Voices: Your rights to long-term care records
One of the questions we answer most frequently is how to access a residents' records at a nursing home.
In Indiana, a resident living in a long-term care home has the right to immediate access to his or her active clinical/medical records. In other states, the home may have 24 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) to provide the resident with access.
The active clinical record includes such things as: diagnosis, assessments, care plan, services provided, doctor orders, progress notes, nurses notes, functional abilities, physical limitations, medications, treatments and current diet.
For resident records that are not medical/clinical (for example, resident trust accounting or contracts between the resident and home,) the home must provide the resident access within 24 hours.
All that is needed for a resident to see his or her records, is to ask to see them. The home may keep these records on the computer or on paper. Either way, since the home is responsible for the security of resident records, the home may require viewing of the records to be done under direct staff supervision.
A resident also has the right to receive copies of his or her chart. After the request is made, the home has two working days (excluding weekends and holidays) in which to provide copies to the resident. If the records are kept electronically the resident may request either a paper copy or an electronic copy of the records. Be aware, however, that the home may charge the resident a "reasonable fee" for copies of the records.
A newer requirement pertaining to resident rights and access to records ensures the home provides records in a format the resident can understand. This may include summarizing the records into a language the resident can understand. The resident must make this specific request and incur the expense.
Persons other than residents who can access information are: a person appointed by the resident in most Powers of Attorney or Appointments of Healthcare Representative documents, a court-appointed guardian or a healthcare surrogate as outlined in state statute.
However, in keeping with the fundamental rights of residents to be treated with dignity and respect, it is important to try to seek permission from a resident before gaining or giving access to the resident's records.

Re: Your ideas for game changes @Reinarc
Looking forward to your next version release.
This con is huge and I hate when one-shot damages are part of a game. Otherwise, the idea is okay.Idea 1: All allies and enemies are hit with Expose All, causing 225% increased damage that cannot be removed by defending.
Pros: Increases strategy (you want to proc Overload under the right conditions, such as when the enemy is weakened or out of mana or when you're able to heal easily). I'm even considering allowing the enemy to manipulate the gauge in this scenario.
Cons: Could be frustrating because 225% damage could result in one shots on player characters.
Yes another aspect that will cause confusion in the beginning. Your battle system is very complex and unique, but I noticed changes to explanations (last night YouTube video) that made it more understandable. So, there's no reason you couldn't explain this well enough to understand during battle tutorials.Idea 2: Enemies receive randomized debuff called "reveals" (throwback to original term). These can be any element. During this phase (which will last 3 turns), expose and aggravate is disabled. Use the corresponding element to trigger an explosion. E.g. an enemy receives Water Reveal. Use a water attack on them to trigger an explosion. Enemy will receive a new reveal on the next turn.
Pros: Encourages diversity of your layout (you want all elements available)
Cons: Might be confusing for a while.
Last night's review of your game talked specifically about this portion of the game and I agree 100% with his observations. Drop that first big auto-battle and use the portion that immediately follows for character development and tutorial purposes to develop Vadaj's personality and background. You could truncate that section, but I would keep it and look at the dialog used to see where it could be tweaked so it really explains the character. But be careful with using too many words. I've always been a "show me with actions, don't tell me with words" type of person.About Story Changes
I really think I have a great story to tell. I also think I did a poor job of introducing said story. The introduction feels disconnected, and this is where I show my novice. After some consideration, I am scrapping the entire Jardak/Vadaj section of the intro.

First a word on what a blog is (and isn't). A blog is a publishing platform — a rich, multifaceted and very easy one that's search engine optimized, and easily linked to and from. It's an easy way for anyone to control their own "press." But whether that press is used for lengthy diatribes, scholarly analysis, running humor, video, audio, graphics, photos, breaking news, reporting, analysis, links to other things or myriad other possibilities is up to you.
Ways to achieve blogging success — whatever "success" means to you and your business:
1. Know your objective.
What are you trying to do? Brand yourself as an expert? Amuse people? Get a niche audience? Sell ads to a mass audience? Drive subscriptions to a newsletter? As with any editorial product, you'll want to know what you're trying to do, target your audience, and give it to them.
2. Be consistent.
Whatever you've decided, it's best to be consistent. If you're doing a blog about health devices, don't diverge too often into the habits of your cat — unless the cat is somehow a character you use to make your larger points, a way to bring people into the larger message of the blog. You can even be consistently inconsistent — sometimes scholarly, sometimes goofy, for example — if that's what you want to have as your blogging "persona." But you'll have to sustain it over time.
3. Be focused.
We're well past the stage when people can get an audience to a blog just because it's there. Experience and numerous examples show that success in blogging, at least from a business perspective, comes to those who focus on whatever the blog is about. If it's a niche music blog, stay focused on that niche. If you're a video blog making fun of Wall Street, keep doing that. If you're about sex or book publishing or New York celebrity, stay on target. You want your audience to keep coming back, and for new people to find you and then be pleased with what they see, and want to keep coming back as well, and liking what they see time after time.
4. Have the energy.
I was recently speaking to best-selling business humorist Stanley Bing, who's recently started a blog under the Time Warner umbrella. It's very successful, with lots of content, and gets great fan participation from all over the country. Stanley's terribly prolific – while holding down a "day job" in his other life, he continues to write book after book after book, and keeps his magazine column going in Fortune.
But even Stanley was lamenting to me how, once the blog got started, he had to find something to write in it every day. Professor Jay Rosen of New York University, who runs the noted PressThink blog, also recently talked about how it has to be fed again and again and again. I let my blog MediaFlect.com lay fallow for long stretches while working as editorial director at mediabistro.com.
It takes energy. And if you get an audience, they're doing to want you to sustain it.
You're going to have to "feed the maw."
5. Choose your platform. But don't' sweat it too much.
There are a lot of good platforms out there – paid, free, ads, no ads, flexible templates, locked in to one design or multiple flexible designs. Any and all of them are valid, depending on your needs. If you're after ad revenue from third parties, you'll need a blog that handles those. Or maybe you want to be as simple as possible, and just get a blog up, so people can read it.
But also remember that whatever choice you make, you can change it over time to something else. The change is not without pain, but you can do it. I moved MediaFlect over from Blogsome to Blogspot and may move it again. PaidContent.org moved from MoveableType to a new software, Expression Engine. There are always hitches. And it's a good idea to have software that will let you export posts en masse. But it can be done.
The main thing is to get going, and then refine it over time.
6. Comments or not?
A lot of publishers sweat over whether to allow comments, whether to allow commenting freely, how much to police them, and so on. Relax. Yes, you may be liable if someone posts something libelous and you do nothing to fix it. But you can easily set you blog to notify you every time a comment is posted, you can take action if you see something untoward, and the chances are that if your blog is a niche type of content without a huge mass audience the biggest annoyance will come from automated commenting software that can be filtered more than from belligerent individuals.
7. Don't overdo the writing.
Say what you have to say – have your writers say what they have to say – and be done with it. Make your point, and go. Short is, generally sweet.
8. Don't force yourself into fixed lengths.
Yes, short is sweet, but you may have a blog where something needs to be explained at length. If that' s the nature of your blog and the nature of what your audience expects, go ahead and write longer. Some blogs, especially ones by academics, can be long and complex discussions of complicated issues, highly nuanced and run on for a long time. You can post long if it's called. for. And your next post can be three words, if that makes sense, then.
This isn't a magazine or newspaper where you have a fixed length to which you have to adhere. But you do need to be mindful of when you're no longer giving value, and figure that over a certain length (200 words? 250?) you'll start to lose readers unless what you're writing is gripping.
9. Decide if look and "feel" is important.
Some blogs are very "raw," pretty much just text on a page. If there are images, they're pasted somewhat at random, links and bolds and italics are also inserted as the spirit moves. Others are highly composed, with colors balanced, photos uniformly sized with drop shadows, videos placed "just-so," titles carefully chosen, so it looks magazine-like, carefully composed. Either is fine. But decide what matters to you and the face you're presenting the audience. Then stick to it. The more composed, of course, the higher the cost, especially in time.
10. Start small, think big.
You can start with a single blog, a string of posts, about something you're passionate about, the particular niche of your business, a subject that interests you … but if this is a business you should also from the start carefully make sure to tag and categorize and assume that, if you get an audience, you might launch all kinds of offshoots, niches within niches, related topics, maybe even other languages. You might add video, e-commerce, ads, etc, etc. Don't let all the thinking keep you from getting started – better to launch than wait. But do, where possible, think of how things will go if you do expand, and how much you'll save later on by planning from the start

