M25 closure: Who are Insulate Britain and what were they protesting?

Climate action group Insulate Britain closed the M25 on Monday, causing travel chaos for tens of thousands of drivers.
But who are Insulate Britain, and what do they want?
Who are Insulate Britain?
Insulate Britain are a climate change campaign group who have been holding campaign meetings since at least June 2021, and were officially formed in August. Some call them an offshoot of environmental activist group Extinction Rebellion (XR) because they used similar road-blocking tactics and many of their members have been previously involved with XR. However the two groups are not officially linked.

What do they want?
The group want to put pressure on the Government ahead of the climate change conference COP26, which will be hosted in Glasgow in November. They list two demands, which they want the Government to 'meaningfully' respond to – before backing down.
That the UK Government immediately promises to fully fund and take responsibility for the insulation of all social housing in Britain by 2025
That the UK government immediately promises to produce within four months a legally binding national plan to fully fund and take responsibility for the full low-energy and low-carbon whole-house retrofit, with no externalised costs, of all homes in Britain by 2030 as part of a just transition to full decarbonisation of all parts of society and the economy.
Why do they want to Insulate Britain?
The group say the UK has around 29 million homes, which are the "oldest and least energy efficient housing stock in Europe". They say nearly 15 per cent of the UK's emissions are 'wasted' emissions from heating - and cooling - these 'leaky' homes, and around 19 million homes need to be insulated to enable the UK to meet its climate change targets.
However, the Green Homes Grant, promising to improve 600,000 homes, was scrapped in March 2021 having reached just 10 per cent of the homes promised.
Insulate Britain say that this scheme would create thousands of jobs, save tens of thousands from fuel poverty, and be the most cost-effective 'pound for pound' way of combatting carbon emissions.
Why did they block the M25?
They believe direct action like this is the only way to pressure the Government to take the problem seriously. The stunt was designed to garner maximum publicity, and to be enough of a disruption that it will force the Government to act to stop them.

Josh, a builder who helped block the M25 at Junction 20 in Hertfordshire, told LBC: "The science for climate change has been understood for the last 30 years, people have been campaigning, writing letters, doing interviews and marches.
"Every single thing that could be tried has been tried, and the Government are still investing billions into fossil fuels.
"By causing mass disruption, history has shown it is the most successful way to get mass change, for example, Suffragettes getting votes for women, Ghandi and Martin Luther King all used the same tactics."
What are they planning to do next?
The group have been clear from the start that they won't stop until the Government 'meaningfully' accept their demands. On Monday they put out a press statement saying "We have to keep going", vowing to cause further disruption "until government gets on with the job of insulating Britain's homes". They certainly plan to keep trying, the question is - how will the police respond now they know who they are and what they want to do?

Forgotten gems. We all have them. Once loved items that for some reason or another have gotten pushed to the back of the closet & haven't been worn for who knows how long...Soooo.. make it NEW again! All you need is a little creativity, scissors & some old t-shirts to create new purpose to your once forgotten old Tees.


With temperatures still plunging into the 20's in New York, walking one block becomes an Arctic Expedition. In an effort to stay sane and cozy, there are ways to combat the cold while bolstering thoughts of a happy warm place, with anticipation of spring flowers.
Wrap yourself in a cozy ivory sheepskin throw, slung over this ash wood-framed armchair with leather seat and back from West Elm. I love its casual spare nordic appeal.
Every time I see this chair in the Lee Industries showroom in High Point, I have to sit in it. The diminutive armchair in the style of a French club chair embraces you with its cozy shearling finish.
Distantly related to a shag-haired Cousin It, Atelier Demiurge's Baby Jane Slipper Chair, covered in Mongolian Lamb fur, provides a plush slightly-disco perch from which to watch the Olympics or general nesting.
Upholstered in a sheepskin fabric, the low-slung retro Maxime Chair from Jonathan Adler with brass details is feminine for more of an Auntie Mame-in-winter situation.
Whether you place it on the floor, or cover a chair with it, the New Zealand sheepskin throw from Design Within Reach with its deep pile and soft touch will warm even the most severe minimalists hearts.
Handwoven of Llama and Marino wool in Buenos Aires, Pehuen's chunky Cloud knit throw from Monc 13 has dramatically long fringe to emphasize the cozy factor.
Ok, so maybe its more teddy bear colored than winter white, but what's not to love about Ralph Lauren Home's Alpine Lodge Shearling Pillow, especially when used in multiples?
Substantial and shiny, the oversized round monogram pendants of Cinco Powell won't exactly go unnoticed. Statement making accessories, the attention getters that they are, allow your individuality to shine through. Whether you are wearing it as a necklace, using it as a keychain, or as a decorative accessory on your bag, Cinco Powell's hubcap-sized (at 30 inches!) medallion tags with engraved monogram and colorful enamel border of your choosing are chic as can be.
The classic medallion with circular monogram and teal enamel border reminds me of things I had with my monogram as a child of the 80's. So basically, what's not to like? If nostalgia is involved, count me in.
The same piece with a lime enamel border. Maybe I can get a fall and summer version for seasonal color shifts.
The same great monogram with the palest blue border.
Like a silver dollar, these things have heft. Here, the chartreuse border adds zing.
I love brass accessories. They add a bit of gleam, especially when used sparingly. I recently came across these stunning brass desk trays with cut corners on Kaufmann Mercantile, the online purveyor of all things cool, slightly rustic and well-designed since 2009.
The trays, which range in size, are perfect for holding objects that would otherwise create a messy and cluttered surface. Made in the oldest Japanese metal foundry, in operation since 1897, each surface finish and patina is unique, since it is sanded down after being removed from its mold.
Originally designed Oji Masanori, a designer of pared-down household objects, the trays hold their own today, looking just as fresh as they did all those years ago.
In the right setting, the punchy combination of black and white can be just right. Mixed in with tons of other colors, or used harmoniously with a singular additional hue, there is no telling what black and white can do. Here are 5 gifts, some humorous, some serious, that capture the magic of this striking combination.
This gift will go over really well if the recipient possesses a sense of humor and the ability to laugh at themselves. I love that they saying on Levtex's pillows are written in this My Three Sons font with retro overtones. Husbands, this pillow will win you major points!
Reinforcement helps. The Mr. Right version.
The graphic punch of Vista Alegre's latest collection with French fashion couturier Christian Lacroix integrates a watercolor stripe in a daring black and white linear pattern. The Sol Y Sombra dessert plates set the stage for a beautiful presentation.
With a dash of whimsy, Kelly Wearstler's glazed white and black ceramic bowl has a playful presence.
Having a spot near the front door to throw keys and business cards can alleviate the stress caused by a mess. Fashion darling Alexander Wang recently debuted a line of sleek home accessories, including this super chic black and white marble Junk Bowl.
Hand-inlaid bone and ebony pieces make Tozai's delicate looking jewelry box a prized place for special baubles.
What is more striking than the positive negative space captured in a graphic black and white piece of artwork? Playing off this natural yin yang, Natural Curiosities Geometric Study: Circle, White can hold its own or compliment a gallery wall.

