Is your home screaming for an update?
Are you a Baby Boomer who would like to stay in your home for as long as you wish to do so?
to make this the best time in your life.
You love the neighborhood, the property, the lake or whatever and just can't bear the thought of moving. Problem is your home is no longer serving your needs or is just plain worn out. Or maybe you are downsizing into a new habitat that needs a little tender loving care. I can help you integrate aesthetics with a level of functionality and safety so no one knows where one ends and the other starts.
Now is the time to have that kitchen and bath of your dreams. And perhaps you should also consider removing that dated wallcovering in an adjoining area that you installed back in the '80's. Are you holding on to things that no longer serve you? You are in a new phase of your life and you need the space around you to reflect and support that. I will help you integrate the new so it flows seamlessly with existing elements that need to remain. You need an overall plan to invest your monies wisely and keep you on track to achieve a home of harmony and bliss.
A home that flows in harmony breeds a life in harmony!
All projects start with an initial consultation which will begin the process of analyzing your needs, wants, goals, space and budget. From the information gathered I will present a preliminary design concept which will help you visualize the solutions that will revolutionize your life. Once we are in agreement on the general direction of your project, we will proceed with the design development which will adequately and meticulously describe the project to all contractors involved. Floorplans, elevations, color and material selections will be documented to ensure accurate bids are acquired. Having a plan will circumvent any big surprises down the road or disasters that occur when you listen to too many voices that only have their own narrow agenda in mind. During the construction process, I will remain onboard as a consultant to ensure proper interpretation of the plan is delivered. You can expect a few bumps in the road during construction. There always are. As your designer I will represent your interests and work as a team with your contractors to troubleshoot any issues that may come up.
Complete my Client Questionnaire to schedule a complimentary phone consultation to review your project and/or schedule an onsite consultation in your home.
Review my Local Design Process prior to your complimentary phone consult and I will address any other questions you may have about the way I work.
The first onsite consultation will continue the programming phase of your project to create a big picture vision of your goals, needs, desires and budget. Preliminary recommendations and suggestions will be made that will propel you forward towards achieving your goals.
A Letter of Agreement will be provided following the onsite consultation which will require a signature and specified deposits if you wish to move forward towards completion of your project.
All projects begin with an onsite consultation for up to three hours at a flat rate of $450. Preliminary intros and groundwork have been established through the complementary phone consultation which allows me to deliver real value and input to your project at our very first meeting. You will experience first hand how I work to determine if you wish to move forward with your project under my guidance.
The parameters of a remodel project can vary greatly. Following our onsite consultation I will submit a Letter of Agreement which will break your project down into three phases. A flat fee will be assigned to the preliminary design concept which allows for one revision. Any further revisions may incur an additional $125.00 hourly fee. A flat fee with a cap on hours and time frame will be provided for design concept development and specifications. Anything exceeding the estimated hours and/or time frame will be subject to an additional $125.00 hourly fee. The time I allow for each phase is reasonable and possible based on my experience. Any additional fees will be largely dependent on the client and their level of decisiveness and/or need for multiple options. A flat fee will also be given which will cover up to 3 meetings and/or phone consultations with contractors to ensure proper interpretation of documents delivered. Additional packages of time (10 hours for $1000.00) can be purchased for routine inspections during the process of the project which I highly recommend.
Payment for each phase is due prior to onset of work performed. If at any time you are unhappy with the progress of the job, you have the option of not proceeding to the next phase.
As a general guide, my average design fee (not including the initial consultation) for a bathroom or kitchen conceptual design ranges between $2000.00-$4,000.00 depending on the level of service and detail required. Additional concepts for adjoining room redesign usually fall between $1000.00-$3,000.00. A probable cost for your project can be more closely determined at the time of our complimentary consultation providing you have submitted appropriate information through the questionnaire submitted.
Successful home renovation requires careful planning. Working with an Interior Designer will save you time and money. No more aggravation of making wrong choices. I will relieve you of all the stress in the multitude of decisions to be made to create a sanctuary you will truly cherish!


The Jan. 11 opinion piece in The Tech titled "A Not-So-Merry Christmas in Jerusalem" was littered with factual inaccuracies. Thankfully, The Tech addressed two such examples in a follow-up issuing of corrections, namely the false claims that Israeli authorities did not permit Christmas decorations and that there was no international support in the U.N. for the U.S. recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
I am writing this letter, however, because these corrections do not cover all of the false claims made in the piece. Especially for a topic as sensitive and often inflammatory as this, it is important that the discussion remain truthful and precise. If truth becomes arbitrary, then there will never be a productive conversation on the topic, let alone meaningful resolution.
For this reason, it is important to bring to light all inaccuracies demonstrated in this piece that were not mentioned in the corrections. I hope such inaccuracies will be avoided in the future.
The opening sentences of the article claims that there were no Christmas trees in Jerusalem this year and that it has "been some time" since Jerusalem was decorated with Christmas trees. Not only were Christmas trees present in Jerusalem, as demonstrated in a picture provided in a comment on the online version of the article, and not only did the Jerusalem municipality encouraged their presence through free distribution, but this has also been the case for years.
The authors claimed that there was "and will be no Christmas joy" in Jerusalem this year. Through this broad, unsupportable claim, the authors failed to address the various celebrations that occurred throughout the city in celebration of the holiday, such as numerous mass and religious ceremonies, concerts, carols, tours, and influx of Christian visitors from around the world, including Christian Arabs from Hamas and PLO controlled areas.
The authors also claim that "In reality, all Palestinians…have suffered from Zionist aggressions…" and that they are all subjected to different laws. This is another broad and unsupportable claim that speaks for a large group of diverse people and fails to address the complex reality. For example, this claim ignores efforts made by Israel, such as providing huge amounts of aid, as well as the role played by Palestinian leaders, such as Hamas and the PLO, in issues plaguing Palestinian society. Additionally, the sole legal distinction between Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel is that Arabs are not drafted into the army but can choose to serve. When stating "some are not even citizens," the article fails to mention that after the Independence War in 1948 and the Six Day War in 1967, both of which were defensive wars in reaction to Arab aggression and instigation, Israel offered citizenship to those Arabs living in acquired territories. For example, after the Six Day War Israel offered citizenship to those living in the eastern portion of Jerusalem that was previously controlled by Jordan. In both cases, most offers for citizenship were refused.
Later in the piece, the authors incorrectly claimed, "the ruling party voted to annex the remainder of Palestinian land." While there were votes about annexing specific pre-existing settlements, there was no vote on annexing the entire west bank. In fact, the subheading of the article provided by the authors as a source even makes this distinction, saying, "Likud's resolution calls for formal annexation of parts… of the West Bank." Of course, it is important to note that under most peace plans, there would be land swaps.
Furthermore, the authors claim that the U.S. attempted to "decide the outcome of one of the most crucial components of negotiations…" However, at no point in the declaration did the Trump Administration claim to decide any such outcomes. In fact, Trump explicitly said that moving the embassy to Jerusalem would have no bearing on the city's status under any peace agreement.
Later on in the article, the authors claim, "Palestinians have participated in non-violent protests" of the declaration and that "the result has been devastating…Palestinians have been killed…most recently, a 17-year old boy named Musab al Tamimi." This statement implies that any injuries sustained were in result of non-violent protests. However, this is factually inaccurate, as such protests were indeed violent and included protesters throwing Molotov Cocktails and stones. Besides for the omission regarding the violent protests, when looking at the source provided to support their claims, it is clear that the authors were not interested in accurately reflecting the situation. The very source provided by the authors directly contradicts their claims when it states: "Musab's killing, … is unrelated to the protests against Trump's move…" This is a blatant disregard for their own source in an attempt to use a boy's death to further the authors' narrative.

