Bucking The Norm
Women are increasingly joining the ranks of upper-echelon stock contractors—those who breed, train, and provide elite bucking bulls to the PBR.

The two gatemen are poised to yank open the chute. The flank man, a remote control clenched in his teeth, makes a final adjustment of the flank strap, as his assistant peers over his shoulder. Forward of the flank strap on the young bull's back, a 10-pound electronic simulator replicates the sensation of a rider on his back. The gate bursts open, the two gatemen scurry up the fence, and the bull explodes from the chute, bucking and twisting. Four seconds later, the flank man hits the remote, the lightweight simulator flies free and goes airborne, and the bull trots off.
"Good one!" exclaims one of the gatemen, clapping. She tells me later that four seconds with the lightweight simulator on the young bull's back helps her determine the bull's natural bucking tendencies.

It's all in a day's work for this former Marine, wife, and mother: She's a full-time stock contractor.
Scarlet Floyd, along with her husband, Toby, owns and operates Floyd Bucking Bulls. The assistant behind Toby is their 10-year-old son, Briar, and the gal handling the gate rope today is their 14-year-old daughter Arianna.
"Perhaps one of my favorite things about this business is that it's something we can all do together as a family," says Scarlet. "We work with these animals from the time they hit the ground to the time they perform; weaning, chute-breaking, building trust."
Scarlet Floyd.
Toby, a former bull rider who first partnered with his college buddy, Brad Boyd, in Boyd & Floyd Bucking Bulls, gained a formidable partner when he married Scarlet.
"Toby's been involved in raising bucking bulls for about 25 years," says Scarlet. "My background's a bit different: I was a Marine Corps military police woman and martial arts instructor for eight years. I met Toby when I was stationed in San Antonio, and every weekend I would come help him with the bulls, helping feed, and learning the training process. I've been neck-deep in it ever since."
Scarlet stays involved with the bulls every step of the way. "I love watching the baby bulls," she says. "I study them from an early age and try to pick out the superstars. We participate in futurities (riderless bucking events for young bulls) such as the ABBI American Heritage, where we have to choose our bulls at six months and pay each quarter to stay registered until they are 2-year-olds. You can't make substitutions, and a lot can happen along the way." This past summer, one of her "picks" placed 7th in the Heritage.
Scarlet finds that having been a Marine martial arts instructor gives her an advantage in working so closely with the bulls. "It certainly helps to be light on your feet while working around these young bulls," she says. "They're scared; they don't yet understand what we're trying to teach them, so they can be a little aggressive, but that's only out of fear. I think I also have a little edge being a mother, as it's helped me to develop a strong empathy with these animals."

The Business of Bulls
Breeding, training, and providing bucking bulls to rodeos—especially to the Professional Bull Riders (PBR)—is a big business; one that can pay off handsomely for a stock contractor. While beef calves might sell for $600 or so, a well-bred performance calf can command upward of $5,000.
Viewership of bull-riding events has exploded in popularity since the PBR was first formed in 1992. In fact, the average CBS television broadcast of PBR draws more than one million viewers each event, sometimes out-rating sports such as PGA Golf and MLB. In-person attendance at PBR events has multiplied nearly tenfold since 1995, from 310,000 then to more than 3 million now.
Along with this increased popularity has come an appreciation that the bull rider isn't the only athlete in the arena. Thanks to legendary bulls such as Bushwacker, retired in 2014 with lifetime earnings of $600,000 and valued at $2 million, top-performing bucking bulls are spoken of with the reverence once reserved for Secretariat.

Floyd's Bucking Bulls has had its own rockstars: their bull Black Pearl won about $500,000 in his three-year career and sired Pearl Harbor, bred by the Floyds and owned by Chad Berger. Pearl Harbor was considered among the greats before his death as a 6-year-old from a blood clot in his brain earlier this year.
PBR boasts 216 stock contractors on its website, and women are increasingly joining the ranks. Some contractors, such as the Floyds, own all their own bulls; others, such as Mike and Christina Heald of Heald Pro Bulls, choose to partner with another stock contractor.
"We partner with Chad Berger," Christina Heald says, "who's the Seven-Time PBR Stock Contractor of the Year. Chad keeps our bulls for us, summering them in Mandan, North Dakota, and wintering them near Henrietta, Oklahoma."
Although Berger works with a number of different partners in addition to the Healds—including Julie Rosen, Connie Pagels, Brent and Margo Hazen, and Dave and Mary Miller—his "go-to" partner is his wife, Sarah, who assists in all facets of the business. The Berger's children, Lacey, John, and Sadie, also work for Chad Berger Bucking Bulls.

Grace and Grit
Although her father was a stock contractor and she started breeding her own bulls while still in high school, Tiffany Davis might have had other plans for her future than to become a stock contractor herself, but a cataclysmic twist of fate swept that all away in an instant.
In 1998, her fiancé Jerome Davis, one of PBR's founders and the 1995 World Champion Bull Rider, broke his neck in a Fort Worth competition. He would be paralyzed from the chest down. And although his doctor misjudged Tiffany as one of the 9 out of ten who would bolt from such tragedy, she defied those odds, and she and Jerome married just seven months after the accident and have not spent a night apart since. In addition to being Jerome's wife, she's also his primary caregiver and business partner.
Today, the couple's Davis Rodeo Ranch Livestock in Archdale, North Carolina, raises quality bucking bulls for the next generation of riders, producing PBR standout Superfreak, winner of the 2008 ABBI American Heritage and its $96,000 purse. Still, the event closest to Tiffany's heart is the one-day Christian Junior Rodeo they host at their ranch that draws as many as 500 youths from a dozen or more states.
As Tiffany related to the Asheboro, North Carolina, Courier Tribune a few years back, "One of the things I thought when Jerome got hurt was, 'Why Jerome? He's one of the good guys—he was good for God to have out there as a bull rider.' I didn't understand it at first, but as my faith has grown, I can see how many more people he's probably helped by being in the wheelchair and inspiring people than if he'd went off and won another two or three gold buckles. I can step back and see that now."
In recognition of her contributions to the bull-riding community, PBR named her as the inaugural recipient of the Sharon Shoulders Award in 2010. The award, named for the wife of legendary bull rider Jim Shoulders, recognizes women whose contributions to the sport of bull riding have been as great as the riders themselves.
So the next time you attend—or view— a PBR event, train your eyes behind the chutes: You just may spot one of these gals or another woman stock contractor speaking in soothing tones to the nearly one-ton muscled athlete coiled like a spring behind the gate.
"They're like members of our families," says Scarlet Floyd, in summary. "Our bulls are not just tools or the means to an end. We take care of them and they take care of us."

