MassResistance.com was Forced to Another Webhost by Flanders

MassResistance.com has been exposing the heinous homosexual sex offender Adam Flanders much to his chagrin. Flanders and his homosexual legal team have been trying to combat MassResistance's exposé by a tactic undoubtedly learned from Radical Muslims known as Lawfare. The Lawfare tactic is to smother a defendant with litigation to the point the legal fees make the defendant go broke even if or especially if his writing is the truth.
In MassResistance's case I cross posted about the legal games of homosexual Adam Flanders and Lawfare homosexuals' activists directly after my thoughts entitled, "Maine Judges Protect Man/Boy Sex."
I now find out for awhile MassResistance's website was shut down by homosexual activist complaints. MassResistance even reports that usually staunchly Conservative web news site WND backed away from reporting on Adam Flanders because of threats of litigation. Homosexual Flanders has taken the practice of SWATing to a new level by utilizing Leftist activist Judges like Maine's District Judge Patricia G. Worth to take false information to execute a restraining order against Brian Camenker of MassResistance. As I wrote above I cross posted the MassResistance version in the link above. HERE is an independent report by Gina Miller at Renew America that backs up the MassResistance version.
SWATing began as a prank by Leftists against Conservative Bloggers and Pundits. SWATing has evolved into a practice in which Leftists attempt to intimidate Conservatives for writing anti-Leftist material. Leftists would call 911 and cops would show up at a Conservative's home guns raring to blaze until it was discovered it was a prank. You can see how the prank can get out of hand and out of hand translates into intimidation to prevent Free Speech.
"SWAT-ing" refers to a hoax in which an anonymous prankster falsely reports a violent crime at an unsuspecting person's home, prompting a police team to respond to the location believing a dangerous situation is at hand.
The illegal practice has in recent months targeted well-known conservative writers and commentators, including Erick Erickson, founder of the blog RedState.com — who claims he was eating dinner with his family in May when a SWAT team surrounded his home following such a false 911 call.
The growing trend, which some say could one day prove deadly, had conservatives on edge at the annual RightOnline conference of right-wing bloggers and activists in Las Vegas this weekend.

GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss is taking up the cause of a number of conservative bloggers who claim they have been targeted and harassed with such tactics as 'SWAT-ing' where 911 emergency teams are sent to a blogger's house.
The harassment has allegedly happened in retaliation for what they have written and Chambliss has asked Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate, according to ABC News.
"I am writing with concern regarding recent reports that several members of the community of online political commentators have been targeted with harassing and frightening actions. Any potentially criminal action that incites fear, seeks to silence a dissenting opinion, and collaterally wastes the resources of law enforcement should be given close scrutiny at all levels," Chambliss wrote, according to the report.
"Regardless of any potential political differences that may exist, threats and intimidation have no place in our national political discourse. Those who choose to enter into that political discourse should not have to worry about potential threats to their or their family's safety," Chambliss continued. "While I am certain that local law enforcement is reviewing each of these instances, I am asking you to please look into each of these cases as well to determine if any federal laws may have been violated. Future targets of SWAT-ting, whether engaged in political speech or not, may not be so fortunate as to escape physical harm."

