Blatter wants to keep 32-team World Cup
By Brian Homewood
ZURICH (Reuters) - FIFA president Sepp Blatter is opposed to proposals to expand the number of teams at the World Cup and would like to keep the number of participants to 32 if he is re-elected, he said on Friday.
He also suggested playing more intercontinental playoffs to resolve the discussion about how many places should be awarded to each region, and that a continent which hosts the World Cup should wait at least 12 years before staging it again.
Blatter is standing for a fifth mandate as FIFA president on May 29 and two of his three challengers, former Portugal forward Luis Figo and Dutch FA president Michael van Praag, want to expand the World Cup to 48 and 40 teams respectively.
"I will tell you that we should remain with the system we have had, and the best system is the one with 32 teams," Blatter told reporters at FIFA headquarters.
"First of all, we have realized that 32 teams is the best mathematical system, because you can play it 28 or 30 days," added Blatter, who is runaway favorite to be re-elected.
"Secondly, the contracts we have for the next World Cups, they are all done with 32 teams."
FIFA will hold an executive committee meeting on the day after the presidential election to decide how to distribute places at the World Cup.
At the 2014 World Cup, Europe had 13 places, Africa 5, South America 4.5, CONCACAF 3.5, Asia 4.5, Oceania 0.5 and Brazil qualified as hosts. Continued...

Hi All!
Got lured into this by a co-worker and I love it. I cant do regular pull-ups right now due to an injury in my left lower arm. I substituted pull-ups with Body-Rows starting from an angle of 45 degrees.
I started the simple-fit program tonight at Level 4, and completed 10 rounds in 20 minutes. It was the push-ups that got to me in the end.
Just judging from my result, is this a god level to start at for me or should I go down in levels?

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
got a call from someone claiming to be from the court and stated that they were going to come arrest me for a debt i don not regognize.
Courts do not arrest people for debt. This sounds like a collection agency tactic. The only time the courts will order you arrested in a civil proceeding is if you fail to appear in court as ordered by the court.
The response given is not intended to create, nor does it create an ongoing duty to respond to questions. The response does not form an attorney-client relationship, nor is it intended to be anything other than the educated opinion of the author. It should not be relied upon as legal advice. The response given is based upon the limited facts provided by the person asking the question. To the extent additional or different facts exist, the response might possibly change. Attorney is licensed to practice law only in the State of California. Responses are based solely on California law unless stated otherwise.Ask a similar question
Find out the courthouse and the case number, because you can usually look up that information on the court's web site and see if it is legitimate. If there is a judgment in that case and you are the defendant, you may be able to set aside the judgment and if it is not your debt, recover your damages and attorney's fees, if this is identity theft or mistaken identity.
However, if you were required to appear in court to be examined on any judgment or matter, until the court orders the judgment vacated or set aside, you still need to appear in court, so that the sheriff does not need to bring you to court by force.
Most courts do not call any party, so I am suspicious of this call. If you cannot find this case in the court's web site or you call the court's correct phone number and find that the call was from a bogus debt collector, this company has violated your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Please contact me directly through my Avvo profile, if that is what happened. I can also assist you if this is a default judgment against you.Ask a similar question
There are no debtors prisons in the United States. Whoever called you obviously wasn't from the Court, because courts don't say these things. However, as my colleagues pointed out, you may have a case against you, its best to investigate and determine the facts.
Good luck to you.

text: This paper presents an investigation of the scalability of 4H SiC MESFETs for high frequency applications by gate length reduction. SiC MESFETs with different gate lengths (0.50; 0.35 and 0.25 µm) and gate types (block- and ?-gates) were processed on the same wafer. The gate width of these devices ranged from 100 to 400 µm. The MESFET structure uses a thin highly doped p-buffer to improve the output conductance and decrease the short channel effect of the MESFET. This resulted in a 20% and 25% increase in extrinsic fT and fmax; and a 12% increase in output power density.

Feelings Returned
As Ara lay next to me, I smiled to myself. Ever though he didn't love me in return, I was happy just laying by his side. I saw him smile. I raised an eyebrow curiously. This was a proper smile, a soft smile. He looked at me, and whispered, "I need to tell you something." I looked over at him quizzically. He leaned closer, and kissed my forehead. "I love you." He said, so quietly that I could barely hear him.
My eyes opened wide, and I touched my hand to his cheek. In his pocket, something moved around. It was the Eternal Love heart I had given him. It split into two, and threaded itself onto two pieces of leather. The white half tied itself around my neck, and in silver letters, was 'Ara'. On the black half, which tied itself round Ara's neck, in silver writing, it said 'Flamara'. I smiled, and kissed Ara's cheek.

