In addition to becoming familiar with the modifier keys inside of Illustrator, you also have to really be efficient with using the Transformation tools that Illustrator has, namely the Scale tool, the Rotate tool and the Reflect tool, we'll start by using the Rotate tool. So I'm going to first start by drawing a shape. I am going to take a rectangle maybe click and drag and make a nice long rectangle over here and now maybe I want to rotate this. So if I now press R on my keyboard which will activate now the Rotate tool, you can see there right now in the center of my screen it's a little bit of a crosshair right on the center point of my object.
That crosshair is what would we refer to as the origin point that means that that is where the transformation is going to take place from. Imagine if right now I have this rectangle and I kind a nail it to a board right through the middle. Now if I try to rotate it I can rotate it around that nail, but that middle area can't move. So let's imagine for right now that the object is locked on this one point. What I want to do when I want to actually rotate this. I want to move my cursor as far away from that point as I can, which will give me more leverage on how I can actually adjust that shape.
So for example I don't need to actually grab any of the other parts of the object here. I am going to move my cursor out to let's say right about this part and if I click now and drag in one motion, you can see that my rectangle is rotating around that origin point. But I have a lot of control as I'm rotating this because my cursor is far away from that origin point. Let me actually press Undo for a second. We can always move or adjust the origin point and there are two ways to do that. I can take the actual point itself and click on it and drag it to reposition it elsewhere and by the way that point will snap to other anchor points here or paths inside of Illustrator and that's because my smart guide is turned on.
So if I go over here and I snap it to this corner, now when I move my cursor out of here and I click and drag it is rotating around that point. So again it's really important that I can get completely different results by simply repositioning my origin point. Now another way for me to redefine the origin point to just simply click once with the mouse. So if I go over here and I click and release, you can see that now the origin point is over here. Realize right now that the origin point is not even touching the object at all. However, if I come let's say right about over here and I start to click and drag, I'm rotating the object around that origin point.
Let me delete this shape. Let me create some other shape. For example let's do a star and I am going to drag a star right about over here, maybe decrease the radius over here, so I have a nice little star and I want to make this larger now. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to press the S key to activate my Scale tool. Notice that right now the origin point in the center of that star, so if I move my cursor and I start to click and drag outwards, I'm scaling the start out from its center. Now if I want to reduce it in size, but I want to reducing in the size from a specific point, I can actually click once here to set my origin point for example at the top part of the star and now if I move my cursor down here and then Shift+Drag this way, I can now scale it to that point.
I've grabbed it basically right from the bottom here. I'm kind of distorting in this way, but if I press Undo and I grab it let's say the outer edge here and go downwards, now because I'm kind dragging diagonally I'm getting that proportional scale as I go towards that origin point. Remember the O key on your keyboard is a shortcut for the Reflect tool and if I set my origin point let's say right about over here-- So notice it's not touching the object, but now I click and drag I can reflect the tool exactly this way. The smart guide thumbnail right now is saying it's lined up this way, but I can also hold down the Shift key to do this as well.
But by the way whenever you reflecting something, nine times out of ten, you don't want to reflect the actual object; you want to reflect a copy of that object. So you'll not only need to hold down the Shift key to get a perfectly aligned, you'll also need to make sure that the Alt key or the Option key is also being pressed while you doing this function. Notice by the way that if I release that Option key right now, my cursor has just one arrow, but if I hold on the Option key I now see a double arrow as my cursor. That indicates to me that Illustrator is now making that copy of that. If I release the mouse and then release the keys on my keyboard I now see that I was able to reflect the star, but I reflected a copy of it not the original one.
So we'll see this more as we start to draw shapes inside of Illustrator, but we really need to pay attention to how that origin point works and also to make sure that we're clicking and dragging from a point that's far enough away from that origin point in order to give us enough leverage to move that piece of artwork. Let's see how we do that right now. I am going to take these two shapes and just delete them. And let's say we want to create the stripes over here and I want to use maybe an oval or an ellipse to actually create that shape. So I'm going to start over here by taking my Ellipse tool. Again I can use the L key which is the keyboard shortcut for that. If I draw let's say an ellipse right over here and you can't see this lower portion of it kind of matches what I trying to get over here.
So what I'd like to do is somehow match a circle or an oval to kind of come to this part over here. You know, kind of imagine where that oval will be and anticipate where the center that oval might be. So maybe it's like somewhere over and if I'm wrong, again we can always adjust things as we're drawing, so don't worry about it. I am going to click and hold down the Option key, so I'm drawing out from the center. And now as you see I kind of move it here, look at that. I get a shape that kind of matches exactly what I'm trying to do, which is this curve right over here. Let's zoom in a little bit closer here on this area and I can see that I now have a shape that kind of matches this part right here and the instead of me drawing now the second circle, what I can do is I can hit the R key for my Rotate tool, click over here because I want the origin of my rotation to happen at this point right here, and now what I'll do is I'll move my cursor away from that origin point then I'll click and drag and you see now how I'm rotating the circle? But I also want to hold down the Option key, because I want to rotate a copy of my circle and now what I've done is I've created this part of the curve that I'll need and also this part of the curve that I'll need.
Later when we start learning how to use Pathfinder or even the Shape Builder tool inside of Illustrator, I'm going to now take these paths that I've created and combine them or subtract them to get at the final stripe, but for now instead of me struggling with trying to draw that kind of a curve I've used the simple oval shape and I've made a copy of it to create the paths just the way that I need them. This is the experience that we're looking for inside of Illustrator when we talk about drawing without the Pen tool. I get very clean precise paths and I draw them much more quickly than I would if I had to use the Pen tool.