1. MassResistance web site shut down after homosexual activist threatens web hosting company — and company caves in! Latest in vicious (and illegal) "swat" campaign against conservatives.
The MassResistance website was completely shut down last week after a homosexual activist and convicted sex offender threatened the web hosting company, and the company caved in. Although the site has finally come back up, (after nearly three days of being down) the activist has now sent a threat to the owner of the owner of MassResistance's new hosting company.
Taken down by hosting company: Starting on Monday afternoon this is what people saw when they went to the MassResistance website.
Adam Flanders is a well-known homosexual activist in Maine who has been convicted of molesting a 14-year-old boy and is a registered sex offender. In January 2007, Flanders wrote and publicly distributed a shocking letter describing the sexual acting out at a "gay youth" organization, including adult men having sex with boys. Flanders delivered the letter to local police departments, the local media, and pro-family groups. Now, five years later, Flanders had a change of heart and wants it removed from pro-family sites that have posted it. He has intimidated every pro-family group into removing it — except MassResistance.
"Gay youth clubs" run by adults in schools and in communities are the worst nightmare of every parent with a vulnerable child. We have worked with parents who agonized terribly over their kids' involvement with them. Flanders' letter was an important revelation of what had been long suspected — and Flanders now realizes that. (Interesting, the letter is also still posted on at least one local Maine news site but since they are not "pro-family" Flanders has ignored it.)
But as our readers know, MassResistance has a long history of not backing down to threats from homosexual activists regarding material we've exposed.
The vicious "SWATing" tactics now being used against conservatives
Known as "SWATing," Flanders' action can be seen as part of a disturbing new strategy being used around the country to stifle free speech by viciously harassing conservative web sites, bloggers, and writers, by going after the individuals personally. This includes threats, frivolous lawsuits, false police crime reports, phony harassment filings, other various acts of terror and intimidation. Flanders has filed a false harassment complaint in a Maine District Court against Brian Camenker of MassResistance, personally, and the judge unbelievably agreed to the restraining order! In Massachusetts, a far-left pro-homosexual group has filed a lawsuit against Pastor Scott Lively for international "crimes against humanity" because of his pro-family activism.
Flanders has indicated in his emails that he is working in concert with radical homosexual groups around the country.
Web hosting company for MassResistance site caves in
On Monday afternoon, June 11, HostExcellence, located in Kentucky, decided to accommodate Flanders' demand that they shut us down. The MassResistance website — which has been up for nearly 15 years — suddenly disappeared from the Internet.
Despite the fact that we had been hosted by HostExcellence for nearly eight years without any problems, the company was resolute. When HostExcellence began getting threats from Flanders they ordered us to take the material down or be shut down. We were contacted by Craig Witten, who works in the company's legal department, with that directive. (Strangely, we were first told he was a lawyer, then they said he's not a lawyer.) We explained to Witten the background of the situation, but he told us that doesn't matter. He said that shutting us down is simply a business decision. The company doesn't want to risk getting into a legal fight with those people, he said.
We suggested to Witten that by siding with a sex offender against a pro-family group helping parents, the company risks angering other pro-family people across the country, and sending a message that people's sites aren't safe from the ire of radicals like Flanders. Witten said that wasn't a concern of theirs. He added that the decision was final, and there's no one else at the company that we, or anyone, could talk to further about it. (This policy apparently reflects the sentiments of company president, Fathi Said.)
Threat to owner of MassResistance's new web hosting company
By Wednesday evening we had found a new hosting company and had finished most of the painstaking task of restoring the large MassResistance website onto its servers.
As soon as the new site was up, Flanders traced the server addresses to identify the company. He then sent two chilling personal emails to the owner, also located in New England. The first email contained a series of legal fabrications about MassResistance. In the second email, Flanders listed the company owner's full name, his home address, and his business address. (It was clearly meant to frighten him.) Flanders said he was giving him 24 hours to take down the MassResistance site. Flanders also threatened that he would begin various immediate legal actions against the owner personally, saying he was "personally culpable" and would be seeking "personal damages" from him.
The new web hosting company's owner is a committed Christian, and so far is standing tall on this. He knows that Flanders has no actual legal basis for his claims. But Flanders' range of threats and enraged intimidation tactics are naturally very worrisome to him and his family, to say the least.
Fighting back: Liberty Counsel steps up to help MassResistance!
As soon as word had gotten out that HostExcellence was considering shutting down MassResistance site, we got a call from Richard Mast, an attorney at Liberty Counsel! Liberty Counsel is a preeminent pro-family pro-bono law firm that has done great work around the country.
This past week Attorney Mast has put in a lot of work on behalf of MassResistance. He sent a strongly worded letter to the company president outlining the legal risks of their action against MassResistance, and has since spoken to a "real" attorney there. (We'll see what happens.) He has also communicated with authorities in Maine regarding Flanders, and is helping us with legal strategies to deal with him and his actions.
Local Maine attorney needed now for this: Help us find one!
From research so far, Flanders has likely broken a number of state and possibly federal laws in his harassment actions and abuse of the legal process. And his outrageous and frivolous harassment suits (which he's continuing to file) need to be confronted. But unless we have attorneys to do this, it won't get done.
There's only so much Liberty Counsel can do (or has the time to do) from its offices in Florida and Washington, DC. Someone is who is aggressive and knowledgeable is needed on the ground in Maine to get the job done there, in the courtroom. This is an immediate need because we must move fast.
To our supporters in Maine: please help with this if you can.
(There is actually one "pro-family" attorney that national groups have used a lot. But we talked to him at length. He takes a fairly moderate approach to these issues, and is on not too interested in fighting this. We've seen too much of that among "pro-family" attorneys, unfortunately.)
Conservative media picks up on story
This story is starting to pick up steam. On both Monday and Tuesday, MassResistance was interviewed on the Bryan Fischer show on the American Family Association radio network. We were also interviewed on the Dr. Michael Brown Show, also syndicated across the country. Later that week were on radio in Maine.
Interviewed by American Family Association Radio on website shut down:
VIDEO: Brian Camenker: website pulled down because of his resistance to homosexuality 06/12/12
In addition, WorldNetDaily did two articles on this last week — but unfortunately both have been taken down (See #2 below.)
The time to fight back is now!
The pro-family movement has a long history of simply taking a defensive posture when confronted by radical activists. That has not served us well. At best, it temporarily "holds the line." Left-wing groups like GLAD and the ACLU, on the other hand, are always hyper-aggressive and willing to take us on with every creative strategy they can think of. The "gay marriage" decisions and the legal attack on DOMA are just two recent examples, also going back to the removal of all religious expression from schools.
You can take this to the bank: If Flanders is allowed to get away with this, his radical cohorts across the country will soon all be doing the same, and much worse. The time to fight is now.
In fact, the First Amendment covers legitimate news reporting and political opinion for everyone — even if homosexual activists don't like it. Or, at least it's supposed to.
Soon after our site went down our office got a phone call from a web hosting country in a foreign country across the ocean. They said they'd be happy to host us if it's become too dangerous in America. We're thinking seriously about it. But has it really come to that?
2. WorldNetDaily removes articles reporting this incident after receiving threats from homosexual activist! A sad day for the "free" press.
As conservative news sites go, we have always held WorldNetDaily in very high regard. They bill themselves as a "Free Press for a Free People" and they have lived up to that. Over the years they have covered numerous cutting-edge MassResistance activities that others only covered afterwards. And we love reading their "Whistleblower" monthly magazine.
But their recent action is very troubling.
On Tuesday, June 12, WorldNetDaily published an article on Flanders' actions against MassResistance titled, "'Gay' activist uses 'SWAT' to silence critics." The following day, Wednesday, they posted another article about our site being taken down, titled, "Web company censors 'public' letter." They were thorough, well-written articles.
Then on Thursday, they were both missing from the WorldNetDaily site. We finally were able to speak to someone at WorldNetDaily who admitted that Flanders had contacted them and had made various claims and legal threats. So WorldNetDaily took them down . . . until further notice.
Someone retrieved the articles from the Google cache and sent them to us. Here's what WorldNetDaily removed from its site:
WorldNetDailY: "'Gay' activist uses 'SWAT' to silence critics."
WorldNetDaily: "Web company censors 'public' letter."
It seems that even exposing Obama is considered less risky for the conservative media than this. Why does our side cower before the homosexual bullies?
3. MassResistance needs your support now. Be a part of the fight!.
This past week has been pretty tough. MassResistance is the only group that didn't back down to the threats, intimidation, and harassment from the homosexual movement.
Our website got shut down over it. We worked around the clock and got it back up in less than three days. And the assault continues. The homosexual movement wants to destroy us more than ever.
But in these times, keeping you informed about the often horrible truth is preeminently important.
Please consider a generous donation to help us offset the costs we've encountered and to help us continue fighting back stronger than ever. We don't have a board of directors of rich businessmen. We depend on you.
Thank you for your support!
4. Camenker of MassResistance addresses Plymouth Rock Tea Party, also speaks at MARA breakfast.
MassResistance continues to be in demand for speaking engagements across the state spreading the word on a number of critical issues that don't get reported by the mainstream media. But in particular, people want to know about the homosexual (and transgender) agenda in the public schools that no one else is exposing or even talking about.
On Sunday, June 3, Brian Camenker of MassResistance spoke at the "Politics and Eggs" breakfast at the Mildred F. Jefferson Chapter of the Massachusetts Association of Republican Assemblies (MARA) in Fall River. In contrast to most of the GOP establishment across the country, the Republican Assemblies proudly call themselves the "Republican wing of the Republican Party."
On Tuesday, June 6, Brian Camenker of MassResistance spoke at the Plymouth Rock Tea Party, the major Tea Party group in the South Shore of Massachusetts.

