text: World View: Russia, West Plan Next Steps After Crimea Referendum Print article Send a Tip by John J. Xenakis 17 Mar 2014 post a comment This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com Islamic Jihad gaining popularity over Hamas in Gaza Western politicians express outrage as Crimea votes to join Russia Russia and the West plan their next steps after Crimea referendum Islamic Jihad gaining popularity over Hamas in Gaza Although Hamas is the governing authority in Gaza, last week's rocket barrage from Gaza into Israel came from Islamic Jihad, not from Hamas. Hamas has been losing popularity, and Hamas's loss has been Islamic Jihad's gain. Hamas has faced a variety of problems in recent months: Hamas used to have its headquarters in Damascus, Syria, but when the regime of Syria's president Bashar al-Assad began exterminating Sunni women and children, Hamas split from Syria and was forced to move its headquarters to Doha, Qatar. Hamas's biggest financial backer used to be Iran, which provided $20 million per month, in addition to weapons. When Hamas split with Iran's ally Syria, Iran split with Hamas and now funds Islamic Jihad. Hamas was formed over 30 years ago as an offshoot of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, so when Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood came to power in Egypt in June of 2012, Hamas rejoiced. But after the military ousted Morsi and declared MB to be a terrorist organization, Hamas's relationship with Egypt became extremely contentious. Egypt has declared Hamas to be a terrorist organization, and the army has incessantly worked to destroy the smuggling tunnels between Gaza and Egypt. Other countries and organizations that used to support Hamas can no longer do so as well. Turkey used to provide political and economic support, but Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is mired in political corruption allegations. The Gulf States used to provide support, but they're split into two factions, the Saudi Arabian faction fighting against MB, and the Qatar faction supporting MB. Lebanon's terrorist group Hezbollah used to ally with Hamas in the "resistance" against Israel, but Hezbollah is bogged down fighting in Syria as an ally of Bashar al-Assad's regime. Even worse, the Syrian civil war has spilled over into a Shia/Sunni conflict within Lebanon. The result is that the Gaza economy is in freefall along with Hamas's popularity. The wages of most government employees haven't been paid for months, there are shortages of fuel, electricity, building materials, and some basic foodstuffs. Gazans are turning to Islamic Jihad, which has been arming for a future war with Israel. Israel Hayom and Fox News Western politicians express outrage as Crimea votes to join Russia Jubilant citizens in Lenin Square in Crimea's capital Simferopol celebrated Sunday's referendum on secession from Ukraine, where Crimeans voted more than 95% in favor of seceding to join the Russian Federation. According to Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague: Nothing in the way that the referendum has been conducted should convince anyone that it is a legitimate exercise. The referendum has taken place at 10 days' notice, without a proper campaign or public debate, with the political leaders of the country being unable to visit Crimea, and in the presence of many thousands of troops from a foreign country. It is a mockery of proper democratic practice. The UK does not recognise the referendum or its outcome, in common with the majority of the international community. France's president François Hollande said Saturday that if there is no "de-escalation" in Ukraine, there will be "sanctions" Monday from the EU against Russia: It is a "pseudo referendum" in the Crimea because it does not conform to the Ukrainian domestic law and international law. This is why France and the European Union will not recognize the validity of this pseudo referendum. According to Canada's prime minister Stephen Harper: The so-called referendum held today was conducted with Crimea under illegal military occupation. Its results are a reflection of nothing more than Russian military control. This "referendum" is illegitimate, it has no legal effect, and we do not recognize its outcome. Canada is working with other countries on the possibility of further sanctions. President Barack Obama telephoned Russia's President Vladimir Putin on Sunday saying the U.S. and allies are "prepared to impose additional costs on Russia for its actions." According to the White House: We reject the "referendum" that took place today in the Crimean region of Ukraine. This referendum is contrary to Ukraine's constitution, and the international community will not recognize the results of a poll administered under threats of violence and intimidation... President Obama reiterated that a diplomatic resolution cannot be achieved while Russian military forces continue their incursions into Ukrainian territory and that the large-scale Russian military exercises on Ukraine's borders only exacerbate the tension. AFP and La Tribune (France) and BBC and NBC News and Canadian Press Russia and the West plan their next steps after Crimea referendum European Union leaders, supported by President Obama, plan to meet on Monday in Brussels to decide on sanctions against Russia. If Russia takes no further action in Ukraine, it's possible that the whole sanction plan will be abandoned and things will go back to business as usual, with Crimea's secession a fait accompli. However, it seems very likely that Russia will take further action. The first and most logical action would seem to be the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. However, some analysts say that may not be the most likely first step. Most people seem to agree that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to rebuild the Soviet/Russian empire and wants all of Ukraine, not just Crimea. According to this logic, Putin would hold off annexing Crimea until he could launch a full invasion first of eastern Ukraine, then all of Ukraine, pushing west all the way across Ukraine to the border of Moldova and its secessionist province Transnistria.

