Skip to comments.CIA director David Petraeus quits over affair with biographer
Posted on 11/09/2012 3:12:43 PM PST by Berlin_Freeper
David Petraeus, the retired four-star general who led the U.S. military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, abruptly resigned Friday as director of the CIA after admitting he had an extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, according to a new report.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Not defending P but they held this till after the election because Bill Clinton was Obama's top surrogate and then they trashed P after the vote to get rid of him.
Ya think?
I'd like to think that this matters...but it's going just the way Obama wants. They held on to this until after the election and now they spin whatever the way they want. And after Clinton - who cares? And now the general will try to escape testifying.
I suspect Petraeus refused to be a scapegoat so they threatened and he at least had the decency to resign...but who knows.
I'm glad those who died in Benghazi don't know the aftermath.
Wow. He really took the title of his book "All In" to extremes.
Still don't know if Laz would hit it.
Was it a covert affair?
Not guilty by a country mile!
This will likely sell more books.
Book sales should be brisk.
Yikes, it says she was embedded with Petraeus
Man she's so hot she didn't even write the book herself!
Probably more appropriate to his intellect.
Love's a funny thing.
She's a cutie indeed. "We were interviewing and one thing led to another..."
Having a bunch of medals and badges doesnt necessarily mean
youve achieved anything, youve got to do something
beyond yourself to make a difference in life. Seek to be consequential in
whatever you do. ~Paula Broadwell
Tell that to his wife.
Yup....I like her looks. Feel bad for her family & kids though.
Sultry or not, she uses her vagina to get interviews. Another flucking fluke. And Betrayus, just another turd who floated to the top.
Is there some rule that says he can't testify after he has resigned?
"Yikes, it says she was embedded with Petraeus"
In more ways than one, apparently.
thee stupid beyotches and their whore parts
Makes sense, I always wondered how anyone with any integrity at all could accept an appointment in the Obama administration. Turns out he didn't have any. He was in a position where 300 million Americans needed to have trust in him, and it turns out the man's own wife can't trust him.
ANYONE who feels it necessary to tell you he/she is a hero....isn't.
I call your attention to john kerry, john mccain, and colin powell just for starters.
"While conducting research over the last three years, Paula Broadwell was afforded extensive access by Gen Petraeus.."
So that's what they call it nowadays..Dontcha just luv it?
Well, also, "Just The Tip" would have been a terrible title.
This explains alot,especially the silence. My goodness these freaks we have in the White House are as dirty as the Castro bros. They have dirt on people and make them perform. God please let the truth come out.
She graduated from West Point in 1995.
Yes, and the chief executive of Lockheed Martin has resigned under similar circumstances, an affair with a subordinate. He's being replaced by a woman. I bet that Obama appoints a woman to replace Petraeus, too.
Just looking at it you wouldn't know the power that resides in a vagina.
"While conducting research over the past three years, Broadwell was afforded extensive access by General Petraeus"
This from her website.
I would add that Gen. Petraeus apparently had "extensive access" to Ms. Broadwell.
she uses her vagina to get interviews@paulabroadwell @BrianCM12 @TMosera @BranceWaggoman @JFKJrForum @TeamRWB If you have the stage & "mike," why not use them to influence positive outcomes?!
All In: The Education of General David Petraeus (by Paula Broadwell)
January 23rd, 10:17am
Sounds like General Petraeus was afforded extensive access to Broadwell.
Her hubby is a good looking young doctor. I don't get it.
Bet ya she likes women too!
Had this came out before the election, IMO, we'd had a new president...
What? No one's commented on the name yet? What's wrong with you guys?

The funny Colombiana chose a strapless, body-hugging Roberto Cavalli dress with silver detailing and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.
The crop top and ball gown skirt combo perfectly framed the petite, Modern Family actress.
This Zuhair Murad glitzy dress was a timeless choice (along with those Forevermark Diamonds!) and a nice departure from the prison jumpsuit we're used to seeing her in on the Netflix hit series Orange is the New Black.
The Latina looked like a modern-day princess in her mint green ball gown.
The bright, coral Zac Posen gown complimented her sun-kissed skin and golden hair.
The Brazilian beauty didn't disappoint in her sleek, white Zuhair Murad with sheer cut-outs in all the right places.
The Voice judge and mom of three was radiant in a matching Swarovski crystal-covered Versace top and skirt.
The Emmys are usually a long gown affair, but only Roberts, with her bonafide acting cred, pulled off a fit and flare Elie Saab Haute Couture dress with a peplum waist.
The Masters of Sex actress hit every note in a striking black-and-white Donna Karan Atelier gown with cut-outs at the waist and Neil Lane jewelry.

Paul with the great thread save!

I still go with my original theory .. Sasuke and Naruto "fuse" together and create a real Rikudou reincarnate. As unnatural as that may sound. ONLY then Naruto should be able to awaken Rinnegan.
Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail, Claymore, Ao No Exorcist, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Gamaran, Toriko, Vinland Saga, Gantz, Wolf Guy, Deadman Wonderland, Vagabond, Blade of The Immortal, Battle Royale, Zettman
The result of the above will be the Ultimate SO6P, that can defeat Madara, even if a Rinnegan doesn't appear, although it would be hard to explain why it would not appear.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !

I'm not sure how exactly the Spiritual/Physical Energies interact. The Spirit-heavy Sharingan are very taxing for non-Uchiha, as only the Uchiha's bodies are in sync with the eyes. Therefore, it doesn't appear that the non-Uchiha "gain" spiritual energies from the transplant. However, it's been proven that Senju-level physical energies solve this problem. In fact, they actually enable the Senju to get better use of Sharingan than the Uchiha do, in some ways. For instance, Hashirama's chakra would enable Shisui's Mangekyou to use Kotoamatsukami more often, whereas Shisui could only perform the technique once in a decade. Also, Danzou was able to implement Hashirama's cells to power quite a few Sharingan; I doubt any Uchiha would have such stamina.
We know that non-Uchiha can still upgrade a transplanted Sharingan, as Kakashi attained the Mangekyou after gaining his. He lacks exceptional physical or spiritual energies, so the Mangekyou upgrade was not a result of some major increase in Spiritual Energies. However, I still believe that the upgrade to Rinnegan requires both types of energy, and someone like Hashirama or Naruto could easily supply the physical half. Thus, were Naruto or Hashirama to gain a very powerful Sharingan, there's a high probability that the Rinnegan upgrade would take place.
assuming that a sharingan is 100% needed to gain the rinnegan which would raise the question as to how the SO6P got it, if it is possible for him to gain it without the rinnegan then it is entirely possible for naruto to gain it as the possible heir of the SO6P.
also we know that naruto has exceptional physical energies, but what constitutes spiritual energies then? if we compare naruto and sasuke in terms of spiritual energy then there is really no difference, even without the kyubi is still equal to sasuke in this regard as i see it. the only reason why naruto hasnt developed the rinnegan, if you ask me, is because naruto needs achieve some sort of enlightenment b4 he will develop it, best bet is that it will happen during his fight with sasuke.
You're right that the Rikudou awakened the Rinnegan prior to the existence of the Sharingan, and was exceptional in both physical and spiritual powers. And if Naruto is the Rikudou's reincarnation (or something like it), then it's possible he'll awaken the Rinnegan, with or without a Sharingan. However, it seems to me that Naruto, being an Uzumaki descendant, should NOT have the Spiritual energies on his own; the Rikudou may be the parent of both the Senju/Uzumaki and the Uchiha, but he perfectly split his powers between the two, and the Senju/Uzumaki did not inherit any significant spiritual energies. To me, if Naruto gained such power without aid, it would somewhat cheapen the Uchiha Clan; they had to invent magical ninja cloning techniques to steal the power from the most powerful Senju just to upgrade their already magical Uchiha eyes, why should Naruto somehow gain magical eyes without any such effort?
We are, all of us, have been omitting an X-Factor.
Seeing as How Naruto Resembles more and more, the SO6P in his Kurama Mode, AND tying that to a Similar resemblance to Minato (Last Chapter, Kakashi called Naruto Sensei...), Could it then be possible that Naruto's Relation to Minato Namikaze might be an X-Factor that could propel Naruto forward in the Spiritual power side of things.
Minato as we know was a genius, a person who never did anything without a reason. A man of Obvious Mental/Spiritual power even though he had no Sharingan.
This is Just a thought.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
The problem with the unification of the bijuu into the Jyuubi, and Naruto becoming the jinchuuriki is... how likely will it be to have capable jinchuuriki one after the other to host the Jyuubi? Naruto would have to split them up all over again. Unless... that is what Kishi was implying when he wrote "in different names, and different forms"...
EDIT: I probably shouldn't say Kishi since we get a sometimes rough translation.

The Emery High boys track team, after having finished second the last few years, went to the region meet this year determined to win and they did exactly that, they won. Emery scored 99 points to Delta's 92 points. Juan Diego was third with 60 points, Carbon was fourth with 59 points and North Sanpete was fifth with 23 points.
North Sanpete's girls took the region title again with 107 points followed by Delta with 88 points, Juan Diego with 62 points, Emery next with 41 points and Carbon fifth with 35 points.
Coach Darrell Gardner on his team, "This group of boys got together last Monday and committed to doing whatever it took to win the region title this year. They plotted to score as many points as possible and all committed to running in any race that they could score points in."
Coach Gardner continued, "We were doing well in the meet but we really gained some momentum when Cort Jensen took second place in the 1600 meters. After Levi Swasey got hurt, Cort then stepped up in the medley relay in Levi's place and helped Emery place. Zac Clement also had a big day as he had his best effort of the season by placing in three events. Zac stepped up and threw the javelin 162 feet to grab first place and having been in the 140's all year. These guys just wanted the championship."
Tyler Killpack led the way with first place finishes in the 400m and the 800m, a fourth place finish in the 3200m and by anchoring the 4x400m relay team to a first place finish.
Zac Clement finished first in the javelin at 162'8" to win by 7 feet, second in the shot put and fourth in the discus. Mark DeFriez edged JT Noyes for first in the long jump by 2 inches as Emery took first and second. Kyle Johansen had his best jump of the year as he won the high jump with a jump of 6 feet.
Levi Swasey took first in the 110 hurdles and fifth in the 300 hurdles after injuring a knee in the race. Levi expects to be fine for the state meet. McKay Allred took first in the 300 hurdles. McKay also took third in the 3200m. Cort Jensen took second in the 1600m.
On the 4x400 relay team were Blake Jensen, Jake Gardner, McKay Allred and Tyler Killpack. On the 4x100 relay team that finished third were Vern Kofford, Jake Gardner, JT Noyes and Mark Defriez. On the Medley relay team that also finished third were Vern Kofford, Mark Defriez, Jake Gardner and Cort Jensen.
Leading the Spartan girl's track team was Nikki Rogers. Rogers took first in the 100m, second in the 200m, fifth in the long jump and anchored the 4x100m relay team to a second place finish. Also on the relay team were Lacey Montgomery, Tenison Fauver and Barbie Powell.
Madison Jensen finished second in the long jump and third in the high jump despite suffering from shin splints all day. Montgomery took fourth in the 800m and Rebekah Bott finished fourth in the 3200m.
Academic All-State was also announced. Region 8 took six of the 10 positions on that team with Emery grabbing three of those spots. Tamra Luke, Madison Jensen and Billie Jean Reed all made the team with a 4.0 grade point average.

