It's the best time of the season: the seatbelt-free, head-spinning thrill ride that is the first round of the NHL playoffs. But first, our award ballots are due. This year, for the first time ever, all votes will be revealed once the winners are announced. Prior to that, the league prefers we keep our picks (mostly) quiet, so as not to ruin the Hitchcockian suspense.
The deadline is 7 p.m. (ET) Wednesday, so this isn't finalized, but here's where I'm going.
People get riled up over this, so as I say every year: If I don't vote for your favourite players, it is because I dislike them, your team… and you.

HART TROPHY
Under consideration: This must be the hardest vote ever. The list of legitimate contenders is enormous. I like to do the Hart first, because it plays a significant role in the rest of my picks. I used to do things like, well, if this guy doesn't get the Hart, maybe give him a Byng or Selke vote ahead of someone he lost to. Or, a "Selke Specialist" got a bump so I wasn't voting for the same person two or three times. Eventually, I thought that was kind of dumb. If someone is good enough for the Hart, why should they get penalized in another category?
Patrice Bergeron was No. 1 on my ballot until he got hurt, and I'm a big believer in games played. "Hate" doesn't exist in the regular season like it used to, but with the speed, the shot-blocking and accidental crashing of bodies, it's a real accomplishment to last. Some of the guys considered who probably won't be on many ballots are Aleksander Barkov, Sergei Bobrovsky, Sidney Crosby (so weird to type this), Marc-Andre Fleury, Connor Hellebuyck, William Karlsson, Roberto Luongo, Rickard Rakell, Pekka Rinne, Jaden Schwartz and Andrei Vasilevskiy.
That left me with 13: Claude Giroux, Taylor Hall, Anze Kopitar, Nikita Kucherov, Nathan MacKinnon, Evgeni Malkin, Brad Marchand, Connor McDavid, Alex Ovechkin, Tyler Seguin, Eric Staal, Steven Stamkos and Blake Wheeler.
Good luck with that. I'd bet 11 of them get at least one first-place vote. As I write this, I haven't submitted the final ballot, because there are two locks and three spots for the last five.
On the ballot: Three of Giroux, Kopitar, Kucherov, McDavid and Wheeler. Still deciding.
It came down to: Hall and MacKinnon. In a lot of ways, both candidacies started last summer. Hall moved to Toronto and, for the first time, spent considerable time skating with other NHLers. One was John Tavares, who rubs off on a lot of his contemporaries, and Hall was no exception. MacKinnon spends plenty of time with Crosby, which doesn't hurt much, either. He was determined to show up with a fantastic attitude after Colorado went through the worst season of any team in the 21st century. At the NHL media tour right after Labour Day, he offered no platitudes, but a passionate oration indicating how he couldn't wait to win in Colorado because he knew how bad it felt to lose in Colorado.
Hall led New Jersey in scoring by a ridiculous 41 points. Since the calendar flipped to 2018, he had points in 36 of 40 games, with only one back-to-back bagel.
MacKinnon similarly drove the bus in Denver, pushing the Avalanche to a monstrous 47-point improvement. In January, he caught Kucherov for the NHL lead in even-strength points before McDavid caught fire. He slumped down the stretch and the team nearly capsized, but without their starting goaltender and biggest horse on the blue line, he scored what turned out to be the winning goal in the win-or-go-home showdown with St. Louis.
Both are incredibly deserving.
NORRIS TROPHY
Under consideration: John Carlson, Zdeno Chara, Mark Giordano, Erik Johnson, John Klingberg, Torey Krug, Charlie McAvoy, Alex Pietrangelo, Ryan Suter.
On the ballot: I have three guys for the last two spots: Seth Jones, Roman Josi and Marc-Edouard Vlasic. The Nashville guys are almost impossible to pick between. Vlasic might get shafted for more awards than any other player in the NHL. Of the four defencemen who played most for San Jose this season, he's the only one who was on the ice for 50 per cent of the goals scored by either team at five-on-five. And he started just 42 per cent of the time in the offensive zone. He is the league's most anonymous terrific player. Funny story: The Sharks had a late-season Hockey Night game in Vancouver, and I wanted to showcase him. Vlasic responded with two of the worst periods I saw him play all year.
It came down to: Drew Doughty, Victor Hedman and P.K. Subban. Most impressive among all three was they didn't play with historical top-pair partners. Doughty's regular duo was with Derek Forbort; Hedman's was Jake Dotchin; Subban at least had familiarity with Alexei Emelin. It didn't prevent any from having monstrous seasons.
CALDER TROPHY
Under consideration: Alex DeBrincat, Mikhail Sergachev, Malcolm Subban.
On the ballot: Brock Boeser, Pierre-Luc Dubois and Charles McAvoy will be there. Dubois has been a little under-appreciated in a very strong class. His most common opponents are guys like Crosby, Giroux and Hall. There is one spot for Will Butcher, Kyle Connor, Yanni Gourde, Nico Hischier and Clayton Keller.
It came down to: Mathew Barzal. If you believe in wagering, he's probably the safest bet.
SELKE
Under consideration: Logan Couture, Radek Faksa, Mikko Koivu, Joe Pavelski, Brayden Point, Jakob Silfverberg. In the last few weeks, one Star started campaigning for Faksa, demanding I watch what he's doing. At five-on-five, he started in the offensive zone 30 per cent of the time and the Stars scored more than 60 per cent of the goals with him out there. He drew a lot of tough assignments, too.
On the ballot: Patrice Bergeron.
It came down to: Aleksander Barkov, Sean Couturier, Anze Kopitar and William Karlsson. If Kopitar wins the Hart (and I know at least one voter pushing him), L.A.'s public-relations campaign will be the most successful since Anaheim's for Corey Perry in 2011.

LADY BYNG
Under consideration: Evgenii Dadonov, Claude Giroux, William Karlsson, Auston Matthews, Morgan Rielly, Mark Stone.
On the ballot: I really, really wanted to put Marc-Edouard Vlasic No. 1. I believe more defencemen should win the award. Properly using your stick is such a skill now with all the penalties. Vlasic took two minor penalties… all year! And both were for puck over the glass. Unfortunately, he took three misconducts, and as Nick Kypreos pointed out: "You can't vote for a guy who took three misconducts as the most gentlemanly player." He's on my ballot, though, with Barkov, Kopitar, McDavid and Pietrangelo.
1. From time to time, the NHL receives inquiries from potential ownership groups. During the expansion process that spawned the Vegas Golden Knights, one Canadian group reached out with a question: Would you consider another franchise in the Toronto area? Created by Pasquale (Pat) Paletta as a beef slaughter and meatpacking operation in 1951, Paletta International expanded into real estate and construction. It's not imminent, and it's far from certain, but, according to several sources, the NHL and the Palettas have continued to discuss the possibility. Key to its conversations is land the family owns in Burlington, west of Toronto. It is believed the family would build the arena where a potential team would play. Pat's son Angelo is the point person on the project. Attempts to reach him were politely declined.
"They are trying the Mark Chipman route," one source said, referring to the Winnipeg Jets owner. "Don't say anything that upsets the NHL."
At the board of governors meeting in December, the league announced Seattle is next on the docket, with a franchise fee of US$650 million. The 2020–21 season is the likely target, although that could be complicated by CBA discussions. It will be fascinating to see where this goes.

