In rural West Bengal, India, many people harbor the strange belief that if they have been bitten by a dog, they have become pregnant with its puppies. The fearful victims run to a witch doctor, who administers yogurt and herbs and tells them they are no longer pregnant.
My coaching client Sara had agreed to a business dinner with a fellow she found quite difficult to work with after she made the appointment. Now, the morning before the dinner, she was looking for a way to get out of it.
My coaching client Andrea has struggled with issues of lack and poor self-worth for a lot of her life. Although she is smart, spiritual, and attractive, she has regularly feared that she would become impoverished and bereft.
A seminar participant asked me, "How can I let in more love from my girlfriend?" I told him, "It's not your girlfriend's love you need to let in. It's your own love you need to let out."
I recently watched a touching documentary, Tea with the Dames, an intimate chat between four legendary British actresses, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Joan Plowright, and Eileen Atkins, all of whom have been knighted.
Can you imagine being an adopted child reunited with your birth mother after 60 years? My friend Diane signed up for a genealogy research service, did a DNA test, and found that she had a cousin unknown to her family.
As we enter the New Year, we all hope this year will be better than the last one, and new and wonderful things will come to us. We seek to improve our worldly situations and become better people.
For a few hours each month, all of these people rise above their social identities and come together as equals on the same playing field. What a model for how good it can get if we let it!
Do you believe that the universe operates at random, or is there a higher intelligence that orchestrates encounters, events, and a stream of destiny?
A true teacher does not inculcate students to replicate the teacher, but instead inspires students to discover their own greatness and bring it forth. It is said, "A true teacher makes himself progressively more unnecessary." The word "education" derives from the Latin educare, "to draw forth from within."

VANET is an emerging mobile ad hoc network paradigm that facilitates vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. The most important application of the VANET is for driving safety. Road condition-awareness is critical for driving safety. Existing VANET-based systems usually assume drivers detect and report safety related road conditions, which however may be untrue because, drivers may not be willing to perform these duties, or such duties may distract drivers and thus make driving even unsafe. Therefore, automatic detection without human intervention is desired. As the first contribution of this thesis work, an automatic road condition detection system has been designed based on the idea of collecting and analysing the footprints of vehicles to infer anomaly. It has also been studied how to utilize inexpensive roadside devices, such as sensors, to facilitate the information collection and analysis, especially in the absence of connectivity between vehicles.
Due to the difficulty of conducting large-scale experiments on real roads, simulation plays an important role in VANET research. To make simulation close to the reality, it is desired to include detailed and realistic simulation of vehicle behaviour under various road conditions, and this is especially needed for studies targeted at driving safety. In the past, however, the simulation of vehicle behaviours are often overly simplified and implemented as a trivial extension of the network simulator. As a second contribution of this thesis work, a detailed and realistic simulator of vehicle behaviour has been developed based on the car-following and lane-changing models.
As the simulation of vehicle behaviour and that of communication behaviour are different tasks, they should be implemented separately for better modularity and meanwhile they should be seamlessly integrable. As another contribution of this thesis work, the online and seamless integration of vehicle behaviour simulator and network simulator has been studied. Specifically, a set of APIs has been designed and implemented atop the vehicular behaviour simulator to facilitate its integration with network simulator. Being a concrete example, the integration of ns2 and SUMO, an open-source vehicular behaviour simulator, has been implemented, and applied to simulate an electric vehicular network.

Start A Blog
The very first step to making money online is to start a blog. Before you even begin coding the next billion dollar startup, you should think about starting a blog. There are many reasons behind this strategy, as discussed in my post "8 Steps To Avoid Startup Doom", but the most important one is to start attracting the people who will be interested in your products. A blog is not only a great way to generate online income it's also a great tool to float your product ideas and get useful feedback. It provides a way to build that list of people who will give you feedback and perspective on your ideas. These are your loyal followers who will become your early adopters and eventually the champions of your product when it takes off.
Your newsletter, social media accounts and other marketing efforts should all point back to your blog, which serves as the main place where people can go to connect with you and your products. Whether your goal is to have a side hustle, be a solopreneur or to grow to a large company, your blog is the starting place. Even the lean startup methodology says to "figure out the problem that needs to be solved and then develop a minimum viable product (MVP) to begin the process of learning as quickly as possible". A blog is one of the best tools you can use in this discovery process.
Follow the steps below to get your blog up and running in no time.
Select a great domain name
Keep it short. Most one word .com domain names are taken. Therefore, try to keep it to 2-3 words.
Keep it simple. Make it easy to spell and remember. No dashes or other special characters.
Keep it relevant. Using keywords in the domain name helps people recognize your site and helps with search engine optimization too.
Avoid numbers, dashes, misspellings, brand names and trademarks in your domain name.
Create social media accounts
Once you find the perfect domain name the next step is to check social media account availability. Use your domain name as the username to check availability on these popular social media sites.
YouTube (Google), Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, SnapChat, Tumblr, Pinterest, Flickr
Your domain name may not be available as a username on all of theses sites, but try to register an account on at least the first four: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Bonus if it's also available on the others.
Select a hosting provider
Different web hosting options are available. You can choose between shared hosting (typically the cheapest), a virtual private server (VPS), cloud instances or a dedicated server (most expensive). Your website files need to reside on some type of web server and each have their advantages and disadvantages. The type of server you choose should be based on what's important to you. Is it cost, location, availability or control?
Different hosting providers exist as well. These are my top three recommendations. It's really easy to install WordPress on all of them.
I've been with A2Hosting since 2005. Their speeds and uptime are incredible and their support is top-notch. Plus they offer free SSL certificates. The A2 in A2Hosting is a tribute to their hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan. You can't go wrong with this hosting provider.
BlueHost is one of the largest website hosting providers and they power millions of websites. The best thing about BlueHost is the amount of features they offer. You name it, they support it. There's Python, Perl, PHP, eCommerce carts, free scripts, etc. Plus their hosting is extremely affordable.
AWS is a leading cloud provider offering cloud based web hosting solutions. The benefits of AWS are broad platform support (including WordPress), worldwide datacenters, extreme scalability to support your site as it grows and very flexible pricing models a.k.a. pay as you go. AWS has options for everyone from those looking for turnkey solutions to the professional developer.
Register your domain name
Some companies are primarily domain registrars that also provide website hosting services (GoDaddy, NameCheap). Others are primarily website hosting companies that also offer registrar services (A2Hosting, BlueHost). Most often the decision of which one to select comes down to saving money or streamlining services. To save money you'll most likely want to register your domain names with NameCheap. GoDaddy tends to charge around $1 more for the same domain name. NameCheap also honors excellent domain name renewal coupons so you can get discounted prices at checkout.
Most website hosting providers also offer domain registrar services. They tend to have more costly reregistration fees. However, some can offer very lucrative domain registration incentives. Take BlueHost for example. They provide free domain registration when you sign up
for a hosting account.
Recommendation: First, register your name as a domain name. Most hosting accounts require a primary domain name to open an account. Use yourname.com to do this. Then you can add more domains to that existing account as you validate your product ideas and create MVPs.

