Are we slaves that were created by 'lower gods' or Aliens from a different dimension?
Poster Handle
Post Content
we do have free will ... we have always had a choice about what we participate in ... and we obviously have chosen to enslave ourselves in THIS system of in-equality - we CHOOSE to be SLAVES - to the Elite - of our own free will
no one makes you turn on your TV and increase the ratings of a program that distorts truth or encourages soft porn or violence - you do that of your own free will ... just like Bill O'Rielly takes money for reading lies to you ... and demands 30M a year to do it ... do you really think he has some special talent for reading ? or that he can demand that sort of salary because what he is reading is LIES - and what he is actually getting paid for is his talent to distort the facts and convince you that it is true .
Why is it that someone who has a college degree is paid ten times the amount of money to push a pencil across a page (his signature) when the person doing all the physical labor is paid barely enough to support himself, much less his family ... you support that system and work for these jerks - buy their products and perpetuate the this inequity
collectively we CHOOSE to live like this ... we could bring the entire prison down ... by just stepping away from it and not supporting it any more - because it can not exist without your support
one person at a time, who withdraws their support from the Hierarchies that run the system - makes it weaker ... if we all said NO MORE to the Bansters - they wouldn't have any more control over us ... WE PERPETUATE our enslavement of our own free will .
you can survive better, without a new car payments - so why do you enslave yourself to buy an new one - you can live better, if you don't eat GMO food - so why do you buy it, when you know it contributes to the death of thousands of farmers and consumers... you could wear the same clothes for twenty years, but you insist on supporting the sweat shops in China, so that you can be "in style" ... you can still worship your god, without belonging to and supporting an organized Religion, so why do you - you can grow your own medicine - so why don't you ? you don't have to vote for the lesser of two evils - but you pretend there are only two candidates running - and won't even consider the "good guy" who is trying to buck "the system" by running Independent of "party lines" and their ties to Corp America
You could curb your gas consumption by only going shopping one day a month ... but you make two and three trips to the same store a DAY - everyday and then complain about the price of gas ... you dive you car to work empty even though your path to work passes the homes where your fellow employees live - and you could pool your expenses and reduce toxic emissions and your expenses ... you pay extra for "name brands" when the only difference in the products without familiar labels is the packaging and you give a portion of what you earn to the Government so that they can protect you - even though you know that it is extortion and is used to genocide nations
You CHOOSE to live like this - no one forces you to go into debt for a house or a car, or a lifestyle you can't afford ... or to eat at Mc Donnald's or to shop at Walmart - YOU PERPETUATE AND SUPPORT THIS SYSTEM OF INEQUALITY OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL
if the prison doors were opened today - 85% of you would stay in your cell waiting to be fed Frankenfoods, poisoned water - breathing air laden with radium and metals before you would venture out into the world to fend for yourself (until they turned of the TV)... so don't complain about the system YOU support - because YOU CHOOSE TO SUPPORT IT - nothing prevents you from just walking away from it all - being honest and equal in dealing with your fellow man.

Conflict transformation is the process by which conflicts, such as ethnic conflict, are transformed into peaceful outcomes. It differs from conflict resolution and conflict management approaches in that it recognises "that contemporary conflicts require more than the reframing of positions and the identification of win-win outcomes. The very structure of parties and relationships may be embedded in a pattern of conflictual relationships that extend beyond the particular site of conflict. Conflict transformation is therefore a process of engaging with and transforming the relationships, interests, discourses and, if necessary, the very constitution of society that supports the continuation of violent conflict".[1]
Conflict transformation approaches differ from those of conflict management or conflict resolution. Whereas conflict transformation involves transforming the relationships that support violence, conflict management approaches seek to merely manage and contain conflict, and conflict resolution approaches seek to move conflict parties away from zero-sum positions towards positive outcomes, often with the help of external actors.[1]
According to Search for Common Ground, one of the oldest organizations devoted to implementing conflict transformation programs, conflict transformation initiatives are often characterized by long time horizons and interventions at multiple levels, aimed at changing perceptions and improving communications skills addressing the roots of conflict, including inequality and social injustice.[2]
According to Berghof Foundation for Conflict Studies, conflict transformation means:
A generic, comprehensive term referring to actions and processes seeking to alter the various characteristics and manifestations of violent conflict by addressing the root causes of a particular conflict over the long term. It aims to transform negative destructive conflict into positive constructive conflict and deals with structural, behavioural and attitudinal aspects of conflict. The term refers to both the process and the completion of the process. As such, it incorporates the activities of processes such as conflict prevention and conflict resolution and goes farther than conflict settlement or conflict management.[3]
The Principles of Conflict Transformation, as developed by TransConfict [4], go further in helping define conflict transformation:
"1. Conflict should not be regarded as an isolated event that can be resolved or managed, but as an integral part of society's on-going evolution and development;"
"2. Conflict should not be understood solely as an inherently negative and destructive occurrence, but rather as a potentially positive and productive force for change if harnessed constructively;"
"3. Conflict transformation goes beyond merely seeking to contain and manage conflict, instead seeking to transform the root causes of a particular conflict;"
"4. Conflict transformation is a long-term, gradual and complex process, requiring sustained engagement and interaction;"
"5. Conflict transformation is not just an approach and set of techniques, but a way of thinking about and understanding conflict itself;"
"6. Conflict transformation is particularly intended for intractable conflicts, where deep-rooted issues fuel protracted violence;"
Conflict transformation theory is often associated with the academics and practitioners Johan Galtung and John Paul Lederach.

