Patrick Gorry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patrick J. Gorry (14 July 1896 – 23 October 1965) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician. A farmer, he was first elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) for the Leix–Offaly constituency at the September 1927 general election.[1] He was re-elected at the 1932 general election but lost his seat at the 1933 general election.[2] He re-gained his seat at the 1937 general election and was re-elected at each subsequent general election until he lost his seat at the 1951 general election. He was elected to the 7th Seanad in 1951 on the Agricultural Panel. He was defeated at the 1954 Seanad election.

Supreme Court
Karl Rove is involved in this affair and that alone is sufficient evidence of a larger issue that MSM is not addressing. Thank Goodness for Andrew Kreig and the Justice Integrity Project pointing out the hidden issues
We're waiting for the leaks about Wikileaks.
It may well be the course of legal & democratic law, But the public of the world is know longer nieve & in the dark about how corrupt avenues of governments work, this matter is not about just standing to answer rape charges, If it is seen by the people of the world to be a corrupt way of dealing with an out-spoken Journalist, law as we know it will be seen as even more corrupt than the manipulation of the world governments,
With the speed of our technology, governments would do well to realize they are in the firing line of modern people, they are, & will be judged on there actions & there very public view of human rights,
Now the people of the world are voicing there need for open & transparent governments, If by some stroke of a pen, Julian Assange ended-up in the USA, woe-behold the people involved, let alone the country's & there governments, as time passes, governments need there people to join the armed forces, & stand -by there country in times of war & conflict, people will not stand by a corrupt government, this is seen by US citizens traveling around the world on Canadian passports & showing a Canadian flag on there bags,
If Julian Assange ends-up in the USA, it will be seen as the British government was involved, It will be seen that the Swedish government & its people are but a puppet of the world dominance of the American government,
I predict that Julian Assange will be found not guilty of these charges of rape, & will then be transfused to the USA .
Your sex life is not over even though you Have an STD. Find others withg std singles at site named http://www.PositiveFishes.com.. However, once you settle down and learn the facts, you'll realize that having STD is not the end of the world, and it's not the end of your social life.
No means no, even if you are a self-described celebrity and a media darling.
Rigged set up and Cover Up are Conspiracy Theories - regardless of the biased banter and hyperbole.
JA has given freedom of the press a whole new contemporary meaning and truth/threat level!
When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
The Declaration of Independence words of wisdom hold just as true today - like 200 years ago.
It is our Duty to stand up against tyranny, cronyism and corruption that has become absolute despotism.
Stand up and fight for your American way of life;
or Let it Go!
We don't need an American way of life; & nor dose the rest of humanity, Human beings just need to be heard, & be listen to, & then a democratic & fare social order, we don't need to belong to a country that sent children in to fight a war in Laos, in 1971, or shows the world that it can blatantly disregard human rights,or manipulate governments in order to stop publications of journalists telling the truth, Julian Assange is one that is very relevant, the world is never going to obtain peace, but the people of corrupt Governments will stand trial in the minds of all humans.

Here is what you need to know about Friday's gay-marriage ruling.
If blockbusters Supreme Court battles ended the way sports championships do, U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli would be soaked in champagne and showered with Gatorade. And Jones Day partner Michael Carvin, the lawyer for the losing plaintiffs, would glumly file back into a hushed locker room.
Who are the Americans accused of trying to join ISIS? A new study released this morning by Fordham Law School's Center on National Security breaks down the numbers.

Could Tom Brady's testimony to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodel be governed by the same perjury rules that apply to typical court proceedings or depositions? Answering the question requires one to journey through the finer points of New York's perjury code.

Flip Wilson: What you saw wasn't all you got
Forty years ago, Flip Wilson was the biggest thing in television.
In its first two seasons on NBC, "The Flip Wilson Show" was the second-most watched program on TV. His comic characters spawned two of the medium's hottest catchphrases, "The devil made me do it" and "What you see is what you get!" (The latter lives on in its acronym, a computer application that allows you to see what a document you're working on will look like - WYSIWYG.) He jump-started the careers of the two biggest names in comedy, George Carlin and Richard Pryor. In January 1972, Time magazine had him on the cover, calling him "TV's First Black Superstar." »Read Full Article
Vitrano lifts up 'Trailer Park Prophecies'
True to its title, Jim Farrell's "Trailer Park Prophecies" — now receiving its world premiere, in a Farrell-directed production by Splinter Group Theatre — really does feature a psychic who lives in a trailer.
Charlie Wendel (Joe Picchetti) dwells there with his mother (Linda Loving), and that's where we first meet them, as the geeky and hyper Charlie dive bombs the Wendel couch, hoping it will cough up enough loose change to warrant a trip to the Tastee Freez. »Read Full Article
Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, Brandy Clark coming to Riverside
Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles is going solo for a new album, "That Girl," and a new tour that takes her to the Riverside Theater March 14.

