    Electric Meter in Monmouth County

    Remodeling your home and need a new meter base installed? Has the city or utility company required that you upgrade the meter base on your older home? No problem! Superpower Electric can have your electrical meter fixed up in no time.

    We offer full-service residential electrical repair and replacement services in Monmouth County and the surrounding Central New Jersey communities, including electric meter installation and upgrades. Our team of Excellent Electricians are backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, and are fully licensed and insured.

    What is a Meter Base?

    The Meter Base is the unit that holds the utility company’s meter. It is usually outside, placed between the utility company’s wires and your home’s electrical system.

    The actual meter calculates the amount of electricity that passes through so that the utility company can tell how much to charge you. Meter Bases don’t have to be replaced very often, but do on occasion.

    The following are reasons why a meter base may need to be replaced:

    • 1. Outdated – Your Meter Base may be old and outdated, possibly not up to city electrical code.
    • 2. Not up to city code – It may not pass under current National Electric Code (NEC) standards, which means it most likely isn’t up to city code. In the event a home is sold, the new owner may request for it to be replaced.
    • 3. City requirement – If a permit is pulled with a city for other electrical work being performed at the home, the city may require that the Meter Base be brought up to current code as well.
    • 4. Remodeling – Changing the size of the electrical service in the home can also require a new meter base be installed.
    • 5. Panel upgrade – When upgrading the electrical panel in the home, it may be necessary to replace the meter base as well.

    As with all electrical components, safety is the number one concern. If you’re worried about the safety of your meter base, or have any questions, feel free to contact us at any time to speak with a live representative.

    Count on Superpower

    Excellent Electrical Professional – Superpower Electric bears the Excellent Electrician symbol. That means we have the opportunity to offer a true 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on both workmanship and materials and our technicians are background checked and drug tested for your peace of mind.

We don't have an estimated release date at this point.  While we have been working on v16 for a while, we have not yet set the final change/feature set for the release so we don't know how much time it's going to take to complete the development and get it into beta.

eWeLink to support p2p camera

Some users request this function:

I would need a solution in the app to show an image from a p2p camera. so I would like to see via camera if the thing which is controlled by the sonoff really has toggled on/off.

What do you think?

I fully agree because, for example, I will irrigate the garden or some equipment and I have a camera system at home, I would like to see if the action has been taken. Ewelink could support some camera systems such as Hikvison, dahua, etc ...

Please Note: The Group Addon is a 3rd party solution and was not developed by the MemberMouse product team. As such the MemberMouse customer success team cannot offer assistance or guidance in using the Group Addon. However, issues and questions can be posted at the Github link found below and will be responded to there. The Group Addon is opensource so feel free to contribute any enhancements you'd like.

With the Group Addon you can define different types of groups allowing customers to create their own group with a predefined number of seats and use a signup link so members can join their group. This makes it so that a single customer can pay for multiple seats and then members can join their group for free or for a price based on how you configure the group type. In order to use the groups extension plugin MemberMouse must be installed and activated.

You can download the plugin here:

Note: the plugin directory under /wp-content/plugins must be named MemberMouseGroupAddon in order for the plugin to function properly. The current download from GitHub installs it in a directory named membermouse-groups-addon-master. You will need to rename that directory after uploading the plugin and prior to activation. This can be done via cPanel or FTP.

Here's a list of articles that will help you learn to use the Group Addon:

(Aeon Labs) Notifications From Your Door/Window Sensor

Last Updated: Feb 27, 2014 06:37PM PST
You can set up your smart system to notify you of any event that occurs with your door/window sensor.  If you haven't already entered your notification information, such as your email address or text number, you need to do that now.

If you have a Vera3, click here to set your notification preferences.
If you have a VeraLite, click here to set your notification preferences.

When your notification preferences have been set, find the door/window sensor on your Dashboard and hover your mouse over the top right of the device's box so that the "wrench" icon appears to make changes, as shown:

Click the wrench icon, and when the window appears, choose the "Notifications" menu as shown below.  This is where you'll set up your notifications.

First, give your notification a name, so your notification will be easy to identify when you get it.  In this example, we'll call the notification "Back door opened."

Now let's decide when you'll be getting a notification from the door/window sensor.  Above the notification name field, you'll see a drop-down menu labeled "Add notification for:"  Click it and you'll see your options, as shown below:

In this first option, you can get a notification when the door/window sensor is tripped in any way, such as being armed or bypassed.

In the second option, you'll get a notification if an armed door/window sensor has been tripped.

In the third option, you can get a notification if the battery level on your door/window sensor is getting low and should be replaced.

