Menendez, Reid, Rubio, Becerra and Ros-Lehtinen Reintroduce Legislation to Authorize American Latino Museum on the National Mall
March 14, 2013
WASHINGTON D.C. — US Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Majority Leader Reid (D-NV), US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus Xavier Becerra (D-CA) and US Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) today reintroduced bipartisan legislation in the Senate and House of Representatives to authorize the Smithsonian's Arts and Industries building on the National Mall as the designated location of the Smithsonian American Latino Museum. This authorization of the museum follows the recommendations of the May 2011 report by the bipartisan Commission to Study the Potential Creation of the National Museum of American Latino, a Commission that was established by law in 2008.
Senator Menendez said: "We are in a new era in which Latinos are a much greater part of our national discourse. Through the years, our numbers have grown as well as our significance to the story of America. A Museum of the American Latino would officially acknowledge our great history in the United States, and educate visitors about how the success of this country could not have been accomplished without the achievements of Hispanic Americans. For years, I have led the push to bring to this long overdue project to fruition. With the reintroduction of this legislation, I am hopeful that – with the help of my colleagues in both chambers – we can finally make a national museum that honors the countless political, cultural, and economic contributions of America's Latino community a reality."
Senate Majority Leader Reid said: "It is time for our country to have a special place where the Hispanic culture and its people can be honored and recognized for being an integral part of our national identity. Senator Menendez and I have been working hard to make the Latino museum a reality," Reid said. "For centuries, Americans of Hispanic descent have helped shape the history of Nevada and the country. Latinos have contributed to every facet of our lives and culture, they have spurred progress in our laboratories, playing fields, halls of justice, art, literature and the economy. It's time to build this museum."
Senator Rubio said: "Authorizing the use of federal land on the National Mall is an important step in laying the ground work to establish the American Latino Museum. This will be an enduring monument as much to the people who have found opportunity and refuge in America as it is a tribute to our exceptional country that has always welcomed people and helped them realize their dreams like no other place in human history. At a time when our nation faces major economic and fiscal challenges, I am pleased that this effort will not rely on taxpayer dollars and that this bill will encourage private fundraising efforts to make it a reality."
Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus Xavier Becerra (D-CA) said: "Since our founding, Americans of Latino descent have played an important role in our nation's story - in every chapter and at every turn. Yet their lives and diverse contributions to our nation's enduring prosperity remain largely unseen and untold. Today, with the reintroduction of this bipartisan legislation, I continue the decade-long work with my colleagues in the House and Senate to bring the American Latino Museum to the National Mall. America's past is strongly rooted in the hope, sacrifice, and perseverance of Latinos, and its future will grow with new generations of American Latinos. Let us now move forward in honoring this history for all Americans to witness with pride."
Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen said: "Hispanic-Americans have contributed immensely to the social, political, and cultural fabric of this great nation. From our community's involvement in the armed forces, to the struggles of activists who fought for civil rights, and the accomplishments of leaders in the fields of sports, music, film, science and medicine, Hispanic-Americans have profoundly shaped the history of the United States. Through the Latino belief that nothing is impossible, and anything can be accomplished, we are all compelled to remember that this country was built on the tenets of hard work, perseverance and dedication. For these reasons, I support the efforts to establish the National American Latino Museum as part of the Smithsonian family. As the world's largest museum and research complex, the Smithsonian is a testament to the power of the human mind and spirit. By celebrating the past successes of the Latino community, this museum will empower the next generation of Hispanic-Americans to continue a legacy of excellence for generations to come."
PDF OF THE LEGISLATION (S.568): http://www.menendez.senate.gov/download/?id=6c101bda-f80e-4dcc-84b7-6970e006c079
The Smithsonian American Latino Museum Act
Following the work of the bipartisan Commission to Study the Potential Creation of a National Museum of the American Latino, a Commission established by law on May 8, 2008, Senators Menendez and Reid are introducing legislation that would authorize the Arts and Industries building of the Smithsonian Institution as the designated location of the Smithsonian American Latino Museum.
This museum has widespread support from the Hispanic community across the nation, and would tell all Americans the story of American Latinos, who have contributed to the political, social, cultural and economic vitality of the United States since the founding of this nation.
- Site Designation: The bill designates the Arts and Industries Building (AIB) as the location of the museum, including an annex that would be constructed underground and adjacent to the AIB. The bill requires that the planning, design and construction of the museum be harmonious with open space and visual sightlines of the National Mall.
- Site Development: The legislation gives the Board of Regents 18 months to conduct a plan of action study to determine the best way to plan, design, fund and construct the Museum of the American Latino, taking into account the Commission's report.
- Funding: As written, the bill simply authorizes a site to allow for private fundraising to begin for the planning, designing and construction of the museum.

