'Glee' first look: John Stamos' Dr. Carl kisses Emma
"Glee's" highly anticipated "Britney/Brittany" episode on Tuesday (Sept. 28) isn't just about the pop princess. It also marks the debut of Dr. Carl, the dentist played by John Stamos.
In Zap2it's first look, Dr. Carl makes a surprise visit to Emma ( Jayma Mays), who of course hates surprises, and then kisses her on the mouth in public ... in front of Will ( Matthew Morrison).
"Do you grind your teeth?" Carl then asks Will. You can take the dentist out of the dentist's office, but ... you know.
Oh, you know that Will can't be happy about this, but he's certainly putting up a good front.
We can't help but love John Stamos, even if he is getting in between Will and Emma!
How do you like Carl? Is it Tuesday yet?

IOWA CITY, Iowa Jerry Strom, a mainstay during an era of change for Iowa men's basketball, has retired after 33 years with the program.
Strom, 60, has worked for six Iowa men's basketball coaches after taking a graduate assistant job under Lute Olson in 1981. He was promoted to director of operations, a position he held for 30 years, in 1983. He worked under Olson, George Raveling, Tom Davis, Steve Alford, Todd Lickliter and Fran McCaffery.
Strom handled the program's day-to-day activities and assumed travel responsibilities this year when former trainer John Streif retired. For 26 years Strom served as director of the Hawkeye Challenge, a tournament both The Gazette and KCRG previously sponsored. He also provided color commentary for radio broadcaster Jim Zabel for six years.
Strom is a graduate of Fontanelle High School and received college degrees from Concordia (Neb.) College and Western Illinois.
"I was living my dream," said Strom. "Working at Iowa was the greatest years of my life. It is, and always has been, about the people. That's what makes Iowa and the community so special."
"Jerry Strom has been a very good friend of mine for over 20 years," McCaffery said. "I was thrilled to have the opportunity to have him on our staff. For the three years that we worked together, his contributions were beyond exceptional. He's part of the Iowa basketball family forever."

In music a phrase (Greek φράση, sentence, expression, see also strophe) is a section of music that is relatively self contained and coherent over a medium time scale. In common practice, phrases are often four and most often eight bars, or measures, long. A rough analogy between musical phrases and the linguistic phrase is often made, comparing the lowest phrase level to clauses and the highest to a complete sentence. Thus a phrase will end with a weaker or stronger cadence depending if it is an antecedent or consequent phrase, respectively. Metrically, Edward Cone analyses the "typical musical phrase" as consisting of an "initial downbeat, a period of motion, and a point of arrival marked by a cadential downbeat," while Cooper and Meyer use only two or three pulse groups (strong-weak or strong-weak-weak) (DeLone et al. (Eds.), 1975, chap. 3).
Phrases are commonly built from or contain figures, motifs, and cells. Phrases combine to form periods and larger sections of music.
Phrase rhythm is the rhythmic aspect of phrase construction and the relationships between phrases, and "is not at all a cut-and-dried affair, but the very lifeblood of music and capable of infinite variety. Discovering a work's phrase rhythm is a gateway to its understanding and to effective performance." The term was popularized by William Rothstein's Phrase Rhythm in Tonal Music. Techniques include overlap, lead-in, extension and expansion, and reinterpretation or elision. (Burkhart 2005).
The 1958 Encyclopédie Fasquelle defines a phrase as follows:
Charles Burkhart defines a phrase as follows:
Other definitions: a phrase is a musical unit.

I heard from a Denver Sprint Store manager who had seen the 4920 mockup that its a candy bar form factor slightly shorter than the 4900 (which I have) with a keyboard similar to the RL2500. It's also a ready-link phone and reportedly tri-mode. "Spcssales" posted a message on Feb. 22 listing the tentative release dates for upcoming phones. The 4920 is scheduled for June.

Afternoon Everyone,
Hoping someone will have a recommendation or suggestion as part of this.
Microsoft have identified a problem with Internet Explorer 32bit on Windows 7 64bit.
The Group Policy settings that control Internet Explorer settings on the 64bit version of Internet Explorer works correctly when deployed through Group Policy, however the 32bit version of Internet Explorer seems to be unaffected.
The registry settings only seem to be copied to the 64bit section of the hive in the Windows 7 registry.
Does anyone know if its possible to set up policy so that when the user logs on, Group Policy preferences sets the appropriate settings in the registry, thus locking down the 32bit version of Internet Explorer on Windows 7 64bit.
Microsoft link enclosed if anyone has any thoughts on the matter.
I could create a .reg file and import the settings statically on each Windows 7 system, however if it was all in Group Policy, its centrally controlled, which means if I made a change to the Group Policy that affects these settings, I could update Group Policy Preferences Registry settings at the same time.
I would be really grateful if anyone has any suggestions.

