Weather chatter
Here's an up-to-the-minute look at road conditions atop Teton Pass, the 8400 foot western gateway to Jackson Hole. Brrr....
Meanwhile, the snowpack in the Upper Snake River is an eye-popping 169% of average! The SNOTEL we watch is called Grassy Lake. It's near the Reclamation Road between Ashton and Flagg Ranch just south of the Yellowstone NP boundary. As of this morning, there 105 inches of snow there and that huge pile of white stuff contains 46.5 inches of pure water. It appears we are getting the very first inkling of the onset of runoff season. Grassy Lake peaked out at 117 inches containing 49.5 inches of pure water a mere week ago so it is beginning to shrink. The Bureau of Reclamation has about finished drawing down Palisades Reservoir. It's at 10% of capacity this morning but releases continue at 14,000 cfs. The Snake through Idaho Falls is running 16440 this morning because there's 3258 cfs coming in from the Henry's Fork. The difference between the Palisades release added to the Henry's Fork is because of irrigation withdrawals.
All eyes are on teh weather. The BuRec says there's more snow sitting upstream than there was during the infamous 1997 runoff season. That's when the Snake through town here peaked at 48,000 cfs. That flow would have been the highest on record except the records are messed up by the bursting of the Teton Dam in 1976. That catastrophe caused the river here to flow perhaps 100,000 cfs. Nobody knows the real peak during that crises but it was epic, to say the least. Anything in the mid-20000 cfs range is generally considered to be within the top 10-percentile of river flows here.
What's on everyone's mind is the propensity of weather to change suddenly from one regime to its opposite. In other words, will it go from cool, damp to hot dry overnight? It's not uncommon for such a sudden reversal to occur. In fact, these days, it's almost the "new normal" rather than a flukey exception. The other fear is that a freak heavy rainstorm might park itself over the deepest part of the snowpack and unleash holy heck downstream. The BuRec walks a very fine line on Jackson Lake. If they guess correctly, they gain just enough water to refill that potato lake. if they guess wrong, one of two things happens: A) the lake finishes the runoff season underfilled and the potato growers are angry or B) they don't let out enough water and the dam is in danger of overtopping.
The truly nightmare scenario that remains unspoken is a total overtop of Jackson Lake Dam. It's an extremely remote possibility and that's one reason nobody mentions it. But it IS a possibility in years such as this. If a freak storm were to unleash the upper snowpack all at once, it's almost certain the dam would be overtopped. No one really knows what would happen in a circumstance such as this. Chances are the dam would not fail because it has been reconstructed to withstand anything short of Armageddon. However, the law of unintended consequences could kick in and that's a worrisome thought for those who watch snowpacks like this one.
Palisades is drawn down enough there's no real worry about a repeat of 1997 here in Idaho Falls. The chances of the snowpack getting totally out of control are very, very small. However, there's always the Wild Card in any equation and when a region as large as this one is sitting on as much snow as we have, it doesn't take much to tip the equation out of control.
Since it's safe to say runoff season began in the first week of May, we now have approximately 6-8 weeks before runoff season comes to an end, barring an "act of God" rainstorm. Typically, a normal runoff season will peak sometime in June, usually mid to late June and then begin to taper off until returning to mostly normal flows in early July.
This year, those 6-8 weeks loom large on the radar of those in the know. There's going to be a lot of nail-biting and hand-wringing going on during the weeks ahead--of that, you can be certain. Stay tightly tuned to this saga, folks, no matter how it turns out, it's going to be one for the history books. Today's BuRec teacup diagram is below.

Неофашизам је идеологија која се јавља након Другог свјетског рата, садржи битне елементе фашизма, те са њим чини континуитет.

Особине неофашизма могу се примјенити на скупине које изражавају одређено дивљење према лику и дјелу Бенита Мусолинија и Адолфа Хитлера или према било ком другом фашистичком вођи, фашистичкој држави или покрету. Неофашизам обично укључује ултра национализам, популизам, антиимиграцијску политику и/или понегдје политички нативизам, антикомунизам, те противљење парламентарном систему и либералној демократији. Означавање неке групе као неофашистичке може изазвати бурне реакције, поготово ако се то користи као политички епитет. Неки режими послије Другог свјетског рата описани су као неофашистички због своје ауторативне политике, али и понекад због своје фасцинације и симпатије према фашистичкој идеологији и ритуалима.

Постфашизам је појам који се примјењује на неколико европских политичких странака које заступају измјењени облик фашизма и који учествује у уставној политици.

Chi-mo-ka-ma: berättelser från norra Amerika är en kortroman av den svenske författaren Dan Andersson (1888–1920). Romanen utspelar sig i USA:s svenskbygder i Minnesota där Andersson själv vistades i åtta månader som fjortonåring 1902.

Andersson, som idag är mest känd för sin lyrik, skrev Chi-mo-ka-ma mellan slutet av 1916 och april 1917 när han var i ekonomisk kris. Han skickade romanen till Bonniers och bad om "någon liten summa". Bonniers erbjöd honom ett honorar på 300 kronor, vilket han accepterade. Ungefär en tredjedel av innehållet utgallrades dock på Bonniers begäran och publicerades under rubriken "Vildmarksliv: upplevelser på Canadiska gränsen" i Ny Tid under augusti och september 1917, efter det att Andersson ägnat sommaren åt korrekturläsning och redigering av manuskriptet.

Boken antogs, men gavs ut först 1920, ett par veckor efter Anderssons död.

Efter Bonniers utgåva 1920 har romanen även getts ut av Tiden 1922, Dalaförlaget 1975, Zinderman 1978 och Bakhåll 2002.

