Read reviews on the go.
'Higher degree of sophistication thanks to the new leather back. '
'The LG G4 is the follow-up to 2014's TrustedReviews Phone of the Year, the LG G3 and as such has a great deal to live up to.'
'From the pared-down user interface to the tight integration with Google to the strong camera performance, the G4 is a great phone... not to mention a very logical step forward from last year's G3. '
'The LG G4 isn't just a decent update to an already very good phone, it is now vastly improved with vastly superior imaging capabilities, improved battery performance and a beautifully refined display, which illustrates profoundly just why QHD, power hog that it is, is very much here to stay in flagship Android handsets. '
'Naturally, there's the overall increase in its footprint, which is what's most profound with its design.'
'Easiest smartphone OS.'
'left and right hand modes'
'As always with Apple's phones the iPhone 6 has superb balance, it feels right in the hand regardless of orientation.'
'First, the IPS LCD display conjures up a maximum brightness output of 574 nits, enabling its screen to shine brightly under direct sunlight. '
'Excellent camera, especially in low light.'
'Apple is looking to reach a previously untapped audience of smartphone users - those who demand a large screen, with 'productivity' the main buzzword being thrown around.'
'Fantastic 5.5-inch screen'
'Frankly, it's impossible to recommend the Leap over cheaper handsets with superior specifications and more consumer-friendly platforms.'
'Even phones at half this price or less offer a competitive experience. '
'But the Leap isn't made to play the latest and greatest games. '
'Processor is decidedly underpowered.'
'decent construction and slightly arched casing'
'eye-catchingly low price tag'
'At 12.3mm thick the Moto E is a chunky little mobile, but the smooth curves of the soft touch back are a delight. '
'The look is simple and uncomplicated and we like that.'
'easy and comfortable viewing'
'I really enjoy holding it for long periods of time and have reverted back to reading books on my phone, something I haven't done since using my diddy-screened iPhone 4 two years ago.'
'The iPhone 5S fully supports 2G and 3G (DC-HSPA and HSPA+) bands just as before but this time Apple has added in a host of additional 4G bands. '
'The new look and feel brings with it a crisper and thinner font, a greater use of colour, and a layering system that gives everything added depth. '
'All told, the ZenFone 5 package is rather excellent. '
'Specs-wise, the Asus Zenfone 5 is a pretty interesting phone. '
'Video with the rear-camera was very disappointing, though.'
'Battery is weak.'
'Giant screen great for video and gaming. '
'Bad. Loudspeaker is not good.'
'Giant screen great for video and gaming. '
'A good 6in phablet that surprised us with its £250 price tag'
'high peak brightness'
'It's a decent, slim and lightweight phone. '
'Amazing build quality and design.'
'the One mini doesn't feel sluggish, which is the important point.'
'Updated with Motorola's newest Mobile Computing System, which is comprised out of a natural language processor, contextual computing chip, and a quad-core 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC coupled with 2GB of RAM, we're seriously impressed by the Moto X's super snappy responsiveness. '
'However, sharpness is slightly disappointing at the resolution, with less fine detail in evidence than the best 8-megapixel phones. '
'With normal use, we could picture most people getting an entire day's life without any battery-saving adjustments. '

Pilates is sweeping many parts of the world including the Middle East. This unique form of exercise, created by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900's, was originally called "Contrology." The name Contrology did not stick, but the Pilates method has gained great popularity over the last few decades thanks to its numerous benefits, and its ability to transform bodies to perfection. Pilates can benefit people of any age or fitness level. Pilates studios are opening everywhere and many gyms and health clubs are adding Pilates to their programs.
So, what exactly is Pilates and how do you find the best program and most qualified instructor?Pilates is a complete exercise system of stretching and strengthening. Joseph Pilates stated that his method "develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit." Pilates also increases strength, flexibility, balance, coordination and body awareness. The exercises were developed from a combination of yoga, gymnastics, and martial arts. This amazing system tones your muscles without creating bulk. Pilates is taught in group classes or private training sessions, with or without equipment.Since there are now many different styles of Pilates, choosing the style and instructor that is best for you is very important. Doing Pilates incorrectly can be unsafe. Look for an instructor who is professionaly trained through a recognised programme. STOTT PILATES is a great example of an internationally recognised instructor training programme. STOTT PILATES instructors have trained anywhere from three months to a number of years and must pass a comprehensive written and practical exam. Stay clear of instructors who are not trained through a reputable programme or who have trained in a very short amount of time. There are actual training programs that exist that are less than 3 hours long! Learning to teach Pilates safely and effectively is quite involved and takes years to perfect. Pilates styles vary from quite slow in pace to very choreographed, strong and athletic based. The STOTT PILATES approach is athletic based and offers modifications and variations that will allow for many different fitness levels and physical abilities. Once you decide on the style of Pilates that best suits your goals, take a class or a private session from an instructor trained in that style. Whichever style of Pilates you choose, you should enjoy the work and feel comfortable and confident with your instructor. The best Pilates workouts will be challenging, not draining. A great REAL PILATES session leaves you feeling refreshed and invigorated!
Try a REAL PILATES session today and enjoy the many benefits! You will discover a whole NEW YOU!
What is the STOTT PILATES® Method?
STOTT PILATES® is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. Co-founders Moira and Lindsay G. Merrithew, along with a team of physical therapists, sports medicine and fitness professionals, have spent more than a decade refining the STOTT PILATES® method of exercise and equipment. This resulted in the inclusion of modern principles of exercise science and spinal rehabilitation, making it one of the safest and effective methods available. This clear and detailed approach forms the basis for STOTT PILATES® training and certification programs. It's used by rehab and prenatal clients, athletes, celebrities and everyone in between.
Why are you touted as the "Professional's Choice"?Since its inception over 20 years ago, STOTT PILATES® has grown from a small studio into the world's most respected Pilates brand. While much has changed since we first opened our doors in 1988, our mission of promoting the ongoing benefits of mind-body fitness worldwide remains a constant. Our full-service company provides all the training, equipment and ongoing support you need to build a strong and successful Pilates business. Whether your goal is to establish Pilates group exercise programs, take your personal training to the next level, set up a fully equipped studio, or train to become a certified instructor – we go the distance to help you succeed. STOTT PILATES®' mission is to fulfill the needs of Pilates enthusiasts everywhere and that's why we're the number one source for everything Pilates – spanning equipment, education and media.What is the difference between the STOTT PILATES® Method and other Pilates techniques?STOTT PILATES® incorporates modern exercise principles, including contemporary thinking about spinal rehabilitation and athletic performance enhancement. For example, some approaches may promote a flat back, whereas STOTT PILATES® exercises are designed to restore the natural curves of the spine and rebalance the muscles around the joints, placing more emphasis on scapular stabilization. As well, there are more preparatory exercises and modifications to cater to many different body types and abilities, making it applicable to everyday life.What are the benefits of STOTT PILATES®?- longer, leaner muscles (less bulk, more freedom of movement)- improves postural problems- increases core strength, stability and peripheral mobility- enhances functional fitness, ease of movement- balances strength & flexibility- heightens body awareness- no-impact, easy on the joints- can be customized to suit everyone from rehab patients to elite athletes- complements other methods of exercise- improves performance in sports (golf, skiing, skating etc.)- improves balance, coordination & circulation What are the principles behind the STOTT PILATES Method?STOTT PILATES exercise improves core strength and balances the muscles around the joints, improving the way your body functions, looks and feels. The Five Basic Principles focus on:- Breathing- Pelvic placement- Rib cage placement- Scapular movement- Head & cervical spine placement
To learn more about the Five Basic Principles and start your warm-up, please click here.
Is STOTT PILATES® exercise like Yoga?In some respects Pilates is like Yoga. Both are considered mind-body type methods of movement; both emphasize deep breathing and smooth, long movements that encourage the mind-body connection. The difference is that while Yoga requires moving from one static posture to the next, Pilates flows through a series of movements that are more dynamic, systematic and anatomically-based incorporating resistance equipment. The goal with STOTT PILATES® exercise is to strengthen the postural muscles while achieving optimal functional fitness.

