St. Louis Mayoral Candidates in Heated Debate
ST. LOUIS (AP) - The first St. Louis mayoral debate is over, and it was a heated one.
The three Democratic candidates - incumbent Francis Slay, Aldermanic President Lewis Reed and former Alderman Jimmie Matthews - squared off Tuesday night at the Central Library Auditorium. The primary election is March 5 and the general election April 2. No Republicans, but one third party candidate, are running.
Slay cited the accomplishments of his 12 years in office, including efforts to rebuilding neighborhoods and make the city more tolerant. But both Reed and Matthews attacked the mayor's record. Reed said the crime rate is too high, corporations have left and Lambert Airport has declined.

text: The dependence on cash never stops to be present. Even so, occasionally this particular need goes beyond limits and one gets into such a predicament where asking for that additional money becomes critical. In such situations when the requirement is immediate you can be confident that best payday loans are able to make the problem a lot more manageable. The whole process of obtaining this kind of personal loan isn't really difficult. Our company is available on the internet and what a customer needs to do is complete a short application form providing data such as home address, bank account details, work details and also the regular monthly income. These details are essential for the provider to evaluate the total amount that could be offered to the client. To reveal the data of the banking account or a credit card isn't regarded as safe by a lot of people. The best payday loans companies, however, will not disclose such crucial information. We keep the name as well as identity of the client a secret too. Make sure that you look for a reliable company to do business with. The return sum is probably the main point that a customer should think about prior to starting any deal. The reliable providers support that for their customers. They determine the actual return sum providing every piece of information on the rate of interest and also the fee applied. Additionally, they give you a payment date by which the customer must return the funds plus the interest. The best payday loans agencies will offer better solutions to get more customers. The beauty of these firms is the fact that customer doesn't need to deal with issues of locating a decent provider all around the place he or she lives in. Occasionally it happens that banking institutions don't agree to these kinds of financial loans fast and incorporate a lot paperwork. Furthermore they impose fees and taxes that increase the return sum. At times the rates of interest will also be low in these kinds of agencies. The company, however, needs to be validated by the customer. The client ought to pay attention to specific details prior to getting a loan from that specific organization. First of all it must be a secured website that makes use of software that will cope with privacy issues and keep data private. Then the provider needs to be clear in regards to the return money. Absolutely no hidden costs should be involved. After that there has to be a customer service department that may help the customer at any time.

I know that's a nice thing to hear and all, but there's no point telling white lies to yourself.

You're wrong brochacho.
As PT Williams noted: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2730190/
High intensity training works better for abdominal fat because it is more effective at creating changes in metabolic rate as opposed to just burning calories with low intensity training. Like I said before, belly fat is a result of dietary factors along with a whole host of other things.

I don't like it. The color of the pants is a very summer'y' color and the color of the sweater is a very autumn color. They don't pair up well. I'd suggest putting those pants away until May and when you wear them in May, wear subtle color shirts, such as white or blue and then throw on a navy blazer and you're set.

Easy in the sense that you just stated that it's caused by overeating. My response was to not overeat and it won't be a problem. Mix in some exercise and your problem is solved. It's far less complicated that people believe it to be. The fix isn't the hard part, it's people's willingness to do it.

NO. Visceral adipose tissue is DIFFERENT than flabby subcutaneous fat on your legs, arms, face, and over your abs. It's caused by overeating AND other factors, such as high levels of cortisol. It is harder to get rid of than subcutaneous fat which is why you see men with big, hard bellies but skinny legs.

I've had a pair 5 years now and 30,000 miles. They were water proof for the first year. Now after 5 years, I've had to replace the front zipper and they are sun damaged to burgundy and the fabric is starting to split. I would buy a second pair.

This is my second pair of Venture Air pants. I ride year round in the wet of the Pacific NW. This outfit, with it's various liners, keeps me out in weather ranging from mid 30s (F) all the way up to 110F (haven't had to go above that yet). I'm usually wearing my work attire, shorts, under them with no problems. Waterproof/windproof liner does it's job as does the insulator on cold days. Reflective piping is very bright. Weak points are the main zipper (broke after 2 yrs on my first pair), and the velcro wears out if you undo it a lot. Thankfully, I haven't given them the ultimate abrasion test, but I will let you know if I do. Ride safe!

