text: Hey guys, i just want to double check that i got everything right for harvesting my white widow plant, here is what i plan to do: I plan to first of all, chop the plant down at the bottom of the stem, then hang it upside down (the whole plant, not seperate buds because there only small) for about 3 - 4 days untill it becomes dry and brittle, e.g. you can snap the stem, once this has occured i plan to chop the buds off from the main stem, then de-leaf the buds so alls i have left is the bud, im then plan to place these buds into a glass jar with a sealed lid, and leave them in here for about 2 - 3 weeks letting them mature/cure whatever, each day checking the jar for sweat and turning the buds over, then resealing it. Thats it, is this ok? will this work fine? or will it mess my buds up? any comments, suggestions most welcome, thanks for your time. Peace.

Aztecs hope for soft landing against Wyoming
They are playing to win, once, now, tonight.
"It's the next game on our schedule," Xavier Thames said, "but we've got to win. … Yeah, we've got to win."
Fisher and his players sounded optimistic that they would have Jamaal Franklin, their leading scorer and rebounder who sat out Saturday's ugly 58-56 loss at Air Force with a sprained left ankle. On Monday, Franklin was able to jog and shoot. On Tuesday, he participated in half-court, non-contact drills and Fisher declared him a "maybe."
Garrett Green, who replaced Franklin in the starting lineup Saturday only to sprain his right ankle, is less certain. He walked through some plays at practice Tuesday but appears to be a day or two behind Franklin and was labeled "doubtful" by Fisher.
In Wyoming (18-8, 4-6), the Aztecs get a team that has also lost three straight. But they get a team that prefers a slow tempo, keeps the possessions to a minimum, tries to make you play 30 seconds of defense, tries to shorten the game and reduce your margin for error. In 25 of 26 games this season, the Cowboys have held opposing teams under their scoring average.
Sound familiar? It's what Air Force did Saturday, and the Aztecs were helpless to do much about it.
The obvious solution is to extend your defense and push the pace, and the players have talked about trying to run more, and that's fine when you have a full complement of 13 scholarship players. The Aztecs have seven healthy, and that includes one (Alec Williams) who hasn't played much, another (DeShawn Stephens) in only his third year of organized basketball, another (Rahon) with a bad foot and two others (Thames and Tim Shelton) with bad knees.
"You have to push the ball, home or away," Fisher said. "You don't win if you don't get some easy baskets. … That being said, we can't run up and down for 40 minutes and shoot it within five seconds on every trip."
But as important as sprained ankles might be his team's sprained psyches. The three-game losing streak is the first in four seasons and 143 games, meaning only Shelton was around for the last one — and he wasn't suited up, his freshman season aborted earlier by knee surgery. Before practice Monday, Shelton and Chase Tapley asked Fisher if they could have a players-only meeting.
"We won a lot of close games early, six of seven," Fisher said of games decided by four points or less. "And now we've lost a couple of close games, and there's not much difference. But there's a humongous difference in how you feel after the game.
"We've got to have an edge about ourselves. We can't lose confidence. We have to compete and believe we are going to win. … I told them: 'There's not a magic formula I can give you. But you're a good basketball team.' "

Without a doubt, there are some actors who, in interviews, seem to behave like a sort of caged animal: They're mellow and mostly accommodating because they know they're not going anywhere, but it's best not to provoke them any more than necessary because, well, they're formidable.
Although Christian Bale has sometimes been categorized as a "difficult" interview, it has been my experience that he is simply the tiger that doesn't like to be poked; it isn't that he won't answer tough questions, or offer real insights, it's simply that he likes doing better than discussing, and that he doesn't suffer fools (or foolish questions) easily.
Cinematical sat down with Bale at the recent Los Angeles press day for 'The Fighter,' David O. Russell's retelling of the real-life story of Micky Ward, a Boston pugilist who emerged from the shadow of his older brother Dicky to become a contender in his own right. In addition to discussing the challenges of playing Dicky Ward, a crack-addicted charmer, Bale examined his creative relationship with director Russell and his fellow collaborators, and explored the process of elevating material beyond its conventions in order to create something truly special.
You're kind of known for playing characters that are more brooding and intense. Was part of the appeal of playing Dicky the fact that he was maybe a little more flamboyant than some of the other characters you've taken on?
No, not really. I don't have acknowledged preferences of characters. Other people like to look at it and talk about that and figure that stuff out, and this was just another good character that I liked a lot and, yeah, he does end up being a lot more flamboyant. But I never look at it and go, what haven't I done? What do I need to do? I just read a part and go, right, good -- that's the part I want to do. I don't really analyze it as much as that. But yeah, there is a kind of great sort of lightness to Dicky, this sort of buoyancy, this bounciness that he has all of the time. He's good company, I like him, and you can't always understand what he's saying when you first meet him -- but he does that a little bit on purpose. But once I got my ear in, it was great, and he's such a fun character to play; he's kind of like a dog sort of hanging out the car window, with the ears flapping and the jowls going, and that was how I felt playing him -- that it was just right. But believe me, I take it down a fair bit from what the real Dicky is, because David [O. Russell] would go, "nobody's going to believe it -- no one would believe this guy really." So we had to reign it in a little bit, actually.
Was it time spent with Dicky or the physical transformation or what was the most integral part of tapping into the character?
It was time spent with him, absolutely, no doubt about it. Just getting to have that is wonderful, and I've never had that before -- I can't remember, but I don't think I've played a living character. Certainly nobody who's been present or been around and I've been able to hang out with them.
Except for Patrick Bateman (laughs).
Yeah, right. Certainly there's a number of them about -- and I did meet with a number of them (laughs). But that was just invaluable; I wish I could do that on every movie, have the real guy hanging about to meet with. So it all came from that.
You and David both are known for having a very sort of intense commitment to the artistic process. Did that respective commitment make it difficult to fall into lockstep with one another, or did that make your collaboration more comfortable?
He's one of the easiest guys to get along with. Like we were talking about Dicky, David's very silly in a good way, and we had so much fun on this. But you know, I mean, look -- people say "intense," there's never a point where anybody I'm aware of thinks to themselves, "I'm going to behave like I'm intense." You just -- things happen and you respond. But we had a great time on the set, you know; being in Lowell with the good atmosphere and the fact that the family was behind us so they were happy and therefore the people of Lowell were happy with us being there, because they probably could have just really easily made it just absolutely awful for us if they wanted to. Dicky and the family would be around or else would just come down at lunch time and hang out, and the style that David used for this movie was one where we wanted to have a sense of speed, you know? We didn't want to have a huge shooting schedule; there were financial limits, but I thought it was good as well because it needed that speed and that momentum and we improvised a whole lot. So there would be a lot of times where he would just be filming and I wouldn't be aware half the time -- "are we filming? Are we not filming? Oh, we are."
David was really great at rolling with the punches, and I think that it ended up being a real ideal blend of characters to make this movie and have it come out the right way. Because Mark [Wahlberg] and I, when I came on board, when we were talking and Darren Aronofsky had left at that point, we were talking about, what do you want to do? And the conversation was always, we don't want to do something which is kind of this over-fascination with drug addiction and all of that and taking us down that road. Because that's not what we see when we meet with Micky and Dicky, you know? Yeah, it happened, but that's not the story. It's the bond between the two of them and the chaos of life, and David really can bring that out where he can get the drama and the comedy going hand-in-hand.
At the same time, there's also a certain kind of sports movie convention that this sort of fits into. When you come into a project like this, is there any input or emphasis that you can contribute, or is it just the cumulative efforts of everyone involved that distinguishes a movie from those clichés? Is there something you can do to make a film, say, not like the same underdog story that's been told 150 times?
Yeah, of course. If you recognize that and you talk with people, yeah, it's going to change -- if people agree with you. But it's a team effort, and so maybe sometimes if you think something's not right, ultimately you've got to say, hey! And what's the point of having a director? The point of having a director is that they make the final decision; it's their point of view, they set the rhythm and they make the final decisions. So yeah, of course you can do that, but it's got to be their choice -- it has to be. A movie's only good if you've really ended up with -- well, I believe -- one point of view, the director's point of view. So yeah, a good director will be able to listen and hear everything, but have a confident vision of his own that he can say, "oh yeah -- that's a great point." And you never know; often you can help far more than you think you can, because there's so much more that he's juggling than an actor.
I think you've said as much in other interviews, but you seem more interested in doing this job than talking about it.
I think probably anybody is, right? It's like anything -- the watching of it rather than the analyzing it that's interesting. I also feel like there's that sort of "movie magic," and the magic sort of gets scrubbed away a little bit when you're talking about it too much.
Is there a part of the process that you're not asked about or that you do enjoy talking about?
No, listen, if anybody says to me, "I'm good -- I don't want to talk about it," there's nothing I ever want to add (laughs). And to me that's nothing to do with a lack of interest, it's purely about -- of course we're sitting here, because it's great to do a good movie. But it's even better to do a good movie that people know about and want to go see. But I guess it's also me personally; I like to sort of discover movies as I watch them, and if I hear too much about it beforehand, I never enjoy the movie as much, I just never do. If there's too much hype about it, or if I know too much, I go, "ah, don't tell me about it, just let me go watch it myself and I'll decide."
Do you feel the same way about the process of making them? Do you tend to be analytical, or are you more intuitive about developing your characters?
I wing it -- no, I really do wing it. It changes not just on every movie, it changes every day; we're all kind of different people morning, noon and night, and you've got to adjust how you're feeling, and the vibe, you've got to be aware of that on the set and picking up on that very much. Because -- and that's one thing I've got to say with 'The Fighter,' the producers, the line producer, Jeff Waxman, did a wonderful job, along with obviously David. It was a movie made for really not very much; everybody was not getting paid very much, and it was such a good spirit. Everyone was really behind the story; everybody really loved it and was laughing, enjoying it, following the story, no matter what job they had on the crew. You don't get that on every movie; some movies you can see people are just clocking in and they don't have a sense of connection, but on this one, everybody felt involved, and I think everybody felt like a filmmaker themselves rather than, oh, there's those *sshole filmmakers over there and the rest of us are just sort of going through the motions. This one was really a collective spirit, you know?

