Released: Jun 01st, 2006
Running Time: 149
Director: Steven Angelo
Company: Harmony Films
Distribution Companies: Evil Angel
Cast: Simone Diamond, Tony de Sergio DELETED, Eva Angelina, Olivier (I), James (I), Poppy Morgan, Dora Venter, Libellue, Marco Duato, Zoltan, Stacy Silver
Critical Rating: AAAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
At this European hacienda, well-heeled, slightly kinky hedonists engage in debauchery to their hearts content. With its beautiful-people clientele and sunny setting (probably a Mediterranean location), it looks like a really fun place to be.
As a new guest, dark-haired Simone Diamond, checks in, the desk clerk — Euro star Stacy Silver in nylons and heels — sits on the face of bound and gagged Tony De Sergio, then blows him. He shoots on the white shirt covering her ample tits.
America's own Eva Angelina, the girl with the most English, has what there is of dialogue. She finds James dozing on the patio and wakes him up with a hand job, followed by a dry hump, blowjob and reverse cowgirl on his dick. Hot scene.
The most unusual scene is a post-dining orgy. After lunch at a long table, Poppy Morgan is passed around for dessert. Each guest takes his or her turn with her — very civilized — eating pussy, finger-fucking, taking blowjobs. Then they call in muscular Marco Duato to finish the job with a tabletop buttfuck. It's an exquisitely erotic scene, the kind that might have been shot in the Golden Age by Henry Paris or Cecil Howard.
The whole movie is elegantly staged and beautifully photographed, but with very hard sex, including a double vag by Eurasian treat Libellue, the climax to a long d.p. session with three men. (She is very into it.) It's more skillful than the standard Porn Valley wall to waller and without the hard surfaces and by-the-numbers sex of so much of the Private product.
Hardest scene is a five-man gangbang of Euro blonde Dora Venter. She starts out slowly, blowing each guy, then picks up the pace until they're all fucking her hard. Anals, double dick sucking, plus lots of d.p.s, with the guys trading off in the gaping top hole.
After that, Simone wakes during the night and starts fucking James on the patio. Marco and Dora join in, with Simone doing the anal and Dora the A2M. The new guest leaves the hacienda with a smile on her face.
Pre-noms: Best Foreign All-Sex Release. Best Director, Foreign Release. Best Foreign Shot Sex Scene: Eva Angelina and James. Lunch Table Orgy: Poppy Morgan and Cast. Gang Bang: Dora Venter, Tony De Sergio, Marco Duato, James, Olivier, Zoltan. Best Videography.
Retailing: Unusual in its appeal to a wide range of customers, from couples to hard-sex fans.

A Barack Obama administration proposed rule lays out for contractors the basic factors in safeguarding information systems that contain unclassified government data.
The administration's proposal would require a contract clause that would oblige the contractor to provide protective measures to information provided by or generated for the government. A system includes a public computer or website, or a system that transmits electronic information, as well as voice and fax data.
As a result, the rule would not allow companies to process government information on public computers. Instead, they have to opt for the best technology and processes with the greatest security to transmit information. The rule requires one physical lock and one electronic barrier to information as well as a cleansing of a media device's information before the device is released externally or disposed of.
The rule was published in the Federal Register on Aug. 24. The proposal would amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
This proposed rule applies to all federal contractors and appropriate subcontractors regardless of size or business ownership.
Officials say the cost will not be significant, since the first-level protective measures, such as updated virus protection, are typically part of the routine course of doing business.
Regulators also recognize that without the rule, the government would suffer reduced system performance and potential loss of valuable information.
"The cost of not using basic information technology system protection measures would be a significant detriment to contractor and government business," according to the proposal.
Officials are accepting comments on the proposal through Oct. 23.

No need for a rule. FISMA has always mandated contractors who process, store, transmit or disseminate information on behalf of the government must be FISMA compliant.

