FBI Blows It: Supposed Terror Plot Against NY Synagogues Is BogusBy Robert Dreyfuss, The Nation May 23, 2009 Alternet.org By the now, it's maddeningly familiar. A scary terrorist plot is announced. Then it's revealed that the suspects are a hapless bunch of ne'er-do-wells or run-of-the-mill thugs without the slightest connection to any terrorists at all, never mind to Al Qaeda. Finally, the last piece of the puzzle: the entire plot is revealed to have been cooked up by a scummy government agent-provocateur. I've seen this movie before. In this case, the alleged perps -- Onta Williams, James Cromitie, David Williams, and Laguerre Payen -- were losers, ex-cons, drug addicts. Al Qaeda they're not. Without the assistance of the agent who entrapped them, they would never have dreamed of committing political violence, nor would they have had the slightest idea about where to acquire plastic explosives or a Stinger missile. That didn't stop prosecutors from acting as if they'd captured Osama bin Laden himself. Noted the Los Angeles Times: RELATED:The Newburgh Four -- And The Goverment Mole Who Betrayed Them By Zachary Roth - May 22, 2009 We're starting to get a rich picture of the four hapless Jihadis who were arrested Wednesday night for plotting to bomb two New York synagogues, as well as the FBI informant who deceived them. And the overall portrait that's emerging is that of a group of struggling, disaffected petty criminals, who bonded at a Newburgh, NY mosque over having spent time in prison, before being taken in by a Pakistani immigrant looking to win leniency for a crime of his own.

Two Sides of the Same Coin... Heads-HeadsGuest Editorial by Sibel Edmonds "In politics we presume that everyone who knows how to get votes knows how to administer a city or a state. When we are ill...we do not ask for the handsomest physician, or the most eloquent one." --- Plato During the campaign, amid their state of elation, many disregarded Presidential Candidate Senator Barack Obama's past record and took any criticism of these past actions as partisan attacks deserving equally partisan counterattacks. Some continued their reluctant support after candidate Obama became grand finalist and prayed for the best. And a few still continue their rationalizing and defense, with illogical excuses such as 'He's been in office for only 20 days, give the man a break!' and 'He's had only 50 days in office, give him a chance!' and currently, 'be reasonable - how much can a man do in 120 days?!' I am going to give this logic, or lack of, a slight spicing of reason, then, turn it around, and present it as: If 'the man' can do this much astounding damage, whether to our civil liberties, or to our notion of democracy, or to government integrity, in 'only' 120 days, may God help us with the next [(4 X 365) - 120] days.

OBL: The Eight-Year-Long Psychological OperationMay 23, 2009 OSAMA BIN LADEN: DEAD OR ALIVE? by David Ray Griffin is a crucially important and timely examination of the whole range of evidence bearing on the question, is Osama bin Laden still alive? The importance of this question for the present comes from the fact that the United States under its new president is escalating its offensive in Afghanistan and expanding the war into Pakistan, and has claimed that the "hunt for bin Laden" is one of its principal motivations for doing so. Either explicitly or implicitly, the US government and major media outlets such as the New York Times and Washington Post continue to assert that bin Laden is alive, hiding in the tribal territories on the "AfPak" border, posing an undiminished threat to US security. In his gripping new book, Griffin strikes at the root of this pretext for war by closely examining all the evidence that has come out since September 11, 2001, either indicating that bin Laden is still alive or that he is in fact dead. His conclusion is that bin Laden is certainly dead, and that in all likelihood he died in very late 2001. Griffin shows that many US experts in counterterrorism and counterinsurgency came to this very same conclusion long ago, but their views, which do not support the continuation of what President Obama, borrowing the term from Dick Cheney, calls "the long war," have received very little media attention. Were they to do so, one of the main props for the war regime would be undermined.

