A spectacular vineyard setting in the Livermore Valley is the location for The Concerts at Wente Vineyards series that kicks-off July 9th. The annual summer experience combines great music, food and of course wine in the heart of this lush wine region. Each season features an incredible line-up, and this year doesn't disappoint – find popular music for everyone.
During the months of July and August, the following headliners will take center stage:
- July 9: Chris Isaak
- July 16: Wynonna & the Big Noise
- August 6: Tony Bennett
- August 14: Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons
- August 26: Earth, Wind & Fire
- August 27: The Beach Boys
A variety of tickets are available in the beautifully terraced outdoor amphitheater. Choose a seat that's up-close and personal and enjoy a gourmet dinner at the award-winning The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards prior to the show. Another ticket option includes a buffet dinner (prepared by Wente) to be eaten at your table on the venue lawn. Or try dinner at Wente's Grill before the concert begins. No matter where you sit, it's a night under the stars you'll remember.
Founded in 1883, Wente Vineyards is the oldest continuously-operated, family-owned winery in the country. In fact, fourth and fifth generations of the family are integrally involved in every aspect of the business. There is plenty of history in Livermore, too – Robert Livermore, for whom the town was named, was as interested in growing grapes in the 1840s as he was in raising cattle and horses. And the Livermore Valley was the first in California to label Petite Sirah, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc as varietals.

There is a theorem in Lang which says that if $L/k$ is Galois and $k\subseteq K$ is any field extension, if $L,K$ are subfields of a larger field, then $LK$ is Galois over $K$. I was wondering if $LK$ is also Galois over $L$?
I think this would be true if $K\subseteq L$ since then we can apply the same theorem to the extension $K\subseteq LK$ and use that $(LK)L=LK$. Is that right?

Summer is nearby and it's time to upgrade your wardrobes with clothing according to the latest fashion trends. This year's summer palette for guys has some interesting colors which are sure to influence the long run fashion scene.
Several themes have now been apparent this season that vary from the calm and soothing Placid Blue to the fiery Cayenne. Parallel to the women's color palette for spring/summer 2014, men's colors took an energetic and mischievous approach too. Designers have thrown in Dazzling blue and Celosia Orange to place across originality and modernization. This season, men's collections feature Purple Haze and Magenta Purple to make a magnetic look with these mysterious shades of purple. Blends of dark violet and green shades have already been used to produce the ultramodern and futuristic look.
As the temperatures increase, we are able to witness many vibrant themes that combine tropical and bold colors in several regions of menswear. The runways are more multi-colored and vibrant this year, adding a little bit of bright colors to the typical men's colors. Shades which were once accent - oranges, greens and mustard - are becoming the focal point of several collections which have been displayed for Spring/Summer 2014. These are the assortments of colors which can be seen in any varieties of clothing, from denims to jackets, and from footwear to tops. Many designers have paired accessories, including belts and shoes, in bold colors, like Cayenne, Freesia and Celosia Orange, to include a touch of zest to neutral formal attire.
Fashion is entirely about showing your own personal personality. When upgrading your wardrobe this year, you can be daring and creative and play with the trendy colors to get a totally new look. You are able to pair Placid Blue with Comfrey for a brand new and seasonally inspired look; or create a modernized vintage feel by pairing Purple Haze with Paloma.
However, if you do not want to wear bold colors, then you can choose safer colors such as for example white and sand. This spring/summer many stylists have created all-white ensembles that look absolutely gorgeous. To include only a little color to your all-white outfit, choose a brilliant color such as Celosia Orange and Freesia to make a fresh look. Sand can be worn with bold color accessories. Be self-assured this season and flaunt those bold colors or else tone it down a bit by balancing bright colors with neutrals.

Here is a tip on to achieve more success on the course from Chris Bernard, a PGA of Canada professional and director of golf at Glen Mar.
Find Your Focus:
Your focus is your most precious asset when playing golf. If you want to perform your best, you need to give every shot you hit your full attention. This means you have to focus at your best ability. What many golfers don't understand is that focus is a skill, and it needs to be practised.
What does that mean? Well, working on your ability to focus doesn't mean practising your ability to think more or how to think more intensely. In reality, better focus is more about quieting the mind and "sensing" or "allowing" more to happen. A lack of clear focusing ability is one of the main reasons why consistency is so hard to achieve in golf. If your attention is constantly distracted or you're trying too hard to think your way through a golf swing, then your scores will reflect a lack of focus, as well.
The No. 1 rule about any focus exercise is that it keeps you completely engaged through one or two of your senses for the entire swing, from beginning to end. One of the most common errors I see with regard to this is when a student anticipates too much. As golfers, it's common for us to anticipate the result of whatever swing or stroke we make. But when this happens incessantly, the mind races ahead of the present and all hell breaks loose.
Good swings require that the conscious mind stays quiet or occupied on something that's in the present during the entire motion. In fact, this is an unwritten law of superior athletic performance. All great athletes are able to get themselves in the present during their performances. The challenge with golf is that each performance is separated by a fairly lengthy time and you have to initiate the motion. You don't get to react to something or someone moving toward you like you do in most sports.
Here are some of my favorite focus exercises that you can practise on the range, and even better, on the course. Several of these exercises are from the likes of some of the best golf instructors in the industry:
Feel your balance:
Balance is a non-negotiable fundamental. Doing these simple, but very effective exercises will help you improve your stability during a swing and learn to swing without a mind full of bad swing thoughts. Focusing on balance easily distracts your conscious mind from worrying about too many things during the swing. It's also a great way to get loose, both physically and mentally.
To get started on developing a better kinesthetic awareness (feel), try and make a few swings (with or without a ball, that's your choice) with your feet together. Swing easy, then make full-speed swings, and keep at it until you're able to hold your balance.
Next, do the same thing, but on your right foot. Then, do it on your left foot. Finally, finish making some golf swings with your eyes closed. The goal is to develop a feel for your swing's balance and let go of result-oriented thinking.

