Stars and Stripes: OcterJuly 21, 2016
This is the epitome of my favorite kind of style….easy, relaxed and yet completely put together. The simple striped top pairs perfectly with the denim cutoffs while playing nicely with the star hightops. The necklace brings it all together and injects the summer vibe with bright yellow and turquoise accents.
Simple. Easy. Comfortable. Stylish. #yes
I partnered with Octer.com for this post today and can't wait to introduce you to this retail mothership. I love cool convenience and that is just what Octer offers. When visiting their site you have a plethora of retailers at your fingertips and can search for literally anything under the sun…..womens fashion, home decor, kids clothing. The detail I loved most, is you are actually purchasing directly from the retailer. Although a third party helped you find what you were looking for, you are paying and shipping DIRECTLY from the online retailer. Less hassle, less mistakes and more security. How is that for a seamless retail experience?
I hope you all have an awesome weekend:) #happyshopping

How to Style a HOT Pink BlazerJuly 18, 2016
***If you have EARLY access to the Nordstrom Sale- Definitely visit my SHOP PAGE HERE so you can see all my favs for fall! #nsale #happyshopping ***
I hope all of you had a great weekend. Ours was jam-packed full of fun, friends and family and then ended on a super low note with MORE news of divide, violence and death. I am having a hard time watching the news or being on social media lately. This has to be one of the saddest times for our nation. I won't say much else, because this is a fashion blog and I don't think any of you come here for news or my viewpoints…..I will just say…..Prayers, Peace, Love for all, as we navigate and parent through these difficult times.
This HOT pink blazer is such a great summer piece. I love that it can brighten up your workday as shown below….BUT….I would rock it with white jeans and a white tank (infact, I think I will) for a fun night out on the town:) Versatile pieces like this are my jam, without a doubt. Hope you find some outfit inspiration and make it a great week.
Blazer Nordstrom available HERE, Tee Old Navy available HERE, Skirt Nicole Miller (old) but similar HERE, Shoes Christian Louboutin similar HERE, Necklace c/o Amelia Rose available HERE, Bracelet Stella and Dot available HERE

text: 866 FXUS63 KIND 251058 AFDIND Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 658 AM EDT MON JUL 25 2016 .UPDATE... The AVIATION Section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 220 AM EDT Mon Jul 25 2016 A cold front over the Illinois and northern Missouri will sag southward toward the Ohio River today...providing clouds and perhaps a few showers or storms. Clouds associated with the e front will prevent Highs in the 90s today. Cooler and less humid air is expected to arrive in Central Indiana tonight as High pressure over the northern plains states builds southeast into the Ohio Valley. The High is then expected to push across Indiana through mid week...providing dry weather. More chances for precipitation will arrive across the region late in the work week as another cool front and accompanying upper level weather disturbance arrives in the area. && .NEAR TERM /Today/... Issued at 220 AM EDT Mon Jul 25 2016 Surface analysis early this morning shows Low pressure north of the Great Lakes with a cool front extending southwest across Northern Illinois to Northern Missouri. Radar shows a convective complex ahead of the front over Central Illinois...building southward across the land of Lincoln. Current convective complex is expected to continue to wan across central Indiana...where instability is not quite favorable. Better CAPEs remains across southern Illinois...and backbuilding and progression of the system is expected there. Still high clouds will stream across Central Indiana this morning as the rain shield is expected to continue its weakening trend as depicted by the rapid refresh. Models remain in pretty good agreement that the frontal boundary will sag southward close to the ohio River Today. Forecast soundings show better instability across the far souther parts of the state this afternoon where the Front should arrive with a warming and more unstable atmosphere. dew point temps across the southern parts of the forecast area remain very moist...in the middle and upper 70s. Thus will trend pops highs across the southern areas...trending lower across the central and north. Forecast soundings show good drying within the column across the northern parts of the forecast area...particularly by the afternoon. Given the expected cloud cover from the passing front...will trend highs toward the cooler side of a blend. No heat advisory needed today. && .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Wednesday Night/... Issued at 220 AM EDT Mon Jul 25 2016 Dry and quiet weather is expected this period. Models suggest that the surface high over the northern plains will slowly progress through Indiana and the Great Lakes on Tonight through Wednesday Night. Forecast soundings and time heights show a dry column through the period with subsidence. Even CU will be quite limited as convective temps appear to be close to 95 on Tuesday and 90 and Wednesday. Aloft the upper flow looks to remain well north of Indiana keeping most forcing well north of Indiana. Thus mostly sunny days and mostly clear nights will be the way to go through the period. Thicknesses and 850mb temps change very little through...thus a blend of guidance will work. Temps on Wednesday night should begin to trend warmer as Indiana arrives on the backside of the now departing High pressure system. Furthermore...high cloud approaching associated with the approaching Low dropping out of the northern plains should begin to limit cooling. Of interesting to note...if heat island effects do not have much an overwhelming effect...temps in Indy may fall below 70 on Tuesday morning. This would be the first time below 70 since July 18th. && .LONG TERM /Thursday through Sunday/... Issued at 249 AM EDT Mon Jul 25 2016 An upper trough slowly moving through the Great Lakes will control the weather through the long term. A surface front will be stalled somewhere in the vicinity and serve as a focusing mechanism for these storms as upper shortwaves move through the trough. This will bring chances for thunderstorms and near normal temperatures to central Indiana. Initialization accepted as is. && .AVIATION /Discussion for 251200z taf issuance/... Issued at 652 AM EDT Mon Jul 25 2016 Mainly VFR at the sites today. Could see some chances for redevelopment late this morning/early this afternoon of thunderstorms along/ahead of the cold front where very light showers and clouds are currently.

