Scary surrogacy stuff ... Cambodia .. it's nothing like the good old days in India before everything went pear shaped.
A new danger is born as surrogacy moves to Cambodia Forced from Thailand amid scandal, agencies setting up in Phnom Penh appear to have learned few lessons.
When Cambodia's first fertility clinic opened its doors late last year, it was heralded as a medical milestone for a country where even the most basic health services are limited.
"The miracle of IVF in Cambodia [is starting]," managing director Samnang Hor told local media as the first couples began enrolling for treatment at the Fertility Clinic of Cambodia (FCC).
About a month earlier, fertility treatments were making news in Thailand for entirely different reasons: the baby Gammy scandal had just been exposed, marking the beginning of the end for the thriving commercial surrogacy operations that were based here.
The timing was unconnected but proved opportune; Bangkok-based agencies were quick to seize on the chance. And so instead of halting the march of the lucrative industry in Southeast Asia, the crackdown by Thai authorities, which saw the prohibition of all commercial surrogacy, served only to delay it momentarily.
In March this year, the first surrogacy programmes started in Phnom Penh, carried out by FCC on behalf of surrogacy agencies which had shifted their operations across the border.
"The Thai government banned it, so what's happened is the Thai operators have jumped the border and set up in Cambodia where there are no surrogacy laws," an international surrogacy expert with close ties to the industry told Spectrum on condition of anonymity.

Colourful houses in Notting Hill
Some more colour
Just some street art
I have come to the realisation this week that my time here is going so quickly. I feel like at times, especially these last couple weeks, I have taken for granted my opportunity here. I have so many things I still want to do and see. I am truly grateful for being here, this experience has already shown me that there is so much more to life than what I thought and that taking chances are a good thing. This has been one of the biggest choices I have made and would not trade it for anything. The people I have met and the memories I have made will be with me through the rest of my life. Sarah this last week kept telling me that "I'm here for a good time not a long time," and she was so right. I shared this with some of the other girls and we have decided this is a pretty good motto to live by for the next two weeks.

California regulators approved a...
Action requests the court void the environmental and project approval for the tank project
Attorney John Tamborelli filed an action against the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District (LVMWD) and its tank project contractors, Pacific Hydrotech and AECOM, on behalf of Petitioner Frank Bonvino. The suit has been filed for the benefit of the plaintiff; the local residents of Three Springs, Westlake Village; and the customers of Las Virgenes Municipal Water District. Included in the comprehensive filing, the action requests that the court void the environmental and project approval for the tank project under the California Environmental Quality Act. The district is attempting to build a 5 million gal storage tank within feet of a 3 billion gal reservoir. Given the project is commencing, the petitioner is asking for a temporary restraining order, and subsequent hearing for injunction, according to court documents.
The court documents filed against the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District allege that the water district's actions represent a "colossal failure to comply with California's public notice, and public participation statutes, very possibly intentionally," an invalid filing of the Notice of Determination, the need for a supplemental Environmental Impact Report and more.
According to court documents filed, Director Barry Steinhardt's declaration stated he has made a "complaint [to] the Los Angeles District Attorney on February 24th, 2014. Currently, the Public Integrity division is in investigation of the complaint." Steinhardt stated his complaint against LVMWD addressed violations of process, the Brown Act, and other public rights.
"From the beginning, the water district has shown no regard for public process," said Neil Ticktin, resident and community leader. Ticktin is a named declarant in the case filed. "We have tried to work with the water district, but they won't listen," Ticktin continued. "They've given us no choice but to file suit to stop this project," said Frank Bonvino, plaintiff for the case, as indicated within court documents.
The action addresses increased risk of Valley Fever, dangers of blasting very close to a dam, the lack of an emergency plan for the neighborhood involved with only one way in/out, inadequate safety measures, among other concerns. The filing includes nearly 80 declarations from local residents, two of five LVMWD elected board members, and experts in medical and local area issues, according to court documents.
Case Number: BC543637 has currently been assigned to Judge Yvette Palazuelos of Los Angeles County Superior Court at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse. Hearing date has not yet been set.

April 13th, 2007
The Family "Research" Council continues to sound the drumbeat of "Thought Crimes" in their latest e-mail action alerts, and the "Thought Crime" meme is spreading among anti-gay lobbyists and activists around the country. Focus on the Family is also spreading the word:
"It's fair to call it a Thought Crimes law," said Caleb H. Price, social-research analyst for Focus on the Family. "Ultimately, it punishes those who hold politically incorrect thoughts and beliefs about homosexuality."
This is a shockingly shameless distortion of what the proposed hate crimes legislation actually says. It's a distortion so twisted, it's fair to call it a bold-faced lie — an expression I virtually never use. It's not about "thoughts" or speech; it's about violence. Are any of these "thought crimes"?
The proposed legislation will not set up "special rights" for a select few. It will protect everyone, including Feudale and Felicano. When it says regardless of sexual orientation, it really means regardless of sexual orientation. What part of regardless do they not understand?

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for "cross-gender disturbance" in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people.

