Libya struggles as protests slash oil revenuesComment on this story
Tripoli - Some Libyan government ministries are struggling to cover expenditures because of budget problems, a minister said on Sunday after protesters shut down another vital oilfield in the Opec producer.
In the latest sign of turmoil gripping Libya since Muammar Gaddafi's ousting in 2011, heavy shooting near the General National Congress (GNC) building interrupted a national parliament session and forced legislators to evacuate.
Militias and armed protesters seized ports and oilfields over the last seven months to press demands on the central government. Oil and gas exports are the sole source of the government budget and to fund food imports.
Oil output fell to 230,000 barrels a day on Sunday after a new protest shut down the El Sharara field, down from 1.4 million bpd in July when nationwide protests started.
Western powers fear Libya will slide into greater instability if budget problems worsen. More than half of the budget goes to public salaries and subsidies.
"The financial situation of the government is difficult," said Culture Minister Habib al-Amin, who acts as a government spokesman. "Some ministries have been unable to pay for expenditures due to a lack of budget and liquidity."
Amin warned vital government services such as health care and electricity supplies were at risk unless the GNC assembly agreed on a budget for 2014.
The government has submitted a budget draft to the GNC but did not release details. Analysts say it will be difficult to overcome a funding gap as oil revenues might halve this year compared to the typical level of around $50 billion.
The oil production situation worsened over the weekend, when state-owned National Oil Corporation (NOC) said it had been forced to close the 340 000 bpd El Sharara oilfield due to new protests.
With giving details, Habib said clashes in the area made it impossible to restart output at the field.
NOC put production at 230 000 bpd, down from 275 000 bpd a week ago. It gave no export figures but Libya needs to feed its 120 000 bpd Zawiya refinery and 20 000-bpd Tobruk refinery to meet domestic fuel demand.
The government has put pressure on tribal leaders in eastern Libya to persuade an armed group seeking greater autonomy to lift a blockade of three ports that previously handled 600 000 bpd. Talks have gone nowhere so far.
There has been no progress toward reopening Hariga port in the east.
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan has said the government will act against the oil unrest, but analysts say the army is too weak to tackle heavily armed protesters.
Violence erupted late Sunday when anti-aircraft guns were fired in the vicinity of the GNC's building, prompting evacuations.
GNC spokesman Omar Hmeidan said lawmakers had been debating two militias who threatened last week to dissolve parliament, tapping into popular frustration that Libyans are tired of a lack of progress in the country's transition toward democracy.
The United Nations helped defuse the situation, but the two militias brought fighters into the capital last week. Details about the shooting were not immediately available. - Reuters

Business Ethics for the Real World
The site Poets and Quants included the Business Ethics for the Real World MOOC (Markkula) in a story about worthwhile business MOOCs.
Posted by Nic Domek
Here's a sampling of the hundreds of mentions of SCU in the media in the past two weeks. The first part of the link is a list; the full text is below the list.


text:
I've noticed a lot of customer confusion around SP1. None of the information below is new -- anyone could piece together the same recommendations by dissecting the various READMEs, release notes, blogs, etc. -- but I think there's value in collecting it in one place. Hope this helps.
This package contains everything you need to bring a client machine up to date. It includes the fixes for all of the Visual Studio SKUs (Standard, Professional, Team Architect, etc.), the VSTS standalone clients (Load Test Agent, Controller), and the TFS client (Team Explorer).
This is a set of additional client-side fixes that addresses Vista compatibility. It targets the same set of SKUs as VS2005 SP1 above, including the TFS clients. (We only split them up so that we could deliver SP1 sooner, since it was in very high demand.) It requires SP1 to be installed first.
As of 2/22/07 it is still in beta. That should change very soon.
3/6/07: updated link to final version. It's now called "Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista."
This is a hotfix for TFS server machines that allows future installers to shutdown & restart the services. Without this hotfix, upgrading a TFS server tier while it was still running could cause database corruption.
This package contains the fixes for TFS server tiers only -- it contains no client-side fixes. You should run this same package on all of the following TFS machine types: Application Tier (AT), Data Tier (DT), combined AT/DT, Version Control Proxy, and Team Build Server. It requires the quiescing GDR.
Important note: the installers above will only update VS2005 from .42 -> .762 and TFS from .147 -> .762. Beta & RC bits will not be upgraded. A few customers have hit this already. (Admittedly, .127 and .147 are easy to confuse). If you have TFS Beta3 or TFS RC installed, upgrade to TFS RTM first. If you have the SP1 Beta installed, uninstall it first.
Note #2: these version numbers are for English builds only. Localized builds will have an additional number at the end. For instance, VS2005 RTM JPN is 50727.42.25.
Edit 4/17/07: here are the version numbers for the TfsVersionControl database schema. If you have separate app & data tiers, this may be the easiest way to find what version your data tier is.
This is apparently the most confusing piece of all. First off, let's emphasize that there are no breaking changes in the TFS client<->server protocol. RTM clients can talk to SP1 servers and vice versa. The only limitations are: (a) RTM clients cannot access the new features added in SP1, such as the QueryMergesWithDetails() API (b) all server tiers must run the same version. Thus, there are really two independent upgrade paths.
[edit] A final note: be careful when you have multiple product SKUs installed. While all products integrate seamlessly into the same VS shell, the installer treats them separately. As a result, the SP1 patch will appear to run multiple times, prompting you each time. For example, if you have VS Team Suite, Team Explorer, and DBPro installed on the same machine, you will have to hit "OK" at least 3X. This can be tricky because the 2nd dialog won't appear until Team Suite SP1 has finished, which may be an hour after you clicked "OK" the first time. It's also easy to click "Cancel" by mistake if the dialog pops up while you're working on something else. If that happens, just rerun the patch -- it should pick up where it left off.
[yet more] from Ed Psyk:
1. Do not install SP1 if you have configured your data tier as a SQL Cluster. We have a fix in progress for this issue.
2. If you have made any configuration changes (machine name changes, port changes, etc.) since the original install try running "Repair" to make sure that you don't have any issues that would cause theSP1 upgrade to fail.

