Planetary nebulae are not made of planets, and no planets are visible within them.
Rather, they are the gaseous and dusty material expelled by a small to medium-sized dying star.
A far better name for these objects would be "emission nebulae" because they emit gases in a small burst, sort of like a "burp" of gases suddenly thrown outward into space.

Natural gas
The majority of our natural gas production comes from a shallow gas play that covers more than three million acres in southeast Alberta, including parts of Canadian Forces Base Suffield. We have operated for more than 50 years in the area and in that time have produced in excess of two trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Shallow natural gas is drilled with lighter equipment and has a small environmental footprint.
Much of what we know about natural gas development comes from our years of experience operating in southeast Alberta. It's that experience along with our team's ability to advance technology that has been key to improving how we get natural gas out of the ground. Today, we are able to drill and complete a shallow well in less than 12 hours. In 2014, natural gas production averaged 488 million cubic feet per day.

Expert Opinion
Now into its second generation, the Touareg is a solid, powerful SUV, which competes with the likes of the supremely popular Porsche Cayenne, but does so with a far more economical price tag. This is not to suggest that it is as affordable as a supermini, but it does sit on the more approachable end of the SUV scale, which, considering its space (1642 litres of boot space with the rear seats folded), its performance (the 3.0 litre V6 hits 0-60 in just under seven seconds), and its agile handling, is superb value for money.

The Mississippi Legislature has adopted a bill that designates State Highway 30 West from New Albany to the Lafayette County line as the "William Faulkner Memorial Highway."
The plan, which is awaiting Gov. Phil Bryant's signature to become law, was hurriedly attached to another bill in the waning days of the legislative session.
We think the designation is a good idea, and will be even better if legislators representing Lafayette County add their segment between the county line and Oxford to the designation in the next legislative session.
New Albany has considered trying to get the route labeled a "Mississippi Scenic Byway," a designation that is regulated by the state and must follow guidelines set out by the federal government. The application process for that designation is complicated and difficult to navigate.
It is uncertain whether Mayor Tim Kent and the Board of Aldermen will want to expend the time and effort now that the William Faulkner Memorial Highway designation has been approved.
We think the memorial highway designation is a fitting way to honor the connection between Faulkner's birth city and his home city of Oxford.

Outdoor cafe and restaurant seating (tables and chairs) helps to enliven the sidewalk environment and encourage economic development in our neighborhood commercial districts and is one of many ways to activate the space in the public right of way under the SF Better Streets Plan.
The City has established Public Works Code, Article 5.2 allowing restaurants and cafes to provide customers with outdoor seating that preserves the charms and uniqueness for which San Francisco is world famous. Cafe Tables and Chairs Guidelines have also been established for all business owners who wish to obtain a Revocable Street-Use Permit to place Tables and Chairs on the sidewalk in front of their restaurant or cafe. These guidelines balance safety and accessibility with commercial prosperity.
Now you can Renew Your Permit and Pay Your Renewal Invoice online.
Tables & Chairs can be placed only on the sidewalk in front of the applicant's place of business.
As part of the café tables & chairs application, you are required to gain City Planning approval. Download the Request for Planning Code Compliance. Take it to the City Planning counter located at the lobby of 1660 Mission Street along with plan, and photos for Planning staff review. Once DCP has determined that this request is in compliance with Planning Code, Public Works's Bureau of Street-Use and Mapping can then generate a Notice of Intent to Place Tables & Chairs and continue the permit process.
Placement of tables and chairs on the sidewalk must include the installation of diverters at each end to guide pedestrians away from the occupied area of the sidewalk. Diverters must conform to the following design guidelines:
Applicants can now Renew Permits and Pay Renewal Invoices over the internet.

