I just finished making this sauce! So far it looks really good. My nine year old son enjoyed helping me. Instead of the veggies listed, I used mushrooms. Can't wait to try it!
This sauce was very tasty. I left out the celery and the cinnamon. Celery because I didn't have any and the cinnamon seemed a bit strange to me. In the end, I think half the amount of the balsamic vinegar would have done it. Overall, we enjoyed it and I plan to make it again! Thank you for the great recipe.
I have a recipe for pasta sauce with Italian sausage that I really like ~ Be that as it may, this recipe makes A VERY, VERY TASTY SAUCE! I actually made a batch with the beef & another batch without it, & both are great! The one without was especially good for my son & his wife since they're vegetarians! Thank you for another great sauce recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Beverage Tag]
Howdy from a fellow Texan! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I must admit that it is very similar to the way I have been making mine for years - with the exception of the addition of cinnamon and parmesan. What delightful enhancements! Oh, and just a *chuckle* way I use to break up the tomatoes is to "SMOOSH" them in my hands. It's fast and fun!!

This should translate the page
On this map I outlined the route of my route after Girona in Spain.
Some data for this:
- 20.08.05 - 29.08.05
- Wheel + trailers + luggage: 11 kg + 7 kg + 10 kg = 28 kg
- ~ 1600 km total distance in 10 stages (120 - 190 km/day)
I drew the map to excuse inaccuracies please I therefore.
Since I for the racing cycle do not only drive myself, but also for country and people interest, I tried to find a landschaftlich beautiful distance.
I selected a goal and output place in such a way that a simple return journey (in this case a flight from Girona to the airport Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden) was possible.
Because I rather make an elbow around larger cities with mine "train", I do not have photos for these places. With some beautiful motives the rain made a line for me by the calculation (perhaps a reason to drive parts of the route later again).
For the pictures one must click on the appropriate red circles.
Over to the map to return is enough then click on the picture.
Pre and Zuruecknavigieren are naturally also possible.
I did like this picture

I am now 40+++ years in the USA and worked for a number of German/USA companies. German to English translation is never simple. The sentence structures and syntax and innuendoes get lost or falsely translated.
I have never seen a computer translation worth a darn.
I translate by understanding the original text and then create the same meaning in the other language. That requires deep understanding of both languages.
Just IMHO.

If you're not already a Clarisonic convert, you're missing out. Skeptical? Consider this: Using a sonic frequency to oscillate back and forth at a rate of more than 300 movements per second, the brush removes up to two times as much dirt and oil and up to six times as much makeup as cleansing with your hands. Youll notice clearer skin and smaller-looking pores after just a few weeks. While we love the original model, the pint-size Mia is a welcome addition, with its straightforward single button, single speed functionality. Plus, the smaller size means its ultra portable and perfect for travel.
Have been using for two weeks and not noticing anything extraordinary about this device. I haven't had a breakout in probably 10 years and this gave me multiple zits...so maybe it's working or maybe I should just leave my skin alone. You decide.
Didn't make skin softer than a regular exfoliation would either.
Did give me noticeably broken capillaries around my nose, so I'm going to return--realizing it's likely too harsh for my skin.
If you have skin issues and need a deeper cleansing daily, then perhaps this tool will get you closer to that goal. However, for those of us with normal skin, I just really don't see the point.

Daines: Health law a big part of campaign [Legal Monitor Worldwide]
(Legal Monitor Worldwide Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) While newly appointed Montana Sen. John Walsh does not have ties to the Affordable Care Act that other Democratic candidates do, the law will still be "very relevant" in this year's Senate race, Walsh's likely opponent said Friday.
The law will not be repealed if Democrats remain in control of the Senate, Rep. Steve Daines, the Republican front-runner in the Senate race, said during an interview in Kalispell.
"I think it will be relevant because it's something that Montanans will be talking about," Daines said. "I think we need a new leadership in the Senate, and a leadership that will be a check and balance on President Obama." Daines said he supports a complete repeal of the law, which he considers profoundly flawed and beyond repair with small measures.
He likened it to a badly tangled fishing line that a sensible angler would not waste time untangling.
"We need to cut the line and tie on a new fly," he said.
Daines asserted that the president's actions are evidence of its flaws. Obama has granted waivers, made exceptions and delayed implementation of certain firmly outlined provisions in the law, most recently delaying a requirement for small businesses to provide insurance to their employees.
"The president is unilaterally making things up as they go along," Daines said. "It's very, very concerning. And he knows he's got a serious problem on his hands." The Affordable Care Act and a variety of other federal endeavors, such as National Security Agency surveillance, are no longer "theoretical concepts" for the American people, Daines said, adding that his office regularly hears stories from constituents who have been negatively impacted by the health-care law.
"Big government has been displayed in living color," he said, predicting there will be a continuing cascade of stories as more people are affected.
While Northwest Montana continues to struggle, Daines expressed optimism about Montana's economic potential. Daines was one of the original leaders at RightNow Technologies in Bozeman, a company that was bought by software giant Oracle nearly two years ago.
RightNow spawned a burst of economic growth that continues with former employees pursuing innovative start-up companies. He cited the emergence of firearms technology leaders such as PROOF Research as harbingers of economic development.
Montana's natural amenities and quality work force are connected and will fuel that development, he said.
"If PROOF was located in Texas, I don't think they would have the same quality of folks," he said, alluding to how the quality of life in Montana can be an economic driver.
But Daines said restraints on natural resource development, particularly in the timber industry, continue to hold back the state. He was scheduled to visit community leaders in Eureka and Libby today on that topic.
Daines said one of the simplest themes of his campaign will be, "We need more jobs, we need less government," and he predicts clear differences between himself and Walsh will become apparent.
For example, Daines said he voted against the recent increase in the nation's debt ceiling because it lacked any spending reforms, while Walsh voted in support of it.
That's one more reason why he wants to see Republicans claim a majority in the Senate. Daines winning Montana's Senate race is expected to be crucial for that to happen.
"There's too much at stake right now in the country," Daines said. "This is going to be a very important election." In another development in the Montana Senate race, David Leaser of Kalispell announced on Friday he is suspending his campaign for the Republican Senate nomination.
"The Republican National Committee, the Tea Party patriots and the Montana GOP have already voiced their support for Congressman Steve Daines and I do not wish to contribute to a rift in the party," Leaser said in explaining his decision to withdraw.
"I believe the Republican Party and Tea Party conservatives need to come together and make a concerted effort to take back the seat from the Democrats," Leaser said. (c) 2014 Legal Monitor Worldwide. All Rights Reserved. Provided by Syndigate.info, an Albawaba.com company