Customer Reviews and Ratings
Hundreds of customers shared their reviews and experiences using the Delta 50-760 Dust Collector. It generated 4 out of 5 stars as its overall ratings so far, which is not bad. That kind of rating may help you what to consider in terms of choosing this particular model of dust collector. Anyhow, here are some reviews given by real customers who had experience with the efficiency, reliability and usefulness of this dust collector.
One reviewer gave a perfect 5 start and called the unit to be "Worth the Money". This wasn't the first dust collector he used so he was able to compare it with at least one other unit. He had problem using the former dust collector and when he tried Delta's, particularly this 50-760 model, it started well and easy to use. It could really collect dust, including wood dust.
Another 5 star review was from a customer who has a "small workshop". Basically, he needs a dust collector for his business especially that he had "a new table saw". He went for this Delta Dust Collector because he thought it's going to meet the required technicalities and practicalities he needed. He said it's a quiet device with "awesome suction".
A wife shared a review but according to her it's her husband that uses this dust collector. Like other reviewers, she said it's a quiet dust collection system and really accumulates dust.
A much lower score of 4, one user of the Delta 50-760 said that it's a "good platform for upgrades without compromising space". The reason why he didn't give a perfect rate is because the fit wouldn't be that enough and the hose should be "more useful" as well. Other than that, it's a good collector of dust. Click here to read more customer reviews…
Overall, this Delta Dust Collector would be a good purchase. It is portable, quiet to run, and definitely eliminate dust in a room, whether it's for business or home use. This model may be a bit bulky in design but there's no problem storing and moving it.

Forget Libya! WashPost Champions Hillary for President In Gushing 'Wonky Methodist' Profile
The Washington Post is once again kissing a Washington posterior. Two days after lauding liberal Sen. Patty Murray, the Post hailed Hillary Clinton with the dominant headline on Monday's front page: "The secretary of 1,000 things."
Like any other Hillary superfan, Post reporter Stephanie McCrummen could only wonder whether Mrs. Clinton would now prepare a 2016 presidential run or – perish the thought – "this might really be it for one of the most iconic figures in American political history." Benghazi? That's a small speed bump on the Road to Gush-gush:
What is clear is that despite lingering questions about Benghazi, Clinton is more beloved than at any point in her long and at times controversial career, commanding soaring approval ratings, a vast fundraising machine and supporters who gush more than ever that she should run for president again.
McCrummen began the story just like a Clinton lover would: at September's Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York, where all the world's biggest Clinton suckups gathered to honor her. "On a recent Monday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton walked with her husband onto a stage at the New York Sheraton to cheers and whoops and a standing ovation that only got louder as she tried to quiet things down."
She looked tired, the poor dear, said one.
"She's just looked so sad and so tired," said Ritu Sharma, a women's rights activist, referring to Clinton's appearances in the days after the attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.
They wanted to defend her, to rave about her, to say how sick they were of people talking about her hair, and then to talk about her hair, which, several men and women offered, definitely looked best in a simple chignon.
There it is, the mark of a feminist reporter, the kind who wants to fuss that anyone would care about Hillary's hair, and then pronounce an opinion on it in the same sentence as if to say, "You go, girl." Supine Stephanie went on to discuss just how wonky Hillary was as she talked to the press:
A reporter mentioned that she was scheduled to visit with the Mongolian president in his ceremonial yurt, the traditional Mongol dwelling. Clinton smiled.
"It's not a yurt," she corrected, noting that Mongolians prefer not to use the Turkic term. "It's a ger." [Italics hers.]
When discussing Hillary's character, every liberal reporter knows that you skip the 800-pound gorilla in the room, how she tolerated (and tolerates?) her husband's legendary cheating. The Post went to the paint-by-numbers kit and talked to the same old Hillary friends who've offered valentines for her sticky profiles for 20 years now:
Of all the things that Clinton's friends say about her, opinions bend toward two essential facets of her character.
The first is that in the time they have known her — as a student leader in the 1960s, as a first lady, as a U.S. senator or now — Clinton has not really changed except to become more of the person she has always been: a deeply optimistic Methodist who believes that government can advance human progress and a hopeless wonk who knows her yurts from her gers.
The second is that while Clinton is a famously shrewd political operator, she is never more energized or relentless as when she is pursuing a cause that she believes will improve people's lives, however incrementally.
This has often been Clinton's most polarizing quality. It is what her detractors have at times interpreted as self-righteousness and a precursor to classic big-government liberalism. It is what her admirers have viewed as the doggedly pragmatic, in-the-trenches quality that makes Clinton an almost heroic, if also at times tragic, figure.
"This job has just amplified things that have always been there," said Betsy Ebeling, a friend of Clinton's since their childhood in Chicago, when they read novels about knights in shining armor, heard the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. speak, and canvassed Chicago's poorest neighborhoods. "It's given her a great stage for the many things she's always cared about, only now she has the whole world."
Next in the paint kit: discuss just how much Hillary loves Jesus, and never mind the global campaigning to make the world safe for abortion:
"As a Christian, part of my obligation is to take action to alleviate suffering," she told the United Methodist News Service in 1992. "Explicit recognition of that in the Methodist tradition is one reason I'm comfortable in this church."
Sitting in her office two decades later, Clinton said her faith still drives her.
"It is very much fundamental as to who I am and how I see myself," she said.
Wow, what a tough interview that must have been for Hillary. Supine Stephanie knows her assignment is to prepare some journalistic bunting for Hillary's next campaign. The story ended where it began with the whoops and cheers of the Clinton worshippers, and McCrummen threw her own bouquet urging Hillary to go for the White House again:
It was a speech she did not have to give, one filled with the kind of in-the-weeds detail that only a wonky Methodist who believes she is supposed to make good things happen would spend an hour giving. Clinton barely looked at her notes. She seemed to be having a blast.
"Thank you for devoting your energy, your efforts and your resources to improving our world one day at a time," she said before heading off.
All of which explained that the answer to the question of whether Hillary Clinton will run for president in 2016 — whether she will seek the job with the most power to do the most good of all — is another question: whether she can keep herself from it.

