The breed has a head that is full and slender. Its muzzle is wide with a definite stop. The breed has dark brown facial features. The ears are long and hang at the sides of its head. The breed's neck is elongated, strong, and angles to its straight back that is shorter than average. The breed's tail is docked.
The Vizsla is a breed that is energetic, obedient, and devoted. The breed is generally friendly, but should be trained early to prevent it from becoming timid around people.

Tboss humbles follower who attacked her
Former Big Brother Naija housemate, TBoss put a follower of hers in his place after he came for her on Instagram.
The lovely half-Romanian shared a post on her page where she said she believes clothes should be repeated until they are worn out.
Then, a follower, Sopulu Patrick Nweke dropped a derogatory comment which TBoss didn't quite appreciate. TBoss had written,
Who says you cannot repeat Clothes??? I believe clothes are to be repeated until you wear them out! After all, you should utilize the value of every penny spent. #MyOpinion #Mine #Youdonthavetoagreewithit. #Romania #Bucharest then #London. PS: I'm NOT saying if you can afford it it's a bad thing I'm simply implying that there shouldn't be any sort of pressure on you to impress the Gram Nation! #Eitherwaysiwillbemisquoted. What's your opinion though? Comment below😘
Then the follower commented, That's what by say when u font have 25m
The BBNaija alumnus then fired back by making fun of his grammar, then asked him to send his account number so she can send him money for English lessons.
This dude didn't actually take shame in this and defended himself by blaming it on auto-correct – this is after he'd dropped his account number and full account name.

When it comes to file transfer, it's all about speed . Then again, speed means nothing if you don't have the right connectors on your computer. SATA has become fairly commonplace for hard drives, replacing stalwart standard IDE. One of the great benefits of SATA is that it's hot-pluggable, meaning you can plug and unplug internal drives like FireWire/USB drives. There's even an external SATA standard (eSATA) plug that lets you use SATA drives as external drives. Great, but it's not a plug that you'll see on most machines. Yet .
To tide you over until eSATA ports become more widespread, here's a interesting solution: a USB to SATA adapter. Plug the little dongle into your USB port, and jack a SATA drive into the other side, and bam , you're set. The major problem is that USB's throughput goes to 480Mb/s whereas SATA's max speed is 2.4Gb/s, so you won't see full SATA speeds. Still, if you've got a SATA drive you want to attach to a laptop that doesn't have SATA or an ExpressCard port—say, a MacBook—this might be a good solution.

Countless individuals have experienced headaches that range in various degrees, let's go over the possible correlations between individuals and headaches. First and foremost, you should consider the foods and liquids consumed and how much exercise is in your schedule. Each of these components plays a part in how the body talks if you pay attention and listen, you are likely to crack the code and find a solution.
What Causes Headaches?
Headaches can occur for many reasons, throughout this article we will cover the most common types of headaches and remedies that can alleviate them.
This headache develops over time after a physical or emotional stress, these can last hours and even days in some cases. Many people referred the feeling being a band behind the eyes or across the forehead, and could be located anywhere in the head (side, front, back).
Headache Remedy:
Engage in daily stretching, this frees up blockages and reduces muscular tension buildup in the body. Meditation can reduce the noise traffic in the mind and minimize stress from the daily routine, studies have shown to have significant health benefits such as longer life, better relationships, increased creativity and thought clarity. Meditation can be in various forms such as yoga, which involves deep breathing, stretching and moving of the body. Cooking is a form of moving meditation and can be relaxing and rewarding. Playing an instrument, painting or drawing and listening to relaxing music (classical baroque works best, or any soft soothing music).
This headache is Commonly identified with an individual experiencing a runny nose and watery eyes, usually this headache is seasonal. Studies have linked allergic reactions to MSG (mono-sodium glutamate) used in processed foods and restaurants. Headaches related to this include facial pressure, chest, neck, and shoulder pain. Along with MSG, nitrites and nitrates have also been correlated with food allergies these ingredients can be typically found in processed meats (hot-dogs, hamburgers, pork products).
Headache Remedy:
Consider being an informed consumer by finding out what the ingredients on the packages are, a great way to determine if a product is okay or not could be researching each ingredient on the web and making an informed decision thereafter. This may be overwhelming because many of the processed products on the market are "unsafe", to ensure the best quality products you can purchase organic foods at the local grocery store or farmers market. Over the years, there has been a shift in the marketplace and the demand for organic goods has increased. A good start begins with more vegetables and fruits into your diet and eliminating as many processed foods as possible, this has tremendous effects on the body and reduces headaches.
Many individuals have been victim to this and describe it as a throbbing pain and feeling severely nauseous. one may experience visual problems which include seeing stars, flickering objects and in some cases partial loss of vision. Migraines can cause fatigue. A culprit to obtaining one of these headaches can be food related, stress, hormonal or a past accident.
Headache Remedy:
Food can play a vital role in how the body talks, people should be aware of what is going on in their surroundings. Exposure to rapid flashing lights (television, video games etc) can influence how individuals feel, bright lights (overhead lights at home or work) take an effect too. It is best to relax in a dimmed room and remove over exposure to these environments, remember, everything in moderation. If you are aware of what is going on around you and listen to what the body says, it becomes easier to respond effectively.
These are most common with individuals occuring around the eye area and typically on one side. They Involve drooping eyelids, runny nose, watery eyes, and pain. Studies have shown that men are 4x more likely to have these types of headaches.
The remedies listed above are applicable to this final common headache. The above recommendations can aid in avoiding further headache related problems. One headache that can be avoided but most commonly overlooked is the headache from alcohol. This is common sense to anyone with experience using alcohol. Although there are several reasons that headaches occur, if you suffer from headaches for extended durations, it is wise to visit a doctor or natural-path for proper diagnosis. These remedies are to reduce the likelihood that you will have a headache and are not a 100% guaranteed.

