There is a youtube video of House stenographer Diane Reidy testifying the truth before Congress that they are all sons of the devil. In fact, the top leaders of the US government are all Luciferians. They are all members of Luciferian secret societies. This woman was simply telling the truth in this video linked below.
These Luciferians are able to maintain power in part through their mind control methods. Years ago a group of scientist insiders developed a method for deprogramming the victims of MK Ultra type Trauma Based mind control. I call this method Fabian Therapy. It really works. This information may be suppressed, I suggest you make copies and send them to others. The Link below has this PDF article.
It's difficult for Americans to realize that our country is really a secret Theocracy. We don't actually have a secular government. We have the Illusion of a secular government, and the reality of a Luciferian secret society Theocracy. There are many examples of occult symbolism around Washington DC. The true anti-Christ was Adam Weishaupt. On May 1st, 1776 he founded the Illuminati Luciferian religion that presently rules this country and most of the world. These Illuminati members are brainwashed cult members just like the Moonies or the Jim Jones cult. Below is a link to my youtube video on how to deprogram the Illuminati Doctrine.
Because Luciferianism is a secret religion, its leaders don't feel that they have to justify themselves to society. They can pretend to be Christians while secretly betraying the citizens who trust them. People might think that Diane Reidy went crazy, but actually during her rant before the house, she was probably the only sane person in the room.

It's time for another post about some new things I'm into and what I'm currently loving! This week I ventured to a new to me art store and found some fun brush pens, I'm also testing out a new beauty product, and lastly I'm cooking up something super yummy and healthy!
I just checked out a (new to me) art store here in Budapest with a friend called Fiok and they had sooooo many fun supplies including a ton of different brush pens. I normally use the Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen but since they didn't have that style I picked up some other ones to test out. I will definitely report back soon! If you want to see other pens and supplies I use be sure to check out my favorite's page.
As I'm always looking at ways to clean up my products I am now trying out some natural deodorants including this charcoal one from Primally Pure. I just started using it but so far I'm happy with how it works! If you want to check it out too, here is my referral link.
I love to cook and be in the kitchen and am always trying new recipes whether from my favorite cookbooks, bloggers, or a random Pinterest find! But I always love the recipes on Gimme Some Oven and this new one I tried is just as amazing. If you need something fresh and springy but light and delicious then definitely try out this Vietnamese spring roll salad.
I hope you enjoy all of the content on DESIGN, CALLIGRAPHY, BUSINESS, & MORE! If you want to find out even more about Proof & Parchment and what I can offer you, just click the button!

In Moscow she also studied theatre with Vsevolod Meyerhold at the Vakhtangov Theatre. From 1937 she was a journalist for the Oslo magazine Hallo-Hallo!, and worked for Norsk Lovtidend from 1940.

During World War II she was a member of an underground newspaper group and was arrested by the Gestapo in 1942. She was imprisoned at Grini, and sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp in 1943.

From 1945 she worked for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, as a radio program announcer. Among her responsibilities was the program Ønskekonserten, the most popular radio show in Norway ever.

Same here. The ones I know don't supprt trump. But, interestingly enough, they will not vote for a democrat to keep/get him out of office. Not sure if that says more about them or more about the dems.
You can only agree with that if you believe life is a zero sum game. In other words, you only gain something if another person loses something.
I can say more. But, I am just going to leave it at that for now.
@ a tweet of some ones personal opinion is news now ? After all the times u move my threads ? Is this a liberal site now ?

Pat Metheny, Danilo Perez, And Jean-Luc Ponty Select Jazz Winners In International Songwriting Competition (ISC)
The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) has announced its 2015 winners selected out of 18,500 entries from 120 countries worldwide.
Taking home First Place in the Jazz category is Omar Sosa (Camaguey, Cuba) for his song "Sad Meeting." Second Place is awarded to Carl Bartlett, Jr. (Queens, NY, USA) for "Quantum Leaps (And Bounds)," and Third Place goes to David Smith (Brooklyn, NY, USA) for "Halloween Song."
The Jazz category continues to be extremely competitive as the depth of talent is extraordinary," says Candace Avery, ISC Founder and Director. "The winners embody everything that ISC is looking for, and it is a privilege to honor them. " Established in 2002, ISC awards more than $150,000 in cash and prizes to amateur and professional songwriters around the world.
Garnering First Place is Cuban artist Omar Sosa for his song "Sad Meeting." Sosa has been nominated for seven GRAMMY awards and two BBC World Music Awards; he is also the recipient of a lifetime achievement award from the Smithsonian and the Afro-Caribbean Jazz Album of the Year award from the Jazz Journalists Association. Sosa entwines the expressive traditions of Africa and the Americas in a unique cosmopolitan voice, articulating a brilliant, joyous, and thoroughly contemporary global jazz idiom. He fuses a wide range of jazz, world music, and electronic elements with his Afro-Cuban roots to create a fresh and original urban sound – all with a Latin jazz heart. His career embodies the expansive outlook of a visionary artist who has taken Monk's uncompromising spirit to heart, while working ceaselessly to craft and project a singular, contemporary sound.
Second Place is awarded to the exciting and innovative saxophonist Carl Bartlett, Jr. for his song "Quantum Leaps (And Bounds)." Hailing from Queens, New York, he marked his arrival onto the Jazz scene with the 2011 release of his critically acclaimed debut CD, Hopeful. He has since emerged as one of the leading lights in the Post Bop/Straight Ahead/Contemporary Jazz world as both a player and composer. "A tone that only the greats have the ability to attain" raves All About Jazz, describing the newness and profound sonic nature of Bartlett, Jr.'s cathartic, rich and round alto sax sound. He consistently performs with his own ensemble, The Carl Bartlett, Jr. Quartet/Quintet, at many of today's preeminent Jazz clubs, cultural venues, and festivals.
Third Place honors go to David Smith, a Canadian-born trumpeter based in New York City, for his song "Halloween Song." He has released three albums of original music as a leader: Impetus (2015), Anticipation (2010) and Circumstance (2006). While the roots of his music are in classic jazz, he combines elements of classical harmony and counterpoint resulting in a unique compositional voice. His approach to the trumpet is intervallic and harmonically sophisticated yet lyrical and emotional. In addition to his own recordings, he is featured as a sideman on over fifty recordings for Columbia Records, EMI, Motown, Fresh Sound New Talent, Steeplechase, Brooklyn Jazz Underground Records and several smaller labels and independent releases. He has recorded for Harry Connick Jr., Alan Ferber, Jon Gordon and Tom Jones, among others. He has a Master of Arts Degree in Jazz Performance from the Aaron Copland School of Music in New York, and is an adjunct faculty member at the College of Staten Island, CUNY.