Movies & Yoga. ~ Ashley Carpenter
Movies and yoga are my all time greatest loves.
These are two things that you can never get enough of, two things that can take you outside your current state (whatever that may be) to somewhere far beyond the here and now, two things that have carried me from a young girl into adulthood and undoubtedly will carry me into the future.
For me – movies were my God growing up. I didn't go to church on Sundays but I did go to the movie theater. Movies, just as they were known for in the depression, took me to a place of possibility, a place of wonder, and into a world I wanted to live in. Whether it was a romantic comedy, drama, or a magnificent classic, my heart sang with love for all that flickered on the screen. And so, I ventured into this world to study more closely in college, and then into the real world, also became my job.
It wasn't until recently that I made a connection between my two greatest loves. For how could something so physical and spiritual connect with moving pictures? And how could I, who loved secluding myself in a movie theater, equally be fascinated with asana and chanting?
It seems that these connections are most fitting as we approached the Oscars last week and celebrate the films that took us beyond the silver screen and into a bigger world, a world where black and white silent films live on, as in The Artist – and where we can time travel as the clock strikes twelve, as in Midnight in Paris. These movies not only entertain us but also connect us with a bigger picture. They connect universal thoughts and ideas and give us a moment to step out of the day-to-day lifestyle, where we often forget the images or sounds that connect us all.
All these thoughts arose as I was walking out of one of the most memorable films for me this year, and that was Midnight in Paris. As a longtime Woody Allen fan and an all time romantic, that was about to take my first trip to Paris, this movie sang to my heart. It felt as though I had just been to the greatest yoga class in the world, or to a weekend chakra retreat, and all the stars were aligned, and my whole body was in balance.
It was kind of ironic in that I had reluctantly chosen the movie over taking one of my favorite Friday night yoga classes. And yet somehow, it had the same affect. That's not to say that movies can have the opposite affect, as there are so many out there.
But Midnight in Paris brought me home, which is often the feeling I leave with after a class. I was reminded how much beauty is in the world and how fantastic the world could be. It gave me the gumption to take a trip that was long overdue and also made me realize that these loves I have are so connected and so essential to who I am.
I love yoga and movies for the places they take me, from the perfect Om to the most beautiful score. All the love that is shared in the last Om of class is created through the last moment of a film just before the credits role, and the sometimes synchronizing breath that leads you through class and connects you to the yogi beside you, is just like the laughter you share with stranger sitting near you.
There are so many things that make them unique to themselves but for these connections I love them both even more.
So the next time you step into the theater give it the same love and respect that you do your yoga class and take a moment to enjoy the feeling you have after seeing a great film.

Thank you Ashley for reminding me that I used to love the cinematic experience of actually going to the movies (instead of watching them on my computer) and it's been at least six months since the last time I set foot in a theater and at least two, since I've seen a full length movie. It seems like I only have time for trailers lately.
PS. Midnight in Paris, best of Woody, in my opinion.

We asked some Beloiters to tell us the advice they would give their younger, past selves—about college, their time at Beloit, and life in general. Here are some of their responses:
Coura Diop'14
"I would tell my freshman self to take advantage of the privilege of being in college and to take initiative and control of my own education. But most importantly to challenge myself to work harder."
David Bender'14
"Seek help from your professors, as they're willing to give you guidance not just academically but in life beyond the classroom"

Josh Tenenbaum'14
"There are countless opportunities to involve yourself in, don't overlook something because it doesn't appeal to you at first."
Ousia Whitaker-DeVault'15
"Be honest with yourself and others, and don't be too worried with what others think about you—there's not enough time for that."
Rasheda Hughes'14
"I would tell my past self to never let someone degrade you or lower your self-esteem and to trust your insticts."
Jacy Pieper'14
"I would tell my past self to plan more...for everything."

Andy Kroll reports on The Donald's growing extremism and his flip-flop on gay rights. DiA notes his flip on abortion. And Frum finds a silver lining to Trump's birtherism:
It used to be that the person offering the Obama-is-African-not-American message to the Republican primary electorate was a former speaker of the House, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and a Fox News contributor: in other words, an eminent and respectable personage. Now Trump has stolen the Gingrich spotlight, knocked Gingrich out of the top 3. With the result that the bearer of the Obama-not-American message is a clownish TV personality in an absurd hairdo. That's progress. Birtherism is being quarantined within the GOP. Better if it were repudiated and extinguished, but although this week was positive, it was not miraculous.
Weigel dutifully rebuts Trump's latest factual inaccuracies.

