By-elections give ETS opponents hope: Joyce
Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce talks to Barrie Cassidy to discuss the by-elections in Bradfield and Higgins and the possibility of sitting on the Coalition's front bench.

Topics: nationals, emissions-trading, climate-change, federal-government, political-parties, australia
BARRIE CASSIDY: Now we'll go to our program guest and this morning it's the National Party Senate Leader Barnaby Joyce who carved out, well, and independent niche for himself during the Turnbull period.
But now under Tony Abbott he says he's ready to serve on the front bench.
Barnaby Joyce joins us now from Brisbane. Good morning and welcome.
BARNABY JOYCE, NATIONAL PARTY SENATE LEADER: Good morning Barrie.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Could we start by getting your response to the by-elections. Can you really draw too many conclusions from what happened yesterday?
BARNABY JOYCE: Well I think it shows that the show is back on the road again and that's what we need.
What I did find very interesting was certain Booths, Barrie, such as Asquith in the northern part of Bradfield, are working class, working families who have voted for the Liberal Party and that just goes to show that sensible suburbia is not taken up with the ETS madness.
And we're quite happy if Mr Rudd wants to go down the path of an election over the ETS we will be saying it's a massive new tax and if you want one in your life vote for Kevin.
BARRIE CASSIDY: So are you more encouraged by the prospect of a double dissolution election as a result of these by-elections?
BARNABY JOYCE: There will be an election coming up Barrie and we're ready for it.
We've cleared the hurdle. Tony is now at the reins. No-one is going to walk backwards over the hurdle. If we did that would be disastrous. Now we're ready to take the fight up to Kevin Rudd.
And I reckon it's going to be an interesting dynamic because we've got, you know, now we've got a real contest and we've got a difference in the Chamber that will clearly sort of spell out two different sides of politics.
It is quite clear. We have a jet-setting Mr Rudd who is now evolved beyond his need to even communicate with the new Premier of New South Wales even though she's from the Labor Party. He now resides in bucket seat number one on RAF VIP plane and we're quite willing to stay at home and do the work and take him on.
BARRIE CASSIDY: It's interesting that you're drawing those comparisons between Tony Abbott and Kevin Rudd in this way. Tony Abbott said on television this morning that Kevin Rudd tends to be the public servant; he's not the retail politician.
Clearly Tony Abbott wants to portray himself as a very different person?
BARNABY JOYCE: Well I think the vision of Tony, I hope it'll come to the towel (???) in the future I hope.
But it's going to be something that shows a person who has the academic side of him no doubt, he's a Rhodes Scholar. But there's also a personal engagement as seen through the surf club, the bushfire brigade. We need that.
We've now got Mr Rudd. Mr Rudd is easy to work out. He's now on the express from Brussels down to Copenhagen I imagine talking about how he's going to save the world and that's Kevin.
The best way to describe Kevin is he's overseas.
BARRIE CASSIDY: But he's doing some important work isn't he, in Copenhagen?
BARNABY JOYCE: Well we've got 192 people turning up, only 70 leaders. I think that the big issues really need to start focusing back here in Australia.
I think Mr Rudd, there's a bit of self indulgent conceit here that he thinks that he is going to change the global dynamic. I think he should leave that to Hu Jintao, to Barack Obama, you know, Yvo de Boer and really realise the role that Australia plays.
Once we start playing the unilateral world saviour we get ourselves into all sorts of sticky territory. If Mr Rudd believes we can single handedly save the globe on climate then I suppose we have to look forward to Australia conducting regime change in North Korea and looking after the world of sub Saharan Africa.
I think that Australians want people to concentrate at home and this will be the dynamic that will clearly juxtapose Tony to Kevin.
BARRIE CASSIDY: You say only 70 world leaders. It's a pretty safe bet though that whatever they come up with you will probably oppose?
BARNABY JOYCE: Not necessarily. Let's see what happens. But let's make sure that what comes out of Copenhagen Barrie is not soaring rhetoric but actually a commitment that we see in legislation from the major emitters.
What Australia was about to embark on was this sort of solo flight to save the world, where Australia had to be convinced that from Penny Wong's office in a room in Canberra she could change the temperature of the globe.
Now no-one bought that ticket and the good thing about it is we have saved Australia from a massive new tax.
But apparently Julia Gillard has announced to us that she is going to once more to try to reintroduce this massive new tax into the lives of the Australian people.
We can't get a definitive explanation from Minister Wong about how many parts per million this will actually reduce carbon dioxide levels in the globe. That is because it's merely a gesture and as a gesture people do not want to lose their job over a gesture.
They do not have to have the price of the everyday fundamentals such as the air conditioning, the price of running the fridge, the price of ironing the clothes, the price of groceries in your trolley going through the roof because of a gesture.
BARRIE CASSIDY: But you say then that you won't necessarily oppose what they come up with in Copenhagen. And you've also talked about the need for coordination and yet...
BARNABY JOYCE: Well...
BARRIE CASSIDY: Well let me just go to what you said during the week as well.
BARNABY JOYCE: Sorry.
BARRIE CASSIDY: You said that they should abandon the legislation, not reintroduce it in February and the quote was: "Get over it and get on with the next item of politics".
BARNABY JOYCE: That's correct. I mean I don't know what they're coming up with from Copenhagen. So to say right now that you know we'll abandon everything they say from Copenhagen is to not least give it the chance and the dignity of coming to a conclusion.
But if the solution is Australia should solo go on an ETS well then you've got to abandon that idea because what we're doing is just conscripting Australia to a massive new tax that has no effect on the environment but will make the pensioners poorer, put the family farmers off the farm.
So much for easing the squeeze on working families - they're actually going to put the price up of the fundamentals in the working families' life.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Okay you made two big decisions this week as I understand it. One was to seek a frontbench position and the other is to seek a seat in the House of Representatives.
How do you plan to do that, how do you plan to get to the Lower House?
BARNABY JOYCE: Look everybody in Queensland is grandfather for the next election so it's more a medium term goal. But I truly believe that if you are asked to go to the executive and you have the honour of one day making a government, then that should be conducted from the Lower House.
That is only my belief. I know others have a different belief. I've always said that.
And because Tony got across the line with one vote, and to be honest if Tony hadn't got across the line we would have an ETS. So I think there is because of that a commitment required trying and maintaining this insanity as far away from us as possible. Therefore we're going to need to make sure that we keep the show together.
We're also in the last 12 months to an election and make no mistake about it, I think that we have got to make a contest of this for Australia.
BARRIE CASSIDY: So the pathway though to the House of Representatives is not a clear one for you at this stage?
BARNABY JOYCE: Not at all. And you know it's just trying to be transparent, tell people what you intend to do. You know, I'll leave it to Tony to announce the frontbench.