Product Description
After the minor romantic speed bumps of the first season, the introduction of actual conflict into the second season of Gilmore Girls helped give the happy-goofy atmosphere of Stars Hollow a decided tension, as Rory tangled with her emotions over Jess and began the first tiny steps away from her good-girl persona. The episode "A-Tisket, A-Tasket," centered around the annual town auction of picnic baskets, was a wonderful portrait of Rory's conflicting adolescent feelings for both Dean and Jess. However, it was Lorelai's simmering chemistry with former flame Christopher, only hinted at in the first season, that gave the show its energy as well as its heartbreak, culminating in the stellar season finale "I Can't Get Started." But lest you think Gilmore Girls was centered only on romance, the second season also gave the expansive ensemble cast many hilarious moments, ranging from the hallway politics of Rory's private school to the town antics that shaped the Gilmores' daily lives. Through it all, the appealing Bledel and the radiant Graham exuded wit, charm, and a way with snappy patter not seen since the golden days of '30s screwball comedy. --Mark Englehart

Wintergreen is a great resort! The snow conditions vary on the time when you come and visit. Although Wintergreen does receive a fair amount of natural snow, the thing that keeps the resort open and conditions good is the 100% snowmaking system. Wintergreen made an amazing recovery from the beginning of the year where they had pretty much no snow. The one thing that they could improve on is building a halfpipe and level out the cut across trails, logger's alley and the trail that leads from eagles' swoop back to dobie. It is very annoying for a snowboarder to take off one of their binding and push to the top of the trail! I visited this year during president's day weekend. I snowboarded saturday, sunday, and monday morning. The first day, the anow contained a lot of ice patches and powder patches. It was better than i had expected though because the resort had just been hit with an ice storm. The next day, the snow contained only a few icy patches, and more powder patches. The lines were pretty long, but if you had a season pass, it was great to skip all the lines. If you are going to go to Wintergreen a few times this year, especially during a holiday period, it is definitely worth the money to buy a season pass. Finally, on monday morning, the conditions were excellent! When i arrived, they had just turned off the snow blowers, and there was tons of fresh powder for me to enjoy. Especially because i was among the first on the slopes. Also, their two high-speed lifts were excellent. Wintergreen is definitely a great place to go to!

Don't go back to your country without practice sandboard in Ica. It is amazing!
Even, rent some sand cars to road the dunes. Prove the local wines and the traditional desert called "chocoteja"
Never had I witnessed sand dunes composed of the finest sand the height of five-story buildings! Try climbing a sand dune; try getting to the top in order to lookout upon mile upon mile of sand dunes. Ica, Peru can be accessed by car or bus. Bring plenty of water.
We enjoyed the dune buggy up and down the sand dunes. Also looking at down at the Laguna full of life, students on recess/field trip and a police academy exercising. Surfing the dunes was impressive.
We visit the desert as part of one big day tour. The experience with the sand board and the sand car was amazing, like a very old roller coaster, too much fun.
I was hesitant to do this because I had read about the buggy drivers driving really dangerously, but I went anyway because I really wanted to try sandboarding and didn't want to walk up the dunes. I'm glad to say that I was wrong - the drivers do go pretty fast and go up and down the dunes, but there...
From afar a beautiful lanscape .... The oasis of Huacachina looks beautiful!
But when you get there you realize it's not as nice as it looked in the distance. The boardwalk is neglected, with the cracked structures. The place looks neglected. Hotels are not very good.
The lagoon would not be recommend it for bathing, although some locals are immersed...
I did ARENEROS tou.So funny!
You have to do it! Such a different and funny experience!
You go to the dessert with the car and do sandboard and see sunset by the end of the afternoon
Great day!
Ypu take raid to the desert ,you enjoy the sea smell.and you can play sand board like in the snow.Yo will came back in the emotions
The sanboarding tour is cool. You can also make day trips to islas ballestas and barracas, its not too expensive
I would like to recommend this place, however, it is a really small place. You could know all this place in a day
. It is not so bad.
are cameras allowed on dune buggy?
Anybody ever booked though Huacachina.cxm? (They have a nice website with a few dead links, but not much else.)

