Producer: CCS, 48K £8.00Okay cornballs, time to get your hands dirty down on your 30 acre farm! There's the buying of seed crop to do, ploughing, planting, irrigating, harvesting, storing, hiring of hands, spraying the bugs and keeping an eye on the bank balance. Weather plays an important part, and as usual with these games life just isn't a doddle. Good, clear and colourful graphics.

Lighting and soundsystem for hire
Lighting at the Llyn Gwynant barns comes with the hire. There are 4 stage lights in the Function barn with coloured filters connected to a dimmer pack. These are mounted on a lighting truss on which you can fit additional lights. The disco style projection lights can be connected to a simple 4-channel lighting controller or you can substitute your own.
A simple PA system is for hire. The cost of hire is £50 per weekend. This system consists of two 180W floor standing speaker/amplifier units plus a microphone and stand. This basic system can take a line in from a CD or MP3 player, along with microphone in. A small 12 channel mixer can be used if multiple inputs are required beyond the MP3/CD and single microphone. This is not a full-on band system but is suited for announcements and speeches, ambient music or for a small acoustic band wanting modest amplification for a singer and a couple of instruments. We can setup and configure the PA ready for you to plug in your MP3/CD player and instruct you on its straightforward operation. Included are:
- 2 x Roland KC550 4-channel amplifiers/speakers with stereo link up and 3- band equaliser
- – twin RCA auxiliary line-in for CD.MP3 player
- – XLR microphone input
- – 3 x 1/4″ jackplug inputs
- – XLR mixer outputShure SM-58 microphone and standBehringer Eurorack UB1202 12-input mixer if required for more complex configurations
- All connecting cables
The function barn is also fitted with a 16-in 4-out audio multi core stagebox and cable that easily allows a band PA system to connect to a mixing desk at the back of the function barn without laying out cables. All connections are XLR.
Bands using the barns will usually bring their own sound systems, and the stage has four sets of floor mounted power points.

Who you are is completely up to you
I went to a class with the Artfull Crafts roadshow on Wednesday and had a good play with some mixed media products. It inspired me again to get the canvas out and have a play with my own stash. Here's what I managed to whip up.
I just love the vibrancy that this projects.

9 Sexiest Tattoos in Country Music
Tattoos may not be as prominent in country as they are in other genres, but some of our favorite country artists have some seriously sexy ink marks!
Tattoos may not be as prominent in country as they are in other genres, but some of our favorite country artists have some seriously sexy ink marks!
Canaan Smith is now sporting a permanent piece of art on his forearm.
I don't have any tattoos. I have trouble committing to a pair of shoes in the morning; committing to something that would stay on my body for the rest of my life would be impossible. Maybe that's why I'm in awe of movie tattoos, and the lengths some folks go to to show their love of film. Forever! You've got to be a pretty big fan of a movie to plaster it across your chest for eternity. What if your tastes change? When I was 14, I was really into Police Academy. Can you imagine if 20 years later my wife woke up every morning to this etched into my back?
You may 'ink' twice about getting a tattoo after watching this.
Tattoos have become more and more accepted in many different genres of music. It's not just rockers that have tattoos. Many country artists have tattoos these days.
If you've never seen 'Despicable Me', take it from us-- you need to, if only to fall in love with the adorableness that are the minions.
With July 4th coming up, a lot of us are getting in the patriotic spirit with firework GIFs and festive food. But you know what? Celebrating 'merica doesn't only have to happen once every July. These people are showing off their patriotism year round!
A New York real estate company wants employees to take up some real estate on their bodies in order to take up more real estate in their bank accounts.
Ernesto Rodriguez is in the doghouse in many people's eyes.
Since tattoos are permanent and all, it's pretty important to choose a design you'll want to have for the rest of your life. The thing is, sometimes people don't exactly think about the whole 'forever' part of inking, and that's where hilarity comes prancing in.
Since the beginning of time, there have been those people who take things to the extreme. It is even more true now that we have bands and singers touring the world. Casey James recently got a taste of having an extreme fan.
Tattoo aficionados know they should only frequent parlors where things are clean and the artist uses sterile tools. But dangers may lurk elsewhere — new studies show the ink itself could be contaminated.

Trayvon Bromell - The next big athlete?
For a guy who has broken both his knees, forearm and hips before turning 16, Trayvon Bromell is keen on breaking a few more things - mostly in the world of running. At 19, he became the fastest teenager in the world when he ran the 100m in an asto
This God-fearing youngster will be participating in the IAAF World Championships at Beijing where he will compete with the likes of Usain Bolt and company. We give you a few interesting bits on Bromell on what makes him such an exciting prospect to watch out for in future:
It's All In The Genes
Christian Petersen / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / AFP
His mother Shri is a former high school sprinter while his father played in American football in the Canadian league. Genetically speaking, Trayvon is just built for this sport! All of 5 feet 9 inches, he is definitely shorter than his peers and current top-level sprinters, but that hasn't stopped him from speeding his way into the record books. "Height don't mean nothing" is what Bromell has to say about that!
World's Fastest Teenager
Christian Petersen / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / AFP
Trayvon has notched up four sub 10-second times so far and is the only teenager to ever break that barrier. He is faster than current world record holder Usain Bolt, Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin, Yohan Blake and Asafa Powell were at the same age. The celebrated names mentioned here never broke the 10 second barrier so young. Sprinters are known to peak in their 20s and the world is looking at him with bated breath as the next big athlete for the foreseeable future. He also raced against Gay at the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in June this year with the more experienced campaigner just pipping him at the finish line.
Team USA Comes Calling
Christian Petersen / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / AFP
After his exploits, he became the first teenager to qualify for the IAAF World Championships. He has successful broken into the USA team and he is pretty confident of standing his ground against the likes of the towering Usain Bolt, Tyson Gay and others. A medal in Beijing would certainly announce to the world his astounding abilities and a man to watch out for in Rio 2016!