The Recording Time in Build A Word Easy Spelling App is Too Long. How do I deal with the noise?
A number of schools asked us to do increase recording time for new spelling words narration because they needed longer time to add sentences in narration especially when using homonyms like 'see', and 'sea'. @Reks cares about the users and gladly made the changes. However, we also realized that some users might find this extra time surplus filled with white noise so we added an option of trimming the sound.
3. Say the word out loud – you may add a sentence with the word. If you do not add a sentence and you find the recording time too long, you may trim the recording.
Say the word out loud – you may add a sentence with the word.
4. The far right and far left ends of the progress bar show time of the beginning and ending of the recorded narration in seconds (00.00 and 10.04). You may pull the ends closer together thus trimming the length of the recording. You may do this from left to right, or from right to left.

What does Tokyo, Havana and Glasgow all have in common? Well, according to The New York Times we're one of the 45 must see places of 2012.
But of course you don't need one of the most-read Pulitzer Prize winning newspapers to tell you this. Quite simply Glasgow is fantastic. Still – it's nice to be sited as a respectable 12th on the esteemed list.
And while we aim to highlight all those wonderful must-see and do places in glorious Glasgow – understandably we also know that after the Christmas extravagance, January can be penny-pinching time.
But doing something wonderful in Glasgow doesn't have to cost a thing – in fact, Queen's Park in the South Side provides a great day of sight seeing, beautiful scenery and discovery.
Steeped in history it offers fantastic views, extensive rose gardens and if you wonder up to the Glasshouse, you can check out exotic wildlife (fish, birds and reptiles), foliage and various flowering plants.
And what better way to use up stale bread than on feathery friends. I was treated to a swan show complete with a backdrop ballet performed by mallards, tufted ducks and a variety of other creatures of the winged variety.
So don't suffocate inside lamenting a diminishing bank account – get out, breathe in the new year in fresh crisp air. Detox your wallet and replenish your soul at Queen's Park or one of Glasgow's many other outdoor wonders.
2012 is the year to explore Glasgow! And with over 90 parks and gardens throughout the city – there's ample choice, something for everyone and really no good excuse not to.