Chi-mo-ka-ma:s berättare, som förefaller vara i Anderssons egen ålder då han skrev boken, dvs runt 29, strövar i romanen omkring i Minnesotas vildmark. Han träffar olika original som indianen Röda Suggan, Stammering Frank, den vildsinte irländaren Pat Collie, lösdrivaren Frederick Blackbury, indiankvinnan Linnie, och svenskhataren gubben Harrot. Tjuvjakt, pälsaffärer, knivslagsmål, luffarliv och supande beskrivs ingående på en talspråkspräglad prosa, snabb och anekdotisk. Handlingen följer ingen rät linje, utan mynnar ofta ut i olika stickspår, vilket har uppfattats ge boken en spontan och modern prägel.

The Murder-Suicide Phenomenon Among Autism Caregivers Continues
The needless suffering continues as cases of autism are neither prevented, properly treated or sufficiently supported, and some caregivers turn to the worst possible choice to allieviate their struggle. Murder-suicide.
"He said Robert didn't know his own strength, and his mother was finding it increasingly difficult to take him outside. Watson, who is 5-foot-11 and weighs 240 pounds, said Robert was taller and outweighed him by about 30 pounds.
In early March, while riding with Angie in her pickup truck, Robert smashed his head through the rear window. He got worse in the following weeks. After another episode his mother took him to a hospital, where he was fed a steady stream of Ativan pills for two hours until he was sedated, the family said.
She and Robert were released, taking home about a month's supply of Ativan — several hundred pills, according to the family. Robinson told her family she realized after the incident at the hospital that "she had lost Robert" and couldn't care for him anymore.
Ron Watson said he and Angie Robinson went together to a Family Services office in late March, pleading for help. Robinson spoke with a social worker and asked for a long-term placement for Robert. According to the family, on or around April 2, she was informed a residential placement for Robert wasn't possible."

Great experience! Left happy with my teeth feeling great and refreshing. Have to come back for more work to be done, however I am happy that I have found a great dentist office that will take care of my initial needs. The workers were nice and helpful. Great staff!
AWESOME! The most friendly dental assistants ever had! Ms.Melissa, the office manager, is AMAZING! Both Ms. Melissa and Dr. Sreekanth pay very close attention to you insurance, and what is and isn't covered, so no unexpected co-pays when checking out or days later in the mail! The dental hygentist, Ms.Tameko was WONDERFUL! She was very educational on what my specific care plan and routine should be. I originally thought this was a chain dentist, they are INDEPENDENTLY OWNED...NOT A CHAIN OR FRANCHISE! Will definately be back. I highly recommend this place to everyone! Special thanks to Dr. Sreekanth and ALL the girls at Todays Dental!
Wonderful, caring and gentle staff! Very informative about dental procedures plans/ options. Thank you Today's Dental!!
My kid had a 10:00 appt. and it is now 10:30.they have called several people that came after me to the back. This is absurd.. Why schedule all these people at the same time and have people waiting in this small space. A waist of morning!!!!! Finally they called us back and now we have to wait another 10 mins.before we can be seen. So appt.was at 10:00 and we won't be seen until 10:50. Why not just have me come in at 11:00. I don't mind waiting but Not this long this is ridiculous!!!!
This office far exceeded my expectations. From the beginning to the end of my process I felt comfortable and aware of each step. From the front desk to the dentist chair I felt welcomed, relaxed and well taken care of. I have never had such a great experience in a dental office...well any medical environment as I had here. I will be back for sure and will recommend this office to anybody no matter how apprehensive you may be about going to the dentist. Look no further.

7. Can we claim the listings of a business that is still under construction?
No, it is best to wait until the business has a permanent address and phone number.
9. Does Listing Solution include updating the listing sites with rich data?
Listing Solution includes updating the business' name, address, phone number, hours of operation, and website.

4. Are the social tools relevant for mobile devices?
5. True or False: Changing the share buttons will make the pages lose the social shares?
Long answer: The counters from almost all social share buttons fetch the share count from the social networks themselves. Example: For the page www.socialtools.com, the counters are going to ask Facebook how many social interactions this link had on the platform. Then, it's going to repeat the process for all other networks and display the correct number.
As such, all social buttons should show a very similar number of shares.

Restoring the Culture of Life demonstrates how our society and healthcare have gone so far astray, how the culture of death has infiltrated healthcare, and how those in healthcare can actually justify killing patients as a service to "relieve suffering." Restoring the Culture of Life shows that the real solution for the victimization, exploitation and even the medical murder of patients is the restoration of the ethics that establish a just society and just practices within healthcare.
While some believe we can bring legal action to correct the evils within healthcare, it is clear that a society run by those who embrace the culture of death can never honor and respect the sanctity of life. We cannot appeal to government officials at any level, because they are behind the problems we see in healthcare. It is intentional. Only when each one of us chooses to live a life that honors life, only when each one of us possesses reverence for life, will a safe haven of true health care facilities be restored. This is a life-changing work that challenges the reader to open their heart and choose the culture of life.

Home News Breaking News Pelosi Calls on Sessions to Resign
Pelosi Calls on Sessions to Resign
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign after The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday evening that he spoke with the Russian ambassador during Donald Trump's campaign.
In a statement released late Wednesday, Pelosi said Sessions is "not fit to serve as the top law-enforcement officer of our country." Sessions, she said, "lied under oath during his confirmation hearing before the Senate. Under penalty of perjury, he told the Senate Judiciary Committee, 'I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians.' We now know that statement is false." The ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), also called on Sessions to resign, saying his statements to Congress about his Russia communications were "demonstrably false."
The Washington Post reported earlier Wednesday that Sessions had spoken to Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak twice last year while serving as Trump's surrogate. In a statement late Wednesday night, Sessions said "I have never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign. I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false."

