Our Legal System Is Being Used Against Us
Posted on August 31, 2019 by granny g
The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday that two illegal aliens have hired the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to represent them in a case claiming they suffered damages when they were deported by the United States. So illegal aliens want to sue America for enforcing its laws. Right.
The article reports:
Two fathers who were forcibly separated from their young children by immigration officials have filed administrative claims against the United States to seek compensation for the lasting harm caused by the Trump administration's family separation policy. The claims, on behalf of families who will continue to suffer damage to their mental, physical and emotional health for years to come, are the latest in a series filed by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Covington & Burling.
"Thousands of children and parents will live with intense trauma the rest of their lives as a result of this policy, which the administration knew would leave indelible scars on these families," said Michelle Lapointe, senior supervising attorney at the SPLC. "The government must be held accountable for its actions and it must put a stop to this practice once and for all."
The filings detail the cruelty of both the practice of family separation and the treatment of these families while in federal custody. As has been well-documented, the intent of the family separations was to deter future migrants by deliberately subjecting immigrants in custody to harsh conditions that would ensure their suffering. The dehumanization of these families and other migrants is evident in the accounts of their treatment while in government custody.
How much suffering did these children endure in their quest to enter America illegally? When you break the law, are you not subject to the consequences?
The article concludes:
These administrative claims are the first step toward holding the government accountable for the separations and the resulting serious trauma and suffering of the affected families. If the government fails to respond within six months or rejects the claims, the families can seek damages by filing lawsuits in federal court.
"The harm inflicted on these fathers, their children and their entire families can never be undone," said Jay Carey, a partner at Covington & Burling. "But those responsible for their pain can and must be held accountable. And a message must be sent to this Administration — which has acted in the name of the American people — that such cruelty will not be tolerated here or in any civilized society."
So if you are doing something illegal and something negative happens, you can sue the people who were enforcing the law? How does that make sense?

This Shouldn't Surprise Anyone
Posted on May 13, 2019 by granny g
On Friday, PJ Media posted an article about a group trying to discourage donations to conservative organizations.
On Monday, the first day of the Islamic holy season of Ramadan, the Hamas-linked anti-Israel Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) released a report condemning mainstream charities and philanthropic groups for allowing donors to contribute to conservative organizations CAIR and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) have accused of being "hate groups" comparable to the Ku Klux Klan. This is particularly rich, as CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror-funding case involving the Palestinian terror group Hamas.
The report, "Hijacked by Hate: American Philanthropy and the Islamophobia Network," lists "philanthropic foundations, many of them mainstream, that were used by anonymous special interest donors to funnel almost $125 million to anti-Muslim hate groups between 2014 and 2016." CAIR found 1,096 organizations funding 39 groups they accused of fomenting "anti-Muslim hate," to the tune of $1.5 billion.
CAIR would define an anti-Muslim hate group as any group that tells the truth about the link between those who support Islamic supremacy and terror. Keep in mind that CAIR was one of the groups listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Trial. If you are unfamiliar with the details of that trial, please look at the circumstances of the trial and the government exhibits from the trial. The exhibits outline the plan of Islamic supremacists to use our freedom and our legal system to undermine our government.
"It is our hope that with sustained action, institutional collaboration, and dedicated will, a community of progressive and mainstream allies will emerge to push the Islamophobia Network back to the fringe of our society, where odious and incendiary speech belong," CAIR National Research and Advocacy Director Abbas Barzegar said.
In addition to slandering and blacklisting conservative groups, the report brands Trump "the Anti-Muslim Hydra," without explaining the use of the term "hydra." This invective may suggest Trump's administration is a monster, which grows three more heads for every severed head, or it may link the Trump administration to the fictional organization Hydra from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, an organization which was too radical even for the Nazis.
To their shame, some of the charitable foundations said they took the report "very seriously." Schwab Charitable told NPR that its direction of funding is done by individuals and does not "reflect the values or beliefs of Schwab, Schwab Charitable or its management." Even so, the fund insisted that it "does not condone hate groups and we take concerns about illegitimate activity by grant recipients seriously." It encouraged people to contact the IRS or state charity regulators if the "anti-Muslim hate groups" broke any laws.
Keep in mind that the Muslim Brotherhood managed to purge all references to radical Islam from our government briefings on terror during the term of Barack Obama. Now CAIR is going after conservative groups because conservative groups understand who CAIR is and understand CAIR's relationship to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Using Our Laws Against Us
Posted on May 9, 2019 by granny g
In February, Judicial Watch reported that a group of illegal aliens working in a slaughterhouse and meatpacking plant in East Tennessee were arrested by ICE agents. These illegal aliens, aided by the Southern Policy Law Center (SPLC), are suing the federal agents that arrested them.
Represented by an extremist nonprofit that lists conservative organizations on a catalogue of "hate groups," seven illegal immigrants detained in a workplace raid are suing the federal agents that arrested them, claiming that they were racially profiled for being Latino. In a federal court complaint filed this week by their pro bono attorneys at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the illegal aliens assert that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents violated their Constitutional rights against illegal seizures and to equal protection under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
The raid occurred last spring at a slaughterhouse and meatpacking plant in a small rural town called Bean Station in east Tennessee. Agents from ICE and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) raided the facility as part of a lengthy investigation into the owner's multi-million-dollar tax evasion and fraud scheme. About 100 illegal aliens were arrested, most of them from Guatemala and Mexico and some had been previously deported from the U.S. more than once. At least 54 people were deported immediately, some were released and others faced federal or state charges, according to a local news report following the seize.
The owner of the business, James Brantley, eventually pled guilty to multiple federal crimes, including tax fraud, wire fraud, and employment of unauthorized illegal aliens. The feds say he avoided paying nearly $1.3 million in taxes by hiring at least 150 illegal aliens and paying them off the books in cash. The scheme began in 1988 and continued through 2018 when he got busted. Brantley had reported to the IRS that he had only 44 wage-earning employees, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). To avoid Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax obligations, unemployment insurance premiums, unemployment tax and workers' compensation insurance premiums he paid illegal immigrants in cash at a rate of $8-$10 per hour.
Since when do illegal aliens have constitutional rights–they are not American citizens, and they are breaking the law by being here.
The article also states:
Leftist groups went ballistic, asserting that illegal immigrants were victims whose "rights" were violated by the federal government. Outraged, the SPLC called it the largest workplace immigration raid since the George W. Bush administration. "What happened on April 5, 2018 was law enforcement overreach, plain and simple," said the group's senior supervising attorney Meredith Stewart. "We, as a nation, have a shared set of ideals, rooted in the Bill of Rights: We have a right to be free of racial profiling and unlawful arrests. If we are not willing to uphold those ideals for everyone in this country, then we are all at risk of losing our rights." In the complaint, SPLC attorneys write that the federal officers conspired to plan and execute the forceful and prolonged seizure of the meatpacking plant's Latino workforce solely on the basis of their actual or apparent race or ethnicity.
If the workers were here illegally, why would anyone characterize the arrests as unlawful? Isn't it lawful to arrest people who break the law?
I hope a judge throws this case out of court. The person running the business was breaking the law by hiring the illegals, but the illegals were also illegal. They are not protected by the U.S. Constitution. Does anyone believe that if they entered Mexico illegally that they would be under the protection of the Mexican constitution?

