Tips On Losing Excess Pounds Effortlessly Witness How It Shed 17 Pounds In 3 Weeks
Losing weight can be a daunting task! You may do great the first couple of weeks, but slowly start losing your motivation. Then you begin to ponder how other people have been successful enough to reach their goals. What do they do to achieve this?
You should first determine what your weight loss goals are. Is it your desire to wear clothes in a specific size? Do you know how much weight you want to lose? Do you want to feel better?
Keep track of the amount of weight you lose every week. You can do this by weighing in every week. It's also helpful to keep a daily Food journal. By noting which foods and drinks we consume, we empower ourselves to make wiser weight loss decisions.
If you let yourself get hungry, you will begin to think with your tummy rather than your head. Avoid making poor food choices by always have a collection of healthful snacks packed and ready whenever you are out. It is far better to bring a bagged lunch wherever you are going, than to end up in a fast food restaurant. Packing a healthy lunch helps you avoid the temptation of high-calorie fast food. As it's typically much less expensive to bring your own lunch than to dine out, you could end up saving money as well as your waistline!
Eating healthy and exercising regularly are a big part of the best weight loss plans. Setting aside a fixed time each week to exercise regularly will improve your stamina and energy. If you do not like to exercise a lot, look for physical activities that you do like, and do them regularly. Try going on a walk with your friends. You could also try doing activities like hiking and salsa dancing to help you lose weight.
Clean out all the spaces in which you keep junk food. This can be at home, the office, or even your car. If the food isn't there you will not be able to eat it. Make sure that you replace this junk food with more healthy options. Be prepared for sudden snack attacks by having plenty of ready-to-eat foods on hand, such as carrot and celery sticks, fruit, seeds and other nutritious treats.
Get a friend to workout with. If we are on our own, we often make excuses to relieve ourselves of more difficult responsibilities. A great way to stay motivated when you are working out is to have a buddy do the exercise routine with you. Friends help by giving support and motivation.

The Lycopodiopsida are a class of plants often loosely grouped as the fern allies. Traditionally, the group included not only the clubmosses and firmosses, but also the spikemosses (Selaginella and relatives) and the quillworts (Isoetes and relatives). However, the latter are now usually placed into a separate class, Isoetopsida.
Clubmosses are thought to be structurally similar to the earliest vascular plants, with small, scale-like leaves, homosporous spores borne in sporangia at the bases of the leaves, branching stems (usually dichotomous), and generally simple form.
The class Lycopodiopsida as interpreted here contains a single living order, the Lycopodiales, and a single extinct order, the Drepanophycales.
Order Lycopodiales
The classification of this group has been unsettled in recent years and a consensus has yet to emerge. Older classifications took a very broad definition of the genus Lycopodium that included virtually all the species of Lycopodiales. The trend in recent years has been to define Lycopodium more narrowly and to classify the other species into several genera, an arrangement that has been supported by both morphological and molecular data and adopted in numerous revisions and flora treatments. Starting from the four genera accepted by Øllgaard,[1] a study based on chloroplast DNA produced the cladogram shown below (reproduced here to genus level only),[2] confirming the monophyly of the four genera, and their distance from Isoetes.
The genera fall into two distinct clades, but there is, as yet, no consensus as to whether to recognize them in a single family, Lycopodiaceae, or to separate them into two families: a more narrowly defined Lycopodiaceae and Huperziaceae.
The family Lycopodiaceae, as narrowly defined, comprises the extant genus, Lycopodium, which includes the wolf's-foot clubmoss, Lycopodium clavatum, ground-pine, Lycopodium obscurum, southern ground-cedar, Lycopodium digitatum, and other species. Also included are species of Lycopodiella, such as the bog clubmoss, Lycopodiella inundata. Most of the Lycopodium species favor acidic, sandy, upland sites, whereas most of the Lycopodiella favor acidic, boggy sites.
The other major group, the family Huperziaceae, are known as the firmosses. This group includes the genus Huperzia, such as the shining firmoss, Huperzia lucidula, the rock firmoss, Huperzia porophila, and the northern firmoss, Huperzia selago. This group also includes the odd, tuberous Australasian plant Phylloglossum, which was, until recently, thought to be only remotely related to the clubmosses. However, as the cladogram above shows, it is closely related to the genus Huperzia.
Lycopodium powder, the dried spores of the common clubmoss, was used in Victorian theater to produce flame-effects. A blown cloud of spores burned rapidly and brightly, but with little heat. It was considered safe by the standards of the time.