The More Things Change: Foreign Aid Budget Looks like a Retread from the Cold War
Lobe, Jim, Foreign Policy in Focus
February 19, 2004
If the "war on terror" is beginning to look increasingly like the cold war, then President George W. Bush's fiscal year (FY) 2005 foreign-aid request will not change that impression.
While Bush is proposing to increase funding for his two key anti-poverty initiatives, the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) and anti-AIDS money for African and Caribbean countries, he is also cutting funds for other key humanitarian and development accounts. At the same time, the president is asking Congress to increase by more than one billion dollars military and security assistance, particularly to key "front-line" states in the "war on terror". Those two categories, which include anti-drug aid and proliferation categories, would make up nearly one-third of all U.S. foreign aid under Bush's request, roughly the same percentage of total foreign aid when the cold war reached its height during the 1980s.
Under Bush's proposals, credits for foreign militaries to buy U.S. weapons and equipment would increase by some $700 million to nearly $five billion, the highest total in well over a decade. Even including the military credits, the total foreign aid proposal, which is included in a record federal budget request of some $2.4 trillion, amounts to a mere five percent of what Bush is requesting for the Pentagon next year.
Under his plan, military spending--which already constitutes roughly one-half of the world's total military expenditures--would rise by some seven percent, to $402 billion in FY 2005, which begins Oct. 1. That figure does not include an anticipated $50 billion more that the administration is expected to request to fund military and related operations in Iraq and Afghanistan later in the year.
The total budget request now goes to Congress, where even members of Bush's own Republican Party say he is unlikely to get everything he wants in view of the record budget deficits being forecast well into the future as a result of the president's tax cuts and military spending hikes.
Deficits and Spending
The projected deficit for FY 2005 now stands at some $521 billion, an amount that makes even the free-spending Ronald Reagan look like Charles Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge. So great is the deficit--and the accumulating debt--that even the normally deferential International Monetary Fund warned recently the United States is approaching a fiscal crisis that threatens global financial stability.
To accommodate the big increases in defense and homeland security, the overall budget proposes significant cuts to agriculture, transportation and environmental protection, among other non-security-related items.
Bush's foreign-aid plan actually marks an increase over 2004 levels, although much of the additional money is explained by greater spending on security for U.S. embassies and personnel overseas.
As in previous years, Israel and Egypt are the biggest bilateral recipients under the request, accounting for nearly five billion dollars in aid between them. Of the nearly three billion dollars earmarked for Israel, most is for military credits. But other countries, particularly those--like Turkey, Jordan, Pakistan, Indonesia, and the Philippines-considered critical in the "war on terror," will also see significant increases in credits and aid, some of it from the Economic Support Fund (ESF)--a category of security assistance used during the cold war to give support to key geo-political allies.
ESF, which fell sharply in the 1990s, will increase by some $400 million over last year's level, or more than 20 percent, to more than $2.5 billion if Bush's proposal is approved. Pakistan will get nearly $700 million under the plan, while Jordan will get $459 million. Aid to Afghanistan, which is scheduled to hold elections for the first time in June despite a year-long resurgence of the former Taliban regime, is slated at $1.2 billion. …

Toyota Motor Friday declined to confirm reports in two Japanese newspapers that the company has picked San Antonio for a new truck and SUV plant.
Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff spoke with Toyota officials yesterday. He told the San Antonio Express-News that the company gave no indication a decision has been made.
The president of the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation, Mario Hernandez, said Toyota has not notified the city of any decision.
Cities in Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee are also vying for the plant.
Two Japanese newspapers reported San Antonio is the choice for the automaker's sixth assembly plant in North America. The reports indicate an announcement will come in a few weeks. Toyota spokesman Dan Sieger said the company has not made a decision.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Shooter overall happy I was a little concerned reading some of the reviews especially about the sight but overall, I'm happy with this gun. A real gun expert may find faults but for the price and my expectations- it's just right. only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is just because I haven't owned it long enough and shot from far enough distances yet.