Tip Jar
The Cadillac Ranch
& Quirky Amarillo
<< Previous 1
The Cadillac Ranch, copyright
by Rik Gruwez,
Ant Farm's Cadillac Ranch
Several myths
have been perpetuated about the origin of the
Cadillac Ranch, the most popular of which is the one I heard
growing up in the Texas
Panhandle. As the story went, an eccentric
millionaire would buy one Cadillac after another and when it was time
to buy a new one, he would have the old one buried nose first on his
land. However, the truth is, the
Cadillac Ranch was a planned artistic endeavor.
Yes, Texas millionaire Stanley
Marsh, 3 was an eccentric. He was also said to be very down to
earth, quickly disregarding the "III" as too pretentious and using "3"
instead. In 1973, Marsh invited a San Francisco artists'
collective called the Ant Farm to help him in the creation of a unique
work of art for his sprawling ranch just west of Amarillo.
The group
set about acquiring ten used Cadillac's, ranging in model years from
1948 to 1963. Built along the tattered remains of historic
Route 66,
the cars were meant to represent the "Golden Age" of American
automobiles. Most of the cars were purchased from junk yards,
and averaged about $200. The cars were then buried nose-down,
facing west along the old highway. Those that could run, were
driven into the half-burial holes, the rest were hoisted in. In 1974
the project was completed and in no time at all, visitors began to
come from all over the world, leaving their mark on the
ever-thickening graffiti covered cars.
At first, the
cars displayed their original paint jobs – turquoise, banana yellow,
gold, and sky blue, but barely was the monument complete, when people
were scratching or painting their names in the cars. Over time,
vandals and souvenir hounds smashed the windows, made off with all the
chrome, radios, speakers and even some of the doors. The wheels
have since been welded to the axles to prevent more theft. However, Marsh still says "We think it looks better every year."
In 1997, the
Cadillac Ranch was exhumed and replanted about two miles to the
west, in order to escape the encroaching city of Amarillo. Under Marsh's orders, even the old site's trash and clutter was
gathered from the old location and spread around the new location. Otherwise the monument remains the same (and, ever changing) since it
was erected.
Marsh encouraged
visitors to visit the Cadillac Ranch and seemingly didn't mind the constant graffiti added
to the cars.
However, Marsh had many other "artistic
endeavors" in the Amarillo,
one of which is the placement of eccentric and odd "road signs" all
over the city. As to these colorful signs, he did mind if
they are mutilated or stolen. (You can read more about Marsh's Road
Signs by clicking
True Texan in form, Marsh had more than a few run-ins with the law over his brand of
enforcement. At one point, it was said that he penned an 18-year old
boy with a hammer inside his chicken coop, when the boy was caught
red-handed with one of his signs.
Throughout the
years, the
Cadillac Ranch has been repainted many times. In May, 2002, the
cars were restored to their original colors. In June, 2003 the cars
were again painted, this time in flat black, in response to the passing of
the founding member of the Ant Farm.
Some people
today may think the burial of these now much sought after collector's
items is a sacrilege. But in 1974, these cars were not popular and
most of them were bought from junk yards at an average price of just
$200.00. Had they not been used for the ranch "sculpture," they
would have wound up in the metal crusher.
This monument was built as a public sculpture
and visitors are encouraged to participate in it. So, it's ok if you
take your can of Krylon with you, leaving your name or an inspiring
message, which will, no doubt, be erased by another message soon. Photographs may be taken at the site, however, any commercial exploitation
in advertising or product promotion is expressly prohibited without
written permission from the artists. The
Cadillac Ranch has appeared on numerous TV shows, magazines, and newspaper
Stanley March, 3
died in June, 2014 at the age of 76.
The Cadillac Ranch is located west of
Amarillo on old
Route 66, south of I-40 between exits 60 and

Hundreds of protesters, marching in support of a new road through the Amazon basin arrived in La Paz yesterday
The road was cancelled last year by President Morales following protests from the indigenous people from the Tipnis reserve that the road would cut through. Linking Villa Tunari and San Ignacio de Moxos approximately 280km to the north, the road would loop through the reserve.
Whilst the indigenous people protesting say the road would destroy their rainforest home, supporters say the road is needed to bring much needed economic development to the Bolivian Amazon.
The march that arrived in La Paz yesterday marched for more than 40 days from their home communities to demand the government reversed their earlier decision and restarted work on the road.
Protester David Ibanez told the AFP news agency "the road means development for San Ignacio de Moxos, where we live in isolation, and development for Bolivia"
However, some of those backing the road are coca-growers who have been accused of backing the road project in the hope of occupying new lands in the Tipnis reserve to grow coca – the raw material for cocaine.
Whether the road goes ahead or not, there will be losers, on one side the Amazon rainforest and the indigenous people of the Tipnis reserve, or the people of communities in desperate need of economic growth.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist you. I will give the best answer that I can with the information provided.
Without seeing what you may per paycheck, and knowing your whole tax situation, I would not know if you will wind up owing or not, but you are on the right track to do the two-earner/multiple job worksheet. The worksheet is confusing...but if you use it correctly, it will tell you the total of exemptions to claim on all jobs---and it tells you to only use one W4 worksheet.
If you have no credits, children, or other deductions, I would claim single 0 on both.
If you need more detailed information, you will need to give me paycheck amounts, filing situation, etc.

Concept Art Posters For Thor & Captain America
The Dark World & The Winter Soldier launch Con exclusives
You may have already seen the concept art for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which features Steve Rogers going mano a mecha-mano against cyborg-enhanced Bucky Barnes. Now that image, and one of Thor using Mjolnir to fly up past the faces of the rest of The Dark World's cast, has popped up on Marvel's Comic-Con exclusive posters.
The Cap image, from concept man Ryan Meinerding, has Cap (Chris Evans) in mid-fight against the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan). The film itself finds the Star-Spangled man still trying to cope with being out of time, and dealing with new threats in Washington with a little help from Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie).
Chris Hemsworth's Thor, meanwhile, has to deal with the resurgence of an ancient enemy and a battle that will threaten all of Asgard, while also spilling down to Earth again and putting the lives of everyone the warrior god cares for in danger. The Dark World also features Natalie Portman, Kat Dennings, Anthony Hopkins, Idris Elba, Zachary Levi, Ray Stevenson, Jaimie Alexander and some bloke called Hiddleston a few people seem to like. The Thor pic, crafted by Charlie Wen and the Cap pic will be available in San Diego at the Marvel Booth from preview night on Wednesday.
Thor: The Dark World hits UK cinemas on October 30, followed by Captain America: The Winter Soldier on April 4 next year.