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This is a pretty good cover of Act on Instinct, I will probably download this and listen to it over the "Official" one where they let the voices drown out the good parts way too much.
By the way, if there are any places where you can download the original in-game version, without any of the voices please let me know... I must have played that game for years and I want to hear it the way it appeared, not the way it was "meant" to appear.
Thanks, good cover, good song.

How the Aaron Hernandez Judge's controversial ruling may have sealed his fate but supported an appeal
Wednesday morning Judge Susan E. Garsh, the jurist presiding over the high profile murder trial of former NFL star Aaron Hernandez, made an astonishing evidentiary ruling that may have sealed Hernandez' fate.
The former New England Patriot is charged with first degree murder in the shooting death of Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player dating the sister of Hernandez' fiancée. It is a case built around a mountain of circumstantial evidence but without a clear motive, eyewitness testimony, or a murder weapon. Video from Hernandez' home surveillance system shows him holding a black object resembling a gun in the hours leading up to the murder and then back at his house shortly after prosecutors say Lloyd was shot and killed. The footage is very grainy and distant but it appears to be a gun of some kind. We heard ballistics testimony previously in trial that a Glock 21 firearm was used to kill Lloyd but the actual murder weapon has never been found.
On this day, Prosecutors were able to place the murder weapon – or an identical gun – in Hernandez' hands shortly before and after Prosecutors say Lloyd was shot and killed.
Kyle Aspinwall, a former New Hampshire police chief who now works for Glock, testified this morning as a "lay witness" as opposed to an "expert witness". This is an import ant distinction I will get into in a minute. He was called to the stand to show jurors what a Glock firearm looked like so that they could compare it to various still photos and video from Hernandez' home surveillance system that show him carrying the black object. Prosecutors have alleged this is the murder weapon, while defense attorneys have said it could be a TV remote or other electronic device. It appears clearly to be a gun of some kind.
As Aspinwall testified, prosecutor Patrick Bomberg played clips from the home surveillance system and asked the firearms manufacturer employee to identify the black object Hernandez was holding in various areas of the house. Judge Garsh overruled a vigorous objection from Hernandez' defense attorneys arguing this was impermissible opinion testimony from a non-expert. That it when the hammer came down:
"In my opinion, the firearm shown in the video stills is a Glock pistol," Aspinwall said. The witness said his opinion was based on various characteristics of the weapon, including the curvature of back strap, the magazine well and triggers guard.
This was the most damning period of testimony in the trial so far. Aspinwall's testimony paired with the surveillance videos, artfully presented by the way, place an identical firearm as the murder weapon in Hernandez' hands shortly before he left with two associates around 12:45am on June 17, 2013, to pick up Lloyd, and then shortly after 3:40am when the three men returned to Hernandez' North Attleboro residence. Lloyd sent his last text message at 3:23 a.m., and two witnesses have testified they heard loud bangs around that time.
Here is the problem, why was Aspinwall allowed to positively identify the weapon as a black Glock semi-automatic pistol? We are talking about affirmatively telling jurors that a black L-shaped item in Hernandez' hands, on a grainy surveillance photo, is in fact this exact same type of gun used to shoot and kill the victim. While many people will agree that the item in Hernandez' hands is a gun, and very likely not a TV remote, allowing a lay witness to positively identify the manufacturer of the firearm seems incomprehensible.
There is a very important legal distinction between a lay witness and an expert witness. In general, lay witnesses are able to testify about their personal observations or "facts", but are very limited in the opinion testimony they are able to provide. Expert witnesses on the other hand are asked to come in and give their opinion based upon their training, experience, and facts presented to them.
The Massachusetts Guide to Evidence, Section 701, which is taken nearly verbatim from the Federal Rules of Evidence, Section 701, provides the following exceptions for when a lay witness is able to provide opinion testimony:
"If the witness is not testifying as an expert, the witness's testimony in the form of opinions or inferences is limited to those opinions or inferences which are (a) rationally based on the perception of the witness; (b) helpful to a clear understanding of the witness's testimony or the determination of a fact in issue; and (c) not based on scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge within the scope of Section 702.
These types of scenarios often arise in the context of opinions based on witness observations such as how fast a car was going, the age of an individual, or the passage of time1. Here is an example from the 1875 case cited by Hernandez' defense attorneys today: "At the trial of an indictment for murder, a witness who, soon after the homicide, had taken a pair of shoes from the defendant's house, one of which, as the government contended, fitted a track supposed to have been made by the murderer, was permitted to testify that the shoes appeared as if they had recently been washed." Commonwealth vs. William E. Sturvant, 117 Mass. 122 (1875). Again, these are everyday opinions based on a witness's observations. An expert opinion, on the other hand, is reserved for non-everyday experiences.
"While an expert opinion is admissible only where it will help jurors interpret evidence that lies outside of common experience, a lay opinion is admissible only where it lies within the realm of common experience." Commonwealth v. Canty, 466 Mass. 535, 541–542, 998 N.E.2d 322, 328–330 (2013) (quotation omitted).
I don't imagine for many people it is "common experience" to be able to affirmatively identify a black object resembling a gun in a grainy photo as a specific make and model of firearm. Otherwise, why would they need a Glock employee to do it? This is exactly what expert witnesses are for, to help jurors interpret evidence outside of the common experience.
While Aspinwall might very well be qualified to discuss Glock firearms, after all he works for Glock and is a former Chief of Police in Mount Vernon, New Hampshire, that doesn't make him an "expert witness" in the legal sense. A special hearing, often called a "Daubert-Lanigan" hearing2, must be held to determine the relevant expertise and reliability of the expert. That did not happen here. Aspinwall was able to give his opinion as a lay witness, and very damning opinion at that, that Hernandez was holding a black polymer semi-automatic Glock 21 pistol.
A Massachusetts attorney told me after court that this decision was similar to asking a Chiquita banana salesman to look at a grainy distant photo of a banana (without the label of course!) and say "Ya, that's definitely a Chiquita banana."
To be fair, this trial has been extremely complex from the outset. Both Hernandez and the Commonwealth are being represented by some of the finest lawyers in Massachusetts and neither side has given an inch. The one constant has been Judge Garsh. She has been a stalwart in the courtroom and presided over the trial with a strong yet calm demeanor throughout the huge volume of evidentiary hearings, foundation requests, refusals to stipulate, and every other kind of objections possible. Her decisions have always been accompanied by lengthy oral dissertations with well-reasoned thoughtful analysis and legal support.
Maybe the most telling part of Wednesday's decision was that she skipped her usual lengthy legal analysis. She gave a few brief statements referring to the witness's "experience and training" before allowing him to tell jurors Hernandez is not only a gun, he is carrying THE EXACT GUN you're looking for.
"[Aspinwall] testified as an expert," a prosecutor we contacted told us. "It sounds identical to expert testimony and should have been treated as such. This man was a former cop and works for Glock, why wouldn't qualify as an expert? Sounds like the defense has a decent argument on appeal."
We asked veteran Criminal Defense attorney Robert Sheahen, who has been practicing for over 35 years, who told us "This ruling is outrageous, it is patently absurd. This decision undermines the entire premise of 'expert testimony.'"
Of course, whether or not Judge Garsh was correct to allow the testimony, it is too late now. The jurors have already heard the testimony, so the cat is out of the bag. But don't think Hernandez' defense attorneys haven't put big red "APPEAL" stamp on today's decision.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

