Alcatel Blaze Glory OT-918N Specifications:
Chipset MTK 6573
650MHz processor
Android 2.3 Gingerbread
3.2" LCD with HVGA resolution
3MP camera
Wi-Fi b/g/n
Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP
G Sensor (Similar to Accelerometer)
|Press the "mic" icon for voice input
4 reasons why the Alcatel Blaze Glory 918N is a great buy:
|Press the "Globe" button to send using Globe. Press the "down" button to select other sim
|To call, choose which default sim to use
|Choose the default sim to use for data, SMS or calls!
Since the phone is HTC-like, I can't help but compare them. The HTC I tried was also running an Android system. It was the HTC Chacha. I thought that HTC Chacha was the perfect phone. Qwerty keypad, touch screen and android OS... but no! After a few weeks of trial, battery life was very very bad. Using WiFi, the phone wouldn't even last a day. What more if you are using 3G, right? With the Alcatel 918n, you get it for half the price of the HTC Chacha and you get a phone with a better battery life. I used 3G the whole day and there was some juice left for a few more hours.
Technically speaking, HTC Chacha has a bit of a larger RAM, but I can't seem to open some apps on the Chacha because it keeps on saying 'not enough memory' or a similar message to that. Even though I already closed most, If not all the apps, I still get that warning message. With the Alcatel Blaze Glory 918N, I never did encountered that. More or less, I used the same apps with both phones -- Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Browser and the messaging system. Apps run smoothly without complaints!
Siri, meet Iris. Iris, meet Siri. Honestly speaking, Siri is more advanced than Iris. Iris is similar to Siri but for Android and is present in the Alcatel 918n. With Iris, I can pretty much say that they are utilizing the Wolfram Alpha system (Available in iOS as an App). I guess Siri is too but Siri can access your phones messaging, phonebook and other features like alarm and calendar. With Iris, it can only do basic search and information inquiries. Here are some of the questions I tested with Iris:
For less than 6,000 pesos and having all these features, this phone is a steal! Since pinoys are price conscious and more and more are becoming brand conscious, the price point of the Alcatel is actually very afforadable, compared to some of the China phones and even some of the other branded phones out there!
Alcatel provided me with this review unit. While the phone is still with me, I am encouraging you to ask me questions so I can help you decide whether this phone is for you or not. I'm just a comment away. If you don't want to ask through the comment section, email me. My email is located on the left side bar of this blog.
Update: There is an existing GPS problem with this phone. Stay tuned for updated if this feature matters to you. Please join the discussion in the comments section below if you find a fix/work around/update.

Preparing for a wedding is something that takes a lot of patience and focus. There are many different aspects that go into a wedding making it one of the most important days of someone's life. Making sure that all of the small details are taken care of can ensure that a wedding will be a great success. When planning for a wedding, one of the most important individuals to remember is the photographer. The photographer is a huge part of the wedding who can really make or break that special day. This is why it is so important to find a great wedding photographer.
Finding a great wedding photographer can be a very easy thing to do. The first place that you will want to look for a great wedding photographer is within your own personal contacts. This is where you are going to get the best information about the quality of the photographer you are about to hire. Your friends who have recently had a wedding will be a great place to start. You can ask them all about the different services that this photographer provided and get a great general feel for the photographer's skill set. There are also many photographers that you can find online if you do not have any way of finding one within your contacts.
When you finally choose a certain photographer to take your photos, you need to start by taking your engagement photos. These engagement photos will share with the world the wonderful fact that you are getting married. It will also be a great way to invite family and friends to your big event. As soon as you have taken all of your engagement photos, you can begin to decide when you want to take your bridals. These photos will showcase the bride's beauty and also help you to remember the wonderful craftsmanship of this beautiful dress. Once you have the engagement photos and bridals taken, it is time to get ready for the big day. Meeting with your photographer before the wedding is a great way to make sure that you get all of your needs taken into consideration. Feel free to provide your photographer with a shot list if you have one in mind. This will allow you to rest assured that you are getting all of the photos that you want at the wedding.
When it comes to the big day, make sure that you are very patient with all of the requests from the photographer. Getting all of the beautiful pictures on your perfect day takes a lot of hard work from both the photographer and the couple. Working together in order to get these great photos taken will help the whole day go more smoothly. Make sure that you schedule enough time in order to get all of the pictures taken that you need. Don't try to schedule too many activities into the wedding, as this may encroach on the time that the photographer really needs in order to take the very best photos.
Wedding photos are a very important part of your big day, and having a great photographer on your side is going to help you have the very best photos taken. There is almost no other way that you can remember your day as well, and you will always cherish your photos as you grow further into your relationship.

I received a letter in the mail last week that I'm seriously considering framing and hanging on my wall.
A couple of weeks ago, I went in for my first round of blood tests following my first diagnosis of being "borderline pre-diabetic." I'd been on some medicine for about two months, had been working out for about three, so it was time for a check-up.
The letter held all of my results, and I'm delighted, happy, excited, estatic, thrilled and jumping for joy to say: I passed with flying colors!
Sugar, cholesterol, and other things that I don't understand – all good!
The only problem area is my "good" cholesterol, but my doctor gave me tips to raise that number.
But the biggies – sugar and "bad" cholesterol – were good.
This makes me happy.
This makes all of the sweat, blisters, tired muscles, salads and saying, "no, I can't have that" worth it!
Also: I've lost 31 pounds, and at 37 pounds I'll have reached exactly half of my weight loss goal.

