Here's the Nonsense: The midterm elections prove that Americans have stopped Obama and given a mandate to the Republicans
Here's the Horse Sense: The election results may be good overall, but it's not what people think. It's time to stay alert because we are now in great danger.
There's a lot of joy among those on the right in America this morning. After yesterday's midterm elections that put Republicans in control of the Senate and many governor's offices across the country people are feeling good. But beware, the news is not as good as a lot of people are saying and we are now at our most vulnerable time in at least a century. Electing Republicans was NOT a voice of blind support for the Republican agenda nor was it a wing-clipping for President Obama. It should cause all conservatives to be on guard.
Claiming a mandate from the American people, Republicans are celebrating their victories in yesterday's elections. But what I feared would happen appears to be happening. Most people on the right are not realizing that we are now in a very dangerous position.
President Obama has shown himself to be an ego-maniac far beyond that of most people with huge egos. It's been said since he first took office that he doesn't listen to advisors because he considers himself the smartest guy in the room. His actions have been everything from outrageous to lawless as he's seen himself as the king ruling America and not as an elected president who is put in office to serve the American people. And when a person like that feels he's losing control he's like a wild animal that's been injured and cornered. Never is he more dangerous. Now everyone within his reach will pay the price as he lashes out trying to control the situation.
That's what we now face with this administration. They will now spend the next 2 years doing everything they can to force their agenda upon us. And the next 2 months before the new Congress goes into session will show us exactly where we're headed. Look forward to Obama using the current Congress to force through things he knows will be more difficult after the new Congress comes into session. And as he's done all along, it won't matter what the American people want, only what they (the progressives) want.
The American people did not elect Republicans because they are so enamored with what they have to offer. The Republicans have given them nothing to look to as an example of their leadership. For example, even though the American people have been against Obamacare since before it was enacted into law, very few Republicans have stood up and demanded repeal of the law. In fact, when Ted Cruz led the charge to end Obamacare the Republican Party not only distanced itself from him, many high profile Republicans like John McCain attacked him, even though Cruz was doing what the American people wanted.
And the victories weren't as widespread as many are claiming. I heard one talk show host this morning say that the Republican wave was so big that any Republican running, even for dog catcher, was swept into office. Clearly that wasn't true. While there were wonderful examples of American voters waking up and making important change, such as in North Carolina where Thom Tillis won over Kay Hagan, there were also losses or still undecided races that were very important.
In Colorado, a critical state in this election because of how successful the Democrats were in turning it blue not too many years ago, the news isn't so good. While Gardner took the Senate seat from Udall, definitely good news, the governor's race is still up for grabs. As of this morning at 7:17AM it is still undecided with incumbent governor John Hickenlooper holding 48% of the vote and his opponent Bob Beauprez holding 47%. That's with 93% of the vote counted and it comes out to less than 22,500 vote difference between the two candidates. With Colorado's vote fraud problems it's pretty likely that Hickenlooper will be declared the winner, keeping the state's governor's office in control of the progressive Democrats who are destroying America.
UPDATE: As of 7:59AM the governor's race in Colorado has been decided with Democrat John Hickenlooper holding his governorship winning over Bob Beauprez by only 22,264 votes.
UPDATE #2: Earlier reports said that Hickenlooper had won in Colorado but now, as of 12:50PM it turns out that while the media have projected a win for Hickenlooper and he has claimed victory, Bob Beauprez has not conceded defeat at this time. While I personally hope he waits until every vote is counted, and probably seeks a recount, deep down inside I still believe that shenanigans will win the day for Hickenlooper.
UPDATE #3: At 4:00PM today (Wed., Nov. 5th) it was reported that Beauprez had conceded defeat saying there weren't enough options to try to hold on for a win.
But that's not enough. While people may not care what happens in Colorado because they don't live there, the fact is that it represents a lot for America and the fight we're in to save our nation. Two of Colorado's state senate seats went through a recall in the past couple years because of the hardline push for gun control and changes in laws to reflect that. Two key Democrats were recalled and replaced by Republicans, which was an important sign that the people of the state were not going to accept what the progressives wanted. However, yesterday those same two seats were once again filled by Democrats. Colorado is not anywhere near turned to the right. At best this election will show it as purple. And that's exactly what can happen anywhere in the country.
Another example is California. Jerry Brown won a record 4th term as governor. If Californians, with all of the problems their state has due to the Democrat control for so long, haven't woken up to the need for change, it says a lot about America. Sure, you may think that it's just "those crazy Californians" but the fact is that California isn't as different from other states as people think. Much of what happens in America starts in California.
The real issue now is whether the Republicans will step up to the plate and hold the Obama administration accountable. Ted Cruz is already demanding that they do, but don't hold your breath. They will need constant pressure from the voters to keep them heading in the right direction. And that won't just come through threats of politicians losing their jobs. Threats only work for so long. What we also need to do is let the politicians know that we will stand behind them if they do the right thing. If they are sure we have their back they will be less likely to abandon the will of the people. Remember, Republican politicians in Washington are for the most part very cowardly. They have to know we will stand behind them no matter how badly they are attacked by the left and the media.
Obama has already promised an Executive Order for amnesty for criminal immigrant invaders before Christmas (note that's while the current Congress is still in session). The Republican leadership is in support of amnesty, they just don't want it through executive order. I would guess that Obama will get amnesty, but whether it will come through executive order or the Republicans giving in and passing it in Congress is yet to be seen. Either way it won't be what Americans want.
The Republicans have an opportunity but if they blow it they will blow their chance not just in 2016, but for the future. If they do stand up and hold Obama accountable the American people will rally behind them. Their past record doesn't show this happening. It's up to us to give them the support they need so that they will do their jobs.
The Horse Sense Blog compares the nonsense in today's news with good ol' fashioned horse sense
"…I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve.… It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings." - Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775

