Besieged Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi on Thursday issued another rant, blaming the uprising against his rule on the meddling of al-Qaida and the consumption of hallucinogenic drugs. Libya's just-resigned justice minister, meanwhile, told al-Jazeera that Gadhafi would not hesitate to use chemical and biological weapons against his own people.
Mustafa Abdel Galil, who resigned three days ago from his post as the country's justice minister, spoke to Al Jazeera at a meeting of tribal leaders and representatives of eastern Libya in the city of Al Baida.
He warned that Gaddafi has biological and chemical weapons, and will not hesitate to use them.
"We call on the international community and the UN to prevent Gaddafi from going on with his plans in Tripoli," he said.

Jada Pinkett Smith has always been known for her very specific style: occasionally very elegant, occasionally gritty, always original, up for a risk and never boring. When one puts it that way, of course, it's not remotely hard to see … More
The fashion crowd has been calling for a Mischa Barton "comeback" for years now. Setting aside the issue of what it would mean for "someone from The OC who walked some red carpets sometimes" to make a comeback, let's all be interested and amused by the fact that Barton popped up earlier this week looking more polished than she has in a while.

Have you ever wondered what Cat Woman would look like if she were an artsy young purrson trying to make it in the big city, or what Wonder Woman would look like if she shopped at Urban Outfitters? Conversely, have you wondered what you, a stylish young lady, would look like if you were secretly a superhero? Illustrator Elizabeth Beals did, so she drew a bunch of female superheroes from DC Comics as fashion-forward urbanites. (I refuse to put the word "hipster" in the body of a post.) But unlike most things with "hipster" in the name, it doesn't seem borne out of some haterade-chugging desire to mock the creative class so much as something she did because makeovers are fun. Enjoy these drawings with a clear conscience that they are not part of the problem. And if one of them really catches your fancy, you can buy it in print form. More
Is it possible to make a doll of Brave's Princess Merida without making her look like literally every other Disney Princess? Yes, yes it is completely possible judging by the doll in Disney's store. So why are the others so absurdly different? More

So, this is interesting. Yesterday, Reddit got a hold of a bunch of "before and after" photos designed to showcase the work of porn makeup artist Melissa Murphy, and I must say, she is good at what she does. Whether her subject is young and fresh faced or starting to show signs of aging, she makes every performer over in that same eerie, ageless, Barbie-like style of which the industry is so fond. Buzzfeed got a hold of them today, and looked up the actresses' ages (which may or may not be accurate, of course) to weird it up even more. The lesson that I take from this is that while not everyone might have what it takes to be in porn, pretty much everyone has the ability to look like they are. But you probably already knew that. I am also a big fan of anything that shows porn stars as human beings and not just sex dolls, and I feel like the "before" photos give us a glimpse into the more normal, less "XXX" parts of their lives.

Have you ever had one of those, "Woah, wait a minute!" times when reading the Bible? You're slowly meandering your way through a chapter, trying to clear your sleep-fogged head, when suddenly a verse jumps out and slaps you in the face. I had one of those moments this morning.
I was making my way through Psalms 54, trying to shake off a slight headache, when I read Psalms 54:4:
"Behold, God is my helper…"
Bam! Bible verse to the face (in a good, sweet way). The words "God is my helper" are astonishing. Think about them for a moment. They literally change every situation. God, the God of the universe, the omnipotent, all-wise, all-loving, righteous, true, angel terrifying, sinner saving, God is MY HELPER. Woah. Woah!
There is no situation too great for God. There is no heart too hard for God. There is no budget too tight for God. There is no boss too difficult for God. God is your helper! He is my helper! Those four words change every situation.
Do you need wisdom today? God is your helper. Do you need strength today? God is your helper. Do you need patience today? God is your helper. If God is your helper, that changes everything.