And but you know in due course I have to try and get down to the Lower House.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Now what about a portfolio responsibility? Finance was mentioned this morning. Tony was giving nothing away. Will you be going though for a more traditional National Party portfolio?
BARNABY JOYCE: Look I'll leave that. I mean I know what I'm going to be doing because I've had that discussion with Tony, but I'm going to leave it for Tony to announce it. I can tell you that it won't be the minister for arts.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Is it though a traditional National Party responsibility or are you doing something different?
BARNABY JOYCE: Well you know, what is a traditional National Party responsibility? Your role is to look after...
BARRIE CASSIDY: Finance is not. The Nationals don't often have finance?
BARRIE CASSIDY: Well you know you've got to look after your constituents. I think that the world changes Tony and everything changes with it.
We have to recognise that the vast majority of the people who vote for the National Party are living in weatherboard and irons, brick and tiles. They live in regional towns. It is, you know it's a constituency.
We have certainly our heart with people on the land and I came off the land myself, but I'm an accountant Tony. If I've done anything in my life unfortunately it's the mundane work of being an accountant.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Well that sounds like you might be heading in a certain direction.
When you discuss these issues with Tony Abbott and portfolio responsibilities, do you first clear that with your own leader, with Warren Truss, or is that a matter for you and Tony Abbott to sort out?
BARNABY JOYCE: Oh no it's talked with a whole range of people, not just with obviously discussions with Warren, discussions with Tony, discussions with Bruce McIver who's the President of the LNP here in Queensland.
It's not a sort of unilateral you know flight of fancy. You're getting a square away from a lot of people and you're just trying to basically put your resources into the place where it can be best utilised and to make sure that you're taking people with you.
And you know there's a consultation period. I don't believe myself to be an omnipotent spirit who has all knowledge, so you take advice.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Now it was suggested this morning as well that in your conversations with Tony Abbott you made clear the one aspect of this you're not looking forward to is the discipline that comes with it.
How will you handle that? Because on the frontbench you will be required to stay focussed?
BARNABY JOYCE: Well I suppose it's a case of, it's a bit like going back to accountancy. You know you concentrate on the file that's in front of you, the file that's on the table. And you try and make sure that you get to the end of that.
The role in the Senate so far, we did concentrate on a role in the Senate and that was to be the reviewer and amender of legislation, concentrate on the rights of the state. And I'm sure Waca and Fiona will continue to do that and the National Party will continue to do that.
And you know I will have to look at a portfolio and you know concentrate on that. My job is if I can flesh out that portfolio in such a way as to spell out the deficiencies in the Labor Government, and boy doesn't that sound like a politician when you start talking like that. But you know I'll do all that rubbish and a lot more.
But I won't, you know the National Party won't be completely cornered. There will be times, it's a business relationship and from time to time there will be differences but I'm sure we'll be able to manage them.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Now clearly you felt that you could speak outside of the square when you were not on the frontbench. But also with Malcolm Turnbull as the leader you just got the impression that you struggled to fall into line with him at times.
But I gather with Tony Abbott you don't have that concern?
BARNABY JOYCE: Not as much. Obviously Malcolm was a good leader, the only big difference with Malcolm is we just had a violent disagreement on the ETS. We just saw it as a, and the National Party saw it as a massive new tax. We couldn't work out how they'd made this connection between this massive tax and changing the temperature of the globe.
And all this emotion, this Labor Party fear mongering of you know fear, famine, pestilence, you know droughts and everything that goes with it, instantaneous human combustion - we could never quite get the grasp of how the Labor Party intended to fix that by domestic Australian policy. And it was obviously absurd and had to be stopped.
If we had ended up with an ETS now and obviously Malcolm was supporting that, this would be a completely different conversation Barrie. It would be one where we'd say, we've just completely re-jigged the Australian economy. We are now sort of living in this sort of nebulous cloud cuckoo land economics. We've decided that we have an emission trading scheme for carbon.
In the past emission trading schemes have worked. Obviously JD Hailes (phonetic) did a good job with the construction of things for sulphur dioxide in power plants.
But the whole thing has concept of the modelling, it just has holes all through it. And you're going to see more and more of those holes come out Barrie.
Even as we speak I think there's about a $3.7 billion hole in the actual figures themselves as where they stand. And Australia just doesn't have that sort of money Barrie.
We've got to realise where we are. We've got $115 billion in federal debt. The states are in hock to about $170 billion. And we just can't go on this sort of you know nebulous type of approach of oh well you know, let's not worry about the money, we'll all fix it up later on.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Okay we're running out time but I got a sense of your regard for Tony Abbott when an anecdote that you talked about being out jogging fairly recently and you were starting to close on Tony Abbott?
BARNABY JOYCE: Tony didn't know I was closing on Tony Abbott, but I was coming up. I went for a wander around. And I must admit he's probably gone for a far longer jog than I've gone so I was a little bit fresher than Tony.
I was wandering up the hill and I could see a silhouette in front of me. I thought that's young Mr Abbot so I'll catch up and go past him and rub his nose in it.
But as soon as Tony had spied me out of the corner of his eye he put his foot down and made it to the ministerial entrance and glanced around and I had to accept that I was the vanquished. But um, anyway.
BARNABY JOYCE: I think we have to accept he's a fairly competitive character.
Now next year, a federal election, three state elections. It's going to be quite a year politically?
BARNABY JOYCE: It's going to be a big one Barrie and you know I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be an interesting contest now. We're going to have real colour and movement in the dynamic between Tony Abbott and Kevin Rudd.
At a state level here well I don't know what else the state governments could do wrong.
In Queensland, they're stone motherless broke.
New South Wales you know it's like Blue Hills. It's got more episodes than Blue Hills. You don't know what's going on.
South Australia, well that looks like Days of our Lives.
Northern Territory they're holding on by the skin of their teeth.
And you know it's going to be an interesting time for the Labor Party. Things can change round so quickly.
And I think if I was Mr Rudd I would jump back on that VIP and head home because we're going to be hard at work behind the lines tearing him apart.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Well Barnaby Joyce, thanks for joining us this morning and have a good break when you get the chance.
BARNABY JOYCE: Thanks Barrie. I'll head back up to it today.

