PATRICA at merrick Bank let me know in no uncertain terms that merrick Bank will chargea late fee whenever they d**n will feel like it. I WAS PISSED. kNOWING I could not talk to her and she would not transfer the call to a manager or supervisor I got off the line with PATRICA...SHE WAS ROUGH TO SAY THE LEAST
Fuming I got on the net found similar complaints regarding merrick Bank. Ripoff Report is a good place to start but there are many other sites. Because PATRICA was so cocky about my concern I set about deflating her massive ego.
Making a long story short I transfered my merick balance to another credit card and I thank PATRICA for that . Happy days PATRICA YOU ARE THE BEST WEAPON FOR merrick BANK NOI TO ACHIEVE THEIR 0BJECTIVES.

Not A Drama Queen
SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 12, 2013POSTED: Thursday, December 12, 2013
To consumer Ken before you make comments you should do you homework. If I was the only one complaining about ramdom late fee charges perhaps you may have a case but if you read through the 188 comlaints listed on RR you would notice the pattern and understand this is a real problem and not an isolated one. I was furious when I wrote my compalint so I am going to augment it now with facts that may make things clearer for you and others. I am not late with my payments chronic or otherwise and this I can PROVE!!!!!
Last month I was charged a 25.00 late fee with Merrick Bank. Mind you I mailed their payment at the same time I mailed Capital One, Capital One was sent to Utah and they got it on time and Merrick was mailed to Tampa (where I live) and they said they did not get it on time. Just so you know, it is not unusal to get Tampa to Tampa mailings the next day with a maximum of 3 days.
I called Merrick and got PA-TRICA who had no problem disparging the Post Office on their delivery practices to justify this 25.00 late fee. After going 7 or 8 rounds with PA-TRICA.
I told her I would take care of this problem myself.
I immediately applied and was accepted for another credit card, transfered the major portion of the Merrick balance to it (I left them with a couple of hundred dollars) and wondered what they gained with this dubious practice of charging late fees when not warranted.
PA-TRICA made it clear the Post Office does not like Merrick Bank so I now pay them electronically (I found one of those cash places that will allow you to make credit card payments in real time and there can be NO dispute when Merrick Bank receives it.
Charging late fees randomly because you can always blame the Post Office is the lowest of business practices and should be called out each and every time it is done.
For the record, with all the new technology and competition I think the Post Office is doing a great job, better than ever. I continue to mail my other credit card payments and have had no problems, I guess the Post Office likes them. As Matter of fact, the card I transferred the balance to sent me an email 4 days after I mailed my payment to let me know they received it (they are located in PA.) Now that is taking care of business.
Thank you PA-TRICA for opening my eyes to the dubious practices at Merrick and my new credit card compay thanks you as well...they now get all that interest!!!!

"PATRICA at merrick Bank let me know in no uncertain terms that merrick Bank will chargea late fee whenever they d**n will feel like it."
Or did they have reason(s)? If they really just arbitrarily charged you, notify your states banking commissioner.
If you're just a drama queen and you were late, chronically or otherwise...grow up.

Emperor Palpatine is the go-to bad guy in the Star Wars Galaxy. Maybe that's because he's the supreme commander of Galactic Empire, the no-holds-barred force that rules the Galaxy by terror. Or maybe it's because he is the ultimate Sith lord, wielding command of incomprehensible dark powers. Either way we think it's a great character to portray so we have some top notch choices for you.
While we only get a sneak peak of the Emperor in the Empire Strikes Back, we finally meet the penultimate villain in Return of the Jedi. Then we learn of his secret plans to over through the Alliance to Restore the Republic and convert a young Luke Skywalker to the dark side. Unfortunately his own plans are foiled when his own apprentice, good ol Mr. Darth Vader throws him down a very deep Death Star shaft.
We learn a great deal more about Palpatine in the prequel trilogy, as he is a central character and we learn of the grand strategy he orchestrates to allow for his Empirical plans to come to fruition. If you are ready to become the epic villain for your upcoming event, look no further than our Emperor Palpatine Costume selections. We've got two great versions of his disfigured look from Revenge of the Sith. We've also got a couple great Palpatine masks that pair easily with a black robe to emulate his classic look from Return of the Jedi. Grab one of these costumes and start your planning!

(Updated with comment from UnboundID)
Mountain View, Calif. - The group developing a specification to support open cloud provisioning completed its first interoperability test Wednesday with five vendors linking their implementations and exchanging user data.
The Simple Cloud Identity Management (SCIM) protocol, first unveiled in May at the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW), returned to that same venue to test what they have been building.
"Short of a few minor issues discovered during the interop, the specification is nearly ready for 1.0 status and an expanded conversation with the broader identity community," said Nicholas Crown, director of product marketing at UnboundID.
SCIM is a data access protocol for provisioning and managing user identity in the cloud. It supports creating, editing, deleting, querying and retrieving user resources. The intent is to create a fast and efficient way for enterprises to provide access to cloud services.
For years, cloud providers have been touting how easy and cost effective it is to adopt online services. The behind-the-scenes enterprise pain, however, is user management, namely provisioning and deprovisioning users into and out of those environments.
Wednesday, Nexus, SailPoint, Salesforce.com, UnboundID and Ping Identity linked their wares via SCIM messages formatted in either XML or JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and began sharing user data. The data exchange was secured using Basic Auth and OAuth.
Nexus acted as a proxy storing and forwarding data among the four end-points.
SailPoint used its IdentityIQ software, which lets users govern and provision identity data, to bundle a select set of data about a user and send it to Salesforce.com via the Nexus proxy. Nexus transformed the message from Basic Auth security and XML formatting to OAuth and JSON. Salesforce.com took the information and created a user account in its system.
The message could just as easily been sent directly between the two systems, but Nexus was there to showcase the options available to the end-points.
Ping pulled 25 attributes out of Microsoft's Active Directory, converted that into an XML-based SCIM format and sent it to UnboundID. Nexus converted the format to JSON before sending it to the UnboundID directory where the user account was created.
The day before the interoperability test, UnboundID announced support for SCIM in its directory, which is now the first commercially available directory to support the protocol.
Members of the SCIM effort said during a packed session at IIW on Tuesday that they hope to host a Birds of a Feather session at an upcoming meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a way to explore standardization of the protocol.
Completion of Version 1 of the specification should come in the next month or so along with the start of work on Version 2. The second SCIM version is the one planned for submission to a standards body.
The SCIM work has been led by Cisco, Google, Ping Identity, SailPoint, Salesforce.com, VMware, and UnboundID.