2. The Ottawa Senators have some huge decisions to make: The futures of Guy Boucher, Matt Duchene, Erik Karlsson and Stone foremost among them. It's obvious from following Tuesday's ticket-holders meeting on Twitter that, inside the organization, the wounds of the past season are very fresh. I get that it was a rough year, but you can't make any of these decisions without clarity of mind. At some point, you have to look forward, not back. What stood out from the get-together was that GM Pierre Dorion indicated he had a 30-minute meeting with Karlsson on Monday, said he would not deal the captain at the draft and will make an eight-year offer on July 1, when Karlsson is eligible to re-signed. Owner Eugene Melnyk added, "Erik is a special player, he lights up the ice. … If it's a question of dollars there are teams that can outgun us 5-1. We could get outgunned." So, barring a change they're going to offer him something and gauge things by the response.
3. The one thing I can see upsetting this plan? What if someone else decides they have to have him? Ottawa may not be able to re-sign Karlsson before July 1, but you can do the old Monty Python "nudge, nudge, wink, wink." Someone who didn't get into the playoffs (or didn't go far enough) is going to tempt them.
4. It's early, but there's a lot of expectation that St. Louis is going to be an aggressive trade partner.
5. During the season, there were rumours of Ryan O'Reilly being available. I asked around, and was told unlikely, because centres are hard to find. They also saw him as protection for Jack Eichel, and eventually, Casey Mittelstadt.
Now, I wonder if the rumours kick up again. I don't think he intended to make as much news as he did with his "losing his love for the game" comments, but the Sabres know their mix isn't working and needs change. O'Reilly has value.
6. On the Islanders: I don't know whether it was a lack of communication, or someone said something they shouldn't, but it's clear ownership was not prepared to announce a return for GM Garth Snow and head coach Doug Weight. As owner Jon Ledecky said Monday and re-iterated with a statement Tuesday, "Everyone is under review." It could be something as simple as Tavares' decision determining everyone's fate. But, the organization was not prepared to commit to anyone or anything at this time. Ledecky getting up and leaving the podium was telling. He was not pleased, and, my guess is he didn't want to say anything that made the situation worse.
7. We could get a clearer picture of Dallas's future by the end of the week. Head coach Ken Hitchcock is getting points for Seguin's excellent season and taking a historically bad penalty kill from 73.9 in 2016-17 to fourth in the NHL on March 12, when Ben Bishop's injury wrecked his season. But, they did miss the playoffs and changes are coming.
The Stars had 244 power plays (20th in the NHL) and were short-handed 281 times, second-most to Nashville. That's not a good ratio, especially for a team with such firepower. At the all-star break, they were eighth in the NHL with three goals per 60 minutes. They simply stopped scoring and finished 18th. I also heard a very interesting stat: they led the league in both icings and offsides. Hitchcock signed a one-year deal to coach with a consulting role to follow. The Stars are expected to look for a new backup for Bishop. The bigger question is if they choose other repairs internally, making 2017 third-overall pick Miro Heiskanen and potential returnee Valeri Nichushkin their top off-season acquisitions.
8. With Seguin a year away from unrestricted free agency, 2018-19 is going to be a very big season for Jamie Benn. He finished with eight goals and 10 points in the last five games, but Dallas was pretty much done by that point. Benn hasn't been the same since an outstanding 2015-16 that made him a Hart finalist. They need him to get back to that level. How to get him back there will be an important internal conversation.
9. Spoke to a couple of owners about Thomas Dundon's potential salary spot for a new GM and a new coach if Bill Peters exercises his option. They definitely agree that, in the last few years, led by Mike Babcock at the coaching level and Steve Yzerman at the GM level, the coaches/GMs have gained major victories in job security and financial compensation. They have swung the pendulum their way. Why no coach firings until the last weekend of the season? Because the salaries are high enough that letting them go is a legitimate penalty. They wouldn't mind it swinging back a little, but don't see Carolina's targets as realistic.
10. If Peters does leave, you have to think AHL Charlotte coach Mike Vellucci is the likely replacement, although he's been rumoured as a GM possibility, too. Word is Dundon is a Rod Brind'Amour fan, too.

11. There are rumours former Vancouver assistant GM Laurence Gilman flew to Raleigh for a face-to-face interview with Dundon in the last couple of weeks, but I'm not sure where it stands.
12. Carolina drafted WHL Spokane centre Hudson Elynuik 74th in 2016. After 86 points in 71 games during the regular season, he had seven points in the playoffs before the Chiefs were eliminated by Portland in a decisive first-round Game 7. He's a big boy, bigger than his father, Pat, who went eighth overall in 1986. (He played 506 NHL games for Winnipeg, Washington, Tampa Bay and Ottawa.) There is word he will not sign with the Hurricanes and is going back into the draft. Deadline is June 1.
13. A lot of good names already thrown out there as potential hires for the Rangers, including NCAA Wisconsin's Tony Granato, AHL Toronto's Sheldon Keefe and NCAA Denver's Jim Montgomery. Wonder if they also take a look at AHL Manitoba's Pascal Vincent, just named the league's coach of the year. He fits their profile, too.
14. There are some wild rumours that Russian national team head coach Oleg Znarok may be coming to North America. His club team is St. Petersburg, current home of Ilya Kovalchuk.
15. Some European contacts say clubs there are asking about Willie Desjardins, who coached Canada to an Olympic bronze. They are being told he wants to look into NHL opportunities first.
16. Dominique Ducharme is GM and coach of QMJHL Drummondville, down 2-1 to Victoriaville in the Quebec League playoffs. Joel Bouchard is president and GM of Blainville-Boisbriand, up 3-0 on Moncton. Will either or both have a role with the Montreal Canadiens when their junior seasons end?
17. Detroit seems confident Henrik Zetterberg is coming back for 2018-19, although he's been careful to point out it depends on his back. For the third straight year, he played 82 games, but, as one teammate said, "You have no idea what he goes through to play." I think there were some who thought this was it. He is 40 points shy of 1,000. That's a worthwhile target.
18. Red Wings GM Ken Holland announced Tuesday that Jeff Blashill will be back next season. I really liked something the coach said to Daren Millard before a late-season game against Ottawa. Daren asked how hard it must be to get up for those games.
"Every time you play a National Hockey League game, it's special," Blashill replied. "Every one of our guys, when their careers are over, will want to come back and play one more game, even in the situation that we are in being out of the playoffs. This isn't perfect but it's a National Hockey League game."
19. Taylor Hall on the Sedins: "What I remember is being on the ice for a lot of minuses."

