The discerning citizenry there vote for Obama twice and normally votes democrat. She obviously thought they would vote for her because she took them for granted.
Absolutely her moronic campaign lost it there. Any election expert will tell you the same thing. 1. she barely lost there. she probably didn't even need to win over voters that traditionally distrusted her. She just needed to get angry Bernie voters and lackadaisical liberal voters to the polling place. She lost by 0.23% in Michigan. By 0.72% in Pennsylvania. By 0.77% in Wisconsin. That is turnout. Any positive for her would have changed those results. Her campaigns have been uniquely incompetent over the years. 2. She was uniquely hated in the Midwest. Polls indicate that just about any other democrat would have won easily. We can attribute that to sexism and there certainly was some of that. But it ignores the fact that as First Lady she publicly demonstrated disdain for women staying at home and basically made statements crapping over their way of life. She never adequately showed remorse or made up to them. 3. I think Bill was a good president. I think Hillary would have made a good president. But their arrogance is off the charts. She knew the day she dropped out of the race in 2008 that she was running in 2016. As someone who was prepping to run for president, the email server thing was moronic. The whole set up of the Clinton foundation and the donations they got was incredible and if the republicans hadn't seized on emails they would have seized on that. They send a clear message - we can do whatever the eff we want and you will vote for us anyway. As an Obama supporter in 2008, I resented how she and her campaign looked down their nose at him and his supporters the whole way and she, her supporters, and her campaign acted as if he and his supporters had no right to take the nomination away from her. There was even a "things are so bad for women they'll even vote for the black guy" complaint flying not so under the radar. I voted for Hillary in the primary, relatively enthusiastically, but every time I'd be close to getting gung ho about her campaign, she'd do something that would remind me what arrogant jackasses they are. If at any point in their lives the Clinton's stopped acting like they could get away with any damn thing they pleased, she would have won.
In 2000, I swore up and down that there was no way Ralph Nader would cost Gore the election. When I saw the results in Florida, I had to eat my words. Not that it was Nader's responsibility, but yes, when the numbers are that small, any little thing costs a candidate an election. Barely campaigning in those states while letting Trump to run with his message without opposition lost her the election.
Warren does not have on her record looking down on "baking cookies" and "standing by her man". I have no illusion that there aren't a lot of people in those states who may never vote for a woman or who may never vote for a woman like Warren, but I think there is about 95% overlap between those people and those who would never have voted for a democrat.
I think democrats will make a huge mistake if they do not make Joe Biden earn this nomination. We may forgive the gaffes, the lack of ground game, the lack of a message other than smiling and saying Obama, but it won't be forgiven in the general election. He may be the best candidate, but he better earn that. Warren (who is not my first choice at the moment) is energetic, passionate, and has a message. Right now Biden reminds me of the lines When Harry Met Sally where Sally says "I think I just miss the idea of Joe." and Harry says "Maybe I just miss the idea of Helen. No. I'm pretty sure I miss the whole Helen." I think democrats like the idea of Biden. I don't know that they like the whole Biden.
If Biden keeps being as pathetic as he has been at times, I think we might see a Harris resurgence. Most of her problem is that much of the African American vote that has her as their number one choice are going for Biden because they think he has a better chance of winning. Neither Sanders or Warren are popular in the African American community (though they are not hated). That is a huge voting block that is largely keeping Biden ahead. A lot of democrats are not thrilled with Sanders and Warren as the candidate and if Biden plummets, as I think is possible (not saying probable, but possible) they will be looking for another candidate.
To sum up, I think ANY of the candidates on the debate stage with the exception of Buttigieg (I think he would be a disaster running against Trump) would have won those states in 2016 so can win in 2020.