Over the last month we've seen Britain's big three political parties trip over each other as they bid to out-Farage one another in their rhetoric on immigration. The Tories, as you might expect, took the hardest line and announced measures to curb benefits to immigrants. The Labour Party, still bearing the scars from losing the last general election, mounted a broadside against their own failure in government to curb immigration. And the Lib Dems swung away from their traditionally 'liberal' policy on immigration by abandoning support for an amnesty for illegal immigrants and laying out plans for a £1,000 bond for those visiting from "high-risk" countries.
But it isn't just Nigel Farage and his increasingly wacky UKIP friends who hold such sway over the main three parties. They're also terrified of opinion polls. The truth is that British people are far more afraid of immigration than our European neighbours. Oxford University's Migration Observatory shows that the level of people saying immigration has gone 'too far' has hovered around 60% since the late 1980s.
What politicians from the big three parties seemingly fail to grasp is the role that they play in fanning the flames of immigrant bashing in the right wing press. Their role in this is twofold: Firstly they persistently reinforce the 'fact' that immigrants are a drain on services and a threat to society and then they fail to deal with the underlying causes for people's concern.
And those causes of concern are very real: There is a chronic lack of truly affordable housing in the UK. Many people wait for years on social housing waiting lists, others are forced onto the rental market. But, according to David Aaronovitch of The Times, only 11 per cent of new migrants have been allocated social housing, compared with 17 per cent of UK-born residents living in this sector. With nine out of ten new migrants not moving into social housing governments can't seriously blame immigration for our housing crisis.
Of course people are worried about their jobs. Despite the recession not yet hitting the jobs market as hard as expected we still have over 2.5 million people unemployed in the UK and one in five young people out of work. But this isn't because all of the jobs are going to immigrants. In fact the Office for National Statistics note that just one in ten new jobs goes to a migrant. To their credit the Labour Party has spoken about the downward pressure that immigration can have on wages. They are absolutely right to call for much tougher enforcement of minimum wages and they were absolutely wrong not to clamp down on this when they were in government.
With the Tories freezing some benefits, forcing people from their homes with the bedroom tax and consistently bashing those relying on social security it's no wonder that there are concerns about non-UK citizens abusing the remnants of the welfare system this Government is so intent on dismantling. But blaming immigrants for sponging of the state belies the fact that they are less than half as likely to claim working age benefits as those born in the UK.
Despite the fact that less then two in ten people believe immigrants cause a problem in their neighbourhood and that the myths around immigration fail to stack up when confronted with the evidence, almost two thirds of us think that there are too many immigrants in the UK. The more politicians in lay the blame on immigration – and they're supported in this by an immigrant-phobic media – the more people will believe what they say.
A cosy consensus has formed in Westminster. It's one which sees politicians so drenched in opinion poll data and so focussed on a fear of losing votes to UKIP that they forget their own principles. It sees all three main parties using immigration as a scapegoat for the problems in society which recent governments have either created or failed to fix.
This country is indeed facing a crisis, but it's not an immigration crisis. The vast majority of people living here, whether they were born in the UK or elsewhere, are paying the price for a crisis which they had no part in causing. Wages are stagnating, benefits are being cut and enough houses aren't being built. It's time to pull the wool from our eyes and refocus our anger on the financial system which caused the crisis and the cuts consensus in Westminster that is only making things worse.
The House of Commons Committee of Public Accounts report, published today, concludes that the introduction of direct payments of housing benefit to tenants living in social housing could lead to an increase in rent arrears that would leave social landlords with less money to build new homes.
"There is a risk that the introduction of direct payments of housing benefit to tenants living in social housing could lead to an increase in rent arrears and evictions," the report says.
It adds that an increase in arrears could "reduce the funds available for social landlords to maintain existing homes and invest in new homes".
The report says that the committee had been told by housing association L&Q that it had doubled its provision for bad debts from 3.5 per cent to 7 per cent in preparation for a possible increase in arrears, and that the association now expects to reduce the number of homes it can build annually by 80 to 920.
The government announced measures in the Emergency Budget of June 2010 and the Spending Review of October 2010 aimed at altering the housing benefit system to reduce annual expenditure. The changes included reductions in the rates paid for private rented sector housing and deductions in payments to social sector tenants in under-occupied homes. Under-occupied homes are defined as homes in which there is more than one bedroom for each person or couple living as part of the household, with children under the age of 15 being expected to share with one other child of the same gender, and children under the age of 9 being expected to share with one other child aged nine or under, regardless of gender. The alterations bring under-occupation rules for social sector claimants in line with the rules for private rented sector claimants.
The MPs' report said that the Department for Work and Pensions was introducing the changes "without comprehensive modelling of the likely outcome on individuals or on housing supply".
It added: "The changes to housing benefit could have an adverse impact on levels of homelessness. Social landlords told us that they expected evictions to rise because some households would not make the behavioural changes needed to respond to housing benefit reforms.
National Housing Federation chief executive David Orr said: "That the Government is bringing in these housing benefit changes without knowing the full consequence on the vulnerable people affected is worrying and irresponsible.
RESPONDING TO THE BUDGET ANNOUNCEMENT, GREEN MP CAROLINE LUCAS (BRIGHTON PAVILION) SAID: "Amidst the tax breaks for shale gas and boastful roadbuilding pledges, there is one huge green economy-shaped hole in this flailing Chancellor's Budget.
"With the UK's green economy now worth over £120bn – 9% of GDP – providing nearly a million jobs and generating a third of our most recent economic growth according to the CBI, it is completely inexplicable that George Osborne keeps pretending it doesn't exist.
"Given the huge potential of green industries and clean energy generation to provide British jobs and prosperity, as well as the obvious environmental benefits they will deliver, it's time to drop austerity and go for Plan G.
LUCAS CONTINUED: "This should also mean the Chancellor ditching his irrational obsession with gas. It's outrageous that the Government is willing to gift yet more tax breaks to companies drilling for hard-to-reach shale – a costly gamble that risks keeping the UK addicted to polluting fossil fuels at precisely the time we should be leaving them in the ground.
"A Government which really cared about bringing energy bills under control and improving energy security would put its money on renewables – where the costs are predictable and falling – and agree to recycle carbon tax revenue into a jobs-rich energy efficiency programme, rather than deepening our dependence on gas, where prices are set to keep rising.
"Going all-out for offshore wind, for example, instead would save £20bn by 2030, create 70,000 more jobs, and lead to both lower climate emissions and lower fuel bills.
"And with the new nuclear facility at Hinkley announced yesterday expected to come with a £14bn price tag, this Government should urgently think again before ploughing ahead with its deeply misguided nuclear strategy. For the cost of one nuclear reactor, it's estimated that 7 million households could be lifted out of fuel poverty.
"With the Joseph Rowntree Foundation warning that tax rises, welfare cuts, and wages freezes will push over 7 million children below the breadline in the next two years, it's scandalous that this millionaire Government is still so reluctant to make the richest in our society pay their fair share of tax.
"While millions across the country struggle to pay rising household bills, the Government is cutting tax for corporations like Amazon, Starbucks and Google – when they choose to pay it at all – to 25% next month, 23% by 2014 then 20% the year after.
"The General Anti Avoidance Rule announced today will not be enough to stop the tax dodgers, as the tax QCs Graham Aaronson who worked it up has admitted it will be "narrowly focused", and apply only to the "most egregious tax avoidance schemes".
"If the Government was really serious about cracking down on tax avoidance and evasion, including shutting down tax havens, it would have supported my Private Members Bill requiring all companies to publish what they earn.
Labour today welcomed the Government's decision to give the go-ahead for the first of a planned new generation of nuclear power plants in the UK.
Energy Secretary Ed Davey said the proposed 3,260 megawatt nuclear power station at Hinkley Point in Somerset would be built by French company EDF.
The decision also means EDF will be allowed to build rail and road networks to support the power station, as well as issue compulsory purchase orders on land needed for the project.
The news is a boost to the nuclear industry following a series of setbacks in plans to construct a new generation of reactors in the UK, which ministers say are needed to cut carbon and keep the lights on.
Shadow energy secretary Caroline Flint said she welcomed the decision.
She said: "Today's announcement is an important milestone in the development of new nuclear build in the UK. There is no doubt about that.
In his statement to the House of Commons, Mr Davey said the project would play an important role in ensuring a diverse supply of energy in the UK.
He said: "Affordable new nuclear will play a critical role and secure a diverse electricity supply for Britain and make a significant contribution to the transition to the low-carbon economy needed to tackle climate change.
Mr Davey said the project would create a workforce of up to 5,600 during construction, and contract opportunities in the supply chain.
There would also be a new by-pass road as well as a community package to compensate to people living in the area, he said.
Mr Davey told MPs: "I also recognise that as these works are carried out, those who live in the area may have their daily lives disrupted one way or another.
The new plant's two nuclear reactors would be capable of producing 7% of the UK's electricity, enough to power five million homes, EDF has said. It is thought the costs of the new power station would run to around £14 billion. A final investment decision by EDF to go ahead with construction still depends on the deal being negotiated with the Government on the "strike" price paid for electricity generated by the plant. Under electricity market reforms, low-carbon power such as nuclear reactors and offshore wind farms will have long-term contracts with a guaranteed price for their electricity, to give investors certainty to invest in projects with high capital costs.
Mr Davey said discussions on the strike price were ongoing, but he expected them to be concluded shortly.
Conservative Ian Liddell-Grainger (Bridgwater and West Somerset) declared it a "very good day for Britain" and a "phenomenally good day" for his constituency.
The decision, he said, meant the UK could "kick-start the civil nuclear programme".
Labour's Paul Flynn (Newport West) raised concerns about the long-term costs to taxpayers of the project.
He said: "Does the minister agree with himself as the Lib Dem spokesman when he said that nuclear power is only possible with a vast – his word – taxpayer subsidy or a rigged market? Does he agree with himself as a supporter of the Coalition Agreement that said there would be no subsidy on nuclear power?
Mr Davey said his concerns on nuclear power had related to price, acknowledging that the history of nuclear power showed it "has turned out to be expensive".
But he raised the issue of transmission from Hinkley through 450 kV cables, as opposed to the current 132, saying it would require electricity pylons more than twice the height of current ones.
Mr Davey replied he previously undertook to look into this issue during a meeting with Dr Fox.
Mr Davey said the decision today was purely about planning, but he said he did not recognise the figures.
He paid tribute to officials in helping to bring a "nuclear renaissance in the UK one big step closer".
Green MP Dr Caroline Lucas (Brighton, Pavilion) warned of the potential repercussions on energy prices.
She added: "The only two nuclear power stations under construction in Europe today are billions of pounds over budget and delayed by an ever increasing number of years. Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Denmark are all rejecting new nuclear, even France is aiming to reduce its reliance by 25%.
Around the world he argued there were many countries who were looking again at new nuclear.
Some insecticide products have been increasingly implicated in the decline of honeybees over the past decade, and there is serious concern that they pose unacceptable risk to wild bees and pollinators.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that of the 100 crop species that provide 90% of food worldwide, 71 are pollinated by bees.
Today, the Wales Green Party wrote a strongly worded letter on behalf of petitioners and bee-keepers to David Jones MP, Secretary of State for Wales asking that he urgently carries out his duty under provision of the 1980 Bees Act to protect bees, as well as ensure the UK does not fall foul of European law.
Pippa Bartolotti said, "There are more than 40,000 concerned people who urgently need to know what the position of the Secretary of State is on this matter, for the sake of bees and other pollinators, Ministers should have no qualms in making bee survival their top priority. We do not understand why the Minister is dragging his feet.
Research at the University of Sterling found that colonies of Buff-tailed bumblebees exposed to the neonicotinoid Imidacloprid, produced 85% fewer queens than control colonies. The success and survival of new bumblebee queens is essential to ensure the viability of future bumblebee populations.
Pesticide risk assessment requires tests on very few species including the honey bee, which are meant to be representative for invertebrates as a whole. Neonicotinoids are systemic insecticides that permeate the whole plant, and residues of some neonicointoids may remain in the soil for at least 2 years.
Last year, EFSA, the European Food Standards Agency, had identified significant flaws in regulatory risk assessment guidelines for testing pesticides on honey bees, and highlighted a need for consideration of wild bees within the regulatory system. Upon further investigation of three neonicotinoids, EFSA scientists identified areas of high risk to bees from flowering crops, as well as a number of data gaps that would have to be filled to allow further evaluation of the potential risks to bees from clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam.
On Thursday 21st February, Pippa Bartolotti, Leader of the Wales Green Party handed in a petition of 40,440 signatures to John Griffiths, Minister for Environment and Sustainable Development, asking him to outlaw the use and sale of neonicotinoid insecticides in Wales.
Caroline Lucas, MP for Brighton Pavilion, led the Opposition Day debate on the Government's bedroom tax policy in February together with MPs from Plaid Cymru and SNP.
"The eleventh hour decision to exempt foster carers and families with children in the armed forces from the new bedroom tax is a huge win for social justice – and a clear sign that the Government is beginning to recognise just how flawed and unfair this policy is.
"However, ministers should now go further and exempt disabled people too in order to protect the most vulnerable from losing their homes to this cruel and counterproductive measure.
Although he lost his seat on the borough, he remains a county councillor for Castle ward until the elections for the authority are held on May 2.
Writing on his blog today, 49-year-old Mr Clarke said: "In communities like the one I represent in Castle Ward, austerity and hard times are unfortunately no strangers, and we are better prepared than most to deal with the consequences of recession.
"We are people more likely to be sociable to our neighbours, more protective of the vulnerable, more likely to step in rather than stand aside when the time comes for us to act. Studies find that despite having the least, communities like ours are where you are most likely to find people more social, face to face, more likely to lend a few bob to an acquaintance outside of our family, more willing to befriend others rather than retreat into our own homes.
"From my vantage point as a councillor and MP representing the people of Castle Ward at all levels, I have learnt that true power, true control, can only ever come from within, and I am fed up of fighting against politico's for votes rather than fighting alongside the community for real change.
"I left the Labour Party, and then discovered that really it had left me, I have battled on as an Independent to try to make a difference for local people and have had some successes, but now it is time to truly give the power back to the people.
I have now joined the Green Party as a statement of my commitment to them, they in return have acknowledged my long standing political independence and agreed that we should now both campaign together locally under an "INDEPENDENT GREEN' banner.
The above video displays only one of the outcomes of the bedroom tax. People with two or more homes are stating that children with disabilities must share bedrooms with other siblings or their families will have benefit cuts. This effects the safety and health of any disabled child, their siblings and their family. It is also economically unworkable, the cost of moving families with disabled children and re-equipping homes with the most basic tools to allow even the minimum safety and mobility would be far greater than any saving made. Single parents, recently bereaved families and those with children away at university are also targeted in these cuts.
Green Party conference has called on the government to strongly regulate payday loans, which it called "modern day loan sharking".
Since 2008, the number and size of companies charging eye-watering levels of interest has exploded, with more and more individuals with poor credit scores taking out such loans.
Every year 1.2 million Britons turn to payday loans and £1.2 billion is borrowed, often at around 2500% interest a year. Citizens Advice is reporting that 10% of the people coming to it with debt problems now have payday loans*.
The Green Party is calling for the capping of short-term loan rates at reasonable levels linked to the Bank of England interest rate, and demanded that companies make sufficient credit checks, with the threat of severe penalties if they fail to comply.
Camden Green Party member Benali Hamdache, the motion`s proposer: said "The ethics and practices of payday loan companies are of grave concern.
"They are preying on people with poor credit ratings and precarious financial situations.

