Good car, low ground clearance. Useless navigation
By Ken on Monday, July 22, 2019If you live where frost heaves show up in the winter and early spring be careful. The Camry has low ground clearance. The navigation system is only good for raising your stress and aggravation level. After using it for a while I removed the app from my phone and bought a garmin system. Toyota ripped of the consumer with a useless navigation system. Something I will remember when trading in the Toyota for a new car,

Would not but this car now.
By Matt on Friday, January 25, 2019Love Toyota. This is my 2nd Camry SE. Got it a 16% off MSRP. No complaints about price and value. HOWEVER, I regret buying this car until Toyota fixes its many flaws. Seriously -- Stop now and do not buy this car. Road noise (in PA) is awful. Technology is unexpectedly terrible: Dash controls actually are worse than last generation's (don't promote that engineer!) and the apps are way worse than you'd expect from a world class company: Really, really terrible. Camry SE performs great on the road but feels every -- and I mean every -- bump in the road. Why would you do that? (Actually, handling reminds me or my 1985 Porsche 911 -- where you turn the wheel and the car turns without delay....) Love to drive this car but Toyota, which sells millions of Camrys each year, could make the current Camry really, really special. Without a doubt, do not but this car until Toyota improves the dash controls (i.e. heat, a/c...), the smartphone technology/integration, and the ride dynamics of the current Camry. Looks great, needs improvement to be a world class car.

I love my XSE 2019 Camry with Red Leather Interior
By Elliott on Tuesday, February 12, 2019I cant say a bad thing about my Camry. Everything about it is amazing; the safety, the styling, the technology. I can't believe it's fully equipped with a Lane Departure Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic High Beams, Pre-Collision System (which has saved me twice! It braked for me when I looked away and cars stopped randomly in front of me), and blind spot monitor as well!

Enhancement of the administrative control
Decree No 114 of February 27, 2012, empowered the local authorities and the Pricing Policy Department of the Ministry of Economy of Belarus to organize ad hoc inspections of enterprises "in order to timely detect and suppress violations of anti-monopoly legislation".
Moreover, such inspections could be organized regardless of the grounds stipulated in the legislation. The decree envisages severe penalties for violations of antitrust legislation and unfair competition.
The authorities believe such ad hoc inspections will allow them to detect and deter cases of violation of the legislation, including facts of price collusion, violations of prohibitions, and (or) restrictions on the sale of goods (works, services) introduced by the government in some administrative regions of Belarus. The Decree also envisages strengthening of the penalties for violation of the anti-monopoly legislation.
Therefore, any manufacturer could be accused of a monopoly (if share of sales is more than 30%) therefore tightening of the legislation could be interpreted as an attempt to treat high prices and inflation with increased repression.
This is a new/old logic of the authorities: instead of liberalization, privatization and the simplification of the business environment, opening markets to foreign competition, they introduce new restrictions and new (ad hoc) inspections. It contradicts the generally declared intention to liberalize the economy and casts the country two years behind in its attempt to liberalize the pricing policy.

The Belarusian authorities regard the Catholic conference as yet another international event to promote Minsk as a global negotiating platform. Minsk's proposal to organise a meeting between the Roman-Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church is rather an image-making undertaking than a serious intention. However, the authorities could somewhat extend the opportunities for the Roman-Catholic Church in Belarus due to developing contacts with the Catholic world.
Minsk is attempting to lay out a mosaic from various international religious, political and sportive events to shape a positive image of Belarus for promoting the Helsinki 2.0 idea.
Belarus' invitation to the head of the Holy See for a meeting with the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church should be regarded as a continuation of her foreign policy efforts in shaping Minsk's peacekeeping image and enhancing Belarus' international weight. The Belarusian authorities are aware that their initiative is unlikely to find supporters among the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow. In Russia, isolationist sentiments prevail.
In addition, for domestic audiences, the authorities make up for the lack of tangible economic growth with demonstrations of growth in Minsk's authority at international level through providing a platform for religious, sportive and other dialogues.

Delivering food, fuel and other vital supplies to U.S. military personnel operating in remote areas of Afghanistan is not an easy task. An important first step is finding out which supplies are needed at what location and relaying that information back along the supply chain from Afghanistan to the point of shipment, often in the United States. In most cases, such communications are only possible via satellite because a local infrastructure does not exist or has been damaged by war. And satellite connections to small in-country networks require on-site technicians to install and set up ground antennas.
For the past two years, Intelsat General and By Light Professional IT Services have teamed up to provide the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) with connections between U.S. and allied supply officers in Afghanistan and the DLA's global network of warehouses and shipping facilities. As the prime contractor, By Light has established and maintained the connection while Intelsat General has provided the link between Afghanistan and the DLA network via two Intelsat satellites and two teleports.
The DLA provides the U.S. military and its allied forces with a full spectrum of logistics, acquisition and technical services, from food, guns, uniforms and medical supplies to construction equipment and vehicles. The agency also supports humanitarian relief efforts at home and abroad, including the 2011 Japanese earthquake and hurricanes Isaac and Sandy in 2012 in the United States. The agency processes nearly 100,000 requests every day from troops and federal agencies around the globe asking for supplies and other materials.
To help the DLA communicate with supply officers stationed in Afghanistan, By Light sent technicians there two years ago to establish ground services at multiple sites located around the war-torn country. The technicians set up the ground equipment to establish small virtual private networks that were then connected to the Intelsat satellites. Requests for equipment and other support go over the Intelsat network to the DLA enterprise network.
By Light has set the DLA up as a virtual network operator so that the agency can receive the requests and communicate directly with personal in Afghanistan.
"Once we got the network set up, we haven't had any problems," said Jeff Adelman CS2-SB Program Manager of By Light. "Intelsat General's end-to-end solution and capacity to meet surge requirements coupled with By Light's operational support has exceeded DLA's expectations."

