Right there, at the center of all things
At the top of this forever-now
rests a place where wonderment and risk are married
where the infinity of what's possible
thrills and terrifies and spellbinds our animal brains.
Will we thrive?
Will we die?
Will there be stasis?
Never for long.
Sometimes we hesitate to reach out of what feels safe
because we know that being bitten is just as much of a possibility as being caressed.
I think regret might be worse.
Regret is a deathbed for thousands of worthy threads we never followed,
all the bright ribbons that whispered, "this way!"
as we stood rooted in our desire for something constant.
For safety.
All of the risk-takers I know live in technicolor.
They use fear as their seasoning, counting on it as a companion not-always wise but always present.
If everything is a risk
and we get to decide how we dance with that, these folks are
doing the twist atop a swan float party boat on the river Styx.
Or very quietly finding the groundless center of their lives on a meditation cushion.
All effort is brave and worthy.
Here's what I know:
you cannot get small enough
humble enough
or isolated enough
to avoid that stunning verdant scaly visitor.
All we know for certain is that we're alive and at some point we die.
you either cower in the dark
you either cower in the dark
or reach for the light
or fucking conga-line the shit out of this
present moment.
So? So.
I'll see you on the dance floor, Star.
present moment.
So? So.
I'll see you on the dance floor, Star.
Fine double milled veg-tanned leather
tooled and painted and stitched
lined in blood red suede
wild war-paint touches of crimson and turquoise chevron spikes
Southwest-inspired turn latch
warm and wild
in the
later today
I just got back from Washington state a few days ago. I spent four days surrounded by friends and love, where one of my best girls sat with her own eternal now,
one that is sharp and beautiful and painful.
In her now she monitors and combats cancerous cells
and also she gardens.
She attends constant doctor's appointments
and builds jewelry from scratch.
She lives on the knife edge
where grief and bravery
and grace and humor
In her now she is bitten. Blooming still.
In her now she is gifted.
Walking through the fire.
We've started a GoFundMe page
for her treatment and healing:

Pushing the body beyond its limits with Blu Nathan
Montreal-based yoga instructor Blu Nathan shows inner and outward strength as he pushes his body to the extreme. The Canadian, who grew up in a spiritual family, only grew an interest in yoga in his early 30s. At a young age, it's other types of arts that attracted him. From writing, design, music, acrobatics and healing, he explored different discipline but started to look for one that could fuse all these creative and spiritual elements. When he started practicing yoga, it was an instant revelation. The discipline helped him to heal from psoriasis, gain flexibility beyond expectations and recover at light speed from an Achilles' tendon graft. It is after that last incident in its mid-30s that he decided to turn out of the fashion world he was working in for 16 years, to only focus on the things he truly loves. Pursuing his dreams, he travelled to Bali to learn Pranala Yoga. Shortly after, he opened his own Yoga School in Montreal.
Watch him push his body beyond its limits in this video.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Though some U.S. retail service stations are selling gasoline for less than $3, drivers may expect some pain at the pump for Thanksgiving, AAA said Monday.
AAA said the national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in the United States was $3.28 per gallon, an increase of 7 cents compared with the previous week. AAA spokesman Michael Green told United Press International the increase in price was because of lingering refinery issues.
"These higher prices are coming at exactly the wrong time for the nearly 39 million Americans that plan to travel by car for the Thanksgiving holiday," he said.
Green said seasonal maintenance at oil refineries is taking longer than expected to conclude. The price increase is likely temporary, he said, though most markets won't see any relief until after the Thanksgiving holiday.
AAA said Missouri had the cheapest state average price Monday with $2.99 per gallon. One in 10 U.S. stations is selling gasoline for less than $3 per gallon.
"Despite the recent increase in prices, gasoline remains relatively inexpensive compared to recent years," Green said. "Today's national average is 15 cents per gallon less than a year ago, and many drivers should pay the cheapest prices since 2010 for the holiday."

JINsoon Nail Polish: Chinoiserie Holiday Set
$ 33.60 $ 42.00
Why Shen Loves It: The JINsoon Holiday 2015 Collection is inspired by Chinoiserie, a 17th century French design style meaning "Chinese-esque," which is characterized by the use of fanciful imagery, using asymmetry in its format and random contrasts of scale. "I was drawn to the elegant hues and design components used in Chinoiserie décor, specifically jewelry," says Jin Soon Choi. "When I explored these elements further, they formed the perfect basis for the creation of this holiday collection."
Glacé - A mix of silver, gold, and blue in variously sized round glitters
Cachet - A light, subtle shimmery gold
Opulence - A striking, romantic red lacquer with a touch of metallic dust
All JINsoon formulas are 5-free and formulated without harsh chemicals such as formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, formaldehyde resin and camphor. A high gloss nail lacquer that is long lasting with a chip-proof finish and a rapid drying time. This double patented formula delivers a long-lasting manicure with a rich and lustrous color payoff in a single coat.

It's a super long shot, but with the Seahawks playing the New Orleans Saints this weekend, it would be great to get some Abita beer for the party.
Anyone have an idea where I could get some out here in Seattle?
Bottleworks doesn't have it and neither does Uber Tavern.
Haven't called Brouwer's but it's not on their website, and I haven't seen it there in the past.
I had some at the New Orleans Restaurant down in Pioneer Square, but I don't think they'll just sell me bottles... (especially with the expected crowd that night)
Any thoughts?

