Minister Leslie Watson Malachi: Four Years After Citizens United: A Faith Perspective
Four years ago this week, ruling in Citizens United v.

Four years later we are still advocating a point that should be obvious: Corporations are not people.

This is my current journal. The design is one of my favorites of all of the journals that I have. It's so intricate and detailed, and I've been liking the color blue lately. My favorite shade of blue is more of a aqua mint light blue, but this dark blue and gold is very classy.
I bought this journal on Amazon here.
I bought this journal on Amazon here.
I've been using this one for a month now, and it's almost halfway done. I've only collaged a handful of times in it, and haven't written as much as I was earlier this year.
I kept the inside cover more plain than a lot of my recent journals.
I've been sentimental about a lot of my old favorite places to go lately. I added in stickers from a lot of my favorite old hangouts, representing some of my favorite memories. I forgot to add in Tokyo, one of my favorite memories ever, and some older memories... but I couldn't find stickers for all of my favorite cities of my past. The stickers on the lower right are stickers from my childhood.
I do an "about me" page in almost every journal, listing my name, address, income, hobbies, favorites, and other things about my daily life. These lists are fun to look back on years later. I've included an about me/"the basics" page every since I started journaling in 2006/2007.
I made a few collages in this journal....
I've gotten more into added random stuff from life in, like stickers or stuff I got from magazines.
I used to study and relax in Inner Harbor a lot, so I glued in a photo of it and wrote about some of my old memories there. Yeah, I've been super sentimental lately.
I added in these mini stationary sets that I made as a kid. My childhood friend and I made stores for our dolls (more like each other). My "store" was called the "CEO Store".... and was under my bathroom sink.... for my childhood dolls. Yeah.
I don't usually add in stuff from books to my journals, but I did this time. I've read a few dozen books this summer, and this was one of the books that I liked.
I also added in a playlist of songs that I've been into lately.
And quotes I liked...
And movies I've seen while using this journal....
A few of the books I've read lately and liked decently enough...
In recent months I've started tracing my hands and drawing faces on my fingers when I want to fill a page, but don't feel like writing any more. I also glued in a Pez wrapper-- my late brother introduced me to Pez as a kid. And a headband from a friend's birthday party in middle school.
I glued in this "Peel-a-Pop" popcycle wrapper. My friend, quite accurately, joked that the popcycle looked like a tampon... right down to the discreet white wrapper, and the shape/size of it too. Yeah, it does. Disturbing.
I added in random crap in the back, including Lisa Frank stickers, a hot dog, an A+ to celebrate some academic achievement, my lucky numbers, a cheesy quote, washi tape I liked, and old photos in the pocket.
I've added in a "My Autographs" page in the back of my journals ever since I started journaling in 2006/2007.
I don't get other people's autographs here, but instead sign my own name. I like to see how my handwriting and nicknames change over time.
I sign my name here randomly while I use the journal, and also sign my name when I re-read a journal years later-- kind of like a "guest book."
And, some of my journal entries are pretty dark too. Even when I'm using fun pen colors...
Even when pages are dark, it's still a good way to vent and analyze my emotions.
I try to write a page a day. It's usually about what I did and how I felt that day.
I try to write a page a day. It's usually about what I did and how I felt that day.
So, yeah. My current journal is halfway done and has a random compilation of stuff from my life.

text: I am totally having a meltdown right now from work. I feel like I need some advice. I have a kindergarten class that sees me twice a week for 30 minutes for art that I'm feeling like it's torture with behavior issues. I'm finding that the classroom teacher is telling them stuff and not informing me of the "rules" she set in place. At that age range they can't handle too much change. Then when I ask the teacher what is going on she pretends like she can't or didn't do anything. I don't want her sitting in my classroom nor do I want her to tell the kids how to sit or what to do when they come in but I feel like I'm losing control. The class has 35 students in it and it feels like I'm doing more yelling than actual teaching. The artwork comes out great but I have a headache by the time it's over. I'm wondering if I should say something else to her like stop telling the students where to sit and that they will get consequences after my class if you aren't going to follow through. It just belittles my position even more. I think maybe I should just not tell her about the happenings in my class and keep it at that. Not sure.

Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Vertigo is closely related to dizziness, but involves the perception of actually seeing the room spin about you, similar to what happens when you spin around rapidly and then stop. Often, vertigo is accompanied by nausea and a loss of balance. Vertigo may pass quickly, or it may last for hours or even days.
There are many possible causes of vertigo including motion sickness, infection in the inner ear, vision problems, head injury, insufficient blood supply to the brain, and brain tumors. A condition called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo leads to attacks of vertigo triggered by certain head positions; its cause is believed to be deposits of calcium in the inner ear. Another condition, Meniere's disease, is characterized by sudden, intense attacks of vertigo often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, along with ringing in the ears and progressive deafness. Its cause is unknown.
Conventional treatments for vertigo depend upon the cause and severity of the condition. Drugs for motion sickness and mild vertigo of any cause include meclizine, dimenhydrinate, and perphenazine. Scopolamine is prescribed for severe motion sickness. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is often treated through a series of exercises which help to alleviate symptoms.1,2 For Meniere's disease, changes in diet are often recommended (including limiting sodium, sugar, and alcohol intake), sometimes in combination with diuretic drugs.
Several natural treatments have been tried for vertigo; however, the scientific evidence for these treatments is very preliminary at this time. Note: Treatments (such as ginger) used specifically for motion sickness are discussed in the motion sickness article.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 67 people with vertigo found that 160 mg of Ginkgo bilobaextract per day significantly reduced symptoms compared to placebo.3 At the end of the 3-month study, 47% of the ginkgo group had completely recovered, as compared to only 18% of the placebo group. For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full ginkgo article.
The supplements oxerutins and vitamin B6are sometimes recommended for vertigo; however, the evidence supporting these treatments is extremely preliminary.11,12
Hypnosishas been tried for vertigo resulting from head trauma, with some apparent success.13
This topic is also discussed in the homeopathy database, in the vertigo chapter.

"It's a very highly interactive event," Christian said. "It's real time. People around the country who follow these bloggers have never been to a field. This way they can hear and learn. It's a great way to get people more engaged with the food they eat."
The commission also works with three registered dietitian bloggers: David Grotto, Sylvia Melendez Klinger and Mitzi Dulan.
They contribute throughout the year, not only with informational articles but also with recipes they've helped develop.
Pairing with nutrition educators makes sense, since strawberries play well into healthful eating plans as well as diets for diabetics or weight management, Christian said.
"Strawberries have some of the lowest sugars of all fruit," she said, citing American Diabetes Association data. "It's one of the top superfruits with only 7 grams of sugar per serving, so it's quite a bit lower than other fruits."
Research conducted on behalf of the commission also found that consuming the red berries helps improve insulin resistance.
Because these benefits are not as widely known as the commission would like, Christian said it's conducting an outreach campaign to health professionals, especially diabetes educators, as well as consumers.

