The WRAP Live Field Use Footage
Live field footage of The WRAP being used in the arrest of a combative subject wanted for an attempted stabbing. The WRAP was quickly and easily applied, aiding in limiting escalation of force, and allowing officers to return the subject to a seated and upright position. Since 1994, The International Association of Chiefs of Police have recommended the upright seated position as the safest method to restrain an individual. The WRAP allows a detained individual to breathe without restriction.

After moving to the border state of Arizona, I learned quickly that it isn't prudent to drive a car into Mexico because the Federal Police like to pull over "American-looking" tourists and shake them down for cash (yes, Virgina, the Mexican national police force does profile).
The practice of Mexican police harassing traveling Americans for their cash is so prevalent, most insurance companies require a special rider on one's insurance policy before covering a car trip into Mexico.
I used to think that this abuse of traveling Americans was just a "Federal Police" problem and could never happen here. However, as I opened both of my eyes and saw the big picture, I realized that American law enforcement was doing the same thing and that the American officers were much more efficient at theft by cop than are the Mexicans. While a Mexican Federal Policeman might shakedown a tourist for $50 in cash, the American officials are more adept at stealing houses, businesses and large amounts of cash even when the cash is not connected to a crime.
What Is RICO?
The game in America is called theft by law enforcement and RICO is the name. Much of the growth of federal criminal procedures has been tied to the expanded use of RICO. RICO stands for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act of 1970. RICO has succeeded in blurring the lines between state and federal law enforcement and in overturning the protections inherent in the due-process guarantees of the U.S. Constitution, namely due process. The Fifth Amendment states that government cannot deprive citizens of life, liberty and property without due process of law. As the Patriot Act negates the Fourth Amendment protections, RICO does the same with the Fifth Amendment due process rights.
RICO is essentially the seizure of good and assets obtained as a result of ACCUSED criminal activity. At the inception of RICO in 1990, there were only three named federal criminal acts subject RICO confiscation of assets and they were treason, piracy, and counterfeiting. Now there are literally thousands of federal laws and regulations related to RICO. The mere violation of any one of them, no matter how unintentional and harmless the transgression, can lead to years of imprisonment for the convicted person and the forfeiture of all personal assets.
Here is where the police and federal law enforcement are no better than the criminals they purport to fight. Even when an individual is not charged or found innocent, their confiscated assets are still the property of the law enforcement agency. If a person is found not guilty in court, or the charges are dropped, the person can spend years trying to recover their assets. And sometimes, they never recover their stolen property.
Gangster Cops in Meridian MS.
During a July 9 traffic stop in Meridian, Mississippi, police found $360,000 tucked away in an obscure compartment of a man's car. Certainly the amount of money in question would get our collective attention, however, the driver was let go. And if the Meridian city government has a problem with large amounts of cash, then pass a law forbidding the carrying of cash over a certain amount. Until then, this man committed no crime.
The cops simply stole the man's money. The unidentified motorist may or may not get that cash back.
Under RICO all cops can seize your property, and it's up to you to prove that the money isn't connected to a crime. This is an obvious violation of the Fifth Amendment which requires the government to prove in court that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This application of RICO is unconstitutional on its face and it is still being allowed. Why? Because RICO money is being used by the law enforcement agencies to enrich their department as well as to host lavish department/agency parties. This is no different than what the Mafia or the Mexican Federal Police does.
Your Property Is Not Safe
For those who think that the Meridian, MS. motorist got what he deserved because nobody should be carrying that kind of cash on them, consider the Russell Caswell case which demonstrates that, under RICO statutes, one can lose everything even when they have never been suspected of a crime.
Motel owner Russell Caswell, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, has fought with government for three years over his right to keep his own motel. Caswell has never been charged with a crime, yet he faces the loss of his business. Caswell, having successfully managed to keep his property, is the victim of guilt by association. From 1994 to 2008, police have made 15 drug busts at his motel. That come to only one drug bust per year in a motel. This is a remarkably low number. However, it is not stopping law enforcement for trying to get their hands on the motel by stating that under RICO, the motel is considered to be part of a criminal enterprise.
One does not have to be the owner of a motel or carry large amounts of cash to be a victim of the law enforcement Mafia. If you give a ride to someone who has marijuana in their possession, you can lose your car. If your teenage daughter brings drugs into your house, you could lose your house. This is no more than criminal theft committed by criminal law enforcement agencies.

