The news piece 'Drowning By Numbers, Or The Non-Reproduction Of New Orleans' by Benedict Seymour (February, 2006) is an on-your-face report on the re-construction of New Orleans sans the black working class. Victimising the black working class through destruction of their housing and social networks, transfer of public assets into private ownership and gentrification of the already gentrified USA, had already set the ground for such blatant violation of human rights and dignity. What is witnessed in the wake of reconstruction post-Katrina, is only a newer version of 'primitive accumulation', with the state backing the transfer of property into private hands, creating a new class of proletariat workers divorced from their means of social reproduction. This is accompanied by an attack on the price of the labour-power, thus depriving the workers of their former means of subsistence and raising the real cost of living. Legal obstacles like petty but effective restriction (not allowing them to vote if one has lost his/her ID during the hurricane) or technical omissions, have been put to use to prevent the blacks from reconstructing their lives, post-Katrina. Every effort is being made on the part of the state to prevent the return of the black working class neighbourhoods to their society. Lowering of wages followed the eviction of the black working class from New Orleans that ensured the minimum return of these evicted people to their older settlements. Even if they did, they returned to a much worse situation of low wages, racism and hyper-exploitation. These returnees are used as low wage immigrant labours. Using low-or-no wage immigrant labour ensures absolute surplus value for their capitalist employers. This trend is the latest to be seen in the capitalist modus operandi, but in no way an exceptional scenario. Devalorisation of labour is not a new phenomenon. But earlier it was accompanied by improved standard of living, shorter workday, new infrastructure and institutions for the reproduction of labour-power like housing, hospitals, schools. The devalorisation process in New Orleans in the wake of the disaster was followed by depreciation of labour-power and the non-replacement of the means of social production. This version of primitive accumulation is the bitter culmination of US capital's long-term strategy of devalorisation. The devastation of New Orleans is clearly a nail in the coffin of the myth of America's post-industrial renaissance. Truly then, the relief process in New Orleans is being called the 'second hurricane'

Islamabad: Pakistan`s Parliament on Thursday asked its Standing Committee on Human Rights to probe reports of the alleged rape of a six-year-old girl from the minority Hindu community.
The National Assembly or lower house of parliament referred the matter to the panel after it was raised by ruling Pakistan Peoples Party lawmaker Nawab Yousuf Talpur.
Talpur, who represents the Mirpurkhas area of Sindh province in parliament, said Vajanti, a six-year Hindu girl, had allegedly been raped and that her family was being implicated in false cases.
Chief Whip Syed Khurshid Shah, who is also the Religious Affairs Minister, informed the House that he had taken up the matter with the Sindh Police chief and asked him to investigate the incident.
Shah suggested the Speaker of the National Assembly should refer the matter to Standing Committee on Human Rights for an investigation.
Deputy Speaker Faisal Karim Kundi, who was conducting the proceedings, referred the matter to the panel and asked its chairman, Riaz Fatyana, to submit a report at the earliest.
No further details about the alleged rape could be immediately ascertained.
There have been several reports of harassment and kidnapping of members of the minority Hindu community in Sindh and Balochistan provinces this year.
Reports have said that dozens of Hindu families had stayed on in India after travelling to the neighbouring country for pilgrimages.

