Except after ten minutes into his session when he decided he was done 😆. Luckily I had some special assistants with me that day and I was still able to capture plenty of adorable images as well as some super cute pouty faces.
Can't wait for his nine month session!

Bunny Nature FreshGras for rodents & rabbits
Bunny Nature FreshGras for rodents & rabbits!
For many animals, hay is part of the basic diet. The hay content in the digestive plan is high and therefore the quality of the hay is also very important. Decisive for the acceptance, but also for the balance of the diet and the entire coverage of the needs.bunnyNature Fresh grass Hay stands for the highest quality with a maximum diversity of plants.
Origin of quality and processing of the Bunny Nature FreshGras
The multiplicity of plants, the processing and the fiber structure are decisive for premium hay. We ensure constant product quality with our high standards. We pay attention to the fact that the hay offers a maximum of taste and nutrients for animals due to its multitude of plants. We only use prudent indoor-dried hay to ensure that the taste and nutrients are not lost during processing. Only in this way we avoid the harmful influences of the environment and the hay remains natural,
such as immediately after the harvest and without the loss of vitamins.
And so the hay should be fiber-rich, crunchy and dust-free, and nothing else would end up in our pockets. For optimal tooth wear and a healthy gastrointestinal tract, the crunchy culinary stems and the optimal raw fiber content are necessary. And dust does not belong in a bag of hay at all. On the contrary, it would be unhealthy for the airways and the eyes of the animals. We ensure a particularly good quality of the hay, so that the animals will do well.
The FreshGras consists of no less than 18 different plant species:
Doddegras, fescue, large foxtail, ryegrass, red fescue, field meadow grass,
ostrich, redcurrant, red fescue with suckers, perennial ryegrass, dandelion, silver herb, wall, yarrow, narrow plantain, white clover, red clover, roller clover.

Harry Hurley's Commentary: Aline Dix and Hamilton Township Republicans
Hurley in the Morning has learned and confirmed that the Hamilton Township Republican Committee has decided against nominating incumbent Republican Committeewoman Aline Dix for re-election.
Instead, they have formally nominated John Kurtz, who is the President of the Mays Landing Merchants Association. Kurtz is the owner of a long established florist shop in Hamilton Township and was recently the Businessman of the Year in Mays Landing.
This is a very rare occurrence. It's usually a mere formality for an incumbent to sail to an easy re-nomination for election.
I have also confirmed that Committeewoman Aline Dix intends to run for re-election ... in what will now be a contested June Primary Election.
The stakes are very high in Hamilton Township this year. The winner of this seat, will tip the majority one way or the other. Republicans now hold a 3-2 majority.
This contested Primary Election is potential risky political business in that Republicans will have to spend money and no doubt attacks will be made ... with the Democrats potentially rallying behind one candidate, who will not have to compete in a contested June Primary.
Dix has been seen by many Republican Leaders in Hamilton Township as combative and not a reliable teammate. Dix will now have to win a Republican Primary Election for her own seat or she will be out.

After toiling in the NFL for a number of highly paid, but disappointingly unproductive seasons, Tim Tebow has decided to take his show on a different road.
In the midst of their gold medal run at the Rio Olympics, the U.S. Women's Olympic Gymnastic Team announced the introduction of Tebow into their ranks for the upcoming competitive season.
Tim Tebow stated, "I will be blessed to represent our faithful country and God with my new fellow teammates on the U.S. Women's Olympic Gymnastics Team."
When asked why he chose women's gymnastics as his next pursuit Tebow replied, "I kind of felt rushed into the things in the NFL, which I believe played a part in my perceived lack of success there. With the Olympic Team I have four years to prepare before I compete on the world's stage."
Questioned on the logistics of joining a women's team Tebow explained, "I am just walking the path that the Lord takes me on. I trust in Him to sort out these type of logistics."
Coach Maggie Haney was asked her opinion of the addition of Tim Tebow to her team.
"I'm really not sure why they'd allow a man to join the women's team. Maybe someone on the Olympic Committee was looking to drum up some merchandising sales."
Some of his new teammates were a little more understanding. Aly Raisman speculated that maybe Tim was "not gender specific" and had "every right to compete with whatever team he felt comfortable on."