Cuesta College is gearing up to host two Student Success Festivals in order to help students get through college successfully. The festivals will be held on both the San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles campuses with the intent of providing students with a one-stop-shop of the many free college services and resources available, along with showcasing various campus clubs.
North County Campus Student Success Festival
Wednesday, September 10
11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Ernst Courtyard, 2800 Buena Vista Drive, Paso Robles
San Luis Obispo Campus Student Success Festival
Tuesday, September 16
11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Outside 5400 Building, Highway 1, SLO
Cuesta first held a Student Success Festival in March 2014. The event was attended by more than 600 students.
"Last spring we had students tell us over and over again how helpful the event was with connecting them to clubs and services that they didn't even know existed at Cuesta," said Cuesta College Counselor and event coordinator Teri Sherman. "We want students to feel connected to the college and to have a casual and fun environment in which to meet other students, faculty and staff."
On-hand will be faculty and staff with information on counseling, tutoring, financial aid, Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS), campus clubs, Career Connections and services that support veterans, mental health, re-entry students and more. The events are being hosted by the Cuesta College Counseling Department and the Associated Students of Cuesta College.

Construction – including the removal and reuse of the facility's old racing surface and subsequent installation of a new surface to go with a series of changes designed to promote side-by-side racing – began in March and will continue up to September.
"Our goal for the track pavement project was to not radically change a venue that's celebrated by fans and drivers alike, but to utilize new technology to give us the best opportunity to create not just a new Phoenix International Raceway, but an improved PIR," Sperber said. "We're pleased with the progress made on the project thus far and are eager to present the new PIR during NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup in November."

Fans seeking a full weekend of NASCAR excitement at Phoenix International Raceway can purchase the Best Value in NASCAR Package for just $40. This inclusive package allows fans to experience three races and Gatorade Pole Qualifying in two days for one low price.
For just $179, fans can enhance their race weekend by purchasing a Budweiser ROLL-BAR and Pit Pass Combo Package for the Kobalt Tools 500 race day. This combo includes access to PIR's pit road, food, beverage and exclusive Q&A opportunities with NASCAR drivers.

The Miami Heat successfully swept the season series with the New Jersey Nets Wednesday night, capping off an impressive 105-85 win at the Baclays Center. Lebron James and Dwayne Wade paced the Heat with 24 and 21 points respectively while newly crowned all-star Brook Lopez capped a great twenty-four hours with 21 points, 7 boards and 3 blocks for the locals.
The scores were locked heading into the dressing sheds 49 apiece after New Jersey outscored the Heat 29-19 in the second quarter. Andray Blatche was largely responsible for the turn around, hitting 5-5 from the field as the Nets also kept the dangerous Lebron James scoreless in the quarter.
A spate of turnovers from New Jersey early in the third period allowed Miami to stage an 18-2 run that the Nets never recovered from. Deron Williams, playing with flu-like symptoms was responsible for the bulk of the fast point opportunities Miami was given, committing six turnovers that led to a 20-4 fast break advantage by the Miami Heat.

The Boston Celtics received some devastating news on Sunday as All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo will miss the rest of the season after tearing his right ACL last Friday night in the team's 123-111 loss in double-overtime to the Atlanta Hawks. The Celtics blew a 27-point lead in the game before ultimately losing extending their losing streak to six-games. Rondo was a late scratch prior to Sunday's showdown versus the Miami Heat and it was revealed during the broadcast he suffered the season-ending injury. For the second straight game, the Celtics played two double-overtimes defeating the Heat 100-98 snapping their losing streak. Rondo was having another excellent season scoring 13.7, leading the NBA in assists 11.1, rebounding at 5.6 and averaging 1.8 steals in 38 games. He shot 48% from the field and recorded five triple-doubles on the season. Since the 2008 season, the Celtics are 26-16 without Rondo and will need other players to step up in his absence if the Celtics want to make the playoffs for the sixth straight season. They currently sit in the eighth spot with a 22-23 record. (more…)