Laie Elementary students entertained the community at the annual Christmas Tree Lighting event, which was described as the "kickoff to Christmas" by the PCC's Vice President of Cultural Presentations Delsa Moe.
Held Nov. 29, hundreds of community members packed the CAC to watch each grade perform their own musical number.
Moe, the announcer for the event, said she has been involved with the event since her children were in it. "And now they have kids of their own." She said her favorite part about the program was the performance of the elementary students because they are always "unpredictable and fun."
The event started with a talk from BYUH Vice President of Academics John Bell, who was representing President John S. Tanner. Tanner was not able to be at the event due to conflicting schedules, said Alison Davis, his executive assistant. Davis added President Tanner always enjoyed the event and regretted he could not attend this year.
In his talk, Bell said, "We recognize one of the great gifts of Christmas bringing hope into the world is our 'keiki.'"
Before performances, a giant screen displayed videos of elementary students were either performing skits or answering questions about the holiday season.
The first video showed children wearing headphones listening and grooving out to Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time." The crowd laughed as younger children trying to dance along in their seats.
In between performances, a girl dressed as an elf would skip on stage and say, "Hi, my name is Keiki and I'm from the North Pole."
A little girl could be heard in the stand afterwards, "I like that girl."
Keiki the Elf was played by Rachel Chambers, a junior studying music from Utah. She said, "I was super stoked when they asked me to do it because I love kids. The kids were really cute."
Throughout the performances, Keiki the Elf came out to try to find where Santa Clause was. After asking kids where he was, to which they responded with answers like Russia or Kauai, a video played and showed Santa's whereabouts, beginning at the North Pole.
The first performance was from the pre-kindergarteners, who danced to Alvin and the Chipmunks' "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" and the Cheetah Girls' "Cheetah-licious Christmas."
They jumped up and down and stomped their feet while trying to keep the hats out of their faces.
The costumes during the numbers were the best of the night, said Taimi Gutierrez, a senior international cultural studies major from the Philippines. For "Cheetah-licious," the female students shook their hips and waved their hands while wearing a golden sash across their waist. For "The Chipmunk Song," the male students jumped up and down and wore snapbacks and baseball caps with red shirts with an "A" on the front resembling the iconic Alvin and the Chipmunks.
The next performance was from kindergarteners and first graders who wore white shirts. It started off with a video asking them: "What do you like about Christmas?" Almost all of them mentioned presents, but one particular boy added, "I like it because we don't have to sit around and stuff."
The performance began with an introduction from a boy saying, "Everyone knows Frosty the Snowman is a super groovy guy." The kids then sang "Snowman Jump."
A video before the second and third graders' performance showed students answering the question: "What makes Christmas wonderful?" A blonde girl said she loves playing the nativity. Another girl answered, "It's the most time I spend with my family."
A girl introduced the fourth and fifth graders' performance by saying the children were having an investigation of how the presents got underneath the tree. She said, "We have some wonderful leads that say it's a big fat guy in a suite." The song featured a boy in a Santa suit holding up his stuffed stomach.
Pakaroa Haunga, a student from the performance, introduced the musical number. "We wish you a swinging holiday," he said as he stepped back and did a shaka with both hands as he left.
Another student, Marlee Peters, began the finale, "Perhaps the best reminder of the night is not just what you get, but what you give." The kids performed with a few signs as well as a man joining to sign the whole song in American Sign Language.
Teachers and staff even joined in on the fun by moving and drumming to Justin Bieber's version of the "Little Drummer Boy" with plastic cups, similar to the style of "When I'm Gone" from the movie "Pitch Perfect."
Jared Mariano, a freshman studying information technology from the Philippines, said his favorite part of the event was the finale. He said it was a "really, really good dance. I liked the songs."
When Santa went out to the kids, they reacted by screaming, jumping in excitement, and throwing hats in the air almost like a Kahuku graduation. Moe asked to take a selfie with Santa, and the kids jumped around to get into the picture. The event concluded with a countdown to light the Christmas tree.
Sarah Lukov, a freshman studying applied mathematics from Laie, said she attends the lighting event each year. "One thing this year was I wish they had done all the lights just at the program." She explained normally they light not only the Christmas tree, but also all the other lights at the same time as well; the lights across campus were already lit a few nights before the event. "But everything else was awesome. Everyone was together."
Mariano said it would be awesome if BYUH students had a Christmas performance too. He said, "That would be like Culture Night but Christmas. That would be so cool." Lukov agreed and said it would be especially cool if each club did their own performance, just like Culture Night.

Goodbye Winnipeg, Hello Vancouver
Well friends, long time no see! Sorry about the lack of updating for the last couple months, I've been incredibly busy with work and summer school. I also sadly left my downtown Winnipeg apartment in May to move in with Darcy in Osborne Village. I've been living in the historic and possibly haunted Roslyn building since then. Everyone who is anyone has a story about partying here. My dad, apparently, long ago partied in the apartment of Burton Cummings (the lead singer for The Guess Who), although he says Burton was out-of-town at the time. But don't fret, if you haven't yet had the opportunity to party in the Ros your opportunity is around the corner.
So my first big news update, if the gossip hasn't already reached you, is that my real move has been confirmed. That's right, I was accepted to study at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. That means I'm moving to Vancouver this fall, the moving truck is on standby and the flights are booked! So farewell Winnipeg, please accept this as my final notice. I've also decided to close down this blog within the coming weeks too. But don't worry, you won't be completely losing out on our personal one-on-one time here. I'm in the process of opening two new blogs, one for my personal (and occasional political updates) and another for design/vintage/art stuff. Stay tuned for announcements on those.
Darcy and I leave on Monday, August 29. That's in about 10 days. A going away party invite will be arriving in some of your mailboxes quite soon. To all my Winnipeg friends, its been a slice. And to Winnipeg, well it has been a blast. I'm certainly not going to miss those mosquitos and long winters. But I'll never forget your beautiful summers, small town charm, vibrant arts scene and wonderful neighborhoods. So this farewell is a reluctant one, because I absolutely love this city. And I'm sure you won't be able to keep me away for long. So goodbye my Winnipeg friends and hello Vancouver.
But my Grandpa was 1/16th Cherokee!
One of the blogs I regularly follow is Native Appropriations. Adrienne K. is the writer/blogger extraordinaire and she's an indigenous PhD student in Boston. Adrienne posted this brilliant cartoon by adverbemonade earlier today.

