Part two of the battle between Andrew Lloyd Webber and Ray Repp ended in Repp's favor, when Judge Shirley Wohl Kram ruled that Repp's song, "Till You," was NOT plagiarized from "Close Every Door," a song in Webber's 1969 show and album, Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. According to Michael Riedel and Greg B. Smith's story in the Dec. 5 Daily News, Webber had claimed that Repp, a clothing store clerk, used two bars of "Close Every Door" for his own liturgical folksong, and that Repp could easily have come across the internationally-known score for Dreamcoat. The judge disagreed, which was lucky for Repp, since his guitar-based song reportedly has grossed only $78 to date.
The reason Webber bothered going after Repp is because Repp went after him first. Initially, it was Repp who claimed that Webber used the theme from "Till You" as the theme for 1987's The Phantom Of The Opera. That suit was thrown out by the same judge, who said the two songs were not "substantially similar." Apparently, Webber was so angered by what he considered to be a spurious suit, he warned the clerk that any lawsuit would be met by his own countersuit. With both cases finished, Webber is still considering an appeal on the Dec. 6 ruling.

Indiana coach Tom Crean said he addressed Derek Elston's tripping incident today after watching the film of the game. He said Elston told him it was unintentional. Crean said the two discussed the incident at length, but decided to take him at his word that it was unintentional, indicating that there will be no further punishment for the incident.
UPDATE: So hear is what Crean said exactly.
"I didn't get a good look at it during the game at all. I didn't see it until it was on the film. I brought him up to the plane. He stayed with the same thing. He said to me that he didn't do it intentionally. I know exactly what it looks like. I told him the same thing. When I looked at, it the referee had a good view of it. I didn't argue it. In comparison to (Devan Dumes's intentional foul two years ago) I don't think there is any comparison because there's no question that that was intentional. i wasn't surprised by it. In this situation, it would be highly out of character for Derek to be dishonest or do something of that nature in a negative way. It would be truly out of character, and if he did it would be a mistake. That's the end of story. We got the intentional foul, they got the foul shots. I looked at it. I discussed it with him. But the last thing I'm going to do is break down a trust by accusing a player of something that he says he didn't do on purpose. I'm not trying to put my head in the sand, that's just the way that it is. Again, it would be different if it was something that was after the fact that you see on film. Those are the things that you react a little bit more to. The referee saw it, the referee handled it."

Itching to run
Monday, July 13, 2009
I guess it's been a good week. I know it has.
Yet I feel … unsatisfied.
That seems strange to me. I am involved in things that just three months ago would have been beyond my ability to imagine. If you'd told me then what the next three months would hold, I would have … doubted that it was even possible.
Three months ago, right around now, I was newly online, with my very own laptop that my Baby bought for me from some money he'd inherited. At that time I was checking my email once a day (there was never any there) and checking my bank balance online. And then I'd close it up.
Since then, I have started writing for EmpowHer.com, and have now 18 articles published there, all taken from my website Ncubator.ca, which has 46 articles at present.
I've added this blog with posts from mid-April (starting during the isolationist time period that was, unbeknownst to me drawing to an end) to about a week ago.
I've had a few dozen requests to reprint some of my articles, and have seen some of my articles on numerous different websites.
I was invited to do an interview, and a podcast, within Ncubator's first two weeks of existence.
All of this is fantastic, especially considering how solitary life had been till recently. I no longer feel that if I were to disappear, nobody outside of my immediate family would notice. That is very comforting.
I have done some writing for pay, a couple different copywriting gigs, and now a new writing job for Edubook.com which I am enjoying.
I belong to Facebook, with a bunch of old friends, and am a member and now an administrator (assistant) on Cort Johnson's Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Forums (Phoenix Rising).
I have reconnected with some old friends who I exchange emails with again. And I write, and write and write without vanishing into fog.
So how can I feel unsatisfied?
I have pondered this, it doesn't sound right to me either.
Here's what I think.
I think that it is NOT that I am dissatisfied with any of this. Only a moron could be.
I think it's because, … I just want … more.
This feels more positive. Because it means, I can handle all this stuff that I have going on, and still have time and the ability to move into more things than I'm doing now.
I had been afraid, with each new step, that this one or that one would cause the crash that I feared would be inevitable.
But I am still standing. Not only standing, but beginning to run. And still itching to run some more.

The price of sending mail with a first-class stamp, the kind of postage most consumers use, goes up by one cent to 46 cents — a hike the U.S. Postal Service first announced last October. Postcard postage will also rise one cent to 33 cents.
Letters to international destinations will rise in cost to $1.10, up from the old prices of 85 cents to Canada and Mexico and $1.05 to other destinations. Overall, prices for mailing and shipping services will increase by 4% on average, with priority mail prices rising 6.3%.
The postage hikes come as the Postal Service continues to be plagued with insolvency and is in desperate need of help from Congress.