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a Jesuit paleontologist who worked to understand evolution and faith. He was born May 1, 1881, and died on April 10, 1955. Between these days Teilhard fully participated in a life that included priesthood, living and working in the front lines of war, field work exploring the early origins of the human race, and adventurous travels of discovery in the backlands of China. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin also participated fully in an intellectual life through the development of his imaginative, mystical writings on the evolutionary nature of the world and the cosmos. – See more at: http://www.ignatianspirituality.com/ignatian-voices/20th-century-ignatian-voices/pierre-teilhard-de-chardin-sj#sthash.pLdNfk2B.dpuf

A Vision of the Possible: Pioneer Church Planting in Teams
Pioneer Church Planting in TeamsWe have long been aware of the challenge of reaching the unreached peoples of the world. For many this seemed a daunting and almost impossible task. However, with a clear biblical model of church planting, which works in divergent cultural settings, it seems that this may in fact be possible. In A Vision of the Possible, Daniel Sinclair thoroughly covers practical whys and how-to's concerning
$1.99It is rumored that in the deepest parts of south East Asia a rare tree grows and if tended properly with love and care it will bloom a beautiful crimson flower every 20 years. It is said that the tree takes on the appearance of surrounding trees to hide itself among them and only the most experienced tender can tell the trees apart. In the years before the tree blooms its bark turns black as coal,

Unleashing the People of God for the Purpose of GodTake the next step. From radical followers of Christ to radical communities of faith. In Radical, David Platt's plea for Christians to take back their faith from the American Dream resonated with readers everywhere, and the book quickly became a New York Times bestseller. Now in Radical Together, the author broadens his call, challenging us to unite around a gospel-centered vision. How, he asks,

Five Steps That Help Your Church to Make Disciples Who Make DisciplesOver the last thirty years, many influential church leaders and church planters in America have adopted various models for reaching unchurched people. An "attractional" model will seek to attract people to a local church. Younger leaders may advocate a more "missional" approach, in which believers live and work among unchurched people and intentionally seek to serve like Christ. While each of

Good 3.5 /5 from 36 reviews
We are not sure why the rating for this place was so good on hotels.com. We recommend you take out this facility from your listing. We arrived at around 1pm, hope we can check-in early or at least leave our bags at the counter and start sightseeing, there was nobody, the door was locked, the receptionist was late for 1 hour, and when we finally got the room, the room was not cleaned, they reasoned that the chambermaids were stuck in traffic. The room only got cleaned at 5:30pm.
No parking, It took 20 minutes for someone to answer the door so we could check in. Room was not ready even after confirming arrival time by email as requested by Hotel. Staff was less than pleasant and of little help. Luckily we just stayed a few hours before our return flight. Will not use this place in the future.
The room was clean and tidy. But when we arrived there was no one there. The door was locked. There was a small plaque on the wall to identify the hotel. There was a number to ring which meant I had to activate overseas phone coverage at personal cost to me. I rang and no one answered. It left us stranded. Neighbouring properties knew nothing of the hotel. After an hour of trying to get in I rang again and someone answered. I was told our key was at a nearby restaurant. I got it and it was the wrong key!! More phone charges. Eventually we got in. On checking out we had the same problem. No one there. I rang again. More costs and was told to leave the key in a fuse box. I got back to the UK to find a threatening email saying that if I didn't return my key they would charge me £100 which they had already began to process. Fortunately they found the key, where they told me to put it.
Spacious, comfortable beds, clean bathroom and good hospitality.
Location: The apartment was actually 15-20 minutes walk from the Florenc Coach Station (Euroline), which was not as close as what we had expected. It was very very far away from all the main tourist attractions, especially the Prague Castle. Worse than that, the apartment was not near to any underground, bus or tram stations (it was located out of the map given by the tourist information!), so it was a very long walk to the attractions. Service: Although it was stated that there was a reception, there was not anyone working or to contact throughout the weekend and we could not even reach the person-in-charge on phone throughout our stay. The person-in-charge never replied my e-mails or contacted me to make arrangements on key collection beforehand. When we arrived, the gate of the building was locked and there was not any clue to get in. Luckily, we went to the restaurant next to the building to borrow a phone, and the chef gave us the key left for us. It would be much better if we were told to collect the key from that restaurant beforehand!

Five Minutes of 'War'
Opening of Drafthouse Film's 'I Declare War' plus trading cards
By Richard Whittaker,
1:12PM, Sat. Aug. 31, 2013
If you read our review of I Declare War, you'll know it straddles a unique line between fantasy and reality. Now Drafthouse Films have put the first five minutes online, and released trading cards for its pint-sized action heroes.
The film, set against one hazy Canadian afternoon, brings back all those memories when playing games was as real as it gets. The opening sequence is now online at Vimeo, and to celebrate this weekend's theatrical release, there are also these old school bubblegum-style cards of the cast. Here's a couple of our faves, the untrustworthy Skinner (Michael Friend) and the ever-loyal Paul Kwon (Siam Yu), courtesy of artist James White.
Sadly, you won't be able to get your hands on them for real (even sadder, you'll have a hard time getting your hands on the vintage I Declare War action play set. So we recommend seeing the movie, then heading out and using your own imagination.
Although those cards are pretty sweet.
I Declare War is in theaters, and on VOD and iTunes, now. Read our review here and find showing times on our Film Listings page. Also, you can read our interview with star Gage Munroe and co-directors Jason Lapeyre and Robert Wilson here.