Minimally Invasive Surgery
At the University of Chicago Medicine, our surgical program is led by recognized leaders in endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery -- the practice of performing surgical procedures through tiny cuts rather than long incisions.
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) offers many benefits over traditional techniques, including:
- Less pain
- Shorter hospital stays
- Quicker return to normal activities
- Minimal scarring
- Reduced recovery time
- Less injury to tissue
From the smallest newborns to senior citizens, we are able to offer minimally invasive surgeries as well as minimally and noninvasive diagnostic procedures. University of Chicago surgeons perform MIS procedures on a daily basis. Our combined level of expertise is unrivaled in the Midwest.
The University of Chicago Medicine currently uses the da Vinci Surgical System -- a high tech computer-enhanced system -- for all of our robotic MIS procedures. These procedures take place in our state-of-the-art surgical facility, which includes two specially constructed suites for minimally invasive surgery. The suites have unique features for visualization and ergonomic ease.
A multi-year grant funds the University of Chicago Center for Excellence in Minimally Invasive Surgery. This funding enables our surgeons to offer more innovative surgical options, often before they are available at other hospitals.
Explore this site to learn more about how University of Chicago physicians are changing the face of surgery -- for the better.

Support Announcement:
|Research,Project Work
|Linguistic Field:
Computational Linguistics
Language Acquisition
|Application Deadline:
|Supporting Institution:
|Macquarie University
|LL Issue:
|Support Description:
Several PhD positions are available. A first-class Honours degree or a Masters
degree plus publications are generally required for admission. Good English and
writing skills are essential.
Deadline for applications: August 31, 2012 (or until filled)
Start date: January-June, 2013
1. The Child Language Lab at Macquarie University's Centre for Language
Sciences has several positions for PhD students to conduct research on
phonological and morphological development. We are especially interested in
those with strong quantitative, experimental, and phonetics background to explore
issues in early speech perception and production in typical, language/hearing
impaired, bilingual, and L2 populations.
The Centre for Language Sciences (CLaS) is housed in the Linguistics Department
at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. It has close connections with the
Department of Cognitive Science, and is part of the new Centre of Excellence for
Cognition and its Disorders. All will be soon housed in the Australian Hearing Hub -
a state-of the art hearing and language research 'hub', with MEG, EEG, infant
speech perception lab, language production lab (including ultrasound), eye-
tracking, computational linguistics expertise, and many other research facilities.
Contact Professor Katherine Demuth katherine.demuth mq.edu.au
or see http://www.ling.mq.edu.au/cll/ for more information.
The following two PhD projects are housed in the Department of Computing,
working closely with an interdisciplinary team of researchers in the Linguistics
Department and Macquarie University's Centre for Language Sciences. Applicants
should have a good background in mathematics and computer science, and be
willing to learn linguistics as required.
2. The first project involves developing computational models of human language
acquisition. These models will be used to study synergies in the acquisition of one
or more of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. The work
involves novel computational approaches to modeling language acquisition,
including hierarchical non-parametric Bayesian techniques.
3. The second project involves incremental syntactic parsing and coreference
resolution. This project has both engineering and psycholinguistic implications, and
the candidate can choose which to focus on. For example, incremental syntactic
parsing and coreference resolution could be coupled with a speech recognition
system as part of an on-line speech recognition and interpretation system. It could
also be used to make predictions about on-line sentence comprehension as part of
a psycholinguistic model.

State of Union Tonight
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Tonight's State of the Union address will reflect President Barack Obama's focus on nation-building at home.
He will use the speech to call for more spending on infrastructure and manufacturing. And he will also announce the withdrawal of 34,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan within a year.
That will cut the size of the U.S. troop presence there in half by next February -- putting the U.S. on pace to formally end the war there by the end of next year.
That won't be the only foreign policy issue Obama will mention tonight. In the aftermath of the latest North Korean nuclear test today, an aide says Obama will make the case that the North's nuclear program has only served to further isolate that country.
Obama is expected to spend the bulk of his time tonight on the economy and job creation. The economic blueprint he will discuss will have many of the elements Americans have heard before -- embracing manufacturing, energy development and education.
And as he speaks, many of the faces looking down from the House galleries will be those of Americans who've been thrust into the politics of gun violence.
First lady Michelle Obama will sit with the parents of a Chicago teen who was shot and killed just days after she performed at the president's inauguration. And Republican congressman Steve Stockman says he's invited rocker ted Nugent, a long-time gun control opponent.

not up to gucci standards
"I bought this in two colors. The brick red actually had some white patches where the leather appeared to be scraped and showed white --maybe the dye didn't take correctly? The purple had no white patches. The shoe is comfortable and a 6 1/2 fit as my other gucci shoes. Very easy to walk in considering heel---I needed purple to go with a Jimmy Choo purple solar hobo bag and a coat that I sometimes wear. I don't want to spend a lot on a purple shoe and the price was right----but the leather does not look like the quality of most gucci leathers and the heel is just plastic no leather wrap. The sole is really slippery--you will need to buy the rough peel and stick bottoms or you will go flying on carpet. Just an ok shoe----If another top designer had a slim high heel in purple, I would have paid a little more and gone for that. I still might return this----it just doesn't look like a high quality leather or designer even with the nameplate. I know it is Gucci, but it reminds me of a canal street special in new york. It is a DSW exclusive maybe that is influencing me, but I don't think so."

