All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Policy will have the meaning given them in the Terms.
1. Suitability of Storage. You stipulate that Amplifier's current facility at 800 Interchange, Suite 102, Austin, Texas 78721 is suitable for storage of Client Inventory. You are aware that Amplifier's facility is not climate controlled and furthermore you agree not to hold Amplifier liable for any effect on Client Inventory related to environmental conditions in Amplifier's facility.
2. Inventory Disclaimers. Amplifier is not the importer of record for Client Inventory stored at Amplifier. At no time will title to any of Client's Inventory be deemed to pass to Amplifier. Amplifier is not the Merchant of Record for any of your inventory. Amplifier shall not be held liable for complying with your instructions through the Amplifier Services. You understand that Amplifier does not inspect your goods nor does Amplifier take responsibility for the business decisions that you make and implement through the Amplifier Services. Amplifier is also not liable for damage to Client Inventory caused by you or your representatives, and Amplifier is not responsible for breakage or loss of items during transit that have been picked and packed by Amplifier.
3. Risk of Loss. Except as otherwise stated in the Terms, your use of the Services to store Client Inventory is at your own risk and you agree that Amplifier will have no liability whatsoever for any loss or destruction of or damage to your Inventory or Amplifier's failure to perform the Services. You also waive the right to recover damages from Amplifier for any loss of use of the Client Inventory or loss of income therefrom. You acknowledge that Amplifier does not carry coverage to insure against any such loss or damage of Client Inventory and that securing such insurance coverage is your responsibility.
4. Storage Rate and SKU Support Rate. Amplifier will assess storage fees at the Storage Rate and SKU Support Rate as defined in The Pricing Page for Client Inventory, including partial pallets and shelved inventory, stored or housed by Amplifier. The layout and method of storage of Client Inventory will be set up at Amplifier's sole discretion to facilitate the Services described herein. You acknowledge that Amplifier is not intended to be a long-term storage solution for inventory or items that rarely move. If inventory sits in an Amplifier facility for one year (365 calendar days), you agree to the Long-term Storage Rate for that inventory, as outlined in the Pricing Page for such inventory.
5. Special Storage Requirements. If either you or a governmental or regulatory body imposes special restrictions regarding the storage of certain Client Inventory, you agree that Amplifier may increase its Standard Storage Rate with respect to such Client Inventory.
6. Limited Access to Inventory. Once inventory is received by Amplifier, such inventory is unavailable for inspection, exchange or pickup without an outbound shipment including handling fees. Amplifier facilities are not open to the public, and you are only permitted to visit any Amplifier warehouse per Amplifier's approval.
7. Disposal. Disposal of your merchandise may be subject to additional handling and fees, in general like a normal outbound order. However, inventory requiring inspection or inventory that needs additional handling prior to disposal may incur additional handling charges. Amplifier at its discretion may refuse to accept a disposal order. A sufficient available balance is needed to cover the cost of handling plus any additional fees. Storage and SKU fees will be assessed until all inventory is either disposed of or shipped out.
Less than 5% of total client inventory is currently estimated to be subject to Long Term Storage fees, it's not expected to materially impact most clients. Those subject to Long Term Storage fees will be notified with the total number of pallets subject to Long Term Storage fees. These changes will become effect September 1, 2016. In certain cases, Amplifier may elect to move inventory to another secure location for Long Term Storage. In such instances, the Inventory will still be visible inside the Amplifier platform, but retrieval may involve delays.
We strongly recommend exploring storage solutions such as FLEXE if you have more than 50 pallets of non-moving inventory.


Egypt's president is seeking to prolong his hold on power and extend his term to six years by amending the country's constitution, political sources have said.
Egypt, Sisi, presidential term, parliament, constitution.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is preparing to amend his country's constitution to extend his term as president to six years from the constitutionally mandated four years.
Sisi has appointed members of parliament to draw up the amendments, which will be voted on later this year by a House of Representatives dominated by pro-government supporters, according to political sources.
"Lawmakers close to the president have begun to prepare changes to the constitution, which will be presented to parliament during the next legislative session, beginning in September," the sources told The New Arab.
"The amendments are in essence aimed at extending the presidential term limit to six years instead of four," the sources said, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
They said that before the changes are officially announced the government will launch a large-scale media campaign in June to promote Sisi's ambitious mega-projects and achievements over his past two years in power.
"Government officials have advised Sisi that this will be a more appropriate time [to announce the changes] because the media campaign will re-establish his popular support, which has declined," they added.
In Article 140, the constitution states: "The President of the Republic shall be elected for a period of four calendar years, commencing from the day following the termination of the term of his predecessor. The President may only be re-elected once."
The current Egyptian constitution was passed by referendum in January 2014 in the first vote after former president Mohammad Morsi was overthrown by a military coup, following mass street protests against his rule.
Egypt's parliament is dominated by the "Support Egypt" coalition – an alliance of over 400 MPs loyal to Sisi – which endorsed hundreds of laws issued by the president's decree while he wielded legislative power, since the democratically elected chamber was dissolved in mid-2012.
Sisi took office in June 2014, nearly a year after he, as military chief, led the ousting of Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president and member of the now-banned Muslim Brotherhood.
Sisi has since overseen the arrest of thousands of Morsi supporters as well as scores of pro-democracy activists who fuelled the 2011 uprising against the 29-year rule of autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
Under his rule, many freedoms won as a result of the 2011 uprising have been eroded and a personality cult around Sisi has been built by supporters in the media.
Authorities have recently been cracking down on activists, journalists and rights lawyers following anti-government protests last month after Egypt surrendered control over two strategic Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia.
On Monday, police arrested four members of a satirical street performance group that mocked Sisi and his supporters in videos posted online.
Four members of the Egyptian satirical group, Street Children, have been arrested only days after a 19-year-old member was detained, as Sisi's government continues its crackdown on dissent.
Blog: The former British prime minister has visited the Egyptian president 13 times since the military coup which brought Sisi to power ousted Egypt's first democratically elected leader.