Somehow I Don't Think This Is Helpful
Posted on December 19, 2018 by granny g
The Washington Examiner is reporting today that the Nation of Islam has received $364,500 in contracts and awards from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2019.
The funding was designed to provide "Nation of Islam religious services," "Nation of Islam spiritual guide services," "Nation of Islam study services," and other related programming led by the organization's leaders, according to Bureau of Prison records. The Nation of Islam has been labeled a hate group by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
It scares me that I agree with the Southern Poverty Law Center on anything, but in this case they are right. The Nation of Islam is led by Louis Farrakhan. Some of his teaching states that white people are "blue-eyed devils" and Jews are "the synagogue of Satan." That is not a message that is helpful to anyone.
The article further reports:
In total, the Bureau of Prisons contracted with over a dozen organizations and individuals to specifically provide Nation of Islam programming for inmates. One of these individuals was Verbon Muhammad, a Nation leader in Monroe, La., who received over $60,000 to "provide Nation of Islam religious services." Muhammad told a reporter at the Louisiana News Star last year that white people are not allowed to attend Nation of Islam religious services.
"We don't allow white people in our meetings, period," said Muhammad.
There is a concern that chaplains in our prisons are not helping inmates in their journey to be productive citizens.
King (New York Republican Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence) said the funding raises concerns about the federal vetting process for prison chaplains in light of reports that prisons can be a breeding ground for radicalization.
In 2010, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee released a report that found "as many as three dozen U.S. citizens who converted to Islam while in prison have traveled to Yemen, possibly for Al Qaeda training." The issue has drawn recent attention in Europe, after a gunman who attacked visitors at a Christmas market in France was reported to have been radicalized during a prior stint in jail.
"Since there have been too many instances of radicalization occurring in prisons, that, to me, is a public concern as to what is being taught," King said. "To me, once you're associated with Farrakhan, that, to me, would end the vetting right away."
It's time to reevaluate our prison chaplain program to see if it is helping prisoners to become productive citizens or creating people that will not exist peacefully in society.

Political Attacks On Good People
Posted on June 1, 2018 by granny g
Paul Mirengoff posted an article at Power Line today about the appointment of Fred Fleitz as chief-of-staff of the National Security Council. The smear campaign against a good man has begun. Yesterday the Washington Monthly posted an article calling Fred Fleitz a Neo-Nazi. He is not a neo-Nazi–but he is a man who understands the threat of radical Islam. They describe him as the anti-Muslim senior vice-president of an Islamaphobic think tank and now NSC chief of staff. The think tank they are referring to is the Center for Security Policy headed by Frank Gaffney. The Center for Security Policy has been one of the few honest sources for information on Sharia Law and the attempts to infiltrate Sharia into our government. They are described as Islamaphobic just as anyone who understands the threat of Sharia extremists in America is described.
The article at Power Line concludes:
The previous administration did not take the danger seriously. Or maybe it just couldn't discern an Islamic radical group when it saw one.
Adam Kredo of the Washington Examiner argues that members of the Obama administration are instrumental in the slander of Fleitz. He notes that "organizations closely tied to the Obama administration" have led the charge. Kredo cites the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Southern Poverty Law Center. He also includes or Anti Defamation League which is currently headed by Jonathan Greenblatt, a former Obama administration official.
Desperate to defend Obama's major legacy item — the Iran nuclear deal — Team Obama has a strong interest in bringing down John Bolton and Fred Fleitz, as it brought down Michael Flynn. But CAIR, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and even the Washington Post aren't the FBI. These outfits are just shouting into the wind. But that doesn't make some of the shouting any less despicable.
There are many places in our government that need to be revamped after the damage done by the last presidential administration. The National Security Council is one of those places. The appointment of Fred Fleitz is definitely a step in the right direction.

Discrimination Against Conservative Organizations
The Daily Caller reported yesterday that Amazon has barred the Christian legal group Alliance Defending Freedom from taking part in their Amazon Smile program.
Amazon allows the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center to determine which groups are and aren't allowed to take part in Amazon Smile
The article lists some of the groups who will be participating in the program:
Unlike ADF, hardline Islamic groups are allowed to participate in Amazon Smile. That includes the Islamic Center of Jersey City, whose imam called Jews "apes and pigs" and requested Allah's help in killing them "down to the very last one," according to the Anti-Defamation League.
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is able to take part in Amazon Smile, despite a 2009 federal court ruling the U.S. government has "ample evidence" of ties between the group and Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas.
The similarly named Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is also an Amazon Smile member. ICNA promotes the establishment of an Islamic caliphate and has ties to a radical Pakistani political group, Jamaat-e-Islami. The ADL has criticized ICNA for giving a platform to extremists.
Amazon's spokesperson declined to comment to TheDCNF on the eligibility status of individual organizations but stressed the diversity of the more than one million participants in the program.
ISNA is listed as an unindicted co conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Trial which began in July 2007. The Holy Land Foundation Trial dealt with groups funding money to Islamic terrorists. These are the people Amazon is allowing to participate in their charity programs while keeping Christian organizations out. This is definitely backwards.

Fighting Back Against Misinformation
Posted on April 25, 2018 by granny g
On Monday The Center for Security Policy posted an article about the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and their hate group map.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has reportedly removed the "Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists" from its website after being faced with a lawsuit.
Attorneys for a leading British Muslim reformer, Maajid Nawaz, threatened legal action over his being included in the list, according to National Review.
The list also included female genital mutilation victim Ayaan Hirsi-Ali, Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer and Frank Gaffney.
The SPLC report, which still exists in PDF form, was first published in December 2016 and was intended to be a resource for journalists. It reads, "A shocking number of these extremists are seen regularly on television news programs and quoted in the pages of our leading newspapers. There, they routinely espouse a wide range of utter falsehoods, all designed to make Muslims appear as bloodthirsty terrorists or people intent on undermining American constitutional freedoms. More often than not, these claims go uncontested."
Maajid Nawaz, who founded the anti-extremist think tank Quilliam Foundation in London, said on a podcast with Joe Rogan that the report was taken down under legal threat in the past few days.
Nawaz said, "We have retained Clare Lock, they are writing to the Southern Poverty Law Center as we speak. I think they've got wind of it – the Southern Poverty Law Center – and as of yesterday, or the day before, they've removed the entire list that's been up there for two years."
The problem with the SPLC's hate map is that anyone who disagreed with the liberal agenda is listed as a hate group and anything said against the liberal agenda as hate speech. The people who have spoken out honestly against Sharia Law and the attempts to bring it to America have been charged with hate speech. Telling the truth is characterized as hate speech according to the SPLC. This is reminiscent of the purging of the Department of Homeland Security of documents related to terrorism (article here):
In October 2011, elements of the American Muslim Brotherhood wrote the White House demanding an embargo or discontinuation of information and materials relating to Islamic-based terrorism. The letter was addressed to John Brennan, who at the time was Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism. Days later John Brennan agreed to create a task force to address the problem by removing personnel and products that the Muslim Brotherhood deemed "biased, false, and highly offensive." This move in effect allowed the Muslim Brotherhood to control the information given to the people charged with stopping the terrorism initiated by groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. At this point, the 9/11 reports and other actual historic documents were altered to make them compliant with the new paradigm. (I thought only the Russians rewrote history.)
The Center for Security Policy article concludes:
Family Research Council Executive Vice President General Jerry Boykin denounced the SPLC as "probably one of the most evil groups in America. They've become a money-making machine and they've become an absolute Marxist, anarchist organization."
The SPLC website says "The organizations on our hate group list vilify others because of their race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity – prejudices that strike at the heart of our democratic values and fracture society along its most fragile fault lines."
The SPLC did not respond to a question why they have removed the "Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists".
America's future security depends on an informed public. Organizations like the SPLC misinform the public about the dangers around them. Meanwhile some forces within our government work to prevent law enforcement from having the information they need to protect us. If Americans do not wake up, we will have to explain to our children and grandchildren how we lost their freedom.

Sanity Occasionally Happens In Government
Posted on October 4, 2017 by granny g
On Monday, The Daily Caller Reported that the Department of Defense has cut its ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Previously the SPLC was regarded as a source when identifying hate groups. Unfortunately, the SPLC has degenerated into a liberal mouthpiece citing any conservative group that supports traditional values as a hate group.
Brian J. Field, assistant U.S. attorney from the Civil Division, stated that the Department of Defense (DOD) Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity removed any and all references to the SPLC in training materials used by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI), in an email obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation from the Department of Justice.
The DEOMI is a DOD school founded to fight segregation and inequality that teaches courses in racial, gender and religious equality, among other subject areas like equal opportunity and pluralism. The courses are available to DOD civilians and service members.
The Pentagon's decision to terminate its relationship with the SPLC comes at a time when the group has under major fire from conservative organizations, particularly in the form of lawsuits. D. James Kennedy Ministries, a Christian ministry from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., recently sued the SPLC after being labeled a hate group. The SPLC has also faced criticism from liberals. In late August, anti-Muslim extremism activist and feminist Ayaan Hirsi Ali argued in The New York Times that "the S.P.L.C. is an organization that has lost its way, smearing people who are fighting for liberty and turning a blind eye to an ideology and political movement that has much in common with Nazism."
For Ali, corporations and donors in Hollywood "need to find more trustworthy and deserving partners to work with than the SPLC."
Notably, the Pentagon is not the only federal agency to drop the SPLC.
In February, The Daily Caller News Foundation published an exclusive piece indicating that the FBI, which formerly used the SPLC as a "hate crimes resource," has also been distancing itself from the group.
It would be nice to have an unbiased source to keep track of hate groups, but I am not convinced that is possible. We have had the obvious hate groups with us for a long time–white supremacists, black panthers, and others. It is time simply to marginalize these groups and begin to unite as a country. Hopefully this is possible.