It is probably the only type of advertising you will ever be thanked for! Done well, you will also gain word of mouth business and goodwill. Promotional Products can also be very successful when used as a novelty. For example, we once made up a gift bag for a client's conferences in Sydney, and one of the products inside was a yoyo. There were company directors and managers from some of Australia's largest companies having a great time trying to do all of the classic yoyo tricks, which led to fun conversations and memories for many weeks. Even the most basic, low cost products when used correctly can have create an interesting and memorable response. Another customer in the mining industry had some USB people made, and they were so popular they were treated like currency, being exchanged for favours etc, with requests for many more. It is not necessary to spend a lot of money on promotional products, as just a few post it notes or printed pens left with your customer after a sales call can be a useful and memorable way to keep your name around. Although don't always let price dictate your product choice, as it is more about your theme, company image, and goals you wish to achieve. We also have a Sydney branch for your promotional products Sydney needs, though we do have many customers for promotional products Melbourne also.
We recommended having a few different tiers of products, for example, a selection of low cost general give away items, as well as some higher quality products for special customers. Another idea is rather than discounting your products, why not offer special promotional products when your customers reach a certain spend threshold? For example, an order of $100.00 or more could qualify for a limited edition bag. This is a great incentive, as if their order is at $90.00, there is a good motivator to increase it by $10.00 to get the bag. Some of our recent popular promotional item choices are USB flash drives, wristbands and eco-friendly items. There are an ever-growing choice of environmentally friendly and recycled promotional gifts available. However, traditional choices like umbrellas, pens, keyrings, badges, drink bottles, caps and hats, stress balls, fridge magnets, travel mugs, printed calendars, stubby holders, mugs, golf accessories, sticky notes, custom t shirts, mousepads, confectionery and lanyards are always a good choice as they are popular and always well received.

A group of faculty athletic representatives from the NCAA's largest football schools recommended Wednesday a change to the association's governance structure.
The IA FAR Board of Directors, which is made up of representatives from Football Bowl Subdivision schools, submitted its proposal to the NCAA outlining recommended changes that would put FBS schools in their own division.
The proposal suggests the division would have its own board of directors made up of at least one president or chancellor from each FBS conference. Those representatives would have one vote each or the voting ...

Except as noted, reports regarding the competitive factors were requested from the Attorney General and the Summary Report by the Attorney General indicated that the transaction would not have a significant adverse effect on competition.
In each case, the FDIC determined (1) that the transaction would not result in a monopoly or further any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or to attempt to monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United States; and (2) that the transaction would not have the effect in any section of the country to substantially lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly or in any other manner restrain trade, unless the anticompetitive effects of the transaction were clearly outweighed in the public interest by the probable effect of transaction in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served.

Who we are
We are all volunteers, who work hard to help whatever animals we can.
We reach out to animals who are surrendered by their current families, homeless, abused and/or neglected in London and surrounding areas.
While in the care of Animal Love, the animals receive food, medical care, safety and a loving foster home until a "forever home" is found.
We do not have a shelter, so all of our cats and dogs are housed in wonderful foster homes until they are adopted.
Gabriel's Story
Gabriel is a Standardbred who during his training as a young colt, sustained a serious injury to his left stifle. This caused him to be forcibly retired from harness racing. His owners decided to place him with Animal Love Foundation in March of 2001.
With the help and advice of a veterinarian, we were able to meet his needs to the best of our ability. He was put on a maintenance NSAID, as well as Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM and Hyoloronic Acid. He also benefits from Acupuncture treatments approximately every 2-3 months, and chiropractic adjustments every 3-4 months. Although he experiences mild to moderate pain frequently, he is very stoic and able to withstand it.
He currently lives with a friendly goat named 'Casey'. Although it is heart wrenching that he suffered such a painful life-long injury at such a tender age, we are thankful that they cared enough about him to place him in our care. He is happy, and we are lucky to have been able to help such a magnificent animal.

West Seattle Crime Watch: Court followups; reader reportsMarch 12, 2012 at 10:41 pm | In Crime, West Seattle news | 3 Comments
Tonight's West Seattle Crime Watch roundup starts with two court notes:
COURT-CASE UPDATES: No definite date yet for the start of Duane Starkenburg's imminent trial on indecent-liberties charges for the 2010-2011 Lincoln Park attacks – the prosecutor's still busy finishing another trial. We'll keep you updated. … Meantime, the trial date for Angelo Felice, charged with murdering vaudeville entertainer Hokum W. Jeebs in Fauntleroy last year, has been pushed back five months to September, the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office tells WSB, as the result of a hearing last week.
READER REPORTS: A theft report from VCA:
Thought I would let people know that there are probably metal/copper thieves combing the alleys etc. near Alki. I just had two large copper pots (planters) stolen this morning. One was on my porch right next to my door which is on the alley side. I was only gone for 1 hour, and one of my cars was parked in alley, with my blinds open! Checked in with one of my neighbors across the alley and she did not see anything.
More reader reports ahead:
From DS in High Point, a case of apparent casing – three teenage boys seen on a neighbor's porch yesterday afternoon in the 2900 block of SW Raymond, "looking inside and trying to open windows." DS believes one was acting as a lookout, because he started whistling when realizing they had been seen. He describes the suspected "lookout" as black, 5'7″, 150 pounds, maybe 17, and the other two as black, tall and thin, 5'10″ and 120 pounds, short black hair, mid- to late-teens:
I went the other way around the block and confronted them about their actions when I caught up to them. They all acted very nervous and claimed to be asking for money to buy jerseys for their team but refused to say what team, which high school they went to or provide their names.
I simply said "I'm calling the police" and they immediately ran off in different directions. I spotted the group later around 5 PM outside the High Point Community Center with hooded sweatshirts they weren't wearing earlier.
Also: Andy reported a hit-run Sunday morning in the 3400 block of 40th SW, where "a brownish gold Toyota Prius just smashed our car parked on the street in front of our house. It ripped the driver's side mirror off. They just zoomed off down the street before we could get their license plate number." Andy thinks the culprit vehicle would have "a mark of black from our mirror on the side of their car."
One more note: Two cases of egging vandalism were reported in the Admiral area overnight Saturday into Sunday – Walnut and Forest, and 40th and Hinds.
P.S. The West Seattle Crime Prevention Council's next meeting is one week from tomorrow – Tuesday, March 20th, 7 pm, Southwest Precinct (Delridge/Webster).