If you like the itinerary below please quote REF INDIA 2968 when enquiring for further details.
Alternatively you may like modify this trip with your own Holiday Wish List
Namaste! Welcome to New Delhi, the capital city of India and the start of your eye-opening adventure! Our friendly team will be waiting in the arrivals hall to transfer you to your hotel where you can relax for the rest of the day.
This morning, our Welcome Meeting takes place. An orientation tour of India's capital includes congested Old Delhi and the more streamlined New Delhi. Highlights of our tour include India Gate, Jama Masjid - India's oldest and largest mosque, Qutab Minar and Raj Ghat - site of Mahatma Gandhi's cremation.
Today, we travel by road to Jaipur also known as the Pink City. We enjoy a tour of the City Palace and Jantar Mantar - an old, yet cleverly designed space observatory.
We enjoy a stately elephant ride and visit the stunning 16th century Amber Fort. After we stop at a cotton weaving house to see a demonstration of fabric dyeing and block printing before returning to Jaipur, evening at leisure. Tonight, if you would like to head out, keep your eyes peeled for colourful paper mache puppets and traditional jootis - the Rajasthani shoe of choice.
Departing Jaipur we stop in the village of Abhaneri to see Chand Baori, which is the largest and deepest step well in the world. This incredible well has a staggering 3500 steps and is 13 stories deep. Next, we discover local life, traditions and visit the village school (if open) where we operate our 'Change for Children' programme. After hotel check in at Bharatpur and time to freshen up we visit Keoladeo Ghana National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we'll enjoy a leisurely bicycle rickshaw ride through the park.
En route to Agra, we visit Fatehpur Sikri, former imperial capital of the great Mughal emperor Akbar. Built between 1569 and 1585, it has been deserted for more than four centuries, by all accounts abandoned in 1600 due to a meagre supply of water. In Agra, we visit the impressive Agra Fort before touring the legendary Taj Mahal and witnessing a glorious golden sunset. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan in loving memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz, who tragically died in childbirth in 1631, the Taj Mahal in Agra is described as the most extravagant monument ever built for love and remains one of India's most enduring symbols.
Striking south, we journey by express train to Jhansi and onwards by road to Orchha. Situated on the banks of the River Betwa, Orchha is dotted with temples and palaces built by Bundela rulers, which we'll explore.
We arrive in Khajuraho, famed for its stunning temples built in the Chandela dynasty over a 100 year burst of creative genius from 950 - 1050AD. The carved temples display exceedingly artistic aspects of Indian life a millennium ago. How and why they were built still remains a mystery. We've plenty of time to see the temples for ourselves.
This afternoon we bid farewell to Khajuraho and fly east to Varanasi. Perhaps the holiest city in India; Varanasi, also known as Benares or the city of Shiva, is also one of the oldest cities on earth. Sitting on the banks of the holy River Ganges, it has been a centre of learning and civilisation for more than 2000 years and is a place of Hindu pilgrimage.
This morning, we enjoy a sunrise boat ride on the holy Ganges where we'll view the ancient religious tradition of ritual cleansing that takes place on the many riverbank ghats (riverside steps). Later, we embark on a tour of this vibrant and deeply spiritual city. At sunset consider re-visiting the ghats for the evening pilgrimage, remarkably different from the dawn ritual.
Bright and early we drive north and cross the border into neighbouring Nepal. Our destination is Lumbini, where we can visit the birthplace of Lord Buddha in 623BC. The Lumbini Garden is famous for the Ashokan Pillar, which offers epigraphic evidence of Lord Buddha's birth.
Leaving Lumbini, we drive to Royal Chitwan National Park. Widely acknowledged as one of the finest National Parks in Asia, Chitwan supports a population of a variety of species including Indian one horned rhino, bison, sloth bear, wild boar, deer, leopard and of course the magnificent, if elusive, Bengal tiger.
Today we enjoy morning and evening game drives in the park to spot the incredible wildlife in addition to learning all about the Flora and Fauna form one of the highly skilled safari guides.
Today we drive to Pokhara. Perhaps the most stunning of Pokhara's sights is the spectacular backdrop panorama of the Annapurna range. Although the highest among them is Annapurna (8091m), it is the fish tailed summit of Machhapuchhre (6977m) spectacularly rising behind Lake Phewa that completes the vista. Arriving here, enjoy the day at leisure to pick and choose from the optional excursions available here.
Enjoy the day at leisure to pick and choose from the optional excursions available here such as paragliding, hiking, biking, rafting and more.
Driving north, we arrive in Kathmandu. Resembling a medieval city of temples, shrines and living gods, Kathmandu is Nepal's biggest and most cosmopolitan city, a meeting place of a dozen ethnic groups and once one of the most important points on the caravan routes between Tibet and India.
Our sightseeing will include an overview of the city taking in Pashupatinath Temple which stands on the banks of the River Bhaginiti, Swayambhunath Pagoda and colossal Bodhnath. We'll explore Durbar square in the heart of Kathmandu, which is home to more than 50 stunning temples and shrines.
Sadly your journey has come to an end, we will transfer you to the airport in time for your flight home.

