The title of this post alone probably deserves a few laughs, raised eyebrows, and a few "WTF" moments.I put the title of this post in quotations because, well simply put, someone actually told me that before. I can totally respect someone for admitting when they make a mistake or mixing up names, but saying you "read documentaries" is an unforgivable statement.
This story begins with my adventures in dating.The dating pool of eligible black men contains an array of men with various professions and aspirations. I've gone out on dates with scientists, aspiring doctors, models, singers, jazz musicians,mechanics, bartenders, computer analysts, military men, (quite a few since I lived near Fort Carson during freshmen year), and I'm always being hit on by aspiring rappers. As long as I'm writing about hip-hop, it's inevitable to think that rappers wouldn't try getting at me. Usually they find me on twitter or Facebook in hopes of getting their music out there, but if their rhymes suck then I don't bother trying to promote their music.
I'm kind of getting over dating rappers (I've had ex's in the past who dreamed of being the next rap superstar) and I don't have ambitions of being on the next season of Basketball Wives. This entire fascination with snagging an NBA or NFL man is silly and overrated. Not to say that women dating/married to professional athletes don't genuinely love there men; some of those women sincerely love there men and aren't just chasing after the paper. I think Lala and Carmelo truly care about each other and she isn't a gold digger. She had her own career and life before she met Carmelo. But some of those other chicks…are they really in it for love?
Watching Basketball Wives is one of my guilty pleasures, but I can honestly say I don' t think a lot of those women seriously stay with those men for their looks and personality. Half them chicks on that show aren't even married anymore and not an actual basketball wife. Evelyn is engaged to Ochocinco and she is now going to be a football wife, but I wonder how long that will even last. It has to somewhat be about the money and I think the men know that.
You may ask, well how do I know this? I had the chance to personally get to know someone who just got drafted to the Broncos and was rolling in an insane amount of money. I've never been the type of chick to chase after a man for his money because I'd rather just be successful and attain wealth on my own. There isn't anything wrong with being an independent woman, you just have to put things into balance and when the time is right let a man genuinely take care of you. When I'm at that point where I'm out on my own, in my career, and ready to seriously approach the dating pool; then I'll be open to the idea of a man bringing financial support to the table.
The sad thing is that some chicks don't bother trying to start their own career and just expect a man to take care of them entirely. Most of those men are usually blinded by their beauty and don't care that the woman is just a gold digger. The NFL player I was talking to was actually caught off guard and disappointed that I wasn't falling all over him because of his bank account. I was open to getting to know him but the moment he preceded to say "I read documentaries" and then followed that with further more jibberish; I was turned off. A lot of females I talked to about the situation thought I was making a dumb decision. I had the chance to be with a 6'6" NFL player with a huge house, okay on the eyes, and a bank account that was well into six figures; but I turned him down.
I could have easily kept talking to him on web cam and chatting it up; he even invited me over to his house to cook dinner(and probably more judging the compliments he kept giving me.) But I'm not attracted to someone based off their wealth and status. He swore that he read documentaries and when I corrected him, he said I was the one that was stupid. Wow, really? That was my first and last time ever getting mixed up with an NFL player. Some of the rappers may be ignorant, but at least most of them know the difference between a documentary and a biography.
It wasn't just the fact that guy said he like to "read documentaries", it was his attitude that he was the hottest guy in the world and I should flaunt over him. I don't care how much money you have and if you are an NFL Bronco player; it takes more than a bank account to catch my attention. The worst part about dating is the guys out there who have all that stuff and those lame guys with the really nice cars, but they are so unattractive. If I'm not sexually attracted to you and not turned on by your personality, then your nice car doesn't make you look any better up close. That money should be invested in a cool personality, but somethings in life you just can't by. And when your not driving around in your fancy car trying to pick up chicks you can't really get, then you can go home and read documentaries. SMH…what a mess!