PBR and ABBI
Professional Bull Riders was founded in 1992 by 20 bull riders who each contributed $1,000 to a shared dream: Make bull riding a standalone sport outside of traditional rodeo. Today, PBR's branded "The Toughest Sport on Dirt" has become one of the fastest-growing franchises in the history of sports, with PBR broadcasts reaching more than 400 million households in 130 territories..
Among those broadcasts is its weekly 25th PBR: Unleash The Beast, a series of bull riding competitions held in major national venues with the pulsating soundtracks, pyrotechnics, and fast-paced production values rivaling any rock concert. PBR's elite series culminates in the richest bull riding event on earth, 25th PBR World Finals: Unleash The Beast in Las Vegas, with the winner receiving a $1 million bonus.
Christina Heald.
Currently, the PBR membership roster includes more than 1000 bull riders from the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand, and Mexico.
Recognizing the importance that bucking bulls bring to its events, PBR, along with forward-thinking stock contractors, formed American Bucking Bull, Inc., (ABBI) in 2003 by acquiring the Rodeo Stock Registry (RSR), and building its DNA registry on top of that database. ABBI's goal was not only to preserve the genetics of these bovine athletes, but to create standalone events in which bucking bulls could be judged on their own merits, regardless of how their riders performed.

Prior to the success of ABBI, the top money a bucking bull could earn was $20,000 as World Champion Bucking Bull. Today, bulls can earn upward of a half-million dollars as 2-to-4-year-olds competing in ABBI events. First place alone in ABBI's American Heritage comes with a $100,000 cash prize.
ABBI is owned 50/50 by PBR and a group of stock contractors, united in the goal of preserving and promoting "America's Original Extreme Sport."

Rt. Hon. Eric Mackay, 7th Lord Reay
Partner in the 1790s in the London merchant firm of George Baillie & Co., with George Baillie, Robert Lang, John Turing and Nathaniel Snell (each of whom q.v.) between 1793 and 1800, and then in Lang, Turing until 1805. The firm's business was guaranteeing the sale of 'slave-cargoes', i.e. accepting the bills issued by slave-factors and slave-purchasers in the Caribbean and thereby providing secure payment to slave-traders in Britain, and taking in consignments of produce from the slave-purchasers to complete the cycle of credit. The firm broke up acrimoniously c. 1800. Awarded the compensation for Goldstone Hall in British Guiana, which he had purchased 01/01/1830 from William Fraser of Goldstone Hall (q.v.). In his will in 1847 he secured several annuities for his family and other individuals on the estate.
Son of George Mackay of Skibo (bankrupt 1782) and inheritor from his cousin Hugh Mackay of the title of Lord Reay and the family estates in Sutherland.
Reay went through a significant financial restructuring in the 1820s, which appears to have coincided with or immediately preceded his purchase of Goldstone Hall.
Purchased Pitzhanger Manor in Ealing, which had been largely rebuilt by Sir John Soane 1801-1802, in 1832.
The "faithful and well beloved Eric Lord Reay" was the second signatory on the Petition sent to George III seeking permission for the establishment of Tain Royal Academy in the Royal Burgh of Tain, Ross-shire in 1807. The subscribers each paid £50 or upwards towards the cost of erecting, building & endowing the school.
Will of the Right Honourable Eric Baron Reay (made 16/03/1842) was proved 11/10/1847. He bequeathed monetary legacies for a few hundred pounds but left Goldstone Hall in trust to John Abel Smith, Martin Tucker Smith (two of the Smith, Payne & Smith banking family) and the West India merchants Duncan and William Davidson, with the instruction that they should 'provide a sufficient labourers, stock and cattle for the cultivation thereof', in order to secure annuities of: £300 p.a. jointly to his sisters the Honourable Mary Mackay and the Honourable Anne Mackay; £100 p.a. to his brother Hugh Donald Mackay; £50 p.a. to Catharine Holcroft formerly Catharine North for the lives of her two sisters (he had apparently previously secured an annuity on his bond to Catharine Holcroft); £100 p.a. to Martha Pakham widow of Capt. Pakham late of the Ceylon Regiments; £100 p.a. to Sarah Lycott; and then after the decease of his [illegitimate] daughter Dame Erica Catharine Farquhar (the wife of Sir Walter Minto Townsend Farquhar), Goldstone Hall was to pass to her children. The will directed that the produce of Goldstone Hall should be consigned to Davidson Barkly or whatever house in which Duncan and William Davidson were engaged as partner. In a codicil dated the same day as his will (16/03/1842), Reay added William Fraser of the East India merchant firm Magniac Jardine of Lombard Street as executor.
David Alston, Slaves & Highlanders http://www.spanglefish.com/slavesandhighlanders/index.asp?pageid=536858 [accessed 28/04/2015].
The Reay estate was sold to the Marquis of Stafford in 1829 - Stafford had lent Reay £100,000 in 1825, Times 23/02/1829 p. 3; Times 25/10/1831 p. 2: 'We understand' that the Marquis of Stafford has purchased the Estate of Reay for £300,000. Lord Reay and 4 other noble pensioners gave up pensions amounting to £2609 4s 6d per annum.

Volo Makes Offer For Bubba Watson's General Lee
The Daily Herald is reporting that the Volo Auto Museum's director, Brian Grams, has been trying to contact Bubba Watson to make an offer on LEE1. Watson has stated he will paint over the confederate flag on the roof with an American flag. The museum, which already owns General Lee #8, has no interest in political debate over the flag, but does have a keen interest in preserving the car, flag and all, as a piece of television history. If successful in their bid to obtain LEE1, the museum plans to display it along side Lee #8, with a description of the significance of the two cars. Let's hope they're successful in their plans!

On 17th December 2014, the Clevedon Woodcutters for Wildlife, after consultation with North Somerset Council, set out to clear the dense growth of scrub that had accumulated over many years at the western end of Marine Lake. Their work was one small step towards the realisation of a major Marine Lake project.
Clevedon's Marine Lake restoration project, which arose from the urgent need to repair the lake's leaking seawall, was led by North Somerset Council and the Marine Lake Enthusiasts (MARLENS). It received initial support from the Heritage Lottery Fund in 2012 for a survey to be carried out. In 2014 the project was awarded a substantial grant from the HLF to cover a comprehensive refurbishment of the whole lake area.
A prerequisite to receiving any grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund is a certain percentage in match-funding from the applicants. The practical contributions of volunteer organisations and individuals can be given a monetary value that can be included in this sum. The Woodcutters were pleased to play an active part in helping provide this match-funding in this project.
The Woodcutters initially cleared back the vegetation to give project contractors full access to the lake-side promenade, and they also pledged to undertake follow-up scrub control after the lake's refurbishment was complete.
A second clearing session on 7th January 2015 brought total volunteer hours on site to 53.
North Somerset Council contractors later disposed of the cut branches using a chipper, reduced tree stumps with a chainsaw, did some further trimming and erected a temporary safety barrier around the view point (photos below).
On 15th January 2015 the Friends of Poets' Walk followed up work by the Woodcutters and North Somerset Council contractors by cleaning and sweeping the access paths to Marine Lake and the path above to the Lookout (photo right). Volunteer hours 20.


