Uganda's Parliament today re-introduced a proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill which Amnesty International considers a "grave assault on human rights" that must be rejected.
Some media reports indicate the death penalty provisions in original Bill have been removed, but other provisions remain inherently discriminatory and the continued attempt to further criminalise consensual sexual activity between individuals of the same sex is abhorrent.
"It's alarming and disappointing that Uganda's Parliament will once again consider the Anti-Homosexuality Bill," said Michelle Kagari, Deputy Africa Programme Director at Amnesty International.
"If passed, it would represent a grave assault on the human rights of all Ugandans, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity."
The bill introduces draconian provisions on top of Uganda's existing prohibition on consensual same-sex relations, which already violates international norms.
It aims to criminalize the "promotion" of homosexuality, compels HIV testing in some circumstances, and imposes life sentences for entering into a same-sex marriage. It would also be an offence for a person who is aware of any violations of the bill's wide-ranging provisions not to report them to the authorities within 24 hours.
The bill would significantly hamper the work of human rights defenders and others who find themselves in conflict with the law merely by carrying out their legitimate activities.
"The knock-on effect of passing this bill would reach far beyond gay and lesbian people in Uganda, impeding the legitimate work of civil society, public health professionals, and community leaders," said Michelle Kagari.
At the bill's reintroduction, the Speaker informed the House that the bill would not need to be considered again by the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee, raising fears that it could be passed into law imminently.
"This deplorable bill would not only violate the rights of Ugandans to life, to non-discrimination, to equality before the law, and to privacy, but would sanction hatred, violence and the persecution of a group of people based on whom they love alone,' said Michelle Kagari.
Ugandan and international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, have repeatedly called for the bill to be scrapped since it was first introduced in October 2009.
"We strongly urge the Ugandan Parliament to reject this bill in its entirety. It must not legislate hate," said Michelle Kagari.

Krystal Keith
Krystal Keith
No matter how compelling Krystal Keith's voice, songwriting and debut album Whiskey & Lace may be, there's no getting around the shadow of a musical superstar in the room. Not that she'd want to, of course. Krystal's father Toby contributed several songs and co-produced the project with Mark Wright. "You can't have a better mentor," she says. "As a songwriter, as a vocalist – and he's also my dad, so I get the best of all worlds wrapped up in one person."
The concern, however, is that the uncommon opportunity and access afforded the daughter of a music icon could obscure the emergence of a truly remarkable new artist. Because what's most noteworthy about Whiskey & Lace isn't the artist's lineage, but her range. Vocally, to be sure, but it's much more than that. Put simply, the album's breadth reveals her to be incredibly adept in ways rarely seen on a debut. And that speaks to an amazing amount of passion, preparation and patience – traits that define Krystal Keith as a viable artist in her own right.
In its earliest days, Krystal's desire to be a performer exceeded her ability. "I don't remember a time when I didn't sing," she says. "My sister likes to tell stories about me singing at the top of my lungs and points out, 'That was before you could sing good.' She had to learn how to sing harmony just so she could hear herself over me. But I was always a little ham and sang pretty much everywhere I went.
"There are pictures of me as a three-year-old throwing a fit because my mom wouldn't let me onstage with my dad, who was doing a Fourth of July BBQ show near our home in Oklahoma," she continues. "So they got me onstage and I was immediately freaked out when I saw all the people. I think I just wanted to sing with my dad, more than getting in front of an audience. But music was such a big thing in our household, always a part of my life and always the path I was on."
More than a general direction, however, music was a diligently pursued focus. "I started writing music when I was nine because I was taught that not everyone can perform and make it as a singer," she says. "I started singing in competitions when I was 13 and did a lot of local and regional competitions. And I recorded my first demo when I was 17, just to get used to being in the studio, working with studio musicians and working in a vocal booth."
Krystal made her national television debut in prime time as a teenager, singing "Mockingbird" with her father on a 2004 awards show. Despite widespread acclaim for her vocal abilities, she delayed the artist career she'd been working toward her whole life. "My parents really wanted me to graduate college, and my dad said he'd help me get started at that point," she explains. "So I went to the University of Oklahoma and got a degree in Communications with a Business emphasis. After graduation, I went full-time into working on my album."
The process only furthered her musical growth. "I've been songwriting for a long time, but only in the last couple years have I started co-writing," she says. "It's a new challenge I'm enjoying, and I've gotten a song out of every session I've done, which is rare. I've been writing with some of the most amazing, prolific songwriters in Nashville – Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins, Craig Wiseman, Bobby Pinson, Nathan Chapman and more. After writing solo for so long, having another creative soul to bounce ideas off of is a great experience."

Dustin Lance Black wins best Original Screenplay Oscar for Milkentertainment, lgbt, video Add comments (1)
It's hard not to be moved to tears… Here is a quote from Black's acceptance speech…
When I was 13 years old, my beautiful mother and my father moved me from a conservative Mormon home in San Antonio, Texas, to California, and I heard the story of Harvey Milk. And it gave me hope. It gave me the hope to live my life; it gave me the hope that one day I could live my life openly as who I am and that maybe even I could fall in love and one day get married…
Most of all, if Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he'd want me to say to all of the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told they are less than by their churches, or by the government, or by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value. And that no matter what everyone tells you, God does love you, and that very soon, I promise you, you will have equal rights federally across this great nation of ours.

We WERE moved to tears, here at home. I thought the bravery and joy and celebration of "be who you are" was exemplified at last night's ceremony.
And, where else would you see Micky Rourke and that newest tooth of his? Dressed as formally as he is able… (OK, that was too sarcastic, I'll stop now.)

Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Swiss anti-nuclear groups are continuing to call for an end to nuclear power plants, with the latest in a series of peaceful protests taking place Tuesday 26 April at Muehleberg.
An estimated 500 people formed a human chain around the centre from 07:00 to 08:30, but workers were allowed to enter the plant.
The protest was supported by the Socialist and Green political parties, as well as several groups, including Greenpeace. It marked the day 25 years ago when Chernobyl became the world's worst nuclear accident, with an explosion and fire at the power plant in Ukraine that spread radioactivity across much of Europe.
The Bernese power station received a vote of confidence from citizens in February, who agreed to plans to rebuild the aging plant, but after Japan's post-earthquake Fukushima nuclear problems Switzerland's energy minister, Doris Leuthard, called a temporary halt to all nuclear power plant construction.
The groups protesting in Bern have set up a camp in front of the offices of BKW, which owns Muehleberg, and say they will stay there until the plant is closed down. The city of Bern is currently tolerating their presence.

Givenchy's spring 2013 Hôtel Privé makeup collection, available in the UK from today, features mostly soft and demure hues for eyes, lips, and nails. Today I am highlighting the (only) lipstick in this collection, Rouge Interdit in 59 Private Peach.
Rouge Interdit in 59 Private Peach (limited edition, £21) is a moderately-to-well pigmented medium-depth peach with pink and beige undertones and a velvety and shimmerless finish. It glides fairly smoothly on the lips and the staying power of the color is very good.
This lipstick's combination of undertones reacts quite differently to different lightings. The more blue-toned sunlight in winter that we have now and cool-toned artificial lightings bring out the beige undertone and the lipstick shows up as a natural beige peach (similar to the color on the model in the promotional image below). The pink undertone is more pronounced under warm-toned artificial lightings, and the lipstick shows up as a (more vibrant) pinky peach.

Peachy lipsticks don't often appeal to me. (The more vibrantly peachy ones can look too orange, while the nude-peach ones usually look washed-out.) However, because of the subtle undertones and the natural depth of color (not too vibrant or pale), the lipstick looks relatively natural on me as long as I don't go too heavy-handed with it. I particularly like the soft semi-matte stain of color on my lips towards the end of wear, which looks gentle and elegant.
Overall this is a wearable warm-toned lipstick that has a fresh spring-like quality, and it should suit a wide variety of skin tones.

The rest of Givenchy's spring 2013 makeup collection includes:
– Écrin Privé (eyeshadow palette, 1 variation, £46)
– Gloss Interdit (2 new shades, £19.50)
– Vernis Please! (2 new shades, £13)
All the items in this collection are limited editions.

VIDEO: Yamateh and Mushi Interviewed
Posted by Kshitij "KrocK" Kothari at 30 August 2012 15:18
In a video interview before leaving for Seattle, Mushi mentions the uncertainties regarding his professional gaming career and admits his shortcomings as a captain. Yamateh, on the other hand, asserts how important it is to enjoy the game and gives insight into his most memorable moment with respect to the game.
In the interview, Mushi concedes the fact that he has been struggling on the personal front of his life and that has caused his performance to drop in the past.
He also expresses his doubt over the future of Orange's current team but reassures that If he was to continue playing, It would only be for Orange.Esports and that his team mate, Xtinct, would stick with him.
He also states that, given the choice to have dinner with Icefrog or Taylor Swift, He would choose Icefrog, since Dota has enriched his life more than anything else.
Yamateh admits that The International 2 was the sole reason he chose to become a part of Orange and still harbors a desire to create his own team even though it is extremely difficult.
While sharing his most memorable experience of the game, he recounts his experience while playing 1v1 Shadow Fiend against Yaphets in 2010.
It was then, that he realized the sheer amount of stress that the game brought to his life. He also stresses on the fact that enjoying the game is the most important thing to him.
Yamateh also admits that the fickle-minded nature of the fans is indeed cruel and has, in the past, upset him.
Both Mushi and Yamateh have undoubtedly been the Most Valuable Players for their team and believe that the future of Orange's current team depends on the level of their success at The International 2.

There hasn't been much sewing this week, so much as snowing and the resulting requisite snow playing! Tokyo and surrounding areas received an almost 50-year record snow fall, with our place receiving over a foot of snow. Apparently it was essentially a "snow typhoon"! Sunday morning was spent outside with all the neighbours shovelling snow while the kids exchanged snow balls with some teenage girl neighbours, Monday brought more snow playing with my son discovering a deep love for kicking snowmen and snow piles as much as he can. Also, I never knew just how many muscles you used for shovelling snow… ouch!
Melissa made this adorable paper pieced cushion using patterns from Kristy's shop.
Paula has a tutorial for this heart mini – just in time for Valentines Day!
Sarah made a fabulous fabric basket for her friend – a favourite gift for me to make too!
Time to link up this week's stitchy projects!

— — WELSHPOOL, WalesBill Bryson leans his walking stick outside a tiny, rough-stone church, where a hand-lettered sign invites "Dykers" — that would be us — to step inside for orange juice, barley water, tea and coffee.
Cracking open my guidebook, I note that this Welsh hamlet's tradition of providing free refreshment to walkers and other travelers dates to a visit by King Charles II in the late 17th century.
"In that case," said Bryson, pouring us each a cup of tea, "you might want to check the sell-by date on that milk."
Since moving back to Britain in 2003, the author of "Notes From a Small Island," "A Short History of Nearly Everything," "At Home" and other bestsellers has been walking the hills and dales of his adopted country. Hiking here is nothing like the sweatily disagreeable trudge along the Appalachian Trail that Bryson recounted in his 1998 classic, "A Walk in the Woods."

