Editorial Reviews
This first in a new series about Sherlock Holmes as a teenager finds the dismayed hero taken by his brother Mycroft to stay with a stuffy uncle in the country for his summer school holiday. Sherlock and his orphaned friend, Matty, probe two strange deaths associated with the appearance of a mysterious cloud. One of the strengths of this book is the immediacy of action—beginning chapters don't weigh readers down with details but introduce necessary clues and facts woven skillfully into the text. After the scene is thoroughly set, the plot takes off like a rocket, constantly building suspense to a shockingly violent climax and over-the-top conclusion in which justice prevails over evil. The main characters are well drawn, but the villains are underdeveloped caricatures whose evil is unmitigated by human qualities. A rollicking good read, this book will offer a solid introduction to the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for younger teens.It also offers enjoyable insight into how Sherlock Holmes became the future investigative wizard for established fans of the ultimate detective.(Mystery/suspense. 13-17)
Dan Weyman does a fantastic job with the narration. There are plenty of characters to perform, but standouts are Amycus Crowe and the evil villain, Baron Maupertuis, who is performed with enthusiasm.
Dan Wyman does a wonderful job of narrating the story…Weyman's narration adds depth to the story and definitely brings the characters to life. No matter your age DEATH CLOUD will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is a great story to introduce youngsters to the amazing world of Sherlock Holmes. Looking forward to young Sherlock's next adventure.
Weyman's clear and concise narration made for easy listening and added immensely to the tone of the story.
Andrew Lane begins a new series exploring the pre-history of the famous fictional detective. Mr. Lane has the approval of the descendants of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who wrote the original Holmes stories, and purists will applaud the way he salts the story with clues to the sleuth's adult propensities. . . . The dramatic, violent ending leaves enough narrative strings dangling that readers over the age of 12 who enjoy detective fiction will grab for the sequel next fall.
Lane's writing style is action-packed and detail-oriented.
Lane's command of what will one day become Holmes's signature methods is remarkable. . . The novel strives to rescue Holmes from the prejudices of his creator, and thereby expand the pool of Holmes devotees. For that we can all be grateful.
For a reader who has outgrown the Hardy Boys' adventures but still seeks mystery-solving plots, Andrew Lane's invention of a teenage Sherlock Holmes will seem timely. . . . Lane also knows how to do villains quite well.
Death Cloud quickly becomes a true page-turner.
Two recent series for young readers present Arthur Conan Doyle's great detective, Sherlock Holmes, as a teenager. Death Cloud by Andrew Lane and the sequels to come in "Sherlock Holmes: The Legend Begins" are pitched to the crowd that likes action movies but can see that the television series 'Psych' is in the Sherlock Holmes family.
Just when you thought all teen reading had to have vampires, a new series for ages 12 and up goes to the heart and soul of detective fiction. Death Cloud: Sherlock Holmes, the Legend Begins introduces young readers to a 14-year-old Holmes. The book has been endorsed by the Conan Doyle estate as consistent with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's vision of Holmes, important to parents who may be looking for books that send their young readers down a more traditional reading path.
Middle-schoolers in search of branded action/adventure will certainly be entertained.
This British import (the first teen series to be granted official endorsement from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's literary estate) has punch--some literal--and purpose. . . . The rousing, almost fantastical conclusion will set readers up for the next installment.
What a blast. Weird murders, creepy villains, fiendish puzzles, non-stop action. What more could you want from a book?
Should impress the detective's fans of all ages . . . An elementary success story.
Death Cloud is the perfect way to introduce this character to a new generation of book readers.
Rich in period detail, it has tasters of Holmes's deductive genius and insights into how his character was made, plus a diabolical villain . . . A self-contained and rewarding adventure.
Death Cloud quickly becomes a true page-turner.

