This Passover, Choose Judaism
Contributed by Be'chol Lashon
My wife and I are an interracial couple. I am a White, Ashkenazi Jewish man from New York. She is a Black woman from Detroit, raised in the Lutheran faith, who converted (to Jewish, not to White. She's still Black). Our 3 year old Biracial son is Jewish.
When I talk about my wife's conversion, rather than saying she converted I like to say that she's Jewish by choice. I do this because conversion sounds like the process by which a sofa becomes an uncomfortable bed. Or it sounds like something that happens by magic. I wave my magic wand and "poof" you're Jewish. Whereas being a Jewish person by choice requires a conscious affirmative decision.
And make no mistake, being Jewish is a choice, whether you were born into our Tribe or whether you joined us midway through the show. Because being Jewish isn't easy. For starters, there's the fact that lots of people hate us. Then, there's the fact that in this nation and the world we're outsiders. Yes, we manage to assimilate wherever we reside, but as history shows us, Jews, no matter how much a part of the society in which we live, are still always a bit on the outside. And, of course, there are all the rules. Don't eat this. Don't eat that. Don't eat at all. Love the stranger, but don't intermarry with them. Don't wear wool and linen together. Wear a tiny hat that's exactly the right size to never stay on your head. Sit outside during football season in a shed that has porous walls and no roof. Pursue justice, but by the same token, it's not a problem to have slaves if you're generally nice to them. Count the Omer (once you figure out what the Omer is). Read, study and love this book that's inconveniently not provided on an iPad but is in the form of a giant, heavy scroll. And, if you drop that book, you're not allowed to eat for a day (or 40).
Given these inherent challenges to leading a Jewish life, why did my wife choose to be Jewish. Well, obviously, it's because being a Black woman in America was just way too easy, and she needed a challenge.
In America, as we know from demographic data (and from walking into synagogue on Saturday mornings . . . that is, for those of us who wake up early enough to do that), there aren't that many Jews "of color" in America. There are some, and the numbers are growing all the time. But, if you walk into any Congregation Bet Something or Temple Something Shalom and for sure if you walk into Agudath Something (the Orthodox shul) on any given Saturday, even in New York City, you're not going to see that many Black people.
And, that's unfortunate for any number of reasons. First of all, given where Jews—Hebrews—originated (just a stone's throw from North and East Africa), it's a good bet that many of us were Black (or to use a modern phrase "Blackish"). Did Abraham or Moses look like Denzel Washington? Maybe not. But, it's likely that they looked more like him (or maybe Omar Sharif in Lawrence of Arabia ) than they looked like your Uncle Sol or your Grandpa Murray. Which means somewhere along the way we lost some color.
Second, there is a parallel between the Jewish experience in Egypt (and the Exodus therefrom) and the history of African-Americans. Indeed, as we approach the Passover holiday, it is apt to remember that the struggle for freedom and self-determination in Ancient Egypt and in this country are stories with similar narratives. In fact, the parallels are so strong, that because of my wife's (and our son's) background, and to make her family feel more at home when they celebrate the holiday with us, we've modified our Seder to create a fusion of these two stories and created a Haggadah that reflects the flight to freedom of both cultures:
"When we were slaves in Egypt . . . and the Southern United States. Moses . . . and Dr. King said, "let my people go." When they were refused, God . . . and the NAACP, set forth 10 plagues . . . and many lawsuits. And, the people went out, and they searched for years, till they could find a homeland where they could be free and enjoy self determination. We speak of course of the land of Brooklyn. Where Blacks and Jews roam free, even to this day."
Then we eat matzah and play the game "guess which Biracial Hollywood actor is Black and Jewish."
We don't actually say all that, but I do think it. Because our family isn't just Jewish. It's Black and Jewish, and it's important to remember the history of both those cultures and how much they sync up.
So, why did my wife choose Judaism? Well, I like to think it's because she loved me and becoming Jewish was just a small price to pay to be able to spend a lifetime with me and my neuroses.
More importantly, though, I think it's because she saw in the story of the Jewish people a story that she already knew from her vantage point as a Black person, and that story was comfortable and familiar and filled with the same themes of exodus and freedom.
But, most importantly of all, I think it's because choosing is at the very core of what it means to live a fulfilling life, especially a fulfilling Jewish life. Indeed, to my mind, that we are the "Chosen People" refers not to the fact that we were chosen for some special status so much as it refers to the fact that each day, each Jewish person must affirmatively choose whether they will follow the mitzvot or not.
So, why did my wife choose Judaism? For the same reason the slaves of Egypt chose it—she wanted to be free to live life on terms she consciously agreed to rather than those that had been selected and mandated for her.
Why do you choose?

Welcoming All: An Inclusive Passover Reading
At Passover, we receive a personal directive to create an inclusive and welcoming community. Even when we intend to be welcoming, many in our community still feel like strangers. The things that divide us — race, ethnicity, gender, class, religion, among others — also have the power to unite us. During the Seder, we are each meant to remember that we ourselves were once strangers in a strange land. If the Jewish community is to be a home for all, we...


Grow your muscles by giving them a break?
How many of you reading this right now plan detraining periods in your training regimen? I would imagine there is a small, but probably not real high percentage. How many of you that do plan detraining periods, do for a ten day period or more? I know what you are thinking, ten days or more off from training? Why don't I just shave my beard, stop peeing in the shower, and become a Birkenstock- wearing vegan?


HWTs are used to detect significant changes in signal values. In this post, I formalize the claim that some changes can be characterized as signal spikes. Specifically, four types of spikes are proposed: up-down triangle, up-down trapezoid, down-up triangle, and down-up trapezoid. The difference between up-down and down-up spikes is the relative positions of the climb and decline segments. In trapezoid spikes, flat segments are always in between the climb and decline segments, regardless of their relative positions. In this post, I will formalize up-down spikes and leave a similar formalization of down-up spikes for my next post.
Fig. 1 shows up-down triangle and trapezoid spikes. In this figure, the lower graphs represent the possible values of the corresponding Haar wavelets at a chosen scale k.
Up-down spikes describe signals that first increase and then, after an optional flat segment, decrease. Formally, a spike is a nine element tuple whose elements are real numbers in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. Formal characterization of a spike.
The first two elements, and , are the abscissae of the beginning and end of the spike's climb segment, respectively, when the wavelet coefficients of the 1D HWT increase. If and are the k-th scale wavelet coefficient ordinates at and respectively, then the climb segment of the spike is measured by the angle The decline angle of a spike is characterized by and where and are the abscissae of the beginning and end of the spike's decline segment, respectively, when the wavelet coefficients decrease. If and are the k-th scale wavelet coefficient ordinates at and respectively, then the decline segment of the spike is measured by the angle .
For a trapezoid up-down spike, the flat segment is characterized by and where and are the abscissae of the beginning and end of the spike's flat segment, respectively, over which the wavelet coefficients either remain at the same ordinate or have minor ordinate fluctuations. If and are the k-th scale wavelet coefficients corresponding to and respectively, the spike's flatness angle is . The absolute values of are close to 0.