Agreed. This is why I don't get the hand-wringing over Democrats "blowing it" if they don't let Biden win. If Joe Biden is actually the best candidate, then he should be able to beat the other Democratic contenders. If he can't, then he's not the best.
We tried letting Hillary cruise to the nomination and it resulted in her losing to Trump, because she was too complacent (or at least that is part of the reason).
In reply to OaktownBear • 12:21p, 8/30/19
She just needed to get angry Bernie voters
The myth that "angry Bernie voters" cost her the election just won't die.
Look at how soft Bernie's support is this year compared to the last primary and it becomes clear that a lot of his voters were never Bernie supporters at all. They were just "anybody but Hillary" voters and he was the only other viable option.
"Anybody but Hillary" voters aren't going to vote for Hillary just because she won the democratic primary, they're going to keep doing what they do, which is vote for anyone but Hillary. There was no way to court those people. The actual Bernie supporters voted for Hillary.
I'm sorry, I don't think you meant to misrepresent what I said, but if you were going to cut my statement mid sentence, why didn't you just stop after angry and claim I said she lost because she didn't get mad. I didn't say that angry Bernie voters cost her the election. I said that if she had just gotten some more angry Bernie voters and complacent liberals to the polling place she would have won. That is an and. I never said Bernie voters would have on their own put her over the top.
I disagree with your second paragraph. The polling from 2016 showed Bernie's voters to be very enthusiastically pro-Bernie. Of course there were some, as in any election, who were voting against Hillary. But that was not the bulk of his support.
As for his polling, 1. It is not 2016. The Feel the Bern moment has somewhat passed. 2. There is a large field of candidates. 3. Warren is philosophically very close to Bernie and has been viewed so as far back as 2016. She has taken a lot of his support. If you add the two, they are at about Bernie's numbers in 2016. She is not an old white dude. She is as passionate as he is, but she actually has practical explanations for how she is going to do things while Bernie continues to yada yada the best part. And she's actually a democrat. There are good reasons for people who love Bernie to move to Warren.
This is about numbers. Hillary lost by 23K votes in Wisconsin. I stand by my statement that she could make up that difference by getting out some angry Bernie voters and complacent liberals. She barely campaigned in the state. A lot of her campaign was to basically belittle Trump's chances which only served to depress her vote. I would say the easiest group where she lost low hanging fruit votes that would have turned those states were Democrats who hated her, thought she was a sure thing, so they stayed home to get the benefit of her winning without soiling themselves by casting a vote for her.
Yes there were other groups that weren't going to vote for her that played a bigger part in the overall election, but she lost because she blew it in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Obama won all three states handily. Democrats won Michigan and Pennsylvania 6 straight times and Wisconsin 7. There has been little change in the demographics (some favoring democrats). She blew it. Fact is, her campaign didn't even conceive of a loss overall or in those states. Trump got them to take their eye off the ball by challenging the legitimacy of the election before it took place and got them to try to run up the score in traditionally red states, none of which flipped.
Fair enough. I've read so much "it was the Bernie bros" fault stuff that I thought we were heading down that road again.
Warren is philosophically very close to Bernie and has been viewed so as far back as 2016. She has taken a lot of his support. If you add the two, they are at about Bernie's numbers in 2016. She is not an old white dude.
She's 70 years old. She's not exactly young.
She is as passionate as he is, but she actually has practical explanations for how she is going to do things while Bernie continues to yada yada the best part. And she's actually a democrat. There are good reasons for people who love Bernie to move to Warren.
Actually a democrat is probably the least of the reasons to like her, especially now that she's courting all the "business as usual" powerful Democrats for support in anticipation of catching and passing Biden. I want to see if she actually believes her own rhetoric or if she's just another Harvard liberal who says the right things, but comes from a university that has placed most of our Supreme Court justices (including the conservatives), is actively taking money from oil companies right now to produce questionable climate science, and places lots of people in the investment banking sector. Bernie, for whatever his faults may be, actually stands for what he believes in and doesn't waver. And presidents can very easily move the direction of the country without a clear idea of how to make it happen legislatively. Look at all the destruction Trump has wrought. He doesn't have a clue how to realistically make anything happen politically.
Ralph Nader -- now there's a person the Dems should embrace (or rather should have).
He lost a couple of elections for Dems but he is a very bright man and a truth speaker.

1. Being an old white lady isn't a branding problem in the Democratic party right now.
2. On the last point, I get that is your opinion, but it isn't mine. I'm actually a democrat too. Let me start by saying I love SENATOR Sanders. When he announced he was running in 2016, I told my wife pundits were underestimating the crazy, socialist, independent from tiny Vermont. Bernie had been the darling of liberal radio and television for years. Liberals already loved him. I knew he would get votes.
I love how Bernie fights for the little guy. I love how he fights against big money running our government. It is a fight we need to have. And I love him being in the Senate arguing for those positions. And I ended up voting for Clinton because the President is a practical position that requires a leader who actually know how to do things. I don't think Bernie does. He is great at identifying problems. He is great at pie in the sky solutions. But yes, he yada yadas the best part pretty much all of the time. I love that he is there arguing for a free education. I don't see that he has any plan that remotely makes that work.
As "actually a Democrat", I very much cheer on those that try to fight the powers that be on the economy. Money and lobbyist rule government policy way too much. At the end of the day, however, I am with the center left Democrats on the economy which I will shorthand as putting in place policies that largely attempt to benefit and grow the middle class. I am not anti-corporation. I am anti corporate influence. If you actually work with people in the corporate world, what you will find is that there are plenty of liberals in that world. There are plenty of corporate leaders who are against policies that give undue benefit to corporations. They will take it because they have to in order to be competitive, but they will argue and lobby against it. That said, they also know something about how the economy works. IMO, just like most of the ideas from the far right are not economically sound, many of the ideas on the economy from the far left are not either.
I do not want to see a candidate that is universally loved by corporate America. However, I do not want to see one that is universally hated by them either. I know too many people in corporate America that believe in economic justice. If you can't get anyone from that group on your side, I question the soundness of your economic policies. So, for me, Warren's previous failure to get any support whatsoever from any corporate sources is not a plus. It is a minus. For that reason I have been in the Harris camp early. Warren gaining some traction with SOME corporate sources is a positive to me.
I'm against conservative economic policies because I think they are largely very bad policies. The historical stock market performance bears this out (and "bears" would be the key word when it comes to Republicans running things). I also think they their policies are socially unjust. But if trickle down actually worked rather than being a laughable fantasy, hey, I might go for it in a rising tide lifts all boats kind of way. But in my opinion, policies that benefit the middle class leads to more education, more home purchases, and more investment in nice stable kinds of things that grow our economy rather than providing sugar highs.

Another Texas Republican Bill Flores has decided to not run for reelection bring the total to 5. This maybe the one that makes the most sense as Clinton won his district and with the Idiot in Chief laying waste to democratic norms, it was going to be a heavy lift for Flores.