I apologize for the extreme length of this post, but the determination of various people to mislead the public about their pre-war stances on Iraq seems to me to require Greenwald-esque post lengths to try to document. At any rate, it would be a lot easier for me to forgive the Democratic Party politicians and prominent operatives who helped sell the country on George W. Bush's disastrous war in Iraq if they would at least 'fess up and admit that they supported a war that they very clearly did succeed. Here, for example, is former UN Ambassador and top Hillary Clinton advisor telling an audience in New Hampshire that Clinton voted for the war as a way of preventing the war:
Hillary Clinton's 2002 vote to authorize President Bush to go to war in Iraq continues to dog her on the campaign trail. Speaking to Monitor editors and reporters yesterday, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke gave a lengthy defense of that vote, which centered on Clinton's hope that Bush would use the Senate's support to avoid war. A Monitor editor asked why Clinton wasn't naïve to hope that Bush would use the vote to avoid military conflict.
"Here's why I know she's telling the truth," said Holbrooke, who was in New Hampshire to stump for Clinton. "After I left the U.N., I remained in very close touch with Kofi Annan; he's a very close friend. And at exactly the same time, but after the Senate vote, we were at Kofi's residence, my wife and I, and (Colin) Powell had just been up there, and Powell was trying to get the 15 votes at the Security Council for Security Council Resolution [1441], which ultimately passed. And I said, 'What's going on?' And Kofi said, 'He's told us that if we get a unanimous vote, we can avoid war.'
Now let's flash back to the October 15, 2002 episode of the NewsHour featuring Jeanne Kirkpatrick and Holbrooke. This is just after the congress voted to authorize war, while negotiations were ongoing at the UN. Kirkpatrick said:
A couple things to say. You know the definition of university professors -- or "people who think otherwise," you know the French are sort of "people who think otherwise." They all like to have their own position, which is never quite the same, or rarely quite the same as anybody else's position, least of all the United States position. And I think there's a significant element just of this thinking otherwise, the French position.
I think they also have like to think of themselves as having a kind of special relationship with a number of the once formerly colonial, Arab areas in the Mediterranean and they think of themselves as understanding them better, and dealing more effectively with them. And they finally don't like really to, just, they don't like to follow the United States. If it was our idea, they'd rather do something different.
In short, according to Kirkpatrick, even the French weren't opposing the war because the war was a bad idea. They were just being ornery. In reply, Holbrooke said:
Well, I agree with everything that Jeane Kirkpatrick just said. It reminds me a little of that famous line from 'My Fair Lady,' where Professor Higgins says to Eliza Doolittle, "The French don't actually care what you say as long as you pronounce it correctly."
In short, at the time Holbrooke didn't see this as a way to avoid war. Indeed, Holbrooke claimed to believe that even the French didn't really oppose war. He went on:
Now, that is a decision that will not be made at the U.N.; that will be made by President Bush. Right now the Bush administration has said very clearly they want a single resolution. The French have said they want two. President Bush's comments yesterday suggested he was trying to work with the French. I know he's been in touch with President Chirac directly. If President Putin comes around and supports it, it's hard for me to see how the French can be the lone holdout against such a clear menace to world peace as Saddam Hussein.
There's Holbrooke -- who, remember, was the "from the left" panelist on this show -- helping with the wartime salesjob. Suggest that the Bush administration may be overstating the threat? No sir. As the episode went on, moreover, Holbrooke wanted to clarify that he didn't take this UN business too seriously and was happy to get behind a unilateral invasion:
My own view on this was very clear. It was highly desirable, but not essential that we get a new U.N. resolution. It was essential for President Bush to go to the U N, as it was for him to get that congressional approval. The American public and the international public want to see a international effort. But I stress, and here Jeane and I would agree, that if you don't get a new U.N. resolution, the Iraqi violation of the existing dozen resolutions is in fact quite sufficient to justify action against an international outlaw.

Real Goods Solar And Church Farm School Energize 1.1 MW Solar Array
LOUISVILLE, Colo., April 26, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RGS Energy, the commercial and utility division of Real Goods Solar, Inc (Nasdaq:RSOL), and Smart Energy Capital (SEC), are helping Church Farm School in Exton, Pennsylvania save hundreds of thousands of dollars in utility costs, while significantly reducing their greenhouse gas emissions, with the installation of a 1.1 megawatts (MW) solar array to power its campus.
The $3.2 million project was paid for in part by a grant of $1.19 million from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. The remaining balance of the system is being financed with a power purchase agreement (PPA) through SEC. RGS Energy will maintain and monitor the array.
The photovoltaic solar system, comprised of over 3,500 solar panels, is expected to produce nearly 1.5 million kWh of electricity per year. The clean power generated from the ground mount system, installed on five acres of school land, will supply approximately 75% of the school's electrical needs and provide Church Farm students and faculty an on-site source of renewable energy and exposure to best practices in sustainability."Our students have a real life laboratory to explore and learn more about their energy future," said Head of School, The Reverend Edmund K. Sherrill. "That we reduce our energy costs along the way is an added bonus since it will redirect dollars spent on energy to our school's mission that provides such a great education at little to no cost." According to RGS Energy General Manager Tim Seamans: "Church Farm School's solar installation sets a standard for other schools and businesses to follow. Solar energy is a truly cost effective way to reduce operating costs while reducing environmental impact." Over the system's lifetime, the school will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by over 46 million pounds of CO2, which is the approximate equivalent of planting half a million trees or taking 52 million miles of automobile traffic off the road (according to the EPA calculator).