Is this why people pay $500/night for hotel rooms?
This is not going to be one of those posts where I've got it all figured out. These ideas are not perfectly formed, but it's an idea I can't shake. Writing often ends up helping me turn random ideas into slightly more cohesive concepts, so here goes.
Let me start with three stories.
Once upon a time a friend of mine had courtside tickets to a Nuggets game. He invited me to go. I, of course, said yes. It was very, very cool to be so close to the players and the action, but watching the game itself wasn't any better than watching 10, 15, even 20 rows up. In fact, I'd say it was quite a bit worse.
The first time I used valet parking i was surprised by two things. First, I felt pretty cool handing my keys to some dude like I'd seen in the movies and letting him park my car. But after valeting a few more times, I realized that it really wasn't any faster or easier or more convenient than parking myself.
The fanciest place I'd eaten at prior to 2011 was a ~$25/plate meal. Since then, that number has grown quite a bit, but what's surprised me on every occasion is that the food is good, but it's not that good. And in many cases, it's no better than something that'd cost $10/plate.
I think the answers that might come to mind are things like service or ambiance or quality. And while each of those words has merit, I think it's deeper than that. I also think it's much more simple than that.
Because the word I would use is importance.
As I've thought over these experiences and observed myself and others around me choose luxury over middle-class, that's the word I keep coming to.
Why did I like it when I sat closer than anyone else at the game even if I couldn't see the action as well? It made me feel important.
Why did it seem so cool to haven someone else does a petty think like parking our car for us, even if it doesn't save us time? It made me feel important.
I may not be right. I could be a universe away from the truth.
But I can't help but see this pattern show up again and again around me. And once you look at some of these experiences through that lens…it becomes hard not to see it.
Like I said, this is a half-baked idea, but the reason I bring it up is because when you look at guest service not as "solving a guest's problems" or merely "helping someone with something" but "making people feel important" a really interesting mental pivot results. The ideas and insights that come are things that don't bubble up when the extent of the goal is a vague word like service.
So if you're stuck on ways to increase service, maybe try thinking of ways to increase importance instead.
And if you totally disagree with me, say so! I'd love to hear how other people look at stuff like this.

Guillermo Ortega Athlete Ambassador
Guillermo is a long-distance triathlete who has completed some tough mountainous races in Europe. He talks to Sundried about life as a triathlete.
I played tennis until I was 20 and then started surfing. I got into triathlon in 2009.
What made you decide to enter the world of triathlon?
I've always loved running but found it wasn't enough for me, so I started cycling and competing in duathlons. After that it was a natural progression to triathlon.
Embrunman because it's one of the toughest triathlons in the world. It's a full distance triathlon (3.8km swim, 186km bike, 42.2km run) in the Alps in France.
My proudest achievement was finishing Embrunman in 2014.
Have you ever had any racing disasters / your toughest race yet?
I've never really had a bad disaster, and I try to forget the bad moments anyway.
How do you overcome setbacks?
I think of my family and friends and their support.
What is the best bit of advice you wish someone had told you before you started competing?
Pace yourself and remember the true race is the one against yourself.
What are your goals for 2018?
I will be competing in the Terres de l'ebre triathlon in Spain and Northwest Triman in Galicia, Spain.
Mark Allen, six-time Ironman triathlon world champion.
For me, respect for the environment is very important and Sundried is a pioneer brand in that sense. I really like to think about the future of the planet and want to leave our children a healthy world. My favourite is the Sundried Albaron men's training top.

Stephen Hawking was a scientist, professor, and author best known for his groundbreaking work on black holes and relativity.
Some of his books are among the most popular and well-known science books ever published. Let's learn some cool facts about him and be sure to try our fun quiz at the end!
Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on January 8, 1942. His parents were Isobel and Frank, both graduates of Oxford University.
Frank was a medical researcher and Isobel was a secretary at a research institute. Stephen had two younger sisters and an adopted brother.
The family was considered both intelligent and eccentric. Meals were often spent in silence as family members read books.
When Stephen was eight, the family moved to St. Albans. His father had gotten an important job at the National Institute for Medical Research.
There, Stephen attended St. Alban's School.
At school, Stephen's nickname was "Einstein," and he showed great talent in science and mathematics. After graduation, he enrolled at University College, Oxford.
Stephen's father wanted him to study medicine, but Stephen wanted to study mathematics.
There was no mathematics degree at University College, so he decided to study physics and chemistry instead.
After graduating from University College, Stephen attended Cambridge University.
He earned a PhD in applied mathematics and theoretical physics, with a concentration in cosmology and general relativity.
While at Cambridge, Stephen was diagnosed with a form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease. At first, doctors gave him just two and a half years to live.
Soon, Stephen needed a wheelchair, and his speech became hard to understand. However, the disease progressed much more slowly than doctors had expected.
Stephen was helped by a California computer programmer who had invented a speaking program that could be directed by head or eye movement.
Because he wasn't sure how much time he had left, Stephen became even more involved with his work. He wrote many important scientific books.
After earning his PhD, Stephen became a research fellow at Gonville and Caius College.
He later worked at the Institute of Astronomy before returning to the University of Cambridge as a research assistant.
He eventually became a professor of Gravitational Physics at Cambridge. Later, he was given the prestigious title Lucasian Professor of Mathematics.
Beginning in 2009, Stephen was the Dennis Stanton Avery and Sally Tsui Wong-Avery Director of Research at Cambridge.
Stephen Hawking studied the basic laws that control the universe. He became his generation's leader in the study of gravity and black holes.
He discovered that black holes leak radiation and particles and eventually explode. This discovery was a step toward connecting cosmology and quantum physics, two major theories of the universe.
In 1988, Stephen wrote A Brief History of Time, which made him famous. The book offered an overview of space and time that the average person could understand.
It was translated into over 40 languages.
He followed this book with works that were even easier to understand: The Universe in a Nutshell and A Briefer History of Time.
These later books also touched on new developments like string theory.
Stephen wanted to explain how the universe began. He was also convinced that time travel is a possibility and that humans may colonize other planets in the future.
In September 2010, Stephen Hawking published The Grand Design, which discussed the Big Bang theory.
In his lifetime, he published 15 books and received 13 honorary degrees.
On July 14, 1965, Stephen married Jane Wilde, who he had met at Cambridge. They had three children: Robert, Lucy, and Timothy.
The couple divorced in 1995. Stephen fell in love with and married one of his nurses, Elaine Mason. Elaine and Stephen divorced in 2006.
In his later years, Stephen remained close to his first wife Jane, their three children, and their three grandchildren.
Stephen was also known in his personal life for taking risks. He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon.
At 65, he participated in a zero-gravity flight on a Boeing 727.
He hoped to travel to space.
Stephen continued pursuing research, writing books, and receiving scientific awards and honors into his later years.
50 years later than predicted, Stephen Hawking died from his disease on March 14, 2018. He was 76 years old.
Along with scientific geniuses like Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking's ashes were buried in Westminster Abbey.
Stephen's discoveries have inspired many modern scientific researchers and led to new understandings about the universe.
His life has also been an inspiration to millions.

