Reviews/Comments On Black Sun Rising
A brilliant exploration of the interaction between human morality and inhuman power, and by extension, the effect human concepts of good and evil can have on inhuman magic placeWas this review helpful to you?
very interesting and unique base, I felt this book had TONS of potential if the characters weren't so cliché - seems as if the author has a huge crush on the main female character, descriptions of her were pretty cheesy after a while. could have been a great book with more focus on how our internal thoughts, fears and desires affect our outside world, which in turn affects us.Was this review helpful to you?
i agree with you, the female character being the "turn-off" for me, i didnt finish the book because of her.Was this review helpful to you?

Last week I shared my article on the mind-body connection is and how meditation can strengthen it. You can read it here if you missed it. But do you know how and why meditation works? If not, this post is for you.
To explain how meditation works I need to get scientific. Hang in there though, as I will keep my explanations as simple as possible.
Our brains aren't static. The brain you were born with is not the same brain that you have today. It has been adapting and changing over the years. New pathways are created in response to our changing thoughts, feelings and experiences. This means we can train our brain to change by the way we think and mindful practices that we adopt.
To understand how meditation works you need to have a basic understanding of four key areas in the brain. These four areas are:
The Medial Pre-Frontal Cortex: This area of the brain processes information related to self. It's the part of the brain that 'is all about you'. It causes you to over-analyse yourself, your relationship to others and your everyday life. It worrys, relives experiences and creates stories. It is also the area that causes you to take things too personally. In essence it is your subjective self.
The Lateral Pre-Frontal Cortex: This area is rational, logical and balanced. It assures you that your fears aren't real and it helps you to not take things so personally. It is your objective self.
The Insula: This area monitors your body sensations. It is where you experience gut feelings from. It acts as a guide to how you react to what you sense in your body. If your Insula is on overdrive you are more likely to go into a panic if you wake with tingling in your arm. You think you are having a heart attack. If modulated you realise you just slept on it funny and the tingling will resolve in a minute or two.
The Amygdala: This area is responsible for fear and for the fight-or-fight response. When you hang out in Fear Town you hang out here. It is the part of your brain that initiates how you respond to stressors in your life.
Now we know what these four areas do, lets talk about what is going on in the brain of a person who doesn't meditate. Strong pathways run between the Medial Pre-Frontal Cortex, the Insula and Amygdala. This means you are more likely to stress, worry, panic or overthink it. Or keep thinking about it!
For example, your boss leaves you a message on your phone asking you to call him on your day off. If the connections between these areas of you brain are strong you start creating a story about why. You might start panicking that you are going to get fired or that he is going to cut your hours.
It also means that the drunken monkeys who spend all day chattering away in your head tend to be louder. They tell you that you aren't pretty enough or funny enough because that guy hasn't text you.
Now lets talk about the pathways in the brain of someone who meditates daily (even if it's just for 10 minutes).
What happens is simple. The strong connection between the Medial Pre-Frontal Cortex, Insula and Amygdala breaks down. The connection between the Lateral Pre-Fontal Cortex, the Insula and Amygdala then strengthens. It has also been proven that the Amygdala itself (or Fear Town) begins to shrink.
This is why people describe feeling less stressed, anxious and emotional when they meditate. The logical and rational brain modulates the areas of the brain setting off signals of fear.
Instead of thinking you will get fired when your boss calls, you return the call. You realise there is no point worrying about something that hasn't happened yet. You stop looking at your phone because you know that guy is at work and he said he'd call you in the evening.
In a nutshell you think and act calmer. Your mind is clearer and more focused. You concentrate better and you don't feel so much like a crazy person!
For these changes to happen though you need to be meditating regularly. Just like any other skill you want to require you have to set aside time, be committed and practice. It's just like learning to play the piano or speak a new language. You have to turn up, do the work and be patient.
Now have a greater understanding of how mediation works it is up to you to make a commitment. A commitment to becoming calmer and more rational. If you don't think you have ten minutes in your day to meditate then I have a challenge for you. Track how much time you spend each day on social media. And if it's more than ten minutes I won't you to ask yourself the question, 'What is going to make me feel better'?

Christina Milian's Denim On Denim Get-Up
Christina Milian has been popping up a lot lately in the fashion world. With her upcoming reality TV series about to air, showcasing her life and where she has been these past couples of years, Christina has been making sure to make appearances everywhere. The gorgeous actress and singer was recently spotted having dinner at Chester Restaurant in NYC. Christina's outfit, however, was held to questionable scrutiny by us here at The Styler – find out why!
Christina wore a signature denim on denim look, rocking a medium washed chambray loose denim top with some skinny, distressed medium washed denim jeans. Pulling the look in with a bit of an eccentric jacket, Christina wore a Valery Kovalska Spring 2015 Powder Blue Fringe Leather Jacket. The powder blue fringe leather jacket was a cute addition to the look, as Christina attempted to liven up the more dull denim shades. Matching it up with her leather jacket, Christina also donned a pair of Ruthie Davis Rihanna Platform Sandals. The platform sandals feature multi-colored straps, one of which is of close resemblance to the powder blue color of the leather fringed jacket.
However, with the typical New York City temperature roughly at around 30 degrees at the moment, we had to question Christina's choice of footwear – that girl had to be cold in such summer appropriate shoes! What do you guys think of Christina Milian's denim on denim look? Did she totally rock it with the Rihanna sandals or was the look prematurely picked for the wintertime weather? Let us know!

