Although November is still a few months away, the presidential election is nearing the penultimate climax. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have won the nominations for the Republicans and Democrats respectively. Billionaire Donald Trump won the Republican nomination with the party's establishment fully against him. The gOP would've much preferred Marco Rubio, John Kasich or the brother prodigy Jeb! Unfortunately for them, Trump demolished the rest of the field and it was the other non establishment candidate, Ted cruz, who came second.
Republican supporters voted for Trump in the primaries for a handful of reasons. Firstly, Trump isn't a politician. Although that sounds like a disadvantage in a presidential race, to the ordinary voter it is very appealing. Whether you define Trump as 'the establishment' or not, it's quite clear that the Republican establishment did not want him to win. He must not, therefore, have the interests of the GOP establishment in mind. Secondly, Trump's firm talking on immigration appealed enormously to the right leaning American citizens. Since 9/11, Americans have feared the threat of terrorism and have wanted stricter immigration controls to stop potential terrorist threats. Trump's wall may have sounded silly and even xenophobic, but to the Republican voter it's an immigration policy that doesn't play up to the neoliberal press. Finally, Trump's non-pc or even politically incorrect ways win him support with the general public. It shows that he's not afraid to say what he thinks. It shows that he's not pandering to people or acting like an establishment politician. People like their politicians to be real human beings instead of PR machines.
The story with the Democrats is slightly different. Hillary Clinton was the establishment candidate. The party was thoroughly behind her. (More so than we suspected) The party only ever had her in mind to become president and this was decided long before Obama began his second term. Hillary's rival to the Democratic nomination was Senator Bernie Sanders. As a self-professed socialist, it was always going to be difficult to win over American voters. Especially with the party's establishment and the entire American press against him. Clinton won the nomination far less easily than she would have hoped but in the end she triumphed in the deciding states of New York and California.
The primaries are in existence for the two main parties to choose a candidate who has the best chance or winning the general election. However, It's estimated that only 9% of Americans voted for Trump and Clinton in the primaries. There is a healthy number of voters who have publicly stated that they will not vote for Trump or Clinton. Many Bernie supporters will not vote Democrat because of her lies, her status as the establishment candidate, her willingness to accept money from big business and banks, her neoliberal views and politics, and/or the email scandal. Many Republicans will not vote Trump because they believe he's xenophobic, homophobic, sexist, and even fascistic. They would like to see an established conservative Republican and not a bigoted billionaire businessmen who has no experience as a politician.
Therefore, there are people who will be voting for a third party candidate. Yes, they do exist in America… Gary Johnson for the Libertarian Party has attracted the disenfranchised Republican vote and Jill Stein (presumptive) has attracted the disenfranchised Democrat vote. A third party candidate will never win the American presidential election. Let's be clear about that. As UKIP or the Greens would never win in the UK. However, politics isn't about winning. Voting should always be about voting for someone who best represents you and your views. For the majority of Bernie Sanders supporters, the candidate who best represents their views is Jill Stein and not Hillary Clinton. Amazingly, Clinton represents the views of the centrist/right-of-centre Republicans who would have happily voted for Bush III!
Let's also be clear about another thing; voting for a third party candidate shouldn't be about making one side lose. Take Ralph Nader in 2000. People voted for him because they didn't want to vote for Gore or Bush II. People who vote third party should not be blamed for the loss of one of the two big parties. Voting is a personal thing that one does to decide who one wants as their leader. It is not something we do to decide who we don't want to be our leader.
Expect turnout to be incredibly low in November. There are millions who don't vote, millions who don't want to vote for Trump or Clinton, and millions who think voting for a third party is a wasted vote. America has chosen the worst two candidates in the history of the union and 2016 is the best time ever to vote for a third party. It doesn't have to be Trump or Clinton. Don't be dragged into deciding which one you'd rather see as president. Yes, one of them will win but that doesn't mean you have to decide which one you'd rather not see. Voting third party is the best weapon against the undemocratic first past the post system. It shows real discontent for it and emphasises the extreme disenfranchisement that has occurred in the last 30 years.

