|[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-2193) Re-architect Update Handler

Thank you for spelling it out. However I think the patch is creating new abstract classes, that would then go away?

In the last 90 days, 0 listings have been listed, which means spaces are probably going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. About NaN% of the listings in the Downtown Frostproof are subleases, so you will probably have to consider a longer term lease. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around sqft. Most buildings in this market are approximately 2 floors. Most buildings in this area were built in 1920.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Real estate is the dominant industry in this area. Commute by car is the most popular way to get to work amongst Downtown Frostproof folk. Commuting around 30 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.
Trends and status of the commercial real estate market in Downtown Frostproof.

The first step, probably the most difficult in a practical sense, will be to carve a life-size figure of a woman out of wood. I don't know where I'll get the wood or how I'll carve it, but I figure I'll work these things out when the time comes.
When the carving is complete, I'll write on the wood with a fine-pointer marker, describing everything I know about the woman. I'll have to write very small or else I'll run out of room, given how much I know.
The next part is unclear. The question is whether I'll use an ax. This is a problem with made-up rituals: you have to make up everything. Today I lean toward the ax because of how it would engage me in the act of destroying her. This seems important. If I burn her, I remain at a distance from her, less her destroyer than a witness to her destruction.
I should say who she is. She's not a real person. In a sense this is her crime. Her crime is that she cannot exist anywhere but in my mind. Her crime is that she surpasses what is possible, lacking nothing save for the possibility of existing. Her crime is that I love her and have always loved her, and will continue to love her, even after I destroy her – assuming that a smoking pile of chopped-up wood equals her destruction, which I have good reason to doubt.


