group of entrepreneurs which included John Maitland," Peter Braham SC, the counsel assisting the inquiry, said in his opening address.
He said the decision to grant the exploration licence to Doyles Creek Mining was made against department and industry advice - and signed off over the lavish meal at Catalina on December 15, 2008.
"As the ink dried, a magnum of pinot noir (worth $350) helped wet the celebration," Mr Braham said.
The restaurant bill, tendered yesterday, reveals several bottles of wine with starting prices of $100 were enjoyed by the man once referred to as "Sir Lunchalot" and the Doyles Creek Mining group, as well as plates of duck, suckling pig, cheese, beef tenderloin and oysters.
Less than a fortnight later Mr Maitland's associate, Craig Ransley, wrote an email to the group after learning of the potential resource size of the licence which could attract lucrative overseas investors: "When you read you will understand why I can't wipe the smile off my face, merry bloody Christmas."
The commission's new inquiry is the third and final of three explosive investigations run by ICAC into the former state Labor government.
It will will examine allegations that Mr Macdonald "intended to and did confer an improper benefit" on Mr Maitland and others connected to him.
The hearing was told Mr Macdonald will say the decision was based on the Doyles Creek entrepreneurs turning it into a training mine, but that claim "will be entirely repudiated".
"One thing we can say now is Mr Macdonald's version as to why he did what he did does not stack up," Mr Braham told the inquiry.
The inquiry continues tomorrow.

We've created a new meeting request in our own Calendar, and invited other people to take part in the meeting with us. But what does it look like when you're invited to attend a meeting? Well, we have a meeting invitation in my Calendar right now. I can tell it's a meeting invitation because it has a different icon beside it than an e-mail, which has just a little envelope. In this case, it looks like a calendar grid with a little envelope in the top right-hand corner. There's also a little bell icon here, and that indicates there's a reminder attached to this also. I can Left-click on it here to see the results in the Reading pane, and up at the top, I have some buttons that I might use to respond to this meeting request.
But if I want to see all the details, I can double-click on it to open it up in its own window. Here, I have all information about this meeting request, and up in the Ribbon I have various responses and actions that I can take. Now, I can either Accept or Decline or set it as Tentatively accepted at this point, or, I can choose to go into the Actions group and click on Calendar, and this is great because the issue really is, I've been invited to take part in this meeting, does it fit into my Calendar or not? Do I have time? If I click on Calendar, it's going to take me directly to that day on the Calendar.
I can scroll down here, and it's tentatively put it in. Notice the little barber pole looking line to the left here, that indicates it's not really been added, but this is where it would fit if I choose to accept it. So I can see that currently, it fits in nicely with my Calendar. I've got another meeting before it, but there's a little bit of time in between, and I've got a couple of meetings that day, but it does fit in here. So that gives me the information I need to make my next decision, which is, how should I respond? In the Respond group, I can choose to Accept it. And if I accept it, of course it will add it to my Calendar.
By default, it will send the response now, and if I choose OK, it will send a simple message back to the person who requested the meeting, saying that I accepted. Now I can choose to edit that responce to add more text, add another question, or just communicate some additional information to that person who invited me if I choose, or I can not send a response. If I don't send a response, it still adds it to my Calendar, it's just not to let the person who invited me know I accepted it. That's probably not a good idea. It would be a good idea to let them know. I'm just going to Cancel for now and show you some of the other responses.
We could Tentatively accept this. So we could tentatively accept it, it'll put it in our Calendar but mark it as a tentative item, and then we'd have the ability to go back and respond to it again later on, when we confirm that we're going to attend or not. We can also Decline. If you choose to decline, it's going to by default ask you to edit the response before sending. Of course, I can ignore that, but in many cases, if you're declining altogether a meeting invitation, you may want to communicate and let the person know why you've declined and what the issue is. Maybe you're going to be away on vacation or something like that.
You may also Propose a New Time. If this just isn't going to work for you, you used your Calendar button here to check it out, you can propose a new time, and this will show you what is currently booked by the participants in that time period. So here's that day, and here is the free and busy information for the various participants in the meeting. Now currently, you can see that I already have something booked between 12:30 and 2:00 o'clock. And here's where the new proposed meeting is set up. Now, if everyone is using Microsoft Outlook, or calendar information has been attached, then you may be able see the free/ busy information for everyone during that day.
In this case, I could propose a new time but this one already works for me, so I'm going to Cancel. At this point, I think I'll simply Accept this meeting. However I do want to edit the response before sending. And I might want say something like "Please bring your research data." Of course, I could insert some of mine if I'd like as well if I wanted to attach a file with some of that data or some other information. But I just want to communicate something else back to the person who invited me to the meeting.
I'm going to send that. So I've now accepted that meeting, sent the response back to the person who invited me. If we go take a look at my Calendar, and we take a look at that day, here's the new meeting that we just accepted.