Dualities and Amalgamations 2009-2010
Photo by Alan Skees
(Collection of PNC Bank Regional Headquarters, Baltimore, MD)
We are all subject to a flood of information on a daily, if not hourly, basis via a variety of technological means: emails, text messages, Facebook, Twitter, online newspapers, countless websites, as well as television and radio. With such a wide array of information from so many sources, one is obligated to discern what is true, verifiable, and good; and what is false, speculative, inflammatory, and bad.
I've become interested in how our ability to receive and assimilate a myriad of information on a constant basis can be reflected in a 2-dimensional format. In my paintings, I employ complex compositions and an autobiographical visual language consisting of codes and symbols. Each painting possesses a layered history: As new statements are juxtaposed next to or on top of earlier ones, the paintings begin to suggest the manner in which we store memories or assimilate and make sense of information. Some shapes are strong and vivid, while others become broken and incoherent, only suggested by the pentimenti left as a visual reminder of their previous existence.
Coupled with my interest in having composition reflect this contemporary media deluge is my use of color to relay information. For instance, comic books have traditionally used certain color schemes to portray truth or falsehood, as well as universal notions of good and evil. Comic book characters in their oversized bodies, personalities, and colorful costumes have become a kind of contemporary American mythology, and like all mythologies they are employed to express timeless dualities. I enjoy using palettes derived from depictions of superheroes and super villains because these conflicting systems of signification serve as mirrors of the world we live in.

How to implement Template Binding in Silverlight Custom Control?

Continuing to our 2nd chapter of the series here on Silverlight Custom Control. In this chapter we will discuss on dynamically setting the Content and other properties to our Custom Control that we implemented earlier. After reading this article, you will be able to create properties and set content dynamically to your control.
So, lets start describing them and learn something again today. These series of posts are mainly targeted for beginners but anyone can read it to refresh their learning. Don't forget to leave your comment at the end of the post. Any queries, please drop a line. I will try to help you as early as I can.
I hope, you read my previous posts. Those will help you to understand this one very easily. If you didn't read them or want to brush up before starting this chapter, find them here:
- How to create a Custom Control in Silverlight?
- How to design a Custom Control by editing the Part Template?
Once you are familiar with the previous context, lets start with this one. We will use the same example here which will give you more visualization on the sample code.
Working with the Template Part
Template parts are defined in the XAML inside the style. In our example, we have three part called "PART_HeaderPanel", "PART_HeaderText" and "PART_Content". Those are already declared in the style and you can find them here:
Now it's time to initialize them in the code. You can escape this step but it is recommended that you should do this before working with those parts. In this article, we don't need them directly but we are doing this steps here itself. We will talk more on this in next chapter.
We will declare and initialize the template part by setting the TemplatePart attribute to the class. You need to do this for all the template part. Again this step is not mandatory but recommended. This also ensures that, your user of this custom control should know what are the template parts that you used in your style. This information you will find in the meta class if you declare it here.
See the below sample code snippet to know how to declare the Template Part:
We are skipping the explanation and more code for the next chapter of the series.
Defining the Dependency Properties
As we discussed in our previous article, we will use dynamic content and brushes for our Custom Control, here is the implementation of the same. In this section, we will create some properties to expose them to the user and set them dynamically on user request.
To do this, we must have to declare some dependency properties. Make sure that, you are creating dependency properties only as they are used for Data Binding and Template Binding. If you use normal property, the code will not work and will throw exception.
To implement the Dependency Property, open your control's class file (MyControl.cs, in our case) and inside the class declare the same as per your requirement. To create a Dependency Property, you can use the code snippet called "propdp". This will create the same and help you to properly enter the definition.
For now, we will create two dependency properties to hold the Header text and Content for the main area. We will name them as "Caption" and "Content" respectively.
#region Dependency Properties
public static readonly DependencyProperty ContentProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"Content", typeof(FrameworkElement), typeof(MyControl), new PropertyMetadata(null));
public static readonly DependencyProperty CaptionProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"Caption", typeof(string), typeof(MyControl), new PropertyMetadata(string.Empty));
#region Properties
public FrameworkElement Content
get { return (FrameworkElement)GetValue(ContentProperty); }
set { SetValue(ContentProperty, value); }
public string Caption
get { return (string)GetValue(CaptionProperty); }
set { SetValue(CaptionProperty, value); }
The above code will help you to understand the same. There we created one property called "Caption" which is nothing but a string type. Setting the value here will change the Header text of our control. The other property called "Content" will be responsible to change the main content of our control.
Binding the Properties in the XAML
Once we created the dependency properties as per requirement, it's time to bind them in the XAML. We have to modify our Template/Style present in our Generic.xaml page. Remember that, you can't use normal Binding there, instead you have to use TemplateBinding. have a look into the below screenshot:
You will notice that, we added TemplateBinding to the properties respective to the parts. This will create the bonding between the control properties and dependency properties.
Setting Custom Value to the Properties
If we run the code now, voila!!! Our control doesn't have anything inside it. In our previous chapter we had some text but nothing is here. Can you think why this happened here? Just try to think the reason before scrolling next to read the answer.
If you check our dependency property, you will see that, it has empty strings and null values as the default one that we binded. We didn't mention a new value from the user's side. So, need to add the property values in our main page.
To do this, open the MainPage.xaml where we added our custom control. Try to add the Caption property to the control. You will notice that, the property is present in the dropdown intellisense too. Hence, add a caption to the property.
For example, we will add "My Custom Control" as the header text / caption. You can add other text too. Here is the code snippet for your reference:
Now run it once again and this time you will see that the string which we entered to the caption property, has been added as header title.
Similarly, we will add the content control. As our content property type is FrameworkElement, hence we can't add normal string there. We have to add some framework elements. If you want to give a provision to your user to add anything like FrameworkElement and/or strings, use "string" as the type of the Dependency Property there.
In our case, we will add 2 textblocks inside a Stackpanel as the content of our custom control. Have a look into the below screenshot. The code snippet will give you better visibility of what we are doing here.
Once done, run your application. This time you will view the content that we added right now. It is so easy, right? Yes...
Let us customize it further and create another Dependency Property to take the background color of the header panel; name it as HeaderPanelBackground. It will be a Brush type, so that, you can add any brush to it like Solid color or Gradient color.
Here is the full source code of our Custom control class:
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Media;
namespace CustomControlDemo
[TemplatePart(Name = "PART_HeaderPanel", Type = typeof(Border))]
[TemplatePart(Name = "PART_HeaderText", Type = typeof(TextBlock))]
[TemplatePart(Name = "PART_Content", Type = typeof(ContentPresenter))]
public class MyControl : Control
#region Dependency Properties
public static readonly DependencyProperty ContentProperty =
new PropertyMetadata(null));
public static readonly DependencyProperty CaptionProperty =
new PropertyMetadata(string.Empty));
public static readonly DependencyProperty HeaderPanelBackgroundProperty =
new PropertyMetadata(new SolidColorBrush(
#region Public Properties
public Brush HeaderPanelBackground
get { return (Brush)GetValue(HeaderPanelBackgroundProperty); }
set { SetValue(HeaderPanelBackgroundProperty, value); }
public FrameworkElement Content
get { return (FrameworkElement)GetValue(ContentProperty); }
set { SetValue(ContentProperty, value); }
public string Caption
get { return (string)GetValue(CaptionProperty); }
set { SetValue(CaptionProperty, value); }
public MyControl()
DefaultStyleKey = typeof(MyControl);
It's time to bind the template property to the style. Get the complete source code of the control template here:
<Style TargetType="local:MyControl">
<Setter Property="Template">
<ControlTemplate TargetType="local:MyControl">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
<RowDefinition Height="25"/>
<RowDefinition MinHeight="100" Height="*"/>
<Border x:Name="PART_HeaderPanel"
Background="{TemplateBinding HeaderPanelBackground}"
<TextBlock x:Name="PART_HeaderText"
Text="{TemplateBinding Caption}"
<ContentPresenter x:Name="PART_Content"
Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"/>
Similarly, add the HeaderPanelBackground property value to the MainPage where you added the Custom Control. For example, we will use Green color while demonstrating now.
Get the full code from here (just for reference):
<UserControl x:Class="CustomControlDemo.MainPage"
xmlns:CustomControlDemo="clr-namespace:CustomControlDemo" mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
Caption="My Custom Control">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock Text="First line in Content"/>
<TextBlock Text="Second line in Content"/>
Run the application now, once again. Oh yeah, you will see that the header now has a Green background. Change it to something else, it will automatically change. You can further customize it to dynamically change it by user input.
Hope this thing now cleared the implementation part and their usages. Try something more and you will get chance to explore it more.
Setting default value to the Template
Sometime you may want to set the default value to the template directly. User can use the same color or can change it from the place where they use it. To do this, you can use the Setter tag to insert default property value to the style. If you start typing the property name, it will automatically come in the intellisense.
Set the values properly for the respective properties. Find the code snippet here:
If you run the application now, you will not see any change. To see the default value effect, go to the MainPage and remove the properties that we already added to the control (as shown below).
Once you removed the properties, run the solution. You will see those default values as part of your UI now.
Is it clear now? Hope, this cleared the smoke from your eye. Once you read the complete post and follow those steps properly, you will be able to create custom controls in Silverlight very easily.
What Next?
Nothing much. This series will help you to understand the implementation of Custom Controls. Though it is demonstrated in Silverlight but will be same for WPF, Windows Phone 7 too. In the next chapter, we will discuss on the Control parts from code behind (i.e. inside the control class). Will publish that part soon. That will be the last chapter of the series and it will cover more on the Custom control part.