Blanc de Chien ( white from China ) porcelain is usually associated with Dehua kilns. She was made from a mold, not on a potter's wheel. Incised and applied decorations were added by skilled artisans and the wares are fired at the highest possible temperature. The clay itself is quite unusual, having very little iron oxide in it, which allows for the unusual pure color. The shiny wet looking glaze melded to the porcelain makes it so appealing.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Jessica Szohr: Gossip Girl Fans Relate to Vanessaby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Jessica Szohr says her Gossip Girl character is the most "relatable" on the series.
Well, that may be, but it hasn't made her the most popular so far ... just saying.
Speaking to AOL, Szohr explained that Vanessa is someone fans can relate to because she does not have the wealthy lifestyle of some of the other characters on GG.
"I'm not just saying this because I play her but for me Vanessa's the most relatable person on the show," the 25-year-old actress said. "Only a very small percentage of people can live the Upper East Side life many of the other characters are living.
"When you watch Gossip Girl you get to see the craziness of all that."
Jessica Szohr as Vanessa Abrams on Gossip Girl.
"The writers also show the reality - parents getting divorced or losing a parent or getting your heart broken - but there's this whole other aspect of, 'Woah, do people really live like that? When they go to school do they really have a $5,000 handbag for a backpack?'"
"But Vanessa has a normal job and she doesn't have parents who can write her a check for every problem she has," says Szohr, who says she's still "feeling her way."
"She's such a people-pleaser and is always helping everyone out, but as you get older and you go to college or leave home you start to become an adult and learn life lessons. I'm hoping in the next season Vanessa realizes she can be nice but not be taken advantage of."
The Gossip Girl Season 4 spoilers we've read so far hint at tension between Vanessa and Serena, as well as V's involvement in the Dan-Georgina plot line. Should be interesting.
Are you looking forward to seeing V's character evolve this season? Will the writers give her some better story lines? Should she just stay in Haiti? Discuss!
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Gossip Girl, Interviews
I've never heard about anyone relating to her. She's pretty dull and expressionless, but that goes for some Gossip Girl actors. I'm sorry, but being not able to afford designer clothes doesn't make you likeable. Plus, Vanessa is boring.
And what is this about Vanessa being to nice and getting used by other people? She just walks around judging everyone!
um dellusional much?
And I would most definitely love to spend $5,000 on a handbag rather than my parent's not being able to give me awesome shit.
I can't relate to be annoying or being awful, but I still love you Jessica.
I don't want to relate ... I want to be amaze by the GG world =) !!!
V is fine, though all the characters have certain characterisrtics to relate with.
Blah blah blah such a bitches ..what are you 8 ears old? V is ok for me..you chair fans suck.. You only wont chair be in gg. is not jessica's foult that writers can do they work.
I don't know about anyone else, but I watch TV to escape my world and enter some other way of life, in this case the lifestyle of the wealthy. We watch it because the lifestyle fascinates us because it seems so foreign... I certainly don't go around bedhopping with millionaires!
Go die, Vanessa.
Oh please, the large majority of viewers dislike Vanessa because she's a dull, one-dimensional character played by a talentless wannabe-actress.
The crazy Westwick fans are just a very loud minority. For all I care I really hope she gets to marry Ed, has 7 twins and realizes her destiny is to be a wealthy stay-at-home mom. No more lame attempts at "acting" please.