Maine Judges Protect Man/Boy Sex

Homosexuality is a sin according to the Word of God in BOTH the Old and New Testaments. The Word of God often compares acts of homosexuality to an abomination. What is an abomination?
Merriam-Webster on abomination:
1: something abominable
1: worthy of or causing disgust or hatred: detestable
2: quite disagreeable or unpleasant
2: extreme disgust and hatred: loathing
TheFreeDictionary listings for abomination:
American Heritage® Dictionary
1. Abhorrence; disgust.
2. A cause of abhorrence or disgust.
Collins English Dictionary – Complete and Unabridged
1. a person or thing that is disgusting
2. an action that is vicious, vile, etc.
3. intense loathing
The act of homosexuality is an abominable depravity worthy of loathing. Fortunately God has given His one and only Son to pay the price of sin and to deliver humanity from sin. Although homosexuals are worthy of loathing, Christians have the duty to share the Good News of the Redemption of Jesus Christ and pray for the unredeemed to lead them to the path of the God-Kind of life. Since forgiveness is the hallmark of Christ multiple acts of forgiveness is also the duty of Christians toward those deserving of loathing.
That sounds a bit condescending doesn't it? The point of being a Christian is to walk in the God-Kind of love and so Believers need to learn to share the Good News without condemnation for there is NOW therefore no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.
Saying all that, Christians are not door mats for the feet of sinners especially sinners that practice depravity. Yes, I am aware that a significant amount of homosexuals otherwise lead normal lives other than their proclivity for moral abomination. It is my opinion that homosexuals that otherwise lead normal lives exist because the radical homosexuals that flaunt their lifestyle in public even doing some of their depravity in public where someone's mother or father has to explain to little Jack or Jill that is wicked in the sight of God just as it is for professional scantily clad women offering fornicating service to men single and married. Larger cities have a Vice division in their police departments to deal with the illegality of sex for pay propositioning among prostitutes. AND YET there are large urban areas that have homosexual parades in which public homosexual sex including S & M junk is practiced (Example of perversity – WARNING EXPLICIT DEPRAVITY) under the actual license of a City Government.
Democrats, Secular Humanists, Homosexual Activists, Hollywood Media and Small Screen Media (TV) have been pounding homosexual acceptance among Americans for decades. It has gotten particularly worse in the last few years.
If you are a Family Values organization or a Conservative organization in which Family Values is one of many issues supported, and your organization stands with the Biblical definition that the practice of homosexuality is an abomination you will be labeled a bigoted homophobe.
Homosexual activism has gotten so out of hand that activist judges representing Leftist ideology and/or judges that are actually gay have been making law from the bench to exclude Family/Biblical Values as part of the rule of law. It is so bad that Man/Boy homosexuality (which is STILL illegal) is being defended, smothered and persecuted above the mandate of the rule of law.
The people of MassResistance.org have exposed the State Judiciary of Maine to be adjudicating above the law and allowing homosexual activists to persecute American citizens that are exposing a homosexual youth camp as a haven for Man/Boy sexual interludes (See the Wickedness of NAMBLA).

Convicted sex offender gets judge in Maine to issue restraining order against Brian Camenker of MassResistance — for exposing offenses against kids at "gay youth" club!
Part of vicious new tactic by homosexual movement to silence critics.
June 8, 2012
The homosexual movement is now using local liberal judges to go after pro-family activists.
An adult homosexual activist convicted of sexually molesting a 14-year-old boy he met at a "gay youth" event got a judge in Maine to issue a bizarre legal restraining order against Brian Camenker of MassResistance regarding an exposé of those activities, even though Camenker lives in Massachusetts and had never had any contact with the man.
This seems to follow a new, disturbing strategy of the left to personally intimidate and even terrorize prominent conservatives they don't like. One recent example involves the "SWATing" of certain conservative bloggers. A "SWAT" is calling in a false report of a terrible shooting taking place at the home address of a conservative, resulting in a police SWAT team descending on the home and terrorizing the family. Closer to home, a far-left pro-homosexual group has filed a lawsuit against Pastor Scott Lively for international "crimes against humanity" because of his pro-family activism.
MassResistance becomes a target
In 2007, Adam Flanders, a well-known Maine homosexual activist, distributed a public letter he had written himself, exposing the horrific activities of the "gay youth club" in his area and describing his own sexual activities with under-age boys there. But recently, Flanders was angry that MassResistance refused his demand to take down the letter from our website, after he had a change of heart about exposing those activities.
So Flanders filed a complaint in Belfast Maine District Court claiming the posting constituted personal "harassment" against him. In an unbelievable and outrageous turn of events, the District Court judge agreed with him and has issued a legal restraining order against Camenker, as executive director of MassResistance.
The judge also refused to hear Camenker's testimony on his own behalf on the blatant untruths in Flanders' court complaint. And although parts of the Flanders' letter are still also posted on a local newspaper website, the judge did not take that into consideration either.

2007: Incredibly incriminating public letter — exposing 'gay youth' clubs
In January 2007, Flanders — at the time a 20-year-old homosexual activist — wrote a shocking letter about the outrageous abuses going on between adults and kids in the local homosexual youth club, "OUT! . . . As I Want to Be," a non-profit group for kids with adult "advisors."
Flanders sent copies of the letter to two local police departments, other government agencies, the local news media, and various pro-family groups (including the Christian Civic League of Maine). The local news site Maine Today still has its article posted, with excerpts from the letter. The letter was also posted on the MassResistance website.
In the letter, Flanders talks about:
§ Sexual relations he had with two 14-year-old boys during group-related activities.
§ Sexual relations between older men and kids, and between youth members.
§ Drug and alcohol abuse by adults and youths.
§ An adult director who told stories to the youth about man-boy love and pedophilia at the group meetings.
§ Frequent suicide threats and attempts, which Flanders said became "a common part of our organization."
§ How the group "hands out condoms and lubricant like candy" to the youth.
Flanders concludes the letter saying: "It is my hope that the Bureau of Health will do everything in their power to seriously investigate this seemingly innocent organization that has such a dark past full of negligence, irresponsibility, sexual harassment, abuse, and ultimately emotional harm that could leave permanent scars in the lives of many vulnerable youth in Maine, or even destroy their lives completely."