Featured Author: Elizabeth Jennings
The Button Collector is Elizabeth Jennings just-released novel, published by PageSpring Publishing's Cup of Tea Books imprint. PageSpring is offering an introductory discount of 45 percent on the paperback edition only (US markets) through May 24.
On a gray day at a gritty flea market, Caroline Tilghman stumbles upon an unlikely treasure—-jars and jars of buttons in a dazzling kaleidoscope of colors.
Caroline is reminded of something she has made herself forget-—she too has a jar of buttons, an inheritance from her mother, which she has put on the back of a shelf. Out of sight. Out of mind. Out of her life.
That night, Caroline takes the jar down from the shelf. Intending only to look at the buttons, she opens the lid . . . and pours out her family's secrets.
The Button Collector unfolds with a series of vignettes in which each button reveals a piece of the bittersweet history of Caroline's family. A tragic accident forever alters the relationship between Caroline, her mother Emma, and her cousin Gail. Caroline sifts through the joys and anguishes of the past, bringing both herself and the reader to the realization that memories—-like buttons—-can sometimes be used to fasten together something we have left undone by mistake.
Interview with Elizabeth Jennings
Welcome, Elizabeth. How did you come up with the title The Button Collector?
I've gone through many titles for my book, which is based on stories connected to a family's button collection. The original was The Button Bag because in my family we kept buttons in an old cloth bag. Next was Circles of Color, a phrase from the opening. Much later I decided to emphasize the story collection aspect and changed the title to The Button Collection. When I got a contract with PageSpring Publishing, my editor wanted me to try The Button Jar because it's a stronger visual image. Finally, the publisher suggested The Button Collector so that readers would be able to connect with a specific character and real-life button collectors would be able to find it easily. By this point, the book was much more of a novel than a collection, so I think it's perfect.
I am a professional dabbler. Besides writing fiction, I have worked as a newspaper features writer and advertising copy writer, and I've done all sorts of free-lance work. I've also worked as a tutor, adjunct instructor for a community college, director of a literacy council, university press intern, and the advisor for the creative arts journal at a girls' middle school. I never know what I'll be doing next, but I'm thinking about teaching a continuing education class on blogging. I've enjoyed the blogging aspect of being an author. I get to write whatever I want. It's like opium for a writer.
That's a good analogy. How would you describe your book in a tweet?
A jar of old buttons...A collection of memories...A linking of tales....
Plot is my weakness so it was a long, painful process in some ways, but now I can say that I'm happy with how it turned out, so I believe that this was simply how my book was meant to evolve. The Button Collector is a novel in stories, similar to How to Make an American Quilt by Whitney Otto or Susan Vreeland's Girl in Hyacinth Blue. At first the stories were quite episodic, but the characters began to introduce recurring plot elements on their own, especially the narrator, Caroline. It is her process of reconciliation that forms the basis of the overarching plot, but originally most of this happened in the final section. My editor suggested a revision that would pull elements from this final section and spread them throughout the book, making it clearly a novel rather than a story collection. I'd received other suggestions over the years—-such as limiting the points of view—-but this idea immediately struck me as the right one and it was surprisingly easy to do.
Did you have any say in your cover art? What do you think of it? Tell us about the artist.
I didn't have a say in the cover art, but that didn't stop me from shooting off some panicky emails when my imagination went into overdrive about any number of cheesy possibilities! Fortunately, I love the cover art by Britanee Sickles, and it's actually very close to what I had in my mind. The buttons spilling out of the jar have a mysterious quality and the colors are like jewels. The thing that is somewhat unique about my book is that in addition to the cover art, a pen and ink drawing prefaces each story. Sarah Allgire was the wonderful artist for these. The drawings offer a nice visual hook and give the book a little multimedia flavor.
Tell us a book you're an evangelist for.
I stumbled across a book called The Hero's Walk by Anita Rau Badami, which tells the story of a Canadian orphan who goes to live with her grandparents in India. The exotic appeal of the Indian segments drew me in—-my book has a touch of India in it, too—-but the plot is also perfectly done in terms of building up suspense. I think the reason it touched me so deeply was because the characters exhibit a deep and genuine tenderness as they struggle to make connections with each other. I wish more people would read it!
Have you ever bought any books just for the cover? Did you enjoy the book(s)?
I love book covers, and they are indeed factors when I choose a book, but not usually the deciding factor. There is one book, however, that I definitely bought because of the combination of the cover and the title-—The Earth Hums in B Flat by Mari Strachan, a Welsh author. I ADORE that title and the cover is this wonderful, mystical drawing of a girl floating upward. I've since seen the UK cover and it is even more gorgeous—it shows a luminous orb held by a girl's hands with her body blocked from view. Fortunately, the book entirely lived up to its perfect packaging. I love it.
What do you do to market your book?
The most unusual thing I've done to market my book is an interactive reader feature on my blog called "Flash Fiction, Button Style." It invites readers to email a picture of a button, and I write a flash fiction piece telling the button's story. It's been fun! I limit it to 250 words in one hour so that I don't go off the deep end with it. People ask me how I come up with the ideas for the stories, and I have to laugh. Coming up with ideas is one thing I never have trouble doing—-implementing ideas is another story, which is why limiting the scope works so well. I've also jumped into online marketing and I've found it almost as enjoyable as writing the book.
I have a website, blog, book trailer on YouTube, Twitter account, Facebook page, Goodreads, LibraryThing, etc. I've enjoyed getting to know other bloggers, writers, and reviewers who've agreed to read my book. I've also had good luck getting endorsements from authors I admire—-Ann B. Ross, who writes the Miss Julia series of Southern humor books, Amy Willoughby--Burle, who is a North Carolina short story writer, and Susan Vreeland, who wrote Girl in Hyacinth Blue, The Passion of Artemisia and other best sellers. I was over the moon when Vreeland did a blurb for me because her work has a kinship with my own, or at least with what I'm striving to achieve.
Do you have imaginary friends? When do they talk to you? Do they tell you what to write or do you poke them with a Q-tip?
Do you mean there are people who don't have imaginary friends? I not only have imaginary friends, I have imaginary families, clans, and villages. Sometimes I wonder if I should be concerned that they are so real. I'm usually the one who approaches them, and while they don't tell me what to write, I've found that usually they have some wisdom to offer if I stop and try to figure out what it is.
Which character did you most enjoy writing?
In The Button Collector, Caroline's husband, Rishi, made a late appearance in the writing process, but I immediately liked him. By that point, Caroline's identity of thwarting traditional Southern expectations was firmly established, so it made sense that she would go outside her culture if and when she married. Rishi is from India, with a Hindu upbringing, so he serves as a contrast to Caroline's WASP family. It was fun to put a twist on the scenario and have Rishi quickly fit in with the clan, which forced Caroline to re-examine some assumptions she had made about her family and herself. Plus, Rishi is easy-going, good looking, and makes homemade chicken tikka masala. Who wouldn't like Rishi?
What are your favorite books?
a) As a child my favorite was The Witch of Blackbird Pond--even then I was attracted to multi-cultural perspectives, especially when they collided. The interface between the Puritans and the free-spirited girl from the Caribbean fascinated me.
b) As a teenager I was a serious Lord of the Rings fangirl. I'm talking posters, calendars, ephemera, multiple re-readings--the whole nine yards. I believe the fantasy genre enables people to examine their own human hopes and fears and dreams from a different angle even as it offers an expansive retreat from the ordinary. To this day, I have a weakness for fantasy and happily claim the title of nerd.
c) As an adult, Anne Tyler's Saint Maybe is my all-time favorite, which kind of goes against the whole fantasy inclination, but somehow both are true. The character of Ian and the dilemmas he faced were so heartbreakingly human and true. Tyler's work is also the type of fiction I usually write—-quiet, introspective, character-driven.
Tell us one weird thing, one nice thing, and one fact about where you live.
Most of the squirrels in my backyard are white and they bully the gray squirrels. We are surrounded by waterfalls and public forests. The Eastern Continental Divide passes through our county.
Is there anything in particular that you do to help the writing flow? Music? Acting out the scene? Long showers?
I'm a firm believer in the idea that the more you write, the easier it is to experience flow—-that almost magical immersion in your work during which you're calmly focused and time flies. Little rituals can be helpful in getting to that place, but really the only secret for me is to write almost every day. When you do this, your mind—-both the conscious and subconscious parts-—will continue working on the story even when you're not writing. Before long a character will tell you something or you'll envision a scene in your head or a sequence or connection will pop up like an idea balloon, and you'll have to sneak back to the keyboard and get it down.