Known as the prince of Prints, the fashion designer Emilio Pucci got known for his tight shantung "Pucci pants" and vividly printed silk dresses and blouses. His colorful, informal uniforms for Braniff flight attendants were groundbreaking. Later, Pucci branched into men's fashions, perfume, and ceramics. He also served as a member of the Italian Parliament. His color trends and designs are one of KOKET's most lovable inspirations.
This sleek blend of an advanced robe, a conventional kimono and a legitimate coat has been a shockingly in vogue and all around acknowledged pattern since the previous summer. A fancier, single-shaded adaptation of a year ago's midriff length elegant gowns absolutely worth bringing down from the runways that it is administering this. They are slouchy, ample and lightweight. In spite of the fact that tossed in with these late spring trench coats, only for it, belts, particularly a medium-estimate obi belt, with a bunch in the side, can finish the look.
Halston's association with Jackie Kennedy was a crucial factor in his rising fame; she generally eschewed hats until she became charmed by Halston's distinctive pillbox styles during the Sixties. She wore one of his designs to the Presidential Inauguration in 1961; she was also wearing a pillbox hat (in pink) on the day her husband, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated.
"Floral dresses are a wardrobe staple no matter the season, and for autumn, they were back and bigger than ever, referencing the '40s and an homage to swing dancing in particular, with midi lengths as the key shape from the likes of Dries Van Noten, Miu Miu and Erdem," says Hsu. "Alessandra Rich remains a key favourite when it comes to her feminine and wearable floral dresses, which offer the perfect desk to dinner outfit worn with heeled boots. Satin was also key fabric this season, with a mix of high-neck and V-neck iterations."
Famous Italian fashion brands include Gucci, Armani, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Bottega Veneta, Roberto Cavalli, Costume National, Brunello Cucinelli, Diesel, Etro, Fay, Fendi, Salvatore Ferragamo, Fiorucci, Genny, Iceberg, Kiton, La Perla, Loro Piana, Marni, Missoni, Moncler, Moschino, Richmond, Ermanno Scervino, Tod's, Trussardi, and Versace.
Tastes differ. And when it comes to fashion, they differ even more. However, I've managed to come up with a list of top 5 fashion designers that can't leave any woman indifferent. They are adored by fashion artists and their regular customers all over the world, and their incredible, jaw-dropping collections speak for themselves. Check out the list of the most famous fashion designers of all time:
There is only one thing you need to create the gothic fashion style: BLACK. Everything about the gothic style is black, from black hair to black lips, black shirts to black boots. Women who wear gothic fashions will typically be seen wearing tight-fitting clothing, intricate black dresses, and tons of chains, spikes, studs, and other exotic accessory styles. The overall look is designed to say 'morbid' and 'mysterious', and that is easily accomplished with the super dark clothing and accessories from head to toe.


