When will the 41st Democrats stop interfering in what is supposed to be a non-partisan race? By law, city council races for Mercer Island are "non-partisan". The D party does not respect that law. To me the real problem is not a lack of civility, or claimed lack of civility whenever there is push-back to the D party supported candidate. Rather, the problem is the D party turning Mercer Island city council races into political party races in order to maintain a council majority willing to subjugate island interests to the D party interests of Seattle, King County, Sound Transit, and D-party dominated state level interests. Remember: Judy Clibborn wanted to toll I-90. Bassett, Grausz, Bertlin tried to help her. It was the non-partisan NO Toll on I-90 effort on and off-island that defeated tolling, not the D-dominated city council majority promoting tolling everyone but us. The D-dominated city council also defeated Mercer Island SOV access to I-90's HOV lanes and promised mitigation. | 0 | en |
L’arrivo di Paul Pogba alla Juventus nell’estate del 2012 ha cambiato senza dubbio la storia bianconera, sia in campo che fuori. Sul rettangolo verde il francese è diventato – prima con Conte e poi con Allegri – uno dei migliori centrocampisti del mondo. Un calciatore box-to-box che dopo aver fatto la differenza in campo l’ha fatta anche fuori, più precisamente sul bilancio della Juve. Arrivato a Torino praticamente a zero Pogba è ripartito in direzione Manchester dopo quattro anni portando in dote 105 milioni di euro (più di 70 sono entrati nelle casse dei bianconeri). A sette anni dall’arrivo di Pogba, adesso la Juve è alla ricerca di nuovi colpi di mercato che ricalchino quell’operazione.In queste settimane la dirigenza bianconera sta portando avanti il mercato in ottica prima squadra e giovanili (compresa la squadra B) e ci sono tre affari che riguardano talenti sotto contratto con altre big europee che nei prossimi giorni potrebbero essere chiusi. Il primo nome è quello di Yunus Musah, centrocampista classe 2002 dell’Arsenal che alcuni paragonano già al nuovo Vieira ( LEGGI QUI ). Nazionale inglese Under 16,(i due non sono parenti), è un centrocampista centrale che però gioca nel Barcellona.I bianconeri lo seguono da oltre due anni. Il terzo colpo ‘alla Pogba’ non sarà un centrocampista ma un attaccante, anche lui proveniente dal Barcellona. Stiamo parlando diBaby fenomeno di 16 anni che ha segnato ben 300 gol con le giovanili dei Blaugrana (LEGGI QUI) . Il costo? Intorno ai tre milioni di euro.La strategia della Juve, quindi, non cambia. Sia il mercato della prima squadra che quello delle giovanili dipende dalle opportunità in giro per l’Europa. Sette anni fa i bianconeri chiusero un colpo di mercato che oggi è riconosciuto come l’affare del secolo. Adesso i bianconeri ci riprovano con tre baby fenomeni che tra qualche anno potrebbero fare la storia della Juve. I tifosi sperano che la scrivano in campo e non a bilancio, al contrario di quanto accaduto con Pogba.@lorebetto | 0 | it |

DeLAND, Fla. -
Although he's not a hired security officer, George Zimmerman has been "patrolling" outside a Volusia County gun shop after it was recently robbed, according to the store owner.
Quick Clicks
Johnson said that Zimmerman, on his own accord, has been spotted outside the store since the robbery earlier this month. The thieves stole rifles worth up to $5,000 and two mini-bikes, according to Johnson.
"I didn't OK it. I didn't know about it. I didn't authorize it. I didn't pay for it," Johnson said. "He had just watched Facebook and the news and just took it upon himself to come up here and sit."
Johnson added that although he knows Zimmerman, he has not hired him as a security officer.
"I sent him a text message telling him not to come back to the store anymore," Johnson said.
DeLand police officers stopped to investigate why Zimmerman was parked in back of the store just after midnight on Sunday morning.
Video from the dash camera of the police cruiser shows a closer view of their exchange.
"Zimmerman informed me that he was sitting behind the business with the permission of the owner," the officer wrote in his incident report.
Johnson, who is running for mayor, said he believes politics are somehow behind the attention being given to Zimmerman's activities at his store.
"My campaign is pretty much over. But my intention was always just to try and make this a better and safer place to live," Johnson said. "This whole Zimmerman situation has nothing to do with my campaign."
Johnson said the police have also been out to the store at least three times for death threats since the Zimmerman report.
Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch leader, was acquitted of murder last summer in the death of Trayvon Martin.