Militants in Gaza have fired 11 rockets into Israel, shattering a brief ceasefire between the two sides. The latest salvo of missiles comes after Israeli aircraft hit targets in Gaza after militants fired rockets at Israel last week, which was reportedly some of the heaviest rocket fire from Gaza for months. Six militants were killed by Israeli air strikes last week in retaliation to the rocket attacks. Four Israeli civilians have been wounded by the attacks last week and one soldier killed by a roadside bomb on the Gaza border.
Moscow has reportedly requested that Belarus compensate Russia's $1.5 billion revenue loss caused by Minsk exporting duty-free gasoline and other oil products under the guide of solvents. As a member-state of the Customs Union, Belarus does not pay customs duties on oil supplies from Russia, and is expected to pay the duty to Moscow. Russia's Transneft earlier proposed cutting back oil deliveries by pipeline to Belarus next year to 14-18 million tons, and increasing the load on the BPS-2 oil pipeline that bypasses Belarus, Interfax said. Transneft also wants to increase oil transports to Western consumers via the Druzhba pipeline through Belarus. Minsk expects that oil deliveries from Russia next year will amount to the requested 23 million tons.
Greek publisher Costas Vaxevanis went to court Monday for a misdemeanor charge of violating data protection laws, following the weekend publication in Hot-Doc magazine of a list of alleged depositors at an HSBC bank branch in Switzerland. The court has postponed the trial until Thursday, the AP said. The publication of the names of more than 2,000 Greek residents with Swiss bank accounts has caused widespread political controversy in Greece. The names were passed to the Greek government by French authorities. The Greek parliament recently questioned former officials for allegedly failing to investigate those identified by the list for potential cases of tax fraud.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said that Spain and Italy are committed to keeping Greece in the eurozone. Rajoy was meeting with his Italian counterpart Mario Monti in Madrid on Monday. "Our commitment towards the euro is unshakeable," AFP quoted Rajoy as saying. "We will take any measures necessary to guarantee its stability and irreversibility."
One in five workers in Britain is paid less than the living wage, accounting firm KPMG said. Their research found that 4.82 million workers survive on less than a living wage, currently about $13.30 an hour in London and $11.60 in Britain. A 'living wage' is a rate of pay adopted voluntarily by some employers. Few companies have agreed to take up the living wage so far, but an estimated 10,000 people have benefited from the campaign.
Muslim separatists from the northwest Chinese region of Xinjiang are battling Syrian government forces alongside other rebel groups, Chinese state newspaper Global Times reported Monday. Since May, radicals among China's ethnic Turkic Uighur minority have traveled to Syria to join the fighting, the report said. The trips were allegedly organized by groups opposed to Beijing's rule over Xinjiang. The report singled out two groups, the East Turkistan Islamic Movement and the Turkey-based East Turkistan Education and Solidarity Association. East Turkistan was the name given to two short-lived independent Uighur republics in Xinjiang.
On Monday, Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite opposed the inclusion of the Labor Party into a new coalition government. The party finished third in Sunday's election, and is expected to join in a new anti-austerity coalition founded by the Social Democrats. Labor, led by Viktor Uspaskikh, should be excluded from the next government because of allegations of voting and financial fraud, the president said. Uspaskikh said he would not prevent the party from working with the government despite the personal accusations leveled against him. The Social Democrats won 38 of 141 seats in parliament. The Labor Party and Order and Justice Party finished with 30 and 11 seats, respectively. The ruling party, the conservative Homeland Union-Christian Democrats led by Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius, was second with 32 seats.
Turkish police fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse tens of thousands of pro-secular protesters on Monday. The Ankara governor's office did not authorize the Republic Day march for security reasons, but protesters gathered in the old district of Ankara near the building housing Turkey's first parliament, in defiance of the government ban, the AP said. Protesters also marched to the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who founded the secular Turkish republic 89 years ago.
The share of electricity in Germany produced by renewable energy sources is expected to reach almost 50 percent by 2025, beating the government's forecast, the Federal Network Agency head said on Monday. Current expansions in wind, solar and other renewable power sources will easily top official targets of 35 percent by 2022, the AP quoted Stephan Kohler, head of the government-affiliated agency overseeing Germany's electricity grid as saying. However, he urged for more investment to upgrade the electricity grid to cope with the influx of unstable renewable energies. Following Japan's 2011 nuclear disaster, Germany decided to speed up the phasing out of nuclear power, and has since raised electricity production from 17 percent to 25 percent.
On Monday, Al-Qaeda's front group in Iraq claimed responsibility for a series of shootings and bombings that killed 44 people during the Eid al-Adha festival. The Islamic State of Iraq said that the attacks over the four-day Muslim holiday were supposedly in response to the arrest of Sunni Arab women by Iraqi security forces, AFP reported. The women were allegedly arrested so that security forces could locate their male relatives.
A train derailed in Kentucky's southwestern Jefferson County, resulting in a chemical spill and the declaration of a hazardous material emergency, local media reported on Monday. Reports emerged of a strong chemical odor in the air following the derailment, which took place near the Ohio Valley Dragway on Catherine Station Road just after 6:00am. Firefighters called the derailment a Level 3 HazMat, the highest alert level for a hazardous material incident. No evacuation orders were reported following the incident.
Violence broke out in Sierra Leone over the weekend, leaving at least 10 people wounded a few weeks before the country holds presidential and legislative elections. Clashes erupted Saturday in Kono, the home district of Sierra Leone's incumbent vice president, the AP reported. The opposition party said that youth backing the governing APC party threw stones, seriously injuring several people. The ruling party blamed opposition supporters for the attacks.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda pledged on Monday to strengthen security around the country's coasts after Chinese surveillance ships were spotted again near disputed islands in the Sea of China. "I will make efforts in strengthening security in surrounding sea areas," AFP quoted Noda as saying in parliament. "The security environment surrounding Japan is becoming more serious than ever," he said. Four Chinese ships were witnessed near the Tokyo-controlled Senkaku islands on Sunday. Japan said on Friday that it would spend $213 million to strengthen its coast guard.
One police officer and eight Kurdish rebels were killed in clashes in southeastern Turkey, state news agency Anatolia reported on Monday. The outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) launched five simultaneous attacks against security forces late Sunday, killing one police officer, the Sirnak governor's office said. Turkish troops backed by jets attacked Kurdish rebels in the Beytussebap district of Sirnak province on Sunday, killing eight rebels.
Cyprus police have reportedly thwarted an attempt to kill Attorney-General Petros Clerides. Three Cypriot suspects are in police custody on charges of conspiracy to commit murder, the AP quoted an anonymous police official as saying on Monday. The arrests were made after one of the suspects received an arms cache that included an anti-tank missile launcher.
Turkish artillery has again responded to a stray shell fired across the border from Syria that landed in Turkey's territory, Anadolu state news agency said, without elaborating further. The shell landed around 300 meters from the Turkish border village of Besaslan on Monday. No injuries were reported, but a power line was destroyed in the incident. Turkey has retaliated against stray shells and mortar fire after a shell fired from Syria killed five civilians in a Turkish border town on October 3.
Tehran has intelligence on Israeli secret sites obtained by Hezbollah's Iranian-developed drone 'Ayub,' an Iranian lawmaker said. "We are now in possession of the images of [Israeli] forbidden zones," Deputy Head of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Esmail Kowsari told Iran's Arabic-language Al-Alam news channel on Sunday. Hezbollah said the drone recently flew deep into Israeli airspace without being detected by radar. Kowsari claimed Hezbollah is now in possession of aircraft more advanced than Ayub, Press TV reported. The MP claimed Iran also has the technology to build armed unmanned aircraft.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Algeria on Monday to discuss the crisis in neighboring Mali with President Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Mauritania and Algeria have called for talks on Mali, where Islamist militants have seized a large northern region. The issue of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb is also on the agenda, the US State Department said. Algeria is Clinton's first stop on a five-day trip that also includes visits to Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo and Albania.
Maya Fernandez Allende, the granddaughter of Chile's deposed socialist President Salvador Allende, won her first major political race in municipal elections held in the country on Sunday. Fernandez, 41, a socialist politician and veterinarian, defeated incumbent Mayor Pedro Sabat of the center-right National Renovation party in Nunoa, a district of the capital, the AP said. Fernandez served on a local council in the district after growing up in Cuba. Leftist parties regained ground in nationwide elections, with their biggest victory in central Santiago, where Carolina Toha defeated Pablo Zalaquett of the ultra-conservative Independent Democratic Union.
Israeli aircraft have struck a Palestinian rocket launching pad and a supposed militant site in the Gaza Strip. The attack was a response to persistent rocket and mortar fire from the coastal territory, the AP quoted the IDF as saying. Gaza militants reportedly launched 11 rockets and mortars into southern Israel early on Monday. No casualties were reported on either side. The renewed violence undercuts an informal ceasefire between the two camps that went into effect last week.
At least 13 people have been killed and 38 others injured in three bombings in and around the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Sunday. On Sunday evening, a car bomb in a predominantly-Shiite neighborhood killed at least 10 people and wounded 28 as they were outside celebrating Eid, officials said. Earlier in the day, two bombings in the town of Madain, just southeast of the capital, killed three people and wounded up to 10, police said. The latest violence targeted Shiite Muslims, despite announcements by authorities that they would boost security during the four-day Eid break which began Friday. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks Sunday or those a day earlier that left at least 40 dead people dead.