And I call on Pelosi to resign.
This senile machasheifah needs to be ignored. She is, in fact, powerless in the current congress, and only makes a fool of herself with her ridiculous statements.
Bush is no longer President March 2, 2017 at 12:20 pm
What Mrs. Plastic and her black friend, Cummings, have to say is laughable. When their corrupt race baiting hero with American blood on his hands, Eric Witholder, broke the law and was impeached by Congress, they not only let him off the hook, they circled the wagons for him and destroyed anyone who tried to suggest he resign.
I can't believe they let Flynn resign especially with these people will keep on blaming every one for their own deficiencies, and now they want Sessions to resign I keep on wondering how much the Republicans will keep on dancing to the others stupidity as the people are okay'd for the cabinet, for they will keep on finding something they will have to resign about. When will they just tell them to just stuff it and go on and not play the game. It is only a game that is how angry they are that Clinton did not win.

As an authorized representative of Bulstrad Vienna Insurance Group ZAD and ZK Balgarski Imoti AD, VIG Services Bulgaria EOOD has the right, by virtue of its contractual relations, to represent in the country all foreign insurers which are in contractual relations with the above-mentioned two companies. In such cases, the compensation shall be paid by the above two companies, which shall thereafter file a claim for reimbursement of the sums from the foreign insurer.


The facts I have been able to determine about Richard Henry Drummond do not include anything about his birth date or age. I suspect he has passed on, but until I can determine that, I will write as if he is still on this earth.
Richard Henry Drummond is an ordained Presbyterian minister and former professor of religion at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary.
He spent many years as a missionary in Japan with the Presbyterian Church and is a student of religions.
He earned a BA and MA from the University of California, a BD from Gettysburg Theological Seminary, and a PhD from the University of Wisconsin.
We know that he was a student of the Edgar Cayce readings, at least those concerning the life of Jesus as he wrote two books on the subject.
I found a review of this book by a Japanese reader who appreciated that this book was written by a Christian theologian who has witnessed and studied Buddhism in Japan for many years as a missionary. The reader found Drummond's understood both religions to a high degree and was able to do a beneficial comparative study.
Amazon Synopsis: More than a billion people consider themselves Muslim. It is the world's second-largest religion. Yet Western portrayals of the Islamic mind are often flawed. Islam for the Western Mind is an intensive look--from a Christian perspective--at what inspires and motivates Muslims, namely Muhammad and the teaching of the Koran.
Dr. Drummond, an ordained Presbyterian minister and former professor, presents a balanced look at the life and teaching of Islam's founding Prophet, paying detailed attention to the religious and political community that existed during Muhammad's time as well as after his death.
Dr. Drummond also looks at the larger cultural impact of Islam, examining what he calls the lightning-like spread of the new religion across much of the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe, and examines Muhammad's teaching about women, pagans, and Jesus, the Messiah, Son of Mary. He gives detailed attention to the ethical teaching of the Koran. All this is with primary emphasis upon God as Lord of the Worlds, yet merciful and compassionate, and upon prophecy as divine revelation.
Islam for the Western Mind is an essential text for anyone wanting an unbiased look at Muhammad, the Koran, and the religion they inspired.
Amazon Synopsis: Drummond, a professor of religion at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, offers theological interpretation of the birth, preparation, and ministry of Jesus, His resurrection and ascension, His abiding presence, and the Second Coming.