13 January 2013 , | United Arab Emirates - Standard Chartered announced today the return of the legendary road race duo Henry Wanyoike and Joseph Kibunja, who will be running in the 10km event at the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon 2013 taking place on Friday 25th January. Visually impaired Henry, the world record holder of the 5,000m and 10,000m events at the Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004 Paralympics, and his long-time running partner and childhood friend Joseph are taking part as Goodwill Ambassadors for 'Seeing is Believing' (SiB), Standard Chartered Bank's global programme to raise USD 100 million to eliminate avoidable blindness by 2020.
Henry runs in races while being connected by a tether on the wrist to Joseph, who guides him, without breaking stride, through the obstacles, turns or when to accelerate along the route.
Commenting on the return of the widely admired running duo, Jonathan Morris, CEO, Standard Chartered UAE, said:
"Henry and Joseph served as a great inspiration to a multitude of participants at last year's Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon and we hope to build on this intimate connection to draw greater awareness about the Bank's 'Seeing is Believing' initiative. Their presence adds a new dimension to the marathon, inspiring participants to run for a noble reason and purpose. Following the excellent response they received during their community engagement activities last year, I am sure that their fans and the rest of the UAE community are looking forward to meeting them again this year."
As 'Seeing is Believing' ambassadors, the duo will be visiting schools across Dubai to create awareness about the programme and inspire other people with their experiences. Henry and Joseph will also conduct running clinics for students who will be taking part at the Dubai Marathon. They will also be visiting the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre to inspire children with special needs.
Henry Wanyoike said:
"The Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon has always been a special event for us because of the enthusiasm of the local running community to be part of our advocacy. We are therefore very excited to be back in Dubai to share our stories and experiences with the growing number of supporters of the 'Seeing is Believing' programme and to ultimately enjoy the fellowship with other running enthusiasts from the UAE and all over the world."
Standard Chartered is putting up a 'Seeing is Believing' tent at the Marathon Village to create awareness about the initiative and raise funds. The booth will be manned by Standard Chartered employees who will provide visitors with information about the programme and sell SiB merchandise. In 2012, over USD 250,000 was raised in the UAE through various initiatives organised by the 'Seeing is Believing' committee.
Standard Chartered has been the title sponsor for the Dubai marathon since 2005. The Bank is the title sponsor of nine marathons across four continents. The marathons characterise the five values of the Bank: Courageous, Responsive, International, Creative, Trustworthy; and further positions Standard Chartered in the market as being 'Here for good'.
Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon has been recognised as among the top five marathons organised globally and the 2012 edition was certified by the IAAF as the Best Marathon in Asia, with nearly 19,000 runners from 90 countries participating. This year the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon expects another record number of participants taking part in the three categories of the event, the 42.195km full marathon, 10km Road Race, 3km Fun Run and Leaders Cup.

Known for their organic beauty products and dedication to uplifting the lives of local farmers, Human Nature reached another milestone in their name by setting up their flagship store in Quezon City. Camille Meloto explains that they wanted the space to be more than just a shop but to truly educate their consumers on what Human Nature is all about.
Decked with inspiring words and motivational quotes, corners of the Human Nature store represents the milestones and values which they as a company cherish.

Mental ContrastingEffects on HealthBehavior
Henrik Singmann1, Andreas Kappes1 & Gabriele Oettingen1,2
1 University of Hamburg 2 New York University
Participants: 132 (+ 16 excluded) University of Hamburg students
Cover story: Participants were told that students after the transition from high school to university tend to change their habits in a unhealthy way. However, it would be easy to become fit again: They need only to include some extra activity in their daily routine, for example, taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
Furthermore participants were told that the impeding reality that keeps most students from becoming fit is Inconvenience.
Expectations of Success: "How likely do you think it is that you will become fit?" (7-point scale)
Desired future: Participants were asked which desired outcome they associated with becoming fit (e.g., improved physical well-being).
Induction of the Experimental Conditions
Participants elaborated:
We examined whether the self-regulatory strategy of mentally contrasting a desired future with the impeding reality (i.e., mental contrasting; overview by Oettingen & Kappes, 2008) leads people to show expectancy-dependent behavior in the health domain. First, we told participants that using stairs is an effective means for becoming fit. Then, we recorded their expectations of successfully becoming fit and induced mental contrasting versus control conditions. Finally we asked participants to complete the last part of the experiment in a room three floors down. As dependent variable, we recorded whether participants took the stairs or the elevator. The results supported our hypotheses: Participants in the mental contrasting condition used the stairs according to their level of expectations for becoming fit, whereas participants in the control conditions did not.
A GLM confirmed the expected interaction of condition with expectations of success on the probability of stair use (1 = stair use up and down; .50 = stair use one way only, either up or down), F(2,126) = 3.37, p = .04:
Control condition
n = 43
Reverse Contrastingn = 45
Mental Contrastingn = 44
Mental contrasting, rather than reverse contrasting or unrelated elaboration, led high-expectancy participants to use the proposed means (i.e. taking the stairs). Hence, we conclude that mental contrasting establishes goal-commitments strong enough to affect behavior.
Dependent Variable: Measure of Health Behavior
Participants were told that the next part of the experiment would be a measure of their BMI. This measure would take place three floors down. They were asked to go there by either the stairs or the elevator, and come back afterwards for the debriefing.
We observed the hall via a video camera and recorded whether participants took the stairs or the elevator.
Manipulation Check for DV
We excluded 16 participants from the analysis who reported suspicion after coming back from the BMI measure.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
personal name "Hereweard," which is in turn made up of the elements "here," which meant army, and "weard," which meant "guard."
Harvard Early Origins
Herefordshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the 13th century when they held estates in that shire.
Harvard Spelling Variations
Harvard Spelling Variations
Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Harvard family name include Havard, Harvard, Haverd, Harverd and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Harvard surname or a spelling variation of the name include:

Genericon menu icon appears as Japanese character
Firstly, thanks for creating a lovely, responsive theme!
I have been testing it out on desktop, tablet and phone. Everything is working fine, except that when I view the test site on my Samsung Galaxy Ace (running Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread) phone, the mobile menu icon which should be three horizontal bars looks instead like a Japanese character.
If I go to http://genericons.com/ on the phone all the icons render correctly, and the same icon in the mobile version of wordpress.org looks OK too.
Any suggestions please?