The Hate Group Supposedly Naming The Hate Groups
Posted on September 18, 2017 by granny g
The following video was posted on YouTube on September 12th:
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been linked to two shootings in Washington. The shooting at the Family Research Council in 2012 was linked to the SPLC having declared them a hate group and there were some questions as to whether the gunman who shot Steve Scalise was influenced by the SPLC. At any rate, when we start declaring organizations hate groups, we need to be careful. The problem with declaring groups hate groups or speech hate speech is that it involves very subjective judgement on the part of the person making the declaration.
The SPLC has every right to exist and state their views. It is the responsibility of those who hear those views to do their own research and draw their own conclusions. As Dr. Swain noted, the SPLC has done nothing for the poor. So what is their actual purpose? Based on their past performance, it appears that their only goal is to create problems between races rather than to solve them.

Common Sense Has Left The Building
The Daily Caller posted an article today about the latest target of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The group has totally lost all sense of reason.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has declared three of America's largest Army bases Confederate monuments "with the potential to unleash more turmoil and bloodshed" if activists don't "take down" the Army bases.
The SPLC included Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Benning in Georgia on a list of 1,500 "Confederate monuments" that the SPLC claims could inspire more violence like what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia last month. All three bases are named after Confederate military leaders.
The list makes no mention of renaming namesakes of Confederate monuments; taking the monuments down is presented as the only option. The recent leftist campaign against Confederate namesakes and monuments has included a willingness among some far-left actors to destroy government property to accomplish their goals.
If the SPLC is so unhappy with American history and the American government, why don't they take their organization elsewhere? Nothing they are doing is improving the atmosphere of division and hate that they say they are combating. In fact, it can be argued that this 'anti-hate group' is creating hate and division.
The article notes:
At the same time that the SPLC is waging its campaign against Fort Hood, approximately 400 American soldiers stationed at the base are down in Houston helping victims of Hurricane Harvey.
What is the SPLC doing to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey?

A Hate Group That Claims To Be Fighting Hate
Last week I posted an article about a donation given to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) by George and Amal Clooney. The donation was made in response to the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, and was given 'to combat hate groups. As I explained in the article, according to the SPLC, a hate group is any group of people who do not share the same beliefs as the SPLC. That is the danger of designating hate groups–there may be a few we all agree on, but there is also a lot of room for disagreement.
PJ Media posted an article yesterday reporting that the SPLC is being sued by some of the groups it has designated as hate groups.
Now, some of the groups slandered by this organization have begun to fight back — and it's not just Christian groups like D. James Kennedy Ministries and Liberty Counsel.
"The SPLC, who made their money suing the KKK, were set up to defend people like me, but now they've become the monster that they claimed they wanted to defeat," Maajid Nawaz, a British politician and founder of the anti-Islamist organization the Quilliam foundation, declared in a video announcing his lawsuit against the SPLC for defamation.
"They have named me, alongside Ayaan Hirsi Ali, on a list of 'Anti-Muslim Extremists,'" Nawaz said. "I am suing the SPLC for defamation and I need your help to win."
In June, the charity navigation website GuideStar adopted the SPLC "hate group" list, marking each profile of the targeted organizations as a "hate group." ABC and NBC parroted the SPLC's "hate group" label against Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) last month, and CNN published the group's "hate map" online.
But the SPLC does not deserve this widespread trust, support, and publicity. The organization is a "cash-collecting machine" that spreads libels against religious organizations and has been connected to two domestic terror attacks.
There have been two domestic terror attacks that have connections to the SPLC. The first was the shooting of Representative Steve Scalise (R-La.) early this summer (James Hodgkinson had liked the SPLC on Facebook. The SPLC had attacked Representative Scalise for giving a speech to a white supremacist group.) The second attack occurred in 2012 when Floyd Lee Corkins III broke into the Family Research Council (FRC), aiming to kill everyone in the building. The article reports that during an FBI interrogation, the shooter said he targeted FRC because it was listed as an "anti-gay group" on the SPLC website.
The article at PJ Media centers on the lawsuit by Maajid Nawaz, a British politician and founder of the anti-Islamist organization the Quilliam foundation.
In the video announcing his lawsuit, Nawaz declared that "placing my name on a list like this not only smears my name, but also puts me in physical danger." He noted that "the Left has descended into violence, whether that's punching people on the street, throwing explosives and attacking people in protests and riots or assassination attempts on Right-wing politicians by leftist fans of the SPLC."
Whatever their intention was at their inception, the SPLC has become a political hate group that has discovered a way to make money through lawsuits and gifts from people who want to feel good about 'combating hate.' It is my hope that a few lawsuits will convince them to find other ways of making a living.
Please follow the link above to the PJ Media article. It is chilling that an organization that claims to be fighting hate can be so misused by the political left. At the moment, the SPLC is being used as a weapon to stifle Christian beliefs and conservative speech. That is not a direction America should be moving in.

When The World Turns Upside Down
One America News Network is reporting the following today:
Actor George Clooney and his humanitarian lawyer wife, Amal Clooney, have donated $1 million to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a U.S. non-profit that monitors extremists and domestic hate groups, in response to protests in Charlottesville, Virginia earlier this month.
There are a few problems with this. The headline of the article reads, "George and Amal Clooney give $1 million to combat U.S. hate groups." Actually the SPLC is in itself a hate group. That is the problem when you start labeling hate groups–one man's political action group is another man's hate group.
The group consistently lists Act for America as a hate group. It is not. The group was founded by Brigitte Gabriel to educate Americans to the threat of Islam. Ms. Gabriel was knighted in Europe in 2016 for her international work on fighting terrorism and standing up for Western Values. The SPLC also lists a number of Christian organizations as hate groups because these groups hold a Biblical view of homosexuality. The SPLC has no respect for a group that believes in the Bible and attempts to follow Biblical principles.
The SPLC is nothing more than a liberal group attempting to limit the free speech of people who do not agree with them. Contributing to this group does not fight hate in any way–in fact it supports people who do not believe in the freedoms guaranteed in the United States Constitution. Unfortunately, there are many people who will be taken in by the SPLC's claim that they are working to fight 'hate groups.'

I'm Feeling A Little Insecure
Posted on October 16, 2015 by granny g
Yesterday Infowars posted an article about some changes the Department of Justice is making in fighting the war on terror at home. I think fighting the war on terror at home is a really good idea–particularly since we have no way of vetting the refugees from Syria that the United Nations is sending us (rightwinggranny). However, I guess the Department of Justice does not necessarily see things the same way I do.
The DOJ announced it will appoint a "domestic terrorism counsel" to focus on who the Obama administration and the controversial Southern Poverty Law Center considers "extremists."
"Looking back over the past few years, it is clear that domestic terrorists and homegrown violent extremists remain a real and present danger to the United States," the DOJ's John Carlin said on Wednesday.
But the Justice Dept. and the Department of Homeland Security previously characterized libertarians, conservatives and constitutionalists as militia-inspired "domestic extremists."
"Militia members most commonly associated with third-party political groups," a 2009 Missouri Information Analysis Center report stated. "It is not uncommon for militia members to display Constitutional Party, Campaign for Liberty or libertarian material."
"These members are usually supporters of former presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr."
Even more concerning, the MIAC report encouraged law enforcement to scrutinize Americans who oppose abortion, illegal immigration and the rapid growth of the government, all of which are views shared by a plurality of Donald Trump supporters.
I guess we have come to the point where not totally agreeing with the Democratic Party agenda puts you under suspicion as a 'domestic terrorist.' Meanwhile the Justice Department is ignoring the obvious threat that is currently invading our country, both as legal refugees and illegal aliens. At some point I hope the voters in America will hold these people accountable for what they are doing–they are not only putting our national security at risk, they are creating divisions among Americans that weaken us as a nation, This is not the way to bring America together.

