Pack The Court Room In Solidarity With Dan And Spit
Last Monday, October 15, 2012, was the seventh anniversary of the anti-NSM riots in Toledo, Ohio as well as the last day for replies to preauthorization motion responses in the cases against Melissa Hack, Ross Hack, and Leland Jones (arrested in connection with the July 1998 murder of anti-racists Daniel Shersty and Lin "Spit" Newborn). This month is important for us in Anti-Racist Action (ARA) because it reminds of us our past victories as well as those we've lost.
In February, the Hacks and Leland Jones were indicted in Las Vegas. These three individuals comprise the second wave of arrests in connection with these murders. Melissa Hack is the ex-girlfriend of John "Polar Bear" Butler, tried and convicted in 2001 for his part in the murders, and the sister of Ross Hack. These names are not new to us. We've been aware of the Hack siblings involvement in the murder of our friends since 1998. So has the LVPD.
ARA is calling for antifa to pack the courtroom in support of Daniel Shersty and Lin "Spit" Newborn and their families at the trial of Melissa Hack, Ross Hack, and Leland Jones on November 1, 2013 in Las Vegas. Although we as a network do not seek justice via the cops or the courts, our presence there is important not only to let the Shersty and Newborn families know that their sons did not die in vain, but to show that antifascists are still here and will continue to be here fighting racism, fascism, and bigotry until we win.
The indictment of Melissa Hack, Ross Hack, and Leland Jones can be found here, and a portion of the complex case schedule can be found here.
Anti-Muslim Ads Appearing On CTA Buses
On Wednesday, November 14, a series of Islamophobic ads appeared on CTA buses. These ads, paid for by Pamela Geller's anti-Islam group American Freedom Defense Initiative, are similar to those that have sparked controversy in several other major U.S. cities.
How should this situation be dealt with?
As anti-authoritarians, and as folks who, to put it lightly, disregard law in the struggle against oppression, we do not seek for these ads to be removed via any legalistic means. Does this mean we think racism should be tolerated? Hell no. We wouldn't be angered in the least if the CTA refused to run these ads, however, we wish to see a different approach to challenging this Islamophobic propaganda. We would like to see a situation in which people were outraged enough that they would take it upon themselves to deface racist advertisements and silence organized bigots.
The racists, by law, can say whatever they want… but they should not be surprised if the people who wish not to live in a racist world do something about it. Folks like those who shut down a gathering of white supremacists in Tinley Park, IL, earlier this year understand this, and should be praised for engaging with the racists directly and not appealing to the state to intervene in their affairs. Reliance on the state weakens the ability of autonomous social movements to bring about the changes necessary to overthrow the rotten systems of white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism that we live under.
We see any attack by the state against any political faction, even ones we disagree with, as an attack that can be and has been already used against us. We see the state as our enemy just as we do the racists. It's up to us, anti-authoritarians, anti-capitalists, and anti-fascists, to defeat all forms of opposition to a class, free society and an end to white supremacy and patriarchy.