20. When the Devils came to Toronto in December, they were in the playoffs by seven points. Asked if he thought they were good enough, Hall said he was close to convinced, except they were still too dependent on their goalies. Asked when he finally, 100 per cent believed it would happen, he pointed at the six-game road trip in March where they went 4-2.
"We were on the brink either way, just hanging on to the wild card," he said. "The first game was in Nashville and we had a teem meeting before. Coach Hynes went up to the board and wrote our record against all the teams we still had to play. I think it was (a .672 winning percentage). It was a cool thing for him to do. He said, 'This is how you've done against these teams and this is why I believe in you.' Then we beat Nashville. I'll remember that as something that catapulted us."
21. Hall downplayed most of the questions you'd expect me to ask. How does he feel about making the post-season? "Not what you would expect, probably more relief," he answered. "This has been a solid year. I can't complain." Talk about understatement. He wasn't crazy about personal accomplishments. "This is not just about me, so many guys don't get credit for what they do." When pressed, he finally admitted that he received several messages from ex-teammates and friends who wrote "they were happy to see me experience playoffs. Some of them sent screenshots of voting for me for the Ted Lindsay Award."
That's the NHLPA vote for MVP, and he was proud of that. One of the toughest questions I had for him was if this finally allowed him to move on from the Oilers. Finally, some closure. "That's a fair way to put it. When I watched Edmonton, I didn't watch them to win or lose, just to see Connor McDavid. I focused on New Jersey."
22. I am very curious to see where McDavid finishes in the Lindsay voting. I probably asked for more feedback than normal, because the voting was so tight. The majority I spoke to had enormous respect for him as a player, but said playoffs matter.
23. One Western Conference coach on Doughty and Kopitar: "Those guys asked for change and put their (somethings) on the line. They delivered. That should matter in voting, too."
24. I don't have a vote for the Jack Adams or the Vezina. There are a lot of coaches who could win in any other year (Jared Bednar, Bruce Cassidy, Peter DeBoer, John Hynes, Paul Maurice, Barry Trotz), but Gerard Gallant won this award in December. Rinne would be my Vezina choice over Hellebuyck.
25. Going head-to-head with the playoff-tested Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin is a big challenge for the most grizzled veteran, never mind 19-year-old Nolan Patrick. The second-overall pick has come a long way this season. The Flyers didn't let him go to the world juniors or the Olympics, and, now, you can see what they were thinking. Instead of making him worry about multiple systems, they kept him in one place all year and the improvement is noticeable. He's "on his toes now instead of his heels," according to one scout and anticipating much better. This is going to be some challenge, but he should be readier for it.
26. No. 1 wild card among Eastern Conference playoff teams? Probably Columbus's power play, which ranked 25th. "I have no idea why it's as bad as it is," one scout said. "It has all the personnel and elements you need."
"They could win the conference if it ever gets going," said another.
27. Pre-taped some playoff interviews this week with Tyler Bozak and James van Riemsdyk. As much as I think it's overdone, I had to ask them about the 2013 series since they are two of the remaining players. What did I learn? First, neither of them has ever re-watched Game 7.
28. Four years ago, Karson Kuhlman went to the NHL Draft in Philadelphia, rated 94th among North American skaters. He was interviewed by several teams and thought he'd get picked. He didn't. Kuhlman went to NCAA Minnesota-Duluth, won a national championship last week, and was named MVP of both his region and the Frozen Four. Tuesday, he signed a two-year deal with Boston. That's an excellent comeback.
29. One scout said there was quite a turnout last weekend to watch the 2018 U.S. Youth Tier I national championships in Philadelphia. Among the crowd: Scott Bradley (Boston); Tod Button (Calgary); Ron Hextall and Chris Prior (Philadelphia); Mark Hunter (Toronto); Randy Sexton (Buffalo). It is believed they were watching draft-eligible Jay O'Brien, who plays for former NHL-er Tony Amonte at Thayer Academy, and Andrew Orpik (brother of Brooks) with the Cape Cod Whalers.
30. Many of you know I keep track of a stat: how many teams four points out of the playoffs after games played on Nov. 1 reach the post-season. In 2017-18, one managed to do it: Minnesota. Florida gave it an incredible run, but the Panthers fell short, along with Arizona, Buffalo, Edmonton and Montreal. That means just seven of 54 teams in that position have made it since 2005-06 (the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season doesn't count). If you don't start well, you don't have a chance.
31. It's really hard not to get emotional when thinking of all the beautiful things done in support of the Humboldt crash victims. From the millions raised on the GoFundMe page to the life-saving work of the medical personnel/first-responders to the support of the hockey community to the survivors of the Swift Current bus crash that came to town to the #SticksOutforHumboldt campaign, it's been incredibly special.
You always worry what happens when the attention wavers and/or people move on to the next thing. I was struck watching the mayor, Rob Muench, and the team president, Kevin Garinger. In the immediate aftermath of tragedy, someone has to step up and be in the forefront, especially when it is a major media story. No one likes to do that, of course, but someone has to. They fielded thousands of calls and texts, made themselves available, answered so many painful questions, bared their souls to a lot of strangers. People follow that, and we're seeing it. You can be hurt, but you can still be strong.
The summer of 1982 was very hard for our family. One year later, my father sent me and my sisters to Saskatchewan for a month. He wanted us to get to know that side of the family having been born in Melfort, 70 minutes from Humboldt. Later, my grandfather was the mayor of Wilkie, which is closer to North Battleford, where he lived in 1983. One night that summer, we had something we were supposed to go to. Then my grandfather saw the Roughriders playing on television, and said, "I'm going to stay home and watch this instead." This was a revelation, because I finally knew someone else in family who shared my priorities. But what I really remember was watching a few games in a three-day baseball tournament that brought in teams from across the province.
It was an event, and, assuming my memory is good, North Battleford lost in the championship game. My grandfather said something along the lines of, "You don't have to be from Toronto to love sports." It was an important summer for us and I thought a lot about that quote the last few days. You can argue for days about the good and bad of athletic competition, but it creates a passionate community. A passionate community that will help a lot of people who need it.

LSU's National Championship Hype Video Is Amazing
By Ryan Phillips
Ed Orgeron and LSU celebrate winning the Peach Bowl / Mike Zarrilli/Getty Images
The LSU Tigers are set to face off with the Clemson Tigers in the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship Game on Monday. It's been quite the run for LSU, as they've been the best team in college football all season and have a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback under center. On Thursday they dropped a hype video for the big game and, like LSU's season, it was magical.
Narrated by Anthony Mackie, the video is perfect. It's so well-produced and put together and if it doesn't get you fired up, you need to check you pulse.
Check out the video below:

That. Was. Awesome.
LSU will face Clemson Monday night at the Superdome for the national title. Both teams are 14-0 and have a legitimate claim to greatness. The winner will immediately be discussed among the greatest college football teams of all time.
Based on LSU's video, it's clear Joe Burrow, Ed Orgeron and the rest of the Tigers think they're going to go out and win.

Biografia
Autodidatta, impara a leggere sui libri trovati presso associazioni caritative. Nel 1977, all'età di 21 anni, si sposa con Françoise, dalla quale avrà tre figli. La famiglia si trasferisce a Saint-Romain-le-Noble, vicino ad Agen. La sua vita si divide tra varie occupazioni (manovale nei cantieri, muratore, contadino),che gli permettono di guadagnarsi da vivere, e periodi di disoccupazione durante i quali si dedica alla scrittura.