In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that "[Paul] Cameron's 'science' echoes Nazi Germany." What the SPLC didn"t know was Cameron doesn't just "echo" Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution's architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a "plausible idea" in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the "Dutch Study" to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins' Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family "Research" Council.
The FBI's annual Hate Crime Statistics aren't as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

PROVO — A 20-year-old woman sustained critical head injuries and died after she fell from Bridal Veil Falls on Wednesday.1 comment on this story
The woman, who was originally identified as a man, fell from the upper falls to the lower falls in Provo Canyon about 5:30 p.m., and emergency crews struggled to reach her, Utah County Sheriff's Lt. Yvette Rice said. A medical team capable of providing on-scene first aid got to the woman shortly after 6:45 p.m.
Meanwhile, another woman who was with the victim relayed information to officers, Rice said.
A medical helicopter responded to the scene, but rescuers were unable to safely hoist the woman from the canyon, Rice said.
They remained in the canyon as of press time.
Officials believe the woman was hiking, but they didn't know Wednesday night what caused her to fall. Her name was not immediately released.

- Natsuki -1, Nao – 0. I'd underestimated you, Natsuki…
That was one Aweasom Nao...now I got new images of her. Nao and Natsuki makes sweet rival. Natsuki and Shizuru are lovely. Wasn't Shizuru suppose to have a 'meeting' with Nao? *smirk*
Well, I'm looking forward for when that come in...
Nice update, even though, there was little shiznat, nat/nao little rival 'thing' make up the missing shizuru..
| Mz-Kitty-Kat chapter 4 . 10/9/2006
Lol, Nao as an enviromentalist,I have to admit I never pictured that one. Lol.
But please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't crushing styrofoam cups and balls useless and futile? Unless you actually burn them, then it goes up to the ozone layer and contributes to global warming, melting the polar ice caps thus killing us all.
or contributes to the major epidemic/pandemic growth of skin cancer, still killing thousands of people but only the majority who doesn't use sun blocks.
If Nao is concerned with CFC, Natsuki should threaten her with deodorant spray or anything that are ejected from a can that are aerosol. If I can remember my science teacher's words, most pressurised dispensers contain CFC. I thought that would be funny if you see Natsuki chasing Nao with a deodorant spray and people get the wrong impression. Lol.
And yes I do get the joke. Lol.
Please update. And as for plot bunnies, are they cute? May I adopt one?. lol.
Great work and I'm looking forward to your next update.

From stop. When I accelerate it takes a long time to get to drive. It feels like a lag time. What is wrong with my car? Thanks
Any one of about 100 things.
You need to say A LOT more about the car including its year & mileage. You need to tall people about its maintenance - not oil changes, but all that other stuff like spark plugs & wires & filters etc.
And you need to describe exactly what is happening when you try to get going. Walk people through it - sights, sounds, feels, smells?
What year,what mileage,what type of transmission?
"Car takes long time to get up to speed...from stop"
"When I accelerate it takes a long time to get to drive"
Depending on what you are trying to tell us, there is a difference between these two scenarios. Are you telling us that the car simply accelerates slowly, or are you telling us that the transmission does not engage right away when you attempt to accelerate? There is a significant difference between those two problems.
As a result, I am not sure about what you are trying to communicate to us.
Can you clarify the issue for us?Also, if--as I suspect--English is not your primary language, can you have a friend or relative post the information for you?

The Church put out an awesome new Duty to God program. I like it because it's basically a scripture study program that helps the young men become spiritually strong and helps them become like Jesus Christ. What's really great about the program, is that it entails the same steps that anybody (and everybody) needs to follow to become like Christ. The idea is to learn, then act on what you learn, and then share with others what you have learned and done.
The booklet for the program has the Deacon, Teacher and Priest sections all combined. The boys work on three relationships in each of their quorum sections. First they work on their relationship with God by developing Spiritual Strength through prayer and scripture study, living worthily, and understanding doctrine. Second they work on their relationship with all mankind by learning and practicing their Priesthood Duties by administering priesthood ordinances, serving others, and inviting all to come unto Christ. The third section is a bit different for each quorum. The deacons work on their relationship with themselves, with their bodies, by focusing on physical health. The teachers are similar in that they focus on education. The priests focus on their relationship with family and friends. The priests have an additional section where they prepare themselves to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood.
So, because this is such a great program for anybody to learn their duty to God, and because I need to be an example to the boys as the Young Men's President, I am doing this program as well. My study plan is to read and study every morning from 6:30 until 7:00. I've been doing pretty good at it for a few weeks too. At the end of the week, on Friday's, I'll write a blog post as a way for me to share my experiences.
I went over the section where we list some scriptures that are meaningful to us, and describe why they are meaningful. I came up with a few (Alma 7:11-13; 1 Samuel 15:22; D&C 58:26-27; Exodus 20:3-17; 3 Nephi 12; 3 Nephi 13:24; D&C 19:16-19). For Alma 7:11-13, I wrote:
I came to know this one on the mission. I really like how it explains the Atonement. It shows that Jesus suffered every negative thing possible. Coupled with D&C 122:8, we learn that he experienced the lowest any human can, and has even gone below that. And he did all of that so that he will know how to help us out of our hard times.

DCNR Announces Improvements To PA's PaGWIS – Private Well Owner Database
DCNR Announces Improvements To PA's PaGWIS
The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) recently announced improvements to the PA Groundwater Information System (PaGWIS) private water well database. PaGWIS is a repository of half a million water well records dating back to 1965. Changes to the database include the addition of more than 1,600 springs found in the Commonwealth, and improved search tools, data packages, and report formats.