A few months ago, on a slightly windy, rainy and otherwise dreary Roman winter day my friend Gillian and went foraging. I bet you're wondering what there is to forage in Rome in the middle of February? Plates. We were foraging for plates.
Lately I've become borderline obsessed with piatti di buon riccordo. The 'plates of happy memories' are given out by certain restaurants to commemorate signature dishes. The ceramic plates are hand painted in Vietri sul Mare on the Amalfi coast, but are offered in restaurants up and down the boot. Even since I first discovered them, on a family trip to Sicily in the '70's, I've been fascinated with them. But it's only been in the last couple of years that I have been actively expanding my collection.
The problem is that the plates are not actually for sale. You have to a) go to a member restaurant and b) order that year's featured dish. Or, you can take the alternate route: haunt flea markets and scour ebay.
Which is how Gillian and I found ourselves headed out the Casalina, south of Rome, on our way to 'meet a guy' who supposedly 'had some plates. '
After plugging in his coordinates to google maps (he was in the middle of nowhere just off of a street with no name) I saw that we would be passing right through the Centocelle neighborhood, and so right past Osteria Bonelli, which has been pinned onto my map as 'must try' for ages.
If you've never been to or heard of the Centocelle neighborhood, that's because this highly residential working class neighborhood is far from Rome's center. Not surprisingly, this is also where you can sometimes find the most authentically good Roman food for extremely fair prices.
Osteria Bonelli is located on the ground floor of a nondescript building. The fact that the main view is of the parking lot meant we could drive right up to the front door.
Once inside our main problem was trying to decide what NOT to order. It was lunch time. We were two girls (as opposed to the rest of the customers which seemed to be on breaks from construction sites) so you would think we would have gone light. But really? The only 'salad' in sight was made from nervetti (veal tendons).
Our attempt to stay on the light side meant we eschewed the secondi and just stuck to pasta and veggies. I had the classic tonnarelli alla gricia while Gillian had a heaping plate of pappardelle di ragu bianco di cinghiale e porcini, but we shared both. The gricia was perfect, with a massive amount of chunky bits of guanciale, cooked just right so that the pork was tender yet crisp. The pappardelle was equally delicious, with fat eggy sheets of pasta bathed in a delicate meat ragu flecked with silky porcini.
Since we were road warriors on a mission, a 1/4 litre of the house Montepulciano d'Abruzzo gave us each the half glass to wash it all down in trattoria style.
I'm still slightly regretting not having ordered the 'tris al sugo' a plate for those who can't decide between involtini, sausage and ribs. But the 12 plates I ended up buying from Maurizio down the road slightly relieved my regret. Also? Maurizio still has another 20 plates, and is expecting to have more next month. So I'm thinking there is another road trip in my future.
Osteria Bonelli
Viale dell'Acquedotto Alessandrino 172/174
Open for lunch and dinner. Closed Sunday.
Gillian and I drove, but there is a bus that leaves from Termini, that takes about 20 minutes.
UPDATE: Since everyone was asking where to get the Piatti di Buon Riccordo, I"m adding the link. This is the main website, and this page lists all the restaurants. region by region.

Pirates should be brought to justice
Legal proceedings against five Somali pirates, who tried to hijack a Dutch ship in the Gulf of Aden last year, have started at a court in the Netherlands. The pirates' attempt was foiled and their boat was sunk, and a Danish warship rescued the Somalis. Later, Denmark extradited the pirates to the Netherlands to bring them to justice.

Flags at the state Capitol are flying at half-staff in honor of a World War II airman whose remains recently returned home after being missing in action for nearly 70 years.
Pfc. Mervyn Sims was 23 when he embarked on an April 1943 mission to resupply Chinese nationalist forces after the Japanese cut off land routes when they invaded Burma. Sims and four crew members left Yangkai, China, for the six-hour flight across the Himalayas, but their plane never arrived.
In 2003, a mountaineer came across the crash site, and officials were able to identify some bone fragments as Sims'. His remains were buried with full military honors in his hometown of Petaluma last week.
Gov. Jerry Brown ordered the Capitol's flags lowered Monday and is sending Sims' family a letter of condolence.

Welcome To Vegan Cooking For Carnivores
I came up with the idea for Vegan Cooking for Carnivores because I realized that while I think vegan cooking is an easy thing to do, most carnivores panic at the thought of having to cook a vegan meal.
I'm not here to tell you to go vegan I simply want to show you how easy it really is to make tasty vegan food that will satisfy even the pickiest meat eaters, so if one day you need to cook for a vegan or decide you'd like to eat less meat and incorporate vegan food in your diet, you'll know exactly what to do.

I'm not currently a vegan, I barely hang on as a vegetarian. This website is exactly what I needed. Thank you! I'm subscribing to your RSS feed and will be visiting often. Here's looking toward a healthier, happier, cruelty-free me.

I'm glad that my website has helped you. My best advice is to take baby steps. Start by going vegan 1 day a week and go from there. It's definitely a big commitment being vegan, but well worth it in the end. Good luck with it:)
I am just finishing off my new cookbook, but once that is done I plan on getting back in the kitchen and filming more tasty recipes. Thanks for watching!

Boy Scout Troop 82 bags 150 seedlings for LAMS students
Gail Maholick/TIMES NEWS Nathan Kroboth, Gaige Accardi and James Henderson, members of Boy Scout Troop 82, prepare seedlings for the Arbor Day program at Lehighton Area Middle School. The seedings were donated by PPL and are part of a project by the Lehighton Shade Tree Commission.
Lehighton Shade Tree Commission members had help again this year with spreading their tree planting mission.
To start off this year's projects, they enlisted the help of Lehighton Boy Scout Troop 82 to help bag 150 seedlings which were presented to Lehighton Area Middle School students to take home to plant.
Boy Scouts used hand shovels and then their hands to mix soil in a wheel barrow. Next they set up an assembly line of workers near Trinity Lutheran Church to fill each of the bags with soil and stuck the trees into the soil and tied the bags shut with rubber bands.
The Shade Tree Commission had always done this part of the project themselves, working late into the evening to be ready for the next days.
The Boy Scouts put their youthful energy into the project and with the number of boys involved and their dedication to the project, it was done in less than an hour.
Mark Hoffman, chairman of the Lehighton Shade Tree Commission, said, "This is great to see the boys involved in this project. The Shade Tree Commission also had help with sponsoring the cost of the seedlings by PPL, who has had a great working relationship the Commission. This partnership has helped Lehighton to continue to be designated a Tree City USA for 20 years."
After the tree seedlings were bagged, they were distributed to the students during the annual Arbor Day program at the environmental center at the Lehighton Area Middle School on Friday.
PPL has sponsored the trees and seedlings at the Middle School for the past nine years.

