A goal of our work together will be to help you identify and understand the conflicts that may be causing you difficulty, and to help you overcome them. Or perhaps negative thinking patterns cause you to experience sadness, loneliness, hopelessness, fear, or other unwanted emotions."

"A good therapist helps you get to know yourself fully. Better understanding your motivations, thoughts, and feelings reveals more useful, fulfilling choices. Exploring what is getting in your way of having deeply satisfying relationships is essential to your well-being. I often address issues of: life purpose & transition, authentic communication, relationship transparency & vulnerability, finding/creating fulfilling relationship, risk-taking & leadership, integrating presence in daily living, confidence & self-esteem, and active & healthy living."

"The three core things I believe about psychotherapy: 1. People are inherently healthy. 2. Therapy is not just about symptoms. 3. There is nothing mysterious about whether therapy is working. Traditionally, psychotherapy has been associated with illness while emotional health has been left to the self-help movement. The theory I practice sees everyone as essentially healthy. As a result, there is no ceiling on "getting better." People with symptoms want to feel more like him or herself which I aim to accomplish as quickly as possible. Someone coping pretty well, however, might seek help to become more effective."
Gay Clients
"Therapy with me will have you leaving my office with tangible ways, for you or you and your partner, to facilitate changes in what you want in your life from the very first session. I will challenge you hard but with compassion. I enjoy helping people develop an enthusiasm for the process of self-discovery and healing. I make authentic contact with people help them cultivate a taste for their own Truths while making space to grieve the loss of old ways or relating to people and the world around them. I see starting therapy is a sign of intelligence."

"Life satisfaction is directly linked to how we cope with life's challenges. When we participate in escapist behavior (drinking too much, overindulging on sugar, avoiding confrontation, Netflix binges), we can feel stuck and hopeless. We get caught in these painful ways of coping because they work, at least temporarily. I specialize in helping clients get unstuck by incorporating brain-based education and suggestions for change. It's a simple process but hardly easy, which is why I'm here to help."

"GET WHAT YOU WANT, AND IMPROVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH ASSERTIVENESS TRAINING: Most of us don't like conflict, and some of us worry that by expressing our true feelings and desires, we will be seen as selfish or confrontational. We fear rejection, so we push our needs aside, and are then disappointed when others don't really see us. If this cycle repeats, we may withdraw, and can feel isolated, resentful, depressed, and anxious. Being assertive is often confused with being self-centered, and even aggressive. Learning the difference can pave the way to greater self expression, and life satisfaction."
Gay Clients
"Whether struggling in relationships or having difficulty managing life stressors, therapy is a place where you can find some support. In our work together, you will get a sense that I am really trying to understand you and your experience by listening deeply, openly, with care and curiosity. People who work with me often report a sense of relief and ease. Feeling an acceptance for all that you bring in, we will work together to find ways to grow and make meaningful lasting change."
Gay Clients

"I often meet with people who are pretty clear that some good help could really change things for the better-- they want to feel better but have found that self-help plans and behavior-focused therapy have not produced lasting, deep change. These people want to understand themselves better, and how they think about relationships in general. They have a sense that a strong, insight-oriented therapy could shed new light on old, tired-out problems and produce much desired life change."
Gay Clients
"You realize what you're doing no longer works for you. You are ready to learn new coping skills and techniques to reduce stress and anxiety. Life transitions have led you to this point, and you are seeking therapy to assist you in healing and moving forward into the life you want to live. You long to thrive rather than merely survive each day. I believe that each person carries the resources within themselves to create the life they envision. You will learn to access your inner resources to navigate life experiences and deepen your connection to Self."

Roddy Doyle book sent to UK prisons to encourage reading among inmates
Dublin author Roddy Doyle's book Dead Man Talking, has been put on a list of novels that will be sent to prisoners in the UK as part of a campaign to encourage reading.
It joins a book about a man's daring escape from a prison camp.
The organisers of World Book Night are also sending books to hospitals, schools and colleges. Twenty three prisons will share the book by Doyle (inset) and also copies of Escape From Camp-14 by American journalist Blaine Harden.
It tells the true story of Shin Dong-hyuk who was born into a North Korean political prison and eventually escaped to China before settling in the United States.
Other books being sent into prisons include Karl Pilkington's The Moaning Of Life and Prime Suspect by Lynda La Plante.
World Book Night is celebrated on April 23 which is Unesco International Day of the Book and the anniversary of the birth and death of William Shakespeare.