Think about how you vote. You find a candidate who most closely represents the way you think socially, economically, politically and thats who gets the X on your ballot. You fully expect that when that person gets into office, and is charged with making policy and voting on policy, your candidate will represent your interests.
If, say, you voted for Barack Obama, expecting that he would espouse the same liberal ideology that you do, but when he became president, he began to push the Tea Party agenda, you would be upset. Wouldnt you?
As much as we moan that politicians in Washington have become so partisan, and wail, Why cant they just get along with each other? is that what we want? Do we know what partisan means? It means a person who is devoted to a party, cause, or idea.
Politicians dont exist in a vacuum. They seek political office by appealing to the public. They broadcast their political persuasion to the voting public, and hope there are enough voters who agree with them to elect them.
A divided or partisan governing body reflects a divided and partisan population as a whole. Sometimes, the divide is so great that there is no compromise available. There are issues abortion, for instance about which people feel so strongly for or against that there can be no agreement.
Is it fair, or even logical, then, to charge a politician with bias? Do we fault President Obama for effecting Obamacare, when he campaigned on the idea of single-payer universal health care? Of course not. Thats what the majority voted for, whether they meant to or not. They cant deny him now. Can we blame the Republicans for fighting him? No, thats why we put them in office.
What about conflict of interest? If we charge a politician with that, what does it mean? When a public officials personal interests are at odds with duty to the public, or when elected officials use the office for personal financial gain that would not be available to a majority of their constituents, we can charge conflict of interest.
However, there are very few issues that do not affect our elected officials personally one way or the other. Abortion, for instance. Would we charge a female with conflict of interest on her vote in favor of abortion rights simply because at some time or another she could opt to undergo an abortion?
Democracy depends on majority rule. Sometimes we are in the majority, and sometimes we are not. If we are to accept the premise of democracy, we have to accept the fact that many times government action will not be to our liking.
Many of us are uncomfortable with argument and confrontation, and vilify them. Nonetheless, we seem to have become a more polarized country politically. That will happen when more of us hold strong opinions, for whatever reason. It may be as simple as the onslaught of 24-hour news. Or it could be that more of us have learned how to assert ourselves politically. If politics seems to have become less civil and more partisan, it is because we, as a nation, have become so.
Whatever the case, we cant blame the politician for voting as the majority of his constituents want him to. That isnt bias or conflict of interest. Its performing the job the people elected him to do.
How to fund a Latsch fountain at Levee Park
Did you see the story on page one today about plans to put a beautiful bronze statue by Lynette Power at a newly designed Levee Park? Its a wonderful idea, but it appears that to date, there is no concrete funding for a Levee Park redesign in hand, much less $200,000 to $500,000 for a statue or fountain.
If I may offer an idea. You may remember the discovery that the city owns Winnebago Island, which is downstream of Lock and Dam 5A. Apparently, the island was a gift to the city from John A. Latsch. Winnebago Island has been occupied by several river cottages since the 1930s, perhaps longer. Their owners paid rent to the city until some time in the 70s. Then the Latsch Memorial Board, which is charged with overseeing Latsch gifts, moved the Winnebago Island account, and records of rentals ceased. When the city suddenly uncovered the long-forgotten island, back in 2010, officials quickly moved to contact the owners of those cottages.
The city informed the cottage owners that they were squatting on city land, and would have to vacate the island, which they had worked so many years to preserve. There was a public outcry, and the owners have been given a brief reprieve.
What will happen to the cottages when their owners are forced out is unknown. They could be razed, they could deteriorate and float away, or the city could perhaps use them.
Wouldnt it make sense for the city to sell the land to the owners of those cabins? Or if thats against the Latsch Board rules, lease it again for regular payments. They could take the proceeds from the sale or lease to fund a lasting memorial, cast in bronze, to John A. Latsch, the man who used to visit friends in their cottages on Winnebago Island, and whose generosity has turned the land along the Mississippi River in this area into a place for people, not just commerce.

Activity from music for relief
Linkin Park comes to the Swag Store!Posted by TSG on Mon, April 12th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Yesterday TSG talked about SearchMFR.com and the cool Swag contained in their Swag Store. What you probably didn't know is that some of that Swag is now available in the Swagbucks Swag Store too! These four items specifically: You can get these items for a discount over at SearchMFR.com, but you can only use Swag Bucks you earn from searching on that site. Remember that A portion of the proceeds from SearchMFR.com benefit Music for Relief, a charity organization dedicated to disaster relief.
I'll tell you what: If you're a Linkin Park fan (or even if you aren't), I'm going to give you a chance to earn 7 extra Swag Bucks – that's right, it's TSG's second code of the day! Use your Swagbucks search to find the title of Linkin Park's debut album and the number of tracks on it. The name (ALL CAPS) and the number are the code!
For example, LETITBE12 would be the code for the Beatles' last album (at least the last one released).
You have until 5:00pm PDT – Good luck!