I think it's too bad this is fake news. 100,000 is what we need at the border. The all the border patrol and ICE agents can freed up to go rounding up illegals.
I agree, I wish it were true! Why should they complain about it anyway? Isn't sending them BACK what we are supposed to do?
My thoughts exactly
Time to stop these lying leaks....fire anyone who ever worked for Obama. Who knew when Trump said "drain the swamp" it meant people working on the White House....time for some to lose their cushy jobs and get a real one!
Yes there should not still be anyone left there from the Obama administration
because they definitely cannot be trusted!
Agree. Everyone that was hired on in the 8 years, regardles of the position needs to be tossed out, put on the unemployment line. They cannot be trusted. I have not heard if those 3 Muslims that Obama put in the DHS are still there.
Once again, the media doesn't get the facts before reporting. The misinformation is going to be what is believed .... the headline is on page 1, the correction is on page 92.
Anything to damage the Trump admin.....
Lying, cheating, corrupt Democrats. More fake news. President Trump needs to find out who leaked this document. Trace it back. Put the individual in jail.
Who the hell is leaking this kind of information to the press??? This is. In the category of "very fake news"!!!
UNfortunately! I would actually LOVE to see them "rounded up" as stated.
It's a no brainer that all these leaks are fron Obama sycophants that have burrowed themselves into mid level positions of the government to cause problems for the Trump administration at the behest of their leader Obama and his shadow organization Organizing For America. No former president in history has ever set up an organization for the express purpose of undermining his replacement like Obama has done. Until all these weasels can be shown the door expect more of the same along with the total support of the butt hurt media!
obama has moles everyweverywhere.
These news organazations who put these stories out there without verification and don't take these stories back just as loudly need to lose their access to the president for a specified amount of time. A time out.
Right. And then they have the ballz to get upset when they are called out for their fakery!
Personally, I do not beleive anything until it comes out from our leader's mouth....... Media has hit the lowest point. FAKE NEWS all around us.
This is EXACTLY why he needs to keep his Twitter account!
It's fake news but seems like a good idea to me.
So next question; how did they get this draft memo? Who leaked it?
Sounds like a fantastic idea to me! And we know where they all are! I AM TIRED OF LEFT WING SOB STORIES! GIVE EM THE BOOT!
This is so fake that's laughable.
"They don't need no stining facts". At least that is how the Media acts. And then act insulted when they are called out for it. It looks like they only want to appease the Democrats. I don't know what it will take for them to begin doing their job and not make up stuff as they in the movies.
What in the name of all ph*ck is up with these leaks? Find who, fire, try, hang under the espionage act.
I guess we need to put the Associated Press (AP) on the list of "Fake News" channels now...
At this point, I'd be asking myself, where they got their info from! Again more leaks from Democrats!!! This as got to stop! That is why the Senate Democrats are holding up the people that President Trump as chosen for his adminstration! That way the people in there now can cause as much trouble as possible for him!!! There should be a law against this!!!
Thanks for the fact-check. Always your sources before even believing. One more mark against "main-stream" media. What's next? Michael Steele, you're right.
Fake news and you know it
Maybe they should keep it up and the illegals will deport themselves.
I don't think the Trump admin should have denied this so soon, the bea... I mean Mexican CRIMINALS were sweating there, why let them relax? Let them scramble like roaches, thinking we are coming to get them all!
Net illegal immigration now near zero or negative. Research it!
Your right Jan!!! I bet all the illegals where packed and on their way back in the cover of night!! Living near an Arizona boarder town... I've seen it happen! They're there one hour gone the next!!
Maybe this was a "test" leak. Maybe this is a way to find out who is the leak.
I am a retired vet,and I an sick and tired of the the press printing every thing from anyone without checking the facts. This is our Commander In Cheif and we should give a fair chance. Stop the demostrations. Protect what we worked so hard to protect.
First, I'm an Independent voter and don't care much for either political party. But since the election of Donald Trump, the left and the legacy media have gone totally nuts. Any reasonable person knows the media leans left and has so for many years. But the news that's coming out now gives me a whole new appreciation for Donald Trump's fearless demeanor. About 75% of the main stream media should hang their heads in shame and get a new profession. The left wing of the Democrat party has become the true fascists. I can't ever remember the TEA party rioting, burning police cars or assaulting people to prevent them from speaking. I'm beginning to like Trump. I have cancelled my subscription to the newspaper. I'm not going to pay somebody to lie to me. This is going to be a very interesting 4 years!
Excelllent post. The Left and their media hyenas have waged an unprecedented, unethical, dishonest and disgraceful war against Trump from the beginning. The biggest problem is that he shows how weak and dishonest their "p.c." agenda is, and how dangerous for the country.
And the Left can't stand to have the fact that they are bankrupt of real ideas revealed so clearly.
Go Trump!
More fake news.
This just in from CNN,AP,andNYT. In order to make sure that we issue 1 factual statement today, we are excited to report that Trump speaks English, sorta.
The public is tired of mis-information. In the end, this kind of opinionated yellow journalism will back fire. AP = Already Poor - Anonymously Poor, Absolutely Profane reporting for their Trite, undependable c r a p. Maybe they should just change the name to AM = Associated Myths, or AF = Associated Falsehoods, or AL = Associated Liars
Another crock of crap to make Trump look bad. I am with the rest of you who wish it was true. While they are at they could remove Black Lives Matter, the left wing hollywood elite and most of the democratic congress. This would yruly be heaven.
Media is wondering how a leak is true and the story is false. THIS 100,000 Nat Guard leak is how a leak is true (a draft never condsidered) and turned into a false story of it being implemented. Get it yet media thats HOW a true leak turns into a false story
My question is how did someone get access to even a draft memo? Seems the security of information is compromised.
A significant proportion of Republicans dislike Trump immensely. He's making the party look brutish, careless and thoughtless. Many would like to see Pence take over.
More "fake news", but personally, I wouldn't mind if he did use whatever means necessary to round them up and send them back where they came from. I'm a supporter of legal, regulated immigration. I oppose illegal immigration and I oppose open borders. The left makes an issue of this only because they see a future political benefit, more votes, by allowing anyone in the country at any time, and national sovereignty or national security is of no concern to them. They, those who support illegal or unregulated entry to our country, therefore have chosen to become enemies of our nation in exchange for political power.
True Michael, but I think they damage themselves even more. The average American already do not trust the Main Stream Media. This is not helping. Afraid not to get a jump on the story.
The ignorance and arrogance of AP shows why they are becoming irrelevant
I'm no fan of the AP, but the simple fact is that this is a direct result of trying to fill a 24 news cycle and beat everyone else to the punch. How I long for the days of news at 6 and 11. SMH.
And they wonder why Trump tells journalists they are fake news. They report things before they know the truth. Just to be the first to publish a story. They should redact and apologize. Journalists who report fake news should lose their jobs at the least and at most recieve a citation, fine, or jail time.
naacp, blm, fags, libbists, illegals, left wingers will use anything for an excuse to be uncivil. They hate the truth. Ship illegals home, problem half gone. Ship blacks 'home', we'll have peace, and the country will be able to go back in the black after no more afdc'foodstamps. May take a while to get out of the red, but it will get done. :)
The article says we "may" deploy 100000 national guard, not that they "will." Further, the Secretary of Homeland Security submitted an 11 page document to that effect. Although it wasn't approved by the President, it certainly did exist.
Your point is?
If I may, his point is that an Administration Official did create the document. Therefore it WAS under consideration. Just because the President has not yet adopted it does not mean it was not considered by the administration. Non-critical readers don't see the actual point that the article is not fake or false.
My question: how did they get the draft memo?? These leaks need to be found!!!
The MAN is a GENUS! We are lucky to have him as our president at this time in our history,RIGHT??? He played the press like a VIRTUOSO plays the piano at a concert in the Met.,RIGHT??? The media people must be descendant's of the crowd from the trial of Jesus that shouted " Crucify ,Crucify, him" because they didn't want ' CHANGE ",RIGHT??? They were part of the ( PROBLEM ) THEN, and the media today are part of the ( PROBLEM ) NOW,RIGHT??? The reality of the situation is that it is all about MONEY,RIGHT???