Andrzej IV Noskowski herbu Łada (ur. 1492, zm. 23 października 1567) – biskup płocki, starosta nowomiejski w 1565 roku, kanonik płocki, krakowski i pułtuski, kanonik gnieźnieńskiej kapituły katedralnej  od 1545 roku, starosta bolemowski w 1564 roku, fundator i mecenas z epoki Renesansu.

Życiorys
Urodził się w mazowieckiej rodzinie szlacheckiej herbu Łada w Noskowie Małym koło Zakroczymia. Od 1511 studiował na Akademii Krakowskiej. Był kanclerzem ostatnich książąt mazowieckich. Od 1521 pełnił urząd proboszcza w Wąsoszy.

Od 1539 kanonik kapituły płockiej, potem także warszawskiej, pułtuskiej oraz proboszcz kościoła NMP w Nowej Warszawie. Od 1545 był kanonikiem gnieźnieńskim. Biskupem płockim został mianowany w 1546 dzięki poparciu króla Zygmunta I Starego i królowej Bony. Przeprowadził remont katedry płockiej.

Szczególnie przyczynił się do rozwoju miasta Pułtuska. W 1557 uzyskał od króla Zygmunta Augusta potwierdzenie przywilejów nadanych przez jego ojca w 1533. Uczestniczył w synodzie w Warszawie w 1561 roku. W 1565 sprowadził z Braniewa do miasta jezuitów, którzy rok później utworzyli tam swoje drugie w Rzeczypospolitej i wkrótce bardzo znane kolegium. Rozbudowany został zamek biskupi.

Od początku jego rządów Jan Baptysta Wenecjanin prowadził rozbudowę według kanonów Renesansu kolegiaty pułtuskiej. Świątynia otrzymała kolebkowe sklepienie, pokryte dekoracją kasetonową oraz kaplicę wzorowaną na kaplicy Zygmuntowskiej na Wawelu. Biskup zamówił także kosztem 216 florenów namalowanie w niej ogromnych polichromii, które podjął się wykonać mistrz Wojciech z Warszawy. Wkrótce jednak musieli mu pomóc dodatkowo Stanisław z Łomży i Stanisław z Liwu. Po pożarze w XVII wieku pokryto ją tynkiem i zamalowano. Ponownie odkryto polichromie przy okazji remontu w 1994.

W 1558 był fundatorem tzw. Bursa Noscoviana, która zapewniała mieszkania w Krakowie dla 40 studentów z Mazowsza. Połowa z nich przyjmowana była za rekomendacją kapituł płockiej i pułtuskiej. Po ukończeniu studiów mieli obowiązek odpracować pomoc w szkołach Płocka i Pułtuska przez minimum 3 lata. Na miejscu bursy stoi dziś budynek Collegium Novum UJ, w który wmurowana jest tablica pamiątkowa.

Po śmierci w 1567 został pochowany w kaplicy w kolegiacie pułtuskiej.

Hidden In This Climbing Gym: A Thriving Co-Working Space
Seth Porges
Former Contributor
On the walls: Harnessed climbers leaping from hold to hold. On the floor: Weight-lifting and yoga-classing exercisers. And mixed through it all: Tables full of laptop-tapping entrepreneurs and freelancers.
This is the newest location of the Brooklyn Boulders climbing gym, which (despite its name) is actually in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens. This is also the newest iteration of an experiment: Can a fully functional co-working space exist in the midst of the sweat, chalk, chaos, and camaraderie of a large-scale climbing gym? A one-stop shop for your body, mind, and fledgling startup. There's even a soundproof room and access to a kitchen.

Brooklyn Boulders co-founder Lance Pinn describes how a member could spend pretty much their entire day at the gym:
"When we arrive, we grab some nitro cold brew from the retail shop, then head to any available hot desk to set up shop. Then, we blast through languishing emails and assignments for a quick half hour or more, until we notice that we've been too stagnant. That's when we take a break and go for a quick climb or three to get the blood pumping and warm up the rest of the body. Then it's back to work or a call. Step and repeat throughout the day, maybe taking a break at lunch time to play ping-pong, or horse around on the slack line or ninja warrior training equipment. Then, a little computer work before dinner and we can jump in a capoeira class or train for a bit, then relax in the sauna and take a shower before going out to get some ramen. For some reason, there always seems to be a ramen shop that pops up around each Brooklyn Boulders location within a year of our opening."
If you've ever dreamed of having a gym—not to mention a climbing wall, yoga studio, and sauna—within steps of your desk, the appeal of mixing work with working out is obvious. And with a large (and always growing) body of research linking physical exercise to mental firepower, it's not hard to see such a setup serving as a productivity boost for at least some people.
According to Pinn, the evolution of Brooklyn Boulders into a co-working space was organic. The gym's original location, opened in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn in 2009, has long had free Wi-Fi that visitors would frequently take advantage of by tackling work tasks between climbs and reps. "They were just hunched over on their laptops on the mats and we actually had to ask them to come to our offices in the back because we had no seating designed for co-working," Pinn says.
So when the company began opening new locations, it began to look for ways to better accommodate such laptop warriors. Its chief inspiration: Starbucks.
"We integrated a 'Starbucks Experience' into our retail area," Pinn says. "Once the space was made, we could observe how people were using it, and that's when we noticed that they were starting to camp out all day and take breaks every so often. We decided to customize the seating and add pull-up bars above standing desks to make the space as accommodating as possible for the lifestyle that we were co-creating with our members."
Since then, a number of members have turned Brooklyn Boulders into their daily office space, which is (somewhat surprisingly) a budget alternative to a traditional co-working space. Desk access at co-working giant WeWork starts at $220. Membership at the Queens Brooklyn Boulders costs $135 a month. And while traditional co-working spaces certainly offer a larger suite of work-centric amenities, it would be very unusual for one to have a climbing wall (or 10).
Brooklyn Boulders now has four locations: Brooklyn, Queens, Chicago, and Somerville, Massachusetts. All of them have Wi-Fi and at least some co-working friendly space, though only the newer locations were built with this feature in mind from the ground up.

Camille Raynaud fue un escultor francés, nacido en Cordes-sur-Ciel el año 1868 y fallecido después de 1931, en fecha desconocida. Relacionado con la región de Mediodía Pirineos, participó en la decoración escultórica del Monumento a los Combatientes de la Primera Guerra Mundial del Alto Garona, levantado en Toulouse.

Datos biográficos
Brillante alumno de la Escuela Superior de las Bellas Artes de Toulouse, recibió numerosos premios. Completó su formación en París, en los talleres de Alexandre Falguière y el de Rodin. ·Instalado en Toulouse desde 1903, se dedicó a la docencia en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de la ciudad. Uno de sus primeros trabajos fue la restauración del gran relieve de los ponts Jumeaux en Toulouse, obra del escultor François Lucas. En 1907 coincidió en el claustro de profesores con Abel Fabre, siendo ambos profesores del escultor Sylvestre Clerc.