AROUND TOWN: Dougherty big winner in C vs. C finale
When Dunmore's Kyle Dougherty heads to Penn State this fall, it will be with some trepidation. Not about college, but about his younger brother driving the Toyota Corolla that Dougherty won, courtesy of Toyota of Scranton, for his essay and volunteer efforts that made him the grand prize winner at the Coaches vs. Cancer BasketBall three weeks ago.
"It'll be here," Dougherty said of the black 2014 Corolla he's cruising town with until he heads to PSU, where freshmen are not allowed to have a vehicle. "I have a younger brother who is hoping to drive it, but I don't want to let him."
It was another big season for Coaches vs. Cancer, which locally raised $272,000, much of which stays in the six-county, District 2-area for the American Cancer Society's Road to Recovery program, which offers rides for patients. Toyota also donated a van for that program.
Loss for local golf
Four years ago, it was my good fortune to interview Throop's Bill Zinsky for our Golfer in the News feature.
Zinsky was a three-time men's champion and two-time senior champion at Elkview Country Club, but was better known for two things.
He was one of the finest gentlemen you'd ever want to cross paths with and he was a superb player into his later years, regularly shooting his age from the time he was 71 years old. If you don't know Elkview's par, it's 72. Do the math.
Zinsky died Tuesday at 81, and it's a loss to anyone who knew him, but especially for his family and his long-time golfing partner Frank Capoocia .
Zinsky had a pair of double eagles in his golfing career, but the shots he made and tournaments he won pale in comparison to the quality person he was.

Question to those of you who stay at disney resorts or villas, which one do you prefer?
I'm really torn between the two. I want the magic but then again the space of a villa sounds great too
Question to those of you who stay at disney resorts or villas, which one do you prefer?
I'm really torn between the two. I want the magic but then again the space of a villa sounds great too
Never stayed onsite even before we had our own villa.
We like our own company and the comforts of a home and if we want to see lots of other people we can go out and do so.
To fit everyone into 1 or 2 rooms isn't for us. We like to relax and not have to keep to timetables etc.
I know people who stay onsite love being in amongst the whole mix and go back again and again.
It's just personal choice
Have you thought of a split stay? We've had guests who have done a week onsite and then a week in the villa. Then you have the best of both worlds.
I'm sure you'll be happy whatever you decide on.
We stayed in a villa on our first two trips and have stayed onsite everytime since then. While the villa was lovely I prefer to be in the middle of everything, we never cooked in the villa and hardly used the pool! I like to spend time in the resort (although we don't spend any time in the room apart from sleeping so the space is not an issue to us). I go to Florida for WDW. I'm not very good at 'chilling' so I like to have stuff to do at all times and staying onsite gives me that!
I think like Sandra suggests a split stay would be perfect if you are undecided, I would probably do onsite first followed by the more relaxing stay in a villa afterwards.
The decision really all depends on what you want out of a holiday.
we would love to stay in a villa but as there is just 2 of us its alot more expensive than staying in a hotel
We've stayed onsite once at the Poly and whilst it was nice, I missed the villa. It was nice being on the monorail so we didn't have to drive to MK or Epcot, there was the Disney atmosphere, but in a villa it is nice to leave it behind for a while.
I just like having the extra room, having the pool to myself, not having to go out for breakfast or dinner.
Sitting by the pool in the morning, listening to the birds, drinking a nice cup of tea and eating toast is a relaxing way to start the day
I really don't think I could go back to a hotel room again.
I truly like both I think a split stay would be pretty perfect but then I bet when I moved I'd miss the one I moved from
I do love being onsite. Take a bus to a park and back, so we can both have a drink or three the feel of being in the magic and so on.
The villa was great for getting away from it all and we'll certainly stay at a villa again