New Majorities Respond to Immigration Reform
I'm not going to lie, after the President's speech today, young people are feeling a little…torn.
While we are glad that comprehensive immigration reform is on the table, we have been watching young peoples' reactions in the Twitterverse, Facebook and we even talked to Gen Alliance members Untied We Dream, Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance and the NAACP Youth & College Division to see how the nations top youth immigration thought leaders feel. While the Senate and the President have made some great suggestions, the proposals still fall short of some of our values as young people and as Americans. We've decided to break down the good, the bad, and the ugly truths about the bipartisan proposals we've seen come from the White House and the Senate.
Not sure if you are feeling the White House or Senate plan? Tell the them what you think about their immigration proposal, and let them know that young people want their voices heard in this debate.
The Good:
- Acknowledgement that we are a nation made and built by immigrants.
- Bipartisan support with renewed commitment to passing comprehensive immigration reform.
- Includes a pathway to citizenship for DREAMers.
- 21st century legal immigration system that expedites family reunification.
- Allow employers to hire immigrants (as long as they can't hire an American or they won't displace an American worker).
The Bad:
- Distinctions made between "law-abiding" and "well-meaning" immigrants.
- No mention of legislative timeline.
- Subject to back taxes, fines, background checks and must overcome language and class barriers to learn English.
- LGBTQ immigration rights are "not of paramount importance".
The Ugly:
- No end in sight for deportations
- Framework is not inclusive—The US-Mexico is not the only border and wrongly focuses the immigration debate on one specific group of people.
- Increased militarization of our borders, including drones and surveillance, which devastates border communities.
- Gen Alliance Members, United We Dream, Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA) and the NAACP Youth & College Division have come out with strong stances around how the New Majority and young people will be affected by comprehensive immigration reform. Today our members have expressed the following views:
"United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth-led network in the U.S., is speaking out to welcome President Obama's new leadership and pledging to continue pressing President Obama to stop deporting our families now…President Obama and Congress must not only say the right things on immigration but must also set politics aside and work together to craft legislation that puts us and our families and communities on a road to citizenship, in a fair and straightforward manner. Our movement has proven that we have the power to win and we won't let up until we do."
Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance, AFL-CIO "Asian Pacific Americans have a stake in the immigration fight. Of the 11 million aspiring citizens in this country, 1.5 million are Asian Pacific Americans. We believe in a comprehensive immigration reform package that provides a clear pathway to citizenship, protects workers and reunites families…We support a package that protects and values workers and doesn't undermine their skills/willingness to do difficult work."
NAACP Youth and College Division "There are a large number of immigrants of African descent from Haiti, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Asia, Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands, and the NAACP affirms that any immigration reform must take into consideration the need for just treatment for all people throughout the African Diaspora…[We] support comprehensive, fair and non-discriminatory legislative proposals that allow people to earn the right to citizenship."
Tell the White House and Congress that young people mean business. Let them know how you feel about their immigration reform plan.
We already know that 2013 will go down in history as the year we reformed immigration in America. We have an opportunity to prove to the rest of the world that America cares about the people that live here, no matter where they were born. Join us, United We Dream, APALA, the NAACP Youth & College Division and our 16 other members as we stand up for our family members in the fight for fair immigration reform. This is about people, not politics.
Carmen Berkley is Field Director with Generational Alliance, a collaboration of national youth civic engagement organizations building collective power for underrepresented & low-income communities.

Velocity (PS3, PSP, Vita) — Review
Pete kicks it old-school with this great shmup from the PlayStation Minis catalogue.
It's been a very long time since I played a game in which the screen scrolling could kill you, but that's the sort of old-school sensibilities you'll be dealing with if you play FuturLab's Velocity, a new and rather good PlayStation Mini.
PlayStation Minis are curious beasts. They're not quite as obscurely-tucked away as the dusty corner in which Microsoft puts the Xbox Live Indie Games, but they're still a somewhat underappreciated and underexplored part of the PlayStation Store. There's plenty to like about them, though — they're cheap, you can purchase them once then play them on PS3, PSP and/or Vita, and they're a good source of "quick hit" games to enjoy if you just have a few minutes to spare. The Minis section is Sony's App Store in many ways, only without five hundred regurgitated variations on FarmVille to wade through before you find something good. What's not to like? ["Lack of trophy support." — Someone who is Wrong and who Needs to Place Less Importance on Non-Tangible and Arbitrarily-Assigned Metagame Elements]
To Velocity, then. Velocity is a top-down vertically-scrolling shoot 'em up of the kind the more venerable among us will remember playing in the '80s and '90s. The closest comparison, if anything, is Activision's 1982 classic River Raid, but there's a little more to it than shooting helicopters, boats and bridges while trying not to bump into things or get caught behind something when the screen scrolling catches up with you.
Like the ageing shmup, Velocity allows you to control the speed at which the screen scrolls to a limited degree, allowing you to slow down for fiddly, tricky bits and speed up on easy bits — though not stop. This is where the similarities end, though, for your ship in Velocity also has the ability to teleport over short distances, including through walls. Most of the game's levels are designed with this mechanic in mind, meaning you'll often come to what appears to be a "dead end" only to see a convenient hole in the structure coming up ahead. As the game's stages increase in difficulty (at a good pace, it must be said) the player finds themselves juggling between normal navigation, teleportation, shooting at enemies and launching bombs in directions their guns can't reach — all against the clock.
Simply getting through the early levels in Velocity is generally pretty straightforward — once you get the hang of the teleport mechanic, at least. The challenge factor comes from completing the levels well. Not only do you need to survive, but you also need to grab little blue "survivor pods" as you fly past, destroy enemies and complete the level as quickly as possible, balancing the desire to survive and grab shiny things with the wish to put your foot (well, index finger) to the floor and race through. Later levels grow in complexity by incorporating switch puzzles in which players must destroy objects in the correct order from the correct direction as well as multiple routes, some of which are more rewarding than others. In some cases, you'll have to use "telepods" to return to areas you visited earlier, or make use of an in-game map to plan out your assault in advance. And on top of all this, little hidden capsules scattered throughout the levels unlock access to some truly old-school difficult secret missions, too, meaning you'll certainly be kept busy trying to master everything this game has to offer. The longer you play it, the more surprising and wonderful twists on the basic formula you'll encounter.
The whole experience is capped off by some pixel art that wouldn't look out of place in an early '90s Atari ST game (that's a compliment, by the way) and a banging, catchy electronica soundtrack infused with a pleasing retro flavour. All in all, Velocity accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do, which is to provide a thoroughly modern shmup that is unafraid and unashamed to keep one foot well and truly planted in the past. It's a game that is, as the cliché goes, easy to learn and hard to master, and you'll have an absolute blast (no pun intended) along the way.