Rated 1 out of 5�by John Terrible gun Do not buy this gun! Scope mount was so misaligned it was worthless. Had to return it to the store. Product did not say "Gamo" on the box or on the gun. Probably not even made by Gamo. November 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by jp4484a5 great gun so/so scope the gun is great killed lots of game with it good for plinking targets and i would buy a better scope it barley holds a zero and every like 5 or so shots it bumps off zero but overall good gun March 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by nick Good air rifle Works good and is good for killing rats out of trees. March 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by djmac So far the Hornet is exactly what I wanted in an air rifle. Had shoulder surgery and my pump pellet gun became more difficult to use. Decided to try a breaking gun and purchased one. Because of the weight and strong trigger pull was unable to obtain satisfactory accuracy. Returned it to where I bought it. Did some research, read the reviews and decided on the Hornet. The air rifle has been all I could hope for. The scope is satisfactory. Trigger pull and weight good. And accuracy good after some work adjusting. Nailed 2 of those nasty little red tree rats today and missed a big gray. That figures. January 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by cj you should buy this gun it is good for small game like rats and more this is a good gun is well take small game in one shot and well never die down. January 21, 2015

The Democrats have longed to impose gun control, or confiscation, for decades, but after a series of electoral defeats they finally backed off. The issue has largely receded from view, although gun owners have remained vigilant. For some time, Second Amendment advocates have suspected that the Obama administrations gun walking program (Fast and Furious) was intended to create a pretext for bringing back the gun control issue. There has been a little evidence of that, but not much. Today, however, Sharyl Attkisson of CBS, who has been all over the Fast and Furious scandal and would, in a sane world, get a Pulitzer Prize, broke another scoop:
Documents obtained by CBS News show that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation Fast and Furious to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales.
ATF officials didnt intend to publicly disclose their own role in letting Mexican cartels obtain the weapons, but emails show they discussed using the sales, including sales encouraged by ATF, to justify a new gun regulation called Demand Letter 3″. That would require some U.S. gun shops to report the sale of multiple rifles or long guns. Demand Letter 3 was so named because it would be the third ATF program demanding gun dealers report tracing information.
On July 14, 2010 after ATF headquarters in Washington D.C. received an update on Fast and Furious, ATF Field Ops Assistant Director Mark Chait emailed Bill Newell, ATFs Phoenix Special Agent in Charge of Fast and Furious:
Bill can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same (licensed gun dealer) and at one time. We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long gun multiple sales. Thanks.
On Jan. 4, 2011, as ATF prepared a press conference to announce arrests in Fast and Furious, Newell saw it as (A)nother time to address Multiple Sale on Long Guns issue. And a day after the press conference, Chait emailed Newell: Billwell done yesterday (I)n light of our request for Demand letter 3, this case could be a strong supporting factor if we can determine how many multiple sales of long guns occurred during the course of this case.
Follow the link, and you can see the emails. I have reviewed hundreds of thousands of emails produced in discovery, and am acutely aware that one should not draw cosmic conclusions on the basis of a few ill-chosen words or random references. We certainly want to be fair to the Obama administration officials who were involved in Fast and Furious. But a fundamental question has never been answered: why in the world did the Obama administration not just allow AK-47s and other weapons to be shipped across the border to Mexican drug gangs, but encourage and even finance such transactions, over the objections of jittery gun shop owners and its own veteran agents? If the Obama administration wasnt trying to set up an argument for more gun control, then what was it trying to do? That question has never been answered.
If the Obama administration did arrange for the shipment of arms to Mexican drug gangs, not for any legitimate public purpose but in order to advance a left-wing political agenda, and those guns were used to murder hundreds of Mexicans and at least one American border agentwhich they werethen we are looking at a scandal that dwarfs any in modern American history. I think one would have to go back to James Buchanan, who ordered the shipment of federal armaments to the South so that they could be commandeered by secessionists when disunion came, to find a worse scandal. And one could argue that even that act by Buchanan, generally considered the worst President in American history, was motivated by principle and not politics, and therefore was not as craven as Obamas gun walker scandal. But such a judgment would be premature. A great deal more investigation needs to be done before we can conclude that Fast and Furious was the worst scandal since pre-Civil War days.
Gunwalker ping.
Can you say "working under the radar"? Sounds like this is what was meant to sarah brady when obie talked to her about the lack of action concerning those evil gun owners.
Next question.
Anybody? Anybody?
Not everyone thinks commies need to be treated fairly as seen from the commie viewpoint.
Pretty much...
The Federal Government tried to light a Reichstag fire by fueling a drug war at our Southern border.
duh, it's all about gun control, people control, power and ambition
Absolutely. Check out "Sarah Brady claims Obama pushing gun control under the radar"
I think the history is a little off here. My reading of it says that it was not Buchanan who ordered the armements shipped to the South, but his Secretary of War, a guy named John B. Floyd
Yes, but don't forget the basic tenet of a would be dictator like Hussein 0bama boils down to one thing - PEOPLE CONTROL!.
FUBO GTFO! 408 Days until Noon Jan 20, 2013
The simple fact they can't give a reason that they facilitated the illegal sale of untraceable guns to the cartel is pretty damning. I mean, they can't even say what they hoped would happen.