New Delhi, May 25, 2012 (YP Bureau)
US based Jasbir Singh, a key witness in 1984 Sikh Genocide Case against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler is ready to come to India and testify before an Indian Court despite a potential threat to his life here.
This was revealed by All India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF) President Karnail Singh Peermohammad who led the "Justice Rally" outside the Karkardooma Court where additional sessions Judge K. S Pal held the hearing. Senior Advocates Kamna Vora and Navkiran Singh represented the victims of the Genocide. Peermohammad released a sworn statement of US based witness to the media.
California based Jasbir Singh, a former resident of Delhi, heard and saw Tytler on November 3, 1984, rebuking his supporters for not killing enough Sikhs. Jasbir Singh fled India in 2002 to save his life because he was constantly receiving serious threats and warnings ever since he gave affidavit to Nanavati Commission against Congress leader Tytler implicating him as one of the leading conspirator and mastermind of 1984 Sikh Genocide.
Challenging CBI's determination of "lack of evidence" against Tytler's involvement, Jasbir Singh who lost more than two dozen family members during November 1984, states in his affidavit that despite threat to his life, he is "willing to come to India and testify before the court if murder charges are filed against Jagdish Tytler."
AISSF President Peermohammad stated that "now that US based witness Jasbir Singh has announced to come to India to testify in the court, CBI should withdraw the closure report and should file murder charges against Tytler". Since Nanavati Commission found evidence of Tytler's involvement in November 1984 killing of Sikhs, CBI has been acting as Tytler's defense team instead of booking Tytler u/s 302, added Peermohammad.
According to Babu Singh Dukhiya, President, "National 1984 Victims Justice and Welfare Society" stated that for the last 27 years, victims of Sikh Genocide have been seeking justice but successive Congress governments have been successfully shielding the perpetrators and leaders who organized the killing of Sikhs. It is ironic that thousands of Sikhs were murdered in broad day light in the first week of November 1984 but CBI failed to find any culprits, added Dukhiya.
AISSF, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), "National 1984 Victims Justice and Welfare Society members and hundreds of victims of November 1984 Sikh Genocide who participated in the "Justice Rally" outside the Karkardooma Court demanded filing of murder charges against Tytler for his role in leading mob that attacked Gurudwara Pulbangash in which several Sikhs were burnt alive.

I've searched the web and couldn't find an answer, so I'm approaching you fine folks.
I like to do as much bike maintenance as I can myself and I'd like to replace the oil in my mountain bike shocks. Why? Because I've owned the bike for a year and figure that it would probably be wise to change the oil (if it's not, then please let me know) I have Cannondale Lefty Speed DLR and Fox Float R shocks on the bike (2006 models). I looked at owners manuals for both and found nothing, and searched the web for the Lefty and found nothing. So I'm assuming this procedure is either so rediculously easy that it requires no instruction (like putting air in your tires) or is so feindishly difficult it can't be done without NASA training.
So, anyone know how to change the oil in a Lefty or Fox Float shock?

Interstate 64 Peninsula Study (I-64 Corridor from I-95 in Richmond to I-664 in Hampton)
|Multi-District: Hampton to Richmond
Project at a Glance
Hampton, Richmond, and York
Hampton Roads and Richmond
Hampton Roads District Communications
What's Being Done
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have initiated a study of the Interstate 64 corridor from I-95 in Richmond to I-664 in Hampton.
The purpose of this study is to identify transportation needs within the I-64 corridor and to evaluate the impacts of proposed improvements to meet those needs.
The study area is approximately 75 miles long.
Project Updates - Section II
On June 8, 2015, FHWA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) for the second operationally independent section to be implemented from the Interstate 64 Peninsula Study Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).The ROD identifies the alternative selected for the section that extends from approximately Exit 247 in the City of Newport News to Exit 242 in York County.
For more information on the implementation of the proposed section, please visit the project web site: http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/hamptonroads/interstate_64_capacity_improvements_-_segment_ii.asp
Information regarding the implementation of future operationally independent sections will be provided on this web site.
Record of Decision - Section II
Record of Decision - Section II
Project Updates - Section I
On April 21, 2014, FHWA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) for the first operationally independent section to be advanced from the Final Environment Impact Statement (FEIS). This section is approximately six miles within the termini located west of Exit 255 (Jefferson Avenue/Route 143) in the east and just east of Exit 247 (Yorktown Road/Route 238) in the west. Since the issuance of the ROD, VDOT has advanced planning and design of the first section. This advanced work has identified the funding for improved shoulders within the section. These improved shoulders could accommodate additional capacity during peak hours and other select times, in addition to supporting emergency access along the interstate. Given this new information, VDOT plans to submit a Request for an Amended Record of Decision (Request) to document the planned change in implementing an interim build condition of the first operationally independent section. Prior to submitting the request, VDOT made the draft document available for public review and comment.
The formal request and the anticipated ROD will be posted to this web site when they are available.
For more information on the implementation of the proposed section, please visit the project web site:

What is an open forum citizen information meeting?
An open forum citizen information meeting (open house) encourages one-on-one discussions in an informal setting. This style of meeting has an easy, open and encouraging effect on citizens and can be very helpful in building a sense of consensus between the Department and citizens. At the meeting, people familiar with all facets and features of the project visually display their information. The purpose of the open forum may be to suggest solutions or may simply be to give information and facts. The process is highly interactive with technical people presenting and fielding questions from communities, individual citizens or small groups.

Randolph Co. State's Attorney Won't Prosecute Concealed Handgun Cases
People who have a valid FOID card in Randolph County won't be prosecuted if they're caught.
Randolph County State's Attorney Jeremy Walker has says he won't prosecute any law-abiding citizen who's concealing a handgun. The news comes just one week after Madison County officials gave residents the right to carry.
But the State Police and the Sheriff's Association aren't happy with the move because state law still bans guns in public.

Hello All,
I am trying to integrate Zimbar server with another private server.
The private server is actually a simple web application (jsp).
I want to support a single sign on mechanism. This means that if a user already authenticated himself against Zimbar he will not have to do it again against the private server. Where is best place to take a look at the Zimbra project.
Thanks, Ori

|Imagine that you run a nonprofit association with a tiny budget and yourworkers are clamoring for raises, big corporations with deep pockets are luringaway employees with salaries 50 percent higher than you can pay, and turnoverhas reached a staggering 30 percent. What to do?
That was the situation six years ago at the National Association of InsuranceCommissioners, a Kansas City-based nonprofit group that supports the 50 stateinsurance commissioners. "I cannot tell you how hard it is to run anassociation that provides technical assistance to all 50 states in the areas ofinformation systems and insurance when you have a significant turnover problem,"CEO Cathy Weatherford says. "We could not compete on dollars. So we decided tolook at ways to provide a high-quality workplace and have happier employees."
The organization began rolling out a host of inexpensive benefits that offerits 419 workers more flexibility and a better quality of life. The mostinnovative benefit is the "infants in the workplace" program, which allowsemployees to bring babies up to the age of six months to their offices.
The association's insurance carriers and lawyers helped devise a liabilityrelease, which parents are asked to sign. Parents must also have an infant-careplan and designate a coworker to serve as an alternate-care provider for thetimes when a mom or dad is in a meeting. Changing tables were installed in allrestrooms, and a quiet room with soft lights, crib, and rocking chair isavailable for parents who need to retreat with a fussy baby. A grievanceprocedure provides recourse for other employees in case a particular situationgets out of hand. Weatherford says, however, that no one has ever used theprocedure.
"Over the past five years, 33 infants have gone through the program, somefor the entire six months, others just until the parents can make other day-carearrangements. All but one of the parents are still with our organization,"Weatherford says. "The program creates immense loyalty because parents feelthey can maintain their career and still bond with their infant."
Although the majority of the program's participants have been moms, twodads and one married couple--both association employees--also haveparticipated, says association COO Judy Lee.
And far from being a workplace distraction, babies actually have proved to bea stress reliever. "You spend a little baby time and the stress goes right outof you," Lee says.
The program garnered national attention, and the association has providedcopies of it to state insurance departments and companies nationwide.
The association's "no layoff" policy is also important for developing adevoted workforce, as are an array of quality-of-life offerings, including afour-day compressed workweek, flextime, telecommuting, and job sharing. Otherinnovative benefits include a zero-interest computer-purchase assistance programthat provides employees with funds to buy a home PC; a sick-leave "pool"that enables employees to donate unused sick days to a colleague with a seriousillness, and one day off a year to participate in community-service projectssuch as Habitat for Humanity.
In the six years since the association began implementing the quality-of-lifeprograms, turnover has plummeted to 7 percent. "A lot of people who left us togo to a private employer, enticed by a hefty increase in salary, have comeknocking on our door, wanting their jobs back," Weatherford says. "Money isnot the only motivator."

