Commander In Nerf: Obama To Request Military Action Against JV Team
I didn't know NERF made sabers.
Source: President Obama is expected to formally ask Congress to authorize the use of military force against the Islamic State terror group in the coming days, even as lawmakers said crafting and passing such a measure would be a challenge.
Let's not forget that before the 2014 elections, President Obama and Democrats downplayed the nature of ISIS. Could it be because when Obama hastily abandoned the war against terror, it allowed ISIS to flourish in the vacuum Obama created?
Now he wants authority to go deal with the threat?
Maybe he could have listened to his critics and experts before making a promise to his adoring anti-war supporters. Imagine if the media bothered to cover the facts anymore. Home many hostages would have avoided capture and death….
Sickens me that my country has a President like this.
Klobuchar Approves Of Benghazi Coverup
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton washed her hands of any responsibility in the murders of 4 Americans and cover up by the Obama administration.
Don't forget, that with in moments of the terrorist attack, the Obama administration put more into the political response then they did into a security response.
So what does Minnesota's Senior Senator who was first elected to "ask tough questions" have to say?
Accountability is a 4 letter word to Democrats. Our nation is in chaos, and Democrats are looking to the next election, not solving the problems facing our nation.
The Other September 11th We Must Never Forget
The Obama administration has blood on its hands over the Benghazzi attacks. Don't forget that the same people demanding we bomb Syria today, did nothing when American lives were at risk. What's worse is that they tried to blame the deaths on an American who made a stupid video on the internet rather than accept responsibility and admit the truth.
They did nothing when Americans were under attack in that Embassy. Ever since September 11, 2012, they have done what ever they could to cover up the facts that show how inept and derelict they are.
While I normally repost my Never Forget on this day, I chose to post this little video of the lady who was responsible for the security of the American lives lost. They were under her watch and supervision and died on the job. She's a power hungry career politician who will do and say whatever she has to to achieve power for her egomaniacal quest to change America into a socialist utopia.
Democrats used to be upset at Republicans for remembering what happened in New York, Pennsylvania, and to the Pentagon in 2001. They would accuse us of politicizing it, and replaying the video of the Towers falling to drum up the public support for wars that they opposed. But now they are the ones waving flags trying to ramp up the Patriotism to support a war with no calculable benefit for America.
You see, I'm tired of people who used to slam Bush and Republicans for being war mongers waging those same wars, starting new ones, spying on Americans, and fucking up the world and America in their little quest to play Sim City with America. Like Foreign Policy is a burden when they really just want to control us little ants in the farm.
The Obama administration has spent more time and resources trying to undermine the American people, to divide and conquer us, in his (and don't forget Hillary's) quest to have a chicken in every pot. They are waging a political war on American soil trying to fundamentally transform the once greatest nation in the world, into a centrally planned bureaucratic nightmare where freedom, liberty, and personal responsibility are illegal. They didn't start it, its been going on for decades, but they are the ones finally pulling the trigger on policies designed to undo America's exceptionalism.
Where is Dennis Kucinich when you need him to introduce an impeachment bill on Obama?
He's waging wars and getting people killed around the globe all to distract us from the progressive domestic agenda to destroy this country.
I'm sick of seeing Obama's face everywhere. I'm sick of him politicizing everything to suit his unAmerican agenda. I'm sure by the weekend he will be speaking to a crowd of political drones with that with the usual rhythmic cadence that sways emotions instead of logic and reason, not to mention that goll darn pesky obstacle known as the Constitution. He'll be blaming Republicans for something, making them the bad guy for his policies failing, or beating them up over some issue to mislead the American public in to supporting policies that are bad for them. And if the polls are really against him, he'll probably go back to having someone faint in the front of the crowd at each and every rally.
An example would be "immigration reform". Good reform to Obama is to just allow citizens from other countries to magically become American citizens with all of our rights and benefits (aka: Government handouts to make them dependent on Democrat policies). Its a goll darn election tactic folks. These are people that have likely been breaking laws for decades in some instances that we are now being morally challenged to show compassion to because their home country sucks so bad they have no choice but to sneak into America and steal our jobs, entitlements, and educations. Rather than use the power of his Presidency to help Mexico become a place people can find a good job, be safe, education, and such, we're going to change or ignore our own laws because its compassionate? No it would be compassionate and the right thing to do to help change Mexico for the better.
Yes, I said Obama has an unAmerican agenda.
May God bless the families of all those who have senselessly lost their lives under Obama and Clinton's watch, and may God bless the American people that we take elections seriously from now on and never make such a colossal series of mistakes in the voting booths that puts people that really hate the things that made America so great for over 200 years into office.
I'm tired of people being taken seriously who want to legalize theft and criminalize success.
Redistribution of wealth is theft. You don't have a right to be lazy but still get everything handed to you. Eventually you will run out of other people to tax in order to get your free stuff.
America has no moral authority to pick sides in a civil war where one side is a murderous dictator and the other side is who tried to kill 150,000 Americans 12 years ago. Al Qaeda is the rebels in Syria folks.
Frankly Obama and the Democrats have done more damage to America in the last 5 years than the terrorists did in the last 12. That is something that I will never forget and I hope my fellow Americans wake the fuck up.
We are being manipulated. We are being used to install Marxism in America. These people lie on a daily basis and manipulate the news to suit their deceitful and dangerous agenda.
