I've just read back further, and might start another arguement here. What does FRPS (ARPS, LRPS) actually mean?
It means - got there once and prepared to pay for it. It doesnt mean still can, or ever could in some subject areas. The photographer may not have exposed a frame on anything for years!
Remember, as in degrees, distinctions at the Royal are attained in certain subject areas. A person may have got his FRPS in dental photography! Not necessarily the best field to make him/her a general judge.
Always ask what field the distinction is in. Also remember that the panel judging process leaves open the cheating route. Who is to say the submitting photographer actually took some or all of the shots - only trust. My trust of people is not good!
For me, continued illustration of capability is the only route, not qualifications and certainley not those you pay for alone. (For the record, I have a good degree in Metallurgy, but havn't followed my profession since 1971, which puts me a little out of touch.)
Possibly the Mags are being outdone.HERE.By having the best uptodate body of like minded people to comment /help/guide/critisize/and of course reward without having to wait a month to buy a mag that covers season by season year in year out.Besause its live & interactive.And L.R.P.S. is only qualified by the first letter.L= learner. told to me by an F.R.P.S. what does F stand for.
Haven't been in to Photography that long, only about 8 months. Bought loads of magazines at first. Now the only one i get is 'Outdoor Photography', which is really great for people of all skill levels, and for that area of photography obviously. But none seem anywhere near as informative or indeed, as addictive as this site.
Most of the mags are at an introductry level, and all say much the same thing e.g "6 tips to take better landscape photos", or "how to take better portraits". It describes subject areas like this quite a superficairy level. I am sure that many on this site are buying them or have bought them. The number of questions asked and answered by this site, and its collective knowldge, clearly shows that the magazines aren't quite getting it correct.
They, are of course, some useful and interesting articles, but they could do so much better. After about 1 years worth, it all starts repeating again, and doesn't really cover any new ground.
There is a great deal to read in the photo mags. Just a shame that you would have to buy them all to make one interesting read these days.
They reach out to the lowest common denominator because that is their market.
Not intending to insult beginners. I have a collection of articles culled over the last couple of years.
I decided earlier this year to stop buying photomags altogether.
Outdoor Photography's still worth a look.
Well, if you're into outdoorsy things it is.
You can always tell which are the naff photo mags, they are the one that end up in the dentist & doctor's surgeries waiting rooms!
That would explain why Ive seen a fair few of Amateur photography magazines of late.

Quote: Now the only one i get is 'Outdoor Photography'
I am a self confessed magazine addict, and since going digital I dread to think how much I have spent on photo magazines but I agree with Jaspernina as above.
Outdoor Photography is the one for me. Perhaps that's because I like taking photographs out of doors.
Any other mags I tend to buy for the reviews now.
DSLR, in my opinion is the best one out there at the moment. Varied articles, LOADS of excellent photographs, an excellent monthly competition format, minimal advertising (for now), which is why I moved from Digital Camera (half the mag is ads) and lots of recognisable EPZ'ers in DSLR.

You may be waiting for some time then.
These magazines just love the i wont to be famous .
They only pay out to the known names not the wannabes.
Sorry but that is how it works.
And as long as you are happy to supply them they will be happy to fill their pages with your shots,
At no cost to themselves.
But at least you get your five minutes of fame

|Toshiba Tech Support Results

Last year, Toshiba came in third-to-last with a C+. Although its online resources were extensive, we had to work to find answers. Plus, phone support reps answered one of our three questions incorrectly.
Aside from adding a new Twitter account, @ToshibaUS_Help, the company hasn't done much to improve things. Borrowing an unfortunate page out of Apple's book, Toshiba now offers 90 days of support, instead of one year. After that, help will cost you.
For this year's test, we asked how to enable three-finger swiping on the touchpad, how to extend battery life and how to use Toshiba's preloaded Face Recognition utility on the Portégé R835 notebook.
Toshiba's Product Support page is very well-organized. We found our specific model in three clicks. We were offered driver downloads, support bulletins, detailed specs, user's guides, product tours and resource guides. We found helpful answers to our face recognition question, which referred us to the help file on our notebook.
We found no help in Forums, which was overwhelmingly filled with posts. Upon searching Extend under the generic Toshiba Batteries And Power section, we found several results.
When we used the Virtual Help Desk to ask "How do I extend my laptop's battery life?," we were given a list of eight options, but none of them told us how to extend our battery life. Toshiba doesn't offer live chat support or email assistance.
We tweeted our three-finger swipe question to Toshiba and received a response within the hour asking us for more details. We went back and forth, but didn't end up with a complete answer. After taking us to the Settings page that would allow us to enable three-finger flick if our notebook model had the capability, the customer service reps said that our model's users' guide "shows multitouch pinch to zoom but no reference to swiping." Toshiba took us half of the way to our answer, but didn't completely follow through.
We posted our face recognition question on Toshiba USA's Facebook Timeline, but never received a response. The fact that the company's Facebook page was littered with users' unanswered questions and complaints about the company's poor customer service didn't inspire confidence.
On our first Toshiba support call a little before 11 a.m. EST, we navigated a robot phone tree, which asked for our serial number. The automated machine alerted us that because our notebook was purchased more than 90 days ago, we may be charged for customer service. Then John from the Philippines (where all Toshiba's representatives we spoke to were located) answered. After asking him how to use Face Recognition, he briefly (but correctly) explained the utility's purpose. When we asked him to walk us through the setup process, John said representatives don't typically do that, but was happy to direct me to the online user's manual. Our entire call lasted 13 minutes.
On a different day, we asked Electro how to extend our Portégé's battery life. While he was very nice, he wasn't helpful. During our 9-minute call, he explained that our notebook had a 300-cycle, which meant that for the first 300 charges it would charge to 100 percent. After that, it would only charge to 80 percent. However, he didn't have any suggestions regarding steps to take to prolong endurance, even when we pressed him. He simply said there would soon be a software update that would help battery life.
On our last call in the early evening, we asked James how to enable three-finger swipe. After briefly putting us on hold, he guided us through the process correctly. We were up and running by the end of our 14-minute call.
All in all, although our customer service reps were all friendly and delivered quick results, they didn't always provide the depth of service we hoped for. For example, we wish John had guided us through the Face Recognition setup process. But talking to a representative was a bit better than attempting to fish for answers ourselves on Toshiba's website.
After our experience with Toshiba's Web and phone support, we came to the conclusion that the company hasn't done much of anything to improve its grade from last year. Although the support site is very neatly organized, it only has the answers to basic user questions, such as how to use a common feature. Harder-to-define questions were unavailable and too hard to search for on Toshiba's forums. The company's Facebook presence is pretty much a joke. If Toshiba wants to improve its tech support, it has a lot to work on.
Dell service stinks. They also don't stand behind their equipment. I've had nothing but problems with Dell and will never purchase another.
then if the sony is the top 1 at tech support..
what is the brand that is best for gamings..
i mean which brand is best for gamings..
including the price the kind of specs the kind of products.
which is the best brand of laptop that is good for gaming..
mostly and surely about durability and performance through out the year.
"Acer Tech Report Results" is shown as the title on the Sony page.
I have to agree with Not Phil – I've never in my life encountered such appalling "service" as I just did from Dell! Will never buy from them again (not that they care).
ive got a couple of asus notebooks and also a netbook, over the yrs ive had a couple of minor warranty issues and asus support has been brilliant, the asus techs seem enthusiastic about there products and are more then happy to take the time to show u little things or answer questions,
I'm with Karen and notphil…….. Dell is terrible. Half the time they give you the wrong information and if you have continuing problems… too bad.
I say this as a person who has purchased 4 computers from them in the past, and will not in future.
the thing about dell is their consumer products suck they have for a long time and they probably always will. That said buy the same computer relabled vostro, pay the extra for pro support and your phone wait time is 2 minutes max and they'll have a US based technician solving any problem have and they'll drop off the part you need within 4 hours. but if you expect to pay $400 for a laptop that costs $375 to build ship and market. you'll get crap support.
I've had had Dell XPS's since 2004. That came with a dedicated phone line only for the XPS line, it was India sometimes but not all. The support was decent.
Prior to that I had Dell Dimension's 8400 and their tech support was as good as dealing with monkeys.
Recently I bought a Lenovo Desktop. Tech support is located in the U.S. for my model and I just read yesterday that all tech support is coming back to the states. I also bought a 5 yr. Priority Service upgrade so I am good till 2018 if I still even have this them?
Having U.S. support is one of the reasons I bought this system. I liked another one a bit more, same price.. more of a gaming system with support in India and no Priority Support like I do here in the states. I do get next day service with this one too and they will only warranty it for 3 yrs max, (what's that tell you?)
I am still within the time frame of returning this system exchanging it for the other and dealing with India.
Also, Lenovo does not use refurbished parts when repairing your computer, completely new parts are always used.
Let me just say that I will NEVER EVER buy a DELL product again! I just had the worst experience with tech support. I have had continuing problems and they said pretty much what I have already heard on here…too bad. I told them that you all just lost another Dell customer and it didn't really phase them too much. I was supposed to get a new laptop from all the problems I had with this one and they told me "it won't get approved from all the departments here and plus we need more information." Really?? Like you don't have a ton already with all the problems I've had??