We spent a week in Prague from 30th November 2012 - 7th December 2012. This was a last minute booking so our options were limited. The reviews looked great for Hotel Retezova so we booked. We were given the Singapore room, which has a very steep staircase and doesn't have a very homely feel, as the lounge area is very small. But, as we had booked last minute, I couldn't complain. The room was clean, warm and we could open the windows when it got too hot. We approached reception and asked if there were any other rooms available and were informed that the hotel was completely booked out for the weekend, but that we could be moved on Sunday The staff were friendly and helpful (and we bothered them a LOT during our stay for all kinds of recommendations!), and as promised, on Sunday we were moved to Room #5, which was much larger and was on one level. We were very impressed at the standard of this room and hotel. It was a one minute walk to Old Town Square and about 5 minutes walk to Charles Bridge. As we were in Prague for a week it was nice to have a room we could come back to and have a little rest in before heading out again, although if you were only in Prague for a few days the original room would be fine as well as you wouldn't spend much time inside. We couldn't believe how cheap this hotel was (about $100AUD per night) for the standard and location.
My only negative comment would be that the pillows were quite lumpy, and the bed in the Singapore room was very hard. But this is very minor in the overall positives of this hotel.
I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Prague!

Richard Davenport covers recruiting for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. He is the host of Recruiting Thursday, a weekly radio show that airs from 7 to 8 p.m. on 92.1 FM in Fayetteville; 93.7 FM in Little Rock; 95.3 FM in Fort Smith; 96.3 FM in Hot Springs; 104.3 FM in Harrison/Mountain Home; and 106.9 FM in Arkadelphia.
The Recruiting Guy:
Sotolongo considers following friend to Fayetteville
Arkansas signed freshman cornerback Cornelius Floyd of Miami Gulliver Prep in February and is back at the school in hopes of landing safety Antonyo Sotolongo.
"It's kind of like an upper hand to where I could be going," Sotolongo said of Floyd being at Arkansas. "It's always nice to know someone."
Sotolongo, 6-0, 195 pounds, reports more than 25 scholarship offers, including ones from Arkansas, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Wake Forest, Duke and Tulane. Floyd has encouraged him to join him in Fayetteville.
"He likes Arkansas," said Sotolongo, who has a hand-held time of 4.43 seconds in the 40-yard dash. "He's saying it's a good school and I should come up there and play with him."
West Virginia, Tulane, Wake Forest and Duke are other schools he's looking to officially visit. Sotolongo was named to the Miami Herald All Miami-Dade 5A Independents first team squad as a junior.
National recruiting analyst Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network is high on Sotolongo's talent.
"A four-star prospect with five-star potential," Lemming said. "He shows solid instincts, a nose for the ball, quick hands and excellent ball skills. He does a great job of playing the ball in the air, showing good vision and instincts. He is a safety who understands angles and field leverage, [and] takes advantage of his knowledge."
Arkansas linebackers coach Randy Shannon landed five signees in the 2014 class from south Florida. Sotolongo is aware of Shannon's history in the area and that adds to his comfort level with the Hogs.
"He's from Miami, so he knows what it's like to live out here and go other places," said Sotolongo, who has long-jumped 23 feet, 9 inches. "He has a lot of good things to say when it comes to recruiting."
Sotolongo, who had 74 tackles, 4 interceptions, 3 returned for touchdowns, and 8 pass breakups last year, is looking to study anthropology and sociology in college. He uses his interest in sociology on the football field.
"Example, me going against the receiver, just looking at their body language coming up to the line of scrimmage from a defensive backs' standpoint, you can tell if the receiver looks like he's lazy coming up to the line, he knows it's not going to him or it's a run play," Sotolongo said. "It's just those little things that you need to know in order to play the position."
Ready to run
Highly touted running back Reggie Gallaspy visited Arkansas on July 23-24 and came away impressed, but he remains undecided on whether he will take his five official visits or possibly make a quick decision.
Gallaspy, 5-11, 215, 4.50, of Greensboro (N.C.) Southern Guilford, narrowed his list of 17 scholarship offers to Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Duke, North Carolina State and Michigan State.
"Still figuring out my decision and still don't know if I'm taking officials out of state or not due to my games schedule," Gallaspy said.
He plans to take unofficial visits to North Carolina State and Duke during the season. About three weeks after his visit to Fayetteville, Gallaspy said he is still fond of the Hogs.
"I loved it there and can see myself playing there," Gallaspy said. "I can't pick one bad thing to say about the Razorbacks."
But he also said the distance to Fayetteville could cause a little concern.
"But not enough to not commit there," he said.
Gallaspy, who's rated a four-star prospect by national recruiting analyst Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network, rushed 282 times for 1,704 yards and 26 touchdowns as a junior and 177 carries for 1,751 yards and 20 touchdowns as a sophomore.
He said he prefers to play in a pro-style offense like the one Arkansas uses.
"It's an offense set up for the running back to be what a running back is," Gallaspy said. "Spread is for offense with quarterbacks like Denard Robinson, who runs more than the running backs. That's what really stands out about Arkansas is the pro-style."
He's previously said running backs coach Joel Thomas is like a second father.
"He's a guy that'll treats you like you his own," Gallaspy said. "He doesn't lie to kids, so he won't lie to you."
The chance to play in the SEC is very attractive to Gallaspy.
"Arkansas is Running Back U and is in the best conference in the country," he said. "Having the opportunity to play at any SEC school is a blessing."