Mandatory Paddling Gear
Transport Canada requires that paddlers carry certain safety items on human-powered pleasure craft such as canoes, kayaks, and stand up paddleboards. (Paddleboards aren't mentioned by name by Transport Canada, but they are currently included in this category.)
The equipment you're required to carry varies by type and length of your craft, and where and when you're paddling. You may need any or all of the following items. Visit Transport Canada for more details.
Every paddlecraft is required to have "one Canadian-approved personal flotation device or lifejacket of appropriate size for each person on board." Inflatable PFDs and belt packs are popular with boarders and other paddlers because of their low profile. You must be wearing an inflatable device for it to be legal (an excellent habit to get into with foam-filled flotation devices too). Inflatables are not legal for whitewater because they are not inherently buoyant.
Sound Signalling Device
Every paddlecraft must have "one sound-signalling appliance that meets the applicable standards set out in the Collision Regulations, or a sound-signalling device." Provided it's pealess, a simple whistle (like the one that comes attached to many PFDs) fulfills this requirement.
Heaving Line
Almost every paddlecraft is required to have "one buoyant heaving line at least 15m long." Sit-on-top kayaks are exempt, provided everyone on board is wearing an approved PFD or lifejacket (inflatable or foam).
Throwlines are great for whitewater paddlers, who can toss them from a river's edge to a companion in trouble. They are rarely used by sea kayakers or lake canoeists. Many non-whitewater paddlers carry a combination throwline-towline. A towline is more useful for most craft-to-craft rescues in open water, and for towing tired or seasick paddlers. If you're paddling on the sea, be sure any hardware on your towline is saltwater safe.
Bailer or Pump
"One bailer or manual bilge pump or bilge-pumping arrangements." A simple scoop made from a cut-up bleach bottle would fulfill the law, but a proper pump will empty your boat faster. This requirement doesn't apply to a "pleasure craft that cannot hold enough water to make it capsize or a pleasure craft that has watertight compartments that are sealed and not readily accessible." So paddleboards, self-bailing inflatable kayaks, and sit-on-top kayaks with hatch free flotation compartments are exempt.
Reboarding Device
"One reboarding device." This is required if the vertical height that must be climbed to reboard is more than 0.5m, so most paddlecraft are exempt. If you're paddling open water, consider carrying a rescue stirrup anyway. They're great for self or assisted rescues or even for those who can usually roll or reboard unassisted.
If you're paddling in darkness, fog, or snow, or if your craft is more than 6m long (like many double kayaks and expedition canoes) you're required to carry a "watertight flashlight." If you regularly paddle at night, consider a steady burning white light that is visible from all sides. It will give other boats a better chance of seeing you in time to react safely.
If your craft is over 6m, you're required to carry "Six Canadian-approved flares of Type A (Rocket Parachute), B (Multi-Star) or C (Hand)." You're exempt if you're paddling on a river, canal, or lake where you can't get more than 1.852km (one nautical mile) from shore, or if your boat "has no sleeping quarters and is engaged in an official competition or in final preparation for an official competition." Even if you're exempt, think about where and when you paddle, and whether carrying flares could increase your safety in an emergency.
The requirement for "One magnetic compass" doesn't apply if your boat is 8m or less and you're paddling within sight of seamarks (navigation marks). But a compass is always an excellent tool to have in case of fog or GPS failure.
Radar Reflector
Transport Canada's requires one radar reflector "in certain circumstances." Most paddlecraft are exempt in most situations as "the small size of the vessel or its operation away from radar navigation makes compliance impractical." However, this is a good reminder that small, non-metal boats are invisible on radar. Prudent paddlers should avoid high traffic waters in restricted visibility. If you're accidentally caught in such circumstances, a GPS and a VHF radio could be used to advise bigger boats of your location.

Deployed soldier celebrates baby's birth at McKee
Technology links Dad in Afghanistan to birthing suite
LOVELAND, Colo. (Aug. 30, 2013) – Danielle Cotton celebrated the birth of daughter Nyemah (pronounced ni-EE-ma) on Thursday with her husband at the bedside, even though physically, he was a world away.
Technology and the web brought Colorado Army National Guard Spec. Hanif Cotton to the McKee Family Birthing Center for more than five hours Thursday. He was there to offer words of encouragement and to welcome Nyemah into the world.
Spec. Cotton serves with the Colorado Army National Guard. He was deployed to Afghanistan in April. He is expected home before Thanksgiving, Danielle said.
In the meantime, Nyemah will join two older brothers at home: 2-year-old Romulus and 7-year-old Melakai.
Danielle said typically the family talks via Skype once or twice a week depending on what activities are going on in Afghanistan. On Thursday, as Danielle checked into the hospital, the couple worked with McKee Medical Center staff to establish an internet connection and to make sure Hanif knew the big day arrived. At noon, they connected again, and Hanif stayed with Danielle, talking to her and her physician, Elizabeth Howell, MD, until Nyemah was born.
Danielle said her husband has served active duty for 12 years and in the National Guard for 16 years.

Secrets of Success
Human Nature
Saturday, January 19, 2013
So I'm going along maintaining watching for signposts that I might be relapsing.
One was the thought that I don't feel that different, and is all this effort worth it. It is strange that I can feel like I'm not that different from when I was a size 20. But I guess I always did dwell in my brain a lot, if that makes sense. I mean, I've lost 7 or 8 inches off my waist, and I think that's not different? I guess this is what they mean when they say losing weight won't make you happier.
Last night I was thinking it's like winning the lottery. There are infamous cases of lottery winners who wind up with a lot of problems fom their sudden wealth. You read about it and think "How hard can it be to just pay off your debts and save the excess? But they burn through the money and keep burning too much of it once it's gone. In extreme cases it breaks up their family and causes rifts in their extended family. I read an article when the powerball was so big that listed a couple of cases of jail and suicide, saying it never would have happened if they hadn't won the lottery. I guess the most common thing that happens with newfound wealth is professional mismanagement, embezzlement, fraud or failure to pay taxes. Can these cases really be typical?
And yet with weight loss it apparently is the case that an overwhelming majority of people regain the weight plus some. I guess I should look harder at the studies. Do they count people who do it more than once? Kind of like how 50% of marriages end in divorce, but how many of those people have had more than one divorce?
Something I came to terms with the last couple of days is that "falling of the wagon" is not a symptom of things going wrong. I think it is simply human nature. Some might find this to be a pessimistic take on things, kind of like the old argument of whether or not it's natural for people to progressively gain weight in the first place. (I think it depends on the person; I have a lot of naturally thin or naturally active relatives).
And then there's the though I alluded to a while back that maintenance isn't interesting or exciting. (Me, I'm finding it all kinds of stimulating.) I'm not making the changes that can be seen on the outside, but I'm working on making the changes inside. I am working on becoming a "naturally" thin person. Or naturally normal, I guess. My husband argued his father does fight his weight sometimes. But I think when my FIL gains fifteen pounds, he doesn't sit down and console himself with sweet or fatty snacks. He just walks more and watches what he eats until his pants fit again. I don't think naturally thin people never gain weight. They just keep at it.
One interesting thought I had today is when I read in a SparkCoach lesson "the next five pounds" I automatically thought of increasing my weightlifting by five pounds. Since in my case I'm working toward a pullup, I'm quite literally looking at moving up to my bodyweight. Though as I've said, I'll probably need to lose more bodyfat on the way there.

