When Thierry Henry left Arsenal there were more than a few eyes looking across to Holland at this 20-year-old striker as a potential replacement. I watched him in Holland's 2-1 win over Portugal in the European Under-21 Championship last month and I found him a bit of an enigma. He is a big, strong, forceful player in the mould of a young Kevin Campbell - yet he just loves to come short for the ball. He almost moved into a midfield role rather than what you might expect, which would be playing high up, against his defender.
However, in Maceo Rigters (who ended up with the tournament's Golden Boot) he had a willing strike partner who could stretch defences over the top with his pace, meaning opponents were reluctant to come forward and play a high line. That allowed Babel to exploit the space between midfield and the opposition defence.
Babel has a very good awareness of what is around him when he does receive the ball, which is important because you need almost peripheral vision in this area of the pitch. Against Portugal this, allied with a good first touch and strength on the ball even when closed down, meant he was able to hold off his opponent. There was a nice balance to his game with regard to when to run at people and when to release a team-mate. His success at this led to Holland's first goal: Babel received the ball and immediately got his head up to play Rigters in with a perfectly weighted pass between the centre-back and full-back. Rigters was brought down and Babel showed he is not short on confidence by stepping up and scoring the penalty.
Babel not only combined well with his fellow centre-forward but also picked the ball up wide and deep, playing either winger in with passes good enough to take their full-back out of play. Although this is his preferred way of playing, when he did push forward to a more advanced position he proved a willing runner, particularly into channels, and pulled away for the diagonal ball extremely well. One or two parts of his game made me realise why he likes to play the way he does: his hold-up play and battling qualities in the air fell a little short of what I imagined for someone of his build and strength.
Scouted by Ajax at the age of 11, he has obviously benefited by his time at the club since then. He became Holland's youngest scorer for 68 years with a goal on his full international debut, against Romania in 2005, and scored twice on the way to the last eight of the Under-20 World Cup the same year. This is a player born to play in the modern game, with all the physical attributes needed at the highest level. But the difference from players of a similar physical development at such a young age is that mentally he will not be found wanting, which can happen all too often.
Babel would be no direct replacement for Henry; if he were to join Arsenal, this season or next, I could see him in a Dennis Bergkamp-type role, dropping off a bit. He has a similar stature to Bergkamp. He needs to play alongside someone with pace, who will frighten the opposition defence so that they do not step up; this will create a hole for him to play in.

I love my Mama. And she works hard. Really hard. Not only is she the best Mom ever (sorry ladies and gents but it's just the way it is), but she's also a great lady.
She's embarrassed now that I've gushed about her on the world-wide-web…
So on Mother's Day, wouldn't it be nice to treat not just my Mama, but your own? I've put together a simple little Mother's Day Brunch Menu with a couple of my Baking Vintage favorite recipes. Enjoy with your Mama — make her brunch, buy her flowers — make her day.
To Drink: Champagne and Grapefruit Punch – if Mom doesn't like bubbly, you could substitute ginger ale for the Champagne
To Start: Fruit Salad — one of the best combinations I've ever had has pineapple, mango, blueberries, oranges and grapefruit but feel free to use Mom's favorite fruits in your salad — it's all about her today after all.
For the Main: Buttermilk Waffles with Maple Syrup and Bacon

Tigers defense claims second scrimmage
Sun, 17 Aug 2014 02:50:06 GMT — The second fall scrimmage of the Missouri Tiger Football team's 2014 training camp was claimed by the offense Saturday morning inside the Dan Devine Pavilion. Rain in the mid-Missouri area forced the scrimmage indoors, and in the controlled situational scrimmage, the offense earned the coveted black jerseys by an 11-9 score, evening the scrimmages at one-apiece between the offense and defense.
The defense had the upper hand most of the day, but the offense came alive late, scoring seven touchdowns, with five coming in redzone drives and two more from two-minute drives. Six of the seven touchdowns overall came against the second and third-string defensive units.
"I thought we had a lot of good work today," said Head Coach Gary Pinkel. "We've got a lot of work to do, we're doing a lot of good things, but to get as efficient and consistent as we can, we've got a lot of work to do. Two weeks from today, we're kicking it off. Overall, we came through healthy, which is good, but the clock is ticking down," he said.
Junior TB Russell Hansbrough (9 rushes Saturday for 59 yards and two TDs) had a pair of rushing touchdowns for the #1 offense against the #2 defense, the first from 3 yards out to cap a drive which started on the defense's 20-yardline. His second score was from 7 yards out, and finished a successful two-minute drill on a 60-yard scoring drive. On that series, QB Maty Mauk converted a 4th and 10 from the 24-yardline when he found WR Bud Sasser down the left sideline for a gain of 17 yards.

