The Greyhound Diaries is an outstanding musical tour project that was created by Doug Levitt. The project focused on showcasing songs, images, and stories to folk-rock and pop fans. Levitt came up with the idea for the project as he was touring Bosnia, Rwanda, and Iran. His work as a foreign correspondent for ABC, CNN, and MSNBC also inspired the creation of the Greyhound Diaries. As Levitt created the project, he wanted to cover over 100,000 miles by the end of 2015.
The Greyhound Diaries received a lot of praise because it portrayed American history through music and pictures. Levitt featured on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Reuters and The Wall Street Journal. Since it was launched, the Greyhound Diaries has led to the creation of published writings, one-man show, two records, one web series, and photo exhibits.
About Doug Levitt
Doug Levitt is an American pop and folk-rock artist known for creating the Greyhound Diaries. He uses the guitar and piano as his main musical instruments. He spent most of his life in Washington, D.C as he attended the Woodrow Wilson High School. Levitt also attended the Cornell University for an undergraduate degree program. As he completed the course, he earned a Fulbright Scholarship. The scholarship covered his masters in International Relations course that he pursued at the London School of Economics.
Musical Career
After finishing his master's degree at the London School of Economics, Levitt worked as a singer-songwriter and a foreign correspondent. He later decided to relocate to Nashville and met producer David Henry. The American producer was known for producing hit songs for Guster, Yo La Tengo, and Josh Rouse. Levitt and David worked closely in conceptualizing The Greyhound Diaries.
As a foreign correspondent, Levitt toured the world and captured over 20,000 images. He has performed at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the Southern Poverty law Center, the Kennedy Center, University of Southern California, and the Wood Guthrie Center. David Henry produced most of his recordings. Steve Bowman, the founder of the Counting Crows, and Craig Wright, a drummer, have also been featured as contributors to Levitt's musical projects.

Produced from the mid to late 1960's in Kilbowie Scotland, this machine was something fresh and new to the Singer Featherweight market. The official Singer color was called "Pale Turquoise", but the machine was often times more white or pale green in appearance depending on the casting light. For ease of reference, naming it the White Featherweight has become common place and known throughout the world. So, whether you hear of a pale or celery green, pale turquoise or white Featherweight, they are all in reference to this same model machine. With its interior toothed belt, it was considered in its day to be a high-tech upgrade to the standard black model. If the interior belt ever needed replaced, however, it would have to be done at the factory. In all the years of servicing Featherweights we have only ever had one white machine that had a worn out belt. That machine was so well worn and cosmetically abused, it appeared to have been used in a factory.
Below you will see some of the distinctives that make the White Featherweight unique from the standard black 221.
Machine has no gold decals and the bed extension is shorter. Black painted lettering are limited to the light housing and the back arm of the machine.
Bed Extension is pressed on with pins and does not have screws that keep it in place.
Bottom tray is a masonite board and is held on with a small screw.
Underneath the White Featherweight you can see where the belt continues down and connects to the rotating hook shaft. Looks quite a bit different than the black and tan Featherweights, doesn't it?
The presser bar spring sits outside of the presser bar on a White Featherweight, whereas this spring is placed inside the presser bar on black and tan Featherweights and is accessed by unscrewing the screw on the top of the machine. The two styles are not interchangeable, but they serve identical purposes, maintaining pressure on the presser foot.
Electrical Cord and Foot Controller are hard-wired into the machine whereas on the black and tan Featherweights the cord is plugged into the machine as a separate unit.
This particular case had a very pretty light purple hounds tooth paper lining.
A softer sided vinyl case, usually found in Canada, were available in two colors. The bluish-grey (above) and bold red (below.
As you can see there were many differences between the black Featherweights and the White ones. In spite of all these minor cosmetic and mechanical differences, the machine still classified as a 221 model machine. Stitch formation and lightweight portability continued to keep it in a class all by itself.