text: About that Bipartisan Dorner Fan Club by John Sexton Feb 16, 2013 2:21 PM PT Last week Rosie Gray wrote a post at Buzzfeed titled "The Christopher Dorner Fan Club Is More Mainstream Than You'd Think." Mainstream, yes. Bipartisan, not so much. The article attempts to make the case that the #teamDorner phenomenon is spread across the aisle, "Dorner is now hailed as a kind of folk hero by some on the Chomsky-esque left and the Ron Paul right, who view the killer's manifesto as an articulate indictment of the "police state" they have always opposed. " But the rest of the article is devoted to recounting the liberal outlets and individuals who have expressed admiration for Dorner. Gray opens with Marc Lamont Hill who said with apparent enthusiasm on CNN "It's almost like watching Django Unchained in real life, it's kind of exciting." There's also a story at Alternet which argues that Dorner was a "bad man" but may become an enduring black folk hero. Additionally Gray points to stories at Salon which she describes as "sympathetic" and one at Vice about Anonymous' sympathy for Dorner's views on police.Continue reading Share This: Read more

Kevin's Story
Kevin was looking for the right fit. He decided he wanted to do something 'real' and he knew he needed to do something soon. At 420 pounds, Kevin was pushing his body to the limit. His knees and ankles were suffering and simple things like getting out of a car or getting out of bed were very difficult.
Kevin chose Miami Valley Hospital (in Dayton) because of "the overwhelming word-of-mouth reputation it has." He did a lot of research and talked to friends. "They all said 'go to the Valley'." Kevin found the information seminar prior to surgery very well done. "I enjoyed seeing others' success. The seminar really helped solidify my decision."
Kevin chose the LAP-BAND® procedure and Dr. Donovan Teel performed the surgery. "Dr. Teel is so personable. I really like him very much." Actually, Kevin found the entire team at Miami Valley Hospital (in Dayton) to be supportive and empathetic. "It was an awesome experience from the moment I walked in the door at Miami Valley."
Life has certainly changed for Kevin. His surgery was in November 2007 and so far, he's dropped 80 pounds. "Already my knees and ankles don't hurt as much and it's so much easier to get out of the car."

What is it like to ride on the beer train? Scott Rappold of the Colorado Springs Gazette describes his trip on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad's annual "Rails to Ales" outing.
Another television series will have its own beer. Albuquerque's Marble Brewery will brew Heisenberg's Dark, an India black ale named for Walter White's drug-dealing alias in Breaking Bad.
Hawaii is surrounded by ocean water, and Aloha Brewing Company is using it to brew Gose beer, a style that originated in Goslar, Germany, whose water is naturally salty.
Finally, a Czech hockey team was forced to leave town because of a dispute over beer. The club played in Budvar Arena, but their league was contractually obligated to serve a competing brand.

