Mr President It's High Time To Fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein: It's The Right Thing To Do
So lets see what we have here on Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. I tell you what we have here is a prime example if you give somebody with evil intents enough rope they will eventually hang themselves. This is the Rosenstein who has defied handing over documents that Congressional committees have asked of him; this is the Rosenstein who wrote the letter to President Trump as to reasons then FBI Director James Comey must be fired and then when Trump did so Rosenstein appoints a special council in Robert Mueller; this is the Rosenstein who signed the fourth warrant to the FISA court by using a fake dossier whose author was Christopher Steele an admitted Trump hater who said that Trump must be stopped from becoming President; this is the same Rosenstein who threatened the Congress that he would have their emails read if they kept warning him on document requests oh that's right he later said that he was only kidding, sounds familiar doesn't it?; this is the same Rosenstein who just a couple of days ago the New York Times came out with the story that Rosenstein was advising that Trump's conversations should be taped by wearing wires to built a case for the 25th Amendment which is to be used for the most extreme consequences and not because the elites do not like the way the President talks or his mannerisms. Oh that's right, once again Rosenstein said that he was just kidding which means he in fact said it.
The following was posted by Gregg Jarrett Fox News legal analyst, published by Fox News: "Rosenstein should be fired immediately. Proposing to secretly record the president is, at the very least, a violation of regulations that govern a security clearance."
"Importantly, the entire special counsel investigation should be promptly terminated. This illegitimate probe has been tainted by corruption from the outset, and this is just the latest in a mountain of damning evidence."
"Rosenstein has been in charge of the Mueller probe. Yet, it is clear that he harbors an extreme bias against Trump. How can anyone now view the investigation as fair, objective and neutral? It is not. It never has been."
"The special counsel probe has been compromised and contaminated by Rosenstein's actions, Mueller's refusal to disqualify himself, the misconduct of former FBI agent Peter Strzok, and the obvious bias of lead prosecutor Andrew Weissmann."
" From the moment Trump was sworn in as president, saboteurs at the FBI and Justice Department have worked furiously to undue the election results and frame Trump for "colluding" with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election."
"They conjured a false case based on a fabricated "dossier" paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign and composed by a British spy who was fired for lying."
"It should begin with the firing of Rod Rosenstein. It should end with a presentment to a grand jury for potential criminal indictments."
I understand the argument that if Trump fired Rosenstein it would create a volcanic explosion among the Trump enemies, a very hard decision on the President's part but I guess that's why Trump made it to the presidency because the American people knew he could handle such decisions. Now for instance you have Hannity and Gregg Jarrett both on Fox News with opposing views on this issue. You have Hannity saying that it's a trap set forth by the Democrats that if Trump fires Rosenstein it will set off the explosion in the nation that the socialists are waiting for yet Jarrett states it's a matter of the right thing to do considering it's for justice winning out. I agree that public opinion should not supersede bringing in a lawbreaker like Rosenstein.
My opinion is that this weasel Rosenstein who has been tempering with Lady Justice against President Trump since the President took office has to go. Yes the Democrats are going to cry and create a volcano but hell they do that constantly to begin with and by the way as I have mentioned at other times, this should not have to be Trump doing the firing, this should be the job of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, he is in charge of the Department of Justice and this should have been an automatic for him to fire Rosenstein and because he hasn't has to tell we patriots a lot and that is he just cant get himself to fire the weasel and the reason for that is because he is one of them, the deep state and if Trump has to do the firing of Rosenstein and take the heat for it why he just might as well fire Sessions at the same time, We The People will be better off for it.

President Trump Is Getting To The Point We Patriots Have Been Stressing All Along: The FISA Judge Who Had Been Lied To Must Take Action!
I can imagine if I was the FISA judge who had been bamboozled on four different occasions on a phony dossier submitted by Marxist Obama's DOJ with former FBI Director James Comey bringing it to the judge for a final touchdown and not mentioning the fact that under the surface Hillary Clinton and her Democratic Party were deeply involved because they had paid for the phony dossier, if I was the judge I would be highly pissed off and that is an understatement. I was watching Fox News with Hannity two night's ago and Hannity asked Fox News Legal expert Gregg Jarrett as to what he would do about the phony dossier that was sent to the FISA court. "Jarrett said the FISA judge should call in DOJ and FBI operatives behind the FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign and the Trump administration and press criminal charges." The President agreed.
The following was posted by Gateway Pundit, published by Tea Party Official News: "President Trump: "Ohr told the FBI it (the Fake Dossier) wasn't true, it was a lie and the FBI was determined to use it anyway to damage Trump and to perpetrate a fraud on the court to spy on the Trump campaign. This is a fraud on the court. The Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court is in charge of the FISA court. He should direct the Presiding Judge, Rosemary Collier, to hold a hearing, haul all of these people from the DOJ & FBI in there, & if she finds there were crimes committed, and there were, there should be a criminal referral by her…." @GreggJarrett"

President Trump is now on the attack and this is what we all have been waiting for and in all fairness to the President he has been doing most of the attacking to-date something of which Attorney General Sessions should have been the one doing it. Today I heard Trump say that he will not fire Sessions before the mid-term elections in November but that looks to me it sounds like Sessions should be worried about keeping his job after the elections. Whatever the case may be to go back on topic I like the idea of the FISA judge to hold a hearing and find out once and for all the rationale the Obama DOJ used to send the dossier on four different occasions to the FISA court to spy on some of Trumps at that time campaign workers and future appointee's. We The people know why it was done but the FISA court must be pissed off as to how they have been made fool's of unless everything is just rubber-stamped by the court and that is just as bad in itself. Lets just say the FISA court has allowed itself to land in a catch 22 position and whatever the outcome it looks like a victory for Donald Trump, President of the United States.