March 2, 2015
Lunch, Dinner, Winter, Fall, Comfort Food
Watch Stephanie demonstrate how to make dreamily creamy carbonara mac and cheese in this video
Serves: 8 to 10
Unsalted butter, for the baking dish
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (1-inch-thick) slice guanciale or pancetta, cut into small dice
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 cups whole milk, or more if needed, hot
4 large egg yolks, lightly whisked
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups (8 ounces) grated Asiago cheese, plus more for the top
1½ cups (6 ounces) grated Irish white cheddar, plus more for the top
1½ cups (6 ounces) grated American cheddar, plus more for the top
1 cup (4 ounces) grated aged fontina cheese, plus more for the top
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for the top
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound pipe rigate, cooked just under al dente
½ cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 10 x 10 x 2-inch baking dish and set it aside. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
2. Add the garlic to the fat in the pan and cook until light golden brown, 1 minute. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the hot milk, raise the heat to high, and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the eggs until incorporated and let cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the thyme, cayenne, and all the different cheeses until completely melted. Season with salt and pepper. If the mixture appears too thick, add additional warm milk, ¼ cup at a time.
3. Put the cooked macaroni in a large bowl, add the cheese sauce, reserved pancetta, and the parsley, and stir until combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
4. Combine an additional ¼ cup each of Asiago, cheddars, fontina, and Parmesan in a bowl, and sprinkle evenly over the top. Bake until the dish is heated through and the top is a light golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

The A&P Sommer Foundation
The Adrienne & Pierre Sommer Foundation
Involving animals, improving lives
Established in 1971, the Adrienne & Pierre Sommer Foundation is a French non-profit organization that provides funding for HAI programs, research, and learning at healthcare, social service, educational, and correctional institutions throughout France.
The Foundation pursues founders Adrienne and Pierre Sommer's initial goal of raising children's awareness and understanding of animals by designing and distributing educational materials for children of ages 3 to 11. It has been a major sponsor for family-oriented exhibits including "Dogs and Cats" and "Baby animals" at Paris' Cité des Sciences Museum; it consistently provides funding for educational farms and dog-behavior workshops geared toward those with special needs as well as the general public.
The Foundation's second mission is to support animal-assisted interventions in social welfare and healthcare sectors. Because involving animals can effectively enhance therapies and programs for handicapped children and adults, troubled youth, dependent seniors, and prisoners and prison staff. To this end, the Foundation provides public and private establishments with funding for approximately 60 initiatives every year, for a total of 700 initaitves sponsored since 2003.
The Foundation is dedicated to furthering HAI research and knowledge. It does so though research grants, academic awards, and involvement in national and international conferences.
The A&P Sommer Foundation is financially independent and has operated under the auspices of the Fondation de France, the country's leading umbrella for philanthropic organizations, since 1984.

Leonardo between the cuts and the carousel of the armchairs
Does the Government also want to change the leaders of Leonardo?
The main problems of the Italian aerospace and defense company Leonardo are linked both to the few important contracts signed in the last year, and to the Government political-industrial choices. On the first point in the first 9 months of 2018 Leonardo received important orders (for helicopters) from China, Qatar and the United States, the latter contract signed with the US Air Force (USAF) sees the Italian company participate with Boeing which is the "prime contractor". Instead, for the order of 28 NH-90 aircraft received from Qatar the Italian company will be the "prime contractor" but will have to divide a part of the proceeds with the other companies participating in the European consortium. As for the contracts then, this year Leonardo lost -also because of wrong political-industrial choices of the previous management (see AVIONEWS)- the important $ 9.2 billion contract to equip the USAF with 351 new advanced training aircraft, won by the aircraft proposed by Boeing-Saab.
Despite this, the orders -as reported in the third quarter financial statements- increased compared to the same period last year, as well as revenues increased by 2.4% thanks mainly to the Helicopters division and, to a much lesser extent, to the Electronic, Defense and Security Systems. For the CEO Alessandro Profumo the numbers is "in line with expectations, which give confidence regarding long-term sustainable growth in line with the objectives of the business plan".
In fact, the difficulties for Leonardo are also linked to the absence of an industrial policy by the Government, which in the Multiannual Program Document (DPP) for the Defense for the three-year period 2018-2020, presented by Defense Minister Elisabetta Trenta, reduction of expenses for 500 million euros. The government decision will penalize both the Italian Armed Forces and Leonardo as the cuts will affect the NH-90 helicopter, the modernization of the Tornado fighters, the VBM 8x8 Freccia armored vehicle and the MBDA CAMM ER missile. The savings obtained to refinance employment centers (see "basic income") will have an important impact on the main Italian defense company (and one of the most important in the world), directly or indirectly involved in all these programs. The risk is that revenues may fall in the coming years, especially if you can not get other orders for helicopters or aircraft in other countries, where you will need to find suitable industrial partners.
To do this it would be necessary for the Government to undertake a foreign policy decided to also support Italian exports, perhaps taking as an example from what the United Kingdom is doing -next to exit from the European Union- towards China by allowing industry of national defense to have an important outlet market. But if cuts continue to occur and no one from the top of the Armed Forces and from the defense industry will say anything, it seems increasingly difficult to imagine a rosy future. Above all, what could be lacking is the international competitiveness on the international markets by Leonardo, which will continue to rely only on the foreign sales of civil and military helicopters.
Even the Government's decision on the future of the F-35 will have important repercussions on Leonardo, especially if a new cut (after those made by the Monti government) or a "improbable" exit from the program. The main consequence would fall on the factory in Cameri (Novara) which would remain virtually unused, also due to the fact that there are no new projects on the horizon.
The responsibilities are not only governmental, because even the decisions made by Leonardo in recent years have led to the loss of important positions in the market of land vehicles (works in jv with Iveco), naval cannons (Oto Melara) and Space, seen that in this year (as in the past) the orders received in this sector are zero with Thales Alenia Space (Thales 67% and Leonardo 33%) that is the master. The development of a company of this scale at the level of jobs and investments in research and development can not come essentially from helicopters, which find huge spaces in the markets thanks to the Division's management.
It remains to understand what is the will of the Government and if in the project there is also the replacement of Alessandro Profumo -like what has already been done with the top of the main public companies- or if the CEO is to take a step back.