Would you buy a bald Barbie?
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 01-19-2012 - 9:41am
Have you heard about the Facebook campaign that is pushing for Mattel to make a "bald Barbie"? Parents and psychologists agree that it could be a great role model for girls going through chemotherapy or suffering from other hair loss conditions.
I only have boys but if I had a girl, I would buy this Barbie in a heartbeat! I think that having a "bald and beautiful" Barbie would make baldness seem less "strange" to other kids, thus reducing the amount of staring and whispers kids with hair loss have to endure.
It doesn't sound like Mattel is too open to the idea, though. "As the lobbying for a bald Barbie gained momentum, Mattel

I must agree with you......dolls are for time of imagination and pretending.

At first I said no, but after reading message regarding people with cancer and sing their hair, I decided yes I would. I know it must be very sad to lose all your hair and it would help children to accept what one must go thru when they have cancer and I think it would help people not to bully or say bad things to those who have to thru this terrible ordeal. Thanks for helping me to change my decision and be to quick to say no. Hope the toy maker thinks about this and makes the right choice..

A Sense of Place
It's been five months since my family moved from the edge of the country to the middle, and I've never felt so out of place. The change of season is to blame, of course: it happened quite quickly, here, on the day before Thanksgiving, when the low sky let fall flurries of snow and something else, too–a dampening of the light that makes everything look different, somehow.

Reading, Recreation, and Redemption

Notes on the Proclamation
In the fall of 1995 I enrolled in a critical theories seminar; first out of the block was feminism. One afternoon in September, I sat at a carrel in the old reading room on the south side of the HBLL and wrote on the inside cover of my reader a personal manifesto of sorts: "Why I don't believe in gender essentialism.â€? Less than a week later, I sat in the Marriott Center watching the Women's Broadcast on the big screen, and heard President Hinckley say, "Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal and eternal identity and purpose.â€?