When the Homer Junior High wrestling team won the Illinois Elementary School state title in 2013, it did so with six members of its team now on the Lockport High School varsity roster.
At the time, Porters coach Josh Oster knew he may have something specials in that group.
"We knew coming in that this was a group that could win something depending how things shook out and it shook out right," Oster said.
What shook out for Lockport was a 33-20 win over Montini Catholic to claim the Class 3A IHSA state title and sew up an undefeated 29-0 campaign.
"This is a special team and a special year and this was a great day," Oster said. "Montini is awesome – they wrestle hard and have fun. I couldn't imagine a better atmosphere for this dual. There was no tension between teams. The kids love wrestling and hats off to them for wrestling their asses off. Coach Izzy [Israel Martinez] had them ready and it was a fun dual."
Senior Abdullah Assaf said the Porters' title and record should be enough to shut the book on the season.
"We are undisputed, undefeated champions," he said. "Teams can talk all they want, no one has beat us and no one will beat us this year. We won by 13 points in the final. If you want to dispute that we are the best team in the state, Class 1A, 2A, 3A, you can come find us at Lockport and we will wrestle you. I don't know what else we can show you to prove we are the best."
In the finals, Montini jumped out to a lead over the Porters, taking a 7-0 lead after the opening two matches and 145 and 152 pounds.
Then, Lockport turned up the heat.
Individual state champion Trevell Timmons, who also won an individual title for the Homer team in 2013, defeated Montini's Matthew Ortiz 7-4.
"We are so excited," Timmons said. "We won it all. I got two titles now, the individual and the team. The best way to end it is with an undefeated state title. All the schools that said we would be upset – we showed them. We proved that we are No. 1."
Nicholas Dado (170) then defeated Anthony Geraci 12-5 and Chandler Proszek (182) beat Peter Christiansen 4-2.
It was then when the Porters brought out the big boys.
Lockport earned three straight pins from Payton Fernandes (195) over Patrick Peters (1:45), Yousif Salah (220) over Christian Pirog (2:38) and Ronald Tucker (285) over Michael McNicholas (2:50).
"We knew they were super tough 106 to 170 and we knew that we needed to make some hay up top," Oster said. "It is hard to predict pins in the state finals, so we were counting on major decisions from Payton, Yousif and Ronald, knowing that if we got pins from all of them we would be in the drivers' seat and they came through with that."
Tucker said the guys at the top weights understood their roles.
"The key to our success this year has been 160 and up. We haven't really had the bigger guys, but this year we did," Tucker said.
After Tucker, Montini earned three straight wins, but only earned one bonus point.
Then at 126, Brendan Ramsey, who was also part of the Homer state team, sealed the match for the Porters with a 14-7 win over Devin Hoovel.
"I went out there and did what I needed to do and make my team happy," Ramsey said. "We have been working our tails off all year and this is the greatest feeling ever."
The Porters reached the state finals by defeating Marmion Academy in the quarterfinals and beating Lincoln-Way West 50-9 in the semifinals.
Montini beat Deerfield 41-27 in the quarters and upset two-time defending champions Oak Park-River Forest 29-26 in the semis.
"When Montini upset OP-RF, not only did it help us, but with all the trash talking OP-RF had been doing, it wasn't a good look for them," Tucker said.
The team trophy was the third in a row for Lockport as it took third last season and fourth the year before.
Assaf, a champion on the 2013 Homer squad, said he is happy to earn a state title for the program and his head coach.
"I wouldn't be the wrestler, I wouldn't be the person. I can't thank these guys enough. I love our wrestlers and our coaches, everyone has helped me – even if it has been the smallest little piece," he said. "Especially Josh, he has been like a father to me and I am so happy we could get that title for him. I know he has wanted it just as bad as I wanted my individual one and if I couldn't have mine, I am happy we got him his."