Kym Marsh hasn't given up on love and says she wouldn't rule out getting married.
The Corrie star told New! Mag things are going well with her new man, Dan Hooper.
"Dan and I have been spending a lot of time together and taking things slowly and seeing what happens," Kym says.
"I haven't given up on love and I wouldn't rule out getting married again."
The former popstar also spoke out about how she achieved her fab figure.
"I work out about five times a week – anything from 20 minutes for a quick cardio session to an hour, which incorporates weight training. I life heavy weights, so I do a lot of deadlifts and I do some cardio," she says.
"If you feel you're in shape then it does make you feel more confident. It doesn't always make you attract the right men, though. You can be in great shape but still get a wrong one!
"Looking fit obviously makes you feel more confident when you've got to get your kit off!" she adds.

Head To Southeast Texas For Road Rage
Houston is home to the nation's worst road ragers.
"...and then the most likely to see another driver cutting someone off. They're the most likely to slam on their breaks, they're up around 2/3 more than the national average," said Rob DiPietro.
DiPietro, who's AutoVantage's Vice President, says the Texas city is at the top of a new AutoVantage survey of cities with angry drivers. They're also the most likely to admit talking on their phones while driving. So, how about the city with the most courteous drivers?
"We have Portland beingthe top city, they were the top city the last time we did the survey in 2009. We have Pittsburgh, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Charlotte, who is a new addition," he said.
By the way, Atlanta, Baltimore, Washington, DC and Boston were also on the top five of cities with the most road rage.

Small Southwestern Living Area
This petite living space mixes rustic and Southwestern styles for a feel that's warm and inviting. Decorative lath wall panels clad the exterior wall where barn doors once hung. Those same doors have been repurposed to slide over the large living room window when privacy is desired.
Wood Coffee Table Detail With Tray
Mismatched items can suddenly look organized when they're corralled together on a tray.
Contemporary Neutral Southwestern Kitchen and Living Area
No drywall was used in the renovation of this kitchen and living area. Instead, the finished birch ceilings and walls create organic warmth against the metal beams and concrete floor.
Neutral Rustic Kitchen With Wood Ceiling
The neutral palette gives a peaceful mood to this charmingly rustic kitchen that features exposed brick walls, concrete floors and a birch beam ceiling. Kitchen cabinets from the 1950s were salvaged and topped with new butcher block countertops.
Pocket Door Between Kitchen and Bathroom
For a small house, a pocket door is a useful way to separate rooms without requiring the floor space of a door that swings outward.
Rustic Bathroom Vanity and Mirror
This charming home is set up in a refurbished blacksmith shop and incorporates many of the space's original details. Here, one of the window frames is repurposed as a bathroom mirror; the vanity was built from the shop's bench.
Metal and Wood Staircase
While renovating this space, once a blacksmith's shop, the designers made no additions to the original structure. To create bedrooms, they simply added a staircase and took advantage of the building's tall ceilings to turn the old hay loft into a sleeping loft.
Neutral Rustic Sleeping Loft With Wood Floor
The upper level of the petite home has been transformed into a sleeping loft. The painted wood floors were part of the structure's original architecture (this area was a hay loft). For storage, built-in shelving and a custom hinged clothing rack were added.
Rustic Neutral Bedroom With Vaulted Roof
The nightstands and ceiling pendants in this bedroom are custom pieces designed and built by Platform Workshop.
Custom Clothes Rack and Shoes
To create hanging storage for clothes in this tiny bedroom, a custom hinged rack was installed, a smart solution that lets clothing and shoes become part of the decor.

