Pros: Great range, ridiculous accuracy, cool scope, mad comfortable
Cons: Guzzles battery
Oh my dear god this gun dominates. I live in Pennsylvania and play Pocono region fields. This bad boy has dominated in woods, grass, marsh, and even held it's own in urban environments.(find a nice ass spot and stay there) The rate of fire on full battery is amazing for a "long" rifle like this. The gun looks long, but in reality fits into your shoulder and forearm like a dream. Fold the stock in and it is about the length of a UTG Mp5, but with the stock out is longer than an ICS M4. Great for providing cover and team work, but also successful if your a lone wolf. A bit of advice for this gun, don't fire continuously. It starts to mis-fire around shot 15, but laying out smaller strains of automatic in short succession will keep down the heads of a larger group. In terms of presence on the battlefield, this gun is a giant. I'm not saying it's loud, in fact the quite, muffled sound of the gun makes it dangerous, but it simply is scary. It has a unique sound to it, and can cause a sniper to crap themselves. (true story actually) The rate of fire significantly decreases as the battery is drained, so watch out for that. Also, you can only get about 6 clips from a fully charged battery, not much if you play scenario, and putting in a new battery is a royal pain in the ass. I'm currently looking at putting on a flow through stock for the gun. In conclusion, this is a deadly gun, and as long as a sidearm is close, a powerhouse on the field.

Low-Carb Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes
Cauliflower Pancakes – Cauliflower with a Twist!
Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes are low-carb, super tasty, and perfect for diet lunch, snack or a side dish! and your kids will also love them!
“I know what you might be thinking. Cauliflower?? Pancakes?? Together in one recipe???”Chef Sam❤
This is a delicious way to prepare cauliflower. It’s similar to the taste of a potato pancake except they have fewer carbs and are easier to make. And I’m sure that even if you’re not too enthusiastic about cauliflower, you might still like these golden, savory patties.
You may also make them in the form of fritters or cutlets. Whatever you make the recipe is same. Make a sandwich or a warp and enjoy!!
Cauliflower Pancakes | Cauliflower Fritters | Cauliflower Cutlets
Gluten Free Cauliflower Pancakes
These cauliflower PANCAKES or fritters make a fantastic lunch or side dish. Crushed cauliflower, parmesan and fresh herbs are mixed together and fried in a little oil until golden brown. If you’re looking for a lighter lunch, then these low-carb pancakes are satisfying and flavorful.
What Do We Need TO MAKE CAULIFLOWER PANCAKES?
You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these cauliflower pancakes/fritters. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need:
You need the florets of a small-to-medium cauliflower – about 350g or 12.3oz). I would recommend using fresh, rather than frozen cauliflower, as frozen contains more liquid, which will make the fritters a little mushy.
– Grated Parmesan
Make sure you use finely grated cheese and not coarsely shredded. Replace with vegetarian-Italian-style hard cheese for a vegetarian version.
– Kosher salt and black pepper
If using fine salt, you should reduce the amount you use, or the fritters could end up too salty.
I have used all-purpose flour, but you can use whole wheat flour or almond flour.
“These cauliflower Pancakes or fritters make a great side dish with fish, or serve them on their own for lunch with a little sour cream or any favorite dip.”
Leftovers keep well in the fridge, in a sealed container, for 3-4 days. They taste great when gently reheated in the microwave on 50% power, or even cold. You can also freeze these fritters for up to one 2 months (60 days). I recommend wrapping them in plastic wrap to keep moisture out then placing in a plastic bag or container.
HOW TO REHEAT PANCAKES
Reheat the pancakes in the microwave for 30 seconds on 50% power. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the oven on a sheet pan at 350F for 8 minutes or on a skillet at medium heat on both sides 3-4 minutes.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH CAULIFLOWER PANCAKES
These gluten free Cauliflower Pancakes can be served as a savory breakfast, lunch, dinner, as a side or snack. If you do enjoy them as a meal or with a meal, I recommend ensuring you have a enough protein with them as these are low in protein.
Why These Cauliflower Pancakes are Super Healthy?
These super nutritious cauliflower pancakes are a great option for a side or snack instead of any store-bought snack. Here are some reasons why these are on my hit list!!
- Low Calorie – Each pancake is only 50 calories. Not that calories are everything, the macronutrient balance of protein, fat is carbs is always MOST important in my opinion versus looking only at the number. I work hard to balance the ingredients of my recipes to strike that balance.
- Low Carb – This recipe has 9 grams of carbs per serving which is considered lower carb.
- Higher Fiber – Each pancake has 2 grams of fiber.
- Higher Protein – Each pancake has 3 grams of protein.
- Gluten Free – All ingredients are gluten free.