Memoriales de la Primera Guerra Mundial
 Memorial de Haute-Garonne, en Toulouse -
junto a Francois Verdier. El monumento fue concebido como un "homenaje a los muertos", y especialmente "a la gloria de todos los combatientes muertos o vivos." La glorificación del patriotismo contenida en este monumento es una exaltación de la victoria en lugar de una conmemoración de los muertos. La construcción se decidió por el Consejo General en agosto de 1919 y la adjudicación se hizo por un concurso "abierto a todos los arquitectos y escultores franceses conectados por su educación con la región de Toulouse." Si bien el diseño se adjudicó al arquitecto Leon Jaussely, también participaron los escultores Moncassin, André Abbal y Camille Raynaud; este último es el responsable de la realización de los dos altorrelieves interiores del monumento, uno retratando a los combatientes y el otro una figura alegórica de la República.

It may not be appropriate in your work environment to go full on with the holiday looks, colors, and sparkle. But that doesn't mean you can't add a few touches here and there and still look professional. This sweater with its gold metallic woven thread does just that. The little bit of bling on the necklace takes it just a little further.
This look would be perfect for a New Year's Eve at work. Thankfully this year it's on the weekend and I can wear whatever I want (which may be pajamas, lol) but if it were on a work a day, I'd wear something like this to the office. In fact, I wore this just before Christmas. I needed a break from red and green, but the gold still gave a little festive touch.
How do you add festive touches to your attire?

A: If query speed is important, look into column store databases. That can be either with or without hadoop.
With hadoop, it's important to choose the right file structure. Parquet is a popular option. Query these files with:

I was heart broken to see Dan go, but when I heard David speak and say how his heart wasn't in it, I knew that, that just sealed their fate. Seeing Daniel first on the preview before the commerical confirmed it (lol), so I knew what to expect. I am so glad to see that Daniel is doing so well. 101 lbs compared to 46 lbs... ya, it seems to me that David's heart still isn't in it. Again, I'm so glad that Daniel is doing well and not being influenced negatively by his friend.
As much as I wanted Daniel to stay, as much as I know David would have really prospered from being on the ranch, I am relieved that the brown team got to stick around. Yes, for the son, but holy hell for the dad too. The guy has already had weight loss surgery and not even that helped him to keep it off. If anyone needs to be there (if we want to signal anyone out), it's him!!! Clearly the problem is bigger than himself and he needed real help. I hope this works for him, creates a new lifestyle for him where he's actually able to lose the weight and keep it off.

I have now gone into each couples threads and posted their weight loss to date...
I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but I thought it a little bit funny when that lady was so pumped to win the football challenge, when she won because she wasn't considered one of the stronger players. I mean, she did well, and she gutted it out in the end to beat Joelle, but they took the strongest and fastest out -- not just her, but everyone. So -- great job in winning, but let's keep it in perspective. It's not like she out ran everyone else, or anything like that. I also hate challenges like that, although it does give some of the weaker competitors a chance. Or at least, different types of players. But there was no way Tara, or 'black' would have won that challenge - -not a thing they could do about it. That would frustrate me.
I will be interested to see how well all who got to come back do next week, and what their weigh-in will mean. I guess we will be able to tell who has been working and who has been taking it easier. But I think all of them will have a hard time. I know you can do it at home, but I doubt anyone's workout is as intense as the ones Bob and Jillian do at the ranch.
Dan looks good-- he still has a long way to go, but he's getting there. I can't say David is doing bad, because he did lose weight too. And it doesn't matter to me how fast it comes off. I just hope he does 'get it', and sticks with it.
I loved Tara saying what she thought tonight. I get so sick of the 'hardest thing I've had to do', or 'such a tough competitor', or 'this person will do great at home' speeches.
Yes if the mom that won the immunity said one more time with such pride I WON THE CHALLENGE I was going to puke. Like Ivy said she only won because she was weak and they all teamed up to take out the strongest. She just won by default.
She should have been a little more humble about it.

My oldest is in the Military....ARMY and my youngest just started college.......he is still living at home so I am not an empty nester yet!
I have my own business.......not making millions.....just making the bills. And that is ok for me!

Any other questions? Just ask.....most of the time I will let you know!!
David screwed it for Dan.....I could see on Dan's face that when David said that he knew it was over. How sad is that. It's a shame that our younger generation has gotten to this point. I know that my younger son could loose some weight. It is just to easy for them now to drive up and get somethig to eat and then sit in front of the TV. We didn't have all that growing up.......Hopefully by watching my son will do something when the cold weather is gone or fading away.
The grandparent team was the best. I felt so sorry for Gramps. My heart went out to him. When I saw the results of them both I was so glad!! I would love to see them get $100,000.
IVY, i was saying the same thing when it happened..
I did feel good for her though.. i like pink team.
Oh yeah, I'm fine with her winning and all, but it was kind of like winning a random drawing, or even less so, because people purposely didn't put footballs in her tube. I'm not sure I like her daughter. But that might be because of some silly flour throwing incident. I don't know much about it, but for some reason it's giving me a negative vibe on her. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
I didn't keep track though -- would she have been in the bottom if she didn't have immunity?
I dont think so, she loss a descent about of weight.

Arizona Coyotes Featured Pros
Coyotes Captain Ready For Postseason Run
Sports360AZ Posted July 7, 2020 at 6:11 pm
By Andrew Bell
After spending the past few months in his home country of Sweden, Arizona Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson is ready for a return to the ice.
The Coyotes, who are back training at Gila River Arena, are in anticipation of a season restart at the beginning of August amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday, the Coyotes captain spoke to the media, highlighting his trip back home, his fully recovered knee, and the play-in series with the Nashville Predators that lies ahead.
"For us to get a chance and show that we are good enough to be a playoff team, I think that's huge for our group moving forward," Ekman-Larsson said. "We are just focused on Nashville right now and it's going to be some really tough games against them."
Just prior to the beginning of 2019-20 training camp, Ekman-Larsson had an offseason knee procedure to help a previous lower body injury.
He was dealing with the recovery process throughout the regular season, but with the hiatus due to COVID-19, the Swedish blue-liner exclaimed that he was back at 100 percent on Tuesday, with the break giving him time to heal.
"I had the knee surgery right before the season started and it didn't really get back to 100 percent," Ekman-Larsson said. "These two and a half months have been really good for me. My knee is feeling 100 percent and I've been able to get stronger and faster."
Additionally, Ekman-Larsson was able to take full advantage of ice time back home. Various nations around the world have had their own procedures on how to handle the pandemic, and in Sweden, they have been using herd immunity.
The country was not on lockdown, and the Yotes' captain was able to skate and workout frequently with no restrictions. Upon arriving back in Arizona, he was quarantined for a week and tested for the virus up until he was cleared to return to the ice in Glendale.
Ultimately, the choice to go back to Sweden resulted from Ekman-Larsson wanting to be close to family during an uncertain time. He worked out, stayed at home, and had many family games of table tennis during his time in Europe.
"I stayed over here (in Arizona) for a couple weeks after the pause and I didn't really feel comfortable without my family. That's when you really know that you need to be around your family," said Ekman-Larsson of deciding to leave the United States. "It was really nice that we got to go home and spend some time with them…We tried to hangout as much as we could and it just felt really good to be around them."
Now back in Arizona, the captain is ready for a return to the postseason – a setting he hasn't been a part of since 2012. That year was Ekman-Larsson's only year in the playoffs, and he hasn't been back since. The Yotes' were eliminated in the Western Conference Finals but during that run, they took down the Nashville Predators in the Western Conference Semifinals.
Although it's eight years later and the playoff atmosphere won't be the same with no fans at a neutral site, Ekman-Larsson has been long-awaiting an opportunity to take a run at Lord Stanley, and he'll get his shot beginning with the play-in round against Nashville.
"It just feels like it's a different game. Everybody feels faster and stronger. I don't know how it's even possible but at the same time it's another level," Ekman-Larsson said of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. "I'm glad that I've had the chance to be in the playoffs before. There's so many good teams and you don't really know when you are going to have the chance. I'm very excited to be on that side again and it's going to be fun to get that feeling."