Elyana is an elven adventurer devoted to helping innocents escape the madness of revolutionary Galt. Together with her band of bold human companions, she is a powerful force for freedom, and one that many Galtan leaders would happily see tied up at the bottom of a guillotine. When one of their allies is gravely injured, it's up to Elyana and the wizard Arcil to buy time by leading the enemy on a wild chase into the dark depths of the Verduran Forest. Yet there may be more than anyone expects lurking beneath the forest's twisted boughs, and evils even greater than Galtan necromancers waiting to be awakened....
From Howard Andrew Jones, celebrated author of Plague of Shadows, comes a story of undeath and redemption set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and featuring characters from Plague of Shadows.

cool script
great storyline and script well done
This is truly one of the best flashes on newgrounds. Also I didn't actually watch it, I just wanted to see if anyone would actually pay attention to a review that isn't rated 0/10 on a popular flash. My review is clearly abusive, but I doubt anyone will read it or vote on it. All of you can gargle my semen. Shitty shitty shit fuck dick, black people, Osama Bin Laden, racial slur, Howard Stern, sodomy. Here's a sentence with an exclamation mark at the end of it to show I'm excited!
In conclusion, make more =D
Plain ass retradism and i love it.
"That one trimmed my nose hairs"
Just above excellent
there was DEFINATLY alot more swearing and DEFINATLY alot less joking around in this tankmen. but the ending DEFINATLY said it all. i loved it.
Style changed?
I didn't remember this much swearing on the other ones. Seems like less jokes are in this one too. :\ But its longer!

Bloomfield Road
Saturday 3rd December
After the midweek disappointment against Leicester, Blackpool look to bounce back and begin the Christmas season in winning fashion tomorrow against an underrated Reading side.
Brian McDermott has done a superb job at the Madjeski, and the Royals go into tomorrow's game just behind Ian Holloway's side.
The Championship table is as tight as ever; a few wins over the festive period would really see us move into the promotion shake-up, but a few defeats would see us enter 2012 on a downer.
It's been a difficult week for the Seasiders; Jonjo Shelvey has been recalled by Liverpool following a season-ending injury to Lucas, whilst it was announced this evening that Keith Southern has been sidelined after having a tumour removed from one of his testicles. Needless to say that Vital send Keith our best wishes and hope that he has a speedy recovery.
Despite that though, 'Pool manager Ian Holloway is very buoyant going into the festive period - believing his current side to be capable of emulating 2010's heroes:
'We are learning that we are a pretty good team. Others are paying us respect by the way they line-up against us and that didn't happen when I first took over. Most opposition managers saw Blackpool as an easy touch almost.
'We have to try and keep evolving. We used to have a very good group of players last year, now we've got a new group who wants to build a reputation for themselves and I think it is coming.
'I think we can look forward to every game this season, and think we have a half-decent chance of winning. That is different to when I first took over.
'Gradually I believe that attitude among the players that we had during the promotion season - the way they'd shrug off going a goal down and just hit back by scoring - will start to come. It has already started. I'm seeing it, and that's all I've wanted since the start of the season.
'The trick now is to keep it going.'
'Pool are stretched at the back; Alex Baptiste is expecting to miss out on tomorrow with a hamstring injury, whilst Craig Cathcart faces a late fitness test. If both miss out, expect Chris Basham to partner Ian Evatt at centre half with Matt Hill coming onto the bench.
Jonjo's departure creates a quandary in both midfield and attack. There are several options for Ollie to pick from, but don't be too surprised to see Angel get the nod.
The livewire striker has spoken today about his desire to break his goalscoring duck at Bloomfield Road.
Hal Robson-Kanu is expected to start, but Jobi McAnuff is suspended.
One of the best wingers in the league. If our full backs bomb on, expect him to exploit the space they leave.
All 34 previous matches between these clubs have been in the league; Blackpool have won 10, Reading 14, with 10 drawn.
Their 7-0 trouncing of the Royals in November 1928, is a club record margin of victory for Blackpool.
The Seasiders are one goal shy of 100 in home matches under Ian Holloway (all comps).
Their six stoppage-time goals is still unequalled in this season's Championship.
The Royals have avoided defeat in 11 of the last 13 Championship matches, which has seen them rise from one off the foot to ninth spot.
Southampton on Sky next Saturday lunchtime.