Occultammina is a genus of xenophyophorean foraminifera known from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It is notable for being the first known infaunal xenophyophore as well as for being a possible identity for the enigmatic trace fossil Paleodictyon.

Distribution and habitat
Like all other known xenophyophores, Occultammina is found in the deep ocean; the first known specimen was first discovered in 1980 at a depth of  in the Ogasawara Trench, off the coast of Japan and described in 1982 by a joint research team from the University of Copenhagen and the University of Tokyo. Further specimens referred to Occultammina sp. have been found at a depth of  in the Porcupine Abyssal Plain, in the North Atlantic. Further studies have expanded its geographical and bathymetric range from  in the Ogasawara Trench and from  in the North Atlantic, and also recorded its presence at  in the Japan trench. Occultammina sp. has also been recovered at a depth of about  near the Clipperton Fracture Zone, off the coast of western Mexico.

Occultammina is infaunal; it typically is found at a depth of  or less below the sediment's surface. It was the first known infaunal xenophyophore.

Occultammina is found at turbidite facies in today's oceans.

Description
Occultammina is an exceptionally large single-celled organism; like other xenophyophores it constructs a complex, single-chambered shell or "test" from sediment particles. It grows in a net-like shape, the test consisting of hollow tubes that branch or form loose polygons. It is typically flattened compared to other xenophyophores. It also has vertically ascending tubular outlets. Occultammina tubes are similar to those of Tendalia in general shape, though the test structure differs.

The test wall typically ranges from 70-120 μm in thickness; it is poorly cemented and consists of two layers. The outermost is 15-30 μm in thickness and composed primarily from clay; the inner layer is 50-90 μm thick and composed of silt and radiolarian tests. The interior of the test lining has between one and four ridges separating the stercomares, or waste masses.

Individual Occultammina tubes are between  in diameter. Networks of Occultammina sized  across have been found at the Ogasawara trench.

A specimen of Occultammina profunda was found to have unusually high levels of the radioactive isotopes Lead-210 (half-life=22.3 years), Polonium-210 (half-life=138.376 days) and Radium-226 (half-life=1600 years), specifically in the grannelare and stercomare, among the highest levels of Lead-210 recorded in any living organism. The authors suggest that the relative distribution of radionuclides in the organism's body parts implies that it grows and excretes comparatively rapidly.

Unfortunately no DNA samples have been collected from Occultammina, preventing further examination of its evolutionary relationships.

Relation to Paleodictyon

The enigmatic "graphoglyptid" fossil Paleodictyon bears a passing resemblance to Occultammina, and this has led to suggestions of relationship between the two. Paleodictyon fossils are known from sediments interpreted as representing abyssal paleoenvironments associated with turbidite deposits, potentially lending credence to the hypothesis. Paleodictyon also preserves vertically ascending tubules that have been likened to those of Occultammina.

However, this relationship has been contested. The large size (up to ) of some Paleodictyon is unknown in modern Occultammina; the regular hexagonal pattern of Paleodictyon is similarly not represented in Occultammina. The apparent absence of collected sediment particles (known as xenophyae) in graphoglyptid fossils further casts doubt on the possibility.

Modern examples of Paleodictyon have been discovered; however, they have not been able to clear up the issue. These specimens come from near the mid-Atlantic Ridge at a depth of . The specimens ranged from  in diameter. Dissection of one specimen did not reveal tubes, mucus, protoplasm, or evidence of a test. Staining of a second specimen did not reveal soft-bodied evidence for xenophyophores such as stercomares or granellae;  some small agglutinated fragments were found that could have been from a psamminid, but this is not unexpected in deep-sea sediments. DNA analysis also did not reveal evidence of xenophyophores in the sample. The modern samples also lacked the barium concentration caused by the barite crystals in xenophyophore tests. This study suggested that Paleodictyon could represent a burrow system or a glass sponge.