Plan to upgrade, expand high school hits a snag
As part of its review process, the state
Department of Education
said the school district must make the high school's outside physical education facilities accessible to the disabled. Included among those facilities are athletic fields, tennis courts, bleachers and walkways leading to the facilities.
Bringing those facilities up to federal code isn't included in the $25.3 million approved by voters in June 2004 to upgrade the 35-year-old high school.
"This wasn't in the original plans," said
Friar Associates, the architects for the high school project, are now working on a cost estimate.
At the building committee's meeting Monday night, Straiton said the architects are expected to give an estimate, as well as details of the plan review done by the Bureau of School Facilities division of the state Department of Education.
Other issues raised in the plan review were relatively minor. A few involved submission of documents, including a certificate of operation from the state Traffic Commission.
A violation in the plan review for a building code fire wall requirement likely will be waived by the state Department of Public Safety , said Rich Snedeker , architectural design reviewer for the DOE .
"Technology has surpassed the code," said Snedeker about the quality of building materials proposed in the high school plan.
But the Bethel school district likely will have to comply with the accessibility requirement on outside physical education facilities to get the OK from the state DOE., Snedeker said. The federal Department of Education's
As part of the major renovation of the existing high school building - including a total overhaul of the outdated science rooms - the project includes a 32,000-square-foot addition. The biggest part of that addition is a new gym.
Approval by the state DOE is essential for the town to receive the expected $8.3 million state reimbursement for the project.
The plan review by the Bureau of School Facilities was for phase one of the project - structural and site design - and without the DOE's approval, the district cannot solicit bids.
School officials are disappointed the plan review requires renovations to the outside physical education facilities.
"This was never in the scope of the project," said Superintendent Gary Chesley . "It's unfair to the taxpayers."
The school district, said Chesley, wrote to the DOE's Bureau of School Facilities asking for more information about the requirement and when it took effect. "We have asked to see the law. Is this new?"
First Selectman Bob Burke also is concerned.
"This bothers me. It speaks to me of a lot of money," he said.
The project has already been cut back by about $4 million to stay within budget. With escalating construction and fuel costs, the high school building committee has put together a list of more cuts if bids come in too high.
But Bethel officials were pleased to hear the recent bids for Brookfield's major renovation to its high school came in a half-million dollars lower than expected.
"It's encouraging," said Straiton, vice chairman of the Bethel High School building committee. "All we've heard is that prices are going up." Contact Marietta Homayonpour

Dragon Age: Inquisition's "Trespasser" DLC is an epilogue chapter set two years after the main game.
So you've united a band of adventurers, defeated the villains, and saved the world from utter devastation. Now what? Does the world finally become a better place, or is it you who no longer belongs in the new order? That's the premise behind "Trespasser", the final DLC chapter for Dragon Age: Inquisition. Set a full two years after the main game, this quest brings three new elements to the series: A standalone adventure, an epilogue to Inquisition, and a harbinger of what's coming next in the Dragon Age universe.
"It's something we haven't tried before," creative director Mike Laidlaw explained. "Trespasser tells an entirely new story, set two years after the main game. The story explores what it's like to be a world-saving organization when the world no longer needs saving."
Jumping forward in time after completing the main story, it seems the future of the Inquisition itself is in question. With the threat ended, Orlais now considers the Inquisition unnecessary at best and a potential danger at worst. Meanwhile, the Qunari launch a new offensive, prompting your Inquisitor to reunite his/her party for one last mission.
According to Laidlaw, Trespasser lets you "meet and talk with old friends" in an effort to "decide the fate of the Inquisition you worked so hard to build". Trespasser will launch on Sept. 8, 2015, although exact pricing has yet to be revealed.
Meanwhile, BioWare will release a free Inquisition patch with some handy new features. Players will get a new wardrobe that includes a dozen clothing items with different colors. But one especially handy feature is the "Golden Nug", which lets you sync collectibles across games after completing the main story.
"To take advantage of this," Laidlaw said, "head to the Skyhold Undercroft post game and click the new Golden Nug statue. After you've done that once, every game that's both a) online and b) on the same platform will have a similar statue added to the Undercroft and Haven. Clicking on that statue will sync your current game. This sync is bi-directional and additive, which means that any collectibles will be added to the online collection, even if the character doing the clicking is pre-endgame. It's like new game plus...without having to start a new game."
It should go without saying that this patch and "Trespasser" will mark the end of Dragon Age: Inqusition's content, although it certainly won't conclude the franchise. We'll have to wait and see what comes next, but feel free to share theories in the comments!

US Online Retail Market Analysed & Forecast by Renub Research in New In-demand Study Available at MarketPublishers.com
15 Jul 2013 • by Natalie Aster
LONDON – The online retail marketplace is a rapidly-evolving sales channel in the United States. In the past few years, revenue for the U.S. online retail industry has grown at an exceptional tempo, outperforming the majority of brick-and-mortar retail industries. As internet retailing makes headway, store-based retailers are in the process of downsizing their retail space. Moreover, in an effort to stay competitive, retain customers and protect their profit margins, they tend to create or expand their private label offerings. Online sales of apparel and accessories are now growing faster than any other e-commerce product segment, with the category poised to help U.S. retail e-commerce sales grow.
The adoption of smartphones, tablets and other mobile Internet devices is currently the key growth driver for the industry. With the ongoing improvements in mobile and tablet shopping capabilities, U.S. online shoppers are now finding it easier to make purchases than ever before. Innovative shopping models and subscription loyalty programmes coupled with aggressive promotions are drawing sales away from brick-and-mortar operations.
New in-demand study "United States (USA) Online Retail, E-Retail, E-Tailing Market & Forecast - By Merchandise, Payment Method, & 22 Companies Analysis to 2017" elaborated by Renub Research provides a comprehensive assessment of the online retail market in the United States.
The report reviews the U.S. online retail marketplace and offers in-depth market forecasts to 2017, examines online shoppers in the country, provides detailed market segmentation on the basis of merchandise and payment system, as well as analyses and forecast market shares for each of the segments and companies examined. The research profiles a slew of domestic online retail players, including sales trends analysis and forecasting. The study also contains a thorough analysis of the various drivers and challenges for the online retail business in the United States.