Last soccer season, Turlock High claimed the Central California Conference crown while Buhach Colony High managed only one win in a league campaign that landed the Thunder last in CCC standings.
Coming off of last week's 24-21 victory thriller over Sonora High, the Bulldogs of Turlock picked up right where they left off taking down Enochs High, 27-8, on Friday.
It was a long, rough night for Chowchilla High on Friday when it traveled to Hilmar High to face off against the Yellowjackets. After driving roughly 40 miles to McSweeney Field, the Redskins were hard fought to cover any more ground against the 'Jackets' defense as they netted -2 yards of total offense and managed to convert one first down all game.
The Turlock High girls' water polo squad topped out in third place in the Central California Conference last season, despite numerous tight contests against league opponents, including a one-goal loss to second place Buhach Colony to end the regular season.
The Central California Conference has become one of the premier leagues for high school water polo in the area and the state. That competition was too much for Pitman and Turlock boys' water polo teams last year; but it's a new season and new teams.
Typically, football teams take the first few weeks of the season to find themselves-to fine tune fundamentals, build team chemistry, and cement a foundation for success during league play.
Pitman High hosted Lincoln High of Stockton on Friday as the Pride looked to follow up their stellar opening day performance with another decisive victory over the visiting Lincoln High Trojans.
Last year the Central California Conference proved why it is one of the most dominant leagues in the state when it comes to boys soccer. Five of the six teams finished with at least four draws in league contests, while the first and second place teams - Turlock and Atwater - were only one game apart.
Delhi High wanted the 2013 season to be different; it wanted to taste sustained success on the gridiron and compete for the Southern League title. Last week the Hawks took their first step towards that goal with a shutout victory against Galt High, and then followed it up with a second, more convincing, step on Friday with a 48-18 victory over Big Valley Christian High.
With only nine players on its bench, Hilmar High's volleyball team mirrors the look and feel of its school-small. But what the Yellowjackets lack in depth, they make up for with consistency and power.
To say Pitman High was eager to get the 2013 high school football season started would be an understatement. They waited through the off-season, had to wait through opening Friday, and were forced to wait an extra half-hour due to a delay before their Saturday night home opener-but when the wait was over the Pride uncorked.
Turlock High kicked off the 2013 high school football season in grand fashion Friday night when it hosted Valley Oak League stalwarts and 2012 Division II State runner ups Oakdale High.
The Delhi High football team won its season opener at home in shutout fashion, dominating Galt High by a score of 20-0, after an all around impressive performance by the defense.
Fresh off a Division VI Sac-Joaquin Section championship run last season, the Turlock Christian volleyball team is hoping to capture the one title that was out of reach - a Southern League banner.
It was a rollercoaster last year in the Central California Conference for local high school volleyball teams. Pitman High blazed through the conference going undefeated with a 15-0 record, while Turlock went 1-13 and struggled with a young team going through a reconstruction phase in coach Amber Castillon's second year.
The Pride of Pitman came into their second game of the 38th annual Frank Godinez tournament against Laguna Creek - which had to forfeit their first round game due to Thursday's storm -with hopes of turning things around after a crushing first round loss to Beyer High.
Another solid effort from Turlock High on the court has landed the Bulldogs in the finals of the Frank Godinez Boys Basketball Tournament for the third year in a row.
Things are finally shaping up for Denair High boys basketball coach RJ Henderson, with the help of assistant head coach Garett Elliott and the commitment from this year's team.
With football being such a rich and successful tradition at Hilmar High, it seems like the basketball program takes the back seat - especially after coming away with only one winning season since 2007.
Pitman High volleyball has been synonymous with dominance in 2014. The Pride steamrolled nearly every opponent they faced this season with its combination of size, power and speed. And when a team rose to the occasion to provide Pitman with a challenge, its girls seemed to persevere through sheer force of will.

Overall it was a good place to live. They had 4 landlord changes in the 3 years I lived there and one of them Read Morewas a real creepo. The air conditioning was useless too. Other than that I had no complaints. Maintenance was usually very timely and price was great.