Simone Biles added, "She sounds really nice. I can't wait for her to join the team!"
As always, it is expected that some overblown coverage and polarized fan reaction will follow Tebow wherever he goes.
Tebow concluded by explaining, "I'm just using the gifts God gave me to prove to everyone that if you believe, you can pretty much accomplish anything you want to."

DC Generator EMF Equation
Here we going to deduce an equation for DC generator output voltage.DC Generator EMF Equation explained in easy way below.
Let ,
Ø= flux/pole in webers
Z = total number of armature conductors
=Number of slots + Number of conductors per slot
P = number of poles
A = number of parallel paths in armature
[ A = 2 ... for wave winding & A = P ... for lap winding ]
N = speed of armature in r.p.m.
Eg = EMF induced in any parallel path of armature.
As per Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
Average e.m.f generated per conductor
= dØ/dt volts (N=1) .......................(1)
During one revolution of armature in a 'P' pole generator, each armature conductor cuts the magnetic flux 'P' times so that flux cut per one conductor in one revolution is,
=dØ = PØ webers .......................(2)
Armature revolves 60/N times one second. Therefore the time required by it for one revolution is dt.
i.e.,dt=60/N seconds .......................(3)
EMF Equation of a D.C. Generator
Substituting equations (2) and (3) in equation (1), we get,
e.m.f generated/conductor = dØ/dt = (ØPN)/60 volts
The total number of armature conductors per parallel path=Z/A
The total EMF generated / path (Eg)= PØN/60*(Z/A)

Introduction: Cheap, Good Quality Shuriken Throwing Star
I've searched and searched, but no where could I find instructions on how to make a nice, high quality, amateur throwing star. In this instructable, I will guide you through the process of making a steel shuriken for under 10$ (if you already have the tools).
DISCLAIMER: This is a WEAPON and is not for just throwing around at people, pets etc. It can SERIOUSLY injure or even KILL somebody. The blades are extremely SHARP. I am not responsible for anything that you do with this. If you are foolish enough to throw it at a person or a pet then just stop reading now.
Have fun and BE SAFE!!
Step 1: Getting the Stuff
A minimum of what you need:
-A metal plate of some sort, relatively thick. It should be no larger than 5 inches or you will waste a lot of material. I used a galvanized steel electrical box cover I got from home depot for about $0.60. This works VERY well.
-An angle tool, or something that can measure and draw straight lines exactly perpendicular to the sides of the plate
-A pencil
-A jigsaw OR:
-A hacksaw with steel cutting blades (much slower and harder)
-If a jigsaw, high speed steel cutting blades. A pack of 3 cost me about 5 bucks.
-A bench grinder or equivalent (steel belt grinder, dremel, etc)
-3/8" steel drill bit. Mine was a zirconium coated bit from a big set my dad got. You could also buy a cobalt bit, but a 3/8" one would run you about $10. Ouch
-A drill that can run at least 800 RPM, hopefully with a lot of torque
-Metal file
-240 grit metal sanding sand paper (needed to make the pencil marks show up on the plate)
-A drill press (I didn't have one so I was just careful. It isn't vital for the holes to be that precise)
-Some silicon carbide metal sandpaper (60, 120, 240, and if you want it really smooth, 400 and/or even 600 grit paper. Whatever you want to do.
Step 2: Prepping the Plate
In order to draw on the plate with pencil, it needs a rougher texture than the glass smooth-ness that it comes with. You only need to prep one side.
Start with 60 grit silicon carbide sandpaper if the metal has lots of bumps. If not just use 240 and sand in small circles until the whole thing is done. You should be able to make a mark with your pencil.
Step 3: Drawing the Base Square
Find two touching sides that are perfectly flat. If all of them are flat, then just pick a top and a side and scribble close to the very edge. Only put the flat of the right angle tool on these sides and only measure from these two sides. Now measure and draw a 2 1/2 inch square in the very center of the plate. For example, on my 4 inch plate, I had to measure in 3/4 of an inch in from the edge and drew a line. Then I measured 2 1/2 inches farther and drew a line there. So now I have 2 parallel lines that are 2 1/2 inches apart. Repeat this in the other direction and you will have a perfect square. Now, find the midpoint of each side of the square and mark them. Now draw a straight line between them. You should now have 4 small squares. The picture can better show what I mean.