Magician Drinks Mana Potion Before Guessing Card
BY Jeremy Kaplowitz ON March 7, 2022
LAS VEGAS — Vegas magician Matteo the Magnificent was seen slurping down a potion to increase his mana points during a show last night so that he could accurately guess an audience member's card, according to those familiar with the situation.
"These shows go on so long that I'm usually out of mana by the end of the first hour. Usually I have my sexy assistants walk around on stage for a bit so I can suck down some pots, but I guess some people noticed I had a glowing blue liquid on lips in the middle of a trick and everybody lost it," Matteo the Magnificent explained. "I don't know what people expected. How am I supposed to guess someone's card if I'm out of mana?! What am I just supposed to know what someone's card is without looking at it? There's like 70 of them in a deck or something. No, it's a spell. I cast a spell of insight and learn the card through that. Grow up!"
Attendees of the show were reportedly upset to see the magician drinking potions, according to those familiar with the situation.
"Simply put, I am shocked and horrified. I paid to see some wholesome magic fun — some sawing people in half and some sexual innuendo puns — and then this magician starts doing some sort of drugs in the middle of the show?!" said Dustin Mitchell, a concerned viewer. "He claims it just helps him with the magic, but if that's true, it's even worse! I'm sorry, but I don't want my magicians using performance enhancing drugs during a show that I paid good money for. Sorry, but if you want to be a magician, you should perform your tricks the old fashioned way: I don't know how they do their tricks."
Despite complaints, the Association of Las Vegas Magicians have decided not to remove Matteo from their ranks.
"Look, we all gotta drink potions during the show. That's part of the gig. You gotta do it in a way that's more subtle of course, but mistakes are made. He just needs to make sure to use sleight of hand, next time — because that's an incantation, so he can use it without needing mana," said Stupendous Stephan, an official from the ALVM. "It's not even just mana potions. Lotta times when we saw people in half or swallow swords, we need to drink a health potion or even an endurance potion. How the fuck do you think we swallow swords without that?! We would die."
At press time, Matteo the Magnificent had tragically overdosed on mana potions, briefly becoming a magical sorceror god and terrorizing Las Vegas, before eventually succumbing to madness and passing away. He is survived by his several bunny rabbits.

New in 2019: VA's health care rules will be completely rewritten this year
By: Leo Shane III January 2
Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie examines prosthetic limbs during a visit to the Cleveland VA Medical Center on Aug. 31, 2018. Senior department leaders are working on an overhaul of VA community care rules, due this spring. (VA)
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has been promising expanded health care choices for veterans dating back to his election campaign in 2015.
But 2019 could be the year his administration actually makes that happen.
Veterans Affairs has been working on expanded community care rules for veterans' medical appointments since last summer, when Congress approved the VA Mission Act. Details of that work are expected to be released in early 2019, and a full set of new regulations is scheduled to be released in early spring.
Among other priorities, the legislation mandated a retooling of the department's policies for veterans seeking private-sector care, a massive undertaking that supporters have hailed as giving more flexibility and freedom to veterans who face long lines at VA hospitals and clinics.
VA Secretary Robert Wilkie in December hailed the work as part of "a real transformational period at the department."
But critics have attacked the work as the first step toward privatizing key parts of the VA mission.
Democrats, including House members who will be taking control of the chamber this year, have promised intense oversight into the new outside care rules, to ensure they aren't written to siphon off needed federal resources to private businesses.
As written, the legislation requires VA to remain a core coordinator of veterans health care plans but also to ensure "the scheduling of medical appointments in a timely manner," "continuity of care and services," and "no lapse in health care services."
That leaves a significant amount of work to be settled in the details of VA's implementation plan.
Currently, the VA's Choice program — the best known and most used of the community care programs — is restricted to veterans who live more than 40 miles from a VA facility or face a wait of more than 30 days for VA services.
The new programs will likely jettison those rules in favor of a looser set of guidelines, including language for veterans who face "an unusual or excessive burden" getting their care at VA facilities.
Veterans groups have advocated for more flexibility for care options but also warned against abandoning the current Veterans Health Administration, a key safety net for millions of veterans across the country.
A congressional hearing previewing the Mission Act implementation work was scheduled for early December but was postponed due to the death of former President George H.W. Bush. That has only added more mystery and urgency to the drafts under consideration by top VA officials.

Those in tune with the underground scene in Detroit will recognize the name Fatt Father. He has worked with hip-hop artists like D12, Elzhi, Black Milk, and Sean Price (just to name a few). On top of killing features Fatt Father has carved out a fan base through his solo releases and group projects with Detroit rap quartet The Fat Killahz alongside King Gordy, Marv Won, and ShimE BangO.
We were lucky enough to land a small question and answer session with him leading up to his new album, Veterans Day. Once again, I would like to extend our thanks to Fatt Father for taking time out of his day to do this! We're a small blog of fans, and it is definitely appreciated!
If you've never listened to his tunes, definitely give them a listen (and check out the interview below)!
EN: Who would you say are your biggest influences musically?
Fatt Father: Notorious BIG, Scarface, Royce da 5'9", The Fat Killahz, and The Temptations. I listen to soooo many different artists and genres of music, my list could actually go on forever but those are a few of my favorites!
EN: I thought "They Know" was fantastic, can we expect more music like that from you and D.R.U.G.S. Beats on Veteran's Day? How would you describe the sound of the album?
Fatt Father: It gets even BETTER! "They Know" was actually just a warm-up… It is no where near what we're bringing on Veterans Day! D.R.U.G.S. Beats is one of the dopest producers out there and he's "Dr. Dre Approved" [laughs], so you know that he's a beast. The only way to describe this album is "classic", and that's what we we're shooting for. Veterans Day features The Fat Killahz, Kuniva (of D12), Royce da 5'9", Elinor Wyn, Chordz Cordero, and many more talented individuals.
EN: I know you've worked with a variety of different artists like Black Milk, D12, Guilty Simpson, and more, but do you have a collaboration with another rapper that stands out to you as a personal favorite?
Fatt Father: I would have to say "Grime" from my Fatherhood album because it features Guilty Simpson, Sean Price (Rest in Peace), and Roc Marciano. These are 3 emcees that I respect and look up to, so whenever I hear the song it feels like I'm the little brother that finally got the chance to hang out with my big bros and we all did our thing!
EN: Who would be your dream artist to collaborate with?
Fatt Father: Scarface! I just feel like Scarface is never afraid to put his heart on the track and I'm the exact same way so I believe that we could create some AMAZING MUSIC!
EN: Can we expect another Fat Killahz release in the future?
EN: On the topic of the Fat Killahz, I have to ask: is King Gordy as wild in person as he comes across on record? He's always seemed to have that rock-star attitude.
Fatt Father: He is absolutely insane but he's my brother so I'm forced to love him! [Laughs].
EN: Are you and Marv still planning to release music as The Twin Towers? I really enjoyed that Ca'Mon song with Ro Spit when it came out.
Fatt Father: Yes we are! We just have to finish up a few more songs and hopefully it will be released after we both drop our solo projects that we're wrapping up.
EN: On twitter and in your music you've always come across as an incredibly supportive parent. If you could give one piece of advice to all the dads out there, what would it be?
Fatt Father: Take advantage of EVERY moment that you get to spend with your children and NEVER take time for granted!!! I love to see my children smile, so I try to make them happy as much as I possibly can.
EN: I'm a big fan of food, so I thought we could touch on food for a second. What what the most delicious meal you've ever eaten?
Fatt Father: I don't know but I can guarantee that it had bacon on it! Bacon is absolutely amazing and if it was legal to marry it, I would have no problem giving bacon my last name! [Laughs].
EN: One last question: If you had to choose, would you rather eat bacon cheeseburgers or bacon wrapped shrimp for every meal during 2016? I'm a bacon cheeseburger man, personally.
EN: I'd just like to say on behalf of myself and Extraordinary Nobodies, thank you so much for your time. It's a pleasure to be able to interview you for our site.
Fatt Father: Yo, thanks for reaching out! I appreciate all of the love and support! Check out FattWorld, Veterans Day COMING SOON!!!