'Jihad' ads on CTA buses spark outrage
The controversial ads unveiled on the back of 10 CTA buses Wednesday read, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man." They conclude with the words, "Support Copts. Defeat Jihad," referring to friction between Muslims and Coptic Christians in Egypt.
Within hours of the buses' first runs, messages appeared on Facebook and Twitter denouncing the campaign. Many said degrading a spiritual tenet of Islam -- one that refers to a Muslim's personal quest to become a better person -- amounts to hate speech.
"This whole campaign insinuates Muslims are violent," said Asaf Bar-Tura, programs director for the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs, which protested the ads on social media Wednesday. "If it's within their legal powers, (CTA) should either not put it up because they incite hate and stereotypical thinking or put a label next to each sign saying `The CTA disagrees with this ad.' "
So far, federal judges have sided with the advertisement's sponsor, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, which sued transit authorities in New York City and Washington, D.C., when they initially rejected the ads. Those judges ruled that public forums such as buses and trains can't bar advertising entitled to First Amendment protection.
Pamela Geller, executive director of the initiative, said she believes the Jewish Council has good intentions, but denies that her ad qualifies as hate speech.
"There's nothing hateful about it," she said in an e-mail. "9/11 was hate. 3/11 in Madrid was hate. ... The Christmas underwear bomber was hate. ... Pushing back against such hate is not hate."
"Perhaps this is the strangest thing of all: their utter lack of awareness, or denial, of the barrel pointed straight between their eyes," Geller said. "It is an odd combination of naivete, brainwashing and self-loathing that I will never comprehend."
Although Geller posted on her blog "Atlas Shrugs" a letter from her lawyer threatening legal action against CTA if they didn't place the ads, Brian Steele, a spokesman for the CTA, denied that the CTA was threatened with a lawsuit. But the precedents did deter the CTA from rejecting the ads, which are expected to run on different routes each day for the next four weeks.
"While those courts agreed that the AFDI ads violate anti-disparagement or anti-demeaning standards similar to CTA's, that violation in and of itself did not remove AFDI's First Amendment protection to place the ads," Steele said in a statement.
"CTA understands that this ad may be offensive to our customers," he added. "While the courts have ruled this ad is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment, we object to its divisive message."
The estimated ad revenue is about $4,500, a spokesman said.
Meanwhile, Ahmed Rehab, the executive director of the Chicago chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations, said the group expects to launch its own nationwide ad campaign next week. As part of the campaign called "My Jihad," individual Muslims define what the spiritual concept means for them.
"I don't feel the urge to fight … I'd rather put out the alternative," Rehab said. "People can decide what racism is."
Nazis Show Up To Elie Wiesel Speaking Event In Chicago
On November 11th, Elie Wiesel, a writer, professor, and Holocaust survivor, held a discussion on "the importance of learning and memory" at the Symphony Center in Chicago. Much like Elies speech at Malcolm X college a few years back, neo-nazis protested and handed out literature. This time there were only three white supremacists, and it was not Bill White's American National Socialist Workers Party (ANSWP), nor any offshoot. The nazis in attendance, judging by the symbols on their clothes, appeared to be involved in either the Creativity Alliance (CA) or the Creativity Movement (TCM); the latest of several incarnations of the racist group (and religion) originally known as Church of the Creator (COTC). The Creativity Movement rose from the ashes of the World Church of the Creator (WCOTC), led by Matt Hale and based out of Peoria, IL.
Antifascists in Illinois have had a long history of battle against WCOTC. An intense history involving home demos against their members (such as Justin J Frogge, now a convicted pedophile living at 441 Hartwell St. Elkhorn, WI 53121), individual confrontation, and disruption of their events that often ended in combat.
Since Matt Hale (WCOTC leader or "Pontifex Maximus") was sentenced to 40 years for soliciting an undercover FBI informant to kill federal judge Joan Lefkow, both the CA and TCM have not been looking good. Prominent members of TCM such as Brian Moudry (who is now facing arson charges for burning down an African American neighbors house), and Micahel Eisenhauer, have left the organization and TCM has spent an abundance of time arguing with, and shit talking, the CA. Just earlier this year, south side ARA got Tim Nelson of TCM kicked out of his apartment on the northwest side.
The man desperately trying to hold it all together for TCM, is James Logsdon (1233 Holiday RD Bloomington, IL 61704, 309-830-9485), the one time leader of the the WCOTC security force known as the White Berets, and current Pontifex Maximus. He was convicted of reckless homicide in 1998 in which he was sentenced to six years. He was later convicted and released in 2010 after doing three months for a DUI and driving with a suspended license. Logsdon often holds meet and greet barbecues at his house for any and all white nationalists in the mid west who want to network, but there has been no actual street presence from TCM in Illinois at all.
Regardless if those protesting this event were actually Creators or not, we are curious to know who they are. Their presence was unannounced prior to the event, and we have yet to see any written report backs. They came and went silently, likely attempting to stay off of our radar. Taken from the Tribune:
Wiesel speaks to sanctity of learning, power of memory
Mark Caro
Elie Wiesel didn't need Holocaust deniers to lend immediacy to his discussion about the importance of learning and memory, but there they were anyway, three men standing outside the Symphony Center Sunday morning holding an anti-Semitic banner and barking such nonsense as, "There never was a Holocaust."
"Hopefully he doesn't reproduce," one woman muttered about the group's leader as she stepped inside.
The bile outside, of course, was no match for the eloquence, poignancy and good humor of the 84-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner. Wiesel's writings, inspired by his experiences in Nazi death camps, earned him the Chicago Tribune Literary Prize, which he received Sunday as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival. Wiesel was interviewed on stage by Tribune critic Howard Reich, himself the son of Holocaust survivors and writer of the book and documentary "Prisoner of Her Past" about his mother's struggle to come to terms with her ordeal.
Meet An Alleged Tinley Park "Victim" – Jeffrey Burns
Taken from HARM blog: Jeffrey Stuart Burns (aka Thomas Stuart) from Wood River, IL would have you believe he's a stand-up guy. He's a devout Roman Catholic with nearly 2000 posts on forums.Catholic.com. He loves dogs, especially pits and shepherds. He works in private security. He listens to Christian music. He loves the outdoors. His favorite books are Sherlock Holmes, The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People, and just near anything Ayn Rand ever wrote. He even smokes a pipe. But there's another side of Jeff. He's the type of guy that dresses up like a Muslim for Halloween. He also is a forum moderator for world's largest white supremacist website, Stormfront. He specializes in moderating conversations about white supremacy and religion. When it comes to keeping conversations about whether or not Jesus was Jewish civil and respectful, Jeff is your man. When you combine Jeff's religious devotion with his perverse views about race you come up with an intense ideology:
"I personally blend my traditionalist Catholicism with some affinities for NS [national socialist] esotericism and, increasingly, some elements of Heathenry and Aryan Vedism. Hardly the first to do that: many before me of a mystical/philosophical bent have explored similarly. The thing is: if mystical [white nationalism] is part of the path one is drawn to–it should be a DISCIPLINED walk, and not just a verbal or mental assent. I'm probably no model of that: the first rule of discipline is to establish a stable routine. Mine gets tossed every which way by nature of my work. Anyhow: respect and honor for Adolf Hitler is indeed something I affirm. [emphasis added]"
-from http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t884204-3/
Besides being a Hitler loving national socialist, Jeff is also a member of Council of Conservative Citizens and American Third Position (screenshot). Jeff's true unfulfilled ambition within the white supremacist community was to join Volksfront, a violent skinhead crew (screenshot) but failed to meet their physical requirrements.
Here's Jeff's version of national socialism in his own words:
The incompetant [sic] steel-magnate, the inept butcher, the shop-keeper who simply could not keep shop–these would lose the business concerns which they could not operate properly anyhow. But they would yet have social safety-nets cushioning them from their fall and enabling them to return to productive economic activity in some other way. This is anathema to the underlying preconceptions of true socialisms, Marxian or otherwise, because all true socialisms start with the classical liberal idea that all humans are fundamentally equal, separated and differentiated only by unnatural class differences which can with time be eliminated. Start with the recognition that NS [national socialist] ideology does NOT believe in the fundamental eqality [sic] of humankind but rather that people are naturally different and will have organically-differentiated functions in an economy and you begin to grasp what separates NS [national socialism] from pure socialism.
The underlying vision of socialism is the abolition of government, the "whithering-away of the State", the establishment of anarcho-syndicalist democratic systems where everything is held in common, everyone has an equal vote, and "government" is wholly synonymous with the People. A vision which Marxist-Leninism could never attain to despite systematic efforts to 'scientifically' attain such. SOCIALISM IS THE ATTEMPT TO ACHIEVE ABSOLUTE DEMOCRACY IN EVERY RESPECT. Fron [sic] that perspective a market-economy is loathsome and undesirable as the ultimate goal is economic cooperation and not competition. National Socialism is the opposite: it is a repudiation of equalitarianism and the self-conscious effort to attain to a society and an economy governed by elites, specifically by elites born and systematically proven to their role. From that perspective, a free competitve marketplace is desirable as the proving-ground of the economic elites.
This is central to a proper understanding of modern political philosophy:
THE EXISTENCE OF A BUREACRACY IN A SOCIALIST STATE–indeed the existence of any sort of "exoskeleton" of government apart from the "people"–REPRESENTS A FAILURE OF SOCIALIST THEORY. On the other hand–THE PRESENCE OF A STRONG STATE CENTERED ON A LEADER AND GOVERNED BY ELITES WHO ARE THE CREAM OF AN ETHNICALLY-PURE ARYAN PEOPLE IS A NATIONAL SOCIALIST IDEAL. From this perspective a "democracy" is an inherent evil and democratic "ideals" are an evil to be purged from the Body Politic. A National Socialist state does not want democracy: it wants a nation of Overmen, a Master Race of people rendered hardened against the weaknesses of equalitarianism and democracy which Jewish ideology have insinuated into our minds to weaken and destroy us. The vision of National Socialism is in many ways the vision of the Dune trilogy [all emphasis added].
-from http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t841576-14/#post9733179
To give him credit, he's one of the few nazis I've encountered that has a strong enough grasp on political theory that he is capable of discerning the difference between Marxist-Leninism and anarcho-syndacalism. It's also somehow refreshing to hear a fascist admit openly that they have no sentimental attachments to notions of equality or democracy.
Truly the "Overman" of the master race he's considered to be within the white supremacist community, Jeff has been attending leadership retreats sponsored by Stormfront. Though you might not have heard of Bob Whitaker, if you've followed news coverage of the Tinley Park Five you've probably heard parroting of what white supremacists are now referring to as the "Bob Whitaker Mantra":
Again referencing Stornfront's [sic] recent Leadership Seminar: those who coin or appropriate a term first own it. It is very difficult to successfully re-capture or redefine a word the Enemy camp siezed [sic] first. "National Socialism" was an attempt to recapture the word 'socialist' for the Right, and it has only succeeded in the minds of most ordinary Americans in confounding Nazis with Communists. By the same token, we cannot re-define 'racist' as a badge of honor nor successfully abridge it into 'racialist'. Commies coined the word and they own it. What we can do is throw the epithet back on them: "racism is code word for anti-White; anti-racism is code for White genocide. Our people are the ones who truly believe in diversity: our enemies want to destroy diversity through racial integration". THAT is the Bob Whitaker "mantra", and how we use it.
-from http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t837307-4/#post9640332
Jeffrey Burns and his cohorts are fascists in a very real and classical sense of the word. They are obviously racist and they know it. They know that YOU don't like racism so they figure they'll just change the terminology. The tactic is neither new nor shocking. The only real surprise is just how willing the corporate media has been to perpetuate their blatant lies in print without the slightest bit of investigation or burden of proof. (///)