If it was only to take over a mere East Arrival Cave and kill a bunch of worthless pawns—he wasn't the least bit interested. That wouldn't affect Yang Qing in any way, and he wouldn't be able to seize East Arrival Cave for himself. He had no need to do something so tedious, without any returns.
Mei Yu replied, "Not long ago, Yang Qing reorganised the troops of both Manors, and it just so happens that a former trusted aide of mine, was assigned to Mount Calming Sea. He finds his situation in Mount Calming Sea rather dissatisfying, and I have long since made contact with him to establish a channel of information. There is definitely no mistaking it."
Liu Jingtian was inclined to agree, but after a moment, he hesitated before adding, "I have heard that the East Arrival Cave Master possesses unfaltering valor. Even with the encirclement of Zhang Decheng's two hundred strong army, he managed to carve a bloody path in and out—and no one was able to stop him. Since Qin Weiwei has gone to East Arrival Cave, I fear that it will be no easy task to make our move! Even if we hurried there, we would still only reach the following day. By then, there's still a question of whether or not Qin Weiwei is still there!"
Shaking his head, Mei Yu replied, "The rumors are slightly exaggerated. Your subordinate saw it with his own eyes. While it is true that this person won't be easy to handle, with his full body set of transcendent artifacts, the most he could do was run away. If we used brute force, as long as he doesn't escape, even I alone will be enough to take his head. He could barely face off against those White Lotus Cultivators—against a Blue Lotus Cultivator, he will have no chance. Manor Head only needs to deploy men from a few Caves, along with one or two Blue Lotus experts for everything to fall into place. Even if that East Arrival Cave Master manages to escape, it will be fine so long as Qin Weiwei remains behind! In the unlikely event that we fail—without any evidence—what could Yang Qing possibly do even if he knows we are the perpetrators? Would Yang Qing be so bold as to assault Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor again? Even the Suppressing Second Hall Master won't be able to save face if Yang Qing repeatedly trifles with Suppressing Third Hall!
Liu Jingtian nodded with a sneer, thinking back to how Yang Qing had led a large army over and made a bloody mess of things. However, Liu Jingtian didn't have the resolve to do the same—to charge towards South Edict Manor, or Ever Peace Manor; and look for Yang Qing to get his revenge. The main reason, was that he had no idea how to settle the trouble that would brew between the two Manors after the deed—just like Yang Qing had done. He couldn't afford to bear that responsibility.
This was also why, he hadn't been able to find a chance to take his revenge against Yang Qing all this while. If only Yang Qing dared to bring his men over once more, that would have be the easiest solution.
If he could properly settle this matter, he could show the Hall Master that he wasn't useless.
As soon as he gathered his thoughts, Liu Jingtian suddenly slammed his palm and declared, "Very well! I will order Mount Returning Loyalty's Mountain Chieftain Su Biao to personally lead a few Caves' troops forward. We shall teach Yang Qing a lesson tonight. Let him understand the consequences of angering me!"
It would be a breeze; he simply had to slip in and out a short skip away, and the task would be done. Once Qin Weiwei left East Arrival Cave, it would be difficult to find another opportunity. He took action as soon as he said he would—going back to quickly scribble down detailed instructions into a jade archive. Imbuing it with his transcendence seal, he gave it to his handmaiden to send out.
One after another, spirit eagles swiftly flew off into the night sky.
In the meantime, Liu Jingtian himself had donned his armor, and mounted his dragon steed. He quickly lead his men over to the frontlines, where the battle would soon break out. The troops of his subordinates were also gathering there.
He wasn't trying to go to war with Yang Qing—but he wanted to be ready. In case Yang Qing lost his temper, he would be prepared and avoid being caught off guard on the off-chance that it did happen...
Under the night sky, a spirit eagle descended onto Mount Returning Loyalty. A short moment later, an aerie of spirit eagles flew off in different directions, calling the various troops of Mount Returning Loyalty's Caves to arms.
With a cultivation at Blue Lotus Second Grade, the Mountain Chieftain of Mount Returning Loyalty, Su Biao, led his men straight in the direction of the East Arrival Cave border.
He continued to gather his men from the various Caves along the way. By the time he and his troops reached the boundary before South Edict Manor, he had already assembled three Caves worth of men. Together with his own direct subordinates, he had amassed a force of nearly fifty men.
As a precautionary measure, Su Biao continued to wait patiently.
He continued to wait until all the troops from the ten Caves had assembled; then, ordering two Caves to stay behind for backup, he lead over a hundred men with him in a relentless charge towards East Arrival Cave….
Just then, the faint light of dawn was beginning to touch the sky.
Miao Yi was still unaware that trouble was brewing. He was still cooped up in his own shack cultivating cross-legged.
Whenever he had time, he would use it on cultivation.
As they say, 'Better safe than sorry'. Ever since the Great Cave Master Miao caused a ruckus at Changfeng Cave, he was always worried that Xiong Xiao would come to take revenge. As such, out of the twenty or so cultivators in East Arrival Cave, he sent eight out to take turns keeping guard over the perimeter. They rotated every day as a precaution against an ambush.
As a result, he was prepared—not for Xiong Xiao, but another group instead.
In the boughs of a great ancient tree within the gloomy mountain forest, a hidden guard of East Arrival Cave was sitting in cross-legged cultivation. From the surrounding silence, he suddenly picked up the sound of galloping hooves coming from afar—he quickly opened his eyes, and stood up.
The vision of a normal human couldn't possibly make anything out at this time of the day. He hastily invoked his arts, and utilized his transcendence vision to investigate—only to find a large army in front of him, charging right in his direction.
The strange thing was—they all had masks on, making it hard to make out their identities.
He was one of the members who had used a mask, and caused a ruckus in Changfeng Cave, so he naturally had some experience in the matter. Once he saw this scene before him, he knew the situation didn't look good. He hastily jumped down—landing on his dragon steed at the base of the tree, and quickly began riding back.
He rushed across mountains and ridges as he returned to East Arrival Cave. "AOOOOOO…", he invoked his arts and shouted while he was still a distance away to warn the others. His sharp wails echoed from afar.
Not only did the then-cultivating Miao Yi quickly open his eyes, and rush out to mount his steed; the cultivators in the nearby wooden shacks also raced out to their horses. Everyone shouted to warn the guards stationed around the perimeter, to quickly return and assemble.
Their party quickly urged their dragon steeds towards the opposite end, where the alarm was sounding out from. As he rushed past Qian'Er and Xue'Er, Miao Yi swept the two of them onto his dragon steed, and charged on.
Leading the charge, Mount Returning Loyalty's Mountain Chieftain Su Biao knew that something was amiss the moment he heard the wail—they had already been discovered! He swung his hand forward, and urged the troops behind him to pick up the pace.
When the company of men reached East Arrival Cave, they were all stupefied. They were at a loss on how to react after seeing East Arrival Cave in such a tragic state.
In a distant mountain, after finally assembling his scattered subordinates, Miao Yi watched on with his transcendent vision. He couldn't help scoff, "Masked men again? They truly have a guilty conscience! It seems Xiong Xiao is really determined to succeed this time, to have sent so many men against me!"
They had long ago decided on their contingency plan. If a situation came up, they were to first retreat temporarily. Once everyone was assembled, and if there was still time, they could then observe the situation.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er were shifted onto Yan Xiu's mount. Then, Miao Yi spread his arms out —clouds of silver mist burst out from his storage ring. Both man and steed were instantly covered in formidable battle armor—with the Inversed-Scales Spear already in his hands. Only the original helmet had been destroyed by Zhang Decheng.
Qian'er and Xue'Er were quite nervous. It was obvious that East Arrival Cave had met with trouble yet again. Only then, did they realize that the world of 'Immortals' was far from being as lavish as they had assumed. When they were in East Arrival City, they thought that they could enjoy the fortune of Immortals once they were on the other side. They never expected that they would be at risk of dying so often.
However, it was still a first for them both to see Miao Yi don such a formidable set of battlearmor—they were both shocked; a sense of wonderment flashing across their eyes.
Miao Yi turned back and instructed Yan Xiu, "Bring the both of them away and hide. Once I have dealt with these mongrels, I will look for you all."
Yan Xiu nodded, and swiftly turned his dragon steed around to bring the two little ladies away.
They had already agreed on this beforehand—if anything were to happen, he was to first bring the two handmaidens off to the pier to hide.
When dragon roars blasted out from behind them, Qian'Er and Xue'Er turned their heads back to look—only to see the Cave Master thrusting his spear forward as he grandly shouted, "East Arrival Cave Master is here!"
The two young maidens were immediately unafraid. They realized that the Cave Master would always be magnificent, and there was nothing that the Cave Master could not handle.
Su Biao and his men were already looking in their direction. He motioned with his hand, and the forces behind him immediately followed along with his charge.
In contrast, the men behind Miao Yi were very calm. They were well aware of the situation—amongst Xiong Xiao and his subordinates, there was not a single Blue Lotus expert. While the men on their side were few in numbers, they were not a force that could be defeated by sheer numbers alone.
As he watched the enemy forces charge up the snowy slope, Miao Yi raised his spear and nonchalantly mentioned, "Those with notable accomplishments—this Cave Master will not be stingy with the rewards. Now, go and kill!"
From his sides, Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan immediately led the assault in a zealous downwards charge. Soon, their squad of twenty clashed with the larger force charging up the snowy slope.
Charcoal was excitedly kicking around with its hooves a little, yet it could do nothing with Miao Yi restraining it. He held onto his spear, and stayed put—observing the battle.
After spending so much of his resources to feed so many men, it wasn't possible for him to personally take the lead every single time there was a problem. When it was time for the subordinates to step up and test the waters, then they should step up. If anything went wrong, he would have ample time to make preparations. Otherwise, what was the point in feeding so many men?
Since it wasn't possible to compete with the enemy in numbers, the twenty man squad simply lined up in a wedge-shaped formation and charged straight in.
From behind his vanguard on the lower end of the slope, Su Biao swept his gaze across the men charging forth from the opposing side, and immediately realized that something was off—he was shocked!
Didn't they say that there wouldn't be any Blue Lotus Grade opponents? Why were there two Blue Lotus cultivators with a single-petaled flower on their foreheads charging at the fore? There were even White Lotus Ninth Grades, and Eighth Grades behind them! It seemed like the lowest cultivation was the White Lotus Fifth Grade—there wasn't even a single Fourth Grade in sight!
Su Biao silently cursed, but it was already too late for second thoughts. Yuan Fang was already striking out with his spear.
'GONG!' Su Biao swiftly swung the long spear in his hand to parry the strike. He wasn't afraid, he was simply worried that there would be heavy casualties among his subordinates.
With this clash, Yuan Fang also realised that something was amiss. Didn't they say that there were no Blue Lotus level experts on Xiong Xiao's side?
Su Biao was masked, so Yuan Fang couldn't directly see the cultivation on the forehead of the other party. Both parties immediately engaged in a fierce battle. Waves of transcendence energy rolled out, creating clouds of snow and dirt, and making it difficult for normal people to get close.
Twenty against a hundred; the sounds of a fierce battle instantly thundered as they mercilessly butchered the men that were charging up the slope like lambs to the slaughter.
After a brief confrontation with Su Biao, Yuan Fang immediately realised that he was too much for him to handle. The other party's cultivation was higher than his, and he could only passively deflect his strikes. Realising that it would be difficult for him to last long, he immediately shouted, "Junior Brother. Aid me!"
After defeating multiple opponents like a hurricane, Lai Yuhan swiftly swept his spear across to clear the area. Then turned about, and made his way towards Yuan Fang to battle Su Biao in concert.
There were too many men amongst the enemy forces—a few managed to slip out and charged towards Miao Yi's position on the slope.
As he gazed down, Miao Yi also realised that something was wrong. Did Xiong Xiao have someone that would make it hard for two Blue Lotus First Grade experts to defeat together?
When the men charged at him, Miao Yi's body emitted a resplendent white glow. The Inversed-Scales Spear in his hand roared in lightning-fast strike—piercing to his left and right successively—striking his enemies off their dragon steeds in an instant.
Even then, there were still dozens behind the first group. Just then, Charcoal's body began shining with a bright light. He harrumphed excitedly and carried Miao Yi down the slope. Following suit, waves of cold light burst forth from Miao Yi's hand as the men in their path were continuously thrown from their steeds.
Miao Yi's target wasn't these men, but the one that Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan were currently engaged in battle with. Once he slipped past the foes charging at him, Charcoal immediately leapt upwards, carrying Miao Yi straight towards Su Biao.
Su Biao was taken aback, whereas Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan were ecstatic. The two of them threw caution to the wind, and began a relentless assault—trying their utmost to entangle him.