I Guess This Is A Step In The Right Direction
Yesterday the Daily Caller reported that the U. S. Army is ordering a halt to all briefings classifying Christian groups as domestic hate groups. Yes, you read that right. The army needs a memorandum to stop teaching soldiers that Christians are a domestic terrorism threat. Good grief! A memorandum sent out by the Secretary of the Army, John McHugh ordered all Army leaders "to cease all briefings, command presentations, or training on the subject of extremist organizations and activities, pending promulgation" of a uniform instruction and training program.
As Fox News notes, the Army's Equal Opportunity Advisor Student Guide highlights the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center). Troops at Fort Hood were recently advised that donations to evangelical Christian groups or Tea Party groups could lead to penalties. Also, in May, Fox says, an Army Reserve training memo called evangelical Christians and Catholics as religious extremists.
The irony of this, of course, is that an SPLC law center map was used by Floyd Lee Corkins to find the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., where his goal was to shoot as many people as possible. Thank God he was stopped by a security guard that he did shoot.
The First Amendment protects our religious freedom. Our military takes an oath to protect and defend our Constitution. Our training memos and lectures should reflect that oath.

Being Court Martialed For Exercising The Rights You Are Supposed To Be Defending?????
Breitbart.com reported today that the Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers may be prosecuted for sharing their faith. What? What happened to "There are no atheists in foxholes"?
The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.
(From our earlier report: Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians–including chaplains–sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the military are guilty of "treason," and of committing an act of "spiritual rape" as serious a crime as "sexual assault." He also asserted that Christians sharing their faith in the military are "enemies of the Constitution.")
Being convicted in a court martial means that a soldier has committed a crime under federal military law. Punishment for a court martial can include imprisonment and being dishonorably discharged from the military.
How in the world did we get to this place? This new regulation also includes military chaplains. Why are they there if they can't share their faith?
If you are concerned about this violation of our soldiers' rights, please follow this link to the Family Research Council to sign the petition protesting this new regulation. We need to protect the religious freedom of our troops.
On a historical note, I would like to include this picture which was posted by a friend on facebook:
Somewhere we have gone horribly astray.
UPDATE: A website called Instant Analysis posted the following today:
UPDATE (May 2, 2013 – 1:30 p.m. Central) – The Pentagon is backing down on a Tuesday statement indicating members of the military could be subject to court-martial for religious proselytizing.
The Department of Defense has issued a new statement, saying that "Service members can share their faith, or evangelize, but must not force unwanted, intrusive attempts to convert others of any faith or no faith to one's beliefs."
On Tuesday it was revealed that Lt. Commander Nate Christensen issued a statement on behalf of the Pentagon that court-martials for "proselytizing" would be considered on a case-by-case basis. The statement outraged the Christian community, including current and former members of the armed services.
The question arose as to whether members of the military lose their First Amendment rights at the point at which they enter the military.

In conjunction with the first museum retrospective of Zilia Sánchez, The Phillips Collection has organized a symposium to discuss Sánchez's work in a broader context. The first part, In Context, features presentations by prominent art historians that frame Sánchez's work within the trans-national development of modernism in Cuba, the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean. The second part, Curatorial and Scholarly Perspectives, discusses the positioning of Sánchez's work in museum collections and scholarly research. The third part, Legacy, introduces Sánchez's former students (and now accomplished artists), sheds light on the preservation and conservation of the artist's stretched canvases, and touches on current issues in the field of Latin American art.


..:: H55 Chipset - Nehalem Hits the Mainstream ::..
Well, we've now entered a new year and we're starting things off with a bang. Today, Intel has released the NDA on information and performance surrounding their new chipsets and the new Westmere processors. We'll be waiting a few more months for the six-core version of Westmere targeted at the Extreme user, but with this release Intel has completed the circle bringing the Nehalem architecture to all mainstream users. Westmere doesn't merely apply a die shrink and move on, not in the least. Intel has added several new instructions for AES encryption that vastly improve the performance and bandwidth of encryption calculations and applications. Did we also mention the option for a multi-chip package with integrated graphics? We'll be examining Westmere's performance with the Intel Core i5-661. We'll see how this compares against the Core i5-750 and Core i7-870 all on the DH55TC "Tom Cove" motherboard. Before we delve into the performance of this new setup, let's take a quick look at what Westmere has to offer.
..:: Westmere - More than a Die Shrink ::..
The benefits of a die shrink are well known to any enthusiast. The shift to 32nm is no different than what we have seen in the past. An impressive feat of the Westmere design is that we are now seeing TDP's of 73W for a Westmere only solution, and 87W for a combined Westmere / IGP. This is vastly improved from the prior 45nm designs for the Core i7 and i5's in then LGA1366 and LGA1156 package. We also see higher clock rates available at these much reduced TDPs. Does it get any better than a faster, cooler processor? I can't think of anything I love better, so long as we don't see a punishing performance hit to get there.
A second benefit of Westmere is the continued integration of what formerly consisted of the (G)MCH into the actual processor die. Integration is and has been a buzz word for years now, but with Westmere we can finally do away with the (G)MCH. Due to the integration of PCI-Express, the memory controller, and the option of a multi-chip package with the graphics die, motherboards no longer need a three chip solution. The remains of the (G)MCH and ICH have now been integrated into a single die, known now as the Platform Controller Hub, or PCH. This allows for a substantial space savings on the motherboard, meaning more compact solutions, or even better, boards with more features.
A multi-chip package is not a new development in the industry. You may remember the initial dual core processors consisted of two independent dies. This is the case now with the graphics die and the Westmere die on the Core i5-661. While Westmere is built off the 32nm process, the graphics die utilizes the 45nm process. Using a multi-chip package design allows for a simpler and faster integration of both dies into one package. Will we see a single die solution in the future? I would bet on it.


Finally, here is my final story I submitted to the NYC Midnight 2015 Flash Fiction Challenge. This was for Round #2 where the semi-finalists were re-sorted into new groups. There would only be one challenge for this round. For my group, the story had to be science fiction, take place predominately in a convention center, and include a pumpkin pie. While I enjoyed the story, I came up just short, earning an honorable mention in my group but placing just outside of the top 5. There's always next year!
It was supposed to be a fresh start, an escape to a place free of the infected world they'd lived in for years, but after making it to the transport center, Jennifer and her little brother find themselves trapped with a dead portal and thousands of others fighting for survival.
It didn't spread overnight. You didn't just go to sleep one day and wake up the next with the world in ruins. It was a slow, almost casual burn. No one wanted to believe what was happening. No matter how bad it got, we always thought we would win.
Denial is a dangerous thing.
His tiny voice pulls me out of my thoughts. I look down at Marcus who stares up at me with hopeful eyes.
"What?" My voice cracks, my throat burning from dehydration.
"Sorry, kid. Guess I drifted away for a bit." He smiles up at me, apology accepted.
I reach my arms out and he folds himself into me.
"How much longer?" he whispers.
I glance around the cavernous space we've called home the past two weeks. It's hard to imagine it once held conventions with big pharma and superhero cosplay, though probably not at the same time.
"I don't know, kid." I look to my left where the portal stands dark just a few feet away, as it has for days.
We weren't told many details. When the government realized they couldn't beat the infected, that we'd lost almost as soon as it had begun, they turned their efforts to more radical solutions. Word finally came three weeks ago. All we had to do was get to the convention center.
We were some of the last to arrive. As they'd herded us inside, Marcus and I heard the first screams of the infected coming for us. They shut the doors, locking us in. We weren't worried. We had the portal. Well, until it shut off, that is.
I watch the men in charge as they hover over a computer just a few feet away. Marcus slips away from me and walks up to the small barrier surrounding them.
"Excuse me," Marcus whispers. I don't think they've heard and reach to pull him back when one of the men tilts his head toward us.
"Yes?" He turns to Marcus and bends down to his level.
Before I can stop myself, I snort with laughter. The man looks over at me and I see a small smile playing on his lips.
The man gazes into my eyes before reaching out his hand.
"Jennifer," I respond, taking his hand.
Marcus glares at us, his fists balled and glued to his hips. I force the laughter down and look to David.
A smile breaks across his face and it's so pleasant that for a second I don't hear the scream that tears through the room.
Marcus throws himself on me. David stands, but I know he can't see anything. The room's just too big. The screams grow, moving from one person to the next. I hear a gunshot, then two, and I feel Marcus throw his hands over his ears. David jumps onto a nearby table. I look up at him surveying the disaster and a look of utter shock crosses his face. When he sees me staring, he tries to recover, but it's too late.
"They're inside, aren't they?" It's not really a question and David knows it. He turns his back to me and grabs the two other men who look on in terror at the scene behind me. I hear David arguing with them, something about not caring where or when they're sending us.
I lift Marcus away from me and lower him down onto the other side of the barrier before climbing over. I pick him back up and stare at the portal, praying for it to light up like it did when we first arrived. A hand falls on my shoulder and I turn to find David.
David pales at my question and I know I'm not going to like his answer.
I hear the portal begin to power up behind me and know he's right. I feel my head nod slightly, my mind apparently made up.
I turn away quickly but not before seeing three infected barreling toward us behind David's back. I clutch Marcus to me and run as fast as I can. The portal swallows us and all I see is black as we start to fall. I wonder if I've made a terrible mistake, that maybe just having it end would have been better, but then I hear Marcus whimpering into my hair and realize that we're back on solid ground.
Silence surrounds us and I'm terrified of what's to come. We're alone in a new world, all thanks to David. I squeeze Marcus and send up a silent thank you to the stranger who may have just saved us. We must keep going, if only for him.
I gather up all the strength I have left and open my eyes to gaze upon our new world.
I really liked this. I could see the room in my mind's eye and I noticed a subtle change in all the wording connected to the boy…it was delicate, somehow…for lack of a better term. Well done!