Like you don't have a ton already with all the problems I've had??
and then i took help from axes pc care they are the genuine people their number is 1-877-509-8360
I'm stunned to see Sony get first place in tech support. That doesn't reflect my experience at all, and I've been on the phone with them as recently as a few months ago. I think they're no better than any other manufacturer, and they're all terrible.
I also think that Apple's tech support, while probably better than everyone else's, is overrated. I've had at least two negative experiences with them over the past couple of years, one of them requiring intervention on the part of a supervisor who was embarrassed by the ignorance and unprofessionalism of his subordinate.
When will Laptop Magazine release the showdown results for 2013?
We are putting the finishing touches on this story now. It will be coming in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned!

2012-12-21 04:00 - Featuring: Ricky Warwick, Scott Gorham, Damon Johnson, Marco Mendoza, Jimmy DeGrasso
In October 2012 Thin Lizzy announced that they would not be recording new material under the Thin Lizzy monicker. The last incarnation of the band - Scott Gorham, Brian Downey, Darren Wharton, Ricky Warwick, Damon Johnson and Marco Mendoza – would be looking to form a new project.
Step forward Black Star Riders…
24th December 2012 sees the announcement of the new band formed by Thin Lizzy alumni Ricky Warwick (vocals), Scott Gorham (guitar), Damon Johnson (guitar), Marco Mendoza (bass) with new addition Jimmy DeGrasso on drums (Alice Cooper, Megadeth, David Lee Roth, Suicidal Tendencies). The change in personnel came about as Brian Downey didn't want to commit to the touring cycle a new album would entail and Darren Wharton wanted to concentrate on Dare and other music and film projects.
Black Star Riders is set to enter the studio in Los Angeles in January 2013 to start recording their debut album with the legendary Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Rush). The album will feature material the band wrote whilst touring as Thin Lizzy and the sound retains that classic feel but is very much its own as well. The Black Star Riders record is the next step in the evolution of the Thin Lizzy story.
"We are all very excited about the music that we have created for Black Star Riders. The synergy between the five of us has been phenomenal and I can't wait for the world to hear these songs." Ricky Warwick
The new, as yet untitled, album will be released in May 2013 through Nuclear Blast – the label behind acts such as Anthrax, Nightwish and Meshuggah. Black Star Riders are one of the first bands signed by Monte Conner – the former Roadrunner A&R guru who has signed acts such as Slipknot, Machine Head, Sepultura and Rush. Conner recently joined Nuclear Blast as the president of Nuclear Blast Entertainment, a new U.S. partnership he co-founded with Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger.
Says Conner: "As a lifelong Thin Lizzy fan, I was floored by this line-up's new material. Not only do the new songs sound like Thin Lizzy but they sound like CLASSIC Thin Lizzy. Black Star Riders totally captures the essence of what was great about the original band while at the same time adding something totally fresh and modern. Even when I heard the band decided to change their name, my interest in signing them did not waver for one second."
The band are looking to support their May album release with European festivals shows in the summer of 2013 and follow this up with worldwide touring. The set list will consist of material from the new album and classic Thin Lizzy material.
BLACK STAR RIDERS are:
Ricky Warwick - Vocals
Scott Gorham - Guitar
Damon Johnson - Guitar
Marco Mendoza - Bass
Jimmy DeGrasso - Drums

