EUROPE's immigration problem
Via: TYWKIWDBI ("Tai-Wiki-Widbee")
Like almost 60,000 others this year, Brahana decided to brave the Mediterranean sea in order to reach Italy, and therefore Europe. She paid people-smugglers $1,600 (£950), she says, to board a boat packed with more than 300 people.
"It's really hard with a small baby," she says stoically of a journey that has proved deadly for thousands over the past 20 years. Her boat was intercepted by an Italian navy ship last week and all its passengers taken to safety. The question for them now is what comes next.
More depressing details at the Guardian link.
fyi – I believe TYWKIWBI is one of the most interesting, informative, and FUN blogs on the whole damn web.

Germany outraged by Italian newspaper's 'Fourth Reich' headline
Via: Raw Story
German politicians have reacted furiously to this front page in the Italian daily Il Giornale with its headline "Fourth Reich" above a picture of Chancellor Angela Merkel raising her hand in a vaguely fascist salute.
The paper is owned by the brother of Italy's former prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, and the article – published on Friday – was written by its editor-in-chief, Alessandro Sallusti.
It says: "Since yesterday, Italy is no longer in Europe, it is in the Fourth Reich." It argues that Germany has won while Italy, Europe and the euro have lost. It blames Merkel for failing to allow the European central bank to assist the Italian economy.
Il Giornale has been at the centre of controversy with Germany before. Two months ago, after Italy beat Germany in the Euro 2012 football semi-final, the paper published a picture of Merkel under the headline "Ciao, ciao culona" (Bye bye lard arse).
The paper has also laid into Italy's prime minister Mario Monti – who replaced Berlusconi – for not doing enough to stand up to Germany. It compared him to the appeasing British prime minister Neville Chamberlain who declared in 1938 he had "secured peace in our time" after meeting Adolf Hitler.
Greece/Euro/EU – "Quote of the Day"
Via: Huffington Post
"There's a disagreement on the fiscal side, and unless that is resolved in the next three days, then I'm afraid the summit could turn out to be a fiasco.
And that could be actually fatal because you are facing the possiblity of Greece leaving the euro and perhaps the European Union, and you need to strengthen the remaining euro structure to withstand that shock."
– George Soros told Bloomberg TV.
And Then What? – Paul Krugman
Via: NY Times
So it appears that the governing coalition in Greece has pulled out a narrow victory — winning only a minority of votes, but getting a narrow majority in the parliament thanks to the 50-seat bonus New Democracy gets for coming in first.
So they will now have the ability to continue pursuing an unworkable policy.
Joe Wiesenthal tells us that there's a meme in Greece to the effect that Syriza didn't really want to win, because it would rather see the current government flail some more.
Conversely, establishment types should actually be dismayed by this outcome: if current policies fail completely, which seems almost a GIVEN, and Greece exits the euro anyway, which seems highly likely, the entire Greek center will end up discredited; better, in a way, to be able to blame the radicals.
And I gather I'm not the only one thinking along these lines; Business Insider also reports hints that Pasok, which has suffered terribly from its identification with failing policies, might not continue in the coalition unless Syriza is also brought on board — which then raises the question, why would Syriza do that?
The debacle rolls on.

Greece Still Going Broke, Now Faster And With More Broke-Ness
Via: Huffington Post
If you could rely on anything in the past couple of years, it is that Greece is always going broke. Now it turns out that Greece is going broke faster than almost anybody expected.
The Greek government is struggling to collect enough tax revenue to cover its immediate bills, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, leaving it about 1.7 billion euros shy of its budget goals. It may soon need to freeze government salaries and pensions, temporarily halt imports of food, fuel and medicine, or dip into cash intended to help Greece's gutted banks, the Times writes.
This comes less than three months after Greece received the first installment of a new, 130 billion-euro bailout package in March. The hard-fought bailout agreement with Greece's European rescuers involved excruciating belt-tightening that has helped make the country's deep recession even worse. That tends to have a dampening effect on tax revenue, as the U.S. government can attest.
Austerity, in other words, is self-defeating, which is one reason the rest of the world is dragging Europe's biggest austerity fan, Germany, toward policies that favor economic growth instead.
The world has recently grown weary of caring about Greece's money problems and has instead turned its attention to the money problems of Spain, which yesterday warned it was at risk of being SHUT OUT of the BOND MARKET and that its banks needed a multi-billion-euro bailout.
The European Central Bank this morning stood pat on taking any more action to help Europe right now, in what might be an effort to force European politicians to make some hard choices and hammer out a long-term solution. Greece, which will likely need more bailout money or risk falling out of the euro zone, may be back on the agenda sooner than policy makers think.
personal thought:
". . . what might be an effort to force European politicians to make some hard choices and hammer out a long-term solution"; well that's great, and good for them.
But what IF, they/we have reached the 'tipping point', and there are NO long-term solutions, simply more half-ass, stop-gap fixes?
"Achtung Baby: Germany Is Riskier Than You Think"
Via: Huffington Post
While everybody's rightly worried about Spain as the next likely victim of the European debt crisis, nobody's thinking much about Germany. It could be in more trouble than we realize.
That's the message of a presentation making the rounds Tuesday on Wall Street by Carmel Asset Management, a New York investment firm. Entitled "Achtung Baby: Germany Is Riskier Than You Think," the presentation points out that Germany has been the sponge soaking up Europe's debt problems for more than two years now — and that it helped finance the debt booms in Greece, Spain and other peripheral European countries that led to the eventual bust. This is all bad news for Germany's long-term financial health, Carmel warns.
"Periphery debt is now the Federal Republic of Germany's problem," Carmel writes in the presentation, which is available in full at the Zero Hedge blog.
Typically when Germany is mentioned in relation to the rest of the eurozone, it is the Debbie Downer who won't let anybody do anything fun, like stimulate the economy or issue joint European bonds. Its fever for austerity has helped investors think of it as an uber-safe haven. That's one reason its two-year debt yields recently turned negative: Investors are so desperate for Germany's perceived safety that they're willing to actually pay money to let the German government hold their money for safekeeping.
But Germany is not immune, Carmel warns. It is getting punished in four very specific, very awful ways:
– Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank, has taken on the burden of some of the bad debts of struggling European countries, as a result of being the primary cash source for repeated eurozone bailouts.
– The Bundesbank is also suffering from the bad debts of German private banks that loaned to struggling countries.
– German banks that still have those bad debts on their books are suffering, too.
– Germany's export-driven economy is taking a hit from the slowdown in trade accompanying Europe's rolling financial crises and recessions.

I can't help think, sooner or later, there will be a 'German Spring'; and the voters will demand their government stop bailing out their Southern neighbors.
Perhaps even a return to the 'Deutsche Mark'?