While foreign military aid to the countries of Central Asia is unlikely to have a large impact on security in the region, it's unclear whether the positive effects will outweigh the negative ones. That's according to a comprehensive new report (pdf), "External Support for Central Asian Military and Security Forces," written by Dmitry Gorenburg for the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (and supported by the Open Society Foundations, which also funds EurasiaNet).
The 90-page paper is the most exhaustive accounting of military aid given to the Central Asian countries. While "Russia remains the main source of military and security assistance for most Central Asian states" the report also looks at American and other countries' military aid, Both the U.S. and Russian aid is based primarily on quid pro quos, Gorenburg argues: for Russia it is for the sake of "basing rights and a certain level of acquiescence on Russian foreign policy priorities" while for the U.S. it's been "assuring continued access for transferring supplies and personnel to Afghanistan."'
Gorenburg notes that the possibility of Central Asian militaries receiving excess U.S. military equipment from Afghanistan is insignificant relative to the amount of attention it gets:

S. D. Bowling, P. Achan, T. Briggs. pp. 407 CRC Press, 2014. ISBN-13: 978-1444148824
This first edition paperback is in a similar format to its elective companion Operative Orthopaedic Surgery: The Stanmore Guide, with the added input of authors from the Royal London Hospital trauma centre.
Initial chapters focus on principles, complications and fragility fractures with the rest concentrating on individual anatomical areas. These each follow a traditional format of pathology description, injury mechanism, classification, management principles and surgical techniques/approaches. They also cover consent, equipment required and theatre set up, areas often neglected in similar texts. The optimum approach is given, but the anatomical detail is not as deep one might find in an anatomy text book and this knowledge should be sought elsewhere. The chapters end with 'Pearls and Pitfalls' and MCQ and Viva questions for those studying for exams.
The stated aim of the book is to fall between the two extremes of a simplistic pocket handbook and a book focusing on the minutiae aimed at an expert trauma surgeon. It does strike this balance well, providing a practical guide for the trainee surgeon faced with both common and unfamiliar injuries. There is a United Kingdom focus with various United Kingdom guidelines quoted, but this book translates well for an international audience. It is not a comprehensive trauma manual but should be recommended to registrars/residents for background information and revision purposes. It would also be a useful aide-memoire for more senior surgeons managing cases they are less familiar with.

If you listen to some State House veterans, the State of Iowa doesn't have a spending problem, it has a revenue problem. We all know that Iowa's budget problems are self-afflicted and if you need proof one only needs to look at the DNR's $58 million resort on Lake Rathbun.
Yesterday we learned that the Honey Creek Resort lost almost a MILLION dollars in the first ten months of operation. Why on earth the State of Iowa is in the resort business is beyond me, but this is a perfect example of government sticking its nose in an area it has no business or experience being in.
Last fall, the DNR made a presentation about how well things are going at Honey Creek to the Legislature's Oversight Committee. One would think that the legislators were warned about the financial troubles of their new venture, but instead they were told about how many weddings were booked and how great things were at the resort. They were shown some nice photos and a few TV ads encouraging people to visit Honey Creek.
If you want proof of how meaningless the legislative oversight process is you just need to look at what the House Democrats said about the meeting.
"Members of the Legislature's Oversight Committee were provided an update on the status of Honey Creek Resort State Park. As of late September, the resort has officially been open one year. DNR reported that 31 weddings were booked in 2009 and 19 weddings are booked for 2010. They have booked many conferences and family reunions.
Although the resort saw a slow start, DNR reports they are now seeing higher guest reservations and the luxury cabins have been hugely successful. Additionally, the resort's marina is now open, offering boat slips for guests and lake boaters, boat rentals, and fishing opportunities for the whole family. The department said the challenges they are having include construction, weather and flooding, the economic downturn, not having an operating history, and repayment of the bonds that were issued to construct the park.
The resort is currently partnering with Iowa State University to convert their solar building into a new activities center for the resort. At their October meeting, the Natural Resources Commission is entering into a $153,000 agreement to purchase this renewable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly building."
Hmmmm what's missing here? Could it be the fact that this resort is becoming an albatross funded by Iowa taxpayers?
What should concern Republicans is the fact that one of Honey Creek's biggest supporters was former State Senator Jeff Lamberti. Lamberti was instrumental in passing the legislation that established the project. While I'm sure the lodge, cabins, and water park are pretty cool, we should have asked ourselves why should the state be involved in this enterprise. I'm pretty confident that Mr. Lamberti fashions himself as a conservative, but what conservative principles lead us to think that this is a constitutional function of the state?
What really disturbs me is the fact that I actually agree with Sen. Matt McCoy on something. McCoy has drafted a bill that would remove the state from managing the resort's daily operations. This is an argument that conservative Republicans should be making if you ask me.
It just makes me wonder where are our fiscally conservative Republicans in the legislature? If it were up to me, I'd rename the water park Boondoggle Bay.

