It Is Finished! 16JAN15 FEMA Coffins, Camps, Asteroids, Government Stockpiling
in Christianity
There's a storm coming! FEMA has massive amount of body bags, camps, and other supplies ready to go. The government is stockpiling weapons, food, and other supplies. Asteroids are said to be "passing" earth, but the space program has been totally abandoned. WHY? There's threats of Wars and rumors of wars. Terrorism, economic collapses and all types of disasters taking place. God's Judgement is on the land.
Summer Camps and Epilepsy
in Health
In this episode of Epilepsy.com's Hallway Conversations, Dr. Joseph Sirven, Professor of Neurology at Mayo Clinic Arizona and Editor-in-Chief of Epilepsy.com, interviews Patricia Dean, ARNP, MSN, from the Brain Institute at Miami Childrens Hospital, and Sandra Cushner Weinstein, PT, LICSW, LCSW-C, Director of Services and Camps, Department of Neurology, at George Washington University School of Medicine.
With summer rapidly approaching, they will be talking about Epilepsy Camps. After the interview, you can find out more on the Brainy Camps webpage (www.brainycamps.com) and on the epilepsy.com summer camp section (www.epilepsy.com/get-help/managing-your-epilepsy/summer-camp).

Apologies. Here's the story. I got home today to find that Jim wasn't feeling well. I decided to do the show myself. In my hurry to put things together in less than an hour, I forgot to change the default of the show from 15 minutes to 120 minutes. I'm sick too and not all with it. Anyway, so what I'm going to do is to do the show Sunday Night at the same time. BlogTalk won't allow me to do it again tonight.
So on Sunday the 19th, I'll be talking about the Olsteen's, FEMA camps and the coming pandemics and how the LBGT agenda and the Islamic agenda is alike. Please listen in tomorrow, Sunday, for the show. And again, a thousand I'm sorry's. The Hosea show will still air next Saturday.
Islamic Terror Camps Run Rampant In USA & West on Voices of Global Freedom Radio
Episode #300: Voices of Global Freedom Radio interviews Ken Kaplan, CEO Top Talk Radio Conservative Talk Radio Directory on the Islamic Terrorist Camps Running Rampant throughout the USA and the West.
The FBI & DHS is aware of these Terrorist Training Camps, but President Barack Hussein Obama is doing nothing to address the immediate threat they pose. Federal law enforcement describes these locations communal living sites, a politically correct way of saying radical islamic terrorist cells.
Islamberg in rural upstate New York, is a 70 acre underground-bunkered paramilitary Islamic compound. It is a Muslim only community. The majority of these are black american born males, hardened criminals who converted to radical Islam while in prison. Islamberg is among 35 such compounds, ranging in size from 25 to 300 acres.
Top Talk Radio and Voices of Global Freedom Radio expose these USA Terror Camps before it is too late.

When: 4:00 PM (Pacific) Saturday, January, 31 2015.

It Is Finished! 26JAN15 Islamic Terrorist Training Camps Right in the USA...
in Christianity
There is a THREAT right here in the United States! A threat that will challenge our very survival as a nation. The Government knows about it and won't do a thing to stop it. While they are worried about Evangelicals, Veterans, and Legal Gun owners as being "domestic terrorists," we have Actual terrorists actually TRAINING right here on US soil. People need to ARM themselves in order to be prepared for when these Islamic Crazies start Jihad. If we don't, we will regret it! They will try to attack, when they think we are at our weakest. They are like Prey lying in wait. Luke 22:36 He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.(NIV)
Ebola and FEMA Camps - Is There A Connection?
Airing the show that was scheduled for last week, I have adapted it slightly, after receiving information that the FEMA camps may have a use after all. This is the question we have all been asking around the world: What and who are the FEMA camps for? Did the Government build these camps because they were aware of a major outbreak of some kind? Or did they release a deadly virus that they had over 70 patents for?
Why is one Government official claiming travel bans could make the outbreak worse, when others are claiming people need to be contained? Why could a travel BAN make the outbreak worse? How is that even possible?
Why are the military building FEMA camps in Liberia? Are those military personal to be allowed to return home when the job is completed?
Why is patient Zero facing legal charges against him when it was the CDC who allowed him to go home and spread this disease in the first place?
How will Madrid react to their first victim and will it be any different from the careless attitude of the United States?
All this on Fridays Commala Radio Show. The lines will be closed, but the chatroom will be open should you wish to post your comments and questions. Friday 10th October 2014 at 9pm BST.