Suspected mosque bomb plotter could be released in VermontMay 14,2013
The Associated Press
BURLINGTON — A 65-year-old man with a long history of threatening public officials and plotting to blow up the nation's largest mosque in Dearborn, Mich., could soon be living in a community facility in Vermont for people with serious mental illnesses.
A federal judge ruled Monday that Roger Stockham could be released safely into the community as long as he took his daily medications.
U.S. District Court Judge William Sessions III told Stockham that if he failed to take his medications he would be back in court immediately.
Stockham was arrested Jan. 24, 2011, outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn. Police found fireworks in his vehicle.
Stockham was on probation for a Vermont case when he was arrested in Michigan.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Goalie Emily Bashara stopped 44 shots but the Green Knights still had a field day...

A game created for the 2012 Global Game Jam based on the ouroboros (a symbol representing the cycle of life, death and rebirth). Search for your soul mate, breed with them, create a child, then find your child's soul mate. There are two play modes: reality and denial. In reality, you have a biological clock that is ticking. So you only have a limited amount of time to find your soul mate. In denial, you have all the time in the world: the cycle never finishes and the game ends when you choose to end it.
Created by Team Mate: Pouya Aflatoun (art and design), Clinton Shepherd (code and design), Michael Theiler (audio and design) and myself (design and production).