How much are any of them worth? Like the new ones or ones from years past.
Worth? most people don't sell the medals I got a whole CC package off ebay with the Groudon bag, and all the goodies for $30 it also came with the CC medal.
Depends very on location I think.
In US, you have very many CC, so they come cheap, but I think that in a smaller country like Norway, I could get away with 50 $.
The few medals I have seen sold separately have been 10-20 each.
More often in the package with the bag, binder and stuff for 30-40 each.


The world-renowned Trisha Brown Dance Company presents "In Plain Site," a site-specific work performed at various locations across Emory's campus. Performances are April 7-8. Photo by Kat Schleicher.
Nearly 40 years later, the Trisha Brown Dance Company returns to campus April 7-8 to perform "In Plain Site" as part of the 2017-2018 Candler Concert Series.
One of the most acclaimed and influential choreographers and dancers of her time, Trisha Brown, who passed away in March 2017, created groundbreaking work that forever changed the landscape of art. Today, the Trisha Brown Dance Company perpetuates Brown's legacy through its "In Plain Site" performance series, reinvigorating her choreography by staging it in new contexts including outdoor sites and museums.
The Trisha Brown Dance Company has been engaged with the Emory community all year, scouting the campus for ideal locations to stage her famous works. This fall, company dancer Jamie Scott and associate director Carolyn Lucas conducted a two-week residency on campus during which they engaged in a Rosemary Magee Creativity Conversation and set Brown's historic work "Solo Olos" on six Emory Dance Company members.
Learning and performing "Solo Olos" allowed the Emory students to embody a piece of history, a rare opportunity for young scholars.
"Through dancing significant historical works, dancers who are also scholars have an advantage because they can understand history kinesthetically," he adds.
The six Emory students in the "Solo Olos" cast had the opportunity to share this work with other students from the Southeast at the American College Dance Association Conference at Coker College in early March.
Performances of "In Plain Site" are Saturday, April 7, at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. and Sunday, April 8, at 2 p.m. and begin at the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts. In the event of rain, the performance will take place in the Schwartz Center's Tharp Rehearsal Hall.
All performances are free and open to the public. For more information, visit arts.emory.edu or call the Arts at Emory Box Office at 404-727-5050.

Top 6 Virtual Reality Devices to Check Out
Immerse yourself with the latest in VR technology
Virtual reality is no longer in the realm of future possibility. When the early versions of virtual reality or VR arrived in the '90s, the graphics were blocky and headsets were very clunky. It was also very expensive. The only way most people could experience VR was in an arcade. The good news is that VR technology has advanced to the point that the graphics now look more realistic and everyone can now have their own headsets without spending a fortune.
The question remains: which VR headset to buy? There are several options available which either require a high-end computer or just a phone. To help you get started, we've made a handy guide for picking the right VR headset for your budget.
SRP: P60,000
Requirement: High-end PC
The Vive is the most priciest consumer VR headset and for that money, you get full-head tracking a which allows you to move your head towards or away from objects in the virtual world. Two sensors also allow for real-time positioning and a front-facing camera lets you view the real world without taking off the headset.
If price is not an issue, one of best VR headsets you can get right now is the Oculus Rift. Designed for home use, the Oculus Rift requires a powerful VR-ready PC in order to run virtual reality software such as games. For the price, you get the best-looking graphics and access to games specifically designed for the Oculus Rift. Two free games and an Xbox One controller come bundled with the headset.
SRP: P5,000
Requirement: Select Samsung phones
Gear VR delivers a portable and untethered virtual experience using a compatible Samsung mobile phone. Designed for VR, 360, and video apps, this lightweight high-quality headset opens up to accommodate Samsung's premium phone models. The Gear VR features Oculus optimized software and has its own app store that currently has more than 180 apps.
Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge
SRP: Plan dependent
Requirement: Gear VR
For a mobile phone-based VR setup, the one of the best phones for the job is a Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Both phones have a brilliant QHD Super AMOLED display for eye-popping VR. Inside, there's a fast processor and 4GB RAM for high performance 3D graphics and precise head-tracking. For a flagship, the S7 series delivers when it comes to VR.
I Am Cardboard DSCVR
Requirement: Android or iPhone smartphone
The DSCVR headset is designed with portability and simplicity in mind. It's also easy on your wallet. The DSCVR is compatible with a variety of phones that have 5 to 6-inch screens such as the Note or iPhone 6 plus. The headset is made from impact-resistant plastic and can fold into a compact size. The silicon strap holds your phone in place and a capacitive button allows one-tap phone control. An added bonus: the DSCVR comes in several candy colors to suit your style
Lenovo AntVR
Requirement: Android smartphone
The AntVR can be purchased separate or bundled with a Lenovo Vibe K4 Note. The headset is compatible with most 5 to 6-inch phones. The AntVR folds for storage, and head straps allow for hands-free viewing. The dual aspherical lens gives a viewing angle of about 100 degrees. When used with the TheaterMax app found in Lenovo phones, the headset turns into a virtual widescreen cinema.
Lenovo Vibe K4 Note
The Vibe K4 Note lets you build a VR-ready setup without breaking the bank. The K4 Note's 5.5-inch full HD screen is perfect for experiencing immersive VR with the bundled headset. An 8-core CPU and 3GB of RAM keeps things snappy for playing VR-ready content. Providing increased audio realism is a pair of Dolby Atmos-powered speakers.
VR Box Virtual Reality Headset
The VR Box VR headset has a universal docking system that's compatible with most phones including phablets. The lens allows slight adjustments for better focus and 3D effect. The adjustable headstrap and foam lining provide great comfort during prolonged use. The phone's headphone and charging port can still be accessed using the headset's open side slots.