The figure is pretty good, the only thing is that the projectile that he fires from his arm is attached by a string to his arm, so the string is always hanging there (I cut it off, as it was kind of annoying).
Figure ability: Powerful bio-blast
Accessories: Projectile
This is actually an old X-Men villain, the Crimson Commando, who later just became Commando. The figure is very well done and is pretty well detailed.
Figure ability: Water squirting cannon
Accessories: Projectiles
A newer villain to the X-Men universe, Exodus was Magneto's right hand man. The figure is very well done and is well detailed. The wing type things on his back can cape can be removed. Squeezing the wings close together make his arm move to throw the plasma ball.
Figure ability: Plasma burst
Accessories: Fireball, Wings x2, Cape
Mojo (rerelease)
Mojo was one of the bigger figures released. Although the figure is smaller than what size he was in the comics, it is still a decent figure. His snap on legs and claws came out a lot, and the sometimes didn't hold him up all that well. There was a button on the back to make his tail whip forward.
Figure ability: Tail whipping action
Accessories: None
Urban Assault Cable
This cable is pretty good, as it is the outfit that he wore in the Phalanx Covenant in the comics. The gun he comes with can be attached to the brown shoulder pad, although it sticks out pretty far. The gun, once attached can be moved around the shoulder pad.
Figure ability: Shoulder cannon blaster
Accessories: Projectiles x2, Gun

He put a ring on it
Steve and Jen Drake, Coaldale
You can't tell an engagement story without talking about the ring, which is where our story begins.
I was given an heirloom engagement ring. Only after I received the ring did I find out the whole story. My great-grandmother worked for Boscov's as a jewelry buyer. She was on a purchasing trip for the store and noticed a diamond on the floor of the train. So she picked it up. When my great grandfather wanted to marry my great-grandmother, he had no money for a ring. They decided to set the stone she found as her engagement ring.
When my grandfather wanted to marry my grandmother, my great-grandmother gave my grandfather the ring to give to my grandmother. My grandmother wore the ring until she was placed in a home for Alzheimer's.
My grandfather wanted to ask my grandmother if I could have it, to propose to Jennifer. She said yes. One week after I received the ring my grandmother passed. I believe that she wanted me to have it and hung on to make sure I got it. The ring has been in my family for over 100 years, and there is over 100 years of love behind it.
The proposal itself happened on a Saturday in July at Knoebels Grove. Knoebels was one of our favorite places growing up (even though we didn't know each then). We had some pizza and ice cream, and then took a ride on the Skyway, where I planned for it to happen. I was shaking with anticipation. Just as our chair turned and started to go back down, (the quietest part of the park) I opened the box and asked her to marry me. She said yes, but we were both shaking. We were a hundred feet in the air and didn't want to risk dropping it, so the ring stayed in the box.
As we were coming down to get off the ride, the song "Single Ladies (put a ring on it)" by Beyoncé could be heard. I liked it and put a ring on it.
As we got off the ride, I dropped to one knee and placed the ring on her finger. We received a round of applause from onlookers, and Dick Knoebel himself showed up to congratulate us.
We vowed to go back to Knoebels on that date every year and ride our ride.