text: The seven-story Empire Building at 360 North Robert Street was completed in 1891. Designed by St. Paul architect Clarence H. Johnston, the Jacobsville Sandstone, red brick office and banking building was formerly known as the Manhattan Building and the Capital National Bank Building. At the turn of the century, the famous stenographer, Miss Ruth M. Hillman occupied her stenographers office in Room 506. Hillman was very popular due to her sunny temperament, promptness and accuracy. Architect Clarence H. Johnston went on to design such notable destination as Williams Arena, Northrop Auditorium and the Minnesota State Prison at Stillwater. A 30-foot-high street-level façade was added in 1960, but, the lobby has been restored and most of the buildings offices have their original doors with glazed glass windows and above narrow mail slots below. The Empire building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Global Network Initiative publishes statements and resources on a regular basis to highlight trends and issues of concern for all stakeholders in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector. As a multi-stakeholder initiative, GNI draws on the collective expertise of our members and on our cumulative experience in the global implementation of the GNI Principles.
The Global Network Initiative (GNI) is deeply troubled by the risks to freedom of expression and access to information in the ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union allowing individuals to compel search engines to remove links to unwanted information—even if that information is accurate, lawful, and publicly available elsewhere.
GNI Board Chair Mark Stephens said: "With this ruling, society runs the risk of creating a two-tiered Internet, with searches in Europe returning dramatically different and less complete sets of results than will be available in the rest of the world."
He added, "The social utility in academics, journalists, historians and average citizens being able to know the unvarnished truth outweighs that of an individual's right to cover up unwanted facts. Protecting privacy is important, but the solution is not to oblige companies to return bespoke search results that open the door to increased censorship."
The ruling misguidedly places the burden on companies, not courts, to make the ambiguous distinction between the right to privacy and the right to seek and impart information. And companies that decide the scales tip in favor of free expression may still find themselves facing legal action from data protection offices and subject to court orders to alter or remove access to otherwise publicly accessible information.
Europe's admirable dedication to privacy and data protection has helped to shape global norms. However, it is equally important not to risk inspiring further efforts around the world to remove public facts from public access. We urge an informed debate on striking the right balance between the equally important goals of protecting freedom of expression and protecting privacy.
The Global Network Initiative urges Russian President Vladimir Putin to veto legislation that would restrict free expression and privacy rights online.
The "Information, Information Technologies and Protection of Information" amendment adopted by the Duma Tuesday, will go into effect in August if approved by President Putin. The legislation imposes stringent requirements on bloggers, requiring them to register with the authorities and face similar regulations to mass media. The amendment also reportedly requires Internet companies to locate customer data in Russia, where it can be accessed by state security and intelligence services.
GNI Board Chair Mark Stephens said, "This is a steep decline on an already slippery slope. If one state controls and censors dissent in this way, then others will sure follow all too quickly. The Internet is founded on freedom of thought and data: not locking it away in a gilded cage with only the Securitate having the keys."
GNI previously warned against Russian legislation passed in 2012 said to be intended to block access to content harmful to children or extremist, a law that has been perverted for use during the past year to block political speech. Google reported a 125% increase in content removal requests from Russia in their most recent transparency report. Extensive blocking of independent news websites was reported in March 2014.
Alternative means of addressing legitimate law enforcement and national security concerns should be used that would also protect privacy and free expression. Rather than imposing onerous data retention and local storage requirements, governments should work together to improve the frameworks governing lawful requests for data across jurisdictions, such as Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs).
The Global Network Initiative urges Turkey to restore full access to Twitter and YouTube, and ensure access to communications and the free flow of information, particularly in advance of local elections on March 30.
GNI Executive Director Susan Morgan said, "By dramatically ramping up censorship of social media, the Turkish government—already the world's top press jailer according to the Committee to Protect Journalists—appears determined to repress free expression rights online as well as offline."
GNI is also concerned about reports indicating Turkey is attempting to block downloads of anonymity software Tor, which has enabled thousands of people in Turkey to circumvent the ban.
GNI urges the Turkish government to implement yesterday's court ruling that overturned the Twitter ban, fully restore access to all services and ensure a free and open Internet. As the host the 2014 Internet Governance Forum, Turkey should not be flagrantly obstructing the ability of its citizens to exercise their fundamental rights.
GNI is deeply concerned by Prime Minister Erdogon's threats to block Facebook and YouTube in Turkey, as well as reports that the Russian government is blocking webpages of Ukrainian dissidents and interfering with mobile networks in Crimea.
The right to freedom of expression should not be restricted by governments, except in narrowly defined circumstances based on internationally recognized laws or standards. Broadly restricting citizens from sharing and receiving information—especially in times of conflict and for political purposes—is a clear violation of human rights and democratic principles.
Update: Turkey's parliament passed the legislation on Wednesday February 5, 2014. GNI urges Turkish President Abdullah Gül to veto the bill.
The Global Network Initiative is greatly concerned by legislation under consideration in Turkey that if passed, would loosen already troubling standards for blocking of online content and require Internet service providers (ISPs) to retain information about users' online activity
The legislation would amend Turkey's Law 5651 on the Regulation of Broadcasts via Internet and Prevention of Crimes Committed through Such Broadcasts. In December 2012, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the existing law violates the right to freedom of expression under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The amendments, however, would worsen the law's impact on rights to free expression and privacy by weakening judicial oversight and due process for decisions on content removal and opening the door to even greater censorship online. The amendments also dramatically increase the obligations on ISPs to retain information about their customers' online activities, and force ISPs to join a state controlled association.
On January 14 the Turkish Parliament's planning and budget committee approved the proposed amendments, which are due to be considered by the full Parliament before the end of the month. Turkish police used tear gas and water cannons against protests over the law held in Istanbul and Ankara last week.
GNI urges the Turkish parliament to review the proposed amendments and remove those that are inconsistent with international legal standards regarding free expression and privacy rights.
GNI is a multi-stakeholder group of companies, civil society organizations (including human rights and press freedom groups), investors and academics, who have created a collaborative approach to protect and advance freedom of expression and privacy in the ICT sector. GNI provides resources for ICT companies to help them address difficult issues related to freedom of expression and privacy that they may face anywhere in the world. GNI has created a framework of principles and a confidential, collaborative approach to working through challenges of corporate responsibility in the ICT sector.
On July 30, 2013, GNI wrote to Pakistani human rights organization Bytes For All, formally responding to the open letter they sent to GNI on July 17, 2013. The text of GNI's response is below:
Dear Shahzad,
Subject: open letter in response to your letter of July 17 2013
Thank you for your letter dated July 17 2013 regarding claims you referenced which were made by a representative of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority in the Lahore High Court on July 4 2013. I have shared the letter with GNI's Board as requested and I'm glad that we had the opportunity to talk about the issue directly last week.
I have also been in touch with representatives from Facebook including Richard Allan who received a copy of your letter to me. My understanding is that you will receive a response from Facebook on the specific questions you raise in your letter.
The communications that I have had with Facebook make clear that there are two specific instances when they will act to remove or block access to content. The first is when content violates their Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. The second is when they are notified that content is unlawful in a particular jurisdiction. When Facebook receives a notice from a law enforcement authority notifying it that certain content is illegal, Facebook will review the order and confirm that the body requesting the removal is authorised to do so and that the content is indeed a violation of law in that jurisdiction. Only after that review has taken place will content be restricted in that particular jurisdiction. It remains visible to people outside of that jurisdiction. This is a common approach that Facebook takes in all countries.
It is important to acknowledge that there are many countries around the world where companies face challenges when required to comply with laws and regulations that many see as imposing restrictions on free expression. When a government in such a country requests that content is removed on the grounds that it violates local law, one approach a company may take to maximize expression in the face of these laws is to block content only in the specific jurisdiction where that content is illegal. GNI has created a framework for company decision-making based on international human rights standards which looks to protect the free expression and privacy rights of users. This framework is publicly available on our website at www.globalnetworkinitiative.org.
I wanted to specifically address the request at the end of your letter to review the way in which Facebook approaches requests from the Government of Pakistan to see if they are consistent with GNI's principles and guidelines. When companies join GNI they make a commitment to implement our principles and guidelines within their organisation. When companies have been members for two years they then undergo their first independent assessment to look at whether the company is putting in place the policies, systems and processes in place to implement the principles. The next assessment considers what is actually happening in practice through a case review process and a determination of compliance.
When we become aware of an issue regarding a GNI company member, then we engage in a dialogue with the company in question to review the issue, which is what we have done in this case. We may also conduct internal discussions and learning sessions with our members to better understand the issue and where necessary, propose options to address it.
We do not conduct ad hoc reviews of company compliance with our principles. However, we have recognised that an important aspect of GNI's work in the future is going to be to provide some kind of mechanism for stakeholders who want to raise concerns with GNI about the actions of our members, or to more broadly engage with our work. Last year we worked with Shift, a US non profit organisation, to help us think through how we could put such a mechanism in place. We expect to talk publicly about our next steps on this work when we publish our next assessment report on our three founding companies.
Thank you again for contacting me and please let me know if there is anything in particular in this letter that you would like to discuss in more detail.
With best wishes
Susan Morgan Executive Director GNI