Sign up today to receive instant player updates, news and fantasy tips.
In fantasy baseball, top closers are like supermodels. They're rare, they're expensive and they make otherwise rational men do things they'll deny to friends later.
"I didn't draft Jonathan Papelbon in the third round. No, really, what kind of man do you take me for?"
Usually much beer drinking ensues.
Now if Tom Brady's marriage to Giselle doesn't work out, since he's already rich and talented beyond mortal standards, it's easy for him to pick himself up, dust himself off and go hang out at the Playboy Mansion looking for a rebound.
But if Papelbon, Rivera or K-Rod leave you at the alter, don't expect Hef to be handing you the keys to his mansion. You'll have to hit the waiver wire and scrounge for saves like the rest of us mortals trying to decide if Manny Corpas or Huston Street looks like a bridesmaid (setup man) or a bride (closer).
Oh sure, you could pledge allegiance to the single life, trolling the bars (waiver wire) for a one-night stand. Or worse, you could become a saves monk, punting the category and making a vow of saves celibacy. But you'll never find a supermodel that way…and you probably won't win a lot of fantasy baseball championships either.
Don't despair. Here are five names to remember as we enter this week's Fly 5: Salomon Torres, Jon Rauch, Ryan Franklin, Jonathan Broxton and Jensen Lewis. All entered 2008 as no more than bridesmaids to Eric Gagne, Chad Cordero, Jason Isringhausen, Takashi Saito and Joe Borowski. All ended it with double-digit save totals. Broxton, in fact, may be a borderline marriage prospect going into 2009.
Who can be your Broxton or your Franklin this season? Here are five current bridesmaids you might consider proposing marriage to before the season is out, in order of marriage worthiness:

Worked on FIFA 15 as an environment and lighting artist. Here are some marketing shots from the stadiums I worked on.
On these stadiums I did modeling, texturing and lighting for the Xbox One and Playstation 4 platforms. The stadiums where I worked on lighting, I created and mapped the lightmap UVs, created proxy geometry for the dynamic run time light to calculate final gather, and set up light rigs for both day and nighttime. My light rigs were then passed off to another artist to light the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 version.

3 Tips to Help You Find the Ultimate Student Surf Trip Packages
For many people, the ocean has a transcendental power. There is nothing more awe-inspiring than watching the cerulean blue waves crash along a crescent of golden coastline. While some of us take to the beach to sunbathe, others pick up their surfboards and tackle the ocean head on. There is spirituality to surfing that only surfers are aware of. The surfer searches for the perfect wave, and when it finally rolls in and breaks, there is absolute harmony between the mind, body and soul. If you find yourself dreaming of distant shores and quartz-white beaches, then it is time to explore the travel opportunities and surf trip packages that are best for you.
The spirituality and harmony of surfing has been tailored into a volunteer effort known as serving and surfing. There are places all over the globe that you can visit, surf incredible breakers, and give back to the community. Whether it is working in a home for poverty-stricken children or helping to repair a village, when you serve and surf you are helping the less fortunate and immersing yourself in an unknown culture. It is an opportunity that allows you to explore the world, ride great curls, and help people who are less fortunate. However, before you set sail on this magical journey, here are three tips that will help you find the ultimate surf package.
1. The right destination is the key to your happiness. There are epic waves surrounding every continent. You need to find a surf package that will take you to a place where you will feel comfortable. Tropical outposts on the other side of the globe might leave you feeling homesick, and if you are homesick how are you going to help serve the people you came to help?
2. Keep your surfing skills in mind. Are you a novice or experienced surfer? Your skill set will strongly determine what type of package is best for you. You do not want to be stuck building sand castles because the waves are too big and you cannot surf them.
3. Depending on your serving and surfing destination, language might be an issue. Find a surf package that will bring you to a destination where you will feel comfortable with the spoken word.
If you keep these three criteria in mind, you will have no problem finding the ultimate in surf trip packages. Surfs up.

The EPA also estimates the battery-electric vehicle, coming to select U.S. markets this summer, will achieve a combined-cycle equivalent of 199 MPG-e.
Chevy Spark BEV seen as efficient, fun-to-drive entry in segment.
General Motors says its '14 Chevrolet Spark battery-electric vehicle will travel 82 miles (132 km) on a full charge, putting it among the leaders in the nascent segment.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also estimates the Spark BEV, coming to select U.S. markets this summer, will achieve a combined-cycle equivalent of 199 MPG-e. MPG-e estimates the average distance an EV will travel for every unit of energy it uses.
"We're poised to deliver to the market an EV that's not just efficient, but also thrilling to drive," says Pam Fletcher, executive director-electric vehicles at GM.
Powered by a 21-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, GM says the Spark BEV will go 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in less than eight seconds on the strength of a permanent magnet electric motor and coaxial drive unit producing more than 100 kW (130 hp) and 400 lb.-ft. (542 Nm) of torque.
At the same time, the car will save buyers $9,000 in fuel costs over five years of ownership compared with the average new vehicle, according to EPA estimates.
The Spark BEVs range and MPG-e estimates put it among the leaders in its minicar class, alongside the '13 Fiat 500e at 87 miles (140 km) with a combined-cycle 116 MPG-e, and the '13 Scion iQ BEV at 38 miles (61 km) and 116 MPG-e. Toyota limits the Scion iQ to fleet and car-sharing programs.
The '13 Honda Fit, another key competitor to the Spark but classified as a wagon by the EPA, will travel 82 miles with 118 MPG-e.
GM initially will make the Spark available in California and Oregon only, before extending sales elsewhere in the U.S, Canada and South Korea, where it is manufactured. GM has not announced pricing but says the BEV will cost about $25,000 when buyers use an available $7,500 federal income tax credit.
A key selling point for the Spark BEV will be its optional DC Fast Charging system.
The option will not be available out of the gate, but when it does come owners will have the ability to fully charge their Spark BEV in 20 minutes, and the car will withstand multiple fast charges daily. Charging the Spark EV on a 220V outlet takes seven hours and a 110V outlet takes upwards of 14 hours.
BEVs are expected to help U.S. auto makers achieve new federal fleet-fuel-economy minimums of 35.5 mpg (6.6 L/100 km) by 2016 and 54.5 mpg (4.3 L/100 km) by 2025. The cars not only boost overall fuel efficiency for an auto maker but also provide credits if they fall short of their minimums.
BEVs particularly will be important to auto makers in California, where one-in-seven vehicles sold cannot emit any carbon-dioxide emissions.
Sales of the few BEVs currently available are tepid with 12,187 units delivered last year, for a market share of 0.08%, according to WardsAuto data.

