My name is Tegan, I am Australian but I have lived overseas for 8 years and love to travel. I am currently studying my masters of Dietetics at USYD and work in retail as a casual. I enjoy socialising, having a drink, going for a hike or walk, working out and food! Ive lived in share houses for 5 years now, I can give people their space if thats what is preferred or be a part of a family home vibe as well as I love to sit down with a glass of wine to watch some trashy TV with the house. I'm a pretty good cook, I am very clean and tidy and I take pride in my home. I'm very open minded and I can chat to anyone about anything!
I keep to myself for the most part, creating a minor zone of controlled chaos until everything sorts itself out into an actual form of order once everything settles. I identify as the bookworm type for the most part. I am starting a new 3-year coursework as of Feb/17 at USQ, so I'm in it for the long haul.

Echoes of the Golden Rule
I get a charge out of noticing subtle connections between the many different conversations we bring to the airwaves and webwaves each week. This happened recently as I was prepping two upcoming programs: one with author and scholar Karen Armstrong, the other featuring developmental cognitive neuroscientist Adele Diamond. Hear both above.
Both Armstrong and Diamond discuss Rabbi Hillel and The Golden Rule in their conversations with Krista, but they come at this story from slightly different directions. For Armstrong who grew up Catholic and once lived as a nun, Hillel's words opened up new doors of thought about compassionate action as an expression of religious faith.
Adele Diamond — who was raised in a religious Jewish home and says that Judaism is an important part of her identity — has a different take on the Hillel story. As Diamond sees it, Hillel's injunction to "do no harm" doesn't go far enough. She's inspired by Jesus' words from the Gospel of Luke: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
While Armstrong and Diamond have different reactions to the same story, both seem to draw kindred inspiration about the importance of living and acting with compassion.

Canadian women eliminated in qualifying at beach volleyball World Tour opener
BRASILIA, Brazil – Canada's three entries in the women's qualifying for the main draw of this week's season opening event on the beach volleyball World Tour circuit were eliminated on Tuesday
Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City and Kara Zakrzewski of Mississauga, Ont., coming off a victory on the NORCECA (North and Central America) circuit two weekends ago, advanced to third and final round of qualifying before falling to Madelein Meppelink and Maloes Wesselink of the Netherlands 21-17, 21-9.
Rodrigue and Zakrzewski had a first round bye then defeated Camilla Nillson and Tora Hansson of Sweden 21-16, 21-16 in their second round match.
"The Dutch were seeded second in qualifying so we knew they would be tough," said Rodrigue. "The first game went very well and we kept pace with them. The second set didn't go so well as the score reflects. There's always a bit more pressure in qualifying because you really want to play a second day. So it's a bit disappointing for us."
Canada's other two entries also had first round byes but lost their second round matches to German pairs.
Rebecca Moskowitz of Toronto and Eve Marie Dansereau-Laberge of Verdun, Que., lost to Chantal Laboureur and Claudia Lehmann 21-9, 21-12 while Kristina Valjas and Anastasia Danilova of Toronto fell to Jana Kohler and Julia Sude 22-20, 21-13.
Men's qualifying gets underway Wednesday. On court for Canada are Jesse Lelliott of Kelowna, B.C., and Ben Saxton of Calgary.

