The Veterinarian
One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering, the pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing $1,000. It happened again the next week! --
The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw an elderly woman put the distinctive pink envelope on the plate. This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her.
"Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the collection plate," he stated.
"Why, yes," she replied, "every week my son sends me money, and I give some of it to the church."
The pastor replied, "That's wonderful. But $1,000 is a lot; are you sure you can afford this?
How much does he send you?"
The elderly woman answered, "$10,000 a week."
The pastor was amazed. "Your son is very successful; what does he do for a living?"
"He is a veterinarian," she answered.
"That's an honorable profession, but I had no idea they made that much money," the pastor said..
"Where does he practice?"
The woman answered proudly, "In Nevada...
He has two cat houses, one in Las Vegas and one in Reno

During a debate on a Senate Bill, the following was noted and the video below gives the data behind it.
o Global warming ended in 1998.
o There has been no global warming in 15 years.
o From 1978 - 1998 global warming was replaced with global cooling.
o The Antarctic ice sheet has been growing - not melting.
o Sea level is rising 7" per century - not 20 ft.
o Snowfall is not below normal. 4 of the past 5 years have set snowfall records.
o CO2 cannot cause global warming. Reason: There's so little of it.
o Severe storms are not more frequent, nor due to global warming. The data shows severe storms are actually declining.
o The oceans are not acidic, but rather alkaline.
o Global warming and global cooling occurs normally and has been going on for millions of years.
Not mentioned in the video below is the fact -- brought out by Attorney Constance Cumbey based on her extensive research into the emerging New Age Movement -- that they decided many decades ago not to use politics or religion, which are too divisive, to try to bring the world together into a new world order.
Instead, they would use the environment to serve as their banner to rally around. Hence the current often heated emphasis on so-called "climate change" and the push for the nations to comply using exaggerated, misleading and often false data out of attempts to make the science fit their cause.
To view the data presented to the Senate, watch the video below .................

Loretta Lynch on the Senate's HOT SEAT
HOT SEAT: Senate Poses Serious Questions to Obama's Attorney General Loretta Lynch
June 25, 2017
Let's face it: The investigation into Donald Trump's "collusion" with the Russians is an almost-uniquely one-sided affair. It's Democrats (and a few NeverTrump Republicans who want things to go back to the way they used to be) going after a GOP president they despise.
It's a political, partisan investigation that is meant to do nothing more or less than muddy the waters ahead of the 2018 and 2020 election cycles. It's a fundraising effort, essentially, and it's a stain on our democracy. And for a direct comparison, you can look at what a real investigation looks like.
The one that's taking shape in the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding Obama's attorney general, Loretta Lynch. Last week, a bipartisan group of senators on the committee sent a letter to Lynch asking her a few pointed questions about her involvement in the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's improper dissemination of classified material. These senators included Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham, but they also included Democrats Dianne Feinstein and Sheldon Whitehouse.
The questions they posed to Lynch – with a deadline of July 6 – include:
- "Did anyone from the FBI ever discuss or otherwise mention to you emails, memos, or reports such as those described in these media reports?"
- "During your time in the Justice Department, did you ever have communications with Rep. Wasserman Schultz, her staff, her associates, or any other current or former DNC officials about the Clinton email investigation?
- If so, please describe the communications and provide all records relating to them."
- "To the best of your knowledge, did any of your Justice Department staff or your other associates communicate with Rep. Wasserman Schultz, her staff, her associates, or any other current or former DNC officials about the Clinton email investigation?
- If so, please describe the communications and provide all records relating to them."
The committee opted to open this preliminary investigation into Lynch's actions based on the testimony of former FBI Director James Comey, who said that he was concerned about the AG's impartiality due to several controversial moves on her part. One of them, he explained,
- came when she asked FBI officials to describe the Clinton case as a "matter" rather than an "investigation," mirroring the Clinton campaign's rhetoric regarding the email scandal.
- Another was, of course, the gobsmacking incident in which Lynch met privately with Bill Clinton on an airplane in Arizona.
- And there was a third incident, believed to be Lynch's contacts with a Clinton campaign staffer, that Comey declined to discuss in the public forum due to issues of classification.
When Clinton was excused from any charges of wrong doing last summer, a great many political observers – not all of them Republicans by any means – knew the fix was in. Now a bipartisan committee is looking to get to the bottom of what appears to be a cut-and-dried case of politics-before-justice. And by the time their inquiries are done, Loretta Lynch may not be the only one forced to answer some very tough questions.

MORE destruction of historical property planned for July 1st
Far Left Antifa Thugs Are Planning to Desecrate Graves and Burn Flags at Gettysburg on July 1st
Paying idiots sufficient money to destroy others' property - in this case the property of Americans in general - can achieve one's socialist anti-America ends and contribute to incitement toward civil war - WHEN will law enforcement in this nation put a STOP TO THIS? Free speech and the 1st Amendment is one thing, but outright destruction of that Amendment through disrespectful unlawful actions is quite another. Teach the 'judges' this as they, too, are disrespectful unlawful idiots and as*holes.

The violent far left group has been vandalizing Confederate monuments across the country this year.
More Antifa rioting in Washington DC on Inauguration Day
(Andrew Marcus) Harrisburg100 reported:
Over the past few weeks, several US cities have been a hotbed of controversy over the removal of several Confederate monuments. After decades standing sentinel over New Orleans, the last of four Confederate monuments have been removed after being labeled as "Monuments of Racism and Hate". (States rights and the north's excessive taxation of the southern cotton producers were the key reasons for the war, with 'slavery' a portion of. The 'slavery' issues continues to be purposely blown way out of proportion to the true root causes of the war. In fact, the Negroes on BOTH sides voluntarily fought in the war, some remaining on their current side and some crossing to fight on behalf of the opposing side. The deliberate destruction of the civil war monuments does little more than illustrate the ignorance of those facts and the disrespect of the peoples' property, and does nothing to resolve any issues of the war itself.)
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said of the removal of his city's monuments: "To literally put the Confederacy on a pedestal in our more prominent places—in honor—is an inaccurate recitation of our full past, is an affront to our present and it is a bad prescription for our future". The next state to follow in the footsteps in the movement is Arizona, where leaders call for the swift removal of six Confederate monuments around the state…
…A local group of self-proclaimed anti-fascism activists called "ANTIFA" are planning on holding a rally at Gettysburg National Battlefield on July 1st in protest of President Trump and asks it's members to "Bring and Burn Confederate Flags".
The reasoning behind why this group picked the date and location for their rally is for the importance Gettysburg played in the American Civil War.
The Battle of Gettysburg started on July 1, 1863, when Lee's Army of Northern Virginia met General George Meade's Union Army of the Potomac. During the three-day battle, about 165,000 soldiers clashed in and around the small town of Gettysburg. When the Battle of Gettysburg was over on July 3, 1863, 51,000 soldiers were casualties (killed, wounded, captured or missing) in what remains the largest battle ever fought in North America.
There are approximately 1,328 monuments, markers and memorials that stand in both the cemetery and battlefield to commemorate the Union and Confederate troops who fought there.
In removing any monument or marker of history, to what purpose does that serve? History in every corner of the world while oftentimes ugly and heinous, still serves a purpose. It is a remembrance to learning from our past and not condemning ourselves to repeat it.