The only possible thing I can think of is that they had deeply imbedded agents who were going to handle the guns as they worked their way down south. Doesn't seem too likely, apart from the morality of letting bad guys use them, as I take it the usual procedure is to discard any weapons used so they can't be traced any farther.
The Federal Government tried to light a Reichstag fire by fueling a drug war at our Southern border.
As accurate as that statement appears to be given the abundant evidence, the accusation is way beyond mere "treason" and is well ensconced in the realm of "Active Declaration of War Against America"
Its just not as dramatic as dropping nuclear weapons on Houston, El Paso, Phoenix and LA.
Send H0lder to Gitmo.
You bet this was the plan to take the guns away from the People. The plan back fired and—let us hope—it can take down the Obama crew and his would be Socialist/Progressive plans. Down with Holder! Down with all who tried this terrible and deadly stunt.
Lemme see? It would be possible to understand one hundred or several hundred guns thru this one source. To more accurately make the point about arms control, if that were the true focus of the program; would it not have been better to have instances from all over the country?
I could swallow gun control as a driver for FAST & FURIOUS if that was the case. What I see in this is gun control, as an issue, being piggy-backed on an extant program. What is the program? Why nothing more than the arming of one or more cartels - plain and simple.
The complication is: why arm the cartels even more? Answer that and the truth becomes self-evident. This is what the DEA and DoJ and others are desperate to hide. I am very surprised that we have not seen more fallout from this debacle than we already have.
I would suspect the fallout to be in the form of dead bodies.
What use does Obama, or his cohorts, have in having heavily armed groups of foreign nationals, most probably obligated to him, based just across the border?
Call 1-800-whitehouse to find the retail outlet in your neighborhood!
It's more than just to call for more gun control. They also want millions more "refugees" heading north, by turning Mexico into a war zone.
In 1996 Clinton's buddies the Chinese military was arming up the LA gangs with full auto weapons to make sure Clinton didn't leave the WH.
If Sheriff Joe finds Zippo is ineligible to be president everyone is going to find out the hard way F&F is not about gun control, they intend for those weapons to be used.
The investigation is ongoing. We have reports of "gunwalking" in Texas, Florida, and Indiana (to Chicago gangs). The investigation in those other areas has been hampered because no whistle-blowers have come forward as they did in Arizona.
This is not surprising, given the Regimes retaliation against the whistle-blowers in Fast and Furious, and the fact that no federal agents were killed in the other programs.
WELCOME to the party, John. Many of us have been making these claims for a year now, but it's good to have you on board.
No comment. Apparently any comment I make on this topic will be removed.
Yes it was.
Just when I think it's safe to walk away from the computer....
It still is.
Can't we just see it now?
Holder has said those weapons will be used in crimes in the future. Because of this 'tragedy,' 'for the children,' we will have to......
Never mind that lying is a all in someone's mind.
I suspect they were up to more than one horror - but lying to create the illusion of a need for more gun control was definitely on their list...
I look at F&F as arming 0bama's 'civilian army' in pursuit of overrunning the US.
All this has succeeded in doing is tripling gunsales across the country and making the people who OWN guns that much more willing to fight for the right to keep them.
We are a mighty stubborn lot. Yes, we are.
It's just too close to the Clinton's 1996 dirty tricks campaign to be a coincidence.
In 1996 Clinton's buddies the Chinese military was arming up the LA gangs with full auto weapons to make sure Clinton didn't leave the WH.
If Sheriff Joe finds Zippo is ineligible to be president everyone is going to find out the hard way F&F is not about gun control, they intend for those weapons to be used.
That's it.
Al Sharpton was front and center in Hillary's dirty tricks campaign when he tried to gin up civil unrest with the Jenna 6 BS.
Congress had started the nonsensical BS with the firing of the US Attorneys. They were trying to make it appear as if Bush had fired the US Attorneys to cover up for police misconduct.
That dirty trick got derailed by the Virginia Tech shooting bumping it out of the news and the Jenna 6 abandoned Al Sharpton and left him with squat.
Hillary went to plan "B" which was supposed to take Zippo right to the very edge of being elected then have him declared ineligible to be president. This would have triggered race riots throughout the country and launched Hillary into the WH with basically dictatorial powers. Right out of the Weather Underground playbook.
Nobody on the right side of the isle cooperated with Hillary's plan, and if she did it herself she wouldn't get the black vote. No black vote no presidency.
We're getting Hillary's plan "B" to get her fat ass into the WH.
The best-laid schemes o' mice an 'men
Gang aft agley..
Hitlery's too hideous and ancient looking, I don't think she could steal enough votes to put her over the top.
Thanks for the ping, Dead Corpse. I was originally going to post to your post only because it was right on and I was glad someone had the guts to say it...then I was going to add Hoosier-Daddy ("Treason") because that's how I see it...then I decided to ping all posters. Very interesting that yours was removed.
Just a few of the times RK has been used to gin up civil unrest.
1992 election we had the Rodney King LA race riots. Following the RK beating Bush had ordered the FBI to review all complaints filed against police with the FBI for the previous 5 years. There was somewhere around 15,000 complaints (files) filed only around 42 had been pursued in court. One case that was pursued was against Gov. Bill Clinton for ordering his state troopers to racial profile.
The dems claimed since only 42 cases had been pursued out of 15,000 complaints, that proved Repub. racism. Those FBI files on police misconduct is what was used to spark the LA race riots.