Read an Excerpt
"You there! Come here!"
Sherlock Holmes turned to see who was being called and who was doing the calling. There were hundreds of pupils standing in the bright sunlight outside Deepdene School for Boys that morning, each dressed in immaculate school uniform and each with a leather-strapped wooden chest or an overstuffed pile of luggage sitting in front of him like a loyal dog. Any one of them might have been the target. The masters at Deepdene made a habit of never referring to the pupils by name—it was always "You!" or "Boy!" or "Child!" It made life difficult and kept the boys on their toes, which was probably the reason why they did it. Either that or the masters had given up trying to remember the names of their pupils long ago; Sherlock wasn't sure which explanation was the most likely. Perhaps both.
None of the other pupils were paying attention. They were either gossiping with the family members who had turned up to collect them or they were eagerly watching the school gates for first sight of the carriage that was going to take them home. Reluctantly, Sherlock swung round to see if the malign finger of fate was pointing his way.
It was. The finger in question belonged in this instance to Mr. Tulley, the Latin master. He had just come round the corner of the school, where Sherlock was standing apart from the other boys. His suit, which was usually covered in chalk dust, had been specially cleaned for the end of term and the inevitable meetings with the fathers who were paying for their boys to be educated, and his mortarboard sat straight on his head as if glued there by the headmaster.
"Me, sir?"
"Yes, sir. You, sir," Mr. Tulley snapped. "Get yourself to the headmaster's study quam celerrime. Do you remember enough of your Latin to know what that means?"
"It means 'straightaway,' sir."
"Then move yourself."
Sherlock cast a glance at the school gate. "But, sir—I'm waiting for my father to pick me up."
"I'm sure he won't leave without you, boy."
Sherlock made one last, defiant attempt. "My luggage…"
Mr. Tulley glanced disparagingly at Sherlock's battered wooden trunk—a hand-me-down from his father's military travels, stained with old dirt and scuffed by the passing years. "I can't see anyone wanting to steal it," he said, "except perhaps for its historical value. I'll get a prefect to watch it for you. Now cut along."
Reluctantly, Sherlock abandoned his belongings—the spare shirts and underclothes, the books of poetry and the notebooks in which he had taken to jotting down ideas, thoughts, speculations, and the occasional tune that came into his head—and walked off towards the columned portico at the front of the school building, pushing through the crowd of pupils, parents, and siblings while still keeping an eye on the gateway, where a scrum of horses and carriages were all trying to get in and out of the narrow gate at the same time.
The main entrance hall was lined with oak panelling and encircled by marble busts of previous headmasters and patrons, each on its own separate plinth. Shafts of sunlight crossed diagonally from the high windows to the black-and-white tiled floor, picked out by swirling motes of chalk dust. It smelt of the carbolic that the maids used to clean the tiles every morning. The press of bodies in the hall made it likely that at least one of the busts would be toppled over before long. Some of them already had large cracks marring their pure marble, suggesting that every term saw at least one of them smashed on the floor and subsequently repaired.
He wove in and out of the people, ignored by everyone, and eventually found himself exiting the throng and entering a corridor that led off the entrance hall. The headmaster's study was a few yards down. He paused on the threshold, drew a breath, dusted down his lapels, and knocked on the door.
"Enter!" boomed a theatrically loud voice.
Sherlock twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open, trying to quell the spasm of nervousness that shot through his body like lightning. He had only been in the headmaster's study twice before—once with his father, when he first arrived at Deepdene, and once again a year later with a group of other pupils who had been accused of cheating in an examination. The three ringleaders had been caned and expelled; the four or five followers had been caned until their buttocks bled and allowed to stay. Sherlock—whose essays had been the ones copied by the group—had escaped a caning by claiming that he knew nothing about it. In fact, he had known all along, but he had always been something of an outsider at the school, and if letting the other pupils copy his work got him tolerated, if not accepted, then he wasn't going to raise any ethical objections. On the other hand, he wasn't going to tell on the copiers either—that would have got him beaten and, perhaps, held in front of one of the roaring fires that dominated the dormitories until his skin began to blister and his clothes to smoke. School life was like that—a perpetual balancing act between the masters and the other pupils. And he hated it.
The headmaster's study was just the way he remembered it—vast, dim, and smelling of a combination of leather and pipe tobacco. Mr. Tomblinson was sitting behind a desk large enough to play bowls on. He was a portly man in a suit that was slightly too small for him, chosen presumably on the basis that it helped him believe he wasn't quite as large as he obviously was.
"Ah, Holmes, is it? In, lad, in. Close the door behind you."
Sherlock did as he was told, but as he pushed the door shut he caught sight of another figure in the room: a man standing in front of the window with a glass of sherry in his hand. The sunlight refracted in rainbow shards from the cut glass of the schooner.
"Mycroft?" Sherlock said, amazed.
His elder brother turned towards him, and a smile flickered across his face so rapidly that if Sherlock had blinked at the wrong moment then he might have missed it. "Sherlock. You've grown."
"So have you," Sherlock said. Indeed, his brother had put on weight. He was nearly as plump as the headmaster, but his suit was tailored to hide it rather than accentuate it. "You came in Father's carriage."
Mycroft raised an eyebrow. "How on earth did you deduce that, young man?"
Sherlock shrugged. "I noticed the parallel creases in your trousers where the upholstery pressed them, and I remember that Father's carriage has a tear in the upholstery that was repaired rather clumsily a few years ago. The impression of that repair is pressed into your trousers, next to the creases." He paused. "Mycroft, where's Father?"
The headmaster harrumphed to attract attention back to him. "Your father is—"
"Father won't be coming," Mycroft interrupted smoothly. "His regiment was sent out to India to strengthen the existing military force. There has been some unrest in the North West Frontier region. You know where that is?"
"Yes. We've studied India in geography lessons and in history."
"Good boy."
"I didn't realize the natives there were causing problems again," the headmaster rumbled. "Not been in The Times, that's for sure."
"It's not the Indians," Mycroft confided. "When we took the country back from the East India Company, the soldiers out there transferred back under Army control. They've found the new regime to be a lot … stricter … than the one they were used to. There's been a great deal of bad feeling, and the government has decided to drastically increase the size of the force in India to give them an example of what real soldiers are like. It's bad enough to have the Indians rebelling; a mutiny inside the British Army is unthinkable."
"And will there be a mutiny?" Sherlock asked, feeling his heart sinking like a stone dropped into a pond. "Will Father be safe?"
Mycroft shrugged his massive shoulders. "I don't know," he said simply. That was one of the things that Sherlock respected about his brother. He always gave a straight response to a straight question. No honeying the pill. "Sadly, I don't know everything. Not yet, anyway."
"But you work for the government," Sherlock pressed. "You must have some idea of what might happen. Can't you send a different regiment? Keep Father here in England?"
"I've only been with the Foreign Office for a few months," Mycroft replied, "and although I am flattered that you think I have the power to alter such important things, I'm afraid I don't. I'm an advisor. Just a clerk, really."
"How long will Father be gone?" Sherlock asked, remembering the large man dressed in a scarlet serge jacket with white belts crossing his chest, who laughed easily and lost his temper rarely. He could feel a pressure in his chest but he held his feelings in check. If there was one lesson he had learned from his time at Deepdene School, it was that you never showed any emotion. If you did, it would be used against you.
"Six weeks for the ship to reach port, six months in the country, I would estimate, and then another six weeks returning. Nine months in all."
"Nearly a year." He bowed his head for a moment, composing himself, then nodded. "Can we go home now?"
"You're not going home," Mycroft said.
Sherlock just stood there, letting the words sink into him, not saying anything.
"He can't stay here," the headmaster muttered. "The place is being cleaned."
Mycroft moved his calm gaze away from Sherlock and on to the headmaster. "Our mother is … unwell," he said. "Her constitution is delicate at the best of times, and this business with our father has distressed her greatly. She needs peace and quiet, and Sherlock needs someone older to look after him."
"But I've got you!" Sherlock protested.
Mycroft shook his large head sadly. "I live in London now, and my job requires me to work many hours each day. I would not, I'm afraid, be a fit guardian for a boy, especially an inquisitive one such as you." He turned towards the headmaster, almost as if it was easier to give him the next piece of information than to tell Sherlock. "Although the family house is in Horsham we have relatives in Farnham, not too far from here. An uncle and aunt. Sherlock will be staying with them over the school holidays."
"No!" Sherlock exploded.
"Yes," Mycroft said gently. "It is arranged. Uncle Sherrinford and Aunt Anna have agreed to take you in for the summer."
"But I've never even met them!"
"Nevertheless, they are family."
Mycroft bade farewell to the headmaster while Sherlock stood there blankly, trying to take in the enormity of what had just happened. No going home. No seeing his father and his mother. No exploring in the fields and woods around the manor house that had been home to him for fourteen years. No sleeping in his old bed in the room under the eaves of the house where he kept all of his books. No sneaking into the kitchens where Cook would give him a slice of bread and jam if he smiled at her. Instead, weeks of staying with people he didn't know, being on his best behaviour in a town, in a county that he didn't know anything about. Alone, until he returned to school.
How was he going to manage?
