Skip to comments.Foxs Ed Henry: Some Fox Shows Have Given Benghazi More Coverage Than Needed
Posted on 12/10/2012 5:47:40 PM PST by Olog-hai
Fox News White House Correspondent Ed Henry told the Associated Press Thursday that some of Fox shows and commentators have covered Benghazi more than it needed to be covered.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnsnews.com ...
Sure, and Watergate was not covered enough even tho it was pretty much continuous coverage 24/7 for months on end.
Fox is "knuckling under" to the regime.
And our president says its a bump in the road. Couldn't even stay in Washington and deal with it. Had to go to freakin Vegas for a fund raiser.
Believe me when I tell you that many people in my branch of the service have taken note of his BFD attitude.
Me thinks the WH has corrupted dimples.
TREASON...in real-time, pre-meditated, continuous, ongoing. Questions NOT asked, answers NOT forthcoming. TREASON like this republic has never seen before.
Nothing to see there Ed Propagandist...move along now.
R.I.P. Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, Chris Stevens, Tyrone Woods.
R.I.H. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, David Petraeus, Susan Rice and the remainder of the co-conspirators/enablers.
The Saudi part-owners of Fox must've called.
Ed must be taking heat from his pals at CNN.
Hey Ed, As a Vietnam journalist I don't think that Benghazigate has been covered ENOUGH! When the DemoRats hide something to the extent that they did, there is FIRE, not just smoke.
I've seen lots of coverups in my 40 years in journalism, but never AS MANY as in the OBAMA REGIME's reign. I could make another career in just investigating and writing about them from the fiascos in DHS, HHS, Agric. (i.e. the San Joaquin massive unemployment disaster), Pigford fraud, Cobell fraud, Moslem Brotherhood disasters, Islamic penetration of our prison systems, Islamic PC efforts in the US, Rules of Engagement disasters in Aghanistan (there is a new book out on the biggest one), the failures at Manat outpost, the failures to kill Bin Laden over the years, Obama's bowing down to every tin pot dictator, Obama's massive connections to the US Communist/Marxist movement, his red appointees, his criminal appointees, his delusional statements, etc.
Ed: You're young. Still time to understand that Fox has only scratched the surface of The Messiah's disasters and coverups.
Oh, I forgot the biggest cover-upper of all, Eric Holder. You have no idea how corrupt DOJ has become under his rule, and how it has polluted/poisoned other agencies and people.
Never say "ENOUGH" when you are dealing with Obama and the Democrats, because "ENOUGH IS NEVER THE RIGHT WORD".
"MUCH MORE" is.
MadMax, Hueys are the only way to go in Nam and Cambodia!
People in all branches of the services have taken notice. I was really shocked at how mad my "good 'ol boy" son was and is. He practically sizzles when the subject is brought up.
I'm thinking Iran/Contra, No WMD in Iraq, Valerie Palme stories.
**WHO in the hell gave the damn order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?**
What's the matter, Ed? Your buddies giving you a bad time in the press bar?
Craziness. Nancy pelosi and the libdems ran against Mark Foley in 2006 and won the HoR. The media covered all of her pronouncements and repeated all the questions ad nauseum.
Seriously, Ed, the question is not who at Fox is questioning Benghazi too much, but, why all the others are not questioning enough.
First it was "Fast and Furious" and now it's the Benghazi murders. Everything is going down the rabbit hole.
I have lost count of all the scandals, crimes and apparent acts of treason... it's all becoming a blur to me.
Things seem to build up, drag on and then, just blow away.
Anybody else notice that whoever covers Obama, from FoxNews, slants their stories for Obama? FED UP WITH THEM ALL!
This is very disappointing to hear him say that.
have to agree with you..Ed Henry will be 'bought and paid' for by the end of Hussein O. term...
and bet Ed would change his story if one of those four were a member of his family or a close friend...what say you Mr. Ed?
America does not deserve its current inhabitants.
And the current inhabitants do not deserve America.
There are some who do not deserve to be painted with this broad brush, and so I make this mention of them.
But beyond those people, the rest deserve to fall, and fall hard.
Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood in control
Libya: Hussein gave weapons to rebels. Rebels include Al Qaeda.
Syria: Hussein intends to attack Syria just as he did in Libya for the overthrow of the government so that the rebels gain control. The rebels include Al Qaeda.
Iraq: Hussein withdrew US Troops so terrorist attacks could increase. Hussein also wants that government overthrown so rebels can gain control.
Why did Hussein block relief efforts in Libya? You've have to be a Forest Gump idiot to even ask the question. The answer is obvious.
Henry was probably directing his remark, of last Thursday, to Hannity and Greta, and maybe Lou Dobbs, commentators who probably turned the Benghazi story into a bonanza ratings triumph.
But for Catherine Herridge and the other female reporter, we would still know only the talking points. Given no one seems to care, and there will be no accountability, it all seems for naught.
Issa seems already to have become bored with Fast & Furious, so what chance does Benghazi have? Poor guy. No one cares in DC. McCain chews on this stuff for his moment in the spotlight and then retreats.
I hope he is flooded with emails on this. I can't find where to write him, and I don't do twitter.
People know all about the holocaust and Gestapo, but US historians have covered Japan's 1930's considerably less. Japanese authorities hadvery good control of their media but it was ALL INFORMAL —there were VERY few actual legal provisions for formal control of the press.
It was ALL self-censorship —they'd dispatch some insider to talk to a newpaper biggie, and they'd crush stories they didn't like —arrests of political enemies, battles that went the wrong way, even freaking NANKING; there was almost nothing they couldn't throttle down.
Ya know what they said? They said that INFORMAL control was way better, somehow. They said that trying the suckers to censor themselves was much better than going and creating heroes by throwing them in jail, and THAT kept the system rolling.
At the time I first learned that I was incredulous but I'm sorry to say that as an American in this day and age...
Major Garret became an Axelrod groupie .
Going to the evil one birthday parties and water gun fights .
Eddy will be another Axelrod groupie but it appears he has been absorbed into the Obama media collective .
**WHO in the hell gave the damn order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?**
Exactly. THAT is the question and seems it has gotten lost.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Fact One:
1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.
Plus Fact Two:
2) No rescue mission was attempted.
Equals Fact Three:
3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
p.s. isn't old axelrod a 'hoot' with the mustache gone? he made me chuckle out loud...he was ugly now just more ugly!!!
Just ask George Zimmerman or the Duke Lacrosse Team.
He should be made to go wherever Dick Morris and Karl Rove are now.
The Hannity show?
Major Garrett quit Fox News for print media a couple years ago...National Journal I believe and I could not understand why he would want to. Now I see that he is doing an Alphabet network(CBS?) but keeping some NJ column? He seems confused. I thought he was rock solid but when he left Fox...
There is no one @ FOX that is more than moderately competent....most are in the same league as Shep the homo!
AMEN to that...
there was a time I was addicted to FOX NEWS but no longer and proud to say I've kicked the habit...
Until the President, and possibly several members of his Staff, have been tried and convicted of Treason...
There isn't enough coverage available during a 24 hour day.