No no, you don't get it Sycasey.
Trump won the election with the 46th (out of 58) highest electoral college percentage in the entire history of US elections. To his supporters, that means landslide.
And any talk of losing the popular vote by multiple percentage points hinting that it might not have been a landslide is commie SJW treason, buddy.

Not as splashy a talker, but I can trust her, she wouldn't cause backlash in the wacko right, and she's moderate enough to cause some political stability in this country.
Other candidates I can think of would be too left or too non-wasp (unfortunate) to be that.
She's very descent. How are "they" gonna attack her? I'm so sick of the wacko right - wanna make them shut up, or migrate toward the norm. She just made the case for that on Meet The Press.
Klobuchar is the one candidate that is closest to Hilary Clinton in temperament and personality, not a very likeable person. That's a big part of the reason she failed to get any traction. In comparison, Warren is feisty, but she doesn't feel like someone who will throw large objects at her staff in a fit of rage.
I think Warren is it. She has the policy stuff down. She's likable enough and not offensive...the opposite of Trump, but not an old guy like Biden with a bloody eyeball. Trump can't compete with Warren on policy and knowledge, she'll run circles around him.
Most of all however is the Pocahontas reference didn't stick and now if he uses it, he'll be branded a racist. Two press reports is his campaign is worried about that. Trump recoiled fast and furiously from the race bating after the polls showed American really hate that shtt, going after the squad and civil rights icon John Lewis. He played that hand early and gave it away.
Shouldn't all the state primary elections be on the same day just like the general election? Otherwise the early states basically set the tone on who which candidates are in play
That would be a terrible idea, it would further exacerbate the premium on advertising and money, which already are too big a factor as it is.
The current system, starting with small states like Iowa and NH, helps candidates distinguish themselves, showcasing their political skills and platforms by canvassing smaller venues, which evens out a little bit the financial factor.
I think there is an argument for mixing up which states go first, but yes, I agree that having a series of primaries over a period of time allows candidates to distinguish themselves and gain or lose ground on the strength of their campaigns. If everything is decided on one day, then money and name recognition become too important.
Many of them drop out due to initial results from early states. The back half of the states may not have the final 2 as their top 2 choices. They've been campaigning for a year. They've got plenty of time to make their mark.
Nice lawless death threat from this Texas rep.
Hmm, maybe I should vote for Beto.
Julian Castro's attack on Biden's comments regarding the health care plan for those who can't afford health care insurance was mistaken and more importantly was flat out wrong. When the transcript was read back to him by Chris Matthews instead of owning the mistake Castro tried to trump it and ended up ****ting the bed. It wasn't a good look.
I hope I'm one of the 10 families Yang gives $12,000 to.

Q: XPath: "string list" except "string"? I am using XPath together with XSLT (both version 2.0). I'd like to get a list of strings except for a single string:
<xsl:param name="lang" select="'de'"/>
<xsl:variable name="all-languages" select="('en','de','fr')"/>
<xsl:variable name="other-languages" select="$all-languages except $lang "/>

For a documentation project, I'd like to generate the documentation in $lang and link to all other languages. So it would be nice to get (in the example above) $other-languages to ('de','fr') and use <xsl:for-each> to iterate over the languages except for the string in $lang.
except seems to work only for nodes. What is the nicest solution for the problem?

A: Simpler and more efficient:
$all-languages[. ne $lang]

A: Removing the language from all-languages, seems to be a good idea:
remove($all-languages, index-of($all-languages, $lang)))

