Jason and Tiffany Nelson spoke at the July Lunch and Learn about running an internet business. Jason works for eBay in addition to running his own internet businesses. He began with a brief introduction of himself and his wife Tiffany who is from American Fork and Jason is from Ferron, the son of James and Lynda Nelson. They have nine children three of which are adopted. Tiffany just ran a marathon and has lost 55 pounds in six months. Jason lost 60-70 pounds and they have been working to get healthy.
Jason graduated from Emery High in 1990. He attended CEU and BYU. He attended the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. One of the top business schools in the nation.
Jason explained his attire to the business lunch. He was dressed in a T-shirt that said, Serious by Birth, Grumpy by Choice. He said it doesn't matter what you're wearing to run an internet business, you can sit home in your underwear and make money running an online business. "Running an online business gives you freedom. It lets us do what we want. I am not an egg head computer programmer, but I can run a successful online business. I have never coded a website, but I can use free or cheap tools that other people have created. All the technical skills you need are how to use word programs. Tap into the tools that are available.
"In Emery County there are roughly 11,000 people, that's not a lot of customers, not a lot of customer traffic. But, like with eBay.com. there are 100 million active users. There could be multiple people using one account. According to comscore.com there were 282 million unique people in July of 2011 that surfed eBay.com. There are 1.4 billion internet users. Tap into those people, find other people to buy your products. In Emery County each year there is $213,530 million made by residents each year. But, that's not discretionary income. Right off the top 30-40 percent is consumed in taxes. It just disappears, then you have housing, cars, utilities, it leaves very little discretionary income. With the internet you can tap into other people's income.
"In 2012 so far $215 billion has been spent online. Google makes money selling advertisements. eBay employs more people than live in Emery County. eBay enables other people to sell their products and they take a cut. They are an e-commerce enabler. You can make money on line. Amazon sells to customers. Amazon is a market place. They also drive business to stores and online businesses. One way to make money online is to make common tasks cheaper or easier. Other ways are to actually sell something, or sell advertisements and promotions.
"Like with Skype, it's software that enables one computer to talk to another and it's free. One lady I know is from the Philippines and she Skypes each week with her mother in the Philippines and it's free. Skype makes money by selling additional services. They use the computer to make calls and it's cheaper than using the telephone. They sell other services to make life easier.
"Online businesses make sense and they are low risk. When I just completed business school we lived in San Diego. It was 72 degrees all the time. I was willing to take a little risk. But, now I am 40 years old with nine kids and a big mortgage and I am less willing to take risk. Internet business is low risk. I pay for other people to hold my website on their computer. They are hosting my website. I pay $6 per month to have my websites hosted so people can find them. I split the cost with a buddy so it's only $3 per month. They are professional and look great. WordPress.org and CMS made simple(www.chmmadesimple.org); ECWED.com get a basic subscription for free or a full service subscription for $17. My preferred host is Omnis.com.
"You need some way to get your money for your product or service. The easiest is eBay's PayPal, it's easy to use. You don't pay anything for this service unless you use it. You can also set up a merchant account. You can start online for an initial cash outlay of $6 for the first month. Get a shopping cart. This is not a risky venture. There are three rules of online business. Content, content and content. The real key is having the right content."
Jason told of his friend Pete Abilla who operates shmula.com and he does advertising and sells spots on his websites. He makes between $500-$1,000 a month and he just blogs about things he is interested in. He blogs about helping businesses with waste. If you visit his site, he will ask for a name and email and when an ad pops up if you are on his site and you click on that ad, he gets a cut. He helps market other peoples products. If you click on a book he mentions on his site, it will take you right to Amazon where you can purchase that book. Pete offers services as a consultant. He makes more than $150 bucks an hour consulting. Pete was featured in the Utah Business magazine as one of the bright tech people.
It's not complicated.
Find something you can write about, there are 1.4 billion people looking for content. You need to provide the best info for whatever you write about. Sell a real product and make money. Blog about what you enjoy. What if it's 4-wheeling. Talk about the places you go. Anything you are interested in can go on a website. What are you passionate about. Sell your products, sell other people's products and if users click on an ad on your website, you make money (this is called affiliate marketing). You can do this. You can write and create good content.
"Leo Garcia wrote about training dogs. His website and services became too popular and too successful. He was charging $1,200 for this dog training. But, it's no longer available, he had to quit to save his marriage. He was making $5,000-$10,000 a month.
"You need good content and videos are great. Our first attempt at an online business was cherishedpresents.com which had personalized gifts. But, it was too much we offered too many items. We started selling webkinz. We were making about $40,000 a month. We were making double off that website than what I was making working and we ran it out of our basement," said Nelson.
The internet business they are operating now is nutrasmartonline.com selling fiber and nutritional weightloss shakes.
"Two years ago it made $8,000 and last year it made $40,000 and this year it's on track to make $300,000 in revenue, but I have three partners in that business that we divide the money with. There are some challenges when you have inventory. It adds significant risk. Holding inventory can be expensive. Inventory depends on the suppliers and the labor intensifies," said Nelson.
Nelson talked about newsletters and sharing information by email. When they sent out newsletters about Kinzconnect.com (their now closed Webkinz website) sales would jump to 4x the normal daily average.
Tiffany talked about the webkinz (www.webkinz.com) and how huge they were until they weren't able to get them any more.
Each webkinz had an avatar on a website and you could follow that webkinz. Each time a new webkinz was going to be introduced then Tiffany would send out a newsletter announcing when it would be available and how you could preorder on the website, before the item was available in stores.
"The webkinz were huge, we couldn't keep them in stock. I would put up a picture in the newsletter announcing the day it was coming out and that was really successful. I would blog about them. I would receive mail back thanking me for the newsletter.
"Everyone thought the newsletter was a great free service. The newsletter was a key to success. The content mattered. It helped me to connect with the customers, we began to have a personal relationship. They were interested in me and my family. Think one on one marketing, not a blast to all marketing. The website must be easy to get to. I sent out links in the newsletter that lead directly to the website so they could order the webkinz. The website must quickly get them the information that's interesting to them. You must have a relationship with the people you do business with. I would tell them if my kids liked the product and it made a difference. One on one marketing makes a difference."
Jason said when they stopped the newsletter they had more than 5,000 people on the distribution list.
He said to be the manufacturer in your business if you can. Right now they sell diet shakes and fiber supplements on line. It enables them to wholesale the products.
They work with Amazon and Amazon ships out the product and stores it so the Nelsons have no inventory at home. It is cheaper for then to let Amazon do the shipping.
He said if you can't write, then hire a copywriter to write your content for your product for your website. Give them a cut. Use affiliate marketing. Pay others only when they make money for you. This is a true win/win situation.
Nelson said to keep the focus small and have one website for each product. It helps to focus on a single product.
Tyler Jeffs, chamber president thanked the Nelsons for coming to the Lunch and Learn and for all their great suggestions. Merrial Johansen was the winner of a $25 gift certificate to the Castle Cafe in Huntington where the event was held. Mistie Christiansen from the Co-op gave away several door prizes.