There is a legion of plant people who have made container gardening one of the hottest trends of the moment. I have to admit that I'm one of that clan. We've come to know that growing plants in pots as a real joy — and we're doing our best to spread the word far and wide.I've started a list of the reasons I'm grateful for this popular part of the gardening hobby. Here are the ones that come to mind first.• It's never too late to start plants in pots. You can even do so now, as we near the warmest time of the summer. There are plenty of plants that will do very well in the unique surroundings of a container garden.• Every plant becomes a "star" when it's grown in a container. The pot acts as its pedestal, raising it to a position of prominence in its surroundings.• There is a pot of every size, style and color. Containers make their own architectural statements within their parts of the landscape. And it's not just pots. "Containers" might be wire baskets, old wall fountains or cast-iron urns — there is absolutely no limit.• You can group visually compatible containers into a community of plants. When they're handled that way, container plants take the place of shrubs, yet they give so much more flexibility in your garden design.• Rabbits and dogs won't be as likely to bother plants in pots, especially large containers. When you begin to realize how difficult animals are to control otherwise, you really appreciate this solution.• You can alter the potting soil to match each type of plant that you're growing. Add more organic matter if you need better water retention. Add a little gravel for cacti and succulents that need perfect drainage.• Pots ensure good drainage. That assumes, of course, that you have a drain hole in each pot in your collection. If you don't, you'll want to start drilling. Use a masonry bit and a variable-speed drill. Keep it lubricated with water as you carefully bore through the bottom. Rest it firmly against a block of wood to absorb the shock.Or, much better, just don't ever buy pots without drain holes, or at least have the nursery do the drilling (and accept the risk) for you.• A container planting can look mature the moment you finish potting the plants up. Start with a handsome hanging basket or several 1-gallon pots of your favorite flowers. You'll be amazed at how quickly you'll achieve the great look.Container choicesOne of the main reasons patio pots have become such items of style is because we have so many lovely types available in greenhouses and nurseries. There are so many glorious options that anyone can become a container-gardening guru in just a few moments.The one place where too many people fall short, however, is in choosing the right pot size for the plants they're growing. Too often, we shoot short of the mark, choosing pots that are too small. By mid- to late summer, our plants become root-bound and constantly dry. Many of the plants we grow need pots that are 16 to 24 inches in diameter and height, and some will need pots that are larger still. Sure, those pots will cost a good bit more, but they'll last for many years, so consider them as investments in successful gardening.Potting-soil perfectionI'm really picky when it comes to potting soils. Almost all of the commercial mixes I see on the market are simply too "heavy," that is, too dense. They may contain actual topsoil. They pack down with time, and they retain water too long. I like a bag of potting soil that surprises me with its light weight when I pick it up in the nursery.If I'm mixing my own potting soil, it will probably contain 50 to 60 percent sphagnum peat moss. I'll use 20 to 30 percent finely ground pine bark mulch, 15 percent horticultural grade perlite and, to give it some ballast against strong winds, 5 percent expanded shale. I blend all of that together with care, and it makes a great mix for almost all the plants that I grow.Creating the plantingsYou'll hear landscape designers referring to "thrillers," "fillers" and "spillers." Tall plants that are the prime focal points of the plantings are the thrillers, because they're the ones that provide the most visible accent. Spillers tumble out over the edges of the pots and hang down toward the ground. Fillers take up the rest of the space, adding breadth and fluff to their arrangements. Before you begin your container career, look at what others have done. No doubt, you'll see ample variations on this principle. And with hundreds of plant types at your beckon, there should be no limit to your creativity.Feeding and wateringPlants in containers have smaller water reservoirs than their counterparts in the ground. That means you'll have to water and feed them more often. With large plants in hot weather, you may even find yourself watering them daily, sometimes even twice daily, just to keep them from wilting badly.Nutrients will drain away every time you water, so you'll need an ongoing supply. Use a diluted solution of high-nitrogen, water-soluble plant food each time. Supplement that with an encapsulated, timed-release plant food that provides continuous feeding for three months and longer. Your plants should have good color and vigorous, sustained growth all through the season.