Football Professional | Gibfootballtalk meet Europa FC´s Carrasco brothers
Recently GFT had the opportunity to meet with Dimas and David Carrasco. Twin Brothers from Seville, who have dedicated their lives to football. A charismatic duo who have worked, lived and breathed football together their whole lives, and due to their experience and enthusiasm managed to make the encounter fly by. They have arrived together in Gibraltar to take the reigns at Europa FC as Manager and Assistant Manager. Here is what they had to say to us:
FOOTBALL TRAJECTORY
Carrasco's: "We have lived in Córdoba, Madrid and the United States all as players. As football managers we have lived mainly in Seville and had a six month spell at Bristol City FC. We received an offer to come to Gibraltar about one month ago which at first scared us slightly, not knowing much about Gibraltar, but as soon as we met up with the relevant people we were reassured and a feeling of confidence took over."
FIRST CONTACT WITH EUROPA FC
Carrasco's: "We received a call from Juanjo Gallardo, Sporting director at Club Atletico Zabal in La Linea de la Concepcion, who told us that there was a club in Gibraltar who had heard about us and knows of our professionalism and wants to structure the club in this professional manor throughout. He set up a meeting with the Directors of Europa FC which we attended and found to be very positive in their directional views. We set our own conditions which the club are eagerly abiding by, and so we decided to shake hands and put pen to paper."
PREVIOUS CLUBS
Carrasco's: "We spent our last stint as players at Tennessee Eagles, Knoxville, Tennessee, United States of America. Since then our main role has been as assistant managers and physical coaches at Sevilla Atletico. We have also, at times, helped as physical coaches at the Sevilla FC first team where we were very actively involved with Frederick Kanoute's recuperation from an injury. During this period we were offered a grant by the Federacion Andalusa de Futbol, which saw us stay with Bristol City FC for a six month period, which we embraced as an adventure and an opportunity to learn the English language. After six months Bristol City FC were very happy with us and made us an offer to stay with them, we had to refuse as we couldn't be offered a first team role due to the language barrier."
TACTICAL STYLE
Carrasco's "We plan to carry the initiative of every game through keeping possession. Whether we play down the middle or wide on the flanks we will concentrate on remaining in the driving seat by means of possession. Defensively we will be very intense and remain aggressive. That is the plan, whether it works or not shall be seen, but if it doesn't at first then it won't be a problem, as correcting this is the reason for our arrival."
OBJECTIVES FOR EUROPA FC
Carrasco's: "Firstly to completely professionalise the club in all aspects and make Europa FC the main club of reference for Gibraltar football where in the future we hope to attract international players, both Gibraltarian and from abroad. The club was slightly worried that as previous managers we would not pay enough attention to the junior football categories. We have reassured them that in our case this is our main focus rather than just a side job. If we can turn the four or five local players which we currently have into perhaps eleven or twelve in the next few years we will have taken a step forward, especially if those players are then selected for the Gibraltar National team." When asked about the criticism the club had faced locally regarding for not breeding enough local talent, both agreed this was an issue they wanted to address. "Yes, we are aware and this is what we plan to change over the next few years."
CHRISTIAN TONCHEFF DEPARTURE TO MANCHESTER 62 FC
Carrasco's "He's a very good player who receives the ball well with his back to goal and always makes the best of that type of attacking football. However we plan to change the attacking style of this team to one which thrives more on possession and less on that direct manor of getting the ball forward. Therefore we have signed Pedro Carrion from Atletico Sanluqueño who we consider a more appropriate striker for our plans. Quicker and more involved with building up attacking play. Toncheff is a great striker but we are looking for other characteristics."
SIGNING OF JUANJO 'EL BICHO' BEZARES
Carrasco's "We see him as a leader and father figure which will positively impact the dressing room. He has lined up against players of the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldinho, and his experience will vastly help the other players. He will pose the question to younger players, "If I can prepare appropriately and perform at age 35, then why wouldn't you be able to do the same?" His character is also very dominant and he involves himself with preparations, which will no doubt make our lives easier."
KNOWLEDGE ON FOOTBALL IN GIBRALTAR
Carrasco's: "We had prior knowledge of Gibraltar football obviously through the recent news of the last couple of years. However we had already made contact with Europa FC last year when promoting the signing of Juan Carlos Delgado, now a central defender at Europa FC. We also personally know the owner of Gibraltar Scorpions FC who is also from Seville. Most recently we have been following Lincoln FC's exploits within the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds."
LINCOLN FC'S RECENT EUROPEAN SUCCESS
Carrasco's: "We are avid supporters of any team which enlarges Gibraltar's international recognition. We believe that this will raise the general level of football in Gibraltar, not to mention the benefit of an extra European spot which could come to Gibraltar as a reward."
ANNUAL JUNIOR FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT
Carrasco's: "Apart from our professional career as coaches and managers we run our own website which is dedicated to Andalucian Junior Football in a very general sense. It covers all age groups from under 7's to pre senior categories. We organise tournaments and also run annual training camps at centres of excellence, giving the kids the chance to excel and be spotted. This way we manage to keep a close eye on those kids who carry positive inertia through their development. The main fruits of these efforts can be found at Sevilla Atletico where many of the young players who have developed with us are waiting to make the jump to the Sevilla FC first team."
PLANS FOR JUNIOR FOOTBALL IN GIBRALTAR
Carrasco's: "The main reason we have come to Gibraltar is to develop the Junior Football categories of Europa FC. Of course we will also take charge of the senior team. Ideally we would want our first team players to carry the junior players upwards towards the first team and eventually Gibraltar's national team. We must raise the professionalism of the club in all departments, leading eventually to a higher standard of football in Gibraltar as a whole."
With this brought to a conclusion a delightful and pleasant evening where we are left with nothing but a sense of growth and ambition at Europa FC. Certainly it seems that they have chosen the correct personalities to take the helm. Experience beyond their years, overflowing with passion for the beautiful game and a sense of openness, recognising the current limitations of tiny Gibraltar and embracing these as their next chapter of challenges in a life driven by football.
Our best wishes go out to the Carrasco brothers and all at Europa FC. To follow more about the work the Carrasco's do in Andalucia, visit their website: Futbolcarrasco.com