Enterprise Tech Tip: Locking and Concurrency in Java Persistence 2.0
By edort on Sep 29, 2009
One of the real success stories behind Java EE 5 is the Java Persistence API, know informally as JPA. The technology has been widely adopted and is recognized as the enterprise standard for Object/Relational (O/R) persistence.
However, one of the shortcomings of JPA 1.0 is that the only type of locking it supports is optimistic locking. Recall that locking is a technique for handling database transaction concurrency. When two or more database transactions concurrently access the same data, locking is used to ensure that only one transaction at a time can change the data.
There are generally two locking approaches: optimistic and pessimistic. Optimistic locking assumes that there will be infrequent conflicts between concurrent transactions, that is, they won't often try to read and change the same data at the same time. In optimistic locking, the objective is to give concurrent transactions a lot of freedom to process simultaneously, but to detect and prevent collisions. Two transactions can access the same data simultaneously. However, to prevent collisions, a check is made to detect any changes made to the data since the data was last read.
Pessimistic locking assumes that transactions will frequently collide. In pessimistic locking, a transaction that reads the data locks it. Another transaction cannot change the data until the first transaction commits the read.
The next release of JPA, JPA 2.0, which will be offered as part of Java EE 6, adds support for pessimistic locking. Using JPA 2.0, you can lock an entity either optimistically or pessimistically, depending on how often you think transactions will collide.
To learn about the new locking support in JPA 2.0, see the Tech Tip Locking and Concurrency in Java Persistence 2.0 by Carol McDonald.

sharingan made him better.
The only comparsion we have is a narrow time before and after he got the sharingan.
Compare his skill before he got the sharingan to just after obito died.
U will find he got alot better in that comparion movement wise and jutsu wise because chadori needing u to spot ur blind spots quicker.
No point in fantasing what could have happened if didnt have the sharingan right now because kishi from since kahashi was small made him use the sharingan. It would be quite different if he got the sharingan later in his life like danzo for example. Then u have a decent comparion of what the ninja could achieve without the sharingan and with it .
The sole reason Kahashi is as smart as he is now with jutsu is because u got used to using an activted sharingan since he was young. So things like reading a fight to understanding how jutsu works is because of his skill with the sharingan.
U cant say without the sharingan kahashi would still be as sharp compared to how he became now with the sharingan.
U cant say anything else really.

Skip to comments.North Korea with Nukes? Iran with Nukes? Is this a good time to have Democrats in Power?
Posted on 10/09/2006 2:18:31 PM PDT by Jim RobinsonEdited on 10/09/2006 2:21:15 PM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]
I'm sorry folks, but with the ongoing war in the Middle East and the terrorist states North Korea and Iran threatening to hold the world hostage with nukes, how can any person claiming to be conservative (or even American for that matter) even possibly consider sitting out or voting third party in the coming election?
The world is simply too dangerous a place to allow the cowardly, America hating Democrats to control the congress. We finally have a president with the gonads to act against the terrorists when necessary after eight years of Clinton's weakness and inaction and we need a congress that will not pull the plug on him or our military. This is not a time for conservatives to go wobbly on national defense. The Democrats would be a disaster for America and for the world.
We do indeed live in interesting times.
conservatives Americans should do their utmost to prevent a cut and run Democrat takeover next month.
Is there ever a good time to have a Democrat in power?
Holding my nose and voting straight R in Ohio...
"Is there ever a good time to have a Democrat in power?"
um....lemme think......no.
I am sure Albright can make it all better...
I always like the people that want to zot the site owner.:)
All kidding aside .... Anyone who would vote Democrat now is either an idiot or a traitor .. IMHO
It was a joke
HaHaHa :-) Democrap happens...
Pelosi happens.
I know. I've seen plenty of threads JR or the mods have posted where someone posts the same thing.
I hope every Republican, conservative, moderate, whatever, gets out there and votes. Even if your particular critter is a 100% safe seat. Send a message to the dems that we don't want them and their anger and their smear tactic and their love of the terrorists over their own military. Give them a big, big shout out...WE DON'T WANT WHAT YOU ARE SELLING!
I couldn't resist :<)
Even the Russians and the ChiComs voted in the UN to shorten the leash on N Kor. The Ds, not all but some, would probably be showing positions to the left of the Chicoms, which might be a clue to just how radical some of the Ds have become. No, they don't need to be calling the shots anytime soon.
I agree. As much as I'm righteously pissed about the republican's being so blase about expanding the already bloated federal government, we are far more likely to survive that than the dems trying to actually handle a loon like Ahmadinejad or Kim Jung Il. After we have spanked those two SOBs, we can clean the nanny-staters out of the GOP (and believe me, when the time comes, I'm going to railroad as many RINOs, authoritarians, and nanny-staters out of the GOP as I can find. It will be an inquisition for liberal republicans, but only in due time). If we don't deal with our enemies, there won't be any America or GOP to clean out anyway.
I agree with YOU, JR...but, I have had posters tell ME that Bush doesn't have the "balls"...
I have said that au contraire, Bush does....but he would have to pronounce this problem an imminent threat.
Thanks for the thread, JR....even we freepers need a kick in the butt sometimes!!
I find the leadup to this election more depressing and disheartening than any in memory. The constant barrage of the media and the Dimmies is beyond contempt.
That being said, there is no way in hell I sit this election out. I fear we're in big trouble should the Dimmies take control.
Ping to the MAN and his words of wisdom.
I guess that's the feeling of most of us conservative-minded folks here in Ohio....we've got the choicest of two RINO's for the Senate (DeWhine and Voinovich), and real fringe wingnuts for the House of Representatives (I'm lookin' at Sherrod the Socialist Brown), so we're basically back to voting "against" Democrats, as opposed to "for" Republicans here.....
Voting straight "R" here!
The Democrats will not protect the Republic and despite the faults I find with GW and the current GOP leadership, the choice is more than obvious.