Skip to comments.Dad returns from Afghanistan to learn his kid is Duke porn star
Posted on 03/11/2014 2:38:44 AM PDT by SMGFan
A US Army physician came home from a tour in Afghanistan to find that his little princess had turned into a porn star. Devout Catholic Dr. Kevin Weeks was stunned by the news, but told relatives he and his wife are still supportive of Miriam, a Duke University freshman who has been having sex on camera to pay for her huge tuition bill.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
More evidence of the wickedness of the educational-undustrial complex.
$60K/year for tuition? Better to choose a more reasonable school than sell one's soul to get an over-priced BA in psychology (I have no idea what she's studying but I'm betting it's psych or sociology.)
Duke students are now Blew Devils...?
Internet search reveals her major is womyn's studies & sociology.
Sad, prayers for the family.
"$60K/year for tuition? Better to choose a more reasonable school than sell ones soul to get an over-priced BA in psychology (I have no idea what shes studying but Im betting its psych or sociology.)"
Well, to make it big she will need a nose job. Can't see her feet but may need to have her toes straightened. Will have to join a gym so to stay trim and toned. Also, will need regular spray tans. So, lots of maintainence associated with the profession :)
some nice film to show at family type reunions?
Is it just a supplement or is she paying the full freight for her tuition? Maybe she isn't making her parents pay the bill like so many kids today who think they are entitled to a college diploma(for whatever reason)at a huge price. I'm thinkin' Duke ain't cheap. Maybe it's just for beer money.
Apparently this young woman was "outed" by a male student who recognized her as a classmate while he was watching porn. Gotta love it. Now he's as infamous for watching it as she is for appearing in it....
Sorry, but I think they have a responsibility to say something about this. Saying they "support" her is ridiculous and doesn't help her at all.
Of course, she's a "women's studies" major, so she may be too ideological to listen. Porn and prostitution, along with abortion, are sacred to people in "women's studies". But I think they do have the responsibility to say something to correct her.
Safety school grad?
Porn star?
Those looks?
Women's Studies major?
I'd hire her!
Maybe to clean my driveway!
"...How DEMEANING!"
She's 18 and paying her own tuition. If these are the kinds of choices she's making it's way too late for her parents to try to correct her....
Dad's a doctor but she has to 'work' her way thru college?
Military doctors may not be in on the federal gravy train.
Military doctors may not be in on the federal gravy train.
Sounds like he might be our next Surgeon General...
A military doctor can make in the low six figures based on rank, bonuses, specialty, etc. A nice living, considering they don't have to pay for malpractice insurance or continuing education. But not enough to pay out of pocket for private college tuition.
Internet search reveals her major is womyns studies & sociology.
Well, at least she has a vocation to fall back on; not much of a future with either one of those degrees.
If you are going to pay $60,000 a year get a degree that makes you employable at a salary great than 1/2 of your yearly tuition.
Not sure about the family's financial situation. But I have two in college, and they don't even let you stand foot on campus until financial obligations are met. Parents have to sign off on payment plans, loans etc. So I doubt she needed porn to pay for tuition. More of a sensationalized excuse.
Fwiw,she continues to enjoy her work as a porn star. And wants to make it a career. How nice.
Maybe his research was part of a class. Come to think of it maybe
her research started out as part of a class, as well. Some of the
crap that passes for units anymore.....you never know ; -)
I'll throw her some spare change. :)
Of course! With those majors she has a bright future in the porn industry.
Sixty-K a year.... Majoring in sociology-women's studies how is she ever going to repay one-quarter million dollars?????
It was an interesting story, to be sure, but one statement stood out to me: "Tuition at Duke is about $60,000 a year."
I graduated from a small but prestigious college in my state, where almost all courses were taught by PhDs and there were no graduate assistants teaching, that was not allowed. The tuition, room and board then (1962-66) was $1,300 a year. Here, at an admittedly nationally-known school, it's many times higher, and adjusting for inflation that $1,300 in 1966 was $9,500 today. Note that the above does not appear to include room and board. I submit that there is no way that this young lady is getting a much, much better education than I did. Maybe somewhat but not to that monetary tune.
Yep, the Griggs-Duke Power Supreme Court decision paid off great for colleges. Their professors' Full Employment Act of 1971.
You left out the most obvious surgical investment needed.
Military doctors get a lot of extras.
Now hes as infamous for watching it as she is for appearing in it....
Yes, this young woman made a very bad decision. But she has a lot of company. A lot of young women seem to have no trouble doing porn, including sex webcams. It's kind of sad and pathetic, especially when you hear it is how they are "working" their way through school. At least if you're a traditional prostitute, it's easier to keep the activity quiet. Some of these women may actually imagine they're actresses. To me, they are just prostitutes who get paid to have sex on camera. What man in their right mind will want to hire or marry these women?
Theres no infamy associated with watching porn. Its very common among the younger generations.
Duke University has a $6.0 billion endowment as of 2013, subsidized by the US taxpayer through favorable tax treatment.
She needs to stop screwing aroun............. Oh, she already is. Maybe she needs to pick up the pace. In either case, for me, the parents need to (if they're picking up any of the tab) tell her she can either stop or they'll stop. Is she under 26? I guess they can't cut her off until then since that apparently is the new end age for childhood.
We lecture our kids not to do drugs, but who imagines that they have to tell their children NOT to be act in porn movies? It's a brave, new, crappy cesspool of a world.
Just a thought....
If she where suing for abortion rights, how many people would be there screaming about, 'her body, her choice, her right...blah, blah blah.
Yet using her body, her choice, her right, to make money is 'heartbreaking.'
To me that's always been one of the worst aspects of abortion. It somebody argues that there is an absolute right to destroy life, how can anything less than that ever be called bad? Once you've allowed abortion, nudity, sex for hire, etc, etc, are really just parking tickets.
When she gets a little more meat on her bones she will earn big bucks as a porn star. She will then write a graduate thesis on the economics of being a $5,000/night incall companion.
At some point one of her clients, rich clients, will insist that she get out of the business and become his alone. At that point he will give her a condo that includes in addition to a budoir, a complete up to date office with research facilities from which she will write award winning blog pieces. The blog will become well received and she will receive speaking engagements at $50,000 per crack.
Somebody's about to become a Democrat candidate for congress...
With those majors, I'm sure a good state college or community college could have sufficed for much cheaper.
OTOH, we have the NJ girl..the same age, who's suing her parents for tuition and support..interesting dichotomy, eh?
Good point..Kudos!!.and it hasn't been addressed enough. "hooking up" is now the prevalent cultural norm on most campuses..casual sex...no emotional attachment...have an itch..scratch it...all she's doing "differently" is getting paid for it..
They haven't perfected brain transplants yet.
If I were Dad, I'd be more worried about what people are thinking I was up to with my daughter that turned her into a porn start. The pathway to porn is pretty well established, and a warm fuzzy childhood isn't part of the recipe.
Even if I was a billionaire, I wouldn't pay for my daughter to get a degree in Womyn's Studies or Sociology, at any university.
That would be the other one.
She didn't want to get away with it...when a reporter from the Duke student newspaper heard the rumors and confronted her, she never tried to deny it. In fact, she was interviewed on several occasions, knowing full well that a story was forthcoming.
This is a carefully calculated stunt to put her on top in the porn world (pun intended). Looking at the photo, I'm guessing there are far more attractive women in the "industry," and her so-called career wouldn't last more than a couple of years. But with this flood of publicity, she is now the best-known porn actress in America, a dubious distinction at best.
This is reminiscent of Michael Sam's recent coming out, which was aimed at moving him up in the NFL draft and getting him on a roster.
I feel sorry for the young woman's family. Absolutely no sympathy for her.
Well, I think college student have always had casual sex with each other. That's certainly the way it was in my day (last 70s, early 80s). But back then no girls I knew would have dreamed of having sex on camera, to be posted where anyone could see it. Even naked photos were taboo back then.
parents and everyone still have the right to condemn sin.
Jesus told the woman "go,and sin no more".
Really supportive means wanting the person to live right.
..."per crack."
No, but she's got lots more Associate and Assistant Deans and Associate and Assistant Provosts and Vice Presidents (or Vice Chancellors), with much larger office staffs, to look out for her while she's getting her education than you did when you were getting your education.