Winning the central this season doesn't look like much of an accomplishment. The Bulls are suddenly quite pedestrian without Derrick Rose while the Pacers look similarly mediocre without Danny Granger. The Bucks presently hold the division lead at 6-5, and the Chicago Bulls can reclaim the top spot with a win tonight.
The Bulls beat the Bucks with their front court. They won largely due to their size advantage, offensive rebounding, points in the paint, and by creating turnovers. They didn't play particularly well on offense. In fact, they played more or less horrifically on offense for most of the night.
However, when they couldn't get a shot to drop, they could get an offensive rebound to follow. Can they repeat the same formula tonight?
I think so.
The Bucks haven't gotten any bigger in the last two days. They're still going to have a huge disadvantage on the glass, and while they might play somewhat better offensively in the rematch, Chicago has plenty of room to shoot the ball better as well.
The match up, which will decide who will hold the top spot in the division, highlights how pathetic the central division is at this very moment and should give plenty of hope to Bulls fans that they can still win this division. If they do, the worst they can finish in the playoff seedings is 5th (technically 4th, but if the 5th seed gets home court over the 4th then aren't you really 5th in actuality?).
The interesting thing about that is the Bulls might be better served finishing second in the division and in the 6th/7th spot overall in order to avoid Miami until the conference finals [assuming Miami finishes #1 which isn't a given].
Back to the Bucks, the keys to the game are simple. We just saw them play out on Saturday.
1: Use your side advantage to dominate the glass.
2: Play solid defense
3: Throw up enough shots that a few have to go in.
When two mediocre teams play each other in back to back games, the odds say that they split them and go 1-1, but I think the Bulls find a way to pull this one out. As long as the Bulls play aggressively and with energy, Milwaukee can't combat their size, and despite playing poorly in many facets the Bulls still won the last one.
Chicago has more headroom to improve their play than Milwaukee does IMO, I give Chicago about a 70% chance of winning this one.

accidental damage claim,expect a second hand phone they wont know when they will have your phone in stock could be 3 days or could be a week, the replacement phone they send you will be reconditioned and will not be brand new and probably wont work very well, if you do pay you'd be better off getting insurance elsewhere, they wont reimburse you for loss of services either and dont expect virgin media to help! apparently its nothing to do with them...

Absolutely disgusting service from Virgin media and their insurance group.
I have a new phone, only 8 hrs.' old, Screen broke and have been told but virgin media it would cost £35 excess, but when put through to insurance group, was told it was £70 as phone is under 3 months old.. after the 3 months it reverts to £35.00... FUMING !!!!