"Americans recognized that we had to adapt to a world in which a bomb could be built in a basement and our electric grid could be shut down by operators an ocean away. And yet, in our rush to respond to very real and novel threats, the risks of government overreach—the possibility that we lose some of our core liberties in pursuit of security—became more pronounced. The reforms I'm proposing today should give the American people greater confidence that their rights are being protected, even as our intelligence and law-enforcement agencies maintain the tools they need to keep us safe."
President Obama on Friday outlined a series of reforms to the National Security Agency. Obama argued for the NSA to give up control of its database that holds millions of Americans' phone metadata — which includes call times, lengths and durations. However, he did not outline a specific proposal on where to store the information, either with telephone companies or a third party.
"Well I think what I heard was if you like your privacy you can keep it, but in the meantime, we are going to keep collecting your phone records, texts messages and likely your credit card information."
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky) applauded Obama's rhetoric but said the reforms were just window dressing, and the issue would eventually have to be decided by the Supreme Court.
"The giant federal budget bill that Congress passed late Thursday will cost taxpayers nearly $3 million per word, or if you want to really think big, almost $700 million per page. The bill authorizes $1.1 trillion in spending. It is 1,582 pages long. An Internet word counting program said it has 370,445 words, numbers and symbols. So simple math comes up with $2.9 million per word average and $695 million per page average, though different parts of the budget package spend more than others sections. By comparison, there are only 4,543 words in the U.S. Constitution, before amendments, and 1,458 words in the Declaration of Independence."
The Associated Press
"Nobody did!"
Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) when asked whether he read the 1,528-page, $1.1 trillion government spending bill before he voted for it.
"How does this President regain his heroic stature?"
Chris Matthews
"ObamaCare has always counted on the mass irrationality of young people."
George Will
While Matt Lauer worried that Robert Gates's criticism of President Obama was "dangerous or dishonorable" on Monday's NBC Today, when disgruntled ex-Bush administration officials wrote memoirs bashing the former president in 2004 and 2008, the network morning show happily cheered them on.
On January 13, 2004 – exactly ten years prior to Lauer's Monday interview with Gates – then-Today co-host Katie Couric hyped former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill's attacks on President George W. Bush in a new tell-all: "I think if I can sort of try to assess your description, as policy having no process, kind of being put together willy-nilly. You do describe him as 'a blind man in a room full of deaf people.'"
On May 29, 2008, then-co-host Meredith Vieira conducted an interview with former White House press secretary Scott McClellan about his anti-Bush memoir and actually urged him to offer harsher criticism against his former boss.
One of the emotions I felt while watching the film is, first of all, just the hopelessness of the situation, how horrific it was and also just all that loss of life of these brave American men. And I was torn about the message of the film in the same way that I think I am about the war in Afghanistan itself. I don't want any more senseless American death and at the same time I know that there are dead people there and good people who need help. Was that intentional?"
CNN anchor Jake Tapper questioning Afghanistan veteran Marcus Luttrell, the real life lone survivor portrayed in the new movie "Lone Survivor"
"Well, I don't know what part of the film you were watching, but hopelessness really ever came into it. Where did you see that? We never felt like we were hopelessly lost or anything like that. We never gave up. We never felt like we were losing unless we were actually dead. That never came across in the battle and while we were fighting on the mountain and it was just us against them.
"We spend our whole lives defending this country so you tell me because we were over there doing what we were told to do was senseless and they died for nothing?
"So, let me just say that, yes, it went bad for us over there but that was our job. That's what we did. We didn't complain about it. We went out there and did what we did best and at the end, we weren't standing. They were. We were lucky. I was lucky. And the rest of the guys, we fought as hard as we possibly could. Never felt sorry for ourselves while we were out there. This was a job we were going after a high value target and, you know, it got switched on us."
Marcus Luttrell responding to Tapper
"The troops believed and still believe that they were being successful in their mission. So I think they were able, to a certain extent, to set aside the politics here at home. When you have somebody like the Senate Majority Leader (Harry Reid) come out in the middle of the surge and say 'this war is lost', I thought that was one of the most disgraceful things I've heard a politician say. That sends a riveting message to kids who are putting their lives on the line every day that they're doing it for nothing and that was absolutely not the case."
Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates
"(The former head of the Department of Transportation Ray) LaHood stated, "Because people are driving less, driving more fuel-efficient cars, and the gas tax hasn't been raised in many years" we are running out of money in the Highway Trust Fund. Isn't that exactly what the government wanted us to do? How much money was spent by the government in order to promote these fuel-efficient vehicles and support public transportation? And now that we have actually adapted to these ideas, we are going to be punished with higher taxes. That just doesn't make sense Mr. LaHood.
"Also, if people are driving less, why are the roads in need of so many repairs? And what about all the stimulus money that went to road projects? According to LaHood, 'America is one big pothole.' Well isn't he nice?"
Heather Ginsberg, Townhall.com
"Those of us in the travel industry are watching closely. We know practical immigration reform in America is good for our industry…As unemployment inches downward, we also need a functioning immigration system that helps us staff positions that might otherwise go unfilled, especially in our seasonal resorts."
Arne Sorenson, President and CEO at Marriott International
"It's one thing to be confident. It's another to be smug.
"Listening to Mike McCarthy, Aaron Rodgers and others last week, it would appear as if the Green Bay Packers think they can just roll the balls out next season and be a prime contender for the Super Bowl.
"All this stuff about finishing strong and overcoming adversity has to stop.
"The Packers didn't finish strong. They were on their home field in their kind of weather and in ideal position to beat a powerful foe in the playoff opener. Then they blew it in the last six minutes.
"They also didn't overcome adversity. The Packers lose their starting quarterback for the first time in 21 years and are proud of going 2-5-1 against a soft schedule (five at home) without him?
"Let's be clear about something else. The NFC North championship was more about the Detroit Lions pulling a colossal fold than the Green Bay Packers doing anything wonderful."
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob McGinn in a scathing review of the 2013 Green Bay Packers season
"'Progressive' Democrats are kind of like the 'Affordable Health Care Act.' When Democrats adapt a branding statement, expect the opposite."
Pro wrestling executive Eric Bischoff
"Did you all watch the Golden Globes last night? [Applause] Tina Fey, Amy Poehler very funny. Boy, they are just the best. Of course, the big winner, the big winner was 'American Hustle,' a film about the marketing of ObamaCare." I thought that was fascinating. [Laughter and applause]

Multipurpose Lovely Clutch.
"For those times that you do not feel like taking a tiny clutch, this is apt. It is bogus and can take a few items conveniently (phones, keys and make up tools). You'll love it. Fantastic! My sister bought the tan, I went for the black. I could hardly make a choice between the two colours."