They lie and people die. But why? So you will surrender another freedom, another choice, and allow them to impose their will on you, your neighbors, and the people who employ you because they don't think its fair that some people are more successful than others (unless of course they write a big enough check to the campaign.
Fucking commies.
Yes, I am really angry. You should be too. These people are doing everything they accused Bush of doing, but they are doubling down and actually making the world a more dangerous place. Bush destabilized the Middle East, but Obama has set in on fire. Who the hell are the good guys? Everyone kills everyone just because….
I've come to realize that our attempts at defeating terror was a mistake. Maybe we shouldn't have gone into Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe we could have done things differently, taken a different approach or not at all. Fought the wars differently, or not at all. But what I don't understand is why we are still fighting Bush's war when the people who opposed it from the beginning are now in charge of giving the go codes to those drone strikes?
It makes no sense. What the American government is doing under Obama's administration on our soil to our own people, not abroad, makes no damn sense. Why would they be doing exactly what they opposed for a foreign policy so vehemently after September 11, 2001? What are we or the world to gain by lobbing a few missiles and bombs into Syria? Dare I say, to blow up an Aspirin factory or something? A distraction? Another Cold war to make the American people galvanize around the party in power? Maybe we can get a 3rd term for Obama….
Sure, it could be this is the last chance to establish the perception of us being a serious world power before Russia rebuilds its a Soviet era world alliance. But that ship has sailed folks. We'd better wake the fuck up quick here at home and repeal these progressive laws and environmental bullshit because we have a cruel world coming where countries will be forced to choose between dealing with little old America desperate for fuel, food, and resources or the mighty Putin Axis of evil. We are going to need to be self dependent on resources, food, and fuel or we're going to be begging from China and Russia. That's their play in the Middle East. Control of the resources.
Rambling rant as usual, but I'm angry. I'm angry and you should be too. We're being lied to and manipulated. There's no logic as to why Obama is doing anything he is. Why Obamacare? Why the domestic spying? Why blame that movie for the murders in Benghazzi? Why bomb Assad? Why is his Treasury reporting $0 added to the national debt when we are running deficits over a hundred billion dollars? Why are federal agents being killed by guns that Obama bought illegally, smuggled to Mexico, and gave to drug cartels? Meanwhile they are trying to take them away from law abiding Americans?
What the fuck is this administration really up to? If you compare their past statements and intentions *if* they get elected, to what they are actually doing, there seems to be a design, a plan. Its not going to happen overnight. It will take quite a while, years, decades, but they will eventually succeed. It took them 50 years to get to the doorstep of socialized medicine. Obamacare isn't the end goal, its the trojan horse that will destroy the current health care market we have, requiring a total Government take over.
"What difference does it make?" she screams when her incompetence is exposed and people are murdered. You saw how angry Clinton was when being questioned about Benghazzi. I get that angry every damn time I hear about what Obama is going to do *to* the country I love so much. Not *for* it, but *to* America. His acceptance speak in Chicago on Election night in 2008 still gives me chills (bad ones). Fundamentally transform America….
I believe it is all by design. America is dying the death of a thousand cuts at the hands of its own President with the aid of the Democrat party. The ideas they hold dear for how to run a country are not founded in our Constitution, they are founded in the polices of Marxism. They don't want to just run the country better than Republicans, they want to rule over the country and its people.
We must remove any politician who supports the policies of progressives from office electorally. Peacefully. We must take our country back from those who clearly hate it. We must educate the public into understanding that free markets, freedom, liberty, and Capitalism is why we have what we have. Marxism first requires the creation of wealth. Why? Because socialism doesn't allow growth, it levels the playing field equally. Equal misery if you will. Not everyone is going to get to live in a penthouse if we just eliminate the 1%. Nope, the end result of the goal of the Democrats is a crappy life for everyone, but hey, everyone has the saem crappy life so there won't be any envy. They don't hate the Red, White, and Blue, but they hate the way we got here and they want to make sure they decide what's best for you from now on.
So why are we waging wars around the world again when we were lead to believe they were wars of choice by Senators Obama, Clinton, and Kerry? Wag the dog my friends. Wag the dog.
"If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." – Spock
Today In The Idiocracy
The very things Obama and the media had to claim were not happening are now being used to make the case for Obama's push for Stalinism.
We have no other choice but to surrender our liberty, freedoms, choice, but most importantly property to the Government so they alone can save this nation.
When Government controls the media, and the media agrees with Government… you get the idea but for 4 years we heard that Obama inherited this mess. the truth is that he maintained the mess, made it worse, all so he could get reelected then use it to force socialism upon the American people.
More Bad News On Obama's Foreign Policy Priorities
In a May 3, 2012, email, the State Department denied a request by a group of Special Forces assigned to protect the U.S. embassy in Libya to continue their use of a DC- 3 airplane for security operations throughout the country.
The subject line of the email, on which slain Ambassador Chris Stevens was copied, read: "Termination of Tripoli DC-3 Support."
Four days later, on May 7, the State Department authorized the U.S. embassy in Vienna to purchase a $108,000 electric vehicle charging station for the embassy motor pool's new Chevrolet Volts. The purchase was a part of the State Department's "Energy Efficiency Sweep of Europe" initiative, which included hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on green program expenditures at various U.S. Embassies.