Automatic restore of an image
Does anyone know if there's a way to automatically restore an image (from an USB drive or from another partition) with Windows 7 Embedded Standard 32-bits. By automatically, I mean with no action required from the user in the case of a USB stick (the restore starts when the PC boots and the USB drive is plugged in) or with minimal action from the user in the case of an other partition.
The context is a device that will be used be a client and which has no display monitor attached to it. We don't want the client to be forced to plug a monitor in the device to be able to restore the factory image.

Thank you.

Windows 7 Pro/32 Academic. Build 7600
Relatively speaking, restoring a system image is much too complicated of a task to be put on "autopilot". It demands input from a user.
|My System Specs
|23 Nov 2010
Thank you for your answer.
Well, from my point of view, I don't think that task is as much complicated as you say. There would be a single file on a USB drive which would be the image file. As soon as the system boots on the USB drive, it would simply whip the entire hard drive and replace its content by the image. I'd say it's pretty straight forward and doesn't require much input from a user.
There must be a way to do that (like writing a batch file or something..?). There are some viruses that erases all drive's content when executed on booting. So it should be possible to erase the hard drive and install a new image...
Anyway, thanks for your help! I understand that what I ask is unusual, so I don't expect to get a perfect solution. I was only checking if anyone might have done that before, but it's obviously not the case.

Invasive Species
The Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers! campaign is designed to address the multiple challenges of an environmental issue known collectively as aquatic nuisance species. Invasive species represent one of the greatest threats to quality fisheries.
May 29, 2014--Coalition makes ground on war with tamarisk (Cortez Journal)
A coalition of land managers, ecologists, and young adults have been slowly eradicating invasive plant species on the Lower Dolores River the last five years. On the frontlines is the Dolores River Restoration Partnership, formed in 2009 to restore native habitat on 175 miles of the river - from McPhee Dam to the confluence of the Colorado River.
May 25, 2014--Can US eliminate invasive species by eating them? (Washington Post)
It seems like a simple proposition: American lakes, rivers and offshore waters are filling up with destructive fish and crustaceans originally from other parts of the world, many of them potential sources of food. So why not control these invasive populations by getting people to eat them?
May 20, 2014--Officials concede defeat at Lake Powell, seek to contain invasive species (Deseret News)
For 14 years, officials at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area focused on keeping Quagga mussels out of Lake Powell.
April 22, 2014--McPhee boat check could lose funding (Cortez Journal)
The invasive quagga and zebra mussels have not been detected in McPhee Reservoir, but they're causing havoc in nearby Lake Powell. Boat inspections at McPhee have been effective in keeping the pests out of local waters so far. However, with shrinking budgets for Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the U.S. Forest Services, the critical checkpoints have an uncertain future.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OriginCeecee is a prominent character in the Vertigo series Young Liars.CreationCeecee was created by David Lapham.Character EvolutionCeecee seduces Danny in an attempt at blackmailAs the series is narrated by an unreliable character, there is a lot of speculation about how much of each character's story is actually true. She is Sadie's best friend, though Danny loathes her. She is a vain and promiscuous character, often sleeping with other characters to further her own agenda, and has a history of sleeping around with musicians.Prior to Danny being sectioned, Ceecee is depicted as an ex lover of his, and the two sleep together repeatedly while Danny and Sadie are together. However, after Danny is sectioned, his therapist tells him that the real Ceecee (as with all members of the gang) claims never to have known him, and can only identify Danny as the man who raped her. He later confronts her, tracking Ceecee down at a supermarket where she is shopping with her young son. She is visibly afraid when confronted by him, and runs away.Major Story ArcsCeecee's BabiesCeecee finds the armAt one point in the story, Ceecee tells one of her lovers that she is pregnant, causing him to abandon her. She claims that her pregnancy is a miracle, as she has previously been treated for syphilis and has been told that the disease has rendered her infertile. However, not far into the pregnancy, Sadie finds her bleeding in the bathroom. She has a miscarriage, and is rushed to hospital. Days later, while on the toilet, she discovers a tiny baby's arm floating in the toilet bowl, which she takes out and keeps in a box in her purse. Danny later finds this and confronts her, tossing the arm into the garbage disposable and causing Ceecee to burst into hysterics. Typically of the Young Liars series, Ceecee later denies all of this, claiming to not remember any of it.Ceecee also claims to have been pregnant in her teens, telling Danny that she gave herself an abortion by taking a friend's pills, but it is unclear whether this is true or a lie designed to elicit sympathy and manipulate him into sleeping with her.She later becomes pregnant again, but cannot tell whether the baby belongs to Danny, or a man who attacked them both during their adventures in Ibiza.Powers and AbilitiesCeecee is a normal human character, and as such does not have any special abilities.