It's what MassResistance has been warning about for years
This letter was a disturbing exposé of what we have been warning about for years. From everything we've seen, our belief is that this is more the rule than the exception. A number of similar "gay youth" clubs are operating across Massachusetts (funded with taxpayer money) and in other states around the country — with radical, hardcore homosexual and transgender activists "mentoring" vulnerable kids as young as middle-school age. And all the warning signs have been there for a long time. (Several homosexual volunteers for "gay youth" activities in Massachusetts have been convicted of sex crimes.)
Why did Flanders write this letter, distribute it widely, and then continue having sex with young boys? We don't know for sure. But we've long observed that adult homosexuals fixated on schoolchildren are attracted to these "youth clubs" and likely continue pursuing the youths in other venues.
The following year — Flanders convicted of sexual abuse of a minor
The following year, in July 2008, Flanders was convicted of the sexual abuse of a minor. His profile on the Maine Sex Offender Registry describes the offense as "Engage in a sexual act with another person, not the actor's spouse, who is either 14 or 15 years of age and the actor is at least 5 years older than the other person." (He had a criminal history record going back to 2006, which also includes "violating condition of release.") We've been told by people in Maine who followed this that the minor is one of the boys Flanders describes in his 2007 letter.

Angry demands to take down the posting — and threats of legal action
At some point Flanders apparently had second thoughts about exposing the horrors of the homosexual movement's activities with children so explicitly. So he decided to threaten the pro-family groups that still had it posted, to get them to take it down.
Starting in August, 2011 Flanders started sending a series of hostile emails to MassResistance saying that the letter he wrote and distributed nearly five years earlier actually constitutes "private and confidential information" that "nobody had a right to publish." He threatened legal action if we did not immediately take it down from our website. He sent similar communications to the other pro-family sites that had the letter posted, including the Christian Civic League of Maine.
All of them backed down and removed it — except MassResistance!
We were advised by a lawyer that Flanders had no legal basis for his demands. But more important, we knew that by caving into his threats we were playing into the hands of the homosexual activists who do not want the public to know what really goes on in these "gay youth" groups.
Flanders continued to send MassResistance angry emails over the next few months, threatening a wide range of legal actions. He also threatened to set government agencies on us. He told us that we could expect him to have "the assistance of GLBT advocacy organizations in Maine and/or Massachusetts" in these endeavors.
MassResistance answered his emails only once, simply to say: "We have been advised that the postings on our website to which you refer are not illegal." That was the only time we've communicated with him in any way. But it did not deter him in the least.
Flanders files fraudulent complaint against Camenker in Maine court
After MassResistance refused to remove the letter, Flanders, apparently in consultation with local homosexual groups, decided to use the tactic of going after Brian Camenker personally using the Maine restraining order statutes. He filed a formal "Complaint for Protection from Harassment" action restraining order against Camenker in the Belfast Maine District Court.
It was a complete abuse of the process and intent of harassment and restraining orders. Camenker had never met, seen, spoken to, visited, or communicated with Flanders. The organization MassResistance had simply posted a document which Flanders had written himself and distributed publicly. And it was posted nearly five years earlier.
Flanders' complaint was made up of absurd lies and dishonesties (typical of the way the homosexual movement goes after people):
§ On the official document, Flanders checked off that his complaint against Camenker involves "domestic or dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking."
§ He additionally checked off that he wants the court to order Camenker to: (a) stop harassing him; (b) have no contact with him; (c) not enter his residence; (d) refrain from repeatedly, and without reasonable cause, following him or being at, or in the vicinity of, his home, school, business or place of employment; (e) refrain from interfering with his property; and (f) pay his attorney's fees and court costs, and order any other necessary and proper relief.
§ He added the following misleading statement as his "Basis for Claim":
"In 2007 MassResistance published information about me on their website. This included criminal investigatory information and private information about me and other private citizens, including graphic sexual information about minors … I believe the actions of MassResistance constitute stalking because it has caused me serious emotional distress. It also violates the privacy of me and many others … The posting was obviously made with malice. The title reads, Letter from gay 'adult/youth' group member in Maine reveals homosexual sex with kids as young as 14 at meetings. Also drugs, alcohol, suicide threats, more. An extremely sad and troubling story. The grave danger of 'gay clubs' in your schools."
§ Interestingly, the complaint also included the first page of his letter as posted on the MassResistance website — which made it clear that Flanders himself had written it.
Read Flanders' harassment complaint against Camenker HERE
After the complaint was filed, Flanders and his cohorts hired a process server in Massachusetts to go in person to Camenker's house with it late one night.
Maine lawyer's opinion: A clearly absurd complaint
Camenker forwarded the documentation to a pro-family lawyer in Maine, and spoke with him about it. He was pretty surprised that anything like that would even be allowed, and that any judge ought to just throw it out.
Several things stood right out, in his opinion. Among them: (1) There are serious jurisdictional issues. He'd never heard of a Maine restraining order against a person or organization from out of state that did not also have any presence in Maine. (2) It is a clear abuse of process. What Flanders is claiming is not harassment or stalking by any possible definition, especially since it was presented as a public document and has been posted for nearly five years. (3) Flanders should be charged with filing a false report. He is making wild claims about Camenker that are purposefully and blatantly untrue. (4) There is also a huge First Amendment issue. Could any media outlet or any website that similarly posted Flanders' public letter be charged with harassment? These kinds of things are in fact reported on and written about all the time. The whole thing was absurd and contrary to any concept of justice.
The hearing: Hostile judge refuses to hear Camenker's testimony
The hearing on the complaint was scheduled for November 14, 2011 in Belfast, Maine before District Judge Patricia G. Worth.
Belfast is over five hours away from the MassResistance office in Massachusetts. But suppose Camenker and MassResistance were in California or another distant state? Are the "defendants" required to appear in person? We called the Belfast District Court and spoke with two people in the Clerk's office. Both of them said that due to the distance we could have a "telephone conference" hearing if we requested it in writing. Camenker submitted a letter of request to the court and it was accepted. (He was notified by phone.)
At the appointed hearing time Camenker called the courthouse and was connected to Judge Worth. She was openly hostile. Camenker first asked about the jurisdiction issue, since neither he nor MassResistance had any presence in Maine. She said she would consider that.
But then as Camenker began to bring up the other points, the Judge stopped him and said she would not accept anything else from him over the phone. But what about the "conference hearing" the court agreed to? It didn't matter, she said. The conference was now over. She wasn't accepting any testimony at all over the phone. Camenker asked if he could submit a statement in writing. No, she said, you have to be here in person — today. "But that's not what I was told by your clerks," Camenker said. That's the way it is, she answered, and ended the call. The tone of her voice was as abrupt as the conversation. We've watched many court proceedings and never saw anything quite like this.
Judge sides with homosexual activist. Issues restraining order against Camenker!
About a week later, Camenker phoned the courthouse for the "verdict." The Clerk's office said they would not tell him, but that he would have the paperwork delivered to him.
About a month later he received the official "Order of Protection from Harassment" by the State of Maine against him. Judge Worth ruled that "the plaintiff was harassed by the defendant" and she ordered a list of absurd restraining conditions — which included not contacting, visiting, interfering, following, or destroying property of the defendant — none of which Camenker had ever done in the past. The judge also, obviously, ruled that her Maine court had jurisdiction in Massachusetts.

