Instructional Support Services Program
The ACE and SLC will be closed on October 12th from 12 PM-5:00 PM for a divisional meeting. If you need assistance during this time, please leave a voicemail at 718-960-8175.
Lehman College's Instructional Support Services Program (ISSP) is home of the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) and Science Learning Center (SLC). The ISSP provides Lehman students with the opportunity to achieve academic success through the guidance and encouragement of peer tutors and professional staff members. We invite students and faculty to utilize the services offered through the ISSP, which include workshops and tutoring for undergraduate and graduate students seeking to improve their skills in writing and content knowledge in specific courses. At the ISSP, all of our tutors have received grades of A or A- in the classes they tutor and most are certified by the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA).
Please take some time to review our website and note the services we offer.
Althea Forde,
History of the Instructional Support Services Program
In the 1980s, tutoring at Lehman College consisted solely of writing tutoring, which took place at the Writing Center in Carman Hall. In 1994, the Writing Center expanded and changed its name to the Learning Center, and began offering tutoring in a variety of humanities and social sciences courses. With the expansion, the Center moved to the Old Gym Building to accommodate the increased flow of staff and students. The Learning Center continued to grow over the years as workshops and symposiums were added to the services available for students. In 2000, the Learning Center further expanded under the current director, Althea Forde, and adopted a new name, the Instructional Support Services Program (ISSP). The ISSP became the umbrella for two tutoring centers: the Academic Center for Excellence, which offers tutoring for writing, social sciences and humanities courses, and the Science Learning Center. Given the expansion in services to students, leadership roles also grew. In 2004, an Assistant Director was hired, followed by a Writing and Literacy Coordinator in 2007, and a Science Learning Center Coordinator in 2008.
Under the direction of Ms. Forde, in 2000 the ISSP attained certification from the College Reading and Learning Association (CLRA), a national organization which certifies tutor training programs. The ISSP received CRLA recertification in 2005 and 2010.
Today, the ISSP reaches almost 2000 students each year through tutoring and workshops. During the 2013-2014 academic year, ISSP provided 12259 hours of tutoring to graduate and undergraduate students, an almost double increase from the previous decade. Currently, the ISSP continues to think of innovative ways to reach students. In 2011, the ISSP began offering online writing tutoring, allowing students to submit papers online and receive helpful comments from some of the most experienced writing tutors. In 2013, the program also began to pilot online tutoring in social and natural sciences courses.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Following a career-best performance at the All-New England Championship, freshman Roy Wedge was named the Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week by the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) on Monday. Wedge helped lead the Engineers, who are ranked No. 17 in the nation, to an 18th-place finish overall, fifth best among Division III teams at the meet.
Wedge came through with a 64th-place standing among over 300 runners from Divisions I, II and III on Tech's home course at Franklin Park. The freshman's time of 25:50 was an improvement of over one and a half minutes from his previous best on this course and was the top individual showing among NEWMAC harriers in the competition.
Wedge is the third MIT runner to collect conference accolades this year, joining Paul Welle and Katherine Eve as Runner of the Week selections.

Career Inspiration in Cannes
October 22, 2013
In May, two Lewis & Clark students earned the opportunity to "walk the red carpet" at the Cannes International Film Festival. Sofia Alicastro CAS '14 and Taylor Anne Finch B.A. '13 were two of only 25 students selected nationwide for business internships at the festival's American Pavilion.
"As an aspiring filmmaker, this internship exposed me to a variety of intriguing films and allowed me to immerse myself in the Cannes culture, which I absolutely love," Alicastro says. "I was able to network and engage with individuals interested in different facets of the film industry."
Both students assisted with business operations—Alicastro for Lakeshore Entertainment and Finch for The Asylum Productions. They also gained access to industry professionals, viewed films that were unavailable in the United States, and sat in on various panel discussions.
Although Lewis & Clark does not offer a major in film or business, Alicastro feels her liberal arts coursework—especially her classes in rhetoric and media studies—prepared her well for Cannes. "My experience in Cannes was a stepping-stone in my career," Alicastro says. "I was exposed to a variety of potential paths I can take to become a successful filmmaker."

NEW SOUTH WALES, Australia - In an incident that shocked thousands of onlookers at an Australian beach, a New Year fireworks display caught fire, sending fireworks to go off at random.
The apparent malfunction sparked the 10,000 fireworks stored at a barge to go off a few minutes into the show at the Terrigal Beach in New South Wales.
The show was accompanied by a women-only soundtrack as a tribute to the 100th anniversary of women being granted the vote in the country.
Despite increased security, including armed police and security barriers, there were fewer police officers present during the celebration.
Thousands of people on the beach had to be moved to safety and police sealed off the area.
Soon after, emergency services rushed to the scene and police said the crowds of about 5,000 to 6,000 people, were removed from the beach as a precaution.
Amid the shuddering eruption two pyrotechnicians, who jumped off the boat to get ashore, were later treated by paramedics for minor injuries.
Witnesses quoted in the local media said that the family-friendly fireworks show at 21:00 quickly turned to chaos and loud explosions were heard from the barge as fireworks started going off simultaneously.
Some onlookers took to Twitter to describe the horror, with one user saying, "It was an absolute chaos. The boat shooting the fireworks goes on fire and started shootings randomly. Lucky I escaped as soon as I saw the boat on fire."
It's Time for Terrigal, the event organisers took to Facebook and said that they believe a canister had exploded, setting off "multiple detonations."
They added that what should have been a 12-minute display was "pushed into 4 and a half."
The organizers added, "It became apparent this wasn't a directed event, as there [were] random fireworks going off, at this time it was deemed unsafe and we evacuated the area."
They said, overall, the event "went pretty well."
Work safety authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.

Umbilical cord blood contains stem cells, immature cells that can
grow into many other types of cells. Stem cells are now used to treat a limited
number of conditions, such as a sibling's
leukemia. They may someday be grown and used to treat
many chronic diseases. This could mean that your baby's cord blood may someday
provide a cure for a genetically related family member. The cord blood is drawn
from the umbilical cord and
placenta after the cord has been clamped and cut and,
for a fee, frozen and preserved. This process doesn't affect your or your
baby's care.
Early in your pregnancy, consider whether you want to bank your
baby's umbilical cord blood for possible future use. Sometime during your
pregnancy, you may get information about cord blood banking from at least one
commercial business that provides this service. You can also ask your health
professional whether he or she has any recommendations about cord blood
banking. Umbilical stem cells are collected only if you request the procedure
well in advance of your delivery date. It is not a routine procedure, and
health plans usually do not cover the cost.
If you are interested in donating your baby's cord blood for research
purposes, contact a stem cell registry early in your pregnancy so that you can
provide all the necessary medical information and sign a consent form.
Before your labour and delivery, tell your health professional that
you plan to have umbilical cord blood collected. Also make sure that the
medical staff attending your childbirth know in advance of the delivery.

