Now they can make O his celly.
If they can give him that O can handle more.
O – Americans don’t deserve their freedom.
Cosby gets 3-10 years in Jail !
How about the Media & Liberal Press that covered up for him and portrayed him as “Americas DAD” …they created the Monster that thought he could get away with his crimes because the media made him untouchable ! What a PHONEY portrayal .They are as much to blame as he …”Americas DAD”thought he was untouchable because the Media created his false image that NO ONE dared to criticize anything he did ,and he was a black role MODEL and who dares to attack that role model the phony tv persona with the Fake Family and being black to boot..Who was gonna blow the whistle on that …the Media Darling the phony black Family Man ! Sixty some women and nobody in Media dared to expose him because they created him .The TV Media heads should join him in JAIL.They created and enabled him to think he could get away with his shit and the Liberal Media said NOTHING and let those women victims endure his Rape and drugs while they covered for him because THEY CREATED HIM……The Black Family model was as phoney as the “Americas DAD” play on words ….Its really the best example of how Damaging the Liberal Media is to this Country…Phoney Lies all of it….!

What I learned in psychology is that the language center of the brain starts to close at about 13. That came when they rescued a girl who was isolated by her father and bound all her life. She never learned to speak afterwards except a couple words. However I think they should not base it on this severe abuse case because it also caused emotional and sensory retardation along with physical issues from being forced to sit in a potty chair all her life and stare at a wall. The SOB father killed himself when her mother escapes which should of been day one. I do believe it starts to close in time and why it gets harder to learn a new language the older you get.

I hope your daughters retained their French. They probably wouldn’t of had a accent. I was learning German at that age from a relative and a little French from my grandfather who was also Scottish from his french Scottish father. A little Scottish words too. Don’t remember them now. I held on to counting to 10 in German I learned as a tot but forgot that too except the first two lol
If they were keeping it up as they get older you have to watch what they are reading. By 15-16 I was fluent so started getting anything in French I could find to keep it up. I dropped French four because I was already fluent and the class seemed boring. Should of stayed because it was more learning about French customs and phrases. As you know people can pick up a word or phrase and not know what it means. For instance Sacre bleu or sacred blue meant they were cursing their flag. As you know one of the colors. I picked up French magazines at school and they look like our house type magazines but Included adult content. That was in the late 60s. They had articles in it like Dr Ruth the sex therapist. I was really surprised they had them in public magazines. A lot of jokes then revolved around sex although funny. It’s good though it makes you more aware at that age when a girl may have no clue what some guys were up to although that wasn’t fool proof. Guess it was the time of the revolution.
What I noticed was the way they talk now seems different than the way they did them. If I watch old movies I can recognize the words even if I don’t remember the meaning and pick up words, but the new movies not as easily. I guess each generation has their own way of talking.
Alex,
Re accents, if you change countries and learn a new language after 16 years of age, you will (in most cases) never acquire the accent of your new country, as per psychologists research.
Goldie – If you learn a language early enough , you will have no accent .
I spent 2-1/2 years in Switzerland and France in my early 20’s after over 4 years of high school French , so I became fluent in the language , but retained a very mild accent . Years later I was hired to work in Belgium for an American company and moved my family there for three years . I put my girls , aged 3 and 5 into the local schools in French . They were very frustrated the first few months , but picked up the language quickly . Meanwhile at work I was getting all kinds of accolades by my colleagues for my ‘excellent’ French accent . A year later my eldest daughter was in the first grade and was coming home with Math homework , which she hated to do and would put it off if she could .
I arrived home one evening from work and saw my eldest as I entered , so I said in French ” Come on , let’s do your homework together quickly after I change and before dinner , so you have the rest of the evening to play with your sister and little brother .” As I was changing out of my business suit , my daughters were in the next room … a four year old , and a six year old , MIMICKING my ‘excellent’ French accent . The feedback at work was pure BS ! ‘Excellent’ French accent my *ss !