Strong dynamics constitutes one of many pillars of the traditional version of particle interactions, and it bills for the majority of the obvious topic within the universe made by way of traditional protons and neutrons. it's consequently a good posed query to invite if the remainder of the universe might be defined when it comes to new hugely average 4-dimensional strongly coupled theories. the most aim of this lecture-based primer is to supply a coherent evaluation of ways new powerful dynamics may be hired to handle the appropriate demanding situations in particle physics and cosmology from composite Higgs dynamics to darkish subject and inflation. we are going to first introduce the subject of dynamical breaking of the electroweak symmetry often referred to as technicolor. the data of the part diagram of strongly coupled theories performs a basic position while attempting to build achievable extensions of the normal version. consequently we current the cutting-edge of the section diagram for gauge theories as functionality of the variety of shades, flavors, subject illustration and gauge staff. contemporary extensions of the normal version that includes minimum technicolor theories are then brought as suitable examples. We eventually express how technicolor or mostly new strongly coupled theories may end up in normal applicants of composite darkish topic and inflation.

It wasn't easy and times were tough. Walker never went to college when he was younger, but he was a hard worker. He was a bartender with a small but busy local bar which he eventually got a loan to buy when the owner wanted to retire to nurse his sick mother with dementia. The bar life wasn't what he would have chosen his daughter to be raised in, but with his parents retired and now miles away in sunny Miami, he had to do the best with what he had. Reecy was, without a shadow of a doubt, a tom boy. She liked all this messy, dirty and rough. She only ever really had friends who were boys, and would rough and tumble with the best of them. Their house was always overrun with boys dressed like cops, robbers, Ninja Turtles, Transformers, cowboys... you name it. Reecy was a boisterous kid, loud and always on the go. She had a load of friends, was involved in as many sports as she wanted, but as a stark contrast, also had an amazing singing talent.
Walker didn't know where that came from, but he wanted to nurture it, and did. She was in singing lessons from a young age and took music right through school. He bought her first guitar for her at four and she played ever since. Father and daughter we incredibly close, really only having each other for family nearby. Walker worked hard and built the bar up to a cushy little local waterhole and Reecy went through school happily enough, excelling most in sports and music. It was when Reecy grew up a little and was happily settled in school that Walker took the long leap of faith and decided to go to Med School to become a doctor, though kept ownership of the bar as a nest egg. Reecy's ambition was always to become a mechanic, though, and it wasn't something Walker really tried to sway her from but did tell her to leave her options open. She dated on and off, but always held boys up against how great a guy her dad was and tired of them easily. She had standards and wouldn't let them slip for any random dick. She lost her virginity to her best friend, Winston Slater, who she called Winnie, a sweet bi kid who wanted to be a writer. They had been friends right through their childhood and still best friends to this day, and Walker is very close to Winston's parents.
Walker has now well and truly finished Med School and is now a partner with Karla Jameson at a general medical practice in White Plains. Although Walker often see patients in the hospital, he prefers general practice because nursing his partner through cancer and subsequently losing him to it left him feeling like hospital work might be too high-paced for him as a later qualifying doctor. Walker has never had another relationship since losing Zac, and his love never died with him. He has been pretty convinced that he had his chance and can't imagine anyone taking Zac's place. He is happy and content with his life, adoring every minute of his daughter's success and being incredibly proud of the fact she just scored the lead role of Velma Kelly in Chicago on Broadway. There hasn't been a single minute since Reecy's birth that he hasn't loved being a father, and he feels that is 100% fulfilling for him.

What is the clipboard. I keep seeing things that say clip to clipboard if you want to keep a note. how do i do that
and then right clicking and selecting "copy" you have saved to the clipboard. You can then "place" that text somewhere else, even in another program such as notepad etc
Or right click a picture or web address like this
click here
and select copy and then "paste" it where you want.
If you also press CTRL and PRTSC (print screen) that take a whole copy of for ex this page to the clipboard. Open a program such as wordpad or paint and select "edit" and "paste special" from the toolbar at the top and that will place this image on the screen in that program... try it :)

Pregnancy is a major thing that could happen to any women. Actually, it is the most awaited event of a woman to happen in her life; for it is the essence of being in her state. Though it is much anticipated, getting pregnant requires a lot of responsibilities and of course, a lot of preparations. In this article, you will find the basic things needed on how does a woman get pregnant. It also includes the ways on achieving pregnancy and will answer your question in mind; how do I get pregnant? Sexual Intercourse. This is the most common and easiest way needed to be done in getting pregnant. Almost all women achieved pregnancy this way. The process involves the insertion of male genitalia to the female; after which, ejaculation can be achieved. The release of semen, which contains the sperms, heralds the start of fertilization; most especially, if there is a mature egg waiting in the fallopian tube of a woman. Thus, fertilization will occur and getting pregnant is inevitable. Artificial Insemination. How do I get pregnant if we are having fertility problems? Basically, this method always directed to a couple with problems such as erectile dysfunction and much more. It involves the manual insertion of semen into the female reproductive system. The procedure bypasses the natural form of coitus to ensure that the sperm will meet the mature ovum. Getting pregnant is possible with this method which boast additional 25% success rate if joined with the natural way of conception. In-Vitro Fertilization. If you say that this method is a futuristic way of getting pregnant. Well, it somewhat does. In this technique, the mature egg and sperm are fertilized outside the female body. Then the fertilized ovum will be injected to the uterus of the mother and sometimes to other female who is capable of getting pregnant. For some ordinary folks, this is a bizarre way of answering the query on how do I got pregnant. So how do I get pregnant? Basically, the above are the ways in achieving pregnancy. Each of it offering its own set of advantages and disadvantages. It is up to you, together with your partner, and your fertility doctor to discuss which way is suited for you. Whatever the approach is considered, one must remember that pregnancy must be given utmost importance; because getting pregnant is not an easy task and it involves the mutual feeling of the couple towards each other.