Euro Exit Would Prompt Greeks To More Than Half Their Income
Via: Huffington Post
An exit from the euro would see Greeks lose more than half their annual income and prompt a dramatic rise in unemployment and inflation, a report from the country's largest bank has warned.
The National Bank of Greece study was published Tuesday as Greece heads to new general elections on June 17, amid Europe-wide concern of broader financial turmoil if Greece's place in the single currency is threatened by a victory for an anti-austerity party.
"An exit from the euro would cause a significant drop in the living standards of Greek citizens – with a reduction of at least 55 PERCENT in per capita income," the authors of the 17-page report wrote.
"This would affect those on a lower income the most, with a significant devaluation of the new currency, by 65 percent, and financial contraction of 22 percent on top of the (GDP) reduction of 14 percent that occurred between 2009 and 2011."

Greece Crisis Is Personal As Well As Political, As Greeks' Lives Worsen
Via: Huffington Post
Like many Greeks left unemployed by their country's economic tailspin, Dimitris Spachos finds it easier to talk about his nation's problems than his own.
Enormous debt accumulated over decades sent the country into a recession so deep it kills 200 businesses and 900 jobs EVERY DAY. Elections this month failed to produce a government, and Greeks will vote again in June. Meanwhile, life for most Greeks continues to get worse.
"Every day I see more people sleeping rough on the street," said Spachos, 72. "They can't even wash their clothes or themselves. … It worries me."
Spachos, who has been staying with different friends in recent months, may soon join them. A former doctor, he could not afford to retire and found work as a hospital orderly. But as Greece's woes mounted so did his own, and he lost his job, then two more: one as a gardener and one as a groundskeeper.
Now, he is unemployed and homeless, and spoke this week at a municipal soup kitchen, where he ate a plastic bowl of bean soup, a thick slice of bread and a banana.
"I am ashamed to be here," Spachos said, his eyes filling with tears. "My heart is broken."
"Greeks have fight in them, so maybe things will improve in a couple of years," he said, opening his shirt to reveal a scar from surgery to implant a pacemaker. "But I won't be around to see it."

(1 of 2) Euro – Here's how it might play out – Paul Krugman
Via: New York Times
Some of us have been talking it over, and here's what we think the end game looks like:
1. Greek euro exit, very possibly next month.
2. Huge withdrawals from Spanish and Italian banks, as depositors try to move their money to Germany.
3a. Maybe, just possibly, de facto controls, with banks forbidden to transfer deposits out of country and limits on cash withdrawals.
3b. Alternatively, or maybe in tandem, huge draws on ECB credit to keep the banks from collapsing.
4a. Germany has a choice. Accept huge indirect public claims on Italy and Spain, plus a drastic revision of strategy — basically, to give Spain in particular any hope you need both guarantees on its debt to hold borrowing costs down and a higher eurozone inflation target to make relative price adjustment possible; or:
4b. End of the euro.
And we're talking about months, not years, for this to play out.
Read Krugman's BLOG, here:
Paul Robin Krugman born February 28, 1953) is an American economist, Professor of Economics and International Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, Centenary Professor at the London School of Economics, and an op-ed columnist for The New York Times.
In 2008, Krugman won the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences (informally the Nobel Prize in Economics) for his contributions to New Trade Theory and New Economic Geography. According to the Nobel Prize Committee, the prize was given for Krugman's work explaining the patterns of international trade and the geographic concentration of wealth, by examining the impact of economies of scale and of consumer preferences for diverse goods and services.

You may have fantasised buying your own floating villa in Dubai but have you ever thought of dining at an under-water hotel? Of course, you have and now, you can!
The Muraka is world's first ever under-water hotel with two-level residences featuring seamless luxury living both above and below the sea level. It is a part of the Hilton's Conrad Maldives Rangali Island resort with an estimated construction cost of $15 million. With an iconic suite encased in glass, surrounded by exotic marine life, the Muraka comes with the promise of an exceptional experience.
The Interiors
Designed by Ahmed Saleem, the Muraka is a perfect blend of modern interior design and advanced technology. The structure is made from concrete, steel and acrylic with one level above the sea and another level immersed 16.4 feet under the water.
The suite is set apart from Hilton's overwater bungalows and beach villas so you can enjoy your stay in absolute privacy. The top floor features two plush bedrooms, a grand bathroom with a sea-view tub, an infinity-edge pool and a sunset-facing deck.
A spiral staircase takes you to the lower level where an arched acrylic dome divides living space and a king-sized bedroom from the reef. The bathroom and the ceiling are see-through but the suite is strategically isolated from the rest of the resort just to ensure that privacy is never an issue.
Ahmed Saleem, the chief architect and designer of this property had to customize the design concept of the Muraka in a manner that the acrylic would not reflect the lighting. He could neither use variations of white nor bright hues as they would impede the entire interior underwater.
When designing this under-water hotel, he also worked closely with marine biologists to ensure that the surrounding corals where not adversely impacted by the structure. This 600-tonne structure was constructed on land in Singapore and then transported in a ship that could securely moor close to the reef and seamlessly submerge the suite in the sea.
The Experience
If you book this one-of-a-kind villa, expect to get flown to your suite in a private seaplane jetty. Below the surface you can enjoy a beautifully designed undersea living space and also comfortably reside above the sea where you get to enjoy exclusive delicacies and unique cultural experiences. At the Muraka, you will remain well-attended to with a dedicated team of butlers and staff available 24 hours.
The Price Tag
This once-in-a-lifetime experience comes to you at a price tag of $50,000 per night excluding taxes. But round-the-clock service, dedicated butlers, a state-of-the-art gym, spa retreats, an on-call fitness trainer, and jet skis are included in this hefty price tag to make it absolutely worth your time and money.
The Muraka is now open to world travelers who seek an extraordinary stay. So, if you want to live a dreamy experience, dive into one like no other at the Muraka and immerse yourself into the most breathtaking marine residence ever made!
Bringing such an innovative design concept to reality requires deep-rooted expertise in sourcing world-class décor solutions and building materials specifically for the hospitality industry. With extensive industry experience and longstanding associations, Excella Global can help you source high-quality products that are tailored to your unique project needs and fit your budget.

