Drunk ENough To Dance1 Reviews
"What up? What up?" Paul asked mocking me from earlier.
"Dude you sound like Chuck," Billy laughed.
"What about me?" Chuck asked out of nowhere. He must have been walking by or something, but he stayed and stuck himself between Paul and me leaning on the bar.
"Nothing, Paul is just copying me from earlier," I explained, "I didn't realize that it was something you did also."
"So why aren't you dancing like you usualy do?" Chuck asked, god he only knew me a few days and he knows me this well? Well he did hear a lot of stories about our little parties.
"I'm looking for Tiff...have any of you seen her?" I asked glancing around still.
"Nope!" Both Billy and Paul chimed together. I looked up at Chuck wanting an answer, he just glanced around.
"No I don't see her," Chuck sighed looking back at me, "Pierre likes her, don't tell anyone I said that....even you Paul!" Paul just attempted to look innocent. I laughed and walked off to look in other areas or at least sit outside. I scanned the dance floor from different angles, no Tiffany. I stepped outside for a breath of fresh air and watched all sorts of people go into the club. I sat on the curb watching all the cars flash by, to my surprise there were a lot of cars out this late at night. I glanced behind me again and still no Tiffany, she said she would come early but so did everyone else. Even that bitchy friend of Benji's decided to come early, she was the first besides me and the guys, then she got really dissapointed on three accounts. One, I was there, two, I was there before her, and three, Benji was carrying me around. Too bad for her though, I was there first. I pulled my legs up to my chest hugging them, it was really cold out tonight.
"Your gonna catch a cold stupid," Tiffany laughed poking my back. I jumped up and turned around to see her and two other girls.
"Don't call me stupid, stupid!" I said with a southern accent. Tiffany laughed and pulled the two girls by the arms up to her side.
"One, that was insulting to where I come from, and two this is Alex and Ashley."
"Nice to meet you," Ashley smiled holding out her hand, I graciously took it then Alex's. We all headed back inside and sat back down at the bar.
~A few hours later~
Benji had told me to hold off on liquor for now, or at least until he said I could have it. Doesn't matter I have five more hours to get wasted, although that's not really a good thing. The music died down and the microphone was approched, I looked up to see....Benji?
"Settle down," Benji resisted laughing, "We have a special treat for you guys tonight, come up here Anna." My heart stopped imediatly, no way did he do this. I slowly stood up and stumbled to the stage taking a place right next to Benji. "Alright something that everyone here knows, except Anna, is that tonight is auditions for Tiffany's band which is called Haine, and Anna...I took the liberty to have you audition first, I even picked a song for you."
"You what?!" I screamed without the microphone, "What song?"
"Because Of You by Kelly Clarkson." He smiled and shoved the mic in my hands and ran over to a stereo putting in an instumental version of the song. I took deep breaths and listened to the piano intro.
"I will not make the same mistakes that you did// I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery// I will not break, the way you did, you fell so hard// I've learned the hard way to never let it get that far// Because of you I never strayed to far from the sidewalk// Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt// Because of you I find it hard// to find it hard to trust, not only me,// but everyone around me,// Because of you, I am afraid I lose my way,// and its not too long before you point it out// I cannot cry, because I know that's weakness in your eyes /I'm forced to fake a smile,/ a laugh, every day of my life// My heart can't possibly break, when it wasn't even whole to start with// I watched you die, I heard you cry, every night in your sleep.// I was so young, you should have known better than to lean on me.// You never thought of anyone else you just saw your pain.// And now I cry in the middle of the night, doin the same damn thing / Because of you I never strayed to far from the sidewalk/ Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt// Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything// Because of you I don't know how to let anyone else in// Because of you I'm ashamed of my life, because its empty /Because of you, I am afraid/ Because of you...// Because of you..." I looked back up after my singing...to my surprise I was being cheered for, well not by everyone one, the bitchy girl and her friends were giving me 'the look'.
"That was awesome!" Benji cheered taking the mic back and I scooted back to the bar, "Anna...now you can have alcohol." I laughed and ordered a beer then looked over at Tiffany who was smiling back at me, as well as Alex and Ashley.
"That was good," Alex smiled at me, "I mean really good!"
"Why thank you!" We smiled and she grabbed my beer that was placed in front of me then took a sip, setting it back down afterwards. I started to drink and watch the other auditions, one beer later Now it was that bitchy girl who's name I just found out, Cristina. She started to sing Avril Lavigne 'Losing Grip' I didn't even like Avril and I knew all of her songs, notes, and dynamics, Christina wasn't right. I studied music for 6 years, do you think I won't know this? I sighed and snuck backstage, followed by Alex.
"What are you doing?" Alex whispered.
"Something that will put attention onto me," I smirked and plugged in a second microphone, keeping it off for now. Alex started to quietly snicker and placed her hand on Christina's plug getting ready for my sign to pull it. I strutted to the side of the stage, seen by everyone except Christina. My smile was getting bigger, I could tell. I waited for her verse...okay I'm a little buzzed and I wouldn't do this normally, but who cares when your getting drunk right? I looked over at Alex and smiled couting down on my fingers. Alex pulled the plug and my mic was on.
"Am I just some chick you place beside you to take somebody's place
when you turn around can you recognize my face you used to love me,
you used to hug me
But that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't ok I was left to cry there
waiting outside there grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided
Crying out loud I'm crying out loud
Crying out loud I'm crying out loud
Open your eyes
Open up wide
Why should I care
Cuz you weren't there
when I was scared I was so alone Why should I care
Cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care then I don't care were not going newhere
Why should I care cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
Why should I care If you don't care then i don't care were not going newhere." Christina looked back at me halfway through, I finished the song and looked at her with a smartass grin. She beared her teeth and dropped her mic jumping me. My mic fell to the ground and I started to defend myself, she was slapping me, and I was punching her back. I'm never gonna girl fight, screw that. Two tattoed arms came inbetween us and pulled Christina away holding onto her.