The unabased bias of the drive by media may just backfire on them. Even the braindead are beginning to see the agenda of the liebral press ... and I don't think most are liking it.
Puhlousey is ALMOST as horrid a prospect as her unroyal lowness, her hideous heinous, Bw*tch Shrillery Antoinette de Fosterizer de Marx de Machiavelli de Stalin de Pol Pot . . . de Sade.
God, please have mercy on us and spare us such bits of human . . . excess.
But once we've voted for the RINOs, how do we get them to see the light?
If the dems take control back this November, North and South Korea will be re-united as a Chinese province.
Every Republican I know is determined to vote straight "R", especially after the Foley media blitz that says we'll be disgusted and stay home, or not vote "R."
By getting rid of them in the primaries.
Hildabeast blames President Bush for the N. Korea test...what a LIAR SHE IS...she knows it's because of her administration COMPLETELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The RATS talking points will be that it happened on the GOP watch, therefore they're to blame. And the sheeple will believe it, some of them anyway.
I have to hold my nose to vote AGAINST Angelinasthis election ... I would much rather be voting FOR Tom McClintock for Governor
Quick, someone notify the admins about this Robinson guy.
Yes, in the end you are correct.
I have to hold my nose and vote for pro-abortion Shays up here in Connecticut.
But given that Lieberman's as pro-war as any Republican, and the Republican candidate can't be trusted with money, I'm going to hold my nose and vote for Lieberman.
I thought the border and abortion mattered the most, and maybe in the cosmic scheme of things with our Maker it does, but there's no anti-war anti-abortion candidate on the ticket to test my allegiances, and getting nuked to go meet my Maker sooner doesn't seem like a wholesome way to test the theory.
I'd also encourage Freepers to support Republicans outside their own state. My favorite Repub challenger is Diana Irey in Pennsylvania--who will boot John Murtha with our help!
Most of us had a sick stomach while carter was present, and much joy to see Reagan elected. I sure don't want that sick stomach, "ashamed to be an American because we act like weenies, let terrorists hold our folks, and try to punish the world by not going to the Olympics...... those poor folks who trained all their lives for????" No way i could handle another dem wit.
Voting straight R in California. Local House rep. is Darrell Issa.
No third party is currently viable on the federal or state level.
While they may be able to win seats and accomplish some good on the local city and county levels, other than that they only represent a stumbling block at this time.
Maybe the socialist crook sex pervert baby killing coward democraps can help ratchet up GOP turnout by putting Klintoon out there again as cheerleader for the left.
I'm onboard. PO'ed but onboard.
Awwww, little nancy p.
Totally agree.
Are there any audios or videos of Albright saying she and Clinton were 'dupped' by the North Korean leader when they decided to help him with materials which helped him build The Bomb?
Any audio or video with Albright saying that it's not as safe with the US being the only superpower in the world now?
This needs to be out there.
Rush and the other am talkers are GREAT, but the RNC and the Bush WH really need to oil whatever propaganda machine they may have. They should not be depending ONLY on AM talkers to be their pulpit. That's the problem. There are still too many Americans who only get their news from the BIG 3. Bush and the RNC need to shout out their message and SHOUT IT LOUD. Rush and the other AM talkers should only be looked at as auxility...as an added benefit.
When it comes to getting the message out... the buck does NOT stop at Rush Limbaugh not at the big bias 3 networks. The buck stops in DC...at the doorstep of the RNC and the WH.
We know Clinton/Albright gave N Korea the material. AM talkers do their best to get out the message. It's time the republican leadership join OUR fight to help THEM win.
Agreed, no sitting out and no third party.
Thanks for the thread.
Well said.
We need to take our country back from the liberal hate-mongers who care more about winning an election than they do about the truth and the security of our great nation.
N? Iran? Who cares we are supposed to be worrying about mash notes between consenting adults.
I'm particularly looking forward to voting for Diana Irey!!!
Don't tell anyone, but I hear she's a hottie!!! LOL!

WHEAT RIDGE - After their leading scorer senior Ryan Girtin went down it looked like Wheat Ridge basketball's hopes went down with him as well.
However, the loss of Girtin toughened up a Wheat Ridge team that needed some swagger and confidence, and they used that as fuel to beat Arvada 57-40 Friday at Wheat Ridge High School.
In Girtin's absence junior Stefan Hackethal scored 22 points and recorded nine rebounds, and Deion Trujillo pulled down 13 rebounds and added seven points.
But it was Wheat Ridge's toughness that won them the game, at least according to Arvada coach Tom Baker.
"They got physical with us and we backed down, that's what happened," Baker said. "They got tough with us and Hackethal got hot, and we didn't respond."
After a back-and-fourth first quarter Wheat Ridge turned up their intensity. The result was a 16-4 run that gave the Farmers the confidence they have lacked at times during this season.
The turning point in the contest came midway through the second quarter. What was once a tie game quickly got out of hand for the Bulldogs when Hackethal drove to the basketball, elevated and dunked the ball over a crowd of Bulldog defenders.
Moments later, the red-hot Hackethal hit a three that stretched Wheat Ridge's lead to double digits. Hackethal scored 16 of his 22 points in the first half.
"I was preparing for this game and this team and I just wanted to come out strong," Hackethal said. "Without Ryan (Girtin) we need to come together as a team and be big on the boards and we did that."
The Farmers attacked the rim for four full quarters, working hard for easy buckets. On the flip side, Arvada as unable to match Wheat Ridge's physicality and while the Farmers were routinely getting layups, the Bulldogs settled for way to many outside shots.
Arvada would pull within eight points late in the game, but they could never slow Wheat Ridge's offense attack.
Arvada junior Elijah Turner scored 16 points, and senior Gabe Enriquez scored 10 points and pulled down eight rebounds.
"We are coming around we just need to do it for four full quarters. We have a couple players coming back that will help us, but we need to match team's intensity or we won't win any games," Baker said.
But Girtin, who was Wheat Ridge's leading scorer averaging nearly 10 points per game, can only sit and watch his team. The co-captain of the Farmers dislocated his kneecap and will be forced to sit out the rest of the year.
"We are going to miss him and miss his leadership. He was a threat for us and we will have to adjust without him. I feel really bad for him it had to end like this," Wheat Ridge coach Tommy Dowd said.
Girtin said he will have surgery and will work hard to get back. And he still has designs on playing basketball collegiately.
"It's tough, I am disappointed, and it's my senior year. But I am going to have the surgery and come back and hopefully play somewhere next year," Girtin said.
Wheat Ridge (2-9, 1-1) will face Conifer Friday at 3 p.m. Pepsi Center.
Arvada (1-9, 0-2) will play at Arvada on Friday at 7 p.m.