Looking for ideas for your next holiday? Why not book an Easter break with the family to one of our quirky cottages, a wild escape at one of our campsites and bargain bothies, or spend the summer helping behind the scenes? And by holidaying with us, you'll not just have a memorable experience, but you'll be helping us protect these unique buildings and environments for ever, for everyone. Here's our pick of some of the best getaways on offer this year.
One of our newest holiday cottages, number 9 is the only holiday home on the iconic Arlington Row. The cottages were built in 1380 as a monastic wool store and converted into weavers' cottages in the 17th-century. Bibury's central location also provides easy access to the Roman town of Cirencester and Chedworth Roman Villa: one of the grandest Roman villas in Britain.
This stone cottage is situated on the shores of Stangford Lough and the Castle Ward estate. The cottage is located next to the historic working farmyard and clock tower which featured as Winterfell in HBO's Game of Thrones. And the estate offers plenty of Game of Thrones experiences, including archery and cycle tours of the locations.
New for 2017, this campsite is situated on the beautiful coastline of south Pembrokeshire, above Freshwater West beach. The campsite offers easy access to Stackpole's award-winning sandy beaches, tranquil wooded valleys, wildlife-rich lily ponds, walking trails and watersports. Keep an eye out for otters in the lily ponds and seabirds around the coast.
If you like the idea of camping but still want to maintain a little luxury, why not stay in one of our glamping pods? The pods have enough space to fit families of 2 adults and up to 3 children, with two single beds and plenty of floor space. The pods at Crom look out over Lough Erne and are a stone's throw from the water - the perfect spot to relax and watch the sunset.
Home to natural wonders like Snowdonia National Park and Puffin Island, North Wales has been ranked number four on Lonely Planet's best places in the world to visit in 2017. These two cottages are an excellent base to explore the regions many attractions. They also offer great inspiration for walkers, having once played host to Sir Edmund Hillary, conqueror of Mount Everest.
Experience life as a ranger whilst enjoying time outdoors with the family. Each day will be a mix of work and play in the beautiful wooded gorge of Allen Banks. Help the rangers make charcoal, clear rhododendron and learn about what it takes to look after this special place and its wildlife as well as other fun activities throughout your stay. Runs 24th - 27th July.
During this seven day experience, you'll help to restore some of North Devon's beautiful coastline. Learn the art of stone-faced hedge-banking and provide a vital habitat for many wildflowers, voles, reptiles and birds. In your time off, you'll also have the opportunity to go wild swimming, kayaking and try the adrenaline-fuelled coasteering. Runs 8th - 15th July.
Octavia Hill bunkhouse was converted from a former farm building and dairy around 40 years ago and several of the original features still remain. The bunkhouse is perfect for groups of family and friends, walkers, special interest groups and people who are looking for a base to explore the area. Sleeps 14.
Another new addition, this late Georgian Grade II listed gatehouse has remained largely unaltered for the last 200 years. The cottage has retained many historical features including an old fashioned Belfast sink, an Everhot oven (similar to an AGA) and traditional red clay tile flooring.
In the heart of the Devon countryside, this Edwardian cottage features an open-plan kitchen/dining room, sitting room, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The nearby Watersmeet gorge offers many great walks through ancient woodland. For a more adventurous activity, you can try paddling the white waters of the East Lyn River or surfing in Lynmouth Bay.
Immerse yourself in the mysterious history of this 17th-centrury farmhouse
Do you struggle to keep your New Year's resolutions? Here are five reasons why a National Trust holiday can help.
Retrace the footsteps of Virginia Woolf, ascend Rapunzel's tower, go back to Victorian times or stay in an old wireless station – our quirkiest cottages will guarantee a memorable stay.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- More bones have been discovered in the mysterious death of a man whose remains were first found two years ago.
Back in July 2015, police discovered skeletal remains in a wooded area between Satellite Boulevard and Buford Highway near Suwanee Creek in Buford.
The remains had been in the woods for several years, and investigators said time had erased important clues.
In a second search of the area March 3, the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner's Office said they found four additional bones belonging to the man.
Police have said there were no personal effects found on the man, and they have not been able to determine his cause of death.
Investigators hope small clues could help solve the mystery of who the man is.
The first set of remains found showed the man had multiple fillings and one root canal from a tooth in his lower jaw.
The medical examiner theorizes that the man was a contractor. At the time of his death, the area was mostly undeveloped subdivisions.
Investigators hope the latest discovery can lead to closure for a family in search of loved ones.
"They why we want to do our best to put forth as much information as we can share, about the characteristics of this missing person," said Gwinnett County Cpl. Deon Washington.
Investigators can't exactly pinpoint a date when the man died. Kelly Lawson, a forensic artist from the GBI, released a forensic sketch.
"Exact information about hair color, hair length, or skin tone is unknown. The image is based on the artist's impressions," a Gwinnett County Police spokesperson said in a release.
Authorities believe the man was between 25 and 40 years old and was between 5'3" and 5'7" tall.
Anyone with information is asked to call 770-513-5300. To remain anonymous, tipsters can contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or visit www.crimestoppersatlanta.org.