CM10 development for Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
Without much ado I am presenting you this repo for CM10 that lets you build somewhat functional CM10 ROM for Kindle Fire HD 8.9".
Build instructions (assuming you met all other CM10 build dependencies).
Step 0; Connect kindle to your computer, have android sdk installed and adb and fastboot in the path.
Step 1: (very important) Back up raw partitions from kindle responsible for recovery, boot and system.
adb shell su -c "chmod 777 /dev/block/*"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/data/local/tmp/stack of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot bs=6519488 seek=1"
adb shell su -c "chmod 777 /cache"
adb shell su -c "echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro"
adb shell su -c "echo -n 3 | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 bs=1 count=1 seek=4104"
This last command will stop waiting for the fastboot device to appear. Do not unplug the kindle from USB.
You'll see a "fastboot mode" on the screen and fastboot command started earlier will finally finish after writing the image onto the kindle.
Step 3: In CWM recovery, do install from sdcard and install the cm-10...zip file we transferred in the previous step.
the /data/ settings from stock amazon install are not compatible with CM10, but (very important)Do not reformat /data/ and /cache from CWM, this will result in a corrupted filesystem due to 3.0.21 kernel currently used by amazon not having necessary fs features!!!
adb shell "rm -r /data/*"
Step 4: Now, installation is complete, you may reboot and it will bring you to your freshly-installed CM10 - enjoy.
(note by default this CM10 install starts with adb disabled, so you'll need to enable it in settings again).
Step 1: Remember where did you put those backups from step 1 during install.
Now either connect a powered off kindle, or reboot an already connected kindle.
Now you are back to factory stock.
- probably some other stuff I have not noticed yet.
Please do send in your patches/fixes.
Very cool, I'm gonna give this a try when I get some time tomorrow.
These are some amazing news!
Thanks a lot, verygreen. You are doing a really importaint thing. In my country no amazon services work, so the stock ROM is the biggest problem with Kindle 8.9.
Looking forward for the next builds!
Sorry if this is a stupid/annoying/heard it a million times please shut up already question, but does this mean anything the 7" variant?
Eventually, this will translate to the Kindle Fire HD 7" as well.
So, can you tell us what is the status of the build right now? What works fine, what doesn't? When can we see the first build to test?
Thanks for your answers and best regards!
"The next release will be ready when it is released and not until."
I'm assuming that with CM10, you won't be able to use all the special Amazon services like Amazon videos, lending library, etc. Doesn't that take away the whole point of buying a Kindle fire HD?

What are Gateway Drugs?
The Gateway Drug Hypothesis
The term "gateway drugs" is a common saying when talking about addiction. But what does it mean?
The saying stemmed from the gateway hypothesis, which refers to a pattern of substance abuse early on in an individual's life using legal substances like nicotine and alcohol, which then contributes to the progressive use of more illicit drugs like cocaine and heroin.
Drug exposure as an adolescent is one of the most important variables when it comes to altering the subsequent sensitivity to a particular substance later in life. Meaning, abusing legal substances at such a young age can greatly affect the individual's life as they age.
There are arguments that external factors lead to this progression of substance abuse and therefore, making the term "gateway drug" controversial.
Of the many factors that may lead to drug abuse and addiction the environment, underlying health issues, as well as genetics are some of the most common factors. It is also important to know your family history of addiction since there could be added risks.
How Drugs Affect the Brain
A gateway drug alters the neuropathways in the brain. The science that happens during this can be confusing and difficult to understand. However, what is important to know is that drugs can change the chemicals in your brain.
For example, drugs like cocaine, release serotonin and dopamine in your brain. The sum of prolonged use of these drugs can lead to changes in your brain and can presumably trigger the long-term effects of the drugs that eventually lead to abuse, dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal.
Drugs produce a feeling of pleasure more so than that of natural rewards because drugs release more dopamine into the person's brain. This leaves the person feeling unsatisfied by natural releases of dopamine due to the overabundance experienced when using drugs.
This can cause the person to feel lifeless and depressed because they can't enjoy things that they previously enjoyed.
What Drugs are Considered Gateway Drugs?
It is important to know what drugs are considered gateway drugs. This means that they are habit forming drugs that lead to the use of other, more addictive drugs.
Though alcohol isn't necessarily a drug, it is still categorized as a "gateway drug". Since alcohol is legal, easy to find, and is extremely common in households, it is one of the most commonly used gateway drugs. The reason alcohol is considered a gateway drug is that it leads to the use of tobacco, marijuana, and then other illicit substances.
Nicotine is also a common gateway drug. It can be found in e-cigarettes (such as JUUL pods), cigarettes, and tobacco. Nicotine is both a sedative and a stimulant. Someone who is exposed to nicotine typically experiences a "kick" which is the nicotine stimulating the immune system. Nicotine is highly addictive and difficult to quit, leading to the use of other drugs in order to find that "kick" again.
Prescription Pain Pills
Prescription pain pills (such as Xanax) are usually obtained by someone who is prescribed them for medical purposes. Prescription pain pills are designed to block both physical and mental pain. This effect then becomes very addictive The changes affect the person's self-control and their ability to resist intense urges to take drugs in order to produce the same effect/feeling.
Marijuana is a controversial topic when it comes to the discussion of whether or not it is considered a gateway drug. THC is the addictive "drug" aspect of marijuana that creates the well-known psychoactive (high) effect. Many people think that it is a gateway drug due to the fact that trying other drugs may be an unintended side effect. However, recreational marijuana is now legal in 11 states across the country and according to the CDC, it is not considered a gateway drug. There is currently no evidence as to marijuana being addictive or not.
How it Affects Teens
Teens are exposed to these gateway drugs like alcohol, nicotine, and even prescription pain pills because they are more readily available than the more illicit drugs like cocaine and heroin.
Teens may also be more willing to try these gateway drugs because they think they are harmless to try. However, the earlier they begin the use of these drugs the more it affects their brains and can cause them to use other, more addictive drugs in the future.
Educating yourself and others on what gateway drugs are, and how they can affect you or someone you know, is the first step in beating addiction.
It is important to know the effects of these drugs as well as their ability to lead into other addictions.
Fire Mountain Residential Treatment Center is here to help educate, and guide teens to find their path.