Persian Carpets & rugs:
The Persian carpet , meaning "to spread" in persian, is an essential part of Persian art and culture. Carpet weaving is undoubtedly one of the most distinguished manifestations of Persian Culture and art, and dates back to ancient Persia. In 2008, Iran's exports of hand-woven carpets was $420 million or 30% of the world's market. There is an estimated population of 1.2 million Weavers in Iran producing carpets for domestic markets and international export. Iran exports carpets to more than 100 countries, as hand-woven rugs are one of its main non-oil export items. The country produces about five million square metres of carpets annually—80 percent of which are sold in international markets. In recent times Iranian carpets have come under fierce competition from other countries producing reproductions of the original Iranian designs as well as cheaper substitutes.
The designs of Persian carpets are copied by weavers from other countries as well. Iran is also the world's largest producer and exporter of handmade carpets, producing three quarters of the world's total output. Though in recent times, this ancient tradition has come under stiff competition from machine-made products. Iran is also the maker of the largest handmade carpet in history, measuring 60,546 square feet (5,624.9 square metres).
Persian Carpets can be divided into three groups; Farsh / Qāli (sized anything greater than 6×4 feet), Qālicheh (قالیچه, meaning "small rug", sized 6×4 feet and smaller), and nomadic carpets known as Gelim (گلیم; including زیلو Zilu, meaning "rough carpet"). In this use, Gelim includes both pile rugs and flat weaves (such as Kilim and Soumak).
A Kashan rug is a type of Persian Rug from the area of Kashan. Kashan is a city in the Center of Iran. There was production of Persian Carpet at Royal workshops in the 17th and early 18th century. The Persian Carpet workshops ceased production in about 1722 after the Afghan invasion.
And now Kashan is the best and the Capital of both handknotted and machine made Carpet & rug in IRAN.

Xgenex is committed to developing solutions today that will deliver immediate and long-term value. By 2050, the world population will require 100% more food and 70% of that food must come from efficiency – improving technology. These sobering facts define our future and the challenges we face. These facts also define the opportunity that Xgenex is dedicated to helping our industry address. At Xgenex we recognized that the old, established and outdated methods used in food production have served us well until now but will not be adequate for us to meet the challenges we will face soon and in the future. We often hear about outbreaks of diseases that are caused due to the presence of pathogens in food. For example, E.coli has been in news several times for all the wrong reasons. From ground beef, raw clover sprouts, ready to eat salads to spinach and spring onion greens, E.coli has been found. By consuming such foods, people have fallen ill and many have succumbed death. This should never be the case. That is why Advancing Sustainability and Green Technologies are the core values that define our business. Technology of the future will move food to markets faster. Food will have longer shelf life, they will be free from pathogens like E.coli, Listeria, Salmonella, etc., and will offer more information to the consumer at the point of sale. Flavor, Taste, Nutrition, Safety and Ethics will dominate food production decision making. Companies that produce safe product at a fair profit will gain consumer confidence and displace those that are less prepared for a new and dynamic marketplace. Developing and advancing the new technologies that enhance our future is our mission at Xgenex.

(Photo: Lost_in_the_Midwest/Shutterstock) Share Twitter Pinterest Email Home Sustainable Eating Pest Control Natural Cleaning DIY Family Green Living Thrift & Minimalism Late last Thursday afternoon, I dug through my freezer trying to figure out what to make for dinner. Having two boys in little league right now has just about killed any attempt at an organized life, and I hadn't been to the grocery store in a week and a half. I was bound and determined not to order in. I ended up finding about half a pound of beef cubes that were a couple of months old. I defrosted them and cleaned out the vegetable drawer to make kabobs (which I grilled on my neighbor's grill because I was out of fuel, too!) As I dug through my freezer, I found containers of small, leftover portions from dinners past, many that were too freezer burned to salvage. My efforts to not waste food sometimes fall short. I chastised myself properly, then went on to dinner at hand. Later that evening, I came across a piece Mark Bittman wrote last week, Freeze that Thought. In it, he encourages readers to "conscientiously use the freezer." Ah ha, I thought. That's where I'm falling short. I'm using my freezer, but I'm not using it conscientiously. Bittman could have been speaking right to me when he wrote: In that messy box you have some ice cubes, some stuff you bought frozen — a pizza? Lean Gourmet? peas? — and maybe, if you cook a lot, some stock or hastily stored leftovers. You also have a load of things you've already forgotten about and will eventually toss, even though you would have been guilt-struck if you had discarded them when they were fresh. Sounds exactly my freezer minus the Lean Gourmet. He suggests two ways to conscientiously use the freezer. Freeze raw ingredients that you have too much of or whose life you want to prolong. Freeze things that are already cooked. Okay, I do those things. But how can I do them better so the things actually get eaten down the line? Bittman goes on to give lots of advice on how to freeze foods that make it easy to prolong their quality and easy to figure out what's in there by labeling it (why don't I do that?). He gives tips for freezing leftover meals, beans and grains, stock and materials to make stock, bread, pastry, tomatoes and tomato sauces, bacon, fresh herbs, fish, fruits, vegetables, bananas, tortillas, egg whites, parmesan rinds, chicken or duck livers, wine, citrus, and burritos. His tips rely heavily on zippered plastic bags, plastic wrap, and tinfoil, but I'm sure many of those things can be replaced with reused plastic bread bags, reused cereal box liners, and other salvaged items. If you do use zippered plastic bags, wash them thoroughly and let them air dry. They can be used again and again – same with the tinfoil. By conscientiously using the freezer and conscientiously using and reusing packaging, a lot of waste can be avoided and quite a bit of money can be saved, too.