LOS ANGELES - Earlier this year, a film by a 26-year-old Vietnamese-American, Tony Bui, took the independent film world by storm. His feature, Three Seasons, won the top award, the Grand Jury Prize, at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. It was a surprising choice. Sundance is known for its tough, edgy tastes, but Bui's film is a lyrical, if bittersweet, look at modern Vietnamese life, told through four stories that have the romanticized quality of fables. Also surprising was the fact that the film received the audience award as well--thus, it won over both critics and audiences. Certainly, Three Seasons gives us a completely fresh take on a country so tragically riven by war: It portrays a society in which individuals search not only for economic survival, but also for love, connections, and grace. For them the war is a faint, diminishing echo, heard far more loudly by Americans than Vietnamese.
"The entire country is about moving forward and progressing," Bui says, "and I think they're more at peace with the past conflict than we are, we Americans. We still have a lot of guilt about it, a lot of frustrations." Born in Vietnam, Bui went to the United States with his family when he was two. Growing up in Sunnyvale, California, he was encouraged by his mother to go back to his native land. His first visit was not a success: He was 19 and couldn't stand it--the heat, the congestion, the pollution. But then he went back again, and again, and began to discover his roots. As a student studying film at Loyola Marymount University, Bui's sojourns in Vietnam were eked out on a shoestring budget. He stayed in private homes and spent a lot of time "hanging around on the streets," talking with cyclo (trishaw) drivers and watching poor people trying to make ends meet. He also began to form the ideas that would eventually become his films.
In 1995 he completed a short film called Yellow Lotus, starring his uncle Don Duong, a well-known actor in Vietnam who also features in his current film. Bui calls Yellow Lotus "an earlier incarnation of Three Seasons--a peasant comes to the city, a man trying to find his place amid this change." The earlier film was shown at the Telluride and Sundance Film Festivals and won several awards. In 1996 he was accepted into Sundance's Writer's and Director's Labs, and the result was the script for Three Seasons. Its $2 million production cost was funded by Good Machine, a New York production company that has backed some of Taiwanese director Ang Lee's films.
The film's title comes from the idea that south Vietnam, where the film was shot, has two seasons, the dry and the wet. For Bui, the third season is the one of growth-- "the season of hope, the season of life and poetry and music." Each story within the film is set in a different season: The story of the cyclo driver is set in the hot, dry season and is full of the warmth of yellows and oranges; the little boy vendor is set in the wet season of blues and greys; and the growth season is the backdrop for the story of Teacher Dao and the young woman who becomes his temporary confidante. The story of James Hager, the ex-GI, takes place across the time-frame of the others.
From the start Bui insisted that the film be made in Vietnamese and in Vietnam--a tough battle due to the traditional prejudice American audiences have against foreign-language films, as well as the logistical complications of shooting in Vietnam. But Bui, backed by his producers, got his way. Three Seasons was thus the first American film to be made in Vietnam since the fall of Saigon in 1975. When he took his American crew there for filming, some were fearful of possible resentment and reprisals. After all, didn't the Vietnamese hate the Americans for the years of fighting, for bombing their country?
But that was one problem that didn't materialize, Bui says. "They're so past that--they had 1,000 years of war. Before the Americans they fought so many people, after the Americans they fought people--the Chinese, the Cambodians." With his fresh, open face and small ponytail, Bui is the very picture of Californian health. He talks quickly, his words slurring over each other as if his thoughts cannot get out fast enough. "The American conflict was one war in their lives, and they've moved on."
He did run into numerous other difficulties, though. The Ministry of Culture had to approve the script, and Bui had innumerable meetings over it--as well as being obliged to show the rough cuts of each day's shooting to officials. "They're very respectful and kind, but they're tough, to the point they read way too much into everything," Bui recalls. "I understood where they were coming from--ultimately they want a film to portray the country in a decent way." In 1995 the authorities had been infuriated by the release of French-Vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung's Cyclo, which turned out to be extremely violent, and they wanted to avoid a repeat.
Not surprisingly, Bui's desire to detail the extreme poverty and the prostitution in Ho Chi Minh City was a source of conflict. Fortunately, he points out, "they didn't mind my making a film about the lowest level of society as long as it was moving towards something that was a redemption, some sort of peace, some sort of life. They don't mind so much the darkness as long as it's balanced out by the light."
The characters in Three Seasons are composites of people Bui has met over the years. "These were the people I knew, they were my friends," he says. As seen through the film, they are rather poignant individuals striving for a better life with whatever modest means at hand--whether it's peddling a flashlight, a cyclo ride, or their bodies. Critic Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called this "a movie for any and all seasons, [which] gazes with a sense of beauty and compassion at hard realities without glossing them over."
Bui's focus on the downtrodden and the indigent was deliberate. "I wanted to make a film about those most affected [by change]," the director says. "I wanted to give them a voice. The things they were telling me were so interesting, so different from the way I perceived it growing up in America." Some critics have found Three Seasons overly pretty and sentimentalized, but for Bui, Vietnam is a country of hope.
Since much of film-making is done in a cocoon, opening at Sundance was "very scary and very gratifying," he says. Scary because hardly anyone had seen it before, gratifying because it received a standing ovation. "As the week went by, there was so much buzz about the film that I knew I was accomplishing one of the important parts of the process for me," Bui says, "which was to make a film about some people's lives and to capture the spirit in a way that would be universal." Bui had lived up to what Geoffrey Gilmore, a Sundance official, wrote about the film for the festival catalogue: "With sweeping directorial vision and a powerful poetic narrative, Tony Bui has created an enormously impressive feature debut about the 'new' Vietnam."
This spring the film opened in the United States to equally laudatory reviews. It also drew $2 million at the box office, considered exemplary for a foreign-language film. It is slated to open later this year in Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and other Asian countries. Bui is now dodging the temptations of lucrative Hollywood offers which poured in after his Sundance success. He continues to focus on personal projects--producing a film about a Vietnamese refugee camp in the U.S. is one, directing a film about a dying man's search for meaning is another.
"There are definitely stories in my mind which will require a bigger budget," he says, "but right now I want that creative freedom to do what I really want to do. Later maybe I'll get that creative freedom on a larger project after proving myself through a body of work."
Far Eastern Economic Review - August 12, 1999.