It sounds to me like your inner and outer selves are out of sync. After your body changes, you need time to absorb and appreciate it. Have you had time to do that?
Also, you know that the change actually comes from within, right? Your appearance has changed because you worked on your beliefs and got smart about how your body works. You have accepted how worth it you are - you deserve every ounce of health you are blessed with.
Keep up the good work!

It's hard to maintain your motivation to keep doing this when you don't really have weight to lose. I like the fact your giving yourself challanges like a pull up and stuff i think that will help you to keep at it.

What I have learned from being in successful
maintenance for two and one half years is that
there are times when I eat surprising amounts
of food. Sometimes far more than I intended.
I track it and move on. The less I get upset
about it the better. I just go back to what has
worked for me for the last nearly four years.
I continually reinforce the new good habits
even though I sometime slip back into old
eating patterns.
Track and find out what calorie level will keep
you in stable maintenance. Then keep to that
average. If you overeat one day, then under eat
the next few. It is the average overtime that
really matters; not the daily ups and downs
The most important part of maintenance is
self-compassion. Be as patient, kind, and loving
to yourself even when you feel disappointed
in your behaviors. Trust you will find your way
You will!

"Basketball Wives LA" is heating up as Jackie Christie tries to convince the other women that Draya has a cheating man. On March 10, Fashion & Style reports that Draya is convinced boyfriend Orlando Scandrick never cheated on her.
The most recent episode of "Basketball Wives LA" cut off as Jackie Christie informed Draya Michele that her boyfriend had been seeing Jackie's daughter behind her back. Draya insists that information is wrong though and the timelines don't add up.
Draya also has some harsh words for Chantel Christie. According to Draya, Chantel and Orlando never hooked up. She said they shared some text messages prior to her relationship with Orlando. She said when it came time to meet face to face, Orlando wasn't all that impressed with Chantel Christie. Matter of fact, Draya said, "When they saw each other in person, my man said, 'Oh, no, no.' Had she been better looking? Sure."
Is Draya calling Chantel ugly? It sure does sound like it! How that will play out for the remainder of the season is still a mystery. Fans can bet that Jackie won't take kindly to her daughter being attacked though.
What do you think of the Draya/Chantel/Orlando love triangle on "Basketball Wives LA" this season? Do you think Orlando cheated and Draya is trying to clean it up?

Don't be intimidated by the word souffle. All you do here is fold fluffy, beaten egg whites into sweetened ricotta and, magically, the cake rises and swells like a souffle. Served straight from the oven, the cake is elegant and light as a feather, each bite melting onto the tongue. As it cools, it deflates and becomes dense and moist, and slightly more rustic in texture.
Obviously, the cheese is a very important component in this dessert. Please visit Corrieri's Formaggeria in the 12th South district here in Nashville for your cheese. You can also buy your amaretti cookies there, along with any other Italian specialty items that tickle your fancy. You will not be disappointed, and you will be supporting a great local business.
Ricotta souffle
- 3 pairs (6 individual) amaretti cookies, crushed
- 12 ounces ricotta
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup ground peeled almonds (see note)
- grated zest of 1 lemon
- 5 egg whites
Preheat the oven to 350. Butter a 6 inch souffle dish and line with amaretti crumbs. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, sugar, almonds and lemon zest. Stir until creamy and well incorporated. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until firm. With a spatula, carefully fold the ricotta mixture into the egg whites a little at a time. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
Note: Grind the almonds in a nut grinder, coffee grinder or blender.

The New Orleans Saints are usually notorious for their refusal to acknowledge a game's singular importance.
They live by an all-games-are-created-equal credo, drummed into their brains by Sean Payton's insistence on week-to-week consistency.
Not this week.
There's so much on the line in the Panthers-Saints showdown at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday night that not even the Deacons of Downplay can deny it.
"We know what's at stake," Drew Brees said. "... This game is the most important game of the season."
As usual, Brees is on target.
For all intents and purposes, the NFC playoffs will be determined Dec. 2-22. In that span, the conference's four top teams -- Seattle, New Orleans, Carolina and San Francisco -- will play four games against each other.
Six days ago the Saints vied for NFC supremacy in Seattle. After unsuccessfully securing the inside track to the No. 1 playoff seed, the Saints now must battle Carolina for the NFC South Division title and all-important No. 2 NFC playoff seed.
The Panthers have won eight consecutive games to pull into a tie with the Saints atop the division. There's little margin for error. New Orleans essentially needs to go to 3-1 the rest of the way to win the title and secure the second seed.
That won't be easy. The Saints are 3-3 on the road this season and two of their wins were dogfights. Upcoming visits to St. Louis and Carolina will be challenging, regardless of what happens Sunday night.
Nevertheless, the Saints can control their division and playoff destinies by winning either Sunday night or in the teams' rematch Dec. 22 in Charlotte, N.C.
Assuming the teams split the series and win their other two games, it would leave the Saints and Panthers deadlocked on the first three tiebreakers: head-to-head, division record and common opponents. The fourth tiebreaker is conference record and the Saints currently own a slight advantage with a 7-1 mark against NFC opponents; Carolina is 7-2.
"It's a division opponent at home and one that is vying for the same thing we are, which is a championship," Brees said. "There's a lot at stake, so I'd say anytime you get a game like that you're going to have the element of intensity."
The difference between the Nos. 2 and 5 seeds can be dramatic. Instead of a first-round bye and guaranteed home game in the divisional round, the Saints could be tasked with playing three road games before reaching the Super Bowl, an ominous proposition for a club that's winless in three postseason road games in the Payton-Brees era.
The Saints suffered this fate in 2010, when they were forced to travel to NFC West champion Seattle. And we all know how that turned out.
"It is playing an important game with regards to the division," Payton said. "It's a Sunday night game at home, those are things that you get excited about. I think at this point in the year playing in a division race like we are, I think both teams will be ready and excited.
"I don't think it's a game where you have to worry about whether teams are going to be fired up to play."