President Donald Trump personally dictated an fiery rebuttal statement to a recent story in The New York Times on the administration's position on the Affordable Care Act's cost-sharing payments, according to a report from Politico.
The statement, which was delivered to Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price, was then attributed to an HHS spokesperson, the report said.
The ACA's cost-sharing reduction (CSR) payments help subsidise insurers who offer low out-of-pocket cost plans to poorer Americans.
House Republicans sued the Obama administration in 2014, saying that the payments were illegal since they were not approved by Congress. The court agreed, but allowed the payments to continue as the Obama administration filed an appeal.
Health policy analysts worried that the Trump administration would drop the appeal, ending the CSR payments and causing insurers to leave the market. This could cause costs to rise and effectively allow Trump to help Obamacare's exchanges collapse.
On Monday, The New York Times reported that the Trump administration would continue to pay the CSR payments to insurers while the lawsuit was pending, giving some clarity to the issue until the next court date in May.
On Tuesday, HHS responded in a statement. It called the Times report incorrect, said Obamacare was failing, and attacked Democrats for not working with Trump and Republicans on healthcare. Here's the statement in full:
"The administration is currently deciding its position on the matter. We have not been contacted by Democrats to save Obamacare, perhaps because they consider Obamacare to be a losing cause. Democrats need to help solve this failed Obamacare plan. The report was in reference to the current status of the lawsuit and is not an indication of what will happen in the future. No decision has been made about how the administration will proceed."
The statement was attributed to HHS spokesperson Alleigh Marré.
Trump was concerned that alleviating some of the concern from Democrats over the CSR payments would make them less likely to come to the table to negotiate on healthcare, the report said.
While the White House typically sets the message, Politico said that is is "unusual" for a statement from an executive agency to be personally crafted directly by the president.

4th Anniversary Competitions
Posted in Contests on 25-05-2012 | 132 Comments
As you know, in celebration of the 4th birthday of PhotoNetCast, we're running a couple of competitions with great prizes. Here's everything you need to know to enter either (or both) of our birthday competitions: a Photo Contest and a "Spread the Word" competition.
Photo Contest
Given that we're a photography podcast, it seemed extremely appropriate that the first of these competitions should require you to actually do some photography so here it is – the 4th Anniversary PhotoNetCast Photography Competition.
To enter, post your entry photo (the theme is open so post whatever you want) on any social network (Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, SmugMug, wherever) or your own blog, then leave a comment on this page with the URL to the post containing your picture. If you want to link to this post on the page containing the picture we would love that but it's not required to enter. If you entered the landscape photo competition in our Flickr group, we'll carry your entry forward to the new competition and give you a crack at the prizes on offer here.
Entries must be received by midnight CST on June 16th. After this point, the show hosts will look at all the entries and, following a period of violent dissent and heated debate, will pick a winner. We'll announce the winner on the first show recorded after the judging completes.
What about the prizes though? We'll be offering prize packages for the first, second and third place winners as follow:
First Prize – Total Value $380

Even if you don't want to enter the photo contest, we still have an option that gives you the chance of winning a fabulous collection of prizes and this one only involves you spreading the word about PhotoNetCast on your favourite social networking sites. You have the following options to enter and you are welcome to enter once per social network to maximize your chances.

2020 - 2016 (218 images as of 2/4)
New work that explores scenes of nature from Illinois prairies, the Georgia Coast, fire adapted Southeastern woodlands, and the Colombian Andes.
2005 - 2001 (160 images)
The southeastern scenes in this section correspond with a move back to Athens GA and a renewed focus on painting. Landscapes exploring native plant communities reflect a heightened awareness of landscape ecology. There are also scenes from bike touring in Europe, and travel to Idaho and Montana.
2000 - 1985 (170 images)
A wide range of images mark the experiences of these 15 years. Early works shown are mainly from Art School at UGA and the Cortona Studies Abroad Program, followed by a few years of travels in Europe, New England, and the Western U.S. Figure drawings, portraits, and still lifes, are accompanied by an increasing number of landscapes. Graduate school at UGA and subsequent employment in landscape architecture reduce the output toward the end of this period but travel-inspired landscapes persist.