AUSTIN - A bill filed last week could add to the current Texas law defining sexual assault and assist prosecutors in charging sexual offenders with a felony when it comes to bodily fluids.
The case of Ennis Dr. Aniruddha Ashok Chitale's was the seed which this proposed bill grew, according to Ellis County Assistant District Attorney Patrick Wilson.
Wilson was instrumental in drafting most of the bill filed by Waxahachie state Representative Jim Pitts.
'The bill will make a whole new law for the State of Texas,' Wilson said.
'It could be a valuable tool against child molesters, among other things.'
Even when the state found Chitale's semen on one of his female patients, the state decided against taking the case to trial because the evidence did not meet the current definition of sexual assault.
'The bill was filed to address (this) recent case in Ennis,' stated Pitts in a recent news release.
'Any reasonable person would be horrified by the facts in this case and conclude that this should be prosecuted as sexual assault.'
'Unfortunately with the law as currently written, the district attorney would have had a great deal of difficulty making the case for that charge.'
Under the bill, if the assault was committed with the intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person, the penalty is a third-degree felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and the person must register as a sex offender.
If the assault was committed with intent to assault, harass or alarm the victim, the penalty is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail.
If a third or second-degree felony is committed by a law enforcement officer, corrections officer or a variety of health care providers or anyone needing a license from the State of Texas, the crime could become an increased charge.
The bill includes harsher penalties if the victim is a child and was submitted right behind the approval of 'Jessica's Law.'
'This bill should give prosecutors an additional tool in these cases and hopefully prevent this from happening again,' stated Pitts.
Chitale pleaded guilty in 2005 to misdemeanor charges of indecent exposure and public lewdness related to assaults on his female patients the previous year. All of his patients were under sedation for different procedures at the Ennis Regional Medical Center and were under what this new bill is calling 'particularly vulnerable' to the authority of a health care provider or law enforcement official.
Prosecutors reached a plea agreement with Chitale in which he only got six months in the county jail and 10 years probation, even after prosecutors said they were confident a jury would have convicted Chitale on sexual assault based on the horrific conditions and the evidence that was clearly found on one of the victims.
The verdict would have easily been overturned on appeal which cast doubt on the sexual assault charges according to the prosecutors.
Twelve different women are part of a pending lawsuit against Chitale, Ennis Regional Medical Center and Digestive Health Associates, even though the hospital has settled with some of the women, because Chitale practiced for at least two years after patients first accused him.

Sewists, crafters, kids, and adults will LOVE this Giant Button Wall Art from Mitzi Curi! Made with a large wooden circle, this simple DIY decor project is perfect for adding a splash of color to a small corner or your children's bedroom. This would also be an adorable addition to your future craft room. You could even use a variety of circles to create a whole wall of adorable colored buttons!
- Round wood tray
- White spray primer (if you want to paint your button a light color)
- Spray paint in the color of your choice
- A drill with a large spade bit, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter (sometimes called a paddle bit)
- Cotton filler cord (from the upholstery supply area of a fabric store)
- A "D-strap" metal hanger
- Sandpaper
- E-6000 glue
I decided to prime the tray first with a couple light coats of white primer so I could see the marks for the drill holes and for better paint coverage.
Now I could measure the center and decide where to place marks for the four holes with a pencil. At first, I used a measuring method, then I said "heck with this" and I positioned four pennies where I wanted the holes and traced around them.
Using a drill with a spade bit, drill four holes. Tip: start drilling from the front of the tray. The inevitable splinters will show up more on the back. Of course, if you prefer two holes rather than four, that's fine too.
Sand the drilled holes so they are somewhat smooth. I rolled up a piece of sandpaper to get right inside. Surprisingly, the tray I used had cardboard sandwiched between the two layers of wood. Yours might not. Remove all the dust with a damp paper towel or tack cloth.
Now spray paint your button the color of your choice. I had to use about three coats of "Perfect Pink", waiting between each coat to dry according to manufacturer's directions.
Take your cording and thread it through the holes until you are satisfied with the appearance. I decided to leave a "thread" hanging out the front, and I tucked the other end in the back.
The package of D-strap hooks includes little nails, but I decided to use E-6000 glue instead because the tray was so thin I didn't think pounding a nail into it was a good idea.
FYI: I actually glued the hook closer to the top edge than what is shown in this picture. Wait 24 hours for the glue to cure before hanging.
- After the glue dries for 24 hours, your button is ready to hang!

According to the provisions of the Constitution of India, the first General Elections in the state were held in 1952. The total strength of membership in the Assembly was 331, including one nominated member.Dr Sri krishna Singh became the first Leader of the house and the Chief Minister and Dr Anugrah Narayan Sinha was elected the first deputy leader of the assembly and became state's first Deputy Chief Minister.
It was reduced to 318 during the second General Elections. In 1977, the total number of elected members of the Bihar Legislative Assembly was further raised from 318 to 324. With the creation of a separate State of Jharkhand, by an Act of Parliament titled the Bihar Reorganisation Act, 2000, the strength of the Bihar Legislative Assembly was reduced from 325 to 243 members.