'The Dictator': Baron Cohen Still Rules
Glenn Kenny, Special to MSN Movies
"Sacha Baron Cohen Gives Up" could be the alternate title for this somewhat slight but commendably brisk new comedy. His most popular self-determined movie comedies, 2006's "Borat" and 2009's "Bruno," had the chameleonic, vastly gifted performer, who's also a sharp satirist, donning outrageous character garb and traits and perpetuating alternately scripted and documentary-style acts of guerrilla comedy on unsuspecting real people, the better to make some plangent points. Now the inevitable has happened: Baron Cohen himself is too famous to really pull off putting his characters into the "real world" (as he inadvertently (or maybe not) demonstrated with his flop appearance at this year's Oscars, playing his character from this movie). And so "The Dictator" has him pulling off various outrageous antics in the movie world, and it's all the more focused and consistently funny for that.
Search: More on Sacha Baron Cohen | More on Anna Faris
Baron Cohen plays a dim, nasty Middle East strongman named Aladeen, whose vast wealth (plundered from the people of his fictional country, of course) allows him to bed down American starlets (Megan Fox makes a very good-sport cameo), pursue a nuclear program (the primary target of Baron Cohen's early jousts would seem to be Iran's goofy head of state, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) and drive around in a motorcade of solid-gold Humvees. Soon he's advised by second-in-command (Ben Kingsley) to address the U.N. Once in the States, treachery rears its head, and Aladeen is presumed dead while an even more cretinous double (also Baron Cohen, duh) takes his place. Before Aladeen is waylaid and replaced, he finds plenty in our beloved country to complain about. Ensconced in a luxury hotel, he bitches, "Twenty dollars a day for Internet? What the f---? And they say I'm an international criminal!"
Interestingly, the people behind this scheme to have a dummy Aladeen declare "democracy" have even more nefarious aims in mind for their country than Aladeen once did. This weird gloss on the setup of Chaplin's ancient political parable "The Great Dictator" soon has the rude, crude but powerless Aladeen joining forces with a radical caterer (Anna Faris) and a nuke scientist he'd thought he'd had executed (Jason Mantzoukas).
The deglammed Faris is a target for a lot of Aladeen's incredibly crass and crude putdowns. Indeed, the volume of sophomoric humor here is pretty staggering, particularly considering the picture comes in at barely 90 minutes. But here Baron Cohen balances the stupid, outrageous, over-the-top stuff with almost, ahem, radically provocative observations and pronouncements, and tops the whole thing off with a speech that is a grandstand play in the same mode as the one that ended the aforementioned "Great Dictator," only quite a bit funnier and more unsettling.
A gaggle of great performers keeps things extra-engaging throughout; bathroom humor is always better in the capable hands of Sir Ben, to be sure, and John C. Reilly, Fred Armisen and a host of other luminaries bring their best bits. And while Faris' makeover isn't likely to excite fans of her in "The House Bunny" ("You call those breasts? I thought you were a boy!" Aladeen indignantly exclaims to her during a scooter ride when she asks him to take his hands off the mammaries), her work here is as good as any she's done in a while. We command you to see it!

Most can still remember Lubbock's 100 year flood back in September, but now in February it may be hard to believe that was our last significant rainfall.
"Now we've gone like three and a half months without significant rain so we've entered a severe drought," said Meteorologist Ron McQueen.
A drought Ron McQueen with the National Weather Service says Lubbock hasn't seen in nearly two years. McQueen says it's not unusual for it be dry during the winter months, but now rain is well needed. "We are very concerned with the possibility of having active wildfires anytime over the next couple of months," said McQueen.
Cotton farmers across the South Plains are hoping this drought won't last much longer. "The land preparation has been pretty slow because it's not plowing and not doing very well," said Steve Verett with Plains Cotton Growers.
But the good news for farmers is they don't have to panic just yet. "We don't get worried about having a lot of rain or a lot of moisture until we start getting into late February, March, April period and then it becomes pretty critical," said Verett.
Is rain in the near future? McQueen says yes. "We do have a very good chance for thunderstorms to come through our area late Sunday evening," said McQueen.
But consistency is what counts to pull the South Plains out of this dry spell. "Whatever moisture falls is not going to have a long term impact unless we see several inches of rain," said McQueen.

About two hundred parents packed a Higley Unified School District board room Thursday night to complain about high turnover of teachers and what they believe is poor district leadership.
Parent Michelle Rigby started an online petition Saturday requesting anyone unhappy with Superintendent Joyce Lutrey's performance to sign and demand her immediate resignation. If Lutrey doesn't resign, the petitioners want the Higley school board to let her go. Rigby said the petition had 451 signatures as of Thursday.
Rigby, who has three children in the district, spoke to resounding applause and a standing ovation from the audience, saying the superintendent is misrepresenting the district. She called into question Lutrey's doctorate degree. Lutrey defended her degree, saying she recently completed her doctorate. But Rigby said Lutrey has been using the doctorate title for several years now.
Stacey Christensen, who has four children in the district, asked Lutrey to step down from her position.
"We are asking you to act responsibly and do the right thing and stand aside for the sake of our children and let us as a community move forward from this point and reclaim the trust of our administrators, teachers, staff, parents, and community," she said.
Earlier Tuesday, Lutrey told the Tribune she had heard about the petition, but that she hasn't been able to think about it too much because she has been "swamped" with hiring new principals and teachers.
"Anyone who would like to schedule an appointment with me, I would really welcome that," Lutrey said. "If parents have complaints, I do my best to respond to as many of them as I can, in as timely a manner as I can."
She declined to comment further about the parents' concerns.
During the board meeting, associate superintendent Denise Birdwell said that 80 teachers are leaving the district this school year; 97 left last school year. Six administrators are also leaving the district this school year. She said the district has begun to track information on why staff is leaving.
"We want to give ourselves a brutal look," she said.
Twenty-seven percent left to work in another school district according to an exit survey sent out to former staff.
Another parent, Michelle Dalton, said a superintendent is needed who is "honored, revered, and trusted." She also asked for Lutrey to step aside.
Several other parents spoke out against too many young teachers and unqualified principals being hired.
In the past few months, Assistant Superintendent Lynn Weed and Gateway Pointe Elementary School Principal Pam Nephew announced their departures at the end of the year. Both are going to the Chandler Unified School District.
Higley High School Principal Robert Mileham said in February he also will leave at the end of the school year.
The district created an associate superintendent position for Birdwell at the end of February to keep her in the district. Birdwell, the district's former assistant superintendent of human resources, was offered a superintendent job in Casper, Wyo.