I think it's time for SPD to start cracking down on the metal recyclers. Grant County Sheriff cracked down, threatening to shut down local recyclers if they did not comply with all paperwork of people bringing in wire, etc. http://www.co.grant.wa.us/sheriff/HTM/metal-theft.htm
Here's what our local recyclers are supposed to be collecting when somebody brings in metal, http://www.co.grant.wa.us/sheriff/Misc_Files/PDF/Metal-Theft-Recycler-Booklet.pdf

I used to not answer my door when some one uninvited knocked now I am worried that if I don't respond real quick There is a chance it could be some body breaking in the house. Keep an eye out folks.
Comment by Cindertang — 12:42 pm March 13, 2012 #
I have my digital camera conveniently located, so if someone trespasses at my door or gates, I will take their photo. Call the cops and press charges. I am fed up with the addicts screwing up my job and inconveniencing us at every turn. I would like more money and time at work so that I can bonus the crew as much as we used to, before getting ripped off every damn day.
Everyone at work has been so helpful and these rats keep ripping off the profit.

Abby Martin interviews Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Chris Hedges, about activism and journalism, Obama's presidency, the death of the liberal class and the erosion of civil liberties.
Abby Martin interviews Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Chris Hedges, about activism and journalism, Obama's presidency, the death of the liberal class and the erosion of civil liberties.
For serious revolt we need an Andrew Jackson to lead the battle.
Warning: The following link is only to be read by those dedicated to a world where the "Have Not"s kick the living shit out of the "Have More"s.
Sample Quote:"What made me maddest was that in a bloodthirsty way, the Battle of New Orleans was as close as early America got to real populism, real democracy and equality. We were the most mongrel army since Darius: blacks and whites, Anglos, French and Spanish, Pirates, clerks, and Tennessee backwoodsmen all fighting together behind the cotton bales. It went bad later, sure. That's what history does, go bad. But for that one day, the goofy fantasy that they feed you in those Pirates of the Caribbean movies—all the misfits fighting together against the Empire—was real. And victorious. It was Andy Jackson who made that happen."
I'm sorry when you say 'Andrew Jackson', I hear 'Trail of Tears'.
Yea, I know. It's a luxury of the soft comfy world we live in to look back on history and judge who was "good" and "bad". We get to say the Indians were "good" now that they're gone and we're safe..
If you look back on history you find plenty of Jackson's contemporaries who vocally expressed their disdain for the Indian Removal Acts. No luxury of hindsight is needed to make that such comparisons. It was largely his betrayel of the cherokee who had fought with jackson in order to make the way 'safe' for further settlement and to secure their own land under treaty that fit the standard of duplicity that set the stage for america's future treatment of all natives.
Yes, there was a dispute over what was the right decision regarding the Cherokee. But let's not kid ourselves that most of those who opposed Jackson did so out of some genuine concern for the Cherokee people rather than pure political posturing; the same phony moral posturing that goes on all the time today.
But in modern terms it often gets framed that Jackson was some kind of monster for doing what he did. In reality, his decision -right or wrong, good or bad- was that moving them would prevent greater bloodshed down the line.
I'm not defending the rightness or goodness of what he did on that issue, I'm just saying the reality of the Yankee vs Indian saga is a lot less black and white and a lot more gray than most people would like to believe.
When Jackson 'removed' the cherokee they were a constitutional republic that had regularly fought for their rights in the us congress & Supreme court.
I have scant belief in 'black & white' intepretation of any issue much less this one. History has not judged these acts kindly.
Hedges is a lost, disillusioned soul mired in his own ideological swamp of liberalism. 'It's over; they've won.'? Really? With only one mention of a bank (Goldman Sachs) and no allusions made to the quickly-eroding supra-social system of control–fiat currency–his analysis is antiquated. It's stuck in a quasi-marxist, false intellectualism where he understands the pulse of the nation better than its own inhabitants.
Didn't he 'nail it' by saying that those that are trying to defend the Second Amendment are 'mostly white males who dwell in a gun culture'??? Those Americans that hope to defend against government tyranny with their own guns are fooling themselves? Just wait until a SEAL Team shows up on their doorstep? Seriously? This is the same man that tried to demonize the black bloc in OWS because they were 'violent'.
If he were to pin point the massive fraud through fiat currency being perpetrated on the public from square one, thanks to the state system, he might be of some use to stirring sentiment for the coming revolt. Marxist/PC Liberal pseudo divisions will quickly erode when the nature of the omnipresent tool of the oppressor–money–is illuminated bright and clear for all to see. I guess we'll have to wait for the crash of the dollar until the public readies the guillotines for our 'leaders'. I hate waiting this long.
Jesus Christ. Another Gun Nut heard from.
Hedges is the most eloquent and informed person of integrity in the public sphere. Your ad hominems not with standing (quite literally), it seems your only objection is his (correct) assertion that white men like guns because they fear losing privilege as a class. Identify much?
This is a man who is actively engaged in a lawsuit challenging the federal government's indefinite detention of American citizens using the military. It will likely go to the Supreme Court. They might just rule in his (our) favor. They will name the case after him in history text books.
Do you even know what kind of reporting he has done on the incestuous relationship banks have with government? It was a short interview. Sorry he didn't talk about your (dog whistle) issue.
You've pegged me all wrong, Abby. Actually, I'm quite familiar with his work. His first two books _What every person should know about war_ and then _war is a force that gives us meaning_ inspired me to get into activism and continue my studies to understand war. I have great respect for his war reporting, and I can identify with his moral drive to bring the suffering of others into the public gaze; but, I've learned to temper my respect for people–to compartmentalize it–because people who often take moral stances based on ideology, take them all the fucking way. His ideology is liberalism, hence his lawsuit against Obama over the NDAA. Of course, I agree that indefinite detention is heinous, but I cannot agree with the principle that our rights should have to be 'won' back through the very institution that took them away to begin with–the state. As bat-shit-crazy as this may sound, I feel that's counterproductive.
Liberalism is the ideology that encourages this disconnect between thinking and practice. Liberalism tells us we need to work with our oppressors to right the wrongs they have imposed on us from the beginning. It's the ultimate political tool to divert attention away from the effective leverage points to gain systemic change (through the medium of economic exchange–the money system–but that's beyond the scope of this reply). This indellibly taints revolutionary practice. In fact, it works against it, but in the most unsuspecting ways–one thinks they are doing good, when actually they are convincing others through their actions that their way is the best way. Diversity is a greater force, however, whether it be biodiversity in nature, or diversity in thought and praxis on the streets, farms and factories. Hedges doesn't seem to agree with the tactics of anarchists as he wrote in his piece 'The Cancer in Occupy'. He may have meant well, as Graeber acknowledged in his open letter in response, but in practice it becomes divisive and harmful as the movement begins to turn against itself, as Graeber pointed out.