Kings could hold key to facilitating Jimmy Butler 3-way deal
Bruno Manrique
The Sacramento Kings could play the role of wingman in a three-way trade situation with the Minnesota Timberwolves, eager to haul in any bloated contracts in return for draft compensation to facilitate the trade of All-Star forward Jimmy Butler, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Kings are without their first-round draft pick for 2019, and can now land a future first-rounder and maybe even more as part of a Butler blockbuster trade, in return for their troubles.
Teams like the Brooklyn Nets, L.A. Clippers, and the Miami Heat all have contracts they're hoping to unload, and dealing Butler could mean pick and cash compensations to take on a veteran player. The Timberwolves have also been looking to shed some contracts of their own, specifically Gorgui Dieng, who is still owed a whopping $47 million during the next three years of his contract ($15.2 million in 2018-19).
Dieng's career was in the upside for the past two seasons, but it took a crucial fall last season upon the signing of Taj Gibson, going from starting all 82 games in 2016-17 to none last season through 79 appearances, while seeing his minutes take a drastic drop to nearly half of what he had as a starter.
"Assistant GM Brandon Williams has informed teams that the Kings aren't adverse to parking contracts that extend into the 2019-20 season, including Dieng," wrote Wojnarowski. "Whatever happens with the Butler deal, the Kings are determined to use that $11 million in cap space and their expiring contracts to gather more assets for the future."
The Timberwolves are getting plenty of assistance when it comes to moving Butler, but only time will tell if they're okay with losing a little to move on from their franchise star, holding little to no leverage in this trade situation. The Kings are in the favorable spot of being willing to take picks and cash, given that the Minnesota brass will prefer ready-made pieces to help bring the Timberwolves to the playoffs once more.

AN ENDLESS SPORADIC - AN ENDLESS SPORADIC - 2009
Зарубежная музыка / Progressive & Art-Rock
Автор: vitaljazz11 декабря 2009Комментарии (1)
STYLE: Progressive Space Metal/ Fusion
FORMAT: FLAC (Tracks + Log + .Cue + Scans + 5% Recovery)
THE BAND: Zach Kamins - Keyboards, Guitars, and Bass; Andy Gentile - Drum, Jonas Reingold - Bass
AN ENDLESS SPORADIC is an instrumental progressive metal band from Texas. The band is comprised by Zach Kamins (guitar, keyboard, bass) and Andy Gentile (drums).
The band got some attention when they received the opportunity to appear in the videogame Tony Hawk's American Wasteland in-game soundtrack. The song "Sun of Pearl" was featured in the game and was written only through the internet as Andy lives in Los Angeles and Zach in Texas. Another song called "Impulse" was featured as a bonus song in the videogame Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock which was released in 2007.
In March 2008 AN ENDLESS SPORADIC released their debut EP entitled "Ameliorate" which contained their two previously released songs.
Even when Andy plays for the band Stasera and works with Neversoft Entertainment, and Zach lives in Boston where he attends Berklee School of music, they both are still writing music and would eventually record a new album in the near future.

Photo credit OMG Media: Eddie Wu, owner of Cook St. Paul, bought the "weird food photos" from the original owners.
Hansen III, aka Eddie Wu, remembers it too. His father was a firefighter stationed on Payne Avenue.
Walking into Room 105 of the Urban Outreach-Engagement and Research Center (UROC) in North Minneapolis, the room setup is perfect for group discussion, planning and work around cooperatives. The large room is filled with tables draped in colorful table cloths, and on the front walls, the co-op values and principles are centered.
In the room, there are over 20 community members, business owners and partner organizations who have come ready to engage and to learn about cooperatives and their role in our cultural history.
This was the first of a 2-part Co-op Learning Series hosted by Nexus Community Partners, a community building intermediary in the Twin Cities. Repa Mekha, President and CEO of Nexus, opened the meeting by introducing the Nexus staff and Nexus' commitment to a strong, equitable and just community in which all members are afforded multiple access points to generate and sustain wealth.
During the almost 3 hour long meeting, Nexus introduced the room to the definition of a cooperative, the importance of culturally-based economic development, and the idea of using cooperatives to build democratic communities.
Following the introduction, LaDonna Redmond, Seward Community Coop's Diversity and Community Engagement Manager, approached the mic stand.
With a commanding and energetic presence, LaDonna set the foundation of her presentation by defining exactly what a coop is.
Once the foundation was set, LaDonna presented the history of coops and the importance of power and oppression in storytelling.
"I will start with telling the story of the Rochdale Pioneers. They say the Rochdale Pioneers in 1844 created the contemporary coop movement, meaning that they codified, or wrote down, the principles [of coops] as they understood them. So they show you a picture of 10 white men in England, where one of the dudes had the baddest mushroom haircut I've ever seen in my life," LaDonna said, as the room erupted in laughter.
For the next 30 minutes, LaDonna challenged the "white's only" cooperative narrative by highlighting the stories and histories of Blacks in the United States.
For the final part of the meeting, guests were asked to get in pairs and participate in a gallery walk. On the walls of the room were pictures and descriptions of various coops, such as New York City's Colors Cooperative, Oakland's Mandela Marketplace, Pine Ridge Reservation's Owíŋža Quilters Cooperative and Minneapolis' Village Trust Financial Cooperative. As they circled the room, the pairs reflected on common themes and coop principles.
At the end of the gallery walk, guests shared their final thoughts and what resonated with them regarding cooperatives. One participant commented on one thing that is missing from nonprofit and federal programs.
"When we transition programs to nonprofits and to the federal government, community is lost in this transition. Coops can bring that back," said one participant.
Everyone stressed the importance of getting back to the basics, as was summed up by one of the final thoughts of the evening.
Nexus Welcomes Keliyah Perkins to Our Team!
We are ecstatic to welcome Keliyah Perkins to our Nexus team! Keliyah joins us as the North Star Black Cooperative Fellowship Summer Intern, where she'll be supporting the cohort development and engagement, communications and research and technical support for the North Star Black Cooperative Fellowship.
Keliyah is a rising senior this fall at Gustavus Adolphus college. She is a Philosophy major with minors in Film and Media Studies and English. She believes that the problems that exist in this world cannot be tackled from just one angle, that if we want radical change we must advance from all sides.
Learn more about Keliyah here, and please help us welcome her to the Nexus family!


