Hi! Sign in to let us know how Johnny Rockets was?
DJ E. Nov 11 .
Great burgers but also the best onion rings I have ever had. Milkshakes are thick and creamy and they have a juke box selector at every table and they give you your first nickel to play a song. We went back twice during our stay. Would recommend to anyone.
by davidhgay at Citysearch Nov 10 .
The Burgers are OK.... The 1/2 order of fries and 1/2 rings is GREAT! We stop by Johnny Rockets after a movie, or a game and have a shake and 1/2 order and it is just right. The juke box on the table bring nack some very fond memories.... A real ice cream shake that you just cannot find anymore! Try it the memories just keep flowing!
by blockett76 at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Fantastic place to eat. Very busy... We had to wait about 20 minutes to get in, but it was well worth our time. Always fun. We had a fantastic waiter who was able to effectively manage many tables at once. The atmosphere it busy, busy!! We had the Chili Fries as an appetizer - great choice! Nice addition to serve them with the ranch dipping sauce!
by cadel2 at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Johnny Rockets is usually pretty good for 50's nostalgia and average burgers. but the staff at the underground location is surley, the burger soggy and the fries seemed to be a week old. DON'T GO HERE!
Some locations OK, not this one!
by lindablevins11 at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Johnny Rockets in Underground Atlanta is usually packed so it mat take a little longer to get food because it is not prepared beforehand. The 50s ambiance is great, and they even give you a nickel to plat the jukebox.
by mlneuens at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Its da bomb!.. or neato! ;) lol! its a fun place to eat at and hang out! it has an atmosphere that is really fun!
by sabby112 at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Great hot hamburgers made with real tasting meat-cooked how you want it cook. Fries are always fresh and tasty.
by kackster at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Reminds me of the burgers my mom used to make. Fresh, hot, tasty, and the relish makes it great too. Love the shakes!
Now THAT's a good burger!
by ksd at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Johnny Rockets has the best onion rings and burgers of anyone. They also have great shakes! I love that place; it has a cute retro environment.
by ddeaug at Citysearch Nov 10 .

by matt_c at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Johnny rockets was off the hook every time i went there, great food, great music, and great employee, cant get much better.

Wynne woos Alibaba in China
Ontario officials pitch Chinese Internet giant on selling more Ontario grown agri-food items to hungry and thirsty China.
By Robert BenzieQueen's Park Bureau Chief
BEIJING — In the legend One Thousand and One Nights, the key to fabulous riches for Ali Baba was the mystical phrase "Open Sesame."
In the 21st century, the key to fabulous riches is figuring out how to say "Open Sesame" to Alibaba.
Alibaba Group is a 15-year-old Chinese company that has not-so-quietly emerged as one of the world's largest online shopping websites.
If Amazon is a department store, Aliababa is a mega-mall — or, in the parlance of modern business, a "platform," complete with thousands of companies selling everything from thumbtacks to tractors to hundreds of millions of customers in 190 countries.
Which is why Ontario officials were thrilled to secure a 90-minute meeting with senior Alibaba executives to convince them to push more products from Canada's most populous province.
"You have to get the stamp of approval from China to get your products listed," one senior Ontario official said Wednesday of the meeting a day earlier at the Fairmount Peace Hotel in Shanghai.
Premier Kathleen Wynne, who is here on a one-week trade mission, is especially keen on selling more agri-food items to hungry and thirsty China.
"Alibaba asked for a list of what products are ready for export. Cranberries, corn, pork, beef, poultry, wine — these are all Ontario products we would love to see on Alibaba," said the official who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the high-level private session.
Economic Development Minister Brad Duguid and International Trade Minister Michael Chan spent about 45 minutes with the Alibaba brass, who drove 165 km from Hangzhou to meet the Ontario delegation.
Then Wynne, in a surprise move given the often restrained and formal way of conducting business in China, popped by to give the imprimateur of a head of government.
"They knew the ministers were coming, they didn't know the premier was coming. The premier came in and she did the pitch on agri-foods," the insider said, noting she wanted to emphasize the quality of produce and Ontario's high food-safety standards.
"The 'made-in-Canada' thing really works," said another official, who was at the closed-door session, adding China's fast-growing middle- and upper-classes are extremely demanding customers who are willing to pay top yuan for safe and delicious agricultural products.
Alibaba sells "business-to-business" – as well as business-to-customer, like Amazon or eBay – meaning, for example, that restaurant chains could supply all their outlets through the company's unrivalled network.
A household name in China, it remains relatively unknown among the broader public in Canada – even though it claims 1 million Canadian subscribers and its initial public offering last month set a world record by bringing in more than $25-billion (U.S.) and eclipsing Facebook's IPO.
One key to the company's success is that buyers assume no financial risk when making a purchase. Payments are held in escrow by Alibaba and only released to the seller once the purchaser has received the product.
In China, where consumers are wary after decades of dodgy business practices, this strategy has been a revelation.
More than three of every four online sales in this nation of 1.3 billion are through Alibaba's dizzying array of websites and Alipay, its version of PayPal, is by far the most popular online payment system in China.
Wynne, Duguid, and Chan are hopeful their session Tuesday with Alibaba will lead to "Open Sesame" for hundreds of Ontario farmers and entrepeneurs.
Kathleen Wynne, China

A financial tool: the purposes of the European construction must be financially supported in order to be implemented. Such a support base is the European budget, which is different from the national budgets of the Member States, and is aimed at accomplishing European purposes, not the national ones. This tool represents the material cause of the European construction.
In fact, most of the conflicts among the Member States regarding the revenue system for the EU budget are really predicated on one or more of the above considerations.
b) producing the European public goods (EPGs).
The second target, in its turn, is indeed achieved because of belonging to the EU, but, at the same time, it must be viewed that the EU efforts to produce the EPGs are possible only within the national framework of institutions, culture, resources, etc. So, again, it is difficult to separate the efforts of the Member States from the European institutions, efforts, and resources.
Since GNI includes the subsidies granted by the state, it follows that the Member States are today penalized for granting such subsidies. Such an issue is very disputable, but would no longer be relevant should GNI be replaced with GDP.
50% of all the expenditures planned is covered by the Member states based on the real economic convergence gap recorded vs. the European Union average.
NB: The illustration of the present article is excerpted from the 1341 Codex Balduini Trevirorum showing seven Electors of the Holy Roman Empire.
 The European construction is not at all an emergent, that is, a "natural" process, as some analysts claim.
 Maybe less evident in the case of VAT, but this resource accounts of only about 0.3% from all the VAT value collected by the member states.
 With its three components: economic, social, and territorial. The main process involved here is the real and nominal economic convergence.
 Of course, here comes the need to establish such criteria of the real economic convergence (similar with the criteria for the nominal economic convergence in the Maastricht Treaty), which should be introduced into the Treaties of EU.
 For example, to access the European cohesion and structural funds at the level established by the EU budget of the multiannual financial framework (MFF).
 Of course, such an analysis will be done annually, although the annual EU budget is part of the MFF.
 As it is known, , where stays for the indirect taxes, and stays for subsidies. In other words, GDP is expressed in market prices, whilst GNI is expressed in factors cost.
 Its relevance remains, of course, within the possible polemic regarding the replacing of the GNI by the GDP.