RALEIGH -- One of the stranger aspects of the messy state budget-making process is that state leaders, as much as they might like to, can't really cut to the chase.
At some point in that process, the general shape of the end-product becomes fairly apparent to astute observers.
This year, that end-product will likely include $400 million to $600 million more than the $19 billion budget plan crafted by House Republicans. Most of the additional money will go to public schools and universities.
The money probably won't come from extending a penny sales tax hike scheduled to expire on July 1. It probably will come from holding off on state building repairs, tapping the state's reserve savings account, and grabbing money that House Republicans had designated for the state's pension fund.
How can I be so sure that's what a final product will look like?
Well, I could be wrong. Unforeseen factors can and will enter into the picture.
The known factors suggest that I'm right.
They include Perdue's growing willingness to block legislative Republicans by using the veto, and poll numbers suggesting that her use of the veto has improved her popularity among Democrats and independents. She's also made clear that she won't go along with the proposed House cuts to public education.
As for legislative Republicans, they staked themselves out last fall on the expiration of "temporary" tax hikes adopted two years ago. Agreeing to extend the tax increases for another year or two would be a reversal of a fundamental campaign promise.
So a middle ground that involves freeing up money from the places where legislators traditionally look in tough times becomes the most obvious outcome.
Another ingredient in the budget mix are the five Democrats who voted with House Republicans on a budget.
After that vote, a few Republicans could barely contain themselves with giddiness, believing that they enjoyed a veto-proof majority (it takes a three-fifths majority to override a veto; Republicans are four votes short in the House) on the budget.
The likelihood that the five will stick with Republicans is slim. What they've done is shrewdly maneuver themselves into a prime position to figure into a final budget deal.
But that deal may be a couple of months away, and will probably involve Perdue using her veto stamp before the sides get down to real bargaining.
Senate Republicans, of late, have indicated that they might be putting more money into education than their House counterparts. It probably won't be enough.
The reason that all involved must go through some Kabuki dance is because they first must prove to their own constituencies that they are serious about their negotiating positions.
House Speaker Thom Tillis will have to show the far-right members of his House Republican caucus that he is no pushover; Senate leader Phil Berger wants to avoid GOP activists questioning his conservative credentials; Perdue wants to show teachers that she did all she could for them.
And middle-of-the road North Carolinians will have to wait.

School leaders face many challenges, of course, and responding to them with innovative solutions is essential to keeping our schools moving forward. But what if most conventional ideas about innovation are misguided or simply don't work? That is the contention of Stephen Shapiro, author of the provocative book, Best Practices Are Stupid, and one of America's foremost authorities on innovation, creativity and collaboration. Shapiro joins us this month to discuss his counterintuitive yet proven strategies and tactics for boosting innovation and making it part of the everyday culture of organizations. His methods have helped numerous organizations including Staples, GE, NASA, and the U.S. Air Force. Most ideas about innovation are neither innovative nor effective but, as many companies can attest, Steve Shapiro's concepts really are different and they work!
Q: Thanks for taking time to speak with us today, Steve. Let's start off by talking about the title of your book. Why are best practices stupid, anyway?
Stephen Shapiro: Well, there are two reasons why best practices are stupid. One is just purely from a competitive perspective, which is if you're replicating what other people are doing, you will never be able to catch up to them. Therefore, they'll always stay ahead of you. But I think the more important thing, certainly as it relates to schools and school administrators is the fact that what works for one organization, even in your same industry, may not work for you, because over time, organizations, schools, school systems create cultures. And you need to understand that what works for one culture doesn't necessarily work for another culture. So just replicating what somebody else does may actually have disastrous effects inside your organization.
Q: You believe that the traditional models of innovation are broken, inefficient, and don't produce results. What's wrong with the conventional approaches to innovation?
Stephen Shapiro: Well, there are some of them that are correct. And then there's a lot of them, though, that, again, only apply to certain types of organizations. And some of them have become these great, fun, trite expressions that people don't even know what they're really saying. So for example, and we'll probably talk about this at some point, thinking outside the box. Everyone talks about thinking outside the box, but they don't really know what they're saying, why they're saying it, what they want to achieve. And so what ends up happening is we perpetuate a lot of misconceptions and a lot of bad ideas in the name of innovation, which are, in fact, killing innovation.