This last weekend I had a swarm land in my yard. I'll include a photo. They seemed healthy and what I thought was large group. I am a total novice and quickly made some phone calls and decided to attempt to keep these bees instead of exterminate them. With the help of a couple of beekeepers from Tucson who sold (and leant) me some gear I put together a hive and got the bees in it. Now that it's been a few days things seem to be changing and I hope it's ok.
Question 1:
What is the normal life cycle for a swarm? How many typically die as the swarm tries to establish itself? As I estimate that they have a very short time period to get some brood going before the workers start to die a typical death (~5-6 weeks). If they don't get brood going in time the entire swarm might perish.
Question 2:
The first day I fed them with a mix of sugar water (1:1) and some honey-b-healthy mix. They consumed about 2/3rds of a quart in a day. I made a fresh batch and the 2nd day they consumed less than 1/2 a quart. The 3rd day less than a 1/4th, and today less than 1/8th. It could be that they are no longer malnourished due to swarming and are finding food locally? Is this typical?
Question 3:
The first couple days I realized I hadn't atached the foundation properly since I didn't know what I was doing. I checked the hive and it had fallen to the bottom in the sunny day. I found a store and bought better stuff, and over 2 days replaced the sagging foundation with plastic foundation in the center but wax covered so it'll stand up to Phoenix heat. Thus I opened the box a couple times in the evening and saw many bees. Today I opened it during the day and there were probably only half as many bees. Is this typical? Are they gone or were they just off working?
I was shocked to see so few and very saddened by the experience. Even though it's only been a week I really want these critters to flourish. After all I've already spent $400 or so to give them a good try.
Thanks for your time and postings to the web site and sharing your experience.

SLIDESHOW: SR 99 "Tunnel in a Box" tour given as WSDOT prepares to bore
A few hundred people showed up at Milepost 31 – the information center in Pioneer Square for the SR 99 Tunnel project – on the evening of Sept. 6 to take a guided tour from the Washington State Department of Transportation, and were rewarded with a close up glimpse of the work zone and many facts.
Attendees were led on a free mile-long walk to the west of the work zone where crews are currently digging an 80 foot deep "launch pit" from where the world's largest tunnel-boring machine will launch in 2013. Towering cranes and massive drilling rigs were hard at work in preparation for the machine's arrival from Osaka, Japan where it is being built.
The goal of the $3 billion project is to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct by building a tunnel under downtown Seattle's waterfront section, connecting the new SR 99, south of downtown, to Aurora Ave. in the north and opening it up for traffic in 2015. According to WSDOT, the advantages will be a safer, "seismically sound replacement for the viaduct" and the freeing up of precious land on Seattle's waterfront for future development.
Guiding the tour, giving out facts and answering questions were Matt Preedy, WSDOT viaduct project director, construction manager consultant Chris Bambridge and Chris Dixon, project manager for the Seattle Tunnel Partners contractor on the job.
Here are some facts shared during the tour:
- The tunnel boring machine (TBM) will eventually go under the existing viaduct at Yesler Way in its 14-plus month journey, so WSDOT is doing temporary reinforcement from that point north to ensure it remains stable during construction (the reinforcements will do nothing for earthquake safety). - Preedy
- In preparation for the TBM's arrival, drilling rigs are punching holes in the earth that will eventually be filled with five foot diameter concrete piles on both sides of the tunnel "to protect the viaduct (and port infrastructure) as they do the excavation." Imagine two vertical walls of concrete, hence the term "Tunnel in a Box" – Bambridge
- The boring begins west of CenturyLink Field and the TBM will cut down at a four degree angle through alluvial fill that came from the Denny Regrade (where there used to be water) until it hits natural ground and starts heading back up.
- As the TBM bores, several monitoring instruments will be put in the ground and on buildings surrounding the project to monitor how the earth and buildings are moving in reaction to the work. - Bambridge
- The TBM itself, the largest ever made, is 57.5 feet in diameter, 326 feet long and weighs in at 6700 tons. The manufacturing is nearly complete and the Japanese manufacturer will use the rest of the year assembling it there for testing, then break it back down for shipment. - Dixon
- Speaking of shipment, the machine will be broken down into 40 pieces and sailed to Terminal 46. Seattle Tunnel Partners originally hoped to have fewer shipments of larger pieces, "but with the capacity of the pier from a structural standpoint and the weight of the pieces … we had to go with a smaller option." The largest pieces will weigh 900 tons. – Dixon
- Five tons of metal will grind off the TBM's 900 ton cutter head as it bores. - Dixon
- Tunneling will take 14 months at a minimum as the TBM moves at 6.5 foot increments. At each stop, the crew will install 20 ton concrete rings to form the tunnels shell. A total of 1455 rings, being made in Puyallup, will be installed. It will take 7000 truck trips to get the rings to the tunnel.
In other news, Preedy pointed out that by mid-September the northbound lanes of Highway 99 (from Holgate to King Street) will open. The southbound lane has been carrying both directions of traffic.
As for the remaining viaduct columns and rusty pipes seen jutting into the sky just west of CenturyLink, Preedy said those are the beginning of a railroad bypass bridge at S. Atlantic Street intended to keep freight moving when trains block the intersection at Alaskan Way S. The bridge is expected to be completed in 2013.
Interested in taking the tour yourself? (Information from WSDOT)
For those who did not attend, a new self-guided tour is available. Displays have been installed along the bicycle/pedestrian path to describe construction activities, machinery at work and the area's history. Access to the path's north entrance is available at South King Street and Alaskan Way South, a few blocks south of Colman Dock, or the south entrance is at South Atlantic Street and Alaskan Way South, west of Safeco Field. Maps are available at Milepost 31.
Learn more about the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program atwww.alaskanwayviaduct.org/ and Milepost 31, which is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and is open late during Pioneer Square's First Thursday Art Walk. Admission to Milepost 31 is free.

YoPros Mix it Up With Textiles Vets
April 7, 2012,
The panelists included:
● Chris Baker, ceo of Hollander Home Fashions;
● Louis Hornick II, chairman and ceo of Louis Hornick & Co.;
● Barry Leonard, president and ceo of Welspun USA;
● Norman Savaria, president and ceo of WestPoint Home.
The YoPros were ready for them with queries about a host of subjects.
One of the first questions addressed the recent wave of despecing product to meet a predetermined price. Had the practice finally hit a floor? The YoPros wanted to know.
The answer: Yes. The execs noted that soaring raw material costs and higher labor prices in manufacturing countries had reversed more than a decade of steady price deflation.
"I think what happened over the last decade was an anomaly," said Baker. "I don't think we'll see it again."
Added Hornick: "Nothing goes down forever."
The panelists agreed that the good/better/best merchandising configuration is an entrenched formula that is likely to endure.
"It's an easy way to communicate with the consumer," said Savaria. "If [the message] is clear, it's going to win."
A fair amount of time was spent on the subject of branding. Do brands matter if they're not already household names? What is the future of private label brands? How does one assign a value to a brand?
"It's really about how the consumer values a brand," said Leonard. He also cautioned: "Brands built around celebrities can be risky, as we've all seen. You have to have someone you trust will be around."
Baker discussed Hollander's launch six months ago of its own brand, Live Comfortably. He was a skeptic, he said. "Now we've got the brand in 12 retailers - with meaningful volume."
Savaria offered three criteria for establishing a brand. "A brand requires discipline, vision and patience," he said.
He noted that his daughter shops very differently than he does. She doesn't shop one brand. "She shops 10 different stores and puts together [her own brand]."
Hornick identified new media as a game-changer for brand development. "The social media phenomenon makes it much easier to promote a brand. You don't have to spend $200,000 for a page in a shelter magazine," he said.
When asked if they saw another big-box retailer emerging on the horizon, all agreed the internet was the place to look.
"I think it's more interesting to ask what Amazon is doing to Best Buy than what Best Buy is doing to other retailers," said Hornick.
Added Baker: "For companies like ours, the question is how to respond to that." The internet is increasingly the place to go for basic goods, "especially if you're buying solid colors and it's not a fashion item," he said.
It's possible to grow a bricks and mortar retail concept with a well-defined niche, said Leonard.
"Anna's Linens is a good example," he said. "They've got about 300 stores, but they've got a laser-like focus on ethnic consumers."
None of the panelists believe domestic production will return in any meaningful way. What they do here, each said, exists simply because it is the most cost-effective way of producing that particular product.
"It's really the products of the future that you people need to think of and conceive that will create the opportunity for domestic production," said Hornick, addressing the young crowd.
Added Leonard: "You have so many ideas that we need, and you need to be bringing them forward all the time. Sitting up here as ceos, we're great at history. You're the ones who are going to bring us forward into the future."