Obama Orders Targeted Killing of American Citizen; Amber Alert Issued for US Constitution
Filed Under Law, Nat'l Security, Politics, War | 8 Comments
Anybody with a knowledge of the history of people whose power went to their heads should shudder at this piece of Hope & Change on steroids:
The Obama administration has taken the extraordinary step of authorizing the targeted killing of an American citizen, the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is believed to have shifted from encouraging attacks on the United States to directly participating in them, intelligence and counterterrorism officials said Tuesday.
It is extremely rare, if not unprecedented, for an American to be approved for targeted killing, officials said. A former senior legal official in the administration of George W. Bush said he did not know of any American who was approved for targeted killing under the former president.
But the director of national intelligence, Dennis C. Blair, told a House hearing in February that such a step was possible. "We take direct actions against terrorists in the intelligence community,†he said. "If we think that direct action will involve killing an American, we get specific permission to do that.â€
Glenn Greenwald at Salon analyzes it this way:
No due process is accorded. No charges or trials are necessary. No evidence is offered, nor any opportunity for him to deny these accusations (which he has done vehemently through his family). None of that.
Instead, in Barack Obama's America, the way guilt is determined for American citizens — and a death penalty imposed — is that the President, like the King he thinks he is, secretly decrees someone's guilt as a Terrorist. He then dispatches his aides to run to America's newspapers — cowardly hiding behind the shield of anonymity which they're granted — to proclaim that the Guilty One shall be killed on sight because the Leader has decreed him to be a Terrorist.
The juxtaposition is highly confusing. President Obama's Justice Department is bending over backwards to apply constitutional protections to non-citizens while at the same time stripping a US citizen of his constitutional protections? Obama must think constitutional rights are a zero-sum game (to give them to one person means another has to lose them).
The confusing message being sent to Anwar al-Awlaki is this: If you want to live, not to mention be provided with taxpayer-supplied legal assistance, a laptop computer, and be afforded constitutional protections reserved for US citizens, then renounce your US citizenship now. Dizzying, but true.
As one who has heard Obama-supporting Democrats in Washington describe Tea Partiers as "terrorists," finding out that, from time to time, it's okay to kill American citizen "terrorists" without due process tends to be a tad troubling.

Good points, Mr. Powers. It important that this stuff gets repeated…and as we are finding out…the devil is in the details.

In the '90s Clinton and Reno thought they could slaughter peons at their whim. Some fella named McVeigh taught them that sometimes victims fight back and they were nothing but dirtbag pols,not kings.
Lesson for "The One"…
Remember "Waco" and "Ruby Ridge"!!!(not to mention Abraham,Martin and John)

Wow, so Rick supports terrorism. McVeigh taught us that right wing lunatics will slaughter innocent children to promote their false ideology.
Rick, you disgust me.

Nick,you know good and well it is the Left and their govt that hide behind women and children.
Bill Clinton's Feds didn't give a damned how many mothers and children at Waco were slaughtered in their home!
I have mixed feelings about McVeigh's action and wish everyone had not been so anxious to sweep it all under the rug.Fact is,it did stop Clinton in his tracks.

Well it's polling day, and if anybody wants a spur to vote Ukip they have two options: Peter Oborne's stirring cover piece in the new issue of The Spectator and Matthew d'Ancona's column in yesterday's Evening Standard.
If the sight of white activists pretending to be Romanians so that they could accuse black UKIP members of 'racism' did not push you over the edge, then d'Ancona's column probably will.
His article was headlined: 'We must expose UKIP as the racist party it is.' This is some promise: for years, Ukip's enemies have been trying to suggest that the party is racist. D'Ancona's evidence? Ukip seemed to be racist because it – like the vast majority of the British public – is opposed to mass immigration. Then, happily ignoring the crime figures on Romanian immigrants in London (which Rod Liddle writes about in some detail in the Spectator today), d'Ancona said:
'Last week, in an astonishing LBC interview, he [Farage] went even further: "I was asked if a group of Romanian men moved in next door, would you be concerned? And if you lived in London, I think you would be."'
D'Ancona then adds:
'If this is not racist, then nothing is racist.'
Really? Nothing? That's not how I see it. Kristallnacht was racist. Apartheid South Africa was racist. The Rape of Nanking was racist. But to refer to an LBC interview with Nigel Farage as 'racist' is to rob the word of any meaning. It's also a grave insult to those fighting genuine racism, in London and elsewhere. It strikes me as shameful that the 'racism' card is played so blithely.
D'Ancona concludes by asking his London readers to rise above the provincial Ukippery and save the rest of the knuckle-draggers in the country from themselves. He even crow-bars in the Olympics, finishing:
'So — as so often in history — it is left to Londoners to speak for the nation. Tomorrow, they will vote for representatives in 32 boroughs, choose four borough mayors, and select eight MEPs to go to Strasbourg. Ukip has a single elected borough councilor, in Havering, although the party claims that 19 further individuals have defected to its banner. One of our eight MEPs is Ukip's Gerald Batten. Two years ago, in an unforgettable Olympic summer, the voters of London reminded the world that this is the truly global city. Tomorrow, they should speak out again.'
A political elite and its supporters in the media has spent weeks trying to brow-beat the public into believing that it is not just wrong, but actually 'racist' not to vote Conservative, Liberal Democrat or Labour. D'Ancona is simply elaborating on a theme that has been played through most of Fleet St – even The Sun has depicted Farage as a demonic figure.
What effect will this have, as Britain goes to the polls? I don't know how many people are tempted to lend their vote to Ukip in this election. But after this gang-up on the British public, you can certainly see why so many people are willing to take up Farage's offer: to give this bullying and smearing political-media class, the bloody nose they deserve.