American Idol's third-place finisher Danny Gokey may not have inspired as much online hang-wringing as runner-up Adam Lambert, but the church music director from Wisconsin discovered what it was like to become the victim of his own backlash after he was booted from the show. Season Eight's early favorite stopped by the Rolling Stone offices last week to chat about his ousting, his now-infamous "Dream On" scream, his thoughts on Lambert and his tips for future Idol contestants — which will come in handy as this afternoon Idol announced audition dates for Season Nine.
Your first auditions made you an early favorite for winning the whole competition. How did being a front-runner so early on affect you? I think it harmed me. The front-runner never wins on the show — that's just what happens because there's so much expectation. When there's a lot of expectation on someone, people can get disappointed. In the beginning I paid attention to the blogs because I wanted to hear what people were saying, but after a while there was too much analyzing. People are fickle, so I had to let that go so I could remain true and consistent to myself.
Were you convinced at any point during the competition that you were going to get kicked off?
I survived the scream, but I don't think it helped my run in that race. [The night I got kicked off], Dialidol.com said it was my time to go.
One theory on Kris Allen's win is that your votes went to him once you were voted off. What are your thoughts on that, and did you expect him to win?
Kris and I draw the same crowd because of the ways we perform and the way we sing and what kind of music we do. I don't have the answer but I will say my votes didn't hurt him. I think if Kris had left his votes would have gone for me, but I left so I believe a majority of my votes went to him. But I don't want to take away from Kris' artistic ability and his singing. I didn't expect to Kris to win. But I didn't expect me to win; I didn't expect anyone to win. Kris was really a dark horse in the competition and he shocked people with what he did and for good reason.
What's your relationship like with Adam Lambert?
Adam is a great person. I think people want to cast him off to the side because of what he represented but he has a lot to give to the music industry in this day in age. He's a personable entertainer and I hope people see that in him.
Your scream during "Dream On" in Rock Week quickly became infamous. How aware were you of the reaction?
I didn't realize what happened because I couldn't hear my scream at the end. I thought I did pretty good until the judges [reacted]. I went home and got on the Internet because I wanted to see what people were saying, and I laughed the entire night. I kept getting these images in my head of people covering their ears. It was hilarious. People may have questioned my musical abilities, but I'm never going to do rock, so we won't have to cross this road again.
So, what can we expect from your album?
I'm going to make good music. I want to do a soul and R&B fusion with a sprinkle of Latin flavor on some of it. I'll always have my gospel roots, so I think I'm going to put one gospel song on each CD.
What advice would you give to future American Idol wannabes?
Watch the show. It's not just singing, it's arrangements, it's your image, it's a lot of things, so get that worked out before you go onto the show. I would have spent more time familiarizing myself with more categories of music and arranging the music on the show. I wouldn't have stressed out so much trying to pick a song; I would have just let things flow and just pick a song and just let it come.
There has been some controversy about the audition process and the involvement of your wife's death in your the back story. What do you have to say to people who may have gotten the wrong impression of you?
There were some wrong impressions made for me. My wife was a big fan of the show, and I couldn't watch it because I drove a semi truck during the day and I worked at the church at night. Eventually I started watching on DVR and got hooked. By February 2008 I had decided to audition because it was the last year I could do it. My wife was excited but we didn't know the road we'd take to get here. A lot of people said, 'Well he knew what he was getting into.' I read some rough things, but we had no idea — she had a 90% survival rate for the surgery she was having for her congenital heart disease.
I was faced with a choice four weeks before the audition, and I decided to bury the misery. Music brought me hope, so I want to bring hope to other people through the foundation I started in my wife's memory, Sophia's Heart. The agenda is to mix my music with the foundation.
So many people go though their lives being defined by certain things, like maybe they were abused or they were a drug addict or they were poor and they let those things define them as opposed to having those moments become a defining moment that they use as a stepping stone. And I believe that's what I did with this. I took a lot of criticism but at the same time I'm so happy I did it. Believe me I wanted to take that year off, but it was the last year I could audition. I came on the show saying, 'I want to show the world who my wife was,' and now through the foundation I want to show what she did.

Drawing is as important a skill as writing or the spoken word for effectively communicating ideas. Anyone who can pick up a pen can draw, and the most abstruse ideas can be communicated with drawings. Without drawing technology would never have reached it's current stage. It might have done, but it would have taken a few thousand years from now, and you would presently be too busy fending off predators to be sitting in front of your computer reading this.
My favourite form of drawing is the doodle. While your mind is somewhere else, for instance during a telephone call or while listening to Parliament Today on Radio 4, the pencil comes to life and a picture that you could never have intended to draw starts coming to life. Often the doodle serves as a memory marker, so that by looking at a doodle one can remember what one was talking about or doing at the time of the doodle. Never underestimate the doodle!
The best aspect of drawing is perspective. With perspective imaginary worlds can be geometrically constructed to resemble post medieval reality. The joy of perspective is the simplicity of it. Take an object and draw it. Measure the distance between you and it. Move the object to twice the distance away and draw it again (carefully measured with your pencil, if you've ever been taught to draw like that). You'll find the second drawing half the size of the first drawing. Here's the clever bit: draw a line from the top of the first drawing and the top of the second drawing, then draw a second line between the bottom of the first drawing and the bottom of the second drawing, and you will find that both lines converge towards a point. This is the vanishing point. With the vanishing point you can predict where any line that is parallel to those lines is going to go. With two or three vanishing points you can construct the whole of orthogonal reality.
Come to think of it save yourself the effort and get a camera. It's a lot easier and it will do all the perspective calculations for you at the press of a button.
Which brings me onto photography. Correction – the camera does no calculations whatsoever. Light is always in a hurry and needs to get from A to B in the shortest time possible, and forming an image is the easiest thing for it to do provided that the lenses and the film are in the correct places.
Cameras do their best with capturing time. The shutter opens then it closes and anything that happens before and after is discarded, and so is everything that happens everywhere else, including behind the camera and under your kitchen sink. You can ameliorate this problem by leaving the shutter open for longer and attaching a wider angle lens, having more cameras, and using light that shines through things such as x-rays.