Friday, May 22 2009 - Resources and Materials
New Book by David Ray Griffin, 'Osama bin Laden: Dead or Alive?'May 22, 2009 The US's political discourse and foreign policy in recent years has been based on the assumption that Osama bin Laden is still alive. George W. Bush promised as president that he would get Osama bin Laden "dead or alive" and has been widely criticized for failing to do so. The US's present military escalation in Afghanistan is said to be necessary to "get Osama bin Laden." The news media regularly announce the appearance of new "messages from bin Laden." But what if Osama bin Laden died in December 2001 -- which is the last time a message to or from him was intercepted? In this book, David Ray Griffin examines the evidence for the claim -- made by everyone from former CIA agent Robert Baer to Oliver North -- that bin Laden is surely no longer with us. He analyzes the purported messages from bin Laden and finds that, as many have suspected, they do not provide evidence of bin Laden's existence after 2001. This leads naturally to the question: if Osama bin Laden did indeed die in 2001, how and why have dozens of "messages from bin Laden" appeared since then? Griffin's meticulous analysis supports above all one simple and urgent conclusion: if Osama bin Laden is dead, the US should not be using its troops and treasure to hunt him down.

Zelikow Caught in a Whopper; Made False Statements to Author about Criminal Referral for NORAD, FAABy Kevin Fenton May 22, 2009 History Commons Groups Zelikow made the claim he was not involved in the initial stages of the dispute in response to an allegation made by commission staffer John Azzarello and relayed by Shenon. After the staff investigators drafted a memo for the commissioners in early April 2004 outlining why they thought NORAD and FAA officials had deliberately lied to them to overstate the military's readiness during the attacks, Zelikow "just buried that memo," according to Azzarello. In response, Zelikow claimed that he had not even known of the issue at the start. The implication was that, as he had not known of it, it could not be him that was orchestrating--or even involved in--a dispute between the staff investigators and the commission's lawyers, Daniel Marcus and Steve Dunne.

9/11, Pentagon, and Missile Defense: $130 Billion on Pentagon's Missile Defense Fails to Stop Four Airliners on 9/11by Fred Burks May 21, 2009 WantToKnow.info Remember Star Wars? Do you remember the Pentagon's Strategic Defense Initiative to build a massive missile defense system that raised so much controversy during the Reagan and first Bush years? 130 billion of our tax dollars were poured into developing that system. It was designed to detect and intercept missiles fired from an unknown destination traveling at well over 10 times the speed of a commercial airliner, and to shoot them down in 15 minutes or less, before they reached their US targets. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) website, "a defensive system may need to hit a warhead smaller than an oil drum that is traveling above the atmosphere at speeds greater than 13,000 miles per hour." The CBO report states that missile defense and intercept systems must take down an ICBM in a matter of minutes or it is all over. You may remember that before 9/11, there were a number of tests of the Pentagon's missile defense systems. Some tests failed, while others succeeded. But there is an important question here. If these sophisticated military systems were designed to detect missiles fired from unknown locations at over 13,000 mph and shoot them down in mere minutes, why on 9/11 could they not detect any one of the four large airliners traveling at a mere 600 mph, especially when two of them were known to be lost for over 40 minutes before they crashed?

41 U.S. Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence Agency Veterans Challenge the Official Account of 9/11by Alan Miller, firstname.lastname@example.com May 18, 2009 PatriotsQuestion911.com Official Account of 9/11: "Terribly Flawed," "Laced with Contradictions," "a Joke," "a Cover-up" May 18, 2009 -- More than 40 U.S. Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence Agency veterans have severely criticized the official account of 9/11 and most have called for a new investigation. It is outrageous that most Americans are entirely unaware of their publicly stated concerns -- a direct result of the refusal of national print and broadcast news organizations to cover this extremely important issue. There is no denying the credibility of these individuals or their loyalty to their country as demonstrated by their years of service collecting and analyzing information and planning and carrying out operations critical to the national security of the United States. These 41 individuals formerly served in the U.S. State Department, the National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the branches of the U.S. Military. They are listed in the article by their branch of service.