Interestingly, the judge did NOT order that our posting of Flanders' letter be taken down. (And of course, we have it up.) So what's going on? It appears that the primary purpose of this was not to "protect" Flanders, but to "punish" Camenker personally for his willingness to confront the homosexual lobby, and his obvious "bigotry." Think about all the ways a restraining order on public record with that list of restraining conditions can affect a person. Whether or not it is completely fraudulent has no bearing.
By reading the complaint, the Judge Worth obviously could see that Flanders had written the letter himself and had presented it as a public document. But as with many liberal judges, she appears to have been far more swayed by the homosexual movement than by justice. Her unusually hostile demeanor certainly indicated that.
Will we be seeing more of this odious tactic against pro-family citizens? Absolutely. And in particular, as the "gay marriage" movement starts to regain ground in Maine, you can expect this will just be the beginning.
Does this outrage you? Is this an offensive way for a judge to act? You can contact Judge Patricia G. Worth's Belfast District Court HERE or HERE.
Further threats from Flanders (with his homosexual activist allies)
Since the restraining order, Flanders has continued to send emails to Camenker at MassResistance with further threats.
He has said he (and his well-funded supporters in homosexual activist groups) are preparing to attempt to have Camenker criminally prosecuted in Massachusetts under various "hate crime" statutes. He has also said that he is contacting businesses and others that MassResistance interacts with in our normal operations, to attempt to "shut us down." As mentioned above, this tactic is becoming more common by the homosexual movement against those they are determined to silence.
We're not caving in
We believe that we must not cave in to this. Informing people of the truth is far more important.
We've been through this before. Many of you will recall the hideous "Fistgate" incident in 2000, which we uncovered and publicized. We were subsequently sued by two different homosexual activists organizations, demanding we take down and destroy the "Fistgate tapes" (which graphically exposed their horrible activities with children), and they also sought monetary damages. It was a terrible experience. But we prevailed. The tapes are still posted here.