Google to sell Motorola to Lenovo for $2.9 billion
Admin 370
Though the sale has not yet been finalized by either company, Google CEO Larry Page posted a statement on the company's blog yesterday to confirm the deal.
"The smartphone market is super competitive, and to thrive it helps to be all-in when it comes to making mobile devices," he wrote. "It's why we believe that Motorola will be better served by Lenovo—which has a rapidly growing smartphone business and is the largest (and fastest-growing) PC manufacturer in the world. This move will enable Google to devote our energy to driving innovation across the Android ecosystem, for the benefit of smartphone users everywhere."
Of the $2.9 billion, $1.41 billion is to be paid at the close of the agreement, with $660 million in cash and $750 million in Lenovo shares. The remaining $1.5 billion will be paid as a three-year promissory note.
As part of the acquisition, Lenovo will take control of the Motorola brand and Motorola's complete portfolio of smartphones, including the Moto X, Moto G, and the Droid Ultra series.
Google, meanwhile, will retain ownership of most of Motorola's patents, although Lenovo will receive a license to the portfolio and over 2,000 patent assets.
"The acquisition of such an iconic brand, innovative product portfolio and incredibly talented global team will immediately make Lenovo a strong global competitor in smartphones. We will immediately have the opportunity to become a strong global player in the fast-growing mobile space," said Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO, Lenovo, in a statement.
The deal has Lenovo poised to be a significant player in the mobility industry – Motorola is the third largest Android smartphone manufacturer in the Americas, while Lenovo is one of the top mobile device manufacturers in China.
"We are confident that we can bring together the best of both companies to deliver products customers will love and a strong, growing business," said Yang.

06/24/2016 Tentative Ruling Download Tentative ruling on motions for clarification.
05/18/2016 Ruling Download Ruling issued. California Court Invalidated Delta Management Plan, But Rejected Argument That Plan's Sea Level Rise Assumptions Were Flawed. A California Superior Court invalidated the long-term management plan for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta but was not persuaded by an argument that the plan relied on sea level rise projections that were too high and not based on best available science. The management plan was prepared by the Delta Stewardship Council pursuant to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Reform Act of 2009. A draft conservation strategy report was based on an assumption of a rise in sea level of 55 inches over the next 50 to 100 years, a projection also referenced in the Act. While petitioners argued that data in the report predicted a rise of only 13.8 inches by 2050 and 35 inches by 2100, the court noted that the 55-inch level was supported in other studies cited by the Council.