Op Ed: The Selfies
Normally I avoid straying into political territory in social situations and my online ramblings. More often than not, the combination of my slightly off-kilter views, propensity for personal mockery and three-cocktail minimum tends to ruffle the feathers of my dinner companions, and has even cost me the occasional friendship. And what's the point? It isn't as if my insights, no matter how razor sharp, are going to change anyone's position or worldview. No, I find it's best to just smile and nod when politics come up, then steer the conversation in a less contentious direction, such as whether Martha Stewart bathes in her own urine, chews broken glass for breakfast and transforms into something even more terrifying than her TV persona at the full moon.
So that's my policy. Or it was until the Weiner-Spitzer story picked up steam and I felt compelled to opine on the whole sordid, sorry mess. For what it's worth here's my two martinis' worth.
"One is a genius, the other is insane."
Do you have to be a narcissistic attention junkie with the scruples of a used car salesman and the professional standards of a carnival barker to run for political office these days? Maybe not, but apparently it helps. Given the steady stream of rehabilitation-flogging, forgiveness-demanding, scandal-tarred politicos seeking second chances from the voters they betrayed, not to mention their beleaguered families, what else makes sense? Not so much shameless as utterly unshameable, Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer want their redemption, and they want it now.
Of course, sex scandals are nothing new in government. There was Grover Cleveland in 1884; Wilbur Mills and the strippers in the mid Seventies; Marion Barry's 1990 'ho and crack fest ("Bitch set me up!" ring any bells?); Bill Clinton and his Oval Office shenanigans; and most recently Mark Sanford's infamous Appalachian Trail of Tears (and big fat lies).
In the current political climate it seems anyone can come back from almost anything. Except maybe trying to solicit gay sex in a men's room using sign language. An infringement on the Americans with Disabilities Act, perhaps?
Owing to a fortuitous special election, Sanford is well ahead of his fellow travelers on Redemption Road, but New Yorkers move fast, and Spitzer and Weiner have a lot more baggage to dump. These two, it seems to me, have more in common than non-standard sexual tastes, over-inflated balloon heads, no principles and wives who are way too good for them. There's a detectable whiff of narcissism about them both, though clearly Spitzer is the brighter of the two, The Brain to Weiner's Pinky, if you will.
As you no doubt recall, Spitzer, the former Big Stick of lower Broadway, was chased from the governor's mansion (presumably with his socks on) in 2008 after being identified as Client #9 in a prostitution sting. The long-married father of three somehow managed to avoid prosecution and hold on to his lovely, if bafflingly-loyal wife, and he is now running for New York City comptroller. He may even win. So let's break this down: New Yorkers are seriously considering handing the financial reins of the nation's biggest city and most powerful economic engine to a man with poor judgment, no impulse control and a pattern of aggression and lying. Sounds good to me. In fact, it sounds a lot like Anthony Weiner to me.
The flash of the camera phone in his face, the bleep of the sent selfie, and the illicit thrill of his naughtiness intoxicated his weak brain.
Weiner – the Mr. Toad of sexting – is asking the voters of New York City to make him Mayor Bloomberg's successor, despite his 2011 disgrace and a newly revealed phone sex relationship with a 22 year-old woman. Kind of puts a new spin on the notion of Bloomie's nanny state, doesn't it? See my comments above re: judgment, impulse control and lying. I can't imagine what's going on in his wife's mind, but as Kingsley Amis rightly observed, "Other people's priorities are endlessly odd."
By now, the other mayoral hopefuls have issued the standard calls for Weiner's withdrawal, most notably John Liu, the current city comptroller. He pointed out that Weiner's "propensity for pornographic selfies is a valid issue for voters."
Well there you have it. And so, despite his own scandal problems, Mr. Liu just got my vote purely on the basis of that observation. If the public can't expect accountability and integrity from its elected representatives, maybe we can get by on humor.

NYC gets what it deserves. Yes, it's been the first taste of America for endless emigrants, but once they settle in they become a$$hats. I live in Connecticut which is viewed by New Yorkers as a suburb. So I just want to sit back and laugh, maybe I'm a tad bitter..

Amazon.com buys Quidsi for US$545m
by John Kennedy
8 Nov 201031 Views
Web retail and cloud giant Amazon.com has signed an agreement to acquire e-commerce firm Quidsi, operator of sites like Diapers.com, Soap.com and BeautyBar.com.
"I'm not sure which is more unpleasant – changing diapers, paying too much for them, or running out of them," said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com.
"This acquisition brings together two companies who are committed to providing great prices and fast delivery to parents, making one of the chores of being a parent a little easier and less expensive."
Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by Quidsi's stockholders, Amazon will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Quidsi for about US$500m in cash, as adjusted for the assumption of options and warrants, and also assume about US$45m in debt and similar obligations. The acquisition is expected to close in December 2010.
Pioneering culture of innovation
"Amazon shares our commitment to the customer," said Marc Lore, co-founder, chief executive officer and chairman of Quidsi.
"We are excited to be part of a company that will help us to serve an even larger audience, and we will continue delivering unexpectedly great service that makes life a little easier – that is our mission."
Following the acquisition, Quidsi will continue to operate independently under its current leadership team. In addition to Diapers.com and Soap.com, Quidsi recently launched BeautyBar.com, a prestige beauty boutique.
"Amazon is a pioneer," said Vinit Bharara, co-founder and chief operating officer of Quidsi.
"Amazon is built on a culture of innovation and long-term vision. Quidsi is driven by these same core values, and we look forward to joining forces."