Top Ten Consumer Complaints of 2013
Top Ten Consumer Complaints of 2013
Tuesday, April 01, 2014
Last year, 19,865 consumers filed complaints with Attorney General Roy Cooper's Consumer Protection Division. To
file a complaint
or get tips on avoiding problems, visit
or call 1-877-5-NO-SCAM. Here are the top consumer complaints of 2013:
1. Do Not Call:
A total of 5,076 North Carolina consumers filed complaints about unwanted calls from telemarketers last year. The majority of complaints came from consumers who had listed their telephone number on the Do Not Call Registry but still got unwanted calls. Among the top sources of complaints are calls pitching medical alert systems and home alarm systems. Many of these are illegal robocalls which ask consumers to press a number to speak with a representative. To cut down on unwanted sales calls, join the
Do Not Call Registry
and then
report violators
2. Lending:
3,366 people complained to us about lenders last year, including problems with high interest rates, charges for late or missed payments, expensive Internet payday loans, adjustable rate mortgages, and loan fees. Many consumers need help dealing with foreclosure, or have fallen for a foreclosure assistance or loan modification scam. It's against North Carolina law to charge an upfront fee for foreclosure help. For free help dealing with foreclosure, homeowners can contact the
State Home Foreclosure Prevention Project
by calling 1-888-442-8188 or 1-888-623-8631.
3. Telemarketing Fraud:
We received 3,056 complaints about telemarketing fraud last year. Scammers usually located outside the U.S. try to lure consumers into giving up their money and their personal information. Some of the most popular telemarketing schemes include sweepstakes and lotteries, sweetheart scams,
grandparent and sweetheart scams
, phony government grants, and advanced fee loans.
4. Health Care:
In 2013, a total of 1,445 people filed complaints about health care. Common complaints include problems with charges for weight loss products, hearing aids, and other medical equipment. Consumers also have problems with medical billing or collection practices and overcharges for medical services.
5. Home Repair:
We received 1,354 complaints about home construction and repair work. Consumers complain about shoddy work as well as contractors who abandon the job after getting paid, miss deadlines, or go over budget. There are also scam artists who target homeowners, especially seniors, with expensive and unnecessary repairs.
6. Motor Vehicles:
1,279 consumers who had problems with car repair and purchases filed complaints with our office in 2013. Common complaints include mechanical problems with used cars, difficulties getting a car title when the dealership has gone out of business, and failure to honor warranties. People also complain about car repairs, especially pricing, improper diagnosis, unauthorized repairs, and slow repair jobs.
7. Credit and Collections:
1,177 North Carolinians filed complaints about credit repair scams, incorrect credit reports, debt collectors and identity theft. Under North Carolina law, it's illegal to charge an upfront fee for credit repair or debt settlement help. Consumers also complain about threatening calls from debt collectors as well as calls about debts that aren't really theirs. Identity thieves continue to steal personal financial information and use it to run up debts and commit fraud in someone else's name.
8. Television Services:
We heard from 788 consumers last year about service and billing problems with their cable or satellite television. The Consumer Protection Division is authorized by statute to handle only complaints about state-issued cable franchises.
9. Internet/Computers:
750 consumers complained about Internet service providers, unsolicited e-mails, computers, computer software, and Internet auctions as well as merchandise they ordered online that was never delivered.
10. Furniture:
We fielded 728 complaints from consumers about home furnishings last year. Consumers often contact us when an item they've paid for never arrives, or when their piece of furniture arrives damaged or defective.

Demi Moore has been having a rough go of things since her split from Ashton Kutcher, but the actress displayed some noticeably bizarre behavior last night at a party in Miami.
Wearing a very short dress that no 50-year-old should be sporting, regardless of how hot they look for their age, Demi seemed to make the other guests like rocker Lenny Kravitz uncomfortable with her bold dance moves, while she periodically tossed her hair over her face when photographers tried to get a shot of her, according to Daily Mail.
It looks like Demi has a new boy-toy, though. Find out the details after the jump!

