Future of Nursing Initiative
You expect to treat more patients for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after a snowstorm-but their efforts to clear the driveway may not be why. New research suggests that it's not the snow shoveling but the snowstorm itself that brings on an attack.
Researchers looked at hospital admissions for AMI and stroke in central Texas during a 3-year period and compared this data with weather records for the same region and time frame. They found that the number of AMIs increased within 24 hours of a rapid barometric pressure drop; the greater the pressure drop, the greater the chance of an AMI. If the pressure dropped one unit on the barometer, the risk of AMI was 10% greater in the following 24 hours. A two-unit drop equaled a 20% greater risk. The researchers say that winter is harder on the heart than other seasons because it triggers greater variations in atmospheric pressure.
Barometric pressure changes didn't influence the rate of stroke. The researchers say this finding makes sense because the coronary arteries are exposed to atmospheric pressure through breathing, but the carotid arteries are more protected.
Relation of atmospheric pressure changes and the occurrences of acute myocardial infarction and stroke, The American Journal of Cardiology, PD Houck, et al., July 1, 2005.

My hands get so so DRY and they begin to crack and peel if I wash them too much. Not sure if the water is hard at work or what. I was looking for a good hand lotion, something that didn't leave my hands feeling "greasy." I was in the mall walking to the body shop store and walked past this store and turned around and went in. Best decision I have ever made, I've never tried any of their products but I am SOLD! I bought the big tube of this because it just made more sense. The smell isn't super strong it's just enough! I love this stuff it works miracles!

It is a thick cream that works so well on my super dry skin. I applied it on my palms and feet before sleep to moisture them during sleep. It didn't purchase it because it was a gift. I don't like how it smells. I wish it could be more fragrant. It is so effective if you have a super dry palms and feet like me, but I think it would be too sticky if you don't have a very dry skin (since it specialised for dry skin). L'Occitane has more choices for normal skin though. The packaging is okay.
Despite on how much I like the effectiveness of the product, I will not repurchased it. A regular body lotion or body butter will be enough for me.

I used a sample tube nightly before bed. This product always felt incredible during and after application- like my hands were truly moisturised and pampered! However, the next morning my hands felt dry and dehydrated again. This cream didn't do anything than a cheap lotion wouldn't do. Bottom line: an overpriced cream, in a cute little tube that does only a very average job.

This was very disappointing. First, it has a very strong, cheap smell, like a drugstore, "old lady" perfume. The bad thing is that it lasts... a long time. It's very cloying. Second, it doesn't moisturize any better than a typical drugstore lotion. So, what's the point?This is a 5.2 oz. tube that costs $28 so I would expect a lot more from it.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Combination, Fair Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Green
I received this as a gift some time ago. It's a very thick cream that has a nice soft scent. I don't usually buy dedicated hand creams, and I especially wouldn't purchase one from L'Occitane given their prices, but if you have very dry hands, this might be a good choice. The consistency after you apply it is somewhat greasy, but I personally like lotions that are thick and just a bit greasy compared with the kinds that absorb instantly, feeling like you didn't put on any lotion at all. It does absorb over the course of an hour, depending of course on how much you use.
My biggest problem with this cream, though, is the packaging. It's taken me a while (over a year) to go through a whole tube despite using it multiple times a day, and in little time the label started peeling off, which looked quite sloppy. It was annoying me so I eventually just ripped the label off altogether. You can't stand the tube up, so it has to kind of lie flat wherever you keep it (which doesn't look great if you keep it on top of a desk like I do), and since it's in a toothpaste-type tube, you have to kind of roll it up to get more product out. So basically, right now it looks like this rumpled, plain metal tube with the end curled up, sitting on my desk. Not attractive! They should really pick a different format for the packaging. Based on this, even if I needed a dedicated hand cream and happened to have a gift certificate to L'Occitane, I wouldn't buy this.

I really love L'Occitane hand creams! The shea butter one soaks in quickly and moisturizes well without leaving my hands all greasy. A little bit is all that is needed to achieve this. I'd love to buy this all the time, but I'm a cheapskate so I don't. It's totally worth a splurge from time to time.

L'Occitane hand cream is a product I am never long without. I love the tiny tubes for handbags. Especially good for dry winter skin.
I wish that L'Occitane would make the HONEY hand cream a regular part of their repertoire. It smells divine. I am on one of my last tubes (this was a limited edition product) and am really sad! I like it better than the original.