To The Leaders On The Earth
By Anna Von Reitz
I shall place two angels, one before you and one behind you.
The one before shall guide your steps and light the way you are to go and clear the way so that nothing shall stop you nor impede you for very long while you walk on the path I shall show you.
The one behind you shall watch your every thought and step and prod you to do what is right as a master goads his ox, but if you are stubborn and will not yield, and continue on your own way, this following angel shall strike you down and end your power.
This is the rule of the righteous: the act justly and walk humbly, in accord with the Will of Your Father and The Lord Our Righteous Savior, from now on.
You shall not worry nor hunger after earthly things, nor ask yourself, "What am I to do?" or "What am I to say?" The favor of the Lord shall be upon the righteous, and He, Himself, will guide you so that all men marvel and ask--- "Who is this, who brings this message to us?"
So long as you walk in the path I will show you, you will prosper and those, too, who are under your care. No harm will come to you. Indeed, upon the Earth, you will be known as The Blessed. Those who speak against you will fall silent and those who seek to do you wrong will come to their own ends.
But surely if you do not heed the angel who follows after you, you will be held to account for your hard-heartedness and greed and you will lose the portion of honor and riches already set aside for you.
And so it is said, by the Lord Most High.

----have been found, alive and well, and right where they ought to be.

We are of a completely different jurisdiction and character and political status as peaceful American "vessels" engaged in International Trade, permanently domiciled on the land and soil of the organic states, and we require that our assets be returned to us and held harmless from any claim of debt related to the District of Columbia Municipal Corporation, its franchises, heirs, or assigns.
The Titles held against these bankrupt municipal corporate entities dba via ACCOUNTS designated by what appear to be names in the form: JOHN MICHAEL DOE and the corresponding territorial Foreign Situs Trusts dba John Michael Doe are hereby redeemed and reclaimed, re-conveyed and re-venued by the lawful owners to their natural jurisdiction on the land and soil of the organic states of the Union.
All titles held under color of law and subjected to both probate and bankruptcy proceedings under false pretenses must be returned to the lawful owners of record no later than July 4, 2017 by action releasing them from any further presumption of municipal or territorial citizenship absent actual proof of: (1) a properly executed Death Certificate with a plainly stated title of "Death Certificate" stating the time, place, and manner of death signed off on by a competent coroner; (2) proof of actual paid employment by the municipal or territorial government, including position, supervisor, hours worked, job assignments, place of employment, departmental affiliation, and other details establishing actual, true employment by a federal municipal or territorial entity; (3) proof of voluntary "personhood" together with stated proof of intent and full disclosure as required by Public Law; (4) proof of colored person status established by DNA analysis accompanied by a voluntary waiver of equal civil rights provisions; (5) proof of political asylum or voluntary seeking of federal benefits under conditions of full disclosure.
The United States District Court for the District of Columbia, by and through Judge Thomas Hogan, has been given prior Notice of the living status of the American states dba Alabama State, Alaska State, et alia, and of the American people who have returned en masse to the land and soil of their birth. Copies of the Notice given have been and are being again presented to the Office of the Prosecutor at the World Court, along with a written and signed copy of this Judicial Notice of Claim, and will also be presented to the Pope, Queen Elizabeth II, and published for the world at large.

Podesta to Testify IN SECRET!!
June 28 2017
All of the MSM's are reporting that the House intelligence Committee plans on interviewing embattled John Podesta later this week. Podesta served as Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign chairman.
What is disturbing is that Podesta's testimony will be held in secret because usually when something is done in secret, there is something definitive to hide. Indeed, the secrecy aspect is very troubling on a number of fronts. James Comey recent testimony was carried on every network. Attorney Jeff Sessions testimony was carried on every network. Yet the Podesta testimony will be held in secret and the participants will not be able discuss their testimony with the public. Why the discrepancy? The answer is as simple as the nose on your face. The House Intelligence Committee is doing the work of the Deep State and are protecting them from further exposure as to their collective forays into child-sex-trafficking. Podesta, literally and figuratively knows where all the bodies are buried in this heinous arena of subhuman, Satanic behavior called the Deep State.
Voice analysis is showing that the man in this video matches up to the voice of John Podesta
Please forward the following Youtube video to the 18:45 mark. The evidence presented purports to be John Podesta's voice as he violates and tortures a child. Listen and observe the evidence.
Will Podesta be Questioned About Nick Bryant and the Franklin Scandal?
Over 8 years ago I interviewed Nick Bryant, the author of the book The Franklin Scandal. Among all the scandals in the book that were revealed included the fact that many newly elected members of Congress are implicated and framed in sex scandals involving children after they are first elected and this takes place at a location called the Franklin House. The tapes that are made can be used as leverage against the congressmen at a later and more convenient time. Bryant's work has stood up to extreme scrutiny through the years.
Three years prior to Nick Bryant's work, I was told the same thing by the late Bill Pawelec who had done some contract work for the CIA. Vance Davis, a personal friend who is formerly of the NSA and a recent interviewee on The Common Sense Show, on multiple occasions was a part of these discussions. Bill's wife, Annie DeRiso, was my News Director for six years and was also privy to these discussions.
Subsequently, we have another motive as to why the Podesta hearings will be secret as some of these congressmen will have a lot on the line given some of their collective and nefarious past.