Mixed media art ought not to be mistaken for multi-media art, which coordinates or moves between visual, aural, oral, PC created and different types of articulation in imaginative ways and blends. Mixed media artists, then again, while generally staying inside the space of visual art, constantly have an exploratory turn of psyche and are baffled by the customary necessity to stick to one of the exemplary media, for example, oils, watercolor, pastels or acrylics inside a solitary work, or undoubtedly inside their oeuvre all in all at AR-15 Scope for your firearm.
Imaginative artists have dependably had the desire to extend their methods for articulation, regardless of whether by utilizing the wrong end of the brush or blending earth or sand into their paint. This drive can be found in depictions from each period, however, in the past artists were particularly obliged by the physical restrictions of the materials they needed to hand. Paints at their most straightforward are a blend of ground-up shades added to a medium which enables them to be spread equitably, yet additionally holds and fixes them superficially to which they are connected. Straying from attempted and tried techniques may prompt fast debasement of the work and dissents about quality, life span and incentive for cash from benefactors.
In the past, there was most likely a progressively down to business and utilitarian way to deal with art all in all. Individuals expected the art they purchased to last, in conditions frequently much more factor and significantly less good than today. Capacity vaults with atmosphere controlled environments were a thing of things to come, so were advanced protection and reclamation procedures. There is still, in any case, an agreement among numerous contemporary artists, and their purchasers, that connected shading and surface ought not to blur, decay, forget about or corrupt unduly except if this procedure is an arranged part of the work.
Be that as it may, present-day materials take into consideration this need while empowering an a lot more extensive number and the mix of materials to be utilized inside a solitary work. The artists of today have an immensely expanded scope of items at their administration, not just astute new engineered paints and completes which draw out drying time and add to the hues and impacts conceivable, yet in addition, vitally, pastes, mixes and bearer mediums which enable them to fuse such materials as metal, plastic, texture, mortar, and wood into a painted or collaged surface. The specialized potential outcomes for mixed media AR-15 Scope for your firearm artists are practically boundless.
Before, as well, every period had its own thoughts regarding what comprised reasonable topic and strategies for artistic creation. These designs thusly incited dismissal and development. These days there is significantly less understanding among the art world and people in general about what comprises magnificence or enthusiasm for the watched world. Nothing is beyond reach regarding the topic, and this is reflected in the matter of materials. Furthermore, a developing worry for the earth, combined with this progressively impartial frame of mind to the physical condition, has prompted an enthusiasm for making art from reused materials. The present disposable society sends to landfill a heap of made materials which, in their practically inconceivable assortment of hues, surfaces, and attributes, offer a particular test and pleasure to imaginative artists. Without precedent for history since ancient cavern art, art materials can be had for the taking!
People who existed in the past were living a peaceful life where enmities, war, crime, and killings could not be witnessed. For these reasons, they only kept weapons at home to protect themselves against hostile wild animals. This is a different situation in our societies today as people who are close to you are the ones who turn against you and kill you. This has made people feel insecure and look for alternative ways to improve their security. So, why is it important to own a gun at home?
As much as you want to live a peaceful life, you must be aware that there are people who can never grant you this peaceful environment. There have been several cases reported about home invasions where victims and up losing their lives and properties. The reality is that no one ever wishes to experience such incidence. So for you to be able to safeguard your property and family members, 1903 pistol is essential as no one will ever cross your boundary whenever this gun is in your possession.
Improve security in your home.
Most victims of theft and attacks find themselves in such situations because criminals find them when they are vulnerable. I guess no one can courageously attack a home when he or she already know that they have a gun. As much as the government has been pushing the moves to improve on the security they offer to citizens, it's not logical that when someone is attacked 100 miles from the police station, than the security personnel will make it in time before the victim is assassinated. But in a case where there is a gun at home, you can simply fight back and protect your home.
Every citizen has a constitutional right to own a gun.
Perhaps you may not really understand how important this can be. But the reality is that in life we meet people with different motives and we must appreciate people who drafted and passed this bill. There are cases where a citizen can request to be given permission to own a gun. Their life may be at risk, or they are having valuable items which need security. This right can help prevent criminal activities such as bank robbery, car hijacks, and human threats among others. Actually, you do not need a high profile gun, 1903 pistol is essential for your own personal security.