The Past, Present and Future of Shareholder Activism by Hedge Funds

University of Cambridge Faculty of Law Research Paper No. 38/2011
The forthright brand of shareholder activism hedge funds deploy emerged by the mid-2000s as a major corporate governance phenomenon. This paper explains the rise of hedge fund activism and offers predictions about future developments. The paper begins by distinguishing the "offensive" form of activism hedge funds engage in from "defensive" interventions "mainstream" institutional investors (e.g. pension funds or mutual funds) undertake. Variables influencing the prevalence of offensive shareholder activism are then identified using a heuristic device, "the market for corporate influence". The rise of hedge funds as practitioners of offensive shareholder activism is traced by reference to the "supply" and "demand" sides of this market, with the basic chronology being that, while there were direct antecedents of hedge fund activists as far back as the 1980s, hedge funds did not move to the activism forefront until the 2000s. The paper brings matters up-to-date by discussing the impact of the recent financial crisis on hedge fund activism and draws upon the market for corporate influence heuristic to predict that activism by hedge funds is likely to remain an important element of corporate governance going forward.

My goal in becoming a licensed counselor is help those whose lives are spinning out of control. I work from a spiritual perspective as well as from the best training in empirically supported counseling techniques. Being a believer is not a prerequisite to seeking my services as it is always the choice of the counselee whether spiritual issues will be part of the counseling. I primarily work from an Attachment perspective when dealing with couples and relationship problems. Generally, I tailor my specific counseling technique to the individual's personality, issues and life situation. I worked for many years for a state agency before returning to graduate school. I have raised 2 daughters and 2 stepdaughters. I have grandchildren. My current marriage has lasted 16 years. I am an active member of my church. I enjoy gardening, sewing and reading.

Hello! I have been working with mental health since 2003 starting with child welfare, hospice, medical social work, high risk adolescents, family, acute geriatric psychiatric issues, military and dependents, and family practice. I find people respond best with several different types of therapies --- what works for one may not work for another and I blend in several for each client, including humor. I believe life is full of challenging spots (career change, new baby, maintenance of home/vehicle, medical bills, illness, relationship problems, etc) that we all tend to get caught up in and how we cope with the challenge steers our stress to being balanced or out of control. Mood swings, anxiety, isolation, appetite changes, anger issues (to name a few) are symptoms that we are needing to recognize we are overwhelmed with too many concerns, this is what brings people to get assistance from a therapist because those symptoms are uncomfortable. Life delivers joys and challenges and with a little clarity we can get ourselves back in balance through talking things through and applying some simple skills to soften the hard spots to make a better tomorrow.

Dave Grohl has made a film about Sound City, the legendary LA studio where Nevermind was recorded. The Foo Fighter tells Craig McLean about his bromance with Macca and guarding Nirvana's legacy
In May 1991, Nirvana turned up at Sound City recording studio in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. Two years earlier, their first album, Bleach, had failed to chart. Now a major label had given them $65,000 to record their follow-up. But it was not a promising beginning.
"We were very underwhelmed," Dave Grohl laughingly remembers of the day that he, Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic first arrived at Sound City to begin work on the album that would become Nevermind. The trio had driven down from Seattle, full of expectation. "But look," Grohl shrugs, "we weren't accustomed to state-of-the-art recording facilities.

Senator Orrin Hatch recently introduced three Utah public lands bills for quick action in the United States Senate. All three bills passed in the 108th Congress, and Hatch hopes they will be reported out of the Senate Energy Committee in the near future.
Hatch's first bill would recognize Utah's pioneer heritage by giving federal designation to alternate routes used by the Mormon pioneers, the Pony Express, California and Oregon National trails.
"These trails are the highways of our history," said Hatch. "This legislation will help to preserve the stories of the early pioneers who settled in Utah and throughout the West."
Since the enactment of the National Trails System Act in 1968, public support has grown for broadening the law to include alternate routes branching off the main trails. Hatch's proposal would allow the National Park Service to update the Pony Express, the Oregon, the California, and the Mormon National Historic Trails to include variant routes taken by the early pioneers of the West. Tens of thousands of pioneers embarked on their journey from a number of different locations. These trail variations are examples of the great ingenuity and adaptability of the of the pioneers in dealing with inclement weather, lack of water, terrain, and other threats.
"These variant routes taken by the pioneers tell important stories that would otherwise slip through the cracks under a strict interpretation of the National Trail Systems Act," Hatch added.
Hatch's second bill would transfer Minersville State Park ownership to Beaver County, helping alleviate the financial burden the current owner, the State of Utah, faces in maintaining the park.
"This park now features more than $1 million worth of park facilities, and I believe the intensive, day to day management of this park can be best accomplished by local officials," Hatch said. "If "Beaver County acquires the property, it will continue to make this park an excellent recreational refuge, a superb fishery, and a great place to visit."
For more than 40 years the State of Utah managed the area known as Minersville State Park. Faced with closing the park due to budget shortfalls, the State agreed in 2002 to transfer park management to Beaver County. However, the Bureau of Land Management noted that the property itself had not been acquired through the Recreation and Public Purposes Act process, which would restrict Beaver County's park management plan. Hatch's legislation would remove those restrictions by transferring the park ownership to Beaver County.
Hatch's third bill would provide a dramatically better regulatory framework for extracting natural gas from Utah's tar sands without impacting relevant environmental laws and regulations. Historically, extracting natural gas from tar sands has required a dual application requiring both a permit for gas extraction and mineral extraction. Hatch's bill would allow a company only going after the gas to forgo the permit for mineral extraction. "My bill is a common sense approach to increasing the nation's natural gas supply," Hatch said. "Our nation's economic advisors agree that the natural gas shortage harms the economy, and this bill will open the development of Utah's abundant natural gas and oil resources without circumventing existing environmental safeguards."