Bill's wife, Annie DeRiso, was my News Director for six years and was also privy to these discussions.
Subsequently, we have another motive as to why the Podesta hearings will be secret as some of these congressmen will have a lot on the line given some of their collective and nefarious past.
Podesta feels the walls closing in and he is a wounded animal who is likely desirous of taking everyone down with him. No doubt he blames fellow Democratic Congressman for Hillary's defeat because they did not do enough. These are very strong motives that lead to secrecy.
Relevant Background
Podesta drew some much unwanted attention last year when thousands of his emails went viral as they were released on WikiLeaks a few months prior to the 2016 election.
Many in the Independent media believed that the Wikileaks emails, a few short weeks, caused more damage to Hillary Clinton's campaign than what Comey's FBI did with the revelation that Hillary "grossly" mishandled over 33,000 classified emails.
Most in the Independent Media (IM) are keenly aware that Seth Rich was finished off at the hospital. This is an omnipresent claim from the IM.
Many Feel that Podesta Made the "Leaker" Pay With His Life
As previously reported on The Common Sense Show, after the Wikileaks emails appeared, Podesta stated "let's make the leaker pay". And as history would have it, Seth Rich was murdered a few short days later. It was later discovered that Rich was the "leaker". As has been widely and previously reported, Podesta was prominently linked to the organization known as Pizzagate whose euphemism was altered to pedogate. In other words, Podesta was, and remains, a strong person of interest in the child-sex-trafficking allegations connected to Pedogate.
Reportedly, Podesta will meet with the House panel in a private session. He is one of the first set of key witnesses to appear before the House panel to testify about the 2016 election. The committee is expected to question Podesta about the leak of his emails that goes back many years. They are particularly interested in his emails connection to Russian influence in the election and possible tampering. At least this is what the House Intelligence Committee is saying. In reality the House Democrats are very nervous about another factor.
Liz Crokin
Liz Crokin, writing for the Hagmann Report produced a very revealing article in support of the claims made in the above mentioned paragraphs as evidenced in the following:
"John Podesta and a group of Democrats called for Rep. Steve Scalise to resign shortly after he began his efforts to combat human trafficking as the Majority Whip of the House."
And what was Scalise doing at the time he was attacked? He had sponsored a bill on child-sex-trafficking which was to be heard on the day that he was shot. This puts a whole new light on the assassination attempt on Scalise at the Congressional baseball team practice.
It is as plain as the nose on your face as to why the Podesta testimony is being held in private and it was my distinct privilege to connect these dots as to why this is so. Do you need any more motivation than to clean house on Congress in the mid-term elections? This is assuming our country makes it that far.

- mike. June 28, 2017 at 4:07 amI believe ALL of Congress needs to be removed. They let a foreigner run this Country for 8 years and did NOTHING. They are ALL complicit, bought and paid for, and if Russia dropped a bomb on D.C. No one would weep. They are above the law, corrupt to the corp. if they have not been bought out, they will be. Americans are sick of the politicians, their unjust taxes, their butchering of babies and their promotion of Sodom and Gomorrah. Nothing will come of the podesta hearings, except more coverup. That a–hole should be locked in a dungeon with all the rest of the perverts.
The fox certainly is guarding the hen house.
(MANY in CON-gress may be EXPOSED for the satanic devils they are when Podesta testifies and more questions come forth demanding answers. Let's RID THIS NATION of these evil perverts. DEMAND that the DOJ, the CON-gress and the President's Administration pursue this to its fullest extent with FULL punishment - including DEATH - for those involved in these heinous crimes against the innocent defenseless children and the people of this nation. GET INVOLVED! MAKE YOUR DEMANDS AND VOICES HEARD IN THIS CASE! THE NEXT CHILD TO BE ABUSED, TORTURED AND MURDERED COULD BE YOUR OWN! Don't be one of those to stand before our Lord God Creator YHWH and have to answer to Him that YOU DID NOTHING!)

Just food for thought
Submitted by one of our readers just for fun ....
Just food for thought
I want to start a new Religion and here is our belief.
We will worship a Meteorite and it's god Meter-maid. Meter-maid will protect us in our sadness and madness. When you are in trouble just call out, 'Meter-maid'. If you die in battle you go to paradise and get 72 days of free parking.
We will conquer the world by putting 10 to 15 million of our military age men in each of the rich nations of the world. You know the ones that will feed, shelter, give money to us, and make sure that everyone in our new nations respect us and our Religion.
In this religion we don't believe in the three R's, just one R, rape just one of our Religious beliefs, so that most of our members don't need to be very smart. We have no skills to work but we will smile at the natives for their kindness or stupidity, not sure which one fits.
It's helpful if you like to lie, steal, rape, stone others to death, show a complete disrespect for others, even your own family members, and we would be obligated to cut the heads off anyone that get in our way or doesn't believe what we believe, even family members.
You can save a lot of money on toilet paper and just use you finger and wash it of in a near-by drinking fountain when away from home.
You will have to lie if asked by your host country if you will follow their laws or Constitution, as our membership can not do that because we are superior to them and they will need to change and follow our laws and beliefs or we just kill them.
If members are too smart, they won't blow themselves up killing other people. Always remember it's easier to kill women and children as they are helpless against our superior strength.
We will out number all of the military and police in that country.
When the time is right we will take out the police first and then start killing anyone that is not one of us or willing to be one of us, or is not a good enough one of us.
Hopefully, we would soon be the only ones left on the planet. Praise be to Meter-maid.
Because of our superiority all countries should welcome us until their dying day.
The US is going to be the toughest one, though, as many people there have guns.
What? There is already a Religion doing this? They need to go. We are the superior ones.