Fedor Holz was already having an outstanding year in 2016 since he won the WPT Philippines High Roller ($3.46m) and finished second in the Aria Super High Roller Bowl ($3.5m). But Holz made 2016 even more magical by winning the WSOP $111,111 High Roller for One Drop along with $4,981,775.
The 22-year-old navigated through a 183-player field to win his first gold bracelet. In a career filled with big scores, the near-$5 million prize ranks as the biggest of them all for Holz.
"I'm really happy right now," said Holz. "I was very focused coming into this. I told my friends even, that this was going to be a very important week. I had such a great feeling about this tournament and felt really intense about it, which is why it means so much to me to win it."
Holz was the brightest star of a mixed player pool that included famed pros, businessmen, and even celebrities. Once again, former Cirque du Soleil owner Guy Laliberte led the festivities and helped raise money for the One Drop foundation. Laliberte and One Drop have been providing clean drinking water to third-world countries over five years.
While charity is the reason for the $111k buy-in One Drop High Roller, the massive payouts bring out the competitive side of players. 28 players in all cashed, including 2015 Main Event champ Joe McKeehen, who took sixth along with $829,792. Dan Smith, another highly successful pro, finished second place and netted $3,078,974.
But none of these players could stop the combination of good cards and amazing poker skills that Holz brought to the final table.
"I just ran like a god for four hands in a row," he said.
Holz faced off against Smith for an hour, before he improved a suited 8-7 combo to a flush and finished off his final opponent.
The German was asked by the WSOP staff how he has such incredible poker skills for a 22-year-old, to which he gave a modest answer.
"I will just try to appreciate it and enjoy this while it lasts," he said. "I really have to credit a lot of the high-stakes players I play with in the High Rollers. From playing with them, they teach you. If you do not play well, they eat you alive."
2016 WSOP $111,111 High Roller for One Drop Final Table
1st. Fedor Holz – $4,981,775
2nd. Dan Smith – $3,078,974
3rd. Koray Aldemir – $2,154,265
4th. Jack Salter – $1,536,666

Following the firing of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, President Donald Trump commented on his decision and took questions from the media.
Trump maintained that he and Tillerson "disagreed on things," while adding that he shares more views with Mike Pompeo, whom he tapped to replace Tillerson. Most notably, Trump pointed to the Iran deal as a source of dispute between he and Tillerson. Trump also claimed he and Tillerson discussed the matter "for a very long time."
Trump emphasized that he's gotten along well with Pompeo and said they have "very good chemistry" in addition to agreeing on a number of subjects.
Trump also spoke about Gina Haspel, who will take over as Director of the CIA after Pompeo as the first female CIA Director and someone he's "gotten to know very well."
Read Trump's comments here:
TRUMP: I've worked with Mike Pompeo now for quite some time. Tremendous energy, tremendous intellect. We're always on the same wavelength. The relationship has always been very good and that's what I need as secretary of state.
I wish Rex Tillerson well.
Gina, by the way, who I know very well, who I've worked very closely (sic), will be the first woman director of the CIA. She's an outstanding person who also I have gotten to know very well.
So I've gotten to know a lot of people very well over the last year. And I'm really at a point where we're getting very close to having the Cabinet and other things that I want.
But I think Mike Pompeo will be a truly great secretary of state. I have total confidence in him.
And as far as Rex Tillerson is concerned, I very much appreciate his commitment and his service, and I wish him well. He's a good man.
QUESTION: Mr. President, what did you tell Rex Tillerson?
QUESTION: Mr. President, what did you say to Rex Tillerson?
TRUMP: Rex and I have been talking about this for a long time. We — we got along actually quite well, but we disagreed on things.
When you look at the Iran deal, I think it's terrible. I guess he thought (ph) it was OK. I wanted to either break it or do something, and he felt a little bit differently.
So we were not really thinking the same.
With Mike, Mike Pompeo, we have a very similar thought process. I think it's going to go very well.
Rex is a very good man. I like Rex a lot. I really appreciate his commitment and his service. And I'll be speaking to Rex over a long period of time.
TRUMP: I can't hear you.
TRUMP: No, I really didn't discuss it very much with him, honestly. I made that decision by myself. Rex wasn't, as you know, in our — in this country. I made the North Korea decision with consultation from many people, but I made that decision by myself.
QUESTION: Did you and Rex Tillerson (inaudible)?
TRUMP: I actually got along well with Rex. But really it was a different mindset. It was a different thinking.
QUESTION: Did you fire him because he called you a moron?
TRUMP: What?
QUESTION: Did you fire him because he called you a moron?
TRUMP: Say it again.
TRUMP: I respect his intellect. I respect the process that we've all gone through together. We have a very good relationship. For whatever reason, chemistry, whatever it is. Why do people get along? I've always — right from the beginning, from day one, I've gotten along well with Mike Pompeo.
And frankly, I get along well with Rex too. As — you know, I wish Rex a lot of good things. I think he's going to do — I think he's going to be very happy.
I think Rex will be much happier now. But I really appreciate his service.
But with Mike, we've had a very good chemistry right from the beginning.
TRUMP: Well, it sounds to me — I'm speaking to Theresa May today. It sounds to me like it would be Russia, based on all of the evidence they have. I don't know if they've come to a conclusion, but she's calling me today.
As you know, now we're going to the wall. We're going out to the wall, we're going to be looking at the prototypes, which is very important for our country.
But Theresa May is going to be speaking to me today. It sounds to me like they believe it was Russia, and I would certainly take that finding as fact.
QUESTION: Mr. President, people think there should be a response from the United States. Do you believe there should be a response from the United States?
TRUMP: Yeah, as soon as we get the facts straight. And we're going to be speaking with the British today. We're speaking with Theresa May today. And as soon as we get the facts straight, if we agree with them, we will condemn Russia or whoever it may be.
But I have not spoken to her. I'll speak to her sometime today.
TRUMP: We're very happy with the decision by the House Intelligence Committee saying there was absolutely no collusion with respect to Russia. And it was a very powerful decision, a very strong decision, backed up — I understand they're going to be releasing hundreds of pages of proof and evidence.
But we are very, very happy with that decision. It was a powerful decision that left no doubt.
So I want to thank the House Intelligence Committee and all of the people that (inaudible).
TRUMP: I'm looking at Larry Kudlow very strongly. I've known him a long time. We don't agree on everything, but in this case I think that's good. I want to have a divergent opinion.
We agree on most. He now has come around to believing in tariffs as also a negotiating point. You know, I'm renegotiating trade deals. And without tariffs, we wouldn't do nearly as well.
But Larry has been a friend of mine for a long time. He backed me very early in the campaign. I think the earliest — I think he was one of my original backers. He's a very, very talented man, a good man. And I think Larry Kudlow has a good chance. I'm also speaking to many others, but I think Larry has a very good chance.
Thank you all. I'll see you — I'll see you at the wall. I'll see you at the wall.