Norway's Response to the Holocaust
Norway's Response to the Holocaust
Norway's Response to the Holocaust – a historical perspective
by Samuel Abrahamsen
This study – sponsored by Thanks to Scandinavia, a New York organization devoted to documenting and recognizing rescue efforts in Nordic countries during the Holocaust – focuses on the fate of Norway's Jews during World War II, of whom more than 50 percent were saved. Based on careful research in Norway, Great Britain, the United States, and Israel, Abrahamsen explores German efforts to nazify Norway, cooperation by the Norwegian bureaucracy and police in the persecution and deportation of Jews, and efforts by the Norwegian Resistance to save Jews. Contrary to Johan Vogt's claim in Det store brennoffer (1966; The Holocaust) that Norwegians were spectators and indifferent to the persecution of the Jews (14-15), Abrahamsen emphasizes the actions of the Norwegian Resistance and of hundreds of Norwegians in helping a majority of intended Jewish victims escape to Sweden.
As the story is little known, it bears telling here. In April 1940, when the Nazis invaded, Norway was home to about 1600 Jews, including two hundred stateless refugees recently arrived from Central Europe. Norway had enacted severe restrictions on refugee immigration, entrance of a person (an alien) into a new country for the purpose of establishing permanent residence, during the 1930s, which continued in force up to the time of the invasion. Motives for immigration, like those for migration generally, are often economic, although religious or political factors may be very important. Jews comprised a tiny portion of Norway's citizens, only about .05 percent. Half the Jewish population lived in Oslo, with another smaller center of Jewish residence in Trondheim. During World War II, Abrahamsen estimates that 763 of these 1600 Jews were arrested, deported by ship to Stettin, and then sent by cattle cars to Auschwitz. All but 24 of the 763 perished. More than 800 Jews escaped their Nazi/Quisling pursuers, however, and were brought by the Resistance across difficult terrain and winter conditions to Sweden, mostly during a period of mass rescue in October-December 1942. A special organization, the Carl Fredriksen Transport Organization, ran two trucks five evenings weekly to the border during this period. Jews then crossed into Sweden on foot.
Throughout his narrative, Abrahamsen describes how German SS officials, Vidkun Quisling's National Union party, and Norwegian state police forces cooperated in implementing Nazi anti-Jewish policy. Norwegian authorities began applying the policies to Norway in early 1942; they used lists of the established Evangelical Lutheran Church to assess Aryan descent and registered all Jews in the country. Initially, Jews were removed from the public service and professions and many Jewish-owned stores were confiscated. Jews were arrested, interned in camps, tortured, and a few were killed. Then, without warning, on 25/26 October 1942, and again on 25/26 November 1942, Norwegian authorities (acting under Nazi orders) attempted to round up all Jews in mass arrests–first men, then women and children–to expropriate their property and to deport them to the continent.
Such actions took place in a nation where the established Lutheran church was highly influential, where traditional religious and economic anti-Semitism were real, and from which Jews had been barred constitutionally from entry until the mid-nineteenth century. According to Abrahamsen, many Norwegians appear to have been indifferent to Jews, perhaps viewing them as outside their moral universe. Some were hostile. Nonetheless, few Norwegians responded positively to the vulgar racial appeals of Quisling's National Union party, and most Norwegians were strongly opposed to the imposition of Nazi rule and coordination. In the face of threats of severe punishment, many engaged in heroic rescue actions in late 1942, warned, sheltered, and assisted Jews, and thereby enabled many to reach Sweden safely.
Norwegian rescuers responded to no civil directive from the Home Front to assist Jews. Nor did the Norwegian Government-in-Exile in London issue any special appeal. Apparently, concerted Norwegian opposition was initially aroused by German efforts to Nazify Norwegian institutions during 1940-1941. The brutal treatment of Jews in late 1942 then stirred many to additional resistance and action on behalf of Jews. The Lutheran Church played a key role in generating resistance, first against nazification efforts, then against the treatment of Jews. On 10 November 1942, after the first mass round-up, the Lutheran bishops in a letter to Quisling openly protested the arrests and deportations, arguing that Jews had had a legal right to live in Norway for ninety-one years and should be protected by law. Failure to do so violated the Christian commandment
Then on 15 and 22 November, Lutheran clergy read this letter from church pulpits throughout the country. Hence, the rescuers did not wait for special directives from the Home Front or abroad but acted independently with moral courage, spurred on by church actions. Jews were hidden in private homes and in hospitals. Rescuers provided food, clothing, money, documents, direct assistance, and transport.
While Jews who had earlier been interned in camps or were caught in the police sweeps were deported, many Jews who were warned and aided by rescuers made it to Sweden. One witness was Mrs. Henrietta Samuel, wife of Norway's chief rabbi. Julius Isak Samuel (who died in Auschwitz) testified at the Eichmann trial how she and her three children were brought to safety, hidden first outside Oslo in a private home, then taken by truck in a large group to the Swedish border. Leon Bodd, from Trondheim, recalled how he was hidden by the Home Front in Oslo's Lovisenbery Hospital, then transported to the border. A group of fourteen refugee children who had arrived at Oslo's Jewish Children's Hospital in 1938-39 were gathered up by Resistance members one night before the November roundup and taken to Sweden.
Rescue of a bare majority of Norway's Jews, therefore, was largely possible because of several factors: Norwegian and Lutheran Church resistance to Nazi rule, the benevolent policy of nearby neutral Sweden, and the relatively small number of people to be saved. The Norwegian Government-in-Exile retained the mantle of legitimate national authority in Norway, the Lutheran Church accepted disestablishment rather than support the Nazis, and Church leaders spoke sharply, if belatedly against Nazi treatment of the Jews–yet more sharply than many church authorities elsewhere. In addition, some members of the Resistance had infiltrated the police and were able to warn many Jews before the late November arrests and then assist them. The small number of Jews in Norway had also not been segregated from the populace in ghettos or marked off as outcasts by yellow stars and placed under rule by a Judenrat. Still, it should be emphasized that public opposition and resistance to Nazi Jewish policy was minimal until after the first roundup and, while neither specially concentrated or organized, a large minority of the Jews were arrested by the Nazis and their Norwegian henchmen and gassed at Auschwitz.
Abrahamsen's analysis provides extensive information about Nazi persecution and deportation of the Jews, the role of varied SS officers and Norwegian political and police agencies in implementing the Final Solution in Norway, and the broad dynamics of Norwegian resistance. The book's key contribution is in telling the tale. A bit disappointingly, though, the voices of resisters are absent from Norway's Response and there is insufficient exploration of their motives and outlooks. Abrahamsen conducted no interviews with surviving Resistance members nor made any effort to place their behavior in the context of recent studies of rescuers in Poland, France, and Denmark, which have probed the political, religious, and humanitarian roots of engagement in rescue action.
Additionally, this reader believes it would have been instructive to compare Norway's experience with that of other nations under Nazi control. Norway belongs to a category of countries, including Denmark, France, Poland, and others, where national resistance forces organized rescue action during the Holocaust–at different times and with divergent outcomes. In Norway, which the Germans governed tightly for strategic reasons, where a Quisling regime existed, and where police collaborated in the attempted roundups of Jews in late 1942, rescue action was stirred earliest in Europe and produced the salutary Healthy, beneficial but mixed results Abrahamsen describes. In Denmark, where Nazi rule was initially much looser than in Norway, where no Quisling regime existed, and where–when the Germans sought to arrest Jews in October 1943–the police worked closely with the Resistance, rescue action helped save more than 95 percent of Denmark's seventy-eight hundred Jews, despite a lengthier, more difficult sea route to Sweden. Such comparison would highlight key factors that shaped the fate of Jews in these nations, including direct German control and administrative collaboration, as well as the strength of national resistance.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The Washington Redskins (3-7) are the worst football team in the worst division in the NFL. Let that sentence soak in for a moment.
When you're 3-7, it's everybody's fault. The quarterback. The defense. The play calling. The head coach. Special teams. Whatever. Everyone who watches this team could write a 5,000 word essay on the mess 2013 has morphed into.
So I thought I'd alert your attention to something that happened off the field Sunday in Philadelphia.
If you didn't watch Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Eagles, and only heard Robert Griffin III's press conference, you wouldn't have known the Redskins were dominated for 50 minutes of the football game. Smug and upbeat in front of the podium, RGIII reiterated how proud he was of his team for a valiant fourth quarter effort.
"For us to claw back the way we did -- it sounds cliche and we always talk about character. The guys in that locker room are family. And they fought hard," said Griffin. I hope this isn't really what he's telling his teammates inside the locker room. They can't be buying into that cookie-cutter message anymore.
More tellingly, were Griffin's retorts when reporters pressed him about his shaky performance in Philadelphia (this may have been the most inaccurate game of his career). Instantaneous and repetitive, RGIII was not shy as to why the offense sputtered: the coaching staff.
RGIII said the Eagles seemed, "to know what was coming, before it was coming."
Later, to be clear, Griffin added, "Like I said, you've gotta' give credit where credit is due to Philly. They did a good job of scheming us up."
And my favorite from the Redskins quarterback: "We're the players. We have to make the plays work."
It may have been indirect shots, but you better believe Mike Shanahan is fuming hearing what his hand-picked quarterback said post game. I'll be the first to say I wish Griffin would blame himself for a loss. It would've been refreshing. But I've realized this kind of behavior shouldn't come as a surprise from him. After 20-years of horrendous quarterbacking, his worth to the future of the Redskins is astronomical in size.
Think of it this way...Let's say Channel 9 traded three first round picks to make me the next Jim Rome. Or Scott Van Pelt. Whatever floats your boat. My first year with Channel 9 I completely flip the ratings our way for the first time in forever. The people hail that I'm a prodigy destined for greatness. Then, for a variety of reasons, things suddenly go to hell in year two. As a young star, why would I point the finger on myself? I'd blame the news director. I'd blame producers. When we were winning, it was all because of me. All of you were losers before me.
That's why Griffin has the Shanahan's handcuffed. Their two years before Griffin were such a disaster -- inheriting a bad roster or not -- that it makes doubting the staff effortless at this point. Now with a 3-7 record, the coaches can't blame themselves either, or they're digging their own grave. If RGIII truly thinks he needs a better coach, Dan Snyder won't hesitate to give him one.
Whatever my colleague Darrell Green says or doesn't say, RGIII is the de facto leader of the Washington Redskins. He built up the price of his real estate by winning the NFC East and the rookie of the year. Not many players on the roster would know what winning in the NFL would taste like without Griffin. So they've bought into his abilities -- as a quarterback and in what he says.
So in turn, Griffin is young enough to make you think his growing pains come with the territory. And he's wise enough to blame other aspects on the Shanahan's -- a coaching staff who couldn't string seven wins together before RGIII's arrival. To me, Griffin painted a clear picture Sunday at the podium: my coaches are more responsible for us sucking than I am.
I tend to agree more with RGIII in this situation. He's been sloppy in four of the ten games. He's been knocked back to earth -- a process he skipped last season during the miracle run. I have more faith that RGIII will improve with time than I do with the coaches. Kyle Shanahan has been more inconsistent than his quarterback and for some reason is scared to take chances with Griffin's superior arm strength. Outside of the triple-option wrinkle, the offense did not evolve enough when it mattered this season, even with all of the same weapons -- including a fully healthy Pierre Garcon.
Griffin is strategic with his image. As he should be. At times he can be a larger than life icon. I won't let him off the hook for under performing in 2013 though. Redskins fans will give him a free pass this season for the most part. They'll continue to swallow his spoon fed messages on how the team is family and that we won't see quit in his guys. But until we hear the Redskins quarterback start saying "my fault," while he stands at the podium, Darrell Green's harsh opinion on RGIII's leadership tendencies may not be entirely false.
Week 10: Redskins future up in the air after gut wrenching loss in Minnesota
Week 9: Return to 2012 and it's not RGIII: Unsung hero David Amerson saves the day
Week 8: Redskins fans having a tough time trusting RGIII's arm
Week 7: RGIII and the rushing attack breathe life into the Redskins
Week 6: The Redskins should have been good enough to survive a sophomore slump from RGIII
Week 4: 9-quick hitters on the Redskins first win of the season
Week 3: Quit on RGIII: That's what he wants you to do
Week 2: Work in progress: RGIII needs more time to adjust to pocket passing life
Week 1: Don't blame rust: RGIII and Redskins straight up embarrassed by the Eagles.