The Global Network Initiative commends recent actions by the U.S. and Canadian governments to ensure that sanctions do not prevent Iranian citizens from using information and communication technologies to communicate securely.
On May 30, the U.S. Treasury Department issued a new General License authorizing exports to Iran of certain services, software, and hardware incident to personal communications. The License builds on previous regulations and for the first time makes legal exports to Iran of hardware including mobile phones and computers, as well as critical software and services, such as anti-virus software, VPNs, anti-censorship tools, and access to online app stores. The General License was announced the day after Canada exempted some "consumer communication technologies that contribute to Internet freedom" from a new round of sanctions on Iran.
"This is an important development that will help Iranians get access to vital communications and security technologies," said Jillian York, director of international freedom of expression at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a GNI participant. "EFF hopes to see a similar license extended to cover other sanctioned countries, such as Syria, Sudan, and Cuba."
GNI is encouraged by these steps, which make clear that sanctions should not infringe upon universal rights to freedom of expression and privacy.
GNI Policy and Communications Director David Sullivan joins a workshop at the Internet Governance Forum in Baku, Azerbaijan.
On February 14th, 2011 we announced the publication of a GNI-commissioned report, written by BSR, titled "Protecting Human Rights in the Digital Age". The report describes the evolving freedom of expression and privacy risks faced by information and communications technology (ICT) companies and how these risks can be more effectively mitigated by the industry. It focuses on the issues for telecommunications services; cell phones and mobile devices; internet services; enterprise software, data storage and IT services, semiconductors and chips, network equipment, consumer electronics and security software.
Read the full report here (pdf).
On June 14th, 2012, GNI released the report "Digital Freedoms in International Law: Practical Steps to Protect Human Rights Online" by Dr. Ian Brown and Professor Douwe Korff. The report examines the challenges facing governments and technology companies as they balance rights to expression and privacy with law enforcement and national security responsibilities. The report draws from extensive research conducted by co-authors Dr. Brown and Professor Korff, including multi-stakeholder consultations held in London, Washington, and New Delhi.

Emma Llansó and Susan Morgan co-authored this post, which originally apparead on the CDT blog.
Amid the contentious global debates about privacy and surveillance since the Snowden revelations, few proposed reforms have attracted more consensus than calls for greater transparency. Although the devil remains in the details, the need to increase transparency around the requests that governments make of companies to hand over personal data or restrict content online is one of the rare points on which governments, companies, and civil society at least somewhat agree. Transparency is a necessary first step in supporting an informed public debate on whether domestic laws adequately protect individuals' rights to privacy and freedom of expression.
This call for transparency has been echoed at the highest levels. The UN High Commissioner on Human Rights, Navi Pillay, called attention to "the disturbing lack of governmental transparency associated with surveillance policies, laws and practices, which hinders any effort to assess their coherence with international human rights law and to ensure accountability," in her seminal report on the Right to Privacy in the Digital Age.
Companies have also taken steps to be more transparent with their users about the requests they receive from governments. Since the Snowden revelations, U.S. companies have filed legal challenges and supported legislation seeking the right to report about the national security requests they receive, and scores of companies have begun publishing transparency reports on government requests for user data. Internationally, telecommunications companies such as Vodafone have also begun to disclose this information, or to be transparent about where they are legally prohibited from reporting.
Some governments have started to signal a willingness to make improvements on transparency. For example, in June 2014 the Ministers of the Freedom Online Coalition, a partnership of 23 governments working to advance Internet freedom, committed to:
"Call upon governments worldwide to promote transparency and independent, effective domestic oversight related to electronic surveillance, use of content take-down notices, limitations or restrictions on online content or user access and other similar measures, while committing ourselves to do the same."
CDT and the Global Network Initiative (GNI) believe that the time has come for a much more specific discussion of the transparency expectations and responsibilities of governments and companies that would facilitate this informed public debate around necessary reform. Working with other stakeholders over the past 9 months, we've developed a preliminary set of specific, actionable criteria for transparency, which we provide below.
Transparency is about more than just reporting numbers. Governments should make publicly available the laws and legal interpretations authorizing electronic surveillance or content removal, as well as report the aggregate numbers of requests, and the number of users impacted by these requests.
Governments should also permit companies to issue analogous reports. The combination of government and company reporting can help the public understand the scope of restrictions on rights and dispel myths about surveillance or content removal. And the progress towards greater reporting on national security requests in the United States demonstrates there is more that both governments and companies can say about interception requests without endangering national security.
In the coming weeks, GNI and the Telecommunications Industry Dialogue will be convening learning forums in California and Geneva to dive deeper into questions concerning how transparency can advance human rights online, and the barriers that both governments and companies face in providing the public with this information. CDT and GNI are also pleased to be working on these issues with other advocates, companies, and members of government through the Freedom Online Coalition Working Group on Privacy and Transparency Online. We welcome feedback on the recommendations below from all stakeholders, and we look forward to continuing this conversation online and around the world.
Content removal or restriction
Any deviations from these transparency requirements would be made only as strictly necessary.
In reaction to the Financial Times op-ed by Richard Hannigan, Director of GCHQ, GNI Board Chair Mark Stephens wrote this letter to the editor, "Need to intrude must be demonstrated, not merely asserted" published November 5:
Sir, Robert Hannigan, director of GCHQ, paints a bleak picture of tech-savvy terrorists, enabled by social media platforms that impede intelligence agencies' efforts to protect the public ("The web is a terrorist's command-and-control network of choice", November 4).
He makes nearly no mention of the sophisticated apparatus of mass surveillance employed by his agency to monitor communications at a scope and scale unimaginable not long ago, from the wholesale siphoning of internet traffic from submarine cables to the collection of millions of webcam images from users unsuspected of any connection to terrorism. Nor does he mention lawful, proportionate and proper co-operation between law enforcement and the ICT sector.
Co-operation between technology companies and governments can and should play a role in addressing legitimate security threats online. But when it comes to handing over user data, or taking down content posted online, companies have an equally important responsibility to respect their users' rights. That must entail a level of transparency and accountability that has been glaringly absent from GCHQ's own conduct revealed by Edward Snowden. The necessity and proportionality of any intrusion into privacy or free expression must be demonstrated, not simply asserted in a "nanny knows best" way by an unaccountable state. There is also a compelling social need for meaningful independent oversight and due process to be built in to the authorising legal framework.
Putting human rights at the centre of the relationship between technology companies, society and governments would be a better way to begin a mature debate on privacy in the digital age than the flagrantly false allegation that social media companies are facilitating murder.