Aaron HernandezFootball Player / Murder Suspect
Born: 6 November 1989
Birthplace: Bristol, Connecticut
Best known as: The NFL tight end charged with murder in 2013
Aaron Hernandez was a star tight end for the NFL's New England Patriots when he was charged with the execution-style murder of a friend in Massachusetts in 2013. He is currently in jail awaiting trial on those charges and others. Aaron Hernandez grew up in Connecticut and played wide receiver at Bristol Central High School, where he was named Connecticut's Gatorade Player of the Year in his senior year. Heavily recruited, he chose to go to the University of Florida, where he moved to tight end and played three seasons, from 2007-09. He helped the high-powered program win the 2009 BCS National Championship, then left school and declared for the 2010 NFL draft. Despite his obvious talent, he wasn't drafted until the fourth round, allegedly because teams were concerned about his admitted (and repeated) use of marijuana and multiple failed drug tests in college. He was finally drafted as the 113th player overall by New England, where he teamed up with fellow rookie tight end Rob Gronkowski to catch passes from veteran quarterback Tom Brady. For three years they were a sensational pairing; in 2011 Hernandez and Gronkowski set a new NFL record for the most catches (169), touchdowns (24) and receiving yards (2237) by tight ends on one team in one season. That season the team went to the Super Bowl, losing to the New York Giants 21-17. After the season Hernandez signed a lucrative five-year, $37.5 million contract extension that would keep him with the team through 2018. In 2013 he signed an endorsement deal with shoemaker Puma.
Then came a shocking development. On June 17, 2013, the body of a semi-pro football player named Odin Lloyd was found in an industrial park in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. Lloyd had been shot to death. The next day police were seen at Hernandez's home less than a mile away. Hernandez and Lloyd had been friends, and police determined that they had been seen together on the morning of June 17th, not long before Lloyd was shot. The news of Hernandez' involvement stunned fans, and reporters and camera crews quickly took places in front of his house. The media frenzy grew until the morning of June 26th, when Hernandez was arrested and taken to jail. He was released by the New England Patriots a few hours later. That afternoon, he was formally charged with first degree murder and was ordered held without bail. In May of 2014, he was also charged with a double murder from 2012. The New York Times reported that Hernandez was "charged with first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado. They were killed while stopped at a traffic light in Boston's South End on July 16, 2012." The charges mean that Hernandez may already have committed murder when he signed his contract extension and played in the 2012 NFL season.
Extra credit:
The formal charges against Aaron Hernandez in the Odin Lloyd case: murder in the first degree; one count of carrying a firearm without a license, two counts of possession of a large-capacity firearm, and two counts of possession of a firearm without a valid ID card… Aaron Hernandez was 6'1″ tall and weighed 245 pounds in 2012, according to his NFL.com profile… He wore uniform #81 with the Patriots… Bristol, Connecticut is, by coincidence, the headquarters of sports mega-network ESPN… His paternal grandparents were Puerto Rican and he was nicknamed "Chico" at college, according to the University of Florida website… He is heavily tattooed. Among his tattoos are the phrases "If it is to be, it is up to me," "Some do. Some don't," and "Self made." His birth year, 1989, is tattooed on his knuckles.