Cinnamon-Apple Crostata
Home-baked apple pie? Oh my! It's simple when you start with refrigerated pie crust, and it's simply over-the-top with caramel-pecan topping.
Tart apples, such as Granny Smith, McIntosh or Haralson, make the most flavorful pies. Eating apples, like Red Delicious, do not cook down as much during baking.
Two 21-ounce cans of apple pie filling can be substituted for the fresh apple filling. Toasted, chopped walnuts may be substituted for the pecans.

VANS Downtown Showdown 2010 Hamburg - All Highlights
A Skateboarding video by quattro_media - 5,722 views
On Saturday, 14th August, Hamburg's Red Light District hosted the biggest skateboard event the German harbour city has ever seen - the Vans Downtown Showdown 2010.
Over 5'000 people visited the Spielbudenplatz throughout the day, witnessing nine of Europe's best Skateboard teams battle it out against each other.
Vans brought to life the creative concepts of four of the earlier selected skateboard brands and their idea for the ultimate obstacle - each inspired by Hamburg's naughty and nautical past and present. The designs by Cliché, Element Europe, Death Skateboards and Antiz were realised by famous ramp builder Andreas "Schützi" Schützenberger of IOU Ramps and installed on the Reeperbahn to be skated for one day only.
Overall winner in the Pro Category is Sam Partaix (FRA) from Team Antiz. Best Amateur is the young Belgian Philippe Zwijsen (BEL). He also won the "best overall team" challenge with his team mates: Ross McGouran (GBR), Mickael Mackrodt (GER) and Guillaume Mocquin (FRA) from Team Element Europe.

I am a Ph.D. student in Anthropology at Stanford University. I am in Amman conducting research on citizenship and kinship in Jordan. I am usually based out of San Francisco but am currently living in Amman, Jordan while doing research. I enjoy cooking/grilling on the terrace, watching old films and all HBO TV shows, reading (currently Saul Bellow), writing and/while hanging out about Amman cafes. I love having dinner parties and friends over. I am social but very respectful of other people's space. No real life motto -- as Airbnb seems to suggest I should -- other than, live and let live, I suppose. Ciao - E.P.

Dave vs Dave trademark dispute drags on
By Maisie McCabe, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Friday, 22 July 2011 11:20AM
Dave, the Engine-owned branding consultancy, is considering its options after Dave, the UKTV-owned TV channel, submitted evidence supporting its appeal against a European legal ruling rejecting the TV channel's trademark application.
In January, the European Union's Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market rejected an application from Dave, the TV channel, to register the name Dave as a trademark, after opposition from the branding consultancy.
Dave, the TV channel, was given two months to say whether it would appeal, and then two further months to submit its grounds for appeal. Dave submitted its grounds for appeal on 26 May.
The crux of the TV channel's argument is that OHIM's decision is based on a "fundamental misunderstanding" of the UK law of passing off and an "entirely wrong assessment of the factual circumstances".
Even if a trademark has not been registered, brands can still have right to a mark under the law of passing off, if they can prove the following three things: the mark is theirs; they have built up a reputation in the mark, and they have been harmed in some way by the other person's use of the mark.
In the original ruling, the branding consultancy was given rights to the name Dave in a wide range of categories. As it works with brands on TV activity such as product placement, it was granted rights in TV, even though it has never been a broadcaster.
David Cran, one of the IP partners at Reynolds Porter Chamberlain, said: "It appears that OHIM may not have applied the law of passing off correctly. You would expect the Dave Soho brand consultancy to have prior rights in relation to brand consultancy, but it is surprising that it was considered to have such broad rights, which even covered broadcasting.
"Passing off is an English law, rather than a European, concept and for it to apply, you generally need to have all three of the 'classical trinity' of goodwill, misrepresentation and damage. It is not clear that the public thinks, or would be likely to think, that the Dave TV channel and the Dave branding consultancy are related, or what damage would be caused.
"This case also reaffirms the importance of running comprehensive trademark clearance checks. It is often advisable to search for not only registered trademarks, but also unregistered rights that could be relevant prior to launching a brand, so any issues can be resolved at an early stage."
OHIM wrote to the branding consultancy on 9 June to inform it of UKTV's appeal and has given it two months to submit observations on the appeal.
A spokesman for the branding consultancy said: "The response from UKTV is part of the ongoing legal process and we are reviewing the developments with our advisors. We have nothing additional to say at this stage."
A spokeswoman for UKTV declined to comment.

