By Marti Gacioch
Murfey Construction is ready to break ground in September 2014 for a five-story apartment building that will house 36 "luxury" apartments on the corner of Washington Street and Eighth Avenue in Hillcrest. "They are our main focus now," said sales manager Jesse Lyons.
The one- and two-bedroom units will range in size from 760- to 1200-square-feet.
"Amenities will be similar to other Murfey Construction projects, including solar panels on the roof top deck complete with a BBQ, that serves as a common area for residents to entertain and socialize," Lyons said.
Energy-efficient stainless steel appliances and energy-efficient green heating and air conditioning are also a given with Murfey Construction. The company thinks green for the environment and builds green to continue protecting it while serving its tenants with cutting edge, state-of-art technology, Lyons said.
Other amenities will include European-style wooden cabinets, hard surface quartz counters in two color schemes, a washer and dryer in each unit, and refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave and tankless water heaters.
"Everything will be pre-wired for cable and Internet and there will be wall-mounted connections for flat panel TVs and LED lighting," Lyons said. "There will be some nice panoramic views toward the ocean … a fitness center may be included."
Russ Murfey added "With our projects, we install highly efficient, cost-effective products whenever possible, including gas appliances, which are less expensive to operate than electric appliances. We build with Quartz countertops and recycled wood flooring, including bamboo, and try to keep products out of the landfill by recycling more than 50 percent of the materials we use."
Units in Murfey's Famosa project at Voltaire Street and Catalina Boulevard in Point Loma (nine contemporary, 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath townhomes with 2-car garages) are now for sale. A few of the 1,400-1,500 square foot townhomes include a rooftop deck. The multi-use project will have street-level retail spaces.
"The Hillcrest and Famosa projects afford Murfey Construction the opportunity to create unique and sustainable living spaces within the urban areas of San Diego," Murfey said. "These are just two examples of the many projects we are working on which feature green building techniques, designed to blend into the existing neighborhoods seamlessly."
Murfey Construction is also known for its commercial construction and custom-home building projects. Among those recently completed are a hotel at Crystal Pier, the Promiscuous Fork Restaurant's second location in Pacific Beach and a UC San Diego medical clinic.
The company is working on two mixed-use developments — Atlas Lofts in South Park and an unnamed 20-unit development in North Park.

Flyer: Caves? Wasn't aware there was any limestone in that area that would enable caves to form. I used to do a lot of caving in my younger days -around Castleton in the Peak District. Never heard of any caves around Wymin Bk. Were they caves or abandoned mines of some sort?
Hi Walt, my sister Susan passed away in Lodge Moor in the early 40s I think (well before I was born). She had a brain tumour, but I was told that as it was an isolation hospital, my parents were not allowed to have back the books and dolls they had taken to her during her illness because of the danger of infection. On another note, I remember in the 60s sitting in a shelter at the bottom of the hospital drive for an hour with pencils and a colouring book while my parents visited my elderly grandmother. I can't remember what the problem was, but I do know I was only about 10. Interestingly, my youngest child was also hospitalised there suffering from enteritis when he was a baby in 1977 and the glass partitions were still in place then!
I recall the isolation ward being to the right of the main building at the top of the yard (car park). If you entered the bottom main door, you had the North Wards which went away to the left. of the Medical Records office. There was a large corridor which went right up the 'spine' (sorry!) of the hospital. Half way up, to the left were the Central Wards which went off in pairs C1, C2 etc.
There were ante-rooms as well eg Chapel, porters' room, x-ray dept. cafeteria on the right, Occupational Therapy, theatre etc.
The Spinal Wards were at the top South 1 down to S6 with the wards going off to the right down South corridor, and the gym and sports hall were near the top to the right. Outside was the helicopter pad and the sports field. There was also a house around the perimeter road where relatives from far-afield could stay.
I'll look into that when I visit Sheffield this Aug, flyer. Thanks for the heads up.
Polio patients were definately treated there around 1955 ,I had an uncle who contracted polio when he was 16 and spent I think around 18 months up there.His name was Tommy Hague the virus left him with a paralised arm,he spent all his life living on parson cross looking after his dog and other animals until his death on boxing day 1977.If anyone remembers him it would be good to hear from you .
My late grandfather spent some time in Lodge Moor Hospital and I recall going to see him in 1988. There seemed to be endless corridors and certainly a spooky feeling about the place.
I knew one of the nurses who worked in the spinal injuries unit too and I recall the disbelief which followed the announcement of its closure. It rivalled Stoke Manderville for facilities (or so I was told).
My father mike kelly spent most of his early life in both king edwards and lodge oor he was a polio victim but was all so a paraplegic through it. He is still with us so would be able to help with any enquiries any one as. He met my mum at one of the too she nursed him.
Mike Kelly, thats a blast from the past. I was in King Edwards with him.


Sequel to the visit of the CEO of Buruj Sports Academy Salaudeen Waheed to the United Kingdom office of Team Tours Direct, the organisers of Super Cup, there are strong indications that the young players of the Academy who will make the trip will have unique opportunities to play against the youth sides of EPL teams like Manchester United, Everton and Stoke City.
Terry O'Neill, the CEO of Team Tours Direct while receiving Dr. Salaudeen on Wednesday afternoon expressed his delight that young talents from Nigeria are being organised by Buruj Sports Academy to showcase their talents and promised to do everything within his powers to help them play in front of seasoned coaches, agents and scouts who will storm the venues to shop for exciting talents.
The Welsh-born sports and tours management company CEO therefore challenged the players who will make the trip to prepare to face tough opposition from selected EPL teams they are going to face after the tournament proper.
"We are very happy to have our good friend Honourable Buruj in the house and we have had some very useful discussions. We are eager to see the young champions from Nigeria once again and hopefully, they will benefit maximally from participating in our tournaments," the ebullient Welshman enthused.