"(I) know there are very supportive fundamentals, but prices rose by 50-60 per cent in three to four years in the early part of this decade, with largely unchanged fundamentals, so they can have a life of their own.But meanwhile, back at the ranch:
"And given what's happened elsewhere I'm far less sanguine about this - and the interplay with debt - than in the past."
A spokesman for Wayne Swan said yesterday the Treasurer retained the view that Australia did not have a property bubble, citing recent reports and statements by Westpac and the RBA. "Of course, we expect our officials to test and debate policy within the department - it is an important and normal process of government," the spokesman said. "However, it is the considered position of the Treasurer and the Treasury that our housing market reflects the fundamentals of supply and demand and not a bubble - specifically that Australia is simply not building enough new houses."

"Pulled a hamstring playing twister. Thought I'd walk it off." - Dr. House, House, M.D.
A granite statue of Sam Houston. This statue never pulled a hamstring. Darn statues, anyway.
There was a TV show back near the dawn of
I feel that way.
I think it started with the fire ants.
I was minding my own business, trimming the hedges (Am I the only one that likes to pretend the hedges scream when you trim them?) and found that my leg was covered in fire (ants). Fire ants tend to climb up and on you, as unnoticed as George Clooney at a Star Trek® convention. (Note: put any chick George has ever dated into a Klingon© outfit, and she would have to fight off legions of drooling Trekkers. George? Not so much.)
Fifteen or so of them decided to bite en masse and I responded by leaping up vertically like Wile E. Coyote and then scampering in the air for a second until I caught traction. I think it was at this moment, as the alkaloid poison from the Solenopsis Invictus (cool name for cruddy little fire ants) began to slowly evoke all manner of response from my body. My jump in the air must have pulled my hamstring, which had never (really) gotten better after a bout of high school football.
Happily, I can walk like a champ. Sadly, my hamstring fills my body with a hideous, searing pain whenever I sit down in a chair. Oh, and whenever I get up from my chair. Driving? Shear agony.
Sitting and writing, like right now? Not great, but with enough
I'm quite sure that more than one of you was worried that I'd had a stroke when Al Gore won that Peace Prize™ for publicizing Global
Just fire ants. But they're probably Global Warming Fire Ants.
Anyhow, yeouch. I'm going to go lie down (which feels fine, too).
Dang Al Gore, anyhow.

I don't know about you, but my absolute favorite social media site currently is Instagram (by the way, if you're not already, definitely check out my profile over there!). I love the community, the visual aspect, and the creative challenges that it brings. But within the weight loss community on Instagram, I see a lot of false information being spread by its users. There are tons of myths out there that so many people believe when it comes to losing weight. So much so, that I've taken it upon myself to debunk some of these myths. Here are the top 5 weight loss myths I see all the time on Instagram, and the truth behind those myths:
5 Weight Loss Myths You Need to Know About
Debunking Instagram's Most Common Weight Loss Myths
1. In Order to Lose Weight, You Need to Only be Eating 1200 Calories Per Day
Nope! Not true at all. You need to be at a caloric deficit (burning more calories per day than you consume), but that does not require such little calories. Plus, if you have muscles or are trying to gain muscle, then those burn more calories than fat, but they weigh more per inch, so muscle composition plays an active role as well.
The best way that I've found to determine how many calories to eat per day is to head over to the Macro Calculator at iifym.com and fill out the form. Select the "Weight Loss" option at the bottom, and there you go! Note: it will probably be a lot higher than you think it should be. Definitely check out your macros as well and see what they suggest, and if that suggestion makes sense for you, then go for it!
2. Eating Health = Automatic Weight Loss
Like I said above, losing weight requires being at a caloric deficit. Fruits and veggies are a great option, but not a requirement.
I am living proof of that! For the first 5ish months of my weight loss journey, I lost about 35 pounds. I made such healthy choices such as hot dogs, chicken strips, Subway sandwiches, cake, and chocolate chip cookies very regularly. Heck, this year my personal trainer baked me a double-layer brownie-yellow cake. It was amazing. I still have lost 64 pounds to date.
Now, I am not saying that eating healthy food is a bad idea. It's definitely not! But it is not a hard-set requirement for weight loss if you're not up for it. Likewise, if you're eating amazingly healthy foods, but they total to more calories per day than you burn off, then you're not going to lose weight, no matter how healthy the food is.

3. Exercising is the Only Thing You Need to Do to Lose Weight
If only! I love working out in the gym… But unfortunately for me, the bulk of weight loss comes from the nutritional aspect. One of my favorite quotes is from Pop Pilates Founder Cassey Ho, "Abs are made in the gym, and shown in the kitchen."
4. If You Don't Lose 10 Pounds in Your First Month, You're Doing it Wrong
So, if you've been around here for a while, you know that I didn't hit the 20 pound mark until 9 weeks after I started my weight loss journey. I remember being incredibly upset at the beginning of last February, because I didn't make my goal only two months into my weight loss. If I only knew then what I know now…
But even more surprising to most is that I gained three and a half pounds in my first months of working with a personal trainer. This scared me at first. I thought I was untrainable, that my metabolism was just too shot to lose weight. But I persisted, and looking back, am so glad that I did.
So even if your numbers aren't huge in the first few months, keep going. Keep steadily losing weight. They all add up in the end.
5. Losing Weight Makes You Happier
Before you come for me with your "I LOST WEIGHT AND FEEL SO MUCH MORE CONFIDENT NOW" -themed pitchforks, let me explain. The act of losing weight itself does not make you happier, the side effects of the weight loss, however, can.
Feeling more confident in your own body can make you happier. Being able to physically be able to do things that you originally couldn't, definitely makes you happier. The endorphins coursing through your veins while you're getting a really good workout makes you happier. Losing fat on your tummy does not.
So there you have it! Have you seen any questionable weight-loss advice on Instagram? Let me know in the comments section below!