Debbie Ginder is coming to speak at Glenwood UMC this Sunday. I am most thankful to God for this woman of faith who I am proud to call my friend. Her servant heart sees things that most people don't. She speaks to these mysteries with a great love for God and a respect for others. She honors God in all her ways and she has taught me so much over the years. Thank you!
This is a true story of faith , written by Debbie, from her time in Zimbabwe. She is one of the first people who visted our home when we moved here in 1999. I remember she came to the door bearing a gift of homemade bread, a smile, and an invitation to come and worship with her and her husband at the church right near our home. I met Jesus in her smile and her gift of bread and through the worship. God has been good to allow our paths to continually cross as he see's fit. I have learned a lot about Jesus just watching and listening to Debbie and I know that you will also…get a cup of coffee and come and sit by the fire for a bit…
Put the Pot on the Fire
by Deborah Slate Ginder
I lie here on my grass mat, trying not to think about tomorrow. Baboons are barking in the moonlight on the mountain called Lupathi. I'll think about Lupathi instead. It's made of granite, hard and heavy, like these days in which I live. I climbed that mountain long ago, and from the top, I saw my world, this painful-beauty place. I memorized the scene: Zimbabwe's winter sky of cloudless blue reaching down to touch the thornveldt, brown and dusty from its want of summer rains. I could see the tiny roof of our house, the school, the church, and the villages of our friends, all scattered throughout the bush. My whole world lay before me, and it looked very small.
I stood there staring until the shadows grew long, then plucked a single remembrance of the climb—a dead twig from the resurrection plant. My mother told me it will turn green again if I give it water. Who believes such things?
That was a year of drought, but people didn't starve. The large, commercial farms had irrigation systems and grew enough corn and wheat to feed our country and several others. My mother had only to walk the short distance to the rural shops and buy grain. My father carried it to the miller who ground it into mealie-meal, and we didn't die.
But this year is a year of famine, and people are dying. People are always dying in this place— from malaria, from tuberculosis, from that dreaded disease whose name they will not even mention, but now they're also dying from starvation. My mother is a teacher, so we have a house near the school. That doesn't give us food. My father is far away, studying at university. He can't help us now.
I lie on my grass mat in the darkness, still trying not to think about tomorrow. Tomorrow… when the sack of mealie-meal will be empty and there's nothing more for us to eat. Why must we starve? We did what we could. We planted our corn in season and waited for the rains. They didn't come. I watched the small, green shoots of maize push through the earth by faith, but they wilted, curled brown, and death-rattled when the hot winds blew.
The commercial farms that saved us years ago don't exist now. The government has gone mad and destroyed them, so there is no grain to buy. Not in our small shops, not in those big stores in the city. There is nothing, people tell us, even if we had much money. Nothing.
Mother's voice calls me into the pale-white light of morning. I hear the rhythmic swish of the tree branch she uses to sweep the clay yard clean. "Put water in the pot, "she directs me. "Put the pot on the fire."
I walk outside through the soon-to-disappear morning coolness and pour water into the three-legged black pot. I lift it onto the small, open fire that is our kitchen and stare into the flame. The dusky breath of other fires permeates the bush, and I wish this moment would last forever.
Mother brings the sack of cornmeal and pours its precious white contents into the pot, shaking the bag until not even dust comes out of it. My hope dies. It was not a bad dream after all. With a wooden paddle, Mother tends the bubbling porridge, bending low over it, watching and stirring until it's ready. She spoons some into my sister's aluminum bowl, my brother's, then mine. None for herself, and none for the baby who's still fast asleep in the sling on her back. The small remainder Mother will save for our lunch—our last lunch.
The sun has just popped over the edge of the world, so I crouch in the scrappy shadow of a small tree and stare at the food in my bowl. It is plain because there is no sugar in our country these days. Oh, if there were brown sugar and a yellow lemon to squeeze over it, what a feast that would be! But the pale, watery porridge stares blankly back at me, and I eat it decisively, to show it that I can.
It's past noon now, and the sand roads are searing-white under my shoes as I walk home from school. Waves of heat bounce off the ground and jump up to snatch away my breath. My friends walk beside me, but we talk and move slowly in this hottest month of the year. I'm careful not to tell them of our plight at home. That's how we do it here. When the last of the food has been eaten and the young grow weak, they simply stop coming to school. Everyone knows the story then, so there's no need to tell it now.
I eat my tiny lunch alone, hardly thinking. Eat the few bites mechanically, as if there will be more. I lie down on the floor, searching for any coolness that may be hiding in the gray concrete. There is none. Numbly, I listen to the whisper-breathing of Mother and the young ones. Rest is good. What else can one do in this oppressive heat and hunger? We rest and wait. Wait for the sun to move toward Lupathi. Then the shadows will grow, and we can come to life again, if only long enough to die.
I must have fallen asleep, for Mother's voice seems far away. I open my eyes and see the golden light of late afternoon brightening the doorway. Mother's thin frame suddenly interrupts the light. "Come," she says softly. "Come outside into the shadow of the house."
My siblings are there already, squatting in the shade, listening. I join them.
Mother's face is neither sad nor frightened. Her voice is strong and sure. Perhaps some miracle has happened. But who believes such things?
"Children," she says boldly, looking straight into our eyes, "God fed that prophet Elijah when he was in the wilderness with no food to be had. God knows that we're in the wilderness, and He's able to feed us, even here. We must pray. We must pray for our daily food and believe that God will answer us."
What is she saying? I rehearse the words in my mind. Yes, that is what she's saying. Mother truly believes that God will feed us when there is nothing! She truly believes that He will care for us, even if He must send a bird to drop us meat from the cloudless sky! I bow my head as she begins to pray.
The prayer is finished. Mother takes the baby from her back and lays him in my arms. She smiles at the little ones, then turns to me and gives direction. I see a quiet light shining in her eyes, a light unshaded by doubt.
"Put water in the pot," she says. "Put the pot on the fire. I'll go and see what God will do."
With that, Mother turns and walks away. Stunned, I stare after her until she's indistinguishable from the gray-brown bush.
I tie the baby securely onto my back and watch the young ones play. I know they must be hungry. I am. But they don't complain. Mother said God will feed us, and they believe her.
As the sun slips closer to Lupathi, I scan the veldt for signs of Mother. Nothing. Restless, I go into the house and stare out at the silent, darkening mountain. What am I to do? What if I put the pot on the fire and Mother never returns? What if I put the pot on the fire and she comes home with nothing? What am I to do?
The mountain remains silent. I remember how small we look from its top. Does God see more than the roof of our house?I have heard that we must act upon our faith. But which faith shall I act upon? The faith that God can't help us? Or the faith that He'll bring us food?I make the choice and walk outside. The water splashes silver as I pour it into the three-legged black pot. The young ones hear and come to watch. I lift the pot onto the fire and stare into the flame.I'm not sure how much time has passed since Mother left. The shadows are very long, and the mountain is very dark. The children are very tired, and the water is very hot. Will a bird drop meat into the pot? I stare into the cloudless sky and ponder how God might help us. My thoughts are interrupted by a shout.
She's coming.
Mother is coming,
and on her head is a sack of mealie-meal.
As I help Mother lower her wonderful burden to the ground, she laughs with joy and tells me snatches of the story. She was walking along the sand roads, watching and praying for God's provision. She had walked far and was weary when she heard the car. Cars are rare here, so Mother turned to look. The driver saw her face and stopped. He is my father's friend, a friend who had promised to help care for us. He was just coming from the city, where by some miracle he'd found a bit of mealie-meal. When Mother told him the situation, he spoke of his promise to my father and gave her food for our household.
Mother pours some of the white treasure into the boiling water, and we praise God together. It doesn't matter that there is no brown sugar and yellow lemon. There is food. God knows we're in this wilderness. He can feed us even here, one meal at a time.
Weeks have passed since the tomorrow I dreaded so much. Every day we pray for food and put the pot on the fire. Every day God brings us something. There has not been one day when He has left us with nothing.
I finally put the dead twig of the resurrection plant into a cup of water. It's good to look at something green.