Submit interesting technologies that Tesla should use.
Submit interesting technologies that Tesla should use.
Yet another trolling for proprietary technological insight thread.
What? Evil forces are trying to steal my suggestion for a return for analogue controls? All my wonderful ideas are available to anyone with cash. I can suggest a hollow tree nearby to make the drop in case you do not want to be identified. Tesla has the first option of course.
I've simply been in the ditches for far too long to the point where I see deception and subterfuge and IP infringement everywhere...I'll be alright one of these days.
Static Parking automation:
Considering some features I'd like to have in my Tesla which could be made possible via the sensors used for automated driving, I wonder if some 'static parking' features are (or could be) possible, such as:
1- Having the parked car sensing another cark parking in front of or behind it, and automatically moving either forwards or backwards by some inches to avoid being hit by the moving car (while of course avoiding hitting other parked cars) in case it comes dangerously close.
2- Similarly, the same car could detect a nearby car leaving it's parking space and slide 'out of the way' to let it get out more easily. It should then move back to a reasonable distance from remaining cars. We don't want our car to be stuck with no free room to leave the parking place...
I believe one VW implementation had the wheels rotate 90° ...
This is a invention i have thought about since i was 16 and never have shared it on the internet until now but because i want to see the electric car industry succeed i will now share it with tesla motors since your the leading electric car industry. if this technology works it would be nice to see some cash lol
here is my idea,
i planned on building a model of this invention but do not have the cash to do so.
i want to build a car that can recharge it's battery while it drives. what i plan to do is build a all electric vehicle that has a electric motor to propel it forward Then have two separate batteries to start the car off with and have a computer tell it when to change back and forth when the battery is getting low and then have a strong enough electric generator in the front or rear of the vehicle and if its all wheel drive have the electric generator in the middle. and after that is done i planned on connecting the electric generator to the propelling motor/motors to generate the energy lost back to the vehicle and have enough energy for electronics allowing the vehicle to never run out of energy therefore you would never have to recharge the battery.
if you have any questions email me
Stupid idea often suggested. All the rolling energy originates in the first battery, so getting a little back is just adding more drag and drain to it. Literally not worth the effort to even discuss.
@grayjohn1989, read couple messages above yours to see why that doesn't work.
@ grayjohn1989 | January 20, 2015
Your "invention" is a conceptual perpetual motion machine.
Although many people have imagined such "perpetual motion machines", no one has yet make one that works. Furthermore, the very strong consensus among physicists is that such machines are theoretically impossible.
Please do some internet research on "perpetual motion machines" before you clutter the Tesla forums with suggestions that you have proven all of those theoretical physicists wrong.
Hi, today I've read that Tesla plans to introduce a "home" battery.
I would have interest in such a thing but it should do for me more. Because I'm living in an urban area the only charging option for me is solar panels . But that's not enough (windmill would not be accepted by my neighbors)and I would have some ideas to make a better utilization, even make a business of it for better utilization of green energy. I would love to exchange a few words with someone from Tesla team.
@lu_so01, Tesla representatives don't participate in these forums, so if you want to get in touch with them, you would need to contact them through the contact form on their website.
I don't think the following links were posted here. Check it out...
Could Tesla incorporate microturbines in the suspension system to take advantage of the air pressure and generate electricity while the car is on the road...
IMO, Tesla employs thousands of technically competent people, most likely including experts in every relevant field. Why do folks here presume that some web site that caught their attention has any content that Tesla isn't aware of?
I trust Tesla to sort out the technical issues and continue its cutting-edge innovations in BEV technology. They don't need our help for that. An endless series of suggestions from amateurs is merely a distraction.
Girnnin has it right, spot on. Trust Tesla, they are doing great!
Go go Tesla!
It's not appreciated to post links without description. As it happens, those are years-old news.
@ Enthusiast (January 3, 2013)
<< Tesla should tr to incorporate a generator into their their car : .... >>
The very first thing you learn about Tesla cars, and BEVs in general, is that, except for regenerative braking, on-board electric energy generation has been eliminated, because of the bulk, weight, noise, pollution, and risks it comports.
In exchange, you get a bunch of payload that you carry along in silence due to the energy stored in a space-saving battery that you replenish at low cost from the grid.
To try to bring back into the car some on-board energy generator is counterproductive and destructive of the general purpose of a BEV, except perhaps for the temporary use of a compact, quiet, chemical generator (like a Metal-Air "Battery") that you take along on occasion for a longer trip, unless you have enough Super Chargers on the way.
Otherwise, electric energy generation belongs with your home or your grid suppliers, no longer with your road vehicles, which have to maximize payload and comfort.
Those shock absorbers would generate teeny weeny amount of energy. A tiny fraction of rolling losses. Would not make any difference, and added complexity could actually cause more losses.
For some heavy off-road vehicle they could make sense.
Hey all, I am a diehard Tesla and Elon Musk fan as well and wanted to share some of the ideas that have been floating around in my head for about 20 years. Here are my top 5.
IDEA 1) Integrate an air compressor into all vehicles to monitor and self-inflate all tires.
The big 3 things that are touted as needing maintenance on a Tesla are tires, brakes, and windshield wipers. By adding a built in air compressor we can help reduce the need on 2 of those limitations.
A couple thoughts on tires:
•Biggest gains come from have properly inflated and pressured tires.
•Spare tires are beginning to become no longer included in about 20% of new vehicles. This trend will probably continue as it helps reduce weight which increases mileage. Consequently, some people are concerned about being stranded by not having a way to change it themselves.
The integration of an air compressor that can automatically channel air into a tire that is non calibrated or losing pressure allows the driver to know exactly what is going on. It tells the driver how long they have by calculating the rate of pressure loss versus the air compressor's attempt at compensation.
IDEA 2) Remove the windshield wipers and replace them with compressed air nozzles.
In addition, by piggybacking off of idea 1 and reusing the same air compressor, please consider the removal of the windshield wipers form vehicles and replace their functionality via the air compressor. For example, inside airplanes, each passenger has a series of air nozzles above their head. Can we merely fit 3 or 4 to the front bottom of the windshield and thereby eliminate another component? This will help beneficial for the earth, less distraction from the driver, and at the same time require no replacement parts making the Tesla a more efficient design.
IDEA 3) Automatically lighten or darken windows via the same chemical that is used in optical eyeglasses ala Transition Lenses.
Luxottica is the largest manufacturer in the world for eyeglasses and frames at around 90% of the market. Potentially partner with them for use of their chemical component via the eyeglasses and apply to the windows of the vehicle.
Essentially, the hotter and brighter it becomes, the darker the windows gets. However, at night, it is clear and transparent thereby not affecting visibility at all. Working with Luxottica, apply a chemical limiter so that it cannot exceed the threshold for legalization in the least common denominator of markets. I.e. if 20% tint is the max, then the chemical agent would not allow it to darken past that amount.
IDEA 4) Replace the glass that is used in the vehicle with an acrylic or plexiglass solution that is lighter and more resistant to damage. The reduced weight would help improve fuel efficiency any further.
IDEA 5) Alter the construction of the aluminum, steel, and other metals so that it has hollow areas inside it ala a bird's bones. This would allow the vehicle to remain strong, but reduce even further weight. Think of it like a steel girder that has holes drilled inside the middle, only in this case, the holes are not drilled through and are cast in a mold that allows it to appear to be a contiguous piece, but has empty pockets inside it.
Thanks Tesla, Elon, and other community members.
OP: IMO it's rather inappropriate for you to suggest that this bunch of amateurs has any useful suggestions to make to Tesla's technology experts on which reported 'new breakthoughs' are worthy of Tesla's engineers' time.
Crowd sourcing this topic is a distraction.
Tweel. No more worry about flats or blow out ever.
What if instead of charging battories you just go to a swapping station and change out the battery packs, and then tesla does what cell phone company's do and charge a subscription fee for renting them out older model batteries cheaper but lower range. no charge time just swap the batteries out and go, benefit is speeder time and a defect in the battery is an easier fix then changeing out an entire car. Just my thoughts
That's essentially what Tesla's swap plans suggest, though as an option or occasional choice for those prepared to pay to save time. But it requires lotsa stations and inventory even for that.
I watched a TED Talks presentation showing a thin, flexible, solar panel. The inventor said it could be used to cover all of those glass windows on skyscrapers. I understand that Tesla has a sister company that produces solar panels for homes. I'm sure they have someone working on technology to add solar panels or coating to the auto itself in order to extend the distance it can be driven before charging. It reminds me of one of those post apocalyptic movies where people are driving around in old cars with bulky solar panels strapped to the hoods of their cars because there isn't any more gas. Science fiction will once again become science fact, only in a much more attractive way.
No. Even 100% of the car covered with 100% efficient panels would move a car only a few miles a day (<10), in bright sun. That's all the energy there is.
The rigid silicon solar panels have good energy efficiency, but aren't convenient to mount on things. Thin film solar panels are the opposite: convenient to mount, but worse energy efficiency, so they wouldn't contribute much energy on the scale of what the car consumes.
Harsh winter is a big problem for electric cars so would it be possible to include some Tesla models with a small gasoline or diesel generators?
It would only be for emergency use and it would produce enough energy to drive home or wherever the charging station is.
Small size generator would fit in a small space and would make a huge diffrence in reability for countries with arctic conditions like winter in Finland.
Traveling over 220 miles for the past two years at lower than 22 F(-6C) has not been an issue in my P85. Of course no speeding or racing.
Please NO ICE is needed.
Tesla would never make any model a plug-in hybrid, even for emergency use. In addition, it's not so simple to just give it a gasoline generator; it would affect the entire drivetrain since it's a completely different technology.
One gallon of diesel fuel holds approximately 40.7 kWh of energy potential. The best diesel motors are perhaps 38% efficient. So they only output 15.466 kWh of work per gallon. Assuming energy consumption at 300 Wh per mile, that would be enough to drive 51.553~ miles per gallon in an electric vehicle powered by a diesel generator.
One gallon of gasoline fuel holds approximately 33.7 kWh of energy potential. The best hybrid gasoline motors are perhaps 36% efficient. So they only output 12.132 kWh of work per gallon. Assuming energy consumption at 300 Wh per mile, that would be enough to drive 40.44~ miles per gallon in an electric vehicle powered by a diesel generator.
A 90 kWh battery pack holds the approximate energy equivalent of 2.67 gallons of gasoline. The Tesla Model S 90D has an EPA rated range of 270 miles. Hence, there is a combined EPA fuel economy of 100 MPGe for it. Thus, there is no need for a range extender at all.