When we first heard about the delay of Watch Dogs last October, Ubisoft talked about one of the biggest reasons for it was the need for more polish.
Today, Dominic Guay talked about what exactly polish means to the development team and all of the incredible depth they plan on having in this game.
"We produced an insane amount of animations and behaviors for the citizens of our Chicago. But once you do a lot of playtests you realize there are certain parts of the city where players go more than others.
"So look at it and we say, OK, there's all these things happening in the city that many players may never see, there's those areas they're going in, and maybe if we had more variety there it would be better. It's impossible to plan that a year ahead.
"You need to do it, see it, make an adjustment, iterate on it. So we actually produced more content that would fit into the areas where the players went more, moved content around a little bit, looked at it again, played it again. Iterating on this huge of a game takes a while. It takes weeks for anyone to get through our game," Guay said.
So this doesn't just seem to be mean better visuals, but a more alive Chicago from an AI standpoint. Other open-world games are known for having AI that behaves based on your actions and it's great when that behavior is random and unique.
Guay continued on with examples, talking about how they have added depth to character interactions within the city of Chicago.
"Here's a quick example. We've always had the ability for the player – for Aiden – to hack into an NPC's communication device – basically, their headset, to block them from calling in reinforcements. We actually used a variation of that in the first demo we showed at E3, where Aiden hacked in the communications system and disrupts a bouncer from talking with someone on the phone.
"We had discussions about that, but we never implemented other ways of hacking into that system. But we also wanted the hacking of the headset to be useful in combat. Someone had an idea a while ago: What if we had high-pitch, high-volume sound push into those headset? How would someone react to that?
"You can imagine how someone would react to that while he's shooting a gun or is in cover or while he's preparing to throw a grenade! So we added that in, it created a lot of new emergent moments, a lot of new ways for the player to be smart with hacking.
"But there's a difference between that – which is a variation on something we'd already done and had been discussing for a while – and starting to add all sorts of new, weird ideas. We didn't go there. We didn't think that was needed. The game has so many new features, it was really about making those features work well, work smartly and adapt to the kind of players who play the game," Guay said.
We'll all get the chance to find out whether or not the polish was worth the wait when Watch Dogs finally releases this coming May 27th.
Cheers, Ubisoft.

Enjoy a French meal in honor of the 70th anniversary of D-Day, also known as the Battle of Normandy. The public is invited. Two award-winning Normandy chefs will join forces to serve a Normandy feast at 6 p. m. on June 6th, 2014.
Honoring the significance of this historic event, the Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC) will serve classic Normandy dishes from Executive Chef Philippe Boulot and Dominique Geulin, Owner and Master Baker of St. Honoré Boulangerie.
Chef Boulot will prepare the savory dishes for the evening. Boulot has been the recipient of many awards, including the Officer in the National Order of Agricultural Merit (Ordre National du Mérite Agricole) in October 2011, a distinction he is the first and only Northwest chef to receive, and the "Chevalier de l'Ordre du Merite Agricole," or Knight of the Order of Agricultural Merit in July 2004 from the Ambassador of France. He was also honored with the James Beard Best Chef Pacific Northwest award in 2001 and the Chef of the Year award from the Academie Culinaire de France in 2005.
St. Honoré Boulangerie will present Tarte Flambée from St. Honoré Division Chef du Partie Alex Town and dessert from Pastry Chef Emily Shipp. St. Honoré Owner and Master Baker Dominique Geulin received the Meilleur Ouvrier de France honor in 1990 and was recently awarded the Vigneron d'Honneur for this philanthropy in support of nonprofit activities in Portland's French-American community.
The 3-course meal will take place at the MAC. Reservations cost $55 per person for food and gratuity, with drinks available separately for purchase, and can be made by visiting the Alliance Francaise website here.

I'm just a guy with a camera who's turning his fetish into an art form.
Most people appreciate the time one takes to put the extra care in something as simple as their nails. Some categorize it as a fetish, some just simply like the look.
This website mainly focuses on close-up shots of well kept together nails of different women of California.
There seems to be a pedicure shop on ever other corner here in California so this is dedicated to all the shops who are keeping those nails in tip top shape!
We appreciate it LOL.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- The Florida Supreme Court has reversed the murder conviction and death sentence of a learning disabled man because police coerced his confession.
The 5-2 ruling Thursday ordered a new trial for 23-year-old Randall Deviney. He's charged with slitting the throat of a Jacksonville neighbor, 65-year-old Delores Futrell, in 2008.
The majority wrote that police violated his right to remain silent by continuing to question him after he told them he was "done" and wanted to leave. Police then formally arrested him but failed to advise him a second time of his right to remain silent. Instead, they repeatedly questioned him until he confessed.
Chief Justice Ricky Polston and Justice Charles Canady dissented.
Authorities said the victim used to fix meals for Deviney and he did odd jobs for her.

Icahn Wants to Replace Oshkosh Directors
Carl Icahn says he plans to elect six of his own director candidates to the 13-member board of Oshkosh Corp.
Icahn recently starting buying shares of Oshkosh and of another trucking company, Navistar International. Until now, he hasn't said anything publicly about his intentions.
Icahn owns about 9.5% of Oshkosh's outstanding stock.
UPDATE: Oshkosh says it will "review Mr. Icahn's notice" and the company said its board will "consider the nominations in due course." And Oshkosh hired a crop of advisers with a track record of warding off unwanted shareholder advances. Those advisers are Goldman Sachs; and law firms Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; and Foley & Lardner.