Al Qaeda's use of advanced encryption technology dates to 2007, when the Global Islamic Media Front released the Asrar al-Mujahedeen, or so-called "Mujahedeen Secrets," software. An updated version, Mujahedeen Secrets 2, was released in January 2008, and has been revised at least twice, most recently in May 2012, analysts said. The program was popularized in the first issue of Inspire, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's quarterly online magazine, in a July 2010 post entitled "How to Use Asrar al-Mujahedeen: Sending and Receiving Encrypted Messages."Since then, each issue of Inspire has offered a how-to section on encrypting communications, recommending MS2 as the main encryption tool. All the way back in February, 2001, USA Today reported [27] that al-Qaeda and other groups have been using "uncrackable encryption" since the mid-1990s; the 2001 article stated: "encryption has become the everyday tool of Muslim extremists in Afghanistan, Albania, Britain, Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Syria, the USA, the West Bank and Gaza and Yemen, U.S. officials say." As has long been clear, "the terrorists" did not need Snowden reporting to know that the U.S. and its partners are doing everything possible to monitor their communications. It is certainly possible that some extremists, like ordinary users all over the world, [28] are more conscious now than before about the need to secure their communications--just as some extremists became aware of interrogation techniques they may face if detained by virtue of reporting on American torture (which is why torture advocates argued [29] that such reporting also helped terrorists). But the key revelation of the Snowden reporting is that the surveillance system built in secret by the NSA and its partners is directed at hundreds of millions of ordinary people [30] and entire populations [31] rather than "the terrorists." Responding to one of the criticisms about the glaring flaws in its report (the obvious absence of causation evidence), Recorded Future admits [32] that "in 2007 Al-Qaeda (AQ) had one encryption product (Asrar) for one platform (PC) which has since been periodically updated (e.g. in 2008)." They claim there was a "significant uptick" after the Snowden reporting but still offer no evidence of a causal connection nor any explanation as to what "the terrorists" learned from those reports that could help them better safeguard their communications or that would provide added motivation to shield those communications. Critically, even if one wanted to accept Recorded Future's timeline as true, there are all sorts of plausible reasons other than Snowden revelations why these groups would have been motivated to develop new encryption protections. One obvious impetus is the August 2013 government boasting to McClatchy [33] (and The Daily Beast [34]) that the State Department ordered the closing of 21 embassies because of what it learned from an intercepted "conference call" among Al Qaeda leaders:
An official who'd been briefed on the matter in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital, told McClatchy that the embassy closings and travel advisory were the result of an intercepted communication between Nasir al-Wuhayshi, the head of the Yemen-based Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, and al Qaida leader Ayman al Zawahiri in which Zawahiri gave "clear orders" to al-Wuhaysi, who was recently named al Qaida's general manager, to carry out an attack.As The Daily Beast put it: "Al-Qaeda leaders had assumed the conference calls, which give Zawahiri the ability to manage his organization from a remote location, were secure. But leaks about the original intercepts have likely exposed the operation that allowed the U.S. intelligence community to listen in on the al-Qaeda board meetings." It does the U.S. government no good to attribute these new encryption efforts to leaks from the U.S. government itself. Recorded Future thus ignores that possibility altogether and suggests--with absolutely no evidence--that it was due to Snowden revelations. They do so even though The New York Times reported [35] a month after the "conference call" leak that "senior officials have made a startling finding: the impact of a leaked terrorist plot by Al Qaeda in August has caused more immediate damage to American counterterrorism efforts than the thousands of classified documents disclosed by Edward Snowden." The NYT added: "The drop in message traffic after the communication intercepts contrasts with what analysts describe as a far more muted impact on counterterrorism efforts from the disclosures by Mr. Snowden of the broad capabilities of N.S.A. surveillance programs." Then there's the completely unproven yet vital assumption that this series of events--even if they happened this way--actually helped the terrorists evade monitoring. Bruce Schneier, the security expert quoted at the end of the NPR report, thinks exactly the opposite is true. He notes numerous journalists, in the wake of the report, asked him "how this will adversely affect US intelligence efforts," and he explained: [36]
I think the reverse is true. I think this will help US intelligence efforts. Cryptography is hard, and the odds that a home-brew encryption product is better than a well-studied open-source tool is slight. Last fall, Matt Blaze said to me that he thought that the Snowden documents will usher in a new dark age of cryptography, as people abandon good algorithms and software for snake oil [37] of their own devising. My guess is that this an example of that.Chris Soghoian, technologist for the ACLU (whose lawyers represent Snowden) noted that these types of stories have been emerging long before Snowden reporting, telling The Intercept: "every few years, a think tank or security company puts out a report on the use of bespoke encryption software by terrorists, and then media eats it up." In the wake of such criticism, Recorded Future issued a supplement to its report, [38] this time claiming that the terrorists "are not using home-brew crypto algorithms" but rather "off the shelf" methods of cryptography. But like Schneier, Soghoian suggested that the developments claimed by Recorded Future would make it easier, not harder, for the U.S. government to monitor the communications of extremists:
If we assume that these programs are developed and distributed by jihadist sympathizers, and not an intelligence service, then the fact that they continue to develop new encryption tools and advocate their use is only further evidence that they don't really know what they're doing. Using terrorist-specific encryption tools will only attract the attention of intelligence agencies. If smart terrorists are using encryption, they're likely using tools like Tor and PGP, the same tools used by government agencies, corporations, journalists, activists and security experts.Then there are the bizarre implications from embracing the claims of the Recorded Future report. For years, both privacy advocates and experts in cryptography have published guides [39] for how internet users can protect the privacy of their online activities [40] using encryption programs such as PGP email [41] and Tor. Recorded Future claims that terrorist groups are using "open source" and "off the shelf" encryption to shield their communications: does that mean that anyone who publishes information on encryption is guilty of helping the terrorists? In sum, Recorded Future is a CIA-dependent company devoted to spreading pro-government propaganda, no matter how absurd. Among its lowlights is its boasting of how it monitored media coverage of Occupy Wall Street, [42] whereby it claimed to detect Iran's "growing influence" over that coverage: "We recently Tweeted a shared link showing coverage and gaining online momentum for the Occupy Wall Street movement. When we look more carefully at influencers in this discussion using our Influencer Map, we find that Iran Press TV is the second largest influencer after the US Media!" None of these serious doubts, fallacies, or questions about this company and its "report" were even alluded to by Temple-Raston in her NPR story, beyond a cursory and very limited Schneier quote tacked onto the end. It's hardly surprising that these kinds of firms, linked to and dependent on the largesse of the U.S. intelligence community, produce pro-government tripe of this sort. That's their function. It's the job of media outlets to scrutinize these claims, not mindlessly repeat and then glorify them as NPR did here. Nadine Chalak contributed additional reporting to this article.