Dalhousie is one of the hottest Hill Stations in Himachal and there is lot to discover round Dalhousie. That is small and very well maintained town in Chamba region of Himachal Pradesh This Picture Journey shares a few of the exciting places around Chamba and the right way to plan a very good in the future tour by way of Khajjiar, Chamba & Chamera and many others.
For years, the only method to get to Chiloé , the big island about two-thirds of the way down Chile's backbone, was overland and by ferry, though this did not cease locals and travelers from heading all the way down to the island all the identical. People come to see picket churches declared UNESCO monuments, the palafitos, or stilt homes, typical of the island, and to strive local foods, like curanto, a beach-cooked clambake-type meal, with shellfish, sausages and two types of potato bread. Now that there are a number of weekly flights from Santiago (connecting in Puerto Montt) on an area airline, you may easily go to Chiloé for the weekend, where you can too refill on thick woven and knitted woolen goods, as well as the local tipple, referred to as licor de oro. – E.

Lovingly called the Golden Metropolis, Jaisalmer is kind of near the border of Pakistan, the westernmost boundary of Rajasthan. Jaisalmer is also quite standard for a camel safari in vast sand dunes of the Thar Desert. One of the most hanging monuments here is the Jaisalmer Fort or the Sonar Quila, a must-visit. Explore the old havelis (mansions), store on the local markets and binge on the lip-smacking food.
A trip in Mexico invokes desires of sun-drenched beaches and drinks with little umbrellas in them, however landlocked Mexico City is the biggest city in North America, and a cosmopolitan playground stuffed with great meals, culture, and art. Each Adele and the Rolling Stones are visiting on tour in 2016, and the NFL is predicted to convey a game to Aztec Stadium through the 2016-17 season. Uncover the town by visiting a new Colonia (neighborhood) each day, from San Angel's cobblestones streets to the museums of Coyoacán, the Venice-like canals of Xochimilco, and the upscale purchasing and eating in Polanco. And if you have to take a break from the hectic city life, lower than a half-hour out of the town is hiking and biking at Desert of the Lions National Park. – C. C.
Hampi is without doubt one of the finest places to visit for its major tourist points of interest, its superb climate and an unique attraction. The last capital of one of the best Hindu dynasties within the historical past of the country, Vijayanagar Empire, Hampi is laidback town, attracting guests who have an interest in history. This place is kind of well-liked for its temple ruins, which have been built approach back throughout the 14th century.

1987 Holden Barina ML G13A 1.3 litre carb from Australia and New Zealand
A great first car, don't get one if you are tall though!!!
Engine is fine, apart from some timing issues and needs a good tune-up.
Seats were dirty when I got the car and the drivers seat has a large tear in the side.
Right indicator circuit has been badly rewired when an alarm was installed and the right indicator light on the dashboard doesn't flash with the outside indicators.
Some surface rust is developing on parts of the body that are still in primer.
There is no spare wheel in the boot under the floor.
It has quite a small boot, and there isn't much headroom for people over 5'5"
General Comments:
The car does great wheel spins in the dirt! It's gearbox is tough and the clutch hasn't complained yet.
I have only done 24k's in it though so I haven't really been able to test it out yet.
I'm going to end up doing some mods to it later on, I'm even thinking of a Suzuki Swift GTi engine transplant! Then add a small supercharger (i hate turbos!) and then it will scream!!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

These oats are as pure as can be. Normally oats are steamed before being turned into flakes, but Rude Health`s sprouted oats are simply rolled - that`s it. This means that the flavour is more oaty and complex, the texture is creamy but with a delicious bite. Why sprout? What`s more nourishing than a grain? One that`s been sprouted. Dormant food - An unsprouted grain is dormant, waiting for the right time to germinate. Its nutrients are locked up and well protected, making dormant grains harder to digest. Sprouting? When soaked in water, the grain wakes up and starts to sprout. Enzyme activity breaks down growth inhibitors, transforming and multiplying nutrients into their more easily digestible forms. About Rude Health At Rude Health, the only ingredients used are the kind of ingredients you'd have in your own kitchen; nothing artificial, nothing refined. They source their ingredients from fields, orchards and vines - not laboratories. They think food should be made out of food - not thickeners, preservatives, colourings, flavourings and other additives. The proof is in the taste, try it for yourself. When you`ve got food this good inside you, you`ll be up for anything.

