Warren Buffett Joins a Roundtable Hosted by Matt Lauer
Posted by: CanadianValue (IP Logged)
Date: January 2, 2013 03:32PM
Are you ready for some optimism? Everyone at this roundtable thinks it is a great time to be American.
I'd rather just here from Warren than anyone else at the table, but to be honest hearing some optimism is a refreshing change from the fear the financial networks generally try and sell:

Obituary Add details
The Frankum family were traveling on the Lusitania as 3rd class passengers. They were having tea and preparing their luggage when the torpedo struck. Joseph Frankum managed to put his wife, his two sons and baby Winifred in a lifeboat. But the family got off the lifeboat and stood on deck to prepare what was happening. The Ship tilted and the stern rose, and Joseph and his family were washed in the ocean and separated. Joseph survived in a collapsible lifeboat. His oldest son Francis survived. His wife Annie, and his son 4 year old Frederick and baby Winifred were lost. Winifred was 10 months old when she died in the Lusitania sinking. Her body was never recovered.

Manchester United's regional mobile partner VIVA Bahrain has launched the second season of its successful partnership with Manchester United Soccer Schools (MUSS).
The popular projects gives Bahrain's young footballers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fulfil their sporting dreams, as it searches for 18 young footballers to train in the United Kingdom at one of the best training camps in the world.
The 18 youngsters on the VIVA MUSS 2012 programme will not only have the opportunity to be coached by world-class, UEFA-certified coaches, but will also get the full unique Manchester United experience by travelling to the UK to study at Myerscough College. Thirty other footballers from the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait will also take part in the regional initiative by the STC Group.
The competition is open to both male and female football enthusiasts aged between 12 and 15. All contestants must be residents of Bahrain and can secure a spot in the auditions at the VIVA Manchester United Zone in Bahrain City Centre from May 9-20.
Participants will receive a registration brochure, which will include a form to fill in their basic information, football position and parents' consent. Updates on their designated audition slot will be sent to the eligible footballers in June 2012 via a text message on their VIVA line.
Ex-Reds winger Lee Sharpe said at the launch press conference: "I am delighted to be in Bahrain and looking forward to seeing the talent that is developed at the Manchester United Soccer School.
"I am also happy to be part of a programme that is focused on developing local talent. I believe Bahrain has much to offer and I'm excited to see the young footballers step up to the plate."

Back in 1984, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued a regulation requiring that truck wheels be stripped of rust and debris before mounting a tire. Easier said than done, the industry moaned at the time. Labor was less costly then, but wire brushes and elbow grease weren't going to cut it.

Why Apple had to craft a pocket-busting 5.5in Plus-sized iPhone 6 (thank LG, Samsung etc)
Re: But when will Apple Pay be coming to Blighty?
Errr .... you don't need a Oyster Card App, I can already use my phone with NFC enabled S4 to pay for buses in the same way and for the same cost as an Oyster card and within the next few weeks I will be able to use it on the underground.

Dear-ly beloved: Apple's costly iPad Mini with Retina Display
The biggest flaw I can see with the iPad mini is that it is the wrong shape.
The beauty of a small tablet is that it can fit in a suit or jacket pocket ..... the iPad fails in this respect.
Also makes it poor for watching movies.

NFC Payments ..... if only
I have had phones that support NFC for the past 2 years but I have not yet found a way to use them to make NFC payments.
There are so few phones and apps that will currently support NFC and and this will probably continue until the big corporations stop squabbling about who is going to make the money from them.
I already use my Visa card to bonk at Tesco and McDs but will use NFC from my phone as soon as I can get it set up.
Apple confirms 128GB iPad. A hundred bucks for an extra 64GB
Re: Otherwise the specs for the 9.7-inch tablet and its Retina screen remain the same
Yep, any 64GB Samsung Tablet that has a card slot can take the 64GB micro SD card.
Apple shares dive after quarterly report disappoints Wall Street
Re: The Downside Of Being Fashionable ....
So why the 33% drop in the share price ... the analysts don't see a rosy future for the products.
The Downside Of Being Fashionable ....

I have had NFC capability on my phone for almost 2 years now yet I still can't find anyone that can provide me with a service that allows me to use it :(
Ten... Apple iPad Mini alternatives
Galaxy Tab 7.7
Should have been on the list. Not cheap but by far the best small tablet available.
Sky squeezes even more money from customers, gets fewer new ones
Would Be Interesting ....
... to see the numbers that have left Sky as a result of the Android / Sky Go support fiasco and the appalling customer support on their forums.