As in wider rise in the bonnet?
Thanks for the link. It doesn't look to have much more clearance than the d max one unfortunately. I need it wider not taller.
As in wider rise in the bonnet?
N/A for life...
Yes exactly.
Just need to make the rest of it like that. Sticking with a silver thats very close to the actual factory silver when I paint it, its going to be silver all over and aluminium for most things.
Yes the trd charger option sounds cool but its a really half arsed design. If I were to boost it I would do it much differently, but this is all about NA.
The TRD kit is expensive and wouldnt even fit in rwd at all. Its a kinda shit.
Watching this eagerly, I've just picked up a short block to start a proof of concept putting a 2AZ into my 205.
Hey thats cool, and it would be pretty straight forward, being that the 2az replaces the 5s and shars a lot of the bellhousing pattern with the Y/S/VZ/MZ family of patterns. It will locate centrally on the dowels, so its just a matter of adapting the manifolds. I dont know about clearance around 4wd boxes or anything like that though.
I know a lot of people have put them in mr2 sw20 so i think you should find it pretty easy.
Yep thats not happening. I'm not sure what transmission people are using in the mr2 (perhaps stock ones??) but no way in christmas a 2az will mate up to a GT-four bellhousing. The bolt spacings (from crank/input shaft) are bigger by about 15mm on the 2az, none of the bolts line up etc. The two major bolts at the top of the engine are further apart by 20mm on the 2az.
Also the engine interferes with the transfer case, I suspect with careful work with a grinder that could be made possible.
However I shall keep trying, perhaps along sandwich plate ideas.
I will keep and eye out on your thread with great interest.
Could probably make most of the clearance you need by cutting into the alloy andwhich plate area that I cut to fit the starter, but Im not 100% sure, the steel s blocks are narrow compared the 2az, with its upper and lower crankcases.
Did some polishing while the car is away for the tailshaft and a few pre paint body tweaks and repairs.
I die ground away some ribs around the engine mount boss on the timing cover because it allowed me a much better polish job and wasnt needed for strength in rwd configuration. Why not save a few grams.

Santa is a character that is found in both the DC and Marvel Universes. While this is the case, there some slight differences between how the two universes portray the character. But first, check out these past gems:
— — — — — —
Wanted: Santa Claus, Dead or Alive!; by Frank Miller
Yes, Virginia, There is Was a Santa Doom!!
DC Comics
Starting in the Golden Age DC has been all over the map with regards to the existence of Santa Claus. One year they would put out a team-up story where Superman has to step in to help St. Nicholas and the next, there'll be a story assuring their young readers that Santa most definitely did not exist. This is probably the begin of the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
In most cases, any Santa Claus team-up in the DCU is going to be with Superman 90% of the time. Sure, occasionally he shows up and hangs out with another hero, but it's never Batman.
Anyway here are a few stories that involve the Man in Red.
Santa, the BFF of Superman
Superman and Santa have met many times, here are just a few notable meetups.
Superman's Christmas Adventure (1940)
Clark Kent and Lois Lane go to Metropolis' department stores as they start working on a Christmas story for the Daily Planet.
They meet a young boy named Billy Connelly, is unable to afford anything for Christmas. The two take pity on him, and when they return to the returning to the Daily Planet, suggest to Perry that the paper sponsor a Toy Drive to help out needy children. While out on assignment Clark spots a rich boy, James Daniels, throwing a tantrum after he receives childish playthings, all the while demanding greater gifts instead. That night, as Superman, Clark takes young James on a tour of the city showing him less fortunate children, and James realizes how much he has, and how little others do, having a Christmas revelation.
Meanwhile, at the North Pole, two elderly men, Doctor Grouch and Mister Meaney attempt to convince Santa Claus to end his philanthropy, and instead join them in a business venture. Afer the two are kicked out by the Elves, Grouch and Meaney decide to take their campaign elsewhere, planning to start by shutting down the Toy Drive at the Daily Planet. The two men knock the employees out with gas and then set the presents on fire. Luckily, immediately after they leave, Clark Kent changes into Superman and takes care of the fire.
rouch and Meaney return to Santa's workshop, intent on destroying all of the toys with axes. Lois, who followed the two men, is caught sneaking around, they tie her to a rocket.
In the workshop, the two are stopped by a swarm of Toy Soldiers, which are part of Santa's security system. Superman rescues Lois. Meaney and Grouch move on to Plan C: kidnap Santa's Reindeer.
Santa calls on Superman to help him rescue the Reindeer, and although he is successful, Meaney successfully gases the reindeer, making them unable to work on Christmas. No worries though, Superman is there to fly Santa's sleigh around himself!
At the end of the night, Superman and Santa go to Mr. Grouch's house, where Grouch once more has captured Lois once again. Despite their evil that night, Santa decides to forgive the two and gives them both presents anyway. Grouch and Meaney experience a complete change of heart, and gain great respect for Santa, deciding to like Christmas after all.
On the way home, Superman witnesses James Daniels carrying loads of presents with his Butler, intending to give them to all of the unfortunate children of Metropolis. Superman wishes everyone a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

"The Man Who Hated Christmas" (Action Comics#105)
The story opens with Jasper Rasper, a mean man who hates Christmas, in fact, it is stated in the story's caption that "IF HE COULD KILL CHRISTMAS, HE WOULD."
Jasper Rasper hates Christmas so much that he has concocted a plan so that Christmas is ruined for everyone. He takes a batch of drugged chocolates to the North Pole. Before he puts this plan in motion, Jasper fires an employee just for saying "Merry Christmas." This, of course, catches the attention of Perry White, who declares that this would make "a sensational feature story!" and sends Clark to cover the story for the paper. Clark uncovers Rasper's plans to sabotage Christmas from his less than loyal employees.
Superman heads to the North Pole, but Rasper had a head start and is already there making trouble.
Rasper saunters right into Santa's house and ends up interrupting his workout which is an obstacle course of chimneys and puts his devious plan into action. First, he gives Santa the chemically altered chocolates and then goes and roofies the Reindeer.
When Superman arrives, the chemicals have already had their dastardly effect, causing Santa Claus to swell to twice his usual size. This is a problem since this version of St. Nick actually climbs down every chimney in order to make his deliveries. In order to save Christmas, it's up to Superman to slim Santa down again…which results in some strange and creepy goings-on.
In the montage of the Superman weight loss program we see:
- Superman uses scare tactics to sweat and scare the weight off, which include a volcano and dangling him from a bridge
- Superman making Santa dance with costumed women while he sits back and watches
- and finally terrifying Santa with the horrors of space
Superman's method works, though, but the reindeer are still out of commission, which means Superman has to pitch in and carries the sleigh so Santa can deliver the toys.
On the way back to Metropolis, Jasper Rasper's Rasper Helicopter had a bit of a malfunction, leaving him stranded on an iceberg. Santa and Superman rescue him, which causes Rasper to have a change of heart and learn the True Meaning of Christmas.
Rasper gives Cartwright gets his job back, and Santa successfully overcomes his chemically induced weight gain by being terrorized by Superman.