Christmas feast for South Africa Squatter Camps
Feed the children and give them life..Featuring Sunette Bridges, Ed Begley from band Tattoo Billy Karin Smith, Giovanni Reho and more...
When I think of Christmas time it takes me back to this small little girl, with big eyes and smile that could light up the room with gladness... through the eyes of that little girl, the lighting of tree and outside Christmas lights and singing about Jesus was so amazing... then came smell of sweet potato pie, pecan pie, cakes and candy and smell of sage with our turkey and pineapple glaze Ham the whole house filled with love and joy...You can hear singing, praise and giving thank all day long, with family, friends and all love ones, the people that come over all day long, church family, neighbors... what a great feeling.
But what if, you take the same little girl and she lives in a Squatter Camps, what would her day must be like... You wake-up to your stomach aching because you have no food, there is no smells of pie, cake or turkey. There no running water, no electricity for lights, no friends coming over, and the future would seem bleak… but it doesn't have to be…
I can see the pain and humiliation in the eyes of men, women and even children. They have reached a point of no return and it has beaten all joy and happiness out of their spirits. I don't call it White Squatter Camps, I Call them White Concentration Camps forced on them by Government. It is a lifelong sentence without parole.
Please help us by giving hope back on this day by funding our Christmas feast, that would feed not one family but the whole Squatter Camps on this day, let them know the kind of love and fun we remember here in America that we whole dear to your hearts and children..
Help us to KEPT CHILDREN DREAMS ALIVE about Christmas... We need your Love gift Now..

Was Bucca A Template For US FEMA Camps?
in Pets
On last week's show, the big question was: Why is Bergdahls life worth more than Foley, Sotloff and Haines put together? As promised, I have been looking into this and hopefully have found AN answer to this question.
What was so special about the five top ISIS Militant extremists that were released in exchange for a man who is claimed, by his own colleagues, to be a deserter?
Would you be surprised to know that 3 of the five Commanders are alleged to be secret agents and the other two were resolute in their claims that they were working openly with the US? Naturally two of the five claim to have no allegaince to Al Qaeda.
Join me on this weeks show to hear more about this. Also I am asking the question:
Was Camp Bucca a prototype for FEMA camps all over the United States?
Do you know how many FEMA camps there is currently in situ across the US alone? You will be shocked to hear the truth.
The show is live at 9pm BST on Friday 26 September 2014. Please call to comment or just to listen. If you wish to listen only, please dial 1 when prompted. Listener dial-in number: (646) 716-6583.