"I bet you like that don't you bitch!" I screamed at her, of course she does, shes in Benji's arms. Wait....am I jealous? Is that why I did that? I rolled my eyes and stormed backstage with Alex, and we went back to the bar.
"What was that about?" Seb asked me when I was back at the bar. Where were TIffany and Ashley?
"I'll sit with you," Alex smiled sitting on the seat next to me. I nodded and ordered another beer.
"Are you gonna answer me?" Seb asked, I continued to ignore him and he ran his hand through his hair and looked back at me, "Anna?"
"Look, dude, she doesn't want to talk to you! Shut the fuck up!" Alex defended me. I glanced at her, flashing a small smile. She slighty smiled back, and ordered herself a pina colada. Seb walked off defeated. I gupled down my ice cold beer asking for shots and looked over at Alex. "I'm game."
"Good, I could use them, extra whiskey, I really need to get drunk," I sighed.
"Well after that I would want to too...especially if I liked the guy." I looked at her, and she shrugged, "I can tell, it was the same things I did, without the singing, I just cut off her mic and put the words on the CD making it look like she was lip syncing."
"What happened?" I asked as our shots arrived, about thirty shots were on the tray.
"Well, he saw me and got pissed, then went off to her in pity...months later he came back to me."
"Well thats good right?" I drank one shot and still looked at her.
"No, he ended up using me, just to get dirt and embarrass me in public." Alex took a shot and drank it.
"I had this nasty cut on my arm, and I made it myself...he took pictures of it while I was sleeping and put them all over my college, dropped out three days later and moved six hours away...here where I started a band and everything was better." I drank a shot and so did Alex. A while later I was feeling it, and decided to get the strongest beer here. I recieved my drink and toasted with Alex who got the same.
"See ya on the other side," I smiled at her.
"Same." We started to gulp down the beer and I was wasted, serously. About two hours later I was hanging backstage with Alex who only had a little buzz, that girl is like immune.
"I love Benji, I hate Christina," I cried thinking about earlier.
"He'll get over her," Alex told me.
"How would you know!" I screamed, Alex jumped back, "I have to do something romantic and surprising." I flipped the microphone on and stumbled onto the stage getting everyone's attention. "Ladies and drunks, I have a very, very...very important announcement...Tiffany-"
"Anna, get down!" Tiffany strictly whispered loud enough for me to hear. I shook my head.
"Tiffany loves Pierre, and Pierre loves her...now see how well things work when your pretty!" I sobed, "No one loves poor Anna, she's poor, smells bad, stupid, alone, fat, and very ugly! But Anna, who is me by the way...Anna loves Benjamin Madden, I'm head over heels for him...but he doesn't notice that, because he's too busy fucking blonde bimbos!!! Well guess what Madden, your sooo over! Like I want a faggot boyfriend who can't even be nice to me, and you not even my boyfriend...Shut Up Tiffany, you such a bitch sometimes! You know that you have bad parents stop bragging at least you have parents! Or at least you know who they are!" I dropped the mic, jumped off stage and stormed over to the bar, ordering another beer. I snatched it from the bartender and stormed outside of the club sitting on the curb drinking sip by sip.
"Anna..." Benji quietly whispered, "Anna did you mean that?"
"Did you come to ruin my god damn life?! Don't you think you've screwed it up enough?" I cried still clutching my beer and standing up, looking him in the eye.
"What the hell did I do?"
"Exsist Benj, you exsisted that's what! Before I met you, before I moved in with you, before you saved my life it was perfect. I wanted to die, screw my dreams of finally being reconized, and having a family with my soulmate, and having a bunch of children, I should've died. I shouldn't be here right now, I should be with my grandma and grandpa, and my ex-boyfriend who loved me more then life itself, I was supposed to join him a week after he died, but I didn't then I should've finally come a year after that, but I didn't! And it's all your fault!" I screamed as Tiffany, Ashley, and Alex came out.
"Anna..." Benji attempted to hug me, I pushed him away and took another quick sip of my beer.
"Don't fucking touch me! I shouldn't love you, cause you sure as hell don't love me, you love that fag Christina who loves Avril Lavigne...but she fucking sucks at singing."
"Anna, let's go home," Tiffany inturupted, "you can talk to Benji tomorrow, but let's get you in bed."
"Fine...." I quietly replied, "I'm ready to go." Tiffany grabbed my hand and Ashley opened her car door for me and Tiff, then Alex got in the front, with Ashley driving. "Why doesn't he love me?" I cried as we drove away, "I did everything to be noticed by him."
"He notices you, don't worry, I'm sure he likes you," Tiff smiled at me. I smiled back.
~Back at Anna, Joel, and Benji's house~
"What are you guys doing here?" Joel asked opening the door.
"Thank god your home!" Ashley chimed fixing my arm that was resting on her shoulder.
"She's having problem's walking," Tiff told Joel. He nodded and picked me up bridal style and carried me to my room.
"See you downstairs," Alex told Tiff. Tiff sat on my bed and looked at me as I looked for pajamas.
"Can I get some help?" I asked as I used Joel to get to my bed. Tiff nodded and grabbed my black yoga pants and a tight black tank top. Joel left and I used Tiff to keep me up, then I laid in bed.
"Need anything?" Tiff asked looking down at me.
"No I don't think so, but will you be here in the morning?"
"How about I get Billy over here to keep you company?"
"Yeah, that would be great, can you call him now?" Tiff nodded and picked up her cell dialing nubers.
"Billy?...Do you mind staying with Anna the drunk tonight?....okay....three minutes...yeah I'll watch her that long...two hours....okay, bye." Tiff hung up, "Billy will be here in three minutes, and Benji won't get home for another two hours, he has to stay with the party and wrap it up."
"Will you be here until Billy gets here?"
"Yeah of course."
"Tiff?" She looked at me, "Did he ask you out?"
"Who? Pierre?"
"Yeah silly."
"Umm, yeah he did, but I told him I had to think about it."
"Friends come first and you didn't seem to happy about us liking each other."
"Did you tell him that?" I sat up on my elbow and scanned Tiffany's face.
"Yeah, he said he would've done the same."
"Say yes, or else I will tell him that you say yes....wheather you like it or not."
"Well you already told the whole party that we like each other...that embarrassed both of us ya know."
"So..." Billy walked in the door with a set of extra clothes.
"I'm gonna go, see ya Anna." I waved and laid back down looking at the ceiling. "Watch her real closely."
"I heard that!" I smirked. Tiff left, and Billy stripped to his boxers getting in bed next to me.
"Hey Anna, are you okay?" Billy asked. I nodded closing my eyes and falling asleep.