Car Review
2013 Mazda6: New Car Review
Pros: Sleek styling; high-quality interior; great ride and handling; roomy passenger cabin
Cons: So-so fuel economy; no information and entertainment system or ability to control iPod through the car's audio controls; tepid performance from 4-cylinder models
What's New: The 2013 Mazda6 goes unchanged from last year. An all-new 6 is expected to debut for 2014.
The Mazda6 is the company's sleek but aging midsize sedan. Once a standout against the conservatively styled sedans from Honda and Toyota, the Mazda6 now finds itself competing against increasingly modern designs with equally modern interiors and amenities. Still, when it comes to overall ride, handling and driving enjoyment, it's hard to put the Mazda6 on anything less than a pedestal. Its available V6 engine and a sport-tuned suspension make this one of our favorite big sedans, at least when it comes to spending time behind the wheel.
The Mazda6 is a roomy sedan, well equipped and reasonably priced. The problem for Mazda is that newer cars such as the Kia Optima, Chevy Malibu and Ford Fusion offer new and better technology for about the same price. For example, while the Mazda6's available Bose audio system sounds great, we're pretty sure that technology fanatics won't be satisfied with the lack of an advanced entertainment and communication system, such as Ford's SYNC or Toyota's Entune.
And those seeking maximum fuel economy also might feel left behind as the Mazda6's fuel economy figures skew toward the lower end of the midsize field. That last bit is important, since cars such as the Kia Optima, Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry and Ford Fusion all offer better mileage, more horsepower and hybrid options as well.
Comfort & Utility
The Mazda6 may not be the newest midsize sedan available, but its interior still ranks as one of the cleanest, most attractive designs on any car under $30,000. The dash is simple and uncluttered, with elegant touches of wood grain on Grand Touring versions. The GT also has leather seating with a handsome insert design. There is plenty of room to stretch out in the Mazda6, but headroom up front can be limiting with the optional sunroof, and taller occupants may find rear-seat headroom snug. We love the comfort and support offered by the Mazda6's front seats but wonder why the passenger's seat is limited to just a 4-way setting with no lumbar support. A large and deep 17-cu ft trunk can accommodate most luggage needs, and the folding 60/40 rear seatback can be folded down for even more cargo-friendly space.
The 2013 Mazda6 comes very nicely equipped. The base Sport offers power windows, locks and mirrors, air conditioning, cruise control, remote entry and an AM/FM/CD stereo. The Touring trim adds 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, an 8-way power driver's seat, side blind spot alert (Touring Plus trim) and Bluetooth, while the top-of-the line Grand Touring gets leather seating, heated front seats, Bose audio and dual-zone automatic climate control.
While it's true the Mazda6 isn't up to date on the latest information and entertainment systems (there's not even a USB port for your iPod), it is still fairly well equipped when it comes to technological innovation. Touring Plus and Grand Touring trims come standard with a blind spot monitoring system, which warns of cars in the driver's blind spot prior to a lane change. The Advanced Technology package includes keyless entry and push-button start. The navigation option adds a backup camera and voice-activated navigation with a 7-in display screen and traffic updates. Other features available only on the Grand Touring include a 10-speaker Bose Centerpoint Surround Sound audio system with a 6-disc CD changer, rain-sensing wipers, HID headlamps and LED taillights.
Performance & Fuel Economy
Standard on the Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trims is a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that generates 170 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque. The Sport comes with a 6-speed manual, while all other 4-cylinder trims use a 5-speed automatic with manual shift mode. We think it's unfortunate that Mazda couldn't see fit to offer the manual on all the trims, since it really fits with the zoom-zoom image the company wants its cars to embody. Fuel economy with the manual or the automatic is identical, rated at 21-mpg city and 30-mpg highway.
The better choice for a sedan of this size and weight is the 3.7-liter V6 available in the Touring Plus and Grand Touring models. With 272 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque, the V6 moves the Mazda6 with ease, providing the kind of passing power and off-the-line acceleration you won't get with the base 4-cylinder engine. The V6 is teamed to a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control. However, with fuel economy ratings of just 18/27 mpg, you'll be stopping at the pump more often. By comparison, the Kia Optima SX offers a 274-hp turbocharged engine that gets an estimated 22/34 mpg.
The Mazda6 comes standard with front, front side impact and full-length side curtain airbags. Low-speed traction control helps prevent the front wheels from slipping on slick surfaces, while Dynamic Stability Control is designed to help the driver regain control should the tires break free from the pavement, as sometimes happens when rounding a turn too fast. Also standard is ABS with electronic brake-force distribution for a more even application of braking power.
Driving Impressions
Although it's classified as a family sedan, the Mazda6 doesn't ride or handle like a demure commuter car. The suspension engineers have struck a marvelous balance between delivering a smooth and comfortable ride on the highway while allowing for sports-car-like handling when the road gets twisty. Steering response is quick and direct, with just the right amount of power assist to aid the driver without giving a feeling of disconnection from the road.
As much as we love the short, precise shifts of Mazda's 6-speed manual transmission, it's only available on the 4-cylinder Mazda6 Sport. The 2.5-liter engine clearly helps keep the car's price low and delivers respectable fuel economy, but its performance is underwhelming and can become downright sluggish when the passenger compartment is fully loaded. For this reason, we prefer the V6, which delivers excellent results, whether starting off-the-line, merging into freeway traffic or just powering up a steep mountain road. The automatic transmission, a 5-speed on the 4-cylinder models and a 6-speed on V6s, does a good job of finding and holding the right gears, but true driving enthusiasts will want to use the manual shift control. Although it's not as precise as some newer double-clutch automatics, and not as quick to respond as a manual, the electronically controlled Mazda transmission is still fun to play with.
Other Cars to Consider
Toyota Camry - The Camry offers a more powerful base engine and better fuel economy, plus a hybrid model. It also offers a more advanced audio and communication system, Entune. But the Camry isn't as sleek-looking as the Mazda6, nor is its handling as precise.
Kia Optima - The Optima offers more powerful engine choices with much better fuel economy, a better warranty and more features, including USB connectivity and voice control for such devices as iPods. But the Optima's interior isn't quite as refined as the Mazda6, and its steering doesn't feel as precise.
Chevrolet Malibu - The Chevrolet Malibu offers better fuel economy than the Mazda6 and has a better powertrain warranty, but the Mazda6 has a lower base price and more interior room and an available V6 engine.
AutoTrader Recommends
If fuel economy trumps power, we say go for the i Sport model with the 6-speed manual. It's the most fun to drive even with the smaller tires and minimal options. If you can afford to spend a bit more, the i Grand Touring is our second choice. It's nicely equipped and can be outfitted with Mazda's best options while staying just under $30,000. If you must have the V6, we'd go with the Grand Touring, again because of the many standard features (leather seats, Bose audio) and the attractive options reserved for the GT's top-of-the-line status.