Tudor attracts characteristic parts of this watch from models in its past. The curving sapphire crystal and dial recall the primary Tudor dive watch. The oversized "Big Crown" may be a style feature of the Reference 7924 from 1958, the primary Tudor watch to be waterproof to a depth of two hundred meters. The water resistance is written in red on the dial of this watch, even as it had been on historical models. and also the new model's "snowflake" hands ar like those on the Tudor wristwatches that were equipped to the French Navy in the Nineteen Seventies. History also connects the new Heritage Black Bay Chrono with the globe of motorsports – described here by the chronograph with its fixed tacheometer bezel, that has been a feature of all Tudor stopwatches. Tudor introduced its 1st chronograph, the "Prince Oysterdate," equipped with an ETA/ Valjoux 7734 movement, in 1970.
This new model's movement is that the results of a collaboration with Breitling. the 2 brands are currently sharing experience within the style and production of mechanical movements with the aim of developing a lot of in-house capabilities. employing Breitling Caliber B01 as a base, Tudor has put in an in-house regulator with a Si hairspring – a joint patent of Rolex, Patek Philippe and also the swatch cluster – then placed its own rotor on top. Tudor calls it the MT5813 caliber and it's been certified by the COSC as a clock.
Tudor has created another technical modification to the initial base movement. Like its 1st chronograph, the subdial at three o'clock includes a 45-minute range rather than the standard half-hour.
This layout isn't problem-free. On the one hand, the counter is quite tiny, and on the other, the massive sq. at the end of the snowflake hour hand often blocks the recessed subdial. This also happens with the tiny seconds display, that is found across the dial at nine o'clock. however it's still enough for a operate check – and also the chronograph is engaged if this presents a problem for the user. The vertical clutch makes this doable and also prevents the hand from advancing suddenly or jumping once the chronograph is started.
Our rate tests showed that the watch rates are around identical whether the chronograph is engaged or not. And if we had to denote a fault, it might be that the rate often falls into the minus vary. Still, the watch can run for days with nearly no notable deviation.
And there's one thing else that affects the temporal order function: so as to ensure the water resistance of the watch to a depth of two hundred meters, 2 screw-down pushers are placed next to the crown . It's necessary to unscrew both as far as doable before the chronograph is started. in operation the pusher also needs a good deal of pressure to overcome rather stiff resistance. The hack mechanism and restart are abundant easier, and also the reset operate includes a very precise point.
The Big Crown sits within an extended tube. once releasing the screw by turning it counterclockwise, the crown jumps out for the purpose of manual winding. It also can be simply pulled into the proper positions for quick-date adjustment and hand setting, then came back securely to its screw-down, secured position.
The date mechanism is intended for fast and simple date correction. once the watch is running, it advances to following day exactly at nighttime. It makes a powerful impression in black and white at six o'clock. The ensuing omission of a bright dot here and at three and nine o'clock isn't any problem, since the remaining eight glowing dots and also the triangle at twelve o'clock, beside the substantial hands, make it straightforward to scan the time day or night. The timer operate retreats with modesty to the background throughout the day and disappears at midnight.
Our test piece came with a stainless-steel bracelet, like those on Tudor models from the Nineteen Fifties and '60s. it's simply recognizable because of the prominent rivets connecting the links, that are organized like steps another detail from past styles.
Each watch also comes with a denim strap, a trademark of the Heritage assortment. the material is plain-woven using 19th-century Jacquard looms by a 150-year-old French company. the strategy of manufacture is unusual and also the feeling on the wrist is extraordinarily snug. however our photographer preferred the alternate strap manufactured from brown leather, that matched his handcrafted wallet.

Remembering my wedding day 15 years ago today
15 years ago today on April 9th, 2000 I married the man who would change my world forever.
Today I will choose to remember Marlon by smiling knowing that he chose me as his wife. No long winded post, no heartbreaking photos, no deep thoughts other than to say I wish him peace in his life anew – and as for me, I hope and pray that I get another chance at love again just as Marlon wished for me.
And…when I do – I will bring into a relationship what l learned from the incredible love story I had with the amazing John- Marlon Suaza.
{Excerpt from my book} Page 85
"In his departure from my world, I can see so much more clearly now. If I had to give that young girl real life concrete advice on how to love, I would give her my recipe for love, with my five secret ingredients:
1. Accept his differences
2. Make sure you have your own passion and your own dreams
3. Respectfully agree to disagree
4. When you agree to disagree, have enough compassion to meet on neutral ground
5. Simply love him
If these lessons apply to your life – use them fearlessly. It took me losing him – to learn how to truly love. In his death, he gave me life. – There are no regrets.