Independent Chair, Global Network Initiative
On July 14, 2014, GNI wrote to UK Prime Minister David Cameron about the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Bill.
Rt. Hon David Cameron MP
Prime Minister
10 Downing Street
London SW1A 2AA
14th July 2014
Dear Prime Minister,
The Global Network Initiative is a multi-stakeholder group of companies, civil society organizations (including human rights and press freedom groups), investors and academics, working to protect and advance freedom of expression and privacy in the Information Communications and Technology (ICT) sector.
We urge reconsideration of the fast-track timeline for the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers (DRIP) Bill to provide adequate opportunity for Parliamentary scrutiny and public debate.
GNI has observed a troubling legislative trend around the world in which requirements are placed on communications providers to respond to government requests for user data outside that government's jurisdiction. By asserting extraterritorial jurisdiction, the DRIP Bill could provide unintended justification for such actions by other governments, including those that seek to limit freedom of expression and other human rights online. We are concerned that the effect of passing this legislation will be to encourage other governments to expand claims of jurisdiction without regard to the physical location of data centers. We urge you to be mindful of these consequences, including the impact of laws enacted in other jurisdictions on the privacy rights of UK citizens at home and abroad, when considering this legislation.
The UK government has other means of lawfully obtaining data from other jurisdictions, including through mutual legal assistance treaties (MLATs). The UK National Crime Agency has been a leading proponent of reforms to the MLAT process that would better address individual rights and law enforcement needs. If passed, the DRIP Bill would undermine these efforts, which we believe to be a more suitable approach to managing challenges around jurisdiction and cross-border data requests.
The United Kingdom plays an important leadership role in the promotion of Internet freedom, including through co-chairing the Freedom Online Coalition working group on privacy and transparency. We believe that giving unintended justification to other governments seeking to limit freedom of expression and other human rights could undermine the effectiveness of the UK's efforts to advance freedom online. We urge you to reconsider the timetable for this proposed legislation and allow a public debate that considers its broader international ramifications.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Stephens, CBE

This piece by GNI Independent Chair Mark Stephens originally appeared at Project Syndicate:
A year has passed since the American former intelligence contractor Edward J. Snowden began revealing the massive scope of Internet surveillance by the US National Security Agency. His disclosures have elicited public outrage and sharp rebukes from close US allies like Germany, upending rosy assumptions about how free and secure the Internet and telecommunications networks really are. Singlehandedly, Snowden has changed how people regard their phones, tablets, and laptops, and sparked a public debate about the protection of personal data. What his revelations have not done is bring about significant reforms.

At the meeting of the Freedom Online Coalition in Tallinn, Estonia, GNI organized a session with the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) on surveillance reforms and transparency:
The Global Network Initiative (GNI) urges the U.S. Senate to address serious shortcomings in the version of the USA FREEDOM Act (H.R. 3361) passed by the House. The bill that passed the House, despite making important progress, contains provisions that could codify continuing the collection of mass amounts of user data. GNI welcomed the introduction of the USA FREEDOM Act in the House and Senate last year. We urge the Senate to improve upon this version, so as to end bulk collection, protect user privacy rights around the world, and continue to increase the transparency of government surveillance practices.
The Global Network Initiative urges Russian President Vladimir Putin to veto legislation that would restrict free expression and privacy rights online.
The "Information, Information Technologies and Protection of Information" amendment adopted by the Duma Tuesday, will go into effect in August if approved by President Putin. The legislation imposes stringent requirements on bloggers, requiring them to register with the authorities and face similar regulations to mass media. The amendment also reportedly requires Internet companies to locate customer data in Russia, where it can be accessed by state security and intelligence services.
GNI Board Chair Mark Stephens said, "This is a steep decline on an already slippery slope. If one state controls and censors dissent in this way, then others will sure follow all too quickly. The Internet is founded on freedom of thought and data: not locking it away in a gilded cage with only the Securitate having the keys."