If you are thinking about outsourcing the printing, processing, and mailing of your invoices and statements, you probably have a few questions about how it works. Below, we've provided the answers to the most common questions we receive from new clients, from how we do business to exactly what kinds of services we offer. We strive to help our clients in every way possible: we want the answer to the majority of your questions to be, "Of course we can!" and "Not a problem!". Please let us know if we can add any other FAQs.
The absolute best way to find out if we can help you with your printing, processing and mailing job is to contact us and ask.
How fast can we get up and running with Towne Mailer?
That is entirely up to you. After you have contacted us, discussed pricing, and decided to give us a try, we will ask you to upload an actual file for us to test – this process happens without charge and without obligation, of course. After you approve your sample, it is up to you to give us the okay to start printing, processing, and mailing. Clients who respond quickly to each of these steps can have a job rolling in a matter of days. Others need a few days, weeks, or months to prepare. You set your own pace.
How quickly can you print, process and mail our documents?
All files we receive have a guaranteed turnaround time of 24 hours. Files received by 8 a.m. MST are printed, processed and mailed on the same business day.
Will my company save time and money by outsourcing our printing, processing, and mailing?
Yes, all of our clients save time and money by outsourcing their printing, processing, and mailing needs. That's because we specialize in what we do and have spent years perfecting the process from start to finish. The simple truth is that we have the knowledge, machinery, specialized staff, and inventory to mail your invoices and statements more efficiently than you do. By using experts and specialists, you are not only making the most efficient choice for your business, you are also freeing up your own staff to do more important higher-level and day-to-day tasks.
To learn specifically how much time and money some of our clients save, read our case studies.
What types of businesses benefit from your services?
Hospitals, clinics, labs, medical centers and medical offices.
Rental agencies – property, equipment and consumer goods.
Utility providers (water, electric, telephone, etc.).
Governmental agencies: state, county, city or any other municipal type or department.
Newspapers, radio stations, and other media outlets.
Banks, credit unions and loan companies.
Financial companies and investment companies.
Pool and landscaping maintenance companies.
Although we are based in Missoula, Montana, we serve clients all over the United States, as far away as Alaska and Hawaii. As long as you are using the U.S. mail system, geography is not an issue or a limitation. We are a mail processing center, and as such, your mail will travel very quickly to its destination because it is automated and presorted.
I've heard that outsourcing is bad – is that true?
We don't like the way our statements look. Can you help us?
Of course we can! The software we use to print, process and mail your invoices and statements permits us to take the data you have uploaded to us and move it around to create a more pleasing, clearer, and more informative format. We can even incorporate your logo into your statements in a variety of ways. We can work with most any format, although we can only make limited changes to PDF files.
We don't have thousands of pieces of mail processed each month. Do you have a minimum volume requirement?
Not a problem! The minimum volume that makes the best economic sense to both Towne Mailer and our client is 200 pieces per month. We've done the math, and anything less than 200 pieces per month wouldn't benefit either party. Our current clients upload between 200 to 40,000 statements, invoices, and letters per month – an amount that allows us to offer exceptional, personalized customer service and very fast response times that larger outsource providers often cannot give to smaller clients.
We are changing our software. Will this affect our processing, printing, and mailing?
Not a problem! If you give us enough time to prepare, we will even help you test your new software. Some of our clients going through software changes find it helpful to run their statements and invoices in the both the old and new software versions to ensure a smooth transition. We are happy to help you through the change and to ensure that your statements and mailings aren't affected by your updates in any way – all you need do is to let us know what is happening and when.
We need to include a message on only some of our invoices or statements. Can you do that?
Of course we can! All you need to do is contact us several days before we print, process and mail your invoices and statements. Let us know the message you want to selectively include as well as which pieces of mail you would like to include it on. Finally, let us know what data code we need to look at to trigger the message. If you want to make sure that your message is in the right place and on the right pieces of mail, just preview your documents online before you approve them to be printed and processed.
Do we need to sign a contact with you?
Not necessarily. We have a simple two-page agreement that outlines the responsibilities of both parties and provides for annual renewal unless service is terminated. Unlike many other outsource providers, we do not require a formal agreement. Our philosophy is that if we do not provide a client with excellent service, no written contract can bind the parties to one another.
Can you incorporate our logo into our statements and mailings?
Yep! We can insert your logo at the top of your document, as a screen in the body of the form, or both. We believe that your logo is a great marketing tool that can help identify you, build your brand, and make your documents look great. If you'd like to add your logo to your statements, invoices, or mailings, we provide you with instructions and guidance as well as assist you with layout.
We only take certain credit cards from our customers. Can you help us make that clear on our statements?
Of course we can! Just let us know which credit cards you take and we will include the appropriate logos when we print your statements or invoices. If you add or delete a card your business accepts, call or email us and we will make the change on the next run.
Can you include a newsletter, insert, or flier in with our statement?
You bet! Just upload the content and we can print it here – in black and white or in color. All we need is a little advanced notice. We can also include announcements, promotional advertising or whatever else you'd like. If you'd like to supply the insert yourself, just send it to us in time to include it in the appropriate statement mailing. Also, if we cannot print the project in-house, we can partner with several area printers who can help you – and we do not tack on a charge to the price.
How often can we send you files?
You can send us files daily, weekly, semimonthly, monthly – whenever you'd like and whatever works best for your business. And you can upload files to us 24 hours a day, seven days a week – our servers do not sleep!
How do I know my statements were sent out?
After you upload your statements to our server, you will receive immediate confirmation that your file has been received. During the printing and mailing process, we will send you a variety of other forms and reports that give you a detailed listing of what was we printed, what we processed, and what we mailed, including a list of bad addresses.
Can I see the invoices before they are mailed?
If you want! We will post the statements, invoices or letters on the web so that only you can see and review them. You may choose whether we can print, process, and mail before you review the documents.
I have a question that you didn't answer on this page!
Not a problem! Call us today at (877) 882-6245 to speak to one of our team members and get an answer to our questions. Alternatively, you can send us a quick email and we will get back to you as soon as possible.