The Country Girls
The Country Girls is a trilogy by Irish author Edna O'Brien. It consists of three novels: The Country Girls (1960), The Lonely Girl (1962), and Girls in Their Married Bliss (1964). The trilogy was re-released in 1986 in a single volume with a revised ending to Girls in Their Married Bliss and addition of an epilogue. The Country Girls, both the trilogy and the novel, is often credited with breaking silence on sexual matters and social issues during a repressive period in Ireland following World War II and was adapted into a 1983 film. All three novels were banned by the Irish censorship board and faced significant public disdain in Ireland. O'Brien won the Kingsley Amis Award in 1962 for The Country Girls.
The Country Girls (1960)
Plot synopsis
Caithleen "Cait/Kate" Brady and Bridget "Baba" Brennan are two young Irish country girls who have spent their childhood together. As they leave the safety of their convent school in search of life and love in the big city, they struggle to maintain their somewhat tumultuous relationship. Cait, dreamy and romantic, yearns for true love, while Baba just wants to experience the life of a single girl. Although they set out to conquer the world together, as their lives take unexpected turns, Cait and Baba must ultimately learn to find their own way.
The Lonely Girl (1962)
Girl with Green Eyes is a 1964 British drama film, which Edna O'Brien adapted from her own novel, The Lonely Girl. It tells the story of a young, naive country girl's romance with a sophisticated older man.
Eventually, Kate becomes unhappy as Eugene does not share her Catholic religious beliefs, his friends do not regard Kate seriously, and he continues to correspond with his estranged wife, for whom he still has some feelings. Kate finally leaves Eugene and returns to Baba, who is packing to move to London and invites Kate to come along. Kate hopes that Eugene will come after her and ask her to return to him, but instead he sends word through Baba that their breakup is probably for the best. Sadly, Kate departs for London with Baba, where she gets over her heartbreak and meets "different people, different men".
Girls in Their Married Bliss (1964)
The third and final book of the trilogy, this novel begins in London several years after the end of The Lonely Girl. It marks a significant shift in style from the first two books, as it is now narrated in part by Baba in the first person, while Kate's sections are narrated in the third person. See more details on the page for Girls in Their Married Bliss.
Reception
The Irish censorship board banned The Country Girls upon its publication, adding it to a list of over 1600 books banned in Ireland under the Censorship of Publications Act, 1929.
The public response in Ireland was largely negative as a result of the sexual imagery and national critique throughout the trilogy. Religious and political figures took particular offense. Archbishop McQuaid and then Minister for Justice, Charlie Haughey decided that "the book was filth and should not be allowed inside any decent home." The trilogy was also subject to multiple public book burnings, including one in O'Brien's hometown of Tuamgraney.
The Irish response to the trilogy, and the trilogy's international success despite this reaction, are frequently cited as key moments in the history of female writers in Ireland. According to Irish novelist Anne Enright, "O'Brien is the great, the only, survivor of forces that silenced and destroyed who knows how many other Irish women writers, and her contradictions – her evasions even – must be regarded as salutary."
On 5 November 2019 BBC News included The Country Girls on its list of the 100 most influential novels.
Analysis
The novel is an exploration of the trials and tribulations of two friends set against the backdrop of 1950s Ireland, showing the influence of James Joyce in the humane attention to detail and thought and the rather lyrical prose of the narrator Cait.
The ending (spoiler will not be cited) can be considered as a call by O'Brien for a reconsideration of Catholic values in Irish society. O'Brien helped to launch a new generation of Irish writers more focused on the demands and values of society, such as Enright, Nuala O'Faolain and Colm Tóibín.