In Treatment: Jake and Amy-Week One
It's like the fourth first episode in a row! It really is amazing how every episode so far has essentially been the first episode of a new series. In fact, when they do the "Next time on..." bit, it's not "Tomorrow on In Treatment." It's "Next Thursday on In Treatment: Jake & Amy. And there has been no real connection between these first few episodes, save the common thread of Paul Weston as therapist. Tomorrow night's episode will show what this series is really going to be about as Paul goes to see his own therapist. In Treatment is one of the most unusual television experiments I've ever seen, but after four episodes I think I'm beginning to really like it.
I'm not familiar with the prior work of either Josh Charles or Embeth Davidtz, but I thought both pulled off believable performances as a married couple struggling with what to do about an unplanned pregnancy. I was looking forward to seeing this episode because it's the first time we get to see Paul interacting with more than one person. The first three episodes were like two-man plays you'd see on a stage. But now we have...well, a three-man play.
Amy is an aloof, arrogant, cold-hearted career woman. She comes from money, as Jake was happy to point out with bile dripping from his words, and expects to get her way. But she also suffers from an inability to let down her walls and express herself sincerely. Jake, on the other hand, reminds me of many of my blue collar friends. Construction workers, painters and roofers who aren't the most educated or knowledgeable people, but are brutally honest and sincere. They say what they're feeling. Jake, in fact, never stopped saying what he was feeling. Both characters seemed a bit too perfectly archetypal of their "types," so I'm hoping future installments can add some individuality to their personas.
Maybe it was the presence of that third principal character, or all the fighting and energy, but this episode felt like it moved along at a much quicker clip than the first three. And you could see on Paul's face, that these sessions were starting to wear on him. I'd always heard that most therapists need a therapist of their own to unload on, and Gabriel Byrne's expressions during the frequent fighting, or when he would get interrupted mid-sentence, were dead-on. Byrne is a master of the "less is more" school of acting.
In the end, no decision is reached on whether or not to have the baby, but Weston does start to reveal the real issues surrounding the question (to which Jake appears to be completely oblivious so far). Ultimately it comes down to trust and control. Jake doesn't have any of either, and Amy doesn't want to give any of it up. It's a believable situation. As a man who spent some time with my significant other being the primary bread winner, I can say that there's something difficult about that. Sexist or not, men are taught by society to be the providers, the bread-winners, and to take care of their families and their lives. Not being able to do so, or having to rely on someone else, is a major sting on the pride and extremely difficult to handle. Jake's failing to handle it just as I would have expected, lashing out in anger and suspicion.
Amy doesn't help matters by chronically lying, doing things behind his back. They've created a vicious circle where she lies because he freaks out about everything and doesn't trust her and he freaks out about everything and doesn't trust her because she lies. I also wonder how long they've been married (was that addressed and I missed it?). Of course, at the root of their trust issues, in my opinion, is the genesis of their own relationship. Amy was cheating on her first husband with Jake. I've seen how that plays out and that second marriage almost never makes it.
More than any of the other three patients we've met, I feel Jake and Amy really need therapy or they're going to lose their marriage. I do think Alex has some deep-rooted issues, and Sophie looks to be setting us up for some really heartbreaking tragedy (or is it too obvious the affection she discusses between her and her coach?). Only Laura, so far, has failed to entice me as to what makes her so compelling. It's a shame the series opened with her session.
Almost a week in now and it's still hard to say whether this show is going to be good or not because all we really have is the first episodes of four different, but related, shows. Tomorrow night, as I said, will bring it all together and tell the real story of In Treatment. And getting two modern legends like Gabriel Byrne and Dianne Wiest (as his therapist) together should make for magic. I can't think of better casting!