Saturday 07 August 1999
13 Piazza della Vittoria, Capolona, Tuscany (00 39 0575 420999)
View and clientele
Pretty views from the main dining room over the River Arno, a 15th-century aquaduct and beautifully turned-out-Tuscan natives. 8/10
Design and service
A subdued interior with candle-lit tables set well apart. When we were there, one of the other diners, Enzo Ganazze, a moderately well known singer with the stage name of " Popo", held a brief jam session at the piano. The service by Paulo Pascrina, one of the owners, and sommelier Massimo Vivini, was studiously attentive, especially about the wine list. 9/10
Romance factor
High at a place like this. For greater privacy, wander on to the balcony and watch the moon catching on the lapping waters of the Arno. Or take Paulo with you and listen to the almost erotic fervour with which he describes plans to keep langoustines in a converted Roman tank. 9/10
Best table
Next to the windows. However, there are not that many tables and there will be no lack of attention.
Snoot factor
Stylish rather than haughty. The Casantino Valley is said to be the new "in" place in Tuscany. Madonna is reported to have bought a home there recently. 8/10
The three owners have won Michelin stars. Fresh fish is a speciality. 9/10
Wine list
Wide-ranging, prices varying from reasonable to those that will give one's bank manager a coronary. We followed Massimo's advice and had several bottles of a very pleasant Chardonnay Avignesi at 45,000 lira (around pounds 17) a bottle, plus a truly excellent Muscato Passipo de Pantelleria to accompany the dessert. 9/10
A five-course meal with wine for six people came to 800,000 liras. A la carte, a meal for two would probably be not much more than 140,000 liras. 9/10
Oh yeah, and the food
Despite some overly elaborate dishes, a highly satisfying culinary experience. We started off with a carpaccio of salmon and swordfish, followed by marinated prawns and a tagliatelle of langoustine and asparagus, and then came the main course: Misto alla Catalana, a dish of sea bass, prawns and langoustines in olive oil and vinegar. By the time the delicious assortments of desserts came, we could only really toy with them. Next time we'll be less greedy at the start. 9/10

This is New To Me, and I Like It...
I've never seen pips the size of my thumb, not in my own gardens, anyway. But that's how big the pips on 'Deluxe Edition' and 'Sum and Substance' are at this point in their growth. Exciting times for me in my young hosta gardens.
Two thumbs up!
Don B.
Don, now you've got me measuring pips! I love counting them to document growth. When my Sagae and S & S poke through, I'm going to measure too! Just for curiosity. SS will be emerging for the second year and should have pretty hefty-sized pips.
Are you the only one with Deluxe Edition? I'm not sure I've seen that name before yours.
Beautiful pips, Sunnywood!
You got S&S and Deluxe Edition just last spring! The growth you have is fantastic! You say your Liberty is doing well also? What a score!!!!!
Nothing much happening here. But today I was checking some of my pots and I see eyes on my War Paint. Hurray! Seeing more eyes or thicker eyes is so satisfying. I am sure you know exactly what I mean!
Thanks, NHL. The S&S and Deluxe Edition were pretty good-sized pieces I received last year. The Liberty I got in 2012 was pretty tiny. Didn't do much last year, either. Nothing out-of-the-ordinary there. Maybe it's Liberty's year to mature a bit. Fingers crossed.
A question about War Paint; I know the center variegation does fade after several weeks, but does it still stay a different, slightly lighter shade than the margin, as opposed to becoming solid green?
Don B.
I agree, new to me and I like it......
Deluxe Edition is a greenie? So, like Mountainy Man, I'll wait and see what yours looks like, since it isn't a FRAGRANT greenie.
What is so satisfying to me at this time of rapture, is that I may be able to keep them going after all!
Not all of them, for I'm about to place an emergency phone call to GreenMt and have a replacement Princess Anastasia added to my order about to ship. It is not coming back this year, and it was so NICE last year.
I miss this one, but I have to replace it. My sister-in-law the 93 year old nun is Anastasia, my DH's favorite relative, and he was so proud to tell her how it looked.
Notice it is my favorite variegation--dark green irregula margins with a brassy golden mid leaf. Here it is last August. See what I mean? Holding its own this good last year, and now zip!
I purchased War Paint late last summer, at first glance thought it was mislabelled, then realized upon close examination, especially if you tilt the leaves to catch the light just the right way, you can still see the lines of the variegation, very subtle, but still there. Can't wait to see it's spring show!
I'm with you gardens1. I can't wait to see the show War Paint puts on. I didn't get to enjoy the full effect last year as I received it when the "show" was half over.
Don, I remember Jim (idiothe) saying in a previous thread that War Paint was a two for one hosta---War Paint and then a look alike of Niagara Falls. I am really liking it so far.