Posted on 01/19/2013 8:08:01 PM PST by doug from upland
Watch out parents of young women, theres a new Satan in town looking to tempt and then profit from your daughters. The problem is, there isnt only just one. There is a plethora of on-line dating sites, calling themselves arrangement sites, where young women looking to pay down college debt are matched to older, wealthy donors. What is not advertised, but is clearly understood by reading young womens confessionals in a recent Huffington Post piece about sugar daddies and the financially beleaguered sugar baby girls, is that these arrangements are for paid sex, and the industry is booming.
One college student, Taylor, describes how she earned $350 for an afternoon of sex from an older sugar daddy shed never previously met.
The article goes on to describe the win-win trend of these couplings and the scores of people who sign up for them. 35% are college students on sites like arrangementseekers.com, who advertise upfront only that they are looking to pay down debt.
Noel Biderman is the 39-year-old founder and CEO of Avid Life Media. Hes also the creator of several of these arrangement websites, including one for married people looking to have affairs. He says that most members are registering online from large cities like New York and Los Angeles, where there are higher standards of living and more expensive student loans. Students from NYU make up the most sugar babies, while students from UCLA and UC Berkeley are close behind.
A decade ago it may have made sense to say, Hold your daughters close; send them to small, private colleges, away from this kind of exposure. But as many of us know, just flip on the television set and watch 10 minutes of MTV or VH1 (which dont even play music anymore) and youll see the pressure and warped reality high school and college aged kids face today, where viewers quickly become immune to binge drinking, casual sex, teen motherhood and overall shallow thinking.
By the way, Biderman admits unashamedly that he advertises his sites on MTV and VH1, since both television stations appeal to the demographic he covets.
And the girls, the sugar babies, who are making it all happen? They are certainly not victims in all this. I contest this is not only about falling victim to debt and a weak economy, as is offered as explanation in the article. Student loan debt has been an inevitable part of young peoples lives for decades. No, what has changed in our culture is that increasingly the prevalent messages to young people, to all of us even, is that casual sex and the lure of money buys happiness. What is truly unfortunate is that these girls are making bad decisions with these lies in their minds to justify their actions.
When, after the train ride home, Taylor breaks down in tears and says the experience with the older man for $350 made her feel dirty, she shouldve listened to that voice, to her conscience. Instead, she is now back online looking for another sugar daddy arrangement, as a new college semester has begun.
I actually blame the girls in this matter even more than the older men. If the girls werent there, the men wouldnt have anyone to pay. And those girls who say that casual sex is no big thing are lying, by the way. At least there are some girls who admit to how it makes them feel about themselves afterwards.
These girls also have friends who contribute to, or at the very least condone, what theyre doing. Peer pressure is one of the most powerful forces in a young persons life. I wish there were more young girls who would have the courage to tell their friends that what theyre doing is wrong in this case.
No wonder the rate of married couples has plunged in the past 20 years. Why get married when one can have sex whenever? Why get married when one can have a baby and raise the baby without a partner? Why get married when a girl sees men as greedy opportunists, and not as loving partners?
Most everything young people see in the media today sends the message that its OK to have recreational sex. So I really shouldnt be surprised after all that sex for money is the next leap.
"The Modern Daddy" is described as:
You are always respectful and generous. You only live once, and you want to date the best. Some call you a mentor, sponsor or benefactor. But no matter what your desires may be, you are brutally honest about who you are, what you expect and what you offer.
And the "Goal Seeking Sugar Baby":
Attractive, intelligent, ambitious and goal oriented. Sugar Babies are students, actresses, models or girls & guys next door. You know you deserve to date someone who will pamper you, empower you, and help you mentally, emotionally and financially.
The benefits are simple: prospective sugar daddies surf the site and select the sugar baby (male or female) whose price they can afford. Monthly rates average $1,000 to $3,000. Most of the sugar babies are women between the ages of 18 and 26, and KTLA breaks down the member numbers as follows: UCLA, 180; USC, 70; UC Riverside, 69; UC Irvine, 64; and Cal State Northridge, 59.
" Why get married when a girl sees men as greedy opportunists, and not as loving partners? "
A "loving partner" wouldn't take this bargain. The "men" that do are pigs and should be ashamed of themselves. What would their mothers say?
Its prostitution, pure and simple.
Are these the real life Sandra Fluke's club?
Not much difference in comparison to a prostitute and her johns.Younger females want the $ and the older males want the sex. They are both using each other and its quite immoral.
Very dangerous, they are setting themselves up for addictions too, they are rewarding their brains with cash for deplorable behavior, each time they submit, the voice will become quieter, they will become numb to the negative effects, jaded, a slow death, then when they get older, if they ever marry or have kids, it will rush over them like a tide and haunt them for the rest of their lives, so very sad, no love, just sex, meaningless, selfish indulgence.
Or, as York County PA four term DA Stan Rebert said, "We all pay for sex."
See what happens when 'they' raise the minimum wage and the part timers (college students) are no longer hired AND the work hours cut back to 30 to keep from PAYING health care, there are only so many 'Gentlemans Clubs' sooooo, why should they 'give it away' to their college chums when some geezer willing to pay in an afternoon that would take a week or so to earn on the open (part time) market?
"What would their mothers say?"
Well good lord, don't tell your momma that kinda thing! Keep it under your Stetson.
no side in this equation is any better than the other. pigs and hoes abound.
> Or, as York County PA four term DA Stan Rebert said, We all pay for sex.
Or lunch: "there's no free lunch".
Sluts play loose for rich guys. Yeah. That's something the world has never seen.
PS, if you have to protect your grown daughter from whoring herself out, something went wrong a long time ago.
I wonder if Bill Clinton has an account.
Sing it again.
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know (Your mother should...)