Guest Commentary (4569)
Solar-Powered Plane Takes Off for Historic Odyssey Across the Atlantic
Article reprinted with permission from EcoWatch
BuzzFlash isn't funded by corporate advertising, but by readers like you. Can you help sustain this critically important work with a tax-deductible donation?
The Solar Impulse 2 took off earlier this morning from New York City for its historic, sun-powered flight across the Atlantic Ocean. The multi-day odyssey will be the longest and perhaps the most difficult leg in the solar plane's journey around the world.
The aircraft left John F. Kennedy International Airport at 2:30 a.m. and is being piloted solo by Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard.
"It's my first time taking off from JFK," Piccard said over a live feed from the aircraft, according to the AFP.
Newt Gingrich's Last Hurrah
This BuzzFlash commentary could not have been published without the support of our dedicated readers. Ensure that we can publish more stories like this one by donating now!
It doesn't surprise me one bit that Newt Gingrich is on Donald Trump's short list for vice president. And it wouldn't surprise me if Gingrich really wants the job. Despite leaving Congress in disgrace in the late-1990s, and conducting a failed run for the Republican Party's 2012 presidential nomination, over the past several decades he has rarely been out of the spotlight. And while he has been consistently rehabbing his image, he remains a rash on the political landscape that, no matter what you do to deal with it, never goes away.
Gingrich has had numerous character-challenging episodes on his resume. In 1994, three days before the mid-term elections, Gingrich used the Susan Smith case – a South Carolina mother who was then accused of drowning her two young sons -- to garner votes. Then Congressman Gingrich, told an Associated Press reporter that voters were moving toward the GOP: "I think that the mother killing the two children in South Carolina vividly reminds every American how sick the society is getting and how much we need to change things." Gingrich added, "The only way you get change is to vote Republican. That's the message for the last three days."
After the passage of California's Proposition 8 -- an initiative banning same-sex marriage -- Gingrich told Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly that protesters were representative of "a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us."
In what might be his last chance at grabbing for the gold, Gingrich, an unapologetic Trump supporter appeared to make his boldest pitch yet to being The Donald's running mate. He recently executed a Joseph McCarthy-like pivot by suggesting that the House of Representatives form a twenty-first century version of the infamous House Un-American Activities Committee "to root out American citizens who plan to commit terrorist attacks in the US," Talking Points Memo's Allegra Kirkland recently reported.
Donald Trump vs. the First Amendment
If Donald Trump should become president, don't expect his administration to be a transparent one or one that tolerates dissent and believes in the First Amendment.
At his campaign rallies, even those held at public venues, he forbids, according to his press advisories, "homemade signs, banners, professional cameras with a detachable lens, tripods, monopods, selfie sticks, back packs or large bags."
The restriction on "professional cameras" is targeted to the media. Apparently, he doesn't want unflattering pictures of him and his extra large baggage mouth to get to the public, although he is adept at positioning himself in front of the media for every possible story angle. If he were president, he would not have a choice of who can and cannot photograph him, because the First Amendment guarantees that public officials cannot invoke a "prior restraint," which is what a restriction on photography would be.
Why he doesn't want "back packs or large bags" is probably because he fears weapons at his rallies. Of course, he has said numerous times that he believes in the Second Amendment right to own and carry weapons, even assault weapons like the handguns and semi-automatic assault rifles that were used to kill 26 at the Sandy Hook elementary school, the 14 killed in San Bernardino, and the 49 killed in an Orlando nightclub.
Not allowing the public to make signs and banners is such a huge violation of the First Amendment that even the most rabid conservatives, and every judge—no matter what their judicial or political philosophy is—would laugh themselves silly at Trump's belief that as a president he could control the message, like he is doing as a candidate.
The Growing Case for Massive Taxes on the Rich
While candidates bicker and Congress stagnates, the super-rich enjoy the absence of attention paid to one of our nation's most destructive issues.
The richest Americans are takers of social benefits. Yet they complain about paying 12% to 20% in taxes, even as respected researchers estimate an optimal revenue-producing rate of 80% to 90%, and even with the near-certainty that higher marginal tax rates will have no adverse effects on GDP growth.
The super-rich pay little in taxes because, as Senator Lindsey Graham said, "It's really American to avoid paying taxes, legally...It's a game we play...I see nothing wrong with playing the game because we set it up to be a game." In reality, it's a game of theft from the essential needs of education, infrastructure, and jobs.
The Richest Individuals Cheat the Most
According to a recent IRS report, an incredible $406 billion annual gap exists between owed and paid taxes, with individuals accounting for over three-quarters of the total, and with the most egregious misreporting coming from the highest income-takers.
That's about $3,000 per U.S. household in annual lost revenue. Yet even though the IRS retrieves well over $100 for every dollar in salaries paid to their agents, the agency has been rapidly losing staff, making the tax avoidance game a lot easier for the biggest cheaters.
Corporations Cheat Most Creatively
Relative to a dollar of payroll tax, corporations used to pay $3 in income tax. Now they pay 30 cents.
Exxon uses a theoretical tax to 'pay' its bill, and grandfatherly old Warren Buffett's company Berkshire Hathaway uses hypothetical amounts to avoid paying taxes.
Despite having billions in profits and nearly half of its sales in the U.S., Pfizer claimed enormous losses in the United States.
Each year the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) sells contracts worth about a quadrillion dollars, four times more than all the wealth in the world. Yet ZERO sales tax is paid on the purchases.

Will Donald Trump be joining some of his fellow billionaires in establishing his own cable network? Can he monetize his popularity with the segment of the population that turns out at his rallies and buys Trump paraphernalia? Is there an audience for All Trump/All The Time?
Billionaires' ownership of newspapers and other media outlets is nothing new. Earlier this month, Forbes' Kate Vinton reported that "billionaires have long exerted influence on the news simply by owning U.S. media outlets." Rupert Murdoch and Michael Bloomberg "are longtime media moguls who made their fortunes in the news business," while Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who bought The Washington Post, "bought publications as a side investment after building a substantial fortune in another industry. "
According to Vinton, "Billionaires own part or all of several of America's influential national newspapers, including The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, in addition to magazines, local papers and online publications."
Sheldon Adelson, the multibillionaire casino magnate, a major funder of right-wing causes and candidates and a Donald Trump endorser, owns a daily newspaper in Israel called Israel Hayom; bought after being unhappy with how he was being covered in Israel. Here at home, Adelson bought the Las Vegas Review-Journal for a reported $140 million.
College-Bound Student Rejects Scholarship From Nestlé's Bottled Water Company