Prende contatti il poeta Jean Cussat-Blanc, la cui rivista Résurrection sarà la prima a pubblicarlo con evidente apprezzamento della sua scrittura. Un apprezzamento che si consolida con la pubblicazione della sua prima raccolta poetica, Sur la table inventée (edizioni Jacques Brémond), per la quale Thierry Metz ottenne il Premio Ilarie Voronca nel 1988, e in seguito con la pubblicazione da parte di Gallimard del Journal d'un maneuvre (1990), ispirato dal suo lavoro in un cantiere nel centro di Agen, con una introduzione del poeta Jean Grosjean.

La morte accidentale di Vincent, uno dei suoi tre figli, investito da un'auto all'età di otto anni il 20 maggio 1988, il giorno stesso dell'ottenimento del Premio Voronca, sarà per lui un dramma familiare e personale dal quale non si riprenderà mai, e che lo porta all'alcolismo. Nel 1996 si trasferisce a Bordeaux, e successivamente viene ricoverato  presso l'ospedale psichiatrico di Cadillac per combattere la sua dipendenza dall'alcool e il suo esaurimento nervoso. Durante due soggiorni  nell'istituto (1996 e 1997) scrive il quaderno preparatorio de L'Homme qui penche, in cui ritrae le ombre vaganti dell'ospedale. L'ultima di queste poesie è datata 31 gennaio 1997, due mesi e mezzo prima del suo suicidio, avvenuto in questo ospedale il 6 aprile del 1997.

Mediante l'utilizzo di un linguaggio epurato, la poesia di Thierry Metz è l'espressione contenuta, piena di sensibilità e angoscia, di un uomo spezzato dagli eventi della vita, ma che, secondo le parole di Jean Grosjean, riesce a fare in modo che "quello che potevamo prendere per un universo di banale mediocrità si rivela invece come una meraviglia [...] Parla a mezza voce e la sente solo chi vuole. E dice: Chiunque tu sia, i tuoi momenti non contengono nient'altro, ma sono dei miracoli." Per Thierry Metz "scrivere una poesia / è come essere soli / in una strada così stretta / che potresti / solo incrociare la tua ombra".

Codependency No More: How to Recover from Self-Love Deficit Disorder
When a therapist colleague and friend recently asked me to explain what Self-Love Deficit Disorder is and how to treat it, I panicked — although I love talking about my latest discoveries, especially my renaming of codependency to Self-Love Deficit Disorder. I paused to think of the best response.
Being fatigued from seeing six psychotherapy clients that day, I considered using the therapist's conversation maneuver of avoiding the subject by asking a similarly difficult question about a topic on which the client loves to talk. My second impulse was to skirt the question by explaining that the answers are best explained in my latest seminar video, the six-hour "Codependency Cure." These discoveries organically materialized in my life as a direct result of my need to heal emotional wounds and to tear down the emotional, personal, and relational barriers keeping me from experiencing self-love.
My third impulse, the best one, was to proudly and enthusiastically share my "children" with yet another person. Those who know me well understand how my Human Magnet Syndrome, Codependency Cure, and Self-Love Deficit theories and explanations are byproducts of my own family of origin issues (trauma), my rollercoaster journey to recover from it, and the joy of learning to live free from codependency. This is not just a set of theories I like to talk about, but a personal mission that I plan to be on for the rest of my life.
Although I wasn't excited about the prospect of talking shop at that moment, I tapped into a well of energy and enthusiasm that gave me the much-needed boost to give a condensed rendering of my latest work. But this time, I set a boundary: it would only be a 15-minute explanation! I figured since I had already given many radio interviews, written many articles, created training courses, and, of course, been a psychotherapist for 29 years, it would be a piece of cake.
18 Guiding Principles of Self-Love Deficit Disorder & The Human Magnet Syndrome
I did it with time to spare. Knowing that others might ask me the same question again or would benefit from a similarly condensed rendition of my conceptual and theoretical work, I decided to create a written version of this discussion. The following are my 18 guiding principles of Self-Love Deficit Disorder and The Human Magnet Syndrome.
"Codependency" is an outdated term that connotes weakness and emotional fragility, both of which are far from the truth. The replacement term, "Self-Love Deficit Disorder" or SLDD takes the stigma and misunderstanding out of codependency and places the focus on the core shame that perpetuates it. Inherent in the term itself is the recognition of the core problem of codependency, as well as the solution to it.
The absence of self-love results in deeply embedded insecurities that render a person powerless to set boundaries or control their narcissistic loved ones. The person with Self-Love Deficit Disorder, the SLD, is often oblivious or in denial about their dysfunctional relationships patterns with narcissists, as to admit to it would require them to face their core shame and pathological loneliness.
Pathological Narcissists (Pnarc) have one of three personality disorders or have an addiction: Borderline Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, or Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The Pnarc addict will cease their narcissistic ways if they do not have one of the above personality disorders and they remain sober (abstinent of their drug of choice) and active in their recovery program.
The SLD once was a child who was raised by a Pnarc parent who flew into fits of rage, anxiety, sadness, or depression if and when their immediate needs were not catered to or immediately met. This child emotionally survived by avoiding their narcissistic parent's anger (narcissistic injuries) by morphing into the "trophy," "pleasing," or "favorite" child that the Pnarc parent needed them to be. This child grew up learning that safety and conditional love were available to them if they buried their own needs for love, respect and caring while becoming invisible.
Similar to the child who would become a SLD adult, the Pnarc suffered the same fate of being raised by an abusive, neglectful, or depriving Pnarc parent. Unlike the future SLD child, this child would not or could not find a way to please his narcissistic parent or provide them with pseudo self-esteem, pride or vanity. Even worst, another sibling could have beat them to "trophy status," which would have rendered them useless to their narcissistic parent. Ultimately, this child was deprived from any form of conditional love, respect and caring from his Pnarc parent. He mostly likely grew up experiencing that the only love he would experience is that which came from him, at the expense of others.
The inherently dysfunctional SLDD/Pnarc "dance" requires two opposite but distinctly balanced partners: the pleaser/fixer (SLD) and the taker/controller (Pnarc). When the two come together in their relationship, their dance unfolds flawlessly: The narcissistic maintains the lead and the SLD follows. Their roles seem natural to them because they have actually been practicing them their whole lives; the SLD reflexively gives up their power and since the narcissist thrives on control and power, the dance is perfectly coordinated. No one gets their toes stepped on. SLD's dare not leave their dance partner, because their lack of self-esteem and self-respect makes them feel like they can do no better. Being alone is the equivalent of feeling lonely, and loneliness is too painful to bear.
Men and women always have been drawn into romantic relationships instinctively, not so much by what they see, feel or think, but more by an invisible and irresistible relationship force. "Chemistry," or the intuitive knowingness of perfect compatibility, is synonymous with the Human Magnet Syndrome. This is the attraction force that brings compatibly opposite, but exquisitely matched, lovers together: SLDs and Pnarcs. Like two sides of a magnet, the care-taking and sacrificing SLD and the selfish and entitled Pnarcs are powerfully drawn together, sometimes permanently.
SLDs repeatedly are attracted to or find themselves intractably in a relationship with a narcissist despite the lessons they keep willing themselves to learn. It is like they are addicted to riding rollercoasters, for which they remember the thrill and elation, but conveniently forget the terror and their subsequent promise to never do it again. Yet they keep getting back in line for another ride.
SLDs feel trapped in their relationships because they confuse sacrifice and selfless caring with commitment, loyalty and love. The SLD's distorted thinking and value system is fueled by an irrational fear of abandonment, loneliness and core shame.