Sherlock followed Mycroft out of the headmaster's study and along the corridor to the entrance hall. An enclosed brougham carriage sat outside the doors, its wheels muddy and its sides dusty from the journey that Mycroft had already undertaken to the school. The crest of the Holmes family had been painted on the door. Sherlock's trunk had already been loaded on the back. A gaunt driver whom Sherlock did not recognize sat in the dicky box at the front, the reins that linked him to the two horses resting limply in his hands.
"How did he know that was my trunk?"
Mycroft gestured with his hand to indicate that it was nothing special. "I could see it from the window of the headmaster's study. The trunk was the only one sitting unattended. And besides, it was the one Father used to have. The headmaster was kind enough to send a boy out to tell him to load the trunk onto the carriage." He opened the door of the carriage and gestured to Sherlock to enter. Instead, Sherlock glanced around at his school and at his fellow pupils.
"You look as if you think you'll never see them again," Mycroft said.
"It's not that," Sherlock replied. "It's just that I thought I was leaving here for something better. Now I know I'm leaving here for something worse. As bad as this place is, this is as good as it gets."
"It won't be like that. Uncle Sherrinford and Aunt Anna are good people. Sherrinford is Father's brother."
"Then why have I never heard about them?" Sherlock asked. "Why has Father never mentioned having a brother?"
Mycroft winced almost imperceptibly. "I fear that there was a falling-out in the family. Relations were strained for a while. Mother reinitiated contact via letter some months ago. I'm not even sure Father knows."
"And that's where you're sending me?"
Mycroft patted Sherlock on the shoulder. "If there was an alternative I would take it, believe me. Now, do you need to say goodbye to any friends?"
Sherlock looked around. There were boys he knew, but were any of them really friends?
"No," he said. "Let's go."
The journey to Farnham took several hours. After passing through the town of Dorking, which was the closest group of houses to Deepdene School, the carriage clattered along country lanes, beneath spreading trees, past the occasional thatched cottage or larger house, and alongside fields that were ripe with barley. The sun shone from a cloudless sky, turning the carriage into an oven despite the breeze blowing in. Insects buzzed lazily at the windows. Sherlock watched for a while as the world went past. They stopped for lunch at an inn, where Mycroft bought some ham and cheese and half a loaf of bread. At some stage Sherlock fell asleep. When he woke up, minutes or hours later, the brougham was still moving through the same landscape. For a while he chatted with Mycroft about what was happening at home, about their sister, about Mother's fragile health. Mycroft asked after Sherlock's studies, and Sherlock told him something about the various lessons that he had sat through and more about the teachers who had taught them. He imitated their voices and their mannerisms, and reduced Mycroft to helpless laughter by the cruelty and humour of his impersonations.
After a while there were more houses lining the road and soon they were heading through a large town, the horses' hoofs clattering on cobbles. Leaning out of the carriage window, Sherlock saw what looked like a guildhall—a three-storey building, all white plaster and black beams, with a large clock hanging from a bracket outside the double doors.
"Farnham?" he guessed.
"Guildford," Mycroft answered. "Farnham is not too far away now."
The road out of Guildford led along a ridge from which the land fell away on both sides, fields and woods scattered about like toys, with patches of yellow flowers spreading across them.
"This ridge is called the Hog's Back," Mycroft remarked. "There's a semaphore station along here, on Pewley Hill, part of a chain that stretches from the Admiralty Building in London all the way to Portsmouth Harbour. Have they taught you about semaphores at school?"
Sherlock shook his head.
"Typical," Mycroft murmured. "All the Latin a boy can cram into his skull, but nothing of any practical use." He sighed heavily. "A semaphore is a method for passing messages quickly and over long distance that would take days by horse. Semaphore stations have boards on their roofs that can be seen from a distance, and have six large holes in them that can be opened or closed by shutters. Depending on which holes are open or closed, the board spells out different letters. A man at each semaphore station keeps watch on both the previous one in the chain and the next one with a telescope. If he sees a message being spelled out, he writes it down and then repeats it via his own semaphore board, and so the message travels. This particular chain starts at the Admiralty, then goes via Chelsea and Kingston upon Thames to here, then all the way to Portsmouth Dockyard. There's another chain leading down to Chatham Dockyards, and others to Deal, Sheerness, Great Yarmouth, and Plymouth. They were constructed so that the Admiralty could pass messages quickly to the Navy in the event of a French invasion of the country. Now, tell me, if there are six holes, and each hole can be either open or closed, how many different combinations are there that could signify letters, numbers, or other symbols?"
Fighting the urge to tell his brother that school was over, Sherlock closed his eyes and calculated for a moment. One hole could take two states: open or closed. Two holes could take four states: open-open; open-closed; closed-open; closed-closed. Three holes … He quickly worked through the calculation in his mind, and then saw a pattern emerging. "Sixty-four," he said eventually.
"Well done." Mycroft nodded. "I'm glad to see that your mathematics, at least, is up to scratch." He glanced out of the window to his right. "Ah, Aldershot. Interesting place. Fourteen years ago it was named by Queen Victoria as the home of the British Army. Before that it was a small hamlet with a population of less than a thousand. Now it is sixteen thousand and still growing."
Sherlock craned his neck to look over his brother at what lay outside the other window, but from this angle he could only see a scattering of houses and what might have been a railway line running parallel to the road at the bottom of the slope. He settled back into his seat and closed his eyes, trying not to think about what lay ahead.
After a while he felt the brougham heading downhill, and shortly after that they made a series of turns, and the sound of the ground beneath the horses' hoofs changed from stone to hard-packed earth. He screwed his eyes more tightly shut, trying to put off the moment when he would have to accept what was happening.
The carriage stopped on gravel. The sound of birdsong and the wind blowing through trees filled the carriage. Sherlock could hear footsteps crunching towards them.
"Sherlock," Mycroft said gently. "Time for reality."
He opened his eyes.
The brougham had stopped outside the entrance to a large house. Constructed from red brick, it towered above them: three storeys plus what looked like a set of rooms in the attic, judging by the small windows set into the grey tiles. A footman was just about to open Mycroft's door. Sherlock slid across and followed his brother out.
A woman was standing in the deep shadows at the top of three wide stone steps that led up to the portico in front of the main entrance. She was dressed entirely in black. Her face was thin and pinched, her lips pursed and her eyes narrowed, as if someone had substituted vinegar for her cup of tea that morning. "Welcome to Holmes Manor; I am Mrs. Eglantine," she said in a dry, papery voice. "I am the housekeeper here." She glanced at Mycroft. "Mr. Holmes will see you in the library, whenever you are ready." Her gaze slid to Sherlock. "And the footman will transfer your … luggage … to your room, Master Holmes. Afternoon tea will be served at three o'clock. Please be so good as to stay in your room until then."
"I will not be staying for tea," Mycroft said smoothly. "Sadly, I need to return to London." He turned towards Sherlock, and there was a look in his eyes that was part sympathy, part brotherly love, and part warning. "Take care, Sherlock," he said. "I will certainly be back to return you to school at the end of the holidays, and if I can I will visit in the meantime. Be good, and take the opportunity to explore the local area. I believe that Uncle Sherrinford has an exceptional library. Ask him if you can take advantage of the accumulated wisdom it contains. I will leave my contact details with Mrs. Eglantine—if you need me, send me a telegram or write a letter." He reached out and put a comforting hand on Sherlock's shoulder. "These are good people," he said, quietly enough that Mrs. Eglantine couldn't hear him, "but, like everyone in the Holmes family, they have their eccentricities. Be aware, and take care not to upset them. Write to me when you get a moment. And remember—this is not the rest of your life. This is just for a couple of months. Be brave." He squeezed Sherlock's shoulder.
Sherlock felt a bubble of anger and frustration forcing its way up his throat and choked it back. He didn't want Mycroft to see him react, and he didn't want to start his time at Holmes Manor badly. Whatever he did over the next few minutes would set the tone for the rest of his stay.
He stuck out his hand. Mycroft moved his own hand off Sherlock's shoulder and took it, smiling warmly.
"Goodbye," Sherlock said in as level a tone as he could manage. "Give my love to Mother, and to Charlotte. And if you hear anything of Father, let me know."
Mycroft turned and started up the stairs towards the entrance. Mrs. Eglantine met Sherlock's gaze for a moment, expressionless, then turned and led Mycroft into the house.
Looking back, Sherlock saw the footman struggling to hoist the trunk onto his shoulders. When it was safely balanced he staggered up the stairs, past Sherlock, who followed disconsolately.
The hall was tiled in black and white, lined with mahogany, with an ornate marble staircase flowing down from the upper floors like a frozen waterfall with several paintings of religious scenes, landscapes, and animals on the walls. Mycroft was just passing through a doorway to the left of the staircase into a room that, from the brief glance Sherlock caught, was lined with sets of books bound in green leather. A thin, elderly man in an old-fashioned black suit was rising from a chair that had been upholstered in a shade of leather that perfectly matched the colour of the books behind it. His face was bearded, lined, and pale, his scalp mottled with liver spots.
The door closed on them as they were shaking hands. The footman headed across the tiles to the bottom of the stairs, still balancing the trunk on his shoulders. Sherlock followed.
Mrs. Eglantine was standing at the bottom of the stairs, outside the library. She was staring over the top of Sherlock's head, towards the door.
"Child, be aware that you are not welcome here," she hissed as he passed.