Recipes in this Post
Many years ago before the Food Channel because the Food Network, I happened to be watching some show and the guest chef made this most wonderful stew with country pork ribs, tortillas and a blender. I was so impressed with what he did that I went out, bought the ingredients, and made it the very next day. It was delicious, and became one of my favorites. It's been so long that I don't remember what it was even called, but I called it Green Chili Pork Stew.
It's funny who your life changes over the years, different relationships, different priorities. You put your favorites away in some dusty mental attic to make room for all the other new and exciting foods. Then you find yourself on a cold, rainy day about to make Chili Colorado, when you spy some tortillas and decide at the last-minute to make that wonderful stew from so very long ago.
When I made this, I didn't have country pork ribs, I had pork stew meat, which was just as good. However, now that I've had it again, I'm going to go out and get some country ribs. Country-style ribs are cut from the blade end of the loin close to the pork shoulder. They are meatier than other rib cuts. They contain no rib bones, but are instead contain parts of the shoulder blade (scapula).

Chargers silence Cowboys in second half in 30-21 win
SAN DIEGO - Team was the theme for the San Diego Chargers, who held the Dallas Cowboys scoreless in the second half for a 30-21 victory Sunday before a crowd of 68,601 at Qualcomm Stadium.
"An outstanding team effort," Chargers coach Mike McCoy said. "That's what this game is all about. I'm proud of the football team and the coaches."
Quarterback Philip Rivers passed for three touchdowns and 401 yards, but it was the San Diego defense that was the talk of the locker room after it pitched a shutout in the second half.
"They did a good job," said Dallas quarterback Tony Romo, who completed 27 of 37 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns. "We had way too many missed opportunities more than anything. We had a few different times we could have moved the chains that would have put us into a third-down situation, (but) we didn't throw and catch like we needed to. That hurt. A couple of the penalties pushed us back. And then we've got to finish on that last opportunity to get into the end zone."
The dagger for the Cowboys came on their final possession, when they had a first-and-goal at the Chargers' 7 with 2:50 remaining. Romo hit Terrance Williams with a short pass at the 2, but Williams, as he was being tackled by Eric Weddle, tried to stretch into the end zone. He fumbled into the end zone instead, where Chargers cornerback Richard Marshall scooped it up.
San Diego proceeded to run out the clock and earn its third decision over the Cowboys in the past four meeting.
"Guys stepped up," Rivers said.
Rivers helped seal the win on a 56-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Gates with 6:54 remaining, capping the scoring and handing the Cowboys (2-2) a disappointing setback. Gates finished with 10 catches for 136 yards.
"We've got to get better," said Dallas running back DeMarco Murray, who finished with 70 yards rushing on 14 carries. "I thought we had a lot of positives in this game. We didn't have a lot of opportunities, but on the same side we have to capitalize on every opportunity we get. We didn't do that."
The Chargers (2-2) outgained the Cowboys 506-317 in total offense and owned an advantage in ball control at 34:03 to 25:57. Dallas had the ball for only 3:23 of the third quarter.
"They are a great offensive football team," said Dallas linebacker Sean Lee, who returned an interception for a 52-yard touchdown to stake the Cowboys to a 21-10 lead and recorded 15 tackles and assisted on three more. "They played well. They made some big plays in the second half that hurt us."
The Chargers opened the second half with their best series of the game, driving 80 yards in 10 plays and finishing with a 13-yard touchdown pass from Rivers to Danny Woodhead, who had five receptions for 54 yards and two touchdowns, and pulling them to within 21-20 with 9:39 remaining in the third quarter.
San Diego got a 23-yard field goal from Nick Novak before Rivers and Gates hooked up to close the deal.
San Diego scored first. Rivers hit Danny Woodhead on a 26-yard scoring pass for a 7-0 San Diego lead with 7:05 left in the first quarter, capping a 65-yard drive in five plays. A 32-yard pass from Rivers to rookie wide receiver Keenan Allen, giving the Chargers a first down at the Dallas 32, helped set up the score.
The Cowboys tied it early in the second quarter, marching 85 yards in nine plays, as Romo connected with Dez Bryant on a 5-yard touchdown pass with 13:10 left in the second.
A 56-yard field goal by Dan Bailey sailed wide left, giving the Chargers possession at their own 46 with 7:38 remaining in the half. San Diego took advantage of it, driving to the Dallas' 18 and getting a 36-yard field goal by Nick Novak for a 10-7 lead with 5:11 remaining in the second.
The Cowboys took the lead, though, when Romo connected with Bryant for a 34-yard touchdown pass and 14-10 advantage with 2:44 remaining in the half.
Dallas defensive tackle Jason Hatcher forced a San Diego turnover by hitting Rivers as he attempted a pass and allowing middle linebacker Sean Lee to pick it off and return it a 52 yards for a touchdown and 21-10 lead with 1:19 left in the half.
A 42-yard Novak field goal ended the half, cutting the Cowboys' lead to 21-13.
Chargers' rookie inside linebacker Manti Te'o made his pro debut Sunday. Te'o, who had missed the previous three games with a foot injury, finished with three tackles.
NOTES: Chargers outside linebacker Dwight Freeney left the game with a quad injury in the second quarter and did not return. ... The Cowboys are 6-4 overall against the Chargers and 5-2 in San Diego. ... A moment of silence was observed before the game for former Chargers safety Paul Oliver, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot Tuesday night in Marietta, Ga.