Mini Bio (1)
Joe Esposito was born in 1938. He first met singer Elvis Presley while they both were in the military in 1958. They both went through basic training at Fort Hood, Texas, but they didn't meet face to face until a year later when they were stationed in West Germany, where they became fast friends. Esposito became Elvis's road manager and bodyguard beginning in 1960 and helped Elvis's aide Marty Lacker with the bookkeeping. It was Esposito who arranged women for Elvis to date. Esposito served as the best man at Elvis's wedding while Esposito's wife, Joan, served as the matron of honor. Esposito also played the guitar for Elvis's recording sessions from 1971 onward. After Elvis's death in 1977, Esposito started his own business, the Sterling Coach Company, a Los Angeles limousine service. He later became the road manager for the Bee Gees. Esposito appeared in several of Elvis's films and portrayed himself in the 1981 movie This Is Elvis.

Finance ministry figures showed the economy suffered a shortfall of 1.63 trillion yen, the worst deficit on record for the month. Comparable data began in 1979. Economists had expected an average shortfall of 1.3 trillion yen. Exports increased 6.4 percent to 4.8 trillion yen, posting the first rise in eight months on higher shipments of automobile parts and other items. But imports rose 7.3 percent to 6.43 trillion yen as imports of petroleum products, natural liquefied gas and crude oil soared. Japan's fuel imports have risen since the 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster sparked the world's worst nuclear accident in a generation, sending most atomic power plants offline. © 1994-2013 Agence France-Presse Share Facebook Share on Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest Read More: japan trade deficit /video/news/07/27/16/coa-mmda-solutions-to-traffic-random-disorganized/video/news/07/27/16/house-minority-leader-dispute-may-reach-sc/news/07/27/16/drug-surrenderee-shot-dead-in-ilocos-norte/video/business/07/27/16/dole-aims-to-cut-contractualization-cases-by-half/opinions/07/27/16/opinion-as-simple-as-that