Street Art to Change the World
Ever heard of JR the French street artist? Probably not, I hadn't before. His message in this brilliant TED Talk is that art can change the world. It's a 24 minute video and worth every second of it. I have to say his projects in South America and Africa are totally stunning.
What do you think?
Athlete Ally
Here's a really inspiring story coming from the States. An All American wrestler, Hudson Taylor, has created a website called Athlete Ally , which is a wonderful resource to help support individuals, families and friends, who have been victims of homophobic comments, gestures or acts in the world of athletics. Being heavily involved in sport, as a gymnast for the majority of my life, I can say that this type of tool is absolutely essential. I know firsthand how difficult it is to be both an athlete and gay. The competitive nature of sport leads to some verbal jostling, and too often it takes the form of homophobic remarks.
Obviously some sports will be more susceptible to this kind of abrasive and unhealthy environment. But what I think is important to note is that the source of this type of behaviour is not limited to within the sport. Myself, having been a gymnast, I dealt with the weekly harassment of being called a "fag" or "gay" for practicing a "girl's sport". I spent all my teenage years denying my sexuality due in large part to my own persistence in not wanting to reinforce this stereotype.
I'm not saying it's easier to be out in one sport or another. Everybody has their own experiences and the main point is that any homophobia can – and most likely will – alter the path of one's life. Kudos to Hudson Taylor (who's heterosexual, by the way) for bringing to light something that is all to often pushed aside or swept under the rug. If you have a minute to spare head on over to the website and show your support for gay athletes! Here's a video of an interview he did with MSNBC:
University of Manitoba Labour Days
I have been incredibly swamped with work and school lately and I haven't had time to update the blog. For those of you wondering what my status is for next year you're just going to have to continue on waiting. I haven't received word yet on my application to Fine Art school, but I promise you will all be the FIRST to know. Well first after my family, friends, employers, facebookers and twitter followers of course. But you're seriously at the top of my list.
In other news I wanted to take the opportunity to plug a super-amazing event of pure awesomeness taking place at the University of Manitoba at the end of this month. Seriously awesomeness. The FIRST EVER University of Manitoba Labour Days. That's right folks you heard about it here first. Labour Days will be a celebration and showcase of the history and achievements of Manitoba's labour movement and will bring Labour Studies students into contact with our friends and allies in the labour and social justice community.
Labour Days will be held from Tuesday, March 29 to Thursday, March 31. It will include an exclusive career fair for Labour Studies students with key employers from the community and a featured speakers series in the University Centre Fireside Lounge.
Check out the poster for the public speakers series featuring Dave Sauer – President of the Winnipeg Labour Council, Rob Hilliard – WCB Advocate and Director of Workplace Health and Safety at UFCW Local 832 and Dianna Scarth, Executive Director of the Manitoba Human Rights Commission.
Isn't that poster a beauty? (Yes, I designed it. And I'm quite proud).
The University of Manitoba Labour Days event is being modeled after a similar event held at George Brown College in Ontario.
So seriously, spread the word and make sure to check the events out.
Oh and don't forget:
Friends don't let friends cross picket lines
And if you love the weekend (I know I do) thank the union
That's all folks.
Lojso by Olafur Arnalds
This afternoon I found myself purging the several thousand email messages I've acquired in my gmail inbox over the last few years when I came upon a link to a video a friend had sent me for inspiration. I thought that the Lavender Rhino crowd would appreciate its melancholic beauty. Enjoy!