Bake at 800 degrees for a couple minutes. [...] That's all there is to it.
At first I thought your recipe for good pizza was simple; after all you did say, "That's all there is to it" but then I got to the part where you said 800 degrees. Somehow I think more people have a microwave oven than an 800 degree oven. You can go out of your way to bake your pizza at 800 degrees if you like. I'll just use a common kitchen appliance to improve the flavor of my pizza.- red.november
Fio,Then I guess I could say "in the time you save [not] worrying about" getting your oven to 800 degrees, you could read an article on "molecular chemistry of extracted phenols." And there's nothing that says I'm kidding like an image of a thermometer reading 803 degrees. You're serious about having a really hot oven and I respect that. I'm serious about getting the most out of my seasonings. Don't cross the line with antagonistic remarks like "I can appreciate your love for the art, but PLEASE" as if using a microwave oven was something extreme in the culinary world. I couldn't have saved any time not worrying about MAE for the purpose of cooking; I already knew about it from a chemical engineering project I worked on about a year ago.- red.november

Once a major producer of textiles and clothing, Haiti's industrial base atrophied over years of insecurity, neglect, embargo and then suffered an additional setback with the January 2010 earthquake, but there are new signs of life and hope for the island nation. Preceded by the Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement (HOPE) Act that reenergized the apparel sector in 2006, Congress responded to the earthquake by improving U.S. market access for Haitian apparel exports. They did so by enacting new legislation called the Haitian Economic Lift Program (HELP). Thanks to this legislation and to aggressive marketing by the Government of Haiti and donor countries, foreign investors in the garment-manufacturing industry realize that Haiti's competitive advantage in terms of close proximity to the United States, coupled with a motivated and affordable labor force make it a very desirable place to do business.
Mark D'Sa, the State Department's Senior Advisor for Industrial Development in Haiti, spoke to over 50 graduate students studying for their Master's in Global Fashion, at a recent Fashion Institute of Technology conference in New York City. Speaking for years of experience at companies, such as Gap, Inc., as well as working in pre-earthquake Haiti as a source for apparel, Mr. D'sa painted a picture of a globally-focused industry that deals with environmental factors, volatility, fluctuating costs, and an increasing demand for low-cost, high-quality apparel. The students came from Paris, Hong Kong, and New York, and enthusiastically engaged Mr. D'Sa about his experience in the private sector, as well as an advocate for investing in Haiti.
Echoing newly-confirmed Haitian Prime Minister Gary Conille's primary goal of job creation in Haiti, Mr. D'Sa explained how the textile industry is already helping Haiti stand on its feet again. Construction of a new industrial park in the northern part of the country is slated to break ground in the coming month, and will initially create 20,000 jobs, and over three times that many in the following months and years. Garments for sale in the United States will be created in northern Haiti, heralding a return of large-scale textile production.
As Mr. D'Sa explained the vital importance of "enlightened self-interest" and corporate social responsibility in helping rebuild Haiti, he coupled that need with the tangible benefits that companies would enjoy if they invested in Haiti. The students lingered to ask questions of Mr. D'Sa and get his thoughts on their ideas on supply chain management and global social responsibility. As Haiti moves towards a stronger future, the international community, both public and private, joins in the determination to create jobs and strengthen the country's economy to provide a sustainable, improved life for all Haitians.

About the Author: Arturo Valenzuela serves as Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs.
Thank you to all the students and faculty who joined me on November 3, 2010, for the Digital Town Hall on U.S. policy in the Americas. I enjoyed chatting with you in person, through live stream webcasts, and via satellite in more than 19 countries across the Western Hemisphere. Alongside our Fulbright Student Exchanges, Youth Ambassadors, and binational centers, our youth engagement through media -- both new and traditional -- amplify our ongoing partnerships with countries in the region. Talking openly with one another about the issues that affect us all, and encouraging exchanges that help people know each other better, is vital to building mutual understanding.
During the event, I had the opportunity to listen and respond to you. I would like to share with you some of the answers I gave at the Town Hall:
Tomas Dutra Schmidt, a student at The George Washington University, asked the important question of whether Brazil should use more of its power regionally in South America. First, as it is the case with all sovereign countries, it is obviously a decision for the Brazilians to determine how they wish to conduct their own foreign policy toward the hemisphere. Certainly, Brazil continues to play a very constructive role in the Western Hemisphere, especially when it comes to things such as energy cooperation on biofuels, boundary disputes, or conflicts within countries. It is important for all of us to stand up and make it clear that when difficulties arise, we need to work together to resolve them peacefully. Brazil and other countries, along with Organization of American States and MERCOSUR, can play constructive roles in this respect.
In response to a question from a live audience member from Asuncion, Paraguay, I shared more about the new vision of U.S. foreign policy toward the MERCOSUR countries. No country wants to be any other country's backyard. We welcome MERCOSUR to build a better and more integrated economic system. It's good for those countries, and it's good for the United States. Overall, the United States wants to engage with countries throughout the region in a respectful fashion and to be a valued partner.
Regarding questions on development assistance in the Americas, I reiterated that commitment to greater opportunity for all requires us to address issues of the poor and groups that have traditionally been excluded from mainstream society, such as Afro-descendents and indigenous populations. These groups require more attention from governments and the international community to bring them into the mainstream of their societies, where they can bring significant contributions.
Thanks again for tuning in yesterday. If you did not get the chance to join us at the Digital Town Hall, you can watch the recorded event or read our tweets @WHAAsstSecty. You can also view photos of the event here.

Secretary valenzuela,
I understand you didn't have time to get to the question I submitted on YouTube on the international abduction of American children to countries in Latin America due to time constraints and more pressing issues, but could you still answer this question on this blog, YouTube or the FaceBook page? To clarify, the question, from your facebook page:
was, "Nearly 3/4 of all internationally abducted American children are taken to Latin American countries w/ a history of noncompliance w/ the Hague Child Abduction Convention. What is being done to prevent future abductions and recover abducted children?"
Out of the 22 questions submitted and 43 total votes cast it received 21 votes from parents of American children abducted to Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil and the Dominican Republic.