|April 18, 2013 07:01 AM EDT
NEW ORLEANS, April 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) today indicated that it expects first quarter 2013 as-reported earnings of approximately $0.89 per share and operational earnings of approximately $0.93 per share. Results for first quarter 2012 were a loss of $0.86 per share on an as-reported basis and earnings of $0.44 per share on an operational basis. Entergy also affirmed previously issued operational earnings guidance for 2013.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120913/MM74349LOGO)
As-reported results are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are comprised of operational earnings (described below) and special items. Special items were recorded for:
- an impairment in connection with the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant in first quarter 2012 and
- expenses associated with the proposed spin-off and merger of Entergy's electric transmission business with ITC Holdings Corp. in the first quarters of 2012 and 2013.
The increase in first quarter 2013 earnings was driven by higher results at Utility and Entergy Wholesale Commodities, which was partially offset by lower results at Parent and Other.
The increase in Utility first quarter 2013 operational earnings was driven by higher net revenue and lower income tax expense. The improvement in Utility net revenue reflected pricing adjustments due primarily to nuclear and combined cycle natural gas-fired generation investments in 2012. These resources provide clean and efficient generation for the benefit of customers. Both periods had negative weather effects. However, weather in first quarter 2013 was not as mild as the comparable year period, resulting in an increase in as-reported retail volume, which was also reflected in the higher net revenue.
The lower income tax expense was driven by a prior period item. First quarter 2012 income tax expense included a non-cash adjustment to write off a regulatory asset for income taxes to appropriately align the financial accounting treatment with the regulatory treatment of income taxes for certain items.
Partially offsetting these items were increases in non-fuel operation and maintenance and depreciation expenses.
Entergy Wholesale Commodities
The quarter-over-quarter increase in earnings at Entergy Wholesale Commodities was due to an increase in net revenue driven by higher nuclear energy and capacity pricing. Partially offsetting was an increase in nuclear refueling and unplanned outage days. Refueling days at the Indian Point 3 and Vermont Yankee nuclear plants totaled 50 days in the current quarter, compared to 27 refueling days at Indian Point 2 in first quarter 2012.
Parent & Other
Parent & Other's operational results declined during the quarter due to several individually insignificant items.
Earnings Guidance
Entergy affirmed its previously issued 2013 operational earnings guidance to be in the range of $4.60 to $5.40 per share. The revised 2013 as-reported guidance of $4.56 to $5.36 per share reflects the first quarter special item for expenses associated with the proposed spin-off and merger of the transmission business with ITC noted above. The as-reported guidance range will be updated throughout the year as these transaction-related expenses are incurred.
Entergy will report first quarter earnings results before the market opens on Thursday, April 25, 2013, and host a teleconference at 10 a.m. CT that day to discuss the earnings announcement. The teleconference may be accessed by dialing (719) 457-2080, confirmation code 9708842, no more than 15 minutes prior to the start of the call. The call and presentation slides can also be accessed via Entergy's website at www.entergy.com. A replay of the teleconference will be available for seven days thereafter by dialing (719) 457-0820, confirmation code 9708842.
Entergy Corporation, which celebrates its 100th birthday this year, is an integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations. Entergy owns and operates power plants with approximately 30,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, including more than 10,000 megawatts of nuclear power, making it one of the nation's leading nuclear generators. Entergy delivers electricity to 2.8 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Entergy has annual revenues of more than $10 billion and approximately 15,000 employees.