My Search for the Best Deal on a Dedicated Server

Searching for a dedicated server can be stressful, especially when you have a lot of sites that are running slow as a result of their current host. Recently, I switched about 600 sites over to a dedicated server I borrowed from my friend Lynn. It is a pretty decent server, with two dual core Xeons running at 3 GHz. It also has 8 GB of RAM. However, it's just not enough. After switching DNS over to this new server, its load went to 20 very quickly. For those who don't know, a load of 20 means that there are 20 processes waiting in line to be processed. I don't like my loads to go above 2 or 3. I can deal with them spiking to as high as 4, but with a multicore/multiprocessor I don't want it to get above the number of cores/processors you have available.

Suffice to say that the web sites were loading very slowly. So, I switched the NS back to the VPS server I've been running them on. I've seen its load spike to 10 quite often but it normally stays well below 4. So the VPS is holding up pretty well considering. This VPS has 4 cores assigned to it, each at 1.6 GHz. It also only has 3GB of RAM. So, my question is, "Is a dedicated server really the best option?".

There's more factors in this as well. For instance, my sites are all on a WHM/cPanel install, which means I have to pay a monthly license fee for that as well. On a VPS this license is about half the cost as it is on a dedicated server. I like saving money.

I currently have my hosting through a small hosting provided in Knoxville, TN called Knoxcolo/Smith & Hammaker. I have a colo server (not the one I used for my 600 sites, it's a single site), and I have the VPS. For the colo they charge $35 for the 1U of rack space, and it's an unmetered drop. The VPS is $40 per 1GB of RAM. That's their rate, they don't charge for extra HDD space or even CPU cores. They are also a good bunch of people to work with. I have full access to the colo facility through a high security system. I rarely use it since my colo has an iLo connection for remote console even when the servers main drop is offline.

I thought that a dedicated server would be a better choice for my 600 sites, but I've found that the VPS is really the better choice in the long run. The only thing I don't like about the VPS is that I don't have the ability to remotely reboot the virtual machine. I'd really like this ability.

So I've found that perhaps a dedicated server isn't what I really want. Some VPS providers give you a lot more bang for your buck. You can spend hundreds of dollars per month on a very powerful dedicated server, but you have two problems. You don't want to spend a lot of money for hardware that you may not use fully. Of course, secondly, you don't want to spend a lot of money on a server that can't fully handle the load if you have a lot of sites. With a VPS, you have more power to change the hardware specs to meet the demand of your site load. You pay for whatever you need. This is really the best option for anyone who wants to host any number of sites. If you don't need much power, because you only have a few sites, you can save money.

However, you should look for the best deal on a VPS. Smaller companies actually have the better deal when it comes to a VPS, because they typically don't have as much total load on their rack of CPUs. If you get a VPS from a larger provider, they may be pushing their rack to its limits already, and you'll get terrible physical processor speeds, even if you are paying for four cores.

Shop around and look into VPS servers. They are great alternatives to dedicated or colo servers if you look in the right place.

Real Inspiration

Real street.jpg

Real de Catorce, mysteriously named "the royal fourteen" is a recovering ghost town (once larger than now prospering Monterrey), which, as our host Ed Alexander suggested (only part in jest) owes its renaissance largely to Texans who have moved in, rebuilt ruined houses and invited their friends to visit. Since out first visit about 10 years ago, the town has visibly recovered walls and rooflines -- and a rather bad movie, The Mexican, brought some Hollydollars to bear on the water system, and some well-connected visitors (Julia Roberts and Johnny Dep). Technology has made its inroads -- when we first traveled over the cobblestone road and through the long tunnel that are still the best access to the village, there was one telephone, a total pesos-only economy, and most of the kids had to leave home to have schooling beyond the 6th grade. All the citizens seem better dressed and the horseback guide business is obviously flourishing.

Now, there's an ATM machine in the Municipal Building's Department of Tourism (when we were there first, a civil feud had closed the city offices and the doors were barricaded), some cell phones work, and the internet is weaving its web -- including an internet school for the teenagers.

But, Real avoids -- at least for now -- taking on too many overnight tourists, too much comfort, too many mod-cons. It still feels like time travel. The rocks, the dust, the dry high 9000 feet in the mountain air speak with ancient accents. The Huichol people from distant Nayarit still travel there to gather the sacred peyote from the nearby mountain deserts; a lively international group of ex-pats -- Italians, Swiss and Americans mostly -- have a parallel society (some of whom are also there for the peyote.) Thousands of devote pilgrims travel there in September and October in Mexico's second-largest religious pilgrimage, this one to the honor of a healing and peripatetic Saint Francis of Asissi, whose milagro covered robe and countless testaments of thanksgiving painted on tin, paper, box cardboard and wood, are evidence of the perceived holiness of this place that is sometimes called the Macchu Pichu of Mexico.

Kerry : U.S will support Iraq, but without troops
Kerry : U.S will support Iraq, but without troops

U.S Secretary of State "John Kerry" said that America would support Iraq as it combats al-Qaida-linked militants who have seized cities in the country's west, but said the U.S wouldn't send troops, calling the battle "their fight".