Have just started taking these as I have been feeling a bit tired lately and diet is a little low in iron ( not a big meat eater). I have had no negative side effects with this product and it seems to be having a subtle positive impact. Will continue to take and would buy again if I think I need to continue with an iron supplement. Im from Melbourne Australia

In light of the central role recently assigned to the lexicon in linguistic
theories, the colloquium aims at bringing together researchers from various
theoretical backgrounds who carry out investigations in the following areas:
- description and representation of lexical information (i.e. semantic,
syntactic, combinatorial);
- investigation of the properties of words and word classes from an
interface perspective (i.e. interrelation between semantic/aspectual
properties and syntactic behavior);
- elaboration of dynamic models of meaning representation, considering
the limits of the compositionality principle in semantics;
- identification of recurrent patterns of meaning/form relation in
world languages with reference to the organization of their lexicons
(i.e. ways of compacting semantic components in lexical items);
- description and representation of syntagmatic phenomena in the
lexicon (i.e. multiword expressions, collocations, light verb
constructions etc.);
- application of lexical models to the development of computational
tools (i.e. computational lexicons) for various purposes (i.e. language
learning, texts production, compilation of lexicographic sources etc.)
- extraction of lexical information from corpora.
The focus of the colloquium is both on the description and
representation of lexical information and on the principles and levels
of organization of entire lexicons. The purpose is to give an overall
view of the most recent acquisitions in these domains, discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of the various theoretical proposals, and
trace the most promising perspectives of study.

The Silicon Valley boom has busted. Everything in Santa Clara Valley is priced for those .com millionaires that got lucky back in the 90's. For the rest of us regular folks this area is ridiculously overpriced. With the .com bust even the once wealthy are now hurting. It's a nice place, great weather, culturally diverse, lots to do, but impossible to live in or afford to get out of for the little guy.

Living in San Jose California - 9/18/2015
Very diverse in culture and lots to do, and top to it off, the awesome weather especially in the Spring. The only negative, very high cost of living. [Comment on this Posting]
Living in San Jose - 3/3/2015
Excellent place for living.[Comment on this Posting]
Ridiculously Expensive - 2/15/2015
I have lived many places - Germany, Washington DC, Hawaii, Japan and now San Jose for the last 15 years. We are looking to move next year. Although the climate is wonderful, the cost to live here is the most expensive from all the places I have lived. A 2,000 SF home on a 6500 SF lot, in an good neighborhood will run you about $1.3 million. The house next door to us - 1,900 SF/3 bedroom 2 bath/ 2 car garage - just sold for $1.3 and it is not a nice house at all - termite damage, no air conditioning, outdated appliances - nothing redeeming about the property at all.
Traveling and living in many locations I tend to be outgoing and friendly, but people just aren't friendly here for some reason. Not sure why but so many complain of the same.
The climate is great - I cannot complain about that at all. One of the best in the world. Any anything grows here - as long as there is water that is! [Comment on this Posting]
this is and will never be a melting pot - 9/9/2014
San Jose is roughly 50 per cent Vietnamese and other asian. Thanks to all those assembly jobs that had to be done here in 2000 but are now done in Asia. It does not make a cohesive community. New immigrants are engrossed with getting settled, establishing ties within their nationality and families. After 30 years I now do not know my neighbor, no one will say hi on the street, my favorite market and restaurants are gone with all the finer local stores. It is not a good place to live. Don't ask about driving. Cheating is expected, especially when taking the written driving test.

Used to be called "The Valley of the Heart's Delig - 8/23/2014
Lived here since 1999 but will need to move. If one locked in housing costs by buying years ago, it is not so bad and one might be siting on a gold mine. We're lucky with a great long term rental that hasn't changed in 15 years but otherwise the housing costs could drive us out almost overnight or prevent moving in.
As many have noted, this is close to the ideal climate for most people. It gets hot at times in the summer but we don't have air conditioning - ceiling fans suffice. Winters are my favorite season with only rare frosts - I'd prefer MORE rain. Our backyard is just our outdoor room on our house and I spend a good deal of time there under a large tree. Orchards were the primary crop before industrialization - I have five fruit trees in the modest backyard.
Schools vary greatly and housing costs closely correlate with student scores. Negative indicators are apartment dwellers and Spanish speakers. The schools for my children have been a major disappointment and the house we live in is worth almost $1M.
Overall, the liberal political climate is ruining the state and the town. Illegal immigrants are flooding the area and taxes are too darn high. Our electricity is 50 cents a kW-hr, multiples of the national average due to our renewables policies. Crime varies over time and space. Our "nice" neighborhood had a rash of problems that can wax and wane. Try to stay well clear of Section 8 housing. One positive are the excellent FM radio stations within my reception range.
If we had bought a home when we first moved here in 1999, we still couldn't retire here. Otherwise, we've grown to enjoy San Jose and surrounding areas but financially, it will be impossible to stay.[Comment on this Posting]
UPdate - 1/5/2014
The statistics are out of date on San Jose. We have a majority of Hispanics and a minority of caucasians. Our crime rate the last two years (due to poor governing by the city fathers) has skyrocketed. The priorities of the city council do not favor the needs of the city and we're seeing the effects of poor management in the degeneration of our infrastructure, parks, police and fire services. The parks are disgusting! There's mass corruption in the governing body to the extent that some county and city officials are serving jail time. This is 2014. The character of the city is being replaced with plastic imitations of culture and housing. It's also getting very crowded.[Comment on this Posting]

Best of both worlds - Proximity to Natural Playgro - 6/24/2013
San Jose is one of the few places that offer a dozen weekend getaways within 1-3 hours that range from world class museums, hiking & biking state parks, visiting national parks, and gorgeous beaches. On a Saturday, you can drive to Santa Cruz beaches in the morning and by late afternoon be in Yosemite. [Comment on this Posting]
San Francisco Bay Area Climate - 6/18/2013
The temperate climate is what attracts people to the Bay Area. I've lived here for more than 60 years. I am about 50 miles from San Francisco bay. The marine layer keeps the entire Bay Area very cool, even during summer months. I have never required home air conditioning because the home is well insulated and never goes above 84 degrees indoors when the outside temperature is more than 95 degrees. In the evening when the fog is over the bay the cold air cools nearby counties. On rare occasions that cooling marine layer is absent, and that leads to noticeably hotter weather. But those days are rare.[Comment on this Posting]