Diamond Y Spring Preserve Pipeline Survey
In 1997, the CBBS completed an archeological survey along a proposed gas pipeline at the Diamond Y Spring Preserve in Pecos County, Texas for the Nature Conservancy of Texas.
This project resulted in the recording of two sites, one exposed on limestone shelves overlooking Diamond Y Draw and the other found buried beneath over a meter of deposit in the floodplain of that drainage.
While the lack of funding precluded extensive work on the buried site, sufficient data was recovered to suggest the presence of an Early Archaic (ca. 8500-4500 years before present) component.
Plans are being made to investigate this site during the 2002 Sul Ross State University Archeological Field School.

Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins and Purdue wide receiver Rondale Moore each took two of the Big Ten's annual awards on Wednesday following fantastic regular season performances by each.
Haskins set the Big Ten single-season record for touchdown passes so it was no surprise at all to see the Big Ten recognize him with a pair of awards on Wednesday. Haskins was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and the Big Ten Quarterback of the Year as the Big Ten announced its annual conference awards. The QB award is named in part to honor former Purdue quarterback Drew Brees, whom Haskins passed for the single-season touchdown passing record in a rout of Michigan last weekend. Haskins is the third Buckeyes player to win the award under Urban Meyer as head coach, joining two-time winner Braxton Miller (2012 and 2013) and Ezekiel Elliott (2015).
Moore was named the Big Ten's receiver of the year and freshman of the year.
Here is the full list of individual offensive awards announced by the Big Ten on Wednesday evening. The Big Ten announced their defensive and special teams winners, as well as coach of the year, on Tuesday.
Graham-George Offensive Player of the Year: Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State
Griese-Brees Quarterback of the Year: Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State
Thompson-Randle El Freshman of the Year: Rondale Moore, Purdue
Richter-Howard Receiver of the Year: Rondale Moore, Purdue
Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year: Michael Deiter, Wisconsin
Kwalick-Clark Tight End of the Year: T.J. Hockenson, Iowa
Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year: Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin

Objectives To assess the efficacy, tolerability and acceptability of oxycodone for cancer pain in adults
Methods We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process, Embase, SCI, Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Science, BIOSIS, PsycINFO and four trials registries to November 2016.
Results We included 23 randomised controlled trials with 2144 patients analysed for efficacy and 2363 for safety. Meta-analyses showed no significant differences between controlled-release (CR) and immediate-release oxycodone in pain intensity or adverse events but did show significantly better pain relief after treatment with CR morphine compared with CR oxycodone. However, sensitivity analysis did not corroborate this result. Meta-analyses of the adverse events showed a significantly lower risk of hallucinations after treatment with CR oxycodone compared with CR morphine, but no other differences. The remaining studies either compared oxycodone in various formulations or compared oxycodone to different alternative opioids. None found any clear superiority or inferiority of oxycodone in pain relief or adverse events. The quality of this evidence base was limited by the high/unclear risk of bias of the studies and the low event rates for many outcomes.
Conclusions Oxycodone offers similar levels of pain relief and adverse events to other strong opioids. However, hallucinations occurred less with CR oxycodone than with CR morphine, but the quality of this evidence was very low, so this finding should be treated with utmost caution. Our conclusions are consistent with other reviews and suggest that oxycodone can be used first line as an alternative to morphine. However, because it is cheaper, morphine generally remains the first-line opioid of choice.

Improving fuel economy without touching the engine; Uber's expensive self-driving car technology; and is Audi's thinking more mature than its rivals? Please enjoy our auto industry and mobility briefing for 15th April to 21st April 2019. A PDF version can be found here.
Before you read the detail, what were my favourite stories of the past week…?
- Baby Slow Down — Continental says that a more efficient regenerative braking system can improve CO2 emissions of hybrids by over 12 g / km. If their claims are correct, then OEMs might feel a little more comfortable about meeting European emissions targets — although Conti's salespeople have surely taken note of all the "$ per g of CO2 saved" rules of thumb OEMs profess to use when setting prices?
- Pay The Price — Thanks to investment from Toyota, Denso and SoftBank, Uber says its self-driving technology is worth $7.25 billion. Why buy in to Uber's technology at $7 billion when Ford is reportedly hawking theirs at less than half that? Why would Uber sell when self-driving cars are a key part of the path to profitability? Is the plan for Toyota to ultimately take over the whole thing? Has Uber learned that creating driverless systems you can just bolt onto cars from lots of different OEMs is just too hard?
- Did We Not Choose Each Other — Audi says it loves Aeva's lidar for self-driving cars. A few months ago it was saying the same thing about Luminar's technology. So what is going on? Is Audi just telling lidar firms whatever they want to hear or is this a sign of increasingly mature thinking about redundancy (although both Luminar and Aeva's units work in quite different ways — a good thing from a safety critical point of view)?