A theif steals your goods, but you can get those back. A liar steals your trust, trust is impossible to get back.
The msm continues its death spiral into total irrelevance.
So trump spoke the truth when he said he had the largest elector college victory since Reagan- lie yuge inaugaration crowd- lie Goldman Sachs bankers are crooked like hillary now on his cabinet his Twitter account is not secured. With no press we have no accountability only his word. Who wrote the memo? Someone has the idea. The last round up was people w legal visas and green cards. Funny how they aren't looking for white illegals from Europe and Canada or Asian ones. The national Guard is activated by each state governor anyway.
Wish it were true! Why is this "news", even if fake, considered so shocking? The illegals have broken our laws period. We're the ONLY country in the world that doesn't deport them as soon as discovered.
My mother's parents came here from Canada after WW2, THE RIGHT WAY/THE LEGAL WAY. They went through the whole prcess. It pisses me off when I see all those ELEGALs sneaking across the border, JUMPING THE LINE ahead of honest Mexican immigrants! ROUND THE CRIMINALS UP AND DEPORT THE LOT OF THEM. Our schools suddenly have more Mexican kids than white and black American citizen kids! The dum ass school system administrators are crying that we have a teacher shortage! BOLOGNA!!!! We have too many ELEGAL kids overwelming our school system, deminishing our kids education that we paid for with our property tax. I say "BOO HOO" "BY BY". :-(
Maybe the National guard will volunteer unpaid to do the job. I would.
He does and says such bizarre, off the wall things, I can understand why one's first inclination might be to believe it. When you engage in fear mongering, don'the be surprised when people'say initial response is fear.
Oh no! The Russian 3-legged dogs did it! Butt hurt cream anyone?

Some young gemoke in the White House basement, rather than doodle, decided to concoct a scenario to keep his mind interested. Then he put Secretary Kelly's name on it. It never got to Kelly's desk. How it got elsewhere can only be explained by Obama holdovers - shadow government. Truth be told, there are literally dozens of nuclear scenarios, military intervention plans and contingencies to get an active imagination exercised for weeks on end.
The press doubled down on stupid. This is exactly the nonsense the Pres was talking about yesterday. I say let them implode.
OK, some are right, this isn't the first time a president called out the troops. Oh, BTW, he was a democrat and a socialist. But then I suppose he'd be excused since he was both of those things. Funny how so many people can excuse this sort of action is the administration is Republican.
OOPS!! I lost a sentence in my post. I was referring to Franklyn Roosevelt and the Japanese.
Simple, guys and gals. Is DHS Secretary a member of Trump Admistration? Answer: YES. Did he author the draft? Answer:YES. Therefore, the Trump Administration did consider this. See how simple this is for an educated mind. IJR SEEKS TO SHILL FOR Trump and GOP. Lying is not acceptable for either persuasion.
That leaves you out.
Come on, Lenny. I'll help you through it. If a member of the administration authors it, then it was under consideration by the administration. Surely, even a Trump sycophant can understand that.
And they wonder why we don't trust the news outlets anymore. But, wouldn't it be nice if we had all of those people taking our trash out? I said this before he was elected and I believe it now. Empty the prisons of illegals. Then empty the jails. Bus them to the border and let them out. Keep the National Guard there to make sure they don't come back over. By the time we do all of that, we will be close to his second term. Securing our borders should be a high priority. It certainly wasn't with the last couple of Presidents. Every other country does, why not the United States? Because we love immigrants? So, yea we do. LEGAL immigrants. Amazing how the media, the snowflakes and the Democrats can't, for the life of them, mention that word ILLEGAL.
How did the AP obtain a copy of a draft, internal memo anyway? The AP now shares the same level of credibility as CNN. Sad when The National Enquirer now has more journalistic integrity as the MSM. This fear-mongering further divides our country and is damaging to the extreme. I would LOVE to see President Trump start prosecuting these creators and disseminators of fake news (after he arrests and seizes the assets of Soros&Sons and turns them all over to Putin. Why, if no other nation will have them, is the United States allowing them to lead the high life in a cushy little town in NY?! We need them out NOW!!!)
IN eight years Obama's people have infiltrated every department and agency. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of political appointees to replace. Did anyone think they would change their colors overnight. The obstructionists in the Senate have managed to delay Pres. Trump's appointments giving ardent leftist loyalists time to act out to delegitimize the new administration. They're organized on the streets and in the government itself. Leaks, even classified intel, will continue until the swamp is drained of all the rats trying to undermine this President and the country, as well.
Sigh... more ammunition for trump to silence the media. They should have checked a lot better.
A perfect example of the PHONY NEWS that we are fed on a daily basis. I quit watching the national network PHONY NEWS a wile back. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT ALL CONSERVATIVES DO THE SAME! Watch the local news and don't trust them 100% either.
What the hell has happened to the press in this country? Don't they know that they have lost all respectability? Trump should deny acess to media that has made inaccurate reports. It hurts the country.
I heard it was also a way to smoke out the traitor that is leaking info from the white house. I hope they find him and he does serious jail time.