This application claims the benefits of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/365,653, filed Mar. 18, 2002, and entitled "Dynamic Multi-channel Power Equalizer and Regulator and Variable Attenuator Optical Drop/Add Port," which is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes. This application is related to U.S. application Ser. No. 10/038,079 filed Jan. 02, 2002, and entitled "Electrically Controlled Variable Optical Attenuator with Potentiometer," which is hereby incorporated by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention is generally related to the area of optical communications. In particular, the invention is related to a method and apparatus for regulating optical channel signals with specified wavelengths.
2. The Background of Related Art
The future communication networks demand ever increasing bandwidths and flexibility to different communication protocols. DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is one of the key technologies for such optical fiber communication networks. DWDM employs multiple wavelengths or channels in a single fiber to transmit in parallel different communication protocols and bit rates. Transmitting several channels in a single optical fiber at different wavelengths can multi-fold expand the transmission capacity of the existing optical transmission systems, and facilitating many functions in optical networking.
Transmitting several channels in a single optical fiber requires a process of combining several channel signals at different wavelengths to be multiplexed or interleaving a multiplexed into several channel signals. From a terminology's viewpoint, a device that multiplexes different wavelength channels or groups of channels into one fiber is a multiplexer, and a device that divides the multiplexed channels or groups of channels into individual or subgroups of channels is a demultiplexer. Specifically, when a multiplexer combines two streams of spectrum-periodic optical signals into a single, denser spectrum-periodic signal stream, or in reverse, a demultiplexer separates a single spectrum-periodic signal stream into two complementary spectrum-periodic signal streams, such multiplexer/demultiplexer is called an interleaver.
In general, each of the channel signals comes from a different source and may have transmitted over different mediums, resulting in a different power level. Without equalizing the power levels of the channel signals that are to be combined or multiplexed, some channels in a multiplexed signal may be distorted as a result of various stages of processing the multiplexed signal. On the other hand, many optical devices or systems would not function optimally when incoming signals are beyond a predetermined signal level range. In fact, the power of the incoming signals shall not be too low, neither too high. To ensure that all optical devices or systems receive proper levels of optical signals, attenuation devices are frequently used to adjust the optical signals before they reach an optical device.
Many existing optical attenuation devices lack accuracy and have high feedback noise. Some can not adapt to the power changes in the signals being attenuated or the environmental changes. There is, therefore, a need for techniques capable of dynamically attenuating channel signals.
In WDM and dense WDM (DWDM) systems, it is often needed to select a signal with a particular wavelength from a multiplexed signal with a group of wavelengths. This is advantageous in order to drop/add the same or different channel signals at various points within an optical network. Optical add/drop devices are often employed to add/drop one or more of these channel signals. Thus, it is desirable to have an add/drop device capable of attenuating signals added or dropped.
This section is for the purpose of summarizing some aspects of the present invention and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made to avoid obscuring the purpose of the section. Such simplifications or omissions are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The present invention is related to designs of optical devices and methods for regulating optical channel signals with specified wavelengths. According to one aspect of the present invention, a number of variable optical apparatuses are employed. Each of the variable optical apparatuses includes a first and a second optical channel module, referring to as R and T channel module, both configured at a wavelength λl. Each of the variable optical apparatuses further includes an optical regulator (i.e. a neutral density filter controlled by a stepper motor) coupled between the first and second optical channel modules.
When signals with different wavelengths arrive, only the signal with the wavelength λi will transmit through the R-channel module and the rest are reflected off. The signal is then regulated (i.e. attenuated or strengthened) accordingly by the optical regulator before transmitting through the T-channel. Hence, the signals with different wavelengths can be respectively regulated by one of the variable optical apparatuses. As a result, the signals can be well regulated before transmitted to devices or networks.
To provide dynamic regulation of a signal, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a pair of photodetectors are used to measure signal strengths of the signal before and after being regulated by the optical regulator. In addition, a potentiometer is employed to precisely measure a position of the optical regulator (e.g. a neutral density filter) regulating the signal. The measurements from the photodetectors as well as the potentiometer are used to produce one or more control signals that, in turn, control the operation of the stepper motor.
According to another aspect of the present invention, certain configuration of the optical devices are employed to form an optical add/drop device that is, for example, often used to add/drop signals with one or more particular wavelengths in WDM and dense WDM (DWDM) systems.
There are numerous benefits, features, and advantages in the present invention. One of them is the lowest possible back reflection. Reflection of the outgoing signal back to a source (e.g. a transmitter) could lead to feedback noise and can deteriorate the quality of the transmission of the optical signal. Another one of the benefits, features, and advantages in the present invention is the feedback control provided in the user of the photodetectors and/or the potentiometer so as to compensate for some environmental factors such as temperature changes, polarization changes, vibration, and humidity.
Other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon examining the following detailed description of an embodiment thereof, taken in conjunction with the attached drawings.
These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with regard to the following description, appended claims, and accompanying drawings where:
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will become obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. The description and representation herein are the common means used by those experienced or skilled in the art to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. In other Instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, and circuitry have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring aspects of the present invention.
Reference herein to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Further, the order of blocks in process flowcharts or diagrams representing one or more embodiments of the invention do not inherently indicate any particular order nor imply any limitations in the invention.
Embodiments of the present invention are discussed herein with reference to
In particular,
According to one embodiment, the equalizer 100 includes four Reflection/Transmission Variable Optical Attenuators 112, 114, 116 and 118, each being referred to as a RT-VOA herein. To regulate only one wavelength, each RT-VOA is configured to process that wavelength and bypass or reflect other wavelengths. For example, when λ4 is received at RT-VOA 112, the signal at λ4 is transmitted through to be regulated therein accordingly. When λ3 is received at RT-VOA 114, the signal at λ3 is transmitted through, wherein it is regulated accordingly as well. However, the signal λ4 is coupled to RT-VOA 114 that is configured to process λ3 and hence bypasses or reflects λ4 together with λ3 output from RT-VOA 114 to RT-VOA 116. The same processes happen to RT-VOA 116 and RT-VOA 118, respectively, with signals λ2 and λ1. Subsequently, four processed (equalized) signals at λ1, λ2, λ3 and λ4 are output from RT-VOA 118. Nevertheless, it should be noted that only the signal at λ1 has been regulated in RT-VOA 118.
The optical equalizer 100 in
According to one embodiment, the neutral density filter 206 is controlled by the step motor 208 that is further controlled by one or Imore control signals. Depending on implementation and application, the control signals can be provided manually or from a computing device. Again, depending on the control signals that control the step motor 208, the density filter 206 attenuates, regulates or equalizes the signal at λi to a desired level. Detailed description of one embodiment that utilizes a neutral density filter is provided in U.S. Pat. application Ser. No.: 10/038,079. The equalized signal is collected by the following collimator 210 that subsequently couples the equalized signal out of the RT-VOA 200.
Referring now to
To accommodate the need of demultiplexing and multiplexing functions at the same time,
Similar to
Referring now to
The optical equalizer 600 In
Referring now to
The attenuated signal hits the mirror 710 that reflects the signal onto a second grin lens 704 to output a dropped wavelength λ3. Different from the prior art devices, the signal with the dropped wavelength can be dynamically regulated according to a need. For completeness,
The present invention has been described in sufficient details with a certain degree of particularity. It is understood to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure of embodiments has been made by way of examples only and that numerous changes in the arrangement and combination of parts may be resorted without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed. For example, the variable neutral density filter may be replaced by another device that can strengthen an optical signal. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description of embodiments.