The Latest from Meredith Patterson, The Cannabis Nurse
Rules of Consumption: Take with Food
As a nurse who also teaches, I spend a lot of my time talking about medications and how to take them – as pills or capsules, crushed into applesauce or mixed into syrup for easier swallowing, sometimes as droplets sprinkled under the tongue. Medicine – and the regime of taking daily medicine – is at the front of the mind for many people when asked about their health. "What meds are you on?" is part of every patient interview. My personal translation of that question is "what do you put into your mouth when you start your day"?
Medication administration has its own code of rules. Some meds don't mix well with others. Some have to be taken with other drugs to augment the desired effect or to offset a side- effect. When a nurse prepares medication for administration, she "pours them up" into tiny paper cups (charmingly called soufflé cups) and proffers them to her patients along with a glass of water. In a healthcare facility, this is called a "med pass."
The busiest med pass at any facility is in the morning, right after breakfast. This is because medications are commonly prescribed once a day and morning is generally convenient. The other reason is that many medications, unless instructed otherwise, are best taken with food because it makes the medicine work better – and without the side effect of an upset stomach.
Oral cannabis medications – be it a gummy candy, tincture, or oral spray – follow the same rule. Look on any cannabis consumer website and you're given fair warning. Do not take on an empty stomach or be prepared for possible unpleasant side effects like a racing heart, feeling of paranoia, or nausea. The experience may be intense but in a bad way (especially if THC is involved).
To top it off, if you're using cannabis for strictly medicinal purposes and are more interested in non-psychoactive results from a compound like CBD, the desired absorption of cannabinoids is worse if you take it without eating first.
Surprised? To understand how all this works, grab a snack and let's talk about organs and intestines, large and small.
Down the Hatch: How Medicine (and Cannabinoids) are Absorbed
To understand the absorption of cannabinoids from cannabis edibles, we first must understand a few basic concepts of drug absorption and the effect of food.
While your stomach is certainly teeming with digestive activity, you may be interested to find out that virtually nothing (except alcohol) is absorbed there. Your small intestine, the next stop, is the site of virtually all absorption, be it from a food, supplement or a prescription drug. Think of your stomach as a sort of holding tank that partially digests whatever you've consumed and then releases it into the small intestine at a steady rate.
I should mention that the liver is also involved as it is your body's processor/filter and it's where the absorbed compounds are metabolized. For example, THC is metabolized in the liver and transforms into a compound called 11-hydroxy-THC. This compound is stronger than THC, keeps its potency for a longer time and can be very sedating. This mechanism in the liver is responsible for why edibles have such variation in effect from one person to another. But that's a story for another day.
When you eat a meal and then consume a drug, the result a slowing of this gastric emptying so that the passage to the small intestine is more limited. In other words, a full stomach avoids dumping a substance too quickly into your system and circumventing effective absorption.
Oil and Water Don't Mix – Drugs, Cannabis and Solubility
For a drug to work when taken orally, it must be able to have some form of solubility which means that it happily mixes with a fluid solution. Think of grains of salt being mixed into water. A low -solubility drug will typically take a longer time to be absorbed. Some cannabinoids, including THC, have very low solubility in water since they prefer dissolving into lipids or fats. But when the cannabis consumer eats a meal, the food causes the gallbladder to release bile acids, which help to solubilize lipid-loving molecules like THC. This generally increases the rate and extent of absorption.
Time Factors – Slower but Longer-Lasting Effects
Consuming cannabis-infused edibles means the effects take a longer time to take place and the potency of effects gradually increases. The effects may be noticed at 45 minutes or can take up to 3 hours for full onset. Duration can last between 4 and 6 hours.
Looking at Research
A European study published in 2013 tested the effect of food on absorption of an oral cannabis spray called Sativex which is an extract containing a 1:1 ratio of THC and CBD. Although it's in spray form, most of it ends up getting swallowed so the test results should translate to other cannabis edibles.
In this study, subjects were divided into two groups: a fasting group who had no food for 10 hours before or 4 hours after dosing and a "fed" group who ate a high-fat meal within 30 minutes of dosing. Subjects were each administered 4 sprays.
The results? THC and CBD were rapidly absorbed in the fasted condition, reaching their peak plasma concentrations at 1.5 hours. For participants who had eaten a meal, these cannabinoids took much longer to absorb, with peak plasma concentrations not occurring until 4 hours after dosing.
But the more interesting part of this study unfolded when researchers looked at bioavailability (a measurement of the extent of absorption) of the cannabinoids. Subjects who ate a meal before dosing had significantly more cannabinoids absorbed – 2.8-fold higher for THC and 4.1-fold higher for CBD – compared to the fasting group subjects.
Some Take-Aways Before You Order Take-Out
Eat before you eat: When taking cannabis in edible form, eat a solid meal beforehand, preferably one with some fat to stimulate that helpful bile acid release. Keep in mind that peak concentration effects will take longer, although the time varies for each person, so you might need to plan ahead to create the timing you desire.
Absorption considerations: If you are taking an edible mainly for CBD – even if it's a combination product with THC, definitely eat a meal first since the boost in absorption, according to this study, is four times higher. For THC alone, it's your call as an empty stomach isn't such an important factor as long as you get the dose right.
Follow the Low and Slow Mantra
Remember – the effect from edible cannabis is going to last longer so if a product is new for you, start with a tiny microdose (no more than half of a full dose).
Read the Packaging!
The potency of an edible product is indicated by the milligram (mg) amount of cannabinoids contained in the product. An edibles package should state both the milligrams per serving and the milligrams in the entire package. It's much like reading the number of calories per serving in a packaged food item. So, if an entire candy bar has 20 mg of a particular cannabinoid, a quarter of it would contain 5 mg. Knowing the accurate dosage of an edible product and consuming at a measured pace is extremely important due to the delayed onset time and variable dosage options.
Are Edibles Blazing a New Trail?
You bet. The Specialty Foods Association named cannabis edibles as one of the top 10 food trends of 2018 right up there with broccoli -stem slaw, cardamom and something called grilled haloumi. Browse through a well-stocked cannabis dispensary and try not to drool over the chai teas, savory nut mixes, ranch tortilla chips, buttery popcorn, gum drops, extra-virgin olive oils, gourmet coffees, cacao, crackers, miso, and mint chocolate bars. I feel like I'm in the buffet line on a cruise ship.
As the trend continues, the producers who create cannabis-infused edibles will continue to offer something for every appetite. Just be sure to eat before you swallow.

I am in Lincoln, NE for the 16th Annual Meeting of the Heartland Converge District. The speaker for the Friday night banquet was Pastor Steve Pearson of Big Springs, SD. He preached one the best sermons on prayer that I have heard in a long time. He used the example of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark to illustrate that prayer (and lots of it…not the typical 10 to 30 minutes per day…if that) is the prerequisite to anything new that God does in our lives and in the church.
Steve also referred to the prayer life of Dr. David Yonggi Cho, the pastor of the largest church in the world (around a million members). Years ago when the church was at 750,000 members, a fellow pastor, whose church was "only" 3000 strong, asked Dr. Cho why his church was so large. Dr. Cho asked him, "How much time do you spend in prayer in day?" and the pastor answered, "30 minutes." Dr. Cho then said: "That is why your church is so small!"
Dr. Cho spends 5 hours a day in prayer!
Prayer must be the reoccurring old business in our lives and church.