As you are exploring (obsessively pinning), and turning the pages of every wedding magazine that exists, you are going to see a variety of styles. Developing your own style is very important to us as your wedding planner as we begin the design process. What is important is narrowing in on your design taste & preferences and then collaborating on how to bring those to life through your wedding design. In our style series, we wanted to highlight a few styles to show you what may work for your big day!
This week we are featuring classic ballroom elegance. This is for the bride that is looking for timeless in her wedding design. To me ballroom weddings are over the top in the best way–crystal chandeliers, classically round floral design, formal dinner setting. When a client asks for a more classic, ballroom design profile, I envision a traditionally round bouquet, tied tightly with a bride in a classic type of cut gown, groom in a black tux, and our bridesmaids in formal gowns. Normally, in these design profiles we have more of a traditional monogram in our paper elements. I also like to be sure the colors compliment the ballroom we are in, not compete with it. For seating, I like a chavari chair as I think it is best suited for this type of look. We also normally see the use of candelabras in the floral design or a fluted glass vase for the tall floral element. While classic and elegant are what we do best, don't be afraid to pull in some current trends in your wedding design. Maybe pulling in an accent color that is current to give your wedding a fresh look. Using a sub font design on your reception printed items like your cups, and favors for some fun are ways to freshen up the look. Classic and elegant doesn't have to be stuffy!

Calcutta, Feb. 8: The Trinamul Congress today rejected the chief ministers offer of talks on land acquisition, saying they could be held only after the government returns land acquired in Singur and scraps notifications for using farmland for industry.
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjees letter, sent to leader of Opposition Partha Chatterjee this afternoon, stated that the government wants a rational and peaceful solution to the land controversy for the steady progress of the state.
The chief minister said he had sent a letter to Trinamul chief Mamata Banerjee on December 28 requesting her for the talks. However, I did not receive any reply to my letter. Moreover, a section of the Trinamul leadership has been telling the media that the government wasnt interested in talks. I dont know whether this is a fact
If you have no problems, I am eager to discuss the states overall situation with you at a bilateral meeting at Writers Buildings on February 13 at 4.30 pm, the chief minister said in his one-page letter.
Trinamul sources said Mamata is peeved that the letter had not been addressed to her.
We can have a dialogue only if farmland acquired in Singur is returned and plans to acquire farmland in Nandigram and Bhangar are shelved. A reply is being sent. The reply has been drafted after consulting Mamata Banerjee, said Chatterjee.
According to him, talks and farmland acquisition cannot continue simultaneously and the chief ministers offer is only an effort to show people that he has given the Opposition a chance.

Is it possible for your man to only find you attractive? Some guys say it is, and some say it isn't. But honestly, what do you think? I don't think it's possible. But then again, I'm only attracted to my man.
Probably not. Men are men, women are women, and humans are humans.

Samsung SSD 960 EVO (500GB) Review and Ratings
This site may earn affiliate commissions from the links on this page. Terms of use.
Our Verdict: The SSD 960 EVO is a wildly fast M.2 drive that's actually semi-affordable. It's an excellent option for almost any user with a PC that supports PCI Express drives, the M.2 form factor, and the NVMe protocol. Read More…
- What We Liked…
- Exceptional performance for the price
- Next-gen SSD technology, on all fronts
- What We Didn't…
- Shorter warranty period than Samsung's SSD 850 EVO