That's wrong perception, pretty much like the one that all electric cars are just glorified golf carts. Cold is not a problem for Tesla cars. You get less range, not so much because of cold, but because worse road conditions.
Heater does reduce range quite a bit though when it is properly cold outside. Seat and steering wheel heaters save quite a bit at that.
It would be nice if Tesla would offer portable generator mounted on a bumper or on a small trailer so you could go any where without looking for recharging station. Cyclon Power Technologies Inc (CYPW) has a good idea for a clean generator. You can use this generator in a blackout to power you house as well.
Third post of the same. Flagging novozilov post.
Hey, I got one!
Put a big 'digger' on the front of the car, and it will dig up the dirt/road in front of you and put it back behind you. Then you'll always be going downhill and won't need to recharge!
Take that Jules Verne!
How about software to filter out....

Instead of taking something away, we should add something.
How about if it looks for those key words, and when you next log on, it takes you straight to Khan Academy or some other site for an instant physics lesson?

<< It would be nice if Tesla would offer portable generator ... >>
All you need is a Metal-Air DC generator and a DC frunk adapter for it (e.g., an Alcoa-Phinergy Al-Air "battery"). It's clean and quiet and you can keep it on a garage shelf indefinitely, if you don't need it for a road trip.
This can give you up to 1,000 miles of range extension.
Clean...? I do believe there is a rather nasty metallic sludge left over afterward... It may be recyclable, perhaps as part of a Lithium-Ion battery, but until then...? Nasty.

text: In the market for a commercial zero turn. I have been reading and talking to dealers and demoed 3 different mowers so far and am pretty confused. too many decisions to make when you're going to spend between 10-13k. The one conclusion I have come to grips with is any of the top 5-6 brands are somewhat similar.(They all cut pretty well and are fairly rugged. I guess it boils down to personal choice. So far my personal choice is between the Hustler HD Super Z 60in.(37hp) and Exmark Lazer Z X 60 in.(35hp) - **Definitely need the custom seat.** 2 big problems; 1. 60 or 72(both brands) and 2. rear vs. side(Hustler) I have about 7-10acres to mow which is broken up a bit.(weeds and some grass for now). Some flat, 4 small hills and around a 1 1/2 - 2 acre Pond. (good sized dam). Could use some good advice.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Info concerning Fairmont State University political science courses, and registering for elective lectures and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Fairmont State University polital science information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Fairmont State University.
To keep your GPA as high as possible, study the schedule of classes carefully, and note the add/drop deadlines, as well as the requirements for changing a grade. If you get an incomplete, or worse a low grade, you can still retake the class, as some schools allow you to average the two grades on your final transcript. Challenge yourself by taking some courses outside your major to fulfill breadth requirements.
By purchasing lecture notes from a reputable source such as the student union, you can save time by not taking notes in class, and concentrate on paying better attention. You also can audit courses that you're interested in, but would prefer to skip exams and just listen in. Beyond consideration for Fairmont State University political science courses, you may think about Highline Community College retake policy for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

CAIR is seething and demanding to see all the investigation materials. So is the Muslim Immigration Attorney, representing the ironically named, 'Border Crossing Law Firm,' that has been very busy helping Somali parasites cross the borders into this country.
Great Falls Tribune But a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security's Immigrations and Customs Enforcement said the agency does not intend to release details of an investigation into a top Montana ICE official who sent an 'Islamophobic' email to a Helena immigration attorney.
Travis McAdam, director of the Montana Human Rights Network, said the network is circulating an online petition calling on ICE to release details about the investigation into the racially (what race is Islam?) charged email Shahid Haque-Hausrath (Shahid? Isn't that the Arabic word for martyr aka suicide bomber?) received from Bruce Norum, supervisory detention and deportation officer for ICE's Helena field office.
"As the highest-ranking ICE official in Montana, Mr. Norum sets the tone for the agency. Based on the email he forwarded and the power of his position with ICE, Muslim Montanans and other people of color have reason to fear being profiled, arrested, or detained based on the color of their skin." (No, they don't, only Muslims do)
McAdam said he was shocked to find out last week that Norum would be reinstated to his former position.
Here is some background on this story that loiyah, Shahid Haque-Hausrath, wrote about on his BLOG
"Last October, I became involved in an effort to draw attention to serious abuses committed by Bruce Norum, who was the most senior official in Montana working for Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE"). At that time, Bruce Norum was the Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer for the state. In that capacity, he made final decisions regarding who should be detained, whether or not an immigrant should be released pending court hearings, what bond amount should be set, and other important determinations regarding immigrants under ICE scrutiny.
On September 28, 2011, during working hours and from his ICE e-mail account, Mr. Norum forwarded an e-mail to another ICE agent and myself, recommending it as a 'good read.' The e-mail plainly advocated racial profiling of Muslims, and asked for a form of loyalty test to be administered before a Muslim should be afforded basic due process.
Some statements from the e-mail, which originally came from an essay written by an American Airlines pilot named John Maniscalco, included:
"I've been trying to say this since 911, but you worry me. I wish you didn't. I wish when I walked down the streets of this country that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country. But you don't blend in anymore.". . .
"It is not MY responsibility to determine which of you embraces our great country, with ALL of its religions, with ALL of its different citizens, with all of its faults. It is time for every Arab/Muslim in this country to determine it for me."
"I want to know, I DEMAND to know and I have a right to know, whether or not you love America …. Do you pledge allegiance to its flag? Do you proudly display it in front of your house, or on your car? Do you pray in your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation; that He will protect it and let it prosper? Or do you pray that Allah with destroy it in one of your Jihads? Are you thankful for the freedom that this nation affords? A freedom that was paid for by the blood of hundreds of thousands of patriots who gave their lives for this country? Are you willing to preserve this freedom by also paying the ultimate sacrifice? Do you love America? ? If this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME know about it."….
"I want to see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the streets. I want to hear you chanting 'Allah Bless America'.. I want to see young Arab/Muslim men enlisting in the military. I want to see a commitment of money, time and emotion to the victims of this butchering and to this nation as a whole.The FBI has a list of over 400 people they want to talk to regarding the WTC attack. Many of these people live and socialize right now in Muslim communities. You know them.
You know where they are. Hand them over to us, NOW!". . .
"We will NEVER allow the attacks of September 11, or any others for that matter, to take away that which is so precious to us — our rights under the greatest constitution in the world. I want to know where every Arab Muslim in this country stands and I think it is my right and the right of every true citizen of this country to DEMAND it."
Says Shahid, "I am a Pakistani-American who was raised in a Muslim household. Mr. Norum was well aware of my race and ethnicity, as we had met in person many times in an official capacity. As I practice solely immigration law, I routinely represent (illegal) immigrants facing the threat of deportation in Mr. Norum's jurisdiction. By sending this message to me, it appeared that Mr. Norum may have been trying to question my loyalty to the United States, and use his position of authority to intimidate me."
On June 4, Shahid and his lawyer met with Norum's supervisor, ICE field office director Steven Branch, who said Norum would soon be reinstated. Branch refused to release any other information about the investigation or what, if any, punishment Norum received for his actions.
Dallas-based ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok, director of the agency's central region office, issued a brief statement about the matter on Monday. "ICE's Office of Professional Responsibility handles all ICE internal administrative investigations. For privacy reasons, ICE does not discuss internal investigations," Rusnok said.
Ibrahim 'Dougie' Hooper, spokesman for Hamas-linked CAIR, said he remains concerned about how Norum will interact with members of the Muslim community who are engaged with ICE going forward. "Is he going to be fair? Is he going to apply some kind of anti-Muslim bias that he holds in these cases? Could you ever be sure? That's the problem," Hooper said. (NO, that's the solution)

