|Connected areas
Onega Town contains the second Gym and a museum.
It connects with Route 303 to the east, with Shadow Path to the west and Safari Zone 1 to the north.
A brief look around Onega Town should reveal that something isn't right very quickly as two suspicious characters are standing outside of the Onega Town Museum. Onega Town offers several things to explore and doesn't require that the main storyline points be done in a specific order. Therefore the player has the option of either completing the gym first or putting it off to investigate the commotion at the museum, but they cannot progress further without completing both areas.
Exploring the rest of the town will reveal a house in the southeast corner which appears to be haunted upon entering. Interacting with the TV and answering its questions correctly will give the player a chance to capture a level 10 Rotom as well as change its forme by interacting with the TV again while Rotom is in the front of the party. An Ancient Tome can be found buried in the plant directly to the right of the door. Outside of the house is a berry patch containing 8 different types of berries for the player to harvest. A reporter standing outside of the patch will give the player a Great Ball for answering the questions she asks. To the west below the berry patch is the entrance to Shadow Path, which is currently inaccessible. However, the player can still pick up the Pokégear sitting on the ground outside of Shadow Path. The first Safari Zone can be found to the northeast.
TIP: If the player accidentally knocks out Rotom then it will not spawn again. However, there is another Rotom that can be obtained much later in the game in Constance City. Make a habit of saving before engaging any battles against special encounters such as this Rotom. The player may want to also disable autosave temporarily in case the game saves over having knocked out the Pokémon in question.
After Completing the MuseumEdit
Defeating Team Asgard/Olympus in the museum immediately generates a cut-scene back outside in Onega Town. During this cut-scene the player watches as Team Asgard/Olympus's leader, Odin/Zeus, uses the Time Caller to cause Shaymin to appear. Zeus/Odin will then capture the newly summoned Shaymin in a Master Ball before warning you to stay out of his way. This leaves you with no option but to continue your journey through Shadow Path assuming the Onega gym has been completed.
After Obtaining CutEdit
Once the player has obtained Cut they are then granted access to Onega Town's Hidden Grotto

Once the player has obtained Cut they are then granted access to Onega Town's Hidden Grotto. Some of these encounters will be the same as what can be found in other Hidden Grottos while others will be exclusive.

Executive Office of the President
ERP System Implementation for Required Sources of Supply
Less than a year ago I became a Federal Employee. Since that time I have unfortunately become accustomed to the extent at which the Federal Government's systems are siloed. There seems to be lacking an over arching goal to network systems across the DoD or Federal Government as a whole. One networking initiative with potential for high cost savings would be the implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)... more »

This Week On Twitter: Twitter vs Facebook, Twitter vs Pinterest And Twitter Buys Posterous
Need a little weekend reading? We've compiled our top ten Twitter stories of the week, which includes a look at the actual and respective values of a Facebook Like and Twitter tweet, 5 ways to be a jerk on Twitter, how social media is changing customer support, the life of a hashtag on Twitter and how Twitter can help students get better grades.
Here are our top 10 Twitter stories of the week.
1. Facebook vs Twitter – What's A Like, Share, Follow Or Tweet Actually Worth? [INFOGRAPHIC]
What's the value of a social follower? And does a fan on one platform, and their actions therein, have more value than that of another? It's a contentious issue. Moreover, are fans acquired by a promotional campaign, such as Facebook cost per click (CPC), less valuable than those who are attracted organically?
2. 5 Ways To Be A Jerk On Twitter
We're not really sure why you're reading this article. Maybe you want to get rid of a few followers. Maybe you're tired of putting on a "nice" face on Twitter. Whatever your sick and twisted reasonings, we've got the ultimate guide to being a jerk on Twitter, just for you.
3. How Social Media Is Changing The Landscape Of Customer Service [INFOGRAPHIC]
Did you know that 15 percent of 16-24 year olds prefer to interact with customer service on social media instead of any other method? Indeed, the younger demographic are very much leading the way in this social charge – a heady 71 percent say that the first thing they do when they have a problem with a product is go online, and 7 percent of this group immediately complain about it on social media.
4. The Life Of A Hashtag On Twitter [INFOGRAPHIC]
We've all seen hashtags pop up on the Trending Topics list, then fade away after people run out of jokes about their #worstdate. But what is the lifecycle of that hashtag? How did it become popular, and where did it go after? The folks at Visual.ly have just launched a tool that allows anyone to create their own infographics about Twitter accounts and hashtags, and have put together one about the life of the #infographic hashtag to illustrate this fun new tool.
5. Twitter Can Help Students Get Better Grades (But Only When Used Correctly) [INFOGRAPHIC]
Does Twitter have a legitimate place in the classroom? Some 56 percent of Twitter-using college faculties allow the use of Twitter in class, and while it remains a contentious issue, studies have shown that, used correctly, the use of Twitter can boost student grades, as well as empowering those who are otherwise less likely to engage with their teachers.
6. Women In The US Trust Pinterest Over Twitter [SURVEY]
Women are really in love with Pinterest, but they're not too enamored with Twitter. A new study from BlogHer shows that, while trust for social networks is pretty high overall, it's Pinterest that takes the cake.
7. The Ultimate Timeline Of Social Networks, 1960-2012 [INFOGRAPHIC]
If you're a history buff, or you simply like looking at info-packed infographics, this one's for you: a complete history of the evolution of social networks, from the 1960s to today.
8. How Does Pinterest Compare To Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn And Google+? [INFOGRAPHIC]
Social pinning website Pinterest is certainly getting a lot of attention of late, but is this rising star simply flavour of the month, or a bonafide challenger to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+? Or is it all an apples and oranges comparison?
9. Twitter Buys Posterous (So You'd Better Move Your Content To Tumblr ASAP)
Twitter has acquired blogging platform Posterous, and the latter's engineers, product managers and other staff members will soon be joining the existing Twitter teams so they can "make Twitter even better". In what very much appears to be a talent acquisition, existing Posterous bloggers should seriously consider moving their content to another blogger platform as soon as possible. While Twitter have given assurances that Posterous Spaces will remain up and running without disruption for now, reading between the lines in the various statements that have been made it's fairly obvious that these services will not continue indefinitely, certainly as they are now.
10. How Do Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest Make Money? [INFOGRAPHIC]
You send a tweet, update a status, pin a picture. There are nearly infinite ways you interact on your favorite social networks. But how do these networks stay in business? Money makes the world go 'round, and even a tweet must have some financial strings attached. This infographic from USBundles shows how the most popular social sites have become successful businesses, while still serving up those check-ins and live-stream videos you love.
Also this week:
- Have you ever wondered how much takes place on a typical day on the internet?
- If you think Twitter is boring, it's all your fault
- Are you a Twitter junkie?
- Fans prefer engaging with brands on Facebook over Twitter
- Is Pinterest driving more traffic than Twitter?