That's the good news.
However, the property owner, Old Standard Life Insurance Company, which is in receivership with the State of Idaho, has decided to pursue an appeal.
There's your bad news.
It may be about 18 months before a hearing actually takes place before the appellate court. Hopefully, that court will uphold the lower (Superior) court ruling, based on the very thorough examination of the facts in evidence that comprised that decision, including the casual violation of the city's own ordinances relating to the matter.
In the meantime, lead plaintiff, Hills for Everyone, which has led the lengthy battle against this poorly-conceived and potentially-destructive development, will be needing help raise funds to continue the fight. Stay tuned here or check out the HFE Web site here for more.
But, we will see when that time comes!

Thanksgiving. Not my favorite holiday but it's somewhere on the Top 5 list. I'm not much of the turkey person. I'd much rather prefer a Christmas ham.
Holidays aren't what they used to be. I remember when everyone (aunts, uncles and cousins) would head Up North the Grandma and Grandpa's for the important holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter with the occasional Fourth of July).
Everyone had their place at the table, even though I was usually stuck at the kiddie table with all the other cousins. Everyone slept in their designated beds. When there weren't enough beds to go around, we just slept 3 people to a queen size bed. Boy/girl parings meant blankets down the middle to make a dam so that there were no cootie's exchanged.
Those are the memories I remember most fondly. When your 10 years old and after Grandma tucks you in with 3 quilts and a comforter and we all say our bedtime prayers with holy water on our foreheads and all the adults go to sleep, that's when the giggles start.
Times have changed. My generation is older, although I'm still stuck at the kiddie table. Grandparents are gone and extended relative's families have gotten bigger with cousins getting married and having their own kids. People now have to celebrate with in-laws. With people doing their own thing, it's quieter. There's no more slumber parties and giggles at 1 am.
Tomorrow it'll only be my sister and I. We'll try to do something (that doesn't include watching football) but I only have a Jenni-O Turkey Roll. Remember me and that turkey.....there's no fricking way that I'm going to make a whole turkey. Otherwise, trying to stay traditional. Real mashed potatoes, not out of a box. Pull apart finger rolls, not loaf bread. Homemade sweet corn, not out of a can. Homemade pumpkin pie, not from Perkins.
Hopefully, Christmas will have more family!

We live in one of the best places on the planet for observing wildlife, and can see a great number of species during the day, including several carnivores. However, there are also quite a few nocturnal, shy animals that we very rarely catch a glimpse of. Luckily, we have the camera traps to help us out!
I am always excited to check the cameras in the morning, to see who came to visit us during the night. And I am always happy to see a civet! I have only seen two civets in "real time" - when we have been out driving on a night safari. But we see civets in the camera trap at least once a week, and we think we have two resident civets here.
The African civet (Civettictis civetta) is the largest member of the Family Viverridae living in Africa. This family includes the genets, civets, and linsangs. Nocturnal carnivores with fantastic spot and stripe patterns, African civets are present throughout most of sub-Saharan Africa. They are omnivorous and opportunistic - meaning they eat lots of different things, including fruit, insects, eggs, and small mammals. Little research has been done on wild civets, but you can learn more about them in the wonderful Mammals of Africa series edited by Jonathan Kingdon and colleagues.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Here is another view of the same civet:
Welcome to my new blog - Scientist on Safari!
And what a better way to start than with a video of one of the many night visitors we have at our home in Kenya? This is a spotted hyena, the most abundant large carnivore in the Masai Mara. In fact, the spotted hyena is the most abundant large carnivore in sub-Saharan Africa. The spotted hyena is one of my favorite animals, and I spent several years studying one particularly large clan of hyenas for my doctorate. However, this particular hyena is NOT a favorite. She destroyed my last camera trap! As you can see, she is investigating my new camera.... luckily, she didn't crush this one! I'll tell you more about camera traps and hyenas in future blog posts.
Contact me if you have a question or request!

Saturday, February 20, 2010
It seems when you are travelling people are always telling you how dangerous the next destination is, especially by the locals. The next city has more thieves, more street crime and more problems. Once you get there though you find it isn't so bad but then you need to heed warnings about the next city.
I arrived in Quito, Ecuador with my head full of warnings; it's very dangerous, don't stay in the old town. The guide book tells you the opposite though, the new town is very dangerous don't stay there. I was told not to sit in a park because I would get robbed and walk on the other side of the street, it's safer than this side. It's hard not to be intimated with all that doing summer salts in your head. I thought I would take a taxi to a hostel recommended in the guide book. I would be safe and meet other travellers. I found the hostel full in their overpriced $10 a night dorm beds and refused to pay $20 in Ecuador to sleep. I hiked back down the hill lugging my bags. I didn't see any backpackers' hostels only hotels and fast food chains. I stumbled upon a very nice hotel and immediately walked out as it looked a bit too posh for my budget, but the overly friendly owner spotted me and convinced me to come in. He told me he had rooms for $5, $10 and $20. I got him to show me the $5 room which was huge with a double bed, a desk and two arm chairs. I didn't say anything, didn't even give him a disapproving look when he said, fine alright $3 then. You couldn't get any better. I also liked the fact it had a bit of character with posters of classic cars on the walls which reminded me of my Dad.
I spent the evening roaming the bar district with a very odd Israeli who was also staying in the hotel. He had been living in Peru for years working as a security guard, he also told me of all the children he had in various countries with different women. You really meet the strangest people when you are travelling alone.
I was blown away by the beauty of Quito. The old town is preserved in its colonial splendour. A very photogenic city, I immediately fell in love. It seemed everything from breakfast to a beer to a haircut was $1.50. Although I do advise against the $1.50 hair cut.
I wandered the city on my own during the day and even took a bus to La Mitad del Mundo, where you can stand on the Equator. The whole time I didn't have any problems. The only time I felt unsafe was when people would come up to me and say don't be here, you will get robbed. I feel like you can get robbed anywhere in the world. You just need to use common sense, be aware of your surroundings, listen to that little voice inside your head saying, "Don't go there." Don't get me wrong I don't walk around in a rose tinted world thinking that nothing bad will happen to me. I have known many people to get robbed and I have had my fair share of knives and machetes in my face. There were a few instances when I told the little voice to feck off and leave me alone. Despite all that I would never advise someone not to go to a place that is beautiful with amazing people just because of one bad experience or bad press. Also females should not hold themselves back because of potential danger. Sometimes you are helped out more being a girl. I wanted to see a mirador point in Quito but when I was spotted by police officers walking on foot they offered me a ride in their cruiser because they said it was dangerous to walk. A free ride on a hot day, you really can't complain. There is something to say about girl power.

Well, it finally took Smalltalk to find out the answer to yesterday's question.
It's enough to simply raise the exception in the method that implements the web service API. ActionWebService takes care of converting this exception into a SOAP fault message.
Five lines of code in the VisualWorks workspace was all it took:
wsdlClient := WsdlClient new loadFrom: 'http://localhost:3000/hello/service.wsdl' asURI.
soapRequest := SoapRequest new.
soapRequest port: wsdlClient config anyPort.
soapRequest smalltalkEntity: (Message selector: #Hello ).
soapResponse := soapRequest value.
Executing this snippet produced a Smalltalk exception; step into the debugger, inspect the transportEntity object, and see the SOAP fault message in all its glory.