Not solved yet: GOP wants more cliff spending cuts
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Emergency legislation to avoid the economy-threatening fiscal cliff ran into vehement New Year's Day opposition from House Republicans, casting doubt on the divided government's ability to prevent widespread tax increases and painful, across-the-board federal spending cuts.

Two Energy Department labs hit with a cyberattack over the July 4 weekend are recovering.
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News, Va., is back online and in the process of restoring its website as officials investigate the attack.
"We have a partial website up" at www.jlab.org, said public affairs manager Dean Golembeski. "We are still in the process of evaluating what happened."
The Jefferson Lab, came under attack July 1, along with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington state. PNNL shut down all network access July 1 but began restoring internal communications over the weekend. External e-mail at PNNL was restored on the afternoon of July 6, but the lab's website remained off-line as of today.

Cyberattacks take two Energy labs offline
Battelle Memorial Institute of Columbus, Ohio, which manages PNNL and several other DOE facilities, also came under attack July 1 and shut down e-mail and outside access over the weekend. Those services were restored July 5, a spokesperson said.
Golembeski said the Jefferson Lab did not lose e-mail access and its website was available sporadically over the weekend. The lab was in the process of redesigning the site before the interruption, and redesigned elements are being put online to let teams focus first on the parts used by outside scientists who conduct research at the facility.
The lab does not perform classified work or hold any classified information, Golembeski said. Its accelerator provides research facilities for about 1,300 scientists worldwide who are doing basic research in nuclear physics.
No details about the nature of the attack have been released. Golembeski said it has been characterized only as a cyberattack by an unidentified party.
The incident came a little more than two months after a spear-phishing attack introduced malicious code into the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's network in April, which shut down the lab's Internet access for more than a week.

As I said in my second (corrected) email, all of the Battelle labs, have a trust relationship. If a couple have been hit, then more are to come. If I had to guess, this trojan or whatever it might be, likely has an activation date/time and it will hit them at various times. Just my 2 cents.

Is having T-bar Rows and Bent Over Barbell Rows together in the same back workout pointless?
Is having T-bar Rows and Bent Over Barbell Rows together in the same back workout pointless?
"They will spend their nights dreaming of six-pack
abs and a rock hard physique, little do they realize eventually we will reach
our goal and they will be dreaming of the body we walk around with every
day only then will they understand." -- Severed Ties
"There are 6 billion people in this world, and I'm #1." -- me
I would say yes...
Maybe you could use an nuderhand grip for one and a overhand for the other but its still 2 rowing movements I think one is sufficient..
I agree with Hulk, my back routine consists of 1 rowing movement, 1 chinning movement and deadlifts. After them my back is worked to the max!
why would you want them both in the same workout? Seems a little overkill to me
half the time I have no idea what you're talking about. the other half, I'm not listening.
I do em both, back to back, barbell overhanded, t-bar palms facing.
May you be in heaven an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
Most people will tell you that it is overkill.
If you were normally going to do 3 work sets of T-bar rows but instead you did 2 + 1 set of barbell rows, there would be nothing wrong BUT...
The name of the game is progression, and mixing exercizes makes progression difficult to measure.tuttut
Good luck
i would just do one or another, if you dead and do pull ups as well, you definetly do not need both.
my gym has a tremendous biangular row machine that does a combination of the two. You can really load up the weight and it is a very natural motion.
I would use one for one work out and the other for next weeks session.
Just to keep your interest going.