Il est interssant. Forgot most my French nobody spoke it but a grandfather then a partial memory loss that I realized after watching a show in french a couple of years later when I recognized words I could speak it. What I could speak a french guy told me I spoke it well without the English accent but wouldn’t know. Since I learned it first and fluently when I spoke Spanish the Spanish said I spoke Spanish with a french accent lol Well that explains it anyways.
Goldie – Canada was originally a French territory
Britain then established a trading post up in the area of James and Hudsons Bays ( The Hudson’s Bay Company , founded in 1670 ).
During the French and Indian wars , Britain was fighting France . Washington was an officer in the British forces and created an international incident when he attacked a French detachment at Jumonville ( East of Uniontown , PA ) one morning at dawn . That French group was led by a man who was nobility in France , and was found with two documents on his person . One , a peace treaty and the other a declaration of war . After the massacre , Washington retreated to the East and was held in siege at Fort Necessity for some time , eventually surrendering , as I recall .
Anyway – the British Commander further north up in the region of NY and NH , General Wolfe commanded troops who attacked the French fortress at what is now Quebec City and took it , making Quebec and Canada , a land ruled by the British . Immigration to Canada by British subjects was encouraged to balance Canada’s population . Even today the Provincial government in Quebec is called ‘ L’Assemblé National – (the National Government) of French speaking Quebec , and the provincial license plates have ( or had ) the inscription “Je me Souviens ” ( I remember !) . Quebec is more loosely integrated with the rest of Canada than the other provinces .

silver leading us out sounds like a great idea to me.

Summarize it: I’m kinda tired right now to go through it cuz besides work life and dealing with dealer fraud. It was funny, not long after I said here if IQ was based on mechanics like a car I wouldn’t do so good it happened. Lol
I had to order a new windshield for my car. I already noticed I got ripped off on no assessories but charged the price and thought well I already signed. But THEN when the guy went to put my windshield in he said it’s not the right model. I’m like yes it is. He said it’s not. Omg Thet sold me the wrong model.
Then my son in law looked at the paperwork said he checked the model and it comes with a warrantee and they added 1800 more for a extended warrantee you already have. Anyways we went down there tried to walk off with the paperwork but told them no. They could make a copy, tried to gang up on us but that wasn’t working. I just wanted a discount but since then they are not retiring calls. Typical via reviews. So now I’m looking for a Atty they can take it back and refund my money.
Anyways, it can immulate wheat sensitivity but from the byproducts of pesticides including heavy metals.
It can affect neurotransmitters and affect our systems memory mood sleep energy. Farmers use Nickel salts a heavy metal for rust control. It can raise blood sugar levels.
Commercial food producers can add a enzyme Microbial Transglutiaminase including dairy and meats. It activates gluten that can cause immune response that could be responsible for increase celiac disease.
It can affect the integrity of the good bugs in the gut along with other commercial products including personal care we use.
There’s more but you’ll have to read it lol

Wow That’s a lot of information. It’s hard to trace past US without names. I remember on a census my great great grandfather said his parents were from Ontario but was not a Stewart but French and because of his name something else. Maybe there was a wave from something like that from France too because my grandfather had traced his too from a King. He had both their seals. I don’t know who got them. Hope you keep all this info make copies to pass down with names or hard to trace. I remembered the name of GG grandmother when I saw the sesls. No names hard to trace once it’s out of US. Since then I inherited other countries in the melting pot of the US lol