Reports are all over the place……lots of confusion…..which is what we told we would see at the end. The amount of news we are getting is encouraging……it was very quiet then suddenly it's like a dam breaking…….
I am trying to get it all together to know where we are.
So many rumors about zim and Farm claims……trying to find the truth today…..
The news from Iraq is crazy good……they are talking up a storm….I am still hearing they expect a new rate on Saturday.
On the Iran side…..I have heard they are getting Iran ready to RV at the same time as the others….. This is from my contacts in the ME.. I have a contractor friend over there..I would look at Franks site today…there will be lots of news out of Iraq.
I have many calls scheduled this afternoon for updates. I will be digging hard.
I feel we are in an any minute…imminant…..….sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for this to happen….these are every phrase I hate….but right now they are true.
Member: : Mark, if they always kick it 2-3 days, why do think they'll make the 31st?
Q: MARK, WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BANK TELLS YOU THAT YOUR NOTES OR CURRENCY IS NOT VALID OR REAL????????
Member: I have a very good source that told me that they will use the Fraud detector right in front of you. So, no taking it out your sight and then telling you your's is fake!
Q: What day do you think cmkxers will recieve their package?
Q: Anything on our gold backed currency?
Q: what made you decide to start posting again Mark?
MZ: it was suggested from someone who is a trigger puller….that I become more public in order to pass on info if they needed me too and because of all the misinformation out there. And I was watching too many friends and people giving up…..and selling their currency…..so I came back out of hiding…so to speak.
Q: Marz…I always thought we would be exchanging our IQD right before the announced Public RV. Is that true?
MZ: I always thought that was true…….
Member: THINGS STARTING to UNRAVEL ??? Shares of Deutsche Bank slipped nearly 4 percent, while Commerzbank slipped more than 2 percent. The report published Thursday, citing people familiar with the talks, said executives from Deutsche Bank have been looking at a plan to raise equity of between 3 billion euros and 10 billion euros. No mention about DERIVATIVES which is the BIG Elephant in the room!
MZ: Its been a number of things from security to Brexit to Iraq, to Venezuela to refiguring Irans sanctions, …. It has not just been one thing causing delays….. It's never going to be perfect but they have to do this before it crashes…..this next crash would make 2008 look like nothing…it would make 1929 look like nothing…..their back is against the wall to get this done ASAP before the big crash……they need to get the new currency out ASAP. I feel that the Gold backed currency will be out before the crash.
MZ: I expect it in the first quarter of 2019…He has made no secret of when he wanted this done…….here is an article I have posted before…but it's nice to see it in print in the MSM. Its nice to read something that makes you know we are not nuts.
MZ: lots of articles coming out now and I really feel a lot of it is misinformation…a big dis-information campaign imo….….lots of articles are backdated…..I am not a bit worried about this being pushed to 2022…..maybe a few smaller countries who are not ready yet but it will not affect the rest of us.
Q: does Basel 3 mean gold-backed?
MZ yes the Basel 3 complience means 20 % of your currency is backed by gold. I would look for all kinds of movement there….


Forget the ITT on Saturday. Friday's Stage 19 is where everything goes on the line for the 2018 Tour de France title.
Assuming the main GC protagonists all survive tonight's relatively flat and innocuous Stage 18 to Pau (not always a given of course!), Tom Dumoulin has no choice but to attack, and then attack again, and then again. Fortunately for the lanky Dutchman so does Lotto NL-Jumbo's Primoz Roglic, currently 4th overall, who will again be ably supported by another Dutchman who's at home in the high mountains, Steven Kruijswikj. Then there's the resurgent Nairo Quintana, 5th overall, and inspiringly feisty Dan Martin, neither of whom will die wondering in pursuit of their second stage win at this year's race.
Both Dumoulin and Roglic can time trial superbly (gold and silver at the 2017 World Championships) but they must get closer to Thomas than they are right now. How close? Well it's worth remembering Dumoulin put 1'22" into the third-placed Froome at last year's World Championships over an identical time trial distance, 31km. Roglic also finished 30" ahead of Froome in second place.
The wildcard on Friday's stage will, inevitably, be Froome. Convention says the Team Sky super (duper) domestique will be charged with marking moves for his Welsh team-mate and nothing more. But should Thomas show even the slightest hint of weakness at any point of Stage 19 en route to Laruns via the Tourmalet and Aubsique, just watch the reigning champion fly!
Following constant abuse from fans, not to mention pepper spray and crash tackling from the French police, Froome will no doubt be hugely motivated to put on an encore performance of what he did at exactly the same stage of this year's Giro – if he's given the chance to do so. Froome knows this and so does Thomas which places enormous pressure on Thomas to keep doing what he's been doing. He's looked awesome so far, no question, and if it continues the yellow jersey will be his in Paris. But if he finally cracks, even just a little, and Dumoulin and/or Roglic can get within a minute before the ITT, it's game on. Big time. Who knows, we could even be in for a four-way ITT shootout on Saturday night.
This has been one of the most fascinating (and, yes, at times shambolic) Tours for some years with constant twists and turns, plots and subplots. Who's to say there won't be a few more?

Фридрих Казимир Медикус ( или ; ) — немецкий ботаник и врач, директор ботанического сада в Мангейме.

Биография
Фридрих Казимир Медикус родился 6 января 1736 года в немецкой коммуне Грумбах (Глан), расположенной на земле Рейнланд-Пфальц.

Учился он в Тюбингене, Страсбурге и Хайдельберге. Работал врачом в Мангейме. В 1761 году Фридрих Казимир Медикус был назначен членом Баварской академии наук в Мюнхене. В 1762 году он стал членом Императорской академии натуралистов в Вене, а в 1763 году — членом Императорской академии наук в Мангейме. В 1766 году Медикус участвовал в создании ботанического сада. Он стал директором ботанического сада в Мангейме. В 1769 году Фридрих Казимир Медикус стал почётным членом физико-экономического общества в Кайзерслаутерне, а годом позже его директором. Он внёс значительный вклад в ботанику, описав множество видов семенных растений.

Медикус активно участвовал в спорах вокруг половой системы классификации растений, предложенной Карлом Линнеем. По мнению австрийского историка науки Йозефа Шультеса, Медикус был наиболее основательным и, одновременно, наиболее грубым врагом Линнея. Работая над созданием собственной системы классификации растений, в которой одновременно были признаки и искусственной (как у Линнея), и естественной систем, Медикус, по мнению Шультеса, каждую возможность улучшить Линнея использовал для его порицания.

Фридрих Казимир Медикус специализировался на семенных растениях. Он опубликовал множество произведений по ботанике, садоводству, лесному хозяйству и медицине.

Фридрих Казимир Медикус умер 15 июля 1808 года.

Ghost in the Shell 2 to be dubbed for UK release
Filed under: News — drakh @ 12:24 pm
While Dreamworks chose to put out Ghost in the Shell II: Innocence subtitled only in the US, Manga Entertainment Ltd. announced at the London MCM Expo that they have acquired the UK license and are teaming up with Australian Madman Entertainment to produce a dub for their release, using the cast from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex if possible.
Additionally, Manga announced the UK license of Satoshi Kon's Millennium Actress, another US release without a dub. Hopefully they'll consider giving it the same treatment.