His journey to Iran began when it was suggested by the principal of the school (Sheikh Faezi) that some of the students should go to Iran for 4 months and then return to the USA to propagate the religion. Once the group arrived in Iran it was a turning point in the lives of several of the students. It was the month of Muharram when they arrived and Sheikh Usama says, "Muharram is something else in Iran. For those brothers and sisters who have not seen it, it is something to see and feel rather than be described".
It was then that one of Sheikhs' teachers in Iran convinced him by his character that the hawza was the way to go if Sheikh Usama wanted to serve our beloved religion. By the grace of Allah, Sheikh Usama is now a student in post-doctorate studies in Islamic law and the methodologies of deriving laws. Sheikh has also completed his Phd equivalent in Qur'anic studies and will be writing his thesis after the summer.
Excitingly, Sheikh wrote his master's thesis on the relationship between husband and wife according to the Qur'an and Sunnah. Sheikh Usama has given numerous lectures and facilitated seminars and camps on the topic of marital bliss and Islamic family life. Sheikh has a particular focus on developing communities and families that are focused on the preparing for the arrival of the twelfth Imam.
It is with great pleasure that we welcome Sheikh Usama Abdulghani. He comes with over 15 years of lecturing experience, teaching classes and university level courses, and facilitating camps for youths and young adults around the world.

The Many Uses Of A Dump Truck in Austin, TX
There are many reasons why someone would want or need to rent a dump truck in Austin, TX. While some may find the idea of renting such a large vehicle odd, it is done much more often than someone may think. Here are just a few of the many reasons why renting a dump truck is a fine idea.
If a house or commercial building is being demolished, there will be much rubble left over in conjunction with the destruction. To move all of the remains, a large vehicle will be needed. This is where the dump truck will come into play. Since the bed of the dump truck is large, it will be able to haul away the debris in just a few loads, possibly even just one. Anybody who is involved in the tearing down of a building will definitely want to use a dump truck during the job.
These types of job usually involve having to move or otherwise dispose of large pieces of furniture. Kitchen and bathroom plumbing fixtures are also things that tend to need to be moved. A dump truck in Austin, TX is perfect for getting this type of job done. One other beneficial aspect is that many companies, such as Loftin Trucking & Materials LLC, that rent dump trucks, can also aid in the recycling of leftover materials. This is great for the environment and helps to keep the landfills clear of unnecessary materials.
Yard Waste
Most general trash companies would not haul away yard waste if it left at the curbside. For this reason, alternative methods of removal need to be considered. One of these methods of removal can definitely involve the renting of a dump truck. The bed can be filled with much waste, allowing it to be hauled away easily, usually in just one load.
As one can see, renting a dump truck can definitely make any hauling job much easier. They are usually quite affordable, and a professional driver can operate the truck so there should not be a fear of having to operate a heavy vehicle. A dump truck is a great tool to use.

Well we finally have it. The coalition were defeated in the House of Commons last night. Despite their attempts to cajole and bully their backbenchers, 11 Tories rebelled and Amendment 7 passed by just 4 votes. And while Ministers are now jumping to say that it isn't significant, that it's only one vote and that Brexit is on track their faces told a very different story in the Chamber.
This is important. Amendment 7 means that parliament will need to have a meaningful vote on any Brexit deal. And the fact it passed shows that there are Conservative MPs who are willing to break party lines for the greater good. That's a positive for the longer term - if this Bill doesn't come back at report stage with real and meaningful amendments on a number of the key issues, the rebels may well come back.
Fair play to those who broke rank and voted with us. Though it should be said that not a single Scottish Tory MP joined them. Despite the promises from Ruth Davidson ultimately the 13 are really just there as voting fodder - following the party line rather than standing up for what's best for Scotland and their constituents. It's also come to light this morning that as far as David Davis is aware, the Scottish Tory MPs didn't even make any representations to the government regarding the amendment.
So that's the headline news from day 6 and 7 of debating the EU Withdrawal Bill this week. On Tuesday we were focussed on the powers Ministers were giving themselves – the so called "Henry VIII powers". I led for the SNP in that debate and you can watch it here. What worries me most is that if the Ministers truly believe that these powers will only be used to tidy up relevant bits of legislation, why on earth were they so resistant to any attempt to define or limit their use?
On Tuesday we ended up having 5 votes. There was one New Clause – number 65 which would have required the Government to establish new governance arrangements for environmental standards and protections after Brexit. The Tory/DUP coalition held strong and it was defeated 293-315.
There were then votes on four amendments, all related to powers being given to the executive. Amendment 49 would have limited the scope of these powers – meaning the Government could only use them when they were 'necessary' rather than 'appropriate'. That sounds minor but the Law Society of Scotland and others are clear that this was needed. Despite this it was defeated by 295- 312. Amendment 25 would have prevented the powers being used to reduce rights and protections but again this was defeated 292-314.
Labour were back to their old abstaining tricks when it came to Amendment 124. The amendment intended to prevent regulation-making powers being used to prevent the UK's continued membership of the single market. Credit to the 44 Labour MPs who joined us in supporting the amendment but ultimately Corbyn's front bench remained firmly on the fence and the amendment was defeated 93 to 315.
Finally Amendment 158 would have prevented Ministers from modifying the Scotland Act 1998 or Government of Wales Act 2006 by delegated powers. It was defeated 291-315 meaning that the UK Government has the power to change the Scotland Act (in relation to Brexit) without the need for a parliamentary vote. How very democratic and respectful of the devolution settlement…
So back to last night. While I've already talked about the big news, there were other votes but the Government managed to get them all through. Of particular note, Amendment 241 would have required a published strategy for seeking continued reciprocal health care after Brexit (defeated 294-315) and Amendment 26 would have prevented the Government using delegated powers to reduce rights or protections (defeated 291-315).
We have one day left of this stage of the Bill – next Wednesday. It's hard to know if there'll be another rebellion – it's possible on setting the date of exit day in law - but I'll keep you informed.
Question for you as regards Amendment 158.
Can the UK Government follow through on amending the Scotland Act 1998 whilst we are still in the EU?
Would the Tories not have to comply with EU law during any transition period and therefore be unable to amend the Scotland Act until the transition period had ended?
Thanks Tommy for keeping us up to snuff about what's going on at Westminster regarding this awful Brexit. Your tenacity is admirable...don't know how you do it without blowing a gasket!
Time is running out for many of Edinburgh's small businesses. Today I've written to the Chancellor asking for additional emergency assistance for our hospitality sector through the COVID-19 epidemic.