During the Silver Age, the Earth-1 Superman had a very different relationship with Santa.
DC Comics Presents #67: The Twas the Fright Before Christmas!
Superman finds that a boy Timmy Dickens, who held up a sidewalk Santa Claus with a dart gun, is under a powerful hypnotic suggestion. After taking the boy to the Fortress of Solitude to break the boy's trance, Timmy reveals that he had raided the closet where his parents stored all of his Christmas gifts. Superman realizes that his old foe, the Toy Man is the culprit behind the crime. On his way back to Metropolis, Superman is blinded by a beam of energy, directly in the face. The Man of Steel falls to Earth like a stone and is able to land so that he is able to absorb the impact of the ground, keeping Dickens from injury. Timmy's attempts to revive the Unconscious Superman fail and they are discovered by a half-dozen elves. These elves carry the unconscious Man of Steel to safety, while the Toy Man has monitored the entire affair from his hidden lair back in Metropolis.
Superman awakens in the abode of Santa Claus. Unable to believe the evidence before his very eyes, the Man of Steel and Dickens are taken on a tour of Santa's workshop. Santa Claus, it appears, has been keeping an eye on the Toy Man. Santa Claus bemoans the loss of the simpler times when his elves cobbled together wooden soldiers and rocking horses even though he has done upgrades to modernize the workshop.
Superman also becomes nostalgic for his early childhood toys, specifically a Kryptonian holo-toy, which was capable of generating images directly from Superman's mind. Santa Claus gathers his giant sack of toys and mounts up for his Christmas deliveries. Superman, still suffering the effects of the Toy Man attack, tries to make it back to civilization under his own steam, but is still suffering from the effects of the weapon. Superman, unable to maintain flight, lands in Santa's sleigh, where he stays for the remainder of the journey. When the two at the Toy Man's hideout, Superman enters through the chimney, taking the Toy Man by surprise. The Toy Man counters with an army of weaponized toys.
Santa Claus has his own army of weaponized toys which is lucky for Superman, who finds he's hard-pressed in the fight against the Toy Man's diabolical toys. Toy Man levels a toy gun, powered by white dwarf star matter, at the Man of Steel but is foiled by Santa Claus who scatters marbles across the floor, causing the Toy Man to lose his balance.
Toy Man's errant shot hits one of his robot soldiers, causing the mechanized monster plummets through the shop floor, all the way to the Earth's core. Superman defuses the situation by using his heat vision to melt the Toy Man's gun.
With the Toy Man defeated, Superman finds the list of customers who have unwittingly purchased deadly toys from the Toy Man's stores. With Santa Claus' aid, Superman covers the entire continent, darting in and out of one home after another, replacing the Toy Man's gimmicked gifts with harmless replicas from Santa Claus' bag. As Superman is just about to return Dickens to his home, the little starship toy once again blasts the Man of Steel into unconsciousness.
When he awakens this time, Superman finds himself back at the North Pole, with Dickens standing over him.
The whole adventure with Santa Claus was nothing more than a dream. Superman returns Dickens back to his house. As he goes to retrieve his Clark Kent clothes, he finds his long-lost Kryptonian holo-toy.
Activating the device, Superman finds a Christmas message… from Santa Claus.

Santa, the butt of an ongoing practical joke…
DCU Infinite Holiday Special – Shadowpact: "Christmas Spirits"
In this short story is the best one of the seven stories in this Holiday Special, Santa Claus is trying to hire Shadowpact to protect him and save Christmas from the ACL (The Anti-Christmas League). It's truly a fun story to read with a hilarious reveal in the end.
Blue Devil is hanging around in the Oblivion Bar when he comes across a familiar friend…Good Ole' Santa Claus, who needs a favor from the heroes.
After the team is gathered, Santa tells them the sad story of how the Anti-Christmas League are trying to ruin him.
While he's spouting out crazy ways they could protect him, Nightmaster calms him down and tells him they have a simpler plan.
The team reassures him further, before sending Santa on his way.
Turns out this has been going on for years and it is all a big practical joke:

Marvel Comics
Actual appearances by Santa Claus are rare in Marvel comics, Marvel's Christmas stories are usually more about the heroes getting together or the Punisher impaling crooks with various holiday decorations, such as the antlers of a set of tiny fake reindeer (the high point of the medium, maybe next year's Christmas Post!), but he still shows up from time to time.
It's always really interesting when he does, too, because while people are usually skeptical about whether the person they've encountered is the real Santa Claus, they very rarely deny that he actually exists.
Santa has had numerous run-ins with Hitler, Hitler Clones, and Hydra
During WWII Santa was kidnapped by Adolf Hitler in an effort to destroy America's morale. Luckily he was saved by Nick Fury, Captain America, and Bucky Barnes.
Years later, Santa saved New York City from a Hitler-Clone calling itself the Hate Monger by causing one of the Hate Monger's pilots to crash into a nuclear bomb.
Another story finds Santa demoralized by mankind's lack of faith and belief and sells his entire franchise to Hydra. One of Santa's elves recruited some of Santa's helpers to prevent Hydra from ruining Christmas. These helpers included Howard the Duck, Vito Claus, Bubba Clause, Santa Clara, Claus Tse-Tung, Sanity Claus, and Willy Lumpkin Claus.
Howard convinced Santa to renege on his deal with Hydra and the recruited Santa's helpers join forces with Santa and the elves to drive off the Commando Corps of Hydra Accountants.

Santa was once possessed by the Power of the Infinity Gauntlet (MARVEL HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR MAGAZINE, 2009)
Before the Infinity Gauntlet became the centerpiece of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was wielded by one supremely unlikely character: Santa Claus.
Marvel Holiday Spectacular 2009, had Santa was driven mad by the omnipotent power of the combined Infinity Gems, which caused him to attack Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Professor X and the rest of the Illuminati, the group of heroes that held the items that powered the Gauntlet.
Santa sought out the heroes after learning his reindeer were shape-shifting Skrulls. The Marvel heroes agreed to let him use the Gauntlet to deliver toys around the world on Christmas Eve. Despite his jolly reputation, Santa succumbed to the Gauntlet's charms. The threat came to an end after Namor disarmed Santa with a well-placed snowball throw, Iron Man gave Santa some spare robotic reindeer he just happened to have laying around. In hindsight, this should have probably been done in the first place.

Santa was a mutant who turned the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants into action figures (Marvel Holiday Special 1991)
Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Banshee go looking for what Cerbero says is the most powerful mutant ever…an 'Omega Level Mutant". Their serch bring them to the mall where they bump into the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. A fight ensues until Santa shows up and turns the members of the Brotherhood into action figures (they got better) and then transports the X-Men to Rockefeller Center where Scott and Jean are and the team celebrates the day together
Santa, of course, erases both groups' memories of his involvement and then gifts the entire city with snowfall.

Santa turned out to be Ultron (Marvel Holiday Special 2005)
Doctor Strange is hosting the Avengers Holiday Party as hijinks ensue such as Tony, Logan, and Steve Rogers all hitting on Mary Jane, The guys are taking full advantage of the hovering mistletoe to get a chance to kiss Spider-Woman (apparently Jessica Drew now has a #metoo story), Doctor Strange's Christmas tree being a carnivorous monster, and Gravity (a guest of Luke Cage) is just trying to get into the party.
While the party is going on, a well-intentioned lady has created a robotic Santa to make the myth real. As the Santa Bot flys away it proclaims:
The Santa bot goes to all the places where the Avengers could be having their party. It stops at Avenger's Mansion, Stark Tower before finally arriving at The Sanctum Santorum.
Santron is defeated after it receives a cookie, thus fulfilling its protocol. Using the files from the Ultron Santa, the heroes learn who is behind the Santatron.
It turns out that after the last battle, Ultron sought out Virgie Halron, who used to work for Stark. Turns out as a kid, Virgie was devastated when kids told her that Santa was not real and it affected her greatly. When she came upon Ultron, she saw the chance to make Santa real.
Virgie tries to turn herself into the police, only to be stopped by the Avengers and invited to spend Christmas Eve with them and has her belief in Santa okayed by Captain America.