1. He's a homemade tattoo enthusiast.
2. He DJs Morrissey Night every Sunday at Sway.
3. He dropped out of Parsons and started his own line at 21.
4. He still hand sews everything in his apartment.
Though I can't see many people wearing these shorts, that doesn't make me love them any less. They're instantly recognizable and would be perfect for a clubbing costume, what with their oversized buttons, piping and bizarre volume.
Zippers as embellishments were a huge part of his SS 07 collection, giving otherwise classic sheath dresses a rough twist.
I saw a picture of Cho wearing this zippered cut out heart shirt and it was, inarguably, one of the cutest things I've ever seen a boy wear. This skirt reminds me of a birdcage somehow, a beautiful, weirdly proportioned birdcage that happens to look great over a dress.
Everyone lost their minds when Commes des Garcons incorporated creepy fake hands into their FW 07 collection, but guess what? They weren't the only ones.
When I was little I had a tiny blue plastic dog with a red heart shaped rhinestone on its belly. I think Benjamin Cho may have had the same toy, because he's obsessed with stylized hearts, incorporating them into both his SS and FW collections.
Why don't more people use these?! Cho is gaining a reputation for his use of oversized buttons, and while they're gimmicky and have been done in the past, they're just so damn FUN!

Intel CEO Resigns After Probe Into Relationship With Employee
Home › All › Intel CEO Resigns After Probe Into Relationship With Employee
Intel Corp Chief Executive Brian Krzanich resigned on Thursday after a probe found his consensual relationship with an employee violated company policy.
The head of the largest U.S. chipmaker is the latest in a line of powerful men in business and politics to lose their jobs or resign over relationships viewed as inappropriate, a phenomenon highlighted by the #MeToo movement.
"An ongoing investigation by internal and external counsel has confirmed a violation of Intel's non-fraternization policy, which applies to all managers," Intel said in a statement.
The board named Chief Financial Officer Robert Swan as interim CEO and said it has begun a search for a permanent CEO, including both internal and external candidates.
Intel declined to give any further information about the probe. Intel shares fell 1.5 percent in early trade.
Wall Street took Krzanich's unexpected departure in stride.
"Although we respect Krzanich's efforts in redirecting Intel's strategy from a computer-centric to a data-centric company, we view Intel as a process-driven company with a deep bench of CEO candidates that can continue to drive the corporate strategy," said Kevin Cassidy, an analyst at Stifel.
Krzanich, 58, was appointed Intel CEO in May 2013, and was in charge of moving the company's focus to growing data centers from personal computers. Intel shares more than doubled during his tenure.
He was recently credited with containing the fallout from the disclosure of some security flaws in the company's chips that could allow hackers to steal data from computers, although his sale of some Intel stock before the flaws were disclosed to investors attracted some criticism.
"There are no new payments as part of his departure," a source familiar with the company told Reuters.
Temporary replacement Swan has been Intel's CFO since October 2016 and previously spent nine years as CFO of eBay Inc.
Intel on Thursday raised its second-quarter revenue and profit forecast, saying it expects quarterly revenue of about $16.9 billion and adjusted profit of about 99 cents per share, up from a previous forecast of $16.3 billion in revenue and adjusted earnings per share of 85 cents.
Analysts on average were expecting revenue of $16.29 billion and adjusted profit of 85 cents per share.

Priyanka Gandhi urges PM not to share stage with MoS Home Ajay Mishra during DGPs" conference
| Saturday | 20th November, 2021
Lucknow, Nov 20 (PTI) A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the repeal of the farm laws, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday urged him not to share the stage with Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra during the DGPs conference here keeping in mind farmers" interest.She also sought the removal of Mishra from his post over the Lakhimpur Kheri violence in which his son is an accused.Priyanka Gandhi made the appeal to the prime minister through a letter that she read out in front of reporters hours before the commencement of the DGPs conference."Yesterday, while addressing the countrymen, you had said that with true mind and pious heart and keeping in mind the interests of the farmers, an unprecedented decision to repeal the farm laws was taken. If this is true, then getting justice delivered to the families affected by the Lakhimpur Kheri violence should be your top priority," the Congress general secretary said."But, Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra "Teni" still remains a member of your council of ministers. If you share the stage in the (DGPs) conference with the father of the accused (Ashish Mishra), then a clear message will go to the aggrieved families that you are still with those persons, who are giving patronage to the murderers".She further said, "If today, your intention is really clear about the farmers of the country, then you should not share the stage with the Union Minister of State for Home, and remove him." The AICC general secretary also urged that cases registered against the farmers in the country for staging protests against the agri laws be withdrawn and financial assistance be given to the families of all those who died during the agitation."You are the prime minister and you must be understanding well the responsibility towards the farmers of the country. Ensuring justice towards every citizen is not only the duty but also the moral responsibility of the prime minister," she said in the letter written in Hindi.Referring to Ashish Mishra, the son of Union minister Ajay Mishra, the Congress leader said, "The entire country has been witness to the cruelty that has been meted out to the "annadatas" (food providers) in Lakhimpur Kheri. You know that the son of the Union minister of state for Home is the main accused in running a vehicle over the farmers."Owing to political pressure, the Uttar Pradesh government has from the beginning tried to stifle the voice of justice. The Supreme Court has said that it seems the government is trying to save a special accused person," she said.Violence had erupted in Lakhimpur Kheri on October 3 when farmers were protesting the visit of Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya"s visit to Mishra"s place. Four agitating farmers were run over by a vehicle while four others, including a journalist, two BJP workers were also killed in the violence that ensued. Priyanka Gandhi also said that she had met the family members of the deceased farmers, and they are in tremendous pain."All the families want justice and with the Union minister of state for Home being in office, they do not have any hope of getting justice. The current situation of the probe in the Lakhimpur violence case proves that the apprehension of the families is correct. Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath have shared the stage with him (Ajay Mishra)," she said. PTI NAV SNS NSD NSD