How Existing Energy Technologies Can Offset Peak Oil
How Existing Energy Technologies Can Offset Peak Oil
Electricity as fuel is one important solution, from nuclear power, coal, natural gas, anything that makes sense economically. One way that we can reduce our oil dependence is to begin to displace it with electricity made from other forms of energy. There are advances in battery technology, which can allow us to do just that. Biofuels, particularly alcohol fuels like ethanol, and methanol can also significantly reduce the dependence on oil. The entire family of alcohol fuels can run on flexible fuel engines, which are similar to the combustion engines of today and cost an extra $150 to produce.
Here we go again about biofuels, which take nearly as much if not more energy to produce as they yield. Ethanol is nothing but corporate welfare for farmers. It will not substitute for fossil fuels, it will consume more fossil fuels and produce more C02.

Climb an overhanging (not a long overhang) hand crack on the left end of Owl Ledge. Difficulty eases to 5.4 after 15 ft. This used to be a 5.6 climb but a large 1000lb flake fell out of the start in 2001 (Or some say!). Currently rated 5.8!
This climb is a fairly obvious crack a ways left of the more obvious Nutcracker crack and Gallwas crack.

When I get a chance to climb this route, it is always fun! TR'd. I love the first couple moves on this route. It is very gym-like moves. Super fun!! Aug 17, 2011
Marc Kajut San Diego, CA
So despite what some will say... this route is an easier route with some fall potential one or two moves off the ground before you pull the roof (how you choose to do this determines whether or not this climb is an easy 5.7 or hard 5.8 for you.) Make sure to place good pro so that when you fall the first time you try this you gain some confidence in your placements! Cheers, MK Oct 20, 2011
Led it on 5.22.12. I agree w/ Marc about placing good pro prior to the crux. I added a few more pros before placing a knee bar. I look forward to leading it again...clean! So much fun!! vimeo.com/42692850 May 25, 2012

Hey, my girlfriend and I visited the area on December 7 of this year and accidentally left behind a number 5 BD cam in the crack at the bottom of this climb. If anyone has climbed this climb since then and come across this cam I would be forever indebted to you if I could get it back. Thanks. James (508) 868 5671. Dec 30, 2016

Kroger delaying new Midland store
The Kroger Co. of Michigan is delaying construction of a new Kroger Marketplace proposed for 315 Joe Mann Blvd. until further notice.
"We are hopeful to commence work on the project at a later date," stated a release from Ken McClure, public affairs manager for The Kroger Co. of Michigan. "Kroger management decided during a
recent planning meeting to focus current resources elsewhere rather than expediting the project as had been pursued to date."
McClure said Kroger owns the land at the proposed site and will continue operating its Midland store at 2808 Ashman St. Kroger hopes to proceed with the Joe Mann Boulevard project, which is part of Kroger's overall Michigan capital investment strategy.
The Kroger site plan was submitted in December by LSG Engineers and Surveyors on behalf of Kroger. It was approved on Feb. 23 by the planning commission, after a two and a half hour discussion. City council approved the plan at its meeting on Feb. 29.
The site plan details the 125,190-square-foot Kroger Marketplace, which would face east toward Jefferson Avenue. A fuel station with nine gas pumps was planned for the site.
For more information about Kroger store locations and employment opportunities, visit www.kroger.com.

Wow-We had a great turn out yesterday! Not an empty seat in the house! Everyone was enjoying themselves by chatting with friends, watercolor painting or playing along with me (Cindy). Acrylics can be a lot of fun and we were enjoying the various processes of experimenting with some texture tools, layering colors, stamping, etc.
Reminder: next Monday is Martin Luther Kings Day, so the senior center will be closed. See you all again on Jan. 27th and those of you who played with the acrylics and want me to bind up a field journal, please bring your 6" x 4" (12 pieces) watercolor paper and your painted covers. I will bring the bind-it-all machine.