That was a PK, but Robben is partly to blame for his history of flopping. Still, clear penalty.

I think there is only like an 8-10 degree difference between the hottest and coldest months.

Say I have something like this:

Lets say the

 has height of 50, width of 250, and a background of some generic banner.
What I want to do is not to replace it (which implies erasing the original) but rather create an (what I envision to be) absolutely positioned copy except with a background of white and a higher
z-index, rendering the ad invisible.
Think of this as something adblock does, except without toggling off the actual ad, but rather overlaying it with white.
What's the best way to go about something like this?

Barack Obama – Bill O'Reilly Contentious Pre-Super Bowl Interview Discusses Obamacare Failed Promises, Benghazi, IRS-Gate … "Not Even a Smidgen of Corruption" … "These Kinds of Things Keep on Surfacing, Because Folks Like You Will Promote Them."
President Barack Obama and FOX News' Bill O'Reilly went back and forth in a contentious pre-Super Bowl interview in which the president provided few answers. Instead of answering the tough question that not only Americans want to hear, but are entitled to, Obama played the blame game, ducked and dodged, and allowed his thin skin to dictate the non-responsive interview. Obama's attempt to try and put all his administrations scandals behind him, most likely only made matters worse. When being asked questions, Obama actually blamed FOX News for daring to bring up and question such scandals like Benghazi, IRS-gate, Obamacare and the rest of the all too numerous scandals of the Obama presidency. Obama actually thinks the media is supposed to be his propaganda arm. In the end Obama stated that there was no corruption, "not even a smidgen."
Obama addressed concerns over Benghazi, the launch of HealthCare.gov and the IRS, during the interview Sunday before the Super Bowl. He adamantly rejected the suggestion that the IRS was used for political purposes by singling out Tea Party groups seeking tax exemption.
"That's not what happened," he said. Rather, he said, IRS officials were confused about how to implement the law governing those kinds of tax-exempt groups.
"There were some bone-headed decisions," Obama conceded.
But when asked whether corruption, or mass corruption, was at play, he responded: "Not even mass corruption — not even a smidgen of corruption."
Bill O'Reilly's Super Bowl interview with President Obama
Picture: Source Fox News screen grab – Click in Pic to watch VIDEO
I have just one question, why did President Barack Obama agree to do this interview if he did not intend to answer any question or offer anything new other than the same old BS and blame game? It would appear that the folks at Hot Air are asking the same.
Seriously, I don't know why Obama bothered to do this interview at all. The only answer he seemed interested in sharing was that Fox News is a big Meany Channel with Meany Reporters who Keep Asking Questions When I Give The Only Answers I Want To Give.
However, the best question of the interview did not even come from Bill O'Reilly. It came in a letter from Kathy LaMaster of Fresno, California. Kathy asked the fantastic question … "Mr. President, why do you feel it's necessary to fundamentally transform the nation that has afforded you so much opportunity and success?" BINGO!!! This is why Obama has no credibility anymore. Obama tried to say that, "I don't think we have to fundamentally transform the nation" … even though he is the one who said we had to, see video below. Some how the US was fine for Obama to be afforded the opportunity of the first black man being elected president, but he has to fundamentally change it for others. Hmm?
Here is what Candidate Obama wanted for our country when he was running for President of the United States of America. He said that "we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."
O'REILLY: OK. I got a letter from Kathy LaMaster (ph), Fresno, California. I said I would read one letter from the folks, all right?
O'REILLY: "Mr. President, why do you feel it's necessary to fundamentally transform the nation that has afforded you so much opportunity and success?"
OBAMA: I don't think we have to fundamentally transform the nation…
O'REILLY: But those are your words.
Full Transcript of the Interview:
Snippets from interview:
With regards to the disastrous roll-out of Obamacare, President Obama claims everybody will be held accountable. REALLY? No one has been held accountable by this president with anything from Obamacare to Benghazi, from Fast & Furious to IRS-gate. Who is he kidding?
O'REILLY: And I'm paying Kathleen Sebelius' salary and she screwed up.
OBAMA: Yes.
O'REILLY: And you're not holding her accountable.
OBAMA: Yes, well, I — I promise you that we hold everybody up and down the line accountable. But when we're…
O'REILLY: But she's still there.
Obama and O'Reilly spar on Benghazi. The president incredibly is sticking to the story that he called the Benghazi attack a terror attack, even though non-Kool Aid drinking folks know it is a lie. Obama could not answer in a "yes" or "no" manner whether he was told it was a terrorist attack.
O'REILLY: Did he tell you, Secretary Panetta, it was a terrorist attack?
OBAMA: You know what he told me was that there was an attack on our compound…
O'REILLY: He didn't tell you…
O'REILLY: – he didn't use the word "terror?"
Really Mr. President, you did not say it was a terror attack in the '60 Minutes' interview, when you discussed it with Joy Behar or to the United Nations.
Bill O'Reilly's Super Bowl interview with President Obama
O'REILLY: It's more than that because if Susan Rice goes out and tells the world that it was a spontaneous demonstration…
OBAMA: Bill…
O'REILLY: — off a videotape but your…
OBAMA: Bill…
O'REILLY: — your commanders and the secretary of Defense know it's a terror attack…
OBAMA: Now, Bill…
O'REILLY: Just…
OBAMA: — Bill…
O'REILLY: — as an American…
OBAMA: — Bill — Bill…
O'REILLY: — I'm just confused.
OBAMA: And I'm — and I'm trying to explain it to, if you want to listen. The fact of the matter is is that people understood, at the time, something very dangerous was happening, that we were focused on making sure that we did everything we can — could — to protect them. In the aftermath, what became clear was that the security was lax, that not all the precautions and — that needed to be taken were taken and both myself and Secretary Clinton and others indicated as much.
Obama blames the FOX News blame game, good grief, how small of you.
O'REILLY: — but I just want to say that they're — your detractors believe that you did not tell the world it was a terror attack because your campaign didn't want that out.
OBAMA: Bill, think about…
O'REILLY: That's what they believe.
OBAMA: – and they believe it because folks like you are telling them that.
O'REILLY: No, I'm not telling them that.
O'REILLY: I'm asking you whether you were told…
OBAMA: But — and what I'm saying is…
O'REILLY: — it was a terror attack and you…
OBAMA: — and what I'm saying is that is inaccurate.
On the IRS scandal where conservative and Tea Party groups were specifically targeted by the IRS, Obama says there was no corruption, not even a smidgeon of corruption.
O'REILLY: — so you're saying there was no…
OBAMA: — if you are involved…
O'REILLY: — no corruption there at all, none?
OBAMA: That's not what I'm saying.
OBAMA: That's actually…
O'REILLY: No, no, but I want to know what…
O'REILLY: — you're saying. You're the leader of the country.
OBAMA: Absolutely.
O'REILLY: You're saying no corruption?
OBAMA: No.
O'REILLY: None?
OBAMA: There were some — there were some bone-headed decisions…
O'REILLY: Bone-headed decisions…
OBAMA: — out of — out of a local office…
O'REILLY: But no mass corruption?
OBAMA: Not even mass corruption, not even a smidgeon of corruption, I would say.
BTW, how about you wear a tie! Good grief, if you can't act presidential, could you at least look presidential?
Another 'Fast and Furious' Gun Turns Up at Mexico Shootout Scene … "Weapons from the Operation would Likely continue to turn up at Crime Scenes"
Remember this Barack Obama – Eric Holder scandal …
As Yogi Berra used to say,"It looks like it is deja vu all over again." Another gun from the failed Obama/Holder 'Fast & Furious' gun-walking fiasco has turned up at a shootout between Mexican authorities and a Mexican drug cartel gunman. According to accounts, at least one AK-47 found at the scene could be tracked back to 'Fast & Furious'. Isn't this special, the ATF has acknowledged that more guns from this poorly conceived plan could continue to turn up at future crime scenes. Guns from this disastrous operation will be turning up for years to come, yet no one in the administration has yet been held accountable.
A gun from the failed U.S. operation known as "Fast and Furious" turned up at the scene of a shootout between Mexican authorities and alleged cartel gunmen last month, according to CNN.
U.S. officials told CNN at least one AK-47-style gun that could be traced back to the failed gun-walking scheme was found at the scene.
The ATF acknowledged that weapons from the operation would likely continue to turn up at crime scenes.
"ATF has accepted responsibility for the mistakes made in the Fast and Furious investigation and at the attorney general's direction we have taken appropriate and decisive action to ensure that these errors will not be repeated," the bureau said in a statement to CNN.
"And we acknowledge that, regrettably, firearms related to the Fast and Furious investigation will likely continue to be recovered at future crime scenes," it added.