The eighth season of "Archer" introduced us to "Dreamland," an alternate reality existing entirely within Archer's head. At the end of Season 7, the titular hero was shot and ended up in a coma, thus introducing the new setting for Season 8. He's been dreaming ever since, and it appears those dreams will continue for at least one more season.
In the new trailer for "Archer: Danger Island" (originally unveiled at the New York Comic-Con), viewers get their first glimpse at an entirely new world that's only been teased in black-and-white before today.
"Archer: Danger Island" was first announced at the series' San Diego Comic-Con panel. The subtitle for Season 9 conveys another trip back in time, as Archer & Co. will be living on a remote beach in the South Pacific during 1939. In this presumed dream-state, Archer is a seaplane pilot with an eyepatch, a parrot named Crackers (voiced by Lucky Yates, who typically plays Dr. Krieger), and accompanied by his co-pilot, Pam Poovy (Amber Nash).
The rest of the gang is there, too: Lana (Aisha Tyler) is an island princess. Mallory (Jessica Walter) is a bar owner (and she reclaims her place as Archer's mother, after playing an unrelated mob boss last season). Charlotte (Judy Greer) also shares familiar characteristics with her former character, Carol/Cheryl/Cherlene: She's an heiress with a massive fortune coming her way (boom, phrasing). Cyril (Chris Parnell) is now Cypert Fuchs, a British intelligence officer posing as a local on the island.
"Archer: Danger Island" will premiere April 25 on FXX. Watch the trailer below.

Today's recipe is an easy but a delicious one.
I love recipes that are easy adaptable to one person's likings.
In this one, I used cranberries :), but you can choose raspberries, strawberries, any berries you like or have on hand.
Same goes for the chocolate, choose what you want. I thought that the white chocolate will complement the cranberries well.
|I love burst berries in baked goods!
These blondies are incredibly fast to put together. I recommend letting them cool though. They are easier to cut and chewier than when warm. But hey, if you can't stop yourself - I say go for it! I did 🙂
Chocolate and Berries Blondies
adapted from All You magazine, August 2011
1 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c butter, ( 1 stick )
1 c brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c fresh or frozen berries ( I used frozen cranberries )
1/2 c chocolate chips ( I used white chocolate )
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Let the egg and butter sit on the counter top while you get everything else ready.
Grease with shortening or line with parchment paper 8" square pan. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients ( flour, baking powder and salt ). Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter and add the brown sugar. Stir in with a wooden spoon, add the egg and vanilla extract. Stir.
Add the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Pour the batter into your pan. Sprinkle the berries and chocolate on top. You can use the spoon to distribute them into the batter.
Bake 30 minutes. Cool after baking.

Linking Journalism with the Web of Life
E-waste also known as electrical and electronic equipment waste has been identified as the fastest growing waste stream in the world and projected to soon reach fifty million tonnes a year. Though it generation is estimated at thrice the rate of municipal waste.
The Director of the Basel Convention Regional Co-ordinating Centre in Nigeria Professor Oladele Osibanjo said E-waste as an emerging global issue should be taken seriously by Government of the world beacuse of the environmental and health effect it would have on the receiving countries.
A Stakeholder in Nigeria's largest market of Computer and Allied Products (COMPUTER VILLAGE) in Lagos, Mr John Obaro said the challenge of E-waste accumulation in the country can be curbed from point of entry if all relevant stakeholders synergise towards reducing E-waste in Nigeria. Mr John said Nigeria does not have the capacity to re-cycle E-waste,notwithstanding the enormous wealth that could be generated if E-waste is properly recycled. According to him pollution of underground water is one of the effect of improper disposal of E-waste which would undermine the attainment of the Millinieum Development Goal (MDG) on Africa.