Pheidippides Watches started in 2015 as a creative idea growing into a brand that holds creativity as a leitmotiv.
It began with a brainwave that resulted in a course sketch of The Inkpot. Nothing seriously back then, until one of my friends told me he would like to have one (and he had not been wearing a watch for years…). That forced me to make a decision: leave it at that or turn it into a business?
It took about a month to find the right partner to help me with the technical realization of my idea. That was quite an quest. Next, it took a couple of months to find the right Swiss suppliers for all components.
After that, all it took was time, work and patience to develop the first prototype. Please check the page about The Inkpot for further reading.
While the guys in Germany were working on this first design, I had "little" to do, so I had time to let creativity kick back in and I designed two more watches: The Porthole and The Hourglass.
Two days before my birthday in December 2015 the first working prototype of The Inkpot was ready. Is there a better birthday present imaginable?
The Inkpot requires a lot of testing of its mechanical construction. Meanwhile we started working on The Porthole in December 2015 and finished its prototypes in March 2016.
All Swiss components we had made fit perfectly. We learned so much from developing The Inkpot that developing The Porthole was the proverbial walk in the park.
The Porthole has been launched on Kickstarter on April 15th 2016. So, the first watch to hit the market is actually my second design. Please check the page about The Porthole for further reading.
The campaign on Kickstarter ended on May 16th and was not successfully funded. The Porthole has been relaunched on Indiegogo on May 16th 2016. See the campaign for further reading.
The campaign on Indiegogo was not successful either. The Porthole is waiting for another chance in the future.
We are currently finishing the development of The Inkpot. In the summer of 2016 we will assemble 5 pieces for testing. All testers have been found and are ready for their adventure.
Prototypes of my third design are finished: The Hourglass. They were presented to the public on September 10th.
The Hourglass is a really cool design which we are all very happy with. We launched it on Kickstarter on October 1st, 2016. The campaign is running until November 1st. Please check the page about The Hourglass for further reading.
The Inkpot needs to be tested for a few months, because we want to learn about the wear and tear of its internal construction before launching it with confidence. The testing of The Inkpot will take us into the fourth quarter of 2016 before we will decide to go for launch.
As it happens it turns out that my first design will be out for sale last.
Did I say last? The fourth design is nearly finished and a new idea for number five is already alive on the drawing board.
Stay tuned and check my website regularly to keep up to date with developments.


Showcasing the talented young artists in Arts Umbrella's Intensive, Pre-Professional, and Theatre Conservatory Programs, this annual festival boasts a bevy of captivating productions.
Cabins, campfires, games and a culminating gala make for an entertaining time as eight teens join a weeklong camp. However, sometimes reality flips and each character finds themselves weaving in and out of their own self-image. With the prevalence of social media focused on curating the perfect image Outside In explores how self-image can play a role in how we feel about ourselves. Created and performed by the Laboratory Theatre Troupe, this astute play will leave audiences contemplating their own self-image long after the final curtain call.
Celebrating its 75th anniversary, Rodgers & Hammerstein's first collaboration remains their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre as we know it today. Join the Arts Umbrella Musical Theatre Troupe as they take audiences to the Western American frontier just after the turn of the century. A high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a rugged cowboy, and Laurey, a charming farm girl, play out their love story. Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love's journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road.
The Arts Umbrella Senior Theatre Troupe presents a modern take on Euripides' classic Greek tragedy, The Phoenician Women. Using a blend of homemade masks to hide each actor's gender, and daring physicality, the Senior Theatre Troupe explores the repercussions of fate and the ever-present power of will, and delves into the consequences of war, control, innocence, and patriotism. Set in Thebes, the play is centred on the fateful history of the house of Laios following the tragic fall of Oedipus Rex. As the two sons of Oedipus battle over control of the city, the chorus of Phoenician Women find themselves trapped in Thebes by war on their way to Delphi.
Join Charlie Bucket in his adventurous tour of Willy Wonka's world-famous Chocolate Factory. Willy Wonka opens his factory doors to five lucky children and their parents. Meet food-loving Augustus Gloop, gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde, spoiled Veruca Salt, TV obsessed Mike Teavee, caring Charlie Bucket and many more fascinating characters in Roald Dahls well-loved story, adapted for the stage by Richard George and performed by the Junior Theatre Troupe.
A contemporary fairytale about two poor children surviving desperate circumstances through a rich mix of imaginative power, loyalty, and love. Inspired by true events and performed by Arts Umbrella's Theatre Conservatory, Charles Way's Missing is a gripping take on the story of Hansel and Gretel as their dysfunctional family life spirals from bad to worse. In a ominous world of deceit and unknown dangers, Hansel desperately searches for his missing sister and uncovers distrubing clues that suggest things may not be what they seem. With a seemingly evil step-mother, who is content with letting the police handle things, it is up to Hansel to save his sister.
One of the highlights of the season, the Theatre and Music Showcase reveals the accomplished and compelling talent of Arts Umbrellas Theatre Intensive Program students through a kaleidoscope of short musical and theatre performances across a range of genres from improv to film.