A volunteer crew from Emery County Public Lands Department, Road Department, Historic Preservation Commission and Historical Society recently installed new interpretive signs at two locations in the Buckhorn Draw area. The signs provide information about the Morrison-Knudson Tunnels and are a culmination of several years of collaboration with United States Department of Defense, Bureau of Land Management, Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining, and Emery County. Sadly, some of the most dramatic, vertical sites have been backfilled and all of portals have been closed to access by the installation of steel grating. Emery County officials made every attempt to preserve the sites and allow access. Federal authority prevailed however, and closures were implemented according to BLM standards.
It is still possible to visually experience some of the remaining sites, and the new signs help visitors to understand the dramatic events which took place during the cold war era. The signs include history of the project and historic photographs of one of the larger explosions. Other features in the Buckhorn area are also included. The signing project was funded by DOD and Emery County Archives researched and compiled the information used in the signage.
August Public Lands meeting
The regular August meeting of the Emery County Public Lands Council began with agency reports. Wayne Ludington of the Bureau of Land Management reported on the MK tunnel project. He said the big tunnels have been filled and bat grates installed. He reported Karl Ivory from the BLM received a national award for his work on noxious weeds from the national boy scout organization along with Mesia Nyman and John Healy. There is also a possibility of an award coming from Washington DC for the boy scout project last summer which abated tamarisk in the Swell. Ludington reported a wild horse gathering on the Muddy and some of the horses gathered went to Delta. Some were in bad condition. Some will be placed back out there after they have been conditioned. Eighty head of burros were taken off last year and so the BLM won't be looking at burros for awhile.
Some of the mares may be treated to reduce production. The horses won't be put back right away because some of the areas are distressed from lack of water. Moisture in June did help the range for the horses. He also reported there have been some unauthorized releases of domestic horses in the west desert. This causes problems for the horses because they don't know where the watering holes are in a new area. Ludington said right now the Price office doesn't have a field manager and Roger Bankert is now at the State BLM office. Kathryn Lloyd is a new recreation manager for the BLM.
Sherrel Ward, lands council member wondered about the trail systems by Green River. Ludington said those routes were removed from the Resource Management Plan, but the BLM has plans to work on them. Right now the BLM is just waiting for the litigation to work out, before they go forward with those plans.
Councilmember Guy Webster expressed concern about the lack of maintenance on certain routes around Green River. Ludington said they will look into that. Webster said many of those roads are used in the big horn sheep hunts which are upcoming and they would appreciate a quick response in looking into maintenance of these roads.
Marc Stilson from the Division of Water Rights said there will be a meeting on Colorado River policy on Sept. 29 in Price from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and endangered fish and basic water rights will be discussed. A location is pending but most likely it will be at the Carbon County Events Center.
Dana Dean from the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining reported a MK tunnel meeting would be held to discuss the MK tunnels in regard to the new legislation which calls for the preservation of cold war sites. On Lila Canyon mine, they have crossed into the federal lease area. It will be up to one and a half years before coal will be mined.
Dean updated the council on the Bear Canyon mine bankruptcy. She said the court decided the sale of the mine to Hiawatha Coal company was fraudulent and the rights were turned over to the trustee, Kevin Rushton. His job is to maximize profits and pay creditors. The Hiawatha Coal Company maintains they are the rightful owners of the mine. A court hearing is slated for Sept. 10. The mine is currently under a cessation order from DOGM until the rightful owner is established. The trustee has some potential bids for the mining of the coal and Hiawatha Coal can bid on it. There was some question as to how another coal company could bid on the coal and how they would access the coal as all the surface rights belong to Hiawatha Coal Company. Dean said it would all be worked out in the court. Bear Canyon mine has installed a long wall and they were allowed to finish the panel they were mining, but haven't been allowed to further develop any panels.
A horizontal well was approved for Bill Barrett Company in Emery County. Dean asked everyone to take a customer service survey being conducted by DOGM to help them better serve their customers.
Bill Bates from the Division of Wildlife Resources said the trade lands for Range Creek lands for some Gordon Creek lands is in the comment period. Bates reported a successful retrieval of cutthroat eggs from Duck Fork Reservoir. The hunts should be good, the buck/doe ratio is good and there is no reason not to have an excellent hunt. The San Rafael River Restoration project is going well and tamarisk is being removed and waterways restored to a more natural state.
Bryan Torgerson from SITLA reported there won't be an October land sale for SITLA.
Donna Sackett from Sen. Bennett's office reported the Senator is trying something new and is on YouTube and he addresses what's going on in the Senate and tells where he stands on key issues. Representatives from Sen. Hatch reported that Sen. Hatch is involved with tax incentives for the development of natural gas vehicles. If you have a natural gas vehicle it is hard to find places to fuel up. This legislation provides tax incentives for those who already deal in natural gas to develop more fueling locations. The Secretary of the Interior ended all uranium mining on the Arizona strip. Forty percent of the reserves are on that strip. Sen. Hatch wrote him a letter reminding him that sources of uranium are needed for nuclear power and other uses and that cutting off this source for uranium is harmful to energy development. Sen. Hatch reminded Sec. Salazar that green power, solar and wind has no base load capacity and that nuclear is best for base load. Alternatives are needed for carbon energy, but shutting down the development of uranium sources is foolish.
The council wondered what the possibilities are for a community like Green River to get natural gas. Mike McCandless, Emery County Economic Development director said they are working on a bill right now which includes Green River, Kanab, Emery and Wayne County to bring natural gas to those communities. Sen. Hatch voted no on Judge Sotomayer and no on health care reform and will be introducing a bill of his own on health care.
Randall Stilson, council member said with the upcoming hunts that ATV riders need to be responsible and stay on the trails.
Councilmember, Mistie Christiansen wants the public lands council to get out information about what they are doing in regards to a land use bill and put it on the website. She feels much misinformation is out there.
Ward said he feels the watershed is a big issue and maintaining water sheds. Added money is needed for enforcement. Council chairman Bruce Wilson said the forest service needs more money in their budget so they can manage the land properly.
The next lands council meeting is Sept. 1 at 10 a.m. with a work meeting at 9 a.m.
Editor's note: On the Bear Canyon Mine court hearing, some reports say the date has been postponed.