This is the insanity of Obama. He refused to send reinforcements to keep American diplomats safe and instead money keeping others green.
I'm almost speechless, and for me, that's bad.
Exactly how does this happen? Well I know its what happens when liberals are put in charge, but still how can sane humans with functioning brains allow it to happen when they had to know that lives were at risk? Was their cult worship of environmentalism blinding them from their duty to keep Americans safe? Again, I know the answer to that one.
If Amy Klobuchar wants to politicize a tragedy for her campaign she should go kick in the door of the State Department and demand answers.
Must walk away from keyboard….
Obama: Dear Comrades In Arms, Now More Than Ever
Whenever I see an Obama or Klobuchar sign as I am driving, rare btw, I say "Der Comerade" in a Dolph Lundgren in Rocky IV kind of accent.
Well today Obama's Comrades in Arms are going on the offensive by putting on their rose colored glasses and regurgitating the White House spin on the jobs report. Which of course doesn't add up, but the loyal lapdogs in Congress like Senator Klobuchar and their left wing allies in the media are counting on Americans' short attention spans and hoping they don't bother to fact check the o-called Government watchdogs and truth meters in the media.
You see, everything these radical
Communists… I'm sorry…. progressives… have been fighting for for the last 50 years is on the line, can they drive the final nail in the coffin of what once was the greatest nation on the planet by killing its economy once and for all by sending Obama back for a second term to finish the job? Or as some Hollywood folks say…."In the second term, its on"
Obamacare isn't the solution to Health Care, its the trojan horse that destroys private health systems and requires the Government to step in.
As is the case in most industries, free markets are overruled by the Government picking the winners.
According to Obama in his debate this week, its wrong to allow Exxon and oil companies to get a "subsidy" or tax break while still actually producing a product Americans need, but its ok to spend ten times that on green energy non-science (as opposed to non-sense) like Solyndra and the countless other Democrat donating green energy companies who took taxpayer money but are belly up and not producing a single watt of energy.
I could go on, the point is do not let the headlines get to you, they are being crafted by the enemy of America as we know it.
Friends don't let friends listen to the MSM. Now more than ever we need to make sure Americans know the truth. We can't afford four more years of Obama and Democrats in control.
I could go on, point is folks, its crunch time. If you care about America you can't sit back and complain. You need to affect the change. You need to step forward and show Obama and Democrats that you don't agree that Government is the solution. You need to help convince others how bad things really are.
Obama and Democrats have multi billion dollar media empires who get to broadcast his version of reality 24 hours a day…
UH OH….. The 6 Am to 10PM daily grind of a full time job and every other waking moment being volunteered to stop Obama is unleashing the AAARF in me…..
Is it something that we cannot overcome? Maybe, but does that mean we just lay down and let America die a slow death at the hands of socialists and nanny state bureaucrats and aristocrats?
No, stand up America and let your voices be heard, stand up and join together with others working to change the course of history. Stand up and make sure Obama is a one term President.
Join the fight, we can overcome all odds, but we need your help.
We are outnumbered in the GOTV trenches by the unions and special interests of the left but we stand on the right side of the battle, where liberty and freedom reside. If we all work together we can stop Obama and Democrats.
We truly need your help. We have 33 days to save America.
I beg of you to volunteer your time or donate to good groups like, say… CD6 where we are the tip of the spear going toe to toe with the people trying to destroy America.
We will keep working, with or with out you because America is too important to just lie down and do nothing because we are too busy or you don't like to make calls or…..
This is it. Now or never. Come help us make calls, lit drop, door knock, donate, lawnsigns.
This is it. 33 days until the election. 33 days to see if we can save America from another mistake.
I need you, America needs you.
At 8PM on November 6th, I will know that I did everything with in my power to do something. Do you think I enjoy burning up my own fuel driving around the 6th District? No, but it needed to be done.
What are you doing?
Check out this email from the Commander in Chief's campaign to defeat America.
His minions in the press are trying to bury his blundering foreign policy disasters. The economy is in shambles. Our allies want to meet with him, and all he cares about is…..
I guess if you were the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people and the 4th estate and watchdog of Government was in your back pocket so you're cronies got richer so they could bundle for your reelection, you'd be laughing to.
By the way, what is Obama's goal for the next 4 years? More of the same, what will he do different in the future?
Do you know why there are angry white males? We watch the news filled with lies and can't believe our own ears, that Americans are cheering against America.
Makes me sick.
Obama's Marvin Window Model
I got a request for "what did I mean by the Marvin windows thing". I had put out a couple tweets during Emperor Obama's DNC speech. He praised Marvin windows for not cutting jobs during the great recession.
Well, I happened to have been up in Warroad last winter and guess what. People are less than satisfied with the details of that thing Obama praised. What Obama said does pass the fact check test, but it doesn't tell you the whole story.
How does socialist France deal with its lazy workforce and sluggish economy, they can't create more stuff for people to do, so they lower the number of hours for a full work week and lower the age of retirement. They basically just slowed down productivity and watered down the workforce in order to "keep people busy".
And to their credit, that's what Marvin windows did. Small town America is no fun when the major factory in a small town closes or sees its own market collapse. AHEM: Marvin windows makes windows for new homes, home market sucks, do the math.
Instead of layoffs and work stoppages to meet demand, Marvin reduced the number of hours people could work and cut benefits. I know the social engineers would prefer that Marvin build windows for no where, hire a crew to break them, then another to repair them but….
Again, what Obama says can pass the media's standard "close enough for government work" test, but when you dig back into the story and find out the facts, then think back to why Obama said this, as in, this is what all businesses should do. Well, what did he really mean?
Obama doesn't want to heal the economy and get America back to work, he wants to fundamentally transform our economy and change the way we live, that will have drastic reductions in our economy and demand side, but he doesn't want people to feel the true effects of socialism, so he wants to just water down the workforce. Coerce businesses to limp along and not make real world decisions that will keep people in good paying jobs, but instead keeps everyone in miserable jobs.
Every reporter wants to be the center of the story. Its an ego thing. They think they are the only ones smart enough to understand what the people in fancy tailored suits mean, and we have a lot of journalists in this state. Emperor Obama happened to slip up and use a Minnesota business as an example of what all businesses should do. Maybe some reporters should go do some remotes and interviews with people up in he northern part of Minnesota. Go talk to people, go hang out at the coffee shops in Roseau and Warroad and see if people are as thrilled to "still have their job" as Obama lead the nation to believe.
In a court of law, one could have objected that he was leading the witness…. This Marvin windows thing is a great opportunity for some real journalism. Don't take Obama's word for it, go find out what people really think about having their job but no more benefits and it actually being part time but too much to pursue work somewhere else, because if the housing market does turn around, then they'd get their real job back….
Oh, and then there's that angle of what Obama is doing in the housing market which is eerily familiar……
There's headlines there in Warroad.
If they hurry, they can beat the cold.
The Speech That Changed Nothing
The media is trying to convince you that because Bill Clinton gave a speech last night, that PResident Obama deserves another 4 years.
I checked on the way in and that critical thing to our economy, diesel fuel, is still over $4 a gallon. Food prices are still high. Unemployment is too. So are interest rates on credit cards. Oh and my health insurance company has not reversed its premiums by 40% because they are still required to comply with Obamacare.
The housing market still stinks, because Government is still dangling carrots, we've written off the entire foreclosure market and builders and building homes again. What happens to all those old homes that are trashed, soon to be by meth heads, and banks are on the hook for? What happens with them?
Everyone calm down and stay on target. The economy still stinks. The goal of Obama is not to get American back on track, its to fundamentally transform this country into a centrally planned economy run by Government.
They love to say they inherited a mess, and they did, it just so happens to be by their design. Bush wasn't a conservative free market guy and went along to get along with Democrats on many policies. From NCLB to energy,. Democrats largely had their way with Bush.
An adulterer and confirmed liar made a great presentation last night. Whooptedo. Guess what, tonight Obama is going to trot out Hollywood A-listers who look pretty or play funky music and hope that no one notices that things still stink.
Brace your self, this is just the beginning.
Telepromter don't fail him now……