A better question would be to ask their future husbands if they like contracting STDs. ;)
I believe the site in question handles both sexes; prostitution is not just men vs. women.
These days, both sexes are just as guilty; regardless of what mother may think
Old men want young women to have sex with.
From before time began, old men would pay such women for sex.
Gold pieces, dowrys, fast cars, roles in movies, diamonds, you name it.
If a woman has no sense of her self worth, she'll sell herself for these trinkets.
If they are raised correctly, women will wait for a decent man who will marry them.
Imagine some good man finding out that his soon to be bride sold her body for $.
I know what I would say. The answer is no.
Honestly, I'm surprised there hasn't been a huge push for legalizing prostitution.
If a woman has a "choice" whether or not she can have her offspring killed why should she not also have the "choice" about who she allows to have access to her body and how much she should charge them for that access.
Do you really think Sandra Fluke has any interest in men?
Feminism has just been such an awesome phenomenon! Isn't it just the best?!!
Do you know what this article is about? $$$
Do woman having sex with other woman need free birth control?
no, women having sex with other women do not need any birth control, which is what made Sandra Fluke an even bigger joke than she already was. It's also what made Rush's attempt at humor fall so flat. Sandra Fluke as the face of heterosexual excess was too much for anybody to take. She's the very embodiment of lesbian bed death (look it up if you must, but be forewarned, it ain't pretty). She's so obviously a man-hating harridan that none of it could be taken seriously in a sane world. Good for the left that the media-created world we live in is not at all sane.
She actually got engaged last year to her long time boyfriend, Adam Mutterperl.
I'll have to see some pictures of these college girls to know if they're guilty or not. Rules, gentlemen....
$350? Wow, he had quite a pricey orgasm!
Pictures or not....40 something men paying for young women as Sugar Daddies....there is always something creepy about an older man fooling around w a much younger woman
So a very small minority of women from very liberal colleges are high paid hookers. This is typical of the media. Create a theme, advertise it and convince the public this is the new normal. I suppose it sells papers, but what happens when the small number of weirdos decide to act on it?
See Sandy Hook.
This is how the media destroy lives. The marginal people who will fall for this and the overall society whose moral compass is being kicked out of whack. It's the continuing thread of social destruction at the heart of liberalism.
World's oldest profession. 'Nuff said.
Sugar Daddy Busted Trying To Meet Up With 17-Year-Old

DeKALB, Ill. (CBS) Is it prostitution, or just two people developing a relationship beneficial to both?
Some websites help so-called sugar daddies hook up with sugar babies. Now a New Jersey man faces charges after cops say they caught him on his way to a rendezvous with a 17-year-old girl.
CBS 2s Kristyn Hartman spoke with the young woman, who asked not to be identified. She disputes the use of the term prostitution.
They are like mentors, she says of the men she has met. I learned so much. I traveled so much. I really got great experiences from them.
CBS 2 asked if sex was involved in the encounters.
There is sex involved, she said.
And the young woman says theres payment in her case, about $6,000 or $7,000 per month.
She finds her sugar daddies on SeekingArrangement.com. Earlier this year, when she was still 17, she says she met Nicholas Cereste. According to prosecutors, the 47 year-old took a cab from Chicago to Northern Illinois University, where the teenage freshman was waiting for him.
The alleged plan was to take a cab all the way back to a Chicago hotel, but police found the pair first.
This is sex for money its prostitution via the Internet, DeKalb States Attorney Clay Campbell said Friday. Theres no question about it.
Now Cereste, who was in custody and bonded out Friday, faces two felony counts.
Im not too upset about it because I didnt really know him, the young woman told Hartman.
She says they were at the beginning of their arrangement and she lied about her age.
Clearly we have a problem when we have a 17 year-old on a website selling sexual services to businessmen, Campbell, the prosecutor, said.
The CEO of the Website that allegedly helped Cereste to find the teen defended sugar-daddy dating.
Were extremely clear that our website is really for people to form mutually beneficial relationships, Brandon Wade told Hartman.
The states attorney says its not just about alleged prostitution. He said he worries that a young girl will go on a cab ride and never return.
Advice: First Date With A Potential Sugar Daddy
Leave a comment
Q: hey!! i have my first actual meetup with a sugar daddy tomorrow and im terrified out of my mind!! do you have any advice? what should we talk about? how should i act?
A: So hopefully youve done some google searching on him (reverse image search, googled his email, name and number) and he checks out okay and you guys have agreed to meet in a public place.
The most important thing is to try and remain calm and be yourself. Its a little nerve wracking meeting up with someone in person that you met off the internet for the first time, but I guarantee after the first few minutes the initial shock will wear off, so to speak. Hes asked you out on a date because hes already interested in you so far and thats half the battle.
Im not sure if youve been on normal dates before but do as best you can to treat it like any other date with a regular guy.. Or like dinner with a friend you havent seen in forever, if thats more relevant to you. He will probably guide the conversation and just do your best to answer his questions, but dont over supply him with information about yourself. Just tell him enough to want to learn more. Whatever he asks you, after you answer make sure to say and how about you? so that it isnt one sided like youre on an interview. As for subjects to discuss, well whats going on with you? You can talk about what youre studying in school, movies, the weather, his job, if something interesting happens on the way to meet him up you can talk about that, you can get in to an entire conversation about whats on the menu if youre getting dinner and discuss food you like. Keep it light and casual. No weird dramatic stories, no failures or insecurities.
This is a simple way for you guys to get to know one another. Dont put too much thought in to making a good impression and dont be scared that if you dont say or do the right things hell hate you and never want to see you again. You may not even like him! This is not a life or death situation and the worst that happens is theres no second date. So what, big deal, theres 50 more where he came from. Good luck!
I Have a Boyfriend, but I Want a Sugar Daddy, Too
Its time again for Shortcuts. For every question, Ill give my advice in three sentences or less, because sometimes the answer to a persons question is so obvious and the need to hear it so great, being as clear and frank as possible is simply the best way to go. Today we discuss sugar babies, crushing on the bossman, and getting closure.
I am in a committed relationship with my boyfriend but at the same time Im thinking about having a sugar daddy to help me out financially. Obviously, if I have a sugar daddy, it would have to be completely discreet, but at the same time isnt that cheating? If I did have a sugar daddy, should I tell my boyfriend? Or whats done behind one closed door shouldnt be surfaced through to another? Am I crazy to seek out a sugar daddy that could help me out? - Confused Sugar Baby
Yes, prostituting yourself out while in a serious relationship with a guy who is unaware of your extracurricular activities is, indeed, cheating. How about maybe getting a job waiting tables?
Don't think my wife would go along with the idea with me having a a sweet thing on the side