San Rafael Junior High held their annual closing program on May 17. The ninth grade class was honored as they prepare to move onto Emery High School in the fall.
Principal Doug Mecham welcomed parents, students and faculty to the program.
The ninth grade students were introduced at the beginning of the program and they performed a dance in small groups to the theme song, "Hall of Fame."
Derek Anderson, ninth grade class president welcomed the audience.
Cheyanne Winn presented Stacey Jewkes with a gift for her time she has put in as the San Rafael drill/cheer advisor over the years. This will be her last year at the school. She has also helped as a substitute teacher and taught the dance for the closing program.
Honor student Jason Roberts thanked his parents for the influence they have been on him and his education. He has even spent time practicing during the summer. His parents thought he might blossom into his sister, Rachel, but trying to live up to her was a very high standard. He has stayed up late at night working on projects and it hasn't been easy, but friends and parents have made it easier. Education should teach students not only how to make a living, but to make a life.
Jessica Olsen, honor student, said having a positive attitude is very important. A good attitude affects your grades and improves any project. If you maintain a good attitude in class your grades will improve, a negative attitude will get you negative results. Be happy, sing in the shower, no one can have a bad attitude while singing in the shower. Don't complain. Say thank you. Eat your food. Try new things. Friends and family can help you to have a positive attitude. "My friends have made these three years at San Rafael fun. Thanks to everyone who has made these three years great," said Olsen.
Landon Barnett sang a solo called, "The time of my life," composed by David Cook.
Devin Willson, honor student, said they are on a path with many open doors. The door to Emery High is now open and the ninth grade class will enter there next fall. In the book Alice in Wonderland, she wonders which path to take; "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to." "I don't much care where" "Then it doesn't matter which way you go."
You need to set goals so you know which path to take. All of the great painters, painted a lot. Practice makes perfect. Set goals to get straight As. It may be hard, but set your goals high. Willson told how he joined the swim team, his goal was to do better each time he swam the back stroke. He said eight time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps said if you want something bad enough you have to do what it takes to get there. Shoot for the stars.
Camrey Johnson, honor student, said people told her that speaking at the closing program wasn't meant to be a punishment, she said, "It's torture."
Her topic was how sports have helped her academic performance. "Athletics are a huge part of my life. Sports are time consuming. I knew if I was going to be gone for an athletic competition I would get my work ahead of time. I missed school a lot. It was a huge motivator. I couldn't have done it alone. The teachers let me make up the work. The coaches were always thinking about school. My parents helped me with my homework. Sports have helped me a lot. It taught me determination and teamwork. It's all helped me to better myself. My friends have been fun and interesting. Thanks to all those who have helped me get through my junior high years," said Johnson.
The ninth grade chorus students sang, "Send down the rain," accompanied by Derek Anderson.
Kannon Toomer, honor student, said, "Be the best you can be. Michael Jordan said that he failed a lot and that failing helped him to succeed. Take small steps. Take risks. Don't be afraid to try new things. If you want to be happy, do things that make you happy. Learn from others, your parents, teachers and coaches. Some people want it to happen, some people wish it to happen, and some people make it happen. I want to be the best me I can be."
Braydon Roberts, honor student, said he is basically a nerd, one of the teachers' kids and he has an obsession with Bailey. He said education is very powerful. He spent three long years at San Rafael with his mother there. He has been micro-managed daily. He is looking forward to the challenges that await at Emery High. Taking his education seriously has enabled him to keep a 4.0 which he hopes to continue into high school. One quote he likes is, learn from yesterday, hope for tomorrow and live for today. Even the smallest person can change the course of their future. Roberts has learned from the many experiences he's had at San Rafael. Being in Honor Society, math club, going to BYU and the playhouse, quiz bowl, battle of the brains and more. A child without an education is like a bird without wings. I believe I can fly. Our open door is now Emery High. Education is training the mind to think. Thanks to the staff of San Rafael for training us for our future.
Principal Mecham thanked the students and the faculty. "This faculty is a great group of people that take their job seriously."
Principal Mecham said a quote he found interesting is by Robert Straus who said, "It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired, you quit when the gorilla's tired."
"Sometimes it's hard to spark a student. How many programs, late nights, games, etc. have we been to. Don't quit when you're tired. Learning is a life long eternal progression. Always learn and grow. Students always learn. Winston Churchill said as his country struggled during World War II, never, never, never give up. Parents and teachers never give up on the students and students never give up on yourself. You have huge potential. We are proud of you," said Mecham.
After the program the school held a dance.