US feds say man deserved arrest for wearing 'Occupy Everything' jacket
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On March 4, 2013 @ 4:25 pm In constitution,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
March 4, 2013
Florida man deserved to be arrested inside the Supreme Court building last year for wearing a jacket painted with "Occupy Everything," and is lucky he was only apprehended on unlawful entry charges, the US Department of Justice says.
The President Barack Obama administration made that assertion in a legal filing in response to a lawsuit brought by Fitzgerald Scott, who is seeking $1 million (£664,805) in damages for his January 2012 arrest inside the Supreme Court building. He also wants his arrest record expunged.
What's more, the authorities said the former Marine's claim that he was protected by the First Amendment bolsters the government's position (.pdf) because the Supreme Court building's public interior is a First Amendment-free zone.
Fitzgerald was not disturbing anybody, but was repeatedly told by court staff to leave the building or remove the coat. Outside the building, about a dozen "Occupy" protesters were arrested.
Inside, Fitzgerald was handcuffed and arrested for unlawful entry as he was viewing an exhibit on slavery.

The drive from downtown Oklahoma City to Norman usually takes around 30 minutes.
But on Tuesday, navigating through traffic and an altered route, it took the West Virginia baseball team more than 90 minutes to get there.
The drive from downtown Oklahoma City to Norman usually takes around 30 minutes.
But on Tuesday, navigating through traffic and an altered route, it took the West Virginia baseball team more than 90 minutes to get there.
No matter. Coach Randy Mazey and his players were determined to make an impact, fueled by a passion for helping the displaced victims of Monday's Moore tornado.
So the Mountaineer coaches, players and support staff, all 37 of them, packed into a crowded team bus outside their downtown hotel and prepared to make the winding trek toward the University of Oklahoma dorms, where many victims were being temporarily housed.
With them, the Mountaineers brought supplies. Lots of them.
A night before, after hearing of the horrors and seeing the devastation on television, a few WVU players texted Mazey, telling the coach they wanted to help.
He agreed, having seen firsthand the devastation of the 2011 Joplin, Mo. tornado, while at a baseball tournament in the Southwest Missouri town.
"I had never experienced anything like it," Mazey said of the immediate aftermath in Joplin.
Like many, they were turned away from the disaster zone, a place reserved for first responders.
So the team, in town for the Big 12 Tournament, went to a local Walmart and gathered helpful supplies.
In all, Mazey estimated they spent more than $4,000, expected to come out of the WVU baseball fund, to purchase flashlights, batteries, clothes, diapers, towels, air mattresses and other disaster necessities.
And in another act of generosity, they bought an entire shopping cart full of supplies and food for a displaced woman they met at Walmart.
"She had mud on her and she was crying, so that just hit me right there," WVU outfielder Brady Wilson said. "She told us she was at work, her husband was at work and her kids were at school and they were separated until 10:30 last night, so that's scary."
Packed with players and supplies, the bus finally left OKC at around 2:15 on Tuesday afternoon.
On its long route to Norman, the bus passed through Newcastle, an impacted town. And near the interstate, a large steel bridge had been completely dislodged from its substructure, giving the team its first glimpse at the devastation.

(AP) FLAGLER BEACH, Fla. - The body of a naked man washed up on a central Florida beach.
Flagler Beach Police Chief Dan Cody said Tuesday the man had been shot to death. The body was discovered by beachgoers on June 8.
The Orlando Sentinel reports police don't know who the victim was or where he came from. Police believe he was in the water for three to five days.
Cody says the body could have been dumped from a boat out at sea.
The man weighed about 150 pounds, was 6-foot-2 and was between 50 and 60 years old. He had salt and pepper hair and brown eyes. Cody says there were no tattoos or other identifying marks.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Flagler Beach Police Department at 386-517-2023.

Hey everyone, I finally did something thats blog worthy! It's so hard to get anything done with a full time job and a very very addicting boyfriend. I was finally able to get a craft done, since it was with my boyfriend, Mathew.
Mathew's aunt threw a little party earlier this month where we made "gingerbread" houses. None of us actually used gingerbread, we used wafer cookies. Mathew and I decided to make a log cabin and stuck large pretzel sticks to the outside of our wafer cookie construction to look like logs. The roof was out of graham crackers, and the shingles were made with 6 packs of Doublemint gum, the sticks of gum being cut into thirds (except along the top, those are cut in half). Mathew had the genius idea of using battery operated micro LED lights. We first saw these lights at Walmart while looking for christmas lights for our apartments. We thought they were strange looking little lights and didn't know what a person would use them for, however when we were brain storming for ideas for our "gingerbread" house Mathew instantly thought of them, and we LOVE them!!
The lights were a little too spread out, so we twisted the wire in-between each light. It actually worked out better that way since the twisted wire gave us something to attach to the house. We put the twisted wire in-between the roof and the shingles. Without the twisted wire, I don't know how we would have attached the lights!
We also put in a flickering LED light inside the house by cutting a hole in the bottom to insert the light. It looks like there's a little fireplace lit in there! All that's missing is a chimney…
We also put a little fire pit out front, and stuck little "coals" on the base of the LED light. The "coals" are actually gum, made to look like coals.
And we used candy chocolate rocks to make a little path, and to make the fire pit.
We made a little marshmallow snowman. He has an orange sprinkle as a nose, and I drew on his eyes, buttons, and scarf with a edible ink pens.
We covered the whole thing in cotton candy snow.
And here's a picture of me sitting proudly by my creation. We couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out! Can you believe this is my first gingerbread house?
I had a deprived childhood.
When we went back to Walmart to find the micro lights, we had to stop by a couple of Walmarts. It seems not all Walmarts carry them.
I tried to find them on Walmart's website so all of you could buy them if you wanted to, but I was unable to find them. I did find the white version on Amazon, though! These are the exact same brand that we used and have the same number of lights, they're just white. It looks like they have other colors too! (except multi color). I love that they have 3 different settings (Flashing, Phasing, and Steady On). Also, if you leave them on they will turn off in 6 hours and then turn back on automatically in 18 hours, the same time you turned them on the day before. Cool, right!?

The Self-assignment "Gig"
I was talking a few days back about self-assignments and how those could fit in a Professional Photographer schedule. Monday I had a bit of free time on an awesome day here in the beautiful San Diego. I thought it's the best opportunity to fill the void with a self-assignment. So, here it comes… Since my young son's first birthday is approaching quickly and we decided to host the party at a neighborhood park, which park fits the best for the task? And what's the best way to assess this particular situation other than visiting the place and taking a few shots?
The Photo Self-Assignment
Firstly, what's a self-assignment? I think it's self-explanatory… a self-assignment is an assignment or a job which has no paying customer, but it's the decision of the photographer to perform it.
In this case, my self-assignment sounded like this: go and shoot 5 neighborhood parks close to your home. Resulting photos have to reflect the resources and amenities present over there. I started by scouting on Google maps and ended up with a list of the parks I like to visit.
The Shooting…
All went well, I was not apprehended by anyone with an "it's not allowed to shoot pictures here" kind of things. I was smiling at people, people where waiving back. Etc. Just in case, I had a few business cards with me, if someone asks me what I do here and why I shot, usually a business card with a "I'm a photographer" calms everybody down. I have business cards with me all the time, you never know who do you bump into. Gear? Camera with a 24-105 lens on it and my phone running Geotag Photos Lite in my pocket. I really like to geotag this kind of shot to reference and catalog the files better.
The Result
I ended up with about 120 pictures from 5 parks. Spent about 3h and a half to complete this assignment and I was pretty tired when I got home. Maybe it was the sun I had a blast doing this and I should come up with such self assignments more often.