The Drop made the short trip across town to the Tea on the Green cafe/restaurant this week, and we were thoroughly impressed.
Nestled in the corner of the Cathedral green, the restaurant boasts spectacular views across the greens and the formidable Cathedral itself.
The place has a really cosy feel: it's almost as though you've entered someone's house as a warm and friendly atmosphere greets you. Tables are sprawled outside, and indoors there are two rather small floors with a windy staircase that wouldn't look out of place in Gryffindor common room.
We arrived knowing very little about the place. It was better this way, for we went with no stereotypes and no preconceptions of what to expect.
The first thing that's obvious is that particular care is taken to make the guests really feel at home, and with lots of family's and older couples enjoying their food there, it's really refreshing to get away from the hectic student lifestyle and into the sleepy tea on the green.
We met at 830am, a time that, firstly, should probably be made illegal to all students. But we quickly awoke from the hazy slumber when the food arrived.
We went for just two dishes: 'The Ulster Fry' with everything you'd want in a fry up and more, and something a bit different: scrambled eggs with smoked salmon.
The Tea on the Green prides itself on sourcing all of their ingredients locally, and this really sets it apart from its competitors.
The menu specifies which meats are locally sourced and they're always emphasising the quality of their meat: everything is free range.
The standard of food is impeccable, and whilst the only downside is that it's a little more expensive than the bog standard Weatherspoons, the phrase 'you get what you pay for' rings true here.
The tea isn't just about large fry ups though, they offer just about everything you could think of for breakfast, plus a full lunch and afternoon tea menu.
It's particularly popular with the more refined locals, who often like to visit the Tea on the Green just for a relaxed tea or coffee.
But whether it's a humongous fry-up you're after or just a relaxed tea overlooking the cathedral, this is the place for you.

Kościół św. Doroty w Harklowej – rzymskokatolicki neogotycki kościół parafialny, zbudowany w latach 1894–1896, znajdujący się w Harklowej.

W 1990 obiekt wpisany do rejestru zabytków.

Historia obiektu
Pierwszy kościół parafialny, zapewne drewniany, powstał na przełomie XIV i XV w. W 1860 tamtą świątynię zastąpił nowy budynek. Wybudowano mały drewniany jednonawowy kościół z przedsionkiem zbitym z desek i małą zakrystią. W 1889 kościół powiększono i zbudowano nowszą obszerną zakrystię. 21 lipca 1894 spłonął doszczętnie. Część wyposażenia uratowano, co umożliwiło wykorzystanie w kolejnym kościele. Murowaną świątynię zbudowano staraniem proboszcza Stanisława Hańskiego i ofiarności społeczeństwa w latach 1894–1896 według projektu Teodora Talowskiego. W budowie pomagali mieszkańcy okolicznych wsi: Głębokiej,
Kunowej, Osobnicy, Sławęcina i Wójtowej. Kościół został poświęcony w 1896. 9 lipca 1906 świątynię konsekrował przemyski biskup pomocniczy Karol Fischer. Drugi tytuł Niepokalanego Serca Najświętszej Maryi Panny kościół otrzymał w 1942. W 1959 polichromię wykonał Stanisław Szmuc. W latach 1965–1966 odnowiono ołtarze, chór oraz wstawiono witraże.

Architektura i wyposażenie
Jednonawowy obiekt w stylu neogotyckim zbudowano z cegły i ciosów kamiennych. Budowla na rzucie krzyża, którego boczne ramiona stanowią dwie kaplice, pierwotnie była pokryta dachówką, obecnie blachą.

We wnętrzu zachowały się trzy ołtarze oraz obraz Chrystusa na krzyżu w typie ikonograficznym Jezusa Milatyńskiego popularnego w czasie kontrreformacji. W barokowym ołtarzu głównym z drugiej połowy XVIII w. zamiennie z siedemnastowiecznym krucyfiksem prezentowany jest obraz św. Doroty noszący cechy malarstwa Bractwa św. Łukasza.

Otoczenie
Od strony zachodniej znajduje się murowana dzwonnica zbudowana w 1935 z dwoma dzwonami: jeden z 1594, drugi z czasów późniejszych. Dzwony w czasie wojny zabrali Niemcy. W 1960 konsekrowano nowe.