A Distraction
"Hey" was all she said. I handed my order to the chef and turned to go back down the hallway.Thatwas when she cornered me. "Are you busy after work?" My mind thought quickly and before I could stop it my mouth blurted "No-" and then I stopped. But I was too late.
"Would you like to go for a walk?" she asked. Her eyes lit up and a smile on her face.
No. NO! NO!!! I WOULD NOT. I thought.
"Sure" I said.
What is wrong with me??? I have other things to do! I can't waste time with Lacie I have to…When I began to think about it I realized that I didn't really have all that much to do. However I still didnotwant to go on an anything with anybody! Lacie practically skipped away while I sat down in the hallway waiting for the order to finish. When it was ready I walked it over to the table, made sure everything was ok and went back to the station to wait for another group.
Finally the day was done and I started to walk out the door when I remembered the walk with Lacie. Drat. I briefly thought about booking it and leaving her here, but as the idea crossed my mind Lacie came out. I let her lead the way since I didn't know where to have a nice "walk." Lacie tried to start some conversation which I happily shot down with one or two word answers when I could. She took us to a park and I gasped when I saw it. It was… beautiful. I… I had never seen anything like it before… I had seen a single tree here and there but there were somanyhere. I just looked around, rooted to the spot and when Lacie came back to guide me on I didn't even notice that she had taken my hand. We walked along admiring nature and right in the middle of it something snapped.
What was I doing? I unhooked my hand from Lacie's startling her.
"Cole? What's wrong?" Lacie asked looking worried and a little bit hurt.
"I have to be somewhere. My family and I are supposed to… I'm gonna be late!" I spluttered playing up to Lacie's concern.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" She gasped and began to run back the way we came, "Follow me!" I took off after her and together we exited the forest. "I had a great time Cole… tell your parents I'm sorry!" she called out after me as I sprinted away.
I turned a few corners and stopped convinced that I was safe.

When New Jersey online gambling goes live on November 26th they will become the third state with an online gaming industry, and the natural question is; which state or states will be the next dominoes to fall?
Below you will find details on the five states most likely to following in the footsteps of Nevada, Delaware, and New Jersey.
Massachusetts flirted with online gaming bills during the 2013 legislative session, both as standalone bills – Senate Bill 101 and Senate Bill 197—both of which went nowhere, as well as an attempt to attach online gaming to the state budget, which also failed this past year.
So, if the bills have gone nowhere why is Massachusetts at the top of my short-list for potential 2014 online gaming legislation? Because, legislators are likely waiting for the recently enacted brick & mortar casino industry to get off the ground first, before moving on to online gambling.
In 2012, Massachusetts passed a casino bill that permits up to three resort casinos and a single slots parlor to be built in the state, and as developers grab their shovels and prepare for the construction phase the next logical step would seem to be an expansion into online gambling.
Another reason Massachusetts is a good bet to be one of the next states to offer online gambling is the advocacy of the state's treasurer, Steve Grossman, who is very receptive to online gambling. Grossman is an advocate of online gambling (so long as it runs through the state lottery) and has been very vocal about bringing online gambling to Massachusetts.
When I spoke with the Poker Players Alliance's (PPA) Rich Muny on his podcast in January of 2013 he told me 2013 was unlikely to bring about a bill in Massachusetts, but Massachusetts was a legitimate contender to pass online poker legislation in 2014. So far so good on that prediction.
With neighboring New Jersey set to launch online gaming at the end of the month, Pennsylvania is another state that has seen preliminary talks started regarding online gambling.
So far the only attempt at legalizing and regulating online gambling was a bill introduced in 2013 that has since been shelved, with opposition lawmakers asserting that the focus should be on the burgeoning brick & mortar casino industry in the state first.
According to State Senator Kim Ward (R-Hempfield) Pennsylvania lawmakers are keen on watching the process play out in New Jersey, as well as in Nevada and Delaware, before moving forward with their own iGaming plans. According to Ward, there is some concern about online gaming negatively impacting the brick & mortar casino industry in the state –an industry that was just recently expanded to include table games in 2010:
"We want (gambling businesses) to survive here and to prosper, because it puts money in our coffers,"
Another problem facing online gambling proponents in Pennsylvania is the presence of Sheldon Adelson, who is perhaps online gaming's most vocal and most powerful critic. Adelson is the owner of the Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and is likely to fight online gaming expansion efforts tooth and nail in the Keystone State.
Still, rumors are already swirling about a potential 2014 iGaming bill, but it will take some doing to navigate the roadblocks outlined above.
Certain forces in California have been trying to pass online gambling bills for a number of years now, with attempts dating back as far as 2008, but the most populous state in the US has seen every attempt stalled at some point in the process.
The good news is that the current tribal and casino interests in California are pretty much split right down the middle, so it will perhaps only take a single "Nay" turning into an "Ay" for California to pass online gaming legislation – and it seems to be heading in that direction.
Online gaming in California could be accelerated if New Jersey can provide the empirical evidence needed to demonstrate that online gaming doesn't cannibalize live gambling, and that online gambling can bring in plenty of revenue.
The latest indications coming out of California from Richard Schuetz, the head of the state's Gambling Control Commission, has California leaning towards an online poker-only bill, much like their neighbor Nevada enacted in 2011.
In an interview with Marco Valerio, Scheutz stated the key problem facing a comprehensive iGaming bill as one of competition between brick & mortar gaming interests and online:
"… there's a belief among our tribal partners that the Internet as a distribution network for gambling products could in some ways cannibalize the brick-and-mortar environment."
A poker-only bill could be the compromise the two opposing forces in California need to get the ball rolling on Internet gambling.
Illinois has brought their state lottery online, and the state already allows residents to bet on the horses online, so it doesn't require too much of a leap of faith to see the potential for online poker or online gaming in Illinois down the road.
Rumors have potential online gambling bills being introduced as a stand-alone or even perhaps riding in on the coattails of the online horse-racing bill which is set to expire in 2014 and will need to be renewed.
My decision to offer up two different states for my fifth choice is just a ploy to keep me from having to make a tough decision, since I'd rank both Maryland and New York chances of passing an iGaming bill as a long-shot, but ahead of any other state. Since I couldn't come up with a reason to choose one over the other, I chose them both.
Both states have been rumored to be exploring their online gaming options and both states have the population bases to create a sustainable online poker market. However, both states seem to be following Pennsylvania's lead, and taking a "wait and see what happens in New Jersey first" approach.