Child marriage is a formal marriage or informal union entered into by an individual before reaching a certain age, specified by several global organizations such as UNICEF as minors under the age of 18. Child marriage violates the rights of children. It affects both boys and girls, but it usually disproportionately affects girls and increases their chances of dropping out of education, living in poverty and becoming victims of domestic violence. According to several UN agencies, comprehensive sexuality education can prevent such a phenomenon.
Today, child marriage is still fairly widespread, particularly in developing countries, such as parts of Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia, Latin America, and Oceania. However, even in developed countries such as the United States legal exceptions mean that 25 US states have no minimum age requirement.
Next week Swedish lawmakers would vote on a proposed crackdown on child marriage, a move echoing measures taken by a host of countries in the wake of Europe's refugee crisis. A current ban on marriages for people under 18 would be extended, if the bill is approved, to invalidate such unions of foreigners carried out abroad. Couples who wish to stay together will have to wait until 18 to remarry. Swedish lawmakers are due to vote on the proposal on Wednesday.
"We need to let children be children no matter if they are from Sweden or another country," said My Hellberg from the Young Women's Rights Society, which runs shelters and campaigns against domestic abuse perpetrated in the name of “honor” for bringing shame on families. NBC News reports:
Most European countries still allow marriage under the age of 18 in certain circumstances, such as with parental consent or the approval of a judicial or governmental authority.
But in the last three years, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway have either outlawed child marriage or extended their bans to include the marriages of young foreign nationals wed abroad. A British lawmaker has also introduced a bill to ban unions under the age of 18 in England and Wales.
Sara Mohammad, who fled her own child marriage and found a charity, has spoken of how her brother once held a Kalashnikov rifle to her head. She was 17 and he was trying to force her to marry a man she had never met.
On the day before her wedding, Mohammad fled Iraq. She would eventually claim asylum in Sweden where she now runs a charity (GAPF), which campaigns against honor-related violence.
More than 30 years later, she is hopeful her adoptive country will extend its ban on child marriage.
In 2016, Sweden's Migration Agency said it had identified 132 cases of children who said they were married on asylum applications, but acknowledged there were probably more. On the other side, more than 1,400 underage foreign children were listed as married in Germany in the same year, according to the country’s Central Register of Foreign Nationals.
“It would be a great thing for the Swedish government to show the world that we protect children from child marriage,” she said.

we will be going on 10 night hawaii trip in August 3rd week with a 3 and 1 year old. This will be our frist trip to Hawaii and perhaps could be only one given that we will be relocating to our home country.
i have the following queries and your opinions will be highly appreciated.
1. Should we split the trip or just spend all time at Ohau (we will be flying in there)?
2. If we do split then does Maui sound like a good second place to visit given that we will be with kids? Any other suggestions for place.
3. Is the big island a good option to do with kids?
3. Is it must to know swimming to enjoy Hawaii trip? My wife does not know swimming. I do.
4. If we split the trip would it still be a good idea to rent condos instead of hotel to save money? (yes we would like to cook and eat if it still makes a difference).
5. Is it better to book car rental along with flight or doing seperately also works out economical?
thanks in advance for any response you guys may be able to give.

Battle lines are being drawn on the proposed Marble Valley and Lime Rock Valley projects, which would eventually put 4,368 dwellings in four-plus miles running southeast from the Bass Lake Road freeway interchange.
Parker Development, which also faces domestic unrest over plans to develop the former El Dorado Hills Executive Golf Course, faces attack on its eastern front by anti-growth forces stirring up opposition in Cameron Park. Former El Dorado County supervisor Bill Center and accomplished political pollster Jim Moore, the most visible faces behind Measure Y, outlined their opposition to the projects to receptive residents of the Cameron Estates Community Services District on May 16.
A confident Moore assured the audience that his research showed “at least four of five” supervisors oppose the Marble Valley projects and asked, “What’s the best way to stall these big projects?”
Proposed densities for Parker’s Marble Valley and the Gallo Family’s Lime Rock, plus the hotly contested 1,040-lot San Stino project in rural Shingle Springs and the 700-home Dixon Ranch project off Bass Lake Road in El Dorado Hills, require General Plan amendments and rezoning. A recalcitrant El Dorado County Board of Supervisors has become increasingly insistent on completing the Land Use Programmatic Policy Update process before considering any new General Plan land use changes.
LUPPU belatedly implements land-use measures in the 2004 General Plan and includes new traffic modeling software that should provide better measures of the proposed projects’ traffic impacts.
During a May 7 board meeting District 3 Supervisor Brian Veerkamp suggested taking a formal “time out” on big projects until LUPPU is complete. “You can call it a moratorium if you want,” Veerkamp said. “We need to let these things play out in a logical way.”
The former El Dorado Hills Fire Chief said he also has concerns about water availability based on El Dorado Irrigation District’s most recent Integrated Water Resources Master Plan.
Parker Development bought the land from the Cowell Foundation in 2001 and sought approval for roughly 1,300 homes; then-board members OK’d 398 lots. The recently reworked Marble Valley proposal calls for 3,568 dwellings, including single family, condos and townhomes, over the next 20 to 30 years. Gallo’s 740-acre Lime Rock Valley Specific plan adds another 800 single-family homes to the mix.
Both share a rich mining history and are vacant and isolated.
Of 2,341 acres in Marble Valley, approximately two-thirds are dedicated to open space, parks, vineyards and schools, with 798 acres for homes and 17 acres of commercial land. Amenities include a 500-acre passive park, 10-acre lake, lakeside amphitheater, a working vineyard, a wine center featuring El Dorado County products, a park commemorating the history of the lime business and an event center at the dramatic monolith rock formation.
Moore predicted that either Veerkamp or District 4 Supervisor Ron Briggs would propose an advisory ballot measure on the November ballot to test public opinion on each of the four large project proposals.
“We’ll do a couple mailers and it will be over,” Moore said, predicting that the projects would lose in a landslide and send a clear message to the supervisors.
But Veerkamp said he wanted to let the existing plan and implementation processes play out, and would rather “stay away from any advisory votes.”
Getting a jump on his predictions, Moore launched the first mailer — 6,500 pieces attacking the Marble Valley projects signed by Center, fellow former supervisor Sam Bradley and Cameron Park CSD Director Shiva Frentzen.
The letter warned residents that the Marble Valley and Lime Rock projects would increase the Cameron Park area population by 60 percent, to 28,000 people, and add 40,000 daily trips to the commute, without mentioning that the growth might take 30 years.
The preemptive strike in what could become a long and litigious battle also failed to mention “Measure Y requires us to pay our fair share,” said Parker Development spokesman Kirk Bone.
The 2011 Marble Valley Project Briefing Book estimated that road fees for Marble Valley would be $80 million.
“That goes to construct (road) improvements contemplated in the General Plan,” Bone explained. “To the extent that our project triggers additional improvements we pay for those too.
“There’s a process in place,” he added. “Let’s use it. Let’s wait for the new traffic model, plug in our information, analyze it and make a decision.”
But Center and Moore’s agenda is clear. Moore told the Cameron Estates residents in a recording obtained by Village Life, “Our goal is to stop approving parcels for at least 10 years, and save the existing road capacity for jobs projects, granny flats … for the people that are here. All five supervisors are in agreement on that.”
Center and Moore base their opposition on the fact that the General Plan’s Housing Element designates “20,000 approved housing units that haven’t been built yet,” said Moore. “If they approve any more it will just make traffic worse.”
Center explained that county officials assume that only 30 to 60 percent of the 2004 General Plan’s housing inventory will ever be built, and uses that assumption to justify approving new developments. He argues that this “market-based” assumption is wrong, and that all of the housing units in the General Plan housing will be built, resulting in gridlock.
“We believe there is an obligation for the road system to be sufficient to accommodate the traffic from them before we approve new developments,” Center said.
Principal Planner Shawna Purvines defends the market-based approach, by referring to the Land Inventory Summary in Table HO28 of the draft 2013-2021 Housing Element Update, which identifies 20,854 total housing units available countywide.
She points out that 3,724 of those units are on the eastern slope, in the Tahoe Regional Planning Area, and effectively off the table for El Dorado County planning purposes. That leaves parcels for 17,013 housing units, but Purvines emphasizes that the statistic is misleading because it represents “realistic capacity” — the highest density housing the land in question could realistically hold, given the slope, setbacks and other obvious constraints to development.
She carefully explains that much of that land is unlikely to be built to its capacity since roughly one-third of the approved units are on vacant land in rural areas, zoned for higher density than has historically been built.
Jim Brunello chairs the Community and Economic Development Advisory Committee, and argues that El Dorado Hills alone has between 7,000 and 8,000 approved units, mostly in approved specific plans, all very realistic and starting to sell.
Like Veerkamp, he wants to see what the new traffic model has to say about local roadway capacity before approving any big new projects.
He also worries that the proposed housing does not address the problems identified in the General Plan review done in 2011: sales tax leakage, job creation, moderate housing and rural commerce.
Center said he supports Brunello’s efforts on CEDAC, which he believes will ultimately create “houses for people that work here and jobs for people who live here,” he said. “None of those 8,000 units in El Dorado Hills is doing either of those two things.”
Center and Moore have created a website: savecameronpark.org.

SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS (1954)
I knew nothing about Seven Brides for Seven Brothers going in, and now that I’ve seen it, I don’t know what I can say about it that hasn’t already been said. So, I won’t even try: what the fuck, movie?
To hell with spoilers, this is a film where hillbillies kidnap a bunch of women and they fucking love it.
NEXT WEEK: South Pacific (1958).
Much like a date with a men’s rights activist, Seven Brides doesn’t start with the kidnapping right away. The film opens with macho manly backwoodsman Adam Pontipee (Howard Keel) moseying into town and browsing for a wife, not unlike the way one selects a frozen pizza. (While singing, that is.) A young woman named Milly (Jane Powell) decides this is definitely a good idea and accompanies him back to his completely isolated cabin, only to find that he has six brothers (a fuckload of actors I won’t list) that she’s also expected to cook and clean for.
Being one man’s housekeeper is a fairy tale marriage come true, but seven?? Right out!
Milly tries to turn them into charming gentlemen à la what I assume the plot of My Fair Lady is. (Never seen it, check the blog premise.) They head into town and try their best to be nice guys and it’s a lot of fun, but the movie becomes instantly bored with this idea and Adam convinces the boys to capture six screaming women, load them onto a wagon, and drag them back to their rape shack.
Rated G for cartoon violence and cartoon, uh, sexual assault…
This should have been a roleplay fantasy at best and a horror movie at worst. But it is a cheerful musical made by real human beings.
First off, I didn’t even catch that burly mountain man Adam Pontipee was played by the same guy as boring-ass cheeseball Frank Butler in Annie Get Your Gun, so kudos to Howard Keel for his range. He’s firm but charismatic, a persuasive combination that would be less terrifying if one of his bright ideas wasn’t to put women in bags.
“Who’s up for a six-way? I literally won’t take no for an answer.”
Jane Powell’s Milly starts off fairly naive but she brings the ruckus when the brothers start shit. Her performance is still sweet, though; you get the sense that she genuinely cares for and wants to help these woodland dipshits instead of abandoning them like she absolutely should.
Don’t make her come in there! (Mostly because she should get the fuck out of there.)
I’ll review the brothers as one group because they’re fairly indistinguishable from each other, but here’s the IMDb cast list if you want it, you whiner. The Pontipees are actually really fun when they’re being rough-and-tumble idiots. They hilariously beat the shit out of each other over anything and this is treated as an everyday occurrence. Oops, I just thought too hard about how that violence translates to their relationships with the women they eagerly abducted!
This movie actively ruins itself at every turn!
And then there’s the brides. Oh, the brides. So they’re all sufficiently and realistically traumatized by the kidnapping, something I thought the film would gloss over because of the deplorable subject matter they tried to make cute. But no, their performances convey pure shock… until a scene transition, at which point they’re having cheeky snowball fights and getting sopping wet at the sight of their captors’ beards.
Ladies, I’m over here…
Wait, I just made that joke about abductees.
YOU MAKE EVERYTHING HORRIBLE, MOVIE.
THE SONGS AND DANCES:
What really surprises me is that you’d think a movie on such an uncomfortable topic could only solidify its baffling popularity with amazing songs. And yet, honestly, a good chunk of them are mostly forgettable. Adam’s first number is “Bless Your Beautiful Hide,” a mildly creepy love song about the currently nonexistent woman he’s going to marry that he croons while inspecting all the local ladies like cuts of meat. It’s just kind of okay.
Could have done without the scene where he makes violent love to a mannequin, though.
Once Milly agrees to be Adam’s sex maid, she sings a song about how happy she is to be married titled “Wonderful, Wonderful Day.” I remember the gigantic fake backdrop more than I remember a single line of this boring, boring tune.
The hills are alive with the smell of Glidden.
The yawns keep coming when Milly performs another mundane love song, “When You’re in Love.” She sings out a window and the camera zooms in and then back out. That’s the whole thing. This movie is leaving me hurting for some actual choreography.
Please tell me Busby Berkeley is in that tree somewhere.
We finally get some energy with “Goin’ Courtin’,” in which Milly explains to the boys more sophisticated methods of wooing women (for the ’50s, anyway, but more on that later). The lyrics are mostly sweet, the melody’s catchy, and there’s some nice dancing.
Sadly, there’s no “Goin’ to Court” that covers how to beat kidnapping charges.
My prayers for choreography are answered during a huge instrumental dance scene that breaks out at a barn-raising. It’s bright and colorful and fantastic, while still packing in some gags involving our lunkhead brothers.
This raises my barn!
After a reprise of one of the lame songs, there’s “I’m a Lonesome Polecat.” If you throw out the context that it’s being sung by a bunch of woman-capturing psychopaths, it’s a wonderfully somber tribute to loneliness. The brothers chop wood in time to this solemn ode that’s performed in one unbroken take.
What more could you AXE for? (Follow me on Twitter for more top-notch lumber laffs!)
Who’s ready for an upbeat ditty about lady-snatchin’?! Adam kicks off “Sobbin’ Women,” a hot number based on a classic Roman rape story! Fun! This is how they get the idea for the terrible second half of this film! Whee!
Sing along, kids!
Once the brides have gone full Stockholm, they sing “June Bride,” a song about the joys of being married in that particular month. In their underwear.
I feel dirty.
And finally, after a winter of being completely brainwashed, the gals emerge into the bright outdoors and everybody sings “Spring, Spring, Spring” together. Aww…
…shit. As in, “Aww shit, people actually find this endearing.”
I THINK THIS LINE’S MOSTLY FILLER:
Oh, I can’t pick just one bad lyric in Seven Brides! Time for the CRINGE-WORTHY LYRICS LIGHTNING ROUND: MISOGYNY EDITION! Sixty seconds on the clock… go!!!
“I don’t know your name, but I’m a-stakin’ my claim…”
“You cuddle up, she moves away,
then the strategy comes into play…”
“Suppose she up and slaps your face?”
“Just remember, blessed are the meek.
Don’t forget to turn the other cheek…”
“Seems they cried and kissed and kissed and cried
all over that Roman countryside,
so don’t forget that when you’re taking a bride…”
“They never did return their plunder,
the victor gets all the loot…”
“Someday womenfolks’ll have rights!”
“Now, let this be, because it’s true,
a lesson to the likes of you:
rough ‘em up like them there Romans do…”
Leonard Maltin gave Seven Brides four stars and somebody should check his basement. You could try to enjoy it for its sheer tastelessness, but without any self-awareness, it’s more frightening than fun. I’m going to go take a shower and write an apology letter for, just, everything men have ever done.
Oh, and the songs suck, too.