Pennsylvania Ticks – Yes they are a problem
Pennsylvania has led the nation in confirmed Lyme disease cases each year since 2011. When detected early, Lyme disease and other tick borne diseases can be treated. Left untreated, tick borne diseases can cause a whole host of problems. Early diagnosis is important in preventing long term complications.
After coming inside, always check yourself for ticks. The target areas, head and hair, armpits, back of knees, and waist line/middle of the body, are prime spots to find a tick as they seek out out-of-the-way crevices and warm spaces. Look closely, they are smaller than a freckle.
If a tick does manage to attach itself to you, use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible.
Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Avoid twisting or jerking. Clean the bite area and see a physician. If possible – Save the Tick!

Private Well Owner Outreach to Private Property Owners Association in the Poconos – Monroe County
The Keystone Clean Water Team was very happy to work with the local "Poconos Region" Property Owners Association to offer a private well water screening test for the residents drinking water. For the 2016 program, a total of 16 residents participated in the program and for this program water testing was offered at two different tiers. The basic tier provide general information related to the bacterial quality of the water and level of nitrate, iron, and total hardness. The advanced tier provided testing for trace metals such as arsenic, copper, lead, zinc, and more comprehensive analysis of the overall quality of the water. The following is a summary of the results:
2 samples were positive for total coliform bacteria, but no samples were positive for E. coli.;
1 sample exceeded the drinking water standard for lead and 5 other samples had detectable levels of lead in the water;
13 of the 16 samples contained detectable levels of nitrate, but at no point did the level exceed or approach the drinking water standard of 10 mg/L;
1 sample had elevated levels of manganese, but 3 had detectable levels of manganese in the water; and
15 of the 16 samples were considered slightly to corrosive to metal piping and 1 sample was considered very corrosive to metal piping.
The pH of the water ranged for 6.2 to 7.5 and only two samples had a pH that was less than the recommended drinking water standard of 6.5. These samples were associated with water that had detectable levels of lead, but not the highest level of lead. The sample with the highest level of lead appeared to be a sample collected at the kitchen sink after the water had been treated with a water softener.
From this snapshot, we learned the following:
- There appears to be a 13 % probability that a private well may contain total coliform bacteria.
- The water produced from the aquifer tends to be slightly corrosive and have total hardness that ranges from 30 to 150 mg/L.
- The groundwater does not appear to have elevated levels of nitrate.
- The groundwater does not appear to have E. coli. bacteria.
- Lead was detected in some water samples, but the occurrence in the well water is related to the corrosiveness of the water, type of water treatment, and type of plumbing fixtures in the home and not the groundwater aquifer.
- Homeowners that reported problems with sulfur odor or black particles were the same homeowners that had elevated or detectable level of manganese.
- If you are considering the use of a water softener, please consider the type of household plumbing and it may be necessary to install a neutralizing filter.
Based on these results, we recommend that all private well owners conduct an annual water quality test. To facilitate this effort, the Keystone Clean Water Team offers an online mail order informational water testing program for private well owners throughout the USA and we offer our Know Your H20? Free Phone App. To learn about our mail order program, please visit us at http://www.water-research.net or http://www.knowyourh20.us. If you have any questions, please call or email 570-335-1947 or email@example.com.

Hey everybody, just a quick shout out to remind you of a new limited series starting this week called Thor and the Warriors Four. It showcases not only the Son of Odin himself, but the juvenile hi-jinx of Power Pack as well. I did an interview with writer Alex Zalben a while back about this mini, and he was courteous enough to send us links to the previews for issues #2 and #3. It looks like a very good story, and I (and my daughter) am very excited for this release!
Issue #1 hits stands on April 7th, 2010, with order info here.
This limited series is an all ages rated book and slated to be four issues long. Just looking at those next two covers has me laughing out loud! So this Wednesday, definitely check out issue #1 and see what's in store for Thor and that superhero family affectionately known as Power Pack!

Web Offers Privacy And Personalized Services
April 30, 2001
While the private sector is developing innovative products and voluntary standards to meet the privacy concerns of consumers in e-commerce, experts say government actions pose a greater threat to personal privacy. Legislation to regulate privacy on the Internet may stifle competitive innovations, while leaving the government free to roam.
Two dynamic Internet software industries are emerging. One is data-mining, which produces software to analyze Internet consumer behavior and preferences. The other is privacy software, which stops individual information from being collected and analyzed.