Thoughts on culture and events by author and illustrator Christopher R Taylor
THE VIETNAM PERPLEX
"Nope, we never sold out. We bought in. But we kept the Che poster pinned up forever in our hearts right above the Pier One batik bedspread."
Gerard Vanderleun is a baby boomer. Like quite a few, he's not very impressed with his generation. When he was younger, he thought it was all quite great, all the marches and rebellion and rejection of tradition and the establishment. He describes what it was like to be part of the movement then on his site American Digest:
Our program was quite clear early on and it hasn't changed a jot since those years, it has simply gotten more pervasive and elaborate. After all, we're older now and we're in control. We can finally fund these things. With your money.
Here's how things went in our Brave New Whirled:
God, if he didn't emerge from 500 mikes of pure Sandoz LSD, was just a funny old guy a little bit like Santa Claus but with less of a user base.
The Bill of Rights was okay as long as you could figure out someway to erase a few of the amendments involving guns and add a host of new ones involving groups.
The Constitution? Too long and too arcane to really read with care. It was a given so what did we care?
History? The only really happening history was the future, man. Ours.
The United States? They were really "AmeriKKKa" -- Satan incarnate.
The US Military? Baby killers and agents of Satan.
The Police? Pigs.
The Viet Cong, Ho Chi Minh, Chairman Mao, Fidel Castro, and a host of other evil dictators and fascists? Heroes of "The People."
The People? Really wonderful as long as you didn't really have to hang out with them.
Voting in political parties? Stupid. We were into "participatory democracy" which involved really long meetings. ( This is now known as "emergent democracy" and involves really long online discussion threads.)
We believed in sex and drugs and rock and roll.
We were determined to resist "the man" on all levels.
We were young.
And we were very, very stupid for college kids. Check that. We were stupid because we were college kids.
The hippies and the rallies and the protests were given glowing and supportive reviews and coverage by the media and entertainment industry because they wanted to be part of the revolution, man, and because it was young and exciting and felt like something really big to be part of. Back then, there wasn't an alternative media like blogs to report the other side of things. Back then, if some kid crapped on a cop car or there was an outbreak of dysentery nobody would report it. Today, we do, and that's why the Occupy Movement isn't working as well as the hippies did.
But all this is just introduction to the most important point in the piece. Boomers were brought up by people who had experienced almost inconceivable difficulty, deprivation, and loss. They were brought up by the depression and world war 2 generation, who had faced the greatest struggle the world had seen thus far, and won, at great personal cost. They had experienced the rationing and the terror and the sadness. They had gone through the depression, and they wanted their kids to not have to face that.
It was understandable; parents want better for their kids than they had. They want to spare their children the woes they went through. That's understandable and completely expected. The problem is, what they did was spare their children growth and a proper comprehension of the world. And the results have been pretty horrible to behold.
Rejecting traditional morality and cultural structures, the boomers tore everything down and gave us nothing to replace it with. They took away absolute standards of ethical behavior that are the mortar of a society and tried to replace them with vapid relativism. They took away the standards and traditions that make a culture cohesive and united and replaced them with pop culture and entertainment. They're trying to build a future out of Justin Bieber and "whatever."
A while back I became fascinated with Vietnam. I read books like Vietnam, Perkasie and Brennan's War that totally changed my comprehension of the war. I studied the events, the history, the culture, and even the language of the soldiers. And I began to wonder about something. For years I'd been told and had no reason to question the idea that Vietnam was so horrible no one could ever understand the pain and difficulty. That the war was the worst ever, that it was a meat grinder that destroyed sanity.
But the more I studied the more I came to realize that the war wasn't significantly worse than any previous war in terms of its cost to the soldiers. In fact, it was significantly less lethal than World War 2 had been. The Korean War had been ghastly, and all of the 20th century conflicts pale in comparison to the absolute horror that World War I had been.
Go try to talk to a WW2 vet about his experiences. Chances are he just won't talk about them. Korea was the same way. If there had been any WWI or Civil War vets around, they'd be even more tight lipped. War is hell, sheer hell, and people who experience it see, and live, and do things they couldn't believe were humanly possible. And they have a very hard time talking about it. All of them. The hardship of the men in Bastogne was no less than those at Khe Sahn, and from what I have studied was significantly worse.
Yet the Vietnam Vets were the ones who complained the most, cried the most, were said to be the worst affected. What was the difference? The generation that fought it. This was the generation that didn't understand life, and for the first time began to doubt patriotism, mock tradition, attack the very fabric of American society, and focus only on the bad. Here's how one commenter explains it:
Gerard, you just said everything I ever wanted to say to my own elder siblings, who were born in the 1948-52 time period. I'm a late 1955 baby myself. I was a chid prodigy when it came to things like history and military history, which means I never bought into the boomer spiel about Vietnam and how awful our fathers, who had to contend with a war ten times as lethal as Vietnam, were.
Of course, that is where it all started. Boomers, who were the first generation in history to be spared the terrors of seeing brothers and sisters and friends dying in large numbers due to childhood diseases were finally subjected to a true trial of life, and half the generation panicked. And when they carried on about it in front of their own parents they were met with a stone wall of indifference and even hostility -- and were told to STFU and go do their duty for God and country or be labeled a coward.
And so to resolve this horrible Hobbesian dilemma, a lot of these boomers simply trashed God and country and Mom And Dad and heroism and manliness and every other value that would compel them to either go to war or feel bad about themselves.
And for me, it's just about as simple as that. That is the wellspring for everything you're writing about
It isn't that Vietnam wasn't awful, it was, it was almost incomprehensibly horrible to face, especially for those young men to face what they did and experienced and saw. Its that every war is almost incomprehensibly horrible, but they're the ones who act like it was worse than ever. I have total sympathy for the people who experienced that hell, and I pray I'll never have to. I honor their work and their sacrifice, and I will always support and respect a veteran of that ghastly war.
I am simply pointing out that their reaction was so different not because of the nature of the war, but because of the nature of the warriors. Boomers were the first sheltered generation, the first generation to be protected from the hardships of life. Their parents were rich enough, in a country safe and comfortable enough, with strong motivation to try hard enough to actually protect their kids.
Most of the terrors of previous generations were gone. Most of the pains and difficulties of childhood were erased. Death became something that was shuttled off to a special building with soft music and gentle voices rather than something you saw first hand, for the first time in human history. And when these people were called upon to fight, they were not just soft, but unprepared for difficulty at a very profound and basic level.
Not everyone who went to war was like that. Many had come from very poor, rural places and had very common, personal experience with death, deprivation, and hardship. You don't ever hear from those guys. They faced it like their fathers and previous generations, with the steely determination to get home and stop the other guy from killing them. They fought hard as diamonds and stood up to the pressures and pains and walked through the other side strong and better for it.
The ones we hear from, though. Those are the people who were largely from cities, largely protected by well-meaning parents. Those are the folks who are in the news, at the forefront. They're the ones who cracked when reality wouldn't fit what they insisted it be. And they did it because they were the first really self-indulgent, personally-focused generation of spoiled children who rejected everything that gave them the lives they enjoyed and everything that made it possible to continue.
Its true that every generation thinks it has it all figured out, begins to question and reject the previous generation, and insists the older people are fools. There are exceptions among the generation, but the whole tends to be that way. What was different for the Boomers were these forces, as I see it:
Previous generations had hardship and pain that forced them to grow up and recognize the real world.
The "Greatest Generation" raised their kids in a way to shelter them from these growing up points
Boomers rejected everything that created understanding and continuity between generations because their parents were ill-equipped to teach and carry these traditions on
Gramsci's long march through the institutions finally started to take hold
The McCarthy era totally discredited any attempt to stop marxism and leftist ideology
In other words, their parents have to take some , if not a great deal of the blame. Had they been better at teaching and understanding what was right and how to pass it on, the Boomers would have been less inclined to totally reject the past and what was right. Which in turn indicts the generation that raised the "greatest" generation. Because this failure passes through generations, each one failing the next. And it will take generations to rebuild and repair this damage, if ever.
The Boomers weren't uniformly horrible. They did accomplish some great things, and there always were exceptions. The problem is the damage they did is catastrophic and will endure long after they are dust. And the generations they raised are even worse.