BAR HARBOR — When a lobster management council here voted last month to change the maximum allowed number of traps on a trawl in part of the territory they represent, they thought they were off and running and that a public hearing for a new Department of Marine Resources proposed rule reflecting the change would be scheduled soon.
They learned differently at a special Zone B Council meeting Dec. 20 at Mount Desert Island High School called by DMR Commissioner Patrick Keliher to discuss the issue. Changing requirements for the number of traps on a trawl, he said, requires sending a referendum vote to all the fishermen with licenses in the zone, according to state law.
"If I was going to just say 'no'" to the proposal, Keliher said, "I wouldn't have called a meeting. I'm not here to second guess a unanimous vote of this council. But when it came to me, I wanted to make sure the issue is fully vetted so there are no surprises."
Zone B stretches from the southernmost end of Newbury Neck to Schoodic Point and out past the boundary between state- and federally-managed waters and past Mount Desert Rock.
The proposal is to allow a maximum of five traps on a trawl in more of that area, south to a straight line marked at 675 in the LORAN navigation system. Currently, longer trawls are allowed there, and federal whale protection rules mandate a five-trap minimum in some of it.
Some Islesford and Northeast Harbor fishermen who fish longer trawls in the area oppose the change. Peter Philbrook wrote to the council ahead of the November meeting saying he switched to longer trawls to avoid losing traps to cruise ships. "If I were fishing fives, I would have had even more end lines in the water and my losses would've been even greater."
He's also concerned, he wrote, about fishermen moving to the east or west if the change is adopted, creating more crowding in other areas and gear loss to the herring fleet.
Some of the November meeting was spent in spur-of-the-moment breakout groups, with fishermen gathered around charts to discuss fishing practices in different areas. Philbrook proposed a compromise in which a five-trap maximum could be adopted to the east of Mount Desert Rock but not to the west of a line running north-south near Columbia Ledge.
The referendum will not include that proposal, though, and will ask Zone B fishermen whether they are in favor of a five-trap maximum all the way to the 675 line.
Part of the issue, many contended, is increased fishing activity in the offshore parts of Zone B by fishermen registered in Zone A and Zone C. Fishermen are allowed to fish up to 49 percent of their traps in an adjacent zone.
"Five or six years ago, there were 30,000 'C' traps in Zone B," council Chair David Horner said. "Last year, there were 60,000. If that hadn't happened, it's very possible we wouldn't be here talking about Steve [Philbrook's] trawls."
Starting this year, council member Richard Howland said, Zone A fishermen also will be required to apply for tags to fish in Zone B. That will give the DMR better data about fishing effort in the area.
Bills to limit double tagging (the practice of fishing in an adjacent zone) have floundered in the legislature several times, most recently this past March.
"There's a thousand ways for bills not to be successful," Rep. Brian Hubbell said. "The ones that are successful are the ones where people have done the groundwork ahead of time and been able to build consensus. Now's the time to have those conversations," he said, with Keliher, fishermen in other zones and organizations like the Maine Lobsterman's Association.
"We really need to get it right this time," Howland said after the meeting.

And I've only seen it about ten times before.
And, being the old fart that I am, I can still remember seriously falling in love with Judy Garland when I first saw it in about 1946, when
I was only a whipper-snapper, a mere ankle biter, a rumbustious rug-rat.
And I've only had one tallie too.
Honestly, only one tallie, even if I can't spell thoroughly correctly. (See heading, why no spell checker there?)

WLA joins lawsuit against Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board over rules restricting options for negotiating liquor pricing.
(Oct. 11, 2015) The Washington Lodging Association joined the Washington Restaurant Association in a lawsuit filed last week against the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) over new rules that would restrict options for negotiating liquor prices. Northwest Grocery Association and Costco have also joined the suit.
The rules, which the LCB adopted in September, establish a strict system of uniform quantity discounts for spirits that specify when and how volume discounts can be calculated. Businesses are prohibited from taking advantage of product promotion and pricing specials, including "family plans," and from establishing a customer relationship beyond a single, one-time order. The rules are harmful and unfair to restaurants and hotels, and WLA and the WRA believe the courts will ultimately find the rules to be illegal.
"We think it's pretty simple – price should be determined by the willingness of a customer to pay the price, and the willingness of the buyer to sell at that price, the way it works for 'goods of all kinds,' as permitted under the law," said Bruce Beckett, WRA's Director of Government Affairs.
Over the last two years, the WRA has been in vocal opposition to a barrage of LCB rules that appear to violate Initiative 1183, the liquor sale privatization measure passed in 2011. As a result, the LCB has received dozens of detailed comment letters and heard from more than 150 local restaurants about the harm the rules will cause, including price increases for customers. It is unfortunate that the LCB has not chosen to acknowledge the concerns of these Washington businesses.
"It was frustrating when the LCB violated the law during the implementation of privatization three years ago. But our objections were affirmed in court when the LCB rule to restrict purchasing options for restaurants was overturned," said Beckett. "This will be the second time the Board has ignored the impact on small business, and the second time we ask a court to overturn rules that violate the law and impede restaurants and bars from legally acquiring product to run their business."

GAF to Buy Roofing Co. for $1.1B
In a move to become the largest manufacturer in the global roofing industry, GAF has announced a deal to purchase its Danish peer, Icopal A/S, for €1 billion ($1.08 billion).
GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer, will purchase the company from the private equity firm Investcorp, according to a joint statement issued Monday (Jan. 25).
The deal is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2016.
Founded in 1876 and based in Herlev, Denmark, Icopal is a manufacturer of roofing and waterproofing membranes. The company is described as "the market leader of roof installation services" in the Nordic countries. Icopal was acquired by Bahrain-based Investcorp in 2007.
Based in Parsippany, NJ, GAF is a subsidiary of Standard Industries Inc.—formerly known as Building Materials Corporation of America.
"We are proud to combine Icopal and GAF, two leaders in their respective markets for over 100 years that share a culture of meritocracy, quality and customer service, and a passionate focus on developing their people," said David Millstone and David Winter, co-CEOs of Standard Industries.
According to the announcement, the merger will create "one of the world's leading roofing and waterproofing companies" with 65 manufacturing plants, 6,500 employees, and an annual combined turnover of nearly $4 billion.
About Icopal
Icopal operates 30 manufacturing sites, 84 offices in Europe and North America and employs around 4,000 people. The company has annual revenue of about $1.08 billion.
Icopal's product line includes construction materials for buildings and other structures and is primarily used in non-residential applications across Europe. Icopal's operations and sales are currently concentrated in some of Europe's largest economic regions including Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Scandinavia, the announcement said.
The company's various brands include Icopal, Siplast, Vedag, Wolfin and Villas. In the United States, Icopal's Siplast business has achieved a leading position in the high-end bitumen membrane segment of the commercial roofing market, the companies said. Siplast will continue to operate as an independent premium roofing manufacturer with an emphasis on a high level of frontline service, the joint announcement added.
About GAF
GAF, founded in 1886, makes steep-slope, commercial roofing systems and other products. The company has annual sales of around $3 billion, approximately 3,000 employees and 29 manufacturing facilities.
Standard Industries is a global diversified industrial holding company.
|Quest Construction Products
In September, GAF acquired Quest Construction Products, the largest supplier of fluid-applied roofing systems and roof coating products.
News of the Icopal deal comes less than five months after GAF's acquisition of Quest Construction Products, of Charleston, SC, the largest supplier of fluid-applied roofing systems and roof coating products.
Additional Comments
Bob Tafaro, president and CEO of GAF, added that the company respects Icopal's management team and welcomes them to the GAF family.
Further, Tafaro said he is "encouraged" by Icopol's growth in synthetic and liquid products and by its strategic vision.
"GAF's long tradition of innovation, commitment to top quality and customer focus will complement Icopal's strengths and values," Miguel Kohlmann, CEO of Icopal, commented. "Our customers will benefit from enhanced scale, greater breadth of products and services, improved product innovation and an unparalleled global distribution network."