If you want to lose weight, you know the only way to ensure healthy progress and lasting success is by changing how you eat and increasing your activity level. However, there are a number of herbs that can help this journey along, whether by speeding up your fat-burning metabolism or by helping you stifle cravings.
These top 5 herbs can help accelerate your body's natural ability to eliminate body fat both safely and effectively:
1. Hoodia Gordonii
Hoodia made serious gains in popularity a few years ago during which time its beneficial properties became more well-known by the general public. Now, the dust has settled a little, but pure Hoodia is still an effective weight loss aid with serious backing. Used by hunters in desert regions of Africa, the herb helps reduce cravings and allows you to cut calories without feelings of deprivation. Because there are many weight loss aids carrying the Hoodia name, be cautious that what you are getting is the real thing.
2. Damiana
This is a wild shrub native to the West Indies, Mexico, and Central America. It has a variety of uses, though most recently has been marketed as a weight loss aid. This could be because of its effects on the digestive system, sometimes encouraging loose stools and the subsequent loss of water weight. However, a promising study showed that when paired with other herbs, Damiana helped delay gastric emptying, providing a sense of fullness for a longer period after eating.
3. Gymnema
This herb is native to Africa and has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine. It is said to balance blood sugar levels and is often recommended for people suffering from diabetes. It is said to block sugar absorption and stop sugar cravings, a major contributor to some people's weight problems.

If you're someone who likes to keep up with the latest in food and nutrition, you've undoubtedly heard or read about probiotics and prebiotics. You might know that they can aid digestion and reduce bloating, as touted in countless yogurt commercials on TV. But perhaps you didn't know that they have numerous other potential health benefits. You might even be shocked to learn what probiotics really are: bacteria. Prebiotics, on the other hand, are the food that probiotics need to survive. While this knowledge might make some people squeamish at first, it is a necessary first step toward understanding the helpful role probiotics can play in the body. This article describes what probiotics and prebiotics are, how they can help you, and how they might in some cases be harmful — so that you can have a better idea whether adding them to your diet is right for you.
Probiotics are our friends
If the thought of bacteria coursing through your digestive system makes you squirm, take a deep breath and realize this: Some types of bacteria are good for us. We tend to hear much more about all of the harmful bacteria that can cause illness, such as Streptococcus pyogenes, which causes strep throat; or Escherichia coli, which can cause serious food poisoning. Often overlooked are all the good types of bacteria that help keep our bodies functioning properly and can even help ward off certain diseases.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines probiotics as "living organisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host." Microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, and yeasts — organisms that can only be seen with a microscope. While some varieties of yeast may confer a health benefit, the most common probiotics are certain types of bacteria.
Scientists estimate that about 500 different species of bacteria live in and on our bodies. In the typical human gut, there are about 100 trillion microorganisms belonging to these 500-odd species. The large intestine has the most bacteria due to its position as the "last stop" in the digestive system; here, bacteria break down certain molecules for energy that human digestive enzymes cannot. It takes several hours for digested food to travel the length of the large intestine, giving the bacteria there plenty of time to grow and thrive. The good news is that most of these microorganisms serve to protect us from harmful bacteria, as well as to aid in digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function.
Think of probiotics as friendly bacteria. The word "probiotic" means "for life," and as the name suggests, we all rely on these organisms to maintain optimum health.
Probiotic history
Probiotics are nothing new; foods containing them have been around for thousands of years. Persian tradition attributes the prophet Abraham's long life to drinking soured milk. The Romans described using fermented milk to treat intestinal gas. An early clinical account describes how Francis I of France, king during the 1500's, suffered from diarrhea that was cured only when a doctor sent by the Ottoman sultan gave him yogurt. (Learn more about yogurt here.) Elie Metchnikoff, a scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1908, studied peasants in Bulgaria who lived longer than 100 years. He deduced that their good health and long lives were due to a microbe in a type of yogurt that they ate; he subsequently named this type of bacteria Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Fermented milk products, once rare outside the Middle East and southwestern Europe, have caught on in western Europe and the United States in the last century due to their introduction by immigrants and increasing knowledge of their health benefits.

They don't want that food on their plate.
Ella will lay it on her napkin while Ezra is extremely persistent in insisting he hand it to us.
I don't understand this one? Why does it have to be removed from their plate in their minds...even if we have said they don't have to eat it?
Is it just my kids that do that?

My kids STILL do that, even if has been removed from their mouths and partially chewed up?! Ewww...
Maybe they think that if they get it off their plates we won't "forget" that they didn't like it and make them eat it later=)

Our girls do that too. It has pretty much always been this way I think. It is not enough that they don't have to eat it, it also MUST be off the plate. One of those mysterious things I guess:)

Adam does that too! Just Adam, though--the other two just don't eat what they don't want. He'll take what he doesn't want and put it up on the table, on the floor (my favorite), and I even saw him just move all of his chicken from one section of his plate to another as a statement against the chicken! Odd to us, typical for them.

After dismantling the Nets last night, the Knicks are sticking to their winning ways tonight, boasting a 32 point edge on the Magic in the 4th quarter.
The two straight big wins will have many wondering if the Knicks of last year are back. For right now, however, all anyone is talking about is Iman Shumpert's monster jam from late in the 2nd quarter.
After driving to his left, Shumpert made a quick jump cut to his right and exploded up into the air, cocking the ball back with his right hand, and smashing it through the hoop for two.