Google reported a 125% increase in content removal requests from Russia in their most recent transparency report. Extensive blocking of independent news websites was reported in March 2014.
Alternative means of addressing legitimate law enforcement and national security concerns should be used that would also protect privacy and free expression. Rather than imposing onerous data retention and local storage requirements, governments should work together to improve the frameworks governing lawful requests for data across jurisdictions, such as Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs).
This piece by GNI Independent Chair Mark Stephens originally appeared in The Guardian:
"Our intelligence efforts are strictly regulated by our law," responded Vladimir Putin to a question from Edward Snowden live on Russia Today. He added: "We don't have a mass system of such interception, and according to our law, it cannot exist." The Russian president may as well have been reading from a UK script.
Earlier this month, David Cameron welcomed a new report by the UK's lickspittle surveillance watchdog assuring us that our surveillance laws remain fit for purpose, contrary to Snowden's disclosures. The report, by the interceptions of communications commissioner, Sir Anthony May, says UK agencies do not "engage in random mass intrusion into the public affairs of law abiding UK citizens", noting that "it would be comprehensively illegal if they did".
The report exemplifies the ways in which the UK response to the Snowden revelations is providing a worrying precedent for Putin and other autocrats, and has been incommensurate to the scope and scale of the problem at hand.
The Global Network Initiative welcomes the opportunity to provide input for the report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights being prepared as requested in General Assembly Resolution 68/167 entitled "The right to privacy in the digital age." This submission expands on GNI's February 24 letter to the High Commissioner on this topic.
GNI brings together ICT companies with civil society organizations, investors, and academics to forge a common approach to protecting and advancing free expression and privacy online. GNI has developed a set of principles and implementation guidelines to guide responsible company, government and civil society action when facing requests from governments around the world that could impact the freedom of expression and privacy rights of users.
This submission offers specific recommendations to inform the High Commissioner's report based on the experience and perspectives of GNI's multi-stakeholder membership. We recommend the report include the following specific points:

'Cue City: Best Barbecue Hotspots
Posted: October 26, 2016
Written by: Staff Writer
We've rounded up the best barbecue joints in town! So, work up your appetite and get ready to join the the great local debate – about which is the best sauce and who has the best ribs, burnt ends and sides. And be prepared to get messy. If your fingers aren't covered in sauce by the end of your meal, you haven't mastered the art of the 'cue.
Brobecks Barbeque
Brobecks does things a little differently when it comes to barbecue, using rub recipes on the meats before smoking and serving them dry. Slathering on sauce is up to you! Order the Smokey Jo sandwich, a BBQ sloppy joe with beef, ham and pork served on a round bun, with a side of macaroni and cheese.
Burnt End BBQ
Relatively new to the area's barbecue scene, Burnt End doesn't have decades of history but stands out just the same. The award-winning Burnt End Bowl with hickory pit beans served over sweet cornbread with crispy onion straws is topnotch, but we'd remiss if we didn't recommend the sweet-and-spicy coleslaw. If you like to take control, you can't go wrong with the "Build Your Own Bowl".
Jack Stack Barbecue
Jack Stack, originally founded in 1957 by Russ Fiorella, had a small menu and a big dream. Today run by the third generation of the Fiorella family, Jack Stack still uses Fiorella's innovative approach of cooking with hickory wood, now a standard in the world of barbecue. Order the pork baby back ribs and homemade carrot cake, baked to order and served hot from the oven, or the heavenly onion rings or addictive cheesy corn bake. Jack Stack shops barbecue, seasonings and sauces nationwide so no need for 'cue withdrawals when you leave Overland Park!
Jon Russell's Kansas City Barbecue
Pals Jon Niederbremen and Russell Muehlberger opened Jon Russell's after more than two decades of competing in, and winning, national barbecue competitions. Billed as a "handcrafted micro steakhouse," the restaurant offers chicken, ham, turkey, pulled pork brisket, salmon, sausage and burnt ends. On the side, you can't go wrong with the tasty pit beans or southwest-style potato salad. And the house sandwich, the Jon Russell, is a burnt ends-and-sausage delight.
Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que
Anthony Bourdain put Joe's Kansas City on his list of restaurants to eat before you die, and when Andrew Zimmern is in the area, he makes a pit stop – as do most celebrities, enjoying ribs or burnt ends at one of Joe's three locations. Don't just believe the rave reviews though; see for yourself – the line to order is almost always out the door (but goes by fast, so don't fret). The Z-Man sandwich, a slow-smoked beef brisket with smoked provolone and topped with two crispy onion rings, is their best seller and frequently sells out.

Millionaire investors are nearly split on whether they would follow their advisor to another firm, according to a new study conducted by Spectrem's Millionaire Corner.
Millionaires are more satisfied with their financial advisors, but are they loyal?
Nearly two-thirds of investors with a net worth between $1 million and $4.9 million report overall satisfaction with their financial advisor, according to a new wealth level study conducted by Spectrem's Millionaire Corner. This is up from 70 percent in 2009. They are more impressed this year in their advisors' knowledge and expertise as well as recommendations and advice given during the recession (communication, though, not so much; 79 percent said they are satisfied with their advisors' responsiveness to requests, down from 82 percent four years ago).
But Millionaire investors are nearly split on whether they would follow their advisor to another firm, the Millionaire Corner study finds. Fifty-three percent said they would move with their advisor because the relationship is more important to them than firm for which they work. Forty-seven percent said they would stay with the firm because the brand name and perceived safety of working with an established company is more important than their relationship with an advisor.
Nearly-two thirds of Millionaire respondents cited this as the reason why they would opt for their financial services firm over their advisor, while 25 percent said that following their advisor to another firm would be "too much of a hassle." The latter is a heightened bugaboo for those ages 45-54 (39 percent).
Not surprisingly, seniors over the age of 65 are the most loyal clients. They tend to have the longest relationships with their financial advisors. One-fourth of seniors, the highest percentage, said they have been with their advisor at least 15 years, compared with 20 percent of Millionaire respondents.
Fifty-four percent said they would follow their advisor to another firm, compared with 47 percent of investors between the ages of 45-54 and 50 percent of investors under the age of 45. The youngest Millionaires were most likely (70 percent) to give priority to the financial firm's brand name and perceived safety over the advisor relationship.
This is consistent with national studies that have found that young consumers, aided by mobile technology that allows them to instantly research products, opt for the best deal over brand loyalty.