I wasn't really feeling Yung Rapunxel when I first heard it. No reason in particular, it just wasn't a song I cared enough about to want to hear again. This video on the other hand, directed by Jam Sutton, is fucking superb and has already been played four times this evening!
Sometimes a good visual can go a long way to kicking you into the right head space for listening to something that might at first appear inaccessible, and this would be one of those times where I've actually come away after watching the music video with a new found appreciation for the song.

Fresh Blood
Usually it's Miami's sports teams that make changes to personnel during the off-season. But this year, Miami's arts organizations made some big moves too. Miami City Ballet, for instance, brought in hometown girl Lourdes Lopez to succeed company founder Edward Villella in the season that opened last month. And Florida Grand Opera, which opens its season this Saturday with Puccini's La Bohème, is now under the guidance of new CEO Susan T. Danis. Danis isn't the only big name to help kick off the season. La Bohème also brings noted Mexican tenor Arturo Chacón-Cruz and Mexican soprano Ailyn Pérez to the Adrienne Arsht Center's Ziff Ballet Opera House (1300 Biscayne Blvd., Miami). The opera itself, which inspired the Broadway musical Rent, is the story of young, artsy types living in Paris in the 1830s and the doomed love between its two leads.

The tradition of holding a January camp for mostly MLS players looking to break through into the U.S. naitonal team is going to be maintained during the Jurgen Klinsmann era and the German manager will be putting together his first January camp very shortly.
A 2011 MLS season that saw several new faces emerge as strong national team candidates should give Klinsmann plenty of fresh faces to look at as he tries to find reinforcements for his European-based contingent.
Just what sort of veteran presence we will see at the camp remains to be seen, though Klinsmann's mandate that national team players be training as often as possible would suggest he plans on having a player like Landon Donovan in January's camp, assuming Donovan isn't heading somewhere in loan this winter.
What we are likely to see in January is something similar to last January's camp, which was an extremely young group, though this year's projected squad could be considered much stronger than the 2011 camp squad.
So who will Klinsmann call up in January? Here is one projected roster:
GK– Bill Hamid, Sean Johnson, Zac MacMath
D– Sheanon Williams, Zach Loyd, Michael Parkhurst, Tim Ream, Omar Gonzalez, George John, Geoff Cameron, Heath Pearce, Todd Dunivant
M– Landon Donovan, Brek Shea, Freddy Adu, Graham Zusi, Robbie Rogers, Kyle Beckerman, Benny Feilhaber, Mikkel Diskerud, Jeff Larentowicz, Michael Farfan
F– Teal Bunbury, Juan Agudelo, C.J. Sapong, Chris Rolfe
There are plenty of names missing from this list that could have been included, such as Sporting KC defenders Matt Besler and Chance Myers, Real Salt Lake's Nat Borchers and San Jose's Chris Wondolowski just to name a few. This list is the group I can see Klinsmann calling in.
Not all the players are young obviously. Chris Rolfe turns 29 next month, but he's been enjoying a standout season with Aalborg, while Michael Parkhurst, who turns 28 next month, has done very well for Nordsjaelland this past season.
Also consider injuries. Chris Pontius and Brad Davis are not, as far as I know, far enough along in their recovery from injuries to be included in this group. If either or both are healthy, I'd have to think they'd merit strong consideration.
My wild card in this group is clearly Michael Farfan. He wasn't a regular starter for Philadelphia, but he showed some really good form late in the year, and with there being relatively few good wing options, I could certainly see him being a surprising inclusion much the way Eric Alexander was a surprising inclusion in the 2011 January camp.
Keep in mind that European-based and Mexican-based players won't be available since European clubs outside of Scandinavian leagues such as Denmark and Sweden are back in season, while Mexican clubs are already preparing for pre-season by the time January's camp gets underway in Arizona.
What do you think of this group? What names are you glad to see on this list? Who is missing that you would like to see get a look from Klinsmann in January?
Share your thoughts below.
I'm gonna focus on 1 player in this post-OMAR GONZALEZ, OMAR GONZALEZ, OMAR GONZALEZ! I don't understand why he isn't already in the picture. He's better than Ream, Orozco Fiscal, and our defense is in no way set. He's Defender of the year, on the championship team, and has been consistent since he came in the league. He needs to get into the set up, pronto, before he seriously starts considering playing for Mexico. Which would be a disaster
The USMNT has never developed a player; the clubs do that. The USMNT just picks them.
Think about how much time a guy like Bunbury spends with JK and then compare tht to how much time he spends with his club. No contest.
I doubt Wondo will be called in but his goal scoring knack is something you may not be able to teach other players. If you could JK would have these guys live with him. Every club would hire someone like JK to live with their strikers. There is no magic formula that JK is going to dispense at his camp.
If the players on your list are going to develop into productive strikers they will do so at their clubs.
Jozy has been a regular starter for the US for almost two years but his productivity in terms of goals only developed when he got himself a good club situation that allowed him to develop. Hopefully Jozy can carry that success over to the USMNT.
wondo played as well as anyone else on US team – and deserse another shot — where were you this summer, not watching the game…