OPEN WALLS Gallery is pleased to present POSITIONS, a group show feat. OX, BR1 and VERMIBUS, running from April 12th through the 24th of May. 3 artists coming from three different geographical positions in Europe, taking three diverse positions with their artworks on surfaces that lay in the public eye and inside the gallery. Three different artists sharing the same aim to challenge the purpose of advertisement, visual pollution and brands in the marketplace.
Integration/Disintegration is the new solo exposition by the artist BR1. Controversial themes follow this artist through his colorful and irreverent series of street actions and posters that are rooted in the visual contradictions of Western and Middle Eastern cultures.
BR1, paper intervention on political advertising.
Torino, january 2013
(Source: br1art.blogspot.it)
BR1 - Public Enemies
BR1's new body of works is centered on sans papier immigrants in Italy and in Europe: those people that run away from africa to escape civil wars & extreme poverty. Sadly, once here their daily round is violence, exploitation and strong human rights restrictions.
This installation is 24m long, each billboard is 3 x 12m.
BR1 Showcase at Platoon Kunsthalle Berlin
OPEN WALLS Gallery proudly presents BR1 showcase at PLATOON KUNSTHALLE (Schönhauser Allee 9, Berlin) on tuesday November 6th from 20:00 onwards. RSVP via Facebook.
BR1 is an Italian artist based in Turin, his works are based and influenced by the city life. For him, art must transmit a social message and bring collective awareness. BR1 is fighting the hegemonic policing of sense imposed by late capitalism by ripping out advertising on billboards or giving a new face to Muslim women. The point is to fight hegemonic ideas and to give back the public space to the public. With his colourful images and comics-to-pop-inspired portrait, BR1 makes the city more liveable and harmonious. Yet, when pasting up a draw on billboard, ripping out bills from the billboards or playing with the message of the bill and modifying the meaning of the adds; BR1 is criticising consumerism. His aim is to give social and cultural functions to billboards which, while lacking of those, are imposed to society.
BR1 started working on the theme of veiled Muslim women, as he became more and more attracted and intrigued by the veil; « why a dress has so strong connotation of religion? This thing attracts me." His first aim is to show that the veiled woman has the same needs and the same nature as any other occidental woman. By portraying veiled woman in the everyday life, BR1 challenges the ideological isolation of the veil. BR1 believes « in a consciousness-raising » and this idea can be seen everyday on the streets that he has been walking by.
Vermibus Poster Stolen in London (Shoreditch)
Vermibus - The Sting from Vermibus on Vimeo.
If you happen to pass by some of Vermibus's posters in London, enjoy it while it last because it's not gonna be long until they disappear. In Shoreditch (East London) it took just a few hours for someone to come with a hammer, smash the glass and steal the art.
Join us with VERMIBUS at MONIKER ART FAIR 2012
Berlin most wanted adbuster VERMIBUS will reveal his new body of work in London this week at MONIKER ART FAIR. This year's event will see trademark 'artist project spaces' fully cultivated to create an experiential showcase of cutting edge contemporary art.
2011 affirmed MONIKER position as London's must see multidisciplinary event within the alternative contemporary art world. With thousands of visitors flocking to the prime East London location, from collectors to art enthusiasts – Moniker affirmed its popularity across the contemporary art spectrum. This year's event will take place from October 11–14, 2012 to once again coincide with London's foremost international art event, Frieze. This week sees the global art community descend on the UK capital and provides Moniker with the perfect launchpad from which to propound a fresh and exciting alternative to its counterparts.
Moniker 2012 will be the boldest and most ambitious undertaking yet. Each individually curated project space will provide an opportunity for artists to showcase work that might otherwise transcend their everyday practice. This compelling facet of Moniker will emphasise the individual capacity of each chosen artist in a setting beyond that of most conventional contemporary art galleries. We hope you enjoy this years event and look forward to meeting you in London this week.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Some of the biggest names in the rock and country music world are heading to the Hub City.
"Today (Thursday), we are delighted to announce that Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and John Mellencamp are gonna perform right here in Jones Stadium," said Randy Sanders, spokesman for Llano Estacado Music.
The company sealed the deal to get the Bob Dylan show in Lubbock. It will be held at Jones AT&T Stadium but, because of the construction projects, the concert will only allow seating for 16,000 people.
"Here's the thing," says Jodey Arrington, Texas Tech Chief of Staff to the Chancellor. "The chancellor's plans are to be more aggressive in getting more entertainment here to Texas Tech and utilizing our great assets like Jones Stadium and United Spirit Arena, and other venues on campus to get more entertainment here."
The concert will be August 8th, sometime in the evening. The exact time has yet to be determined. Tickets go on sale June 13th through Select-A-Seat.

Hidden Cointegration
AbstractPossibly hitherto unnoticed cointegrating relationships among integrated components of data series are identified. If the components are cointegrated, the data are said to have hidden cointegration. The implication of hidden cointegration on modeling data series themselves is discussed through what we call crouching error correction models. We show that hidden cointegration is a simple example of nonlinear cointegration. Economic examples are provided with U.S. short-term and long-term interest rates and output and unemployment, for which no evidence of standard cointegration is found.