Image: WSL / Van Kirk
Location: Huntington Beach Pier, Huntington Beach, California
Event Window: July 25 – 31, 2016
Today's Call: Men's + Women's Pro Junior complete; Men's QS10,000 Round 5 complete
Conditions: 2 – 4 feet (0.5 – 1.5 metre)
HUNTINGTON BEACH, California/USA (Saturday, July 30, 2016) – Luis Diaz (CNY)and Caroline Marks (USA) have won the World Surf League (WSL) Vans US Open of Surfing Pro Junior in two-to-four foot (0.5 – 1.5 meter) conditions at the Huntington Beach Pier. In addition to the action that went down today, tomorrow will see world class performances with the WSL Samsung Galaxy Championship Tour women's Quarterfinals and the WSL Qualifying Series (QS) 10,000 men's Quarterfinals as both events are set for an exciting finish.
Hailing from the Canary Islands, Diaz captured the 2016 Men's Junior Title from the North American competitors with a brilliant performance over the talented field. Taking on Yuji Mori (JPN), Jake Marshall (USA), and Nolan Rapoza (USA), the 17-year-old could not believe he earned the win when coming out of the water. Though he will not earn points from this win because the event is out of his European region, it was a momentous milestone in his career.
"I'm so stoked, I really can't even believe I won," Diaz said. "Everyone has been shredding this whole competition and I just had to find the two waves that would allow me to surf to my best ability. I knew that 8.00 was going to be a good score even though it wasn't the best wave. I felt that I surfed it really well and I was so excited to get rewarded for it. Each heat I was gaining confidence, and to come out on top, there's just no better feeling."
Defending champion Caroline Marks (USA) retained her Vans US Open of Surfing Women's Junior Title in terrific fashion. Marks is the first to ever win back-to-back Junior Titles at this prestigious event. Getting off to a slow start, Marks made up for it with a massive finish and posted a solid 6.50 (out of a possible 10) and an excellent 7.50 on her final two rides.
"I'm speechless right now, I thought about what it'd be like to win this thing twice and it's just an amazing feeling," Marks said. "These girls are so good and I can't thank my parents and family enough for all their support. All my friends, and people shouting from the beach and the pier was so surreal. This is only the second event I've done this year so I'm hoping to get another big result at the next one and try to make it into the World Junior Championships."
With the Men and Women Juniors crowned, the Vans US Open of Surfing Men's QS10,000 ripped through their Round 5 heats and have Quarterfinal draws set with spectacular match-ups in store. Despite the challenging conditions, competitors showed why they are some of the best in the world with dominant performances.
Kanoa Igarashi (USA) made it back into the Quarterfinals over Conner Coffin (USA)using his local knowledge and picking off the best two waves in a star-studded match-up. The hometown hero looked to be in top form both mentally and physically as the heat progressed and maintained his lead throughout the thirty minutes. Capping off the heat with his last ride to solidify the win, Igarashi posted the best score in the heat as the clock dwindled down. Igarashi will face Bino Lopes (BRA) in the next round for an opportunity to advance to the Semifinals.
"It's super important to make good decisions and recognize what each wave has for scoring potential," Igarashi said. "I didn't see anything better than a six out there and kind of let Conner (Coffin) go on a few waves, but he's such an amazing surfer he could've easily gotten it. You're always trying to work out the numbers and percentages but I think I surfed a pretty smart heat."
"I love the pressure," Igarashi added. "It's just gives me that extra bit of confidence I don't get in other places with all my friends and family here supporting me. I'll be walking down the street and everyone's saying congrats, and good luck in my next heat — it fires me up. It's what really motivates to perform."
Sebastian Zietz (HAW) continued his reign over the lineup at the Huntington Beach Pier and posted another excellent 8.67. The Hawaiian had his strategy in place with the smaller conditions on offer and kept the momentum from yesterday's big win alive over the in-form Davey Cathels (AUS). The heat came down to the final seconds and Zietz was able to breathe a heavy sigh of relief after the horn sounded. Zietz will advance to the Quarterfinals, where he will try to defeat reigning WSL Champion Adriano de Souza (BRA).
"When the waves are really small, I feel like any type of drag can hinder you so I surfed without a leash to get any type of edge I could," Zietz said. "I almost didn't go on that eight-point wave because there were a few waves that were a bit bigger but that one had a little double up to it and anything that has a little bit of face you have to give a chance. It was just a game of waves out there, but I was tripping out when I heard the countdown and saw that last set come through. I thought Davey (Cathels) was going to get it but it ended up going my way."
2013 Vans US Open of Surfing Champion Filipe Toledo (BRA) found his way back into another finals day at Huntington Beach, California. The Brazilian native, San Clemente, California transplant felt at home in the lineup with such an impressive history at this event — winning both a QS and Junior Title in the past. Sticking to his signature, lightning fast surfing, Toledo had the crowd in attendance on their feet as he posted the highest heat score of the round, an impressive 14.67. Toledo will battle powerhouse and fellow CT competitor Michel Bourez (PYF) in the Quarterfinals.
"It's really dead low tide right now and slow and the waves are closing pretty fast," said Toledo. "There's some fun ones if you get lucky with priority and a set comes you just have to be on it. It was all about patience and trying not to fall so you could get the scores. It helps to not wear a leash so you can keep your speed up but you have to finish the wave, otherwise you'll lose your board, so it's a confidence builder for me to try and keep producing."
Rounding out an incredible draw, 17-year-old phenom Ethan Ewing (AUS) will take onRyan Callinan (AUS) in the opening heat of the Quarterfinals.
The Final day of competition will continue tomorrow morning, starting with the men's QS10,000 Quarterfinals at 8:00 a.m. local time followed by the women's Samsung Galaxy WSL Championship Tour Quarterfinals.

2 Leesville men charged in separate incidents
mgregory@thetowntalk.com, (318) 792-1807
Two Leesville men were arrested by the Vernon Parish Sheriff's Office last week in separate incidents, according to a release.
On Thursday, deputies stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation and a passenger, Caleb Morgan, provided false information about his identity, according to the release. Deputies still were able to identify Morgan, who had two outstanding warrants for distribution of meth.
Morgan was arrested and was booked into the Vernon Parish Jail. His bond was set at $50,000.
In the second incident, deputies responded to a home in the Rosepine area on a theft complaint. As the deputies were taking information about the theft of a gasoline can, Rosepine Police Department officers contacted them to say they had a suspect in custody.
The officers had stopped a vehicle with the suspect, Justin Phillip James, 33, of Leesville, and deputies responded to that location.
"During the course of speaking to James, he did admit to taking a gas can from a residence in the Rosepine area," reads the release. "Deputies were able to contact that homeowner and confirm that James was the individual responsible for the theft."
James was arrested and was booked into jail. He was charged with theft, criminal mischief, disturbing the peace and criminal trespassing. Bond hasn't been set, and James remains in jail.

