Skip to comments.The bribe to silence Wright [Obamas team tried to buy his silence]
Posted on 05/13/2012 5:11:14 AM PDT by RobinMastersEdited on 05/13/2012 7:48:19 AM PDT by Sidebar Moderator. [history]
When sermons of Obamas Chicago pastor, Jeremiah Wright, surfaced during the Iowa primaries, it threatened to derail Obamas campaign. ABC aired one where Wright screamed, Goddamn America! Edward Klein interviewed Wright, who told him Obamas team tried to buy his silence.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Why not? He's an illegal, and his relatives here illegally get them.
"$150,000 doesnt buy silence."
For me, yeah it would, but for Jeremiah, no way.
Axelrod probably yanked the briber back to DNC realizing that they didn't need to offer Wright an Indian nickel.
The Stasi stenographers wouldn't report anything he would say anyways. Wright also knew that anything he said would just come back home to roost.
A little off point for sure, but have you read the book? Or has anyone here? I'd love to know if it is worth a read, has any new information or whatever....
BTW, thanks for posting the article.
At the time it was reported as being in a mostly white neighborhood, in a gated community. The home is 10,340-square-foot, and has four bedrooms, among many other extras. It cost $1.6 million to build. Trinity Church paid for the home, apparently taking out the loan from Shore Bank. Another article reports that the church's agreement with the bank added an additional $10 million dollar line-of-credit, which is probably the money paid Wright for his silence. This article explains that the property has since been sold to ATG Trust, a company that specializes in tax shelters, trusts, and investment management. That was done so Wright would be protected from having to pay taxes. Here's the link to the original article with pictures:
If you read the full interview, he was threatened that things would get worse, much worse.
I didn't take it as a threat towards Wright so much as saying that people would continue to publicize Wright's sermons and use them against Odrama. I could be wrong, but that's how I took it.
"Not sure that I get that one. I would suppose that there's irony in that, but then I wouldn't get that one either."
Not K-mart but Walmart. Not underwear, but socks.
He wasn't concerned about the press going after Wright, he cared about how it reflected on him. It truly is incredible and I pray more truth is revealed every day.
Interesting how it comes out now. Could he be wanting more hush money?
He's no different politically than the usurper. They both vote lockstep.
I'm sure Göring would have been better than Adolph too.
A vote for a nazi is still a vote for a nazi!
"No surprise Obama and his advisers would not want it looked into."
The chicago mob doesn't care now. Anything that shifts the focus off of the economy and barry's record as POTUS is fine with them. They calculate that they won in 2008 when a lot of this character stuff was known and they can win again if this is a main issue in the campaign.
I am going to vote the marxist kenyan out of the white house. You can strut and name call. Nobody cares.
That's right...and things did get much worst!
Maybe now we know what happened to Donald Young and the two other guys who were executed! Maybe that is what shut up Mr. Wright?
Not 'God Bless America', but 'God d*mn America'.
-Reverend Wright
OK....the big problem here is Obama is under the impression the things Wright says are true. I'm a little confused, though...since Obama conveniently claims to have not heard any of the important stuff.
Here comes the push for Hillary. If you start hearing about Zero's eligibility, it's a lock. From first black to first woman. How hard could it be?
"Will Barak be able to get unemployment benefits? Food stamps etc...Free lunches for the girls??"
from wiki
"The Secretary of the Treasury administers a (taxable) pension. It is equal to Executive Level I rate of pay, an executive department head's salary (currently $191,300). The pension begins immediately after a president's departure from office"
Nope, not Los Angeles, but in Lower Louisiana, as in the Bayou.
G_d cares.
You support a baby killer out of hatred/fear of another baby killer?
I KNOW right from wrong. Apparently you do not.
I agree with you CO...something's afoot.
....Why is all of this stuff coming out now? And Obama is not really putting up much of a fight-he doesn't even seem to care if he wins....and that is odd for someone who is as narcisstic as he is.
Just because HE can't be in power doesn't mean the Dems can't put someone else there who is on the same ship to Commie-topia....
And that would be Hillary.
I'm sure there are Dems who feel like WE do right now-they don't have much of a choice on who to vote for and don't like Obama anymore...and they might stay home.
So, it is possible for Hillary to come and save the day-for them. She's been awfully quiet....something's up.
What does it take to wakeup Americanswho still swallow the Democrat Pablum to the fact this Scumbag, Obama Hussein, is a corrupt and Murderous Foreign Fraud who makes the Black Panthers look like Saints sitting on the right hand of Our Lord and Savior??????? The Scumbag and his Handlers and Promoters are the Most Evil of SATAN's GOPHERS!!
This is why Romney shouldn't run from his religion, but embrace it. The LDS run the most Scout troops, are pro-family, and pro-America. It's a great contrast between Obama's BLT, his pro-homosexual agenda, and anti-Americanism.
It's going to end badly for the amateur...
President tied to Bill Ayers' radical leftist organization from age 11
"Morrissey points out that this makes Obama out to be a liar when he said he didn't listen to Wright's sermons for 20 years. He knew full well the kind of poison Wright had been spewing all those years. Chillingly, it also shows Obama agrees with his pastor "telling the truth" about America.
In case you haven't noticed, the press is ignoring both this story and the book. It will be interesting to see how the campaign responds and whether or not Wright confirms the allegation."