For reasons too complicated to go into here without making this article take on the proportions of 'War and Peace' it is important to note that I am not a Lefty, I am an Anti-Fascist.... there is a huge difference.
My fellow countrymen.
If I had chosen greed instead of Country, if I had chosen 'Thatcherism' over 'Patriotism' I would be rich, I didn't, so I'm not. I have never till this day regretted that choice
I have a terrible feeling growing within me that the winner of the upcoming General Election will not be determined by Facts, but instead that it will be won because of Fear, Prejudice, and Hate.
Statistics, and hard data it seems will not decide which Political Party has a majority to rule over us or which Corporate Lackey sits in number 10 Downing Street, for facts are now seemingly irrelevant in the cause of Democracy, and as such Democracy (or what once posed as Democracy) is no longer a functional reality.
In a nation riddled with a fearful electorate 'Hard Facts' quite literally mean 'diddle squat'.
No evidence ever seems to change or sway the mind of a right wing leaning voter. And I put this down to a simple truth which is, that the mind does not command us, the heart does, and a heart ruled by Prejudice can never act logically or show stalwart compassion for others.
Ostensibly, as I sit and watch the endless debates and vitriolic arguments online, or in Newspaper blogs, the only thing which will determine the vote for millions of pathetic mewling cowards [and to consider voting for the right when fellow citizens are under such duress from a criminal elite is to be a pathetic mewling coward] is whether or not the Political Party that people are considering voting for on the 7th of May 2015 reflects their own wretched prejudice and detestable malice for others.
This is the regrettable conclusion I have come to... that Hate not Love will determine our nation's future, and that future is a society based on Fear, Prejudice, and Hate...
Hate for Immigrants. Disabled People. The Unemployed. Single Mums. Muslims. Jews. Black People. Brown People. Asian People. Hate for Romanians. For the French. For the Germans. The Europeans. Hate for the weak. For the old. Hate for the poor. Hate and fear of their own situation!
What a terrible Dystopia that will be?
And what is more astounding to my mind is that it does not matter that half the ignorant bastards who vote for the Tories or Ukip are poor themselves.
Indeed universally, it seems that it does not matter to our ignorant and fearful electorate that those who deem themselves above the common man, who consider us low born as nothing but 'Plebs', vermin to be despised and disposed of, are the enemy within; for as Voltaire said "It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere".
The Truth is, that after 40 years of dumbing down under the hegemony a corporate fascist elite the only consideration which now seems to permeate the Twittersphere and other Social Media Sites, and in message forums across the land and within all NewsMedia sites is - 'DO YOU HATE SOMEBODY? IF SO - VOTE FOR US, WE PROMISE TO FEED YOUR PREJUDICE'.
But it should not have been this way Ladies & Gentlemen, this upcoming Election should have been about 'Hope' not hate.
That is the election which a socially conscious Labour should have started fighting 2 years ago. They had all the evidence, they knew the damage being done to their fellow countrymen, they had all the data that they ever needed to set themselves on the path to the greatest landslide in electoral history. And all they needed to do was base their whole election on optimism, an election based upon hard evidence, an election of hope and promise for a better future, an election based upon 'Fellowship'.
That is the election which Labour should have fought Ladies & Gentlemen. They could and should have offered the Nation something to counter the argument of the Conservative neo-liberal policy of 'Hate, Divide, and Despair', but they didn't.
Instead they have constantly offered us something which looks and smells nothing so much as a watered down version of the Tories ideology of 'Panem et Circenses. Divide et Impera'.
Thus it is that the Neo-Liberal Blairite fifth columnists [what else could you call them if not such] have usurped the Labour Party and transplanted in its place just another version of Conservatism.
But make no mistake, this happened not just because of the Tories powerful Media Moguls who have for 5 years constantly bombarded the population of Great Britain with the putrid Conservative ideology of 'Hate the Other', but also because of the Lefts Stupidity and their utter Cowardice.
They [Labour] offered 'no challenge to Tory Dogma whatsoever'. And as my old Sergeant Major used to tell me "A battle uncontested is an automatic win for the enemy. You stand, you fight, and if needs must, you die".
This is why I cannot ever lay claim to being a 'Lefty', they seem so utterly divided and incapable of fight. Instead its 'bollocks bollocks bollocks and more bollocks' and not an ounce of unified fight.
In truth Labour have fallen into disarray, they are a rambling mix of dysfunctional dogmas with no principles based on morality that you or I can latch on to with any surety of conviction.
With the Tories we all know what they are about, they are for the rich and fuck everybody else... They are openly despiteful of the poor. They brag about their hate for the common man. And yet, despite their vicious and malicious hatred of the ordinary man and woman on the street, these criminals, at least on the face of things, seem united; and whether or not you agree with them that is a terribly powerful force.
Unity is something the electorate desire, and woe betide the Political Party which does not grasp this reality of Electoral Cowardice. HOW ELSE DO YOU THINK THE FUCKING THIRD REICH HAPPENED?
If Labour do not win the next Election there is a hard truth to be faced. And it is not that the Nation is populated by Right Wing Extremists ready to march into Russia waving a swastika 'seig heiling' to the sound of Das Fatherland screaming about white supremacy. But rather that the population is so gutless and so easily manipulated by the rights wings 'media propagandists' that they would rather vote for 'hate and slavery' than love and uncertainty.
That is the lesson that the Death of the Weimar Republic hands down to us... that "It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere".
If Labour lose they are done with. If they fail to win this Election then as a Political entity they are a spent force and they must be abandoned and replaced forever by a New Political Party based on Morality, Science, Evidence, Compassion, and Social Justice.
Ladies & Gentlemen I fought for this country, I risked everything for this nation and its people more times than I can honestly remember, but I was not alone. I am not special, I was but one of thousands who endured the rigours of War; Black lad, White lads, Yellow lads, Good lads. And we did it because we believed in Justice, and that innate British sense of 'fair play', but I suspect those days are gone and I must perhaps learn to accept that.
Thus it is that I have reluctantly come to believe that the upcoming General Election will be decided by the triumvirate emotions of *Fear, Prejudice, and Hate* and that my beloved country has fallen into cowardly perfidy...
I hope sincerely - with all my Heart - that on the seventh day of May, 2015, that I am proved wrong, and that the choice of my youth, of Patriotism over neo-liberal Thatcherism and greed will not prove to have been in vain?