Step 4: Drawing the Star
From each midpoint, measure 3/8" straight in and mark there. These are the inside points of the star. From there, draw a line from the two nearest points of the square to the newly marked spot. Repeat this 4 times on each side. You should now have a basic star shape. See the picture if you don't quite get it.
Step 5: Drilling the Holes (optional But Looks Way Cooler)
Now if you have a drill press, this step will be a breeze. If not, then, like me, you just have to be careful. You are going to be drilling at inside star points. It's kind of hard to explain, so look at the image for reference. You are going to use the 3/8" drill bit for these holes. If you don't have a drill press, it would probably be easier if you use a bit about half the size to drill a hole first. It's hard to get a big bit to go exactly where you want in one shot. You can be more precise with smaller bits. Also, if you want to counter any wind blowing it off target, drill a hole in the center.
Step 6: Cutting It Out
Now it's time to cut the thing out. If you have a jigsaw and you drilled the holes, start from the inside of the holes and go out. If you didn't drill the holes, then you just have to start from the outside. If you don't have a jigsaw, then don't bother trying to start from the inside of the holes. You need to clamp the plate down, I shouldn't need to explain the reason for that.
(The ideal tool for this step would be a bandsaw, but most people don't have one of those, and they're pretty expensive. However, you could go down to your local machine shop and see if they'll cut it out for you)
Step 7: Cleaning It Up
Now you need to clean up the edges of the star, since they will probably be pretty rough. So, using the grinder, flatten the edges up, or use a file, which will take a lot longer.
Step 8: Sharpening
This step is semi-optional, but I would recommend it. Now that your sides are flat, use the grinder (or a file) and grind edges onto the star. They should be at about a 45 degree angle. When you finish grinding an edge with the grinder, quench it in some water and slosh it around to cool it off (its SUPER hot).
Step 9: Finish!
Now your star is complete! If you want, you can make the edges razor sharp with a fine file, or whatever, but remember this isn't super high quality steel, so it probably won't hold an edge for long.
Now remember, Have Fun but BE SAFE!!!

aaghr how hard will it be to make one of theses with a hacksaw and file ..... i can find any metal at my harware store ... and these shuriken stars are sooo awsome
I made one without cutting or filing
Thank you for this reliable information.
Weapons are designed primarily to cause death. Certain poisons might enhance a weapon's ability to stun or keep the target down. I agree that poisons aren't something to play around with, but I also believe that poisons make for effective weapons.
if you heat it up to red hot and throw it in water it gets harder but more brittle its a give take thing it can hold an edge or not chip or break
actually, you want an orange heat on the steel, and yeah throw it in oil, heads for flare-ups. also, when you're done with that, polish it with sandpaper, and then take a blowtorch to it. the polished surface will change colors, so pay attention. when it hits a gold to dark yellow color, let it cool and you're good to go. don't hold the torch in one spot, though, keep it moving so you get an even temper.
depends on the steel alloy. tempering is more in-depth than that, and varries from one metal to another. there ARE charts on the internet though, if you happen to know what kind of steel you actualy have....
for the source of the plates, i'd say that'd be hard to track down. i would also worry about galvanized steel. if it's zinc plated, at the very least people do this where it is /very/ well ventilated. safety!
this is a good technique, origionally used for knifes, but it is very hard, not easily done for a person mot knowledge in the subject, it takes practice
i've heard of doin somethin similar, its just instead of water, you use oil, and it increases the carbon content of the steel, of coarse with thowing weapons you typically dont want something very brittle, due to the amount of shock force caused from impact
made some of these once, got a nice scar to prove it! It spun free when I was drilling the hole. Not pretty site. Red stuff on stainless steel. My own. Now I wear gloves, thick gloves, leather re-enforced gloves for welding! We learn by our mistakes and sometimes stupidity, too late! I eventually gave them away. Everytime I reached for them I got a cut! Not practical or worth the effort to make. So don't bother. Ninjas can keep them. I'll keep my 44 magnum!
i'd like to suggest to anyone who's going to try and make these that you drill the hole first.... then cut out the sharp bits. though i abhor gloves /anywhere/ near a drill or saw... for the same reason you dont wear a ring or other jewlry around power tools.
asside from the points, the sharp edges should be the /last/ thing to be put on, and that goes for anything sharp. the points are inevitable due to the shape, but dont you dare sharpen them till they're finished. and even then be careful. square edges still cut, especialy if they get caught by a drill.
very cool I will use this.