Sundance trailer of the day: "I Used to Be Darker" [video]
Published January 15, 2013 2:25 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
One thing about the trailer for "I Used to Be Darker": It has a sting in it, especially at the end.
The movie, screening at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, tells of a Northern Irish runaway (Deragh Campbell) seeking refuge with her aunt and uncle in Baltimore. But life isn't perfect in the States, as the aunt (Kim Taylor) and uncle (Ned Oldham) are at the end of their marriage, and their college-student daughter Abby (Hannah Gross) is in crisis.
Director Matt Porterfield wrote the screenplay with Amy Belk, and the trailer shows something of a musical vibe to the story as many of the cast members are also musicians.
"I Used to Be Darker" plays in the Next section of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.

I have a VPS hosted server with Windows Server 2003 on which I installed WAMP server, it is working and I am able to access it by localhost and modify it's contents with no problems. Also I have a domain name, say "domain-name.com". My question is how can I make it accessible on the internet by typing my owned domain name in browser?
This is quite an open question, but here goes:
You'll have to set a DNS record that points to your server. Your domain registrar may offer a DNS services themselves. If they do not, and only allow you to set nameservers, have a look at http://dns.he.net (a free DNS hosting service). In the latter case, don't forget to configure the nameservers in your domain registrars panel to the HE DNS servers (ns1.he.net - ns5.he.net)!
The records you will have to add are as follows:
Additionally, while this is not part of the question - please don't use WAMP for public/production servers. WAMP was made for development server setups, and it will be configured as such. If you really can't set up a HTTPd+PHP+MySQL setup yourself, then at least have a look at XAMPP, which is more suitable for live servers.