2016 came and went in a bit of a blur and it's hard to believe we're jumping feet first into 2017 already! The past year was full of renovations + the re-opening of The Market, involvement in community events, personal life changes, growth in our Downtown neighbourhood and so much more. We're so thankful to all of you for continually supporting small business dreams like ours and are excited to see what the New Year brings. Looking forward to bringing you more locally made + vintage goods, workshops + events and all things Spruce!
It's been a while since we've showed our faces so here are some snaps that our friend Lexa Bergen captured of us in action at both locations. Happy New Year!

Travelers wandering west on Dawsonville Highway out of downtown Gainesville traverse the winding road that connects Hall County's seat to its neighboring Dawsonville, passing old country stores and newly built gas stations alike.
But about six miles west of Gainesville rests a community that most travelers would pass through unknowingly if it weren't for a group of service stations and an adequately named road.
It's a community that has kept mostly quiet for more than two centuries and its people are OK with keeping it that way.
Sardis Baptist Church was established in 1800, more than two decades before Mule Camp Springs was chartered as Gainesville, and has served as the Sardis community's epicenter, unofficially, since.
According to church records, any documentation relating to the church or the area prior to 1881 has been lost or destroyed.
"(Sardis) was a close-knit community," said Glenn Satterfield, who has lived in the Sardis area since the late 1950s. "Everybody knew everybody and we all went to church."
Satterfield, who lives on Lynncliff Drive, about a mile or so from the church, said things were different when he first moved in.
"When we moved out here, Dawsonville Highway wasn't finished — they were working on it," he said. "There wasn't no bridge across the lake, so you had to take the old 53 route to get into town."
That, he said, isolated the community from the growing city of Gainesville.
"We knew some people that lived here and it was a quiet, undeveloped community," Satterfield said. "There was about three houses (nearby) when we moved here."
In fact, he knew every single one of his neighbors.
Bill McNeil lived across the road, he said as he pointed from his seat in his living room, while the Sergeants, Campbells and Wageses lived up the street.
"You knew just about everybody from here back to Chestatee Church," Satterfield said. "It wasn't like people moved in today and out tomorrow."
Satterfield's son attended the Sardis School, across from the church, which housed all grades at the time.
Adjacent to the school and the church was the local hangout — before the gas stations and pizza places.
Ernest Haynes' Sinclair station, a "filling station" that now houses a small grocery store, was the community's hot spot more than 50 years ago.
"That's where everybody met to gossip and talk about growing their 100-pound watermelons," Satterfield said.
But once the bridge and Ga. 53 were completed, the area started opening up to outsiders, and small shops, gas stations and restaurants started to pop up.
"People was beginning to buy land and moving in and start building houses," Satterfield said.
But although the traffic may be thicker and the area now has three schools and a new church building, the community remains largely the same: small and quiet.
"It seemed like it built up good for awhile and then it started (slowing) down," Satterfield said. "It's mostly a family community."

NEW YORK: Democratic Republic of Congo soldiers are raping women in the same areas where rebels committed mass rapes in July and August, the United Nations' special representative on sexual violence in conflict has said.
Margot Wallstrom said the UN peacekeeping mission in Congo, MONUSCO, reported soldiers of the national army sent to the Walikale region of eastern Congo to enforce a government-ordered moratorium on mining were raping women and were involved in killings and looting.
''I call on the government of the DRC to swiftly investigate such allegations and hold any perpetrators to account,'' Ms Wallstrom said.
More than 300 civilians in the Walikale region were raped in a series of attacks in July and August by members of the Mai Mai Cheka rebel group and the ethnic-Hutu Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda.
''The possibility that the same communities who were brutalised in July and August by FDLR and Mai Mai elements are now suffering exactions at the hands of [Congolese national army] troops is unimaginable and unacceptable,'' Ms Wallstrom said.
The DRC's ambassador to the UN, Atoki Ileka, said his government had ''heard the allegations and we are investigating''.
But the head of the army, General Didier Etumba denied his soldiers were raping women in the area.
''Ask the population. They're living in harmony with the [troops]. We've enforced discipline,'' General Etumba said.

Stabbed Columbia teen might have lived if rushed to hospital -mother
Brenda Narine, the mother of the teen who was fatally stabbed at Drying Floor Ground, Anna Regina, on Monday, has said that her son might still be alive if he was immediately rushed to the hospital.
Alex Narine, 17, of Columbia, Essequibo Coast, was stabbed to his back after an argument with a man at Drying Floor Ground, Anna Regina.
The teen was later pronounced dead on arrival at the Suddie Public Hospital. Although it was earlier reported that he was taken to the hospital immediately after the attack, his mother had a different account and she is suggesting that the police might not have been aware that the boy was still alive while he lay at the scene of the crime.
When contacted by Stabroek News, a distraught Brenda Narine said that around 4pm on Monday she received the news that her son had been stabbed.
"When I hear, I left home right away and went to the ground. When meh see meh son he went lying on the ground in the hot sun on the road. That is when I start crying and I tell the police that he didn't dead but they tell me that I must not touch he. I know that he didn't dead as yet. He was still warm and soft," the woman cried.
Narine added that she begged the officers to take her son to the hospital but she was told that her son was dead and they would have to wait until the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officer arrived at the scene. "Not long after, the CID come and they put him in the vehicle and me and my daughter went with them to Suddie. When we reach the doctor say that he dead but if we went earlier he would have survive," the woman related.
This newspaper was told that the man suspected of stabbing Narine had his computer at the time and Narine, who had been consuming alcohol with his friends at the time, interfered with it.
The suspect reportedly told him to stop and an argument ensued between the two.
The man had in his possession a knife and Stabroek News was told that there was a scuffle between them. Shortly after, Narine rolled off the pavilion they were on, got up and ran to the road where he fell.
Witnesses observed a stab wound to the teen's back.
The suspect fled the scene but was later arrested.
A post-mortem examination is expected to be conducted on the teen's body on Thursday.