As the midterm elections approaching fast, President Donald Trump appear to have one last tool to excite his supporters – the white nationalist and conservative movement. And he has proudly declared that he is a nationalist days ago, just in case you're wondering. But what he plans to do next will make his supporters go wild. He's going to terminate birthright citizenship.
"We're the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. And it has to end," – Donald Trump said during an interview with Axios. However, according to NumbersUSA, there are 33 nations that grant citizenship to anyone born within their borders.
But how does Trump plan to do that? The 14th Amendment to the Constitution says – "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Apparently the U.S. president has a magic wand – the "Executive Order".
Trump's plan to bulldoze the Constitution with his executive order would definitely trigger another constitutional standoff. Critics have argued, even laughed at Trump, that it's not within the president's power to change birthright citizenship. But the president doesn't care as he continues to push a hard anti-immigration line ahead of next week's midterm elections.
President Trump claims that he has discussed the move with his legal counsel and believes it can be accomplished with executive action, a view at odds with the opinions of many legal scholars. Legal scholars have widely interpreted the 14th Amendment to mean that anyone born on American soil automatically becomes a natural-born citizen.
However, some other scholars have argued that the case for birthright citizenship is based on a misreading of the 14th Amendment, which was drafted in relation to former slaves following the US Civil War. Interestingly, the 14th Amendment, passed in 1868 to grant citizenship to former slaves, is one of the most heavily litigated provisions of the Constitution.
Since at least 1898, the Supreme Court has held that it grants citizenship to children of noncitizens. Hence, it's hard to imagine how Trump's executive order could suddenly emerge victorious. In a 19th-century case – United States v. Wong Kim Ark – the court ruled that a child of Chinese parents who was born in San Francisco was a U.S. citizen by virtue of his California birth.
James C. Ho, a conservative lawyer whom Trump appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit last year, wrote in a 2006 paper titled "Birthright Citizenship and the Original Understanding of the 14th Amendment" that any legislation that removed birthright citizenship would likely be voided by the nation's courts.
He wrote – "All three branches of our government – Congress, the courts, and the Executive Branch – agree that the Citizenship Clause applies to the children of aliens and citizens alike." But that doesn't mean Trump cannot try to poke the Constitution. After all, his intention has been political, not legal, in his latest stunt to go against foreign immigrants.
The truth is he would have a better success with his executive order to limit travel to the U.S. from a number of Muslim-majority countries, an idea hatched in his first year in office. But if Trump could not even get that done without tons of backlashes from the courts, it's a wishful thinking that his next executive order to remove birthright citizenship would have a better chance of success.
Adding salt to the injury, the birthright citizenship is protected and was further enshrined in an act of Congress, the 1866 Civil Rights Act. The Act was the first United States federal law to define citizenship and affirm that all citizens are equally protected by the law. Although it was vetoed by President Andrew Johnson, the legislation was passed by Congress with overwhelming two-thirds majority.
You appear to be quite an informed and savvy 'journalist' but it's interesting to note you're quite misinformed about Trump.
Switch off your CNN and MSNBC news channel and et all and you'll probably have a clearer view.
Trump, warts and all, is the best leader in the modern world to have surfaced. He's not bought and is aware of most things wrong that are going on. To me he's the best US President so far and he has the people's interest at heart.
Watch, the day he and Putin and Xi can get together and put all wars and hostilities behind there will be peace on Earth.
Right now, Trump is dismantling the globalists' goal to put in place a NWO – and that's a good thing.

Jericho is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Nassau County, New York, United States, on the North Shore of Long Island, approximately 29 miles (47 km) east of Midtown Manhattan. Its population was 13,567 as of the U.S. 2010 Census.
Located mainly in the Town of Oyster Bay with a small part in the Town of Hempstead, Jericho was part of the Robert Williams Plantation in 1648. The English families who settled in Jericho were, or soon became, Quakers, members of the Society of Friends. Many fled from persecution in England and in the New England Colonies. They sought a peaceful existence as farmers. The name of the area was changed in 1692 from Lusum to Jericho after the town in the Middle East near the Jordan River mentioned in the Bible as part of the Promised Land.
Elias Hicks married Jemima Seaman in 1771 and moved to her family's farm in Jericho, where he soon became a noted preacher of Quaker doctrine. All the Quakers suffered during the British occupation of Long Island in the Revolutionary War. The practice was to quarter troops in homes of residents, who had to provide room and board for them. The Quakers continued to protest the entire concept of war itself. After the war, peace returned to Jericho, and the neat farms and businesses began to prosper. A Friends Meeting house was built in 1788 in Jericho that is still used in the 21st century. A Quaker school was built in 1793, the Charity Society of Jericho and Westbury in 1794, and slavery was abolished in 1817, with Hicks' help.
Platt Rogers Spencer's Log Seminary in Jericho, New York
A post office was established in 1802, a cider mill in the mid-19th century, the first public elementary school in 1905, known as the Cedar Swamp School. Improvements to infrastructure were made with the founding of the Jericho Water District in 1923. As the population increased, a new elementary school was built in 1953 (Robert Seaman School), and a Volunteer Fire Department established in 1938. The population kept increasing until the last elementary schools in Jericho were built, the George A. Jackson Elementary School in 1957, the now closed Robert Williams School in 1961 and the Cantiague School in 1963. When the Village of Muttontown was incorporated, the cider mill was within the village limits. Because most Gold Coast villages wanted to remain business free areas, many do not have their own post offices or ZIP Codes. Therefore, Jericho Post Office which serves this area of Muttontown is displayed as the official USPS mailing address and leads to the misconception that the cider mill is in Jericho.

This disc is basically a mini version of your standard DVD. The miniDVD measures about 3 inches (8 cm) in diameter whereas a standard DVD measures 4.75 inches (12 cm) in diameter. MiniDVD's are used primarily in miniDVD camcorders. The camcorders record directly to these discs. Typically the discs hold about 30 minutes worth of video.
The number one issue with these discs is that people are not aware that these discs need to be finalized before they can be removed from the camcorder and used in other players. The discs will play-back fine in the camcorder, but if they are not finalized in the camcorder they will not play back in any other machine. It is strongly recommended that be finalized in the original camcorder or finalization may not work.
Another issue we have found common with these discs is corruption. Of every 10 discs that we transferred, one will be corrupt and not readable or not able to finalize.
Many of the discs we found have drop outs where certain areas of the disc cannot be read. We've found that 50 to 60% of the discs have a least one read error and maybe more.
Corrupt discs: We have been successful in recovering at least most of every corrupt disc that we've transferred. This process is however very time intensive.
Not finalized: We had customers that have non-finalized miniDVD's and cannot get the original camcorder to finalize the disc, some have borrowed the camcorder and cannot get it again, and for some the camcorder is broken. Whatever the reason, we can extract all the video and audio information from the disc and create a new DVD.
We can transfer the miniDVD to a standard DVD.