Here in the States, the out-of-power party is plotting its comeback. Karl Rove is putting together a shadow Republican party apparatus. According to Mike Allen's POLITICO Playbook:
'Karl has always said: People call us a vast right-wing conspiracy, but we're really a half-assed right-wing conspiracy,' he said. 'Now, he wants to get serious.' While separate, the five entities are so closely related that three share an 11th-floor office near the White House. The groups are:Pay attention.
--"American Crossroads is a 527 designed to counter spending by labor and progressive groups, including the AFL-CIO, SEIU and MoveOn.org. Its president and CEO is former top U.S. Chamber of Commerce executive Steven Law; its political director is veteran GOP operative Carl Forti. The chairman is Mike Duncan, former RNC chairman; the treasurer is Jo Ann Davidson, former RNC co-chairwoman; and the secretary is Jim Dyke, former RNC communications director. To try to avoid undercutting RNC Chairman Michael Steele, who has alienated some givers, Duncan tells prospective donors that the party structure is "an important part of winning" and that he is looking for people who "want to go above and beyond."
--"American Action Network, modeled on the Center for American Progress, will conduct polling in key races, and plans to put up TV advertising since it is allowed to engage in explicit political activity as a group organized under Section 501c(4) of the tax code. Former Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota is the CEO; Fred Malek, a longtime top GOP financier, is chairman; and Rob Collins, a former top aide to House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, is president. Board members include former U.S. Sens. George Allen and Mel Martinez and former House Reps. Tom Reynolds, Jim Nussle and Vin Weber.
--"American Action Forum, a policy institute linked to the American Action Network, also will mirror CAP. Coleman is also chairman of this group, which as a 501c(3) organization, is prohibited from directly endorsing or opposing candidates. Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former Congressional Budget Office director and campaign adviser to Sen. John McCain, is the president. Board members include former Govs. Jeb Bush of Florida and Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania.
--Resurgent Republic, co-founded a year ago by Gillespie and Republican pollster Whit Ayres, says in its official description that it is "modeled on Democracy Corps, which has made important contributions to the public debate from the left and has proven to be a valuable resource for labor unions, environmentalists and liberal congressional leaders." The group has released a series of polls and offers itself as a message-testing laboratory to help GOP lawmakers develop policies.
Watch this one: today the stock market plunged nearly 1000 points purportedly because of a typographical error made by a trader. Sounds like a cover story to me. Sounds like a war game scenario to me. Or sabotage. Don't know; I'm just sayin': Pay attention.
Word of the day: cofferdam. Looks like the first one might be working. Let's hope so. Apparently the on-shore winds have subsided, and the oil slick has made first landfall. I feel so impotent in the face of this catastrophe. Pay attention.

Iconic audio post studio Skywalker Sound and the makers of PixelStrings media conversion technology Cinnafilm are working together on a new audio tool expected to hit in the first quarter of 2020.
As the paradigms of theatrical, broadcast and online content begin to converge, the need to properly conform finished programs to specifications suitable for a variety of distribution channels has become more important than ever. To ensure high fidelity is maintained throughout the conversion process, it is important to implement high-quality tools to aid in time-domain, level, spatial and file-format processing for all transformed content intended for various audiences and playout systems.
"PixelStrings represents our body of work in image processing and media conversions. It is simple, scalable and built for the future. But it is not just about image processing, it's an ecosystem. We recognize success only happens by working with other like-minded technology companies. When Skywalker approached us with their ideas, it was immediate validation of this vision. We plan to put as much enthusiasm and passion into this new sound endeavor as we have in the past with picture — the customers will benefit as they see, and hear, the difference these tools make on the viewer experience," says Cinnafilm CEO/ founder Lance Maurer.
To address this need, Skywalker Sound has created an audio tool set based on proprietary signal processing and orchestration technology. Skywalker Audio Tools will offer an intelligent, automated audio pipeline with features including sample-accurate retiming, loudness and standards analysis and correction, downmixing, channel mapping and segment creation/manipulation — all faster than realtime. These tools will be available exclusively within Cinnafilm's PixelStrings media conversion platform.

Professional counseling services for children, adolescents, and young adults.

There is no one size fits all model for counseling. Every person is unique and deserves a crafted approach that fits their individual needs and personality. Together, we determine the best therapeutic route based off of who you are, what you are seeking counseling for, and the goals you have.
I have found that the main reason someone comes to see me isn't dependent on a singular issue. Knowing this, we learn more about your unique situation by identifying things like: Family, friends, work, school, previous experiences, relationships, etc. With a full understanding of your situation, utilizing a systemic approach, we can continue with the healing process of becoming the best version of yourself.I would love to talk with you about the challenges you may be facing and begin to develop a personalized approach for you that will help you to attain the goals you're after.
Growing up in the Denver area, my love for basketball took me south to Nashville as I competed as an NCAA athlete. There, I obtained a bachelors degree in Psychology and a Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy (M.MFT) from Trevecca Nazarene University. Although I serve individuals at any stage of life, my passion is working with tweens to young adults who struggle with identity challenges, anxiety, social pressures, or attachment wounds.
After graduation, I moved back to start my own practice. In my free time, I enjoy remodeling and decorating homes, playing board games with friends, and trying out different local coffee shops. I would love to meet with you and provide a comforting environment for transformation and consider a privilege to walk alongside you in this journey.