I encourage you to read more on anarchism. Anarchism is to liberalism what Gandalf is to Saruman. Anarchism embraces a diversity of tactics, encourages the individual to act for themselves, recognizes the autonomy of the individual under any conditions and challenges the ideology of authority in every nook and cranny of our daily lives. It's the daily challenges to authority that matter most, because they add up to more than grand court cases or symbolic confrontations with violent oppressors. The famous addage 'be the change…' is literally true. If one wants oppression to end, it begins with a heaping dose of introspection. This may seem quaint in comparison to the problems of the world, but it's the only way forward; because acknowledging the inviolability of individual autonomy (what a liberal might obsequiously call 'rights') implies that it is inviolable in any time and at any place–it need only be actualized.
As for me identifying with the gun culture, or being 'another gun nut'; yes, I am white, and yes, I am a male; but I don't own a gun. I don't have a license to own one, and I've only ever fired a gun once. But I recognize the ideology of tyranny clearly; it is becoming silently entrenched among us as we legitimize its various incarnations in the courts, parliaments, and bureaucratic offices (armed and unarmed). When rhetoric has been exhausted–which is to say, when someone who suffers from this ideology of tyranny acts it out despite my best arguments to convince him or her otherwise–firearms seem to me to be the final defense. I hope they remain a potent deterrent to allow the great social discoupling from ideological tyranny to take place peacefully.
I'm not Abby, flattered though.
I've read enough anarchist 'literature' to be extraordinarily tired of its ostentatious verbosity. I'm sure you and your "cadre's" praxis are totally more subversive than Mr. Hedges'. It sounds like you take umbrage at his position on the so called 'black block'. I have news for you. Starting fires in dumpsters and throwing garbage cans through bank windows amidst a group of peaceful protesters doesn't get the revolution going. It's adolescent and such actions only highlight the lifestylism of said actors. See, tactics only make sense in the context of a strategy. When your guys do the same thing as agent provocateurs, then maybe you should look at where those actions take all of us. These violent hippies get together and crash somebody else's party. It's never an effective action. Just a bunch of children, justifying the police crack down. For shame.
You'll get no argument from me that the government is illegitimate, corrupt, dangerous, deceitful and vindictive. Ditto for the economic system which spawned it. Nor shall I deny that the majority of the law is written by the powerful and is designed as a tool to oppress the common person. However, there are times when power is constrained by the Law. And those who would resist power would do well to pursue such leverage points. What hope we have, and Mr. Hedges sees this clearly, what little remains of this hope of maintaining a relatively free society without MASSIVE bloodshed, depends on maintaining key aspects of the Law. You talked about a diversity of tactics. We need him. His voice is important and to slander him is to do disservice to a larger movement.
I recommend you read some feminist literature. Peace.
Well, I don't think it's normal for me to feel like I've been violently puked on every time you write a comment to me. Your prose reminds me of the snooty grad students I went to skool with; trendy hipsters who hang out in avant garde bars debating the different skools of thought in their given field of study, lamenting the poverty of culture and society while sipping on their $9 microbrew pints. A strange picture of cognitive dissonance–entertaining ideas of political grandeur and revolt while miring themselves in debt to institutions they would later leave skool to go happily work for. Silly me for being half cordial in my reply to you. You'll learn what my mad ravings are about one day, my friend. Good luck.
I'm sorry my comments invoked those feelings for you. I'll try to be more considerate in the future. For what it's worth, I suspect we have a lot more in common than my tone may have implied. I'll be paying attention, maybe I will understand. Good luck.
Did you read Hedges' thoroughly asinine,
ill-informed [informed] {read} co-opted, slanted & politically hedged piece on the black bloc? In short a work of disinformation.
Absolutely I did. My interpretation wasn't so conspiratorial. I remember taking issue with a few points, which I can't recall. Such was the voracity of my disagreement, that I wouldn't remember. What I do remember was in reading anarchist zines and infoshops and such at the time, how their response to criticism of their "tactics" drove me away from their "philosophy." I think that what Mr. Hedge's criticized and the anarchist community's response to his writing are both founded in is a failure of alternative culture members to self examine. Perhaps this helps explain the abject failure of anarchism to gain any traction in society. To describe their guiding ideas as directionless would be shortsighted. A hose under pressure goes all sorts of directions.
May I suggest you steer clear of zines and other infoshop literature until you have acquired the basics? Try starting with Kropotkin's Anarchism, Its Philosophy and Ideal. After you've read it carefully and with an open mind, I doubt that you will still have the same thoughts on anarchism that you do now. http://www.panarchy.org/kropotkin/1896.eng.html
Side issues and there are many ought not to be condemned as the problem. The administrations in all our countries are over reaching their ability to resolve our concern, that in my view, is security of self. Pardon me for saying this but it is clear that there are those of great influence that will not stand by while we live a peaceful non confrontational existence.
Deal with it.
By projecting our fears on every mirror in the world we get distracted from a simple fact. Power is by it's nature parasitic. Dissolution of power to the Sovereign citizen/individual is our only salvation.
That statement declares a process will be necessary which will mean fracturing every monolith that's been created.
A thought-provoker from Zero Hedge: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-01-10/guest-post-where-does-hatred-constitutionalism-come
…and another Gun Nut…
Activist journalism should just relate to where you focus your journalistic abilities. What you right should still be truthful and expressed in neutral language.
Not that it ever should obstruct the journalist from 'opinion' pieces where the journalist uses more personal and aggressive language to express the opinions and emotions without losing control.
The two different styles of expression should be used to clearly differentiate from factual and opinion pieces.
Activism in this case just means ignoring news the journalist has no interest in of that the journalist considers to be of now value ie who kicked the last goal in what ever sport or how they did it, who got what ever pseudo celebrity pregnant and how they did it, which pseudo celebrity child pooped and how they did it or what ever latest piece of corporate propaganda advertising.
The most activist journalistic activity should always be the pursuit of the buried truth.
Killing Your STRAWMAN – The Path To Freedom
There needs to be precision in your thinking. You must realize what has been done to you by way of legislation and statutes (taxes on the other side of that coin), then you can release yourself from those tools of taxation.
You are sovereign. The legal society isn't your society, You don't belong to the political Institutions. You are a Sovereign individual. Taste the freedom it gives you, see this society for what it is and then you will know the gravity of your situation. You can then set yourself free from them and the fear they impose on you.