The influential Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) has released what it calls a new "roadmap" for the future of health care, and a high level of consumer control is one of the primary destinations.
The newest WEDI report (.pdf) comes 20 years after its initial examination of the use of technology in health care. The 1993 report played an influential role in the development of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) as well as the transition to standardized transaction formats in payment.
The newest report focuses on 4 major areas: patient engagement, payment models, data harmonization and exchange, and "innovative encounter models." Although approaches and priorities differ in each area, the WEDI report emphasizes the need for greater coordination of technologies, both to make information-sharing more efficient and to provide consumers with a high degree of control over their own care and information.
"Health IT is not the cure in and of itself but, when adequately deployed, can serve as a powerful change agent," the report states. "The rise of mobile and other technologies creates many opportunities for the healthcare industry to move forward together to solve many of the challenges that have plagued the American healthcare system."

|The seaside city of Koper
Developed on a rocky island, Koper is the oldest town in Slovenia. Out of the three Slovenian coastal cities (Koper, Izola and Piran), Koper has experienced the most numerous layout modifications. The reasons for that also need to be sought in the changes of various reigns and states, all of which marked the city with their specific traits and names.
During Roman times Koper was called Capris; in the era of the pope Gregory I (599) it became known as Insula Capraria ("goat island"); under the Byzantine Empire (between the mid-6th and 8th centuries) the city took on the name Iustinopolis; the Aquileia Patriarchs renamed the city Caput Histriae ('head of Istria'), which the Venetians then rendered into its Italian form, Capodistria, and the Slovenians then gave the city its equivalent Slovenian name, Koper.
The longest reign over the city was that of the Venetian Republic (1279-1797), when Koper experienced economic (trade, salt production) and cultural prosperity (painting, music). The Venetian period is still echoed by the city architecture; despite numerous modern interventions, it has preserved its medieval character, with the city of Koper being a member of the European Association of Medieval Cities. In the Middle Ages, Koper was an island surrounded by walls and connected with the mainland with a wood bridge in the direction of Škocjan. It was protected by a mighty fortress - Lion Castle, and surrounded by vast saltpans. Koper's importance began to diminish in the 18th century, when Trieste was proclaimed a free port, and ultimately ended with the downfall of the Venetian Republic.
In the period from the 19th century to World War I (i.e. from the Napoleonic Empire 1806-1813 to the Hapsburg Monarchy 1813-1918), Koper experienced numerous changes in economic and social development. This period was marked by the reduction of the saltpans, which were entirely abandoned in 1912, and the changing of the layout of the city, which saw the city to begin to lose its island character. In 1825, a second road connection with the mainland was constructed (Semedela Road), followed by the coastal road in the mid-19th century, a sea connection with Trieste-Poreč and the railway connection Trieste-Poreč in 1902.
Under the Italian Empire, Koper entirely lost its island character by means of the draining of the deserted saltpans.
The period following World War II brought about further changes. Until the final determination of the border with Italy through the signing of the London Memorandum in 1954, when it officially became part of former Yugoslavia, Koper was part of Zone B administered by the Yugoslav national Army, first belonging to the Julian March and from September 1947 to the neutral state called the Free Trieste Territory (FTT). As part of Yugoslavia, Koper experienced profound changes in its national structure. This also brought about new architectural interventions both in the city centre and its surroundings, especially in terms of mass development with the construction of the port.
Today, Koper is both a commercial and tourist city, continuing to develop its offerings in terms of seaside resorts, nautical tourism, sports and shopping. It has also become a University City.