Nico started the day with aerodynamic comparisons and then made a qualifying simulation. In the afternoon he attempted a race simulation which was aborted due to some technical issues. However, Nico completed 118 laps. Tom McCullough, Head of Track Engineering : "On the final day of winter testing we had some technical issues, which didn't allow us to complete the full race simulation. We will go back to our technical base and analyse all the data to exploit the full potential of the car at the first race in Melbourne. Overall the three winter tests were quite successful for our team. We completed a lot of laps and got a good understanding of our new car which will allow us to make the right decisions in the forthcoming weeks." Nico Hülkenberg: "We did most of the planned programme with a qualifying and a race simulation. The qualifying simulation went quite smoothly, but we have some potential left with the balance of the car and some homework to do before Melbourne. But I think that we found some interesting directions, and overall I'm quite satisfied. The race simulation didn't go hundred percent according to plan. Tyre degradation at the beginning is very high, and it's quite challenging to keep tyres alive." What comes next: For all teams, this was the final day of testing, before the season starts in Melbourne.

Congress on Wednesday said Rahul Gandhi's emotionally charged speeches in Churu and Alwar saying showed he spoke from the heart, which will have its resonance across the country.
Maintaining that Gandhi's speech is clear in itself and needs no further comments, party spokesperson Meem Afzal said "Gandhi has spoken from the heart. The voice of heart reaches many hearts and to far off. It will have its resonance throughout the country."
Afzal rejected the criticism of Gandhi raking up the Mujaffarnagar riots issue saying all that the Congress Vice President said is that no one should try to divide people.
BJP leader Ravishanker Prasad attacked Rahul Gandhi for making an emotional pitch to garner votes and claimed he had been compelled to do so as he had nothing to drive home about UPA government's performance.
"It is very unfortunate that Rahul has spoken about the assassination of his grandmother and illness of his mother during electioneering and made an emotional appeal to the people to vote for Congress," Prasad told reporters in Patna.
Former BJP president Nitin Gadkari has accused Congress Gandhi of promoting dynastic politics, saying he was talking about his family's sacrifices for "selfish political interests".
A divorce, a jail term, determined foes: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar fighting a lone battle?
The divorce between Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal(U) and a few days of change in residence for Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Prasad – from 10, Circular Road in Patna to the Ranchi jail in Jharkhand – have totally changed the game that is played in Bihar.
Angry with the SP, convinced that the Congress is a losing proposition, unsure of AAP's ability to win, and fearful that Mayawati may ally with the BJP in the future, Muslims have a difficult choice.

U-Tern – Da Da Daa Daa
U-Tern (1/2 of the disco duo Oliver) is more known for his disco/house beat making prowess, but late in the wee hours of last night he uploaded this little diddy onto his soundcloud, letting his fans know "Yes, I make other types of music besides disco/house…". It's a combination of hip/hop and trap with some dubstep that kicks in around the 2:08 mark. It's surprisingly good and would go well with some A-List rap vocals on top. Always good to know that producers so well known for certain types of music are still willing to experiment.
Support U-Tern on SoundCloud
He made sure to upload a disco banger last night too titled "You Don't Know Me". Obviously we don't with all this randomness! Good randomness nonetheless. Free Download!

Getting pregnant quicker depends on making sure sperm meet egg at the right time in your cycle. And there are several ways to determine exactly when that is.When you're trying to get pregnant, timing is everything. Perfect eggs and flawless sperm are useless if they don't connect. To make that happen, sex has to occur on the day of ovulation (when the ripened egg is released from the ovary), or a few days before (because sperm can live in the female reproductive tract for several days). Miss the dates and you've missed your chance . . . at least for that cycle.You can have sex every other day throughout your cycle to make sure you get the timing right. Or, if the idea of sex that frequently every month (after month) isn't appealing, you can learn how to pinpoint your fertile days and time your sex accordingly. There are several ways to determine the date. Read on and choose the one you think will work best for you.Chart your cycleOne of the most common misconceptions about fertility is that every woman ovulates and is most fertile on day 14 of her cycle. But that's only true in women who have a perfect, regular 28-day cycle. In fact, it's actually not 14 days after menstruation begins that ovulation occurs, but usually14 days before. So if you have a very regular cycle, you can estimate your date of ovulation by subtracting two weeks from the date of your next expected period. For example: A woman with a regular 30-day cycle probably ovulates around day 16, and someone with a regular 26-day cycle probably ovulates around day 12.Take your temperatureCharting your basal body temperature (BBT)—your morning body temperature before you get out of bed—is another way to pinpoint ovulation. A woman's normal, non-ovulating temperature is between 96 and 99 degrees Fahrenheit, but following the release of an egg, BBT increases by about half a degree, and remains slightly elevated until right before menstruation. If you chart BBT for a few cycles, it may help you to predict ovulation if your cycle is regular. Unfortunately, BBT isn't the best way to time sexual intercourse for conception. By the time your BBT rises, there's little fertile time left to conceive. If you're interested in charting your BBT, you'll need to buy a special thermometer—inexpensive and widely available in drugstores-- that measures temperature in tenths of degrees.Use a fertility monitorIf your cycle tends to be irregular, over-the-counter ovulation predictor kits can help you pinpoint your fertile phase. Most of these kits, widely available in drugstores, use your morning urine to measure luteinizing hormone, which surges right before ovulation. Much like a pregnancy test, you urinate on a small stick, which indicates when you are close to ovulation. (Another kind of fertility monitor measures the estrogen in saliva, and still another checks for increasing amounts of chloride in sweat.)Check your cervical mucusThere's one more body fluid that can give you insight into your cycle, and you can check it without the use of any special devices: cervical mucus (CM). You may have to get over the "ick" factor, but it's free and surprisingly accurate. You can examine these secretions by feel or appearance—in your underwear or on a piece of toilet paper— to find out where you are in your cycle. For a few days after your period, your cervical fluid may be dry or sticky, then it starts to get wetter. When it becomes slippery and stretchy--almost like a raw egg white--that's when you're most fertile.Take your pick—low-tech or high, all of these methods will help you identify the most fertile phase in your cycle.