Pamela Geller: How Muslim Migrants Devastate a Community
In my report at Breitbart about the appalling official mistreatment of the Twin Falls, Idaho family whose five-year-old daughter was raped by Muslim migrants, I wrote:
In my report at Breitbart about the appalling official mistreatment of the Twin Falls, Idaho family whose five-year-old daughter was raped by Muslim migrants, I wrote:
Here we go again. Muslims in America feign worry and persecution over something that has not even happened, and the enemedia is only too happy to provide a platform for their supremacist whine.
A five-year-old girl was raped and urinated upon by three Muslim migrant boys in Twin Falls, Idaho; one of them, a 14-year-old, videotaped the attack. After the attack, instead of getting justice, the victim's family has been abused and targeted by law enforcement and medical authorities as if they were the criminals. The mother cannot get copies of the medical records of her own child, or transcripts of 9-1-1 calls made on the day of the attack.
This is America, not Saudi Arabia. Enough. I am suing Facebook.
Here again, another incredible piece of outrageous propaganda bordering on the absurd from the venerable Washington Post: "Muslim camps are spreading in the U.S. to help kids 'be proud of who they are.'"
The wildly unfunny Muslim "comedian" Dean Obeidallah has penned yet another hate screed in Mediaite: "Why Aziz Ansari's Op-Ed Slamming Trump's Anti- Muslim BS Matters."
On the day that the Justice Department and the FBI released first a sharia-compliant redacted version of the Orlando jihadi's declaration of allegiance to the Islamic State — and then, after a torrent of criticism, finally released the unredacted version — the U.S. front group for the jihad terror group Hamas, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), released a new hate report laughingly labeled "Islamophobia."
AFP reported Friday that German Chancellor Angela Merkel "urged British political parties to moderate their speech in their campaigns over the Brexit vote, after a popular pro-Europe MP was murdered at the height of the divisive debate." Responding to the murder of Labour politician Jo Cox, Merkel said: "The exaggerations and radicalisation of part of the language do not help to foster an atmosphere of respect."
One year after the first U.S. ISIS attack — on our free speech event in Garland, Texas — an Islamic jihadist, Omar Mateen, succeeded in carrying out the largest terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11.
The post-jihad denial that we see in the wake of every Islamic attack since 9/11 has made possible the wild successes of Islamic groups that are waging jihad in the cause of Islam.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan wants the terrorist hatcheries to be operating at full capacity.
What's so funny about jihad terror, sharia, female genital mutilation, gender apartheid, creed apartheid, Islamic Jew-hatred, and kuffarophobia?
It was reported Tuesday that the European Commission is moving to make sure that their hegemonic hold on European politics isn't broken by populist parties that want to save Europe from the Muslim migrant invasion. "Norbert Hofer failed in his
As Jews and supporters of Israel, Kristol and Shapiro should know better. If you are a Jew in this troubled world, the contrast could not be sharper. Clinton's longtime relationship with her top aide Huma Abedin, an observant Muslim whose father, mother and brother were all Muslim Brotherhood operatives, should give every Jew pause. Hillary Clinton's husband sold out the Jews to Yasir Arafat. She herself has been bought and sold by our enemies many times over.
The Huffington Post published an article Wednesday entitled, "The Beautiful Reasons Why These Women Love Wearing A Hijab." In publishing propaganda like this, the Huffington Post would be in danger of losing its credibility — that is, if it had any.
Everyone is just agog and atwitter over Gloria Steinem's new series for Vice on "brave women." Vice has produced Gloria Steinem's new series on "how violence against women drives global instability," and it contains not one word about sharia, gender apartheid, sex slaves, or women marked for death by Islamic fatwas right here in America — in other words, not a word about Islamic law.
The Islamization of Britain made an immense advance this week, as a Muslim with extensive ties to jihadis and Islamic supremacists, Sadiq Khan, was elected mayor of London, just as London buses are set to carry ads proclaiming the "glory
The French paper Le Figaro says the poll confirms a "total rejection" of the religion in France, after its capital in 2015 saw two deadly jihad terror attacks. But it's not just Brussels, Paris, Chattanooga, Garland, San Bernardino – it's the burning cars, the vicious anti-semitism, the restrictions on our freedoms.
The Garland jihad was followed by a spate of ISIS-related attacks on American soil. Here is a list of the acts of jihad in the US since the Garland, Texas jihad shooting. It is only the US — mind you, the Muslim invasion of Europe and its attendant violence, brutality, and supremacism is not included. This is just in the USA since Garland, May 3, 2015.
The ad aggressively promotes the discredited conspiracy theory that Israel intentionally sank the USS Liberty warship in 1967.