This is my first post on GT for a long while, and it probably won't make a lot of sense, but I'm not going to keep going on without saying something. I have to tell someone, so a group of (relative) strangers makes the most sense to me. I know this can be doxxed back to me, but this isn't something I should be afraid of, and if someone wants to use this to intrude on my real life perhaps having the decision taken out of my hands would be helpful, anyway. I'm sorry in advance that this is long and rambling.
I should have been a woman.
I don't know when I started feeling this way - a slight tremor of a feeling in my early teens, buried and concealed by stereotypical teen-boy-ish-ness. Later on, perhaps a sense that it didn't really matter what voice my own thoughts speak in - thoughts can't have a gender, right? The past few years, seeing more and more of the world I inhabit and the world I could have inhabited had things gone 'right' - my life is a dreadful mess of "if only" and "I wish".
I've always believed - and this is something that has proved invaluable when Life has slapped me across the face - that whatever your circumstances are, the one thing you can control is how you feel about it. Long term, chronic illness diagnosed at 13? Something to make me stronger. Homeless at 20? Not if I have a partner and friends who love me. Begging, borrowing, and stealing to pay for university? I was just learning how to be savvy and how to get by. Almost dying in a car accident? "Almost" only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades.
But now, I've lost control of how I feel. I can't find an easy consolation or silver lining. There's nothing I can tell myself that makes this better.
I should have been a woman. I've known this now for a few years, and 'known' it for a bit longer than that. I wish I was a woman. I wish whatever insignificant butterfly wing-flap that made little fetal-me end up a boy had turned out differently. I wish I had twigged this earlier - and that I had been born into a family that wasn't too conservative to help. I see my female friends and co-workers and strangers and feel inside a horrible twinge of pain that tells me "that is what I should, but never will, be".
Every waking thought of mine is in a voice that doesn't match the sound my larynx makes. Every instinct, every hope and dream for my life is for a part of me I can never, ever express. The rest - my job, my friendships, my relationships - feels like some kind of performance, a character in a play I didn't audition for. Even my name - a lovely name for a man - seems like it belongs to the body I inhabit, not to 'me'.
I feel awfully selfish. I have a wonderful relationship with a woman I love, admire, and adore - a woman who I would never, ever forsake. A woman with home I have come closer to being the 'real me' with than any other person on the planet. But this isn't what she signed up for. We entered into this relationship with her as the girl and me as the guy. That's a role I'm happy to play, because if I was a "her" and not a "he" there would be nothing between us. She's straight and I'm into women, so it works out.
I've not told anyone this. People who know me say I'm a great "guy", because I'm both strong and chivalrous and masculine "like a man should be", and sensitive and empathetic and willingly emotional, which is "just so rare in our culture of monolithic manhood". Why should I tell anyone anything when I have quite a good deal the way things are now - a deal that would be rendered messy and complicated if I wasn't just a "great guy".
I'm afraid to tell my family, because they wouldn't understand at all. I'm afraid to be open about this with anyone. Most of all I'm afraid to tell my partner, not because she wouldn't understand - I know she would, because she's a decent person - but because it would feel selfish, like a betrayal. Things are working for us - we have built a life for ourselves, she's emigrated across the Atlantic ocean so we can be together - and I can't bring myself to blow it all up just because I can't be a man. I feel like I've lied to her - lied to everyone - because I'd rather live with the easy convenience of matching my identity and my body than be true to myself.
Maybe this is what 'coming out' is. Not a relief, not a weight lifted off my shoulders. Just a simple acknowledgement that there is something different about me. Finally telling someone, even if it's just a group of strangers on the internet, so I can hear that maybe I'm not as crazy as I've felt the past 5 years. But to even say this is "coming out" when I know I'm too cowardly to ever bring this from the internet into my "real life" feels like an insult to every LGBTQA person who has felt the same fear and anxiety as me and yet been brave and secure enough to actually own it. A guilty feeling that because things are going well for me I'm all to happy to abandon my true self for the privilege and convenience that comes with playing a straight, cis-man.
There's a voice in the back of my head that says "how dare you compare yourself to them - those brave people who would rather be honest about their identity regardless of the consequences than bottle it up out of convenience - you're just a coward."
I don't know what I am, besides that. Man? Woman?. I don't know if there is a way I can reconcile who I am to myself with who I am to everyone else. I've resigned myself over and over to just living this life as best I can, to taking every little moment of solitude as chance to think and feel as my real self, as the woman I know I was meant to be, and otherwise just playing my role as written, regardless of the layers of costume it takes.
The one thing I will not do is live my whole life without giving voice to these feelings, and with this post I can go on knowing that, although it's my secret, at least it's real. It's not some delusion in my brain, a weird rambling of a broken mind, but an honest and true and real and normal feeling. I can't ever act on it. I won't ever get to live the life I feel like I was supposed to live. I won't ever know what it's like to be the woman I see myself as in my head. I won't ever hear someone call me by the name I would choose. I won't ever get to feel someone love me for who I really am.
The best I can do is keep calm and carry on, and console myself in hushed self-talk and by grabbing every spare 30 seconds to switch off 'boy' mode and feel free. I can cultivate a life in my rich inner world and pretend that somewhere in some parallel universe there is a version of me that got what she wanted. The old imaginary friends who never really left can call me "Laura" as much as they like - no one else will.
Again, I'm sorry for the huge dump of Easter crazy. This was probably a tough read.