Mavericky McRino John McCain Says "Don't Count Obama Out"
Why "Establishment, RINO" Republicans need to go … Who knew lying was considered a talent to be proud of?
The Hill is reporting that Senator John McCain (AZ-R), says that we should not underestimate Barack Obama and to count a man out of that talent would be a mistake. Just curious Sen. McRino, exactly what talents are you actually referring to? Would it be Obama's ability to not follow the Constitution, to pass executive orders rather than have the Congress pass laws, to have the talents to force such a disastrous law like Obamacare down the throats of Americans, his masterful skills of backing the Muslim Brotherhood in foreign policy that have the Middle East on fire or would it be his keen ability to put a record number of Americans on food stamps? Would it be Obama's talent to divide a country, destroy the very foundation that America was built on or the record spending and $17 trillion debt and counting? Maybe it is Obama's ability to have so many scandals going on in one presidency, that must be his talent. So McRino, which is it?
Obama is not a man of talent, he is a man who is destroying America bit by bit …
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) says people shouldn't underestimate President Obama as he heads into his sixth year in the White House.
He discounted Obama's low approval ratings and said a sitting president always has influence.
"We all wear thin with the American people after a while," McCain told the Associated Press.
"To count a man of that talent out at this point in time in his administration would be a huge mistake," he added.
So let's understand this, we are witness to a sitting president who's cornerstone for his election in 2008 and reelection in 2012 has been a lie that Obamacare is going to provide free healthcare to millions of uninsureds, but it would also allow you to keep your healthcare if you liked it, would allow you to keep your doctors if you liked them and reduce healthcare costs. ALL LIES!!! Now we have a RINO like McCain coming out and defending Obama that he is some formidable individual, are you kidding me? This is exactly what is wrong with the gutless establishment GOP. RINO's think Obama is a "man of talent" rather than a bold face liar!
For the love of God and all things Holy, please, oh please have the GOP 2016 candidate not be a moderate, squishy candidate like McRino and Romney … PLEASE!!!
Gallup Poll: Barack Obama's Greatest Failure … OBAMACARE, His Greatest Achievement … NOTHING!!!
President Barack Obama's presidency in a nutshell … his greatest failure is his signature piece of legislation, Obamacare.
According to a recent Gallup poll, Barack Obama greatest failure of his presidency to date by an overwhelming number of 36% has been Obamacare, followed by not getting along with Congress and working with Republicans (9%), lack of communication (5%), lack of leadership (4%) and so on. When it comes to Obama's failures, there is so many to chose from. You could have answered the questions of Obama's failures, the jobless job recovery, the economy, real unemployment, record number of Americans on food stamps, record $17 trillion debt, wasteful spending, investments in green energy, the scandals (IRS-gate, Fast & Furious, Benghazi-gate, AP-gate, Fox/Rosen-gate, NSA spy-gate), Middle East Arab Spring, Libya, Egypt, etc.
On the other hand, Republicans (50%) and Democrats (25%) alike are most likely to mention Obamacare as the president's biggest failure, although Republicans are twice as likely to do so. This suggests that even Democrats recognize the negative issues associated with the new healthcare law and its implementation. Republicans also cite Obama's lack of communication and lack of leadership as a failure, while Democrats mention his inability to get along with Congress and Republicans, his lack of communication, lack of immigration reform, lack of leadership, and his inability to bring all troops home.
Hey America, did I tell you that you can keep your healthcare if you like it?
I am not quite sure what some of these media outlets like CNN and … are reporting that Obamacare in Barack Obama's greatest achievement and failure. Take a look at the poll below, "Nothing/None" at 23% is #1 as Obama's greatest achievement to date, the ACA/Obamacare is second. Honestly, one would have to be hard pressed to name anything that this president has accomplished that would be considered an achievement and benfit for the United States of America.
Gallup Poll: 72% Say Big Goverment is Greatest Threat to America Than Big Business or Big Labor … Total Rejection of Obama, Nanny State Liberalism
Looks like America might just know tyranny when they see it …
According to the latest Gallup poll, an astonishing 72% of Americans now say that "BIG" government is the greatest threat to America as compared with big business and big labor. WOW!!!
The PJ Tatler makes an astute observation that has a lot of merit, see the chart below and notice when the noticeable upward trend began in 2009. Hmm, what happened then? Of course this boost in Americans fear of big government has everything to do with the so-called "Hope & Change" that they voted for in electing Barack Obama. It would appear that the folks at Hot Air noticed the remarkable trajectory as well. He promised transparency and delivered something quite different. What's the matter America, you have a problem with the IRS enforcing Obamacare? Personally, I think they need to start including the MSM in these polls as well.
America, wake the hell up and make a stand against "BIG GOVERNMENT" liberalism or it will be here to stay. Elections matter, get out and vote against it if you feel strongly against it!!!
Seventy-two percent of Americans say big government is a greater threat to the U.S. in the future than is big business or big labor, a record high in the nearly 50-year history of this question. The prior high for big government was 65% in 1999 and 2000. Big government has always topped big business and big labor, including in the initial asking in 1965, but just 35% named it at that time.
The latest update comes from a Dec. 5-8 poll. Gallup has documented a steady increase in concern about big government since 2009, rising from 55% in March 2009 to 64% in November 2011 and 72% today. This suggests that government policies specific to the period, such as the Affordable Care Act — perhaps coupled with recent revelations of government spying tactics by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden — may be factors.
I would also add this upswing has in part to do with a bunch of gutless, establishment RINO's who think that it is more important to sell ouch their Republican principles and protecting "We the People" as opposed to retain their power.
MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry Says "Obamacare" Is Same As Using The "N" Word … The Liberal MSM Playing the Race Card as They Play Chief WH Propagandists
WOW, when I first watched this VIDEO I thought it was a SNL parody skit. Then realized this lib was actually being serious. I guess she went to that media/WH meeting about how to shill for Obamacare! Yup, NO MEDIA BIAS HERE …
Five years later, two elections later, record number of Americans on food stamps, real unemployment at all time highs, median household incomes at all time lows, job participation at all time lows, the Middle East in chaos, greater terror threats to America than ever before, millions of Americans losing their insurance, premium costs skyrocketing, scandals like IRS-date, AP-gate, Fast & Furious, NSA-gate and the liberal MSM is using the race card with the blessing of the Obama White House. MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry is saying that by saying "Obamacare" is the same as using the "N" word and you are a racist. In a cheer-leading Obama rant that would have made Joseph Goebbels blush, she suggested the term "Obamacare" and the N-word are interchangeable, claiming both were "conceived by a group of wealthy white men who needed to . . . render [a black man] inferior and unequal and diminish his accomplishments." Hmm, what was Reaganomics, Romneycare, Hillary-healthcare? What about Voo-doo economics? Were all these racists too? It's called political discourse you IDIOT!