I actually make these on a semi-regular basis, but I hardened mine with Oil, so you can throw them at concrete, and it barely dulls the blade, so with a wood target they work beautifully!
could use an angle grinder with a cutting disk in it. if you concentrate its easy to be accurate :D
Try using a dremal for de burring. Mine was great for that. I polished mine up to a shine as sugested by pearldrummer. I was able to use it to reflect the sun light into a friends eyes befor throwing it, getting a better score because I could see the target. He could not see it as well for a few mins.
Too bad these are illegal in California :(
Good thing I live in Missouri. No one cares here! I can ship ANYTHING from Trueswords to my house, and it tells you states it cant ship t
Too bad these are illegal in Holland and many country's aswell.. but in my opinion if you practice safe and without bothering anyone.. the who cares ;)
This has to be the best shuriken tutorial i've seen so far ;)
Using a metal punch will help your bit stay centered.
This looks kinda like a metal handle with a sharp pin coming out of it, and it's sprung load so that it will 'click' when you press it all the way down, creating a small dent in the metal.
Should be easy to find at any hardware store.

Pulaski Week
Charles Hayes seemed to be in good humor Monday afternoon [December 16, 1996] despite going to the hospital the night before. He said he had been suffering with a high fever and pain in his lungs that prompted his trip to seek medical attention. Hayes said doctors advised him that he was suffering from a touch [of] pneumonia and prescribed a high dosage of antibiotics.
If Hayes is concerned that he is being held without bond on a federal charge of murder for hire it was not evident during an interview.
The purported ex-CIA operative gleefully spoke of his recent activities which he says will include bringing a lawsuit against an FBI agent and initiating an investigation into the office of U.S. Attorney Joseph Famularo.
Hayes said he is suing FBI Agent David Keller for his role in Hayes' arrest on the charge that he hired a "hit man" to kill his son.
Hayes now claims he was playing a game of cat and mouse with the FBI.
"(Keller) moved two days before I could," he said. "It back fired on me, but that's all right."
Hayes said his son, John, have been embroiled in a legal battle over the estate of Hayes' mother, the late Madge Beckett.
"(Keller) lied," Hayes said. "I'm going to charge him with six counts of perjury. I have positive proof, in writing and on tape, that he lied.
"I intend to carry this forward. If necessary I'll call a special grand jury, and I can do it," Hayes explained.
"This will also serve to Mr. Keller's notice not to transfer any property before this suit is filed because he'll just hve to re-transfer it," he stated.
He said Keller is also guilty of malfeasance of office.
"Keller will be indicted. You can bet the farm on that," he said.
In addition to Keller, Hayes said he is taking on the Justice Department.
"I have a congressman and a senator calling for an investigation into Joseph Famularo's office," Hayes said. He declined to name those clamoring for the investigation.
He expressed optimism that the investigation would bear fruit.
"I have positive proof of misfeasance and malfeasance of office of the Department of Justice," he said.
Hayes was not specific about what proof he had, but indicated that it involves the charge against him which he said was manufactured.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Martin Hatfield also falls under Hayes' scrutiny.
"(Hatfield) did not do his homework and he's going to have a hard time getting his toupee on straight when I get through with him," Hayes said.
Hatfield will be prosecuting Hayes in the trial set to begin Jan. 13.
When told that several of his CIA related exploits have found their way onto the Internet, Hayes seemed surprised.
"I'm not looking for fame and publicity," he said.
He noted that the notoriety "makes it hard to be an operative."
"I've had book offers, movie offers. I've turned them all down," he said. "But, I may have to take one after this."
Hayes seems to be enjoying himself in the Laurel County Detention Center. If he's worried at all about the charge that could land him in jail for 10 years it doesn't show.
Apparently he spends a lot of his time opening his mail.
"I get at least 60 letters a day that come here to the jail, not counting what come to Nancy," he noted.