More police at London Pride 2016 after 'increased concerns' following Orlando shootings
THE Met Police have confirmed they will have an "increased visible presence" at this year's London Pride following the Orlando shootings.
Pride, which takes place on June 25, will have more visible officers to "provide reassurance" and "show support" after the terrorist attack on gay club Pulse last Saturday.
The Met and Pride organisers released a letter on Friday which read: "The Met police and Pride in London recognise that people in the LGBT+ and wider community may have increased concerns at this time.
"Therefore, to help provide additional reassurance, the Met police will have an increased visible policing presence at the parade and in Soho."
It comes after 49 people were killed in the biggest mass US shooting to date by lone gunman Omar Mateen.
ISIS sympathiser Mateen entered the LGBT club in the early hours of Sunday morning.
"People do need reassuring"Jeremy Joseph, owner of G-A-Y and Heaven nightclubs
Tributes have poured in for the 49 victims and dozens of others injured in the attack.
It has been reported Mateen was a regular at the nightclub and even checked social media during the attacks to see if he was "going viral".
Jeremy Joseph, who owns London clubs G-A-Y and Heaven, described the Orlando shooting as his "worst nightmare come true".
He said: "We also have to think about the dear there is in London of something like this happening here.
"People do need reassuring."
Police have emphasised there is no intelligence of increased risks of attacks at Pride 2016, but both police officers and stewards will be prominent throughout the event.

Donald Trump's business-like approach 'could benefit Northern Ireland'
US President-elect Donald Trump will deploy business instincts more than his limited political experience when he takes office - which could ultimately help the Northern Ireland economy, it's been claimed.
Mr Trump helped soothe rattled UK investor nerves as he pledged to double US economic growth and invest in world-class infrastructure in his victory speech.
London's top flight had sunk more than 2% after the surprise victory before rebounding into positive territory.
The FTSE 100 Index closed up 1%, or 68.71 points to 6,911.84, after dropping more than 140 points at the start of the session.
The pound climbed 0.8% against the US dollar at 1.248 and 1.6% against the euro at 1.140. Mr Trump's victory also sent shares in CRH plc up more than 8%. The Irish company, which owns Northstone in Northern Ireland and is listed in both London and Dublin, is thought to be in line for several big infrastructure projects in the US.
Commentators have said the rhetoric of the President-elect on bringing jobs home from overseas is unlikely to affect US investment in Northern Ireland. In his campaign, he has said he will repatriate US manufacturing jobs which have been moved abroad, and cut America's rate of corporation tax to 15%.
Padraig Cronin, vice-president of business advisory firm Deloitte in Ireland, said that would mean both Northern Ireland and the Republic would need to focus on other attributes to help them attract investment from America rather than relying on low corporation tax.
Ronnie Hanna, who has led trade missions to the US, said jobs in American firms here were less likely to be affected as they'd started out as indigenous firms which were later taken over.
Ulster Unionist MLA Steve Aiken - party spokesman for the economy - said the US was likely to start taking a tough line on trade and tariff issues with the European Union. "Paradoxically, the UK's Brexit position may help us gain some trade advantage," he said.
Mark O'Connell, head of inward investment advisers OCO Global, said: "I trust Donald Trump's instincts as a businessman ahead of his political experience, and we can probably rely on him not to make decisions that are damaging to US economic interests."

January 19th, 2009, 12:31 AM #1FTP Datafeeds
Up until January 15 I was receiving datafeeds via email. I received the notice that they would no longer send them that way and that I had to set up the FTP, which I did. I currently receive datafeeds for two merchants.
This is very frustrating because I'm constantly having to check my ftp folder to see if the new datafeeds have come in yet. I received the feeds for the 15th and 16th without any problem. But it's been two days, and I haven't received any more. I thought maybe there might be something wrong with the set-up so I went back to Connect Commerce and pressed the Test FTP and save button again. It returned the message: returnMessage=Request sent Successfully.
Is there a way to find out when the datafeeds have been sent without having to check my folder constantly? Is there a way to force the system to send the datafeeds, or have they just been down for the last two days over the three-day weekend?
Also, it's frustrating that there is no way to tell the difference between the datafeeds from day to day. How do you know when you received a new one if they all have the same file name that over-write each other? The only way I could figure out to tell is to delete them from my ftp folder after I've downloaded them to my computer.
Any help would be appreciated.
January 19th, 2009, 12:24 PM #2
Clients do not always send data feeds daily. You will only receive a new feed when one is sent to us. Also, I believe each file is dated so you can see new feeds.
Perhaps other affiliates can offer suggestions on how they implement and track feeds.
I will pass your feedback to product management for review in terms of process and visibility improvements.
Thank you,
January 19th, 2009, 03:10 PM #3
Thank you, Jamie. One of them came through this morning.
My host uses cpanel, and when I view the file list online all it shows is the name of the file. There is no way to determine the date/time that it was downloaded that I can see.