Mystery surrounds prison death of terrorist whose testimony was key to Iraq invasionAustalia's Sunday Herald has just printed a significant article on the death
of Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi, "Curveball," on the basis of whose tortured
testimony justification for the Iraq War was based. Al-Libi had been visited
by a human rights group representative immediately before his "suicide"
in a Libyan prison. To date, this incredibly important story is strikingly under-reported in the corporate American media, even though we now know "[t]he fact he lied 'to avoid torture' was verified by 'a bipartisan report of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence,' according to a press release Monday on Al-Libi's death by Human Rights Watch (HRW)." We have also posted below excellent reporting from Jeff Kaye, blogger at Firedoglake.com. (Sincere thanks go out to so many great, GREAT investigative reporters like this now blogging tirelessly so we get at least some glimpse of what's going on in the world!!) And for more information, we previously posted Andy Worthington and Brad Friedman's important reporting
on this.

May 20, 2009 INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION: Islamist dies in Tripoli shortly after human rights group visit from Fred Bridgland in Libya THE ISLAMIST terrorist who was the key source of the false intelligence used to trigger the US and UK 2003 military invasion of Iraq has been found dead in a Libyan prison cell. Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi allegedly commited suicide by hanging in the prison where he was being held in the Libyan capital, Tripoli. His death followed a visit by a team from Human Rights Watch, one of the world's leading independent organisations dedicated to defending and protecting human rights. ---------------------------Investigating an Embarrassment: More Questions on Al-Libi's Torture, Death The news of the death by possible suicide of former CIA "ghost prisoner", Ali Mohamed al-Fakheri, also known as Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi, has caused only a small murmur in the U.S. press. The Washington Post''s Peter Finn wrote a story on it Monday, noting the key fact that it was the tortured confession of al-Libi in an Egyptian prison, where he had been rendered by the U.S. and subjected to beatings and mock burial, that was used by then-Secretary of State Colin Powell in his February 2003 presentation to the UN as evidence that Iraq was in league with the Al Qaeda terrorists and/or interested in using WMD. Bmaz made this point the other night when writing on the initial reports of al-Libi''s death. Marcy Wheeler, in a new article, notes some suspicious matters concerning the timing of the events. The newly breaking story has also now been picked up by McClatchy (H/T Perris). Both Marcy and the McClatchy article note the "relentless pressure" put on interrogators to find some link between Al Qaeda and Saddam. Powell''s claims that Al Qaeda had been trained in chemical and biological weaponry by Saddam Hussein''s regime was a key element of the U.S. drive to invade and occupy Iraq. But al-Libi recanted this story in January 2004. According to the Washington Post, the Defense Intelligence Agency and some CIA analysts weren''t apparently convinced. The fact he lied "to avoid torture" was verified by "a bipartisan report of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence," according to a press release Monday on Al-Libi''s death by Human Rights Watch (HRW).

Court Pulls Curtain Over White House E-mailsby Chris George May 19, 2009 OMBwatch.org The United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled today that the White House Office of Administration (OA) does not need to respond to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Circuit Judge Thomas Griffith, writing for the 3-0 majority, concluded: "the Office of Administration is not [covered by FOIA] because it performs only operational and administrative tasks in support of the President and his staff and therefore, under our precedent, lacks substantial independent authority."

To the Editor,
I would like to let people know that religion has no place in politics and that the Lord says not to be a part of world and follow his world, not the word of man. The problem with this country does not have anything to do with these so-called Christians who put politics and religion in the same sentence.
I don't know what everyone else has read or been fed, but I never heard Obama say he was Muslim. However, if he were it is his right as American to be. In regards to what people do with their lives, we are not to judge, but God will put that judgment out there. Obviously they have not read the Bible because it is a sin to judge others.
Second of all, I never heard Obama say that he was for gays or for abortion, but what he said was it was not his job to tell people how to live their lives. Which is what so many people try to do. In my opinion it takes a very insecure person and prejudiced one to judge someone.
George W. Bush sent this nation in a downward spiral, and I don't see anyone complaining about that. Now they want to go back and put another one in office to send this country into another war and downward spiral. We cannot afford to lose any more of our loved ones over nonsense. We cannot afford another Bush in office and I am grateful that we still have enough people with common sense to see that. If over half the country saw that, what does that say about the Obama bashers?