She runs for office.
Run, Janice, Run.
|Fundraise, Janice, Fundraise!
She runs away from one set of responsibilities to another.
She runs her mouth off to sound as if she cares.
She runs to the cameras.
She runs for the spotlight.
Run, Janice, Run!
She runs away from constituents who have serious questions about issues facing this country.
She decided to run a sit-in at the Port of Los Angeles High School.
See Janice Fundraise.
Fundraise, Janice, fundraise.
The whole gun-control sit-in was a media, publicity, upstart fraud.
Shameful from beginning to end.
Congressman Tom McClintock blasted the House minority for wasting time and money, as well as silencing the representatives from all over the country.
That was wrong. Shame on the gun-grabbing Democrats.
All of them.
One more reflection comes to mind about the gun-control sit-in that wasn't.
Where were the advocates for the Second Amendment?
Where were the representatives from the National Rifle Association, or from other firearms community groups?
One NRA representative told me that they usually do not attend such events because the media spins their appearance and makes them look bad.
You know what? The left-wing press is going to any lengths to report information friendly to its regressive interests.
It's time to confront and exploit the media, force them to cover the truth, or at least to hear our side, even if they do not want to.
I attend the gun-control sitzkrieg, and I made it on the news. So did another Second Amendment advocate. We made a difference.
People all over the region contacted me that they saw me speak.
The firearms communities which want to defend the Second Amendment should not be gun-shy about attending those events.
How else do Second Amendment supporters intend to change minds, if they won't meet with them?
Conservatives need to reach out to communities where people have not heard the message or seen the principles work in their favor.
Let's go out there and make our case with all guns blazing!

Can You Guess The 5 In Variety's 'Power of Women'?
In this year's seventh annual issue of "Power of Women," Variety put the spotlight on five women doing it big in the nonprofit industry. Variety honored Kim Kardashian, Whoopi Goldberg, Lena Dunham, Rachel Weisz, and Glenn Close — a totally talented, intelligent and, yes, powerful bunch.
When Kardashian isn't busy taking perfect selfies and publishing a book out of them, she's helping out the Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Goldberg is an honorary chair of nonprofit Figure Skating in Harlem. Weisz teamed up with her hubby, Daniel Craig, to help Opportunity Network to continue to support academics through student scholarships and Close founded Bring Change 2 Mind, which is a nonprofit that brings awareness about mental illnesses. And can't forget about Dunham. She is a huge advocate of Gems, a nonprofit for those who have experienced sexual exploitation in New York.
Each cover of each respective woman is a beautiful shot that reveals their inner-powerful beast. Kim K. shows her power through her over-the-shoulder smize, while Dunham poses in a tux, looking cute and boyish. Close rocks an ear cuff and gazes away from camera on her cover, while Goldberg smiles warmly on hers, cuddling up to her sweater. On Weisz's cover, she stands tall in a powerful black and white shot. It's tremendously inspiring to see these women using their time, fame, and effort to help these organizations thrive.

In a "Feature Comment" published in The Government Contractor, Crowell & Moring attorneys explore how False Claims Act (FCA) plaintiffs are taking an increasingly aggressive position on how damages should be calculated—i.e., that the government is entitled to three times the amount of the total contract value, regardless of any value actually received, because the claim for payment was "tainted" by an underlying legal violation. Whistleblowers (referred to as relators under the FCA) have strong financial incentives to push for extensive damages the "tainted claim" theory because their bounty is tied to the amount of the government's recovery. But to the defense bar and industry, such recoveries—in cases where goods and services were delivered—seem like a windfall. The article explores how courts have addressed the tainted claim theory in cases in which the market value of the harm is not readily calculable, such as in cases of fraudulent inducement and small business fraud.

That's understandable, we know there are many questions to answer.
Sometimes it helps to talk with someone experienced at working with people getting started in voice-over. We're always glad to share our knowledge with you!
If you'd prefer to speak with us, call 888-321-EDGE (3343) 10am - 6pm ET.
And we'll call you back with an answer.
NOTE: This is the second post in a two-part article.Click here to read part one.
Last week, we talked about how the podcasting field has grown and changed. We said that we like the idea of thinking of a podcast as "plain, clear talk."
This week, we'll present some tips to help reach that goal, so that your podcast content will be plain and clear to listeners, as clear as its audio quality should be.
First things first ... "Content is King." That's been said forever about websites. It's should also be your first concern in podcasting. So what's the most important thing in podcasting content?
1. Have a goal. On any sort of project, a clear objective makes it easier to be productive. It's especially important in podcasting. Unlike some projects, on a podcast you could just open your mouth and start talking. About anything. But unless you're a fabulous raconteur, you it's too easy to wander verbally all over the place. You'll appeal to no particular audience, and probably won't communicate your point very efficiently. That is, if you have a point. So rule number one is, have a point.
2. Be unique. If you can't be unique, at least be special. In short, give your listeners a reason for listening. If they're heard it before, why hear it again? (Our apologies if you've heard this before.)
3. Be meaningful. Meaningful to your listeners, that is. If your goal is to discuss the life of an obscure Namib Desert beetle, it may be specific and unique, but how many people care? How do you know if it's relevant? Easy – identify the benefits it provides to others. You'll soon be marketing your podcast, and in marketing, "customer benefit" is what it's all about. If the subject is beneficial to people, it will almost automatically be interesting ... if you also follow the rest of these principles.
NOTE: This is the first post in a two-part article. Stay tuned next week for part two!
Is there a podcast in your future? As a listener, almost surely. As voice talent, not necessarily -- but it's increasingly likely, one way or another.
A podcast is a "radio-like" program distributed via RSS feed syndication. Listeners download the program as an .MP3 audio file or a video file. (The audience sizes of audio and video are roughly 50/50.) The RSS feed is a "push" technology – listeners are alerted when a new episode is available.
You can set yourself up as a podcaster in an hour or two. There are innumerable books on how to do it, and the to-do list is rather long, so we won't get into that in this article. What we want to document here is how podcasting has evolved. And then how you, yourself, might grow into it for fun and profit.
Podcasting's growth over the past decade has been exponential. In early 2013, 32-million people listened to at least one podcast per month. Last year, Apple's iTunes app generated more than a billion podcast subscriptions (Edison Research).
While the audience was once dominated by males, Forbes magazine recently predicted major growth in female listenership.
Last year, finally more people listened on mobile devices than did on computer. It used to be hassle to get the file onto your mobile device, but the hassle factor has been reduced by the prevalence of smart phones and tablets, and the emergence of apps and new podcast sources.