I have been teaching Jobs for Life in Women Residential Alcohol & Drug Programs, Jail & Prison Ministry,Community Corrections and with a Youth Summer Program. It is an incredible program combining business skills/training and using a faith-based approach through Biblical principles. We have graduated almost 300 men and women in one year. It is so exciting to see so many of them succeeding in their jobs and realtionships; seeing the transformation in their lives. I even hired one of my graduates as my assistant in the non-profit ministry that I am Co-Director of. Awesome Awesome Program

I am director of CWJC and CMJC with Prison Ministry in Rankin County, MS. I use the Jobs for Life Curriculum in all my Job Readiness classes which includes Prison Classes. It is easy to follow and the JFL staff is always helpful with advice. Here is what a student says: JFL has helped me to relate to everyday life to the stories in the Bible. It has helped me to practice doing the right think and having integrity in all my dealings with others and in the workplace. Also, how to dress while going on interviews and the best way to present my resume and myself. I highly recommend Jobs for Life!

Forecasting the 2016 legislative agenda requires the use of something like a political Rorschach Test.
Introduction, Or Why I'm Mad
When I write about Indian issues for a non-Indian audience, the effort always requires a history lesson. When I'm writing for a mixed audience, the challenge is to bring non-Indians along without boring Indians steeped in their own history. Federal Indian Law presents a similar challenge and it's contained in the shorthand "Indian Law 101" and the question of how much of it must be served up before you talk about the real subject at hand.
The U.S. is a young country compared to the home countries of the colonists and also compared to the histories of peoples Canadians know by the splendid descriptor we do not have south of that border, First Nations.
The colonists, too, have historical pathways to get where they are today. Unlike Indians, they take pride in being ahistorical and always seem to think they've just invented some wheel that, to a historian, shows a lot of wear and tear. The Tea Party, for example, got its seed money from the same folks who seeded the John Birch Society, and so it's no great surprise that the politics of the two organizations are similar.
As I write, an armed mob of "patriots" has occupied a bird sanctuary that occupies Northern Paiute land in Oregon. The Paiutes have no objection to a bird sanctuary, but the occupiers do.
If you asked the "patriots" to identify their historical forebears, they offer the Boston Tea Party, vandalism in faux Indian costumes engineered by the Sons of Liberty as they agitated their way toward the American Revolution. That's not exactly so.
For one thing, the Sons of Liberty started out with an idea of "liberty" that came from the rights of Englishmen. They understood themselves to be Englishmen until George III trampled enough of their rights to make it clear that colonists would never have full citizenship rights.
For another, the Sons of Liberty did not start out threatening violence to fellow colonists or even to the redcoats. Even when revolution was in the air, it's hard to picture the Sons of Liberty occupying a bird sanctuary with an implicit threat to shoot park rangers if the park rangers interfered.
No, the "patriots" have a different historical lineage in the opposition to Theodore Roosevelt's plan to create a national park system. Indian history is joined at the hip with the national park system, since the first laws to set aside land for public use were enacted to protect the pre-history of the Americas from destruction by pothunters and grave robbers.
The Antiquities Act of 1906 was aimed squarely at the looting of American Indian archeological sites for profit by people who valued money above science. They also valued money far above the sensibilities of the people watching their ancestral homes ripped apart for souvenirs of extinct (but noble) savages.
U.S. Presidents acquired the authority to protect Indian sites from pothunters by declaring national monuments. The very first was Bear Lodge, a mountain in Wyoming known to the colonists as Devils Tower. Most of the early national monuments were chock full of Indian petroglyphs, sacred sites, and burials.
Federal protection of the cultural heritage of North America was not without controversy, and the controversy remained when the object of protection was natural heritage. When Theodore Roosevelt established the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, the primary problem being addressed was the impending extinction of bird species dying because the fashion in women's hats required their feathers, principally the roseate spoonbill and the snowy egret.
Farmers objected, and in a referendum framed as a competition between the interests of humans and the interests of birds, the humans won. The federal government sued to quiet title to the land it had stolen fair and square from the Northern Paiutes after the Bannock War.
The SCOTUS settled the ownership of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in United States v. Oregon (1935). The "patriots" currently occupying that land keep waving copies of the U.S. Constitution. Apparently their copies are missing Article III, which vests "the judicial Power of the United States" in the SCOTUS.
Malheur was not the only conservation attempt that was controversial. Historian H. Duane Hampton published an article pointing out that at the time (1981) two thirds of national parks had faced significant political opposition. Hampton categorized the disputes as follows:
1. The economic argument that the market will always reveal the highest and best use of land. Park nerds complain that the golden arches of a well-known hamburger joint have moved too close to the Grand Canyon. Those persuaded by the economic argument claim that the burgers are too far away and imagine what it would be like to have a bottled water concession halfway down the Bright Angel Trail.
2. The elitist argument that says nobody uses parks except the wealthy while working people pay for the upkeep and the lost economic opportunities. I visit the parks every chance I get and my mileage differs, but even if the elitist argument were correct it would seem prudent to save something for all of our grandchildren.