Christians Persecuted by Activist Judges
John R. Houk
© December 14, 2012
Secular Humanism particularly in the guise of homosexual activism is warring against Christianity in America. Here is an example.
Two gals that were Lesbians moved to Vermont take advantage of the allowance of perverted same-sex marriage. One of the Lesbians had a daughter obviously NOT with the Lesbian partner.
Then something scary to the likes of homosexual activism happened. One of the Lesbians found Jesus and abandoned the homosexual lifestyle. The reason it is scary to homosexual activists is because choice is involved rather biology. Homosexuals are not born, they are people who have made a choice.
Homosexuality by choice is not a lifestyle deserving equal rights as in race and religion. Homosexuality is a choice to live against God's law and therefore is sin. Do homosexuals have a right to believe a homosexual creed? In America the answer is yes.
A creed is a matter of belief and not a matter for American government on the Federal, State and local level to promote as an equal rights situation. And yet homosexual activists with loads of money, the support of the MSM and the entertainment media have successfully utilized activists Judges on all levels of the Judiciary to legislate heterosexual acceptance of homosexuality. The only protection a homosexual receives under the law is that as any other person receives regardless of race, religion or creed.
The key to homosexual rights thus lay with the word "creed". Creed according to Merriam-Webster:
1 a brief authoritative formula of religious belief
2 a set of fundamental beliefs; also: a guiding principle
Thus, only the unholy Church of Perverted Homosexuals or any guiding principle of a person espousing deviant same-sex practices can be used as a creed. Yes Butch, homosexuality is perverted and deviant according to God's Word in the Bible. For Christians, Biblical Morality trumps the American Medical Association and American Psychiatric Association (American Psychological Association).
22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. 23 Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion. 24 'Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. 25 For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. 26 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you 27 (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), 28 lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. 29 For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people. (Lev. 18: 22-29 NKJV)
13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. 14 If a man marries a woman and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you. (Lev. 20: 13-14 NKJV)
4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally."
6 So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, 7 and said, "Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly! 8 See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof."
9 And they said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them." So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door. 10 But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. 11 And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.
12 Then the men said to Lot, "Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city—take them out of this place! 13 For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it." (Gen. 19: 4-13, 24-25 NKJV)
7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (Jude 1:7 NKNV)
22 As they were enjoying themselves, suddenly certain men of the city, perverted men, [a] surrounded the house and beat on the door. They spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came to your house, that we may know him carnally!"
23 But the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my brethren! I beg you, do not act so wickedly! Seeing this man has come into my house, do not commit this outrage. 24 Look, here is my virgin daughter and the man's[b] concubine; let me bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them as you please; but to this man do not do such a vile thing!" 25 But the men would not heed him. So the man took his concubine and brought her out to them. And they knew her and abused her all night until morning; and when the day began to break, they let her go.
26 Then the woman came as the day was dawning, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, till it was light. (Judges 19: 22-26 NKJV)
1 So all the children of Israel came out, from Dan to Beersheba, as well as from the land of Gilead, and the congregation gathered together as one man before the LORD at Mizpah. 2 And the leaders of all the people, all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand foot soldiers who drew the sword. 3 (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.)
Then the children of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wicked deed happen?"
4 So the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "My concubine and I went into Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin, to spend the night. 5 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house at night because of me. They intended to kill me, but instead they ravished my concubine so that she died. 6 So I took hold of my concubine, cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of the inheritance of Israel, because they committed lewdness and outrage in Israel. 7 Look! All of you are children of Israel; give your advice and counsel here and now!"
9 but now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: We will go up against it by lot. 10 We will take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to make provisions for the people, that when they come to Gibeah in Benjamin, they may repay all the vileness that they have done in Israel." 11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, united together as one man.
12 Then the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What is this wickedness that has occurred among you? 13 Now therefore, deliver up the men, the perverted men[a] who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove the evil from Israel!" But the children of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the children of Israel. 14 Instead, the children of Benjamin gathered together from their cities to Gibeah, to go to battle against the children of Israel. 15 And from their cities at that time the children of Benjamin numbered twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who numbered seven hundred select men.
27 So the children of Israel inquired of the LORD (the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, 28 and Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, "Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of my brother Benjamin, or shall I cease?"
And the LORD said, "Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand."
41 And when the men of Israel turned back, the men of Benjamin panicked, for they saw that disaster had come upon them. 42 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel in the direction of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them, and whoever came out of the cities they destroyed in their midst. 43 They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and easily trampled them down as far as the front of Gibeah toward the east. 44 And eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell; all these were men of valor. 45 Then they[a] turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; and they cut down five thousand of them on the highways. Then they pursued them relentlessly up to Gidom, and killed two thousand of them. 46 So all who fell of Benjamin that day were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword; all these were men of valor.
47 But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they stayed at the rock of Rimmon for four months. 48 And the men of Israel turned back against the children of Benjamin, and struck them down with the edge of the sword—from every city, men and beasts, all who were found. They also set fire to all the cities they came to. (Judges 20: 1-7, 9-15, 27-28, 41-48 NKJV)
Judges 21 tells how the other tribes punished the Israelite inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead for not sending their allotment of soldiers to battle Benjamin that protected homosexuals and rapists. The Israelites saved 400 virgins from Jabesh Gilead for the fractional remnant of the tribe of Benjamin in order to preserve Benjamin's existence within the twelve Hebrew tribes.
Here are some thoughts from Pastor Gil Rugh:
The other tribes condemned the actions of the men in the city of Gibeah saying, "'Now then, deliver up the men, the worthless fellows in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove this wickedness from Israel.' But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the sons of Israel" (Judges 20:13). Even the people of the tribe of Benjamin who did not participate in this sinful activity believed that those who did had every right to do what they wanted, and were willing to defend their right to participate in that behavior. In fact, they were so adamant in defending the rights of the wicked, that 25,000 of them died for the cause.
Did this make any sense? The tribe of Benjamin was almost annihilated while defending the rights of a group of bi-sexual rapists. Do you see how corrupted they had become?
Many are concerned that the Church is on the same track today. The same path to acceptance that the tribe of Benjamin took in Judges 19 seems to be the way many churches are going.
The Old Testament is very clear that all homosexual activity is sin. It is an abomination to God. The Good News is that God has provided a solution for all our sins: the God-man Jesus Christ. The New Testament reveals the forgiveness, redemption and freedom from sin (including homosexuality), that God has provided through Jesus Christ. (Emphasis SlantRight)
Homosexual activists love to obfuscate the point that homosexuality is an abominable sin by pointing the Old Testament solution for homosexual sin was death. They smugly ask if Biblically Moral Christians then support executing homosexuals?
I wish I knew the modern Jewish answer to this homosexual obfuscation but I don't. The Christian answer is simple. The Crucifixion of Christ, His burial and His Resurrection has moved Believers into the Dispensation of Grace. The Blood of Jesus redeemed Believers from the curse of the Law of Moses. Part of that curse was executing homosexuals for that practice. If one discounts all the diseases associated with homosexuality it is an act that does not cause the physical death of an individual. Homosexuality is the act of persons of the same sex engaging in the godless sex voluntarily and by choice. Homosexuality is not an action that kills someone else when entered into by choice. Hence in a government of Liberty and the First Amendment homosexuality is not a capital crime. Thanks to a moral relativist Left oriented Judiciary homosexuality has moved from criminality and mental illness to forced cultural acceptance.
Under the age of Dispensational Grace Christians do not kill for sin but rather pray that the sinner overcomes sin and finds the Grace of God, the Remission of sins by Believing and becoming a joint-heir with Jesus Christ. Does this mean that Christians tolerate the practice of homosexuality within their ranks? No!
The New Testament which is the Word of God for the Dispensation of Grace specifically condemns homosexuality alongside many other sins.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1: 18, 24-28, 32 NKJV)
Now back to the two gals that started out as Lesbians in a same-sex marriage but ended in one finding Jesus and Redemption from homosexuality. Lisa Miller became the Redeemed of the Lord and is the birth mother of the daughter. Janet Jenkins is the Lesbian. Jenkins insisted on joint custody of the Miller's daughter by birth. The custody battle was in the Left Wing judiciary of the State of Vermont. Jenkins received visitation rights; however birth mother Miller who is Redeemed from homosexuality and became stalwart in her Christian beliefs did not yield to the Judges edict that a homosexual sinner should be considered a co-parent for her daughter.
A Leftist Judge displeased that the ordered visitation rights were being restricted by Miller gave full custody of the daughter to the Lesbian sinner even though she was not the birth mother. So what is a Redeemed Christian forgiven by the Blood of Jesus for Lesbianism supposed to do when the government steals her daughter and gives the child to a Lesbian of no relation based on the validation of same-sex marriage law of Vermont?
Miller found help through Christians to flee America through Canada, to Mexico and ending up in Nicaragua under the protection of a Mennonite missionary. The price for Lisa Miller's faith is to be labeled a fugitive and a perpetrator of kidnapping wanted by the law in the United States of America.
Is there a war against Christianity in America? YES!
It is time for Christians to lose the intimidation of the separation of Church and State malarkey and fight to retain our political rights to practice Christianity in the face of homosexual activist efforts to demonize Christianity. It is time to be louder that the homosexuals with money and the money backing of the MSM and the money of the entertainment industry that creates entertainment to pollute the minds of Americans into accepting the homosexual lifestyle as normal.

|Advancement of TRISO Nuclear Fuel Coaters for High Temperature Pebble Bed Nuclear Reactors: Environmentally Benign and Risk Free Proliferation 4th Generation Nuclear Energy [abstract]
|Al-Dahhan, Muthanna; Shreekanta, A.; Havran, Vesna
|University of Missouri (System)
tri-isotropic (TRISO) fuel particle coating
Power Generation
advanced high temperature gas reactors (AGRs)
spouted bed coaters
|The success on nuclear energy produced by advanced high temperature gas reactors (AGRs) is dependent on tri-isotropic (TRISO) fuel particle coating. Today modern AGRs require essentially zero defective/failed coated particles. Unfortunately, the scale-up and design of the current coating processes using gas-solid spouted beds have been based on empirical approaches and are operated as "black boxes" due to lack of fundamental understanding of the hydrodynamics of spouted bed coaters. Further complicating future fuel-coating technology and nuclear energy production is the fact that fuel kernels of different sizes and densities are required to be manufactured. Therefore, in order to prevent the large risk associated with producing particles that do not meet the specifications, a fundamental understanding of the phenomena occurring in the spouted bed TRISO coater is needed. Accordingly, the overall research objectives of this project are 1) to advance the fundamental understanding of the hydrodynamics TRISO fuel coaters by systematically investigating the effect of design and operating variables, 2) to evaluate the reported dimensionless groups as scaling factors, 3) to establish a reliable scale-up methodology for TRISO fuel particle spouted bed coaters based on hydrodynamics similarity via advanced measurement and computational techniques, and 4) to develop an on-line, non-invasive measurement technique based on gamma ray densitometry (i.e., Nuclear Gauge Densitometry) that can be installed for industrial coater process monitoring to ensure proper performance and operation and to facilitate the developed scale-up methodology. To achieve these objectives the following research tools will be implemented and/or developed: • Optical probes for solid and gas holdup and solids velocity distribution measurements. • Gamma ray computed tomography (CT) for measuring the solid and gas holdup cross-sectional distribution along the spouted bed height, spouted diameter, and fountain height. • Radioactive particle tracking (RPT) technique for measuring the 3D flow patterns and field, solids velocity, turbulent parameters, circulation time, and many others. • Gas dynamics measurement technique. • Pressure transducers. In this presentation, the results and findings that are so far obtained with will be discussed and the work in progress will be outlined.