| Praetor's Palace
Praetor's Palace closes off the south edge of central Koper Square. A storey palace with an exterior staircase and two elevated tower-like wings on the east and west, Praetor's Palace dominates the side of the square. It is the most representational secular building in the city. The building was constructed on the location of two older houses from the middle of the 13th century. In the second half of the 13th century, the buildings were connected by a loggia and were later rebuilt several times and finalised as a building with characteristics of Venetian Gothic and all posterior re-makings. With its late Gothic Renaissance facade and different inner areas, it is amongst the top secular palaces from the 13th century in Slovenia.
According to written sources, the locals were engaged with salt production as early as in 1182. The need for storing the salt produced also led to the construction of the St. Marc salt warehouse, today called the Taverna after a later function of the building. Adjacent to the building were several inns, where fishermen and owners of fishing boats used to gather. After the abandonment of the saltpans in 1912, the building was refurbished and served as a fish market, shop, warehouse and inn. Today, the Taverna is a multi-purpose space used for various events.
The Loggia building (Loža) was constructed in the 15th century, with its present appearance dating from the 17th century. It was used as a debate club for all the townsmen, with their discussions considered by the city council as well. It sports numerous heraldic decorations and a terracotta plastic of Madonna with Child in a corner niche, built in the memory of the devastating plague of 1554. Since the middle of the 19th century, it has also had a café, where you can enjoy a cup of coffee and the view of one of the most beautiful city squares of the former Venetian territory.
The Istrian village of Hrastovlje is world-famous for its Church of the Holy Trinity from the 13th century. The entire church is painted with frescoes by Janez from Castua, dating back to 1490 and also containing some inscriptions in the Glagolitic alphabet. The arch of the main apse depicts the Holy Trinity. The most famous fresco is the Dance of Death or Dance macabre; the rest are motives from the Old Testament. The church is surrounded by walls remaining from the 16th century, as well as two defence towers. The square stronghold walls served as a defence camp against the Turks. The Hrastovlje church with its defence camp is one of the most high-quality cultural and historical sites in Slovenia. The architecture of the village itself is quite interesting as well. Hrastovlje with its surroundings is also a popular starting point for cyclists, hikers and riders.
|Koper is one of Slovenia's few seaside towns
The most famous sight of Socerb is Strmec Castle. It is perched on the edge of a 300m Karst wall and offers a wonderful view of the Koper and Trieste Gulfs. Due to its location, Socerb was an important stronghold already in the Illyrian times, modified into a fortress in the Roman period. The beginnings of the castle go back to the 13th century. Due to its important strategic location, the castle changed owners several times and was badly damaged by fire in 1780. Previously accessible only via drawbridges and a hallway carved into rock, the castle of today can also be comfortably reached by car. The castle has a restaurant and offers to organise weddings on its terrace. Located nearby is the cave Sveta jama, the only underground church in Slovenia; it has a holy-water basin carved into calcareous sinter, with the stairs above it leading to the choir. Legend has it that the martyr St. Socerb, executed in 284, lived in the cave. Nowadays, the famous sight has been changed into a church.
The old Mediterranean town of Izola lies on the south-west shore of the Gulf of Trieste, where the genuine traditions of fishing and winemaking, mysterious traces of the past, and the welcoming character of the locals merge together to form an unforgettable mosaic of experiences. The stirring history of this little fishing port has created marvellous architectural treasures and ancient legends that will carry you back to the time when Izola was still an island. The town's hinterland offers countless opportunities to explore and discover the natural beauties of the Istrian hills, with their attractive stone houses and ancient churches.

Piran is a very special, precious city. It is the best preserved cultural monument of Slovenian Istria and the closest neighbour of Portorož, the luxurious city of flowers. Each time one looks at Piran from a distance or from the air, one is overcome by a feeling of surprise. Loved by the eyes of the people and by the eye of the camera, its image is known all over the world. When you visit Piran, you should take a closer look at its architecture, influenced by the Venetian Republic, which left its mark on most Istrian towns. Throughout time, Piran maintained the clustered medieval structure of narrow winding streets, houses huddled close together rising in cascades, the contact with the sea, and numerous squares and churches. Tartini Square is the gem found in the very centre of Piran. It was named after the famous violinist and composer Giuseppe Tartini, who made the town world-famous. His statue is located in the centre of the square. The city is surrounded by a circular wall. Piran is a member of the European Walled Cities Association. The city of Piran is a national historical monument. People earn their living mainly by tourism. Numerous events take place all year round in the city, both out in the open, and also in the buildings bearing the names of famous residents of Piran. The Church of St. George, the patron saint of Piran, rises above the town. From its lookout tower you have a wonderful view of Piran and its surroundings, all the way across the sea to the Croatian and Italian Coast.
Coastal city Portorož is the perfect place to kick back, relax and forget about life's worries. Portorož is closely connected to nearby Piran, a small medieval town whose fame and fortune come from one of the largest saltpans in this part of the world. Today mostly abandoned, the saltpans now provide shelter to numerous bird species to nest or stop during southbound migration. It is the saltpans and their natural elements-salt, brine, and fango mud-that spurred the development of tourism in Portorož. When the healing properties of these natural elements were discovered as early as the 19th century, Portorož got its first hotels and thermal centres. Today Portorož is popular place to work, relax and have fun.