Volcanic Eyjafjallajökull dirt-splurt space snap
The ESA has released this pic of the Icelandic volcano plume currently paralyzing air traffic above northern Europe and Britain. The pic was snapped yesterday by the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer instrument aboard the Envisat spacecraft, before the plume had spread to cover the southern UK. Envisat image of the …
"volcanic gunge stream"
"Ash cloud" . Pah!
Kudos to el reg, cutting away the euphamisms. Now can you follow it up by estimating the amount of gunge kicking around our airspace (to the nearest few megajubs will do)
We'd like it in kiloWales, please.
As I was driving into work this morning the radio was announcing that one or two flights into Glasgow/Prestwick were going ahead, so I don't think you put much research into this.
Re Travel
The flights allowed were (at the time of writing) only local/internal flights. The article states that flights into and out of England were halted, so El Reg is correct.
From the BBC:
"An Air Transat flight to Toronto took off from Glasgow Airport at 0800 BST. "
From: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8624306.stm
@ Travel
El Reg is, as always, perfectly accurate. Last time I was there, Prestwick was in Scotland.
Do you want it? Useless as an Airport and a town.
Remember those old airports you used to see in films like Airport '79 and such.... that's Prestwick today. Sorry, Glasgow Prestwick International Airport. As close to Glasgow as Beauvais is to Paris, i.e. not very!
no con trails
I would like to express my appreciation to the editor that wrote that headline and subhead. That was some goddam brilliant writing.
Headline writing is an art, and this example is a masterpiece. Its punchiness and general waggishness might even exceed my all-time favorite headline, "Lax Styx Wax Clicks." I would memorize this so I could cite it as a paradigm of headline writing, if I thought I could memorize "Eyjafjallaokull."
I have to say the standard of headlines is getting pretty high - I mean just yesterday we had "Herd of sheep, off tits on drugs, savagely Tased" - how fantastic is that FFS?
Now I need a new password
Curse you all for publicising this volcano, i thought "Eyjafjallaokull" was such a good password
FFS, how many times do people need to be told not to use the name of their pet volcano as a password?
According to the new rules of Scrabble I've just scored four hundred points.
Title word check - Pass
How is Eyeful-o-yoghurt a tongue twister?
The last time it erupted
it lasted for TWO years... 1821 to 1823.
Holiday's at home for a while eh lads?
Re: two years
Want to bet that share price in the ferries and tunnel go up? If so see your friendly stockbroker.
Two years
Relax. Whilst there were a number of short periods when it erupted violently producing a lot of ash; most of the time Eyjafjallajökull just grumbled away.
On a media hype scale, this might be huge; but the eruption is much smaller than Mount St. Helens. It's just better placed for maximum buggeration in the current weather patterns.
At last...
I can see my "Groupe Eurotunnel SA" shares taking an upward trajectory. Woohoo! Shame about my British Airways shres though. ;-(

Michael O'Dreary must be having a money-gasam, all those flights canncelled and not a penny to pay back due to an "Act of God".

So the people of London are getting a decent night sleep at last due to their airports being shut?
If this volcano continues, we could see our Scottish airports getting a massive increase of business and therefore helping the local economy?
Well until the wind changes... ;-)
No such luck
No reduction in aircraft noise around here, unfortunately. The sky is still full of the usual annoying low-flying helicopters and other light aircraft doing aerobatics, etc.
I keep hoping their engines will seize up, but no luck so far. Infernal combustion jobs, presumably. Must be immune to ash.
Yo Iceland, listen up

Iceland = Undefined?
I was under the impression that Iceland straddles both Europe and North America, hence the ridiculous amounts of seismic and volcanic activity to be found there.
Unless you mean Iceland, the purveyor of piss-poor frozen foods? If my mum went to Iceland, I'd get her labotomised.
Al Gore
Will he require Iceland to cough up some dough for re-distribution to countries that do not have active volcanoes?
Do they get a discount for the grounding of aircraft?
Ashcloud Modelling
Eyjafjallajökull ash cloud computer modelling and prediction (Iceland Meteorological Institute website ) with model images.
Ash cloud Modellers...
...are Norwegian Meteorological Institute, not Icelandic MI. It was right there in Google Translator Extension and you think I could see it? Damn ash cloud.
Damn you Ísland!
OK, so Iceland couldn't muster a naval force during the cod wars to defeat the mighty Royal Navy, so they thought, lets just wait a couple of years then nick all their money and drop several thousand tonnes of ash on them. They won't expect that.
I always wondered why a country so near, so unthreatening and with so much in common was a sort of enemy. Now I know why! I would suggest dropping a nuke on them, but the fallout would apparently just blow back to us.
The beggars
What's worse, they deliberately named the volcano so we couldn't pronounce it.
Linguistic warfare, that is!
Yea, we couldn't "muster" a naval force to match an "enemy" who's navy represents ~13% of the entire Icelandic population, backed by a military force that represents ~60% of the population... Surprising, ain't it? (Which makes the fact that we essentially "won" the "wars" that more impressive. - Brute force isn't always the answer :P)
And yes, we all came together and decided to purposefully collapsed our economy and *cause* a volcanic eruption, to do minor damage to the UK economy and delay a few airplanes. - (... just for the lulz xD)
Just in time deliveries...
Better not mention which supplier, but we had a breakdown on a piece of kit last night. The Engineer gloomily said: "I hope they haven't sent *all* the spares to the European warehouse or we're stuffed"
(yep, no black helicopter for an emergency delivery)
Hahahahahahaha... <wipes away tear>