Santa was on Deadpool's Hitblist
Deadpool takes a job where he is supposed to change the status of "International Scum Bag" Rass Bankin (Rankin & Bass) from the naughty to nice list.
In order to do this, Deadpool travels to the North Pole. Deadpool sets off a flashbang in the reindeer shed which distracts the elves and allows him to get into Santa's house.
As Deadpool is about to hack the list Jolly Ole St. Nick shows up…and apparently, the two have unfinished business…
As the two throw down, the Abominable Snowman breaks into the house, intent on killing Santa (they must have had a falling out following the events of the 1960′ Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer). Deadpool kills the Yeti, saying Santa is his to kill.
The two finally come to their senses after Santa asks why they are fighting.
Deadpool returns to Bankin, who doesn't get what he expects for Christmas:
Hope it is a good one…

"Now that we have finally finished getting the entire garden
into BG-Map, we are able to utilize it in our programs.
We have a group of volunteers who collect herbarium vouchers
from our living collection. In the past, they worked from
hand-drawn maps and lists printed from BG-BASE to locate
plants and figure out if they had data and needed to be
collected. The process was very slow.
Now, they can go out with a BG-Map map that has all the
information they need on one sheet, in an easily read
In the past, it took 2 volunteers, 4 or more hours to complete 1 bed. Now the same volunteers can complete a bed in 2 hours or less. The frustration level of the volunteers has been greatly reduced while the productivity has increased.
I'm sure we'll find lots of other uses for the maps as time goes on, but we're thrilled that we are already able to reap significant benefit from the mapping project."

I am a Muslim. I stand in full solidarity with my Jewish brethren who were the victims of a heinous and despicable attack in their synagogue in Pittsburgh. There is absolutely no place for such kind of hate in our society where places of worship are the target of such horrific violence. In the wake of a tragedy like this, it's important for all faith and non-faith groups to come together and condemn these acts.
And it's important to condemn white supremacy just as we condemn other extremist ideologies when they inspire such atrocities. The perpetrator's social media reveals that he was a strong believer in conspiracies that came from rhetoric presented by U.S. President Donald Trump and some media outlets. This incident shows the dangers of spreading such rhetoric where hate is used to exploit the emotions of frustrated people.
We must do better than this. It is also the responsibility of the media to refrain from giving hateful rhetoric publicity as it can have dire consequences.
(We all stand with the families and loved ones of the fallen in Pittsburgh.)
Some Canadians are convinced and support the idea that a carbon tax is needed to protect our environment. As most taxable items have a carbon footprint, I believe that increasing the GST would achieve the same goal(s) as a "carbon tax" without the political hoopla and ongoing administrative-provincial legal wranglings.
However, I also believe that most Canadians would ONLY support this tax increase if the money raised could only be applied directly to GST rebates and against existing debt … completely outside the purview of our politicians.
(A GST hike is the last thing most people want to see, the second last being a carbon tax.)
Last winter's decision and act of setting up a temporary ice skating surface at Parliament Hill was a show of two things: One, a waste of taxpayers' money, that was obvious, and two, a complete failure to demonstrate any behaviour change to reduce pollution. Transportation, setup, operations, lighting, maintenance, takedown, restoration of site all emit pollution. The fact the rink was used very little because of temperatures made it even worse.
The Trudeau government failed here in the respect that no behaviour changes or sacrifices were made or demonstrated in any way. Canadians are asked to make these changes, reduce, change ways, do things in a more responsible way, think, plan and act accordingly. Why is not the government not trying to do its part? Why is it expected that Canadians taxpayers will bear the brunt of emissions reduction goals and the government just outlines and sets goals, but never shows any real commitment past this?
(A lot of talk, and little useful action. That said, from Ottawa, we should add that the rink was pretty nice.)

The TV show Meghan Markle quit last year to become a royal has been picked up for an eighth season without her.
Suits producers have also officially confirmed the exits of Markle and fellow original cast member Patrick J. Adams, while promoting Dule Hill to a series regular.
He joins Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, and Rick Hoffman for the eighth season of the legal drama. The remainder of season seven will premiere at the end of March.
The season finale is expected to feature Markle's long-awaited TV wedding, just weeks before her real-life nuptials to Prince Harry.
Confirming he won't be back for an eighth season, Adams reveals his character, Mike Ross, has taught him "a lot about commitment, hard work and the power of believing in yourself", adding, "I feel blessed that now we both get to walk out into the lives that we never dreamed we would actually be lucky enough to live."
Adams and Markle both knew they wouldn't be returning to the show as they filmed their final episodes, despite never speaking about it.
It was confirmed that Patrick, who plays her onscreen fiance Mike Ross, will also be leaving ahead of the show's eighth season.
"In some ways, Meghan and I were the closest because we were the youngest people in the cast and both came in with the least experience. We grew up together over the course of the show," he explained to The Hollywood Reporter. "There was this natural sense that we both knew that the time had come for both of us.
"It went unspoken and we just enjoyed the hell out of the last few episodes that we got to shoot. We both knew that we wouldn't be coming back. It made every one of our scenes that much more special."
Patrick, 36, admitted during the interview that he been thinking about leaving since season six as he was spending a lot of time away from his now-wife, Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario.
He knew for certain when his contract came up for renewal halfway through making season seven and he is glad his decision coincided with the "whole crazy part" of Meghan's personal life, meaning the onscreen couple, who are set to get married this series, could exit together.
"It just so happens that the timing of how I was feeling (about leaving Suits) and what was going on in Meghan's life created an opportunity where there was no need to force some conflict or tear Mike and Rachel apart," he added.
Their final episodes will air in the U.S. as a two-hour finale on 25 April.