Each year the Association of Professional Futurists puts together a list of its members who will be speaking at the World Future Society's annual conference. APF members have provided some of the best presentations at WFS each year, and this year looks to be no different!
APF members presenting at WFS will be listed when available.
2015 Most Significant Futures Works Awards JudgingThe MSFW Core Team accepted nominations for the 2015 Awards (completed from 2010 to 2014) until January 31, 2015. Sixteen works were nominated and judging is now underway. Winners for the 2015 Most Significant Futures Works for publications will be announced at the APF Reception and Awards Presentation in San Franciso CA, Saturday July 25th. Rules for nominations can be found here. Works are nominated in three categories: Category 1 Advance the methodology and practice of foresight and futures studies; Category 2 Analyze a significant future issue; and Category 3 Illuminate the future through literary or artistic works.
If you have questions, please contact Andy Hines, MSFW Chair.
This V-Gathering was inspired by a conversation on the APF Listserv on the Apple Car and other driverless vehicles. A half hour of ideas by professional futurists was followed by a hosted exchange with attendees.
When: June 02, 2015 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT/US (13.00 New York)
Speakers: Paul Graham Raven, John Jackson, Cindy Frewen
The well attended event explored global futures of transportation, focused on self-driving cars and why Apple and Silicon Valley is interested in automobiles. Paul brought a policy perspective, Cindy discussed design and user experience, and John talked about Apple's role and the potential of luxury vehicles. The idea of cars as a third place and other alternative forms of transportation turn out to be very freeing for people. A number of links and statistics were shared by attendees. The lively discussion surely could have extended for another hour. Thanks to all who came and offered their expert knowledge. Thanks to Jim for organizing so well despite his flooded home from Houston storms.
Send questions to V-Gatherings Chair/Host Jim Breaux.
For questions, contact Andrew Curry.
The second APF event on the 24th April (13:30 for a 14:00 start) was a collaboration between the Club of Amsterdam and the Association of Professional Futurists. This session focused on the human aspect of the future of cities. The soft architecture of cities. People in cities seem to have more in common with each other than with people living in their own country outside of the city. Are we watching a deep global change in values and understanding, led by the boom in city living?
For questions, contact Nick Price.