I've visited Bill's Restaurant a few times in the past, mostly in London but have only made the visit to Manchester's branch once. This isn't because the food has gone downhill, but mostly because there's always something new to try in Manchester's dining scene. Bill's is a no-brainer to me when I go down to London and want a good breakfast. I haven't had the opportunity to eat from their all-day menu, so one evening, I did just that. Discount code available to my readers at the bottom of the post. *
Bill's Restaurant Interior
The interior of Bill's is quite warm with wood details prevalent in every restaurant. The Deansgate Manchester branch has been blessed with large windows and outside seating as well for those sunnier days. Ornate chandeliers provide additional lighting.
As it was a fairly warm day when I visited, I went for the cold drink. Bill's cocktails are usually quite good, but I didn't feel like consuming alcohol this time around. Instead, I opted for the Watermelon, Peach and Raspberry Juice. The juice was served with a wedge of watermelon and was very refreshing.
Giant Green Gordal Olives
These olives were great. A good bite to them and pipped so you can just pop them into your mouth. Nothing to complain here!
(68 calories, 7g fat of which 1g is saturated, 0g carbs, 0.1g fibre, 0.5g protein, 1.7g salt)
Ancient Grain Bowl
I opted to try the Ancient Grain Bowl. I often think salads and grain bowls can be easily ignored when one is perusing the menu. Perhaps it's that people often don't think salads are worth the price or they don't think they are very filling. Let me tell you now that this grain bowl is very filling. I added halloumi to my bowl for an additional £3.50, but really don't think it is required at all if you are as small as I am. You can also choose to add their Mojo Marinated Chicken Skewers for an additional £3.50.
The grain bowl contains a mixture of wild rice, buckwheat, toasted millet and quinoa as a base. All of these contain a fair amount of protein, between 11 – 14g of protein per 100g, compared to 3.2g per 100g in white rice. On top of this is a variety of vegetables including charred broccoli, roasted cherry tomatoes, red pepper, avocado, spring onion, red pepper tapenade, seeds and a lemon dressing. The combination is slightly sweet and the textures are varied. I really recommend this. If you are unsure about the taste, you can also get this as a starter for £5.50 (without the additional protein options).
(648 calories, 33.5g fat of which 4.1g is saturated, 69.2g carbs of which 8.9 sugars, 9.9g fibre, 16.2g protein, 0.9 salt)
Wild Mushroom Soup
My friend, Lacey, didn't feel like eating much, so she chose the Wild Mushroom Soup which came with a rectangle piece of focaccia. The soup was the most amazing non-cream based mushroom soup I've had. The flavours were really good and the consistency was not watery or too thick. The focaccia was lightly toasted and my only negative would be that it would be nice to have two pieces of focaccia instead of one. Additionally, if Bill's could serve this as a larger portion for a main meal, that would also work quite well.
(Soup: 260 calories, 22.7g fat of which 2.1g is saturated, 9g carbs of which 3.6g sugars, 1.6 fibre, 3.4g protein, 2.9g salt)
(Focaccia (per piece): 130 calories, 4.9g fat of which 0.4g is saturated, 19.6g carbs of which 0.4g sugars, 0.8g fibre, 2.8g protein, 2.7g salt)
Overall rating and comments
9/10: -0.5 for the number of focaccia. We did ask for more and they happily obliged, but I'm not sure if this would be the case for every visit. -0.5 for the menu options as a vegan. I am not vegan, but I like knowing my friends can be catered for. There are options, but I feel like adding a couple more would improve the menu. Perhaps a vegan burger or sandwich? There are also no vegan desserts. I do like that their website has detailed nutritional information, allergens and you can also request a gluten-free menu at the restaurant.
Intrigued? Give them a visit. The discount code gives you 20% off and can be used throughout June 2018 on their All Day menu at the Deansgate, Manchester branch only. The code is 'ELSA20' and can just be shown at the end of the meal.
Would visit again?
Yes. I think I would need to visit Bill's more in future.

Skip to comments.Nevada to mail all voters ballots; Trump promises lawsuit
Posted on 08/03/2020 6:45:34 PM PDT by KTM rider
CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak signed legislation Monday to mail all of the state's active voters ballots ahead of the November election, a move being criticized by President Donald Trump, who promised a lawsuit to block the action
This bill will enable election officials to continue to support the safest, most accessible election possible under these unprecedented circumstances, Sisolak, a Democrat, said in a statement.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
Can the President block it?
mail in ballots are a Marxist step 1, step 2 will be gun grab
Don't some states already do all mail-in?
The Nevada GOP should be preparing lawsuits, but as usual, does nothing.
I corresponded a few years ago with Sharron Angle who lost to Harry Reid in 2010 through vote fraud. As she informed me the Nevada GOP did nothing about it. The exit polls had her winning.
They cannot possibly validate every single ballot this way - there's a reason why each state has hundreds or thousands of polling places, where people have to appear in person, oftentimes show ID, and sign their name next to their signature from past elections.
I hope and pray that the President can stop this by any means - it is literally nothing less than another coup attempt, this time by massively fraudulent elections.
Dont some states already do all mail-in?
Oregon and Utah.
Yes We have it in Oregon. We may as well just drive by and toss it in a dumpster because there will never be another conservative elected to the governors office or a republican president. <p. all the progressives need is to have control of the key County controllers offices
well we can go drive by and put them in a box, but they still get tallied "collectively" behind closed doors. Most people just mail them back in
massive voter fraud coming in NV... there were already stories of delivered ballots to wrong address in the recent primary.
Dems know NV in play due to Sleepy Joe's significant weakness with Latinos.
there will be in-person early voting as well.
this bill also removes the SoS, the state's #1 election expert from implmentation... so expect outside 'experts' to help Sisolak execute mail-in voting scheme.
Add in WA
Democrats know Trump will win by a landslide, so they are going to make it impossible to get a valid vote count.
"I doubt it. Voting systems are states rights."
But states don't have free reign to do as they please. Voting in the South has not been viewed as states' rights since about 1964. And states pass voter ID and then it is knocked down by a Federal judge.
I wouldn't be surprised if all states with dem governors do this.
Yes yes. Look at Portland. Its/ all you need to know
States don't have rights, they have powers.
And if a state's election is corrupt then it's unconstitutional.
PA, WI, MI and NC.
Considering the opposition has used the courts to block him for using his very clearly defined and Constitutional responsibilitys, then why not?

Saturday Night Live is the latest franchise to see its advertising load shaved. In an ongoing effort to improve the linear TV viewing experience in an increasingly fractured landscape, NBC announced Monday that SNL will cut 30 percent of its load by eliminating two commercial pods next season. Turner and Viacom as well as A+E-owned newcomer Viceland are among the other media outlets that have announced similar plans to reduce primetime ads. "As the decades have gone by, commercial time has grown. This will give time back to the show and make it easier to watch the show live," noted SNL creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels, with NBCUniversal as sales chairman Linda Yaccarino adding: "Since 1975, SNL has shaped and driven conversation. We are excited to try something new and unique that will shape and drive advertiser content, too." To make up for some of that lost revenue, NBC will offer advertisers the opportunity for sponsored content within the weekly live show. According to AdAge, the series intends to feature native pods six times a year. The news comes as SNL enters its 42nd season with a presidential election as its backdrop. To date, the live show is averaging more than 6 million viewers and a 1.9 rating among the coveted 18-49 demographic. NBCU brass is likely to hammer home the potential for such a strategy during its upfront presentation to advertisers on Monday, May 16th. The network group announced in late March its plan to roll up a series of cable and network presentations into one two-hour event. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Lacey Rose email@example.com @thr