How Attachment and Temperament Shape Development
By Christopher A. Thurber, Ph.D.
Oliver cried lustily. If he could have known that he was an orphan, left
to the tender mercies of churchwardens and overseers, perhaps he would have
cried the louder.
— from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
Big Questions
Little Oliver's crying is an example of the instinctive ability children
have to draw caregivers near. If a caregiver does approach, then a gradual
bonding process — called attachment — begins. How reliably and
lovingly caregivers behave determines how securely attached children become.
Childhood attachments may even affect our relationship style as adults.
Children, of course, also have a hand in their own development. Not only
is their behavior shaped by their caregivers' treatment, but they also shape
their caregivers' behavior. Consider how differently you treat children
based on their activity level, attention span, mood, intensity, and reaction
to novel stimuli. These and other aspects of children's dispositions —
collectively called temperament — are thought by some researchers
to remain constant across the lifespan.
Both attachment style and temperament affect children's behavior and, of
course, the way others treat them. Few subjects could be of greater interest
to camp professionals.
It's Not About the Food
In 1939, Sigmund Freud wrote, "Love has its origin in attachment to
the satisfied need for nourishment." In other words, bonding between
a child and her primary caregiver is based on that adult's ability to satisfy
the child's biological drive of hunger. Like many of Freud's ideas, this
"drive reduction" theory of attachment (also dubbed the "cupboard
theory") was controversial and based solely on clinical intuition,
not research. About twenty years later came the revolutionary research that
proved attachment was not about nourishment. Instead, it was about touch.
Orphaned Monkeys Lead Revolution
In the 1950s and 60s, University of Wisconsin psychologists Harry and Margaret
Harlow conducted a series of groundbreaking studies with rhesus monkeys.
Among the most enlightening (and rather heartbreaking) was one with eight
baby monkeys who were separated from their mothers hours after birth. Each
was placed in a cage with two inanimate surrogate mothers — one made
of wire, the other of terry cloth. Four of the monkeys got milk from their
terry-cloth mothers; four from their wire mothers.
Over the next 165 days, all eight monkeys drank milk and gained the same
amount of weight, whether their nourishment came from their wire mother
or their terry-cloth mother. However, all the monkeys spent much more time
clinging to the cloth mothers than the wire mothers, no matter which provided
milk. Freud would have been surprised! The researchers also found that when
frightened, the baby monkeys would cling to the cloth mothers, not the wire
mothers. In 1965, the Harlows wrote:
Although the attainment of primary satisfaction from nursing and physical
contact characterizes the stage of comfort and attachment, we do not believe
that these contribute equally . . . We strongly believe that intimate
physical contact is the variable of primary importance . . . [to] establish
a bond of maternal trust . . . (p. 292)
Although the attainment of primary satisfaction from nursing and physical
contact characterizes the stage of comfort and attachment, we do not believe
that these contribute equally . . . We strongly believe that intimate
physical contact is the variable of primary importance . . . [to] establish
a bond of maternal trust . . . (p. 292)
The most startling and disturbing finding from the primate labs was the
disorganized social behavior of some infant monkeys reared in social isolation.
When these monkeys were brought together, they did not know how to play
with one another. And when they were grown, these animals lashed out violently
at new infant monkeys placed in their cages. The Harlows reasoned that childhood
interaction with real monkeys was critical to primate social development.
Orphaned Children Prove Hugs Matter
In the wake of World War II, the World Health Organization asked British
psychiatrist John Bowlby to investigate the effects on children being separated
or orphaned from their parents. This assignment led him to propose a new
attachment theory, based on evolutionary and ecological data, including
the Harlows' stunning research. Bowlby's visits to orphanages, hospitals,
and nurseries convinced him that reliable, loving, social interaction was
critical to children's emotional health. He observed that when first separated
from their parents, children cried and showed other signs of fear and distress.
After some time, they would despair and act depressed. If left without a
loving, reliable caregiver long enough, these orphaned children would become
indifferent to human contact altogether.
If human infants need an adult for survival (for protection and food),
then evolution had likely favored those babies who exhibited behaviors that
promoted closeness between themselves and their caregivers. Crying, for
example, usually brings caregivers closer. Bowlby called this "attachment
behavior." Looking, smiling, reaching, and eventually talking can also
function as attachment behaviors.
Bowlby also believed that attachment was essential for learning. Secure
attachment gave children the courage to explore, and exploration allowed
for new experiences. In turn, new experiences promoted learning. (Is this
sounding relevant to camp yet?)
Out of Africa
Bowlby's "secure base" theory of attachment has stood the test
of time and inspired mountains of research. But what about individual differences
in attachment style? We have all seen variations in how children separate
from their parents at camp. Has anyone come up with a way to categorize
these different behaviors? Yes. In fact, it was Bowlby's prize student,
Mary Ainsworth, who first began categorizing attachment styles during her
work with the Ganda tribe in Uganda. Inspired by both Bowlby and the earlier
work of William Blatz, Ainsworth set out to observe how Ganda infants and
their mothers interacted. Of particular interest was how the infants behaved
when their mothers left the room. Her findings confirmed other cross-cultural
research. Most babies develop what we call "separation anxiety"
between six and nine months.
Ainsworth's subsequent research in Baltimore was with 106, white, middle-class
mothers and their one-year-olds. In a controlled laboratory situation —
called "The Strange Situation" — Ainsworth observed how
infants behaved with and without their mothers, with their mothers and a
stranger, all alone, alone with a stranger, and then reunited with their
mothers. She found that the majority of one-year-olds explored the toys
in the room when their mother was present, got upset when she left, were
not consoled by the stranger, and greeted their mothers with joy when she
returned. Ainsworth called these infants "securely attached."
The other infants were "insecurely attached" in some way. About
a fifth of the infants seemed indifferent to their mothers' location in
the room, sometimes cried when she left, were sometimes consoled by the
stranger, and usually turned away from their mother when she returned. Ainsworth
called these infants "anxious/avoidant."
The remaining infants showed an "anxious/resistant" style of
attachment. They were clingy and anxious even with their mother near, became
very upset when she left, and had mixed feelings when she returned. They
might cry angrily to be picked up with their arms outstretched, but then
struggle to climb down once in their mothers' arms.
Ainsworth's revolutionary research demonstrated that separation and reunion
behaviors reveal much about the nature of a child's relationship with his
or her primary caregivers.
Some Like it Hot
Attachment happens between children and caregivers, but what exists within
children? How can two children, raised by the same parents, in the same
house, have completely different personalities? How can one be so mellow
and the other so high-strung? The answer may be found in the revolutionary
work of doctors Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess.
In 1956, Thomas and Chess began a longitudinal study of 136, mostly white,
middle- or upper-middle-class Jewish families from New York City. The research
team collected data on the children's activity levels, biological rhythms,
responses to new objects, adaptability, reaction intensity, distractibility,
attention span, and mood.
Among Thomas and Chess's most interesting findings was a distinction among
three groups of infants. They called these one-year-olds "easy,"
"difficult," and "slow-to-warm-up." Easy babies were
playful, regular in their biological functions, and adapted readily to new
circumstances. Difficult babies were irregular in their biological functions,
irritable, and often responded intensely and negatively to new situations,
or they would try to withdraw from them. Slow-to-warm-up babies had low
activity levels and their responses were typically mild. They tended to
withdraw from new situations, but in a mild way, and required more time
than the easy babies to adapt to change.
Thomas and Chess also found they could use some of these temperamental
qualities at age one to predict severe behavior problems at age five. Babies
who were highly active, intense, grouchy, and easily frustrated were most
likely to develop behavior problems as toddlers. The researchers also observed
that some of these difficult children provoked negative reactions in their
parents, and a cycle of problematic behavior ensued. (More about parenting
in article five.) Clearly, some behavior problems are best understood in
the context of a child's temperament and the style of parenting that temperament
What to Pack for Camp
The four studies summarized in this article have revolutionized child psychology
by teaching us the following:
Now, what are the practical implications you can pack for camp?
Basic Needs
Security and Exploration
Attachment and Separation
Piece of Cake
Attending camp for the first time is a bold risk for children and parents.
Everything that is comforting about being together and at home must be voluntarily
set aside in the interest of a new experience. Once families have taken
that leap, all you need to do is provide a safe, loving, consistent, entertaining,
educational environment that is sensitive to children's individual temperaments
and responsive to the activation of attachment behaviors, such as homesickness.
Piece of cake, right? So, what do you really do in the off-season?