Kerry made the comments as he left Jerusalem for Jordan and Saudi Arabia on Sunday to discuss his effort to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians Israeli Prime Minister "Benjamin Netanyahu".

In comments before leaving Jerusalem, Kerry told journalists that the U.S. was "very, very concerned" by the fighting, calling the group "the most dangerous players in that region", adding "we will stand with the government of Iraq and with others who will push back against their efforts to destabilize. We are going to do everything that is possible. I will not go into the details".

Kerry stressed "we are not contemplating putting boots on the ground. This is their fight".

The Islamic State in Iraq and Levant seized control of Fallujah and Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province. Ramadi was a stronghold of insurgents during the U.S.-led war. Al-Qaida militants largely took both cities over last week and have been fending off incursions by government forces there since.

KHFISIA, 2005, Athens, Greece

House for a young couple and their 3 children.

The house inhabits the middle of the long rectangular plot so that front and rear gardens are of equal importance.  Both horizontally and vertically, the exterior spaces equally carve up landscape and house as the green spaces create opportunities for rest and play and rise to inhabit the upper levels.

The flat landscape is manipulated to create a variety of topographies, from a playful Olive Mound, to the Sunken Garden, and up into the master bedroom Sky Garden on the First floor.

I believe there is a God that watches over us or more aptly a universe that watches over us. I believe everything happens for a reason. I believe in synchronicity. I believe in a purpose for all of us. I believe in the powers of a dream. I believe in soul mates. I really believe in the power of the soul.

I have read many spiritual books and truly believe in the power of something greater then ourselves. Right now at this time in my life I wish I didn't have so many beliefs because I think my journey would be a lot easier. If I could just take my beliefs and feelings and lock them in a safe somewhere until I get my human life squared away, I and just about everyone I know would be a lot happier(or perhaps not).

For the last few months I have been going through a spiritual awakening that has been both beautiful and frightening. It feels like everything about DebraAnn before is somehow different and it scares me to death. I know that my chakras are clear, that I can meditate and find myself in a beautiful forest. I know my heart and my head feel like they are loved. I know that my biggest obstacle to getting what I want in life is myself. I know all these things and yet I still cannot seem to get back to the DebraAnn of old. I've lost a bit of my spark and replaced it with lit chakras. Now I guess I have to find the spark and still continue to live with the chakras. I didn't really understand how chakras and meditation and that particular aspect of spirituality worked until I rid myself of childhood trauma and actually had nothing left in my head except now. Clearing your chakras is an amazing experience, it fills you with so much peace at least for a little while anyway.

Now has been a little scary, I have seen the best and worst in other people and myself. I have had to learn to accept that I am not all sweetness and light and that nobody else is either. I've had to learn that when you are a talker you make people worry. People do a lot of crazy things in their lives and keep them secret, as I'm sure you've noticed, I'm not one who can keep her own secrets. I'm an open book which has left me looking like a crazy person to everyone except my therapist and psychiatrist(that's what happens when you follow a truck on the highway).

Still I am going through the most profoundly spiritual experience in a life where I believe in this stuff. If I didn't believe it I wouldn't live where I live, I wouldn't be an artist, I wouldn't have made some of the pieces I've made which just popped into my head. Most of my work just pops into my head and I've noticed lately that a lot of my work is religious or spiritual iconography. I've also noticed that just about all of the music I listen to is also laden with spiritual iconography. I am a spiritual being lost in the body of a ADHD adult. My thoughts race and then I close my eyes and get rid of them and I can go to heaven for a few moments.

I guess I'm writing this because I'm sure I'm not the only one experiencing these kind of moments. I wanted people who believe in what they can't see as much as what they can, the knowledge that they are not alone. We are all connected on some giant circular thing called the universe. The lord and the universe work in mysterious ways and maybe that is the lesson of life itself, that we have to believe in the mystery as much as we believe in the monotony of normal life.

I also wrote this post to allow everyone who knows me just a wee bit of why I believe the things I do. I was brought up to be open-minded and my mother was very intellectual and researched a lot of interesting beliefs herself. One of my biggest beliefs is that she is still with my whenever I need her and I think she visited me last week after a particularly difficult time and chakra clearing. I also know that there are lights in all of the family occasion photos that happened after her death. The lights are always situated where my mother would have been standing at the moment. I know she was with me then and she is with me now. Now I know that probably just lost a few more readers but it is how I feel and what I believe.

Now don't get me wrong I don't judge people who don't believe the way I do, everyone has their own free will and their own interpretation of how their life works. This is just my journey and my life and what I believe in. So blessings to you I hope your good moments outweigh your bad, that I haven't offended anyone with my beliefs and that I haven't alienated anyone else.