Following the riots in 1992 the FBI claimed there was nothing in the files. Bush ordered the US Attorneys to review the files. Perot was in the 92 election to make sure Bush didn't release the content of the files, not only because of the complaints against Clinton's state troopers that had gotten him sued, but because police, for the most part, are agents of the city governments which by and large are controlled by dems. The files showed police are not being hed accountable because of corrupt city govt., read dems., not repub. racism.
When Reno was nominated for AG she said she would release the content of the files if confirmed. Instead of releasing the content of the files, she fired the US Attorneys. The MSM never followed up on the content of the files because a little incident in Waco, TX diverted their attention.
Vince Foster's job was to surround Clinton with people that needed the USA's fired for their role in covering up police corruption. Following Waco, Vince Foster started spilling his guts about the files, VF ended up dead.
These files, or these type of files, is what Hillary threatened to release during Clinton's impeachment, her "Scorched Earth Policy", not the files Craig Livingston got which were nothing more than a ruse to divert peoples attention.
1996-They used the OJ Simpson trial to divide the races. Farrakhan (SP) had his million man march, called it a million man army. Brian Ross began dredging up the Rodney King case and the FBI files again in December of 1996. Dems fell in line and supported Clinton's reelection. Clinton and his minions in the press began with the BS stories of Black Churches being burned. Clinton was all about gun control and had implemented the so called assault weapons ban, but signed a special waver for his Chinese buddies to bring in 100-150,000 SKS semi auto rifles. They were so cheap you could buy one for under $50. While the Chinese were bringing in these weapons they were also smuggling in full auto weapons to the gangs in LA.
1998- Snot nose George Stephanopelas(SP) threatened a "Scorched Earth Policy" if Clinton was impeached. Dems voted in lock step not to impeach Clinton. That alone is enough to tell you the threat was against dems not repubs.
1999-(March) Reno is putting together a report on "Racial Profiling", Quanel X out of Houston is running all over the country looking for a police misconduct incident to gin up civil unrest, referring to it as "The spark that ignites the flame" which is straight from the Weather Underground. March 20, 1999 AP reporter Martha Mendoza writes a story that police aren't being held accountable, drags out the FBI complaints (files) again. AP stops pursing the story when at least 15 people (I was #15) contact the reporter and inform her dem controlled city govts. are responsible for police not being held accountable, not republicans.
2000- dems once again drag out racial profiling and add voter disfranchisement trying to gin up civil unrest. B Clinton had been sued for both while gov of Ark.
August 2002- Charles Baron makes a comment if they don't get reparations for slavery there will be "Scorched Earth" meaning race riots, in every city.
2004- dems try to use Abu Grahab prison to gin up civil unrest in black community by claiming Abu Grahab symbolizes the plight of the black man in Americas prisons. Police misconduct again.
Nov 2006- dems start witch hunt with the firing of the US Attorneys. Sharon Eubanks with CREW claims there are problems in the "Civil Right Division" at justice. DING DING DING! Trying to drag up police misconduct again and make it appear as if Bush fired the USA's to cover up police misconduct. Hillary loves to project in her dirty tricks campaigns.
Al Sharpton was running around trying to gin up civil unrest in the black community with the Jenna 6. Starts his campaign with "NOOSE" being the new "N" word. Phony stories of a noose being hug up to intimidate blacks start popping up all over the country. Same BS as the phony stories of black churches being burned during the 1996 election.
2008- Gates dust up. Phony story of racial profiling by police. CBC wants an investigation of police misconduct and Bush's Justice Dept. civil rights division. Congress is still trying to make the case Bush firing of USA's was somehow wrong and tries to tie police misconduct, racial profiling, and the firing of the USA's by Bush together.
Hillary's projecting again.
2011- Al Sharpton, Hillary's point man in her 2007 dirty tricks campaign to orchestrate race riots is hired by MSNBC. Just several weeks ago Special Ed Schultz tried to drag up the R King case again make making the ridiculous claim the pepper spraying of the students was another Rodney King type incident.
Whenever Rodney King is dragged back up, Hillary is going for the WH.
OWS is Hillary priming the pump for race riots. Zippo is going to be out and Hillary is going to be in. It's being set up to blame the 1% for getting Zippo declared ineligible, and to make the claim that the 1% the RICH WHITE PEOPLE control the govt.
What if the plan is simply to get more weapons on the streets so that murderous thugs can kill innocent Americans? As Obama destroys our economy, stretches the resources of public assistance and contributes to the breakdown of people who live one step away from a mistake that makes them homeless, people become more restless and hopeless. This encourages the inner cities to riot, once the spigots get turned off.
I see everything that is happening as putting all of America in one big pressure cooker, every single person is being pushed upon with greater force all the time, just waiting for that one little spark that he needs to light the fire.
And then I remember, Hillary Clinton ascribes to Alinsky's point of view, as well.
I'm sure whatever Dead Corpse said I agreed with. I never did see the deleted comment.
And yes, I'm making a deeper point there too...
My tagline...?
My last comment there was that even non-specific speculation is apparently frowned upon now. It's a dangerous slide due to political correctness and fear.
Fear and threats, Cain's grandchildren were threatened, that's why he bowed out. Palin was threatened, I've read. The Post and Email described a long time ago that all kinds of media/talkshow people were threatened.
We're in the middle of a coup and anyone in positions who could do or say something are sitting in the corner wetting their pants.
As I said, rather than fight.... They fled. Not a good attitude to have in a President.
Long ago, the kings would ride into battle in the van of the fighting. Or at least participate in the battle. The ideal king was a warrior with courage.