Maintenance was horrible. Calling them left only a lingering frustration. The sound insulation between units Read More was awful, you could hear everything your neighbors did. For the cost of the unit they could have made some improvements to them over the years. The plumbing from my upstairs neighbor leaked into my bathroom, maintenance left a hole in my ceiling for over a month. They didn't fix my hot water heater for 3 days & not until I called their corporate offices. The windows were so old.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Too Hot for Swamp Gas' started by MichiGator2002, May 13, 2014.
AzCatFan- well maybe you don't consider 0bama your "god", but maybe he is your "hero" or mentor. He is a failed man who is the leader of this country.
Irrespective of his politics, 5+ years of him has proven without a doubt that it was a huge mistake to elect him and re-elect him. A community organizer, with no foreign policy experience, no business experience (except a questionable deal with a crook), no leadership experience (unless you call voting present leadership), no ability to manage large endeavors, but with a clear vision to fundamentally "change" America.
Well that change, abroad, has resulted in our country losing its influence in many parts of the world and created divide between us and our biggest allies (Israel and England).
As far as my "rants" against obama. Yes. But then I guess if we were taken back in time you would have accused me of ranting against King George in 1775, ranting against Adolph Hitler in 1934, ranting against Fidel Castro in 1961, ranting against LBJ in 1967 and ranting against Nixon in 1973.
Ranting against government leadership that is awful is the American Way !!!
Obama is my President. Nothing more, nothing less. He wasn't my choice in the primaries in 2008 either. I agree he was too green. But the Bush administration was such an epic failure, the D's nominated a minority ideologue and still won handily. Then the R's nominated an ideologue from the other side and lost 2012. Had the R's nominated someone more in the middle, I would have considered voting for him.
And yes, ranting against the government is a time honored American tradition. But I believe the complaint should have merit. In the case of the kidnapped girls, I've asked what others would do as President or expect out of the First Lady and so far nothing. That's because in this case, Obama and his staff, including Michelle are responding appropriately. So complaining now is nothing more than partisan whining, which accomplishes nothing but make someone sound like a little whiner.
I don't have a President, not "my President". I have always found that a troubling formulation. First heard that sort of gamesmanship during Bush and even more now. The United States has a President. Correctly, the federal government of the United States has a chief executive. Ideally, that job would have such an inconsequential effect on the everyday lives of Americans that you could flip the base name recognition people have with their member of the House vs. the President. But regardless, this person is nothing more or less than the senior most bureaucrat of a government body that on paper is never meant to be closer than two degrees from affecting you directly at all.
With all this "my"... best case, it is people turning the President into a hero figure, like "my" team/coach/favorite players. Worst case, it smacks of monarchy; "my king", "my liege", "my President". And neither of those are good.
Interesting you picked up on one thing, Michi. I was responding to shelby, who was using phrases like, "your God," or "your hero," and, "your mentor." I responded Obama was simply, "my President," and I could have just as easily said, "Obama is the President" instead of responding with the possessive. Bush was "my President" too, even though I didn't vote for him and disagreed with much of his politics.
For what it's worth, I also remember plenty of "Charlton Heston is My President" bumper stickers during the Clinton years, so it's not like the game of semantics started under Bush. Personally, I think it's silly and whoever holds the office deserves respect that should be given to all Presidents.
Which brings me back to my point. Complain about the job the President is doing when it is warranted. But don't complain just to complain. That's just partisan whining, which accomplishes nothing beneficial. And in the way the Obama administration has handled the Nigerian kidnapping has been appropriate and not worthy of complaint.
Cons are hitting new lows with the backlash to #bringbackourgirls. Didn't think they could get any more vile, but there it is.
See, I think it is pretty vile to paper over our indifference with a reference on twitter. If #GettingBackOurGirls was even remotely on our #radar we would have #ActuallyGoneAndGotThem. Ditto Britain, whose citizens they nominally are. If you are at the wheels of power, where there is power enough to actually make the difference, bleating for someone else, some Other, to take action, is the same as saying you give zero craps but want to be seen as caring.
Back on Earth, we will #NeverSeeMostofThemAgain, because anyone who could have done anything stood around with #ThumbUpCollectiveSphincter, and now most will have been made into #SexSlavesandorChildBrides to other jihadist groups, allies, suppliers -- the ones that converted anyway, the rest probably are going to be raped and murdered.
How is that hashtag thing working? See any Nigerian girls being returned?
MichiGator2002 has it 110% correct. What is vile is having all the influence in the world and choosing to do nothing about it. #whatacrockofsh*t
What more can be done? If you were President, what would you do? This is my third time asking, and the first two times I either got no response and one admission that we couldn't do any more. We don't know where they are and chances are, the girls are in multiple locations. So what can we do? Invade an entire sovereign nation over a couple hundred girls who's location is unknown? Now doing that would warrant criticism! Until then, we need to keep concentrating on finding them before we can do anything.
Not coincidentally, one major hurdle we had to overcome was getting the Nigerian government to act. Nigerian President Johnathon was reluctant at first to act, which is where the #bringbackourgirls started, and put the pressure, both domestic and international, on the Nigerian government. But I guess we have a bunch of Internet cowboys who think none of this matters, and we should just send in our troops indiscriminately until we find and rescue the girls, right?
Looks like they are about to return about half of the girls.
This is based partially on the US, EU, Britain, and France using their influence to push for a more aggressive stance from governments in the region and agreeing to provide additional training to soldiers from those government. #follownewsbetterbeforecommentingasifyouhavesomeknowledgeonthetopic.... well that one might be too long #shrug.
They are talking about releasing them. Which country would you like to invade in order to get them back, as they are likely being held in several countries. Or would you prefer to invade all of them?
I personally would prefer a system in which the fighting is primarily done by the countries in the region, as we have been pushing for in negotiations, with assistance from Western countries in building up the government's ability to deal with terrorism.
It's not about the girls for them. Just a way to attack Obama. And if we had taken military action they'd be attacking Obama for that. Again, it wouldn't matter, because for a lot of these conservatives, the girls are irrelevant.
They have "talked about" releasing them for quite a while -- in exchange for releasing some of their fellow savages... er, jihadists... er, people upset at Bush and global warming. So there really is no accomplishment in them talking about anything.
I know those attacking Obama's response are using any excuse to attack Obama. I'm just attempting to point this out to them to maybe get them to acknowledge they are whining like a 5-year old. And in this case, it isn't warranted. And whining like a little kid accomplishes nothing but annoying the people who are hearing the whine.
oh please
where was moochelle and the libs in Hollywood and the LMSM when this bunch burned around 50 young boys in their sleep the middle of April- the libs made it a political item with their hashtag bullchit- no where did they raise this sort of ruckus over the killing-burnig alive killing - of the boys- the hildabeast did not even want boko harem classified as a terrorist group
Remember who originated the hashtag movement for the girls. Hint: It wasn't Michelle. But appropriate for a First Lady, she got involved in the social media movement to bring back the girls. Also appropriately, the US has heavily been involved in recon missions to find the girls.
As for Hillary not declaring Boko Haram a terrorist group, we've been over this before. She was ready to declare BH a terrorist group but at the behest of the Nigerian government who believed putting BH on the terrorist group would let them grow quicker, we held off and just put the top 3 individuals on the list. A calculated risk that unfortunately failed, as BH grew anyway to the point where they were put on the list over 6 months ago. But in reality, had BH been put on the terror list, what would that have done to stop Nigerians from kidnapping other Nigerian children?
you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure. http://www.taylormarsh.com/2014/05/...-designate-boko-haram-terrorist-organization/
In hindsight, which is always 20/20, not putting BH on the terror list was a mistake. But it was an error in tactics that failed. Not an oversite or a serious mistake in judgement, especially since 3 BH leaders were put on the terror list. Still, I question how putting BH on the US terror list was going to stop Nigerian citizens from kidnapping other Nigerian citizens?