"3. Addiction. Several studies have actually suggested that the brains of technology abusers develop a certain pattern of change over time. Studies also suggest that the amount of times technology abusers check their gadgets are just enough to trigger the addiction-oriented parts of our brains. " -Source
This nugget is only number three in a list of mental health ailments that technology and social media users are prone to. We all have that friend who is constantly on their phone no matter what, checking in on Facebook, writing minute-by-minute blog posts and Instagramming their latest meal. If you don't have that friend, you are that friend. They can't tear away from their device and the internet world because they are addicted to it. I have been talking about the way technology and social media mess with our brain chemistry and we have studies to prove that certain uses and abusing of this technology can trigger parts of our brain that are not so great.
"Bullying was around before the Internet, but cyberbullying makes it easier," explained Dr. Brian Primack, an assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Primack also noted that children are hardwired to experiment and push boundaries. Today's technology may just make that easier. Primack pointed out that "sexting" is a good example of this. Sexting is defined as "sending, receiving or forwarding sexually explicit messages, photographs or images via cell phone, computer or other digital devices," according to the report." -Source
Not only does technology and social media have an adverse effect on adult brains, but it can be especially detrimental to the minds of our youngsters who still have a lot of brain wiring to go. Social media can facilitate cyberbullying, leading to depression and anxiety in targeted teenagers, and sexting to untrustworthy people can lead to picture leaks and defamation which would also cause depression, anxiety, and possibly suicidal tendencies in the younger generations using the same technology.
"More and more people will be confronted with consequences such as divorce and physical symptoms which will force them to seek both medical and psychological treatment…Furthermore, such behaviors can lead to cybersexual addiction…Some physical symptoms include "cyber shakes," dry eyes, carpal tunnel syndrome and headaches." -Source
Along with mental health issues, the entire body has become involved. Technology effects both the mental and physical and real world relationships. If someone becomes obsessed with adult websites, their marriage may not last long. If someone becomes obsessed with continuous blogging, their wrists may not last long. Obviously, there has to be some sort of stopping point individuals themselves must identify, for all of the effects are preventable.

So the math is getting more difficult, and there aren't too many story problems so I couldn't make it too "girly" — but completed Introduction to the Graphing Calculator, Exponents and Roots in Algebra, and Introduction to Polynomials. These topics are mainly taught either at the end of Algebra I or beginning of Algebra II.
On to full blown Quadratics; this will be a long one, since there will be a lot of factoring.
I'm getting a good number of hits on the web site; I'm really happy!
Spread the word, and have fun with math!!

Excursion-train rides are fun for the whole family, and several lines in Northern California allow dogs to ride along, too. Our pick for a fall rail outing: Pumpkin Trains at the Western Railway Museum in Solano County.
This relatively undiscovered (and dog-friendly) gem of a living-history museum gives visitors the opportunity to ride historic street cars and interurban electric trains collected from throughout California and the western states. Pumpkin Patch trains run the first three weekends of October (starting Oct. 7), delivering passengers to a fun zone with live music, a straw fort, gift shop, pumpkin-chunkin' booth, pick-a-pumpkin patch and more. Fare is $14 for adults, $10 for kids 2-14, $12 for seniors 65 and older.
Other dog-friendly rail options in NorCal include:
Mendocino County's Skunk Trains, so named because the self-propelled, gasoline-powered "railbus" cars stunk to high heaven, depart out of Willits and Fort Bragg for dog-friendly, seasonally themed trips through the redwoods.
In Santa Cruz County, Roaring Camp Railroad operates steam excursion trains on a narrow-gauge track once used to haul giant redwood logs from the forest. Its Harvest Faire & Steam Festival, Sept. 30-Oct. 1, welcomes fall with children's activities including craft making, gold panning, pumpkin picking and more, while steam-powered exhibits run the gamut from printing presses to player pianos.
The Yosemite Sugar Pine Railroad in Fish Camp, near the entrance to the national park, is irresistible not only to rail buffs, but to families who want to make lasting memories. Dogs are welcome on daytime rides aboard cars pulled by a 1913 logging locomotive. Picnic grounds and hiking trails extend the experience.
At Tuolumne County's Railtown 1897 State Historic Park, dogs can accompany their people in open-air cars pulled by vintage locomotives along a 6-mile, 45-minute route. Harvest Haunt Express trains run weekends in October with a "skeleton crew" and fun weekly themes, while Polar Express trains run eight days in November and December (ticket sales open Oct. 12) In between, enjoy Tales of the Roundhouse Haunted Tours on Oct. 20-21.

Oh no! Apparently we haven't been checking Chinasmack enough recently because we completely missed out on this Michael Jackson tribute. On July 12th, at 5pm, a bunch of fans gathered at People's Square on Xizang Lu and Nanjing Lu to "complete MJ's unfinished dance" in one minute. So for a total of 60 seconds, a crowd of people jamoned and moonwalked and crotch grabbed and acted completely crazy!
This is the first time we've ever seen Chinese people participate in a flash mob… and we missed it. That's making us sadder than the death of the King of Pop itself.

I first befriended her when we had just completed our secondary school education respectively in the late 60s. Jong's demure physique, her smart and pretty, bespectacled young face caught my attention that I yearned to befriend her. Soon we were talking to each other like old chums as we found each other good company and were able to communicate over common interests. We went out few times on bicycle dates (at that time the only viable, decent transport for my generation in my town was the bicycles); saw one or two movies and it seemed that the friendship would go on for a while.
You still can see some ladies in rural Taiwan go cycling about holding an umbrella.
It was a hard time for me as I could not continue my education following my father's sudden demise right after my 'O' level results were released. I did not fare good enough to study 'A' Level in a governmental public school. It was strenuous for my teacher mother to make both ends meet then and my family was in dire straits. As she had many other mouths to feed she expected me to find employment quickly. I managed to find some part time jobs and was able to sustain my meagre living to study 'A' Level on my own and later in a night school. Still I managed to find time to see Jong in the evening hours; sometimes just talking to her over the fence of her home was equally fulfilling like going on a date. Her stern mother would be keeping watch a short distance away to make sure nothing untoward would happen. The older lady's silent glare was quite intimidating though.
When a group of my schooling peers organized a trip to an off shore island for an outing, I urged Jong to come along and she gladly accepted the invitation. On that fine day we landed at that tropical island in the Straits of Malacca after 3 to 4 hours choppy ride on an old, large fishing boat, ready to discover the scenic island with its natural surrounding. Jong and I strolled through the undulating shoreline, over rocks and sandy beaches, until large border rocks prevented us from going further. The unforgettable, sweet experience on the island reminded me the ballade 'Stoney' sung by Lobo: "………….we walked for hours in the sand………she would always try to hold my hand………' There and then we saw something unexpected: One young couple was locked in tight embrace, kissing passionately on the rock under the hot sun without any shelter! Their faces turned beet red when they saw us staring at them and they quickly separated. They were members of our entourage. My nonchalant friend Jong just murmured to me coolly: Oh, here they are.
There was another event that I remembered quite vividly; I took her to a neighboring town to visit my maternal grandmother who was then not feeling very well. Despite her frail condition Grandma was washing clothes when we greeted her. The moment she saw a girl standing besides me, she told me to get married quickly so as to help my own mother washing clothes! We were stunned and did not know how to answer her. We were just below 20 years old then.
A group of Sabah Chinese primary school teachers holding large Teachers' Day greeting cards.
The Teacher wrote: Ni Hau (How are you?)
Jong had been a temporary teacher in a Chinese primary school since she completed her secondary education. One day she told me in her excitement that she had been accepted to be a trainee in a teachers' training college some 100km away. I was happy for her and congratulated her for her attempt to be a confirmed teacher in her prudence. At the same time I felt sad as I was not gainfully employed nor did I have the opportunity to further my studies. It was going to be a long 2 years for her training sojourn whilst I relished on past memories; yet I would not be able to see her as much as I liked to. I made a drastic decision and with my immature mind I wrote her a short parting letter:
Dear Jong,
Thank you for being so kind to me for the past few months. I am glad that you've come along to be a great companion. Your fate and aspiration to be a teacher is already sealed and confirmed with your acceptance into the training college. I think I should not be seeing you anymore; I hereby wish you the best in your future endeavors.
I knew that my letter probably broke her heart a while as there was not reply. She did send me some New Year greeting cards for the next one year or two. There was no contact between us for the next two to three decades as we grew older to enter our post middle age years. I was told by a common friend that she had taken care of her ailing father after her mother's demise and helped to look after her younger siblings. She was then already married with children of her own and after her father's passing, she left for Maui, Hawaii, USA with her entire own family to start a new life and to face a new challenge.
The Hawaiian Islands
With the help of that common friend I obtained her e-mail address recently and we were connected again after so many years of silence from each other. We met once when I picked her up at the airport and sent her to her brother's residence at the suburb of our city when she came back for holidays. She now enjoys a blissful family of three girls and one boy, and her businessman husband. Her children are grown adults and have careers of their own in
and in the US Continent. All of them have excelled in their tertiary education earlier with their internship (in the form of students exchange) done in Hawaii Japan, China and . Meanwhile she helps her husband to run a large scaled souvenir centre in one of the Singapore Hawaiian Islands. Life have been complete and fulfilling by now for Jong after so many tough years since she worked so hard to become an exemplary school teacher. She remains my good friend for life. God Bless Her.