Obama did not deny requests for help in Benghazi: Aide
By Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – 19 hrs ago
President Barack Obama talks with supporters after arriving in Manchester, N.H. for a campaign stop Saturday (Winslow …The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help from the besieged American compound in Benghazi, Libya, as it came under on attack by suspected terrorists on September 11th.
As Monty Python would say "And now for something completely different".
EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say
By Jennifer Griffin
Published October 26, 2012
Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command -- who also told the CIA operators twice to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.
Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to "stand down," according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to "stand down."
Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and made their way to the consulate which at that point was on fire. Shots were exchanged. The rescue team from the CIA annex evacuated those who remained at the consulate and Sean Smith, who had been killed in the initial attack. They could not find the ambassador and returned to the CIA annex at about midnight.
At that point, they called again for military support and help because they were taking fire at the CIA safe house, or annex. The request was denied. There were no communications problems at the annex, according those present at the compound. The team was in constant radio contact with their headquarters. In fact, at least one member of the team was on the roof of the annex manning a heavy machine gun when mortars were fired at the CIA compound. The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Spectre gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights.
CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood, though, denied the claims that requests for support were turned down.
"We can say with confidence that the Agency reacted quickly to aid our colleagues during that terrible evening in Benghazi," she said. "Moreover, no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. In fact, it is important to remember how many lives were saved by courageous Americans who put their own safety at risk that night-and that some of those selfless Americans gave their lives in the effort to rescue their comrades."
The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours -- enough time for any planes based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators.
Watch "Special Report Investigates: Benghazi -- New Revelations" on Fox News at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday, 3 p.m. on Sunday and 10 p.m. on Sunday.
A Special Operations team, or CIF which stands for Commanders in Extremis Force, operating in Central Europe had been moved to Sigonella, Italy, but they were never told to deploy. In fact, a Pentagon official says there were never any requests to deploy assets from outside the country. A second force that specializes in counterterrorism rescues was on hand at Sigonella, according to senior military and intelligence sources. According to those sources, they could have flown to Benghazi in less than two hours. They were the same distance to Benghazi as those that were sent from Tripoli. Spectre gunships are commonly used by the Special Operations community to provide close air support.
According to sources on the ground during the attack, the special operator on the roof of the CIA annex had visual contact and a laser pointing at the Libyan mortar team that was targeting the CIA annex. The operators were calling in coordinates of where the Libyan forces were firing from.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters at the Pentagon on Thursday that there was not a clear enough picture of what was occurring on the ground in Benghazi to send help.
"There's a lot of Monday morning quarterbacking going on here," Panetta said Thursday. "But the basic principle here ... is that you don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's going on."
U.S. officials argue that there was a period of several hours when the fighting stopped before the mortars were fired at the annex, leading officials to believe the attack was over.
Fox News has learned that there were two military surveillance drones redirected to Benghazi shortly after the attack on the consulate began. They were already in the vicinity. The second surveillance craft was sent to relieve the first drone, perhaps due to fuel issues. Both were capable of sending real time visuals back to U.S. officials in Washington, D.C. Any U.S. official or agency with the proper clearance, including the White House Situation Room, State Department, CIA, Pentagon and others, could call up that video in real time on their computers.
Tyrone Woods was later joined at the scene by fellow former Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, who was sent in from Tripoli as part of a Global Response Staff or GRS that provides security to CIA case officers and provides countersurveillance and surveillance protection. They were killed by a mortar shell at 4 a.m. Libyan time, nearly seven hours after the attack on the consulate began -- a window that represented more than enough time for the U.S. military to send back-up from nearby bases in Europe, according to sources familiar with Special Operations. Four mortars were fired at the annex. The first one struck outside the annex. Three more hit the annex.
A motorcade of dozens of Libyan vehicles, some mounted with 50 caliber machine guns, belonging to the February 17th Brigades, a Libyan militia which is friendly to the U.S., finally showed up at the CIA annex at approximately 3 a.m. An American Quick Reaction Force sent from Tripoli had arrived at the Benghazi airport at 2 a.m. (four hours after the initial attack on the consulate) and was delayed for 45 minutes at the airport because they could not at first get transportation, allegedly due to confusion among Libyan militias who were supposed to escort them to the annex, according to Benghazi sources.
The American special operators, Woods, Doherty and at least two others were part of the Global Response Staff, a CIA element, based at the CIA annex and were protecting CIA operators who were part of a mission to track and repurchase arms in Benghazi that had proliferated in the wake of Muammar Qaddafi's fall. Part of their mission was to find the more than 20,000 missing MANPADS, or shoulder-held missiles capable of bringing down a commercial aircraft. According to a source on the ground at the time of the attack, the team inside the CIA annex had captured three Libyan attackers and was forced to hand them over to the Libyans. U.S. officials do not know what happened to those three attackers and whether they were released by the Libyan forces.
Fox News has also learned that Stevens was in Benghazi that day to be present at the opening of an English-language school being started by the Libyan farmer who helped save an American pilot who had been shot down by pro-Qaddafi forces during the initial war to overthrow the regime. That farmer saved the life of the American pilot and the ambassador wanted to be present to launch the Libyan rescuer's new school.
Obama will be an "Ex Parrot"..As Monty Python would say
OK, comrades....We lost an ambassador and three (3) other brave Americans in Benghazi after Islamist jihadist terrorists attacked our consulate and then a supposedly-"SAFE" house. It was a cluster flukk.
Looking at the Big Picture in Libya:
1. Is Libya within our Sphere of Influence?
2. What leverage do our allies who are actually taking 70%+ of Libyan oil out of that desert nation have with whatever provisional government or tribes are operating in that place?
Excuse me, but I have had a oar in those waters. I CAN'T GET IN THE LIBYAN OIL GAME! Under the Gdaffi gang, it was pretty corrupt. Now it is free-for-all with no security or reliability. The Eurowimps are doing OK with their methods; some Americans are in and scared.
The world wants sweet Libyan oil. It is cheap to produce and a quick trip across the Med to Europe. We are on the margin. But we are the target!
Let's get some balance into this equation, even as our own energy production is ramping up. All IMHO.
Mr. Congeniality