- By all rights, stars should be stable, sober creatures, preferring to die with a whimper than with a bang. Astronomers have struggled to understand why some of them go supernova. These explosions have resisted efforts to describe them in a simplified way, making them perhaps the most complex phenomena in all of astrophysics.
- Theorists have gradually ratcheted up the sophistication of their models and have recently succeeded at last in reproducing the two main types of supernovae. The key has been to capture all three spatial dimensions in fine enough detail to track the turbulent flow dynamics.
- They have discovered that the explosions can be seriously lopsided, stirring the debris (which includes newly synthesized chemical elements) thoroughly. In the kind of explosion that leaves behind a neutron star, this star recoils and careens across the galaxy at high speed.

From left to right: Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in natural beauty: dollface and blushing bride
Lately with my irritable, teething constantly crying lil man, I've had no time to really do my makeup. Usually I put on some blush and a gloss and I'm running out the door. (Taking walks with him is the only thing that will calm him down.) A blush that I've been reaching for a lot lately is Tarte's Amazonian Clay Blush in Blushing Bride.
I first really got into Tarte stuff when I was pregnant. Their stuff excludes so many unnecessary irritants and harmful ingredients. Their Tarte Royalty Collection and Tarte Ten palette were probably my two faves for 2010. Anyway, let's get back to the blush. First of all I love this blush for a few reasons. It last twelve hours. Yes I said it twelve hours. It's loaded with antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E. (Hello, this stuff makes me look gorge and keeps me looking young, I'm sold!) And the whole Amazonian Clay thing is pretty spiffy too. Amazonian clay is full of nutrients, balances the skin, and reduces dryness and flakiness.I love that these blushes are so pigmented. Honestly one swoop of this product on the cheeks is all you need. The blush comes in eight colors. First of all, look at the packaging. How cute is that! Blushing Bride is a really pretty plum rose that does have a bit of shimmer but on my tan skin it gave me just the right amount of flush. I'm surprised I liked this one so much because of the shimmer, but when applied, it's not bad at all. I was also sent Natural Beauty which is a matte reddish pink, and Dollface which is straight hot pink. Here are the swatches, click to enlarge:
All in all I love this blush. The longevity, the crazy amount of pigment, and the anti-aging factor make this a win for me.
Go to your local Sephora and check them out!

Great game, and it has grown so much from the time it convinced me to buy it.

Far less depth than Dwarf Fortress but is much more accessible and long term, has more potential. Top complaints about DF are no GUI, no mouse support, and graphics. Gnomoria addresses all of these issues. You can do pretty much everything on the mouse, GUI is simple and easy to use, and the isometric view is great. If the Devs keep adding content I see no reason why people who struggled to get into DF won't come flocking to this.

This game is nearly perfect for its genera and to think that is is still in BETA makes me wonder just how amazing it will become.

It's Everything i ever wanted i always wanted to play dwarf fortress but you had to read ten thousand page manuals to comprehend how to play but THIS this game dumbs it down to perfection i spend hours on this game i feel its gonna have so much more depth than it does now

The game is awesome, one thing I didn't like with later releases was the introduction of what I would call "busy work." If something can be made out of wood, why would I have to craft a wood item before making it when it all could be made straight from the one raw resource. Introducing new steps into making a single item was a little tedious. Overall it's a great game.

this game is so awesome. a little easier version of DF, but it's still in alpha and keeps getting better
May 19th, 2013 0 people agree 0 people don't
As a Dwarf Fortress player years ago, I always wished that game would get a graphical overhaul. Well, as far as I'm concerned, Gnomoria is what Dwarf Fortress should have been years ago. Give this game enough time, and it will surpass Dwarf Fortress.
May 16th, 2013 0 people agree 0 people don't
Its like dwarf fortress but actually fun to play. It still lacks lategame and much content, but the sheer playability and concept is worth a 10.