Isak Rawit sentenced to six months in jail for laser attack on a United flight over Chuuk lagoon

The Kaselehlie Press
June 5, 2018
Chuuk—Based on his guilty plea that he aimed a laser pointer at an aircraft, Isak Rawit of Chuuk was sentenced to four and a half years in jail. All but six months of his jail sentence was suspended. He is to report to jail by 5:00 p.m., on June 13, 2018 to serve out his sentence.
During the suspended portion of his sentence, the court placed Rawit on probation and his laser pointer was confiscated without compensation.
Rawit could have been sentenced to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine for each of the two counts of the crime he was charged with committing. The government dropped one of the charges.
United Airlines pilots, Captain Kidder and Captain Falsani, reported that at approximately 9:40 PM on October 29 and again at 2:30 AM on October 30, they were attacked by a green laser light during flights. The pilots reported the coordinates of the origin of the laser beam as being in waters off Ruo in Chuuk State.
Through an investigation and questioning, National Police learned that Isak Rawit had been fishing in those waters on that night and that he owns a laser pointer with red and green lights. The laser pointer is similar to military grade laser pointers used to aid in sighting targets. It is not the small type of laser pointer that can be bought at variety stores. The criminal information says that the pointer that was used is six inches long and in addition to the laser beams, also has a flashlight mode. It is not a crime to own that type of laser pointer, but it is a crime to point it at an aircraft.
Rawit told the police that he and five other men were spear fishing in waters off Ruo. He admitted that each time he saw the United Airlines plane pass overhead, he took his laser pointer out of his bucket and shined it at the plane.
Prosecutors said that a United Airlines pilot testified about the dangers of laser pointer attacks on pilots when they are flying saying that an attack is hazardous to the pilots who are charged with the safety of their passengers.

Through agreements with various developers, the DC government has attempted to integrate low and moderate income families into market rate condominium projects, most of which are in Northwest DC. While the idea was noble, it has been ill-designed.
The City placed 20 year resale restrictions on the Affordable Dwelling Units (ADU), assuming that if low and moderate income people (between 30% and 80% of the Area Median Income) purchased an ADU, these affordable owners would be able to resell to another family earning the same income as the original owner earned at the time of purchase. The City also assumed that the original owners would be able to earn a fixed percentage at the end such a sale. Unfortunately, the City did not factor in escalating condo fees or the costs associated with reselling the ADU. So now, when ADU owners need to resell their units for whatever reason, many of them cannot. With the increased condo fees, many of the units would not qualify as affordable for people in the same income categories, and even if they found someone else, the seller would have to come up with 10% of the sale price for closing costs fees in order to resell it at whatever price they originally purchased it for.
Compounding the issue even further for those owners who cannot sell their units, renting out their homes has not been an option either as the City-imposed rental restrictions forced these owners to rent their units at prices that are lower than the monthly costs associated with owning units. Below is a list of market-rate condo buildings with ADU owners facing rising condo fees compounded by resale and rental restrictions, with many owners paying condo fees almost equal to or more than their mortgage payments.
- Barcelona – 1435 Chapin St NW
- Chase Point – 4301 Military Rd NW
- City Vista K – 475 K St NW
- City Vista L – 440 L St NW
- Fedora – 1451 Belmont St NW
- Kenyon Square – 1390 Kenyon St NW
- The Heights of Columbia – 2750 14th St NW
- Union Row – 2125 14th St NW
- Verona Parc – 1348 Euclid St NW
In any scenario, the end result is the complete opposite of what the City originally set out to do, and many of these families, without intervention, will be returned back into the ranks of folks needing affordable housing, but with damaged credit and no prospect of purchasing again. This situation simply does not make sense as these families have to take the same level of risks and responsibilities of being homeowners, while reaping none of the benefits, even after the City is repaid its subsidies (which actually went to the developer in the first place).
In October 2011, Manna organized affordable owners across these buildings, collected physical and online petitions, and met with City Council officials. Throughout 2012, these owners organized within their buildings, sought support from their condo associations, met with City officials, testified publicly and worked through Manna and with the City Council to address their issues. Direct meetings between affordable owners and the Department of Housing and Community Development began in February 2013.
In the summer of 2013, the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) put forward a process to evaluate the affordability of each ADU and possibly allow owners to rent or sell to people in higher income categories. Information on this process and the form are on DHCD's website at http://dhcd.dc.gov/node/619912. More changes need to be made for current and future owners, but this is a significant step in the process.

King, Miller Statement on Obama Administration Decision to Limit Enforcement of Federal Immigration Laws
This is a blatant attempt to grant amnesty to potentially millions of illegal aliens in this country
Washington, D.C. – Today, ¬U.S. Rep. Peter T. King (R-NY), Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, and Rep. Candice Miller (R-MI), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security, issued the following statement in response to the Obama Administration's Thursday announcement that it would limit enforcement of federal immigration laws:
"This new non-enforcement policy announced by the Obama Administration Thursday is a blatant attempt to grant amnesty to potentially millions of illegal aliens in this country, and is totally unacceptable.
"In reality, this decision to vastly expand the exercise of 'prosecutorial discretion' in enforcing our federal immigration laws means that the Administration will now be, in a huge number of cases, simply ignoring those laws.
"The President and members of his Administration must enforce this nation's laws, just as they have sworn in their oaths of office to do.
"On July 25, in a speech to the National Council of La Raza, the President himself said, 'I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own…but that's not how our system works…That's not how our democracy functions. That's not how our Constitution is written.' Apparently the President's understanding of how our system of government works has changed since last month."