And lest we forget, Lea's NEW NOSE.
Love Dot Jones she has been around forever. Loved her on Married W. ChildrenReplyCancel
I love Jane Lynch! Naya needs to pull her head up, looking kinda neckless? How is it even possible that the 100th episode is only now?? Feels like it has bee on FOREVERReplyCancel
Mad love for agron.ReplyCancel
Have nothing but contempt for Michele. Cory Monteith's famly will be grieving his death for the rest of their lives and this asshole is out doing PR for the music she recorded about their fake love.
Naya looks to have made the common mistake of getting too big of a boob job. It stretches the skin too much, and makes the tits look and feel unnaturally hard.
Dianna Agron is maybe gay and she makes my tinkler tingle.
Don't know who Heather Morris is but apparently some pics got cough leaked cough.ReplyCancel
those boobies look painful…..Lea Michele makes me stabby and i don't know whyReplyCancel
New bewbsReplyCancel
@headrot Everything Okay?ReplyCancel
My guess is she gave birthReplyCancel
@leek no, i've been bedridden since early last week with a whole host of illnesses (first shingles…at 28! then tonsilitis, then some unidentified viral infection). it's been really pathetic. i havent even had the solid energy to get on the computer until today. i've been sleeping 10+ hours for the past 2 weeks. i feel so useless 🙁
missed out on over a weeks worth of work. rough beats when youre an hourly wage worker. also put me way behind on my research papers which is miserable.
i'm surprised you asked and even noticed i was gone! lolReplyCancel
Still love Glee and I don't care. Everyone looks great, but Naya *is* morphing into KK.ReplyCancel
Naya is obviously going to the same plastic surgeon as the Kardashian clan.ReplyCancel
Maya is- jho ktrash hybrid- she looked better before.ReplyCancel
Err.. nayaReplyCancel
@headrot No reason, just hadn't seen you for a few days. OMG that is terrible! Shingles are the worst. I thought our tonsils were supposed to be our friends.ReplyCancel
Definitely not a fashion event oh my.ReplyCancel
Yeah, those are old new breasts, going back to season 2. I think that dress is padded and just pushes them up and in, for some reason. Doesn't look comfortable.
Lea didn't write any of the songs on her album, so she's not singing about any of her own relationships. Well, she cowrote one or two I suppose, but no, those are all other people's words.
This show doesn't even need to come back next season, no one would notice. The whole cast is just phoning it in now, the episodes are completely lifeless, and Ryan Murphy has lost interest. He's got a Rob Lowe like attention span when it comes to his own TV projects.ReplyCancel
I'm sad to hear Jane Lynch changed the spelling of her name. :/
I wonder if Naya knows Kanye is taken. (Is he taken?) I haven't watched Glee since, I think the second or third season, so I get Lilo bored face when I see them until JANE LYNCH! (Sorry, JAYNE LYNCH!) I aspire to drop one-liners like Sue.ReplyCancel
Hey Jane and and Amber!
That's all I got.ReplyCancel
Naya used to be so cute, she's done something to her face, not sure what but it's not great, she's lost her softness. Maybe it's the hairstyle. Or the overuse of shadow/highlightingReplyCancel
naya didnt need to do a thing to her body. she was flawless. still hot but she cheapened her look. leah michelle is so desperate for attention, lolReplyCancel

Shoes Fell Apart!!!
"I wanted these shoes badly, so badly that I ordered them from Slovenia, to be delivered to my boyfriend in Illinois. He had carried them when he came to visit for Christmas. Carrying them in his luggage meant that he had to compromise and pack less as they are long boots, but he did it because I was smitten with them. They were cozy, and quickly became my go to boots to get me through winter, but sadly after only three months of wearing them the rubber toe tore. Being abroad I couldn't return them, and had past the warranty time. I am really disappointed because they were great boots, and there is no DSW or Sperry store here, I am also disappointed because at the time I bought them they cost over $160. Thats a lot of money for boots that fall apart within a couple of months..."

Didn't Work For Me
"I really wanted these boots to work. Normally, duck boots are falling off my feet. I wear between and 51/2 and 6, and 6 in boots or sneakers so I ordered the 6. I tried these on with extremely thin ankle socks and they were so tight in the foot part that I have no choice but to return them. Other reviewers mentioned that you don't have to wear socks with them. I would never not wear socks with winter boots, and even without socks they are still too tight. Also, they are cut very tall. I am short, but own about seven pairs of high boots by other brands and none of them hit over my knee the way these do. They are beautiful but they are not for everyone. Also, they arrived to my house with the rubber part covered in dust. The arrows on the top of the review will not slide over since I'm doing this on my phone, but these shoes are definitely cut very small and very tall."

Great boots
"I love Sperry, they are always built well and hold up nicely. I have narrow feet and skinny calves and can never find boots that fit my legs. These fit great! I'm 5'6, 115 and they are awesome. I wear between a 7 and 8 and 7.5 is great. If you have small calves they are a good choice, but I think with larger calves maybe the shorter boot or a different brand may be better."
By: BombSALLIE

"I can run anywhere from a size 9 to a 10. The 9-1/2 fits perfect even with or without socks. I would order a 1/2 size larger in case you plan on wearing thick winter socks. I am 5'-8", 115 lbs, and these are VERY snug around my calves, which is awesome for waterproofing, but not if you have calves on the larger side.Other than that, they are super warm and comfortable. They can go with any outfit - casual or dressed up. Waiting for a snow storm so I can wear them!"