Implementation of Data Cleaning/Scrubbing in Data Ware House for Efficient Data Quality
In this paper, the authors explain about the optimized data present in data warehouse. A data warehouse can have data with several impurities such as duplicate data, incomplete data, unflustered data etc. In this paper, they have combined 3 approaches to resolve these impurities. These approaches include duplicate data detection and elimination; apply association rule to collect related data and a fuzzy approach for the data classification. The reliability of data is because of its accuracy. A data warehouse contains bulk of data. It includes the data taken from different data centers. Because of this data ware house can contain some data impurities.

Why have sex with any old stud when you can have Big Cocks Sex any night of the week? These babes won't settle for anything less than a giant cock they can ride and face-fuck on camera.
The girth of the dick collection on BigCocksSex is fairly impressive and seems only to be growing at a steady pace. The content is mostly exclusive, though at least one of the titles I found is available elsewhere on DVD. New cock sucking and pussy-pounding scenes are added about once each week. Be sure to look carefully between each stiff erection when you join up: pre-checked cross-sales might sign you up for more than you bargained for.
There are 64 videos of huge, thick cocks being rammed between sensual lips and into tight pussies. You can save the videos in clips or as full-length films in great-quality Windows Media format.
Check out Georgia who doesn't want a cock that's just big, she needs a huge, black rod that can make her cum like nothing else can. She starts herself off with two dildos of unlikely proportions, then gets down to a session of sucking, fucking and taking a huge cock in her sweet ass.
There are 53 sets of photos, some of which are high-res. They follow the action in most of the scenes, so look for cock-hungry babes who love to stretch their tight pussies around only the biggest, juiciest dicks around. There is an online slideshow, which is helpful since there isn't a handy Zip file to save your favorite galleries in.
Even with a bulging collection like this one, bonuses round out your membership. There are 159 bonus feeds included in the mid-range admission fee. You'll also get a whopping 261 bonus videos featuring vibrators, sexy lesbians, anal antics, big cocks, big tits, ebony babes, blonde bombshells and even a little bondage when you're in the mood. There are no full-access bonus sites just yet, but including the live cams, it's still a huge amount of smut for a standard fee.
Overall, this is a great destination for anyone who wants nothing but the biggest dicks they can handle. The content on Big Cocks Sex isn't all exclusive, but the quality and quantity you get for your dollar makes it a worthwhile purchase.

New-style garlic gives fiddly cloves the chop
A NEW type of garlic that promises an end to the job of peeling and chopping fiddly, individual cloves has hit supermarket shelves.
It looks like normal garlic but has a single unsegmented bulb that can be cut and prepared like an onion. It also has a milder, more fragrant taste that avoids the tell-tale garlicky fingers, for years the scourge of many a chef.
The garlic is on sale exclusively at Lidl for £1.49 for a 250g basket containing about eight bulbs.
This isn't a species – it is the conditions under which it is grown that result in a single clove
It was discovered being grown by organic farmers in the foothills of the Himalayas in south China. It is planted in warm temperatures with a lot of sunlight – cold weather triggers garlic into segmenting.
Lidl said: "This isn't a species – it is the conditions under which it is grown that result in a single clove."

Thanks so much for the link to FORCE. I have joined up and posted a question for them. I found a genetic counselor in my city and emailed her. Hopefully she'll email me back this week. Part of me is hesitant to do it because I don't want to obsess about it. But then part of me is already obsessing about certain things so I figure this may help me relax (if it's negative), or give my doctors a reason to be more diligent (if it's positive). It seems like many who test positive for it end up doing prophylactic mastectomies and oopher's. I'd like to think I wouldn't let the fear get to me that way, but then I don't know. :o/ Definitely food for thought.