Sometimes things just beg to be ridiculed. Here in the Cheap Seats, we are more than happy to oblige.
With this new found proliferation of hideous-looking uniforms in college football on a weekly basis, this kind of thing cannot be ignored. We intend to provide you with a recap of the worst faux pas each week right here in the Cheap Seats.
We were really hoping this wouldn't be necessary. But, alas, no one knows when to leave well enough alone.
We will start this week with the Missouri Tigers. Fox Sports columnist Jen Floyd Engel, (twitter @engeljen), a Mizzou alum said it best when she tweeted "Dear Football Watching Peeps, Missourians do not as habit dress this abysmally. Also Mizzou is black-gold not dirt-mustard."
Nothing really hideous about the Stanford look. Just that it's not.........Stanford. Stanford has always been scarlet and white. The all black is actually a good look, it's just not Stanford. And we really don't care for the flat look on helmets.
Usually looking good and on the cutting edge of stylish unis are the Oregon Ducks. Today, not so much. The silver and highlighter look just doesn't do it for us.
Texas A&M did not look bad, but what was with the wide striped on the unis? And the grey facemasks? In comparison, those are minor infractions, but we have grown up with A&M and white facemasks. And none of those silly wide stripes. Just makes no sense.
On the positive side, Virginia looked quite snazzy in the orange headgear. And we go back a week to give huge props to Georgia Tech and that sweet honeycomb look they broke out against Virginia Tech (who, by the way, need to ditch the orange jerseys).
Granted, we didn't get to see all of the good, bad and ugly this weekend, but we'll try to do better in the future. We now hereby proclaim #CFBUniWatch as the official twitter hashtag for college football uniforms, both good and bad.

The last time I mentioned sour beer it was as an aside in a post about the appeal of Budweiser and other mass-produced domestic beers. I've always been an equal opportunity imbiber, as happy with a cold, crisp lager cranked out of a factory brewery as I am with a locally brewed craft beer. But I have a particular affinity for sour beers, the Old-World variants that make your face pucker and pack flavors I've heard described as barnyard and horse blanket in every sip.
I'm not the only one who loves them. NPR pointed out the growing popularity of sour beers at this year's Great American Beer Festival, and noted that they're easier than ever to find at your local bar or grocery store. Sour beers from far off breweries are certainly getting easier to order here in Dallas, but are there any local breweries that feature these Old World beauties?
"Dallas could absolutely use a brewery that does sours," Michael Peticolas of Peticolas Brewing Company writes in an email. "It's a void in our market."
He agrees that sours are becoming more popular nationally but points to the complexity of brewing these beers as a barrier for his brewery. "There is a difference between brewing a sour beer just to have a sour beer and brewing a beer that has the complexity that is required of the style," he writes. Any brew can be soured if the brewer sees fit, but Peticolas enjoys "those that fully embrace the intricacies of the unique style."
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to the Observer's mission. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Dallas's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
It's not just complexity that keeps local sours at bay, though. Wim Bens at Lakewood Brewing Company says brewing a sour beer is always on his mind, but the bacteria used to create that tang can be tricky. Every brewer knows yeast well -- beer can't be brewed without it -- but the bacteria used to sour beer aren't as commonly used, and as Bens puts it, "They're a little more feisty."
Lactobacillus is the same bacteria that gives sourdough its tartness, lends tang to yogurt and makes sauerkraut sour. In the right beer it's delicious, but if the bacteria aren't carefully controlled, they could accidentally contaminate one of his other brews -- something his lager drinkers wouldn't appreciate.
There is a small glimmer of hope, though, for local sour beer fans. Bens says he set aside one of his first batches of La Dame du Lac, a Bière de Garde he brewed as a special release, and has been aging it as a sour. It's a small batch, but they'll offer a taste this weekend at Booktoberfest, a Halloween-themed spin on their weekly brewery tour event.
You were looking to try out your costume early, anyway, weren't you? Just don't be a keg. Someone did that already.

How to treat herpes? Whether or not you are having herpes, it is helpful to learn what herpes and how you can treat herpes. In this article, we will talk about natural cure for herpes.
Herpes is probably the most common STD brought by the HSV or Herpes Simples Virus. This type of virus lives within the nerve ganglia after the first exposure to the said virus. Herpes, a common and mild infection but this is a very contagious infection. This virus infection is both common in men and women. This viral disease has two types. The first one is HSV1, which causes cold sores on the face and lips. The second one is HSV2, which causes genital herpes lesions.
The signs of herpes are usually in the form of blisters and sores on the genitals and lips. Having herpes is just a simple problem but it can be worsen by carelessness, anxiety, fatigue, and stress.
How to treat herpes?
There are many ways on how to treat herpes including topical and oral anti-viral creams, medicinal herbs, essential oils, and oxygen therapy. The treatment for herpes depends on the area of infection: oral, facial, and other parts of the body. Before choosing a treatment, the doctor has some issues to deal with that will depend on the stage and strain of the virus. Anti-viral therapies are the most effective cure for herpes for most patients and can be combined with other treatments as well. These kinds of herpes treatment and other effective therapies are proven to be efficient in stopping the virus, but do not prevent recurrence once the treatment is done. The purpose of the treatment is to provide relief from pain brought by herpes sores and lessen the time it would take to heal.
But the question still remains, is there a natural cure for herpes?
There are a lot of natural cure for herpes like vitamins and herbs. Some of them are sage, myrrh, lavender, red marine algae, olive leaf extract, and L-lysine. They are all proven to be effective on treating herpes and reduce the recurrence. Home treatment for herpes targets on reducing the risk of recurrent outbreaks, relieving symptoms, and helping you cope with the long-term condition. A natural treatment from a healing book like Get Rid of Herpes has no side effects as long as the author is reliable. Sarah Wilcox wrote this eBook and she is very credible in this field.