God bless you, ETL! It never fails that when there's a posted topic about Obama that screams "links to verifications/sources needed here", there you come with the goods - presented thoroughly and succinctly.
Glass is raised to you, with sincere thanks for your intelligence and dedication.
Wright is the gift that keeps on giving!
Well, at least candidate Obama didn't have to bribe the media to hide things. They did it willingly. There was no vetting of this Marxist. FORWARD!!!
Dude. Major?
The last election should have been about Rev Wright...This election should have been about Wright also.
Romney can not mention Wright because of his own cult membership
It`s a crying shame...
Sub-Saharan Supremacy is what Bill Ayers and Obama forced teachers in inner-city Chicago schools to be trained in, paid by the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Ayers and Obama were in charge of a bunch of money, with the challenge to use it to improve Chicago schools, and what they believed would improve schools was to teach the teachers to teach Black students that Blacks are supreme, that they are not Americans, and that America has raped them. See http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/225971/wright-101/stanley-kurtz
Obama PERSONALLY supported the ideology of the New Black Panthers to such an extent that he chose the teaching of that ideology as the way to IMPROVE Chicago schools. All the things they could have done with that money, and Barack Obama and Bill Ayers chose to teach Sub-Saharan Supremacy.
Possibly so they would have the ground troops for later domestic turmoil. The Black youths who beat a 50-year-old man with a hammer after attending a Trayvon rally were associated with the Yawhew bin Yahweh cult - which is a Sub-Saharan supremacy cult that just uses the name of a different "god" ("Yahweh") than The New Black Panther's "Allah".
Obama's ties to all this crap are much, much closer than simply introducing Kevin Bell (did I remember his name right?) before he gave a speech. He is personally implicated in requiring that inner-city teachers be trained in Sub-Saharan Supremacy, which is the ideology of Jeremiah Wright and of the Black Panthers (old and new). There is no way Obama can claim distance because he "missed those Sundays", because he personally chose to force this ideology onto Chicago teachers.
We can be pretty sure that Obama is not American unless he naturalized at some point. But why would he even WANT to take an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution, if he believed that America under that Constitution had raped millions of black persons - as he taught Chicago teachers to teach their students?
The only reason to take that oath is if he intended to break it. Taqiyya - lying in order to get power/position to advance the Muslim agenda. Which is what Obama told the Egyptian ambassador in January of 2010 - that he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda, and that the Muslim world needed to be patient with him while he got Obamacare passed and then he would focus on that Muslim agenda.
The agenda that all Muslim sects agree on is the destruction of the US and Israel and the institution of worldwide sharia. And everything in Obama's past and present fits that agenda.
Obama will try to use gay marriage to get the money necessary to buy off the people necessary to win re-election. If re-elected he could take the slow route to destroying the country (let the demoralization waste us away) or he could take the faster route - revolution. Seems like DHS is preparing for civil war brought on by an economic collapse so I suppose that may be the plan. If gay marriage was enacted before that happens (small chance) it would be a lot easier to identify the gays (to hang them according to sharia) if those people were already officially married. Of course, Obama himself would only be hung if his owners believed him to no longer be valuable.
ABCNBCSeeBSPMSNBCCNNWaPoNYT will ignore this story. Instead, they will hunt down Romneys grade-school classmates to see if he used to beat other kids up for their lunch money when he was 8.
None of these groups are sincerely religious. Religion is only used a means of gathering people to indoctrinate in their anti-American, Marxist ideology. That's what "Black Liberation Theology" is. It's a "religion" concocted by communists: a BOGUS religion. Should the Communist ever gain complete power that crap would disappear forever. They'll be no use for a "god" of any sort. "The Party" would be "god".
Trust me, it ain't REALLY about Allah.
Louis Farrakhan, Santiago de Cuba, February, 1998:

Unity generates power to change reality
By the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
"The time has never been more ripe for a strategic relationship between the Black, Brown, Native American and the poor of this nation and the world."
"We need a Ministry of Defense. Our young men are born soldiers, but they are in the wrong war. They are fighting a war in the streets of America against each other, or they are fighting an unjust war overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to bring our boys home and put them into the Ministry of Defense, so we can defend our communities, rather than destroy our communities.
We need a Ministry of Art and Culture. We applaud the hip hop community, the leaders of young people all over the world, but I want the young generation of artists to know there is a bigger purpose for art and culture than popping our fingers and shaking our backsides.
Mao Tse Tung, throughout his long march to conquer China, had a billion people whose lives he had to transform. Many of them were victims of opium, drugs and prostitution, like we are. But Mao Tse Tung went to the cultural community and they accepted his idea. Then, through song, dance, poetry, drama, documentaries, movies and books, the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people. China became a world power on the base of culture and the artistic community. If we had a Ministry of Art and Culture in every city, [we'd] create this movement [in the U.S.], we could say to our young people, What is the idea of the Time and are you reflecting that idea in your songs, dance and music?
We need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce. Do you think that a Millions More Movement should not be involved in the development of Africa, the Caribbean and Central America? ... we need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce that can link the struggle here with Africa and the Caribbean, Central and South America.

From the website of the Communist Party, USA...
(prior to the election)
"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.
The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."
After the election....
A Landslide Mandate For Change
A breakthrough election
Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!
We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-peoples movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all peoples movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.
The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and peoples unity.
There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead.
The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in.

Change is Here, Change is Coming
Sam Webb, National Chair, Communist Party, USA:
Let me begin with a simple observation: If the last 30 years were an era of reaction, then the coming decade could turn into an era of reform, even radical reform. Six months into the Obama presidency, I would say without hesitation that the landscape, atmosphere, conversation, and agenda have strikingly changed compared to the previous eight years.
In this legislative session, we can envision winning a Medicare-like public option and then going further in the years ahead.
We can visualize passing tough regulatory reforms on the financial industry, which brought the economy to ruin.
We can imagine the troops coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan while U.S. representatives participate in a regional process that brings peace and stability to the entire region.
In the current political climate, the expansion of union rights becomes a real possibility.
Much the same can be said about winning a second stimulus bill, and we sure need one, given the still-rising rate, and likely long term persistence, of unemployment.
Isnt it possible in the Obama era to create millions of green jobs in manufacturing and other sectors of the economy in tandem with an attack on global warming?
Cant we envision taking new strides in the long journey for racial and gender equality in this new era, marked at its beginning by the election of the first African American to the presidency?
And isnt the overhaul of the criminal justice and prison system a system steeped in racism no longer pie-in-the sky, but something that can be done in the foreseeable future?
All these things are within reach now!
"Barack Obama told supporters that
'change has come to America' as he
claimed victory in a historic presidential election."
And of course with so many far left outfits and, no doubt, foreign (enemy) nations supporting the POS, money would be no object.
Exactly. That's why I had to put quotation marks around "god" and "Yahweh". I worship the Yahweh of the Bible, and it offends me greatly that these people take the name of the Lord as a means to do whatever they darn well please. Same thing with the "Lord's Resistance Army" in Africa, which pretends to combine Christianity and Islam but which instead just uses those names in order to do whatever it wants (which just happens to be murderous rioting through coerced children).
Seems like everywhere you look, religion and politics are mixing - using the name of religion in order to garner support for an ideology or agenda that has nothing to do with any actual religion.
The two beasts working together in service to the dragon. All over the place.
Actually he had to do worse, at least with Fox. He had to threaten them. That's been verified by an independent investigator (Doug Hagman) and by law enforcement (Mike Zullo of Sheriff Arpaio's Cold Case Posse).