So your Android device has chosen to take a vacation and won't boot properly? This situation isn't fun. Troubleshooting it is even less fun. The problem could be related to an errant app, corrupted Android OS, or bad hardware. Here are the steps you can take if your Android won't start.
Battery pull
For almost any issue where an Android device won't start, I always suggest to pull the battery (if it's removable) first and leave it out for about 20 seconds. Reinstall the battery and see if the issue persists. This step may not seem like it would work, but I know first-hand that it has helped numerous Android users.
Remove hardware
If you have an SD card or any other items plugged into the device, unplug them. A bad SD card or headset can on rare occasions cause problems.
If your device won't turn on at all, it may not have enough power. Attach the power adapter to the device and plug it in. Don't use a connection to a computer or other device as the power you'd get is not sufficient to power most Android devices on right away. I've seen many users plug their device into the USB port on their computer and wonder why the device doesn't turn on.
Another issue could be the actual battery. See if you can borrow a battery from a friend with a similar device and give that a try. If not, you may want to purchase a new or used battery and try it out. Return the battery to the store if it doesn't help.
Safe Mode
If you installed software that isn't compatible with your device or have a virus, it usually causes the system to hang at a blank screen or continually force close items. In either case, you'll want to find out how to start your device in Safe Mode. Safe Mode will start the device with only the base software required for the device. This will usually allow you to access the Android OS so that you can remove whatever app may be causing the issue. Most devices start in Safe Mode by pressing and holding the Menu or Volume Down button while you power on the device.
Factory Hard Reset
If you've tried all of the above steps and nothing seems to work, you may want to perform a factory hard reset on the device. Doing so will wipe all data from the memory of the device (usually not SD card data like music or photos). There are usually ways to perform a factory hard reset using a hardware button combination before the Android OS loads. Look in your manual or search for what the button combination is for your device. They are different for nearly every device.
If a none of the above steps work, there may be a hardware issue that you are unable to solve yourself. At that point, I would seek help from the manufacturer or the retail store that sold you the device.