WFP welcomes new funding pledge for humanitarian needs in Yemen from United Arab Emirates and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
DUBAI/RIYADH – The United Nations World Food programme (WFP) welcomes a pledge of US$500 million from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) for humanitarian food assistance to Yemen. The funds, which will partially go to WFP, will cover shortfalls in the current humanitarian response while helping WFP scale up its operation to provide life-saving food assistance to 10-12 million severely hungry people in Yemen, including more than 2 million children.
"What Yemen needs most is peace because that would make the greatest amount of difference in every Yemeni life," said WFP Executive Director David Beasley. "In the meantime, this important donation will help us save children on the brink of death. I thank the UAE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for a contribution that will truly save lives."
Beasley has just returned from a visit to Yemen, where he witnessed first-hand the human suffering caused by years of conflict. WFP is currently providing food assistance to 7 – 8 million severely hungry people there every month but has started scaling up its operations due to the deteriorating food security situation. Rapidly rising prices have put what limited food there is beyond the reach of many Yemeni families.
Beasley added that the new contribution will allow WFP to expand cash-based assistance which helps not just those buying food and other basic items but also merchants and small businesses – a key step in kick-starting the collapsed Yemeni economy.
Beasley recently made his first official visit to the UAE, where he met with the leadership to discuss the country's role in providing humanitarian support for Yemen. He addressed the UN Security Council last week asking for an end to the conflict and requesting more funding for humanitarian assistance.
Earlier this year, the UAE and KSA jointly pledged US$930 million for humanitarian assistance in Yemen, of which US$442 million went to WFP.