One, of the many, things I love about Austin is the collaborative atmosphere in the arts community. When I started this little blog a few years ago it was not met with resistance from the other Austin music bloggers, it was embraced. They posted links to my site on their site, they said hello at shows and they supported me morally and professionally. It is with this spirit that I jokingly refer to Richard from Ultra8201 as my blog-father. Ultra8201 was the first site to add Austin Bloggy Limits to their blogroll and Richard was the first person to introduce me to our fellow bloggers and tweeters and I will always appreciate that.
Writing of any sort can feel like sending a message in a bottle, you've put your words out into the universe but you're never really sure if anyone has received your message. That is why writing a music blog, consistently, for six years is quite a milestone. Ultra8201 brings lots of great content to the masses on a regular basis and they also put on great events. They have supported some really fantastic Austin bands when they were just starting out and helped to get their names recognized around town. Tonight is a celebration of great writing, great events and great friends. All of us in the Austin blog community hope that you can make it out to Swan Dive this evening to enjoy some great music from local artists and to celebrate six years with Ultra8201. Also, you should dress to impress because Austin's greatest party photographer, ulovei will be spinning tunes and capturing you with his camera as well. See you there!

Chiefs Ink Sammy Watkins and Anthony Hitchens
by Braden Holecek
in AFC, AFC West, Free Agency, Kansas City Chiefs, NFL
With the free agency signing period officially beginning this week, the Chiefs made some splash moves. On Tuesday, the news broke of two moves that the Chiefs had made, one to the offensive side of the ball and one to the defensive side.
On the offensive side of things, the Chiefs complete their offense by the signing of wide receiver Sammy Watkins. This was a pretty good get for the Chiefs, as Watkins was rumored to have a large market of teams that were wanting his services for 2018 and beyond. The deal is reportedly for three years at $48 million. To the chagrin of some people out there, they feel like Watkins got overpaid. For athletes, part of the business is being able to accumulate as much money as you can before retirement. On the money side of things for the Chiefs, they are taking a chance on Watkins while he is still young and in his prime.
What does the signing of Watkins mean for the Chiefs? With Albert Wilson signing with the Dolphins, the Chiefs sign a speedster with great hands in Watkins. Plus, Watkins joins the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and Kareem Hunt on the Chiefs offense. This also means the Chiefs do not have a big need come draft time at wide receiver. Could the Chiefs still draft one? Besides Watkins and Hill, the Chiefs employ Chris Conley, Demarcus Robinson, De'Anthony Thomas and Jehu Chesson on the depth chart.
Now let's take a look at what signing the Chiefs made to help out the defense. Middle linebacker Anthony Hitchens has signed with Kansas City, although the terms of the contract are still not finalized. Hitchens will earn $9 million per year. Also, the deal runs five years. Hitchens spent his first four years in the NFL with the Dallas , who drafted him in 2014. In his career, Hitchens started in 48 games.
When looking at Hitchens tape, it's obvious that he can stop the run, something the Chiefs have struggled with the last couple of years. Like Watkins, Hitchens is still young, which backs up the Chiefs other offseason moves. Hitchens youth and playing style also pairs him up perfectly with Reggie Ragland, whom he will share the inside linebacker duties with. There have been many mentions on Hitchens on social media, after this deal came to fruition. Most players seem to think the Chiefs made a good signing by getting the likes of Hitchens to try and improve the defense.
The Chiefs do not appear finished. Look for them to possibly land a defensive tackle as well. But by signing a wide receiver and middle linebacker, the Chiefs tightened up some positions of need that may not have enough depth for them in the draft. If the Chiefs can land a defensive tackle, they are heading into the draft in better shape. The draft seems to have plenty of depth at defensive back.

If tires reach below the commonly accepted tire changing tread width of 2/32 of an inch, then you know it is time to replace your tires. By changing the tires at this width or thicker, you can avoid accidents and maybe also avoid getting a ticket.
If you would like to try measuring the tread width of your own tires, consider the penny method. The top of Lincoln's head on a penny is 2/32 of an inch from the edge of the coin. So, if you stick a penny head down in between the treads and can still see the top of Lincoln's head, then the tread of your tires is too thin.
Our team of professional mechanics at Baierl Acura in Wexford have a ton of experience with tire gauging. We can let you know if it's time to get new tires. Contact us today to get your tires checked or replaced.