Opis: Build custom robots in your browser with Incrobots! Design your robot by drawing shapes, joints, motors and more! Then, pilot your machine using your own custom key bindings. Compete in challenges or create them yourself for others to solve. Save replays and embed them anywhere as movies. Use the editor to tell animated stories, create Rube Goldberg machines, or just experiment and have fun with physics!
Based on Incredibots which gone off-line december 2010. New features have been added and online saving is back !
Instrukcije: 1) Main Menu When you start the game, you'll be greeted with the Main Menu. From there, you'll decide if you want to get learning (Levels), thinking (Challenges), or just building to your heart's content (Sandbox). At the top-left corner of the Main Menu, you'll find the Load Replay, Load Bot, and Sandbox buttons. Each of these, of course, will begin their respective modes, but before we get into those, let's talk a bit more about the foundations of the game! If it's your first time playing, you'll probably want to play around in the Levels first, as they'll effectively teach you how to build robots and make use of the game's physics engine. You'll learn the basics and mechanics of the game through playing all eight levels; choose any level you like; there is no penalty for going out of order! Levels can be selected from the table of buttons at the top-right part of the Main Menu. Once you're familiar with how the game works and how robots can be built, you'll probably want to flex your brain a bit and customise your own robot in one of the nine Challenges, each of which is listed in the large table on the lower-half of the screen, along with the difficulty levels you'll get to choose from for each task. Each Challenge has a specific objective that must be reached, and you'll only have a certain number of Credits to build your robot with in order to meet those goals. Oh, and you'll be timed as well – but better times lead to greater bragging rights among your fellow Incrobots Builders, so practice makes perfect! As you might expect, each of the nine Challenges has three difficulty levels to choose from, with the harder levels adding difficulty by limiting how much material you can use in the construction of your robot. But hey – you're smart, you'll figure it out! Finally, there's the Sandbox Mode, a place where you can really give your imaginative gears a grind! Sandbox Mode is the big empty canvas of Incrobots, where you get to supply the paint: you can make any robot or wild contraption-device-object you'd like, and once you've built it, you'll be able to film it using the Replay function! 2) The Robot Building Screen After selecting any of the three game modes (Levels, Challenges, Sandbox), you will find yourself at The Robot Building Screen. From here, you will be constructing all of your robots and machines, from the ground up! Your options and materials are represented in the buttons displayed on the toolbar at the top of the screen, with the creation tools being displayed as the group of blue buttons. If you'd like to take a look at the environment that's been generated for you to play around in, simply click your mouse cursor anywhere in the worldview, hold down the mouse button, and drag around to your heart's content! (This will come in quite handy for the harder modes.) Alternatively, you can use your keyboard's arrow keys to pan the view. And, in the toolbar at the top of the screen, you'll see buttons that will allow you to Zoom In and Out. At the very top of the screen, you'll see the drop-down menus. They are: File, Edit, View, Share!, and Help. "File" will allow you to save robots and replays, log in to the online Incrobots database, and view your High Scores. The "Edit" menu provides shortcuts for manipulating your shapes, objects, and robots (Cut/Copy/Paste/Undo/etc.). The "View" menu will help you gain some new perspective on your robot and the world around it; allowing you to Zoom In or Out, Show Joints/Colours/Outlines, Center on a selected object, and Snap to Center. ("Snap to Center" is a very significant option to be aware of, as having it checked will allow you to place joints exactly in the center of circles. Turning it off can also be handy at times; for example, if you wanted to place a joint near the center of an object, but not precisely on it.) The "Share!" menu will allow you to comment on a robot on the forums, link to a saved copy of the robot, or embed it in your website or blog. The "Help" menu will hopefully lead to a solution for whatever problem you're having with the game! When you're ready to start building your robot, you'll want to click on either the Circle, Rectangle, or Triangle buttons to lay your basic foundations for the robot. (**REMEMBER: This is a physics-based game, so try to avoid creating robot parts and bodies that are too large, as that will make them heavier and the motors you'll be equipping on your 'bots may not be able to move such large/heavy shapes!) If you want to draw a Circle, Rectangle, or Triangle, after you've clicked the corresponding button you'll want to click your mouse in the main view window and drag the mouse to make the object as large or as small as you'd like. When drawing Triangles, you will need to set the three points of the object; just click once for each point, anywhere on the main window. Now that you've got your shape and its size all settled, you'll notice that a menu has popped up on the left-hand side of the screen, allowing you to further manipulate your nice new objects by altering their density, enabling the camera to focus on and track the movements of a particular object (which can be very important for replays), changing their colour and appearance, and rotating, cutting-copying, and deleting them. (**IMPORTANT: in the world of Incrobots, copy-pasting is handled as follows: after you've clicked on the "Copy" button, you will need to click the "Paste" button along the top toolbar, and then you will need to click the spot on the main level screen where you want the copied object to be pasted!) The density of a selected object can be adjusted using the menu's sliders or by entering a number in the density text box. Lower density objects are very important for lighter robot parts; however, higher density objects can make aspects of your robot heavier, which can be very important in resolving grounding and balancing issues. NOTE: Low density objects and high density objects will cost you more credits in Challenge mode! Objects that are of a "medium" density will consume the fewest number of credits. While not as significant, the appearance of your objects can also be fully adjusted; from the colors and outlines to the opacity. If you'd like to render an object invisible, enter a zero ("0") in the Opacity text box; this can be handy for making invisible rigging for your movies, or for making crazy contraptions a la Rube Goldberg. 2-A) Joint Problems? Joint Solutions! Once you have your body-objects made, you'll need to get them attached and functional! To do that, we've given you three Joints to choose from when creating your robots: Fixed Joints, which attach one body-object to another with an inflexible "weld"-type joint. If you want to use this in your robot, click the blue "Fixed Joint" button and then click to place it, ideally someplace where you want to attach two objects together with no motion involved! Selecting a previously placed Fixed Joint will bring up an options menu on the left-hand side of the screen; from there, you'll be able to delete the joint. Rotating Joints, which attach two body-objects together and will allow rotation of one part relative to another. For example, two circles attached to a rectangle via Rotating Joints could create a basic wagon or car. To create one, click the blue "Rotating Joint" button and click on an overlapping portion of the objects you want to apply the joint to. To give power to the joint, click the "Enable Motor" checkbox in the options menu which will be displayed on the left-hand side of the screen. Then, assign keys to control the motor by clicking the "Rotate CW" and "Rotate CCW" text boxes and then pressing the desired control key. In this way, you can assign any key on your keyboard to make the rotating joint move clockwise or counter-clockwise. Or, if you'd prefer to have your motor always on, you can click either the Auto-On CW or Auto-On CCW checkbox, to have the motor continuously rotate in the desired direction. Additionally, you'll be able to tweak said motor(s) by their strength and speed; for example, slower, stronger motors are handy for making rotating parts like controlled lifting arms. Rotating Joints can also be held rigid by unchecking the Floppy Joint checkbox; the joint will then not rotate at all unless you press the assigned motor control key. The final Rotating Joint options are their rotation limits; these allow you to set the lower and upper limits, in degrees (0 to 360), at which the joint will stop rotating. These limits can be used to ensure that the joint will only rotate between specific points, and will prevent the joint from achieving continuous 360-degree rotation. Sliding Joints, which will attach two body-objects together and will allow one part to slide relative to the other, like a piston, pogo stick, or jackhammer. To create one, click the blue "Sliding Joint" button, and then click twice: Once on each of the two objects you would like to join. Note: the distance between your two click points will determine the size of the created piston. For Sliding Joints, the left-hand options menu will allow you to adjust the Piston Strength, Piston Speed, and the control keys used to cause the joint to Expand and Contract. Additionally, you will also have an option for your joint to "auto-oscillate," as opposed to having to press control keys to get the joint to do its thing. You can also change the joint's color and add or remove the joint's outlines. All joints can be cut, copied, and pasted, using the usual Cut, Copy, and Paste buttons in the toolbar. Simply click on a joint, cut or copy it, then click "Paste" and click again to specify a location for the joint (click twice for sliding joints). The cut/copied joint will have the same settings as its parent joint; this can save time if you're creating a lot of joints with similar settings! NOTE: All of the above joints will consume credits when used in challenge mode. Enabling motors, increasing motor strength, and other options, will increase credit consumption further, so tweak with care! To see how many credits you are being charged for a joint, select it. The credit cost will be displayed at the lower-left corner of the screen. 2-B) Group Selection & Dealing With Multiple Objects In the Robot Building Screen screen, you select an object/shape by clicking on it; and if multiple objects are overlapping, you'll want to keep on clicking until the game highlights the object you want. To move a shape, click, hold, and drag it, releasing the mouse button when you have the cursor in the place where you want to put the object. Keep in mind that any other objects attached via joints will be moved as well; if you want to move jointed objects individually, you will need to delete the corresponding connecting joints first. If you have multiple robot parts to work with, there are two ways to move things in groups. The first method is to hold down the Shift key and click on each item that you want to manipulate. The alternate method is to hold the Shift key, and then click and drag a selection box around the objects you want to manipulate. Once you've got your objects selected using either method, an options menu will pop up, allowing you to further manipulate your objects by rotating, cutting-copying, and deleting them. 2-C) Inserting and Displaying Text By now, you've probably also noticed the blue Text button in the toolbar near the top of the screen. This will allow you to insert various text messages that can be displayed during replays. If you're using Incrobots to make a machinima movie, this will be quite handy for things like dialogue and narration; if you're making customised levels and/or robots, you'll find it has its uses for providing instructions to those who'll be playing with your toys! (And yes, it's precisely what we've used in the construction of our own replays and tutorial Levels!) To place your text, click the Text button, then you'll want to place your text box somewhere in the level by clicking on your desired spot. (You can also click and drag to create a text box of your chosen size if you'd like. Your text box can be resized at any time by clicking and dragging any of the four corners.) Type up your lovely text in the box that will be displayed in the menu that will appear on the left-hand side of the screen; and while you're there, feel free to play around with the size and colors. You'll also notice a checkbox that says, "Scale With Zoom"; enabling this will determine whether the text will change its font size automatically when you zoom in or out of the screen, or if it will stay the same size no matter how far in or out you are. In addition, you'll see a box that says "Always Display"; this option will enable your words to stay on the screen permanently for the duration of the level, or, if unchecked, will allow you to trigger the actual display of the text you've written via the your assigned control keys. If you'd like to have the text display itself via control keys, un-check the "Always Display" box, and then click on the "Display Text Key" text box in the left-hand menu, and input your desired key. Different keystrokes can be assigned to different text boxes, and you'll be able to have as many lines of dialogue and instructions as you'd like, so don't hold back! 3) Play! And then play around with Replays! Alright, you've built, revised, re-built, re-designed, and otherwise regard your robot as ready for fun. Time to get on with the other significant aspect of Incrobots: the gameplay! After you're finished with the Robot Building Screen, hit the "Play!" button and your robot will be sent to the field. At this point, every thing you do with your bot will be recorded by the software. (But don't worry, we won't be spying on you! Promise!) At this point you'll have some new options appear at the top of the screen for you to play around with. First, you'll want to get familiar with the "Zoom" buttons, as they'll allow you to zoom in or out of the action in real-time as you're controlling your robot (very handy for getting a feel for the level and its objectives). Any changes you make to your Zoom level will be kept as part of the replay, along with any other changes that are made to where the camera's perspective is set. (Don't forget that you can alter the screen's position on the level by clicking and dragging at any time!) The "Pause" button will allow you to stop and take a break, or plan your next course of action with your robot. This can be quite useful if you want to take advantage of the ability to pan or zoom without losing control of your robot, or stop and think without losing time from the Timer during Challenges. When you're done, just hit "Resume" to continue. If you like, you can use this opportunity to Comment (on the game's forums), or take your robot's replay and share it with the world by Linking to, or Embedding your replay in your own website or blog! If you're done playing around in the level for any reason, simply hit either the "Stop Simulation" or "Save Replay" buttons. Finishing a Challenge or introductory Level will open up some new options to you: Viewing a Replay of what you've just done, Saving a Replay, or Submitting your Score to the worldwide high score List.