Has There Ever Been An Apple Product ...
.. in recent years that hasn't had such a warning. Easy way for Apple to get free advertising.
I am surprised at The Register Falling for this time after time.
Apple's iPad Mini mishap: scratching out the retina screen
Re: I agree, the lack of a retina screen is crazy...
To have put a retina display on the iPad Mini they would have to have made it at least half an inch thick to house the battery .... and it would have got very hot.
Battery technology will need to improve before they can up the resolution on this device.

Topic: Gull Identification
November is the perfect time to brush up on your gull identification skills. Many birders approach gull identification with apprehension because they are "too hard" or "all look alike" and those different ages are confusing. Whether experienced or not, don't miss Amar Ayash's presentation where he'll review with us some of the key ID points of our expected winter gulls. Some of the species we'll focus on include Herring, Thayer's, Iceland and the black-backed gulls. Amar will also speak about our hooded gulls, and share with us some gull-watching tips. This will help prepare you for winter gull identification and the Gull Frolic in 2015.
Amar spends most of his time in the field watching and photographing gulls. He maintains "anythinglarus.com", a website devoted to gulls and gull-watching. He's published several recent articles in Birding magazine, and hosts the facebook group "North American Gulls". Ayyash serves on the Board of Directors of the Illinois Ornithological Society, and also coordinates the annual Gull Frolic here in Illinois.

Mississippi River Trip Report - Febuary 16, 2014
Urs Geiser led a group of eight birders on his annual Mississippi River Eagle field trip. We squeezed everyone into 2 vehicles and headed west on I-88. Along the way we saw several Red-tailed Hawks and 3 Rough-legged Hawks during the 2+ hour drive. We arrived at Lock & Dam 13 to find very little open water and few birds. Only 20 some Bald Eagles were present. Upon hearing that an American White Pelican was present but not visible as it stuck close to the lock wall, one goofball walked on the water (frozen) to confirm its presence.
We went south from there checking feeders and areas of open water. We did well at the feeders finding the main target species, Eurasian Tree Sparrow, at feeders on River Road in Rock Island County. Other good feeder birds were Red-headed Woodpecker, Tufted Titmouse, and Red-breasted Nuthatch. A group of 12 Wild Turkeys were found crossing the road as we continued to car-bird our way south. We would find a few more Bald Eagles here and there as well as Common Mergansers and Common Goldeneye. [more….]

New study uses eBird data to define migration flyways for terrestrial birds
In one of the greatest feats of endurance in the biological world, millions of tiny songbirds—many weighing less than an ounce—migrate thousands of miles to Central and South America each year. Now scientists are finding out how these featherweights do it: using elliptical routes that take advantage of prevailing wind patterns to save calories. "Most of what we've known about migration routes comes from ducks and geese," said Frank La Sorte, a Cornell Lab of Ornithology research associate and lead author of a [more…]
Just when we all got those warblers and their songs comfortably into our heads again, it's time to refresh our knowledge of their autumn plumages. Many of Illinois' avian breeders are finishing off the season; for some second broods are on the way. In the woods and prairies, fledglings are working on making it on their own. Shorebirds already have begun their southward journeys. Hawk watchers are setting up to skan the skies. All of us are gearing up for the fall migration.
Yesterday I visited Mayslake to get in some quick birding before predicted heavy rains hit. Evident in the parking lots, across the sprawling lawn of the Peabody estate, along the shores of both lakes and in the prairie and wetlands were familiar birds of summer. Chimney swifts lanced through the skies above the mansion. American goldfinches popped out from around every corner (or perhaps I should say from under every leaf). Bluejays made a ruckus, one even doing the old squeaky water pump routine as I made my way eastward along Trinity Lake. Surprised by my approach, a small shorebird silently lifted off from the shoreline of Mays' Lake. Curious black-capped chickadees hopped out upon the branches of fully leafed-out trees to watch my passage. Here and there an American robin whinnied from beneath thick brush. A descending cadence spilled out from overhead, revealing a downy woodpecker hidden foraging among the leaves above. Near the trail a brilliant red cardinal appeared, obviously molting its head feathers. A short trip, hot and muggy, it was nevertheless great to be out with all of them.
I hope you all can get out for some birding soon. Some great options are available. Join DBC's field trips as we traverse through multiple habitats and the seasonal change from summer to autumn. Bring your camera along and pen a few paragraphs; send a trip report along to Jim Green for possible inclusion on the website. Participate in the Greene Valley Hawk Watch (begins September 1) and don't forget Cornell's annual Project Feeder Watch (begins 2nd Saturday in November). Please remember to keep informed on conservation issues and act in the best interest of the birds!
See you on the trails,