The cold snaps mean higher power bills as we snuggle up in front of heating to keep warm but there are easy ways to lower your power bill without compromising on comfort, according to EECA Energywise.
Technical expert Christian Hoerning says recent research* indicates there are still about 12 million incandescent light bulbs in New Zealand homes – which, if replaced with energy efficient bulbs would reduce household energy bills.
Mr Hoerning says the price of LED bulbs has dropped dramatically.
Hot water is another area where people can make serious savings, according to Mr Hoerning. He says the research, carried out by BRANZ, shows about 46% of houses surveyed had showers with high flow rates.
If your shower fills a 10 litre bucket in less than a minute, it's wasting water, Mr Hoerning says. He advises inserting a low-cost shower flower restrictor or getting a new, efficient shower head.
Use cold washes - unless you have an especially dirty load. Modern washing machines and detergents clean well using cold water. A hot water wash can use 10 times more electricity than a cold wash.
If you have a heated towel rail, only use it when needed. A heated towel rail left on 24/7 can cost you $170 per year to run. You can buy timers for towel rails that come on automatically at certain times of the day.
If you have a second fridge only to chill a few drinks, it could cost you $200 a year to run if it's an old, inefficient model. Consider turning it off or getting rid of it.

In a clear signal that India is Apple's next growth market, Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer Foxconn's Chairman Terry Gou said, here on Monday, the company would begin mass production of iPhones in India this year.
"To start with, it makes sense for Apple to localise assembling of models that have the potential to scale up and then slowly expand it to the entire portfolio," Tarun Pathak, Associate Director at Hong Kong-based Counterpoint Research, told IANS.
"Importantly, Foxconn will be assembling the most expensive models, such as devices in the flagship iPhone X family, potentially taking Apple's business in India to a new level," reported CNBC.
Giving an impetus to its India manufacturing plans, Apple in March started the assembling of iPhone 7 at its other supplier Wistron's facility in Bengaluru. Taiwanese industrial major Wistron assembles iPhone 6S in the country.
Apple has begun reducing the price of iPhones in China and may go the same way in India where the iPhone is considered expensive. It is also seeking tax relief and other incentives to begin assembling more handsets and open its branded stores in India.


As much as i love being able to do a little circle of all the fields when it is in pygros, It doesn't make it to much fun for the civs when cops are always going to be patrolling the areas because of how close they are.
A majority of people wanted it, plus they added a sign so cops cannot just stay on stairs and quick peek the roof. With the new staircase you can still very much so watch the funnel of cops that come up the stairs from the roof.
I want to hear what others think of the sign at prison, that for those who don't know allow only civs to teleport back into the courtyard. My own opinion I do not think it should be allowed to be active during a prison in which rebels can jump down and teleport right behind you and most of the time end up killing the cops pushing in.
@Pizza Man The Apd menu looks amazing works well! very Nice JOb!

CIF (Cost, ) and CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid To) set out new standard insurance arrangements, but the level of insurance continues to be negotiable between buyer and seller.
Where listed, cost allocation between buyer and seller is stated more precisely - one article lists all costs the seller and the buyer are responsible for.

CIP now requires as default insurance coverage ICC A or equivalent. It was ICC C under Incoterms® 2010. Required insurance coverage under CIF remains.
EXW - Ex Works
Ex WORKS (EXW) means that the seller delivers the goods to the buyer when it places the goods at the disposal of the buyer at a named place (like a factory or warehouse), and that named place may or may not be the seller's premises. For delivery to occur, the seller does not need to load the goods on any collecting vehicle, nor does it need to clear the goods for export, where such clearance is applicable.
FCA - Free Carrier
FREE CARRIER (FCA) means that the seller delivers the goods to the buyer in one or other of two ways:
First, when the named place is the seller's premises, the goods are delivered when they are loaded on the means of transport arranged by the buyer.
Second, when the named place is another place, the goods are delivered when, having been loaded on the seller's means of transport, they reach the named other place and are ready for unloading from that seller's means of transport and at the disposal of the carrier or of another person nominated by the buyer. Whichever of the two is chosen as the place of delivery, that place identifies where risk transfers to the buyer and the time from which costs are for the buyer's account.
CPT - Carriage Paid To
CARRIAGE PAID TO (CPT) means that the seller delivers the goods – and transfers the risk - to the buyer by handing them over to the carrier contracted by the seller or by procuring the goods so delivered. The seller may do so by giving the carrier physical possession of the goods in the manner and at the place appropriate to the means of transport used. Once the goods have been delivered to the buyer in this way, the seller does not guarantee that the goods will reach the place of destination in sound condition, in the stated quantity or indeed at all. This is because risk transfers from seller to buyer when the goods are delivered to the buyer by handing them over to the carrier; the seller must nonetheless contract for the carriage of the goods from delivery to the agreed destination.
CIP - Carriage and Insurance Paid To
CARRIAGE AND INSURANCE PAID TO (CIP) means that the seller delivers the goods – and transfers the risk - to the buyer by handing them over to the carrier contracted by the seller or by procuring the goods so delivered. The seller may do so by giving the carrier physical possession of the goods in the manner and at the place appropriate to the means of transport used. Once the goods have been delivered to the buyer in this way, the seller does not guarantee that the goods will reach the place of destination in sound condition, in the stated quantity or indeed at all. This is because risk transfers from seller to buyer when the goods are delivered to the buyer by handing them over to the carrier; the seller must nonetheless contract for the carriage of the goods from delivery to the agreed destination.
DAP - Delivered at Place
DELIVERED AT PLACE (DAP) means that the seller delivers the goods – and transfers risk - to the buyer when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving means of transport ready for unloading at the named place of destination or at the agreed point within that place, if any such point is agreed. The seller bears all risks involved in bringing the goods to the named place of destination or to the agreed point within that place. In this Incoterms rule, therefore, delivery and arrival at destination are the same.
DPU - Delivered at Place Unloaded
DELIVERED AT PLACE UNLOADED (DPU) means that the seller delivers the goods – and transfers risk - to the buyer when the goods, once unloaded from the arriving means of transport, are placed at the disposal of the buyer at a named place of destination or at the agreed point within that place, if any such point is agreed. The seller bears all risks involved in bringing the goods to and unloading them at the named place of destination. In this Incoterms rule, therefore, the delivery and arrival at destination are the same. DPU is the only Incoterms rule that requires the seller to unload goods at destination. The seller should therefore ensure that it is in a position to organize unloading at the named place. Should the parties intend the seller not to bear the risk and cost of unloading, the DPU rule should be avoided and DAP should be used instead.
DDP – Delivered Duty Paid
DELIVERED DUTY PAID (DDP) means that the seller delivers the goods to the buyer when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer, cleared for import, on the arriving means of transport, ready for unloading, at the named place of destination or at the agreed point within that place, if any such point is agreed. The seller bears all risks involved in bringing the goods to the named place of destination or to the agreed point within that place. In this Incoterms rule, therefore, delivery and arrival at destination are the same.
FAS - Free Alongside Ship
FREE ALONGSIDE SHIP (FAS) means that the seller delivers the goods to the buyer when the goods are placed alongside the ship (e.g. on a quay or a barge) nominated by the buyer at the named port of shipment or when the seller procures goods already so delivered. The risk of loss of or damage to the goods transfers when the goods are alongside the ship, and the buyer bears all costs from that moment onward.
FOB - Free on Board
FREE ON BOARD (FOB) means that the seller delivers the goods to the buyer on board the vessel nominated by the buyer at the named port of shipment or procures the goods already so delivered. The risk of loss of or damage to the goods transfers when the goods are on board the vessel, and the buyer bears all costs from that moment onwards.
CFR - Cost and Freight
COST AND FREIGHT (CFR) means that the seller delivers the goods to the buyer on board the vessel or procures the goods already so delivered. The risk of loss of or damage to the goods transfers when the goods are on board the vessel, such that the seller is taken to have performed its obligation to deliver the goods whether or not the goods actually arrive at their destination in sound condition, in the stated quantity or, indeed, at all. In CFR, the seller owes no obligation to the buyer to purchase insurance cover: the buyer would be well-advised therefore to purchase some cover for itself.
CIF - Cost, Insurance and Freight
COST INSURANCE AND FREIGHT (CIF) means that the seller delivers the goods to the buyer on board the vessel or procures the goods already so delivered. The risk of loss of or damage to the goods transfers when the goods are on board the vessel, such that the seller is taken to have performed its obligation to deliver the goods whether or not the goods actually arrive at their destination in sound condition, in the stated quantity or, indeed, at all.