What do you believe in? And you can just comment anonymously if that's what you need to do to keep your secret. Thanks in advance.

Maybe you need to be an all new you instead of geting back to the old you.
The new you will have all the parts you want yourself to be included in it.

I am not offended in any way and like to hear how others feel and why.
I don't really believe there is a God. There is no reason the good and loving God folks speak of would allow such hurt and agony for so many people.
I believe we create and allow our own way in life. It is affected by all around us because we can't control what others do. We should do what is right then we can be satisfied that we have done all we could to be a good person. B.

Thank you for a very thoughtful comment. I think you may be right about an all new me, the old one doesn't seem to fit the plans I have for my future. I guess all we can do is look inward and find what our hearts and souls need us to create to move them forward. Thanks again for such a thoughtful comment.

A belief is nothing more than a chronic pattern of thought, and you have the ability—if you try even a little bit—to begin a new pattern, to tell a new story, to achieve a different vibration, to change your point of attraction. The Law of Attraction is responding to your vibration, and you can easily change your vibrational point of attraction by visualizing the lifestyle you desire and holding your attention upon those images until you begin to feel relief, which will indicate that a true vibrational shift has occurred.
Tangled Stitch said…
I have to say I just love my anonymous posters, they are so thoughtful and caring. I am accepting the abundance of the universe and looking for the silver lining in everything, keeping my thoughts on the positive and uplifting instead of the negatives and baser instincts. Thanks for the confirmation of my path forward and I wish you a wonderful vibrational day also.

Drawbacks of the Vulcan Flipstart

Post by Kyodai » Mon Feb 26, 2018 9:19 am

OK, so here's the drawbacks i collected...

- Pretty heavy. Despite the small size it is nearly 2 pound, so more than double the weight than some competitors
- Fat. While i like the small size the height of the unit is too much for my liking. Even more when you use the extended battery.
- The little display. While pretty cool i never managed to display anything else but outlook related stuff. Too bad no SDK...
- The extension port. I think the only extension available was a better camera. The connector is very fragile, too. I broke off mine from the camera by just placing it on a table.

Branch Out Bike Tour 2014

Every year at this time, the Branch Out Foundation, which works towards finding a cure to the 600+ diseases of the nervous system, has a fundraising event in the Columbia Valley. It's called the Branch Out Bike Tour.

Participants leave Panorama Resort and ride their bicycles down the mountain to the valley town of Invermere, do a circuit of Lake Windermere, and ride back up to Panorama again! About 100km (62 miles) round trip. You'd be even more impressed if you could see all the uphills involved!

This spring's weather has been a bit, shall we say, dodgy. Yesterday, I went down the valley looking for shooting locations, and then crossed my fingers that it wouldn't rain on event day. Naturally, the forecast was for clear and sunny weather with temps in the mid-20Cs.

What did we wake up to? This:

Fog To The Deck

I got to my station and this is what the faster/early arrivals at my vantage point got for a background - at least the tops of the trees were free of fog:

And, happily for them, this is what the less speedy riders got:

The Last Shot I Took (But Not The Last Rider) - Click To Enlarge

The pro's in the race arrived about 30 minutes earlier than predicted, forcing me to grab my camera from the rear of the truck seconds after we arrived, and just rip off a few shots - happily, I'd already saved the camera's settings for just this eventuality, so I did manage to catch some of the lead group:

Over the next few days, I'll be working through the over-800 images I captured - I am uploading them in small batches, as soon as they're ready. Here's the link to the gallery on my website.

Garth Brooks has revealed when his new studio album will be available.

During a press conference in Atlanta, Ga. on Friday (Sept. 19), the singer disclosed that fans will be able to get the new project on November 11. No album title was revealed, and thus far the only two song titles known are his current single, 'People Loving People,' and 'Send 'Em on Down the Road.'

The digital retail home will, of course, be GhostTunes, Brooks' new online music store. There, fans can find all of his catalog, including the mega bundle that includes all of his current studio albums, this new project and one scheduled for 2015.

It's not clear which, if any, physical stores will sell the new album. Previously, Brooks has used Walmart as the exclusive retailer, but he hasn't yet said how he'll release the music he's recording with RCA Nashville. The Garth Brooks World Tour will be in Atlanta through Saturday.

Print Friendly and PDF

A Letter to David Stockman

Written by Gary North on March 14, 2015

Dear David:

I want to let you know just how glad I am I’m not in your shoes. Responsibility goes with the territory. You oversee a lot of territory.

You obviously have a lot of spare time on your hands, and so you have started a website. It gets a lot of traffic.

The site has what we in the direct-response advertising industry call a USP, or unique selling proposition. Your site’s USP is this: “Why Keynesian economic policies are going to blow up the world.” You provide both the economic theory and the statistical evidence that justifies the message of the Mogambo Guru: “WAFD.” (“We’re all freaking doomed.”)