"Test all things; hold fast what is good.": 1 Thessalonians 5:21
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

I would pick one and hit it hard. Like Mac said, you could alternate their use if you would like to use both.
But, if you look at Dorian, he used many exercises for his back in one session. He did, however, use only 1 set to failure of each. Skip Lacour does a similar back workout.
I am actually going to split my back workout in two. Workout 1 will be deads, shrugs and grip. Workout 2 will be chins, a row and biceps/forearms.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - There have been several hotel announcements recently in the Grand Strand, some where construction is underway, while others still stand as empty lots.
The South Beach Resort is the latest to make a move, and the plans are to add another 70,000 square-foot building on its property to help handle more guests. Meanwhile, The Homewood Suites Oceanfront Resort project was put on hold before the end of the year, and there's still no activity at the proposed location. There is the same situation with The Residence Inn Spring Hill Suites Oceanfront resort. The plan was to put that hotel near the 2nd Avenue Pier, but the city hasn't approved it, and no work has happened there either.
With the up and down hotel news, is this a good sign, or a bad one for our local economy? City Spokesperson Mark Kruea says it's normal activity for hotels, since they are such large developments.
"The economy is recovering certainly from the great recession," explained Kruea. "We've seen tourism numbers, but the lending community needs to follow along. There are a lot of things that need to get in place before you can build a $40 or $50 million project."
One of those is getting approval from the City of Myrtle Beach. The city's appearance board will review the South Beach Resort hotel expansion at 1:30 Wednesday at city hall. As far as the other hotel projects, there are still plans to make them happen, it's just a question of when.

The market for used iPhones has always been hot compared with other mobile devices, but it's gotten even more active since the new iPhone 6 was introduced this week.
The company rounds out its consumer lens lineup with a 55-300mm model.
Sorry, Galaxy S3 owners, you get up to just $175. The new program, which puts the money toward the purchase of a new phone, starts September 21 at Walmart and Sam's Club.
Asus' 10.1-inch tablet packs a 1,920x1,200 pixel display and will be on sale in a few weeks.
The CNET UK podcast hits number 300 with news of the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Curiosity on Mars.
To entice fans, publishers often include extras (like posters or statues) with games. But few cost as much as this stylish Resident Evil 6 bundle.
Don't let the 20-inch screen fool you. The Lenovo C300 is still a Nettop, and thus still not worth your money. With its terrible performance and limited convenience benefit, a true budget PC or a Netbook would be a wiser purchase.
Electronic newspapers are great! They consume no trees, require no gas-guzzling trucks, and leave no ink on your fingers.

Canon EF Zoom Lenses / Re: Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM« on: May 11, 2011, 05:23:11 AM »
Some beutifull pics there guys, but have to say I have had very poor results with this lens and a fiend of mine has 2 of them and he only has kept them for backup for his 24-105. I know that its hit and miss sometimes with lens copies, but I found the autofocus in them to be so unreliable and when I use it on my 5D mark2, it isn't a winning combination for Modern Wedding Photography. I now use the 24-105 which isn't brilliant but its much better. The reason why im giving my 2cents about this is that I think Canon should have replaced this lens a long time ago, such lens's like the efs17-85 and the 15-85 which would be comparable are much better performers in my opinion. I just think Canon should address this because if they brought out a 28-135 mk2 I would most definatelly buy it. What do you guys think?

Another Categoery3 Reviews
aka ClassoftheTitans_fan here. Sorry I have not updated in a long time on ficwad here, but i couldn't wait to...(ead for more!)
(i know this is not Classofthe titans but it's the only cateogeory i know where ppl actually review! and i really would like comments on this story)
Plz tell me what u think, no complaints plz, and if u would like to check it out, plz do, and tell me! I hope u will all like this one as much as my others!!!
luv u all!!!
It's going to be about 4 best friends, actually for me i find it moving...but that all depends on others. It's about any other teenage girl's lives. It takes place in the summer.
The 4 characters of this story are
Tracey (a really good soccer player and really fast runner, she's the main character, and basically leader of the group everyone depends on her, she's a strong not hyper but out-going not shy girl type of girl, it would be hard for anyone to dislike her)
Blair (Even though a;ll four are best friends, Blair and Tracey are the closest. Tracey teaches her many tricks about surfng even though she's an expert at volleyball, she does it to get a guy's attention.)
Deisha (A total flirt, crazy kind of girl, and even though she hangs with Serenity a gilr who's super shy in the group, they are best friends to be. Deisha loves tennis, but later on t=in the way she finds a broken heart)
Serenity(A really excellent dancer, but she will never show her friends whats he really has. Until one night...)