I am appalled at the utterly distasteful attacking I am seeing on here from one single disgruntled person on this date. Seems a bit over the top for them to create so many random profiles trying to attack the good supporters of this wonderful Foundation during a promotional period in which reviews were encouraged (ends in a few days). I feel that they are personally trying to take down an organization that already has now won this promotional period, and therefore these negative reviews will do nothing but show how immature they are. I hope they can find peace and leave well enough alone. All of us supporters have had enough of the hate speech being spewed across the Internet.
This is a wonderful organixation, a clearinghouse of information on melanoma. Cathy is a voice for those needing an advocate, at a time when both emotional as well as physical stresses can be overwhelming.
My mother is a survivor, and she received excellent help and guidance from MIF. I can't thank them enough for the valuable information and caring they have for melanoma patients. Melanoma is a scary diagnosis for a patient as well as their family, and MIF was able to make this journey less scary and more manageable.
I have been a reader of MIF for several years, as a daughter of a melanoma activist. Recently, when my mother has posted information or questions, the response by Catherine Poole has been negative, inflammatory, and vicious. Recently, the knowledge of this expert and survivor has been deleted. I do not believe that a forum filled with animosity and ignorance could be classified as a 'great non-profit.'
Chandler Rose Morris,
Proud daughter of a melanoma warrior.
One year ago today I found out I had melanoma, and realized how little I knew about skin cancer. Working in healthcare, I was ashamed. It wasn't until I found MIF that I truly found others going through the same situation I had been going through, as well as finding good, sound advice. I used my ignorance as a "suit of armor" and felt helpless. Because of the Melanoma International Foundation, I was able to educate myself on what questions to ask and to prepare myself for what was about to happen in my life. I was sent information to guide me along in the process as well. MIF is a lifesaver!
Great help since my wife got diagnosed with melanoma at the age of 33 early this year. Wouldn't know what to do without the support of Catherine Poole & the many great "victims" and caretakers on this forum. BIG THANKS, Rick
The initial shock of a Stage IV melanoma diagnosis is an experience I hope fewer and fewer people will experience, as the dangers of sun exposure become more widely understood. In the meantime, I found great solace in the Melanoma International Foundation Forum where knowledgeable people all over the world share experiences, updates on scientific and medical breakthroughs, and resources for treatment options. Catherine Poole, the ever present and supportive founder of MIF, does an exceptional job of moderating the forum and correcting misinformation as it may arise. It has, literally, been a life saver.
The MIF website has been a wonderful resource for our family during my daughters battle with stage 4 melanoma. The site is moderated by a panel of experts, making it one of the few sites where answers and discussions are vetted for accuracy. It's founder Catherine Poole invests countless hours and has become a valued counselor and friend.
MIF is the most valuable resource for anyone dealing with melanoma, either patient or caregiver. The site contains the latest news on treatments, links to other resources and the forums to exchange information. Catherine is very knowledgeable about the disease and has been helping patients for several years.
The site provides a great forum for Melanoma patients and caregivers to share information. The service it provides is of critical importance since the care and treatment of this disease is changing dramatically-- to the extent that many doctors are having difficulty keeping up. I check the site daily--check-in with my comrades who are fighting along unseen (but not unheard) by my side--taking from the well of knowledge and adding my small experiential info where appropriate. Also, the woman who runs the site (C. Poole) is well-informed, devoted, and tireless in addressing many of the needs for current information about treatment.

Fans of the popular physics-based puzzle game Angry Birds Space will have some fresh levels to explore.
An update released by developer Rovio adds 20 more levels to the game, which requires players to catapult a variety of birds into structures to take out a group of pigs, all while battling against gravity.
The update also brings back the orange bird, which blows up to a massive size after it hits an object. Players will challenge a new, gigantic boss, but Rovio didn't provide any extra details.
Angry Birds Space has been another huge hit for Rovio, topping 50 million downloads a little more than a month after launch. In May, Rovio revealed the Angry Birds franchise as a whole reached the 1 billion download milestone.

K so there is this girl i like and i havent made any moves yet but thats just because i dont think its the right time yet. my real problem is that im pretty sure she has slept with other guys and i havent slept with anyone yet. nor do i care to until marriage for fear of something happen that i will regret for the rest of my life. the other reason i havent/dont want to sleep with anyone yet is because its against my religious views. im afraid that if i date someone that doesnt have the same views or fear that they will laugh at me and either not go out with me or that they will cheat or break up with me. i dont want either of those to happen. at least not for that reason. im wanting to ask her out but i dont know how she will take it that i dont want to sleep with her. of course i will tell her its because of my religious views but again... i dont know how she will take that. should i even try and take a risk or should i just not try at all?
and of course by "sleep with" u know what i mean... haha

How do you ever expect to meet the right girl -- with whom you can regularly have religiously-sanctioned freaky sex after marriage -- if you don't try at all?
If she's a girl that's worth dating, sex won't come up on the first date anyway. You're not going to have to say "I don't want to sleep with you" on the first date. Actually, you shouldn't say that, ever. Ideally, you'd want to sleep with her from the beginning, you'd just control yourself until the right time.
And, what's the harm in going on a date with a girl that isn't the right one? If you end up on a date with some horndog that must have sex on the first date, and you say "no" ... and she's not OK with that ... then you let her go her own way. No harm, no foul. Just keep looking for a girl that shares your values. You'll never find a girl that shares your values if you're too much of a coward to date at all, for fear of going to dinner with a girl that doesn't share your values.
So, what's the worry? Ask her out. Go to dinner a few times. Find out if you're compatible. If not ... rinse, repeat. Dating is trial-and-error. Skipping the trials for fear of the errors is a good way to die a lonely virgin.
this is true. i honestly was thinking the same thing i just wanted someone elses input. idk... i am weird like that. thanks man.
If she doesn't respect your views, move on. But don't be afraid of getting to know someone just because she may not share your views. Find out! If you're concerned about getting burned, find out some info about her first?
Or how about a radical idea--search for women with associated religious views and principles, and select from that crop?

Meg F. Quijano relates the following incident that happened upon her return from a meeting of the National Organization for Women. Her five-year-old daughter, Lisa, greeted her with the news that when she grew up she wanted to be a nurse. There was a time when nursing was thought by many to be a "woman's job." Quijano told Lisa she could be anything she wanted to be. "You can be a lawyer, a surgeon, a banker, President of the United States&md;you can be anything." Lisa looked a little dubious.
"Anything? Anything at all?" She thought about it, and then her face lit up with ambition. "All right," she said. "I'll be a horse."