OK, I admit it, when I solve a particularly confounding problem, I like to get up, proclaim "Victory Lap!" and walk around in a small circle (Sometimes two for bigger problems). I think it's important to celebrate development successes particularly when they result in helping to really move progress ahead. I'd like to share with you folks my latest cause for a Victory Lap.
My current project is requiring me to install Virtual Directory Server for HCM and GRC along with an IDM Dispatcher on a Red Hat LINUX server. Now I've dabbled with LINUX before and even run it as my personal Operating System once upon a time, but Ithink it's safe to say that I was going to learn a bit during this process, andlearn I did!
There are two important things to remember about LINUX thattrip up someone coming from a DOS/Windows background:
- Directories are separated by a forward slash ( / ) rather than the backslash ( \ ) Incidentally, after doing some research I found out that the proper name for these characters are the solidus and the reverse solidus respectively.<
IDM Default Path |
IDM Default Install Path |
Remember, even those two paths have the same basic content; they are different files since the case is different in each path. Personally I recommend using the VDS install path. I don't know that I have any terribly well-defined reason except for the fact that the VDS configuration has more moving parts in relationship to the Operating System so it seems like it makes more sense not to rock that boat more than absolutely necessary.
For all of that it was an interesting find and one that I'm happy toshare, but it was not quite worthy of taking the Victory Lap. The issues that followed on the other hand...
Along with VDS, I also installed a dispatcher for IDM.Pretty standard stuff, generate the dispatcher from the MMC Admin console, movethe files over to the LINUX box via SCP, check permissions and then edit them to reflect the new environment.I made the required changes to the shell script and tested the configuration.This brings me to another interesting difference between a Windowsimplementation and a LINUX implementation:
In a Windows configuration the dispatcher is tested by using the command:
however in LINUX all you need to enter is:
Again, not quite Victory Lap worthy, and regardless, the check came out just fine and thedispatcher fired off without a problem. However that's when the problems began.While I was able to observe through the MMC console that IDM saw the dispatcher running on the LINUX box, it would not pick up any jobs that I triedto execute through it. Each and every one would eventually time out leaving mewondering why.
what's with that %DSE_HOME% reference? That's DOS not LINUX! Made a quick search and replace, %DSE_HOME%for /usr/sap/IdM/identitycenter and everything started working!
So, what were the lessons here?
- Double check everything!
- LINUX is particular about case
- Remember the joys of multi-platform systems and make sure everything is set for the correct OS.

The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution.