Samsung SSD 960 EVO (500GB) Review
By December 19, 2016reviewed
Table of Contents
Introduction, Design & Features
Samsung has made quite a reputation for itself in the solid-state-drive (SSD) sphere over the past five years, starting with its SSD 830 Series drives and really hitting its stride with the SSD 840 series that followed.
The SSD 840 EVO, in particular, became a smash hit. It was the first SSD to feature a new type of flash memory (for SSDs, at least) called triple-level-cell (TLC) NAND. This technology allowed Samsung to offer its drives at an extremely reasonable price, while still offering best-in-class performance. Samsung then followed up that success with the SSD 850 EVO, which again featured an all-new type of NAND memory: 3D TLC NAND. It was essentially the same type of memory as in the previous drive—TLC NAND flash—but stacked vertically, one layer atop the other, instead of laid down side by side. This allowed for higher densities and better endurance, as well as a further cost reduction.
Though we don't have exact sales numbers to back it up, it seems like the SSD 850 EVO was the biggest success of all, as it offered blistering performance along with the longest warranty in its class, making it a best seller and arguably the best all-around SSD available for most of the past two years. In fact, it's still being made and sold now, more than two years after its launch. That's a tough act to follow, but Samsung has finally delivered the successor to the SSD 850 EVO, and the company is once again taking the SSD world to new heights with the unsurprisingly named SSD 960 EVO.
Though the new drive isn't as groundbreaking in terms of technology as the previous drives in the series, it's definitely state of the art, incorporating every bit of the latest technology available. As such, it's poised to repeat the success of the previous drive, offering class-leading performance and endurance at a very reasonable price. Just know that you'll need a fairly recent desktop or laptop if you want to use it, given the form factor and interface that it uses.
Design & Features
The SSD world has been trying to move away from the aging Serial ATA (SATA) interface, which was designed for spinning hard drives, for at least a couple of years now, with mixed success. On the one hand, who doesn't want faster SSDs? But not all motherboards or portable PCs support the format that the industry has decided will be its successor, which is now firmly recognized as PCI Express, using the M.2 form factor.
The problem with SATA is that its bandwidth maxes out at a theoretical 600MB per second, and SSDs have been capable of eclipsing those speeds for quite a while, leaving us saddled with drives that could theoretically go faster, but attached to a too-narrow pipeline. Another factor hobbling SSD performance has been the protocol called AHCI, or Advanced Host Controller Interface. It sits between the OS and the drive, functioning as an air-traffic controller of sorts. Like SATA, it was designed for hard drives, so it too acts as a governor on SSD performance. Since PCI Express was chosen as the successor to SATA, a new protocol to direct traffic was needed, too, one that was designed from the ground up for SSDs. It's here, and it's called "NVMe," which stands for Non-Volatile Memory Express. (For a further primer on SSD basics and terminology, check our feature Buying a Solid-State Drive: 20 Terms You Need to Know.)
The reason for all this backstory is that the Samsung SSD 960 EVO supports both of these new technologies, so it's referred to broadly as a PCI Express NVMe SSD. This means it attaches to the PCI Express bus, and has NVMe behind the scenes controlling its traffic. In other words, with these two key technologies in place, SSDs can finally reach their true potential.
In terms of numbers, that means where SATA drives are limited to around 550MB per second for sequential transfer speeds due to the bandwidth of the interface, the SSD 960 EVO is capable of up to 3.2GB per second in sequential-read speeds, and 1.9GB per second for sequential writes. That's gigabytes per second, not megabytes, so this drive is roughly six times faster in reads (and almost four times faster in writes) than a speedy SATA-based SSD. It's able to crank out more than 400 percent more IOPS in random read and write operations than the SATA-based SSD 850 EVO, as well. That's an incredible amount of progress from one drive series to the next. We've been used to minimal gains, at best, in the SATA-drive world for a few years now, as they've slammed up against the limits of the aging interface.
Since the SSD 960 EVO rides the PCI Express bus, it uses the gumstick-like M.2 form factor. It also carries the number "2280" as part of its specifications. This signifies that the drive is 22mm wide and 80mm long. The M.2 slot actually accepts a number of different lengths of M.2 SSDs, which was one of the reasons the format was adopted: More chips (and therefore capacity) can be added to a drive simply by extending its length. Or, if not much capacity is needed, an M.2 drive can be made shorter to fit in smaller spaces, like in tiny, slim 2-in-1 convertibles or very compact desktops.
As with other high-end SSDs these days, the SSD 960 EVO uses four PCI Express lanes, also referred to as an "x4" configuration. This type of interface is supported only on recent motherboards (typically Intel Z170 and X99 chipsets, though upcoming Z270 and some AMD AM4 motherboards will presumably support these types of drives, as well). But if you have a desktop, you can alternately add one of these drives to your system via a PCI Express adapter card, provided your motherboard has a spare PCI Express x4 or x16 slot. If you have an older Z97 board, it might have an M.2 slot, but those are typically SATA only, and so won't work with this drive. But check your motherboard's manual to be sure.
To deal with all the extra data that this drive is capable of slinging on a per-second basis, Samsung also had to create a new controller, dubbed Polaris. In case you're wondering, there's no relation to AMD's recent graphics architecture of the same name, found in cards like the AMD Radeon RX 480. The Polaris controller is used in the also-new Samsung SSD 960 Pro, the costlier model of Samsung's new M.2 lineup, which uses multi-level-cell (MLC) flash, rather than the TLC used by the SSD 960 EVO we're looking at here. In the SSD 960 EVO drive, the new five-core Polaris controller interfaces with the also-new 48-layer, third-generation 3D V-NAND made by Samsung. For context, the SSD 850 EVO uses the company's second-generation flash memory, which topped out at 32 layers. So this is a decent bump in capacity, from that perspective.
The SSD 960 EVO is being offered in 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB capacities, and the rated endurance increases as you add more flash to the drive, naturally. Compared to the SSD 850 EVO, the endurance ratings have increased slightly at each capacity. The listed endurance is up 25TB over its lifetime for the 250GB drive, for a total of 100 terabytes written (TBW). The 500GB drive is good for 200TBW, and the 1TB can handle a whopping 400TBW, up from 300TB on the previous model.
Despite these sky-high endurance numbers, the drive is offered with a short three-year warranty, which is two years shorter than the SATA-based SSD 850 EVO. We're not sure why Samsung shortened the warranty here, as the previous five-year warranty was one of its biggest selling points, granting it the status of having the longest warranty in its segment of the market. If you do want the longer warranty in this form factor, you'll have to step up to the more-expensive SSD 960 Pro, which ships with five years of coverage.
Software & Pricing
On the software front, Samsung has promised a new "5.0" version of its Magician software, but it wasn't yet available when we wrote this. Though we have always enjoyed using the previous versions of the Magician software, it makes sense that the company would revamp it for its new flagship NVMe drives. The updated software will reportedly offer a new interface and some new features, but we'll have to wait to find out what they are. Samsung also makes drive-migration software, so you can transfer your files and/or operating system from an old drive to your new Samsung drive.
Like the SSD 850 EVO, the SSD 960 EVO includes hardware encryption, in case you deal in sensitive data, which also makes this drive an excellent upgrade option for laptop users concerned about data security.
As far as pricing goes, we looked online and saw the following numbers. Pricing for the SSD 960 EVO when we wrote this was $129 (for the 250GB capacity), $249.99 (for the 500GB), and $479 (for the 1TB version). The highest capacity wasn't yet available in stock when we were wrapping up this review, with most stores listing it as arriving in the early days of 2017.
Those prices are definitely higher than you'd pay for a mainstream SATA drive at each capacity, but they are quite a bit less than the current going rate for the SSD 960 Pro, which starts at around $330 for the lowest-capacity (512GB) model, and sells for about $630 for the 1TB model. The SSD 960 Pro model also comes in a 2TB capacity, but at $1,299, you'll really have to need that much fast storage to splurge on a drive that costs more than most complete PCs do.
For comparison purposes, let's take a look at one of the best budget-priced SATA-based SSDs when we wrote this, the Crucial MX300. It's available in both the M.2 form factor and a standard 2.5-inch drive, and it sells at the same price points, no matter which you choose. When we wrote this in late December 2016, the MX300 was selling for just $85 for the 275GB capacity, around $130 for the 525GB capacity, and $259 for the 1TB model.
That means (at least for the two higher-end models) you can get about twice the capacity for the same price by opting for a SATA drive. But if your system supports PCI Express NVMe drives, it may not support a SATA drive at all in its M.2 slot, so be sure what works for you before buying. And while SATA drives are still far more affordable, even the best of them can't come close to catching the SSD 960 EVO in performance, as we're about to see.