Today is the Ukrainian “snap” parliamentary election–almost exactly 18 months after the last one, which was supposed to be for a four-year term.
The Economist has a reasonably good summary of the campaign. However, it makes the mistake of referring to the plurality by the Party of Regions (led by Viktor Yanukovych) as the “big winner” of that election. Given that Yanukovych himself had won 46% in the two-candidate presidential runoff in December, 2004, after having won 41% in the first round (which was probably somewhat inflated by fraud), his party’s 32% in March, 2006, was less than a “big” viktory.
The Australian notes the results of a recent poll by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology:
Yanukovych’s Regions Party will win 34 per cent, followed by the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc with 25.7 per cent, and Mr Yushchenko’s Our Ukraine party with 11.9 per cent.
It is striking how almost static the political support of these three parties has been. See the table of results below (which has been discussed at various earlier plantings on Ukraine, which you can find by clicking the country name in the “planted in” line above, and scrolling).
One key to this election will be the extent of the below-threshold vote. Ukraine elects its parliament by a single nationwide district, 3% threshold. In March, 2006, the 32% for Regions translated into 41% of the above-threshold vote, while Tymoshenko and Yushchenko’s blocs combined for around 47%. A small increase in their combined votes, or a decline in votes cast for below-threshold parties (perhaps accompanied by a likely smaller turnout) could give these two “Orange Revolution” parties together a majority in parliament.
However, the real key is not so much the election result–unless there is a surprise–but the bargaining after the election. That bargaining, more than the election result itself, will determine whether Tymoshenko and Yushchenko can resume their former coalition, or whether the current cohabitation of the two Viktors will continue.


M3Forth is a young Forth implementation for the Cortex-M3. At the moment, it targets the LPC17xx series, but it should be portable to other M3 parts.
M3Forth aims for
...in essentially that order, but smaller code is often faster on the M3, so maybe we can have both.
- M3Forth is a relatively new system. It doesn't do everything you might need yet, but it's coming along quickly.
- M3Forth is very specifically tailored for the Cortex-M3, a 32-bit ARM core. It will not run on earlier ARM parts (e.g. ARM7) or on non-ARM machines.
- I've only tested M3Forth on the LPC17xx. It will require some porting to work on other M3 parts, since it uses peripherals that ARM chose not to standardize (like UARTs).