The internet, in general, is full of some very strange people who post very bizarre things under the cloak of anonymity.
I would caution you that many of the "professional" message boards for lawyers, doctors, and to a lesser extent, financial professionals are equally full of nonsense. Many are appalling. I was looking for some factual information on one of these sites (that my colleagues were unaware of) the other day at work.
I received several pages of racist ramblings employing ethnic slurs from several different posters in the reply, along with links to several pictures that were not suitable for workplace viewing which resulted in my throwing my sportscoat over the screen. I hadn't asked a question that even vaguely involved race, either - nor had I, obviously, asked for fecal matter pornography to be delivered to my workplace desktop.
I think many of these message boards have become hijacked by mentally ill or deranged persons who get "kicks" out of annoying others or, as I have heard from my nephews, "trolling people".
And yes, I think JNJ is "less sexy" than a lot of newer companies and often its blended nature means people don't understand their product line, but it is a consistent company.

Bacillus thuringiensis (or Bt) is a Gram-positive, soil-dwelling bacterium, commonly used as a biological pesticide; alternatively, the Cry toxin may be extracted and used as a pesticide. B. thuringiensis also occurs naturally in the gut of caterpillars of various types of moths and butterflies, as well as on the dark surfaces of plants.
During sporulation, many Bt strains produce crystal proteins (proteinaceous inclusions), called δ-endotoxins, that have insecticidal action. This has led to their use as insecticides, and more recently to genetically modified crops using Bt genes. There are, however, many crystal-producing Bt strains that do not have insecticidal properties.
B. thuringiensis was first discovered in 1901 by Japanese biologist Shigetane Ishiwatari. In 1911, B. thuringiensis was rediscovered in Germany by Ernst Berliner, who isolated it as the cause of a disease called Schlaffsucht in flour moth caterpillars. In 1976, Robert A. Zakharyan reported the presence of a plasmid in a strain of B. thuringiensis and suggested the plasmid's involvement in endospore and crystal formation.B. thuringiensis is closely related to B.cereus, a soil bacterium, and B.anthracis, the cause of anthrax: the three organisms differ mainly in their plasmids. Like other members of the genus, all three are aerobes capable of producing endospores. Upon sporulation, B. thuringiensis forms crystals of proteinaceous insecticidal δ-endotoxins (called crystal proteins or Cry proteins), which are encoded by cry genes. In most strains of B. thuringiensis, the cry genes are located on the plasmid.