New excavators bring top-of-the-line features to operators
Longer service intervals and increased operator comfort define new excavators
Bobcat E60 excavator
In addition to the new E32 and E35, Bobcat is expanding its M-Series excavator family with the E60 and E80, with increased operator comfort and longer service hours for optimum productivity. These larger machines top off the Bobcat excavator lineup with exceptional dig depth, reach and dump height to minimize machine repositioning on the jobsite.
Operator Comfort
After entering the cab of the E60 and E80, operators will never think of comfort the same way again. The seat adjustments create an ergonomic work environment specifically suited to the individual. These spacious cabs have a top-of-the-line operator seat that adjusts nine ways.
Adjust the operator seat nine different ways in Bobcat E60 and E80 excavators for optimum comfort.
The heating and air conditioning system has automotive-style controls. Just like in a car or truck, a push of a button changes the air movement to one of five different modes. These features have been designed to keep operators � who spend many hours in their machines � comfortable and productive.
The high-capacity climate-control system has vents in front of and to the rear of the operator, for air movement exactly where it is needed.
A fixed instrument panel on the right side of the cab provides an easy-to-read display for all of the information the operator needs on machine performance.
Longer Service Intervals
Daily greasing of the bushings at the boom, arm and bucket pivot is a thing of the past with the E80 excavator. Normally, this process can take up to 30 minutes of an operator's time each day. Now, that time can be spent working because the service interval for greasing the bushings has been increased from 10 to 250 hours.
Bobcat E80 excavator
Clamp Ready
Each E60 and E80 is delivered clamp-ready for operators who want to quickly and easily add a clamp. Clamps are excellent attachments for grabbing odd-shaped objects � such as demolition debris or organic waste � and lifting and placing them into containers.
Efficient Power
The E60 and E80 have Tier-compliant engines that provide optimum power for even the toughest applications. The engine control system has an auto-idle feature, reducing fuel consumption when the excavator is not working. Engine rpm is controlled electronically to use only as much engine power as is necessary for the application. The quiet operation of the engine is also a benefit, as many cities and work areas are becoming more sensitive to construction noise.
Visit the M-Series page for more information on the features of the E60 and E80 excavators.

Police say 18-year-old Brittany Sanders was booked with negligent homicide.
Investigators say Sanders was driving erratically and attempted to elude the Orleans Levee District Police Wednesday around 3 p.m.

I was wondering if other members applied for a permit before constructing the oven. I recently replaced windows in my home and a contractor I know told me not to bother with the permit. What about the oven construction? This is, obviously, very noticeable project, possibly I should bother with the permit in this case?
What are the fees in other states? In Ohio, i believe it is $75 and quite a bit of paperwork.
Re: permit
I would "check" to be on the safe side but I didn't need one in clermont County (Cincinnati Ohio). Basically they told me these don't exist in their records. If you plan to build a pool, shed or fence they have permit specs... I would at least build it 5 foot off the property line. I called the building inspector and same thing. He didn't know what it was and he said is it like a BBQ I said pretty close and he said no permit.
Good luck.
Re: permit
Go to your local building inspector's office, explain what you want to do and they will advise if you will need a permit or not. You are likely to find that the building permit staff are very helpful. Make a note that you did this visit.
If you need a permit, get one. An illegal structure can void your home insurance.
If any contractor tells you "We don't need no stinking permit !", get a better contractor.
Re: permit
Every municipality is different, you are going to have to check with the locals, even if they give you the green light (no permit) they may refer you to the local fire marshal to be sure it conforms with national fire codes.
Free standing ovens (not attached to or near other structures) seem to fall under "outdoor BBQs" in a lot of areas and don't require permitting........but don't start before you find out for sure. They tend to be a real pain is the ass in the future if they have to issue a stop work order for you not checking before hand.
I made 2 phone calls, documented the date/time and the name of who advised me....not a peep from anyone 2 1/2 yrs later.
Re: permit
"I made 2 phone calls, documented the date/time and the name of who advised me....not a peep from anyone 2 1/2 yrs later."
This is a smart move. As noted above, you will not likely need a permit, but document that you asked.
Re: permit
some excellent tips, thanks so much!
Re: permit
keep a record, I was first told I only needed a health permit from the county, once I got that, I started only to have the building offical ask me for a ton of detailed questions and ask for drawings, my permit is now ready and I have to break the news that the footings are poured and the block is almost done. Hopefully he does not give me a hard time about not inspecting the footings before the pour. As a side note, in the plans I submitted he was worried my steel studs would not hold the snow load. I provided info to show they would but I was like - why do you care, its not like someone can go inside the gabled house and have it fall on them, I suspect with the slowdown in new construction these guys need stuff to do
Re: permit
I think you nailed it! You are job security. And a chance to wield power. Too bad you have a live one!
Re: permit
Yeah, it makes sense that in my town I can build a 10X10 shed which people can go inside without a permit but I have to provide a whole bunch on info on the sizing of 4 foot roof rafters which cover a 3.5X5 masonary oven:rolleyes:
Re: permit
When I built my oven I went to the county office and brought a lot of information with me so I would not have to go back. They asked a bunch of questions and they gave me the permit, it cost $65 (he said that was the least expensive permit he had written up).
I made a mistake and did not have the foundation inspected but I took a lot of pics. I spoke to the head inspector and he said to show the inspector the pics and "we will see what we can do". The inspector showed up and seemed to be more interested in how I was going to cook with it rather than how I was going to build it:)
The main concern was what type of chimney I was going to build, masonry or sheet metal, if it were masonry he was concerned with support etc. but mine was sheet metal. So the main things they were looking for was the foundation and chimney. I also had to extend the flu 2 feet because it had to be a certain amount higher than the closest structure.
I hope that helps a bit, every county is different.