From "45 Communist Goals", as per "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963:
#27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion.
'Goals' 4-45 can be found here:
I believe the communists and Islamists have united under George Soros, who has always been a communist and who now says that he fears that America will win the "war on terror" because it would strengthen both America and capitalism (the two great evils that Soros has to fight since he seriously believes he is God). Soros is the union of corrupt religion (Islam and a bunch of other rag-tag imitations) and corrupt government (communism) - Revelation's beast out of the sea and beast out of the land. And he chose as his puppet Barack Obama, who has ALSO always been the union of communism and Islamism.
Just like Raila Odinga - Obama's cousin in Kenya - was the union of communism and Islamism, as a Memorandum of Understanding signed by both Odinga and the Muslims in the 2007 election showed. And Obama's campaign illegally sent $1 million to Odinga's campaign. Obama illegally campaigned in person with Raila Odinga. And when the election was declared for Odinga's opponent before the Odinga people were able to stuff enough ballot boxes, the Muslims made good on their promise and carried out the rampages that eventually got the UN to work out a "compromise" propelling Odinga into shared power. At least a million in US tax money went to Kenya to push a new Constitution on them - one which established sharia, starting in the Muslim areas (which is the way that Islamists have traditionally gotten sharia into whole countries). That was US taxpayer money spent to help Odinga carry out one of his promises in the Memorandum of Understanding he had signed with the Muslims in return for their support (murderous rampaging) to get him into power. IOW, US taxpayers funded that murderous communist-Islamist coup in Kenya, Obama's most likely birthplace which sealed all records for Obama and unlawfully detained and deported Jerry Corsi when he was in Kenya researching. It's easily seen how Obama bought Kenya's silence...
According to top democratic sources for Bettina Viviano, Soros went to both Hillary and Obama in the 2008 primary season and asked if they were on board with his plans to destroy the US economy. Hillary wasn't but Obama was. And then all of a sudden the people who intended to help Hillary confront the lawlessness of the DNC at the convention started showing up dead just weeks before the convention - one of whom (Bill Gwatney) was a good friend of Bill Clinton and thus effectively threatened him out of revealing Obama's ineligibility as he and Hillary had been planning to do all along.
There is a book out (by a guy who has written white papers describing our vulnerability to economic terrorism) which suggests that the Sept 2008 run on the bank had long been planned by the Islamists (if I had my act together better I'd have a link for you on that), and right after the run on the bank communists such as Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez started saying, "Since capitalism has failed, the world should try communism". Islamists like Zawahiri and Ahmadinejad were saying, "Since capitalism has failed, the world should try Islamic financing." The IMF was meeting in Europe to decide what to do now that capitalism had failed.
Ghadaffi was saying that Muslims who had lawfully (only because the contributions were divided into many that were under $200 and thus didn't have to be reported individually and because the Obama people had deliberately disabled the credit card tracking so the contributions would not be immediately recognizeable as illegal foreign contributions...) contributed to Obama's campaign and that they were hoping he wouldn't be too self-conscious after the election to be faithful to his Muslim religion and carry out the agenda the Muslims had supported him to carry out. In January of 2010 Obama felt the need to explain himself to the Muslim world and told the Egyptian ambassador that the Muslim world should be patient with him while he got Obamacare (communism) passed in America because then he would concentrate on the Muslim agenda - which he said he supports because he was and still is a Muslim.
As we all know, Obama was caught on an open microphone telling Medvedev that after the election he would have more "flexibility" in the talks about nuclear disarmament (agreements which the USA honor and which the communist-Islamists all over the world freely lie about, because communism and Islamism are all about lies. They come from the Father of Lies and officially embrace lying as a means for getting power and implementing tyranny).
There is way, way more to be said about the communist-Islamist alliance that is threatening the entire world. The bad thing is that most people refuse to hear it. It won't fit into 60-second soundbites each hour, even if the MSM WOULD report the actual news (which they won't, because most are in bed with the communist-Islamist agenda and the one which used to be better - Fox - was first threatened into silence and is now financially in bed with George Soros, the head of the communist-Islamist alliance. See post 62 at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2873887/posts?page=62 ; the last link in that post is about the financial ties with Soros).
Amazon Book Review:
"Vastly Illuminating!" September 25, 2004
By Kat Bakhu
"I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.
It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.
Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.
This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air."
Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left -by David Horowitz
Not all dissent is equal, and Americans whose actions are calculated to give aide and comfort to the butchers who murdered 3,000 innocent people on September 11, 2001 are not patriotic at all... they are, in fact, quite the opposite.

August, 2003: Ward Churchill Caught On Tape Advocating Terrorism [vs Fellow Americans]
Audio link at Michell Malkin's website (included below)
Question from audience:
You mentioned a little bit ago, "Why did it take a bunch of Arabs to do what you all should have done a long time ago," that's my question.
Churchill: I'm gonna repeat that, tell me if I got that right: Why shouldn't we do something and how do you you move so they don't see you coming.
As to the first part, not a reason in the world that I could see. I can't find a single reason that you shouldn't in a principled way there may be some practical considerations, such as do you know how (laughter from audience)
you know, often these things are processes. It's not just an impulse. And certainly it's not just an event.
And the simple answer, although it probably should be more complicated, but I'm not being flip and giving the simple answer, is:
You carry the weapon. That's how they don't see it coming. You're the one...
They talk about "color blind or blind to your color." You said it yourself.
You don't send the Black Liberation Army into Wall Street to conduct an action.
You don't send the American Indian Movement into downtown Seattle to conduct an action.
Who do you send? You. Your beard shaved, your hair cut close, and wearing a banker's suit.
There's probably a whole lot more to it, you know that. But there's where you start. .."
The audio is apparently no longer available -only transcript:
Most definitely true. However, the "Black Muslim" thing here in the US is mostly bs. It's a "Black Liberation" communist front movement as well. Communists are only using the legit islamist fanatics (terrorists) as pawns. Commies despise religion of any kind (except for Marxism). Should the communists ever succeed in gaining world control, their "alliance" with the islamists would rapidly vanish and they would attempt to wipe them out. They'd certainly have the firepower.