What president Trump said about the press is what the public has been saying for 20 years. Just report the facts not your opinion. That is the medias JOB!!! Let me form my own opinion. Hey, it's a start in the right direction!
I'm old enough to remember the AP and UPI were the only news organizations that everyone looked to for true stories. Now, the UPI no longer exists and the AP is just as bad as CNN and MSNBC. PATHETIC!
This one, however, is true: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8coERqw1O98
We in the National Guard have been there before. In 1916 Guard units from all 48 States were called up while the Regulars chased Via into Mexico.
We were placed all along the border to provide security. The troops were recalled in 1917 in order to ready for Europe.
Lets go!
This sort of false information, faked news, lies and propaganda are demonizing elements and character assassination Trump is up against from day one. Fortunately, the American people, at the end of the day, are not as easily fooled as the media would like to think they are.

Rams need to upgrade secondary
Cornerback: Last year's fifth-round draft pick, Jarametrius Butler, gave St. Louis unexpected production and Travis Fisher played well enough, but both lack size and neither has elite cover skills. The Rams can get away with playing them in their cover-2 scheme, in which the corners are asked to squat on the perimeter and cover short and intermediate routes. But if the team ever changes its philosophy to one that requires its corners to turn and run in man-to-man situations, Butler and Fisher likely would have problems.

Goa a state in India's West region, is a former Portuguese colony with rich history. It is 3,700 km² with a population of approximately 1.4 million. Goa has a unique mix of native and Portuguese cultures and architecture that attracts an estimated 2.5 million visitors each year (including about 400,000 foreign tourists).
Panaji, Goa's state capital is also known as Panjim, Ponnje or Pangim. It is one of the most charming cities in India.
Goa is a hub of tourism in India. From the 1960s, Goa has been attracting a steady flow of visitors -- first the hippies and returning expat Goans, then the charter tourists visiting (starting with the Germans in 1987), pilgrims visiting Catholic and Hindu shrines, those opting to settle in Goa as their home, visitors coming here for medical treatment, and a growing number of those who attend seminars and conferences in Goa.
Goa is visibly different from the rest of India, owing to Portuguese rule which isolated it from the rest of India for 451 years.

The current trend in China's economic growth is not unlike what the world has seen before. Germany and France in the 1960s, and Japan's unerring industrial policy of the 1980s all had economic models that were admired by all. We now admire the Chinese model, says Paul R. Gregory, a Hoover Institution research fellow and professor of economics at the University of Houston.
Nobel laureate W. Arthur Lewis's 1954 article, "Economic Development with Unlimited Supplies of Labor," is the crystal ball we need to assess China's future: A country with virtually unlimited supplies of labor locked in unproductive traditional pursuits can grow rapidly by transferring it to a "modern" sector. However, when the transfer is complete, it must grow, like other countries, on the basis of technological progress, which is an entirely different ballgame.
According to Gregory:
- China's legal and economic institutions are those of a Third World country, with rampant corruption, weak rule of law, poor protection of property rights and the allocation of loans by state banks and political officials.
- Just as Japan's maligned government-operated postal savings bank system wastes capital, so do China's local and regional officials and the financial institutions they control.
- The high rates of capital accumulation simply make such waste less visible; indeed, there is a lot of capital to misuse.
There have been no historical exceptions to the requirements to join the top ranks of countries in living standards. According to Gregory, such requirements include:
- Limited government interference in economic decision making.
- Equal application of the rule of law.
- A small government to avoid waste and rent seeking.
- Low rates of taxation and other burdens on achievement, and free international trade with other countries.
China is unlikely to improve its performance in these areas. The Chinese Communist Party is no historical aberration. China has a long, long history of statism, and no intellectual challenge to this tradition. The Communist Party cannot introduce a real rule of law without a serious loss of its political power. When confronted with the impending end of its growth miracle, China will not change its stripes, says Gregory.

THE Rugby Football League's preferred restructure proposal for Super League finally got the green light yesterday – but only by the narrowest of margins.
The Yorkshire Post understands top-flight clubs voted 7-6 in favour of the controversial three groups of eight format for 2015 with Catalan Dragons abstaining.
The clubs also voted unanimously to reduce the competition from 14 to 12 clubs at the end of this season, something initially agreed last July but only rubber-stamped now.
However, there was not as much certainty about the convoluted method of bringing back promotion and relegation to the sport.
Six so-called 'rebel' clubs had voiced their displeasure last October at radical plans for a 12-team Super League and Championship with the three-way split coming after 23 rounds.
They walked out of that meeting and – though they stayed yesterday at St Helens to allow the vote to take place – they have clearly not backed down from their opinion.
It matters little today, however, given the governing body have at last secured the majority they required to put their initiative – a central tenet of the RFL's Review Policy – in place.
It should be ratified at a RFL board meeting next week and clubs will finally know how the landscape of Super League and the Championship will be shaped in the years ahead.
Furthermore, it is understood the 'rebel' clubs – including Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves, Huddersfield Giants, Hull FC and Hull KR – have, for all their squabbling, agreed to strive to make it a success as the sport looks to build itself a brighter future.
Super League ditched promotion and relegation back in 2008 in favour of a licensing system which, in theory, gave those in the top flight greater stability.
However, it also denied Championship clubs any hope of promotion in three-year cycles and, subsequently, there has been growing concerns about an increased number of dead-rubber games and clubs struggling to generate revenue.
The new format will see, at the end of 2015, the bottom four Super League teams join the top quartet of Championship clubs for a series of seven games.
It is understood after those fixtures the leading four will secure a Super League spot for 2016, but the fine details have still to be released.
Super League (Europe) Chairman Brian Barwick said: "I would like to thank the clubs for their contribution to what was a very fruitful and positive meeting.
"The clubs were unanimous in their view that Super League should become a 12-team competition from 2015 and that there should be meaningful movement between Super League and the Championships.
"There was a full and frank debate about the competition structures and a commitment to support the proposed format.
"The Super League clubs' decision will now go before the RFL's independent Board of Directors for ratification next week."
Full details will be announced later this month.