***** Escape the Wolf: Risk Mitigation; Personal Security Handbook for the Traveling Professional. By Clint Emerson with Lynn Walters; Escape the Wolf, escapethewolf.com; 570 pages; $39.99.
So you go to the home of a business contact in Angola, and you choose to bring a box of chocolates as a token gift and look him directly in the eye during the conversation. It is only later that you find out that the chocolates are a good idea, but the meeting did not go well because Angolans avoid direct eye contact as they believe this will make the other feel scrutinized. Fast forward to a meeting in Hong Kong. You choose to wear your white linen jacket because of the heat and present a clock with your company's name on it to your local contact. Too bad no one told you that in the local society, the color white represents death and mourning, and clocks are considered bad luck. That information could have been helpful in the planning stage of your meeting.
When you must operate in unfamiliar cultures, seemingly small things can affect not only whether you win a contract but also whether you put yourself or others in danger of bodily harm. Clint Emerson, a former Department of Defense employee and longtime resident of Saudi Arabia, has constructed a truly enlightening book that delves into these types of situations.
While Escape the Wolf is lengthy, it is well structured and easy to follow. The book has three parts, starting with personal safety. The concepts of total awareness, practical travel, observation, decision-making, threats, and preparation are detailed in an easy-to-read format. Part two looks at the worst case scenario: the terrorism threat—but the perspective is a 72-page breakdown of the Al Qaeda Manual, the thought being that it never hurts to peek at the other side's playbook before the game so that you can work on your own plans.
The third and longest section is perhaps the most informative. It examines more than 50 locations, including Afghanistan, Vietnam, Peru, Colombia, Nigeria, Russia, and Tunisia. Each section has an overview of the country, key cultural concepts and values, working relationships, and business etiquette explanations relative to the best practices in that region.
The book is aimed at the average professional businessperson, and security professionals may find some security discussions rather basic. The book can, nonetheless, be a good refresher and an excellent starting place for conducting security travel briefings with nonsecurity personnel.
Reviewer: Christopher Eger is a supervisor for a top-50 homeland security contractor that protects vital federal infrastructure including U.S. courthouses, offices, and four presidential libraries. He has worked in physical security and force protection for 10 years and has written more than 300 articles on security and related topics.

"New simulations suggest that Jupiter's rocky core has been liquefying, melting, and mixing with the rest of the planet's innards. With this new data, astronomers hope to better explain a recent puzzling discovery of a strange planet outside of our solar system."
I have been posting research for several years now which indicates that our entire solar system is heating up due to the growing proximity of Planet X, aka Nibiru. Scientists who theorize that global warming, the disintegration and rapid melt of both polar ice caps, and rising sea levels is due to human activity and the burning of fossil fuels may be misguided. Our entire solar system is now heating up, and it's NOT due to increasing solar activity.
Read http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-other-planets-solar-system.htm
Cited: "This is a round-up of the planets said by skeptics to be experiencing climate change:
conflation of weather and climate. Based on two pictures taken 22 years apart, assumptions were made that have not proved to be reliable. There is currently no evidence to support claims that Mars is warming at all. More on Mars…
Claims that solar system bodies are heating up due to increased solar activity are clearly wrong. The sun's output has declined in recent decades. Only Pluto and Neptune are exhibiting increased brightness. Heating attributed to other solar bodies remains unproven."
I'm re-stating my standing theory once again in this post: our solar system is heating up due to the ever increasing proximity of Nibiru. This is where scientists should be placing the focus of their research. We have less than 70 years until the 3600 year cyclic return and fly-by of Nibiru inside our solar system alters the surface of the entire planet and all life on it for decades thereafter.
What we are dealing with is not just "global warming." It's "solar system warming."
Humanity, as a whole, MUST prepare and deploy all intelligent science, architecture, agriculture, human labor and all available existing technology toward making pole-shift survivable structures, food re-distribution networks, deploying water and medical supplies to displaced surviving populations on a mass scale, and creating global contingency plans for how people will communicate across great distances when there is no electricity or even a partial electrical grid that functions – for decades.That's right. I said 'decades'.
HAM radio networks powered by solar and / or hand cranked generators can broadcast intermittent local reports, which can then be relayed on by other HAM operators, in times of crisis.
People must begin to think NOW in terms of possible future scenarios where there is no electrical grid, or any kind of electrical power, not for just a few days, or weeks, or months, but for YEARS. That's the level of emergency preparedness that local preparedness groups must achieve to be ready to survive the Nibiru passage and to help other groups to do the same.
When the Nibiru solar system fly-by occurs, all state officials and government employees, the military, all the Illuminati "royal" families and their extended relations will be literally going underground, where they may be either entombed in death when the passage occurs, or surviving like well fed vermin on the billions of dollars of high technology and emergency rations which they have squirreled away in underground D.U.M.B.S. for than two decades.
See http://alternativenewsreport.net/2011/01/22/dumbs-repost/
Governments around the world have been proceeding with these types of advance survival preparations in secret for at least three decades now, since the IRIS telescope first detected Nibiru in 1983. See
We the people in nation after nation around the world now need to find ways to network with one another and exchange survival preparedness information and resources on a global scale. There IS still time to prepare. But being distracted for months on end by the endless display of trivial human drama which pours into the "celebrity news media circuits [ circus ]" to amaze, confuse, dumb down and stupefy the masses, has to be conquered by millions of people who can't go for one day without checking in on the exploits of their favorite mindless celebrity. Trust me, there is a reason you are being pummeled daily with the non-news headlines about Kim Kardashian or other flavor-of-the-month Hollywood celebrities and their antics. It keeps you so riveted to your I-phones, I-pads and TVs that you remain in the media-engorged stupor that the Illuminati desires you to be, and when existing in such a stupor, you ARE NOT astutely preparing for the future times to come.
Now is a time to become astute, rather than to sink further into media stupefaction. We still have time, but humanity must prepare and move on it now. There's approximately a 50 year window. We need to use that window with cunning and sagacity to be ready.