I love the packaging, so stylish! Unfortunately, this just didn't deliver for me. It was greasy when first applied, but any moisture was quickly gone. Didn't smell great, either. For the price, I was disappointed. I'll stick with my cheapo Avon Moisture Therapy.

Party OutfitPosted on November 27th, 2014
Nastasia is into bondage as you all know and she happens to have a supply of bondage tape. Her friend Stephanie is going to a party and Nastasia offers to make her a tight sexy outfit out of the tape. It sounds appealing to Stephanie so Nastasia gives it a whirl. She starts at her waist and goes down to her knees. It's very tight and goes too far down according to Stephanie which will make it hard for her to dance. Nastasia stops the tape at her knees and then tells her it's time to "form" the sleeves. She wraps her elbows together and then her forearms. Stephanie realizes that her friend is up to no good. Nastasia grabs Stephanies wrists and despite protests to stop she binds them. She puts Stephanie on the ground and then proceeds to wrap the tape around her pantyhose clad feet and then she starts going up her legs. Stephanie is making quite a racket so Nastasia starts winding the tape around her mouth. Nastasia stops and Stephanie uses her toes to grab a scissors on the floor. Nastasia stops binding for a moment because she's taking her heels off as well as her socks. She takes one sock and pulls it up over Stephanie's bound wrists. She uses the other sock to tie around the top of the "mitten" she just made for Stephanie. Escape is getting further away now for poor Steph. Nastasia is satisfied she's not going anywhere so she leaves. The camera catches Stephanie using her toes and her "socked" hands to try and get a good grip on the scissors. Getting out might be tough!

Spandex Trouble – Part 2 of 2Posted on November 24th, 2014
Stacy has Nastasia right where she wants her. She's bound with tape and then Stacy shoves a huge ballgag in her mouth to shut her up. She and Hunter start gag talking and even though Hunter can't see she knows to try to inch her chair forward and Nastasia does the same. Stacy senses that Hunter is able to get more sound out of her mouth so she pulls the bag down and realizes that from sweating so much, Hunter dislodged the vet wrap. Just as Stacy uncovers her head she realizes the vet wrap needs to be pulled up. Stacy turns her back for a moment and the sweaty vet wrap slides down again. Hunter spits out the ball and begins to talk. Stacy comes right back, shoves the ball in her mouth, pulls the vet wrap up once again and then covers the whole thing with tape. She adds more tape this time over Nastasia's huge ball gag too. Now that the girls chairs are close Stacy wraps tape around their ankles together. Now they're stuck to each other but manage to get that undone. They're still bound and gagged and something has to be done. Stacy leaves the room and Nastasia goes to work in her typical fashion trying to get free. You'll be surprised when you see how hard she fights to get out of that chair. She tips it over and rolls around with it attached to her. She gets in all sorts of positions just to reach a nearby scissors. This one has a lot of action and noise. Watch them go at it!

Spandex Trouble – Part 1 of 2Posted on November 20th, 2014
Nastasia is pissed with Hunter and decides to do something about it. She grabs her forcibly and jerks her wrists behind her back. She ties them tight. She pushes Hunter over so she's on her back. Nastasia straddles her legs and ties her ankles together and just above her knees too. She sits her up and shoves a large hard ball in her mouth. Next she takes a roll of vet wrap and wraps it around Hunter's head to keep that ball stuck in there. The gag talk starts now as Hunter is bewildered. Hunter is dressed in spandex gym pants and a tight top with no bra. She's got pantyhose and heels. The heels manage to come off though during the struggle. Nastasia grabs a spandex tube which is open at both ends. She starts pulling it up over Hunters feet and up her legs. She jerks Hunter to her feet and begins pulling the bag up and over her hips and up near her chest. She pulls Hunters large and delicious tits out. Still gag talking Hunter finds the bag being pulled up to her neck. Despite her gagged protests and squirming Nastasia pulls the bag up over her head and ties the top so it doesn't slide down. Hunter is now bound, gagged and bagged! Hunter is also blessed with beautiful feet so Nastasia sits her down and begins tickling those feet. Hunter is very ticklish and despite having a ball shoved in her mouth she begins to laugh from the torment. You'll also see Nastasia smell those feet too. Nastasia steps back and is taken by surprise by Stacy. Stacy quickly starts binding Nastasia with a roll of tape. The camera flashes back to the Hunter who is leaning forward in her chair and still gag talking. You have two beautiful girls that can't be found anywhere else and everything from start to finish is done onscreen. Watch for part two for the escape attempt and you will see Nastasia struggle and do things that other models do not do in an escape attempt. She puts up more than an aggravated fight and has no fear of getting down and dirty.