Musicians all over the world are mourning the death of Yes bassist Chris Squire. Keyboardist Rick Wakeman said after his passing this week, the world has now lost the two greatest bass players classic rock has ever known. Wakeman said there can't be a bass player worth his salt that has not been influenced by Squire, or the Who's John Entwistle. Rush's Geddy Lee said Squire was an innovator on the instrument and a huge inspiration. Tony Levin said Squire rewrote the rules of playing bass lines.
Mick Jagger's ex, Luciana Morad, tells Glamour magazine that he did not impregnate her in a dog house. �I did not get pregnant with Mick [Jagger] in a doghouse. Can you imagine Mick Jagger inside a kennel, me on top of him and the people at the party all watching? I am a super-refined gal and would never do this.�
Dead fan gossip circles are ablaze with conspiracy theories over a rainbow that beamed over the stadium during Saturday's performance. It was the first of a series of reunion shows called "Fare Thee Well" that concludes the Grateful Dead's 50-year career. An "insider" told "Billboard" the band paid 50-thousand dollars to beam a fake rainbow across the sky at the end of their 17-minute finale.
Fans of AC/DC will finally be able to hear their music on streaming services. The legendary band has held out on letting its music be played on subscription services, but the "New York Times" says AC/DC will be available on Spotify, Rdio and Apple Music starting today.

Why stay at home reading the likes of Byron, Dickinson, Whitman, Plath, Levertov or Lowell? Put those dreary texts aside. Take a stride outside the normative literary scene found in dusty old books or a tattered magazine. Take wing, visit the local performance poetry scene!
It's a social possibility you won't soon regret. This weekend's slam competition is a sure-to-win bet.
Presented by ABQ Slams, The 2015 Southwest Shootout Regional Poetry Slam Championship beats the heck out of perusing grammatical diagrams.
But seriously folks, it's a chance to listen and respond to folks whose poetic proclivities also include performance, competition, and worthy word-smithery.
Preliminary bouts will be held at Winnings Coffee (111 Harvard SE) and the Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice (202 Harvard SE) on Friday night, June 26, beginning at 7:00 pm. These events are free; the public is invited to attend.
The Championship slam happens Saturday night at the South Broadway Cultural Center (1025 Broadway SE) and costs a mere ten bucks for admittance. Doors to this fantastical foray into syllabic profundity open at 7 that night.
Spoken word artists, performance poets and slammers from all over the Southwest region will be in attendance and ready to fight it out for the chance to advance to the national competition to be held in August.
You ought to check it out, yo.
This time round the sun, June's solstice falls upon the same day as the American holiday called Father's Day, on the 21st day of the month.
The same coincidentally calendrical conjunction came to pass 23 years ago; the day called twenty June nineteen hundred and ninety two was the last day of spring in Albuquerque. Practically everyone dwelling amidst the middle latitudes of the North American continent celebrated fatherhood the day after. I'm sure they did that here too or so I was told.
I was in Cuenca, Ecuador where the earth was preparing for winter, though you sure as hell couldn't tell at the latitude of 2 degrees south. It was hot and humid all over that damn country and I had to carry around a cotton kerchief to keep the sweat off my eyes. I kept the towel in a pocket with my father's Swiss Army knife. It was the fancy kind with a fork y todo. He told me at the Sunport it would come in handy in the jungle and I couldn't wait to use the goddamn thing on a tasty lizard or a stubborn piece of bamboo.
I planned to stay a couple of rotations and then drive down from the highlands to the northeast, where the Amazon Jungle crept up into the land. There was a town called Macas out there; I had already chartered a plane to ride me out along the Rio Pastaza to an indigenous settlement in the rainforest. I'd be working for some anthropologists as a sound recordist.
I wandered around Cuenca. There was a fine pizzeria. For a 10 more Sucre, patrons could have their pies topped with small purple potatoes or guinea pig meat. Being a bit nervous about consuming either, I opted for the four-cheese pie.
The long distance service was spotty back then. The cook told me I could send a telegram from the police station. I walked over there, regailed the machine-gun carrying officials with my shitty Spanish and sent a telegram to my old man. I told him I was having a grand time and wished him a happy Father's Day.
The city also had a magnificent plaza built around a mountainous cathedral. The church had gold accouterments, baroque domes. The Andes rose up behind the basilica like a greater order of magical edifices imposed upon the viewer for the sake of comparison.
Come Saturday night there was big party in the center of town. Many citizens walked down to the plaza holding hands, singing songs about the sun and the land. One of them stopped me, asked me where I was from, guessed that I was Israeli or Persian. I tried to tell him I was an American from Albuquerque, but he ran off, laughing and pointing at the sky.
My hotel, the Inca, was nearby to the church – which by now was surrounded by people filling and releasing paper lantern/balloons into the air. The paper bags, each lit by a candle, drifted around the cathedral like angels might and then floated away, towards the mountains.
I picked up an old copy of Time Magazine in the lobby and took the stairs to my room. As I settled in to read a fine article about 1977's Man of the Year someone pounded on the door. I opened it. The man on the other side had a gun. He flashed an identification card, told me to come with him and waved the gun around like it was just another celebratory instrument of the solstice.
Downstairs, there was a car waiting. I turned around to protest and realized the gun had been gently pressed to the back of my head for what I reckoned were at least two very long minutes. I was urged to take a seat in the back of the car.
By now, night had fallen. It was dark as hell. We drove around and around the outskirts of Cuenca while the driver and the gunman argued. Occasionally the latter, wearing a dirty Adidas baseball cap, turned around to face me, brandished the gun, winked and smiled a toothy smile. Finally we were on the road out of town. I began to think of my father as two paper balloons passed by the windows of that automobile.
Remembering I had his knife in my front pocket it occurred to me that I could stab Mr. Adidas in the neck and thereby save myself. But as the vehicle slowed down to cross a bridge, I came up with another idea. I quickly unlocked the backseat door, opened it, yelled "Fuck It Dude, Life's a Risk!" at the top of my lungs and rolled out onto the highway.
Mr. Adidas and his friend screeched the car to a halt. I hid under the bridge and covered myself in mud. After a few minutes splashing around the creek rather angrily, the two stormed off, still cussing and yelling. I remained absolutely still when I saw the muzzle flash from the receding coche.
Soaking wet and tired as crap, I walked along the highway until I came upon a farmhouse. There was a phone there. The farmer offered me a drink and a cigarette while we waited for the police.
It was dawn on the first day of summer when we arrived at the police station. One of the policemen took me aside and said, "You're that hombre from Albuquerque, no? I replied I was and wondered how he knew that, since my passport didn't mention it. He told me my father had replied to my telegram, that I could pick up his telegraphic response on my way out.
The telegram from my father was succinct. It was too hot in Burque. He was going to have Father's Day Brunch with my sister at the Rancher's Club. He hoped the knife he had given me came to good use, out there in South America.