AutoHotkey plus Chrome Launcher, a perfect match!
I use AutoHotkey plus Chrome Launcher. In fact, I absolutely LOVE the new Chrome launcher! I also love my #chromebook, but on my Windows desktop I can't just tap the dedicated search key to access it. Here comes #autohotkey to the rescue.
I will explain how to setup the Win + Spacebar combo to open the Chrome Launcher using AutoHotkey. This command will add the win+spacebar as the shortcut key to the Chrome Launcher.
Why would you want to do this? Well, personally I love key combinations, in fact you can perform just about every task you would ever need to perform in Windows just by using the keyboard. When you get the hang of them, they can greatly speed up your time performing some pretty mundane tasks. Key bindings like this are pretty useful for quickly accessing the menu, for example, I also use Launchy, and have it bound to alt+spacebar, so it is a familiar key combination, hopefully I won't get them mixed up all the time! This will make AutoHotkey plus Chrome Launcher, a great pair, like Peanut Butter and Jelly.
Where do I get AutoHotkey?
Enough, AutoHotkey plus Chrome Launcher was promised, on to the command already!
Here is the command to open the #chrome launcher. Put this in your AuthHotkey.ahk file that opens on initial installation.
What if I don't have a 64bit system?
It still doesn't work, what now?
If it doesn't work, right-click on the launcher icon, choose Properties and copy the command line to open it. You know, if you still can't get it going, please drop me a line at https:/google.com/+JessePerry and I can help you out.
That is it, that is AutoHotkey plus Chrome Launcher, I hope you enjoy it half as much as I do.
What does the App Launcher give you that the chrome omni box (address) doesn't? I am used to just switching to chrome and searching that way..
It just give the ability to hit alt+spacebar (or any key combination you choose) to bring up the launcher, regardless of what application you are in, much the way Launchy does.

15-Year-Old Gabby Goodwin Opens The Doors To Her First Storefront After Eight Years In Business
Shanique Yates. Dec 6, 2021.
Gabby Goodwin continues to climb the ladder to success as a budding, young entrepreneur!
As previously reported by AfroTech, Goodwin has been on a mission to encourage confidence in young women through her haircare accessory line GaBBY Bows. Following the success of the accessory line, she decided to take things a step further with a haircare line, Confidence by Gabby Goodwin.
Per reports by WISTV, the brand has opened its doors to the Midlands community where they will sell hair products as well as offer a salon for young women to get their hair done! She has even launched a mentorship program around the store that will equip young girls with all that they need to become entrepreneurs.
A post shared by Confidence®CEO – GaBBY Bows (@gabbybows)
Gabby has been a business owner since the age of seven as the visionary and mastermind behind the first patented and non-slip double-face double-snap barrette that she helped to create thanks to the guidance of her mother, Rozalynn Goodwin.
Today, at 15-years-old, Gabby's Confidence brand continues to reach new heights as a global brand that also offers GaBBY Bows, plant-based haircare products, and business mentorship programs.
"We have hair products and boxes and books and just different products to make wash day easier and to help girls feel inspired and confident in themselves," said Gabby in an interview with WISTV.
The Storefront
Since the launch of her business, Goodwin has always wanted to have a storefront and now that dream is a reality.
As a family-owned company, the physical storefront is a step toward upward mobility for the brand.
"It's a level of validation," said Goodwin's father, Mike Goodwin. "Folks can actually come by and buy the products."
He also shares how much of an impact Gabby has on the community simply by going after her dreams at such a young age.
"It causes folks of all ages to say, 'Wow if that little girl can do that, I can do it also,'" Mike continued. "'Let me blow the dust off my journals and the dreams I had.'"
As her business continues to grow, Gabby has plans to recruit more young girls interested in entrepreneurship along the way.
If you're in the area, check out the storefront at 3525 Bush River Road in Columbia, SC.