Getting territorial? Administration's tax message seems mixed
Obama says a territorial tax system would 'create 800,000 jobs, in places like China.' | AP Photo
Geithner told the GOP leaders that he wouldn't be able to win support for a complete territorial system in which all offshore profits are exempt from U.S. taxation. But he said they could perhaps find consensus on a 95 to 96 percent exemption.
"We are prepared to move off decades of Democratic orthodoxies," Geithner said. "Complete territorial we may not be able to get. But we're going to get close and we can work with you on that."
Kevin Smith, a spokesman for Boehner, said the account in the book is accurate.
"Bob Woodward got it right," Smith told POLITICO. "Moving to a territorial tax system is critical to bringing jobs and investment income back home to America and the Obama administration agreed that was the goal."
The administration has never officially endorsed such a shift. In fact, a proposed corporate tax overhaul released by Treasury in February said that a "pure territorial system could aggravate, rather than ameliorate, many of the problems in the current tax code."
Treasury spokeswoman Sabrina Siddiqui told POLITICO the administration's position hasn't changed.
"We don't support a territorial tax system," Siddiqui said. "Our plan is based on simplifying the code and leveling the playing field for American companies, which is why we have included incentives for American companies to invest at home."
The United States currently operates under a so-called worldwide system in which companies are taxed on the earnings they generate anywhere around the globe. But companies can defer paying taxes on those profits as long as they keep them offshore.
Firms are increasingly doing just that to avoid owing more money to the Internal Revenue Service. U.S. businesses are now keeping more than $1 trillion offshore.
Congress and the presidential candidates have spent the past several years at loggerheads over what to do with taxes and spending. An overhaul of tax laws affecting individuals is seen as particularly daunting, potentially forcing popular tax provisions like the mortgage interest deduction and protection of employer-provided health care onto the chopping block.
A corporate tax code rewrite, in contrast, is seen as a much easier lift. Members of both parties agree that the current top rate of 35 percent is too high, and that any changes to the corporate system should generate the same amount of revenue as today's laws.
In fact, Geithner's comments on a territorial system with a 95 or 96 percent exemption are largely in line with a proposal House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) released last year. That framework would allow companies to exempt 95 percent of their profits generated in other countries from taxation in the United States.

Going to a "Territorial tax system" is no different than going to a 0% tax rate on corporations.
All they have to do is claim all their profits came from overseas.
In addition, it encourages them to spend all their money creating jobs.. overseas.
Remember back when all the World Trade Organization talks went on and on and on about how great it would be for US businesses to secure international trade agreements? How well is that working out for us citizens? Hmmmmmm?

You know Obama is financially illiterate when he stands there during the second debate and tells you gas prices were a low $1.86 a gal. in 2008 because the economy was so bad.
At $3.53 average per gal today we should be in a robust recovery, jobs being created in the millions, people rebuilding their wealth, buying homes and cars and paying off their college loans. roflmao at that logic.
Proof Obama is in over his heard.

The Bush tax cuts will come to their end on December 31, 2012. This means the tax rates will go back to 2000 levels. That is a tax increase to all Americans just because Obama wants to stick it to the rich.
If you make up to $26,250, you will pay 15%
if you make $26,250 $63,650, you will pay 28%
If you make $63,650 to $132,600, you will pay 31%
If you make more than $132,600, you will pay 36%
If you make more than $260,000, you will pay 39%.
SAY HELLO TO THE OBAMA TAXES!
rhondarn62
Obama's four year plan is lets increase taxes on Americans so we can become like Greece....Increase taxes on wealthy, create new taxes for the middle class even though they are already "buried"...Tax, tax, tax...Can you think of another tune, Mr. President, other than TAX...
tom-alaska
How can you have a tax plan when you don't have a "budget plan" that works? How can you drive in taxpayer dollars when all we read about is government waste? How can we keep paying government worker 34% higher for the same private sector jobs?
In summary, Obama has shown no executive leadership on a budget or running the government let alone pushing a lets tax more tax plan.
The 2012 landslide is coming. Good bye Obama.
Obama is falling apart. All he can deliver is a stupid little booklet of warmed over speeches and tries to pass it off a plan. All I hear out of him is ridicule and name calling. I heard him tell a group today "trust me". He's saying that at every whistle stop. "trust me". Ladies..I know when you hear a man say "trust me" you turn around and run like ****. Am I right...you know I am.

The Obama administration's tax message is anything but "mixed." Rather it is the product of an economic and financial illiterate, socialist, community organizer who is in over his head. It is totally consistent in the mind of Barack Hussein.
Why doesn't President Obama hold a press conference to talk about what happened in Benghazi or release the video?
Oct. 26, 2012 - 11:08 PM EST
The other message that seems mixed is the Benghazi incident....