The idea that those concerned for the 2nd Amendment do not care about all the other rights being infringed upon is absolute bulls**t. I'm always suspicious of those that are ready to quote annual casualties from firearms while ignoring casualties prevented through the use of firearms. Has to do with intellectual honesty.
Godfuckin'dammit… Disqus is eating my comments.
The idea that peaceful revolution is the only appropriate method for change is defeatist bullshit. Trying to work within an increasingly corrupt and power hungry system keeps the average citizen at least two steps behind. What hope does the average citizen have when they have to continually fight to win back their rights through litigation, when time and money are two valuable resources they can't afford to spend on anything but necessities?
Why is it immoral to demand real change now? Why should we accept their terms and their conditions? We don't owe them anything. We are not indebted to our antecedents, we just had the misfortune of being born in their wake.
Today's Orwellian infomercial is brought to you by the "honorable" mayor of New Jersey, oh, and so there is no confusion, by honorable, I mean treasonous. But hey he is...

A Southern Affair
Spread out over 60 acres, the fair operates like a self-contained city for one week each year, complete with a post office and more than 600 neon-colored wooden cabins arranged into neighborhoods with names such as Happy Hollow, Founders' Square, and Sunset Strip. Each July, at one end of Happy Hollow, I set up camp in my family's cabin, on a bottom bunk, surrounded by 30 of my nearest (and mostly dearest) friends and family. All in one room. (Cue the "John Boy" jokes.)
Southern literary icon Willie Morris called it a "combination camp meeting, picnic, recital, amusement park, music jamboree, race track, and political rally...[with] no institution quite like it in America." It's not that Willie was wrong, but the 120-year-old campground fair, the oldest one in the United States, embodies so much more than that.

Have you ever been fascinated by a tiny object or a dollhouse?
October is National Miniature month. The Northwest Miniature Show will be Oct 4 and 5, 2008 at the Portland Kliever Memorial Armory located at 10000 NE 33rd Dr., Portland. Sheri O'Brien, along with Forty-five other venders will be selling miniature in all scales some hand made and one of a kind and others my know manufactures.
Ms O'Brien owns the only miniature store in the greater Portland area, Hand Crafted For You, located at 616 Main St in Oregon City. She was selling handicrafts by local crafters when she started selling miniatures about 4 years ago. Local forth grade students and their parents were looking for miniature flour sacks, barrels and guns for class projects studying The Oregon Trial. Ms O'Brien has developed a strong interest in Oregon History herself and has found many items for the covered wagon projects making sure that they are date appropriate for the school projects.
Sheri O'Brien Owner of Hand Crafted For You is preparing for Oregon's 150th birthday by working on a miniature one room cabin to represent a museum from the 1860's. This will be displayed at the Northwest Miniature Show on Oct 4th and 5th. All the exhibits in this little museum are 1" scale. Most miniatures are scaled 1"=1' which is called "one inch scale" and means that one inch in your hand equals 1 foot in the dollhouse world. Other scales are ½" and ¼" or 1/2"=1' and ¼"=1" respectfully.

Hi Running Mamas,
I do not have too much to brag about this week other than getting home after a conference whirlwind and getting back into shape after a nearly 2-week hiatus.
Went for a 30-mile bike ride on Saturday and clearly my legs have lost their edge, so I will need to squeeze in "during the week" rides in order to be ready for a century Oct. 20.
Went for a 5-mile run/hike with my hubby yesterday. Not serious running, but it felt great to get out!
Hope y'all had a wonderful week!