Gigantification: How We Stupidified Ourselves
Written by Hilary White
In every area of life in which we're doing insanely stupid and self-destructive things, it seems that the main cause of our increased stupidity has been the sudden introduction in the last century and a half of technologies that are intended to make things "easier". Mechanisation and the introduction of artificial fertilisers was supposed to make farming easier. And for a while it did. We solved the food problem, at least mostly, and for a certain value of "solved".
Now if we have a famine it mostly happens in places where the natural, social and political structures supporting agriculture are more fragile (Africa) and where political upheavals, that ancient cause of famine, have made transport of food in difficult times - eg: prolonged drought - impossible. In other words, a place like Ethiopia already has enough climate, soil and water issues for farmers to deal with; add a civil war and unscrupulous political criminals, gangs of thugs kidnapping children to be soldiers, and you've overwhelmed the system, given it more to deal with than it can handle, and it collapses. The huge movements of Ethiopians into refugee camps for famine relief that we all remember from the mid-80s turned out not to be so much a problem of not enough food, but the disruption of agriculture and transport systems by warlords – who, by the way, stole much of what was sent by us western do-gooders.
But that damn law of unintended consequences...
We're starting to see some insidious and accelerating problems with the way we do our mass, mechanised food production, and depletion of soil fertility is probably the biggest. The move to more Bigness in every area of human endeavour, the Gigantification of life - globalisation this, mass production that, mechanisation the other thing - has created a whole set of problems that no one seems to have any bright ideas to solve. And they're going to get worse the more we re-engineer our society to fit the needs of the machines.
Noteworthy: after things settled down after the "fall" of the Roman Empire, there were few serious or prolonged famines in European history (though we went through a bad patch in the 12th century it seems) before the advent of complex (and hugely expensive) steam or gasoline-powered farm machinery and artificial fertilisers/pest/herbicides. The famines we did have were mostly due to the same things that cause famines today: extreme weather events we have no control over – strings of very dry winters or a few years of late frosts or too-cold or too-dry growing seasons – combined with the disruption of agriculture and transport by wars. (William the Conquerer created an artificial famine to drive the Danes out of the north of England by burning farms.) It was never lack of knowledge of the land or how to grow food. Medieval peasants, far from being ignorant muck-rakers, knew what they were about. Their descendants in Italy - the contadini - still know that stuff.
My landlady, Annamaria, is a contadina with deep, deep roots in this place. She has been teaching me all the contadina things. She's taught me what time to plant what, and how the phases of the moon can guide your planting and harvesting. When and how to prune grape vines, fig, plum and pear trees. What kind of carrots you can grow in clay soil (short stubby ones). Today I wanted to clip my grass but discovered my hedge trimmers were busted. She took one look, took them into her big magical garage-of-all-things and ten minutes later handed me my trimmers back in full working order.
But it seems that since the advent of mechanised farming (mass-production of food on the huge scale you see in North America) we've straight-up forgotten the small intimate details of how to do anything. All that about soil management and all the little things that made medieval agriculture work is all gone. Who needs to think about replenishing natural soil nutrients or maintaining the substructure if you've got machines and bags of fertiliser, amirite?
And that doesn't even get into the problems we've created in the loss of diversity in food plant varieties. One of the first things you notice when you come to Italy is that they eat here a much wider range of fruit and vegetables than you'd ever find in an Anglo supermarket in the US, Canada or Britain. It's normal for Italians to grow their own salads, and they all know there are a dozen different kinds of lettuce and salad-things. How many North American shoppers know that there are hundreds of different kinds of brassicas? We eat broccoli and cauliflower - and only one type of each, and, perhaps more importantly, have no idea that there are other things.
When you come to Italy you have to learn what are (and how to cook, and whether you like) bietole, cime di rapa, cicoria, Romanesco broccoli or cavolfiori rosso, (it's cauliflower, but it's purple!). The dozen-odd different kinds of leafy veg the Italians eat all narrow down, in Angloland, to... spinach. And the same kind of spinach for everyone from coast to coast. Funny isn't it, that the Gigantification of production has resulted in the ensmallifying of everything produced.
The Gigantification of life, the doing of everything on a massive and unimaginably distant scale, is all said to be in aid of "saving us labour." But what have we saved all this labour for? So we can live in suburbs and drive cars to go work at a desk doing something that has nothing whatever to do with our own life. So we can forget how do to anything ourselves? It may have saved us all labour but it has also left us with nothing Real to do. What are we saving our labour for? What do most of us do with the time we don't spend weeding a kitchen garden or making beer or milking cows? Have we separated ourselves from the sources of our life only so we can spend more time watching TV? Scrolling Facebook? Arguing for hours over nothing on Twitter? Are we holier? More learned? More enlightened? Do we write poetry and play music? Do we even know any poetry?
It certainly does mean that you don't have to make your own socks or grow anything yourself, or really do much of anything. But why is this a good thing? Everything is now done for you on this titanic scale and at unimaginable distances from your house or flat. But the result is that now, not only does no one know how to knit a sock or grow a cabbage, we don't know even how to darn a sock or cook a cabbage.
And of course, though we may not have noticed, the whole thing takes all decisions about the details of our day to day life out of our hands. We can't decide today to have bietole and cavolo nero for dinner because someone else, someone we will never meet, has decided for us that these things will never be grown on the Monsanto-Giganto-farm, or ever appear in our shops.
No one complains that there are so few different kinds of things to eat because no one remembers a time when there was anything in the shops but one kind of broccoli and one kind of cauliflower. How many different varieties of apple can you name in fifteen seconds? Did you know that there used to be hundreds of different kinds of apples? And that everyone used to know them? One of the things that has come from Gigantification has been a mass-forgetting, the memory-holing of life, the diminution and impoverishment of a great richness and variety in life and experience that has all been mechanised and mass-produced away. So we can commute to work.
The Gigantification of production, of everything we need or use in life, has made us careless, forgetful, lazy and bored - stupid, in other words - because it's easier. We bought into it all because it's easier to buy a pair of socks made in China than to knit by the fireside. We only eat the one kind of broccoli that MassoGigantoFarmCorp allows us to buy because we have forgotten that food isn't some magical thing provided by far-away, unseen, unknowable powers. Food doesn't come from Monsanto or the government. It comes out of the ground if you plant a seed.
It just seems that every time we change things from doing things at the micro level - that is, the local, and manageable by ordinary people with regular means - to the macro level - things on such a huge scale they can be done only by governments or huge corporations with enormous national-scale resources - we render ourselves functionally helpless and dependent on systems we have no control over. And we create terrible, growing problems that we can't solve, except by doing more of the huge-scale things that caused the problems in the first place.
All this stuff about natural preservation and use of soil was known to farmers of the Middle Ages and before, and has since largely been forgotten. It's a funny thing that in so many important ways we've become much, much stupider since the "Enlightenment." It's part of the function of the Enstupidment that we don't know how much we've forgotten. We've forgotten that we ever knew it.
I recently asked someone what "distributism" really means. In brief, I think it mostly means this:
It means the re-ensmallification of life. The rejection of Gigantification. It's knitting a sock, or even darning a sock. It's growing a cabbage and cooking and eating it. Or at least knowing how.

It's not often we let out a squeal of delight upon hearing of voodoo inspired furniture, but the folk at TOG have done it, combining unique design with a fair smattering of function – we give you the TOG Vodo Masko children's desk and stool!
It's a totem pole meets voodoo mask style that is more endearing than scary! TOG Vodo Masko designer Ambroise Maggiar is mesmerisingly clever in creating these furniture pieces in perfect rotating single moulds (watch the rotomould video on the TOG website), each piece an artwork in its own right, in true TOG design style.
A playful take on art, the Vodo Masko kids table and stool leads an impressive double life. At first glance, it's simply a contemporary table and stool, but flip them over onto their side and the voodoo faces are revealed – horns, teeth, beady eyes and all! If space is of an issue, these look fantastic hanging on the wall when not in use – and they're light enough to do so!
TOG Vodo Masko table is available in three colours and is priced £127 and the Vodo Masko stool, £84.90. You'll find both pieces at Made In Design. Shipping to Australia is available.

Rookery Nook is a 1930 film farce, directed by Tom Walls, with a script by Ben Travers. It is a screen adaptation of the original 1926 Aldwych farce of the same title. The film was known in the U.S. as One Embarrassing Night.

The film was very successful at the box office and led to a series of filmed farces.

Synopsis
Rhoda Marley seeks refuge overnight from a tyrannical stepfather in the house of Gerald Popkiss. He is alone there, as his wife is away; fearing a scandal he attempts to conceal Rhoda's presence from nosy domestic staff and his in-laws, with the help of his cousin Clive. Eventually all is explained, Gerald and his wife are reconciled, and Clive pairs off with Rhoda.

Cast
Gerald Popkiss – Ralph Lynn*
Clive Popkiss – Tom Walls*
Rhoda Marley  – Winifred Shotter*
Mrs Leverett – Mary Brough*
Harold Twine – Robertson Hare*
Gertrude Twine – Ethel Coleridge*
Putz  – Griffith Humphreys*
Poppy Dickey – Doreen Bendix
Clara Popkiss – Margot Grahame
Source: British Film Institute
Cast members marked * were the creators of the roles in the original stage production.