Finally, druid-thunderclap w/o the slow. Will suck for things that need to be CCed if they intend to get rid of the AOE game but that is nothing those of us who tanked in BC are not used to already.Thrash (Level 81): Thrash deals damage and causes all targets within 10 yards to bleed every 2 seconds for 6 seconds. The intent here is to give bears another button to hit while tanking. Talents will affect the bleed, such as causing Swipe to deal more damage to bleeding targets. 5-second cooldown. 25 Rage.
WHAT...THE!!! This is amazing. This probably will not go live as is, hits way to many targets, will probably be reduced to 5 yard range or at the very least party (physical 5 man party) only.Stampeding Roar (Level 83): The druid roars, increasing the movement of all allies within 10 yards by 40% for 8 seconds. Stampeding Roar can be used in cat or bear form, but bears might have a talent to drop the cooldown. The goal of this ability is to give both bears and cats a little more situational group utility. 3-minute cooldown. No cost.
This 100% will not go live like this, unless it costs like 5K+ mana. Will be an amazing pulling tool (thinking back to the days when the druid would have to be in caster form in heroics and use a hurricane on the pull to get initial agro).Wild Mushroom (Level 85): Grows a magical mushroom at the target location. After 4 seconds the mushroom becomes invisible. Enemies who cross the mushroom detonate it, causing it to deal area-of-effect damage, though its damage component will remain very effective against single targets. The druid can also choose to detonate the mushroom ahead of time. This is primarily a tool for the Balance druid, and there will be talents that play off of it. No cooldown. 40-yard range. Instant cast.
We knew this already but good to hear it again.Haste will also benefit Energy generation while in cat form.
DID NOT expect that. Very surprising revelation. Almost as surprising as the lack of a druid healer "cast on person to reduce damage taken" spell. Maybe it will be a new talent.Unlike the other healers, Restoration druids will not be receiving any new spells. They have plenty to work with already, and our challenge instead is to make sure all of them have a well-defined niche. A druid should be able to tank-heal with stacks of Lifebloom, spot-heal a group with Nourish and Regrowth, and top off lightly wounded targets with Rejuvenation.
Good to know, maim was terrible as an interrupt because it needed combo points. Not sure what they mean about the bear thing, difference between tanking and damage dealing as a bear?We want to add tools to cat form and depth to bear form. If a Feral cat is going to fill a very similar niche to that of a rogue, warrior or Enhancement shaman, it needs a few more tools -- primarily a reliable interrupt. Bears need to be pushing a few more buttons just so the contrast between tanking and damage-dealing is not so steep.
Not what I wanted to hear, REMOVE THE POSITION FROM SHRED!We will be buffing the damage of Mangle (cat) significantly so that when cat druids cannot Shred, they are not at such a damage-dealing loss.
This is good, increases in the duration of even rake would be HUGE for rotations but if they do more than that it will probably be too good.We want to make the Feral cat damage rotation slightly more forgiving. We do not want to remove what druids like about their gameplay, but we do want to make it less punishing to miss, say, a Savage Roar or Rake. The changes here will be on par with increasing the duration of Mangle like we did for patch 3.3.3.
YES YES YES YES YES !!!!!!!!!We plan on giving Feral cats and bears a Kick/Pummel equivalent -- an interrupt that is off the global cooldown and does no damage. We feel like they need this utility to be able to fill the melee role in a dungeon or raid group, and to give them more PvP utility.
good, it is pretty weak right now.Savage Defense is the current bear mechanic for converting crits into damage absorption and will be improved for bears.
Negatives: No furor change announced, no new bear tanking cooldown although maybe that is what they meant about "bears needing to be more tanky not just DPSing from in front as a bear"

The pop-up space (complete with gold horse balloons – love!) was dedicated to their latest campaign – J'aime Mon Carré. It's all about how you would style up a classic Hermès scarf (with a little expert help from the scarf stylists and their clever flip book of folding and knotting techniques).
Inspired by all of the be-a-u-tiful Matt Irwin snaps of fashionable Hermès-scarf-wearing girls he photographed across the globe, I was more than keen to get my own stylist to work their magic. So, what style to go for? Belt? Fabric bracelet? Napkin head? Oh, the decisions! I was rather jealous of a 10-year-old's pirate-inspired, wrap-around headscarf but opted for something a little more grown up - a turban-like band in a bright orange pony print. Yum. Goes well with the lipstick, yah? Turns out that the most popular style in the hipster venue has been the Lady Gaga-ish big bow. You can find your own favourite (if you haven't already) as the store moves across town to Ledbury Road this Thursday 23rd November. And guess what? You even get to walk away with a little photo souvenir. Heart warming winter stuff - thank you Hermés.