Let's Cook with Fabio Viviani and Bertolli Olive Oil
Developer: American Rice Inc.
Cost: $0.99
Runs on: iPhone
Website: http://letscookapp.com
During the 5th season of Top Chef, the cooking competition show, formidable competitor Fabio Viviani was voted as the Fan Favorite and became an instant celebrity chef. Since then the endorsements have rolled in, paving the way for this app with partner Bertolli Olive Oil.
Before you download this app, know that it's a monster in size at 1.8 GB! To put that in perspective, the base model of the iPhone 4 (16GB) would be able to fit less than 10 of these apps. For comparison, Jamie's Recipe's (Jamie Oliver's newest app) is 213MB and Mario Batali Cooks! is just 41.8MB.
A big reason for the size is that this app has a whopping total of three hours of video (5 HD hours in the iPad version)! To be fair, most other apps that offer a lot of video content, such as Mario Batali Cooks!, requires you to download individual videos when you decide to view them—often requiring a WiFi connection, which can be extremely inconvenient.
As you might expect, this app is pretty excited about recipes that require a splash of olive oil. And in total, there are over 100 step-by-step recipes—16 having a start-to-finish video.
Horizontal Issues
From the instant I opened this app I got the impression that it was built for the iPad first and the iPhone/iPod second. Launching the app you get a vertical images scroll for the navigation that includes: Fabio Tips, Video Recipes, More Recipes, and Olive Oils (on the very first time Fabio welcomes you). The entire app is designed in landscape mode (turn the phone on its side) and is hit and miss with the unique layout with some of the app unnecessarily wasting real estate.
For example, click More Recipes and you get a gorgeous horizontal images scroll of the recipe categories (good use of space). Then click a category i.e., Pasta & Pizza, and the Pizza & Pasta title takes up one-third of the screen on the left-side, leaving the other two-thirds to provide the name, prep time and serving size (bad use of space). This layout doesn't leave room for recipe thumbnails and also makes the other elements much smaller than they need to be.
Once you get beyond this layout hiccup, however, I think you'll really like what you see. Each recipe starts with a serving size, prep time, cook time and ingredient list. Click the "Let's Cook!" arrow and step-by-step slides will guide you from the start of the recipe to the end. These steps are very easy to read and understand, I just wish some images would accompany these steps.
Let's Go to the Movies
When you select a recipe from the Video Recipes section, you get a great image of the final dish with options to view the step-by-step instructions or watch the video—among other options. The videos have a very high production value and are thorough—complete with Fabio charm. These are not short one-minute clips either; these are food show segments.
In addition to the great content, this app also includes the comfort features you'd expect with a polished pay app, such as a favorites list, shopping lists (that can be e-mailed), social network integration, a nice search engine and more.
Overall, this app is nice with some very worthwhile content for only $0.99. With all of the bolded and obvious Bertolli plugs throughout the app, though, I wouldn't mind if this was just a free ad-supported app. All in all, though, a very worthwhile app that's worth the 1.8GB on your phone.

When you buy a Tarp Tent, a silnylon tarp shelter, or a hammock tarp, it's best to seal the seams using McNett's Silnet (also called Gear Aid Silnet) in order to make them waterproof in the rain. Most of these shelters are not seam sealed or seam taped, so you have to do it yourself.
Here is my simple guide to do that.
You need:
- A brush that you don't mind throwing away afterwards
- A tin can or something to mix up in
- A bit of card, or a very steady hand
- Damp cloth
- Mcnett Silnet, which is sticky messy stuff
- Paint thinner
Start with mixing at 3 to 1 paint thinner in a tin with Silnet until it is a workable viscous paste that can be easily applied with the brush to the seams. The whole point is to get it to soak into the stitching where the water could penetrate. If you were to apply the Silnet without thinning, it cures too thick and can flake off leaving a messy look.
Note: You want to seal the seams on the outside or top face of the fabric only. One coat is usually enough. Really.

Skye: This April 8th, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a press release. In years past, she has attended events and spoken in favor of better conditions for the Romani people, and so it is a spark of hope to see her continue to show her support.
"On behalf of President Obama and the people of the United States, I want to send best wishes to all Roma as they mark International Roma Day. Today we celebrate the history, impact and culture of Romani people. From music and art to science and literature, Romani people have contributed in ways large and small to the fabric of countless societies.
But too often and in too many places, they are forced to live on the margins. They are segregated, beaten, and systematically discriminated against. They are denied access to an education and to jobs. Despite a decade of progress, during this global economic downturn incidents of anti-Roma rhetoric and violence are on the rise..."

Let Felix be the Last
In 2006, Oxford University allowed cameras into its laboratory to film Felix, a monkey scheduled to undergo invasive surgery on his brain and a long succession of tests. We at PETA were deeply affected by the plight of this small, lonely animal in his cage, unaware of the horrors ahead. We campaigned for Felix to be released to a sanctuary that we had found for him. Sadly, in 2007, we learned from Oxford that Felix was dead - killed routinely at the end of the experiments conducted on him. No television cameras were there.
Our campaign was about more than one monkey, however, and Felix's tormented life and premature death only inspire us to work even harder to prevent more animals from suffering as he did.
Felix was used in a sequence of experiments lasting a year. He was trained to perform repetitive movements and then had electrodes surgically implanted in his brain. Following this, Felix was deliberately brain-damaged to create the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. After that, the effects on his brain and ability to move were measured in more tests, and then he was killed. For a year, this sensitive, bewildered animal was subjected to escalating abuses: deprivation, manipulation, invasive surgery, disability and eventually death. The official licence permitting this work allowed the highest level of suffering legally permitted in the UK - what is clinically called "substantial severity".
It is too late to save Felix, but it isn't too late to save others. As part of our ongoing campaign, we have forced Oxford to reveal information about the experiments on Felix that they wanted to keep secret - in fact, it is information of a kind never released to the public in the UK before.
There is also a golden opportunity to help animals in laboratories before us right now. The European Union is reviewing its law on animal experiments - a law that controls the fate of more than 12 million animals every year. A motion in the European Parliament in 2006 called for measures to end experiments on primates, and after a sustained campaign by many organisations, including PETA, it was signed by a majority of MEPs. This was an inspiring demonstration of reason and compassion by politicians and a sign that campaigning pressure works. However, it is vital that we transform that goodwill into action. The new law is now passing through the complex European legislative process, and PETA is working hard to gain as much for primates and every other animal as we can. Please support us by taking the action below. Felix's sad, lonely and needless death has to count for something. We must remember him as we work to help thousands like him.
You Can Help - PETA is calling on the UK government to do all in its power to ensure that the new EU law stops as much animal suffering as possible. Please write to the Home Secretary to ask him to fight for animals in the European negotiations on the new law.