St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 10:5-12
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode.
Psalm 63.11,1
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord.
Verse: Oh God, hear my cry.
BRETHREN, God was not pleased with most of the fathers; for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things are warnings for us, not to desire evil as they did. Do not be idolators as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to dance." We must not indulge in immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer. Now these things happened to them as a warning, but they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come. Therefore let any one who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

My First Comic-Con!
posted on July 29th, 2011
So, I've heard about the legendary San Diego Comic-Con for years - the massive convention center, the crowds of costumed fans, the lengthy autograph lines and sold-out panels - but had never before participated. I guess I just haven't been involved enough in the comic book/cartoon/sci-fi genre... until now!
My qualifying show this year? I play the voice of the green-skinned alien Miss Martian on Cartoon Network's Young Justice, and Warner Brothers was kind enough to invite me to speak on the Young Justice panel along with the show's producers (Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti), and the art director (Phil Bourassa).
I love doing this cartoon. The show's creators are top notch, and my character is awesome. Like most of the characters on the show, she's dealing with two very different but coexisting aspects of her life: she's a kickass superhero and an insecure teenager, all at the same time. And a chance to speak on a panel about it to a whole bunch of Young Justice fans? Fantastic!
So, I accepted Warner Brothers' invitation, and we packed up the baby and headed to San Diego. Bringing a baby to Comic-Con didn't seem too popular an idea, though, considering the fact that the hotel (which of course was totally sold out for months) had a waiting list for rollaway beds and microwaves, but plenty of cribs to spare.
We arrived Saturday evening after driving down that afternoon (took forever but Draco had a 3.5 hour nap!) and then hanging at my dad's house for dinner and badminton.
We checked into the hotel around 8pm. There was so much activity, so much excitement in the hotel, and I'm happy to say that having our baby didn't totally keep us from enjoying the festivities. See, there was live music playing downstairs outside and a fireworks show out the window, over the marina! So we sat there upstairs in our hotel room overlooking the marina, me nursing our baby to sleep, listening to the fun cover band and watching the fireworks... and thinking that life ain't so bad sometimes.
The next morning, my panel started at 10am by showing our newest episode, "Targets," and it was awesome to see it on big screen. The audience loved it! There were tons of different costumes in the audience, but it was especially fun for me to look out and see the Miss Martians with full-on costumes, green faces and red hair. Two of them even made us cookies! (Something my character loves to do). Greg, one of the show's producers, happily ate some. I didn't - both because I'm still watching what I eat extra carefully because of breastfeeding, and also because, um, the cookies came from a stranger... a possibly overzealous one at that. I was suuuure they weren't poison. Okay, but not that sure. (Happily, Greg seemed fine.)
The Q&A session was fun, and too short. So many fans had lined up and I felt badly that most of them didn't get their questions answered!
After the panel, I joined the producers and art director once again for a poster signing, followed by some press. Here's one of the articles resulting from the press room. My husband Mike, Draco and I didn't spend much time there, once my participation was through. Apparently 10-month olds don't much like crowds of people wearing face paint and masks. In fact, these things make some 10 months olds cry (a lot). Who knew?
All in all, a great experience. I wished could have stayed longer, but there's always next year!

MTS Super Spike celebrates 10th anniversary July 15-16
Winnipeg – The Team Canada Women's Volleyball Centre helped announce today that the popular 'MTS Super-Spike presented by Bud Light', will be taking place July 15 & 16 at Maple Grove Rugby Park celebrating it's ten year anniversary.

About Me Practical
The Apple standard iPad 2 covers are just ok, in my opinion. I used this one for approx 2 months. I later, just today in fact, opted for a Belkin model that encloses the entire unit and has a better prop. But the Belkin model I have does not activate the 'unit off when lid closes' feature. So I must turn the unit off myself. I think [$]is too much for a cover shield also.

By: EUROPEAN PLASTICS NEWS
May 9, 2013
BRUSSELS — Belgian plastics association Federplast.be, environmental groups and the Belgian-Dutch association of coastal communities have signed a resolution to stop the dumping of plastics waste in the North Sea and other rivers and seas.
According to the resolution, the North Sea receives 20,000 tons of plastic waste each year, costing Belgium and the Netherlands 10 million euros. The large pieces of plastic are dangerous for sea mammals and turtles, smaller pieces pose a threat to seabirds and some materials degrade into micro plastics, which are eaten by fish, plankton and crustaceans.
The resolution points out that banning plastics is not the solution and instead calls for more responsible use.
"Take plastics out of a pacemaker, a prosthesis, an intravenous drop or other medical applications and we are years going back in time," it says. "Plastics also have their merits and are as such not a problem."
The resolution is also calling for the authorities to work towards stopping further pollution and cleaning up waste at sea.
"That everybody carries responsibility is clear: 50 percent of the waste comes from ships, 50 percent of the waste is coming from onshore," says the document.
New sources of pollution should also be prevented, it adds.
The organizations that signed the resolution have asked for the following actions:

Flames Fan Ask - September 28, 2013
Kent Wilson
September 28 2013 10:26AM
We rounded up a few more fan ask questoins via Ask FM this week. Watch for the call-out on twitter around Thursday or Friday of every week if you have something you'd like FN writers to talk about. Alternatively, you can email me (firstname.lastname@example.com). This week we look at Burke's future, share some observations on Kris Russel and discuss a potential rule change
1.) Do you think Brian Burke will be our full time GM at some point?
I think it's a distinct possibility. During rebuilds, a lot of bodies tend to fall along the way, especially if they get long or messy. Just look up north and count how many coaching and executive changes the Oilers have made since Kevin Lowe ran the good ship Oilers agroundsome some 7 odd-years ago.
If Feaster can conduct a quick turn around, he'll be fine. If this thing gets ugly and the masses start assembling pitchforks, he'll be one of the first guys torn down to appease them. In that case, Burke likely takes over.
2.) What are your thoughts on Kris Russell?
I haven't seen him much this pre-season, but based on his career so far he's not a really compelling player. Russell's results since he broke into the league are consistently mediocre, both from an underlying and counting numbers perspective. He's a guy who seems like he could be another "Dan Boyle" type of defender: undersized, but strong enough offesensively to be a difference maker. He's never made that leap though.
In terms of scouting, so far I like Russell's mobility, but he seems to get pushed around and overwhelmed in his own end a lot. He strikes me as a guy who could probably work on the third pairing in an ideal situation.
3.) When will the NHL implement a rule punishing players for carelessly/ on purpose kicking their skate up in the air as they are going down after a hit? Some player will get seriously hurt by this! A player should be held responsible for damage their skate does, just like their stick, don't you think?
The NHL's issue when it comes to this sort of discipline isn't implementing rules, it's enforcing them. Slashing another player with a skate could easily fall under some of the exisiting ordinance (roughing, intent to injure, etc.), but the league tends to struggle to apply consistent discipline, particularly when mens rea (intention) is involved. Aside from acts like McSorley on Brashear and Bertuzzi on Moore, it's often very difficult to prove intent on the part of the accused in hockey.
4.) To date, how would you compare Monahan to the other top picks?
If you mean from his draft class, we don't have enough information. If you mean from other, recent drafts....we don't have enough information. Sean Monahan hasn't played a single regular season NHL game yet. We have no real idea how good he'll be.
From what we've seen, Monahan looks like the guy who was described in every scouting report we read though - a smart, savvy center who plays a highly developed game for his age. There are similarly glowing reports about most of the kids picked at the top of the rotation this years as well - Seth Jones is going to make the Preds out of camp. Ditto Jonathan Drouin, Aleksandr Barkov and Nathan MacKinnon in their respective markets. Valery Nichuskin is piling up highlight reel goals in Dallas, Darnell Nurse was outstanding in Edmonton and Elias Lindholm is forcing the Hurricanes to consider holding onto him. Heck, Hunter SHinkaruk and Bo Horvat are going to get at least 9 games in Vancouver to start the year as well.
The 2013 draft was considered one of the most talent dense in recent memory and the early returns seem to be justifying those projections. That said, it will take a least 3 years before we can really start comparing these kids.
5.) Realistically speaking when will the flames be competitive again?
At best, the Flames may start worrying other clubs again in three seasons. Realistically, it will probably take five before they are anything more than plucky basement dwellers. The rebuild can be hastened by a kid or two exceeding expectations or the club pulling a miracle trade, but those are long-shots.
6.) What is the scope (sic) on Hudler, I have not noticed him much this preseason?
I'll assume you meant "scoop". Hudler has been injured for almost the entire preseason, so he hasn't had much of a chance to make an impression.
Of course, Hudler is a completely known commodity so it's not like the exhibition round was going to change anything. A capable middle rotation 40-45 point guy, Hulder probably isn't in the long-term plans of the team at this point. My guess is he'd like to get out and move to a contender sooner rather than later, but for that to happen he'll have to play hard and demonstrate his worth to pontential trade partners while the club finds its way.
With three seasons left $4M per year, he may have to play out at least 2013-14 before he garners significant interest around the league.
7. Last year and the year before Floob had #GOBLAIRJONES and hi Brust Army. With Brust gone and GoBlairJones likely to be stuck in Abby all year.. whose should Floob's new awesome Flame be? (No Matty Franchise is not acceptable as answer)?
I will let BofL answer that in the comments.

@The Last Big Bear
"2) Kris Russel is a significant downgrade from Ian White. Probably a downgrade from Anton Babchuk."
Um... No. I don't think there's any such thing as a downgrade from Babchuk. More to the point, Butler is better than Babchuk, and Russell is better than Butler. Seems pretty clear-cut to me.
I enjoy a dose of good trivia, such as this found on the net today:
"When Finn Miikka Kiprusoff made his Flames debut in November 2003, he was a relatively unknown 27-year-old with 47 games worth of NHL experience. When relatively unknown Finn Karri Ramo mans Calgary's crease for the first time, he'll be 27 with 48 NHL contests under his belt."
September 28 2013, 11:53AM
I'm gonna be cheering for SOB. Because no one else will be.
I'm fine with Monahan staying as long as the decision prioritizes his future ceiling above all else. I don't know enough about player development to say if playing in the NHL at age 18 is the best thing for him. I'm not sure anyone does, but I'll admit Flames staff probably know more than me.
I also hope Monahan never runs into any disciplinary trouble with the league, just so we can avoid headlines like, "Shannahan bans Sean Monahan!". (Say that out loud five times fast!)
September 28 2013, 10:35AM
Well first off, I'm going to spend a lot of time ragging on Brian McGrattan, because obviously we have to.
Blair Jones will still be a favourite, even if it is in Abby all year (hey, it worked out that way last season as well), and the Brussian Army will never die.
As for this season, I don't have anyone tapped yet, but someone should emerge as a contender pretty quick. Early contenders are Dennis Wideman, Kris Russell (they've been great together in the offensive zone in the preseason), and hey Sven always has a shot. I wouldn't even be surprised if Monahan becomes the guy if he sticks around (though he shouldn't)
I'll tell you what though, I'll be looking hard at Lance Bouma to be my new Blair Jones. Lot of hashtag potential there.
And also, it's too early, but I've developed a fondness for Tim Harrison, because I don't think he exists, and that is a gold mine for me.
September 28 2013, 11:51AM
You're welcome, Floob.
I enjoy a dose of good trivia, such as this found on the net today:
"When Finn Miikka Kiprusoff made his Flames debut in November 2003, he was a relatively unknown 27-year-old with 47 games worth of NHL experience. When relatively unknown Finn Karri Ramo mans Calgary's crease for the first time, he'll be 27 with 48 NHL contests under his belt."
So what you're saying is the Flames are going to the Final this year? I like your thinking!
September 28 2013, 12:29PM
Oh, don't get me wrong, if that nine game tryout goes by and Monahan is still on the team, I'm fully on the bandwagon. I think the kid is good enough to play there now, I just don't think it's good asset management for him to be there this year.
But if he is, I'm #TeamSeanahan
I think if he's ready, he's ready. If the benefits of him going back to jr outweigh the benefits of him staying, send him down. Seems pretty straight forward.
With all due respect, I think it's bad asset management to bury a future impact center in junior because you don't want to pay him until you absolutely have to. If, in three years he's one of the top 10 centers in the league, open up the vault and give him what he's worth.