text: Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito lashed out at teammate Jonathan Martin on Twitter Wednesday, saying "The truth is going to bury you and your entire camp. You could have told the truth the entire time." Incognito also wrote Martin told him he thought about committing suicide because he wasnt playing well. "FACT: Jonathan Martin told me he thought about taking his own life in MAY 2013 b/c he wasnt playing well. Told me he felt worthless," Incognito said on Twitter. Incognitos series of tweets directed at Martin and his representatives come as the NFL is preparing to release a report on the Dolphins bullying case which could help clarify their much-publicized relationship. Martin previously said he was harassed daily by Incognito and other teammates. He alleged their racial, aggressive and sexually charged comments played a role in his departure from the team on Oct. 28. Incognito recently finished serving a three-month suspension but isnt expected to return to Miami. He took aim at Martins agent Kenneth Zuckerman from Priority Sports, on Wednesday, accusing him of releasing information to the media. "What do you have to say for your actions? Why did you release the VM. What was your goal?" Incognito wrote on Twitter. Zuckerman said in a brief telephone interview with The Associated Press that he didnt want to respond to Incognitos comments, except to say, "The only thing I would say is Ill let Jason La Canforas tweet speak for itself." After Incognitos Twitter rant, La Canfora, who works for CBS Sports and broke the story on the text messages exchanged between the teammates, said on Twitter that Zuckerman "had nothing to do with my reporting." Zuckerman declined to answer other questions about the case. Incognito also wrote on Twitter: "the truth will set me free. I cant say the same about Jon Martin. The truth is what hes hiding from." Incognitos final tweet referred all questions to his attorney Mark Schamel, who did not return phone calls to the AP. Martin abruptly left the Dolphins last October and was hospitalized. He underwent counselling for emotional issues. Incognito was suspended Nov. 3, causing him to miss his final eight games. The NFL report, which is headed up by Ted Wells, is expected to be released and could help shed some light on what role Dolphins coach Joe Philbin and his staff, as well as the front office, had in the case. The concern is whether or not Incognito was ordered to toughen up Martin, who struggled after earning a starting job in 2012 as a rookie. Will Compton Titans Jersey .

Blaine Gabbert Jersey .com) - Oregon wasnt going to let Arizona ruin its national title dreams for a second straight season.HAMILTON, Ont. -- Dan LeFevour stole the spotlight from Henry Burris on Saturday night. LeFevour threw for 361 yards and a touchdown and rushed for a game-high 109 yards and a TD in his first CFL start, leading the Hamilton Tiger-Cats past the Ottawa Redblacks 33-23. Burris was making his first appearance in Hamilton since being released by the club in January after it signed Zach Collaros as a free agent. Burris served as the Ticats starter for two seasons and led the squad to a Grey Cup appearance last year while also tutoring LeFevour. Although LeFevour spoiled Burriss return, LeFevour downplayed any suggestion the game was about the quarterbacks. "It had nothing to do with him," LeFevour said. "It was just good to see him. "I talked to him during the week and after the game . . . he was encouraging me. Hes a great guy, he really is." LeFevour, 27, was an impressive dual threat for Hamilton (1-3). He completed 21-of-30 passes while also running 13 times, his one-yard TD at 9:44 of the fourth snapping a 23-23 tie. The big play was LeFevour hitting C.J. Gable on an 83-yard screen pass that, with a horse-tackle penalty, put the Ticats at the Ottawa one-yard line to the delight of the Ron Joyce Stadium sellout of 6,500. "You saw what a competitor he is," Hamilton coach/GM Kent Austin said. "Real strong will to win, threw the ball well. "Early on he pulled the ball down a little too soon but finally settled in and let the game come to him some more. He just really had a command of the offence." For the first time this season, Gable was a key figure in Hamiltons offence. The speedy running back ran six times for 62 yards and a TD while adding three catches for a team-high 105 yards as the Ticats rolled up 558 total offensive yards. Burris, 39, finished 27-of-44 passing for 290 yards and two TDs and an interception while throwing his first interception of the season. Ottawa (1-3) pulled into a 23-23 tie on Brett Mahers 23-yard field goal at 4:41 of the fourth. "He did a good job," Burris said of LeFevour. "He ran the offence, got the ball to his playmakers and made some plays. "Im proud of him. I just wish he wouldve saved that for another night but kudos to him." Ottawa head coach Rick Campbell said LeFevours legs were key to Hamiltons victory. "Hes a runner, if you give him escape lanes he makes you pay," Campbell said. "We were trying to get him to hold the ball, which he did a couple of times, but he made some plays with his feet . . . then we gave up some huge plays. "Him and Gable, theyre good athletes and youve got to be right on those guys because they make big plays.ddddddddddddquot; The Redblacks were coming off their first-ever win, an 18-17 home decision against Toronto last week, and Marcus Henry certainly did his part with 10 catches for 138 yards and a TD. But Burris said his club hurt itself against the Ticats. "We found ways to hurt ourselves," he said. "We had more opportunities to put more points on the board. "This was one of those matches where the last offence that had the ball was going to win the game. Hamilton did a good job of making big plays, we didnt make enough big plays. We cant be shooting ourselves in the foot in those key situations." The game was the Ticats home opener and their first in Hamilton in 21 months as last years home contests were played at the University of Guelph while Tim Hortons Field was being built. Saturdays contest was supposed to open Tim Hortons Field but construction delays will force the team to play at least its first two home games at McMaster. Hamilton hosts the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday night. Brandon Banks had Hamiltons other touchdown. Medlock added the converts and four field goals. Matt Carter scored Ottawas other touchdown. Maher had the converts and three field goals. Medlocks 36-yard field goal capped an entertaining first half and earned Hamilton a 20-17 advantage. It was set up by Craig Butlers interception that put the Ticats at their own 45-yard line. The contest began at a fever pitch with TDs on the first three possessions. Banks took LeFevours shovel pass 53 yards for the score on the second play from scrimmage just 58 seconds in before Burris countered with a smart 13-play, 96-yard march he capped with a 10-yard TD toss to Carter at 7:35. But Gables 47-yard touchdown run on the Ticats fifth offensive play at 9:29 put them ahead 14-7 as they opened by gaining 158 yards on their first five plays. NOTES -- LeFevour became the Ticats third different starter this year after Collaros (head injury) and Jeremiah Masoli started the earlier contests . . . Saturdays game was the first between Hamilton and Ottawa since Oct. 21, 2005 when the Ticats downed the former Renegades 40-32 . . . Ottawa entered weekend action tied atop the East Division with Toronto and Montreal. The last time an Ottawa club was first in the East was Aug. 19, 2005 when the Renegades were 5-3 but they lost their next six games to fall from playoff contention . . . Ottawas scratches were defensive lineman Nigel Romick and tackle Nate Menkin while Hamilton`s were receiver Greg Ellingson and defensive lineman Arnaud Gascon-Nadon.

Alderfield place West Vancouver
Location: West Vancouver
Date: May 10, 2019
Service: Renovations and Additions
Any classic Tudor-style home built in the 80's provides the basic good bones necessary to remodel, rebuild and rejuvenate. The Bremmner's home fit into this category and through our continuous work with Jamie and Greer at Oliver Simon Design and the ingenuity of Kennedy Construction, the Bremmners were able to witness a huge transformation.
We were grateful to have this project featured in House & Home Magazine, our first project featured in the magazine..
It began by gutting all three floors, in some cases down to the bare studs, and making some slight wall adjustments to reconfigure the layout on the main floor. The windows were all replaced and upgraded to energy efficient models. A stunning glass, metal, wooden staircase was installed with a sturdy thick beam support running through the centre giving it a dynamic look. The kitchen which is open and fresh, now flows easily into the family room creating a perfect setting for family gatherings. New flooring throughout, enhancing touches of grass cloth wallpaper, and clean crisp white paint lifted the interior setting giving it a fresh modern look.
The renovation had its challenges, the biggest being a time restraint as the owners were required to move out while the work was being done. Kennedy Construction was able to meet the deadline which allowed the Bremmners to inhabit their new home without delay. Now they can enjoy the rejuvenation of their beautiful Tudor classic.