Vintage Sarasota High School Being Restored for New Art Museum
By Debra Robinson | December 4, 2014
In the 1920's, beautiful brick gothic buildings were being built all over the country to acommodate the need for larger high schools. Sarasota High School (SHS) was among them. The school I went to in Columbus, Ohio looks exactly like SHS. It's exciting to know that Sarasota will be restoring their 1926 classic! How perfect in our 'artful' town to create an Art Museum for all to enjoy! It's been almost a decade in fundraising but it's now in our near future.
I was lucky enough to see a small scale version during the planning process and I'll share a few pictures with you.
Also don't miss the fabulous article that was published Dec 3rd in our Sarasota Herald Tribune! Restore it and they will come!

Kenya has many nationwide parks, sport reserves, personal sanctuaries, conservancies and major cities which do appeal to vacationers and investors. Vetetan travelers know the way to graspfull advantage of last minute vacation deals. Earlier than you begin the river portion of your tour, you will travel by bus by means of the Painted Desert and the Native American Reservation on your approach to the Glen Canyon Dam. The 9th Circuit suspended Trump's travel ban earlier this month while litigation over the measure proceeds.
Traveling typically is a relatively adventurous thing to interact in and a travel blog can capture that adventure and allow the traveler to share it with others.

Magazine article National Defense
Securing Nuclear Weapons
Article excerpt
The threat of nuclear terrorism is urgent enough that the United States government ought to be taking immediate steps to address it, according to a report by Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
Matthew Bunn, an author of "Securing Nuclear Weapons and Materials: Seven Steps for Immediate Action," noted that, "In all the second guessing about what people knew and should have done before September 11, it became clear that most of the warnings were not specific enough to have prevented the action. Whereas in the nuclear era, we do have information, and we know where our vulnerabilities are.
"We know that Bin Laden sees the acquiring of weapons of mass destruction as a religious duty. There is court testimony from al Qaeda operatives about their efforts to buy highly enriched uranium, and there is evidence of other attempts to buy nuclear materials from the former Soviet Union.
"We have made communications intercepts, and we have seized from Al Qaeda safe houses, crude nuclear weapons designs. …

Laws that govern the ownership and tenancy of property
Stamp Duty refers to charges in the form of taxes levied by the State Government, similar to sales tax and income tax collected by government and must be paid in full and on time.
It is payable before execution of the document or on the day of execution of document or on the next working day of executing such a document. Execution of the document means putting signature on the instrument by the person's party to the document.
In the absence of any agreement to the contrary, the purchaser/transferee has to pay stamp duty or in case of exchange of properties, both parties have to bear stamp duty equally.
Except transfer by will all transfer documents including agreements to sell, conveyance deed, gift deed, mortgage deed, exchange deed, deed of partition, power of attorneys, leave and license agreement, agreement of tenancy and lease deeds have to be properly stamped before registration.
For any flat purchased in a co operative housing society on or after 10-12-1985, it is required to pay stamp duty on market value at the time of signing the agreement itself. However, prior to 10-12-1985, such transactions of agreement for sale required a stamp paper of Rs.5 only at the time of signing the agreement. However stamp duty on market value will have to pay on all such transactions at the time of conveyance of the property in favour of the society.
From 01/05/1994 stamp paper are to be purchased in the name of one of the parties to the document. If the stamp paper is not in the name of the parties and if it is used for preparing the agreement, it will be as if no stamp paper was used. However it will not make the agreement invalid and can be enforced in law if proper stamp duty is paid subsequently.

The lonely walk of the sage
Begins with a single word,
An endless quest to scribe
Spoken drops that fall unheard.
Planting wisdom's sacred seed
Harvesting for all,
Reaping what my hands have sewn
Scripting in my ethereal hall.
Hope's polished stone I cast
Into tomorrow's pool
Concentric rings of acumen
My gift unto the fool.
Love all that is unknown
Yet seldom kind returning,
Life's most precious sign remains
A single candle burning.
No mortal thoughts of self
Rest within my soul
Forgotten knowledge found
My forbidden tome!
All I breathe to live and learn
Not of corporeal hue,
Existing boldly betwixt
The celestial chosen few.
My sojourn upon this rock
A mere speck of sand,
Lost among the mighty dunes
Upon the temporal hand.

10 things Stephen King knows about the big-screen adaptation of The Stand
Stephen King's THE STAND is finally getting the big-screen treatment as you may already know.
THE STAND got the small screen treatment back in 1994 when it was presented as a mini-series on ABC. Gary Sinise and Molly Ringwald starred in the story that centered on, "After the world is decimated by a man-made plague, a battle of literally Biblical proportions ensues between the survivors."
When the news first debuted, it was mentioned that King would be involved in some capacity. Now the man himself is sharing what little he knows about the upcoming film adaptation of THE STAND. I agree with the first thing he says, not so sure about the Gyllenhaal suggestion though.
Check out the ten things he can tell us below.
1. No one will be able to top Gary Sinise, who played Stu Redman in the original ABC miniseries. He was perfect. When he says "You don't know nothing" to the soldiers who are putting him under mandatory quarantine, you believe his contempt completely. My runner-up pick would be Jake Gyllenhaal.
2. I didn't know anything about the remake until I read about it on the Internet.
3. You absolutely can't make it as a two-hour movie. If it was a trilogy of films…maybe.
4. Molly Ringwald won't be playing Fran Goldsmith this time.
5. Rutger Hauer is a little too old to play the Walkin' Dude, and that's too bad.
6. People who've seen Kubrick's The Shining dislike the miniseries I wrote (and my amigo Mick Garris directed) even if they haven't seen it. That's always annoyed me. But the wheel of karma turns! This time people will probably say, "The miniseries was lots better." BUT…
7. …historically speaking, movie studios blow the budget on things like this, so maybe it'll be fun to look at. The dough certainly isn't going to me, although if it is a trilogy, and if it makes a lot of money, I might be able to buy a chicken dinner at Popeye's. Great slaw!
8. Molly Ringwald will probably not play the Trashcan Man, either, but Billy Bob Thornton would be cool. Billy Bob's always cool.
9. They need to write in a lot of heavy-metal for the soundtrack.
10. M-O-O-N, that spells "you probably won't see this anytime soon." And when you do, Woody Allen won't be directing it. Or Molly Ringwald.
|Extra Tidbit:
|Stephen King was always a big deal in my household. However, exposing a small child to stuff like PET SEMATARY and IT is not cool. Do you know how scared I was of storm drains? Two months worth of nightmares. Thanks Mom.

-2 cups all purpose or unbleached flour
-1 teaspoon salt
-2/3 cups plus 2 tablespoons shortening
-4 to 7 tablespoons cold water
1. In medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
2. Gather pastry into a ball and divide into two rounds. Shape into flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Wrap flattened round of pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. this allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
3. Roll pastry on lightly floured surface using floured rolling pin, into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate or 3 inches larger than 10- or 11-inch tart pan. Fold pastry into fourths and place in pie plate; or roll pastry loosely around rolling pin and transfer to pie plate. Unfold or unroll pastry and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side and being careful not to stretch pastry, which will cause it to shrink when baked.
4. Spoon desired filling into pastry-lined 9-inch glass pie plate. Trim overhanging edge of bottom pastry 1/2 inch from rim of plate. Roll other round of pastry. Fold top pastry into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape.
5. Place pastry over filling and unfold or unroll. Trim overhanging edge of top pastry 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute. Bake as directed in pie recipe.