Filtered cigars are frequently mistaken for cigarettes. They aren't meant to be inhaled like cigarettes and instead have to be smoked much like premium cigars. Each of these smokes is equipped with a filter that enhances smoothness, while protecting your lips from excessive discoloration. These cigars offer a smoke that's similar in quality to that of traditional cigars. Filtered cigars are made with high-quality tobaccos that are usually aged and fermented. This results in a stronger smoke that lasts longer than your average cigarette. They're sold in packs similar to those of cigarettes and have a similar filter and wrapper, so you can see why it's easy to get confused between the two. Unlike traditional cigars that need to be smoked in a luxurious and laid-back manner, the tinier filtered cigars are meant for those times when you're on the go.
When it comes to flavor infusions, filtered cigars definitely have an edge over traditional cigars. They are available in a wide variety of unique flavors including vanilla, peach, strawberry, menthol, watermelon and more. These cigars not only taste great but also offer tantalizing aromas. Filtered cigars are usually machine-made with short fillers. Some of the popular brands that make filtered cigars are Prime Time, King Edward, Cheyenne, Phillies Filters, Djarum and Wrangler, among others. Pair these mild and aromatic smokes with a coffee in the morning or a light alcoholic drink in the evening.

AC Milan complete Balotelli deal
Mario Balotelli has completed his much-hyped move from Manchester City to AC Milan.
- Related Content
9. Mario Balotelli
|16 (2)
Both clubs have confirmed the Italy striker has concluded the formalities of the reported £19million switch and signed a four-and-a-half year contract.
The deal brings to an end an extraordinary spell at City in which Balotelli attracted as many headlines for off-field controversies as for his performances on it.
The 22-year-old, who has already been pictured in Rossoneri colours after a chaotic arrival back in his homeland, will officially be presented as a Milan player on Friday evening.
Balotelli missed City's game at QPR on Tuesday after a price was agreed with Milan which, rising to £22million, leaves the English champions just short of the £24million they paid Inter Milan for him in 2010.
The news sparked huge interest in Italy and Balotelli was swamped by reporters, photographers and fans as he arrived at a clinic in Milan to undergo his medical on Wednesday.
There were also reports of police being called to disperse unruly crowds outside a restaurant where he met club officials.
Balotelli returned to the club's offices on Thursday morning to formally sign the deal.
A statement read: "AC Milan announces that it has acquired from Manchester City Mario Balotelli, who has signed a contract until June 30, 2017."
Balotelli made a huge impression at City - not always for footballing reasons - but he played key roles in the FA Cup win of 2011 and last year's title success.
He told City's website, www.mcfc.co.uk: "For sure I will remember my brilliant team-mates, the manager and all the supporters.
"They are the best, they were great with me and I will always have a very special place in my heart for City, it's a great club with a great future.
"I thank them for all of their support of me. Maybe one day we will see each other again."
Balotelli had been linked with Milan throughout the month but City continually played down the prospect of him leaving.
But with senior figures at Milan continuing to discuss the possibility of a deal, rumours of his departure continued.
Eventually, Milan's interest proved tempting for all parties.
Balotelli paid tribute to City manager Roberto Mancini as he left.
Mancini was often heavily critical of his fellow Italian but, ultimately, was fiercely loyal and forgave him for many of his indiscretions.
Balotelli said: "Yes, I said goodbye to everyone at the meal in London before the game at QPR. It was very emotional for me.
"I spoke with Roberto before I went to speak to the players.
"We spoke for some time about lots of things. He was sad, and I was too.
"But it was a good conversation. I love Roberto, he has been very important for my career, and I will always thank him for having trust and faith in me.
"Being at City was an important part of my life and career. I needed to grow up like a player and as a person and it has been a very good experience for me."
Balotelli scored 30 goals in 80 appearances for City and his contribution to their success was not insignificant, but he will be equally well remembered for four red cards, clashes with team-mates, brushes with discipline and other misdemeanours.
He never regained a starting place after a dismal performance in the derby defeat by Manchester United on December 9 through a combination of illness and selection issues.
There then followed a high-profile challenge to a club fine for indiscipline, which he later dropped, and a much-publicised training-ground fight with Mancini.
Mancini promised to give the player "another 100 chances" after that but less than four weeks later his time at the club has come to an end.
Balotelli said: "I will always be interested in Manchester City and their fortunes.
"I really hope that City can win the league again this year and beat United.
"I think there are great players at the club and a great manager too.
"The club will be very successful in the future and that makes me happy."

1990: Born August 12 in Palermo to Ghanaian immigrants.

Two homers and a shutdown pitching performance helped the Harrisburg Lady Bulldogs advance to the semifinals of the Johnston City Class 2A regional with a 6-0 win at home over Hamilton County in a quarterfinal contest Monday afternoon.
Junior hurler Hanna Jones went 4-for-4 and homered as four-seed Harrisburg (12-19) took down the No. 5 seed Lady Foxes (6-22).
"I thought we played well defensively," said Harrisburg coach Red Stafford. "Hanna (Jones) pitched a good ball game, and defensively we've played much better the last few games than we have the regular season. That's the name of the game. You've got to be able to play a little defense and that's what we did today."
Jones struck out eight and walked only one while scattering eight hits in the complete game.
Catcher Brittany Reynolds also went deep for the Lady Bulldogs and junior Kaitlyn Hutchison drove in two runs.
Harrisburg sent seven to the plate in the third inning and led 3-0 after the frame. Reynolds' long ball in the fifth extended the HHS lead to four runs before Harrisburg plated two more in the sixth.
"The top part of our order, for the most part, has hit well all year," said Stafford. "We've done a good job scoring runs at the top of the order, and the bottom of the order has got to come through for us and score some runs in the postseason for us to go anywhere."
Carly Sullivan took the loss for Hamilton County. The Lady Foxes left six runners on base for the day and lost a runner at the plate in the second inning.
Alexa Burtis and Hailey Quinn added hits for the Lady Bulldogs.
Harrisburg will take on top-seed Carmi-White County Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 at Johnston City. Carmi beat Harrisburg, 12-4, earlier this spring.
Carmi ended Harrisburg's season in the regional finals last spring.
West Frankfort 6, Eldorado 2
WEST FRANKFORT - The Eldorado High School softball team saw its season come to an end Monday in the first round of the Johnston City Class 1A Regional.
Michaela Laswell took the loss in the circle as she pitched six innings and gave up six runs (four earned), while striking out five and walking five.
The Redbirds staked to a 3-0 lead after four innings, before Eldorado started its rally by scoring a run in the top of the fifth and sixth inning, but the rally was thwarted due in part to a three-run bottom of the sixth by the Redbirds.
Eldorado had just four hits on the day as Caitlyn Stafford, Charley Lowery, Ashton Unthank and Laswell all had a hit.Stafford and Laswell scored the two runs for Eldorado.