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Van der Sluis, Rencia email@example.com URN etd-02042009-163717 Document Title Comparison of functional domains of the cytotoxic protein NS3 of different orbiviruses Degree MSc Department Genetics Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr V van Staden Committee Chair Keywords
- horsesickness
- orbiviruses
Date 2008-09-03 Availability unrestricted Abstract African horsesickness (AHS), caused by the African horsesickness virus (AHSV) (Coetzer & Erasmus, 1994), has 10 segments of double stranded RNA (Verwoerd et al., 1970). These encode seven structural proteins, namely VP1, VP2, VP3, VP4, VP5, VP6 and VP7 (Verwoerd et al., 1972; Huismans & Van Dijk, 1990) as well as four nonstructural proteins (NS1, NS2, NS3 and NS3A) (Van Dijk & Huismans, 1988). NS3 is cytotoxic when expressed in insect cells causing membrane permeabilisation and cell death (Van Staden et al., 1995). This characteristic was postulated to be associated with the two hydrophobic domains (Van Staden et al., 1998; Van Niekerk et al., 2001(a)). Although NS3 has the same basic structure and function in all orbiviruses it differs greatly on nucleic acid sequence level as well as in the degree of variation that is found within the protein (Sailleau et al., 1997; Huismans et al., 2004). Therefore the main aim of this study was to identify which regions or amino acids remain conserved and might therefore play a role in the structure or function of NS3. The focus was mainly on the two hydrophobic domains as well as the spacer region between the hydrophobic domains.
The sequence variation analyses between AHSV, BTV and EHDV NS3 revealed that there is a conserved threonine-serine motif in HD1, a conserved aspartic acid at the beginning of the spacer region as well as a conserved asparagine in HD2. The conservation of these residues between the different serogroups indicates that they might have some functional or structural role in the NS3 protein. NS3 protein sequences in the AHSV ă phylogenetic cluster has three extra amino acids in the spacer region at aa 149-151. There is also a significant difference in the spacer region length between EEV NS3 and AHSV NS3, which might have an effect on the topology of the respective proteins. In the spacer region of AHSV NS3, three regions were targeted for mutation analyses: substitution of the conserved isoleucine (aa 141) with a neutral amino acid, deletion of three amino acids (aa 149-151), and insertion of 15 additional amino acids. Three mutants were generated and assayed: the IÄS mutant, the KGDdel mutant and the 15 aa insert mutant. The cytotoxicity of the IÄS and KGD deletion mutants was exactly the same as the native NS3 protein, while the 15 aa insertion resulted in a slightly decreased cytotoxicity. This was the same as the EEV NS3 cytotoxicity level in insect cells. The fluorescent localisation and subcellular fractionation studies showed that both the IÄS mutation and 15 aa insertion affected the localisation of NS3 within the cell and also increased the solubility of the protein. This indicated that even though the membrane localisation of NS3 was disrupted it still had a cytotoxic role in the cell. It could be that wild type NS3 has both a membrane associated and a soluble fraction within cells, and that the soluble fraction is indeed responsible for the observed cytotoxicity and not the membrane fraction as assumed previously. It is therefore postulated that NS3 might have different domains that have various roles within the cell.

Quoted from azzap It's the right protein, carb, fat ratio. If you want to remain in weight loss mode, then try to organise your meals (and thus your daily intake) around a 50% protein, 40% carbs, 10% fat intake. It will be next to impossible unless you're a competing body builder to get this 10% fat ratio right but don't worry about that, just use it as a target. 20% ok, 30% not.
Quoted from Henriette Bsec To be honest I don´t think that 10 % fat from caloris is healthy for ANY bT no offence- but fat is really important - the right fat for the right BT/GT
Quoted from grey rabbit A's do pretty well on low fat as long as it is the right fat. I don't watch fat intake anymore, but when I did (pre BTD, always trying to loose five pounds) I was never tired and had lots of energy on a very low fat diet, but yuck, like these foods much better.I don't know about GT, I'm just learning about them .

I'm asking this question rather last minute, but I just found this forum! We have four new fruit trees that we're planting tomorrow right before we irrigate. There's an Earligrande peach, an Anna apple, a Katy apricot and a 3-kinds-of-pluot (one is Dapple Dandy.) We have irrigated property. The trees are going to be in a square or rectangle, two closer to the fence and two toward the inside of our yard. One fence spot and one inside spot rarely get shade, while one fence spot and one inside spot can get partial afternoon shade in the summer from other trees and the position of the sun. The apricot tree is younger than the other three, and hasn't been trimmed by the grower to limit its height. The other three have already had some pruning attention. The apple has some leaves and flowers and the others are still dormant (the peach has a few little buds.) So: Who might I want toward the interior of the yard to make pruning easier? Who needs all-sun, all-the-time more than others? Who has the strongest-smelling flowers (that one might go farther from the house.) |
Follow-Up Postings:
The apple will need the least pruning. Others about the same. Pluot have the best smelling flowers. I'd put those where you want a nice fragrance unless allergic. Apple in the spot shaded from harsh afternoon sun. Others like full sun. Apple will tolerate full sun if well watered. |