As many as 2 million people have been paying premiums on payment protection insurance they don't need, can't use and may not even realise they have.
According to consumer watchdog Which?, as many as a third of policyholders who have taken out cover in the last five years may fall foul of at least one significant exclusion of the policy.
For example, people who are self-employed or on a fixed-term job contract often aren't covered by PPI.
Many people aged 65 and over, or people who might claim for absences relating to pre-existing medical conditions also may not be covered.
If you've ever taken out a loan, mortgage, credit card or store card, or bought something on credit, then the chances are you were sold payment protection insurance (PPI) at the same time.
PPI is designed to cover your debt repayments if you can't work through illness or accident, or if you are made redundant. However, all too often it is mis-sold, costing consumers thousands of pounds for expensive insurance they may never be able to claim on.
The consumer organisation is calling on consumers to check their policies and make a complaint if they discover they may have been mis-sold the product.
Doug Taylor, Which? personal finance campaigner, says: "We've always known that people were being mis-sold PPI, but we were still amazed to discover the scale of it. It appears that salespeople are chasing their commissions, their bosses are chasing profits - where's the sense of responsibility to the customer? Action is needed sooner rather than later to clean up the sale of PPI so that consumers truly understand the product they are buying or can opt out and take a product that actually provides them with real financial protection."

When the Capitals won the NHL's Southeast Division crown Tuesday night, it continued a trend in the area.
Jake Russell, a writer for TheHogs.net, noted on Twitter that in 205 days, three of the area's four teams in major professional sports leagues won division titles. The Nats are reigning National League East winners, the Redskins will go into 2013 defending their NFC East crown and now the Caps will raise their fifth Southeast banner in six seasons.
Yep, things are pointed up. If you can somehow manage to ignore the Wizards' start and finish, you can make a case that all four teams are moving the right way.
It's a start. Let's be clear on something, though: It is hardly a finish. Area sports fans have a right to be happy now. The happiness will fade if it never gets any better than this.
No one is going to erect a sign that says, "D.C., home to multiple division champs." Adam LaRoche will never say, "Hey, this is good enough. Getting to the World Series will just cut into my hunting time." RG3 will never say, "So what if we went one and done in the playoffs? We got in, didn't we?"
"A division title is something for a city to be proud of, but as players we come out to win the World Series," Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond really did say. "Winning the division brings people into the stands. It creates a buzz in the city. It boosts the economics in the city. It gets people excited.
"And that's great. I want the city to be excited about that. But as players, we strive for more."
As they should. That's why they save the ticker tape for the real deal. That's why the Capitals were so excited after beating Winnipeg on Tuesday to secure the division title — winning the division means they are in the playoffs and being in the playoffs means they have a chance to win the Stanley Cup.
"It's the Stanley Cup, that's the only thing that matters," Caps goalie Braden Holtby said. "This is a step in the right direction. But we have a lot more work to do."
The Caps have a little less wiggle room than the Skins or Nats. The Redskins hadn't been to the playoffs since 2007, so it is a little easier to forgive a first-round loss. The Nats had never been to the playoffs, had never finished with a winning record. Losing the division series to St. Louis was painful but, hey, brighter days are ahead (or so we're told).
This will be the Caps' sixth playoff appearance in a row and they haven't made it past the second round in that stretch. Last year's run to that point was a bit of a surprise and fun because it included a first-round knockout of defending Cup champion Boston. Going in as one of the league's hottest teams this year, more is expected. As it should be.
The Capitals have never won the Stanley Cup. Washington has a World Series championship, won so long ago (1924) that pretty much no one alive today remembers it. The Wizards were called the Bullets when they last won an NBA crown in 1978. The Redskins have a nice trophy case with three Super Bowl championship trophies but the last one was put there in 1992.
Yeah, it's been a while since this town has had a champion in one of the Big Four.
So let's not get greedy. If one of these teams can hang the real champions banner, it would be nice. Besides, it isn't often the same town gets to hang two.