All Saints Day, Christian
All Saints Day
Christians celebrate all their saints and martyrs on November 1. The tradition began in 4th century and is possibly related to the pagan tradition called Feast of the Lemurs that was held in honor of all the dead.
Throughout history numerous dates were designated for honoring different Christian saints. Eventually, due to a large number of saints November 1 was chosen for remembering all of them and showing gratitude for their help and appreciation for Jesus Christ.
For Roman Catholics tradition was started by Pope Bonface IV who, upon receiving the Pantheon at Rome from The Emperor Phocas dedicated it to all the martyrs. The celebration itself took place on May 13.
The Orthodox Church followed suggestion by St. Chrysoston of Constantinopole to honor the saints on the first Sunday after Pentecost which falls at the end of Easter season. Bishop of Rome, Gregory III moved the All Saints' Day to Novemebr 1, and around 835 Gregory IV officially ordered the holiday to be celebrated on this day by all Christians.

Skip to comments.McCain to pro-lifers: State your position, then leave the issue alone
Posted on 11/27/2012 5:57:00 PM PST by NKP_Vet
Former presidential nominee John McCain is urging Republicans to confine their support for the unborn to rhetoric but abandon thoughts of enacting new legislation.
Appearing on Fox News Sunday over the weekend, the Arizona senator said the GOP needs a bigger tent to be successful in presidential elections, and part of that means dropping social issues important to conservatives.
Echoing the talking point that men should not weigh in on a female issue McCain said, I dont think anybody like me then pointed to himself before changing gears abruptly. I can state my position on abortion, but other than that, leave the issue alone, when we are in the kind of economic situation and, frankly, national security situation were in.
(Excerpt) Read more at lifesitenews.com ...
RO to McCain: My position is for you to shut the hell up.
we must keep sacrificing our progeny to molech, the economy sucks and the middle east is about to blow....
you freaking putzes didn't do squat about stopping abrtion when times were good and you had the power. don't give me this crap john, i ain't buying it and nobody else is either.
Him and Rmney etc
The problem is the party and the base did turn out and vote.
It just encourages more of this crap
I saw him say this.
McCain has a new book coming out: An Excuse For All Seasons.
Another sit down and SHUT UP moment from Mr. bi-partisan.
Dear John,
f*** you.
How is it a "female issue" when roughly 50% of those being aborted are male?!?!
McCain, state your position and go away.
McCain, go back to Hanoi!
McCain doesn't have any principles, so he has difficulty understanding anyone who does. He also doesn't understand that the problems he regards as important won't be affected by him, one way or the other. McCain is to the economy as a blowfly is to sun spots. The same goes for national security. He is irrelevant. So there McCain, state your opinion, and then go find some geriatric hobby that will keep you out of the way.
Hanoi John running at the mouth again...playing his "(Bleep) The Base" BS garbage
These RINO PhonyCons need to go
That's the way to bring the Catholics in.
Its kinda depressing when the last two GOP presidential races have resulted in our nominees being liberal democrats.
Hey McCain,
Do your job.
Give the issue back to the states like it was, and then 'leave the issue alone'.
I'm beginning to think illegal immigration is God's way of replacing a population that has abandoned Him. They have produced children while we have sacrificed our future generations on the alter of sexual gratification.
Every time you say, "we need to be more inclusive", you follow it with a silent "and you need to shut up or leave".
Big tents don't stand well if you kick out all the main supports.
The GOP needs leaders to win presidential elections. McCain, you are not a leader and never will be. Go back to kissing Harry Reid's @ss.
Little Meghan must be giving Daddy hell and we sure do want a tent big enough to include her, now don't we!
McCain and shallow people like him think we can just ignore abortion, and tend to "more important" issues.
They are wrong. Legal abortion means that both the Declaration and Constitution are DEAD, and the country will consequently collapse.
I am all for bigger tents. However, we need to not have our center pole be the abortion issue - many poeple, especially women, do not vote for a candidate based on how they view abortion. IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID! Make the economy/fiscal responsibility the center pole and you get more votes. IMO, Romeny should have been pounding this into the heads of every American. Every single ad should have been on fiscal responsibility and how the govt is so out of touch with how households are managed. Until the right does that, they will continue to lose to a bunch of idiots who say what needs to be said to win an election.
A pity McStain wasn't left behind in Hanoi.
"State your position, then leave the issue alone".
How 'bout REPRESENTING your constituents—ya know—those that pay your salary? I'd wager the majority of us don't wish to SUBSIDIZE others sins. Pay for your own control or keep your legs closed (very cheap alternative.)
Wonder how many abortions his spawn has gotten over her lifetime.
Keep putting your energies into the GOP and keep going nowhere.
It is not a conservative party and regards the rank and file who are as abject fools.
McCain must have never been a fetus.
That double yellow line can be a lonely place can't it, Johnnie?
RINO's only gain a spine when they are attacking conservatives and their principles. With liberals, they turn to jellyfish.
This is precisely why they can never be relied upon when the rubber meets the road.
John McCain is a Democrat.
Not the first time McCain has betrayed the weak and defenseless.
Back in the days, he agreed to chair the POW-MIA committee, and used his POW creds to betray his fellow POWs in return for political power and profit.
Every now and then McCain says something I like but mostly he just irritates the heck out of me.
confine their support for the unborn to rhetoric but abandon thoughts of enacting new legislation."
Faith w/o works is dead.
Life at Conception Act: Rand Paul's Bold Plan to End Abortion via Roe v. Wade
useless puke...
FYI __ PING: " - - - and part of that means dropping social issues important to conservatives. - - - "
Maybe this should say NO WAY IN HEAVEN! I feel that Jesus weeps daily as he sees another little life snuffed out because someone doesn't want to be "punished" with a baby.
As much as I detest zero, I'm almost glad McCain didn't get the win. Who does he think he is telling us to leave this issue alone?
McCain just go away.
Shut up if you can't go away.
Another illustration of an undeniable truth: There is no further point to the Republican party. Probably, too, there is very little hope for the country as a whole because it is more likely that the USA will implode than that a principled conservative party will emerge any time in the foreseeable future.
John, you're assuming two things: First, that the folks who believe that will be satisfied to leave it at that. Second, even if they are, that the people who are against them will let them leave it at that.
You know what happens when you assume, don't you?
We dodged a bullet when he lost the election.
You see what McCain really is - wait until you find out what Romney really is.
Next time we'll get even a more liberal candidate which is probably Jeb Bush and most on this forum will vote for him and trash those who don't. There will never be another conservative president.
Prepping is the only answer to life in the near and distant future. I am concentrating on that since liberals own this country from now on. My personal world will be okay due to preps - I don't know what the rest of the world will be.
Hmmm, seems that Mitt made the economy the central issue of his campaign, and we all know how that turned out. The leftists voted on social issues and ignorance of how our government works. The stupids think that zero has the power to do anything he wants or campaigns on. If he had his way - he would - and he still might before the end of his second term.
Oh Lord, how it pains me to write those words - second term. Ugh! It sounds like an eternity.
And what better expert at being "successful in presidential elections" could we have than John McCain?
Heil Hitler, Mr.Senile McInsane! No one is going to click their heels and salute you, IDIOT!!
Heil Hitler, Mr.Senile McInsane! No one is going to click their heels and salute you, IDIOT!!
I think he's saying; Be pro-life, vote pro-life, just don't campaign on the issue and make yourself a target.
That's probably not bad advice. There are a lot of ways to run as a conservative, and your base will know where you stand.
I've been here about as long as you, and get hammered every election cycle because I won't vote for the GOP liberal.
Rule #1. Don't kill babies. Don't support it, don't look the other way.
How hard is that?
We might get another conservative president, but I'm the eternal optimist. I'm certainly not putting any cash on that bet.