The Gaddafi clan: Where are they now?
- Published
A year after the capture and violent death of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi on 20 October 2011, what has happened to his remaining family and members of his inner circle?
Three of Gaddafi's sons were killed in the uprising, including former National Security Adviser Mutassim Gaddafi, who died at the hands of the rebels on the same day as his father.
Surviving Gaddafi family members have experienced mixed fortunes since October 2011, with his widow finding refuge in Algeria, while his son and former heir-apparent Saif al-Islam is currently awaiting trial in a Libyan prison.
Safiya Farkash, the mother of seven of Gaddafi's eight biological children, has spent the last year in Algeria after being given refuge there for "humanitarian reasons".
Along with her daughter Ayesha and Gaddafi's son from his first wife Fathia, she entered Algeria on 29 August as rebels took control of Tripoli.
She is thought to be housed in a secure villa in the town of Staoueli near Algiers, under strict orders from the Algerian government not to make public political statements or interfere in Libyan affairs.
If events had turned out differently, Muhammad may well have spent the summer in London at the 2012 Olympic Games, in his capacity as the head of the Libyan Olympic Committee.
Instead, Gaddafi's eldest son has spent more than a year in Algeria after fleeing when the rebels took control of Tripoli.
Born to Gaddafi's first wife Fathia, he was also the chairman of the company which controlled Libya's mobile phone and satellite communications networks.
He was not indicted by the ICC and is not thought to have played a large part in attempting to quell last year's uprising.
Former heir-apparent Saif al-Islam was captured a month after his father's death, and has since been in custody in the mountain town of Zintan.
The London School of Economics graduate has been at the centre of a protracted struggle between the International Criminal Court, where he is wanted for charges of crimes against humanity, and the Libyan courts, who insist he must face trial in Libya.
The Libyan judiciary seems to have won the battle, but a date for his trial has not yet been set. It was reported that a modern detention facility, complete with a basketball court and a personal chef, has been prepared for him in the capital Tripoli.
Saadi Gaddafi, the former head of the Libyan Football Federation, has been granted asylum in Niger, where he resides in a state guesthouse in Niamey after fleeing across the Sahara Desert.
Saadi is notorious for a brief career in top-flight Italian football which was cut short by a failed drugs test, as well as his playboy lifestyle.
Niger has refused Libyan requests to extradite him, with the justice minister saying he is "certain to face the death penalty".
In September, Interpol issued a "red notice", which would oblige member countries to arrest him. Last December, Mexican officials said they had discovered a smuggling ring which was trying to bring Saadi to Mexico under a false name.
Hannibal is the fifth son of Gaddafi and Safiya Farkash. He is believed to have been in the convoy which crossed into Algeria last August. He had been leading the defence of Gharyan, south of Tripoli, before the rebels took control of the capital.
A trained seaman, Hannibal was the first consultant to the Management Committee of the General National Maritime Transport Company.
He repeatedly made the headlines for his flamboyant, erratic and playboy behaviour. He was once arrested for drink-driving in his Porsche on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
He also caused a diplomatic row with Switzerland after attacking two Swiss hotel staff, leading his father to jail two Swiss businessmen and impose economic sanctions against Switzerland.
Aisha Gaddafi, the colonel's only daughter by birth, was granted refuge in Algeria with her mother and brother.
Three days after her arrival it was announced that she had given birth to a baby girl, whom she named Safiya after her mother.
Despite being under tight surveillance by the Algerian government, which is anxious to keep her quiet, she used a Syrian TV channel to call for Libyans to "revolt" against the new government.
She also hired an Israeli lawyer, Nick Kaufman, to petition the ICC to investigate her father's death.
Libyan media outlets have reported that Aisha supported Algeria in a recent encounter against the Libyan football team, saying that the new Libyan side "does not represent her".
Col Gaddafi had long claimed that his adopted daughter Hanaa was killed in a US air strike in 1986, when she was just 18 months old. However, since the revolution there has been growing evidence that Hanaa is still alive, although her current status is unknown.
Video footage has emerged of Hanaa playing with her father and brothers several years after the bombing.
Documents found in Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziyah compound show medical documents and even a British Council certificate under the name of Hanaa Muammar Gaddafi.
Libyan media sources report that Hanaa qualified as a doctor and worked at the Tripoli Medical Centre for several years.
On 20 October, exactly a year after Gaddafi's death, the office of the Libyan Prime Minister said Ibrahim had been captured in the town of Tarhouna, 40 miles south of Tripoli. Other officials expressed scepticism about the report.
There have been several previous rumours about his arrest, but all turned out to be false.
Moussa Ibrahim, who was the face of the regime in the international media, was last seen in Tripoli just before it fell to opposition forces.
He gave almost daily briefings to journalists, assuring them that the regime would prevail even as the rebel offensive entered the capital.
From the same tribe as Gaddafi, Mr Ibrahim studied at several British universities and claimed to have lived in London for 15 years.
Gaddafi's intelligence chief Abdallah al-Sanussi is being held in Tripoli after being deported from Mauritania in September 2012. He fled Libya after last year's uprising and was arrested on his arrival in Nouakchott from Morocco in March 2012, sparking repeated requests to the West African nation from the Libyan government for his return.
In June 2011, the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest for crimes against humanity alleged to have been carried out in Benghazi, the main base of the Libyan opposition during the revolt.
He has been accused of various human rights abuses, including his alleged role in the 1996 massacre of more than 1,200 inmates at Abu-Salim prison in Tripoli.
France has already sentenced Sanussi to life imprisonment for his involvement in the bombing of a French airliner over Niger in 1989 in which 170 people were killed.
Investigators in the US and UK believe he may have further knowledge about the Pan Am airliner bombing in over Lockerbie in Scotland in 1988 in which 270 people died.
Previously one of the Gaddafi regime's most powerful men, Musa Kusa defected about a month into the uprising and flew to the UK via Tunisia. He now lives in Qatar, one of the chief financiers and backers of the Libyan revolution.
Kusa was the head of the Libyan intelligence services from 1994 to 2009, when he became foreign minister until his defection.
A BBC Panorama investigation alleged that he personally tortured prisoners and was involved in the 1996 Abu Salim prison massacre in which more than 1,200 people died.
He denies the allegations and maintains that he has no knowledge of who was responsible for the Lockerbie bombing.

When I now try to either advance or retreat I become delayed, so I can't advance/retreat at the beginning of the next phase, but I'm no longer delayed and can advance/retreat the turn after, which will cause me to become delayed again and so on until I'm healed. Did I get that right? - Entering rooms: Does the entry text trigger every single time I enter the room, no matter what, even I have already been through the room several times? -NPCs: -Tyrone Kent/James Harris: Move him backward 1 room: Backward being deeper into the facility? -Leah Bailey: If she's in the Loading Dock, Entry room etc. I have to remove her and increase the proximity dial. She moves backwards, which I guess deeper into the facility so in order to check if it's one of the specified rooms I'd have to look at still unrevealed rooms which would strike me as gaining an unfair advantage?