Who wouldn't want to be in a bacon eating contest. It sounds so good. Eating all the bacon you want. That's what you think until you watch the video. The total Matt "Megatoad" Stonie stuffed down is 182 slices of bacon or about 6 lbs in 5 minutes.
Woah! We couldn't be more excited about the summer concert season!
President's Day is Monday (February 16, 2015), which is also the start of the Mid-Winter break in Central New York. Guess what movie is playing for free for the kids at The Stanley?
It may seem like a long way off, but "The Great New York State Fair" in Syracuse is now accepting applications from bands in the state who want to play at the summer event.
What will the new year bring? I always liked to read predictions for the year ahead, and here are some for 2015.
We're all familiar with the usual New Year's resolutions: lose weight, get in shape, quit smoking, cut down on drinking, etc. And while all of those are good intentions, there are some unusual resolutions people can make.
Another New Year's Eve this year without Dick Clark, the creator of "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" which first aired in 1972. Every New Year's Eve, the TV in the McShea household was tuned to that show, and Dick Clark never let us down. Even after his stroke a few years back, he courageously continued with help from Ryan Seacrest. Wednesday Night, ABC rings in the new year with Ryan Seacrest.
Ever since I was a kid growing up in Utica, winter weather always arrived before the start of the winter season. And, such has been the case this year. So, set your watches for the "Winter Soltice" and the official arrival of winter for Sunday, December 21st. Here's what happens.
There are a number of local holiday concerts and performances going on this time of year in the Mohawk Valley, and this Sunday, there's a holiday concert at the Kirkland Art Center in Clinton, New York.

Taking photos is an interest that I neglected for quite a few years. These days, I am trying to find some more time for it. I don't have much in the way of equipment and I alternate between working with Japanese digital toy cameras (Digital Harinezumi 2++, the exemode sq28m Pocket Digital Camera and the Yashica EZ Digital F521) and learning more about how to use a DSLR (at the moment I have a Canon EOS450D) and a Sony NEX-07. At the moment, I mainly take photos of cityscapes, street scenes, landscapes and still life. You can view my ohoto collections online at Flickr & Google+

This college football season has had its fair share of incredible one-handed catches. The one that Miami (OH) tight end Alex Welch hauled in tonight is certainly among the best that we've seen this year. Former Notre Dame and current RedHawks quarterback Andrew Hendrix tried to fire a pass to his tight end, but it was tipped by an Ohio defender. Welch stayed focused, snagged the...