This document provides information about the labelling and performance requirements that apply under the Hazardous Products (Tents) Regulations to tents that are manufactured, imported, advertised or sold in Canada.
The intent of this document is to:
This document is an unofficial summary of the safety requirements for tents. It is not intended to substitute for, supersede or limit the requirements under the applicable legislation. In case of any discrepancy between this summary and the legislation, the legislation will prevail. For further information, contact a Health Canada Consumer Product Safety Office via email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or telephone at 1-866-662-0666 (toll-free within Canada and the United States).
To obtain information on the legislative requirements for tents not covered in this document, refer to the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act and its Regulations listed under Appendix A - Information Resources.
This document may be updated from time to time. For the most recent version, consult Health Canada's Web site.
In addition to the product-specific requirements noted in this document, it is prohibited to manufacture, import, advertise or sell any consumer product that is a "danger to human health or safety" as defined in the CCPSA (see paragraphs 7(a) and 8(a)).
The onus is on industry to comply with the legislation.
The Consumer Product Safety Program administers and enforces the CCPSA and the regulations made under it. Enforcement actions taken by Product Safety Officers on noncompliant products depend on the degree of hazard associated with noncompliance, and include commitment to product correction by industry, negotiation with industry for the voluntary removal of these products from the market, seizure and/or prosecution under the CCPSA. Any person that manufactures, imports, advertises, or sells noncompliant products that result in property damage, injury or death may also be subject to legal liability.
Tents manufactured, imported, advertised or sold in Canada are subject to the CCPSA and must meet the flammability performance requirements and labelling requirements set out in the Hazardous Products (Tents) Regulations (referred to as the Tents Regulations in this document).
Tents, as defined in Item 31.1 of Part II of Schedule I to the Hazardous Products Act (HPA), are shelters made in whole or in part of fabric or other pliable materials.
Products that are considered as tents include, but are not limited to:
Products that are not considered tents include:
Manufacturers are advised to verify that all their materials comply with the flammability requirements prior to assembly. However, compliance of the tent will be assessed on the finished product. The flammability requirements apply to all pliable flooring, wall and top materials used in a tent. If more than one material is used, each component material shall be tested independently. A component is considered to be materials of different fabric weights and/or colours, flexible plastic windows, or materials with different applied finishes. Thread, zippers, ropes, hook and loop fasteners, labels, and other such trim are not subject to the flammability requirements of the regulations.
Be aware that modifying the materials by applying coatings, screen printing inks or other finishes can affect the flammability of a tent. Make sure that all materials are tested as found in the finished product.
In accordance with the procedure set out in Schedule II of the Tents Regulations:
A wall and top material sample unit does not comply with the flammability requirements if:
In accordance with the procedure set out in Schedule II of the Tents Regulations:
A flooring material sample unit does not comply with the flammability requirements if any specimen in a sample unit displays any damage within 25 mm of the edge of the hole in the flattening frame.
See also the Clarification of Test Method section of this document.
Flammability test results must be reported for each component material and must include the data from the three required sample units (as received, after leaching and after weathering).
The following test results must be reported for each sample unit of wall and top material:
The following test results must be reported for each sample unit of flooring material:
Mandatory bilingual (English and French) labelling is required by the Tents Regulations. The label must be permanently affixed to the tent in a prominent location, and must remain clear and legible for the useful life of the product. Additional information may be printed on the label as long as it does not contradict or weaken the required information.
All tents must bear a label that displays the following statement, word for word, as prescribed in Section 4(a) of the Tents Regulations, in upper-case letters not less than 3 mm in height:
The label must also display the following statement, word for word, as prescribed in Section 4(b) of the Tents Regulations:
As per Section 4(c) of the Tents Regulations, the label must also display the information set out in Schedule I or words that convey the same meaning.
The following precautions should be taken when camping:

With regards to the labelling requirements stated in Section 4(c) of the Tents Regulations, play tent labels need only display 1(a) of Schedule I or words that convey the same meaning:
Do not use candles, matches or open flames of any kind in or near a tent. / Ne jamais utiliser de bougies, d'allumettes, ni aucune autre flamme nue à l'intérieur ou à proximité de la tente.
The Tents Regulations reference specific sections of the 1980 version of CPAI-84 - A Specification for Flame-Resistant Materials Used in Camping Tentage, and the 1995 version is not referenced.As a result, a product that meets the requirements of either version of CPAI-84 may not meet all of the requirements of the Tents Regulations.
CPAI-84 (1995) allows an exemption for no-see-ums type mesh netting and mesh materials weighing 50 g/m2 or less, and has a test method modification for lightweight fabrics with a mass of less than 100 g/m2. The exemption and test method modification are not included in the Tents Regulations and, as such, these materials are subject to the full testing requirements of the regulations.
Since access to Carbon Arc weathering equipment is limited, the use of any one of the three weathering methods stipulated under section 4.2 of CPAI-84 (1995) is accepted. These methods are Carbon Arc, Xenon Lamp Exposure, and Fluorescent UV and Condensation Method. The method selected and results shall be noted in the manufacturers and importers records.
Since Matheson Manufactured Gas Type B is no longer available, methane gas that meets the specifications of section 6.2.4 of CPAI-84 (1995) shall be used in its place.