PCLinuxOS! Everything Works!
The really great thing about PCinuxOS is that everything works! All my multimedia (MP3s, Window Media files, AVIs , DVDs, OGGs, etc.) work right out of the box! If for some unknown reason, I can't get a specific media file to play, it's just a simple matter of downloading the correct codec or data file from the repository. (and the PCLinuxOS community is right there to give a helping hand!)
The above screen shot shows my PCLinuxOS laptop streaming audio from WABCRadio.com. I've sometimes found radio stations' audio streams to be a bit tricky in getting to work in Linux. But not with PCLinuxOS! I simply navigate to the radio's web site, click the link for the stream, and in a few moments, I'm listening to the station!
I have an internet radio that sits next to my drawing table and I also have an XM radio subscription for my car. XM also allows you to stream the channels from their website. In the past, other Linux distros I've used have failed or stumbled in interpreting the XM radio player or audio steam. But PCLinuxOS (via Firefox) brings the player up and streams all the XM channels with no problems!
So play DVD movies, listen to MP3s, online audio streams, and other entertainment with no hiccups or glitches. PCLinuxOS handles 'em all! It's so easy, you'll think you're running an Apple Mac (but with out the hefty price tag) or a Windows system ( but without the viruses and pop-ups!)
Get Linux!

Totally agree. PCLinuxOS is the only distro I have tried so far that has worked 100% in terms of multimedia.

If you handle graphics (and I know you do), you may love "kim". Install it from synaptic, and you'll have lots of useful options just by selecting the image files in konqueror and doing a right click --> Actions.
You may get similar right click options for audio files in konqueror by installing audiokonvert (just don't confuse it with soundkonverter)

Oh, audiokonvert can also extract audio from a video file.

Guys, thanks.:) I have AudioKonverter installed! Wow ! This app deserves a blog entry!
"audiokonverter is a small utility to easily convert from OGG, MP3,
AAC, M4A, FLAC, WMA, RealAudio, Musepack, Wavpack, WAV and movies to
MP3, OGG, M4A, WAV and FLAC in Konqueror by right-clicking on them."
Converted an ogg to an MP3 with just a click!
I'll give Kim a look for sure!
Many thanks!

I just installed Kim. Double Wow! Another little app that deserves its own blog entry! Gonna experiment with the Flash creation action.:)
Again, many,many thanks!

Linux Mint ( http://linuxmint.com ) based on ubuntu, does the same thing, packs all the codecs, addons with it. It even has java and moonlight with it.
i would recommend it to everyone!

If you like recording your own mp3s streamtuner and streamripper make a great pair. When recording from internet radio the ripper edits out commercials and makes single files for each song. Get both from the PCLinuxOS repos using Synaptic.

Membership Solidarity Fund
The Membership Solidarity Fund was established in January 2004 in order to enhance the representativeness of the Council membership in terms of geography, sectors and stakeholders making a real difference to the quality of the network.
The objective is to allow existing members and other institutions to act in solidarity with one or several organizations for which the amount of fees is too high compared to their resources, through the partial subsidization of their membership fees.
The Membership Solidarity Fund offers the opportunity for organizations with lesser means to have their say in the global water debate through Council membership. This initiative complements the membership fees policy.
For additional information, please feel free to consult the procedure of the Membership Solidarity Fund or contact us.
How to make a voluntary donation
Anyone can make a voluntary donation to the Membership Solidarity Fund - just send us an email and we will contact you.
Through this action, organisations with lesser means will be given an opportunity to become Council members and to make their voices heard in the global water debate. It will also contribute to broadening the range of actors represented in the Council.
Please be aware that you are free to determine the amount of your contribution. You may also indicate your preference to help a specific organization that you have already identified, or select criteria related to the geographic location or the type of organization you wish to subsidize. Should you not specify a preference, priority will be given to any eligible candidates from countries with the lowest per capita income.
How to apply
If your organisation has limited financial means and is from a country with a GDP per capita of under 7,500 USD, you may apply for the Membership Solidarity Fund by filling in the related application form.

Would you use a switch on your six-month-old baby? Would you hit your child on the arms, legs and back with a plumbing line? That's exactly what Evangelical preacher Michael Pearl urges parents to do when disciplining their children in his book To Train Up a Child, which is in circulation among many Christian homeschooling families.
Plus: Hot-Saucing Mom Convicted of Child Abuse
People aren't just reading the book, they're following through with Pearl's commandments—to extreme and deadly degrees, in some cases. In 2006, in North Carolina, a mother smothered to death her adopted 4-year-old son, Sean Paddock, while using a discipline technique of Pearl's. Last year, Lydia Schatz, a 7-year-old girl in California who had been adopted from Liberia at age 4, was murdered by her parents, who were also fans of To Train Up a Child.
Plus: What Do you Do When You See Someone Mistreating a Child?
Most recently, on September 29, Larry and Carri Williams of Washington State were charged with homicide by abuse when their 13-year-old daughter Hana was found naked and face down in their backyard, dead from hypothermia and malnutrition, reports the New York Times. The Williamses, homeschooling parents of six children and adherents to Pearl's book, had adopted Hana and a 7-year-old boy from Ethiopia in 2008. On the last day of Hana's life, her parents beat her with the plumbing tube that Pearl wrote about—he claims it's "too light to cause damage to the muscle or the bone." Pearl refers to his starvation tactic as "fasting" which is said is "good training." He also advocates hosing off a child if they have an accident after potty-training, and Hana was forced to shower outside with a hose and sleep in a freezing barn, or sometimes the closet.
Plus: Is It Okay to Spank?
Some in the conservative Christian camp are putting pressure on book vendors like Amazon to stop selling Pearl's book, but Pearl and his wife Debi deny any responsibility, insisting some parents take their advice too far and that parents shouldn't hit kids in anger or leave a bruise. Done correctly, they say, their methods produce happy, well-adjusted kids.
What's your stance on corporal punishment?