Production
The film was one of a very small number of productions made by Herbert Wilcox's British and Dominions Film Corporation in association with His Master's Voice ("The Gramophone Company", later EMI). The film used the cast of the original stage production.  HMV terminated its association with British & Dominions in 1931 out of concern that the company's participation in producing comedy films such as Rookery Nook and Splinters would demean its corporate image, of which it was very protective during the early days of the Great Depression.

Reception
Rookery Nook was voted the best British movie of 1930.

According to one report, it was the most popular British film in Britain over the previous five years.

Bill Would Withhold Federal Funds From Schools With Irrational, Alarmist Idiots In Charge
By: Sam Rolley / Personal Liberty Digest
There has been no shortage of knee-jerk idiocy on the part of American educators in the months since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
Children have been kicked out of schools or disciplined for making gun gestures with their fingers, bringing water pistols or other toy guns to school, building Lego guns and even simply drawing pictures with guns in them.
Outside of the bureaucratically controlled brain trust that is the U.S. public education system, average Americans have rolled eyes and sighed at most of the aforementioned incidents. After all, it's child's play: cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians, soldiers.
Representative Steve Stockman (R-Texas) must also be tired of hearing about American educator pants wetting over plastic toys and hand gestures resembling firearms. He has introduced a bill that would protect the "harmless expressions of childhood play" and disallow educators to teach youngsters to "be afraid of inanimate objects that are shaped like guns."
The Student Protection Act, H.R. 2625, lists several incidents where children have been victimized by zero-tolerance gun policies on school grounds which make even references to guns or gun-like things illicit.
From the bill:
Congress finds:
(1) So-called `zero-tolerance' weapons policies in federally funded schools are being used to outlaw harmless expressions of childhood play.
(2) So-called `zero-tolerance' weapons policies in federally funded schools are being used to teach children to be afraid of inanimate objects that are shaped like guns.
(3) A school in Grand Island, Nebraska, this year demanded a three-year-old deaf boy in preschool change his name because its sign language expression resembles a gun.
(4) A seven-year-old Colorado boy was suspended for throwing an imaginary hand grenade.
(5) In Talbot County, Maryland, two six-year-old boys were suspended this year for shaping their fingers in the shape of guns while playing `cops and robbers' during recess.
(6) A 14-year-old in Kentucky was not only suspended from school this year for wearing an NRA T-shirt that said, `protect your right', but the principal called police to have him arrested.
(7) A six-year-old Palmer, Massachusetts, kindergartner who brought a plastic G.I. Joe Lego toy gun on a school bus was given detention and ordered to write a letter of apology to the bus driver and fellow student passengers.
(8) This government-sanctioned political correctness is traumatizing children and spreading irrational fear.
Stockman's proposal would dissuade school officials from spreading irrational fear about gun imagery by blocking Federal funds to any school that punishes students for a select list of activities:
(1) brandishing a pastry or other food which is partially consumed in such a way that the remnant resembles a gun;
(2) possession of a toy gun which is two inches or less;
(3) possession of a toy gun made of plastic snap together building blocks;
(4) using a finger or hand to simulate a gun;
(5) vocalizing imaginary firearms or munitions;
(6) wearing a T-shirt that supports Second Amendment rights;
(7) drawing a picture of, or possessing an image of, a firearm; or
(8) using a pencil, pen or other writing utensil to simulate a firearm.
The fact that a U.S. Representative feels that American educators need to be reminded that those activities are in no way dangerous ought to frighten anyone with a smidge of common sense.