Prakash PD
Ashtavaidyan Vaidyamadham Valiya Narayanan Namboodiri –1 (1882 - 1959), was a well known physician of the family, who is remembered by many, for his astonishing diagnostic skills and simple and effective treatments. He was also an expert in detecting Maranalakshana (the signs of death). He was a confident and daring physician of his time, for he brought many complicated treatments back into practice. One such treatment was Kutipraveshikam - a treatment to arrest the ageing process. It is interesting to note that while extensive researches are still going on in various medical disciplines all over the world to arrest the ageing process, here India there already existed a system of medicine which had a successful approach to it and physicians who practiced it. Nowadays people do not show much interest in this treatment because of its duration. Siravedha (cutting of vein to let out impure blood) was another rare process of treatment he brought into practice.

Posted on 04/22/2013 6:58:45 AM PDT by marshmallow
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, then in his mid-30s, spent six days confined to his Jerusalem hotel, studying the Letters of Saint Paul to the Corinthians
When Shimon Peres flies to Italy next week to formally ask Pope Francis I to visit Israel, the president will actually be inviting the newly elected pontiff to make his second trip to the Holy Land. Forty years ago, The Times of Israel has ascertained, Jorge Mario Bergoglio made an unfortunately timed first visit.
It was early October 1973, and Bergoglio, then in his mid-30s, had been in Rome completing a course for his new job as the Provincial Superior of the Society of Jesus in Argentina. He flew to Israel intending to tour widely, but arrived at the very start of the Yom Kippur War.
Sources in the Argentinian Jewish community, with whom Bergoglio has a long and warm relationship, said the rumor is that he stayed in Israel for only a few hours before being evacuated because of the war. Not quite.
In fact, the Vatican told The Times of Israel, Bergoglio was here for about a week, but the war certainly caused difficult problems for the visit.
On his first day and a half, Bergoglio was able to visit holy sites in Jerusalem, including the church-filled neighborhood of Ein Kerem, and Bethlehem, said Father Federico Lombardi, the director of the Holy See Press Office.
After that, however, because of the fighting, Bergoglio was unable to tour further. Instead, he spent the next six days confined to the American Colony Hotel, on the seamline between West and East Jerusalem.
He used the time studying the Letters of Saint Paul to the Corinthians, Lombardi said, using books that he borrowed from the library of the Jerusalem branch of the Pontifical Biblical Institute.
Since beginning his papacy last.......

Pope Leo XIII — During one of his audiences, a man claimed to have had the opportunity to see Pius IX at one of his last audiences before his death in 1878. Upon hearing the remarkable story, Leo smiled and replied, "If I had known that you were so dangerous to popes, I would have postponed this audience further".

text: Hardware or network or something else. A few days ago working night shift I had a chance to play with a friends sprint EVO side by side with my Droid eris as she had never used her Bump app and wanted to try it out. both phones on andriod 2.1. Like most areas there is no 4g coverage in our area so both phones on 3g (we were at work with no wi-fi access. well its there but we cant access it). So out of curiousity to see how much faster the evo would pull up websites (basically expecting to see how bad my eris sucked compared to one of the best andriod phones with superior hardware) to my suprise my eris pulled up 9 out of 10 sites a little FASTER to my disbelief! I repeated this at least 10 different times with 10 different sites including some with flash. Each time I killed all running apps and pushed the links at the exact same time with phones side by side. once or twice the EVO pulled up a site just as fast. what the heck is going on here? In fact the whole general phone experience was IDENTICLE except for the obvious (bigger everything, kick stand-feature I wanted MOST as I sit mine on make shift stands all the time wishing for one, HDMI, flash if you use the camera which I didn't play with, front face camera, a few exclusive apps...all stuff besides the size/kick stand and perhaps the front face camera at some point I'd use infrequently to never. for example my canon SD780is pocket camera is half the size of the evo, shoots HD video, is worlds more capable and cant think of one reason carrying it and my small phone would be less ideal than carrying the large evo around. same with HDMI- anywhere I am able to pull out a phone to watch videos on a big screen is a place where I dont need to use a phone as a video player. thats why I bought a smart phone to use IT where I CANT watch a full size monitor). Basically left me feeling an HTC phone on a particular andriod operating system is an HTC phone on an andriod operating system and all these reviews I've read about this one being excellent and that one being so so are extremely exaggerated in every day use. even functions operating a few milliseconds faster or webpages pulling up a few seconds faster wouldn't change that. even she commented "s*& so this is basically the same phone just smaller" so we both felt the experience wasn't much different.