Women in Political TheoryBy: Jane Duran (author)Hardback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionThe first volume to explore comprehensively the intersection of feminism, politics, and philosophy, Women in Political Theory sheds light on the contributions of women philosophers and theorists to contemporary political thought. With close attention to the work of five central thinkers-Sarah Grimke, Anna Julia Cooper, Jane Addams, Rosa Luxemburg and Hannah Arendt-this book not only offers sustained analyses of the thought of these leading figures, but also examines their relationship with established political theorists of the past, such as Locke, Machiavelli, and the ancients. Demonstrating that each of the figures covered was indeed a political theorist of her time, whilst highlighting the strength of her thought and the reasons for which it has not been accorded the attention that it merits, Women in Political Theory offers a fascinating overview of the political thought of five theorists whose work is central to an understanding of modern thought. As such, it will be of interest to scholars and students of sociology, philosophy, political and social theory, feminist thought, and gender studies.

She is author of Women, Philosophy and Literature; Eight Women Philosophers; Philosophies of Science: Feminist Theories; Towards a Feminist Epistemology; Worlds of Knowing; Knowledge in Context; and Epistemics.

The Saladin Citadel and Mosque of Mohamed Ali
The location was fortified by the Ayyubid ruler Salah al-Din (Saladin) between 1176 and 1183 AD, to protect it from the Crusaders. The hill itself has a huge chunk missing and it might have been used as the quarry by ancient Egyptians for limestone to build the Great Pyramids in nearby Giza. It contains the Mosque of Mohamed Ali, which was built between 1828 and 1848. The citadel also contains other mosques, Al-Gawhara Palace, the National Military Museum and the Police Museum

I commuted to Atlantic City for a photoshoot with Celebrity Chef Bobby Flay in order to promote the opening of his new restaurant Bobby Flay Steak at the Borgata casino.
When I photograph subjects with food, the problem is that the food is normally too small too hold. Holding larger objects while being photographed, no matter who it is or what they are, gives more dominance to the portrait. In my opinion, Bobby is taken more seriously as a celebrity chef when he has a giant lobster in his hands, as oppose to a small plate of steak. Above everything else, Bobby is a power leader in his industry with a high reputation, and as his photographer, I have a responsibility to uphold this.

Left high and 'dry', this village is boycotting the election
Unaddressed water woes of the residents of this village in Adampur assembly segment, about 40km from Hisar, have led them to boycott the assembly elections. Sitting on dharna, residents have not allowed any of the candidates enter the village for campaigning in the past two weeks, alleging that politicians have been failing them for years.chandigarh Updated: Oct 13, 2014 23:46 IST
Unaddressed water woes of the residents of this village in Adampur assembly segment, about 40km from Hisar, have led them to boycott the assembly elections. Sitting on dharna, residents have not allowed any of the candidates enter the village for campaigning in the past two weeks, alleging that politicians have been failing them for years.
The administration tried to pacify them last week, but to no avail. They say they won't cast their votes on Wednesday, when the state votes to elect its new government. "We are getting water at `800 per tanker from Rajasthan across the border for years, as the canal supply is irregular and ground water is saline," Umed Singh, one of the villagers on dharna, told HT.
Budak is the last village of the state on this route, barely a kilometre from the border with Rajasthan. "Each family has to go at least once a week to get water tanker from the Sidmukh canal around 5km away from here in Rajasthan. Sometimes, we have to bribe policemen at the border to get the tankers into the village," Umed added.
The village has population of over 7,000, with 2,200 eligible voters. They say 6,000 acres of land have dried as rains are irregular and water supply in the canal from Balsamand Main Canal erratic.
It started 15 years ago after Bhajan Lal lost power, the residents rued. Water in the canal started receding since. "From 20 days in a month around 15 years ago, we get water now for seven days a month in the canal. That too is stolen midway," another villager, Virender Punia, said, showing the empty canal and dried crop of guar in the fields. Two storage tanks were filled with garbage, though after protests the canal was cleaned by the administration recently.
Groundwater supply that the villagers used for cattle was allegedly stopped around a year ago. One said, "A large number of families have sold their cattle," added Punia. The village has two schools with nearly 400 students.
"Canal water level remains low. So, it cannot be flowed into treatment plants. Hence untreated water is supplied to the school for use in toilets," said teacher Ram Swaroop at the dharna site. As of drinking water, it is fetched from across the border sometimes by the villagers and on several occasions by the school authorities.
Those in fray here are Bhajan Lal's son and HJC chief Kuldeep Bishnoi, INLD's Kulbir Singh Beniwal, Congress' Satinder Singh, and Karan Singh Ranolia of the BJP.
When contacted, Hisar deputy commissioner ML Kaushik says the administration is aware of the matter and taking "all possible steps". "A few days ago I had sent a team to get the canal cleared. Boycotting the election is not the solution," he stresses. He adds, "If they wish to lodge protest, they can use the NOTA (none of the above) option. We hope to pacify them."
Another official seeking anonymity tells HT that a "tanker mafia" is also working in the border area, "which is also responsible for theft of canal water. He adds that if any action is taken against those supplying water illegally to the fields, officials are "pressured" by politicians not to take any action.