I hope the feature that makes the VZW Nexus One unique will be the fact that it is subsidized on family plans.
The Galaxy S will be a force to be reckoned with. The GPU in the thing is MONSTROUS!!!! it basically has quadruple the graphical power compared to the iPhone 3GS which is known for its gaming. Galaxy S basically quadruples the graphical power of any phone right now. "According to Samsung
Twitter from Android Central: Android Central FWIW: That Sprint dev site is wrong. The Evo 4G's screen is NOT AMOLED. Repeat NOT AMOLED. (Did we mention it's not AMOLED?) 3 minutes ago from Seesmic
Google's disdain for Flash? I think your getting Google and Apple mixed up... Adobe has already shown videos of Flash 10.1 running on the Nexus One so it's coming but I doubt this is the surprise since they could release it to all the Nexus One's on the same day if they wanted to.
My thoughts are that it will be sold in Verizon stores. It also goes in line with what a couple of VZW employees have said regarding their expecations of actaully having the phone sold in stores. If that's the case it greatly increases my interest should the Incredible continue to be delayed...
This just in from "@Verizon 'When will Android overtake the iPhone? Try next month'(via @gizmodo) Http://bit.ly/a0AGdr ^@CZ". not saying that it's coming out next month. i'm jsut saying it's interesting that they would tweet this. Sorry that link doesn't work I had to type out by hand since I don't have twitter @ work.
Ok, so I tried a back door approach to finding a release date for the INC. We found some Accessories for the Inc on this site (Actually says for the Incredible ADR6300 & ADR6300 Incredible): PCDPhones Wireless Accessories All of which show "Out of Stock" of course since the phone hasn't been released yet. So I emailed them to ask when they would be in stock hoping to get a date which we could assume would coincide with an approximate release date for the INC. I got a reply from them saying "We are looking at approximately 1 month" So... that meant the INC should be out in approximately 1 month. Not great info, I know. But, I'm trying to help.
File this post under: Take it for what its worth! So here is my VZW CSR story.....it's nothing that hasn't been said before and of course it is TIFWIW.... Me: Do you know if HTC is coming out with any new larger screened phones soon? Them: Why yes, they are. Me: Can you tell me about them? Them: Sure one is called the "Nexus One"....it's says Google on it but it's made by HTC Me: Oh really, sounds nice. Will you guys have in store so we can try it out? T: No it will be sold online only but the other HTC phone with slightly better specs will be sold in stores so you can try that one out here when we get them in... M: Do you know the name of the phone you'll carry in the store? T:I think it will be called the Incredible. M: Do you know when you'll be getting the phone in to try out? T: Most likely 2 weeks or less, it starting to show up on our inventory screens and i hear the manager talking about it all the time! M: Two weeks huh, sounds good I got a NE2 to use up. T: Yeah within 2 weeks, a month at the latest! M: I'll see ya in two weeks Thats my story from today, sounded good to me. This guy sounded like someone who actually knew at least a little about both phones to know the difference. Might go back this coming weekend and see if he's heard anything new. PJ
I too own a BB8330. At the moment the trackball is about to fall out. It isn't the worst looking phone, the color scheme just made it look about 7 years behind current design when it was released IMHO. Same with the silver Verizon ENV I used to have:
This goes in line with a post earlier today on the VZW forums about the guy saying his friend who works at a VZW store got the Incredible device for training and said it should be released within 2 weeks.
You know I was thinking about making my "HTC Hindenburg" picture from a few pages back into my Avatar: ...but then I thought to myself "I don't want to watch this thing crash and burn every time I make a new post!" C'mooooooon Incredible!
u know what guys my birth day is tomorrow so if everyone would hit the thanks button i will take it as birthday wishes. and would appreciate it
Is this a ploy just so you can get some street cred by getting your thanks/posts ratio elevated? ...Just kidding, happy birthday!
I have a great deal of street cred, as you put it and as you can see by my thanks.. the truth is that I never say anything important, so it's really a sham.

By Carmen Gonzalez Even as cloud and managed services grow increasingly central to business strategy and performance, challenges remain. The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution. Understandably so: a lot can go wrong when you allow valuable information to live outside the firewall. Recent revelations about government snooping, along with a steady stream of well-publicized data breaches, only add to the uncertainty Mar. 5, 2015 11:15 AM EST Reads: 908 |
By Liz McMillan The explosion of connected devices / sensors is creating an ever-expanding set of new and valuable data. In parallel the emerging capability of Big Data technologies to store, access, analyze, and react to this data is producing changes in business models under the umbrella of the Internet of Things (IoT). In particular within the Insurance industry, IoT appears positioned to enable deep changes by altering relationships between insurers, distributors, and the insured.

By Elizabeth White The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly in the process of breaking from its heretofore relatively obscure enterprise applications (such as plant floor control and supply chain management) and going mainstream into the consumer space. More and more creative folks are interconnecting everyday products such as household items, mobile devices, appliances and cars, and unleashing new and imaginative scenarios. We are seeing a lot of excitement around applications in home automation, personal fitness, and in-car entertainment and this excitement will bleed into other areas. On the commercial side, m...

By Elizabeth White PubNub on Monday has announced that it is partnering with IBM to bring its sophisticated real-time data streaming and messaging capabilities to Bluemix, IBM's cloud development platform.
"Today's app and connected devices require an always-on connection, but building a secure, scalable solution from the ground up is time consuming, resource intensive, and error-prone," said Todd Greene, CEO of PubNub. "PubNub enables web, mobile and IoT developers building apps on IBM Bluemix to quickly add scalable realtime functionality with minimal effort and cost." Mar. 5, 2015 10:00 AM EST Reads: 4,995 |
By Liz McMillan Sensor-enabled things are becoming more commonplace, precursors to a larger and more complex framework that most consider the ultimate promise of the IoT: things connecting, interacting, sharing, storing, and over time perhaps learning and predicting based on habits, behaviors, location, preferences, purchases and more.