Check out this latest video featuring Charlotte who happens to be Jennifer's new wedding planner.

Charlotte starts by binding Jennifer's ankles and thighs. Both girls are in pantyhose and high heeled pumps. Jennifer is a little hesitant, but hey, she's building trust! Charlotte then ties up her wrists behind her back. And the final piece, which pretty much freaks Jennifer out, is when Charlotte stuffs a big, blue ball gag into her mouth! Jennifer struggles to get free but Charlotte manages to hold her down and even pull up her shirt to expose Jennifer's nice tits. She then hops Jennifer around the room and pulls up her miniskirt too showing off Jennifer's panties underneath her pantyhose. This is some hot shit and you should download it now to check out the entire scene. These are two really popular models and both girls are very sexy and incredible desirable. Grab it!

Tape TroublePosted on November 15th, 2014
Christina has taken a break to use her cell phone when suddenly she is accosted from behind by Stacy. She's bound with tape, her mouth is stuffed and tape is sealed around her head.

She manages to find a scissors and goes to work on cutting the tape holding her wrists bound. Can she get it? Download it today and find out!
Tape PracticePosted on November 13th, 2014
Scarlet and Nastasia are friends. Scarlet knows a guy that's in the bondage business and he is looking for a female rigger. The job pays decently and since Nastasia needs the money she accepts the job. First she needs practice. Scarlet, good friend that she is, lets Nastasia practice on her. They've decided on tape to start her first lesson and with some encouragement from Scarlet she gets to work. Nastasia seems to be doing a good job so far and Scarlet is pleased. Nastasia seems to be getting in to it and she starts getting carried away She's wrapping her friend with a lot of tape. She stops to take Scarlet's ankle socks off and stuff them in her mouth. She covers them with clear plastic tape. She keeps binding Scarlet who is now not going anywhere. Nastasia you will notice picks up the pace and adds yet more tape. She winds tape around Scarlet's head to make sure those socks keep her mouth stuffed. She exposes Scarlet too. Nastasia grabs a black silk scarf and blindfolds Scarlet over her glasses. Not satisfied with that she removes the glasses and ties the scarf again to make sure that her friend sees nothing. Now, bound, gagged, blindfolded and exposed, Scarlet is stuck right where she is. I would say that Nastasia will end up getting the rigging job! There's a ton of gag talk in this one and Scarlet puts up a real fight to get free. Lots of action and struggling!

RAID 0+5 and 5+0 data recovery
RAID 0+5 and 5+0 is realized by block striping with distributed parity combined with block striping. The difference between RAID 5+0 and RAID 0+1 is that RAID 5+0 is a stripe across distributed parity RAID systems whilst RAID 5+1 is a mirror striped set with distributed parity. RAID 5+0 and 0+5 improve upon the performance of RAID 5 through the addition of RAID 0, particularly during writes. It also provides better fault tolerance than the single RAID level does, especially if configured as RAID 5+0.
Controller Requirements: specialized hardware controller
Hard Disk Requirements: number of discs is set by two integer numbers, one of them is 2 or higher and the second one is 3 or higher, minimum number of discs is 6, maximum is set by controller, all the discs should be the same size.
Array Capacity: the same as RAID 0+3 and 3+0
Storage Efficiency: the same as RAID 0+3 and 3+0
Fault tolerance: the same as RAID 0+3 and 3+0
Availability: very good
Degradation and rebuilding: fair good for RAID 5+0 and worse for RAID 0+5
Random read performance: very good
Random write performance: poor because of dual parity overhead and complexity
Sequential read performance: very good
Sequential write performance: good

CompetentRoofer is the Government-licenced Competent Person Scheme that allows professional roofing contractors to self-certify that their roof refurbishment work complies with Building Regulations within England and Wales. The scheme encompasses all roofing types for domestic, industrial and commercial properties and is open to all roofing contractors to apply.
If 50% or more of your roof needs to be replaced, then under the Building Regulations, your Local Authority needs to be notified a minimum of 48 hours before work commences. If you don't then you risk a fine of up to £5,000, plus the cost of putting the work right if it isn't up to the required standards.
By using a CompetentRoofer member, property owners will save not only time and money but will have the added reassurance that the work carried out meets the exacting standards of the Building Regulations.
CompetentRoofer has been the long term aspiration of the Roofing Industry and is fully supported by associations, manufacturers, service providers and merchants.
CompetentRoofer Limited is growing and needs to take on more freelance surveyors to handle the increasing workload. We urgently require surveyors for central Yorkshire, the Midlands and the South West.
This year the NHIC Merit Award for Services to Self-Assessment was awarded to Jackson Jackson & Sons, a roofing contractor based in Rochdale who was an early adopter of the scheme when it launched in 2011.
Man-made roosts can provide stable micro-climates for bats. Loss of natural roosts has increased the importance of man-made structures for bats to the point that artificial roosts such as those provided by roofs are becoming essential in the survival of many bat species.