Gone Dark? Not Exactly... Shifting Channels
For those who haven't been following me in the world of Twitter in recently (@dankeldsen), while I have not been nearly as active here on BizTechTalk, I've busy with client work, and most recently having the wonderful experience of being with some of the smartest minds I've had the pleasure of interacting with at this week's Front End of Innovation (#feiboston or #fei09) just a 10 minute walk from my office.
I was talking (as you can see in the YouTube clip above) on the topic of Enterprise 2.0 and Innovation, and had a great audience, and incredible and ongoing conversations before, during and after the session.
Full slide deck below - audio coming shortly:
The Business of a New Business
And for those who may have forgotten, or indeed, not known, Carl Frappaolo and I have been busy gents in our new (as of December 2008) company, Information Architected.
While the economy could certainly be in far better shape than it is, we have been quite busy with some attention getting SharePoint research, case studies and presentations (free subscription to the information - dripped over 2-3 weeks) out the door starting in January, as well as taking all that we've learned over the 15-25 years we've been doing work in the process, innovation, content, knowledge and search worlds, to provide very targeted educational offerings tied tightly to the consulting capabilities we offer.
Fantastic Clients
For those clients who have seen fit to work with us in the 6 months out of the gate, I sincerely thank you for the work (and would name you, if not for the NDAs, although I understand the reasoning, no worries).
Good to have new clients as well to have circled back to past clients to help continue the work we had begun from the Delphi Group days.
And for those who are in need of no-nonsense analysis, consulting or education services - please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Coming Up
Unless I am on the road, I look forward to seeing people at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference again this year (also a mere 10 minute walk from the office - sometimes being Boston-based is a very good thing), and otherwise, see you online and offline wherever we might next meet.
Don't hesitate to get in touch, and if I can help you at all in YOUR business, let me know, I'd be happy to see if there is a good fit, and if not, the cast of thousands in my LinkedIn and Twitter networks are likely to hold suitable candidates.

As I explained in "Duration and CPU Values" SQL Server Profiler captures duration times in microseconds and milliseconds. How you work with Profiler is different in SQL Server 2005 and 2000. Profiler aficionados know that Profiler running under SQL Server 2000 never shows a duration value that's between 1ms and 9ms, but you might see a 0 or a 10 and higher (for an explanation of why, see "Granular Timing Statistics From Profiler," August 2005). In contrast, Profiler running under SQL Server 2005 does capture duration values between 1ms and 9ms. To test this concept, you can play around with the following SQL batch code:
DECLARE @LoopMe int,@StopAt int SET @LoopMe = 1 SET @StopAt = 425 WHILE @LoopMe < = @StopAt SET @LoopMe = @LoopMe+1
This code is designed to make it easy for you to vary how long it should take to run a SQL batch. Simply vary the @StopAt column and run several tests.When I played around with this batch code under SQL Server 2005, I was able to generate duration values that included 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 milliseconds. Interestingly, the CPU value in SQL Server 2005 is still limited to values of 0ms or 10ms and higher.
You might wonder if anyone really needs to see values at that level of granularity in Profiler data.The short answer is yes.For example, let's say ProcedureXYZ runs fast—it consistently takes 9ms. Sure, that's fast, but let's also assume that the procedure is going to scan a table that has a few hundred rows,so you add an index to improve the runtime to about 1ms. Adding an index might not matter in most cases, but what if you're running ProcedureXYZ 100 times per second? Well, 100 executions per second times 9ms per execution means you're using 900ms of duration time per second. That's 90 percent of your CPU on a single-processor box and 45 percent on a dual-processor machine. Adding the index gets processing time down to 1ms per execution and results in dramatically lower CPU utilization. I, for one, will put the extra duration granularity in Profiler to good use. I hope you do too!

Whether you're starting a new job or retiring, single or just married, deployed by the military or leaving the service, buying a home or having a baby, each transition in your unique circumstances merits a financial re-examination.
"The right amount of life insurance will change as your life changes," says June Walbert, a certified financial planner practitioner at USAA.
Starting out single. If you're single without kids, you may not need life insurance, but there are two reasons why you may want to buy some anyway:
Life insurance is something you have to qualify for -- based on your health, medical history and other factors. "Buying coverage when you're healthy reduces the risk of being rejected later when your needs are greater," Walbert says.
Since age is a big life insurance pricing factor, people in their 20s have the opportunity to lock in a premium that's much lower than it will be later in life -- especially when buying whole life insurance, which offers lifetime coverage and a premium that's guaranteed not to rise.
At this stage, the right amount of life insurance coverage often revolves around debt. Consider buying enough to pay off your mortgage, car loans, student loans, credit cards and whatever else you owe.
Without proper protection, the death of a parent can have disastrous consequences for children. And skipping life insurance on stay-at-home parents is risky because replacing their services can be expensive. "It's hard to think of anything that sparks the urgent need for life insurance as much as having a child," Walbert says.
Home purchases
New homeowners get plenty of offers to buy accidental death insurance that would pay off their mortgages, but it may be wiser to buy life insurance -- which covers deaths that aren't accidental, too.
Where alimony or child support is involved, it's important to insure the person who's responsible for making those payments. For greater confidence that the policy will stay in force, the spouse who is receiving support should be named the policy's owner.
Military separation
While you're serving, Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI) is a good value. However, it stops 120 days after you leave the military, unless you swap it for a more expensive government option. If you're in good health, look for a better deal on an individual policy.
Deploying doesn't increase your need for life insurance -- the financial consequences of dying are the same regardless of the cause. That said, deployment is an event that should prompt a fresh analysis of your coverage.
As you enter retirement, consider keeping life insurance for final expenses, gifts and bequests, and to manage inheritance and estate taxes.
"Life is ever-changing," Walbert says, "and when those changes are big, it's time to review your life insurance to make sure it keeps pace with your life."© 2012 ARAContent

Galactic is a dark navy creme and iridescent flake glitter in a sheer blue base. The creme side was nice, I used 1 coat for the photo below...it looks a little patchy but in person I couldn't see that. The glitter side was a bit of a disappointment here though, it was hard to get a good amount on the brush...you have to put the brush back in several times to get a decent amount of glitter onto the nail.
Orbit is a dark purple creme and iridescent flake glitter in a purple tinted base. The formula of the purple creme was really nice, I only needed 1 coat! The glitter was a lot like how it was in the pervious polish though. For some reason I also had major issues with this drying...aka, it never dried. Out of the 4 duos I picked up this was the only one that wouldn't dry on me, weird!
Apologies for the slightly glare-y photo of the purple creme below...it decided to get cloudy right when I was taking these photos :(
Universe is a brown creme and iridescent golden flakes of glitter. This was my favorite duo of the entire display and it's my favorite on the nail also. The brown creme was nice, I used 2 coats. The glitter side was like the others through :(
Overall I like these but I don't love them...I would have preferred real flakies but oh well. Out of these 4 my favorites are Galatic and Universe.
The Moon Candy Collection from Revlon is available now, I've seen it locally at both Rite Aid and Walgreens!