By Jon McNeill Every innovation or invention was originally a daydream. You like to imagine a "what-if" scenario.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

This mini review discusses several key technical issues associated with cellulosic ethanol production from woody biomass: energy consumption for woody biomass pretreatment, pretreatment energy efficiency, woody biomass pretreatment technologies, and quantification of woody biomass recalcitrance. Both total sugar yield and pretreatment energy efficiency, defined as the total sugar recovery divided by total energy consumption for pretreatment, should be used to evaluate the performance of a pretreatment process. A post-chemical pretreatment wood size-reduction approach was proposed to significantly reduce energy consumption. The review also emphasizes using a low liquid-to-wood ratio (L/W) to reduce thermal energy consumption for any thermochemical/physical pretreatment in addition to reducing pretreatment temperature.

List of United States Supreme Court cases involving mental health
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (December 2012) |
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Needs sectioning and formatting attention. (December 2012) |
The U.S. Supreme Court has issued numerous rulings regarding mental health and how society treats and regards the mentally ill. While some rulings applied very narrowly, perhaps to only one individual, other cases have had great influence over wide areas.
Year | Case | Ruling | Right |
1999 | Albertsons Inc. v. Kirkingburg | the Court held that not all individuals who suffer some sort of physical difficulty are per se "disabled" under the ADA. Instead, those who believe they suffer from a disability must prove their claim on a case-by-case basis by showing that their alleged disability substantially impacts on a major life activity | ??? |
Criminal competency[edit]
Year | Case | Ruling | Right |
1960 | Dusky v. United States | Affirming a criminal defendant's constitutional right to have a competency evaluation before proceeding to trial, and setting the standard for determination of such competence. | BOR, 14th |
1966 | Pate v. Robinson | A hearing regarding competency is necessary under the due process clause of the Constitution of the United States. | BOR, 14th |
1972 | Jackson v. Indiana | Criminal defendants who have been found incompetent to stand trial are not permitted to be held indefinitely. There must be some possibility of becoming competent in a reasonable amount of time | BOR, 14th |
1975 | Drope v. Missouri | When deciding whether to evaluate a criminal defendant's competency, the court must considered any evidence suggestive of mental illness, even one factor alone in some circumstances. Therefore, the threshold for obtaining a competency evaluation is low. When the issue is raised, the motion should be granted. The defendant must not bear all the burden for raising the issue. | BOR, 14th |
1985 | Ake v. Oklahoma | Indigent criminal defendants have a right to a competency evaluation | BOR, 14th |
1996 | Cooper v. Oklahoma | the burden for proving incompetency is only preponderance; due process would be violated if the burden is required to be carried by clear and convincing evidence. |
Death penalty[edit]
Year | Case | Ruling | Right |
1976 | Profitt v. Florida | Permitted comparison of mitigating (including mental health reasons) and aggravating factors to decide death penalty decisions. See also Furman v. Georgia (1972), and Gregg v. Georgia (1976)) | 1st |
1986 | Ford v. Wainwright | Preventing the execution [capital punishment] of the insane, requiring an evaluation of competency and an evidentiary hearing | 8th |
1989 | Penry v. Lynaugh | Executing persons with mental retardation is not a violation of the Eighth Amendment. (Overturned in Atkins v. Virginia (2002)) | 8th |
1993 | Godinez v. Moran | Competency to stand trial includes the abilities to plead guilty and to waive the right to counsel | 1st |
2002 | Atkins v. Virginia | The execution of mentally retarded defendants violates the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. | 8th |
2005 | Roper v. Simmons | In a ruling that followed Wainright (in assessing the nature of cruel and unusual punishments), children may not be given the death penalty | 1st |
2010 | Graham v. Florida | Likewise, children may not be given life sentences (without possibility of parole) for offenses that do not include murder | 1st |
Year | Case | Ruling | Right |