Samsung SSD 960 EVO (500GB)
Our Verdict: The SSD 960 EVO is a wildly fast M.2 drive that's actually semi-affordable. It's an excellent option for almost any user with a PC that supports PCI Express drives, the M.2 form factor, and the NVMe protocol.

Influx of children is encouraged
Someone is putting out the word in Central America that the U.S. will accept any undocumented juveniles' parents sent to our country. Obama's Health and Human Services is indeed accepting them and planning shelters for them, like the one the Escondido Planning Commission recently rejected.
Why would these parents so willingly part with their children? Are they also being told that once their children are here the parents will be brought in too? The stated mission of HHS' unaccompanied minors program is "reunifying unaccompanied immigrant children with their families."
This is a classic case of the camel getting his nose under the tent. The parents of these young people are probably coming here too. These families will serve as a powerful magnet for thousands more to come.
Through its immigration policies, the Obama administration seems determined to bankrupt our country by forcing it to support new millions of unauthorized immigrants. So far its efforts are succeeding.
Warren Johnson
Child immigration add
Let's start by calling it what it really is, more illegal immigration and more burden to American taxpayers, thanks to the policies and lack of real enforcement, from this administration.
Being from Latin America, I am not surprised that they don't try to elude border agents and quickly surrender once they encounter agents. They know they have a free pass from the Obama administration and they have nothing to fear. News of his lax policies, regarding illegal immigration and lack of care for America and Americans, travel fast in Latin America. All this surge was prompted by the dreamers and this children were just send here for a chance to get in the wagon.
The lame excuse that they are fleeing from gangs crime and domestic violence in their countries is only to justify the problem, because gangs and domestic violence have existed in Latin America all along, and it will never change because of the corruption in those countries.
Time to demand action from this administration, to force Mexico and all the countries involved to deal with the problem and take the children back at their expense. This will solve the problem and force them to take responsibility.
Ana Zuniga-Maus
San Diego
Child immigration add II
The government and news reporters seem to have no answers to the situation where children from Mexico and Central America are pouring across our southern border.
The government is wringing its hands as to what to do. The answer is obvious: Mexico is implicit in taking children from its southern border with Guatemala by buses to its northern border with the United States and dumping them. Mexico has extreme laws controlling who comes into its country, and they back up those laws. (Our country should emulate Mexico and control our borders but doesn't.) Any intruder across any of Mexico's borders is dealt with severely. But it has chosen to abet the thousands of children and help them reach the U.S. by bus.
Guatemala is as guilty as Mexico by allowing children from Honduras and El Salvador to pass through its borders into Mexico. It wouldn't surprise me if the two countries are working together to make this happen. The U.S. taxpayers give a great deal of money to both countries every year. Our government should inform both countries that the free money stops. The problem would be solved.
Robert "Zeb" Zbornak
Country doesn't need more grandstanding
John Boehner — please stop. Both sides of the aisle in Washington are focused on "gotcha" politics and grandstanding.
The nation doesn't need Boehner to sue the president. We need Boehner and the rest of Washington to focus on solving problems and not political grandstanding.
We, the people, need to start asking anyone running for office what, specifically, are they going to do to solve our nation's problems.
When are we going to start sending people to D.C. who focus on our nation's problems — education, infrastructure, job creation, immigration and ensuring our country remains a technological leader? Yes, this is our fault.
Hunt Eggleston
Rancho Bernardo
Iraqi government failed its people
All the talk about what the U.S. should or could have done in Iraq misses the only important point.
We fought and bled there for years. We threw out a dictator, and knocked down the jihadists, and left the country with relative peace and all the training, material and money necessary to build a future as well as the military force to defend it.
All they needed to do was form a government that their own people would be willing to defend. They failed to do that.
The problem today is not any lack of U.S. support; it is a lack of willingness on their part to risk their lives. They lack that will because their government is another corrupt dictatorship. Who can blame them? Who wants to die for a corrupt politician?
We could go back, and lose more American lives and spend another fortune, but that only postpones the Iraqi bloodshed until after we leave.
We missed our only opportunity to help the vast majority of Iraqis who want peace when we failed to ensure that the Iraqi government we midwifed was honest, competent and fair to all Iraqis.
Michael Snare
San Diego
Forget Iraq, keep money here
President Obama says no "boots" on the ground in Iraq. Interesting to learn that our military advisers don't wear boots. As I recall Vietnam started with advisers.
The Sunnis and Shiites have been fighting each other for centuries. The U.S. isn't going to change the Mideast, so here is a new idea for the president: Stop all foreign aid and spend the money on things the taxpayers need.
Bud Branson
Feds should stay out of 'Redskins' issue
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office can rescind federal trademark protection for the Washington Redskins. Has the PC police taken over our government?
Where does all this PC end? How about the Chicago Blackhawks, the Cleveland Indians, the Golden State Warriors? Will our government, in the name of PC, rescind the rights of these franchises?
Heck, what about the Boston Celtics? Wouldn't want to offend the proud Irish heritage. What about the N.Y. Knicks? Wouldn't want to offend the original Dutch settlers of New York. When we allow our government to usurp the rights of our free enterprise system, there will be chaos. I say allow our free enterprise system to police matters of this nature. Quit buying tickets to their events. Quit buying their team gear. They will eventually get the message.
Michael Ginesi
Take a Navy shower to conserve water
Here's a way to save tens of millions of gallons of water a day: Everyone should take Navy showers. Sailors on ships would turn on the water, get wet, turn off the water, lather and wash, and then turn the water back on to rinse.
We have to do the same.