FILM Politics
Knives Out for 'Glass Onion'
The mystery of the never-ending discourse
December 30, 2022 January 3, 2023 Jake Harris 0 Comments Ben Shapiro, Daniel Craig, Elon Musk, Glass Onion, Rian Johnson
The year may be nearly over, but The Discourse™ never ends. This time, Twitter has lost its dang mind over Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
Director Rian Johnson's sequel to his wildly successful 2019 whodunit hit Netflix over Christmas weekend after an abbreviated run in theaters. Naturally, with the wider audience came a wider group of opinions about the film. The online discussion around Glass Onion is just the latest example of how stupid internet film criticism has become.
News cycles have always come and gone; that's nothing new. But lately it seems like users on Twitter — by design, a website that rewards hot takes and tribalism — are so starved for anything Big and Important to talk about that they will elevate even the simplest things into A Big Deal deserving of a definitive opinion. A while ago it was Top 10 lists. Then it was whether Avatar has any cultural relevance (again). I'm sure we're due up for another round of Martin Scorsese/Marvel chatter soon.
Glass Onion became Twitter's Character of the Day over Christmas weekend after conservative commentator and edgelord Ben Shapiro posted a lengthy thread about the movie. In his 17-tweet thread, Shapiro complains that Johnson's "politics is as lazy as his writing" and that the movie, which is partly about the absolute incompetence of a tech billionaire, takes too many potshots at Twitter CEO Elon Musk, "one of the most successful entrepreneurs in human history," Shapiro writes. "How many rockets has Johnson launched lately?"
(For the record, Johnson has said in interviews that the billionaire character in question is a combination of Musk and other people like him, but the resemblance is definitely there.)
Anyway, people relentlessly dunked on Shapiro for his take, which sucked the fun out of watching this movie quicker than detective Benoit Blanc solving a murder. Frankly, if you're that worked up over a whodunit movie, you deserve to get roasted online. That thread opened the floodgates for everyone else to comment on various aspects of the movie.
Everything from the film's release strategy to its pandemic setting to its commentary on wealth in America was called into question with a seriousness reserved for public policy discussion. Film Twitter only knows how to have the same few discussions over and over, and a lot of this was reminiscent of the discourse around The Last Jedi, a much more controversial film from Johnson.
Because these same discussions keep happening ove and over, film fandom on Twitter has become a series of binary arguments. You're either pro-Scorsese or pro-Marvel. Pro-The Last Jedi or you love "the real Star Wars." Franchise or indie. Movie theaters or streaming. Marvel or DC. Assigning this level of intensity to something as simple as movie opinions can only lead to burnout. Since these arguments have such clearly defined sides, it's easier to assign moral value to one side over the other. Twitter truly is a microcosm of society, just in the worst way its founders could have conceived. Ironically, resisting that kind of tribalism and worship of groupthink is precisely what Glass Onion is about.
As Blanc says in the film, "It's a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thought for speaking the truth."
The Discourse™ surrounding Glass Onion hasn't been all bad. A lot of great jokes and memes about Blanc have popped up as a result of its moment in the Twitter spotlight. Numerous people have pitched a Muppets Knives Out movie where Blanc is the only human. My favorite genre is the "Benoit Blanc describes [x movie]" format.
Glass Onion is a fun movie with a big cast and a mystery that keeps you guessing. You can like it, or not like it. Whatever choice you make is not a moral judgement; it's an opinion on a piece of art. You can have opinions without being "a vainglorious buffoon," as Blanc says. But that won't get the retweets, so The Discourse™ marches on. May we all go outside and touch some more grass in 2023.