If Montana ends up in play then we are in for a long and horrible night. Thankfully I don't think it is in play. The whole election sure is though. A lot on here think it is locked up for McCain but it really is one that either side can win.
I think Montana is just 3 electoral votes though, so hopefully it won't even matter as far as election night tracking.
MT may be in play, I doubt it, the MSM is simply spewing whatever they have been told by a poll, they never analyze them, only "According to..blah blah blah"
McCain has a good shot, that is as far as I'll go.
If it is close, we may be left hanging on election night as key states depend on provisional ballots...i.e., phony votes that even the local officials had to set aside as questionable.

EE's Lewis Earns Awards

The heads of the intelligence services of four north African countries are due to meet Wednesday in Algiers to plan joint work against terrorism and Al Qaeda, a diplomatic source in Bamako said Tuesday.
"Chiefs of the intelligence services of Mali, Niger, Mauritania and Algeria will meet Wednesday in Algiers to discuss setting up a combined intelligence centre to fight efficiently against terrorism in the Sahel," the source told AFP.
"But to be efficient, the anti-Al Qaeda coalition needs to open up to countries like Chad, Libya and Morocco, which have experience in combating Islamist extremism," the source added.
No official confirmation of the meeting could be obtained from Algiers.
The talks are scheduled to take place three days after Sunday's meeting of the chiefs of general staff of the four countries in Tamanrasset in the south of Algeria, where they made known their readiness to step up the struggle against Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
AQIM is active in all four countries and operates across their desert borders.
"At this meeting, there were differences and points in common. We're all agreed that it is necessary to fight terrorism. Now we need to agree on how, down to the finest detail," the source said.
In mid-September, AQIM claimed responsibility for taking seven hostages in northern Niger, who have since been transferred to northeastern Mali, close to the Algerian border.
The hostages were kidnapped by an armed gang in a September 16 raid on a uranium mining town.

Government APIs Aren't A Backup Plan
When the government shuts down and takes most of its data with it, the public needs to have a backup plan.
The laws still apply to us. Politicians are [still raising money](http://politicalpartytime.org/party/35802/). We still have a population, unemployment, and social problems. But if you want to look up some of those basic facts, well, [Data.gov can't help you](http://data.gov), you'll have to ask about [those campaign donations](http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2013/10/01/closure-of-disclosure-no-fec-filings-due-during-shutdown/) later, and [the Census will get back to you](http://outage.census.gov/closed.html) someday.
It's not 1995 anymore — the government lives on the Internet, and so do we. We can't just lose access to all the information they put online. We all understand why the [Internet Archive](http://archive.org) keeps the Web on file for us. The only reliable way to preserve data online is [to make copies](http://www.lockss.org/about/what-is-lockss/) — and the more copies, the better!
That's why **a government API will never be enough**. It's just so much easier to copy data when it's directly downloadable in bulk. APIs can be extremely useful, but they also centralize control and form a [single point of failure](http://fcw.com/articles/2013/10/01/private-sector-apps-api-shutdown.aspx). Ultimately, [APIs are optional](http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2012/03/21/government-do-you-really-need-an-api/) — data is a necessity.
Bulk data is just downloading files. The Internet was built for this. Downloading files is a much more straightforward backup process than constructing batteries of queries to APIs that weren't designed for wholesale copying. Depending on the API, a full backup may be so difficult as to be infeasible.
Just as importantly: hosting static files requires fewer people, smaller systems, and less technical expertise. It's vastly simpler and cheaper than hosting a live, "smart" data service. In the face of hard funding decisions, that's going to matter.
It's safe to say that in the community of people who depend on government data, **things feel different now**. Now that it's been made clear that this data can suddenly disappear with the political crisis of the moment, the open government community will be taking very seriously their role in preserving it.
* Code for America [assembled a backup](http://forever.codeforamerica.org/Census-API/shutdown-2013.html) of much of the Census' data. * Cornell's Legal Information Institute [rescued various data verification files](http://www.law.cornell.edu/federal/loc_schema) from the Library of Congress. * The Library also [almost withdrew access](http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2013/09/30/what-happens-to-gov-in-a-shutdown/) to the work of Congress, and Sunlight has [the APIs](http://sunlightlabs.github.io/congress/) and [bulk data](https://github.com/unitedstates/congress/wiki) ready in case they ever do. * Mark Headd, Philadelphia's Chief Data Officer, wrote today [extolling the virtues](http://civic.io/2013/10/02/communities-matter/) of community-operated data portals that the government doesn't unilaterally control.
Once the federal government picks up the pieces and starts working on their open data strategy again, they've got to acknowledge that they may not always be there for you, much as they want to be.
That means agencies should:
* **Publish downloadable bulk data** before or concurrently with building an API. * Explicitly **encourage reuse and republishing** of their data. (Considering public reuse of data [a risk to the public](http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2013/09/27/the-library-of-congress-really-really-does-not-want-to-give-you-your-data/) is not recommended.) * **Document what data will remain** during a shutdown, and keep this up all the time. Don't wait until the day before (or of) a shutdown. * **Link to alternative sources** for their data. Keep these links up during a shutdown.
We've got to be able to keep a copy of our government's data, just as we make backups of our photos, the Web, and everything else that's truly important to us. Government information is too vital for it to be dished out only in narrow, complicated pipes.
For our government to be a platform, it needs to let the public hold them up.