The fact is that herpes cannot be cured and it will remain in the body forever. But with effective herpes treatment, there is no reason herpes virus to get in the way of living. One of the objectives of living with herpes is to have a healthy sex life yet not spreading the virus to someone else.


text: This mouse may not look like anything special, but it's the first of its kind. The egg cell used to create the rodent didn't come from the ovaries of an adult mother, but were developed in a dish from egg precursor cells of a mouse fetus. To observe how sperm and egg cells form, researchers have long been trying to grow them outside the body, by coaxing and culturing the so-called primordial germ cells (PGCs) that give rise to them. (A research team in China recently reported the creation of spermlike cells in vitro.) But until now, efforts to grow oocytes, or egg precursor cells, have involved temporarily grafting a mix of PGCs and their surrounding cells back onto a mouse ovary or kidney. In a dish, the follicles that are supposed to contain each developing egg typically end up malformed and clumped together. A new study published online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences proposes a potential reason: too much estrogen in their culture medium. When the researchers cultured fetal mouse ovaries with a compound that blocks estrogen receptors, the follicles inside separated properly. And after being fertilized and implanted into surrogate mothers, the resulting eggs produced apparently healthy mice like the one above. The new technique will allow researchers to better understand how eggs mature by directly observing complex signaling between an oocyte and the surrounding cells that direct its development. And some see the work as a step toward a more distant and ambitious goal: If an analogous technique can work in human cells, scientists might someday treat infertility by making healthy eggs from other cells in a woman's body, such as skin cells.

News from the Darwin Sailing Club
Sail, socalise and dine in the heart of Darwin
Sail, socalise and dine in the heart of Darwin
The DSC Youth Match Racing squad would like to thank all those members that supported the barbeque and 100 club we ran on Sunday. We are fundraising for the upcoming SHARP Australian Youth Match Racing Championships at the CYCA on Sydney Harbour. We will be travelling down to compete in the last week of September.
The Youth Racing Squad have had two teams training twice a week in the club's Elliot 7's. It's been great to mix the juniors with the youth of the club. Improving their racing skills and strengthening the team atmosphere between the club's youth.
A special thank you to Di Wiltshire, Dominique and Brian Lynch for their guidance in running the barbeque. The sticky date puddings were provided by Di. The sausages and burgers were from Parap butcher. The bread was kindly donated by the Outback Bakery.
The next barbecue is after racing at the Darwin Open Match Racing Champs on 2nd and 3rd September. Hope to see you there and once again thank you for your support.

CNET Australia, responding to an article in MISAustralia / Financial Review, breaks down why they feel that the talk of Freeview in Australia is just a smoke-screen and not a real threat to Seven Network's deployment of TiVo. The MIS/FI article certainly is full of weasel words like "understood to have said" and "is believed to have", without citing any hard facts or sources to back up the speculative statements. It really comes across as written by someone with a bias towards Freeview, looking for an angle to pile some FUD on Seven's TiVo plans.
CNET certainly seems to feel that way as well, breaking down the Australian DVR market and why they feel TiVo will still be a strong brand.
We're not apologists for TiVo, but we don't think it's an amazing idea, given that the marketplace is going to be crowded with plenty of different options come the middle of the year — Foxtel iQ2, TiVo, IceTV, etc. We don't think "branding" the already available EPG will make much of a difference to whether TiVo launches or not.
The Freeview board is only meeting for the first time this Friday, so their plans are still hazy. It sounds like they're starting off with nothing more than a branding exercise. They'll be putting the Freeview brand and logo on their existing EPG and digital channels, and only later will they be offering actual Freeview DVR hardware. It sounds like an effort to forestall adoption of TiVo, which Seven is planning to bring to market in June, as well as slow adoption of the Foxtel iQ2 DVR. Since the Freeview camp won't have hardware to compete, they're going to rely on pushing the brand without hardware to back it up and FUD about the competition.

The next Ashes series will be in England in 2015. Australia are the current holders of the Urn having beaten England 5-0 in the 2013/14 series.
As Australia are the current holders of the Ashes (having won the previous series 5-0 in 2013/14), they only need to draw the series to keep the Ashes. So if you are betting on the outcome of the Ashes, be careful when it comes to bets on Australia retaining the Ashes, as opposed to bets on Australia winning the Ashes.
A bet on Australia retaining the Ashes, is a bet on Australia winning or drawing the series (it is basically a bet on the Aussies not losing the series). This makes it a 'two horse race bet', it is a bet on who will have the Ashes at the end of the series…….. While a bet on the series outcome, is a three horse race. You can bet on either an England win, an Australia win, or a drawn series.
Live Ashes Betting
Current Ashes betting sees Australia as favourites given England's abysmal form over the past few months. Some of our list of UK and Ireland Bookmakers even have the Aussies' odds on favourite, but in general Australia can be backed at around 6/5 to 5/4. Australian visitors can check out live Ashes betting odds from our list of Australian Bookmakers.
England are now available at a best price of 7/4 with Stan James, with a drawn series currently at 5/1 with Bet365.