Andrew Ledvina used to be a data scientist at Facebook. He recently made the mistake of talking to a reporter about that, notably telling a WSJ reporter that when he was there from 2012 to 2014, there was no internal review board that might have had qualms about Facebook's now infamous emotion manipulation study, that he and other data scientists were allowed to run any test they wanted as long as it didn't annoy users, and that people working there get "desensitized" to the number of people included in their experiments as it's such a tiny percentage of Facebook's overall user base. Ledvina, like many a person quoted in the media, didn't like the way the reporter presented his words and so took to his blog to defend himself, Facebook, and the Facebook study -- but I think he simply dug a deeper hole for the company that he quit this April. He facetiously titled the blog, "10 Ways Facebook Is Actually The Devil," to needle those who see the study as evil, and then went on to confirm the WSJ's report and shed new light on how Facebook's data science team views users.
1. The Facebook emotion manipulation study didn't get vetted before it was run on users, but it likely did get vetted by Facebook's PR and legal team before it went into a scholarly journal; they apparently didn't think it would make people angry and result in a reported investigation in Europe and legal complaint with the FTC in the States.
Ledvina: "While I was at Facebook, there was no institutional review board that scrutinized the decision to run an experiment for internal purposes. Once someone had a result that they decided they wanted to submit for publication to a journal, there definitely was a back and forth with PR and legal over what could be published."
2. If you're on Facebook, you have definitely been a test subject at some point.
Ledvina: "Experiments are run on every user at some point in their tenure on the site..."
3. But you may have been a test subject in a very boring experiment.
4. This ex-employee of Facebook still doesn't understand why people are upset that Facebook researchers tried to see if they could upset people.
Ledvina: "The fundamental purpose of most people at Facebook working on data is to influence and alter people's moods and behaviour. They are doing it all the time to make you like stories more, to click on more ads, to spend more time on the site. This is just how a website works, everyone does this and everyone knows that everyone does this, I don't see why people are all up in arms over this thing all of a sudden."
5. Facebook researchers forget that what they're doing has an effect on the real live people that use Facebook.
Ledvina: "Every data scientist at Facebook that I have ever interacted with has been deeply passionate about making the lives of people using Facebook better, but with the pragmatic understanding that sometimes you need to hurt the experience for a small number of users to help make things better for 1+ billion others. That being said, all of this hubbub over 700k users like it is a large number of people is a bit strange coming from the inside where that is a very tiny fraction of the user base (less than 0.1%), and even that number is likely inflated to include a control group. It truly is easy to get desensitized to the fact that those are nearly 1M real people interacting with the site."
Ledvina expressed surprise that the experiment playing with the emotional content of users' News Feeds was getting so much play in the press while other Facebook research has been ignored. He pointed to an event last year, where Facebook researchers and academic researchers got together to talk about work done to see how "Facebook and social networks in general can be more compassionate," and prevent bullying particularly among teens. "I am a bit taken aback by the fact that the most recent paper has gotten as much press as it has, when the work done as part of the compassion research days has never been mentioned," he writes. "Some of these papers are based on experiments that influence people's behavior in similar ways, but I guess they do not have as much cachet for whatever reason."
I went ahead and watched the hours of presentations archived by Facebook from the "Compassion Research Day." There were a couple of key differences from the January 2012 manipulation study. First, none of the work done by the researchers aimed to make people feel worse. Secondly, the research on people's behavior was far less surreptitious. Thirdly, researchers didn't interfere with people's "natural" experience of the site beyond obvious (and some not-so obvious) prompts for feedback.
One of the videos about "new tools to understand people" doesn't have a presenter talking about trying to influence people's emotional state in a negative way and then measure it by monitoring their status updates. "We asked users, 'What are you trying to do? Why did you click that button?'" says the presenter. "We learned a lot from asking people for feedback."
This is a transparent way of "running tests" on users, presenting them with questions and asking them for feedback, a rather traditional approach to experimentation. Another presenter talked about measuring emotion by asking people to put "emoticon" faces on their status updates. Okay, Facebook users may not have realized they got these cute digital stickers for Facebook to measure their emotional states, but it's at least a translucent way of taking users' emotional temperature.
In trying to see how teens deal with stuff they don't like on the site, Facebook proactively asked the youngish ones how they felt when they flagged something they didn't like. That's a far more aboveboard approach than the one taken by the Facebook data scientist in the 2012 emotion study. The researchers were trying to find out why people get offended and how they resolve the issue, and giving them better tools to aid the process, which is all a far cry from turning the tone of News Feeds negative to see if it makes someone blue and turns them off using Facebook. The perhaps unexpected thing done by the 'compassion researchers' is collecting the messages Facebook users send to other users when asking them to take down an embarrassing photo or offensive post; they do this to try to understand why people object to content on the site.
Ledvina is pessimistic about the 'hubbub' over the study leading to any change at Facebook, though he makes very clear that he is an ex-employee who knows little about the inner workings at Facebook now. "The only thing I see changing from this is not whether similar experiments will be run, but rather [whether they will] be published," he writes, confirming the outcome that many commentators, including the New York Times' Farhad Manjoo, fear. "Similar experiments have been and will continue to be run, but you probably just won't see a paper about it anymore."