Governmentwide efforts to help homeless veterans pulled only about 2,000 individuals off the streets from 2014 to 2015, according to new estimates released this week by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
White House officials spun that statistic as continuing a five-year decline in homeless veterans numbers, proof that they're making progress on the problem. President Obama this week praised government efforts as helping "tens of thousands of our veterans get off the streets."
But the small change in the yearly estimates makes the administration's pledge to end veterans homelessness by the start of 2016 appear all but impossible, and potentially many years away.
The annual point-in-time count, conducted in January, shows there are about 48,000 homeless veterans across the country. That's down from the 50,000 in the January 2014 count, but a smaller drop than the 5,000 veterans taken off the streets in each of the previous three years.
Officials estimate the number was just under 75,000 in 2010, when the White House announced its national campaign to solve the problem.
Since the latest count was conducted in January, officials in a number of major metropolitan areas — including Houston, Las Vegas, New Orleans and Salt Lake City — announced they have "effectively" ended veterans homelessness by putting in place enough assistance programs and shelters to quickly house any veterans in financial distress.
On Veterans Day, Virginia officials announced theirs had become the first state to end veterans homelessness statewide.
That progress may be reflected in the 2016 point-in-time count, to be conducted in two months. But federal officials in recent months incorrectly predicted significant progress in this year's figures, and will not release the next estimates until fall 2016.
The full point-in-time count — which includes national homelessness figures and challenges — will be released in coming days.
HUD officials downplayed the smaller annual reduction in homeless veterans numbers and said they are pleased that efforts are helping individuals get stable housing.
"We have collaborated with partners in the private and philanthropic sectors, and every level of government, to put us on a path to achieve that goal," Jennifer Ho, HUD senior adviser on housing and services, said in a statement.
"We've enlisted more than 850 state and local officials to commit to this effort, successfully housed more than 101,000 veterans through the HUD-VASH program, and reduced the number of unsheltered homeless veterans by 50 percent," she said. "We know how to solve this problem and communities across the country have shown us it can be done."
Baylee Crone, executive director for the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, called the small decrease in the national estimate concerning, but said she doesn't believe it reflects a slowdown in progress in helping vulnerable veterans.
"The numbers that really matter to us right now are the community-level ones," she said. "What you can't see in the [point-in-time] count are the new systems that have been put in place and the speed veterans have going from homeless to housing."
Crone said better community level coordination and new federal funding tools have resulted in significant decreases in local estimates that the coalition tracks, and went on to say she's pleased with the progress officials have seen since 2010 and in just the last year alone.
"Still, the [point-in-time] count needs to keep going down," she said. "Obviously, 48,000 homeless veterans is still way too high."

October 8, 2014 Westborough, MA F1 race car driver Michael Schumacher was released from a rehabilitation hospital in Geneva, Switzerland and is now home recovering from the catastrophic brain injury he sustained in December 2013. He is conscious but does not speak or move about. He requires 24 hour medical care and is living is a special suite adapted in his home that allows him to continue to receive the best care possible while being in his familiar setting surrounded by family and friends. The cost of his care exceeds $ 100,000 per month.
This is the sad example of the devastating impact of traumatic brain injury on both individuals and their families. And the costs associated with its care. Thousands of Formula 1 racing fans visit the Facebook page of Michael Schumacher monthly to hopefully learn of his recovery. Only this week was it published that Schumacher is unlikely to ever drive again.
"TBI is a preventable affliction and prevention starts with awareness and learned caution about the possible impact of taking risks and pushing the envelope of one's ability" according to Michael Sefton, Ph.D. Director of Neuropsychology at Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital in Massachusetts. Schumacher's injuries are likely going to result in permanent brain damage making it unlikely that he will live independently. At a cost of over 1 million dollars annually even the more affluent patient will need help paying for the costs associated with the catastrophic disability caused by trauma to the brain.
Behavior change and growing awareness after TBI
WESTBOROUGH, MA March 4, 2014 The recovery from TBI is a long and arduous one often taking years. Family members experience the up and down emotions like no other form of illness save the treatment for cancer. Recovery will take years in many cases such as that of Michael Schumacher. No one is immune from the impact of traumatic brain injury. Early this winter race care drive Michael Schumacher became critically injured in a ski accident while he and his son were on the slopes in France.
As of today Schumacher is still hospitalized and he remains in an unconscious state. He is fighting to regain his functioning and is only beginning his journey. Schumacher has a long way to come and sadly, may yet succumb to his severe brain injury from a host of possible causes like infection, post traumatic seizure, autonomic storming, and even recurrent swelling. Or he may dwell in a persistent near-conscious state forever. No one can say for certain but the longer he remains in an unconscious state the less likely it is that he will regain full function. It is likely that he will never drive again and that Michael Schumacher will never be the same. If he is able to regain consciousness his re-entry into the world will be tenuous.
Awareness of deficits after brain injury
Traumatic brain injury is a social contagion. It affects patients and their families immeasurably by altering the normal trajectory of development. Since Michael Schumacher's accident thousands of unnamed people have become injured – even killed around the world because of traumatic brain injury. These nameless people must slowly regain their awareness as they slowly emerge from the injury's grip. This is a slow and grevious process amplified by a tendency to under estimate the injuries with which they clearly struggle. "This lack of awareness becomes the disconnect between family and survivor" according to Michael Sefton, Ph.D. Deficits in awareness has a direct impact of success of recovery from rehabilitation brain injury according to an article by Dirette and Plaisier in 2007. They describe awareness as an accurate or not accurate appraisal of one's cognitive capacity and "accurately recognize problems caused by their injuries" (2007). The conflict that grows can marginalize the survivor and leave him at risk for social problems like drug and alcohol abuse. Arguably, one's awareness of his deficits comes as a process of grief, anger, and finally acceptance – especially when one's personal self appraisal differs greatly from that of supportive family members, according to Sefton.
Meanwhile, George Prigatano, Ph.D. has a marvelous chapter on the stages of awareness including 2 concepts highlighting emergent and anticipatory awareness. Ostensibly, these describe differing levels of insight and self-monitoring often marred by the impact of brain injury.

Junior High and High School Topic Maps
Topic maps tell you what topic you will be learning and when. Most are done on a monthly chart so you can look and see what is being taught in that month and what is coming up down the road. A few of the maps are done quarterly, but have the same concept of finding out what is being taught and when.
Just choose a subject area from the left hand column and click on the grade level or teacher name. More topic maps will be added to the site as they are completed. Maps will also be updated with changes from year to year.
What a great way to check out what is happening in the classrooms.

So here's another FOTD that I did last week, I had gone to a graduation party and a funeral that night. I've purchased Bell Bottom Blue pigment from the Naughty Nauticals Collection last fall and I had yet to try it. So I thought I would put this look together.
This eyeshadow placement is one of the easiest ever! Great for when your running out of time and it's practically all in the blending. I really recommend this method for beginners. Then add on more eyeshadows when one feels comfortable. It just consist of a lid color (Bell Bottom Blue), crease color (Soft Brown, love this shit!), and a highlighter (Ricepaper, really great for people with a yellow undertone ahemASIANSahem). I added an additional eyeshadow (Carbon) because I had time to do so but it really wasn't needed. I also have Fly-By-Blu pearlglide liner on the bottom lash line but it really doesn't make the look pop like how my Rave liner did.
I was pretty surprised that Bell Bottom Blue pigment wasn't as dark as I thought it was. I consider this a mid-Blue color. I also thought I could take the blue further up so more of it is shown. All in all, it's one of my favorite looks to pull since blue eyeshadows do compliment brown eyes.