Q: Handling missing data in Sequence Analysis (TraMineR) within the observation window I´m using sequence analysis. I have a question about how to deal with missing data within the observation window. The starting point of the analysis is when respondents leave secondary school (t0). I want to examine respondents' life course over a time-span of 36 month after leaving school. The dataset contains longitudinal information of repondents toward their educational histories. I arranged the data in the 'states-sequence' (STS) format. So in each month the dataset provides information on respondents' status (for example "employed" or "training"). For 58 % of the sample the data provides information over the whole observation window. So for this group I can tell in every single month what they are doing. The sequences of the rest of the sample are shorter. Thus, the length of the sequences is not the same for all respondents. How do I handle sequences of respondents that end before month 36. What would be the way the missing values should be handled in TraMineR?

A: (Sorry, not enough reputation to add a comment.)
Are you sure sequence analysis in required for your sort of problem? I'd suggest using time series analysis for interval variables (in case you're monitoring characteristics that can be projected on a numeric scale). This will help you to deal with missingness in an 'interval' way and apply various sorts of imputation methods like those mentioned here: Imputation methods for time series data .
If you deal specifically with ordinal data (say, switching from state to state monitored periodically), the recommended way is to convert your data to patterns (sequences of states) and model transitions between patterns, with methods like Discrete Autoregressive mentioned here: Analysis of Ordinal Value Time Series .

NSSF Statement on Firearms Microstamping Study
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for the firearms industry, fully supports the Firearms Microstamping Evaluation and Study Act (H.R. 5667), which calls for federal study of the ill-conceived and flawed concept of firearms microstamping. NSSF is supporting this legislation because we have grave and serious concerns about this concept. We believe that a comprehensive study will add to the scientific body of evidence now available demonstrating that microstamping is an easily defeated, fundamentally flawed concept that holds the potential for pricing firearms out of the reach of the average American. The gun-control movement, lead by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the Brady Center, support legislation to mandate microstamping, knowing full well it is fundamentally and inherently flawed. These same anti-gun groups oppose studying microstamping because they fear that a study will reconfirm the results of earlier independent testing that conclusively established microstamping to be a flawed and unreliable concept.
Though some states have given credence to the independent studies that concluded microstamping should not be mandated, other states remain intent on pursuing this concept. A national study, building upon these earlier studies, is exactly what is needed to demonstrate why tax dollars should not be wasted on a flawed concept that is being pushed as a backdoor way to ban handguns. In the past, ballistic imaging (BI) was erroneously considered, like microstamping today, to be a panacea to solving crimes involving firearms. After it was adopted by New York and Maryland, the National Academy of Sciences conducted a study on BI technology that confirmed earlier testing showing a national BI database would be flawed and unworkable. While that NAS study was pending, states around the country declined calls from gun-control advocates pushing BI legislation. These states wanted to see the NAS study results before they acted.
The supporters of this bill in Congress, stalwart defenders of the Second Amendment, understand this political reality. That is why they are backing this study and in the process supporting members of the firearms industry, gun owners and law enforcement. The more than 6,000 members of the NSSF, including all major firearm and ammunition manufacturers, thank them for their efforts.

The West Siberian Laïka is a hunting dog of the spitz type that was originally developed to hunt game birds and small prey such as squirrels. They can also be used to hunt large prey such as deer and boar, and are occasionally used to pull sledges. Today their specialty is pursuing valuable sable and ermine. They are one of three Russian Laïkas (or 'barkers'), the other two being the Russo-European and East Siberian Laïkas. At one time a fourth Laïka was recognized, the Karelo-Finnish Laïka, but this breed was merged with the Finnish Spitz in 2006 due to having minor differences.
Descending from spitz-like aboriginal dogs kept by native tribes, the West Siberian Laïka comes from the Ural Mountains, specifically the Khantu and Mansi regions. This is the most common of the three Laïkas.
Is the West Siberian Laïka Right for You?

Beaverton hires former Portland cop who shot unarmed motorist
The Oregonian/OregonLive
Motoya Nakamura/The Oregonian
Former Portland police officer Jason Sery is sworn in as a Beaverton officer Monday night at City Hall.
BEAVERTON -- Jason Sery, a police officer who shot and killed an unarmed motorist and later resigned from the Portland Police Bureau, has been hired as a Beaverton police officer.
Sery, 32, was one of four new officers sworn in at Monday night's City Council meeting and accepted his shield from Mayor Rob Drake. Afterward, Sery was congratulated by fellow officers, including some uniformed Portland officers, one of whom said "Welcome back, brother."
But Sery's hiring is troubling to some in Portland familiar with the March 2004 shooting of James Jahar Perez.
(The Oregonian's earlier coverage of the case.)
The Albina Ministerial Alliance pushed for Sery's firing and indictment in Portland. The Rev. T. Allen Bethel, alliance president, said Tuesday that it's wrong that Sery should be able to resign from Portland and be hired by another agency.
"We are opposed to him being an officer again," Bethel said.
Sery declined to comment after the Monday ceremony, referring questions to Chief David Bishop.
In a prepared statement, Bishop said, "We completed an extensive background investigation before Officer Sery was hired. Based on the background investigation, we determined Officer Sery had been cleared three times of any wrongdoing. His background investigation was probably one of the best of the best.
"We spoke with many members of the community who spoke very highly of Officer Sery, both as a police officer and as an outstanding person."
Sery officially started with Beaverton police on Monday, said Sgt. Paul Wandell, a department spokesman. Sery will go through a seven-week department orientation before going on the road with a field training officer. That will take as long as two more months, after which Sery will patrol alone, Wandell said.
Sery shot and killed Perez after officers were unable to remove Perez from his car and take him into custody for not having a driver's license. Sery shot Perez three times when he saw Perez pull a clenched fist from his right pocket, thinking he was pulling out a gun. A second officer, Sean Macomber, then fired his Taser gun at Perez.
Perez, 28, died of a gunshot to the heart.
The shooting sparked a public outcry and led Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk to hold a rare public inquest into the shooting after a grand jury found no criminal wrongdoing by Sery. Derrick Foxworth, who was Portland chief at the time of the shooting, determined in November 2005 that Sery's actions fell within the bureau's policies, but Foxworth recommended changes in training as a result of the case.
Sery resigned in August 2004 from the Police Bureau, saying he had decided to become a teacher at a Beaverton Christian school and work toward becoming a pastor.
Sery has taught 11th graders at Southwest Christian School, which is affiliated with Southwest Bible Church, a nondenominational church in Beaverton. He's also worked in the college ministry and other ministries, said Scott Gilchrist, senior pastor.
"He's passionate about his love for Christ and his love for people," Gilchrist said. "I can't speak highly enough about him."
Elden Rosenthal, the Portland lawyer who is representing the family of Perez in a multimillion-dollar civil rights suit against the city of Portland, said he was surprised Sery has returned to police work. The lawsuit is on hold while the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals considers whether the Police Bureau's use of force policy is constitutional.
Within the past year, Beaverton police have hired several officers from other agencies who have been involved in high-profile cases.
Randy Gottwald, who retired from the Portland Police Bureau, was one of five officers involved in a 1992 incident in which police shot and killed 12-year-old Nathan Thomas as they tried to rescue him from a knife-wielding intruder. Gottwald fired a shot, but missed.
Viola Valenzuela, who had been a sergeant with the Oregon City Police Department, worked on the murders of Ashley Pond, 12, and Miranda Gaddis, 13. Valenzuela was the first detective to interview neighbor Ward Weaver, who was ultimately arrested and convicted in 2002 of killing the girls.
Wandell said hiring of new officers is very competitive among police agencies, but the hiring of Sery, Gottwald and Valenzuela don't represent a pattern.
"It's a fact of the job that you're going to be involved in situations," he said.