What are internally displaced people?
The purpose of this article is to show that there exists codes and statutes for the smooth running of our (collective) government (which has been hijacked) and then there is everything else!
The following video will help you understand the scam in connection to the DMV suggestion that everyone must have a driver's license to travel!
Note that this Con applies to every de facto 'Government' agency of the UNITED STATES or the De facto states (US Sub Corps).
The scheme enabled the people and the states to be incorporated and lifted into the de facto DC UNITED STATES Corporate jurisdiction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ6mqBZEzfo
A Woman Who Drives Without a License

~ there is "the state" and we are everything else
Internally displaced people (IDPs)
According to the Guiding Principles of the UNCHF/Brookings Institute:
The term "internal displacement" describes situations in which individuals and groups are
1) forced or obliged to leave and remain away from their homes, but
2) remain within the borders of their own countries
The second element distinguishes them from refugees, who are also involuntarily displaced but across internationally recognized state borders.
Internal displacement occurs typically in response to armed conflict, persecution, situations of widespread violence, natural and human-made disasters and, more recently, large-scale development projects.
Your citation did not arise "in this state" or "in the state."
As regards the responsibility of states affected by internal displacement, the Guiding Principles rest on two key tenets:
- Sovereignty entails not only the right of each state to conduct its own affairs but also the primary duty and responsibility to provide protection and assistance without discrimination to its population, including the internally displaced, in accordance with international human rights and humanitarian law.
- While those displaced within their own country remain entitled to the full protection of rights available to the population in general, displacement gives rise to particular vulnerabilities on the part of those affected. Therefore, and in order to ensure that the displaced are not deprived of their human rights, states are obligated to provide special measures of protection and assistance to IDPs that correspond to these vulnerabilities in order to ensure that IDPs are treated equally with respect to non-displaced citizens.
All taxing laws relate to the taxing forum. Under the STATE OF CALIFORNIA references to these so called "laws" can be found mostly in the Revenue and Taxation Code. The location of that forum of the STATE OF CALIFORNIA is described as: Definitions by corporate Federal "State" for "in the state", "in this state", "in the state", "within this state" and "this state".
Note that each STATE OF STATE is a De facto Corporation Subsidiary of UNITED STATES Corp. successor to UNITED STATES c. 1871 which has authority only over the 68.34 square miles of the District of Columbia.

Introduction into how Americans went from Freedom back into slavery under the Crown, Vatican UNITED STATES Corp. c.1871.
"You never change things by fighting the existing reality.― R. Buckminster Fuller
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
William Casey (CIA Director) 1981 Quote: "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false."
NOTE's from THE CORPORATE NATION video:
The Corporation Nation is the United States of America, U.S. Incorporated. Owned and operated by unknown entities but believed to be controlled by agents of the Crown and Vatican controllers.
The United States is comprised of over 185,000 incorporated state, county, city, town, municipality, district, councils, school district, pension fund, enterprise operation, lottery, alcohol monopoly, and many other private and for-profit corporations, which have mistakenly been called our "representative government".
The hidden wealth and investment totals for all of these "collective" 185,000 corporations (governments), when added together, equate to well over $100 trillion dollars, over $26 trillion in just pension fund investment assets.
A trillion dollars is a million million dollars.
With these investments, the government owns controlling ownership interest in all Fortune 500 companies, most major domestic and international companies, and most of everything you see around you ..... malls, mini-malls, strip malls, golf courses, movie theaters, etc…
'Federal lands' include about 87% of all state land, 97% of Utah land, 95% of Nevada land, etc… This is all easily verifiable by looking at the general accounting system of government, as required by federal law, called the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, or CAFR.
The "Corporation Nation" documentary proves all of this without a shadow of a doubt.
This documentary is free. It will never be for sale, and needs to be seen by all Americans.
Within this documentary is the government's own admission of corporate governance and fascism. It will not only astound you, but it will also answer just about every question you ever had with regards to the question of why…
…why is every law and every bill passed by the legislature unconstitutional?
…why has the government deregulated all industries and allowed monopolies and corporate tyranny?
…why can banks charge as much interest as they want, despite state laws against usury?
…why was the "Obama-Care" health care bill passed, and who really profits from it?
…why is our infrastructure and land being sold off to private and foreign corporations?
All of these questions will be stunningly clear once you have watched this documentary movie. And with this information you will now possess, you will never again be left to wonder why anything happens in 'government'… Because you will see first hand that the 'government' owns the corporations that it regulates through stock investment.
Government votes for each corporation's board of directors.
Government votes on whether each company should merge with or acquire other corporations.
The government is the corporations it governs by controlling stock ownership.
Please watch The Corporation Nation. Pass it on, download the film, make copies, and pass them out to everyone you can. For this is the only issue any of us should be focusing on… For this is the root of corporate fascism in America.

We love the '90s fashions - vintage and newish
Photo: Anna-Alexia Basile
Love them or hate them, the 1990s are having a moment. (Just ask tech public relations firm Sparkpr, which hosted a dot-com bubble-themed party - really.)
While some young fans of 1990s style might not have fully experienced it the first go-round, they are far from "clueless" about its characteristic comfort and gender-neutral hallmarks, from rubber-soled Dr. Martens to vintage plaid shirts that still smell a bit like teen spirit. Bubbles aside, here are how San Francisco locals are inspired by the decade that brought both Barney and Britney, using "authentic" (read: thrifted) and new(ish) finds.

4 October 2011 at 10.34am | Comment on this article
As an excited eight year old boy struggled to hold the weight of a real and comically oversized (deactivated) rifle, the Thurrock Community Chorus members filed onto the glass balcony to perform to a waiting audience of families who had never been to the Royal Opera House before. The ensemble then launched into a few short pieces with energy and enthusiasm including the 'Anvil Chorus' from Il Trovatore to an extremely warm reception from the crowd. Thus began the first Welcome Performance of the season.
It was certainly a day of exciting contrasts. The event for families on Saturday not only brought together a broad range of backstage departments to give the new audience an insight into the time, work and energy that is invested in putting a professional performance on stage, but also brought together The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera companies for a very rare combination of short productions - 'Rubies' from Balanchine's Jewels, and Puccini's Gianni Schicchi.
Aside from the music and movement workshops in the ballet studios and the free backstage tours available for ticket holders, there was also the chance to see the Royal Ballet dancers warming up in their morning class – from stretching at the barre to full-on leaps and lifts.
Away from the studios, the thrilled audience - most of whom were bringing young children for their first experience of a big theatre - had the opportunity to see real rubies courtesy of Van Cleef and Arpels, delicately displayed on the model of the stage set for the ballet. They also had the chance to dress up in a dazzling array of opera and ballet costumes, try their hand at playing the violin, get creative in the design workshop, listen to the story of the opera on comfy beanbags and even talk to professionals about how they might get a job here one day!
It was a day full of wonder, excitement and memorable experiences, topped off with a fantastic double-show by our resident professional companies. Thanks to the generous support of Gregory and Regina Annenberg Weingarten through The Annenberg Foundation, there were many, many smiles