Globalization, Americanization and Europeanization (Part I)
How well do the concepts of globalization, Americanization and Europeanization explain today's world?
By Volker Berghahn, November 13, 2007
Credit: Borislav Bajkic - Shutterstock.com
The three concepts of globalization, Americanization and Europeanization have been part of major arguments among scholars and practitioners for over 100 years. These debates, concerning the concepts' usefulness, were rooted in a sense that the concepts encapsulated vital developments and forces in the world in which we live.
Economic historians have repeatedly drawn attention to the degree of globalization achieved before 1914 — a degree that was then disrupted by two world wars and profound economic crises, to be reached again only in the 1990s. Looking at trade statistics, human travel and population movements, it is indeed remarkable how interdependent the world had become by 1900.
Volker Berghahn:
Globalization, Americanization and Europeanization
The 19th century undoubtedly saw a great expansion and intensification of commercial exchange as well as the conquest and occupation of large territories in Africa, Asia and Latin America by the European powers in the "scramble for colonies."
The invention of the telegraph and the laying of cables across the oceans connected continents at the speed of light and revolutionized communication. The building of very fast ocean liners reduced journey times across the Atlantic to less than a week. It was thus not just information that was constantly traveling around the globe electronically.
There was also the massive and growing exchange of goods along the great sea-lanes of the world, together with the movement of people. For several decades from the 1840s onwards, this movement involved the one-way journey to North America of millions of migrants from Europe across the Atlantic and from Asia across the Pacific. Others emigrated to Australia.
By the end of the 19th century, these streams of people began to dry up while business travel and tourism — especially between Europe and North America — increased dramatically. The Americans went because Europe was then still the acknowledged center of the world in economic, political and cultural terms.
The Europeans had set out long ago to "Europeanize" the world, often by means of commercial penetration, but also through brutal military force. But there was also little doubt that within the ensemble of the imperialist nations, Britain constituted the hegemonic power. For decades after the Napoleonic Wars, little could be done by the other powers that did not have at least the tacit approval of London.
However, by the late 19th century there were many signs that British hegemony was eroding and being challenged by its neighbors. In Europe, it was the ambition of Imperial Germany to overtake Britain not only as the leading commercial and industrial nation, but also in political and cultural terms.
William II, the German Kaiser, and his closest advisors were convinced that London would thwart their country's rise to world-power status unless it was able to counter the Royal Navy's dominance of the seas with the naval instrument large and efficient enough to defeat the British in an all-out battle in the North Sea.
Had William II succeeded in creating such a navy, it would have been followed by a major effort to "Germanize" the world. In the end, Germany proved too weak to challenge Britain militarily.
London successfully contained the German threat by engaging Berlin in an arms race that the Kaiser had lost by 1912/13. London also initiated countermoves, leading in 1904 to the formation of the Entente Cordiale with France — and, in 1907, to the inclusion of Russia in the Triple Entente.
The German refusal to accept its containment by Britain, France and Russia decisively contributed to the outbreak of World War I in August 1914. Five years later, not only had the German monarchy been defeated, but the de-Europeanization of the world had also begun. Even the once-almighty Britain emerged from the catastrophe as a second-rate power.
In the meantime, the United States had risen to the first rank — a development that could first be observed around the turn of the last century.
It was certainly no coincidence that the British journalist William T. Stead published an influential book in 1902 titled "The Americanization of the World or the Trend of the Twentieth Century." No less significantly, this study appeared two years after the Paris World Exhibition at which the American pavilion became the great attraction for European businessmen, with the latest technologies and machines on display.
After Paris, more and more Europeans traveled to the United States to visit Washington, New York or Chicago, but also to inspect the centers of steel-making and steel-cutting in Pennsylvania, of the machine-tool and electrical engineering industries in Ohio and of car-making in Michigan.
Next to technology, they were particularly interested in American-style work organization as recommended by Frederick Taylor and in Henry Ford's assembly lines in Detroit, the new automobile capital of the world.
From then on, North America was no longer regarded primarily as a continent of immigrant settlers, trappers, cowboys and "Red Indians." What was still missing was the translation of this metamorphosis into a projection of American military power abroad.
The focus was still on the promotion of trade across the Atlantic, but also with the colonial world and exchange within Europe. In the years before 1914, Germany and Britain were each other's best customers.
There were hence many businessmen and also some intellectuals and politicians who hoped that peaceful trade and free access to the markets of the world would relieve the tensions resulting from the great powers' naval and military rivalries in an age of rising nationalism and economic protectionism.
In the end, the opposite happened. A militaristic nationalism overwhelmed economic internationalism and cultural cosmopolitanism that had inspired the pre-1914 globalization process. World War I, in which Europe's colonial competition came back to haunt the region, so weakened its erstwhile hegemony that 1918 was tantamount to the end of Europe's position at the center of the world. Britain's pre-war position of preeminence was also gone.

(Alexandria, VA, Thursday, January 31, 2019) -The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has released its annual report on progress against cancer, Clinical Cancer Advances 2019.
In the report, ASCO names progress in treating rare cancers as the "Advance of the Year." Although rare cancers account for about 20% of all cancers diagnosed in the U.S. each year, treatment progress has lagged behind more common forms of cancer. In the past year, however, research and regulatory achievements in five rare cancers – forms of uterine, neuroendocrine and thyroid cancers, as well as sarcomas and cancer of the tissues that surround the joints – were particularly impactful, leading ASCO to designate this area of research as the Advance of the Year.
For the first time, ASCO has identified Research Priorities to Advance Progress Against Cancer. These specific areas of focus for future cancer research efforts represent vital unmet needs or knowledge gaps. They include cancer prevention strategies, increasing equitable participation in research, optimizing treatment, and improving long-term health for the growing number of cancer survivors around the world.
At a time when nearly four in 10 Americans (39%) believe cancer can be cured solely through alternative therapies, according to an ASCO survey, research shows that alternative medicine is not a substitute for conventional cancer treatment.
Finally, the report highlights key policy issues and developments that will impact the future of U.S. cancer research and the pace of progress. ASCO urges Congress to give hope to millions of Americans with cancer by continuing to build on its investment in cancer research.


Those responsible for the death of activist Kateryna Handziuk, an advisor to the Kherson mayor, should be held to account, British Ambassador to Ukraine Judith Gough has said.
"Terribly saddened to hear that Kateryna Handziuk has died. She battled her horrific injuries with courage & dignity. Important that those responsible for this dreadful attack are held to account," she wrote on her Twitter account.
A well-known activist, volunteer, member of the Kherson City Council, Handziuk, who had sulfuric acid thrown in her face last summer, died at hospital on November 4. According to preliminary reports, the reason was a blood clot. The woman was 33 years old.
The attack on Handziuk occurred on July 31. Unidentified individuals poured her with sulfuric acid. She suffered chemical burns and partially lost sight. Handziuk underwent over ten operations. She has been in Kyiv's burn center since August 1.

Courtesy: http://www.MondayNightMayhem.com
Former two-time WWE Tag Team Champions, Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin, were two of the special guests on this week's live edition (09/06/10) of the award-winning Monday Night Mayhem (presented by Good Health Natural Foods). You can feel The Mayhem live every Monday night (at 7PM ET/6PM CT), exclusively on The Monday Night Mayhem Radio Network (www.MondayNightMayhem.com, www.AudioWrestling.com, www.Hybrident.tv, www.iTunes.com, www.Facebook.com/MondayNightMayhem, www.Twitter.com/FeelTheMayhem, & www.MySpace.com/MondayNightMayhem).
Charlie & Shelton (in his first post-WWE comments) joined The Big Mosh & "The Chairman of the Board" Todd Vincent for their first joint appearance on "Your Home of Wrestling Radio" (to promote Ring of Honor's return to Internet Pay-Per-View, Glory By Honor IX, on September 11th at The Manhattan Center in New York City), which is now available in Windows Streaming Media or via Monday Night Mayhem's official Podcast on iTunes:

Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team/Monday Night Mayhem Interview (MNM Podcast on iTunes): http://www.mondaynightmayhemarchives.com/sept10/090610.mp3
Interview highlights courtesy of The Mayhem's official correspondent, Paterson from New Jersey:
The reasons why Charlie & Shelton decided to come to Ring of Honor to reform their successful tag team and how ROH is the right place for both of them to showcase their talents together: (Charlie) "Let me put it this way…no ass-kissing politics. How about that? That's a good way to start. I don't have to worry about kissing anyone's ass, walking on eggshells, I don't have to worry about the politics, or the backstabbing, or the cut-throat from the creative. That's one reason why." (Shelton) "In my case. I thought it would be fun. If I'm gonna tag, it's gonna be with Charlie, and that's in Ring of Honor. They've done awesome things for the tag team division, and my hat's off to the organization for that. What better place to showcase Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team than in a place with the best tag team division in the world right now quite frankly."
Their response to The Kings of Wrestling's exclusive interview on Monday Night Mayhem last week, saying that Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team may indeed show signs of "ring rust" after not teaming up together for some time, plus what advantage they believe Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli will have in their "Dream Match" at Glory By Honor IX: (Charlie) "They're saying we need to be well-rounded for them? I don't think you could two better well-rounded athletes that know more than just wrestling. I'm talking about every types of hold: every counter hold, every reversal, every re-reversal. You name it, we've done it. We're the ones that really put tag team wrestling back to where it should be when we first introduced as Team Angle. We put wrestling into the marquee name. They're both big, they're both creative, but they can't wrestle. When it comes down to it, there's no one more that I trust going into a dark alley or into a wrestling match than with Shelton, because I know him like the back of my hand. He's my best friend, he was the best man at my wedding, so I know definitely that there will be no 'ring rust.' We're both top-tier Division I athletes. You just don't get that all of a sudden. We were born with the "it-factor," and we've had the "it-factor," and that's that." (Shelton) "The misconceptions of youth…As far as The Kings of Wrestling go as the Ring of Honor Champions first & foremost: Anytime any wrestling organization is willing to put titles on you, that says a lot about you and that says a lot about the confidence that company has in you, your abilities, what you've accomplished, & the future that they see for you. Whether it be WWE, Ring of Honor, TNA, or any other organization on the planet, to me, if you're a champion in that organization, that speaks volumes, so for me, that commands respect, because you had to bust your ass to get those titles. No matter what, when I step in the ring every day (be it a tag match, be it a singles match, be it a Triple-Threat Match or Ladder Match), my goal every time I step into the ring is to be the best that I can be every time. Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas are never laxed. Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas are always on their 'A-game.' The advantage that The Kings of Wrestling has is home team advantage. We are stepping into their yard, and where I'm from, if someone steps in your yard and they pick a fight, you beat the hell out of them…and that's what I expect them to do. With that in mind, when we step into the ring with The Kings of Wrestling, there will be no 'feeling-out' process. We are going to bring it to them."
The message they would like to send out & the statement they wish to deliver to the wrestling world when reuniting this Saturday night at The Manhattan Center in New York City: (Charlie) "Well, first of all, I would tell Tyler Black don't go to the WWE. No one should experience that misery. Our focus is on our match. We feel that our tag team match is our main event. This is a chance for us. We're released & unleashed. I wish everyone else have a really great Pay-Per-View and all that, but all I'm worried about is Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin, us vs. The Kings of Wrestling. I could care less about what people think about us, or what they think about other people, or where they're going, because we are going to make a statement, and the statement's going to be made in our match." (Shelton) "While there's going to be a lot of eyes on that event, and a lot of big things are happening, but I'm concerned about all of that. I am concerned with going in there and being the best I have to be. As far as any messages to anyone, quite frankly, my only real message is the same message I've been doing for years: I consider myself one of the greatest at what I do, and I will continue to be the greatest. The people who should be paying attention already know."
The likelihood of Charlie & Shelton staying in Ring of Honor long-term after their match against The Kings of Wrestling at Glory By Honor IX: (Charlie) "That's a good question. Right now, that's something we have to discuss with Ring of Honor management. Would we love to stay? Yeah. Like Shelton said, we don't wanna prostitute this out with Shelton & I tagging all over the place and giving it a 'watered-down' effect. It's a special reunion for this Pay-Per-View. We're doing at Ring of Honor, which has built up their tag team division, which is unbelievable. We have both worked with Jim Cornette, Dave Lagana, & Kevin Kelly, and I think that they have the right management in place for us to look long-term, so maybe yeah, we'd like to continue with Ring of Honor, because I like what that have set-up & the infrastructure. Is it possible? Yes. Have we discussed it yet? We haven't yet, but it's not that we're not open to it. I could definitely see us being there for a while after this Pay-Per-View."

NEW DELHI -- The Indian Navy is set to open the doors soon for increased role of women on its rolls but has made it clear that there will be no combat positions yet.
The move comes on the heels of the government announcing law week its decision to induct women as fighter pilots in the Indian Air Force.
The navy will also challenge a recent order of the Delhi High Court which had reprimanded it over the issue of permanent commission for women in the force.
"Except where an aircraft is required to be stationed on the ship overnight, like aircraft carrier, reset of flying areas will be open to the women," Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today said after his closed-door address at the ongoing Naval Commanders' Conference here.
He said an announcement is likely to be made to this effect in the next few days.
The navy has mooted a proposal to the Defence Ministry for induction of women as pilots for its fleet of maritime reconnaissance aircraft.
Parrikar stressed that one should not confuse the decision of the navy to open its doors for women with the recent order of the Delhi High Court.
In a major relief for women naval officers, the Delhi High Court had on September 4 allowed a batch of petitions seeking permanent commission for them in the force, saying "sexist bias and service bias" would not be allowed to block progress of women.
The court, while granting their plea, said the "women are here to stay" and since they "work shoulder-to-shoulder" with their male counterparts, it would "frown upon any endeavour to restrain the progress of women".
Parrikar said that in 2008, the navy had opened its doors in Short Service Commission (SSC) for granting permanent commission to women along with men.
He said that permanent commission for SSC was not an option for men also prior to 2008.
"There is no gender bias. It was equal to both men and women. In 2008, the navy granted SSC to be changed to permanent commission to women in three streams -- education, law and naval constructions. The other areas have some logistics and infrastructure problems as those are executive branches.
"And therefore the HC order has 2-3 issues for which we are approaching the Supreme Court because we want to give almost equal status to women in all areas wherever possible, subject to training limitations and logistics and infrastructure capabilities. So we will be approaching the apex court because that judgement is based on the pre-assumption that there was a gender bias, which is not there," he said.


I like to be in control of how I look and how I feel and how I act.
I don't know how to function without music. When I'm not making it, I'm listening to it. It gives me courage and takes care of my mind.
Sometimes it's flattering when people copy you, but sometimes it gets to a breaking point.
Nothing really scares me, to be honest.

Битка код Соленикове Ватаге последња је велика битка Сељачког рата 1773—1775 (познатијег као Пугачовљев устанак) која се догодила 25. августа 1774. године у близини Чорног Јара. Током битке, трупе потпуковника И. И. Михелсона, нанеле су побуњеницима пораз што је одлучило и судбину Пугачевљевог устанка.