This article will detail how to extend store credit to your customers. It is important to note that this is a line of credit you will be extending to your customers, which will allow them to leave the premises without making payment. You will be required to collect payment from them at a later date. This differs from prepaid store credit, which allows your customers to add credit to their account for use at a later date. Prepaid store credit is detailed in this support article.
This process will require you to have store credit enabled at the register level, which is detailed in another article, found here.
Each customer must have a credit limit set. To do this, first go to the back office and locate the customer card for the customer you want to extend credit to. In the gray bar on the left-hand side, under Sales, you will find the relevant settings for extending store credit. At the very least, you will need to set a Payment Deadline and Credit Limit. If you do not wish to use a deadline, you can set the deadline to 0.
After you have done this, save your changes. You'll note that the credit limit and available credit are now shown at the top of the customer card, and you can run a balance report.
To tender a sale with Store Credit, first select the customer in the POS, then ring the items as you normally would. Hitting the Pay button at the end of the sale will show you the customer's credit limit at the top of the popup window, and clicking the Store Credit button will put the sale towards the customer's credit. After you have done this, click the checkmark button to complete the sale.
The receipt will reflect that this sale was added to the customer's store account.
Running a balance report from the customer card in the back office will now reflect the sale we just put through.
To generate a list of everything due on all customer store credit accounts, go to Reports>Overdue Invoices, and select Customers Total Due.

What Is the California Divorce Process?
A divorce, also known as a dissolution of marriage, is a taxing procedure, especially if children and child custody matters are involved. We understand our clients do not make this decision lightly, so we aim to guide them through the legal process as efficiently as possible. We also believe it's important for our clients to fully understand their rights as it pertains to family law.
In the state of California, the start of the divorce process is as follows:
- File for divorce by filing with the court for the dissolution of your marriage
- Give a reason for the divorce, which does not need to be specific; "irreconcilable differences" will suffice
- File with statistical information about both parties
- Summon your spouse by a process server
- Your spouse has 30 days to admit, deny, or correct the information in the petition
The best and easiest outcome is always an uncontested divorce in which both parties agree to the divorce terms without having to turn to the court for resolution. This is also the fastest and most inexpensive way to handle a divorce, especially if you have questions on what are grounds for divorce in California.
If you know you and your spouse are unlikely to agree to the same terms, it is highly recommended that you get an experienced attorney who will guide you through this process. Our founder, Robert K. Holmes, is a Certified Family Law Specialist, making him an expert in this area of law. He and our legal team can help if you have questions on how to apply for divorce.