He said the contents of the letters are words of support from loyal followers.

01.25.11 [dramabeans] Lee Jung-jin in High Cut (…in bed)
For those of you having Do Soo withdrawals (like me!) , enjoy ~
Mrowr. This is an Lee-Jung-jin-looking-mighty-pretty post, so I may just run out of brainpower halfway through it. Something about this man just makes my brain shut off, leaving me with just enough energy to drool. Um, figuratively speaking.
So here we have a photo shoot for High Cut magazine, in which Lee Jung-jin is lounging around, cavorting on a bed, baring chest and belly and boxer shorts. Also looking mighty carefree and happy, which is like a cheap shot to get us to Awww over him given how tortured and hurty he was in his last drama, Runaway Plan B. There there, Mr. Hot Scruffy Cop, Rain will make it better.
(Seriously, their bromance is a thing of beauty, though altogether WAY too short-lived in the drama, and underdeveloped. The Runaway special was pretty hilarious, though, with the entire first fifteen minutes basically acting as Lee Jung-jin's love letter to Rain. It was awesome.)
These days, Lee Jung-jin can be seen in the KBS2 reality show Qualifications of a Man… which I'll have to get to watching right away. (Is it any good, variety watchers out there?)
And here my brain shuts off so I'll have to sign off and go stare some more

12.21.10 [allkpop]Lee Na Young has yet to receive her wages for "Fugitive"
Actress Lee Na Young has filed a lawsuit against the producers of "Fugitive" for unpaid wages.
A representative from Lee Na Young's agency, KeyEast Entertainment, stated, "Lee Na Young has yet to receive a single penny for her salary since the filming of 'Fugitive' began."
Apparently, all actors and actresses from the "Fugitive" series have failed to receive their full wages; Lee Na Young's complaint seems to strengthen the likelihood of future lawsuits from the issue.

I'm having one of those "up and down" months this month. I always knew this was going to be one roller-coaster of a journey but sometimes you're just not prepared for how utterly draining and confidence-denting the lows can be, and I honestly thought I was managing to hide how down I was feeling. But I obviously wasn't, because my husband pointed out the other day that he can see how I've let things affect me over the past few weeks. He's noticed how I've actually deliberately been looking for ways in which to distract myself from writing, from doing anything other than sitting down at my desk, and whilst this now means we have a squeaky-clean bathroom and spotless skirting boards, there's not been much in the way of any creative writing going on. And what he said to me has taken a couple of weeks to sink in - he said I was losing sight of why I started writing in the first place - but he's absolutely right. I have lost sight of why I started writing in the first place. And I know why that is, too.
I've let myself get too bogged down with promotion, sales figures, worrying about not being good enough or not putting myself out there enough. I've worried about whether I'm writing the kind of books people actually want to read and I've let myself become obsessed, almost, with trying to be like other independent authors who seem to be constantly on the go at events and book signings - and here am I just sitting in my little office, writing books, but is that enough? Shouldn't I be out there, too, getting my face known, plugging my books, looking for a publisher? Well, that's easier said than done, in reality. And deep down I know that.
I can't be like other authors, and it's a bad idea to even try and emulate others anyway. I was quite happy being myself before, and that's what I need to concentrate on. Being myself, knowing my limits, knowing what I'm capable of in terms of promoting my books and myself as an author, and being happy with that. It's pointless setting the bar any higher than it can realistically go, but in trying to do just that I've lost a lot of the enthusiasm I had for writing. I've let everything else get in the way, so much so that I lost sight of the reasons why I love doing this - because I do love writing. More than I can ever explain to anyone, really. It's in my blood, it's all I've ever wanted to do, but just because I can't be out and about at book fairs and conferences, just because I'm not featuring on local radio or in the local newspapers (mainly because none of them will give you the time of day unless you're attached to a publisher) does that mean I can't call myself an author? No, of course it doesn't. It's just a hang-up I need to get over.