Housing, Good Schools and Distance to work - 12/28/2012

San Jose Native Opinion - 12/3/2012
I've lived in San Jose for 35 years (& 4 in San Francisco). We are hoping to finally move out of state soon, if the job market allows. We were lucky to be able to buy a house here, but most native San Jose friends had to move away in the 90's.
Here's what I like about San Jose: Good police force (much of San Jose is safe & well-patrolled); Downtown area is cleaner than places like San Francisco; great restaurants & wide variety of stores; a lot to do if you like man-made entertainment (movies, trampolines, go-carts, water parks, amusement parks, etc); lots of paved bike trails; people are pretty liberal here; there is a lot of cultural & racial diversity; the hills around San Jose are pretty to hike in or drive through; summer, spring, & fall are nice seasons for weather; we have good libraries; we have Spanish Immersion public school (your kids can learn Spanish for free). A lot of attractive houses & safe neighborhoods/decent schools..unless you go into downtown, East San Jose, Alum Rock, Or Edenvale/Santa Teresa; there are more jobs here (but a LOT of competition.
Here's what I hate about San Jose: Rediculously crowded; a large percentage of people living here are not from California...no one remembers the way it used to be; middle-class here equals poor..you need to make +$150,000 a year for a family of 4 if you want to afford afterschool daycare & extracurricular activities; relatedly, the average family in much of San Jose have college degrees from Ivy League schools, which makes us SJSU grads have a harder time competing for jobs; College here is too expensive; elementary class sizes are +30 at all grade levels; Property taxes are insane here; everything costs much more here than in a place like Salinas or Bakersfield..because people here can afford it; there are crowds everywhere at most times of the day...hours of sitting in lines & traffic; you cannot eat any fish you catch from any of the lakes anywhere near here, wouldn't want to swim in them, & the campgrounds are all filled up all the time & over-crowded; it doesn't snow here, & people wish it would; People here are angry, rude, & impatient; teenagers use the f-word in place of, "uh," especially when your 9 year old is watching them; 14 year old girls here wear girdle-tight Daisy Duke shorts that are too short & expose their butt cheeks..you will need eye bleach. Any of the fun activities I listed in the above, "pro's" section will cost an arm & a leg, & there will be a crowd waiting in line; kids need to be accompanied by an adult for most activities, because it is a big city with a lot of creepy pedophiles; kids who are not supervised tend to act like they are Johnny Knocksville from, "Jackass," it's the San Jose teen culture..ie your property will be stolen off your porch, you will be blocked in the road by 16 teen boys playing, "bike party," in the lanes; your kids will think they're deprived because they don't get to have an iPhone, iTouch, laptop, & ski trips to Aspen..and a house with six bedrooms.[Comment on this Posting]
I am still in shocked with the high ratings of San - 10/8/2012
I grew up in san jose most of my life for over 20 years. Many women around me end up with cancer and both of my parents died before turning 60. This place is extremely polluted with water contamination run off from high tech companies. I remember the first day I drove out of the city and within 2 days my skin cleared up from all skin rashes and bumps. That's how dirty and contaminated the air and water pollution is. I moved away north of california for cooler cleaner air, water, and weather and to the mid US states just to see what it's like. By comparison, San Jose is over priced with the housing $300 for an old broken down home! you can get so much more for your money for only half the price of san jose. People in san jose are into themselves. It's an unfriendly place. Crime is serious here even around the Evergreen area new homes. Most homes have metal bars on their doors and windows. Half of my relatives have had home invasion robbery when they go on vacation. Both me and my spouse had drive by shooting in the Evergreen and Berryessa area. The schools are rated the lowest according to Great Schools. Just like every other day, there would be helicopter over our heads. Not sure what or who they are searching for...gang? drugs? who knows. Even though they force people to license their pets, I still see un neutered pitbulls roaming the street and could hurt little children. The weather is a bit too hot for my taste. Its a boring city with little entertainment or interesting things to do like SF or more north up california. We've been hit and run many times, not just once. A guy would side swipe us and just drove off without ever looking back. The drivers are insane. They often have "spare the air" days because the pollution is just so bad, many people become asthmatic. All of my health conditions went away after we moved out of San jose Bay area. The Marin county has the highest rate of breast cancer in the WORLD ! not just the US or the State. Not sure if it's the cost of living or something but people around san jose are very very money hungry. We've lived in the mid states and we can leave our shoes , cars, toys outdoor and nothing get stolen. If you live in san jose, they will steal everything! you would think such a wealthy area people don't rob but it's not true. Most women walk around with breast implants. People are really really fake and materialistic in a bad way. While the schools do not care about children. They constantly ask us for help to pay for papers, donation, soaps, tissues, etc. I wonder what happens to all the taxes they collected from all the wealthy high tech workers? Homeless people are every where, but I think that situation is common up and down california. Just about every other person is on some kind of anti depressant. I personally experienced a drive by shooting when I was in high school . The guy killed off several kids from our school. The positive things about san jose might be the weather. However, compared to the rest of the cities in this area, I don't think san jose is as cool as salinas, monterey santa cruz, etc. They have one discovery museum for kids which is very very tiny compared to the ones in other states we've been to. parking fees are crazy like $10. I remember living in the mid states, toysrus would leave their full set of thomas trains out for the children to play and no one would steal the toys. In san jose, no store is stupid enough to leave a thomas train set out. All the toys would be gone in a day if the merchants leave their merchandise out. People will steal everything even old shoes. totally creepy. Horrible community. Totally over priced, high crime, poor education, violent, crazy drivers, polluted, and unhealthy. Yes there are other good things such as diversity. San jose got many good foods and various ethnic groups such has hispanics and vietnamese population. 30% Asian and a ton of Hispanics. But there are diversity every where up and down california not just san jose. the homes are like boxes. you can literally jump from one roof to the next. [Comment on this Posting]