Some of richest in U.S. live in metro Detroit? You bet
Michele Siuda Jacques | Detroit Free Press
Metropolitan Detroit is one of 12 cities cited as home to the country's super rich.
Are you surprised?
The wealth of these high net-worth individuals (HNWIs) — those with at least $1 million in investible assets — rose more than $1 trillion between 2013 and 2014, the report in Fortune magazine finds.
New York ranks No. 1 with 963,100 wealthy residents with a total wealth of $3.5 trillion. The percent of growth in wealth from 2013 to 2014 was 8.8%.
Detroit is 11th, with 116,200 wealthy residents and a total wealth of $468 billion. The percent of growth in wealth from 2013 to 2014 was 8.5%.

I can imagine all that you stated and see it while driving into any US city. We have homeless citizens and illegals and I have given money and food and other to both. You mentioned rights well no they don't have the same rights as citizens but with pro illegal alien states and/or cities they are able to operate as though they DO have the rights of citizens. I live in a border town in an illegal sanctuary state that has been overrun by illegals from Mexico and now other countries, as well. This state has lost its focus so no more much that the needs of citizens a re no longer even in the equation. It is this that is not fair, sir. Now, imagine being one of my Black friends and having your neighborhoods that were once majority black and jobs that were majority black filled and resources that once were able to you now inaccessible and absorbed by illegals and those they've given birth to ON the backs of blacks' ancestirs' 14th amendment.

Two other points... The King (Zuma) has no clothes, he is exposed and he knows it, he cannot cover up.
Secondly, the ANC may be viewed primarily as a rural party.... those living outside the cities and those who have moved to the city but still largely ascribing themselves as from the village! Their children will say they come from Johannesburg, Cape Town or wherever...
.. a caveat, KZN remains a Zulu fortress, remains fundamentally rural and where corruption seems more entrenched than elsewhere... and of course too where Zuma appoints most of his Ministers and heads of organs of state. | 0 | en |

Peter: I present "if no had guns, we'd all be far safer"....as one extreme of the discussion re: gun control. The inverse would be "if we all carried guns, we'd all be safer." There are folks who believe one or the other of those extreme positions. I'm not sure that "no guns" wouold necessarily lead to anarchy transitioning to rule by physical strength. All of history has seen the advance of weapons in the quest for dominance by force. I would suggest the ongoing development of firearmsk and advanc ed weapons has been a integral part of that quest. There exist communities with virtually no firearms and they do not, ipso facto, disintegrate into chaos. Gary Crum | 0 | en |