For the first time, Cincinnati can hire a police chief from anywhere - the best available, not just the best here.
Until now, every chief in the department's 207-year history has come from within the ranks.
Voters gave the city the power to hire fire and police chiefs from the outside in 2001, when they approved Issue 5, a measure put on the ballot in the wake of the riots that spring - prompted by the death of an unarmed African-American man who ran from police and was shot by an officer.
The police chief job may be the most important in Cincinnati. Nothing dogs the city more than the perception that it is unsafe - even though data show that crime is falling.
In addition, the new chief could be taking over a department that, for budget reasons, may shrink or lose its patrol functions to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
The Enquirer interviewed more than a dozen people, including crime victims, elected officials, police officers and neighborhood activists, to see what Cincinnati wants and needs in the next chief.
They want: Someone selected through an honest and public process who makes them be safe and feel safe. Someone who fully gets what Cincinnati has endured in the past decade in terms of the department's relationship with African-Americans.
Some want a woman.
Some want a chief who can protect the police from politics.
For the man doing the hiring, connection with the community seems to be key. At the top of a four-page ad for the job posted last week, City Manager Milton Dohoney said he is seeking a community-oriented law enforcement leader with a legacy of integrity.
Most people interviewed - including outgoing Chief Tom Streicher - don't have a preference on whether the new chief is an insider or outsider. They do want the new chief not only to embrace the gains the department has made in police-community relations, but also to push for more.
"I want zero tolerance (toward crime)," said Betty Hull, who led the campaign for Issue 5, the 2001 amendment that allows the outside hiring. "That might be totally unrealistic, but that's what I want the police chief to come in and say. That's what I want them to prioritize and I want it for every neighborhood, every street, every block. It has to apply to the entire city."
The process is key, too, Hull said - all people have to feel included both to make a good decision and to give the incoming chief a mandate. She took part in one of Dohoney's community meetings last fall where he sought input. He also took suggestions in an online survey.
A sensitive position
The community outreach is being done because the manager understands that the police chief position is a most sensitive one, said Meg Olberding, Dohoney's spokeswoman. He also convened a committee to help him review applications for the new fire chief.
Dohoney declined to talk about the police chief search or search committee.
"He's certainly aware that the community interest in the police chief will be very high," she said. "Some of it is community-building. And part of it is just his belief that different perspectives are good."
Christopher Smitherman, president of the Cincinnati branch of the NAACP, wants a female chief - women finesse things more than men, he says, and communicate differently - and he thinks an outsider would be best, though he is open to internal candidates.
He thinks a gender switch at the top would help continue the culture changes he credits Streicher with making via the Collaborative Agreement, the deal the city struck to settle a class-action lawsuit after the riots. Police-community relations are better now than they ever have been, he says.
Smitherman uses something Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said in 2008 as an example: "We won't have a police chief who compares Over-the-Rhine to Jurassic Park. There's a language, there's a way you conduct yourself. There's a way you speak to people. It's being conscious of people's feelings, all people's feelings."
Margie Weller, a member of the Price Hill Civic Association and the neighborhood's Citizens on Patrol, also would like to see a female police chief. She's one of few interviewed who specifically wants an insider.
"We don't have time for people to come in and relearn everything," she said.
Al Gerhardstein, a civil rights attorney who helped negotiate the Collaborative Agreement and is a member of a standing committee that advises Dohoney on police matters, says the city needs a chief who understands the importance of being accountable to the public. Many of the reforms made by the department in the last decade, he said, have had a big impact on the community, including the use of teams of officers trained to handle calls involving people with mental health problems.
"We need a chief who continues to lead," he said, "and doesn't just treat everyone as a criminal who needs to be locked up."
Staff reorganization?
The advertisement for the position seeks someone with at least a decade of experience as a captain or assistant chief in an urban area of at least 100,000 people. The initial application deadline is Feb. 18.
The advertisement doesn't mention the possibility that patrol officers could go to work for Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis, an idea City Council ordered Dohoney to pursue as a way to save money because Leis pays his deputies about 20 percent less than Cincinnati officers earn. Whether the merger goes any further isn't clear - Mayor Mark Mallory issued probably his most strongly worded statement of his tenure against the idea. It takes six council members to override a mayoral veto.
Streicher, 57, leaves a department of 1,057 officers, a number that has grown over the last decade even as the city's population declined. The chief didn't request more officers, but City Council wanted them to increase safety and the perception of safety.
Those newest officers could have lost their jobs last month as council, struggling to cut big deficits the past two years, considered significant layoffs. The last recruit class graduated in December 2008. Because the budget, though it filled this year's $54 million deficit, isn't structurally balanced, some say layoffs this year remain a possibility.
A different time
Streicher, whose father was on the force, got the chief's job in 1999 in part because he scored highest on a test. Now, Issue 5 allows chiefs and assistant chiefs of the police and fire departments, as well as some other city officials, to be hired from the outside. It did that by removing them from the civil service system.
The amendment - a way to change the culture of the police department - was pushed at a much different time, with the U.S. Department of Justice investigating for a year the department's use of force, the Cincinnati Black United Front organizing a Downtown boycott. Many of those then-strong voices are quiet now.
Since the amendment's passage, national searches for assistant police chiefs resulted in inside hires but the new fire chief, Richard Braun, was brought in after he retired in Columbus.
A citizens committee also reviewed fire chief applications and made recommendations to Dohoney.
Officer Keith Fangman, who patrols Avondale on second shift, doesn't object to having a boss from elsewhere. He points to Cleveland to show why he doesn't think the job should be beholden to politics: there, where the mayor appoints the chief, only two chiefs since 1968 stayed longer than four years.
Cincinnati's chief will be chosen by Dohoney and can be fired by Dohoney with no civil-service rights to appeal.
"The challenge for whoever becomes chief will be to prevent daily political interference from City Hall," said Fangman, who was president of the Fraternal Order of Police at the time of Issue 5's passage.
"But having to satisfy the city manager, strong mayor and nine members of council on a daily basis to simply prevent getting yourself fired seems like a miserable existence."
Crime challenges
Violent and serious crime in Cincinnati has declining since 2005.
But the chief search began during a week that saw some high-profile crimes, including a shooting Tuesday at Tucker's, the Over-the-Rhine restaurant known for welcoming everyone since it opened in 1946. Police said the shooters were targeting someone in the restaurant, but they instead hit co-owner Carla Tucker in the hand and critically hurt a customer.
Alex Shebar, 25, a local blogger for Yelp.com and a former Enquirer reporter who lives in Over-the-Rhine, was hit in the face as he walked in the neighborhood Monday night.
Kids took his cell phone, which he helped get back by tracking the phone with GPS software on his computer.
He praised the officers who responded and caught the kids.
But as a resident who attends neighborhood crime watch group meetings, he thinks the department could still do more to reach out to the community and show that officers do want input, including through social media.
"I think people are willing to help," he said.
"But I go to these meetings and I never really felt encouraged or never really feel like I learn much. I think people want more information."
Streicher's last day is March 6. He picked that date because it'll be the last day of his 12th year as chief. The older officers on the force always told him, he said, that he would know when it was time to go.
That time is now - in large part, he admits, because of the state's deferred retirement program, in which he has invested for eight years, the maximum.
Staying in the job longer would reduce his retirement and benefits payout, estimated to be worth more than $1 million. His base pay last year was more than $127,000.
The job's being advertised with a salary of $101,000 to $135,000.
Streicher said his replacement will have to learn the hard way, as he did, how much weight the chief's words carry and that a chief has to keep in mind a lot of factors - the interests of the business community, politics at City Hall and how any decision could impact every part of town.
"It's quite a learning experience," he said.
"And boy, when you make a mistake, it's everywhere."