Top 5 Books of 2015
1. Jefferson's Books by Douglas Wilson
I picked up this monograph at Monticello, and at least for this lover of books, it was delightful. Douglas Wilson shows us the founding father as reader and book collector, featuring images of his reading lists and diagrams classifying types of knowledge (Jefferson was a great list maker and was perhaps most himself when classifying things). This treatment of Jefferson and his books was generally educational, practically instructive, historically interesting, and above all, fascinating. "As Jefferson's library revealed," Wilson writes, "books were for him not ornaments but instruments for coming to terms with the world." (See my blog post on this book here.)
2. The Origins of Political Order by Francis Fukuyama
The eminent political scientist of "End of History" fame does it again. Here he traces the development of political institutions through world history, beginning with our hunter gatherer ancestors and showing how the first modern state developed in China, rule of law in India, and an accountable state in Europe. Fukuyama is nothing if not ambitious, drawing on disciplines as varied as anthropology and evolutionary biology to offer a unified theory of state formation and political stability.
3. Gilead by Marylinne Robinson
Everyone and their aunt had recommended this novel to me, so I finally read it, and I was captivated by its penetrating beauty. Robinson masterfully gives voice to a Midwestern preacher in the last days of his life who is writing to his young son, offering an account of his times that showcases Robinson's eye for the terrible beauty that imbues so much of the ordinariness of life. The Washington Post was right in saying of this book that "one feels touched with grace just to read it." This is a generations-spanning family drama that does the soul good. (See my blog posts on Gilead here, here, and here.)
4. Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
If nothing else, Ta-Nehisi Coates is a fearsomely powerful writer. His June 2014 Atlantic cover story "The Case for Reparations" sparked a national conversation on the notion that Americans need a reckoning with the legacy of racism and injustice against blacks. Between the World and Me is a harrowing meditation on what it means to be black in America and what this says about America. Coates's words are a cry of protest and an indictment on our nation, which he says was built on the backs of blacks, whose "bodies," as he so frequently writes, remain completely unsafe from the depredations of a thoroughly racist system. (See my blog post on this book here.)
5. Republocrat: Confessions of a Liberal Conservative by Carl Trueman
In this book Trueman, a British transplant and professor of theology and church history, skewers Left and Right as he calls on Christians to engage politics intelligently and responsibly. A pro-life, pro-traditional marriage supporter of stricter gun control and universal healthcare, Trueman brings the valuable perspective of a foreigner, one who is also a careful thinker and is concerned more with responsible Christian engagement with political issues than with who is up or down in the perpetual war between Democrats and Republicans. At least for this lover of all things political, this book is a helpful tonic that cuts both ways and encourages me to engage more thoughtfully, carefully, and even lovingly.

Today we�re mourning the loss of Jody Shelley, the Blue Jackets� beloved enforcer, who was traded to the San Jose Sharks last night.
Shelley was probably the Blue Jackets� most popular player. On the ice, he was a gritty, hard-working grinder, sticking up for Columbus� honor with his fists during the lean years when we couldn�t always defend ourselves on the scoreboard. Off the ice, he was a friendly ambassador for the game, using his gap-toothed smile to spread the good word of hockey in an eager expansion city.
One of my most vivid memories of a game at Nationwide came on November 9, 2003, when Calgary was in the barn. Shelley scored two goals that night (still a career high), and the fans really wanted him to get the hat trick. The anticipation was electric -- almost to the point of mass anxiety. If he had gotten the third goal, the celebration would�ve shaken the arena to the foundation. It was the sort of visceral night that makes you appreciate being a hockey fan, and the adrenaline rush you get from watching games in person, even when your team (or your favorite player) really isn�t that good.
I�ve met and interviewed a lot of famous people over the years, and Jody Shelley was hands-down the nicest, most genuine of all. I know it sounds cliche, but it�s true -- he�s just a great guy.
I interviewed Shelley for an October 2005 Alive cover story (we were gonna make the playoffs that year -- ha ha). Although I was a Blue Jackets fan, I�ve never been a sports reporter, so I was a little out of my element in the locker room. Shelley made me feel right at home -- he was happy to see me (which sorta caught me off guard), and happy to chat for as long as I wanted.
But beyond all the nice guy stuff, I think Shelley was popular because he represented our ambitions and shortcomings as an NHL expansion team. Shelley has never been a great offensive forward (he hasn�t played much this year), but he showed us that you can make up for a lack of talent with lots of determination, hard work and tenacity. He busted his butt for us every night, and Columbus loved him for it.

Dam Down
On Friday, crews removed a temporary dam on the Rogue River east of Grants Pass. It had been holding the river back while the 88-year old Savage Rapids Dam was removed so that the Rogue could flow freely again. For 88 years the dam was used to divert water for irrigation. That part wasn't a problem. What was: it also blocked the river for recreation. And it blocked more than 58,000 salmon and steelhead from reaching their spawning grounds each year--many dying instead, in some cases from raised water temperatures in tributaries with reduced flow and resulting higher water temps.
The take down was celebrated on Saturday by a 80 drift boaters, rafters and kayakers who floated through the site of the old dam celebrating NGO WaterWatch's persistence. WaterWatch began the battle to take the dam down in 1988. According to the Associated Press (AP), it wasn't until 2001, when the Grants Pass Irrigation District had lost every lawsuit and spent more than $1 million on legal fees, that it agreed to remove the dam. The irrigation solution: pumps will redirect water as needed.
The Rogue was one of the original rivers to get federal wild and scenic protection in 1968. And this dam was not the last on the Rogue. According to the AP, Gold Ray dam near the city of Gold Hill, is likely to join Savage Rapids soon. Another small diversion dam at Gold Hill has already come out. And a half-built dam on a major tributary, Elk Creek, has been notched.
According to American Rivers, there are severe ecological consequences of dams Dams dramatically alter a river's flow regime by blocking a river's passage, storing water in both large and small artificial reservoirs, and disrupting the cycles that many aquatic organisms depend upon.
There are many NGOs working on dam removals throughout the American West. Read American Rivers study of the Ecology of Dam Removal.