text: Author examines how political leaders in Washington and Beijing are interpreting the future [EPA] Inquiring minds scattered across the world have been pondering whether Washington elites are sneakily slouching towards Beijing - as in eventually focusing on China as the ultimate bogeyman and catalyst of the Pentagon-denominated Long War. It's as if Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention Libya and the fight for African resources, were mere pawns in the master chess game of the 21st century featuring the US and China. The Arab Spring, in its early Tunisian and Egyptian chapters, led to the impression that the neo-conservatives promoted 'clash of civilisations' was over. But the 2012 race to the White House has revealed that it is a return of the living dead. With the troubling add-on that Washington reserves for itself the right of nuclear first strikes against any possible confrontation with competitors - China and Russia. So it's time to back off and examine how the leadership in Washington and Beijing is interpreting the future. Exhibit A is China's Peaceful Development, a white paper released by the State Council Information Office, the cabinet at the heart of the system in Beijing. Exhibit B is America's Pacific Century, a wittily-titled essay published by Foreign Policy magazine and written by "global superstar" (according to CNN) and smart power practitioner US Secretary of State Hillary "We came, we saw, he died" Clinton. Readers are strongly encouraged to read both documents and draw their own conclusions. Don't rock my domestic boat First a word on how Beijing works. The 370-member Central Committee - including ministers, provincial leaders, the top military brass, heads of state companies - is a sort of mega-board of directors of the Chinese Communist Party. The Central Committee selects the 25-member Politburo. And the Politburo selects the nine-member Standing Committee, the holy of the holies. It's fair to assume the white paper has been commissioned and approved by these gentlemen. The Politburo and the Standing Committee are responsible for the Communist Party's tight grip on the Chinese state, the economy, the civil service, the military, police, education, the media, and last but not least, the carefully constructed official narrative of how China finally got rid of repeated historical humiliations by foreigners and is now a resurgent civilisation. The white paper has a crystal clear objective; to explain the Chinese model - and the mind-bending subtleties of "socialism with Chinese characteristics" - to the West. The target audience is Washington and London, Paris, Berlin and Rome. Yet the fact that Western corporate media barely noticed - not to mention discussed - the paper is already troubling. The white paper stresses China's "strong collective consciousness" and "sense of social responsibility" as much as the "multipolarity" of international relations. At the same time, in a subtle nod towards Washington, it rejects a "dangerous cold and hot war mentality". Three ultimate fears prevail in Beijing's narrative. 1) A hardened Cold War mentality blinding the West; 2) The possibility of a trade war with the West; 3) Luan ("chaos") of the political kind, provoked by outsiders who resent China's phenomenal economic success. Even while discussing foreign policy, the paper makes it clear China's top priority is domestic stability. China's interpretation of foreign investment, for instance, is that it is welcomed as long as it enhances domestic stability. Thus everything is subordinated to "harmonious development" - Chinese President Hu Jintao's trademark doctrine. "China's top priority is domestic stability." - Pepe Escobar That even implies, in the future, mechanisms to allow the Chinese people to "supervise the government" - something that in the West may be interpreted as democracy, even though not related to Scandinavia's. While Beijing endlessly worries about domestic stability, the paper also stresses how dangerously easy it would be for a global economic crisis to force countries - another nod to Washington - to go to war. So, essentially, Beijing wants "a peaceful mainly economic development in a peaceful multipolar world". Yet the multi-trillion dollar question is whether the 'Atlanticist' West will let it happen. Hillary's concerns Hillary's essay is bound to express the views of the State Department, which may not necessarily be shared by the Pentagon and the CIA. For all the smart power rhetoric, the stress is on "continued American leadership well into this century". Beijing will also be slightly disturbed that "our treaty alliances with Japan, South Korea, Australia, the Philippines and Thailand are the fulcrum for our strategic turn to the Asia-Pacific". Hillary feels obliged to nod to her "Chinese counterparts, State Councillor Dai Bingguo and Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi", as they have been engaged in "candid discussions about important challenges like North Korea, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and developments in the South China Sea." "Challenges" is the understatement of the century; China and the US fiercely disagree on all these dossiers. A measure of wishful thinking is at hand, as in "we look to China to take steps to allow its currency to appreciate more rapidly, both against the dollar and against the currencies of its other major trading partners." It won't happen - and Beijing has already made it clear. As in a Freudian slip, Hillary let it know that "Europe, home to most of our traditional allies, is still a partner of first resort". And then "we move forward to set the stage for engagement in the Asia-Pacific over the next 60 years". So what is it going to be; a special relationship with Europe and just "engagement" with Asia-Pacific? Unlike Beijing in the white paper trying to address the West's concerns, Hillary only seems bothered to address Americans. What she does not say, but leaves implied, has more impact than the text itself. The eternal notion of the US as the indispensable nation. The barely disguised feeling of "danger" about the rise of China. The US in Asia as a benevolent outside power. Beijing would have noticed there is not a word on Washington's global drive to control remaining sources of oil, while trying to make life to Beijing as hard as possible. Not a word on the Pentagon-defined "arc of instability": from the Maghreb to - you guessed it - Western China. Not a word on the "need of strategic stability" for the Indian Ocean - which will put the US on a collision course not only with China but also with India. "Unlike Washington and Tehran, who never talk to each other, at least Washington and Beijing are talking, even if past one another." - Pepe Escobar Not a word on the US Navy's 2007 maritime strategy - "sustained, forward presence" in the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific. Or the US Marine Corps 2008 "Vision and Strategy" - covering up to 2025 - defining the Indian Ocean as a privileged theatre of conflict. Unlike Washington and Tehran, who never talk to each other, at least Washington and Beijing are talking, even if past one another. Beijing has already announced its peaceful intentions. But when it looks at Africa - and sees its trade and commercial deals being counter-acted by a Pentagon-led militarisation drive - the conclusion is self-evident. One can only hope that the parties will keep speaking softly - while carrying no big stick. Pepe Escobar is the roving correspondent for Asia Times.