This places you in an unenviable position. You are the lightning rod for all of the establishment economists and senior bureaucrats who are overseeing what is going to become the worst economic disaster of modern times. They don’t like the criticism. They fully understand that, if what you’re saying is true, they are going to get blamed in the media, the textbooks, and the cultural memory for a comprehensive disaster that they personally engineered, supervised, and took credit for when the going was good.

You are likely to become the John Maynard Keynes of this century. You will be remembered as the spokesman who called attention to the fact that the emperors have no clothes. Keynes served as the chief designer of the fabrics which have clothed the emperors ever since 1936.

Keynes provided exactly the clothing that the emperors of the mid-1930’s wanted, since they had already adopted both the fiscal and monetary policies that Keynes recommended in 1936. He provided the covering they wanted. This is why they heralded him as the economic prophet of the age. This is why his successors and acolytes have done the same. His position of pre-eminence will prevail until the great wardrobe malfunction takes place. We know the mark of this malfunction: Washington’s checks will bounce.

Your website is the premier site today which monitors the check-kiting operations of the world’s central banks. When taken in conjunction with Prof. Lawrence Kotlifoff’s assessment of the fiscal implications of the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare, we have the weather report on what is clearly going to be the perfect storm.

You are providing what every intellectual revolution requires. First, it requires an assessment of what has gone wrong. This assessment must be grounded in a coherent theory, and it must also be grounded in evidence for the theory. Second, every revolution involves the substitution of a better theory than the prevailing theory that undergirds the policies of the present order. Third, there has to be a prediction of inevitable disaster. Fourth, this prediction must be grounded in a rival theory and also on the evidence of how that theory is going to play out in the future: cause and effect. Fifth, there has to be a practical recommendation of how we get out of the disaster.

You have a coherent economic theory. You have grounded your analysis in the Austrian theory of the business cycle. You understand that it is central bank monetary expansion, which lowers interest rates in the short run. This is the basis of the subsequent boom, followed by contraction and widespread bankruptcies. In other words, you are not trying to fight something with nothing. You are returning to the original criticism of Keynesian economics, which was the only coherent alternative to the Keynesian analysis and prescriptions.

You have been able to show why the policies that have come out of the Keynesian economic tool kit will lead to the disaster that the Keynesians have promised would not take place if we just let them tinker with the fiscal and monetary policies of the major trading nations. You have pinned the tail — a looming catastrophe — on the backside of Keynes’s economic doctrine.

So, you have told us what has gone wrong, and you have done so by means of a cogent economic theory. This wins you no brownie points today in most circles. But when the checks stop coming, there will be a frantic search for explanations. You have offered a cogent explanation, based on a consistent theory, and also based on plausible statistical evidence. You have shown why specific causes have had specific effects.

As I have written elsewhere, you have the advantage of bringing to the table experience in the following fields: electoral politics, cabinet level bureaucratic infighting, fund management, and rhetorical confrontation. There is nobody else out there who has gone through these hoops. Because of this background, when Washington’s checks bounce, you will be in a strong position to benefit from the crucial words of any revolutionary: “I told you so.” More than this, you will also be able to utter these words: “I also told you why.”

It was unfortunate that the man who was most critical of Federal Reserve policies and central bank policies in general, from the year 2000 until 2007, was Dr. Kurt Richebächer. Every month, he reminded us that central bank bubbles were going to pop. Sadly, he died in August 2007, four months before the recession began. He therefore was not given credit retroactively for having taken the stand that he took. He was truly a voice crying in the wilderness.

Students Plan Trips For Break

By Christine R. Fry

Now that the weather has become more wintry, MIT students have begun to anticipate the holiday break. While most are looking forward to what may seem like a mundane break: sleeping, forgetting about schoolwork, and enjoying time at home with family and friends, some students, however, have more exotic plans to break the monotony of daily classes.

Home is traditionally where most people travel for the holidays, but families occasionally decide to forego familiar surroundings to explore new places.

Jamaica, Vegas among destinations

“I’m just going [to Jamaica] with my family. We’re going for vacation. Just to get away,” said Prachi Jain ’05. Jain is looking forward to lying on the beach in the sun as an escape from the cold weather at home.

“I’m from Minnesota. It’s probably going to be cold there,” Jain said.

However, the holidays aren’t all about relaxation. Rahul Agrawal ’03 is turning 21 years old over the break.

“I’m going to Vegas. I’m turning 21 in about a week so my family wants to take me out there,” he said.

Chang She ’05 is eagerly awaiting his trip overseas.

“I’m going to Hong Kong. I’m going to visit my uncle,” he said. This is She’s first trip to Hong Kong so he’s looking forward to “touring Hong Kong, [and] going to random places.”