Stories of Remembering
"My plan unfolded in such a quiet, uneventful manner throughout my life that the one constant which affirmed my pre-birth intentions was an unalloyed enthusiasm for the path I was on. Growing up, nature and animals were my constant companions. I felt completely at home with all animals and at ease climbing the tallest of trees. It was the most natural thing in the world for me to seek them out as a child. I was full of adventure and I learned to be resilient and unafraid in my solitary pursuits.
"My dear father recognized my life purpose and encouraged me to become a veterinarian. I embarked on that path over 40 years ago, and with a lot of hard work (and more than a few failures along the way), I'm still caring for animals. These days I spend my working hours helping chronically ill, painful and dying animals make their transition in a peaceful way, by euthanizing them in their homes. Although it is heartbreaking, it is merciful at the same time. My greatest wish is to bring peace and relief to my animal patients and their beloved families in their own familiar surroundings.
"With Rob's guidance, I learned from my spirit guides during my between-life soul regression that, as a woman living in England during World War One, I was able to bring a sense of calm to the people I shared that life with, and I have brought that ability into this life. There were many more details which they shared with me and that revealed just how intimately they understand and support me.
"The most profound moment in my regression with my guides came with a revelation that we can all hold on to: At one point my primary guide extended her hands to me and invited me to stand up with her. When I did so, she told me that every time I fall down, she is there helping me to stand up again, in just the same way. This is something our loving guides do for all of us, whether we realize it or not. Never doubt their unabiding love for us. They are with us through all our joys, trials and sorrows. We are truly never alone."
Carol Miller, DVM
"Hi Robert, I have read both your books, and and your writings have truly resonated deep within my soul. I was drawn and guided to your work after a near death experience in May of 2014. It was such a strange experience, and I am still healing from it now.
"To give you a brief account, I was riding my bike and making a right turn at a very busy intersection in Montreal when I was run over by the four back wheels of an eighteen-wheeler carrying a 1-ton crane. Right when it was all happening I felt strangely calm. I knew it was unavoidable and relaxed into it (rather than tensing up, which would have killed me) and also invoked an emergency Reiki symbol that called in the energies of angels and ascendant masters to help me. I am an energy healer and very spiritual so I definitely had the tools to deal with this!
"After getting run over I never lost consciousness but instead stayed with the pain, meditating into it while everyone around me panicked, to the point that during the ride in the ambulance, I had to tell the paramedic watching over me to calm down. He was yelling my name to keep me "awake" because I had my eyes shut in meditation. I opened my eyes and told him to "please be quiet" as I was meditating and I squeezed his hand to let him know I was okay. I only lost consciousness when I reached the ER when they injected me with ketamine.
"When I finally woke up a day and a half later, after an 11-hour operation where I had 40 Reiki masters from around the world giving me distance Reiki, the first thing I felt (and it was such a deep knowing) was that I had planned it all. So many strange details about my accident make me certain that this was planned and that this accident was much bigger than me on so many levels.
"My recovery was miraculous to say the least… basically after 4 operations, I escaped with no spinal, organ or brain damage! They also told me they weren't sure when I would walk again, but I began walking after 3 weeks. They told me I would be in the hospital for 6 months, but I was discharged to a convalescence after 5 weeks. I continued rehab at a special hospital but was able to go home only three months after the accident. I had a physiotherapist look at my x-rays and marvel at how strange it was that despite the weight of the truck that should have shattered my bones, only the outer bones were broken, as if something had protected the inner parts from being damaged. I had another physiotherapist who had been working for 40 years tell me that I was the most miraculous case he had ever worked on.
"The accident itself was extremely public, it occurred at one of the busiest intersections in downtown Montreal. And that day was also very different in that there was an event/protest happening, so the streets were full of people, including media, police and first response (so that the reaction after my accident was instantaneous). (A bizarre side note: one of my friends was three cars ahead of the accident in his own car and saw it happening and only realized it was me when he saw it on the news, I then ended up in the same rehab facility as his grandma, so he was able to visit us both at the same time lol). I also locked eyes with the police officer that came to my aid right before and as it was happening. I think the hardest part for me was seeing the terror and trauma in everyone as it was happening. I weirdly felt so much sadness in my heart feeling all that pain.
"Eventually though, I realized that everyone who was supposed to be there and the trauma we all experience was a part of a healing on a bigger scale.
"After the accident there was a lot of media coverage about bicycle safety and there was another protest planned on my behalf in solidarity for me at the site of the accident. A group of cyclists even staged a "die-in." I was very touched, to say the least.
"I feel deeply that this accident was beyond me and happened not just for me to learn and grow as a soul, but was also meant as a huge activation and paradigm shift for everyone involved and the collective as a whole."