The year is 1878, peak of the Texas cattle trade. The place is Dodge City, Kansas, a saloon-filled cow town jammed with liquored-up adolescent cowboys and young Irish hookers. Violence is random and routine, but when the burned body of a mixed-blood boy named Johnnie Sanders is discovered, his death shocks a part-time policeman named Wyatt Earp. And it is a matter of strangely personal importance to Doc Holliday, the frail 26-year-old dentist who has just opened an office at No. 24, Dodge House.
Beautifully educated, born to the life of a Southern gentleman, Dr. John Henry Holliday is given an awful choice at the age of 22: die within months in Atlanta or leave everyone and everything he loves in the hope that the dry air and sunshine of the West will restore him to health. Young, scared, lonely, and sick, he arrives on the rawest edge of the Texas frontier just as an economic crash wrecks the dreams of a nation. Soon, with few alternatives open to him, Doc Holliday is gambling professionally; he is also living with Mária Katarina Harony, a high-strung Hungarian whore with dazzling turquoise eyes, who can quote Latin classics right back at him. Kate makes it her business to find Doc the high-stakes poker games that will support them both in high style. It is Kate who insists that the couple travel to Dodge City, because "That's where the money is."
And that is where the unlikely friendship of Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp really begins - before Wyatt Earp is the prototype of the square-jawed, fearless lawman; before Doc Holliday is the quintessential frontier gambler; before the gunfight at the O.K. Corral links their names forever in American frontier mythology - when neither man wanted fame or deserved notoriety.
©2011 Mary Doria Russell (P)2011 Random House Audio
"Fact and mythmaking converge as Russell creates a Dodge City filled with nuggets of surprising history, a city so alive readers can smell the sawdust and hear the tinkling of saloon pianos....Filled with action and humor yet philosophically rich and deeply moving - a magnificent read." (Kirkus)
"Terrific writing; brilliant reading..."
This fine book is not a genre "western" - it is rather historical fiction of an exciting kind as it takes two of the mythic figures of the west: Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp and weaves a story of their lives in Dodge City - before the famous Tombstone years.
The book is full of incident and themes, dealing with pride, the brutal lives of many women in the cattle towns, revenge, loyalty to friends and the ravages of disease also - in this case Doc's rampant and movingly described tuberculosis. But there is plenty of humour and satire and wit in the story too, especially in the ironic way Doc speaks and acts - as he deals cards at Faro tables, interacts with his fearsome paramour Big Nose Kate, practices sophisticated dentistry on Wyatt Earp's front teeth and avenges a great wrong.
The only other western-set novel I know that has a similar depth is Ron Hansen's "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford", and that book has a pace and momentum which "Doc" occasionally lacks. Hansen's novel would make a great audiobook too.
But "Doc" is a really fine "listen" - quite brilliantly read by Mark Bramhall, whose range of voices and accents is superb and who narrates at just the right speed - at least for me. So for an authentic look behind the myths, and a compassionate examination of human nature under harsh dog-eat-dog conditions, this carefully researched and powerful novel by Mary Doria Russell - an author new to me - is highly recommended.
"Great writing and narration"
We are listening to "Doc" and the combination of great writing and a gifted narrator equals an amazing experience. This book is an example of how a well written book can be elevated to heights that cannot be reached by just reading the written word. Congratulations to the author for having such elite writing skills and to the narrator and his perfect voice. Thank you.
I loved this book! I'm a big fan of "LONESOME DOVE" and I enjoyed this one just as much. This book is very different, but still, a western. A GOOD western is a rare thing! This is a good one.
The narrator is so good I have been searching for other books he's done. He is a new find too!
5 stars for the book and the narrator.
"Outstanding -"
This is a fantastic audio book - the writing is wonderful and the performanc makes it all the better.
I have always admired Mary Doria Russell's writing and was not disappointed with this latest story of Doc. She brings a depth of character to Doc from her imagination and paints pictures with words that make you able to visualize the place, time and character of the people in Doc's life. The reader Mark Bramhall, makes the story come alive. His ability to play the part of each of the characters is very good. I will pay attention to other books he reads. It is a turn-off to have a reader that sounds false when portraying, for instance, females. Mr. Bramhall is believable and non-offending.
This is a great story -- so well written, all the characters are rich, and the weaving of the story is absolutely enchanting. As wonderful as that is the narrator's skill and talent makes it breathtaking. I've listened to this book several times and am more impressed with the narrator's talent each time.
I will look for this author and especially look for this narrator in the future.
"Gotta Love it!"
This was so much more than just GREAT, a thoroughly readable, (OK, listenable,) book that adhered to the verifiable historical facts, even when those facts put our hero in a not so heroic light...Excellent!
Although I'm not a western fan this author (and narrator) have brought the characters to life so well that I truly believe I know and like them. Hate to have it end but want to solve the mystery.
"One of My Top Listens to Date!"
Doc was recommended highly and since I'm not much into Westerns, I hesitated, yet so pleased I stepped into the world of Dodge City. I was quickly ensconced in the lives of Doc Holiday, Kate, the Earp Brothers and a cast of characters so vividly described by the author, it was like I stepped back in time.<br/>Mary Doria Russell has an exceptional writing talent of depicting the characters and locations so that one feels as though you are visiting Western towns of the late 1800's with the likes of cowpokes, saloons and small town activities all the while demonstrating events which influenced John Henry Holiday's life.
There are too many memorable moments within this novel to note which makes this book so wonderful! You just need to experience for yourself!
Mark Bramhall compliments the story by capturing a slow Georgia drawl while easily transitioning to an Irish brogue or female Hungarian dialect. His gasping for air as he read of the ongoing coughing spells plagued by Doc Holiday emphasized the pain and torment experienced every day in the life of this young man.
It is rare when a novel comes along where I wish life's surroundings would stop and allow me to just participate in another world and Doc is one of those books.
A true enjoyment!
I was very impressed with the story and the narration. Something for almost anyone in this book, western history, American history, romance, philosophy and a lot of truth. I was particularly taken by the writers knowledge on the truth about the civil war (although the book only just touches on the civil war) - she has obviously not fallen for the politically correct data on the subject.
"Excellent Narration, Excellent Story"
Mary Doria Russell does it again with another detailed absorbing tale. The narration was excellent and really brought the story to life.