|In response to Re: New House, No Drainage
I once pulled a pair of shorts out of the sewer line.
: : Thanks for your fast response.
: : The call has been made and he is on his way, but I thought it might be wise to have an outside opinion as to possible causes of the problem before the plumber arrived.
: : Additionally, it makes me very nervous to have something like this happen right away - you wonder about the overall quality of construction and what unseen problems there may be.
: : Maybe it is just first time homebuyer jitters, but I thought having an unbiased opinion might be helpful.
: : : What is the problem? It is a new house so have the plumber who installed the system come out and fix it.
: : : : We moved into a brand new house 3 days ago, and from day 1 both bathrooms have been a disaster. Everything seems fine if you take a quick shower, wash hands, use toilet, but if you take a bath EVERYTHING but sinks in both bathrooms (opposite sides of house) backs up. Used spa tub and it drained half way when I heard gurgling noise. Toilet and shower backed up in same bath. Went to check other bathroom and found toilet backed up and sewage backed up into tub. Does not affect kitchen sink or dishwasher. Any idea what could cause this? We are leasing until we close on the house, which is supposed to be next week, so fast responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
: Don't get jittery yet. This could have nothing to do with the plumber or the kind of job he (or she) did. It is not uncommon for construction debris to get down drains in new construction.

More than three dozen Springfield residents joined city and state officials at the city council chambers Tuesday to address a recent University of Michigan study on segregation. The report claims the Metro-Springfield area, which the study describes as encompassing Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin counties, is one of the most racially segregated in the country. The study is cited in a draft report by the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission that will be released next week. The report acknowledges that while Springfield is the most ethnically diverse community in the region, its neighborhoods are not. Dave Gaby of the group Open Housing for Western Massachusetts says he's not surprised by the findings. He says today's housing patterns go back to after World War 2. At that time urban renewal, abetted by public funds and private practices, like red-lining or discriminatory lending, began changing what had previously been diverse neighborhoods.
"Even after the 1948 decision that banned racial covenants, there's definitely a move on the part of the banks and the real estate agencies to try to channel people into a segregated living pattern."
City Councilor Bud Williams, who called Tuesday's meeting, says he wants to address the issue further with other stakeholders to find innovative solutions to the housing issue, which he notes also affects schools, healthcare, shopping and crime in the city.
"The policies that the city uses to enhance the quality of life should be creative, should marry rich folk, poor folk together. Initiatives, sub-divisions that foster that kind of harmony that we don't have. That's what's missing here, the harmony isn't here."
But Williams and others at Tuesday's meeting added that it is also the responsibility of Springfield's overwhelmingly white neighboring communities in the Metro region to address segregation.