Live Updates: Russia-Ukraine War
Russian-installed authorities of the Kherson region accused Ukrainian forces on Wednesday of carrying out a missile strike on a hotel in the city of Kherson.
Moscow-backed health officials in the region said one person was killed and three more were wounded. Ukrainian officials haven't commented on the strike.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed laws on Thursday absorbing Kherson and three other Ukrainian regions occupied by his army into Russia after the Kremlin-orchestrated "referendums" that Ukraine and the West have rejected as a sham.
Putin's attempt to cement the increasingly precarious gains of Russia's army come as Ukrainian troops are pressing a counteroffensive to reclaim those very regions.
– Putin signs laws annexing 4 Ukrainian regions
– Ukraine nuclear workers recount abuse, threats from Russians
– The AP Interview: Ukraine aims to restart occupied reactors
OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
MOSCOW — The Kremlin held the door open for expanding areas of Ukraine under Russian control following the absorption of four regions it currently holds.
Speaking in a conference call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said "certain territories will be reclaimed, and we will keep consulting residents who would be eager to embrace Russia."
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed laws absorbing the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine into Russia after the Kremlin-orchestrated "referendums" that Ukraine and the West have rejected as a sham.
The move came even as Ukrainian forces were pressing a counteroffensive to reclaim those regions.
Asked about Ukraine taking back some territory in the four regions after their declared annexation, Peskov said Russia would reclaim them.
He wouldn't say if Moscow planned to organize votes in any more Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine.
A former Russian state television journalist who quit after staging an on-air protest against the conflict in Ukraine and who was later charged with spreading false information about Russia's armed forces, said on Wednesday that she is no longer abiding by house arrest rules.
Marina Ovsyannikova separately was charged in August for taking part in a street protest and holding a banner reading: "(Russian President Vladimir) Putin is a killer, his soldiers are fascists. 352 children have been killed (in Ukraine). How many more children should die for you to stop?"
A former state-controlled Channel One employee, Ovsyannikova faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted under a new law that penalizes statements against the military and that was enacted shortly after Russian troops moved into Ukraine.
Ovsyannikova was placed under house arrest pending an investigation and trial, but over the weekend her ex-husband claimed she had escaped with her young daughter.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Ovsyannikova herself said that "starting from Sept. 30, I refuse to abide by the restrictions imposed on me in the form of house arrest and (I) release myself from it."
BRUSSELS — European Union countries agreed on Wednesday to impose new sanctions on Russia after it illegally annexed four regions in Ukraine, according to an EU official, including an expected price cap on Russian oil.
No details of the sanctions were immediately released. They will be published as soon as Thursday.
They are expected to include a price cap on Russian oil, curbs on EU exports of aircraft components to the country and limits on Russian steel imports.
The moves build on already unprecedented European sanctions against Russia as a result of its war against Ukraine since February. EU measures to date include restrictions on energy from Russia, bans on financial transactions with Russian entities including the central bank and asset freezes against more than 1,000 people and 100 organizations. They also include a ban on most Russian oil products from December.
MOSCOW — A Russian-installed official in the Kherson region insisted Wednesday that Ukrainian advances in the region have been halted.
Kirill Stremousov, in comments to the state-run news agency RIA Novosti, said that "as of this morning … there are no movements" by Kyiv's forces.
Stremousov vowed that "they won't enter (the city of) Kherson, it is impossible." He added that the Russian forces in the region were "regrouping" in order to "gather strength and strike (back.)"
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine's presidential office says that at least five civilians have been killed and eight have been wounded by the latest Russian shelling.
A statement on Wednesday says Russian troops used six Iranian suicide drones to strike the town of Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region, leaving one person wounded.
The strikes were the first on the town since March when the Russians retreated from the areas near the Ukrainian capital after a failed attempt to capture it.
Russian forces also shelled the areas on the western bank of the Dnieper facing the Russia-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, and in the Donetsk region.
In Sviatohirsk, which was reclaimed by Ukrainian forces, a burial ground for civilians was found and bodies of four civilians were discovered, according to Donetsk Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko.
Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai said the Ukrainian forces were pressing their offensive from Lyman toward Kreminna snd Svatove. In the Kherson region, the Ukrainian troops captured eight towns and villages so far this week during their counteroffensive, according to the presidential office.
KYIV, Ukraine — Kyiv has dismissed as "worthless" the laws that Russian President Vladimir Putin signed on Wednesday formalizing the annexation of four Ukrainian regions into Russia.
"The worthless decisions of the terrorist country are not worth the paper they are signed on," the head of the Ukraine President's Office, Andriy Yermak, said on Telegram messaging application. "A collective insane asylum can continue to live in a fictional world."
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier said in his nightly address that he has signed a decree rendering void any of Putin's acts designed to annex Ukrainian territories since the annexation of Crimea in 2014.
"Any Russian decisions, any treaties with which they try to seize our land — all this is worthless," Zelenskyy said at the end of his video address.
MOSCOW — Russian energy company Gazprom says it is resuming gas supplies to Italy after reaching an agreement for transit through Austria.
The Russian government-controlled company had suspended delivery to Italy through Austria last week citing regulatory changes that came into effect in the Alpine nation last month.
In a statement Wednesday, Gazprom said the operator of an Austrian pipeline has indicated its willingness to handle the transit of gas to Italy "making it possible to resume the supplies of Russian gas across Austria."
MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed laws formally absorbing four Ukrainian regions into Russia, even as its military is struggling to hang on to control of the regions it illegally annexed.
The documents finalizing the annexation carried out in defiance of international laws were published on a Russian government website on Wednesday morning.
Earlier this week, both houses of the Russian parliament ratified treaties making the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions part of Russia. That followed Kremlin-orchestrated "referendums" in the four regions that Ukraine and the West have rejected as a sham.
On the ground, the conflict has entered a new, more dangerous phase. Russia faces mounting setbacks, with Ukrainian forces retaking more and more land in the east and in the south — the very regions Moscow has pushed to annex.
KYIV, Ukraine — The Ukrainian army has recaptured a number of villages in Kherson region as a part of its massive counteroffensive in the south of the country, the regional military command said.
The Ukrainian flag has been raised above Liubymivka, Khreschenivka, Zolota Balka, Biliaivka, Ukrainka, Velyka and Mala Oleksandrivka villages, Operational Command South said.
The villages are all concentrated on the right bank of the Dnipro river in the northern part of the region.