Northern Arizona may see another snow storm this season
PHOENIX — Northern Arizonans who thought they were in the clear when it came to snow this season may be in for yet another round of the white stuff.
The National Weather Service said more than a half-inch of snow fell in the Flagstaff area on Tuesday.
But the weather service also said its computers are predicting another possible storm in the coming days.
"The computers are showing about a week and a half out there could be another one of these low (pressure fronts) dropping down," David Vonderheide, a hydrometeorological technician with the weather service, said.
"It might be more up toward Utah, but it's something to keep an eye on."
Though snow in Arizona this late in the year is not unheard of, it is rare.
"It's unusual to get it in May and June, but it has happened in the past," Vonderheide said.
Arizona Snowbowl, a ski resort located north of Flagstaff, stayed open until May 7 this year. It was the first time the resort received enough snow to stay open until May.
As of April, the resort had received 328 inches — more than 27 feet — of the white stuff.

Spring Poles for Pit Bulls and Bully Breeds
A great way to provide your pit bull, or bully breed dog with adequate exercise day-to-day is to use a spring pole. A spring pole is a mechanism attached to a toy, or any object that your dog loves to grab with their mouth, assembled in a way that a dog can grab and hold the object and at the same time tug while the spring provides resistance. Not only does a spring pole provide endless exercise for your dog, but it is a device in which the dog will be able to use at their own leisure without your interaction. This can free you up to take care of other doggie activities, such as cleaning and bathing your other dogs, should you have any.
There is a lot of bad information floating around about the use of spring poles for pit bulls and bully breed dogs. Let's go over a few of the most common misunderstandings:
Some people think that they are dangerous, and that their dog might get hurt.
Your dog shouldn't get hurt using a spring pole if you design, and use it properly. Some people will tend to raise the height of the spring pole to provide more of a challenge for their dog. However, this also increases the risk of your dog falling from an unsafe height, causing an injury. Keep your spring pole at a safe level, where your dog can utilize it and still keep it's hind legs on the ground. This will prevent injuries, and costly trips to the vet.
Aren't Spring poles just for Pit Bulls and Bully Breeds?
Not at all... While pit bulls and bully breeds do enjoy spring poles because of their instinct to grab and hold onto objects, many dogs have the same instincts and love to play tug of war with toys. A spring pole can provide any size dog with adequate exercise in a short period of time. Every one doesn't have a huge backyard for their dog to run around in. Even though a spring pole shouldn't be used as an only source of daily exercise for your dog, supplementing a spring pole with a daily walks will definitely keep your dog in top shape.
Will the spring pole make my dog aggressive?
Absolutely not. Bad owners make dogs aggressive, not toys and exercise equipment. Raising your pit bull or bully breed dog from birth with love and attention, will ensure that your dog will never be aggressive towards people and other animals. Many people neglect and care poorly for their dogs, and want to blame the breed for their shortcomings.
How to Build Spring Poles for Pit Bulls and Bully Breeds
There is no one way to design a spring pole. They can be built with a few 2 x 4's, a couple springs, a rope, and a toy, for under $50. Then there are other, more complicated designs that costs a few hundred dollars. The final blueprint and design of your spring pole is up to you at the end of the day. Now matter how much you spend, they will ultimately accomplish the same goal, which is to provide adequate exercise for your pit bull or bully breed dog.