I grew up in a society wherein women are allowed to be seen not heard. It was the case in every corner of Sierra Leone. I grew up asking myself, what's wrong with our society? Why women are so badly treated? I was worried that I will grow up only to be treated the same way as all the women I knew. The country's decade old conflict only deepened my pessimism about the future.
Before the war, what was considered the normal was the most glaring abnormal one could experience. Growing up at a Police barracks in Freetown, Sierra Leone, I realized wife battering was not considered an abuse neither was it a crime. Men/boys had little or no regard for women and girls.
Rape was and still is a widespread phenomenon in Sierra Leone. In May 2013, the Ministry of Social Welfare, Gender and Children's Affairs recorded over 100 rape cases mostly of girls under the age of 14 while later in the year a deputy Minister allegedly raped a University student; the Minister was relieved off his duty but the matter is still dragging its feet in court.
What baffled me the most growing up was that families would rather keep the whole rape saga a secret ignoring or ignorant of the psychological and physical effects on these girls. I remember a girl of six, who lived with one of my mother's friends, was raped by a security guard who was over 40 years old and the penalty the man paid for the crime was to give the guardian of the child some monies to seek medical help. This girl and many other rape victims were caught up in an everyday mockery and taunting by people in the community. The alleged rapist was a man well renowned for his cruel acts; there were reports that he deflowered his daughters and he was not the only one doing this evil act. Other guys in our community did it too and they had the common parable, 'I cannot cook a soup and allow another man to be the first to taste it.' No one thought these men were destroying young girls. Sadly, everybody knew who the paedophiles, rapists and abusive guys in the community were but no action was taken. Our parents warned us not to go close to them or to walk alone on the streets or the fields especially in the evening or at night. 'If Mr X calls you don't go near him, if he gives you money don't take it,' they would warned us. However, no one prosecuted; in fact such matters were not priorities for the police.
The war only worsened the pain of the average Sierra Leonean woman. The fear of being raped by a group of armed men was far greater than the fear of death. Rape victims are usually ostracized, abandoned and left to deal with their trauma. Childhood experience for us who grew up during the war was unlike most. As children we witnessed amputations, saw women raped or murdered in front of their families.
However, with these gruesome experiences of some of the very horrific things women in my country were going through, I decided to study journalism. I wanted to speak out for them, make a case for them. Shout out loud until somebody hears and make the change. Sierra Leone is signatory to most of the conventions and treaties that has to deal with improving the status of women, but implementation has been very poor so far. Until recently, The country had no minimum age for a girl to be given hand in marriage. My work as a journalists in Sierra Leone also took me to the four corners of the country where I learnt that even with this minimum age, people were still giving their daughters away for as low a bride price as a bowl of monkey nuts. I visited the northern part of the country in 2008; I came into contact with many teenage girls who had been given to farmers as wives. Most of them had had kids and were living in a very deplorable state.
My work as a journalist also exposed me to a regular use of the internet. I became a big fan of it. I could not go a day without browsing the internet; searching for materials for my column then 'Gender watch'. I was also introduced to gender link website where I learnt a lot by reading other similar stories. I began to read other women's stories. This helped to shape mine, to sharpen my voice in speaking out for women. When I and other female journalists some six years ago formed Women in the Media Sierra Leone (WIMSAL), I used the chance to encourage my colleagues to be using the internet more regularly. With the internet my views can reach the world. I can learn from other people's stories and I can gain relevant materials, advice and recommendations which I can publish locally for our local women to learn from. On several occasions, I used time during our meetings to explain to colleagues the benefits of the internet in reaching out to people who could intervene on behalf of the suffering women in Sierra Leone. There are organizations out of the country that are always willing to help these women and if we as female journalists do not post their stories to the international public, people will not know about their plight or come to their aid. Thanks to World Pulse, today I have an even bigger online audience. I have been amazed by the responses I get and I have learnt a lot from reading stories from other women. One thing that is clear is as women no matter where we are we share the same stories.
About a year or two ago, I set up a Facebook group called 'Stop Violence against Women and Girls'. This Group examines the issues within Violence against Women and Girls, discuss the problem and suggest adequate solutions. It is a forum for other women and well wishing men to add their voice in speaking out for the millions of women and girls who suffer various forms of violence on a daily basis. The group encourages members to post articles, commentaries, opinions and reports or make personal comments or posts that are related to Violence against Women and Girls. The group has 868 members. Without the internet, I would not have had such a space and been able to reach out to such an audience and from diverse backgrounds.
The internet is the light at the end of the tunnel for women's empowerment. Personally, it has been an inspiration, because I have a forum to express myself, I feel pushed to always voice out my opinion. I believe many others currently lacking the opportunity I have would feel the same if they have similar opportunity. I also believe my voice speaks out for all the battered women some of whom will die never having such an opportunity. I believe in their graves they would be at peace knowing somebody out here is fighting their cause.
Albeit social media has become so popular in the world today, but in my little Sierra Leone, the number of women having access to the internet is still appallingly low. The reason is basically many cannot afford accessing the internet with its very high cost. Most are not computer literate and poverty which is pervasive makes internet use the least of their priorities. The use of mobile phones is highly monitored by male partners in Sierra Leone. Many believe the use of mobile phones is a means of women going astray or keeping illegitimate relationships. As a result some women prefer to go without and keep the peace in their marriage or relationship.
Even among female journalists, most rarely use the internet and this service is mostly available at work and because of the slow nature of the service backed by an interrupted power supply and the frustrations of using it, it is impossible for many. I know of colleagues who could go a whole month or even more without checking their emails or even access the internet. Among the few with Facebook accounts, a handful occasionally accesses it. As for Twitter, most do not have a twitter account. Only a few have whats'app installed on their mobile phones.
There are very few public Libraries in Sierra Leone. Community Libraries are not available. The two main Libraries are the Sierra Leone Library and the British Council Library, both in the capital Freetown and are always jam-packed with students from Colleges and Universities around the city. Most people have their first touch of a computer at College or University. The computer room at Fourah Bay College, University of Sierra Leone was very small and could only take up to 25 people at a time.
Information and communication technology affect our capacity to fully enjoy our human rights and fundamental freedoms. Sierra Leone probably has the weakest cyber security. There have been incidents of professional sabotage and identity theft. The safety of internet use is in question; most times people go to internet cafes and later realized their email accounts have been hacked. Women and girls are increasingly being harassed online especially through mobile phones. In Sierra Leone this comes in the form of whats'app harassing. Often times, one will notice that somebody one has never come into contact with has added one to their whats'app account and they will be sending some very unfriendly messages and sometimes pornographic pictures.
Such harassments only pave the way for more trouble for women in relationship/marriage. Gender based violence in our real life is being replicated online. There have been cases wherein intimate pictures and videos of young girls have been used to blackmail them. For such reasons, some people rather not use the internet. Thankfully, the internet is not only changing the way women and girls experience violence but also how they react to them.
Despite the poor internet and power service in Sierra Leone, I believe giving the women especially in rural communities the privilege of computer literacy could go a long way in empowering them. These women need support from other women. They need that supporting voice or hand that would let them know that they are not alone; there are other women who share their pains and who have gone through similar experience and have come out of it as champions of change. If they are computer literate, they would be able to use the World Wide Web and liaise with other women from other parts of the world to keep up their spirit and to learn how to respond to gender-based violence both in the real world and online. The women of Sierra Leone have suffered a lot, it is very necessary that they are able to use the internet and conquer gender based violence.
Having community Libraries with internet access could make it easy for women to access the internet and learn how to use it. The National Telecommunication Commission; the regulating body for all telecoms in the country must be empowered to deal with issues of cyber harassing and other cyber related abuses. The government should also develop a cyber security bill that will help prevent cyber harassment and bullying against young girls and women. The country should also sign the African Union Convention on cyber security. In addition institutions like the police and the judiciary should be given the necessary training to handle such matters professionally and on time. Justice delayed is justice denied; cases of such nature must be granted the importance they deserve.
Finally, it is also necessary that laws regarding cyber security both for the service provider and the consumer is enshrined in the constitution; especially so as it is currently being reviewed. The world is moving and Sierra Leone is moving with it even though at a snail's pace.
Take action! This post was submitted in response to WWW: Women Weave the Web .
Thank you so much for contributing to the Women Weave the Web campaign. Your insights and comprehensiveness on the webs of relations between violence against women and ICT opened my eyes to issues I hadn't quite thought through yet. And I had never heard of the African Union Convention on cyber security. So grateful to have my eyes opened!
Wishing you peace,
You are welcome Kelly, Thanks for the opportunity. I appreciate. Thanks again
MS Kandeh
Dear MS Kandeh,
Thank you so much for such a well-written and concise contribution to Women Weave the Web. Everyone who reads this piece will better understand not only the problems but the solutions that you put forth. You are to be commended for your commitment to journalism and your courage to tell stories that need to be told but may meet much resistance along the way. I hope that your leadership in speaking out on behalf of women in Sierra Leone will interest NGOs and others who could support library internet-access and education projects. Perhaps your voice through World Pulse will help some of these connections form.
More power to you!
Thanks a lot Susan I hope for such connections too. Cheers
MS Kandeh
I have read about Sierra Leone and what the people have suffered during the war, especially women and children kidnapped, raped and children used as child soldiers. I hope the situation has now become better somehow though the trauma of the experience will always be there.
Thank you for all the initiatives you've taken to help uplift women. We are in a very patriarchal world and it takes courage and perseverance to be able to stand up and be heard. Women have rights and deserve respect like any other male. Be that voice for those who have none and make a difference. You already have and can do so much more. Well done keep it up. :)
Thanks for the words of encouragement Lylin. Indeed the people have endured a lot and there's need for change. I will definitely keep raising the issues. Together we can make the difference. Thanks
MS Kandeh
Thank you very much sister Mkandeh is having this time to share with us your ideas, I read your article its my watch how many times you're a woman leader. Your decision to study journalism because help women in your community who are long suffering with violence, it is a good decision and also think the rural woman of Sierra Leone has is something that really good because it is not only in your community or rural women feels the same here in our DR Congo the rural women are always late. Just a word Courage in your lute changes thank you
Thanks a lot Sylvie, Whereever we are, as women we share the same issues. It is great to have our voices raised on them for a change. I appreciate your support and thanks for joining me in speaking out. Bless
MS Kandeh