Belmont Odds 2014: Latest Betting Lines and Predictions
The Belmont Stakes is rapidly approaching, and California Chrome's date with destiny looms on the horizon. He will try to capture horse racing's most elusive and sought-after prize, the Triple Crown.
After two triumphant victories in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, the popular chestnut colt will not run into the history books unopposed. He will have several fresh challengers eager to deny him his spot among racing's immortals.
Read on for a look at some of the latest betting lines courtesy of Odds Shark and predictions on how these horses will fare. With no official field set yet, there is still a lot that can change between now and the big race on June 7.
Social Inclusion
Current Odds: 33-1
Prediction: Last
Take nothing away from his effort in the Preakness Stakes. It was a game performance, and this lightly-raced, inexperienced colt showed he could be competitive with the big boys.
His inexperience got the better of him before the Preakness began. He became increasingly washed out and fractious as he made his way to the starting gate and may have left some of his race behind. With the remarkable card scheduled for Belmont Stakes Day and a Triple Crown on the line, Belmont Park is going to be packed. He seems to have some issues with large crowds, and a full house may be too much for him to handle.
Odds: 33-1
Prediction: 12th
Matterhorn is a bit of a puzzle in this race. He broke his maiden last fall against a quality field—including Tonalist—and has since given no indication he is a stakes horse, let alone a Grade 1-type competitor.
After trainer Todd Pletcher's top tier string was decimated by injury, it appears he is calling in the D-squad to give himself a chance in the race. Matterhorn was last seen finishing fourth in the Peter Pan Stakes ahead of three rivals—one who did not even finish the race.
General a Rod
Current Odds: No odds given, still uncertain whether he starts
Prediction: 11th
After showing modest improvement in the Preakness Stakes and finishing fourth after an 11th place showing in the Kentucky Derby, General a Rod is back for another crack at the top tier horses in the Belmont Stakes.
Though he seems over-faced, both in distance and in class competition, his trainer, Mike Maker, seemed confident in an interview with ESPN, citing poor trips as an excuse in the prior Triple Crown races:
"We waited it out, and the horse told us to go. I felt good before the Preakness and I feel good before the Belmont. One of these times we're going to have a clean run and go from there."
This colt has given zero indications that he is suited for the mile and a half distance—regardless of whether or not the trip was the sole factor in the Derby and Preakness.
Kid Cruz
Current Odds: 40-1
Prediction: 10th
Kid Cruz jumped into the deep end of the pool in the Preakness Stakes, but despite his home track advantage, the best he could manage was 8th—ahead of two rivals.
His running style and pedigree are his only strengths here. His sire, Lemon Drop Kid, defeated Charismatic and ended the hope of a Triple Crown in 1999 in the Belmont Stakes. With some likely pressure on the lead, his come from behind style should be advantageous.
Despite those two selling points, he still may simply be a cut below the top horses here.
Medal Count
Current Odds: 14-1
Prediction: 9th
Medal Count has the potential to be a really productive, competitive stakes horse. Unfortunately, that success seems like it could come over turf and synthetics—his connections seem convinced that he belongs on conventional dirt.
While he did break his maiden over dirt at Ellis Park, the race had been originally slated for the turf and came off, resulting in several scratches and some rivals that may not have handled dirt at all. His only competitive performances since that maiden win have come on grass or synthetic surfaces.
The one thing he does have going for him is his pedigree. He is bred to excel at longer distances and should find the mile and a half well within his scope.
Current Odds: 33-1
Prediction: 8th
Trainer Todd Pletcher started out the Triple Crown season with a loaded arsenal. Even after the Kentucky Derby it appeared that he was poised to have some major threats for the Belmont Stakes. One by one his top contenders fell to the sidelines with injuries, and he was left with one—Commissioner.
This royally bred son of Belmont Stakes winner A.P. Indy was the horse everyone was talking about at the beginning of the year. He was topping all of the early Derby lists after he won an allowance race at Gulfstream. Then the shine faded as he struggled against stakes company in each subsequent start.
His effort in the Peter Pan Stakes was competitive enough to finish second to Tonalist, but it was not an awe-inspiring performance. Despite his pedigree and lofty connections, he may simply not be that good.
Commanding Curve
Current Odds: 15-2
Prediction: 7th
There is no denying that Commanding Curve turned in a dynamite effort in the Kentucky Derby. It appeared he was making up ground sharply at the end, but the question always remains in such a large field: Was he actually moving up, or was he just picking up the pieces?
The ridgling son of Master Command has enough stamina in his pedigree to potentially handle the distance, but first he will need to prove that his strong performance in the Run for the Roses was not a fluke. He took four tries to break his maiden, and before the Derby, his best effort against stakes company was third against a suspect bunch in the Louisiana Derby.
Current Odds: 15-2
Prediction: 6th
Tonalist may be the biggest wild card heading into the Belmont Stakes. He became the buzz horse as a fresh face heading towards the third jewel of the Triple Crown after a visually stunning victory in the Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park on May 10.
With only four starts, there is no telling how good he may or may not be. He defeated a well-bred but underachieving rival in Commissioner in the Peter Pan, and while he did so impressively, he seemed to move up significantly over the sealed, sloppy track. That sort of surface tends to play in favor of speed, and the stars aligned for him that day.
He will get a major class test, and if the forecast calls for heavy rain he becomes more of a threat.
Ride on Curlin
Current Odds: 5-1
Prediction: 5th
Ride on Curlin has generated quite a name for himself over the course of the Triple Crown. Granted, most of that buzz has been around his feisty attitude and rambunctious behavior.
Despite being a handful in the barn, the colt seems to be thriving under the demands of the Triple Crown and has been training sharply at Belmont, as Daily Racing Form's Mike Welsch reported:
Ride on Curlin really full of himself coming to wire and around club turn, rider had his hands full keeping him from running off.— Mike Welsch (@DRFWelsch) May 30, 2014
The hard-knocking colt shares the same sire as Belmont Stakes winner Palace Malice, and there is plenty of depth there as well—despite the sprint influence in his immediate female family. The biggest question (like the one that plagues California Chrome) will be how much is taken out of them after running in all three legs of the Triple Crown.
Current Odds: 40-1
Prediction: 4th
It is difficult to build a sound case for Matuszak to win the Belmont Stakes, but he may be an interesting longshot with the potential to play the spoiler.
Trainer Bill Mott is regarded as one of the very best trainers in the history of the sport. Among his many marquee victories, including nine separate Breeders' Cup scores, is a win in the Belmont Stakes in 2010 with Drosselmeyer. Known for being a conservative horseman, he would not enter this horse if he did not think he was capable.
To be fair, this impeccably-bred colt has not won since his debut effort as a juvenile last September, and his runner-up finish in the Federico Tesio Stakes was not flattered by Kid Cruz flopping in the Preakness. Still, he is intriguing.
Current Odds: 20-1
Prediction: 3rd
Samraat has one distinct advantage over many of his rivals—he has proven himself at Belmont Park. He won his career debut at Belmont as a juvenile, and the New York-bred colt has established himself this spring as a gritty, resilient competitor.
He has proven to be the sort of horse that gives 110% every single time—though the grueling distance of a mile and a half may be beyond his scope. He turned in a resolute performance in the Kentucky Derby and missed fourth by a bare nose to Wicked Strong after a rough trip.
He is the type of blue-collar horse that, like California Chrome, has already outrun his modest pedigree and could continue to do so.
Wicked Strong
Current Odds: 9-1
Prediction: 2nd
Wicked Strong, the popular colt who races with a portion of his earnings going to the One Fund for those affected by the Boston Marathon bombings, showed his heart with a game fourth-place finish in the Kentucky Derby.
By skipping the Preakness and opting to focus attention on the Belmont Stakes, Wicked Strong will have a race that plays to all of his strengths and the advantage of coming in well rested. The long stretch at Belmont Park could be exactly what he needs, and with a clear trip, he will be flying late to try to deny California Chrome the Triple Crown.
The Beverly, Massachusetts-based partnership that owns the colt is no stranger to success in the Belmont Stakes. They won in 1993 with Colonial Affair.
California Chrome
Current Odds: Even
Prediction: 1st
California Chrome has surpassed expectations with every race. No one believed that the commonly-bred colt from modest beginnings could win the Kentucky Derby—let alone head to the Belmont Stakes with a Triple Crown on the line. But he has passed every test with flying colors and made a believer out of a lot of skeptics.
There is a reason the Belmont Stakes is the true "Test of Champions." At a grueling distance of a mile and a half, every ounce of stamina, heart and class will be put to the test.
Some of the greatest horses the sport has seen in decades—Spectacular Bid, Silver Charm, Sunday Silence—have all fallen short in the Belmont Stakes. California Chrome does not have history on his side.
He could, however, be something really special. And we will know for sure on Saturday.