22 Mar 2013
The World Anti-Doping Agency has today issued the following urgent notice:
Please inform your athletes as soon as possible.
It has come to WADA's attention that the black market substance GW501516 is being sold to and used by some athletes.
The side effect of this chemical compound is so serious that WADA is taking the rare step of warning "cheats" to ensure that there is complete awareness of the possible health risks to athletes who succumb to the temptation of using GW501516 for performance enhancement.
GW501516 was a developmental drug that was withdrawn from research by the pharmaceutical company and terminated when serious toxicities were discovered in pre-clinical studies .
Clinical approval has not, and will not be given for this substance.
However, GW501516 has been available for some months on the black market, through the Internet and elsewhere. Anti-Doping authorities have already seen its use by athletes, as there are a number of positive cases.Please pass this information on to your athletes as soon as possible.

Global financial integration and financial development opens the door to more external and domestic financing, higher growth, and broader risk diversification for governments, firms, and consumers in developing countries. However, they also entail risks and leave users exposed to the vagaries of financial markets.
The research program in this area examines issues related to financial globalization and financial development, for example, how they are linked, what drives them, the benefits and risks they entail, and how they affect growth and economic performance. The topics under study include capital flows, exchange rate policy, risk diversification, risk management, systemic risk, the propagation of financial shocks across countries, the macroeconomic effects of aid and debt forgiveness, the functioning of domestic and international financial institutions and markets, bank stability, access to finance, and financial crises.

And don't give S about his arm looking much better, I heard that garbage last year. Great, he's doing well in camp where he knows he wont get hit so theres no pressure. And that OL is as raw as it gets, 2 rookies at the most imortant positions who will have to overcome a major learning curve, then 2 old dudes who have been alright at best, Kendall was not Kendall last year and now hes a year older. And then Brandon Moore who played pretty average last year too. We're a few days away from the start and you will see what I'm talking about.
Yeah I saw what you were talking about. So did the Titans and the NFL for giving him the AFC player of the week honors.

Unauthorized Domestic Horses
Trespassing on Emery County
Grazing Allotment
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah, Price Field Office today
issued a Notice of intent to Impound for four domestic horses
trespassing on a grazing allotment in Emery County.
In early October, Price Field Office personnel were notified by the
permittee that unauthorized horses were grazing on the Icelander
Allotment. On Oct. 15, a BLM rangeland specialist located and
inspected the domestic horses and found no identifiable markings. The
four geldings- two Pintos, a Buckskin, and a Palomino-appear to be
domestic horses turned out by the owner in the area south of Highway 6
between Icelander Creek and Barrel Hill.
The BLM is seeking help from the public to reach the animals' owner.
The owner has five days after publication of the legal notice to
remove the horses from the allotment. If the horses are not removed,
the BLM will impound the animals. Because the horses are believed to
be domestic, they will be turned over to Emery County for disposal in
accordance with State of Utah
Livestock Laws (Utah Code Annotated Title 4, Utah Agriculture Code
Chapter 25. Estrays and Trespassing Animals 4-25-2 and 4-25-4). The
impounded horses are expected to eventually go to the livestock sale
barn in Salina, Utah.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land - the most
of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of
Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including
Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface
mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011,
recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more
than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000
American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that
collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion
will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a
$1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the
health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment
of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by
managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing,
mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural,
historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Cherished World War II medals taken during a burglary last year have been returned to the family of the man to whom they were awarded — a Filipino survivor of the Bataan Death March.
Nikki Neis considers it a miracle that the medals taken from her parents' Minneapolis home are once again in the family's possession. Her father, Roger Neis, died six years ago at age 87. Neis says the burglar didn't just take the medals, they took a legacy that was to be shared with her four brothers and grandchildren.
The Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/19izO5b ) says the attorney of the man convicted of the burglary recently brought the medals to the prosecutor.
Roger Neis was among the estimated 60,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war forcibly marched 80 miles by the Imperial Japanese Army. Thousands died during the march.