Either you just started trading or you have been at it for awhile and you are feeling confident. You have been consistent and you feel like its time to increase your total size count. Going from 100-300 shares to 1,000 -2,000 shares or something along those lines, right?
Because why not? If you can make $200 consistently then why can't you start making $2,000 right away?
What are we waiting for?
This has come across my mind before, and probably any other trader who has had some success with smaller size and wanted to start making big money.
Unfortunately there are flaws with this type of thinking. So much goes into increasing size, especially if its by a drastic measure.
Here are 5 ways you can see that you are using too much size
- If You Are Uncomfortable Hitting the BUY/SELL Button.
This was a big tell for me in my trading. Its not just about being nervous about hitting the button, it was when i saw the perfect entry that i wanted, or perfect set up, and hesitated because I was afraid of putting on all that size.
But when I used 100-200 shares, there was no hesitation at all. This really because I new that i could actually tolerate the loss from a 100-200 share loss, if I were to lose. This leads directly to point number #2.
If You Cant Allow Your Stop Loss to Hit/ Adjusting Stop Loss.
This can be another indicator that you have on too much size. Having your stop loss hit is part of trading. No matter what, you are going to take losses over time.
If you enter trades with a predetermined risk set and move the stop loss lower to avoid taking the loss, it often means you can't stomach the loss because of the size you are using. Leading to point number #3.
If you are not Truly Accepting The Risk You Set.
Don't lie to yourself and say that "you accept the risk" if you are constantly moving your loss and holding losses farther than anticipated. The reason us as traders set risk is so that we keep our losses small as well as keeps us protected.
Anytime you set your risk for a trade, YOU NEED TO TRULY BE ABLE TO RISK IT.
Which means, if you truly can't stomach a $200 loss, you need to be using less size so that you have more room to less the stock play out. Using less size will also take a less emotional toll on you when you lose.
When you lose $20 on a trade, can you sleep at night? Most likely. Because you can live with a $20 loss and go into the next trade unfazed. That's TRULY accepting risk.
If the amount you risk is NOT proportionate to your account size.
These are related to the other points , but not he same. If you see a quality trade, quality setup, perfect entry. It can be tempting to "go all in".
However, even some of the best trading setup ups fail. No strategy is 100% guaranteed. So what happens when your $10,000 account is now down $3,000 because you went all in.
And when it was time to get out, you only then realize how much of a loss to your account 30% is. So most people hold longer, and longer , and longer. -40%, -60% etc. All that work gone just like that.
If the loss if not proportionate to your account, think twice before sizing up so much.
You want to take the trade off as soon as the trade starts going in your favor.
This one is my favorite believe it or not :). Its my favorite because it shows me how backwards we think in the moment of having big relative size in a trade.
We hold and hold the loss lower and lower because we are afraid to realize the loss, but when we have a lot of size on and the trade works out on our favor, our emotions cause us to exit early.
The complete opposite of what we were suppose to be doing; Keeping losses small, Letting winners run.
We do this because as soon as we put on a trade that we feel is a lot of size, we are already fearful. So as soon as its starts to work out we think "thank God, let me get out before this turns against me".
Again, ask yourself, "Would I be doing this i had 200 shares in the trade instead of 2,000 shares??" Answer, Most likely not.

What to Do if it Rains on Your Wedding Day
Your Dripping Springs wedding has been set at a beautiful venue. The flowers are ordered, the food will be catered, and everything is prepared. And then you look at the weather forecast: rain – all week long. It's going to rain on your wedding day!
Don't worry – you don't have to let the rain ruin your special day. Read on below to learn how you can make your rainy weather wedding perfect.
What to Do if it Rains on Your Wedding Day
Wedding-day rain doesn't have to be a disaster. While we can't control the weather for you, we can help you make your day amazing with these tips.
Rainy Wedding Day Tip 1: Plan Ahead for Bad Weather – Have a Backup Plan
Even if there's only a 1% chance it's going to rain on your wedding day, it's better to plan for it just in case.
If any part of your wedding is supposed to occur outside, make sure you love your backup space – just in case. Talk to your Dripping Springs wedding venue and see if they have enough space to move your ceremony and photos inside, or if they can accommodate last-minute changes due to weather.
For indoor photography, talk to your photographer and wedding planner about finding an indoor space with nice lighting, or some pretty floor-to-ceiling windows. Even with the rain in the background, this could make for some gorgeous shots. And if you're willing to brave the weather, rain can look so romantic in wedding photos, like this one to the left.
Rainy Wedding Day Tip 2: Grab some pretty umbrellas.
Have umbrellas on hand for you, your partner, and your wedding party if any part of your wedding is going to be held outside.
For the photos, order some beautiful umbrellas to hold during the photos so you're protected from the rain but still look beautiful.
And they don't have to be plain, clear umbrellas. You could get them monogrammed, choose some with a touch of lace, or a beautiful design. The sky is the limit – just make sure you have enough for everyone!
Rainy Wedding Day Tip 3: Offer Guests Weather-Appropriate Favors
Umbrellas don't have to just be practical. Things about ordering some umbrellas for your guests to keep as favors…not only will it keep them dry and comfortable on your wedding day, but they can take them home as a reminder of how amazing your big day was!
Just set out a little basket of umbrellas with a note for your guests when they arrive. Rain or shine, they'll be able to enjoy your wedding, as well as many days after, with protection from the elements.
And if you aren't planning to get married outside if it rains, consider getting your wedding party some monogramed rain boots for your to brave the rain in style.
Rainy Wedding Day Tip 4: Make a Rainy Wedding Day Memory
Don't pretend it didn't rain – sometimes drawing attention to it is the perfect way to deal with rain.
Instead of feeling disappointed by the weather, make it part of why your wedding was special. Bring a beautiful container or mason jar to collect some raindrops in on your special day. On the outside of the jar, write a little poem or note, commemorating the day and the rain. For example:
Rain, rain fell today on your precious wedding day.
Keep these drops for use in life
Water your first tree as partners for life,
Or sprinkle on your baby's head
Rain's a blessing now that you're wed!
The examples below show just how romantic these "wedding raindrop jars" can be.
Rainy Wedding Day Tip 5: Keep Your Cool
You simply can't control every aspect of your wedding, and that's okay. In every wedding there is at least one thing that doesn't go according to plan.
Accept that things can change and roll with it. It's still your special day, no matter the weather. Stay in the moment and enjoy your wedding day instead of dwelling on any hiccups.