We were at my grandparents on Christmas Eve, and I always try to get my grandfather talking about his childhood (late 30's, early 40's). I'm amazed at how he always tells new stories. Most old people I know have 5 or 10 stories that they repeat endlessly, but my grandfather seems to have an unlimited number of fascinating memories of his lifetime.
Anyway, he started talking about "Hog Killin' Day", which was the day every few months when they'd cull out two or three of their pigs, kill them, butcher them, and salt-cure the meat. He went into a lot of detail about how they'd do it, what a huge and laborious undertaking it was, and how lucky he and his brothers considered all those kids who lived "in town" and could go to the butcher to get their meat.
My mom had apparently never heard this story before, and she was just mortified by the picture he painted of himself and his brothers covered in blood and guts. When he was finished telling the story, she said, "I wish you'd never have told me that one." And I'm pretty sure she meant that.
And it occurred to me as I sat there listening, that THIS is the big disconnect between the Baby Boomers and their parents. They were never exposed to the harsh and disgusting realities of life, which is an understandable thing if it can be avoided, but what's worse is they were never even made aware of them. So they learned at a very young age to pretend like they don't exist. And that mindset has been slowly destroying our nation ever since.

I have been so fortunate to have met some wonderful ladies when I joined the Cocorico Bee on Flickr.
We are just wrapping up the second round and it has been a wonderful journey!
Having seen so many wonderful traveling, round robin quilts on the internet, I really wanted to start one. After a bit of coordinating, three members from the original Cocorico Bee created a Traveling Bee.
Amy's theme is "Maker" and she started with the sewing machine and zipper blocks.
I received Amy's blocks as well as Melinda's additions a few weeks ago. The blocks have been up on the design wall and I have finally added my designs.
The first block I made was the iron. The pattern is part of a quilt I designed for Quiltmaker Magazine a few years ago.
The SEW letters are from Kumiko Fujita's book, "Patchwork Patterns 318".
I added my signature style by fussy cutting the word fabrics, isolating my favorite parts of the text.
My last addition was the scissors block - a pattern I drafted this week.
It has been nice to have all the blocks up on my design wall.
helps to inspire the design process.
I am not done yet : ) That upper left section that is blank will be filled with a trio of blocks that will balance out the quilt.
Be sure to head on over Freshly Pieced to see some inspiring WIP Wednesday projects!
All blocks are amazing.. but the scissors block is just breathtaking!!!
I love your work Charise!
This is going to be a beautiful quilt...wow! I really love the scissors block, the shape is gorgeous!
I love your additions to this great collection!
Charise...this is going to be an amazing quilt. I love the zipper block. These are different colors for you and they are really great together!


I'm much more 'citified' than I think I am, exemplified specifically in my quizzing of 'Cornish cream tea' vendors as to exactlly how they make their coffee (is a freshly ground, espresso-based latte with an extra shot too much to ask in the middle of nowhere)?
Two weeks of living next to a beach consisting of miles of clean sand, crashing surf, a bar ON the beach blasting out cool tunes and serving cold beer, is not long enough!
For the last fortnight I have only had access to FOUR tv channles. You would not believe some of the crap stuff I have watched. Happily more interesting activities were pursued as an alternative to having Sky+, such as; eating pasties; squeezing the car up roads built originally for one horse to pass by a local urchin going to work in the local tin-mine; building up my fine collection of freckles in the sun/wind; and, foot exfoliation through bare-foot beach walking. Amongst other things.
You can tell if something is authentically Cornish, as it will have pictured on it one of the following: a pixie, a pirate, a surfer, a pastie, or, more often than not, all of the above. Classy.
When the brochure says 'palatially spacious 6-berth luxury caravan' brochure is taking piss slightly. When brochure says 'double bedroom' brochure means you have to sleep side-by side, ram-rod straight all night, not moving elbows from their crossed position across your chest.
I want to go back as soon as possible because I had a BRILLIANT TIME!

Robert A. Barber Jr. of Charleston was the 2006 Democratic Party's Nominee for Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina. In November 2006, Barber faced off against incumbent Republican Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer, who sought a second term in office, defeating Barber in the General Election.

Early life and career
Robert Barber was born in Charleston, South Carolina on July 29, 1949.  Having spent his earliest years on Folly Beach and nearby Bowen's Island, Barber moved to Columbia with his parents at the age of 10. After graduating from Columbia High School in 1967, he attended Wofford College and graduated in 1971. Barber later received a Masters of Divinity from Duke University in 1976. He then returned to his native state and served as a minister in two Laurens County churches before entering law school. Receiving his J.D. degree in 1982 from the South Texas College of Law, Barber engaged in a general practice of law in Charleston before being elected to the Charleston County School Board in 1984.

S.C. House of Representatives
Barber served for four years on the Charleston County School Board and from 1986-1988 served as its chairman. In 1988, he was elected into the South Carolina House of Representatives. Serving in the House from 1989-1994, Barber spent time on the Judiciary, Ways and Means, and Operations and Management Committees. In 1993 and 1994, he chaired the Joint Legislative Committee on Energy. In 1994, rather than run for re-election, Barber ran for the U.S. House of Representatives as the Democratic candidate for the First  Congressional District, but lost to a political newcomer named Mark Sanford.