If you have an especially old order, though, you might want to visit the store with your original punchcard, or a daguerreotype of it.

The Bachelorette
Sorry, We Don't Like You — Bachelor Nation Stars Who Turned Off Other Contestants
Courtney Robertson, The Bachelor Season 16
Conversations stop when Courtney enters the room. But she's the only one willing to say her piece to people's faces instead of waiting for them to leave. But her candor and lack of social graces (and nudity) have turned her into The Girl Everyone Hates. Kacie Boguskie even borrowed Jackie Gordon's spider analogy, comparing Courtney to a black widow that she wants to crush. People on and off the show seem to think Courtney just wants to win ("winning!") and is playing Ben Flajnik for a fool, but what if they have a genuine connection? There are still several episodes left to this season and it's possible we're seeing a real love story play out. Or not.
Need your daily dose of The Bachelorette? Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. After all, you'd get our final rose.
Erica Rose, The Bachelor Season 9
There have been a lot of drama girls in Bachelor history. Before she went on Bachelor Pad 1, Krisily Kennedy was "the bitch" of Season 7 who called girls out for being fake. Moana Dixon was the drama girl of Season 8 and she ruffled feathers when she and Travis Stork jumped off a yacht and escaped from the other girls. But there have been few characters on The Bachelor like Erica Rose of the Rome-set Season 9. The tiara princess came off as a spoiled brat in love with herself and in hate with the other girls. She loved to diss Lorenzo Borghese's bachelorettes to the cameras. She got into a fight with some of them during the Women Tell All special. As Jami Matzke put it, "You're such a bitch, Erica, damn!" Now we adore Princess Erica, but it took Bachelor Pad 2 to get us there.
Justin Rego, The Bachelorette Season 6
From his debut as "The Wrestler," Justin "Rated-R" Rego rubbed the fellas in the house the wrong way. They thought he was a two-faced phony and weren't above standing in a circle talking about him behind his back. Craig Robinson and Ty Brown were especially vocal against Justin but even mild-mannered Roberto Martinez was shocked when Ali let it slip that Justin had hobbled on his crutches up to her house, on the sly. Justin was so upset at being ostracized, he was shown sniffling off by himself. After he was kicked off for supposedly having a girlfriend back home, Justin tried to defend himself. But when he returned for Bachelor Pad 2, he decided to embrace his "villain" reputation.
Ryan Park, The Bachelorette Season 7
It still doesn't really make sense why the guys of Ashley Hebert's season all ganged up on Ryan. Yeah, he was cheesy and had a real Jake 2.0 quality about him, but why go so far as to confront him about his exuberance when he wasn't hurting anyone? Blake Julian told Ames Brown that Ryan was the smarmiest dude he ever met. Then Blake told Ryan none of the guys in the house liked him, for no better reason than his "intensity" and how he got loud when he was happy. This shocked Ryan, who couldn't believe they would question his sincerity just because he's exuberant. But considering none of them seemed to suspect anything about Bentley, their judgment isn't exactly stellar. And Blake ended up a major target himself on Bachelor Pad 2, so maybe that was Sunshine karma headed his way.
There are Bachelor/ette "villains" and there are contestants the other housemates don't like — and sometimes they're not the same people. For example, the guys on The Bachelorette Season 7 were all fine with "Bad News" Bentley Williams since he was always nice to them and they had no idea he was insulting Ashley Hebert to the cameras; they saved their open irritation for Ryan "Mr. Sunshine" Park because he was… too happy. On The Bachelor Season 16, Courtney Robertson seems to be fulfilling both roles — villain to folks at home and in-house pariah. Let's look back at some other contestants who just rubbed their peers the wrong way.
Michelle Money, The Bachelor Season 15
Michelle Money, like Courtney, was a very sexy and sensual woman (not a little girl!) who used her feminine wiles to seduce Brad Womack. Michelle wasn't a huge favorite in the house — especially with Chantal O'Brien and Jackie Gordon — but she ended up doing the most damage in her In the Moment interviews, where she shared her most choice (and hilarious) disses about her fellow bachelorettes. Those chickens came home to roost on the Women Tell All, when the ladies called her out for her actions, especially Jackie, who said "I equate you to a spider: You're creepy, and I don't think you're humorous." They made up and became good friends on Bachelor Pad 2.
Jake Pavelka, Bachelor Pad 2
He may not have left The Bachelorette 5 or Bachelor 14 with a ton of friends, but no one has ever gotten the cold shoulder like Jake did on Bachelor Pad 2. His ex Vienna and her new man Kasey Kahl planted major seeds of dissent in the house before Jake arrived — and it basically scared everyone into treating him like a leper. People were openly rooting for him to leave. Every other diss to the cameras was about Jake. Once again, Gia Allemand was the only one willing to stand up for the underdog, but Jake eventually ticked her off too. Jake managed to get out of the show alive and even won over a couple of folks, like Jackie Gordon and a smitten Erica Rose. Even if he's never besties with anyone from BP2, their venom made them look bad and, by default, made him look good.
Vienna Girardi, The Bachelor Season 14
Courtney may seem like the next Vienna Girardi, but Vienna herself was Erica Rose 2.0. In the intro package, we saw Vienna lounging around talking about herself as a spoiled daddy's girl. That set the tone for the rest of the season, where it became Everyone vs. Vienna. Gia Allemand was her only friend in the house and at one point Vienna even lashed out at Gia, declaring all the girls in the house to be "fake." Her biggest nemesis was, of course, Ali Fedotowsky, who couldn't stop talking to everyone — including Bachelor Jake — about her anti-Vienna sentiments.
Trish Schneider, The Bachelor Season 5
We fell in love with Trish when we first saw her T-shirt reading "Gold Digger— Like a hooker … just smarter." Jesse Palmer kept Trish around to just before the overnight dates, even though his best friend Jenny was acting as a spy in the house and told him to dump Trish. The ladies of Season 5 played a game of "I never" and Trish shocked everyone by saying she had slept with more men than she could count on both hands and both feet — including a married man. It took another competitor telling Jesse that Trish was there for "the wrong reasons" for him to send her home. But she didn't stay home. The Bachelor loves villains, so Trish came back to the show to tell Jesse he made a mistake and to invite him to come stay in her hotel room instead of going on an overnight date with another contestant.
Jeremy Anderson, The Bachelorette Season 4
In his exit interview, Jeremy said the guys were just joking around when they called him things like "Captain D-Bag" and "American Psycho." But some of DeAnna Pappas' bachelors felt he was only on The Bachelorette to win a competition. He argued that he had real feelings for DeAnna. Folks at home were split on Jeremy, with a lot of the blogs — which Jeremy stopped reading because they were so harsh — definitely questioning his sincerity.
Juan Barbieri, The Bachelorette Season 5
To viewers at home, it was hard to understand the issue with Juan Barbieri, who seemed fine to us but Enemy #1 of Jillian Harris' bachelors. He was in strict violation of David Good's "man code" and they seemed to think he was phony — acting one way with them, then pretending he was part of the crew when Jillian was around. Dave was the captain of the Anti-Juan crusade, seeming to lead all group discussions against the guy. However, after the show Dave and Juan seemed to make up. Now a lot of guys from that season save their harshest "phony" comments for Jake Pavelka, who went from this show to The Bachelor.