It is now Sunday, and it is time again for my weekly rant…
Yes, I have been semi- "Missing In Action" the last while…. I have been spending more time lately taking care of personal and family business, and working at getting myself into better shape.. I have long been a proponent of the idea that a "Healthy body makes for a healthy mind"… With that, this blog has fallen a bit by the wayside, and there have been fewer articles lately… But like I have said before, I am not quitting… I have never been a quitter, and I will continue to be around for quite some time to come….
Yesterday, I spent an hour talking to my good friend and colleague, Whitewraithe, who of course writes the Pragmatic Witness blog (www.pragmaticwitnessii.wordpress.com), and I figured I would let her fans know here that she is very much alive and kicking… She has been suffering from a lot of stress and depression the last while, which has led to her having severe health issues. She has not posted an article at her blog for a while as a result…. I have again asked her not to quit, and she has informed me that she does not want to quit, but wants to take her blog in a different direction. I will always support her in her endeavors, and I do hope for the best for her….
When I look at the diabolical people behind what ails this planet right now, I have always been asking myself… How can anyone of good conscience do such horrible things to their fellow human beings? I have long been puzzled by the mentality of these monstrous criminals, due to the fact that I have long believed that human beings are wired basically for good, and then I started thinking.. Maybe I have been wrong all along and human beings are not wired for good at all…It does appear that many are actually wired for personal selfishness, greed, and immorality….. Is this the true nature of the human psyche?
When I look upon the Jewish problem, and see that the majority are involved directly or indirectly in the crimes against the rest of humanity, I am indeed troubled…. How can anyone go through an entire lifetime with such hatred for their fellow man? How is it that these people can somehow consider themselves as superior to others? To me, we are all human beings, flesh and blood, and with our physical and mental weaknesses. I have long said that the key to humanity is for each to work towards the benefit of everyone, and not towards the selfishness of the few…This is why I do look at Judaism, which teaches selfishness, greed, and immorality as a whole, as a detriment of all mankind, and should rightfully find itself in the trashcans of history!
This last week, I saw some very interesting articles that I never covered in previous articles, but I will discuss a few here in this rant…. For example, a commentator asked me to look into the article that was out this week about several Jews in upstate New York who were working on an "X-ray gun" to take out the people who were against the criminal state of Israel. When I read the article, I thought about how these guys could even possibly build such a device and from what I do know about X-ray machines, and how they operate…I laughed… The energy requirements for such a gun, and the makeup of such a device, would make it as deadly to the operator as to its intended victim. The bottom line is that if such a device were built, it would irradiate the operator as badly as its intended target. Maybe sometime in the future such a device could be built, but at present it is still out of the present scientific realm…… This is why I do not give much credence to this article at all….
Then there was a new article released last week about a Jewish man named Joe Corry who has suddenly had memories of his "exploits" in World War II, and has been writing them in his new "memoirs"…. I read the article about this clown, and I wondered why anyone could possibly believe his shoddy lies… This guy claims he watched the British landings on D-day from houses along the beach…. That alone was an impossibility, considering the Germans rightfully moved all the tenants of these homes out months before the D-Day landings, and these homes were then occupied with German soldiers…Then there was his outlandish claims that he met and RESCUED (!) Dr. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the scientists behind the Manhattan Project, in Holland when the British pushed into that country in 1945…. That alone was a laugher considering that Dr. Oppenheimer was in the United States at the time working on the Manhattan Project, and absolutely nowhere near Holland…. Then there are other absolutely ridiculous claims that he assassinated a Nazi Scientist using a "crossbow", and even attached limpet mines to U-boats…. But the real kicker was his "seeing experimental Nazi extermination camps" during his time in Holland…. What we have here is another Jewish LIAR who is out to try to sucker money out of the "Goyim"…. But what troubles me is how in the hell the Jewish community itself can actually condone this clown's outright lies!…. But we already know that the Jews are all for suckering the Goyim with their lies… We have seen the Elie Wiesel lies already for too long…..
Now for the story of the week… The assassination of Journalist, Michael Hastings, on an interstate highway just outside of Los Angeles… And yes, lets stop kidding ourselves here… That was an assassination….. Michael Hastings was already exposing the criminality of the US Government and was going to reveal even more when Government agents took him out……I for one have never ever seen a Mercedes Benz explode the way his vehicle did, and to find engine parts a few hundred feet away from the explosion is the tell tale sign of a preplanned and prepositioned explosive charge on his vehicle… In my discussion with Whitewraithe yesterday, I said to her that I can guarantee Hastings was already dead, but they needed to create the "accident" to get rid of the body….. Remote controlled vehicles are easily done, and having it hit a tree at 100MPH and then explode conveniently gets rid of the body….This should be a warning to anyone who wants to turn whistle-blower to watch their steps very carefully….
Of course we have the continuing exposure of the United States NSA operation of surveillance of every American citizen…. I have already said in previous rants that they have been doing it now for decades, and that every computer program in existence today has a built in back door that allows agents to view what we are watching, listening to, and even posting in articles such as this. I was indeed startled this last week when several Government officials said that they saw no problem with people being watched if there is nothing for them to hide…. That is just sick and not the point… True freedom means that individuals can make decisions and do what they want without the watchful eye of "big brother"…. To watch peoples' every action is just another form of a tyrannical dictatorship.