…leading gold out of the summer doldrums? i’ve heard ideas i liked less.
Photo of King George III land grant to my ancestor , Hugh MacGregor
and at the bottom the huge wax seal , attached by a ribbon to the document .
Ontario was then called Upper Canada because it was next to the upper reaches of the Saint Lawrence River . Quebec , being closer to the Atlantic was called Lower Canada or , the Eastern Townships by those in ‘the West’ – Upper Canada / Ontario .
The document starts ” George the Third by the Grace of GOD , of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland King , and Defender of the Faith …..etc.
Goldie – yes, the wave was the Highland Clearances
For centuries , there were no deeds in the highlands and the serfs ( crofters ) had allegiance to their local clan chiefs . They paid a portion of their yield to the chieftain for protection from marauders . When deeding became the law , the Lairds ( Land Lords ) became the legal owners of their lands . This was around the time that Scotland , England , Wales and Ireland came under the rule of a single king in London , under a Stewart king from Scotland .
It was a time of high level stakes card games in high society . Many of these Lairds were given to drinking to excess and risk taking . Many of their lands then fell into the hands of English landlords eventually . This was compounded by the Stewart lineage being removed from the throne of the United Kingdom , and an attempt to break up the UK failed in 1745 at Culloden ( led by Bonnie Prince Charlie Stewart , who was raised in France ). That was the final blow to the Stewart claims to the throne .
Around that time , the Lairds decided they didn’t need whiskey , turnips and chickens from the crofters as much as real income from the lands of the crofters , and a weather resistant strain of sheep had been developed which were ideally suited to the cold wet weather of the highlands of Scotland . This was also an era when textile mills were crying for wool , so the Lairds had the crofters removed from their lands in the Highland Clearances which continued into the early 1800’s . Many came to Canada as well as Australia and New Zealand . When I was still in high school in the mid-1950’s I would say that over half of my schoolmates had Scottish surnames . Since then , immigration has had a huge effect on Canada’s ethnic makeup , so names tracing back to Scotland are now a minority , I am sure .
Concentrations of Scottish settlements were in Nova Scotia and the eastern counties of Ontario . Loyalists to the crown of England ( considered traitors after the Revolution ) left the 13 colonies ( particularly Mohawk Valley , NY ) to emigrate northward to British North America ( Canada ) and were given lands in Eastern Ontario . I have two of the land grant documents in my possession , signed and sealed by the governor general – the representative of King George III .
Sounds like Europe is going to bypass US sanctions on Iran
Europe Unveils “Special Purpose Vehicle” To Bypass SWIFT, Jeopardizing Dollar’s Reserve Status
snip
While keeping SWIFT as is, for now, the EU’s foreign-policy head Federica Mogherini side by side with Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif announced a “special purpose vehicle” jointly, in English and Farsi, after a meeting at the U.N. of the parties still committed to the deal—Iran, EU, U.K., France, Germany, Russia and China. In fact, everyone but the US.
According to Mogherini, the plan to create the SPV “will mean that EU member states will set up a legal entity to facilitate legitimate financial transactions with Iran, and this will allow European companies to continue trade with Iran” despite Trump’s opposition.

There must of been a wave of Scottish coming to Canada around that time. I found my great great grandmother grave, a Stewart buried surprisingly in a Kock family plot in Wisconsin. Her family think her grandparents came from Canada.
Also parents of her husband g g grandfather who was French. Just from tracing can see gg grandfather worked for the railroad and divorced later when she apparently met the Knochs who met her there and were married. She married again and not a Knoch but probably a relative tracing him who must of been well known because when he died there was a newspaper story on him and was also buried in the same plot even though they were living in Florida then.
This mass immigration needs to stop.
They believe in Sharia and their culture will not adapt. Those who try are killed or harassed.
I’m wondering who did this. Car plowed into a 100 children and teachers.

Can you summarize it? I don’t want to get a crick in my neck. If it says that nicotinoids and other pesticides are also to blame … I already know that.
No I don’t care to be spied on more completely
Google Chrome Begins ‘Syncing’ All Browser Data to Your Identity Without Asking
Google users are concerned about their browsing privacy after a recent update at Google secretly logs Chrome browser users into their online Google accounts, syncing data without asking, a move one expert says has “enormous implications for user privacy and trust.”
As detailed by cryptographer and professor Matthew Green on his blog on Sunday, Google made the change several weeks ago.
“Due to Chrome’s new user-unfriendly forced login policy — I won’t be using it going forward,” declared professor Green. “A few weeks ago Google shipped an update to Chrome that fundamentally changes the sign-in experience. From now on, every time you log into a Google property (for example, Gmail), Chrome will automatically sign the browser into your Google account for you. It’ll do this without asking, or even explicitly notifying you.”
“Your sole warning — in the event that you’re looking for it — is that your Google profile picture will appear in the upper-right hand corner of the browser window. I noticed mine the other day,” he continued, adding that the “update has huge implications for Google and the future of Chrome.”