The first School Council met in November 1991. This forum gives the pupils a voice in the organisation and running of their school. Pupils gain first-hand experience of the democratic process at work, the responsibility entailed and the need to be tolerant and respect the views of others.
Meetings take place once each term and are chaired by the Head Boy, Head Girl and their deputies. They are joined by a representative from each form and two teacher representatives – the Head Teacher and Mr Johnson – to form the full Council. All representatives wear a green School Council badge.
Full Council has approved a constitution drawn up by senior pupils. Before a meeting, all pupils in the school are invited to put forward items for the agenda which have been discussed in the College councils, via the class councils. The Head Pupils under the guidance of Mr Johnson draw this up.
For the College councils it is the form representatives' responsibility to briefly report back to their class after each meeting during pastoral time. Time is allocated before each Council meeting to discuss, at length, issues and recommendations from the last meeting.

dresses - where can i get a 50s style dress on the cheap?
preferably dark blue / navy, halterneck, suitable for a wedding.
i'm not really sure where to start.
I don't know if it's cheap
But dollydagger.com do 50s dresses and they are pretty sweet.
pretty perfect
except for the prices :S
I'd start with Beyond Retro.
eBay often has good vintage stuff too if you can sort through all the shit, but hard to buy without being able to try on.
There's a second-hand place on Holloway Road that sometimes has some good stuff too, but it's pretty hit & miss. Reasonably priced though.
What's your price range like?
VERY low
unless i wait a few months :S

Catch That Bus – Your Partner in Most Needed Situation When Traveling
I work as the marketing head of a well-known multinational company and I love my job as it has taught me things which took me from nowhere to a height which I appreciate. I'm a devote worker and has every time been busy with one or the other fact to prove my ideas being innovative. But there are time when I can't find possible solutions to what I basically am looking for. This was exactly the same time when I had to go to Singapore and I was unable to get any airline ticket due to hectic schedule. Reaching there for an important meeting was a necessity.
A friend introduced me to catch that bus promo code 2017 for reaching my destination.
I was willing to opt for any given possibility to reach Singapore but using a bus service and that for the most needed activity was a mind boggling situation for me…..
The situation wanted me to take wise decision as this meeting with the client was to bring heavy revenue which company would have appreciated. There was again a chance for me to get promotion and I didn't want it to go waste.
When I landed up on the site to book the ticket for the bus service I found the site quite impressing. The offering and services were appealing and had very positive impact on any visitor let alone me. I reserved the seat using Catch That Bus mobile app which easily made me be available to the discounts which did not affect my pocket.
The next day I received my ticket and in the evening left for Singapore. The buses were quite comfortable and had the facilities which any good airline provided. The seats were comfy and the attendants were always there to look up to what was needed by me.
I did not realize how long distance was covered without even letting me notice. Next day when I reached Singapore I didn't feel any glimpse of fatigue as the travelling experience in the comfortable bus was very good one. Catch That Bus voucher codes were the magical codes which made me avail the markdowns on the booking.
I attended the meeting with ease and was successful in convincing the clients which ended up signing the deal. I was too happy to have attained what I was here for. I reserved the seat for going back home to Malaysia as I preferred the bus service which was my rescuer when I needed to go for this trip.
I would suggest everyone to trust the most auspicious bus service in Malaysia in taking care of you and your needs.

Donna L. Rich, The whimsical ceramic pigs, vibrant acrylic paintings and other art pieces set for auction today are not what many people might expect from homeless artists - a surprise that advocates hope will dispel myths, raise money and enlist support for a problem that besets between 3,000 and 5,000 people in Baltimore on any given day.
"There is talent among these individuals that breaks down the stigma; it breaks down the stereotype of homelessness," said Donna L. Rich, director of development for the Baltimore Office of Homeless Services.
"The art is very wonderful and expressive. I want people to see the talent that is part of these homeless citizens ... so that the community can embrace the problem and become part of the solution."