Take a trip to heaven, Nintendo style!
Simple and intuitive controls bring you closer than ever to the music - it's as simple as tapping your finger and yet challenging enough to keep you on your toes.
Music games continue to be extremely popular, and Rhythm Heaven delivers a new way to play. The fun pop musical beats combine with the quirky graphics for an experience that anyone can enjoy.
Rhythm Heaven has more than 50 rhythm-based music games featuring a catchy soundtrack composed by legendary Japanese pop-music producer TSUNKU.
Game description: Rhythm Heaven features original music in dozens of rhythm-based minigames. The music, created by legendary Japanese pop-star producer TSUNKU, is addictive and catchy. Even though the controls are simple to grasp, each minigame challenges the player's grasp of rhythm by throwing in interesting beats and off-beats.
The game is controlled entirely by the stylus: Tap to shake your hips in one game or flick the stylus on the touch screen to swing a paddle in another. It's all about tapping, flicking, sliding and holding. This simple set of gestures combines with the rhythm of each game for a unique musical experience. It's easy to figure out what to do, and then the game play becomes addictive. Rhythm Heaven is easy enough for new players to pick up and play for a few minutes at a time, yet veteran gamers will want to unlock and master every game.
YUSS! One of the best games ever.
Kittsy? could you give some more info on this game? It seems very fun and creative.I am going to go out next week and buy this new game.
I JUST played the demo on the Nintendo channel...i think I'll buy it!
This game is fun and inventive right from the start! Rhythm heaven does a marvelous job of drawing you in the first time you select your profile.
The game boasts a whopping 40 unique stages with 10 remix stages, and another 24 unlock-able toys/extra modes to keep the fun coming. Each of these are longer than a Wario-Ware micro-game (around 3 min each), and more challenging than a Mario Party mini-game.
Due to the games higher difficulty level, younger players will find this immensely frustrating. However, those patient enough to let the game unravel its many marvels are in for a real treat!
As far as replay value, this game is loaded with the stuff. Earning a "Superb" on any of the 50 levels warrants a medal which goes towards unlocking another of the the aforementioned unlock-ables. Still further honing your rhythm skills to get a "Perfect", rewards you with one of the corresponding tracks/fun-facts. With over 80 unlock-able tracks and 32 amusing fun-facts for good measure, Rhythm Heaven is clearly one of the best titles to hit the DS!
Overall, I highly recommend Rhythm Heaven. Its fun, addictive, light-hearted, and altogether very engaging. A tough grading system and myriad of extras to collect will keep this cartridge in your system for months, and the game's catchy tunes will stay in your head even longer!
I got this game for £2 at CeX. ...I got it on a whim and it's pretty dang spectacular.
News Hey, You Got Your Rhythm Heaven In My iTunes!

What Makes A Good Trademark?
By Thomas W. Hanson, Patent Attorney*
Certainly, a good trademark should be memorable. It should stick in the minds of your customers and remind them of you and your product. In addition, your trademark should be legally protectable so that you can keep others from stealing it or infringing upon it. The strongest legal protection comes with federal registration. Unfortunately, many memorable trademarks are either difficult or impossible to register with the Trademark Office.
One of the pre-requisites for registration of a trademark is that it be "distinctive." Distinctiveness is a term of art which has a very definite, if not always clear, meaning. For trademark purposes, every trademark falls into one of five categories of distinctiveness ranging from generic to fanciful. In between are descriptive, suggestive, and arbitrary trademarks. The level of protection afforded trademarks corresponds to its level of distinctiveness.
A generic mark is one that states a basic nature of a product or service. These are terms which would be used by all manufacturers of the same type of goods to describe their products. This category includes terms such as "milk", "dairy", and "fresh" when used with dairy goods. Because these terms would need to be used by all manufacturers, they can never serve to distinguish one manufacturer from another. Since they are considered to have no distinctiveness, generic marks can never be registered.
Descriptive trademarks are considered to not be inherently distinctive, but are capable of acquiring distinctiveness. These are trademarks which describe a characteristic, quality, function, feature, ingredient, purpose or use of a product or service. An example is "Speedy Messenger" for a messenger service. If a descriptive mark is used with a product for sufficient time that consumers come to associate the trademark with a specific supplier, it is said to have acquired "secondary meaning." This is acquired distinctiveness that will allow the trademark to be registered, but only it is established. This typically takes five years or more.
A suggestive mark does not directly describe the product or service but instead suggests a characteristic and requires at least some imagination to make the connection between the mark and the attribute. "Greyhound" for bus service (suggesting "speedy") and "Yahoo!" for an Internet search engine (suggesting a "jumping off place") might be considered suggestive. Suggestive marks can be very tempting because they are often memorable and are immediately registerable. However, they can be difficult to differentiate from descriptive marks which are not immediately registerable. At least three major legal tests have evolved to help make the decision, none of which is black and white. If you choose a trademark in this area, realize that you take the risk that it might be considered descriptive and you'll have to wait until secondary meaning is established to register.
Arbitrary and fanciful marks bear no relation to the product or service. They differ in that fanciful marks are usually "made-up" words where arbitrary marks are real, but unrelated, words. Both arbitrary and fanciful marks are considered inherently distinctive and can be registered immediately upon first use. These are the best types of trademarks to adopt initially if at all possible. A good example of an arbitrary mark is "Apple" for computers. It's a real word, but has nothing to do with computers. Fanciful marks include "Kodak" and "Exxon." Both were made up and have no direct connection to their associated products. While it can be more difficult to establish market recognition for arbitrary and fanciful trademarks, they are clearly registerable.
It's important to keep several factors in mind when selecting a trademark. It should be both memorable and legally protectable. The best protection comes from Federal registration which requires that the trademark have either inherent or acquired "distinctiveness." Keep in mind that there are other prerequisites for registration including actual use of, or bona fide indent to use, the trademark and that it not be confusingly similar to an existing trademark.
* Originally published in the Rocky Mountain Inventors and Entrepreneurs Congress Newsletter, January 1998
All trademarks mentioned are the properties of their respective owners.

Darling Harbour, located a short walk from Sydney CBD across the Iron Cove Bridge, has a number of attractions for visitors to Sydney including the Australian National Maritime Museum.
At the museum, there are ships, boats of all sizes, historical displays and changing exhibitions related to not only Australia's maritime traditions but that of the whole world and man's skills and technology related to the sea and their exploration.
Amongst its collection of historical boats and ships it a replica of the HMB Endeavour. Full scale and built in Australia, it was carefully replicated from the original, HMS Endeavour, the research ship used by the then Lieutenant James Cook when he first charted the east coast of Australia.
Another ship at the National Maritime Museum you can clamber on is the HMS Vampire. This destroyer, built in Australia, served in the Vietnam War amongst other places.
You can also explore their submarine, the HMAS Onslow. If you want a closer look than you can get here, you would have to join the navy.
You can sail on the Endeavour on one of its many expeditions to other ports, where they open the ship for the public. See their website Australian National Maritime Museum.

Hotels in the City center include a wide range of styles of accommodation to suit most budgets.

Q: Can't access Pokemon Go outside of Wi-Fi This happened to a friend of mine first, about a week before it hit me. All of a sudden, my Pokémon Go was having issues logging in. No matter how many times I tried, it couldn't authenticate. I tried re-logging to see if there was anything wrong with my credentials, to no effect. I re-installed the app, with the same outcome.
My friend then mentioned to me that the only time they are able to access the game is when their phone is connected to Wi-Fi, so following their advice, I tried again in Wi-Fi, and it worked.
I have an android phone, all of my other apps work, I have never had any connectivity issues with it.