Britt Hayes is a writer, movie lover, and sensible sweater enthusiast living in Austin, Texas. She watches too much TV and never eats her vegetables. Her mom is worried about her.
Well, we don't know about you guys, but we've resigned ourselves to our new nostalgia machine overlords. Their latest decree: the film reboot of the long-running 'Power Rangers' TV series will officially hit theaters in 2016. That gives you plenty of time to figure out an excuse for where you need to be that day -- whether that's an excuse so you can go see the movie or an excuse to avoid it is up to you. The power is yours. Wait. That was 'Captain Planet.'
Lauren Bacall, the legendary actress who gave us memorable performances in classic films like 'Key Largo' and 'How to Marry a Millionaire,' has sadly passed away at the age of 89. A talented woman who appeared in many films in the Golden Age of Hollywood, Bacall was a true silver screen icon.
If you're looking for something to watch in the comfort of your own home, Netflix has some great new titles hitting Instant in August, including the long-awaited fourth season of 'The Killing.' Read on for our guide to the best new titles coming to Netflix Instant in August 2014.
While 'Godzilla 2' and 'Warcraft' were definitely big draws at Legendary's panel today at Comic-Con 2014, the studio had a surprise up its sleeve: the announcement of 'Skull Island.' And if that name sounds familiar to you, that's because it's the birthplace of King Kong.
It's been a long and dusty trip to 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' but the new sequel/spinoff starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron is finally here, making an official appearance at the Warner Bros. panel at Comic-Con 2014. Original franchise writer and director George Miller is back with an all-new, action-packed post-apocalyptic tale, and he's brought some footage with him.
Did you hear the one about getting married and having a family? When you get married and have children, you no longer get to have sex. This basic knowledge has become such a tired movie cliche and yet entire films continue to be built around it, including 'Sex Tape,' the new film that reunites 'Bad Teacher' director Jake Kasdan with his stars Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel -- a combination that should make for easy entertainment, but instead lends itself to exasperated groans.
It is with great sadness that we bring you the news that Elaine Stritch, the iconic actress of Broadway, film and television has passed away at the age of 89. Stritch, who was nominated for many Tony and Emmy awards and won three of the latter, was known best in recent years for her role as Colleen Donaghy, mother of Jack, on '30 Rock.'
This Labor Day weekend, for one week only, you can see the 1984 comedy classic 'Ghostbusters' on the big screen, digitally restored in all its slimy, Stay-Puft glory. And now Sony has delivered a special 30th anniversary trailer for the film, which will also be getting a special Blu-ray re-release. Hail Gozer!
The first official trailer is now online for 'Jimi: All Is by My Side,' the new biopic following the life of legendary rock musician Jimi Hendrix, whose iconic career was cut tragically short when he died in 1970 at the age of 27. Andre Benjamin, aka Andre 3000 and one-half of hip hop duo Outkast, plays the soulful guitarist and singer in the new film, and he certainly seems to be a perfect fit.
It's hard to keep things fresh in your relationship after 10 years of marriage and two kids -- which is why Cameron Diaz straps on a pair of rollerskates (and very little else) in the first clip from 'Sex Tape,' in an effort to try and seduce her husband while the kids are away for the night.
If you're looking to avoid theater crowds and take advantage of that Netflix subscription, July has a whole lot of new stuff to offer, including new original content from the streaming service, like 'Hemlock Grove' season 2 and Netflix's new anime series 'Knights of Sidonia.' Read on for our guide to the best new releases hitting Netflix Instant in July 2014.
We've been hearing buzz about some of Paramount's major plans for a while now, but the studio finally confirmed their 2016 release line-up recently at CineEurope (the European version of CinemaCon, a major theater convention), and included on the list are lots of sequels, like 'Beverly Hills Cop 4,' 'Transformers 5,' and -- wait, what's this? -- 'Paranormal Activity 5,' which has been bumped back once again.

Shuffling his second-term Cabinet, President Barack Obama plans to nominate Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan to be budget director and is considering San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro to succeed Donovan, according to people familiar with the selection process.
Shuffling his second-term Cabinet, President Barack Obama plans to nominate Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan to be budget director and is considering San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro to succeed Donovan, according to people familiar with the selection process.
The moves would raise the profile of two men with close ties to the president.
Donovan is an original member of Obama's Cabinet and is well-liked within the White House, where officials have lauded his work overseeing the government's response to Hurricane Sandy.
As budget director, he would have significant influence over the administration's policy and spending priorities.