Yankee furthers carbon reductionApril 03,2013
I read about Sen. Bernie Sanders presentation on global warming and the proposed carbon-reduction legislation in the March 14 Burlington Free Press (Sanders, McKibben to highlight carbon conference Saturday). While I support Sen. Sanders endeavor to maintain Vermonts low-carbon leadership status, my question is simple: If we want to reduce Vermonts carbon footprint, why is the state trying to shut down Vermont Yankee?
Not only does Vermont Yankee benefit the state economically, but it for all intents and purposes has zero carbon emissions. Also, the U.S. Energy Information Administration notes that in 2011 three-quarters of the electricity generated in Vermont came from Vermont Yankee.
If the state does succeed in its efforts to close Vermont Yankee, we will lose our largest electricity generator. At present the plants power is sold into the New England transmission grid, from which Vermont draws much of its electricity. Closing Vermont Yankee would just mean more activity from fuel-powered electric generators on the New England grid, creating additional carbon and other toxic airborne emissions.
Sen. Sanders goals are important for Vermont and New England, but they will be compromised without the clean energy from Vermont Yankee.

Description Wal-Mart, Jacksonville
The first Neighborhood Market appeared in Bentonville, Arkansas in 1998. In ten years there were 151 of them open in the United States. Neighborhood Markets are grocery stores, representing something in between the Discount Store and Supercenters. Neighborhood Markets offer a huge variety of products, for example groceries, pharmaceuticals, photo developing services, health and beauty aids, and a limited selection of general merchandise.
Neighborhood Market by Walmart now has the same logo as Wal-Mart does. Supermercado de Wal-Mart intended to open for Hispanic communities in the United States. The first one opened in the Spring Branch area of Houston in 2009.
The store was a conversion of an existing Wal-Mart. Marketside, a chain of grocery stores, opened in 2008 and until the end of 2009 there were four Marketside stores within the state of Arizona.