THE Queensland government could be given power to assess the impact of uranium mines in the state under proposed federal changes to environmental approvals.
The revelation emerged on Monday as the environment department was grilled by opposition and Greens senators about the federal government's plan to create a "one-stop-shop" for environmental approvals.
The Queensland and NSW governments have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Abbott government over the plan, which aims to deliver faster approvals and eliminate regulatory duplication.
Opposition to the policy has been fierce, with critics claiming it will erode crucial environmental protections by handing federal powers to the states.
Australian Greens senator Larissa Waters on Monday quizzed officials from the environment department about whether the Commonwealth would retain power over nuclear activity under the proposed changes.
She said Environment Minister Greg Hunt had previously indicated nuclear activity would be "quarantined" under the changes, and asked if this was still the case.
Newly appointed department secretary Gordon de Brouwer told a Senate estimates committee that nuclear activity was "approved by the Commonwealth minister, and assessed under this agreement by the state".
"So this does give away the assessment of uranium mining to Queensland?" Senator Waters asked about the proposed agreements.
"Yes, it allows the state to undertake those assessments, subject to the agreement," Mr de Brouwer replied.
The Newman government wants to begin assessing uranium mining applications from mid-next year after lifting a longstanding ban.
The state has about $10 billion worth of reserves, including $8 billion in the northwest.
Mr de Brouwer stressed both Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Environment Minister Greg Hunt had been "very firm" that standards under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act would be maintained.
First assistant secretary Dr Rachel Bacon said it was too premature to discuss what exact processes would be handed to the states, as the deals were still under negotiation.
But the policy position was to "pursue as comprehensive approach as possible" when it came to accrediting the states, she added.
Greens senator Scott Ludlum asked what purpose the environment minister would serve if these deals went ahead and his responsibilities were handed to the states.
"In order to cut red and green tape and simplify the process ... and still maintain environmental standards at the high level they have been in the past," said Senator Mathias Cormann, acting on behalf of the environment minister.

When Ariel first meets Max and he gives her a big slobbery kiss, you can see her wiping the kiss from her face on the wrong side. 2. In the dinner scene, you can see the covers on the plates have a crescent-shaped handle. The handles are a different style when Sebastian runs across the table moments later. 3. When Ariel stops Eric and Vanessa's wedding, she arrives at the ship without shoes. However, she's wearing shoes in the same scene immediately after getting her voice back. 4. When Ariel first sees the dinglehopper in the shipwreck, it has four tines. When she picks it up, it has three. 5. During the beginning of "Les Poissons," Chef Louis does not have buckles on his shoes. Gold buckles appear the very next time his shoes are shown. 6. During "Kiss the Girl," Ariel's hair is half up and half down for the whole song, but her shadow reflects that it's in a pony tail. 7. When King Triton first enters on his dolphin chariot, he is holding two separate reins. When he lets go of the reins moments later, it has instantly changed into one continuous rein. 8. When Chef Louis apologizes for his ruckus, the buttons on his shirt are on the right-hand side. In the next frame we see him in, his buttons have switched to the left-hand side. 9. In the scene where Ariel and Flounder explore the shipwreck, Flounder gets stuck in the porthole. From the back, his fins are clearly stuck outside of the porthole. When the view changes to the inside of the ship, his fins are shown already through. 10. When King Triton bargains with Ursula, his crown has five spokes. As soon as Ursula transforms him, his crown drops and suddenly has seven spokes. 11. When Chef Louis throws flour onto Sebastian in "Les Poissons," the sauce he is sitting in is brown. In the next frame, this sauce has turned completely white. Flour wouldn't change the color that drastically. 12. King Triton completely obliterates the statue of Prince Eric when he discovers Ariel's grotto. Right after he leaves, we can see the entire face of the statue intact despite being blown up moments before. 13. During Eric and Vanessa's wedding ceremony, the bookmarks in the priest's bible switch places and colors between frames. 14. After King Triton destroys Ariel's grotto, she's seen crying on a rock near a broken vase and a plank of wood. However, in the wide shot of this same scene, the wood is gone, the vase is different, and the rock formation she's crying on has changed. 15. When Vanessa is getting ready for her wedding and singing about her evil plan, she steps on a perfume bottle that wasn't on her vanity five seconds before. 16. The porthole that Scuttle lands at to spy on Vanessa changes design between the time that we see him fly to it and the time that we see him fly from it. 17. Finally, when we first meet Max, the color of his paws change from white to gray between shots. They are white for the rest of the movie. TBH, I think I can see past these tiny mistakes because this movie is still one of my absolute favorites. Related Facebook Comments