The true story behind the Gettysburg sharpshooter
Today's post comes from curator Bruce Bustard. These photographs and documents are on display at the National Archives in Washington, DC, until July 15 in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.
On July 5, 1863, photographer Alexander Gardner and his assistant, Timothy O'Sullivan, arrived at the site of the Battle of Gettysburg. The battle had ended two days earlier. On parts of the battlefield, bodies were still unburied.
Over the next three days, Gardner did not hesitate to photograph the carnage. On July 6, when he saw the body of a Confederate soldier in an area called "Devil's Den," he photographed it. He and O'Sullivan then saw an opportunity for another, more dramatic photograph. They moved the corpse more than 40 yards to what they believed to have been the sharpshooter's position, and O'Sullivan made another exposure.
The photographs became two of the most famous of the Civil War, but for over 100 years historians did not question the captions Gardner wrote for them in his Photographic Sketch Book of the Civil War. These described a "sharpshooter" who had died a slow death and who had spent his final moments thinking of his family. Gardner also wrote that when he … [ Read all ]

A glimpse into the Civil War experience of Company F
Today's blog post comes from Mary Burtzloff, archivist at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.
The black leather-bound journal had water stains and mold around the edges. It looked a bit icky, but the contents of the Civil War journal fascinated me.
One hundred and fifty years after our nation's bloodiest conflict, we are reminded of the lives and accomplishments of famous men like Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee. The experiences of ordinary Americans (31 million or so who are not featured in films and books) are much more mysterious. What sort of people were they? How did they experience the war? George Boardman's story helps me relate to those missing multitudes.
I began identifying Civil War–related holdings at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library as I worked on a proposed exhibit. Believe it or not, a 20th-century Presidential library may have records from the 19th (and even 18th) century, too!
My favorite find was the journal of George Boardman, a young man who served in Company F of the 22nd Maine Infantry from October 1862 to August 1863. Mrs. M.

Emancipation Proclamation: A Letter Home
Today's blog post comes from National Archives social media intern Anna Fitzpatrick.
On January 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation brought freedom to the slaves in the Confederacy. By the war's end, the U.S. Colored Troops Bureau had recruited hundreds of thousands of black soldiers, who fought for both their own and others' freedom. The Emancipation Proclamation meant that their military victories resulted in the liberation of others.
Samuel Cabble served in the Massachusetts 55th Infantry. In a letter to his mother and his wife, Leah, Cabble expressed his desire to see his wife freed from slavery:

…though great is the present national difficulties yet I look foward to a brighter day When i shall have the opertunity of seeing you in the full enjoyment of freedom I would like to no if you are still in slavery if you are it will not be long before we shall have crushed the system that now opreses you for in the course of three months

Emancipation Proclamation: Creation of the United States Colored Troops
The issues of freedom for the slaves and military service were intertwined from the beginning of the Civil War. News from Fort Sumter had set off a rush by free black men to enlist in military units. They were turned away, however, because a Federal law dating from 1792 barred them from bearing arms for the U.S. Army (although they had served in the American Revolution and in the War of 1812).
The Lincoln administration thought about authorizing the recruitment of black troops before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, but they were worried that doing so would prompt the border states to secede.
Nevertheless, the Emancipation Proclamation, issued on January 1, 1863, did include mention of military service, although Lincoln did not call slaves and free blacks to serve as combatant troops in the war. Lincoln wrote, "And I further declare and make known, that such persons of suitable conditions, will be received into the armed service of the United States to garrison forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service."
This statement directly applied to slaves in … [ Read all ]

The Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation
Today's blog post comes from National Archives social media intern Anna Fitzpatrick.
Throughout the Civil War, when President Lincoln needed to concentrate—when he faced a task that required his focused and undivided attention—he would leave the White House, cross the street to the War Department, and take over the desk of Thomas T. Eckert, chief of the military telegraph staff.
The hub of the Union's military communication center had become an unlikely refuge for the President. Anxiously awaiting the latest reports from the front, hovering over the shoulder of an operator, he would enjoy the easy banter of the telegraph staff and, somehow, find relief from the strain of his office.
In early July of 1862, President Lincoln asked the telegraph chief for some paper, explaining that he had something "special" to write. Slowly, putting down just one or two lines at a time, Lincoln began to work.
Only when a draft was finished did Lincoln reveal that he had composed an order "giving freedom to the slaves in the South, for the purpose of hastening the end of the war."
This Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation indicated Lincoln's intention of issuing the final proclamation in the near future:

Posted on 11/03/2005 12:23:12 AM PST by Southack
Paris riots spread throughout north-east Posted at 8:20pm on 3 Nov 2005
Violence broke out in impoverished Paris suburbs for the seventh straight night, with rioters clashing with police and leaving a trail of torched cars and vandalised buildings.
Observers are pointing to France's failure to address deep problems of poverty and immigration, including tensions with its Muslim minority.
In Aulnay-sous-Bois in the worst-affected area of Seine-Saint-Denis, a police station was briefly besieged by gangs of youths while a gymnasium and a garage were set ablaze and a commercial centre vandalised.
A total of 40 vehicles, including two buses, were torched before midnight in nine towns in the Seine-Saint-Denis area, a high-unemployment largely-immigrant region. Police made 15 arrests.
Two primary schools were also damaged in the area northeast of the French capital.
The riots started last Thursday following the accidental electrocution of two youths, aged 15 and 17, who had scaled an electrical relay station's walls to escape a police identity check in Clichy-sous-Bois.
The firing of a police tear gas grenade against a mosque in Clichy-sous-Bois during clashes on Sunday also sparked rage in the suburb's large Muslim community.
We've seen more pictures of Joe Wilson's wife than of the widening riots in Paris and Denmark in the U.S. news...
"A total of 40 vehicles, including two buses, were torched before midnight in nine towns in the Seine-Saint-Denis area, a high-unemployment largely-immigrant region. Police made 15 arrests."
I am almost indifferent.... but I suppose the French could use the exercize
wow. now these were Baptists or Amish this time?
Actually French Intelligence tried to warn us ahead of 9/11. Led us to the 20th hijacker who never made it to a plane, getting nabbed. But since there was no evidence of a wider conspiracy the judge did not allow his hard drive to be searched and he had made contact with other 9/11 hijackers. I think that's how it happened.
Hello, real world breaking down the door.
oh how I do loathe leftist judges
I'd suggest you get used to it, as the US has the same policy.
This observer is pointing to the muslim minority's refusal to even try to assimilate, which leads to perpetual poverty.
Send them back to whatever hell-hole they came from and let them riot over there.
Could you explain how our policy is similar to what is occuring in France?
I think he was just trying to follow the law. Didn't expect that an insane group of hijackers would come over to slit throats, crash airplanes and try to start Armageddon. I can see how it happens.
They had nabbed him after the flying lessons were funky (i.e. he didn't want to take off or land and claimed to be from France but didn't speak French when the instructor spoke French to him). It perhaps was another that the French were on, but because of the laws of the CIA / FBI having to operate independently (for example a U.S. intelligence plane cannot collect intel on American citizens) there were legal issues. Those things are being changed but it's funny territory with citizens. The hard part is the illegals here among us.
they nabbed a terror suspect. searching his computer HD should be routine
Won't stop until the body count starts to hurt the IslamoPukes.
The French capacity for capitulation is known only by John Kerry.
You mean Val, the THIRD wife???
The French Connection, Jaqueline, the SECOND wife is the real story behind Joey's lying intrigue.
"France is being taken over as I write this.... Thousands of web pages from Islamists in FRANCE are demanding that Muslims riot all over the place starting this Friday.
The Chief of Police in PARIS is asking for a curfew at night time in all the cities where rioting is taking place.
He even said France was experiencing a CIVIL WAR...his words not mine. "