From the time of his initial run for President, and throughout his time in office, President Barack Obama has had the near universal support of organized labor. Even though he was not able to obtain passage of the unions' much-coveted Employee Free Choice Act (a/k/a "card check"), he has attempted to expand union influence in the American workplace through administrative action by the National Labor Relations Board.
Now, however, it appears that the President's signature piece of legislation, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the "ACA" or "ObamaCare"), is causing dissension within the union movement.
In an August 29 letter to AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, International Longshore and Warehouse Union ("ILWU") President Robert McEllrath cut his union's ties with the labor movement's umbrella organization, citing primarily the fact that the 40,000-member union had become "increasingly frustrated" with the AFL-CIO's support for ObamaCare. Specifically, the leadership of the ILWU was upset because under the ACA, longshoremen will have to pay a "Cadillac Tax" on their health benefits. In contrast to the AFL-CIO, the ILWU has expressed support for nationalized "single-payer" healthcare.
McEllrath accused Trumpka (and President Obama) of reneging on prior promises that a new healthcare plan would not lead to more taxes on union members. McEIlrath further wrote, "We feel the Federation has done a great disservice to the labor movement and all working people" through its support of the ACA and other Obama initiatives such as immigration reform.
The ILWU is not the only union that has issues with ObamaCare. Trade unions such as the 725,000-member International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) are finding out that because of employer reactions to the ACA, their members could end up having to buy their own insurance. On July 11, the IBEW announced a call for changes as to how the ACA treats multi-employer plans. According to the union, the ACA threatens the existence of these plans, which are administered jointly by unions and unionized employers and currently cover approximately 26,000,000 people, because it discourages employers from participating in the plans, and may place existing unionized employers at a financial disadvantage. Other unions that have sought amendments to the ACA include the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and UNITE HERE.
The complaints of various unions have prompted the AFL-CIO to pass a resolution on September 11, 2013, expressing concern with the impact of ObamaCare on the costs and availability of union-sponsored plans. The resolution, adopted at the organization's quadrennial convention in Los Angeles, still expresses support for the ACA's goals of reducing healthcare costs and expanding health insurance coverage, but also objects to the potential "highly disruptive" impact of the law on union health care plans.
The issues raised by unions concerning ObamaCare are just more examples of complications that have arisen with respect to the interpretation and implementation of the law. Only time will tell. For now, labor unions are voicing separation, not solidarity, with ObamaCare.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Kansas coach Roy Williams, who feared his sixth-ranked Jayhawks might be "fat and happy," instead found them merely contented and plump.
Sluggish in their first action since winning the Great Alaska Shootout, the Jayhawks fumbled and stumbled against unranked Pepperdine on Thursday night before finally taking charge for a 76-61 victory.
"I tried to convince them this was a very good basketball team we were playing, that they were a hard team to play against," Williams said. "I don't think we realized that early. Then (Pepperdine) makes their first six shots and they have even more confidence. We were pretty ugly tonight."
Kenny Gregory and Nick Bradford helped the Jayhawks (5-0) get back on track in the second half by triggering a 16-3 run that turned a 39-37 deficit into a 53-42 lead.
"They came out ready for the challenge and we didn't," Kansas guard Luke Axtell said.
The heavily favored Jayhawks did not take the lead until Jeff Boschee's 3-pointer made it 21-20 with 7:05 left.
Forced into 14 turnovers by Pepperdine's alternating pressure defense, Kansas led only 33-30 at halftime and quickly fell behind 39-37 on a 3-pointer by Texale Archie.
But then Gregory and Bradford sparked the game-turning run against the Waves (3-2).
"They have the depth to wear teams down physically and we got worn down," Pepperdine coach Jan van Breda Kolff said. "We played an excellent defensive team."
The Jayhawks, 5-0 for the fifth time in six seasons, held their biggest lead at 67-52 before Pepperdine's Brandon Armstrong canned two straight 3-pointers. Then, with 3:48 left, Archie hit a 3-pointer that sliced the lead to 69-61.
Boschee then made three of four free throws over the next minute and Gregory moved in for a layup that brought the near-sellout crowd to its feet and gave Kansas a 74-61 lead. Gregory had 17 points for Kansas while Gooden and Nick Collison each had 12.
"We took them out of what they wanted to do offensively," Boschee said. "Our defensive pressure turned everything around and we got a run."
Kansas, 22-2 all-time against West Coast Conference teams, outrebounded the shorter Waves 41-26 and committed only six turnovers in the second half. But Pepperdine held the Jayhawks 19 points below the 95 they had been averaging.
Armstrong and Archie each scored 14 points for Pepperdine.
"We created 14 turnovers in the first half and six in the second half, so they might have made adjustments for our press," Archie said. "For the most part, it was us getting fatigued. They ran 10 or 12 guys in there who can all play and we ran out of gas."

The Lars family was a family that lived primarily on the planet Tatooine as moisture farmers. The patriarch of the family, Cliegg and his wife, Aika, had a son named Owen. After his wife died, Cliegg married Shmi Skywalker, whom he freed from slavery. Cliegg's son, Owen, married a girl named Beru Whitesun.
When Anakin Skywalker, the son of Shmi, became Darth Vader, his son, Luke Skywalker, was cared for by Owen and his wife, Beru, whom he called "Uncle Owen" and "Aunt Beru." They were killed by Imperial stormtroopers shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Since they had no blood descendants, the family line ended with them.