"The White House is covering up the murders of Americans in Benghazi. American special ops people are fighting for the truth." -Wild Bill
Blood on the White House
http://www.facebook.com/hiram.holiday Hiram Holiday
So poisonous was the reign of Obama that nature turned on itself, and people turned on each other. The land died, and with it… hope.
Paraphrase from "Snow White and the Huntsman".
The Coward of Benghazi has stolen the spirit of this country.
We have the Constitution, but criminals don't follow the law.
With Obama the Issue is not the Issue. The Issue is the Revolution.
Folks we are in a real Revolution with Obama and his minions,
This country and all it stands for is on the edge of falling off the cliff.
The USA fighting Obama's Left wing Revolutionaries
Read: "Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution the Alinskey Model "
By David Horowitz
Its time for a good old fashion proper treason hanging….
http://www.facebook.com/dennis.pollard.16 Dennis Pollard
Amen to that.
So who are these guys at Boston marathon that were willing to participate in the crimes there? Military sellouts that have become mercenaries for hire.
First ,Thank you Wild Bill for posting your videos. And how deep this will go is anyones guess, but I agree with WB, The poser administration has picked a fight with the wrong bunch!! The Special ops troops know how to follow a trail and track information, not the kind of people you want to crap on or try to decieve. God bless'em and support them!!
The BEST 2 minutes always on YouTube or Conservative Videos (actually a little over three this time!) because Wild Bill speaks more truth in one minute than the MSM or Obama Administration in . . . well, okay, I'm limited in time. Let's just say eternity. If ever even then . . .
I have a 21 year old son. I'm doing everything I can to discourage him from joining the military while these people are in power. I consider myself a patriotic American. Under different circumstances I would be proud to have my only son fighting for our country. But I will not sacrifice my only son in service under such criminal and dishonorable political leadership. Maybe there should be a Benghazi style attack at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
I can't say I disagree with you. If I had a family member old enough to join, I, too, would try to discourage him or her not to join until these current idiots in charge, are gone. They apparently have no regard for the military, and their reason for not sending help to those in Benghazi should be a matter for impeachment or criminal charges. What a disgusting display of cowardice and simply a matter of not having a patriotic bone in their bodies.
I'm with you…I have 2…But I have discussed with them how this adminstration is not for our military and is doing all they can to leavethem stranded with no weapons, no means to protect themselves not to mention their christian rights are not allowed in this military as well as their pay, schooling, perks (so to speak) are at risk..it is not worth standing in for THIS administration…they, thankfully are in agreement with me…they are needed HERE not elsewhere..
http://twitter.com/heididavenport heididav
want a semi automatic weapon, because I can thats why FREEDOMS!
Sir, you are in the fore of the effort to awaken a sleeping giant in those Americans who will bring firstname.lastname@example.com to the battles that lay ahead. Please go to http://www.couragetolaugh.com for my book I'd Much Rather Laugh! How You Can Save America from Ridicule and Ruin because this is No laughing matter. Quite the contrary. Picture a Hillary Clinton as your next president. Impossible, well she waltzed into NY State and did this east coast state and did many, if not most of us wrong. Can't happen on the national level. Think again people, recall your history these fifty years. Keep up the tempo Sir. I'll do what part I am able as well.
Wow, somebody in the patriot movements that actually has confidence in our moms, dads, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters in the armed forces to remain with the people. I do not believe when our government is discovered at being in a state of war with the people, that it is the police or the soldiers that need shooting…but the ones that place our people as a buffer to the wrath of the people against tyranny should be the ones to be shot when such an event, similar to that at the begining of what is called our "revolution" that made us seperate from Great Britain, occurs. Remember that the mentor of our founders, John Locke, the one giving Jefferson whole cloth his philosophy found on the Declaration docutment, says that the people are NOT in rebellion when by force they try to return their government back to the origianl protections found in their constitutions, but the government that tries to use the force of the community to tyrannize the people.
I think that charges should be filed against old lady Clinton and then make her defend hersekf in open court. There is enough evidence to put up a credible prosecution and that would force her to either put up a better defence and maybe even tell the truth or spend time in Federal Prison after being convicted of whatever charges were brought against her. I believe that the truth will also involve Ovomit which would criminalize him and he could be thrown out of office. Dumbo Biden is , without doubt, involved as well and could go down on the same ship.
O.k., everyone…lots of talk, now what do we DO? Do we wait until this illegitimate administration controls our beloved country COMPLETELY, as they've planned to do? They've already done many things to our freedoms that we should never have accepted and our representatives should have never allowed. Do we wait until we become another Socialist/Marxist?Communist cess-pool? They slope is rapidly becoming steeper and slipperier.