I analyzed the chords of 1300 popular songs for patterns. This is what I found. | Blog – Hooktheory
"In this article, we'll look at the statistics gathered from 1300 choruses, verses, etc. of popular songs to discover the answer to a few basic questions. First we'll look at the relative popularity of different chords based on the frequency that they appear in the chord progressions of popular music. Then we'll begin to look at the relationship that different chords have with one another. For example, if a chord is found in a song, what can we say about the probability for what the next chord will be that comes after it?"

like a river in my back yard
We have a retention basin on the side of our house, all the rain, from the houses on the uphill side of us, runs down through our backyard like a river and into the basin. After it rains the "river" stays soggy for over a week. Any ideas how to get it to drain better? Or to dry it out? When I mow, the river area gets matted down and looks terrible. It's about 3 feet wide and 125 feet long.
crushed stone
I had a similar situation when building a Habitat house and we did what I saw them do at our local golf course. Scoop out the middle of the stream to a depth of about one foot and taper the sides up to grade level. You will need a small back hoe. Put a sheet of heavy plastic in the bottom of the stream bed and fill with good sized crushed stone up to the level of the lawn. We already had our building permit for the whole house. Check with the building inspector to see if you need a permit or there are other regulations.
I'd suggest that you approach this very cautiously. What you're describing sounds like a stromwater detention pond that is probably part of the housing developments stormwater pollutant prevention plan. I don't work in Pennsylvania, so I don't know what agencies regulate Stormwater or their rules. In most states it's the Department of Environmental Quality or Department of Health. Depending on the size of your community, the municipality may also have regulatory authority. If you impact part of a permitted stormwater management system, and you cause an exceedence of a water quality standard, you may open yourself up to serious legal issues. Additionally, if you start digging in creek channels that may be connected to waters of the U.S. you may need to deal with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act which is regulated through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Violations to Section 404 can result in huge fines.
I'm not saying don't do anything, I'm just suggesting that you do your homework first. I wouldn't want to see you get in trouble.
On a more practical standpoint, getting the pond to dry is a complicated question. If its a constructed pond it may be designed so that it doesnt drain quickly. It may have a clay lining that is intended to slow infiltration. However it may have been designed to infiltrate, but has accumulated sediment over the years that is slowing infiltration. When I design these, I like to get things to infiltrate as fast as possible unless Ive got a high water table and am concerned with impacts to ground water quality. If that is not the case, your best bet is to remove the accumulated sediment. Unfortunately thats not as easy as it sounds either. Youd probably need to have the material tested to ensure it doesnt have any regulated pollutants like metals. If it does, youll need to jump through hoops to dispose of the material.
One other option that you could look into would be to plant vegetation species that has a high transpiration rate. I can't recommend anything because I don't know what grows well in Pennsylvania. You'd want to make sure this is in line with the functioning of the strormwater plan.
I wish you luck!

Could cosmic rays be influencing climate by charging up more frequent lightning storms? European researchers hope to answer that question in the inaugural issue of the International Journal of Global Warming.
Several factors influence global climate change. Long-term influences that work over hundreds of thousands of years have an astronomical origin, namely the eccentricity, axial tilt and precession of the Earth's orbit. Natural processes on earth, such as volcanic activity and lightning also affect the levels of particulates in the atmosphere and so affect climate. Higher levels of particulates in the atmosphere increase cloud cover, which reduces the amount of energy from sunlight absorbed by the earth's surface.
However, our burning of fossil fuels at an increasingly high rate is adding the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, at alarming rates. This activity together with human activities that are also raising levels of other greenhouse gases, including methane, are cause for concern and underpin efforts to prevent irreversible climate change.
Heitor Reis and Cláudia Serrano of the Geophysics Centre of Évora, Portugal, point out that another factor must be considered in detailed climate models. They explain that on a shorter timescale, solar activity, which follows an eleven-year cycle, may have a subtle effect not previously recognised.
Their research suggests that the eleven year solar cycle causes a rise and fall in cosmic rays reaching the earth's surface and so causes a rise and fall in lightning activity. Less solar activity means higher cosmic rays flux and fewer lightning storms, whereas at times of maximum solar activity there are fewer charged particles in the atmosphere so it is more resistant to the smooth flow of charge and lightning bolts occur as the resistance suddenly breaks down.
This lightning effect is in turn affected by the amount of particulate matter in the atmosphere, which depends on fossil fuel burning. The team explains that these two confounding factors also influence cloud cover and so depending on the specific point at which we are in the solar cycle the effect of particulates from fossil fuel burning may have a positive or negative effect on storms, cloud cover, and so the earth's ability to reflect away energy from sunlight.
When solar activity is close to its minimum cosmic rays will increase cloud cover and lightning, which will almost completely cancel out the warming effect of added greenhouse gases at that point in time.

Our Priorities
> Youth Development
Working together, we are building an exemplary out-of-school time system where all our children and youth will have safe, fun places to learn so they are successful in school and life.
Laugh. Learn. Achieve.
That winning combination is the way students identify what they can gain by participating in the Excel Beyond the Bell program, which keeps young people involved in constructive activities when school is out. Out-of-school time programs that use positive youth development practices promote social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth.
In January 2007, Montgomery County leaders learned that several key ingredients to academic, career and community success were missing in out-of-school time for some children and youth in the county.
The Collaboration Council received $100,000 in county funding to serve as the intermediary organization that would create the framework for this system. In March 2008, Excel Beyond the Bell was launched. It is our hope to bring this effective EBB model with proven success to even more school communities in the future.
Convening Partners for Change
- Partnership Group: Addressing four system-wide goals for communications and advocacy, professional development and quality standards, financing and resources, and information and accountability.
- Career Pathways for Youth Work Practitioners Committee: Developing a youth workforce development system, including OST worker competencies; training aligning with competencies; high school internships; credit earning courses; and career tracks and compensation.
- Sustainability and Expansion Workgroup: Creating a strategic plan that identifies the costs and other factors for the overall system infrastructure and the ultimate delivery of services at all middle schools.
Serving Youth
- Collaborating with the Montgomery County Recreation Department and MCPS, we are building a school-based, out-of-school-time (OST) system with an array of OST programs, hot supper and bus transportation for our students, and free professional development to all youth workers in the following middle schools: Argyle, Clemente, Loiederman, Forest Oak, and Neelsville.
- The service approach includes 28 weeks of programming for 2 1/2 hours per day, four days per week.
- Data are collected and analyzed to assess participation; adherence to quality standards, participant satisfaction, and impact on academic success and positive youth development.