How very sad that liberals in the media continue to try to divide America and make everything about race in an attempt to stop people from criticizing a disastrous law by calling them racists. A note to MSNBC and Melissa Harris-Perry that have you taken a look at how "We the People" feel about Barack Obama? There is a reason why Barack Obama is at an all-time low in the polls, down 23% with Hispanics, down 17% with Non-Whites and down 14% with women, are they racist too? Are the millennial's who voted overwhelmingly for Obama in 2008 and 2012 racist too, 57% disapprove of Obamacare and 52% want it repealed..
HARRIS-PERRY: "I want to talk today about a controversial word. It's a word that has been with us for years. And like it or not, it's indelibly printed in the pages of American history. A word that was originally intended as a derogatory term, meant to shame and divide and demean. The word was conceived of by a group of wealthy white men who needed a way to put themselves above and apart from a black man, to render him inferior and unequal and diminish his accomplishments.
"President Obama has been labelled with this word by his opponents, and at first he rose above it, hoping that if he could just make a cause for what he'd achieved, his opponents would fail in making their label stick. But no matter how many successes that he had as president, he realized there were still many people for whom he'd never be anything more than that one disparaging word — a belief he knew was held not just by his political opponents, but also by a significant portion of the American electorate.
"And so he decided if you can't beat them, you've got to join them. So he embraced the word and made it his own, sending his opposition a message they weren't expecting: 'If that's what you want me to be, I'll be that.'
"Y'all know the word that I'm talking about. Obamacare! That's right! I said it and I'm not ashamed, and neither is President Obama!" (More HERE)
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) Says of the Obama Administration: "I Think the Current Administration Has Taken Lying to a New Level"
Senator John Cornyn is finally on board with Scared Monkeys … Barack Obama is The
Lion Lying King …
Last night on the Kelly File's, Megyn Kelly discussed with Obama sycophant and National Press Secretary for Obama's 2012 campaign Ben Labolt about Sen. Cornyn's comment that, "I think the current administration has taken lying to a new level." In typical Obama/Saul Alinsky fashion, Labolt attacked Republicans for the failures of Obamacare. Pathetic. Then he went on to lie and say that Obama apologized for lying to Americans, that they could keep their healthcare plan if they liked it, Period! Of course Kelly was quick to correct the Obama mouth peice to say that what the president said was that he was sorry that people found themselves in the situation they are in because of something he said. And of course there was the typical "blame Bush" attack. What a pathetic bunch of people who just are incapable of telling the truth and owning up to it when they are caught red handed.
Come on America, I think it was pretty obvious that Barack Obama, Democrats and their minions mislead and lied to the American people.
Sen. John Cornyn says the White House has been lying about the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, and accused them of a cover-up.
"I think the current administration has taken lying to a new level," Cornyn said during a Google hangout on Monday in response to a question about Benghazi.
Cornyn praised the work of House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, who has tried to subpoena information and witnesses from the State Department. The senator said Congress should use "all the tools available … to hold people accountable."
"It's harder when the administration decides to cover this up and mislead and to change the subject, which they seem very good at doing, but … I assure you we're not going to let this one go," Cornyn said. "To me that's the one thing that I find most aggravating about what's happening in Washington these days and particularly about this administration, which is a lack of accountability and the willingness to mislead people or provide them just demonstrably false information and expect to be able to move on."
AP-GfK Poll: What a Sad Commentary of Today's Society, Two-Thirds Say People Can't Be Trusted … #You Lie
When did "Trust" become a 4-letter word … Who will be the role models?
As the AP article says, 'In God we trust, maybe, but not each other'. How sad. What a sad commentary on where our society has gone where Americans don't trust each other anymore. It is one thing to have blind trust and rose colored glasses, it is quite another to have trust be remain skeptical and always question. However, the trust trends, or lack thereof have rose dramatically in the last 40 years. I think it is no surprise that it would be based on the Watergate years. But what has changed in that respect where people would think at the very least that their President could set the image of trust. But that is certainly not the case today as Americans found out that Barack Obama was lying when he told "We the People" that if you liked your healthcare plan, you could keep your healthcare plan, PERIOD! That coupled with all to many scandals like IRS-gate, AP-gate, Fast & Furious, Benghazi-gate, NSA-gate, Rosen-gate, etc. How could people really trust when they see all of these lies going on around them?
But it is larger than just politics. We need something to reverse the trend so that individuals want to trust others.
These days, only one-third of Americans say most people can be trusted. Half felt that way in 1972, when the General Social Survey first asked the question.
Forty years later, a record high of nearly two-thirds say "you can't be too careful" in dealing with people.
An AP-GfK poll conducted last month found that Americans are suspicious of each other in everyday encounters. Less than one-third expressed a lot of trust in clerks who swipe their credit cards, drivers on the road, or people they meet when traveling.
"I'm leery of everybody," said Bart Murawski, 27, of Albany, N.Y. "Caution is always a factor."
Does it matter that Americans are suspicious of one another? Yes, say worried political and social scientists.
What's known as "social trust" brings good things.
A society where it's easier to compromise or make a deal. Where people are willing to work with those who are different from them for the common good. Where trust appears to promote economic growth.
Trust has to be earned, it does not grow on trees. And once trust is broken, it takes years, sometimes forever to repair. So, is it too late to reverse this trend? Some say that it is. Is it possible to go back to a simpler time and instill not only trust, but values in people to act accordingly? The question really is, who will step up and play the adult to make "TRUST" a valued principle?
In fact, some studies suggest it's too late for most Americans alive today to become more trusting. That research says the basis for a person's lifetime trust levels is set by his or her mid-twenties and unlikely to change, other than in some unifying crucible such as a world war.
People do get a little more trusting as they age. But beginning with the baby boomers, each generation has started off adulthood less trusting than those who came before them.
The best hope for creating a more trusting nation may be figuring out how to inspire today's youth, perhaps united by their high-tech gadgets, to trust the way previous generations did in simpler times.
There are still trusters around to set an example.