We are living in a world where business and pleasure takes us frequently to every corner of the world. Whether you travel on a short trip in Pakistan, abroad or a long distance flight it is important that you are protected in every possible way during your travel period.
When we get prepared for a business or leisure trip, we seem to pack our lives into our luggage, not to mention the money and any other valuables that we also take with us wherever we go but more importantly we need to consider our health. The key question is when you should consider buying a multi-trip travel insurance plan than a single-trip travel insurance plan. To find the right multi trip travel insurance cover plan for you, you need to compare travel insurance in Pakistan through mawazna.com as this will enable you comparing many providers under a single roof as one stop shop experience where you can not only review the products but also apply for such travel insurance plans as well. Mawazna.com works as an authorized partner to various leading insurance companies in Pakistan.
Who is Annual Travel Insurance Right for?
You may be traveling alone or along with family but if you travel several times during a year, then it is often cheaper to get an annual/multi-trip travel insurance cover as this can be the cheapest option and can save you additional costs that are incurred when buying travel insurance multiple times. It is important that you plan your trips well ahead of the time and understand how you will be travelling so that you can review and select the best travel insurance offered by insurance companies in Pakistan. Mawazna.com certainly can help you to get there.
Only Purchase Once
The main advantage of multi-trip travel insurance is that you only have to take the cover out once a year which means that you can travel easily, regardless of whether the trip is planned or not.
You can Save Money
Another major benefit of annual multi-trip travel insurance is that it is the most cost effective option and works out cheaper than purchasing single trip insurance cover for each trip several times. It also removes the need to fill out multiple forms time and time again before you take your trip, avoiding multiple payments, and can easily avoid unnecessary information handling and management.
Travel as Many Times as You Wish
Many insurers will allow you to travel as much as you want during the course of a year and this is great for those who like to travel. Depending on your needs, it is worth looking around so that you can compare travel insurance in Pakistan. Some insurers put a cap on the number of times you can travel while others put other restrictions in place but you can be sure that the right cover is out there for you. Therefore comparing such options makes a good sense.
What is Covered?
Just like when you are at home, you can fall ill or suffer injury when you are travelling. Therefore, the medical cover forms an important part of your travel insurance. Medical costs can mount up when treatment is required and so, the right insurance will provide sufficient cover for all costs and a hassle free experience to deal with such incidents.
Usually, your policy offers you personal liability and cancellation coverage in case your trip gets cancelled at a short notice, leaving you stranded with no options in hand. As mentioned, travelling often requires you to take a lot of belongings with you which are likely to get lost or stolen. Whether it is baggage or personal possessions, they can cost a lot to replace regardless of whether it is a laptop or a digital camera apart from the other inconvenience.
Finally, your spending money may also be included in the cover depending upon the policy coverage. This is often limited to a fixed amount depending on the insurer but it does provide absolute peace of mind that you are protected from all eventualities.

There are times that slaves have to learn a lesson. They have to understand they can't have their way and they are put on this planet to please their mistresses. This slave has to learn it the hard way. After giving his mistress constant back talk and disrespect, she lays him down and strips down to her panties and bra. She sits directly on his face, cutting off his air supply and forcing him to comply.
When a mistress is deprived of something, she will punish her slave. This brunette mistress missed an activity so she has to punish her slave. She takes off her pants and puts her full weight on his face. She grinds her ass and pussy into his face, smothering him and making him smell the odors of her body. She won't let up until she is over her upset and he won't cause another delay again.
Denim is a fabric that's great for any occasion, even face sitting. Helen wants to sit on her friends face and decides she has the best pair of shorts on for it. She bends her friend over her knee, spanking her adorable ass. She then puts her on the couch and climbs over her. She knows her girlfriend can smell her pussy as she puts the full weight of her body on her face.
Mistress Mercedes is such a pretty girl with a juicy ass. She loves to get her favorite slave over to give him the face sitting of a lifetime. Of course her slave isn't going to save anything, because he is getting her perfect ass scent right on his face. This slave is one lucky guy to get all of Mistress Mercedes's perfection right on top of his face.

I love it when I buy things in SL that instantly make me want to be creative... I love it even more when those things help me create something beautiful... Though most of the time, my beautiful tends to end up being something dark too... I'm not so good at the pretty pictures that are all light and girlie...
This one is one of my new favourites, and OK I say that a lot but there is just something real looking about this picture... Something that I've never been able to capture before!
The whole idea for this picture came about due to the event that is ROMP. I had been browsing through the many stalls at the location and spotted these amazing Bites & Hickeys from antielle, and could not hit the buy button fast enough. They are available in three different styles, with or without hickeys and a bloody version too - which I surprised myself by not getting LOL - and each style has darker or lighter looks to it, so you can really be creative with your playtime scars.
The outfit that I chose to wear is something that is so pretty, the front is lovely but I cannot get enough of the corset lacing up the back, this time the Dead Dollz Minuet outfit is a rear view hehe... You can grab yourself one of these outfits from We <3 RP at the moment, and never fear they are available in pretty pastel colours as well as the dark one that I am wearing...
My hands tied behind my back, the rose as a gift for being a good girl during playtime...
Two good gifts for lucky me... The marks of a good time and a rose to say thanks...
What is she wearing;
Hair: CATWA - Leah
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07
Bite Marks: antielle - Appetizer / Bites & Hickeys (Available until October 16th at ROMP)
Outfit: Dead Dollz - Minuet in Inferno (Available until October 31st at We <3 RP)
Cuff: [Fetch] - Bow Cuffs (No Longer Available)
Rose: erratic - Long Stemmed Rose in Yellow
Pose: Image Essentials - Vintage 1

What do pumps, fans, motors and gearboxes have in common? They all use roller bearings. As these bearings are often buried deep inside the machine, making it impossible to see what condition they are in at any given time, which significantly increases the risk of breakdown and downtime in your production. Condition monitoring offers a predictive approach to plant maintenance ensuring optimum asset performance whilst keeping downtime to a minimum.
To optimise maintenance activities it is crucial to have up to date visibility of the status of machinery including primary assets and services such as motors, fans, pumps and gearboxes.
Mitsubishi Electric offers this capability through its integrated solutions collecting live data from advanced measurement sensors for analysis by multiple levels of management systems.
Standard monitoring concepts often focus on only classic machine and process parameters such as temperature, pressure or hours of operation.
SmartCheck is an independently operating, compact, modular measurement system for the permanent monitoring of machines. The system can monitor both classic parameters and vibration-based parameters.
Mitsubishi Electric, in conjunction with Schaeffler, can provide an integrated approach to monitor the condition of the asset. Information can be automatically transferred over Ethernet networks via the iQ Automation Platform to multiple information levels.
SmartCheck combines smart sensor intelligence with real-time monitoring and control. The ability to passively detect variations in machine condition whilst linking to the control system leads to early warning signals and the ability to prevent costly downtime and loss of production.
SmartCheck works by detecting the normal vibrations of a machine and looking for patterns outside the norm, this leads to a series of alarm conditions that are used to alert the maintenance crew that attention is needed.
A teach function allows the SmartCheck system to learn the machine in its normal operating state, it creates a memory map of the vibration readings, all machines vibrate to one degree or another and using sophisticated analysis techniques the sensor can locally detect abnormal operation . Further advanced methods of vibration analysis are also possible using software tools.
The ability to link multiple SmartCheck sensors back to a single controller leads to a better understanding of the complete area to be monitored. This information can be networked to higher level systems in many ways including wired and wireless methods.
A pre-programmed controller and operator display is used to make the system extremely easy to install and configure, sensors can simply be plugged in and enabled using the touch screen display, within minutes the system is active and monitoring the plant. Real-time alarms give the operator textural graphical information about the type of condition that the alarm relates to.
Here, Volker Erberich from Schaeffler, explains how the Mitsubishi Electric / FAG SmartCheck solution, with its innovative compact design and it self- teaching out of the box capabilities, along with many other features that include a history log, can help detect problems early on and allow maintenance teams schedule planned maintenance and prevent costly unexpected down time.
Monitoring can cover products such as:
Simple decision. The SCM Kit-1 COMPACT offers outstanding value and reduces costly downtime. It is a completely preconfigured condition monitoring solution with a vibration sensor and is optionally expandable with up to six sensors.
A condition monitoring system installed on a paper coating machine has enabled the Mitsubishi HiTec Paper plant in Bielefeld, Germany to switch from time-based to condition-based monitoring, helping to avoid unnecessary machine shutdowns. Enabling the new system is a Mitsubishi Electric L-series PLC that operates as a bidirectional gateway between the controller and sensors.