Back to the topic at hand. In my opinion we should have done border, port and visa/passport security in 2002. However, the powers that be decided it was more important to fund going to war in Iraq. And since that was going to send the budget into the red, our security took second place.

DakotaBorn, I am one of those who's noticed the decades-old sieve at the border. It is the fault of those who would erase our borders if possible: globalists whose goals are not as easily met with a US interested in its sovereignty.
Yep, Republicans and Democrats alike.
So should we practice isolationism? No, but enforcing existing immigration laws would have been appropriate for some time now.
I give credit to those who've entered this country legally (good for them!) and give no credit to any who perpetuate illegal immigration, for whatever reason.
IF we are a country of laws, we should see them at work in border security and legal immigration. If laws are created to circumvent a secure border and to promote illegal immigration, that's a bad law that was passed. Yes, even in 2008.
No documentation, deport - just like it happens in most developed countries all over the world.

"give me your tired, you poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" Where did I hear this before? But, what is the name of that law that was passed almost unanimously by the House and Senate in 2008? "The W.W. Trafficking Victims Reauthorization Act of 2008." So, this is a bad law or there is no reason for the law? These people are just flooding the US and we can use this as a political foil instead of working on solutions. Following are some c/p facts on the situation. Take note of the increases in requests to other countries. Maybe if the immigration bill in Boehnor's desk were allowed to be debated in the House, a solution could be worked on. But the "do-nothing" House still does NOTHING.

Re: Opening Statement
"It was a difficult game for us. I thought we battled in the first half. In the third quarter, we struggled to score the basketball; I thought our ball movement was stagnant. They got out on the break, came out very aggressive and put us back on our heels. When we were missing shots, they got out on the fastbreak, got some layups and some easy ones."
Re: Tonight's Play
"We didn't shoot the basketball well from the perimeter, we struggled from behind the arc tonight. We did a good job on the glass. We gave 19 points on basically 18 turnovers, and 32 points in the fourth quarter. We were struggling to score, so we thought we needed to open up the floor for Chris [Paul] and we had a little cushion in the fourth quarter when we got the lead."
Re: Garnett's 4th quarter shot
"[Kevin] Garnett hit a big shot down the stretch, a fadeaway I thought we guarded pretty well, we contested it. With Paul Pierce on the isolation, I thought we did a good job, [Kevin] Garnett just hit a big shot."
Re: DeAndre Jordan's Play
"I thought he was very active. He probably should have played more. When they [Boston] went small in the second half it was hard because we were struggling to score. But I did like DeAndre's [Jordan] activity and his energy was very good. That's what we need from him every night."
Chris Paul
RE: Reasons for tonight's loss
"We weren't getting enough stops. We didn't push them up to transition. It's tough that we can't close games out. They defended us really well and forced us into some tough shots. We just have to get better."
RE: What to improve
"We have to start limiting their easy shots. We gave them some layups, a lot of threes, and a lot of foul shots. I need to make shots, limit turnovers, and defend better."
Clippers Guard Mo Williams
RE: Tonight's difficulties
"They contested every shot. Playing against them over the years and in the playoffs, that's how they make it happen. We got out and ran around a little bit and turned the ball over a little too much, but overall it was a well-played game."
RE: Clippers' defense
"We're still trying to figure it out, so it's a work in progress. We're just searching, looking for every part of the game to come together. The fourth quarter is all about getting stops and everything like that."

Figure ground is a public realm artist development agency.
We have been working to research current public realm practice across the South East and have coordinated a number of artist's residencies/network events.
Throughout 2011, we have been working on 'Track Changes', an Arts Council England funded research and organisational development project.
This has included visiting a number of public realm organisations to see how they organize themselves, share ideologies, build networks across the south east and drink tea. These organisations include Artangel, Banner Repeater, Fernymwoods Contemporary, PlaCE (UWE), Stour Space, LV21, and Medway Council (INSITE project).
We also organized a collaborative artists residency on the LV21 a lightship in Gillingham, for 20 artists and are currently working with IN-SITE ( Medway Council's major public realm commission series) as artist mentors.
The team includes artists - Jon Adams, Jo Thomas, Katy Beinart, Jack Brown and Laura Krikke.

The Book of Kings; The King Family's Contribution to the History of Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia
ISBN13:by Unknown
Trade Book

The Book of Kings is much more than a portrait of a pioneer family; it is actually another history of Bristol viewed from a different angle. It would be virtually impossible to write a complete history of this city without including a record of the pioneer King family. Likewise, it would be very difficult to write of this family and not become involved in general Bristol history.

- December 27, 2013
( 220)
Top Developer
This apk is no longer used and has been be phased out.
Bought this apk? Please read What's New / Recent Changes (below) for details.
Nice app but needs more Would give 5 stars if it could load photos from my desktop pc via wifi. Please take it into account for next update.
This did the five three fake out. Said sale 99 cent. They charge me 2 dollars, gave me the run around for 99.cent. Thieves.
Thanks devs (NOT).. "What's New" says you're working on a solution for the old Dayframe PAID customers...for three years?? Nice..
Bugs galore But has potential. Been going through and chatting with support but the crashes are getting annoying. Unfortunately I will be uninstalling. Maybe I'll come back after some updates. Beware with nexus 4.4 and nexus 7 v1
Good so far. Some feature requests. This app just gave a new purpose to my old tablet collecting dust. Suggesting some features that would be nice: 1. Option to disable animation. Causing mild stutters in my old tab. 2. Option to set location of weather manually. 3. Option to always show date/time/weather. Currently it only shows it once while tapping and then disappears (only time remains). 4. Configurable location of date/time/weather (Top Right/Top Left/Bottom Right/Bottom Left/Top Center/Bottom Center).
One of the best android apps! If you're wanting a slideshow app, this one is worth every penny and then some! Works great on my Moto X running Kit Kat.
What's New
Thank you for purchasing Dayframe Prime.
If you purchased this Prime unlocker, it will continue to work for you and give you all of the same features new user get with the In App Purchase.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities are investigating a double shooting at an apartment complex near the University of Central Florida.
Orange County deputies say 20-year-old Vincent Cruz and 19-year-old Antwon Ollis were both shot Monday night and drove themselves away from the scene. They later met up with authorities and were taken to the hospital.
The victims are students at Valencia College students. Their injuries are not life threatening.
WKMG TV reports the shooting happened on the first day of the new semester.
It's unclear whether the victims knew the shooter or if the crime was random.