Trump signs bill to clear backlog of untested DNA evidence
The law will fund rape kit testing for police departments nationwide
Masooma Haq
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump signed the Debbie Smith Reauthorization Act into law on Dec. 30. The legislation helps fund the testing of the massive volume of backlogged rape kits.
The law gives $151 million to the Department of Justice for each of Fiscal Years 2019-2024 for the Debbie Smith DNA Backlog Grant Program; $12.5 million for DNA training and education programs; and $30 million for the Sexual Assault Forensic Exam Grant Program.

Free online toolkit can help address rape kit backlog
The law will fund the testing of many thousands of rape kits sitting on shelves in police departments and labs throughout the United States. Rape kits are critical tools in sexual violence investigations. This law will be instrumental in getting more cases tested and lead to crucial answers for victims of rape. The goal is to reduce the number of backlogs and delays in investigative DNA testing of rape kits.
Congress first passed the Debbie Smith DNA Backlog Elimination Act In 2004 with bipartisan support. This grant program provided state and local crime labs with critical funding needed to clear the backlog of DNA evidence and offender samples.
According to a 2018 Justice Department report, since 2005, funding to local and state crime laboratories for DNA analysis through the Debbie Smith Act has enabled law enforcement to process more than 860,000 DNA cases (pdf) and has allowed more than 376,000 DNA profiles to be uploaded into the Combined DNA Index System.
In mid-2018 Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) conducted a Judiciary Committee hearing to evaluate the DNA Backlog and Capacity Enhancement Program.
In his opening statement to the committee, the senator summarized some of the committee's key concerns about the timely testing of DNA rape kits. The purpose of the hearing was to assess the progress made in ending the backlog and ensure victims are being served.
Grassley said that there is still no definitive number given to the committee of DNA kits waiting to be analyzed. Despite the federal funding, there have been reports over the years about the number of untested rape kits being in the thousands.
"It's concerning that we still don't know how many evidence kits have yet to be submitted to crime labs for analysis. USA Today reported several years ago that the number could be in the hundreds of thousands," Grassley's statement read.
Grassley also voiced concerns about how the grant money was to be used. He said it's possible that the Justice Department should "proactively do more to encourage capacity enhancement, if DNA backlogs are a persistent, long term problem for crime labs."
"As jurisdictions receiving DNA backlog grants have adopted new policies that impact this program's effectiveness in reducing DNA backlogs, we may need to consider updates to the program to reflect changing realities," he added. "Nearly fifteen years ago, we embarked on a mission to eliminate the DNA backlog. We sought to ensure that law enforcement had all the tools necessary to quickly apprehend the perpetrators of these heinous crimes."

Q: How to transform json data to a comma separated php string? Let's say i have this json data. How to transform the "tags" to a string like
$tags = "Rihanna, We, Found, Love, (Explicit), Def, Jam, Records, Pop"; ?
{ "apiVersion" : "2.1",
      "data" : { "items" : [ { "accessControl" : { "autoPlay" : "allowed",

                "tags" : [ "Rihanna",
                    "We",
                    "Found",
                    "Love",
                    "(Explicit)",
                    "Def",
                    "Jam",
                    "Records",
                    "Pop"
                  ],
                "title" : "Rihanna - We Found Love ft. Calvin Harris"
              } ],

        }
    }

For the title as example, the script looks like this:
$content = $this->getDataFromUrl($feedURL);
$content = json_decode($content,true);

$videosList = $content['data']['items'];

for($i=0; $i<count($videosList); $i++) {

$videosDatas['videos'][$i]['title'] = $videosList[$i]['title'];

}

A: $comma_sep_string = implode(', ' , $videosDatas['videos'][$i]['tags']);

A: It looks like you need implode(). The function would be something like...
$tags = implode(', ', $videosDatas['videos'][$i]['tags']);

A: Try:
foreach($videosList as $i=>$video){
    $videosDatas['videos'][$i]['title'] = $video->title;
    $tags = implode(', ',$video->tags);
    $videosDatas['videos'][$i]['tags'] = $tags;
}

In place of your code:
for($i=0; $i<count($videosList); $i++) {

$videosDatas['videos'][$i]['title'] = $videosList[$i]['title'];

}

Маленькі монстри () — американська чорна комедія 1989 року, в якій знялися Фред Севідж та Хауї Мандель. Фільм «Маленькі монстри» розповідає історію хлопчика, який знайомиться з реальним «монстром, що живе під ліжком» та відкриває таємничий світ монстрів, які вночі прокрадаються до дитячих кімнат та бешкетують там.

Сюжет
Сім'я 11-літнього Браяна Стівенсон (Фред Севідж) щойно переїхала до передмістя Бостона, і він почуває себе вкрай самотнім у новому оточенні. Одного ранку Браяна звинувачують у тому що він став причиною декількох халеп, але він стверджує, що невинний. Разом з цим Браян звинувачує свого молодшого брата Еріка (Бен Севідж) у всіх негараздах оскільки той і так бреше, він навіть розказував що бачив монстра під своїм ліжком. Дорослі стають на бік Еріка та невірять Браяну. Розсерджений Браян того ж дня у школі вихоплює обід молодшого брата і викидає його у вікно, несподіванно попадаючи в Ронні Коулмана (Девід Ретрей), шкільного хулігана. Все завершується бійкою у шкільному коридорі, яка закінчується візитом до кабінету директора школи.

Тієї ночі, сплячи в кімнаті Еріка для того щоб довести, що ніяких монстрів не існує, Браян чує шурхотіння та шум, джерелом якого є щось під ліжком брата. Згодом переляканий Брайан іде спати на канапу у вітальні. Наступного ранку Ерік і його друг Тодд знаходять Браяна сплячим у вітальні і починають жартувати про те, що Браян боягуз та боїться ночувати у кімнаті брата. Брайан вирішує довести, що це неправда і погоджується провести наступну ніч на самоті у кімнаті Еріка. Наступної ночі рішучий Браян встановлює пастки з приманку у вигляді сиру, відкручує ніжки у ліжку, щоб коли потрібно ліжко розвалилося та впало на «монстра». Завдяки усім цім приготуванням він досягає успіху, захоплюючи зловмисника: блакитного монстра на ім'я Моріс (Хауі Мандель). Хоча спочатку наляканий і здивований, Браян незабаром розуміє, що він і Моріс поділяють однакові інтереси та їм є про що поговорити. Хлопчик і монстр починають товаришувати. Протягом декількох ночей Моріс показує Браяну світ монстрів вхід до якого знаходиться під ліжком Еріка. Цей світ складається з мрії кожної дитини: там всюди нездорова але смачна їжа, комікси та відеоігри, в які можна грати коли хочеш, і немає дорослих якіб казали, що правильно, а що ні. В цьому світі є незліченна кількість сходів, що ведуть до виходів, що розташовані під дитячими ліжками, з яких монстри виходять у ночі для бешкетування та залякування дітей. Моріс і Браян весело проводять час пробираючись у будинки інших людей, і Брайан відчуває, що нарешті знайшов справжнього друга; хоча Брайан починає помічати, що щось у ньому змінюється.