Buffalo, NY -- This spring and summer have been overall wet.
Since June 1st, Buffalo has received nearly 10 inches of rain. Normally it gets about six inches, so we are above average with rainfall by nearly four inches. Despite some dry, hot stretches, all of the rain isn't helping some local agriculture. "If you know anything about gardening and farming, it makes it pretty difficult to say the least," Mike Thorpe, Owner of Thorpe's Organic Family Farm in East Aurora, said.
Mike and his wife Gayle have owned their family farm for 32 years. They are hoping for dry weather this summer. "When it's wet you just can't work the soil and when you can't work the soil you can't plant so consequently things get delayed," Mike Thorpe said.
The Thorpes will have to replant some of their crops such as corn because of all the rain. "We normally plant around 700 acres or a little more," Thorpe said. "And we were only able to plant 400."
It also hasn't been dry enough to make much hay. "Generally takes... three days to get your hay dry depending on what time of the season it is," Thorpe said. "And that's been very difficult for us, it's just been nearly impossible due to the weather."
But the wet weather is actually helping some crops that can handle it. Fruits like strawberries are mostly doing just fine and this year taste especially powerful. "They were excellent, and our blueberry crop... looks like it will do well," Thorpe said.
But there were more crops harmed than not from all the rain and those at the Cornell Co-Operative Extension of Erie County say there's even concern over some fall crops. "Hopefully we're going to have a good pumpkin crop," Sharon Bachman, with the Cornell Co-Operative Extension, said. "With the wet conditions to plant as we all know, so possibly delayed planting."
Meantime farmers are just trying to make due. "There are going to be some losses definitely this year for us and I'm sure a lot of other people in our area," Thorpe said. "It's full of challenges but that's life on the farm."
Some dry stretches recently have helped some farmers make hay and plant pumpkins.

54-year old Robert Hall of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, is recovering after being dragged by a truck for half a mile.
Hall's wife, 61-year old Jeanette Morris, tied him to the bumper of her truck and drove off with him, carrying him on a dirt road.
WFTV writes that Hall let her tie him up because she was threatening him with a stun gun. Hall was staying at Morris' residence, for the time he needed to repay a debt he had with her.
She went out of town and returned on Tuesday with a deputy, when she found out that Hall's girlfriend was living with him, in her house. Apparently, she wanted him to leave the residence but could not force him to.
She told the deputy she would spend the night elsewhere, instead returned. Morris was joined by a 63-year-old man by the name of Harold Anderson and a third person.
The three attacked Hall, punching him and shocking him with the stun gun, before tying him to the pickup truck. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office held all three in custody, in connection to the incident.
Hall managed to escape at one point, and ran to a neighbor's house asking for assistance.
"He's in his underwear, he's all bloody, he's got a rope around his neck. [...] He was claiming that somebody was trying to kill him and just about that time there was a pick up truck coming down the road," the witness describes. He immediately called 911.
"I see a dude standing there, he's got hemorrhaging from his face, his mouths all busted up, he's got a rope around his neck," Tyler Shevlin told reporters.
"He had no pants on. [...] His underwear, that's all he was in, and a T-shirt. His underwear was completely shredded. His back was bleeding. The back of his thighs were all bleeding," he describes.

Lean Cover is a flexible packaging material made of a combination of calcium carbonate (chalk) mixed with polyethylene. It is considered to be resource-efficient and have a low environmental impact.
Marks & Spencer uses a 2.2-mil thickness of the material that's printed flexo in five line colors plus an overlacquer. Some colors are metallized says Chrystel Landkvist market coordinator at Ecolean.
For Ecolean this is yet another step in introducing Lean Cover in Europe. Last year French retail chain Carrefour switched its butter wraps to the material. The material can also be used for wrapping bakery products snacks confections and ready meals says Barry Twigg chief executive at National Flexible. —AO

Loudmouth Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland apparently has the press convinced that she knows what gender Beyonce's baby is going to be.
People magazine reports that the singer (Rowland, we mean) is one of a number of people who have been referring to the baby, whose gender has not been confirmed by either of its parents, as a "she." Other sources have used feminine pronouns to describe the unborn child as well, but none of them are close enough to Beyonce to be credible named sources — or to be the kind of bold-faced name you can use to write a story about the matter.
RELATED: PHOTOS: Beyoncé Shows Off Pregnancé In Sparkly Minidress
So how do we know it's a girl? Rowland told Bang Showbiz about the trouble she's having finding appropriate gifts for the long-awaited child. She said:
"I have no idea what I'm going to buy Beyoncé at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible."