Presidents: How Old Is Just To Damn Old?
Posted on July 11, 2019 July 11, 2019 by oldpoet56
I just finished reading a CNN article on the Democratic candidates for President and I would like to share some ideas with you. Being there are at least 23 people vying for this job within the Democratic Party I have chosen the top five candidates (what the polls say) to discuss with you today.
As I am sure that you have garnered from the title I am going to talk with you about the ages of these candidates. Simply put, in your opinion does age matter? Via the U.S. Constitution you must be at least 35 years of age to hold the Office yet there is no maximum age set.
The ages I am going to give you are the age these people would be on the day they would be sworn into Office on January 20th of 2021. It is just my personal opinion that if a person will reach their 72nd birthday during an term for any Office, they should be barred from being able to seek the Office. As I said earlier, these five folks are leading in the Democratic Presidential polls. I have added one person to the list as he just announced his candidacy yesterday. He is the California Billionaire who has been paying out of his own pocket for the commercials saying that President Trump needs to be impeached. His name is Tom Steyer.
Name: Day Born: Age as of January 21st of 2021:
Tom Steyer June 27, 1957 63
Bernie Sanders September 8, 1941 79
Joe Biden November 20, 1942 78
Kamala Harris October 20, 1964 56
Elizabeth Warren June 22, 1949 71
Pete Buttigieg January 19, 1982 39
I am only going to mention two other people who are on the Republican side.
Donald Trump June 14, 1946 74
Mike Pence June 7, 1959 61
I am a registered independent voter who personally does not like the Democratic nor the Republican Parties. I don't believe that either Party cares at all about the American people as a whole. But today's Republican Party of Donald Trump, Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell totally discuss me. So, in the next Presidential election cycle I would vote for a dead dog before I would vote for any Republican. Personally, of the candidates that I mentioned my top two choices would be Tom Steyer or Elizabeth Warren. If my 72 guideline were the law Mrs. Warren could not be on the ballot. But then neither could Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden or Donald Trump.
This article is just the thoughts and ideas of an old man. But personally I am sick and tired of these old fart career politicians with there way out of date ideas running/ruining our Country. The old folks whom many of them have been in office for 40-50 years need to be made to retire. Do you/we really want people running our Country who are in their 80's? I just don't, I am sick and tired of their partisan B.S..
These two people are not running for the office of President but they are the two leaders of the House and the Senate who pretty much tell all the members of their political party how to vote on every issue, every bill. First, Nancy Pelosi who was born on March 6th of 1940. She will be 80 when the next President takes Office. Then there is Mitch McConnell who is the top Republican in the Senate, he was born on February 20th of 1942. So, he will be 78 when the next President is sworn in and he has already stated just like Nancy Pelosi has that he is running for reelection. So, one more term for each of them and Mrs. Pelosi will be 82 and Mr. McConnell will be 84.
What is your thoughts on this issue? Do you even care about this issue, or maybe is it not even an issue at all to you? If you would, please leave me a comment, I thank you for your time, I appreciate you taking of your time to read this.

RIGHT-WING IVAN DUQUE WINS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN COLOMBIA
With 99.6% of the votes cast, in a second round of presidential election in which 47% of the electorate did not appear in the polls, the extreme right-wing Democratic Party candidate wins the presidential election in Colombia with 53.9% % of votes. Gustavo Petro, from center-left, obtained 41.8%

Listen to this contentAudima
247, with Resistance – Duke was supported by the creator and leader of his party, former President Alvaro Uribe. His election raises the concern of the democratic and progressive sectors of the country and of all of Latin America. Colombia will once again be governed by an oligarchic and pro-imperialist political force opposed to the peace agreements between the national government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
Duke relied on the support of the entire machine of the traditional parties, all the forces of the conservative establishment in his favor.
Democratic forces fear that the Duke government means control of all branches of government (Executive, Legislative and Judiciary) by a reactionary political group, Uribismo.
Petro's program advocates peace and national reconciliation, respect for human rights, the fight against corruption, care for the environment, health and education as universal rights and above all the fight against inequality
The country needs democratic and just peace to heal the wounds opened by a war that lasted more than 50 years, caused the death of more than 200 thousand people and the displacement of their homes and regions of origin of more than seven million Colombians.

The Answer To Why Trump Won't Except That Russia Messed With 2016 Election
Posted on February 14, 2018 by oldpoet56
Folks there is one main reason that President Trump refuses to accept that Russia messed with the Presidential election in 2016. This reason is simple, if he did except that his good buddy Vlad and his KGB (FSB) operatives did interfere with the election he, 'Mr. Trump', would have to concede that not only did Mr. Trump lose the popular vote but that he did also lost the Electoral College vote as well, meaning, he 'Mr. Trump' is not legally really our President. He would have to except that he is 'a loser'.
I know that I am not a genius, unlike Mr. Trump, who just can't admit that he is a dumb as a box of Donkey dung. Yet I, unlike Mr. Trump do have the ability to be honest with reality. Sometimes I am able to look at an issue with an open mind as to the concept of what is or would be logical. Concerning the 2016 elections, before they ever happened I looked at them and thought about how could a group of very smart hackers mess with the election results to get Mr. Trump elected or, to make sure that Hillary wasn't elected. My thoughts then and now were/are that if someone like Mr. Putin wanted to help make sure that Hillary whom he hates did not win the Presidency, how could he do it? How could you throw the election for a major underdog? To me the answer is and was simple, you attack the U.S. system through the States, not through a National computer system. Our Intelligence Agencies say that Russian hackers infiltrated the computer systems of 21 States in the last election. All that they had to do was flip the votes in a few of the States where they thought that Mr. Trump was going to be close, say 2, 3 or 4% points less than Hillary, which would be within the 'margin of error' and flip the vote totals.
Folks if Mr. Putin was able to help 'flip' just 3 or 4 of those States to Mr. Trump, he would have been able to win the Electoral College vote, giving the election to Mr. Trump. Now, simply what happened in that election? Mr. Trump pulled out a few States that he wasn't expected to win in very close vote totals, he won the Electoral College vote while losing the popular vote by about five million. I said before, during and after the election that this is how they would do it if they were able to infiltrate the system. All of our Nation's Security Agencies say that Russia did interfere. As I said, Mr. Trump can not say there was interference unless he admits that he indeed lost and that he is not our Nations legally elected President.
Now, if Mr. Trump was/is removed from Office, as he should be, what then, who would, should, be put into Office? For those of you who don't know me, I detest Hillary Clinton as much as I detest Donald Trump, I am not a Democrat nor a Republican, I am a non-partisan Independent. I looked at both Hillary and Donald as being as crooked as two human beings could possibly be, I still feel this way. During the last elections the way I was seeing it was the fact that Hillary is very intelligent and dog leg crooked and Donald was a total dumb-a–. So we the people were going to end up with a crook as President no matter what, it just depended on whether we wanted one that was worldly smart, or one that was a total idiot.
Now to be honest with you I don't know how things would be handled if Mr. Trump was evicted from Our White House, so here is just some guesses. Obviously something like this has never happened since we became a Country, so what would the Washington D.C. politicians decide, or would it, should it be decided by the Supreme Court? But to go through the Court Mr. Gorsuch would also have to be removed from the Bench thus leaving the Court with 8 members, pretty much 4 Republican and 4 Democrats. Mr. Pence would have to be removed with Mr. Trump because he was also not really elected to the Post of V.P.. So here is my guess, if the Supreme Court was not able to decide then I would guess that Congressman Paul Ryan would have to take the Podium, at least for a while. Do you let Mr. Ryan be President until new elections this November? At that time do you let Hillary become a one term 6 year President? Do you hold all new Presidential Elections in 2018 then again in 2020? Lots of questions friends, lots of questions. If we think that there is gridlock and bought and paid for politicians in D.C. now, what would it be like for the Country if this current 'Coward-in-Chief' is impeached and the current V.P. isn't allowed to ascend to the Presidency? Lots of questions friends, but what would the real and final answer be?