Fox News Sunday: George Will Compares Barack Obama to Richard Nixon … "Has There Ever, With the Exception of Richard Nixon in 1973, Been a Worse First Year of a Second Term?"
So much for Obama being like Reagan or Lincoln, the comparisons are more like Richard Nixon … OUCH!!!
On Fox News Sunday during the panel discussion, George Will hammered Barack Obama's first year of his second term as president comparing it to that of Richard Nixon's second term. Will went on to say that he cannot even use the Clinton pandering of "I feel your pain". Will opined, "It's one thing for Bill Clinton to say 'I feel your pain.' It's another thing for Barack Obama to say, 'I feel your pain that I have caused.'"
"It's one thing for Bill Clinton to say "I feel your pain." It's another thing for Barack Obama to say, "I feel your pain that I have caused." … We this week marked the one year anniversary of his reelection. Has there ever, with the exception of Richard Nixon in 1973, been a worse first year of a second term?"
Video Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit
Note to MSM, Benghazi-gate and IRS-gate are far worse than Watergate. Why don't you actually cover them like you mean it! Hot Air adds to the scandalpalooza that is the Obama presidency.

Barack Obama Approval Rating Sinks to New low in NBC/WSJ Poll … 42% Approve – 51% Disapprove
How low can he go … after having lied to America regarding Obamacare, "If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep your healthcare plan. period!" My bet is that it will go even lower …
According to the most recent NBC/WSJ poll, Obama's job approval rating is down 5% this month to a new low of 42%. The Gateway Pundit reports via NBC's Chuck Todd's tweet, Obama's persona; approval rating upside down for first time ever with 41% viewing him in a favorable light and 45% viewing him negatively. We have said for years that Obama's approval rating would be in the 30′s if the liberal MSM just did their job and reported the truth and the news about Barack Obama, rather than be is propaganda shills. The MSM is just starting to fairly report on Obamacare and Obama's lies.
Imagine, just imagine what Obama's approval ratings would be like if the MSM decided to truthfully report on Benghazi, IRS-gate, the economy, the $17 trillion debt, Food Stamp America, Fast & Furious, the NSA, Energy policy, EPA, Obamacare and Obama's disastrous foreign policy in Egypt, Libya, Syria and the entire Middle East. This man has been a catastrophe for the United States.
President Barack Obama's approval rating has declined to an all-time low as public frustration with Washington and pessimism about the nation's direction continue to grow, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Just 42 percent approve of the president's job performance, which is down five points from earlier this month. By comparison, 51 percent disapprove of his job in office — tied for his all-time high.
The NBC/WSJ pollsters argue that no single reason explains Obama's lower poll standing. Rather, they attribute it to the accumulation of setbacks since the summer — allegations of spying by the National Security Agency, the debate over Syria's chemical weapons, the government shutdown and now intense scrutiny over the problems associated with the health care law's federal website and its overall implementation.
As for other results from the NBC/WSJ poll, from the looks of how individuals feel about Congress, incumbent and establishment politicians should be a bit nervous heading into 2014 and 2016. The people may have finally reached the tipping point and will throw the bums out.
Read Full poll results HERE.
Real Clear Politics has every poll with Obama's job approval rating underwater and an average of 43.9% approve, 51.6% disapprove and -7.7% spread.

Berbice River Bridge on schedule for Tuesday opening
The Berbice River Bridge will be opened to the public on Tuesday, as work continues at the structure. Despite heavy rains, works were ongoing at the bridge on Thursday last.
Bert Carter, one of the Directors of the Bridge project, said that, as was scheduled, the bridge will be handed over by the contractors on Monday and will be opened to the public on Tuesday.
He added that the inclement weather has been causing some disruptions to works, but this is not a major hindrance, he added.
While the access road on the eastern side of the bridge has been completed, there are still substantial works to be done on the western end.
However, this newspaper was told that at least one lane of traffic will be facilitated on the western side. Chairperson of the project, Geeta Singh-Knights, had said that assurances were given that the road will be prepared in order to facilitate vehicular traffic by the opening date.
Just under three weeks ago, the bridge was closed to marine traffic, as testing of the Retractor Span began. These tests have since been conducted 'smoothly.'
The Berbice Bridge Company Incorporated (BBCI) has said that the contract for the construction of the bridge stipulates that the contractors are required to test the Retractor Span to confirm that everything is working properly.
The Retractor Span of the bridge is 70 metres long, the same as the Demerara Harbour Bridge.
There will be a scale at both ends of the bridge, and only vehicles weighing a maximum of 40 tonnes can traverse the bridge.
The formal opening will, however, be held next year January.

CBC Cuts Budget by $130 Million, Resulting in 657 Lost Jobs
CBC/Radio-Canadais cutting $130 million from its budget this year.
The budget cut will result in the loss of more than 650 jobs over the next two years, according to CBC. It will also take the network out of competing for the rights to broadcast professional sports (except for sporting events of "national significance" such as the Olympics).
The budget cut was necessary due to funding shortfalls and revenue losses, CBC says.
"Very tough and controversial choices needed to be made and were made," CBC president and CEO Hubert Lacroix said at a townhall meeting today.
Forthcoming changes include fewer original series, fewer high-cost reality shows, no more late night news in the North, and the abandonment of expansion into the London market.
But the layoffs won't solve everything. A Vancouver-based National Post reporter, for example, made a poignan observation:
Worth noting that the CBC director who just fired 600 people continues to live in a different city than his workplace ... and bills for it.

Abbas aide says Palestinians 'keeping the door open' for talks until April 29, but if it becomes apparent talks have collapsed, they will resume recognition campaign.
Associated Press
Published: 04.07.14, 18:39 / Israel News
Associated Press
RAMALLAH - The Palestinians are ready to sign up a "state of Palestine" for additional international agencies and treaties - a step Israel views as highly provocative - if US peace efforts collapse after an April 29 deadline for a deal, a senior official said Monday.
The warning by Mohammed Ishtayeh, an aide to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, came as US mediators tried to defuse
the worst crisis in the negotiations since Secretary of State John Kerry persuaded the two sides last summer to resume talks for nine months.
Under the terms of renewed talks, Israel promised to release 104 long-held Palestinian prisoners in four groups, while the Palestinians said they would suspend a campaign to sign up Palestine, recognized by the UN General Assembly as a non-member observer state in 2012, for as many as 63 UN agencies, treaties and conventions.
Related stories:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that "we are ready to continue talks," while condemning the Palestinian moves.
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators met for several hours Sunday in the presence of a US mediator. The US Consulate in Jerusalem said the meeting was "serious and constructive." Another meeting was planned for Monday.
Also Monday, the director of a telecommunications company, Wataniya mobile, said Israel informed him it would not allow him to transfer equipment to Gaza. Fayez al-Huseni said Israel told him to hold off until further notice but that no reason was given. An Israeli official speaking anonymously because he is not allowed to brief the media about the issue said the ban is in response to the Palestinians move with UN bodies last week.