BuzzFlash isn't funded by corporate advertising, but by readers like you. Can you help sustain this critically important work with a tax-deductible donation?
Major kudos to Hannah Rousey. The college-bound student from Lovell, Maine has turned down a $1,000 scholarship money from Nestlé subsidiary Poland Spring due to her objections to bottled water and the company's environmentally destructive practices.
"I am grateful for the scholarship I have been awarded, but I cannot in good faith accept money from a company that does not exhibit sustainable and ethical practices," she wrote a letter to the bottling company on June 2, according to the Conway Daily Sun.
The 17 year old has been accepted to Sterling College in Vermont where she will pursue a degree in sustainable agriculture and environmental protection law and policy. She was one of five students who received a $1,000 Poland Spring Good Science scholarship at her high school graduation ceremony from Fryeburg Academy in Fryeburg, Maine, the Bridgton News reported.
Mass Murder and the US Penchant for War

This won't be the last.
Half a week into the Orlando tragedy, this reality remains pretty much unacknowledged, as cause-seekers focus on security and ISIS and the specific mental instability of Omar Mateen, who, as the world knows, took 49 precious lives and injured 53 others at the nightclub Pulse in the early hours of June 12.
Was it terrorism? Was it a hate crime? Apparently there's a media obsession with categorizing murder. No, this was faux-war, as all our mass killings are, waged by an army of one or two or a few. And it won't be the last. Mass killings are part of the social fabric -- still shocking, still horrifying, but becoming more and more . . . "normal."
Tighter security won't stop them. Destroying ISIS won't stop them. Banning immigrants won't stop them. Maybe nothing will -- though I don't believe that. I do believe in karma, which is to say, the idea that what goes around comes around. If we act with violence, violence will come back to haunt us.
Eighty Percent of Ocean Plastic Comes From Land-Based Sources, New Report Finds
plastic pollution is an increasingly devastating crisis, and this new infographic shows exactly where the plastic trash is coming from, where it ends up and why it's important to start our fight against this environmental scourge at the beach.Ocean
The graph, provided by UK-based Eunomia Research & Consulting, shows that more than 80 percent of the annual input of plastic litter, such as drink bottles and plastic packaging, comes from land-based sources. The remainder comes from plastics released at sea, such as lost and discarded fishing gear.
Significantly, Eunomia was able to come up with a new estimate of annual global emissions of "primary" microplastics, such as microbeads, fibers or pellets. ("Secondary" microplastics are the result of larger pieces of plastic breaking down into smaller pieces.)
The firm calculated that emissions of microplastics range from 0.5 to 1.4 million tonnes per year, with a mid-point estimate of 0.95 million tonnes. Vehicle tires are the biggest culprits, releasing 270 thousand tonnes of debris into our waterways annually.
These tiny non-biodegradable pieces of plastic are a cause for worry, as they are being gobbled up by plankton and baby fish like junk food, and works its way up the food chain. Microplastics have been found in in ice cores, across the seafloor, vertically throughout the ocean and on every beach worldwide. As EcoWatch mentioned previously, microplastics are also very absorbent, meaning they pick up the chemicals it floats in.
Jim Hightower: Who Says Crime Doesn't Pay?
Hey, can we all just stop complaining that our government coddles Wall Street's big money-grubbing banks?
Sure, they went belly-up and crashed our economy with their frauds, rigged casino games, and raw greed. And, yes, the Bush and Obama regimes rushed to bail them out with trillions of dollars in our public funds, while ignoring the plight of workaday people who lost jobs, homes, businesses, wealth, and hope. But come on, Buckos, have you not noticed that the feds are now socking the bankers with huuuuuge penalties for their wrongdoings?
Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs, for example, was recently punched in its corporate gut with a jaw-dropping $5 billion for its illegal schemes.
Wow, $5 billion! That's a stunning amount that Goldman Sachs has agreed to pay to settle federal criminal charges over its shameful financial scams that helped wreck America's economy in 2008. That's a lot of gold, even for Goldman Sachs. It's hard to comprehend that much money, so think of it like this: If you paid out $100,000 a day, every day for 28 years, you'd pay off just one billion dollars. So, wow, imagine having to pull Five Big B's out of your wallet! That's enough to make even the most arrogant and avaricious high-finance flim-flammer think twice before risking such scams, right? Thus, these negotiated settlements between the Justice Department and the big banks will effectively deter repeats of the 2008 Wall Street debacle... right?
Actually, no.
First Mammal Goes Extinct Due to Human-Caused Climate Change
The Bramble Cay melomys—a rodent found only on Australia's Great Barrier Reef—has been declared extinct, according to a new study from researchers at the Queensland's Department of Environment and Heritage Protection and the University of Queensland.
Alarmingly, this could be the first mammal species wiped out due to human-induced climate change.
The researchers came to the conclusion after failing to find a single specimen of the melomys, also called the mosaic-tailed rat, from its only known habitat.
"A thorough survey effort involving 900 small mammal trap-nights, 60 camera trap-nights and two hours of active daytime searches produced no records of the species, confirming that the only known population of this rodent is now extinct," the study states.
