Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl To Be Charged With Desertion … Attorney Has Received "Charge Sheet" … Obama Admin Keeping Details Hidden From the Public (Update: Pentagon Denies Desertion Assertion)
According retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl will be charged with desertion. Shaffer, senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research, said to Bill O'Reilly on The O'Reilly Factor that Bergdahl's attorney has received the "charge sheet" from the Army describing the desertion charges. However, mum is the word from the Obama administration. According to many sources, including those who served with him, Sgt. Bergdahl left his unit in Afghanistan without permission in 2009 and was captured by the Taliban. Bergdahl was called a deserter, not a hero. Bergdahl was held prisoner by the Taliban for five years. Bergdahl was released in a prisoner exchange for the GITMO 5. This was already an unpopular decision, according to the American people, let's see how Barack Obama spins his way out of this one. Obama's military hero is a deserter.
Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was reportedly held captive by Taliban militants for five years, will be charged with desertion for leaving his post, according to sources of retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer. Bergdahl was only released after President Barack Obama negotiated with the terrorists, agreeing to release five prisoners from Guantanamo Bay.
Shaffer, senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research, told Bill O'Reilly on Monday night that his sources have confirmed the Army has concluded its investigation and Bergdahl's lawyer has been given a "charge sheet" informing him of the desertion charge.
Shaffer also said the Obama administration has been keeping details on the desertion charges hidden from the public. He personally placed blame on Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy national security advisor.
The Army has come to its conclusion and Bowe Bergdahl will be charged with Desertion:
Mr. Shaffer also accused the Obama administration of trying to keep the detail of Sgt. Bergdahl's charges hidden.
"This is shaping up to be a titanic struggle behind the scenes," he said. "Believe me, the Army here wants to do the right thing … And the White House, because of the political narrative, President Obama cozying up to the parents and because he, President Obama, releasing the five Taliban … The narrative is what the White House does not want to have come out."
UPDATE I: Pentagon Denying that any decision has been made.
Sadly, the Pentagon is acting as a political shill of the WH rather than what their intended purpose is for. The Pentagon is basically calling retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer a liar when they know damn well its the truth. The investigation into Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is over and it is obvious that he was a deserter. The Pentagon and WH will have egg on their face.
That accusation had resulted in a strong denial from the Pentagon earlier in the day.
"They said there's no time limit on this decision. (Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John) Kirby even said there's no pressure … Of course, the moment you say that, there's pressure," said Shaffer, who works at the London Center for Policy Research. "What they didn't say was more compelling than their denial."
Shaffer, who believes the White House's alleged decision to delay its announcement is politically motivated, added that he stands by "all of those facts," referring to his report on Monday that Bergdahl's lawyer has been given a statement of charges.
Maj. Gen. Ronald F. Lewis, the Army's chief of public affairs, put out a statement Tuesday afternoon calling the reports, including a similar one by NBC News, "patently false."
"To be clear there have been no actions or decisions on the Sgt. Bergdahl investigation," he said. "The investigation is still with the commanding general of U.S. Army Forces Command who will determine appropriate action — which ranges from no further action to convening a court martial."

Uber-Liberal Bill Maher Calls American Sniper Chris Kyle a "Psychopath Patriot" on HBO's 'Real Time'
Bill Maher calls American hero Chris Kyle a "Psychopath Patriot". The only redeeming quality of far-Left comedian Bill Maher was that he got terrorism, radical Islam and the Islamo-fascist killers who would sooner cut some ones head off than say hello. Or at least we thought. During the latest episode of HBO's 'Real Time,' Bill Maher came out in his condescending tone, "The Hurt Locker made 17 million because it was a little ambiguous and thoughtful, and this one [the movie America Sniper] is just American hero, he's a 'Psychopath Patriot' and we love him" Why, because that's what liberals do, they mock American heroes because they hate the military. Even though Maher has ripped radical Islam in the past, to the horror of the radical LEFT, it would appear that Maher cannot support an actual American hero he made a difference in killing murderous Islamists.
Maher quoted Chris Kyle stating, "I hate the damn savages" and I love killing bad guys". Maher then said, that doesn't seem like a Christian thing to say. Wow really, an atheist like Maher is going to judge an individual it was to be a sniper, to kill the enemy, in order to protect Americans. Welcome to the hateful liberal mindset. Left Howie Dean tried to pile on and make a comparison that there is a lot of anger in the country and the people going to see the movie are angry Tea Party folk. Really Howie? This from Howie "I have a scream" Dean, you seem like a little hate-filled man yourself. Did we also say clueless? American Sniper is #1 at the box office again this week, bringing in over $200 million. Wow Howie, who knew there were that many Tea Party people out there. You better hope not.
This guy (the late Chris Kyle) basically says, 'I'm going to fight on your side. I bet you if you looked at the cross-section of the tea party and people who see this movie there's a lot of intersection."
But a funny thing happened after Maher made is mocking and snarly comments regarding Chris Kyle, his guets turned against him. Two of Maher's guests made the case that there is nuance in the movie, and that it's not just about "killing savages." They stated, it's about the horror of war, the moral struggles a sniper faces and the battle with PTSD that rages on the home front.
"I can't believe you came away with that impression of the film," Mr. Stephens said to Mr. Maher. "What I saw was a movie that treats what veterans and soldiers go through in way that was subtle. It was not just about war it was about PTSD. It's about what the wives of soldiers go through. And by the way the savages he's talking about aren't ordinary Iraqis, the savages are al Qaeda killers who put drills into children to enforce orders."
Comedian Bill Burr backed up Mr. Stephens, telling Mr. Maher "You can't sum up a man by one quote taken out of context."
Bill Maher, calls Chris Kyle, American Sniper, a 'Psychopath Patriot'
VIDEO – (content warning: strong language)
Is "American Sniper" just a mindless, pro-war action movie with a "psychopath" hero?
That's what one liberal claimed — but he was quickly contradicted by his own guests.
Bill Maher, host of HBO's "Real Time," came out swinging against the blockbuster "American Sniper" on his show Friday night, complaining that the film doesn't show any nuance and merely presents sniper Chris Kyle as an American hero.
"'He's a psychopath patriot and we love him,'" Maher said mockingly of the thousands of Americans who flocked to see the film.
EXIT QUESTION: I wonder if the only thing that separated Bill Maher from be beheaded by a savage radical Islamist was a sniper's bullet if he would consider that sniper a "Psychopath Patriot"?