This past Thursday night my cute friend Taylor hosted a fun scarf exchange and tacky sweater party for some girls from church. Despite getting stuck at work later than anticipated and getting slightly lost on my way, the night was a success! Lots of yummy food, fun games, and we all got to take home a cute new scarf.
Ellen and I were twins – keeping it super classy in our Walmart turtlenecks!
Friday night was round two and we got all fancied up to go to Austin's work Christmas party. The party was at the new Omni hotel in downtown Dallas, and we had a great time!
Will you please look at Austin's crazy hand!? In a ton of our wedding pictures he is doing something similar. I'm not going to get on my soapbox about our wedding photographer and how he probably should have noticed that, BUT isn't that the weirdest thing you've ever seen? His hand just totally spazzes when a camera comes out apparently.
We enjoyed tons of appetizers and planned how we are going to run a half marathon with these two fun friends, Chris & Spencer. Stay tuned for that. I hope it happens!
Saturday night was our Sunday School party. It was also the night that JOHNNY FOOTBALL WON THE HIESMAN! So much excitement in our house about that! Luckily we had a great set up to see Johnny win and give his awesome speech at the party.
Watching and waiting…
We had delicious food, a fun gift exchange, and a great time visiting with friends. Austin and I scored a Campisi's gift card and a new card game in our dirty Santa game. We LOVE card games, so we are excited to try this one sometime very soon.
Three parties in three days made for a fun weekend. I love this time of year!

The first Russian language issue of Signal - September 1942
The story of identifying Franz Krieger's wartime album, documented on the New York Times website, has been an intriguing one and it reminds me of a rather good book i purchased a few years ago detailing in part the work of German Wehrmacht's 'Propaganda Kompanions' (PK).
Sadly the NY Times articles do not go into that much detail about Krieger's working history or who he was shooting images for, but it is most likely that his photojournalism talents were put to work for Signal, a German military magazine that was published between 1940-45 and reached a circulation of 2.5 million by 1943. It was the biggest selling magazine in Europe until 1945 and was translated into over 20 languages.
Signal was developed out of the Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung as magazine that promoted Germany as Europe's benefactor and protector. Photography was the main vehicle of its propaganda intentions. It used the human interest story and the photo essay to great effect making it a very popular read across Europe as it reported the string of victories during the early war years. Even the British press were forced to use Signal photographs as no British made images were available. Amazingly Signal had no connections or loyalty to Goebbels propaganda ministry, it was totally under the control of the German Army. There were no civilian war correspondents and notions of journalistic independence did not apply under the command of the Wehrmacht. Photojournalism was seen to be important however, and the Germans used it to great affect.
By comparison, the British were ill-prepared and complacent about propaganda. Even during the war years, experienced photographers like Bert Hardy of the Picture Post were made to take British Army photographer courses. The instructors were often far less experienced than the students and the equipment was virtually antique, Hardy decided to use his own Leicas and did so until they broke. The army refused to have them repaired. Eventually the British set up their own magazine called Parade in 1940 but with a readership of just 100,000 it was never in a position to be a serious competitor with Signal.
The German approach was far different. The Propaganda Kompanions numbered 12,000 strong at one point. A PK was a soldier first and a photographer second. One photograph even shows a PK's Leicas next to a his Luger. Signal's editors actually staked the journalistic authenticity of Signal on the fact that " The photographers are not press photographers in the accepted sense of the word. They are like their comrades, soldiers of fighting units and at the same time soldier war correspondents" As soldiers these correspondents had to follow orders and fight. The portraits of the Russian soldiers (some of them Jewish) captured on the Eastern front may have been partly down to one order of the day to PKs during operation Barbarossa to produce pictures that show clear racial contrasts between the German and Soviet soldiers.
As the war turned against Germany, so did Signal's fortunes. The long retreat in Russia and the lack of new victories in the west forced the magazine in a world of fantasy and make believe. Divisions broke out between the increasingly controlling Propaganda ministry and the Wehrmacht high command. Eventually the magazine resorted to show business articles and old victory stories recycled into new news as the good news ran out.