Later career
After leaving the SC House, Barber split his time between running Bowen's Island Seafood Restaurant, which his grandparents founded in the 1940s, and serving as a consultant for a range of predominantly not-for-profit public interest groups. A conservationist, health care advisor, and advocate for the state's elderly population, Barber has attempted to improve the lives of many South Carolinians through his work for organizations such as the South Carolina Wildlife Federation, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, the College of Charleston, the Palmetto Conservation Foundation, the Sierra Club and the Association of Council on Aging Directors.

In 2010, Barber ran for Comptroller General of South Carolina. He lost to Richard Eckstrom, the incumbent.

The Barber Family

Intel has a new concept for a wireless virtual reality headset
Steve Kovach
IntelIntel's Project Alloy VR headset.
Intel, the company best known for making computer chips, is now exploring virtual reality.
The company announced on Tuesday a concept device called Project Alloy, a wireless VR headset that unlike the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, doesn't need to be tethered to a computer to operate.
Alloy is just a prototype now, and it's unlikely Intel will launch a standalone product. Instead, Intel is making Alloy an open hardware platform anyone can use to build VR headsets. It will also work with Windows Holographic, the special version of Windows designed for augmented reality and VR.
Intel has been in a tough spot in recent years as its core PC chip business struggles along with the PC market as a whole. The company already whiffed on its chance to develop mobile processors for phones and tablets, and has started exploring other categories like drones and now VR.

Baker Forsman filly makes winning debut at Te Rapa
Birdsong strides clear for an emphatic debut victory
Impeccably bred youngster Birdsong made a winning debut for the Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman stable when she led all the way over 1200m in the opening event at Te Rapa.
The Snitzel two-year-old had looked promising in her two trial runs before Saturday's contest and with the application of blinkers was primed for a serious first-up effort.
Rider Matt Cameron made good use of an inside barrier to kick the filly into a forward position as she disputed the pace with the Team Rogerson-prepared Roc Cha. With the field struggling in the blustery conditions on offer, Birdsong maintained a powerful gallop in the home straight to score by over two lengths from Roc Cha with Harlech making up good ground to take third.
Co-trainer Andrew Forsman was pleased with the effort by his charge who was a $400,000 purchase for owners, Sunlight Thoroughbreds, from the Pencarrow Stud draft during the Book 1 session at the National Yearling Sale last year.
"It was always the key, whoever got up on pace and she was the one who drew the best," Forsman said.
"She has really improved since the trials and we have put the blinkers on and she has really sharpened up.
"She is a beautiful filly, well bred, and she is only going to get better with time."
Cameron was delighted with the filly's effort after employing the front-running tactics that saw the pair avoid the sand kickback that has been an issue at Te Rapa in recent months.
"That was the key (leading) as there is a lot of sand coming back as the other jocks are covered in it," he said.
"It's good to get these two-year-olds out and in the clear. It might not be the way to ride her but you get away with it first-up."
Bred by Sir Peter Vela's Pencarrow Thoroughbreds, Birdsong is the first foal of the Group Three winning Galileo mare Scintillula who was a runner-up at Group One level while also placing fourth in both the Gr.1 Yorkshire Oaks (2385m) and Gr.1 Irish Oaks (2414m). – NZ Racing Desk

C. Malcolm Watkins Papers
Watkins, C. Malcolm


Spring has sprung, and that means it's time to wake up from your winter dinner-and-a-movie hibernation and go on dates! The air is warmer, the nights are longer, and seasonal allergy medication is available over the counter, so there should be nothing keeping you indoors for yet another weekend.
I checked in with a few friends to find out what spring date ideas they have up their sleeves. Try one with your significant other this weekend!
01. Take a gardening class.
Whether you have a green thumb or not, digging in the dirt for a day provides ample opportunity to goof around and learn something new together. This is an especially good idea for those who live in a city and need a break from the concrete jungle. Look around and I'm sure you will find little community gardens that offer classes or could use a helping hand. Who knows, you may want to go home and start your own garden!
02. Pack a picnic and go for a bike ride.
Instead of hopping in your car, take that long rambling route to a cool picnic spot on your bike. The sunshine and exercise will work up your endorphins and your appetite!
So maybe you are not in the market for a big, beautiful home, but they are sure fun to look at. Grab your guy and make a day of perusing houses open for viewing. It's a great way to get to know your guy's tastes—and share yours!
04. Plan a surprise hike.
Hiking is an excellent date for a budding romance because it offers an easy way to be together without having to talk the whole time or stare into one another's eyes. I don't know about you, but being out in nature also tends to inspire deeper reflection, which in turn inspires conversation about ideas—and, as one gentleman points out, is something guys like to be able to do with the women they date.
Wine tasting at a local vineyard is a great way to soak up the spring season and relax with your man. If the vineyard permits, pack snacks and a deck of cards and find a spot to soak up the sun.
06. Visit the zoo with the kids.
Sure, it's nice to go to the zoo just the two of you, but it is way more fun with kids! If you don't have children of your own, this is a great opportunity to reach out to a friend or sibling with kids and offer to babysit for the day. Create a scavenger hunt for your little zoo group and make it a mission to find everything before you leave—lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!). Seeing him interact with the kiddos is also a great way to get to know your guy more.
07. Do a one-day road trip.
This adventurous date doesn't take too much planning and is a great way to spend quality time getting to know your date. Just pick a spot, rent a car if needed (hello, convertible), pack a lunch, and go! Be sure to roll the windows down, turn up the jams, and take the scenic route.
08. Hit the farmers' market.
A trip to the farmers' market is a great spring expedition with your date. A stroll through the stalls of local produce is a visual feast and you can assemble a lunch date al fresco right there.
09. Try some DIY projects.
Break out your sander, stain, or paintbrush, and enjoy your craft outdoors. You can show your date what you're made of while still giving him a chance to show off his creative side as well.
10. Try anything on water.
As cliche as rowing around in a canoe over languid water might be, it is pretty romantic. Anyway, you don't have to stick to pond gliding. Head out to sea in a sailboat or hit the rapids for a more adventurous approach. Getting wet is a great way to relax and flirt a little with your date.