NCIS Round Table: "Enemy on the Hill"by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Our official NCIS review broke down Tuesday's terrific episode in great detail.
Now, TV Fanatic staff members Steve Marsi, Matt Richenthal and Eric Hochberger gather for our weekly Round Table Q&A discussion. Join in below, as we analyze various aspects of the team's adventures ...
Best episode of the season so far?
Steve: They've all been good, but "Enemy on the Hill" was hard to top. Tony was at his best - both as an investigator and as comic relief - while Gibbs was the father figure Abby needed. Interesting case too.
Matt: After the season premiere, each of the next three weeks have featured one of the team members in a pretty heavy storyline. Gibbs, meanwhile, has increasingly been letting them take the lead. The overall direction of the season feels different in that sense, but in way that's been organic and enjoyable.
Eric: Pauley Perrette stole the episode and makes this a definitive yes from me.
What was your favorite quote from the episode?
Steve: Gibbs telling Abby there's more to family than DNA. Given the millions of people out there who were adopted by loving parents, I'm sure this melted more than a few hearts. For a man of few words, Gibbs always seems to pick the right ones when his own NCIS "family" needs them.
Matt: So many good options. For me it's a time between Tony and Tim's phone duel to reach Gibbs fastest, Gibbs' half-condescending rapport with Sportelli (I love when he goes head-to-head with other law enforcement) and the comments to Ziva after she blew her assignment.
Eric: DiNozzo calling the landlady a turkey vulture. I had never heard that one before.
What was your favorite scene with Abby, and what will she do next?
Steve: One thing I liked was that Abby knocked and Gibbs mentioned it. That spoke volumes about her mental state at the moment, and how discombobulated the whole ordeal made her. It's the little details like that - ones that make little difference to the basic plot but show a real respect for the characters' continuity over eight-plus seasons - that make the show so enjoyable to me. I can only hope we haven't seen the last of this storyline.
Matt: I loved the reflection of her brother's face enmeshed with hers. Very cool visual, compounded by the fact that Daniel Louis Rivas could pass for a Pauley Perrette sibling if you didn't know better (I love that they dated and she recommended him for the part, by the way). This has been well received by so many people, I find it hard to believe we won't see these two meet again, with Abby being more forthcoming next time.
Eric: The end scene, hands down. It definitely got a little dusty in my house. My only question is whether Gibbs knows more about Abby's past than he let on. As Tony said, Gibbs knows all ...
Where was Palmer this week?
Steve: Probably at a cake tasting with Breena and/or irritating their wedding planner with his rambling.
Matt: I don't know, but my man Jimmy was certainly missed. It's funny how you take for granted his usual scenes with Gibbs and Ducky in the morgue, but there's definitely a void when they're gone. On a related note, I was glad to see Ziva play a bigger role in the case this week. It felt like she was on the sidelines for a while.
Eric: What I want to know is where Brian Dietzen is every week in the opening credits!
Next week's episode synopsis says Tony and McGee will try to find the ideal woman for Gibbs. Is that even possible, and who do you think it is?
Steve: I've always enjoyed recurring Coast Guard redhead Diane Neal as Abby Borin, who just happens to be making an appearance in "Safe Harbor." Makes you think!
Matt: After losing the love of his life, it's easy to understand how Gibbs was never the same. Tony and McGee have a difficult task ahead of them ... one I can't wait to watch them attempt, don't get me wrong.
Eric: If I were a single woman I'd simply answer, "me."
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Round Tables, NCIS
Also just remembered Chip that was Abby's lab assistant that Director Shepherd forced upon her was Michael Bellasario.
I believe I read somewhere the red headed lady in the convertible that was always picking up Gibbs in Season One is actually McGee's (Sean Murray's) mother in real life. Sean Murray's mother is Donald Bellasario's fourth wife. And the person that played McGee's sister is his step-sister in real life.
Maybe we get lucky and Ray and Ziva will get married
hi tiva,editor i liked jeanne she brought out a soft side of tony dont know if i would want her to return.im still hoping that tony and ziva get together even if its the last episode of ncis.
There's too much water under the bridge to me, for Tony and ZIva to become romantically involved. I like them better as caring friends and coworkers who respect each others talents and abilities, and want what is best for the other. After the way Ziva has been written to look down on and disrespect Tony for the last couple years, I'd be happy if she could just seem to respect him, and not have the need to one up and insult him. It seems like so far anyway, that GG is moving away from the mean snarky dynamic that prevailed in the bullpen scenes for the last couple years. Go GG!
Editor you do make a good point. I kinda liked her the reason I didn't hate her she showed Tony that he could love someone. yes she got on my nerves but I like how Tony changed a bit into a man who loves a woman and was faithfully. you know who I liked but she died was Paula Cassidy she was good to Tony, and thats when Tony told Jeanne he loved her when she died and yes she fell in love with DaNardo and not DiNozzo, but like I said I like Tony when he loves a woman. I like season 4 because it bring a good side of Tony. I like to see that side of Tony with someone. I want with Ziva but I don't see that happening.
I thought Jeanne fell in love with Tony DiNardo, not our Tony DiNozzo. So, naturally, her heart got broken. Never liked her character anyway. She pushed Tony into saying he loved her. And she pushed him into getting a place with her. She never met any of his friends. She always wanted her own way. She had just broken up with John. What sort of relationship did she have with Tony ? Oh ya, UNDERCOVER. I never watch any of Season 4 just because of her.
I agree it did mess with her head I blame Jenny for that I know she didn't know or want Tony to fall for Jeanne but he did and Jenny just wanted Justice for her father. but both Jeanne and Tony got caught in the middle and Jeanne was lied to by both men she love. but I stop liking her when she lied about Tony. I still think Jenny was the one who did it but I don't think they will ever tell us if she did it or not.
I agree that Jeanne should not have accused Tony. (Duh). But I did feel sorry for the character. I mean she fell in love and was planning on living with Tony. Then she finds out he's not who he says he is that he's lied to her all along, and that her Father is not who she thought he was, and then he's murdered. It obviously really messed with her head. I loved the Jeanne and Tony scenes prior to the whole thing falling apart, and I loved the development in Tony's character that season. But yes, I'm all for Tony having a mostly off screen relationship. I liked EJ, but we still don't know what happened to her. Anyway, this season it seems that Palmer, Ducky, and Gibbs are going to have romances.
I don't think Tony and M. Allison Hart I didn't like her. she was too into her job. I kinda liked Jeanne until she lied about Tony killing her father. but I think Tony needs to be with some else