Can’t say I’ve ever bought into the idea of penis envy, but man, being a man looks like a goddamn breeze sometimes, and if that’s what having a nob gets you, then heck maybe I am a bit jealous.
Take, for example, looking after your own kids. When a woman does it, no one cares. In fact, she’s just doing what she’s meant to. In actual fact, it’s nice of everyone to let her do it and to be honest isn’t she slightly taking the piss by having time off work, and she’d better not embarrass everyone by showing a bit of nipple. But let a dad so much as pick up a bottle, and watch the world swoon while angel choirs descend to sing oh isn’t he great and isn’t mum lucky that he babysits. Pass the wetwipes, I seem to have been sick.
Low expectations. That’s what I’m talking about. That’s the great bonus of masculinity. But even I was taken aback to see a man getting praised for, um, fancying his wife. Robbie Tripp describes himself as a “wordsmith, public speaker, and creative activist” and the author of “an abstract manifesto for disruptive creativity”, which to be honest sound like the kind of things you’d make up to get worried relatives off your back. (“No grandma, I’m not unemployed, I’m a creative activist.”) He can now add to that CV the impressive achievement of being keen on the woman he married.
Yeah, I said impressive. It must be, because otherwise why would his saccharine ode to his wife Sarah Tripp’s “beautiful stretch marks on her hips and cute little dimples on her booty” have pulled in likes on Facebook and Instagram by the thousand, and ended up reported by Buzzfeed, the Mail, E! Online and every other content-thirsty outlet on the internet.
Not that Tripp always felt able to be as open about his love. “As a teenager,” he writes, “I was often teased by my friends for my attraction to girls on the thicker side, ones who were shorter and curvier, girls that the average (basic) bro might refer to as chubby or even fat.” I can only assume that this is the kind of silver-tongued chat that Sarah Tripp finds irresistible, but as a quick FYI to any dudes looking to play the charmer, DON’T DO THIS. If your compliment game starts with “some men would call you fatty but I’m much smarter than them”, then what you’ve actually got is an insult game and can I suggest you kindly shove it.
But luckily, young Tripp found feminism and learned that he could objectify any woman he wanted! Um, feminism? Yes: “Then, as I became a man and started to educate myself on issues such as feminism and how the media marginalizes women by portraying a very narrow and very specific standard of beauty (thin, tall, lean) I realized how many men have bought into that lie.” Andrea Dworkin, if only you had lived to see this day and know you had liberated a man to share his love of “thick thighs, big booty, cute little side roll.”
Look. I’m happy Robbie Tripp is happy. I’m happy he’s making Sarah Tripp happy. But can we please, please get over this idea that a man is a hero for talking about what body type gives him a boner? And can we not treat him like some kind of body positivity pioneer for liking his objectively hot wife? (Contrary to his claim that “Her shape and size won't be the one featured on the cover of Cosmopolitan”, Cosmo has featured plus-size models.) Dude: finding your partner beautiful is kind of what you’re supposed to do. | 1 | en |
Very True. Very True. with Mazie's focus on women immigrants which is a burden on the welfare system, with Tulsi focusing on, well traveling off to the Middle East to say rub shoulders with the Arab Kings and rulers thinking its going to help her in the future and Colleen focusing her stabilization of her Japanese backers since she was not given Dan Inouye's seat by Dan's choice and Abercrombie gave it to Brian S. Brian himself doing ok, he like help me get my social security should I need help.

In commercials, women can't get dressed from the very moment they step out of the shower.
I don't want to brag, but I can keep a towel in place by simply reading a breast-feeding manual. I understand that female bodies don't have that option, but is it truly so hard to tie a knot? The makers of the Wearable Towel thought the secret to wearing an ordinary towel might be resting the corners on your tits and hoping Isaac Newton was a liar. And if that didn't work, their plan B was argh, just give up.
This is a perfect example of how these ads aren't trying to relate to actual, living people. Most of these products solve problems that cannot and do not exist, and nothing illustrates this better than showing someone fail at failure. This is an actress trying to market togas 15 centuries after the fall of Rome, and even she's not stupid enough to know how to screw up a towel. If murderous sheep burst into her bathroom to get revenge against the fabric industry, it would be a more believable scenario than her growing up in a world without knots. Advertisers might as well try to convince women they aren't capable of wearing a seat belt.

Oh, goddamn it.
So they can't wear bras, clothes, towels, or safety belts. At this rate, the only thing women will be able to figure out are blankets. No, wait. Shit.
I'm not sure how the Snuggie happened. Was there some kind of need for a filthy robe you store on the floor? Was the Snuggie a scheme by the barbarian community to make wizards look less fuckable? All I know is that when you're selling products to a demographic that has trouble with blankets, maybe it's genetically irresponsible to sell anything other than poison labelled as candy.
When they were developing the easier blanket, I can't imagine who they talked to for market research. If you asked a focus group what's hard about a blanket, they'd tell you, "We're happy our learning disabilities are finally coming in handy, but we don't get how a person can fuck this up." Yet somehow, the Snuggie marketers decided that a fussy lady cursing the impossibility of blankets was the kind of situation late night TV viewers could relate to. The success of the product suggests that they were right, but their follow-up product, Snuggie for Dogs, suggests that they might just hear whispering voices that demand the Harbinger's message be delivered in sleeves. | 1 | en |
You mean to say that Avalanche hockey ISN'T college hockey? It's been really, really hard to tell. My granddaughter has more sack than this team. And, I'm going to step in and defend Mike Chambers. I commend Chambers simply for holding his fire and not throwing up all over the place with regard to the Kroenkes. He knows, as does the rest of the hockey world what the issue is. It begins at the top and works its way down to the Avalanche sycophants like yourself Bob. I mean, why wouldn't he focus on something besides the "Your" Colorado Avalanche? I'm surprised the poor guy doesn't have a fentanyl habit. The scoreboard is the story. Other than a couple of hiccups, the Kroenkes took what what was one of the best teams I've ever seen and turned it into a clown show. You keep defending and I'll keep ripping. Like I've said to others, you have fun with the next ten year rebuild. You're gonna need some alcohol and weed. Cheers. | 0 | en |