Will County Big Day Trip! May, 2014
Joan Norek was the winning bidder at the DBC Auction for the Will County Big Day field trip. We scheduled the trip for May 17th and prepared by monitoring eBird reports as well as personal scouting trips. We planned to meet at 3:30 a.m. which would put us at our first stop well before sunrise. The plan was to start in the far southern parts of the county and finish the day back north. On our way to our first stop near Braidwood a very light raptor flew across our path just above the headlights, which may have been a Barn Owl. We were unable to relocate the bird so it went uncounted. Our first stop was to listen for Whip-poor-will. A very distant Whip was calling when we got out of the car. We walked down the road further and were able to hear a much closer bird call for several minutes. A Woodcock or two were also peenting and displaying in the area. Before we left the area, a Wild Turkey gave a couple of gobbles which saved us a trip to look for them later. We next headed for Kankakee River S.P. To look for warblers. Kentucky, Prothonatary, and Yellow-throated Warblers can often be found in the Will Co. areas of the park. We were able to find Kentucky but missed the other 2. Several other more common warblers were added as were the hard to find Pileated Woodpecker. Nearby back roads got us a Lincoln's Sparrow and a Eurasian Collared Dove. [more….]
Understanding birds & weather: Fall birding basics
American Redstarts are common fall migrants across much of the East, and are often found in big numbers on good migration days.
Fall migration is an exciting time for birds. With migrants on the move your local birding site can be transformed from the static to the dynamic overnight, with a suite of new species to identify, an abundance of individuals, and a feeling that anything is possible. We realize some of our best birding days center on being at the right place at the right time. For many birders this is mere happenstance; perhaps a long-planned weekend trip to Cape May results in a great encounter [more…]

Midewin Trip - July 5, 2014
We had some decent weather for a late afternoon walk at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie on the 5th of July and the birds cooperated as well. Thirteen birders started at the Iron Bridge Trailhead and hiked east. Several House Wrens chattered away as we walked through the wood lot next to the parking lot. Entering the grasslands we stopped to look at Dickcissels and Indigo Buntings before proceeding after our target species. We went east on the southern leg of the Group 63 trail where several Grasshopper Sparrows and Eastern Meadowlarks were calling. We eventually got decent looks at the former as well as Bobolink. A Blue Grosbeak could be heard up ahead but before we could walk toward it another popped up on the fence nearby. A couple pairs of Northern Mockingbirds flew back and forth across the trail as we headed for the "Shrike" spot. Scanning the fences we saw a Loggerhead Shrike perched in the distance. It stayed long enough for a couple of us to get scope views. We moved on to get better looks. Reaching the corner of the fence line we could now see 3 Loggerhead Shrikes on the fence. This time everyone got good looks. We pushed forward to see if we could locate the other shrike family a quarter mile up the road. We found one adult bird and turned back to our cars.
We next drove to the Explosives Road Trailhead. Here we looked for Henslow's Sparrow and Bell's Vireo. Henslow's Sparrows were heard but not seen. Light rain moved in so we cut our walk short and called it a day.

A Visit To the National Aviary
Although I have managed to work in some birding on nearly every trip I have taken, I have never taken a trip for the expressed purpose of birding. Like many of you, birding has to take place in the cracks and crevices of my family and professional life. I was delighted, therefore, when on an August visit to some friends in Pittsburgh, they suggested we visit the National Aviary.
Some history: Even though the U.S. Congress honored the aviary in 1993 by allowing it to call itself the "national" aviary, the aviary is not connected with the federal government. Located in a park on the city's north side, the aviary was built by the city of Pittsburgh in 1952, but because the city was losing its tax base, the aviary's public funding ended in 1991. At that time, volunteers and community leaders developed a business plan and raised money that allowed the aviary to continue operations. Since then, various capital campaigns and donations have allowed the aviary to continue, as well as to expand its educational and conservation programs. Today it is the largest indoor nonprofit aviary in the United States, whose collection of 500 birds representing 150 species exceeds even the National Zoo's collection in Washington, D.C.
Except for some holidays, the aviary is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. There is an admission of $14 to $25 adults (depending on how many shows are seen), and seniors receive a slight discount. There are visitor centers at each entrance, one with the obligatory gift shop. The indoor exhibits are mostly open flight [more….]