My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain. Adams, Douglas (1952 - 2001)Numbers written on restaurant bills within the confines of restaurants do not follow the same mathematical laws as numbers written on any other pieces of paper in any other parts of the Universe. Adams, Douglas (1952 - 2001)The first nonabsolute number is the number of people for whom the table is reserved. This will vary during the course of the first three telephone calls to the restaurant, and then bear no apparent relation to the number of people who actually turn up, or to the number of people who subsequently join them after the show/match/party/gig, or to the number of people who leave when they see who else has turned up. Adams, Douglas (1952 - 2001)Bistromathics itself is simply a revolutionary new way of understanding the behavior of numbers. Just as Einstein observed that space was not an absolute but depended on the observer's movement in space, and that time was not an absolute, but depended on the observer's movement in time, so it is now realized that numbers are not absolute, but depend on the observer's movement in restaurants. Adler, AlfredIn the company of friends, writers can discuss their books, economists the state of the economy, lawyers their latest cases, and businessmen their latest acquisitions, but mathematicians cannot discuss their mathematics at all. And the more profound their work, the less understandable it is. Adler, AlfredThe mathematical life of a mathematician is short. Work rarely improves after the age of twenty-five or thirty. If little has been accomplished by then, little will ever be accomplished. Adler, AlfredEach generation has its few great mathematicians, and mathematics would not even notice the absence of the others. They are useful as teachers, and their research harms no one, but it is of no importance at all. A mathematician is great or he is nothing. Page: 1 of 3 | Next |

Aerial Art by Spectral Q ~ Photography by J. Emilio Flores
In an ongoing series, Keren Weinstein, our Guest Life-Balance Editor, took a much needed trip. More than the need to go on vacation to a new locale, she wanted to find her own sense of balance and thus Project Detox began. Thankfully, Keren will share her journey which will provide a little insight into our needs of finding our equilibrium.
Bags packed and ready to jet set.
The boys are in a different time zone and I have confirmation that they are more than OK! and are actually having a fun'tabulous father-n-son bonding vacation.
Being on the cusp between genuinely happy for them and envy of their time together without me is exactly the point where I can truly allow myself to disconnect and have a guilt free solo trip for Me (remember, I have to chuck Universal Mommy Guilt out before I depart on my first adventure and I am a Jewish mother…so pressure's on).
It is amazing how the Guilt naturally gets swallowed up by the fact that they are having a better time there and you know your son has a smile on his face even without you around.
Mommy Me time has officially started.
Ever notice when you choose to set an Intention for yourself the world opens up to you as if you are wearing 3D glasses with that Intention?
Same world. Different opportunities & experiences.
We have all clipped out a limited edition (AKA Must Have) LV handbag or Gucci Boots from Harper's Bazaar, hung it up at our desks and noticed that somehow they made their way to our closets.
This is not a new concept by any means and has been around way before me from Kabalah to the Secret but for a full-time working mother on a mission to restore balance into her life this self-taught-via-experience concept could not come at a better time.
The above picture, and one that captures the essence of what I set out to do on Project Detox, was created by an amazing producer in L.A that I met up with (co-founder of unitenow.org). In this picture, over 4,000 school children from Los Angeles spelled out "Restore Balance" on a beach in celebration of the 12th Annual Ocean Day Kids' Adopt-A-Beach Clean-Up. No, my Intention did not get this amazing project with 4000 kids to happen but it did bring me to meeting up with Mark and literally stumbling upon the work he created that captures the energy of my Intention for Project Detox – to restore balance.
First Stop – Tucson Arizona.