Anna and the Mets: Benson Excited About N.Y.
At this time of year, everyone in New York is an expert on baseball. Enter Anna Benson, who brings new meaning to the term "Hot Stove." With all the rumors, trade talk and the free agent frenzy that occupies Mets fans these days, opinions are handed out like Santa's presents.
Benson, the wife of Mets right-hander Kris Benson and FHM pinup girl, is no different.
"I love Pedro. I watched his career for years and I am not very interested in baseball or sports, but there are just certain people you keep an eye out for and Pedro is one of them," Anna Benson said. "I think that Pedro is going to help see tickets at Shea and that is an important thing."
She even has some ideas on how the Mets can improve with this acquisition.
"Next on my wish list is Sammy Sosa. I absolutely love Sammy and I think he would be great on the team. I think he would draw so many fans and sell so many tickets," she said. "I have been pecking at the Mets to pick him up."
With the way the rumors are flying these days, she might get her wish.
That's the way things are going to Kris and Anna Benson. The happy couple has had a year that most people dream about; with a new three year, $22.5 million dollar contract for Kris, a modeling and acting career for Anna and a Congressional Citation for their charity, Benson's Battalion .
Not to mention a new home in New York City.
"We love New York," she said. "The people are so awesome; the shopping is so amazing and the food is just off the hook. I have never been anyplace like New York all my life."
Besides the city and its atmosphere, Anna speaks very highly of Met owners, Fred and Jeff Wilpon and their type of management. It was one of the reasons why they chose to only negotiate with New York, even though their hometown Atlanta Braves was interested. "The Wilpons are very generous and very open-minded. They know me; know how I am; and they know most of what I say are jokes," Mrs. Benson said. "They laugh like crazy when I say stuff to them."
That generosity also runs through the Benson household, given they donate millions to various police, fire and EMS units. Benson's Battalion was started after the attacks of 9/11 because Anna felt that many of the police departments around the country did not have sufficient first strike gear in case there was another attack.
"It is a charity like no other kind," she said. "Police officers are not allowed to ask for money and I didn't think that was fair' so I developed a charity that I could ask for the money for them."
For their efforts, Rep. Melissa Hart (R-PA) last February submitted a statement to the Congressional Record on Benson's behalf about what the charity has accomplished over the past few years.
Even with all the good work the Bensons have accomplished with through the charity, it has been Anna's career that has been taking the spotlight.
In the December issue of FHM, Anna was featured in a semi-nude photo shoot and answered some sexually explicit questions. To further the point she recently claimed on "The Howard Stern Show" that she would sleep with the whole Met team if her husband suddenly became unfaithful.
Anna claims all of this was in good fun and most of what she says is a joke, but also wants to make a point about baseball players' infidelities.
"My point of that whole thing is if you want to embarrass me and get some hooker to cheat on me, then I will embarrass you so badly that you won't be able to do your job again," Mrs. Benson said. "If all the girls start thinking like me, then their husbands won't screw around too much."
Kris has been faithful and she has no reason to get her revenge. Anna really just wants to enjoy her time in New York and start pursuing her acting career. And if that doesn't work out, she could always advise the Mets on player moves.

July 7, 1937
HYDE PARK, Tuesday—I have scanned the papers with such anxiety since Friday evening when I first heard over the radio that Amelia Earhart and her pilot were missing. I never feel like giving up hope for anyone who has courage, until every possible chance of rescue is over, for I think resourceful, courageous people will fight with every means at hand until they are completely worn out. This morning I feel more hopeful than before and I am hanging on the end of the telephone hoping to hear good news of her.
I feel sure that if she comes through safely she will feel that what she has learned makes it all worthwhile but her friends will wish that science could be served without quite so much risk to a fine person whom many people love as a person and not as a pilot or adventurer.
There is in Washington, a really fine A Capella Choir which is at present singing for a short time at the Chautauqua Institute in Chautauqua, New York. Mrs. Stahl, who has mothered this choir, writes me that for a long time she has hoped that she could induce people who are interested in music to help on the promising voices that she may discover by offering some "voice scholarships." I do not know just what she has in mind, but I have long thought that these choirs are valuable in any community because they help to develop community singing and community singing has a double purpose. It gives the people who partake a certain amount of training, but at the same time it enhances their appreciation of music and educated the community as a whole to be more music conscious. Therefore, I would be interested in seeing small scholarships established which would enable young people to join these choruses or choirs and receive enough remuneration to give them a boost in whatever work they might be doing on the outside.
We have had a quiet few days with few visitors, James arrived on Sunday morning, and he and Betsey left Monday evening, and so did my husband.
One visitor only remained and this morning at seven-thirty we rode for two hours in the woods and survived the mosquitoes and flies.
The picnic Sunday for the newspaper fraternity was fairly cool and in consequences everyone could enjoy even the sunny spots on the lawn. Our foreign guests Professor and Mrs. Ludwig were a little surprised by the informality of the occasion and explained that what they called a garden party for the press in Europe would require top hats and frock coats. No one would engage in any activity but bowing over the tea cups. "And, where" he asked, "are the military?" We explained as best we could that we did not need soldiers, but we realized that our ways are hard for European biographers to understand.

Taliban gunmen have killed at least 15 people after seizing a hotel on the outskirts of the capital Kabul, Afghan police have said.
The gunmen who attacked the popular hotel in the Qargha Lake recreation area, were holding several hostages, thought to include women and children, police said on Friday.
Afghan security forces freed 23 civilians and killed two Taliban fighters during an operation launched to end the strike on Friday, Kabul's Police Chief Ayoub Salangi said.
"Two terrorists have been killed and we have cleared the second floor of the hotel. We are now clearing the area of the
remaining insurgents," he said.
Among those killed were six civilians, three armed hotel guards, and one police officer, Salangi said.
However, the Taliban claim that no civilians were killed and that all 15 casualties were individuals connected to the government.
"The Taliban claim that they have killed 15 people but they say that they are only people who are connected to the government," said Al Jazeera's Jennifer Glasse, reporting from Kabul on Friday.
"The Taliban claim that they have separated out any innocent civilans and put them in a safe room," she said.
Afghan security forces launched their operation at around 5:30am (0100GMT), police said, though fighting was still going on several hours later.
"It is an ongoing situation. We do continue to hear explosions and small arms fire from the direction of the hotel and it is quite a confused situation," our correspondent said.
"We do know that there are Afghans still inside the building. But no one is exactly sure how many or who they are.
"Police inside the hotel believe there are six attackers, and they say one has been killed. But the interior ministry spokesperson claims there were four attackers and that three of them have been killed," Glasse said.
'Wild parties'
The Taliban assault began around 11:30pm (1900 GMT) on Thursday, and at least one of the attackers detonated an explosive suicide vest, said General Mohammad Zahir, head of the Kabul police investigation unit.
"Insurgents armed with RPG rockets, and heavy and light weapons, are inside the Spozhmai Hotel and fighting with security forces," he said earlier on Friday.
The Taliban gunmen, some armed with rocket propelled grenades and heavy machine guns, attacked the hotel during the night, triggering a gunbattle in the darkness, police said.
Three of the attackers were said to have been wearing suicide vests. Explosions and fighting were reported in at least six different locations within the resort.
"The area under attack is about 45 minutes outside Kabul in a lake area where many Afghan families come to spend the weekend," Glasse said.
"This is a very bold attack coming, as it has, during the weekend.
"As with many of the [recent] attacks, it isn't what damage they can do, but what they can do to undermine the sense of security around Kabul," our correspondent said.
The Afghan Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying wealthy Afghans and foreigners used the hotel to have "wild parties" in the lead up to the Friday religious day holiday.
"Our mujahideen [holy warriors] last night attacked this hotel because high-profile people from embassies, ISAF and the Kabul administration gather here every Thursday for wild parties, drinking and prostitution," Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban, told AFP.
The hotel assault will heighten fears about security as NATO prepares to hand responsibility to Afghan forces and recall the vast majority of its 130,000 combat troops.