Connecticut utilities claim fraud in no-shut-off program
HARTFORD >> Municipal electric companies in Connecticut say a growing number of people are abusing a law that protects those with serious or life-threatening illnesses from having their electricity shut off during the winter because they can't afford to pay the bill.
A bill before the legislature would change the definition of a "life-threatening" situation. Among other measures, it would allow utilities to verify an applicant's income and liquid assets and to contest the validity of a customer's illness.
Advocates for the elderly and needy have balked at the legislation, saying it could lead to fewer people getting the much-needed protection.
It's questionable, however, whether the bill will progress. Democratic Sen. Bob Duff said he doesn't expect the Energy and Technology Committee to act on the bill at its next meeting Tuesday.

Voodoo Robotics Pick-to-Light devices have batteries that are quick and easy to change. Batteries are accessible from the front of the device, without removal. The devices re-synchronize with the database upon startup, so manufacturers never lose Pick-to-Light device data.
The battery voltage of each device is continuously monitored by the system. The device itself always displays the current battery voltage or a low-battery warning. On the SKU-Keeper server, manufacturers can easily get a list of Pick-to-Light devices and their locations that have battery levels below a cut-off value that is specified.
The Pick-to-Light devices have been designed to maximize battery efficiency. The devices spend most of the time "sleeping." With typical use, the two AA batteries could last years, depending on how frequently the device is activate.

Creativity for Coaches
Coaching Creativity: transforming your practice
Creativity is a sexy word isn't it? There is so much buzz about creativity in the coaching profession, the business world, but also society as a whole. Everybody wants to be more creative; whatever that means!
Coaching works with creativity in three main ways:
- Coaching itself is a creative process and we need to understand that better.
- Creative "doing" can enhance our coaching (art, writing, games, improv and many other things.)
- Coaching can also activate and support our client's creativity.
Whilst basic coach training helps coaches develop their core competencies such as listening, enquiring, relating, contracting etc. there is a world beyond this, a world that I like to frequently visit. And perhaps you would like to visit too?
My book "Coaching Creativity: transforming your practice" teaches you all you need to know about creativity and guides you through various tools and techniques you can use in your coaching work.
Discovery Party
Discovery Party is a different way to use coaching in a creative way, which has benefits for all involved. It will change the way you work with people and market your coaching services, forever
Discovery Party is NOT just another set of coaching resources or a marketing tool for coaches – it is so much more. It's a unique system which provides huge benefits to coaches including:
- ready to use creative, fun activities and games in a party format;
- suitable for a variety of client groups and settings, including home parties, team workshops and away-days;

Hailing from Rochester, New York, John Vallby was born in 1945 to an accomplished violinist named Richard from whom Vallby inherited his love for music. Later, in his teen age he attended McQuaid Jesuit High School where he started learning piano from Catholic instructors. It wasn't until college that Vallby stepped out into dirty singing which he is most famous for. After finishing his high school, he got enrolled in Middlebury College from where he majored in Philosophy. It was also during the same time that Vietnam War started and Vallby served in the army.
Vallby first started writing his signature bawdy compositions while he was still in college. He wrote few raunchy compositions for his fraternity brothers which are still being heard and sung on many occasions. As a classical pianist, he performed extensively at all the major colleges throughout the country. It didn't take Vallby long to realize the fact that the demand for pop standards and normal ragtime classics is very limited. The real journey of Dr. Dirty started in 1975 when he accidently discovered his present style while performing at a bar in Buffalo.
Instead of the old piano classics, Vallby started singing filthy songs and sang some three dirty songs that night. Soon he had the audience was won over by him who couldn't stop laughing till the very last minute. Since then, Vallby hasn't looked back and has been entertaining his audiences with his lowbrow tunes, nasty parodies of good old Christmas carols, topical numbers on historic events and people and hilariously lewd and crude stuff about sex as well as racial slurs. It was this extensive repertoire of Vallby that earned him the title of Dr. Dirty, a name given to him by his manager.
With his trademark bow tie, Vallby has become a favorite comedian cum musician who spares no one, from democrats to republicans in an effort to make his audience laugh. He has released a total of thirty pop and rock albums over a period of 26 years. Vallby has also produced and composed albums for a number of other artists. Among his most prominent works include the composition of a score for "Nancy Ray Smiggen's Family Tree and the Magic Extravaganza," a short feature.
Apart from his career as a comedian and musician, Vallby finds great pleasure in playing hockey. He is currently living in New York with his family and continues to do his live shows at clubs and colleges. At any time in the year, Vallby will be found touring and doing his uproarious, vulgar and sleazy stuff, laughing and joking along with his audience. When Vallby is on stage, no one is safe from his piano or jokes. Among his most famous songs include "Roll Your Leg Over," "Ya, Ya, Ya (aka Limericks)" and "Barnacle Bill" etc. In 1983, he also starred in "Losin' It," as a piano player.
John Vallby has got a distinctive ability to talk and make fun about the most gross as well as controversial topics with great finesse and ease. That's one of the many reasons that Vallby is amongst the biggest names when it comes to dirty comedy. This year, you can catch him live on stage as he reaches a nearby club by getting some cheap John Vallby tickets. With an experience of more than twenty years, John Vallby knows exactly how to make you laugh.