Officials struggle to convince Trump that Russia remains a threat
(THIS ARTICLE IS COURTESY OF CNN)
(IS TRUMPS HIDING HIS TAX ISSUES BECAUSE HE HIMSELF HAS BEEN THE TRAITOR IN CHIEF WITH PUTIN?)(TRS)
By Sara Murray and Dana Bash, CNN
Updated 5:56 PM ET, Wed June 28, 2017
Trump lashes out at Obama for failing to take a harder line against Russia
Trump administration has taken no public steps to punish Russia
Washington (CNN) As President Donald Trump lashes out at former President Barack Obama for failing to take a harder line against Russia for election meddling, Trump's own advisers are struggling to convince him that Russia still poses a threat, according to multiple senior administration officials.
"I just heard today for the first time that Obama knew about Russia a long time before the election, and he did
nothing about it," Trump told Fox News in an interview that aired Sunday. "To me — in other words — the question is, if he had the information, why didn't he do something about it? He should have done something about it."
But the Trump administration has taken no public steps to punish Russia for its interference in the 2016 election. Multiple senior administration officials said there are few signs the President is devoting his time or attention to the ongoing election-related cyber threat from Russia.
"I've seen no evidence of it," one senior administration official said when asked whether Trump was convening any meetings on Russian meddling in the election. The official said there is no paper trail — schedules, readouts or briefing documents — to indicate Trump has dedicated time to the issue.
Top intelligence officials have raised alarm about Russia's cyberattacks, calling them a "major threat" to the US election system. In public hearings on Capitol Hill and classified briefings behind closed doors, intelligence officials have drawn the same conclusions: Russia launched an unprecedented attack on America's electoral process during the 2016 presidential campaign and — barring a full-throated response from the US — the Russians are almost certain to do so again.
It's a warning some fear the White House isn't taking seriously.
House Russia investigators interview John Podesta
In a recent closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill, National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers expressed frustration to lawmakers about his inability to convince the President to accept US intelligence that Russia meddled in the election, according to a congressional source familiar with the meeting.
Another congressional source said Rogers has shared concerns with lawmakers about the lack of White House focus on the continued threat from Russian cyber efforts, particularly relating to US voting systems. In addition, the US intelligence community sees such potential threats not only from Russia but also from China, North Korea and Iran.
One intelligence official said the intelligence community continues to brief Trump on Russia's meddling in the election as new information comes to light. The source said the President appears no less engaged on issues surrounding Russian election meddling than on any other matters covered in the presidential daily brief. But the official acknowledged that Trump has vented his frustration with officials outside of the briefings about the amount of attention paid to the investigation into Russian election interference.
Former NATO ambassador: Trump, Obama should have done more to combat Russia hacking
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer insisted Trump is taking Russian cyberattacks seriously and said the administration is taking action — albeit quietly.
"The United States continues to combat on a regular basis malicious cyber activity, and will continue to do so without bragging to the media or defending itself against unfair media criticism," Spicer said in a statement.
Spicer noted that Trump has upheld the sanctions the Obama administration put in place against Russia, signed a cybersecurity executive order to consolidate responsibility for protecting the government from hackers and created an election commission. That commission has yet to convene in person but met via conference call on Wednesday.
But some in Trump's own party believe he hasn't done enough to repudiate Russia's actions and are pushing him to back a sanctions package Congress is considering.
"We haven't done anything," Sen. John McCain said Tuesday. "We passed a bill through the Senate, and it's hung up in the House. Tell me what we've done?"
Roger Stone agrees to meet with House intelligence committee
Asked what he wants the President to do, the Arizona Republican said he should tell the House "to take up the bill we passed through the Senate. Sign it, get it out there."
The CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment for this story. The NSA did not respond to requests for comment.
The President doesn't differentiate between investigations into Russian election meddling and investigations into potential collusion between Trump campaign associates and Russia, according to sources that have spoken to Trump about the issues.
The collusion probe is only one element of a larger landscape. The FBI's counterintelligence team has been trying to piece together exactly how Russia interfered in the election, in order to learn techniques and adapt for the future. This part is less about collusion and more about Russian cyberattacks against US political organizations and attempted hacks of voters' personal information.
Former US Ambassador to NATO Nicholas Burns, testifying in front of the Senate intelligence committee Wednesday, faulted Obama for failing to take action against Russia more quickly when he was president. But he unleashed his fury at Trump for doing so little to curtail Russian aggression.
"It is his duty, President Trump's, to be skeptical of Russia. It's his duty to investigate and defend our country against a cyber offensive because Russia is our most dangerous adversary in the world today," said Burns, a career foreign service officer who has served under presidents of both parties. "And if he continues to refuse to act it's a dereliction of the basic duty to defend the country."
Controversial Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak is leaving the US
At a Senate hearing last week, Bill Priestap, the assistant director of the FBI's counterintelligence division and a career civil servant, also highlighted the ongoing threat from Russia, saying, "I believe the Russians will absolutely continue to try to conduct influence operations in the US, which will include cyber intrusions."
But the President's muted interest in election interference stands in stark contrast to the collusion investigation, which has consumed his attention. Trump takes questions about Russia personally, sources said, because he sees them as an effort to undermine the legitimacy of his presidency.
"He thinks one equates with the other," one Republican congressional source said. "He can't admit anything that may taint his election. He is more hung up on how it affected the election outcome than what Russia did."
In his statement for this story, Spicer also referenced the election outcome, saying, "The ballot boxes were not hacked and the tallies were unaffected. Numerous authorities have confirmed this."
What Russia's bold attempt to influence the 2016 election says about US political polarization
Another source close to the President says Trump sees everything regarding Russia as being "organized as a challenge to him."
Trump aired those frustrations this week on Twitter, writing, "There is no collusion & no obstruction. I should be given apology!"
In Trump's mind "he had nothing to do with Russia," one source said. "He knows in his own mind there is not one single iota of anything that could implicate him."
One administration official suggested there wasn't necessarily a need for Trump to convene briefings on election interference — aside from his daily intelligence briefing — because little has changed since Trump was briefed on the matter in January, before his inauguration.
At that point, the 17 intelligence agencies released a declassified report concluding that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a campaign to influence the 2016 election with the goal of disparaging Hillary Clinton while boosting Trump and undermining the public's faith in the democratic process.
Since that briefing, there have been major developments on the cyber front. The final days of the French election featured a hack-and-leak attack targeting Emmanuel Macron, now the president of France. And US officials believe Russia hacked Qatari state-run media and planted a fake news story that which helped trigger a diplomatic crisis among critical US allies in the Gulf.
Trump's skepticism
During the campaign and since taking office, Trump has repeatedly questioned whether Russia was responsible for the election-related cyberattacks. He has blamed the Democratic National Committee, China and "someone sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds."
Trump has only once stated clearly and in public that Russia was behind the hacks — during a news conference as President-elect on January 11, just days after his briefing from top intelligence officials.
"As far as hacking, I think it was Russia. But I think we also get hacked by other countries and other people," Trump said.
On Monday, Spicer said the President stands by his assessment from January. The intelligence community has found no evidence that other countries also meddled in the election, an intelligence official said.
Trump demands apology, accuses Obama of having 'colluded or obstructed'
A source familiar with the President's thinking said he views Russia's action as something that "everybody has been doing to each other for years. Everybody spies," the source said. "He believes that intel operations hack each other."
The result: Trump sees the Russian hacking story as "nothing new." In fact, the source said, Trump views it as "the establishment intelligence community trying to frame a narrative that is startling to the average viewer, but he regards it as business as usual."
Intelligence experts disagree. They describe Russia's actions as far from the usual foreign espionage attempts.
John Hultquist, the director of intelligence analysis at FireEye, a cyber security and threat intelligence company, said Russia broke the rules in the "gentlemen's game of espionage" by stealing information, leaking it and using it to try to influence voters and undermine the democratic process.
"In every previous incident, we believed they wouldn't cross the next red line. They've shown us they're willing to do so," said Hultquist, who has a military background and is an expert in cyberespionage. "If we fail to respond with resolve they learn that they can get away with it."
First on CNN – Devin Nunes: I can 'take the investigation over' after stepping aside
The administration's inaction is raising alarm with experts like Clint Watts, a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and a counter-terrorism expert who recently testified in front of the Senate intelligence committee about Russia's efforts in the 2016 election.
"It's ridiculous that nothing's been done," Watts said. "There is no Russia policy. No one knows if they can work on Russia. No one knows what their assignment is with regards to Russia."
While Trump may have little concern about Russia's election aggression, other top officials in the administration have been vocal about the threat.
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said in May that Russian cyberattacks remain a "major threat" to the United States, especially after Russia showcased its aggressive posture by interfering in the 2016 election. But he acknowledged that the US still hasn't devised a clear strategy to counter the Kremlin.
"Relative to a grand strategy, I am not aware right now of any — I think we're still assessing the impact," Coats told the Senate intelligence committee in early May.
Later that month he reiterated his concerns in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Spicer: Trump was 'joking' when he asked Russia to hack Clinton
"I think we're learning that we do need to take this seriously — which we do," Coats said. "And shaping a policy and a plan to address this, I think, rises to a top priority."
But across the government, administration officials appear to be publicly confirming the concerns NSA Director Rogers expressed privately –Russia's attacks on American democracy aren't a top priority for Trump.
Former FBI Director James Comey, who was fired by Trump, testified earlier this month that during his nine private conversations with Trump, the President never asked about Russia's meddling in the election or what was being done to protect the country against future Russian interference.
"I don't recall a conversation like that," Comey told the Senate intelligence committee, shortly after his testimony describing a President who seemed much more interested in making sure that the public knew he wasn't personally under investigation as part of the Russia probe.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions testified that he had never received a briefing on Russia's election meddling efforts — even before he officially recused himself from the collusion investigation.
Working around the President
Obama retaliated against Russia's interference in the election in January with a package of sanctions that included ejecting 35 Russian diplomats from the US, closing two Russian compounds and sanctioning two Russian intelligence services.
While the Trump administration has upheld those measures, it has not taken additional steps.
But lawmakers have tried. The Senate passed a bill to slap Russia with new sanctions for its election interference and the legislation has moved to the House, which would also need to pass it before it goes to Trump's desk. But congressional sources said the Trump administration is hoping to water down the sanctions package, which the White House is eyeing warily.
"I think our main concern overall with sanctions is how they — how will the Congress craft them and any potential erosion of the executive branch's authority to implement them," Spicer said Friday.
There are also bipartisan efforts underway in Congress to develop a policy to prevent Russian meddling in future US elections.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, says he is working with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, on legislation to create a 9/11-style commission to explore what happened in 2016 on the cyber front.
How one typo helped let Russian hackers in
Graham tells CNN their idea is to create a commission made up of all experts — no politicians. "We want to look at the vulnerabilities on cyber security and get policy recommendations from experts on how to harden our infrastructure," said Graham.
Meanwhile, top US cybersecurity leaders are taking action on their own to prevent future meddling.
"This is one of our highest priorities," Jeanette Manfra, one of the Department of Homeland Security's top officials handling cyber issues and a career civil servant said at a Senate hearing last week. "And I would also note that we're not just looking ahead to 2018, as election officials remind me, routinely, that elections are conducted on a regular basis. And so — highest priority, sir."
Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said earlier this month that he would keep in place a decision to designate election systems as "critical infrastructure."
The designation means that the federal government will put more resources toward protecting election systems and voting machines. They'll get the same treatment as other "critical infrastructure" that is paramount to national security, like dams and the power grid.
Kelly's predecessor in the Obama administration, Jeh Johnson, made the change in January shortly before leaving office. Johnson testified last week that he wished he made the decision sooner — before the 2016 election — but that he backed down after resistance from the states.