quote:Originally posted by Leafs81So Vancouver just signed two defenseman since the lockout is officially over (yesterday) They got Jim Vandermeer and Cam Barker.This is adding to a defensive core that already had Dan Hamhuis, Kevin Bieska, Jason Garrison, Keith Ballard, Alexander Edler, Andrew Alberts and Christopher Tanev.My question is what is going on in Vancouver? Are they just making sure they have enough experienced defenseman to last the season or are they just planning a trade that would involve one of those defenseman?

quote:Originally posted by Guest4377I think the Oilers scooped the Canucks...again. The Oilers picked up Mark Fistrick from the Stars for a 3rd round pick. That's a better move (and defenseman) than what Vancouver picked up. But with Fistrick, Vandermeer or Barker, we're talking about an insurance defenseman or a 5th, 6th or 7th defenseman. But Fistrick is better, at 26 years old, than Barker or Vandermeer.And how did the Oilers scoop the Canucks...again? Well, how about Justin Schultz, who despite the money being the same, picked Edmonton over Vancouver (and every other NHL team). Go figure, but Justin Schultz must have picked Edmonton for a reason, and guess what, it ain't the weather!Something special is going on in Oil-town, and players who want to be part of a young building team get it!

quote:Originally posted by nuxfanAlex, I'm not sure that VAN has decided they can't resign Edler yet - and I don't think they'll trade him unless they're sure they cannot resign him at a reasonable level, or if a deal that is Too Good To Pass Up comes along. I think your deal undervalues what would be going PHI's way.
quote:Originally posted by Alex116Well, in fairness nuxfan, for almost a year (since the Luongo trade talks started up), i've been saying that he won't fetch nearly as much as many think in return due to the contract so for me to come on here and claim they should trade Luongo and Edler for Giroux, both Schenn's, Couturier and two 1sts wouldn't be fair. Even with the new CBA, i think Gillis is swinging for the fence a bit with some of the rumours i hear (top 6 fwd, top prospect and a pick) and therefore maybe to some my proposal seems to favour Philly? As far as Edler goes, i was very high on him a couple years ago as were many in these parts. A lot of others who don't see him game in game out prob never saw that stretch a couple years ago where he looked like he was going to make that next step and be a true #1 all around dman. Well, in fairness, he regressed last year and now no one knows exactly what they're gonna get from him, therefore, in my mind, lowering his value. Personally i think if they got that deal with Voracek they'd be laughing, though myself, i'd take the one with Simmonds if i had to to get the deal done. Yes, they might be able to resign Edler, but just how good is this guy gonna be? Also, some might think that Couturier would be a waste on the 3rd line once Kesler returns? Maybe they go after B. Schenn instead?ETA....Schenn is listed as a C as well, but i believe he's been on the wing or plays both (meaning once Kesler's back, he could be a winger).
quote:Originally posted by slozoWhat might be forgotten to non-Vancouver fans is that they signed Garrison over the offseason . . . you know, that guy who was leading all defencemen in points for a while in Florida last year?I know I forgot it until reading my daily dose of hockey news. He will certainly add some offense to their first, or possibly even second power play unit."Take off, eh?" - Bob and Doug
quote:Originally posted by nuxfanNot sure how the PP units will stack up, but I expect Garrison to be quarterbacking on unit#2 (Edler plays first PP), or they can put Garrison and Edler together to stack the blueline if need be. At 6'2/220, he's also able to play the physical game and will do so.
quote:Originally posted by nuxfanThe only way I see that happening is if VAN doesn't think they can resign him to a long-term deal. If he goes UFA this summer, I don't think its unreasonable to think he could fetch 5-6M a season, and I suspect it will cost VAN about 5M on a full 8 year deal to keep him.
quote:Originally posted by nuxfanLong term deal signed, 6yr/30M. I was wrong on the term, but right on the amount per year.That means VAN's top-4 will be together for the next 4 years at least, with a total cap hit of 19.3M. Colour me happy.

Islamic protests against people and products deemed offensive to the faith have been widely documented. The pursuit of jihad against such targets is a common occurrence in many countries with a significant Muslim population.
More than 60 percent of those living in Malaysia are Muslim, for instance; and most companies in the nation are receptive to the religious demands of the citizens. Guidelines regarding food preparation are highly regulated to ensure products entering the market are properly labeled 'halal,' meaning they were produced with consideration to Islamic codes.
The absence of any pork product is a chief concern when determining which foods are fit for consumption by Muslims. For that reason, Malaysian religious groups were outraged when chocolate products from the nation's Cadbury operation were found to contain DNA from the prohibited animal.
"They have betrayed us Muslims by putting haram [sinful] elements in the foods we consume," said the leader of one advocacy group.
Activists gathered in Kuala Lumpur to air their grievances against the company. Among the prescribed actions against Cadbury were boycotts and the closure of its factories across the nation.
One protester, Ustaz Masridzi Sat, had particularly strong words for the perceived religious slight.
"Because the person eats pork, it is difficult to guide him to the right path," he explained. "When the day of judgment comes, that person will be wearing a pig-face because of what he has eaten."
As a result of Cadbury's actions, he said the call for action must be coordinated and direct.
"We need to unite," he concluded. "We must declare jihad."
The nation's government has announced inspections of Cadbury's products going forward, and the company itself explained it will review its own operations in an effort to regain the trust of offended Muslims.