Have heard from my folks that my baby sister was arrested yesterday for being involved in anti-war protests on campus! It was apparently just a peaceful banner waving protest which was bust up by over zealous red neck cops. That is all well and good (heaven knows my folks got enough experience of this with me), but she is now being threatened with deportation if she continues her "anti patriotic stance"!!! She is a green card carrying permanent resident for *&@&@^ sakes! This is not the behaviour of a "democracy" - but that of a facist police state!!!
Monday, March 17, 2003 A Letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush on the Eve of War George W. Bush 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC Dear Governor Bush: So today is what you call "the moment of truth," the day that "France and the rest of world have to show their cards on the table." I'm glad to hear that this day has finally arrived. Because, I gotta tell ya, having survived 440 days of your lying and conniving, I wasn't sure if I could take much more. So I'm glad to hear that today is Truth Day, 'cause I got a few truths I would like to share with you: 1. There is virtually NO ONE in America (talk radio nutters and Fox News aside) who is gung-ho to go to war. Trust me on this one. Walk out of the White House and on to any street in America and try to find five people who are PASSIONATE about wanting to kill Iraqis. YOU WON'T FIND THEM! Why? 'Cause NO Iraqis have ever come here and killed any of us! No Iraqi has even threatened to do that. You see, this is how we average Americans think: If a certain so-and-so is not perceived as a threat to our lives, then, believe it or not, we don't want to kill him! Funny how that works! 2. The majority of Americans -- the ones who never elected you -- are not fooled by your weapons of mass distraction. We know what the real issues are that affect our daily lives -- and none of them begin with I or end in Q. Here's what threatens us: two and a half million jobs lost since you took office, the stock market having become a cruel joke, no one knowing if their retirement funds are going to be there, gas now costs almost two dollars -- the list goes on and on. Bombing Iraq will not make any of this go away. Only you need to go away for things to improve. 3. As Bill Maher said last week, how bad do you have to suck to lose a popularity contest with Saddam Hussein? The whole world is against you, Mr. Bush. Count your fellow Americans among them. 4. The Pope has said this war is wrong, that it is a SIN. The Pope! But even worse, the Dixie Chicks have now come out against you! How bad does it have to get before you realize that you are an army of one on this war? Of course, this is a war you personally won't have to fight. Just like when you went AWOL while the poor were shipped to Vietnam in your place. 5. Of the 535 members of Congress, only ONE (Sen. Johnson of South Dakota) has an enlisted son or daughter in the armed forces! If you really want to stand up for America, please send your twin daughters over to Kuwait right now and let them don their chemical warfare suits. And let's see every member of Congress with a child of military age also sacrifice their kids for this war effort. What's that you say? You don't THINK so? Well, hey, guess what -- we don't think so either! 6. Finally, we love France. Yes, they have pulled some royal screw-ups. Yes, some of them can be pretty damn annoying. But have you forgotten we wouldn't even have this country known as America if it weren't for the French? That it was their help in the Revolutionary War that won it for us? That our greatest thinkers and founding fathers -- Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, etc. -- spent many years in Paris where they refined the concepts that lead to our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution? That it was France who gave us our Statue of Liberty, a Frenchman who built the Chevrolet, and a pair of French brothers who invented the movies? And now they are doing what only a good friend can do -- tell you the truth about yourself, straight, no b.s. Quit pissing on the French and thank them for getting it right for once. You know, you really should have traveled more (like once) before you took over. Your ignorance of the world has not only made you look stupid, it has painted you into a corner you can't get out of. Well, cheer up -- there IS good news. If you do go through with this war, more than likely it will be over soon because I'm guessing there aren't a lot of Iraqis willing to lay down their lives to protect Saddam Hussein. After you "win" the war, you will enjoy a huge bump in the popularity polls as everyone loves a winner -- and who doesn't like to see a good ass-whoopin' every now and then (especially when it 's some third world ass!). So try your best to ride this victory all the way to next year's election. Of course, that's still a long ways away, so we'll all get to have a good hardy-har-har while we watch the economy sink even further down the toilet! But, hey, who knows -- maybe you'll find Osama a few days before the election! See, start thinking like THAT! Keep hope alive! Kill Iraqis -- they got our oil!! Yours, Michael Moore

Originally posted by R Manivannan: Cindy, Just because you take that report is true just the way as it stands: You go to fight with a person and your guest says to you, "Don't fight with him. It's not good for you (us)", will you kick your guest out of your way? Ofcourse you have the right and power, but is it the right thing to do?
It was apparently just a peaceful banner waving protest which was bust up by over zealous red neck cops.
Originally posted by Cindy Glass: If he says his opinion politely, I will listen politely. When he starts staging a protest - (even a peaceful protest) in my kitchen and will ask him to get out. Well, I would probably give him one warning first. That is just about what was described.
Originally posted by Jason Menard: Umm... Michael Moore wrote that one letter. Enough said on that one, imho.
Originally posted by shay Aluko: I am actually a big fan of Rush Limbaugh, despite what some may say are his shrill rantings, he is very courageous and willing to put everything on the line and speak the truth. That is a rare commodity these days and i respect him for that