When you have a mental illness, it's easy to feel isolated and alone. It doesn't matter if you have 100 friends, or 1 friend, if they do not understand what you're going through, it can make you feel like you have no-one. I found having an online community on nomorepanic.co.uk was a huge deal to me. I got to meet other people who were just like me, who understood and reassured me of all my daily struggles, all whilst not having to leave my comfort zone. Sometimes, knowing that someone else out there gets what it's like, can make all the difference to your day and how you're feeling.
Within this part of my blog you will find I write about my journey from when my Anxiety first started, through my diagnosis, counselling, and finally how I've managed to keep my Anxiety under control for the most part.
I do hope that these help you, and you find what you're looking for. I'd love to hear from you, so please leave a comment under my blog, or drop me an email email@example.com

IN THE recent violence during the Jat quota agitation in Haryana, it was not just the living who were targeted — the dead too were not spared.
Lt Ravinder Chhikara's marble bust enjoyed pride of place in Jhajjar town, at a central square known as Chhikara Chowk. The young Grenadiers' officer died after killing some militants in Jammu and Kashmir in 2000. He was awarded the Kirti Chakra posthumously.
The bust was decapitated, allegedly by non-Jat communities, in the recent clashes. It is now wrapped in a sack.
"Shaheed to sabke hote hain, inhone usko bhi nahi chhora (Martyrs belong to everyone, they didn't even spare him)," said Jitender Dahiya, a 27-year-old resident, nursing a fractured arm and a leg sustained in an attack on the Jat community's Sir Chhotu Ram Dharamshala.
Dozens of people were reportedly injured in the attack during which the building was burnt down. A statue of Sir Chhotu Ram, one of the tallest Jat leaders of pre-Partition era who enjoys iconic status in the state, was also damaged. The statue is now wrapped in cloth.
"Even those who migrated from Haryana to Pakistan after Partition revere Sir Chhotu Ram, but the attackers did not spare his statue," said Ved Prakash, president of the dharamshala committee.
According to reports, the statues were targeted after a similar attack on a statue of Rao Tula Ram, the foremost leader of the Ahir community of Haryana and one of the key protagonists of the 1857 war of independence. His statue, astride a horse, is placed at a prominent crossing in Jhajjar.
On February 19, some miscreants reportedly vandalised the statue and chopped off the tail of Rao Tula Ram's horse.
But Jats denied any involvement. "It was done to defame Jats, and to rally the Ahirs together," said Subedar Joginder Singh, a retired soldier.
Maman Singh, who belongs to the Saini community, said the divide between Jats and non-Jats was reflected in the vandalism of each other's icons. "Sab kuch dobara ban sakta hai, par dil ke ghaav nahi bhar sakte (Everything can be rebuilt, but the wounds of the heart will not heal)," he said.

Pearl White Z06 Corvette
One word. Gorgeous. That's really the only way to describe this finished wrap.Ernesto called us up about wrapping his 2010 Corvette Z06 in Pearl White. The car is originally dark blue. Since Chevy didn't make a white Corvette in 2010, let alone a pearl white one, wrapping was the only way to go. He also wanted to wrap the roof area and spoiler in carbon fiber. After talking to him a bit, we came to find out that he proudly serves in the Army. At Premier Wraps we offer a 10% Military Discount, which we gladly implemented with this project. Installation took a couple of days, instead of the usual 24hrs, because of the heat we've been having here in So Cal. But the extra day allowed us to really get detailed with installation. We took the wrap a bit farther then normal and went all the way into the door jams. Again. One word. Gorgeous.

The underrated Purge series is surprisingly astute about the American psyche.
The Purge franchise has an excellent conceit: in a dystopian near future, America has one day a year when all crime is legal, including murder. It's a national holiday of sadism created to let out all the anger and hatred bottled up by Americans. The Purge exists for economic reasons, we're told. The event not only lowers crime rates throughout the rest of the year, but also functions as a financial device—the increased sale of weapons, I imagine—that saved the U.S. economy.
I watched all three Purge films for this first time this past weekend, and I'm kicking myself for not having seen them sooner. These movies are perhaps one of the most critically underrated franchises of the past decade.
I'll admit, each of the films is more than far-fetched and hamfisted about what they want to say, but they fucking commit. In all three, writer-director James DeMonaco establishes a clear vision for his franchise. Though some characters cross over between movies, each expands the scope of its universe in a distinct way rather than attempting to replicate the same thrills of its predecessor.
Like the Purge itself, the Purge movies themselves are also the product of savvy business.
The first Purge film followed a wealthy family locked in their home during Purge night. It was movie about claustrophobia and the cost of suburban comfort. Its sequel, The Purge: Anarchy, offered a glimpse outside at the way the Purge affects people across different walks of life. It plays more like an action movie than a horror flick, but we get a better portrait of how violence affects the American psyche. The Purge, it turns out, is less about purifying American souls and more about ridding the nation of its poor and homeless—the people who are obviously disproportionately killed during the Purge. (This idea is only lightly hinted at in the first film.)
And the newest installment, The Purge: Election Year, released last Friday, goes full-bore on this last concept. From one of the opening scenes, we learn that the Purge is just a tool conservative, rich white men use to control the nation's economy and reinforce rigid social classes. But the political climate is changing in America: A senator is running for president on an anti-Purge platform is gaining traction, so of course her opposition attempts to murder her during the Purge.
Like the Purge itself, the Purge movies themselves are also the product of savvy business. The first film, made for just $3 million (a pittance in Hollywood), went on to gross $89 million worldwide. These films are just another successful series out of low-budget horror factory Blumhouse Productions. You can certainly tell the first Purge is a Blumhouse movie: It doesn't look cheaply made, but you can tell it cost next to nothing to produce. The entire movie takes place in a house—a single set and shooting location. There are very few actors, and barely any extras.
The company's first big hit was Paranormal Activity—made for a mere $15,000 and went on to gross nearly $200 million—and since then has launched a handful of low-key successes like Insidious and Sinister. It also has put out an even greater number of movies you've never heard of. Ever watch Creep, Curve, Stretch, or 13 Sins? (If any of those titles look familiar, it's because you've seen them in the dregs of Netflix's horror category.)
According to Jason Blum, the proprietor of Blumhouse, this is by design. He has created a system that puts out a lot of cheap movies, knowing that many of them would fail. (Forty percent of Blumhouse movies never make it to theaters.) An episode of Planet Money compares Blum's views about filmmaking to the way a Silicon Valley venture capitalist makes a lot of small bets, knowing most will fail. But the ones that succeed will do well enough to make all of it worth it.
This strategy flies in the face of the way much of Hollywood works now. You may have noticed that in the past decade, film studios have ratcheted up their tentpole strategy—putting out fewer movies, but going full-bore on them. Hollywood is putting out more expensive films, but it is also spending more on them—not just for production, but for promotion too.
I told you this movie wasn't subtle!
It's easy to criticize Hollywood's reliance on throwing money into mediocre movies housed in well-established franchises, but the thing is, it generally works. Even a movie like Warcraft, the film adaptation of a video game nobody asked for, cost $160 million to make and flopped in the U.S. went on to have a record-breaking opening weekend in China. Variety reports that Warcraft is another reminder that "[i]nternational performances are less shaped by U.S. scores, reviews and world views," which could signal a future where Hollywood blockbusters become increasingly more interested in the foreign market than the one at home.
Horror films tend to do well overseas. This is not the case with The Purge movies. Supernatural horrors tend to travel better in foreign markets—the gritty, near-future dystopia of The Purge perhaps less so. But perhaps the thing that translates the least: The Purge movies are deeply, specifically American. They question whether the United States' obsession with violence is part of human nature, part of the country's history, or just a way to rationalize racism, misogyny, and other forms of oppression.
Non-prestige, commercial films are less and less willing to tackle anything uniquely American for fear that it will affect the movie's international performance. And while it's great to consider the wants of international audiences, it is strange that Blumhouse Productions might be the only place willing to take a gamble on a horror movie that might resonate most strongly with Americans.
The Purge: Election Year is littered with little political touches that evoke distinctly American anxieties: fear of big business, fear of immigration, fear of guns, fear of the government. But to say these movies are smart about politics would be missing what makes them effective. (The first scene of Election Year mixes up the spellings of "capital" and "Capitol," which seems like good reason to be skeptical of the movie's intelligence.) Most powerfully, Election Year is full of memorable spectacles, the kind genre movies tend to do better than arthouse films. There are the sadistic teenage purgers, dressed as fairies, wielding bedazzled AK-47s; grotesque Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty costumes; or the shot of the word "PURGE" painted in blood across the columns of the Lincoln Memorial. I told you this movie wasn't subtle!
Actually, the least subtle thing in Election Year comes when America's ruling party, dubbed the New Founding Fathers, hire a squad of Nazi mercenaries to capture the Senator. These Nazis not only have shaved heads and swastika tattoos, but also Confederate flag and "white power" patches sewn on their military outfits—in case it wasn't abundantly clear that these guys are bad.
Remarkably, the third film—which feels huge compared to the first two—only cost $10 million to make. (That's only $1 million more than Anarchy, and I suspect all this money was spent on special effects for a Nazi helicopter.) Election Year brought in $34 million during its opening this past weekend, ensuring there will be more Purge movies to come.
I cannot wait for more. For all its B-movie clumsiness, The Purge stands out as a series with a diverse cast in a Hollywood that can only make half-assed attempts at inclusion. The movies feature female characters who are actually characters and not just victims, a long-standing trope of the genre. But what further bolsters my excitement are the people who don't love these movies. The reviewer at the New York Post called Election Year "bloody liberal propaganda" because he didn't like the way it satirized conservatives. But in the year of Donald Trump, a candidate whose platform has more in common with the New Founding Fathers than not (plus ties to neo-Nazi supporters), that might be the highest praise you can give a horror movie.