Washington Two former Vietnam prisoners of war who appear in ads attacking Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry were appointed by the Bush administration to a panel advising the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The former POWs in the ad, Kenneth Cordier and Paul Galanti, serve on the VA's 12-member Former POW Advisory Committee. VA Secretary Anthony Principi appointed Cordier in 2002 and Galanti in 2003.
Cordier said the VA panel had nothing to do with the Bush campaign or the anti-Kerry group. "It's totally apolitical, and we meet twice a year to bring to the secretary's attention problems from around the country in VA hospitals," he said.
Cordier and Galanti appear in an anti-Kerry ad saying their Vietnamese captors used news of anti-war protests, such as ones Kerry organized, to taunt the prisoners. Cordier also was a member of a Bush campaign veterans' committee but quit earlier this month after that role was revealed.
VA spokesman Phil Budahn said Principi did not know about or encourage the veterans' appearance in the anti-Kerry ad. Budahn said federal regulations bar advisory committee members from engaging in political activity while performing their committee duties, but there are no other restrictions on their activities when not working on committee business.
Kerry has labeled the group running the ads, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a front for the Bush campaign. Kerry's campaign complained to the Federal Election Commission that the veterans' group was illegally coordinating its attacks with the Bush campaign.
More than $100,000 of the group's initial funding came from Houston-area homebuilder Bob J. Perry, a longtime donor to Bush and other Texas Republicans. A Bush campaign lawyer also advised the Swift boat group and was dropped from the campaign staff after his role became public.
Bush and his campaign have denied any coordination with Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
Cordier said he got involved with the group because of his continuing outrage over anti-Vietnam war activists like Kerry. He said he got in touch with one of its leaders, John O'Neill, who later commanded the same Swift boat Kerry had overseen.
Cordier said he doesn't remember his Vietnamese captors specifically mentioning Kerry but he did remember them playing a tape of an address by anti-war activist Jane Fonda.
Cordier and Galanti are longtime friends and prominent former Vietnam POWs with long-standing Republican ties. Cordier said he suggested Galanti contact O'Neill.
Galanti coordinated Arizona Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign in Virginia four years ago and was a member of the same VA advisory panel when Bush's father was president. Cordier gave $2,000 to Texas Republicans in 2000 and 2001.
The anti-Kerry group's ads have accused Kerry of lying to get some of the five medals he won as a Swift boat commander in Vietnam.

I'm making progress on my stacked coin quilt for my mother-in-law's birthday. I decided to follow the pattern on the Moda Bake Shop website, but I'm enlarging it to 32 coins high and 6 columns, rather than 5. I'm hoping it will be a good size for a picnic blanket for two people. Since I changed my mind on the size after I started, I had to order more charm packs. Hopefully they get here soon so I can keep working! I need to be done by the 14th – 10 days!
This is also my participation in the 2009 Coin Quilt Piece-Along.

A number of Oregon's native tribes stand poised to consolidate tribal land holdings now that the federal government has launched its long-awaited land buy-back program.
The federal government agreed to set aside $1.9 billion for the program, as part of its settlement of a large class-action lawsuit.
Bodie Shaw is the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Northwest Deputy Regional Director for Trust Services.
He says a series of federal laws passed more than a century ago led to once communally-owned lands winding up in private — and mostly non-Indian — hands.
The funds will be used to purchase tribal trust lands, provided the current owner is willing to sell. Shaw says many small parcels can literally have hundreds of different owners.
"So management and authority and jurisdiction over that type of checkerboard has continually wreaked havoc when it comes to whether it be law enforcement, tribal jurisdiction and it's just been a very difficult road that we've been on," said Shaw.
Four Oregon tribes meet the requirements for participation in the program. The largest being the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs which has 44,000 acres eligible for buy-back.

anyone on the PTR able to tell me if Tailoring has survived the patch or not.
anyone on the PTR able to tell me if Tailoring has survived the patch or not.
Unfortunately, until the people at Blizzard take time to quit explaining why they are right and anyone who disagrees is wrong, they are not going to even hear everyone speaking out desperately trying to warn them the ship is sinking.the problems driving players from WoW aren't content or the age of the game, the problem is how the game experience and design philosophy are being undermined by Blizzard's hubris and greed.
Survived? It got it's cloaks enchants buffed, and some new items, just like every other production profession.
Tailoring has always been nice and still is.
Why Not ^^
Tailoring is an excellent profession. Silly min-maxxers think they have everything figured out based on 1 item comparison, but that's nuts.
Tailoring is decent as far as min/maxing goes; the back enchants still makes it on par with the alternative professions, and it's the only way of getting manaregen as your back enchant - which is good for healers.
But - if you are planning on actually wearing or selling anything you produce, you are mistaken badly. Blizzard could remove all tailor craft recipes from the game tomorrow and it would take quite a while before anyone would even notice, even less care. All the cloth recipes are horribly expensive and redundant as the effort required to join a naxx10 pug is extremely low. The bags don't sell at all unless you sell with a loss, and the only time anyone want my tailoring skills is if they can't be arsed to pay the 15g required for a leg enchant on the AH and have the mats instead.
So I'd call tailoring pretty useless as far as professions go. Then again, the same holds true for leatherworking and blacksmithing.