While I realize I am NOT a Web Development DIY (Do-it-Yourselfer), there are several things I do regularly to help increase my rankings at the major search engines. SEO, or search engine optimization is a key component to attracting your ideal client to your website, blog, or social media presence.
Since blog are 'open source' they are looked upon more favorably by the search engines, and are much easier to update regularly than a static website. Make sure to regularly post to your blog and encourage replies to help increase activity that will bring your site attention online.
Inbound links are also important and help you rank higher in the search engines – so make sure to use lots of links on all your social media, blogs, and websites.
Here are 10 simple ways to improve your search engine rankings with little to no expense (depending on whether or not you're a DIY or have website support and maintenance done by a Virtual Assistant (VA), or in-house staffer/IT Support.). I hope you find them helpful.
1. Schedule regular updates/changes of information on your main website pages. This activity spiders out to search engines to let them know something's happening at your site.
2. Add resources and links to other sites, even affiliate sites where you can make a second income stream would be helpful. It also brings attention to your site.
3. Update or add keywords and meta tags. Search your niche and see what pops up, ask your clients what words they might use in a search engine if they were looking for you. They may come up with words you hadn't even thought of.
4. Add features such as a newsletter subscribe or survey questions. Rotating survey questions is a great way to bring visitors back again and again.
5. Use your website in your marketing pieces. Write articles that would be of interest to your clients and include the URL on the print or electronic marketing piece to drive more traffic to your site.
6. Create private areas of your website where clients can login and retrieve projects or files.
7. Add a blog, or connect to your site from your blog, to increase search engine rankings.
8. Find out what SEO (Search Engine Optimization) can be done manually and set a regular schedule each week, or several times a month to increase your rankings at major search engines.
9. If you get an article published, post a link to it somewhere on your website, or include your website URL in the article so that people will have easy access to your site.
10. Include your website URL on your letterhead, business cards, online directories, and anywhere else you can reasonably post it.
If you incorporate several of these tips into your regular website maintenance, you're sure to see your numbers grow.


Some exciting changes to kick off 2017! Having updated our marketing website at the end of last year, we're now beginning to roll some of the look and feel into the software. Besides the many under-the-hood performance improvements, we've also added some new features we're sure you'll find useful.
You may notice a few visual changes to Brightpearl following our rebranding - we hope you like the new look!
We have created a new status for discontinued products. Previously you could only archive products once all the stock had sold. Now, if you mark products as archived and it has stock, it will move to the new discontinued status. Products with this status will be hidden from purchases and the low inventory report but will still be sellable until all the remaining stock has sold. Once that happens, the product will become archived.
Previously if you did a stock correction or return for an archived product, the status would return to live when given stock. Now, it will be set to discontinued until the stock has cleared. Once cleared it will be returned to archived. Only updating the status manually will change archived or discontinued products to live.
If you wish to batch discontinue items, choose to Batch Archive - this will archive those with no stock and set to discontinued any products with stock.
The product record does have an option for status, which now also shows this discontinued status.
We have created a new batch Purchase Order pop-up. Previously, the options were limited to a few pre-baked recipes. Now, you can configure each element of purchasing, doubling the number of options you have. We have made this change on the basis of there being two use cases: those who wish to purchase for future sales based on the selected sales, and those who wish to purchase items needed to complete the fulfilment of the selected sales. Once you've done this, you can choose whether to factor in on hand or in stock items, and items already on purchase orders.
This beta feature is available on request - please contact design@brightpearl.com if you wish to try it out.
Since we introduced Payment Methods last year, we've been updating sales channel settings to choose the payment method rather than the bank account to be used for payments. In this release, we've upgraded the Amazon channel.
We have added a new setting to Amazon where you can set a status for Seller Fulfilled Prime orders. If you don't want the current behaviour to change, leaving this field blank will do that.
A new report called Sales by Reporting Category has been added to the sales analysis reports. Sales for products with No reporting category are filtered to None under the category column on the report.
We have added a new widget that renders a barcode containing solely the numbers within the goods out note id, without any leading zeros. You can use this on your packing note templates with _gnShortBarcode_. For example, a Goods Out note with ID 123 would scan as '123'.
The current barcode widgets for Goods Out notes adds leading zeros to produce a longer barcode format. Using the same example with the pre-existing barcode widget would scan as '000000000123'.
We're in the process of rolling out an improvement to our outbound webhooks, specifically how retries are handled. This will be an opt-in feature, configurable through the API. The feature will become available in the coming weeks, watch this API documentation page for more details.
We will always attempt to honour registered webhooks and will retry for up to 48 hours to allow for temporary outages in your network or server configuration issues.
Any result other than a successful 2XX HTTP status code will be considered a failure, this includes timeouts at the network level.
Any 4XX status code will be considered a permanent failure and prevent further retries for the event.

Costa Rica has just run on 100 percent renewable energy for 300 days
"However, it's not just a hotspot for newlyweds or keen surfers either, the popular travel destination has also set its sights on saving the world, via its advances with renewable energy. Back in 2015 it managed to generate 100 per cent of its electricity from renewable energy sources for 299 days, and in 2016, it ran for 271 days on everything but fossil fuels. Now, it appears that Costa Rica has done it again. The small country has purportedly run for a whopping 300 days solely on a mixture of hydro, geothermal, wind, biomass and solar energy."

DPR partnered with HKS Architects on this design-build, 101,000-sq.-ft., four-story, 371-bed new student housing building. Located near the North campus entrance, the building is prominently situated, but sits in a dense setting with little to no lay-down area. The project includes complete demolition of the existing Webster Hall structure and a new ground up building in its place.
The new Webster Hall will include 371 beds in single and double rooms, bathrooms, common rooms, residence assistant apartments, lounges, recreation rooms, administrative offices, community space, community kitchen, music room, maintenance shop and laundry facilities.
The project is utilizing Digital Building Components to prefabricate the light gauge structural wall and floor panels off-site. This system was proposed to UC Davis by DPR in lieu of traditional wood construction, and, by using Digital Building Components, the building type was converted from Type V to Type II. This improves the occupant safety and durability of the building.
Construction of Webster Hall begins in Summer of 2017 and is scheduled to be complete in Spring of 2019. It is targeting LEED Gold Certification.