San Jose, Great climate, but.... - 8/20/2012
Places to visit
High prices[Comment on this Posting]
A small million dollar home - 7/27/2012
The cost of housing in San Jose is not that bad if:
1. You have parents who will gift you a million dollars.
2. You're an engineer working for a high tech firm.
3. Both you and your spouse earn executive level salaries.
4. You live with your parents.
Otherwise you're paying an exorbitant amount of money in rent or you live somewhere in the middle of the state and commute 2 hours to your job in San Jose.
For some, it might well be worth it.
It's beautiful out here.
The beach, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe are only a few hour's drive away.
Paradise has its price.[Comment on this Posting]
Not for me - 6/27/2012
I have lived in San Jose for about 7 years. Prior to living here I have lived in San Fran, San Mateo, Pacifica (which I really liked except for the fog), and other towns on the Peninsula.
The traffic in San Jose is terrible! That's a given anywhere around here. I live on the boarder of Los Gatos and it's not too bad. East San Jose...avoid!!! High crime zone. In general for this city, people (strangers) are not too friendly, not a community feel (except my street), and it's just a big mass of track homes with no character. People I think live here just to commute to Palo Alto, etc. This is the case for me and many I know. It's somewhat (ehh hmm) affordable compared to areas like Saratoga and Cupertino, although I would not buy a house here. Schools suck!
The good: It's close to Silicon Valley (peninsula area), HP Pavilion has great events, downtown is small but a nice feel.
Not my idea of good quality of life, for sure. I'm planning on moving soon, so that should tell you there how much I enjoy this city :)[Comment on this Posting]
San Jose California is where i was born and raised. I have live here for 44 years now.. I am leaving in the next couple of months. Every thing is out rageous, and i mean EVERYTHING!!! The graffity is getting way out of hand,, dosent matter where you live. I live in a very upscale area, and its so bad, they cant keep up. The paint all over the signs on the freeways, ha, any thing that dosent move, they spray it..
I look forward to getting out of California, and maybe a retun for SHORT VISITS[Comment on this Posting]

Home & Self Improvement Show opens
NEW ULM – The sweet smell of Kettle Corn and pecans cut the air outside the New Ulm Civic Center as the 33rd Annual Home & Self Improvement Show opened.
The Brainerd International Raceway (BIR) Performance Driving School exhibit was among the more popular stops at the show.
Driving school owner and director and past American Le Mans Panoz GTS Pro Series winner Gary Curtis displayed a race car and offered any licensed driver age 16 or older the opportunity to drive a race car of their own car on the BIR track. Complementary performance driving sessions are also offered.
Just inside the door to the south arena, New Ulm Battery members displayed their cannon and talked to people about joining the organization and their 2013 schedule that begins May 1 at the Minnesota State Capitol.
New Ulm Battery recruits must be older than age 18 or join with a parent, buy a uniform and appropriate shoes. They must be willing to make time commitments to take part in Civil War re-enactments, area parades, firing demonstrations, educational programs and much more. You'll learn to safely load and fire the Civil War era canon, care for and ride horses and learn the history of the Battery, artillery and Civil War. For more information, find the New Ulm Battery on Facebook.
The Brown County Humane Society seeks volunteers including high school and college students, homemakers, retirees, the temporarily unemployed and anyone who loves animals.
The Brown County Dairy Association offers free samples of several cheese flavors.
Volunteers are needed to walk dogs, clean dog and cat cages, do animal laundry, shelter cleaning and maintenance, work in the office, recruit new members and organize and help at fund-raisers.
The City of New Ulm's 5th Annual 2013 Big Tree Contest involves finding the largest Elm tree in the city limits and winning up to $200 towards planting a tree on the city-approved tree list, anywhere in the city, including your yard. Entry deadline is Monday, April 22, 2013.
The City of New Ulm encourages property owners to plant trees on their boulevards. If guidelines are followed, a reimbursement program assists property owners. A diseased tree removal program including stump grinding also exists. Call the Street Department at 359-8296 for more information.
The New Ulm Public Utilities booth displayed new LED, CFL and halogen light bulbs. The 10-year average cost is $40 for LED lights, $43 for CFL, $110 for halogen and $160 for incandescent bulbs. For more information, visit Lighting.MnCERTs.org
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Forestry Division distributed a Homeowner's Guide to Creating a Healthy Yard. The plant lists includes plants, shrubs and trees.
Other information available included a Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide to Radon, written by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. For more information, visit www.epa.gov/iaq
The free show continues 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Vintage kitchen table and chairs compliment your retro kitchen décor. Retro is back in business. You can easily find retro everything from retro clothing to retro house decorations. Who could say no to that 20s shabby chic kitchen, or 50s cool and sexy atmosphere. You can also go crazy and playful with 70s design.
Whether you choose the 20s, 50s, or 70s, you want to make sure that you don't mix it all up. There is furniture that will work for 20s kitchen style but won't work for decoration from another era. You can go eclectic by combining the style from one era with modern style. But you can't just grab any vintage stuff and put it all together. It will look odd and you will look like someone who doesn't put enough thought to your house.
There is a lot of furniture you should put your thoughts to when styling your kitchen. You can get new furniture and kitchen appliances, or if you want, you can put more effort to go through online sources, garage sales, or vintage stores to get vintage furniture. But the most important thing is that you pick the right counters, cabinets, shelves, islands, sinks, taps, dishes, decorative arts, light fixtures, and last but not least, the table and chairs. Here's some things you might want to know about retro décor and how to choose the right vintage table and chairs.
Lovely 1920s Kitchen Houses in the 1920s are usually painted white, so do the interior walls. So, get ready to include white to your kitchen décor color palette. Typical 1920s kitchen has white-colored appliances and furniture or comes with natural wood furniture. But the cabinets, counter, tables and chairs are made from wood. For shabby chic look, choose white cabinets, white appliances, white farmhouse sink, white backsplash, white table and chairs. Opt for glass-front cabinets to show off your favorite kitchenware. Show your guests how organized your dishes are, and they have that decorative effects to your kitchen too. Then combine all those white with another white vinyl flooring. If you think your kitchen have enough white, install wood panels to your floor. All that white looks extra sophisticated with wood flooring. You can add sky blue elements to get that Mediterranean vibe to your kitchen, or olive green to get that pop of color.
If you don't like shabby chic, you can try mahogany furniture with elm flooring. Imagine how expensive your kitchen will look with wood furniture complimenting an antique Aga stove, with a set of art deco vintage kitchen table and chairs. It will feel like you're living in a Great Gatsby world!
1950s Kitchen Decor Bring out your inner housewife in a 50s inspired retro kitchen. In the 1950s, kitchens are colorful and compacted. The idea is to make it easier for housewives to do daily activity. Stove, oven, counters, cabinets, carts, dining table and chairs, even washer and dryer are all compacted in one area. You can go from cooking to doing laundry in one step. Everything is placed within easy reach. Pack as many as storage drawers and cabinets as possible. Change the regular cabinet doors with the folding ones for room efficiency. This 50s compacted style is suitable if you have small space. But you can still apply 50s style to a broad big kitchen space.
You can start to add other element, which is metal, in a 50s inspired kitchen. Enameled steel cabinets with stainless counters will blend wonderfully with wood surfaces. Choose one vector color for your decorations. Then add a brick surface in one wall area to get a break from matching colored furniture throughout your kitchen. For the dining area, pick a set of vintage kitchen table and chairs that is made from a combination of chrome and vinyl. Turquoise, green, or red is just the right color for your chair cushions. Complete your 50s kitchen look with a retro refrigerator.
Groovy 1970s Kitchen Patterns! Throw patterns to everything to get a 70s retro style décor. Same as the 50s style, 70s style is colorful. So you want to pick colorful and patterned decorations for your kitchen. Choose vintage kitchen table and chairs that have colorful patterned applique. Choose bright colors for the walls and backsplash like green and yellow. But if you don't want too much color, you can get furniture and appliances in neutral colors. Then you decorate your kitchen with patterned vinyl flooring and bright-colored dishes and decorative arts. Those are pretty much what you need to know about retro kitchen interior design. Have fun decorating your kitchen with antique counters and vintage kitchen table and chairs!