Labour leader Ed Miliband unveils Labour's pledges carved into a stone plinth in Hastings during General Election campaigning.
I cannot tell you how influential and damaging the consoling belief that Britain is a "progressive" country has been. It stopped the Left being frightened of the Right. It stopped it taking the fight against it seriously. In his bedtime story for lefties, The Conservative Dilemma, Jon Trickett, an ally of Miliband, argued that the Tories could not cope with the 21st century. They couldn't appeal to their base without appalling the "progressive majority", or vice versa. Miliband's Labour, he wrote in 2012, was now free to renounce the compromises of the hated Blair era. It could let rip, march leftwards, and "put an end to triangulation on to Tory territory". Every assumption he and thousands like him made has now turned to dust.
Maybe you find these Left/Right divisions arbitrary. When you ask them to describe themselves, the overwhelming majority of sensible people do not use political labels. But nearly everyone knows which country they belong to, and national as much as political divisions destroyed the British Left last month.
The SNP swept Scotland by appealing to Scottish patriotism. Labour was a quisling party of foreigner-loving traitors, it said; "red Tories" who would sell out Scots to their English enemies. Labour tried to argue that the SNP, a movement supported by Rupert Murdoch, was hardly left-wing. It tried to raise the disgraceful state of Scotland's schools and hospitals under SNP rule. No good did it do them. Nationalism thrashed social democracy, as it has done so often in the past. South of the border, Conservatives and the Kippers hit Labour with English nationalism. Far from being "red Tories", Labour would ally with the "far-left" SNP and do down the people of England, they cried. Once again Labour were the quislings, the enemy within, only this time the charge was coming from English rather than Scottish nationalists.
I said earlier that Cameron was an inadequate prime minister unfit to meet the challenges of our time. Nowhere in my view is his mediocrity more evident than in his willingness to risk the union by setting up an arms race between Scottish and English nationalism. But why should he care? In the short term, which is the only term that matters to him, who can deny that his tactics worked, and that Labour could not cope with them?
The universities, left press, and the arts characterise the English middle class as Mail-reading misers, who are sexist, racist and homophobic to boot. Meanwhile, they characterise the white working class as lardy Sun-reading slobs, who are, since you asked, also sexist, racist and homophobic. The national history is reduced to one long imperial crime, and the notion that the English are not such a bad bunch with many strong radical traditions worth preserving is rejected as risibly complacent.
It was worse than I said at the time. I should have remembered that after Scotland received greater autonomy Labour pulled every trick it could think of to stop England receiving compensatory powers. Its self-interest was transparent. Labour had to apply a double standard to England and allow Scottish MPs to vote on English laws because such a large proportion of its politicians were Scottish. At the election, it suffered for being seen as an anti-English party, while watching its mighty Scottish contingent reduced to one MP — a nice chap from Edinburgh called Ian Murray.
In other words, Miliband tried to construct a winning coalition as a child tries to build a house out of Lego. He would take bricks from his toy box — the Scots here, the intelligentsia, the Northern working class and selected ethnic minorities there — and place them on top of each other until his 35 per cent strategy was complete. So confident was he that, even on election night, when his house was crashing around him, he still thought he could win.
One Labour adviser, who was far too intelligent for Ed Miliband to talk to, said the party forgot that modern left-wing politics isn't like building with Lego but playing with magnets. The groups you try to pull together into your coalition are just as likely to repel as attract each other.
This is why the calls for Labour to return to Blairism are not quite as convincing as they sound. The old saying "you can win from the centre-Left but not from the Left" remains as true as ever, of course. Equally obviously, it would help Labour if it had leaders who talked to the voters as if they came from the same human species — or if that is too much to ask, from close relatives among the higher primates. But if Labour in England move to the centre, the SNP will use its "Blairism" against it in Scotland. If it tries to reclaim some of the hundreds of thousands of supporters it lost to UKIP, it will alienate supporters in the ethnic minorities. If it carries on pandering to conservative religious minorities by segregating women at Labour hustings, it will carry on losing the support of those, including liberal Muslims, who find its endorsement of reactionary prejudices intolerable. If it concentrates on England, as it must when it has just one seat in Scotland, it will further help the SNP.
A way out will be found only if Labour and the wider Left stop being so dishonest, and I include myself in that criticism. After the election, I looked back on what I had written about Labour with embarrassment. I produced a couple of disobliging pieces about Miliband. But I did not campaign against him. I did not scream at the parliamentary Labour party that he would let the Tories in, and millions would suffer as a result. Nor did many others in the left-wing press. People who knew better stayed silent in part because we did not want to be accused of treacherously aiding and abetting the Conservative cause, and in part because we believed the opinion polls, and thought that somehow or other Labour could cobble together a government. Living in London aided self-deception. Immigration and the extortionate cost of housing is pushing its population leftwards, as is London's arrogance. The capital is strong and self-confident; it makes the mistake of thinking that everywhere else thinks as London thinks.
If the left-wing press was not pulling the Labour party back towards sanity, then nor were Labour politicians. They stayed loyal too and kept themselves wrapped in a warm cocoon. It ought to shame them that in the years before an appalling defeat not one senior figure tried to overthrow Miliband. Not one even developed an alternative political programme Labour could adopt after defeat. The trade unions were as bad. They have often been a stabilising force in Labour history, but are now so mad that Len McCluskey, the general secretary of Unite, backed Lutfur Rahman, the former mayor of Tower Hamlets, who was not only an opponent of the Labour party but a demagogue whose electoral frauds provoked the courts into removing him from office.
As they face the consequences of defeat, men and women who have spent years avoiding self-criticism will need to understand where they went so badly wrong. They will need to make their choices clear to an electorate which barely heeds them. And they will need to get on with it. Because unless the Left snaps out of its trance, the Conservatives will be in power for another decade.

I am glad to say that it cuts well at 1"
But makes the welding slow a bit.
Here is an image I cut - note the 1st two border were in one page and not the butterfly and flower weld.
they are 1 inch welded twice and then copied and flipped and welded - So total welding of one border is 4 times and that makes 8 weld in one page. So it is a little slow for welding the 8 pieces but not that bad. It took about just 5 - 8 mins and once it welded once - so better to preview - then when I cut it 2nd time it was fast and by fast I mean fast - So if your mat is a little less sticky hold the paper a bit so that it does not move. Don't hold on to dear life and ruin the machine by adding resistance but just let your hand hold and move or dance withe the blade.
Hmm. Maybe I have to make a video of my hands dancing with the cricut and gypsy. But alas!! my hands are not pretty like pink stamper or Jinger. So maybe not!!!!

I had asked a question - does anyone read and if so please comment. Ha Ha. That was a loaded question!!
Thank you Pam for all your tips and tricks.

As I opened the gypsy sync to transfer some files - there is an update.
It takes about 15- 20 mins. The bar first fills in - this takes about 10 - 12 mins and then status elapsed time shows up and after 1 - 2 mins or so Status - Updating cartridge data message is on for 3 -4 mins and then Status - Updating cartridge overlay message comes on for another 10 - 12 mins. Then comes the Status Done message with a pop window also which appears (in my XP laptop) which says update successfully. At this stage I would advice you not to press the x close up on the G sync window but to g to File menu and press Exit. Only when you get the message Cleaning up gypsy resource will the G be released . So if for any reason your gypsy is not released - First reopen the Gypsy sync and then exit again. Do this first and only if does not work try the reset.

Wow!. It's a long time since I made these tips.
First save the file. Sometimes for this procedure to work, depending on the update, you may have to commit the file by closing the file (which in gypsy is convoluted as there is no closing the file command so you have to open another file or a new file and then open this file again).
So there you go - to find out cartridge in use. You can also find the cartridge you have linked in the same window.
Note that Cartridge in Use is update dependent in that you have to save the file and in some updates you have to close the file for it get committed.
Now a small test for you. :).
How many of you are really reading what I write.
Did you just raise your hand? Oops cannot see from here. !!