where I visited 12 parks and rode 42 roller-coasters, including my 100th.
"If I could save time in a bottle...."
Shawn McLaughlin and I left Cindy Stout and Michigan's Adventure, our coaster fantasy realized, and made our way down to the Windy City of Chicago. Once we entered the city Shawn somehow got separated from me and wound up in the red light district. After having satisfied his sexual fantasies as well, he managed to find his way back and we spent the night at the Days Inn Disaster Midway Airport. I swear, not only is this part of town unseemly, the Days Inn Disaster is filled with as many shady characters as you could possibly imagine. Walking down the hall, we immediately heard a couple fighting. Loudly. Drunkenly. We got to our room and directly across the hall a small dog was barking non-stop. I opened our door and found yet another reservation screwed up. I reserved two beds, they gave us one. We walked back to the front desk and demanded another room. Only one room available, it only had one bed but at least no dog across the hall. Shawn and I had a fun night looking through coaster magazines. He was on his way to Six Flags Great America the next day and I would be flying to Pittsburgh!
The next morning I said goodbye to Shawn and tearfully bid farewell to my beloved Isuzu Esteem. I boarded the plane for Pittsburgh.
It took me fifteen minutes to get out of bed that morning. Now normally saying something like that would not be a big deal, but I mean it actually took me that long just to physically lift myself up and get my feet on the floor. It hurt just to breathe and it now felt like my lungs were bruised. Still, once I got going I managed to get used to it as I didn't try to cough or blow my nose or anything bad like that. I knew I might not be able to ride the coasters, but I figured today would be a good "off" day anyway. The parks I was visiting were supposed to be small, family type parks, so I figured most of the rides would be of a fairly gentle nature and if nothing else, I could always walk around and take in the atmosphere.
I headed toward Idlewild. I had consulted with many RRCers about how to schedule this particular day. Dana Schwartz was quite helpful in reassuring me that all three parks were doable. I was told two hours at each park would probably be enough, and the drive time didn't seem to be that time consuming.
The drive to Idlewild was nice. First of all I don't have to be hit over the head with a frying pan to figure things out - I upgraded to a Toyota Corolla WITH cruise control, thank you! Secondly, the drive itself was spectacular. The trees got bigger, the hills got hillier and the road got roadi... no, it got more winding. By the time I reached the park I really felt immersed in Pennsylvania mountain country.
Pulling into the parking lot, I could tell right away this was different from any other park I'd visited before. It was more downhome, more small town, more friendly. And I can tell you right now I had a big smile on my face from the moment I opened my car door until I left the park.
It was wonderful not knowing which way I was going or where I was headed. This looks like it might be the back of the park. No wait, it's a children's area. No wait, it's a picnic area. My God!!!!!!!! I can't believe all the people having picnics here! There are families running around all over the place!
Photo courtesy of Teresa Weimer Ohhhhhh!!!! How cute!!! A giant book with an opening at the bottom of the page just big enough for children to enter. Oh this is too cute!! I stopped and watched little kids *running* to the book, then turning back and coaxing their moms into hurrying. I was curious about the book but I wanted to keep walking and just take in the atmosphere of the park for awhile.
And that's exactly what I did. I took in everything. I went into Hootin' Holler and watched a man sitting on a rocking chair playing the banjo. I watched a little boy rock himself to sleep. I saw a young couple share a kiss while leaning against a bridge. I took in the train whistle, which sounded so authentic. I looked at the railroad post marked "Idlewild." I watched a gorgeous waterfall and walked along a creek that ran through Hootin' Holler. I read the menus outside every restaurant.
I saw an old man sitting at the top of a steep hill in front of a big beautiful pavilion, then found myself delighted when I discovered the nearby rides that had been hidden within the park. I watched people sitting on park benches *everywhere* and thought how perfectly placed these benches were and how the people sitting on them actually enhanced the atmosphere of the park. I sat on a bench near the Carousel and ate a sno cone and became a part of the atmosphere. I watched the gentle ferris wheel and thought it was the most romantic looking ferris wheel I'd ever seen. I marveled at all the bunting throughout the park. For a good 20 minutes I watched the river that cut through the park, all the while taking in the activity surrounding me. I watched the ducks swimming in a pond, with the waterpark serving as a backdrop.
Photo courtesy of Theme Park Review I walked on a carpet of fallen pine needles. I rode my first Wild Mouse and was completely intrigued by the tilted lift hill. I grabbed my side as the intense lateral forces took me by surprise. I rode the Rollo Coaster with a nine year old boy who was afraid to ride alone. I laughed as he bravely let go of the bar and put his hands in the air and screamed with delight. He laughed at me as I winced from the pain and ended up holding on to the bar, reversing our roles. And before I left the park I stopped to watch children climb on a giant rope wall as adults walked across a swinging wooden bridge.
Throughout my stay at Idlewild, reunions of all sorts took place. People who hadn't seen each other in awhile would greet one another with hugs and how are yas, familiar faces stopped to have brief, casual conversations. Families walked around together in groups, and mothers weren't yelling at their kids. I saw very few teenagers running around, this isn't a typical place for them. This is a place for families to regroup and reunite. Attitudes seem to change dramatically in this place. I have never been so surprised by a park as I was on this day.
I breathed Idlewild. This was a park I will never forget, and so special is it that I ended up spending more than five hours there. I only rode two rides, both of them roller-coasters. But it was the exploration and discovery of each surprising part of the park that made it so special to me. What a wonderful place for families to visit on a Sunday afternoon. There's simply no better place to spend the day with those you love.
I got in my car and drove in a daze to Altoona. It would be impossible to top this place and I had no such expectations about Blands or Lakemont. I decided to visit Blands first because it was dinner time and I hadn't eaten in 24 hours and I heard Blands had good food. Kind of a funny name for a park that prides itself on having good food, although in Minnesota, where the state motto is "not too spicy now," bland would be considered a compliment.
It's off the beaten path, that's for sure. Leaving Altoona, I took an old highway and drove north for maybe 15 miles to the small town of Tipton. Sure enough, right in the middle of town, there it was. The bright blue and red Zyklon roller-coaster was just off to my left and free parking was available off to my right. My first impression from the road was that it looked like a small county fair. Once I parked my car and got out I saw a huge crowd of people hanging out by a building that said something like Texas BBQ. Well, being a Kansas boy, I am always looking for good barbeque. I walked up and asked the young lady what was good and she recommended their hot dog with chili and cheese. I decided to go for it. It didn't take long to get my food and even less time for me to devour it. I hadn't walked 15 feet before it was gone. Oh my God, it was so good I walked back and ordered another one! This time I made it as far as the waterpark, where I watched one of those big mega-gallon buckets fill with water, then empty itself onto the fifty or so kids waiting below. I think these things are hilarious! There was also a go-kart track and a large miniature golf course on this side of the park and all three attractions were packed with patrons.
I walked across the overhead bridge and entered the main section of the park. There were a *ton* of people coming into the park for such a late hour, and a Sunday night at that! Many of them were carrying folding lawn chairs. I figured there must be some kind of family or church get together. My admission was $6.95. When I saw all that I was getting for my money I couldn't believe it.
I immediately got on and this time I knew what I was doing. I clipped a branch several times. Man, I LOVE these things!!! After I got off one little kid asked me how I "did it" so I told him what to do and watched as he successfully piloted the Flyers.
I looked around. Okay, this park is WAY cool. First of all, it does have a kind of permanent carnival atmosphere to it. But it's not cheap looking at all, everything is spotless, the buildings are nice, and the rides look to be in mint condition. And it's nice to see such a small park appear so vital and healthy and well attended. The crowd is noticeably young, junior high aged and older. Where did all the old people I entered the park with go?
I heard Blands had good pizza, so I ordered a slice. I believe it was only a buck, and I couldn't believe how big the slice was. Man, was it good! This isn't cheap tasting pizza at all, it's very VERY good. I don't know which I like better between Blands and Holiday World, but both of these parks set a standard of quality for pizza that no other park I've been to comes close to matching.