Have questions about prom tuxedo rentals? We have your answers here! When should I come in to get my prom tuxedo? To be honest, there is not a time that is too early for prom tux shopping. The earlier you come in, the more options you will have. That being said, we like to have a week before your event. Don't have that much time? No worries, we will still have you looking great! But remember the more time the better! How do we match colors with my date's dress? The best way to do this is to have some kind of swatch or piece of fabric from the dress. Ladies are more than welcome to bring their whole dress in, a piece of the fabric or a picture. Pictures are the most difficult, but definitely possible with extra confirmation. We also can change vest colors if a confirmation is necessary after the first visit with no extra charge up to the week before the event! But please ladies, remember they need some guideline for color to have you looking great that evening! How much is this going to cost me? Tuxedos come in a wide range of styles and prices. Our prom special is $50 off any tuxedo package. With your discount included, prom tuxedos can range from $102-$192 including shoes! We also have a great referral program where you can become a prom rep and take an additional $20 off for each referral! A consultant will give more details when picking out your tux. What comes with the rental price? We are pretty much all inclusive as far as rentals for prom night! Your rental always comes with shirt, jacket, pants, long tie or bowtie, vest or cummerbund, studs and cufflinks, and a traditional patent leather shoe! We also have add-ons available for purchase including pocket squares and socks at a minimal charge. All you have to worry about is the underwear! Leave the rest up to us! Do I have to pay in full the day I pick out my tuxedo? No! We do, however, require a minimum down payment of at least $20. Do I have to pick up my own tux or can someone else pick it up for me? We really strongly encourage all people to pick up their own tuxedos and try them on in the shop. We are a local business and are able to check to make sure everything is perfect before you leave our store. Last minute alterations can be done in-house in a jiff! When do I have to bring the tuxedo back to you? Most rentals we need back next day. However, for all Saturday proms you are able to relax and not worry about returning your tuxedo until Monday and anyone can bring it back for you! Why should I get my prom tux from Brighton Tux Shop? We are the all inclusive shop for all your men's formal wear needs! We have a friendly staff and are family owned and operated. We focus on customer service and make sure everything about your experience is easy and accommodating. Your happiness is our number one priority. Aside from great service, you get a large selection and more tuxedos to see in person then at your big warehouse shop.

Compared to other formal wear stores, we most often have a lower price point and great quality, making sure you are getting exactly what you pay for and nothing less! Overall we try to be best there is, making your decision to visit us an easy one!

Being a DIMWIT comes natural for me.
While relaxing and watching TV earlier today, I saw a movie trailer and I thought, "I have to make one of those." It didn't matter that I don't have a movie. I just wanted to make a trailer and I had a couple hours to mess around with it. So here is the DIMWIT Movie Trailer - an ALL MY DONUTS film.
I'd like to thank Chuck for bringing over his tripod and being the cameraman for this trailer. After an hour of filming, Chuck had enough and he had to go. Then, it was time for editing. Here's the finished product.
It's stupid, it's silly, but it was fun to make. Who knows when I'll make another. For now, share the DIMWIT Movie Trailer - an ALL MY DONUTS film with your friends.

These 15 Cities Have the Most Homeless People in America
Trisha Phillips
In 2017, the United States homeless population was estimated to include 553,742 people on any given night. This number includes adults and veterans living on the streets, as well as children and families living in shelters.
Overall, homelessness in America has decreased by 13% from 2010 to 2017, but the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development believe a substantial amount of work still remains in order to eradicate the epidemic. From a nationwide standpoint, these 15 cities have the most homeless people in America. First, we'll list the 10 major cities with the largest homeless populations, then highlight five smaller cities where homelessness is also a major problem.
10. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

5,693 homeless people
Of the nearly 400,000 Philadelphians living below the poverty line, 5,693 are homeless. The kicker is, the city has less than 4,000 beds to house the homeless.
Misty Sparks of the Bethesda Project explains, "We don't have enough. I don't think anyone should ever have to sleep outside, but if every homeless individual wanted to come into shelter on a given night, we would not have enough beds." The city is actively working to create more space for its homeless population with hopes of getting everyone off the streets.

9. Boston, Massachusetts

Believe or not, many United States citizens are only a few paychecks away from being homeless. To that end, tragedy and natural disasters can displace even the most prosperous of individuals. Massachusetts has nearly 18,000 homeless people, 6,135 of them residing in shelters and the streets of Boston. Statewide, that number has doubled since 1990, families and children accounting for over half of the state's homeless population.
Next: The lure of promise leads to poverty in this city.
8. Las Vegas, Nevada

It's easy to imagine the root cause of the homelessness problem in Sin City. So many well-off individuals find themselves in the depths of despair after falling into the thick of their gambling addiction. Unfortunately for many, the lure of possibility ends in losing everything — family, homes — and leading them into deeper addiction and drug use. Las Vegas has a major bed shortage, leaving the homeless population to fend on the streets.
Next: Taxpayers in this city are paying to ship the homeless around the country.