Why so grumpy, Grumpy Cat? You're worth US$100 million
Grumpy Cat attends the Cat Summer video launch party at Bleecker Street Records on July 16, 2014 in New York City. PHOTO: AFP
She has a book. A movie. Guest appearances on shows like American Idol and The Bachelorette.
No, she's not a Kardashian. She's Grumpy Cat (real name Tardar Sauce).
The famous feline, who is the embodiment of the phrase 'sour puss', is on a roll, and she's rolling in the dough as well.
The Hollywood Reporter quotes Grumpy Cat's manager Ben Lashes as saying that she's netted an estimated US$100 million in revenue since she became an Internet sensation thanks to a picture posted by her owner's brother on website Reddit back in 2012, when she was just four months old.
This coming Tuesday, she'll release her second book, The Grumpy Guide To Life.

Later this month, she'll be jetting off to Vancouver to film a Christmas movie, Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever.
"This is a seven-figure cat, for sure," said Lashes while discussing the fees she commands for her appearances and projects.
Her response?
Well, gee. Lighten up a little.

"Composing the Symphony of Your Life," with Guest Professional Composer, Musician and Publisher, Christopher Caliendo; and Musical Guest, Flutist, John Barcellona on The LIFE CHANGES Show
GUEST: CHRISTOPHER CALIENDO and MUSICAL GUEST: JOHN BARCELLONA
CHRISTOPHER CALIENDO
Hailed "A Wunderkind!" by LA Weekly, Christopher Caliendo is a world music composer and concert guitarist whose diverse music styles—featuring everything from Brazilian samba to Italian folk songs to American pop music to classical melodies—have been embraced worldwide, finding equal resonance with film studios, philharmonics, chamber societies, the Vatican, fellow artists, political figures and celebrities.
As a world music composer, Caliendo is considered a "best bet" by the Los Angeles Times, with more than 500 published works, many of which are standards in today's repertoire. The complete catalog is now represented in 47 stores nationwide with additional presence in Belgium, Canada, England and South Korea. In recognition of this achievement, Caliendo has won numerous honors, including 10-time winner of the National Flute Association's Newly Published Sheet Music Award.
Notable recent commissions for Caliendo's work include Sherlock Holmes: Symphonic Suite, his fourth composition to be commissioned by the Pacific Chamber Symphony, which premiered March 2014 in California; Soccor, commissioned by the Dèdalo Ensemble, which will have its world premiere in October 2014 in Brescia, Italy; The Hobbit: Symphonic Suite, also commissioned by the Pacific Chamber Symphony, which will have its world premiere November 2014 in California; and Enders's Game: Concert Band Suite, commissioned by the United States Air Force, a recording of which will release December 2014 to honor the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
As a composer for film and television, Caliendo's accomplishments include the 20th Century Fox-commissioned soundtrack to John Ford's 1924 silent film The Iron Horse. Called an "excellent orchestral score" by New York Times film critic Dave Kehr, the 136- minute original work was featured at 20th Century Fox's 75th anniversary celebration in 2010, where selections were performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, along with music from Alfred Newman, David Raskin, Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams and Rodgers and Hammerstein. The soundtrack was also included in the Top 10 Film Scores of 2007 by Film Score Monthly magazine.
Also of note: Caliendo won the National Society of Film Critics 2007 Film Heritage Award for his work on The Iron Horse. He won the award again in 2008 for composing original scores for movies featured on 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment's Murnau, Borzage and Fox DVD box set.
Caliendo was also commissioned by Sony Pictures to compose a new score for the 2005 re-release of Sam Peckinpah's 1965 feature Major Dundee, which earned him the honor of being the first composer in film history to re-score a major motion picture. Film critic Leonard Maltin declared the score "A great victory!" while Grover Crisp of Sony Pictures said "[The score] is in the vein of Jerry Goldsmith or Elmer Bernstein or Alex North scores for similar pictures: Big where it needs to be, intimate where it needs to be, but really full-bodied and complex, fitting its subject perfectly."
Caliendo has also written music for the documentary Life Is Love, which premiered at the Cinequest Film Festival in 2014, and for the TV series' Dallas, Knot's Landing and Paradise, for which he received an Emmy nomination in 1988.
Additional composing honors for Caliendo include the Artin Arslanian Music Scholarship for Composition; the Henry Mancini Music Scholarship; the Leonard Goldberg Music Scholarship for Composition; the Music Now Award; the Peabody Grant for Humanities; the Wilma Drama Scholarship for Outstanding Achievement in the Humanities; commissions by three state senators to premiere and perform new "chamber jazz" works at fund-raising events; and a decorative scroll from the City of Los Angeles commemorating Caliendo's distinction as the first American to be twice-commissioned by Pope John Paul II for the Vatican's "Encounters of Sacred Contemporary Music Festival" in Rome, Italy, where he debuted The Mystic Saints, a two-hour drama based on four of the Catholic church's most enigmatic pioneers in Western spirituality.
As a concert guitarist, Keith Hannaleck of Gramophone magazine has described Caliendo as "one fantastic guitar player…simply masterful and as fluid as humanly possible…[one] of the best musicians in the world." He has performed with many Hollywood luminaries, including Larry King, Linda Hamilton, Ron Perlman, The Manhattan Transfer and Walter Koenig, and was selected by Bob Hope to be the featured performer for his 90th birthday celebration. He is also a recording artist for major film studios on movie soundtracks and currently tours his world music with the Caliendo Trio. Caliendo is endorsed by Kevin Ryan guitars, performing on the model "The Mission Grand," and has numerous CD recordings.
In addition to being a world music composer and concert guitarist, Caliendo is also a guest speaker, teacher, conductor, performer and master-class technician at major universities and other venues. His motivational seminar, "Composing Success," based on his substantial knowledge of the music industry, targets both composers and performers who wish to establish self-reliance and accountability, knowing their creative actions are in alignment with their creative purpose.
Caliendo's love of music began at an early age, playing guitar at age 9 and composing music at age 14. He is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, and the University of California, Los Angeles, where he received a Master of Fine Arts in music and graduated magna cum laude.