AVG 2014 Free
AVG's Anti-Virus and Web Protection line follows on the heel of last year's highly-ranked protection suite by not simply including some minor but key tweaks to both its front-end and back-end,AVG 2014 Free but a more powerful push towards personal data administration and personal privacy energies that help stop unwanted accessibility to your files. Though several threats still exist, safety programs as they stand now start to involve areas of privacy utilities. Whereas most dangers were formerly exterior viruses trying to come into your machines, nowadays malware focus more on tricking users to accidentally open doors for hijacking. AVG 2014
Version 2013 was AVG's first push towards taking on and remixing the Modern UI motion. Not simply a feedback to competitors, the Modern UI movement represents an overall push toward developing a much more streamlined safety experience. For the ordinary consumer, your anti-virus and anti-malware programs protect your computer by compiling a set it and forget it system. NEW! AVG 2014 free TuneUp Disk cleaner gets rid of data trash and cleans more than 150 popular programs. Get more software 2015 AVG info at avg free edition 2014 and the other 2015 Norton software sites norton internet security 2014 "
Balancing along the fine line of being both friendly yet empowering is a vital objective of not just AVG 2014 but also just about any kind of energy software application designer: Modern UI has the aesthetic appeal. However, does it evoke control and the complacency over all the software's power components?
In our last assessment, we approved AVG 2014 free 's choice to lessen the installment steps. It still contains a toolbar deal, and even with the universal disgust towards being tricked in to installing yet one more browser assistant things, AVG 2014 free 's toolbar actually does include helpful protection options like Do Not Track. Again it's a tradeoff. However, if you actually wanted DNT's functions, there's a standalone version available for free on Firefox and Chrome in their extension stores. AVG 2014 free
By now, virtually every major protection software program maker has basically embraced the level, Modern UI appearance and AVG has kept its own visuals mostly intact. The main screen is embellished with AVG's primary locations of protection that include your pc, scanning the Web, Identity security features, e-mail security, and others that occupy the second row if you opt to buy the premium or Internet Security suites. It coincides as in 2012′s layout, but still a radical departure from the old AVG that's cherished, yet still might take some obtaining used to for the much more hands-on user. Fortunately, all it's older browse environments are still neatly tucked under the options, though they aren't virtually as touch-friendly. NEW! TuneUp Disk cleaner gets rid of data trash and cleans more than 150 popular programs.
All visual and business renovations apart, AVG 2014 (along with numerous other protection collections we have actually seen) have essentially been continuously clothe a Windows 7 application without completely taking into the actual Modern UI atmosphere, wholeheartedly.