As an extension of China's $16 billion plan to combat air pollution in its cities, today the China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced an ambitious plan to export the nation's emissions to Mars. China is currently the world's largest producer of greenhouse gases – its annual emissions total 8.9 billion tons. The unprecedented plan would greatly reduce emissions on Earth while warming the climate on Mars, causing the planet's polar ice caps to melt and eventually creating an atmosphere capable of sustaining life.
Throughout the 20th century, companies around the world outsourced their manufacturing operations to China in search of cheaper labor – and although the increase in production drove the nation's economy, it wrecked havoc on its environment. China's new plan marks a pivotal shift in its environmental agenda – starting in 2015, industrial greenhouse gases will be collected and exported to Mars, where they could actually do good by helping to terraform the planet.
Mars holds vast reserves of water, which are currently frozen due to the planet's cold surface temperature and distance from the sun. Scientists believe that the introduction of additional greenhouse gases could warm the planet, resulting in the release of water and frozen CO2 reserves and the formation of an atmosphere with a pressure comparable to that of Mount Everest. The soil and atmosphere of mars already contain many of the elements needed for life – the addition of liquid water and an earth-like atmosphere could theoretically enable humans to colonize the planet.
The China National Space Administration plans to transport greenhouse gases to Mars using solar sails – small, lightweight crafts that can travel extreme distances using only the power of the sun. The CNSA is also developing plans for martian factory bases that would generate additional greenhouse gasses while 3D printing tools and building materials from the planet's soil. In keeping with China's copycat architecture trend, these buildings would be modeled after some of the world's most famous factories and coal plants – including London's Battersea Power Station and Foxconn's HQ.
Speaking about the development, a CNSA representative said: "China is focused on the future, and the Red Planet is a natural next step for the People's Republic of China. By turning China's environmental problems into an opportunity for future development, we will secure a home for our expanding population in the far reaches of the Solar System."

Not trying to be a smartass but is this the new Windows 10 Messaging app? All it does is allow you to type a message which can go nowhere but end up as a draft.
The most confusing app ever. One day it worked very efficiently between my Windows devices, the next it quick. Then Skype somehow come aboard and still to this day no sign of a working Messaging app.
Everything else Windows 10 is near perfect.
I was a big fan of the Messaging app for the short time it worked...and worked well, syncing between all my devices.
Would love to see it back.

After a short celebration of their victory at H'ratth, four Jedi remain alive. Vosra, Jinn, and pet track down the refugees and kill the two they find. Jerrec catches up with the others in Holocron lore and learns the mysterious technique to pull a language out of someone's mind from Revan. Days pass, and eventually CH4 and Varu arrive on H'ratth. CH4 checks the temple's terminals and discovers a distress beacon, turning it into a warning message, as well as program activity in the temple's archives. All of the archives have been wiped except for one file with coordinates and an emergency message. They fly to the asteroid the coordinates point to and, not trusting it, fire a torpedo that triggers the trapped piece of rock to detonate, entirely avoiding a trapped prison the DM set up.
They turn their eyes to the Hutt moon Nar Shaddaa to pull a heist. Varu arrives in full celebrity fashion, buying a limousine barge (buying, not renting) with a hover couch for her pleasure while doing everything she can to appear as a high roller. The plan is that Varu will get a tour of a casino after showing interest in investing, and finding the security lacking, ask that her own security team do an inspection. CH4 and Vosra, under the guise of security analysts company "Robot & Son", do an inspection to gain admin access to the casino's camera feeds and grab several loops to use in place of live recordings. While Varu and Jinn stage a distraction, where Varu sobs and acts dramatic. A small use of the Force starts a fight that ends in security dragging away the only Neti in the galactic region and his unfortunate friends for a small bribe from Varu. Meanwhile, Vosra and Jerrec disguise as casino security to guard the vault. Jerrec's phase ability allows him to get into the vault and swap out the real credit chips with empty ones, and after meditating to get his force power back, phases through again just in time. The guards show up, see nothing wrong, and transport the emptied credit chips away and the whole gang runs off with a share of a certain Hutt's 45,000.

McCain Clarifies His Christianity September 30, 2007Posted by daveintexas in Politics.

I'm a Baptist. If I wasn't running for president I'd get baptized.
Because we'd all get a pass on that one if we were doing something really important.