Omar Alnatour, who identifies himself as a "Palestinian-American Muslim. Student. Humanitarian," has published an article in the Huffington Post entitled, "Why Muslims Should Never Have To Apologize for Terrorism." It's one of the most deceptive apologetic pieces ever to appear on HuffPo – and that's saying a lot.
As of late I have been repeatedly warned and blocked on Facebook for my reportage about violent and stealthy jihad activity, sharia oppression of women and non-Muslims, and my other activity for human rights. Whether it is a concerted effort
Media bias is well established. People are used to the mainstream media shilling for far-left causes and covering up the reality of jihad terror. But on Sunday, "reporter" George Mattar of The Intelligencer interviewed Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in a piece that is far worse than mere yellow journalism. It's a blood libel: Potok actually claimed that I am responsible for the San Bernardino jihad massacre, in which two devout Muslims murdered fourteen Muslims for the Islamic State.
Our legal team, the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC), has taken on the case of the Oklahoma gun range that was targeted by the UAE-designated terror group, the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
As sharia adherence becomes increasingly the norm, outrages to free speech are increasingly commonplace. The Observer reported Friday that "approximately five miles south of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, alongside the Interstate 294, stands a large anti-Israel billboard."
The leftist media is outraged. When I was asked on Breitbart News Daily about hijab-wearing Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, I spoke of the larger context: "They've designed special outfits… it's more of imposing Islam on the secular marketplace. Whether it's in the workplace, whether it's in the school, it's Islamic supremacism."
The Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), has just released its "Muslim Voter Survey" in a bid to influence the primary elections.
In an event that may very well be the spark to the outbreak of Europe's civil war, a young, beautiful social worker, Alexandra Mezher, 22, was brutally stabbed to death by Muslim migrants at the child migrant centre where she worked.
It's no secret that I endorse Ted Cruz for President, because he best represents conservative ideals. And yes, I was highly critical of Donald Trump's attack on the First Amendment in the wake of the thwarted jihad mass shooting at our American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) free speech event in Garland, Texas last May.