Notes: --
"Run-D.M.C. was the first rap act to produce cohesive, fully realized albums, and LL Cool J was the first to follow in their footsteps. LL [born James Todd Smith] was a mere 17 years old when he recorded his classic debut album Radio, a brash, exuberant celebration" (Huey) of "big beats, small scratches, verbal agility and a whole lot of B-boy attitude" (Blender). "It's raw and often verbose, but also highly effective" (Blender). With it, LL scored a "debut album platinum and kick-start[ed] the Def Jam hip-hop dynasty" (Blender).
Radio "launched not only the longest career in hip-hop, but also Rick Rubin's seminal Def Jam label. Rubin's back-cover credit ('Reduced by Rick Rubin') is an entirely apt description of his bare-bones production style. Radio is just as stripped-down and boisterously aggressive as any Run-D.M.C. album, sometimes even more so; the instrumentation is basically just a cranked-up beatbox, punctuated by DJ scratching. There are occasional brief samples, but few do anything more than emphasize a downbeat. The result is rap at its most skeletal, with a hard-hitting, street-level aggression that perfectly matches LL's cocksure teenage energy. Even the two ballads barely sound like ballads, since they're driven by the same slamming beats" (Huey).
"Though they might sound a little squared-off to modern ears, LL's deft lyrics set new standards for MCs at the time; his clever disses and outrageous but playful boasts still hold up poetically. Although even LL himself would go on to more intricate rhyming, it isn't really necessary on such a loud, thumping adrenaline rush of a record. Radio was both an expansion of rap's artistic possibilities and a commercial success (for its time), helping attract new multiracial audiences to the music. While it may take a few listens for modern ears to adjust to the minimalist production, the fact that it hews so closely to rap's basic musical foundation means that it still possesses a surprisingly fresh energy, and isn't nearly as dated as many efforts that followed it (including, ironically, some of LL's own)" (Huey).

A Common Crime – Psychological Thriller
Best Of Best of Movies Featured Horror Movie Reviews Scary Movies and Series
Post author By Joe Clements
No Comments on A Common Crime – Psychological Thriller
A Common Crime (2021) is the new Argentinian psychological thriller with supernatural elements from director Francisco Márquez. Having not seen his directorial debut The Long Night of Francisco Sanctis (2016), I went into this piece relatively blind, albeit interested in the Argentine perspective of what a grounded horror/thriller should be. What I didn't expect was that the film might reignite memories of one of my favorite, though sadly most neglected, directors.
From its opening scenes A Common Crime permeates a sparse realism that, while inducing a mild anxiety, also for me echoes the subtle and meticulous stylings of Austrian virtuoso Michael Haneke. With majority diegetic sound and very little music, viewers are made to feel a part of the world they are watching, that is if they can get past the apparent 'slowness' that it shares with Haneke's work. Long, rigorous camera takes allow each scene and the performances within them to breathe, and the result is absolutely hypnotic.
The plot is simple enough; sociology teacher Cecilia (Elisa Carricajo) has a maid whose son is constantly harassed by the police. One night Cecilia awakens to the boy knocking frantically at her door. Fear takes over and she merely hides in the shadows as some vague struggle seems to occur. When the boy shows up dead the next day Cecilia is plunged into a personal hell of paranoia and self-blame. Clear and definite themes of guilt and grief are explored within the tight, oddly-claustrophobic framing of Márquez's world. Subtlety and detail are offered in bucketloads, along with a surprising amount of atmosphere from such a dark and restrained story.
That being said, this is no by-the-numbers thriller. Borderline experimental in presentation, you'd honestly be forgiven for growing tired of the repetitive psychological episodes A Common Crime descends into, or at least for hoping for some kind of payoff at the end of it all. That expectation came to me from repeated past viewings of Haneke's beautifully bland stylings which almost always involved some kind of heavy shock punishment for letting his work seep into you. While trying to navigate the minefield of spoiler-free reviewing I can only say I was left with a confused, perhaps a little concerned, expression as the credits began to roll on this one. It took until the ending for me to realise that A Common Crime was nothing like I had expected. This is, on the one hand, a testament to its mesmerising nature, though that nature was primarily the thing which left me feeling lost on more than one occasion.
Rather than make a full-blown psychological horror, Márquez shows a lot of discipline and moderation. A Common Crime sticks to it's drama-fuelled thriller territory while using classic horror tools to enrich the presentation of its story. While most scares are longer-running and based around reactions, any up-front chills attack within enough space to enhance their effect. Even the score felt more dreamy than dread-inducing. That being said, the parts come together quite effectively as a whole. The unease I felt during its run time did reach that of films such as Hagazussa (2017) and Krisha (2015), as it relies more on its commitment to an uncanny feeling of irregularity that admirably holds up to the very end.
A Common Crime is an honest, bold and intellectual drama which teeters on thriller territory in plot alone. Keeping enough to its chest to allow its mystery to envelop the viewer, it thrives in its own quiet world with barely an enhancement from clever editing or sound tricks, which in itself is an accomplishment. It may not be quite what you're looking for, but give it time to sink in and you'll be wanting more like it in a heartbeat.
Joe Clements
Joe first knew he wanted to write in year six after plaguing his teacher's dreams with a harrowing story of World War prisoners and an insidious 'book of the dead'. Clearly infatuated with horror, and wearing his influences on his sleeve, he dabbled in some smaller pieces before starting work on his condensed sci-fi epic, System Reset in 2013.Once this was published he began work on many smaller horror stories and poems in bid to harness and connect with his own fears and passions and build on his craft.
Joe is obsessed with atmosphere and aesthetic, big concepts and even bigger senses of scale, feeding on cosmic horror of the deep sea and vastness of space and the emotions these can invoke. His main fixes within the dark arts include horror films, extreme metal music and the bleakest of poetry and science fiction literature.
He holds a deep respect for plot, creative flow and the context of art, and hopes to forge deeper connections between them around filmmakers dabbling in the dark and macabre.