April 22nd, 2015 -Elisa and Tanya's Yellowstone Road Trip
Buffalos & Bears, Oh My!
Hey there!!! Happy Hump Day from Yellowstone!!
This trip just keeps getting better and better!
Yesterday was a touring-packed day through Yellowstone. We got a bit of a late start due to tremendous and annoying Internet problem. The wifi truly stinks here!
Once again we all packed in the car and headed out with our cameras, snacks and packed lunches. I was driving with Tanya riding shotgun - the girls in the second row and the guys in the last row. A full trunk of food, jackets and incidentals - and we were set!
Entering through the West entrance of the park took us back into Wyoming, which was kinda cool to be going back and forth between Wyoming and Montana.
As luck would have it, last week was National Parks Week and entrance was free to National Parks across the country, so we did not have to pay for Grand Teton.
However, this week, admission costs were once again in effect. No biggie really - $25 for seven days, which entitles entrance to both Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Of course we are not going back to Grand Teton during this trip, but for those individuals traveling out this way, this is good information to know.
Our first stop for the day was Gibbon Falls. So beautiful and the sound of the water flowing over the rocks was peaceful and serene.
At Gibbon Falls
We had a bit of drama as we were about to take a group shot. Gianna has been so annoying as she insists on making ugly faces every time anyone takes her picture.
As I was yelling at her to smile, Kelsey proceeded to smack Gianna in the face. I was about to reprimand Kelsey but before I could, Gianna hauled off and whacked Kelsey across the face.
She hit her sister very hard that her face was all red and Kelsey was hysterical. I really didn't know who to be more angry with!! I have warned Kelsey so many times about hitting her sister because she is bigger than her and could hurt her if Gianna does hit her back. Lesson learned ... I hope.
A few salt and vinegar potato chips later and Kelsey was smiling away!
Continuing our drive through the park, our next stop was Mammouth Hot Springs. I really don't know how to describe this incredible natural phenomenon. The entire area felt somewhat surreal, with the different colors of the landscape, the steam coming up from the earth and the smell in the air.
At Mammouth Hot Springs
Now, this area is known for a distinct sulfur smell. But, I have to tell you, I am generally very sensitive to smells, particularly bad ones. However, while everyone was catching a disgusted whiff, I really was not noticing it and was far from bothered.
Headed into Mammouth town visitor center we couldn't believe the view before us - a herd of buffalo just hanging out on the lawn. It was just so cool to see these wild beasts in a town setting.
From here we traveled five miles toward the north entrance of the park to see the Theodore Roosevelt arch. Teddy himself laid the cornerstone of this entrance arch back in 1903 as he was one of the biggest proponents of protecting wildlife and very instrumental in the formation of our national parks.
Cornerstone of the Theodore Roosevelt Arch at Yellowstone National Park
Tanya and I got a little loopy by the end of the day and had a blast taking photos at the arch with the help of Dominic, our photographer.
This was our last attraction at the park but as we turned around to go back into the park so we could exit and head home, we spotted the "Welcome to Yellowstone" sign! Of course this was a photo op Tanya and I could not pass up!! So we snapped and video taped away
That was pretty much the end of our day ....until... two incredible sightings occurred as we were driving to exit the park. We came upon a park ranger and a few cars pulled over to the site of the road, peering up into the side of the hills. Whenever the rangers are set up like this, it usually means, there is a bear nearby.
Sure enough, as we joined the crowd, we were told there was a mama bear and her cub walking about way up in the hills. This was just so exciting!!! She was so far away, and although everyone in our group snapped away, the images we captured were not terribly good. Tanya probably got the best shot of the bears - take a look on the other side.
---->>>>---->>>>---->>>>
If that wasn't the coolest thing all day - as we approached Madison Lake, near the the West entrance, we caught a glimpse of several buffalo making their way into the water to swim across! We had seen so many buffalo in the past two days that we were a little numb to them, but this was something totally different!!
I am so sorry we are having so much trouble uploading our photos and Vlogs from our apartment rental here in West Yellowstone :-(
We do promise to upload everything for your viewing pleasure to our Cousins Yellowstone Road Trip Page once we are able to do so.
Off to Yellowstone again!! More later!
Heading back into Yellowstone
Howdy All!
Happy Earth Day 2015 to you!
And let's not forget that it's W2GW (Where to Go Wednesday)!!
It's our second day at West Yellowstone, Montana and we'll be heading back into the park for some more awe inspiring scenery and purely majestic views.
How totally cool to spend Earth Day at this very special National Park!
See down below to find out what's on today agenda!
Gibbon Falls
On our first day in the park we managed to make only two stops (it was so difficult not to make several) before arriving at our first "planned" stop of Mammoth Hot Springs, which I had previously warned Cosette about the strong smell (stink) of sulfur.
Yet once the girlies had exited the vehicle half of their faces were covered and Cosette was even gagging - so much like her Mumsy (ME)!
Anyhow, we had all found the odor quite offensive and foul…
All except for my dear cousin Elisa!
She couldn't smell the majority of the stink!
I thinks me cousin might have something wrong with her sniffer! LOL
Upper Terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs
So, while we were there, I had explained to our gang much of the unique geothermal features that can only be found at Yellowstone National Park.
We had even got it on video - but because of the LAME-O wifi here, we are unable to currently upload the video. Boo
*Please check back on the Cousins Yellowstone Road Trip page after we return from our trip.
NOW - check out ELISA'S SIDE for the SCOOP on the next few stops that we made...
While touring the park from the west entrance to Madison, to Norris, to Mammoth Hot Spring, to the Roosevelt Arch and then back we caught glimpses of several wild animals -
which always excites me!
There were buffalo galore, elks, an array of beautiful birds and last but certainly not least a Momma Grizzly and her cub!!!
You could imagine my excitement when I saw the park ranger at the side of the road and the few other park visitors with cameras in hand.
I had alerted Elisa as to what was going on, she pulled over and in a hurry I gathered my binoculars, fitted the camera with the proper lens, and then jumped out of the vehicle and quickly located the 2 adorable (from afar) bears! Yay!
Zoomed in!
Same photo - digitally zoomed even closer!
So obviously you know where we are on W2GW, here are a few ideas on where you could go:

-The Upper and Lower Falls of Yellowstone - Upper Falls: 109 ft.; Lower Falls: 308 ft

3,472 square miles or 8,987 square km - 2,221,766 acres or 898,317 hectares
It is the second largest national park in the contiguous 48 United States; Death Valley National Park is larger.
96 % in Wyoming - 3 % in Montana - 1 % in Idaho
Yellowstone National Park was established on March 1, 1872, 20 years before Montana, Idaho and Wyoming were granted statehood.

Approximately 5% of park is covered by water; 15% is grassland; and 80% is forest.
Yellowstone Lake is the largest high-altitude lake in North America.
It is the only place in the world where wild bison (buffalo) have survived continuously since primitive times.
Yellowstone National Park has approximately 2000 earthquakes yearly.
Precipitation ranges from 10 inches (26 cm) at the north boundary to 80 inches (205 cm) in the southwest corner.

We tend to wear stress as a badge of honor in our modern culture, except that it has been shown to be an underlying issue that negatively impacts so many different areas in our lives.
When you feel stress, your body tenses up. Your facial muscles tighten. Your breathing becomes more shallow.
Over time, this ends up causing chronic stress and with it often comes… chronic pain.
To get a better sense for how this works, imagine holding a tight fist (you can even try it right now).
If you hold it for 20 seconds and release, no big deal. But if you trying holding it for an hour, your hand will likely be in so much pain you'll struggle to open it.
That's what happens with stress in the body. The longer you hold it, the more your body tightens and the more pain you feel.
The good news is, Tapping has been scientifically proven to stop the stress response, allowing the mind and body to relax and go into a state of healing.
Just think about that fist releasing. Once it relaxes, it gets the chance to loosen up and the body will naturally heal it, allowing it to move normally again.
If you're feeling pain in your body and want to start the tapping meditation on releasing anxiety in The Tapping Solution App, go here to do that now.
Whenever you're feeling stress, the amygdala in your brain fires. The amygdala is best known as the brain's fear center.
Whenever you are feeling stressed, the "flight, fight, or freeze" response is triggered, alerting other parts of the brain and body that it senses danger.
The challenge is that today, whenever our fight, flight, or freeze response is triggered, the prefrontal cortex, which is the more modern part of our brain that is responsible for logic, reason, and decision making, is limited.
An example of this is when you think of one of the most common fears people have… speaking in public!
Very often when people have to speak in public, they tense up as their fight, flight, or freeze response is triggered and they're unable to remember what to say. That's because their prefrontal cortex is literally going offline.
So ANY stress that you feel, limits your brain's ability to think, remember, and make decisions. The more stressed you feel, and the more often you feel it, the more limited your thinking is.
The good news is that with Tapping… you can release the stress and bring the prefrontal cortex back online.
So essentially the more you tap, the more you release stress… and the better you think.
Remember how I mentioned above about the fight, flight, or freeze response?
When that part of your brain is triggered, how safe do you think you likely feel?
If you're not sure, try to think back to a time when a friend or family member jumped out at you from behind a corner and scared you.
Think about the worst time that this happened. Can you remember? What did you do after that? You likely tiptoed around every corner worried that it would happen again. And you probably didn't trust that person again for a while… lol!
The same happens when we feel stress in our lives. It limits our ability to feel safe and to move forward.
If you feel stressed thinking about speaking up at work, how likely are you to do it? If you feel stress thinking about asking somebody out, how likely are you to do it? If you feel stress when you think about people seeing you try to work out at a gym, how likely are you to do it?
Not likely on all those things.
When we release stress by tapping, we end up feeling safer to do the things in our lives that we know are going to propel us forward in creating a life we love.
If you're ready to tap to release stress so that you can have more courage to create the life that you want, go here to tap along with the Releasing Anxiety meditation.
But now… it's your turn to tap!
It's your turn to FEEL the difference for yourself. Just go here to tap in the app on Releasing Anxiety.
As you'll see in the app, if you haven't tried it yet, users rate their anxiety level before and after the Tapping Meditation. And based on 35,000 sessions thus far… anxiety has been released by an average of 40% during the 9-minute session.
Remember, the process of tapping while speaking or thinking through the challenge you're facing has been shown to literally "turn off" the amygdala.
It disrupts the stress response and allows the brain synapses to be rewired for a more appropriate emotional response to a given situation.
How did this tapping meditation work for you? Comment Below!
Thank you Nick for this wonderful article. Stress (or better anxiety) is a huge factor in my life right now. I'm glad I do have your app already and the tappings on anxiety there are very, very effective. I recomend them for everybody! Thank you for all you do!