Wilfred Owen: Preface to Edition
At Ripon, probably in May 1918, Owen drafted a preface for a collection of war poems that he hoped to publish in 1919:
This book is not about heroes. English poetry is not yet fit to speak of them.
Nor is it about deeds, or lands, nor anything about glory, honour, might, majesty, dominion, or power, except War.
Above all I am not concerned with Poetry.
My subject is War, and the pity of War.
The Poetry is in the pity.
Yet these elegies are to this generation in no sense consolatory. They may be to the next. All a poet can do today is warn. That is why the true Poets must be truthful.
If I thought the letter of this book would last, I might have used proper names; but if the spirit of it survives - survives Prussia - my ambition and those names will have achieved themselves fresher fields than Flanders...
WO, p. 266

Lamar Odom's charity, Cathy's Kids, never donated a single dollar to the AAU basketball program ... despite L.O.'s claims ... at least that's what the president of the Amateur Athletic Union tells TMZ.
We spoke to Henry Forrest ... who tells us, "Cathy's Kids has never donated to us. They have never, ever contributed to us. On Sunday morning it was mentioned that Cathy's Kids has contributed to AAU Basketball teams ... that is an incorrect statement."
Forrest is responding to the "Outside the Lines" report, in which ESPN showed documents seemingly proving $1.3 million of the $2.2 raised by the charity was donated to "AAU team sponsorship."
When asked about the specific programs Cathy's Kids helps to support, Odom told the reporter, "A lot through AAU basketball in my neighborhood where I come from in South Jamaica, Queens."
But Forrest tells TMZ it's simply not true -- though he does say it's possible Odom used the money to finance an independent local team that was allowed to participate in AAU events.
"It is possible that Cathy's Kids sponsored [an independent] team that registered to play in an AAU event. But teams like this only register to play in our events, they are not affiliated with AAU."
Forrest explains, "AAU doesn't have anything to do with local organizations that put together independent teams. We don't manage those teams or deal with those local teams put together. They only register to play."
11:15 AM PT -- A source close to Lamar has confirmed what the AAU president suspected, telling us, "Lamar had teams he funded for their expenses for AAU sanctioned events. Money did not go directly to the AAU, it went directly to the teams for their expenses."
The putrid stench of the Kartrashians rises once again. He should name the teams and the amounts donated if he really gave money to anyone other than himself and the Katrashians. I bet Momma-K, Lamar, and Khloe were taking huge salaries to run the 'charity' leaving next to nothing to donate.
Charities are required to report their financials each year. Maybe TMZ can pull those records and report the true facts about these s c u m bags.
I hope that someone gets to the bottom of this. That's really screwed up if he was just using the money for the traveling ball teams and "administrative" costs. Really screwed up. .....!!!
stupid fat Khloe is trying to claim that it's Lamar's money anyway - but since he got a huge tax deduction if he did donate it - and there are certain legal and ethical rules to be followed, that doesn't mean the charity can do anything it wants with the money. Just another celebirty charity scamming people.
It was inevitable that the Klan would involve themselves in a situation that Pimp Momma Kris couldn't fix...and I think this might be it!!!
(I always thought Khloe was on the level, but it looks like not.)
Upon reflection, I am willing to bet, the JennerK's are basking in all of this ATTENTION! They keep throwing out the bait and the gullible public keeps responding.
We need to keep them OUT of the news and SEACREST needs to CANCEL their show. Still laughing all the way to the bank. Just not right,people.
WTF does sponsoring a basketball team got to with helping fight cancer. He scammed people plain and simple
anyone associated with the Kardashians is less than stellar!!
Sketch. This whole thing is awful. He should be ashamed of himself and Khloe should be ashamed of herself for going along with it if she realized what was going on. She isn't too bright so she may not have known.
Lamar and company are pathetic
This means this charity is a total sham.
On Khloe's website, she said NONE OF THIS IS TRUE, so we must believe her, right???
I read the other stories and the update, and I still think something is 'off' about this situation.
First of all, I couldn't find a website for the chartity. After tons of searching, I discovered Khloe had deleted the pic from her site. I eventually found it listed in another charity site, but it just described what the chartity was about, and there was no link! to any website. There was a amateurish logo and an address where people could donate via CHEQUES (only)! There was no link to donate via Pay Pal or credit card.
Lamar seems like an honest guy, but he's also pretty flaky. The first thing that came to mind is maybe his friend Jamie was running it (and not doing such a good job)?: I think there is more to this than meets the eye, but I don't think Lamar was involved (although he will be ultimately be held responsible).
I just found the link to Cathy's Kids - it's actually called Cathy's Kids Foundation. Notice the only way to donate is to MAIL cheques!
Khloe should be INDICTED for her involvement in this charity. She knowingly asked for money and sold articles. Its NOT all Lamar
First Mary J Blige, now Lamar and Hoeie . Pay back is going to be a MUTHER.

@Robertsproject: Yes, implausible as it probably seems, I own a Beanie Baby Wienermobile. One of my good friends from college landed a gig driving the Wienermobile. This must have been ten years ago (hence the Beanie Baby). I went to see him at an event, got a tour (it's swank on the inside), and got this bad boy, which at the time was super-rare and worth close to $1,235,568 on the Beanie Baby Black Market. Now, sadly, its market value has plummeted, and its value lay purely in its role as a keepsake, dust collector, and occasional paper weight.