Of course, this illegal surveillance is indeed going on here in Canada as well…. The criminal Harper government can deny it all they want, but Canadians are not that stupid (at least I hope), and are well aware that what is happening in America is reflected here in Canada as well…..I will state it again, any unwarranted surveillance of people is pure tyranny and criminality. People have to wake the hell up and put a stop to it immediately.
I am truly troubled by the American people sitting idly by and just watching as their government moves arms, and men, to the borders of Syria for their planned attack on that innocent nation. We are indeed watching Iraq 2003 all over again, and using the same lies now as then…. But the evidence is clear that the Syrian government has not or will never use chemical weapons on its own citizens. Common sense, everyone…. Assad has the love and support of his people, so why in the hell would he even think about turning such weapons on them?
We all know by now that the US and Israel that have been funding the so called "rebels" are the perpetrators of this chemical weapon scheme. The facts are clear that Assad's Government forces are wiping out these criminals and murderers in every battle across Syria, and that the "rebel resistance" is rapidly disappearing now. The only way to save these criminals is for direct US/Israeli intervention, and the criminals in the US government and the criminal state of Israel are wanting that intervention via the lie of chemical weapons…… Again, people have to wake the hell up and put a stop to it immediately…
I did put out an important article just a few days ago that should finally put the fraud of the need for seasonal "flu shots" out of its misery. I have had an uphill fight for the last few years in trying to tell people who I see lined up at Pharmacies to receive their "free flu shots" to stop what they are doing… I have suffered from ridicule and even outright threats of harm in trying to convey the message that "flu shots" absolutely do NOT work…… I only ask people to look at all of the evidence that I and others have presented to show the proof of the fraud of vaccinations…. That article from Activist Post that I posted just vindicates my actions and my efforts….. I again ask everyone to absolutely refuse to take any vaccinations, period…. You are far better off by eating properly, getting proper rest, exercise, and taking supplements…. These can boost your immune system far better than poisoning it through the fraud of vaccines…
I saw an article the other day that shows how the Rothschilds and their cronies have been manipulating the Gold Markets and have been behind the wild fluctuations in Gold pricing the last while…. I really need to ask why nobody sees the obvious here… These criminal Jews have indeed been manipulating the price of Gold for their own benefit…. Their plans have always been to fully control every ounce of Gold in the world, and once they reach that phase of their plans…Destroy the world economies…. Once those economies are ruined, they will of course offer their "solution" which will be a Gold based currency…. But of course, since they control all the Gold that this new currency will be based upon, they will attain their sick twisted goal of being masters of all humanity…Control the Gold and they will control the world!
I see that many writers in the alternative media are focusing in on the TWA flight 800 disaster of July 17th, 1996 saying that government officials are lying about the cause of the crash being an electrical fault… Here it is in a nutshell… TWA flight 800 was indeed shot down by an Aegis cruiser launched surface to air heat seeking missile….. The US government has been lying its ass off for close to 17 years now and have been unwilling to accept the fact that they are fully responsible for this shoot down. What should happen after all these years is for the US Government to finally admit their mistake, compensate the victims' families for that mistake, and suffer the consequences of losing the trust of the people. Their avoidance of telling the truth now will only make it much worse for them in the future….
I was reading an interesting article (link) by Stephen Lendman the other day about a "secret" US military base being built in Israel that turns out to be an ICBM missile base…. I am puzzled by this action by the US government in helping the Israelis develop intercontinental ballistic missiles, simply because these criminally insane Jews would indeed use these missile on American cities if they were ever in crisis according to their insane "Sampson Option"…. Does anyone else see the madness here in helping these lunatics build ICBMs that will be used on American cities???? Am I missing something here? Is the American government really this stupid or are they just showing how much the Jews are in total control?
Well, I guess that is it for the major stuff today… But in closing, I will fire off a few last minute tidbits…. I see that the criminals behind the Global Warming fraud are definitely not giving up, and in fact the Barry Soetoro regime will announce its Global Warming plans as early as this coming Tuesday. I sure hope people in America are ready for new fraud Carbon taxation!……And speaking of the fraud of global warming, this is turning out to be one of the coldest and wettest summers here in decades. It has indeed been raining heavily here, but not as bad as what just hit Calgary Alberta! All this rain and flooding are signs of definite Global Cooling which I and others have predicted for years….There have been a few reports trickling out of Japan over the last few weeks about the long term damage from the Fukushima disaster. It appears that thousands are now definitely dying from radiation exposure, but the world is not paying any attention to this horrible disaster against humanity. Again, wars for Israel come first!…Another report surfaced this last week about Jewish organ trafficking, this time in Costa Rica. These ghouls never seem to quit their lust for Gentile organs, do they?…..If anyone has any doubts that professional sports are fixed, then they need to look at the NBA finals between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs as a prime example. Jewish owners and Jewish commissioners fixing sports for money? Who would have thought?…..And finally, the part a lot have been waiting for; My weekly love of America's sweethearts, the Kardashians! I have received some complaints that I have been coming down too hard on these trollop skank whores, and that I should look at other examples of American lowlife such as Madonna. Yes, Madonna is one scary looking skeleton, and she is a warped thinking Kaballist. But her heyday of skankiness was decades ago…..Until America wakes up and turns off the mind warping of these so called "reality shows", then my shots at this sheer stupidity will continue….And for those who do not like what I have to say, you can always turn to crap sites such as Infowars for more mind numbing entertainment…..