Robin Thicke
Pearl Concert Theater
4321 West Flamingo Road
Las Vegas, NV, 89103
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
Watch & Listen
Born in Los Angeles, Robin taught himself to play piano at the age of 12 and by 16 was writing and producing songs for artists like Brandy, Color Me Badd, and Brian McKnight. By the age of 21, he had written and produced songs on over 20 gold and platinum albums including Michael Jackson, Marc Anthony, Pink, Christina Aguilera and others.
One year later he signed with Jimmy Iovine and Interscope records. Soon after he met André Harrell (former CEO of Uptown Records and mentor to Mary J. Blige, Sean "Puffy" Combs and countless others). It didn't take much time for Robin to realize he found the creative partner he needed to make A Beautiful World, his critically acclaimed debut album released in 2003 under the name "Thicke." After A Beautiful World, Thicke continued to work hard and went on to write and produce songs for Usher's Grammy winning album Confessions, Lil' Wayne's The Carter 2, and Mary J Blige.
Soon after Thicke came out with his breakthrough second release, 2006's The Evolution Of Robin Thicke. Now on the way to double platinum status, Evolution's mega hit "Lost Without U" became the #1 most played song in Urban Adult Contemporary BDS and topped four Billboard charts simultaneously: #1 R&B /Hip Hop album, #1 Hot R&B / Hip Hop song, #1 Hot R&B Hip Hop Airplay, and #1 Hot Adult R&B Airplay. Robin established himself as one of the most respected singer-songwriters in soul and R&B music today. In the summer of 2007 he toured with Beyonce and appeared on Oprah twice.
The year 2007 concluded with the VH1 Soul/Vibe award for "Best Breakthrough Artist" and nominations from BET ("Best Male R&B" and "Viewer's Choice"), Soul Train ("Best R&B Soul Album, Male"), MTV VMA ("Male Artist of the Year"), MOBO (Best Song, "Lost Without U"), the American Music Awards ("Favorite Breakthrough Artist") and was named ASCAP's Song of the Year for "Lost Without You."
The award-winning multiplatinum superstar returned to center stage in 2008 with Something Else, a joyful and modern tribute to the '70s soul and pop records that have inspired an extraordinary career. Revered by critics as one of the best soul albums in years, this '70s-inspired album dealt with racism, poverty, and love in the hits "Dreamworld," "Magic," and "The Sweetest Love." The album is aptly titled. Debuting at #3 on The Billboard 200, Something Else is Thicke's highest charted album to date. Thicke obtained yet another top 10 hit single with "Magic" hitting #2 on the urban charts. The closing song, "Tie My Hands" was a favorite of Lil Wayne's and he put it on his record- breaking album, The Carter 3. They performed the song together at The 2009 Grammys, soon after he toured with Mary J. Blige.
In December of 2009 Robin released Sex Therapy, an album that created a fantasy world of eroticism, while still dealing with the honest struggle a man has with seduction, loneliness and betrayal. The title song, "Sex Therapy," was hailed by critics as "the sexiest song of the year" and went on to be #1 on the R&B/ Hip Hop charts and also won an ASCAP Rhythm and Soul Award.
Robin's fifth studio album, Love After War was released on December 6th, 2011. The first single from the album, the title track "Love After War," quickly went to #1 on Urban AC and stayed at the top for 2 weeks. The Associated Press called Love After War a "must buy," Billboard exclaimed "Thicke has consistently shown himself to be one of R&B's most devoted ladies' men" and Entertainment Weekly called the album "ever-seductive." The album is Thicke at his most raw and honest condition yet. It is an album born out of a desire to be the uncompromising, idealistic artist he was as a boy, married with the weight of being a man with responsibilities and the scars of the past. Love After War and songs you'll discover within it, like "An Angel on Each Arm," "I'm An Animal," "Never Give Up," "Cloud 9," "Pretty Lil' Heart" and "Tears On My Tuxedo" need no explanation: they speak for themselves. Robin believes a song can be whatever the listener wants it to be. The reasons and decisions that lead him to write his songs are not important; what matters most is how they make the listener feel. Robin is as faithful to his fans as they are to him. His ultimate desire is to entertain the listener… to move them… to inspire them… to make them love more.
Robin was part of the first season of ABC's debut reality singing series "Duets," which premiered on May 24th, 2012. Robin served as a show "Superstar" alongside Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Jennifer Nettles. Next up for Robin is his film debut; he shot an independent film "Abby in the Summer" where he worked alongside Jaime Pressly, Joey Lauren Adams, and Frances Conroy.

Researchers in Alaska have found the earliest known evidence that Ice Age humans in North America used salmon as a food source, according to a new paper.
The 11,500-year-old remains were found in Alaska, a study says, confirming that salmon fishing in North America dates from the end of the last ice age.
Ruohavuolle on the river Kymi offers the best salmon fishing in Southern Finland.
The silver salmon fishing is as good as ever here at Alaska West and Rapids Camp Lodge, and not only are we catching a lot of silvers this year, we're also catching a lot of bigger fish. That has our anglers are asking, "how big is that hog?", which has us scratching our heads.. "Yeah, exactly how […]

Unanswered: find last Monday's date
How do I get last Monday's day using today's date?
'if today is Thursday this gives last Thursday's date.
Me![Beginning Entry Date] = DateAdd("ww", -1, todate)
I need Monday's date of previous week. I tried datepart and datediff function but what they give me are integer values.
Can someone help with this?
Thank you!

This should work:
DATEADD("d", -((datepart("w",now)-2)+7), now)
The 2 in the formula indicates that Monday is the 2nd day of the week.
You'll have to adjust if you have a day other than Sunday as the first day of the week.
You could also create a function like this:
Function LastMonday() As Date
Dim bToday As Byte, intDayDif As Integer
bToday = DatePart("w", Now)
intDayDif = (bToday - vbMonday) + 7
LastMonday = DateAdd("d", -(intDayDif), Now)
End Function

Darm it. RedNeckGeek beat me to it. His answer's better anyway but since I just spend ten mins working this out I'm going to post it any way.
Dim IntDay As Integer
Dim IntCounter As Integer
'If today is a Monday then start yesterday
'so it doesn't pick up today as a Monday
If Weekday(Now(), vbMonday) Then
IntCounter = 0
IntCounter = 1
End If
'Loop till it's a Monday
Do Until IntDay = 2
IntCounter = IntCounter - 1
IntDay = Weekday(DateAdd("d", IntCounter, Now()))
'Last monday was intcounter days ago.
MsgBox "The date last monday was: " & DateAdd("d", IntCounter, Now())
Oh well.