I've never been someone who can put themselves in the limelight comfortably, but there are times when I regret not doing so when I actually had something to brag about. This time last year my books were selling well - very well. There were even a couple of months when I sold over a thousand books. But I didn't really mention that fact. I didn't shout loud enough when Bon Voyage got to number 53 in the Paid Kindle Top 100, or when No Matter What became a Bestseller in Contemporary Romance. In fact, every one of my books has been a Bestseller in one category or another at one time or another, but I stayed quiet about it because I still find it very hard to shout about myself, or my books, even though I'm proud of every single one of them. Do I regret that? Yes. I regret it. I regret staying quiet about my achievements, letting people know that I'd actually made a success of something.
|This book hit the Kindle Top 100 charts at #53 last May
|A one-time bestseller in contemporary romance and sagas...
I'm never going to be an "out-there" author - it isn't in me, and I don't think it ever was. I've always been a bit of a loner, always spent a lot of time on my own, which is why I love writing so much - so maybe I should make the most of that, celebrate who I am, and just get back to doing what I love to do. And I love to write.
So, in order for me to get right back on track, I'm making some rules for myself this week. And those rules consist of me switching off the internet, keeping away from Facebook/Twitter or any other form of social networking so that I can concentrate fully on getting back to where I need to be. I need to find me, I suppose - I need to find that author inside me again. And for me to be able to do that I need to really force myself to have at least a few days of doing nothing but writing.
It might work, it might not. And this isn't a post designed to be full of self-pity, that's not how I want this to come across at all. I want it to serve as the kick up the backside I badly need. Call it cathartic, if you like. Getting it all down in a blog post makes me realise just what it is I need to do. And I know now that in terms of getting the word out about my books, well, I've got an uphill struggle as I compete with some incredibly talented, hard-working indie authors that are currently out there. But I can only do what I know I can do, and it's ridiculous to try and aim higher than I can realistically go. But that doesn't mean to say that I'm not aiming high, of course I want to be the best I can be, and I will continue to work as hard as I possibly can. I just need to concentrate on myself for a few days. I need to concentrate on my writing, because my husband really was right - I had lost sight of my reasons for doing this, and it never was about making money or becoming some kind of celebrity, although those perks would be great, of course they would. I write because I love to create stories that people want to read - simple as that. And I know there are people out there who love what I do, and that means the world to me. That in itself means I've achieved my dream. Anything else is one hell of a bonus.
And another thing I also want to be able to concentrate on is helping other indie authors like myself - help to give them a little more exposure, because we all need as much of that as we can get. Trying to do it all on your own on a permanent basis is possible, but it really is very, very hard. I've learnt so much on my writing journey so far, and I'm still learning every day, so I'd love to be able to help those that are just starting out with help and advice. But I can't get my head around any of that until I've sorted myself out.
So, I shall be keeping away from social networking for the next few days, at least. It'll be hard, in fact, I don't know how I'm going to manage it, but sometimes I'll use the likes of Facebook as a way to distract myself from writing, and in doing that I know I've spent days just wasting time when I could have been working on my latest book, days I've now lost, and I need to get them back. So, just one week of doing nothing but writing, and I know it won't be easy, but I think it's necessary. I'm extremely lucky in that I can get up every day, do the short commute to my little office in the back bedroom and spend hours doing what I love, so I'm not going to waste those hours by worrying or obsessing about things I can't control, when I have the ability and the time to work on what I can.
Does any of this make sense? I hope so. And I hope other authors out there can understand where I'm coming from, that sometimes we do just need to lock ourselves away and concentrate on that thing we love doing - writing. And I know I may not be the next JK Rowling or Jackie Collins, but I can be the first Michelle Betham. ;-)

Review of
Lois Lane: A Celebration of 75 Years, edited by Robin Wildman ISBN 9781401247034
Five out of five stars
Lois Lane has had many incarnations through the many adventures of Superman, what is often lost on the modern reader is how she was originally portrayed. In the early stories of Superman, she was an energetic, fearless reporter with a strong personality that backed down from no one. Everyone from the powerful villains to her male co-workers were subject to her ire as she pursued the story, even when there was great danger.
In the middle years, she was femaled out a bit, becoming less of a strong woman, sometimes depicted as an emotional wimp. However, in the last years, Lois has once again been portrayed as a powerful, dynamic woman bent on getting the story and changing the world.