Sicherheit schaffen – Swiss Political Party Proposes Tougher Deportation Policy September 1, 2007Posted by daveintexas in Current Events, Politics.
8 comments
"For more security". The Swiss Peoples Party (their largest political party) is drawing fire for evoking Nazi-like and Stalinist "purges" for their recommendation that immigrants convicted of crimes should be deported along with their families.
One of the most contentious subjects is a poster of the program, which depicts three white sheep kicking out a black sheep. They are attempting to collect the 100,000 signatures necessary to force a referendum.
Well, yeah, I can see how some people would interpret that poster with a double meaning. But listen to how much sense they're making.
"We believe that parents are responsible for bringing up their children. If they can't do it properly, they will have to bear the consequences," Ueli Maurer, president of the People's Party, told The Associated Press.
Shut. Up. They are?
He explained that his party has long campaigned to make deportation compulsory for convicted immigrants rather than an optional and rarely applied punishment.
The party claims foreigners — who make up about 20 percent of the population — are four times more likely to commit crimes than Swiss nationals.
I'll be interesting to see if they can force a vote, and even more interesting to see how the vote goes.
I think I know how.
John McCain: Life isn't fair August 17, 2007Posted by daveintexas in Current Events, Politics.
8 comments
McCain feeds media spin that his campaign faltered because of his support for Bush's Iraq strategy.
Nothing to do with that immigration reform thingy that almost 70% of the country had some heartburn with.
"It's entertaining, in that I was the greatest critic of the initial four years, three and a half years," McCain said. "I came back from my first trip to Iraq and said, 'This is going to fail. We've got to change the strategy' to the one we're using now. But life isn't fair."
Sometimes life is fair Senator. Sometimes.
UPDATE: Caught this article this morning, McCain on Wednesday admitting that in addition to the public perception on Iraq, the immigration issue might also have cost him some support. Still, he's willing to consider other points of view.
"Look, I've got to do what I know is right for this country. These issues I have to take head-on," he said
Steady. Courage.
AP declares "Pentagon destroying millions in useable equipment" July 23, 2007Posted by daveintexas in Current Events, Politics.
add a comment
Suckers take bait and cry foul.
The article mushes together two claims and attempts to back it up with quotes from surplus dealers who buy up used and or surplus military gear, often selling it back to the DoD if and when it's needed again.
This sounds outrageous. It's not. The DoD is merely outsourcing logistics and warehousing of still-useful equipment to a more cost-effective provider. Lower cost providers. Contractors with clearances and warehouses and trucks, and good inventory systems.
At the heart of this "controversy" is "what should be destroyed, because it is sensitive, and what should be outsourced and stored for possible re-use"?

Over 1100 state vehicles at a cost of $17 million, and they're bigger polluters than the average taxpayer car.
They are E-85 flexible fuel vehicles, desgned to burn standard fuels, but when using E-85 ethanol, they burn much cleaner. So why aren't they?
Because they can't find enough E-85*. And as a result they are dumping even more pollutants into the air.
Retailers can't find enough reasons to make the switch, and face an awful lot of obstacles.
Chief among these are the cost of equipment conversions, the relatively low level of consumer demand, the price relationship to gasoline, and the lack of any dispensers certified to sell the product. Such challenges must be acknowedged by government policy makers before implementing new programs.
So, in layman's terms, it costs too much to put in E-85 systems, nobody wants to buy it, and it costs more than gasoline.
What could possibly go wrong?
Even under optimum circumstances, shipping the ethanol to California (where the refineries are) blanks the benefits.
Produced largely from corn grown in the Midwest, ethanol is transported to California on tankers or diesel-powered trains. The newspaper write that this process alone nearly cancels the fuel's clean-air benefits in California.
S. David Freeman, a former energy advisor to President Jimmy Carter, blames the weak willed politicians for not following through. Presumably they should have converted the trains as well.
* There are two types of ethanol blends, E-10 and E-85, the number representing the percentage of ethanol in the blend. E-85 engines are specifically engineered for that blend, E-10 can be used in any vehicle.

Stuff William Jefferson said June 4, 2007Posted by daveintexas in Current Events, Politics.

Remember the cash?
Almost two years ago, in August 2005, investigators raided Jefferson's home in Louisiana and found $90,000 in cash stuffed into a box in his freezer.
Remember the convictions?
Two of Jefferson's associates have already struck plea bargains with prosecutors and have been sentenced.
Remember the controversial raid of his congressional office?
In May 2006, the FBI raided Jefferson's congressional office, the first such raid on a sitting congressman's Capitol office. That move sparked a constitutional debate over whether the executive branch stepped over its boundary.
Culture of corruption.

Sheehan's sister thinks Cindy would not be too receptive to an offer from them.
It'll be a cold day in hell before she sells it to them," her sister, Dede Miller, told The Associated Press. "She'll sell it to them for $5 million."
Robert Dixon, executive director of Sacramento Calif.-based Move America Forward, says they would use the land to erect a monument in support of the troops.
Sheehan has previously said she plans to start the bidding at $80,000 on Ebay. She bought it last year for $52,500. Sheehan's group says they have made many improvements to the land, including gravel roads, clearing brush, planting gardens, burying accounting records and installing "relaxing, beautiful wind-chimes" everywhere the chill wind that crushes dissent is blowing.
In Crawford, that's pretty much everywhere.