A presentation of fine Art Photographs
Ever since I was a young man I was creating art work. There was no medium that I didn't explore. Oils, water color, ink, pastels, and pencil, were just a few, however photography kept coming on strong, and it eventually took over as my main hobby. Everywhere I went I took a camera with me and captured images. My life centered around photgraphs, and still does today. Early on I educated myself by studying the photographs of Alfred Steiglitz, Edward Weston, and Ansel Adams, just to name a few. Black and white photos were the main medium back then, so I did plenty of it, and eventually became proficient in making large B&W prints. Color photography eventually took over and became my strong point. Soon, I was creating excellent quality color fine art prints in my darkroom. I welcomed the digital revolution in photography enthusiastically. Today my darkroom is now a computer lab, allowing me to let you see it my way.

Greg Senyo's PA Trout Retreat
Over the past 11 days Greg Senyo and I had the pleasure of hosting three groups of anglers at Greg's brook trout paradise in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania. Plenty of larger than average brookies were hooked, lost and landed. What a trip!
This is what we came for! Allegheny Brookies
After seeing the previous days photos Dave, Len and Bill unpacked pretty quick
Several Michigan Ale's were consumed during our time in PA
Bill with a solid PA Brook Trout
Greg poses with Dave for a quick grip and grin.

The first group had ideal conditions… The creek was dropping after a short highwater period and sunshine was non existant for nearly three straight days. The overcast conditions worked in our favor.
After 4 days of overcast conditions and rain group 2 rolled into town with sunshine in tow.

After a night of heavy rain fall the river was down to 12″ of viz. It sure helped the streamer bite.
Greg and I plan on hosting several of these trips next spring.
The lodging and fishing is limited to 4 anglers per group

I instantly fell in love with the chic updo Nicole Richie wore to the FiFi Awards Monday night. She sported a voluminous wrapped bun situated high atop her head, and finished the look with long fringy bangs.
This hairstyle is perfect for the wedding day, especially when you consider the major bridal bun love fest happening right now! Richie's bun updo has a cool 1960's glam feel, and it's hearty enough to stand tall from the first look to the last dance.
Here are three fabulous tutorials to help you steal Nicole Richie's look...
Would you wear this vintage-glam updo for your big white aisle debut? Do you love it? Why or why not?

A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I have followed MTstars for years, so I know that the majority of the negative company posts are chalked up to lazy/arrogant MTs who won't take anything not on a silver platter. This stuff is called WORK, people. Anyway, I just want to say I'm not one of those. I have worked hard and diligently in this profession for years, but I want to save some people the anguish and chest pain that Nuance has given me, so I'll share my story while keeping everyone involved protected.
I worked for Focus for 2 years when they were bought out by Nuance. Not only did Nuance raise the insurance premiums ($768 for spouse plus 1!?!?), instilled a bogus and unreachable incentive plan and fired constant QA and production bull crap into our colons, they up and fired my TL from Focus, saying she wasn't doing her job, when we were the HIGHEST QUALITY team they had. TL got replaced with the operations manager (never worked production in her life, came from Medquist). She didn't want to have to "take care" of the accounts, so she hired a slew of newbie MTs at all shifts at the new bs Nuance pay (remember all the Nuance ads a month or so ago?). Not only have the new MTs chewed up all the work, every report has to be done twice- once by MT, once by QA. Quality and TAT has plummeted.
Also, we don't have teams anymore. Instead of one group of girls taking care of their own accounts, we've been cross trained on 6 diff accounts. Have you ever tried to keep up with 6 account specs WHILE being on the clock WHILE having to make an hourly production WHILE being driven like cattle to whatever account has work at that moment? It's absolute madness. These guys don't even have basic management skills. I put in my 2 weeks and of course, got a call begging for me to stay. They offered me a shift that I would be "guaranteed" to have work and basically said they'd leave me alone. I withdrew my resignation 3 weeks ago. I regret it because it's back to the same ole cracking of the whip.
This is how Nuance is running their company now. If anyone is tempted to go with them, PLEASE heed my word and look elsewhere. They will offer you the WORLD but trust me, I know of at least 30 girls that have left Nuance and gone on to greener pastures. Upper management is crap. They're on salary and don't care if you can make a living or not. I've got set up with a new company and am quitting Nuance the second I get settled. Nuance is going to run itself into the ground if they keep on losing their well-established accounts and mistreating their MTs. I just hope that everyone can get out before they go under.
As for any MTs or QAs from Nuance wanting to tell me I'm full of crap and that their departments aren't like this at all, it's only time that this trickles to every crack of the company workforce.

Nokia will stop shipping Symbian phones this summer
12 June, 2013
Nokia will stop shipping Symbian smartphones this summer, thus leaving the revered 808 PureView as its last developed product on the "burning platform." Going forward, the only smartphones manufactured by the Finnish giant will boot Microsoft's Windows Phone OS.
Nokia pointed long development of Symbian devices as one of the reasons to halt their production. According to the manufacturer it takes 22 months to bring a Symbian product to the market, compared to less than a year for a Windows Phone handset.
Of course, there is also the matter of the number of units sold. Nokia moved only 500,000 Symbian smartphones in Q1 this year - significantly less than the 5.6 million Lumia devices sold during the same period.

We see addiction as a three-part illness that attacks the mental, spiritual and physical aspects of each individual that suffers from this disease. We also view addiction as a system problem because everyone who is involved with the addict is impacted in some way by this disease. In order to successfully treat our clients; we have integrated key components within our treatment program to assist with healing and repairing the damage that has been done.
"We are prepared mentally, physically and spiritually. We know what we need to do to be successful. We are learning how to integrate our recovery. We learn how to take care of ourselves and overcome our obstacles." – CS - Client
"Having only Tribal members here helped tremendously. We are really from another country so we needed a place that was designed just for us. The entire format is based on our history. Everything is catered to our backgrounds and culture, which helps us to learn what we need to and internalize it." – JB - Client
"When you're on the reservation, you're not in Florida even though you're in Florida." – MF - Client
Because of the diversity of legal problems that our clients present with, we have learned how to work with the courts and probation collaboratively. We have our own Marchman Act specialist who can provide follow-up and file extensions for clients whose families have begun the process of getting treatment for their loved ones. We also assist with completing requirements of DCF case plans. We work with Felony Court, Drug Court, assist with the process of reinstating as well as first time Driver's Licenses and Community Control Probation.
We provide tutoring and support with educational pursuits through our collaboration with the Seminole Tribe's Department of Education. While at John's Place, our clients have learned how to read and write, gotten their GED's and even begun the process of higher education. We have tutors that come to our facility throughout the week. For a client that has never been able to read or write and has felt shame because of this for most of their life, being able to read their first sentence is life changing.

I am working on a c++ win32 program that involves a keyboard hook. The application is a win32 project with no user interface whatsoever. I need to keep the application from closing without using causing the hook to not work or use up a bunch of system resources. I used to use a message box but I need the application to be completely invisible.
Any help would be appreciated!