MS Kandeh
Dear MS Kanden, You have written a wonderful article, comprehensive and with a broad historical view. I visited Liberia several years ago and learned about Sierre Leone then. It's so tragic to experience war and helplessness. You have written about not only the violence, but some solutions as well. Keep up the good work and please continue to share with us. Blessings, William
Appreciations to you William. Thanks for adding your voice to this. Its my pleasure sharing the issues in Sierra Leone on World Pulse. Thanks again

Family Fun
Back in the day, no responsible parent would let their child within 100 feet of Times Square—but those times are long gone. Now, kid-friendly offerings are in no short supply.
Over on 45th Street, little fans of Mickey, Frozen's Elsa and other Disney characters can peruse toys, apparel, housewares, DVDs and other goodies at the Times Square Disney Store.
Visitors with a sweet tooth should find suitable snacks at Hershey's Chocolate World Times Square, where Hershey's-brand treats, souvenirs and clothing await behind a 16-story facade. There's even a machine that lets you customize wrappers on Hershey's bars. Once they've filled their baskets with sugar, kids can submit a message and then head outside to see it on the store's scrolling marquee.
Over at M&M's World New York, families can pose for photos with a towering, candy-coated Statue of Liberty; discover their "M&M's personality" by stepping into the Color Mood Analyzer (scientific validity questionable); and print images onto their confections.
Budding culture vultures and pop-culture aficionados will love Discovery Times Square, which tells the stories and secrets behind engaging topics past and present. It's the kind of place to find interactive exhibitions on King Tut, Star Wars and Legos. Pop culture fans will be likewise thrilled inside the Madame Tussauds New York wax museum, which recently debuted a lifelike replica of everyone's favorite dystopian heroine, Katniss Everdeen. She joins likenesses of over 200 celebrities including Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, Robert Pattinson, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. Go ahead and pretend you met them; your Instagram followers may not know the difference (well, maybe they'd know with Marilyn). And just because Times Square is now family friendly doesn't mean it lacks oddities. Exhibit A is Ripley's Believe it or Not!, where shrunken heads, a giant hairball and a cow with six legs are the norm. If none of that seems high minded enough, consider taking in a show at the family-friendly New Victory Theater, whose productions cater to kids. —Alyssa Grossman and nycgo.com staff