Say it with me everyone
September 28 2013, 09:21PM
I really can't wait till the Monahan NHL vs. Junior debate is over. Of course I'll be the first guy on the bandwagon, if he makes the team. Until then I'll keep upsetting the legions of FN fans and hope he gets sent down..

Flames get Joe Colborne from Toronto for 4th round pick.
September 28 2013, 11:09PM
Hard not to like the Colborne deal.
September 28 2013, 11:29AM
Oh, don't get me wrong, if that nine game tryout goes by and Monahan is still on the team, I'm fully on the bandwagon. I think the kid is good enough to play there now, I just don't think it's good asset management for him to be there this year.
But if he is, I'm #TeamSeanahan
September 28 2013, 04:29PM
Agree 100% (except for Shanahan/Monahan headlines - those would be incredible.) If the team bases the decision entirely on Monahan's future, then he can play in outerspace for all I care. The decision becomes suspect though, if you think the he'll be generating new revenue or conveniently diverting headlines from a flailing management team - not that I do necessarily, but motives should be questioned.
September 28 2013, 07:55PM
1) God I hope Burke becomes the GM soon. Feaster is very nearly as bad as this blog makes him out to be.
2) Kris Russel is a significant downgrade from Ian White. Probably a downgrade from Anton Babchuk.
3) Your question inspired me to re-watch the Clint Malarchuk video. Awesome.
4) Monahan's hair has the most Dragonball-Z power of any first rounder this season. And he's improved dramatically, he looks at good against mostly-NHLers in the pre-season as he did against mostly-CHLers in the rookie tournament.
5) 2016-17.
6) Hudler is a relatively skilled and soft middle-6 scoring winger. He can put up 25-ish goals in the NHL (and also did very well in the KHL). He makes about 25% more money than he's worth, because Jay Feaster (see Question 1). He should be on the auction block, but he's unlikely to generate much interest.
7) Karri Ramo for UN Secretary General.
September 28 2013, 10:57AM
LOLOLOL! You know you secretly are cheering inside your gut for Monahan to make it @BoL
Joe Colborne for a fourth, saw that coming a mile away.

Virgin Blue Gets Down To Business By Announcing More Flights For Tasmania21/10/2004
Virgin Blue is continuing its campaign to offer more direct low fare options, today confirming plans to launch additional flights between Hobart–Sydney, Hobart-Melbourne and Launceston-Melbourne just in time for the peak travel period to and from Tasmania.
Just three months after starting flights between Hobart and Sydney an extra daily service will be added to the schedule commencing 5 December 2004.
The new flight will appeal to both business and leisure travellers who will now be able to make a day return trip between the two capital ports taking advantage of the early morning service from Hobart to Sydney and evening southbound return. It further compliments the existing Virgin Blue flight which departs Sydney mid-morning and returns from Hobart at lunchtime, ideal for the leisure travel market.
Chief Commercial Officer, Stefan Pichler, said, "The people of Tasmania have been loyal and supportive of Virgin Blue from day one and we are staunchly committed to making sure we continue to listen to the needs of both business and leisure travellers. It's been made clear to us that Tasmanian based business Guests want more options and are prepared to get behind the airline that gives them not only low fares, but also true and committed customer service. We take Tasmania seriously and these additional flights are indicative of our confidence in this market."
He continued, "The new flight simply allows corporate travellers to get to Sydney, do their business and then get home again to sleep in their own bed which saves both money and time. For leisure Guests, it's yet another flight option to choose from which is all about convenience and choice."
Guests will also be able to take advantage of additional connections to Cairns, Coffs Harbour, the Gold Coast and Townsville via Sydney to compliment connections already available via Virgin Blue's other direct services to both Brisbane & Melbourne.
In addition to the doubling of service on Hobart-Sydney, the airline will also add a fifth daily service on selected days between Melbourne and Hobart for Tasmania's peak travel period. The new service will operate on Thursday, Friday and Sunday providing a late evening travel option between 4 November 2004 and 26 March 2005.
As well as the increase in capacity to and from Hobart and following strong support from travellers, Virgin Blue will also offer a fourth weekday service between Launceston and Melbourne effective 1 November 2004. This follows continued strong support from travellers in both cities following a successful trial of a fourth frequency in September and October.
The additional flight means that in less than six months the low fare airline has gone from two to five services Monday to Friday ex-Launceston, serving Melbourne four times each weekday and Sydney daily.
The revised schedule includes (* denotes new service):
Everyday low fares start from $99^ one way on the net
Everyday low fares start from $69^ one way on the net
Everyday low fares start from $69^ one way on the net
^ All fares are for flights booked on the Internet. $10 more by phone. Fares are subject to availability and may not be available on all flights or peak days.

I put together all the cute pictures that the kids at the birthday bash decorated and pinned it up like on a bulletin board. One of them is Winkie's. Can you guess which one? A special prize awaits for the first person to comment with the right choice! :)
Also, there's a little birthday tune playing. So if you're at work, you might want to turn down the volume. As for a little message for my newborn toddler...I am hoping to put it up by 11:32 AM tomorrow morning...the exact moment of his birth. Let us see how well I am able to execute that!
For now, its goodbye and goodnight!

NHTSA — Electrical System Problems
2005 Ford Escape (Page 1 of 7)
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005 Escape has problems where the engine shuts down while driving. Ford finally issued a September 2014 recall. Time will tell if the recall fix really solves the problem.
However the 2005 Escape also has a defect where the PCM (Power Control Module) fries at around 100k miles. Ford extended the PCM warranty to 80,000 miles, but only after most owners were past the mileage limit. Now owners are on the hook for the average repair cost of over $2,000 (!!)