Greene Valley Hawk Watching Field Trip Report
Even though this was ʻpart one' of our Hawk Watch series of field trips, it should have been called ʻpart three' as temperatures were more typical of November than
September. Still we had a good turnout of 15+ participants. After a brief orientation on how the hawkwatch operates we settled down to watch for migrants. The first hour was somewhat slow with only 3 migrating raptors, 1 Osprey, 1 Cooper's Hawk and 1 RedtailedHawk. Local non-migrants kept viewers busy as they hunted and chased each other around the hill. Things picked up a bit after noon as we added 3 immature Bald Eagles and a Turkey Vulture to the trip list in the next 2 hours. Those that stuck it out to the end were rewarded with great views of a Peregrine Falcon circling over the east end of the hill. Raptors weren't the only birds seen on the hill. We saw a total of 10 Sandhill Cranes and several flocks of Double-crested Cormorants heading south. Chimney Swifts and Barn Swallows were always present and at least 4 Hummingbirds zipped past heading north into the wind. Those of us who were up on the hill early witnessed a hill first when 2 large, dark, wading type birds flew north, directly over us. We were stumped for a minute or so as to their identification but soon narrowed it down to Glossy or Whitefaced Ibis. We also saw a Black-bellied Plover and a flock of 50 or more American White Pelicans all before the hill opens to the public. The full eBird report for the day can be found at :http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S19822078 . All of our Hawkwatch data can be viewed by visiting www.hawkcount.org . Part 2 of our hawkwatch series will be in October when there is a chance to see Golden Eagles, Red-shouldered Hawks, and other later migrants. You are always welcome to join us on Saturday and Sunday mornings through October. The hill is open to the public from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. [more….]
Pratt's Wayne Woods FP - October 18, 2014
Yesterday, I substituted for Kyle Wiktor on the DuPage Birding Club field trip at Pratt's Wayne Woods Forest Preserve. We had two good birders participate with me. Tom Lebryk participated with his pocket electronics and his new large telescope. Bryan Pugh is a new DBC member and wanted to check out the preserve. He has birding experience and great ability to spot the birds. I also brought our spotting scope, which we used for part of the birding.
We went to four locations at Pratt's Wayne Woods: Harrier Lake, Yellow Barn, Eastside "Dog Park", and the main area on the west side of Powis with all of the trails. The "Dog Park" location entailed a walk some distance into the fields and bogs on the east side of Powis Road. The west side was full of people on this opening day of fishing (all parking spots taken), but they were not at our birding locations. At the end of our time we made a short visit to James "Pate" Philip (formerly Tri-County) State Park, which offered no new species.
The three of us worked the preserve for about 5 hours, both to get birds (checklist) and to acquaint Bryan with the site. We were able to log 32 species. I have attached a PDF copy of the eBird tally that I filed via the Club's eBird account. We pretty much saw the birds that were typical of this time of the year. Some of the nice birds included a Ruby-crowned Kinglet showing his ruby crown and the continued presence of Yellow-Rumped Warblers. I regret that we were not able to get the many waterfowl we had hoped to see on Harrier Lake. Secondly, we could not find the Wood Ducks that Jean and I saw in our scouting visit on Thursday, Oct 16th.
Cantigny - October 11, 2014
Today's Cantigny Park walk, co-sponsored by the DuPage Birding Club, was attended by 36 birders. Forty-seven species were seen or heard.
Highlights today included Winter Wren, Brown Creeper, Eastern Towhee, Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker, Hermit Thrush, Broad-Winged Hawk, Wood Duck and both kinglet species. We also saw our first juncos of the fall. Cedar Waxwing, Ruby-Crowned Kinglet and robin were abundant today. For the second straight month we did not see a single Mourning Dove! For more information on the Cantigny Bird Walks and the Cantigny All-Time Bird List, select here
Here's the complete list of today's birds:
1. Pied-Billed Grebe (golf course)
2. Canada Goose
3. Wood Duck [more….]
Mississippi River Waterfowl Report - March 22, 2014
Jeff Chapman led a group of nine on his annual Mississippi River Trip looking for waterfowl and other regional specialties. We started the trip further south this year due to frozen conditions upriver. Lock & Dam 14 was the first stop. Eleven duck species were recorded here including Greater Scaup and a lone Red-breasted Merganser (two species which aren't always found). Good numbers of American White Pelicans and Bald Eagles were found here as well. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S17601336.
We worked north along the river with a brief stop in Cordova where the normally reliable overlook waspretty much devoid of ducks. A few feeder birds were recorded. We checked along River Road north of town for more feeder birds with the main target being Eurasian Tree Sparrow. This was one case where being in the lead car did not work out as the back of the pack found an E Tree and 2 Eurasian Collared Doves. A couple of Red-headed Woodpeckers was the only other highlight. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S17601414. A roadside stop just south [more….]
Superb Owl Sunday VI Trip Report - Febuary 2, 2014
Cold, snowy weather did not deter a group of 18 birders from searching for owls on the sixth annual Superb Owl Sunday. We chose to stay local this year and met at Whalon Lake Forest Preserve at noon. We started with a hike through the pines at WL. We found a couple of Brown Creepers working their way up the tree trunks in search of food. Several Downy Woodpeckers and a few White-breasted Nuthatches were also present. Along the woods edge several White-throated Sparrows foraged in the shrubs. But no owls were found.
We then car-pooled to southwestern Bolingbrook where we immediately located one of the Snowy Owls which have been present for several weeks. Several scopes were set up and everyone got good looks at the bird. We got a bonus when a helicopter flew nearby. The Snowy took flight and travelled several hundred yards before settling back down in the field.
Our final stop was Hidden Lakes Nature Center in Bolingbrook. The feeders had plenty of activity with a number of Tree Sparrows, Juncos, [more….]