The Bloodhound from Filmmaker Patrick Picard
No Comments on The Bloodhound from Filmmaker Patrick Picard
The Bloodhound is the directorial debut from Patrick Picard, and is loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story, The Fall of The House of Usher (1839). The story follows a disenchanted young man who visits his elusive childhood friend at the request of a beckoning letter, and the uncomfortable terrors that follow.
Clocking in at only 72 minutes, this psychological slow-burn explores a few of the themes and ideas of its inspirational ancestor, using a few key plot points from the short story to present its ideas, though for the most part remains its own film completely. Inclusions such as the titular, and likely metaphorical, antagonist himself and the modernised setting of the Luret mansion enable a fresh horror to be invoked from the work while key themes retain what made the original so chilling.
These themes are as relevant now as they were almost two hundred years ago; social isolation, mental health (with obvious correlations between the two), and obligations felt through different relationships. Although ideas of friendship are explored in some emotional ways, a rather cold atmosphere permeates the picture, aided by uncannily stilted performances from its two leads. These, along with beautiful, yet clinically-focused camerawork give the impression of looking into another universe at times.
As mentioned, this is another slow one, but if you've read any of my previous articles you should almost expect that by now. Rather than rely on scenery or atmosphere The Bloodhound is primarily dialogue-driven, as expected from a classic story adaptation. And it's expertly handled by the two leads Joe Adler and Liam Aikan, both in delivery and consistent conviction until the final scene. You feel every pinch of Francis' (Aikan) discomfort at the whims of the eccentric and disturbed Jean Paul Luret (Adler) and the growing distrust by both of them as each narrative intricacy reveals itself.
The Bloodhound plays out much like an upper-class The Lighthouse (2019) in many ways, with a modernised dash of Alex Garland's Ex-Machina (2014). With plenty enough detail within its short runtime to keep the most perceptive viewer engaged. It appears almost play-like with its limited cast, allowing plenty of opportunity for them to bounce off each other and get the most out of plot and setting. It revels in the confusion of the viewer, being that much of the information ascertained is unreliable, which bleeds through into our viewing experience as we start to doubt the things we are seeing are real. Those favouring familiar plots and more immediate scares may become frustrated.
Even Francis, our initially implied connection with sanity, begins to act oddly. Where most would have undoubtedly left the Luret household after many of JP's increasingly hostile antics, Francis stays to enact his own motives, leaving us all the more alone in the Luret mansion. The chemistry between these two characters is so engrossing at times that any 'horror scene' that does fall upon us is made all the more jarring because of it. This elevates the film from effective psychological horror to a testament to the importance of strong acting and direction within the genre.
The Bloodhound is an intense, atmospheric and darkly comedic tribute to Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher, and a strong first entry for Patrick Picard. If his work continues to exude the same unsettling nihilistic macabre as this debut offering then I for one am in for the long haul.

← The first Green Deal Plans are ready to go!
Solar thermodynamic heating is a form of renewable heating that is supposed to produce heat come rain or shine – even in the snow, apparently!
Solar thermodynamic heating is not currently accredited under the MCS scheme, but we understand that this is because there are complications with regards to the ability to measure the technology's performance (and therefore the amount due for the grant) rather than it not being an effective renewable energy solution. This means that they do not qualify for either the Feed in Tariff or the Renewable Heat Incentive currently. This is not to say that this will not change in the future. You can find more information in our news post on the MCS suspension for thermodynamic products.
How does a thermodynamic system work?
They are a form of heat collector that uses solar energy to heat coolant that in turn is used to heat water for heating or hot water inside your home. In very simplistic terms, they work like a cross between solar thermal panels and an air source heat pump. The theory is that this makes them more efficient than traditional solar thermal panels, particularly when there is no direct sunlight, which is estimated to produce only about a quarter of the heat they produce.
The coolant is passed through a compressor to concentrate the heat, just like in a heat pump, and then a heat exchanger which heats your water so you can use it for washing or heating. They do need an immersion heater to boost the temperature a little to a usable level.
How good are thermodynamic panels?
The reality is hard to know for sure. We have not had contact with anyone who has done any meaningful comparisons, and there are no independent tests available.
Solar thermodynamic panel manufacturers claim that they produce over 3 times the energy that they use to run, so they are apparently fairly efficient. They don't currently qualify for the available grants (FITs or RHPP), however, which make the financial returns significantly less attractive.
If you spent in the region of £6,000 on a thermodynamic system (a single panel and a 250 litre tank) you should get sufficient hot water to meet the needs of a 3 bed house.
While you cannot register solar thermodynamic heating under the MCS, this is simply because they cannot register them, rather than any sign of poor performance. You are perfectly free to have them fitted – and if you do, please tell us all about your experience.
Have a look at our free energy assessment to see what other energy saving solutions might be suitable for your home.

V úvodní části glosuje aktuální události, příp. se poptá, zda je přítomen pan Odvárka, divák, který nechybí na žádném natáčení. Pan Odvárka slovy Jana Krause "zásadně nejezdí na zahraniční natáčení", a proto chyběl v dílech natáčených v zahraničí; v New Yorku ho zastoupil režisér Miloš Forman. Během natáčení 11. 3. 2020 byla zrušena divadelní představení pro více než 100 lidí, což bylo vyřešeno tím, že v publiku seděl pouze pan Odvárka.
Postupně přicházejí na jeviště tři hosté, výjimečně dvojice a dva hosté. První host bývá zpravidla nejvýznamnější, třetí je většinou zajímavý ve smyslu kuriozity. Na konci pořadu se Jan Kraus loučí slovy "Dámy a pánové, já vám děkuji za pozornost, to je pro dnešek všechno a těším se s vámi za týden na shledanou buď tady v divadle Archa nebo u televizních obrazovek nebo na YouTube a pokud se budete dívat, bude to hodně prima." Následuje závěrečná znělka, titulky, přičemž Jan Kraus předává hostům loutky – marionety, kopie sebe sama – a magazín KRAUS.

Jan Kraus
Český herec, moderátor a bavič Jan Kraus, typický svým břitkým humorem a pohotovostí, se neskrývá se svými společenskými názory a vyjadřuje se k dění v ČR. Na televizi Prima přešel kvůli neshodám s vedením České televize (talk show Uvolněte se, prosím). Jelikož práva na pořad vlastnila Česká televize, přivedl na TV Prima novou talk show. Jeho účast v TV Prima doplnilo ještě křeslo v porotě talentové show Česko Slovensko má talent.

Hosté
Jan Kraus do pořadu zve zpravidla tři hosty. V show se již objevily desítky známých i méně známých, ale vždy něčím zajímavých lidí. V pořadu účinkují politici, herci, zpěváci, malíři, spisovatelé, režiséři, sportovci, lékaři, vědci, podnikatelé a lidé mnoha dalších profesí, zájmů, schopností či dovedností. Zcela první trojici hostů tvořili český politik Vít Bárta, zpěvačka skupiny Toxique Klára Vytisková a fakír Petr Fiedor.

Díly
K červnu 2013 měl pořad na svém kontě 126 dílů. Od 22. srpna 2013 začala na TV Prima druhá řada. Některé díly se natáčely mimo Česko, např. v New Yorku, Bratislavě či v Miláně.