U.S. Airstrikes Kill 3 Top ISIS Leaders (Haji Mutazz, Abd al Basit & Radwan Talib)
U.S. airstrikes have killed two top-level and one mid-level ISIS leader, Haji Mutazz was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's deputy in Iraq; Abd al Basit was his military emir in Iraq; and Radwan Talib was his Mosul emir.
U.S. airstrikes have killed two top-level and one mid-level ISIS leader, a senior U.S. military official tells CNN.
Haji Mutazz was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's deputy in Iraq; Abd al Basit was his military emir in Iraq; and Radwan Talib was his Mosul emir. Their deaths resulted from multiple strikes going back to mid-November — it has taken until now to determine conclusively they were killed.
"I can confirm that since mid-November, targeted coalition airstrikes successfully killed multiple senior and mid-level leaders within the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant," said Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby, in a statement on Thursday.
"We believe that the loss of these key leaders degrades ISIL's ability to command and control current operations against Iraqi Security Forces, including Kurdish and other local forces in Iraq," he said.

Pearl Harbor Day 2014: 73rd Anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor … December 7th, 1941, a Date That Will Forever Live in Infamy
Pearl Harbor Day 2014 … December 7th, 1941, a Date That Will forever Live in Infamy …
Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the day the United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked the Empire of Japan and the United States would never be the same. We remember those brave men and women that died that fateful day. And we honor those that survived and fought on to defend the United States, freedom and liberty. The reprehensible and treacherous sneak act unified a country and awoke a sleeping giant that provided the resolve to win a war against the evil Axis. It was that resolve, leadership and focus on the enemy that enabled the United States and its Allies to victory.
God Bless the heroism of Our Greatest Generation!
USS Arizona Under Attack at Pearl Harbor
Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy – the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with the government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific.
Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleagues delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.
It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. This morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.
Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.
As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.
Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces – with the unbounded determination of our people – we will gain the inevitable triumph – so help us God.
I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December seventh, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."
UPDATE I: Pearl Harbor survivors reunite in Hawaii to mark 73rd anniversary of attack.
More than a dozen Pearl Harbor survivors, each more than 90 years old, gathered in Hawaii this week to share stories as they marked the 73rd anniversary of the Japanese attack that killed 2,400 sailors, Marines and soldiers.
The gathering has been called the last meeting for the USS Arizona Reunion Association – comprised of the remaining nine survivors of the USS Arizona, a battleship that sank in the Dec. 7, 1941, attack.
But Louis Conter isn't ready to talk about the end.
"I don't think this is going to be our last. … We've still got time to go," said Conter, 93, of Grass Valley, Calif. "We'll be back out here no matter whether the rest of the crowd can make it or not."

Emotional Tribute to Our Veterans: For Our Freedom, Honor and Country … I Fought For You
WOW, this might be one of the best tributes ever to our military, our heroes, our veterans.
It starts out with a grandfather saying to his two grandsons, "some people have short memories and those who are too young to know need to be taught". The two young kids obviously had no clue what he was saying. By the videos end, they totally understood.
God bless the brave men and woman of our Armed forced who sacrifice so much for our freedom.