1. Encourage her creativity: Always take a minute to listen, encourage and put your own input on her ideas.
2. Let her know that there is someone in the world who relates to what she thinks and feels: Even though girls sometimes feel misunderstood, it is always comforting to know there is someone out there who feels the same way, and wants to listen to what they have to say.
3. Assure her that she can be whoever she wants to be in her life: Let her know that anything is possible with lots of effort and a good attitude.
4. Fill her mind with positive examples and acceptance: Always show the best in you and she will too. Encourage her to accept, understand and be loving to everyone she knows.
5. Rock! And be her rock: Always support her views of the world and celebrate with her as much as you can.
Source: Rock and Roll Camp for Girls Orange County
In the back room of Shoreline Baptist Church in Fountain Valley, five girls, each with her own drum set, surround one another with a cacophonous rapture of rhythm.
Down the hall, six young female keyboardists experiment with chords. The bassists in the room next door fidget with the thick strings of instruments much bigger than they are.
It may be a summer camp, but these girls aren't singing "Kumbaya" beside a fire.
"Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls is all about creating the model society we want to exist for girls everywhere," said Candace Hansen, founder of the Orange County nonprofit, which has designed the weeklong camp to teach girls ages 7 to 17 the basics of rock music and feminist ideals.
"This is a place where women of all different shapes, sizes, colors, types are taking artistic risks in a safe space," the Huntington Beach resident said.
Hansen, a drummer, kicked off the camp Monday with a series of get-to-know-you exercises and a set of agreements all the campers came up with – chief among them, to respect one another.
There were some general rules of thumb, too.
"We're all sisters in rock here, so I think we can agree not to kick or sass or put boogers on each other," she announced, in summation of the group's brainstorming session.
The camp culminates in a showcase performance Saturday night. The 45 campers will form about eight bands, which will perform at the showcase. There also will be a silent auction curated by Los Angeles punk rock legend Exene Cervenka, with relics from bands such as The Offspring and Reel Big Fish.
Each day, the girls spend three hours in music lessons and workshops. Workshops cover music topics but also lessons in empowerment. One teaches girls self-defense. Another workshop is on media literacy, in which girls deconstruct advertisements for how much they degrade or disrespect women. At lunch, while they eat, a local band performs for them.
Costa Mesa resident Isel Romero, 14, heard about the camp through a self-defense class she attended. The idea of performing in a band after just one week appealed to her, but it was the promise of an out-of-the-ordinary summer camp that really made her want to come, she said.
"I'm going into high school this year and wanted something to look forward to over the summer," the vocalist said. "So I came here to see what I could accomplish in music and also to meet friends from other cities and have some new experiences."
Angela LaBounty, 47, a volunteer and parent to a camper, grew up in Huntington Beach idolizing the punk rock musicians emerging from the area during her teenage years. But all of those musicians were men. She wants her daughter to grow up in a music culture where women can take the lead, she said.
"This is a mama's rock 'n' roll dream come true," LaBounty said. "My baby girl can rock out in a safe space."
Drum, bass, vocal, keyboard and guitar lessons are taught by 10 volunteer instructors. Campers previously provide their top three choices for what they want to learn or play during the week and find out the first day of camp which one each gets. Some have music experience, but others are taking the opportunity to learn for the first time. Since the camp tuition adjusts to all income levels, pricey music lessons are not a prerequisite.
In the afternoon, bands formed on the first day get together and work on a song. Like any camp, and like any collaboration of artists, there's bound to be some personality clashes. It typically happens midweek; Hansen calls it "The Wednesday Meltdown." The girls may disagree on a particular note, a lyric in their song or the general vision of the band. They're encouraged to voice these concerns, even if it leads to conflict.