"I didn't take his childhood away!" "Oh, really?" "Because Josh was spending so much time on his laptop, researching leukemia mortality rates, I had to give'im a basketball just to distract him!" " Wait, what?" "!" " Turk, we're a team." "Who cares about losing your childhood, I damn sure didn't!" "Yeah, because your parents were volountarily abusive of alcoholics." "Not that there's anything wrong with that, it was probably... very exciting." "Don't take your lead from this train wreck, if you're lucky enough to still have a kid inside, you-you gotta hold on to that!" "And if you don't have one, I bet if you think about it, you want your kids to spend as much time as possible just being what?" "Yeah the only thing I hate more than simultaneous speaking" "Is when people try to get me to finish their sentences." "Just being kids!" "That's right!" "By the way, baby, you're getting my basketball back from that cancer kid." "Oh, sorry." "No matter how old you are, you should never foget the importance of childhood."

It's not because they don't "give a crap about White countries" it's because detailed coverage would expose the difference between the intelligence and civility that a white country demonstrates in such an event and the primitive, lawless, and total hindbrain incompetence that Negroes such as the Haitian incompetents demonstrate after an even lesser destructive event.
'Political Correctness' demands that no comparison or reminder be made in the minds of the media masses between White civilized behavior and Negro savagery and incompetence after such natural disasters which are ultimately blamed on whites anyway!
Lets make and promote our own media Send this to as many people as you can.
Very tragic indeed, although look at how well a civilized mostly hite country acts during a time like this, with efficiency and skill. Yes the media certainly wouldn't want you Americans finding out that White nations don't rape, loot, kill or make the situation worse in times like this.
In fact, Christchurch police even arrested one man and warned others after they tried to help people trapped in fallen buildings. Our nations radio stations are pooling together and people are phoning in about anything they can do to help. Everyone is helping one another, you won't find anyone raping, shooting or beating one another.
You may find a few Maoris looting here and there, but even they are far more civilized than any Negro can ever be.
I just hope the Alpine Fault never goes, as that would destroy our whole country.
I guess this means the U.S. will provide NZ with countless millions of dollars in aid and grant refuge and assistance to any Kiwis who want to move to America and become citizens. Wait....Guess not, unlike the Haitians, most New Zealanders are White. Sorry, NZ, you're on your own. The U.S. hates you. We only help non-Whites, particularly Blacks. Screw you, Whitey.
My sincerest condolences to the people of New Zealand. I wish we (America) could offer any assistance. But, our anti-White government will not allow it.
Agreed, the main difference is that when disasters hit civilized countries the aid is sometimes turned down as there is enough local infrastructure in place to sort things out without outside assistance. The American government has offered specialist assistance, just heard that a decision on whether to accept it has yet to be made nor on what form it should take. | 1 | en |
I like this idea. It is similar to "The Fair Tax" proposed decades ago, but never getting any real traction. Of course there will be some black market dealings, there will be occasional sales, etc. that escape the tax, but overall, this looks very much worth pursuing.
However, Alaska still must re-do SB21, end the mega-projects, prosecute obvious, grievous wrong doings by Legislators & others in positions of public trust. We have a tornado-like list of things that need to be put right in our state, but these crying needs just go on ... ignored by most. | 0 | en |
I guess my concern was whether or not there is actually a legitimate method by which a governor could do something like that? Oh, wait, I keep forgetting. Our local government doesn't concern itself with that. Besides the fact that it might be political suicide, is there provision for such a thing to be done under Hawaii law? You are right it is the Political (save my okole at the next election) will that matters. And even in their last term they will have an eye toward more influential positions.