About the Author: Christopher R. Hill serves as U.S. Ambassador to Iraq.
When the history books are written for Iraq, 2010 may be viewed as a truly landmark year. The year holds the promise of Iraq's first democratic transition following national elections in March. International oil companies are set to return for the first time in almost 40 years, a sign of new hope for Iraq's economy. Significantly, as democracy takes root in Iraq, the drawdown of the military means our diplomats and civilian experts will step forward across the country to preserve the remarkable gains our colleagues in uniform achieved with such courage and commitment. We will continue to work in lockstep with the military to advance U.S. interests and achieve a sovereign, stable, and self-reliant Iraq, as President Obama said.
The first milestone will be March 7, when Iraq will hold national elections that will produce a new parliament. After election day, formation of a new government will mark Iraq's first ever democratic transition. There will be challenges in the run-up to and aftermath of the election; to be sure, politics is a full contact sport in Iraq and electioneering is well underway amongst candidates jockeying for position. In this context, DRL and USAID have provided more than $200 million for comprehensive democracy-building programs, with a view to letting ballots, not bullets, decide the future of the next government.
The passage of the Election Law in December showed that newly confident Iraqi lawmakers could reach across party and sectarian lines to achieve a compromise to benefit the whole country. In fact, some surprise players emerged from both Shia and Sunni blocs to resolve very difficult issues, allowing the process to move forward. The deal marked a genuine advance for political openness in Iraq. That could bode well for the year ahead and create a valuable precedent of parliamentary compromise, even on the toughest issues.
Iraq's economy is also on the cusp of real transformation. In December, Iraq held a second oil bid round that was as transparent as the plexiglass box in which the bids were cast. Major oil companies fought for rights to develop some of Iraq's richest oil fields and in the end the majority of the fields were awarded for development, which could completely transform Iraq's economic development landscape – including by possibly creating tens of thousands of jobs for Iraqis. Progress will not be easy. It has been decades since international oil firms have operated in Iraq. That is why the Commerce Department's Commercial Law Development Program is advising the Iraqi government on best practices with respect to contracts, energy sector legislation and alternative dispute resolution, among other areas.
The southern region of Iraq is in an excellent position be the engine of this economic activity as oil companies start launching operations in the area. On my trip to Basra at the end of last year, members of the business community shared with me their vision of returning the city to a thriving hub in the region. Our Provincial Reconstruction Team in Basra and our civilian experts in the port of Umm Qasr are working daily with our military colleagues and local authorities to help lay the groundwork for sustainable growth. Beyond the south, my travels around the country last year drove home to me the invaluable work of our PRTs. In 2010, our experts in the fields of health, rule of law, agriculture and other areas will continue their yeoman work with the Iraqi people.
This will also be an exciting year for people-to-people exchanges, thanks to our vigorous public diplomacy engagement in Iraq. Our Fulbright Scholars program, with 70 students, is the largest in the Middle East. We are also launching a university linkage program that will provide technical and curriculum assistance to Iraqi institutions. And our English language education experts have fanned out across the country to provide training for teachers and administrators.
Finally, by the end of 2010 the complexion of the U.S. presence in Iraq will look quite different. More than half of our military colleagues will have departed. But that does not mean we will be any less hands-on in our approach. As Iraq builds its own security, its own democracy, its own prosperity, we civilians will be there every step of the way – as trainers, as advisers, as mentors. Together, we will help Iraq succeed.
MPetrelis in California writes:
I wish to call attention to the torture and murder of gay Iraqis, that was in the U.S. and foreign media last year, and of great concern to NGOs and gay activists. The U.S. needs to keep pressing this issue whenever possible.
To the degree that State can undertake a gay education program with the Iraqis, it must done under the rubric of human rights. Engaging govt leaders and humanitarian orgs on the need to condemn and investigate gay bashings and deaths is imperative.
There is no above-ground gay advocacy in Baghdad, but quiet networks of support for gay men do exist. Let's not forget about the many diverse human rights needs of the Iraqi people.