Equipment, in Iraq for years running, prepared for turn-in by "Griffin" Battalion Soldiers
AUSA Staff
Story by 1st Lt. Billy Murphy, 2nd AAB, 1st Inf. Div., USD-C BAGHDAD—Soldiers with Company B, "Griffin" Special Troops Battalion, 2nd Advise and Assist Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, United States Division – Center conducted a thorough cleaning of their assigned theater-provided equipment July 28 at Camp Liberty, Iraq in preparation for turn in.The end of the mission for the remaining American Soldiers in Iraq also marks the end of mission for some of the greatest workhorses of the conflict—the TPE that has been handed down from unit to unit since their arrival to the country in 2003. With the 2nd AAB currently scheduled to be one of the final U.S. units in Iraq, all the accumulated gear must be dealt with.TPE has stayed in the country, even as units have come and gone. Typically, an outgoing unit transferred the equipment over to the incoming unit that replaced it. In Baghdad, this cycle comes close to ending with the Dagger Brigade, and the equipment must be cleaned, inventoried and turned in for a long-overdue refurbishment. "We have a ten-kilowatt generator that has been running 24 hours a day for the past nine months and it is very reliable," said 1st Lt. Christopher Hoff, a platoon leader with Company B, "Griffin" Special Troops Battalion, 2nd AAB, 1st Inf. Div., USD-C and a Bradenton, Fla., native. "When you think that this generator has been in country since 2003 running pretty much constantly, for eight years, it is very impressive."Years of constant service does not come without a price, however. Some of the TPE is broken, has seen too much wear and tear to be useful, or has been replaced by newer equipment brought over by units. These broken and obsolete pieces of equipment are the first to be turned in, as they no longer contribute to the mission. That which is still fully mission-capable must still be turned in, but the process is a little more involved.The amount of dust, dirt, and caked-on oil that can accumulate over the years can be significant, and must be cleaned for the equipment to be accepted for turn in."To meet the standard, it takes about six hours to thoroughly clean a generator and twelve or more hours to clean a vehicle," said Staff Sgt. Brian Beachy, a nodal network systems operator and maintainer with Company B, STB and a San Antonio native.One of the final steps in the turn-in process is a joint inventory and inspection conducted between Army civilian contractors and the unit itself. Once the equipment has passed the inspection, it is signed over to the civilian contractors and out of the unit's hands. The equipment is then either be sent back to the U.S. for refurbishment, or—if it is fully mission capable—to another conflict zone, such as Afghanistan, where it will continue serving American forces reliably.

An iceberg the size of Manhattan that broke off of Greenland's massive Jakobshavn Glacier into the sea has been spotted by one of the European Space Agency's Sentinel satellites. We discuss how climate change is contributing to the rapidly rising Arctic temperatures and further destabilizing the ice sheet covering Greenland on the Lip News with Mark Sovel and Elliot Hill.
Cold Rush? The Changing Arctic
The Arctic is warming faster than any other place on Earth. This affects weather and increases coastal erosion threatening many Alaskan communities. But with melting sea ice come new opportunities for shipping and development. Will the oil, gas and mineral rich Arctic lead to a rush for development? Might this lead to conflict and to serious consequences for the environment? Earth Focus looks at the changing face of the Arctic today.
Mosaic: The China Dream
https://www.linktv.org/shows/mosaic
In 2012 General Secretary of China Xi Jinping announced what would become the hallmark of his administration: The China Dream.
This episode of "Mosaic" begins with a TV news clips of Xi, describing the dream as the "national rejuvenation," improvement of people's livelihoods, prosperity, construction of a better society, and a strengthened military. He specifically addresses the young people, "dare to dream, work assiduously to fulfill the dreams and contribute to the revitalization of the nation."
Further, he calls upon all levels of the Party and the government to facilitate favorable conditions for their career development. Xi told young people to "cherish the glorious youth, strive with pioneer spirit and contribute their wisdom and energy to the realization of the Chinese dream." Our host shares with what the China Dream is in political terms, providing data and stats as to the economic and political goals of the China Dream plan.
But what does it mean, how does this dream play out in real life, at all levels of society, and particularly to China's youth? And, why now? How is this dream connected to economic achievement in the country?
Through the selected collection of stories, we attempt to address these questions and ideas and provide a glimpse into a wide swathe of social strata, from the bottom of society to the very top.
China: Religion and Environment
Can religion save China's environment? Filmmakers Gary Marcuse and Shi Lihong capture a surprising trend in China in their new film Searching for Sacred Mountain. China is beginning to draw on its religious heritage — including Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism and other traditions to address the country's growing environmental challenges. The film profiles the Tibetan monastery at Baiyu in the Nianbaoyuze mountain range, a sacred and nationally protected park – which epitomizes the intersections between religion and environment and China. An abridged version of the film with commentary by filmmaker Gary Marcuse. Produced in collaboration with the Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting, Face to Face Media and Wild China Film.