In the last few years it has been shown that Beetroot juice effects blood pressure & stamina.
In 1998 Two Swedish scientists (Weitzberg and Lundberg) found that natural nitrates (NO3) in the diet (such as those found in beetroot, spinach and lettuce) are broken down during digestion to produce nitric oxide in the blood stream.
Nitric Oxide is important because it:
- regulates blood pressure;
- controls blood flow to certain organs;
- enhances stamina by improving oxygen use;
- fights infection;
- is a signal molecule in the nervous system.
Beetroot juice is particularly high in natural dietary nitrates
Professor Amrita Ahluwalia of the William Harvey Research Institute, published a paper in March 2008 in the American Heart Association's journal showing that oral nitrate (taken through drinking beetroot juice) reduces high blood pressure.
Professor Andrew Jones, of Exeter University, published a paper in August 2009 explaining that dietary nitrate supplementation reduces the O2 cost of low intensity exercise and enhances tolerance to high intensity exercise in humans (Journal of Applied Physiology).
Dietary nitrate has such a beneficiary impact on sporting stamina that Beet It are supplying beetroot juice for trials with UK Athletics, swimming, rowing, cycling teams and even the entire England rugby union team.

I'm Ryan, I love photography, family and football. You're looking at this site because you are looking for someone to photograph your wedding. So let me tell you about me and the way I work.
Like weddings, wedding photography has moved a long way from the tired and traditional. A good wedding photographer will shoot your wedding in a photo journalistic documentary style. Telling the story of your day through beautiful timeless pictures. Your wedding day shouldn't be directed by your photographer. In fact for the most part your photographer should go unnoticed as they document your day in the most unobtrusive way possible. Capturing all the amazing moments as you experience them, and some of the quirkier ones you might miss. No contrived shots and absolutely no requests to say 'cheese'. I have shot over 500 weddings and I can tell you that no two weddings are the same as no two stories are the same. So you can't go into shooting a wedding with a set routine, a copycat approach! My approach is to just shoot the day as it unfolds with images that tell that story of your day. Images that will have the power to emotionally transport you back to a specific moment on your wedding day. Yes there may be group shots that you want and that's fine. They can be taken quickly, naturally and without fuss, creating interesting group pictures that you will want to look at again and again. As a good photographer will ensure that in each and every shot you and your guests look fabulous!
I worked for many years as a professional photographer for the FA, covering international fixtures all over the world, and when I'm not working now I can be found on the touchlines shooting for the national press. Experience in sports photography has been invaluable to me when shooting weddings. I know that there is only one fleeting chance to get that shot, and at a wedding that might be a split second glance between a bride and her father, a joke shared between the groom and his best man, a child's delight at receiving a gift. Tiny details that help to tell the story of your day.
Your wedding day starts as soon as you wake up, and goes on to well into the night and I will be there for as much of that day as you want. In the evening of my weddings, I like to get creative with the lighting and take some high impact images. These are what I call the 'wow' shots, allowing me to offer my clients something unique. You will see examples of these images over these pages.
Though based in Yorkshire, I shoot weddings all over the UK and destination weddings further afield. Often my clients have moved away from Yorkshire and are returning home to get married. In many cases it is the start of a working relationship that sees me photographing all the significant moments of their family lives.
But that's enough chat from me, please browse the site. Hopefully, my images will speak for themselves.

This review is from: Cooler Master HAF 922 - High Air Flow Mid Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior
Pros: I am building my first computer EVER, and thought I go big or go home. I researched for about 2 weeks and thought this seemed like a very high end tower for air flow and temp control in the system. I just got the case so far as my budget is a "One step at a time" but as I go forth I will edit this to state my review more efficient. For now how ever the case was bigger then I expected, the case looks BEAUTIFUL, and the three fans built in it made my day. I will be using a GA-Z87X-UD4H MOBO, I5 4670K CPU, 850 watt PSU, 1TB storage unit and GeForce 770 GPU. All reviews say it will fit but I will write later to confirm.
Cons: To this point I got to say my CON is only that the instructions were not as user friendly as I hoped on how to remove storage and disc drives. Then after about 30 mins of my full over look I noticed that for the person who has done a gaming PC build before I must have seemed like a lab monkey inspecting a backpack for the first time. I guess it was so SELF explanatory that Cooler Master didnt think they needed to explain how easy it is to push a button.
Other Thoughts: I think it is a great look and design. Very slick and spacious for every one and has a great set up with its three fans. being that the Disc Drives come out so easily and same with the storage slots I recommend this tower to any oneREAD FULL REVIEW