On this date in 1743, Thomas Jefferson, who became third president of the United States, was born in Virginia. As a young attorney and member of the Continental Congress, Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson became Governor of Virginia in 1779, when the Anglican church was disestablished as the state religion. Jefferson wrote the Statute of Religious Freedom, whose preamble indicted state religion, noting that "false religions over the greatest part of the world and through all time" have been maintained through the church-state. To "compell a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves is sinful and tyrannical." The heart of the Statute guarantees that no citizen "shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever." It was adopted in 1786 and is replicated in most other state constitutions. Jefferson spent five years in France as an ambassador, and therefore was out of the country at the time of adoption of the U.S. Constitution. He strenuously urged the addition of a Bill of Rights. Jefferson became the first Secretary of State in 1789, Vice-President in 1796, was elected president in 1800, and re-elected in 1804.
In his Notes on Virginia (1781), Jefferson wrote: "Millions of innocent men, women and children since the introduction of Christianity have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned. Yet have we not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth . . ." The Deist wrote: "The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter." (Works, 1829 ed., Vol. IV, p. 365). Jefferson, who contemptuously rejected the trinity concept and regarded Jesus as a human teacher only, made a 46-page extraction of the teachings of Jesus that he accepted, discarding the rest. In an Oct. 12, 1813 letter to a friend, Jefferson explained that he had arranged "the matter which is evidently, his, and which is as easily distinguishable as diamonds from a dunghill." Writing to James Smith on December 8, 1822, Jefferson said, "Man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind. With such persons, gullibility, which they call faith, takes the helm from the hand of reason and the mind becomes a wreck."
As President, Jefferson issued his famous letter to the Baptists of Danbury, Connecticut on Jan. 1, 1802, explaining that the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment builds "a wall of separation between church and state." He refused to issue any days of prayer or thanksgiving, believing civil powers alone were conferred on public officials. Jefferson instructed that the epitaph on his tombstone read: "'Author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom & Father of the University of Virginia,' because by these, as testimonials that I have lived I wish most to be remembered." He and John Adams died on the same significant anniversary of July 4, 1826.

Steamboat Springs Plans for a new headquarters building at Yampa River Botanic Park have been submitted to the city's Planning Department, and the proposed building already has a name.
"Park board members and the staff aren't calling it the office," said Ernie Jenkins, parks supervisor for the city of Steamboat Springs. "They're calling it the Trillium House." A trillium is the white flower on the Yampa River Botanic Park's logo.
Chris Wilson, director of Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services for the city, has filed an application for a development permit. Tentative plans call for a 1,440-square-foot building that would be built on a parcel of land donated by Bob and Audrey Enever. The Enevers also donated the original land for the botanic park. The parcel in question is at the southern end of the park and northern edge of the Fish Creek Mobile Home Park, which also is owned by the Enevers.
Jenkins said the new building will occupy a lot that was occupied by an older mobile home that was removed in the past. It occupied a corner where the botanic park and trailer park come together.
The Enevers are providing formal permission for staff vehicles to access the building through the mobile home park, according to documents on file at the Planning Department.
Preliminary elevation drawings prepared by Ed Becker of Mountain Architecture Design Group show a timbered building with a gabled entrance and rock work around the base. It would be fronted on the north by a large stamped concrete patio that would address the botanic park along one of its existing internal trails.
The building would offer a small meeting room, information center, conference table and an office with two workstations. It would have permanent restrooms. A second-story loft would include room for living room furniture and storage.

Meeks Condemns Saudi Terrorism
In the ruins of the Al Hamra housing complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, terrorism claimed at least 34 more innocent victims, including 7 Americans. More than 200 others were wounded, many seriously. The number of fatalities is certain to increase as rescue crews search the rubble.
I condemn this bloodletting and any ideological proposition, which may be used to justify it. The terrorists acted in the name of hate, not faith.
During the debate last fall on the resolution giving President Bush authority to use military action against Saddam Hussein and in the subsequent months leading up to the war against Iraq, I repeatedly expressed concern that a war for regime change in Iraq would distract and divert us from the war against terrorism. On more than one occasion I stressed that terrorism, not Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction, constituted an imminent threat to US national security. After expending extraordinary military resources and spending tens of billions of dollars to oust Saddam Hussein's regime, the still unaccounted for Osama bin Laden and the still-intact and regenerated Al Qaeda network still poses the most imminent threat to Americans and American interests.
The Riyadh bombing demonstrates that an occupied Iraq has not produced Middle Eastern stability. Indeed, the attack underscores the need for the entire international community to focus laser-like on intensifying cooperation in a global campaign to root out terrorism. The administration needs to undertake urgent steps to reconstitute and broaden the global coalition against terrorism that its unilateralism in Iraq undermined. The United Nations could be especially relevant to accomplishing this task.

Campus Conversations
the start of senior year
September 19, 2012
Blogger: Aja Sanneh
hey all-
im back from study abroad in spain, and although i miss tapas, a thrilling nightlife, and buildings older than the united states constitution, i love being back home.
this summer i traveled a bit, did an internship at a production company for reality television, went to a friends wedding, and began studying for the lsat. the past 7 months have been an amazing blur, but now its time to knuckle down and make the most of my last year at school.
it wasnt until i was thousands of miles east, and 9 hours ahead did i realize how much i love the york avenue art walk, eagle rock farmers market, and mysterious 100 degree summer haze. im still getting used to the amount of reading, the pace of campus life, and classes taught in a language i totally understand, but its exhilarating. until next time! (which may not be until after i take the lsat) :)

With doppelganger, Ramzan Kadyrov's Instagram account gets even weirder
- By Elizabeth F. RalphElizabeth Ralph is a researcher at Foreign Policy.
FP may have published its list of Ramzan Kadyrov's weirdest Instagrams a bit too soon. Instead of shutting down his account, as he threatened last week, the Chechen strongman appears to be doubling down on the photo-sharing site this week.
Take, for example, the Instagram aficionado's decision to introduce his followers to what appeared to be his doppelganger. According to the Moscow Times, the caption to the photo below reads, "Dear friends, I will reveal a secret to you, but please don't tell anybody. I have sent my double to work instead of me today. Let's see how he manages!"
Around the same time, Kadyrov played guide to British actress Elizabeth Hurley, who is currently in Grozny filming a thriller with French actor (and Kadyrov kindred spirit) Gérard Depardieu. Below, the trio tours Grozny; Kadryov shows Hurley how to use an iPhone?; and the boys inspect a monster truck.
"I can't dictate to Mr Depardieu and Miss Hurley whom they should meet with, but I hope they are not taking money from a person who is accused of involvement in egregious human rights violations," Tanya Lokshina of Human Rights Watch told the Telegraph. (The American actor Steven Seagal arrived in Grozny on Wednesday.)
And then Kadyrov's two worlds collided, as the Chechen leader introduced both Hurley and Kadyrov #2 to his kitten (this is, by the way, a different creature than his cat named Chanel.)
In a vaguely worded Instagram message, Kadyrov later suggested that the photos of his double had been a "joke" he played on detractors who spread "rumors" about him, though he didn't go into detail about how he had pulled it off — or why posting photos with a lookalike or a Photoshopped version of himself would silence his critics.
Oh, and did we mention this one?