Updates to 2014 NEC
NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code, will next be updated in 2014. Here's a look at what to expect.
In 2011, 3745 proposals were submitted to NFPA to be considered for incorporation into the upcoming 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC). Technical committees reviewed these proposals, commented on them, and gave a recommended action (e.g., accept or reject) in a document called the report on proposals (ROP). The ROP was published and open for comments, which will be considered and addressed in the report on comments (ROC) to be presented for action at the NFPA Technical Meeting in 2013. The 2014 edition of the National Electrical Code will be available in the fall of 2013.
Some of the new NEC articles and changes are indicative of the code progressing to address new and evolving technologies. Proposals currently listed as accepted include four new articles, which are representative of technology advances that are either not currently covered in the NEC or require a more detailed set of requirements. The articles and changes serve the NEC's mission to provide practical safeguards from the hazards that arise from using electricity.
In addition to changes addressing new technologies, there are also proposed changes to existing articles that will impact the status quo for electrical design. Electrical engineers and designers should take note, for example, of the additional locations requiring GFCI and AFCI protection (Article 210), the additional requirements for installations involving generators (Article 445), and the increased minimum number of receptacles required for patient bed locations and operating rooms (Article 517).
New articles
393 Low-voltage Suspended Ceiling Power Distribution Systems A proposed new article would cover installations of low-voltage suspended ceiling power distribution systems. These systems have similar characteristics to track lighting, where the ceiling grid is used as an electrical system for distributing power to lighting fixtures and other powered devices. The substantiation for adding this article states that alternative and renewable energy sources (e.g., photovoltaics, wind turbines, batteries, fuel cells, etc.) are increasingly being installed and, "this coupled with the reality that many of the loads installed ultimately use electricity in its dc form has renewed an interest in dc power and its distribution in buildings." Proponents of these types of systems state that they enable lighting (and other device) reconfigurations without rewiring and require no ac/dc conversion (when directly connected to alternative energy sources).
Consider that most commercial buildings as well as many residential buildings today have suspended ceilings. The prevalent metal grid work can not only be used as support for acoustical ceiling tile and lighting fixtures, but also as a power distribution system. Details of the article include installation requirements, and uses permitted are limited to indoor dry locations for residential, commercial, and industrial installations. The system must be listed or an assembly of listed parts. The article limits systems to a maximum of 30 Vac or 60 Vdc Class 2 power.
646 Modular Data Centers This new article would define and list applicable requirements for a developing trend in data center architecture called modular data centers (MDCs). The unique customization and scalability of MDCs can vary their sizes from a large enclosure to a prefabricated building, while the equipment is typically not permanently installed. Details of the article include requirements for nameplate data, supply conductors and overcurrent protection, short-circuit current rating, field wiring compartments, and flexible power cable. Also listed are provisions for equipment, lighting, and work space requirements.
728 Fire Resistive Cable Systems A new article would list all requirements in one place for fire-resistive cable, conductor, and other system components used for survivability of critical circuits in fire conditions. Some of the installation requirements listed include mounting, supports, splices, raceways, and pulling lubricants.
750 Energy Management Systems A task group was appointed to focus on interconnection and energy management systems. The task group drafted this proposed article to address safety requirements for implementing infrastructure to allow the Smart Grid to actively manage energy management systems as a means to reduce energy costs or reduce peak power needs.
New or revised sections and subdivisions
100 Retrofit Kit A definition for "retrofit kit" is proposed to be added to Article 100. Retrofit kit would be defined as, "a general term for a complete listed subassembly of parts and devices for field conversion of utilization equipment." New requirements for luminaire retrofit kits are also proposed to Section 410.6 (see below).
110.17 Working Space Marking This proposed new section in Article 110 (Requirements for Electrical Installations) would require that equipment working space be identified on or adjacent to the equipment. The marking shall include the words, "CAUTION! AREA IN FRONT OF ELECTRICAL PANELS EQUIPMENT SHALL BE KEPT CLEAR FOR DEPTH: WIDTH: HEIGHT" with the required dimensions listed.
110.21(B) Field-Applied Markings This proposed new subdivision lists specific requirements for the content, color, durability, and suitability for field-applied markings and labels.
110.25 Lockable Disconnecting Means This new section would consolidate requirements for lockable disconnecting means into one section. The new text requires that where a disconnecting means is required to be lockable open, it shall be capable of being locked in the open position. It also ensures that the means for placing the lock remain in place.
110.26 Ground-Fault and Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter Receptacles A new section would require that all ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) and outlet branch circuit type arc-fault circuit-interrupter (AFCI) receptacles be installed in a readily accessible location. The intent is to help facilitate the required periodic testing of these devices.
110.27(C)(2) and (3) Entrance to and Egress from Working Space, Personnel Doors These subdivisions currently list the requirements for two personnel doors where equipment rated 1200 A or more is installed containing overcurrent devices, switching devices, or control devices. The proposed amendment would reduce the requirement threshold to equipment rated 800 A or more. Another change would require that the egress doors have listed panic hardware (rather than allowing the use of other devices that are normally latched but open under simple pressure).
210.8(A)(9) GFCI Protection for Personnel, Dwelling Units This subdivision would add laundry areas to the current list of locations in dwelling units which currently require that all 125 V, single-phase, 15 A and 20 A receptacles have GFCI protection. The current list of locations includes bathrooms, garages, outdoors, crawl spaces, unfinished basements, kitchens, sinks, and boathouses.
210.12(A) Arc-Fault Circuit-Interrupter Protection, Dwelling Units Kitchens would be added to the list of rooms and areas in dwelling units that require AFCI protection for all 120 V, single-phase, 15 A and 20 A branch circuits supplying outlets. AFCIs were first introduced in the NEC in 1999 and were required in bedrooms. Their primary purpose is to protect the building from a fire. Newer releases of the NEC have added additional requirements and spaces where AFCIs are required. This proposed change is the next incremental step toward AFCI protection of all 120 V, 15 A and 20 A branch circuits in dwelling units.
Another revision would recognize use of a listed outlet branch circuit type AFCI installed at the first outlet on the branch circuit. In order to use AFCI outlet devices, the following four specific conditions must be met:
(a) The branch circuit overcurrent protection device shall be a listed circuit breaker having an instantaneous trip not exceeding 300 A.
(b) The branch circuit wiring shall be continuous from the branch circuit overcurrent device to the outlet branch circuit arc-fault circuit interrupter.
(c) The maximum length of the branch circuit wiring from the branch circuit overcurrent device to the first outlet shall not exceed 50 ft for a 14 AWG or 70 ft for a 12 AWG conductor.
(d) The first outlet box in the branch circuit shall be identified.
210.17 Electric Vehicle Branch Circuit The proposed new section to Article 210 (Branch Circuits) would require that outlet(s) intended for the purpose of charging electric vehicles be supplied by a separate, dedicated branch circuit.
210.64 Electrical Service Areas A new section would require that at least one 15 A or 20 A receptacle outlet be installed within 50 ft of the electrical service equipment (except for in one- and two-family dwellings). The new receptacle requirement is intended to facilitate use of portable electrical equipment for testing and servicing purposes.
240.11 Oversized Ungrounded Conductors The proposed new section to Article 240 (Overcurrent Protection) would require marking or tagging of ungrounded conductors that are increased in size for voltage drop or derating purposes. The mark or tag shall be located at the point where the conductors receive their supply. An exception would be provided for conditions where maintenance and engineering supervision ensure that only qualified personnel document, monitor, and service the equipment.
250.122(F) Conductors in Parallel This section would be amended to clarify that where conductors are run in parallel, the equipment grounding conductors shall not be required to be larger than the largest ungrounded conductor.
250.194 Grounding and Bonding of Fences and Other Metal Structures This proposed new section would provide new rules for bonding and grounding metal fences and metal structures, including guy wires. The requirements are intended to limit step, touch, and transfer voltages.
310.15(B)(7) 120/240 V, Single-Phase Dwelling Services and Feeders The proposed change would replace the existing Table 310.15(B)(7) with text stating that 83% of the 230.79 service ampere rating shall be permitted to be used as the minimum ampacity to determine the size of the ungrounded conductors. Although the reduction in minimum ampacity is the same as permitted in the existing table, the intent is to present the requirements in a user-friendly format. An example would be referenced in Annex D to provide more information on how to apply the new language.
330.30(D) Unsupported Cables The new subdivision would allow metal-clad cable (type MC) to be unsupported in lengths up to 3 ft for equipment flexibility reasons or to minimize transmission of vibration.