Best Abandoned Building
Published: July 30, 2014
Old power station/historic Ivanhoe building
1111 N. Orange Ave.; ouc.com
Orlando Ballet recently fled this gorgeous historic building when they cried "mold!" and were turned out onto the curb. Once an OUC power plant, the former Dr. Phillips Center for Performing Arts is now nothing but an empty shell, with the newly renovated "Happy New Year/Happy Holidays" sign (paid for by donations from the Ivanhoe Village Main Street District) resting atop it like a crown on a tired old beauty queen. The Ivanhoe Foundation that was charged with the upkeep of the building will most likely disband and leave their money to the Ballet, but nobody is talking about why this local landmark has been left jilted and alone for so long.

Leader fortifying RFHS for change
Although still referred to as "Coach," Derrick Dace officially has a new title–Principal. During his sixteen-year career in the field of education (nine of which were spent in Tunica County), he has coached girls' basketball, varsity football and taught high school math. Dace believes his previous positions have given him experience in team building and leadership that will serve him well in his role as principal.
Dace's educational philosophy centers on the idea that all children are capable of learning, and that it is the duty of teachers and administrators to see that each individual succeeds. He also acknowledges that it is the responsibility of the school to equip students with the skills necessary to become viable prospects in today's job market.
There are, admittedly, challenges to fulfilling his vision of how this philosophy is implemented. The biggest obstacle he would like to address during his tenure is the issue of trust between the school and the community.

Reflecting on Scholarly Approaches
10th Annual Learning Conference
May 7 & 8, 2014
Kelowna, BC Canada
UBC's Okanagan campus, 10th Annual Learning Conference theme, Reflecting on Scholarly Approaches, invites educators to share best practices and disseminate their research in sessions that will explore student learning, flexible learning environments, and scholarly approaches to teaching and learning in general. The Keynote Speaker for this year is Dr. Marsha Lovett, Professor of Cognitive Psychology, Director of the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence at Carnegie Mellon University and author of How Learning Works: Seven Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching.
Educators are invited to share their expertise and experiences in advancing student learning through evidence-based practice. The conference intends to explore questions such as how can research inform my teaching and hence enhance the student learning experience; how do students learn best; what does the research say about approaches to teaching and learning that are most effective? How can we approach teaching and learning within large classes? How can we integrate undergraduate research into our teaching? What best practices retain first year students? What is being done in classrooms to address sustainability? 21st century skill development?
All interested individuals or groups are invited to submit proposals for 50 minute sessions. Each session is expected to have an interactive component. Formats may include discussions, roundtables, and presentations.
Cost to faculty and registrants from external institutions is $100.
The 10th annual learning conference is in one of the world's great wine regions, in the heart of Canada's Okanagan Valley. We will be hosting an optional Wine Tasting event on May 7th, 4:10pm - 5:30pm to which you are invited to attend. Please note there are only 20 spots available so please advise us when you register if you are interested in attending. As well, the Annual Spring Okanagan Wine Festival will occur during the conference, May 1-11, 2014. A sparkling blue lake, sprawling vineyards and orchards, remarkable championship golf courses and wide open spaces give the region its warm, rural character. British Columbia's world-renowned natural beauty provides stunning scenic vistas that wrap around the cosmopolitan city of Kelowna and the University of British Columbia's beautiful Okanagan campus, where the conference is held. Abundant recreational, cultural and dining experiences combined with majestic mountains, refreshing waters and lush orchards have made the Okanagan Valley one of Canada's most beloved vacation destinations.

The best #BooRadleyVanCullen tweets from last night's "Pretty Little Liars"
On any other show, seeing Paige and Emily act so deeply, desperately in love with each other would be the all-time highlight, but leave it to Pretty Little Liars to one-up even that magic with a talking parrot that eats grilled parrot, a french fry map of the most recent place the Liars almost burned to death, and Ali revealing actual superpowers.