And the winner is #96, Yaniris – congratulations! Watch your inbox for a message from us.
Last Easter my middle daughter spent the entire afternoon and evening in her bed suffering from a horrible migraine.
While family and friends sat at my dining room table, my husband and I went back and forth in shifts, staying with Mary while she agonized through the headache. It was no fun for any of us, especially my daughter. Of course, I could trace the headache back to that morning–an Easter basket filled with candy and chocolate, one of her biggest headache triggers.
So this Easter I'm doing things a little differently. While I'm not completely anti-candy, I am a huge fan of Easter baskets that go pretty easy on the sugar. And that is why I'm a huge fan of Mattel's adorable campaign to Save the Chocolate Easter Bunny!!
Yes, we must do our part to save the beloved chocolate bunny from extinction, my friends. That's why it's our duty, as protectors of the chocolate bunny, to give the gift of toys this Easter. We must fill those baskets with creative toys and games which will last long beyond the days (hours?!) it takes our kids to devour their sugar-filled basket of candy. Can I get an Amen?!
Okay, okay, while I'm totally in love with this cute campaign, in all seriousness, I think it's a great effort to cut back on the sugar a wee bit. Let's give our kids fun and exciting things in their baskets Easter morning that encourage long-lasting play and creativity. And rescuing the chocolate bunnies? That's just icing on the cake. (Bad sugar jokes, I know.)
So, we're here to give you a major head start on your sugar-free Easter basket shopping. We've teamed up with Mattel to deliver a fun Easter basket chock full of fun toys. One very lucky BabyCenter Blog reader will win this girlie Mattel gift basket stuffed with toys, dolls, games and DVDs. Check out the slideshow below to see some of the great things you'll find inside. Then, leave a comment on this post and let us know some of your favorite non-candy things to give in your kids' Easter baskets. Comments will close on Saturday March 9th and the winner will be announced at the top of this post on Sunday! Good luck!
Here are few of the gifts you'll find in your basket (*please note some of the dolls may not be exactly as pictured*)
Keep up with all things Mattel by following them on Facebook and Twitter.
Disclaimer: This post is part of a sponsorship on BabyCenter. I received product for the purpose of this review.
Rules: U.S. residents only. No purchase necessary. Contest not open to employees of BabyCenter, Mattel, and their families. Winner must reply to claim prize within 72 hours of receiving the email notifying them they have won. No cash value will be exchanged for prize value. Please expect 2-3 weeks for delivery of prize.

The 4th of July is just two days away and with America's birthday falling on a Friday this year most people are planning to make the holiday weekend an extended one. Of course it just wouldn't be the 4th without a good barbecue, hanging out with family and friends and of course fireworks!
According to a freep.com report on July 2 fireworks displays from New York to San Diego are scheduled to take place over the next three days and will be viewed by an estimated 4 to 5 million spectators. One of the biggest displays every year is the annual Macy's fireworks in New York. The show will get underway around 9 p.m. ET at the Brooklyn Bridge/East River area. If you are interested in attending the show you can click here for more information.
Locally there are plenty of shows to see here in Michigan. There are four major shows tonight (July 2) hosted by the cities of Crystal, Dearborn, Harrison Township and Hart, Michigan. If you can't make it out tonight or don't live near any of those cities don't worry. Over the next four days, and actually most of the summer, there are a lot of free fireworks displays happening in and around a city close to you.
There are 41 more cities here in the Great Lakes State that plan to have a fireworks show on July 3, while 143 more will join in on the act on the 4th. For a full description and to see when and where a fireworks show will be near you be sure to check out Michiganfireworks.com.
While fireworks are great to watch, they can be dangerous so if you are doing your own always read the directions first and be sure to keep a hose or bucket of water near just in case it's needed.
Have a great 4th of July everyone, and remember to be safe!