Receiving your first invitation to complete a video interview may seem a little nerve wracking, but with proper preparation, video interviews can be a great opportunity for you to showcase your skills and talents to potential employers.
Because it seems that video interviews are quickly becoming the norm in the interviewing process, RIVS sat down with Gregory Rothstein, photography solutions lead at CloudSpotter, to get the scoop on how candidates can put their best feet forward in digital interviews via webcam. From a logistical standpoint, Rothstein says that there are four key factors candidates should consider when preparing for a video interview.
4 Key Factors in Prepping for a Video Interview:
- Environment
Whether completing video interviews from a desktop computer, laptop, mobile device, or tablet, Rothstein advises candidates to participate in their interviews from a "tidy, quiet, and professional setting." This keeps the primary focus of the digital interview on the conversation between you and the interviewer. In a live or one-way video interview, candidates should eliminate any background clutter or noise that might distract the recruiter and taint the interview.
"From a recruiter's standpoint, they want to hire an individual who is organized, and if you have a background that is cluttered, you aren't giving a good impression of your organization skills," says Rothstein. Whether you are completing a video interview from a desk in your bedroom, the kitchen table,an office, or a spot at the public library, you should clean the background behind you and your surrounding desk area for a neat, professional look.
- Lighting
Lighting goes hand in hand with your environment, but it is so important in successfully completing a video interview that Rothstein gives it it's own category.
"Complete video interviews in a well-lit area with good ambient lighting," says Rothstein. "The best time to shoot is during the day, when natural ambient lighting is your best friend."
If you are completing your video interview outside of work hours in the morning or night, Rothstein suggests dimming lights down slightly or using a softer light to avoid harsh shadows on your face.
"Sit slightly behind the light so that the light is shining down to the space in between you and your computer screen to avoid any harsh shadows," advises Rothstein.
- Positioning
The way that you position yourself and your webcam can make a big difference in how you present yourself in a video interview.
"Sit directly in front and centered with your computer," says Rothstein. "Your webcam is in the center of your computer screen so that you are the primary focus of the shot."
If you're sitting in a chair and your computer is on a table or desk, it is likely that you are looking slightly down onto your screen. To avoid an unflattering angle, prop your computer on a couple of books so that your computer is 90 degrees from your torso and that you are able to sit with a straight posture.
- Attire
For a video interview, wear what you would typically wear to an in-person interview. Your attire depends on the position, company, and industry you are applying to; however, it's important to remember a couple of different factors when picking out your outfit for a video interview.
"Choose clothes that don't have any crazy graphics, busy stripes, or bold plaid designs," says Rothstein. "Choose a solid color shirt that has some contrast with your backdrop. For example, if you're interviewing in front of a white wall, wear something like a navy blue shirt that will help you stand out."
Rothstein adds that candidates (both ladies and gentleman) can't go wrong in a nicely ironed button down shirt with a stiff collar.
At the end of the day, the goal of an interview is for you to sell yourself and your abilities so that the recruiter wants to hire you. Appropriate environment, lighting, positioning, and attire all help to eliminate possible distractions and allow you and your interviewer to focus on the interview at hand. Be confident in your preparation for the video interview and optimize the opportunity to connect with your interviewer!

2,000 Down, 138,000 to Go: Authorities Aid Those Who Stayed Behind
Responders try to rescue an estimated 140,000 Texans who ignored orders to flee.
Sept. 14, 2008 -- The boats scattered inland and flooded roads of Texas aren't the biggest concerns for rescuers after Hurricane Ike. The most urgent project facing rescue crews is to try to reach people who remain stuck in their homes thanks to flooding that accompanied the storm.
In a Sunday afternoon news conference, authorities said 1,984 people had been rescued so far, including 394 by air.
In hard-hit Galveston, where Ike came ashore early Saturday, a door-to-door search continues. The only roadway to the island, Interstate 45, is closed to all but emergency vehicles and is blocked in areas by debris, including boats.
Officials had to use the opposite side of the highway to get to Galveston. It could take up to a month to restore power in Galveston, they say, and roads are still flooded.
In Houston, authorities imposed a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. because of downed power lines, water pooling in roadways and darkened streetlights making it too difficult to navigate at night.
"In the interest of safety, we're asking people to not be out in the streets, in their vehicles or on foot," Police Chief Harold Hurtt said.
Officials warned it could be weeks before the nation's fourth-largest city is fully functional again.
"It's going to have to be a lot of neighbor helping neighbor, because people aren't used to living without power," said Houston Mayor Bill White on "Good Morning America Weekend Edition" today. "We will bring this city back up and it will be stronger than ever before we know it."
White said the city likely will have damages in the billions, but was pleased that the majority of residents asked to evacuate did so.
"All of our fire and EMS crews — in a city of 2.2 million — didn't get a single call for a hurricane-related fatality," he said.
Authorities have attributed eight deaths to the storm, including one in Arkansas when a tree fell on a man's mobile home as the remnants of the storm swept through. Five deaths occurred in Texas and two in Louisiana, although authorities said the toll could rise. Residents who tried to return home found that flooded roads and debris-blocked streets prevented them from doing so, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry urged people not to try to return just yet.
President Bush planned to travel to Texas on Tuesday to express sympathy and lend support to the storm's victims. He asked people who evacuated before the hurricane to listen to local authorities before trying to return home.
Towns Underwater
In Orange, Texas, which is near the Louisiana border, residents couldn't wait for help and took matters into their own hands after a town levee reportedly broke and turned minor flooding into a major disaster.
The volunteers used fishing boats to evacuate trapped residents like the sick, elderly and their pets. Some rescued residents who had been urged to evacuate said they didn't have the money or any place to go.
The result was hundreds of people trapped in homes with water literally at their doorsteps -- or higher.
Nearby Bridge City also found itself underwater.
"People are sleeping in their attics with holes punched out — thought it was safer ground there," said one man.
More than 3 million were without power in Texas at the height of the storm, and it could be weeks before it is fully restored. Utilities made some progress by late Saturday, and lights returned to parts of Houston. In Louisiana, battered by both Ike and Labor Day's Hurricane Gustav, 180,000 homes and businesses were in the dark.
Riding Out the Storm
For those who stayed, riding out Ike wasn't easy.
"It seemed like we were OK until the water came up and the man across the street came and carried the babies across," said an emotional Beatrice Fernandez, who eventually made her way to a high school turned shelter.
"It was a little rocky. I think I was fine until I saw how high the water had really risen," said storm survivor Patricia Bolton-Legg, who didn't evacuate.
In Jersey City, Texas, one family huddled while Ike ripped the roof off of the motel room where they were staying.
"We heard a really, really loud explosion and the ceiling just, it felt like we were being sucked out of the room," said Evan Acuna. "My sister who was sleeping next to my dad, she flew away. My dad grabbed her in the air and pulled her down"

US Secretary of State John Kerry warned against Russian missiles sales to Syria saying it would be "destabilising" to the region as he seeks to build diplomatic efforts to end the bloody conflict.
He also reiterated the US stand that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has no role in any transitional government which emerges from growing efforts to bring the warring sides together to map out a political solution.
After three whirlwind days of talks in Moscow and Rome, Kerry is looking to end the stalemate in the 26-month conflict and bring the opposition and the regime to negotiations to end the fighting which has claimed 70,000 lives.