Drinking Field Trip
"You've got to try the Rombauer Cab,"he said, "It's really good." Based on looks alone, he would never be mistaken for a wine aficionado - protein shakes, sure. But wine? He was telling me about a tap wine (vini alla Spina) bar in Wauwatosa that he and his fiancee went to the night before in such glowing terms that when I learned the venue was having an upcoming tasting event, I slipped her the details.
If you drink with me, you already know I am not a wine drinker. I don't even really like beer. I like spirit. Wine and Beer don't go through the distillation process, so they seem somehow undercooked to me. I've lately decided to try to branch out a little. I work in a brewhaus so I'm trying every beer that comes my way and I am learning. For example I know I like an Imperial Pale Ale more than an India Pale Ale, and a Porter more than an Amber. Wine seems no less complex, no more accessible. Lucky for me, so many people know so much more than me that knowledge comes from all over. Case in point: the musclebound oenophile who directed me to Wisconsin's vini alla spina bar: the Ruby Tap.
At the Ruby Tap, you choose from 70 bottles for home use or pay for corkage and enjoy the bottle in their open-concept, cozy space. The magic of the spot, though, is the wall of wine. The family that owns the Ruby tap has had a wine-on-tap system installed that lets you try 1, 1.5, 3 or 6 ounces of 32 different wines.
Traditional wine bars are nothing new, but they do have their limits. They are not the ideal distribution medium for wine. Wine routinely goes bad if it's sold by the glass, and if it's not it can be a crapshoot for the guest. You may not care for the wine, but you are now stuck with the bottle. The system at Ruby Tap is a problem-solver for many of the traditional problems.
There are other benefits to this system. You know I like a small environmental footprint and it can hardly get smaller than this (unless your family owns a vineyard, and if it does then call me!). Wines on tap are stored in refillable stainless kegs. The average bottle holds 4 glasses; the average keg holds 130. Fewer glass bottles cuts the weight of the wine being shipped, less fuel gets burned and the world stays cleaner.
The issue of freshness also is improved by a wine-on-tap system. The wine gets pushed out of the keg by nitrogen or argon, which provides a blanket against oxidation.
The Ruby Tap is more than just self-serve wine in a casual atmosphere. Find Wisconsin beers and cheeses, desserts and charcuterie. It is a warm, friendly little bar with nightly specials and the two sisters you may already have met will soon be three. The night I popped in, the Ruby Tap family was hosting a wine tasting including cheese pairing. I'd like to give a special shout out to the excellent hospitality, the Carr Valley bleu cheese... and the Rombauer cabernet.

Change of venue motion filed in Zahra Baker case:
Speaking of the Sheen-Cow her lawyer has filed for a change of venue for her trial in the murder of Zahra Baker.
Her lawyer says that the cow "cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial" in Catawba County and that coverage in area newspapers and comments on the web that "reveal a deep prejudice against" Elisa Baker.
Normally I would say that since this case has garnered international attention that moving the trial would not be a winning strategy. Jose Baez and the Casey Anthony trial proved that it might and I really hope this doesn't go this way.
Then again the Sheen-Cow isn't even remotely attractive so I doubt she would get the sympathy that some gave Casey Anthony.

Page 4 of 6Second success story: Canada resident Indian got married with Mumbai lady.
It was my first ever occasion to meet a group of HIV +ve persons after the launching of the website. I used to be in touch with all of them through phone, mail or chat. Due to some official work I was at Mumbai and just gave a friendly call to some of the registered persons there. One of my registered friends requested me to arrange meeting with one registered lady from Mumbai. I kindly requested her to attend the meeting. I called other three persons also to join the small get together. The man of 34 was having a girl child and was divorced. The lady was also widowed. Sadly, she was also cheated by her husband and got the painful gift of the virus from him. In spite of knowing that the man has married her knowing his +ve status before marriage and brought life-time pains to her, she stayed with him till his last breath. After coming out of the shock, as per the suggestions of her doctor to get remarried, she registered on positivesaathi. She also joined our get together of 5 persons in Mumbai. The man was interested in her but she was having earlier communication with another man from Canada. He was basically from India from a neighboring state of Maharashtra. She told me that she has already fixed her future with that person. Two months later I got the warm invitation from the couple to attend their marriage. Since it was almost 1000 km from my place, I was unable to attend their marriage. It was the happiest day of the year for me. The words I received from the couple were more than any award on this earth. I felt like my kids have got married. They use to call me frequently. God bless them.
Success in Andhra Pradesh.
Just like the regular routine, we were replying the mails of the registered persons. While registering, many persons give their address, mail id and phone no. To maintain the confidentiality, we never display these personal details on the site. But if someone gets no reply from the websites send-receive interest feature, he/she calls us or sends us mail requesting these persons communication details of that specific profile. We just replied one mail from Andhra Pradesh giving some details of ladies from there. When we received his reply mail, we were surprised to discover another success story. The man told us that he contacted one lady and found that she has already found life partner through positivesaathi and married couple of months before. Positivesaathi has no doubt created a platform for match making. It is successful to bring the +ve persons on this platform. We are trying to build the confidence among our positive brothers/ sisters. Still most of the persons try to hide their status with identity and that might be the reason that we are not getting the proper feedback of all the developments in match making through the site. Still we were happy to know that we were successful to bring the joy and happiness in the life of them. May god bring all the joys in their life.