Senior US counter-terrorism officials briefed lawmakers Wednesday on the Christmas bomb plot, amid congressional efforts to toughen aviation security in response to the thwarted attack.
Director for National Intelligence Dennis Blair, National Counter-Terrorism Center chief Mike Leiter, and President Barack Obama's top counter-terrorism aide John Brennan held closed-door question and answer sessions at the Capitol.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre Reyes said the briefing to his panel aimed to provide "a complete accounting of the intelligence we had prior to the incident, as well as provide more detail on the failures identified in the president's preliminary report" on the incident.
Reyes said lawmakers and the White House will have to cooperate to bolster US counter-terrorism capabilities and that he backed "imminent" changes that Blair outlined in the briefing.
The briefings came ahead of a wave of hearings by a collection of US congressional committees roughly 10 months before November mid-term elections that will decide control of the Senate and House of Representatives.
US lawmakers have been sharply critical of the failures that allowed a young Nigerian man to get aboard a crowded US-bound airliner, allegedly looking to blow it up with a potent explosive sewn into his underwear.
And they have scrambled to find ways to tighten air travel security, some eight years after Al-Qaeda extremists used hijacked airliners as guided missiles in the September 11, 2001 attacks.
"Technology is only one part of what is going to keep us safe. Additional resources, additional technology, additional cooperation from countries throughout the world and a comprehensive strategy to incorporate all of those would be needed," he added.
And US intelligence will have to "make a concerted commitment to becoming a more flexible, integrated, and proactive organization," said Reyes.
"There is no question to my mind that this was not a technological error this was a human error," said Democratic Representative Bill Pascrell.
"I think it was a information sharing problem and human error in judgement to make the determination not revoke his visa in the first place," said Republican Representative Michael McCaul.
Democratic Representative Nita Lowey signaled she might support the use of controversial full-body scanners, which have drawn criticism from civil liberties and privacy advocates.
"I think we have to do everything possible to keep people safe," she said.
One Response to "Congress grills terror officials on security lapses"
Umar should have never been allowed to board the plane in Holland. Allegedly he tried to board without a passport. A couple on the same flight heard an exchange between Umar and the boarding agent who denied him such. Then they said some "pooba"; ie., a rather large black male, dressed in an elegant fashion came out of nowhere and tried to plead Umar's case, but the female attendant told him to discuss the problem with her manager?
That's the last the couple saw of Umar until they noticed him on the flight.
Something isn't right here as far as I'm concerned. Also a British based CNN commentator said U.S. bound flights must get clearance on all passengers entering the U.S. or the flight will not be allowed to take off. Their identities are reconciled against a terrorist dbase. The procedure was not followed and the rest is history.
Umar boarded this flight regardless of opposition from the boarding agent and was faciliated passage by whomever was running the dbase check?
His success at boarding this plane along with his failed attempt at detonation almost seems like this entire debacle was a "false flag" op facilitated by too much, almost convenient bungling. Also the fact it was December 25th seems overly coincidental for the purpose of holiday linked sensationalism.
Now the U.S. will tighten security even moreso making life miserable for airline travelers. This crap goes on and on until all flights will be nudist flights with passengers required to travel "buck naked", hands on top of their heads, eyes straight ahead for the entire flight. Worse yet they are paying private enterprise; ie., the airlines to suffer this crap known as air travel!?

Would-be bank robber had gun and mask, but what he needed was a watch
MANCHESTER - Police said a masked man tried to rob Citizens Bank on Brown Avenue early Friday morning but failed because the bank had yet to open.
Sgt. Craig Rousseau said the robber entered the vestibule of the bank, located at 2035 Brown Ave., a few minutes before 9 a.m. and found the interior doors locked because the bank , which opens at 9 o'clock, had yet to open.
The robber, who had a red ski mask covering his face, banged on the doors with a black semi-automatic handgun, yelling for employees to open them.
When he figured out they were not going to let him in, he ran out and towards the back of the bank, Rousseau said.
Police are looking for a white man, about 5-foot-9, 190 to 200 pounds. He was wearing the mask, a dark jacket and yellow gloves. He also had a backpack with a white stripe on it.
Anyone with information about the attempted robbery is asked to call police at 668-8711 or, to remain anonymous, Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040.

Loving Right Now: Liberté Yogurt
It's time for Greek yogurt to stop hogging all the attention. This yogurt from Montreal is our new favorite for breakfast. It's outrageously delicious, and we could eat four or five containers at a time, but we won't, because...
Each container of the regular version has 240 calories and 14 grams of fat. Sweet live cultures, that's a lot for six ounces of yogurt.
However. This is genuine, healthy stuff that fills us up, and we're not on the low-fat-is-better bandwagon anyway. Plus, it is so, so good.
We take issue with some of the Greek-style yogurts out there. Often they're simply too thick and pasty—great for using in another recipe (like tzatziki or even popsicles) but a little much by the spoonful.
Liberté is silky, practically fluffy, once you stir it up. We love the kind with the fruit on the bottom (especially the blackberry), which has a texture that's almost like an airy mousse but more fluid. See, it's hard to describe. But where regular yogurt is wet and drippy and Greek yogurt is dense and sticky, this stuff is thick but pillowy and soft.
We couldn't even pause long enough to take a picture of the actual yogurt. Too good!
Who else is a fan of Liberté? We found ours at Whole Foods, but let us know where else it's available.