Impacting Cities & Communities thru Prayer
A Community of Prayer Champions, Praying Churches, Prayed-for Communities
I had been in and out of prayer this morning. Then I was Given this to think about.
Humans are made up of the physical and the spiritual. The physical part we can readily see. The spiritual we can only see manifestations thereof.
So where, exactly, is the spiritual located inside the human body? The heart? The brain? I couldn't figure it out.
My best guess is that the spiritual in a human body is where the "brain bone" is connected to the "heart bone."

LUCA – 'Wales'
Words by Oliver Monaghan
From the first chord, you feel it. The heartache that fills the room in E flat as a haunting falsetto follows. Lifting the hairs on the back of your neck as it reaches down your aural cavity and attempts to stop your heart from beating. Meanwhile consuming the space around you, the palpability mounting with each passing note before a singularly spectral voice pierces through. Drifting ethereally above an intricate soundscape of acoustic guitar and mournful brass, as a nostalgic narrative unfurls from within it. Each phrase as arresting as the last as the emotion rises and erupts in a euphoric crescendo of strings.
But as beautiful and affecting as the orchestral accompaniment may be, there is one thing that remains, above all, more potent, more soul-stirring than anything else in this, quite frankly, stunning debut. LUCA's vocals have that rare ability to effectively emote, an innate skill that is somewhat lacking in the work of his contemporaries, yet is found here in abundance. It's the sort of vocal that could take even the most mundane piece of writing and make it feel raw and intensely personal (not that the latter applies in this instance, even the lyricism on 'Wales' manages to ignite an overwhelming sense of sentimentality within its listener). Transcending the conventions and constraints of masculinity to reveal a delicate sensitivity that is rarely exhibited by male musicians.
It's fair to say that I'm no stranger to this burgeoning young artist's music. I first stumbled across LUCA when ambling drunkenly into a venue in London's Kings Cross almost two years ago. My attention snatched from my gin and tonic, as my eyes locked onto the musician, who with a small band, stood deadly still. There were no theatrics, an element of his performance style that has remained unchanged with every gig of his that I've attended. Instead, it is the music that speaks for him. Every unique space he plays, be it a festival, a church or The Ned (which is MASSIVE!) is filled by the soulful resonance of each meticulously crafted track and is truly something to behold. We can't wait to see what this bright young artist will produce next and with his debut album due for release mid-2018, something tells me we won't have to wait very long!

Replacing a boiler, renovating a lobby or repairing a façade, can create problems that one might not anticipate or expect. Embarking upon major building projects can turn into a major headache if not done properly and with the help of licensed professionals, a panel of engineers, architects and building officials told an overflow audience at The Cooperator's Annual Co-op and Condo Expo March 6th at the New York Hilton.
The seminar entitled "Does Your Building Stack Up? The Inside Scoop on Improvements and Alterations," examined the ramifications of contracting for routine capital improvement projects, what types of professionals would be needed to complete the job at hand, wading through the bureaucratic red tape of the city's permitting process and, even offered some tips for homeowners and boards to ward off common problems and dangers. Robert Grant, director of management at Manhattan-based Midboro Management, served as moderator for the panel, which also included Peter Varsalona, a professional engineer and principal with Rand Engineering; Charles DiSanto, a registered architect, and principal of Walter B. Melvin Architects; and Laura Osorio, a registered architect, who is the Manhattan Borough Commissioner of the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB).
Every project has its own unique requirements and must be monitored to ensure that everything goes smoothly, explains Grant. From a manager's perspective, hiring the right professional is not only economical but also common sense. An architect or an engineer will be able to provide the necessary oversight and ensure that the project is properly bid out and that all the work is done in a timely fashion and that all the contractors and sub-contractors get paid.
Varsalona detailed the role of the engineer in building projects and what typical upgrades to mechanical systems are necessary. "It's very important for building owners to assess what their priorities are. And how do you do that? Perhaps the best way to do that is to have an engineer or an architect experienced in properties to do a building-system survey of all of the systems," Varsalona says. "Look at every element, look at all the building components and prepare a report that's going to address what are the immediate requirements for a board; what are short-term requirements for long-term capital improvements; and what are things perhaps you could do to extend the life of many of those building systems."
Once a decision is made, according to Varsalona, the engineer or architect will prepare project specifications that can be sent out for competitive bidding to a list of contractors approved by the building owner and/or the board. To ensure that your bid is fairly priced, he says, make sure the engineer or architect does a walk-through inspection on-site with the contractors bidding the job. That way they get a good picture of the entire scope of the project, he says.

Captain Ed examines the charges that Rep. Tom DeLay's payments to his wife and daughter were out of the ordinary, and excessive. I'd been waiting to see if either Daily Kos or MyDD had pithy comments on the DeLay payments, considering the recent dustup about their payments while consulting for the Dean campaign. Kos didn't bite, but Jerome sort of did.
Just to give an example of how un-grandiose the pay received by DeLay's wife and daughter were, consider the monthly pay each received as opposed to the Armstrong/Zuniga LLC's pay from just the Dean campaign alone. All data is publicly available via FEC records.
Jerome Armstrong – $7,000 ($84K/yr)
Christine DeLay – $4,028 (~$48K/yr)
Dani DeLay Ferro – $3,681 (~$44K/yr)
Markos Moulitsas Zuniga – $3,000 ($36K/yr)
Neither of the 4 are going to get rich off that unless they play Powerball religiously. I have neither the time nor inclination to document how it now appears that DeLay's days are numbered in the House leadership. It appears he's headed to Congressional equivalent of the dead letter office or a permanent seat at Senator Trent Lott's dinner table.