Photo courtesy of Theme Park Review I headed for the roller-coaster. While waiting in line a very pretty young girl asked me about my RRC button. I told her what it was and she said her name was Chris and she was crazy about roller-coasters. She told me her high school graduation present was a trip to PKD and she would be going next month with her mother to ride The Grizzly. We rode the coaster together and she chattered away the entire time, telling me about her plans for college and which coasters she wanted to ride. She also told me she'd met a boy here yesterday and was sure hoping he would come back tonight. I told her if he showed up she could ditch me and everything would be okay.
The Zyklon has a really good first drop. Actually it's a spectacular first drop! But after that the brakes are applied in a heavy handed fashion all over the track. I really wasn't enjoying my rides as much as I had hoped. The pain in my side was just wearing me down and after six rides I couldn't take it anymore.
I told Chris I needed a break and we went to the dairy building and ordered ice cream cones. It was great. Chris talked non-stop about her plans for the future and what boys in the park she thought were cute. Then we headed over to what looked like the biggest Round Up I have ever seen.
This was a big mistake. The centrifugal force of the ride caused me excruciating pain. Worse still, the ride op ran the ride for over 5 minutes. The pain was incredible! I had to sit down on the exit steps after the ride ended for a few minutes. I told them I had a stomach ache.
I got over it. We went over to the Flyers and rode two more times. Chris had never ridden them before because she thought they were stupid. But she loved it once she figured them out. Oh man, I could ride these all day! What fun! The ride op laughed when I asked if I could stay on. Oh man, if it's true the Flyers at Knoebels were even better than these then I was in for a real treat tomorrow!
Chris wanted to go on the coaster again but I became afraid to ride it. Afraid of a Zyklon, how pitiful. I told Chris I would have to quit, at least for awhile, and I hoped her friend showed up. She wished me well and I headed for one last walk around the park.
I came upon another food building - this one with *the potato salad.* Now I had heard about Blands potato salad so I really wanted to try it. It's kind of an odd thing to be known for, don't you think? Potato salad? But I kind of understand because of all the things my Mom makes I've always liked her potato salad the best. I also noticed they had some very tasty sounding sandwiches. I ordered a BBQ ham sandwich and some potato salad.
"I'm sorry, sir, we just ran out of potato salad."
"Yeah, not more than five minutes ago."
"Oh come on, you're killin me here!"
"Well I mean,.... don't you have ANY?"
"No, I'm sorry, we don't have any left at all."
"Well, can I at least lick the bowl?"
"Oh my God!!! No, you can't lick the bowl!!"
Everybody in the kitchen started laughing and came over to see the guy who wanted to lick the bowl. They gave me a nice big ham sandwich smothered in barbecue sauce and some chips and a pickle. I sat down at a small table and watched a HUGE concert going on in a *fantastic* tree shrouded pavillion area. So that's where all the people were going. It was an Up With People concert. I didn't even know they still existed! I used to go to Up With People concerts thirty years ago when I was kid! "Up, up with people, there's people wherever you go.... up, up with people, the friendliest people you know."
A young couple in their late twenties walked up to me. The guy asked if I'd mind sharing my table with them. I told them no, but did they have any potato salad? No, I'm only joking of course. They sat down and were very nice, and I got the impression they were on their first date by the questions they were asking one another. While sitting there enjoying my dinner (and I do mean enjoying, their food really is fantastic!) I realized how comfortable I felt at this park. This is Everytown, U.S.A. I wish we had one of these in St. Paul. It's an extremely well run, very nice, very fun, very surprising park, and I can see why the locals support it so well. If I lived in Tipton I'd be here every Sunday night, too!
I finished my sandwich and decided I'd better head out if I was going to make it to Lakemont before closing. On my way out I passed the pizza place again. I stopped, walked back and ordered a whole veggie supreme. Total cost, six bucks. I was completely full but figured I could eat it later that night and if it were half as good cold as it was hot I'd be more than satisfied.
I may have breathed Idlewild, but I INHALED Blands!
I drove to Altoona and checked into my room at the Econolodge. I thought about heading right over to Lakemont but felt like I was going to pass out so I decided to take a break. I called Susan and told her I thought I was in trouble.
"You've got to go to the hospital."
"No, I've got to go to Lakemont!"
We talked for almost ninety minutes. I didn't want to go to a doctor because I was pretty sure it was severely bruised ribs and there was nothing they could do for me anyway. Susan, being the more practical one, asked me how I was able to discern bruised from broken, or even ribs from lungs. She always approaches things more cautiously than I. But there was no way was I going anywhere but the park. I figured the less I knew the easier it would be to get through this trip, which, I reminded her, was only three days old!
I hurried to get to Lakemont. The park was scheduled to close in just under an hour and I wasn't even sure if they'd let me in this late. The Skyliner cut an impressive looking figure as I crossed over the highway and drove down to the parking lot. There wasn't even anyone at the gate so I just walked right on in. I had already bought my ticket at the Econolodge so it's not like I was stealing or anything, and I figured if anyone asked I would just give my ticket to them.
The place was deserted. What a strange little park! The front was grand and seemed to suggest a much bigger park than what I saw before me. The entrance seemed totally out of character with the rest of the park.
I wanted to do two things: look at Leap the Dips and ride the Skyliner, which would be my 75th roller-coaster. I began to head for it when I spotted a ride I had never seen before. It was the Toboggan. I wanted to ride it but knew there wasn't time, and besides I figured out Leap the Dips was just ahead so I wandered around to the back to see what the oldest wooden roller-coaster in the world looked like.
Photo courtesy of Theme Park Review I was shocked at what I saw. It looked awful. The coaster looked as though it had been left to fall apart. The sight of all that rotted wood, peeling paint and missing track made me depressed. There were pieces of old wood everywhere. A little bit of work had been done on what looked like a storage or lift shed, but it was very minimal and besides, it was completely overshadowed by the strange, sad roller-coaster just rotting away in front of me. The crown on the lift hill looked eerie, and I suddenly became aware that I was completely alone in what felt like an abandoned area of the park. I walked away feeling dejected and hoping that the restoration project would be successful.
As I headed toward the Skyliner the sun began to set. The only activity in the park seemed to be The Toboggan, the go-karts and Skyliner. The Skyliner was a walk on, and I chose a seat toward the front. I figured the forces would be less extreme in the front, thereby bettering my chances for a reride. Following this night I would try to keep my backseat rides to a minimum for the remainder of my trip.
The Skyliner has the most interesting rolling stock I've ever seen, and it's one of my favorite. Single lap bars, no dividers and the seats are the most cushiony I've ever felt! And yet they do NOT look old! The trains are painted in funky colors with purple the dominate color scheme. I'm guessing they're newly refurbished.
Photo courtesy of Joyrides The ride itself was great fun. The first drop delivers loads of airtime. I caught a young boy riding in front of me on videotape as he popped out of his seat - he had great coaster hair! The third drop has a nasty little pothole, but other than that the ride is smooth and fast and has a number of different elements and forces. I got three rides on it and I'm convinced it's the most underrated coaster in the world. Thank you Dave Althoff for suggesting I ride this beauty at night!
The ride ops shut down the Skyliner for the night and as the last of us walked down the exit ramp a man came riding up in a cart. He saw my coaster shirt and said "I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say you're an ACE member!" I said that I was and he introduced himself as Pete Carmichael, the ride operations manager for the park. As he walked around closing down the park we talked at length about the Skyliner and the upcoming Coaster Con at Kennywood. He was an extremely amiable guy and very easy to talk to. The final image I have of this park was the Skyliner, lights out and dark, with just a sliver of the sun barely visible behind it. I couldn't think of a more fitting way to end this memorable day.
I made it back to my room and put my pizza on the dresser, where it remained untouched for the rest of the night. This was the first day I had ever gone to a park by myself, yet I never once felt alone. As I tried to ease myself into bed I finally felt the first pangs of self-pity creeping in. Pain has a way of reminding us how alone we are in this world.
Tomorrow I'm going to find a friend.