Увод
И поред великог пораза код Казања, Пугачовљева  војска, се успела обновити  и  нарасла је  на 10 хиљада људи. Међутим, код Чорног Јара је сустижу владине јединице под командом  потпуковника И. И. Михелсона.

Битка
У зору 25. августа (5. септембра) 1774. Михелсон је наредио ватру из свих расположивих топова  по редовима устаника. Схвативши да нема другог избора, будући да је Михелсон блокирао његовој војсци све путеве ка југу, Јемељан Пугачев је одлучио да прихвати битку. Након што је почело гранатирање његових положаја артиљеријом владиних трупа, Пугачов је наредио да са узврати ватру. Артиљерија, под командом козачког пуковника Фјодора Чумакова, је одмах деловала  из сва 24 расположива  оружја, и ватра је трајала најмање 30 минута. Међутим, Пугачовљеви топови  нису могли да нанесу значајну штету Михелсоновим одредима, јер их је, због сопственог превида, Чумаков  поставио превише напред  према положајима редовних трупа. Положај артиљерије је био такав да су, истовремено, били далеко одмакнути од главних снага побуњеничке војске а тако незаштићени, постали практично беспомоћни против непријатељске коњице и пешадије. Касније, Пугачев је овај превид назвао главним узроком пораза у бици.

Поред тога, владине трупе биле су заштићене високим тлом, док се напротив, побуњеничка војска, налазила у низини. Приметивши Чумаковљеву велику грешку, Михелсон је наредио својим коњаницима да освоје побуњенички артиљеријски положај, што су ови  лако извели, оставивши побуњенике без све артиљерије само 30-40 минута након почетка битке. Сазнавши за губитак артиљерије, Пугачов је наредио да је по сваку цену поврате од непријатеља. Свесни своје бројчане предности, побуњеници су храбро кренули у фронтални напад на положаје владиних трупа.

Међутим, након само неколико пуцњева, напад слабо организованих првих редова побуњеника је пропао и, у паници, је започето повлачење. Пугачов је, покушавајући да заустави бег своје војске са бојног поља, успео да окупи неколико одреда и лично их поведе у битку. Међутим, истовремено, Михелсонова коњаница, је лако  осујетила овај очајнички напад и напала је оба бока побуњеника.

Након тога, некад јединствена устаничка војска је разбијена на неколико засебних група, које су убрзо биле опкољене и уништене од стране владиних снага.

Схвативши да је пораз неизбежан, Пугачев је, са око 200 других побуњеника (углавном козака) из своје личне "гарде", успео да  у последњем тренутку напусте бојно поље и побегне на југоисток, према Волги. Михелсонова пешадија није морала ни да се укључује у борбу.

Последице
Као резултат битке, Пугачев је поново практично остао без војске. Око 2000 побуњеника је убијено у бици, још 6.000 је заробљено или је дезертирало. Међу погинулим побуњеницима био је и један од најближих Пугачовљевих сарадника, Андреј Овчиников. Губици Михелсонових  одреда у бици су износили 16 погинулих и 74 рањена. И самог Пугачева, који је побегао на Волгу, су убрзо 8. јула заробили његови суборци и предали га властима.

Jon Chu Picked To Direct 'G.I. Joe 2'
Posted on Friday, February 25th, 2011 by Germain Lussier
More late breaking news on a Friday night. Deadline is reporting that Jon Chu, whose director's cut of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never just opened, has been chosen to direct G.I. Joe 2, the sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. As previously reported, Chu was one of the finalists along with Gary Grey and Jaume Collet-Serra, but the fact that his concert documentary is currently raking in the dough for Paramount seems to have locked up the job for him. And while the deal isn't totally finished, he's their choice.
Yesterday, we ran some quotes that showed just how passionate Chu is about the film. Read those and more after the jump.
Deadline broke the news of Paramount's choice of Chu to fill the director's chair and say that next on their list, armed with a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, is trying to get the actors to return:
I've heard the studio is starting with Channing Tatum, and trying to work out a deal for him to reprise.
Angie ran a story yesterday with quotes from Chu, who was promoting Never Say Never, that showed just how passionate and enthusiastic he was about directing G.I. Joe 2 :
The one thing I felt was missing from the last Joe movie was the power of the punch. You want Joe to be tough. They are fun, but they are tough. I feel that you don't want to make Joe too kidsie.
[G.I.] Joe, to me, is iconic. It is as American as Coke and the Boy Scouts. To have that kind of history in a brand is so rare these days. And that is so powerful. So you can't treat Joe like its just another action movie. You can't treat Joe as just another petty commercial movie. Joe has history. Joe has always been a part of what America is, and now the world. What it means to be a leader and a hero. For me, it is about the fun stuff like Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes, and all the gadgets. All of that stuff. But it has heart. Its heart is what America, and what heroes and leaders around the world, strive to be. I think that is what the brand needs. It needs the respect to be treated in that way.
What do you think? Is Jon Chu, the director of Step Up 2 The Streets and Step Up 3D, really the man who is going to get you screaming "Yo Joe?"

Congressman: Expand Obamacare to Undocumented Immigrants
By David EldridgePosted at 3 p.m. Sept. 30
Rep Luis V. Gutiérrez, one of Congress' most outspoken advocates for immigrants, on Wednesday called for expanding the Affordable Care Act to cover all of the estimated 11 million undocumented migrants in the United States.
"The goal is to make integration and inclusion real for millions of families that are locked out under current law," the Illinois Democrat said in a floor speech introducing his proposed legislation.
"As it stands right now,
undocumented immigrants are not subject to the individual mandate and cannot buy into health insurance exchanges even if they use their own money. My legislation will change that. It says that we stand for inclusion."
Citing last week's papal address to Congress (the pope repeatedly urged U.S. lawmakers to follow "the Golden Rule"), Gutiérrez said: "Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you means moving forward with no restrictions on which brother and sister and neighbor we think of as 'eligible' or 'deserving.'"
The Gutiérrez legislation faces long odds in the House, where proposals to overhaul immigration have been stymied by Republicans who insist the federal government must first address holes in border security.

Consider why you're buying a camera, what is it going to be used for? Obviously, you're going to take pictures with it, I know that! But, are you just using it casually?

If you're looking for a professional camera, then you're going to be looking at the high-end products. Whereas with a casual camera, you're going to be browsing the mid to low range products on the market.
How much money are you willing to spend on a new camera? Cameras can be extremely cheap, or very expensive. There's a very large price range to play with here.

Once you've done this, you can start looking at cameras in your price range. It will cut down shopping time because you don't need to look at products out of your range.
It's always important you do a bit of market research before you buy anything. And it's no different when you're looking for a new camera. Spend some time researching different cameras on the market.

You'll also know ones that are bad and you should stay away from.
The most important part of a camera are its specs. If you don't understand the specs, then you could end up overpaying for a bad camera. Sometimes people will buy cameras based on the brand, when in fact, they have poor specs. What you should be looking for are things like shutter speed, auto focus, pixel size, etc. All these things are important, so you should learn about them.