- Activates the mTOR Pathway
- Supports Protein Synthesis
- Turns On The Switch To Natural Gains
One of the most talked-about sports nutrition concepts in recent years is the process of protein synthesis, and for good reason, because the stimulation of protein synthesis is directly tied to the process of muscle growth. As long as protein synthesis exceeds protein breakdown, muscle growth can occur. Of course, there are many components to this concept, such as intense training sessions and sufficiently high protein intake. From a supplementation aspect, one of the more exciting developments has been Phosphatidic Acid (or, PA). Phosphatidic acid is an important signaling lipid that is involved in a number of biological processes; more importantly, it's also involved in the process of protein synthesis. Clinical studies have suggested that PA stimulates the mTOR (or, Mammalian Target of Rapamycin) signaling pathway which is the pathway that controls the process of protein synthesis. Additionally, it has been suggested that PA may also help prevent muscle protein breakdown, making it both anabolic and anti-catabolic.
There are two published clinical studies that suggest when test subjects were given Mediator® Phosphatidic Acid combined with resistance exercise and a high protein diet, it had a positive impact on strength and muscle mass. The first study indicated that test subjects given 750mg of PA achieved a 2.6% increase in lean body mass (LBM) and a 12.7% increase in squat strength. The test subjects that were given a placebo showed only a .1% increase in LBM and a 9.3% improvement in squat strength. The second study found that test subjects were given 750mg of Mediator® PA achieved significantly greater strength and mass gains when compared to test subjects given a placebo. (1,2)
After results like that, it's safe to say you're interested in PA, right? 11 Bravo by Redcon1 is an explosive new product that provides the full clinical dose of this exciting compound. Get ready for some serious gains!

About Portland, Oregon, USA
Portland started as a spot known as "the clearing", which was on the banks of the Willamette about halfway between Oregon City (Oregon) and Fort Vancouver (Washington). In 1843, William Overton saw great commercial potential for this land, but lacked the funds required to file a land claim. He struck a bargain with his partner Asa Lovejoy of Boston, Massachusetts: for 25¢, Overton would share his claim to the 640-acre (2.6 km²) site. Overton later sold his half of the claim to Francis W. Pettygrove of Portland, Maine. Pettygrove and Lovejoy both wished to name the new city after their own home town; this was decided with a coin toss, which Pettygrove won.
At the time of its incorporation on February 8, 1851 Portland had over 800 inhabitants, a steam sawmill, a log cabin hotel, and a newspaper, the Weekly Oregonian. By 1879, the population had grown to 17,500.
Portland's location, with access both to the Pacific Ocean via the Willamette and the Columbia rivers and to the agricultural Tualatin Valley via the "Great Plank Road" through a canyon in the West Hills (the route of current-day U.S. Highway 26), gave it an advantage over nearby ports, and it grew quickly. It remained the major port in the Pacific Northwest for much of the 19th century, until the 1890s, when Seattle's deepwater harbor was connected to the rest of the mainland by rail, affording an inland route without the treacherous navigation of the Columbia River.
The first known reference to Portland as "The City of Roses" was made by visitors to an 1888 Episcopal Church convention, the nickname growing in popularity after the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition where Mayor Harry Lane suggested that the city needed a "festival of roses" The first Portland Rose Festival was held two years later, and remains the city's major annual festival a century later.
Other nicknames for Portland include "Stumptown" (due to early logging to clear land for development), "Bridgetown" (due to its numerous bridges), "Puddletown" (due to the rainy weather), "Rip City" (originally coined by longtime Blazers play-by-play announcer Bill Schonely, and soon extended to the city), "River City" (due to its proximity to the Willamette and Columbia), and "PDX" (after the city's airport code). Former US President George H. W. Bush used to refer to Portland as "Little Beirut" because of the protesters he encountered during his visits.
Portland's climate is temperate and seasonal. The average rainfall ranges between approximately 40 to 45 inches per year depending on location. Portland averages 155 days with measurable precipitation a year. Snowfall is rather uncommon. Although it lies in the Marine West Coast climate zone, Portland shows many characteristics of a Mediterranean climate. The city has mild wet winters, and hot, dry summers. The summer months (June through September) mark the driest period, averaging no more than one inch of rain per month, but it is not uncommon for summer months to receive little or no precipitation. November through April is the rainy season, with 80% of the total annual rainfall occurring in those months. Winter low temperatures hover around 35 °F (2 °C), and summer highs average around 80 °F (27 °C), however summer heat waves with temperatures exceeding 100 °F (38 °C) do occur on occasion. But for the most part, the Portland summers are very pleasant with abundant sunshine. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Portland was -3 °F (-19 °C), set on February 2, 1950. Portland recorded a record high temperature of 107 °F (42 °C) numerous times, and temperatures of 100 °F (38 °C) have been recorded in each of the months from May through September.
N.B "A brief note about pronunciation"
The correct spelling is as above. The pronunciation of the city is as, as one would expect - "Port Land". The state, however, trips up most non-natives. It is pronounced "ORY GUN", NOT "ORY GONE"! And it certainly is NOT spelled Oregan, unless you are from Ireland, then it MIGHT be considered as O'Regan... GRIN! Other local names that instanly identify you as a non-native include Willamette, and Tualatin, these are pronounced "Will Lamb Met" and "Too All It Tin".