I'm from Montreal, so it is really nice to see this on AT!
The coffee flavor is my favorite, it is sooooooo good
I had a carton of the plum and it was the most amazing yogurt I'd ever tasted!
That sounds like my all time perfect yogurt. Right down to those 14 grams of fat! Yum! Will be checking out my WF's dairy section next time I'm there.
I love this yogurt! I had to stop getting it though, kinda pricey for me. It is, however, enough calories to be most of a meal, so it's a good once a week lunch treat.
I could eat a container of Liberte a day, it's so good! I love the lemon flavour on top of fresh fruit (white peaches, watermelon & blueberry is my favorite combo).
The lemon and the black cherry are just about my favourite things to eat! I live in Toronto so we can get it pretty much everywhere here.
This is my favourite yogurt as well, some like the dulce de leche are good enough for dessert! I also love the blackberry, and have been using the plain for things like tzatziki for a while now. They also make delicious kefir. Here in the better supermarkets in Victoria, we get the whole Liberte range.
I love the walnut-plum - it's the best yogurt I've ever had. I get it at Whole Foods and our local co-op.
Don't be dissin' my greek yogurt :)
I am from Montreal too and I have to say this yogurt is incredible...even the plain fat free kind can be eaten with a spoon with no additive!!!! Try the fat free plain yogurt with fresh Quebec Strawberries and you will be sold.
Liberté's Mediterranean style yogurt is the ABSOLUTE BEST yogurt on the planet. My personal fave is the lemon.
I am eating the peach and passion fruit flavor as I type! Amazing stuff. If you use Fresh Direct in NYC, they have at least 4 flavors. Random corner stores in Brooklyn have them too, yay!
This is the best stuff ever. It's like mousse. Get the lemon flavor - it's better than lemon meringue pie!!
- Amelia of Gradually Greener
I also like the low-fat version of Liberté. Unlike most lower-fat products, it's sweetened with fruit juice (and not aspartame -- yuck). It's got 160 calories per serving.
I get mine at the local grocery store -- Gourmet Garage or Citarella. It's cheaper than the other imported yogurts too.
i am from Montreal also and have never tried it. I am off to the grocery store to pick some up!
I heart Liberte Six Grains yogurt in all flavors, but pear is my top choice. I love that the yogurt contains organic grains (rice, oats, buckwheat, etc.) and no added sugar (sweetened with fruit juice). Alas, my local WF discontinued stocking it and my local co-op has never carried it. Boo!
I guess I'll have to travel to Montreal to obtain this 6 oz container of deliciousness. Darn! :)
I discovered this yogurt last year and adore it. It is one of my favourite "alternative" desserts topped with President's Choice chocolate granola...yummy!
Slate just did a review of yogurts and gave this stuff middling marks: http://www.slate.com/id/2231191/
This is our favorite yogurt! I prefer the six grains (esp. pear) but my bf loves the walnut-plum, which is too rich for my taste. I love that it's just sweetened with fruit juice...normal yogurt is too sweet for me now.
I LOVE the vanilla goats milk yogurt by Liberte! Absolutely addicting.
Another vote! I love this brand of yogurt. The lemon flavor is my favorite, but I also really like the coconut.
I live behind one of their production plants and their noise drives me crazy! I've tried their yogurt before but it never really left much of a mark on me. I guess I'll have to try it again.
Completely agree. I love that yogurt, but have not seen it at WF in SF. After a tasting all brands at my local grocer, The Greek Gods (honey flavor) comes closest.
This is one of my favorite snacks of all time; it's just fantastic! The plum walnut and blackberry are what I keep going back to. It's such an indulgence.
another vote for the amazing, amazing walnut-plum. <3
This stuff is so good, I could eat it without the stuff on the bottom. In fact, I wish I could find it in plain, because a lot of those calories have got to come from the fruit syrup! My favorite, however, is the blackberry.
Best yogurt ever. Try the coconut flavor. It is amazing.
Where do you guys get the lemon one? I've never seen it at my regular grocery stores.
Another Canadian here, this stuff is amazing, Mocha and Dulce de leche are awesome, great for kids (mine need extra calories) with the high milk fat, and so easy to freeze into frozen yogurt.
I LOVE Liberte yogurt and especially the mediterranee but that will go straight to your a**! Their other yogurts are also better than others being creamy without the tart/sour taste that is prominent in other low cal yogurts.
They used to make some with organic maple syrup, but I guess the syrup has become too pricey. But adding my own to natural Liberté is just as good!
Just out of curiosity, were you paid by the company to promote Liberte Yogurt? If not, you should be for your ringing endorsement.
Iona: No, we are never paid for any endorsements at the Kitchn. I just discovered Liberte (where have I been?) and wanted to pass on a new favorite find...
We have it here in Vermont. Love, love, love it. It was a sad/happy day when they stopped making the slightly bigger containers of the stuff mainly b/c it was still possible to eat the entire container in one sitting. Favorite flavors in our house are blackberry, passion fruit, strawberry and the coffee.
This is my all time favourite yogurt (especially the mocha - it's difficult to not eat the whole container in one sitting). I'm Canadian and I never knew Liberte was too!
I love Liberte yogurt, especially the lemon flavour and the applie pie one -- it's amazing and so addictive.
We tend to buy Brown Cow, though, because the boy loves the cream top, and I'm a fan of the maple flavour. It goes really well with cobblers and as a topping for pancakes.
This stuff is amazing, I love having the lemon one with a few crushed Graham crackers as dessert.
The coconut is 270 calories actually. But it's so good I'd serve it for dessert at a dinner party.
The world's best dessert yogurt!
Glad to see that you're promoting a product from my part of the world! For me, Liberté yogourt has always been a special treat, only bought when it was on sale. I've been trying to find the perfect coffee flavor (Astro's Balkan coffee is my best) but the caffe latte flavor of Liberté comes in second place.
I couldn't find them anywhere for the longest time in Southern California, but now I see them semi-frequently at certain Whole Foods (Rose/Lincoln), Gelson's, and Bristol Farms (at remarkably good prices too). I love the tanginess of the goat cheese yogurts, the plum walnut, and my new favorite - peach passionfruit! Now i just need to figure out where to find them in the Bay Area.
All time favorite yogurt, fig & walnuts ~ the best. I find it at Mcginnis Sisters in Pa.
I looove Liberte yogurt for it's yummy milky taste. It definitely is an indulgence compared to the nutritional wonders of greek yogurts (fage? chobani? yum!). I have yet to try the mediterranee, but I will soon! I love the grain yogurt for the added texture of the chewy grains (eating yogurt for whole grains is silly). And their goat yogurt (or, "goat fresh cheese") captures goat milk perfection.
I agree with all the above comments about the quality of this yogurt when it was made in Canada. Completely awesome yogurt.
Now it has been sold to General Mills for USA distribution and is complete crap. Stay away from this corporate product. It is NOT the same as the original Montreal yogurt. If you can get the real deal from Canada, then go for it. If not, skip the USA version. Not worth the plastic used for the container.

i know very little about medications for bipolar and have never been treated for it. I was just given a prescription for lamotrigine but had concerns about whether it would help alleviate any of my anxiety and panic. I'm not entirely sure if its being caused by my daily cycling OR a seperate issue. I've been treated in the past with a medication (paroxetine) that solely helped with panic and anxiety (which all but went away) but had manic times and went thru 2 depressive episodes on it (and other issues). I'm hoping this will work for me without the need of another medication but Im reading that it may not do much for the anxiety.... which can take front stage above all other issues due to how socially debilitating it is (I can function better depressed than when panicked or super anxious - okay... both are bad of course). I've been off medication for over a year now and have been going out of my mind - finally broke down and went to a psychiatrist and this was the medication she thought best to start on.
Any advice would be great - I just joined this forum hoping to connect with some people in similar situations as me.

How Many Parenting Books Do You Own?
Reader Survey
This is my bookshelf. Correction, this is a bookshelf in my house, tucked away in a guest bedroom so the nerdy and slightly over-analytical way my wife and I approach parenting is not on display for everyday visitors to see. When you combine an overzealous tendency to gather information, a mild thrift store addiction and nine months to obsess about your first child, this is what happens.
Now that our daughter is almost sixteen months old and we are pretty much parenting experts, these books go mostly unread. But it definitely made for an interesting crash course at the time.