A Veterans Day Prayer from President Ronald Reagan
Since our current president was in China and too busy to lay a wreath at The Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetary, maybe a prayer from a true Commander in Chief is required. The following is a prayer from President Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Says Senate Control Hinges on Iowa … Des Moines, Iowa Poll Says Republican Joni Ernst Up by 7 Over Bruce Braley
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says that if Republican challenger Joni Ernst wins the Iowa Senate race against Bruce Baily, I mean Braley, then the Democratic can kiss the US Senate majority goodbye. Truth be told, that is not entirely true as Iowa was never initially considered a Senate seat that was in play for the GOP to win a net 6 seats to gain control of the Senate. However, an Ernst win in the "Hawkeye" state probably means that the GOP will win more than a net six seats. However, that being said and if that is what Harry Reid really believes, then Reid could not have been too happy with the final Des Moines Register Iowa poll before Tuesday's election that shows that Ernst with a 7 point advantage, 51% to 44% over Braley. Did Ernst really just break the critical majority threshold and put this race away, or is this poll an outlier as the Braley camp is praying. However, even Democrats fear that Iowa is slipping away.
If Joni Ernst beats Rep. Bruce Braley in Iowa on Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he expects to kiss the Democratic majority goodbye.
The Nevada Democrat said if Braley wins in Iowa, Democrats will do "just fine." And if they lose? Say hello to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Reid said in a conference call Saturday with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.
"Joni Ernst would mean — coming to the United States Senate — that Mitch McConnell would be leader of the United States Senate, who agrees with her on everything.
Retired Command Sgt. Major, Chris Fox, was one of the 150 Iowa soldiers Joni Ernst led into Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Hear what Chris has to say about Joni in this latest ad.
Des Moines Register Iowa poll:
• Although a small plurality of likely voters thinks Braley has more depth on the issues, they like Ernst better than Braley on several character descriptions. They think she better reflects Iowa values, she cares more about people like them, and she's more of a regular, down-to-earth person.
• Voters find Ernst, who has led Iowa troops in war, to be a reassuring presence on security issues, the poll shows. In the wake of news developments on the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, increasing aggressiveness of Russia and the rise of the Islamic State in the Middle East, more likely voters see Ernst as better equipped than Braley to show leadership and judgment, by at least 9 points on each issue.
• Independent voters are going Ernst's way, 51 percent to 39 percent.
• The negativity in the race has hurt Braley more than Ernst. Forty-four percent say he has been more negative in campaign ads, compared with 32 percent for Ernst.
• Among several potential mistakes the two candidates have made, the one that stands out is Braley's seemingly condescending remark about Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley. In March, GOP operatives released caught-on-tape remarks Braley made at a private fundraiser in Texas that seemed to question the qualifications of "a farmer from Iowa without a law degree" to become the next chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
From RCP comes the graphic below that shows the US Senate races in play that show the many possibilities how the GOP pick up a net 6 seats to take control of Senate. Keep in mind that the Open Democrat seats in South Dakota and West Virginia are likely GOP and the Open Democrat seat in Montana is considered Safe GOP. Thus, the Republicans only need a net pickup of 3 seats from the ones below.
Please IOWA … retire Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader!!!
UPDATE I: In the latest FiveThirtyEight Senate forecast, Democrats still have a 27 percent chance of holding on to control of the chamber.
In the latest FiveThirtyEight Senate forecast, Democrats still have a 27 percent chance of holding on to control of the chamber. But the more pressing question now may be the size of the Republican majority come next Congress. New polls out this weekend suggest that Republicans may not just win the six seats they need for control, but quite possibly eight seats — Republicans now have a 41.4 percent chance of doing just that.
Why? Let's look at the map.
As for Iowa, Nate already spoke about the importance of the Des Moines Register poll that came out Saturday night, which showed Republican Joni Ernst up 51 to 44 percent over Democrat Bruce Braley. Even if that poll is too optimistic for Ernst, she has been ahead in the vast majority of public polls taken in October. FiveThirtyEight gives her a 71 percent chance to win.
But can Republicans hold on to Georgia and Kentucky? The answer, increasingly, looks to be yes.
UPDATE II: Democrats trotted out Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton to stop Joni Ernst … and she Widened her poll Lead.
The big political news today is that the last pre-election Iowa poll conducted on behalf of the Des Moines Register shows Ernst opening up a 7-point lead over Braley among likely voters. Jennifer Jacobs reports on the poll results here and adds 10 interesting takeaways from the poll here. The poll's margin of error is 3.7 percent. Ernst's lead is still within the poll's margin of error, but the movement seems to be significant and in her direction.
You have to wonder if the late movement doesn't signify such movement in other similar races around the country. In October the Democrats pulled out all the stops for Braley. They kept Barack Obama away from the state. They threw Michelle Obama out to prop up Braley, not once (hey, give it up for her good friend "Bruce Bailey"), but twice. They threw out Hillary Clinton.
They even threw out the Big Dog himself. They brought in Bill Clinton to argue on Braley's behalf that we would "grow together" with Bruce.

Mexican Judge Orders U.S. Marine Veteran Andrew Tahmooressi be Freed from Mexican Jail
Judge Victor Octavio Luna Escobedo of the Sixth Federal District Court in Tijuana ordered the immediate release of a U.S. Marine veteran Andrew Tahmooressi, who was being held in a Mexican jail on possession of weapons charges. Tahmooressi had been jailed since March 31, 2014 when he accidentally crossed the US/Mexican border with ammunition and three loaded weapons. The judge ordered his release on humanitarian grounds and dismissed the case on the grounds that were that Tahmooressi was unfit to stand trial because he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.
VIDEO – CBS News
A Mexican federal district judge in Tijuana on Friday ordered the immediate release of a U.S. Marine veteran being held in Baja California on federal weapons charges.
Andrew Tahmooressi, who was on trial for crossing the border with ammunition and three loaded weapons on March 31, returned to the United States Friday night and flew to his family's home in Florida.
The decision by the Mexican Attorney General's Office to cease its prosecution of Tahmooressi brings to a close a high-profile case that has resounded far beyond the border.
In the United States, it prompted calls for Tahmooressi's release from politicians, veterans groups and conservative talk show hosts. But for months there had been an impasse, as Mexican federal prosecutors insisted that the case be resolved through the courts — not through diplomatic or political pressure.
U.S. Marine reservist freed from Mexican prison, arrives in San Diego
Mexico freed U.S. Marine reservist Sgt. Andrew Paul Tahmooressi, who'd been held in a prison there for seven months.
Tahmooressi boarded a flight for Miami from San Diego.
"It is with an overwhelming and humbling feeling of relief that we confirm that Andrew was released today after spending 214 days in Mexican jail," relatives said in a statement Friday night.
Tahmooressi family spokesman Jonathan Franks said Friday night in a statement: "The family is overjoyed. They are asking for privacy at this time."
The court said it found no cause to prosecute Tahmooressi on charges of carrying two firearms used exclusively by the military, possessing cartridges used exclusively by the military and carrying a firearm without a license
The court also recommended he be treated for post-traumatic stress disorder.
Reactions following Andrew Tahmooressi's release:
"It's a victory for American veterans," said former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who had talked to Mexican officials to urge them to release retired Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi on humanitarian grounds. "It's a victory for the United States."
U.S. Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he was "elated" by the news and that his PTSD will be treated by specialists in the United States. He had met with Tahmooressi in jail and talked to Mexico's Jesus Murillo Karam about the case.