Preeclampsia: Creatinine Clearance Test
Topic Overview
When muscles use energy, they release a waste product called creatinine into the blood. The kidneys then filter creatinine from the blood. From the kidneys, creatinine passes out of the body through the urinary tract. If the kidneys are not functioning normally, high amounts of creatinine remain in the blood while low amounts are passed out in the urine.
During a normal pregnancy, increased blood volume and kidney function cause an increase in the amount of creatinine filtered out of the blood and passed into the urine. A measurement of this amount is called the creatinine clearance value. If the kidneys are damaged by Reference preeclampsia Opens New Window, the creatinine clearance value decreases because the kidneys are filtering less creatinine out of the blood. The amount of kidney damage can be estimated by the amount of decrease in the creatinine clearance value.
The creatinine clearance test requires a blood sample and a sample of all the urine collected for 24 hours (24-hour urine sample).
For more information, see the topic Creatinine and Creatinine Clearance.

Mayor Rusty Moody said that would be among the benefits if Eunice and Florida Gas come to an amicable settlement over mis-measured gas billings to the city.
Persistent loss above acceptable levels has plagued the Eunice natural gas accounting for several years.
It had been thought gas was escaping in leaks in the city system, but the fact that the losses jumped again early this year after repairs last year of a major leak caused the city to look elsewhere.
Moody retained consultant C.J. Arnold of Sulphur to analysis the city system.
A leakage rate around 5 percent or less is an industry-acceptable figure. The city's shrinkage rate jumped again to more than 50 percent in March, April and May of this year.
It turns out that the gas wasn't escaping.
Instead, it was being mismeasured, Moody said, as it flowed through the the Florida Gas meter on Fournerat Road.
A city study sets the cost of the improperly measured gas over the past three years at about $125,000 yearly.
Three years ago, the Morris administration had meters at the city's major users checked and re-calibrated and asked Florida Gas to be sure its meter was counting accurately.
It seemed for a while that things were okay but variables involved evidently led the meter to begin again to malfunction. Such things as pressure and temperature can contribute to measurement variations.
Moody said the city is installing its own meter in the transmission line.
The difference between what the city pays for gas and what it sells it for has fallen so drastically that Moody's current budget includes a proposed an increase in the city's base rate.
"That may not be necessary," he said, "if we get this worked out right with Florida Gas."
The mayor also said the administration is studying a plan to begin replacement of all the city's 4,500 gas meters, doing 10 to 15 percent a year until completed.
He said the approach would be to first put new meters in yards in which dogs pose a hazard to meter readers. The new meters will have remote scanning capability, eliminating the need for a city employee to enter a dog's space.

Antioxidants and Your Immune System: Super Foods for Optimal Health
One of the best ways to keep your immune system strong and prevent colds and flu is to shop your supermarket's produce aisle.
Experts say a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help you ward off infections like colds and flu. That's because these super foods contain immune-boosting antioxidants.
What are antioxidants? They are vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that protect and repair cells from damage caused by free radicals. Many experts believe this damage plays a part in a number of chronic diseases, including hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), cancer, and arthritis. Free radicals can also interfere with your immune system. So, fighting off damage with antioxidants helps keep your immune system strong, making you better able to ward off colds, flu, and other infections.
Antioxidants for Immunity: Where to Find Them
Adding more fruit and vegetables of any kind to your diet will improve your health. But some foods are higher in antioxidants than others. The three major antioxidant vitamins are beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E. You'll find them in colorful fruits and vegetables – especially those with purple, blue, red, orange, and yellow hues. To get the biggest benefits of antioxidants, eat these foods raw or lightly steamed; don't overcook or boil.
Beta-carotene and other carotenoids: Apricots, asparagus, beets, broccoli, cantaloupe, carrots, corn, green peppers, kale, mangoes, turnip and collard greens, nectarines, peaches, pink grapefruit, pumpkin, squash, spinach, sweet potato, tangerines, tomatoes, and watermelon
Vitamin C: Berries, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cantaloupe, cauliflower, grapefruit, honeydew, kale, kiwi, mangoes, nectarines, orange, papaya, red, green or yellow peppers, snow peas, sweet potato, strawberries, and tomatoes
Vitamin E: Broccoli, carrots, chard, mustard and turnip greens, mangoes, nuts, papaya, pumpkin, red peppers, spinach, and sunflower seeds
Other super foods that are rich in antioxidants include:
- Prunes
- Apples
- Raisins
- All berries
- Plums
- Red grapes
- Alfalfa sprouts
- Onions
- Eggplant
- Beans
Vitamins aren't the only antioxidants in food. Other antioxidants that may help boost immunity include:
- Zinc: Found in oysters, red meat, poultry, beans, nuts, seafood, whole grains, fortified cereals, and dairy products
- Selenium: Found in Brazil nuts, tuna, beef, poultry and fortified breads, and other grain products