Can anything that's knitted really be terrifying? It probably depends what has been knitted, exactly.
A crochet bunny rabbit, for instance? Totally not terrifying. A knit SpongeBob-SquarePants suicide bomber? Pretty terrifying.
Knitted works by German artist Patricia Waller are featured in an exhibit at the Galerie Deschler in Berlin, which says this about the unusual objet d'art:
Patricia Waller has been working for many years on her crochet objects, exploring a host of unlikely and unexpected themes. Her objects are so refreshingly unconventional and disrespectful that they are hard to resist. By disguising highly explosive topics in homely harmlessness, she shrewdly out-tricks our viewing habits by means of the utter inappropriateness of material to subject matter.
"Disrespectful?" "Homely harmlessness?" Intrigued? Take a look at some examples of the knit horror:

I tend to avoid discussing local politics in this space. Part of what makes the Personal Liberty Digest™ the world's top-ranked Libertarian website is our "laser-like" focus on the subjects to which you, our patrons, can relate. The political goings-on in the city of which I am a resident, Savannah, Ga., are probably pretty inconsequential to most of you; and they're certainly unlikely to rate a discussion on an internationally recognized site such as this.
However, on Tuesday, my fellow Savannahians and I ducked into the polls with our usual civic pride (about 19 percent of eligible voters took time away from holding down the area's couches and/or holding up the area's liquor stores to bother). Though the ballot questions dealt with a very local issue, the nature of the question provides what President Barack Obama might call a "teachable moment."
Tuesday's balloting in Savannah asked:
Shall a special one percent sales and use tax be imposed in Chatham County for a period of six years for the raising of an estimated amount of $370,000,000 for the purposes of funding certain capital outlay projects within Chatham County and the municipalities in Chatham County including storm-water and drainage; road, street, bridge, and transportation; water and sewer infrastructure; administrative, cultural, judicial, industrial and recreational facilities and improvements; park facilities and improvements; greenspace; public works and public safety equipment and facilities?
If imposition of the tax is approved by the voters, such vote shall also constitute approval of the issuance of general obligation debt of Chatham County in the principal amount not to exceed $30,000,000 for County projects.
The question related to the sixth extension of the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST), an added penny on the local sales tax — this time in order to fund a new arena in a dilapidated part of town. On the surface, it seemed like a reasonable request. However, the ballot omitted the fact that Savannah's city council has spent the better part of the past decade proving that not only can it not be trusted to safeguard the public commonwealth, but it isn't particularly concerned about that fact. In the past few years, the council has treated its constituents to a series of scandals and budgetary missteps that included: a racist conspiracy to rig the hiring of an unqualified city manager (who was subsequently forced out for cause), an under-the-table payment of $50,000 to a city council member and a general attempt to run the city at least as well as that urban paradise of Detroit. And the SPLOST revenues have been egregiously, even deliberately, misspent. Try the same question, as translated from the overly detailed ballot-speak:
May we impose on you to grant another extension for a tax which we have repeatedly proven we will misspend, mismanage and/or just plain waste; with the caveat that we will ostensibly use the latest revenue for projects we have failed to convince the public are even necessary, much less wise?
My beloved denizens of Personal Liberty Digest™, these are precisely the sort of lessons we must learn and the battles we must win. In truth, consumption taxes like Savannah's SPLOST are the most egalitarian methods of taxation. Those who spend like a certain first lady at a five-star resort gift shop will pay more in sales taxes; those who spend like a General Electric factory worker who lost his livelihood when Obama's crony Jeff Immelt outsourced his job to China will pay far less. But even the fairest method of tax collection loses validity when it is employed to fund an unfair goal, and that method loses even more so when the collectors are as trustworthy as a certain husband of a certain first lady.
The SPLOST ballot question that my neighbors and I faced on Tuesday serves as an excellent, albeit municipal, allegory for the larger choice that faces us all as Americans: If the government has repeatedly proven itself unworthy of our basic faith, is it wise to assume that it's operating honestly this time?
By the way, the measure passed. (*Sigh*)

Thunderbird Plugin Won't Open Emails Added As Tasks, Freezing Thunderbird
Good morning!
As of about midday yesterday, we stopped being able to open emails added as tasks through the Thunderbird plugin, and all it does is freeze Thunderbird when we try. This happens occasionally (especially if we are in a different Inbox than the email was added from), but since yesterday, we have been unable to open any of the emails added as tasks, regardless of the Inbox or anything. Is this something that will be fixed quickly? Without this functionality, ToDoist does not perform the way we need it to.
All responses
Hello Tara,
We're very sorry for the inconvenience, we'll look into this as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Do you have a timeframe?
Unfortunately, we can't say for sure when exactly this will be fixed, but we're looking into it right now.
Best regards,
Any news on this? This issue is causing more and more Thunderbird crashes. Please help!
We're very sorry for the delays, we're looking into this issue now and as soon as we have any updates, we'll post here.
Best regards,
Just checking on status of this issue - we have been 4 days without being able to use Todoist the way we need to. Will this be corrected soon? We are unable to go another week this way!
We're sorry for the delay, as soon as it's done I will inform you in this thread, we're working on this right now.
Best regards,
How can we escalate this problem? As a Premium user, this addon is the ONLY way that we use ToDoist. Please let me know who I can contact to escalate this problem, as it has been outstanding for over a week.
Thank you!
The issue has already been fixed. We are just figuring out if we need to push an update to the client side. Please try clearing the cache for Thunderbird or Firefox and let me know if it continues.
Ahhhh, great, thank you!