The Dallas Cowboys had expressed interest in acquiring QB Ryan Mallett from the New England Patriots before he was traded to the Houston Texans.
The Dallas Cowboys had expressed interest in acquiring QB Ryan Mallett from the New England Patriots before he was traded to the Houston Texans.
Free-agent WR Greg Jennings (Vikings) visited the Carolina Panthers Tuesday, March 31, and he tweeted he has a deal done. However, a source is reporting that the deal is not with the Panthers.
Toronto Blue Jays SP Daniel Norris will be part of the team's rotation, although the club has declined to give an exact order of its starting pitchers. Norris will be part of a staff which includes SPs Mark Buehrle, R.A. Dickey, Drew Hutchison and Aaron Sanchez. The expectation is that Norris will work as the team's No. 3 starter to get a crack at the lefty-heavy lineup of the New York Yankees in the first week.
Toronto Blue Jays SP Aaron Sanchez will work in the team's rotation, although the team has declined to announce the order of its starting pitchers. Sanchez joins SPs Mark Buehrle, R.A. Dickey, Drew Hutchison and Daniel Norris in the rotation.
Toronto Blue Jays SP Drew Hutchison has been named the team's opening day starter. He'll take the ball Monday, April 6, against the New York Yankees. 'It's really exciting, opening day is special,' Hutchison said. 'At the end of the day, it's one game but as we all know it's opening day. The excitement, the energy that goes into it, it's exciting; so I'm really looking forward to the day and I'm just humbled and honored.'
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim SP Jered Weaver is expected to serve as the team's starter on opening. In what might have been his final tuneup of the spring he worked 6 1/3 innings in a minor league game Tuesday, March 31, allowing two runs with four hits and five strikeouts.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim SP C.J. Wilson had a disappointing season in 2014, going 13-10 with a 4.51 ERA. However, he has pitched well in the spring with a 2.31 ERA in three Cactus League appearances, and manager Mike Scioscia expects a bounce back season. 'I think he's throwing the ball as well as I've seen him throw it, which brings you back to either the start of last year or a couple of years ago,' Scioscia said Tuesday, March 31. 'I think that a lot of the second-half issues – from the health to consistency to release point – have been resolved. I look for a big year from C.J.'
Detroit Pistons G John Lucas III finished with 15 points in 21 minutes Tuesday, March 31, against the Atlanta Hawks.

Baker Single Action Hand Slot Stone Ultra Fine
Product #: 931648 Baker #: 61463686070 UPC #: 6807001860701
Product Information
These stones are specifically shaped for one operation on a single action revolver, and are the perfect tool for smoothing out the roughness that often exists within a revolver's frame as a result of high volume manufacturing. With a few passes of Baker's hand slot and hammer stones, it is possible to both reduce a single action's cocking effort and create a smoother, lighter feeling trigger pull. Medium stones are useful for making quick cuts on rough surfaces, while fine and ultra-fine stones are best for polishing.
Technical Information
Stone is specifically shaped for one operation on a single action revolver.

CIA director says scenes in 'Zero Dark Thirty' are inaccurate
Washington isn't done blasting "Zero Dark Thirty" and its portrayal of torture. Now CIA director Michael Morell, standing in after the resignation of General David Petraeus, is speaking out on the film in a statement to CIA staff.
The film shows features scenes of torture as being effective in the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Controversy has erupted over what many saw as the film "apologizing" for use of torture in the manhunt. The uproar may have had unintended consequences, aiding in the marketing efforts of the film, which brought in $82,000 per screen over the weekend.
Morell released a statement to all CIA employees, which is also available on the Agency's website.
"I would not normally comment on a Hollywood film but I think it important to put Zero Dark Thirty, which deals with one of the most significant achievements in our history, into some context," said Morell in the statement.
"The film, which premiered this week, addresses the successful hunt for Usama Bin Ladin that was the focus of incredibly dedicated men and women across our Agency, Intelligence Community, and military partners for many years. But in doing so, the film takes significant artistic license, while portraying itself as being historically accurate."
"What I want you to know is that Zero Dark Thirty is a dramatization, not a realistic portrayal of the facts. CIA interacted with the filmmakers through our Office of Public Affairs but, as is true with any entertainment project with which we interact, we do not control the final product."
Late last week Senate leaders spoke out against the torture scenes in the Kathryn Bigelow-directed film. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.), Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) sent a letter to Sony Pictures chief Michael Lynton stating: "We write to express our deep disappointment with the movie 'Zero Dark Thirty.' We believe the film is grossly inaccurate and misleading in its suggestion that torture resulted in information that led to the location of Usama bin Laden."

You're trying to offer DDOS (Disk Delivery Overseas Service) to Russia?
That system is what strangles middle class - it's very hard to run a small business there, because bigger fish will always seek to swallow the smaller ones, and they have plenty of money to bribe the bureaucrats with.
I guess, you didn't get the memo -- in US "middle class" means "all people between about 150% and 2000% average income", in Russia "middle class" means "people who generate income from property but can't manipulate the market through their property".
I can assure you, small businesses in US are thoroughly fucked in all areas where it is possible to run a big business. "Middle class" mostly consists of professionals and middle managers in big businesses.