It has been said (by the ubiquitous "they") that the best way to keep a relationship, romantic or platonic, on an even keel is to avoid talking about sex, money and politics. But where's the fun in that?
As a cozy writer, I am not allowed to write about sex, beyond a steamy liplock and a gently closing door. Likewise, as a cozy writer I don't make a whole lot of money, so I don't have much to say about that.
Which leaves politics. I confess: I have worked on several political campaigns in my life, as both a volunteer and as a paid staff member. This was not based on any deep-seated conviction or philosophy--I just figured I'd better get a first-hand look of something that occupies a major place in our social consciousness. I'm glad I did, and the experience I gained there has stood me in good stead.
It would appear that the campaign season has already started, if the television ads, telephone calls and multipart letters are any indication. Thank goodness for the mute button and the caller ID function, which lets you silence the storm. But wait! Isn't the next federal election NEXT YEAR? All these people are jockeying for position for something that won't happen for eighteen months?
Based on my in-depth experience (note: in all the campaigns I worked for, my candidate lost), it's easier to watch this process as a big game. On the one hand we have the incumbent. Conventional wisdom holds that the incumbent has a distinct advantage, because (a) s/he has name recognition among constitutents, and (b) s/he is ideally situated to raise money, which is the lifeblood of any political campaign. But pity the poor representative, who, facing a two-year term, must start raising money for the next campaign before s/he is even sworn in.
Then there are the contenders for the opposition, and here's where it is really interesting this year: they are coming out in droves. A full spectrum, from conservative to moderate, from highly qualified to absurd. And they're all out there now, stalking the country, buying chunks of air time, making outrageous statements for benefit of the local newshounds and hoping that a major network will pay attention. It's like watching a seething pot of stew: a bubble/candidate rises to the top and then bursts, soon to be followed by another one--a process that ends only when the stew is reduced to sludge or burnt to a crisp.
And this will go on for how long? Don't get me wrong: this is our system, and we've got to love it. Sure, it's unwieldy and darned expensive, but it's what we've got. Changing it is all but impossible. I recall writing a thoughtful paper about electoral college reform when I was in college. I'm coming up on my 40th reunion, and how much has changed in the electoral college? Nothing.
If you want to haul this discussion back to the literary realm, in my opinion Primary Colors, by Anonymous Joe Klein, best captures the mood within a major campaign. Voters would like to believe there is a campaign plan in place, and competent people who are executing it. Uh, not exactly, or not all the time. But that's what makes it so much fun--the energy, the excitement, the high stakes involved. In a way it's surprising there are not more good novels about politics, because all the elements are there--sex, money, and politics. And conflict, and resolution, if not a happily-ever-after ending. And if you're writing the book, you can speed it up!
[Aren't you glad I didn't talk about Rep. Weiner's weiner?]

So what part do you think scandal-mongering is going to play in the next election? It seems to be the way we judge candidates now... we like 'em until some skeleton looms up from their not-quite-locked closet.

This early phase of a presidential campaign always makes me want to move to another planet. Often the later phases provoke the same desire. Oh, how I wish we could be more civilized and realistic about government.

I know we should view it as a game, except that there is so very much at stake. And oh, the HYPOCRISY!!!
And nowadays, no one has to show genuine remorse for their wrongs. They just have to stand defiantly at a podium and endure the onslaught of lights and cameras, and then wait for it to die down.

What surprises me is that politicians think it's possible to hide anything in this electronic age. It's amazing that Edwards managed to keep as much as he did under wraps--could he do that now? Even with complicit people (staffers or spouses), there's still a trail if people want to look for it--and these days they do. And then watch them spin...