The island of #Tenerife is an absolute must for fans of traditional climbing.
The huge number of volcanic formations that have eroded over time have left rugged rock faces, creating a unique area for this type of climbing. There is a great collection of rock faces in the Teide National Park, which stands at over 2000 metres above sea level.
|Photo by - turismoactivo
Other rock faces that one can climb are Las Ánimas and the Roque de Enmedio, both in the mountains of the Anaga Massif, above the picturesque village of Taganana.
There are many base camps on the island where you can get the best advice and equipment :-
Tenerife Climbing House now offers overnight accommodation- check out their link for prices and info- http://tenerifeclimbinghouse.com/
Tenerife Climbing House, Arico on the south east of the island - http://tenerifeclimbinghouse.com/
- "We are located in Villa de Arico, a village close to many of the best climbing spots on the island. Villa de Arico is the meeting point for local and international climbers and the beating heart of climbing in Tenerife. Besides being the centre of climbing, it also offers all amenities you might need. Restaurants, bars, supermarket and some other shops are all within walking distance and the beach is only 7 km away for a refreshing dive after your climbing!"

Is Land Travel from Bangkok to Chiang Mai a Good Idea ?

No experience with Circle of Asia, however in answer to your headline, why not hop a train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and return by air. I caught a train around 2300 hrs ex Hualamphong Railway Station in Bangkok and arrived in Chiang Mai next morning around 1100 hrs. Comfy bed, 2nd class with fan and lower bunk around 20US. Buy ticket one or two days before at station or from agent paying around 2US commission fee.
Met many Thais and plenty of foreigners. Take some snacks, however food and beer is available. Take a luggage lock & secure your bags to luggage rails close to your bunk. Lots of local travel agents who can organise a look-around for you. Or hire a car and drive yourself. Roads have improved since 2004 when I drove the circle route from Chaing Mai via Pai & Mae Hong Son, Scenery lush with many places to stay. Dec/Jan it's quite cool up there. Have fun!

I was principally interested in the historic sights along the way (Sukhothai etc.)

I think they are rushing the activities on day 3 with only 1/2 a day allotted for the visit to both the Sukhothai and Sri Satchanalai historical parks. The drive between the two parks will take around an hour already and you'll not have that much time to explore both places.
Apart from that you will get to visit some highly revered Wats and will get to visit towns that most tourist don't go to.
Here are some of my pictures from Sukhothai and Sri Satchanalai if you're interested: http://khun-pook.smugmug.com/History/Sukhothai-and-Sri-Satchanalai/6915625_wsTws

I did a similar trip on my first visit to Thailand 20 odd years ago with a car and driver and really enjoyed it (of course, thing have changed a little since then. As Hanuman points out, parts of the trip do seem a bit rushed. I do remember getting on a slow boat from BKK to Bang Pa In took a couple of hours extra but was a great alternative to sitting in a car and the time in Sukothai does seem very short. I visited a second time 4 years ago rented a self drive car for a week in BKK and dropped off in Chiang Mai. This gave us much more flexibility e.g. we stayed overnight in Sukothai and rented a couple of bikes for an early morning ride around the complex - a great time for photos as there are less people about. Again, as Hanuman points out the best part for me was getting to see towns where few tourists go and just wandering around the markets and temple etc. Have you investigated the cost of a private tour with guide?

OK, suppose I fly to Sukhothai and stay overnight to do justice to the historical park. What then is the best way to get to Chiang Mai from there?

The Sukhothai airport is like an hour driving time from the city itself and figure in the flying time plus the time getting to the Bangkok airport you would only save a couple of hours versus driving from Bangkok. But if you want to fly then go ahead and this is what I think should be your schedule:
1/. Fly to Sukhothai and spend the night in town. Pre arrange a hotel, guide plus car and tell them you want to be drop off in Chiagn Mai.
2/. Start early the next morning to avoid the heat and explore the historical park in Sukhothai. After lunch drive, approximately 1 hour, to the Sri Satchanalai historical park.
3/. In the afternoon after you've finished with the exploration get the driver to drive to Chiang Mai, around 2.5 - 3 hours.