Sea-level rise and weather events in the Torres Strait region, which lies between Australia and the Melanesian island of New Guinea, was determined as the root cause of the loss. The scientists said that the events destroyed the animals' sole habitat on Bramble Cay, a small vegetated coral cay in northern Australia. Research showed that Bramble Cay had reduced dramatically in size from approximately 2.2 ha in 2004 to only 0.065 ha, equivalent to a 97 percent loss in the span of 10 years.
"The key factor responsible for the extirpation of this population was almost certainly ocean inundation of the low-lying cay, very likely on multiple occasions, during the last decade, causing dramatic habitat loss and perhaps also direct mortality of individuals," the study states.
Obama's Eloquent Speeches Alone Will Not Fix Lead-Poisoned Water
No matter what you may think of President Obama, it's easy to admire him when he makes an appearance on one of the nightly talk shows. (watch this clip from the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon). He's charming, intelligent, a natural at quips, and serious when discussing important problems plaguing Americans.
By contrast, however, there's a thing called "the reality check" on his track record, which has driven many a liberal Democrat up the wall by feeling the burn of betrayal at times.
True, in many cases, Obama's hands have been tied by an obstinate and racist Republican congress, but how do you explain his own executive actions that benefit the corporate elites at the expense of public health safety issues? How do you explain his lack of action when Americans need to be rescued from corporate abuses that could easily be fixed by enforcing environmental regulations?
The word that comes to mind is "disillusionment." There's the impressive picture of President Obama, and then there's Obama's record of decisions that even his predecessors, Bush-Cheney, couldn't come close to passing: offshore oil drilling in the Arctic, and military operations off the Alaska coast, as Truthout journalist, Dahr Jamail, explained, this is a toxic threat to the entire pristine region. Or consider the fracking boom that was unleashed across the country under the Obama administration with the full knowledge and proof that it's contaminating our public drinking water, coupled with the fact that fracking causes earthquakes.
Whether it's perpetual wars, right-wing coups in Latin America, oil and gas drilling, or selling slave labor and anti-environmental trade deals such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, (check the 35,000 Germans protesting Obama-TPIP), as the negatives outweigh the positives, you can understand why presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, became immensely popular. Senator Sanders has a long, established record of action that supports his agenda.
Take, for example, Obama's lack of action regarding the toxic lead water contamination problem at over 350 public schools.
#WorldMeatFreeDay: A Great Day to Consider How Daily Food Choices Impact People and Planet
#WorldMeatFreeDay, a great time to think about how the everyday choices we make about the food we eat can impact our health and the health of the planet.It's back! Today is
From deforestation to water pollution and climate change, the mark that industrial animal agriculture leaves on the environment is huge.
Globally, livestock production is responsible for around 14 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions—that's more than the emissions from all road vehicles in the world.
Animal agriculture is the largest source of the most powerful greenhouse gasses: methane and nitrous oxide. On top of that, growing crops for animal feed, especially soy, results in the deforestation of rainforests, releasing yet more CO2.
There is now overwhelming evidence, that we can't possibly avoid catastrophic climate change if we don't address the impact of high levels of meat consumption. We are already living beyond our planetary means. Feeding a growing and more affluent global population of at least nine billion by 2050 simply isn't possible unless we make some changes.
We need a "less is better" approach to meat eating. That's where World Meat Free Day can make a difference; by raising awareness of how simple, small changes can start to have a positive global influence. The World Meat Free Day website has a sustainability calculator that shows how meat-free meals can have an immediate impact on carbon emissions and water usage.
Brazil Won't Buy US GMO Corn, Highlights Worldwide Divide Over GMOs
genetically modified (GMO) foods seem to proliferate across the U.S., many other nations do not allow such products to enter or grow within their borders.While
A Bloomberg article illustrated how the world's vast patchwork of GMO regulations can deter international trade.
Case in point, even though the Brazilian chicken industry is suffering from a domestic corn shortage this year, companies refuse to buy corn from the U.S. because of Brazil's stringent regulations on GMOs.
"In recent years, some of the largest commodity trading companies have refused to take certain GMO crops from farmers because the seeds used hadn't received a full array of global approvals, something that can lead to holdups at ports or even the rejection of entire cargoes," the article stated.
Brazil happens to be the second largest producer of GMO crops in the world after the U.S., and grows 29 varieties of GMO corn. However, the South American country has had a contentious history over GMOs and does not allow certain varieties to enter the country—the U.S. cultivates 43 types of GMO corn. Brazil also mandates that all products containing GMO ingredients carry a label and, earlier this year, the Brazilian Ministry of Justice fined major food manufacturers including Nestle, PepsiCo and a Mexican baking company for concealing the presence of GMOs in their products.