There are rumors swirling over ABC Family picking up The Secret Circle. Would you be in favor of this move?
Would you watch The Secret Circle on ABC Family?
renew the secret circle – we want season 2
Please bring back The Secret Circle, we need to watch the second season, not to mention that there is a common series is a series that has been like watching leaves us happy and enthusiastic, please is all my heart that I ask for bring back ..
it's hard to believe that SECRET CIRCLE got and is still cancelled when it still has fans until this day, posting, begging for SC to come back and I must say it's way more entertaining than the Beauty and the Beast. Arrow is a good though. So, please bring back Secret Cirle or heck go more by the books with a different take on it.
please show it.i love the secret circle.
bring. it. back.
'tis a warning.
Help ABC please bring back Secret Circle. Absolutely loved it and sad it was cancelled. I promise you wont regret it and will make all of us soooo happy.
plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz some pick it up we want to watch secret circle shows plzzzzzzzzzz someone pic it up so we can watch seasons of the secret circle there are many fans of the secret circle and it will gain more profit
I want my Secret Circle back!!!!Please show that
ABC family should take on the secret circle i started watcing it on netflix and i was hooked by the first episode i LOVE this show i wish there was more like it but they keep getting cancled please bring this show back
I want my Secret Circle back!!!! My mom and I always watched it, we NEVER missed an episode! As a matter of fact, we would miss another show we liked if it came on at the same time as The Secret Circle!!! We always watched the vampire diaries, then secret circle, and we dont want to watch Beauty and the beast, or Arrow!! Those are not even original concepts. At least the secret circle was a bit different with the coven of teen witches, and it was just getting good and had us holding our breath to see what was next for Cassie and the group!! ABC is missing out on a huge audience base if they don't pick this show up. I hope they do so bad, and I hope the CW has to eat crow big time for cancelling it in the first place!!! Help ABC!! I want my show back!!!

To celebrate the 6th year of the Unkut Dot Com, I put together a mixtape called Counter Strike to give a little something back to everyone that has stuck with the site. Featuring exclusive tracks and a few slept-on cuts from some of the best street-level MC's out there right now, the tape is dropping as a free download this Friday (26 February), thanks to the good people over at Ironlak. But this isn't just some old compilation bullshit – this is an official tape, hosted and mixed by one of the best in the game. More details to follow…
Here's a sample of the kind of material we've got in store for you:

Let's celebrate the summer time! In this css tutorial we discuss one more fancy hover effect. We use :after pseudo-elements with custom data-attributes and css transitions. At the same time we feature the beautiful Summer Icon Pack by vector4free. Enjoy!
All posts tagged tutorial
Css-only Alternative to the Select Element
In this tutorial, I will present you my alternative solution to the select form tag. It's css-only and it looks really nice. We will use a list of radio elements, styled as a drop-down list, that will look and behave similarly to the select element.
Diagonal Thumbnails Gallery
We got used to standard grids and clear horizontal and vertical axes. No wonder that the eye-catching layouts based on the diagonal lines have become one of the recent trends in web design. In this tutorial we will create a very simple diagonal thumbnails gallery. We will use css3 2D-transforms and pseudo elements to display the diamond-shaped elements with a background image.
Merry Scrolling with skrollr.js
How to Create a Responsive CSS-only Slider
Contact form with some fancy 3D effects
In this tutorial we will use css3 3D transforms to create a contact form that mimic a regular letter. You'll have to flip the envelope, note your (sender's) coordinates on its back lid, open the envelope, unfold the paper and write your message. We'll also make use of the :target pseudo-class so that no javascript is necessary.
Create a vector intertwining knitting pattern – illustrator tutorial
In this tutorial we will create a simple elegant intertwining pattern. We'll make it as a repetitive seamless pattern and save it as a pattern swatch in Illustrator.