Righteous Kill
"Righteous!"
That was an expression back in the Welcome Back, Kotter era, which is exactly when we used to go see movies starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. Ah, Bobby and Al, they're the Tracy and Hepburn of the time before our time.
Set your crime machine to 1979! "You talkin' to me?! And without your teeth in?!"
Shock of shocks – they are cops! What kind of imaginative, out-of-the-box, against-type casting is this?! And – hold on to your seat – they're New York City cops! Holy "Michael Keaton as Batman"! De Niro will take you down to Chinatown as long as you don't mind riding shotgun in a mobility scooter.
It's De Niro and Pacino as "Turk and Rooster," a.k.a. "Tango and Cash" without much tango and even less cash. Coincidentally, both "Turk" and "Rooster" bring to mind turkeys, as does the flap of extra skin under the jowl which cracks like a whip when these guys turn their heads.
"If any perp gets behind the wheel, he's in for a high speed shuffle," warned Pacino, his excess chin wagging in the wind.
These boys have been playing cops so long their badges are carved out of stone. They're part of the elite Codger Squad of the NYPD, helmed by Brian Dennehy, who, at age 70, has risen to the exalted rank of Lieutenant. "I've been earning stripes since they were made of bear skin," said Dennehy.
The budget for this flick was $60 million, which is a lot considering it has been made five times a week for thirty years on TV for under a million. "Don't worry, we'll be profitable," said director John Avnet, "I'm buying 2o million DVD's myself."
Look out Bobby and Al, you are co-starring with a member in good standing of New Kids on the Block, Mr. Donnie Wahlberg. Please tell me there's some kind of crime involved in being a boy band of 40-year-olds!
And then there's the scene I will have nightmares about forever: Robert De Niro is having sex with Carla Gugino.
The mental picture makes the real one extraneous, doesn't it? It's like witnessing a traffic accident where an Edsel keeps slamming into a shiny red Corvette. Honestly, I would sooner believe that Will Smith is the last man on an Earth of zombies than I'd believe De Niro could successfully woo Gugino for more than a friendly wave and a Hollywood kiss.
"When De Niro was in his prime my boyfriend was Ken – and his girlfriend Barbie," said Gugino.
At this, Al Pacino rolled his eyes, "I've gone from Dog Day Afternoon to Dog Day After-a-Nap." Al's intense glare is looking less menacing and more like a scowl from Granny of The Beverly Hillbillies.
My favorite part of Righteous Kill had to be when our heroes visit the hospital to question a suspect who's in severe physical distress. "His jaw is wired shut, but go ahead," the doctor tells them.
"His jaw is wired shut, but go ahead"?!
Was that the Socratic oath or the Sock-puppet oath you took, doctor?
Righteous it ain't.
Kill you it might.
2 Responses to "Righteous Kill"
Monica Hamburg says:
Thank you for the rant, Mark. This film was so infuriating for many of the reasons you addressed.
After the Gugino-De Niro sex scene my boyfriend dryly remarked, "Why'd she have sex with Grandpa?" My default would be "roofies" – but that still wouldn't help explain the actions of the rest of the characters.
Yeah, that's called "taking one for the team" where the team is your agent, your manager, and maybe still your stage mom.

While driving around southwestern Germany, near the town of Sinsheim, be on the lookout for a building with two gigantic supersonic jets shooting upward off its roof. The planes are just one of the many vehicular wonders found at the Sinsheim Auto & Technik Museum.
The museum is a haven for any and all car and motor vehicle enthusiasts. Not only does it hold Europe's largest Formula One collection, it also contains the biggest permanent collection of American Dream Cars outside the United States.
It's one of Europe's largest privately owned museums, yet it's still somehow widely overlooked. Walking inside is like entering a magnificent garage packed with over 3,000 world-class vehicles. It's full of sports cars, vintage cars, race cars, motorcycles, tractors, and even a few aircraft, as well as numerous mannequins staged throughout.
The Formula One collection is sprawling and is located mere miles from the Hockenheimring racing circuit. The American Dream Cars Collection showcases the iconic vehicles from pop culture and beautiful sports cars from the 1950s and '60s. There's an entire room dedicated to Porsche 911s, as well as other high-class cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini. The museum even contains the famous Blue Flame, the rocket-powered car that once shattered a world speed record on Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats.
In addition to the cars, one of the crown jewels of the museum is its "flight deck." Two supersonic jets are perched atop the museum's roof, one from France and the other from Russia. The planes are angled upward to mirror takeoff, and a sets of stairs allow visitors to enter and explore the steeply inclined aircraft.

A: Different email clients deal with dark mode differently.
Outlook iOS app supports the @media prefers-color-scheme feature, so you can add your desired code to the  (https://www.caniemail.com/features/css-at-media-prefers-color-scheme/)
<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">
<meta name="supported-color-schemes" content="light dark">

The meta tags tell the rendering engine that you support both light and dark themes.

Χρόνια πολλά Peter and Zoe!
Saints Zoe and Rome and Peter the Aleut, private collection, acrylic and gold leaf on birch panel, 11x14"
Many years to my friend, Peter, and his new wife, Zoe, who were married today! In honor of the occasion, I painted for them this icon of their patron saints: St. Zoe of Rome and St. Peter the Aleut. St. Zoe is pictured in her native Rome, with the tree on which she was hung in martyrdom, as well as the Tiber River in which the pagans threw her holy relics before being honorably buried by Christians. Saint Peter is depicted in his homeland of Alaska, along with a kayak reminding us of the hunting expedition which led to his capture and torture at the hands of Jesuits. Christ is in the heavens in the mandorla, giving to them their martyr's crowns.
I am happy to make custom family icons like this as wedding gifts. Please go to www.brianwhirledge.com for more information or to commission a custom icon as a gift for a wedding this summer or fall.