Tasmanian-based financial institution MyState is helping vulnerable young Tasmanians achieve a brighter future, by awarding over $106,000 to 14 local not-for-profit organisations through the MyState Foundation, which has now donated over $1.1 million to over 200 initiatives in the past 14 years.
MyState Foundation Chairman Bob Gordon said the Foundation’s mission was to help educate, nurture, support and advance the interests of Tasmania’s young people, ensuring their future and the future of their communities were happy, healthy and safe.
“We help young Tasmanians to access opportunities they might not otherwise have access to by supporting and enabling a range of charitable programs and activities all around the state,” Mr Gordon said.
“This year we are incredibly proud to be awarding over $106,000 in grants to 14 charitable or community organisations across the state, ranging from Kennerley Children’s Homes in the south, St Giles Society in the north, and The Beacon Foundation in the north west.”
Mr Gordon said the MyState Foundation offered its grants program on an annual basis, providing grants between $1,000 and $10,000 to eligible organisations to assist with bettering the lives of young Tasmanians.
“In partnership with the University of Tasmania and the Tasmanian Principals Association, we also offer the Springboard to Higher Education bursary program, which assists students whose economic circumstances and location hinder their ability to complete higher education,” he said.
“We’re passionate about the potential our young people hold, but understand that sometimes it can’t be reached without a little help.
“The Springboard program awards talented, capable and willing students with a $2,250 bursary in years 11, 12 and during their first year at university. To date, the MyState Foundation has awarded 149 bursaries worth a total of $158,500 and has committed a further three years.
“We believe it’s the little ideas, local organisations and small acts that can help to make a big difference in people’s lives and help build a richer Tasmanian community.”
Applications for the next round of grants will open in early 2016. For more information about the MyState Foundation visit www.mystate.com.au/community.

No Promissory Note means banks like B of A sold un-backed securities instead of mortgage-backed securities. This is not a simple case of sloppy paperwork as the mainstream media would like you to believe. The evidence suggests it is layer upon layer of widespread criminal activity. Here’s the way I explained it in a post called “The Perfect No-Prosecution Crime.” In October, I wrote, “There was “rampant” mortgage fraud in the loan application process according to the FBI as far back as 2004. (Click here to see one of many stories of the FBI warning of mortgage fraud.) There was real estate document malfeasance when the original Promissory Notes and loan documents were “lost.” The Promissory Notes were required to create tens of thousands of mortgage-backed securities (MBS). No “note,” no security. No security means the special IRS tax status for the MBS were improperly obtained. Because there were no documents, the rating agencies fraudulently made up triple “A” ratings for the securities. When the whole mess blew up, big banks hired foreclosure mill law firms to create forged documents. That phony paperwork was and is being used to wrongfully remove homeowners from their property. That is foreclosure fraud.”
Mortgage-backed securities have to meet what is called “contractual representation and warranties.” That basically means the MBS are required to be free of fraud and be exactly what the seller says they are. Do you think mortgage-backed securities are free of fraud? Do you think these securities are the triple-A rated risk free investment the big Wall Street banks claim?—NO WAY! The banks are going to be forced to buy back all the toxic mortgage junk they sold.


Bremerton's iconic crane preserved while others are torn down
It’s one of the first things you see when arriving in Bremerton on a ferry – the 25-story tall, 2,400-ton green Hammerhead crane towering above Puget Sound Naval Shipyard's waterfront.
The almost 85-year-old crane has long been the definitive symbol of the shipyard and the Navy's more than century-long influence in Bremerton, but it's not the only crane of its kind that can be found at Navy shipyards around the country.
What sets Bremerton's mothballed crane apart from the others is the fact it's still standing today and will be for the foreseeable future, unlike many of the Navy's other hammerhead cranes.
And PSNS spokesman J.C. Mathews said the crane's here to stay.
"We'll continue to perform necessary maintenance and enjoy its iconic presence on our waterfront," Mathews said.
In mothball status after being retired from service in 1994, the shipyard inspects its structure annually, and crews conduct periodic maintenance on a few of the crane's systems, like the dehumidification system.
About once a year, the crane can be seen rotating when the shipyard tests its systems to make sure it can still function. A complete rotation takes about six minutes.
At Navy shipyards elsewhere in the county, retired hammerhead cranes have been torn down to make way for something new along the waterfront or after a shipyard's closure.
The Navy has spent five years deliberating whether to tear down Norfolk Naval Shipyard's giant crane, which is an equally iconic part of the waterfront in Portsmouth, Virginia. Norfolk's crane was retired in 2001 and has since become "a safety hazard for shipyard personnel working near it," The Virginian-Pilot reported.
A lasting legacy
During the Great Depression, the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard went through a period of growth and activity in between World War I and World War II as the military sought to build up the fleet.
The New Deal-era National Industrial Recovery Act program set aside $1.9 million for public works projects in the 13th Naval District, which included Washington state, according to Louise M. Reh and Helen Lou Ross' book "Nipsic to Nimitz."
Most of that money was spent on projects at the Puget Sound Navy Yard. One of the shipyard's first major purchases was a hammerhead crane from the Dravo Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at a cost of almost $500,000.
The crane was constructed at Dravo's plant on Neville Island, which is located in the middle of the Ohio River near Pittsburgh. To get the crane across the county to Bremerton, it took a complicated process of transporting pieces by rail to Baltimore before they were placed on ships to be sailed through the Panama Canal up the Pacific Coast, according to retired shipyard historian Cristy Gallardo.
Just as the crane itself has a storied past, the material used to build it holds historical significance. Some of its steel has weld identifier marks indicating it was sourced from Carnegie Steel, one of Andrew Carnegie's steel companies before he went on to become a founder of U.S. Steel, according to a history provided by shipyard crane operations manager Ken Haines.
Once the pieces arrived, Dravo sent its own work crews to Bremerton to assemble the crane. The company's steelworkers were some of the most skilled in the country after completing construction of the Empire State Building in New York City prior to arriving in the Northwest.
The crane's pieces were assembled near the south end of Pier Six in a record-setting five months without accident or injury to a single steelworker.
By 1933, the crane was up and running with a busy work schedule from the first day of operation. It cost the shipyard $110 per hour to operate.
With two main hoists that could be used separately or together, it could safely lift up to 125 tons on each hoist — or 350 tons total.
That crane repaired and refitted countless ships throughout the decades —from World War II-era battleships to Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
Just like all of the shipyard buildings and Navy ships across the fleet, cranes are assigned a number. Bremerton's hammerhead crane number, indicated by its yellow number painted on the side, is 28.
The crane's color — green — was likely the original color, chosen for its anti-corrosion and weathering properties, Mathews said.
When the crane was repainted in 1996 at a cost of about $4.26 million, the shipyard decided to match that color scheme because it would be more cost-effective than changing it to another one.
The crane's last operational day was on Sept. 8, 1994, according to the Puget Sound Navy Museum.
Although the crane was once open to the public for an up-close glimpse, it has been closed for at least two decades since it lives within the shipyard's controlled industrial area, Mathews said.