It's an inevitable truth that our clothing speaks millions and tells a story about who we are. And in my opinion, there isn't one article of clothing that depicts that story more perfectly than a pair of jeans. Jeans are something that always, always transcend passing trends. And what's even better about them is that they offer diversity and become the person. From the stains that take us back to the many fun times in our lives, to the tears that bring up those most embarrassing moments, these different characteristics add to their integrity and in turn are a reflection of our identity.
This is exactly the story that high-end street brand, Topman, is using at the heart of their new online campaign, showcasing their new Autumn/Winter denim range. Enlisted to bring this universal story to life is young up-and-coming Photographer and film Director Laurence Ellis.
[Writers note: Ellis also shot Topman's S/S2010 campaign, Indigo Farm; www.laurenceellis.com]
Instead of producing what has come to be the expected denim ad campaign with actors and models in unbuttoned jeans and lots of baby oil, Ellis has opted for something rather — dare I say — innovative. Besides, two out of three isn't too bad, right? The campaign will consist of three short films focusing on three different young men — Louis, Henry, and Sid — and the journeys they take. Their individual experiences and stylistic perspective is the highlight all tied in, of course, through denim.
Topman.com will house all the films due to launch Monday October 4th, 2010. Behind the scenes footage, interviews with the cast and Ellis will also be available to view. An interactive "Denim Room" has been added to showcase all the different styles and fits including those in the films.

Comedy Bitch: Them Is Us
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2010
Comedy Bitch return, following their smash hit 2009 sell-out run.
Older Comments
Simon Lewis - 28/08/2010
What an unnecessarily personal and poor review. Not every sketch worked, but it was relief to see a group stretching boundaries and doing something different for a change.
Rosemary Macmonagle - 26/08/2010
This is one of the best hours of my life,the genius of comedy,my sides still ache and all my friends here with me in Edinburgh also agree>Comedy Bitch is excellent,talented and very funny.I wanted more,they the best I have seen! 5 stars from me !
billyh - 26/08/2010
Agree with other posters. The point of some of the skits was confusion. Do we really need a predictable punchline for everything? I thought the husband and wife writing a play about each other was genius. Just because there's no build-up then pay off like most comedy doesn't mean it doesn't have its merits. Indeed, to move away from the norm takes some skill in itself. While maybe not being a 5, this show is far more original than most stand-up and theatre. To review the reviewer, she seems conservative and myopic. 2.5/5.
Claire Robertson - 25/08/2010
I thought they were really good actually. Saw them last year aswell, and they were brilliant. There were some ones i didn't understand like the Macdonalds one, and i didn't find the dogboy one funny but that might be my age. Everyone else was laughing and loving it. I actually loved the Eastenders one, and the girl having the voice over argurment and the party in the pants one was really funny. I think they are a very talented group, and their show was one of the best Ive seen here.
Morven Sutherland - 25/08/2010
I personally loved this show. I saw these guys last year and loved them and was excited to see them again this year. I have sent several friends to see it since and everyone who I have sent to see it appears to have recommended it to someone else to see... surely this being the ultimate testament to the entertainment value of any show?? This review is absolute nonsense to me and having previously respected the judgement of chortle, I have clearly been mistaken and wonder what other little diamonds of comedy I may have missed out on as a result. Boo to you Corry Shaw.
Jennifer Pridding - 24/08/2010
I too feel that this is a very aggressive, unfair and damaging review to a sketch group who have the imagination and audacity to try and avoid the painfully obvious. I agree, the EastEnders sketch isn't very good but to say that the guys can't even perform is insulting. The group, whom I saw twice have excellent comic timing, have gelled exceptionally well together and although there may be no obvious punch lines to their sketches you should be more open to the originality and creativity they clearly possess. The Knightrider sketch is genius as is 'friends for you' and 'dogboy'. Dark, original comedy. Comedy Bitch are well worth the ten pounds I paid and I would put money on them becoming a success in the future.
Sarah Andrews - 24/08/2010
Waay too harsh. Whilst not every sketch is entirely coherent or as on-the-nose as punch in the face, plenty of people understood and enjoyed this show (in the audience that I was a part of at least). Grow a brain!

^thought crossed my mind
It's just the art is well done it looks real.
But I guess u're right, since I can't immagine where in the world it'd come from.
And it can't really be placed anywhere in this arc at all...
So even the slightly possibility of it being a real spoiler is ruled out.

Three days after drenching the central Philippines in flooding rains, Typhoon Rammasun smashed into southeastern China and was still headed for northeastern Vietnam early on July 19, 2014. With a name meaning "thunder of God," Rammasun approached the coast as a category 4 super typhoon and one of the strongest to hit China's Hainan Province in 41 years.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite acquired this image of Typhoon Rammasun at 1:35 p.m. local time (0535 UTC) on July 18, 2014. In the image, the storm has a well-defined eye situated just off the coast of northern Hainan; it is surrounded by bands of thunderstorms stretching across the South China Sea and the Gulf of Tonkin.
Shortly before the image was captured, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center reported sustained winds of 125 knots (140 miles or 230 kilometers per hour) and maximum wave heights of 10 meters (35 feet). According to news reports, winds gusted to 160 kilometers (100 miles) per hour in Haikou City, Hainan, a city of 2 million people, and a month's worth of rain fell in six hours. Chinese meteorologists warned of a storm surge of as much as 6 meters (20 feet). More than one million people were without power in Hainan and Guangdong, and hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated from low-lying areas.
As typically happens when cyclones make landfall, Rammasun broke up a bit and lost strength earlier in the week after passing over the Philippines. But then the storm intensified rapidly over the warm waters of the South China Sea. Such evolution and intensification is a key interest of scientists participating in NASA's Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) airborne mission later this summer in the Atlantic Ocean.