Blessed Romanus of Athos
- Romanus the Neomartyr
- Romanos…
- 5 January
- 6 January on some calendars
- 16 February on some calendars
A pius and illiterate man, following a pilgrimage to the Holy Lands, Romanus sought spiritual direction at the monastery of Saint-Sabas on Mount Athos. He then returned to Thessalonica where he pubicly confessed his Christianity in front of Muslim Turks. Romanus was condemned to serve as a galley slave for this crime, but was later ransomed, regained his freedom, and spent more time in spiritual retreat on Mount Athos, this time at the Kavsokalyvia monastery. Again feeling a call to witness to Muslims, he travelled to Constantinople where he proclaimed his faith to the Muslim Turks. This time his crime led to torture and execution. Martyr. He is especially venerated in the Eastern churches.
- thrown into a dry well to starve for 40 days, and then beheaded in 1694 in Constantinople

Get your money for "Bettercash Scam" Do you find yourself having to pay for your child's education, medical expenses, and home repair costs simultaneously? This can be a difficult time for anybody. The need to cover multiple expenses at the same time can lead to a financial disaster. You might find yourself borrowing money from friends or family members in an attempt to avoid falling into debt. In other cases, you might consider taking out a loan from the bank. The bad news is that this isn't always possible, especially if you have a less than perfect credit rating. You may be able to get a cash advance at Bettercash Scam.
Bettercash Scam, Within a perfect world, everyone can obtain that loan depending on their ability to pay. The problem, however, is the fact that we have been not located in the perfect world. The credit ranking system also isn't perfect. In fact, it includes several flaws. People that do not possess a high credit score are as fast as considered high-risk clients. In the event you fit in with this category, you will then be forced to find other lenders to be able to secure the emergency cash.
Thankfully, it comes with an abundance of alternate lenders who are prepared to help individuals with bad credit. A good example is BetterCash Payday Cash Loans. For several years, they have been helping people get adequate financial help despite their current situation. The business knows that each individual has his very own set of requirements. That is why they actually do not just take a look at a person's credit ranking when determining whether or not to lend her or him money.
A few of the advantages of utilizing the organization include fixed interest rates, flexible payment terms, simple application process, and a urgent response time. As we discussed, these are typically things you wish to get in any lending company. They likewise have several local branches, so make sure to take a look at their webpage to learn if there is a branch located in your area.
The most popular loan option the company offers is payday cash loans. This short-term loan permits you to receive emergency cash and pay back the borrowed funds without delay on your own next payday. Through this, you may be sure that you wouldn't belong to debt provided that you make timely payments. It really is worth noting, however, that payday loans tend to be associated with high APR. This means that failing to pay by the due date can force you to pay huge penalty fees.
Better Cash Pay Day Loans now offers other loan options including car financing, personal loans, and that consolidation loans. When you are unsure what kind of loan to acquire, do not hesitate to make contact with their team. The business employs loan advisors in order to receive professional assistance in selecting the best loan for you personally. You can even submit an online application therefore you would just need to get the money when you visit the local branch. This streamlined process makes it simple and useful to receive emergency cash without trying to improve your credit rating first. Bettercash Scam

We don't really know whether Donald Trump was or is the Russian Manchurian candidate but he might as well be.
And this is of course old stuff by now but I was just reviewing in my own mind what the fuss is all about.
I posted something the other day that was indirectly related to the Trump/Russia thing, that is a little and incomplete history of U.S. presidential candidates working with foreign governments. Perhaps I should have mentioned that Hillary Clinton in a way sought foreign assistance when she or her campaign (someone's campaign to me is generally the same as that someone) contracted with the private propaganda firm called Fusion GPS. Well actually that firm is headquartered in Washington D.C. But a former British spy named Christopher Steele was working for it. He wrote the famous Steele Dossier which alleged that the Russians were cultivating Donald Trump to be their man to put in the White House. The Wall Street Journal has now published an opinion piece that questions whether the Russians themselves may have been behind the dossier just to sow discord in the American election process. The piece offers no evidence just speculation.
Maybe that does not qualify as working with a foreign government on the part of Mrs. Clinton. But certainly she and her husband former U.S. President Bill Clinton have worked with foreign governments through their Clinton Foundation. It is only my opinion, but to me that foundation is more about allowing the Clintons to be jet setters and keep up their political influence than anything else.
One thing that I don't think has ever been sorted out is what a deal in which a Russian company was allowed to buy a substantial portion of the rights to uranium mining in the U.S. was all about (uranium of course used in nuclear power and weapons). Coincidentally or not this occurred in some seeming conjunction with dealings between Russians and the Clinton Foundation, which involved speaking fees for Bill Clinton — this taking place when wife Hillary was Secretary of State.
The Clintons and their defenders claim all was above board and there was no quid pro quo and that Mrs. Clinton had no direct role. And of course Trump and his gang have tried to use it for all it's worth, such as chanting "lock her up" during the 2016 presidential campaign and even after. The facts in all of these things are always murky.
But it would be nice to have people in power who had no murky facts of foreign intrigue to explain away.
But back to Trump. While partisans argue over the accuracy and the meaning within the Mueller Report there is something that is not in dispute. Trump's involvement in Russia goes back years. Like so many business people he was looking for opportunities there afer the fall of the old Soviet Union and Russia's entry into the capitalist system. The Russians were freed of the yoke of communism and in return are instead under the control of the super-rich oligarchs.
One project Trump had in mind was the building of a Trump tower in Moscow. I just read he first envisioned the project when Russia was still the Soviet Union. But I imagine it became even more plausible when Russia went capitalist. Well, anyway, no project has ever got off the ground. But there is evidence (perhaps not proof) that once the Russians saw that Trump was running for president and at the same time that Mrs. Clinton was they saw a chance to cultivate Trump. They did not like Mrs. Clinton because she had said unfriendly things about Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Probably also because she had actual experience in foreign relations as secretary of state, while Trump had no experience in government or foreign relations per se and no interest in it.
One thing that has been reported is that they dangled the tower project before him and in return got some U.S. sanctions lifted, plus an awful lot of kind words and apparent glowing admiration by the American president for the dictator Putin.
I have to admit having good relations with all nations, as far as possible, is not a bad thing. But Trump seems to have love fests with your average dictator/strong man, i.e., Putin, Kim Jong-un, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia (known often as MBS), the latter of which just had 37 people executed in one day this week and who earlier ordered the killing of a journalist for one would suppose unflattering coverage. In that Arab kingdom people are not given access to legal council and the court proceedings are secret (I mean some people might be legitimately guilty of crimes, but how would you know? And of what?)
Well anyway, shady dealings seem to be something people in public life have in common with each other.
But here is a big problem. Unlike other presidents in recent history, Trump has failed to give up direct control of his business assets while serving in the White House. He made a sham presentation of essentially doing so right after his inauguration but all it was was a photo-op with a bunch on binders on the table. In reality he still has control. So he can use his power of the presidency to influence things and profit from being the president. In addition he has appointed members of his own family to government posts and they are all joined together in Trump business enterprises. If it is not illegal it certainly is unethical and immoral to use their position in government to enhance their private business or fortunes. And it would seem they might be calculating just as much or more on how policy decisions might line their own pockets rather than help the nation at large.
And Trump, unlike other modern presidents, refuses to publicly release his tax returns.
I suspect that Trump is not the Manchurian candidate. He was just a convenient target of opportunity seen as malleable to Russian interests. Also it was a sure bet that if he got into the White House he would stir up discord within our government and make us vulnerable in the face of threats from without.