It is referred to as the first real celebrity homemade sex video, started by the black sensation of the 70's, miss Jayne Kennedy. This sex tape was made in the late '70s by Jayne Kennedy and Leon Isaac Kennedy, her husband, known for their roles in blaxploitation titles and television. It is notorious for featuring comparatively extreme sex acts, particularly its scene of fisting while an oldies station faintly plays in the background.
It is a vintage and exclusive celebrity sex video, kind of an ancestor to the Pamela Anderson sex tape, One Night In Paris and the Kim Kardashian Superstar sex videos.
The Jayne Kennedy vintage sex collection is a real piece of history, it was one of the first widely distributed sex tapes featuring a public person. Its quality, of course, its sort of a dinosaur video format, and making copies of that analog video format makes it hard to get a clean sight at Jayne Kennedy's pink pussy: She is very hairy in this sex video, though.
rn Why was Jayne Kennedy a big sensation? Y'all wonder. Jayne Kennedy was the first Black Miss Ohio, the first female NFL reporter, the first Black woman Playboy put on their cover so Jayne Kennedy really was a big deal at the time.
rn Jayne was crowned Miss Ohio USA 1970 (she was the first African American woman to win the title), and was one of the 10 semi-finalists in the 1970 Miss USA pageant. It was rare for an African American woman at that time to be in the contest. While starting her modeling career, she met Leon Isaac Kennedy, who was a DJ and a struggling actor/writer. They fell in love and married in 1970. Motown's Smokey Robinson served as best man at the wedding. They moved to California to pursue careers in acting. In 1978, she was one of the first women to infiltrate the male-dominated world of sports announcing with a role on NFL Today.
rn Jayne Kennedy and Leon Kennedy were divorced in 1982; she married actor Bill Overton in 1985.