Pink Ladies plan monetary donation
The Pink Ladies Auxiliary of the American Legion Hospital of Crowley serves as the steward of the hospital's vending machine proceeds. As one of their ongoing service projects, the group members collect and save the funds to purchase necessary items for the hospital and to donate to larger hospital projects. Board members include, from left, Sylvia Dischler, Gloria LeBlanc (president), Dean Gaspard, Verna Simon, Nettie Romero, Roberta Sonnier and Evelyn Barousse.
The Board of the Pink Ladies of the American Legion Hospital held its first meeting of the year in the conference room of the hospital on Jan. 6 at 9 a.m.
President Gloria LeBlanc called the meeting to order and Lou Cormier led the ladies in the volunteer pledge and prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance.
The secretary, Roberta Sonnier, read the minutes of the Christmas meeting to the 13 members present.
Nettie Romero gave the treasurer's report, which was accepted. Romero requested that $3,000 be transferred to an interest-bearing account and reported that the hospital staff has asked that the Pink Ladies give a monetary donation. The Board approved a donation and President Leblanc will meet with hospital personnel to determine the amount and for what it will be used.
The Board was reminded that the Pink Ladies still pay for the coffee and juice provided twice daily, five days a week, to the patients and their visitors.
Leisa Thibodeaux and Thelma Istre reported on the ladies who have applied to become Pink Ladies. Patricia Beverley, Georgie Prather, Ella Istre and Anna Gaspard are the most recent ladies who have expressed their desire to join the group. Some of the work shifts still need help.
There was a discussion concerning giving extra hours to the ladies who serve as substitutes when a Pink Lady is ill or needs to miss work. A vote was taken and it was decided that if an hour is worked as a sub, it will be counted as two hours.
Pursuant to a request by Leora Amy, hospitality chairman, a vote was taken and it was decided that the Pink Ladies will continue to use the Rice Palace for their general meetings.
The president asked that a carnation be given to a Pink Lady only if she is hospitalized at the American Legion in Crowley. Otherwise, get-well cards are to be sent to the ladies when they are ill. The board was reminded to advise the president or the secretary of any Pink Ladies that are in the hospital or sick.
The meeting was adjourned. The next Board meeting will be held at 9 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 3, in the hospital conference room.

Community Well $2880.00
You can create a better life for an entire community with this gift. This well will eliminate drought for an entire community benefiting the families, schools and churches. This gift provides the materials and labor to build the well.
Why This Matters
A reliable well with cleaner water can immediately cut illnesses and even deaths of children in a community. Many times, traditional water sources like rivers are dirty and the access to the water is slippery and dangerous. And there's a tie between access to a wells and an increase in education; if families don't need to spend hours gathering water daily, children are less likely to be pulled out of school permanently as water carriers.

Youth unemployment in outer east including Maroondah, Knox, Yarra Ranges, Whitehorse and Manningham jumps nearly 50 per cent
- From: Maroondah Leader
- April 07, 2014
YOUTH unemployment in Melbourne's outer east has spiked nearly 50 per cent during the past two years, with a welfare advocacy group labelling the jobless rate a 'generational crisis'.
Melbourne's outer east, which covers municipalities including Maroondah, Knox, Yarra Ranges and parts of Whitehorse and Manningham, experienced the biggest rise in youth unemployment across Victoria.
> > Are you struggling to find work? Tell us below or email email@example.com
The unemployment rate for the region's 15 to 24-year-olds hit 12.4 per cent in February, representing a 48 per cent increase on the 2012 figure.
Brotherhood of St Laurence executive director Tony Nicholson said the statistics showed Victoria was facing a "generational crisis".
''For young people caught up in this jobless spiral this can be a road to long-term poverty and reliance on welfare," he said.
''We know youth unemployment has a profoundly scarring effect on young people that will hurt their life chances, including the prospect of even holding down a job further down the track."
Mr Nicholson said the figures, garnered from a Brotherhood of St Laurence analysis of ABS jobs data, were "bad news" for the Australian economy.
"Future growth and productivity critically depends on the ability of our young people to develop their potential and aspirations," he said.
Nationally, youth unemployment sits at 12.2 per cent.
Mission Australia state director Kylee Bates said the economic downturn had meant small- to medium-sized businesses were now less likely to take on younger, less experienced employees.
Ms Bates said businesses in the eastern suburbs had been approached about the issue of youth unemployment but their response had been "disappointing".
"Employers recognise the challenges of youth unemployment … but they are telling us they have their own challenges to deal with," she said.
Lauren Trautwein, 23, has completed courses to increase her employability but said the job market had recently become tighter and more competitive.
"In the past couple of months I've been tirelessly searching for jobs but it is very hard out there," she said.
"Being knocked back by so many people is tough."
Ms Trautwein, of Bayswater, has applied for administration and reception jobs across the eastern suburbs but has so far been unsuccessful.Originally published as Jobs dry up in Melbourne's east