A court in Egypt has upheld the three-month prison sentence given to leading comic actor Adel Imam for insulting Islam in his films and plays, reported BBC News on 25 April 2012.
71-year-old actor Adel Imam was also fined 170 US dollars by the court in the capital, Cairo.
The case brought against Adel Imam by Asran Mansour, a lawyer with ties to Islamist groups, accused the actor of frequently mocking the authorities and politicians in his films and plays, and offending Islam and its symbols.
Asran Mansour was reportedly offended by the film 'Al-Irhabi' (The Terrorist), in which Imam plays a radical Islamist; the play 'Al-Zaeem' (The Leader), a comedy satirising Middle Eastern autocrats; and the film 'Morgan Ahmed Morgan', which sees a rich businessman stand for parliament.
Fellow Egyptian film star Hend Sabri told the BBC World Service's World Update programme:
"We are all scared. We are all scared about our freedom of speech and about the freedom of expressing ourselves and our ideas, and the freedom of our art."
UPDATE: The case was dropped on 26 April 2012
According to an article by Ati Metwaly published in The Majalla on 26 April 2012 under the title 'Islamists on Art – Egypt's arts and culture scene hanging in the balance' the case was dropped on 26 April.
Ati Metwaly writes:
"When Asran Mansour, a Salafi lawyer, filed a case against Adel Imam, renowned Egyptian actor, for "defaming Islam" in his films, no one expected that the verdict issued on 24 April 2012, by Judge Mohamed Abdel Aty would sentence Imam to three-months hard labor and a fine. Though the case was dropped on 26 April afternoon, the news outraged Egypt's artists and equally angered international supporters of freedom of expression and creativity."
Salafis call for banning literature and film
"In Egypt, the Salafis' statements not only oppose intellectual freedom and progress but also testify to lack of understanding of their country's cultural wealth. In his speeches Abdel Moneim El-Shahat, the spokesman of Al-Da'wa Al-Salafiya (The Salafist Call), has called for a ban on works by Naguib Mahfouz, a 1988 Nobel Prize laureate in Literature, for being an "atheist literature that calls for vice" with themes revolving around "prostitution and drugs." El-Shahat also suggested covering statues of the Pharaohs in wax to put an end to the "idolatry." No actual action was taken, and El-Shahat failed to win a seat in the parliamentary elections. His ideas are, however, an example of a mindset that artists and intellectuals fear the most. Meanwhile, other Salafis have called for banning all love scenes in past and present Egyptian movies, including scenes in cinematic gems with Abdel Halim Hafez and Nadia Lutfi, both indisputable icons of Egyptian culture."

text: Hey guys, I finally sold my Klipsch KLF-30s on ebay (due to lack of HT space), and got more from them than I expected. I am so excited... now I can finally get speakers that actually fit into my home theater! My budget is about $1500 total, and I have been doing a lot of research. I'm always open for suggestions of another system, but right now it's between these 5 systems: Orb Mod2 Klipsch Synergy 6 Klipsch RB-61 Klipsch Cinema 10 SVS SBS-01 I don't care about looks--I just want it to sound really good, be in my price range, and be no bigger than bookshelf size. I'm completely split on these systems because the reviews are really great for all 3 of them. Can anyone give me your thoughts? If you've used more than one of these systems, that's even better, but I'll take any thoughts at all. The only two negatives I can think of are: 1. The SVS is supposed to have a massive sub. I have limited room, so that's a negative. 2. The Orbs and Klipsch Cinema 10 system are satelite speakers, so I naturally expect them to have lesser sound quality. But I could be wrong. (Side note: I've always thought my KLF-30s/KLF-C7 sounded kind of bright, but I heard a Klipsch bookshelf speaker at a friend's house the other day, and it didn't sound bright, so I feel okay about getting another Klipsch system.) Pummel, smash, make me look like an idiot. I don't mind! I'm begging for it!! lol But seriously, any thoughts on the above systems (or a suggestion for another)? Thanks, Brian

- I think it's like the interviews....Most of the time, except some, it's LIPS
that makes them. G5 posted two or three times when the "Groups" were called
Clubs". But, it was short message. For Robb and Ivan, maybe they are not
interested by computer's things. Personaly, I think Robb is not the kind to
type his opinion...I don't see him on a chat! But, maybe to be sure to have
only one version they let LIPS writes. He always been the one to communicate
with the crowd and when we used to write at the "Metal Pounders Union" in
the 80's, LIPS answered (handwriting)... As he writes the songs, it means
that he just expresses well himself with the words. It's not everybody that
can. It's an opinion, I don't know if it's there's a reason in fact.

Austin Ridge is part of Lone Star Ranch, a master planned community featuring rolling hills, hike and bike trails, streams, lakes, fountains, open spaces and thousands of trees.
As a resident of Lone Star Ranch, Liter knows first hand about the terrific amenities that will be available to Austin Ridge residents.

Avoiding a ride on the homework helicopter
Dear God, it's only Tuesday. How could that kid have finished the week's homework assignment already? It's not even due until Friday.
A cacophony of guilt roared in my head. Slacker mom! Why didn't you jump on it the first night? How could you even think of letting Big Guy color his own manilla folder gingerbread man when this mom had lovingly cut a fabric triangle to fashion a dress? Don't you love your kids? Don't you want his first homework assignment to look as cool as his classmate's.
I mentally slapped myself in the face and became sane again.
Of course I love my kid. And of course I want his homework to look cool -- but by his standards, not mine.
I'm still not sure what got into me. I've always let the guys create their own art, and I have mounds of photos of paint-covered faces to prove it. For some reason, though, this project seemed too important to leave Big Guy to his own devices. It's homework, for Pete's sake -- something I never encountered until fourth grade, by the way. What if he screws up his first assignment? He'll never get into Stanford.
It put that whole helicopter parenting thing in perspective for me, though. He's not even 5, and idea of him ""failing"" at his first assignment made me want to flutter overhead and make sure he did it right. I suppose even the Black Hawks of helicopter parenting have good intentions when they first go airborne. Somewhere along the line, though, good intentions morph into obsessive-compulsive disorder.
So when we got home tonight I got out the tempera and brushes and let Big Guy create his self-portrait.
Seems he sensed the project was important, too, because instead of his usual reckless slaps and smears, he brushed the paint as carefully as someone who's not quite 5 can.
I had to tie my hands behind my back as he mixed some of his own colors, but then I remembered: His project. His way.
He finished with a squiggle of gold glitter-glue hair. That touch was his brainstorm. The scarlet face (note to self: Buy white paint to mix with the red so your kid won't look sunburned next time) was too wet to paint over, so he scoured the craft cabinet for a solution.
His only disappointment: He had wanted the shirt to replicate the one he was wearing, but there was no gray available. Damn it, why didn't I buy white paint?
In the end, Big Guy and project boy wore the same smile. No helicopter ride in the world would have been worth missing that.
Besides, best to get him used to doing his own homework now. I have no intention of relearning enough algebra to do it for him down the road.