Despite the good work of homeless relocation programs, taxpayers in San Francisco (and other American cities) aren't experiencing any real benefits from the programs. California has the largest homeless population in the United States — 134,278. The programs for relocation are created to provide hope and a better life for the homeless, yet many of them inevitably return to San Francisco, living right back on the streets they hoped to escape.
Next: Another California city topping the charts.
6. San Jose, California

Let's face it, if you're going to be homeless, California is not a bad place to do it. But the truth is, not every person who is considered "homeless" is jobless. Some of San Jose's homeless population are part of the working class — think teachers with children — who simply cannot afford the high price of housing. Some lost everything because of wildfires. As San Jose works to remedy its homelessness issue, the real problem is once again a lack of beds.

The District of Columbia has made big efforts to house its homeless population, yet the numbers have fluctuated. The city was excited to report an 11% decline in the number of people living on the streets from 2016, but the 2017 number remains higher than that of 2015. Regardless, Mayor Muriel E. Bowser recognizes that "These results show that our efforts to prevent homelessness and connect more residents to safe and affordable shelter are paying off."

San Diego's homeless population has been climbing for the past few years, however, its all-time high of over 10,000 people in 2010 has yet to happen again. Of this year's 9,160, nearly half are living on the streets, not shelters. Even though the solution to this problem seems straightforward — just build more shelters — President and Chief Executive of San Diego's Housing Authority sees it differently. Richard Gentry explains, "There's no one solution to a problem that's caused by a number of factors. Some just need shelter. Others need a variety of services."

Housing shortages in Seattle and King County, Washington, have left almost 12,000 people homeless, living in squalor. According to the Seattle Times, if the number of homeless people doesn't continue to climb, the county would need an annual budget increase of $410 million just to get the ball rolling on the affordable housing demands that could solve the problem. Otherwise, people will continue to live in tent cities.

Homelessness in Los Angeles has become more and more of a crisis over the last six years, and the numbers don't lie. Since 2012, the numbers have swelled by 75%. The problem has become so overwhelming that voters have agreed to increase taxation by $4.6 billion in order to build the housing necessary to alleviate the epidemic. As it currently stands, the city is in the bottom percentile for homeless sheltering.

Of New York's 89,503 homeless population, nearly 90 percent live in New York City. Officials are well aware of the problem, along with failed attempts to solve it. While relocation projects have assisted some individuals and families in getting back on their feet, the most recent initiative, "Project Reconnect" is hoping to remedy the problem. Project Reconnect will pay for 12 months worth of housing for any family who has been registered as homeless for at least three months and are willing to move outside the five boroughs of the city.

It's hard to imagine the wine country of Sonoma County has a homelessness problem, but it's true. And the 2017 wildfires certainly didn't help the situation. For the county's largest city, any chance of the homeless receiving housing in Santa Rosa has never looked so barren. Of the city's housing, the fires wiped out 5% of it, leaving already homeless individuals in a highly competitive market.

Both Nassau and Suffolk counties on New York's Long Island have seen an influx in homeless populations. Joan Noguera, Executive Director of Nassau-Suffolk Coalition for the Homeless, told the New York Times that "I've seen an upward trend and I am concerned about it." Because the homeless are able to spread out more, camping in parks and on beaches, the problem is more "camouflaged."

Homeless encampments line the Santa Ana River Trail in Santa Ana, California, and local officials are fed up. Although a lawsuit was put into action in order to remove the homeless and clean up the river trail, the problem will inevitably be moved to another area, not solved.

Preliminary Release Date for
All-New X-60 Conversion!
X Factory announces November 1 as the preliminary release date for the X – 60 Conversion. The new X – 60 will convert an AE T4 truck to mid-motor similar to the popular X – 6 buggy. These photos, taken at the recent ROAR National Championships, are detail shots of chief engineer Paul Sinclair's New Math truck.
Photos show several interesting aspects of the new truck: First, the mold for the rear control arms is done, and the Team is using production prototype arms. Since the beginning of testing, not a single graphite arm has failed, so this part of the X – 60 program is complete. Second, X Factory has decided to go with a carbon fiber battery strap instead of the current molded strap. The new strap will be similar to the one shown on Paul's truck, but the X Factory logo will be cut into the CF rather than a stick-on decal.
X Factory president Chazz said, "We are closing in on it, and the release date is looking more and more doable. All the decisions have been finalized and now it's a matter of making the parts and giving them a final test to make sure they're OK." Chazz continued, "There are lots of potential stumbling blocks between now and release, but this project has been going more smoothly than anything we've done before, so I hope we can meet November first.
"The chassis mold is about one quarter done, and we hope to have production prototype chassies before the end of this month. The Boyz will start testing immediately, of course, but that will allow us to move forward on many other things. We'll finalize the body at that point, an entire new design from one of the top body manufacturers that you're going to love. And we'll begin writing the instruction manual, which is never a simple task."
Engineer Paul Sinclair added, "I'm converting Brian's final hand-made CF shock tower into C.A.D. right now, and the battery strap will be finished right after that. So those items can go to the shop in Phoenix for full production and they should be ready by October 15th. We'll be able to put full production arms, tower, and battery strap on the production prototype chassies."
Once the first bodies are completed, photos can be taken for the box label, and printing can begin. "We'll be very busy the next 6 weeks, and everything must go like clockwork. Any hitch can delay the project. But I hope Brian Kinwald can run a full production X – 60, including the new body, at the Reedy Race in late October and to be able to ship the first trucks soon after returning to the office."