Skip to comments.Rep. Murtha Working With Code Pink to Undermine Morale of Wounded at Walter Reed
Posted on 01/10/2006 5:59:25 PM PST by kristinn
click here to read article
I'm guessing Ole Murtha has (blue) Balls~~
Or perhaps yellow?
International Women's Day?
Where did they get the Iraqi women's signatures?
Did they consult with women like THIS ONE?
These assinine mental patients are worse than the terrorists that do the actions. They fund, assist and lie to support them.
My Tagline says it all.
Sent him a message via his website.
But at least the Canadians get it...Not.
I will get that book. Thanks.
Canada isn't the only ones that don't get it. This is our own Atlanta, GA.
Vacation Bible School is a rite of summer throughout the American southeast. In the Bible Belt of the deep south, a couple of weeks after school lets out, the elementary school aged kids flock to their churches for a week of Bible Stories, crafts, and fun.
Its changed a little since I was a child; some churches now schedule the sessions in the evenings to accommodate working parents. The curriculum has been jazzed up a little, and often they have themes like and even mascots. But for the most part, Vacation Bible School is still the same thing that many of us experienced as children.
You probably wouldnt be surprised to hear that there is an Islamic equivalent.
I had the opportunity to spend an evening last week at one of these sessions, and I was amazed at what is being taught in this country to children between the ages of 5 and 10. The differences between a Vacation Bible School and the Islamic Summer Study Week were apparent from the moment I entered the door, starting with the dress code.
The youngsters at this Atlanta-area Islamic Center were required to wear Islamic dress, even though the air conditioning was only functioning at a minimal level and the temperature during the days rose into the high 80s. The boys were clearly more comfortable that the girls; they wore navy pants, and white t-shirts or white polo shirts. Some of the boys wore longer, knee-length navy shorts.
I expressed surprise that the young girls especially were willing to wear the hijab, and the director suggested I ask some of the kids to explain their reasons.
Selwa, a cute little five year old with blonde curls escaping from under the headscarf to frame her face, told me I like to wear it. My mommy wears it too. I asked her what she liked about it. Her blue eyes were wide as she exclaimed Cause then bad men wont kidnap me and hurt me.
She told the kids how to determine when it was appropriate to shout Allah Akbar: intimes of great joy, when someone is martyred, or when the Zionists or Kafirs are attacked. She introduced a video, in Arabic, showing scenes from the West Bank, and told the kids to shout Allah Akbar when they thought they should.
The kids quickly got the message that when something blew up, or an Israeli soldier was shot that they should shout Allah Akbar. I expressed my concern to Tiffani about children so young being exposed to such violent scenes. Tiffani/Amina assured me that the kids had been watching similar videos since they were two years old, and that they werent disturbed in the slightest by them.
Sure enough the boys were playing jihad. While I watched from the sidelines, the boys drew lots to see who would act as the American airplane. The loser had to pretend he was an American airplane flying around, and then the other boys pretended to attack it by throwing Nerf balls. The airplane fell to the ground, and the other boys pounced on it. The airplane turned into a pilot and the boys captured him. They stood him against a wall, and formed a pretend firing squad. Instead of toy guns, the boys used their multifunctional Nerf balls to execute their prisoner, all the while yelling Allah Akbar.
The male teachers, most of whom were in their twenties, stood over at the side of the playground talking to each other, not paying any attention to the activities in which their students were engaged.
I noticed one boy standing over not to far from where I was standing, holding a box against his face. He appeared to be watching the other boys intently. I asked him, in English, what he was doing.
His answer? Im the camera man. Im taping them.
(more at link)
Here's my version, posted on the original thread to their announcement:
Let's do something historic. Let's make 2006 the year we end the the treason in America, and let's join together with women and men from every corner of America to do it!
TODAY, January 5th, I am launching a new campaign called "Americans Say No to Traitors" to bring together US women and men. Our purpose? To tell our leaders - and the world - that American women and men have had enough of the traitorous words and actions in America and we want the traitors to leave America now.
This effort could be truly historic but to succeed, we need your help:
Please FReep the traitors call TODAY: Go to http://www.womensaynotowar.org.
Then forward this call to everyone you can think of in America.
(To forward the Call, cut and paste from below or click here)
Help organize a FReep of the traitors March 8 or join FReepers in Washington DC.
Mark your calendars for Mother's Day, when we'll launch a vigil outside the White House to keep the momentum going to stop the traitors in 2006.
Please join them - and us - in a sending a powerful message that Americans have said "Enough!"
Spread the word -- forward this email to your FRiends!
Women's Call for Peace: An Urgent Appeal