Champions from around Valoran group up to battle in DIVIDE AND CONQUER! Divide and Conquer is a Dominion Draft Mode in which players stay in their lane.
Once the game begins, both teams capture their MID and BOT Capture Points. from then on, 4 of the players have to stay in their lane (2 top lane, 2 bot lane) with 1 player roaming.
The Laner's main goal is to push to capture points. They cannot use any buffs except the Health Relic behind their Capture Point or the Relic in the fog of war near the lane.
- Laners cannot leave lane to the fog of war, unless they are just grabbing a Health Relic.
- Laners cannot CAPTURE a point themselves; the minions have to do the capturing.
- Laners can recall as they please.
- Laners can manually capture a point if it is NEUTRAL. NOT IF IT IS CAPTURED!
One player fufills the position of the Roamer. The Roamer travels around the fog of war, attempting to kill the enemy Roamer or ganking a lane.
- Roamers cannot farm minions or capture a point.
- Roamers cannot have Garrison or Promote.
- Roamers can have any buff in the fog of war.
- Roamers can recall as they please.
The goal to win is simple: it is just like the original Dominion mode. Players must have enough captured points to get the enemy Nexus to lose all of its health points. REMEMBER, NEITHER LANERS OR ROAMERS CAN CAPTURE A POINT!

So, during these past three months I have...
... not lost any weight. (Boo! But not surprising considering the stuff I mentioned above.)
... written several French essays and one proseminar paper.
... helped a friend move house.
... watched some Once Upon a Time, The X-Files, Criminal Minds and NCIS with friends. (Yay, good times!)
.. traded in some of my old video games to get two new ones for my Nintendo 3DS - Disney Magical World and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. (Such cuteness in both games, I will write more about them someday soon!)
... actually been to a couple of gatherings of a local cross stitching group I am a member of and had been neglecting for a couple of years. (Yay, such fun! Tsk at myself for neglecting them for so long!)
I guess that's about it. I haven't exactly had the energy to do much. But hey, only a couple of weeks of school left! That's exhilarating, stress-inducing and terrifying all at the same time. Need to try and take it one day at a time.


text: Yes that is all very excellent information in my opinion. The villanovan culture in Italy may have been the first arrival of Celtic R1b people's to Italy,thus showing that these "Germanic" people's similar to French and Swiss Gauls such as Helvetti, where already present on the italian peninsula long before the introduction of French Gauls to northern Italy. This may imply that the original Latin founders of the Roman Empire where in fact, as is seen in Italy today, predominantly R1b men and of the U-152 subclade mixed with later arrival Neolithic elements (J2a of the Turkish Etruscans, who according to Herodotus, migrated from Lydia, Turkey, to north-central Italy roughly from modern day Tire district near Izmir turkey). J2 was also brought in later by the greek colonization s of southern Italy, ( Magna Grecia) along with some haplogroup E. later migrations also saw some E coming to Italy directly via North Africa (Tunisia) to Sicily and low percentages and Some J2 arriving in Middle Ages from Jewish diaspora groups. The haplogroup E that arrived in Italy via Greece is hypothesized to have predominantly arrived in Greece via Egypt then the Middle East/levant coast, then Greece, then Italy. It is my belief that the Italic R1b men that arrived from the alps and the Halstatt culture held the same haplogroup AND subclade of R1b as the men that would move further west from the main Halstatt core area and found the la tene culture near the Meuse,Moselle , Loire area of north eastern France. Subsequently, later migrations of these similar la tene Gauls that did not proceed directly from Halstatt area through alps of Italy hundreds/thousands of years earlier to become Romans, some of these "proper" franco-Swiss Gauls would ALSO migrate to northern italian peninsula and further bolster the R1b U-152 levels even higher , regardless of the tensions and wars every now and then over land and resources between these "different" French Gauls and the Latini Romans proper, who was to me, the same thing.

The two shots you took on this bend are brilliant. The curve shows the train the locomotive is hauling, and it slightly banked giving the photograph a more dynamic look as it leans over. Nice one.

Hi Seda,
The bicycle is placed well off centre and I like the umbrellas framed by the railing, so the composition is nicely divided into segments creating a pleasing image. Good saturation of colours too.

Weston Cage in rehab
The rocker has enrolled on a 30-day treatment programme in an unknown facility, following his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence earlier this week (beg18Jul11).
The 20 year old was taken into police custody for the second time this month (Jul11) after an alleged confrontation with his wife, Nikki Williams, on Wednesday (20Jul11).
Weston, whose mum is actress Christina Fulton, admits the public perception of him has been tarnished but he's determined to get better.
He tells E! Online, "I am getting myself together, so I'm sorry about being mislabeled by people who don't know me, or realise that I come from a long line of creative and successful artists."
Weston also dismissed speculation he is envious of his songwriter partner's success and revealed plans for his own future goals.
He adds, "I would like to congratulate my multi-talented wife on her recent recording contract. I have always been supportive of her music. In no way would I ever be jealous of her successes, as I do not follow her preferred musical genre, and am personally working on a new solo album that I should have recorded a long time ago."

We here at Moviepilot HQ are a little bit obsessed with . When we went on a work outing to watch Pacific Rim recently we collectively lost our [email protected]%t when he announced that he was cancelling the apocalypse. The guy oozes cool and we receive any news about his new projects with the enthusiasm and joy normally reserved for kids opening their presents on Christmas morning.
If, like us, you are big fans of the British actor, you'll be excited to hear that he's signed on for the lead in Beasts of No Nation, which is set to be directed by Sin Nombre helmer Cary Fukunaga. Beasts of No Nation is based on Uzodinma Iweala's bestselling novel of the same name and is described as follows:
In this stunning debut novel, Agu, a young boy in an unnamed West African nation, is recruited into a unit of guerrilla fighters as civil war engulfs his country. Haunted by his father's own death at the hands of militants, Agu is vulnerable to the dangerous yet paternal nature of his new Commander. While the war rages on, Agu becomes increasingly divorced from the life he had known before the conflict started—a life of school friends, church services, and time with his family still intact.
According to Deadline, Elba will play the role of the Commander as well as taking on producer duties.
It's been a good year for Elba, who starred in 's Pacific Rim as well as reprising his role as the tortured detective in BBC America's Luther. He can also be seen later in the year in Thor: The Dark World and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. The Moviepilot office is going to be a very content place indeed.