Quick Look: Two-Handed
|Suggested Perks
Your Two-Handed Skill Level determines your damage with two-handed weapons. Its perks are nearly an exact copy of the One-Handed perks; you have perks that decrease Stamina consumed by power attacks, perks that unlock more devastating power attacks, and perks that give different weapon types (greatsword, battle axe and warhammer) bonus critical damage, bleed damage and armor penetration, respectively.
There's just something majestic about two-handed weapons.. and in a game like Skyrim, the appeal to be a battle-axe bearing barbarian is really there. Unfortunately, some flaws exist on the combat side of things that make One-Handed weapons more appealing.. namely the terrible speed of Two-Handed weapons, which is bad enough to make one question whether the damage output is even worth it. Also, with One-Handed weapons you can use spells or a shield in your off-hand, or dual-wield, making One-Handed more versatile in basically every way.
Perk Picks
You only need one melee skill, and One-Handed is arguably the superior one, so for general power-gameyness, no investement is recommended in Two-Handed. If you must induldge yourself to play that badass barbarian, however, getting five ranks in "Barbarian" is an obvious move to double the damage you'll deal. Pick any one weapon type and spend three perks to in either "Limbsplitter", "Deep Wounds" or "Skullcrusher", then buff up your power attacks by grabbing "Champion's Stance" and "Devastating Blow". None of the other perks are terribly recommended; the only one that should seem terribly interesting is "Sweep", but "hitting all targets in front of you" almost always means one, rarely two, and if the stars align, three. Not something you'll use often enough to matter.
Leveling Tips
Like One-Handed, you level Two-Handed by hitting enemies. Riveting stuff, right? Here, however, is the only place where Two-Handed has an edge, as despite the slower attack speed, Two-Handed actually tends to level up more quickly. Like One-Handed and Sneak, take the opportunity presented by having an immortal, non-hostile ally in Helgen (Ralof or Hadvar) by beating on them until your Two-Handed skill is maxed… or as close to it as you can stand to get it.

Mobility scooters are useful pieces of technology that can take anyone from point A to point B. For people who are nursing an injury, is too old, or is no longer able to walk, a mobility scooter is a right investment for them. However, brand new scooter cost so much that people are immediately put off by it. On the other hand, some people resort to buying second hand mobility scooters Adelaide. The question now is, 'is it worth it?' Is it a good bargain? Let's find out by looking at multiple angles.
Determining What You Need
When buying for a mobility scooter, the first thing you need to consider is the purpose. Why do you need a mobility scooter for? Are you going to use it often? Are you planning to use it outdoors? These are just some of the questions that you need to ask when assessing the reason why you need a mobility scooter. It will also determine what type of mobility scooter you want to buy. At the same time, it will also be the right time to assess whether you're okay with buying a second-hand mobility scooter or if you need it to be brand new. Weigh your options and make sure you're not biased with your decisions.
Your Budget
Another essential factor to consider is your budget. No matter how much you want to go for a new mobility scooter that hasn't been used by anyone, you need to consider your budget if it can afford to buy a brand-new scooter. Also, keep in mind that second-hand scooters are twice as less expensive than brand new variants. That means if you can afford a new one, yet you want to save money by not spending too much on your scooter, then second hand mobility scooters Adelaide is a viable option for you.
Where to Buy?
If you've decided to choose second-hand scooters, the next thing you need to consider is where to buy one. You can either buy it from a store or negotiate with another person who is trying to sell theirs. Second-hand mobility scooters are also available in online stores. However, no matter where you choose to buy your second-hand mobility scooter, you should make sure that you can check it thoroughly before you make your purchase. That way, you can guarantee that it's functional and in excellent condition.
To conclude, second hand mobility scooters Adelaide is a viable option if you choose to go for it. However, you need to make some adjustments to your purchasing decisions, as well as do some extra work to land the best one for your needs.