We are able to purchase converters by the piece or estimate the metals contained in the whole cans on behalf of the customer. Our decanning and sampling procedures allow the customer to fully understand the value of his converters and we supply the necessary knowledge and experience to help estimate and hedge the metals contained before cutting and sampling. We offer a diverse range of purchasing and hedging programs and we are happy to discuss the program that best suites the individual supplier. Techemet has over 26 years of purchasing experience, allow us to show you how to minimize your purchasing risks.
Need help with converter values? You've come to the right place. We have catalogued over 40 000 individual catalytic converters and can help you value any converter that was ever made. We offer on line as well as on site converter recognition training and even offer on line buying tools to help ease the confusion of buying so many different types of converters. Our representatives are available to do on site training at the suppliers premises if so desired.
The alternative to selling converters on an as is basis is to have your material toll refined. This involves setting up a toll refining agreement with Techemet for either whole converters or the loose catalyst that has been removed from the converter shell. The essence of a toll refining agreement is that your material is sampled and assayed to determine the amount of Pt, Pd & Rh present and then once the assay is finalized between Techemet and the supplier, the metal can be sold by the supplier at a date and time of their choosing. While toll agreements are standard across the board, certain terms and conditions can be tailored to meet the needs of the supplier.
Techemet has an in house metal trading department. We are able to quote spot or forward prices as well as settle on the London fix. The supplier has the ability to hedge material in advance of delivery to minimize his risk with regards to market fluctuations. Our trading team buys and sells metal from a range of suppliers and customers and Techemet is able to enter into metal supply contracts for buying and selling of all precious metals.

"We all die, the goal isn't to live forever. The goal is to create something that will"
A Memorial is a ceremony where there is no body. It is very much a 'Celebration of Life'. Ceremonies can be held at any time that is significant to you for example:
- When strewing (scattering) or interring (burying) the ashes
- On the anniversary of a death
- Your loved one's Birthday
- To enable family and friends to reflect, if they were unable to attend the funeral
- To include beloved pets in the ceremony
A Memorial is a way of honouring, celebrating and reflecting on the life of your loved one. A meaningful and simple option might be to have the deceased cremated with or without ceremony. Their ashes would then be returned to you for strewing or interment. You, your family, friends and pets can gather at a beautiful location, this can be your home, garden, or other memorable setting, where you can hold a unique and expressive ceremony. Why not create a sacred space to plant a tree. Express your thoughts and feelings through decorating a memory tree. Write and recite poetry or play memorable music. These are just a few rituals that can initiate a beautiful and lasting memory.
I would feel privileged to officiate at your Woodland Burial or Memorial. These can be wonderfully simple, inexpensive and deliver a low carbon footprint. A natural woodland burial is ideal for those who have a love of the countryside. As the body decomposes naturally, it gives back nutrients to the earth, supporting new life to begin. For those left behind, this can be spiritually and emotionally enriching.
Why not speak to me about the cost effective and eco-friendly options available to you.
"We will be known forever by the tracks we leave."

Protecting the data on the journey between the factory floor and the enterprise software is only part of the story. Device and data security is an ever growing concern in our day to day business. True security must be present at every level in an end to end solution. It would be no benefit to encrypt the data transfer if the value in the payload is already compromised. Data must be handled with care from the point it enters a system until the point it leaves. Every step inside our devices and along your data's journey is designed to provide the highest security available.
There exists an ever changing landscape today in the world of security. With our new found access to global libraries of features and software, we must be prepared to maintain the integrity of a system by keeping it up to date and protected from threats. The largest security threat into any system is an out of date device with a known vulnerability. The concept of a fully hardened device that will be able to survive in the field without updates and feature enhancements is already a debunked myth. By providing all levels of update capability, the Edge system is designed to keep you protected into the unknowns of the future.

Cashew butter and apple syrup
Hi Mattie, greetings from France!
I just invested in a Kenwood Chef with an ice cream maker attachment, and am looking forward to trying this recipe. Here in France we have cashew butter, which consists of only puréed cashews, and is nice and smooth. Have you ever tried anything like this, or do you have any idea of the quantity of cashew butter I should use to replace the nuts? If not, I'll try it with say 1/2 cup, adjust the liquid, and let you know my results.
Also, I have some apple concentrate syrup on hand. Have you ever used this? It is nice and sweet, but may give a little acidity, so I might reduce or omit the vinegar. What do you think?
I just discovered your wonderful site, and am looking forward to looking around it! Many thanks!

Going to try out the Spez today on the trails of Case, plan on doing some loops close to the lot in case it needs to be walked back! Also will need to pick up some rim brake shoes if it's going to be my main ride for a few weeks.
This should be interesting/fun!

Now that I just talked to the shop and know what the problem is. I brought the bike in since I was getting a lot of creaking in the head tube area, we figured remove and check the bearing. They did that and reassembled and still creaked, Giant said replace bearings, tried that and still creaked. Shop decided it was probably not the bearings at this point and swapped the fork with another bike on the floor, creaking stopped. Talked to Fox and they think on of the stanchions either loosen up or wasn't pressed properly and to send it back for them to look at. Sounds like they will replace the crown and stanchions.
The good of this is I get a free rebuild, bad is that I'm out the bike for probably 3 weeks!

Namaste you guys!
Add two busted spokes to my list. Not a super big deal, but I'm pretty disappointed since the wheels only have around 300 miles on them. I've been checking the tension regularly and it's seemed to stay pretty even since I retensioned before even using them. I guess I either didn't do a good of a job as I thought, they're shitty wheels, or I'm just really hard on rear wheels.
Luckily I have a backup wheel set, so I can roll that until I get to the bike shop to pick up some more spokes...

Our growing army of rapidly depleting mobile devices are spawning all manner of methods to power them back up again. You got your standard car chargers, your solar powered varieties; there is even a charge-by-motion that will soon (someday) be available. It just makes sense that we can now also add a pen into the mix.
The One Battery Mobile Charger Pen supplies one AA battery worth of external juice. Attach pen to phone, let it charge and you (apparently) got yourself 20 hours of stand-by time or two hours of talk time.
Five different adapters are included, and yes the pen works. Since the pen is bigger than most cell phones it seems a bit awkward to carry around, but it should make for a good thing to keep in a bag or backpack.