Pros: Details are plentiful, especially in the mids
Cons: Treble Roll-Off, Bass lacks punch, price vs. sound quality
I was looking for an excellent universal IEM with multiple drivers to fit my portable listening needs. Ideally, I would have my beloved LCD-2's in a portable package. I have become addicted to the effortless brightness of those headphones and their versatility. I'm sad that I can't wear them all the time, which is why I need something portable.
I have listened to and enjoyed many low end IEMs (including a sub $100 set of Shures) since my first pair of IEMs (Etymotic ER-4P's) were destroyed, but none of them were able to completely satisfy my needs. Towards that end, I had been eyeing custom molded IEMs, but I'm always too impatient and decided to try the upper range universal fit IEMs before trekking to the summit.
The SE535 came highly recommended on many sites, including this one. I wanted the clear ones, but they weren't available in a timely manner (again, impatient) and I was able to get the special editions for only about $20 more than what I would have paid for the bronze or clear versions
The resolution of these IEMs are immediately apparent as is their comfort and build quality.
Up to this point, these were the most comfortable IEMs I've used. The construction of the driver housings are top notch and the detachable cable is an important detail. The cable connections rotate freely, allowing for multiple fitting styles, but it makes them more fidgetty to insert and keep in the right spot, sometimes requiring two hands to adjust them.
I tried most of the included tips (which are mixed up in the same baggy), but none of them were as comfortable as the Complys I bought along with the 535's. The fake Comply's came closest, but they have a thick plastic wax guard that altered the sound signature for the worse. As comfortable as these are, they still made my ears slightly sore after long listening periods, plus they required adjustments fairly often. I will put up with a lot of pain to hear the highest quality sound and, fortunately, these deliver their sound quality without much discomfort.
The included grey cord is too short, but it isn't very microphonic. The splitter is kind of clunky and it is terminates in a very chunky plug. It looks like it's getting ready for an 1/4" jack.
These IEMs are easy to drive, but they don't play well with poorer sources. I originally planned for them to be connected to my phone through the FiiO E-18 Kunlun (which didn't work out so well). I also used them with my Headroom Portable Desktop. I listened to all styles and qualities of music and the SE535 again were not well matched with some songs, even within the same genre.
Since I will primarily use these in a portable setting, my in depth listening was done with the FiiO X5 (which replaced my Kunlun), using FLAC files from ripped CDs and high resolution sources. I did compare with a couple higher end amps and DACs, but the results didn't vary enough to be noteworthy. I will write out my listening notes at the end of this review.
Overall sound quality is abundantly detailed. These are very revealing, very analytical IEMs. Unfortunately, they are also cold and quite lifeless. They don't sound good with large dynamic ranges either. They sound uneven at lower volumes and tend to be too harsh at high volumes.
The bass end is fast and defined, but is usually hollow and lacking impact whatsoever. There isn't much extension to speak of either. The SE535's don't seem to pull out much texture in the recordings, so while the detail of each note is reproduced, the feel of the instrument is behind the note is sometimes lost.
Mids are the sweet spot for these little guys, but there's a noticeable hump in the upper mids, which correlates to vocals and tends to exacerbate any bloat found at those frequencies in the recordings. The most detail and resolution is found in the midrange, but there isn't much warmth to speak of. Speed is again very quick and there is a little more room for the decay than in the higher frequencies.
Highs are rolled off. The details are there, but they tend to become absorbed by the lower ranges once the roll-off begins. You won't find any warmth here either, just more analytic coldness. The highs are bright, but not particularly airy and they can become very harsh at the peaks. Cymbals, especially, attack very well, but the decay tends disappear too quickly.
Overall, the Shure SE535LTD IEMs are not all that musical. They become fatiguing with their cold edginess and analytical nature. They might be considered neutral, but they don't pair well with enough sources or genres for my tastes. The best qualities that they have are the fit and comfort, their speed and their clarity. I do feel that the might be too fast for their own good, however. The attacks are great, but there isn't any decay and they don't seem to allow for the textures of the instruments to shine. It's like the notes are always trying to get out of each other's way. As it stands, they are remarkably detailed, but they leave me wanting a more lifelike representation of my music.
For $500, I can be analytical right back. These are very detailed IEMs, but the resolution alone isn't worth the money when they aren't a thoroughly enjoyable listen.
Personal note: I was able to buy a different brand of IEM in the same range and try for a better sound signature while still being able to compare them. My previous daily use IEM was the Audiofly AF78's, which are a hybrid design. I got them about 6 months prior for 1/5th the price of the Shures. While they have a few issues of their own and they can't stand up to the SE535's in the detail department, they did have abundant texture, comparatively, and warm musicality, which I had been missing.
I ultimately went with Audiofly's new 4 driver AF180's for the head-to-head test. These also retail at the same price as the 3 driver SE535's and I will compare these two universal IEMs below. Spoiler: I will be keeping the AF180's and I'll have to do something I've never done before since I entered this hobby: send something back.
Good-bye, Shure SE535LTD! May you find a home in someone else's ears.

DEAR PEGGY: Can you explain diabetic exchanges? Also, now that I've been diagnosed with diabetes, is fast food a no-no? —J.C., Renton, Washington
The diabetic exchange system consists of six groups: bread/starch, meat/protein, milk, vegetables, fruits and fat. Foods fall into the groups based on the amount of carbohydrates, proteins and fats they contain.
For example, a slice of bread, a small baked potato and 3/4 cup unsweetened dry cereal all belong to the bread/starch group because they have similar amounts of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. These foods are exchangeable with one another because their dietary makeup is similar.
Since you've recently been diagnosed, ask your doctor to recommend a dietitian who can personalize a meal plan for you, answer your questions and help you learn about making healthy food choices.
And speaking of choices, fast food is not forbidden. But you need to be smart about fitting those foods into your exchange plan. When you visit a fast-food restaurant, ask for a copy of the nutritional information for menu items so you can make wise choices.
And, of course, portion control is key. Order the smallest sizes available or share larger sizes with companions. Avoid fried foods, and consider sandwiches featuring grilled, broiled, baked or rotisserie meats.
Skip the carb- and fat-laden condiments, such as mayonnaise, cheesy toppings and barbecue sauce. I hope this helps!

Today is Opposite Day! Or should I say, "Today ISN'T Opposite Day" in order to make that true?
If you're as big of a Zac Efron fan as I am, then I bet you watched his recent appearance on Saturday Night Live. Obviously, I was glued to the TV for that. But while I loved the parody of HSM, I actually laughed the hardest at one part of "Weekend Update" featuring a band that takes classic rock songs and changes the lyrics to their "opposites" — sometimes using the word "opposites" pretty loosely. For example, the song "That's What Friends Are For" became "That's What Enemies Are Five." (Get it?)
I was inspired to do the same thing, but Splot-style. So I came up with some "opposite" book titles:
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid –> Skywriting of a Brave Adult
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire –> Harry Potter and the Collander of Ice
- Inkdeath –> Wite-Out® Birth
- Esperanza Rising –> Desperación Falling
- Because of Winn-Dixie –> In Spite of Safeway (or In Spite of Food Emporium, In Spite of Gristedes, In Spite of Stop & Shop — take your pick)
Now it's your turn. Leave a comment with your opposite book titles! Or, you know, don't . . .