A recent blog post on the website Creating a Family shared the story of an adoptive mother who described herself as having been "blindsided" by the revelation that her adult adopted daughter had been building a relationship with her original mother over the years.
I started to leave a comment on the blog, but I had so much to say and so many conflicting emotions that I found myself stymied.
The adoptive mom describes herself and her husband as "full of fear and puzzlement," and her anguish stirs up something in me that is probably related to my own guilt, confusion, and sadness about why I hold back parts of myself from my adoptive parents, and sometimes also from others.
I'm not a therapist, a social worker, or a counselor of any kind. I've never been trained in psychology or psychiatry.
I am an adopted person, which means I was once an adopted child—which in turn means that I was separated from my original family. I was without any family at all for several months of my life. I am also a mother.
These experiences are the lens through which I viewed a recent video on HuffPost Live in which four adults who describe themselves as "adoptive parents" discussed the "reactive attachment disorder," aka RAD, of the children in their care.
The segment begins with Nancy Thomas, who I discovered is well known for her wrong-headed thinking on RAD. She helped her daughter deal with attachment issues by appearing with her in an HBO documentary. She calls herself a "therapeutic parenting specialist," though it's not clear whether she's had any more training than I have in this area. She comments that RAD kids are "affectionate with strangers but not with their mothers," conveniently ignoring the fact that the so-called "mothers" are, in fact, strangers to these children.
Two days sting me … the day of my mother's death (February 2) and Mother's Day (May).
Another Mother's Day. Adoptees struggle with this day. Some feel only loosely connected to their adoptive mothers; some feel the opposite and shun the idea of a first mother. Those who are connected with their first families must dance that delicate loyalty dance. Two mothers … two cards.
First mothers must struggle too. Like Philomena, they may grieve for their lost child. They are the childless mothers, the ones who gave birth but have no child to call or cuddle on that day. It's just a day, but notice the cards, the brunches, the flowers, the jewelry commercials.
The years since my mother's death have caused anxiety and grief on a day I would prefer to celebrate with my own children. The grief from her death has consumed me, but this year is different.


Can I ask a Gravity Forms question?
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask about plugins that aren't in the WPMU family, but this one's about Gravity Forms. If staff can't answer, can someone else with knowledge?
I'd like to allow my multisite subsites to process transactions on their sites and I'd like to be able to keep a portion of the transaction. So if the normal CC fee is 2.9%, I want to keep 2% on top of the CC fee. Does that make sense?
Can I accomplish this with Gravity Forms? Or is there another way?
You can easily do this with Gravity forms. Is something like this what you are looking at ?

This classic takeout favorite is so quick and easy to make at home you'll forget where you put the takeaway menu. Tender flank steak with crisp broccoli in a savory Chinese brown sauce with garlic and ginger, all made in well under 30 minutes. Plus I share my secret for getting the best and most tender beef at home.
If beef and broccoli is your favourite PF Changs or Panda express order then this quick stir fry is going to be your new favorite simple dinner.
Chinese has to be my favorite takeout! When I was a student I loved the Chinese buffet restaurants, but with limited funds I had to find alternatives. Whilst I was working nights as the room service waitress in a local hotel I was taught by the Chinese night cook how to make some of my favorite takeout foods at home. He had some great tips and I want to pass them all onto you! Firstly did you know that most of the takeout dishes we love aren't even true chinese dishes, they have been westernised to suit our palates and make heating up leftovers easier!!! Which leads us onto one of the most asked questions about cooking takeout style food at home.
Do you need a wok to make Beef and Broccoli?
The short answer is no, in fact I recommend using a large heavy based fry pan or skillet instead.
This is because standard kitchen stove tops cannot get as hot as the commercial kitchens our favourite takeaway has. So getting your chosen cooking pot as hot as they do in restaurants and takeaways is impossible. But we want to do everything we can to get as much heat into our stir fry as possible. So a flat bottomed fry pan/skillet will have the maximum amount of pan touching the burner and give you the best chance of a high heat.
I have a wok burner in the centre of my stove top, and that allows my wok to sit down into the flame. If you have something similar then that will work well too. But if you have a standard gas stove top or an electric burner then a fry pan could well be your best bet.
But do you get the authentic flavor using a skillet?
There are some dishes where a wok will give you a more authentic flavor, but these tend to be drier more traditional Chinese and Cantonese dishes. The saucy dishes that we are used to in takeout and chinese restaurants throughout the US and UK, are not as authentic, in fact you will struggle to find beef and broccoli on any menu in China! So cooking them in a skillet won't result in any loss of flavor.
What cut of beef is best for Chinese beef and broccoli?
I love to use flank steak or skirt steak in stir-frys. If prepared correctly the meat is so tender and just melts in your mouth. Check out my tips below for the most tender beef you have ever eaten!
You can use a rump steak, sirloin steak or even fillet. They will be delicious, but flank steak and skirt steak represent great value for money and can be so delicious and are easy to tenderize.
I have two tricks for making the meat super tender!
Number 1 – The trick to cutting flank steak/skirt steak (in fact ANY steak) is to find the way the grain of the meat runs and then cut across the grain. This allows the meat to just fall apart in your mouth.
If you cut with the grain you will end up with tougher strips of beef.
Check out the picture below for an easy visual, see how in the first picture you can see the lines in the meat. This is the grain, and we want to cut across that, as shown in the second photo.
Number 2 – The key to softening and tenderizing the meat before you cook it is so simple. This is a trick I learnt back in my waitressing days.
If you sprinkle meat with Baking Soda (also called Bicarb, Bicarbonate of Soda and Sodium Bicarbonate) it will break down the fibres and become so tender.
To do this you sprinkle just a small amount of baking soda over the meat and then stir to coat.
Then let the meat sit for 15 minutes before washing really well to remove the baking soda.
The meat will change color and will be so tender!
Pat it dry before you fry it to ensure it gets nice and crisp and doesn't sweat as you cook it.
How do you make that savory sauce taste like a takeout?
The key is to use authentic ingredients.
Chinese Cooking Wine/Chinese Rice Wine – not to mistaken for rice wine vinegar!!! You can sub in dry sherry if you like.
Sesame oil – easy to find in grocery stores now.
Look at the glossy gorgeous sauce on the takeout style Chinese Beef and Broccoli. It is packed with flavor thanks to those authentic ingredients and it really does taste just like your favorite takeout!
Prepare your broccoli, garlic and ginger before you start cooking. Chinese stir frying is quick cooking so you need everything prepped and ready.
Don't let the broccoli or the beef cook for too long, you want everything to be crisp and just cooked.
For a truely authentic flavor invest in the ingredients and sauces. It will make ALL the difference.