Ron Paul's First Day in the White House: What Will He Do?
LOL….you just KNOW the powers that be would try to have Dr Ron Paul assassinated..Just Like Kennedy…It's the ONLY reason I wouldn't want him to win../=
1 – Google Ron Paul in 60 minutes petition
2 - Petition - CBS News 60 minutes – Get Ron Paul go to change.org
3 - sign the petition
I am the most bitter person in the world politically! All our politicians are tools!
But not YOU Ron Paul! You are the only defender of the Constitution!
You are my ONLY choice for president!!
P$AUL is a DEMON.
He is Evil-NWO, as opposed to Good-NWO.
He refuses to use REAL ROBOTS until all
the "extra" HUMAN robots his crew deems
"useless"are eliminated: P$AUL JONE$
are the tip of that spear posing as protectors !
Sound far fetched ? Know that P$AUL is backed
by an AUSTRIAN JINO CABAL just as HITLER was.

It's almost weird watching an interview, where Ron Paul isn't mocked and ambushed by smear attacks.
I am a liberal democrat and on 2012 I will vote for Ron Paul because I believe that he best represents me and my interests. We have got to stop voting for people simply because he looks like a nice person or because he/she is labeled as a democrat or a republican. We must start reviewing their policies and listening to their ideas and vote for the candidate that best represent the voter. Oh and this will be the first president that I vote for since I am turning 18 next august.
I hope if Israel asked for help we would do something… That or an emergency U.N. Security Meeting………….
hahah did you hear that laugh at 0:19 hahahaahahah
Ron Paul: The Deep Dark Details SEARCH IT!! PEOPLE LISTEN FOR FUCKS SAKES!!!! HE IS A RACIST AND A LIE …IF YOUR A BLACK OR LATINO YOUR IN DEEP SHIT!!!! FOR GOD SAKES DON'T BE IGNORANT..DONT BELIEVE ALEX JONES…NO ON OBAMA NO ON RON PAUL NO ON NWO!!!
What a valid point! The western world talks about extremism, but why did we all build thousands of nuclear missiles when it only takes a few hundred to wipe out the world?
In my opinion Israel should be in the middle of Germany because of the persecution of them during WWII, but the UN decided to help re-establish their borders after a two thousand year absense. What did they expect to happen?
Exactly what did happen!
RON PAUL sir it is an honor sir. Every one only scratches and skirts the symptoms. It has been brought to my attention immigration is an advantage to the treasury. Every person then born in the US with a birth certificate, then is pledged to the bond market. The treasury uses birth certificates as collateral to the FED. If the public discovers they are used as property pledged to the FED. You will rise to the level of every Americans dinner table. END THE FED
I would hate for Ron Paul supporters to seem an angry people. We are for a positive change.
I'm going to call and reasonably urge for the networks to recognize Democracy. The people have used their money and votes to very clearly say Ron Paul is what we want. When they DO give him an honest look, I will call again and thank them, so as to encourage them to represent the people.

I hear New Zealand is good place to live this century.
Hey my amercian friedns. I love your country, country of free people. Please vote for this guy. I don't wanna see USA destroy by socialist scums like Obama.
Are you people all crazy. Since he does not believe the poor should have free health insurance AND that the hospitals do not have to treat people without health care, what the hell happens to all those people. No Social Security? What about all of the elderly and sick. What about the Americans who do not have a job. They need to save up to see a Doctor. THIS IS WHAT HE BELIEVES. I have worked my whole life. I have never been on welfare and I pay for private insurance. But what about the people out there with a mental illness or a terminal disease or just a low IQ. They starve and die? I like him. I like A lot of his views, but he is insane if he thinks he can cancel welfare and health care and social security. OMG the freakin rate of crime would jump a thousand percent. People would be stealing just to live. This did not work in the past and will not work. Bring home our troops, stay out of other peoples business, decriminalize drugs, let the people who are in jail out if they just were users and not violent or dealers ect, but on the health care and every single thing he feels about helping the sick and the poor and the less fortunate the man is out of his mind and NEVER god help us be president. I urge all of you to really look into his views on this subject. My husband was a huge supporter until I showed him what this man really believes. He was in disbelief and told everyone he knew.