20 Comments
I have 3 or 4 handed down to me from a friend when I was pregnant. If not for that, I wouldn't have bought any. Hate to say it, but there's yet to be anything "new mom" that I couldn't instantly google and get an answer easier than flipping through a book.
Oh look! I'm not the only one who does that.
My vote would be "too embarrassed to count," but for some reason I can't answer the survey even though I'm logged in.
And if you saw my library check-out history, it would only be worse.
we received a zillion (ok, 5 or 6) parenting books before we had our first baby. i fell in love with the baby whisperer and got rid of the rest. all the others made me feel like a failure and my husband banned them.
There's no reason to be embarrassed--there are lots of valuable resources out there, even if a lot of parenting books are filled with fluff! Think about it: how many books do you own on how to handle your plumbing, your finances, your garden, your trip to the Grand Canyon, or whatever? If I don't feel any shame in checking out a resource for ideas about how to plant tomatoes in self-watering containers, why should I be embarrassed to get advice about how to raise my child?! Plus, you have one of my favorites: The New Father series, which I found to be much more scientific and thoughtful than a lot of other parenting guides.
I have What to Expect In the First yr. (had when ur expecting but gave it to my sil) and Another that helpeds me through the first Five years. I also picked up an old guide line book that was my grandmothers. Were really into the good old days and old ways of raising kids with character, values, morals, and earing what you get. Its harder to find a book today that builds a good person. I would like our kids to have values that were lost since our grandparents age :/
I have bought and have been given a MILLION parenting books in the last three years. I only keep the ones that resonate with me and truthfully, some of them never make to my nightstand since I know they don't jive with my parenting philosophy. For that reason, I probably only have 2 or 3 I've kept--most I have just read, taken any nugget and passed on to the local library.
I have about six worth keeping. The rest were either worthless and went to the library book drop or were so harmful I put them into a landfil.
The five worth keeping:
Pregnancy Book, Sears
Baby Book, Sears
No Cry Sleep Solution, Pantley
Diaper Free Before Three, Lekovic
Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, La Leche League
Playful Parenting, Cohen
And on CD which is more useful than the book, Happiest Baby on the Block
Jackied302: check out "The Blessings of a Skinned Knee," by Wendy Mogul. She uses Talmudic teachings to reflect on child-rearing, but I think her ideas apply to non-Jewish families just as well.
Another good one that isn't explicitly a parenting book, but is very enjoyable to read, is "A Quaker Book of Wisdom: Life Lessons in Simplicity, Service, and Common Sense," by Robert Lawrence Smith.
Both of these ostensibly "religious" works have a lot of appeal for secular parents who are interested in their children's moral development.
I have two, and one is more pregnancy geared haha. I've met a community of moms who all had our babies around the same time and they're my resource for the most part!
We had the "What to Expect" series for quick checks, but beyond that, the only one I've read worth the cost of the paper to print it was "Simplicity Parenting." I highly recommend it.
I voted "too embarassed to count" just because I have more than the 6-10, but I'm not embarassed at all. I grew up in a very dysfunctional environment and I was determined to learn how to parent in a different way than the way I was raised. I took parenting classes, I read books, and I joined "mommy groups" to talk to other people who can understand my stage in parenthood.
My kids aren't babies anymore (ages 6 and 3) but I keep the books along with pregnancy related books because I'm a birth doula and childbirth educator. I offer a small lending library to my clients in an attempt to save them some money on books that will just collect dust after the baby comes. If they LOVE a book, they usually go buy it, if they don't love it, there's nothing lost.
We own one now (the Baby Whisperer) and have given several away that are highly recommended:
Happiest Baby on the Block (great dvd too)
Womanly Art of Breastfeeding
What to Expect (the first & second year)
Otherwise we've gotten tons from the library and are thankful for that resource.
gosh, I have probably read close to 30. I've given away all my birthing/baby/breastfeeding ones by now and have moved on to the child psych ones. I love all the great ones by Faber and Mazlish. Also Ames and Ilg for general development stuff, and to read and say "oh good, that *is* normal". I re-read a lot of them (the Mary Kurcinka books, Dr. Haim Ginott), plus from time to time I'll throw in a humorous one to cheer me up, like "I was a really good mom before I had kids".
I am the kind of person who always turns to books to figure out how to do things so I buy and read a lot of parenting books. A friend once made me feel a bit insecure about it, saying that she just relies upon instinct. I talked it over with a friend who is a therapist and she reassured me that what people call a parenting instinct is just replicating what one's parents did. So, if you like how your parents raised you, that's fine. If you don't, turning to books isn't such a bad idea. She also told me that one of the largest causes abusive behavior towards children is expecting them to act in a way that is not developmentally appropriate and that learning about child development can help prevent this.
My parents were quite abusive and neglectful so the last thing I want to do is parent like them. So I'm turning to books to learn about child development and to help me explore how I want to approach raising my kids. Favorites include:
Playful Parenting
Unconditional Parenting
The Emotional Life of the Toddler
Simplicity Parenting
Positive Discipline
Our Babies, Our Selves
Brain Rules for Baby
Child of Mine
I also love the website ahaparenting.com, which really resonates with my approach to parenting.
Most of yours shown and the ones being discussed here in the comments are very baby-oriented, but I've found that I'm turning to books more and more as my kids get older and the issues get less "medical/survival-related" and more complicated/emotional/relationship-oriented. Right now I'm reading Simplicity Parenting and How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk.
A neighbor gave me about a half-dozen pregnancy books but the most useful one was the one I checked out of the library and renewed a gazillion times. As for parenting books, we had Baby 411 that was well-used the first year. He's now almost 2.5 and apparently, we're just going to wing it the rest of the way since I've not bothered to read any others. We will be the first to admit that our son has been a pretty easy baby/toddler who makes us look like we know what we're doing. (There are a couple of books that I've got my eye and will probably read at some point--The No-Cry Discipline Solution and another title that escapes me).
SPLITTY - .I will defiantly check it out. Thanks again!
I'm one of those who voted "none". It's not entirely true: I bought the classic "Bringing up your child" by Laurence Pernoud, the one everyone owns here in France. I never opened it and have just given it away because it was collecting dust.
I guess education isn't much of a reading subject for me. I'm improvising as we go, using common sense, love and what I remember about being a child. Plus, being a stay-at-home mom 12 hours a day, I can spend my evenings and very few free times on something else, like crafts or reading fiction, which makes me appreciate the time I spend with my kids more. I'm nowhere near perfection, but I'm happy that way, and I hope that my kids are too. They only have to be kids, I'm here to play, listen and explain why there are some things they can't do (and repair and wash after accidents). If I make a mistake I can explain to my son, I do and try to repair it; if I can't, I make sure not to repeat it.
I don't have that many, but I can see most of the ones I do have on that bookshelf! And JUDIAU I will have to agree!!!