moreTHE BRAND GAP is the first book to present a unified theory of brand-building. Whereas most books on branding are weighted toward either a strategic or creative approach, this book shows how both ways of thinking can unite to produce a "charismatic brand"—a brand that customers feel is essential to their lives. In an entertaining two-hour read you'll learn:
• the new definition of brand
• the five essential disciplines of brand-building
• how branding is changing the dynamics of competition
• the three most powerful questions to ask about any brand
• why collaboration is the key to brand-building
• how design determines a customer's experience
• how to test brand concepts quickly and cheaply
• the importance of managing brands from the inside
• 220-word brand glossary
From the back cover:
Not since McLuhan's THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE has a book compressed so many ideas into so few pages. Using the visual language of the boardroom, Neumeier presents the first unified theory of branding—a set of five disciplines to help companies bridge the gap between brand strategy and customer experience. Those with a grasp of branding will be inspired by the new perspectives they find here, and those who would like to understand it better will suddenly "get it." This deceptively simple book offers everyone in the company access to "the most powerful business tool since the spreadsheet."

I got called in for an interview with a manager. I was asked about my experience in accounting, when in reality the job deals more with paperwork for leases. It also involves calls from the brokers for updates. There's also a math skills test and an actual hands-on file on a lease for verification. I was the third highest candidate, so I got called immediately for a second interview with my prospective trainer. The first highest candidate was ruled out. I got an email a week later stating that I was not chosen. I sent the manager a thank you letter.

I talked with a manager and she asked me a few typical questions that had nothing to do with accounting. She set up my interview. I had one interview with them in which I was interviewed by two accounting managers. They were very nice and personable people. They asked me a long list of questions and we had a great discussion about them. I then had three tests I had to take, accounting, spelling, and excel. They were very easy. After this I waited about 3 weeks before they made me an offer. I still have not accepted or declined. They are only giving me 48 hours to make my decision.

Associate Accountant InterviewAccepted OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult Interview
The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at CBRE (Phoenix, AZ) in June 2008.
It was much too lengthy and cumbersome for a simple associate accountant position, you'd think they're interviewing for an executive position. They tell you what the pay is going to be up front, take it or leave it. I shouldve left it.
Interview Questions
- The recruiter always asks: tell me what the difference is between cash and accrual accounting, but the interviewer has no knowledge of acounting so it's pointless getting into detail. 1 Answer
No negotiation ability in this down market. They tell you what youre going to make and you have to accept it if you want a job in this economy.

Slow progress on cuts costs counicl dear
Posted: July 27, 2014|
Comments (0)
DELAYS introducing cuts are part of the reason county bosses are on course for a £4.6 million overspend.
Staffordshire County Council said a 'flexible approach' to making savings was likely to see the authority spend £2.25 million more than expected after the first quarter of the year.
This includes hold-ups in pulling out of running the county's youth centres.
The decision to give early years providers longer notice periods before ending contracts also looks as if it could prove to be costly.

I had never used an Estee Lauder product before, but I'd heard good things about their Double Wear line so I was excited to try this. My mom had purchased this powder and realized that she bought the wrong shade, so she let me have it. It's a perfect color match on me.
Although it's a powder foundation, I never use powders by themselves. I always use them to set my liquid foundations and combat shine. This stuff worked perfectly for that purpose. I use this over my BB cream or medium coverage foundation to get a little more coverage. One application is good for the day and I never have to reapply. It gives me an airbrushed look, too. I fell in love with this stuff immediately!
I love the texture of it. It's very fine milled and goes on so smooth. It comes with a sponge, but I prefer to use a kabuki brush because it gives a nicer and more even finish. I like that you can build this up to achieve fuller coverage without looking too cakey. A few other people seem to have issues with it oxidizing, but luckily I haven't had that problem and I've been using this powder for quite some time.
This is a great product! I am so happy that my mom passed this along to me instead of exchanging it, because it has become a staple of my makeup routine. It's a little pricey, but I can definitely see myself repurchasing this in the future. Now I'm curious about trying the infamous Double Wear liquid...

I bought this in bone which is the lightest colour available in the UK although I am shell in the liquid version. The liquid version I wore for years happily but as I have got older and my skin has dried out it has not been as successful at covering my skin. The skin on my cheeks is drier and heavy liquid foundation just coagulates there and brings the dryness to everyone's attention. I decided to try the powder. The coverage is a light to medium finish so not as heavy as the liquid. I would prefer a heavier coverage. The colour is not light enough but foundations rarely are for me. It is ideal for just patting over skin in the morning to even out skin tone and conceal minor blemishes but you still need to apply concealer. It doesn't matter if you go over an area again with the puff to improve cover as it just generally darkens the area if the powder is not a perfect colour match. I find it does not accentuate my dry patches and provides decent cover although I still need to spot conceal. It lasts all day on my face without oxidising apart from on my nose BUT my nose is such an oil well that is normal. What pleased me was it stayed on perfectly everywhere else and on my chin especially, no settling into fine lines. I wish the colour was lighter.

- $40 (purchased at Macy's)
- Reference Point: I usually use NC25 in MAC Studio Tech or Bare Beige08 in Bare Minerals Brightening Serum. Combination/Slightly Oily Skin
- Application Technique:Brush
1. This powder WILL OXIDIZE, was initially matched with 3W1 Tawny at the counter, walked around the mall for 1+ hours, when i returned to my car i noticed that the powder had oxidized...it looked like i had a lot of fake,orange tanner/bronzer all over my face.
2. Feels very heavy, after a few hours (2+ hours), face begins to feel very greasy
3. Color Match is vey difficult- W (warm shades) are very yellow, C (cool shades) are very pink, N (neutral shades) make skin appear ashy
* Rather expensive for a powder foundation, most likely will not re-purchase due to oxidation, difficulty with color matching, & how it feels on your skin after a few hours.