Industries > Oil + Gas > Refining
Refining is an essential part of meeting the growing demand for energy.
An oil or petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where crude oil is processed and refined into more useful products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas. Oil refineries are typically large, sprawling industrial complexes with extensive piping running throughout, carrying streams of fluids between large chemical processing units.
Major processes which use Dresser-Rand equipment —
Naphtha Hydrotreater Unit – uses hydrogen to desulfurize naphtha from atmospheric distillation. Must hydrotreat the naphtha before sending to a catalytic reformer unit.
Catalytic Reformer Unit – is used to convert the naphtha-boiling range molecules into higher octane reformate (reformer product). The reformate has higher content of aromatics and cyclic hydrocarbons. An important byproduct of a reformer is hydrogen released during the catalyst reaction. The hydrogen is used either in the hydrotreaters or the hydrocracker.
Distillate Hydrotreater desulfurizes distillates (such as diesel) after atmospheric distillation.
Fluid Catalytic Cracker (FCC) unit upgrades heavier fractions into lighter, more valuable products.
Hydrocracker unit uses hydrogen to upgrade heavier fractions into lighter, more valuable products.
Coking Units (delayed coker, fluid coker, and flexicoker) process very heavy residual oils into gasoline and diesel fuel, leaving petroleum coke as a residual product.
Alkylation Unit uses sulfuric acid or hydrofluoric acid to produce high-octane components for gasoline blending.
Steam Reforming Unit – produces hydrogen for the hydrotreaters or hydrocracker.
Liquefied Gas Storage Vessels – store propane and similar gaseous fuels at pressure sufficient to maintain them in liquid form. These are usually spherical vessels or "bullets" (i.e., horizontal vessels with rounded ends).
Amine Gas Treater – Claus Unit, and tail gas treatment convert hydrogen sulfide from hydrodesulfurization into elemental sulfur.
Utility units – such as cooling towers circulate cooling water, boilerplants generates steam, and instrument air systems include pneumatically operated control valves and an electrical substation.

SNP MSP Joan McAlpine has launched a broadside at the Royal Bank of Scotland for the loss of banking services across Dumfries and Galloway.
Giving a speech to Parliament, during a debate highlighting the negative impact of branch losses, Ms. McAlpine warned that planned closures would have a devastating impact on the largely rural communities throughout the region.
Earlier this year, RBS – a bank 62% owned by the UK government – announced that it planned to close 16 branches across South Scotland. This came on top of extensive closures previously announced by RBS and Bank of Scotland.
"I have been struck by the contempt that the bank has shown to customers in my constituency.
"Customers such as those in Langholm, Lockerbie and Annan all lost their branches earlier this year.
67% of people over the age of 75 in Scotland do not use the internet. It follows that the elderly and the vulnerable are likely to be hit the hardest by the closures.
Older people express a preference for face-to-face engagement in branch banking – a lack of faith in digital banking and the cost of accessing technology serves as a deterrent.


In a strange marketing move, Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:SUNW) has changed their ticker symbol to NASDAQ:JAVA. SUNW stood for "Stanford University Network Workstation".
Am I the only person who doesn't feel this Java hype is right for Sun? They already have a Java Desktop System (that is little more than Gnome) and a Java Enterprise System that really isn't about Java and so on. Besides, I find Java doesn't have that great an overall image to begin with..
Also, it seems this was one of the reasons for the recent drop in stock value (the old SUNW is gone and there's a new symbol called "JAVA" that brokers don't know what to think of. Confusing investors is never a good idea...).

Trek Moment
Meet a Louisiana swamp tour guide!
September 16, 2016 Milly TrekAmerica
If you're travelling via New Orleans with us, one activity on our tours that never fails to impress is a stop-off at Dr. Wagner's Honey Island Swamp Tours to take a peek at the amazing Louisiana swamp wildlife. (Yep, that includes alligators!)
We quizzed Captain Paul, a Honey Island Swamp tour guide about the alligators, amazing scenery and...Bigfoot?!
Could you tell us a bit about yourself and how you became a swamp tour guide?
I was born just outside New Orleans and have always been an avid outdoorsman. My father has been with the company for 33 years and about 10 years ago I found it to be a great opportunity to be a part of a small family run company. I got my captain's license, and the rest is history!
Can you tell us a bit about the Honey Island swamp and its history?
The Honey Island Swamp originally got its name from the colonies of honey bees that called the island its home. It's considered to be one of the least-altered river swamps in the United States. The swamp covers an area that is approximately 20 miles (30km) long and seven miles (10km) wide. Of these 70,000 acres, some 35,000 acres are sanctioned by the government as permanently protected wildlife management area.
What kinds of wildlife can visitors see on a swamp tour?
While all of the wildlife we see in the swamp is wild and not in captivity, we regularly see alligators, raccoons, wild boars, snakes, turtles, owls, herons and other waterfowl. We also have a large diversity of frogs – Pig Frog, American Bullfrog, Southern Leopard Frog, Bird-Voiced Tree Frog, Green Tree Frog, and Chorus Frog, to name a few. There have even been sightings of red wolf, deer, otter, beaver, and mink. The Honey Island Swamp also has an active bald eagle nest that has been occupied since 1910.
Alligators are a big draw for swamp visitors – can you tell us a bit about the alligators in your area?
In Louisiana, we have the American Alligator, which happens to be the largest reptile in North America. While we currently have a stable and sustainable amount of alligators in Louisiana, back in the 1960s the number of alligators had declined significantly due to the increased want for alligator products (belts, boots, saddles, and their oils). More recently, it has been estimated that Louisiana has the highest alligator population in the US with approximately two million alligators. Needless to say, we see plenty of alligators during the summer and fall months!
Alligators are typically docile in nature and are very inquisitive of their surroundings. They are highly likely to swim right up the boat to see what is going on. We suggest you remain seated even while the boat is not moving as these large alligators can essentially jump their body length out of the water. We see alligators anywhere from six inches to over 13 feet long.
As well as the potential animal sightings, what else can passengers expect to experience?
Besides the diverse amount of wildlife you're likely to encounter, the Honey Island Swamp is a true tupelo and cypress swamp. Once off the West Pearl River, our boats travel deep through the backwaters through different bayous and sloughs lined with lush cypress trees. While the boats are travelling through the different bayous, look towards the banks to find wild iris and azaleas, oaks, and towering magnolia trees.
We've heard a rumour about some possible Bigfoot sightings in the area...have you ever seen or heard anything you can't explain?!
They say back in 1922 a passenger train had collided with the Wortham Carnival Show's circus train; passengers and animals alike had perished in the wreck except for a car of chimpanzees. Now these chimpanzees were supposedly were able to survive and somehow managed to crossbreed with the alligators; call it what you will, locally we refer to it as the Wookie!
Supposedly seven feet tall, it has a putrid stench about it, and leaves behind three webbed toes footprints behind. While we've been in business for 34 years and have yet to see the elusive creature, there are plenty of noises, howling, and grunts that are unexplainable. While it might just be wildlife hiding in the dense and lush grasses or frogs clinging to the leaves and bark of trees, they say the Wookie is out and about...so keep your eyes peeled!
What's your personal favourite thing about your job?
While being able to be outside all day long and on the water is definitely a perk to the job, personally my two favourite aspects to the job are being able to educate people and simply meeting people from all over the world. People have travelled from all corners of the world and have made a pit stop to come and see us.
While some people are definitely more interested in learning about the ecosystem and how it works, others simply want to kick back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful scenery the Honey Island Swamp has to offer. While we may all have our differences in the world, it's neat to be able to see the commonalities in people enjoying nature and being excited about seeing the larger alligators; it just never gets old!
Do you have any particular memorable moments from doing the tours?
It's difficult to pick out one particular moment from a specific tour. Every tour is completely different and you honestly never see the same things twice. Honestly what makes the best tours, for me, are the people on the boat. I've basically seen it all, except for the Wookie, so I'm more excited to be able to share my knowledge and experience with people from all over the world. We hope we're able to create memorable moments for our guests!