I actually like France's methods of attaining terrorists more than our own. They can hold them as long as they want if they're suspected terrorists. They expedite them through the system and remove legal hurdles to send them packing.
Problem is, France has become too depedent on the vermin.
Aren't you all glad we have Mexico to the south and not Algeria? At least Mexicans are for the most part peaceful, Catholic, and usually willing to work (even if many do free-load).
Allowing Balkanization=bad. Always. Melting pots are good, tossed salads are not.
True, but unfortunately he didn't have a terror past, or it certainly wasn't known to him. He was an unknown, IIRC. OTOH, when Sami Al-Arian was shown supporting the causes of terror abroad, they (after 9/11) looked as his "fund-raising" and found funny links on the money which is why he's on trial in Florida now. I.e. the money went directly to families of suicide bombers (4 specific checks from an account he controlled). So much of this stuff is after the fact. I think ZM was arrested only days before 9/11 so the likelihood that they would have made the connections that fast is slim.
HOWEVER, had every American seen "Jihad in America" I think there's a possibility that some of it might have been stopped. I just stand amazed 4 years after 9/11 that more of the country hasn't woken up. However, I am pleasantly surprised that many I meet are watching their towns closely for this type of activity.
Pardon my french. I hope I spelled it wrong.
They are forever labeling themselves as terrorists and thugs in many countries. That's what's amazing. The British were tolerant. They attacked. The French were tolerant. They attacked. The Americans were tolerant. They attacked.
After watching all the stuff that has gone on for the past 5 years all over the world, I can't imagine why any decent person would want to remain in that. In free countries anyways. Small wonder Saudi Arabia makes it the death penalty for a muslim to convert to any other belief. That ought to be a lesson right there.
This is an intifada in Paris.
Seventh straight day of violence? Sounds to me as if these people were prepared. There seems to be some organization behind the violence.
Don't they have some levees they can dynamite?
might be Cirque du Soleil but you were pretty close. French III (and II) were some bad days in college, LOL. Here's some of what little I remember, LOL. And I'm probably spelling wrong.
pomme de terre - pommes = apples - pomme de terre - apples of the Earth = potatoes
I can now take apart the sentence from the Le Chic song from the '70's. We all knew what it meant; now I know how to take the sentence apart.
Voulez-voux - inversion of "Vous voulez" - i.e. "you would" so inversion makes it a question "Would you?"
couchez - reflexive verb of "se couchez" - to lie oneself down
avec moi - with me
ce soir - this evening
To be a gentlemen I won't put the whole sentence together in the post, LOL. And there would be a question mark at the end of course.
"Hier soir, j'ai manger ma voiture pour ma petite dejeuner"
Last night I ate my car for breakfast. LOL (and I'm sure I spelled it wrong, too).
A very big question mark.
Last night I ate my car for breakfast.
Now there's a handy phrase!
actually you spelled it correct. and i agree that is why I asked him to explain...I cannot see how there could be anything similar...
but some people do have brain farts and feel the need to type them out..
If you get a reply, ping me to it. It's cheaper than Cirque de Soleil, and I won't have to break my boycott.
I think you are absolutely correct.
My favorite came in a little French phrase book put together for laughs.
Vous etes un ange descendu sur terre.
You are an angel descended down to Earth.
However in situations like this I would probably say:
"Zee mooselimb is burning zee car with zee molotov cocktail! Mon Dieu!"
will do! :)
If it weren't for Free Republic, I wouldn't know about the Paris story at all.
I saw it on CBS Up to the Minute 30 minute repeating news overnight last night (BION). But yeah, this thing is starting to look like an intifada. Certainly bears watching.
And this is the result of two "Mooslim yutes" (Vinny)electrocuting themselves. Imagine if the cops actually shot them.
Sounds like it worked out perfectly.
Well, they could all go to the beaches of Dunkirk for evacuation to......Uh Oh. UK has the same problem. They're f**ked!
Prepared, organized, no doubt. Those that participate in the rioting, are muslim immigrants that just will not conform to French (infidel) laws and regulations, and, being primitive and uncultivated, only respect what they fear.
Only two remedies: immediate mass repatriations, or a .30 calibre machine gun on every police vehicle.
Substitute "Mexicans" for "Muslims".
Why, our obvious appeasement to gardeners and nannies of course...
LOL! Got a sudden flashback from "The Coneheads."