Jerrod Niemann Engaged
Jerrod Niemann will be walking down the aisle later this year. He's engaged, popping the question to girlfriend Morgan in New Orleans. No date has been set yet, but the couple plans to tie the knot in 2014.
Jerrod Niemann will be walking down the aisle later this year. He's engaged, popping the question to girlfriend Morgan in New Orleans. No date has been set yet, but the couple plans to tie the knot in 2014.
Fans of Jerrod Niemann's hit song 'Drink to That All Night' are going to like the 12 songs that surround it on 'High Noon,' his new studio album scheduled for release on March 25. Niemann revealed the track listing to Taste of Country, saying his third major label studio effort is a party album.
On the 12th day of Christmas, Jerrod Niemann asked you to pack your bags, grab a friend and catch a flight to one of his 2014 concerts!
On the 9th day of Jerrod Niemann's Christmas giveaway, the 'Drink to That All Night' singer gave to you ... one signed drumstick, one Jerrod Niemann T-shirt and a Dehydration Nation membership. That's his fan club, and your opportunity to score all sorts of great freebies and exclusives.
Christmas music has never sounded so good. Let Jerrod Niemann be in charge of the audio this year, with a new pair of Sony Headphones from the 'Drink to That All Night' hitmaker. That's the Day 7 prize of this 12 Days of Jerrod giveaway.
Day 5 of the 12 Days of Jerrod giveaway is straight money. Win a $100 Visa gift card to spend any way you want ... if you're chosen as Monday's (Dec. 9) winner.
Old buddies Lee Brice and Jerrod Niemann were both in Las Vegas for the ACMs over the weekend, and since Brice's wedding is coming right up, they thought it would be a good time for a big bachelor party. But far from a rip-roaring wild time, they ended up enjoying a fairly tame evening -- at least by the standards of their younger days.
Last September, Jerrod Niemann urged fans to submit their information for his 'Rock Your Room' sweepstakes, which promised one lucky winner a bundle of the latest Sony electronics to help furnish a college dorm room or home bedroom in need of a hi-tech makeover. Chosen at random, Catherine WIllis of Arizona State University was awarded the top prize, which also included a private, intimate performance from the 'Lover, Lover' singer.
When give the opportunity, Jerrod Niemann wastes no time doing good for others, which is why the singer-songwriter is taking portion of proceeds raised from his upcoming Chicago concert and giving it to the children at St. Jude.
With one more win, Jerrod Niemann will put his new song 'Only God Could Love You More' into the Showdown Hall of Fame. The ballad has topped singles by Thompson Square, Jason Aldean and Montgomery Gentry in recent days. Today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio, Niemann fans will have to out-duel fans of the 2012 CMA New Artist of the Year.
The kids at PS22 in Staten Island, N.Y. are becoming just as famous for their inspiring versions of popular songs as the tune's original artists. This week, the fifth grade choir gave special attention Jerrod Niemann's current country chart-climber, 'Shinin' on Me,' with a little help from the country hitmaker himself.
Jerrod Niemann is releasing a sophomore album, the follow-up to his successful debut, 'Judge Jerrod and the Hung Jury.' The new collection of tunes, 'Free the Music,' shows his growth and maturity as a man, singer and songwriter, but still has a fair share of personality and fun mixed in.

As the Big 12 continues to work towards making a push for its first College Football Playoff spot, the league must continue to strengthen its non-conference schedule. Here are five non-conference games to keep an eye on this season:
Texas at Notre Dame
Saturday, Sept. 5
The Buzz: These two traditional college football powers will kick off a home-and-home series that begins at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend. This is just the 11th meeting between these two schools and the first one since 1996. Notre Dame has won eight times in this series including the past four games in a row. The last Texas win was all the way back in 1970 when Darrell Royal's Longhorns beat Ara Parseghian's Fighting Irish 21-17 to capture their second consecutive national championship.
Oklahoma at Tennessee
Saturday, Sept. 12
The Buzz: Bob Stoops is 5-4 all-time against the SEC as Oklahoma's coach including last season's 34-10 win over visiting Tennessee. In that game, Sooners quarterback Trevor Knight threw for...Read more
It appears the bowl schedule will get a little more crowded as Tucson, Arizona and Little Rock, Arkansas are the latest cities to reportedly host a bowl game in 2015.
Both cities have shown 'strong interest' in hosting postseason games according to ESPN.com's Brett McMurphy and both are expected to submit application for games before the Wednesday deadline.
If both venues secure two conferences to support a game and a television deal, there is nothing that should prevent them from getting games according to the ESPN report.
The addition of games at Tucson and Little Rock would bring the total number of bowl games to 42 in 2015 including the College Football Playoff national championship. The newly-renovated Citrus Bowl will play host to the Cure Bowl, set to make its debut this season as well.
According to sources in the report, the game in Tucson would be called the Arizona Bowl and it would feature teams from the Mountain West and Conference USA. It would take place at the...Read more
ACC schools won an impressive 10 games against schools from the other Power 5 conferences – the most among any leagues. They also won close to 75 percent (43) of their non-conference games in 2014.
Several key matchup early on will highlight the 2015 season:
Ohio State at Virginia Tech
Monday, Sept. 7
The Buzz: The only blemish on Ohio State's national championship resume last season was that 35-21 loss to the Hokies in the second week of the season. It almost cost the Buckeyes a spot in the College Football Playoff. This time around, Urban Meyer's team will open the defense of its title on the road in Blacksburg. Virginia Tech is a dismal 7-29 overall against top 10 teams (Ohio State is sure to start the season as the preseason No. 1), including an 0-8 all-time record versus No. 1 teams.
Louisville vs. Auburn (Chick-fil-A Classic, Atlanta)
Saturday, Sept. 5
The Buzz: Louisville is coming off a successful nine-win season – its first in the ACC – and head coach Bobby Petrino is no...Read more
Archie Manning will not return as a member of the College Football Playoff selection committee citing demands on his busy schedule. His spot will be filled by former Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson.
"I was honored when I was chosen to be on the College Football Playoff Selection Committee," Manning said in a statement through the group. "It's a great group of people and they did a wonderful job last year.
"But as I look ahead to the various commitments I have – to my family, numerous time obligations around the country and to other conflicting demands – I have concluded that I won't be able to return to the committee. I particularly want to watch Peyton and Eli play, in person when I can, and it's hard to do that when weekends are devoted to watching college games. This is not an easy choice, but it's the right choice for Olivia and me."
Manning was named to the 13-member selection committee before last season, but health issues limited his ability to travel and he removed himself -...Read more
For the first time in quite some time, the Sun Belt enters the season unchanged.
Conference realignment made the league's membership somewhat of a revolving door with schools coming-and-going every season. Facing stability, here are five league games to watch heading into 2015:
Georgia State at New Mexico State
Saturday, Sept. 12
The Buzz: Beginnings can be difficult. In two years of existence, Georgia State is 1-23 overall with the Panthers still seeking their first Sun Belt win. If this team hopes to get its first conference win, the best shot could come in this early showdown. New Mexico State won just once in league play – a 34-31 win over Georgia State. Both programs return 17 starters and figure to show improvement in 2015.
South Alabama at Troy
Saturday, Oct. 3
The Buzz: For the first time in close to a quarter of a century, Troy will open Sun Belt play without legendary coach Larry Blakeney on the sidelines. Former assistant coach Neal Brown returns to reboot a program that...Read more
It didn't take long for Boise State to reassert itself as a contender in the Mountain West as the Broncos won 12-games in 2014 while capturing the program's second conference championship.
Boise State is sure to be a preseason favorite heading into next season, but there could be some challengers.
Here are five key games to watch in the MWC:
UNLV at Nevada
Saturday, Oct. 3
The Buzz: If Tony Sanchez is going to breathe new life into the UNLV program, the quickest way to do so is by winning games. The Rebels haven't had a winning season since 2000 and Sanchez's first order of business will be to improve on a conference record that is 19-60 over the past decade including losing nine of the past 10 in this in-state series. A victory over the Wolf Pack would do wonders for recruiting.
Fresno State at San Diego State
Saturday, Oct. 3
The Buzz: Fresno State has won back-to-back West division crowns and is one year removed from a Mountain West championship, but the Bulldogs are coming off...Read more