How Canada pioneered the GIF event, bringing net art away from the desktop and into a show
If there was one digital medium that caught the attention of the online public in the past five years or so, it is obviously the Graphical Interchange Format, commonly referred to as the GIF. Initially employed as a file format for simple animations, over time it became the medium of choice for many artists and creatives to present their work thanks to improved bandwidths and easier storage on social media platforms.
Over the past year or so we have seen GIF art implemented in mainstream gallery spaces such as The Museum of Moving Image or Tate Britain's 1840s GIF Party, or by way of Augmented Reality, presenting works at physical spaces through a smartphone device via barcodes, such as Rua Red's Glitch Festival or GIF Art blog 15 Folds exhibition at the Lyst Gallery.
Back in 2012 the Photographers Gallery, London, was smart enough put together a major show about the format 'Born In 1987', but before this all became fashionable in the art world, an organizer and artist from Toronto saw the potential of integrating this format into real-world events and collaborated with another artist whose medium of choice is the GIF itself, curating a collection of works created on a computer by artists from around the world, and projected on walls to accompany the surroundings.
The show was called 'Sheroes', a monthly event started in 2011 to 2012 that each month focused on female pop-icons ranging from Nina Simone, Erykah Badu, Yoko Ono, Madonna, Dusty Springfield or Dolly Parton, a range of artists whose distinct talents enriched pop culture, a "League of Legendary Ladies". Here I will talk to Rea McNamara and Lorna Mills about the origins of this emerging scene and how it all started.

Reviews for Endangered Species International
48 people found this review helpful
Endangered Species International is an amazing group that really gets things done out in the field. I applaud their effort and hard work to save endangered animals and their home! Most fund is spent on the field for direct impacts..no wasting resources!
I have been active in nature advocacy for twenty years. In my opinion ESI is one of the best wildlife and nature conservation charity, because they seem to be the most effective at getting true protection in the field. I have been proudly a volunteer for ESI and loved working with them.
Unfortunately, 85% of the world's oceanic fisheries are fully exploited, over-exploited, or depleted and most coral reefs are in grave danger of vanishing. I really support Endangered Species International program to restore and protect coral reefs and ocean. i was a volunteer to help corals for ESI and I must say they are doing a great and effective work in the field.

One of the best group I ever known, Very efficient and resources are well used for endangered species. I was a volunteer and now a donor! ESI compassion toward all creatures and their concern for the habitat of all living things is genuine and tireless and their projects around the world fantastic.

I am Elizabeth Pomaa Nti and currently a first year student of the University of Ghana, pursuing Nursing. In expressing my sincere appreciation to the Educational Pathways International (EPI ), I hereby write this review to commend them for their help and making my dream come true.
Through EPI scholarship fund, I have been able to solve the problem of inadequacy of my learning materials. In respect of the financial assistance, I have been able to acquire most of my learning materials which is pre-requisite to success in my education at the University level. Moreover, I use this fund to cater for my welfare and economic well being in school. This has greatly uttered my standard of living in school to be a good one as compared to my previous life. EPI also caters for my school fees and accommodation in school.
In addition to that, the cumbersome burden on my parents has been extremely relieved financially. Due to the inadequate resources from my parents, I used to find it difficult coping with life on campus. "In fact my life on campus was nothing to write home about". God being so good and wonderful, my life has been transformed with the existence of the EPI scholarship.
Furthermore, EPI has formerly educated me. This has made me gain much access to information, irrespective of the nature of information being it social, religious, moral and academic. For example, they have helped me know much about CV writing and presentation of work through the organization of workshop and seminars. Also, they have helped us to develop in-built skills for interviews, time management, goal setting etc. Through this, my core values as a student has been immensely enhanced and improved.
In conclusion, I gratefully thank EPI for changing me as an individual irrespective of my status quo. As being one of the best scholarship fund worldwide, I vehemently recommend and request this scholarship to anyone whose educational aspirations is been shuttered as a result of financial constraints and other limited resources which can help him or her to succeed in life.

Any wins in the fight for wildlife illegal trade which Endangered Species International makes is a another victory for animals.. I fully support their "Jungle Brigades" with elements from the police forces to stop illegal killing and capture of wildlife..

My number one charity! Independent group (not under big corporation ties), not run like a corporation like WWF, working directly in the field to save endangered species, fighting hard against animal suffering and trade, and protecting wilderness. Thumbs up!
Of all the many NGOs I have been involved with over the past 15 years, ESI is the best. They have excellent people and unlike many groups they are not afraid to the hard work anywhere it is needed to save endangered wildlife and vital habitats!
Really great group working on the ground to protect endangered species in many urgent and emote places on our planet. Their work is efficient, based on science and it supports tribal groups. One of the most efficient NGO I know in term of finance and spending their resources in the field. Quite impressive and remarkable.
I love ESI for its hard work in remote places to save animals and nature. I was a volunteer for one month and I can only attest their good work, love for nature, and passion to succeed with locals..