- Multicam
Since early in the 20th century, military tacticians around the world have understood the importance of using camouflage to prevent detection during combat. Camouflage uniforms used by the military are frequently redesigned or replaced as the conditions in which the troops find themselves continue to change. Most recently, the U.S. Army has begun replacing the woodland camouflage and the three-color desert camouflage patterns that were used during the Vietnam War and the first Gulf War. The newly developed MultiCam pattern was considered just after 2000, but wasn't chosen at that time. Instead, the Universal Camouflage System pattern became part of the ACU, or Army Combat Uniform. In 2010, however, the U.S. Army has begun issuing MultiCam uniforms to Soldiers deploying to Afghanistan.
The new pattern uses seven different colors and shades that range from tan and brown to green and even light pink. The camouflage pattern helps the person wearing it avoid visual or near infrared detection by blending in well with the surroundings. The pattern also helps protect troops from detection by night vision devices.
The MultiCam uniforms are designed to blend with well with the background environment by using the lighting of the environment. For example, the camouflage pattern will appear green when it's worn in a forest, but when it's worn in a high desert area, the tans and browns will become predominant. The variety of colors and shades found in the camouflage pattern make it ideal for many different kinds of environments, including wooded areas, sandy open desert or rocky high desert, or even urban areas. Some non-licensed patterns use either darker or lighter colors, and include yellow and pink shades on fabrics featuring different types of patterns.
In addition to taking on the appearance of the surrounding environment by mimicking colors and lighting, the camouflage pattern also deceives how the eye picks up shape and volume. When someone looks at a scene, he sees not only color, but also shape and size, or volume. The multi-colored camouflage pattern was designed to trick the viewer into seeing a person wearing the camouflage pattern as part of the background, rather than a definite object with a profile.
While some camouflage patterns work well when viewed at a distance, the person wearing the pattern can become visible at a close range. The multicolored camouflage pattern avoids this problem by using blended rather than contrasting patterns. The colors and shadings don't have well-defined borders, and they are not repeated at predictable intervals throughout the material. Instead, they gradually fade from one shade to another in small areas of the fabric, within larger blocks of color, such as green or tan. This pattern makes it harder for someone to see the silhouette of the person wearing it, allowing him to blend into the background environment. The overall camouflage pattern has come to be known as "macroflage".
Beginning in 2001, Crye Associates started working with the U.S. Army Soldiers System Center to develop the MultiCam uniform. In developing the new camouflage pattern, Crye Associates looked at the way animals hide themselves in nature, using lighting, terrain, seasonal changes and other factors. After assessing how best to use camouflage in many different conditions, Crye set out to develop and test a single camouflage pattern that would work well in many different areas.
Crye Associates and its manufacturing and production side, Crye Precision, field-tested the pattern with the US Army beginning in 2009, with input from soldiers in the field. U.S. Army soldiers tried several different camouflage patterns and ranked them according to preference. Then a team from the U.S. Army took photos of troops wearing the various camouflage patterns in a number of different terrains in Afghanistan. Photo simulations of the different types of camouflage at various distances and terrains were evaluated by soldiers who had recently returned from Afghanistan. The Crye Precision MultiCam pattern was the hands-down winner.
In 2010, the U.S. Army began issuing MultiCam uniforms developed by Crye Precision to Soldiers deploying to Afghanistan. At this time, the camouflage pattern is being used only by Soldiers deployed in Afghanistan. In addition, the multicolored camouflage pattern is being used on the Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment tactical gear issued to the Soldiers. The U.S. Army chose the pattern because it blends so well into the varied surroundings of the Afghanistan geography and terrain. It's not unusual for Soldiers on patrol to move from wooded areas to high desert or mountain terrain to a desert area. The U.S. Army feels the multicolored camouflage pattern gives Soldiers the best camouflage in one single ACU as well as the tactical equipment they use. High-level U.S. Army officers say the camouflage pattern allows troops to get much closer to enemy combatants than they could before, giving them an extra measure of protection.
While the MultiCam pattern was developed for U.S. Army soldiers, it will soon be put into use by other U.S. military branches, such as the U.S. Air Force. The multicolored camouflage pattern is finding uses in other countries' militaries as well. Private military contractors and law enforcement on the federal, state and local levels, such as the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, and some police departments are also using the camouflage pattern. Multicolor camouflage clothing is also available to civilians. Hunters in particular appreciate its usefulness in varied terrains. Paintball and Airsoft game participants also find the camouflage pattern beneficial when hiding themselves and their equipment.
The Army discontinued the BDU once the ACU was implemented, but multicolor camouflage pattern BDU uniform components are available to civilians. The BDU components include field jackets, pants, hats, and even combat boots. The pattern is also used in tactical gear, such as day packs, ammo pouches, and canteen covers.
Although the multicolor camouflage pattern is a new player in military, law enforcement and civilian clothing and equipment, it has already shown itself ideal for providing the needed cover in all kinds of different environments. Whether he's a professional soldier, a law enforcement member, or an outdoor enthusiast he'll find that using this kind of camouflage pattern in clothing and tactical gear will let him, for all intents and purposes, hide in plain sight.