Beyonce and Jay-Z have been famously private about many aspects of their relationship as long as their relationship has been a thing, which has sort of made us think we won't find out anything about the baby until they want us to. But if Rowland, who has to have good enough press training to know better, is telling everyone this baby is going to be a girl, it's probably going to be a girl. A girl who's going to look really, really good in the House of Dereon line of baby clothes!

Woodland at Mount Stewart estate
Mount Stewart estate is comprised mainly of woodland areas, most originating from plantation woodland. Scattered areas of semi-natural broadleaf woodland have established themselves throughout the estate. Discover more about our trees and their origins.
Coniferous woodland supports the wildlife
Areas of coniferous woodland are mostly located in the north-west part of the estate. These large blocks of conifers are leased to forest service and include:
- Fort Hill
- Lowry's Screen
- Dalzell's Hill
- Cattle Knowes
- Old Hill
- Castlereagh Oak Wood
- Moat Hill
- The Glen
- Patterson's Hill
For the most part, these areas are shrub and herb poor, and of limited biological interest. However, they're important in terms of the continuity of wooded areas in the overall landscape. Thus, they're locally significant for species such as the red squirrel and the cloaked pug moth.
Broadleaf plantation origins and species
The remainder of the woodland blocks are mainly composed of broadleaf plantation and are managed by the Trust. The broadleaf plantation is of varying age, the older part originating from planting during the 18th and 19th century.
These woodlands are dominated by beech and - due to dense shading within - have retained a plantation character. Where beech is less dominant, the woodland has developed a shrub layer of mostly ash and sycamore. To a lesser extent, elder and holly are also present.
The more recent broadleaf plantations contain a variety of species with oak and ash as significant constituents.

Lick That Ass!
When a male is properly trained and ready for his sissy panties, it's good to reward him once in a while by doing something nice and thoughtful for him - like making him lick your dirty anus till his tongue smells like your divine shit!
Then he'll know where he falls on the totem pole, I can tell you!
The first words he should hear when he gets home from work is
and he better do it with the right amount of gusto and panache!

Lady Gaga pee turned into perfume
Lady Gaga's urine has been transformed into a perfume following a recent visit to TV presenter Andy Cohen's talk show.
The "Applause" hit maker appeared on Cohen's show "Watch What Happens Live" in September, and a month later, she took to Twitter to share a surprising detail about her recent visit.
She wrote, "So Andy told me they made perfume out of my pee from the trash in WWH (Watch What Happens) dressing room (long story) U HAVE BEEN WARNED IF HE TRIES TO SPRITZ U."
On Tuesday, Cohen finally opened up about Gaga's tweet, telling late night TV host Jimmy Fallon that the bizarre claim was indeed true.
Cohen explained, "Lady Gaga peed in a trash can in her dressing room. It's a long story, but she did. She said on her way out, 'Look, I couldn't get my way to the bathroom, I'm sorry' – she's a superstar, she's Lady Gaga, she can pee wherever she wants as far as I'm concerned.
"And so I said to our PAs (Production Assistants), 'You guys, we gotta do something with Gaga's pee. That's a pop culture artifact. We could bottle that up and put it somewhere in the (set).'"
He continued, "I have a PA named Ryan and he emailed me and goes, 'Look, Gaga's pee is going to go toxic.' Not because it's Gaga's pee, but just pee goes toxic, apparently. But he found a recipe online where you can make it into something else using alcohol and stuff. He made it into perfume.
"So, we have it in a pretty bottle. I know, it's kind of gross, but that is a pop culture artifact, if you ask me. That is going to be worth something."

Lady Gaga to close New York's Roseland Ballroom
Lady Gaga will bid farewell to New York City's iconic Roseland Ballroom next year by performing the venue's last ever shows.
Reports that emerged last month suggested the hall will close its doors after 50 years, during which the likes of Madonna, Beyonce, the Rolling Stones and Metallica have graced the stage.
Gaga has now confirmed she will play a number of shows at the Roseland before bosses take it out of business.
A post on her Facebook reads, "Lady Gaga will help shut down her hometown venue with a real New York theatrical affair! Gaga will play the final shows EVER at the Roseland in a very intimate residency."
The "Poker Face" superstar will perform four shows in March and April.
Lady Gaga: I am not the next Queen Of Pop
Lady Gaga has reignited her feud with Madonna by insisting she has no interest in becoming the next Queen of Pop and doesn't care about the superstar's opinion of her.
The pair has been embroiled in a spat since 2011 after Gaga's hit "Born This Way" was widely compared to Madonna's 1989 track "Express Yourself."
Following the comparison, Madonna has taken several swipes at Gaga, performing a mash-up of both songs during her 2012 MDNA tour and jokingly dedicating her track Masterpiece to the singer during a concert in New Jersey last year, telling fans, "I'm gonna dedicate this next song to Lady Gaga. … Imitation is the highest form of flattery."
However, the "Poker Face" hit maker insists she is not bothered by what Queen of Pop thinks of her and has no interest in taking over her position in the music world.
In a radio interview with Howard Stern on Tuesday, she says, "I think she's more aggravated that I'm not upset that she doesn't like me. Because I don't care that she doesn't like me. No, I don't care. It's such nonsense…
"There's this thing with some people that I'm a threat to the throne. I don't want your [bleep] throne, no thanks, I have my own. I actually don't want a throne at all, because I don't view myself as a queen, I view myself as one of my fans."