CLARKSTON, Ga. -- The GBI is searching for a man spotted on surveillance video during a fatal gas station fight.
The fight broke out at a Texaco gas station on East Ponce De Leon in Clarkston on St. Patrick's Day. The fight between two patrons escalated to involve a third person, 40-year-old Ernest Bing. During that confrontation, Bing was shot. He was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital where he died.
Another person not involved in the fight was also shot in the arm and transported. He was treated and released.
Both Clarkston Police and the GBI are investigating the fatal shooting. "This is an active homicide investigation and critical interviews are continuing," a GBI spokesperson said in a press release Monday.
Investigators also released two still frame shots from surveillance video from inside the gas station on the night of the fight. The person in the video "was present at the altercation, has pertinent information, and is in need is being identified," according to the GBI.
Anyone with information about the man is urged not to approach him, but instead to contact the Clarkston Police Department at (404) 296-6489 or the GBI at (770) 388-5019.

THE Scottish Government's long-standing commitment has been to be an active and progressive member of the European Union. That remains as true today as it was a year ago at the European referendum.
We believe that the best option for the UK as a whole, and for Scotland, would be the one Scotland voted for only a year ago by a massive 24 per cent margin – to remain in the EU.
We believe that membership of the EU, for all its imperfections, would provide the best possible future for Scotland and the UK and would best protect all our interests. It would also allow us to continue to make a strong, constructive contribution to the future of Europe.
Nonetheless, given the difficulties that exist in this unprecedented situation, the Scottish Government has offered and will continue to offer compromises in the national interest. However, that does not change our view that Brexit is an expensive, self-defeating mistake. In the negotiations between the UK Government and the EU which start today, the Scottish Government believes that the UK Government has to make clear at the outset that it has decided to accept, even as a transition, continuing membership of the European single market. We can help them do that. The Scottish Government published on December 20 a paper titled "Scotland's Place in Europe".
This made a strong and cogent case for the best approach available in the absence of full EU membership. It proposed that: a) The UK should remain in the European single market, through the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement. Given the many years, perhaps decades, of uncertainty involved in the pursuit of bespoke deals with the EU and other world trade partners, we believe Scotland's interests would be best served if the UK retained its membership of the EEA.
b) Differentiated options should be explored which would allow for Scotland to remain within the European single market, even if the outcome for the rest of the UK is to leave.
c) The powers of the Scottish Parliament should be significantly expanded. For example, powers to be "repatriated" from Brussels that are already within the current responsibilities of the Scottish Parliament, such as agriculture and fisheries, must remain fully devolved.
Whilst we engaged in the process of negotiation in good faith there was no meaningful, open-minded engagement on any, and indeed all, of our proposals (or anyone else's) from the UK Government.
Consequently, despite our best efforts and the loss of its overall majority in the General Election, the UK Government has seemed intent on a "hard" Brexit – a Brexit that will find Scotland outside of the European single market and customs union, with our exporters facing a raft of new obstacles to trade with their most significant market.
Yet the blueprint for a so-called soft, or open, Brexit already exists. The proposals – in detail – are contained in Scotland's Place in Europe. Membership of the single market, promotion of economic protection over arbitrary controls on immigration, including movement of people, continuity of funding in key areas, continued close collaboration with the EU in security and research, and more powers for the devolved administrations. These are all in that document, as are the means to achieve them for the UK as a whole, or for the devolved nations as distinct entities.
None of the devolved administrations is involved in today's negotiations. There must be more meaningful and wider engagement than we have seen to date and the devolved administrations must have a seat at the negotiating table with the EU. That change needs to start right now, not least because the Scottish Government and the Welsh Government have both offered constructive and practical ideas that would help the UK step back from the cliff edge on which it now stands. Theresa May has made a complete mess of everything she has had charge of since she became Prime Minister. She has done huge damage to the UK and to the nations that go to make it up. Things must change, and they must start changing today.