'The President Has Been Shot': Highlights from The American Civil War Collection, 1860-1922
The July release of The American Civil War Collection, 1860-1922: From the American Antiquarian Society includes several regimental histories and other recollections of the war. Highlighted here are reminiscences of cavalrymen from Ohio and New York, and a collection of engravings depicting various battles from American history.
The Battles of America by Sea and Land (1875)
By Robert Tomes
Robert Tomes (1817-1882) was a physician, diplomat and writer. He practiced medicine briefly in New York before working as a surgeon for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and making several voyages between San Francisco and Panama. Tomes was appointed U.S. consul at Rheims, France, in 1865 and served until 1867. His The Great Civil War a History of the Late Rebellion can also be found in The American Civil War Collection. In this assemblage of images, published to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the American Revolution, Tomes includes engravings of battles and commanders from many wars including the Civil War.
The Buffalo, NY, Superintendent of Education offered the following endorsement:
Having examined the engravings of your work entitled "BATTLES OF AMERICA," and carefully read some of the advance numbers, I cheerfully recommend it to the reading public. The engravings are of fine execution and are new in design, affording a decided relief from most other works.
In my opinion the engravings are alone worth the price of the work, and with the other matter combined it is a work that will surely command the attention and patronage of all.
The Story of a Cavalry Regiment (1897)
By Thomas West Smith
Thomas Smith served as a private in the Eleventh New York Cavalry during the Civil War and 30 years later was appointed by his fellow soldiers to prepare a history of the regiment. Smith refers to the regiment as "Scott's 900" and writes:
The regiment was organized in December, 1861, at Staten Island, N.Y., and served until September 30, 1865. It participated in campaigns and engagements in nearly all the Southern States, and the graves of its members who lost their lives during its service are scattered from the Potomac River to the Gulf of Mexico, and along the banks of the Mississippi from New Orleans to Memphis, and scores of them found their last resting places beneath the waters of the Atlantic.
Smith includes the reminiscences of many members of the regiment, such as the following by Captain MacClermont who tells of being in Washington, D.C. on April 14, 1865:
The streets were thronged with people, and in the crowd my pocket was picked of my valuable papers. As soon as I discovered my loss, I went to the Chronicle office on Ninth street to advertise a reward for my papers. As I was coming from the office by the rear way, a man rushed in, exclaiming, "The President has been shot in Ford's Theater." I went around the corner to get to the front of the theater on Tenth street. When I got there I saw four men carrying a body. As I knew Mr. Lincoln, I pressed up to the party to see if it really was the President. As I got up close I saw it was Mr. Lincoln who was being carried. One of the party, seeing I that I was an officer in uniform, made way for me to take his place, which I did by placing my hands under Mr. Lincoln's head and shoulders, and in doing so one of my shirt cuffs became stained with the blood of the martyred President.
Recollections of a Cavalryman of the Civil War after Fifty Years, 1861-1865 (1915)
By William Douglas Hamilton
William Hamilton (1832-1916) served in the Civil War as Colonel, Ninth Ohio Cavalry and was later appointed Brevet Brigadier General. Introducing his history of the regiment, Hamilton writes with hindsight and hope:
With the help of some of my old comrades, I have undertaken to dig through accumulated memories of fifty years and record incidents,—many of them commonplace enough to us then, but to which time has added a charm which warms our hearts to each other and to this dear land of ours.
As a regiment the Ninth Ohio Cavalry, which belonged to the Army of the West, operated most of the time under general orders on its own responsibility. Often stationed quite in advance of the infantry, we were thus brought into close touch with the Southern people, and as a result dislikes on both sides were very much modified.
Professional historians have written of the campaigns and battles of the Civil War. The incidents here preserved are side-lights on its dark background but they helped in a small way to modify the bitterness of it all.
This story has been written for the benefit of those who will come after us, and in the hope that there will never be any call for the youth of our country to further develop the art of war. This wish is more sincerely felt since there is a very dear grandson and namesake of mine now in the senior class at the Military School at West Point, and my cherished hope and faith is that he may be assigned to the development, rather than to the defence [sic], of our God-given resources, and that there may never arise any national problems that may not be settled by the wisdom of our advancing civilization without recourse to the barbarity of arms.

Plenty of people dream about visiting a tropical island where they can unwind on the beach and let their worldly worries drift away. But in real life, many of these islands, even the beautiful ones with pristine beaches, hold unknown dangers.
Ilha da Queimada Grande, a little island off the coast of Brazil, looks harmless from a distance. As you approach, it seems like a great place to go rock climbing or relaxing on the beach.
But this island has another name, and when you hear it, you'll understand why no tourist has set foot there in years.
This is like something out of a horror movie! If the government wants us to stay away from this snake-filled nightmare island, I think I'm totally OK with it.

Plans were to be out of town, but a fortunate change in my schedule kept me from leaving, so I was more than happey to find myself crawling around Bushwick to the various spiked cider art affairs that were happening on this nippy pre-Christmas Friday evening. The night, like many of my other art crawls, took some interesting turns.
My first stop was at Norte Maar where they were opening a one weekend only group show titled BUILT which was independently curated by Hannah Daly.
The signature piece of the show had to be sculptor Anthony Browne's Badly Built Cube #17. It was a nine foot wooden cube constructed of discarded lumber and boards he found around the streets of Bushwick.
Norte Maar Owner Jason Andrew showing off the badly made joints
After speaking with Anthony he told me that he had created 16 previous miniature cubes leading up to this room sized cube which you can stand beside, or in, as the dog prefers to do. Jason Andrew didn't realize the previous cubes were miniatures and wanted one in the gallery.
They apparently look larger in photos, so this prompted Anthony to start scavenging for larger scrap. Now at actual size the cube is hard to photograph as you can't get it entirely in frame when the room itself is only a few feet wider and taller than the cube itself.
Curator Hannah Daly standing in front of some of the pieces in the show.
Artist Letha Wilson and her three pieces in the show.
Artist Eric Wolfgang Eisenhut's Untitled, 2011 push pins and one Marlboro 27.
After having a few glasses of wine and hot rummy apple cider I joined artist Julie Torres whom I've teamed with before on her collaborative show So Happy Together, for the walk over to the second venue of the night Brooklyn Oenology.
BOE is a classy wine store and tasting room which carries signature wines with labels painted or drawn by Brooklyn Artists.
Leaving there wine in hand we walked the few blocks to CENTOTTO, a show curated by Paul D'agostino in his "legendary" home gallery about the ending of the year and the beginning of the next.
Artist Layton Hower and some works dedicated to his newborn son "Otis Is His Name 1-4".
Art by Paul Gagner.
Three pieces by Vilaykorn Sayaphet.
Artists Julie Torres, Shanna Maurizi and Rebecca Lit
I got to talking with Judith Braun and L Magazine's Art Editor Benjamin Sutton. Judith and I left and went up to Paper Swan Loft for Bushwick Daily's Holiday Party and the launch of Bushwick Gallery.
Judith Braun talking with Bushwick Daily's founder Katarina Hybenova.
It was a little rainy and I didn't notice my lens got a little smudged when I stepped outside so the next group of pictures are a bit blurry in the middle.

Katarina Hybenova introduced the art on the wall, as well as the writers whom would be reading a short story (or a few short stories) each. It was highly entertaining, and the two kegs they had tapped made everything more entertaining.
Writer Paul Rome reading. They even had closed circuit TV for the people in the back.
Writer Zuska Kepplova who writes a lot for Bushwick Daily did some reading.
The Vagabond Bailsmen.
Katarina Hybenova and artist Ken Kocses.
After the readings ended the party started thinning out, but directly across the hall a party of actors, singers, and playwrites wearing costumes were having a time. Most of them went to Kutztown University, where I lectured a few years ago. A lot of them live in Allentown, and Bethlehem, PA (near where I grew up), and most of them were in "Christmas Circus" themed costumes, as was the theme of the party.
How could I not want to join in? I started talking to some of the partygoers who were chillin in the hallway. Then I was invited to enter the Christmas circus.
Actor Jamie Mohamdein and Actress and Firebird Theatre director Marcie Schlener.
Artist Jason Palmeri and actress Becca Serra.
Playwrite Trystin Bailey hitting a balloon in the air.
Rebecca Brunskill and Julie Remus sitting with the pimp tiger.
I did mention that it was going to get weird didn't I? I didn't get home till the sun was coming up. Just another day in the life of an art juggernaut.