If you love food why not subscribe to my newsletter, I will drop you an email every now and then, just to say hi and send you a couple of recipes I think you might love, like this Takeout Style Chinese Beef and Broccoli.
I am sure you will master this one, the method looks quite long but it is quite simple.
I am so sad this recipe didn't turn out. I even went the extra mile and purchased the flank steak. Followed all the steps including the baking powder and the steak was just a chewy mess. Couldn't even eat 🙁 very disappointing.
Hi Mindy, I am so sorry to read this.
I think the problem is that you used baking powder. Baking powder won't tenderise the meat and will make it taste different. The recipe needs baking soda.
This baking soda is what tenderises the meat and stops it being chewy, it does need to be rinsed off really well as it doesn't taste great and it will fizz with the sauce if any traces remain. Then the beef needs to be dried off so you can stir fry it for a minute to get a nice crispy edge to it.
I love your tips on how to get beef nice and tender and going to try it next time I cook beef. Beef and broccoli is one of my favorite Chinese dishes so this will be getting a workout in my kitchen very soon.
This is one of our favorite take out choices, and this recipe Does NOT disappoint! So good.
I am sorry to hear that Lyn, I like to recreate the taste of the takeout and I find their sauces tend to have a sweet edge.


Can one writer freely borrow someone else's wacky historical speculations? Say a historian publishes the idea that Lyndon Johnson is a space alien who killed John F. Kennedy. Are you free to make a movie about it? The right answer, as perhaps Oliver Stone would testify, is that the nature of the claim matters.
Part of me wonders if Brown will ever be out of the news.
Dr. Lessig answers questions from the audience. The sticker on his computer says "free culture." Indeed. Set her free.
I will claim ignorance and admit that I had never really heard of Lawrence Lessig before except on the periphery of conversations. Now that I have actually heard him speak, I wonder what hole I have been living in to have missed him.
This post is a sum of his talk at the University of Houston on February 24, 2006.
Dr. Lessig has a sticker on his Apple computer that says "free culture" and he has a unique Power Point style that was fun to watch.
There are two competing cultures in our times, the "Read Only" culture and the "Read Write" culture.
The RO is defined by the right to buy and consume content produced elsewhere. The largest example of this is, of course, iTunes. Amazon has recently released a Pay Per Page and other vendors have Pay Per Read options. This culture allows copyright owners to define how people consume their products. Soon, everything will always be available to buy for a price and copyright supports this perfect control.
But people buy, sell, trade, and consume outside of this model all the time when they buy, sell, trade, and read books in real space. Copyright does not dictate how people consume physical books in "real" space because it is not logical to do so. In conjunction, it is not logical to apply certain copyright restrictions to online information.
In the internet culture, every use becomes a copy because the platform is different; the internet has created the Read Write culture. The law only supports the Read Only culture and DRM (digital rights management). The RW culture begs for creativity to be expressed differently. It shifts the power of expression to anyone with a computer. Remix is nothing new and has always been present in society because people have always been producing, sharing and consuming culture. Literacy in the digital age requires tools that involve more than text. Under the copyright laws today, the RW culture is illegal. The existing system demands permission and it is not coming.
This conflict should be important to academics because we can influence scholarly publishing and the way the upcoming generation views publishing and copyright. We can spread the use of the Creative Commons License.
Copyright in the digital age is something that we, not as librarians, but as consumers of which we should be intensely aware. This subject effects many aspects of our daily lives so why are we not talking about it? The conversation, as Dr. Lessig pointed out, is controlled by the record companies and publishing industry because they are the ones with the money. In our society and government, the only people who get heard every day and in the governemnt are the ones with money.
What more can we do besides spreading the Creative Commons love?

Democrats Hope This 30-Year-Old Can Win A Republican House Seat In Georgia
outside your bubble
Jon Ossoff is in the lead heading into Tuesday night's special election for a Republican House seat, but it's unclear if he can avoid a runoff and provide Democrats with hope in the Trump era.
By Alexis Levinson
Alexis Levinson BuzzFeed News Reporter