Tool 19: Rehab
If we've tried everything and still can't break free, perhaps we need some time to get away from society completely to be able to focus fully on recovery for a period of time. Just as in drug and alcohol addiction, often the withdrawal symptoms are simply too hard to bear. The only way to break free is to be under supervision and be in a place where we simply cannot access our "drug" in anyway, for a while. Here are a few ideas that the GYE network has put together:
1) The Meadows (www.themeadows.org) is a multi-disorder inpatient addiction treatment facility specializing in the treatment of a broad range of addictions.
2) The Experiential Healing Center of Tennessee (www.ehcmemphis.com) offers group therapy and a trauma healing workshops.
3) Torah & The 12-Steps (www.torahtwelvesteps.org) is a rehab option in Florida, run by a religious Jew who developed a 12-Step Torah approach to recovering from addictions. He currently deals mainly with other types of addictions, but he is interested in expanding his work to include sexual addiction as well.
4) Sexual Recovery (www.sexualrecovery.com) is based in Los Angeles and treats clients from all over the world, providing intensive programming that works to eliminate compulsive, addictive or offending sexual behavior. Their 5 and 10-day Intensive Programs (IOP's) offer focused daily psycho-education and individual therapy, as well as structured social support and spousal involvement and are a well-established, functional treatment alternative for those who cannot afford the time or money for a 4-5 week residential stay. (Patients can stay in a local recovery house or with friends).
5) See www.GentlePath.com (Dr. Patrick Carnes) to discover more rehab options in the U.S.
6) Retorno in Israel is a center for treatment of addictions. It is run by religious staff and has seen much success in treating the religious community for a wide range of addictive behaviors. For more information visit the website: www.retorno.org, or contact:
United States: Pinny Shreiber, E-Mail: Pinny [at] retorno [dot] org, Tel: 718-285-9815

Brass Ring Academy and Cabaret
The New England Carousel Museum in Bristol, CT is hosting the "Brass Ring Academy and Cabaret," a steampunk festival to raise funds for the museum, on January 4th, 2014. There will be panel discussions, performances, and vendors:
On Jan. 4, 2014, some of the best-known authors, performers and presenters in the rapidly growing Steampunk genre will gather at the Carousel Museum for an all-ages day of classes, a High Tea and an evening of performances for ages 18 and up. The regular museum exhibits will also be open, plus a variety of vendors to delight and tempt you with their creations. In addition to offering education and fun, the day will raise funds help repair the Museum's roof.
Steampunk is a new trend with old roots. What if modern technology had been invented in the Victorian age and was powered by steam? What if the works of Mary Shelley, H.G. Wells, and Jules Verne were fact instead of fiction? Like Steampunk itself, this event combines Victoriana, fantasy, brass gadgetry, and fun.
Presenters include author Mark P. Donnelly, recently featured in the Wall Street Journal for his teaching of bartitsu, the martial art mentioned in Sherlock Holmes stories. Also appearing will be author Thomas Willeford, creator of the brass and leather gadgetry seen in TV shows like Castle and Oddities, "The Victorian Lady" Kandie Carle, magician Daniel Greenwolf, and many others. Classes include everything from flower language, etiquette and dance to bartitsu, DIY gadgetry, and spiritualism. The High Tea at 4 p.m. will feature delicacies from around the Victorian world, teas and other beverages and period parlor games. The evening show features: White Elephant Burlesque Society; Daniel Greenwolf; Desert Moon Dancers; bands Frenchy and the Punk and Them Damn Hamiltons; and a special surprise group.
Period dress or costumes are not required but are highly encouraged.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Football' started by Rural, Nov 9, 2013.
Flipping between the two games is striking.
Bama-LSU=filet mignon
Texas-WV=hot pockets
Which Hot Pockets are we talking about? Ham and Cheese? Those are pretty good.
There's more wrong in that post than our offense can muster all season.
Let me guess, you like the pizza ones? Why am I not surprised?
I can eat a lot of different things, but this stuff is not on that list.
I'd be better off drizzling chocolate and cherry pie filling over movie popcorn and washing that down with some nicely sweetened melted lard, with a little salt lick there for flavor.
So then that's a no to hot pockets?
I would say that I'd pass, but I'm afraid that the post would be incomplete.
You are dead to me......
I prefer the steak and cheese ones myself.
Would you eat hot pockets on game day if it led to an ISU offense scoring more points?
Who's calling the plays? Have they practiced these plays?
I don't know. I'm not sure about the connection, or about my stomach.
So you're telling me I need to be really, really drunk to enjoy the Texas v WV game?
Hot pockets are great.
Why when they should take Art Briles. He would turn Texas to Baylor is now but better. Plus you would put Baylor back to where they belong. So you kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Baylor won't have any issues finding a good head coach with all the talent sitting in Waco right now on the offensive side of the ball.
What are you talking about? WVU-UT is ridiculously entertaining. Bama-LSU is fine, but it's kinda lulling me to sleep. Only difference is in the awesome CBS production values vs. the craptastic Fox amateur hour.

Chris C. at Discount Brake & Auto Repair responded on 01/16/2014
When we finished the repairs on your vehicle, we marked your receipt paid by credit card....but your credit card was declined. You told my service writer you bring back the money for the repairs. You did not come back. When you came back for an oil change, I asked you about the previous ticket. I assume because your ticket was marked paid my credit card, that you assumed you paid the previous bill. The day you came in, my service writer was not in. At any time, feel free to stop by and we will discuss what happened. I would like to clear up the confusion.