Ever since Oscar was old enough to kick a ball across a dusty sports field in Port-au-Prince, his dream has been to play professional soccer—and also follow in the technological and philanthropic footsteps of his idol, Bill Gates. Those aspirations were very much alive for Oscar, now 23, in the moments just before the January 2010 earthquake tore through the walls of his three-story high school, killing all but two of his classmates. Oscar escaped with his life, but he lost 250,000 of his Haitian brothers and sisters—and his right leg—to one of this century's worst natural disasters.

The problem is the "maincontent" area is dropping to the level of the bottom of the "sidebar" instead of alongside it.

Stunning views! Memorable honeymoon
We loved staying at the cottage, which was the perfect oasis after each day of exploring the surrounding towns. My husband and I were on our honeymoon and were welcomed by Yvonne and Helmo's hospitality. This couple is so kind and caring. After a long trip from the states, they made our arrival easy in helping to set up our rental vehicle at the airport. I had a spider bite that was a bit of a concern and Yvonne set up a a Doctors appointment for me right away. These are just 2 examples of how much they go above and beyond what is expected. We had such a relaxing time waking up and falling asleep to the waves. Their cute dogs also greeted us each morning which we loved since we are dog lover's ourselves. The owners are very polite though and really adjust to whatever you need and asked if we liked dogs or not. This place has the most amazing views in an ideal location to Simon's Town, Kalk Bay, and a 30 minute drive to Cape Town. This is a great place to stay where you can really unwind and relax. We highly recommend!
Fantastic, central gem in Cape Town
( I want to give this place 5 stars but the website won't allow it!?) Stayed here for two weeks in January 2014, with partner although I think this is a great place for a small family as well. The location if superb e.g. with restaurants just around the corner, the city center and V&A Waterfront within walking distance. There is also a supermarket approximately 5 minutes walk away (Cape Quarter Shopping Mall) if you want to cook at the premises. The layout and design of the property is brand new and done up to a very high standard. The views are glorious. Outside is a lovely jacuzzi so we spent s few evenings in this with some bubbly watching the sunset. The property is well maintained e.g. fresh towels & cleaning service daily. The property is situated in a very quiet street yet is still so close to the hustle and bustle of the city. For what you get, the price is a steal, we will definitely stay here again - it was lovely thank you. Jennifer, London
Home away from home
My husband and I spent a week in Lime Cottage during the very chilly August of this year. We were very cozy with the fireplace burning which warmed the whole cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed cooking up a storm on and in the enormous gas stove/oven and didn't want for any cooking equipment, crockery or cutlery - all these items are supplied and are stylish, practical and spotless. There is a washing machine and dryer in the kitchen too which both take large loads and are quietly efficient. The owner, Athol's style comes through in the comfortable and refined furnishings and also in the unique, beautiful art pieces dotted around the cottage. I had to drag myself out of the memory foam pillow top, king size, extra-length bed in the mornings - sheer luxury! The en-suite bathroom we used off the main bedroom is stylish and chic with a gigantic shower rose in the shower and enough room for about 4 people to comfortably shower at once :-) If I must say something negative, the shower being blocked on the first night (although quickly rectified by Athol's efficient, friendly and handsome handyman), put a damper on an otherwise faultless week in Lime Cottage.