So unless He provides everyone with an ideal life, God can’t exist? If you read Genesis, actually He did exactly that, but our ancestors foolishly rejected that life. When you think about it, each one of us would have made the same error, sadly, so don’t blame your ancestors. Yet because He is a loving God, full of patience and grace, He provided us another option rather than simply accepting our ancestors’ rejection. Earth became a proving ground to see who will choose God’s ways and who will not. Without difficulties, how could that work? This is God’s Plan B, and all that is required is for us to accept His Son who sacrificed himself for us. Each of us gets to select our own destiny. Our life here is short compared to what awaits, so choose wisely. You are leaning heavily towards atheism today, so I don’t think you qualify for agnostic of the month. Pick one side of the fence, as sitting astride it is painful, the one position guaranteed to be wrong. You know which side I recommend. | 0 | en |
ESPN legal analyst Lester Munson reacts to former NFL star Darren Sharper being sentenced to 18 years in prison and what to expect since he still faces charges in other states for similar crimes. (1:30)
NEW ORLEANS -- Former NFL star Darren Sharper has been sentenced to 18 years in prison in a case in which he was accused of drugging and raping as many as 16 women in four states.
U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo sentenced Sharper on Thursday, telling him she couldn't understand how he did what he did, as he was college educated and obviously had grown up "in one of the most loving households."
"We can never ignore the damage you inflicted on those women and society at large," she said.
Sharper, jailed since February 2014, had pleaded guilty in federal court in New Orleans to drugging three women so he could rape them. He also has pleaded guilty or no contest in state courts in Louisiana, Arizona, California and Nevada to charges arising from allegations of drugging and raping women.
"I would like to apologize a thousand times," Sharper said. He looked at the floor as he said, "I'm still trying to figure out why I made some of these choices. ... I lived my life right for 38 years, then I took this path."
His voice thickened and broke as he said his parents hadn't raised him to take such actions.
Darren Sharper was given an 18-year prison sentence -- 15 months short of the maximum -- and was also fined $20,000 for drugging and raping women in multiple states. AP Photo/Los Angeles Times/Bob Chamberlin
Defense attorney Billy Gibbens asked for leniency because Sharper's testimony helped get "late" guilty pleas from two co-defendants who will be sentenced in October.
Sharper will be sentenced on Aug. 25 in Louisiana state court, Gibbens said outside court. He said he believes Sharper will be sentenced next month in Las Vegas and couldn't recall the Los Angeles sentencing date.
An Arizona judge sentenced him to nine years and what both Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael McMahon and Gibbens said amounted to lifetime probation.
McMahon told the judge in court, "I don't think Mr. Sharper has really wrapped his head around the fact that he is a serial rapist."
A woman who woke up next to Sharper after being drugged also spoke before Milazzo handed down the sentence. The woman's voice was shaky and she frequently brought a handkerchief to her eyes. Her name was not given in court, and The Associated Press does not identify victims of sexual abuse by name.
She told Sharper that because of arrogance and "clear stupidity," he kept drugging and raping women even after he knew she was talking to state and federal investigators.
"Within days ... you gave me ... and the entire judicial system in Louisiana the big middle finger because you thought we weren't capable of stopping you," she said. "You continued to rape other women in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas."
She said she understands that people make mistakes. "But it wasn't a mistake. A mistake happens once and you never make it again." Rather, she said, it was "a way of life for you and your friends."
Prosecutors suggested a 9-year prison term for Sharper under a multi-jurisdictional plea deal, but Milazzo rejected it in June as too lenient. The sentence she imposed, 18 years and four months imprisonment, was 15 months short of the maximum. Sharper also was fined $20,000.
Sharper is getting the same sentence on each of three counts of distributing drugs with rape as the aim, but they will run concurrently with each other and with state sentences, the judge said. She said he will be on three years' supervised release after he gets out of prison, including "sex treatment conditions" and registration as a sex offender.
Sharper's family left the courtroom without speaking to reporters. Gibbens said later that the federal sentence won't affect plea agreements in the four state courts.
Sharper or his friend Brandon Licciardi, a former sheriff's deputy in neighboring St. Bernard Parish, put anti-anxiety drugs or sedatives into women's drinks so they could rape them, according to a 15-page statement signed as part of Sharper's plea agreement.
Milazzo has scheduled sentencing Oct. 13 for Licciardi and a second New Orleans codefendant, Erik Nunez.
Outside the courtroom, McMahon quietly asked the woman, "Are you ready to do this in October?" She nodded.
Charges around the country involve nine victims, but Milazzo has said in court that there could be as many as 16.
She said Thursday that she will, as Gibbens requested, recommend a prison either in Petersburg, Virginia, or Butner, North Carolina, so he can be near his family in Richmond, Virginia
Like Sharper, Licciardi and Nunez admitted distributing drugs with the intent to commit rape. Their federal plea agreements say Licciardi has accepted a 17-year sentence, with 10 years for Nunez.
Sharper was named All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times during a career that included stints with the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Packers as a rookie and one with New Orleans Saints when they won in 2010.
He ended a 14-year career in 2011. He was working as an NFL network analyst when women began telling police in several cities similar stories of blacking out while drinking with him and waking up groggy to find they had been sexually abused. | 1 | en |