For those Sarah McLachalan fans that have been listening to the same songs over and over waiting, just waiting for her to release something new, well your time has come. Come June 15th, her new album "The Laws of Illusion" will be released, just before another big event, the continuation of her famous Lilith Fair.
Sarah McLachlan, a Canadian musician, singer and songwriter, has sold over 40 million albums worldwide. McLachlan, born in 1968, took voice lessons along with classical piano and guitar growing up. Before finishing high school she was offered a recording contract with a Vancouver-based independent record label. Her parents insisted she finish high school and attend at least one year of college before signing, which she did.
McLachlan recorded her first album "Touch" in 1998 followed by "Solace" in 1991. "Solace" made her a star in Canada with singles "The Path of Thorns" and "Into The Fire", both becoming certified double platinum. But it wasn't until the 1993 release of "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" that the world discovered who McLachlan was. The album scaled the charts in numerous countries. Her success was pushed even further forward with the 1997 album "Surfacing", her best selling album to date. The album earned her two Grammy Awards and four Juno Awards. It has sold over 11 million copies worldwide.
Even with such success, McLachlan found herself frustrated over concert promoters and radio stations refusal two feature two female musicians in a row. From this stemmed the idea of "Lilith Fair", where McLachlan booked herself and Paula Cole to appear together in Canada. Joining the women included performances by Lisa Loeb and Michelle McAdorey.
1997 proved to be a big year for McLachlan. Not only was her album "Surfacing" making it a success, Lilith Fair was garnering $16 million gross, making it the top grossing tour festival. The same year, her song "Angel", inspired by a fatal overdose of Smashing Pumpkins touring keyboardest Jonathan Melvoin, became Billboard Charts number one song. The following year the song was featured in the film "City of Angels". The soundtrack also remained on the Billboard's top 40 albums.
Meanwhile Lilith Fair grew in success. Within three years it brought together over 2 million people and raised more than $7 million for charities. It also helped launch the careers of several well-known female artists. Artists known for their participation in Lilith Fair include the Indigo Girls, Sheryl Crow, Nelly Furtado, Queen Latifah, Emmylou Harris, and Christina Aguilera.The festival discontinued in 1999 but is also to be started back up this year.
McLachlan released "Mirrorball" in 1999. She recorded "When She Loved Me" for the Toy Story 2 soundtrack, a son that was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song. In 2001 she provided background vocals, guitar and piano on the closing track "Love Is" for Stevie Nicks' solo album "Trouble In Shangri-La"
It wouldn't be until 2003 that she would release another album, "Afterglow" as she spent time with her husband and new family. From the album came singles "Fallen", "Stupid" and "World on Fire" that pushed the album into selling over 2,500,000 units in the U.S. alone. The album went two times platinum and worldwide sold more than 5 million copies.
What will 2010 bring for Sarah McLachlan. With the release of her new album and the start up of Lilith Fair, once again, it could be the beginning of another successful decade.

Virgin Blue Expands Delta Codeshare02/05/2011
The Virgin Blue group of airlines today announced the expansion of its codeshare agreement with Delta Air Lines to include more destinations in the United States and within Australia and New Zealand.
The expansion of the agreement will allow V Australia guests to connect seamlessly from Los Angeles to four new destinations in the United States: San Francisco, Las Vegas, Atlanta and Detroit.
In addition, Delta will now code on flights between Sydney and other popular destinations in Australia and New Zealand including Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Auckland and Christchurch.
Virgin Blue Group Executive of Corporate Advisory Merren McArthur said: "Virgin Blue has worked successfully with Delta for three years in an interline and codeshare capacity and today's announcement is a natural next step forward in our relationship. It has always been our plan to expand the codeshare.
"We know that connectivity within the US is extremely important to Australian travellers, with around 60% of guests travelling on to other destinations following their arrival in the US. Today's announcement means travellers can connect seamlessly to key leisure and business hubs and earn more frequent flyer points in the process.
"It will also bring more traffic from the US onto the Virgin Blue domestic network and help promote key tourist destinations within Australia and New Zealand.
Virgin Blue and Delta are currently awaiting a decision from the US Department of Transportation on their application for antitrust immunity.
"We have submitted all the information requested by the US Department of Transportation and we hope to hear the outcome in the next few months", Ms McArthur said.
The expanded codeshare agreement will mean V Australia now codes on flights from Los Angeles to:
- New York - Atlanta - Orlando
- San Francisco - Detroit - Las Vegas
Delta will now code on flights from Sydney to:
- Brisbane - Canberra - Adelaide
- Melbourne - Auckland
- Perth - Christchurch

A fibroid tumor, also called a leiomyoma or myoma, is a benign mass of compacted muscle and fibrous tissue that grows in, on, or outside a woman's uterus. A woman may have one or a cluster of several fibroids of varying sizes - as small as a pea or as large as a small melon. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, at least 25 percent of women develop fibroids.
Fibroids usually develop before pregnancy; however, because many women experience no symptoms, they may not realize they have them until they have an ultrasound during their pregnancy. However, in some women fibroids can cause heavy bleeding or painful periods, bleeding between periods, a feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen, frequent urination, painful sex, lower back pain, and reproductive problems such as infertility, miscarriage, or preterm labor.
Fibroids do not increase the risk of uterine cancer, and experts do not know specifically what causes fibroids to begin growing, but they believe estrogen plays a role. The tumors tend to grow if you are taking birth control pills containing estrogen, and during pregnancy when more hormones are released. They also tend to shrink or disappear completely after menopause.
Many women experience no pregnancy complications due to their fibroids; however, the nature of the tumors may change during pregnancy. Most fibroids increase in size, probably due to increased blood flow to the uterus and the increase in estrogen. In some women, however, the fibroids actually shrink during pregnancy, for reasons that are not well understood. Fibroids cause light vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain in approximately 10 to 30 percent of pregnant women, but unless the bleeding is substantial, the baby is usually not affected. The major concerns with fibroids during pregnancy are preterm labor, placental abruption, and restricted fetal growth. The fibroids can disrupt normal development and expansion of the womb, leading to premature birth (although usually only 2 to 3 weeks early, which is of little threat to the baby). They may also affect how a fertilized egg implants in the uterus, which can lead to miscarriage. If the placenta develops over a fibroid, there is an increased risk of the placental abruption. Depending on their size, they may also stall birth, cause the baby to be in an abnormal position for birth, or block the baby's passage if they are located in or near the cervical opening. All of these problems may increase the likelihood of a cesarean delivery.
Fibroids are more common in women in their 40s and 50s, in African-American women (who tend to get them at a younger age), and women who are overweight or obese. Women who have previously given birth are slightly less likely to develop fibroids. There are four types of fibroids, classified depending on their location in the uterus:
Subserosal fibroids develop in the outer portion of the uterus and continue to grow outward. These usually do not affect a woman's menstrual flow, but can cause pain depending on their size and if they put pressure on surrounding organs.
Intramural fibroids are the most common and develop within the uterine wall, which makes the uterus feel and appear larger than normal. This type of fibroid can cause heavy menstrual flow, pelvic pain, back pain, frequent urination, and pressure.
Submucosal fibroids are the least common type of fibroid and develop just under the lining of the uterine cavity. They can cause heavy and prolonged menstrual periods.
Pedunculated fibroids grow on a stalk in the uterus or on the outside of the uterus.
Your doctor can confirm you have fibroids by performing an ultrasound, MRI, x-ray, or a CT scan. You and your doctor can determine an appropriate treatment based on several factors, including if you are experiencing any negative symptoms due to the fibroids; if you are pregnant, or wish to be in the future; the size and location of the fibroids; and your age. In many cases, if you have no symptoms, you will not need any treatment. However, your doctor will continue to monitor the fibroids to check for growth or change.