We, the women and men of the United States, have had enough of traitorous words and actions and the cruel attacks on our military around the world. We've buried too many of our loved ones. We've seen too many lives crippled forever by physical and mental wounds. We've watched in horror as our precious resources are poured into dividing the United States while our military's basic needs of support go unmet. We've had enough of seeing the growing cancer of hatred and intolerance seep into our homes and communities.
This is not the world we want for ourselves or our children. With fire in our bellies and love in our hearts, we are rising up to unite and demand an end to the destruction of our country.
We have seen how the works of John Kerry have fueled a movement against it, perpetuating an endless cycle. We are convinced that it is time to shift to model that includes the following elements:
The withdrawal of all traitors from America;
The full representation of the peacemaking process and a commitment to that process;
To move this peace process forward, we are creating a massive movement of women and men - crossing generations, races, ethnicities, religions, borders and political persuasions. Together, we will pressure our government to step forward. And in this era of divisive fundamentalisms, we call upon leaders to join us in spreading the fundamental values of love for the human family and for our precious planet.
I don't know. I can't find any references as to why he received any medals....
Also, see my post
Code Pink is no joke. They actively support our enemies in Iraq. These women playing cutesy games should be taught a lesson by the Justice Department.
Oh no, these people have got to be stopped.
It will not be until their own children are being abused by terrorists for them to wake up, maybe not even then.
Even animals have the instinct to save their own offspring.
They are more lowly than animals...(no sarcasm)
"'DC CODEPINK along with other peace groups involved in the weekly vigil at Walter Reed recently delivered baskets of goodies to the wounded at Walter Reed."
WTF? I'm curious what kinds of 'goodies' they delivered."
Probably sent the "DIE" card to Joshua Sparling.
They disgust me.
watch the video at http://capitalnews.org/ under "most watched..." ...rto
Why would ANYONE be exempt from security and screening at Walter Reed? I would feel better knowing they have rules that every visitor must adhere to and procedures that every employee must follow.
Every patient has the right to determine who their visitors will or will not be. If they are too incapacitated to make that list, the family has the right. For example, typically patients in ICU have a visitors' list and anyone not on the list may not visit them.
It is not possible to walk in to any major hospital that I know of and impose oneself or one's "gifts" on patients not previously known to the visitor. I would hope that it is even less possible at WR.
This article has got me worried along the lines of WR security.
Where are his constituents, and the republican party contacts in his district? He needs defeat badly.
I'd like to know when..
Troops rock, Code Pink stinks! Bump.
Ditto. Murtha is a disgusting traitor.
Semper Fi
Beyond despicable... What happened to this man to destroy his judgement so?
I covered it when I called.
Murtha is a bag of scum, douche, and pus mixed together.
Let's hear it for America's best-known FORMER marine!
Does that walking cuckoo clock have an email address?
Rhetorical question: Why is not treason punished in this country?
Non-rhetorical answer: because at the moment the list is mighty long.
Great work. You are da bombette. Thanks for the inspiration, as usual.
Spread the word, Murtha has met with Terrorist Financers.
Murtha Meets with terrorist Financers to plan strategy.
Murtha is a "Pinko"
Methinks there is some misrepresentation afoot?
#160 is a most excellent post.
Thank you, good idea.
You must be a very proud mother, lucky to have a Marine for a son.
Hug him for me.
Yes, they should be watched and voted out of office.
I am very sorry that I did not preview it, when posting, when I goof, it is always a large one.
If you have nightmares from the womens list, look at the one in my sig line, commies coming out of the woodwork.
I hear women call the talk shows in the west, that have to be members of code pink.
you got that right
These names are very interesting. I wonder how many of these associations are on the receiving end of government or UN grants other funds. I just did a basic reformat for my own records, but I do not have the patience to add any html for highlighting purposes. There are women in Iraq and Iran on this list!!! I wonder how many actually believe that GWB and the US military are the Great Satan?
Dear friends, We received this today from a member of the U.S. women's group CODEPINK that opposes the U.S. war in Iraq. Please consider signing it. Hoping for a better year, Rela
Murtha has totally gone 'round the bend. Completely, totally, mad. Kind of like, uh.... Cindy Sheehan
You're welcome.
I try not to be too proud : )
I'll hug him for ya, alright!
"Methinks there is some misrepresentation afoot?"
It sure does make one wonder, doesn't it, perhaps Kerry's office has some information.
Thanks, and feel free to give 160 a 380 : )
Some news about Mr. Sparling, eh? Saw a report on the news tonight about a guy who lost half his skull from an IED and the incredible reconstruction done at WR. His parents were with him, and I thought about Mr. Sparling again. I can't help but wonder how on earth these families do this?!