The Magnificence of Terri Jane
September 5th, 2011
Terri Jane is absolutely the girl-next-door. Very much like Ashley Sage Ellison, Kerry Marie and Chaz in so many ways. A girl-next-door with gigantic tits everyone loves and worships. Say your prayers and give thanks that she decided to show them. Most girls don't. "I live in England. I live by Birmingham in a small town that is about 20 minutes away from Birmingham. I live with my family and my dog." Do men get fresh with Terri a lot? "I get guys who come up to me all the time and say things like, 'Take your boobs out.' They are not scared. I have had girls come up to me in the bathroom, asking me if they are real or if they are fake. Girls come up to me all the time, feeling my boobs. I can't stop them! They just walk up to me and grab them!" So girls too? What does a bloke do when he sees Terri's marvels? "First they ask me to get them out and then they want me to bounce them up and down. Then they like me to get on top of them and drop my breasts on their face and jiggle them around a bit. Men like jiggling and bouncing boobs." Like is not the word! And we love Terri Jane. A girl for all seasons and all reasons.

The Constellations
This is what Atlanta sounds like, if you put all of our city's musical ingredients into a big funky blender. It's soulful, trippy, hook-filled and, as the band's debut album puts it, "Southern Gothic." Not only does it sound like Atlanta, the album takes listeners on a vicarious tour of the city's after-hours night life.
8 p.m. Dec. 31. $25. Smith's Olde Bar, 1578 Piedmont Road, Atlanta. 404-875-1522.
Billy Joe Royal
This Valdosta-born, Marietta-raised vocalist scored a Top 10 hit back in 1965 with "Down in the Boondocks," a tune written by another Atlantan, Joe South. He also had three more Top 40 entries during the '60s, two of those also penned by South. Back in 2007, he played a benefit to help restore and re-open the Strand Theatre in Marietta, a venue where he played in his early years. Now he's retiring from the road with a final gig at the venerable venue. "It's going to be kind of emotional," Royal said in a recent Atlanta Journal-Constitution interview. "But I figured, I started here, I'll end here."
8 p.m. Dec. 31. $35. Earl Smith Strand Theatre, 117 N. Park Square N.E., Marietta. 770-293-0080.
Charlie Wilson, Chrisette Michele
The former Gap Band vocalist helped ring in 2010 with a show on Jan. 1 and now he'll help see it out with a New Year's Eve gig at the same venue. His third solo album, "Just Charlie," was released Dec. 7. The third album from sultry Grammy-winning R&B vocalist Michele, titled "Let Freedom Reign," hit stores a week before Wilson's.
9 p.m. Dec. 31. $73.45-$106.50. Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center, 395 Piedmont Ave., Atlanta. 404-523-6275.
Jake Owen
In 2009, Florida native Owen hit No. 2 on the country chart with "Don't Think I Can't Love You" from his second album, "Easy Does It." It's still his biggest hit, but the follow-up single, "Eight Second Ride," climbed to No. 11 and the title track from his first album, "Startin' With Me" peaked at No. 6.
9:30 p.m. Dec. 31. $20-$125. Wild Bill's, 2075 Market St., Duluth. 678-473-1000.
Noot d' Noot, Gentleman Jesse and His Men, Gringo Star
Noot d' Noot blends psychedelia and R&B as if they were natural bedfellows, and frankly, they are (just ask Funkadelic). Think a touch of OutKast and the New York-based mutant disco of the turn of the '80s melded with modern indie rock.
Fronted by Carbonas bassist Jesse Smith, Gentleman Jesse & His Men got a lot of notice from "I Don't Wanna Know," a blazing track that spliced together jangly '70s power pop and the melodic punk of the Buzzcocks. It was a couple of the finest minutes of music released by Atlantans in 2007. The band finally got around to releasing a debut album in fall 2008, and "Introducing Gentleman Jesse" was worth the wait, delivering on the promise of that stunning single. Here's hoping we'll get a follow-up in the near future, but don't go holding your breath. Gringo Star's sprightly, kaleidoscopic garage rock, a hooky update of '60s mod pop, deserves to be heard by a wider audience. Perhaps the new album the quartet recently recorded will make that happen.
9 p.m. Dec. 31. $12; $10 in advance. Also, 9 p.m. Jan. 1. $5. The EARL, 488 Flat Shoals Ave., Atlanta. 404-522-3950.
Angie Aparo
Aparo was a solo recording artist for 10 years before Faith Hill recorded his song "Cry" in 2002, making him an in-demand songwriter. He's still a touring and recording artist, but he continues to work with others. He was among those appearing at the Zac Brown Band's October 2009 benefit for the Georgia Theatre, which took place at the Fox Theatre and was released earlier this year as "Pass the Jar: Zac Brown Band and Friends Live from the Fabulous Fox Theatre In Atlanta."
7 p.m. Jan. 1. $15; $12 in advance. Smith's Olde Bar, 1578 Piedmont Road, Atlanta. 404-875-1522.
Maze featuring Frankie Beverly
The late Teena Marie, who died Dec. 26 at 54, was supposed to join this R&B combo, a perennial favorite in Atlanta, for this New Year's Day celebration. Instead, Beverly and his band will be joined by Johnny Gill and Stephanie Mills in a tribute to the life and music of the woman known as Lady T and the Ivory Queen of Soul.
8:30 p.m. Jan. 1. $80-$110. Fox Theatre, 660 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 404-881-2100.
December 29th, 2010

Umm, how can you not put the biggest event in the city that night at Philips Arena?