Reviews of this property
I am in love with Barcelona! What a great city! Can't wait to go back. Also the room was nice, more central than you could wish for! Its next to the Rambla, the main street of the city!
Thanks Carlos, for the room. We enjoyed the trip!
Carlos was a great host, friendly and helpful! The room was great, large with balcony just as pictured and the rest of the apartment was also very good, clean and well equipped. Top notch!
I spent four wonderful days in Barcelona, the room and the apartment in general were clean, guests absolutely not intrusive, shifts to the bathroom and the kitchen perfectly manageable, the apartment is located very close to the Rambla and the metro so is an excellent starting point to visit the main attractions of Barcelona paid! Walk along the Rambla you reach the sea and on the way there are numerous shops, restaurants and above the Carrefour! The only flaw but that 'we did not however given disorder, the fact that having the room (with balcony) on the road, the evening was a bit' of noise due to nightlife, but after a full day in Barcelona you sleep as the stones! Who was more attentive to this "problem" may require rooms not facing the road or equip with plugs. I absolutely recommend this property, and when I return to Barcelona I will not hesitate to rebook by Carlos!
Ho trascorso quattro splendide giornate a Barcellona, la stanza e l'appartamento in generale erano puliti, gli ospiti assolutamente non invadenti, i turni per il bagno e per la cucina perfettamente gestibili, l'appartamento si trova molto vicino alla Rambla e alla metro quindi è un ottimo punto di partenza per visitare le principali attrazioni Barcellonesi! Percorrendo la Rambla a piedi si arriva al mare e nel tragitto ci sono numerosi negozi, ristoranti e soprattutto il Carrefour! Unica pecca che pero' a noi non ha comunque dato disturbo, il fatto che avendo la stanza (con balconcino) sulla strada, la sera c'era un po' di rumore dovuto alla movida, ma dopo un'intera giornata a Barcellona si dorme come i sassi! Chi fosse più attento a questo "problema" puó richiedere le stanze non fronte strada o attrezzarsi con i tappi. Consiglio assolutamente questo alloggio e quando torneró a Barcellona non esiteró a riprenotare da Carlos!
Posizione ideale a 200 m dalla Rambla. Sono stato accolto dalla sarella del proprietario, una persona squisita, gentile e molto disponibile, che parla un ottimo inglese e che ci ha fornito tutte le informazioni su posti dove mangiare fuori dai soliti giri turistici. Soggiorno piacevolissimo. Le pulizie del bagno e delle parti comuni vengono effettuate tutti i giorni se non due volte al giorno. Consigliato a tutti gli utenti!!! :-)
Dieses ist das beste Zimmer in der ganzen Wohnung. Die Möbel sind trotzdem schon nicht mehr schön, aber ich finde für die Lage stimmt der Preis trotzdem. Immer darauf achten das der Raum ein Fenster hat. Die anderen Räume sind wirklich nicht gut. Stickig und teilweise schimmlig. Unsere Freunde sind gar nicht erst in den 'Large-Room' eingezogen (gleicher Preis). Bei der Stornierung ist uns Carlos (und Wimdu) aber entgegengekommen und sie haben das Geld komplett zurück bekommen.
no se por donde empezar...con un bebé de 8 meses el ruido de la noche insoportable,la limpieza brillaba por su ausencia,estuvimos 1 semana y nos cambio las toallas 1 vez porque yo se lo dije,2 toallas para tres personas.La c'amara de la entrada...sin comentarios,La mermelada con una capa de moho de meses,al llegar nos enseñan las cosas que hay para desayunar,que se terminaron en 2 dias y no repusieron.1 silla para comer en la habitacion para tres personas ??? y el resto que comemos en el suelo o en la cama??? lo único bueno la situación céntrica,pero no para pagar 303 euros,ni loca.No lo recomendaría a nadie.
tres decue. nous n'avons pas rencontre cet hote une seule fois. la chambre etait tres bruyante (coté rue sans isolation) et le matelas usé.
Sehr lautes Zimmer. Gastgeber kam 1,5 u spät zur Schlüsselübergabe.
Ausstattung war gewöhnungsbedürfdig. Türen und Fenster defekt.
Wir fänden es gut, wenn sich jemand von Wimdu die Wohnungen, die über diese Plattform vermietet werden, noch besser anschauen würde: Die Beschreibung der von uns gemieteten Unterkunft war deutlich zu positiv! Wenn wir vorher gewusst hätten, dass dort Kakerlaken durchs Badezimmer laufen und die Betten zu kurz sind, hätten wir möglicherweise doch etwas anderes gemietet...
Dennoch: Die Lage der Unterkunft ist genial, die Vermieter waren sehr freundlich und wir hatten schöne Tage in Barcelona!
Reviews for this host's other properties
Carlos is very warm and good host. The rooms (we had an opportunity to sleep in 2 of them) are clean and comfy, there are 2 bathrooms in the appartament which is useful. The best thing is the location - close to EVERYTHING: metro station, bus (we came from the airport by it and we got off in front of the building), all kinds of shops (markets, farmacy etc.) and ATMs. There is a lift in the building and our stay was satisfying :)
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

In love with these shoes
"All I can say is I simply love these shoes!!! Not only do they look great on picture but when they arrived, they were everything I hoped they would be. I have received several compliments on these shoes. They are a versatile shoe that can be worn to work or a night out on the town. These shoes are super comfortable and the strap doesn't cut into your ankle like some shoes tend to do. I am very impressed and considering purchasing the fushia-colored pair."

Bills' Byrd returns Thursday
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Oct 4 2012 2:52PM
Following the Buffalo Bills' latest loss to the New England Patriots, starting free safety Jairus Byrd suffered a hip injury. Although it was expected that Byrd would be ready for the Bills' next game in San Francisco, the safety failed to participate in the first practice of the week on Wednesday.
On Thursday, it was a different story. Byrd was back, working with the defensive backs through the portion of practice the media is allowed to witness. Whether or not he was limited during the session will be revealed by head coach Chan Gailey following practice.
Only three players did not participate for the second straight day. Defensive tackle Spencer Johnson (ankle) is the only unexpected player to not practice so far this week. Meanwhile offensive linemen Cordy Glenn (ankle) and Kraig Urbik (ankle) also did not participate, as was anticipated at the beginning of the week.
Wide receiver Ruvell Martin, who has missed the past two games due to an ankle injury, practiced for the second straight day. He injured himself on the final Bills' punt of the game against Kansas City late in the fourth quarter.