Zoo Tycoon - Mini
Don't play full screen - this causes vector images to warp and glitch and all that fun stuff. (But, you know... If you do it anyway and it works that's perfectly fine! :)
Dragon suggested by @Finchflame
This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time, ever since I got addicted to "Zoo Tycoon 2" when I was about seven or eight. (I'm three hundred and twenty-seven now)
Anyway... Click the green flag twice. Actually, just knock yourself out clicking away at that thing.
Press play to start! (obviously...)
So, the bulldozer deletes stuff. Click that, then click on whatever you want to delete. If you accidentally clicked on it, don't worry! Just click the background and nothing will be deleted.
The store is right underneath that. To close the store, just either press that button again, or click the store background.
If you decide that you don't want an animal that you just bought, press space. Move the cursor around to where you want to put the animal, then click to place it. If you ever want to move it a gain, click and hold until it darkens, then move it to where you want! Buying an animal will make your zoo more popular, unless you've already bought that animal.
To change the admission fee, click on the zoo entrance.
The more animals you have, the longer guests will stay. The longer a guest stays, the more they will donate or litter. To see what a guest thinks about your zoo, click on them! :) If a guest litters, click on the garbage to clean it up. (you get money for that, cool!) Sometimes guests will say random stuff that is completely irrelevant to the game.
Majority of the sounds from freesounds.org
To mute the music drag the slider on the top all the way to the left.
Press the "z" key to enter a command.
if you see (C) behind a command, that means that it's cheating.
•money - set the amount of money that you have(C)
•popularity - set the popularity (higher popularity will make guests stay longer)(C)
•killall - removes all guests to reduce lag
•sweep - removes all litter(C) to reduce lag
•thinking - toggles speech bubbles
•view - shows/hides all buttons *WARNING* this may cause lag
•litter - toggles littering
Umm.. Yeah that's about it. Most of the sounds are from freesounds.org, the rest is by me.

Election Fools
In response to your April Fools' issue, I found it disturbing. But not as disturbing as the reaction of those who believed it as factual. If they really believed that their elected officials would entertain such a thought, perhaps they should think before voting in the next election.

On Tacos, Arizona and Immigration
Re: Citydesk by Nathaniel Hoffman Vol. 18-42. It doesn't take a lefty to find Sarah Palin all sass, no substance. It does, however, take someone who's lived in Arizona to steer him straight on tacos and immigration.
Chilangos had the worst Mexican food I ever ate, period. Not only was there no heat, there was no flavor, but the average Idaho Anglo is likely clueless on what real Mexican food is. A visit to a Phoenix taco joint says little about Arizona Mexican cuisine.
On immigration: Even the liberals (and lots of native Latins) in Tucson were against it, but then those I knew didn't run businesses addicted to ultra-cheap labor. Arizona was chaos five years ago when I left and well on its way to being Third World, U.S.A. Is it racist to accept the reality that a nation cannot be a nation without borders, anymore than a house cannot be a house without walls? Evidently so, huh?
It would take a book to describe the harm of illegal immigration to someone in denial about it, but there's a 300-word limit on letters here. Living near the largely open border provides a whole different perspective--there is also rampant drug smuggling, all sorts of crime, and now kidnapping. A rancher on the U.S. side was just shot and killed in Arizona, and property owners close to the border are finding it impossible to live there.
The recent Idaho efforts to restrict illegal immigrants and those hiring them were doomed by local pro-business groups. Greed is destroying this country, and it takes more than excellent ethnic food to dispense with the concern some of us have that our nation is literally being invaded--at citizens' expense.

Gagging on Gas
An open letter to all oil speculators: Even the dumbest rancher knows to fatten the steer before butchering. How about letting us get on our feet before bringing us to our knees again?

text: I'm a meat eater. I love meat. It's delicious, hearty, full of protein, and is filling. Plus all my favorite things are made of meat. For example; steak or bacon. For what it's worth I've been known to accessorize meat with other meats, including but not limited to bacon wrapped turkey for Thanksgiving. Because of this, I feel the following video will help you plant murderers understand a day in the life of one of us carnivores.

PSG owners looking at LA Galaxy takeover
989 // 08 Mar 2013, 17:14 IST
PSG's multi-millionaire Qatari owners are eyeing the takeover of Anschutz Entertainment Group that includes MLS side, LA Galaxy.
A French website reported the news that the Qatar Investment Authority who took over PSG in 2011, has joined forces with Colony Capital, former majority shareholders at the Parc des Princes, in an attempt to buy out AEG owner Phil Anschutz.
Three parties are interested to purchase the group, which – in addition to Galaxy – owns NHL franchise the LA Kings, holds shares in the LA Lakers, owns the O2 Arena in London and is a major player in the music industry.
The deal is reportedly worth around $7 billion and $10 billion.