Background Applications
The preceding pages cover much of what is needed to create a background application. Background applications could be considered to be either of these types:
minimized application--an application that has a card stage (or window) but is not in the foreground view
dashboard--an application that has a dashboard stage (or panel) but no card stage
Minimized Application
This is simply an application with a card stage that is not in the foreground view. There are some guidelines for minimized applications:
Generally an application should not post notifications or create a Dashboard stage unless the application is minimized or without any card stage at all. When the applications is maximized, all the user interface should be presented in the card view.
You can add a listener to the stageController's document element for Mojo.Event.stageDeactivate events which will indicate that the application is being minimized. A Mojo.Event.stageActivate event is sent when the application moves back into focus and is maximized. This will allow you to customize your application's behavior around these states. For example:
MainAssistant.prototype.setup = function(){ - - - this.activateHandler=this.activateWindow.bind(this); Mojo.Event.listen(this.controller.stageController.document, Mojo.Event.stageActivate, this.activateHandler); this.deactivateHandler=this.deactivateWindow.bind(this); Mojo.Event.listen(this.controller.stageController.document, Mojo.Event.stageDeactivate, this.deactivateHandler); }; MainAssistant.prototype.activateWindow = function(event) { Mojo.Log.info(".................. Main Assistant - Maximized State"); }; MainAssistant.prototype.deactivateWindow = function(event) { Mojo.Log.info(".................. Main Assistant - Minimized State"); };
When minimized, suspend application behavior that isn't necessary and lengthen polling cycles where possible. Since the application is minimized, it won't be immediately seen by the user, so work done to update the display isn't required. System calls, data connections, and similar requests should be limited where possible as they consume CPU and power, and lengthy operations will impact the responsiveness of the maximized application.
Dashboard Application
For some applications, the card stage can be closed and the application will continue to function using a Dashboard stage as the primary user interface. Email or messaging applications are classic examples of this, but some applications may find that the Dashboard is a better primary stage for their purpose. Consider a weather application, traffic monitor, friend finder or other location-based applications as possible Dashboard applications.
A typical Dashboard application will have three components:
the application assistant; opens the card stage at launch, and the dashboard stage when directed to.
the card stage and scene assistant; enables or disables the application and captures settings and preferences that drive the application behavior and feature set.
the dashboard stage and scene assistant; presents information gathered by the application, handles periodic wake-up events to update the information, and supports limited interaction.
Dashboard applications will have a parent window attached to the application controller and handles just the start-up events. The Dashboard will be updated as new status and information is available and notifications will be posted. If the Dashboard is closed for any reason, HP webOS will close the parent window and the application will be fully closed.
Most of this structure should be familiar; it combines techniques that have been covered in Advanced Application Guidelines and Dashboards and Notifications. The background processing is new. In this application model, setTimeout() is used to schedule periodic wakeup calls within the Dashboard scene. This extended sample shows how you might create a Dashboard that:
creates the initial Dashboard on launch...
sets up a wakeup cycle every 5 minutes and initiates the dashboard stage when the application is enabled through the card stage...
handles wakeups; in this demonstration, a new banner notification is posted, the dashboard is updated and a new wakeup timeout is scheduled...
closes the application when the user closes the dashboard.
function DashboardAssistant() { this.message = "Tracking Notifications"; this.count = dashboardCount; } DashboardAssistant.prototype.setup = function() { // Display the dashboard this.updateDashboard(this.message, this.count); // Set up wakeup handler and first wakeup event this.wakeupFunction = this.wakeupHandler.bind(this); this.wakeupTaskId = this.controller.window.setTimeout(this.wakeupFunction, 300000); }; DashboardAssistant.prototype.wakeupHandler = function() { var bannerMessage = "An update from MyApp"; var bannerParams = { messageText: bannerMessage, soundClass: "alerts" }; Mojo.Controller.getAppController().showBanner(bannerParams, {source: "notification"}, "MyApp"); // Update dashboard dashboardCount = dashboardCount+1; this.updateDashboard(this.message, dashboardCount); this.wakeupTaskId = this.controller.window.setTimeout(this.wakeupFunction, 300000); }; DashboardAssistant.prototype.updateDashboard = function(message, count) { var info = {message: message, count: count}; // Use render to convert the object and its properties along with a view file into a string // containing HTML var renderedInfo = Mojo.View.render({object: info, template: 'dashboard/item-info'}); var infoElement = this.controller.get('dashboardinfo'); infoElement.innerHTML = renderedinfo; }; // Close the dashboard DashboardAssistant.prototype.cleanup = function() { this.controller.window.clearTimeout(this.wakeupTaskId); var appController = Mojo.Controller.getAppController(); appController.closeStage(dashboardStage); };
Of course, the use of setTimeout() will only wake up the application when the device is already awake or awakened for other reasons. If the device is asleep, then it won't be awakened, so you need to account for that in the timeout processing.
To wake your application even while the device sleeps, use the Alarms service. It will not launch your application if it isn't running, but will wake the application in other cases. To modify the above sample to use Alarms, substitute a service call in place of setTimeout(). Pass the wakeup function (i.e.,
this.wakeupHandler.bind(this)) as the onSuccess callback in the service call.
Additional Guidelines
These are some additional guidelines for background applications:
Conserve power; poll as infrequently as possible. Space out your requests and implement degrading intervals that lengthen the longer your polling does not produce an event or data change.
Limit notifications; use the dashboard to update state and status and limit even banner notifications to important information.
Avoid background processing; while you're running, the user doesn't see any UI and your processing can have an adverse impact on the UI the user does see.