woot? 15g for leg enchant, man yours server economy suxOriginally Posted by Danner
and sell that damn cloth, i sell it always for >100g a piece
Man, your server economy is messed up. On my server they sell for ~250g, and that's a fair price considering the mats. Bottom line, tailoring is nothing but a mount (carpet), a money saver (leg enchant) and a cloak enchant.Originally Posted by Danner
If I was a Blizz server technician, I'd hijack a server and use it to download porn 24/7. Guess why the instance servers always are full B]
TBC, yes.Originally Posted by AK_47
Early WoTLK, it was trash, until they buffed Lightweave Embroidery.
But yeah, it'll still be a top contender for caster classes, if not the best with the JC nerf.
Leatherworking leg enchants are expensive since they require arctic fur. The arctic fur is the expensive part, often selling for 100-200g a piece on my server at least. There is no profit in the leg enchants themselves.Originally Posted by Evereghalo
In comparison, the tailor leg enchants need 4xEternals, 4 spiderweb and a chapass frozen orb. The eternal life at least is sold for 3g/piece at my server (we have many herbalists), fire is a bit higher in cost but not a lot. The spiderwebs usually just amass up after random naxx pugs, and sooner or later end up at the AH at criminally low prizes. The orb is the only real thing that is worth anything. Add there are still way too many of those around. Add to the fact that people sell the leg enchants at a loss, then 15g it is. I'm a tailor, and if I didn't have the cheap option of making my own for the price of a thread, i'd buy mine at the AH. Anything else would be unprofitable.
As far as BS goes, I assume you mean the ulduar recipes. Yes, tailoring and leatherworking has those too. But they are all BoE. Even if you want to wear them, you don't have to be a blacksmith. They can't be accounted as reasons for picking that profession.

Arctic fur goes for around 12-15 gold on my server and has been that way for months. I gave up bothering to farm leather lol.Originally Posted by Danner
Actually after the Lightweave buff tailoring has been the best proffession bonus-wise for casters even before the 3.2 JC "nerf".Originally Posted by Baever
And it still is a good way to get more bang for your buck from enchanting.Not to mention that levelling it is pretty much a breeze compared to crap like BS/Engi or even JC.
I just grabbed tailoring cause I needed something for Alchemy and already had an Enchanter/Herbalist
Last i checked blacksmithing gives you 2 extra gem slots that can fit those new epic gems? The titan steel epic weapons sell for allot on my server becuase every alt that wants a weapon "RIGHT NOW" buys them with an ok proffit margin. But the big thing is realy the 2 extra sockets. Do you know how much stam you can fit into 2 sockets with the new epic gems?Originally Posted by Danner
When people say "pls" just because its shorter then "please", I feel totally justified to say "No" just because its shorter then "Yes".
you can all qq bout tailoring being a shity pattern but ill be dropping my bracers/ robes of umbral brute for the new bracers and robes /drool

Lol!! I make 1000+ g a day on tailoring. Wispcloak 400g, deathchill cloak 500g and threads 200g each. Sometimes I sell frostsavage set and get another 500 g =) So... it's lots of moneymaking... it's even a moneymaking machine and also it doesn't take long to farm most of the mats.Originally Posted by Danner

Laman St figs escape the chop ... again
A few days ago it seemed like a done deal. After months of wrangling, the chainsaws were ready to move in this morning to cut down Newcastle's Laman St fig trees. Protesters camped out overnight in nearby Civic Park in anticipation, but a last-minute move from the Lord Mayor looks to have won yet another reprieve for the trees.

Lord Mayor John Tate served papers on the council's general manager last night, with a motion asking that the matter be sent back to the council.
It was signed by Greens councillor, Michael Osborne, and Labor's Sharon Claydon.
As a result, the contractors who were brought in to remove the trees have been asked to take no action for now.
The mayor says he used a loophole in the Local Government Act which allows a matter to be brought back to council for consideration.
He's pushing for an independent safety assessment of the trees.
The Save Our Figs group camped out overnight in Civic Park, and 1233's Jill Emberson was there when the Lord Mayor addressed the protesters early this morning.
"There's been some dark times in this whole issue and there's times I've felt gutted, I really have, and I know you have too," he said.
"But you know what, I have the conviction and I'm sure you do too, if you're on the true, honest, fair-dinkum path you will prevail.
"And I want you to know we'll never stop."
Mayor Tate then led the group in a chant of "We'll never stop".
Jill spoke to one of the protesters who said Laman St, with its avenue of large fig trees, had become one of her favourite parts of Newcastle when she moved to the city.
"This is something that is iconic for Newcastle, it's the most beautiful part of Newcastle and it represents the heart of the city," she said.
"God knows that Newcastle needs something that distinguishes it from every other regional city and this little region here, the Civic centre, is just so beautiful and the fig trees are a part of that.
"If they're destroyed then I think the heart of the city is destroyed."
The Save Our Figs group says the reported cost of $70,000 to do a third-party assessment is wildly exaggerated and would actually be much cheaper.
But Independent councillor, Aaron Buman, says the matter shouldn't be allowed to drag on any longer as it's having a negative impact on the council's administration.
It could now be at least another week before the council decides the fate of the 14 fig trees.