Doing the course Multimedia and Computer Game Development is a course that is nearly impossible to complete without coming across personal productivity and collaboration tools. As these help you very much when undergoing assignments, any personal projects of your own or finding out any information you wish about the subjects you are studying.
Google Drive is a tool that I use for college when undertaking personal or group assignments. Google Drive is a service provided by Google which offers the user a file storage and synchronization service. It offers the user a cloud based service where they can create, edit and work on documents such as presentations, spreedsheets and word documents. It basically like Microsoft office but is alot more flexible as you can access your files from anywhere if you have an internet connection. For me it is very useful as if I have spare time and have work that is due I can just use a laptop/pc that is not mine and continue to work away. So I am not just restricted to working on my own laptop and not have to carry it everywhere. I also find it very useful if I am undertaking a group assignment as you can add multiple people to a document you have created and those then added can all simultanously work on the same document at the same time. For me I think it is very useful as you can see in real time what is being done to the document and not waiting to see what another person is doing so you can continue with your part and eachperson can then comment on what can be done to improve the assignment. For me a cloud based office like this is alot more resourceful and easier to use in terms of work as it offers the user alot more freedom to do what they want and when they want to do it.
Instant Messaging is another tool I use for collaboration. Instant Messaging(IM) is a type of online chat which offers the user a real time text transmission over the Internet via an IM service. Instant Messaging tools that I would be using are Facebooks IM, Skypes IM or Google Drives IM. I would use these tools if I am undertaking a personal project and need to get help or information from a friend fast, instead of another form of contact such as phone or emailing where I would have to wait a period for the person to respond and also not knowing if they are going to respond cause they might'nt even be online. With instant messaging at least you know if that person is available as yu are told in your list of friends. It is also very useful when doing an asignment as a group as with IM you can create a group chat where everybody in the group can chat simulatiounsly in real time which helps to get ideas out there and tasks done quickly and to the spec they need to be done. I changes or new ideas need to be added to an assignment then all the group can be contacted immediatly and together and are instantsly notified of any updates. It is also useful if one member is having troubles then the rest of the group can help that person cooperativily. For me IM is a great tool as I believe it is fast and effictive and getting information across to others on a real time basis.
Dropbox is another tool that I use for college. Dropbox is a file hosting service which offers the user cloud storage and file sharing. I find it very useful when working in a group and everyboy is in different locations and you have files that another person needs. So instead of using a USB and having to meet up with them, you can uploa the files to dropbox and store them on their cloud storage and then share that file with the other person allowing them to gain access to the work you have uploaded. For me this is very useful as all it requires is a few clicks instead of going to the trouble of putting it onto something physical and using up time which could be one completing the project.

World's Most Colorful Cities That Should Be Part Of Your Bucket List In 2018
Some cities are known for their nightlife. Some cities are known for their street food. Some cities are known for their quaint cobbled streets or the exciting experiences they offer thrill-seeking travelers.
The cities on this list, however, are simply known for being the most vibrantly coloured and visually breathtaking across the globe.
1. Nassau, The Bahamas
Nassau is the place for both, a taste of urban excitement as well as underwater adventures. The vivacious city is known for its beaches, offshore coral reefs and of course, its typical pastel-coloured British colonial buildings.
2. Guanajuato, Mexico
With every house a different colour, the most beautiful city in Mexico resembles an artist's palette and boasts a whimsical soul, its streets abound with performing clowns and men in Renaissance costumes.
3. Cinque Terre, Italy
These five hard-to-access candy-coloured villages on the Italian Riviera are quaint and ancient. The pastel-coloured villas, sun-faded and rustic, are absolutely lovely and worth the visit.
4. Pelourinho, Salvador, Brazil
Once an ancient slave market, P Pelourinho was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985. Today, the city boasts a culture is as vibrant as its facades and has become an important centre for food and dance.
5. Burano, Italy
The jewel-coloured homes on the Venetian Island of Burano are like a beacon to guests arriving by sea. According to popular lore, local fisherman first began using brightly coloured paint so they could spot their homes through the fog and find their way home. Now, of course, the practice has become a law, but not one we're complaining about.
6. Willemstad, Curaçao
The story of how the capital city of Curaçao got its colours is an unusual one. Apparently, back in the 1800s, the then governor of this Dutch colony issued a decree mandating that buildings be painted in any other colour but white because he decided that it was the cause of his migraines. Today, years later, the buildings stand in all their glory, glittering like jewels in the sun.
7. Valparaíso, Chile
Hidden behind the vivacious, varied, and artistically clashing façades of this historic city are restaurants, shops and little street galleries that add their own charm to the place.
8. Ilulissat, Greenland
In the 1700s, Greenland began the tradition of colour-coding their buildings. Because hospitals were yellow, police stations black and fisheries blue, people eventually began choosing more varied colours for their homes. Ilulissat, in following with this practice, has proven to be major eye-candy thanks to its colourful buildings that stand out amongst its Arctic surroundings.
9. Jodhpur, India
Besides being the Gateway to the Thar Desert, Jodhpur is home to the majestic Mehrangarh Fort and plays host to vibrant festivals like the Marwar, Gangaur & Teej. Within the Blue City, you'll find a tangle of winding streets scented by incense with bazaars selling everything under the sun.
Travel goals, much?

It is a well reviewed wet lens but here is one more. We took a "real" vacation to Cozumel; two easy drift dives in the morning and then lunch by the pool with margaritas! First drink last dive...no worries!
As I have documented years ago I dropped my DSLR gear for the Sony RX100 line in Nauticam housings. I love to shoot wide angle, anyone can shoot macro
I found it had pretty good range, see below. I did find I needed to be around f.8 or the shots needed a fair amount of sharpening. I did not take it off all week as Coz is mainly drift diving. Great trip but really need to get back to Indonesia.