Однієї ночі Моріс приводить Браяна разом з кількома іншими монстрами до спальні немовляти, з намірами сильно налякати маленьку дитину. Браян вважає це жорстокістю, і намагається увімкнути світло, щоб змусити монстрів зникнути залишивши після себе тільки одяг (це відбувається завжди, коли на монстра попадає бодай маленька часточка світла). Він відкриває двері спальні, і світло з передпокою потрапляє в спальню дитини. Роблячи це, Браян дізнається, що він також поступово перетворюється на монстра, оскільки коли світло потрапило на нього то він також поступово починає зникати. Це лякає Браяна і він хоче вернутися до свого нормально життя, але у монстрів зовсім інші плани щодо нього.

У ролях

Фред та Бен Севідж, які є реальними братами зіграли роль братів і у фільмі — Браяна та Еріка, їх сестра Кала також знімалася у цьому фільмі, вона грає маленького монстра.

Вихід фільму на екрани
Виробництво стрічки було профінансувався кінокомпанією Vestron Pictures. Разом з кількома іншими фільмами, права на розповсюдження «Маленьких монстрів» були продані Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer / United Artists після банкрутства Vestron Pictures (хоча кінокомпанія зберегла за собою деякі закордонні права на розповсюдження фільмів). Через низку таких невдач з правами на розповсюдження, фільм згодом вийшов лише в обмежений прокат, і лише 179 кінотеатрів США показали фільм на своїх екранах. Фільм провалився у прокаті та зібрав лише 800 000 доларів США при бюджеті у 7 мільйоні.. Випуск DVD відбувся у Сполучених Штатах та Канаді 6 квітня 2004 року.

The garden is not looking so rough around the edges at the moment, but is still slowly taking form as a blank canvas in areas. The back bed has been filled in and covered with the oaten hay that we picked up some months back.
At the far end I have "thrown in" quite a number of different potatoes that have been floating around for quite some time. The idea being that this bed will sit for a while to allow it to break down and they will either grow or they won't!
I anticipate keeping the bed moist to get the worms involved as soon as possible. Basically, it will be a giant worm farm with plenty of material underneath the hay to keep them happy.
I have only recently come across some information on building soil that is stirring my interest in the creation of good soil for high productivity. I found this article in a search at the Savvy Vegetarian site. The article raised some new concepts for me but my main attention was in the amount of carbon stored in the soil. This confirmed also other information I had come across on bio-intensive farming at the Grow Biointensive website. I have put in bold type the bit that interested me the most.
In the GROW BIOINTENSIVE system, .soil fertility is maintained by allotting 60% of what is grown to compost crops. A focus on the production, through these crops, of calories for the gardener and carbon for the soil can ensure that both the gardener and the soil will be adequately fed and that the farm will be sustainable. Because this biologically-intensive method requires much less area to produce the same yield of crops as conventional agriculture, if it were used globally at least one-half of the world's acreage could be left in the wild for the preservation of the all important plant and animal diversity.
I had placed myself in a great position to begin the garden bed as two of the main crops used to build carbon in the soil are corn and sunflowers. High carbon crops. These have been grown throughout the summer and are now a part of the bed having harvested the seeds. Then I have also added a small amount of charcoal and some rock dust. Newspaper and green clippings from the rest of the garden tidy up make the next layer and then it is all topped off with the oaten hay.
My next plan, as mentioned above is to keep some regular water trickling through in areas to attract the earthworms and have them begin their important work. To further encourage this I have been researching microbes and am looking at regular additions of micro-organisms in various forms to enhance the break down of the carbon and speed up the earthworm action.
I have prepared home-made bokashi which is resting at the moment before application. I also have a supply of liquid microbes that will be watered over the garden from time to time. I another area I have scattered seeds that were not the best and will use this as a green manure crop, should they even grow!
The picture to the left is the side garden where the easterly has really had its way with the plants. The choko is in recovery mode now and I expect to begin seeing flowers over the next couple of weeks. The rest of the garden is being "over-hauled" to make a greener area that is actually more drought tolerant. The left garden will be used for growing a perennial zucchini and native spinach (Warrigal Greens). Some for the kitchen but also to give the chooks a year round leafy green that is low maintenance and will fill this area of the garden with its creeping nature. The right side of the path will be a selection of drought tolerant herbs such as lavender, rosemary, dogbane, oregano, sage, thyme and perhaps some marigolds. There is the odd grapevine in both beds but these may be moved. Other beds in the garden will be planted with suitable plants or shrubs, leaving the main back bed, the aquaponics and container beds to supply most of the kitchen salads and vegetables.

If we comparáramos some of our childhood toys with that many children have today, we would probably see more similarities with some African countries that our own environment. Those toys that deviate the technological, that are fair, just and perhaps therefore dearest.
This and other thoughts occur to me to explore the fascinating photographic project "Toy Stories" showing us what are the favorite toys of the children in the world. "Toy stories" is a series of Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti, who captured images of children around the world with their most prized possessions.
The photographer also noticed differences in the way that children conceived their toys and relate to them as we talk about rich or poor countries (rather, children in these situations, although often coincide).
Children from wealthy families are more possessive and it costs them to share their toys, and that they often pose surrounded by many… Paradoxically, children who have less are more willing to share. And to play with his friends on the street, even without toys.


Research on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has shown that those who show signs of dissociation at the time of a traumatic event (known as "peritraumatic dissociation") are more likely to experience acute and chronic PTSD. Until now, there had been little research about who is at risk for peritraumatic dissociation. The authors of a new study set out to examine the relationship between peritraumatic dissociation and prior major depression, prior PTSD, prior trauma, and prior peritraumatic dissociation.
Researchers recruited a group of 122 (64 male, 58 female) motor vehicle accident (MVA) subjects. The researchers used two evaluative tools: the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID), and the Peritraumatic Experiences Questionnaire-Rater Version (PDEQ-RV). Subjects were recruited either from the regional trauma center of a major suburban hospital, or through local police reports of severe MVAs. The average age of the subjects at the time of the MVA was 35.6 years. Most subjects were single (62.3%), white (76.2%), reported an income of more than $20,000 per year (64.5%), and had at least some college education (72%). All subjects had been either drivers or passengers in serious MVAs that had involved another passenger car, truck, or motorcycle.
Subjects were evaluated at one-month post-accident using the DSM-III-R (SCID) including the PTSD supplement. This test assessed both lifetime and current PTSD. Additionally the PDEQ-RV was administered to measure both past and present (MVA-associated) peritraumatic dissociation.
The authors found no relationship between present MVA-related peritraumatic dissociation and prior trauma, prior peritraumatic dissociation, or prior PTSD. The authors did find an important link between peritraumatic dissociation and prior major depression. Other research has shown a relationship between peritraumatic dissociation and subsequent depression, but this is the first study to report past depression as a risk factor for peritraumatic dissociation. Since PTSD is frequently comorbid with major depression, the authors theorize that peritraumatic dissociation may be part of the neurobiological link between major depression and PTSD. The authors suggest, "If peritraumatic dissociative symptoms are part of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying major depression, treatment of the subgroup of PTSD patients who report peritraumatic dissociation with antidepressants may be helpful in ameliorating or preventing PTSD or its often comorbid major depression."
It is unclear if severity of trauma is a good predictor of peritraumatic dissociation. Researchers in this study found that passenger injury was a risk factor for peritraumatic dissociation, which might suggest that severity of trauma is a risk factor. The authors recommend that future research on peritraumatic dissociation and passenger injury should look at when and how the subject learned of the passenger injury.
"MVAs are common and often result in PTSD. Because peritraumatic dissociation increases the risk of both acute and chronic PTSD, it is important to understand its neurobiological and psychological mechanisms. In addition, peritraumatic dissociation can be rapidly and easily assessed in MVA victims and may offer the clinician the opportunity for early psychological and pharmacological intervention with a high-risk group."

Neville believes Rashford is 'guaranteed to start' against Senegal
Gary Neville praises Marcus Rashford for returning to his best 'while still achieving great things off the pitch'… and he believes the forward is 'guaranteed to start' in England's last-16 clash with Senegal after his brace against Wales

Gary Neville believes finding the right balance between on and off-field commitments has allowed Marcus Rashford to flourish at the World Cup.
Rashford received widespread praise for raising awareness about the need for free school meals in 2020, and has continued to play an influential role ever since.
However, his performances on the football pitch tailed off last season, and after being left out of Gareth Southgate's squad for over 12 months it appeared that he may miss out on the World Cup.
Marcus Rashford scored twice for England against Wales at the World Cup on Tuesday
Gary Neville has praised the Man United forward for finding the right balance in his life
He has returned to form, though, and scored a brace against Wales on Tuesday to take his goal tally for the tournament to three. Neville has compared Rashford to another high-profile player that he played with, David Beckham, and he thinks the Manchester United forward is starting to benefit from 'simplifying his life'.
'He's back on it,' Neville said of Rashford on Sky Sports in the aftermath of England's 3-0 win over Wales.
'That period of his life through lockdown where he achieved so much off the pitch… and then it's hard. I played with David Beckham who had that off-the-field focus at times, whether it be the early parts of his career when he started going out with Victoria and he had to cope with that off-the-pitch scrutiny all the time.
'And Marcus had that for a couple of years, whereby that would have just brought a pressure. I don't like using the word "distraction" because that suggests that it was a negative and actually what he was doing was incredibly positive. But it does in some ways come away from the focus of football, because if your mind is being taken away to something else, you're not focusing on your control, your passing. You think you are, but you're not.
'We've all been there in our lives where we've had a personal issue or something that takes our focus away, and your football's just not quite the same. Marcus Rashford has got back to what he does.
'I think he's simplified his life. He's still achieving great things off the pitch but in a more measured manner. It doesn't seem as full-on. And then I think on the pitch, we're now starting to see Marcus Rashford.'
Rashford had a difficult season at Manchester United in 2021-22 under Ralf Rangnick
After struggling under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick last term, there were some calls for Manchester United to look to move Rashford on in the summer.
Neville feels that would have been a mistake, and he is glad that United stood by the striker who is now delivering for club and country.
'There were people in the last 12-18 months who said Marcus Rashford needed to be sold by Manchester United. That was never bought into by me. Manchester United never could sell Marcus Rashford. He's a massive talent,' Neville added.
'Yeah, he can improve, he will continue to improve. But it's great to see him in an England shirt. I worried a little bit in the first half when he missed that chance and I wondered whether that would play on his mind, but I was delighted that he got the two goals in the second half.'
Neville thinks Rashford has rediscovered his mojo and should start against Senegal
Southgate opted to rotate his attackers on Tuesday with England all but guaranteed a place in the last-16 heading into the match.
It appeared before the match that Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka were in pole position to come back into the side for the knockout stages having started the opening two games, but Neville now thinks Southgate cannot afford to leave Rashford on the bench against Senegal.
'I think he's pushed himself into the position… he's the one I think will start on Sunday,' Neville said.
'He's the one I think is guaranteed to start in that wide position.'

HURRAY FOR PELICAN STATE CIVIL RIGHTS—LOUISIANA LEADS THE WAY (in civil rights, possibly for the first time EVER—but this will be controversial)(hot off the presses)
What is more important to the definition of what it means to be an American: the Constitution as it was written in 1787-1792 (to include the First Ten Amendments) or the regulatory power of the state to arrest as many people as possible and throw them in jail on slim evidence of real wrongdoing to keep the (few) left outside "safe"—and more importantly, to support the power elite's establishment?
A Louisiana Judge picked up on arguments in a brief Herbert Paul Bethel recently submitted up in Fresno County, California (last October) and handed down an opinion affirming THAT THERE IS NO RATIONAL BASIS TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS, even as regards individuals released from penal custody after conviction of a "felony." THE SECOND AMENDMENT THUS JUST WON A MAJOR VICTORY in the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court from the Honorable Judge Darryl Derbigny, who basically picked up on several key points in Bethel's Brief:
(1) Once people convicted of a crime have served their time, there is no rational basis to deny them ANY further exercise of their full civil rights. This proposition is politically uncontroversial when it comes to the right to freedom of religion and freedom of speech, but many other rights of people convicted of "felonies" are curtailed, most notably the right to keep and bear arms.
(2) Judge Darryl Derbigny has now ruled, exactly as Herbert Paul Bethel argued in Fresno County, California last fall, that the United States Supreme Court's opinion in MacDonald v. City of Chicago REQUIRES that Second Amendment Rights be given equal dignity with the First, Fourth, and Fifth, at the very least.
(2) The voters of Louisiana last Fall overwhelmingly endorsed a gun rights amendment to the Louisiana Constitution which enshrined the MacDonald v. Chicago holdings in State Law—but in so doing LOUISIANA LEADS THE WAY FOR THE REST OF THE NATION TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS IS IN FACT FUNCTIONALLY AS WELL AS STRUCTURALLY EQUAL TO ALL OTHER RIGHTS SECURED BY THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
(3) Louisiana Revised Statute 14;95.1, as of today, March 23, 2013, is a DEAD LETTER on the Louisiana Law Books. No free adult person may now be denied the right to keep and bear arms in this state—HURRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA! HURRAY FOR JUDGE DARRYL DERBIGNY!
I will be writing much more about this, but wanted to alert readers to the major groundswell that this decision may precipitate. It is almost unique in the History of Louisiana that this State has ever taken the lead in the PROTECTION of Civil Rights, and it certainly happens that the Civil Rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment are among the most sacred to all Conservative, Traditional Americans.
Some American Conservatives may be traumatized by this decision, because too many American Conservatives (I hate to say this, but it's true) are unreflective hypocrites: they pledge their love of freedom, but they also love "security" and so (many, not all) "moderate" and "mainstream" Republicans (basically includes just about every single Republican in the Senate except Rand Paul and just about every single Republican in the House now that his Dad Ron has retired) would rather keep the prisons full, whether they are full of REAL criminals or not, and make "ex-cons" into permanent second-class citizens with regard to their lifelong disabilities in certain fields of life (most notably gun ownership).
On a pure "rational basis" standard, I suspect that felons who have served their time may be MORE in need of firearms for LEGITIMATE purposes of self-defense than the average American. Herbert Paul Bethel's entire story in Fresno being a case in point….
What bothers me most is that so many Conservatives in this Country do not realize how unjust America's laws have become, how ALL AMERICANS are potential "felons" within the meaning of a totally over-written, overbroad and vague set of criminal codes. And so many Americans who have yet to have a major brush with the law support the mass incarceration of their fellow citizens WITHOUT REGARD for the fact that too great a percentage of America's HUGE incarcerated population have committed at best "commercial" crimes such as drug smuggling or sales, and that the constitutionality of regulating such things is, at best, "open to question" (some would say there is no constitutional basis for the "War on Drugs" whatsoever—and I am one of THOSE….)
In this connexion: STRIKE GOVERNOR BOBBY JINDAL from your list of Republicans you might consider supporting because he immediately spoke out AGAINST Judge Derbigny's decision (and was lukewarm about the Constitutional initiative last year).

News Item from Fresno, California, November 29, 2012:
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Several people were detained at a home on Valentine and Olive in West Central Fresno while a search warrant was served.
There was a large law enforcement presence Thursday morning as several different agencies from Fresno and Kings Counties descended on the West Olive property, looking for drugs.
Authorities arrived at the house around 7:30 Thursday morning. They described the property as a large complex with at least five structures, including homes and businesses, on at least four acres.
The Clovis Police Bomb Squad, and officers with the Avenal and Hanford Police Departments assisted in the search of the complex. Authorities said at least five people were detained. Investigators are trying to determine if those people are involved in possible drug activity on the property.
Some neighbors said they have seen a lot of suspicious activity around the property — and it's not the first time the property has been raided.
"It's always been that way as long as I've lived here — and I've lived here 20 years. And this is, I think, the sixth raid on this property here, since I've been here," said Bob Ausburn, neighbor.
Olive Avenue was closed for several hours Thursday morning between Valentine and Brawley while officers searched the home. It has since re-opened.
Officers were still investigating the complex Thursday afternoon.

"Descended on the property, looking for drugs."
The article doesn't mention that the police knocked down a locked fence, tore apart several warehouses, found nothing illegal, broke into an expensive private safe, found nothing illegal, and arrested several people on charges as yet unknown and unstated.
Now as it happens, I know both the current and previous owners of the property and I happen to know that the current owner was raided EXACTLY one year ago minus one day at another large "compound" home he owns—this one in Clovis on the opposite site of Fresno. (That prior was November 30, 2011, instead of the 29th… it appears important or at least routine to have these events on a weekday followed by a court day).
http://www.fresnobee.com/2011/11/30/2633178/pot-guns-seized-in-clovis-3-arrested.html (one was a woman, a grandmother, with no criminal record whatsoever against whom no charges were ever even alleged, much less filed)
The scenario was much the same: mass arrests/detentions of American Citizens (no illegals here) without probable cause, seizure of property, and especially the seizure of cash. One individual was targeted in both raids: Herbert Paul Bethel, who has not been charged with any substantial offense in either episode (absolutely nothing in the second one). The simple truth is that Herbert Paul Bethel is the victim of "harassment under color of law."
The previous owner of the West Olive property, still resident in her long-time home, was arrested and over $30,000.00 in cash seized from her—it happens that the source of this cash was precisely THE SALE OF HER HOME. Alright, so it's a little bit strange that she kept all the cash on hand, but aside from that "appearance"—no charges against her, nothing illegal about possessing cash, whether it's "unusual" to do so or not. The current owner of the properties raided last year in Clovis and this year in S.W. Fresno was engaged in the (for California anyhow) legal endeavor of developing a medical marijuana cooperative.
For years and years now, the War on Drugs has been a War on the American People, and it has to stop. How ironic that the "War on Drugs" policy, the brainchild of "Liberal" Republican Governor of New York Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller in the 1960s, has been blindly implemented and extended by "Moderate" Republicans Richard M. Nixon and Gerald Ford, "Moderate" Democrats such as Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, "Conservative" Republicans such as Ronald Wilson Reagan and George W. Bush, "Compassionate Conservative" advocate of the New World Order George H.W. Bush, and radical Marxist-Socialist (barely closeted communist) Barack Hussein Obama equally and without hesitation or intermission.
According to my friend in Fresno who has now the dubious distinction of being raided TWICE at the end of two successive Novembers, 2011 and 2012, at opposite (NE and SW) corners of Fresno, no fewer than 70 officers were involved in this latest raid. Is unemployment that bad in Fresno that they have to resort to rounding up the ruffians and putting them in uniform to harass the people? At least the Nazis in Germany did this with some style: torchlight parades at night and massive spectacles in sports arenas.
It has now been six years since the publication Radley Balko's excellent paper:
OVERKILL: RISE OF PARAMILITARY POLICE RAIDS IN AMERICA (http://www.cato.org/pubs/wtpapers/balko_whitepaper_2006.pdf), prepared and distributed by the Cato Institute as a "White Paper". The Cato Institute helped bring my case, Atwater v. Lago Vista before the United States Supreme Court, where freedom and the constitution and reasonable restraints on police action all lost 5-4. But Ironically, the seventh case I had filed against the City of Lago Vista that ultimately led to my demise as an attorney-at-law in Texas was about an early battering ram incident in that sleepy little suburb of Austin during the first Clinton administration…. a wrong address—no compensation ever paid.
WHY ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES STANDING BY AND ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN? WHY ARE WE NOW ALMOST 50 YEARS INTO ALLOWING THE WAR ON DRUGS TO TRUMP ALL OTHER AMERICAN VALUES OF TRUTH, JUSTICE, FREEDOM, AND TO THE ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLE OF CIVILIZED SOCIETY EMBODIED IN THE FOURTH AMENDMENT THAT:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated…..

Remember, Remember, the Fourth and Fifth of November…..Argo, the Iran Hostage Crisis 33rd Anniversary Today, and Guy Fawkes' Day Symbolism in the Confused Stew of Race, Religion, & Identity in the Western World
Posted on November 4, 2012 by Charles Edward Lincoln III | Leave a comment
NOVEMBER 4: ONE OF THOSE DAYS THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY
Ben Affleck's recent (excellent) movie Argo reminds us that on November 4, 1979, a mob of Iranian students breached the walls and "occupied" the American Embassy in Tehran, which they proceeded to hold for another 444 days until Ronald W. Reagan became took his oath of office as President, largely as a result of Jimmy Carter's shame in not being able to resolve the crisis or liberate the hostages beforehand. The feeling in this country and the world was that Carter would never go to war to defend American Honor, and that Ronald Reagan would, even though the best he ever really did was to invade the tiny island of Grenada to defend against about 200 Cuban medical students…..
Last month I attended a distinctly pro-Iranian lecture by Mark Weber at the IHR (Institute for Historical Realism) in Orange County, but Argo reminded me of how angry and personally offended I felt by the seizure of my country's embassy in Iran. The repeated presentation of the disgraceful history of the US & British subversion of Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh's brief progressive democratic interlude in Iran is a stain on America's honor, and Great Britain's, which is hard to overcome. Especially considering we allowed Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and other distinctly anti-Democratic countries to nationalize and manipulate our oil markets in 1973 with little or no resistance at all. "Argo", along with last year's "The Big Fix" both start out with reminding us of Mossadegh, once Time Magazine's "Man of the Year" (of course, so was Hitler, once, Time's "Man of the Year"). At his Imperial trial in Shah Reza Pahlavi's courts of justice, Mohammed Mossadegh answered the charge of treason as follows:
"Yes, my sin — my greater sin and even my greatest sin is that I nationalized Iran's oil industry and discarded the system of political and economic exploitation by the world's greatest empire. This at the cost to myself, my family; and at the risk of losing my life, my honor and my property. With God's blessing and the will of the people, I fought this savage and dreadful system of international espionage and colonialism …. I am well aware that my fate must serve as an example in the future throughout the Middle East in breaking the chains of slavery and servitude to colonial interests."
BUT WAS THE SHAH OF IRAN REALLY SO BAD?
I confess that, during my youth, at least in part because of my dearly departed Grandfather's support and extreme enthusiasm for the Shah's fabled "White Revolution", I had intensely respected, even admired, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi for his work in westernizing Iran and for brining the U.S. and Iran close together as partners against World Communism. The Shah's policies sought to modernized Iran (making Iran more like Sweden, was his stated goal) liberated women from some of the harshest effects and constraints of Sharia Law, including a ban on the horrific practice of female circumcision.
I went to a fairly unusual high school in Hollywood and there had the chance to learn the views several aristocratic (secular Muslim, Westernized) Iranian "foreign exchange" students who were very strong supporters of their King and Emperor. Finally, I know that my grandfather's positive views of the Shah were by no means unique to him, one of my best friends for most of the past 40 years has been one Helen Sorayya Carr, named after the Shah's beautiful half-German Empress (Shahbanu) or Queen (Malakeh), named by her father Denzel Carr, a Professor of Linguistics at Berkeley, for the most ancient beauty Queen of the West (Helen of Troy) and the most modern beauty Queen of the East (Sorayya of Isfahan). Obviously, and for many good reasons, that Shah or Iran was well-liked in the United States and Europe—he was "one of us" trying to assimilate his country with ours and trying to raise his population from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century…… Mark Weber in his speech had very little to say about the Shah….
But the portrayal of the Shah in "Argo" (or at least its portrayal of the spirit and causes of the Iranian Revolution) is that Reza Pahlavi was a tyrant on the level of, if not even worse than, Iraq's Saddam Hussein. There was no justice in the American invasion of Iraq, or the subsequent execution of Saddam Hussein and many of his regime's top officials. There is certainly no apparent justice in the fact that we supported the Shah but invaded Iraq to overthrown Hussein while all during this period we have done nothing but support the House of Saud and related regimes in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates.
And of course, as Mark Weber correctly pointed out in his presentation at IHR, immediately after the overthrow of the Shah, Iraq and Iran went to war and at THAT time it seemed that the US could and should support Saddam Hussein as the Secular Muslim opponent of "Lunatic" Islamic Fundamentalism under the Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Mostafavi Musavi Khomeini. Saddam Hussein seemed like the great beacon of progress and Westernization in the Middle East.
Isolation and Non-Interference are the Best Policies Available.
It is very confusing to be a 52 year old Anglo-American and look at Iran and Iraq today. I cannot do anything but regret that we ever violated President George Washington's counsel in his Farewell Address that we stay clear of all foreign entanglements. The bottom line is simply this: the United States has done no good at any stage by interference in the Middle East: we certainly did terrible injury by opposing Mossadegh and participating in his overthrow in 1953—there is simply no doubt about that. We did no good by supporting the Shah of Iran afterwards, but frankly he was so rich from Oil, especially after 1973, that whether we supported him or not seemed quite irrelevant.
One recurring theme in US-Middle Eastern Politics is that we (in the US) seem to put Israel First, no matter what it costs to do so. Dinesh D'Souza strongly supported the pro-Israeli position in his movie "Obama 2016" which also made more than passing reference to Iran….and Obama's seeming non-opposition to Iran, despite the continual beat of war drums throughout his Administration. Mark Weber made the excellent case that the blindly pro-Israeli policies of the United States are extremely destructive to the future of our relationship with the Iranian people—UNDER ANY GOVERNMENT, PRESENT OR FUTURE—and of course, Ron Paul concurs 100% in this view, and it is for that reason that the pro-Israeli lobby in the US has all but banned Media coverage of Ron Paul and his successor Gary Johnson…..
We, the American people, should simply keep our noses OUT of other countries' affairs. Freedom is fundamentally the freedom to be left alone, and every sovereign country on earth deserves that freedom from interference by the US, Russia, China, the UK, or France—or an aggressive Iran or "Brazil" of the Future…
Separation of American Interests from foreign interests is consistent with maintaining real diversity in the world, and I am in favor of real diversity. Iranians should develop Iranian culture as Iranians see fit, but they should mostly develop it in Iran, and yet I live in a city sometimes called "Irangeles" and find myself enlisted to assist in mediating constant bickering and civil disputes between Iranians and non-Iranians, but also between Jewish Iranians and Islamic Iranians (especially in Beverly Hills), and even between Iranian Jews and Non-Iranian Jews.
It's enough to make one wonder: where DID all the blonde California beach girls go? How DID West Los Angeles become Irangeles after Iranians overtook and then outnumbered Armenians as the largest Middle Eastern Population in California? "Middle Eastern Population in California?"—oh yes, there's a large Mosque on Shaw Avenue in Fresno not far from Cal-State Fresno—although there's still a monument to William Saroyan, Armenian-American novelist and Playwright, in a park in his native Fresno close to the courthouse……
Again speaking as a 52 year old American WASP, I cannot comprehend the religion of Islam at all. I despise the Muslim oppression and suppression of women—I have known too many Egyptian women, in particular, who have been subjected to the almost unspeakably inhumane savage and brutal practice of female circumcision (which according to WHO reports results in approximately 10% fatalities).
I cannot believe that such practices (and worse yet, the "Muslim grooming" of young English and French girls) are not only being tolerated among immigrant populations in France, Great Britain and the USA but are actively condoned by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the name of "diversity" and "tolerance" and saying that adoption of some form of "Sharia Law" in the UK is all but inevitable. I say: it is avoidable—just say no and vote Front National, BNP/English Resistance…. which is a good point to move over to another point about today's dates:
A Day Which has Lived in Infamy (Justifiably or Otherwise) for 407 years now—Was the Protestant Reformation about anything important other than Nationalism and Autonomy from Rome? (Probably Not….)
Tomorrow, on November 5, we remember that Guy Fawkes was a Catholic who wanted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605, or so they say, because he wanted to oppose the final triumph of Protestantism in England embodied in the recent accession of Catholic Queen-of-Scots Mary Stuart's son, James I and VII, to the throne of a finally united kingdom of what was not yet called "Great Britain".