Kai Poche actor Amit Sadh broke his ankle on the sets of his next film Guddu Rangeela in March this year and was even operated for it. The setback hasn't crushed his indomitable spirit, however, as the actor plans to go to London later this year to train to compete in international cycling competitions. He owns six cycles at home.
Few people know that you are a professional cyclist.
I have always been very good at cycling since college and state levels but then I became an actor. My injury set me back but I am determined to continue with my cycling which I enjoy. I was invited to participate in a cycling exhibition (not at the competitive level) in Sussex and north Yorkshire in June this year but I can't attend that now. But once my leg heals completely I plan to go to London for a few days in September and trainer to train me for six weeks so I can compete at the international cycling races next year. I want to compete at some stage as it's been my dream as a teenager. I think India as a country should have the correct environment to encourage cycling as it's a great sport.
Are you shattered that you couldn't participate this year?
Temporary setbacks are a part of and parcel of life. I certainly would like to stay away from mishaps but if they happen you have to live with it. I am never shattered by anything because I am never desperate for anything. I have the right amount of enthusiam and exuberance for me to keep on walking. If there's something which stops me I will stop, get better and keep on walking. This is just a small interval break.
How did you fracture your leg? Which leg?
I was shooting in Shimla and had to slide down a staircase in a mall. Even though I am very fit, while sliding down the railing, I slipped and landed awkwardsly on my right foot. They immediately rushed me to the hospital and I was operated by Dr Ashish Jain at the Ambani Hospital in Mumbai within 24 hours. Everything was arranged by production and director Subhash Kapoor. The cast including Arshad Warsi, and crew have been very supportive. I was home for two months and shot again day before in Wai for the first time since my fracture. I can walk but with a slight limp. Subhash calls to check every day to ask how I am. Nobody cares in Bollywood but everyone here has been very kind to me.
What about your other directors?
I was scared that my producers would drop me after my fracture. I signed a film with Tigmanshu Dhulia after 10 years of wanting to work with him. I called him to say that I had fractured my ankle and if he wanted he could drop me. I thought he would kick me out he rebuked me saying not to be silly and he would wait for me. Tigmanshu is a darling and I was almost in tears when he said that. It's been my dream of working with him for 10 years...
Post Kai Poche you have kept a low key profile.
I prefer to stay away from parties and events. I am not the kind of person to shout from the rooftops talking about myself. I would rather let my work speak for itself when my film releases. Now when my next film Runningshaadi.com will release in July I will do whatever my producer wants me to do. As an actor I would rather be neckdeep in preparation and in becoming the character than partying or being snapped.

Super lucky
Cute cat, super heavy, though. Great for outdoors, but technically it hour be indoors, facing the door. Came slightly chipped on the base but it is made of volcanic rock so it just added to the character. I found it to be super-lucky. :o)Read More
Love This
Have been looking for something like this for quite a while, but anything Maneki Neko tends to be expensive and small, and not suitable for outdoor use. Just received mine last week, fast shipping. It's a nice, heavy, well made item with beautifully done detailing, and it's a good size for the price. Even though it is a dark color, the details are clear. Not sure if I will use this indoors or outdoors--it's nice to have the option to use it either place. I liked it so much I just ordered another one for my sister.Read More
Love this Little Cat!
I loved the little cat, but really didn't like the color,a greyish color. So I spray-painted it red. It looks GREAT in my garden, by my deck steps, welcoming visitors. It's small, so you'll want to place it among smaller plants for it to be in scale with them. I really, really like it, and will order more lawn ornaments in future. Since its symbols are carved-in, they still show with the new coat of paint.Read More
Cute statue, inaccurate size description
Nice looking little statue even though mine seems to be rather miniature in size compared with the description ( 10.5 x 4.5 x 4.5 /. the box it came in was about the size described, but not the statue itself ). Statue was very well packaged ! Had the size description been correct I would have given it five stars.Read More

lucky cat
My lucky cat is black, but would probably show details better in brown. Other than that, he is totally precious. I like him standing on an base--with protectors on the bottom, too. He is cute in his own right and is special because he isn't a garden-variety lawn statue like a gnome..Read More

I'm afraid the water in the swimming pool wasn't very clean or over'stuffed' with chemicals [I smelled from it the whole day]. Although I enjoyed my swim and the rather nice small pool area, I got rashes on my skin the next day. Although the Hotel is very nice, rooms and breakfast too, a bit pricey but very agreeable and calm, I wonder if one could / should accept the pool.