Baden: 24 May 2011 - 25 May 2011
Organiser: IEA Experts' Group on R&D Priority Setting and Evaluation
Contact Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
This event focussed on gaining understanding of the socio-economic parameters, actors and impacts involved in the transition to a low-carbon society. Participants shared the mechanisms, methods and measures taken to achieving successful implementation.
The transition to a low-carbon society is a multifaceted challenge in which the actors are inter-dependent and for whom the solutions have immediate (local) and long-term (global) benefits. For the transition to be a success, a variety of stakeholders representing socio-economic sectors will need to actively participate: policy makers, energy planners, the research community, academia, businesses and industry, and individuals.
Unfortunately socio-economic considerations are not consistently included in technology R&D programmes and plans - but this is changing. For new technologies, integrated consultation and planning can begin at inception. Universities are increasingly creating cross-departmental programmes where students from engineering, environment, design, architectural, economics and social science departments work together.
For existing technologies entering the market, coherent legal and regulatory frameworks that include socio-economic considerations are key to acceptance. Attempts by policy makers have been successful, while others have not. Examining the conditions that led to success or failure will serve as lessons learned for R&D planners.
Investments and fiscal measures (e.g. progressive/regressive tax schemes) are also important. What is feasible? Who pays? Some instruments and policies have shown to be effective in implementing R&D from a socio-economic perspective, particularly the end-user: R&D agencies, industry, and consumers.
Expected Outcome:
The summary of the workshop is expected to inform national R&D policies and plans.
Target Audience:
This event was designed for policy makers, energy planners, socio-economic researchers, R&D experts, and energy technology experts.

Sunday, April 8, 2012, 04:09 AM ( 1 view ) - New images - Posted by AdministratorThe end of March only means one thing to me.
The NCAA Div 1 Wrestling Championships.
Penn State repeats. They're going to be tough with Cael leading and the recruits he can pull in.
Tom Brands is not a happy man. I can assure you.
Most impressive was definitely Kyle Dake. 3 different weight classes, 3 NCAA titles. Cornell has had a pretty solid program for the past several years, 3 NCAA champions for them this year. Looking forward to see how Dake does at the Olympic Trials in Iowa in a few weeks and to see if he can make more history next year and get 4 titles to join Cael and Pat Smith.
Yojiro Uetake(OK State) definitely would have been in the club(and probably would have been the first undefeated and 4-time champ) had freshman been allowed to wrestle back in the day.
Also looking forward to seeing how Brent Metcalf will do, but he'll have to get by Teyon Ware first. Teyon Ware gator rolled Metcalf into oblivion in their World Team Trials championship match last year.

I did this concept illustration for HBO last year and it's the Great Sept of Baelor. It had to look different than the tv show, so for those of you who are fans, that's the explanation.
If you've bought the Season 1 DVDs and Blu Rays, then you'll see a ton of work that I did for the Guide to Westeros. I did hundreds of illustrations and the production company took those and incorporated them into something really cool which look like motion comics.
Hope you enjoy

They are heavy duty and the clips on one end are really nice because that end won't come un hooked while your loading your bikes. The built in soft loop straps are also really nice. I own 2 sets and plan to buy 2 more

"Those that say it can't be done should get out of the way of those doing it" Chinese Proverb
TWO WOLVES: a cherokee tale (relate this story to your weight loss journey)
A Grandfather from the Cherokee Nation was talking with his grandson.
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves."
"One wolf is evil and ugly: He is anger, envy, war, greed, self-pity, sorrow, regret, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,superiority, selfishness and arrogance."
"The other wolf is beautiful and good: He is friendly, joyful, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, justice, fairness, empathy, generosity, true, compassion, gratitude, and deep vision."
"This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other human as well."
The grandson paused in deep reflection because of what his grandfather had just said. Then he
finally cried out; "Oyee! Grandfather, which wolf will win?"
The elder Cherokee replied, "The wolf that you feed"

Mayor's Management Report Shows Impact of Recession
New York, NY —
The Mayor's Management Report shows evidence of the down economy. More people are homeless, on welfare and getting food stamps. WNYC's Cindy Rodriguez has more:
REPORTER: The report provides a snapshot of city services between July and October of 2009. It shows a 25 percent increase in family homelessness and a 7 percent increase in the number of homeless single adults compared to the same period in the prior year. At the same time the number of households on cash assistance increased 5 percent to about 355,000. The city blames this on the struggling economy, fewer entry level jobs, and increased requests for one time assistance. Food stamp usage went up about 22 percent. Among people not receiving welfare, the number of people on food stamps went up 38 percent -- a record high. The city says that's likely because of a push to make food stamps more accessible.
For WNYC, I'm Cindy Rodriguez

Roswell, New Mexico, September 15th… Going Wireless Contest: 2nd Winner
Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, It's True
A photographer was seen walking down the street with a backpack. Clamped on to the backpack were various pipes, more clamps and an umbrella. Into the umbrella there was a small strobe, triggered by a PocketWizard. Jesse Rosten, the photographer, had cobbled the idea together just to win the 2nd monthly PW video contest. And he won!
See it on YouTube in High Quality
Congratulations, Jesse. The ingenious rig enabled him to hand hold camera and light, a la Strobist, anywhere he walked. Just amazing. You can see his other talents (director, motion graphics designer and still photographer) on his web site at www.jesserosten.com and blog. The amazing thing is there are hundreds of photographers from Roswell, New Mexico, using the same lighting setup. One even has eight strobes and umbrellas mounted in a circle! And, he's getting on a spaceship.