Lady Gaga hailed teenage education activist Malala Yousafzai at the Glamour Women of the Year event in New York on Monday, insisting the Pakistani youth was more deserving of the magazine's December cover than herself.
The singer graces the front of Glamour's annual special issue, and while she is grateful for the honor, she felt an image of Yousafzai would have been a better choice.
Accepting an award at the Carnegie Hall gala, Gaga admitted the spotlight belonged to fellow honoree Yousafzai, who hit the headlines last year when she was shot in the head by Pakistani Taliban operatives who disagreed with her outspoken support of education for girls in her homeland.
She told the audience, "Who really belongs on the cover is not me. If I could forfeit my Glamour cover, I would give it to Malala. You're so inspiring, so young and so brilliant."
And Gaga then took aim at the image of her Glamour magazine editors chose to use on the cover, adding, "Malala used her voice, so I'm going to use mine… The picture, which I'm very grateful for and very happy to be on this cover, I felt it was too beautiful. I felt my skin looked too perfect, and my hair looked too soft. This is not usually how I dress or how I carry myself…
"I believe my true mission is to inspire young people to fight back against forces that make them feel like they're not beautiful or important. I do not look like this when I wake up in the morning."
Others feted among Glamour's Women of the Year included Kerry Washington, models Christy Turlington and Liya Kebede, Microsoft founder Bill Gates' philanthropist wife Melinda, and Barbra Streisand, who was presented with the publication's Lifetime Achievement award.
Lady Gaga floored by Madonna covering Born This Way
Lady Gaga was stunned when she discovered Madonna had covered her hit song "Born This Way" on tour after critics noted the similarities between the tune and the veteran pop star's track "Express Yourself."
The eccentric 27-year-old came under fire in 2011, when so-called music experts insisted her number one single sounded just like the Queen of Pop's 1989 hit.
Then, during a show on her MDNA tour in Israel in 2012, Madonna added stirred up the story by covering "Born This Way" onstage without commenting on whether the impromptu performance was a tribute to Gaga or a jab at her.
The "Applause" hit maker still isn't clear what Madonna's intention was – and she tells Britain's Attitude magazine that she doesn't really care.
Gaga admits, "I have to be really honest, I was completely kind of floored that Madonna was singing my song on her stage! I mean, Madonna's … she's Madonna. I looked up to her for a long time. I'm not quite sure what her intention was – to do that in the show, but I don't really care.
"All it meant to me was that Madonna Ciccone was singing my song on her stage … and, as a punk rocker from New York, I've basically been hoping that I would become so good that one day I would pisss off Madonna!"
Lady Gaga: I was smoking 15 joints a day after hip injury
Pop superstar Lady Gaga became addicted to marijuana after suffering a hip injury last year.
The singer underwent an operation earlier this year after she sustained a labral tear in her hip, and she has now revealed she eased her pain by smoking up to 15 joints a day.
She tells Attitude magazine, "I was smoking 15 joints a day… It was a habit that eventually occurred when the pain got so bad with the hip. I was just numbing, numbing, numbing myself then sleeping it off, then getting on stage, killing it in pain, then getting off and smoking, smoking, smoking, not knowing what the pain was. F— if I know what hurts the most, you know?"
The singer admits she tried to kick the addiction, but found her cravings would creep back constantly, adding, "I would break the habit and it would sneak back in and I would break it and sneak back in."
However, the star has since managed to cut down on the habit, adding, "Now I smoke a little bit at night just, you know, for fun. But not to cope, that's the difference. I'm the soberest I've ever been in the past five years."
Lady Gaga to become first singer to perform in space
Singer Lady Gaga is set to take her talents to outerspace and become the first musician to perform in orbit.
The star have booked seats on a Virgin Galactic ship and Gaga will reportedly sing a song that will be broadcast from space as part of the Zero G Colony tech festival in New Mexico in 2015.
A source tells Us Weekly magazine, "She has to do a month of vocal training because of the atmosphere," adding she has taken out "a ridiculous life insurance policy" just in case anything goes wrong.
The pop superstar joins Ashton Kutcher, Justin Bieber and Leonardo DiCaprio, who have already signed up for the Virgin Galactic program; the stars have paid $250,000 each to secure their spots.
The flight guests will experience a few minutes of weightlessness and a view of the earth from 62 miles above the earth – the internationally accepted boundary of space.
Kelly Osbourne sorry for Lady Gaga snub
Kelly Osbourne has apologized for her angry response to Lady Gaga's birthday cake peace offering.
The two women have been tangled in a public feud since Osbourne was bullied online by some of Lady Gaga's fans, prompting the "Applause" singer to pen a message to her former pal in January criticizing her part in the show "Fashion Police."
Sharon Osbourne fueled the war of words when she jumped to her daughter's defense and branded Gaga an attention seeker, but the two appeared to have settled their differences when "The X Factor" judge gave the pop star a standing ovation following her performance on the U.K. version of the TV talent show on Sunday,
The singer then presented the rock manager with a cake for her daughter, who celebrated her birthday on Sunday, but Kelly spurned the peace offering with an angry tweet, writing, "Not to be ungrateful but why would you send me a birthday cake via my MOTHER in a country half the would away? #JustSendItToME #LoveNotWar EatMyS**t #Hypocrisy."
But Osbourne has now backtracked and apologized for her response, admitting it was childish and insisting she is eager to end the feud with Gaga.
She took to Twitter on Monday evening (28Oct13) to write, "@ladygaga I acted like a child last night. Just not into publicity stunts call me & we will end this like adults I dont want 2 (to) fight anymore."

Kelly Osbourne fuming over Lady Gaga's peace offering cake
Kelly Osbourne is refusing to back down in her feud with Lady Gaga despite the pop star commissioning a cake in celebration of her 29th birthday.
The pair has been embroiled in a war of words since Osbourne was bullied by some of Gaga's devoted fans, prompting Lady Gaga to write an online note to her pal in January criticizing her role on "Fashion Police."
The fight was further fueled by Kelly's mother Sharon Osbourne, who lashed out at Gaga and branded her an "attention seeker."
The singer performed on the U.K. version of "The X Factor" on Sunday night, and received a standing ovation from Sharon, who sits as a judge on the show. The rock manager revealed they had sorted out their differences backstage.
Gaga presented a cake to Sharon in honor of her daughter, who celebrated her birthday on Sunday, but the younger Osbourne has snubbed the peace offering in a series of angry tweets.
She writes, "Not to be ungrateful but why would you send me a birthday cake via my MOTHER in a country half the world away? #JustSendItToME #LoveNotWar EatMyS— #Hypocrisy.
"I like desert, but i prefer the truth… it's sweeter."
Lady Gaga strips down for sex club show
Lady Gaga stripped down to a black bra and stockings and donned a mustache for her latest odd performance at a fabled sex club in Berlin, Germany.
The provocative pop superstar was promoting her upcoming album ARTPOP at the infamous Berghain venue – and she was dressed appropriately for the saucy show on Thursday night.
The "Applause" singer hit the stage for 50 competition winners.
Her latest showcase came hours after she was spotted out and about in the city sporting a bizarre blonde headpiece which covered her entire face.