About the Book
By invitation of Steve Ury, also known as "Sku," aficionados of whiskey came together for this epic night.
Steve describes the Los Angeles addition of Gazebo West as: "The Gazebo is a tradition during the Kentucky Bourbon Festival in which StraightBourbon.com forum members and other whiskey geeks gather to enjoy great American whiskey. Everyone brings a bottle and they get passed around. When someone on SB proposed a bourbon gathering in LA, I decided to host it and make it Gazebo West, a similar event at my place for the LA area bourbon fans."

Resizing Text Field
Hi there!
I am new to this and slowly trying to figure out how code works. My email subscription box on my website is way too big and is making the sidebar too big and the main content too small: http://www.theconvivialtable.com/
I'm guessing at the code but I think this is it:
#sidebar #email-subscription input { background-color: #ddd; border: 0 none !important; color: #888; float: left; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; height: 35px; line-height: 35px; margin: 0; padding: 0 10px; width: 200px; } #sidebar #email-subscription button { background:url(images/subscription-button.jpg) #666 no-repeat; border: 0 none !important; color: #fff; cursor: pointer; display: block; float: left; height: 35px; padding: 0; width:40px; }
I've tried changing both of the width numbers but that doesn't seem to do anything. Can anyone help?
Thank you!!

Here is your chance to support your favorite firewall and why! Show off your ACL skills and explain why you love the firewall you use.
Perhaps your favorite firewall is iptables with certain plugins, maybe your love is for cisco ASA's, perhaps you prefer working with cisco routers or switch ACL's, or you say its all junk and work only with windows and sonicwall firewalls. Whatever the firewall, whatever the reason list it and support it here.
Support your firewall, give your reasons, backup your support with why and how you use it, and whenever possible show some configuration examples and stats to show off your skills and help others learn.

I have a soft spot for M0n0walls but here at work our main firewall is a Fortigate with an analyzer. Fortigate boxes are a love hate relationship. On one hand you get a nice firewall with lots of options, on the other the support is terrible and you feel like you are constantly using beta firmware.
Sep 1, 2009 at 8:34 UTC
I have a Cisco ASA 5510 at the main site, and I like it a lot. We've got it because it was cheap through TechSoup.org. Seems like if there's something firewall-like to do then I can count on it to handle the job pretty well. I don't have a lot of experience with other firewalls, though if I had to pick the most amazing one out there I'd probably say an ISA 2006 box (soon to be renamed and updated Forefront Threat Management Gateway). Does all of the standard firewall stuff, plus so much more it's about ridiculous. I just haven't had the time to devote to learning it and really using it for it's purpose.
Sep 1, 2009 at 8:41 UTC
ISA is making a comeback? I never really could get on board with pushing all my traffic through a windows box. Slimmer is better...usually :)
Sep 1, 2009 at 8:49 UTC
ISA boxes are normally extremely secure though - when set up properly anyway :) I think a lot of the time they are placed behind another firewall, but that's probably not really necessary. They are capable of quite a bit of inspection and rewriting and such that I haven't seen anything else capable of doing.
Sep 1, 2009 at 8:54 UTC
I personally like the ASA, I have 2 5510's that I manage and they work great and are flexable. Before them I had a sonicwall, hated it, I had a lot of problems with it crashing among other issues. The ASA's have a lot of functionality that I like such as the web vpn, web clientless vpn, excellent logging, and much more.
I also personally like iptables, I still don't know that much about it but learning. I find it truely amazing what all you can do with it. I honestly think iptables is the most powerful and flexable firewall you can ever use seeing how wide spread it has become and what all you can do with it. The only problem is the learning curve, but that why we have things like pfsense, monowall, untangle, firewall builder, and many many other tools available.
And I'm with digitalblacksmith, putting a windows server on the edge of my network makes me feel like I'm just asking for my network to be ransacked.