Safe concentration for total pirlimycin residues in milk = 0.4 ppm
Metabolism data showed that total residues in milk were
95% parent pirlimycin and <5% sulfoxide metabolite.
Marker residue for pirlimycin in milk is assigned as pirlimycin parent.
The tolerance for pirlimycin in milk was established at 0.4 ppm
(95% x 0.4 = 0.38).
Violative Residues – above the tolerance
Safe Residues –
below the tolerance
Objective: Conduct a residue depletion study under field conditions and use the regulatory method to determine when the marker residue depletes to below the tolerance.
- determine the withdrawal period or
milk discard time
Definition: The time interval between the last administration of a sponsored compound and when the animal can be safely slaughtered for food or the milk can be safely consumed.
The calculation involves an upper tolerance limit and confidence interval.
The data were analyzed to determine the statistical tolerance limit
for the 99th percentile of the population with 95% confidence.
At 36 hours milk discard time, pirlimycin residues in milk will have
depleted to below the 0.4 ppm tolerance.

Video of cop attack which left teen brain damaged finally released
THIS is the shocking moment a policeman tasered a teenager until he suffered a cardiac arrest, resulting in a coma and permanent brain damage.
When policeman Timothy Runnels pulled 17-year-old Bryce Masters over, it looked like a routine traffic stop.
But when Runnels asked Bryce to get out of his car, he refused – a decision that had far-reaching consequences.
The horrific attack that followed – where Runnels ruthlessly tasered Bryce until his heart failed – has seen the cop sentenced to four years in prison.
In this shocking clip, Runnels can be heard asking: "Do you really want to get tasered right now in the middle of your car?"
He then shoots Bryce in the chest with electricity for nearly 23 seconds – over four times longer than officers are supposed to keep the current running.
Bryce's ear-splitting screams are proof enough of the indescribable pain he must have felt at the electric shock.
In another awful display of brutality, Runnels then deliberately drops the handcuffed Bryce face-first onto the pavement with a sickening thud.
Finally, he drags the unconscious Bryce to the side of the road.
Bryce went into a coma after the attack and his brain was reportedly without oxygen for up to eight minutes.
Ambulance crews struggled to revive Bryce at the scene, before he was rushed to hospital.
The small town of Independence, Missouri, US, was the centre of media attention after the attack in 2014.
This new footage has only just emerged during the Runnels' trial and was used as evidence to convict him of violating the constitutional rights of a minor in his custody.
His devastated father, Matt Masters, told the court last month: "Bryce was clinically dead. We cried and prayed that God would bring him back to us."
Bryce will most likely suffer from brain damage for the rest of his life thanks to the incident.
Matt, who is also a police officer, added: "We've been in a continual state of sadness since that day. He wants his life back."
Bryce has suffered memory loss since the attack, and has struggled to focus and retain information – meaning his plans for college must be put on hold.
The Masters family added in a statement: "No one really wins in this scenario. Two law enforcement families were devastated by these events and we all simply wish that day had never happened."
Although using a taser is a legal means of law enforcement in the US, it has often been associated with deaths and the suggestion of unnecessary police brutality.
There have been 55 police killings in the US in 2016 alone, according to database The Counted.

Thanks for your advice, and it makes me feel better. Today I feel like my LO was in timeout most of the afternoon. The hardest part for me is that I have to constantly leave my 9 mo old baby in the high chair or pack & play to deal with timeouts, and it just not fair to her especially during meal times. I'm so frustrated by it lately. I am definitely guilty of not being consistent so I need to fix that. Sometimes im so exhausted to get up and drag him to time out that I give him another chance or more warnings or let it go completely. (for time out, I use a booster chair on a carpeted floor facing a corner so that I can buckle him in) Most of the time I have to pick him up and carry him there because he wont go on his own. Then I use the microwave timer which is 2 rooms away from the corner so Im running back and forth. I guess I should buy a mini timer to keep in that room.
Starting tomorrow I am going to make an effort to stay consistent.

I got a great compliment from one of his counselors today. He's the youngest at camp and they said he was the 'best behaved'. Did that happen overnight? No. Did that even happen the first week of camp? No? He had to test his boundaries. He had to see how much he could get away with and who would let him. Once we chatted that if he was good X would happen and if he got a negative report X would happen, he turned into a different boy.
Children crave boundaries. Create them and then STICK to them.
My 2.5 year old was speech delayed and has some sensory issues which means when he gets frustrated he couldn't verbalize it, so he would hit. He knows at this point if he hits one time he goes straight to time out. I swear it felt like he was in time out for days....but he learned.
Good luck! Pick your rules and STICK to them. Know he is going to test you and it won't change overnight. Baby steps.
I forgot to mention the running. Luke is a runner. I don't use 123 magic because I don't want to have to choose between counting or saving him from being crushed by a car. So I always start carry him out of wherever we are. I give him a choice. You can walk like a big boy and hold my hand, or I will carry you. What do you want? He tested me for week. Every time he ran, I would catch him and scoop him up. He hated being carried when his big brother got to walk. Over time he learned, hold hand or be carried.

Hoe much milk to express for a feed?
Hi everyone
My little girl is 4 weeks & 3 days and we're planning to try her soon with a bottle of expressed breath milk for one of her feeds. As I've been breastfeeding her up to now I have no idea how much she's drinking each time & so how much to express - does anyone know roughly how much she should be getting per feed at this age?