So remember when I entered that contest for the pettiskirt? Well, I didn't win. Bummer for me, but I had already decided that I was going to make some for the girls either way. This one is for Charleston Chew and it turned out so cute. When I picked out the colors all I kept thinking about was Sunshine Generation. Do you remember that singing and dancing group? I always wanted to be in it. Anyway, now that the skirt is finished it keeps reminding me of a chick...perfect for my little chickie, Charley. Yellow seems to fit her.
Just so everyone knows, this skirt isn't as hard to make as it looks. In fact, it was a lot of fun although it was time consuming because there are a lot of ruffles to sew. I used the instructions from Martha Stewart and the tips from the Grosgrain blog. I know Miss L's will go even faster now that I've done one. Shhh! They are for her birthday party in April.
*I got the fabric here for $1.52 a yard...but shipping was $10.00. I need to look around because I'm sure they have this at fabric stores. I'm wondering if it goes by a different name because it's more like tricot then chiffon...I'll stay on the lookout.

Some of you may know that we have very little freedom of press but we have no idea to what extent.
Reporters Without Borders ranked Malaysia a low 141 out of 178 on its 2010 Press Freedom Index.
We probably rank higher than Burma and maybe Zimbabwe. I hate to break this to you, but that is no cause for celebration.
When thousands of protesters calling for electoral reform took to the streets here July 9, Malaysiakini, one of Malaysia's most popular news
Web sites, received 5.2 million hits, making the day one of the site's busiest since it was established in 1999.
An increasing tendency to seek news online is hardly unique to Malaysia. But here, it is not just technology driving readers to news Web sites.
It is also that - by design, and in contrast to countries like China, with its infamous Great Firewall - in Malaysia the Internet operates
outside the stringent laws that regulate the traditional media.

The U.S. Supreme Court has set January 21, 2015 as the date for oral argument in
Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. The Inclusive Communities Project, Inc., which is the case presenting the issue whether disparate impact claims are cognizable under the Fair Housing Act. The petitioners’ merits brief was filed on November 17th.
Given that the Supreme Court granted the certiorari petition on October 2nd, the January oral argument date seems particularly expeditious. The scheduling of an expeditious oral argument likely reflects a desire to resolve the issue presented. The two prior cases presenting this issue, Township of Mount Holly v. Mt. Holly Gardens Citizens in Action, Inc. and Magner v. Gallagher, were both settled after the completion of merits briefing but before the Supreme Court could hear oral argument and resolve the question of whether disparate impact claims are cognizable under the FHA.


Revolution Off Road was started in 2018 - first as an idea that two friends could come together with differing talents and utilize them in a way that would benefit the UTV and SXS industry. That idea turned into a reality in late 2018 when Sterling Harper and Scott Dana started a legitimate business partnership.
Revolution Off-Road’s mission is to help UTV and SXS owners build and personalize their machines so that they can ride the trails the way they want to. Because, after all, stock is boring. We offer the best parts from the top manufacturers in the industry - and we stand by the parts we sell.

From Warner's official synopsis:

Ignoring warnings, [their guide] takes them into the city of Pripyat, the former home to the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, but a deserted town since the disaster more than twenty-five years ago. After a brief exploration of the abandoned city, however, the group soon...[realizes] that they are not alone."
Warner's Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet Digital Copy combo pack presents the film in its 1.85:1 original aspect ratio with a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track. The disc also contains the following bonus supplements:
Uri's Extreme Tours infomercial
Chernobyl Conspiracy viral video
Chernobyl Diaries is expected to street on October 16th.
I saw this in the theatre with high hopes. I consider myself a horror buff and can appreciate a good B flick. This was horrendous. More like a syfy channel movie. I am a fan of the hand cam stuff. But this was not scary at all. It was nothing like the previews led you to believe.