This general information is intended to give you an overview of our recruitment process and hopefully will cover most FAQ's. However if you need HR advice about your specific circumstances, please contact our HR team via our main switchboard number 03 8636 9400.
- Initial contact: Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted, usually by telephone to arrange a telephone and/or face to face interview. Unfortunately we are a small but dedicated HR team and we are unable to directly contact or provide feedback to every applicant at initial application stage. We hope you understand. You will receive an email message when you send your resume which provides a confirmation and advises that you will be contacted directly if shortlisted for interview.
- Our timings: These can vary according to position and availability of those staff involved in the recruitment process but we aim to recruit as responsively as practicable: often we interview within one week of closing dates.
- Phone interview: Not always, but often we will contact successful applicants for a short telephone interview. During this discussion, we will find out a little more about you, including what you are looking for from your next job role, your salary expectations and it's an opportunity for you to ask any questions to make sure this is the right role for you.
- Face to face interview: If you are invited to attend a first or second face-to-face interview, you will meet your Manager, an HR team member and often, other members of the team. During the interview you will discuss your interest in working with Housing Choices, your motivations and values as well as your career history, skills and experience.
- Other recruitment methods: Usually we will make a recruitment decision after interview and reference checking, however from time to time we may ask applicants to undertake other selection methods i.e. undertake a 'skills based' exercise or provide scenario type responses as deemed applicable for the particular vacancy. We will always advise an applicant during the selection process if this is the case.
- Referees: If we consider you our preferred applicant, we will require the contact details of two referees to obtain references prior to making you a job offer. Ideally they should be people you have reported too in a work environment.
- Background checks: All new employees are required to undergo a Police Check. We will organise and pay for this check once you have provided all relevant documentation. Depending on your role, we may also require a Working With Children check and we will let you know if this is needed at the appropriate time.We strongly encourage you to be open and up front with us if there is likely to be any disclosure or finding that may arise through these checks. We can then have an honest discussion about your suitability for the role.

With juicy strawberries spooned over sweet and tender biscuits, old-fashioned strawberry shortcakes are the perfect springtime dessert. If the berries are very sweet, decrease the sugar to suit your taste. Drop the dough easily by using a lightly greased 1/3-cup dry measure.
How to Make It
Combine strawberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and, if desired, almond extract. Cover berry mixture, and let stand 2 hours.
Beat whipping cream at medium speed with an electric mixer until foamy; gradually add 2 Tbsp. sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Cover and chill up to 2 hours.
Combine flour, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl; cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or two forks until crumbly.
Whisk together eggs, sour cream, and vanilla until blended; add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Drop dough by lightly greased 1/3 cupfuls onto a lightly greased baking sheet. (Coat cup with vegetable cooking spray after each drop.)
Bake at 450° for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden.
Split shortcakes in half horizontally. Spoon about 1/2 cup berry mixture onto each shortcake bottom; top each with a rounded Tbsp. chilled whipped cream, and cover with tops. Serve with remaining whipped cream. Garnish, if desired.
Strawberry Jam Shortcakes: Prepare recipe as directed. Before topping shortcake bottoms with strawberry mixture, stir together 1/4 cup strawberry jam and 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint. Spread cut sides of bottom shortcake halves evenly with jam mixture. Proceed with recipe as directed.

Although winter mountain biking shoes are not a piece of equipment everybody will need due simply to the fact that most mountain bikers leave their bikes until warmer weather, those of us who do not want to stop just because the weather is bad have few options for keeping our feet warm and protected in such conditions. Honestly, I am not a fan of overshoes when temperatures drop below 10°C so a good winter MTB shoes are a must.
The Shimano SH-MW81 GORE-TEX shoes are an upgrade to their previous model the MW80 which up to now, was the only model Shimano offered for MTB shoes with cleats as far as I know.
These shoes are made from GORE-TEX, a water resistant and breathable fabric that is also windproof. I have tried regular winter boots just to find out that once your feet get wet from sweat or other source of water things go really bad really quickly. The idea behind GORE-TEX is to allow the extra moisture generated from sweating, to escape through the membrane, while keeping the water outside from getting to your feet.
The neoprene ankle cover is not that waterproof in my experience, although it has a splash guard that is, but it is a nice touch. There are 4 Velcro straps that allow a flexible fit and do not create any discomfort if properly adjusted.
As far as reflective elements go, you have the big silver strap on the front, a smaller patch on the side and the back. Positioned this way they provide almost 360° of coverage, no complaints here.
The fiberglass reinforced polyamide sole improves the power transfer to the pedals. I have not used these shoes without the cleats so no idea how will they perform on flat pedals. The mud shedding tread pattern works well and manages to stay pretty much clear all the time. The optional shoe spikes were not included in the box and are sold separately, a thing I did not expect.
One thing I really liked about the cleat mount was that it was lined and did not make the usual metal sound when walking. While some dealers include the SH-51 cleats in the box, I have replaced them with the Shimano SH-56 SPD cleats as all my other mountain bike shoes.
The inner shoe is fleeced with polar insulation which helps in keeping the warmth trapped inside the shoe. My only complaint is, that in the foot toes area there is not enough fleece and your toes will start to feel cold in temperatures below 5°C with a light weight merino socks, depending on your blood circulation. I have survived with a medium thick socks up to -5°C but my feet felt quite cold at the end of a 2 hour medium intensity ride.
As far as the sizing goes, my regular Shimano summer shoes are a size 46, so I ordered these in 46 too. For comparison I usually wear 44.5 Lacoste sneakers and 45 in other shoes. The Shimano MW81 are a bit roomier in order to accommodate thicker socks. While with light and medium weight wool socks you will have no issues, heavy weight wool socks might make you go a size up, depending on the size and construction of your feet. I suggest you better try them with the thickest sock you have before buying, just to see how they feel.
The bottom line is, these are great winter mountain biking shoes, warm, breathable and waterproof, although they technically are made from waterproof material and will protect you from rain/snow, riding through big puddles of water will not be so forgiving if done repeatedly. As far as appearance goes, they look a bit bulkier then your usual cycling shoes in the same size, but do not feel quite like that on your feet, weighting around 100g more.
Even though there are more expensive winter MTB shoes like the SIDI Diablo GTX and some cheaper models, the Shimano SH-MW81 GORE-TEX Winter MTB shoes, priced around 160-190 EUR are worth the money and you will be happy to have them in your winter arsenal for at least few years.
Tested with Shimano SPD pedals PD-M530 and PD-M780 and SH-56 cleats.
You can get the Shimano SH-MW81 shoes at Chain Reaction Cycles, Wiggle, Evans Cycles, Rutland Cycling, Merlin Cycles and Amazon