But I'm kicking myself now that I didn't think to put a limit on the gas and electricity bills, especially since I've discovered that one of the tenants works from home, another is a student (do they EVER go to lectures?) and the third has just lost his job, so they're all hanging around the flat pretty much the whole time with the heating on high.
Also, I've learned that a couple of them have installed mini fridges in their rooms (why, I have no idea) and they've all got their own TVs and laptops. I know none of these small appliances is draining the National Grid on its own, but it all adds up, doesn't it?
I also pay for the TV licence but I recently discovered that it only covers the set in the living room. As all the tenants have individual tenancy agreements for their rooms, each of them needs a separate TV licence. If they were all on the same tenancy agreement, they would only need one for the whole flat, which is all that they have got.
As the tenancy agreements state that the rent is all-inclusive I wonder whether I'm responsible for buying them each a TV licence? As that would cost me an extra £727 a year, I decide not. After all, I only provided one TV so I reckon I should only be responsible for one licence.
I'll write to the tenants warning them to make sure they each have a licence for their individual sets, or else they'll have to drag their TVs into the living room if they get a suspicious knock at the front door. The phone bill has also been creeping up over the past few months. A while ago I signed up to TalkTalk's global evening and weekend package and for about £20 a month the tenants get wi-fi and free evening and weekend phone calls to landlines pretty much worldwide.
The service has proved useful in attracting new tenants, who all seem to expect internet access. I used to worry that viewers would be put off by the lack of a dishwasher or microwave, but tenants seem happy to overlook these omissions as long as the flat has broadband. One of the first questions they ask, almost without fail, is: "Have you got wi-fi?"
The free phone service has also been a good selling point, especially as many of my tenants have come from Australia, South Africa and eastern Europe. It's great for them to be able to call home for free. However, my latest tenants often make calls to mobiles and international calls of longer than an hour, which aren't free, so I get billed.
Trouble is, the calls only cost a small amount each so, although it's all adding up and eating into my tiny profit, it would be just too petty of me to go round and ask each of the tenants to cough up their share. No, first I'll stick a piggy bank next to the phone with a list of charges for non-inclusive calls to see whether they take the hint.