In the film 'The Good, the Bad and The Ugly' which is Directed by Serigo Leone. The film is of three men who go on a treasure hunt together. Tuco, who is known as "the ugly" is friends with "the good" who goes by Blondie. Then later on in the film Angel Eyes who is known as "the Bad" comes to know that the gold that was discovered really belonged to a man named Bill Carson. Blondie leaves his friend Tuco in the desert alone then apparently runs into Bill Carson. Soon Bill dies and Tuco and them are then taken to jail by the Confederate soldiers and at that time Angel Eyes is still on a quest to find that treasure. As this is going on Angel Eyes comes across Tuco and suddenly beats on him for the information about the treasure. From here on everything goes outta place, with the three men holding themselves at gunpoint and asking to dig up the treasure and the other asking for it, but Tuco and Blondie resume their old friendship with one another.
For this film, I had to watch it out of class because I was not able to view it on the dates that were given. This was an ok movie to watch it kept me interested on what was going to happen. However this was a very long film but all in all it's a good movie to see.

STAR Group officers have arrested a man, who allegedly had been armed with a gun, after a siege at Northfield.
The man had been holed up in a house on the intersection of Swift St and Swift Ct before he was arrested at nearby Charles St, outside the Northgate Sports and Community Club, about 10.20am.
Adelaidenow understands the man was considered a high-risk of using the firearm. Police have been searching the area for the gun.
They have removed an item from a roof gutter and seized an immature cannabis plant from the back of the house.
The man was arrested as he and his dog attempted to cross Duncan Fraser Reserve.
Neighbours said there had been a siege at the same house several weeks ago.
The siege is understood to have been sparked by a domestic dispute. Police sources said they were searching the Northfield house for guns.

Care Home Open Day: 16 June 2017
Care Home Open Day: 17 June 2016
2016's theme was 'Celebration'.
April Ross, our Membership Coordinator visited outstanding rated Attleborough Grange, WCS Care. The celebration was a wedding between two staff members, the bride was given away by resident Fred and the residents celebrated afterwards with dancing and songs performed by local singer Kathy.
NCHOD has helped to:
- Improve links with the local community
By opening doors to the local community care homes were able to show all the positive things happening at care homes day-in and day-out. MPs and other local dignitaries, GPs, schools and churches, and the local press, artists and volunteers, relatives and friends came along.
- Challenge misconceptions associated with care homes
We know that the best care homes are open and transparent places the open day lets people from the community judge for themselves.
- Enrich the lives of people living in care homes
Those living in care homes deserve to be involved in special events, and feel included with things that are happening outside of their care home.
- Recognise the work of carers
The best care requires dedication and commitment day-in and day-out! The National Care Home Open Day is an opportunity for visitors to see the important impact which carers have on a daily basis.
- Accentuate the positives
The National Care Home Open Day demonstrates the creativity and imagination present in care settings. Being part of a national/international event boosts morale and creates a sense of togetherness. The atmosphere on the day was full of excitement with something to get people talking for days to come.
- Encourage volunteering
People living in care homes get real enjoyment from visits from those in the local community. Visitors are able to see what a difference they could make by offering a small amount of their time, and get a feel for working in the sector.

Success and failure
The Cambodia line-up for today's game against Vietnam: LtoR [back] Udom, Narith, Yaty, Tiny, Rithy, Borey. [front] Sotheara, Sokumpheak, Sokngorn, Raksmey, SovannarithCambodia found Vietnam in no mood to dish out the niceties in their final Group A SEA Games match this afternoon at Chao Anouvong. If anyone thought that Vietnam would take it easy on their neighbours then they were mistaken, as they pummeled the Cambodian team into submission, leading 2-0 at halftime and then piling on the agony in the second half, to win 6-1. Cambodia gave their opponents too much room to play in and didn't get in nearly enough tackles, as Vietnam adopted their fast-paced style of football and proved too hot to handle for the Cambodian youngsters. Khim Borey pulled back a consolation goal for Cambodia after Vietnam had netted four without reply but it was too little too late and another couple of goals in the last 7 minutes gave the scoreline that lopsided look. Three defeats and that win over East Timor showed that Cambodia still have some way to go to match the better teams in SEAsia, but they always knew their Group was going to be very difficult, and that's exactly how it turned out. Thailand, who've won the last eight gold medals in SEA Games at mens football won't win this time around after losing late on to Malaysia, 2-1, when they only needed a draw to go through. More from the Cambodia match later.
Earlier in the day I went to the national university complex to give some support to the Cambodian petanque (boules) team and was pleased to see that the men and women's singles competitors were on top of their game. I couldn't stay for the afternoon finals but they won their semi-finals against Laos opponents with room to spare and with some style. Sok Chanmean is already a SEA Games gold medalist from 2007 and showed his class in his semi-final. At the same time, national ladies singles champion Ouk Sreymom disposed of her semi-final opponent with some ease to qualify for the final. The support given to the players by their own Cambodian contingent was noisy, with the petanque squad comprising 12 men and 12 women and all were on the sidelines cheering their colleagues onto victory. I've just heard that Sok Chanmean took the mens singles gold medal but Ouk Sreymom had to settle for the silver in her final, as she did in 2007.

I've found it sold at Loblaws and gas stations, does anyone know where I can buy it in larger quantities and cheaper prices? Does anyone know of another beef jerky brand that tastes as good as Jack Link's if so let me know! The largest bag is 113g for $6.99. Can I get it cheaper anywhere else?