Sherbourne, C.D., K.B. Wells, N.H. Duan, J. Miranda, J. Unutzer, L. Jaycox, Michael Schoenbaum, and L.S. Meredith. 2001. "Long-Term Effectiveness of Disseminating Quality Improvement for Depression in Primary Care." Archives of General Psychiatry, 58(7): 696-703.
Background: This article addresses whether dissemination of short-term quality improvement (QI) interventions for depression to primary care practices improves patients' clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) over 2 years, relative to usual care (UC). Methods: The sample included 1299 patients with current depressive symptoms and 12-month, lifetime, or no depressive disorder from 46 primary care practices in 6 managed care organizations. Clinics were randomized to UC or 1 of 2 QI programs that included training local experts and nurse specialists to provide clinician and patient education, assessment, and treatment planning, plus either nurse care managers for medication follow-up (QI-meds) or access to trained psychotherapists (QI-therapy). Outcomes were assessed every 6 months for 2 years. Results: For most outcomes, differences between intervention and UC patients were not sustained for the full 2 years. However, QI-therapy reduced overall poor outcomes compared with UC by about 8 percentage points throughout 2 years, and by 10 percentage points compared with QI-meds at 24 months. Both interventions improved patients' clinical and role outcomes, relative to UC, over 12 months (eg, a 10-11 and 6-7 percentage point difference in probable depression at 6 and 12 months, respectively). Conclusions; While most outcome improvements were not sustained over the full 2 study years, findings suggest that flexible dissemination of short-term, QI programs in managed primary care can improve patient outcomes well after program termination. Models that support integrated psychotherapy and medication based treatment strategies in primary care have the potential for relatively long-term patient benefits.

This is the first bb cream ive bought. The price was okay, a lot less than a lot of other brands i see. i didnt like the consistency though. Its too runny and the smell is horrible.

I can't believe I wasted $10 on this. No coverage at all, turns my face purple for some reason, gets oily, and breaks me out. This is only for people with flawless skin, not for anyone with oily/acne prone skin.

A little amount goes a long way. I've been using this for a year and it's very good. It offers a light to medium coverage. This is good as it is a "one stop" for moisturising, protecting and covering your face. It creates a natural glow, it compliments your natural skin tone. It feels fresh and supplies hydration all day. It blurs imperfections. It makes your face look visibly smooth, and it's non greasy with SPF30. It has a powder finish without making your face look too matte. However, if you are looking for a very heavy coverage then I don't recommend this. Other than that, this is a really good product and I would buy it again.

The perfect BB cream for everyday, since it gives an adequate amount of coverage (I wouldn't buy this if you're looking for a lot of coverage). If you pair this with a pressed powder, you get most of your face covered. I short, it's a great BB cream for a natural, everyday look.

I've only started using any sort of make up products on my face recently and I think this is a good start for first timers. Personally, I don't need too much coverage so I'll use this bb cream with a little concealer and I'm good to go. The consistency is runny but easy to apply (I just use my fingers), and it's a little sticky when first applying to your face. I think it's great light coverage for summer with the added sun protection.