Instead of cutting checks, states are now using debit cards to provide funds for social services such as unemployment payments. These cards are often issued through well-known credit card companies and banks. While program specifics differ by state, most programs offer a few basic ways to check your unemployment funds balance.
Hand holding a debit card.
Many benefits debit cards have a customer service phone number printed on the back of the card. Calling it will give you access to an automated system that allows you to check your benefits balance.
Some states offer online customer service for electronic benefits cards. For example, unemployment beneficiaries in both California and Arizona can find out their balance through the Bank of America website. Beneficiaries in Texas can find their balance online at the Chase Bank website.
Another common way to check the balance on an electronic benefits card is to use an ATM, just as you would with any other type of debit card. Many states allow you to not only check your balance on an ATM, but make cash withdrawals as well.

By Professor David Henley, Leiden University
This article is the original of an opinion piece that was published in Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant on 18 April 2019.
Indonesia is the world's fourth biggest country and its third biggest democracy. On 17 April close to 200 million Indonesian voters went to the polls to elect their president, vice president, and parliamentarians, both national and regional, all on one day. Including all the members of the regional and local assemblies, more than 20,000 representatives were to be chosen, including some 700 at national level.
The last decade has not been kind to democracy, in Asia or elsewhere. In Thailand and Cambodia it has collapsed altogether; in the Philippines it is in a state of crisis under the presidency of the violent populist strongman Rodrigo Duterte. Against this backdrop, the resilience and continuing popularity of Indonesia's democracy are striking. Sixteen different parties contested the seats available on 17 April, and there was no lack of public debate about their programmes or the qualities of their leaders.
Yet most foreign observers are convinced that however resilient, Indonesian democracy is also 'defective': corrupt, oligarchic, clientelistic, cartelized, and dominated at every level by 'money politics'. The present head of state, Joko Widodo (Jokowi), seemed to promise hope for change when he was elected in 2014. With his clean personal reputation and his technocratic record as mayor of the cities of Solo and Jakarta, he appeared the antithesis of his then – and now – opponent Prabowo Subianto, former general and son-in-law of Suharto, alleged human rights criminal, and brother of a politically connected business oligarch. Since Jokowi's election, however, he has not lived up to reformist expectations. Surrounding himself with generals and oligarchs of his own, he has made peace with corruption (or at least, with other people's corruption) in order to assemble a parliamentary majority and get the political establishment on his side. One view is that this process of compromise and degeneration has gone so far that it really doesn't matter any more who wins; the sordid business of money politics will go on regardless.
Money politics, however, is only a small part of Indonesian voting behaviour. According to research by political scientist Burhanuddin Muhtadi, only ten percent of voting decisions in the 2014 legislative election were actually determined by gifts and handouts. Since margins of victory are often small, this does not mean that vote buying does not affect outcomes. But it is not the dominant factor, and especially not in a presidential election. Other recent research suggests that a second important type of money politics, collusion between politicians and business interests, is distinctly less prevalent in urban than in rural and frontier settings. Since Indonesia is getting more urban by the day, this bodes well for the direction of the country's political development.
Another common idea is that Indonesia is intensely polarized along religious lines, and that the electoral contest must be viewed primarily in that light. Events in Jakarta in 2017, when the capital's Christian governor Ahok was de-elected and imprisoned after being accused of insulting Islam, certainly seem to point in this direction, and Prabowo certainly flirts more openly than Jokowi with the Islamic right. But while political Islam has been very visible in Indonesia recently, it has not been getting more successful in electoral terms. In Indonesia's first free election of 1955, parties with an explicitly Islamic basis took 41 per cent of the national vote; in 2014, only 30 per cent. A presidential candidate must still have at least some Islamic appeal in order to be electable. In 2019, however, both candidates do, Jokowi having included an Islamist party in his coalition and chosen an influential Muslim cleric as his prospective vice president.
Probably the deciding factor in the 2019 elections will not be Islam or money, but programmes, policies, and Jokowi's record in implementing them. Aware that his reformist credentials have become shaky, Jokowi has reoriented himself toward an ideology of national economic development. His policy emphasis has been on transport infrastructure, public health, and education, both as means to economic growth and as services to the public. On all of these fronts, some real progress has been made during his presidency. Whatever its shortcomings, Indonesian democracy has proven itself capable both of promoting economic growth, and of enabling citizens to share in the fruits of that growth. That is good news for the people of Indonesia, and a source of hope for democrats elsewhere in Asia.
De BNR China Podcast 第五集: Hoe gevaarlijk is de Nieuwe Zijderoute?