People on this board are smart and as I review this thread I think you all can read between the lines. As someone that has always been self employed I know how hard it is to run a business. I only want the best for all who take on this challenge. In addition when dealing with WhaleSwim I made it very clear we were very avid amateur photographers, with fairly large rigs and asked where they comfortable with that? They said yes, they dealt with photographers all the time. We have been to Tonga before, going out with Tony Wu. We had a great time and of course Tony "gets" photogs. Tony can be a little hard to get a hold of but stick with it. You are more on your own on getting to Tonga. Once their everything went great and Tony is super knowledgeable about the whales and working with them. He was booked up so we went with WhaleSwim this round.
WhaleSwim is a well organized company. Their communication while planning the trip was excellent and we found them very helpful. The on the water organization, boats and crew are very good, the crew was fantastic. In addition we really enjoyed the places they arranged for us to stay at, especially Mandala Beach Resort (SP?). I think WhaleSwim is great for those who want to get in the water with whales and not stress about arranging things for themselves. Perfect for those who may not be the strongest of swimmers or even people with kids.
Tonga has very strict rules on how to interact with the whales, which is GOOD! To their credit WhaleSwim stick to these rules, and in my imho maybe goes a step beyond. This is hard to argue against. For example one rule is no free diving to the whales. On one rotation in the water WhaleSwim actually "Pulled" me out of the water because I left the surface while trying to avoid getting kicked in the face by some of my fellow "dive buddies". In general all I wanted to do was drop down 3-4 feet to get out of the chop but that was not allowed.
What WhaleSwim wants you to do is get to a spot and link arms so you stay in a tight group. This is very difficult if you have a camera and often dealing with surface chop and swells. Not very safe for the person next to you when you have a large metal box in your hand. When I brought this up and said I would stay close but not link arms there was a lot of consternation but finally agreed to. I was the "trouble child" on this trip. Anytime I got more than 2meters from the group it was brought to my attention when we got on the boat. Without a doubt I lost shots when the group could not keep up with a whale.
On the boat there was just one rinse bucket for masks, snorkels and cameras. They wanted us to let our rigs float in that bucket, in 2-4 foot seas. When I said I would prefer to just store them under our seat I was told it would be a safety problem. Eventually we were provided a tote to store them in. The pro shooter for Travel and Leisure followed the rules and his dome was bashed up and his housing flooded, in the rinse bucket, on day 3. I do believe they could easily improve this aspect of their operation and get in line with what almost every other live-aboard does. Last pet peeve for all dive operations is guides with cameras, drives me crazy. Here the guides, including the owner, were packing GoPros, point and shoots. Of course they were leading the group, they don't want you to stray away, so I have a ton of shots of their outstretched arms, camera in hand.
Sorry for the long post. WhaleSwim is an excellent choice for 90% of those out there. But maybe not for the most avid, want to bend the rules a little, photographer types.

It was a great trip. Some of the video is bouncy as the carrier would not allow us to duck dive to get out of the 3ft chop. But the calves were amazing. There are 4min and 13min versions.

Beauty of a compact system is I carry EVERYTHING on and still all under 15lbs.

on 11 December 2015 - 09:03 AM
Years ago I felt PADI/NAUI/SSI/etc needed to put out Rules for Underwater Photographers. Teach it in their classes. Make posters dive resorts could post. Problem is photogs think they have to have that shot and are too impatient to wait, work for it. Resorts want people happy, Guides want tips, nobody wants to be the bad guy. If a resort/guide could say "if we want to keep our Padi/Naui/SSI 5 Star rating we need to adhere to these rules" it would take some of the pressure off the Guides. I talked to several resorts, some in Lembeh and there was support but the Agencies did not want to get involved, I gave up the "crusade".
So beyond destroying the vistas we love, harassing the creatures that make it special it devalues everyones images.
End of rant.

Agree, tired of seeing manipulated subjects. A subject that we need to keep revisiting and wish competitions would just eliminate "set" photos. Yes every now and then someone who honestly was at the right place at the right time may get lumped in but hopefully they will have photos "before" that can support the shot was one of those amazing moments.

Something I put together about how I have come to the conclusion a Compact camera is all the camera I need for my underwater shooting. Covers costs of the different systems, issues with traveling, how many megapixels do you really need. All based on what am I really doing with my photos??? Plus my experience over 200hrs underwater shooting a compact system.
Sorry to lazy to figure out how to post it with photos here, so here is the link: http://www.aquablued...al-de-evolution

Thank you to the Washington County Commissioners for the $3.5 million allocated to the Board of Education for deferred school maintenance. The board is using the funds to address the out-of-date, and in some cases out-of-repair, 1950s infrastructure of our schools.
We know the importance of keeping schools in good repair, but have lacked the financial resources to do so. The fact is, over the last 20 years the operations and maintenance budget has received less and less of the funding pie. Over the past 33 years, the national publication American School & University has been surveying school finance directors.
They recently reported that school operations and maintenance budgets have gone from 9.2 percent of a school system's budget in 1994 to 7.7 percent in 2004. In its March 2005 report card, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave school infrastructure in the U.S. a grade of "D."
The report went on to say that it is uncertain whether schools can handle growing enrollment and maintain smaller class sizes required by the No Child Left Behind Act.