The old man is senile.
Is Code Pink actually stupid enough to announce that it donated $650,000 to a terrorist group? And why haven't they been prosecuted?
I assume they gave the money to a "charity" run by Islamist terrorists.
Yes I can! And more people should.
Thank you for fixing the mess that I posted.

Highest-paid SSS executive: A foundling of cronyism and patronage
The Aquino administration knows no other way to manage and do things than by patronage and cronyism. Every time there is an appointment to be made, Aquino turns to a crony.

Harry "The Iraq war is lost" Reid: Republicans need to stop rooting for failure
posted at 6:36 pm on March 5, 2010 by Allahpundit
A choice snippet from his floor speech this afternoon accusing Republicans of having mischaracterized what he said about this morning about America's big 36,000-jobs-lost day.
And while the majority leader said that February's job losses were "undeniably devastating," Reid argued that job losses were much less than they could have been had Democrats not acted with their stimulus measures over the past year.
But Reid also lashed out at Republicans who've opposed many of those policies, accusing them of rooting for the economy's failure for their own political game.
"And I warn them, once again, that this country has no place and no patience for those who root for failure," Reid said to the GOP.
If this country had no patience for people like that, his ass would have been tossed ages ago. Not because he once thought the war was lost — a lot of people thought that — but because he insisted upon it, occasionally in the most reptilian political terms, in ways that few others did. Everyone remembers him declaring defeat but few people remember this, from 2007:
Senior Democrats are calculating that if they keep the pressure on, eventually more Republicans will jump ship and challenge the president — or lose their seats to Democratic contenders…
Added Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.: "We're going to pick up Senate seats as a result of this war."
That's not all. After Bush ordered the surge, Dingy had to cope with the prospect that it might work. His solution? Simply refuse to believe Petraeus if he came back with good news. A few months later he supposedly told a conference call of nutroots bloggers that Petraeus and Peter Pace were incompetent, just in case they were inclined to start believing the reports of progress too. As late as December 2007, after it was already widely accepted that the surge had begun to turn things around, he was still arguing to the contrary. And why not? There were Senate seats at stake, after all.
Via Greg Hengler, here's a mash-up of this tool's hypocrisy in action. Honestly, I'm starting to come around to Michael Roston's position: Between his rhetorical miscues and his mismanagement of the caucus, we really can't afford to beat this guy this year. He's too valuable to us. Reid in 2010!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Not knowing that this is a bad mistake — or maybe a massive bug in Windows 8 — I shared my complete user folder using Home Group on Windows 8 Pro x64. This changed the permissions for
C:\Users\<username>\AppData and as a consequence of that, all Windows 8 apps failed. If I try to start one of them now, the full-screen app icon shows up for a couple of seconds followed by a force-close of the app.
I did some research and found that my sharing of the user folder apparently caused this problem. I also found that adding specific permissions for
ALL_APPLICATION_PACKAGES for the folder
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER and a
.dat file in a "Temporary Internet Files" folder should fix it, but it didn't, just like issuing
sfc /scannow.
As I'm really not too keen on reinstalling my machine, do you have any advice on how to fix the permissions problem to make the apps work again?

Many hospital outbreaks of tuberculosis have occurred in recent years in the United States, resulting in tuberculosis infection and disease among health care workers and patients.Several hospital workers have died of nosocomially acquired multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Assuring the safety of the health care worker with respect to tuberculosis has become an urgent priority. A review of the medical literature of the past 100 years reveals that our current view of tuberculosis care as an occupational hazard emerged only in the 1950s, after a fierce and extensive debate. Many authorities had felt that care of the tuberculous patient conferred a health advantage to the care provider. This paper reviews this debate and considers steps taken decades ago, before our current environmental interventions were available to ensure the safety of the health care worker.
Physicians and surgeons have very low risk, prompting the author to suggest the occupational hazard of caring for the tuberculous was minimal. Adapted with permission from Brahdy .
Decrease began in 1951 with the institution of a mandatory admission chest radiograph for all patients. Adapted with permission from Jacobson and colleagues .

no. bad agency. just because you can polish a turd until it sparkles doesn't mean you should.
(although, your retoucher gets a pass because he REALLY polished that turd (that moon surface & tire track looks great)).

~ Quite obviously, I have gathered no moss ! ~
+1 for EGGO. My thoughts exactly. If they're trying to emulate the first "steps" on the moon, it's way too obscure for that.
I don't think I'm ever going to understand Chinese people.
The more I stare at it, the more it pisses me off.
I really want to go crash my 96 Cherokee into the person who made this.
I like the concept...if only they make the tire marks continuously or bleded from corner to corner than going only in one spot... nice job....