Vehicle Overview
The Elantra is one of the most popular vehicles in the Hyundai lineup and has become a fan favorite among many drivers. The 2019 Hyundai Elantra gets a huge update that includes noticeable changes to the sedan's appearance, technology, and some standard safety features for some trims. According to Hyundai, these changes are a redesign, but they're more like a refresh actually. The powertrains are practically untouched, but if there's one thing that's extremely distinct about the new Elantra these days, it's the revamped exterior, which looks nothing like the 2018 Hyundai Elantra. 2019 Elantra available at Keffer Hyundai, proudly serving Charlotte Matthews North Carolina. For those who have been waiting for the new model year, you can now buy the 2019 Elantra at Keffer Hyundai, serving Charlotte Matthews North Carolina. Let's take a look at the differences between the 2019 Hyundai Elantra vs 2018 Hyundai Elantra.
Exterior - 2019 Hyundai Elantra
As mentioned, the 2019 Hyundai Elantra now has a new look with new features and additions. Hyundai gave the compact sedan new headlights, taillights, rear fascia, trunk, grille, front fascia, front fenders, and a new hood. New 16- and 17-inch wheels are available, and for the Eco trim level, you get to have the 15-inch alloy. Lower body elements and new front and rear bumpers completely changed the look of the Elantra. The front grille retains its hexagonal shape, but it's sort of squished a bit by the huge foglight housings, making the new nose a bit aggressive. To create definition, there are some distinct creases on the hood. The Sport and Limited trims feature LED headlights and taillights, but the rest of the models all have the standard projector bulbs, which are changed up as well.
Interior - 2019 Hyundai Elantra
A new addition to the Elantra's interior is the 8-inch touchscreen display with Hyundai's very own multimedia system integrated with navigation. According to the automaker, the navigation system now has a bird's eye view that offers traffic information via HD radio, and you won't need a subscription for that. The center stack also went through a makeover. It now has new air vents and climate controls, and a convenient storage tray in which you can access the wireless charging pad from in the Limited trim. For the SE trim, a 5-inch display is standard, but all the others have a larger multimedia system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Mechanical - Hyundai Elantra specs in Matthews
There's hardly a difference between the 2019 Hyundai Elantra vs 2018 Hyundai Elantra when it comes to brakes or steering. The brakes are easy to modulate, with no excess squishiness. While they're not performance oriented brakes, they still feel good and are kind of predictable to use. As for the steering, the Elantra feels direct and naturally builds effort. It doesn't have road feedback, but the steering system is ell tuned for the most part.
Powertrain - Hyundai Elantra specs in Matthews
The 2019 Hyundai Elantra retains the engine options of the 2018 Elantra. The Limited models, as well as the Value Edition, SE and SEL houses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine at 147 horsepower. SE models come with a six-speed automatic optional and six-speed manual standard, while other trim levels are only available in automatic. Meanwhile, the Eco trim has its own setup. It has a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine at 128 horsepower, available in a seven-speed dual clutch automatic. The Eco gets a 35 mpg combined highway/city figure, beating other trim levels by up to 3 mpg.
Safety - 2019 Hyundai Elantra dealer
The 2018 Hyundai Elantra didn't come with additional standard safety features. Features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and forward automatic braking were only available on Limited models, and you had to add them as options package. For 2019, Hyundai made these features standard down the trim levels. So from SEL moving up, you now get driver attention monitor, blind spot warnings, lane keep assist, and forward automatic emergency braking as standard features. However, only the Limited models have the forward pedestrian detection and adaptive cruise control. Limited models with Ultimate package also have Safe Exit Assist, which warns users exiting the car if another vehicle is approaching from behind.
There is a clear distinction when comparing the 2019 Hyundai Elantra vs 2018 Hyundai Elantra. Hyundai has definitely stepped up the compact sedan from rental fleet staple to an outstanding vehicle in its class. Its new look and added features make it a high-value choice for sedan fans.
The 2018 Hyundai Elantra is a good option, but the mint Elantra makes a more valuable choice. Visit Keffer Hyundai, proudly serving Charlotte Matthews North Carolina to take the 2019 Elantra for a test drive and for more information on the new model.

This piece is a brief description of "what it was like" in the fairly early stage of my addiction to alcohol and other stuff.
The year 1978. I am a utility assembly finisher by trade at Smith Tool Company. One of two, in that era, largest manufacturers of rock bits, used for drilling for oil and in other types of mining. I operate several machines in the performance of my job including, grinders drill presses lathes etc. Safety first right?
I am 18 years old and I have been smoking weed and drinking with increasing frequency. I worked first shift 6:30 AM-2:30 PM I arrive at work having smoked a joint or several bong hits of Columbia gold cannabis sativa. At that time the indica green bud had not yet become preferred. It was some good shit, trust me.
Today was Thursday, which was payday. We would get our checks sometime between morning break and lunch. This occasion, a sort of routine was developed over time with my buddy Dennis. Upon release for lunch, for which we have half an hour to complete, no time is wasted. Out to the parking lot into Dennis's van, a couple joints rolled quickly. One fired up and we're off to the bar that will cash our checks. 15 minutes in and out and off to Dell Taco which was one of the first to serve a 32 oz drink with a meal. Stop at the liquor store to grab a half-pint of Wild Turkey 101 proof Kentucky Bourbon. I love that stuff and it provided a nice compliment to the weed buzz. If one drinks the beverage to the top of the sun on the logo printed on the cup a half-pint fits quite nicely into the beverage. The second joint smoked on the way back to the factory, walk back into work booze in tow and security is none the wiser.