"6 hours waiting for angiocath"
About: Fairfield General Hospital Fairfield General Hospital Bury BL9 7TD
Posted via NHS Choices
. I was waiting in bed from 7 pm to 1 am for someone to come and attach angiocath to my arm. I asked more than 6 times but every time staff just told me leave it to me. Finally a nurse came at 1am, she said she was not aware, and she is from another ward. It is so unprofessional and careless.

It's reached that time of year when I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark I think the lawn may have been mown for the last time this year, the front hedge has been cut and garden furniture packed away in the garage until next spring.
What's a girl to do these long evenings?
I cleared the decks in my craft room and set to. Fifty xmas cards later and I'm feeling quite smug... never have I been so organised. I adapted a simple idea that I stole from Pinterest and set up a production line, everything used came from my stash.
Next up, another crocheted cat blanket knocked up for the Cats Protection from odds and sods. I was whittling down my yarn stash quite nicely until Friday when I visited Uckfield's many charity shops and came away with 200g of variegated DK.
I've a new project on my hook which I'm hoping to share with you soon... provided I get my head around the pattern instructions!
Speaking of yarn, this next card was made for Helen, a Stitch & Bitch chum who'll be celebrating a big birthday next weekend. (No need to remind her of the number) She loves all things pretty and pink so let's hope she likes it.
And the Coq au Vin?? Well I forgot to take a photo of it before I dished it up for lunch yesterday but here is the wreckage.
Did you see Nigella last week? I'm only surprised that she didn't lick the camera lens!

Buoyed by midweek wins, these two clubs square off in Commerce City. Fatigue will be an issue, but moral shouldn't.
Colorado Rapids (4-4-2): Pickens; Kimura, Wynne, Marshall, Moor; Mullan, Mastroeni, Larentowicz, Thompson; Nyassi, Cummings.
OUT: FW Conor Casey (L achilles tear)
QUESTIONABLE: FW Macoumba Kandji (L knee ACL tear); PROBABLE: GK Matt Pickens (R groin strain); MF Brian Mullan (lower back spasms); DF Anthony Wallace (R quad strain); DF Danny Earls (L quadriceps contusion); FW Omar Cummings (R ankle sprain)
New England Revolution (4-3-3): Reis; Tierney, Soares, Barnes, Alston; McCarthy, Joseph, Phelan; Schilawski, Lekic, Boggs.
OUT: FW Kheli Dube (whiplash)
PROBABLE: DF Kevin Alston (L hamstring tightness); MF Zak Boggs (L high ankle sprain); DF Ryan Cochrane (L foot pain); DF Chris Tierney (L hamstring tightness)
These two sides met in May and ground out a scoreless draw in Gillette Stadium.
- The Rapids have already scored seven goals this week. The reigning MLS Cup champ dropped a 4-3 result in Seattle before whipping New York 4-1 at home. Sanna Nyassi scored a hat-trick against the Red Bulls.
- The Revs also received a boost midweek by snapping a nine-game winless streak. D.C. United was the victim in the 1-0 result. Stephen McCarthy scored the game's only goal.
- Last season's title-winning strike partnership of Conor Casey and Omar Cummings has only featured together four times this year. That number will remain at four after Casey injured his Achilles tendon against Seattle. He'll miss the rest of the season.
- With 19 points, New England sits just one point above last place in the Eastern Conference. Colorado is tied for fourth in the West, on 30 points.
- Colorado only has two days following the All-Star Game Wednesday before visiting Philadelphia to face the Union.

Pope Benedict arrives in Jordan
At 3.30pm. local time yesterday, the Holy Father arrived at the "Regina Pacis" Centre in the Jordanian capital city of Amman. The centre, founded by Bishop Salim Sayegh, Latin patriarchal vicar of Jordan, is dedicated to the social rehabilitation of people with disabilities. Having been greeted by His Beatitude Fouad Twal, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, the Pope began his remarks by praising the work of the Comboni Sisters and the lay staff who work in the centre.
"Like countless pilgrims before me", he said, "it is now my turn to satisfy that profound wish to touch, to draw solace from and to venerate the places where Jesus lived, the places which were made holy by His presence. Since apostolic times, Jerusalem has been the primary place of pilgrimage for Christians, but earlier still, in the ancient Near East, Semitic peoples built sacred shrines in order to mark and commemorate a divine presence or action. And ordinary people would travel to these centres carrying a portion of the fruits of their land and livestock to offer in homage and thanksgiving".
"Every one of us is a pilgrim", he continued. "We are all drawn forward, with purpose, along God's path ... sometimes with trepidation or anxiety, but always with expectation and hope, knowing too that there are others who encourage us along the way. I know that the journeys that have led many of you to the 'Regina Pacis' Centre have been marked by suffering or trial. Some of you struggle courageously with disabilities, others of you have endured rejection. ... Of particular importance, I know, is the centre's great success in promoting the rightful place of the disabled in society".
"At times it is difficult to find a reason for what appears only as an obstacle to be overcome or even as pain - physical or emotional - to be endured. Yet faith and understanding help us to see a horizon beyond our own selves in order to imagine life as God does. God's unconditional love, which gives life to every human individual, points to a meaning and purpose for all human life".
"Unlike the pilgrims of old, I do not come bearing gifts or offerings. I come simply with an intention, a hope: to pray for the precious gift of unity and peace, most specifically for the Middle East. Peace for individuals, ... for communities, peace for Jerusalem, for the Holy Land, for the region, peace for the entire human family; the lasting peace born of justice, integrity and compassion, the peace that arises from humility, forgiveness and the profound desire to live in harmony as one.
"Prayer is hope in action", the Holy Father added, for through it "we come into loving contact with the one God, the universal Creator, and in so doing we come to realise the futility of human divisions and prejudices and we sense the wondrous possibilities that open up before us when our hearts are converted to God's truth, to His design for each of us and our world".
Turning then to address young people at the centre, Benedict XVI said that among them he "drew strength from God". And he went on: "Your experience of trials, your witness to compassion, and your determination to overcome the obstacles you encounter, encourage me in the belief that suffering can bring about change for the good. In our own trials, and standing alongside others in their struggles, we glimpse the essence of our humanity, we become, as it were, more human. And we come to learn that, on another plane, even hearts hardened by cynicism or injustice or unwillingness to forgive are never beyond the reach of God, can always be opened to a new way of being, a vision of peace".
The Holy Father concluded his remarks by calling upon everyone "to pray every day for our world" and, now in particular, "for me every day of my pilgrimage; for my own spiritual renewal in the Lord, and for the conversion of hearts to God's way of forgiveness and solidarity so that my hope - our hope - for unity and peace in the world will bear abundant fruit".
Following his visit, the Holy Father went to the apostolic nunciature in Amman. Later today he is due to travel to the Al-Husseiniyeh Palace where he will pay a courtesy visit to Jordanian monarchs King Abdullah II and Queen Rania.