I think the video has been removed from Youtube, but on other sites. Here is one:
How would this situation be best handled if the victim was carrying?
I'm at the point in life where I'm not interested in rolling around on the ground anymore plus my health doesn't really allow for it either. If you pay attention to the video you can see some verbal boxing going on at first.
I would make it known to the thugs that it would be in there best interest to leave me alone now. after saying that once, if they enter my bubble they are going to get a face full of Fox. What happens next is up to them but in the end I will win, I will not be rushed to the hospital, I will not be put into a body bag, a police officer will not knock on my door with bad news for my family. That I promise you.
I'd loudly tell them to back off as soon as I saw them turn the corner and especially when the first piece of crap hopped up on the sidewalk with me.
If they kept coming then that is disparity of force and I'd take care of business and go home to my family. Hopefully only one would have to learn the hard way and the others would see the error of their ways and reform, but I doubt it.
"Don't hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep." - Theodore Roosevelt
The article says there were two defenders but in the video I only saw one. If there were two, they should have stayed together and put up a dual defense.
The lone defender I saw should have vaulted the rail, and fought from the roof of the parked car. Stringing the BGs out, gaining high ground, all basic moves that don't need lots of practice.
Yes, sure, this is Monday morning quarterbacking. In a situation like that, you have to do what you can and nobody can be there for you, so I'm not blaming the victims for what happened - I never do that.
Still, the scene as filmed did offer some advantages and we can learn from the opportunities lost. Stay together, put up a united defense - two are harder to attack than one - gain high ground, gain defensive position, avoid getting taken to ground for a gang-stomping.
Obviously neither defender was carrying a weapon, but did either have a ring of keys? Mine has an ASP Street Defender, and it holds enough CS to have maced down a few of these clowns. The primary defender we see is engaged with one and can't deal with the two on his back. Some ASP in the face would have incapacitated the immediate foe and freed him up to resist the other two.
Plus, the ASP doubles as a kuboton, so strikes to elbows, temples and knees could have been in the picture. And any of us who carry knives would have been well defended in this kind of scenario. If the attackers (like these scumbags) were unarmed, a karambit would have made short work of them.
So. Lots of food for thought here. Takeaways: CS and a knife would offer adequate protection from this attack. A firearm would give more. Basic self defense and martial strategy concepts would have helped tremendously. And, of course, just running full-out might have worked. It didn't have to play out this way.

Well, since it's not academy award quality video it's hard to follow. But I think there is a point where you need to recognize that you can't get away, and something is getting ready to happen. I know folks preach not to instigate, don't let anyone think it's your fault, and don't be the aggressor. But when everything is telling you there is getting ready to be a fight, you need to get ready for it. I would not have let that guy get behind me so easily. That's the first issue. He seemed to be nearly running, so I am assuming they were already threatening him. One kick to the back of his head as he tries to climb himself and his baggy pants up the wall and you have one less to worry about. I think I could explain that action to the "reasonable man." If you act like prey till you get bit, don't be surprised if it's too late. At some point you need to send the message that this is going to end right here, one way or the other.

It appears that the victim doesn't possess any hand to hand defensive skills with the exception of trying to block his face from kicks and punches. So, to answer the OP's original question, back to the basics. Ability (the other person/s has the power to kill or to cripple you), Opportunity (the circumstances are such that the other person would be able to use their ability against you) and Jeopardy (the other person's actions or words provide you with a reasonably-perceived belief that they intend to kill you or cripple you). It appears that all three clearly existed.
I would speed dial 911 and leave the line open while at the same time issuing a LOUD AND CLEAR verbal warning to my pursuers if they closed within 15-20 yards and it was obvious that their interest in me appeared to be threatening. If possible, I would try to give as much information as I could to the 911 operator as I continue to create distance between myself and my pursuers. I would try to find cover if possible. If they close within 10 yards and it's still obvious that they are after me they're going to be staring down the barrel of my .45 S&W. If they run, great. I hold my ground and try to improve my cover and finish my conversation with 911 and wait for LE while keeping my head on a swivel. If not, Boarding House Rules are now in effect. Wait for LE and meat-wagon while dialing my lawyer.
What I mainly got out of this video is that a bunch of thugs did not hesitate to attack somebody even though it occurred in a CCW friendly state.
I can't run and can't fight,I would have to introduce them to Mr. Colt

I live in Richmond and there are quiet a few thug area's you should not go alone after dark. The bad thing is one of the most popular colleges is right in the middle of the City and they have their own Campus Police along with the City Police and crime is still causing others to look to "other" colleges because of incidents like this. Had this video been of a Black kid getting swarmed by a bunch of good ole boy whites the video would make national news as a hate crime and Eric Holder would interject the Justice department to investigate this incident. It shows all those out there who think only hate exist against minorities need to wake up and smell the coffee as there is plenty of hate on the other side as well. Political correctness has no standing when your life is at risk. I wish that poor kid would have produced a firearm and shot everyone who tried to swarm him ofcourse the libtards would crucify him for protecting himself because of the skin color of the thugs.