Civil Asset Forfeiture: Got Property? Not Anymore.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions sent chills down the spines of liberty-minded Americans on Wednesday, when he issued a directive on civil asset forfeiture that encourages government seizure of your property, even if you haven't been proven guilty of, or even charged with a crime.
Sessions has championed no shortage of authoritarian-in-nature policies since assuming the role of Attorney General. With his revival of the War on Drugs, it was no surprise that the policy of civil asset forfeiture would soon follow.
Civil asset forfeiture is the process by which the government seizes an asset (e.g. car, truck, or a house) that they believe to be tied to illegal activities. It is most commonly applied in instances of drug trafficking or terrorism, but is not limited to.
The process begins with the government seizing the asset, then issuing the owner a notice of seizure. Should the owner want to attempt to recoup the asset, he or she must file a claim with the seizing agency. The government attorney will then review the claim and determine whether a civil complaint should be filed. The owner then must file a judicial claim to the asset and deny the allegations in the government's complaint. Then, after all those steps have been followed (which can take six months or longer), the case, FINALLY, can be litigated in court.
Found innocent? No charges brought? You still might not get your property back. As David French in the National Review said, "It's a gigantic law-enforcement scam."
Civil asset forfeiture violates due process of law
The Fifth Amendment states, "No person shall be…deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
The asset is seized before the government has presented evidence against the owner. Moreover, because civil asset forfeiture involves a civil trial, a criminal conviction is unnecessary for the government's decision to seize the property to be upheld. The burden of proof is much lower in civil trials than in criminal trials. Rather than using the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard, the civil standard is to use a "preponderance of the evidence" (essentially 'more likely than not' guilty).
The fifth amendment is not the only constitutional amendment that civil asset forfeiture typically violates. In a 1996 dissenting opinion, Justice John Paul Stevens argued that civil asset forfeiture often violates the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of excessive fines. That is because the government essentially has authority to seize any asset with any connection to an alleged crime. The case, United States v. Ursery, involved a Michigan man who allegedly grew marijuana near his house. Not in his house. Near it.
However, when the State discovered marijuana stems, seeds, and a grow light inside the house, it seized control of the house for its facilitation of the alleged crime. Stevens, the lone dissenter, cited Austin v. United States, which held that asset forfeiture could be considered an excessive fine. As "there is no evidence that the house had been purchased with the proceeds of unlawful activity, and the house itself was surely not contraband," the seizure of the house was an excessive fine for the alleged crime.
Even if you reject the claims of unconstitutionality, policy need not be illegal to be foolish
American's confidence in institutions is near an all-time low. There is no debating that the relationship between law enforcement and the community is tumultuous. Most importantly, 84% of Americans oppose civil asset forfeiture, according to a Cato Institute/YouGov survey. Only herpes, Nickelback, the BRCA, and Congress have approval ratings that low. Instead of focusing on desperately needed criminal justice reform, Sessions has decided to focus on one of the most unpopular policies in recent memory.
Elected leaders often assume they have a mandate to impose whatever sort of legislation they see fit. If members of Congress continue to propose legislation that the vast majority of Americans feel great apathy towards, eventually they will be voted out of office. Civil asset forfeiture is a deeply unpopular policy that infringes upon the inherent liberties that come with being an American and those outlined in the Constitution, and Republicans – specifically Jeff Sessions and the Trump Administration – would be wise to abandon it before it undermines their ability to represent the American people.

Cultivating Happiness
Happiness Strategy # 1: Don't Worry, Choose Happy
The first step is to make a conscious choice to boost your happiness.
In short, we may be born with a happiness "set point," as Lykken calls it but the good news is that we are not stuck there. Happiness also depends on how we manage our emotions and our relationships with others. Jon Haidt, author of The Happiness Hypothesis, teaches positive psychology. He actually assigns his students to make themselves happier during the semester. "They have to say exactly what technique they will use," says Haidt, a professor at the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville. "They may choose to be more forgiving or more grateful. They may learn to identify negative thoughts so they can challenge them. For example, when someone crosses you, in your mind you build a case against that person, but that's very damaging to relationships. So they may learn to shut up their inner lawyer and stop building these cases against people."
Once you've made the decision to be happier you can choose strategies for achieving happiness. Psychologists who study happiness tend to agree on ones like these.
Happiness Strategy #2: Cultivate Gratitude
In his book, Authentic Happiness, University of Pennsylvania psychologist Martin Seligman encourages readers to perform a daily "gratitude exercise." It involves listing a few things that make them grateful. This shifts people away from bitterness and despair, he says, and promotes happiness. When you are able to find the gratitude in the smallest things big shifts start to happen. Don't believe me? Try coming up with 5 gratefuls everyday.
Happiness Strategy #3: Remember, Money Can't Buy Happiness
Research shows that once income climbs above the poverty level, more money brings very little extra happiness. Yet, "we keep assuming that because things aren't bringing us happiness, they're the wrong things, rather than recognizing that the pursuit itself is futile," writes Daniel Gilbert in his book, Stumbling on Happiness. "Regardless of what we achieve in the pursuit of stuff, it's never going to bring about an enduring state of happiness." Things might provide a temporary blip of short term euphoria but it's not one that will last for the long haul.
Happiness Strategy #4: Foster Friendship
There are few better antidotes to unhappiness than close friendships with people who care about you, says David G. Myers, author of The Pursuit of Happiness. One Australian study found that people over 70 who had the strongest network of friends lived much longer.
"Sadly, our increasingly individualistic society suffers from impoverished social connections, which some psychologists believe is a cause of today's epidemic levels of depression," Myers writes. "The social ties that bind also provide support in difficult times."
Happiness Strategy #5: Engage in Meaningful Activities
People are seldom happier, says psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, than when they're in the "flow." This is a state in which your mind becomes thoroughly absorbed in a meaningful task that challenges your abilities. Yet, he has found that the most common leisure time activity — watching TV — produces some of the lowest levels of happiness.
To get more out of life, we need to put more into it, says Csikszentmihalyi. "Active leisure that helps a person grow does not come easily," he writes in Finding Flow. "Each of the flow-producing activities requires an initial investment of attention before it begins to be enjoyable."
So it turns out that happiness can be a matter of choice — not just luck. Some people are lucky enough to possess genes that foster happiness. However, certain thought patterns and interpersonal skills definitely help people become an "epicure of experience," says David Lykken, whose name, in Norwegian, means "the happiness." (From Web MD)
So, how are you going to take this information and transfer it into your own life?
Be Happy,
Get your engines moving!
Digestive health can be easily changed with simple lifestyle adjustments.
Do you have constipation, gas, bloating, diarrhea or heartburn?
If you answered yes to any of the above mentioned troubles there are simple ways to start changing how you are feeling.
15 Simple Steps:
1. More fruit and vegetables, less red meat.
2. More whole foods, less processed foods.
3. Drink freshly squeezed lemons in spring or filtered water. This is alkalizing and helps to clean the stomach of any residual debris.
4. Do not ignore the urge to have a bowel movement. Listen to your body.
5. Eat more fiber (#1)
6. Skip the NSAID's/non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs. Regular use of these drugs can cause peptic ulcers in the digestive tract.
7. Be careful of use and overuse of other drugs that create digestive problems. Too many antibiotics can strip your gut of good bacteria and you can end up with c-difficile.
8. Don't overeat.
9. Use essential oils to promote better digestion.
10. Drink your liquids before and after meals, not during.
11. Take your time and really chew-chew-chew. Your body can use energy for other things if you chew your food instead of relying on acid and enzymes.
12. Eat slower so you do not swallow a lot of air while you eat.
13. Do all of the above and skip the laxatives, as your body becomes reliant on them and they are habit forming.
14. Smoking and drinking can cause ulcers and heartburn.
15. Don't be afraid to enlist the help of a specialist (gastroenterologist). You may want to get a referral from a friend or relative. Remember that they are there to diagnose and treat, prevention lies in your hands.