SEC Investigating Valeant, Pershing's Pursuit of Allergan — Sources
Liz Hoffman and Jean Eaglesham broke the news that the Securities and Exchange Commission was investigating the joint pursuit by Valeant Pharmaceuticals and Pershing Square to acquire Allergan to see if there were any potential breaches of insider trading laws. The inquiry is in the early stages and may not lead to any enforcement action, according to sources. In June, Valeant and Pershing Square launched a hostile tender offer, taking their bid directly to shareholders. They are currently seeking to call a special meeting of Allergan shareholders and replace a majority of the board.
The story as it appeared on Dow Jones:
Aug. 14, 2014, 1:16 PM EDT: SEC Investigating Valeant And Pershing Square's Joint Pursuit Of Allergan — Sources
1:26 PM EDT: SEC Investigating Valeant, Pershing's Pursuit of Allergan
By Liz Hoffman And Jean Eaglesham
Federal regulators are looking into whether a hostile offer jointly pursued by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. and activist investor William Ackman to acquire Allergan Inc. violates securities laws, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Securities and Exchange Commission civil probe is focused on potential breaches of insider trading laws, one of the people said. The inquiry is at a relatively early stage and may not lead to any enforcement action, the person added.
Regulators often look closely at novel or unusual developments in the market, and many investigations go nowhere.
Mr. Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management LP earlier this year bought 9.7% of Allergan with the understanding that Valeant would seek to buy the company, an unusual alliance of corporate bidder and activist investor. The pair has said their efforts are legal.
"We are confident that the trading was completely lawful," Valeant said in a statement Thursday.
Valeant's cash-and-stock bid, unveiled in April and boosted twice since then to $53 billion, has been rebuffed by Allergan as too low and risky. In June, Valeant and Pershing Square launched a hostile tender offer, taking their bid directly to shareholders. They are currently seeking to call a special meeting of Allergan shareholders and replace a majority of the board.
Legal experts have said the team-up, though unorthodox, appears to be legal. Valeant and Mr. Ackman, who signed their agreement in February, have said they hadn't taken any substantial steps toward a hostile tender offer at the time the trades were made. Federal law prohibits investors from buying shares of a company they know will be the target of a tender offer from a third party.
"At the time of the merger proposal to Allergan on April 22, neither Valeant nor Pershing Square had taken any steps whatsoever regarding a tender offer," a Pershing Square representative said Thursday. "There is nothing illegal, unethical or improper in taking a toehold position before a merger is proposed, even if it is not wanted by the target's management. We welcome the SEC's review of the facts."
Allergan last month sued Valeant and Pershing Square in federal court, accusing them of insider trading and other federal securities-law violations. Valeant and Pershing Square called the suit's claims baseless.

First of all you got to ask "What happens with ORDER BY RAND() in a Query?" and understand it.
The MySQL Database will query for all the rows you requested and filter out those that don't match from WHERE, JOIN conditions etc. Then all rows will be in memory or in a temporary table. Then the RAND() will be replaced with a random number and attached to each row. After this, the set can be sorted ascending or descending. And then the LIMIT will be used. Using temporary tables is really bad because this causes a lot of problems and is not performant at all.
What happens when I delete rows?
What if I want more than one row?
The first question seems rather easy, right? Just query as long as you don't get a row. But this isn't the best solution!
The trick is to create a MySQL PROCEDURE that fills a temporary table with rows containing random IDs that are returned to the user. But then we would have the same problem: What if the ID didn't exist or it exists twice in our temporary table?
Create a temporary table to save random IDs and make the ID a UNIQUE KEY.
You might ask: What happens if I insert an ID twice? The solution is simple: The error handler will recursively call our procedure. This way the UNIQUE KEY will make sure no ID is inserted twice and another ID is selected in this case.
Note: "2" means the number of collisions here. So make sure to increase this value for larger tables.
The second one 35 seconds and the average was at about 25 seconds.
This small piece of code now calls our procedure in the background and only takes about 0,034 seconds!
This small example shows you how to quickly query for rows. And it is very easy to extend this to query for even more columns.
* @param boolean $return Query for the results?
This should give you a good idea on how to avoid using MySQL's ORDER BY RAND(). I appreciate any kind of feedback.

This has been very helpful; but I'm noticing that i often don't get the desired count when executing, this occurs when the SELECT set has limited rows, maybe less than 25. Is there a way to resolve this?
Which SELECT are you actually talking about?

To develop a workflow for the automatic recognition of place and person names (Named Entity Recognition), T.M.M.M.T. combines two research approaches:
NER for historical texts
The pipeline performs Named Entity Recognition (NER) in two steps: (1) a specialised NER step based on, in simple terms, comparisons between tokens and pre-built lists of place and person names, and (2) NER as part of the part-of-speech tagging step.

Parents who smoke cigarettes around their kids in cars and homes beware – second-hand smoke may trigger symptoms of nicotine dependence in children.
The findings are published in the September edition of the journal Addictive Behaviors in a joint study from nine Canadian institutions.
"Increased exposure to second-hand smoke, both in cars and homes, was associated with an increased likelihood of children reporting nicotine dependence symptoms, even though these children had never smoked," says Dr. Jennifer O'Loughlin, senior author of the study, a professor at the Université de Montréal's Department of Social and Preventive Medicine and a researcher at the Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal.
"These findings support the need for public health interventions that promote non-smoking in the presence of children, and uphold policies to restrict smoking in vehicles when children are present," adds Dr. O'Loughlin, who collaborated with researchers from the Université de Sherbrooke, the Université de Moncton, the University of British Columbia, McGill University, Concordia University and the Institut national de santé publique du Québec.
Study participants were recruited from 29 Quebec schools as part of AdoQuest, a cohort investigation that measures tobacco use and other health-compromising behaviours. Some 1,800 children aged 10 to 12 years old, from all socioeconomic levels, were asked to complete questionnaires on their health and behaviours. Researchers also asked questions about symptoms of nicotine dependence and exposure to second-hand smoke.
"Nicotine dependence symptoms among young never smokers exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke," from Addictive Behaviors, was authored by Mathieu Bélanger (Université de Sherbrooke and Université de Moncton), Jennifer O'Loughlin (Université de Montréal and Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal), Louise Guyon (Institut national de santé publique du Québec), André Gervais (Direction de santé publique de Montréal), Jennifer J. McGrath (Concordia University), Chizimuzo T.C. Okoli (University of British Columbia) and Maninder Setia (McGill University).