I hardly remember the original Robocop movie other than I thought he looked freaking cool. The upcoming remake of Robocop may have die-hard fans worried but I'm always for any sort of movie that marries futuristic weapons with robots and humans.
This sizzle reel shows some concept art for Robocop along with director Jose Padilha's thoughts of the whole thing. Joel Kinnaman, who's going to be Robocop, also pops up to discuss his take on remaking the movie. Are you guys excited for this movie or do you worry that it's going to ruin everything?

How to measure
No matter what type of blind you require, measuring your windows is easy with our simple instructions.

- Pen and paper
When the blinds are required to fit inside the window recess.
Select this option if you wish to supply the size of the recess into which the blinds will fit. To provide this measurement, select "inside recess" as the measurement option. This will require measurement of the window in 3 places, as shown to the right; please provide us with the smallest measurement.
On all blinds except Roller Blinds and Vision Blinds we will deduct a small amount to ensure the blinds clear the sides and bottom of the recess, allowing for correct operation. We will make an approximate deduction of 10mm from the width, 5mm off each side and up to 10mm from the drop. On Roller Blinds and Vision Blinds we only allow approximately 2mm deduction on width measurement as this will lessen the fabric gap.
- The actual fabric width will be APPROXIMATELY 32mm LESS than the width you supplied..
- The GAP at each side is not the same. The gap at the control side is slightly wider than the other side.
- Do NOT order using fabric width.
Minimum Depth required for RECESS TO FIX BRACKET.
This is a guide with an understanding that the minimum depth for the bracket may mean that the blinds and bracket will sit outside the window recess.

When the blinds are required to hang outside the window recess.
For all types of blinds follow these instructions if you want your blind to hang outside the window recess:
- Measure the exact width of where you'd like your blind to be. We recommend the blind overlaps the window by at least 50mm to a 100mm on each edge depending on the space you have. If you have an architrave we recommend measuring from outside of architrave to outside of architrave. Note the measurement.
- Measure the exact drop from the top of where you want your blind to be to the bottom. Please note we recommend 50mm to a 100mm above the window opening depending on the space you have. Note the measurement.
Roller Blinds Important Information
- The finish blind will be made EXACTLY to the width you supplied.
- The actual fabric width will be APPROXIMATELY 32mm LESS than the width you supplied..
- The GAP at each side is not the same. The gap at the control side is slightly wider than the other side.
- Do NOT order using fabric width.
- All of our blinds are made to measure. Please follow the instructions carefully. Make sure you take your measurements using a STEEL rule or tape.
- Take all your measurements in millimetres (mm).
- When measuring, always look out for things like window handles or tiles and take their position into account if necessary, to ensure a perfect fit.
- When taking measurements please follow this helpful rule - "measure once, measure twice and measure again to be sure!".
- All of our blinds can be fitted into the face of the window frame or wall, or into the top of the lintel. This gives you complete control over the positioning of your blind.
How to install
Blockout Fabrics, as the name suggests are designed to 'block-out' the harsh, fading sunlight when needed. They are ideal for rooms in which persons need to sleep or where there are paintings or furniture which could be damaged by hard sunlight.
Translucent refers to fabrics which allow in the natural light but do not allow you to see the outside view through them. They function much like opaque glass. The light comes in but they provide excellent privacy.
Sunscreen Fabrics are designed to allow outside vision into the room or area they're shielding but reduce the amount of heat and glare which gets in. They're ideal for areas where you want to enjoy light all year around but want to maximise the capacity to shade in Summer, in particular.
No, we are an online supplier only, all our customers do the installing themselves.
Yes, on our website you can order free samples and we will ship it for free.
Yes we can supply those please make note of this in the comment section of your order.

A last-minute cancellation gives us little chance of filling your room, which we have been turning away other bookings in honor of your reservation. For this reason we uphold a strict policy. Reservations must be cancelled 15 days prior to arrival. 30 days for guests renting 2 or more suites or cottages (see Groups). After that, no refund is possible regardless of reason. If we have luck filling your entire vacancy, you will receive a refund less a $30 processing fee. You are still responsible for any days of your reservation we are unable to fill. We do our best to fill the rooms in your stead, but must hold to our minimum night policy where applicable, even when trying to fill your vacancy.
Rescheduling a Reservation
If you reschedule a reservation less than 15 days prior to arrival, it is still considered a cancellation, and subject to our cancellation policy. (Please see Cancellation Policy).
Early Departures
If you leave before the date scheduled for departure or if you do not show for your reservation, you will be charged for the full amount of your reservation. No Refunds.
Reducing the number of days of a stay is considered the same as a cancellation and you will be subject to the same policy as stated above. The minimum stay requirement will still apply.
Gift Certificates
Lake Lucerne Resort & Ranch, Peabody House and the Inn at Rose Hall Gift Certificates are valid for one year from date of issue. Gift Certificates must be mentioned when you make your reservation. Once a reservation is made with a Gift Certificate, it may not be rescheduled. The Reservations made with Gift Certificates are not changeable. There are some restrictions that apply to all Gift Certificates The Certificate must be presented at the time of check in.
Non-Refundable or Cancelable Holidays
Major Holidays, including Valentine's weekend, and some major festivals, are not cancelable at any time after the reservation is made. You will be charged in full for canceling these holidays and festivals:
Valentine's Weekend, as determined by the Innkeeper
Memorial Weekend
Blues Festival Weekend
Fourth of July Weekend
Labor Day Weekend
War Eagle Weekend
Thanksgiving Weekend
Christmas Week
New Year's Eve
Weather Cancellation Policy
You may cancel due to dangerous driving weather the day before or the day you are due to arrive. We do not accept weather as a cancellation excuse anytime prior. We do check current weather conditions. If you must cancel your reservations due to weather conditions, you have the choice of rebooking at that time or taking your deposit as a gift certificate, good for 3 months from the date issued, which becomes non-refundable and non-transferable.
Reserving The Right to Terminate Your Stay
Your reservation is not a renter's agreement ~ you may be asked to leave the property or be removed from the property due to any sort of behavior that we deem unacceptable.
Wedding packages for 2-4 people require the package to be paid for at the time the reservation is made.
Wedding packages that include 6 or more guests require a deposit of $150, which is non-refundable and non-transferable.
Room reservations for wedding packages must be cancelled 30 days prior to the arrival date for a refund less $30 booking fee. If cancellation is made less than 30 days before your reservation date you will be held responsible for the full payment for the full amount of the stay unless your reservation(s) can be filled.
Unregistered Guests or Visitors
The Peabody House and the Inn at Rose Hall do not allow unregistered guests in guest rooms.