This Is My Opinion How To Make U.S. Presidential Elections Much More Fair And Honest
Posted on November 23, 2016 by oldpoet56
Folks, I floated this idea by my wife on Election Night a couple of weeks ago and after giving it a lot of thought we decided that it sounds like a pretty good idea, now see what you think of it. When I was a kid and I first learned of the Electoral College I thought that it sounded like a horrible idea. Then after studying the history of the issue it really ticked me off. The Founding Fathers thought that 'We The People' were actually to stupid to elect our own Officials so they put in a 'cheat formula' sort of like the current day Democrats do with their 'Super Delegates'. The Democratic leadership has proven that they have no interest in letting the people, Democrats or otherwise to get to elect their party's nominee. In my honest opinion, this is why Donald Trump is the President-Elect today and not Bernie Sanders, it is the fault of the Elite who run the DNC. When I was a kid back in the 1960's I remembered studying to find if the people had ever voted one way just to have the Electoral College vote another person into the Presidency. I was only able to find one time where it had happened and it was back in the early 1800's, I remember thinking how irate the American people would be if this ever happened in these 'modern' times. I honestly thought that it never would, then the 2000 election came along and Al Gore beat George W. Bush by about half a million votes but the Supreme Court gave the election to Mr. Bush by one electoral vote. The people sat on their hands and did nothing. Now just 16 years later it has happened again. It looks like Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by over two-million votes but she got her butt kicked in the Electoral College vote. You know, when the Founding Fathers set up our political system maybe they were right, the American people do seem to be ignorant sheep. Remember though that when they put in the phrase 'All People Are Created Equal' they were only referring to 'White Male Landowners.' You know, our 'Founding Fathers' had some serious issues.
Okay, now I will get to the meat of this article which is the idea about how to make the Presidential Elections more fair. I don't like the Electoral system because I do not believe that it creates equality Nationwide. Yet if we only count the popular vote then Presidential hopefuls would only visit or care about the States with the biggest population centers, in fact they would only concern themselves with the biggest cities. Why would they bother wasting time and money on States like Wyoming, North or South Dakota or Alaska, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada or Utah? You can see where the current Democratic Party has been doing this in recent elections, this time, it cost them the White House. Here is my suggestion for your thoughts. So as to make the Presidential Elections much more equal and fair so that every State has equal representation like we all do with Federal Senators (2 each) no matter how big, small, or populated a State is, or not. Keep an Electoral College (sort of) but with this huge change, every State gets one vote. Whomever wins a State's popular vote gets that State's one vote. We have 50 States, if there is a tie of 25 each then and only then we look at the 'popular vote' to see who won the most votes Nationwide, then give the Election to the one who won the most total votes. If our political system ever gets to where we have more that the two big contenders let's say a viable third, fourth or fifth political party to where their Candidate's win States but no Candidate won at least the 25 States then one week later have another election with only the top two finishers on the ballot. I personally believe this system would be better than what some Countries do with their 'Coalition' Governments. That system is a train wreck because it causes too many elections and gives way to much power to a very small Party that happens to be part of the Ruling Coalition, they know that all they have to do is to threaten to leave the Coalition and they can bring down the whole Government. Okay folks, that's it, what do you think of this idea?