Westboro Baptist Church, Shirley Phelps-Roper: Besieged By Anonymous Trolls!by Free Britney at . Comments
Westboro Baptist Church and specifically spokeswoman Shirley Phelps-Roper have been besieged by trolls from the notorious hacktivist group Anonymous.
After WBC reprehensibly announced plans to picket a vigil for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Anonymous retaliated hardcore.
Shirley Phelps-Roper so far is bearing the brunt of the group's efforts.
In a video posted to Vimeo by Anonymous, the group vowed payback:
"We will not allow you to corrupt the minds of America with your seeds of hatred. We will not allow you to inspire aggression to the social factions which you deem inferior."
"We will render you obsolete. We will destroy you. We are coming."
Phelps-Roper, a relative of WBC founder Fred Phelps, announced the group's plan "to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment."
Anonymous, like the rest of the civilized world, was disgusted.
By Monday, Phelps-Roper's handle @DearShirley was taken over by hacker @cosmothegod, who Tweeted a petition calling for the White House to recognize WBC as a hate group.
Anonymous also claims to have successfully filed for a death certificate for Phelps-Roper, blocked her social security number and changed her desktop background to gay porn.
Via its @YourAnonNews account, Anonomyous also claimed responsibility for the fact that Westboro Baptist Church's website was taken down.
After people from Anonymous hacked Westboro Baptist Church this weekend, they claimed to have found a trove of information about its members.
They haven't shown signs of letting up since.
So far, there has also been no news of Westboro carrying through on its threat to picket the funerals of Newtown shooting victims ... but watch out if they do.
The members of the Westboro Baptist Church do have a constitutional right to free speech, however even this right has limits; an example is that no one may yell 'FIRE!' in a crowded theater. There is another section of the Constitution: "Title 18, Part I, Chapter 115, § 2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States." aid and comfort to the enemy: Any act that deliberately strengthens or tends to strengthen enemies of the United States, or that weakens or tends to weaken the power of the United States to resist and attack such enemies is characterized as aid and comfort.
Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as "...[a]...citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]." Can anyone seriously argue that the statements and actions of this hate group do not seriously injure America, to say nothing of the grieving families of loved ones whose funeral is picketed by WBC?
Charge them with treason, convict them, and make an example of at least one by execution. Secondly, Libel and slander are both forms of defamation. Defamation is a common law tort (a civil wrong), governed by state law, in which an individual makes a "publication" of a defamatory statement of and concerning the plaintiff that damages the reputation of the plaintiff.
The distinction between slander and libel comes in the form of the publication. Slander involves the oral "publication" of a defamatory remark that is heard by another, which injures the subject's reputation or character.
Slander can occur through the use of a hand gesture or verbal communication that is not recorded.
Libel, on the other hand, is the written "publication" of a defamatory remark that has the tendency to injure another's reputation or character. Libel also includes a publication on radio, audio or video. Even though this would be considered oral, or verbal, communication to someone it is actually considered to be libel because it is published in a transfixed form. Seems to me that they, individually or collectively, could be sued for libel.
stupid comment--pooper?! what a disgrace to gay sex...u f'en idiot--u take the time ti sign up and post this shit?! lozer! repentage thx loveugodbless tj kabbalah matthewshepard madonnalicious
@Jax Ignorance doesn't protect you, my friend. It is obvious from your statements that you have never even researched Christianity. And don't take your information from WBC. Just because someone claims to be Christian doesn't make it true. Any more that me claiming to be a millionaire makes it true. You have the choice to reject God....but do it out of information, not out of ignorance. Read, research, and make your own decision. Blessings, my friend. Whatever your decision, I wish you well.
When those hackers are caught, they should be hung upside down and beaten without mercy
get a life lozer.....violence and anonymous! afraid to show yourself a hole repentage thx loveugodbless tj kabbalah matthewshepard madonnalicious
Wow. You're as evil as Shirley and Fred. Please go join the WBC. Hopefully you'll die too when they're bombed.
I hope Anonymous put security blocks on so Shirley couldn't get the gay porn off her desktop, lol.
Thank you Anonymous
Pres Obama's maternal grandmother's relatives and some elders are persons of interest in murder of his real dad and in a racial aattack on his parents on the banks of the Kansas River where he was born at Forbes air force base haspital, Topeka KS. Its part of the circumstances that led to the fake bio of the presiident by Fall of 1963. Justice long delayed over three dead. See my websites blogger, twitter and facebook for eye wintess details starts 7./26/12 and Daily Recaps since. Linda Joy Adams
Why don't you just shove the bullshite up your ignorant racist arse....right next to your head.
'God sent the shooter'?? No, God didn't send anyone. God gives us free will. Those people are very dangerous. They are nothing less than a cult. I wish they would go ahead and drink the Kool-aid and be done with it! The world needs to be rid of WBC!! I'm Baptist, I don't see any part of their religion being Baptist. They are evil people doing the Devil's work. The victims should be allowed to rest in peace yet the survivors are met with hostility from these cretins. Sad.
We are often told that god wants us to have free will. That's why he "let's us" sin. Let's examine that claim. It's easy to have free will without choices that send us to hell. For example, think of the building you are in right now. You have lots of options... you can kick it, look at it, smell it, pee on it... etc. You can't eat it, leap over it, make it disappear, etc - those options have been removed from possibility. But, you still have choices... you have free will. So, in life, we can help each other, love one another, work, play, swim, hike, pee on things, have gay sex, etc.... WAIT... Have gay sex? Why would god give us this option and then make it a path to hell? He could have made gay sex impossible to want and therefore remove one doorway to hell without removing free will from the equation. If that "sin" didn't exist, we'd never even notice. Seems like god opens more doors to hell than he closes. What a dick! Free will is still possible even if god took away all paths to hell accept one... rejecting him. He could even make non-belief impossible. He could make it soooo obvious he exists that NO ONE could deny it... and we'd still have the free will and choice to reject him (as I would do). If god told you to kill your child, and you said, "Fuck you", then you already choose morality over faith in god. You have free will. And I freely choose not to believe in any unproven deity, any god that is less moral than me, or and superstitions that hurt people. I choose to be the best human I can be, do as much good with as little suffering as possible while I'm alive. What do you choose?
Jax......your post was beautifully put. I feel the same way.
Spoiler alert: There is no god.
it happens in america............