Between London, Paris, and Milan, there was a whirlwind of denim to keep up with, but we're making it easy for you by sharing our top 10 favorite denim collections. From Balenciaga's broken front row bench (Anna Wintour had to stand!) , Gareth Pugh's models in caged dresses, and Alexander McQueen's use of lace head pieces,Spring 2012 European Fashion Weeks took more risks, exuded romance and signaled a return to the art behind couture that industry faves like Prabal Gurung craves so much. Designers are taking chances and we like what we're seeing (well not all of it but that's the point of this post isn't it?).
In London, we love Henry Holland's cloud-like look of bleach splatters on the high-waisted skinny jeans (also shown in another color scheme of peaches and cream). The color palette is pastel but with an edge, as the colors aren't dulled down but rather pop out. The lavender high-waisted skinny jeans come with an almost animal-like printed spot on them, which have a much more nighttime feel than the bleached jeans.
Marques'Almeida certainly stood out during LFW, if that was even possible. Their take on frayed and ripped jeans and repurposed denim—in this case jeans that look like a DIY project gone out of control—is both visually interesting and creative. The creations exude a tribal nature while exerting a sense of raw rebellion. We hesitate to think the collection is actually wearable, but we give kudos for this entry into the substantial use of denim in a collection.
Paris Fashion Week definitely had a denim fest worth crushing over. Balmain took coated denim to a new level of class by pairing it with light-wash denim for a pantsuit as well as a futuristic denim mini dress that we absolutely fell in love with! We mean after all, if the world is ending in 2012, this is what we want to be wearing!
Isabel Marant was all over the place (in a good way) at PFW with patchwork denim, more bleached denim, and even a scribble print pair of skinny jeans. When you want the comfort of denim but want to take a chance that a pair of blue jeans just can't give you, look here.
Keeping the ethnic and tribal print trend going strong, Paul & Joe brought a luxe version of the American South West to Paris mixing sheer lurex knits and metallic leather jeans in gold and bronze with bright silk ikat separates. This collection also marks the revival of hippie-chic embroidered jeans and handbags. Get into it because this is definitely the new take on bohemian style!
A decidedly architectural collection with exaggerated shoulders and bold proportions, Balenciaga's jeans for women were marked by frontal pleats and a cinched-waist; a method to exaggerate a woman's slim waistline. A nod to the classic denim jacket, a satiny, over-sized re-interpretation in color blocks is embedded into the collection.
While Milan Fashion Week seemed to be marked by opulence, retro silhouettes and a return to couture, denim collections seemed to be conceived from another planet (save D&G's colorful handkerchief prints pieced with denim). The Dsquared2 collection for next season looks playfully urban chic. We love the pompom finish on the denim shorts, as well as the dip-dye boot cut jeans—looking dirty never looked so good!
Leave it to D&G to make foulard look so sexy! The whole collection centers on the print used as everything from killer shoes to blouses with denim details like pockets and full-on sleeves, to gorgeous summer evening dresses. This is the great au revoir to D&G as it will be combined with the Dolce & Gabbana brand after this season.
Also at MFW, the Bottega Veneta Men's Collection combined leather and denim for a completely hot look, although we do have to say that we'd like to see those pieces as separates. We like the denim on denim style here also, which we think really only works thanks to the dark wash and minimalist detailing. The real eye-catcher was the tye-dye denim pants that almost look spray painted on. We love it on the runway but aren't sure how well these would work in the real world.
In contrast to Roberto Cavalli's golden flapper dresses and couture detailing, his more casual Just Cavalli collection presented leather and metallic jeans styled in a Euro-Boho ensemble. There was some heavy-handed embroidery and pocket detailing, but the denim peasant blouse was one of the few separates we felt was worth a second look. The entire collection boldly displays some of the season's hottest trends: python patterns and metallic jeans.

While the Spring 2012 Fashion Weeks had some great looks, we hope designers such as Alber Elbaz, Hussein Chalayan, Stella McCartney and even Rick Owens will lend back their talents and generate new buzz for women's denim. The relaunch of Kenzo in Paris, by the newly-appointed Creative Directors, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim (Co-Founders of Opening Ceremony) who garnered rave reviews for their colorful fishnet print collection, showed creations which could easily be reinterpreted into denim. We know designers are inspired by denim, so we hope we get to see the actual textile play a more dominant role next season.

Jets Game Day: Bad Company
Robert Cleave
October 20 2011 01:50PM
On the heels of a somewhat disappointing outcome in the Big Smoke last night, Winnipeg's two game roadie finishes this evening with a game versus one of the few teams likely to be looking up at them by season's end. Our nation's
sump hole for tax dollars capital hosts a very bad hockey team, one that seems a clear favourite to have the best shot in the Nail Yakupov derby next spring.
How bad are the Sens? Well, through the opening six games this year, they've been outscored by a two to one ratio overall while allowing three goals a game 5v5. It's early days, of course, but as a frame of reference, only six clubs gave up as many as two goals per game 5v5 last season, so it's not a pace a team can live with.
Most, but not all, of what's been ailing Ottawa thus far has been occurring between the pipes. Craig Anderson is batting a smooth .875 at EV in his first five games, and he's been the superior option in net when one sees Alex Auld at .853. Ouch. I don't doubt that they've faced plenty of good chances, but those numbers would be inexcusable for ECHL goalies. Anderson will likely get the ship righted in time, although there's a greater problem lurking even if he sharpens his play.
As I've mentioned in the recent past, Ottawa has a dreadful group of forwards. I quite like Jason Spezza, but after him, their next best forward might be the shell of Daniel Alfredsson that's currently on display, and that's a certain recipe for a bad year. Mika Zibanejad might be good someday, obviously, but like a fellow draftee we're more familiar with around these parts, he's not ready to be a difference maker right out of the box. The rest of the forwards are dismal, really. Winnipeg has a plethora of options in comparison, and it's no secret that the Jet forwards are nothing special at all.
The Sens aren't particularly better on D, especially with Sergei Gonchar falling off the planet. Paul MacLean has been trying to give Erik Karlsson and David Rundblad a leg up, but the outshooting numbers against Gonchar are very, very bad, even with that context noted. Again, having bad forwards in front of you won't help any defender's advanced stats, so some of Gonchar's work has to be viewed with that in mind. He's still been lousy, though, and he has two more years left on a pricey 35+ deal. Bryan Murray is a hell of a GM.
As I mentioned up top, losing to Toronto last night wasn't good, although the Jets likely shaded matters at EV before falling in the skills competition. There's still plenty of room to improve for the first line in particular, as Ladd, Wheeler and Little have been a bit slow to get off the mark in the first five games. Tonight might the time to get that line going, given how dire Ottawa has been to this point.
On the flip, Alex Burmistrov has the look of a player about him at the moment. He, Antropov and Wellwood have been perfectly acceptable since uniting a few games back, carrying the load to a degree as the first line has scuffled. Burmistrov's PDO is around 114, so his results might drop on the scoring side soon enough, but the actual level of play he's exhibited is promising. He's looked better on the wing and Antropov has seemed comfortable at center, so I suspect that arrangement will hold until further notice.
One other positive from last night was a PP that appeared to resemble a NHL unit rather than the house league outfit wearing Jets jerseys that we witnessed in the opening three games. Winnipeg might get some traction tonight 5v4 against a Senator PK that's killing at a 64.5% rate thus far. Their goalies haven't stopped much, but the Sens are also allowing 65.9 shots/60 4v5, which is a terrible rate unless your goalie is Dom Hasek circa 1999.
Gamewise, this is a matchup that Winnipeg should win, even noting that it's the second leg of a B2B. I suspect Claude Noel feels that way as well since he's apparently giving Ondrej Pavelec the start in net rather than rolling the dice by using Mason against a poor club. Puck drop is 6:30-ish CT, with coverage on TSN Jets, presuming that Shaw can be arsed to turn the coverage on before the 15 minute mark this time around.
October 20 2011, 02:39PM
Jets should definitely get the first win of the season tonight. THey come any worse than the Sens right now.