Originally posted by R Manivannan: I feel a peaceful protest is the most polite way to convey something to the government. Isn't it?
Originally posted by Cindy Glass: If the regulations state that Green Card holders can not participate in political demonstrations - then that is essentially telling the guest that his opinion is not desired.
You are a guest until you are adopted into the family. In the US that means when you become a naturalized citizen. Until then you are expected to behave as a guest.
In fact I would be very suprised if anyone hassled a person who was ONLY participating in a legal peaceful demonstration.
Originally posted by R Manivannan: I think the better equation would be, US = Home US Citizens = Family memebers Green Card holders = Adopted members. Tourists / H1-B visa holders = Guests
Originally posted by Cindy Glass: A person in my country with a Green Card is a guest in my home. Even if they are residing with me for a long time.
Originally posted by: Jason Menard That you believe anybody here is "passionate about killing Iraqis" only goes to illustrate that you neither understand Americans, nor do you understand this conflict.
Originally posted by <AmericanEagle>: I do find it strange still that Jason decided that I was mean and unfair to Map, when in fact I was not, even before Map decided if I was. This reminds me of the French deciding the wording of our second reloution was acceptable or not even before Iraq made their own decidion. Stop trying to be dictators in here, and celebrate what the military members of this forumn have faught for, your freedom to express your own ideas. AmericanEagle
Originally posted by <AmericanEagle>: I point you to the words of Paul Wheaton for guidance on what is acceptable correspondence herein. Rules for JavaRanch AmericanEagle
Originally posted by Paul Stevens ??? 1. That was not a personal attack. 2. It also came before Paul ever posted.
Originally posted by <AmericanEagle>: The following additional thread, by Paul Wheaton linked below should clarify the nature of this peronal attack. We would all do better to stick to the issues themselves, rather than the person writing about them. We'll just have a better more harmonious community if we follow Paul Wheaton's guidelines.

Originally posted by: Jason Menard While I always appreciate a good dose of sermonizing, the fact is that there was no personal attack made�.

Police forces' budgets across England and Wales have seen significant cuts recently, and according to the Home Office, UK police staff numbers have fallen to their lowest level since 2003.
The total number of full-time equivalent officers was 134,101 at the end of March 2012, a fall of 5,009 officers (3.6 per cent) compared to a year earlier.
Police forces rely heavily on IT, especially the ability to store, share and retrieve data on criminals, suspects and cases. We all know that IT equipment needs regular investment, so how concerned should we be that all forces south of the border are severely tightening their belts? Are we likely to see a critical failure of police IT systems in the near future?
A report from the Metropolitan Police Service released in March does little to assuage fears. It states that its IT is deteriorating and that the force needs to invest in new technology. According the Met, some of the technology it used to secure the recent Olympic Games was 20 years old.
Some investment is happening. A recent report by research firm TechMarketView predicted that the police will be the fastest-growing subsector within the UK public sector software and IT services market, with a compound annual growth rate of eight per cent between 2011 and 2015.
But TechMarketView director Georgina O'Toole points out that this is down to increased spending on outsourcing, rather than any major new investment in ICT equipment.
For example, Lincolnshire police force has outsourced services to G4S – despite the private security firm's well-publicised troubles securing the Games – while Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire are considering joining the Lincolnshire-G4S framework to tackle their combined £73m shortfall in police funding.

Who is Barack Obama?
Who is Barack Obama? His opponents did well to paint obscure pictures of him. One of the questions still lingering on the electorate's mind from the 2008 presidential elections has been: Is Obama a Moslem or a Christian? As the 2012 election approaches many may still be wondering if the question is settled. You can rest assured that the same question would be raised again by his opponents in 2012. May be like many you are also wondering what the true answer is. Well if you are then this is the book for you.
In this book you will not only find out the religious affiliation of Obama but you will also f...