To get people to move when you really don't have any authority to make them move. You do however have authority to detain them for investigative purposes. But what was being investigated?
I detest retaliatory and antagonistic actions by police who need to assert their authority at all costs to the constitution and individual rights.
Shame on the RCMP for these weak tactics. It's no wonder public support of our national police force is at historically low levels. | 0 | en |

The American College of Pediatricians is not "the largest group of US pediatricians" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_College_of_Pediatricians ) they are a small group of social conservatives who have named themselves to create confusion with the American Academy of Pediatrics, which IS a medical society, publishes peer-reviewed research and which supports the protocols I've mentioned above. As does the American Medical Association and virtually all of modern Western medicine. | 0 | en |
I'm not sure that "duopoly" is particularly accurate given that most people in this country have have 4 or 5 wireless competitors serving their home area.
Still removing the antiquated protectionist rules that "protect" our incumbent telecommunication companies from too much competition is certainly the one and only thing that will truly help here. The Conservatives made some tiny baby-steps forward here, though they were so small as to be rather disappointing even if they were in the right direction.
As for this Liberal plan, it will be pretty much completely ineffectual. If it lowers bills for anyone it will be by trivial amounts for a very tiny proportion of the population. | 0 | en |
I wonder how many attendees there would be if it was forbidden to discuss anything related to government business or policy? Want to donate and eat rubber chicken? Sure. But- better be talking about the weather...and I don't mean who's going to make it rain. Chances are, there wouldn't be much in the way of attendance. | 0 | en |

The tsunami of cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008 was more than a simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not normally afford to indulge.

The tsunami of cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008 was more than a simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not normally afford to indulge. Icelanders wanted to stop fishing and become investment bankers. The Greeks wanted to turn their country into a pinata stuffed with cash and allow as many citizens as possible to take a whack at it. The Germans wanted to be even more German; the Irish wanted to stop being Irish. Michael Lewis's investigation of bubbles beyond our shores is so brilliantly, sadly hilarious that it leads the American reader to a comfortable complacency: oh, those foolish foreigners. But when he turns a merciless eye on California and Washington, DC, we see that the narrative is a trap baited with humor, and we understand the reckoning that awaits the greatest and greediest of debtor nations.

Just finished reading Michael Lewis’s Boomerang, a book about the aftermath of the economic crysis based on the author’s trips to Iceland, Greek, Ireland, Germany and… California. Just like many of Michael’s books before this one, it’s a very interesti...

The interesting thing, said the German financier...is the glass room at the top (of the Commerzbank HQ building), from which one looks down over Frankfurt.It is a men's toilet. Commerzbank executives had taken him there to show him how, in full view of the world below, he could shit on Deutsche Bank.