Barbie Who?
Well, did you know Barbie was based on a sex toy?
I came across this information while at a toy museum a few years ago. The museum was having a special Barbie exhibit, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the doll.
Imagine my surprise, when I discovered Barbie was well...a rip-off.
This is the original Barbie Doll from 1959.
This is the Lilli doll, a popular German sex toy, in 1950.
Lilli was an immensely popular cartoon character in Germany during 1950s. The blonde, baby-faced 20-something-year-old secretary was sassy, brazen, materialistic, and vain. She slept with men for expensive meals and handbags. She played dumb when challenged by authority. Male readers loved her.
The magazine which ran the Lilli comic strip decided to make a doll out of its famous sex symbol. The doll was created with a racy hour-glass figure and a sexy red pout. She wore cute little night club clothes. The sex toy was sold at adult stores and tobacco shops as a gag gift.
But the lecherous men who enjoyed the comic strip could have cared less about the doll. To the magazine's astonishment, the Lilli doll became a sensation among little girls. They adored buying new clothes for Lilli and brushing her golden locks.
But parents didn't like going to sex shops to buy their daughters' favorite new toy, so the doll started being sold everywhere. Accessories, clothes, and doll houses were also made available.
In the mid-1950s, Ruth Handler, the wife of a Mattel co-founder, took a trip to Germany with her daughters. She spotted the Lilli doll and bought a few to take home. In 1959, she debuted her new teenage fashion doll Barbie to the American public.
It would become the most famous toy in the world.
Did you know about Barbie's German predecessor, Lilli?

hahahahahahahahahahahaha why doesn't this information shock me hahahaha ofcorse the might i say stupid people stupidly let their child play with that stereotypical doll hahahaha why not hahaha realizing it was a adult toy would mean they would have to say no to the screaming child, (why the child was in the sex shop in the first place i don't know hahaha) but ways the parent would have to say no to the screaming child and that would take actual parenting, which would take the remove of their heads from their asses hahaha im sorry im ranting hahaha, its does sadden me though that a vain, lets just face it whore of a doll (her original character in Germany) became the most idolized symbol for little girls in the world, but its sad how its has effect generations of girls if you look at the girls around today they dress in extremely revealing clothing (cleavage, short shots/skirts, that whole mess) even little girls in like kindergarten are wearing little skimpy out-fits just last week i say a little girl no older the 6 in the shortest dress i ever did see!! i was appalled! i cant believe parents let their childern they their kids dress like that, and it doesn't shock me either because look at the new barbies the stupids Bratz dolls wholly crap those things are slutastic! just slutterific!!! its sad to see all the sexual influence there is on young girls/children these days, its disgusting, but for some reason the public allows it to continue, blind to the influence it has of feature generations. that being said i just loved this post hahaha i learned something new that i had no idea about and it made me thing haha i always love your posts, you have so much heart in what you write and it really comes out in the final post :) they are fun to read and they are always on a great subject! :) i always cant wait for the next one hahaha i check like everyday hahahaha you are a great writer! :) keep up the amazing work!!! :) and thank you so much for you sweetest comments on my blog deary! :) they make my day!! :)

I can not believe a sex toy became so popular with young girls. Ha!
I also can't believe Barbie was a rip off. Well, as they say: there is no such thing as an original idea. - June 4, 2012 at 3:50 AM
- The Dainty Dolls House said...
Awesome! I didn't know this either, but it doesn't really surprise me or that the idea was pretty much stolen by some American broad!! lol!! Trying to make it wholesome, lol! Strange parents let their girls play with a doll intended for other purposes. Really makes sense why so many grew up with warped conceptions of themselves and other women. Really rather funny!! xx

That Lilli comic strip makes me think of Valley of the Dolls for some reason. It's kind of cute! Though I had no clue that Barbie was modeled after that. Maybe Lilli was Germany's answer to Betty Boop, or something? :/

You always teach me something interesting, JenFab. I had no idea there was a Lilli who Barbie was based on...or copied from, I should say.