Anyone not do a hospital tour?
I haven't. I wanted to do one, but my husband got all exasperated with me, reminding me that he used to work at the hospital and he knows where L&D is. If that's the case, how come he's still questioning where he's supposed to pull in? Hmmm...men. ;)
Vincent Calvin EDD February 25, 2013
Born March 9, 2013
We arent going.... I thought we needed to but after talking to my husband, he said it didnt matter to him. As long as we knew where to go when we got there, that is what was important. At our hospital they only do the tours on wed night at 6pm(I work 30-45 minutes away from there and I dont get off work till 6- and they do them the 1st and 3rd Saturday..... today is the first and he couldnt make it, and on the 3rd Saturday(if I make it that long) it will only be days before I have her anyway. All they are going to show us is the labor rooms and the nursery. I figure I will be there for a day or 2 when I have her, I will see everything I need to see then!

The other day a friend of mine asked how I keep track of goals. He said he's been typing them into his phone, but then never has occasion to look at them again, so it's hard to get anything done about them. I've spent a seemingly impossible amount of time learning how to set goals effectively, so it was really gratifying to have someone I care about and respect asking how I do it. To be real, most of the time that I've spent on goal setting has been invested in learning how to let go of my fear of failure, so that I was actually capable of setting legit goals. But, that's probably a whole other blog post in and of itself, so for now I'll just talk about the system that I use for setting and hopefully achieving my goals.
A few years ago I realized that all of my disparate goals were pulling me in a bunch of different directions and that I wasn't being nearly as effective as I wanted to be (read more about that here). So I spent a bunch of time thinking about what I really wanted vs. what would just be nice, and worked hard at stating it in a way that was Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound (the SMART criteria help in setting goals that are legit, and not wishy-washy). This One Goal is now tacked to my bedroom door (and has been for about 3 years) so I can see it every day and be reminded of what I'm working at.
Here it is:
This One Goal informs pretty much all of the goal setting that I do. If it's not feeding into the One Goal, how important is it really?
The time-frame/deadline on the One Goal is the end of 2017, so in the meantime I make yearly goals every January. I write these out by hand and have them tacked underneath the One Goal. I also put them in a spreadsheet divided into 12 months so that I back time each sub-goal according to it's deadline. For instance, if I want to run a Kickstarter campaign in May, then I'd better be researching the prices of materials in March, and making an appeal video in April. I learned this system from a friend of mine named Thomas Avendano, he manages a bunch of successful artists in the West Coast scene, and I really can't thank him enough for showing it to me. It has totally taken my game to the next level.
Here's what it looks like. You'll see big goals in green, with smaller tasks leading up to them:
I use this template as a guide for writing out my monthly goals. Right now I have the monthly goals tacked up in my room as well, but I need to move them to the kitchen where I do most of my admin work, so I can reference them more easily. Nothing more annoying than having an hour free and not knowing what to do with it. Well, OK. Maybe that single mosquito trapped in your room at 3:00am when it's too hot to sleep anyway is more annoying… But you get my drift.
Here's my list of goals for May. It's a doozy. Notice how many items are not crossed off, and today is the 25th. I try to only write things down as goals if they're really really important (Stephen Covey, author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People talks about focussing exclusively on WIGs, or "Wildly Important Goals"). That way I'm not frustrated with myself when I have a ridiculous list like this and it doesn't all get done. Next month I will attempt to be more reasonable about what I can actually accomplish, and what is actually key to moving forward. Although, to my credit, all of the Wildly Important stuff is pretty much done for May.
Finally, I also have a couple of other reminders tacked about my various spaces. The one I like the best is this:
All of this focus on goals is very future-oriented, and gets super heavy and draining when I take it too seriously. In the end, whether I hit the exact goal that I was aiming for isn't as important as the fact that I was aiming (and not blundering about, or sitting on my couch eating Kraft Dinner in my pyjamas). Ultimately, it's not so much about what I do, as how I do it. The. Most. Important. Thing. Is. To. Have. FUN. I forget that more easily and more often than I like, but it always feels good to come back to the light-hearted, playful approach to Life. When I come at things with a sense of the ridiculous they tend to go really well. When I approach them as an arduous obligation they tend not to.
So there it is. What do you think of the system? What ways have you found of helping yourself achieve what you want to?

Love it will try a moisturizer next - the products are a little expensive compared to the USA where they are very cheap
The only thing was that it took me 2 tries taking about 1/2 to get to you on the phone - your number rang and then clicked off several times
Great volume boost and really thickens hair effect even when styling
Good shampoo
Excellent service delivered within 3 days and no problems!
poor delivery packaging.it was partly opened on delivery by the delivery method
This is what I looked for.
Fab service!
Highly recommend. Fast delivery. Well packed. Great choice at excellent prices. My favourite online company.
Very little product to achieve a good result
Excellent email mail updates.Fast delivery.Well packed.
Good range
Disappointed that when offered a discount as a previous good customer the products I wanted were out of stock then by the time they were in stock my discount code no longer worked