Skip to comments.White House Claims IRS Computer Crash Story Is Really True
Posted on 06/17/2014 8:18:26 AM PDT by mandaladon
White House spokesman Josh Earnest stonewalled reporters Monday, seeking an explanation for the administrations Friday-night claim that a computer crash wiped out all the emails between IRS chief Lois Lerner and other agencies, including the White House.
Youve never heard of a computer crashing before? Earnest told a reporter during a brief press gaggle while flying back to D.C. from President Barack Obamas fundraising trip to California.
A good faith effort has been made to find the missing emails, he said.
Skepticism about the administrations claim is indicative of the kinds of conspiracy that are propagated around this story, Earnest scoffed.
The claimed loss of emails have evoked much ridicule from GOP leaders, who argue that normal computer networks store backups of emails. Ridiculous. #WH has to get serious, reads a tweet from Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican Party.
From 2010 onward, Obamas IRS officials used their tax power to cripple fundraising and advocacy at many Republican-leaning tea party groups before the 2012 election.
IRS official Lois Lerner played a central role in the suppression effort, but has refused to explain how the scheme began, and if the White House was involved.
Administration officials promised to send copies of Lerners emails to House GOP investigators. But they now say they have no copies of her messages to and from senior officials in other agencies, because her computer crashed.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
Only someone stupid enough to vote for Obama would believe this crap.
Had ENOUGH Yet ?
IOW, he looked in the desk drawer................
Provide full documentation and forensics to confirm the emails were lost.
Otherwise everyone involved should be charged.
This sets a disgusting precedent and people cannot stand for it!
The White House is really telling you that they DESTROYED THE EMAILS on ALL Computers/Servers
The obama Administration:
Not even a smidgeon of corruption.
We should have stopped him at t he dinner roll.
If it is a true story then the IRS deliberately set up a system that deletes evidence. Defund it, now.
This press parrot is even worse than Jay Carney, because this one enjoys lying to the reporters.
Emails are on the senders and receivers computer. Lets not be stupid. Then there are two more parties...the service providers.
so they should subpoena all the RECIPIENTS of the email, suspected and known both.
And if anyone seriously thinks that those emails are not on a backup server somewhere, they are deluded. What, the NSA gives witches a bye?
Wouldn't the emails be on the sending end server as well as the receiving end server?
Yeah Michael Hasting's steering wheel turned and the vehicle sped up because he was high at the time. The fact that he was working on a story on CIA director, John Brennan, had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Actually that's what they want us to do - to ask for something else. They will then delay forever on that.
Just put people in jail and stop their paychecks. That's what they would do.
Jail Lerner. Jail Lerner. Jail Lerner.
Jail Lerner. Jail Lerner. Jail Lerner.
Jail Lerner. Jail Lerner. Jail Lerner.
Jail Lerner. Jail Lerner. Jail Lerner.
Jail Lerner. Jail Lerner. Jail Lerner.
Jail Lerner. Jail Lerner. Jail Lerner.
Giver her a summer vacation in jail to think it over.
If she needs more time give her Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years.
And when the new Congress begins, jail her. Jail her until she complies.
Earnest said with earnest.
So, sensitive government computers do not have backup drives?
What's the next whopper they'll come up with?
Sharyl Atkisson had a great blog about what the Republicans should ask for, in detail, from the regime about this "crash." It completely destroys this "computer dog ate my homework" sham.
She is one very bright lady and I wish all journalists had half of her dedication to the pursuit of truth.
If the White House is making this claim, then I know beyond all doubt that it is a lie.
Basically, the corrupt, deceitful, horrible people in the White House are saying, "Hey, we wouldn't lie to you, honest! If you don't believe me, just ask me again!"
They are asking us to believe that the file-server running the email service literally went up in smoke - along with ALL the backup tapes??!!
How is this level of obfuscation NOT criminal?
If I "lose" my entrance ticket on the Mass Pike and go one exit, I pay the maximum amount on the ticket.
In the same vein, if Lerner's evidence can't be produced, then the entire white hut, IRS, and throw in the rest of them as well, should go to prison.
The real explanation is not a crashed computer. This detailed explanation of how the IRS system does not make it possible to save emails is ENLIGHTENING. IT USES A SELF PURGING SYSTEM BY THE FOLLOWING MEANS...
They really take us for complete a$$holes. Actually, they're partially right. Half the country is an a$$hole - the half that voted for the current administration.
We all need to stop paying taxes.......oh we can't!
because we are slaves to the state masters!!!!
Without belaboring the point, I've made the case very succinctly in other threads that this just isn't true. Besides the very obvious violation of numerous records retention policies in place since the 1970s, I can personally tell you that the federal government has backups EVERYWHERE. It would take a monumental, concerted effort for a group of people to wipe all copies of this data, and even then, I bet there are stubs or scratch files somewhere with the data in it.
What's that phrase? Willing suspension of disbelief... Yeah, that's the one.
is this satire? Do we live in at Banana Republic where we must believe are great leader scored 30 under par on 18 holes of golf? how long did it take for us to be labeled conspiracy theorists?this is the most impossible story I have heard in the past 6 years, and that is really something!
This is why there have been no tax audits for those years - they lost everyone's tax information in the computer crash too.
Simply amazing. We have an administration brazenly involved in, amongst other things, evidence tampering, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and failure to comply with lawful subpoenas. And yet not one legislator appears to be doing a damned thing about it.
Then they claim that they recycled backup tapes every 6 months... from an agency that requires us to keep records for 7 years...
This would totally fail a Sarbanes-Oxley audit.
Imagine ... if you will ... a dimension of time and space where this was said to the MSM by the press secretary of George W. Boooosshh ....
When the .gov comes calling on me for what ever reason,,,
I will use these same pathetic excuses on them with a straight face and say sorry. . .
"But they now say they have no copies of her messages to and from senior officials in other agencies, because her computer crashed."
Do these jerks thing anyone will actually believe this? Emails are stored on the server, not solely on her machine. Even if the server crashed, there is a backup, or transaction records that can reconstruct all the mail.
So.....Computer crash deniers.
We're getting a lot more "josh" than we are "earnest".
And there are those who claim to believe it only because they support the criminality of this admin -
they love the idea of the government being used to punish opposition and then being able to dare anyone to do anything about it.
I don't think he is intentionally trying to fool the citizenry. He is actually stupid enough himself to believe that a crash of Lerner's computer alone would wipe out all evidence of her emails. If he doesn't understand corporate email technology, he should check with someone who does before doubling down on the embarrassingly idiotic pc crash excuse.
At least Powerline's blog should get the facts straight, IRS mail servers are not Outlook servers, outlook is a mail client not a server. The server is called Microsoft Exchange.
"The story is entirely reasonable because its true and its a fact,
A perfect example of circular reasoning. No surprise that it would come from an 0bama sycophant. They know that most Americans don't know how to reason critically, and will be fooled.
I agree with you here, I think he is too stupid to understand. If there was anyone in the media with an IQ over 85 they would be all over this. Idiocracy.
The next claim of truth by this White House that is actually TRUE will be the first.
Not really. It is against the law to purge emails that conduct government business. Any email purged from electronic media must first be hard copied due to FOI ACT. Lerner either has to produce them or she will end up in a court of law for violating that law.
There is no way that the current administration would lie to us, is there?
So, next year when I "file online" the IRS will be okay if they never get the payment and I can't produce the accompanying email I sent?
Its pretty obvious by now that this crime goes all the way up to barry, and they'd rather take the fall for destroying evidence rather than for what the emails really told.
Is it also possibly really true when it is stated the creature in the oval office is actually a monkey's uncle? The regime has lied many times before. They continue to lie now. Truth is such a foreign concept to them.
So, we have the Justice Department investigating the IRS and they are buying this? If they are this gullible how could they ever get to the bottom of fast & furious or the 8 billion dollars missing from the State Department or Solyndra or...............................Oh.