I will prepare old world recipes and give them a new twist, trying to make them a true culinary experience, combining the best from the traditional and contemporary cuisine. A perfect example of this is our signature "Nejo" Tamal, which is a tamal done with corn ash." Needless to say, I am intrigued!
Chef Alexander went on to explain "The event is a great opportunity for the guests, Chef Baltazar, myself and both hotels to build a relationship with the common love of good food. I am very excited and eager to start cooking and learning from what I am certain will be an amazing experience."
I share his excitement and look forward to all the delights both chefs will prepare for us!

Dastony Hazelnut Butter
Posted by Reviewer2678675 on Jan 25, 2014
Love this stuff! My new addiction. Wish it came in larger jars. I've always loved the taste of hazelnuts, and it's been hard to find hazelnut butter. Always before I've gotten the roasted kind, but this is better. Be prepared for its thin consistency, which is fine with me, but wouldn't work if you're planning to spread it in a thick layer like you could with almond or peanut butter.
Extremely smooth
Posted by 4929416243856968489 on Jan 29, 2014
Stone grinding makes this butter extremely smooth - and thin. Compared to almond butter, the mouthfeel is much less chalky. The hazelnut taste is quite intense, borderline bitter, probably because of ground skins, but acceptable if you spread it thin.
Runny consistency
Posted by 5530458417621484716 on Jul 29, 2015
The flavour is pleasant and fresh, but the consistency is unusually runny for a nut butter. I wonder if they mixed water into it. It runs even when I scoop it out with a spoon; let me not even try with a butter knife cos I don't get anything if I do! And when I put it on my rice cakes, it flows all over and makes a mess. I'd had good experiences with iHerb products thus far. It's not easy finding a hazelnut butter without chocolate and the flavour is fine. So I'd buy this again if the consistency was right.
Very.. oily?
Posted by 4655740252771212905 on Jan 04, 2016
Very creamy and very, very "oily", not what I am used to, maybe it´s normal in the U.S.? But it´s good, not that much taste though, maybe it´s because of the consistency?
waste of money
Posted by 4780123203450842923 on Sep 08, 2016
its very oily and it taste like oil not hazelnut, i will never buy this product again
Delicious enough to tempt
Posted by 5275592479105129619 on Aug 06, 2016
This was so good that I'm not sure I would buy again - ate it way too fast!!
Posted by 5241031409592753489 on Jun 19, 2016
wish the jar was twice as big
Best hazelnut butter!
Posted by MaryanaLishman on Aug 07, 2014
I am a HUGE fan of the Dastony brand, as well as stone ground nut butters in general. They're much smoother with a more intense flavour and for me, far more versatile. I add this to chocolate avocado mousse and it's quite frankly, incredible. It would also go well in smoothies etc. Seriously in love with it.
Posted by 5243703113936666713 on Sep 09, 2014
not very creamy but taste like the real thing (i.e. mashed up hazelnuts and not "creamy" unhealthy hydrogenated oils); it's best in smoothies or on biscuits. Probably great to bake with too, will try that next.
Posted by 5122422445630726389 on Sep 12, 2014
I ordered a few items and im in Australia I got my product in 4 days I was highly impressed with how fast it came from America I will definitely be ordering again soon from iherb.com ..some elf products next I think :) Thankyou for the great service Tastes thick and very much like hazelnut grounded in a thick yet smooth consistency im taking for extra biotin for heathy hair skin and nails I look forward to making pancakes too

BEIJING (AP) Andrey Moiseev of Russia won the men's Olympic modern pentathlon Thursday, outlasting a pair of Lithuanians to become the event's first back-to-back winner since 1956.
"I knew I performed very well, but I did not think I would get the gold medal before these Olympics started," Moiseev said.
He is the first modern pentathlete to repeat as Olympic champion since Lars Hall of Sweden in 1952 and 1956.
Moiseev led after the first four disciplines - shooting, fencing, swimming and equestrian - allowing him to start the 3,000-meter run 13 seconds ahead of the field.
Moiseev won by 21 seconds. Edvinas Krungolcas won the silver, and Andrejus Zadneprovskis took the bronze.
David Svoboda of the Czech Republic and Amro El Geziry of Egypt set Olympic modern pentathlon records in shooting and swimming. Svoboda earned 191 of a possible 200 points in the 10-meter air pistol, and El Geziry completed the 200-meter freestyle in 1 minute, 55.86 seconds.
They both dropped out of contention because of poor horse rides.
Moiseev's top discipline was epee fencing. He won 26 of 35 bouts.
He had the 15th-best horse ride - not great but good enough to keep him in contention.
"I've never been in any way sort of deterred by riding," Moiseev said. "I'm not afraid of horses, that's for sure."