'The Vampire Diaries' Julie Plec Assures Us Damon Will Be Back
'Vampire Diaries' fans — there is a God. Executive producer Julie Plec thankfully revealed in an interview on May 16 that star Ian Somerhalder will be returning for Season 6. There IS hope that Da…
I think the reason for the release of this huge spoiler is because some fans were worried that THE favorite character on the show would not return to TVD next season. Yes, Damon is troubled, hopeful and incredibly sexy, which makes him the whole package, but Ian Somerhalder being the incredible person he is, is what makes us LOVE his character. I'm glad the execs at 'Vampire Diaries' did not keep us suffering for what would have been four excruciating months. Who's excited that Damon will definitely be back to Mystic Falls?

Setup: WP 3.3.2, BP 1.5.5, Events+ 1.2
In Events+ 1.2 users can create and edit Events using the Front-page editor.
This is great! However, one vital feature seems to be missing from the Front-page editor, namely the ability to delete Events.
On the site I'm working on at the moment, some of the users who will be creating Events are non-tech even anti-tech. To gain acceptance of the site from these users I need to keep them out of the backend.
Is there any way to delete Events in the frontend?
Any help much appreciated.

WizKids is excited to announce that its twisted party game of writhing tentacles and ritual summoning, A'Writhe: A Game of Eldritch Contortions, designed by Jay Treat, is now available in North American game stores!
A'Writhe is for two teams of two or three teams of two. Each team consists of a cultist, who is beseeching a Great Old One to twist and contort to corrupt parts of Arkham in an attempt to form a secret pattern only known to the cultist. But other Great Old Ones can (unbeknownst to them) help form the pattern needed. If a team scores three such patterns, that Great Old One is successfully summoned to our plane.
With 4 different game modes and 8 different Great Old Ones to choose from, there are endless ways to create the patterns of corruption needed to secure your ravenous domain over the world.

- 1 Butternut Squash
- 2 tsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- As Needed Water, Butter, Sugar, Fine Sea Salt, Black Pepper
- Cut the squash in half crosswise at the point in the middle where the cylindrical end starts to become the bulbous end.
- Scoop the seeds out (reserve seeds) of the bulbous end and place the squash cut side down onto a lightly greased baking dish and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until very tender. Flip squash over, let cool slightly and scoop out the roasted flesh, avoiding the skin. Mash in a bowl, seasoning to taste with butter, salt, black pepper and sugar if desired. Serve hot.
- To the cylindrical end, peel fully and dice into about 1" pieces. Place into a saute pan and add enough water to come halfway up the squash. Add a pat of butter, generous pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt. Cover with a lid and cook on high heat for about 3 minutes. When the squash in nearly tender, remove the lid and continue to boil until the liquid is nearly evaporated, and becomes a slightly thick glaze. If necessary, adjust seasonings.
- To the seeds, remove any orange stringy bits and pat the seeds dry very well with a paper towel. Place the seeds in a bowl and lighly toss with the extra virgin olive oil, seasoning to taste with fine sea salt. Lay out into a single layer onto a microwave safe plate. Place in the microwave and cook for about 3 minutes. Remove, let cool and toss and break up any seeds sticking together. Spread out again into a single layer and microwave another 2 minutes. The seeds should start to brown slightly and become more crisp. If necessary, microwave more adding 1 minute at a time until they are crisp. Enjoy!

text: Publishers & Platforms On Its 10th Birthday, Funny Or Die Takes Us Through 10 of Its Funniest Branded Videos Chris Bruss picks one from each year since the launchBy Tim Nudd|April 13, 2017 Share By Tim Nudd|April 13, 2017 Share Yesterday, Funny Or Die turned 10 years old. Founded by Will Ferrell, along with comedy writing and directing veterans Adam McKay and Chris Henchy, FOD has been on a wild ride since the 2007 release of "The Landlord," a short that featured McKay's daughter as a caustic landlord demanding rent from a fearful Ferrell.Branded content has been a big part of the FOD's operation since nearly the very beginning, producing innovative and amusing advertising for brands big and small, as well as creative viral smashes like President Obama's appearance on "Between Two Ferns" to promote Healthcare.gov.Adweek asked Chris Bruss, president of digital at Funny Or Die and co-founder of FOD's commercial production company Gifted Youth, to pick noteworthy branded videos from each of FOD's 10 years in business—and tell us how they came together.Check out his picks below. 2007 – Superbad (Columbia/Sony)This was the very first brand deal—or really, ad revenue deal—we ever did at FOD. August of 2007. Sony sponsored a sketch on Funny Or Die to promote their upcoming Superbad release. We would go on to make a ton of these "stunt" junket videos over the next decade. In fact, we just released our first ever 360 branded content video, which we shot for Disney at the Beauty & the Beast junket. In case you don't recognize him, the smug British "journalist" in this Superbad video is the insanely talented filmmaker Edgar Wright, who would, of course, go on to direct Michael Cera in 2010's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. This video was the brainchild of Superbad producer Judd Apatow, who would become a Funny Or Die principal partner later in 2007. Superbad Junket Meltdown from Judd Apatow 2008 – Semi-Pro (New Line/Warner Bros)Funny Or Die launched a seven-college comedy tour in early February 2008 in support of the theatrical release of Will Ferrell's New Line Cinema comedy Semi-Pro. This video is just one of about two dozen videos shot on the road with Will and comedians Zach Galifianakis, Demetri Martin and Nick Swardson. Funny Or Die's Adam McKay acted as emcee for the shows, and Funny Or Die's up-and-coming director Jake Szymanski shot the backstage and from-the-road video content. Funny Or Die has produced many live events since then, including the well-known "Oddball Comedy Festival," but this Semi-Pro tour was the first. It's The Ass 'n Balls Show! from Will Ferrell 2009 – The Proposal (Disney)Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds (and Betty White) Behind the Scenes of The Proposal A year before her Snickers ad on the Super Bowl, this video showcased Betty White at her best—who knew she could be so irreverent!—and likely contributed to introducing her to a new generation of fans who would later champion and campaign for her to host SNL. Drew Antzis, who directed Funny Or Die's "The Landlord," shot and edited the sketch, with Anne Fletcher, director of The Proposal, directing. Sandra Bullock & Ryan Reynolds: Behind the Scenes of The Proposal from Funny Or Die 2010 – Halo Reach (Xbox/MFST)In 2010, video game publishers really started to put massive marketing campaigns together for their biggest titles—at and above the level of what film studios were doing for their summer blockbusters. This video was Microsoft wanting to do something that would really makes some noise. They were very enthusiastic about the concept, and were great partners. We shot LL Cool J and Zachary Levi on the same day, at the same location, in Los Angeles. The USC marching band—yes, that's the real band—and other driveway/doorbell stuff was shot at a different house in L.A. on a different day. And then we shot both Snoop Dogg and Wayne Newton up in Vegas, but at two different locations. That's actually Wayne's real living room.Continue ReadingPages: 1 2 3 Share http://adweek.it/2pdXKqU copy Tim Nudd @nuddTim Nudd is a former creative editor of Adweek. Adweek Adweek