Leading Brands Sign Up To Go Think Big
Channel 4, Spotify and Chime Communications are to offer young people an exciting range of skills development and work experience opportunities through GoThinkBig, the social action partnership launched by O2 and Bauer Media in October 2012.
The three companies have signed up to GoThinkBig, following its early success in delivering practical support and inspiration to young people seeking to break into the world. In its first two months, GoThinkBig has offered young people over 2,500 skills development and work experience opportunities. O2 and Bauer Media are committed to providing 9,000 such opportunities over the first twelve months of GoThinkBig.
The addition of Channel 4, Spotify and Chime Communications will increase the range of industry sectors participating in GoThinkBig and open up to young people a wider range of work experience opportunities in broadcasting, digital music and marketing communications. Young people will be able to access these opportunities through the GoThinkBig.co.uk website and to learn more about how to succeed in these industries through features on the website and in the wide range of Bauer Media youth brands, which reach over 80% of 16-24 year olds in the UK.
Channel 4, Spotify and Chime Communications will make all the work and skills development experiences that they provide for young people available through GoThinkBig. These may include mentoring, internships, apprenticeships, 'shadowing' senior executives, work placements, graduate entry schemes and full time employment posts. Full details will be published on the GoThinkBig website later in the New Year.
Bill Eyres, Head of Corporate Responsibility, Environment and Sustainability at O2, said:
"When O2 and Bauer Media launched GoThinkBig in October, we invited other businesses to join us in GoThinkBig's mission to support young people. We are delighted, therefore, to welcome on board such a strong trio of market leading companies. Channel 4, Spotify and Chime Communications share our commitment to help young people in to the world of work. They recognise that GoThinkBig is good for young people and good for helping them identify bright young talent who can strengthen their businesses. Their addition to GoThinkBig shows that it is an initiative that can command support and participation from a broad range of industry sectors."
Colin Campbell-Austin, Talent and People Development Manager at Channel 4, said:
"Channel 4 is a business with a strong tradition of encouraging and working with young and diverse new talent. GoThinkBig is a welcome and unique platform that offers great opportunities to young people and will enable Channel 4 to continue providing amazing platforms to careers in television and the media industry."
Chris Maples, Spotify's VP of Europe, said:
"Spotify's success to date has been built on the energy, innovation and creativity of young people, so we know just how important it is to harness and develop young peoples' skills to help grow our business going forward. GoThinkBig is a great way to support young people, give them unique opportunities, and to bring fresh talent in to the business."
Christopher Satterthwaite, Chief Executive of Chime Communications, said:
"Marketing communications needs a constant supply of bright young talent to stay ahead and to challenge the status quo with fresh thinking. GoThinkBig has quickly established itself as a credible and valuable resource for ambitious young people with a strong desire to succeed and build successful careers. We are delighted to support GoThinkBig, which we believe is good news for young people, for Chime and for our clients."
Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the launch of GoThinkBig in October and said:
"GoThinkBig is an innovative social action project that will offer incredibly valuable opportunities to Britain's aspiring young people who want to get on and get into work. This is a fantastic commitment by O2 and Bauer Media and I congratulate them on their effort to get young people the skills they need – and help Britain win in the global race."

The Netgear ProSafe wireless LAN system is a great fit for a small business, providing reliable performance at a low cost. A small IT team with average skills could easily install and maintain this device, though initial setup may present a significant hurdle.
Netgear provided us with two ProSafe WNDAP350 wireless access points (WAPs) and the ProSafe WMS5316 wireless management device for testing. The WAPs support simultaneous 802.11a and 80211b/g/n networking, and the management system can handle a maximum of 16 WAPs. The deployment was challenging, but performance was superior and maintenance was simple. At $300 for each WNDAP350 access point and $600 for the WMS5316 controller, the cost is also attractive. We were less impressed with Netgear's customer support.
Netgear ProSafe deployment woes
Deploying the ProSafe system was not a trivial task. Although the two WNDAP350 WAPs arrived in the same box, they contained different versions of firmware. This seemed to be an issue when the Netgear controller could not detect the WAPs on our network. One of the general first steps involved with troubleshooting a network problem is to upgrade and standardize the firmware across devices. We tried this, but it did not solve the problem.
The obligatory phone call to customer support revealed where Netgear stands in its effort to provide business network solutions. Business customers demand a level of support that is far beyond that typically provided for the low-budget consumer devices Netgear has had success with in the past. The support experience would have been positive if I had been able to speak with a technician in less than 5 minutes rather than the 90 minutes it took being transferred from one support representative to another who could do no more than read from a scripted book.
When we finally reached a competent technician who could provide the necessary customer support, the issue turned out to be nonregistered Organizational Unit Identifier (OUI), the first three bytes of the six-byte MAC address used to identify the organization issuing the address. Especially perplexing is the fact that Netgear did not have the forethought to register its own MAC OUI into the management console. This step was not in the installation manual.
Netgear ProSafe performance and security
The configuration GUI is simple and intuitive to use, if not as elegant as, say, the interface of the Meraki Cloud Controller. I was able to quickly configure an 802.11g network and log on with both a PC and a Mac. A performance test from speedtest.net showed download speeds of nearly 10Mbps, more than double the performance of our current office WAP.
One of the best features of the WNDAP350 is the ability to operate in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, allowing you to run a 802.11a network alongside a 802.11b/g/n network with no fear of interference. The WNDAP350 comes standard with built-in antennas. However, if you desire enhanced performance in the 2.4GHz band, the WNDAP350 has takeoffs to attach an optional accessory antenna. Coverage was outstanding, with no noticeable dead spots in the office building using a single WAP. I was able to connect from about 200 feet away, though I did not test for maximum range.
The WNDAP350 comes with a variety of security features, including WPA/WPA2, WEP, MAC address filtering, and SSID broadcast blocking. The VPN pass-through functioned perfectly when using an Aruba mobility controller for VPN access to enterprise resources. Each WAP comes with a lifetime hardware warranty. However, given our experience with Netgear customer support, you should not hold your breath for expeditious service.
For growing companies or businesses that have several remote offices, the WMS5316 wireless management system simplifies and streamlines the setup and configuration process. With a single entry, a technician can input wireless parameters and push them out to all access points. The look and feel of the GUI is similar to that of the WNDAP350, which reduced the learning curve for device management. Using the WMS5316, we were able to configure security settings for two WAPs and deploy them in less than a minute.
The Netgear ProSafe WNDAP350 access point and ProSafe WMS5316 controller are a great combination for the small-business customer who is searching for a wireless access solution at a low entry price. Attractive features include dual-band operation, strong security measures, and a quick and intuitive GUI. With the wireless network controller, you can quickly configure and deploy configurations for up to 16 WAPs in a matter of minutes.