News: February 2008
Nootbaar Institute Hosts 'Higher Law' Conference
Pepperdine's Herbert and Elinor Nootbaar Institute on Law, Religion, and Ethics will host a conference titled, "Is there a Higher Law? Does it Matter?" on Feb. 21 and 22 at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. The conference will bring together law professors, judges, theologians, economists, historians, and philosophers to discuss the implications of the higher law question.
As a launching pad for the conference, Bob Cochran, the Louis D. Brandeis Professor of Law and founder and director of the Nootbaar Institute, points to times in history when the question of a higher law took the spotlight.
"During the decade before the American Civil War, the question of whether there is a higher law was one of the most controversial facing the United States," says Cochran. "Opponents of slavery challenged the pro-slavery positive law on the basis of a higher law, while others argued that the higher law supported slavery."
Cochran also points to the beginning of the 20th century, when Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes ridiculed the notion of a higher law as "that brooding omnipresence in the sky." At the same time, other 20th century movements were grounded on the notion of a higher law, notably the Nuremberg trails and the American Civil Rights movement.
Conference speakers include Albert W. Alschuler, Rabbi Yitzchok Alderstein, Patrick McKinley Brennan, William S. Brewbaker II, Bob Cochran., Kenneth G. Elzinga, Peter Gabel, Doug Kmiec, Bradley Lewis, Allen Martin Linden, Elizabeth B. Mensch, David Novak, Marry Ellen O'Connell, Joan Lockwood O'Donovan, Oliver O'Donovan, Connie S. Rosati, Steven D. Smith, Mark V. Tushnet, and Dallas Willard. For more information on the speakers, click here.
The conference agenda includes sessions on the higher law and its critics, theology and the higher law, philosophy and the higher law, and practical applications of the higher law.
The conference fee is $25 for students and $100 for non-students. The fee includes breakfast, snacks, and lunch. Vegetarian and Kosher meals are available.

Enermax Fulmo GT Review
Enermax has a variety of products on the market including PSUs, fans, coolers, peripherals (such as keyboards), and even a few cases. As part of the Enermax "Big Tower" series, which seems to be the terminology used to classify its full tower chassis, the Fulmo GT is definitely a beast of a case. Much like the Xigmatek Elysium I reviewed about a month or so ago, it is very large. The Fulmo GT has room for fitting pretty much everything you can imagine; with 10 PCIe slots in the back, there is even room to run four cards up to 410 mm each! If you are fighting for space in this case, I'm pretty sure you are doing something wrong.
Without further ado, let's take a good up-and-close look at the Enermax Fulmo GT to see how much room it really has. We'll look over every nook and cranny, and compliment/critique every last inch of the beast. With its high price tag, the Fulmo GT really has to show off more than its size.
Closer Look:
I always cringe a little when I can see packages sitting inside my screen porch when I drive home in the afternoon. If I can see it from the car, I've either got a huge stack of packages or yet another massive case. Big cases are exciting, but for a person my size, they are a bit awkward to get into the house. At the very least, Enermax thought about this when they made the box – it has handles! I'm still confused why we don't see handles with every case box – with the several that have come through over the last year, probably only about half were as easy to grab.
A lot has been put into the graphics of the box. As you all know, I really like plain cardboard with black text, though few companies are so simple with the box. Here, Enermax shows a lightning storm striking the case on the front of the box. Fulmo GT is printed in the lower right corner, with a lightning strike as part of the logo.
The back of the box shows the innards of the case with a HPTX board mounted, giving you an idea of exactly how big this case truly is. Eight sub-images show off eight of the "big" features within the box, making it just that much more tempting to open up. The sides of the box summarize the features/specifications in a table on one side and the case model on the other; not too overly flashy while definitely letting you know what you are getting into.
Opening up the box, it is obvious the box is packed pretty well. My favorite compacted foam ends are in use, which means I won't have to pick up all the broken foam bits that I associate with most case packaging. I was able to easily tip the box on one end and pull it off, so no problems getting the case out of the box. As bad as the box was actually beat up with a big hole on the back, there isn't an ounce of damage on the case itself. A plastic bag protects the finish on the case from any contaminants or loose items in the box. The packing has done its job well; let's take a look at the actual case now.