I like to move it! move it!
You need to exercise. I need to exercise. I moved ahead to write this blog because I struggle with myself when I am working on too many exciting things it's difficult to fit in time for exercise and fitness. The problem is, once you quit moving so do our endorphins and it gets a little depressing.
Here are a few tips to get you moving:
#1 Make time…no matter how busy…make the time!
We think we don't have time but actually we do. I have found in my experience, the more time I make to move my body the more time I have in the day. Funny how that works! I think it is because I have more energy and I am sure that endorphins have something to do with it as well. The truth is, the more you move, the more active you become!
#2 Find something you love to do!
You need to do something you love. It doesn't really matter what it is as long as you do it. I love to strength train and I love to walk. I know it sounds funny, but I get a thrill being able to lift those weights and I love how it makes me look.
You may love running. I have not learned to love it and I know it isn't that easy I just don't enjoy it. It is very good for you. Walking may be your thing! There is nothing like getting out and getting a little fresh air and moving your limbs. I like walking in my neighborhood where I can wave at the neighbors and feel connected which is like getting a double whammy of healthy!
#3 Pair it with something you love!
You can even do things you don't love to do. However, these are the hardest. That is why you need to pair it up with something you do love to do. I know some of you who are reading this know what I mean. The thing that I am trying to say, is that if you choose something you don't like to do and have a higher purpose you reach new heights of satisfaction you would never have known otherwise.
Experiment and find what is right for you. Some people like to play. If that is you then join a basketball team or perhaps a volleyball team. Sometimes if you pair it with being social then it doesn't feel like exercise. Dance is exercise too! Pair it with romance!
#4 Clarify what you want to achieve
Do you want to lose weight, de-stress, build strength, improve your golf game, rebuild your knees? If you need to get to the grocery store, you have 3 choices, walk, ride your bike or drive. If you want to rebuild your knees, you are not going to pick lunges well that just doesn't make sense. If you can't figure it out, don't be afraid to hire a professional trainer. They have been taught to know the things that you do not. They know what you can do that will best achieve your goals. You can hire them for one visit to make a plan or you can hire them for a few to show you how or long term to build on your success.
#5 Make an appointment with yourself for exercise
Schedule it into your day. The reason I say this is because, if you show up you will do it.
What's your favorite type of exercise? Please share….

Reading Food Labels 101
If it has a label then don't eat it! I won't stop there but it is about that simple. Processed foods are not whole foods. The longer the list of ingredients, the further you should stay away.
These are some of the words that should send you running:
Artificial (anything)
High fructose corn syrup
Artificial sweeteners
Ammonium sulfate
Carminic acid (crushed bug parts)
Sodium benzoate
Ammonium sulfate (fertilizer)
Refined grains
Shellac (more bug parts)
Castoreum (beaver anal glands)
Gum base (from sheep)
L-cystine (hair or duck feathers)
Sugar (there are about 400 different names for sugar…that is a whole other blog!)
Bleached white flour
Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil / Hydrogenated Soybean Oil
Things you should eat:
Almost anything in the produce section! Whole Foods!

Well I had two pairs of Authenitcs, One was Black with Gothic grape stitching and laces. The others were just black. My Gothic grape ones I skated for a month and already had needed a new pair or cover it with shoe goo. My others for casual wear were really good. There nice and stylish and can look good with almost anything....But It was pure black, and i could see stains so easily. And I only wore then inside places. No lie I would ride to a mall in my old shoes then change them once i get inside...Weird fetish but still.... This shoe is still worth its price.... I just don't recommend it for skating purposes unless its long-boarding or cruising.