ASC Releases Finding Aids to Labor Activist Organizations
The Archives Service Center released finding aids to two labor activist organizations. Environmentalists for Full Employment formed in 1975 to demonstrate that environmentalists and organized labor share common concerns and need to work together to address these issues. This collection includes research files regarding environmental and labor issues, such as occupational hazards, pollution, and clean energy. The Alliance for Progressive Action was formed during the spring of 1991 as a coalition of labor and grass roots organizations in Pittsburgh, Pa., that was involved in labor, environmental, social, political and civil rights issues.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – A Springdale, Ark., man was sentenced Monday to 70 years in federal prison, followed by a lifetime of supervised release, and ordered to pay $25,000 in fines for production and receipt of child pornography.
The sentencing was the result of an investigation conducted by special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Springdale Police Department. William Cannon, 45, pleaded guilty on July 7 to two counts of production of child pornography and two counts of receipt of child pornography. Cannon admitted to producing two videos of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor female, downloading images of child pornography from the Internet, hanging images of nude children throughout his residence and displaying signs with messages threatening children in multiple rooms in his residence.
"HSI will aggressively use its investigative authorities to identify and arrest individuals who seek to sexually exploit children in this manner," said Raymond R. Parmer, Jr., special agent in charge of HSI New Orleans. "HSI is committed to protecting our communities by bringing to justice these child predators, who are a direct threat to our youth. We will continue to aggressively investigate those who victimize children and work with our law enforcement partners at the Springdale Police Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office to protect our communities from sexual predators." Parmer oversees HSI activities for the states of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana.
U.S. Attorney Conner Eldridge commented, "These crimes are reprehensible and horrendous. The defendant has been held accountable for them and sentenced to a lengthy term in prison. We will continue to aggressively prosecute those who pose a threat to our children."
According to court documents, on July 14, 2010, officers from the Springdale Police Department responded to a call from a city fire marshal, who reported that he had discovered a child pornography operation while doing a routine fire inspection. Upon arrival, officers were told by the fire marshal that he discovered several nude to partially nude images of adolescent boys hanging from the walls, along with overtly sexual handmade signs. The subsequent police investigation resulted in the execution of a search warrant at the establishment. Pursuant to the search warrant, police seized computers, camera equipment, video cassettes, children's clothing, several toy dolls in various forms of bondage, and handmade signs depicting messages such as "boy sex," "kill little boys" and "I eat boys."
During a post-Miranda interview, the defendant stated that he was the only person who had access to this room and that he hung the nude/partially nude images of children in this room. Further, the defendant acknowledged filming and producing the videos found in the room, of a minor female engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Dustin Roberts prosecuted this case for the United States.
This investigation is part of HSI's Operation Predator, a nationwide initiative to identify, investigate and arrest those who sexually exploit children, and the Department of Justice's Project Safe Childhood, which marshals federal, state and local resources to locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children using the Internet.
As part of Operation Predator, HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-347-2423 or via its online tip form. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

tipoo - Wednesday, August 22, 2012 - linkWe have Krait for the high end though. With that, I don't feel like we miss much from Medfeild. It was competitive when the first benchmarks were out, but by now it's just ok. Reply
Hector2 - Wednesday, August 22, 2012 - linkIt's called leapfrog. Intel came out with the 32nm Medfield. Then ARM came out with new technology. Next Intel will be upgrading to 22nm with more features & more integration. It's what Intel & AMD did for years until AMD couldn't keep up. Reply
tipoo - Friday, August 24, 2012 - linkSo? For now, Krait is still better on the high end, so my point still stands that we aren't missing much until Intel improves. Reply
SlyNine - Saturday, August 25, 2012 - linkYa, and he's saying soon enough Krait wont be high end. Perfectly valid counter to your point. Reply

Omoronovo - Thursday, August 23, 2012 - linkApple is Samsung's second largest customer in terms of sales volume. In 2010, Apple purchased $5.7 billion of Samsung technologies for use in it's products - mostly flash, LCD panels, and ram, although who knows what else that figure includes.
Apple has no more or less to gain from trying to litigate against Intel. Reply

Renee Raab Whitcombe, mother of two girls, grew up in Scarsdale and Manhattan, and has relocated 11 times, twice with her daughters, now 6 and 7. She has turned this experience into a keepsake journal, Look Who's Moving To a New Home (Budding Family Publishing, $24.95), which helps kids in transition. Sotheby's Real Estate is giving the journal to clients with school-age children moving to or from Westchester.
Whitcombe offers tips for families who are relocating:
1. Present the move in a positive light. Explain to your child the circumstances of the move (job transfer, new job, being closer to family), and let them know why relocating is good for you all. Convey your genuine enthusiasm about the new home, new school and new neighborhood, but don't overdo it with over-the-top cheerleading.
2. Listen. And then listen some more. Communication is critical between parents and children when introducing and preparing for a move to a new home. Encourage questions and candid discussion. Be sensitive to fears, sadness or confused emotions. Let your child know you are available on an ongoing basis.
3. Explain the timing and process. No matter what age your child is, the whole idea of moving becomes more clear when you explain everything step-by-step. Be generous with details about who does the packing, when the movers will come, how the family will travel to the new home, and how the movers will transport everything.
4. Involve your child in the moving process. Allowing age-appropriate input on decisions and planning will help your child feel like a participant in the move. Let your child help pack his own belongings, allow him to decide which things get thrown out or donated to charity, and let him mark the boxes from his own bedroom.
5. Avoid Moving Day Melt Down. Judge your child's emotional threshold for observing movers methodically pack, wrap and empty your home, and make plans accordingly. Perhaps it's best to drop him off with a friend or relative, or hire a babysitter to take him to the park and out for lunch at a kid-friendly restaurant.
6. Visit and research the new neighborhood. Find out as much as possible about your new home and area, and share the information with your child. If your child can't visit the home ahead of the move, bring back pictures or a video to help him envision his new room and the kitchen where he will be eating meals. Get a local map of the new area and highlight school, parks, grocery stores and other places of interest to kids.
7. Stay in touch with friends and neighbors. Help your child to understand that moving away doesn't mean losing special friends and family forever. Buy a new address book to collect contact information. Take lots of pictures before you go — for a memory book. Have a good-bye gathering (at your home, a friend's home, or a local pizza place). Send postcards with your new contact information to friends and family, and include a request for visits, phone calls and email.
8. Be prepared for some acting out and moodiness. These are natural signs of stress and adjustment. Your child may be experiencing several conflicting emotions. It's entirely possible to feel excited, sad and scared at the same time. Going from familiar to unfamiliar is difficult, especially for a child who wasn't responsible for the initial decision to move in the first place.
9. Transfer routines. As you get settled in your new home, remember to bring traditions with you. Keep your same places at the dinner table. Arrange food and drinks in the fridge as you usually do. Resume Friday movie-and-popcorn-night as soon as possible.
10. Plug in to the new neighborhood. Seek out new friends on the block. Sign up for activities your child already enjoys (sports, art class, dance, martial arts). Visit the new school. Get a library card and hit the mall. A proactive approach will go far to generate a sense of familiarity quickly and is sure to help break the ice.