BOSTON - Patrice Bergeron's goal at 6:05 of overtime capped a comeback for the ages as the Boston Bruins beat the Toronto Maple Leafs, 5-4, in Game Seven of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series Monday night at TD Garden.
Down by three goals and with time running out on their season, the Bruins climbed out of the coffin.
First, Nathan Horton took a pass from Milan Lucic and scored at 9:18 of the third period to cut Toronto's lead to 4-2.
Then, with goalie Tuukka Rask on the bench for an extra attacker, Lucic whipped the rebound of a Zdeno Chara shot past James Reimer with 1:22 left to bring the Bruins to within a goal.
Thirty-one seconds later, with Chara screening Reimer, Bergeron's 50-foot wrist shot caught the lower corner of the net, tying the game and sending the sellout crowd into a frenzy.
In overtime, the line of Bergeron, Tyler Seguin and Brad Marchand - broken up by Julien for their lack of production - was on the ice only because Horton and Jaromir Jagr had skate problems.
The winning goal started with Johnny Boychuk passing the puck to Marchand, who fed Bergeron for a 35-footer that Reimer turned away. But the rebound found its way onto Bergeron's stick and he buried the series winner.
"We stayed resilient. We found a way, not necessarily the way we would have liked to play the whole game, but we showed some character in coming back. We found a way in overtime. We had the momentum and our legs were back," said Bergeron.
"Pretty crazy. I don't think I've ever been part of a game that was anything like that," said Lucic.
"The emotions of this game had us going in all different directions," said Bruins coach Claude Julien. "I thought it was a great character win."
"(Assistant coach) Geoff Ward has done a great job designing some plays with the extra attackers and we were able to score a couple tonight," Julien said.
After Cody Franson scored twice and Phil Kessel and Nazem Kadri added third-period goals, the Bruins appeared to be dead. The Leafs looked like they would cruise to their first playoff series win since 2004. Toronto led, 4-1, with 14:31 left, and it didn't even seem that close.
But Horton's goal started the comeback, and gave the veteran, battle-tested Bruins life.
Boston opened the scoring at 5:39 on an unassisted goal by Matt Bartkowski, his first in the NHL.
Lucic deserved an assist but didn't get one after harassing Toronto defenseman Franson into an ill-advised between-the-legs pass, which Bartkowski picked off. The 24-year-old defenseman, just recalled from Providence on Thursday, moved in and beat Reimer with a slap shot.
But Franson attoned for his mistake on a power play at 9:35 when he backhanded a rebound past Rask from the crease to tie the score at one.
Franson struck again 5:48 into the second period. After Mikhail Grabovski won a battle with Dougie Hamilton in the corner, Clarke MacArthur found Franson uncovered at the right point. He drove a high slapper past a screened Rask on the stick side to give the Leafs a 2-1 lead.
With a 2-1 lead at the start of the third period, the Leafs scored again on Kessel's goal just 2:09 in. The play started when James van Riemsdyk circled out of the corner and whipped a shot on Rask. He made the save, but Kadri hit the post with the rebound, and Kessel scooped the puck into the net.
Toronto made it 4-1 at 5:29 when Kadri took a pass from Kessel and beat Rask with a wrist shot. Jake Gardiner was credited with the second assist.
That set the stage for a comeback that Boston hockey fans are going to be talking about forever.
The Bruins move on to play the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Game One will be on Thursday night at 7:30 and Game Two on Sunday at 3 p.m., both at the TD Garden.

Apparently FINRA is looking into whether sell-side research analysts are doing some naughty things, which is an evergreen topic, though you might almost imagine that the current round is being prompted by the return to public life of Eliot Spitzer, who gets a quote in the DealBook article. Eliot Spitzer: not a fan of research-analyst naughtiness.
It's hard to tell if the analysts are doing naughty things but, probably, right? Basically the analysts are meeting with potential issuers before those issuers' IPOs, which is fine. But at those meetings, which tend to be arranged by "so-called I.P.O. advisers" like Solebury, Rothschild or Lazard,1 they might be talking about the IPO and the analysts' views of the issuers, which is not fine. They're "supposed to discuss only broad industry trends at these meetings" and defer to their bankers for "specific views on a company, like earnings models or potential I.P.O. pricing," because the idea is that the analyst meetings are not supposed to be used by the issuers to select underwriters. They're just a chat! It's like, hey, I'm in this industry, you cover this industry, let's talk about broad industry trends! For my general education! Because while, yes, me and my IPO advisers sitting next to me are picking underwriters for our IPO, and while your bankers are pitching us "within hours" of this meeting, right now I'm entirely focused on a general chat about broad industry trends. That's all this is. Read more »

Since 2004, Americana trio Red Molly has been bringing audiences to their feet with gorgeous three-part harmonies, crisp musicianship, and their warm, engaging stage presence. The band consists of Laurie MacAllister (bass, banjo), Abbie Gardner (dobro, banjo) and Molly Venter (guitar). This past year, the ladies were invited to open multiple shows for music legend Willie Nelson, they performed at the venerable Rocky Grass festival in CO, and their new CD Light in the Sky spent 20 weeks on the Americana Music Association's Top 40 radio chart. In 2013, the band will spend five weeks touring throughout Australia. They were also recently invited to appear for the third time at NC's legendary music gathering, MerleFest. Upcoming, they have a fourth appearance at the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, where in September 2012 the Bristol Herald Courier dubbed Red Molly "The Twin City's sweethearts", saying the band "lit up the stage, as a massive crowd of adoring fans sat mesmerized by their silky smooth harmonies and superb musicianship."