Her early depiction is contrary to how female co-stars were generally depicted in entertainment at that time, present only to scream and faint at the slightest hint of danger. This is a welcome relief and shows how comics can be a force leading to social change. Although the artwork, dialog and storylines have changed, the Lois Lane of the last years is once again the Lois of the early years.
The slightly over 20 stories in this collection form what could be a textbook on how comics have changed over what is essentially their existence. Society changes over time and the forms of entertainment both reflect and drive the change.

It's always gratifying to learn that your work is read. It's even more heartening when other talented analysts have found it worthy of a response. For that honor, I thank The Atlantic's David Frum and National Review's Peter Spiliakos. Spiliakos's essay in response to my column on the terms upon which the Republican coalition can be reformed in a post-Trump environment merits a brief reply.
Spiliakos calls for "honesty and humility" in the process of reuniting the GOP after 2016, but begins that process by accusing me of duplicity. My motives are insincere, he suggests, and my true intention is to rehabilitate the 113th Congress's approach to the pursuit of comprehensive immigration reform. That I made no mention of immigration whatsoever is no obstacle to reaching this conclusion.
In my column, I set the terms upon which the GOP can and, in fact, must reunite in one modest ask: "In short, Republicans of all stripes must be made to acknowledge and accept that Trumpism is an experiment that failed." This is a reasonable concession. It requires only an acknowledgment that Donald Trump and the deviation his philosophy represents from conservatism sacrificed a winnable election, and may yet result in the loss of one or both of the GOP's hard-won congressional majorities.
Reviving the heated internecine squabbles of 2016 and earlier is a dead end. Whatever anyone did in this annus horribilis must be forgiven. Did you endorse Trump? Did you oppose him? Did you rail against his program? Did you find merit in the nobility of the outrage into which he tapped? None of that matters. All is water under the bridge. Reuniting the coalition and focusing on stymieing Hillary Clinton's legislative objectives matters far more now than self-righteousness and the pursuit of retroactive vindication.
Spiliakos seems to see in the above terms posturing and preening. In my view, Donald Trump ran the campaign that Republicans warned about in their review of the 2012 election results. It was a campaign of naked grievance and identity politics. He Balkanized the electorate, but was not nearly as skillful at it as is the Left. He sought to maximize the turnout of white voters and, in so doing, alienated the members of Barack Obama's coalition that Republicans knew they had to splinter; namely, women, minorities, and young voters. There was a road map to pursue this strategy of dividing and conquering: The Republican National Committee's Growth and Opportunity Project, which became unflatteringly dubbed "the autopsy."
This 97-page set of recommendations for how the GOP can appeal to single women, college students, Latinos, Asian Americans, and African Americans is replete with recommendations, but Spiliakos sees only one: passing comprehensive immigration reform. He contended that this is the only "specific policy" that the autopsy recommended, and that's true insofar as it was the only legislative remedy in the plan. "Rothman hasn't explicitly called for the adoption of Gang of Eight–style immigration reform, but everybody knows what is going on," Spiliakos divined. He presumes to know me better than I know myself.
In my view, Donald Trump ran the campaign that Republicans warned about in review of the 2012 election results.
My personal policy preferences are irrelevant, as I tried to communicate. If I must expound on them, I am ambivalent toward immigration reform. It is curious that so many who myopically focus on the detrimental aspects of immigration-reform legislation are keen to see in others their own preoccupation. I count myself a conservative because of its embrace of traditional values, free enterprise, individual liberty, and the robust defense of American national interests abroad. If more minorities can be persuaded to vote for those principles and the candidates that support them, all the better. In raising the matter of immigration as a policy matter, however, Spiliakos highlights one of the great costs associated with Donald Trump's nomination. It is entirely possible that immigration will now be resolved in 2017–18, and on the Democrats' terms.
Republicans weren't paying much attention to the Democratic primary in March. They had their own contest to focus on, so they might have missed what Hillary Clinton was promising to pursue in her first 100 days as president. "We enhanced the border security. That part of the work is done," Clinton told the viewers of an early March Democratic debate. "Let's move to comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship." She didn't stop there. She pledged to end family detention, to speed up the process of family reunification, and to enshrine Barack Obama's executive actions on deferred deportations — even those halted by the courts — into law. Moreover, Democrats will pursue these policies armed with polling that consistently shows that a majority of the public, including Republicans, favor the resolution of the immigration issue.