IPCop is my fav. Probably because I've used it for so long now.
Forked off smoothwall, decent GUI, plenty of add-ons if you want/absolutely need them and a very good user community for mailing list support.
Not so sure how scalable it would be, but for my office of around 60 devices and a lot of multipmedia web use, it works great. And this is running off old PentiumII hardware with around 512Mb of RAM. I really should upgrade those boxes one day....
Sep 7, 2009 at 8:32 UTC
Currently using a Checkpoint FW device.
It's very powerful, but a pain to configure.
Fireboxes are limited in function but brilliant to configure and the realtime connection analyzer is the handiest net tool I ever had.
I used to sell and support Fortinet devices. The config is ok, not great. The thing they are really good at is site-to site VPN. I would never use one by choice though.
Sep 8, 2009 at 8:26 UTC
Ya Nick I am starting to wear thin on the fortigate appliances, they are just so friggin buggy. However, v 4.0 seems to be smooth enough for now, they still have some annoyances in the GUI.
Sep 30, 2009 at 1:56 UTC
As far as open source I think I would have to go with IPCOP, but it seems as though the development on that has slowed down.
I really like Checkpoints interface and their live monitor is really easy to trouble shoot things. But they are kind of a pain to maintain, we had a software one running on a *nix type platform... i think it was called splat.
Watchguard and Juniper aren't bad either.

I tend to support Cisco firewalls boxes as they tend to be good what what we use them for. I do hear good things about Fotigate though.

Mikrotik ftw.
Awesome cosmic power - really crappy documentation.
Support only through 3rd parties - most of them in former soviet block countries.
But really decent hardware and lots of features if you can figure them out.
MT products consist of their proprietary OS - Router OS - and hardware - usually.
They do have an x86 version of router os that you can buy and install on your old/new pc- but you'll get better performance with dedicated switch chips.
For my most fully implemented site, I have a hospot running with a clickthrough auth page, a proxy, and a microsd card in it to store the proxy data.
It supports fairly standard firewall rules - looks a lot like ios which looks a lot like iptables, since they're all basically the same thing.
You can mark packets based on any of the standard methodologies, or on any identifiable parameter including regex strings.
So...I can mark a dns lookup for pirate bay based on regex, then based on that marking limit the session traffic to 1 byte/sec - or drop it entirely.
Based on p2p packets, I can place the user on a Bad Boy list, and qos traffic based on membership in that list.
I can redirect anyone trying to go to penthouse.com to kittenwar.com instead.
Where else are you going to find a mpls/bgp capable router for $40?

secure computings sidewinder which is now mcafee's secure firewall
- type enforcement providing layered defense.
- disciplined security software design practices
- first firewall accepted into evaluation against Common Criteria (EAL-4+)
- matured from gaunlet as an application based firewall
- on board IDS expandable (off-load)
- trusted-source reputation based system. drop traffic just based on source ratings.
- TRUE https AND ssh proxy inspection.
- they put these damn things in TANKS! (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13639_3-9814372-42.html)
experience - i sold and installed these things for a couple years. everything from SMB's to large hospitals to well know retailers in H/A pairs, standalones or centrally managed. these were above and beyond anything on the market at the time. i miss them terribly.

I had used many software firewalls before but had bad experience with them, however, after a long research I decided to use hardware firewall. For the past 6 months I am using firewall from WatchGuard Technologies which is one of the best firewall and delivers email security, web security, data loss prevention, UTM and many more. It is available for businesses of all sizes, from 50 users or fewer up to 10,000 or more.

Voodoo Networks is an IT service provider.
Depends on the application. Cisco's are good, Sonicwalls are good, Barracuda is getting better.
Not particularly fond of software firewalls - not from a security point of view, it's more of a management / troubleshooting / dealing with them issue for me.
I usually happy to find customers that have firewalls, as long as they aren't setup with dumb rules like "allow any any" on inbound traffic.
And right now I'm liking the sonicwall option best most of the time as it's fairly easy for us to setup centralized management and monitoring of all the customer firewalls that we're dealing with.