I just love my T-L because it's so maintenance-free, the other selling point for me is that there are very few electrical components and nothing to get electrocuted by.
At 66 years of age, Rod Ronspies doesn't have grand ambitions of expanding the size of his farm or owning the newest and biggest equipment. Instead, he prefers to wisely manage what he has, including the 1,100 acres of rolling farmland he owns near Osmond, Nebraska. Plus, it leaves him more time to enjoy a variety of hobbies that include motorcycles, airplanes and antique tractors.
"I love trees, though" he insists. "I plant about 800 of them every other year. I've got them on the field edges, pivot corners, waterways and about anywhere else I can put them. I want the wildlife to be happy," he relates.
That doesn't mean that Ronspies isn't serious about farming, though. In the six decades he has lived on the family farm, he has seen yields nearly double and the farm's acreage grow by more 800 acres.
Today, the farm is equally divided between corn and soybeans that is irrigated by a total of five center-pivot irrigation systems.
In the meantime, Ronspies has also changed the way he markets crops, having forward contracted his 2008 harvest for as much as $7 per bushel on corn, with soybeans going for even more.
To improve efficiency and enhance weed control, he has also added Roundup Ready(R) corn to the Roundup Ready soybeans he has planted for the past 10 to 12 years. He even owns two older Gleaner(R) rotary combines that are individually fitted with corn and bean heads so he doesn't have to switch headers.
"At my age, I like for things to be easy," he says. "But I like for them to be environmentally friendly, too. That's one reason I've even gone to splitting my fertilizer applications. By putting part of it on when I plant and knifing the rest in as sidedress fertilizer, I'm able to keep almost all of it on top where the plant can use it. The NRD shows that our well samples are almost as clean as bottled water." Ronspies might also be quick to add T-L center-pivot irrigation systems to his easy, yet environmentally friendly list.
Ronspies purchased his first T-L unit in 2005 when one of his original pivots succumbed to rust.
"I just love my T-L because it's so maintenance-free," he adds. "The other selling point for me is that there are very few electrical components and nothing to get electrocuted by, and that does happen to a few people each year," he adds. "In the next three to five years, I expect to replace all the electric units with T-L systems, even though I have electric motors on the wells. There's just nothing else like that hydraulic drive, especially when you're looking at $80 an hour or more to have an electrician come out to the farm to fix an electric-drive unit.

Lentils are real comfort food and terrifically nutritious. While they range in color from yellow and red to deep black, the mild brown variety is a natural with Nations Best® Corned Beef Tongue. Raise a glass of chilled cider to this warm, autumnal dish.
Melt the butter in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 15 minutes. Stir in the ham and lentils.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, by leaf, thyme and parsley and cover with 5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, until the lentils are tender but not mushy, about 40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Before serving, wrap the sliced Tongue in foil and warm through in a preheated 350 degrees F oven, about 25 minutes. Arrange the Tongue slices around the rim of a serving platter and spoon the lentils into the center. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

Effective 1201 Monday July 23rd, CP-LIBERTY at MP 3.1, CP-CHAPEL at MP 4.9, and a new controlled siding 9,500 feet in length will be placed in service on the National Docks Branch, enabling meets on the Branch as part of the ongoing Greenville Yard expansion.
Port Authority is paying for most of it. They are building another ship-to-rail container terminal there while improving the freightcar ferry service.
The doom and gloom relates mostly to conventional traffic. Sure, some of that is justified, but there's a certain base of industry that, provided decent service, is bound both to NJ and to rail (chemicals, lumber yards, stone yards, any sort of warehouse that receives heavy products, etc).
I also think it's wrong to rag on unconventional freight. IM, trash and the like have been the growth engine for NJ rail traffic over the last few decades, and in all likelihood will continue to be -- especially as PANAMAX expansion's and ship rerouting's effects are felt on container volumes at PANYNJ.

I hope my post wasn't misinterpreted. Far be it from me to rag on new sources of traffic. The world changes, you have to adapt. If we were still relying on anthracite to support NJ railroads, then we would really be in trouble.
Oh no misinterpretation! My apologies! I simply wished to respond to those opinions you alluded to.
Should be interesting to see what (if any) trains are created/where they go. The international IM landscape has changed dramatically over the past year or so.

I wonder if the majority of the new traffic from the Greeneville/National Docks/ExpressRail will be routed through Croxton or Oak Island.

Just spitballing here, but I'd assume that's gonna depend on the railroad -- CSX will send trains up to North Bergen/River Line, NS to OI and then Lehigh. That said, there's always the possibility the new terminal won't generate enough traffic to justify its own train(s), in which case I'd assume NS would route containers to Croxton for combination with other IM runs.
NS combines some of the traffic with Erail trains since it's right next door. Right now, they don't really run the National Docks at all except to occasionally shuffle cars around. The only reason they ever would run there is if they decided to run traffic north to Binghamton and Buffalo via Port Jervis as has long been rumored but never happened.

So all the traffic heading west from Coxton on the Lehigh line (or in the other direction) goes via the P&H?
Yes. Really the only traffic that uses the ND today is stuff that has to — moves to Bayonne and Greenville, and runs from the north to Oak Island or points along the Chemical Coast (and their equivalents in the other direction). Otherwise, it's an unnecessarily slow jughandle east on a largely single track line.
The amount of traffic on the line is actually pretty significant. I believe most of the CSX gen freights make stops at OI. All of the CSX port container traffic, autorack traffic and ethanol traffic take the route.
Per Trains News Wire, the new IM facility at Greenville is open. It seems NS has added some shuttles from Harrisburg to serve it (elsewhere it was said symbols were 242 and 243). Anything on the CSX side?

Back with a bang yes its the TBC NYE party after a short hiatus this year we return to Edinburgh's dance floors with a night thats packing some heat. Not only have we secured a very special venue to host this event, we truly have delivered on the connoisseurs front with some quality DJ's both local and international to make this night a special one.
Our past events have included artist such as Karizma, Dicky Trisco, ThatManMonkz, & The Revenge, and with this in mind we felt it was only right to stick to our guns and deliver in the only way we know. On that note flying in direct from Chicago we have DJ Rahaan considered as one of Chicago's true underground DJ's, crate digger's & producer.
Rahaan has been dropping disco and funky house beats to retro music heads since the early 80's his productions have found the way into many a DJ's sets over the years with a quality back catalogue of tracks on labels such as Lumberjacks In Hell, Editorial, 4th Floor & Classic Music Company, not to mention his own DJ skills and his legendary disco sets that have secured this man a very busy schedule personally we cant wait.