- Our Mutual Friend - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
The last completed novel of English author Charles Dickens, Our Mutual Friend was published serially in 1864-65 and in book form in 1865. Sometimes compared to Dickens' novel Bleak House because of its subject matter, it is essentially a critique of Victorian monetary and class values. The novel is notable because of its sympathetic portrayal of a Jewish character named Riah, which some critics have seen as Dickens' attempt to atone for the character of Fagin in Oliver Twist. In the book, London is portrayed as grimmer than ever before, and the corruption, complacency, and superficiality of "respectable" society are fiercely attacked.

Barn destroyed in 3-alarm blaze at Wilson Farms
A three-alarm fire destroyed a maintenance barn Friday morning at Wilson Farms in Litchfield. (KIMBERLY HOUGHTON/Union Leader Correspondent)
The barn at Wilson Farm, 144 Charles Bancroft Highway, was destroyed by the blaze. There were no animals inside the barn, and no one was hurt battling the fire that brought firefighter crews from all over the region. The fire was reported shortly before 10 a.m., by passing motorists, according to fire officials.
Because a small crew mans the Litchfield Fire Department during the day, mutual aid was immediately called to assist, fire inspector Steve Dube said.
The two-story maintenance barn that caught on fire was used to store tractors and other farming equipment, although workers were able to get much of the machinery out of the building before the fire spread, according to witnesses on the scene.
A neighbor said the barn is primarily used as a workshop area and center for the farming operations. In the winter, there is a lot of work done to restore and prepare the tractors for the upcoming farming season, he said.
Wilson Farm, which has a larger facility in Lexington, Mass., is owned by Donald Wilson, according to its website. Wilson was not available for comment. The smaller farm and produce stand in Litchfield grows a variety of vegetables, including corn, squash, pumpkins, tomatoes and more. The Wilson family owns about 500 acres of property in town, according to the website.
Firefighters said a hazardous materials team arrived at the scene to help mitigate runoff from the firefighting efforts, and to alleviate concerns of fertilizer stored in the barn. Wilson Farm does have some goats on the site, but they are stored in a different barn next to the two-story barn that was destroyed, neighbors said.
Only the shell of the barn's structure remained on Friday. It took crews about two hours to get the blaze under control.
In addition to Litchfield firefighters, crews from Manchester, Londonderry, Hudson, Nashua, Amherst, Auburn, Derry, Bedford, Windham and Merrimack helped battle the blaze and provide station coverage.
The cause of the fire was still unknown Friday evening. Fire officials were continuing to investigate.

Has evidence been lost?
At the height of the historic abuse inquiry, large areas of the former home were forensically excavated. A hoard of children's teeth were among the finds.
Now Deputy Trevor Pitman wants a detailed audit trail from the investigation, identifying what items were retrieved; where they were sent for analysis; who sent/authorized them to go; who examined them; and where each item is currently stored.

You only have to look at the support in the Chamber for Deputy Trevor Pitman to see where he is going with everything. No doubt he will be explaning all his failures to his voters in the next elections by blaming everybody else but himself as per usual.

Posted By: Paul on 06-Nov-2012
I replied last night yet it does not appear on here. The basic Gyst was there is no "official" document like you say because it was determined it was too old to go any further with it although it was stated by th experts they did find collagen. I could counter with where is the official documentation that that particular item was coconut? You dont have to try to answer. If i remember that was just what someone said it resembled then a politician decided that was all he needed to continue to ridicule the investigation. Much better to ridicule the whole investigation to try to save our reputation. Hopefully the above will be posted as I have cut it short and not mentioned any other items of evidence that were discovered yet not reported on so as to save face!

SPL - Blogs (Web Logs) are generally singular opinions based on personal translations of either news stories or data but very few are ever balanced and seen by the National Press as wholly accurate. You only have to look at the amount of time some blogs have been online and their 'real' measurable influence they have had on real court events which amounts to nothing. If people want to read and believe all these Web Logs then leave them to it.

Blogs of no substance
Report Abuse
Posted By: SPL on 05-Nov-2012
I just decided to take a look at one of these blogs and the first title I read was 'Culture of Concealment - Jersey Child Abuse Cover - up'. Serious title, but when you read the contents of this story it doesn't prove any culture of concealment at all and if you are going to base all your judgements on what Lenny Harper has to say about the Island then you also have to ask yourself why this man has never come back with his day books. Why he only ever comments on Jersey from land afar and why he thinks taking News of the World reporters out for lavish meals on tax payers money is an ok thing to do? I think I can see why these blogs are getting nowhere because they never actually deliver anything strong enough for serious thought and besides if they did the National Tabloids would have been onto them years ago.

Its a funny question because I would be surprised if they have any need to store bits of guttering, coconut and bedspring after this sham of a case was exposed on television. Mind you I do still chuckle when I recall they showed the bedspring of which Harper told us were restraints, now that was funny!

Why raise this yet again
Report Abuse
Posted By: Andy on 05-Nov-2012
Why is Deputy Pitman raising this again? It was clearly shown that Harper grossly exaggerated the couple of minor incidents that occurred there out of all proportion. He was severely criticised by the Court of Appeal over his handling of the press during the whole enquiry and in particular the Haute de la Garenne part. And before the conspiracy theorists start shouting about a cover up by the local 'establishment' I would point out that the court was presided over by a UK judge who was a QC. There were only seven people convicted of any crimes following this huge multi million pound enquiry - they should pay any compensation not the tax payer. Joe Public did not commit these crimes so why should the tax payers have money taken out of their pockets via their taxes to pay compensation - all that achieves is that it makes the tax payers additional victims!