The Hoffman Group is proud to be a locally owned independent real estate sales and marketing company. For many years, we have been the Myrtle Beach area's leading marketer of OCEANFRONT resort condominiums. We have led the market in sales for over twenty years and are credited with changing the face of the Grand Strand. With Billions of dollars in sales, and a force of some thirty oceanfront condominium sales specialists, The Hoffman Group will assist you in understanding the market and in identifying the best purchase opportunities available.
The Myrtle Beach market has been explosive and is in the process of significant growth and change. Today it is critical that purchasers identify with the proven development teams that will deliver quality properties in an experienced and integrated manner. These are the properties that The Hoffman Group offers. It is our pleasure to represent these fine developments.
History / Philosophy
Myrtle Beach's Oceanfront Dream Makers
Meet the dream makers… the visionaries… the oceanfront gurus. That's right. The Hoffman Group is far more than the premier oceanfront condominium sales and marketing company in Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach. They are the markets' visionaries, its dream makers.
Since inception in 1984, the company is credited with having created and led most every major trend in this dynamic "niche" segment of the market. Its sales force, following the founder's astounding vision with clarity, focus and zeal, has sold thousands of oceanfront condominiums within dozens and dozens of resorts. The process has changed the physical landscape as well as the economic landscape and driven resort condominium prices to unprecedented heights.
1984 saw the beginning of the worst real estate market the area had ever witnessed. Like many other resort areas throughout the country, Myrtle Beach was devastated by a number of negative factors including soaring interest rates and proposed tax reform. While other companies froze in inaction, and ultimately ignored the oceanfront segment of the market for years, David Hoffman assembled his initial small team of warriors (many of whom are with the company today), developed an aggressive vision and market strategy, and succeeded in selling high volumes of property for an array of struggling banks and developers.
Hoffman's group quickly became regarded as "THE" oceanfront condominium solution, selling through hundreds of sales in a myriad of "failed" resorts. In 1991, after years of turning around a languishing resale market, Hoffman introduced the first in a succession of new construction, presale development projects. Again the company met with resounding success and Myrtle Beach was once again on the rise.

Welcome to the hard streets.
These are four of the nastiest stories I have ever written.
"Leftovers" - What's left of a man when everything worth losing has already been lost? Is vengeance worth any price? Ask Father Simon. Leftovers is a story of redemption, sacrifice, and leftovers. It is a story of the bottom and what you find lying beneath it. It is a novella-length story that will shock even the most hardened reader.
"Statistic" - Just when you think you don't count anymore you come to the bridge and you find what you really are counted for.
"Soul Survivor" - You didn't really think the devil was just after souls, now did you? This one is more weird than nasty but who cares? It all comes out in the wash....
"Dopple Dribble" - A dark and nasty yarn about a man who is haunted by a basketball. This might sound a little goofy but once you get into this tale you are never going to sit comfortably when you hear the sound of a basketball being dribbled down the evening sidewalk.
"[Leftovers] is as dark and grimy as the back alleys of skid row - displays author Vernon at his finest: just when you think the horror can't get any worse, he employs his bizarre-style to twist 'Leftovers' into a surreal story that you just won't be able to shake off. 'Leftovers' is a must for Steve Vernon fans, as well as those who like their horror shocking and off-centered - and most amazingly, there's still bits of the author's trademark humor despite the seriousness of the story."

Grief: The Uninvited Party Guest That Never Leaves
- Jim "The Impatient"


text: I am looking at purchasing a skid mount sprayer and was wondering what you guys use, suggest, and what to watch for? I already know I want the Honda engine and either a 200 or 300 gallon tank. I will use it for weed control and fertilizing, I guess that makes a difference in pump choices. Also, should I get one capable of agitating the mix. I just want to make sure I get every option I will need so I don't have to get a different one a year down the road because I missed something. Any opinions are appreciated. Thank you.

I used this Haynes Ford Escort and Orion Service and Repair manual to maintain my escort estate. You can't really fault it. The descriptions are accurate and the pictures, if at times a bit dark, really help you figure out what you're meant to be looking at.

I want to pick it apart and use the best ideas to create ours. I'd like to see how you laid the contract out and what are some of the best issues that you addressed. I'll have our lawyer look over our new contract and post it on here to get everyone's opinion. Thanks for the help.

Featuring David Sedaris's unique blend of hilarity and heart, this new collection of keen-eyed animal-themed tales is an utter delight. Though the characters may not be human, the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the insanity of everyday life.
In "The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck," three strangers commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a complaint line. In "Hello Kitty," a cynical feline struggles to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In "The Squirrel and the Chipmunk," a pair of star-crossed lovers is separated by prejudiced family members.
With original illustrations by Ian Falconer, author of the bestselling Olivia series of children's books, these stories are David Sedaris at his most observant, poignant, and surprising.
Like a modern-day Aesop or La Fontaine, Sedaris has his darkly comic and deeply cynical (if somewhat rambling) morality stories enacted by animals. Although Sedaris typically narrates his works solo, here he is joined by Dylan Baker, Siân Phillips, and (the incomparable) Elaine Stritch. The dry tones of both women are particularly well suited to the knowing commentary offered by various domesticated, barnyard, and wild animals on casual racism, self-congratulatory sanctimony, poor excuses for adultery, and fad spiritualism, among other common societal ills. The audiobook features a bonus fable not available in the text version of the book; in addition, the third CD includes PDFs of the book's illustrations by Ian Falconer (writer/illustrator of the Olivia picture book series). A Little, Brown hardcover. (Sept.)