United States District Court, D. Connecticut
April 19, 2018
DAVID J. CRESPO, Petitioner,v.UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent.
C. Hall, United States District Judge
petitioner, David J. Crespo ("Crespo"), filed a
Motion to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct Sentence pursuant to
section 2255 of title 28 of the United States Code on April
28, 2017. See Motion to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct
Sentence ("Mot. to Vacate") (Doc. No. 1).
Subsequently, this court appointed counsel to represent
Crespo on May II, 2017. (Doc. No. 8). On August 7, 2017,
counsel for Crespo filed an Amended Motion to Vacate, Correct
or Set Aside Sentence ("Am. Mot. to Vacate")
(Doc. No. 15), which is currently pending before this court.
argues that his trial counsel was ineffective for permitting
the government to interview the defense's expert witness,
Dr. Jay St. Mark, the day before Crespo's sentencing
without Crespo's permission to waive the attorney-client
privilege. See generally Am. Mot. to Vacate at
11-18. He also argues that his trial counsel was ineffective
for failing to cross-examine a government witness, Mark
Lewis, at the sentencing hearing about an inconsistency in
his statements regarding the price of a painting that the
sentencing court relied on in determining intended loss.
See generally id. at 19-28. The respondent, the
United States ("the government"), opposes
Crespo's Motion. See Government's Response
to Defendant's Motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to
Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence
("Gov't's Resp.") (Doc. No. 19).
For the
reasons set forth below, Crespo's Amended Motion to
Vacate is DENIED.
April 3, 2012, Crespo was arrested on a complaint charging
him with mail fraud, in violation of section 1341 of title 18
of the United States Code, and wire fraud, in violation of
section 1343 of title 18 of the United States Code, involving
the sale of fake Chagall and Picasso artwork. Crespo Criminal
Docket, Complaint (Doc. No. 1). Attorney Richard Marquette,
who had previously represented Crespo on a retained basis,
was appointed to represent Crespo. (Doc. No. 11). On August
8, 2012, a grand jury indicted Crespo on nine counts of wire
fraud and three counts of mail fraud. (Doc. No. 15). On
September 3, 2013, Crespo pled guilty before Judge Ellen B.
Burns to Count Twelve of the Indictment, which charged him
with the sale of a purported Chagall lithograph. (Doc. No.
On June
5, 2014, the final Presentence Report was filed. Crespo
Criminal Docket, PSR (Doc. No. 83). On September 9, 2014,
Crespo and Attorney Marquette filed a letter objecting to
nearly all of the offense conduct detailed in the Presentence
Report. (Doc. No. 198-1). In order to resolve Crespo's
objections, on December 16 and 17, 2014, Judge Burns held a
hearing at which the government called the case agent, three
victims, and a second FBI agent who was present for an
interview of Crespo. Joint Appendix ("JA") at
214-613.[1] Crespo called his treating physician and
testified himself. Id.
January 16, 2015, Judge Burns sentenced Crespo to 57 months
of incarceration, followed by three years of supervised
release. Crespo Criminal Docket, Minute Entry (Doc. No. 131).
Judge Burns also ordered restitution, which would be
determined at a later date. Id. Judgment was entered
on January 30, 2015 (Doc. No. 132)), and Crespo filed a
notice of appeal on the same day (Doc. No. 134). On February
5, 2015, Judge Burns issued a memorandum describing how she
had calculated Crespo's guidelines range. JA 734-38.
Subsequently, Attorney Marquette withdrew as Crespo's
counsel and was replaced by Assistant Federal Defender David
Keenan, who represented Crespo at the restitution proceedings
and on appeal.
On July
1, 2015, having been transferred the case after Judge
Burns's retirement, the undersigned ordered Crespo to pay
$336, 306 in restitution to 12 victims. JA 870-73. Crespo
filed a Notice of Appeal challenging the Restitution Order on
July 6, 2015. Crespo Criminal Docket, Notice of Appeal (Doc.
No. 187).
On June
1, 2016, the Second Circuit affirmed Crespo's conviction
and sentence. United States v. Crespo, 651 Fed.
App'x 10 (2d Cir. 2016). The court rejected Crespo's
claims that the district court erred in accepting his guilty
plea and that the district court erred substantively and
procedurally in imposing his sentence. See id. The
court declined to resolve Crespo's claim as to
ineffectiveness of counsel based on the government's
interview of Dr. Jay St. Mark, the defense expert Crespo had
retained to assist in his defense at his sentencing. See
id. at 15.
collateral challenges are in tension with society's
strong interest in the finality of criminal convictions, the
courts have established rules that make it more difficult for
a defendant to upset a conviction by collateral, as opposed
to direct, attack." Yick Man Mui v. United
States, 614 F.3d 50, 53 (2d Cir. 2010) (internal
quotation marks omitted). Section 2255 of title 28 of the
United States Code permits a federal prisoner to move to
vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence "upon the
ground that the sentence was imposed in violation of the
Constitution or laws of the United States, or that the court
was without jurisdiction to impose such sentence, or that the
sentence was in excess of the maximum authorized by law, or
is otherwise subject to collateral attack." 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255(a) (2016). Therefore, relief is available
"under § 2255 only for a constitutional error, a
lack of jurisdiction in the sentencing court, or an error of
law that constitutes a fundamental defect which inherently
results in a complete miscarriage of justice."
Cuoco v. United States, 208 F.3d 27, 30 (2d Cir.
2000) (quoting United States v. Bokun, 73 F.3d 8, 12
(2d Cir. 1995)).
petitioner bears the burden of proving he is entitled to
relief by a preponderance of the evidence. See Skaftouros
v. United States, 667 F.3d 144, 158 (2d Cir. 2011). In
deciding a section 2255 motion, the court must hold a
hearing, "unless the motion and the files and records
of the case conclusively show that the plaintiff is entitled
to no relief." 28 U.S.C. § 2255(b). However, a
petitioner is not automatically entitled to a hearing, and no
hearing is required where a petitioner's
"allegations are 'vague, conclusory, or palpably
incredible.'" Gonzalez v. United States,
722 F.3d 118, 130 (2d Cir. 2013) (quoting Machibroda v.
United States, 368 U.S. 487, 495 (1962)). To determine
whether a prisoner is entitled to an evidentiary hearing on
the motion, the court looks "primarily to the affidavit
or other evidence proffered in support of the application in
order to determine whether, if the evidence should be offered
at a hearing, it would be admissible proof entitling the
petitioner to relief." LoCasc ...

A nervous wait for solar PV payback
The scaling back of feed-in tariffs in several Australian states will alter the shape of the PV market. It may not mean less solar systems but it will mean smaller ones.
In the last few months the New South Wales, South Australia and West Australia governments have scaled back the price PV owners are paid for electricity they export to the grid. The reduction has been to levels substantially below the retail electricity price these same owners pay for any electricity they import from the grid. The analysis detailed below suggests this will have two major implications for the solar sector:
1) The trend towards larger solar systems is likely to reverse and it makes much more sense for households to install a system of about 1 kilowatt rather than the three to five kilowatt systems that had become popular.
2) The more energy-efficient a household, the lower the incentive to install a solar system. Solar will make much more sense for large energy consuming households that are less likely to export their solar generation. Perversely the solar sector could find itself in a battle with government initiatives to improve household energy efficiency.
In WA, the price the main electricity retailer will pay is seven cents per kilowatt-hour for generation exported to the grid. In SA, the regulator requires retailers to pay 7.1 cents, which will then increase to 11.2 cents by 2013-14. In NSW, the regulator did not impose any mandatory requirement on electricity retailers, but suggested an appropriate rate would be between 5.2 cents to 10.3 cents. Meanwhile, the Australian Energy Market Commission expects that, by 2013-14, the price households pay for electricity they consume from the grid will rise to between 29 cents to 32 cents.
The table below provides an indicative illustration of how this is likely to affect the financial returns of a household solar system in the mainland capital cities for a 1.5 kilowatt system and a 3 kilowatt system (this excludes any government support such as renewable energy certificates). It is based on prices similar to those being offered by a number of major solar PV suppliers in Australia.
The table illustrates the time it would take before the amount of money saved by the system outweighs its cost – its 'payback period'. It is also illustrates the profit a home-owner would have earned in 15 years after paying financing costs to the bank assuming an 8 per cent interest rate. It looks at two alternative tariff structures:
-- A one-for-one situation where solar PV owners get paid the same rate for their exported electricity as they pay for any electricity they import. Also the electricity price is kept at 25 cents rather than the 30 cents it is expected to rise to.
-- A potential future state where electricity is 30c/kWh and exported generation is paid just 8 cents
It also considers whether the household exports 25 per cent or 50 per cent of the solar system's electricity generation.
Effect of different tariff structures on household solar PV financial returns
Note: System price assumed is $2,800 per kilowatt. Profit is based on net financial returns over 15 year period based on bank loan at 8 per cent nominal interest rate. Credit to Sarah Morton who developed the spreadsheet calculator.
For Melbourne a solar PV system is not a great investment under any case without government support. But the difference between tariffs on a one-for-one basis versus the alternative of 8 cents for exports is not all that great provided the household has installed a small system and is exporting less than 25 per cent of the generation. But if 50 per cent of the generation is exported (which I manage to do with a 1.4kW system) then you never manage to get a payback on the system and you'd have to be extremely altruistic to install a larger system.
For the other state mainland capitals the profit on a PV system is also not going to get anyone particularly excited. With a 1.5kW system it doesn't make all that much difference between getting a one for one tariff structure or the 30 cent import/8 cent export tariff provided you export 25 per cent or less of generation. But again the red ink looks rather ugly if you install a larger system and export 50 per cent or more of the generation.
Of course the motivations behind purchasing solar systems are not entirely driven by a rational financial analysis. Also the renewable energy certificate rebate makes a big difference which is not incorporated in the table above. Nonetheless it seems reasonable to expect that such a large financial disadvantage for large systems will ultimately flow through to consumer decisions.
Also what is particularly worrying is that the incentive to improve energy efficiency is significantly dulled by these changes in tariff structures for those with PV systems installed. My own home is not particularly radical in terms of its energy efficiency features, yet I manage to export 50 per cent of generation from my 1.4 kilowatt system (and it is regularly occupied during daytime periods) in large part due to use of natural gas and no air conditioner. Also households are likely to become similar to my own, driven by rapidly rising electricity prices, and plunging costs for energy efficient appliances and lighting. This may not bode well for the solar PV sector.