GARM® by NFM

There is a lot of attention to uniforms these days. Mostly the discussion revolves around the type of camouflage. A lot of new patterns have come out in the past few years and months. Manufacturers try to outwit their opponents by bringing the latest in camouflage to their customers as soon as possible. Those customers are mostly gun enthusiasts, airsofters, role-players and outdoors types. As long as it looks goods and is relatively comfortable it's okay by them.
The men and women in the military will normally have to wait a little longer to get the latest in tactical fashion. For them a piece of uniform equipment can really mean the difference between life and death.
For soldiers in combat there are a number of factors that are important when it comes to their uniform and equipment. Camouflage is one of them, although not a single pattern can give optimum concealment in any combat zone. A uniform should also be comfortable. With the amount of equipment a soldier carries nowadays he or she must still be able to perform like a top-class athlete.
It should protect the soldier from the elements in the different environments he or she operates in. Normally, because of ever changing circumstances even within the day, that is achieved by a whole range of uniform items that can be layered. But most important, it should give the combat soldier protection from burn wounds caused by fire and explosions.
The fast majority of casualties in the last years have been from explosive devices like IED's, grenades or mines. In Afghanistan in 2010 more than 3600 soldiers suffered blast related injuries against just over 800 from gunshot wounds[i]. In 2011 IED's caused more than 90% of U.S. casualties, according to a USA Today article[ii]. Apart from the blast/shockwave most victims have severe burns from the flash of the explosion. The very high temperatures achieved in an explosion will cause clothes and equipment to catch on fire instantly. The type of materials used can mean the difference between severe and minor- injuries. Synthetic materials will melt instantly and literally fuse with the skin, making it impossible to remove for treatment. Other materials will just keep on burning after the initial explosion and cause burn wounds. It is not just the layers of clothing closest to the body that can cause these burns, also belts, vests and other equipment carried on the body that can cause harm to the soldier. The heat is than transmitted through the other layers to the skin.
One way to battle these horrific injuries is making the materials flame or fire retardant (FR). These materials will not burn and when the do catch fire, put the flames out directly. Surprisingly very few soldiers get issued with effective FR treated uniforms and equipment. Norwegian company NFM did studies and tests in that direction and then decided to design and manufacture a whole new range of uniform items and equipment. They call it GARM®.
GARM®
The name NFM gave to their clothing and equipment line is very apt. Garm is the monstrous hound that guards the realm of the dead in Norse mythology. According to NFM its new combat clothing system GARM® symbolizes the ultimate in strength and protection. NFM put a lot of research into GARM®, not only to find the shortcomings of the old uniforms and equipment but also into the design and fabrics of the new line. They did this on request of the Norwegian ministry of defence.
Their problem was the many different manufacturers with all different fabrics and sizes. As everyone knows who bought clothes from different brands, a Large is not always a Large and green comes if many different shades. It all makes for a high cost of the logistics. The request was for a complete system of clothing, both FR and non-FR. NFM came up with FSP, Full Spectrum Protection which sees the soldier itself as the system.
The Garm® line of clothing has everything from undergarments to outer garments to suit all operational conditions and climates. The main fabric chosen for Garm® is TenCate's Defender M, used in the U.S. Army's and USMC's combat uniforms. The FR qualities in the Defenderâ"¢ M are in the fabric itself and not added by chemicals or otherwise. That means it will keep its protective qualities over its total lifespan. Defenderâ"¢-M is used by NFM in the utility and combat uniform.
But using the right fabric is not all NFM has put into GARM®. In the design of the clothing the designers took 'muscle memory' into account. Muscle memory is being able to repeat a movement or procedure automatically, like changing a magazine in a rifle. Soldiers train for these often to be able to do the movements without thinking about them knowingly. So if you put the pockets on all the layers of clothing in the same spot, with the same size and with the same way of opening, taking something out of them in a combat situation can be trained as well and performed by muscle memory when in that situation. All the soldier has to do is put his stuff into the outer most layer and change them over when putting on or taking of layers. It might look strange but imagine troops training in wet and cold Europe for their deployment in hot and dry Afghanistan. There is a good chance that they will wear a parka in training and a combat shirt in theatre. So where do you store your tourniquet or compass or other essential items. Your parka might have buttons on all the pockets but the combat shirt has hook and loop. Under fire in the combat zone you are trying to find the button on the pocket with your hand. You keep your eyes on potential targets so you don't want to look down to what you are doing. But you are wearing a shirt now which has hook and loop. It takes you valuable seconds to get your head around the problem, taking your mind of the threats around you. It is not something you want. With Garm® it is not something that will happen. The different clothing lines all have an identical lay-out. You don't need to look down because you have done this hundreds of times in training.
Garm® uses different pieces of clothing to suit different styles of operations. The so-called High Speed operations (HSO) is basically combat operations. The conditions for the clothing uses in HSO are more stringent then for Long Term Operations (LTO) od barrack and guard duty.
In HSO clothing should be functional, comfortable and breathable and keep you dry by taking moisture (perspiration) away from your body and have antibacterial protection. It should also have high FR values and increased protection for sensitive body areas. A close body fit allows for free movement and comfort.
For LTO Garm® uses more insulated underwear, long-term FR values and durable performance. The use of a combination of layers provides better mobility together with advanced insulation capacity en moisture management. It should also be suitable for tough and varied climates.
NFM did extensive field testing ain different climates in cooperation with the Norwegian Defence forces. Besides more clinical tests NFM talked to the soldiers wearing Garm® in the field during these tests to verify the results.
Lab testing included tests for wear and tear but also testing the FR properties by performing burn tests. These were done in cooperation with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment FFI (Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt).
Getting back to the importance of fire or flame retardant properties. By using the right fabric the soldier will be protected much better. But there is more. The designers and engineers at NFM also looked into all the other materials that make up a uniform.
The hook and loop used in Garm® is not like you are used to. Normal hook and loop, more commonly known under its best known brand name Velcro®, is quite noisy when wrinkled. Hook and loop is basically plastic, so very dangerous when set aflame. It will melt and drip and cause severe injuries. NFM uses a different kind of hook and loop, especially designed for the company, that is softer and more pliable without making much noise when wrinkled and it has FR properties.
If you want to fully protect troops you must make sure that every item is FR. If you miss even a single item the injuries can be horrific. Zippers, buttons, clasps, you name it and it has to be FR or used in such a way it cannot cause injury in case of fire or explosion.
The Defender M fabric from TenCate is special because it has FR properties without chemical treatment. One of the main fibres used in Defender M is the Lenzing FR® viscose fibre. It is a strange fiber as it is derived from wood. It has unique thermal insulation properties but it combines it with inherent flame resistance. Besides that it also absorbes moisture making it breathable and comfortable. The use of para-aramid and polyamide fibres in the blend makes for a tough and durable that does not fade easily when printed in a great variety of colours and camouflage schemes.
For the undergarments GARM® uses another natural material that has inherent FR properties, Merino wool. By combining this wool from Merino sheep with ProtexM in different quantities, you can make specific fabrics for different layers in the clothing system with the exact levels of comfort you need. All share basic properties like regulating body temperature, isolation even when wet and non-itching. All fabrics are also non-melting making them perfect for FR. The fabrics are called JanusPro and are made in the Janusfabrikken AS. ProtexM is also one of those special fibres and is produced by Kaneka from Japan. It is a so-called modacrylic fibre that is a poor heat conductor and does not combust. They are very hard to ignite and will self-extinguish giving the fibre great FR performance, which is strengthened by mixing it with the Merino wool. The FR properties will not decline with age and wear.
Garm® is one of four pillars of 'Full Spectrum Protection' (FSP). The NFM group is the developer and/or manufacturer of all FSP items. The other pillars are load bearing systems, ballistic protection and headgear. For the last one NFM is partnering with Ops-Core from the United States.
FSP is a project started several years ago by NFM together with the Norwegian Defence and Logistics Organisation NDLO. The intention is to develop the grounds for specifications of next generation combat garments in Norway.
With this both the Norwegian military and the industry take a big step into seeing clothing as a complete system instead of separate items. All items of clothing now have to work together and future project have a set base to which it has to adhere.
The most important is that the soldier becomes the focus, not the individual pieces of clothing and equipment. A giant leap forward.

Very good read, thanks. I'm very curious if the new Dutch uniforms will be FR. Or maybe only for deployment. Initial tests with a possible new pattern developed by TNO were also carried out with clothing from NFM. I hope we get a decent new uniform.
How come the whole system consists of only Coyote Brown uniforms? It is really that effective in the Norwegian enviroment?
There is also a Multicam version available.
For your information. NFM also supplied to the Norwegian army in their N-Kamo, the forsvarets skogkamu, with its typical two tone green and brown colors and pattern. But Norwegian special forces (FSK spesialkommando) will also use MultiCam in operations.