Oh how I do love the snow and my kids love to play in it and make a snowy mess :) but we are super ready for the Spring..All the Christmas decor is down and I'm working on the kid's bedrooms for the Spring. I went on a shopping adventure at Hobby Lobby and come across these cute prepainted twig wreaths and had to have them so I bought two (large and smaller one), I hot glued the smaller wreath onto the larger wreath. I already had the D intial and some pink ribbon to place the D on the smaller wreath. I also purchased pink burlap ribbon and thats what I used for the bow (it was on sale) even better :)))!!!!

Dickens of a Christmas, which began more than 26 years ago as a way to encourage holiday shopping downtown, has are a holiday festival that spans three weekends in December. The event begins Friday, December 3, 2010, and continues on Friday, December 10, and Friday, December 17 from around 6-10 p.m. each evening.

Well, these questions some of the concerns that excellent artwork i just face in struggle for weight-loss. Losing weight is now becoming a fad that some consumers are going crazy over about. It has been like a do or die phenomenon. Although for some individuals it is usually an "good if you're do, and good if you don't" concern.

You, like trillions of folks around the world, have dreams. You have wants, and requirements. However, as soon as you take action in the direction of us aspirations, usually are very well merely fantasies, like the fairy tales you read a little kid. However, when things get tough and challenging, quitting is often an simple way out.
"A Good Man is challenging to Find" by Flannery O'Connor. It makes sense a family wrapped regarding own self interest when their car tumbles in the ditch and leaves them at risk to roving bandits. When their lives have stake, as well as every family member is led one-by-one in the woods for execution, the grandmother throws herself at the bandit questioning his values. Does her questioning lead him to be rethink his murderous measures? I don't want supply away the ending.
I think we should pay special attention towards the age from the child once they choose in order to watch. You will cartoons such as Winnie the Pooh which be watched and understand by kids of all age range. But there are those cartoons whose messages is not to be understood by children younger than five, seven or twelve lots of. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles properly loved by most kids of all ages, but a boy of a couple of years does not see their battle to preserve globe from destruction and evil, or would they understand such a type of contradiction. What they would only see and understand always be the karate shoes. The solution for this could be a stern reminder at the beginning of each cartoon stating the age of the intended viewers.

Whenever I throw a party, I have this slight phobia that there won't be enough food for my guests. A cheese platter is the perfect solution. Anytime I'm entertaining, I almost always put a platter out, whether its a full and large set like the one here or just to supplement other starters. With a beautiful cheese platter to graze on, none of your guests will go home hungry!
I typically pick out 3 or 4 different cheeses and supplement with nuts, cured meats, preserves and olives. The key is picking out a range of cheese so that you have something that suits everyone's palate, so serving a blue, a soft, a hard and an aged covers most everyone's preferences.
A good sharp white cheddar is always popular. I don't like the look of pre-sliced cheese (especially when it has been sitting around), so instead I just take a pairing knife and break off large chunks.
I like to include a small wedge of blue, like Cashel Blue. Laid on its side is best for serving since its a little creamy and crumbly.
And you can never go wrong with a good triple cream. Cowgirl Creamery's Red Hawk is incredible and a real crowd pleaser.
Finally, a simple manchego is the perfect firm cheese especially if you have a fruit preserve to go with it.
I recently made a lot of kumquat jam so I included a small jar on the platter, which went wonderfully with the white cheddar. Of course something like quince paste is a classic pairing with cheese.
[linktopost slug="kumquat-jam"]
I always supplement with cured meats like prosciutto and sweet salami.
One of my favorite nuts is the marcona almond. If you've never had them, they're like a richer version of a regular almond without the skin. You can add more flavor by roasting them lightly with extra origin olive oil and rosemary, but they're delicious as is.
And no cheese patter at my party is complete without a bowl of olives. It is super simple to marinate your own with some lemon zest, coriander and bay leaves, and the best part is you can do this the day before. My favorites are Lucques, Nicoise, and Castelvetrano, but you can put together whatever combination you like. The key is to use unpitted olives, their flavor and texture is far superior to pitted olives.
[linktopost slug=marinated-olives]
When arranging your platter try to play with different heights and keep the arrangement compact. I usually use a large slate cheese board or a large wood cutting board and place large chunks of cheese in different corners, with the tallest cheese on the edge so it's easier to slice. Then, I fill in with small bowls of nuts, olives and fruit preserve (recipes to follow later this week). And finally, I fill in any free space with cured meats. I love this style of presentation and so will your guests!