Please register with the innkeeper all guests who are visiting our off-site cottage locations.
No-Smoking Policy

Instructions and directions are mailed or emailed upon making a reservation.
Check Out
11 am for all of our properties. For the courtesy of our cleaning staff and the next guests arriving, please be prompt. $50 charge per hour for delayed checkouts.
Children & Infants
The Inn at Rose Hall, Peabody House and Rivendell Cottage cannot accommodate infants or children. Well-behaved children are welcome at our Lake Lucerne Resort & Ranch as well as our Cricket Cottage.
A replacement fee will be charged for any items missing from a guest room or cottage upon the date of check out, including fixtures, towels, bedding, and decorative items.
By making a reservation, you have agreed to all of our policies, including agreeing that any and all damage to our property that occurs during your stay, including replacement or repair cost to damaged furnishings or fixtures, stained sheets, towels, bedding, rugs, etc, spa tubs or showers overfilled causing water damage, will be charged to the card of the registered guest responsible for that room or cottage. We reserve the right to determine to what extent the items can be repaired, dry cleaned, or if they need to be replaced. This is not negotiable.
Extra Fees will be charged for:
Moved furniture – PLEASE put all indoor and outdoor furniture back where you found it.
If excessive cleaning is required, as we deem necessary.
Kitchens in our cottages left untidy. We have priced our cottages as low as possible, and we view our kitchens as an extra privilege – please clean up the kitchens after yourselves.
No parties are allowed on any of our properties – a party consists of more than the maximum occupancy for the cottage being present and will warrant extra use/cleaning fees starting at $100.
Items Left Behind
We only return items left behind if they are requested. This protects the privacy of our guests. Please email or call as soon as you know you are missing something.
With the large number of items left by our guests, and the rising mailing costs, we ask that you be prepared to cover the postage with a credit card number when you call.
We ask that you be patient in receiving your item back. It can take up to three weeks before we are able to send your missing items to you. Thank you for your understanding.
PRIOR arrangements must be made for all pets for our 4 pet-friendly cottages: Rivendell, Cricket, Clovertree, and Gingerwood. Please note this in the Special Requirements box or email the innkeeper.
Unannounced Pets will be subject to steep fees if found in non-pet cottages or rooms.
We ask that you not leave your pet in your guest cottage unattended. Pets must be crated while you are away from the cottage.
Since we do not yet charge a pet fee or deposit, you are responsible for picking up after your pet, including kibble, droppings outdoors, and fur. We provide a vacuum in each cottage so you can take care of any fur left behind. Please bring a sheet to cover the bed linens, should your pet sleep on the bed with you, or to cover the furniture.
Clean up fees start at $25, as we deem necessary. Steep cleaning fees will be levied for messes left by un-house trained dogs. Consider closing off bedrooms with carpeting (which several of our cottages have) when you are in the cottage. Even the best-behaved dogs will make mistakes on carpet in a new environment.
You are responsible for your pet(s) behavior. Pets must remain on leashes or under owner command at all times while on inn property.
Our Geese & Ducks
Please do not feed our birds any people food, including bread, cereal, rice, pasta – they can be offered fruit or fresh veggies. People food shortens their life spans significantly.
We do have grain for our ducks and geese located down at the waterfront. You are welcome to offer them a handful.
Please contact the office immediately if you see an injured bird or any wildlife on our property so we can assist it, including fishing line snags or fish hooks embedded.
Fishing at Lake Lucerne
An Arkansas State Fishing License is required. We are a catch and release lake. You can find Bass, Blue Gill, Crappie, Perch, Catfish and Grass Carp.
Please clean up all fishing gear and trash, including all snags.

I attempted to look at the source code for Melissa on a website. I clicked on the link to load the page which was in .txt format, and NAV brought up an alert saying there was a virus on my system.
My question is, how did NAV show the alert when the code was simply in .txt format and wasnt even on my computer. .txt files cant be used for viruses can they?
I just noticed that the files NAV alerted me to were the .txt files stored in the history. Even so, a .txt file cant run a virus can it?


text: While humans may not appreciate the benefit of a cold, brisk day outside (much like it has been in Maryland lately), there are some animals that certainly enjoy the cold weather in Maryland… seals! Every winter we receive questions from Marylanders about groups of seals spotted along the coast for extended periods of time, wondering if this is a common occurrence or something officials should be monitoring. We're very glad you asked, and happy to share more information about seals. Seals are seasonal visitors to Maryland during the winter months, and will even travel as far south as North Carolina. They prefer a cold-water environment and often travel south from subarctic areas in the winter months. These mammals are semi-aquatic, which means they like to spend part of the time in the water, and part of the time on land. They will typically spend multiple days swimming south, only to haul out on beaches, rocks or docks to rest for 24 hours or more. Seals will also haul out on exceptionally stormy or sunny days – this gives them a chance to wait out the stormy seas or soak up some warm sun, depending on the weather. If you're lucky enough to see a seal on the beach in Maryland, it's best to give the animal a lot of space – at least 100 feet, or about the length of six standard cars – and stay downwind of the animal if possible. Disturbing seals by making them change locations or flee back into the water is against the law, as they are federally protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Aside from being illegal to approach them, it is in your best interest to keep your distance! Even though they look very cute and innocent, we must remember that they are wild animals. Take a look at the teeth on this furry guy: So how do you know if a seal is just resting or possibly stranded? A healthy, resting seal will typically be resting in a "banana position," on its side with its head or rear flippers in the air, like this: A seal that is entangled in marine debris or has physical wounds and may be in need of medical attention will often be resting flat on its stomach. If you see a seal that may be in need of medical attention, please call the National Aquarium's Stranding Hotline at 410-373-0083, or Natural Resources Police at 1-800-628-9944. By all means, enjoy watching the seals and take plenty of pictures, but please do not disturb them – they have had a long commute from the north!