Arizona Cardinals
NFL analyst: Arizona Cardinals may need 11 wins to reach the playoffs
Only three times in their Arizona tenure have the Arizona Cardinals finished with a record that was above the .500 mark.
In 1998, they finished 9-7 and earned an NFC Wild Card spot.
In 2008, they finished 9-7 and won the NFC West.
In 2009, they finished 10-6 and won the NFC West.
Here in 2013, the Cardinals are 7-5 with four games to play, meaning a winning record is well within reach.
But how many wins does the team need to finish with if it expects to reach the postseason? Will nine be enough? How about 10? Do they need to win out and reach 11?
"It's getting close," Fox NFL analyst Daryl Johnston told Doug and Wolf Tuesday when asked if the Cards may have to go undefeated the rest of the way.
Johnson said the NFC South is a concern for the Cardinals, as both the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints are two games ahead of the Cardinals. Arizona has the tiebreaker over the Panthers but not the Saints, but either way has a lot of work to do if they are to pass either team.
Then, in the Cards' own division, the 8-4 San Francisco 49ers have the lead for the final postseason spot. Arizona faces off with the 49ers at University of Phoenix Stadium in Week 17, but would likely need to finish a game ahead of San Francisco due to tiebreakers.
In other words, the Cardinals appear to have little margin for error.
"I think we could have a situation that we've seen before, where we've got a Wild Card team with a better record than a division winner doesn't make it into the playoffs," he said. "And we've seen that happen a couple of times recently.
"At this point, they could have to. Eleven and five, I'd be shocked to see a team not get in at 11-5, but the tough part for them is how difficult their schedule is down the stretch."
Johnston noted that 10 wins is generally looked at as enough to reach the playoffs, but that just may not be the case this season. That said, 11 wins is still mathematically possible for the Cardinals.
"Obviously 11-5 gives you the great opportunity, and that would mean some huge wins for Arizona down the stretch against divisional opponents," Johnston added.
The Cardinals play the first of three games against NFC West foes Sunday when they host the St. Louis Rams at University of Phoenix Stadium. Kickoff is set for 2:25 p.m. and the game can be heard on Arizona Sports 620 and News-Talk 92.3 KTAR.

1. Cloud and Mobility - A Match Made in Heaven....
Cloud computing is providing organizations with low-cost applications and storage, making it easier to manage the growing amount of information. Increased adoption of cloud-based systems (IaaS, SaaS, PaaS and everything else) in the enterprise will pave a way for a faster pace of adoption and acceptance of the cloud-based back end for mobile devices. With increased use of smartphones, tablets in enterprise (BlackBerry, Nexus, Surface, etc.), increased acceptance of BYOD, more and more business information and data will be moved outside the firewall. The trend will fuel the use of cloud infrastructure for mobile applications, and platform and infrastructure including storage. It's a no-brainer. Private mobile cloud, private mobile app stores, standalone enterprise class mobile app stores, etc., will start taking shape. The mobile app and platform ecosystem will evolve.The growth will, however, also depend on the ability of SaaS and PaaS vendors to facelift their applications and platforms for the mobile devices.
2. Mobility - A disrupter of traditional Unified Communication
Mobility, as we all know, is redefining the workplace as the boundaries blur between personal and professional life, home and office, business travel and in-office. Users want a seamless mobility experience that allows them to work anytime and anywhere, with the same productivity and performance they would get in a traditional corporate office.
From the enterprise perspective, management wants to minimize the cost of office space, increase employee productivity, allow flexibility to work from home and keep people in the field. From that perspective, the 3CS (Communication, Collaboration, Content and Social) or in other words Unified Communication / messaging and collaboration needs to redefine the boundary from the traditional office work space and multiple end points (PC, Laptops, Phone, Desk Phone, Mobile, etc.) to the mobile environment and potentially single end points.
Mobility is a disrupter simply because mobility is indirectly simplifying the core unified communication problem - the problem of "Multiple communication methods (Voice, Chat, Email, IM etc) on multiple channels (Mobile, Fixed line, Email system, Chat system, Wi-Fi, voice mail, multiple mail boxes, etc.) delivered to multiple devices (PC, Laptop, mobile, Internet) to a single person / identity" TO a slightly simpler "Multiple communication methods on multiple channels delivered to a single device to a single personal / identity". Unification of end point device is the centerpoint.
Traditional UC products will have to provide solutions centered mainly around FMC (Fixed mobile Convergence), Voice over WI-FI, mobile traffic redirection to enterprise telephony systems, and single end point delivery system for Voice, Video, Email and IM ) onto a device (with a single identity - phone no / email. Some of the challenges that mobility offers remain common - be it unified communications or device management. Needless to say that the a simple problem statement doesn't necessarily mean easy solution. The solution perspective has to change. The new MS surface and blackberry launches in 2013 should give us some clues on what is going to come next.
In my opinion, Mobility and UC will converge with mobility already serving many of the use cases for Unified communications problem with cloud serving as the ubiquitous necessity for both. Ultimately, it will be the death of the so called traditional "Unified Communication" of the past. Alternatively, it may transform itself into a new avatar- "Mobile Unified Communication" in a much bigger way in 2013 and 2014....
3. Device Diversity plays the role of necessary evil
Form factor, platform, OS and device variety will pose a greater challenge in terms of interoperability, management, deployment and updates and everything else..... Companies will have to forego traditional MDM - for device management and instead turn to advanced form of device management (MDM) and sophiscated and more secured application and data management capabilities in the form of MAM, MEAP, MIM (Mobile Information Management ) - Citrix Share, HyperDrive, VMWare Octopus, Citrix Fileshare, Dropbox, Google Drive etc). This will also fuel eco-system consolidation within submarkets such as MDM, MAM, MEAM, TEM etc.
4. Sweet Spot for SaaS Suppliers
SaaS vendors are perfectly positioned to provide mobile versions of their services for popular mobile browsers and devices. This will facilitate and simplify the use of mobile apps in the enterprise and help manage issues related to application and data management to a great extent. Imagine an organisation that hs already embraced BYOD, and few of its applications are already in the cloud - performance management, expense management, travel management, ERP, Sales force automation to name a few, and the business wants the applications to be available on the mobile devices.... The CIO has no choice... since it is practically not possible to custom build the apps for the device and not easy to move from a SaaS model to a on-premise model... Matter of the fact is that CIOs have no choice but to go with it if the application is supported on mobile OR ask the SaaS vendor to provide the support for the specific application in question for a win-win situation. This only will help the CIO's support the business and address the concerns of flexibility, agility, mobility, scalability, and speed of implementation without a significant compromise - which is otherwise not possible.
5. Security Considerations - Shift from Device / infrastructure to Information and Data.
Mobility has practically removed the traditional boundaries of the enterprise, corporate network and secured / wired infrastructure which in turn has made it vulnerable to numerous (and real) threats from enterprise information security perspective. With the advent of BYOD, device centric approach to solve security challanges is not enough. IT departments will have to move to multiple levels of security - from device level to information level via advanced forms of MDM (device management) and MAM / MIM (Mobile Application and Mobile Information / Data Management). The security concerns are no longer be a IT security department issue but a more strategic issue and has to be dealt in a holistic manner.
Not only the security strategy will have to unique to a specific company / industry but should encompass technical, organizational, and regulatory factors. These considerations will need to be taken care of at the design level itself with a clear focus on information centric security management and defined much earlier in the game plan. In the absence of guidelines, i hope that industry consortiums and government agencies will start discussing the most sensitive areas and create guidelines for security needs rather than each company and industry defining its policy. This i believe will help everyone.
6. Decrease in Total Cost of Ownership
Enterprise Mobility will turn out to be a game changer in the troubled financial times as it will bring down the overall cost of ownership to the enterprise. Traditional logic of economies of scale has defied this so far as enterprise customers (read 'Scale') are charged a premium fee. With increased consumerization in the enterprise, cost to an enterprise user of mobility services should reduce as the differentiation of two types of consumers (enterprise VS retail) disappears.
Case in point is RIM - who is hoped to bring down the overall cost of ownership as they turn their focus to consumerisaton in the interest of everyone (and more for them to regain lost market share to apples and androids)... Only time will tell in 2013...
Increased data usage will shift the focus to better archiving and optimization of storage indirectly addressing the data security aspects.
7. Ecosystem Consolidation
Mergers and acquisitions was seen in 2011, 2012 in the cloud application management space when big players acquired niche players with cloud enabler and management products. The next few years will see the same trend in mobile application management space. Citrix acquisition of zenprise is an indicator of the potential future. The MAM (Mobile Application Management), MEM (Mobile Enterprise Management), MEAP (Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms) will have the same fate for all the good reasons and big players are already in the foray with various ties already in place.
8. Buy Your Own Application - Future
Buy your own application is a futuristic thing but it will pick up once the data / information is isolated from application layer and users are able to use the data using their preferred application for viewing. One example is the the choice of email client (view) for emails (data).
Cultural, regulatory, environmental, political and economic (CREPE) conditions over the past decade are creating cross-industry solution spaces that require processes and technologies from both the Internet of Things (IoT), and Data Management and Analytics (DMA). These solution spaces are evolving into Sensor Analytics Ecosystems (SAE) that represent significant new opportunities for organizations of all types. Public Utilities throughout the world, providing electricity, natural gas and water, are pursuing SmartGrid initiatives that represent one of the more mature examples of SAE. We have s...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

You've got to hand it to the Obama Administration: They've taken an issue (a flood of illegal aliens) that was most heavily impacting the border states, and found a way to piss off pretty much the entire nation.
As Senator Jeff Sessions noted: "The crisis on our border is the direct and predictable result of President Obama's sustained effort to undermine America's immigration laws. As the president's previous director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), John Sandweg recently acknowledged: "if you are a run-of-the-mill immigrant here illegally, your odds of getting deported are close to zero." Enforcement has collapsed." Sessions further notes that Obama's $3.7 billion request does not ask for enhanced deportation authority.
The leftist ideologues who form the core of the administration evidently never gave up their love of forced busing, since they seem to want to forcibly bus illegal aliens into every state (or perhaps fly them to Alaska and Hawaii).
They're certainly pissing off people in Arizona, as well as elsewhere. "Federal officials have been dumping illegal immigrants in places like Arizona, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Illinois without telling state and local officials beforehand and then demanding the states use their limited resources to care for the illegal immigrants."
Even Obama's fellow Democrats in Texas are saying he should visit the border. Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke "added that he has been surprised by the anger he has heard toward the immigrants from many of his El Paso constituents, who "feel like we can't take care of everyone, and these children and their families are gaming the system.'"
And if Hispanic constituents in heavily Democratic El Paso are pissed off, how do you think people in other parts of the country feel about illegal aliens being force bused into their neighborhoods?
And Obama has done absolutely nothing to complete the construction of the already authorized 700 miles of border fence. Despite the fact that where border fences have been completed, illegal alien crossings are down 95%.
But doing that might keep out the illegal alien felons Obama so seems to love. Like the Mexican national who had already been deported four times being charged with molesting a 9-year old. Evidently molesting our children is one of those jobs Americans won't do…
And Americans know who is to blame for the problem: "Nearly half of U.S. voters believe the Obama administration has prompted the flood of illegal immigrant children at the border, and most want them sent back home right away."
If this is a scheme to panic Republicans into passing illegal alien amnesty, it seems to have backfired spectacularly.
No wonder Democrats are nervous. 2014 is shaping up an awful lot like 2010, if not worse…
More news from inside the handbasket, including the dust-up in Gaza and the illegal alien surge at the border:

USA Today reporter Susan Page wonders why, despite the surge of illegal aliens across our border, Obama would continue to attend lavish fundraisers rather than visit the border, calling the decision "Obama's Katrina moment." (Even Democratic Texas congressman Henry Cuellar expressed the same concern.)
This comparison is deeply unfair.
To George W. Bush.
After all, Bush didn't:
Katrina was a natural disaster. The illegal alien surge is a crisis of Obama's own making for refusing to enforce existing border control laws and dangling a Dream Act amnesty to lure illegal alien children to cross the border.
Enjoy Independence Day tomorrow. In the meantime, here's another Texas vs. California roundup:
"San Bernardino, California, said that to exit bankruptcy it must terminate a union contract that pays an average annual salary of $190,000 to each of its top 40 firefighters," according to an article in Bloomberg. That's just salary. Firefighters receive the generous "3 percent at 50″ retirement package that allows them to retire with 90 percent of their final years' pay at age 50. And there are lots of pension-spiking gimmicks and other benefits on top of that.
"These cities are run for the benefit of those who work there. Public services are a side matter at best."
Toyota's move to Texas is a high-profile relocation, but Texas has been used to adding — and filling — new jobs at a superlative pace. The state added more than 1.9 million new jobs over the period from December 1999 to April 2014, more than 35 percent of the entire nation's total for that 15-year period, noted Michael Cox, an economics professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. And Texas had an unemployment rate of just 5.1 percent in May, 16th-lowest in the United States.
Meanwhile, Cox noted, Texas's median wages are 28th-highest in the nation; and they rank 8th-highest after adjusting for taxes and prices. Texas schools rank 3rd, he said, after adjusting for variations in student demographics, a raw statistic which places Texas 28th in the nation.
"We're able to accomplish all this and more because the business environment in our state is largely competitive, and free markets solve problems," Cox told me. "Texas is a meritocracy, where incentives still work to produce good results."
Drive almost anywhere in the vast Lone Star State and you will see evidence of the "Texas miracle" economy that policymakers like Gov. Rick Perry can't quit talking about….
This hot economy, politicians say, is the direct result of their zealous opposition to over-regulation, greedy trial lawyers and profligate government spending. Perry now regularly recruits companies from other states, telling them the grass is greener here. And his likely successor, Attorney General Greg Abbott, has made keeping it that way his campaign mantra.
It's hard to argue with the job creation numbers they tout. Since 2003, a third of the net new jobs created in the United States were in Texas. And there are real people in those jobs, people with families to feed.
But the piece also notes that Texas has led the nation in worker fatalities for seven of the last ten years. I'm not going to get into the details of worker compensation that make up the bulk of the piece, and it is quite possible there is some room for improvement in worker safety. But I do want to note that, as the second largest state in the union, and the one with the biggest oil and gas industry, it's not terribly surprising that Texas would have the largest number of fatalities, since oil and gas has a fairly high fatality rate (though not injury rate) compared to other industries (see page 14 here).
Believe it or not, there seem to be a few actual glimmers of sanity in California in the latest roundup:
Polling keeps finding a majority in favor of vague "immigration reform" because of the way the questions are asked.
Hint: Any question that asks "Do you support comprehensive immigration reform including enforcement…" is already a lie, since we know that the Obama Administration has no intention of enforcing existing immigration laws.
Things immigration polls don't ask:
These are the things liberal MSM pollsters refrain from asking because they know they won't like the public's answers, and it won't help their push to scare Republicans into passing illegal alien amnesty.
Indeed, 72% of those polled last year "said they support reducing the illegal immigrant population by requiring employers to check workers' legal status, fortifying the border, and getting the cooperation of local police."
But as an "enforcement first" approach appears to be off the table until Obama leaves office, the only responsible thing for Republicans to do is refrain from passing any immigration "reform" until such time as the White House is occupied by someone willing to actually obey the law.
Pretty much everyone on both sides of the mediasphere/punditocracy was shocked by last night's defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor by David Brat.
Here's a quick roundup on thoughts and reactions to Cantor's defeat:
The media will play up Cantor's loss by claiming it was about immigration. They will be wrong, but it will be useful for the rest of us. Immigration reform is now DOA in the House of Representatives thanks to David Brat.
But Cantor really did not lose because of immigration alone. Immigration was the surface reason that galvanized the opposition to Cantor, but the opposition could not have been galvanized with this issue had Cantor been a better congressman these past few years.
He and his staff have repeatedly antagonized conservatives. One conservative recently told me that Cantor's staff were the "biggest bunch of a**holes on the Hill." An establishment consultant who backed Cantor actually agreed with this assessment. That attitude moved with Cantor staffers to K Street, the NRSC, and elsewhere generating ill will toward them and Cantor. Many of them were perceived to still be assisting Cantor in other capacities. After Cantor's loss tonight, I got a high volume of emails from excited conservatives, but also more than a handful of emails from those with establishment Republican leanings all expressing variations on "good riddance."
Cantor's constituent services moved more toward focusing on running the Republican House majority than his congressional district. K Street, the den of Washington lobbyists, became his chief constituency.
"Cantor lost his race because he was running for Speaker of the House of Representatives while his constituents wanted a congressman."
The American Conservative Union has long been a mouthpiece of the Republican Establishment and in the past few years has basically been K-Street's conservatives. Their scorecard reflects the Republican-ness of a member of congress far more than the conservativeness of a member of congress. Just consider that Mitch McConnell was considered more conservative in 2012 than either Jim DeMint or Tom Coburn.
In contrast to the American Conservative Union, Heritage Action for America takes a more comprehensive approach to its scorecard, it does not try to help Republican leadership look good, and is a better barometer of a congressman's conservativeness. The ACU had Eric Cantor at a 95%. Heritage Action for America has him at 53%.
Republican consultants are really pissed they've invested all this time in ass kissing staffers who suddenly aren't powerful.
— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 11, 2014
Because [Cantor] didn't have to worry too much about getting re-elected every two years, his political ambition was channeled into rising through the hierarchy of the House leadership. Rise he did, all the way up to the #2 spot, and he was waiting in the wings to become Speaker of the House.
The result was that Cantor's real constituency wasn't the folks back home. His constituency was the Republican leadership and the Republican establishment. That's who he really answered to.
Guess what? Folks in the seventh district figured that out.
That, ladies and gentlemen, was Eric Cantor: the soul of an establishment machine politician, with the "messaging" of the small-government conservatives grafted uneasily on top of it.
So yes, you can now tear up all those articles pronouncing the death of the Tea Party movement, because this is the essence of what the Tea Party is about: letting the establishment know that they have to do more than offer lip service to a small-government agenda, that we expect them to actually mean it. Or as Dave Brat put it in one of his frenzied post-victory interviews, "the problem with the Republican principles is that nobody follows them."
I would have settled for his challenger, Dave Brat, getting more than 40%. I was all ready to (legitimately) spin that as a warning shot across Cantor's bow. Instead, Brat went and actually beat Cantor–decisively, by 10 points, 55% to 45%. He and his campaign manager Zachary Werrell obviously ran a very effective race with minimal resources–against Cantor's millions. Independent anti-Cantor actors like the We Deserve Better group — and various local conspiracies we don't even know about — probably played a role as well.
But the main issue in the race was immigration. It's what Brat emphasized, and what his supporters in the right wing media (Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Mark Levin) emphasized. It's the charge Cantor defended against—by conceding the issue and posing as a staunch amnesty opponent. But Cantor had signed onto the GOP's pro-amnesty "principles" and endorsed a poll-tested but irresponsibly sweeping amnesty for children (a "founding principle" of the country, he said). Brat opposed all this, even as illegal immigrant children were surging across the border in search of a Cantor-style deal.
Brat won this immigration debate. Cantor lost. It's basically that simple.
Kaus also notes that it puts a stake in the heart of MSM "Republicans are really OK with amnesty" BS.
Those conservatives, suddenly smelling blood in the water, might now be emboldened to push for a wholesale change in leadership—ousting Boehner and McCarthy in this November's conference elections, and entering the next Congress with a new top three.
"It should frighten everyone in leadership," one conservative House Republican, who exchanged text messages on condition of anonymity, said shortly after Cantor's defeat was official. "They haven't been conservative enough. We've told them that for 3 years. They wouldn't listen."
The GOP lawmaker added: "Maybe they will listen now."
Tonight is primary night in Virginia, and in Virginia's 7th congressional district, and with 75% of districts reporting, House Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor is losing to underfunded tea Party challenger David Brat by about 56% to 44%.
Cantor used to be a reliable conservative, but the overwhelming issue in this race was Cantor's support for the thin "Dream Act" wedge of illegal alien amnesty. Republican voters, blue collar workers and Americans in general have stated over and over again they're opposed to illegal alien amnesty, but Democrats, big business lobbyists, certain Hispanic groups and squishy establishment GOP moderates keep pushing it.
Attention all Republican office holders everywhere: Supporting illegal alien amnesty is a career-ending move.
Also, it appears that reports of the Tea Party's death have been greatly exaggerated…
Dear @SpeakerBoehner: Look at what's happening to Eric Cantor tonight. This is the fate of all GOP leadership if you keep pushing #Amnesty.

"Wonderful Place with a wonderful view on top of Limassol"
We sadly only had a very short stay at this amazing place. George's pictures really show it all: Busy Limassol is at your feet, one has the most magnificient view all over the town and the nicest sunsets to go with it.
Sunset View is spacious, extraordinarily well kept, nicely designed and cosy as a quiet retreat, yet close to it all. All the amenities were perfect, as the place is truly fully equipped with whatever one may desire in a holiday home.
With the private pool (by the way: extremely well kept, again) in the center of it all, one should be aware that there is no way avoiding the pool - which we very much enjoyed.
We recommend having a car, and it does need a good map or a GPS to find it first - in our case the owner came to pick us up, which we very much appreciated. Once we had been there, it really was quite easy the next time.
If ever in Limassol again, we will surely try to book our stay here again, and we can highly recommend it to couples or small families. Very good value, thank you George!
Dear guests,
I am glad you had an amazing time at "Sunset view" home and you enjoyed the views, the private swimming pool and the tranquility of the place. You are always welcome to stay at "Sunset view". Looking forward to welcoming you back.