Experts against citizenship for foreigners
Kathmandu, November 12:
Experts today opposed the provision of providing naturalised citizenship to foreigners other than those who marry Nepali citizens as provisioned in the proposed Citizenship Laws Integration and Amendment Bill, 2006.
They advised the Parliamentary State Affairs Committee (SAC) that there was no need of issuing naturalised citizenship certificate to anyone. A few experts also opposed the idea of adopting the cut-off date for distributing citizenship.
“Why has the government proposed such a provision to provide naturalised citizenship to create a burden for the country? It will result in population growth,” said Shambhu Thapa, president of the Nepal Bar Association. He added that honourary citizenship would be sufficient if any foreigners contributed to the nation.
The SAC today held a discussion with lawmakers, leaders and legal experts on the provisions of the proposed Bill.
Former president of the NBA Harihar Dahal said that the citizenship problem of the Madheshis should be resolved but non-Nepalese should not be issued citizenship certificates. He also added that 1990 should be made the cut-off year to solve the problem.
Advocate Kamal Naryan Das suggested that the date of promulgation of the new Citizenship Act can be recognised as the cut-off date.
Senior advocate Shree Hari Aryal advised the government to adopt a provision not to appoint a naturalised citizen in any policy-level posts. Advocate Prakash Osti claimed that the idea of providing citizenship by birth and with the recommendation of three people cannot solve the problem.
Speaker Subas Nembang said the House was doing serious homework to solve the citizenship problem before the constituent assembly elections. “This is the problem of the entire nation. This should be resolved before the CA polls,” Nembang added.
Home Minister Krishna Prasad Situala said the seven-party alliance and the Maoists have agreed to solve the citizenship problem. He said the Home Ministry will send teams to the districts to provide citizenship certificates immediately after the Bill is passed.
UML chief Madhav Kumar Nepal criticised the proposed provision to provide citizenship rights to foreigners.
RPP president Pashupati SJB Rana stressed the need to solve the citizenship problem as soon as possible.

CAIRO - 9 September 2021: Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry asserted on Thursday Egypt’s firm stands towards the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, Egyptian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ahmed Hafez said in a statement on Thursday.
Shoukry’s comments were stated during a tripartite meeting with his Jordanian and Palestinian counterparts Ayman Safadi and Riyad Al-Maliki at the Tahrir Palace, downtown Cairo, and ahead of the 156th ordinary session of the Council of the League of Arab States at the ministerial level on Thursday.
“The meeting aimed to discuss the latest developments in the Palestinian cause and the efforts made during the past period to work on re-engagement in the peace process and launch a serious and constructive negotiating process for reaching a comprehensive and just settlement on the basis of the two-state solution that guarantees the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital,” said Hafez in the statement.
Shoukry called upon the international concerned parties to provide appropriate conditions to push forward the peace path during the coming period, in a manner that achieves the desired peace and stability in the region, Hafez said.
Both Jordanian and Palestinian Ministers praised Egypt's initiative to rebuild Gaza and provide development support to the Palestinian territories, as well as for its continuous efforts to achieve the desired Palestinian reconciliation, Hafez continued.
They also agreed to continue holding the tripartite consultation to achieve the interests of the three countries and their peoples.
On the same day, Shoukry held a bilateral session of talks with Safadi at Tahrir Palace, discussing regional developments in light of the consensus of visions between Cairo and Amman regarding them.

During the exhibit opening event only, you also will be able to experience the skills and teamwork needed to be in the artillery by loading and shooting soft foam projectiles from a mock cannon and in the infantry by marching and drilling. Although these activities are particularly fun for kids, adults and anyone with an interest in the Civil War are encouraged to participate.
This exhibit and event are part of an ongoing effort to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Missouri's role in the Civil War. This is the second part of a three-phase exhibit renovation that will be completed in May of 2011. The first phase was the installation of the cannon/camp life diorama in the History Hall.

The River City Art Sculpture Tour made its way down the St. Croix River Valley from Stillwater all the way to Prescott on June 1 and 2.
The Tour wound in Prescott on June 2, as four sculptures were put in place around the city. The stone base pedestals were placed initially early last week and then the sculptures were welded onto the bases by John Hughes of Stillwater, Minn., who had some of his own pieces put on display as tour made its way from Stillwater to Hastings, Minn. and ending in Prescott.
“It was a lot of fun being able to put these out for display,” Hughes said afterwards during a reception held in honor of the Tour at the Orange Dragon Gallery in Prescott. “Working on my own pieces or helping other artists is something I have a passion for.”
Local artists Dale Lewis of Hastings appreciated being able to put in such work locally.
“I’ve traveled to four states recently putting sculptures so it’s pleasure being able to do the same thing in the area you live in,” Lewis said. “It’s wonderful to be able to feature local artists like this because there is a lot of talent in the region.”
Ten such sculptures were placed in Stillwater while Hastings and Prescott will each received four. Three were located downtown and the other one was placed in Clydesdale Park next to Ptacek’s IGA store.
“Not many places can say they have both a water park and a Humpty Dumpty statue,” Pat Ptacek said. “I needed a little convincing but once I saw the sculpture I thought it looked cool and fit what we do here. We like being unique.”
River City Sculpture Tour is a free ongoing exhibit of public art. It features original outdoor sculpture that will be on display from now until next April. The pedestal sites are intended to be permanent, and the artwork will change every spring.
Tour founder Julie Pangallo says the program is intended to expand. Her goal is to have original sculpture from St. Croix Falls down to La Crosse so people can spend a fun weekend enjoying art on the river. Already Osceola, Marine on St. Croix, Minn., Red Wing, Minn., and La Crosse have expressed an interest in joining the program.
“There are wonderful sculpture tours around the country,” Pangallo said. As far as I know, this is the only multi-city tour. It’s a great way to promote the artists of our region, as well as drive tourism and commerce. “
The tour places sculptures throughout downtown that are accessible 24/7.
“One of the things I’m most excited about is the artists on this tour,” Pagnallo said. This first year, it’s 100 percent Minnesota and Wisconsin artists. We have fabulous talent in our region, and I’m excited to promote it!”
The program is sponsorship driven, and Pangallo admits sponsorship of the first year program has been slow. However, once the sculptures are up and people understand how the tour impacts the community, she believes sponsorships will come more easily.
The Orange Dragon Gallery hosted a reception for the tour on Thursday, June 2. The gallery is in the middle of one of its themed exhibits “Colors of Summer” which runs until July 24. Other exhibits for the rest of the calendar year are “All Things Black and White” from July 21 to Sept. 18; “Colors of Fall” from Sept. 21 to Nov. 6 and “Bringing in the Holidays” Nov. 9-Dec. 23. The gallery is open Wednesdays through Sundays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and there are opening receptions the second Friday of each month.