Really? Fire Fall isnt even finished yet and GW2 JUST RELEASED YESTERDAY. This VS crap never goes anywhere.
why you ppl always feel the need to compare games with other games ?
edit :
since a great ammount of the GW2 community is on here (cuz their forums is down) you wont get much out of your poll
they gonna spam ur Firefall into oblivion...think bout it
Well I know Guild Wars 2 is absolutely awesome and amazing - been playing it like a mad man since it released.
What I know about Firefall is that it was so bad at first the devs even realized it to the extent they pulled it back in, delayed it and re-vamped it to make it suck less.
Is it good now? No idea- never played it. But I take it seriously when a game is so bad that even the developers/investors realize it needs to be re-tooled before they release it.

Apple Vs Orange, which would you choose? Discuss......
Apples, since I dont have to peel em.
Well, considering that so far Firefall's PvE basically consists of, "Look for resources and craft", then I'd have to go with GW2.
I like 5, but they're focusing way too much on the 'e-sports PvP' aspect of the game. Hopefully they'll remember that PvEers like to do more than just shoot bugs all day.
This topic sound like Coconuts Vs. Rocket launchers ... What would you chose?
Srsly these 2 games have nothing in common...

Of course you aren't buying firefall, its free.

GW2 Spammed of course.
this looks approximately 10 times more fun than GW2,
I'd probably even pay a sub for FF
firefall is okay, but not nearly as great as GW2
the RPG part in firefall is very rudimentary, the controls are akin to other FPS and honestly, there's very little novelty in terms of design too.
it feels like a solid game, but nothing I would pay money for though

I don't even get the reason of comparing firefall with gw2.
It's like comparing Gran Turismo 5 with Grid.
First of all, it caters to completely different audiences (being a different genre).
"not as great as GW2": there are few of us thinking that gw2 is not as great as gw1 or not even worth playing. I guess the same can be said about pretty much any title. To each its own?
RPG part in firefall is very rudimentary: game is in beta and there have been quite a few complete "overhauls" already. we'll see how it turns out in the end. There's also people saying that rpg component in gw2 is amazing and other people claiming the opposite (obviously they are playing it wrong - lol?)
Controls: well a shooter plays like a shooter. GW2 plays like any other tab target game released since the dawn of time. Some of us like shooters, some of us like tab target games, some of us like other things. No matter how you dress it up, in terms of control there has been no novelty in the gaming industry for the past 20 years no matter what bs PR people try to shove down our throat. The only innovation in terms of controls I can think of in the recent years, was Heavy Rain on ps3 (which then again, people can intensely love and replay or just drop within 30 seconds).
Some people paid for gw2 and asked for a refund. Others paid for gw2 and are happy and having a blast.
Nobody will have to pay a dime for playing Firefall and decide afterwards if worth spending few occasional $$ instead of an upfront "blind payment" of 50$ or whatever it is that GW2 sells for on cdkeys websites nowadays.
On a side note: FF has "dynamic stuff" that is really dynamic and popping everywhere (and also player controlled in where/when/how to trigger). GW2 "DE thing" is nothing more than yet another marketing stunt.
Last but not least: ps2 is a 3-faction persistent conflict spanning across massive zones, with no craft, no level progression and no pve. Firefall is the opposite.
Not saying one thing is better than the other. Just saying diversity and options are good for the customer base (all of us), and there's no real "versus" apart from "what each one of us like vs. what each one of us doesn't like", we all in control of our wallets (hopefully) and everyone's a winner
And this whole thread sounds like an alternative to the chewbacca defense. ^_^

Exclusive Interview with Santa Claus -
A Revealing Look at the North Pole Santa Letter Incident that Almost Ruined Christmas
My name is Noel Sommers, and Ive done hundreds of shocking interviews, but this one takes the cake. I dont know if Santa Claus had eaten too many of Mrs. Claus chocolate chip cookies on this particular night, but he was definitely in a rare talking mood. Maybe it was the three glasses of eggnog he casually sipped during our interview. Maybe he had been reading too many letters to Santa.
Whatever the reason I could hardly believe my ears at how candid Santa Claus was being. I soon found myself on the receiving end of the blockbuster interview of the century.
Now, normally Santa Claus sticks to clichés and routine answers during an interview. Sort of like a North Pole Politician. Throughout history, his mere existence has been shrouded with vague answers to such compelling questions as:
"Is Santa Claus real?"
"Where is Santa Claus right now?"
"How many Santa Letters do you receive each year?"
"Is that story about Rudolph really true?" or
"How do you deliver all of the gifts in just one night?"
Hes definitely done everything in his power to avoid answering that question!
Anyway, youre going to be stunned as you hear from a very blunt and forthright Santa Claus. Brace yourself for a candid chat with Santa Claus that reveals how a particular Santa Letter incident almost destroyed the very fabric of Christmas!
The following is a short excerpt of my full length interview with Santa Claus at his North Pole cabin.
The wind bellows against the frosty windows as the fireplace crackles. The sweet smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies permeates the room. Santa Claus sits across from me in his favorite plush chair, with his classic Santa hat resting on his brim. As Santa casually sips a mug of frothy eggnog, one would have to look closely to notice Mrs. Claus bustling about in the background.
Noel Sommers: Hello there Santa, Im Noel.
Santa Claus: Hi Noel! What a pretty name. Is that your real name young lady? (Combing through his white silky beard with his right hand)
Noel Sommers: Thank you... yes, thats my given name. My mother was a huge fan of Christmas, and you, as well!
Santa Claus: I think were going to get along just fine. (Santa bellows his trademark laugh)
Noel Sommers: So Santa Claus, what are your thoughts on Christmas in these modern times?
Santa Claus: Ill be honest with you, I have mixed feelings. On one hand my job has gotten a whole lot easier. Santa tracker GPS makes global navigation a snap; my blackberry gives me instant updates on toy assembly, Naughty & Nice list names, and my cocoa bean stocks. And my laptop allows me to type up personalized Santa letters much more efficiently
But, on the other hand, I face the same problems everyone else does with all of this technology. There can be loopholes, and sometimes it can be difficult to make sure all the children "play by the rules."
Noel Sommers: what do you mean by "play by the rules?"
Santa Claus: Well, kids these days are hip to the new technologies. Theyre smart. Theyre much smarter today than they were even several years ago.
A child MUST be good all year long to receive a personalized Santa letter and personalized Nice Certificate from me thats just the rules. I dont make the rules, oh wait, yes I do! (Trademark Santa laugh again)
Noel Sommers: so are you implying that some children are not following the rules you have designed?
Santa Claus: Ive never really talked about this publicly (Santa leans forward as to tell me a secret) but to be perfectly honest with you, recently some children have hacked into my computers. They manipulated my data to make it appear as if they have been good, when all along, theyve been part of the naughty list.
Noel Sommers: My gosh! That is naughty. Did they get away with it?
Santa Claus: Well, luckily Arthur Honeytree (the lead Elf) noticed something funny going on when Timmy Warchickles showed up on this years Nice List.
Noel Sommers: Wait a minute. Isnt little Timmy Warchickles the child that posted your personal phone number on his MySpace.com account to over 73 million people!?!
Santa Claus: (Santa is visibly shaken) Yes the scoundrel! I had to immediately disconnect my phone. I was getting over 12,000 Santa calls a second! It was quickly resolved thanks to our technical team up here at the North Pole.
The whole incident still shakes me up a bit. Can you imagine, naughty children receiving a precious personalized Santa letter AND a Nice List Certificate? It wouldve been sheer chaos! Things would have never been the same. (Santa shivers)
Noel Sommers: Scary stuff. Christmas would have been a disaster! So the personalized Santa Letter and Nice Certificate system is working now?
Santa Claus: Yes. (sigh) Not only is it working properly, we have redesigned the whole program. I call it the Package from Santa Program. Its a top secret campaign to ensure that all deserving children will receive my handwritten, personalized Santa letter as well as the personalized Nice Certificate. This Christmas, I will let the cat out of the big red bag uh, so to speak. I assure you this is BIG!
Theres going to be no doubt about Santa Claus er, I mean me. (Santa smiles)
The Package from Santa Program is also being implemented with a more efficient warehousing structure, allowing us to send out additional custom goodies, such as collector tins of reindeer food that was Rudolphs idea, bless his heart.
Of course, only well-behaved children get the extra goodies no cheating this time!
Noel Sommers: This does sound exciting! Tell me more!
Santa Claus: With this new system in place Ill be able to write a personalized letter from Santa to each and every child. I mean the good ones of course. Then well have our customized Nice Certificate, a special piece of my magical red suit and a lot more. Each letter from Santa package will be unique and special.
I just love the reactions when well-behaved children get their personalized letter from Santa! And now everybody can be confident that only the deserving kids will get such accolades.
Thats about all I can discuss about the top secret "Package from Santa" program right now
Noel Sommers: I understand. (Knowing that Santa Claus has averted answering this question in every interview he has ever done, I try to press my luck ) So, how do you deliver all of the special Christmas gifts in only one night?

Who To Keep An Eye On: Saints at Patriots
by Steve Geller, firstname.lastname@example.com
posted Oct 10 2013 10:50AM
The 5-and-eaux start by the Saints is the best by the team since the 2009 Super Bowl season, and many people are starting to believe a return to the big game is possible this year. The offense is currently ranked 4th overall in the NFL, while the defense is tied for 11th in the league. Defensive Coordinator Rob Ryan should be called "the miracle worker" for what he's done with a defensive unit that couldn't stop ANYONE last season.
The Black & Gold face their biggest challenge of the season so far this week as they travel to New England to face a Patriots ballclub that lost their first game of the season last week and are still likely steaming from the defeat at the hands of the Bengals. Here are some players I'll be looking out for in the showdown:
Cornerback Jabari Greer
Oh man did the Saints top corner get abused last week in Chicago. According to ProFootballFocus.com Greer gave up 87 yards on four catches to Bears WR Alshon Jeffery and also allowed a catch to four other receivers. In total he surrendered 128 yards and a touchdown. OUCH!
I fully expect Greer to respond in a big way this week against a shaky Pats receiving corps as well as playing on a surface that is field turf and not grass.
Wide Receiver Kenny Stills
Stills really electrified during the preseason but has been seemingly lost in the shuffle now that the regular season has started. He only has 7 receptions for 134 yards thru 5 games and didn't register a single catch last week. Not a one as he dropped passes!
With Lance Moore M.I.A. so far this year, you would think Stills would be the benefactor. This could be that big week for him as I'm sure Bill Belichick's top priority is to not let monster TE Jimmy Graham beat them.
Quarterback Drew Brees
Seems a pretty obvious choice since as Brees goes, so do the Black & Gold. But the only thing that still comes to mind when I think about Tom Brady and the Pats is a Monday Night football game in 2009 when Drew shredded New England in the Superdome. He threw for 371 yards, 5 scores and ended the evening with a perfect passer rating. Brees is still the only player to toss 5 TDs against a Belichick coached team.
Brees looks just as locked in and focused as Coach Payton this season, and it feels as if a special season is a brewin' in the Big Easy. This game will make a statement to the entire league that Drew & Krewe are for real.
Tight End Rob Gronkowski
New England's lackluster offensive start to the season isn't completely due to Gronk being sidelined because of a spinal issue, but he does provide a huge boost to a unit averaging just 19 points a contest currently.
The 6 ft. 6, 265 pounder is considered by many as the premier TE in the game, and Tom Brady and this Pats team really do need him desperately right now. The big question though is: IF he is cleared to play Sunday, how effective will he be? Any Gronk is better than no Gronk for this team right now.
Cornerback Aqib Talib
The Patriots defense has looked a look better since the arrival of Talib last season. He is capable of big plays and has already picked off opposing quarterback 4 times this season. New England hasn't had a ball hawk with his ability since Asante Samuel.
Falcons QB Mat Ryan threw at the elite corner 7 times last week and completed NONE of those passes. Brees will have to be extra mindful of where Talib is on the field, just like he had to know where Darrelle Revis was when N.O. played Tampa.
Linebacker Brandon Spikes
This guy was a winner in college with the Florida Gators and had a breakout year in 2012 with 92 tackles, 1 interception and 7 passes defended. He isn't happy that he hasn't gotten a new deal as he's in the last year of his rookie contract. As a result, he has been taking it out on the opposition.
Spikes has been a beast against the run blowing up plays in the backfield and providing the Pats with some extra bulk in the middle. New England really needs Spikes to step up in DT Vince Wolfork's absence and in turn will probably result in a big payday for the linebacker.