Samsung is set to launch several new Galaxy Android tablets in Australia, a move that could further pressure Apple, whose sales of iPads have started to slow.
The new range, which will be launched locally on Wednesday, 17th of July, is set to be available at retailers immediately, including at Samsung stores in Melbourne and Sydney.
Among the new Samsung tablet range is the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, and Galaxy Tab 3 10.1.
The Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 uses a seven-inch 1024x600 display and houses a dual-core 1.2GHz processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage.
A rear-mounted three-megapixel camera and a front-facing 1.3-megapixel counterpart are included, along with Wi-Fi Channel Bonding on 2.4GHz and 5GHz, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0 connection support, Android 4.1, and a 4,000mAh battery.
The middle-sized Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 with Android 4.2 uses a slightly higher-resolution 1280x800 display and opts for a 1.5GHz dual-core processor with 1.5GB of RAM, with options for 16GB or 32GB of expandable storage. The back camera is upgraded to a five-megapixel version. The front version is the same 1.3MP model used in the seven-inch tablet and while it has similar connection options to the 7.0, Bluetooth 4.0 and LTE connectivity makes an appearance instead.
The largest tablet of the group, the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, also has the fastest processor, a dual-core model running at 1.6GHz with 1GB of RAM. The cameras are the same as the Tab 3 7.0, while connectivity and software matches that of the Tab 3 8.0, though its power supply is a much beefier 6,800mAh.
Pricing for the Galaxy Tab range in Australia has not been announced.

Gay Routes
As well as being the capital of Europe, Brussels is also world famous for being the European capital of the gay community! Read on and you'll see why!
A gay capital of Europe
With its legendary Pride4Every1 - the Belgian Homosexual, Bisexual & Transsexual Festival (BRUXELLES), its monthly "La Démence" parties which are famous across Europe, and its position at the head of the gay movement… Brussels is also the gay capital of Europe! This shows in the complete integration of its lesbian and gay communities with the rest of the population… and even a statue in honour of gay liberation in the city's gay district!
Day 1: Saturday
Saint-Jacques, gay history and community
© OPT / J.P. Remy © OPT / Jean-Paul Remy © D*TOURS sprl
Our programme starts in the historic St Jacques (St James) district, the gay heart of the city, whose narrow mediaeval streets are perfect for a stroll as part of a guided tour or a do-it-yourself tour using one of the D*TOURS: SYNCHRONIZED AUDIO WALKS (BRUXELLES).
Pop on the headphones, switch on the MP3 player and listen to descriptions and interviews illustrating each part of the route. For a more traditional approach, join one of the guided tours organised by Itinéraires - Paths through history, guided tours & cultural events (IXELLES) !
• Boutiques, terraces and cafés
Let's begin our walk in the Rue du Marché au Charbon, whose eccentric boutiques, cafés and restaurants attract many gay shoppers! Then an essential pitstop at the terrace of LE PLATTESTEEN (BRUXELLES), which is THE place to see and be seen for the city's gay men. Further up the street, "Le Belgica" bar has the same reputation!
Our walk is also brightened up by several giant strip cartoon murals along the way ("Comic Strips" Mural Paintings), some of which are in highly unlikely places! They were originally painted by local artists on buildings that had been damaged in the Second World War to cheer them up a bit before they could be repaired.
Manneken Pis (BRUXELLES) within spraying distance!
He's made of bronze and only 50 cm tall but he's world-famous. Legend says he peed on the burning fuse of a bomb in the fourteenth century and put it out, preventing it from destroying the city. This is just one of the many myths surrounding the city's mascot, whose extensive wardrobe of 760 costumes is stored at the Museum of the City of Brussels - House of the King (BRUXELLES).
He must be the world's smallest urban hero! We'll stay in the historic city centre for lunch at the "Mam Mam" ("Yum Yum") restaurant, with its excellent Far-Eastern cuisine and decor!
The latest fashions in the Rue Dansaert
The winning trio for our afternoon programme is fashion, design and the Rue Dansaert. Jewellery, ready-to-wear designer clothes and home furnishings: this street is at the cutting edge of all of them! The nearby "H20" restaurant is an excellent venue for dinner with the best of traditional Brussels cuisine in a warm and romantic atmosphere.
Brussels by night
Gay party animals love Brussels at night! To see what's on and to make your choice, have a look at the 4-star clubbing programme listed in . First stop is "Boy's Boudoir" a long-established gay haunt, then it's off to "Fuse"! If you're lucky, your visit will coincide with the legendary monthly "La Démence".
Day 2: Sunday
No doubt you had a long night, so to help you recover; your morning programme will start with sweat and relaxation…
• Morning Sauna
Located at the heart of the gay district, "Le Macho" is one of Brussels' oldest gay saunas. Its saunas and jacuzzis are sure to revive your spirits!
Grand Place farewell tour
Each brick and cobble-stone of the fabulous The Grand-Place in Brussels (BRUXELLES) oozes history. Along one side is the monumental ELTO(15719,V)$% and opposite it is the King's House where the Museum of the City of Brussels - House of the King (BRUXELLES) is based…
And don't forget all the other splendid buildings, each built by one of the medieval city guilds, in honour of their trade or craft! Sit down on one of the many terraces for a drink and relax by looking at the buildings and the never-ending flow of people they attract!
The BED & BRUSSELS agency offers "gay-friendly" as a search category among its bed-and-breakfast accommodation. Those located a 5 minute walk from the Gare du Midi are worth seeing for their unique décor. Use the code "Farinelli" to book via firstname.lastname@example.com
Located in the city centre and only 20 minutes from the airport by train, the Hotel Café Pacific (BRUXELLES) and the Hotel Warwick Brussels | The Grand-Place's 5-star hotel (BRUXELLES) are also very "gay-friendly".