You can't please everyone these days! Even after reporting revenue that exceeded analyst expectations for the first quarter of its 2014 fiscal year, shares of LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD) fell 8% because of higher costs that depressed its profitability. Now, with shares in the social media behemoth trading at a 40%+ discount to its 52-week high, is the company hard to pass up? Should you look to Monster Worldwide (NYSE:MWW) for more attractive returns?
LinkedIn's revenue beat but earnings fell far short!
For the quarter, LinkedIn reported revenue of $473.2 million. In addition to being higher than the $466.6 million forecasted by analysts, the company's revenue is 46% above the $324.7 reported in the same quarter a year earlier. Although all the company's areas of operation performed well, the largest contributor to its rise in revenue was the talent solutions line, which saw its sales increase by 50% from $184.3 million to $275.9 million.
In terms of revenue, LinkedIn did quite well for itself, but when you look at the company's bottom line, there's a pretty good chance you'll be left scratching your head. For the quarter, the social network reported a loss per share of $0.11. On top of being far lower than the $0.20 gain the company reported last year, its net loss was way below the $0.34 Mr. Market expected to see. This disappointing figure came from a number of things, but the most notable was stock-based compensation that totaled $67.8 million.
But is Monster Worldwide any better?
Over the past four years, LinkedIn has seen tremendous growth. Between 2010 and 2013, the company's revenue grew 1,173% from $120.1 million to $1.5 billion. This top-line growth has been due, in part, to the 206% jump in registered user count from 90.4 million to 276.8 million but should also be chalked up to the company's array of products such as its talent solutions and premium subscriptions.
This increase in sales for the business is far better than what Monster Worldwide has seen. Over the past four years, Monster Worldwide's revenue dropped 12% from $914.1 million to $807.6 million. This decrease in revenue came from declines in two of the company's three segments.
Between 2010 and 2013, its careers-international segment saw sales drop 20% from $360.8 million to $288.6 million, while the company's Internet advertising & fees segment saw revenue plummet 45% from $131.1 million to $72.7 million. The decline in sales in its careers-international segment can be chalked up to weak economic conditions in Asia and Europe, as well as foreign-currency impacts. Monster Worldwide's Internet advertising & fees segment attributed its fall to a change in business strategy in light of new regulations and lackluster margins.
From a revenue perspective, you can see LinkedIn is the more attractive prospect. This also holds true when investors look at the company's profits. Between 2010 and 2013, LinkedIn saw its net loss of $4 million turn into a gain of $26.8 million. In spite of being negatively affected by a rise in selling, general and administrative expenses, LinkedIn reported improvements in its cost of revenue, which fell from 21.6% of sales to 13.3% and its research and development, which dropped from 32.8% of sales to 25.9%.
Monster Worldwide also reported an increase in its bottom line, but its numbers don't look as reliable. Over the past four years, the company's net loss of $32.4 million narrowed to a loss of $0.5 million, but it's important to keep in mind that changes in tax benefits and liabilities as well as a loss from discontinued operations in 2012 has made the company's bottom line pretty volatile.
Foolish takeaway
Based on the data provided, it's easy to see why Mr. Market was unhappy with LinkedIn's performance. Despite reporting strong revenue, the company's bottom line was pretty disappointing. Moving forward, it will be interesting to see how the company fares, but for investors intent on a social media/employment-seeking business, LinkedIn seems to be a better prospect than Monster Worldwide.
Top dividend stocks for the next decade
One way to protect yourself against the downside of companies like LinkedIn is to buy shares of dividend-paying stocks. These businesses provide investors with less volatility and still continue rewarding you no matter what their stock does.
The smartest investors know that dividend stocks simply crush their non-dividend paying counterparts over the long term. That's beyond dispute. They also know that a well-constructed dividend portfolio creates wealth steadily, while still allowing you to sleep like a baby. Knowing how valuable such a portfolio might be, our top analysts put together a report on a group of high-yielding stocks that should be in any income investor's portfolio.

With less one than one month to go, scores of public and private sector organizations have confirmed their support for SOFEX 2008, cementing its position as one of Jordan's leading international events, which attracts thousands of participants from all around the world representing the defense industry's most renowned and leading manufacturers, in addition to government delegations from the Middle East and North Africa, around the world and a large contingent of international media. Due to the large international presence at each SOFEX edition, the event has proven to be an ideal opportunity for the Jordanian Armed Forces and Jordanian companies and organizations to showcase their capabilities as well as meet and network with leading foreign companies and delegations from every corner of the globe. SOFEX is held under the Patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II, the supervision of HRH Prince Feisal, Chairman of the Board of SOFEX and enjoys the support of the Jordan Armed Forces. The importance of SOFEX is further demonstrated by the fact that over 29 local entities are sponsoring and supporting this year's event including the Amman Municipality, the King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB), Orange/Jordan Telecom Group, Skynet, Royal Jordanian Airlines, Le Royal Hotel, LG, CNS Primus, Jordan Tourism Board (JTB), Radisson SAS Hotel, MIDAS, Jordan Kuwait Bank, JorMall, MDS, Paramount, Northrop Grumman, DRS, Salem Security, JLVM-LCDR, Arab Orient, Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC), AICI, Gerber/Silva, Motorola, General Dynamics and M.S Jaffar and Sons amongst others.Amer Tabbah, Managing Director of SOFEX, said, "We are thrilled that SOFEX has already attracted more than 29 of the Kingdom's leading companies to sponsor the event and we are very grateful to each of the Jordanian as well as the International companies who have showed their support. One of SOFEX's goals is the promotion of Jordan and its capabilities in both the private and public sectors as well acting as an opportunity for the hundreds of participants to visit the rich touristic sites during the show. Each and every sponsor will play a significant role in helping to make SOFEX 2008 a success."Mr. Tabbah continued to say that "Throughout the years, SOFEX has played a major role in enhancing the Jordanian economy through the numerous local and international agreements that were signed during the event. The exhibition has proved to be an ideal atmosphere to forge partnerships between international and local manufacturers." He added, "SOFEX is also an opportunity to benefit from the advanced technologies being exhibited in order to attract investments to Jordan in both the defence and services industry. We look forward to SOFEX 2008 being a success in terms of the business deals and partnerships that are established, and we also hope it generates a considerable amount of revenue for the Jordanian economy, with hotels, restaurants and various other local businesses benefiting substantially from this year's participants."SOFEX 2008 is an exclusive four-day event that will commence with a one-day "Middle East Special Operations Commanders Conference", followed by a three day comprehensive state-of-the-art exhibition.<

The grind of an underground, unsigned artist is an unforgiving one. Combine that with the struggles a woman faces in this world already and you wouldn't be wrong for asking why someone like Persia hasn't stopped yet. In spite of setbacks and obstacles in the road Far Rockaway's femme fatale refuses to stop. As any true artist does Persia has adapted her creative process to reflect what has been on her mind and her heart. That is what we get with The Love Tape, an unscheduled detour from what we're used to and a peak at the somewhat softer side of Persia.
Aside from the talk of the streets and the embarrassing state of the lady MC in the hip hop mainstream what else is on P's mind? Well it would seem that behind all the bravado and charisma we have an old school romantic who's struggling with the past, present and future of her love life. Persia's rugged exterior and commanding tone rule on "Act Right" as she gives stern warning to the men taking their partners for granted. This acts as the perfect set up for "Let Me Know" . The fed up anthem of the lady leaving for good resonates on many levels for those that are out of 2nd chances to give.
In the midst of that we get a lot of positive moments full of love and romance that represents the world Persia desires. It's the light at the end of the tunnel that tracks like "The One" and the laid back, easy riding "Love Me" reveal to the listener. My personal favorite is the stand out Persia Room. The haunting chorus wraps around the true moments of clarity that Persia is sharing with the world. It's a honest declaration of the personal demons she's fought and continues to battle.
I think balance is the ideal description for the Love Tape. It's one half frustration and one half hope. This is a very humanizing project. Persia is often on 100 and she doesn't apologize for it. What the Love Tape does is give a little context to what we get on the Internets from her. Like everyone else she wants to be happy while pursuing her passion.
The Love Tape drops on Valentine's day. Pick it up as a little reminder to do right by the person you have.