Southern California Bight
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Southern California Bight is the curved coastline of Southern California from Point Conception to San Diego. The area includes the Channel Islands and part of the Pacific Ocean.[1]
This area was the traditional homeland of the Chumash and the Gabrieliño tribes.

Book Description:
Research on metal clusters (compounds with metal-metal bonds) has undergone explosive growth and the subject is now perhaps one of the ``hottest'' topics in organometallic chemistry. The prospect of catalytic applications has motivated a large part of the research mentioned in this book - the long term goal being to exploit the unique properties of metal clusters to prepare catalysts with new activities and selectivities. This is the first book to address the role of metal clusters in catalysis. The coverage is up-to-date and is particularly comprehensive, ranging from molecular chemistry of clusters (synthesis, structure, thermochemistry, reactivity, and homogeneous catalysis) to supported clusters (molecular analogues on polymers, and metal oxides and metals in zeolite cages). Preparation by methods of organometallic surface chemistry and metal atom chemistry and characterization of surface structures by physical methods are highlighted. Concepts unifying metal cluster chemistry and the chemistry of metal surfaces are elucidated. Of particular value to the user will be the cluster and subject indexes. The cluster index is organized in alphabetical order according to the metal.

Why NAC alone is not enough
The development of Network Admission Control (NAC) products, which check that hosts connecting to a network meet the requirements needed to join that network, has blurred the boundaries of endpoint security. Whether it is the original iteration from Cisco, Microsofts NAP, or the Trusted Computing Groups TNC, NAC is becoming an increasingly popular solution to stop infected machines from entering a secure network.

The legs on the chairs are so dark they are almost black and I didn't realize that when I purchased them. They don't match our table but I decided it wasn't worth it to return them. The chairs feel sturdy until you lean back a little and the back of the chair moves a couple of inches. The color leather is really more of a pure white, rather then a "winter white" so be aware of that in case you have other white furniture. Overall we are really happy with them and get compliments on them all the time. For the price you can't beat it! We have had them for 4 months and they are still very clean and look amazing.
These chairs are a great deal, and this is the only place I was able to find them with the cherry (mid-level darkness) legs. The other versions are available on the same site, but are more espresso, which wouldn't have matched my table. Love them, very easy to clean as well and feel very comfortable.
I purchased those chairs based ont he look and the good reviews. I received those chairs last week . Let me tell you they were to very easy to put togehter . first of all the screws were not allinged properly so I had to re drill the holes, second the stiching on the bottom of the chairs are very cheap looking and just put together with wood staples. they look great with my modern table if you do not turn it upside down Lol. I wish they had put the same attention to detail everywere around those chairs.
One chair of the four is not level and also has a seam that was not properly completed. Being a "handy" person I was able to correct these minor issues which satisfies me and eliminates the need for returning the item. All in all its a good buy and goes well with my dining table.
Wanted to give my classic dining room set an updated look. I bought 4 chairs, then 4 more!. They have a modern look and are very comfortable. I would recommend that you buy all chairs at once. I had to wait until they were back in stock before I could buy the second set. Competitors are selling them at a higher price too! WIsh they had ones with arms to match.
I bough 4 chairs and only used 2. But I am returning them because 2 days after having them one got a blue stain from a dress that I was wearing and the second one got a brown stain from touching the table. This is very weird since the same day I sat down on my white leather couch and there are no stains there, the materials of these chairs is weird.
I bought these chairs for my daughter to complete her dining room table. She has a glass table that she inherited from her grandmother and was having trouble finding the right chairs to compliment it. These chairs are perfect! They are not too formal but are also not too casual for use in a dining room. She reports they were fairly easy to put together and are sturdy and comfortable. She loves them! Thank you for making this purchase so easy and making my gift to her a hit!!!
Absolutely beautiful chairs! These chairs look spectacular with my round glass table and add a modern, crisp look to my dining room. They definitely look more expensive than they were from Overstock. The chairs are a little bigger than I imagined (standard Parson chair size), which was perfect for me. The chairs are sturdy and require about 20 minutes each to assemble (though the 4th chair took a lot less time than the 1st!). I had no trouble assembling myself - the screws just take a while to turn in. As other reviewers have commented, the craftmanship on the underside of the chairs isn't top-notch. However, the parts you see are gorgeous. The vinyl really does look very much like leather, and it is soft without feeling "plastic-y". Another great find from Overstock!