Looking back on this now I realize how hazardous it was for me to be operating large machines and grinding small parts by hand was but I was indestructible then.
That is just a taste of what it was like for me way, way early on in my using life.
Thanks for stopping by
some music from the era

One more day
I thought my mom was going to die. She was going to have a heart catheterization and we were pretty sure the news was going to be bad. I played this song for her to try to express what she meant to me. Her reaction? She was embarassed. She said, "Oh, this is a song for lovers." Then I was embarassed. BTW, she didn't die. She's still alive and raising Hell.
by Diamond Rio
Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me,
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
a mansion in malibu
I simply wished, for one more day with you
One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more
day with you
First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
Then I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the tv off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do. With one more day with you
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day

MONROVIA, Montserrado – A group advocating for the rights of communities affected by logging companies wants the legislature to ensure that the government pays communities their legal fair share of land rental fees collected from logging companies.
The National Union of Community Forestry Development Committee presented a petition to the legislature on September 6 drawing attention to what it says is a failure of the government to pay the required 30 percent of land rental fees collected to affected communities.
The group said since the enactment of the National Forest Reform Law of 2006, the government has only paid US$2 million between 2015 and 2017. That amount paid has been useful to communities, as it was used to implement over 40 community projects, including the construction of schools, clinics, vocational training centers, guest houses, community centers, and the rehabilitation of roads.
The group wants the government to begin paying arrears now. As the national budget is currently undergoing scrutiny by a joint committee, the advocates believe this is the best time to ensure that their voices are heard.
"Since the inception of this administration, not a single cent or dollar has been given to our communities through the National Community Benefit Sharing Trust Board for the benefit of affected communities,†said Vincent Doe, the chair of the group.
He cautioned that the forestry sector, which was mismanaged during the Liberian civil war, could again be used to fuel conflicts, even after the sector has undergone several reforms aimed at improving management.
Doe noted that new laws aimed at conserving and sustainably managing forests were among the key reforms to the sector, which can help alleviate poverty.
Doe noted that since the enactment of the law, communities have complained over the years that they have not benefitted, either due to forest concessions reneging to live up to their social corporate responsibilities or because the government has refused to disburse revenues collected for affected communities from logging companies.
The chairman said records received from the Forestry Development Authority shows that the government owes the communities a little over US$3 million. He said the group had engaged both the FDA and the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, but now there has been no progress.
"It is regrettable to also inform you, honorable members of this legislature, that the promise to meet with the deputy [finance] minister for fiscal affairs has not been realized despite several efforts to get them to comply through text messages and calls,†Doe said.
"Holding everything constant, we, alongside the leadership of the National Community Benefit Sharing Trust Board and the NGO Coalition of Liberia, wrote a letter to the minister of finance and development planning requesting for a meeting with him to discuss these issues. Like previous attempts made, there has been no response and all efforts applied to meet the authority of the ministry have yielded to no positive result due to either no answer to our calls or we asked to wait.â€
The co-chairman on the House's Committee on Internal Affairs, Rep. Nathaniel Barway of Grand Kru's first district, thanked the group for drawing the attention of the legislature to their plights. He promised to present their petition to the chairman of the Committee on Claims and Petitions.
"Our people have the right over their community forests,†Barway said. "They are the aboriginals of all soils and control the forests. Therefore, they were supposed to benefit 30 percent. And if they don't receive that amount, it is a concern to all of us. It's time to get the House of Representatives to act.â€
The National Union of Community Forestry Development Committee has a membership containing the 23 Community Forestry Development Committees within seven Forest Management Contract Areas in nine counties. Member counties include River Cess, Grand Kru, Lofa, River Gee, Grand Gedeh, Maryland, Nimba, Gbarpolu, and Sinoe. The national union also represents committees within nine timber sale contract areas in three counties, including Grand Bassa, Grand Cape Mount, and Gbarpolu.

MAKEPEACE, third in the Taking Shield space opera series
ANNA BUTLER (Taking Shield #3)
Glass Hat Press
$3.99 various ebook platforms, available now
Rating: 4.almost-...oh hell, make it five of five
The Publisher Says: Returning to duty following his long recovery from the injuries he sustained during the events recounted in Heart Scarab, Shield Captain Bennet accepts a tour of duty in Fleet as flight captain on a dreadnought. The one saving grace is that it isn't his father's ship—bad enough that he can't yet return to the Shield Regiment, at least he doesn't have the added stress of commanding former lover Fleet Lieutenant Flynn, knowing the Fraternisation Regulations will keep them apart.
Working on the material he collected himself on T18 three years before, Bennet decodes enough Maess data to send him behind the lines to Makepeace, once a human colony but under Maess control for more than a century. The mission goes belly up, costing Albion one of her precious, irreplaceable dreadnoughts and bringing political upheaval, acrimony and the threat of public unrest in its wake. But for Bennet, the real nightmare is discovering what the Maess have in store for humanity.
It's not good. It's not good at all.
THE AUTHOR PROVIDED ME WITH DIGITAL ARCs FOR WHICH I THANK HER. I THINK.
My Review: What makes a series work for me is the way the author handles the characters whose lives need to feel real enough to make me go with the unreality of fiction. A series of novels, stories, television episodes...all the same standard. Make me care, make me believe, or make your goodbyes as I move on to greener pastures.
Okay, I surrender. I am officially Author Butler's fanboy. The series has me by the eyelashes and I'm eager to dive into book four, The Chains of Their Sins.
A warning for those who follow me down this rabbit-hole: Do not buy the books one at a time. When you get to the ending of this book, you will be very frustrated if the next book isn't already queued up.
I am an old-time fan of space opera. I like the sweep of a long story. I adore space battles (I'm a guy, shut up). Tech talk isn't up there with dirty flirty but it's close. I want to be told stories that make sense (not necessarily in a straight line you understand, just make sense please) and I like 'em set in space because SPACE my goddesses what could possibly be more interesting?! I mean in fact as well as fiction. And I'm also a big old mushball and want my heroes to find love because heroes have hearts too. Sexytimes are fine, but I *need* my men to fall in love as well as get 'em some or why not just watch porn. (For the sake of argument, you understand.)
So here I am telling you to buy the series, ye fans of SF and ye readers of love-novels but not expecting sex or romance-novel level involvement in our hero's world. He is the hero, the story isn't totally about him, and his world is rich and densely packed with great stuff.
It isn't perfect, of course, but I'll accept the flaws for the great parts.
I'm also really excited by the major development of this book's self-contained plot arc, regarding the military future of Albion.