The Breed
The Bergamasco is an ancient shepherding breed which traces its origins back thousands of years. Believed to have originated in Persia (in the area that is now Iran), hardy, vigorous shepherding dogs worked with their nomadic masters, tending and herding flocks of sheep in the harsh mountain climates from Persia west to Europe. Certain of these nomads ultimately settled in the Italian Alps and remained there; their dogs became what is now known as the Bergamasco.
Bergamascos worked closely with their shepherds in a one-to-one relationship, the goal of which was to protect the flock. Unlike some other shepherding breeds, which are taught to execute exact commands from their masters, the Bergamasco enjoyed a unique partnership with its shepherd in the isolated high mountain valleys: with just one human, a small number of dogs, and hundreds of sheep to tend, the shepherd needed his helpers to be as independent as possible, and so the Bergamasco was developed to problem-solve on its own. Thus, while it learned to take its lead from its shepherd, the manner in which it accomplished what the shepherd wanted was left up to it. And so, it learned to identify problems and to think its way through them, and to accomplish the goal in whichever way seemed best, given the always changing circumstances in the mountain valleys.
As a result, Bergamascos developed into a highly intelligent breed that combines a deep desire to please and help its master with an ability to think for itself and to figure out its own ways to accomplish the mutual goals. Thus, to a certain extent, it for good reason sees itself more as an equal working partner than as an inferior subordinate. This makes the Bergamasco an excellent choice for a person who appreciates intelligence and self-sufficiency in a companion.
Bergamascos began to mongrelize and were in danger of becoming extinct after World War II, when wool production fell off and there was less need for shepherding dogs. Dr. Maria Andreoli, an Italian breeder, was instrumental in saving the breed before it became extinct. As a trained scientist, she was able to study and observe the genetic traits of the breed, and through 40 years of careful breeding has developed many lines of champion dogs. It is largely due to Mrs. Andreoli and her Dell' Albera kennel that good, established reliable bloodlines were developed, and it is through her generous help and sharing of her knowledge and expertise that the Bergmasco has been able to be so successfully introduced and developed in the US.
For any inquiries about the breed, please contact us at:firstname.lastname@example.com

Comments about Liquid Force Liquid Force Women's Luna Wakeboard With Prima Bindings '09:
I love my wakeboard I love the fact that the boots and bindings are already attached to the board I mean it makes it a lot easier to just jump into the water with the board on your feel. The colors are awesome and and stand out liquid force is one of the best boards besides hyper lite, I'm not complaining everytime I look at my board I get even more excited because it's an awesome sport hard but fun. I wouldn't change getting it and I got it at a great price which is better then the regular price.

As of Wednesday, July 17, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
As a kid, Todd Wofford couldn't grasp how far football could take him. The assumption: not too far out of his hometown.
But as one of Georgia's top young head coaches, the Central Gwinnett leader keeps climbing to new heights.
The latest happens this week for Wofford, the only Georgian selected for the 2013 NFL Foundation-USA Football Youth Summit at the National Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. The select group of coaches, league commissioners and athletic directors will discuss a number of topics with one of the major issues being player safety.
The honor came as a surprise to Wofford, who was notified of his selection with a phone call earlier this year. The summit began Wednesday and concludes with a celebration dinner tonight.
"I'm from Cartersville," Wofford said. "I never would have thought football would take me where every coach wants to go to, the National Football Hall of Fame. I'm super excited to be a part of this."
A former wide receiver at Presbyterian College, Wofford has excelled in the high school coaching ranks, including stops at Peachtree Ridge and Gainesville, where he was the offensive coordinator before his hiring at Central.
His up-tempo offense and energy have infused a new level of excitement into the Black Knights' program during his three years as head coach. Central went 6-4 last season for its first winning record since 2006.
Coaches around the county speak highly of Wofford and his coaching acumen, but his interaction and relationships with his players are just as important. Last year, he was one of 32 coaches nominated for the 2012 Don Shula NFL High School Coach of the Year Award. Kansas City Chiefs safety Kendrick Lewis nominated Wofford because of how much Wofford helped Lewis when he was displaced to Gainesville by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The NFL called on Wofford again this year in the form of this week's summit, which is funded by the NFL Foundation.
All of this year's attendees will be trained in USA Football's Heads Up Football initiative, while concussion treatment and prevention will come from Stan Herring, the director of sports, spine and orthopaedic health for the University of Washington School of Medicine as well as the team physician for the Seattle Seahawks and Mariners. Other experts will lead sessions on sports psychology, heat and hydration, performance training, education and character and life skills development.
Wofford and his fellow coaches are expected to be active participants in the discussion, sharing their opinions and ideas with the larger group.
"Anything I can get and learn from other coaches is something that will help me," Wofford said. "Something I can use with my own staff or anything I can use to put us ahead working with kids or helping us off the field or scheme-wise. And just being around NFL guys and NFL coaches is a great opportunity."
It's an opportunity he never envisioned, even as a young coach.
"It's unbelievable to have this happen," Wofford said. "To be where I am now, it's unbelievable."

Fairly decent product
By not happy
from Buffalo, NY
Not a bad product if the base was bigger. This base does not go into the mattress far enough for it to be stable. Had to put it between frame and mattress instead of between box spring and mattress just to get it a little more stable.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

And the plot thickens, Chris Kluwe's lawyer says they have texts from Blair Walsh supporting allegations .
That's More Like It – The Badgers got back in the W column on Saturday against Purdue and I think we all needed to see that. The defense while not stellar was much more solid holding Purdue to only 58 points. Hopefully this will turn the corner for a team that needed the win as much as the fans did after that 2 game losing streak. This week they'll have Northwestern and then a real test in Ohio State, thankfully at the Kohl Center. I'll need to see another good performance from the Badgers to be sure they are the team we thought they were, but the win on Saturday was a good start.