Most people if attacked by zombies would merely be overcome and let themselves be chewed to itsy bitsy pieces because A. They're lazy B. Stupid C. Greedy and wouldn't bother helping another living soul.
Most people would simply close the door and go back to watching Jerry Springer or Opra or Football or whatever while the zombies would sneak up behind them and chew their heads off thus perpetuating the zombie menace.
Good thing we have the internet to spread the good word of how to ignore advice when needed!

Subject: Short hair...?
Well, we shot this thing in one day, nobody was paid, most of the zombies supplied their own costumes AND makeup, and the most expensive thing I had to pay for was lunch, which consisted of around 100 hot dogs, couple of big cans of chili, a tub-o-mustard, buns, sodas and bottled water.
I felt that it would have been cruel to make the kid cut his hair without paying him...

I quite enjoyed this mash-up and I thought the interweaving of bits from actual Civil Defense films about gas attack and the nuclear threat along with a lot of young people clearly having a BLAST playing Zombies (not to mention those playing the hapless family) was quite impressive considering the equipment and software you probably had to work with. A great job by all, I say!!! Keep up the good work, Jose, you may be the next Spielberg!

The Blue One -
Subject: Eh.
Mimicking old 50's educational movies pretty much never works, just because you'd need to also mimic the sound quality and, of course, the type of voice, which takes skilled acting. Homemade introductions and other footage you're going to put in the movie and give a "vintage" effect, that's another thing, because these effects that are in film editing software are usually very unrealistic, just because the software isn't changing the FPS. I'm going to stop ranting now, but for the reasons I've stated above, I'm quite despondent to give this vintage parody, or almost all parodies of old educational movies more than 2 stars.

Subject: Re: schizoid man's offhand comment
Hmm have to comment on this one, quickly. I don't think that the global warming scare is "ridiculous." Neither do the vast majority of our scientists who study global warming. The fact is that Carbon Dioxide absorbs more heat than other atmospheric gasses so the more in the atmosphere the hotter the atmosphere will get. I find it odd that people will still believe a rogue source without doing any independent research on it themselves, over the in depth research of thousands of people. It may be true that global warming will not be as devastating as we think it will be, however, as far as I know, in my limited understanding of global warming, there is ample evidence that our planet is getting hotter.

Subject: Think the '50s were silly, just wait. Juuuuust wait.
Just think, in about 30 years kids will be making similarly clever parodies about the ridiculous Global Warming Scare of the early 2000s and the New World Order conspiracies and narrated in a 'edgy, MTVish in your face' style so indicative of our present era of Ad Council smugness. Boy, are our grandchildren going to have laugh.

This bears some nostalgic effects for me, since I watched this in High School when I was a boy. Or was I a girl. Anyways, never thought I'd see this again. Although coming to us right from the fifties obviously, it still holds valuable information we no doubt will need to master the crisis ahead. "Watch, and learn," the teacher said. Oh, how he was right. Or she. Can't recall right now.

Subject: wrong forum
This short film should NOT be in Archive.org as it is not--in and of itself--a true historic archival film, regardless of the fact that it uses a lot of archival Prelinger footage. It is very obviously a modern day parody and is in the wrong forum. Not to put too fine a point on it, this film's inclusion in Archive.org dilutes Archive.org's purpose and negatively impacts those looking for *truly public domain archival footage*.

This is funny stuff-especially the A.K.A.'s. The tone's pitch-perfect, the voice-over's great, I just wish there'd been more public-domain footage. It's only in the second of the three parts and it helps ramp-up the ridiculousness of it all.
Definitely worth downloading and burning for later.

Subject: Laughed till I cried!!!
This is one of the best parody films I have ever seen. This is three short subject films run together to create a "Trilogy of Comedy". Newly created B&W material is spliced together with old clips to form a really great "training flick"
to help you deal with those pesky old zombies. This video is better and more original than anything I have seen on commercial TV in years.
5 stars is not enough. This is a 10 star addition to the archive. Perfect for a Halloween party. Please do more!!!