Indeed, one view of the European debt crisis--the Greek street view--is that it is an elaborate attempt by the German government on behalf its banks to get their money back without calling attention to what they are up to.

Indeed, one view of the European debt crisis--the Greek street view--is that it is an elaborate attempt by the German government on behalf its banks to get their money back without calling attention to what they are up to. The German government gives money to the European Union rescue fund so that it can give money to the Irish government so that the Irish government can give money to Irish banks, so the Irish banks can repay their loans to the German banks. "They are playing billiards, " says Enderlein. "The easier way to do it would be to give German money to the German banks and let the Irish banks fail." Why they don't simply do this is a question worth trying to answer.

Thanks for this. Very helpful and informative.
“The era of strategic patience is over."
Which is why, I guess, the ships are churning up the seas towards Korea.
But then...
"All options are on the table." Mixed messages. But then, the VP isn't the only one doing that. Beijing is mixing it up, too: let's get together please and use diplomacy to talk this down, okay guys? That was a month ago (NBC News), but But China hasn't stepped up and offered to host or arrange talks. South Korea says OK to THAAD and THEN China "talks"--it shouts "provocation!"
This article suggests four options. Forget one immediately: diplomacy appears dead. We can hope, but... Forget, almost immediately: sanctions. Not too effective, it would seem, although no harm in keeping them in place. That leaves two. Covert action and military.
However, there is a fifth option: dither, dither. Which works well for North Korea. Needs a little more time to "de-bug" systems and then...go to go! | 0 | en |

Great article (and from the WP, believe it or not!). There should be more news coverage of this type of corporate behavior, because these practices are WIDESPREAD--among everyone from Elon Musk to Harold Hamm to Joe Nachio to Bernie Madoff. The real problem is about where con-men draw their own line between positive and "phony" business news, and how accounting is handled for transactions the insiders are making from behind the curtain. Too bad it's only little guys that are getting press. | 0 | en |

WINDBORNE respectfully, whether it be the ICE (internal combustion engine) producing an emission that is affecting the environment in air quality, land, and health damage, or rare earth oxides to produce the alternative energy sources that require ceramic magnets and batteries that damage the land, water, and leave behind a very toxic radioactive slurry and chemicals, ones where the injurious nature to people living around these sites where mined and produced have shown increases in illnesses, both have a very major impact on the environment.
Thus why those industries requiring and placing this massive demand on these rare earth oxides are sourcing it out from China and Asia, if they try it here, there will be some serious issues raised from the strip mining that occurs, the rains hitting those open mining pits, the end by-products such as radioactive slurries, contaminated acids and chemicals left from processing these rare earth oxides the West needs. I call it the NIMBY effect. | 0 | en |
Women in the 1900s were working more than the 9-to-5 mommas of today. They had responsibilities on farms tending to crops and animals, they had manual labour with dishwashing and laundry, they had to prepare all the meals and clothes for their families, and of course, raise an average of over 7 kids per woman. Did they not "work"? How did they manage? Is today's problem really that bad? Or are we just not learning from how our ancestors managed? One thing that the farm collective had that our individualistic society eschews is help. Whether from the extended family, or neighbors, or even by giving chores to the eldest children, they did not do it alone. So why do all the solutions for working mothers today involve going at it alone? It's a recipe for insanity. | 0 | en |

I have forgotten to say that the Albanian word for the female vampires is Dhampiresha/Dhampireshe ... (e.g., Luan (m) Luanesha/e (f) = lion (m) lioness (f), or Mbret (m) Mbretresha/e (f) = king (m) queen (f), or Prins (m) Prinsesha/e (f) = leader (m) leader (f) ... prin (alb) = lead (eng) = führen (ger)) | 0 | en |

The volumes of literature written on the subject of Western alienation speak for themselves, if that doesn't suffice, maybe the Wikipedia article Western alienation may be a good place to start for you.
It is quite easy to see that Quebec and Ontario receive preferential treatment, for reasons I have already stated.
This isn't complex, just simple mathematics combined with a first-past-the-post electoral system. Of course there are other factors, but these are two of the main ones... | 0 | en |