Are you totally confused? Do you ask questions about appearance of your body or how to take care of your new family member? Welcome to the club! We will reveal you 14 facts you should know…
- The birth went well and everyone is happy, but…Why do you still have a baby bump? Don't panic! Your uterus is still enlarged and will need about 6 months to regain it's natural size.
- Were you planning to go out for a walk? Then you should start dressing at least half an hour earlier than usual. Why? Well, babies tend to poop or vomit as soon as you open the door of your apartment.
- It is simply impossible to hold the umbrella opened and push the baby's strollers. You will discover it yourself when you go for a walk with your baby and rain begins to pelt. It is unpleasant situation even you are away from home just 10 minutes walk. Solution? You should buy a waterproof hat or cap, and jacket, so you can forget about umbrella.
- Did you expect your baby will have the softest skin in the world, but it's face is covered with tiny white "lumps"? Don't worry, those lumps are due to blockage of the sebaceous glands on the face that are still undeveloped.
- You sweat more than ever and feel aggravated. It seems uncomfortable, but it's a sign that your body releases excess fluid that has accumulated during pregnancy.
- You will discover how cold the nights are.Drawing out of bed at 3 a.m. is not fun at all.
- You will suddenly develop a phobia of stairs-what if you slip and fall with the child in your arms? Some mothers avoid stairs wherever and whenever they can. However, there's no need for such radical measures. It's enough that you're confident in yourself and your stability.
- Do you have a bad day? It's not something unusual. If you are anxious or depressed, get out of the house and find the company. Go for a walk, have coffee with a friend or do the shopping.
- At the beginning you'll feel panic and helplessness when you find yourself alone with the baby. To maintain common sense and connection with reality, meet a friend or relative at least once a day.
- Everyday wearing sanitary pads will become quite normal to you. It will be necessary for about 6 weeks, until it stops the percolation of blood, secretions or uterine tissue.
- Be realistic when it comes to return to the old look. Celebs may be able to wear old clothes 8 hours after birth, but in the real world it takes 9 months to get the body back in old shape and appearance.
- Reduce your to-do list. The days when you could do the several chores in an hour are gone. Don't be more strict with yourself because you can't do your obligations as quickly as before. the fact that you take care of a baby is a huge success.
- Your baby still can't do much, but can see you. During breastfeeding, the baby has a perfect view of your face. Watch, smile and talk to your baby. Baby's brain receives information, processes it and responds to you.For a few weeks, you will receive the highest award-the baby's first smile.
- In the end, the advice of experts: Of course, your baby is the most important in the world, but self-care is also a priority – not to sacrifice. You need to put yourself on the first place, you and your partner on the second and on the third you and your baby. All the others are on the bottom of the list. Although, this list seems selfish to you, you should know that it is necessary for you to be happy so your baby can be happy too.
The first few months of parenthood will be chaotic and exhausting but unforgettable. Enjoy a new life!

Need recommendation for monopod
Looking for a monopod to go with 5D2 . Any recommendation? I'd prefer to spend less than $100.
And also, a viewfind on LCD for shooting film.
What are application are you using the monopod for Andy?
general shooting when i travel. Just need something stable to hold on instead of bringing my tripod.
My wife has a walking stick with a threaded mount on the top that you can screw into a camera...very conveneint for quick monopod...in monopod mode I assume you don't need any ballhead-type flexibility...
I use a Manfrotto 679b. Very cheap, light but sturdy. Simple screw-in head. Don't need a ballhead as there are plenty of them on this forum!
Adjusts height instantly. No clamps to flip open or loosen. Superb for sports. Alas, a bit more than $100.
I looked at a lot of monopods with feet as I wanted that kind of stability. Finally found a great solution. Perhaps more than you'd want to spend, but take a look at this Feisol model:
Very light and stable. I use it in may situations where I used to use a tripod. Even use it with a video head attached to support our Canon XH-A1 video camera.

I found a rifle shooters' support monopod for $10 at Walmart. It has a v-slot for a rifle. My camera fits in well. It contracts to about 24 inches for packing in a suitcase for travel. Light-weight, cheap, and it works. Good luck finding what works for you.
I traveled for three weeks across Provence and Languedoc, France, and down to through Girona and Barcelona, Spain, with this setup. It is a sturdy, easy to use monopod that does not cost that much, > $80.

Ford Motor Co. is unveiling the 2015 F-150 pickup truck Monday at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It will go on sale at the end of this year. Here are some details:
— For the first time, the body of the truck is made mostly of aluminum. That makes the truck up to 700 pounds lighter than the current F-150, depending on the configuration. The frame beneath it is still made of high-strength steel.
— New features include LED headlamps and tail lamps, LED spotlights on the side mirrors and in the bed and BoxLink, a system of metal brackets and cleats in the bed that can secure accessories like ramps or storage bins.
— The seats are 20 millimeters farther apart, making space for a wide center console with a wide storage compartment that's more than 2 feet deep.
— A new optional camera system can see all the way around the truck and project images on an 8-inch center screen.
— New 400-watt power outlets in the cab allow drivers to recharge tools or mobile devices.
— New safety options include second-row inflatable safety belts, blind-spot detection and a lane-keeping system that warns drivers if they're drifting.
— There are two new engines: A 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 and a 3.5-liter V6. A 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 and 5.0-liter V8 are carried over from the previous model. Ford is no longer offering its 6.2-liter V8 or its 3.7-liter V6.
— Five trim levels will be available when the truck goes on sale: XL, XLT, Lariat, Platinum and King Ranch.
— Not released. Ford says it will be in the same range as the current truck.
— Not released, but Ford says it will be the best in its class.
— The truck will be built at plants in Dearborn, Mich., and Claycomo, Mo.