Massachusetts. Connecticut.
Recently, Iowa, and now, Vermont and the District of Columbia.
Marriage equality is a reality in all four states and the District.Four states out of 50—the battle is just beginning. And the biggest prize yet, California, lies in the hands of the California State Supreme Court. Will they issue an opinion upholding Prop 8's legality as a legitimate amendment to the state's constitution, or will they stand by their original May, 2008 decision that extends marriage to same-sex couples?
We won't wait for the California Supreme Court to decide—we're taking it straight to the young people of California, specifically to young Asian Pacific Islander Americans. Polls show young people tend to "get it." We want them to help explain it to a group of people who were statistically more likely to be against marriage equality--churchgoing, older, English-language limited, recently-immigrated Americans of Asian descent: their parents.
API-PFLAG in collaboration with PFLAG National (with support from their $1,000 Diversity Grant) is offering a college essay scholarship contest to graduating high school seniors and returning college students in LA and Orange Counties.We need your help to spark an intergenerational dialogue that could change hearts and minds. We need your help because we can't afford to write off any community. We need your help, because there are many closeted APIA youth and allies without a voice, and we need to make it safe for all to stand up and say marriage equality is for everyone. That started with API-PFLAG, PFLAG National, Lambda Legal, the Asian Pacific American Legal Center, and a host of other co-sponsors and allies within and around the APIA community. We hope we can count you among our community, as a friend and ally.
Help us meet our $5,000 scholarship goal. Please donate whatever you can. No donation is too small. (PFLAG L.A. Fed Tax ID: 95-3707419)
· For more details about the contest, read previous blog posts: apipflag.blogspot.com
· To donate safely and electronically online: "ChipIn" widget http://apipflag.blogspot.com/2009/02/blog-post.html
· By check, made out to PFLAG Los Angeles. Please mail checks c/o Andre Ting/API PFLAG, P.O. Box 2303, La Habra, CA 90632.
Thank you, from the heart.Sincerely,
Harold Kameya & the API-PFLAG essay contest team

For not particularly good reasons (the narrowing notions of what it means to be Christian, perhaps) Christian-themed movies have a decidely niche, if growing, audience.
So the good news out of Austin's South by Southwest film festival was that "Blue Like Jazz" got some fine buzz from a pretty different demographic.
The film is based on Donald Miller's best-selling 2003 book "Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality," about doubt, culture and Christ. When the film was in danger of not getting made, it was resurrected by a Kickstarter campaign. "Blue Like Jazz" was directed by onetime Christian music guy Steve Taylor (and Denver-raised filmmaker), whose 2006 debut, "The Second Chance," starred Michael Smith as a troubled pastor.

Even though the holidays are winding down, I've been meaning to share some of our family's traditions with you. But, better late than never, right?! So, without further adieu, I give you my grandma's world class peanut butter fudge recipe. Well, it may not be world class, but she was certainly known for her candy making skills in Miamisburg, Ohio where she was affectionately known as The Candy Lady.
My grandma, Mary Braunlin, made a lot of candy every year for gifts. There was even an article in the local paper about her in 1982 where she talked about the tradition and how it started:
Christmas memories of mine date back to 1950 when I married Dr. E.L. Braunlin and moved to Miamisburg, just across from the Miamisburg library on Central.
I never went Christmas shopping. I always made candy for my friends. I remember the first milkman was George Hanson. I sent home some cookies and candy. Don Helriggle, telephone. So it started, every October I would start my candy, freeze what I could and worked right up to Christmas. I made 10 different kinds.
Each year the list grew, postman, doctors, dentists, school teachers, ministers, friends, neighbors, policemen, patients at Dartmouth Hospital, etc.
Then we moved to Evans Ave., new neighbors, etc., but I still remembered my old friends.
My husband one year decided to keep track of what I used. Over 400 pounds of sugar, 55 rolls of Saran Wrap, 10 gallons of shelled pecans besides black walnuts, but he didn't mind. In fact he was always adding names to the list.
When he passed away in 1968, I still made candy until about 1975, my health became a factor. So last year I started teaching my daughter, Rayetta. She now has mastered three different kinds, pralines, peanut butter fudge, and chocolate fudge. So you can see I have some beautiful memories of Christmas, so many friends remember my candy.
Seriously, can you even imagine using over 400 pounds of sugar?!
The World's Best Peanut Butter Fudge
2 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup marshmallow fluff
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Combine the sugar and milk in a heavy saucepan and cook over medium high heat, until the temperature reaches 234 degrees F, or the "soft-ball" stage in candy making. This will take about 10 minutes or so, depending on your stove, and it's important to not step away from the candy at any time because the sugar mixture can bubble up quickly. At 234 degrees, remove pan from heat and add peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla, and combine until smooth. Then pour into a 8x8 pan and allow to cool.
And the key to my grandma's peanut butter fudge: Peter Pan Peanut Butter.
I've tried other brands, but it's never as good unless you use Peter Pan. That's what she used, and although I normally don't buy it {I'm a natural peanut butter kind of girl}, but I do make an exception when it's time to make the candy.
Here are some photos I took when I made my first batch the other day, because if you've never made candy like this before, it can be a bit intimidating. You'll need a candy thermometer, like this one.
Pour the milk and sugar into a heavy saucepan. I used a stainless steel pan with a copper bottom.
Give it a good stir and then turn the heat on. See those tiny bubbles along the edge?
They get bigger, pretty quickly.
And bigger.
And even bigger, so I'd recommend staying put in front of the stove during the whole time you're making the fudge.
Almost to 234! This takes about 10 minutes on my stove top.
Once you reach the magic number of 234 degrees, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract.
Then pour into a pan and let cool. That's really the hard part because, if you're like me, you'll won't want to wait to taste it.
Once it's cooled to room temp, score and cut into small pieces. I usually cut mine into 2 inch squared pieces and individually wrap them in plastic wrap, just like my grandma did.
I've already made this twice in the past week. It's so good, and, as corny as it sounds, each bite reminds me of Christmases as a child, when my grandma made her candy for me. Please let me know if you make some. I'd love to hear what you think!

WasWatching.com Community Standards
In preparation for the anticipated increase in readership of WasWatching.com, documenting (what have always been) the WasWatching.com "Community Standards" seemed warranted. They follow below:
