Vietnam's next musical idol, German Viet Kieu Trong Hieu
American Idol may already be walking the green mile, but the popular TV format appears to be stronger than ever here in Vietnam, where the show continues to reward artists who break the local pop industry's cookie mold. While its US counterpart has long since been trapped in a decade-old zeitgeist, part of Vietnam Idol's continuing appeal here is its sense of the Western aesthetic – in showcasing Vietnamese talent on an essentially foreign platform, the program implies an international standard of validation for popular Vietnamese entertainment.
It's perhaps about time, then, that a Western contestant was at last crowned Vietnam Idol at the conclusion of the last season – German Viet Kieu Trong Hieu, whose English-language songs and unambiguous Michael Jackson/ Justin Timberlake-styled performances overwhelmingly captured the popular vote. Hieu's victory is probably the greatest indicator yet of the thirst of Vietnamese audiences to see their own music industry as having truly come of age: their chosen idol is fresh-faced, charismatic, fluent in English and almost unbearably good- looking. He is a transformation of the local hero, a familiar face as seen through a prism held up to an American spotlight.
Suddenly the most successful celebrity export ever to come out of the small Bavarian spa town of Bad Kissingen, Trong Hieu's newfound fame has come as an outright surprise for the young singer, whose laid-back career in Germany has now spilled over into superstar status in his parents' native land. Hieu was in the country to visit family members when he received a tip-off from a friend that Idol auditions were entering their final day, and figured that making a play for a spot on local TV would be an amusing way to spend his holiday here. At the audition, Hieu immediately drew attention for his highly accomplished performances, and the admiration of judges and audiences alike never seemed to drop off. Now at the center of more media attention than he's ever had in his life, Hieu is already set to embark on his second national tour – and is now talking about releasing his first single here as a vehicle for his signature dance moves and vocal style.
Speaking with Trong Hieu, it's clear that the fresh star is still overwhelmed by what's happened to him, although this is far from his first experience on stage. Born to immigrant parents whose life in their newly-adopted country was far from idyllic, Hieu showed a proclivity toward the entertainment industry from his earliest days.
"I used to dance with a friend at home," he recalls. "We would make concerts for our parents. We invited them with our uncles and aunts in our bedroom, and we had a sheet there and made a show with dancing and singing. Then my parents saw the potential, and so when we moved to a bigger city they took me to a dance school. Two or three years later, I started singing in a children's choir. That was the beginning."
Hieu's European childhood was largely sheltered from the struggles his parents faced in an unfamiliar land. "They didn't speak the language, they didn't know anything," he sighs. "They came with nothing to Germany, and they started from zero, like from hero to zero. I think for them it was very, very hard. But they always tried to give us love, they always showed us that they were here for us. As a child, I wasn't that aware of all those negative things, because I could do whatever I wanted – sure, there were things that I couldn't buy, like toys that I saw other children have, and I couldn't get. Still, my parents gave me everything they could afford; I could go to school, I could go dancing, I could go singing. That's why I think it wasn't a difficult time for me. I could still connect with my Mom, though she was crying at night; she was sad because of the hard times she had in Germany. So I could see that."
The family maintained strong cultural ties with Vietnam. "I've got a big connection to Vietnam and I've always had Vietnam in my heart," Hieu hastens to point out. "My parents are from Vietnam, and I look Vietnamese, and we always spoke Vietnamese, we ate Vietnamese food in Germany. So absolutely there was a big connection."
Even as a performer from an immigrant family, Hieu's career in Europe was already gathering speed before being unexpectedly superseded by the Idol win. "In Germany, I was doing my own songs – I wrote my own, and I've recorded music videos," he says. "I was doing flash mobs with children in my city, and we were recording those in the videos. There were a lot of people who liked it. I was really satisfied and happy about that. I could dance with children, I could sing my own songs. I could really do what I love."
Trong Hieu is now set to become a semi-permanent feature of the Vietnamese music scene – and with what is perhaps a German sense of discipline, he's dedicated to pushing beyond his Vietnam Idol envelope. Hieu is becoming a newly-won fan of Vietnamese music (he lists Toc Tien, Ho Ngoc Ha, Isaac, and Thanh Bui as being among his favorites) and eventually wants to write his own songs in Vietnamese as soon as his experience with the language and local tastes matures. While the inclinations of Vietnamese audiences vary distinctly from what's popular in Europe, Hieu is prepared to take a creative leap to achieve a lasting resonance on the local scene.
"I think I want to do a compromise, like in terms of what the people like, and what my personality is and what I want to do," he says purposefully. "If I adapt too much, I would become different, but I still have to make music that people want to hear. So I want to try a mix of the tastes of the Vietnamese people and my taste. My feeling, what I think is good, and what I think people will be happy to receive."

Our methods are different a lot from conventional means which are geared towards treatment of large colonies and ant mounds. This makes those typical mechanisms costly, laborious, and time-consuming especially where there is a big infestation. Note that excessive application of insecticides adversely affects the environment as it interferes with water bodies. Our methods ensure that the queen ant is destroyed so that the colony dies as well. We ensure that all nests are identified and destroyed to discourage further invasion by migrating ants. In addition, we understand that underground colonies can escape treatment, and so we employ thorough eradication by digging deep down the ground. Our broadcast application approach is very efficient and economical for homeowners with bigger yards. We do this by using an ant bait. When a fire ant finds this bait, it will take it back to the colony and feed them. They will not die immediately, but over the course of time, the bait poisons the colony and kills all the ants.
It is not easy to eliminate pests completely by a single method. Our ant exterminators' objective is to use schemes that suit clients' budgets, save the environment, and covers all infested areas. We apply integrated pest management plan that integrates biological and selective application of chemicals.
This is a strategy that takes advantage of natural foes of fire ants. A good example is the decapitating flies which when released into the environment, become parasitic to the ants hence destroying them. Other useful agents are the parasitic nematodes. A lot of research is going on regarding biological controls and we are following to stay updated.
This is one eco-friendly method we advocate for. Basically, we pour 3 gallons of hot water into a mound to kill colonies. However, we only do this in places without plants because we wouldn't want to destroy our clients' beautiful garden. Because we are experienced, we know how to handle hot water to avoid any accidents. Forget about traditional methods like use of ammonia, soda ash, molasses, or chlorine because they can destroy your farm's ecosystem. Contact us today to help you out with eco-friendly approaches.
We have a wide range of products which are natural and affordable, for instance spinosad and d-lionene. The latter is a citrus oil extract while the former is a by-product of microbial activities of the soil. When you trust our services, you will be sure that you are not destroying the environment but conserving it instead.
The only insecticides we apply are those that have been certified by environmental bodies and we apply them according to the manufacturer's instructions. As mentioned, we are elite ant exterminators and therefore understand the meaning of following instructions when using chemicals. All our employees can differentiate between an illegal and an approved product because they have undergone through technical training. We thus ensure that every product is ideal for the application at hand especially when dealing with vegetable garden infestations. If your electric utility boxes are invaded by ants, don't worry because our professionals know how to handle that effectively.
Most of our products are in powder form and some are liquids and granules. We also use baits in individual mounds or in broadcast area. Different treatments have different outcomes. Some chemicals interfere with the nervous systems of these annoying insects and they can only be handled by professionals like us. The organic treatments we use cause genocide in matters of minutes. Some chemicals will take long like 24 hours and leave long-lasting effects on the infested area. Whenever we use hot water, we don't expect any continuous effect but it saves the environment. The baits affect the nervous system if eaten by the insects. Call us at (925) 948-8829 for all your fire ant control in Pleasanton.

While the bubble of South Korea's property market has burst, it is not as severe a collapse as Japan's. South Korean banks do not offer mortgage financing and routinely undervalue the land they hold as collateral, so they are not threatened. South Korean landlords require larger deposits as property values and interest rates drop, to make up for their loss of interest income. As the deposits approach the down payment for a new home, the market will rise again.

Bose QuietComfort 35 is a successor of QuietComfort 25 – noise-canceling headphones. At this point, you probably wonder how much QC 35 differs from the previous model. Is it worth to pay 50 dollars more for them? Let's find out by analyzing the build quality, sound, connectivity, battery, and how good the noise canceling really is.
The build quality of both models is very similar. They are made of plastic, to keep their weight low. They don't put a lot of pressure on your head and the leather on the ear cups feels very premium and plush.
There are some changes when it comes to the headband. Synthetic leather in QC 15 has been replaced by a nice suede called Alcantara, often found in luxury sports cars.
While performing my stress test on the headband, it retains its shape. There are no strange noises, like squeaking and creaking, proving that we deal with high-quality materials.
I appreciate the low profile and slimness of both models. It makes them look good whether you are on a walk or behind your desk.
The earcups do a 90 degrees swivel, making them practically horizontal and easier to store in the hard shell case.
Although both models are very similar, there is one big difference – QC 35 are Bluetooth headphones. For this feature, you will have to pay 50 dollars more. The downside of this is that there's now a small rechargeable battery in them making these headphones a bit heavier.
One of the biggest difference in both headphones is the location of controls. QC 25 are wired headphones, so you will find controls, like volume, play/pause, and microphone built into a cord. In QC 35, Bose moved the controls from the inline wire to the back of the right ear cup. Additionally, there is a light that indicates Bluetooth connectivity, and the micro-USB charging port.
The wire is only attachable to the left ear cup. This can be a minor issue since competitors' headsets can connect to either side.
In the package, with the QC 35 headphones, you will also receive a 3.5-millimeter cord for a physical connection, basically turning QC 35 into QC 25. There is no locking mechanism, which is good because your headphones won't fall off if you pull the cord too hard.
The very name of these headphones suggests that they are both quiet and comfortable. As I mentioned earlier they are very light with the soft cushions and suede headband. They are very flexible and this is what makes them so comfortable.
I have no doubt that most people won't feel any fatigue on their crown or discomfort using these headphones, even after long gaming sessions.
QC 25 weights 196 grams and QC 35 weights 235 grams.
The sound quality of both models is pretty much exactly the same. It's a good decent sound, similar in quality to other headphones in this price range. Where these headphones really shine, is their noise-canceling feature.
The QuietComfort series is famous for is its noise canceling feature. It is probably the best in the market. If you've heard the Bose noise-canceling headphones before, you know what I am talking about.
I have never had the experience of such quality, when it comes to noise reduction, with any other headphones. Bose definitely rules in this segment.
Noise-canceling won't help with noises, such as crying baby, etc. They will help to reduce repetitive outside sounds, like air conditioners or airplanes.
I think that they can reduce up to 80% of outside sounds. If you want to have this feature turned on, just flip the switch and this will reduce the outside noise instantly.
I've tested them in public, around many people talking and most of the environment was muted. It's simply amazing how great is the Bose algorithm when it comes to noise-canceling.
The bass in both models is decent, but definitely not the best on the market. If you like to hear the lowest notes in the dubstep music, you should choose a different model.
If you decide to buy QuietComfort, you can have a bit punchier bass by adding an amplifier.
There is great detail in mids, they are very clear and crisp.
The treble is detailed but not overpowering. If you flip the noise-canceling switch you will notice a bit of a difference in sound quality.
In general, all levels of audio are well balanced, with clear vocals, without any of audio fields dominating.
The soundstage is good. You can hear each instrument coming from different parts of the room.
If you listen to a lot of hip-hop and rap, try these at a shop, there might just enough bass for you.
Bluetooth is the biggest selling point over QC 25, which is just a wired pair of headphones. If you don't want a wire dangling around, you have no choice but to buy the newer model.
Pairing QC 35 with a smartphone or a laptop works flawlessly. Just turn on the headphones and choose the Bose headphones from the list.
When you turn them on, a voice tells you what is the percentage of the current battery life. Because QC 35 is wireless, Bose decided to move controls, such as volume control and play/pause to the right ear cup.
Despite being wired headphones, QC 25 still uses a battery, not to power the speakers, but for its noise-cancellation feature. The fully charged battery last for about 35 hours.
The QC 35 battery has to power both noise-canceling and drivers. For that reason, it takes less time to fully deplete the battery. Bose says it's about 20 hours. It's still a lot of juice and it's not very probable that you will listen to music all that time without an electrical socket in the vicinity.
If you decide to use a 3.5-millimeter wire, instead of Bluetooth, that time will double.
The time needed to fully charge the battery is about 2.5 hours. Every time you turn on your QC 35 headphones the speaker will mention the percentage of the battery left.
PROS: Great noise cancelling / Volume controls and pause buttons on cord work beautifully / Comfortable / Good battery life / Alcantara material / Light / Compact / compatibile with iPhones / Compact case. PROS: Great noise cancelling / Comfortable / wireless / Great battery life / Alcantara material / Light / Compact / Minimal noise bleed.
CONS: Wired only / Bass could be better / Requires an AAA battery. CONS: Bass could be better.

Indian girl from Oaxaca grinding Ipomoea seeds on a metate.
PRESENT USE of the sacred Mexican morning glory seeds differs little from ancient practices. The seeds are used for divination, prophecy, and diagnosis and treatment of illness by many tribes, especially the Chatinos, Chinantecs, Mazatecs, and Zapotecs. In almost all Oaxacan villages, the seeds serve the Indians "as an ever present help in time of trouble."
The modern ceremony, featuring the use of morning glory seeds to treat an illness, is a curious blending of old Indian beliefs and Christianity. The native who is to be treated collects the seeds himself. About a thimbleful of the seeds--often the magic number is 13-- is measured out. The seeds are ground by a virgin, usually a child, in a special ritual accompanied by complex prayer. Water is added, the resulting beverage is strained, and the patient drinks it at night in silence. After more prayers, he lies down with someone by his side who listens to what he says while intoxicated. This determines the cause of his troubles.
Indian patient drinking potion prepared from Ipomoea seeds.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES of the narcotic morning glories began in 1955 when a psychiatrist published notes on self-experimentation with Rivea seeds, showing that they brought on an intoxication accompanied by hallucinations. This announcement prompted chemists to examine the plant, but no active principle could be found until the 1960's. At that time the chemist who discovered LSD analyzed the plant and found several alkaloids closely related to that potently hallucinogenic synthetic compound.
His astonishing discovery met with widespread disbelief, partly because these Iysergic-acid derivatives had hitherto been known in nature only in the primitive fungus ergot (Claviceps purpurea), a parasite on the grains of rye in Europe, when ergot was accidentally ground up in a mill with rye flour and eaten in bread made from the flour, it poisoned whole towns, causing a terrible intoxication and leading frequently to widespread insanity and death. In the Middle Ages, before causes were understood and preventative measures taken, these mysterious mass attacks were called St. Anthony's Fire and were attributed to God's wrath.
Half a dozen of these ergoline alkaloids have been found in seeds of Rivea corymbosa and Ipomoea violacea. The main hallucinogenic constituents of both seeds are ergine (d-lysergic acid diethylamide) and isoergine, but other related beses occur in minor amounts - chiefly chanoclavine, elymoclavine, and lysergol. The total alkaloid content of Ipomoea violacea is five times that of Rivea corymbosa, which explains why the natives use fewer of the Ipomoea seeds in preparing for their rituals. While these alkaloids are not uncommon in numerous morning glories around the world, apparently only in Mexico have the plants been utilized as narcotics.

showing their chemical relationship to LSD.
MANY HORTICULTURAL VARIETIES of Ipomoea violacea, including the popular ornaments Heavenly Blue, Pearly Gates, Flying Saucers, Blue Stars, and Wedding Bells, as well as other varieties of Ipomoea, contain hallucinogenic constituents. Other genera, notably Argyreia and Stictocardia, also contain these substances. The Hawaiian wood rose (A. nervosa), for example, has been found to be highly intoxicating. Seeds of I. carnea, which are known to possess biodynamic constituents, are said to be used as hallucinogens in Ecuadorian folk medicine. In fact, hallucinogenic compounds are so prevalent in this family, both geographically and botanically, that it is difficult to explain why the morning glories have not been more widely employed as narcotics by primitive societies. Or have they?
HOJAS DE LA PASTORA (Salvia divinorum), of Mexico, Is the only one of 700 species of Salvia known to be used as an hallucinogen. Mazatec Indians of Oaxaca employ the leaves as a divinotory narcotic, hence divinorum ("of the diviners"). The Mazatecs call the plant hojas de la Pastora in Spanish and shka-Pastora in their native tongue, both names meaning "leaves of the Shepherdess." The leaves are chewed fresh, or the plonts are ground on a metote, then diluted with water and filtered for drinking.
The plant is not known in the wild and rarely, if ever, develops from seed. The Mazatecs plant this mint vegetatively in remote mountain ravines, and most families use it as a drug when the sacred mushrooms (p. 58) or morning glory seeds (p. 128) are scarce. It is commonly believed to be the hallucinogenic pipilzintzintli of the ancient Aztecs.
Ingesting leaves of the plant has been found experimentally to induce an intoxication similar to that of the sacred mushrooms but less striking and of shorter duration. It is characterized by three-dimensional colored designs in kaleidoscopic motion. Chemical studies have as yet failed to isolate any psychoactive component.
(note: the flower has white end, not purple.)
COLEUS (Coleus pumas and C. blumei) is cultivated by the Mazatecs of Oaxaca, Mexico, who reputedly employ the leaves in the some way as they use the leaves of Salvia divinorum ( see p. 137) . Indeed, the Indians recognize the family relationship between these two genera of mints, both of the family Labiatae. They refer to S. divinorum as la hembra ("the female") and to C. pumilus as el macho ("the male"). There are two forms of C. blumei, which they call el niño ("the child") and el ahijado ("the godson").
These two species are native to Asia, where they are valued in folk medicine but apparently have not been used as hallucinogens. No hallucinogenic principle hes yet been discovered in the 150 known Coleus species.
BORRACHERA (lochroma fuchsioides) is one of about two dozen species of lochroma, all native to the highlands of South America. There are suspicions and unconfirmed reports that several species of lochromo are locally taken in hallucinatory drinks, either alone or mixed with other narcotic plants, by Indians in the Sibundoy Valley of southern Colombia. Although no chemical studies have been made of lochroma, it belongs to the nightshade family, Solanaceae, well recognized for its toxic and hallucinogenic principles.
ARBOL DE LOS BRUJOS ("sorcerers' tree") or latué (Latua pubiflora) is used by the Mapuche Indian medicine men of Valdivia, Chile, to cause delirium, hallucinations, and occasionally permanent insanity. There is no cult or ritual surrounding its use, but the tree is widely feared and respected. Dosages are a closely guarded secret, and it is widely believed that a madness of any desired duration may be induced by a medicine man who knows how to measure the doses properly. The natives employ the fresh fruits.
The alkaloids hyoscyamine and scopolamine have been isolated from the fruit and are responsible for its potent effects. The only species of Latua known, the tree is confined to coastal mountains of central Chile. It belongs to the nightshade family, Solanaceae.
CHIRIC-CASPI and CHIRIC SANANGO (Brunfelsia) are the most common of the native names for several species of shrubs that appear to have been important hallucinogens among some South American Indian tribes. The use of the name borrachero, which means " intoxicator," indicates that the natives of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru recognize the shrub's narcotic properties, and the special care taken in its cultivation seems to suggest a former religious or magic place in tribal life. Recently, real evidence has pointed to the use of several species of Brunfelsia either as the source of an hallucinogenic drink, as among the Kachinaua of Brazil, or as an additive to other hallucinogenic drinks, as among the Jívaro and Kofán Indians of Ecuador.

Gramsci & Frankfurt School, Quick & Dirty: Mutating Our Entire Society's Perception of Reality
June 18, 2013, 8:40 pm by as Dawn sees it 12 Comments
Whittaker Chambers in 1948
The greater Communist movement's infiltration into public policy, public office, and government is nothing new. In fact it is a much needed factor in the successful transformation of an entire society. As Whitaker Chambers (Ex-Soviet Spy turned Soviet defector) had noted:
That power to influence policy has always been the ultimate purpose of the Communist Party's infiltration. It was much more dangerous, and, as events have proved, much more difficult to detect, than espionage, which beside it is trivial, though the two go hand in hand. (Stalin's Secret Agents)
Another interesting note in regards to the real intentions of those who still call themselves progressives, coming from another soviet spy by the name of Elizabeth Berkely.
Stand your ground, put on an air of injured innocence; your are not a Communist, just a 'progressive' whose record proves you have always fought for the rights of labor. (The Naked Communist p. 149)
The undeniable change we see taking place in our country today should be viewed through a much different lens than past generations. Some may blame it on a generational gap. You may even think with age comes wisdom and the younger generation will wise up someday, As the saying goes "If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain". If only it were that simple. The disconnect we see is not by accident. The truth is, it is intentional.
It is not a secret and any dictator worth his salt knows the key to transforming a society is to gain control of the youth. Doing so gives the much needed advantage to change a society. Generation after generation then enter key positions in public office where they can effectively continue changing society based on what they have learned in college. Some may go on to be professors at universities (one recognizable "professor" would be Bill Ayers) where the cycle repeats itself.
Clever, "causes" such as social justice, socioeconomic equality, and women's rights, give the illusion of fighting for worthy causes. The useful idiots that Lenin once spoke of are more than willing to fight for these oh so noble causes. Lets face it, when you are young you want to "change the world;" only problem is they truly have no idea what they are changing it to. Its not purely coincidental that people such as Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dorn, Frances Fox Piven, Mark Rudd, and the recently released Kathy Boudin all work in the field of education. These are radicals through and through and have every intention of continuing their glorious "revolution" by using your children. Lenin once said, "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."
So how does one go about changing a society? One way is to foment a violent revolution; another is a slow "progressive" transformation. The later of the two is what has been in play for decades now.
Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937)
A Marxist philosopher by the name of Antonio Gramsci realized no thinking person would just roll over and submit to a system that is going to enslave him. Rather, he believed one could, through years, if not decades, slowly subvert a culture in which the public could be influenced into a Marxist ideology. In his deluded idea of someday achieving an egalitarian utopia he wanted the victims to actually enjoy being a party to a collective and a repressive regime.
Gramsci believed that if Communism achieved "mastery of human consciousness," then labor camps and mass murder would be unnecessary. How does an ideology gain such mastery over patterns of thought inculcated by cultures for hundreds of years? Mastery over the consciousness of the great mass of people would be attained, Gramsci contended, if Communists or their sympathizers gained control of the organs of culture — churches, education, newspapers, magazines, the electronic media, serious literature, music, the visual arts, and so on. By winning "cultural hegemony," to use Gramsci's own term, Communism would control the deepest wellsprings of human thought and imagination. One need not even control all of the information itself if one can gain control over the minds that assimilate that information. Under such conditions, serious opposition disappears since men are no longer capable of grasping the arguments of Marxism's opponents. Men will indeed "love their servitude," and will not even realize that it is servitude.
Gramsci's Grand Plan
One cannot deny patience and time are key components needed to change a once moral society into one that is unrecognizable as American. To understand how this has happened one must understand the role of the Frankfort School.
Born in 1923, a group of determined Germans devised a plan to subvert Western culture and rot it from within.
When Hitler came to power, the Institute was closed and its members, by various routes, fled to the United States and migrated to major US universities—Columbia, Princeton, Brandeis, and California at Berkeley.
Here are some of their stated goals a bit about how they were to be achieved.
1. The creation of racism offences.
2. Continual change to create confusion
3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children
4. The undermining of schools' and teachers' authority
5. Huge immigration to destroy identity.
6. The promotion of excessive drinking
7. Emptying of churches
8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime
9. Dependency on the state or state benefits
10. Control and dumbing down of media
11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family
One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud's idea of 'pansexualism' – the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women. To further their aims they would:
• attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children.
• abolish differences in the education of boys and girls
• abolish all forms of male dominance – hence the presence of women in the armed forces
• declare women to be an 'oppressed class' and men as 'oppressors'
Munzenberg summed up the Frankfurt School's long-term operation thus: 'We will make the West so corrupt that it stinks.'
The School believed there were two types of revolution: (a) political and (b) cultural. Cultural revolution demolishes from within. 'Modern forms of subjection are marked by mildness.' They saw it as a long-term project and kept their sights clearly focused on the family, education, media, sex and popular culture.
CatholicInsight.com, cited via http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2216734/posts
The stated goals speak volumes as to how far they have come. All one really needs to do is take a look at the culture we are living in. Example after example can be found of how society has become corrupted.
Any Communist knows that a moral, virtuous society produces obstacles that must be overcome. Therefore, God, family, and love of Country have to be eliminated. Lets face it, if you have an allegiance to God and not government, that is going to create a problem for any committed Communist regime.
We have the imperative task today of learning from history and not just for ourselves but for our children. We will one day look back on what we see taking place today and wonder why we did not do more. This has so often been the case throughout so many periods in history. We have, without a doubt, been fed small doses of socialism for years. Socialism is just a vehicle to communism, which in turn will ultimately lead to a totalitarian system.
There has never been a time in history where we have the technology to literally track every person on earth. Learn from history, listen to those who have studied history and have tried to wake people up for years. Future generations will want to know the truth.

Darko says
The Germans of Frankfurt School that wanted to subvert the western culture were not Germans, but German Jews…Big difference!
Arlen Williams says
Yes, pretty much all of Hebrew lineage though not of Old Testament teaching, they were. And the James Gang may have all been wasps in background. And the Black Panthers were pretty much all black. And the Mafia were mostly Italians. And the PIRA, Irish. And Jihadis are mostly Arabs. And….

Watch as Arlen retreats into relativism because he's terrified of being labeled an "anti-Semite."
Watch as he lies and pretends that the "Italian Mafia" is somehow the equivalent of the Frankfurt School.
Look in wonder as he flails about making irrelevant claims about blacks and Arabs, even though Jews helped organize the Black Panthers (David Horowitz "Radical Son").
You can tell Arlen is white because no other race postures enlightenment while being a Relativist moron with no sense of self.

I'll leave this post here, to remind people that anti-Zionists and antisemites do exist. Some of them are actual plants working for the Obama/Holder/NWO's "Justice Department," though I have no such knowledge regarding TRT.
JB says
They were SELF LOATHING "Jews" who hated their religion, and the very essence OF religion – i.e. betrayers OF Judaism. All religions and ethnicities have such betrayals. Don't confuse what they were (supposedly) by birth, with what they were in essence and in action.
Zadok says
October 22, 2013, 8:17 am at 8:17 am
Don't judge all Israel based on these few. James Dewey and Edward R Murrow were not Jewish and were mostly responsible for infiltrating these Frankfurt professors into our school system.
I would also point out Genesis 12:3.

Run-of-the-mill Christmas movie from Hallmark...
Well, as I sat down to watch the 2021 Hallmark Christmas movie titled "The Christmas Contest", I have to admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any high expectations. Why? Well, Hallmark tends to just spew these movies out by the dozens and usually following the same blueprint for each and every single movie.
But "The Christmas Contest" might be different, so I gave it a chance.
And while "The Christmas Contest" is watchable, it was just another run-of-the-mill Christmas movie with that archetypical Hallmark feel to it. So if you enjoy these overly sappy Christmas movies that are based around a hate-turns-to-love feel between the two lead performers type of movies, then you will certainly enjoy "The Christmas Contest". And if you are into the archetypical Hallmark Christmas movies, then "The Christmas Contest" is definitely going to be right up your alley.
The acting performances in the movie were good, taking into consideration the limitations of the script and the premise of the whole thing. Candace Cameron Bure and John Brotherton actually does have good on-screen chemistry together. The movie also had the likes of Barbara Niven and Jennifer Higgin on the cast list.
"The Christmas Contest" is an archetypical Hallmark Christmas movie in every meaning of that thing. So writer Joie Botkin didn't really bring much of anything new to the table with this 2021 movie. The movie was as predictable as it was sappy.
My rating of "The Christmas Contest" from director Paule Elle lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.

I was never a fan of Fuller House
Another story about a televised contest between old flames. Actually, some of the challenges in the contest were mildly interesting, but the last one was a little convoluted.
My main complaint with this movie is how annoying the two lead characters were in the beginning, and then there is 180 degree personality shift which turns them into saints. Ben was especially annoying as a stereotypical narcissistic jock. Meanwhile Candace frequently can start a movie as arrogant and overly competitive and this movie is no different. This made it difficult for me to enjoy any chemistry the two had.
There were some comedic gags based on physical comedy and overzealousness reminiscent of Fuller House style comedy.
Overall, the movie is about what you'd expect, but I should have known better.

This movie was a solid 7 until the inevitable emotional crisis of Lara (Candace) at the end which bumped in up to an almost 8, rounded up. This was shaping up as a light and fluffy typical Hallmark plot of 2 exes who begin to rekindle their relationship when they are reluctantly thrown together years after a painful breakup. They are both finalists in a contest over which one can be the most Christmassy. The winner gets $50,000 for the charity of their choice. It involves such things as trivia, baking, singing and dancing, and Christmas tree decorating All of which provide plenty of opportunity for some great physical comedy as well as some witty snarky dialogue.
Candace's excellent comedic talents are on display throughout. John Brotherton as Ben over acts to the point of obnoxiousness, but as least we know his character is a good guy underneath the immature surface. There were some entertaining subplots involving his relationship with a lonely 12 your old boy, his mother coming out of her shell, Lara's mother's barely concealed antipathy to Ben was very entertaining as well. Everything was pretty funny as Ben and Lara, along with their hand-picked teams try to outdo each other in their quest for the prize . Things are looking up for their relationship as well until Ben breaks Lara's heart once again. The swift and unexpected turn from comedy to drama was head swiveling. It's not just a bump in the road as is usual in these things. Candace's despair and anguish over her disappointment was one of the best pieces of acting in a Hallmark movie I've seen. She was heartbreaking. And then, just as we thought we were done with the dramatic developments, it exposes a dark side to her relationship with her mother, beautifully played by Barbara Niven. Throughout the movie Lara's mother seemed to have an ideal relationship with her daughter: loving, supportive, and fun. Almost sisterly, but in a good way. I truly did not see the blow up coming.
Candace's relationships with her mother and her ex are, of course, repaired by the end. They all vow to change. Even Candace, who all the while had come across as a really together person with her life on the right track. It was a thoughtful and unexpected way to get to the happy ending and with a good message to boot.


It's another word originating from a work of creative writing, like mumpsimus, and actually I think the two of them make a nice pair: "Have you heard Bob's latest rodomontade?" "Oh, he's just an old mumpsimus" etc.
As to the word's origins, Ariosto was an Italian poet who wrote the romantic epic poem Orlando Furioso in c.1513. Rodomonte is a boastful warrior who joins forces with the King of Africa to overrun Europe. They besiege the Emperor Charlemagne in Paris, but the bulk of the action takes place all over the world in a fantastical love story that even takes a detour to the moon.
Gives Paris to the flames, and levels Rome."
arder Parigi e spianar Roma santa."
It's perhaps needless to say that things don't go too well for old Rodomonte. He's cruel, haughty and scornful and the poem ends with his death. Beware boasters: don't get cocky.

Gatekeepers Controlling Narrative Ensure Truth Suppressed from General Population
https://www.oathkeepers.org
by:David Codrea
Fake news, lies and smears are what the public hears about Oath Keepers from the media. And limited means of correcting the record are increasingly and intentionally being blocked.
As part of keeping up with current news reports about topics relevant to my interests, I subscribe to Google Alerts. Every day I get emails based on key words I designate to allow me to see what's being reported in Google-recognized media.
You can see from the feature illustration above what the general public is being led to believe about Oath Keepers. It's like the Southern Poverty Law Center narrative on steroids.
Patriots who revere the Constitution are called "anti-government." An association with bylaws featured prominently in the website header that are available for anyone to see for themselves is called a "militia." That those bylaws disqualify from membership any "person who advocates, or has been or is a member, or associated with, any organization, formal or informal, that advocates the overthrow of the government of the United States or the violation of the Constitution thereof," and any "person who advocates, or has been or is a member, or associated with, any organization, formal or informal, that advocates discrimination, violence, or hatred toward any person based upon their race, nationality, creed, or color," is never mentioned. All most Americans will ever hear about Oath Keepers is that they are right wing extremists, domestic terrorists and haters on par with Nazis and the Klan.
Correcting that record is also suppressed. The Google News feed does not include articles originated by Oath Keepers, limiting what does appear to … well, see for yourself. That's also a recurring problem I have with articles I publish in other venues that do make the news feed – only to be removed later by deliberate intervention, something I've documented time and again after noticing exclusive stories being "disappeared."
Relying on the so-called "mainstream media" to give a fair shake has proven futile. Too many liberty advocates have been burned too many times by opening up to supposedly objective reporters, only to find out later they've been presented out of context and used to advance a negative narrative.
That basically leaves two ways to get our side of the story out: Rely on supporters to share links (which is generally only done by a handful with very limited contacts, and even then not usually consistently), or spread the word in the only affordable way we can, via so-called "social media." Do that though, and there's an army of "progressive" snitches reporting posts they don't like to moderators in order to get them removed. Author Matt Bracken found that out recently when he committed the "grave offense" of using the word "tranny" in a Facebook post about convicted traitor Bradley Manning, and received a seven-day suspension and the threat of permanent expulsion to boot (even though there's a "Tranny Girls" group with over 5,000 members).
It's no secret that Facebook "routinely suppress[es] conservative news," and that Twitter kicks off non-"progressive" accounts it finds objectionable. Under the guise of combating "hate speech," Twitter "suspend[ed] alt-right accounts."
Similarly, You Tube has been wholesale "demonetizing" videos, taking away the means for those producing content they don't agree with to be paid for what in many cases are their livelihoods. And we recently saw an employee of parent company Google was fired for the heresy of daring to criticize the corporate social justice warrior orthodoxy. Meanwhile, per The Daily Caller, "PayPal banned Jihad Watch and the American Freedom Defense Initiative from receiving online donations using their platform because of the site's "activities" after being designated as "hate sites" by left-wing groups. " That, reportedly, was after those sites were smeared by a George Soros-funded group.But think about that – businesses can economically refuse to do business with those whom they disagree, unless of course if you're a Christian baker and there's a gay wedding cake to be baked. Beyond that is the sentiment that if your speech is disapproved, you have no right to it. If you're deemed a "hater," what other rights would they say you shouldn't have? Why should we recognize someone Antifa calls a "Nazi's" right to keep and bear arms? Why should someone condemned by college Marxists as a "fascist" be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, or against self-incrimination, or from cruel and unusual punishments?
That's what those presuming to be the authorities for what constitutes free speech are effectively saying.
And if I can refuse to sell you services, what about goods? Starve, Nazi! And you don't deserve a place to live or medical treatment…
What about setting up alternatives?
Gab is trying. And true to form, because many in the so-called "alt-right" have gone over to it, the network is being smeared as a haven for racists. To drive that point home, Google just dropped it from the Play Store.
True dat.
Expect similar suppression against any competitor that might arise and that doesn't toe the "approved thought" line. Corporate advertisers, being for the most part spineless, lying weasels in it for the buck, are quick to bolt at the first sign of controversy. The ability to pay expenses, to profit and to compete has been effectively blocked.
So what do we do? After all, we're talking about private companies here, right? True, they're essentially monopolies, and any other "robber baron" would be busted on antitrust "laws," but the impulse to sic the Feds on them needs to be balanced against Constitutional constraints.
What are they? How do you balance that against the right of free association? Does entering into commerce make a difference? Should it?
And what can we do to get our message out beyond a niche readership that is being squeezed into a sealed echo chamber? Because as things stand now, the gatekeepers of approved thought might not be able to stop the signal, but they sure are doing everything they can to block it.
If you believe in the mission of Oath Keepers, to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, please consider making a donation to support our work. You can donate HERE.

Only Difference Between Alt-Left and Neo-Nazis is Color of People They Hate
by: D Jolly
A week and half ago, white supremacist groups once again garnered national attention in Charlottesville, Virginia. They were conducting a peaceful demonstration when alt-left hate groups such Black Lives Matter and Antifa attacked them, sparking an hour of violence.
To no surprise the liberal mainstream blamed the alt-right white supremacists for the violence, when video coverage of the event clearly showed that it was the alt-left liberal hate groups that started the violence.
President Donald Trump did condemn white supremacist groups involved, naming the KKK and neo-Nazis, but evidently, he didn't do it quick enough to appease the liberals. In fact, Trump condemned extremist groups on both sides of the political fence – right and left.
Then he dared to speak the truth by laying part of the blame for the violence in Charlottesville on the alt-left groups for confronting and attacking the white supremacists. That's when the media, Democrats and a number of Republicans began to condemn Trump. Many believed that in some way, he was condoning the actions and views of white supremacists, but he never did.
Everyone seems to be so quick to lay all of the condemnation on the alt-right white supremacists and no condemnation on the alt-left extremists. The media and Democrats point to the racist views of the white supremacists but when you sit down and look at many of their views with those of some of the alt-left groups, there is really very little difference – specifically, I'm talking about the neo-Nazis and either Black Lives Matter or Antifa.
All of them are racists. Neo-Nazis hate blacks and other ethnic groups if they are not white. Black Lives Matter hate whites and other ethnic groups if they are not black. The only difference in their racist views is the color of the skin of who they hate.
What about other political issues?
Abortion – Nazis and neo-Nazis are proabortion. They support it here in the US, especially for black Americans. Alt-left groups also support abortion, as do virtually every other liberal in the nation. None of the groups believe in the sanctity of life or that life begins at conception.
Gun control – One of the first things Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party did in Germany was total gun control and gun confiscation. They may not make it very public, but the majority of neo-Nazis in America also believe in gun control. It's easier to enslave the population if that population has been disarmed. Alt-left groups, including Antifa and Black Lives Matter also believe in gun control and blame much of the violence in America on the lack of enough gun control laws, not on the people who commit the crimes.
Free speech – Consider that alt-right neo-Nazis, Black Lives Matter and Antifa, all want to restrict the right of free speech for anyone who doesn't agree with their views. Neo-Nazis don't want black activists to be able to speak openly and condemn them for their racist and extremist views. Black Lives Matter and Antifa are also trying to silence the free speech of others, especially white supremacist groups, along with any and all white conservatives.
Violence – All three groups have resorted to violent demonstrations and protests while trying to silence the other groups and to get their extremist views across to a gullible public.
America – None of the extremist hate groups – alt-right or alt-left – like the America that many of us knew and loved. They all want to change and mold America into something different, something that supports their extremist and racist views at the national level.
When you boil it all down, other than the color of whom they hate, is there isn't any real difference between neo-Nazis, Black Lives Matter and Antifa?

BLM-Bundy Standoff: April 12, 2014
Launch slideshow »
A federal jury in Las Vegas refused Tuesday to convict four defendants who were retried on accusations that they threatened and assaulted federal agents by wielding assault weapons in a 2014 confrontation to stop a cattle roundup near the Nevada ranch of states' rights figure Cliven Bundy.
In a stunning setback to federal prosecutors planning to try the Bundy family patriarch and two adult sons later this year, the jury acquitted Ricky Lovelien and Steven Stewart of all 10 charges, and delivered not-guilty findings on most charges against Scott Drexler and Eric Parker.
More than 30 defendants' supporters in the courtroom broke into applause after Chief U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro ordered Lovelien and Stewart freed immediately and set Wednesday morning hearings to decide if Parker and Drexler should remain jailed pending a government decision whether to seek a third trial.
"Random people off the streets, these jurors, they told the government again that we're not going to put up with tyranny," said a John Lamb, a Montana resident who attended almost all the five weeks of trial, which began with jury selection July 10.
"They've been tried twice and found not guilty," Bundy family matriarch Carol Bundy said outside court. "We the people are not guilty."
A first trial earlier this year lasted two months and ended in April with a different jury finding two defendants — Gregory Burleson of Phoenix and Todd Engel of Idaho — guilty of some charges but failing to reach verdicts against Drexler, Parker, Lovelien and Stewart.
Prosecutors characterized the six as the least culpable of 19 co-defendants arrested in early 2016 and charged in the case, including Bundy family members. With the release of Lovelien and Stewart, 17 are still in federal custody.
The current jury deliberated four full days after more than 20 days of testimony. The six men and six women returned no verdicts on four charges against Parker — assault on a federal officer, threatening a federal officer and two related counts of use of a firearm — and also hung on charges of assault on a federal officer and brandishing a firearm against Drexler. Navarro declared a mistrial on those counts.
None of the defendants was found guilty of a key conspiracy charge alleging that they plotted with Bundy family members to form a self-styled militia and prevent the lawful enforcement of multiple court orders to remove Bundy cattle from arid desert rangeland in what is now the Gold Butte National Monument.
Bundy stopped paying grazing fees decades ago, saying he refused to recognize federal authority over public land where he said his family grazed cattle since the early 1900s. The dispute has roots a nearly half-century fight over public lands in Nevada and the West, where the federal government controls vast expanses of land.
Acting U.S. Attorney Steven Myhre declined immediate comment on the verdicts. He said he'd make a determination later whether to seek a third trial for Parker and Drexler.
Stewart became emotional and reached for tissues as the jury findings were read. He and Lovelien were later taken with their lawyers, Richard Tanasi and Shawn Perez, to be processed by U.S. marshals for release.
Stewart, 38, lives in Hailey, Idaho. Lovelien, 54, is from Westville, Oklahoma, but he led a militia group called Montana State Defense Force.
All four men were photographed carrying assault-style weapons during the standoff near the Nevada town of Bunkerville, about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas. Each had faced the possibility of decades in federal prison if they were convicted.
Jurors saw images of Parker and Drexler in prone shooting positions looking down their rifles through slots in the concrete barrier of an Interstate 15 freeway overpass toward heavily armed federal agents guarding a corral of cows below.
Defense attorneys noted that no shots were fired and no one was injured. They cast the tense standoff with more than 100 men, women and children in the potential crossfire as an ultimately peaceful protest involving people upset about aggressive tactics used by federal land managers against Bundy family members.
Drexler, 46, is from Challis, Idaho, and Parker, 34, is from Hailey, Idaho.
Parker's attorney, Jess Marchese, said he hoped Myhre will dismiss the two charges remaining against his client.
Drexler's attorney, Todd Leventhal, referred to defense teams' complaints that Navarro set such strict rules of evidence that defendants weren't able to tell why they traveled to the Bundy ranch.
The judge rejected testimony from five prospective defense witnesses, and Drexler and Parker were the only defendants to testify in their defense. However, the judge struck Parker's testimony for what she said was a deliberate failure to keep his testimony within her rules.
All four defense attorneys declined Aug. 15 to make closing arguments, a gesture of standing mute that Leventhal said may have had an effect on the jury.
"As much as we were shut down from bringing anything up, the jury saw through it," he said.
Ha this is the only Eclipse2017 I watched!

There's a reason you never see liberal riots in Texas.
And Texas Policy Academy Instructor Phil Ryan took the time to explain why, in a Facebook post that has liberals and AntiFa terrorists sobbing.
Ryan writes:
As a police officer and police academy instructor, I am posting this as a public service announcement.
In Texas, Criminal Mischief (Vandalism) is a crime. So, let's say someone is defacing or destroying a monument or a statue, not that it happens, just a hypothetical. That would be Criminal Mischief under Texas Penal Code:
Sec. 28.03. CRIMINAL MISCHIEF.
(a) A person commits an offense if, without the effective consent of the owner:
(1) he intentionally or knowingly damages or destroys the tangible property of the owner;
(2) he intentionally or knowingly tampers with the tangible property of the owner and causes pecuniary loss or substantial inconvenience to the owner or a third person; or
(3) he intentionally or knowingly makes markings, including inscriptions, slogans, drawings, or paintings, on the tangible property of the owner.
Texas Penal Code Chapter 9, which are the laws concerning the use of force and deadly force to protect yourself, someone else, your property, or someone else's property (could be state, county or municipal property (the peoples). In Chapter 9 under defense of property it says:
Sec. 9.43. PROTECTION OF THIRD PERSON'S PROPERTY.
A person is justified in using force or deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property of a third person if, under the circumstances as he reasonably believes them to be, the actor would be justified under Section 9.41 or 9.42 in using force or deadly force to protect his own land or property and:
(1) the actor reasonably believes the unlawful interference constitutes attempted or consummated theft of or criminal mischief to the tangible, movable property;
Chapter 9.41 states: PROTECTION OF ONE'S OWN PROPERTY.
(a) A person in lawful possession of land or tangible, movable property is justified in using force against another when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to prevent or terminate the other's trespass on the land or unlawful interference with the property (Criminal Mischief is unlawful interference with property).
Chapter 9.42 states: DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY.
A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime (Night time is 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise).
Bottom line, if someone is destroying a monument or statue that isn't theirs, you can defend it by force during the day with deadly force at night.
Just a little tip, from your Uncle Phil…"
Yes, in Texas you can legally use your God-given right to self-defense to stop a liberal AntiaFa terrorist attack before it turns into another blood-soaked mass riot.
Fox CEO Murdoch Slams Trump, Conservatives Respond
oped: The "Progressive" Murdoch brothers have destroyed FoxNews...it is nothing more than CNN/MSNBC/Variety Magazine lite now... Spoiled Brat #IDIOTS
James Murdoch, the CEO of Fox News' parent company, has been slammed by conservatives for harshly criticizing President Donald Trump and suggesting he had backed Nazi sympathizers.
Earlier this week, Murdoch, who heads 21st Century Fox, wrote "What we watched this last week in Charlottesville and the reaction to it by the president of the United States concern all of us as Americans and free people."
Murdoch pledged $1 million to the Anti-Defamation League to fight hate crimes and prejudice, he said.
"The presence of hate in our society was appallingly laid bare as we watched swastikas brandished on the streets of Charlottesville and acts of brutal terrorism and violence perpetrated by a racist mob," Murdoch added.
"I can't even believe I have to write this: Standing up to Nazis is essential; there are no good Nazis. Or Klansmen, or terrorists."
Trump did condemn white supremacists and Nazi sympathizers, including the person who murdered a young protester.
But, in an angry exchange with reporters in New York on Tuesday, President Trump reiterated his initial comments that "there is blame on both sides" in the melee over the removal of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's statue from a downtown Charlottesville park.
However, Trump's defiance drew praise from many conservatives, including commentator Ann Coulter, who tweeted Tuesday: "We got our leader back."
Radio talk-show host Laura Ingraham added that the president "made some points that were factually right."
"There was violence on both sides in that event Saturday," she said. "Anyone who watched the video could see it."
News of Murdoch's criticism of Trump drew sharp blowback from some conservative quarters.
A Breitbart News story on the Murdoch letter drew over 2,500 comments from angry readers, most supportive of Trump and critical of Fox News.
Here are some examples:
"James Murdoch and his ilk destroyed Fox and is a traitor to the people who made Fox News number 1."
"It's amazing how the leftist business leaders think it's ok to take these publicly funded businesses into failure by alienating their Conservative customers."
"If Trump was saying and doing the things that the dishonest press 'reports,' I would agree that he is badly hurting the country. The fact that the dishonest press is distorting and smearing him puts the onus on the dishonest press for badly hurting the country. When do fake journalists have to answer for sedition?"

The New Jersey Family Collaborative Law Act creates a new way to settle differences in divorce and dissolution cases. This method of cooperative problem solving has its advantages, but when it fails it can potentially add time and expense to the process of terminating marriages and civil unions. If you are facing a divorce or the dissolution of a civil union, you should consult with a New Jersey family law attorney to determine which path might lead to the best outcome for your case.
The New Jersey Supreme Court has long tried to encourage alternatives to courtroom divorce battles. The Supreme Court requires attorneys to inform their clients about alternative dispute resolution options. Now there is an additional alternative available in New Jersey, which promises a friendlier approach to resolving differences.
Family Collaborative Law encourages negotiation and problem solving between the parties in a divorce or civil union dissolution. The New Jersey version of this concept was codified in September 2014, and it is based on the 2009 Uniform Collaborative Law Act that was created by the Uniform Law Commission. Several other states have also enacted similar laws.
There are three key sections of the law that establish its main guidelines. Subsection 5(a) requires parties to state their intent, articulate the contested issues, define the roles of lawyers in the process, clarify the lawyers' ethical rules, and maintain confidentiality in the negotiation process.
Subsection 7(b) establishes the terms that can abruptly terminate the collaborative process and potentially send the case to trial. Under this subsection, either party can unilaterally terminate the process for any reason, or for no reason at all. The collaborative process also terminates if either party initiates divorce proceedings without telling the other party, or obtains a restraining order against the other party. Likewise, the process ends if either party obtains emergency relief from a tribunal. If either side terminates its lawyer or loses its lawyer due to an 'ethical withdrawal,' the collaborative process terminates. Finally, if either side withholds pertinent information from the other, it spoils the collaborative effort and stops the collaborative law process.
That last part relates to Subsection 9, which covers the disclosure of information. Normally, a divorce by trial includes a process called "discovery." In this phase of a traditional trial, both sides are required to provide information to each other so that the process is open and honest. Subsection 9 similarly requires both parties to act in good faith and to willingly provide a candid disclosure of all information that relates to the dispute. Furthermore, if any of that information changes, each side is required to promptly inform the other side.
When things go well, it is possible that a collaborative process can provide a quicker, friendlier, and potentially less expensive means of settling differences. But one should also consider the possibility that it might just add more time, effort, and money to an already burdensome process. If you strongly sense that you will just end up going to trial anyway, this process is probably not for you.
Each divorce case contains a number of unique factors. The complexity of the financial matters, the involvement of children, and the general ability of both sides to "talk it out" should be considered when deciding which route is best for your case. When choosing a method for resolving your divorce or dissolution case, you should talk to an experienced New Jersey family law attorney. The attorneys at Goldstein Law Group have the knowledge and compassion needed to help you understand your case. Call 732-967-6777, or use the contact link on this page to request a consultation.

The Coolest, Most Eye-Opening NBA Advanced Stats of the Week
Ever wonder how valuable Steph Curry is to the Golden State Warriors? Advanced stats from nba.com provide the answer.
Points, rebounds, block, steals. Traditional stats are cool and all, but when nba.com provides all the advanced stats you could ever dream of, ones that give you a peek into how games are won and lost on a deeper level, why would you not take advantage of that knowledge? From finding out which player's assists are the most valuable to how much impact Stephen Curry has on a Warriors' win, these are the coolest advanced stats of the week.
The Orlando Magic Move. Like A Lot
The top two players in terms of distance traveled on the court are the Orlando Magic's Victor Oladipo and Evan Fournier. Elfrid Payton, another Magic starter, comes in 16th.
Oladipo has run 24 miles in the Magic's eight games this season, followed by Fournier at 22. There are a couple reasons for this. One, the Magic, with new head coach Scott Skiles, want to push the pace on offense. Things haven't fully blossomed yet—the Magic rank 18th in pace (possessions per 48 minutes)—but they are averaging over 100 points per game. Players are running, but the scoring results aren't quite yet where the team wants them to be.
Second, in the case of Oladipo, most of his shots come after zero dribbles, which means he's running around screens to get himself open before pulling up for a catch-and-shoot. This is also the case with Fournier, who takes over 45 percent of his shots after zero dribbles. Oladipo is also 18th in the NBA in steals (1.7 per game), and after many of them, he bolts downcourt to start a fast break.
Skiles has praised Oladipo's defense early on this season, like how he's been fighting through screens to stay on his man; and this could be a big reason why he's run 11 miles on defense already. Although the Magic are still figuring out their offense, their young players can be seen flying around the court at any given time.
Stephen Curry Does it All For the Warriors
Beyond hitting 3-pointers from across the Golden Gate Bridge, turning opponents' ankles to dust and generally being completely unguardable, NBA MVP Stephen Curry is an all-encompassing player for the Warriors. Nba.com publishes a cool stat called Player Impact Estimate, or PIE, which purports to measure how much a player impacts a game, including points, rebounds, assists and other data. The official definition of PIE is "the percentage of game events a player achieves."
The average PIE percentage, as reported by nba.com, is 10 percent. Steph Curry's PIE rating? Oh, just a casual 23.1 percent, tops in the league. Golden State has also yet to lose a game this season. Coincidence? We think not, especially when their marquee player does everything, and does it all so well, on the floor for 34 minutes per game.
Kelly Olynyk . . . Defensive Juggernaut?
What are some names that come to mind when you think of the best defensive players in the NBA? Dwight Howard? Kawhi Leonard? Kelly Olynyk? That last name may come as a bit of a surprise, since the Boston Celtics forward is probably best known for pulling Kevin Love's arm out of its socket in last year's playoffs. But in five games this season, Olynyk is No. 1 in the NBA in defensive rating, which is the points allowed per 100 possessions by a team when said player is on the court.
With Olynyk on the court, the Celtics are giving up just 72.9 points per 100 possessions, lowest in the league by a wide margin. Raul Neto, a guard for the Utah Jazz, is second at 79.6. To be fair, Olynyk is playing only 17 minutes a game off the bench, so the sample size is admittedly small. But in the five games he's played, Olynyk has anchored a stiff defensive effort for the Celtics while he's on the court.
Russell Westbrook Has the Most Valuable Assist in the League
When we think of Russell Westbrook, the human wind-up doll who charges at the rim with reckless abandon at any sign of an opening, we continually envision a "score first" point guard; and we have criticized him for his inability to distribute the ball and play off of his running mate, Kevin Durant. And we were wrong.
Fresh off posting a triple-double last night against the Washington Wizards, Westbrook is not only averaging 10.9 assists per game, but his assists are also the most valuable assists in the league. What do we mean by that? His Oklahoma City Thunder teammates are scoring 25.3 points off assists from Westbrook, good for tops in the NBA. The next highest come from John Wall, five points below Westbrook at 20.3 a game.
It's time to stop thinking of Westbrook as a pure scorer.