Ethiopia's Tigray and Afar regions to the north have once again been hit by drought, one that is estimated to be the worst in 50 years – exceeding that of 1984, which contributed to the famine that killed more than 1 million Ethiopians.
The alarm has now been sounded – after an avoidable delay, according to some – and now the likes of the United Nations and Save the Children are swinging into action to acquisition funds for Ethiopia. And this time the argument for funds isn't just to save lives but to ensure Ethiopia's current developmental momentum – and its best chance of being able to handle such droughts – remains on track.
But how could this be happening again – little more than 30 years after a global humanitarian appeal that raised many millions of dollars, and saw foreign NGOs rush in establishing famine relief efforts, and a host of infrastructure projects designed to prevent such a disaster recurring.
Drought takes terrible toll in Ethiopia
Such incredulity, already voiced in some media, is understandable, with the response on the ground a confusing mix of a partial success story by the Ethiopian government, yet partial enough for imminent crisis, exacerbated by the reaction – or lack thereof – from the international community, to remain a distinct possibility.
Donor fatigue
Herein lies Ethiopia's greatest challenge: donor fatigue, after 2015 proved a tumultuous humanitarian-crisis-riddled year.
The harsh economic truth this time round is Ethiopia is competing for international funds against the likes of war in Syria and Yemen, and a migrant crisis; and the cogs of the bureaucratic donor system aren't renowned for turning quickly.

Initially, Ethiopia tried what many in the West complain that developing countries don't do enough of: tackling the situation itself, employing a sophisticated food security network developed over decades since images of the 1984 famine came to stigmatise Ethiopia.
Ethiopia tried what many in the West complain that developing countries don't do enough of: tackling the situation itself…
The Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) is a welfare-for-work initiative enabling about 6 million people to work on public infrastructure projects in return for food or cash.
Furthermore, there's a national food reserve and early warning systems throughout woredas, local administrative organisations.
Ethiopia's efforts went as far as opening early a new railway line – the country's only one – between Djibouti and Addis Ababa to transport food aid, and committing an unprecedented $192m to helping prevent deaths from starvation. The country's ability and means for providing emergency relief have changed beyond recognition since 1984.
But these efforts hit a snag: between June and October in 2015 estimated numbers of those affected by the drought doubled to around 8.2 million.
Predicting this drought's severity was beyond Ethiopia's control; the ocean warming trend El Nino is causing unusually heavy rains in some parts of the world and drought elsewhere. Neighbouring Somalia has about 3 million people hit by crop failures and food shortages.
So, finally, Ethiopia's government asked for help. But some within NGOs argue the government delayed unnecessarily while going it alone to maintain the narrative of Ethiopia's great economic renaissance, achieving about 10 percent annual growth for the last decade.
Great economic renaissance
That rate has elevated Ethiopia to one of the fastest growing economies in the world, thereby radically improving the government's cash flow to mitigate such a crisis.
|Elder residents of Kobo, Ethiopia, speak of the cumulative effects of several bad rainy seasons that have made this the worst drought they can remember [AP]
But plenty is committed to projects like building the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, Africa's biggest – costing about $5bn – to generate enough hydro-electricity that many say could guarantee the country's economic security.
Such growth finds its apogee in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, where the skyline changes every month with new towering buildings. But a very different side to Ethiopia remains outside modernising cities where about 80 percent of Ethiopia's population, subsisting on rain-dependant agriculture, live.
In a health clinic outside Adigrat, Tigray's second largest town, 17-year-old Milite sat with her two-year-old. A special tape measure around her daughter's arm read yellow – "moderately" malnourished.
As 17-year-old Milite describes not having enough food at her grandmother's home where she lives, and the soldier father deserting them, she starts crying.
ALSO READ: Drought takes terrible toll in Ethiopia
Those trying to initiate donor-funded programmes to bolster the Ethiopian government's efforts say that while people are not actually starving, they are close enough. Such concerns are heightened by the chance El Nino quashes Ethiopia's next rainy season.
The UN estimates such a situation could result in up to 15 million Ethiopians suffering by mid-2016 unless donations increase.
That's the short-term. Aid agencies are warning that significant gains made in food security, education and health over the years are now in jeopardy in some parts of Ethiopia.
"The consequences could ripple through generations," said the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund.
Foreign financial assistance is already arriving and combined with money committed by the Ethiopian government totals about $360m to confront the drought's aftermath. But the overall emergency response could cost $1.4bn, according to aid agencies, especially if fears about El Nino and Ethiopia's next rainy season come true.