Antibiotic Safety
A normal, healthy pregnancy is sometimes complicated by an infection that requires treatment with antibiotics. Everything from a routine urinary tract infection to a sexually transmitted disease can put your and your baby's health at risk. However, an antibiotic's safety depends not only on the characteristic of the drug itself, but also how much is taken, for how long, and during what stage of pregnancy.
Antibiotics are often given to women during labor if they have tested positive for Group B Strep, if they are in preterm labor, or if their membranes rupture and the baby is not delivered within 18 hours. Pregnant women may also receive antibiotics if they have a high fever, if the fetus's heart rate exceeds 160 beats per minute, or if the amniotic fluid is malodorous.
Antibiotics may increase the likelihood that your baby develops a fungal or yeast infection or experiences diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration. While these conditions do not pose a risk to healthy full term babies, they can be dangerous for stressed or preterm babies.
In a study reported in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the babies of mothers who received some type of antibiotic during their pregnancy or labor were less able to fight off infection, and almost half of them were resistant to ampicillin, a penicillin-like antibiotic. However, antibiotics should not be withheld if the woman needs them. In some cases, the risk of not treating a condition with antibiotics outweighs the risk of exposing the fetus to the medication. You should always discuss the situation with your doctor, and weigh the risks and benefits to determine what is best for you and your baby.
Some antibiotics are safe to take while you are pregnant, some pose a risk to the fetus, and many fall somewhere in between depending on when and how much you take. There are dozens of types of antibiotics, but some of the most common that are considered safe to take during pregnancy include:
Some types of antibiotics that should be avoided during pregnancy include:
Always let your doctor know you are pregnant before he or she prescribes any medication, and check with your obstetrician or midwife before taking any new medication prescribed by another physician.

ATLANTA -- With the Detroit bankruptcy trial on a break until Monday, the industry's most influential bankruptcy attorneys and judges gathered Thursday for a conference where Chapter 9 was a hot topic because of Detroit's historic case.
The National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges attracted several key players from the city's bankruptcy case, including Judge Steven Rhodes, who declined an interview request after speaking on a panel about Ponzi schemes, saying he needs to avoid speaking to the news media during the case.
In attendance were Jones Day attorney Corinne Ball, who is helping to represent the city, Detroit pension funds attorney Robert Gordon and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees attorney Sharon Levine, both of whom are battling the city's bankruptcy case. Gordon and Levine attended a panel on Chapter 9.
With 700,000 residents longing for better services, 23,500 retirees worried about their pensions and more than 100,000 creditors awaiting possible cuts, emotions are intense and the dispute is personal for many people.
Lingering in everyone's minds are the unanswered questions. They're unanswered mostly because municipal bankruptcy is so rare that few judges have even handled a case.
Here are some key questions judges and lawyers weighed in on Thursday:
Question: Will the pension fight end up at the U.S. Supreme Court?
Answer:U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Klein, who is overseeing the Stockton, Calif., bankruptcy case, said he thinks the pension battle is "all a very ambiguous, unresolved area in the context of Chapter 9."
"Ultimately there's going to have to be a Supreme Court decision that resolves it," Klein said. "I don't have a clue how that's going to come out."
In an interview, Levine, the AFSCME attorney, wouldn't rule out a fight to the Supreme Court on pensions.
"All the options are on the table," she said. "If we can figure something out that works for our members, that's fine. But if not, all those options are on the table."
Q: Will mediation work?
A: Rhodes has assigned U.S. District Judge Gerald Rosen to manage mediation between Detroit and its creditors. Rosen has been conducting a series of closed-door talks with creditors and has appointed his own team of mediators to help.
Kenneth Klee, a bankruptcy attorney for Jefferson County, Ala., which is in bankruptcy, questioned whether it will be productive for the city of Detroit because it has nearly 50 unions.
"Mediation in Detroit?" Klee said. "I cannot imagine how mediation is going to be anything other than a waste of resources."
But Judge Frank J. Bailey, who oversaw the Chapter 9 bankruptcy of Central Falls, R.I., said mediation "has a role" in resolving municipal bankruptcy disputes.
Q: What exactly does "good faith" negotiations mean?
A: This question is so difficult that Rhodes recently surprised attorneys involved in Detroit's bankruptcy by giving them until mid-November to deliver official opinions on the definition of "good faith" negotiations. Chapter 9 bankruptcy code requires the city to prove it negotiated in good faith with its creditors to be eligible for bankruptcy, although the city could bypass that standard by proving it is "impracticable" to continue negotiating.
Klein said that in Stockton's bankruptcy, it was very difficult to assess whether collective labor contract talks had been in good faith.
"I knew how many bargaining sessions there were, I knew who attended them, I knew how long they were," Klein said. "There just was not evidence of who said what to who."
He added: "There's a problem with the phrase 'good faith.' It shows up in five different places in the Chapter 9 process. And as near as I can tell, it has five different meanings."
Bruce Bennett, Detroit's lead bankruptcy attorney, said in opening arguments during the eligibility trial that "the city did act in good faith in all the negotiations it conducted."
But Levine said in an interview that the city rushed into a bankruptcy filing after delivering four lectures, instead of fruitful negotiation sessions.
"They haven't told us even how much they're looking for from us," Levine said.

Just okay...
"I treated myself to this handbag for my birthday, and was so excited to receive it. It arrived today and I must say it is just okay. Not the wow factor I expected at this price point. The pebbled leather seems as if it could've been of a softer quality. I am a handbag lover and have many designer bags. In my opinion it looks a little cheap. Shiny chain hardware and overall I'm just not impressed !! I love DSW and I plan on keeping it, too much hassle to return . I don't think I would purchase this brand of handbag again. I intended to use for other things, but it's going to serve as my work commuter bag. Nothing more. Sorry not what I expected . I realize its a replica of a bag that I could only afford in my dreams. Not wowed by this one at all."