Visits with friends planned

Another favorite aspect of winter break is seeing out old friends. Camilo R. Guaqueta ’03, from Colombia, and his friends from home are going to the tourist town, Cartagena, to see off another friend who is joining the Colombian Navy. Guaqueta and his friends decided not to let their friend leave alone.

“We’re all going to see him off there,” Guaqueta said.

Hooria Komal ’04 is not going to her native Pakistan for the holidays. Instead, she is considering a trip to England.

“I might be going to the [United Kingdom],” Komal said. If she goes, she will visit friends in Manchester. Komal says that she’s been to London before, but “I’ve never been to Manchester.”

Students gear up for IAP

Although students are looking forward to a much needed break, some are also excited about Independent Activities Period. Marissa L. Yates ’03 is excited about returning for Varsity Nordic ski team practice. The recent unseasonably warm weather has prevented the team from hitting the slopes.

“I’m coming back during IAP to ski. I skied competitively in high school. We race against Clarkson, Cornell, Army, and other small teams,” Yates said.

Righteous Indignation

Andrew Breitbart [7 years ago]

Righteous Indignation Book CoverDownload or Read Online Righteous Indignation - Andrew Breitbart free eBooks (PDF, ePub, Mobi), NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - now with a chapter on the "Weinergate" scandal

"Brash, funny, fiery, and irreverent." - Rush Limbaugh

Known for his network of conservative websites that draws millions of readers everyday, Andrew Breitbart has one main goal: to make sure the "liberally biased" major news outlets in this country cover all aspects of a story fairly. Breitbart is convinced that too many national stories are slanted by the news media in an unfair way.

In RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION, Breitbart talks about how one needs to deal with the liberal news world head on.

Red Star Rising: Cliff Kincaid on Our First Marxist President, Show Notes, Dangerous Thinkers, 023

Dangerous Thinkers

America’s Survival, Inc. (ASI) President Cliff Kincaid, a former writer for Ronald Reagan’s favorite newspaper, Human Events, is a journalist and media critic who first exposed Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis as Barack Obama’s mentor in February of 2008. He followed on May 22 of that year with a Washington, D.C. press conference which issued exclusive reports on Obama’s communist connections in Hawaii and Chicago. In August of 2008, ASI released the 600-page FBI file on Davis. ASI has an Internet-based Roku TV channel, produced in association with Jerry Kenney, which reaches people in 110 countries. Our YouTube channel has nearly 500 exclusive videos and one million views. We provide a free mobile device app for Android and iPhones to access our videos, news, and Facebook and Twitter feeds.

 Key Points

  • How the American Intelligence Community enabled our first Marxist President, Barack Hussein Obama
  • How the current revelations about corruption in the FBI relate to Obama
  • Why the Intelligence Community has been so determined to go after President Trump
  • The loophole in our system that allows a hard-wired Marxist like Obama to be elected president
  • How Obama got elected: we relied on the media, and the media suppressed the truth
  • What better act of diversion than to accuse President Trump of being a Soviet agent when in fact it was Obama who was?
  • The stunning way that the Communist Chinese state-controlled media referred to Obama, which makes clear that they consider him a fellow communist
  • How Obama’s presidency was designed to support both the communist and Muslim enemies of the United States
  • While Obama did tremendous damage with this foreign policy, his domestic cultural Marxist agenda was also extremely destructive
  • Why it is impossible to be a “gay conservative”
  • The tremendous importance of new media today

Several of Obama’s fat stooges, former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, Dick “Eddie Haskell” Durbin, and The Combover, sleazy Chicago political operative David Axelrod, appear on Sunday shows to try to clean up the mess created by the Obama administration’s Benghazi coverup, a coverup necessary because the murder of 4 Americans on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by al Qaeda destroys Obama’s fairy tale about his foreign policy prowess. Yes, bin Laden is dead, but sadly, so is J. Christopher Stevens, and with him, the One’s narrative about destroying al Qaeda. They are on the march, which makes Van Jones’ statement that Barack Obama is a “towering figure in foreign policy” beyond ridiculous.

Gunilla - welcome to this side of 40! ;)

One of my good friends (one of my DT colleagues @ Pyssloteket) turned 40 recently and I was invited to her big party - it was great fun and I had big blisters under my feet afterwards! :) This dear friend has the same love for bright colours as I have, so I decided to make her a card that was easy to detect the maker - a card with sunflowers on!

Yellow, bling and sunflowers - yes, she guessed it right away! She KNEW it was a Tettiz-card! :)

Take care!

As soon as you start to deal with backup strategies, you will come across two abbreviations you need to deal with: RTO and RPO.

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) simply means the time in minutes until a crashed system is up and running again. For example, if your backup server is able to restore your entire file server within 60 minutes, you have a RTO of 60.