Devonshire 'gutted' after match called off
Braintree Town boss Alan Devonshire said he was "totally gutted" after his side's FA Cup First Round tie against Tranmere Rovers was called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
Speaking of referee Dean Whitestone's decision to postpone the match Devonshire said: "I think he should have waited half an hour, 45 minutes to see if it brightened up, see if we could get more water off the pitch."
"What can we do? You can't change the weather or the referee's decision."And former West Ham midfielder Devonshire said he had played in much worse conditions than those at Braintree's Cressing Road stadium.
"I've played at West Ham where you couldn't see ten yards in front of you because of the snow," he told ITV's Gabriel Clarke. "Nowadays there's a bit of water on the pitch and they want to call it off."

Study links polar chills to melting of sea ice
|FILE - This Jan. 10, 2014 file photo shows the US side of Niagara Falls in New York beginning to thaw after the recent "polar vortex" that affected millions in the US and Canada. Remember the polar vortex, the huge mass of Arctic air that can plunge much of the U.S. into the deep freeze? You might have to get used to it. we should see more of these in the future because a study partially links these polar vortex related cold outbreaks to loss of sea ice off Russia as the world gets warmer. But we have to note that last yearís polar vortex chill was slightly different and not connected to sea ice loss, researchers say. (AP Photo/Nick LoVerde, File)

Oct. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Tennessee, with a 9.7 percent unemployment rate that tops the national average, will offer its largest bond sale ever as early as next week to help finance a plant for German automaker Volkswagen AG.
The $585 million general-obligation offering is to fund economic development projects for job creation, Mary-Margaret Collier, director of the Comptroller's Division of State and Local Finance, said in a telephone interview from Nashville.
The proceeds will help build plants for Volkswagen; Wacker Chemie AG, a German chemical company, and Michigan-based Hemlock Semiconductor Corp., a silicon manufacturer. The state estimates that the projects could bring as many as 4,600 jobs, with additional jobs created from ancillary development such as automobile parts suppliers, Blake Fontenay, a spokesman for Comptroller Justin P. Wilson, wrote in an e-mail.
The deal includes $106 million of refunding bonds that will save the state more than $10 million in total interest costs, Collier said.
Moody's assigned an Aaa rating to the bond sale, its highest grade, and gave it a negative outlook because of the state's dependency on federal aid. Tennessee's largest borrowing to date was for $390 million in 2009, according to Fontenay.

cam lock plate
I'm finally getting around to finishing my motor(283sbc), but I have a quick question. I am installing a summit cam and timing chain setup and i have the summit cam lock plate. Now my problem is where to instal the lock plate, I have heard of people placing it between the back of the timing gear and the face of the cam(the little tabs i guess would prevent the cam from moving into the block) and I have heard of people installing them on the face of the timing gear and bending the tabs to prevent the bolts from unscrewing?
what is the proper way to insatll thi lock plate?
Will i need any other cam button or what ever?, just a mild rebuild and want it to be reliable.
The cam lock plate goes on the FRONT of the cam gear. It prevents the cam gear bolts from unscrewing. The only instance in which you need a cam button is if you have issues with the camshaft walking in the block... you also only want to use a cam button if you have a reinforced cam chain cover, or a reinforcement on the back of your water pump, so the cam button can press up against something sturdy.
That brings you to a point where I can't give any more advice because I don't know the specific methods for the following checks:
1. determination of camshaft end play
2. proper installation of cam thrust freeze bearing at rear of block
3. determination of the possible need for a camshaft thrust bearing / torrington bearing at the front of the block (in cases of excess block thrust face wear)
Hopefully some others can chime in and add some more info.

I've done the vocal workouts for 3 days straight now. Today and tomorrow I'm resting my voice and I'll do more on Thursday.
Meri Sand has written 2 entries about this goal
To get vocally back into shape, I need to be warming up my voice and doing short vocal workouts most days out of the week. I am going to set my goal to 4-5 times a week.
For now, I'm just using the warm up and beginning workout for high voices that Ann Peckham (from Berklee) uses in the Contemporary Singer. There was a time that I did that stuff all the time and this will only take 20 minutes, so I'm going to say that my goal is to use this strategy for the next 3 months.
Once my voice is in a little better shape, I can do the advanced workout or vary it up with a few other vocal exercise cds I have. I just completed my first vocal workout for the first time in over a year, so I just need to keep it up!