Judicial Watch: DOJ Documents reveal Justice Department Organized Trevon Martin Protests
Bob Beauprez / Townhall Finance
Posted by Judicial Watch, July 10, 2013
http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/documents-obtained-by-judicial-watch-detail-role-of-justice-department-in-organizing-trayvon-martin-protests/
Document: DOJ Community Relations Service was deployed to Sanford, FL, "to provide technical assistance for the preparation of possible marches and rallies related to the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old African American male."
Washington, D.C. – Judicial Watch announced today that has obtained documents in response to local, state, and federal records requests revealing that a little-known unit of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Community Relations Service (CRS), was deployed to Sanford, FL, following the Trayvon Martin shooting to help organize and manage rallies and protests against George Zimmerman.
JW filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requested with the DOJ on April 24, 2012; 125 pages were received on May 30, 2012. JW administratively appealed the request on June 5, 2012, and received 222 pages more on March 6, 2013. According to the documents:
March 25 – 28, 2012, CRS spent $1,142.84 "in Sanford, FL to work marches, demonstrations, and rallies related to the shooting and death of an African-American teen by a neighborhood watch captain.
March 30 – April 1, 2012, CRS spent $892.55 in Sanford, FL "to provide support for protest deployment in Florida."
March 30 – April 1, 2012, CRS spent an additional $751.60 in Sanford, FL "to provide technical assistance to the City of Sanford, event organizers, and law enforcement agencies for the march and rally on March 31."
April 3 – 12, 2012, CRS spent $1,307.40 in Sanford, FL "to provide technical assistance, conciliation, and onsite mediation during demonstrations planned in Sanford."
April 11-12, 2012, CRS spent $552.35 in Sanford, FL "to provide technical assistance for the preparation of possible marches and rallies related to the fatal shooting of a 17 year old African American male." – expenses for employees to travel, eat, sleep?
From a Florida Sunshine Law request filed on April 23, 2012, JW received thousands of pages of emails on April 27, 2012, in which was found an email by Miami-Dade County Community Relations Board Program Officer Amy Carswell from April 16, 2012: "Congratulations to our partners, Thomas Battles, Regional Director, and Mildred De Robles, Miami-Dade Coordinator and their co-workers at the U.S. Department of Justice Community Relations Service for their outstanding and ongoing efforts to reduce tensions and build bridges of understanding and respect in Sanford, Florida" following a news article in the Orlando Sentinel about the secretive "peacekeepers."
In reply to that message, Battles said: "Thank you Partner. You did lots of stuff behind the scene to make Miami a success. We will continue to work together." He signed the email simply Tommy.
Carswell responded: "That's why we make the big bucks."
Set up under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the DOJ's CRS, the employees of which are required by law to "conduct their activities in confidence," reportedly has greatly expanded its role under President Barack Obama. Though the agency claims to use "impartial mediation practices and conflict resolution procedures," press reports along with the documents obtained by Judicial Watch suggest that the unit deployed to Sanford, FL, took an active role in working with those demanding the prosecution of Zimmerman.
On April 15, 2012, during the height of the protests, the Orlando Sentinelreported, "They [the CRS] helped set up a meeting between the local NAACP and elected officials that led to the temporary resignation of police Chief Bill Lee according to Turner Clayton, Seminole County chapter president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." The paper quoted the Rev. Valarie Houston, pastor of Allen Chapel AME Church, a focal point for protestors, as saying "They were there for us," after a March 20 meeting with CRS agents.
Separately, in response to a Florida Sunshine Law request to the City of Sanford, Judicial Watch also obtained an audio recording of a "community meeting" held at Second Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Sanford on April 19, 2012. The meeting, which led to the ouster of Sanford's Police Chief Bill Lee, was scheduled after a group of college students calling themselves the "Dream Defenders" barricaded the entrance to the police department demanding Lee be fired. According to the Orlando Sentinel, DOJ employees with the CRS had arranged a 40-mile police escort for the students from Daytona Beach to Sanford.
"These documents detail the extraordinary intervention by the Justice Department in the pressure campaign leading to the prosecution of George Zimmerman," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "My guess is that most Americans would rightly object to taxpayers paying government employees to help organize racially-charged demonstrations."
Pay Attention to Egypt
Michael Reagan / Townhall Columnist
Overseas the Arab Spring is turning into the Arab Nightmare that everyone but the Obama administration always saw coming.
At home the Obama Crew is fighting to socialize all of America's health care system, strangling the energy industry with new emissions regulations, and being exposed for ordering federal employees to spy on each other.
And what do our mainstream media think is the most important issue of the day?
The minute-by-minute play-by-play of the Zimmerman trial.
Yes sir, America.
Don't worry your little heads about the coming chaos in the Middle East. Or how the Obama administration's neutral position in the Egyptian coup is going to make it a virtual certainty Egypt will explode into a long and bloody religious civil war.
Don't worry about revelations that the federal government has been merrily intercepting our email, scanning the envelopes of our snail mail, and collecting communications data traveling on our undersea cables.
And don't worry about the weekly slaughter of dozens of young blacks by other young blacks in the streets of Chicago.
What the TV media think is really important to all of us is whether "white Hispanic" George Zimmerman killed a young black kid in self defense, as he says he did, or whether Zimmerman stalked and shot Trayvon Martin because he's a racist creep and a wanna-be cop.
It doesn't matter to the TV media what the evidence is. It doesn't even matter to them whether Zimmerman is guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter or nothing at all.
The TV media found the perfect white-on-black crime to exploit, and it exploited it to the max, stirring up racial passions and getting the ratings they wanted.
Of course, the TV media -- which have exaggerated the case far beyond its social or political importance -- are saying they sure hope an innocent verdict for Zimmerman doesn't create riots in the streets.
If riots come, you can bet the TV media will be on hand en masse to fan the flames -- and spike their ratings -- as long as they can.
The Zimmerman trial has been covered to death by TV, but there's little about the trial that's important to us in the long run.
It's a tragic -- and rare -- case that has been cynically milked and exploited by TV and professional race-baiters such as Al Sharpton.
What's important is what's happening in Egypt.
This Year's Duke Lacrosse Case
Ann Coulter / Townhall Columnist
This week, instead of attacking a Hispanic senator, Marco Rubio, I will defend a Hispanic citizen, George Zimmerman, on trial for the murder of Trayvon Martin. (Zimmerman would make a better senator.)
It's becoming painfully obvious why no charges were brought against Zimmerman in this case -- until Al Sharpton got involved. All the eyewitness accounts, testimony, ballistics and forensics keep backing up Zimmerman. We should send a big, fat bill for the whole thing to Sharpton, courtesy of MSNBC.
With the prosecution's witnesses making the defense's case, the inquisitors' last stand is to claim that, if the races were reversed, the black guy would have been instantly charged with murder. As explained in The New York Times:
"Had Mr. Martin shot and killed Mr. Zimmerman under similar circumstances, black leaders say, the case would have barreled down a different path: Mr. Martin would have been quickly arrested by the Sanford Police Department and charged in the killing, without the benefit of the doubt." (Also, CNN could have dropped the "white" and referred to Zimmerman exclusively as "Hispanic.")
The people who say this are counting on the rest of us being too polite to mention that it is nearly impossible to imagine such a case in a world where half of all murders and a majority of robberies are committed by blacks. To reverse the races with the same set of facts, first, we're going to need a gated, mixed-race community, similar to the Retreat at Twin Lakes, that has recently experienced a rash of robberies by white guys. The only way to do that is to enter "The Twilight Zone."
There were at least eight burglaries in the 14 months before Zimmerman's encounter with Martin. Numerous media accounts admit that "most" of these were committed by black males. I'm waiting to hear about a single crime at Twin Lakes that was not committed by a black male.
Just six months before Zimmerman's encounter with Martin, two men had broken into the home of a neighbor, Olivia Bertalan, while she was alone with her infant son. She had just enough time to call 911 before running upstairs and locking herself in a room. The burglars knew she was home, but proceeded to rob the place anyway, even trying to enter the locked room where she held her crying child.
Bertalan had seen the burglars just before they broke into her house -- one at the front door and one at the back. They were young black males. They lived in the Retreat by Twin Lakes.
In another case, a black teenager strode up to Zimmerman's house and, in broad daylight, stole a bicycle off the front porch. The bike was never recovered.
Weeks before Zimmerman saw Martin, he witnessed another young black male peering into the window of a neighbor's house. He called the cops, but by the time they arrived, the suspect was gone.
A few days later, another house was burglarized. The thieves made off with jewelry and a new laptop. Roofers working across the street had seen two black teenagers near the house at the time of the robbery. When they spotted one of the teens the next day, they called the police.
This time, the roofers followed the suspect so he wouldn't get away. The cops arrived and found the stolen laptop in his backpack. This was the same black teenager Zimmerman had seen looking in a neighbor's window.
The only reason it's hard to imagine the Zimmerman case with the races reversed is that it's hard to imagine a white teenager living in a mixed-race, middle-class community, mugging a black homeowner. This is not a problem of society's reactions, but of the facts.
There is, however, at least one case of a black homeowner fatally shooting a white troublemaker. He was not charged with murder.