Nice. They're getting off the plane directly into cars.
I was wrong, they had to walk to the main terminal and go through passport control.
And here are their drivers who kindle posed for a photo. The film crew came out a few minutes later.
I upgraded Linux on this server a while back and in the course of that upgrade PHP was upgraded too, to version 5.5.9.
Since I had a modified php.ini it asked me to check over any new options. There were a few but I fixed anything that looked like it might break things. I saved the php.ini and let the upgrade go on.
Some time later I saw odd notices in the PHP error log. Usually it referred to wp-comments-post.php but files outside of WordPress raised the warning too:
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: _SERVER in ..
It turns out the fix is rather easy. Jacques Marneweck on his blog posted a solution. Simply switch off "auto_globals_jit" in your php.ini and restart Apache (if required).
From the PHP manual entry for auto_globals_jit:
When enabled, the SERVER and ENV variables are created when they're first used (Just In Time) instead of when the script starts. If these variables are not used within a script, having this directive on will result in a performance gain.
The PHP directives register_globals, register_long_arrays, and register_argc_argv must be disabled for this directive to have any affect. Since PHP 5.1.3 it is not necessary to have register_argc_argv disabled.
It looks like the bug is ancient although I'm not using APC, and the JIT compiler can be fooled if you access the super globals like _SERVER through variable variables. Sneaky!
The default for auto_globals_jit is "On" so next time you upgrade PHP keep an eye on the error log.
Anthony Morganti uses an interesting technique to create photos with a black and white HDR look in Lightroom. It can transform a photo so it looks something like this. (I added a vignette as well.)
It doesn't suit all photos of course, it's also only a starting point as you should develop your photos in whatever way you desire. To avoid repeating all those steps every time I created a Lightroom preset.
Grab that file and install it in the same way you'd install any Lightroom preset. What d'you think?
Remember DVDs? Last night while looking for the original photo of this dancing in the street photo I was horrified to find an empty directory!
I had no idea when they were deleted. I searched my backups but of course the directories had been synced a long time ago and they were gone. I checked Backblaze and there was no sign of them. I even checked Google Plus for their backups but still no sign of them. I must have deleted them more than two years ago.
I hate that. I have multiple copies of every photo just because this might happen and yet it wasn't enough! My backups sync every night so any deletes were synced within twenty four hours.
Almost. Later, I remembered that I had backed up photos to DVDs before I started using multiple drives and Backblaze. They were up in the attic!
It didn't take long to get them, the first DVD worked and my photos from The St. Patrick's Festival in 2006 were restored, but the photos from April 20th were on the second DVD. The second DVD didn't work. Nooooo!
The rest of the photos did survive their stay in my cold, damp attic and were restored. I'm thinking now about monthly offline backups to a drive I'll plug in occasionally.
Do I have any photos from April 20th, 2006? I remember the day well because I was in St. Finbarr's Hospital with my wife helping a family member. While the others waited I went outside to take photos of a derelict building at the back of the hospital grounds. People passed me going to work while I was take pictures of the daisies, flowers and old architecture. Soon enough a security guard showed up but he just asked me to stop taking photos. I do have a few photos. We called to a friend later in the day and I got some shots of her cat so that's here too. 🙂
What's the take home message from all this?
I'm sad that those files are gone, but glad I have a few reminders of an eventful day.
We had dinner in the Sultan restaurant this evening and it was delicious. This is Meshawi Mix, a mixture of marinated lamb and chicken, Lebanese bread and more. Check out their menu.

Best Miami Heat Player
Eddie Jones may have averaged close to 19 points, but he's still just the Best of the Rest. Pat Riley built this thirtysomething team around his center (focal glomerulosclerosis be damned), and the coach has clung tenaciously to an offensive and defensive style that plays to Mourning's strengths. In December, that strategy made Riley look stubborn, inflexible, and not very smart. By March, Riley had turned a collection of has-beens, almost-kinda-weres, and flat-out bums into an actual team with a chance to make the playoffs and had silenced those who were calling for the coach to retire. While the playoff push eventually petered out, the Heat wouldn't even have come close unless the complementary players had finally meshed around their superstar. Zo, in turn, battled through illness (to which his immunosuppressant drugs make him more susceptible), pain (for which he can take no anti-inflammatories, thanks, again, to his kidney medicines), fatigue, and a near-total turnover of his teammates to finally reach a Winter Groove.

Acting and the NFL go hand in hand. In the end, the NFL is just one big reality T.V. show, complete with trash talking, elimination challenges and last minute drama.
Some of the league's best actors are on the field every play. They sell a play action pass or cry to the referees for a flag. It's all pretty typical stuff. There's some that have a special flair for it though, and we will see more of them in theaters and on television someday.

The St. Louis Blues ended their 2010-2011 season with the same disappointment as last season. After making the playoffs in 2008, the Blues came up short for the second year in a row.
Even though the Blues are not playing in the postseason, there were still many things that happened this past season that Blues fans should be happy about.
This season's injury-plagued Blues finished in 11th place in the very tough Western Conference. A record of 38-33-11 and 87 points were not enough to make the post season, missing the playoffs by 10 points.
Let us now view the report card for the St. Louis Blues' 2010-2011 campaign.