Skip to comments.Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrested
Posted on 04/30/2013 9:40:12 PM PDT by yldstrk
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was arrested and held for seven hours Monday and warned to keep his mouth shut about matters detrimental to the Islamic regime before he was released, according to a source within the Revolutionary Guards intelligence unit.
(Excerpt) Read more at guardianlv.com ...
He was quoted as saying "Do you know who I AM?"
Shareeeeefffff don't liiiiike it....
Rockin' the casbah, rockin' the casbah....
Joseph Stalin
Ping, for what it is worth.
I wonder where the Iranian equivalent to Ft. Marcy Park is?
Not so long ago the word was that Dinny had taken over by means of the guards.
Disinfo clouds on both sides.
yeah no joke, about a week ago I read that the mullahs had been defanged, so maybe not huh?
Probably a victim of playground bullying or something....
The Imams are in charge and he had the audacity to challenge them... he is getting the equivalent of a butt smack. Gata keep him in his place.
yeah guess not so much huh?
The tide is turning. The question is which way?
Meanwhile, Congressman Justin Amash of Michigan has denounced the arrest as "racist."
It must be hell when you can't trust a bunch of cuthroats.
Almost ALL of the articles that Reza Kahlili writes are never authenticated or sourced or proven. They are all unprovable and come from people he never mentions - and even after time passes - one can never verify them!
This guy makes a living from stories that no one can trace and that can never be checked out! ... LOL ...
Thats a pretty good RACKET he has going ... :-)
BTW I expect that Imadinnerjacket will respond in a few weeks. Harshly.
Oh boy....
Slow moving earthquake going on in Iran. Has the revolutionary guard become strong enough to actually cow BOTH homodinejad AND the mullahs?
Probably Ft. Marcy Park.
Turn in your Members Only jacket, Makmood Whackjob.
I am so distracted by Shatner's Weird or What I can barely keep up.
But I do believe Domino A is about to fall... just can't figure out which regime is Domino A. The Mullahs?
The Drone world is our Brave New One. They can't escape detection anymore.
What do YOU think?
And Barry rushed to save his life and offer him asylum, faster than you can say "Benghazi," right?
If this report is true (I give it a 50% chance of being real) then it sounds like the mullahs were just giving him a little reminder of who's in charge there. He'll fly straight, I'm sure.
reese went to pieces.
IF this story is true, then I seems as though the Mullahs are trying to remind Amadinnerjacket just who is boss. Why do they feel the need to do so? Do they feel that their grip on power is vulnerable? My thoughts on the matter only seem to lead to more questions.
Well, we saw this weekend that Syria air defense is completely useless. Maybe the stuff Putin sold Iran is about to curl up and die, too.
If they're both completely vulnerable, then maybe it's time for the IRG or the Mullahs to start making new deals before
Israel puts an extreme hurtin on em both.
He was caught "in flagrante delecto"!
I must have missed a lot of Mid-East news. What happened with Syria's air defenses?
Well, Israel dropped some bombs and buzzed Assad's palace Sunday, then a Russian airliner had two missiles fired at it, not hit, in a flight over it.
Holy crap.
Illustrates what is often forgotten, the fact that he is a nearly powerless figurehead.
What's scary is he is not extreme enough for some of the Ayotollahs.
Okay, I heard about the IAF attack, but when I first heard about it, some aid it was rumor (I was a bit out of pocket for the past 48 hours). Didn't the IAF prove that Syria's air defences were a bit over hyped back in 2006?
RUSSKIES are in kahoots with the u.s.-sending the muzzies stuff that doesn't work.
Breaking Report: Israel Jets Bomb Syrian Weapons Compound
Missiles Fired At Passenger Jet Over Syria
And Israel has the pilots with the balls to prove it.
Why do you think Achmadinejad was arrested?
Who is that?
Earlier, the regimes media outlet Baztab reported that with just days remaining for the registration of presidential candidates, Ahmadinejad warned associates that if his hand-picked candidate to succeed him, a close confidant and a top adviser, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, was rejected as a candidate, then he would reveal tapes that will show the regime defrauded the voters in the 2009 presidential election.
What on earth did this weird little puppet say that he shouldn'ta?
that is Reese Withoutherspoon
That's Reese Witherspoon. Last week her boyfirend was pulled over for DUI and Reese was in the passenger seat. She allegedly huffed at the police, "Do you know who I am?"
I had a Fonzi jacket back then.
he threatened to release info that the 2009 elections were tampered with
Looks like dinnerjacket WANTS out of Iran. Where to?
Then the rumor a month ago that Assad was assassinated.
And six weeks ago, the rumor that NK fatboy had gone missing for two weeks.
?Bush's fault?
Still doesn't ring a bell but thanks for replying, guys.

Interpublic Group shareholders, at their annual meeting today, rejected a proposal that would have required the company to publicly report on the number of minorities and women it employs.
The measure called on IPG to provide a "comprehensive breakdown of its workforce by race and gender according to 10 employment categories," beginning this year. Under federal law, companies with more than 100 employees already provide such data annually to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Nevertheless, the proposal garnered little support, with fewer than 7 percent of the voting shareholders supporting it. About 77 percent voted against it and the rest abstained.
IPG management opposed the measure, suggesting it was unnecessary, given the company's ongoing efforts to promote diversity and inclusion.
Another proposal, calling for IPG to slow the vesting of equity awards that top management can get if the company is sold, also was rejected. However, more than a third of the voting shareholders (38 percent) supported it. Still, in sync with management's opposition, 61 percent voted no.
Also at the meeting, which was steered by IPG CEO and board chairman Michael Roth, shareholders reelected all nine members of IPG's board and reappointed longtime outside auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Support for board members ranged from 94 percent for Roth to 99 percent for four others: David Thomas, William Kerr, Mary Steele Guilfoile and Jocelyn Carter-Miller. Each election is for one year.
About 75 people attended the meeting, which lasted 40 minutes and took place at the McGraw-Hill Building in New York.

The Elizabeth School District is defending against an allegation that a brief application period to fill a school board vacancy did not allow some to be considered.
The board of education says the vacancy was announced May 7, the day after school board member Cindy Miller submitted her resignation because of family health issues. But longtime Elbert County resident Norm Happel says the opening wasn't announced on the district's website until May 10, and the May 14 deadline to file letters of intent left only three business days for interested parties to put their name in for consideration.
Carol Hinds, who has two children in the district, was appointed to the position May 20. She was one of three applicants.
The Colorado Department of Education allows for up to 60 days to replace a board member, but the Elizabeth School District C-1 wanted to appoint a new director as soon as possible for collective decision-making on next year's budget, said Chuck Williams, who has served on the board for nearly four years.
Hinds was an ideal candidate because she served on the district accountability committee and has attended multiple school board meetings, Williams said.
While Happel does not discredit Hinds as an appropriate replacement for Miller, he questions the integrity of the process and says it appears the board already had its sights set on Hinds.
"The thing that's so disappointing is there were going to be other candidates, but they didn't get it in," said Happel, who says he was not among the hopefuls for the position. "They must do their best to announce and advertise the vacancy. I can't say for sure (the appointment) was preconceived, but it didn't give others the opportunity."
Williams said the board's actions were "well within the guidelines" set by the CDE and Colorado Association of School Boards. However, he acknowledged that the duration of the application period was shorter than most.
"Looking back on this, we could have maybe extended (the deadline) out," Williams said.
Hinds will fill the position until November, when an election will take place to fill that seat and two others. Those who aren't appointed or elected to the school board have the opportunity to join committees that help fulfill the district's mission, Williams said.
Williams referred to Happel as a "watchdog of the community" and said his intentions are good, but denied any wrongdoing in the appointment of Hinds and said the district is "trying to be as transparent as we can be."
The board is familiar with Hinds' background and Williams says she is there to serve students.
"I think we made the right decision," he said.