Suva, Fiji, August 2012 - ''Young children are precious and I have to handle them with great duty of care, as they are the pillars of tomorrow's world as leaders and citizens.''
These were the words of Mohenesh Singh a child advocate, former candidate of Vodafone ATH Fiji Foundation and current Chairman of APTC Alumni Association Fiji west.
"As being a man and working in early childhood field is something unique for me as well as challenging," said Singh
Singh said that ECE is traditionally seen as a female dominated profession in Fiji but as a child worker he loves this task.
He believes that nurturing a child to its full potential takes a father, a mother and the whole community.
"Children are the pure form of human kind therefore it is the responsibility of human race to care, nurture and develop, with full support to a child, so they can reach their full potential in life. Male or female, we all need to share the responsibility of a child's care."
Singh said that he chose this profession because he strongly believes that in the education sector, early childhood education is the most important part of human schooling life which provides a unique opportunity in life of an individual - a period where changes can be made and the foundations laid for exploring the challenges of diversity and inclusion.
He added that the experiences, beliefs and attitudes that children encounter in this period will maintain a strong influence on their future acceptance and appreciation of diversity.
"It is important that young children develop self confidence, independence and positive self esteem to feel valued as unique individuals with specific skills and interest," he said.
Singh has been involved with young children's education for the past 8 years and enjoys his role as child advocate and ECE specialist. He has also done a project on early childhood recently under Vodafone ATH Fiji foundation where he visited 15 childcare centres and promoted ECE effectiveness and importance.
By choosing this field Singh has set an example and showed the nation that not all males are predators but can be good child advocates. Currently he is working on plans to do more charity work for needy children of Fiji.

Things I'm Happy, Excited, or at least not cranky about today:
1. The SCBWI Austin conference, which starts today, where I'll be presenting my workshop: Advice from a Bookseller and doing critiques. I love doing both those things, love seeing author friends, love having a couple days in Austin, love learning from other speakers. Also, possibly there is uninterrupted work time stashed in those days and I can come closer and closer to finishing this book.
2. A bit more on Laurie Colwin, whose writing I praised earlier this week. I treated myself to Home Cooking: A Writer in the Kitchen and it is such a grand read. It's so refreshingly matter of fact - just hey-- here's how I make fried chicken and why I think it's the perfect fried chicken. It's conversational and after a long day of a million things, I can sink into this plain, delightful prose and it's like a blanket of happy.
3. Getting up early to write. Okay I hate getting up early. But it is quiet and once the dog's needs are met, I get to cozy up to the laptop and get some work done and it's just me and the page and the words and we have a good time together, my words and me, before the news of the day (the crazy rants and tweets and mutterings of you know who and the awful things that people do and say) seeps into my brain.
4. The great day I had this past Tuesday taking Brendan Kiely and Jessie Chaffee on school visits and listening to them talk writing and feminism and toxic masculinity and how to get past the bad stuff and I'm telling you they had those kids held rapt when they talked about falling in love with each other's words.
5. My critique partners who almost never fail to ask questions that help make my work fuller and more layered.
Happy Friday my friends.

A Napa youth who insists on anonymity—let's call him "Bobby Jones"—recently performed a civic duty that suggests the next generation may not be as ecologically challenged as some suspect.
Eleven-year-old Jones went solo to the Napa County Resource Conservation District office in Napa last week to complain about a large mound of peanuts he found behind their office complex weeks ago when exploring the creek with a friend. The peanuts looked like the ones he'd seen appearing mysteriously in his backyard farther down the creek.
"I'd wondered why there were so many squirrels where I lived," says Jones, who concluded that the squirrels were living off the free peanuts. "It was a huge pile," he says. "I figured they had overpopulated from eating all the peanuts."
The feeding station bothered Jones for over a week, and he discussed possible "suspects" with his mother, who told him that the RCD was not likely the culprit, since their job was eco-educating the public.
When Jones finally got up the courage to confront the adults in the office building, he turned down his mother's offer to accompany him. He said he went alone so nobody would think any adult was "using" him. He walked the creek, pressed though a breach in the fence and climbed to the second level in the complex, where he located the RCD office.
"I asked them if they know who was putting the peanuts out," Jones told the Bohemian. The RCD staff claimed innocence and suggested Jones inquire at a professional office a few doors down. There, Jones found a woman who confessed to feeding the squirrels. Jones asked her to stop.
"The lady was nice to me," says Jones. "But I could tell she was kind of frustrated, like she wished I would go away." Jones explained to the woman that the peanuts made it too easy for the squirrels, and drew other animals like rats. Jones told the woman that if she stopped feeding the squirrels, there would "still be a lot of squirrels, but there wouldn't be so many."
Jones speculated that the peanuts bought her entertainment. "She probably just thought that squirrels are cute," muses Jones, "and that her clients would like to see cute little squirrels running around eating stuff outside the [office] window."
The woman agreed to stop feeding the squirrels if she could at least finish off the bag she'd purchased. "I said she could if she really wanted to," says Jones. "But that she probably shouldn't."