This entire offseason, I've listed every reason known to man why the New York Yankees shouldn't sign Yu Darvish.
On the other hand, Yoennis Cespedes will be a cheaper venture for the Yanks but with just as much uncertainty.
The latest rumor from The New York Post does not believe the Yankees will go hard after Darvish, while USA Today reports the Yankees at least have interest in Cespedes. However, ESPN New York's Wallace Matthews believes that neither one will sign with the Yankees.
But let's take the rosy road for a second. What if the Yankees signed both of these players and like their fellow countrymen before them (Hideki Matsui, Orlando Hernandez), contribute to a World Series ring?
It's been done before in Yankees' history, and what's to say it can't happen again. Allow me to play devil's advocate for a second and let you know just how good signing these two players could be for New York.

Amgen will pay $315 million in cash to take over KAI Pharmaceuticals. The company has one drug candidate in development, a peptide product called KAI-4169. It is being studied for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are on dialysis.
Through this acquisition, Amgen will acquire worldwide rights excluding Japan to KAI-4169. KAI signed over Japanese rights covering the drug to Ono Pharmaceutical in September 2011. In addition to SHPT, KAI is conducting preclinical research on prehemodialysis applications of KAI-4169.
In connection with Amgen's purchase of KAI, Amgen has provided a loan to enable Phase III development planning for KAI-4169 prior to closing. The peptide candidate is currently in its second Phase II study in CKD patients on dialysis.
KAI-4169 is a novel peptide agonist of the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR), which affects calcium homeostasis by modulating the release of parathyroid hormone (PTH). It is administered intravenously at the same time the patient is undergoing dialysis.
Phase IIa data demonstrated that KAI-4169 resulted in sustained reductions in PTH, phosphorus, calcium, and FGF-23, which are all recognized markers of SHPT. The data also showed that KAI-4169 was well-tolerated; adverse events occurring in two or more subjects included nausea, headache, anxiety, and vomiting. No subjects discontinued use due to adverse events, and the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events was similar in the KAI-4169 and placebo treatment groups.
"KAI has demonstrated encouraging results in the clinic," says Sean E. Harper, M.D., evp of R&D at Amgen. "We are excited about acquiring KAI as well as the opportunity to potentially deliver a novel therapy for chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis suffering from secondary hyperparathyroidism."
Steve James, president and CEO of KAI, adds, "Amgen is ideally positioned to bring KAI-4169 to market and to patients given the company's decades of experience in developing and delivering therapies for patients with chronic kidney disease."
The transaction has been approved by the stockholders of KAI and approved by the board of directors of each company. Once completed KAI will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Amgen.

By what i've understand till now it can be used as an extra force to the d5 square when playing against the sicilian...But sometimes just crumps my position..So probably it's not always a recommended move...What could you advise about it? :O
I think it can be good against the Boleslavsky hole pawn structure, stopping the d5 break.
This is hard to say. It makes a lot of sense to play Be2 to support g4 and h5 in many sharp lines. In the Dragon, and especially the Yugoslav proper, Bc4 is played to stop an easy d5 yes.
In the Boleslavky and the Najdorf structures with d6-e5, you can see it too. If black is slow to develop, a well supported knight in the centre can be very annoying.
Regardless of all that, there is a line called the Sozin or the Fischer against the d6-e6 pawn structure. The idea is somewhat different here. It is more likely white has intentions to place a sac on e6 or thereabout. If black unsuspectingly carries on with a6,b5 Bb7 or even Nbd7, blocking Bc8, he might be in for a surprise. The line a6,b5, Bb7 is normal, but it needs to be played accurately.
A general rule in chess is that all general rules in chess will have significant exceptions. ;)
Bc4 can be bad:
- If black has prepared the d5-push with e6- If black is ready to push b5 - If black has discovered attacks along c-file- If black wants to play Ne5 or Na5 anyways- If a knight on b3 is blocking the natural retreat.
Bc4 can be good:
- If d5 can be effectively prevented. - If you can target e6 and f7 with for example f4-f5-push.- If you can anticipate b5 or d5 by Bb3.
Some Variations:
- It is really bad usually against Taimanov or Paulsen setups. (e6 and a6 played very quick.)- Bc4 is common against the Dragon as black has allready played d6 and is not ready to push b5 yet.- Bc4 can be played against Najdorf or Scheveninger in combination with f4-f5 quick assault.- Bc4 can be played in classic GPA if black has played d6 early on.- Bc4 is the move in Anti-Sveshnikov. (Italian setup against e5/c5/Nc6) - Bc4 will be recommended in some Morra-Gambit or Alapin variations. - Bc4 is a good move in some ultra-sharp variations like open O'Kelly Sicilian.
Well..i think all of you(especially Turm_), completely and very well-posted, answered the question and thanks a lot for that.. c ya around... Scott as always with his laconic way lol :p