If you like to work on your own boat---install new equipment or troubleshoot and fix
problems that may involve a faulty pump or static on your VHF or a device that
sometimes trips an electrical circuit when you flip it on---or so your project doesn't wind up looking like this rats nest---you've probably
read Ed Sherman's advice. Ed is the go-to tech guy at the American Boat &
Yacht Council (his formal title is vice president/education) who has literally
written the book on a lot of this stuff for marine technicians. He's currently
teaching electrical courses for both ABYC and techs at the National Marine
Electronics Association. In his spare time, he writes a blog tailored for
boaters---it's called Ed's Boat Tips---and a column for Marine Electronics
Journal. Below is part 1 of a recent MEJ article that's good reading for anyone
about to dive into some boat wiring.
By Ed Sherman
Selecting properly sized and rated wiring is something that
both the ABYC and NMEA talk about in all their training programs. But even with
that I'm still amazed at how many times we encounter undersized wire or wire
with totally inappropriate insulation properties being used onboard.
Tinned or untinned?
To get things rolling here let's clear up one of the biggest
misnomers I run into at least annually. That is, does ABYC require the use of
tinned wire? The answer is that we do not and never have. Every now and then
I'll run into a survey report that will state that the wiring on boat X does
not comply with an ABYC requirement for using tinned wire. This is simply
Now, is tinned wire a better choice onboard? The answer is
probably yes, but unlike others I would argue that it's not as critical as
actually installing wiring in such a way that the tinning is essentially
unnecessary. The tinning's sole purpose is to help mitigate corrosion. My contention
is that if wiring is installed so that water—one of the needed ingredients to
generate corrosion in the first place—is removed from the equation by building
into the wiring job things like proper drip loops, elevation of all wiring in
bilge areas to above the bilge high water mark, and in the case of sailboats in
both the static floating as well as the dynamic floating position, corrosion
should never be an issue.
Anyone with any experience onboard boats has seen the impact
on wiring from the occasional hosing down with sea water. As you cut off the
terminal and begin stripping back insulation you see the black colored copper
strands that are indicative of corrosion that has occurred due to water
migrating along the conductor via capillary action and leaving behind a ring
that is going to underperform. Tinned copper will help to slow down this
process for sure, but it will not stop corrosion from occurring altogether.
The best way is to install the wiring so that it will never get
water soaked in the first place. I've worked on plenty of 50 to 60-year-old
boats built before tinned wire was even available in our market. The wiring was
in excellent condition if it had been kept dry. So, tinned wire is nice, but
not nearly as necessary as some would have you believe.
What about the insulation?
Everyone will undoubtedly agree that the marine environment
can be harsh at times. Installations often require large tight bundles of wire
and cabling to get pulled through some pretty cramped areas on the boat where
heat can build up. For that reason, ABYC standards exist that talk about
derating of wire and cable depending upon how many current-carrying conductors
are bundled. The larger the bundle, the more the wires get de-rated for
amperage handling.
Whether the cable is routed through engine room spaces where
average ambient temperature is going to be higher than outside the engine room
is one of the key judgement criteria found within the ABYC E-11 standard. Also,
understand that the actual temperature rating of the insulation material is
also considered here. The standard clearly states that nothing with a
temperature rating less than 75°C or 167°F be used in engine room spaces. Most of the "boat cable" in use today is rated
at 105°C, so this is rarely and issue. The only instance I can recall where I
saw this violated was with a battery charger that had a factory-installed flex
cord plug assembly with a 60°C rating on the cable. This was a new model
charger and the manufacturer replaced it without question.
Insulation properties must go far beyond temperature ratings
in marine applications. I can recall some years ago listening to a salesman at
one of the boat shows touting the fact that the silicon-based insulation on the
South African-built catamaran I was onboard was rated to 125°C. Quite
impressive except for one small detail that I didn't discover until some years
later when I found myself doing some wiring work on a similar boat. The silicon
insulation, although quite soft and supple feeling, had extremely low chafe
resistance compared to any of the PVC insulation I had ever dealt with. In
fact, I discovered that I didn't even need wire stripers to remove the
insulation as I could tear it off the wire with a pair of pliers with virtually
no effort.
While teaching in South Africa about 10 years ago I
mentioned this interesting nuance to the group I was with, one of whom ran the
chandlery that provided the wire to the builders at the time. He was shocked,
of course, and explained that they wanted to keep business local and the
product was made in South Africa. Sorry, this stuff may have had more than
ample temperature handling characteristics, but more questions need to be
answered to determine suitability. How about chemical resistance properties, resistant
to oil and gas? Chafe resistance? UV resistance? Insulation voltage rating?
These properties need to be considered. In fact, the ABYC requirement is that
the pertinent information be embossed on the insulation jacket. Minimally, the
following specifications must be on the insulation jacket:
Minimum surface marking of the individual conductors and
jackets shall include:
188.8.131.52.1.2 voltage,
22.214.171.124.1.3 wire size, and
22.214.171.124.1.4 temperature rating, dry.
So, if you see a bunch of wire with no markings on the
insulation jacket, ask questions!
Next week: Sizing wire correctly.