When falling honey prices began stinging his family�s beekeeping business in 1998, Bill Martin tapped his home-brewing skills to produce mead. Three years later, Martin released a series of fruit wines under his just-launched Montezuma Winery label and settled into a 14,000-square-foot production facility and tasting room in Seneca Falls.
Mead and fruit wines such as Cranberry Bog remain central to the Cayuga Lake winery�s output, though Riesling and Seyval Blanc are produced. The winery�s sister operation, Hidden Marsh Distillery, opened in 2008 and produces Bee Vodka, a highly praised triple-distilled spirit made from Finger Lakes honey.
Tasting room hours: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, year-round. Tasting bar closes at 5:45 p.m. Reservations required for groups of 12 or more.
Accessibility: Fully accessible.
Wine tasting fee: $2 for six samples. $4 for six samples and the wineglass.
Spirits tasting fee: $1 per sample or $5 for one sample and the brandy snifter. State law limits spirits sampling to three quarter-ounce servings per person, per day.
Amenities: Farmers market 3 to 7 p.m. Fridays from mid-June to early September; live music starts at 5 p.m. Satellite tasting room at 3050 State Route 28 in Old Forge, Herkimer County.
Charity causes: Various events and products support conservation projects at nearby Montezuma Wetlands Complex.

1. Who will oversee the AABC team coaches?The Executive Directors (Coach Doll and Coach Holley) will oversee the club coaches. In addition, they will provide mentoring and development opportunities for all coaches
2. Will kids be allowed to take competitive level jumps, i.e. 4th playing with 6th?There will be an evaluation period within each grade level. Kids will be assigned to teams within their grade level. This is dependent on the numbers of participants in the program. As a rule, individuals won't be moved up a grade level but from time to time a team may move up a level of competition.
3. Do you have coach resources available if we want to find a coach for our team?The AABC will continue to generate a list of interested and available coaches in the area, including parents, alumni, and other interested parties.
4. Who will decide what tournaments the athletes play in? Limits?
The AABC will determine the 2-3 tournaments that the program will offer. Individual teams are welcome to participate in additional tournaments if they wish. Please note, additional tournaments (beyond the original 3) are not included in the registration fees and will be the responsibility of each team.
5. Will there be practice schedules? How soon will we be informed of practice time changes?
Practice schedules will be set, based on gym availability. There is not a set schedule at this time. The AABC will notify parents of schedule changes as far in advance as is humanly possible. However, due to the facility schedules and inclement weather, practice schedules may change with limited notice.
6. During tournament weekends, how many practices can there be?The AABC is recommending only one practice during the week when tournaments occur on the weekend. Additional practice may be dependent on the availability of gym space.
7. Will team coaches have a say in practice times?The team coaches will have opportunity to request practice times. There may be limitations dependent on the availability of gym space.
8. Can the athletes play for other competitive teams? Are there rules for conflicting commitments and schedules?The purpose of the AABC is to allow for young athletes to develop basketball skills and still participate in other sports opportunities. At this time, there are no policies in place for tournament conflicts, however, appropriate notice is recommended and appreciated.
9. Will they play in state tournaments?This has not been determined at this time. A full schedule will be provided once the teams are established.
10. How many teams will there be?This will be determined by the number of interested athletes. We will create teams as the need is established.
11. How many players will there be on a team?This will be determined by the number of interested athletes in each grade level, hoping to maximize playing time and practice time, teams will be kept relatively small.
12. What is the Cost to Play? Yes, it costs to join AAU Club team. The fee includes conditioning, practice time, AAU membership, 3-4 tournament entry fees, 2 game uni's, 1 practice set and other gear will be discussed.
13. Can kids play up a level?
Grade level teams will be kept together. Depending on the numbers in club and skill evaluation, they will be placed on teams. There will be no individual play ups, unless numbers dictate a unique situation. Teams desiring a higher level of competition may play up a division in tournaments from time to time.
14. Can team coaches decide which tournaments to play?
They will have input, however, the Executive Directors (Coach Dolland Coach Holley), and program director will decide which tournaments are appropriate and included in the registration fees. They will work closely with the club coaches to determine additional tournament opportunities.
15. Is the AABC only for Maricopa kids? Are there limits to location?
Any students in Arizona are eligible to participate for the AABC.
16. How does my daughter make a AABC team?
Register and come to the tryouts. AABC has open tryouts starting in March and each player has a chance to make one of the teams. No player is guaranteed a spot on a team. She is encouraged to make all the tryouts so that the coaches can evaluate her fairly. THE MORE TRYOUTS THE PLAYER ATTENDS THE MORE 'LOOKS' FROM THE COACHES SHE GETS!
17. How is the age group determined?

Jeremy, our COSI web master, feels that Thursday should have been a national day of mourning with the passing of Steve Jobs---I agree. But maybe for a different reason.
As I've noted in my blog before, I "grew up" professionally with Apple Computer, serving in various consultant capacities for and with Apple Computer. I have a great affinity for the company and the genius of the two Steve's who founded it—Wozniak and Jobs. So even though it was clear that this day would be coming sooner than we wanted, having Steve Jobs pass away is something I'm feeling very personally.

Ben Ellison to Lead PBR Power Boat Fleet!
Ben Ellison has signed up as the Power Boat Fleet Guide for the 2012 Penobscot Bay Rendezvous August 16-19, and will be the go-to-guy for the weekend's powerboat owners and guests while accompanying the fleet aboard his Duffy 37 Gizmo. Ben has sailed and motored the coast of Maine for forty years, often as a navigation instructor or as a photo journalist. He taught at Hurricane Outward Bound School, the Artisan College, and at the WoodenBoat School, which he also directed. His cruising column "Gunkholing with Gizmo" (available online here) has run in Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors since 1999, and he's been a regular contributor to national magazines like Yachting and Cruising World. In recent years Ben has specialized in testing and writing about marine electronics and is the editor/owner of Panbo.com, the award-winning blog on that complicated subject. Thus one distinction of Gizmo is four different radar systems as well as side and forward looking sonar great for exploring! Ben is excited about sharing the Penobscot Bay he loves with fellow boaters and is designing some Photo Pursuit courses that will hopefully be inspiring and fun. What is a Photo Pursuit you ask?