Introduction: Wire Coil Zinc - Copper Battery
The well known "lemon battery" uses an acid to dissolve zinc and release electrons which flow back into the solution to form hydrogen gas.
These batteries are quite weak by comparison to store bought batteries, but it can be a useful learning tool.
Why are these batteries weak? In part, it is due to the chemical reaction and metals, but I wanted to squeeze every bit out of this battery concept by reducing the distance between zinc and copper, and increasing the surface area of both. To do this, I created stranded, coiled, wire and used a shoelace as a barrier between the metals, also serving as a permeable substrate for the electrolyte, vinegar.
Three cells in series produced 2.4V and illuminated a small LED, although current was very low. Production of hydrogen gas was very noticeable.
I wanted to share these methods with you in the hopes that this construction technique inspires other projects.
I was particularly fond of the lemon battery instructable by madaeon linked here: https://www.instructables.com/id/The-micro-Lemon-Battery-reusable-1-hour-of-led-l/
Step 1: Materials and Tools
The battery needs Zinc, Copper, and an acid.
For the zinc, I researched online and found that galvanized metal should be coated in zinc. Unfortunately, the wire packaging doesn't directly state that it is zinc, but I think it is. Galvanized steel wire functions as a source of zinc.
Copper wire can easily be found in most craft and hardware stores.
I chose to use white distilled vinegar for the acid, because there aren't any additional molecules of sugar or salt to think about.
To keep the two types of wire close but not directly touching I suggest shoelaces. They will absorb the electrolyte, but maintain a small distance between the metals.
For tools: I needed scissors, wire cutters, an electric drill, and a C-clamp.
Step 2: Creating Stranded Wire
Take about 20 feet of wire and loop it around your clamp. Insert the two free ends into the chuck of your electric drill and tighten them down. Spin the wires together to form stranded wire. Repeat with both wire types.
Strand the copper wire an additional two times to thicken it up. This will become the core of our hollow shoelace.
Step 3: Coiling the Wires Into a Cable
Cut one end of the shoelace and insert the thicker copper stranded cable into the hollow shoelace.
Push the copper cable all the way in, hopefully you have some excess at the end, otherwise you'll need to keep some exposed so you can make an electrical connection later.
Begin wrapping the galvanized cable around the shoelace with copper core. Wrap the entire thing until you reach the end.
Now, we have a large amount of zinc and copper ready to react with very little distance between them, but not touching. The shoelace will absorb the acid.
To save space, over coil the cable in on itself or wrap it around itself. You can be as creative as you like here, just remember that the exposed copper and one end of your galvanized wire are our connection leads to measure the voltage.
Step 4: Electrical Tests
As you can see from the images, without any acid, the coils produce no voltage. Once the acid is added, each cell produced ~1 volt and all three in series produced > 2 V.
In the closeup image, note the gas bubbles rising. This is hydrogen gas, and these coils produced a lot of it, continuously. There could be a project in here...
Lastly, check the multimeter set to current measurement. This is the current in a short circuit. Max, 40 micro Amps. I was able to illuminate a blue LED with these three cells as a battery.

I think this is interesting. What would happen if you rotated the coil in the electrolytic or rotated the electrolytic around the coil?
Thanks for your interest barrycdog. Those could be some good alterations. One thing I discovered while doing this is that the reaction creates a lot of gas which forms bubbles all over the metal. This probably slows down the reaction as they tend to just stick. I am left wondering if there is a way to clear these bubbles as they are formed to keep the reaction up. Then again, maybe we could try these construction techniques with totally different types of battery reactions.
How many of these would I need to put in series to start an RV stranded in the desert?
PKM is spot on. I think you are better off looking into solar panels and super capacitors if you need an emergency car starter.
Gadzooks! I wasted all my money on all these shoelaces and jars! Now what do I do? I'll build a shweet hanging garden. Ah, wait, my RV is still stuck...
In series? The author states "three cells in series produced 2.4V", and you'll want 12V to start your engine, so you'd need five times as many, or fifteen cells.
The author also states that the cells produced about 40 microamps. I thought that was a typo but looked at the photo, and the multimeter is definitely set to the microamp range. To start a car engine you need a current of something like 100A, which means you'd need (100/0.00004) = 2,500,000 of these jars in parallel with each other, or 37,500,000 in total. That's a lot of jars.
So you're saying there is chance it could work? :)
My inquiry was kind of a joke. There was an episode of 'Breaking Bad' where the character's RV was stranded in the desert and they had to make homemade chemical batteries to jump start it.
How long would it produce energy if pure acid was available all time?
The limiting reagent is the Zinc. The more zinc you have, the longer this battery will last. You could try and hunt down pure zinc wire, or look into a design that uses zinc plates. Galvanized steel is mostly steel, just plated in a thin layer of zinc.
Does length affect voltage? Have you tried other acids or concentrations?
The voltage is more a product of the chemistry. It maxes out at 1V. The current capacity of the battery would increase with length / more metal.

So why did we descend twenty eight locks before noon today? We succumbed to a spot of opportunism. the Tipton Lockwheeler - John W - offered to give us a hand down the Stourbridge Sixteen and the weather forecast was for NO RAIN.
|Delph Nine- well the middle six
What else could we do? We left Merry Hill at 6am and John caught us up at 9am as we were clearing carrier bags from the prop in the top lock of the Stourbridge flight. We had, by then, already descended the Delph Nine (which are only eight since two locks were replaced by one).
With the extra pair of hands we made good time down the 16 and also the Stourton 4
We tied up for the day at 12.05h and felt happy to be back on the Staffs & Worcs canal after so long away from my favourite waterway.
How can a canal with such elegant sluices not be my favourite?