Just Pondering Part 157
by Renard Moreau
There are times when I think that people want you to lie to them even though they have asked for your honest opinion. For example: Your companion asks if a certain piece of clothing makes them look fat. You blurt out, "Yes," and a domestic war starts brewing (So much for telling the darn truth).
Why do some people find the truth so hurtful? Maybe, it is because our version of it differs from theirs.
After all, someone's truth is really their own perception of something.

In fact, "permadeath option" is an oxymoron.
As to random vs. procedural generators... most procedural generators use random factors (and few random generators can be said to be "just random").
I guess you're, highlighting the fact that re-hashing the same rooms over and over gets boring faster than having procedurally generated rooms?

If you're a musician who wants to film your practice sessions or a fan in the crowd recording your favorite band, here's a common problem that can often occur: the video you shoot will end up looking OK, but the audio sounds weak and thin. For a medium in which audio is the key component and portability is important, there are relatively few options.
It's difficult to hold a camcorder while, say, climbing up a sheer face in Yosemite. But there are many camcorders on the market that allow hands-free operation. The LOREXvue Video Sunglasses will capture video while freeing your hands up for other duty. You put them on, turn them on and shoot video, all while doing whatever else you like. Whatever you see, the camera sees and captures.

Student Leaders at the University of Montreal during the Early 1950s: What Did Catholics Want? (Quiet Revolution)
Neatby, Nicole, Historical Studies
It has long been the fate of Quebec society of the 1950s to be overshadowed by the decade of the 1960s and the Quiet Revolution. The 1950s have been associated in the popular mind with the reactionary Duplessis regime. A parallel assumption has been that this regime drew strong support from the province's Catholic faithful, most of whom shared Duplessis' hostility to social change. In the last decade, scholars of the Quiet Revolution phenomenon have challenged this view of a society dominated by reactionary leaders adverse to social change and of Catholic supporters defending the status quo. Detailed research on Quebec society during the 1950s suggests that this decade was the "drum roll" period of the Quiet Revolution, a foreshadowing of developments leading up to the great social transformations of the 1960s. (1) More specifically, in the area of Church history, scholars have established that Catholics did not form a monolithic group of social conservatives in Quebec society in the 1950s. A growing number of Catholics both lay and clerics were questioning the Church's authority. (2)
Quebecers in the 1950s however could not predict the developments and transformations associated with the Quiet Revolution. They had no sense of being either precursors or impediments to future social change. What were they saying about social change? Turning to the attitudes and activities of university student leaders at the University of Montreal during the early 1950s provides useful insights into the way in which some Catholics in Quebec society envisaged social reform.
According to sociologists, French-Quebec university students in the early 1950s had a marked tendency to conform to their elders' expectations. These students, in their view, also lacked social commitments and were apolitical. Students devoted their free time to entertainment. As Richard Simoneau explains, they characterized themselves mainly by "strong tastes for aesthetics, erudition, leisure activities, humour and entertainment, social relations." (3)
In the view of sociologists, (4) one also gathers that being religious provided a tangible illustration of students' conformity and conservatism. Richard Simoneau explains that the students' traditional ideology had a "strong religious and cultural flavour." (5) In fact, it is entirely "tributary to the ideology of religious nationalism dominant in the society of the time." (6)
Yet, these scholars show no interest in students' religious beliefs per se. They appear to point out students' Catholicism in order to confirm students' support of the status quo. In this perspective, Catholicism is reduced to a measure of students' compliance.
There is no doubt that French Quebec university students were Catholic during the early 1950s (7). Yet, to assume that this religious affiliation precluded any form of questioning of the status quo does not take into account many aspects of student attitudes and initiatives before the onslaught of the Quiet Revolution. Sources of information on student leaders at the University of Montreal during the early 1950s suggest that not only did these young people concern themselves with events and debates taking place beyond the university walls, but their social activism was in many ways fuelled by their Catholicism.
These findings force us to reconsider the idea of French Quebec university students in the early fifties as apolitical and devoid of a social conscience. They also invite us to understand the impact of their Catholicism in a less unidimensional way. As this case study of student leaders' attitudes and activities will reveal, Catholicism served the interests of reform both in its traditional and modernist manifestations.
In this study we will focus on the areas in which student leaders at the University of Montreal brought into play their Catholic beliefs most directly. (8)
This means analyzing the way student leaders responded to what they identified as the problems of Quebec society as a whole and how they believed they could contribute to solve them. …

This review is from: Kingston 8GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model SD10G2/8GB
Pros: Much faster read and write times than my old class 4 cards. My cameras aren't able to write to this card much faster than they did to the old Class 4 cards so where this card shines is when downloading photos from the card to the computer.
Cons: No storage case. The storage cases I found online were only 70 cents each; I'm sure Kingston could have added one for less than 50 cents each. I would have happily paid $1 more for this card if came with it's own storage case instead of having to go to the hassle of finding and buying one separately. This alone was enough to knock off a star from the rating.
Other Thoughts: While this wasn't a factor in deciding how to rate this card, it is much prettier and makes the other cards I have look downright ugly.