What Is It Like To Work As An Entertainer Overseas?
The entertainment and tourism industries are both large by all means, and when combined, they can offer incredible chances to those looking for exciting opportunities of working and living abroad.
Working as an entertainer requires much preparation, long hours, sacrifice and plenty of hard work. Being an artist is not an easy job and while most people only see the glamor of being on stage or the display of happiness and a great attitude, they do not understand that behind all of that there are many hours spent rehearsing, training and sacrificing leisure time in the perfection of craft.
The world of entertainment can be exciting, an outlet for your creativity, demanding, sometimes glamorous and with so many career choices that it seems difficult to choose just one direction to focus your efforts. If you love traveling and have artistic talents, are good with people or simply love to help others have a very good time, then we at Royal Holiday Jobs can help you by giving you some information about this and more awesome career opportunities.
What does an entertainer do?
Entertainers can perform for audiences in stage at bars, cabarets, restaurants, hotels, resorts and cruise ships. Talent can take you very far, but you also need to be good with people, charismatic and very confident. Qualifications aren't set in stone in the entertainment industry as jobs can differ greatly and still be in the same field.
Singing, stand-up comedy, playing a musical instrument, performing magic shows or entertaining children or groups as an animator are some of the most popular responsibilities of entertainers working within the travel industry.
Working with children, for example, is a great opportunity for those who like kids, as it can be a highly rewarding experience that will give you a chance to make a difference and be remembered by those who spend time around you. Children's entertainers usually work with different age groups and that pretty much dictates the type of activities they can lead in their sessions. Sports, crafts, games, themed parties and all kind of fun activities can be part of your daily routine at a fulfilling job that will not be boring, that is for sure. This particular position has a very high demand, as families that travel together are always looking for places that can cater to the entertainment needs of all members of the family; this way parent can relax and get away and enjoy their hard-earned vacation as they can partake in activities along with their children, or let them enjoy their fun as they can spend their time doing other things.
Entertainment for adults is a whole different thing. Musicians and stage performers sometimes become so renowned and popular at a ship or hotel that guests will continue coming just for the pleasure of assisting their shows. One of the things that makes this job so great for those who choose this life, is the fact that being an artist is not something that you just simply pick up one day and just do it; this is something that usually takes a lifetime to perfect and pursue, and these types of jobs allow them live up their dreams and realize their passion of entertaining others.
The work can be done seasonally, usually with contracts that last a few months or in some cases you can be hired for longer than that. Hours are usually during the evening as performances are usually offered in nighttime schedules during dinner or other activities. The rest of the time is usually spent rehearsing, preparing for the show or training for new performances.
Your employer provides lodging and in most cases, you get your own room so you can rest and enjoy your personal space during your free time. The work environment is great, as you will meet so many people from different backgrounds, cultures and nationalities that have that in common that love for traveling and pursuing their dreams. People always talk about the friends they make while working in the industry and how those bonds remain for a lifetime.
Everyone loves entertainment in all shapes and forms. The job is great and it enjoys a very high demand as the need to entertain others will always be a great priority for prospective employers who are always looking for talented, high-spirited and adventurers just like you to join their ranks and help them provide their guests with unforgettable experiences.
As we mentioned before, your qualifications pretty much depend on your skills so there isn't a list that tells you exactly what you need to know or where you need to study to become an overseas entertainer. There are, however, a few programs that can help you prepare for the job and they are located all over the world.


Foreclosure is when an insured creditor, usually a bank, attempts to recover the money due to them based on a promissory note selling the collateral. In simpler terms, you have probably borrowed money from a bank or mortgage company to buy or refinance a property.
As part of lending you the money, you made an agreement that if you could not afford to pay them back, they could take the house. Events associated with these actions is the process of foreclosure.
You have 20 days to respond to a default claim. If you do nothing, the mortgage company will sweep you and take over your home within three to four months. A foreclosure attorney who is knowledgeable with property law can help, whether you are ahead of the game or days away from the deadline.
Your home plays a significant role in the life of your family. They are a symbol of unity, security and family memories. The prospect of losing your house due to unforeseen financial problems, such as unemployment or a medical emergency, is frightening and stressful. It is crucial and comforting to know that there are options in this situation.
If you intend to end the foreclosure process for a loan modification, short sale, the sale of your property or bankruptcy file, Jacksonville foreclosure attorney will work diligently to help you understand the benefits and consequences of each option to help you make the most educated and objective decisions possible.
An exit defense against foreclosure action will also buy the borrower more time in situations where the borrower may be suffering financially. Once a struggling borrower begins to increase the spouse"s income, the greater the likelihood that the borrower will not qualify for a mortgage modification.
Also, because of the income requirements associated with filing Chapter 13 to save your home, a proper foreclosure defense can buy the borrower long enough to meet the requirements related to Chapter 13 income tax rebate plan.
In the worst case, when the home is lost in a public auction, a strong defense exclusion also translates into a more profitable outcome for the borrower. A strong defense of the foreclosure lawsuit can delay a foreclosure claim for several months or even years.
Since the borrower does not continue payments on his mortgages during that time, the borrower has the luxury of saving his money over an extended period while demand is pending.
For example, if a borrower can save $ 1,000 a month since He is not paying off his mortgage and refuses to defend against the foreclosure action and the home properly is sold at an auction in four months, the borrower has only able to save up $ 4,000. However, if the borrower aggressively defends the stock and the home is lost in fifteen months, the borrower was able to save $ 15,000.
Even in cases where the home is lost, most of the time it is more profitable to hire a Jacksonville foreclosure attorney to represent your rights.
Throughout the state of Florida, a foreclosure is a legal process, which means that the lender must use the court system to foreclose on your mortgage.
Compared to states with a non-judicial foreclosure process, Florida"s foreclosure process offers the property owner with more opportunities and time to remedy the situation.


Tribe Theory is creating a new category in the hospitality industry, targeted at hipsters, hackers, and hustlers.
"Your meeting begins from the moment you leave home," writes Sally Hogshead in The Ultimate Guide to Surviving Business Travel in 2018. As an entrepreneur on a work trip, seizing every potential business opportunity that comes your way is crucial.
To accomplish such feat, you need to look beyond your scheduled meetings for the trip and check out potential start-up communities or ecosystems within the locale where you can connect and network with possible partners or suppliers.
Imagine having instant access to this community within the confines of your hotel — this is exactly the thinking that went on behind Vikram Bharati's Tribe Theory, a Singapore-based hotel geared towards start-up entrepreneurs. While backpacking for two years to over 50 countries and staying in hostels, Bharati wanted to create that same affordable, community-driven space, but this time for business-minded travelers keen on getting things done and being on the lookout for the next big opportunity.
Industry insights provided by Smith Travel Research reveal that economy hotel chains represent only 3% of the total hotels in Southeast Asia, lagging behind Japan (10%) and China (44%). With the region's burgeoning start-up ecosystem pooling in $6.5 billion in disclosed equity funding in 2017, Tribe Theory has a massive gap to fill, as the need for start-up entrepreneur-focused accommodations has effectively created a new category in the region's hospitality industry.
Tribe Theory officially launched last March 1, when it hosted a backyard event that saw more than a hundred entrepreneurs and ecosystem builders connecting over shared experiences in the start-up community. During its three-month pre-launch period, the hotel venture lodged over 500 global entrepreneurs from over 40 countries.
"Staying at Tribe Theory has helped me not only connect with other entrepreneurs who've helped me with my business but also make friends with others on a similar journey," says Australian entrepreneur Daniel Liang, founder and CEO of Qnect, who stayed in the hotel while raising a round of funding.
Liang even extended his three-night stay to a week because he found the space to be a melting pot from which innovative ideas are shared and business networks are expanded because of the like-minded business travelers staying there. Events are also held at the loft for entrepreneurs. "[There's] a real working environment. Other people working rather socialising at a hostel is rare, but Tribe has made it happen," says Liang.
The REAPRA-backed venture hotel prices its single capsule rooms at $35 during the week and $45 during weekends. "REAPRA believes in self-actualizing entrepreneurship that draws upon an individual's reason for existence, unique experiences, and vision of the future. Vikram has been involved in many start-ups and venture investments throughout the world which has equipped him with the insights and empathy to understand the hipsters, hackers, and hustlers who are his consumers and partners," shares Dennis Ye, research lead at venture builder and investment group REAPRA.
To achieve the venture builder's goals in the Southeast Asian start-up ecosystem, Ye points out that Tribe Theory and Bharati, a former employee heading investments for REAPRA, is a perfect fit for the investment group's multidimensional hands-on support. "Vikram is the ideal entrepreneur to create this new hybrid category of venture hotels and build a strong network and brand based on location and design. Investing in Tribe Theory is part of our broader strategy to create innovative and sustainable models for supporting the regional start-up ecosystem in Southeast Asia," relates Ye.
REAPRA is an investor in Sycamore Media Holdings, which publishes Inc. Southeast Asia.