Bloody or tarry stools
Bloody stools often are a sign of an injury or disorder in the digestive tract. Your doctor may use the term "melena" to describe black, tarry, and foul-smelling stools or "hematochezia" to describe red- or maroon-colored stools.
Alternative Names
Stools - bloody; Hematochezia; Melena; Stools - black or tarry
Blood in the stool may come from anywhere along your digestive tract, from mouth to anus. It may be present in such small amounts that you cannot actually see it, and it is only detectable by a fecal occult blood test.
When there is enough blood to change the appearance of your stools, the doctor will want to know the exact color to help find the site of bleeding. To make a diagnosis, your doctor may use endoscopy or special x-ray studies.
Black stool usually means that the blood is coming from the upper part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This includes the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Blood will typically look like tar after it has been exposed to the body's digestive juices as it passes through the intestines.
Maroon-colored stools or bright red blood usually suggests that the blood is coming from the lower part of the GI tract (large bowel, rectum, or anus). However, sometimes massive or rapid bleeding in the stomach causes bright red stools.
Eating black licorice, lead, iron pills, bismuth medicines like Pepto-Bismol, or blueberries can also cause black stools. Beets and tomatoes can sometimes make stools appear reddish. In these cases, your doctor can test the stool with a chemical to rule out the presence of blood.
Bleeding in the esophagus or stomach (such as with peptic ulcer disease) can also cause you to vomit blood.
Common Causes
The upper part of the GI tract will usually cause black stools due to:
- Abnormal blood vessels (vascular malformation)
- A tear in the esophagus from violent vomiting (Mallory-Weiss tear)
- Bleeding stomach or duodenal ulcer
- Inflammation of the stomach lining (gastritis)
- Lack of proper blood flow to the intestines (bowel ischemia)
- Trauma or foreign body
- Widened, overgrown veins (called varices) in the esophagus and stomach
The lower part of the GI tract will usually cause maroon or bright red, bloody stools due to:
- Anal fissures
- Bowel ischemia (when blood supply is cut off to part of the intestines)
- Colon polyps or colon cancer
- Diverticulosis (abnormal pouches in the colon)
- Hemorrhoids (common cause)
- Inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis)
- Intestinal infection (such as bacterial enterocolitis)
- Small bowel tumor
- Trauma or foreign body
- Vascular malformation (abnormal collections of blood vessels called arteriovenous malformations or AVMs)
Call your health care provider if
Call your doctor immediately if you notice blood or changes in the color of your stool. Even if you think that hemorrhoids are causing the blood in your stool, your doctor should examine you to make sure that there is no other, more serious cause present.
In children, a small amount of blood in the stool is usually not serious. The most common causes are constipation and milk allergies. However, it is still worth reporting to your doctor, even if no evaluation is needed.
What to expect at your health care provider's office
Your doctor will take a medical history and perform a physical examination, focusing on your abdomen and rectum.
The following questions may be included in the history to better understand the possible causes of your bloody or dark stools:
- Are you taking blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, Aggrenox) or NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen)?
- Have you had any trauma to the abdomen or rectum, or have you swallowed a foreign object accidentally?
- Have you eaten black licorice, lead, Pepto-Bismol, or blueberries?
- Have you had more than one episode of blood in your stool? Is every stool this way?
- Have you lost any weight recently?
- Is there blood on the toilet paper only?
- What color is the stool?
- When did it develop?
- What other symptoms are present -- abdominal pain, vomiting blood, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, or fever?
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of the bleeding. For serious bleeding, you may be admitted to a hospital for monitoring and evaluation. If there is massive bleeding, you will be monitored in an intensive care unit. Emergency treatment may include a blood transfusion.
The following diagnostic tests may be performed:
- Angiography
- Barium studies
- Bleeding scan (nuclear medicine)
- Blood studies, including a complete blood count ( CBC) and differential, serum chemistries, clotting studies
- Colonoscopy
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD
- Stool culture
- Tests for the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection
- X-rays of the abdomen
If you have passed a lot of blood, you may need emergency treatment, which can include:
- Blood transfusions
- Fluids through a vein
- Interventional radiography embolization (a procedure to block the blood vessels that may be bleeding)
- Medications to decrease stomach acid
- Possible surgery if bleeding does not stop

Shannon Karnerwrote a review of CamelBak Annadel Hydration Pack - Women's - 150cu in on August 8, 2011
Awesome CamelBak for Long Summer Runs
I recently purchased one of these for a friend (in pink) and one for me as well (in blue) because we wanted to have a convenient method of bringing water with us as we ran trails in preparation for a few summer 5K and 10K trail races. These packs have worked perfectly, and now we never leave home without them. They carry just enough water so you don't have to stop at water stations along the race routes. Plus, the strap across the chest keeps the pack in place while you are running so it's not flopping all over the place, which was my main concern when purchasing a CamelBak for running. The women's fit is also quite nice as the shoulder straps are very comfortable and fit just right. I would definitely recommend these packs for running, and they would also be useful for outdoorsy adventurers who enjoy mountain biking, road biking, kayaking, and hiking. With this summer being so extremely hot, it's nice to have a convenient method of carrying a bunch of icy cold water! The pockets are perfect for holding keys, cell phones (even the larger phones), a camera. I would buy another one of these hydration packs in a heartbeat!