In 2006, the ironically named John White was sound asleep at his nice Long Island home when his teenage son woke him to say there was a mob of white kids shouting epithets in front of the house. The family was in no imminent danger. They could have called 911 and remained safely behind locked doors.
But White grabbed a loaded Beretta and headed out to the end of the driveway to confront the mob. A scuffle ensued and White ended up shooting one of the kids in the face, killing him.
White was charged and convicted only of illegal weapons possession -- this was New York, after all -- and involuntary manslaughter. He was sentenced to 20 months-to-four years in prison, but after serving five months was pardoned by Gov. David Paterson.
With all due compassion for the kid who was killed, the public was overwhelmingly on the father's side -- a fact still evident in Internet postings about the case. The kids were punks menacing a law-abiding homeowner. Even the prosecutor complained only that Paterson hadn't called the victim's family first. The local NAACP had campaigned aggressively on White's behalf. There were no threats to riot in case of an acquittal.
The centerpiece of White's self-defense argument was his recollection of his grandfather's stories about the Ku Klux Klan. George Zimmerman's memory of young black males committing crimes at Twin Lakes is somewhat more recent.
John White wasn't jumped, knocked to the ground, repeatedly punched, and his skull knocked against the ground. He wasn't even touched, though he claimed the white teen was lunging at him. Talk about no reason to "follow," there was no reason for him to leave the safety of his locked home. White's son knew the kids by name. They could have waited for the cops.
So, yes, this case probably would be very different if Zimmerman and Martin's races were reversed. It is only when the victim is black that we must have a show trial, a million-dollar reward paid to the victim's parents and the threat of riots.
House and Senate Intelligence panel members vote to block Obama from arming Syrian jihadis, but Obama going to arm them anyway
Obama quickly moving to stifle this outbreak of common sense in Washington. "Intelligence panels cut off aid to Syrian rebels by restricting funds," by Julian Pecquet and Jeremy Herb for The Hill, July 9 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
House and Senate Intelligence panel members have voted to block President Obama from arming Syrian rebels, committee insiders told The Hill. They did so by placing severe restrictions on funding.
Lawmakers made their decision last month for fear that the administration plan would let weapons fall into the hands of terrorist groups, such as the many linked to al Qaeda.
The exact nature of the restrictions is unknown because the committees voted privately on the basis of classified information. What is known is that the restrictions are sufficient to prevent the administration from delivering arms as planned, according to a source familiar with the actions.
The committee "voted to allow them to make some movement on this, but it's restricted," said one Senate panel insider, who declined to elaborate on the total aid or the restrictions added by the Intelligence panels, which both met again on Tuesday. "It was a very restrictive amount."
Administration officials stopped shy of saying that the efforts had thwarted the effort to arm rebel groups, but said it certainly didn't make it easier.
"They're raising a lot of questions without having alternative answers," said one senior administration official.
"Whatever we do, we have to make sure we do it right," Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday.
"If we are going to arm, we have to make sure we have control of what arms are out there and how people are trained to use those arms so they don't fall into the hands of our enemy al Qaeda," Ruppersberger said.
Ruppersberger would not discuss what actions his committee had taken, but said that they were providing oversight.
"We have funding oversight, and that's part of the checks and balances," he said.
The administration has pushed to sell its plan to lawmakers in Congress, and Secretary of State John Kerry and Vice President Biden both briefed the panels in June on the administration's plans in Syria....
White House press secretary Jay Carney did not discuss the reasons behind the congressional delays over the aid on Tuesday, but said it was coming nonetheless.
"In keeping with the president's announcement of our stepped-up assistance to the [Syrian opposition's] Supreme Military Council, we are going to consult with Congress on these matters, and we intend to provide that stepped-up assistance," Carney said at Tuesday's White House briefing. "We were not bluffing. The president was very serious, as I think he made clear."
The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...so help me God
The truth…thanks to Barack HUSSEN Obama and the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, Louis Farrakhan and a host of other 'supposed' black leaders, race relations in our country have been set back 50 or more years, and the newest ground zero for this setback is the George Zimmerman murder trial.
The whole truth…by making Trayvon Martin the center point for this group of white-hating bigots who are being aided and abetted by an in-the-pocket for Obama media, race became the focal point and changed the equation in a simple 'stand your ground' self-defense case turning it into a trial about manufactured and manipulated racial hatred.
And nothing but the truth…American jurisprudence and the words 'and justice for all' have become twisted and perverted as healed over old racial wounds have been ripped open to expose a new breed of hatred that's pitting black against white in a case staged for political theater…political theater as Obama and his minions stoke these new racial tensions to exploit this case to a crisis level that never should have been.
So help me God…Barack "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon Martin" HUSSEIN Obama butt into something he had NO business butting into, jumping on the racial 'hate whitey' bandwagon led by these blacks 'of name' whose own moral characters have been called into question over the years, as they forced a case to go public that NEVER should have been in the public venue to begin with…forced a case to be about race that was NEVER about race and now is all about race.
The George Zimmerman case is in reality a simple case of self-defense ('Stand Your Ground') but sadly in today's America we are letting a small, vocal, militant, black minority tarnish the gains and respect the vast majority of Americans who happen to be black (NO hyphenated Americans for me) have made over the years, as they cry out in angry hate-filled voices that another white man murdered yet another innocent black child for what they perceive as for NO reason other than he was black.
And a liberal, bleeding heart, white judge like Judge Debra Nelson, who outwardly and unabashedly sides with the above mentioned vile ilk and the prosecution, helps in perpetrating this new racial divide either out of personal fear or just out of shear cowardice in being afraid of the repercussions that small, vocal, militant, black minority might do if Zimmerman is found innocent…as in doing what they always do when they don't get their way…taking to the streets and rioting because, in this case, how dare that white man be found innocent even if he is innocent.
The simple fact is that George Zimmerman is being railroaded to appease and diffuse this small, vocal, militant, black minority as ruling after ruling by this judge do NOT allow the true character of Trayvon Martin to be called into evidence, yet George Zimnerman's character, perceived motives, and supposed (but untrue) racism is heralded at every turn. Trayvon Martin is being portrayed as a sweet angelic 17-year old child who just 'happened' to be walking through a townhouse complex one rainy night…a portrait being aided by a media that keeps showing him in pictures from when he was 12-years old instead of showing him as he looked the night he was killed…a six foot tall, muscled thug in a hoodie being where he had NO business being for some say he knew NO one in that complex.
Being in a complex that had been having a rash of burglaries and robberies to such a degree that a citizen watch group had to patrol the area when the police couldn't. A thug who had just been suspended from school for drugs (who was under the influence of drugs on the night he was killed as per autopsy results), a thug whose school locker when opened by authorities was loaded with watches and jewelery…his...you decide…and NONE of this was allowed into evidence. Nor were his cellphone text messages about fighting and purchasing a gun, photos of his homegrown marijuana plants, blowing smoke from a joint, a gun in a hand that was probably his, a naked teen…NONE of it was allowed into evidence. There was also a Facebook posting from a half-brother asking Trayvon when he was going to teach him how to fight….NOT allowed. And a defense computer-generated animation depicting the struggle between Martin and Zimmerman also NOT allowed.
All NOT allowed because it would tarnish the angelic image of a sweet innocent child supposedly racially profiled, targeted, and then murdered by a white man for NO other reason than this sweet child was black…an image instigated by white-hating black leaders and fed into by the media as our nation is being held hostage with threats of violence by the likes of the New Black Panthers if that image is tarnished or if Zimmerman is dared to be found innocent.
And so the bottom line in this case remains NOT truth and surely NOT justice but race…race and appeasing and catering to that small, vocal, militant, black minority so they don't act up and riot, and if George Zimmerman must be thrown to the wolves to do that so it shall be…unless and this is a gamble…unless this jury has the guts and courage to do the right thing and say these race manipulated maneuvers be damned….evidence and truth will be how this case is decided.
I'm NOT going to hold my breath for that but will be pleasantly surprised if truth does win out over intimidation and threats….and then we'll see if our president (gag) has the decency to diffuse a volatile situation of his own making by warning that small, vocal, militant, black minority against any rioting. If he does then race relations can start moving forward again much to the chagrin of certain other afore mentioned 'supposed' leaders who happen to be black, and if he doesn't all hell could break lose.
But again…I'm NOT holding my breath for Barack HUSSEIN Obama to do the right thing as he NEVER has before so why should he start now.

When the winter comes, the stocks of heating sources like heating pads and fire logs would be phased out. Ants are a very good example of this, they kept storing some food for the winter in order to have enough and not go hungry like other insects or animals. We should stock now to save us the sleepless cold nights that would be unbearable. Do not wait till there is nothing more that you can do. It is better prepared than sorry.