However, this does not say anything about if the data you have restored were from one hour ago, yesterday or from last year. This is defined by the Recovery Point Objective (RPO).

A quick example: You save your file server every night at 20:00 (8pm). One day, all data on this server is lost at 11:00 (11am). You then do the restore and everything is up and running again at 13:00 (1pm).

In this example, you had an Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of 120 minutes (11:00 - 13:00). The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) was however 15 hours (20:00 - 11:00).

Dealing with these values can be quite challenging, but sometimes the biggest problem is not to confuse RTO with RPO.

I simply remember RTO as "Ready to gO" (after a crash) so RPO means how old the backup can be.

  1. Great Explanation.. Thanks alot ....

  2. The topic that is so easy (after i read your explanation) has been made complicated by several authors for CISA Examination

    Thanks so much

    Hi there!

    I loved your podcast, and I think you guys do an incredible job.

    I just thought I’d drop a lengthy side-comment about your information on the green tea study. I lived in Taiwan for a year, teaching English, so I have a years’ worth of experience of drinking delicious, fresh green tea and oolong tea – and I also majored in Nutritional Science in college. I thought it was interesting that you dismissed naturally brewed tea as inferior to the supplement form.

    First, I will say that nutrients in supplement form will be treated differently in your digestive system than in their natural form. In nutritional science, the consensus is that nutrients in their natural form are better than in supplement form. Now, this is complicated, since the supplement industry in America is also very unregulated, and you cannot actually guarantee that what they advertise is actually inside that pill-form supplement. Even natural food varies in nutritional value, since their nutritional content depends on the soil they grew in, the nutrients they received from elsewhere, the weather, etc. BUT – in general, nutrients absorbed in their natural state in food is preferable.

    However, despite all this, I wouldn’t ever venture to say that your store-bought green tea bags are at all better than a supplement. Why? Because my experience in Taiwan showed me what tea actually is. Real green tea is not at all consumed the way Americans consume it. Fresh green tea leaves are much, much different than the processed, crushed, preserved stuff that Americans buy – and you can really taste the difference, too. Green tea is not crushed in East Asia – it is rolled and dried and roasted (lightly or not at all, depending on the kind), and then – when properly prepared – it is infused into hot (not boiling) water. The dried leaves open up in the water and release their taste and nutrients into the water. Another factor to consider is the nutrient/mineral build-up in the clay tea pots used to brew tea. Usually, one never washes clay tea pots with soap and water. People use the clay tea pots over and over to help build up the nutrients in the clay tea pots, which then improves the taste and value of the tea they drink over time.

    Another thing to add is that before every tea brewing session, one should rinse the dried tea leaves with hot water to rinse off any pesticides or unwanted particles in the tea before infusing it and drinking it. This is an important step in traditional tea-brewing that Americans never do.

    So, in conclusion: the way we brew and drink tea in America is vastly different than the methods used to brew and drink tea in East Asia. The way we drink it in the West is not nearly as beneficial to our health. I don’t think it is fair to compare PROPERLY brewed green tea to green tea supplements (which are unregulated in America). Did this study you mentioned also analyze the contents of the green tea supplement itself? I’d like to know that as well! 🙂

    • Randy Schueller December 4, 2015, 11:43 am

      Thanks Sabrina. I’m interested to see if Perry…uh I mean “Left Brain” will follow up on this.

  • Eileen December 7, 2015, 10:30 am

    Thank you, Sabrina, for all the information about the fresh green tea you experienced in Taiwan versus the green tea commonly sold in the US and probably in most other non-Asian countries. I think it is obvious that comparing supplements to an Asian style fresh green tea beverage would not be the same as comparing supplements to an American style processed green tea beverage, but your information explained why those differences in tea preparation would have an impact.

    Since I live in the US and only have easy access to the green tea typically marketed in this country, the information that The Brains provided is pertinent to my situation, but if I had access to the type of tea that you experienced in Taiwan, then you’d be my green tea guru 🙂 Thanks again, Sabrina, for the interesting comments.

    • Dani December 7, 2015, 1:04 pm

      If there is an Asian grocery store near you, you could most likely find higher quality green tea there. It won’t be quite as fresh as in Taiwan, but a huge step up from grocery store tea bags.

      • Eileen December 8, 2015, 10:35 am

        Thank you for the suggestion, Dani. There are Asian grocieries nearby so I’ll take a look 🙂

  • Paul August 16, 2016, 8:24 am

    Thanks for the interesting audio cast.

    It was interesting to hear your comparisons of Olive and Argan Oil based on the Oleic acid content. I think you were proposing they may have similar effects based on this. BUT…. you also should take into account the fact that Argan Oil has about twice the vitamin E/anti oxidant content of olive and also a loads of plant sterols as well as compounds like arganine which I think are unique to Argan.