Find Last Monday of the month
Hi guys! Thanks for your post (I know it was a LONG time ago). I was trying to find a way to find the last Monday in May, and so I took what you posted and modified it a little. I had to tweak it slightly because for the last Monday in May of 2009 it was returning June 1st instead. So, here's what I used to get the last Monday in May (validated for 2000-2011):
DateAdd("d", -((DatePart("w",dtmLastDay-1)-1)), dtmLastDay)
Note: dtmLastDay is a variable I used to store the last day of the month that I passed in to the function (which happened to be May in my case).

Straight-laced Princeton University admissions officer Portia Nathan is caught off-guard when she makes a recruiting visit to an alternative high school overseen by her former college classmate, the free-wheeling John Pressman. Pressman has surmised that Jeremiah, his gifted yet very unconventional student, might well be the son that Portia secretly gave up for adoption many years ago. Soon, Portia finds herself bending the rules for Jeremiah, putting at risk the life she thought she always wanted -- but in the process finding her way to a surprising and exhilarating life and romance she never dreamed of having.

"National security"
| "National security"

• Business Executives for National Security
• Lamont Colucci
• George C. Marshall Institute
• Institute of World Politics
• Sven Kraemer
• Le Cercle
• Henry Rowen
• Thomas Schelling
• United States Homeland Security Council
|Like the idea of 'Patriotism', the notion of 'National Security' is one designed to bind all members of a society together. By evoking fear of its opposite it creates a suitable psychological frame for the abdication of personal responsibility to the nation state. In the 21st century, the concept is repeated like a mantra in en effort to justify ever more opaqueness in the workings of government.
"National security" is a piece of doublespeak commonly associated with deep state projects such as the "war on terror". It is such a part of modern discourse that even when denouncing abuse of the "state secrets privilege", the ACLU have used it uncritically.[1]
Official Narrative
The phrase "national security" crops up without a very tight definition in a variety of contexts - particularly in laws explaining why they apply to ordinary people one one way, but not necessarily to establishment organs or employees. Officially, the "national security" dogma is only used when absolutely necessarily and is not be used to cover up establishment malfeasance. In 2013, this was stated to be the "primary function" of the FBI. It is generally invoked to justify some form of censorship.
If "national security" were really about defending citizens, it would address the risks somewhat proportionately. In fact, road accidents kill around 390 times more people than international "terrorism", yet have not been subject to the same attention.[2]
It is an open secret that in direct contradiction of the official narrative, the "state secrets privilege", and the vaguer term of "national security" are widely used by those in positions of power - perhaps especially USA - to cover up governmental corruption. For example, the Edward Snowden Affair has made it obvious to anyone with the emotional readiness to face the fact that even when illegal conduct (in this case, unconstitutional mass surveillance or flat out lies to US Congress) by those in power is exposed, legal action is not to be expected in any case.
"We need to insist, as we insisted at Nuremberg, that no raison d'état is off-limits to public scrutiny, public criticism and public wrath."
Amy Baker Benjamin (27 Sep 2015) — [3]
An Alternative Interpretation
Mark Gorton writes about the cabal that organised the JFK Assassination that "In order to escape justice for their heinous crimes, the Cabal needed to build a number of capabilities for themselves. The Cabal needed to be able to kill with impunity anyone who threatened to expose them. They needed to be able to control the press, and they need to control the presidency, federal law enforcement agencies, and the intelligence community. Operating under the secret cover of "national security" from within intelligence agencies (CIA, ONI, military intelligence, etc.), the Cabal has (been) able to systematically destroy threats to itself."[4]
Legal 'Get Out Of Jail Free'
"National security" is increasingly being codified into national laws as a kind of legal "Get Out Of Jail Free" card - i.e. a sovereign immunity, a way to avoid being prosecuted under the law to which only national governments have resort. In September 2015, a US Judge ruled that Saudi Arabia had "sovereign immunity" from prosecution for the 9-11 attacks, notwithstanding a 2011 decision that withheld such privilege from the government of against Afghanistan.[5]
Withholding information
Many nations have some official form of 'State Secrets Privilege', a legal doctrine allowing the government to withhold information during legal proceedings which they would otherwise have to disclose (such as, for example, the source of information, or answers to questions from the defence). The official narrative is that this is used only for (scarce) matters of "National Security", something which is increasingly belied by the facts.

- Full article: "US/National security"
The 9/11 commission claimed that it created a computer model of the collapse of WTC7, but did not release it, citing "national security" as the reason why not.
In 2009, US Attorney General Eric Holder explicitly stated that lawyers would only invoke the privilege when there was a possibility of "significant harm" to the country, and that they would not use it to hide to hide "administrative error", to "prevent embarrassment" or hide illegal government programs.[6] This is an ever more blatant lie. The US government cited national security to withhold information a record 8,496 times — a 57 percent increase over a year earlier and more than double Obama's first year".[7] It has been used to arm terrorist groups[8] and avoid explaining why the FBI turned a blind eye (or worse) to the Dallas occupy plot to assassinate leaders of the peaceful protests.