Tony Romo's answers a few questions about the first week of camp, including the new defense, the play of Dez Bryant and Miles Austin and marriage
On whether it's been slow getting started:
"No, it's been good actually. There's a lot stuff being thrown at a lot of guys. We have a lot of young guys being out there put in positions and we've thrown a lot at them. It's been very good. I've been very pleased. The guys have gotten off to a pretty good start. We have to minimize a couple of mistakes, just the mental errors on some plays, but that's to be expected the first few days of camp."
On what he is going to do on the players day off tomorrow:
"I don't know, probably try to sleep and then I'll probably grab some lunch with some of the guys."
On the first week of practice:
"To you guys, it may not feel like a lot of work, but to the guys, they've grinded away. It's been a long, hard week and practice goes on for a while so it's been a great test for each guy individually to get physically get through it, I think."
On what he thinks about the new defense:
"Defense looks good. They've got a lot of stuff in. I expect nothing but great things out of them this year. It's going to be exciting to see."
On whether it was a sight adjustment on the line when he threw a long touchdown pass to Dez Bryant yesterday:
"Yeah. I signaled to him out there to change the play and he did a good job picking up the play. (We) were lucky to catch the corner sitting a little bit."
On Dez Bryant's progression:
"He's coming a long way. Dez (Bryant) has had a good camp. Offensively, we're rolling right along. It's been a really good start to camp. It's exciting to see."
On the benefits that can come from Miles Austin and Dez Bryant now being buddies:
"The more you talk about the game and the more you're around the game, the more you put yourself in a position to hear what someone else does to make them successful. It just can't help but help you grow as a player. I think they're both doing a great job of competing everyday and having fun doing it."
On Dez Bryant and Miles Austin's camp performance:
"Dez comes to work every day he's out here. When he's here he just puts his working hat on and he goes out here and runs all day. Miles (Austin) is the same way. They both have a great work ethic; they both have a great attitude. From a quarterback's perspective, its fun being out here throwing with these guys over and over again."
On how much is new and different in the offense:
"We're always putting in some new things each year that comes in. Overall, of course stuff will be similar but we have some new stuff that we're pretty excited about."
On how much he learned watching the games while he was injured:
"You missed the game and playing football. You just have that passion. That's why you played it when you were young. It's what you want to be back out here doing. For me, you get to look at it from a coach's perspective in some ways when you watch the game on the sideline and you're listening in on the calls from both sides. You gain an understanding of what their thought process is a little. I gained a little bit of understanding from the coach's perspective in a game."
On whether he feels he is sharp:
"I've been pretty sharp here at the start of camp. This is exciting for me, just coming out and throwing it like I have. I think going forward you're always going to do little things, but the ball wants to come out nice, fast, hard, and be able to grab it and be able to throw it 20 yards and be accurate, you know, it's exciting."
On how is shoulder feels:
"Shoulder is good. I feel great. I'm throwing the ball well."
On the offseason workouts he held:
"We wouldn't have gotten off to anywhere near the start we have offensively without that work. We're seeing a lot of crazy stuff by our defense. In years past it would have been very difficult for us to kind of handle some of this stuff. You're not right on every play. We're not always getting into the correct play versus a lot of the stuff we're running. But you have to manage it and go out there and do what you can."
On the disappointing season last year and that the team doesn't seem to be talking about any expectations this year:
"I think expectations come with success and we weren't obviously successful with our win/loss record last year. That's just part of the process, and we know that, so we don't hear as many questions about it per se, and probably not as many stories about it. For us, it's all hearsay. It doesn't really matter whether you guys ask us questions or you talk about it or you don't. It's just about going out here and working hard today and getting better and becoming the best team and individually we can be. When we do all of that, that will give us our best chance to win."
On the long passing game:
"I think you're always trying to do everything on the field. You want to be able to throw it down the field. I think we've put some stuff in that's pretty exciting and we'll probably see more of that as we continue to go here."
On whether being married changes the approach to a job (based on a quote by Martellus Bennett):
"I can't comment for Martellus (Bennett). I just think sometimes when you find someone it slows things down for some people. It makes it a little bit easier to get to bed on time or do things of that nature. You know, there's food on the table at the end of the day; all that fun stuff."

How To Get The Luxury Home Plan That You Have Always Wanted
Before any building project can be initiated a luxury home plan has to be crafted that encompasses the layout and qualities that the home buyer requires in their custom design. To receive a luxury home plan that exceeds expectations customers should look for three important qualities in a home designer:
1. Recognized as a Leader in the Field of Home Design
Perhaps even the most important characteristic of a design firm is their notoriety in the industry. The home designer and building team should have a full and impressive portfolio of completed homes that match the vision and ideals that the customer wants to see in their own plan. Whether it's a specialty with environmentally friendly designs, building waterfront homes or a designer that will match the home closely with its surrounding nature; these are the considerations that will be necessary when selecting a designer to create the concept.
Another important quality that relates to field exposure is the designer's current participation in building projects such as a private community design or even appearing on television or Internet shows to demonstrate knowledge and experience for a wider audience. A design team that is recognized for innovative concepts and is active in the community will be better equipped to assist the home buyer as he or she determines their own layout and design qualities.
2. Listens Carefully and Provides Individualized Service
An important characteristic in a home designer is the ability to listen carefully to their client's wants and needs. The design will ultimately be a reflection of the home buyer and how they see their lifestyle, tastes and the accommodations that they require in an overall design. The architect should not only be a great listener but provide the client with feedback, coming from a knowledgeable and insightful standpoint. This will help with overcoming obstacles and crafting creative solutions.
Individualized attention is of utmost importance when creating a luxury home design as there will be many components that will need to be discussed and established. The superior service of a home designer will ensure an efficient and seamless designing process for their clients.
3. Partners to Supplement Design Services
A home plan designer that has been in the industry for many years will have gained a valuable network of skilled trades and professionals. The benefit of this network is that the architect can recommend these services to the client and be able to provide a referred list of trades. This helps to streamline processes, avoid costly hiring errors and provides the client with services that the architect has worked with successfully in the past and can vouch for.
These three characteristics will help any customer with their luxury home project by getting the right home plan designer, to bring the vision of a luxury layout, and to make it a reality for the client.