Hello everyone! I'm Cathy, aka Kissakoala on the Cricut Messageboard. Today, I'm the featured designer. I'm honored and a little nervous, so I'll just jump right in!
Today's project is very simple. I've had this idea for some time, in fact, I have to give credit to my sister in law for the idea. She told me how she had purchased magnet frames and thought I should make them. I've been thinking about this for some time and thought it would be a great project to show here.
Supplies needed: Magnet sheeting. I purchased this at Michaels. It comes in a roll and measures 12" x 24". I just needed to unroll it and place it on a flat surface so when I cut it out, it would lay flat on the cutting mat. You also need a sheet of cardstock. I chose this print from DCWV Glitter Stack. I also have glitter paper. I used this to cut the flowers, but you can use what ever paper you prefer for the flowers. And, to finish up, a little bling.
Since this month's featured cartridge is Sentimentals, and I don't have this particular cartridge, I went to my trusty Gypsy and viewed the images on this particular cartridge. I found a shape that is also featured on Base Camp - the stamp edge shape. This is perfect!
Here is a shot of my Gypsy screen of the final project. I used the stamp edge shape for the frame, but to make it a frame, I used a square from George - shaped it into a rectangle - slightly smaller than 4 x 6 so it overlaps your photo. Then I used flowers from George (shift version). Simple, right?
The great thing about this magnet sheet is its self adhesive! Its not necessary to get this kind of magnet sheet, but it sure helps! I adhered the cardstock to the magnet sheet before cutting. To minimize the amount of waste, I cut the magnet sheet slightly larger than my project and used an 8 x 8 sheet of cardstock. A strip of 2 x 8 was left over (and this can be used for cards at a later time).
I used multi cut set at 2, blade at 6, pressure at max, and it sliced through both layers easily!
Here is the final project! Since its glitter paper, I used Zip dry to attach the flowers to the frame and also to attach the bling to the centers of the flowers.
By the way, those little ones in the photo are my twin grandchildren..love this pic!
I have to admit, I"m quite addicted to making these frames! It will be a great item to sell at the upcoming craft fairs my daughter and I plan to do this fall!
Thank you Tuesday Treats for the chance to show off some of my work. Hope you enjoyed today's feature!

Remember way back I had got this Husky 22" Cantilever box from home depot for cartridge.
I had initially planned on just taking this thing to crop and just as a solution for my friend. But I guess I have to use this myself as my cartridge shelf is overflowing thanks to PC's releasing more and more tempting cartrides lol.
I was reorganizing my scraproom/studio room. Since my poor room has to do double duty and I am as worse is stocking paint things as my scrap things. Now since I am a watercolor painter or should I say was a watercolor painter - my papers are not the convenient 12 x 12 but a whopping 22 x 30" and since they need to be protected they have to be in a shelf and so I have 2 safco flat file shelves which are huge. I got these used form ebay when I was in California. for $100 each (we had to go and pick up) . Some shops sell used office furnitures from companies which close down an I am was lucky to have got this else each shelf costs just an extra 0 lol.
I digressed there. So since that too has to be in my scraproom along with the 100's of brushes and paint and easel etc etc - it is not easy organizing all that. I have been slowly buying and organizing the room piece by piece.
Still have to organize as while rearranging furniture to suit me (and getting my poor hubby to help and thus ruining his weekend) I had to resort to using this storage.
Whew! how did this simple topic get so long winded!!
Note - I put only as many cartridges as the lower portion could handle the booklets.
So I had space to put some extra bins. I removed 1 row from the top smaller bins (let's call it A bins) and all the lower taller bins from the bottom (let's call this B bin). Then I laid the cartridge booklets as I wanted and added 4 A bins (stacked 2 on one another). So I replaced this many cartridges. They go off to a plastic container to the attic and the extra 1 row of bins and lower bins which I removed - I can use for storing some stuff and the other bins inside the box - I will maybe store some blades , cartridge housing etc.
Note the reason I removed 1 row of top bins is that the top lid can close but I felt as if it were pressing if I left it in and I did not want that. Now the other bins prevent the cartridges from sliding and they fit so well.
I still need to organize this further with maybe arranging it by alphabetizing it. I also need to set up my scraproom further.
I am not a very good cleaner and neither a perfect scrapbook diva. So my room by no means will have that decorated , perfect paper organized by color etc. Anyway I do not have that many colors as I prefer to have paper stacks like DCWV , K&Company, My Mind's Eye and Me & My Big idea.
So my scraproom is just a simple storage for max. space I can get out of it.
The only reason I am doing this shw and tell is maybe just maybe one the idea might give you an idea.

Lately my mojo has been down. And I finally found out why - because instead of creating I have been stalking!!
Posted by Unknown at 2:17 PM 8 "kind encouraging and inspiring words"
Hello! What's the buzz? :) My name is Michele aka Dancingarden on the cricut messageboard.
This month the focus is on the Sentimentals cartridge. I thought at first I'd do a scrapbook page, as that is my main choice of projects, but I kept looking at this beehive and bee and couldn't come up with a page idea, but I did come up with a gift box idea.
I apologize for the quality of the pictures of my gypsy screen. This is a view of the filigree cut that is layered over the box. It's actually the beehive filigree layer welded together a few times with another little scroll-y thing to fill in the spaces. Here's what it looks like cut out.
I ran the filigree through my 5" xyron and adhered it to the box. You can see the beehive shape a lot better below. On the gypsy, the filigree runs off the page. I did that ntentionally; partly because I had trouble seeing the box edge through the filigree layer to see how close to the edge I was. And partly because I was lazy and figured it would be easy to just snip off the excess filigree, which I did. You'll notice I did not allow the filigree to run over the tab that is used to adhere the box together.
Once the filigree was attached, I assembled the box as directed on my blog's box post. As I mentioned in that post, you have the option of the top closing with the iris concaved or with it sticking up. For my beehive box, I chose the top sticking up.
I created a small shaped card from the beehive on my gypsy. It is attached with tiny rectangles, and one beehive is flipped so that the front and back will match when they are folded together. Here's the gypsy screen of the little card.
You can see the inside of the card below.
After assembling the card and bee layers, I stickled them all (filigree only) with Cinnamon Stickles. Once they were dry, I wound some craft wire into springs and attached them to the backs of the bees and the back of the card.
I tied the card onto the box with ribbon, and I'm done!
Please visit this post on my blog to download JUST the box cut file and view assembly instructions.
Or, please go to this link to download the entire cut file for this project: box, bees, card and all.
Thank you for looking and I hope you enjoyed seeing this project!