I'm not kidding.
You nailed it there doc! Again, you get what you pay for. It's sad these people travel across the boarder for work. Let along shoddy work, how about the risk of hepatitis or HIV? They have no recourse should they come down with a disease! We have to test our sterilizers every week. What is Mexico's rules?
The periodontal disease is a huge concern this gentleman should have! His extra weight he is carrying, plus the perio disease is a candidate for heart attack. Please as the doc advised, have it checked out. We don't want anything to happen to a fellow adv rider!

Some weird file remained in my trash after deleting my Aperture library back up file from an external hard drive.
I can't get rid of it.
I've tried:
1.) Restarting finder, multiple times.
2.) Rebooting, multiple times.
3.) A basic Sharing & Permissions adjustment (which you can see does not work in the video)
4.) Changing permissions using CHMOD 777 in Terminal.
Uhh... any other ideas?

J. Michael Springmann has just published, Visas for Al Qaeda: CIA Handouts That Rocked The World. As a former member of the US Foreign Service, Mr. Springmann exposes the truth about American involvement in the training and international movement of Muslim terrorists and the subsequent increase in jihadist terrorism. Some of these terrorists have links to 9/11.
Thousands of American soldiers and civil servants have lost their lives in the War on Terror. Innocent citizens of many nations, including Americans killed on 9/11, have also paid the ultimate price. While the US government claims to stand against terror, this same government refuses to acknowledge its role in creating what has become a deadly international quagmire. Visas for al-Qaeda: CIA Handouts That Rocked the World sets the record straight by laying the blame on high-ranking US government officials.
During the 1980s, the CIA recruited and trained Muslim operatives to fight the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Later, the CIA would move those operatives from Afghanistan to the Balkans, and then to Iraq, Libya, and Syria, traveling on illegal US visas. These US-backed and trained fighters would morph into an organization that is synonymous with jihadist terrorism: al-Qaeda.
J. Michael Springmann, a former US diplomat, names individuals and organizations that deny culpability. He analyzes the effects of a nebulous war on the US economy and infrastructure. After thirteen bloody years, Springmann exposes hypocrisy and deceit wrapped in a sullied flag of patriotism and honor.
As investigative journalist Wayne Madsen notes,… Continue reading
Originally published at Global Research by Prof. Edward Curtin on 12/1/14
The anthrax attacks that followed those of 9/11 have disappeared from public memory in ways analogous to the pulverization of the Twin Towers and World Trade Center Building 7. For the towers, at least, ghostly afterimages persist, albeit fading like last night's nightmare. But the anthrax attacks, clearly linked to 9/11 and the Patriot Act, are like lost letters, sent, but long forgotten. Such disappearing acts are a staple of American life these days. Memory has come upon hard times.
With The 2001 Anthrax Deception, Professor Graeme MacQueen, founding Director of the Center for Peace Studies at McMaster University, calls us back to a careful reconsideration of the anthrax attacks. It is an eloquent and pellucid lesson in inductive reasoning and deserves to stand with David Ray Griffin's brilliant multi-volume dissection of the truth of that tragic September 11th. MacQueen makes a powerful case for the linkage of both events, a tie that binds both to insider elements deep within the U.S. government, perhaps in coordination with foreign elements.
MacQueen's thesis is as follows: The criminal anthrax attacks were conducted by a group of conspirators deep within the U.S. government who are linked to, or identical with, the 9/11 perpetrators. Their purpose was to redefine the Cold War into the Global War on Terror and in doing so… Continue reading

The U.S. government has turned to 9/11 again in order to justify its program of spying on all Americans and to support a new, expanded war in Syria. Yet as Americans are distracted by these ongoing crimes, the deception behind the origin of the War on Terror is being more fully revealed.
Were the crimes of September 11, 2001 solely the work of Osama bin Laden and nineteen troubled young Arabs, or were more powerful people involved? After a decade of investigation Kevin Ryan, the co-editor of the Journal of 9/11 Studies, offers an evidence-based analysis of nineteen other suspects.
With the support of victims' families and leading 9/11 researchers, Another Nineteen looks at who was in position to accomplish major elements of the crimes that have yet be explained. Detailed evidence is presented that reveals how each of the alternative suspects had the means, motive and opportunity to accomplish one or more aspects of the 9/11 attacks.
"Finally a comprehensive and meticulously researched book that thoroughly details what occurred before and on 9/11. Without a doubt, Another Nineteen should be required reading for those who want the real story." – Robert McIlvaine, father of Bobby McIlvaine, who was killed at the World Trade Center on 9/11
"Kevin Ryan has written a book that reminds us that the attacks of September 11, 2001 and their details have never really been investigated. Kevin has laid out the historical framework in a way that has never been… Continue reading
Huff, Mickey S., and Andy Lee Roth, eds. Censored 2013: Dispatches From the Media Revolution. New York: Seven Stories Press, October 2012. 468 pp. $19.95
Review by Paul W. Rea, PhD
Project Censored has delivered another timely and essential book. The passion and commitment of editors Prof. Mickey Huff and Dr. Andy Lee Roth definitely show—and not just in their own writing. They're managed to tease out fine performances from many other writers, including Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, Elliot D. Cohen of Truthout, Sara van Gelder of YES! Magazine, Peter Phillips, Adam Bessie and many others.
The issues definitely matter. The significance of the reader-selected Top 25 Censored Stories of 2011-12 is beyond dispute. Number 1 is "Signs of an Emerging Police State"; Number 2 is "Oceans in Peril"; and Number 3 is "Fukushima Disaster Worse Than Anticipated." Other sections reveal how a "Federal Reserve Audit Reveals Trillions Loaned to Major Banks" and a "Small Network of Corporations Run the Global Economy." For each general issue, News Clusters add context, breadth and depth.
Rumblings from the Occupy Movements of 2011 reverberate throughout many of the clusters. Readers learn not only about the "Bankster Bailout," but about how to create an economy for the 99 percent. Lesser-known issues include how Congress has forced the US Post Office to bear unfair financial commitments, apparently in an effort to justify its privatization.