About the Author
Better known in the art world, F.M. Kearney is an award-winning fine art nature photographer. Although he has written several photography-related articles for magazines and online sites, this is his first novel-length feature in the horror genre. Kearney began his career as a photojournalist in New York City. His assignments took him all over town, with the subway serving as his primary means of transportation. When most non-New Yorkers think of the subway, thoughts of Grand Central, Times Square and Penn Station - huge bustling hubs filled with hundreds of people - will undoubtedly come to mind. Having traveled on every line in the city, it was clear to him that the vast majority of the system's 468 stations were nothing like that, in fact, they were the exact opposite. Most were fairly quiet, dimly lit and sparsely populated...and that's in the middle of the day. Viewing it as the perfect setting for a horror story, it's no wonder why Kearney chose the subway as his muse for "They Only Come Out at Night."

So today Charlie has been dry all day! Even whilst playing at a friends house and also whilst he napped. He has actually started telling me when he needs a wee! It's wonderful, no more nagging him and no more worrying how long it has been since a drink. He is amazing.
We just had a false alarm poo as well, but the main point was that he did tell me he thought he needed one, he came with me to the toilet willingly and even had a try before deciding he didn't actually need one. 'Just wind Mummy'
I could just shower him with kisses all the time I am so proud of him!

Rarely do we hear of politicians' cars crashing at each other. It's more or less like planes crashing mid air...right? But, along Kiambu Road, Kisumu Senator Anyang' Nyong'o escaped unhurt when his car was hit by another one that was being driven by Kabete MP Ferdinand Waititu's son over the weekend.
Officials who visited the scene of the crash said they tested Waititu junior's level of drunkenness but he passed the test. Nyong'o, who was being driven to the airport, was hurriedly transferred to another car and driven away. No one was injured.
"It was an accident like any other and we tested the driver who is the son of an MP but he passed the test," said an officer who confirmed to MondayBlues that he was aware of the incident.

The series of articles "Latvija var!" portal Delfi dedicated enterprising people in the Latvian business, whose ideas become the innovative products win export markets or the hearts of the customers in Latvia. The project was created in collaboration with DNB.
The idea of the brand Kinetics was the business partner of the current owner and the head of the company Andrzej Stanslaus. "He had a desire to develop that idea, and I had the knowledge how to do it. We agreed that I take the case and begin to develop", says Stances, which in October last year fully acquired the shares of the company. In 2002, when the company first appeared, the range was only four product to build so popular at the time, acrylic nails. According to Stanslaus, then the vision was narrow, and had not even any idea that the enterprise could compete with the world's largest brands.
Kinetics now offers over 700 products and approximately 80% of them fall into the professional market. In turn, about 30% of all products produced for private trademarks, or other brands. Almost all products of the company goes abroad.
How told the portal Delfi is a specialist in nail care, network of beauty salons Maija Victoria Shumchik (in these salons are separate products Kinetics) for customers is important the durability of nail Polish. Perhaps that is why the clients often choose the lucky cat. Now varnish-jelly even more popular than gel nails.
As for the most popular colors, the expert notes that in summer customers prefer bright and colorful tones, and in winter, the nails are often coated with lacquers of red and dark shades.

My Nonprofit Reviews
sandy jo
Review for Hand in Paw, Birmingham, AL, USA
Hand in Paw is animal assisted therapy for children who are ill or require special care : those in need of reading skills and those who may be in trouble. It is also for adults who are ill or elderly and in need of care.
The organization is almost entiredly made up of volunteers who train and are certified as Pet Partners with their animals. The interaction between someone needing care and affection and the animal is amazing. We have more requests for visits than we can currently fill.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would like 100 more Pet Partner teams serve our community. And the funding adequate for our small staff to manage them.
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
A lot
Will you tell others about this organization?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Lionel Messi scored an injury-time penalty as Barcelona came from behind to beat Valencia 3-2 and go top of La Liga.
Messi had given Barca a controversial lead after offside Luis Suarez jumped out the way of his low shot.
Valencia then fought back to take a 2-1 advantage with fine goals from Barca loanee Munir el Haddadi and Rodrigo.
But Suarez equalised for the visitors when he arrived at the back post, before winning a penalty in added time which Messi confidently converted.
The result takes Barcelona a point ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid, who face Sevilla on Sunday.