Seven policy advisory groups will meet during the month of June to review county Farm Bureau policy recommendations relevant to their areas of expertise. The groups will also determine if they have their own recommendations to submit.
"Each policy advisory group brings a level of knowledge about their issue that will boost the quality of our public policy discussions and decisions," said Bob White, IFB's retail agriculture business specialist.
While commodity-specific issues still play an important role in Farm Bureau policy making, many issues today affect farmers who have less in common when it comes to crops and more when it comes to farm types, regulations or resources. The advisory groups enhance issue discussion, policy development and policy implementation.
The rural development PAG will meet on June 24. The remaining six PAGs – government and fiscal policy, livestock and animal care, crops and farm policy, transportation, property rights and nutrient management – will meet on June 30.
The groups are a recent addition to IFB's policy process. Their topics came about from internal and external conversations with members and other stakeholders. Groups may be added or disbanded as priorities change. For more information, contact Bob White, email@example.com or 317-692-7823.

Description: The final installment of After Movie CumFest begins with Damian getting his cock sucked by Koa while Nathan slaps his ass and plays with his nipples. It seems like no matter what position these boys get in, Koa is always taking Damians cock in his mouth and Nathan is always going for Damians ass. These boys sure know what they like. After some heavy duty cock sucking and ass play Damian gets ready to shoot a hot load of cum and once again Koa is the eager recipient. Damian showers Koas face in hot boy cum and Koa takes it like a man. Or should I say a hot Asian boy that has no real choice...

With all dispatch,melodic epitomes are indeed inglotic even in today's nocturnal alternitives.On the contrast the sleevage grants inturnable pintameters of a much needed sludge.

Thank you, Internet: talking to dolphins and Taco Bell breakfasts
Happy Friday, y'all. When you get done wasting away the last few hours of work by planning your weekend, these five links should get you through the home stretch:
1. Soon, we may find out just how intelligent dolphins really are. Using the Cetacean Hearing and Telemetry (CHAT) device, scientists have successfully translated a dolphin's first word. Way more advanced than a human's simple "mama" or "dada," the first dolphin word the scientists successfully translated using CHAT was "sargassum."
2. Game of Thrones season 4 premieres on Friday on HBO. The celebrate, or, erm, mourn, Digg put together this video of every single death in the series. The final body count? 5179.
3. We're really lucky to live in Orlando, you guys. The weather is the envy of almost the entire rest of the country. The foodie scene is bangin'. And there are the sunsets. You just can't beat an Orlando sunset.
4. People are getting all kinds of het up over the new Taco Bell breakfast. You know who else loves it? Ronald McDonald. No, really. He does. Just watch the video.
5. Confused about who's rap beefing with who? Did Luda ever have beef with T.I.? Were Kanye and Jay-Z always friendly? This handy Hertzsprung-Russell diagram should set you straight!

SEVIER COUNTY, Tenn (WVLT) -- There are many senior citizens in our area who are forgotten around the holidays, either they don't have family close by or they don't have any relatives.
But you can be sure they get a little something, by being a Santa to a Senior.
There are 14 stores in Sevier, Hamblen, Sevier, Grainger, Cocke and Jefferson Counties that are participating.
Home Instead (a senior health program) put up trees with names and wish lists on them.
People pick an ornament with the name and wish list on it from a tree, make the purchase and return the unwrapped gifts with the name tag to the participating store.
The gift requests are simple things like blankets, toiletries and even non perishable food.
This is the fifth year and they plan on helping 300-400 seniors, with your help.