In 2001, one million children--almost none of them girls-- were enrolled in 3,400 schools. In 2015, there was a nine-fold increase in enrolment with more than eight million students in 16,400 schools, of whom almost 40 percent were girls.
While it's encouraging to see progress in access to education, the quality and safety of the school facilities are not as reassuring
If an earthquake were to hit Afghanistan on a school day, 5 million students would be affected.
In the past, addressing infrastructure resilience has been a challenge since information regarding current and future disaster and climate risk has been extremely limited and fragmented.
Compounded by decades of conflict, this has undermined Afghanistan's ability to cope and effectively respond to natural disasters.
Conflict and Fragility; fragile and conflict affected states; fragile states; fragility; FCV; education
At the heart of Kabul City in Makroyan 3, lies the all-boys ‘Abdul Hadi Dawi’ school. Despite having 3,000 students, there are no latrines, only a remote plot of land dotted with containers for the students to use. The school is also located near the Supreme Court, an area with potential security risks.The Abdul Hadi Dawi School encapsulates many of the problems with the education system in Afghanistan.
There is little evidence of high-quality instruction or learning happening in the classroom. And neither were teachers being assessed on their performance nor the quality of their teaching.
Improving learning is a priority for Afghanistan. Therefore, the government of Afghanistan sought our support to document the reality of primary education in Afghanistan and identify bottlenecks in schools that impede the delivery of high-quality education.
Thirty-two schools participated in our pilot study in Kabul city in April 2017. Our findings break new ground and are based on SABER Service Delivery methodology already tested in the Africa region through the Service Delivery Initiative.
Our survey provides indicators necessary to track progress in student learning and inform education policies to provide high-quality learning environments for both students and teachers. The indicators are standardized, allowing comparisons between and within nations over time.
Someone wise once said that education is the foundation of a country’s progress. As every Afghan knows and feels, after four decades of conflict and violence, progress is exactly what this country needs to get back on its feet.
I have always had a deep interest in making my social context better and this is the reason why I joined the Education Quality Improvement Program (EQUIP), which aims to improve access and quality of education for Afghans. I joined the EQUIP team in the program’s second phase, which started in January 2008.
Through EQUIP, we have been working with communities to change their views and perceptions on education, especially in villages. I remember when I joined the team in 2010, many people would come and tell us they did not want to send their girls to school. But slowly EQUIP won them over.
Now, we can proudly say that we have the full support of communities everywhere in Balkh Province. For example, we have never had to buy land to construct a school in any district in Balkh. Every single time, it has been the people who bought or donated land and invited us to construct the building, even in the poorest regions.

Kuala Lumpur — Three Filipinos were arrested along with four Malaysians and an Albanian for suspected involvement in terrorist activities linked to the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), the Islamic State (ISIS) and the Jemaah Islamiah (JI), the police said Saturday.
The arrests were made in the states of Sabah, Selangor and Perak between September 27 and October 6.
Five suspects were arrested in the Borneo state of Sabah, suspected of assisting the Abu Sayyaf militant group’s infiltration into Malaysia.
One of the Filipinos arrested is a permanent resident of Malaysia, authorities said.
Police said the arrested Albanian, a law lecturer at a local public university, has contact with Islamic State.
Another two arrested are former convicts, previously found guilty in 2016 of participating in terrorist activities.
One was arrested under suspicion of recruiting convicts in prison and planning an attack on Muslim, Christian and Hindu places of worship in Malaysia. The suspect is also said to harbor information about a member of the Tanzim Al-Qaeda Malaysia, a group linked to Jemaah Islamiah, who remains at large.
The other was an accomplice suspected of recruiting two Malaysians.

Miracles happen all the time in the world of R&B. So too do they happen in the world of MT— Musical Theatre. ArtsCentric is currently presenting a stupendous miracle, thankfully for more than just one night only with their stellar production of Dreamgirls. Directed by Kevin S. McAllister with Musical Direction by Cedric D. Lyles, this visionary display of storytelling is laced with exceptional talent, determined dedication, and earnest heart and soul that will leave you dreaming of more and yearning to come back and see it again and again.
Outrageously delicious satire is being served hot as the main course over at the Howard Community College Arts Collective this spring as they present Avery Crozier’s Eat The Runt. Directed by S. G. Kramer, this zany upended play without pronouns is a brand new breed of comedic chaos that features a different cast every night! You read correctly: eight actors, eight characters but no two shows are quite the same! With a scintillating whirlwind script this installation of theatrical insanity ensures a night of rip-roaring comic displacement that will have you wriggling to the edge of your seat.
Life is very long. Incidentally Tracey Letts’ work August: Osage County only takes up roughly three hours of said life as it is trafficked across the Milburn Stone Theatre stage this winter season. Directed by S. Lee Lewis, Letts’ compelling familial drama addresses afflictions and ailments to the dysfunctional degree of existence. It’s not a party until something gets spilled and family secrets are spilling out all over the place in this poignant timely production.
No man is a failure who has friends. At this festive time of year it is easy to lose sight of such a simple message among all the decorations and holiday events. Howard Community College’s Arts Collective reminds us of the true joys of Christmas with their resplendent production of It’s A Wonderful Life. Directed by Gareth Kelly and Anthony Scimonelli, this heartwarming classic is reimagined to the stage in a most spectacular fashion.