Note to a wanna-be Nutzi.
Dear Phil,
If you are going to apologize for doing something, then please do not do it to begin with.
Thank you.
All White men on Earth.
"Squeezing all of Europe into one political/financial/military organization creates unnecessary tensions which could be avoided in a looser and less homogeneous association." (leon)
But without some such union the possibility of nationalist wars between European states increases. It would be a tragedy if after Europe was freed of the globalist yoke, it started warring internally. There's a balance that must be found between complete sovereignty and total integration.
I realize this is blasphemy to some White Nationalists, but I believe there is something beyond "the Jews" in the world that are just as much the enemies of Euro-kind (and all humans) than the Jews could ever be. Even after the Jewish power structure is neutralized, we must be watchful of forces manipulating nationalist energies against ourselves or using us to try to conquer the non-White world.
One of the keys to maintaining harmony between Europe's nations will be collective projects. The exploration and colonization of space is the major one. The other is environmental clean up projects of the earth (like the Pacific garbage patch). Another would be a major effort to grow only organic foods or as near as possible to organic foods while outlawing GMOs.
But our major "great work" or responsibility is the cultivation of better people. And when I say "better people" I'm talking about bringing out the most positive character traits and virtues of the people (honor, humility, honesty, selflessness, discipline, manners, confidence, patience, inner peace, graciousness, appreciation of high culture, etc.). These character traits are what matters most.
We could build an intergalactic empire, but if the people are selfish, materialistic, egocentric, nervous, envious, rapacious, duplicitous, etc then it could be potentially extremely dangerous. Even before we can start exploring the universe I think we need a few generations socialized under a "regimen of virtue."
But back to the original point. We must find a way to maintain as much sovereignty as possible while having an apparatus in place that would prevent inter-Euro conflicts.
Northern Europeans are better than Mediterraneans at creating wealth. Northern Euros aren't going to want to prop them up.
Currently, Northern Europeans are better than Southern Europeans at creating wealth. Northern Euros aren't going to want to prop them up.
We see a young Swedish nationalist who defines himself as a Scandinavian nationalist, who states "the European people are our brothers," who travels around Europe, who meets with and learns from nationalists in places as varied as France, Italy, Ukraine, Poland, and the Baltic states, and who understands that the problem is wider than that of any one European nation or area, and needs to be resolved at the level of Europe as a whole.
A Danish teenager who was sexually assaulted near a migrant asylum centre has been told she will be prosecuted after using pepper spray to fend off her attacker. The 17-year-old told police she was targeted in the coastal town of Sonderborg by an English-speaking man, who knocked her to the ground and tried to undress her…However, as it is illegal to use pepper spray, the teenage girl is set to face charges. It is likely she will face a 500 Krone (£50) fine Local police spokesman Knud Kirsten told TV Syd: 'It is illegal to possess and use pepper spray, so she will likely to be charged for that.' The man who attacked the girl fled from the scene and has not yet been charged. It is unclear if the man was an asylum seeker or refugee.
His signature issue is concern over immigration–from Latin America but also, after Paris and San Bernardino, from the Middle East. He has exploited the yawning gap between elite opinion in both parties and the public on the issue, and feasted on the discontent over a government that can't be bothered to enforce its own laws no matter how many times it says it will (President Obama has dispensed even with the pretense). But even on immigration, Trump often makes no sense and can't be relied upon. A few short years ago, he was criticizing Mitt Romney for having the temerity to propose "self-deportation," or the entirely reasonable policy of reducing the illegal population through attrition while enforcing the nation's laws. Now, Trump is a hawk's hawk.
He pledges to build a wall along the southern border and to make Mexico pay for it. We need more fencing at the border, but the promise to make Mexico pay for it is silly bluster. Trump says he will put a big door in his beautiful wall, an implicit endorsement of the dismayingly conventional view that current levels of legal immigration are fine.
Trump seems unaware that a major contribution of his own written immigration plan is to question the economic impact of legal immigration and to call for reform of the H-1B–visa program. Indeed, in one Republican debate he clearly had no idea what's in that plan and advocated increased legal immigration, which is completely at odds with it. These are not the meanderings of someone with well-informed, deeply held views on the topic.
As for illegal immigration, Trump pledges to deport the 11 million illegals here in the United States, a herculean administrative and logistical task beyond the capacity of the federal government. Trump piles on the absurdity by saying he would re-import many of the illegal immigrants once they had been deported, which makes his policy a poorly disguised amnesty (and a version of a similarly idiotic idea that appeared in one of Washington's periodic "comprehensive" immigration reforms). This plan wouldn't survive its first contact with reality.
The most obvious part is that the rule of law will have, for all intents and purposes, ended in the United States. Equal justice flew out the window. How does the public react to that? A good portion of it will roll over, but a certain percentage will not. Their reactions will be contingent on a number of things -- whether Clinton is elected anyway (unlikely at this point, but possible), the steadfastness of opposition politicians and media, etc.
But in the final analysis, a democracy cannot exist without the consent of the governed. For that percentage in opposition, consent will have broken down pretty much completely. Then what? Civil war? That's perhaps a bit excessive, but civil wars can be of various types and evolve in different ways. All kinds of things could break down, which could result in anything from general disobedience to the law to mass tax refusal. Millions would no longer respect the system.
Loretta Lynch, Obama, et al, are actually facing a giant tinderbox, whether they know it or not. This is not your average Yogi Berra fork in the road. People fixate these days on the Black Lives Matter movement or on "social justice" activism on campus that is dominated by self-described "progressives" appalled by "microagressions" and such like. But what if the American heartland rebels? Left-wing rebellion in our culture has always been dependent on the center holding; it's a kind of play rebellion, college kids taking over a park while daddy pays their allowance. But suppose daddy started to rebel? That would be, as the saying goes, a whole other ball of wax.
The Russian President added that the situation of Russian Jews was currently the best of any place in Europe.
This would be far from the first time that Putin has made such comments at a Jewish gathering. In July of 2014 he thanked a gathering of prominent Israeli and European rabbis for what he categorized as their "help in Russia's fight against the revival of Nazism." In fact, Putin's magnanimous offer was the latest gambit in the contentious leveraging of the issue of anti-Semitism in the continuing Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
In our time, European women are disrespected and sexually assaulted in broad daylight and in the middle of the street and no action is taken. It's not because European men are not willing to defend them. It's because European governments, with their guns, laws, and police, are on the side of the migrants.
No doubt, there are some Ashkenazi Jews and part-Jews (e.g., "White Advocate") who self-identify as White, Western, and European, and who sincerely wish to promote Western survival. We can welcome them and their contributions.
The grotesque acts that occurred on New Year's Eve were not isolated incidents, but happened nationwide with the earmarks of single intentioned flash mobs operating in numbers too large to control and overtaxing the law enforcement personnel available to deal with it.
Some of the ones who were detained told police that they couldn't do anything to them, that they had been invited into Germany by Ms. Merkel, as if that was a license to harass and abuse the girls without consequences.
A million people from another culture, who practice another religion, who have no regard for women's rights and who believe that Western Society is decadent, who refuse to assimilate and don't believe they are bound by the laws of the host country, is a lot to turn loose on any society at one time, and New Year's Eve was just a small harbinger of things to come. Even if the troublemakers represent just 2 percent of the population of refugees, that is still approximately 20,000 people that can cause a lot of problems for Germany.
This is before the terrorist component has made itself known. Merkel, in her rush to out politically correct other world leaders has imported the agents of death into her country. The genie is out of the bottle, and German children will suffer the ramifications of Angela Merkel's folly for generations to come. In rejecting a 200,000 limit on the number of refugees entering the country, it seems Merkel plans to allow even more refugees in 2016.
It's too late for Germany. They have opened the zoo, and lions walk among them. Soon the terror attacks will begin, and the Muslim population explosion will, in relatively few years, create a significant voting block that will grow exponentially. Unlike native Germans who abort millions of their unborn each year, most Muslims don't practice abortion, and their tradition of having multiple children per family only accelerates the process.
I'm not aware of any 'yellow supremacy' going on here. Furthermore, this is the second time you've asked me to remove it, if I count your first request as being the one that was sent via Thorn in a comment here that has since been removed.
But wait, you don't know who Thorn is, I thought?So you don't know Thorn, but he's carrying messages for you?
Of course, because of the way that the world has developed, we can't spend our time constantly trying to kill each other for frivolous reasons, when co-operation in areas of shared interest is so much more lucrative. The threat to the integrity of European population groups is a serious threat with implications that stretch beyond Europe's borders, and so it's only natural that many Asian people would have an interest in working with Europeans. I have a feeling that you won't quote this paragraph when/if you respond to me, but surprise me and do it.
I don't seem to recall anyone at Majorityrights arguing in favour of Chinese colonisation of white lands either.
Sacrosanct European territories in the Americas, Australia and New Zealand will likely need to become smaller at any rate in order to be maintained and defended. But with the increased manageability of defense will come an opportunity to offer cooperation to Asians to have some sacrosanct territories of their own in these places.
We already have Chinatowns. Now there could be some intermittently disbursed along the borders of the Mediterranean and among European cities with border and migrant control an explicit part of their mandate.
Yes, the UK's leadership deliberately and consciously siding with international motherfucking Jews…
Or, we 'craftily' realised that after the undeclared border war in 1938—1939 in Manchuria, it was going to be impossible to actually win against the Soviet Union unless Japan could first carve out and secure an economic zone to the south, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, which necessitated the removal of the United States Navy and the myriad British installations in that region, so that the liberal international cunts couldn't just shut down all of Japan's productive capacity in a day.
Are you fucking kidding me?
We already do know what the 'right choice' is. The USSR was destroyed, and then it degenerated into a capitalist restoration federation staffed by a collection of bloated ex-Stalinist thugs, who we will also systematically destroy.
…and you are hyperventilating about the tiny to negligible number of business-orientated and well-educated Asians who are inside the western world right now?
I don't know if you fucking noticed…
…but there's a literal swarm of crazed Arabs and Africans rampaging around in continental Europe right now like diseased gibbering monkeys, and you are meanwhile complaining about Asians?
To make a long story short - I can't speak for Salter, but my impression is that he wants to appeal to more mainstream and conservative elements. So, I don't think it's optimal to have him on a more radical site like MR.
Thank you very much. I understand what you are saying. We are going to proceed with contact with Dr Salter, but with great care for his own interests. Reason being that there are a couple of serious questions that should be put to him, and will not be by anybody else. I want him to judge the issue of his contact to us on the intellectual merit of the subjects under discussion, as well as by our repute.

After the two countries' national anthems, the audience enjoyed famous musical pieces from around the world performed by artists of the NHK Symphony Orchestra.
The concert also featured famous German violinist Christian Tetzlaff, while the orchestra was led by Japanese conductor Michiyoshi Inoue.
The concert was part of a series of activities celebrating 45 years of bilateral diplomatic relations.
A similar concert took place in Ho Chi Minh City on September 5.
The Vietnam - Japan bilateral relationship is now in its best period in history since the establishment of diplomatic relationship 45 years ago. The senior leaders of the two sides have maintained regular visits and meetings at international and regional forums.
The bilateral partnership in security-defence, agriculture, education-training, and labour has also been fruitful. People-to-people exchanges, and cultural and tourism affiliation have also seen strong development.