Woah nice XD You've written so many of these XD
| ZenyZootSuit chapter 1 . 12/29/2012
| Zinka17 chapter 1 . 7/4/2012
I don't understand something. The story is set under the T rating, but then you say it's rated R. In that case you would have to set it as M. But it wasn't even bad enough for that. It's fine being PG-13.
Anyway I thought it was hilarious!
| chatnoir1 chapter 1 . 6/30/2012
Once again, Loki pays a painful price for being stubborn. I could see him doing this, trying to stop a worse catastrophe, no matter the cost. He only let the Frost giants in on Thor's coronation day because he knew his brother wasn't ready to be king. Loki did it for Asgard, then things went to Hel. Good intentions sometimes do that. Well, at least he doesn't have to carry his burden alone now.
| Rye chapter 1 . 6/11/2012
poor Loki
great job & God bless
| Hellsleprechaun chapter 1 . 6/7/2012
I laughed when Loki tried to run away and Thor ended up practically sitting on him. It was a nice twist that Loki was on their side all along, and their hug at the end was cute.

This was really good but why is it rated R?

12:00 amAll Things Considered Oral Arguments - Affirmative Action The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a major affirmative action case, Fisher v. University of Texas, on Wednesday. Abigail Fisher, who is white, says she was denied admission to the university because of her race. The court ruled as late as 2003 that race may be used as one of many factors in admissions. In taking the Fisher case, the court may be signaling that it is ready to reverse or narrow previous rulings.

2:00 amRadio Specials State of the Re:Union with Al Letson Tucson, Arizona -- You can't live in Tucson without constantly thinking about borders. The Sonoran desert is divided by a fence at the U.S.-Mexico border. Tucson is a liberal bastion separated from the rest of a staunchly conservative state. And the city itself is criss-crossed by highly charged boundaries cultural, economic and political. We take listeners to this desert city to hear stories about dividing lines, and what happens when people cross them: sometimes risking their lives, and sometimes their reputations ... and once in a while, against the odds, finding harmony in difference.

10:00 amForum Prop. 31: Two-Year Budget Cycle Supporters of Proposition 31 say the measure would provide badly needed reform and transparency to Sacramento. It would switch California to a two-year budget cycle, require performance reviews of state programs and limit certain expenditures over $25 million. But critics say that Prop. 31 is poorly drafted, will waste taxpayers' money and create new layers of bureaucracy. Do you think state government needs to be reformed? And is this the right approach?
10:30 amForum Proposition 39: How We Tax Multistate Businesses Proposition 39 seeks to close a loophole that measure supporters say gives unfair tax breaks to out-of-state companies. Supporters of the measure say taxing out-of-state companies based on their California sales would bring in $1billion annually and help level the playing field for California companies. About half of the tax money, $550 million a year, would go to energy-efficiency programs and green jobs. But critics say the tax increase will discourage job creation. And, they say, allocating money specifically for green programs is another example of ballot-box budgeting that ties the hands of lawmakers.

VINE: Angry fan amusingly blames his match programme for West Ham being so crap
It was another frustrating day for West Ham fans. They huffed and puffed, but couldn't blow down the Tottenham defence. To make matters worse, they even coughed up a winner that Spurs scarcely deserved. Smug Spurs fans – not likes to see that.
One Hammers fan couldn't hide his rage with amusing results. Just as Eric Dier scored the Tottenham goal, he stands up behind Big Sam and slams his match programme into the wall. 'DAMN YOU MATCH PROGRAMME! YOU'RE THE REASON FOR MY PERSONAL ANGUISH!!'
We're especially fond of the way he quickly has a rethink along the lines of 'actually, I'll hang on to that, I might want to read it later.'
West Ham was definitely the place to be for amusing Vines yesterday, that's largely to this pitch invading genius who took a Spurs free-kick for them.

The size of the tax burden imposed on Britain's pubs was laid bare yesterday in half-year results from JD Wetherspoon.
Wetherspoons, regarded as one of the best-run operators, paid tax of £273.5m in the six months to January, a rise of £23m that sees various levies such as alcohol duty and corporation tax take nearly 44 per cent of sales.
Those sales are up 10 per cent to £626m, but profits slipped a bit to £35m due to rising costs.
Wetherspoons and others in the industry say the lower tax paid by supermarkets is killing pubs. Its chairman and founder Tim Martin said: "If we were taxed on the same basis as supermarkets, we would have paid £40.7m less, since supermarkets pay virtually no VAT in respect of food sales."
Mr Martin says this tax differential is particularly harsh in poorer areas. "It can be ignored in Chelsea, but not in Wolverhampton," he said.
The group, which employs around 30,000 staff, ended the half-year period with 865 pubs and expects to open 30 pubs over this financial year. In the six weeks to March 10, like-for-like sales growth rose to 7.3 per cent.

Have you ever owned a laptop that developed one or more white or dark spots on the screen? Not a sharp dot or pixel, but more of a fuzzy white or dark area? It's called an LCD Mura. Also known as LCD clouding, this condition occurs due to excessive heat and physical pressure to the LCD panel.
LCD mura or clouding can manifest itself as dark or white spots, regions, or streaks. Since this sort of damage is permanent, the only fix is to replace the LCD panel on the laptop, or to just live with it. Prevention is best: Keep your laptop screen away from excessive heat or downward pressure on the top of the laptop.
Here is an illustration of what different types of muras look like: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/239762248_fig1_Figure-1-Illustration-of-line-spot-and-region-Mura.