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot, as described in the history books anyhow, has to be one of the lamest conspiracy theories ever. How exactly, I would love to know, could Catholic, Jesuit (and therefore automatically suspect in early Jacobean London), co-conspirators LEASE strategically located space (i.e. make a written contract) and then use this space solely for the purpose of managing to get 36 Barrels of Gunpowder into a strategic location to blow up the House of Lords at the Palace of Westminster in July, keeping them there until November 5, without ever being discovered? And all this happened during a time of plague and pestilence in London? And all of the participants were already well-known Papists suspected by the crown of treason?
The history of the "Gunpowder Treason and Plot" stinks of being a Stuart-Crown initiated "false flag" episode like the explosion of the Battleship Maine, the Reichstag Fire, and of course, the most recent, 9-11-2001, as being a staged event to organize and inspire loyalty to an at best shaky oligarchy….. James I & VII was considerably smarter than his son, Charles I, and much more likely to have ordered and pulled off a "false flag" attack that would define history for a long time to come…. So in retrospect now, I strongly suspect, as I have to admit I did from "Day 1" of the 9-11 business, that Guy Fawkes was just another Patsy, like Lee Harvey Oswald, made to take the blame for something that was carefully planned just to use him as a symbol to be burned in effigy every year just after Halloween—-"Penny for the Guy?"
V-for-Vendetta Revisionism?
The movie "V-for-Vendetta" that was filmed for the 400th anniversary of the Gunpowder Treason and Plot made the Patsy into a symbol of heroic resistance which appealed deeply to me and to many around the world. The Guy Fawkes' mask has turned the "Guy" into a symbolic of Patriotic resistance completely inconsistent with the historical reality, so that the revised myth of "The Fifth of November" as a great revolutionary people's insurrection against oppression is just as phony as the original "False Flag" Jacobean cover story about a Papist Plot to blow up the House of Lords was…..
But what are the elements that the myths have in common? Both the original theory of the Gunpowder Plot as "Compassing the Death of the King" and causing a major Catholic (counter-reformationist) insurrection in England and the "V-for-Vendetta" version both focus on religious identity and intolerance as key elements of statehood and established power. "Guy" Fawkes was often ridiculed as "Guido" because he used allegedly used this Italianate version of his name in correspondence with Jesuit "co-conspirators", in short, Guy Fawkes became the first "real Guido."
And so it is, of course, just another ironic if little-known fact of history that the first Guido to make a name for himself was not an Italian at all but an Englishman: Guido Fawkes, a.k.a. Guy Fawkes. There is, to be sure, no evidence whatsoever that the Real Original Guido wore Armani Exchange T-shirts and artfully distressed jeans or that he tended to strut and flex steroid- pumped up muscles. (Modern ethnologists from New Jersey & Staten Island report that the call of the Guido is bellowing, and frequently slurred, invariably starting with the sound, "Yo," followed all too often by some creative variation on an expletive beginning with the letter, "F").
In V-for-Vendetta the disfavored religion is Islam and the disfavored ethnics or behavioral subgroups are Muslims and Homosexuals. Ever since the movie came out, it has occurred to me that the Patriotic fervor of the anonymous, amnesiac character who wears the Guy Fawkes mask would (in the modern world) be shared largely if not predominantly by people who supported some version of the conservative "Norsefire" platform on which Chancellor Adam Suttler and his government stood. But the use of Guy Fawkes' image as a paradigm for revolutionary action and advocacy transcends right and left—the mask is as popular among members of the (mostly but not exclusively left-wing) "occupy" movement as well as the "We the People" anti-IRS tax protestors.
I suspect that Natalie Portman and the other luminaries who participated in the making of "V" would tell you that their movie is a paradigm in favor of multiculturalism and diversity—where everyone can be united "behind the mask" no matter what their ethnic or religious affiliation and/or origin.
But "Guy Fawkes' Day" used to be called "Pope's Day" as well as "Gunpowder Day" and it was a celebration of anti-Catholicism and Protestant Triumph. I was born into a Southern Protestant family in which Catholicism was strongly frowned upon on one side and fairly strongly favored on the other, albeit under the rubric of "Anglo-Catholicism" and adherence to the notion of Jacobite Stuart monarchism and "Charles the Martyr" day on January 31. "Charles the Martyr Day" commemorates the admittedly unjust and more than slightly appalling execution of King Charles I and the equally unjust and more than slightly appalling "Commonwealth" of Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell and his son created little more than a beetle-browed Puritan dictatorship with no long-lasting heritage or accomplishments.
Cromwell's "Commonwealth" Dictatorship was replaced after a mere 11 year experiment by the Stuart Restoration of Charles II which shaped and formed "all the best" of England basically as it was to be until 1914. The death of Charles II with tons of illegitimate children but not one single legitimate heir led to a Guy Fawkes'-like "Hiccup" in the formation of modern England, namely the reign of Charles' brother James who was overthrown for trying to restore, for the last time in England, Roman Catholicism as the official religion.
Modern readers are reasonably suspicious of religion. Even those of us (like me) who may be going to Church on Sunday have only limited confidence in any creed. Philosophy and Science, including Anthropology and Evolutionary Biology, have taken a huge toll on what we can unquestioningly "believe" or not. I love my Church—the Episcopal Church, part of the Anglican Tradition, but I do not believe in its embrace of multiculturalism AT ALL. Rather, I love the fact that in the past, and especially in my past—my personal and family history—that Church embodies all that is AGAINST multiculturalism and globalism in favor of "Anglicanism." I would define "Anglicanism" as the English people's worship of themselves, primarily, as being created in the image of God—how's that for an anthropologically reasonable, post-Vatican II liturgically blasphemous explanation of my Church and my Faith?
The modern ethnocentric Anglican has to address the political correctness of multiculturalism. I do so as follows: we must choose and define our own identities. Not merely do we have the INALIENABLE right to do so, we MUST do so. We must define our own identities and try to keep and develop them for our children for the sake of preserving real diversity in the world, for the purpose of FOSTERING more "micro-diversity" and hence "micro-evolution" in the world. We must not shrink from our obligations.
England should NOT become a Muslim country, nor should Sweden or Norway or Denmark or the Netherlands or France or Greece. I that sense, I stand by Chancellor Adam Sutler and "Norsefire." However, it is only by a "Guy Fawkes" like uprising" led by the BNP or "English Resistence" or "UKIP" or some group like that who can make it happen.
About the United States—what is this country and what should it be? Los Angeles and New York (and up to a certain point, Chicago) are cities culturally dominated not by Muslims but by Jews, even if demographically Jews remain a minority. Henry Waxman represents me in Congress (actually, he doesn't represent anything about me, but I guess it's more appropriate to say "I live in his Congressional District"). I did not vote for him, but I have no confidence in Bill Bloomfield for whom I did vote. (New York Mayor Republican Mayor Bloomberg endorsed Obama—I find this appalling, although I did not vote for Romney, I voted for Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Candidate (by mail, I sent my ballot in last Tuesday). I might have written in one of several other candidates but the California Legislature has for the time-being at least all but outlawed write-in candidates and I have voted Libertarian more than any other party ever since I decided in 1992 never to vote Republican again after George H.W. Bush's treason on both the tax question and the invasion of Iraq—-which some propose that we now follow by the Invasion of Iran…)
Of course, adding to the confusion about Iran, as noted, Ronald W. Reagan owed his election in no small part to President Jimmy Carter's complete ineptitude in defending American honor around the world, especially in Iran. And yet, 5 years into the Reagan Presidency, a good-looking Colonel named Oliver North was on all the Radio and Television stations defending his PURCHASE (with White-House approved fund) of ARMS FROM Iran for sale AGAINST U.S. Law to the Contras in Nicaragua. Huh? I almost decided never to vote Republican again after that. Reagan knew that the Revolutionary Islamic Republic of Iran was the chief enemy of the United States after the Communist Soviet Union and China, and he was clearly authorizing this Colonel North to give "Aid and Comfort" to the Iranians by doing business with them, paying them for guns to a cause which Reagan personally supported, although the Congress of the United States had barred official support of it, namely the Contras (Anti-Sandinistas) of Nicaragua. And yet I made the mistake, as did many Americans, of voting for George H.W. Bush in 1988 and that led to the first U.S. invasion of Iraq (for the heinous crime of overthrowing the Kuwaiti monarchy??????) and my final defection from the Republican Party. THERE WAS NO EXCUSE FOR OUR INVASION OF IRAQ in 1991 or in 2003, and THERE IS NO POSSIBLE EXCUSE FOR US TO INVADE IRAN NOW.
I for one unequivocally oppose all American adventurism and imperialism abroad. I agree with Pat Buchanan that we are "A Republic, not an Empire", and I hope that over the next few years we can restore the American Republic and work towards a restoration of American Identity—"Los Angeles", not "Irangeles"—with no disrespect to the rights of the people of Iran to maintain their own culture and civilization as they see fit, and as they have done without Anglo-American assistance for most of the past 4,000 years since Susa, the Sassanians, and Persepolis….