Sanctions loom as observers held in east Ukraine

SLOVYANSK, Ukraine (AP) — As Western governments vowed to impose more sanctions against Russia and its supporters in eastern Ukraine, a group of foreign military observers remained in captivity Saturday accused of being NATO spies by a pro-Russian insurgency.
The German-led, eight-member team was traveling under the auspices of the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe when they were detained Friday.
Vyacheslav Ponomarev, the self-proclaimed "people's mayor" of Slovyansk, described the detained observers as "captives" and said that they were officers from NATO member states.
"As we found maps on them containing information about the location of our checkpoints, we get the impression that they are officers carrying out a certain spying mission," Ponomarev said, adding they could be released in exchange for jailed pro-Russian activists.
Outside Slovyansk, a city about 150 kilometers (90 miles) west of Russia, Ukraine government forces continued operations to form a security cordon as it attempts to quell unrest threatening to derail the planned May 25 presidential election.
The U.S. and other nations in the Group of Seven said in a joint statement released Friday night by the White House that they plan to impose additional economic sanctions on Russia in response to its actions in Ukraine. The West has accused Russia of using covert forces to encourage unrest in Ukraine and says Moscow has done nothing to pressure pro-Russian militias to free police Login to read more

This writer is just going to set fingers to keyboard and see what comes out.
This writer is having problems understanding this current election cycle.
First we have the Main Stream Media reporting on this division within the Republican Party between some portion of the GOP and the TEA Party.
This writer's first confusion comes in trying to understand how the Republican Party is at odds with the TEA Party. This writer wrote about this confusion to some extent here:
Is McConnell's TEA Party code for rank & file Republicans?
This writer's point being that everything the TEA Party promotes is contained in the Republican Party Platform. Which leads this writer's to assert that the Real Battle within the Republican Party is between its Progressive RINO Establishment Leadership and its rank and file members. This as opposed to the Main Stream Media Propaganda that the Republican Party division is between Mainstream Republicans and the radical TEA Party element.
But as this writer's regular readers know, this writer believes that the True Grassroots TEA Party groups have actually been usurped by paid GOP political operatives. As such, the majority of TEA Party groups are little more than cheer leading clubs for Republican candidates. (Democrat loyalists assert that the TEA Party was never a grassroots movement but a GOP invention from its inception. The writer believes his position, in this regard ,is more accurate.) This writer is quick to point out that members of the Occupy movement have stated as similar usurpation by elements of the Democrat Party has occurred to the Occupy Movement.
Meanwhile back on the Main Stream Media Propaganda front, this years primaries and caucuses were hyped as a major confrontation between the Republican Insiders and the radical TEA Party. And GOP Senator McConnell won and announced that he had crushed his TEA Party opponent. Followed quickly by an announcement that the TEA Party would now back the Republican Establishment DC Insiders.
A recent (May 22, 2014 Page A4) Minneapolis Star and Sickle Article headlines "GOP Insiders new life of Party?" announced:
But was more amazing in the aftermath was how quickly the TEA Party -- symbolized by the outside conservative groups that once were calling for the Senators defeat -- rushed to embrace this embodiment of the Washington GOP establishment and call for party unity this fall. (This writer would have preferred to provide a link for this article but mysteriously the article no longer is available on the internet. Bad link here)
Now lets back the truck up and see if my review of what transpires gives you the same "Though the Looking Glass" puzzlement this writer has.
First, we have the usurpation of grassroots TEA Party groups which was personally witnessed by this writer. This writer's knowledge is first hand. Yet Democrats will insist that the TEA Party from the start was a GOP ruse. But the important fact is that for at least the past year, most TEA Party groups have been usurped by the GOP and became little more than GOP Cheerleaders. The vast majority of their time is spent at monthly meetings watching movies and listening to speakers espousing the status quo GOP perspective of reality. This writer wrote about this phenomenon in this article:
How to tell if your TEA Party or Occupy group has been usurped (Part 1 of 2)
Yet leading up to these primaries, Main Stream Media was hyping that these radical TEA Party groups were challenging incumbent GOP candidates? Now, if the majority of TEA Party groups have been usurped by GOP political operatives, how is the TEA Party "radical"? And then after McConnell handily beats the TEA Party challenger, does it really come as any great surprised that GOP usurped TEA Party groups would suddenly endorse the Pro-New-World-Order, Progressive, RINO, GOP Establishment, DC Insider McConnell?
Wouldn't true, grassroots TEA Party groups mull over their options for a while and wait for other primary results before just jumping on the status quo GOP band wagon? Wouldn't actual grassroots TEA Party groups at least debate forming a third party?
All of this leads this writer to ponder, "was this all just for show?" And if so, "for what purpose?"
What makes examining all of this even tougher is this writer's personal view, after 20+ years of being a Republican, that there is only 1 Tyrant Class Pretending to be 2 major political parties. Further, that this Tyrant Class uses issues to divide, conquer and distract from what they are doing while they rob WE THE PEOPLE blind.
To step back into the perspective of reality of a person who still believes there are 2 parties requires some mental gymnastics.
Yet this writer believes he has done a pretty good job of laying out the issue.
When it is all said and done, this writer believes you will realize you have been put through the Progressive Perspective of Reality hammer mill. This following tweet sums up this writer perspective of Progressive Logic:
Analogy to #Progressive Governance Doctrine Logic: Up is down, Down is up & the sky is grass @WETHEPEOPLETAR #teaparty #occupy #tcot #tlot
This writer believes the Progressives have full control of the leadership of both alleged major parties.
But as always, per Natural Law, this writer prefers that you the reader determine truth for yourself, using your own observations and reasoning.
Those were my thoughts.
In Closing:
Thank you, my fellow citizens, for taking your valuable time to read and reflect upon what is written here.
If what is written here rings true to you, perhaps you should contact your local elected officials and let them know. If you are afraid of repercussions, snail mail it anonymously and ask them to respond in the local paper or their own monthly/quarterly internet newsletter. Even if this article refers to something outside you geographic area, it still likely applies to your location. Remember all those taxpayer training junkets we taxpayers send the bureaucrats on? They all learn the same "livestock management" techniques to use on WE THE PEOPLE.
And that leaves WE THE PEOPLE with this conundrum: While our #Government works full time with compensation and funded with our money for the cause of #Tyranny; WE THE PEOPLE are forced to work part time without compensation for the cause of #liberty with what is left over of our time, money and energy.
Finally, this article is written with the same intentions as Thomas Paine http://ushistory.org/paine. I seek no leadership role. I seek only to help the American People find their own way using their own "Common Sense" http://amzn.to/kbRuar