Sadly we have to wait till August till they do a firmware update to fix this problem.
"We are aware that Celebrate With Flourish is currently missing from your Gypsy update. Unfortunately, we need to make a firmware change to Gypsy to fix this problem and that is scheduled to happen in August. Thank you so much for your patience!"
Now what happened to base camp which had welding problem?
Posted by Unknown at 3:27 PM 2 "kind encouraging and inspiring words"
I am so very happy to be at Tuesday Treats. I was invited by Pam to fill in for somebody who couldn't make it today. A bit intimidated to be among so many great talented ladies and hoping you like my card.
The cart of the month is Sentimentals and I chose the phone from page 59. I used my Gypsy to weld both sides of the image and to weld the doorknob from page 34 to use it as a closure and as a stand for the card. It did not come out as I had it in my mind so I had to tweak it a bit and change plans.
I used the DCWV Songbird Collection stack for this project.
The Hi was cut at 1 inch and you can find this on page 25 of the handbook.
A closer view of the dimensional dial.
welding to the card base.
Here you can see the front of the doorknob.
The back of the card and the other side of the doorknob.
I am showing here a little pouch I made with a scrap of cardstock to insert the one side of the doorknob.
This is a photo of my Gypsy screen where I added all my images ready to be duplicate to cut on the next layer. This is how I do most of my trials and errors. After I am satisfied, then I re-arrange everything to be cut, if possible, on one 12 by 12 mat.

Choosing a Stem Major, Part I: The Role of Influencers and Interest on Women and Minorities
In 2016, Artemis Connection launched Project Ascendance, a study on the racial and gender divide. An initiative of our 4.5% Giving Back Promise, Project Ascendance seeks to build a body of research and create actionable plans for women and minorities to advance their careers. This blog series shares preliminary findings from our research, based on individual interviews, literature review, and analyses.
In our last article, we considered the role secondary education and role models play on a child's decision to eventually pursue a STEM career. This month we consider the undergraduate STEM degree: who and what influences a student's decision to major in a STEM subject, and what are the particular challenges for women and minorities who do so?
Women and minority STEM majors, think back (maybe way back, ahem) to your undergraduate years. Do you remember the process by which you selected a major? Did you have a process? Who influenced your choice of degree? Do you remember facing any challenges as a STEM major because of your gender or minority status?
If you're anything like the respondents in our Project Ascendance study, chances are that, as a woman and/or minority, your experience and decision to major in a STEM field was perhaps less conventional, straightforward, and comfortable than it might be for, say, a white male student. Here we share some of the observations from the respondents in our study on the role that influencers, gender, minority, and bias had on their experiences majoring in a STEM field during their undergraduate education. We believe their responses contribute important ideas to the discussion of attracting and retaining women and minorities to STEM careers.
Despite research demonstrating that academic counselors play a pivotal role in keeping university students engaged in STEM fields through graduation,[1] individuals in our study almost never cited seeking out or obtaining assistance from counselors. Instead, college professors loomed large for our respondents, serving as both role models and crucial mentors, encouraging respondents to select the major in which the professor taught classes, providing support through difficult classes, and advising them on potential careers after graduation. In addition, individual experiences and relationships—the opportunity to do academic research in a STEM field or having a relationship with a practitioner in that field—solidified respondents' interest in pursuing a STEM degree.
For example, one female respondent, now a serial entrepreneur, told us, "During my sophomore year, the only female professor in the Economics department pulled me aside and said I was doing a really good job in her course, and that I should stick with it even if I was one of the only women in the class." Another white woman, today a senior leader in marketing at a high-tech company recalled that, "at the end of college, a professor who read my thesis suggested I publish it in a journal and offered to help me rewrite it. I did that with her. She reached out to me and encouraged me to go further."
Interestingly, while peers were sometimes cited by our respondents as influencing their decision to take a class outside of their major areas of study, they were almost never cited as influential to a respondent's decision to stay in a declared major. All of this suggests that professors play a large role as gatekeepers to STEM degrees and, ultimately, careers.
Given the role of individual professors and peers in steering the women and minorities in our study to STEM fields of study, it's perhaps no surprise that our respondents cited choosing their major out of pure interest in the academic subject twice as often as they cited the potential for employment prospects or the likelihood of financial security after graduation. In addition, respondents described choosing a major because of its ability to allow them to apply their knowledge to concrete problems or activities slightly more than for employment prospects. There were no obvious gender differences among these justifications.
One white woman, now a high-tech entrepreneur, told us, "I was just in love with computer science. I hated writing but could just code for hours, but I wasn't even thinking of computer science as a profession at the time." Another woman and current tech leader said, "I loved economics and everything about it. I still had humanities classes, but economics gave me the tools to understand theories and how the world worked."
One unique area where interest seemed to play a unique role for women in deciding on a STEM major was the perception that the degree would allow them to combine distinct interests. A number of women respondents (but no male respondents) described selecting a STEM major due to their impression that doing so would allow them to pair, say, qualitative and quantitative interests or technical and social interests, within a single STEM field of study. Often these dualisms centered on choosing a major that was both socially relevant and applicable to the job market, or gave the respondent the ability to help people and engage in intellectually stimulating work.
A white scientist-respondent said her choice to major in Sociology, "combined my intellectual passion for helping people with quantitative goals." Another respondent, an Asian American woman who is now a VP at a tech company, recalled, "I had a friend in Electrical Engineering. He was taking a class in biomedical circuit-making and they had a webinar for Medtronic devices. He invited me along, and it really appealed to me because I could build things and help people."
Finally, it's interesting to note that perceptions of STEM disciplines varied. Some respondents believed that STEM majors are inherently social and practical, while others determined that these majors were isolating or too theoretical. One respondent, an Hispanic woman who is now an executive at a security company, explained, "When I got to college I had to choose between business/math and English/writing. Even though I loved math, I ultimately chose English because it was a human thing. In math I thought I'd just be working with numbers behind computers by myself."
In Part 2 of Choosing a STEM major, we'll consider the barriers to STEM degrees for women and minorities. Stay tuned.