Why is it better to roast prime rib as a double chop as opposed to a singular or triple?
When roasting a single chop is going to over cook fairly quickly. A double chop is the minimum I would try. Don't know why a triple would not be acceptable.
Prime rib is normally served medium rare with a nice crust on the exterior. This is difficut to do with a smaller roast. As already mentioned above, it will over cook and a exterior crust will not be formed. If you like your meat (gasp) well done, it may not make a difference; but you will be wasting a good cut of meat...

Croft ready for Sarries challenge
May 25, 2011
ESPNscrum Podcast: Aviva Premiership Season Review%]
Leicester flanker Tom Croft insists Saracens' regular-season double over the Tigers will count for nothing in Saturday's Aviva Premiership final at Twickenham.
The Watford-based side have had the beating of the east Midlands giants in their last three league meetings, claiming a win at Welford Road at the end of last season before doing the double over the reigning champions this term.
The two sides now meet in the final for the second consecutive year, with Leicester winning last year's showpiece thanks to a late Dan Hipkiss try.
"We are expecting a very tough test," Croft said. "They beat us home and away in the league, which is disappointing, but this game is not about those results, it's about putting in a performance worthy of winning that cup.
"We know we have to work on certain areas of our game. They will pose different threats Northampton. They have a strong scrum that we will need to wear down, because if they start making headway there they have backs who are capable of scoring from anywhere. They pose a big challenge and it will be a tough one."
Leicester will go in search of a third straight Premiership title, in their seventh-successive final, with rugby director Richard Cockerill and head coach Matt O'Connor in attendance after the RFU took no action against them over allegations they had used foul and abusive language towards referee assessor Brian Campsall during their last-four win over Northampton.
But they will be without powerful centre Manu Tuilagi after the 20-year-old was handed a five-week ban for his three-punch attack on England winger Chris Ashton during their punishing 11-3 semi-final success.
"It will be a loss but someone will step up," he said. "What happened, happened. You wish it hadn't but it has and you have to carry on. He will learn, he is a young guy who is a bright prospect and it's about learning at his age."
Despite the furore over the Saints game, Croft believes the performance ranks among Leicester's best of the season and tees them up perfectly for the final as they chase yet more silverware.
"It was a tough semi-final but we are in a very good place," he said. "We are into another final and we are very pleased with the performance. We had shown glimpses of what we can do during the season but not put together a full 80 minutes.
"But we played the game the right way. We limited their forwards and the power they had. We closed Ashton and Ben Foden down really well and deprived them of ball from set-piece and nullified their driving maul. But the job is not done yet, this will be a very tough final."

If you chicken thighs are thick you need to increase cooking time. My chicken too 40 mins to cook through. Otherwise great with mashed potatoes.
AnnieGB 1 Jun, 2009
My husband cooked this up for us tonight. He doubled the recipe. Yum! The carrots are scrumptious and the chicken was delish! He couldn't find the shallot, so he used green onions and it tasted fine.

Publisher's Description
Basics of Ancient Ugaritic is a teaching grammar of this ancient language, one spoken at the time of Abraham occuring in ancient texts in cuneiform writing. It begins with the alphabet, and each new lesson builds on the ones before it. It is not, therefore, a synthetic Ugaritic grammarthese types of texts often prove to be overwhelming for students.
Instead, Basics of Ancient Ugaritic can be used for learning the language by individuals on their own or in a classroom setting. Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises allowing students to know whether they are grasping the fundamentals of the language.
In short, Basics of Ancient Ugaritic represents an ideal first text for entering the larger world of Semitic languages.