International Hearings on the Events of September 11, 2001 It is with great excitement that I announce the release of the Final Report of the Toronto Hearings, which is titled The 9/11 Toronto Report. It is now available for purchase on Amazon.com, for a reduced introductory price of $12.76. I encourage you to review the content of the book using Amazon's "Look Inside" feature, and if you like the book, leave a positive five-star review. The book has already received a one-star review from someone who has not read the book, and we need to counteract these kinds of reviews.
The 9/11 Toronto Report is a collection of essays submitted by the witnesses who presented at the International Hearings on the Events of September 11, 2001, which were held in Toronto, Canada over the 10th Anniversary of the attacks. I collected the essays, edited them, and arranged them into the chapters you find in the book. I believe it is the most succinct, comprehensive, and persuasive written treatment of the best evidence against the official story for 9/11 that has been produced to date. Those experts who contributed chapters include David Ray Griffin, Kevin Ryan, Peter Dale Scott, Graeme MacQueen, David Chandler, Richard Gage and many others.
The 9/11 Toronto Report also contains a written report and recommendation from each of the four distinguished panelists who heard the evidence presented over the four days of hearings and questioned the witnesses. These include two eminent Canadian… Continue reading

A bitter dose of heartfelt rationality in a field muddied by conspiracy industry dimwits.
By Dr. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed
September 24, 2012
Jon Gold's '9/11 Truther' is a must-read for a number of reasons. On the one hand, I hate the title. Although I've done my part in challenging the official narrative around 9/11 and international terrorism for the last decade, I've never been a great fan of the language of the 'truth movement', which, to me, smacks of an almost religious, cult-like sensibility. And I've been increasingly perturbed by the proliferation of ridiculous theories masquerading as activism, much of which has simply served to distract from the hard task of challenging power. In particular, I've been revolted by the conspiracy theory industry itself that… Continue reading

In Mounting Evidence, Paul W. Rea, PhD, delivers an amply-researched critique of the 9/11 Commission and debunks the War on Terror. There's little doubt the tragic attacks on 9/11 soon became the defining events of our time, shaping much of what has followed. But even now, over a decade later, how well does the public actually understand them? Other researchers have written about key facets of 9/11 — the fall of World Trade Center buildings, the air-defense failures, the backgrounds of the hijackers, or the role of the Saudi funders. In Mounting Evidence, Dr. Rea shows how, by understanding the shattering events of that dark day, Americans can end seemingly endless wars and take back personal liberties they've lost.
Dr. Rea feels so committed to bringing historical truth to the events of 9/11 that he has made his book, Mounting Evidence, available on Amazon.com.
Dr. Paul W. Rea has taught humanities at Ohio State University, the University of Northern Colorado and St. Mary's College of California. Now a full-time researcher and writer, Dr. Rea focuses on political, peace and environmental issues.

Mounting Evidence: Why We Need a New Investigation into 9-11 , By Paul W. Rea, PhD
As Dr. Paul Rea states in Mounting Evidence , the 9-11 story is the 21st Century's "ultimate mass murder mystery."
Mounting Evidence makes good on the promise implied in this tantalizing quote with a 555 page book that is not only well researched and comprehensive, but is presented in a lively and engaging writing style, ensuring a good read. These characterizations only begin to describe the book's relevance, however, for Mounting Evidence focuses directly on the larger importance of 9-11. What does this event mean, in terms of its origins, in terms of the cover-up of the true facts by a rigged "investigation" by a rigged 9-11 Commission and in terms of the negative effects on U.S. foreign and military policy, even now? With his multiple foci on "meaningful contexts," the "Global Domination Project" of the United States, the "Official Story," and the currently available evidence about 9-11, Rea uses his excellent command of all sources to explicate a very complex and multi-faceted subject clearly and compellingly.
Dr. Rea's ultimate goal is "restorative truth" to help revitalize our failing democracy, which must have an educated and active population if it is to be maintained even at its current low level. Mounting Evidence points out that such truth can only be arrived at through a new investigation by a truly independent group with the power to get to the bottom of… Continue reading

This wonderful new book by Jon Gold, with foreword by Cindy Sheehan, is now available in digital format from either Amazon or Smashwords, so you can choose the format that works best for you.
"9/11 Truther" is the story about an everyday American who saw that something was wrong with what we were told about 9/11, and tried to do something about it.
"This book is part autobiography and part chronicle of the 9/11 Truth Movement over the last ten years, from Jon's perspective as a participant. His telling of this story is supported with examples of his writing, as well as communications he's received from people over the years, both positive and negative. … The book is informative and enlightening, and nakedly, emotionally honest. A unique and valuable contribution." Erik Larson
"Essential reading for those who have ever dismissed anyone as crazy for questioning what we were told about 911. Jon Gold is no conspiracy theorist, just an ordinary decent American who has questions." Neil Deaken
"Jon Gold's story is interesting in at least two respects: first, next to Paul Thompson, he has compiled more information about 9/11 over the past 10+ years than anyone I know, and has synthesized the results in a fair-minded way to illustrate the many demonstrable ambiguities and lies of the official 9/11 narrative; and second, he has articulated what it is to be involved in a social movement that exists on the fringe and that contains its share… Continue reading

'Most journalists in the United States believe the press here is free. That grand illusion only helps obscure the fact that, by and large, the US corporate press does not report what's really going on, while tuning out, or laughing off, all those who try to do just that. Americans — now more than ever — need those outlets that do labor to report some truth. Project Censored is not just among the bravest, smartest, and most rigorous of those outlets, but the only one that's wholly focused on those stories that the corporate press ignores, downplays and/or distorts. This latest book is therefore a must-read for anyone who cares about this country, its tottering economy, and–most important–what's now left of its democracy." —Mark Crispin Miller, professor of media ecology, NYU

" In one volume, Mounting Evidence provides the most important evidence accumulated over many years that calls into question the government's account of 9/11. Any citizen of conscience reading it will demand a new investigation." -Mike Gravel, United States Senate, 1969-1981
There's little doubt the tragic attacks on 9/11 soon became the defining events of our time, shaping much of what has followed. But even now, over a decade later, how well does the public actually understand them? Other researchers have written about key facets of 9/11-the fall of World Trade Center buildings, the air-defense failures, the backgrounds of the hijackers, or the role of the Saudi funders. This impressively researched volume, however, is the first comprehensive treatment of the many different angles. It connects the dots to reveal disturbing patterns. Years after many of us thought the Crime of the Century was solved, "case closed" additional evidence demands a closer look. These findings, which Dr. Rea presents in a lively, accessible way, call out for a new investigation. In Mounting Evidence , Dr. Rea shows how, by understanding the shattering events of that dark day, Americans can end seemingly endless wars, take back personal liberties they've lost, and restore their democracy.