Posted By: Lee, Grouville on 05-Nov-2012
We seem to be raking over the same ground time and time again and the States as well as the Public must be bored to tears with it all by now? There is no evidence of cover up but just hearsay and that initial find under the ground at Haut de la Garenne when publically shown as a piece of coconut was a joke. Mick Gradwell and David Warcup with their vast experience and zero connections to the Island (despite what some obsessed bloggers claim) brought the case back down to earth. Why Deputy Pitman thinks there is still public interest in all this initial nonsense just because of the recent national Jimmy Savile claims which have gone over kill already is just a mystery.

This is the find that the bloggers claimed to contain collagen but not one single police report out there ever said that it did and despite requests for information to be seen to back up their claims they just avoid the question.
Who Was Abused ?
Report Abuse
Posted By: Bob on 05-Nov-2012
I would like to know, if it is such a fact that there is such a scandal, then who is claiming they were abused there, and what evidence can they provide to prove they were ? I find this whole thing quite bizarre. Kids living there did not shout abuse at the time, but now some 30/40 years later, there are reports of scandals. I know and went to school with many kids who lived there, and I never heard anyone say they had been abused or stuff was going on up there. Kids talk. And nothing has been been proved apart from speculation as I see it. Where is the proof?

A new type of gadget
The demand for hybrids seems to be high. As such, Asus have released Taichi 21 which we'll analyze here.
The device in question doesn't feature only one display, but two, and their purposes are different. The one that faces out is for tablet mode and it's a 11.6″ model; the second one which faces in is to be used for laptop mode and its display has the same dimension.read more

Is the D100 fully compatible with the Nikon DX AF-S 55-200 G ED VR lens?
Will the autofocus work?
Hi ,this link may help http://www.nikonians.org/nikon/slr-lens.html
So the fact that it does not autofocus (when my Sigma 12-14 lens does) probably means the lens has got a fault. :(
Hi , It sounds like your lens is in need of repair... graham
It's worse than that, local camera shop agreed that it was probably an electronic fault with the lens, but said it was beyond economic repair! It's 3 years old and thus out of guarantee. Nikon charge nearly £90 per hour +VAT to even look at it so a new Sigma lens with almost the same spec (on special offer at £150) would probably be cheaper. :( .
Now if the body had been more modern I might well have bought this, but the D100 is now some 8-9 years old and very much outclassed in many respects by even a small compact. So I passed. I can't afford a new body equivalent to what the D100 was in its heyday and it didn't make economic sense to buy a new lens to go with a down level body.
Sorry to hear that. You may pick a second hand sigma cheap i have saw them on gumtree and ebay... good luck and let me know how you get on... graham
I've decided that my days of lugging a heavy camera bag around are over. As I said, the D100 is obsolete and a modern compact digital camera can outperform it in many ways. So I cut my losses and bought a Panasonic TZ8. It's got a Lica Vario-Elmar lens with a 12X optical zoom (OK it's probably made under license in Japan) and a 12M pixel sensor, twice that of the D100. With built in image stabilisation and more bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at.
To be brutally frank, despite its obvious limitations (no RAW mode for example), it's a better camera for my needs and a lot cheaper than throwing the thick end of £1,000 at the Nikon outfit to bring it up to date. In any case, I've still got the Nikon if the need arises.
Hi. I'm thinking along those lines as well. I go up the north of scotland and lugging a dslr and 3 or 4 lenses up and down mountains a bit of a pain. I checked out you camera and it looks a good choice... graham
Actually, if you shop around on the web, you can get it for about £185, only £20 more than I paid.

nahawk_001955715 wrote an answer about Norrøna Trollveggen Down 750 Jacket - Men's on February 13, 2014
Euro rated 750 fill-power is approximately equivalent to US 800-850 fill power. This jacket has exceptional down. Granted, 900 down is available, but it is prohibitively expensive relative to the negligible benefit you get over 850 down. I disagree with Rambo that 900 wouldn?t make sense for a jacket in this category; Patagonia makes 1000 fill-power jacket in the same genre. You just pay an arm and a leg for the novelty. 900 fill isn?t just for high altitude mountaineering; it is for every possible temperature range that would require insulation. Also, again disagreeing with Rambo, all of the so called expedition companies he listed do not have 900 fill-power expedition style jackets. Lastly, 900 fill is exactly the opposite of what Rambo suggests; it IS light, compressible, and packable. Actually, it is the best at all of those things. That?s why it is appealing. Bottom line: You get great down in this jacket. If it has enough fill weight (in contrast to fill-power) for the temperature range you expect to encounter, you would be making a great choice.

What's New at Pine Knot Farms
Much has been said about producing clonal forms of Helleborus xhybridus, the Lenten Roses, from tissue culture but there has not been a great deal of success until recently. We have given plants to various labs since 1995, but unil recently we haven't seen any results. Some other species and intersection hybrids have responded to this method of propagation with good results. A number of clonal forms including ericsmithii 'Ivory Prince', 'Silvermoon' and 'Pink Beauty' as well as nigercors 'White Beauty' 'Green Corsican' and 'Honey Hill Joy' have been on the market for a few years. Last year we offered some of the first forms of Helleborus xhybridus for sale and this year we are able to offer a few more colours.
Hellebores from tc prices are $10.00 each