Reviews of Doro Nawas
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Unusual, in a positive way. Stunning setting
Staff were proud of their culture and wanted to share it.
Brilliant elephant safari. Unusual lodge resembling a fortress in great scenery.
Very spacious chalets. Good food - sensible portions!
Lightning at Doro Nawas
We chose a strange time to visit Doro Nawas. We arrived in torrential rain. As we were checking in, lightning struck the lodge and the thatch in one of the chalets caught fire. The way the staff reacted to the drama was most impressive.
It was the birthday of one of the guests and all the staff sang a number of songs. They provided a cake which they shared with all the guests. The staff made it a wonderful evening.
The rain was the first for 2/3 years.
One improvement would be to provide mosquito nets. Although it is a low risk malaria area there were lots of creepy crawlies and nets would have helped in ensuring a good night's sleep.
Doro Nawas review
See earlier review - some nice touches like we had the same room - and the same guide picked us up from the air strip. We had time to drive ourselves to Twyfelfontein so could visit in a more relaxed way which was a good start to being back from the very rarefied context of the Skeleton Coast.
Made use of the pool and found a few (but not many) other guests now at the lodge.
as we were in transit, harder to judge
First, a minor point: the directions in Expert Africa's material was rather unclear. The camp is not marked on the printed map, and the directions were fairly vague about exactly where the camp was. Distances on the gravel roads are deceptive. There were other places marked but not Doro Namas. We spend a long time wondering if we had missed it and drove for a good way past where we thought it was suggested the turning to the camp was, and were starting to wonder if we'd missed the turn and whether we should go back - but then we found it. So maybe a ball park figure for the kilometres from the last turning or similar would be helpful.
By now we had stayed in five different camps/lodges and were getting familiar with the setup. So although the staff were as pleasant as anywhere we'd stayed and nothing was too much trouble and there were few other guests etc, Doro Nawas seems to lack a particular identity of its own. Maybe a lot of people, like us, use it as a transport interchange, or are just passing through. We went on a trip to Twyfelfontein which turned out to include a visit to the Damaraland living village which was surprisingly good with a very talented young man as the lead guide. Obviously we used a guide from the site at Twyfelfontein - which is fascinating and with a good museum - as outlined in the book. ( We returned to it ourselves when we stayed on the way back from the Skeleton Coast). However on the guided trip we didn't really have enough time and ended up keeping the young site guide until after closing time and not seeing the display/museum. It could have been better managed as an overall outing. The drive back to the lodge is quite rocky and by this time we were pretty tired. The room was large and airy but putting the bed out on the veranda not realistic as much too windy. We had our first experience of getting the menu in both English and the Damara/click language from charming waiter which was nice.
So overall, we felt a bit 'neutral' about the lodge although there was nothing in particular that was negative.
Great setting
Excellent location/setting. Comfortable rooms - very spacious with large bathroom/shower area. Can slide back the folding doors and move bed to large veranda to sleep under the stars if one chooses. First night - we had dinner on the building roof by candlelight and kerosene lamps. Beautiful but a tad chilly - blankets were provided. BBQ - choice of fish/beef steak/sausage accompanied by polenta porridge (?) or rice - fairly unappetising. 1 desert.
Went elephant trekking (07.30 to 12.30) - some very rough tracks. Also living museum but too hot to continue to rock engravings.
2nd hottest place we stayed - temp c. 33 -35 degrees - just too hot to bear in mid-afternoon.
A great spot with a fantastic vantage point
We enjoyed our time here, and particularly the trip to the Desert Elephants. For those who have their own transport, we would recommend making your own way to the rock engravings and Organ Pipes/Burnt mountain as there is no real added value in taking the lodge trip, which works out more expensively. Although not offered by the Lodge, we would strongly recommend a trip to the Petrified forest, which we found really interesting.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, particularly the manager Alvin, although I wished he hadn't laboured the dangers of snakes and scorpions as much as he did, as this meant I was particularly on edge throughout the two nights of our stay (unnecessarily it transpired).
Sleeping under the stars
Doro Nawas was a revelation. Being able to wheel our huge bed out onto the balcony and sleep under the stars was an incredible experience not to be missed.
The excursion down the dry riverbed in a four wheel drive landrover was an adventure in itself and finding elephants was the icing on the cake. We would have liked another night here.
Scenic location, dry, hot and windy
Twyfelfontein engravings worth the visit but maybe stay for one night onlyRead more about the whole safari
Sleep under the stars (with the bats!)
The best welcome and most friendly staff of our entire trip. Enthusiastic and happy and likely to burst into song at any moment!
Spacious, well arranged, huts with both inside & outside shower. The highlight was wheeling the bed out onto the terrace and sleeping in the open air. To be able to lie back and star gaze was very special. The bats flying close to your face for a while, gave it an added twist! Cold in the morning, so the thick blankets provided were definately needed.
A superb trip out into the valley to track desert adapted elephants with our guide Mwezi. After looking at the tracks in the dust, we rounded the corner and were up close and personal with a large group of elephants. Fascinating to sit and watch the different behaviours of young and old elephants in their natural habitat.
Also enjoyed sitting on the bean-bags around the camp-fire in the central area.
What can we say, fantastic location, amazing rooms and the 'castle' was great! But here the thing that made it for us was the Staff! It felt great staying there as it was very energy efficient and they generate their own electricity etc.
So friendly and helpful and they read the menu out to us in Click language and English and sang on our last night which was fun!
Erwin took us to look for Desert Elephants but due to the time of year they had gone further up the river bed and he just said 'we aren't going back to camp until we have found them' which was great seeing as the excursion should only have been half a day (it turned out we found them in time anyway, but we liked his determination'. There were only 3 of us in the Jeep so it was really personal and he answered all of our questions really well.
The rooms were huge, the patio was fab and the view was out of this world. We were initially going to stay at another lodge close by but we were so glad it was fully booked and we stayed here instead. The food was great as well and the pool was stunning (although it could have been cleaner- possibly my only criticism but I advised Doro Nawas at the time too).
I do have to say getting there was not easy on the route suggested to us in a 2WD. The D2612 was not an easy road and we had to turn round and go back on the C35 up to Khorixas and then on the C39 which was much better. At the rate were driving on the D2612 we could have walked the same pace. But that is not a criticism of Doro Nawas.

We have to make books in InDesign, and the content we receive would be in XML Format and also an RTF file is given with same content, what we do currently is copy and paste the text in InDesign document and start formatting te content accordingly. But we are having huge volumes like more than 6000 pages and similarly we are having 8-12 vilumes, i want to know if we can get the styles directly in InDesign and start working on them.
For eg: we have the below content

Here there should be a para created and the number should be bold. I'm really unable to understand how to do it. please help me with this. And also our vendors need the IDML file along with the PDF. please let me know how i can do this.
Also please suggest me some good tutorials regarding this.
Yes, but it is all custom work. You need to discover the structure panel within InDesign, and the delights of scripting. Maybe hiring a consultant would save you so many hours that in the long run, you'd save a lot money...maybe not.
And no, I'm not offering services, I speak rather as one who has taken advantage of them. Our conversion time for manuscripts dropped dramatically after my business partner did this kind of work.