"When a writer conceives an idea he conceives it in a form of words. That form of words constitutes his style, and it is absolutely governed by the idea. The idea can only exist in words, and it can only exist in one form of words. You cannot say exactly the same thing in two different ways. Slightly alter the expression, and you slightly alter the idea." -Arnold Bennett
Example: The DOE wrote, "Our last progress report (March 1985) discussed the damage to ten solar mirrors during a February thunderstorm..."
Example: The DOE continued with, "Now, after finding high winds had caused the cracks, we have been showing all solar mirrors in a horizontal, as opposed to vertical, position during storms."

Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should have no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make every sentence short, or that he avoid detail and treat his subject only in outline, but that every word tell.

Goals for illustrations
-Should best reflect the accuracy of the language
-Should not convey any unintended information
-Readers should have continuity
-Audience should gain sense of its size and orientation
Fig 11.3 does not focus attention on the lab experiment. Instead, extraneous details like messy lab, the researcher standing, clip board behind him stand out.
-Important way to do this is to match the information in the text with what's in the illustration.
-Closely follow their text references.
-Should be placed just below the paragraph that introduces them.
-Large enough to clarify details. Should include reasonable white space border to emphasize details.
The testing hardware of the missile shown in fig 11.6 has five main components: camera, digitizer, computer, I/O interface, and mechanical interface. Commands are generated by the computer and then passed through the I/O interface where the keyboard of the ICU is operated. The display of the ICU is read with a television camera and then digitized. This information is then manipulated by the computer to direct the next command to the I/O interface.
Weaknesses in the above illustration:
Revised language and illustration
Our system for testing the safety devices of the missile consists of four main parts: Computer, camera, digitizer and electromechanical interface to the missile. In this system, shown in fig11.7, the computer generates test commands to the missile through the electromechanical interface. The test results are read with a television camera and then digitized. The computer receives the information from the digitizer and then directs the next test command.

The disastrous charge of the light brigade at Balaclava was made because of a carelessly worded order to 'charge for the guns'-meaning that some British guns which were in an exposed position should be hauled out of reach of the enemy, not that the Russian Batteries should be charged. But even in the calmest of times,it is often difficult to compose an English sentence that cannot be possibly misunderstood.

Printing should be invisible. Type well-used is invisible as type. The mental eye focuses through type and not upon it , so that any type has an access in design, anything that gets in the way of the mental picture to be conveyed, is bad type.Beatrice Warde
1-Choosing a type face to selecting the amount of white space that precedes a heading
2-Choosing a format easy to read that is in character with the document you have written
3-Choosing a format that presents your work in such a way that most important details stand out
Typography is that part of format that deals with the choice and the size of typestyles. A typestyle (font) is a shaped set of alphabetic letters.
1-Do not use to many typestyles in a document.
2-Rely on serif fonts for the text of the documents
3-Be conservative with the options such as boldface and italics.
4-Use a size that is appropriate for the occasion.
5- Avoid typography that adds needless complexity.
1- Consider subject matter and audience in layout decisions.
2- Be generous with white space.
3- Choose a hierarchy for the headings and subheadings