OpenBSD with pf.
It's strong, reliable, flexible and at last but not least free.
I've tried enough firewalls, but none of them can do what you can do with OpenBSD.
Feb 16, 2011 at 9:11 UTC
I've used a whole slew of them, and there's pluses and minues to all of them. If I had to point a finger for sheer ease of use, I'd say either Juniper or sonicwalls (I say that because I've worked with them the most).

Walking Tall
Movie review by Greg Carlson
"Walking Tall," director Kevin Bray's remake of the popular 1973 film of the same name, is not likely to be nominated for any Academy Awards, but then it is doubtful that the filmmakers were thinking like Harvey Weinstein when the cameras were rolling. Former pro-wrestler The Rock plays Chris Vaughn, a Special Forces veteran who returns home to the Pacific Northwest (British Columbia stands in for Washington) just in time to discover that his idyllic childhood community has been transformed into a nightmarish wasteland of drug abuse and economic hardship.
The original movie, which starred cult favorite Joe Don Baker as Sheriff Buford Pusser (the Tennessee lawman whose real-life exploits formed the basis of the story), evolved into something like a franchise, with a pair of sequels (Baker bowed out and was replaced by Bo Svenson), a short-lived "Walking Tall" TV series (also starring Svenson), and a television movie with Brian Dennehy. Someone apparently balked at the notion of The Rock playing someone with the decidedly un-Rocklike handle Buford Pusser, which is a shame if only because it would have been amusing to see the hulking powerhouse answer to the moniker.
While The Rock continues to prove that he is genuinely charismatic and can easily hold his own on the big screen, "Walking Tall" is a great deal less intelligent than its leading man. Director Bray chugs through the all-important fight and action scenes with workmanlike skill, but anything that requires subtlety or sensitivity ends up being hammered home like it was mere fodder for Vaughn's massive cedar club. Audiences will do well to stifle their laughter when they witness the ham-handed shots of young addicts leaving their babies unattended in order to score drugs (that this occurs in broad daylight, on streets bustling with activity, not only calls for The Rock's trademark eyebrow-raise, it insists on ridicule from the audience).
Vaughn quickly reckons that his one-time buddy Jay Hamilton Jr. (Neal McDonough), now a sleazy, peroxide-drenched scoundrel, is behind the town's downfall. Hamilton sold the family mill – depriving folks like Vaughn's hardworking father of employment – and opened an adult-themed casino in its place. Even worse, Hamilton is peddling all sorts of illicit drugs to mere children, who have the audacity to smoke pot in public parks. After consulting his goofball ex-con chum Ray (Johnny Knoxville, having more fun than then script affords his character) to confirm Hamilton's devilry, Vaughn busts up the casino and ends up defending himself in court for his hot-headed actions.
Bray jumps immediately from the legal proceedings to Vaughn's new role as sheriff, but nothing outside of the choreographed brawls is valued by the shallow screenplay. When Vaughn's old flame Deni (Ashley Scott) shows up to rekindle their romance, one begins to wonder why she was included in the story at all. This is too bad, because Scott delivers a decent performance, and because any kind of emotional investment in the characters would have surely made the movie less boring. The same thing goes for Vaughn's family, who fade into the background when they should have provided the demonstrative ballast for the main character's unorthodox decision to "take matters into his own hands." The Rock remains tremendously watchable, however. Maybe his next one will be better.
This review was originally published in the High Plains Reader the week of 4/5/04.

Tummy Tucks more popular than Breast Augmentation
15 June 2015
Breast surgery has long been the most popular of all Cosmetic Surgery procedures – and while it's still in top position, enquiries for Abdominoplasty surgery (Tummy Tucks) are up by a whopping 264 per cent.
The procedure involves removing excess skin from the patient's abdomen to leave make the area firmer and tauter.
Private healthcare search engine WhatClinic.com released the figures, showing that getting a firmer stomach is becoming a greater concern for prospective Cosmetic Surgery patients.
Similarly, Lipoabdominoplasty was also confirmed to be popular, and involves a combination of Abdominoplasty and Liposuction to remove excess skin and fat from the patient's abdomen. Enquiries for this procedure have increased by 172 per cent since Christmas, WhatClinic.com confirmed.
It was revealed that Arm Lifts are second on the list in terms of growth, with Cosmetic Surgery providers seeing more than three times as many enquiries for the procedure during the last six months.
Conversely, Butt Implants have experienced the least growth in 2015 with enquiries up by only 15 per cent.