Clayton Kershaw is Making the Book Tour Rounds
Dodgers Cy Young Award-winning pitcher Clayton Kershaw can add a new line to his resume–author. Kershaw and his wife Ellen have a new book out called "Arise: Live Out Your Faith and Dreams on Whatever Field You Find Yourself," detailing Kershaw's baseball career and the couple's efforts to build an orphanage in Zambia.
"I guess the book is about baseball. It's about Africa. It's about Ellen and I," Kershaw told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune at an Azusa book signing over the weekend.
FYI all you heathen Dodger fans out there, Kershaw is apparently a pretty religious guy. So be forewarned if you plan on buying the book. As one customer review put it on Amazon, Arise covers the ABC's: Africa; baseball; and Christ.

The great advantage of the short story is that you can do one in a single sitting. A little shot of pure horror, down in one. None of this laboriously wading through another chapter every night only to discover that the monster was killed and good prevailed. And if you donŌĆÖt like one author, then like a good bus service, another one will be along in a minute. This collection has the added advantage of being priced as to be virtually irresistible. So, whatŌĆÖs in store? Herewith, a brief, non-spoiling summary.
Coyote Season ŌĆō Joe McKinney
The author is a real-life lawman and consequently adds a note of authenticity to his cop characters. They discover a crumbling old tome that once belonged to a cult of inter-breeding Satanists – ŌĆśnuff said.
Doctor Nine ŌĆō Jonathan Maberry
I remember a car that followed our school bus once. It was black, and might have been an old hearse. In the front seats were two odd, Gothic looking characters, with sunglasses and grim expressions. This story reminded me of that incident as it may reveal who was actually behind us.
The Room Beneath the Stairs ŌĆō Kealan Patrick Burke
A small ungrateful little boy goes to visit his grandmother under protest. She tells him the true story of what happened to his grandpa and why the eponymous room makes his blood run cold.
Ego-Alien ŌĆō Lisa Morton
A suicide specialist begins to feel suicidal herself. And sheŌĆÖs not alone.
Just Another Vampire Story ŌĆō Jeremy C. Shipp
Great title. Absorbing, disquieting and typically Shippian (I think IŌĆÖve invented a new adjective there), a break-down in a relationship is tinged with supernatural overtones – and weŌĆÖre never quite sure where the boundaries of reality lie.
The Shower Curtain ŌĆō Simon Wood
Straight from the Twilight Zone comes this highly original tale of an anthropomorphic shower curtain. Not as funny as it sounds. Quite the opposite in fact.
The DevilŌĆÖs Doormen ŌĆō Scott Nicholson
What a nasty little character the protagonist of this story is. A neŌĆÖer-do-well, hedonistic rich kid is confronted with demonic forces from a most unlikely source.
The Last Word ŌĆō Maria Alexander
(Given the title, IŌĆÖd have put this story last in the anthology ŌĆō too obvious?) Editorial suggestions aside, itŌĆÖs a cracking tale of an old diary which begins to communicate with its owners. Only what it has to say is ratherŌĆ"eerie, to say the least.
Becoming Michael ŌĆō Joseph Nassise
The battle between the forces of Good and Evil spilling over into the human realm is a classic horror meme. But itŌĆÖs given a satisfyingly original interpretation here.
The Buzz of a Thousand Wings ŌĆō Nate Kenyon
More cops. But thatŌĆÖs not a bad thing. You might think what they discover is the handiwork of a particularly sadistic serial killer. If only that were the case.
As the US politicians say, ŌĆ£I endorse this anthologyŌĆØ. Four Black Stars.

This thread is excellent. The pics are hotter than real porno movies. A big thanks to all contributors, especially Pornoboy.
I'm more of a blunt type. My babe is most definitely a bottle type; the first few inches are easy (relatively speaking); it's that fat middle that always stretches me to the limit...