With the continued proliferation of computer malware, including the ever-increasing threat of ransomare, I want to share with you my concern, and the importance of regularly doing AND checking multiple forms of data backup. Please protect your data!
Ransomware is malicious software that will attempt to infect your computer, encrypt your data, and then ask for a ransom of $500 or more to get your data back. These threats are real, serious, and can destroy your data with no way to recover unless you have good data backups.
Back up your data by two or more means. Think "3-2-1:" Three copies, two types of media, one off-site. I recommend at minimum rotating, off-site external hard drive backups which you plug in to backup, and unplug after making backups, plus at least one cloud-based backup like Carbonite or CrashPlan. Online backup cost is low, starting at $60/year for unlimited storage. Then check your backups regularly to insure that your backups are working correctly. Your backups are all you can count on to recover your data if you get struck by ransomeware, fire, theft, flood, or some other data-destroying event.
Marc Goodman publishes a book titled Future Crimes, which I recommend reading. Please look for his tips on http://www.futurecrimesbook.com. These tips, called The UPDATE Protocol, are a good cheat sheet of best practices on computer security.
You are responsible for your own data and online behavior, but I am here to help. Please let me know if you want help in securing your computer, online accounts and data, and/or want guidance in how to regularly check your data backups.
Hackers recently obtained many online logins and passwords, including some Gmail, Yahoo, and other mail service logins. Those at greatest risk are those who use the same password for their email as they do on other websites where their login is that same email address (which you should never do).
Change your passwords today, make them strong, don't re-use passwords across two or more sites, consider using a good password fault like LastPass, and turn on two-factor authentication on all sites that support it.
If you're using AVG Antivirus, either the free home version or the paid home or commercial version, please update your software to the latest version as soon as possible. AVG released a statement today saying that they are offering free upgrades for paid users through the end of their subscription period in order to get the latest version installed on as many systems as possible. Free home users should update to the most recent free version ASAP. Malware attacks have become more sophisticated, prevalent, dangerous (as in the casse of Ransomware), which is part of the reason behind AVG's move here. If you use AVG, free or paid, please update as soon as possible. Visit this link from AVG for more information.

About Paolo's Numerological Forecast & Personal Day Cycle
Just as Paolo Fresco evolves through a nine-year cycle and experiences the nine-month cycle, he is also subjected to nine-day cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year and even Personal Month cycles. The Personal Day cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year and Personal Month cycles do. The numbers within the daily cycles have a similar impact on Paolo to the yearly and monthly cycles - though less pronounced.

Beauty is something that most people care about. These days, everyone understands the importance of looking good. You don't have to rely on your genetics to look great! Even a token amount of effort on using the tips in this article can mean dramatic results.
Clean your face, and make sure you exfoliate. Get rid of dead skin cells by gently exfoliating your skin. Do this up to three times a week if you need to. Doing this makes your face appear younger and more radiant. It also prevents the buildup of dirt and oil.
You should use the product Vaseline to treat your eyebrows overnight. Your eyebrows will have a shiny and improved appearance. Make sure the Vaseline doesn't get on your skin, as this can cause acne breakouts.
If you plan on a night-out right after work, refresh your look using a fluffy brush and matte powder on oily areas of your face. Putting just a little bit of shimmery make-up on your cheeks will also subtly enhance the appearance of your cheekbones.
If you want to maintain your natural color and avoid grays, take a little curry leaf chutney (approximately one teaspoon) each morning. This provides the vitamins and minerals your pigments need to continue coloring your hair and stay healthy. You can also put rosemary oil in your hair to keep the color.
Purified water and a bit of peppermint oil make a fantastic mouthwash. For each ounce of water, add a single drop of oil. Start by boiling the water, and pour the oil drops into a ceramic container. The next step is to add the boiling water. Cover the mixture with a cloth and leave to cool. Then decant the mixture into a bottle that has a lid which fits tightly. Your mouthwash is ready for use!
Leaf Chutney
Curry leaf chutney can battle grey hair. The leaf chutney naturally makes the pigment cells that color your hair. You only need to consume one teaspoon.
A good way to prevent dark circles under the eyes is with cucumbers or rosewater. These are natural treatments that will lighten and cool your skin. Using cucumber slices is age old remedy for the eyes. You can also dip a cotton swab in rosewater or cucumber juice and placing it on the eyes for approximately 15 minutes.
Vaseline, massaged into your cuticles once a week, can help your nails grow long and strong. That will encourage your nails to grow, as you are feeding new nails and are encouraging circulation in the nail beds. You can also prevent nail chipping by always adding a top coat after you apply polish to your nails.
Try to keep a makeup free face at least one day a month. This will allow your face to breathe a bit and it will help keep it healthy. Your skin will thank you for it!
You must use a top coat if you want your manicure to last longer. Applying topcoat directly after the manicure will seal it, and then you can touch it up with thin coats daily to keep the manicure good for even longer. Your manicure can be extended by many days, if you use the right formula.
You must incorporate beauty tips into your daily schedule. This way, you can accomplish your goals in multiple, small chunks of time. Trying to do all of it in one day can be overwhelming and you might give up.
Lemon Juice
Sometimes, simple, age-old beauty treatments are the most effective. You can make a home made toner with lemon juice and egg white. Mix a tablespoon of lemon juice with a couple egg whites and apply as a mask. Leave it on for about half an hour, then rinse and dry gently. Your skin will look young again.
In addition to the typical beauty aspects, you have in your routine you must also have proper dental care. By having a great smile you will be able to charm the hearts of potential romances, new friends, clients and even bosses. This will translate into better quality of life overall.
There is far more to beauty than what you were born with. With some work, you can greatly enhance your appearance. If you have the right information, it can be worth every minute you spend on your beauty. With luck, the ideas given here can assist you in making the most of your time and money.