Of all of those, it feels like the most significant is Citrix Analytics Services, and for good reason. Several, actually.
First, Citrix CEO himself, Kirill Tatarinov, said so. "This is, perhaps, *the most critical announcement* at this conference. And it doesn't come out of the blue." Doesn't seem to be much disagreement on that point. This comes on the heels of NetScaler MAS (Management and Analytics Services) announced last year at Synergy 2016.
Second, there has always been a huge need for visibility into the environment that the users live in. Whether that's distributed to disperate endpoints or centralized in a XenApp/XenDesktop implementation, the need to really understand what the users are doing and feeling is critical to properly managing the environment.
And third, and perhaps most importantly, security. There has never been in the history of mankind more of a need to protect users, their experience, and the data they produce and utilize, than today. Everything is connected. The Internet used to be classed as a non-critical connection; it has long since outgrown that expectation. And with the more and more organizations utilizing cloud services (think Office 365, SalesForce, and SAS as examples), the need for understanding the environment, all the way from its perimeter through every shrink-wrap or user-installed app to the slightest back-end service.
That last one gave pause for thought. One of the guests on stage with Kirill was Jim Noga, Chief Information Officer of Partners Healthcare in the Northeast. Jim said something that struck a significant chord. He said to the effect that Azure and Citrix as providers are much better at Cyber-security than any individual organization. Now, instead of being a security risk, the right cloud solutions are now ways for us all to secure our environments, their functions, and importantly, their data.
I have often said: The most important thing is the applications. This is how users get the stuff done that's important to any organization. That being said, unless that is done efficiently, it doesn't matter. Likewise, unless that is done securely, it doesn't matter. Therefore, giving users secure and efficient access to their applications in a way that makes sense for them so that they can be as effective as possible.
There was an analogy delivered later in the day about users walking down a path in the forest (complete with picture). If the users stay on the path, green light. If they stray from the path a little, we might start asking them some questions. And if they stray a lot and start visiting questionable sites, etc., we may shut them down. This is what Citrix Analytics Services is designed to do–all without waking any human up at 3am to go look at what a user is up to. It takes a lot of data to effectively make that analysis.
One other thing to think about. There has been a lot of talk about Artificial Intelligence over the past several months. Interesting thing is there has been talk about Artificial Intelligence since computers existed. We are now poised to do something about it.
But not for the reasons that are on the news. Not for the almost-human robots that can almost respond like a real person–a physical chat-bot. And not because they can out-think humans. Or take over the world with Skynet.
The real reason it's something now more than ever before is because "Artificial Intelligence" can be used to process vast amounts of data. AI is about the data. Vast amounts of data. One comment from Kirill indicates that serving 400,000 customers over the past few decades has amassed a lot of data at Citrix–data that Citrix uses to build their products, like Citrix Analytics Services. In addition, Citrix Analytics Services provides organizations with lots of intelligent data, combined with intelligent alerts, announcements–and action.
Citrix Analytics Services is Citrix's foray into AI. And it has very little to do with human-looking chat-bots.


You are here: Home » Why Not Whirl?
We live on the sun's playground.
Sometimes the body of both in one.
Went back to the ocean for awhile.
That keeps us shopping for the perfect dress?
And cannot help but Whirl.
What Power is it in our sinew and mind that will not die?
In the asking we're dropped into Mystery. It doesn't matter if you are an engineer, a scientist, or a theologian, you end up scratching your head and agreeing, "yeah, what is That?" And notice that the power in-sinew-ates itself. It shows up in, and as, both matter and as mind. This is an incarnational Mystery.
"What keeps us shopping for the perfect dress?" What an exquisite question! He takes a mundane and common industry of our daily lives—shopping for a dress (ok, it's been awhile since I last did this)—and it becomes a poet's way of interpreting evolution: Spirit trying on a diversity of dresses.
And notice the seismic shift to the first person plural. By asking what keeps us shopping for the perfect dress, we have been subtly drop-kicked into the realization that that Power that will not die and keeps taking various forms is us! We've all become mystics in that transition from third person to first person. Ah, the mission of the subversive poet accomplished.
It's also, all so, playful. The playful tone is in keeping with the grand and sweeping perspective of the poem. It's hard to take your personal life and accompanying dramas with quite as much seriousness and earnestness, when you taste into being the presence of the shape-shifting Power that will not die and will never stop trying on new dresses.
Doesn't it make you smile? This poem speaks to our transpersonal self, or better yet, the soul that is waiting to be awakened.
Hafiz answers his own questions with the same playfulness. "We have all (emphasis mine) heard the Flute Player and keep dancing toward Him." The poet includes everybody here. Nobody is let off the hook. Stop pretending. Everybody knows what it feels like to be drawn toward a deeper perfection, to be allured by the promise of more beauty, truth, and goodness.
We have all heard that song of promise being played by the Flute Player to find a more perfect dress. Well, says Hafiz, take that allurement as the most real thing about you and this blessed unfolding universe. Take that as the Mystery that pushes and pulls at us to assume new forms and new expressions of Self-in-community. This is the music of the Source of Creativity Herself—the Flute Player— that is always and forever bringing forth new universes.
For God's sake, how can we stop ourselves from whirling?

Can send a more readable version on request. I'd like to point out a very real and dangerous issue with Chevrolet Venture. We bought a 2000 model this spring. While traveling one day, my wife and I, in the front seats, thought we smelled smoke. We figured that a vehicle that passed us on the interstate was spewing fumes, so we didn't really think it was anything serious. A few seconds later, smoke starting pouring out of the front passenger seat! I yelled at my wife to pull over, and she and our three children immediately evacuated the vehicle. I stood by the passenger door, trying to find the source of this smoke, which was pouring out from the front and the back of the seat. I pulled out the storage drawer under the seat, expecting something there. It was at that point that I looked behind the seat, so see the entire bottom of the seat glowing bright orange from open flames. Instinct took over at that point, and I very quickly pulled out the contents under the seat - a child's book, a spiral-bound notebook, and a nylon seat-belt cover designed for children. I then began stamping out the items and the burning carpet with my shoes and bare hands. All of this took, at most, 15-20 seconds. My wife successfully pulled the children very far away from the vehicle, for fear of the fire spreading, and maybe even causing an explosion. Had I thought about my actions rather than reacting by instinct, I probably should have left the vehicle as well. The cause? there are several connectors under the front seats of the Chevy Venture. On our van, the sets of black connectors are not used. (I would guess they are for power seats, which we do not have). At any rate, these connectors are "hot" (meaning there is a voltage present on the pins of the connectors) and not covered in any way. When my daughter stopped drawing in her spiral-bound notebook, it fell off the seat, and landed under the front seat. The wire in the notebook created a short between the unpr.
Electrical cluster was rusted causing failure/shorting of other components (speedometer, ABS, seat belt and coolant lights).

The new season is underway for the U11 Flixton Tornadoes. Unlike previous seasons, the full rules of the game now apply including offsides and back pass. There's also the larger pitches and goals to wrestle with. As you'd imagine, this makes for a much more open and at times, chaotic game.
The season's opener was a thriller, full of everything you could want from a game of football as a neutral. For the coach, it was tense, to say the least.
There were plenty of goals, missed penalties from both teams, goals ruled out for offside and some sublime passing and movement throughout the game. For the Tornadoes, this was a solid start considering there were so many new rules to adapt to. Well done lads!
In our second game, another win came and the team showed a significant improvement in their understanding of the offside. Having the confidence to play further up the pitch helped to compress the play and win the ball back earlier than we might have otherwise done. The team showed sublime skill and dedicated teamwork in a convincing performance that was full of goals, and thankfully, a lot easier on their coach's nerves!
Overall, the start to the season has been positive with incremental gains in overall gameplay and understanding, but there's still a long way to go – onwards and upwards!