    Argan also contains Ursolic acid which has been shown to help boost collagen production ( study details at bottom of this page http://arganoildirect.com/collagen-boosting-the-benefits-of-argan-oil-and-topical-vitamin-c ). Olive oil only has ursolic acid in “trace quantities”.

    Finally… in Morocco – which is rich in very high quality Olive oils – Moroccan women still choose Argan even though it is much more expensive. For hair Olive oil is widely used in Morocco.

    • Randy Schueller August 16, 2016, 4:48 pm

      Hi Paul. I tried to follow the link but the only technical paper I found was one discussing the composition of organ oil. Do you have a link to any studies showing that it provides benefits when applied topically to skin? Thanks.

#MondayMantra I am a Blessed & Grateful Mother

Mothers come in many different packages, and you don’t have to give birth to be a mother. I did, so this is part of my story.

Without question, being a parent has been the hardest yet most important job I’ve ever done.
Like most people, I had NO FRIGGIN CLUE what I was doing. Some days I still don’t!

I was super excited to be a mom, even though I was not in a good or stable environment at the time. I knew that the tiny human inside me was going to change my life in a profound way- and he did. Oh boy, did he ever!

He taught me how to be fierce and be a fighter. He taught me how to face my fears and kick them to the curb. He taught me how to do whatever was necessary to survive, to protect, to learn & grow. He taught me how to sacrifice and give everything- not just willingly, but joyfully. He taught me how to really cry, how to belly laugh, and how to heal the most broken of hearts. He taught me how to ask for help, and how to offer a hand to others.

Nearly 29 years later, he still teaches me. Yesterday he taught me how to cry tears of gratitude and joy in the middle of a carnival at the park when he handed me this card and said, “Happy Mothers Day. I love you, Mom.”

Yes. I am blessed & grateful today, and every day.

Avondale kicks off historic enhancement

Written by

By Rocky Mertz

City Councilmember Jeff Pastor and City Manager Harry Black joined an overflow crowd of Avondale residents and community partners on Blair Avenue on March 1 to kick off the longest and largest Neighborhood Enhancement Program (NEP) in history.

Normally a 90-day blitz, this NEP will run for eight months, from March 1 to October 31. During that time a team of City departments, residents and partner agencies will come together for numerous beautification efforts, crimefighting initiatives, and neighborhood support projects.

One thing that will make this NEP unique is the overall size. The Avondale NEP – the 25th in program history – will cover more than 1 square mile of the neighborhood, which equates to nearly 1,800 parcels of land. That area consists of more than 1,200 buildings and accounts for more than 3,400 housing units.

“This morning I kicked off the Neighborhood Enhancement Program for 2018. Avondale is alive and a destination for the future,” said Councilmember Pastor who chairs the Neighborhoods committee.        “We are a proud partner with Avondale Comprehensive Development Corporation and the Avondale Community Council to increase home ownership. What began today will lead the way for even better tomorrows for the residents in Avondale.”

“This initiative offers the City a unique opportunity to provide resources and support to residents who want to make a true, meaningful and lasting difference in their neighborhood,” added City Manager Harry Black. “Nothing happens overnight. It is going to take a lot of time to get where we want to be. But based on the energy we see here today and the buy-in we’ve already received from the community, we’re very excited about the direction we’re headed.”

This NEP will follow the success of last year’s Westwood/East Westwood NEP, quite literally, by following the path of the ongoing PIVOT initiative. The Cincinnati Police Department is using the place-based violence reduction strategy to focus on three target areas inside the Avondale NEP zone.

The highlight of Thursday’s event was the demolition of a decade-old “community nuisance” property at 3420 Hallwood Place, a former apartment building with a history of housing drug activity and violent crime.

“I am very excited to finally see this eyesore removed. Hopefully this will make Blair Avenue a better place to live,” said Jeffrey Ison, one of several longtime Blair Avenue homeowners in attendance.

It is important to note that none of this would be possible without the continued support of various partners.

In particular the Hamilton County Land Reutilization Corporation and Greater Cincinnati Redevelopment Authority have spent many hours and resources supporting the NEP effort in Avondale.

“The Redevelopment Authority and Landbank are excited to work with the City, Avondale Comprehensive Development Corporation, Avondale Community Council and other community partners to support the Avondale NEP,” said Jessica Powell, vice president of the Hamilton County Land Reutilization Corporation.

“The Landbank acquired the blighted apartment building on Hallwood and was able to demolish it today in partnership with the City using our state demolition funds. We are excited to have provided such a tangible accomplishment for the start of this important process.  We look forward to finding ways to use the tools of the Landbank and GCRA throughout the Avondale NEP process and beyond.”

Other elements of the NEP will be revealed over the next few months, including cleanup and volunteer opportunities, as well as several signature projects that will address specific requests made by a stakeholder group of residents.