June has been the deadliest month for foreign troops in the Afghan war since it began in 2001.
The June death toll of 102, announced on Wednesday, is almost triple the number of US and Nato soldiers killed in May, and the new US commander warned that fighting would get tougher before the situation on the ground could improve.
At a senate hearing on his nomination to replace his sacked predecessor, US General David Petraeus said foreign troops in Afghanistan were fighting an "industrial-strength insurgency".
"My sense is that the tough fighting will continue, indeed, it may get more intense in the next few months," he said on Tuesday.
The latest death, a soldier who died in an attack in eastern Afghanistan, was announced by Nato's International Security Assistance Force [ISAF] on Tuesday.
Just two months ago, in April, the number of foreign soldiers who died in the country was 20, according to the independent icasualties.org website.
Heavy loses
The previous deadliest month the allied forces suffered was August last year, when 77 soldiers were killed.
In total, 322 foreign soldiers have died so far this year, compared with a toll for all 2009 of 520.
Western leaders and military commanders concede the escalating death toll of foreign soldiers, most of them American, is attributable in part to intensified military operations against the Taliban in their southern strongholds.
"It's a tough time we're in," General Josef Blotz, a spokesman for ISAF, said.
"We are in the arena, there's no way out now, we have to stay on, we have to fight this campaign," he said this week.
The US and Nato have 140,000 troops in Afghanistan, but that number is due to peak at 150,000 by August on orders by Barack Obama, the US president, as part of a counter-insurgency strategy to speed up the end of the war.
Earlier this year about 15,000 US, Nato and Afghan troops launched an operation in Marjah, the Taliban controlled region of southern Helmand province, as part of a massive operation aimed at flushing out Taliban fighters in what commanders said was the biggest military push since 2001.
However, fighting continues more than four months later, and an even bigger strike in the neighbouring Taliban heartland of Kandahar province, has been postponed.

http://debrasilvermanastrology.com An entertaining look at the Cancer horoscope sign personality traits by Astrology expert & psychotherapist Debra Silverman.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Question by Heretique: Libra Sun, Leo Moon, Pisces Rising/Ascendant?
I have scoured around for information about this combination, but I can't seem to find anything. I would love to hear about it through different perspectives.
Any insight or description on this specific combo would be greatly appreciated, especially if anyone else happens to have it.
My daily life includes balancing my chaotic emotions and passions alongside my Virgo sun/Scorpio moon/Sagittarius rising lover. We are both involved in the occult and heavy metal, I am a physical/visual artist and he is a musician.
Best answer:
Answer by SaggiMC
The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a very romantic personality. You may make a career of love affairs and no matter how dull the rest of your life may be, matters of the heart will never be routine or boring for you. While you are refined, devoted, and discreet, a wild love affair is well within your capacity. Your ideals are your guiding stars, and you stick with them no matter what. You go after an ideal with the greatest of enthusiasm and dedication. You seem to have a tendency toward extreme excesses in much that you do. There's a streak of pride in your nature that restricts you from ever stepping below your natural position or station in life. In certain ways this combination can result in a passive nature as far as ambitions are concerned. In your career or professional life you seem held in low gear by a force working like the law of inertia. Both Libra and Leo are signs of pleasantry, love of luxury, and sociability. These traits lessen motivation and to increase complacency. You like and enjoy people, and when someone crosses you or takes advantage of you, you're a little bewildered."
Pisces Asc thread.
Pisces Asc (along with gemini) is probably one of the most difficult in childhood.Please read the above thread as I feel it will explain a lot for you. With pisces they are sooo impressionable, easily manipulated and make lots of sacrifices trying to please family to much
Synastry doesn't work off *signs* but the mathematical aspects they make to another's chart. So synastry (chart comparisons) compares ALL 10planets, Ascendant, Midheaven, Juno, Vertex, Nodes, Part of fortune. So failing no chart appearing you will have to do some research yourself and this is where I come in and will walk you through astrological techniques you are asking about
In a man's chart we look at venus and moon, then planets in 7th house the signs/aspects, in the absent of planets then the ruler of 7th house 'traits', where it's placed and aspected.
In a woman's chart we look at sun and mars, then planets in 7th house the signs/aspects, in the absent of planets then the ruler of 7th house 'traits', where it's placed and aspected.
its upto YOU to create and post charts not us here…if you don't know how then I'm going to explain and then show you pictorially how
how to post synastry charts on YA shown pictorially
Do not make the mistake of copy/pasting from address bar as the links will disappear
IF and when you get the bi wheel and aspect grid, create a new thread and PM the link pls? If you find all this bit daunting but still want to learn a little synastry PM for some research links, or read more about me on my homepage here
The problem with the limited information you have given is, there are 10planets not just one or two you have mentioned and if you have a harsh/hard aspect from Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto to your personal planets it *will* make matters decidedly tricky if not impossible to overcome. So this is why I ask for charts, plus it shows me if you really want answers or are just lazy and curious… I don't ask for this information lightly but are 'you' asking lightly? or do you want a fully informed astrological answer?