Execs err, employees are supposed to pay
The publisher of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Chris Harte, is outraged that the 116 members of the now flabby, right-leaning newspaper's pressman's union have thus far refused to agree to major cuts in pay and work rule changes that would significantly weaken their protections against overwork, forced overtime and similar abuses.
Avista Capital Partners, a New York investment (read financial speculation) firm that bought the Star Tribune in 2007, put the paper into a Chapter 11 bankruptcy a couple of months ago. It now is asking the federal bankruptcy court to cancel the pressmen's labor contract on the grounds that the union has failed "to enter serious negotiations for concessions needed because of a sharp decline in advertising revenue as well as debt from the 2007s acquisition..."
So the Strib's own reporter, David Phelps, said in a Nov. 20 story in the publication's business section.
In truth, the Avista move, and Harte's outrage -- Phelps called it "frustration" but the stronger feelings came through in the story -– are new, but hardly unexpected, examples of outrageous, jaw-dropping arrogance on the part of the lords of the universe class.
It is right up there with the chief executives of auto manufacturers flying to Washington on separate, hugely expensive private aircraft to beg for government money to hold off self-created ruin. It easily matches $100,000 office rugs and million dollar office redecoration for sheer, stupid gall.
Those guys, too, are angry because anyone dares to question their right to such goodies.
Harte's snit demonstrates, with no chance of misunderstanding, the sense of entitlement and superiority ingrained in the minds of the Avista speculators and corporate strippers.
The country is teetering on the edge of a depression that may exceed the misery of the 1930s. The great majority of the population is hurting financially and millions of people are falling into desperate straits, but the Avista guys think others should pay the cost of their stupidities.
To fully understand, the public needs to know some things that weren't in Phelps' story.
Avista bought the Strib from the McClatchy Company for $530 million. Avista borrowed most of the purchase price. It is what the business world, never fond of straight talk, calls a leveraged buyout.
Nobody among Avista's principals had ever before been involved in the news business, and it was clear none of them had any interest in journalism.
The almost-clearly-stated goal of the Avista crowd and Harte, who owns slightly more than 4 percent of the Strib, was to strip the newspaper company of major assets, such as real estate –- sell off the land, buildings and anything else with cash value –- and reduce operating costs by slashing staff, then sell what is left of the poor old rag to some sucker who wants to try running a newspaper.
If the Strib were a stand-alone business it would be profitable today. It reported an operating profit of $31 million for 2008. That's before taxes and other payments, so without Avista and Harte, as a stand alone business, its net profit would have been less than that -– but it would have shown a net profit.
What put it into Chapter 11, and what may put the Star Tribune out of business, is the enormous debt that Avista stuck it with. The company is strangling on those loan payments.
Harte and the rest of the Avista crowd miscalculated as badly as the boobs who run the big banks and brokerage houses. Like those other bozos, the Avista geniuses assumed that the money would just keep rolling in and their speculations would go on floating forever on tainted air.
Now Harte, and no doubt the rest of the Avista crowd, are outraged, yes outraged, that the pressmen don't much feel like cutting themselves out of the middle class to rescue the fools who put their livelihoods, and what was one of the country's best newspapers, in jeopardy.
I'm truly sad to say it -– I loved the Strib most of the years I worked there, and for most of my life before I worked there –- but it may be the best thing for everybody, including the beleaguered employees, if Harte and Avista go under, even if they take the Strib with them.
After all the moaning and whining, the United States will have newspapers. Minneapolis will have a newspaper. The Strib soon will be little more than a shell anyway, and it's outright collapse probably will hasten the day that someone who actually knows how to run a newspaper will show up.
As for Harte and his money-playing partners:
Really, they should shut up and take what's coming to them without trying to squeeze more out of the newspaper's dedicated employees, who are hurting badly enough but will hurt much more before this is over.

A Review of the Travel Characteristics Surveys Conducted in Hong Kong
Mr K B To Assistant Commissioner / Planning, Transport Department HKSAR Government
Mr To is a professional engineer specialized in transport planning and traffic engineering. After graduation from the University of Hong Kong in 1979, he joined the Hong Kong Government as a Civil Engineering Graduate in 1980 when he began his career as a civil servant and a practitioner with over 20 years of experience in the transport planning and traffic engineering stream. In 1990, he received his MSc(Eng) degree in Transport Planning and Engineering with distinction from the University of Leeds. He is now serving as the Assistant Commissioner for Transport/Planning in the Transport Department in Hong Kong responsible for the supervision of Comprehensive Transport Studies, District Traffic Studies, Transport Model Development and Applications, Road Safety and Standards, and the implementation of major roads and railway projects.
After the completion of the first Comprehensive Transport Study in Hong Kong in 1976, the Hong Kong Government conducted three Travel Characteristics Surveys in 1981, 1992, and 2002. The Travel Characteristics Survey covering about 1.5% of all households is the largest household interview survey for transport studies conducted in Hong Kong. It collects the necessary data on peoples' travel patterns and behaviours for the re-calibration and enhancement of the comprehensive transport model and for the establishment of database for transport planning works. Attitude surveys were introduced in the Survey conducted in 2002 to enhance the understanding of the publics' views and attitudes towards the transport system for planning purposes. Whilst the Government is planning to conduct the next round of Travel Characteristics Survey in 2011, it would be useful to review the Surveys done in the past, especially the one carried out in 2002, to establish the approach and methodology for the coming survey. The Seminar will focus on the review of the survey conducted in 2002 which forms the basis for the planning of the next survey.

Posted on July 27, 2018 April 15, 2019 By Nikkie M.
The sun is out, flowers are blooming, and veggies are in the ground.
Summer is here and we are anxious to get out into the garden.
Well, gardening can offer fresh air, exercise, and relaxation. But gardening can also lead to back pain, especially if you have a previous back injury.
Thankfully, back pain does not have to be a part of your garden plan. There are ways to garden safely while avoiding back pain and further injury.
Keep proper body mechanics in mind when moving about the garden.
When bending to lift, weed, or plant in an area, do not bend at the waist or twist as this places added strain on the lower back.
With your feet shoulder-width apart, squat and lunge to do these tasks. Kneel on kneeling pads whenever you can.
When lifting boxes, bags of soil, or other necessary items for the garden, squat and lift your items, keeping the items close to your core and body.
For some activities, such as refreshing or planting flower pots or planting seeds in cells, do it all while sitting.
Pull up a chair to a garden table (or sit at a picnic table) and do what you can without standing or bending.
This garden cart rolling work seat helps take the pain out of picking those delectable delights when ripe.
As muscles tire, your risk for injury increases. So, instead of spending hours at a time simply weeding, break up your activities into short intervals.
For example, spend 20 minutes weeding, 20 minutes raking, 20 minutes resting.
Take frequent breaks to prevent not only exhaustion but also overuse and straining of muscles.
Using proper garden tools for the job at hand goes a long way to prevent back injury and pain. Wheelbarrows allow for the ease of moving heavy soil and other objects around the yard. Rakes, hoes, and trowels help to reach and grab things in the distance. Hose reels help with lugging a heavy hose, as well as keeping things tidy. Make sure the tools are of appropriate size and length. Also, be sure that the tools are not too heavy. Heavy tools can also cause a muscle strain to your back. Have you ever tried to rake and gather leaves, by yourself, with only a plastic rake? It can be a frustrating struggle. The use of leaf scoops and leaf bag holders change the task considerably.
The better quality tools and proper maintenance (i.e.: keeping scissors, trowels, and hedge trimmer's sharp) make your job a lot easier.
Slowly stretch your muscles before and after gardening to pull on those muscles that have been stressed and bunched up while working out.
If your health or mobility do not allow for full range of motion and getting down on the ground is not possible, bring the garden to you with a raised bed.
Many associate raised beds with gardens with soil built up 6-12 inches from the ground. For some, this is not enough.
Why not bring it up to waist height and eliminate, or significantly decrease the need to bend or lift anything from the ground.
Using proper body mechanics can allow you to enjoy the physical and mental benefits that gardening allows without pain.
So have fun and be safe.