Many women are self-conscious about how they look in bathing suits. Finding that perfect bathing suit that helps you look great on the beach can be a daunting task, but keeping a few the right styles in mind while you shop can help you pick a suit you look good in and feel comfortable wearing. Choosing the best bathing suit has a lot to do with taste. You should also choose a bathing suit that complements your best features and hides your worst. It should also give support in the right places. Knowing your body type and choosing a bathing suit to flatter it is one of the easiest things you can do to feel better about yourself at the beach.
Before you decide to buy a bathing suit, take a good look at yourself in the mirror in a bathing suit and be honest about what body type you have. Some of the most common bathing suits for body types include pear-shaped, rectangular-shaped, curvy, petite and hourglass bathing suit. Below are some explain about it.
Pear-Shaped; The first bathing suits for body types is about pear shaped bathing suit. The pear shape is sometimes called the triangular body shape. Pear-shaped women carry more weight on the bottom half of their body, which can be one or two sizes larger than their upper body. If you consider the size of your bottom half a problem, look for a swimsuit that gives you a more proportional look by using not only style, but color and pattern as well. Busy patterns draw more attention, so consider a darker, solid color for your bottom. A strapless, bandeau style top can create more volume on the top. If you're concerned about showing too much on the bottom, choose boy shorts or a skirt.
Curvy; Curvy women who have a larger midsection will look more proportionate in a bathing suit that creates a slimming top and defined waist. Buy a one-piece suit with a halter top. Find one with tummy control panels. Wear a bathing suit with a molded cup to ensure you have proper support. Also, look for suits with skirts to flatter your fuller bottom. Have fun with the suit by wearing bright colors and patterns, while showing off your gorgeous arms and legs.
Rectangular; Rectangular-shaped women have a straight up-and-down figure, meaning their shoulders and hips are about the same size, and they don't have a defined waist. Many different bathing suit styles work for this body shape, but the goal is to create a more defined waist. Bottoms and tops with ruffles or bows add volume and make the waist appear smaller. Tankinis or one-piece suits with belts also help define the waist.
Petite; Petite women with smaller busts can enhance their top-half with a halter bikini top. Find one that has a lightly padded top or has a seam right under the bust line. A strapless suit, or bandeau, will also give you a lift, especially when worn with a small string that ties around your neck. Triangular-shaped bikini tops will also enhance your bust and cleavage. Wear tops with added textures, such as ruffles, to add to your top's volume.
Hour-Glass; Those with an hour-glass figure, whose upper half is well proportioned to the bottom half, will look stunning in a classic two-piece suit. Even plus-size women with hour-glass shapes can pull off a bikini. However, if you do have a fuller tummy and would like some extra coverage, find a bottom you can wear higher up your hips to cover any areas you want to hide.
The above are some bathing suits for body types. Regardless of the style you pick, remember that loud patterns and colors tend to emphasize an area. Choose solid colors when you wish to draw attention away from a body part. For example, a combination of a light, patterned top and a dark bottom will lead the eye upward, causing the waist to appear smaller. We know, perhaps bathing suit season is a scary time for many women, as they aren't quite ready to bare it all on the beach or beside the pool. But after all, when choosing your bathing suit confidence is key, because if you feel like you look great, other people will pick up on it. Cheers!


Sold throughout 60 countries and territories the world over, Dodge products are a hallmark in the realm of the automobile. As early as 1916, Dodge cars were ranked second in U.S. sales, amidst the ubiquitous Ford Model T era. During the age of the muscle car, Dodge also played its role. The Dodge Charger, Coronet R/T, and Super Bee were all highly sought after for their swiftness. However, the Challenger was the culmination of Dodge's efforts to produce a first-rate speed machine. The "race-ready" version of the Challenger boasted a large V8 Hemi engine that outperformed many of its competitors.
Since this period Dodge has adapted its vehicles to suit customer demands. The Dodge Ram pickup became a very popular truck. Much of bucolic America was driving either a Ford F-150 or a Dodge Ram. Sport Utility Vehicles and Mini-Vans in the past two decades have been all the rage, and so Dodge played its hand in this car type as well with moderate success in the former, and notable success in the latter.
If you own a Dodge vehicle you may not have known the history, but you know that you have purchased a quality machine. Unfortunately, even the strongest cars have trouble from time to time. At some point your radiator may fail. But have no fear – TechChoiceParts.com is here! Give our site a gander and find what you need!
TechChoice Parts can supply both new and remanufactured radiators for almost every Dodge vehicle on the road.

The ODM appeals tribunal has directed the National Elections Board to withdraw Homa Bay Governor Cyprian Awiti's nomination certificate.
Protests rocked Homa Bay county on Tuesday after Awiti was declared winner of the ODM governor nominations.
County returning officer Erastus Otieno said Awiti won with 46,346 votes against Kasipul MP Oyugi Magwanga's 14,661.
Residents were up in arms as they shouted that they will support Jubilee party leader Uhuru Kenyatta in August.
Magwanga's agent Lameck Okeyo disputed the results, saying the results were not genuine.
"You cannot call the press at dawn to stage-manage the release of results. We know the winner in governor race," Okeyo said.
Wadagi,Awiti is not mature to lead as a governor.