DNC's (Super Delegates) Are THE Reason That Mr. Trump Won The Election!!!
Here in Eastern Kentucky in the USA it is just past 2 AM on November 11, 2016, Veterans Day. As a registered Independent voter and as a Service Connected Disabled Veteran I am very disappointed in how my fellow countrymen and women are acting now that the Presidential election is over. Even though I did not vote for Mr. Trump for President (I voted for Gary Johnson) I do have to admit that I am glad that he won over the habitual lying War Hawk Hillary Clinton. As a person I do not believe that I would like either Mr. Trump or Hillary Clinton even though I actually applauded the day her husband took the oath of office and George H.W. Bush got on the plane and left Washington. As a former resident of the state of Arkansas I was well aware of the many flaws of the Clintons but I felt Bill Clinton was a better choice than any of the Bush boys. Kentucky is a very Republican leaning state so I knew that Mr. Trump was going to easily carry the state whether I voted for him or not. I just had a very difficult time with the concept of voting for either of the 'big two' and even though I am not a Libertarian being I knew Mr. Johnson wouldn't win, I voted for him. Otherwise I did vote for a straight Democratic ticket for the first time since 2000 when I lived in Florida and voted for Al Gore. I wrote this first paragraph for those of you whom do not know me so that you would know where I am coming from and so you would not mistakenly just take it for granted that I am a staunch Republican and or a fan of Mr. Trump.
In the state of Kentucky if you are a registered Independent voter you are not allowed to express your Constitutional right to vote, in any of the primaries, for or against anyone or against or for anything. If I and my family had been allowed our one person one vote we were all going to vote for Bernie Sanders, but we weren't allowed to thanks to the DNC. It is my personal belief that if the DNC were an honest group of people, there would be no such thing as (Super Delegates) as it is the obvious intent of the leadership of the Democratic Party for they themselves to say who is going to the the Democratic Nominee, not the democratic voters. I totally believe that if the people's choice had been allowed to win, it would have been Mr. Sanders, not the bought and paid for habitual liar Hillary Clinton. But, the multi-millionaires of the Democratic leadership had no intention of letting 'the people' decide. It is my total belief that if Mr. Sanders had been the Democratic Nominee that he would have easily beaten Mr. Trump this past Tuesday as there were many millions of people who voted for Mr. Trump because they loathed Mrs. Clinton. So, it is definitely my opinion and belief that all of these (Haters) that are protesting the results of the election should turn their wrath toward the very people that caused this outcome, and that is the DNC leadership itself. Before the next Presidential election people who say they are Democrats should insist that there no longer be such a thing as a (Super Delegate) within their Party anymore at all, ever again. As I said, they are the reason that Mr. Trump is the President Elect!!!

Just an average man who tries to do his best at being the kind of person the Bible tells us we are all suppose to be. Not perfect, never have been, don't expect anyone else to be perfect either. Always try to be very easy going type of a person if allowed to be.

Q: Cannot connect to ActiveMQ on Wildfly from Tomcat webapp I have ActiveMQ running within Wildfly 10. I can produce and consume messages from within a Wildfly Java EE application and a standalone Java application. But I cannot connect to ActiveMQ from a Tomcat application (which is what I need)
The ActiveMQ module within Wildfly standalone.xml looks as follows:
   <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:messaging-activemq:1.0">
        <server name="default">
            <security-setting name="#">

        </server>
    </subsystem>

The code to connect from within the Tomcat webapp looks as follows:
static final String PROVIDER_URL = "http-remoting://127.0.0.1:18080";
static final String CONNECTION_FACTORY = "jms/RemoteConnectionFactory";
static final String DESTINATION = "jms/topic/MjopTopic";

final Properties env = new Properties();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, PROVIDER_URL);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "jmsuser");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "v13wp01nt*");
env.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","org.jboss.ejb.client.naming");
Context namingContext = new InitialContext(env);

ConnectionFactory cf = (ConnectionFactory) namingContext.lookup(CONNECTION_FACTORY);
Topic topic = (Topic) namingContext.lookup(DESTINATION);
JMSContext context = cf.createContext("jmsuser", "v13wp01nt*");

JMSConsumer consumer = context.createSharedDurableConsumer(topic, "vp5");
consumer.setMessageListener(new VPMessageListener());

I get the next exception from line ConnectionFactory cf = (ConnectionFactory) namingContext.lookup(CONNECTION_FACTORY).

javax.naming.NamingException: Unable to invoke lookup, status=WAITING

Edit:
I've changed the maven dependencies in the webapp.
   <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.jms</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.jms-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.1</version>