I'm new to growing irises and have a question buying them. My local garden center is having a clearance on spring bulbs and a few iris. The iris look pretty dry. How can I tell if the iris are ok to buy? I have never bought iris (I was given some, but they were freshly dug up) and the ones I see in the garden centers always look like they are dead. Lowe's also had theirs on clearance but they looked even drier than the ones in the garden center.
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't waste your time and money on dried up rhizomes sold after season (like now). Wait until next summer, then order freshly dug rhizomes from commercial iris growers. You'll end up with MUCH more healthy plants. Laurie |
Our club recently received some rhizomes dug in Sept. that were newer varieties. All the fans were brown and shriveled, some were small, but the rhizomes were firm/ok. We immediately potted them 2 weeks ago, and I left town for a week. WeÆve had a good frost when I got back, but in spite of that, I see that some are poking out some new green tips. I donÆt expect them to do much through the winter but maybe try to start some roots. However, I expect all of them to survive and IÆm sure theyÆll have a lot of green growth in the springģ just not bloom until the following year. Our club members will have to wait a year for bloom, but otherwise theyÆll get some new varieties at little cost. I often tell people "itÆs hard to kill an iris", and a friend of mine adds to that saying "unless you pay $50.00 for it". So if you decide to get some discounted irises, be patient with the bloom, and perhaps consider getting some other irises next year as well. Consider your climate/zone, as northern states would not advise planting in winter, whereas here in Calif, our ground doesn't freeze solid. |
I received a trade late in fall 2006, left it in a paper bag under the kitchen sink and came across it in February this year. It was all shriveled up and the leaves all crumbled in my fingers when I tried to take it out of the bag. I was devistated as it was a rhizome of "HONORABILE (Lemon 1840)" which I had been trying to find for a couple of years. I potted it up and placed it under grow lamps. A couple of weeks go by and lo-and-behold, little green fans started emerging from the soil! I was ecstatic! I never give up on an Iris ... dried up or not! Pot it up and see what happens! I'll bet you'll be pleasantly surprised at its will to survive!! |

Same here as Berni, I got some clearance TB's on sale very late in the season, they too looked like King Tut, dried up and shrivelled. I potted them up, gave them some water and placed them under the flourescent lamps downstairs and lo and behold they have already put up some new leaves. Sharon |

I have done the same thing--bought em & forgot em---when finding, said, well, you never know; that is a thick root---and if I don't plant it, it for sure will die---but if I do, then maybe....... Stuck in the ground (even in winter; the soil is moister than the paper bag) and lo & behold, a few weeks or months later, little green iris tops. It's no way to treat a plant, and if they do live they will certainly take longer to flower than if you'd planted them when you oughter, but hey. Late flowers is better than dead plant. As to buying garden center iris in Dec, I wouldn't. Unless they were selling them 5 for a dollar. It's a gamble whether they are alive you see. If I'd already bought it & forgot to plant it, I've spent the money & I am trying to salvage my mistake. If someone else has shriveled product, why should I buy their possibly even probably dead plants? |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sanji!
Facts about Sanji
- Breed: Shiba Inu
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Sanji's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, and not good with cats.
Hi! My name is Sanji, I'm a 4 year old pure bred Shiba Inu. In my short life I've been moved around to a few different homes, until finally I was dropped off at a shelter. I didn't like it there! I'm a very sensitive soul and really prefer being in a home. I'm neutered, housebroken, and up to late on all my shots. I'm really smart, too! I know commands like 'sit' and 'down', and adore belly rubs! I am good with some dogs, but I would need to meet them first to make sure we get along! I would love to be a part of your family… all I need is a chance!
For more pictures please go to our Facebook page at:
for adoption process our website: www.dcsir.org
email inquiries to email@example.com
Other Pets at DC Shiba Inu Rescue (DCSIR)
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sanji, a Manassas Shiba Inu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shiba Inu for sale in Manassas, or seeking a Shiba Inu dog from a breeder in Manassas.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manassas already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manassas breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shiba Inu breeders who help with Shiba Inu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manassas paves the way for another one to be saved.