Carbon Monoxide Detector
The Vivint carbon monoxide alarm is built on an electrochemical detector with a five-year sensor life. With these features, it can detect increased levels of carbon monoxide early. And unlike other detectors, it's backed by our touchscreen panel and central monitoring station, giving you 24x7x365 assistance and support.
Why do I need a Carbon Monoxide Detector?
Carbon monoxide is referred to as the "silent killer" because it is tasteless, odorless, colorless, and very dangerous at high levels. A smoke detector is not interchangeable for a CO detector and vice-versa. For more information about CO detectors, make sure to check out this article from The Neighborhood.
How will I know when I need to change the batteries?
Vivint CO detectors will not beep when the batteries are low and need to be changed. Low battery alerts will announce themselves automatically on your touchscreen panel.
How do I change the batteries?
We've created a detailed tutorial explaining how to change the batteries in your Vivint carbon monoxide detector. To view this tutorial, click here.

The Ku Klux Klan in Chester County, PA.

The Brotherhood of Klans - Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Incorporated is a Patriotic, Christian, Benevolent, Ritualistic, Social, Fraternity which strives for the maintenance of white supremacy. Contrary to what you may have heard, we are not bigots or some "evil lynch mob"! The Ku Klux Klan is about the love and fight for our own race, our Country and the ideals and institutions it was founded on. There is no doubt the Klan here is growing, it is growing because we base our foundation on culture. And Illegal immigrants from Mexico is a severe threat to our great American Culture, and the God-given Supremacy of the White Race. Another reason for increase in membership is that the Klan is a white CHRISTIAN fraternity. Atheist, Muslims, Jews, etc. and other religions are on the increase which is another threat to our great Culture. America was founded not by religionist, but as Christians. But even some churches have broken away from the true Church beliefs and culture such as their support for Homosexuality, and Inter-racial Marriages (which are both abominations before the Lord God). We Are For 100% Americanism. For those that do hear the call of our Nation and join our beloved Order have the confidence that their membership will remain SECRET! For we are the Invisible Empire.

Yeah, but like all smelly men who have failed in life as bad as he has, he is missing lots of teeth and has horrible body odor. Also, he shouldn't lust after his own daughters, that's pretty sick. The only thing he remembers about his daddy is looking straight at poppa's belt buckle and then everything going black and numb, then waking up with his mouth sore and crusty.

You people are sick, and there is nothing Christian about your organization of white surpremacy, nor do you stand on anything Biblical. Gods chosen people were not white people, they were jewish people, Jesus Christ Himself died for the whole world, not just white people (john3:16)and He was jewish. And atheist, muslims, jews, black panthers, and the KKK are all a threat to true Christianity. The KKK belief IS NOT WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES, read John 8:44

My response to this quote is that America does not belong to the white man. It belongs to the American Indian, terrioist existed before the Muslims. The white man tried to exterminate the American Indians, this is terroism personified. The first man was a black man,civilization originated in Africa. Adam was a black man and the garden of Eden was in Africa. The white man came from the black man. There is only one race, the human race. You call yourself a christian; Jesus said how can you love God whom you never seen and hate your brother who you see every day. You are a liar and the truth is not in you. You don't have to love me, but you are not superior to me.
#17 Dec 1, 2011
America is divided according to the races. how can we go to other coutries and try to correct their problem when racism is alive and well. We have a black president and the membership has grown within the KKK, I wonder why. It is time to tear down the walls of racism. you do not have to come to my house for dinner, but I am your equal. If I am not your equal why are you always on the defense to prove you are superior? I will not validate your remarks; I refuse to condescend.
#18 Dec 4, 2011
I am white, these losers are white trash.
They talk about white pride, but the reality is that successful white people laugh at them.
They are on the lowest rung of society, lower than the minorities and immigrants they hate.
I would hate minorities too if I saw them accomplish more in one generation than my family has in seven.
Thankfully, I am not white trash like these losers are.
#19 May 14, 2012
Um...no. God gave those leprosy who married people of different religions, those who did not believe in the one true God. If you forget, or did not know, Jesus was Aramaic: brown. His skin was brown. And several Biblical characters married dark-skinned women as well. Why? Because it didn't matter, as long as they believed in God. You're foolish.
#20 Oct 2, 2012
let's see where do i start... okay i'll try to do it chronologically:
Dragon is one of many terms used to refer to satan.
it is related to the word draconian - which is an evil overlord oppressing and mistreating people.
America was formed by all races living here joining together to fight the Brits;
this included whites, natives, blacks, turks, and may have included others as well that list is just the ones i'm fully aware of because of their quantity.
There were also natives and whites who instead joined the Brits.
to be American Patriotic is to be inclusive of any/all race who live here and are also American Patriotic. You really should avail yourself of the History Channel sometime, i know you have a satellite dish.
it's utterly false to call yourself Christian, utterly false. telling falsehood = telling lies,
guess who's the greatest of all at lies? satan again. okay by this time i'm already convinced you are a satanic cult. one of satan's lies is infact to try to deceive people that he is infact Christ. he is not. you sure you still wanna be in this camp? Judgement day might be happening any day now. your choice, and your soul that's at stake. maybe you should actually READ that Bible you make claims to.
#21 Oct 2, 2012
There is nothing genetically superior in any race, there are only various differences; the sameness overwhelmingly overshadows the few minor differences. Genetically that is.
as for culture, whites have proven worldwide to have a better culture and have a lot to be thankful to their white ancestors for. it is based on Christian rules, concerned with fairness, justice, charity, etc. Those of all races who have embraced it have succeeded both in earthly goals and in spiritual goals. There is a documentary by Mexicans on the History Channel that points out many many key points of this, it gives white culture high praise, most of this goes back to early whites of America <-- the world owes them a lot of praise, they are all deceased now, whites today are simply their offspring, iow there are no "reparations" owed whites of today for what their forefathers accomplished. all of us today should embrace the good culture, the examples of it are right here before us.
black culture in the last 3 decades has proven to be satanic; emphasis on "me" and "immediate hedonistic satisfaction", emphasis on money, public fame, promiscuity. They have a lot to be ashamed of but they remain defiant and unrepentant. They will have to face God for this, i continue to work to educate and warn them.
Blacks who embrace the white cultural norms of fairness, humbleness, etc., continue to be mistreated by the larger majority of blacks and are routinely called "uncle Toms", "snitches", and other harsher terms. These good blacks have a difficult struggle because they are such a sadly small percentage. But in the end they will be in good shape with God, probably better off than some of us who grew up in a culture that praises good behavior and shuns bad behavior. I've never been called an "uncle Tom" by any of my white family or friends. I have though once in a while been called a "boy scout" or a "hall monitor", and i am a certified "nerd", but those are more in jest and not so severe.
there is nothing wrong with that, and it's only black racists and white apologists who slam whites for doing this, and those 2 groups never slam any race other than whites for doing this -- they'll praise all nonwhite races for doing this but slam whites for doing so. They, like the kkk, are grotesque racists.
You know what the difference is between a white apologist and a kkk member? nothing, they are like 2 sprockets that fit perfectly together with simply opposite parts sticking out or going inward; and if you two don't repent you'll suffer God's wrath one day. saying white apologists are right or saying kkk are right is like saying male homosexuals are right but lesbians are wrong, or vice-versa. Read the Bible, God has said who is right and who is wrong, and there are more than one camp to be wrong in but only one camp to be right in.
#22 Oct 2, 2012
the klan probably is growing right now, mostly stirred on by the corrupt within the govt which have worked to divide us all - "divide and conquer" - for further oppression here at home. Giving in to this is your own weakness, all i can do is point this out to you. The klan is however also probably growing because of the corrupt within the legal system allowing so many heinous criminals free to roam our streets and maim, rape, and murder. whites who were mainstream have seen the evil of the current black culture and the refusal of the corrupt within our legal system and govt to fix the violent crime problem; but they are failing when they simply join "that other evil sprocket with teeth and inlets in opposing spots to the first evil sprocket". oh well, all i can do is type here and try to enlighten, every individual person will still have to face God.
you really just don't study much do you? America was not founded to be an atheist nation but it was founded to be a nation where persons can choose their own religion as long as they behave according to our laws - and those laws were infact based on laws from God and Jesus as are shown in the Old and New Testaments. Our laws and culture were founded on Christian principles which allow for freedom of all people who don't try to murder or oppress anyone else - within their subculture or from other subcultures. The persons who created America however were not all Christian and those who were Christian did not all agree on every single item. They all discussed what rules they would all agree to -- and then they each signed it. Go study who signed it and their personal beliefs, and for sht's sake would you quit LYING, oh i forgot - you're a satanist that's what you do.
pff! hardly, see above.
pff!! credibility = in the shtter. people who follow Jesus have the courage to wear it on their sleeve, not hide. I just saw a cartoon drawn by Voltaire last night, it said "to learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.". If you are afraid to openly criticize others and have to do so in secret - then they are who you give lordship to over yourselves and NOT Jesus Christ. I don't criticize Jesus Christ - He is my ruler; i damn sure will openly criticize anything and anyone else i see fit to do so. who are you fraid of? and why are you afraid? death only brings you to the afterlife, if you're ready for God's judgement - what's the problem?
You really really need to study THE BIBLE, then you will see where you need to repent.
all i can do is give you the warning.