Global Stocks Near a Five-Year High
Aaron Task analyzes the morning business headlines
Aaron Task analyzes the morning business headlines
Adrian: The Fascist-liberals are terrified of a Trump presidency, as Trump might re-kindle the love of FREEDOM in America, that the Fascist liberals have worked so very hard, for 50 years, to destroy, in the name of equality and Wealth re-distribution. They used Massive Government Oppression, to enforce their 'new' 'fair' society. A little US History here. The Fascist-liberals used those 5,000 black race riots, 1963-1973, to bring down the White US Federal Government and install a 'new' society in their own image. Blacks, a 12% minority, (With Fascist-liberal support) acquired their Vast Powers over America by the 'liberal' use of Violence and Terrorism. Blacks committed 5,000 race riots, 250,000 race riot fires 1963-1973. And even put the US Military into race Mutiny during the Cold War and Vietnam. All this and much more, to "Win" their civil rights laws. IE Terrorist laws. . A few of the many, many riots of 1964, as an example of what those 10 years were like. 1. New York City–July 18-23–1 killed–144 injured–519 arrested– 541 stores damaged! 2. Rochester–July 24-25–4 killed–350 injured– 976 arrested–204 stores damaged. 3. Jersey City–August 2-4--46 injured–52 arrested– 71 stores damaged. 4. Paterson–August 11-13–8 injured–65 arrested–20 stores damaged. 5. Elizabeth–August 11-13–6 injured–18 arrested–17 stores damaged. 6. Chicago (Dixmoor) August 16-17–57 injured–80 arrested–2 stores damaged. 7. Philadelphia–August 28-30– 341 injured–774 arrested–225 stores damaged. PS. How Fascist-liberals used Terrorism to get their civil rights laws passed. From Congressional Record, as DC burned 1968. Rep. Edwards of Alabama "In this atmosphere of violence, riots, looting, and burning, charged with emotions, we are asked to legislated. People are saying that now we must pass the civil rights bill. And we are told that it must be done now ---- without proper debate. Just pass it and get the riots stopped. But what happens then? Where does it stop? Must we pass a new law every time there is a riot?"

We're thrilled to announce that Trevor Romain's "With You All the Way: Dealing with Deployment" is now available through Military OneSource! We know that so many of you have been eagerly anticipating this release as much as we have.
Trevor himself penned a blog post for us awhile back, and had this to say about the DVD: "It deals with all stages of deployment; from pre-deployment, deployment, and re-integration. We teach the same main characters, Jack and Skye, how to help their buddies, Darrell, Brittany, and Pablo, deal with their families' particular stage of deployment. Along the way, I interact with these animated characters and guide them through the story."
The DVD is designed for children ages 6 through 10, but is equally valuable - and enjoyable! - for older siblings and parents. We hope your family enjoy's "With You All the Way" as much as we do and that it make deployments just a little bit easier. Watch the trailer below!

Just thought I would try a new style that had cotton as it's primary fabric.