California Coalition for Constitutional Rights: Seeking all California-Licensed 420 Growers or Medical Cannabis Dispensers threatened for violations of FEDERAL Law by State Officials
I have previously stated that I support the rights of the Central Valley growers who have been attacked and put out of business under color of law by California State Officers claiming to be acting under Federal Law or even as Deputized by Federal Agencies. The goal is to collect as many stories and rights together and file suit under the principles asserted last year in Bond v. United States: that private individuals have standing to sue for violations of States' Rights under the 10th Amendment. Bond v US 131 Sct 2355 180 LEd2d 269 SCOTUS JUNE 2011. I would like to see the holdings of Bond, extended to the 9th Amendment as well. No right should exist, in fact, without a remedy to enforce that right. Is there a Tenth Amendment remedy to restrict or overturn the Commerce Clause restrictions on liberty imposed and upheld in Gonzales v. Raich, 06-06-2005 Gonzales v Raich 545 US 1 125 SCt 2195 162 LEd2 1 06-06-2005? The time has come to abolish illegitimate Federal exercise of power by putting the Interstate Commerce Clause back in the box where it came from (namely Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 of the Constitution).

My father died after morning prayer - son of Nigerian author Adebayo Faleti reveals
Veteran actor, playwright and journalist, Adebayo Faleti, is dead. He died at the age of 86 in his Ibadan home.
One of the late actor's son, revealed his dad died while he was helping him take his bath after the early morning devotion with his family members.
The son continued saying his father, after the prayers told them that he had prayed to God to send someone else to continue his mission as he was tired and longing for home. He also said he drank pap, before his death.
"After the morning devotion, I helped him to the bathroom as I normally did. He said he wanted God to send someone else to come and complete his work because he had done all he could do. He also said that he wanted to go home. Suddenly, I noticed that he was not breathing again. We took him to the University College Hospital, Ibadan where he was confirmed dead. We shall miss him greatly."
Also, the first son Ayoola, said he spoke with his father three days ago and that he was on his way home when he was told that his father had passed on.
"In his usual practice, he called me three days ago and we discussed like father and son. After I received a call this morning from my brother concerning the state of his health, I hit the road to come home and see him but I did not meet him alive. He died before I could reach home. He took care of all his children and gave us good education. We shall all miss him," said Ayoola.

I know man. Thanks! But at least you have a sh*t load of KISS swag to literally sleep on tonight. That should soften the blow somewhat!!
audio recognition is not very accurate.
not exactly what I said but the audio recognition was close enough. Love you long time hot and strong.
It's 6am right now. I need some Winery Dogs to get my day started. And yes, tawkin' bout KISS blanky.
The other thing about watching the videos, I needed visual confirmation that it was actually Richie singing. Haha. Rockin' Desire right now. I love the groove between Mike and Billy on this one as the song chugs along.
I definitely heard the similarities to Coverdale, Whitesnake and Deep Purple. This is not a slam, but what I was hearing in my head was the need for some female backup singers. I was getting a Black Crowe's vibe from these guys too.
The Black Crowe's are definitely an influence. Good ear dude.
Oh, if and when this comes out on vinyl, I will snap it up in a heartbeat. They so better release this on vinyl, or I just may have to blow up planet Earth.
and I thought I was the old one here.
Vinyl is the new MP3s. Only bigger and can hold in your hand.
I looked around to see if there was an LP version...so far I've seen no indication there's one.
It might be tough for them to come out of the gate with this band, and do more than a CD. Not sure the budget would cover multiple platforms...I hope so.
It might get released as an LP out of the US. That does happen quite often....so it's worth continuing to look once a little more time has passed and it's released in other markets.
I'm not saying I did any of these things... I do know a person like that.
Loud & Proud Records will make an official announcement if all goes well.
Nice. Will definitely pick up two copies for myself. So I would take it that the album has to sell a certain number before it's considered for Vinyl status? 100K? 500K? One Million? One million is kind of hard for a new band to hit, especially in this day and age.
I miss vinyl.... something about sitting there and reading the credits while that big disc is spinning on the turntable ..ahh, memories of my youth!
TWD album is incredible.... LOVE the ballads... and Richie has some unique phrasing , a punchiness, on Criminal (Japanese bonus track) that I'm crazy about!
Criminal is frickin' sick. Love it. You wouldn't happen to have any information on US Tour Dates would you?
BB Kings in NYC for Aug 3rd has already been announced.
More dates in October... but I have no info on those yet.
I sure hope that Agoura Hills isn't the closest place they come to. I would actually make the trip for that show if it was indeed the closest they come around here. Is anyone else on the bill for the Asian Tour? I can't remember if Richie said anything about this on TMS.
So I would take it that the album has to sell a certain number before it's considered for Vinyl status? 100K? 500K? One Million? One million is kind of hard for a new band to hit, especially in this day and age.
I wonder what the criteria is for vinyl release?
It's something that I've actually been wondering about since Vinyl started coming back within the last 5-6 years. But with other artist, the ones that got Vinyl releases right out of the gate were bands and singers that already had a huge following of some kind, with the exception of Chickenfoot. But that band had 4 superstars with name recognition, so they were able to leverage a vinyl release themselves.. Winery Dogs, as awesome as they are, individually, they are not household names beyond the fanboys that would be buying their stuff.
I personally think in the US it's a bit of a 50/50 toss up in terms of if vinyl will be produced (or not) probably based on the label and budget. Out of the US I think it really depends on the region and what traditionally sells best. CD is always a slam dunk I don't even know if they make cassettes anymore and vinyl still has an appeal and is for sure growing in popularity again.
Vinyl is growing in popularity, but in the overall context, it's a very small percentage. I would think its expensive to keep an outdated technology going.
As I remember hearing it, there are only 2 Plants in the states that still produce vinyls. No idea what it is elsewhere around the world.

Your arsenal of home remedies is about to get a lot spicier with these best healing herbs. Though herbs have been used for hundreds of years to heal, scientists are finally starting to substantiate these plants' abilities to alleviate arthritis pain, reduce high blood sugar and cholesterol, and help with many other conditions. They're even discovering amazing new powers in the best healing herbs, such as the ability to kill cancer cells and help problem drinkers curb their alcohol intake.
"Herbs and other natural remedies can be as effective as traditional treatments, often without the same negative side effects," says Roberta Lee, MD, medical director of the Continuum Center for Health and Healing at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City.
Here are 10 superhealers you'll want to add to the all-natural section of your medicine cabinet—and even to your favorite recipes. Folding one or two of them into your cooking every day can yield big benefits.
Maximize the benefits: Lee suggests up to four capsules a day of Supercritical Omega 7, a sea buckthorn supplement by New Chapter. It's available at health food stores.
3. Kudzu: Curb problem drinking A group of moderately heavy drinkers in their 20s voluntarily cut their beer consumption in half after taking capsules containing the Chinese herb (also called Pueraria lobata) for a week, according to a study published in Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research. Researchers say the kudzu more quickly allows alcohol to get to the part of the brain that tells you that you've had enough.