PART 4:(final part)
Let me add one very important additional point:
- it is the kkk's doing that Americans lost their freedom to carry a concealed weapon for many many decades and only just began to change in 1994. it is YOUR fault for us losing this freedom, here's what happened:
- America had no rules regarding concealed carry from 1776 until around the 1930's.
- blacks were legally and successfully using guns to defend against attacks by kkk
- the kkk were pissed blacks were shooting back, so they infiltrated political positions and passed law after law stopping ALL citizens from being able to carry concealed -- the only persons allowed a permit (which had never existed prior) were connected politically to the kkk, etc.
- finally in the late 1980s and early 1990s the rest of Americans were fed up with black gangs illegally having guns and shooting up neighborhoods, and the pendulum of freedom began to swing in favor of good law-abiding people.
law-abiding blacks all along SHOULD have been furious the right to carry concealed was ever taken away, and the reason it was taken away. why weren't they? i blame their culture and the racism within it. people like al sharpton thinks blacks should not have guns for self-defense. black culture bought this lie (there's that word again! lie=satanism) hook line and sinker. It was once again white culture to the rescue, not whites, but white-created culture of FREEDOM, freedom to legally self-defend.
Know the difference between genetics, culture, and true actual racism; for racism surely exists very sickeningly in America, and many are deceived by satan as to who is actually doing it and who is actually fighting against it.

Belinda Calaguas tells EU: 'Bite the bullet' on biofuels
The European Commission should pursue a zero biofuels policy rather than just reduce the cap on biofuels use for transport, said Belinda Calaguas, head of campaigns and advocacy at ActionAid International.
Calaguas spoke with Devex Editor Rolf Rosenkranz on the sidelines of the 2012 European Development Days, a day before the commission formally came out with its proposal to bring down the rate for biofuels use for vehicles from 10 percent to 5 percent.
The ActionAid official said that since the commission came out with the original target in 2009, there has been a massive investment in the production of biodiesel and bioethanol, which has prompted widespread land grabbing and subsequently forced people from their farms and threatened food security in affected areas. So while the cap reduction is "a good step," Calaguas said it doesn't solve the problems food-for-fuel production has created.
Watch the conversation between Rosenkranz and Calaguas on how the private sector can help the cause and alternatives to traditional biofuel production, part of a series of conversations we video-taped with global development leaders in the center of the action at EDD12 in Brussels.

Do i need a op amp or something to get this into the correct range?
Ouch - suddenly a short rod of konstantan or similar makes sense
stainless steel welding rods and make a shunt yourself - will be hard to calibrate without a reference though.
If it's just for getting some initial measurements, consider if you can borrow a suitable Hall based (to measure DC) clamp meter somewhere.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) did not have the easiest of days Monday; reports that a 23-year-old woman in China's western Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region was electrocuted by her iPhone launched a new public relations nightmare for the company. And, after rising as high as $431.46 per share, the iPhone maker's stock began trading lower and closed up just $0.93, or 0.22 percent, at $427.44. Here's a cheat sheet to today's top Apple stories:
Look Out Apple, Microsoft Is Developing a Smart Watch Too
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is rumored to be testing a prototype of a new smart watch. AmongTech is reporting that the device will offer wristbands in a variety of colors and outside housing made of a special type of aluminum that's four times harder than glass and still transparent.
Rumors about the Microsoft smart watch began when it was reported that the company was ordering 1.5-inch screens from suppliers. According to some of the rumors, the wristbands will be removable and come in blue, red, yellow, black, white, and grey. The device will run on the Windows 8 operating system and use the cloud for storage in addition to six gigabytes of storage space on the watch itself… (Read more.)

Alachua Co. Kicks Off New State Ed Program
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Alachua County is one of five test locations for a new state education initiative.
Adults wanting to earn an equivalent degree to a high school diploma in Florida may soon be able to take GED exams online in some parts of the state.
State education officials said Monday that computer-based testing provides more efficient and flexible opportunities for adults to earn their diploma. Aside from Alachua County, the test will be available initially at centers in Citrus, Escambia, Highlands and Walton counties.
While the new computer-based test has the same content currently offered on the paper test, the new system will introduce a streamlined process that allows online registration and scheduling any time of the day or night. The Department of Education plans to expand computer-based GED program across the state beginning Jan. 1, 2013.
Education officials said 32,668 GED diplomas were awarded in 2011.