And tries to predict how the Florida Supreme Court would rule on discovery of other claim files of an insurer for purposes of evaluating claims procedures in a bad faith action:
While Ruiz addressed the parameters of the discoverability of the insured's own claim file, as "virtually the only source of direct evidence with regard to the essential issue of the insurance company's handling of the insured's claim," this court finds Ruiz also informs the discoverability of other insured claims files which relate to and illuminate the manner in which the company handles claims of its other policyholders in the general course of its business -- an issue directly bearing on the company's punitive damage liability exposure under statutory language authorizing recovery of such damages where the company's bad faith claims practices occur "with such frequency as to indicate a general business practice." § 624.155 (5), Fla. Stat. (2007).I like the way Judge Hurley phrases his prediction, too:
Because the Florida Supreme Court has not issued a definitive ruling on this distinct issue, this court must predict how the Florida Supreme Court would rule on the applicability of attorney client privilege to other insured claim file materials sought in effort to establish an insurance company's general claims handling practices as those practices potentially relate to its statutory punitive damage liability.Sounds reasonable, but I always find it amazing that there remain so many unresolved questions of Florida law, with new issues emerging pretty much every day.
Based on the analytical approach outlined in Ruiz, and the considerable relevance of other similarly situated insured claim files on the statutory punitive damage issue discussed infra, this court predicts that the Florida Supreme Court would interpret Ruiz to permit discovery of other insured claim file materials in the insurance bad faith context subject to the same limitations governing discoverability of the insured's own claim file outlined in Ruiz.
Wagers, anyone, on Judge Hurley's prediction?
First I'd want to know the Judge's track record -- for instance, how'd he do on yesterday's game?

Skip and Pretend We Played This Redux
A popular item on the Missing Menu Commands page is Skip and Pretend We Played This. If a song is playing that you don't really want to hear, you'd launch this script to increase its play count by 1 (since it would not be increased until the track actually finished playing), set the last played date to the current date and time (ditto), and play the next track. I use it in a live-updating Smart Playlist that, among other criteria, uses the last played date to only list songs not played in the past few weeks. This keeps any track I don't want to hear from re-appearing for another few weeks. Ideally launched via shortcut, and so on.
But ANYway.
Correspondent Dirk Scharff noted that "if used in the first 2-20 seconds of the song the skip counter is increased too and that's somewhat undesirable as this wouldn't happen if I played that song." I don't pay much attention to skips at my house, but he has a point. So Dirk submitted a mod to the script which I have incorporated below:
NEW: A Space Between v1.0
iTunes has had the Crossfade feature for a while, whereby consecutive songs will overlap for a few seconds at end-to-beginning. But what if you want the opposite effect: a set amount of silence between each song? But you can't set a negative Crossfade. A Space Between is an AppleScript applet that will wait a user-set number of seconds between plays of consecutive tracks in a playlist. Just select a playlist, or a track in a playlist, launch the applet, and enter a number of seconds.
The tracks will play, pausing for the entered number of seconds between each track.
Ten Years
February 15th is the anniversary date of this site and this year makes ten anniversaries. Wow, huh? Actually, I had some stuff up slightly earlier than that, but I can't Wayback much of it and the original files are probably on a Zip disc or something. Closet > Back of Closet > Milk Crate > Shoebox > Zip Discs. Like I'm going back there to even look, right?
Thanks for visiting and making it a lot of fun. I use iTunes with AppleScripts everyday and can't believe how geeked-out I still am about it.
Spins v1.0.3
I've updated Spins to v1.0.3. Spins examines your iTunes library and displays stats about your most played tracks. Left to right, its "Breakouts" window, main window displaying one of four panels, and "Live Spins" floating display:
This latest version fixes an issue configuring hours for display, changes how the total tracks of the same rank are displayed in the Live Spins window, and makes some enhancements for stability. Spins is $10 shareware but the un-registered demo is free to use with limited features. Version 1.0.3 is a free update for registered users.