Please note, and socialize accordingly, that I've lost trust with the Vans brand as a result of the diminishing product quality along with inflexible customer service opportunities. While I agree and believe it is fair to establish a baseline warranty period, it is discouraging to know there was not much consideration at all into my situation. To be frank, I'm not quite sure you opened the images but solely acknowledged >6 months since the order date and moved on. Had your team seen and evaluated the pictures, I would hope that your shock would match what mine has been for months now. Once a week, 6-8 hours per day, for ~9 months = +/- 300 walking hours. That's TWELVE DAYS. I could not walk in your shoes for 12 days without them falling a part. I have leftover pizza that has lasted longer. To define a shoe return/support policy by "6 months" duration without knowing usage by mileage or hours walked is laughable.I also work in a product + service oriented field and know policy and guidelines are established for a reason, so I digress. I do hope you are able to route the quality concerns to your quality control team in hopes to prevent issues in the future.

I live in sandals in the summer but needed something sturdier for walking up cobblestone paths on Santorini. Someone told me about Vans and I bought a pair. They are the most comfortable and useful shoes I have ever owned. I plan to buy more in other colors when I get home.

Landfill Communities Fund
Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council Landfill Communities Fund
The Landfill Communities Fund Programme is a partnership between Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council and Ulster Wildlife Trust (Ulster Wildlife).
Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council as a Landfill Operator works in partnership with Ulster Wildlife through the LCF to support projects which improve the lives of and create significant benefits for communities living near landfill sites.
Eligible Projects
Proposed projects must fall within one of the following ENTRUST Object categories to receive funding.
OBJECT A – The reclamation, remediation or restoration of land which cannot currently be used
The work must be on a single site where there was once something that took place that now stops it being used. The site may have been contaminated in some way and any person who contaminated the land or knowingly permitted the contamination must not benefit from the project. LCF monies must not be used to fulfil any statutory duties.
OBJECT B – The reduction of pollution
You must be able to demonstrate that the project activity which is intended to mitigate, prevent or reduce pollution, is linked to a ceased activity. Opposed to Object A which concentrates on relaiming or remediating land, Object B focuses on reducing or mitigating the pollution itself. Any person who polluted the land or knowingly permitted the pollution must not benefit. LCF monies must not be used to fulfil any statutory duties.
OBJECT D – Public Parks and Amenities
Projects which provide, maintain or improve a public park or other public amenity in the vicinity of a landfill site. The focus must be to undertake direct physical works on a park/amenity.
OBJECT DA – Conservation of Biodiversity
Projects which promote biodiversity through the provision, conservation, restoration or enhancement of a natural habitat: or the maintenance or recovery of a species in its natural habitat. Please note that projects should demonstrate links to local or national Biodiversity Action Plans (BAPs).
OBJECT E - Restoration of religious buildings or buildings of architectural or historical interest
The primary intent of this object is to maintain, repair or restore a place of worship: or a building or structure that must have listed status or equivalent where the general public can access the building. This object does not allow works to private residences.
Grant Amounts
A maximum grant of £30,000 will be allocated to individual community projects. The minimum eligibility for indiviual projects is £5,000. Larger awards may be made to Public Authority led projects, this will be with the agreement of Council.
Applicants must be from within the Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council area.
To be eligible for grant-aid, you will have to show that your organisation is a bona fide organisation that is well run and that it has a properly adopted "Governing Document" such as a constitution or memorandum and articles of association which clearly show that it is non-profit making and taking. Evidence that a constitution has been formally adopted must be supplied.
All projects must be located within 10 miles of a registered landfill site as the crow files. (Please click on the attached link to view the map - MAP ) Priority will be given to projects closer to the landfill site but all eligible projects within this radius will be considered. Full guidance notes and an expression of interest form may be found on our online hub. (Click here to access)
Expression of Interest Forms must be submitted by 12 noon on Friday 20th January 2017 to help us assess if your project meets the criteria required before you are invited to complete a full application. Applicants will be notified of the decision in due course.

Leaders, Individuals, and Kings
There is little descriptive adequacy in terms which gloss and evaluate how individual minds work. Leadership, for the most part, is one of them. I worry about those that see leadership as a trait of an individual mind and not (if at all leadership is explicative of something) as a communal accomplishment organized in a specific set of circumstances (social, political, economic, etc.). Even after postmodern and or critical pirouettes are exercised on the concept I doubt it can be rendered useful in an environment in which individualism and abstract ideas reign. For the sensitivity of the powerful giving up on traditional understandings of leadership (as a quality of individual minds) is not worthwhile for it diminishes the worth of individual acts and thus injures their self-perception. A perception which is in need of ideal abstract values to justify their 'superiority' rather than acknowledging that their assumed superiority is the product of the size of their bank accounts and not of their minds. When focusing on education, there is no better word than leadership to serve the powerful and their need to present new policies to guide an educational system which has delivered the same successful failures for the last 100 years in spite of endless (declared) efforts to reform it.
Individual traits are not good explanations for this or that step taken by any system. Individual traits (of leadership or other) hide more than what they expose; they are poor conceptualizations which do not capture the complexity which characterizes human lives. Leadership talk is one more turn in the ongoing refusal to recognize complexity and promises no change other than for the powerful.