But haven't you heard? Barbie doesn't need a man any more; she's now a doctor, dentist, a fashion designer...
I loved Barbie when I was little. They had this "mixed" Barbie that my mom got me. I loved her. My sister ripped off all their heads.

My bestfriend in high school was a male, and were perfect match. She met a girl but the girl's dad was not in favor for my best friend. So, every time we visit the girl, my best friend would beg for my help, by pretending i was his girl friend, holding hands together, and the father will allow us to enter their house.
Inside, they will shoo me away so that they can talk sweetly. Lol those were the days. I miss my best friend, he's now living in China. - June 6, 2012 at 4:29 AM

Many virtual fax companies will even offer to give you an incoming internet fax number for free, so that you can try out their service risk-free before you decide to sign up fully. The document will arrive to you in an email as an attachment. Loan applicants will only present their employment record and must submit a proof of capacity to pay. Road Runner is a known cable internet service provider in the US, a division of Warner Cable. They genuinely are less costly than using conventional faxing by means of the old fashioned fax machine. Just like the first example, the free service is good for limited number of transmittals. If they have a laptop computer, portable scanner and portable printer they're as good as in the office. Faxing is done via this software for fax. You also have secure online storage where only you can access them in your online account with your username and password. People who belong to salaried class often have to maintain a strict monthly budget.

Cinderella's Slipper
I was wondering if anyone has ordered one of these and what was it like Was it as delicious as it looks or overpriced for what it is.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

I was looking at hotels in north Pattaya, and this was the only one available. All 6-7 others were fully booked. The service was really poor, from the reception to the restaurant/bar. No one looked happy and the service personnel did not make me feel welcomed at all. The rooms were budget which is understandable considering the relatively low price... More

Mass Shootings on the Rise, Even As Violent Crime Falls
Although rates of gun homicide have continued to fall in the United States since the early 1990s, the public is not generally aware of that fact. But new concern about mass shootings—and an explosion of media interest in a number of high-profile massacres during the past year—may be justified by new criminological research.
Researchers at the Texas State University School of Criminal Justice analyzed 84 shooting events between 2000 and 2010, and found that the frequency of the events is increasing—and that the leading weapon of mass shooters was the pistol, followed by the rifle and the shotgun.
"In the wake of the tragic active shooter attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, police administrators are struggling both to respond to their citizens' concerns and to ensure that their departments are prepared should an attack happen in their jurisdictions," reads the report [PDF]. "It is our hope that the information contained here will provide police administrators with the data needed to base their active shooter preparations on empirical evidence."
The data paints a picture of diverse, bloody encounters, with a median of four individuals shot and two deaths per episode.
While some shooters surrender or commit suicide before law enforcement arrive, others engage "aggressively" with the police, with one in five incidents further complicated by taking place in open, outdoor spaces.
Out of the three cases in which armed bystanders ended the confrontation by shooting the attacker, two were by off-duty police officers and one was by a US marine. However, report author J. Pete Blair disputes easy conclusions about the role of bystanders in halting mass shootings.
"While armed civilian intervention has been rare, it has occurred and stopped events," he said. "Arguments can easily be made either way and will primarily be driven from ideological starting points."
Early tracking suggests that mass shootings have continued to increase in frequency since 2010, Blair said.
Mass shootings are still a minor threat compared to other types of shooting deaths.
According to the FBI, mass shootings in 2010 accounted for less than one percent of homicide victims.