North Adams, MA- Fitchburg State's Angelina Marazzi scored 22 points and helped the visiting Falcons overcome a halftime deficit as they went on to defeat the MCLA Trailblazers 73-64 in MASCAC action this evening. The Falcons improve to 8-6 overall and sit at 2-1 in the MASCAC. MCLA drops to 4-10 and is now 0-4 in the MASCAC.
MCLA came out firing on all cylinders as they sprinted out to a 28-18 lead after one quarter of play. The Trailblazers shot a sizzling 59% in the opening quarter, but they couldn't keep up the pace. The Falcons held MCLA to just six points in the second quarter as they climbed back to within three at halftime trailing just 34-31.
In the third quarter, the Falcons took the lead for keeps. With the game knotted at 41-41, the Falcons took the lead on Catherine Coppinger's triple to go up 44-41. They would never relinquish the lead again. Coppinger's three started a 7-1 spurt for Fitchburg and they eventually led 51-48 after three quarters of play.
In the final quarter, the Falcons opened up a 63-55 lead with four minutes remaining on Emma Thompson's triple, but MCLA made one final push. A Kylah Langston jumper and free throw cut the lead to five and then L'Rae Brundige knocked down a bucket to get within three points at 63-60 with under three minutes remaining. A huge three from Mishelle Logie extended the lead back to six, but just one minute later, a Sam Gawron layup brought MCLA back within four points at 68-64.
Once again, the Falcons had the answer from deep. This time, it was Payton Holmes who knocked one down with just 59 seconds left to put the Falcons up 71-64. MCLA would get no closer the rest of the way giving the visitors the conference win.
Marazzi was outstanding as she went 9-20 from the floor for her 22 point night. Coppinger added 13 points and collected a game high 20 rebounds for Fitchburg. Thomson would end the contest with 13 points also. Holmes came off the bench for her 10.
The Falcons shot 41% from the floor and owned a 53-42 edge off the glass led by Coppinger.
MCLA was paced by Brundige's team high 15 point night. Kylah Langston added 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. Mckenzie Robinson finished with 12 points while Courtney Pingelski added 10.
The Trailblazers ended the game shooting just 32% after their torrid start.
MCLA is back in action Friday with a non league tilt at Trinity. Fitchburg State will host Worcester State on Saturday.

Burr Has Lost His F......ing Mind
When I heard that yesterday, I immediately emailed Burr. "What in the hell are you doing?
Harassing our president by going after his son is unbelievable!! Go home!!."
Following are others' reactions as recorded in Breitbart today:
"Burr's decision to issue the subpoena has sparked fierce backlash on the right. As of now, not a single Republican has publicly defended him–but a growing number keep joining the ranks of those criticizing the move. Even GOP members of his own Senate Intelligence Committee have not publicly backed him."
"The backlash against Burr in North Carolina is particularly brutal too. One of the first senators to criticize his move, and instead to side with Trump, Jr., on the matter, was Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC)." Sen. Rand Paul immediately challenged Burr for not receiving the memo. McConnell says "case closed".
Others from North Carolina piling on are Reps. Mark Meadows (R-NC)–the chairman of the powerful House Freedom Caucus–and Mark Walker (R-NC), chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC),. Both out publicly condemning Burr's decision
Even Burr is not defending his act as he ran away down the hall from all reporters.
Burr has lost his f....ing mind. He can't leave soon enough to suit me. What an embarrassment!

Burr was outed on this site when he sided with a liberal Blowing Rock Town Council during the now infamous Blowing Rock Land Trade. Burr refused to meet or talk with local sportswomen and men while at the same time working with Virginia Foxx to bring the Blowing Rock Town Manager to Washington DC to testify on why the land trade was needed. Local sportswomen and men were not told there would be Congressional testimony until the night before the testimony. They were informed by Burr and Foxx Staff in a very snarky, told-you-so, fashion.
We told you so. Especially the RINOs who fled this site right after Trump was elected. THIS is why we say the things we say. For years many of us were called crazy or extreme, but on every issue we offered up on this site's palate, we have been vindicated. Tillis showed us all his true colors a few months back, and now Burr is showing his.
As I've detailed time and again, Burr, Tillis, Graham, McConnell, and 90% of Republican Senators and House members are STATUS QUO politicians. In other words, they might not necessarily take away your rights when they are in office, but they don't gain back any rights lost during liberal administrations. Therefore, the proletariat always loses and never gains rights which shows a majority of Republicans are no better than the dumpocrats.
We shouldn't be anymore mad at Burr over the Trump Jr. thing than his overt lack of engagement on the immigration thing. Where's Burr on immigration during the worst illegal alien insurgency in America's history? What's happening now is a culture ender. Our culture as we know it is OVER unless all 75 million illegal aliens are deported. Burr doesn't have, and never has had, the fortitude to keep the American culture intact. That should make you as mad or madder than the Trump Jr. thing.
RINO Richard Burr was outed on this site back in 2008. That's 11 years of Burr being outed as a RINO liberal socialist. We told you so, and now we have this dolt for another 4 years. Watch this dolt vote for ANY gun control bill that comes his way. His true colors are coming out now. North Carolina now has TWO RINO LIBERAL SOCIALIST SHEEP Senators that were identified on this site for what they really are - liberals. Where are the Watauga County Republicans who quit this site the day after Trump was elected?

Elections have consequences. RINO Richard Burr and RINO anti-gun Tillis are examples of what happens when you vote for a label without taking just a little peek at the history and actions of said politicians. Both were sending red flags up for years, but the sheeple Rethuglicans seemed zombie-like in their support for both. While Rome was burning, the sheeple were enraptured by nothing more than moderate poli-speak from Tillis and Burr. In fact, I've never heard a conservative thought from either one of them. But we get to enjoy them and their radically extremist views that fall in line with those of Democrats for 4 long years. Rome is certainly burning right now, and nothing but poli-speak from these extremists. Pol Pot and Stalin have nothing on these dolts.

Remember, I wrote Burr last year laying this whole mess at Burr's door. As chair of the Intelligence Committee he was supposed to oversee the intelligence services. If he had any competency he would have caught the corruption. Someday people in North Carolina may realize this whole mess that has torn the country apart was because of Burr's total incompetency. If I were him I would welcome McConnell's case closed and then hide out.