"Yes, we were victims of the dictatorship, but it was not only we—the victimized— but they, too, the ones who constructed the victims. The triumphant battalion was born in fear and through fear. And by implanting terror it terrorized itself as well. Triumph and defeat were decided in the torture chamber in a war that almost never was a war; in this way, stripped of belligerence and swollen with horror and violence, this war both sealed our destruction and undid all values and principles of civility." – Flávio Tavares. [1].
"Politics, at its core, involves arguments over the meaning of events, and such acts of interpretation tell agents ''who they are'' and ''what they want.''" -Wesley W. Widmaier, Mark Blyth, and Leonard Seabrooke. [2].
"The government has now lost four times in a litigation that has gone on almost nine months. It lost the preliminary injunction in May. It lost a motion for reconsideration shortly thereafter. It lost the permanent injunction. It lost its request last week for a stay. We won't stop fighting this, but it is deeply disturbing that the Obama administration, rather than protecting our civil liberties and democracy, insists on further eroding them by expanding the power of the military to seize U.S. citizens and control our streets." – Chris Hedges. [3].
"My frustration with self-professed liberals is that they're entranced with the rhetoric of Obama and utterly ignore the facts, utterly ignore what he has done. And as you mentioned earlier, I think what we are seeing is in essence a rewriting of the legal code to criminalize any form of legitimate dissent. And that's because the corporate state, corporate power, understands very well what's coming both in terms of the environmental crisis and the economic crisis. And they want the legal mechanisms to shut it down." – Chris Hedges. [4].
There is no longer any excuse to be ignorant of the fact that 9/11 was an inside job. As a result of this fact, the West lives in a state of tyranny.
But if the shocking truth about the 9/11 events didn't wake people up from their sleep, the Orwell-inspired language in the NDAA certainly did.
The indefinite detention provisions in the 2012 NDAA bill that was signed into law by President Obama on December 31st, 2011, served as a wake up call to many people that the totalitarian future that was warned about for decades by writers and filmmakers is now an inescapable reality staring us in the face.
A government that is willing to sacrifice its own people to pursue criminal objectives under the banner of national security and counter-terrorism is a government that has broken all its ties with the people it claims to represent.
9/11 represented the end of the line for the foreign financial fascists who hijacked America in 1913 and illegally installed a private central bank above the sovereign American government. It must be remembered that before the series of illegal US-led regime changes in the Middle East, America was the first victim of corporate-financed regime change.
So it is only natural that to put an end to the wars in the Middle East the world must call for the end of the current bankster-controlled U.S. regime and the restoration of America's constitutional republic.
The world must demand change in America because the Federal Reserve is destabilizing the world financial system and the CIA is destabilizing the Middle East and the world. Both of these international actors are breaking America's own laws and international laws. The Federal Reserve is an illegitimate institution that was founded by financial oligarchs, and the CIA is an instrument of totalitarianism that produces fairy tales for the world like the official 9/11 story.
Any analysis of the evolution of tyranny in America must include both the secret creation of the illegal Federal Reserve and the role of the CIA in 9/11.
Paul Craig Roberts, the former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration, wrote the following on the 11th anniversary of the September 11 events:
"If 9/11 was actually the result of the failure of the national security state to deter an attack, the government's refusal to conduct a real investigation is an even greater failure. It has fallen to concerned and qualified individuals to perform the investigative role abandoned by government. The presentations at the Toronto Hearings, along with the evaluations of the Panel, are now available, as is the documentary film, "Explosive Evidence–Experts Speak Out," provided by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
The government's agents and apologists try to deflect attention from disturbing facts by redefining factual evidence revealed by experts as the product of "a conspiracy culture." If people despite their brainwashing and lack of scientific education are able to absorb the information made available to them, perhaps both the US Constitution and peace could be restored. Only informed people can restrain Washington and avert the crazed hegemonic US government from destroying the world in war." [5].
Global civil society is the only peaceful force that can put pressure on the shadow United States government to cease and desist from committing acts of state terrorism against its own people as well as against people in other countries.
Mobilizing global civil society to take action against U.S. state terrorism is a big task and must involve leaders from around the world. Desmond Tutu's call for Bush and Blair to stand trial for war crimes is a brave step in the right direction. But the goal should be to put an entire system on trial, not a couple of goofy puppets.
Ferdinando Imposimato, the honorary President of the Supreme Court of Italy, made headlines earlier this month when he called the 9/11 events an example of the "strategy of tension" and "announced that he is going to recommend that the International Criminal Court hold a criminal trial into 9/11." [6]. In the September 2012 issue of the Journal of 9/11 Studies, Judge Imposimato wrote:
"The 9/11 attacks were a global state terror operation permitted by the administration of the USA, which had foreknowledge of the operation yet remained intentionally unresponsive in order to make war against Afghanistan and Iraq. To put it briefly, the 9/11 events were an instance of the strategy of tension enacted by political and economic powers in the USA to seek advantages for the oil and arms industries.
Italy too was a victim of the "strategia della tensione" of the CIA, enacted in Italy from the time of the Portella della Ginestra massacre in Sicily in 1947 until 1993.
There is much evidence of this strategy, both circumstantial and scientific." [7].
The 9/11 cover-up has had grave implications for the mental and spiritual health of the United States and the collective security of the world. America is on the edge of collapse while the world is stuck in chaos due to the criminal policies pursued by the bankster regime in Washington.
The U.S. government and state-run media are pushing the NDAA and QE3 which are short-term policy fixes to democratic dissent and the dead American economy.
As President Obama is quietly opening the doors to an overt military dictatorship under the moral cover provided by the hoodwinked left, his financial backers want to start a war with Iran to mask their responsibility for America's economic problems.
Iran will be blamed for the Federal Reserve's destruction of the world economy and its retaliation in the Strait of Hormuz against U.S.-Israeli aggression will be spun as an attack on world trade.
Any war with Iran will end badly for all sides involved. "It is evident that without the use of nuclear weapons by Israel or the U.S.," wrote Gary D. Barnett on November 22, 2011, "Iran would be difficult if not impossible to defeat. This truth is not escapable." [8].
Gwynne Dyer said the same thing in August 2010 in his article, "No Way Can US Win A Non-Nuclear War With Iran," writing:
"It's not the fear of Iranian nuclear weapons that makes the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff so reluctant to get involved in a war with Iran. Those weapons don't exist, and the whole justification for the war would be to make sure that they never do.
The problem is that there's nothing the U.S. can do to Iran, short of nuking the place, that would really force Tehran to kneel and beg for mercy. It can bomb Iran's nuclear sites and military installations to its heart's content, but everything it destroys can be rebuilt in a few years. And there is no way that the United States could actually invade Iran." [9].
When taken together, the false flag 9/11 events, NDAA, QE3, and an aggressive war against Iran represent the deliberate destruction of America's old system of government and form of society.
The banksters who control Washington are implementing a policy of full-spectrum state terror on a global level.
America is the target just as much as Iran is.

My wife's friend has a shop selling watches, locks, etc. She thinks he also mends watches. It's on Chomsin Road, about half way between the traffic light and the railway crossing. On the north side of the road.
The shop is called something like Naa ti tong.

When Bluport opens, if it's anything like the other Malls, Siam Paragon, Emporium etc. it will have a 'watch galleria' which includes a stand with a watch repairer. They'll also sell straps and watch boxes and winders.

Guerilla Art Show
This weekend only at the Trillion Art Space
Several artists from all over New Mexico are showing graffiti-inspired street art work at the Trillion Art Space, 510 2nd NW.
Artists are making screen prints. There is a printing shop set up in back with locally made t-shirts for sale. Paintings made with the tools of traditional graffiti (latex paint sticks, spray paint, etc.) are hanging on the walls. The show features paintings of Ronald Reagan, creepy little mythical creatures, abstracts and even some painted LPs. There is a definite hip hop influence to much of it. Artists were making a large variety of silk screen prints, everything from Yoda to pueblo-inspired pieces, on site Friday.
Trillion has a factory sort of vibe, and it's always fun to watch art getting made. You can stand right next to the press and watch the silk screening process. It's festive.
The show is being taken down on Monday but is open Saturday and Sunday from noon to about 10 p.m. The event seemed spontaneous and possessed a marked transient quality like much of the street art I've seen lately. It pops up it one place and then disappears. See it before it's gone.