Answer: Pain, six months after Cataract and Lens Implant Surgery is not typical or normal. However, in all probability the discomfort has nothing to do with the implantation of a Toric Lens Implant as compared to a Monofocal or standard Lens Implant. It is impossible to know why you have what you describe as "significant" pain from your description. If your Cataract Surgeon is not able to identify the cause of the pain and alleviate it, then you should consider scheduling a consultation with the best Cataract Surgeon you can find in your area and perhaps even one who is also a Corneal Specialist if indeed you are suspected of having some type of dry eye or ocular surface problem.

Tomorrow is my son's 2nd birthday party! Like most moms, birthdays have me planning, decorating and reflecting on how quickly time passes. Afterall, it certainly doesn't feel like it's been a whole year since we celebrated Scott's 1st birthday!
Last year's party was such a hit at Quinn Farm that we decided to host his party there once again. The kids loved the tractor ride, playing and picking pumpkins in the patch, decorating their pumpkins, visiting the animals... and I loved not having to clean up!
Of course, as is with any birthday, there are always gifts involved. This year, more than ever, I feel great knowing that I made my guests' lives a little simpler and registered a gift. I don't know what it was this past week, but it seemed like everyone was super busy with work, school and just day-to-day life. I'm pretty sure that many of my guests would not have had the time to shop for Scott's gift and I feel relieved knowing that I made their lives a little less hectic.
Scott made choosing his WishGift a little easier this year. My husband Danny and I were in a little dispute as to what Scott would love. After witnessing the same passion with tools as his dad, we both agreed that he'd love a Melissa and Doug Workbench however I thought it'd be great to compliment the workbench with a Handy Manny Talkin' Tools Set while Danny thought Scott would love a Melissa and Doug Solid Wood Stacking Blocks set. That same night, Scott proudly showed off a tower he constructed from his sister's dollhouse furniture and stacking blocks were registered!
We ordered the two items from a wonderful, family-run toy store called the Cape Breton Baby Company. I chose their site over other large retailers due to their customer service and competitive pricing with shipping. We got the parcel within a week of placing the order and just in time for tomorrow's party. Can't wait for everyone to see the awesome gifts they contributed towards and Scotty's reaction when he sees things he can build and smash down!!

When adding integers, use a number line to help you think through problems.It will be really helpful.
For example: 2 + 6
Start at 2 and move 6 units to the right.
Since you stopped at 8, the answer is 8
Notice that you would get the same answer if you start at 6 and move 2 units to the right.
Find -2 + 8:
Start at 2 and move 8 units to the right.
Since you end up at 6, the answer is 6.
Find 4 + -7
Start at 4.
Here the number you are adding to 4 is a negative number(-7), so you have to move 7 units to the left.
After you do that, you will end up at -3, so the answer is -3
Find -2 + -6
Start at -2
Once again, the number you are adding is a negative number(-6), so you will move 6 units to the left.
You will end up at -8, so the answer is -8.
Other examples:
-1 + 8 = 7 ( Start at -1 and move 8 units to the right).
4 + -4 = 0 ( Start at 4 and move 4 units to the left).
7 + -9 = -2 ( Start at 7 and move 9 units to the left).
-5 + 3 = -2 ( Start at -5 and move 3 units to the right)

There were an estimated 3 million visitors to Lee County in 2014- that's up 12% from the previous year. We suspect after this winter, we will again see gains in the folks coming for a bit of sun and fun!
They are finding that 38.4% of these tourists were from the UK, 25 % from Canada and 19.5% from Germany. 10% of the tourists were from the USA.
These findings have caused the Tourist Development Council to develop a plan for new international marketing and advertising. Let's keep the hotel beds and restaurant tables full!

Dis·ap·pear v. i. [imp. & p. p. Disappeared p. pr. & vb. n. Disappearing.]
1. To cease to appear or to be perceived; to pass from view, gradually or suddenly; to vanish; to be no longer seen; as, darkness disappears at the approach of light; a ship disappears as she sails from port.
2. To cease to be or exist; as, the epidemic has disappeared.
◄ ►
Dis·ap·pear·ing, p. pr. & vb. n. of Disappear.
Disappearing carriage Ordnance, a carriage for heavy coast guns on which the gun is raised above the parapet for firing and upon discharge is lowered behind the parapet for protection. The standard type of disappearing carriage in the coast artillery of the United States army is the Buffington-Crozier carriage, in which the gun trunnions are secured at the upper and after ends of a pair of heavy levers, at the lower ends of which is attached a counterweight of lead. The levers are pivoted at their middle points, which are, with the top carriage, permitted restrained motion along the slightly inclined chassis rails. The counterweight is held in place by a pawl and ratchet. When the gun is loaded the pawl is released and the counterweight sinks, raising the gun to the firing position above the parapet. The recoil following the discharge returns the gun to the loading position, the counterweight rising until the pawl engages the ratchet.