In the UK, the equivalent is Public-interest immunity, which allows courts to allow one litigant (e.g. the state) to refrain from disclosing evidence to the other litigants where disclosure would be damaging to the public interest. The European Court of Human Rights has held that Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, to protect the "right to a fair trial" is not an absolute right and that measures such as Public-interest immunity certificates are lawful if "strictly necessary".[9]
The Attorney General for England and Wales leads the Crown Prosecution Service, a purportedly largely independent body, but which has an exception for "national security". In 2015, The Mirror quoted a detective sergeant as saying in the 1980s that a major child abuse investigation shut down by the CPS regarding a royal and an MP, as it was not in the public interest because it "could destabilise national security".[10] Since 2008, the CPS has argued that "national security" grounds justify secret trials.
The Australian government has cited "national security" as a pretext for counter-terrorism laws including internet censorship.[11]
The phrase "national security" occurs in the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a reason why human rights may be limited or even pushed aside during times of "national emergency". It does specify that "the emergency must be actual, affect the whole population and the threat must be to the very existence of the nation. The declaration of emergency must also be a last resort and a temporary measure."[12]

HTC's flagship device has received large numbers of complaints of overheating and suffering from a poor battery life, which has caused the manufacturer to investigate new software updates.Users of the handset, which was billed as an 'iPhone killer' when it was launched in May, have complained that the touch-screen device is unresponsive, runs out of battery quickly and overheats when it is used.The problems could be resolved when the manufacturer releases a UK software update later this month. The update will improve the handset's Random Operating Memory (ROM), which was released on the manufacturer's Asian website on 23 July; however, UK users will have to wait.A spokeswoman for HTC said that the devices are locked according to their region, and UK phones would not recognise the HTC Asia upgrade, but a UK version would be 'on its way soon'.She said: 'There's no date yet, but we're hoping it will be available in the next couple of weeks.'HTC would not confirm that the download is designed to reduce the overheating or improve the battery life, but developers are understood to believe that these problems can be resolved by upgrading the radio portions of the ROM.The HTC spokeswoman added: 'What the upgrade addresses will be available with the upgrade.' According to the XDA Developers website, a forum for software developers for HTC handsets, the upgrade on the HTC Asia website will enable GSM 850 band for use in the US, improve the 'TouchFLO 3D' tab switching and movement speed, and improve the audio quality.Vodafone has told its customers that processing the ROM update could wipe Vodafone's pre-installed satellite navigation software, and that the software upgrade would invalidate the operator's warranty. Last month, HTC warned customers that purchasing the handset from grey market traders could mean that they do not receive 'the full customer service'.

There are many different causes of blindness and visual impairment, including aging, disease, congenital problems and accidents. In the United States, the major causes of blindness and severe visual impairment are age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, and to some degree, cataracts.
Macular degeneration is an eye condition that affects the retina, a thin layer of tissue that covers the back inside wall of the eye. The central portion of the retina is called the macula, and it is responsible for central vision which is used to see details. Thus, this eye condition affects a person's ability to read, identify faces, etc. Macular degeneration does not result in total blindness. New treatments may slow the progression of macular degeneration, but cannot reverse the condition.
Normal vision Macular degeneration
For more information on macular degeneration, click here.
Glaucoma is an eye condition that can cause blindness without any symptoms or pain. Glaucoma causes progressive damage to the optic nerve, often due to high pressure inside the eye. This damage causes loss of side vision and can eventually result in blindness. Only an eye examination can tell whether glaucoma is present, and if diagnosed in its early stages, treatment with drops and other medications can be most effective.
Normal vision Glaucoma
For more information on glaucoma, click here.
Diabetic retinopathy is a disease of the eye caused when the small blood vessels in the retina begin to weaken or get blocked. The disease's effect on vision can range from a distortion similar to looking through water, to dark spots throughout the visual field. Eventually the retina can become detached resulting in severe vision loss or blindness. For people with diabetes, the risk for this disease can be lowered by controlling blood sugar levels and diet.
Normal vision Diabetic retinopathy
For more information on diabetic retinopathy, click here.
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is the name given to a group of eye diseases that are genetic. RP affects the part of the eye that is sensitive to light. RP develops slowly and severe vision loss may take many years. An early symptom is night blindness. The next symptom is a loss of side vision, which worsens over time until all side vision is lost. RP can lead to total blindness. There is no cure at this time.
For more information on retinitis pigmentosa, click here.
A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye, usually associated with aging. Surgery to remove the damaged lens is a highly effective method of restoring sight to a person with cataracts. Some individuals experience visual impairment when treatment is complicated by other health conditions.

9/11 panel charges stonewalling
The federal commission probing the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington has leveled charges that government agencies are impeding its efforts.
Commissioners charged the agencies are reluctant to turn over documents or to provide witnesses needed in the investigation.
The chairman and vice chairman, former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean, a Republican, and former Rep. Lee Hamilton, a Democrat, aimed their fire at the Pentagon and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for withholding information about NORAD, the joint U.S.-Canadian air defense command. On the day of the attacks the air defense system failed to scramble fighter planes in time to intercept the four hijacked airliners.
Millions of documents were requested from 16 federal agencies, but the majority of them have not been produced, even though the panel has used up almost half the time allotted by Congress for the investigation. The commission report is due by May 27 of next year.
A statement from the commission said problems that have arisen so far with the Department of Defense are becoming particularly serious. It called for better cooperation from the Bush administration in the remaining months of the inquiry.
Kean and Hamilton, at a news conference, directed attention to the administrations insistence that all government witnesses be accompanied by officials from their respective agencies when they are interviewed by the commission.
Some reporters have likened this move to the Iraqi governments use of official minders to sit in on interviews by U.N. weapons inspectors. At that time, Bushs spokesmen said that tactic proved Saddam Hussein had something to hide.
Kean told the assembled media personnel: I think the commission feels unanimously that its some intimidation to have somebody sitting behind you all the time who you either work for or works for your agency. You might get less testimony than you would. We would rather interview these people without minders or without agency people there.
The national commission was created last fall after fierce opposition by the Bush administration. The White House backed off only after families of the Sept. 11 victims protested and threatened to embarrass the administration right before the 2002 congressional elections.
Several commission members have raised serious questions about the role of the White House and the national security system before and during Sept. 11.