Yesterday, designer Prabal Gurung hinted to us that his riveting Resort music video collaboration with rapper Rye Rye is a successful foray into a future filled with more style and sound marriages. He grew up on a hardy mix of classic rock (The Beatles and Bob Dylan were omnipresent staples in his parents' home), but soon indulged a New Wave and dance habit in the 80s. Nowadays, his tastes are more ecletic than ever, and correspond aesthetically with his own multi-varied, intelligently subtexted designs. Below, Gurung kicks off our new Designer Playlist series with some of the songs he adores at the moment:
Prabal's Exclusive Rolling Stone Summer Playlist:
1. Rye Rye – "New Thing"
"I love her voice, tone, energy and everything about her."
2. Cat Power – "Where is My Love?"
"Hauntingly, beautifully melancholic. The inspiration behind my Fall collection; I listened to this a lot while designing it."
3. Quadron – "Jeans"
"Has this old school folksy soul vibe, which I love. Like, you wanna jam with this, you know?"
4. Portishead – "Sour Times"
"I live for this song and everything about them."
5. Sveta Bout – "So Little"
"I just discovered this new artist in Brooklyn through a friend of mine. I just love, love her sound. It feels fresh."

Lovely place to be. It's really quiet there, but many interesting places can be reached in less than one hour driving time. Sarah and Kevin are very nice hosts, offering a lot of help and great tips for your stay. The breakfast was delicious, especially the eggs.
Surprised by the odd and unneccesary review on us as (over)paying guests (275 for four nights without breakfast!). So much for "how was your day". Nagging host, despite of not having to make any breakfast because of our diet. Mediocre room, shower moldy and not working. Critisizing A dirty towel doesn't fit a hospitable B&B host as we know it. Took up A little space in her kitchen to make our vegetable and fruitjuices which we allways took with us insteading of drinking in our bedroom and staining the bedtables as she claims. Our advice: don't go here, if you don't live up to the so called clean standards of Sarah, beware of her dirt being thrown at you afterwards.
Fantastic hosts and a absolut lovely & cosy place to be. clean and nice, located next to Bath. Good communication with Sarah and fresh eggs for the breakfast from their own two hens :-)
It was a lovely place to stay! Kevin & Sarah were very friendly.
The Cottage House was nice and charming.
The every morning presented breakfast table was beautiful.
If we have the opportunity, we will come back again.
Sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Gastgeber. Unkomplizierter Umgang. Alles wie angekündigt. Empfehlenswert.
Fijn verblijf gehad. Gezellige eenvoudige cottage met prachtige tuin , en gastvrije bewoners.
Zeker mooie wandelstreek rondom de woonplaats.
De stad Bath zeer de moeite waard!
Kevin und Sarah waren sehr freundliche, hilfsbereite Gastgeber und die Unterkunft ideal in der Nähe von Bath gelegen.Ruhiges, schönes Zimmer und reizende Haustiere, 2 Hühner und eine Katze.

Your favorite word.
If it's not hate, then it's how to hate, when to hate, and who to hate. You don't care why you hate. You just do.
If it's not something you like. If it's not something like you. Even if it's something smarter, bigger, and better than you. You hate.
If it's not your way. If it's not what you know. If it's not what you are familiar with. You hate.
If it's not something that you can do. If it's something that's a threat to you. You hate.
Let's face it. The truth.
You really are better, smarter, and above anybody else. Don't worry about loving anyone. It's not worth your precious time.
The world needs more people like you. Sorry about that, there's a bunch more of you out there already.
You've come to the perfect place.

The San Francisco 49ers traded up nine spots to draft quarterback Colin Kaepernick 36th overall — the fourth pick of the second round — in the 2011 draft.
Apparently coach Jim Harbaugh already thought the team was getting great value and couldn't wait any longer. Harbaugh's father, Jack, shared the following anecdote Friday night on NFL Network's The Coaches Show.
"Great story," began Jack Harbaugh. "After the first day of the draft, (I) called Jim, and I said, 'Jim, who's the quarterback you're gonna take in the second round?' Promised I wouldn't say anything to anyone.
PICKS: USA TODAY's Super Bowl XLVII predictions
"And he said, 'I'm gonna take Colin Kaepernick. I not only think that he's the best quarterback in the draft, I think he's the very best player in the draft.' So I think that speaks volumes for his talent."
It's tough to argue with Jim Harbaugh's convictions about a budding, 25-year-old star who's vexed NFL defenses. Despite plenty of second guessers, the coach was right to promote the long-striding, howitzer-armed Kaepernick ahead of Alex Smith in the middle of the season even after hot-handed Smith had recovered from a concussion.
Now the Niners are one win away from some Lombardi hardware, and the Baltimore Ravens are trying to solve the read-option offense Kaepernick smoothly orchestrates. Meanwhile, none of the quarterbacks drafted ahead of Kaepernick — (Cam Newton (first overall), Jake Locker (eighth), Blaine Gabbert (10th), Christian Ponder (12th) and Andy Dalton (35th) — has won a playoff game, even though they have more NFL game experience than Kaepernick.