Floyd Mayweather Buys $18 Million "Billionaire Watch"

Boxing champ Floyd Mayweather has a known passion for shiny, super expensive, fabulous things, be they cars, private jets, diamond jewelry or watches.
That said, if you thought he couldn't get any flashier, wait till you hear this: he is now the owner of a one-of-a-kind diamond watch worth $18 million. It's appropriately called "The Billionaire Watch" and, in true Mayweather fashion, he is showing it off on social media.
You know what they say, if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one to see it, did it ever fall? The same goes for celebrities (no matter their field of expertise) and fancy things: if they can't show them off to the world, what's the use in buying them?
In the post in which he brags about his new timepiece, the boxing champ also tells the world they should google the "Billionaire Watch" if they haven't heard about it yet. We did so you don't have to.
Mayweather's new timepiece isn't just for showing off. It's a true work of art, containing 239 emerald-cut baguette diamonds worth a total of 260 carats. Each diamond weighs up to 3 carats.
The watch was created in 2015 by Jacob & Co. and Mayweather purchased it from jeweler Tadashi Fukushima. He says he's so impressed by the pieces this jeweler sells (this watch included) that he'll never buy from someone else ever again. He's even urging his fans and followers to switch jewelers and to buy from Fukushima. Because regular Joes and Janes can afford this kind of luxury.
"Created as a unique piece, The Billionaire truly epitomizes the brand's passion for breaking boundaries," Jacob & Co. "As the tourbillon caliber brings dynamism to its bejeweled enclosure, or the ballet of light of 260 carats of diamonds illuminates its exquisitely revealed heartbeat. The Billionaire is a dazzling representation of the courageous and rebellious Jacob & Co. spirit."
Again, this is a one-of-a-kind piece, so if you're thinking of listening to Mayweather and switch jewelers, you can't get yours from Fukushima. You'll just have to wait until Mayweather grows bored with it.
This my new timepiece, it's called "The Billionaire Watch". If you don't know about it, google Billionaire Watch. That's $18 Million on the price tag. I bought this watch from the best jeweler in the world, hands down @tadashi1980. He has better prices than any other jeweler that I've ever done business with ever and trust me, I've bought jewelry from every jeweler in NYC, Vegas, LA, Detroit, Houston and Miami. From here on out I'm only buying from @tadashi1980 fire your jeweler and hire @tadashi1980 Follow his page now.

Link to my original blog on my original recipe for "Tuscan spice mix ingredients" (Proud to say my blog came up as #1 on google search with the terms in quotes).
Have gained a fond interest in all things TUSCAN, especially the culture and the food. Have found the "culprit" or MIA in two of the three of the commercial Tuscan seasonings that I reviewed is the lack of FENNEL* in the seasonings and in the third product there is also no fennel but they have added sesame seeds (rarely used at all in Tuscan cooking)!!
I think this is a huge oversight on a company this large. I do believe they DIDN'T DO THEIR HOMEWORK.
Commercial canned diced tomatoes with garlic. Oh my, I never buy that. After the very first time, years ago, that I bought diced tomatoes with garlic I NEVER BOUGHT THAT PRODUCT AGAIN. TOO MUCH GARLIC.
Same with canned diced tomatoes with Italian seasoning: OVER DONE especially with OREGANO.
NOTE: I personally love garlic and oregano and fennel but commercial producers tend to overdo. I don't know why but maybe they are afraid that people won't think they are getting their money's worth OR their cooks (certainly not chefs) are so crappy they don't know better. Subtlety is not their forte.
*FENNEL If you have never cooked with fresh fennel then you are missing something. It is nothing like the dried jarred fennel. It is subtle and not strong at all.
PRODUCT 3 - Victoria Taylor's Seasonings - Tuscan Seasoning (no fennel but sesame oil & seeds??) Researched over 50 websites in April and TODAY and found no sesame seeds in any tuscan spice mixes or cooking. However, just found something. Look below this group of photos!
I found one recipe with coriander seeds that I noticed. Look at these seeds!!
Wow, don't they look alike? Could this be the mistake on the above spice?
WHY AM I DOING THIS? I think if you are going to be a good cook or even a chef you have to get the ingredients right. If someone doesn't like an herb or spice and you want to make it anyway, cut down the amount. For someone who doesn't like a lot of oregano or fennel or ... cut down the amount so you will have the ORIGINALITY of the recipe and/or the area.
SEE LINK AT TOP OF PAGE FOR MY ORIGINAL TUSCAN SPICE MIX INGREDIENTS!!
See photos. Recommended amount of sodium per day for an adult is 1500 - 2200 (max) per day.
The last photo shows the sodium. Both chicken and beef have same amount of sodium so i didn't bother with another photo. Now think about it. If you make something for one meal for 2 (1 cup per person) you have over 1/2 of daily alloted sodium per day and that is just the broth. If you drink that and eat one other thing you have GOTTEN YOUR SODIUM FIX FOR THE DAY!!
There are hundreds of web sites out there warning of sodium dangers. This is just one above.
Heady, rich, and throughly warming, large steaming bowls of traditional Vietnamese beef and rice noodle pho are the perfect centerpiece for a cold-weather weekend gathering.
which is the final home of the Harmony Society, one of America's most successful Christian communal groups. It is a National Historic Landmark that is open year round. There are 16,000 Harmonist objects exhibited in 17 restored structures between 1824 and 1830.
The purpose of this blog is to talk about the food (German) with excerpts from 18th and 19th century German cookbooks in the collections of Old Economy Village.
Courtesy of the interesting read I purchased entitled "from the Harmonist "Küche" ".
Why am I writing this series? I am German, Scotch-Irish and Welsh from western Pennsylvania.
And, yes, I am a Steelers' fan!
Enough of that story but since my heritage is German (my dad sang to me in German when I was small) and having had the fortune of living there for a year I am interested in all things German, especially German cooking.
Cookbooks in the 18th and 19th century were nothing like they are now!!
and no measurements and no temperatures!!
I have a included a link below from WIKI showing the area. If you click on the map it will get larger and you can find the area noted.
NOTE: I know the link above looks crazy but it works!!
Take half of a white head of cabbage; remove the inner rib. Cabbage is boiled lightly in salted water. Drain, put in fresh cold water. You may use a strainer or a napkin, so that the cabbage is well drained. A piece of butter is added to a broth, seasoned with nutmeg and pepper; allow drained cabbage to boil till soft. (This is confusing to me. Says nothing about putting the cabbage back in the water nor any measurements for the nutmeg and pepper nor for the amount of time to cook it ...) Prepare a soup of meat broth; serve over white bread slices; arrange cabbage in the middle. Pour broth over all.
Peel sour apples, as many as you need. Chop them fine; roast them a little in LARD. Take a few peeled, chopped almonds, moisten them just barely in sweet cream. Mix all this together with finely grated bread crumbs. Add eggs to bring to the right thickness. Add raisins, sugar and cinnamon. Roll the formed round dumplings in flour and fry in LARD. With this belongs a sweet broth made from sugar, cinnamon, chopped almonds, onions, raisins and a little wine.
Boil or roast young chickens as you like. Take currants, add wine, cinnamon, and sugar and let boil together. Pour this broth over the chickens.
All excerpts above from "from the Harmonist "Küche" ".

"The blue Coast" that is the French Riviera stretches from Monte Carlo to St Tropez in a series of seaside towns and resorts. Nice: the Italiante grand dame of cities; focal point for region; Mardi Gras, Carnival, flower & vegetable markets and has inviting sights. Cannes: Casinos, St. Tropez for beaches. Antibes and Juan-les-Pins for its associations with the Lost Generation.
Throughout the area are numerous museums containing works of painters who have lived there. Focus on food is the bouillabaisse of Marseilles, the anchovy oil and garlic tips, the minestrone-like Soupe Pistou, pissaladiere--an onion and tomato pizza, pan bagnat--a sandwich of tomatoes, onions, peppers, olives and oil, the cream garlic fish stew bourride, fresh sardines stuffed with spinach and dozens of Provencale dishes combining eggplants, artichokes, peppers, garlic and oil.
Bagna Cauda, Italian for warm bath, refers to the hot, piquant dipping sauce one finds along the Riviera from Genoa to Barcelona. Assorted raw vegetables, such as celery sticks, carrot sticks, cauliflowerets, broccoli flowers, green pepper strips, mushroom caps, scallions, etc.