Appliance RepairCertificate of Applied Science
Program Director: Joseph Remias
Academic Advisor(s): WH-Remias; WT-Remias/Soly; NM-Remias/Slie
This is a technical education program designed to prepare students to do routine maintenance and repair of gas and electrical appliances such as ranges, refrigerators, washers, dryers and dishwashers. Classroom lectures, demonstrations and discussions will be supplemented by laboratory work and field trips to businesses employing major appliance repair technicians. Students completing the program should be able to find employment in either small or major appliance servicing companies such as small appliance businesses, large service centers, malls, high rise apartment complexes as well as self-employed.
Employment avenues include, but are not limited to, appliance installers, repair technicians, sales representatives, microwave specialists, appliance repair and maintenance troubleshooters and maintenance workers.
Home appliance repairers held nearly 51,000 jobs in 1998. More than 15 percent of repairers are self-employed. About one-half of the salaried repairers worked in retail establishments such as department stores, household appliance stores and fuel dealers. Others worked for gas and electric utility companies, electrical repair shops, and wholesalers.
Almost every community in the country employs appliance repairers; a high concentration of jobs are found in more populated areas. Employment is relatively steady because the demand for appliance repair services continues and jobs are expected to be increasingly concentrated in larger companies. Earnings of appliance repairers vary according to the skill level required to fix equipment, geographic location, and the type of equipment repaired.
Fall Semester
Spring Semester
Total Hours in Program – 31