If you want to add a bit more pizzazz to every email you send, you can create Personal Stationery. To set up Personal Stationery, start off by going into New Email and creating a blank email and getting it all set up the way you wanted. I'm going to change the background and add my company logo. So to change the background, I'm going to go into OPTIONS, Page Color, and set the color to an ice green. Now I'm going to go in to INSERT, Choose pictures, and browse on my computer and find my company logo. I can click Insert when I find it and it puts it in.
It's got a white background here and it would be a lot nicer if it was transparent. Outlook actually comes with something called the Background Eraser tool. It's in the FORMAT tab, which appears when you insert a picture. So I'm going to click on Remove Background, Outlook guesses what it thinks I want to keep in the picture. I can click and drag to expand all the areas of the picture that I want to keep. We'll see what happens. In this case, it swapped what I wanted to keep, but that's OK.
What we can do here is manually mark the areas to keep, by clicking this button here, and selecting and drawing a line on my picture where I want to keep. In this case the arrows. Outlook is smart enough to recognize that everything that's the same color next to it should be kept also. If I click away, I've now got my nice transparent logo. I'm going to take out my signature file, by clicking and dragging and deleting. And now, I'm ready to save my stationery. So I'm going to go to FILE, Save as, and then in the Save As dialog I need to save it to a very specific place.
I need to type in %appdata%\Microsoft\stationery, hit Enter and it's going to take you to that directory. Now I can give it a file name, and then in Save as type, I need to pick HTML, click Save and our Personal Stationery is saved. Now all that's left to do is tell Outlook that that's what we want to use. I'm going to close out of this email because I don't need it anymore, I don't even have to save my changes.
And now, I'm going to go into FILE, Options, go to the Mail tab and choose Stationery and Fonts. Here's where we are going to change the theme that we want for our Personal Stationery. This is where the stationery that we saved is going to show up because we saved it to that stationery directory. So I'm going to scroll down and find my stationery, select it and here it is, and if I'm happy with it, I'm going to click OK. Click OK a few more times to get out all these dialog boxes and now when I click New Email, I'm going to get my custom stationery that I made.
If at anytime I decide I'm done with it, I can simply go back into OPTIONS by going to FILE, Options, going back to that Mail tab and choosing Stationery and Fonts, clicking Theme and scrolling all the way up and selecting no theme. This is how we started. I can click OK to get out of all the dialog boxes again and now my email is back to the way it was. However, we didn't delete that stationery, we just told it not to use it every time, it's still there.
If we still want to use it for those special occasions, instead of clicking New Email, I can go to New Items, choose E-mail Message Using and then I can click More Stationery, and I've got the Theme dialog box. So now I can scroll down and choose that stationery that I created. Click OK and now I've created a one off email that contains that stationery. So that's how you use Personal Stationery in Microsoft Outlook.

Australia's electricity generation sector accounts for one third of the nation's carbon emissions. The deployment of battery and smart metering systems with renewable energy technologies is going to change electricity supply in the same way internet and mobile technology have disrupted telecommunication systems and transformed our consumption of information. Complementary policies that account for the cost of carbon emissions and enable early adaptation to these disruptive changes protect the electricity system from becoming dysfunctional.
Implemented through large-scale and small-scale schemes, Australian renewable energy policy is designed to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the electricity generation sector and encourage the generation of electricity from sustainable and renewable sources. What can Australia's large-scale renewable energy target achieve by 2020?
The renewable energy target of 33,000 GWh by 2020 requires a near doubling of Australia's large-scale renewable energy capacity in the next five years.
Infigen has 1,200 MW or 20% of Australia's approximately 6,000 MW of publicly proposed wind and solar PV projects, with development approvals in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. Infigen remains the largest owner of wind energy capacity in Australia.
The legislated demand creates an incentive for additional generation from renewable energy sources. The scheme operates through tradable certificates known as Large-scale Generation Certificates. Creation of certificates is managed by the Clean Energy Regulator.
Eligible large-scale renewable power stations produce certificates for every megawatt hour of power they generate, creating the supply side of the certificate market. Large end users or retailers of electricity buy these certificates to meet their renewable energy obligations, forming the demand side of the certificate market.
Large end users or retailers of electricity then surrender these certificates to the regulator to meet the renewable percentage target set by the Clean Energy Regulator each year. Certificates are traded at a rate determined by supply and demand of the market, and certificate revenues contribute to the commercial viability of renewable generation.
In addition to the large-scale target, Australians can buy GreenPower certificates for their homes and businesses. By purchasing GreenPower, the equivalent amount of new renewable energy is added to the electricity grid. As a joint initiative of the ACT, NSW, SA, VIC and TAS governments, GreenPower is the only voluntary government accredited program in Australia that enables electricity providers to purchase renewable energy on behalf of households and businesses.