When Medicare was created for senior citizens and America 's disabled in 1965, about half of a senior's health care spending was on doctors and the other half on hospitals.
One way we gave small businesses more money to invest was by extending tax provisions on expensing. This allows businesses to immediately write off things like equipment, without being burdened by depreciation requirements.
The federal government seeks to control and regulate the Internet, but the last thing this Congress should be doing is trying to stifle public debate online.
There has to be some limit to what lawyers can take from their clients. Otherwise, cagey attorneys end up with the lion's share of the settlement and the victims end up with little more than scraps.
It's estimated for every $1 billion we spend on road construction, nearly 48,000 jobs are created.
With more than 67 percent of the Nation's freight moving on highways, economists believe that our ability to compete internationally is tied to the quality of our infrastructure.
The Tort Tax adds to the cost of everything we buy because businesses and manufacturers have to cover themselves and their employees - just in case they get sued by a greedy personal injury lawyer.
You can't jam change down the American people's throat.
You see, we all want the same things. We want to be able to take care of our families, provide for our children, to have a roof over our heads and a good-paying job.
Priorities like winning the War on Terror and providing tax relief that will keep our economy growing strong.
What makes America great is that we can come together during times of national tragedy.
Just like families must live within their budgets, the Federal Government must live within its means. We have passed appropriations bills that have been fiscally responsible while recognizing our national priorities.
Today, nearly 40 percent of a senior's healthcare spending is on pharmaceutical medications.
Too many employers have said that they are unable to find skilled workers.

Obama Warns Coast Guard Cadets: Global Warming A National Security Threat
President Barack Obama warned graduating Coast Guard cadets Wednesday that their careers would be spent battling the "indisputable" effects of climate change, a global menace with the power to weaken American infrastructure and stoke unrest around the world.

Police Violence Cases Spurring Proposals For Body Cameras
A rash of cases involving police violence against young black men — most recently including the death of a Baltimore man in police custody — has bolstered the case for body-worn police video cameras both in Connecticut and Washington. In Washington, the GOP-led Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing Tuesday on the use of police body video recorders, and on President Obama's proposal that the federal government help local law enforcement agencies pay for them. Meanwhile,

Presidents Muzzled By Turkey On Genocide
Most people don't realize that Clinton, Bush and Obama told the American Armenian community, while running for office, that as president, they will recognize the mass extermination of the Armenians in 1915 as a genocide. That has not happened. As a retired American of Armenian descent, I still can't grasp the fact that a foreign nation has put a gag order on our presidents, and they complied. Kudos to the Pope for having the moral courage to recognize the genocide, and stating unequivocally "Concealing or denying evil is like allowing a wound to keep bleeding without bandaging it!" David Davis ...

Make Contractors Reveal Contributions
Lacking a constitutional amendment explicitly allowing regulation of campaign financing by the government (and thus undoing the damage done by the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision)--and perhaps as a step in that direction--President Obama should issue an executive order requiring government contractors to divulge their campaign contributions. I hope that my senators and representative will join me in urging him to do so.
Obama Shouldn't Act Alone On Treaty
As Preident Obama attempts to sell the framework of a nuclear treaty with Iran to a Congress that here-to-fore has been largely left out of the process, it would be wise to heed two things: 1. In No. 75 of The Federalist Papers, written around 1788 to persuade the representatives of the original thirteen states to ratify the Constitution, Alexander Hamilton argued for the inclusion of both executive and legislative branches of government in the treaty approval process. He stated that "The history of human conduct does not warrant that exalted opinion of human virtue which would make it wise ...

Can Back Democrats And Israel
Jonah Goldberg asks, "Can U.S. Jews back Democrats and Israel?" (March 29). The answer is a resounding "yes." Contrary to Goldberg's premise, one could maintain that support for Israel and for the Democratic Party are not inconsistent. Israel is a liberal democracy with one of the best records in the world for women's advancement, worker protections and gay rights. Partly for that reason, historically, the Democratic Party has been a good friend to Israel, although it has recently been pulled off course by the temporary influence of President Obama, who does not reflect mainstream views, while the Republican Party has ...

Disrespect For President Hurts Us In The World
In my view, since the inauguration of President Barack Obama, the Republican Party has done everything it can to humiliate and embarrass him. What I can't understand is, why? The GOP says it just they disagrees with his policies. That doen't fly or hold water. You mean to say that a man who was elected by the majority of the American people twice has no good idears or policies that the GOP can support. Just think what could have been acomplished to improve this country if the Republicans had given this man the same chane to lead this country as ...
Why Is Obama Focused On Israel?
The world is aflame in war and murderous violence. Our armed forces are back in Iraq and engaged in conflicts elsewhere in the Middle East and world and while this is happening, President Obama is focusing his attention on disrupting the orderly processes of the government of Israel. He seeks revenge for Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to Congress and victory in the recent election as though the will of the Israeli people counts for nothing. President Obama has latched onto a statement made in the heat of battle on the last day of a long campaign which he has contrived ...
Give Obama A Sporting Chance
I'm repeatedly amazed by the public's response to any of our Presidents taking a break or doing anything remotely entertaining. Outgoing presidents famously advise incoming ones to utilize Camp David to relax and recharge. The publicity about Obama playing basketball brackets is obviously meant to humanize the man leading our nation. And no, I don't think he hired consultants or spent budget meetings day dreaming about fantasy teams. I think he paused for a light moment between meetings in a heavily scheduled day that would bring most of us to our knees. Leaders of other nations, allies and otherwise, know ...
State Budget Deficit Grows To Nearly $133 Million
Obama Shouldn't Be Filling Out NCAA Bracket
I was dumb-founded watching president Obama publicly place his NCAA basketball selections. While the world is awash in brutal terrorism Obama is fiddling, like Nero, with a child's game. I wonder if he used taxpayer money to hire sports consultants to assist him in his selections. I wonder if he spent more time on his selections or on the budget. I wonder how our seriously our enemies take Obama. Obama is flying 7 sorties a day against ISIS. We sent 170 sorties a day during the Bosnian war. Perhaps he is distracted. Finally, the message that he is sending our ...

Homeland Security Shutdown = Irresponsible Government The politicians in their infinite wisdom are using the Department of Homeland Security as a pawn to make a point about immigration policy. The dispute with the GOP majority was triggered by President Obama's unilateral actions on immigration. Homeland Security consists of many agencies, including the United States Coast Guard. The USCG has long been the poor stepsister of the U.S. military. Though arguably with its history dating to 1790, the premier maritime agency of the U.S. The Coast Guard has many responsibilities including: enforcing the nation's laws at sea; migrant interdiction; drug interdiction; ...