Dissension among the ranks
The latest political victim of the 2012 elections appears to be Republican solidarity. The party known for its ability to keep all its soldiers marching in the same direction suddenly has troops scattered all over the field.
On tax reform: A willingness to discuss revenues (i.e., "taxes," which, apparently, politicians of neither party can any longer bring themselves to say) is in. No-new-taxes czar Grover Norquist is out. Or at least out with a few high-profile Republicans who are saying they no longer feel beholden to his (in)famous pledge.
On the potential nomination of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State: Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has gone from "do anything to prevent her nomination" mode to "she deserves the right to explain herself" mode. Other Republicans are likewise talking in more conciliatory tones about the possible nomination.
On voter fraud: Two former high-ranking Florida Republicans told the Palm Beach Post that the state's new early-voting restrictions had nothing to do with voter fraud and everything to do with suppressing an early vote that party leaders felt favored Democrats. The Republicans, including former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, said voter fraud was simply a cover story. Of course, this cat has been out of the bag since June 23, when Republican Pennsylvania state legislator Mike Turzai said of his state's newly passed voting restrictions, "Voter ID, which is going to allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done."
Ironically (or, poetic-justicely, if you prefer), President Obama carried both states, including Florida, where some voters waited as long as seven hours to cast their ballots.
Take heart, party faithful: There's still one political arena in which Democrats are considerably more disorganized — to the point that some of them will even join forces with Republicans and cost their own party the majority: Keep your eyes on the New York State Senate.

Pastor's Wife Wrong About Mainstream Sperm-Swallowing Habits
Here's Magen, a pastor's wife, up on the Family Feud, answering a question about "things you put in your mouth but don't swallow" with the word, "sperm." A pastor's wife! Saying that word! On the television, which kids sometimes watch. The end of our depraved species is nigh.
Magen seems so confident that her answer's going to show up on the big board. But when embarrassed Steve Harvey checks to see if she's right, the big Red X of Wrong sounds. Somebody's way out of touch with mainstream America (accurately represented by Family Feud survey respondents).
Thanks to BuzzerBlog for reminding us that this onetime benign Richard Dawson vehicle has become a dirty dirty sex and penis show where the dirty people with sex and penises on their minds go. Survey Said. (Also: drugs.) Kinda makes us nostalgic for more innocent times, but we're old and increasingly set in our ways.

text: I was in the seasonal aisle of Tesco, looking at the seasonal special crisp flavours when I noticed a new one; Christmas Pudding and Brandy Sauce flavour. What?! on crisps?! I can understand Turkey and Stuffing or Roast Pork with Calvados Apple Sauce as those are savoury, but Christmas Pudding flavour crisps??? errr.. no thanks!

Photo Assumption: Slum Love & the Turks

Jennifer Lopez was in Istanbul yesterday and hit up a club with her Slum Love Casper Smart. I love these pictures. See how the Turks are NOT feeling the Slum at all? He's shrinking into that couch. He's about to disappear into that couch. He's barely there. He's trying to be there -- HI! It's me! Over here! -- and the Turks are clearly not having it. They know. We all know. Only she doesn't know.