I'm wondering if your parents/guardians ever sent you to your room for punishment, or put you in timeout?
I used to get sent to my room as punishment, where I would had to think things out. Later on in my teens, I would run away to avoid going to my room, but always leave a note saying I would come back in a few days, after I had calmed down.
Today I avoid any conflict by removing myself from the situatian, and I'm wondering if it is because that's what I have been taught? What do you think? Could there be a connection between this type of punishment, and running away?
Most Helpful Girl
i do the same thing. in relationships, arguments, people annoying me.. pretty much any kind of conflict i always leave and then come back after i have thought about it. it has ruined so many relationships lol. i have never thought about this. i like this question lol00|00|0
But did you get punished as a child, in such a way that you can relate to the way you deal with problems now?
Yeah I used to run away a lot. Whether it was for a couple hours or a few days. I think I got it from my mom. Whenever her and my dad would fight she would leave and come back a day or two later. I think being sent to my room to think about whatever definitely played a role in how I think about things today.. the leaving part I'd say is more from my mom maybe but yeah I definitely see what you are saying

Today, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) issued the following response to the figures released by the U.S. Department of Labor showing 171,000 jobs were added in October, marking the 32nd consecutive month of private sector job growth. The overall unemployment rate increased slightly from 7.8 to 7.9 percent.
"The increase in private sector job shows that our economy is steadily recovering from the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression and that we are heading in the right direction. Despite this, African American unemployment increased from 13.6 to 14.3 percent and Hispanic unemployment slightly increased from 9.9 to 10 percent last month illustrating we have much work to do in creating jobs in all our communities.
"Targeted investments and accelerating public-sector job creation to re-hire teachers, firefighters, police officers and the long-term unemployed is needed to keep our economy moving forward. Republicans in Congress must work with Congressional Democrats and President Obama to reignite the American dream and put Americans back to work. Passing the American Jobs Act will get struggling Americans into good paying jobs and will strengthen the American economy for all.

Stayed at this hotel recently. The hotel and the room was clean and the King bed was comfortable. HOWEVER, we book a suite for the 4 of us and the pull out coach was the smallest (barely larger than a twin) that we have ever slept on and we have slept on many. In addition, there were no sheets in the bag to make up this bed and we were too exhausted to ask for it.
The hotel was off the highway but tucked far back and had we not our Ipad, it would have been tricky to find it late at night as there were lots of hotels tucked off this street. At least it was far away so it wasn't noisy.

Comments on Skins

As a newbie, it took me a while to figure out that the user's skin property is in the "Objects of type XWiki.XWikiUsers" section. Perhaps the "Changing the Skin for a user" section would be a bit clearer if this were made more explicit.
Yes, this should be introduced in the new Preferences section of the user profile.

The Best Gift
When was the last time I said "I love you" to my dad? Have I thanked him lately? How long has it been since I prayed for him? I don't know about you, but I personally ask myself these questions and sometimes I can't even answer them myself.

In a post on Breitbart.com, Wynton Hall reports the following:
"What we shared is a belief in changing the world from the bottom up, not from the top down," Obama told Google employees.
Google employees have been among Obama's top campaign contributors, donating $814,540 in 2008 and $801,770 for his reelection campaign.
The likes of Apple, Facebook and others have been racing to reporters to say that they were unaware of the existence of "Prism" and would never knowingly provide information to the U.S. Government without the proper legal documentation.
As with all others listening to Obama's mantra of "fundamental change", has Silicon Valley been duped into providing information by "trusting" the Obama administration?
If the shit doesn't hit the fan soon and if Silicon Valley doesn't start naming names, are we already hosed?

Heavy Bets Pay Off for Midwestern Refineries
Outlook Excerpt:
According to U.S. Energy Information Administration data, the 26 refineries in the Midwest PADD 2 region processed an average 3.6 million barrels/day, or mmb/d, of crude oil in 2016—up 300 thousand barrels/day, or mb/d, from 3.3 mmb/d in 2010. Over the same six-year period, local light shale production in the region shot up by over 1 mmb/d—mostly from the prolific Bakken formation in North Dakota. Yet Midwest refiners did little to take advantage of the sudden abundance of local production. Instead, increasing their appetite for imported heavy crude from Canada by nearly 1 mmb/d from 0.8 mmb/d in 2010 to 1.8 mmb/d in 2016.