IS OBAMA THROWING THE ELECTION?
Everywhere I speak I am asked if Romney supports Agenda 21 too.
Globalization is the standardization of systems. The erection of a totalitarian fascist state. A corporatocracy. Romney and Obama are part of that---are the face of it.
Now it looks like Obama is throwing the election to Romney. Why would he do that? Think back to the years of Bush II. We were worn out with war and fake victory. Battered by 9/11 and the USA PATRIOT Act. Frustrated by hanging chads and angered by Enron.
Then came Obama. For many this was a chance at recovery. For many on the left it was "HOPE and CHANGE." For the country it was a chance to show that racism was over. It was a manipulation. A smokescreen designed to forward UN Agenda 21 with a green mask.
What have we seen with Obama?
A mystery package in healthcare, thousands of pages of rules and regulations to be fully opened in 2014. A tax on 'Cadillac healthcare plans' which is a punishment for those who have quality care.
Fast and Furious--gunwalking. Selling weapons to drug warlords in Mexico in a sort of B Team cartoon that cost many their lives and increased major border crime. US Attorney General Eric Holder lying to Congress.
Renewable energy fiasco Solyndra stealing a half billion dollars in a criminal scheme with the Obama administration. Other energy companies guilty as well. Wind energy racketeering. Money grabs. Tax blinds.
How about the latest with Libya? Lying about a movie and inflaming the Arab world with this lie, when the attack was motivated by the anniversary of 9/11 AND WAS ANTICIPATED. Inadequate security made it possible.
Obama threw the last debate. He hung his head. He held his fire. He dropped to the mat. He warned his supporters ahead of time that he was a poor debater and that Romney would win. Why?
Would you fold up your tents and go home if Romney wins? Are you ready to jump up and down in victory if Romney wins? Will you go back to sleep if Romney wins? That's what they're hoping. That you, the Resistance, will be fooled by a suit and a haircut, and a change of teams, and that you'll go quietly back to the couch.
YOU ARE THE RESISTANCE. DON'T BE FOOLED. AGAIN.
Thank you Rosa, you said it beautifully. DO NOT BE FOOLED. Romney will help restore the economy hoping that we will not watch the other hand. We MUST remember this lesson and never stop being diligent. Vet your candidates, vote for issues not party. Protect America and not a One World Government with a New World Order. You are important, America is important. Without America freedom and liberty will be gone forever.
My only hope is that we can get that Senate and House.....that Romney (who is not a communist) will slow things down so that we can continue to redo that Congress and work it from that angle. There is no chance with Obama in there.....but I see this as a chance for time to do the other. God help us.
We are on the same wavelength, but people need to understand with both head and heart (in other words understand it fully) that while Romney is no Marxist, he and Obama take marching orders from the same global elites. Thus Romney will be pushing Agenda 21 just as hard -- from the other direction, the Hegelian Dialectic. Also ask why the elites have given the mainstream media the go-ahead to trash Obama and to talk about Agenda 21. The msm also follows their marching orders so, presumably, they are fed up with O and are switching horses. Re: Congress. Right now they are powerless and have been for several administrations so unless they take back their rightful power, there isn't much hope counting on them. Not being pessimistic but want to be sure we keep fighting and, as importantly, we know our enemy.
Ditto's! Bush 42, then Clinton, then Bush 44 and now Obama, have all been moving the ball forward. The answer is to regain control of our local government, get them off the teet of State and Federal dollars, scrub the code of A21 from local ordinances and WAC's, get out of Growth Management! The citizens of this country must maintain resistance to and restore our constitutional rights!
A Romney victory would give us breathing space that a second Obama term would not. With our heads deep under water right now, a change of administrations would allow us a gulp of air above the surface. No time for complacency, to be sure. But we'd be better positioned to salvage liberty while resubmerged..
Stella, I'm amazed! For months now I've had that exact same picture in my mind's eye— myself / my country struggling while being held underwater hoping to keep from drowninging before for a change of power. If those hands pushing us under are replaced by another, even a worst case scenario could grant us a gulp of air. And it may be better than that. Romney may have a better conscience.
"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy."
"In short, Massachusetts Governor Romney aggressively managed state dollars and rules to drive sustainable community development in the Bay State."
"But now he's flipped by jettisoning sustainability principles and hewing to an extremist GOP platform. This is extremely disappointing, and worthy of more media coverage. Governor Romney not only endorsed but pursued smart growth and sustainable development as chief executive of Massachusetts. It was a good, fiscally and environmentally responsible program then, and it deserves support now."
"The bottom line? Presidential candidate Mitt Romney should take a cue from Massachusetts Governor Romney by supporting sustainable community development."
On this I'd hope Romney would agree with the Judge that said, "I'd rather be right than consistent!" This could be anything from a genuine change of heart to mere political expediency to be reconnoitered under cover of darkness. But that leads us to more pertinent clichés: The price of liberty is eternal vigilance and sometimes you have to make it easy for the wrong person to do the right thing.
LONG WAY TO SAY I AGREE!


Ottawa chamber music summers have become quite famous and now attract throngs of music lovers to the shores of the Rideau River.
This is the fruit of solitude, the true travel. An hour passes like a breath.
...even on the last day I saw him, he found a moment to walk his way onto my chest and give me that special Salinger kiss. It was cool.
My dad is one of the lucky ones. His voice merges alongside mine like beautiful scraps of material. This is a story about a man but not about any man. It is a story about my father.
There's really no way to prepare for the death of a parent. When it happens, it happens when you least expect it. When it happens, you grieve, but you feel relieved. Guilty, but relieved.
London doesn't exist. Has never existed. All those who say it does are liars!
Can the US, our big brother, really be sliding from democracy to authoritarianism to dictatorship?
you will reel with horror at the paucity of intelligence in American Governance and if you ever thought 'The Donald' or Steve Bannon deserved any sympathy – think again. This is all very frightening stuff.

Grins All Around
by Craig | Feb 20, 2014 | Guest Blog
I just spent the last hour grinning.
I've been lucky to see many great performances in my life. Broadway and London's West End; major musical acts like Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, the Rolling Stones; Cirque du Soleil …
But I don't think I've ever seen a performance as high energy, as thrilling, and as genuine as what I experienced tonight.
It wasn't because of the artists' skill, although they were extremely talented, and very well trained.
It wasn't because of what the performers did, although they flipped themselves into the air, somersaulted over a jump rope of fire, juggled, danced, and balanced on an impossible stack of cylinders.
It wasn't because of the show's storyline, although it was compelling and well told, with subtitles in 4 languages translating the spoken Khmer.
It wasn't because of the music, although it kept my toes tapping and is still in my head.
It wasn't even because of the background of these young performers – many of whom have overcome lives so underprivileged it is beyond most of our western imaginations.
Why could I not wipe the smile off my face?
Because these artists committed. Not just on the high calibre stunts, but on every single dance step and movement. There was nothing lacklustre or halfway done. I don't think I've ever seen another performance like that.
And, best of all, I've never seen bigger grins on artists' faces. They were thrilled to be performing and we were thrilled to be watching them — grins all around.
If you're in Cambodia you can't miss a performance of Phare. If you're lucky enough to be in town when the show changes (as it does every 10 days or so), you need to see more than one performance.
And if Phare ever comes to your town, make sure you get a front row seat. You don't want to miss these smiles.