Hi! Michelle from the Alice Promotions Team here, and I've basically won the work lottery because I am with Jayn while she broadcasts her show from Aulani, Disney's incredible resort & spa in Hawaii! This is the first business trip I've ever taken, and I think now I'm spoiled for life.
Aulani Resort has been on my bucket list because I'm a huge fan of both Disney and Hawaii (obviously) – so the chance to experience both at once is ideal! If you've ever been to a Disney resort, you know that Disney's attention to detail is unparalleled, and that is really on display at Aulani Resort. They have literally (yes, literally) thought of everything to perfectly blend your favorite things about Disney AND give you the dreamiest island vacation. I mean, even the music in the elevators are magical Hawaiian versions of your favorite Disney tunes!
Since arriving I've tried to take in everything I possibly can and explore the resort as much as possible, and I know there is still so much I haven't covered! I've walked all over the resort (which takes forever, since I'm stopping every 3 seconds to take photos of every insanely gorgeous view), gone to the beach (only stuck my big toe in the ocean, though), eaten some outrageously decadent food (Lobster breakfast sandwich? Okay.), and even ruined my blowout because the stunning infinity pool and lazy river were just too irresistible (worth it). Next up, I'm trying to psych myself up to go paddle boarding! I mean, I already got my hair wet, so I might as well be adventurous!

The 52-year-old, who won world 500cc titles in 1976-77, died early this afternoon on the Gold Coast.
He was diagnosed on July 22 last year with cancer of the upper stomach and oesophagus.
Five-time world 500cc motorcycle champion Mick Doohan said Sheene was a close friend and a great influence on his career.
"We knew he was ill, but it's still very sad," Doohan said.
"We had a lot of fun together and he also helped me a lot over the years with how I went about my racing.
"Barry left his mark as a motorcycle racer, but he was much more than that.
"He was a guy who put a smile on a lot of people's faces. He's going to be missed."
Sheene tried everything to beat the disease which included chemotherapy treatment and natural alternatives.
When he was diagnosed, Sheene was typically upbeat.
"Although this is a complete pain in the arse it happens to a lot of people and a lot of people get over it," Sheene said at the time.
"I will do everything in my power to beat this thing."
He leaves a wife Stephanie and two teenaged children, a daughter Sidonie and a son Freddie.
Sheene fitted the bill perfectly as the motorcycling world champion, famous as much for his his playboy lifestyle as his sporting prowess.
He was born in London in 1950 and was introduced to motorsport at the age of five.
Sheene took up professional racing in 1968 and reached the pinnacle of his sport when he won back-to-back 500cc world titles in 1976 and 1977.
He was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2001.
Sheene was regarded as almost indestructible on the track, and at one stage in his career he had metal plates in both knees, 28 screws in his legs and his left wrist.
In his heyday in the 1970s, Sheene was a household name around the world and became one of the sport's first multi-millionaires.
He came across as the archetypal cheeky "cockney" -- charming, quick-witted and outspoken -- which helped him in his later career at a motorsport commentator.
Sheene retired from riding in 1984 and moved to the Gold Coast.
Australia's 1987 world motorcycle champion Wayne Gardner said he was shocked to hear of Sheene's death.
"He was my hero, someone I looked up to and I had a lot of good times with him," Gardner said.
"I really thought he would have pulled through this one.
"I knew it needed miracle but I also knew he was the sort of guy to pull things off.
"I'm just so sad."
Network Ten's David White paid tribute to Sheene, who was a popular motorsport commentator on the network.
"Barry Sheene was not only a champion motorcycle rider but he was a champion fellow," White said.
"He fought long and hard with this and he remained positive right to the very end."
A private family funeral is expected to be held later this week.