Medvedev: Because people quickly get addicted to drugs. Trading gas and oil is our drug. People can't get enough of it, even when prices are going through the roof. Five years ago, who could have imagined an oil price of $150 a barrel? Trading in natural resources is easy, it leads to the illusion of economic stability. Money flows in -- considerable sums of money. Acute problems can be effectively resolved with it. You don't need any economic reforms; you don't need to deal with diversifying production. We could rid ourselves of this lethargy if we would only learn the right lessons from the crisis.
SPIEGEL: This doesn't appear to be happening, which is precisely why many Russians are scoffing at their president's criticism of the state of the nation. They see too wide a gap between expectations and reality.
Medvedev: I do in fact have the feeling that many are sitting back again and waiting for more mega-profits. This might go well for a while. But making no money available for investments in industry and agriculture is leading our country nowhere. And this despite the fact that the energy sector experiences revolutions at regular intervals and no one knows whether we will need the same quantities of oil and gas in 2050 as we do today.
SPIEGEL: Since your country has not made progress in modernizing the economy, it has been particularly hard hit by the crisis. This is normally blamed on the government. In such situations, former Russian Presidents Vladimir Putin and Boris Yeltsin always dismissed the prime minister.
Medvedev: Our economy's dependency on natural resources did not arise during Putin's term as president, but rather 40 years ago. It will take a long time to change that. Take a look at a map of Russia, acquaint yourselves with our balance of trade and our export surpluses, take into consideration what social obligations we have -- and then look at how much tax revenue we generate through oil and gas. Then you will understand everything. And, finally, over the past 10 years, the government has not once been dismissed for failing to fulfill its duties.
SPIEGEL: Let's talk about your relationship to Putin. It remains a mystery how Russia's president and its prime minister relate to each other. Are you pursuing a dual strategy to support the current system? Putin appeals to the traditionally minded sectors of society, and you appeal to the liberal minority and the West?
Medvedev: There is certainly no doubt that our tandem works smoothly. And this despite the fact that there had been many predictions that we would soon have a falling-out. Of course we each have our own ideas and styles. Under no circumstances would I want us to eventually resemble the aging Politburo leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, who always wore exactly the same coats and the same hats when they climbed up the steps of Lenin's Mausoleum, so that it was impossible to tell Leonard Brezhnev from (prominent Politburo member) Mikhail Suslov.
SPIEGEL: Putin's recent comment about the next presidential election greatly astonished many in the West. When asked which of you will stand for election, he said that the two of you would "sit down and reach an agreement" regarding what happens in 2012. Former President Gorbachev was shocked. He said that if an agreement was to be reached with anyone, it would have to be with the electorate. But the people apparently don't play a role any more.

Zooming In On Star Formation In The Southern Milky Way
August 20, 2014
This zoom sequence takes the viewer deep into the spectacular southern Milky Way in the constellation of Carina (The Keel). We see two regions where stars are forming, the very rich cluster NGC 3603 and its surroundings and the strange glowing gas clouds known as NGC 3576. The final detailed views come from images taken with the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find my username and purchase code?
For the purpose of verification, please use your Envato-account username. You can follow these instructions to obtain your purchase code.
I am getting a 500 server error. How can I solve this?
In 95% of cases, installation problems are due to issues with mod_rewrite on buyers' systems.
The easiest solution is to deactivate the rewriting feature.
You can simply do this by following the instructions in the following file: "app/Config/rewrite-core.php".
Are you using Rackspace and getting a 500 error?
If you are using Rackspace and have installed the app to the root of a (sub)domain, you need to add "RewriteBase /" to all three of the .htaccess files: ".htaccess". "app/.htaccess" and "app/webroot/.htaccess". After refreshing, the 500 error should disappear.
I need customisations, can you help?
I'm afraid not. I do not currently offer my services on a freelance basis.
I want to create a button which opens the chat when clicked. Is that possible?
Of course it is. And here you go:
Open Chat
Can I translate the system into my own language?
Translating the system into other languages (currently the system features British English, American English and German) is easily possible by following these steps:
1. Duplicate the directory "app/Locale/en_gb" and rename it to "app/Locale/dan" (e.g. "dan" for a Danish translation)
2. Open the files within "app/Locale/dan/LC_MESSAGES" with Poedit ( www.poedit.net ) and translate all strings to your own language
3. Open the file "app/Lib/GlobalClasses.php" and look for "AppLanguages" around line 189. Duplicate one of the items in the array and change the key to your language code, and the value to the display-name of your language
4. Simply go to your configuration-section, select the new language and you are ready to go after saving your changes
I am getting the error message "No input file specified". What can I do?
Usually, all you need to do is the following:Open the root .htaccess file and add "RewriteBase /" like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L] RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L] </IfModule>
Using GoDaddy?After you pointed your subdomain to "app/webroot/", change the contents of "app/webroot/.htaccess" to this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L] </IfModule>
When I click the chat's header, it does not open. How can I solve this?
The reason your chat does not slide open is that you are using an outdated version of jQuery.
You need to update jQuery to at least 1.9.x. Should any of your plugins not yet be compatible with this newer version, please also include the jQuery Migrate Plugin.
Can I change the sound notifications?
Windows: you can change it by placing your own .wav-file in "C:\Users\{UserName}\Program Files (x86)\ClientEngage\VisitorChat\"... Minus the "(x86)" if you're on a 32bit machine
Web: "app/webroot/files/notification/". Use the same file-name and replace the wav, ogg and mp3 files. You can use http://media.io/ to convert your sound notification.
I have moved the software to a different domain/directory | I have changed hosting providers and now the system is blank. What can I do?
There are three steps you need to perform in order to get your system running again:
1. Open "app/Config/database.php" and change your database details (if they changed)
2. Open the following directories and delete all files in them: "app/tmp/cache/persistent" and "app/tmp/cache/models" – do not delete the directories themselves, only the files
3. Make sure you re-apply write access to the respective directories as outlined in the manual
How can I create my own default avatar?
For the public-facing chat, you can accomplish this by doing the following:
- File: app/View/Contents/chat_javascript.ctp
- Go to line 785 and look for "d=identicon"
- Change it to "d=mm" for a human's silhouette
- Or change it to "d=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fimages%2Favatar.jpg" for a custom image (URL-encoded)
If you want to do this in the admin, you need to apply the same changes to:
- app/View/Contents/admin_chat_javascript.ctp (search for "identicon" to find the line)
- app/View/Helpers/LayoutHelper.php (search for "identicon" to find the line)
If you are not sure how to URL-encode the URL to your image, you can paste it into this tool, hit "Encode" and then use the resulting URL-encoded string.
When to contact Help Team
Authors are experts on their own items, but if you're having trouble using Envato Market you should come straight to Help Team.

OK....So Now What.....Rims
Hello all...............I just put on some plastic dip paint to my rims...........Now what....they are looking kind of plain. Any suggestions? Please dont tell me i should have left them the way they were:LOL:
Copper on the rim of the rim. Maybe? Just the very edge, not overkill??????
Bones, they look good. Perhaps the lug nuts as well would look good. What do you think ? Personally I think the rim would be a bit too much. Anyway your truck looks awesome, you have done a great job....
Thanks..............I think tommorow i will do the tips of the lug nuts and see what it looks like from there.............Then who knows:LOL:just seems to plain to me.............:4-dontknow:
I agree, I think the lugs will give it the look you are after. IMHO
:smileup:Im hoping so..........I will do a little bit at a time i guess that way i can stand back a see the progression:LOL:
That really looks good bones, I like the not-so-shiny look of that, but yeah, copper lug nuts would really set that off! Nice job on that! :smileup:
- Cajun
Start off small.....if that doesn't do it then add more. Overkill is bad!
:smileup: nice work on the rims bones they turned out great.
I like them as is actually. How easily did the dip work for you?