RINO Burr has engaged in "safe zone" politics his whole career. He stays in the realm of political issues palatable to conservatives and not threatening to liberals. Things like improving the Veterans Administration, education spending, and forming countless "research" groups to address various issues are the order of the day for Burr. These types of issues are seen as conservative in nature, but the reason they don't upset liberals is because they really do nothing in terms of restoring lost rights, freedom, and liberty to the proletariat. Absent from his website are how he plans to uphold and increase 2nd Amendment freedoms for Americans. How he plans to deport 75 million culture destroying illegal aliens who currently outcompete American citzens for everything from welfare, to medical treatment, to college scholarships, to starting businesses.
The reason these types of issues are absent from his website is because RINO Richard Burr is, you guessed it folks, a LIBERAL masquerading as a conservatives as I've said for many, many years now. You see, RINO Burr could care less about an American citizen's freedom or liberty as doing so causes liberals and some moderates to react. It's this reaction, even if only from a very vocal 10% of the population, that scares the daylights out of career politicians like Burr. He would rather do absolutely nothing in his political career if doing nothing means he gets what he wants most- re-elected. He's fooled NC voters with this tactic, safe zone politics, for many years. True conservatives called him out time and again, but because the had the Republican label, it confused many. Sort of like how the anti-Christ will deceive many when he returns to earth.
RINO Richard Burr has traded your liberty, freedom, and a limited form of government to parry favor with large corporations, other politicians, and banks. I signed up for Burr's pathetic monthly newsletter many years ago just to confirm the "safe zone" monikor bestowed upon him. Never did I see RINO Burr say ANYTHING in his monthly newsletter that was truly conservative. It was all safe, bureaucratic poli-speak designed to deceive.
Better watch Burr on the next gun control bill that comes before him. A lame duck liberal like Burr will try and pass the one thing that moderate Republicans wish would go away - the gun issue. They have to act like they support gun rights, but as the issue is more politicized by liberals each passing day, the moderate Republicans (liberals) just want that issue to go away. If passing sweeping gun control legislation helps it go away, Burr will do his duty. Count on this folks - the moderate Republicans have sold you out for years, and they soon will with gun control as well. You can feel it.
Burr has always been a disappointment. Just like the unskilled airman McCain and the notorious Paul Ryan, Burr works with corporations and banks to hammer the middle class. Try and open a corner gas station now and find out just how difficult it is for Mom and Pa America to do that. Then look at the new gas stations that open and you sill soon see they are all corporate controlled. Burr gave you this. It's barely worth mentioning that he thinks Trump Jr. should be questioned - that's what a liberal would do in the first place!!!!!! Also, do you now see how much Burr reminds you of Mitt Romney. These globalist liberals hate Trump and will take him down 1st chance.

Where is RINO Richard Burr on the immigration issue? When the illegal alien drunk driver killed that family a few years ago on Highway 105, I thought the Republicans would be all over it. Instead, Burr and gang were silent on that disaster as they are on Officer Singh, Molly Tibbits, and Kate Stinele. They just want the immigration debate to go away because it creates the very friction they hate to deal with (sound familiar). They will vote for amnesty (again) for the 75 million illegal aliens living in America so they don't have to go through the bruising fight of deporting these 75 million illegal aliens. Which, boiled down into layman's terms that even noneymouse coward can understand, means Burr chooses (again) illegal aliens over American citizens. Burr has less guts than that idiot Jimmy Carter which is saying something!!!!!
It's estimated that over the past year 1% of Honduras and El Salvador illegally entered, and now reside in the United States. Where's Burr on that crazy figure? But that's not really the figure we should be concerned with. If 1% of Honduras and El Salvador managed to immigrate over the past 8 months, then what percentage of Mexico do you think has immigrated to the United States over the past 20 years? Tens of millions. Yet, you never hear a percentage of Mexico that is in the United States because the figure would shock us. There a many villages in rural Mexico that are totally devoid of males between the ages of 18 and 50. They are all here now living off you and me!!!!
How come RINO Burr's monthly newsletter NEVER addresses this. Immigration was a central issue that helped elect Trump. RINOs still don't get it though. They feel if they can hide from these tough issues, then they might be able to eek out another election. They may be right. Be interesting to see if RINO Tillis gets re-elected or if North Carolinians will finally choose a conservative like they one who lost against Tillis last time. What was his name - Dr. Gregory ???
Conservatives on this site saw it coming. In fact we saw it across the board, from local politics all the way to the White House. Blogger, you should be proud of your bloggers here on this site. They saw much of this years ago and helped enlighten many. Take the Watauga County Commissioners as a prime example. Apart from the excellent conservative Vince Gable, the rest of the Republican Commissioners did nothing to advance freedom and liberty for the Watauga County Proletariat. Instead, they engaged in status quo politics (sound familiar) and acted Exactly like Democrats!!! They were voted out and will probably never return to power because of it. We on this site knew this many, many years ago and called it exactly as it occurred. No mind reading or crystal balls were needed, just common sense.
Watauga County Republicans who fled this site in droves right after Trump was elected, have you switched over to the Democrat Party yet or are you still mistakenly calling yourselves "conservatives."?
We told you so

In the middle of the worst illegal alien crisis in the nation's history, RINO Burr is dappering around with having Trump Jr. testify on an issue that's settled? Have the rethuglicans lost their mind? They must really hate Trump to destroy the party like this. Amazing. Surely this will cost them dearly during the next election..

14 December 2015
The Lithuanian Centre for Human Rights and young activists led the protest near the Lithuanian Ministry of Education and Science offices. With this protest, the activists wanted to encourage politicians to solve the problem of sexuality education in Lithuania. They highlighted that HIV spreads rapidly among youth and teen girls get pregnant two times more often than girls in Western Europe countries. The protest participants held up banners with messages such as: 'Ignorance doesn't protect from diseases', 'I want to know about contraception', 'I want planned parenthood'.
As data from the Statistical Department shows.. teenagers start their sexual lives on average at 16-17 years of age, but one out of five does not use any contraception at all.
The photos from the protest are here.

First Time Buyers
The property hotspots young professionals are flocking to
Young professionals are willing to pay a £71,000 premium to live in the most popular areas, and top of the list is Hove, said Lloyds Bank.
For the third year running the BN32 area is the most sought after location for young professionals buying a home in England and Wales. With neighbouring Brighton coming in as the seventh top postcode, the East Sussex coast continues to press the right buttons for the aspirational young.
Premium postcode
The average price of a home in one of the 20 most popular areas with young professionals is £735,874 compared to £664,716 in the surrounding area – 13% higher, or a difference of £71,158.
Of the top 20 areas with the most sales to young professionals, 16 are in Greater London. The highest premium paid by young professionals is in Chiswick, where the average house price of £857,792 is £370,988 (76%) higher than in the borough of Hounslow. Kilburn (£341,208) and Hampstead (£307,775) have the next highest premiums.
Looking at regions outside London; in Harborne, young professionals would pay a £102,909 (59%) premium compared with Birmingham (£277,261 v £174,353). In Didsbury, young professionals pay an average premium of £93,062 (56%) compared with Manchester as a whole – £260,057 against £166,995. In the Cotham area of Bristol these buyers would be paying an average premium of £108,591 (48%) compared with Bristol as a whole.
Lloyds Bank mortgage products director Andrew Mason said: "Aspiring young professionals are typically well qualified, in well paid jobs and tend to live in areas not far from the city centre where they work. These are also places where they can enjoy easy access to green space and a range of places to socialise.
"These buyers also don't appear to be put off by the significant premium in price to live in areas popular with young professionals."