Banned Books Week (BBW)
is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Held during the last week of September, Banned Books Week highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States.
Intellectual freedom–the freedom to access information and express ideas, even if the information and ideas might be considered unorthodox or unpopular–provides the foundation for Banned Books Week. BBW stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints for all who wish to read and access them.
The books featured during Banned Books Week have been targets of attempted bannings. Fortunately, while some books were banned or restricted, in a majority of cases the books were not banned, all thanks to the efforts of librarians, teachers, booksellers, and members of the community to retain the books in the library collections. Imagine how many more books might be challenged–and possibly banned or restricted–if librarians, teachers, and booksellers across the country did not use Banned Books Week each year to teach the importance of our First Amendment rights and the power of literature, and to draw attention to the danger that exists when restraints are imposed on the availability of information in a free society.
Banned Books Week is sponsored by the American Booksellers Association; American Booksellers Foundation for Free… Continue reading
Introduction: 9/11 Ten Years Later
The words in the title of this book – "9/11 Ten Years Later" – are often followed with an exclamation point. The exclamation point may be a way of expressing, by members of the 9/11 Truth Movement, amazement that the truth has not already been publicly revealed. The exclamation point might be used by detractors of this movement — perhaps along with an expletive — to express their feeling that it is time for these people to "get a life." The exclamation point might reflect a position somewhat in the middle — of spouses of members hoping that no more years of their family life will be oriented around the work of trying to get the truth revealed.
In any case, for reasons discussed in this book (especially the final two chapters), there is nothing surprising about the fact that the 9/11 crime has not been revealed. Those who have gained control of a state in an ostensible democracy have many means not only for orchestrating major crimes, but also for preventing those crimes (including their crimes against democracy itself) from being publicized.
What is somewhat surprising, perhaps to the perpetrators themselves, is the fact that the 9/11 Truth Movement is still alive and, in fact, continues to grow. The first professional 9/11 organization, Scholars for 9/11 Truth, was formed in 2005, and since then a dozen professional organizations have been created. It was not until 2006 that architect Richard Gage started… Continue reading
(Newark, California August 11, 2011). Years after most of us thought the Crime of the Century was solved, additional evidence demands a closer look.
While next month 's commemorations in New York, San Francisco and other cities are affirming the official narrative for the 9/11 tragedy, MOUNTING EVIDENCE shows how it doesn't square with information now available. In each of the key areas — the shifting stories, the remarkable intelligence lapses, the stunning air defense failures, the unprecedented fall of the World Trade Center buildings — the government explanations conflict with what is known today.
There's little doubt the tragic attacks on 9/11 quickly became the defining events of our time, shaping much of what has followed. But if Americans don't understand the past, are they ready to face an uncertain future? In MOUNTING EVIDENCE, Dr. Rea shows that by understanding the shattering events of that dark day, Americans can help to end seemingly endless wars, take back their lost personal liberties, and restore their democracy.
While other researchers have written about 9/11, this fact-based volume is the first comprehensive treatment of the many different angles. It connects the dots to reveal disturbing patterns concerning the intelligence failures, the hijackers' backgrounds, and the role of the Saudi funders.
Presented in a lively, accessible way, Dr. Rea 's findings call out for a new investigation. Former US Senator Mike Gravel, who is already organizing ballot referenda in… Continue reading

Introduction to Chapter 15 of Disconnecting the Dots , for publication at 911Truth.org :
In January 2000, several high-ranking al-Qaeda operatives, including alleged Flight 77 hijackers Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi, held a summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The meeting was monitored by the CIA and a local Malaysian service, although the agency reportedly failed to exploit this opportunity to learn what bin Laden's organization was planning. In addition, the CIA deliberately withheld information about the two men, in particular that Almihdhar had a US visa, from the FBI. The agency then allegedly suffered the misfortune of losing Almihdhar, Alhazmi and another al-Qaeda operative in Bangkok, Thailand. The surveillance of the Malaysia summit was run by Alec Station, the CIA's bin Laden unit, its chief Richard Blee and his deputy Tom Wilshire. On January 12 and 14 Blee gave his superior, Cofer Black, incorrect briefings about what was happening with the surveillance. Chapter 15 picks up the story on January 15.

I just turned the Big 31 and since the birthdays are starting to become less exciting the older I get, it takes a really special birthday present to get me pulled out of my "old lady" rut. I know I know, I should cherish each year that I'm given on this earth and not complain about birthdays - I get that, and I do love life! How could I not, with a great career, a wonderful husband and two beautiful little boys...but let's be realistic, who's up for celebrating birthdays after they've left their 20's??
Well, let me tell you something! My sweet sister-in-law snapped me out of my birthday rut, by bestowing upon me, Bobbi Brown's Brights Eye Palette ($70). And low and behold I'm celebrating turning 31with my fun new eye shadows and not looking back! This cute little fold up compact is full of 35 miniature bright eye shadows, all matte - no shiny sparkles, with a huge range of blues, greens, purples, pinks, even yellows.
Granted some of these colors are so bold and bright, that they might only have a place being used on a runway or a fashion shoot, but I find them intriguing and wondering how I can wear them on a daily basis! Each shadow is about the size of a Skittle or M&M (notice my picture and the blue M&M off to the side to compare size) so they're pretty tiny. But with such dynamic and deeply pigmented colors, one should only use a very small amount of each anyway.
Tricks to wearing such bright and colorful shadows
You will notice, that the model on the left has her bright shadow underneath her eye, which in the real world (meaning non-runway use) would need to be flipped to the upper eye lid for us non-models! It's just more wearable that way.
Miss Nelly (is 31 just like me!) may not be walking the runway, but this musical talent is not afraid to take makeup risks just like a model! She is actually rocking yellow shadow (Buttercup and Day Glow in the BB palette are yellow options), which is tough to do, but with her light caramel skin, she can pull it off.
So if you're in the mood for experimenting with some beautiful and bright shadows, this Bobbi Brown palette is a fun way to go about your experiment!