On this day in 1990, two days after a federal court declares the 2 Live Crew album As Nasty As They Wanna Be legally obscene, Charles Freeman, the owner of a record store in Ft. Lauderdale, was arrested for selling the album by six county sheriff's deputies who are working undercover.
He is later found guilty of selling obscene material and fined $1000. Police may have had motive for targeting Freeman, as he was later arrested for selling cocaine.


Taking part in races is a personal choice and not one that we expect all members of our group to do. Some may have other commitments on Saturday mornings when we offer regular racing, while others may not have joined the club to compete.
3k race at Motts Field (CB9 0LP) starting at 9am. This is our regular distance and is ideal for this age group.
5k Haverhill Parkrun at Puddle Brook Playing Fields (Greenfields Way, CB9 8NJ) at 9am. We suggest members only do this event once every four weeks, for which we require parental permission.
Members are informed of other races in the region, both individual and relay events. In the summer of 2018 we organised a 2k race for juniors in Kedington as part of the club's event in the Kevin Henry series. See the results at the bottom of this page.
Please let us know if you compete in races that we may not be aware of. We would love to share your results, as well as any photos, with the rest of the group.
Benji, Sorren, Brian and Angus?
Ben and Adam took part in the monthly time trial and both got PBs. Ben ran a stunning 19.41 and came ninth and Adam beat his dad in a time of 25.06.
The club hosted the final race in the Suffolk Winter League on Sunday 24 March and it saw an amazing turnout from our juniors – 14 of them altogether, including our three recent joiners. It looked like a gruelling course but they all rose to the challenge. Well done to all of them and here are the results with the age group position.
Here are the runners soon after the start.
And at the end with just 50 metres to go.
You might have wondered where Tobin was. Well, he wasn't wearing an HRC vest so he wasn't picked up by our photographer, but someone else spotted him.
Ben and Harry had also both taken part in four races in the league qualifying them for a final league position: Ben 3rd and Harry 9th, both in the U13s.
Ben took part in the UK Inter Counties Cross Country Championships held on Saturday 9 March at Loughborough, representing Suffolk in the U13s Boys race. He came 193 out of 300 – a really good experience for Ben. Results are here.
Harry took part in the fifth race in the Suffolk Winter League, held at Fritton Lake on Sunday 10 March. Cold and muddy! Official results here.
Six runners took part in the fourth race of the Suffolk Winter League held in Bury St Edmonds on Sunday 17 February. Described as lumpy!
The results for the boys: Ben 11th (2nd in age group); Benji 20th; Harry 21st; Jed 24th; George 30th; and for the girls: Juliet 16th. For the full results click here.
For the full results go to Suffolk County Athletic Association.

As 'President' Biden Cowers At Camp David, The United States Military Under His Order Suffering Humiliating And Crushing Defeat In Afghanistan
President Joe Biden, who left for vacation to Camp David on Thursday, ordered an additional 1,000 American troops to Kabul to assist in evacuating U.S. Embassy staff and Afghans applying for American visas, bringing the total of U.S. forces heading to Kabul up to 4,000, to assist the approximately 650 U.S. troops already there. Earlier on Sunday, Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani fled the country. The collapse of the U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan came at stunning speed. U.S. intelligence estimates had predicted a collapse over months, not days. U.S. military officials up through Friday insisted a collapse was not "inevitable."
by	Geoffrey Grider	August 15, 2021
The United States ambassador in Afghanistan has fled the U.S. Embassy in Kabul for the airport, according to multiple news reports. This is President Joe Biden's Saigon moment. And unfortunately, it was very predictable.
President Trump had a deal all worked out and in place to ensure that the United States military could withdraw from Afghanistan with strength and dignity, and all Joe Biden had to do was simply abide by the conditions already set in place. Had he done that, it would have been a huge win for the Biden administration, and they would have been credited for successful withdraw instead of Trump. It was a no-brainer. Then Joe did some 'thinking', and everything changed
"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)
Right now the whole world is watching in real-time the stunning and nearly unimaginable defeat the US military is having at the hands of the Joe Biden Pentagon. American flags are being burned, US personnel are fleeing in terror, and the Taliban suddenly looks like the new champion. The only thing that could make this worse would be hostage videos, with American soldiers confessing in a darkened room, with a gun to their head. Something makes me think we just might see that before all this is over. What a sad, pathetic day for the greatest military force ever assembled, the United States military, who at the moment, are leaderless.
Escape from Kabul: U.S. Ambassador Flees Embassy, Americans Told to 'Shelter in Place'
FROM BREITBART NEWS: The ambassador fleeing the embassy came after Biden administration officials insisted the embassy would remain open. According to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, the airport was "taking fire," and Americans were instructed to "shelter in place" at the airport.
The Embassy's security alert said:
Event: The security situation in Kabul is changing quickly including at the airport. There are reports of the airport taking fire; therefore we are instructing U.S. citizens to shelter in place. U.S. citizens wanting assistance in departing the country should register for any option that might be identified to return to the United States, and must complete this Repatriation Assistance Request for each traveler in their group. Spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens in Afghanistan who are awaiting immigrant visas should also complete this form if they wish to depart. Please do so as soon as possible. You must complete this form even if you've previously submitted your information to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. Do not call the U.S. Embassy in Kabul for details or updates about the flight. This form is the only way to communicate interest in flight options.
This Is What Weakness Looks Like
WHERE'S JOE? Biden slammed for taking VERY long weekend getaway at Camp David as Taliban jihadis overrun Afghanistan