Abode-ing Well
Maile Pingel | Photo: Ethan Pines | July 29, 2013
Interior designer Kristin Tutor Eberts and her husband, Christopher, give tradition a fresh take with their Holmby Hills home.
The woven mat at the front door says it all: Welcome. Though impeccably grand, this Holmby Hills estate, built by architect John Elgin Woolf in 1937, is a family home—and a fun one, at that.
"We bought the home about four years ago and began restoring its original beauty," says Kristin Tutor Eberts of the Hollywood Georgian she shares with her husband, film producer and entrepreneur Christopher Eberts, and their daughters, Stella Rose and Winter Violet. "I wanted to keep the sophistication of Woolf's design but make it more livable." So, using a gentle touch, Tutor Eberts, who owned clothing boutiques on upscale Montana Avenue in Santa Monica before launching her interior design studio, Tutor Eberts Design, set to work renovating the residence and its gardens. To the outside she added stonework, layered hedges and topiaries; inside she installed streamlined moldings, replaced the central stair's banister with a French-inspired bronze railing, built out closets, appended a window and created a sunken seating area in the media room. With these tweaks the home "now accommodates a contemporary lifestyle," she says. A lifestyle very much suited to living large.
Situated on a flat, extremely private lot on one of the neighborhood's most coveted streets, the nine-bedroom house counts Art Linkletter and Henry Mancini among its former owners. And yet, for a 12,000-square-foot dwelling, it feels remarkably cozy, largely due to Tutor Eberts' clever tailoring of space.
Old Hollywood charm greets guests at the front door, which opens to a dramatic foyer, with a gray-and-white marble floor and an oval ceiling decorated with Adam-style plasterwork. A right turn takes you into the dining room, where art deco mingles with '70s-era cool, while a twist left leads down two steps into an enfilade of generously proportioned, sun-filled living rooms. "I had three large living spaces in a row—two formal and one family—that needed to be defined," says Tutor Eberts, who found her solution in color, texture and monumental artworks. Each distinct room is richly layered in all three, and visually and tangibly satisfying. Moving through the house avails one delightful touch after another: mirrors, velvet, wood, bronze, shagreen and Lucite; Warhol silk screens; John Dickinson tables; guitars signed by legendary rockers; and a wall of Muybridge photographs.
Just off the primary living room, with its boldly hued furnishings, is the library, now the designer's office. "It's my creative space," Tutor Eberts explains. "It bothered me that every house has a brown wood library, so I went for black-lacquered walls and a white crocodile ceiling." (In keeping with her knack for defining space, the adjacent bathroom offers precisely the reverse color scheme.) Not surprisingly, the tastemaker, who grew up in Hidden Hills and studied art at USC, considers art, fashion and music to be her greatest influences. All of these forces meet in the office, which she's filled with books, photography (including two portraits of Bob Dylan), a Buddha statue, guitars and vintage radios.
The upstairs is largely devoted to a master suite and a wing for the owners' daughters, whose grown-up rooms reflect their parents' desire to expose the girls to the arts at an early age. But it's not all seriousness. Of Stella's fuchsia-colored walls, Tutor Eberts smiles and says, "I'm not really into pastels."
Across the landing, the couple's suite is "the most masculine area in the house." For this space, Tutor Eberts picked a sophisticated palette of neutrals and materials—stone, metal, fur and wood—to suggest strength. The space also holds a lacquered walk-in closet befitting a woman passionate about her wardrobe. There's an efficient little kitchenette, too, hidden behind a paneled door just steps from the bed, a custom design by longtime family friend Charles Hollis Jones. The home, but particularly these rooms (bedroom, study and sitting area), is the result of a collaborative effort with her husband. "Christopher is extremely creative and had his voice in the design," she says. "We see eye to eye and it's been fun to develop things together. We've enjoyed the process. Although I did get the last say!"
Just off the master suite is a sprawling terrace overlooking the lawn, pool and guesthouse, which also houses a gym—an important part of the couple's active lifestyle. (But this is no ordinary gym: Equipment has been powder-coated to create a cohesive visual effect.) The gated side yard, meanwhile, is the children's domain, boasting its own Woolf-style playhouse and linking directly to the family room off the kitchen. Before the couple moved to Holmby Hills, they owned a midcentury modern house in Bel Air, which, recalls Tutor Eberts, "was beautiful and special but wasn't right for a family. It was very important for me to give my children a great family home with open spaces to play." In doing so, the designer has given herself the same.
"It was time for me to move on and to broaden my experiences," says Tutor Eberts of what inspired her foray into design, where she's in full control of the artistic process, a freedom that has led to a forthcoming line of home furnishings. "It was wonderful to make a home that resembles me and my family. But what I love most about this house is its dual purpose: It's a quiet retreat for us and also great for entertaining. It's modern and elegant, but functional." And it's that style of living—a friendly kind of glamour—that clients are requesting. The designer recently finished a home in West Hollywood, is at work on a lake house and is starting a project in Beverly Hills.
"I fell in love with this house the moment I walked in," Tutor Eberts says. "It feels lived-in now, and I like that. Every client should feel like I do when they come home."

Hey all, long time gamer here I started out pen and paper with D&D when I was in grade school and graduated slowly through Atari, to PCs to gaming rigs these days, now I'm just trying to maintain what I have so everyone in my family can play. I've played UO, EQ, WOW, DAOC, and probably many others I don't remember but now I am playing Neverwinter and am enjoying it, I may be just playing while waiting for ESO to come out but I may stay with NW completely if I get really invested in it.
I'm 41, Married for 12 years, have 2 young children that are getting into gaming, and yes my wife plays too, but she is going to get her master's degree so not much play time for her in the next few years.
I'm on the east coast and usually play between 7 and 9 when I can find the time to get on. I currently have a level 56 Trickster rogue on the dragon server of NW. Looking to find some friends to play with and have fun.