Does reverting to stock via HTC Sync permanently disable root? I can still boot up into Recovery manually and go back to a nand backup and all that. But I can't get adb to do anything ("adb denied" error and "su denied" error). I also can't get Windows-Recovery.bat to recognize the stupid phone. Maybe I should return it and get a fresh phone?

the sites & nightlife of cartagena
Cartagena Travel Blog› entry 7 of 11 › view all entries
as for the nightlife... it is pretty much non existent end of april it seems.
reunited with the irish/english gang we went on a search for a good spot on friday night but there was nothing going on. some couples in the salsa bar, more couples in the upscale club inside the walled city, and of course, prostitutes hanging around every where else. went home frustrated at 4am.
during the day cartagena is definitely more fun. good (and expensive) restaurants, a nice fort and a very picturesque city together with a cuba-like colorscheme and laid back feeling. people are very dark & carribean looking here, very different from bogota and medellin (well, you cant really tell in medellin since you have to look past 10 plastic surgeries first)
spent thu & sat night with a german-teaching couchsurfer and her friends but still, nightlife does not even come close to bogota. its supposed to be better during high season, but im not sure. if only bogota was a bit warmer and at the coast... :)
the 5 star hotels in the walled city seem to attract some gringo tourist couples with money instead of the usual colombia visitors.
spent sunday checking out the beacher near the mini-manhattan that is the penninsula of bocagrande full with high-rise hotels and appartment-buildings. and the beach was terrible, really terrible. time to move to a proper beach i thought and i quickly ordered a door-to-door shared minivan to santa marta for the next day.

In 1981 Sandra Day O'Connor became the first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
At that time less than 6 percent of all federal judges were women.
In 1993 Ruth Bader Ginsburg became the second woman on the Supreme Court.
In her acceptance speech, she said that her nomination "contributes to the end of the days when women, at least half the talent pool of our society, appear in high places only as one-at-a-time performers."

NetoraRennai Overflowing With NTR
- Categories: Games, H, News
- Date: Dec 14, 2016 03:49 JST
- Tags: Ahegao, DLSite, Doujin Soft, Eroge, Fetish, Image Gallery, Oppai, Oshiri, Visual Novels
Valkyria's tendency to cuck good-natured male protagonists has unsurprisingly played a part in their newest release entitled "NetoraRennai", sure to make a great addition to the already colossal pile of rapaciously twisted eroge in existence.
As many could suspect, the title revolves around blackmail and the protagonist's love interest getting the brunt of the abuse, a fantasy that many eroge players apparently possess judging by the success of such uplifting titles.
NetoraRennai provides players with a vast amount of perversion and even has several animated scenes; the game is available now.

War veterans find it pays to stick together
Riverland ex-servicemen who have lost touch with their wartime mates could be missing out on entitlements, according to a local advocate.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Pension and welfare officer Loella Bartlett from the Riverland Veterans Centre in Berri said veterans were often unaware of available services.
"A lot of our World War II veterans haven't made any claims," she said.
"I did a claim for a gentleman the other day who's 87... the last time he did his claim was in 1946.
"When they came back [from war] - especially the Riverland and the country fellas - they came back to no work, they had to build up blocks or businesses and make a new start in life.
"There wasn't a lot of communication out of the Department of Veteran Affairs at the time as to what the entitlements were.
"As the years went on from World War II and into Korea some of the benefits became more freely available, but the word never filtered down.
"A lot of our veterans didn't keep in touch with the RSL and if you don't keep in touch with your RSL or your band of mates that you were in the army or airforce or navy with, you don't know what's going on or what benefits are out there."
Mrs Bartlett and fellow pension and welfare officers Pauline Gilbert and Glen Saint volunteer about 20 hours per week to help returned service personnel and their families.
A staunch advocate for local veterans, Mrs Bartlett said one of the difficulties the Riverland Veterans Centre experienced was being unable to access the names of local returned service personnel.
"Part of our biggest problem at the centre is we don't know where all our veterans are, and that's because of the privacy act," she said.
The centre helps ex-servicemen and women, war widows and dependents with lodging claims for pensions, income and disability support, domiciliary care and mobility aids.
Mrs Bartlett said on average more than 10 people accessed the service each week.
"We will have Vietnam veterans come in saying they have just moved into the area and want to join their local RSL," she said.
"People come in and say they want to join the Korean South East Asian Association.
"While we're having a chat we often find out that there are entitlements that are still outstanding and that they haven't made claims for things they are entitled to.
"I've been doing this role for about three and a half years and it's been a real eye opener to me to find the number of World War II veterans who haven't received any disability compensation.
"We've just picked them up by referrals from occupational therapists or other professionals that find there's something wrong and in conversation learn they haven't been receiving benefits."
The Riverland Veterans Centre is located at the Berri RSL branch along Strawbridge St in Berri and is open on Wednesday from 10am to 3pm.
Alternatively staff can be contacted on 8582 5178.
"We are virtually on 24-hour call for our veterans, if they need us we are there," Mrs Bartlett said.
"We can arrange an appointment and if need be we're happy to come and see people in their homes."

- Brownstone Village 7 Piece Dining Set
Q:Does the 7 piece set work without extending the leaf? Meaning can I fit two more chairs and seat up to eight when fully extended or is six as many as this table seats?Asked on 11/16/2016 by Danielle from MA
1 answer
A:Good Morning,
This 7 piece set does work without extending the leaf. It is also possible to seat 8 with two additional chairs, however, with this table it is a tight fit. This table is 66" long and opens to 84" with the leaf. We suggest that if you are looking to have more space and seat 8 comfortably you may want to take a look at the Trestle Table in this same collection which is 78" long and opens to 106" with the (2) 14" leaves on either end. It is SKU DZ3027600 or view it here at: http://www.jordans.com/legacy-classic-brownstone-village-table-dz3027600.
Thank You,

Conservative boss comes laden with possibilities
As Cameron's visit nears, John-Paul McCarthy looks at the historical relationship between Tory and Irish leaders
British Prime Minister David Cameron is due here next week. And though he studied constitutional history with Vernon Bogdanor at Oxford as a beginning boy, Cameron may not yet know what we expect from a Tory First Lord.
The Victorian historian of the Cromwellian land dispossessions, James Patrick Prendergast, explained that the name 'Tory' comes from the antique Irish term for banditry. Cameron's lot have often risen above their inauspicious baptism though.
Disraeli spoke for many Tory ghosts when he said that he hoped "the time may never come when the love of fame shall cease to be the sovereign passion of our public men". Fame here required a certain coup d'oeil, or a hunger to build for the ages.