It remains to be seen what the partisan makeup of the next Congress will be. If, however, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showing Clinton with an eleven-point advantage over Trump and Democrats with a bigger generic-ballot advantage than at any point since the 2013 government shutdown is correct, the GOP will be powerless to prevent the implementation of this agenda. The Gang of Eight will appear circumspect in comparison with what Democrats will pursue. Spiliakos claims to know in his heart that I am a closet advocate of the 2013 immigration-reform plan because I note that the Right's immigration absolutists wanted a referendum on their view. He is entitled to his suspicions. That does not change the fact that these GOP primary voters got their wish, and the results are not going to be pretty.
Relitigating the presidential-primary process that yielded a candidate who will likely lose a winnable race for the White House, and perhaps take the GOP's congressional majorities with him, is precisely what I contend we must avoid. Conservative reformers and critics of the Beltway GOP are fortunate that Trump's tenuous grasp of policy and his vague prescriptions allow them to project onto his amorphous movement their own priors. This is a fallacious way to go about understanding and correcting for the Trump phenomenon.
Trump supporters are, indeed, owed concessions from the GOP. They have clearly demonstrated that the Republican party does not serve their interests and, if the GOP is to remain a nationally viable party, it must retain their support. But what are the 55 percent of Republican primary voters who did not support Donald Trump owed? Nothing? Have they not demonstrated their political potency just as much as have Donald Trump voters? At what point does the GOP stop refighting the 2016 primaries? Where does this process of recriminations end?
Spiliakos closes by projecting on me the demand that Trump supporters express "repentance," but I called for nothing of the sort. The only amnesty I'm advocating is of a blanket sort for Republicans, almost all Republicans, with the understanding that perpetually revisiting past battles is unproductive. When it comes to Trump's rise, no one on the right or left is faultless. All must take stock of our roles in leading the GOP into this cul-de-sac. They should not have to fear the Star Chambers in doing so. Surrender to Clinton is not an option. Recapitulating an effective opposition party must be the first and only goal of a post-Trump GOP.

"I want people to listen. I want people to understand that the experiences that you don't see every day, the people that you don't hear on television, the experiences of people who are not given the same exposure of others are still valid."

Eyitayo Kunle-Oladosu, grade 12 student from Harold Brathwaite Secondary School is inspiring and empowering others to live outside the margins.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept 6 (Reuters) - Women's health activist Sandra Fluke, who came under a barrage of attacks from conservatives this year for supporting Democratic President Barack Obama's contraceptive policy, lashed back on Wednesday in an unflinching speech at Democratic National Convention.
"Your new president could be a man who stands by when a public figure tries to silence a private citizen with hateful slurs. A man who won't stand up to the slurs, or to any of the extreme, bigoted voices in his own party," referring to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's muted reaction after conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh called her a "slut" last March.
Fluke, then a 30-year-old law student at Georgetown University, got caught up in heated debate over Obama's policy requiring health insurance plans to cover contraception when she spoke out against Republicans' efforts to scrap the policy.
Limbaugh called her a "slut" and a "prostitute" for her comments. Limbaugh later apologized, but the controversy drove advertisers from his national radio show.
Obama telephoned Fluke after Limbaugh's comments, and invoked his concern for his two young daughters when he explained why he had reached out to the student.
Fluke has been an active campaigner for Obama's re-election. During the campaign, the party has focused on social issues like abortion rights and insurance coverage for contraception to appeal to women voters, while accusing Republicans of waging a "war on women."
Republicans reject the charge, and contend that Obama's policies hurt women by failing to alleviate stubbornly high unemployment and do more to create a U.S. business environment friendly to corporations that create jobs.
Fluke did not mention Romney by name in her short speech. She also targeted Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, Romney's vice presidential running mate, a strong opponent of abortion rights.
Without naming him, Fluke said Ryan would be a vice president who co-sponsored a bill that would "allow pregnant women to die preventable deaths in our emergency rooms."
In the House of Representatives, Ryan has fought insurance coverage for contraception and co-sponsored a bill to give "personhood" rights to fetuses, a measure criticized as an effort to forbid abortions even when they might be necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman.