Castro's star has been on the rise since Obama picked him to deliver the keynote address at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. The 39-year-old Castro is considered a possible vice presidential pick in 2016.
If Castro is nominated to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development and is confirmed by the Senate, he would become one of the highest-ranking Hispanic officials in the Obama administration.
A person familiar with the selection process said Donovan has been offered the budget director job and has accepted. A person with knowledge of Castro's vetting said the mayor has expressed interest in the housing job and plans to accept if it is offered following a formal screening process.
Both people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the situation ahead of an official announcement from the White House. The White House said Saturday that it had no personnel announcements to make.
Obama has previously tried to offer Castro a Cabinet post, but the mayor decided to stay in San Antonio and handily won a third term last year.
"This was a job I really did look forward to growing up, when I thought about politics," Castro said in 2011. "So I'm not in a hurry to leave."
Still, Castro and his brother have become popular figures on the Democratic fundraising circuit. Julian Castro in particular is seen as a possible running mate in 2016 for a party that has staked its success in presidential elections in part on winning broad support from Hispanics.
Serving in Obama's Cabinet would help broaden Castro's experience beyond local politics.
HUD plays a key role in the "Promise Zone" initiative, a federal effort to revitalize high-poverty communities by increasing economic activity, improving educational opportunities and leveraging private capital. San Antonio was among the first cities that received a grant for the program from the administration.
Donovan has overseen the department throughout Obama's presidency. The 48-year-old is seen by Obama advisers as a strong manager and was tapped in 2012 to oversee the administration's response efforts after Sandy battered the East Coast.
"In the aftermath of Sandy, when we thought about who was somebody who we had confidence could drive a process to make sure that the federal, state and local coordination delivered for the people who had been affected, and that we could rebuild both on the New York side and the Jersey side as effectively as possible and as quickly as possible, Shaun came to mind," Obama said Wednesday during a fundraiser in New York that Donovan also attended.
The director of the Office of Management and Budget is a Cabinet-level post under Obama. Those who have held the job earlier in the administration, including current Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, have played crucial roles in setting budget priorities and negotiating fiscal agreements with Congress.
If confirmed by the Senate, Donovan would take over from Sylvia Mathews Burwell, who was nominated to lead Department of Health and Human Services after Kathleen Sebelius resigned this year.
Schmall reported from Fort Worth, Texas.

A news update for the customers, suppliers and staff of Grindrod Limited July 2009 We have certainly experienced some extraordinary times since the last quarter of 2008! GRINDROD - 'Fourth-best shipping company in the world' The effects of the financial crisis are still being felt across the world. So how has Grindrod fared in these challenging times? The markets within which Grindrod operates have certainly not been immune to weaker economic conditions. However, having said this, Grindrod was, during 2008, in the process of positioning itself for a downturn in markets. Our strategy was to capitalise on the extremely high value of ships, by selling some ships, and by increasing our contrac- tual earnings cover position both in the Shipping Division and Freight Services Division. These actions have resulted in Grindrod being very well po- sitioned with an extremely strong balance sheet, high levels of liquidity and good cash flows. The efforts of our staff during these challenging times, and FROM THE BRIDGE the support from our customers, partners and suppliers, is greatly appreciated. Thank you to all of you. Finally, Grindrod has again done extremely well in the Marine with Alan Olivier Money International Shipping Company Rankings by being placed 4th against all listed worldwide shipping companies.

Fusion welding
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fusion welding is a generic term for welding processes that rely upon melting to join materials of similar compositions and melting points.[1]:755 Due to the high-temperature phase transitions inherent to these processes, a heat-affected zone is created in the material[1]:755 (although some techniques, like beam welding, often minimize this effect by introducing comparatively little heat into the workpiece[1]:778).
Contrast with solid-state welding which does not involve melting of materials.
Types of fusion welding include:[2]
- Arc welding
- Oxy-fuel welding
- Electric resistance welding
- Laser beam welding
- Electron beam welding
- Thermite welding
- ^ a b c Schey, John A. (2000) [1977], Introduction to Manufacturing Processes, McGraw-Hill series in mechanical engineering and materials science (3rd ed.), McGraw-Hill Higher Education, ISBN 978-0-07-031136-7, retrieved May 15, 2010,
In the great majority of applications, the interatomic bond is established by melting. When the workpiece materials (base or parent materials) and the filler (if used at all) have similar but not necessarily identical compositions and melting points, the process is referred to as fusion welding or simply welding.