Turkey's economic rollercoaster
But to forecast Turkey's performance in recent years, you may as well have turned to lottery numbers as an analyst.
It was only in April, for instance, that the OECD, one of the best respected economic research bodies, forecast economic growth in Turkey of less than 2% this year.
Last week that estimate was doubled, after official data for the first half of 2002 showed growth running at an annual rate of more than 8%.
Search the archives for 2000 and you will find many commentators praising Turkey as an economic miracle as its output revived, and inflation and interest rates dropped sharply.
That was before the currency and banking crisis which hit late in the year.
Shares rise
Recent months have seen Turkey repeat its history of reversal.
Tipped a year ago, after the 11 September attacks, as a country set to exploit its position as a bridge between the West and the Middle East, Turkey first seemed to have squandered its chance, as political instability took root.
The prospect of Turkey, as a member of NATO, having to back a US war against Muslim Iraq, and the rise of a Justice and Development Party (AKP) - deemed too Islamic for the West's liking - hit financial markets and only worsened the country's prospects.
Yet on Thursday, with the general election but days away, the likely emergence of the AKP as the most popular party cheered investors.
"This kind of increase should be seen in the context of the election," said Niyazi Atasoy, at Ata Invest in Istanbul, as the price of Turkish shares and government bonds rose.
Status quo
Crucial to the increased confidence has been the acceptance by the AKP of the bulk of the terms of a $16bn (£10.2bn) loan package agreed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after the 2000-2001 crisis.
Failure to maintain repayments on the loan, which has been widely credited with underpinning Turkey's recent recovery, would destroy the faith of foreign investors in the country.
This at a time when, even if it has been snubbed over joining the European Union, Turkey faces the prospect of a doubling in financial support from Brussels as part of a membership preparation package.
Investors have been further settled by the continuing popularity of the Republican People's Party (CHP), the only other election contender consistently to score double figure popularity ratings in voter polls.
Backed by former economy minister Kemal Dervis, the CHP is the most pro-IMF of the major parties, and likely to defend the status quo, at least in terms of economic reforms.
Political risk
Stability is exactly what Turkey needs if it is to build on its "surprisingly brisk" recovery, the OECD believes.
"The recent pick-up in interest rates due to an outbreak of political uncertainty has already had costly consequences for the Turkish public finances," last week's OECD report said.
"The biggest risk to the consolidation programme is the political one."
The country needed to maintain its "impressive progress" in reforming banks whose loan policies, and lack of reserves, were so instrumental in the 2000-2001 crisis.
With progress in privatisation, and liberalising sectors such as telecoms - Turkey is the only one of the 30 OECD member nations to have a monopoly on fixed line phone services and infrastructure - the scene is set for a revolution in the country's international standing, the report added.
'Kick out' IMF
Still, many observers will question the conclusions of such a Western-oriented organisation.
And, as ever in Turkey, upset is never far away.
Election candidates prepared for their last hours of campaigning in the knowledge that one quarter of the electorate had yet to decide on which party to back.
It was only a couple of weeks ago that election-watchers were focusing on the rise of the Youth Party, headed by multi-millionaire Cem Uzan, who has pledged to give the West a "good kicking" and to "kick out" the IMF.
The OECD's latest forecasts for Turkey may yet need revision again.

Deere and Company Announces Indefinite Layoffs
Deere and Company is announcing layoffs because of a slowdown in demand for farm equipment.
It says it is placing 600 workers on indefinite layoff and the action affects Deere's plant in Ankeny as well as facilities in Moline and East Moline Illinois as well as Coffeyville, Kansas.
In July, Deere informed employees at its Ankeny facility of an extended shutdown affecting most manufacturing workers there. It is running from September 29th to October 31st.
110 Ankeny employees have been told they are being placed on indefinite layoff September 29. The plant currently employs 1,180.
Deere also has implemented a seasonal shutdown affecting most of the manufacturing workforce at the John Deere Ottumwa Works.
Sales and revenue were down five percent in the just concluded third quarter compared to a year ago.

Some to stay through nor'easter to ward off thieves
NEW YORK — Richard Chan prowled around his cold, dark Staten Island home with knives and a sword to protect it from thieves, standing his ground as another East Coast storm threatened and police went through neighborhoods with loudspeakers warning people to get out.
"I still have some valuables. I just can't leave it," he said Tuesday. "I just don't want to lose my stuff to some dirtbag."
While city officials strongly encouraged storm-ravaged communities to seek higher ground before Wednesday's nor'easter, Chan was among a group who adamantly refused to leave, choosing to stick close to the belongings they have left.
Since the superstorm made landfall more than a week ago, killing 40 people in the city, more than 100 in 10 states and leaving millions without power, police said overall crime has actually gone down, not up. There are few reports of looting storm-damaged homes.
But Alex Ocasio wasn't convinced. The nursing home worker planned to ride out the latest storm in his first-floor Rockaway apartment — even after seeing cars float by his front door during Sandy.
As the water receded, men dressed in dark clothes broke down the door and were surprised to find him and other residents inside. "They tried to say they were rescue workers, then took off," he said.
He put up a handmade sign — "Have gun. Will shoot U" — outside his apartment and started using a bed frame to barricade the door. He has gas, so he keeps the oven on and boils water to stay warm at night. "It gets a little humid, but it's not bad," he said. "I'm staying. Nothing can be worse than what happened last week."
In the Rockaways, one of the worst-hit areas, nightfall brings with it fears of looting, burglaries — even armed robberies. The idyllic seaside boardwalk was in ruins, streets were covered with sand and cars scattered like trash.
"You can't go there after dark anymore," said 57-year-old construction worker William Gavin, pointing to a battered, lower-income section of his beachfront community. "It's a good way to get a gun pulled on you."
Earlier this week, a retired police officer fired warning shots at someone trying to break into her home in the middle of the night, said Sean Kavanagh.
"I don't blame her," said Kavanagh, also a retired officer. "I would have done the same."
Kavanagh says he's staying home, in part to protect it. "I leave and anything can happen," he said. "It's open season."
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said it wasn't wise to stay put.
"I think your life is more important than property," he said.
Kelly said police have arrested 123 people citywide since the storm blew in last week, 54 burglary arrests and 41 others stemming from gas line disputes. Police said the majority were in areas suffering from the storm.
"You would think, under the circumstances, you would see much more," Kelly said. "We haven't seen that."
Burglaries were up 6 percent citywide compared to the same period last year, but overall crime was down 27 percent, police said.
More than 1 million people remained without power on Tuesday, and forecasters said the nor'easter headed to the region on Wednesday could still bring 50 mph winds gusts to New York and New Jersey, an inch of rain and a storm surge of 3 feet.
"I know it's been a long, long eight days," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.
The storm fallout didn't deter voters in the most battered areas, with heavy turnout in New York and New Jersey. Cuomo had given displaced New Yorkers the right to vote at any polling place in the state.
Willamae Cooper, 63, rode out Sandy in her apartment in the beachfront Dayton Towers complex in the Rockaways. By Tuesday, Cooper had seen enough. She decided to leave for her daughter's house on Staten Island, rather than have a front row seat to another storm.
"After that first one, God knows what could happen," she said.