John Bazemore / AP
The Democratic candidate for Georgia's 6th Congressional District, Jon Ossoff
WASHINGTON — On Tuesday night, Democrats will find out if the opposition to Donald Trump that has electrified the left since November can be converted into actual electoral results.
All eyes are on the special election in Georgia's 6th Congressional District, where Democrats see an opportunity to flip a seat that has been in Republican hands for decades. Jon Ossoff, a 30-year old, previously unknown documentary filmmaker, has become a lightning rod for the excitement and anger that has been building since the election in November, and an outlet for Democrats looking for a way to make a statement. Ossoff has drawn national attention and raised a record-setting $8.3 million (largely from outside of the district, which lies in the suburbs just north of Atlanta).
The big question: Can that energy propel Ossoff to a victory with more than 50% of the vote in an 18-candidate all-party primary on Tuesday? Or will he fall short, and be forced to compete in a June runoff?
Tuesday's "jungle primary" puts all the candidates — 11 Republicans, five Democrats, and two independents — on a single ballot. If no candidate wins a majority of the vote Tuesday, the top two candidates will head into a runoff. Many Democrats believe Ossoff's best chance at winning this Republican seat is to do so outright on Tuesday while Republican support remains fractured between several candidates. A one-on-one race between Ossoff and an as-yet unnamed Republican candidate in a longtime Republican district could be a much bigger hurdle for Democrats.
Last week was the first big test for the Democratic Party in the Trump era in a special election in Kansas, but the Georgia race looks to be the more realistic opportunity for the party. In Kansas's 4th District, which Trump won by 27% in November, a Democratic candidate held Republican Ron Estes to a mere seven-point victory. That close loss emboldened Democrats heading into the Georgia race, which is playing out on much more hospitable turf. Republicans have represented the district since Newt Gingrich won it in 1978. But Trump's margin of victory there in November was a single percentage point, giving Democrats hope that the well-educated, suburban district could swing to the left this time around.
National Democrats stayed out of the Kansas race — spending only a nominal amount on get out the vote efforts in the final weekend — believing that an actual win there was a pipe dream. But their imprint is more evident in Georgia, where they see a shot at victory. They have spent money on radio ads and mailers and have had staff on the ground since the start of the race. But with Ossoff's huge fundraising from small donors across the country, the party hasn't needed to spend on television ads to keep him competitive.
Ossoff, himself, has had to walk a fine line. Nationally, he has come to embody the hopes of Trump antagonists. But locally, he is a Democrat running in a Republican district in Georgia, a state that voted out the last remaining white Democrat in its congressional delegation in 2014. To win, either Tuesday or in a runoff, he has had to speak to voters who, even if they have become disenchanted with Trump, have a long history of voting Republican.
Republicans, meanwhile, have spent millions to prevent Ossoff from breaking 50 percent, tying him to Democratic bogeymen like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and attacking him for living outside the borders of the district he is running to represent. But the enthusiasm for Ossoff has gone largely unmatched on the Republican side, where allegiances are split between 11 candidates vying for the distant second place that will give them a spot in the runoff and the opportunity to take on Ossoff one-on-one.
Several candidates have emerged in the top tier on the GOP side. Former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel, who is well-known in the district after having served on the Fulton County Commission, entered the race as the Republican frontrunner, as short-turnaround special elections tend to reward candidates with the highest name recognition. Bob Gray, a businessman, is also in contention, boosted by support from the Club for Growth, which has been running television ads for him. Dan Moody, a businessman and former state senator, has put almost $2 million of his own money into his campaign to put himself into contention. And Judson Hill, a former state senator who represented part of the congressional district locally, also entered the race with the benefit of high name recognition and Gingrich's endorsement.
Republicans, speaking of the contours of the race, cheer their deep bench, a byproduct of the fact that the district has been safely in Republican hands for almost 40 years. But the scattered field has proved a liability for Republicans — splitting support as Democrats coalesced behind Ossoff, making it possible for him to break 50%.
"The fact that we've got so many candidates in the race makes it harder for any one candidate to really step out there," former Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss told BuzzFeed News.
Republicans say that in a runoff, with all their resources and support coalesced behind a single candidate, they would have an advantage in a district that they believe remains fundamentally Republican.
In the interim, unwillingness to take sides has left some of the party's big hitters on the sidelines. Outside Republican groups, like the National Republican Congressional Committee and the Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC closely aligned with House Republican leadership, have spent their money attacking Ossoff and urging voters to vote Republican — a less compelling message without a specific candidate to name. And Sen. Johnny Isakson, the popular senior senator from Georgia, has opted not to get involved at all (Sen. David Perdue endorsed Moody and former Sen. Saxby Chambliss backed Handel).
And whereas the Kansas race drew high profile Republican boosters, with Trump and Vice President Mike Pence recording robo-calls, and Sen. Ted Cruz flying out for a rally, big national names have largely stay out of the Georgia race as well. Trump on Monday waded into the race for the first time, tweeting a swipe at Ossoff that didn't mention any of the GOP candidates.
"The super Liberal Democrat in the Georgia Congressioal [sic] race tomorrow wants to protect criminals, allow illegal immigration, and raise taxes!" the president tweeted Monday morning.
Trump's relative absence so far in the campaign might change in a runoff; the president is scheduled to attend the NRA annual meeting in Atlanta at the end of the month.
If the race does head to a runoff, Ossoff may have to avoid incoming fire from his own party as well as from the Republicans. In a period when certain elements on the left are increasingly focused on ideological purity, some are already girding for a runoff message that could fall afoul of liberal orthodoxies.
"He's shown us that he's a true Georgia Democrat. But while running in a Republican district, he's got to be able to not only get Democrats to vote for him, he's also got to be able to get Republicans," Tharon Johnson, a Georgia Democratic consultant, told BuzzFeed News.
In the event of a runoff, Johnson said, "we as Democrats have got to understand that when Jon's campaign decides to make a pivot, we must continue to support him even more than we did on Tuesday."
Other perspectives on this story
1 Ossoff's youth and lack of political experience has some people skeptical of his chances in a traditional Republican district.
2 While others believe that is a selling point for the candidate.
3 People don't think much of his chances of winning outright in the primary, and believe a runoff will be very tight.
4 A lot of people think by the time the runoff rolls around, it'll be an easy win for Republicans.
5 Though some Ossoff supporters are cautiously optimistic about his chances in the runoff election.
6 People are impressed by the amount of money in this race, though not everyone sees that as a positive development.
One of the more colorful comments:
"Leave it to the Dems to nominate a documentary filmmaker in Georgia. What, they couldn't find an abortion doctor?"
"Congress needs young blood who are more connected with the world and have fresh ideas to grow economy and bring prosperity to people"
@Prashan32729147
"The most likely outcome is that he'll get somewhere in the mid-40s tomorrow, and then the runoff will be a toss-up."
user/maestro876
"Yeah, OK, keep trying to hype this one up, but let's be honest with ourselves. Ossoff needs over 50% to avoid a runoff if he has any hope of winning this race. He won't get it. Whichever Republican faces off against him in round two will likely crush him. Don't get your hopes up."
"...I get what people saying, expecting all the voters who'd vote for a Republican to vote ANY Republican over a Democrat in the runoff, but that's only if they vote at all...people, in general, are less likely to come out and vote in the June runoff election...This could mean a low amount of Republican voters showing up to the polls against a very galvanized group of Ossoff supporters."
"But is it right that both sides are dumping millions of dollars of outside money; into what was supposed to be a local race? The idea is that people living in a district, have a voice in Washington; not the other way around."