Ah yes, it is the political silly season yet again. This year the race will be made even more silly by the fact that a Clinton is the presumptive Democratic party nominee and that a raging egomaniac tapping into the populist bigotry of white Baby Boomers in the form of billionaire (?) Donald Trump has hijacked the GOP nomination. Those in the darkest corners of the conservative Internet are coming forward with refreshed notions that the Clintons are not just an American political power, but an amoral family that will kill to maintain their political power, privilege and position.
Just today I read another blurb at Views From The Right Side where the murder of Mary Caitrin Mahoney, a former Clinton White House intern, in 1997 has been trotted out as a "suspicious" murder since it had a quaternary connection to President Clinton. The comments at VFRS quote without credit a blog called The Political Insider which writes about these decades old conspiracy theories as if they are fresh news.
The case of Mary Caitrin Mahoney, however has not only been solved but the killer, Carl D. Cooper is now currently in prison after pleading guilty not recently but in 199 to the triple homicide at a Georgetown Starbucks. This fact will never convince those that hate the Clintons because it is simply easier to believe in the unseen lie than the clearly visible Truth.

Has nothing to do with Alinsky and his works can be effective for any organization no matter which side of the political spectrum. This simple point is that societies change constantly over time. Even a man like you must have noticed that historically the values and positions you hold have been pushed to the fringes in the name of Progressive approaches to more civil liberties.
Have all the problems within socio-political realm in America been resolved? Of course not. I believe as as many in your country do that Progressives have a better approach at making things actually work for the benefit of all. You are constantly on about how religion is being taken away from Americans. This isn't the case at all. What has happened is that more Americans are spiritual now in the modern technological age and in your youth the Church was a potent force for control. That control, when wedded with the unearned privilege granted to you because of your race, is the essence of what conservatism became after Nixon's first election in 1968 and remained so until the election of Barack Obama in 2008. What you lost Neocon01 was the ability to bully and this is what draws you to Trump. You would have laughed at him had he run in 1984 and equally Reagan today would be called a RINO. Your purity tests for conservatives have made it possible for Hillary Clinton a candidate that could never be elected in any other political climate. But you as a member of the GOP base which is now the Trump base refuse to allow the party to moderate and thereby grow. Democrats have a similar problem in that they must move to the Left if they wish to maintain their coalition of women, minorities and millenials for at least a generation. This is certainly the death of GOP as a force in federal elections and over time they will decline, by 2030 in state elections. By mid century, when you and I can have a conversation face to face, the Democratic party will likely be fighting the same internal battles as the GOP is now. But by then Libertarians and what remains of the conservative movement will likely have 35% of the electorate. In the end you are the victim of "living in interesting times." You get to see the end of the two party system it just isn't happening as you thought it would in the middle of the 1908s. Back then the GOP seemed invincible and the Democrats were unable to solidify the coalitions that kept them in congressional power for over fifty years. I can beat this issue to death but at its foundation the real question for political animals like you is where will the voters that support your social political and economic beliefs come from when nearly 70% of your voters will be dead before the middle of the century, women are running from your draconian views on their personal medical issues, young people are finding solace not in ritual but in technology and minorities are treated like second class citizens?

You aren't interested in following the Constitution. Your side is only interested in keeping a firm grip on the power to tell people No! You are fighting the wrong battle Neocon01. You should do as we do and seek solutions to problems that are plaguing America today. We should be working together to solve the problems of kids being saddled with debt after getting a college education, what to do in ten years when the Boomers are dying in droves, how to make immigration more compassionate yet keeping those that are a danger to the Republic out of the country, helping black youth help themselves by training them to be the infrastructure refit workers of the next decade by giving them the construction job skills they need and by securing the civil rights of both Christians and members of the LGBTQ community. That is what government should be doing and I am sure that even you and I can find common ground on those issues and possibly many more.

I want all the conservatives in America to live long lives and die suffering of natural causes. Maybe this clarifies my position on things just a little?

The Depraved Excesses of Homosexual Lifestyles
© O. R. Adams Jr., 2009
Stanley Monteith, M.D., states:
Studies show that male homosexuals average between 20 and 106 partners every year.
The average homosexual has 300 to 500 partners in his lifetime. Thirty-seven percent engage in sadomasochism, at least 28% have engaged in sodomy with more than a thousand men.
Compared to heterosexuals, male homosexuals are 8 times more likely to have had hepatitis, 14 times more likely to have had syphilis, and 5,000 times more likely to have contracted AIDS.[6]

Disease rates are one of the few undisputed facts about homosexuals. The Centers for Disease Control says that in 2008 "men who have sex with men" accounted for 63% of new syphilis cases. If men are half the population and 3.3% of them are homosexual, it means that 1.65% of Americans account for 63% of the country's syphilis cases.
It's even worse for AIDS. In 2010, homosexuals were about 200 times more likely than everyone else to be diagnosed with HIV. However, the CDC says they are only 15 times more likely than everyone else to get Hepatitis B and about 17 times more likely to have anal cancer.
The CDC says both homosexuals and lesbians are more likely than heterosexuals to take illegal drugs and drink too much—but it gives no figures. The American Lung Association says homosexuals smoke cigarettes at about twice the rate of heteros.

Welcome to first grade!!! I am looking forward to a new school year full of fun activities and to helping your first graders develop a love for learning!
First grade is a terrific time full of learning and growing. We will make new friends and learn, play, and laugh together every day. We will read lots of books to both inform and entertain us. We will also make books and stories of our own. In first grade we will learn math skills through engaging games. First graders are scientists and geographers too. We will observe and experiment inside and outside to learn all about the world around us.
Have you seen all of the "Back to School" supplies out at the stores already? The only things you will need to provide for school are a backpack and a homework folder. Please designate one special pocket folder to be used for school papers only. Label it clearly on the outside with your child's first and last name. The school provides writing and art tools. It is not necessary to bring these from home.
Throughout the year you will be able to find out about our class by this website. Bookmark it and check it often! I update the announcements page daily. The Nuts and Bolts section will be especially helpful as you prepare for the school year.
I would love an opportunity to meet you and your child before school begins. If you can, please drop in on Thursday, August 30th anytime between 1:30 and 2:30 to meet me and see our classroom.

Bean's 'Flightplan' Trailer
Faithful Spy REZ dropped me a line this morning: Good morning, I went to the theater to see Interpreter this weekend and saw the trailer for Flightplan staring Jodie Foster, with Sean Bean. Touchstone did not have the trailer up yet but it is on MSN today. [More]