- nice and handy packaging
- didn't break me out
- 1N2 Ecru in the liquid foundation, but 1N2 Ecru powder version is WAY lighter
- sheer coverage and rubs off
- kinda chalky and cakey
- doesn't control oil long
Wouldn't really recommend this product. Kinda useless for me

Was so impressed with my Est�e Lauder Double Wear liquid foundation that I thought of buying EL Lucidity Powder after reading all the good reviews here in MUA. I decided to check the EL counter the other day in Rustan's Shangrila only to find out that Lucidity has been discontinued here in the Philippines. The SA suggested to get the Double Wear Stay in Place Powder Makeup as summer is approaching, she reasoned this can replace the liquid foundation for a really light coverage. I got the same shade as my liquid foundation, Rattan and the next day I decided to use this. After my moisturizer, I applied this using a stippling brush and boy, was I amazed to see that in spite it being in powder form, it still gave full coverage, as in it covered my freckles and some dark spots but felt so light as if not wearing makeup at all. It even got me through dinner and a show and I still looked glowing and fresh. I tried using it as a finishing powder over the liquid foundation and it also lasted from morning to night. What can I say, I've really found winners in Est�e Lauder. The only drawback to the powder is the price. You have to pay for the compact, which by the way is quite gorgeous, and the powder refill separately. Total cost is Pesos 3,500 or $78.00, which is quite a hefty price. I just would like to think that it would last a long time so I won't have to buy the refill soon.

Estee Lauder's Double Wear line is such high quality, and their pressed powder is no exception. The powder is very finely milled, which allows me to apply it as light or heavy as I please. And maybe its the milling, but it seems to last quite a bit longer than pressed powders usually last me.

Why did it take me so long to find a good, blendable and the correct color compact powder? This powder is absolutely fantastic! Fresco is an amazing color, I honestly believe it would suit most fair women. It covers but doesn;t cake, is not obvious and at the same time seems luminous. I highly and strongly suggest it as an everyday powder.

This product was horrible on my skin. I never suffered from any break out because of a beauty product - even when as I teenager was using the cheaper stuff - and I managed to get this from a �40 luxury product. I was looking for a good coverage powder - previously have been rotating between Mac and Clinique - and the Estee Lauder representative persuaded me to buy this.
Firstly - I didn't really see any great coverage. The product just sat on my face creating batches of colour, instead of providing any good coverage.
Secondly - within days my skin broke out. It was oily beyond belief and got spots.
I stopped using this straight away but at the time I thought that maybe it was just a coincidence. I decided to give it a chance a month later and got the exact same results (really annoying as it took me a while to rebalance my skin, the first time).
Straight to the bin (along with my �40 I guess). Never buying again.

I've been wearing MAC Studio Fix over different foundations since it first came out in the mid-eighties but ageing, redness and not being able to cover the broken veins around my nose led me to the EL counter at my local department store. The cosmetician there suggested I try this powder around my nose over my Double Wear concealer. Bingo! Beautiful staying power, at least four-five hours, and a perfect shade match (Fresco). I had recently started using Resilience Lift Extreme liquid foundation and the Double Wear concealer, and am incredibly pleased with the results. My skin looks flawless and still skin-like. The secret is thin, thin layers. I apply the foundation with my trusty beauty blender sponge, in a very light coat, the concealer with a tiny brush exactly where needed, as Lisa Eldridge demonstrates in her videos, and a light layer of the Double Wear Powder with a large brush. The first day I wore it, my (female) doctor said, "Wow, you look glowing!" I was sold :) The MAC powder went in the garbage! I do look young for my age (65 this month, almost no wrinkles). Most store clerks don't believe I qualify for the 55 senior discount, but I'm convinced this combo makes me look even better. I do have a few acne scars from years of breakouts, some broken veins, etc., but now that I've found such a good combination for hiding them, I'm not about to change. Yes, EL is on the high side of my normal price range, but I'm willing to pay a little more for the self-confidence it gives me. Having lived with the near-destruction of my self-esteem from hormonal acne as a teen, I'm really enjoying the compliments now.

1900-12-17 George Chrisp w co 14 (20) Harry Smith, Ginnett's Circus, Newcastle, England
1900-12-17 George Chrisp w co 14 (20) Harry Smith, Ginnett's Circus, Newcastle, England. Referee: Thomas Gale. Made at catchweights but given English heavyweight title billing locally, Chrisp (170) had not fought seriously since losing to the American, Frank Craig, in November 1898. Although Chrisp's blows had more venom than those of his opponent it was soon noticeable that Smith (167) was scoring more effectively as he began to build up a lead. By the third, with the pace being terrific it was hardly surprising that the men were already tiring. In the fifth, Chrisp, scoring heavily with uppercuts and swings to both head and body, was looking the stronger. Keeping up the momentum he had Smith groggy in the seventh, and although the latter was landing more he was struggling to keep clear of the punishment, especially to the body. Coming into the 13th, with Smith slowing considerably Chrisp picked up the pace before sending the Birmingham man to the floor following four heavy rights to the jaw. Gamely getting to his feet Smith was at the mercy of Chrisp before the bell came to his rescue, but he would not be so lucky in the 14th when a terrific left hook to the jaw saw him smashed to the floor and counted out.
With Jack Scales not that highly thought of as an English title claimant, Chrisp immediately put in a claim of his own.