Yelling in a echo chamber does not make a scandal. I've yet to see a shred of proof that the President or the Secretary of state are either culpable of events in Libya or have attempted to cover anything up. There is however plenty of evidence of malfeasance by Republican members of Congress and the media, particularly fox news in regards to this.
"I've yet to see a shred of proof that the President or the Secretary of state are either culpable of events in Libya or have attempted to cover anything up."
In Pickering's report it isn't the criticism that is so damning, but the recommendations. The progression of the revisions in the talking points memo does seem to indicate a strong desire to avoid expressing any responsibility for security shortcomings.
That's no proof of any wrongdoing by anyone in the administration. I read the article in question and it seems to be filled with the opinion of the author and not much else. Once again all sizzle and no steak. This is a Republican obsession, but if the Republican Party wants this nonstory to be the hill they die on much as Mitt Romney did before the last election I say they should keep right on going. But how do you think that the American public is going to react to Congress spending all of its time endlessly rehashing this issue when there are real problems in the country that need to be addressed. I must say that if you get what you seem to want here it will be very good election night in 2014 for the Democratic Party.
The President's comments in the Rose Garden the morning after the attack. You and Mitt Romney both forgot about that. That more or less destroyed any chance that Mitt had in the election, as if he ever really stood a chance. Thank you for allowing me to bring up one of the greatest debate screw ups of all time. I would suggest that you do more than repeat RWNJ talking points.
Yes, your hatred of the Democratic Party is all the proof you need. I forgot that it's unfair of me to argue facts and logic against your opinion.
Does that report also allow for Congress cutting the funds for diplomatic security? A House of Representatives that cut the funds in order to make the current president look bad (their ONLY goal, certainly NOT to serve the people of the USA!) regardless of the negative consequences to the people of the USA, and the incredibly brave people that serve in our diplomatic core?
And in the meantime, 4 families still have no answers as to why or how or whose fault it was that their loved ones died senselessly. While you're debating politics, think about them!
" A House of Representatives that cut the funds in order to make the current president look bad…"
To me that argument is purely political and specious. The House is Republican. The Senate is Democratic. The President is Democratic. All three had to OK that cut in funds. Also, the Pickering report does not excuse the fund cut for the denial of security in Benghazi, and does make some recommendations.
The criticism of the State Department is as much in the report's recommendations as any where else.
"5. The Department should develop minimum security standards for occupancy of temporary facilities in high risk, high threat environments, and seek greater flexibility for the use of Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) sources of funding so that they can be rapidly made available for security upgrades at such facilities."
"The support cell should work to expedite the approval and funding for establishing and operating the post, implementing physical security measures, staffing of security and management personnel, and providing equipment, continuing as conditions at the post require.Contingency Operations funding to respond to emerging security threats and vulnerabilities and operational requirements in high risk, high threat posts.
The following incidents are listed in the report:
• March 18, 2012 – Armed robbery occurs at the British School in Benghazi.
• March 22, 2012 – Members of a militia searching for a suspect fire their weapons near the SMC and attempt to enter.
• April 2, 2012 – A UK armored diplomatic vehicle is attacked after driving into a local protest. The vehicle was damaged but occupants uninjured.
• April 6, 2012 – A gelatina bomb (traditional homemade explosive device used for fishing) is thrown over the SMC north wall.
• April 10, 2012 – An IED (gelatina or dynamite stick) is thrown at the motorcade of the UN Special Envoy to Libya in Benghazi.
• April 26, 2012 – Special Mission Benghazi principal officer is evacuated from International Medical University (IMU) after a fistfight escalated to gunfire between Tripoli-based trade delegation security personnel and IMU security.
• April 27, 2012 – Two South African nationals in Libya as part of U.S.-funded weapons abatement, unexploded ordnance removal and demining project are detained at gunpoint by militia, questioned and released.
• May 22, 2012 – Benghazi International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) building struck by rocket propelled grenades (RPGs).
• May 28, 2012 – A previously unknown organization, Omar Abdurrahman group, claims responsibility for the ICRC attack and issues a threat against the United States on social media sites.
• June 6, 2012 – IED attack on the SMC. The IED detonates with no injuries but blows a large hole in the compound's exterior wall. Omar Abdurrahman group makes an unsubstantiated claim of responsibility.
• June 8, 2012 – Two hand grenades target a parked UK diplomatic vehicle in Sabha (800 km south of Benghazi).
• June 11, 2012 – While in Benghazi, the British Ambassador's convoy is attacked with an RPG and possible AK-47s. Two UK security officers are injured; the UK closes its mission in Benghazi the following day.
• June 12, 2012 – An RPG attack is made on the ICRC compound in Misrata (400 km west of Benghazi).
• June 18, 2012 – Protestors storm the Tunisian consulate in Benghazi.
• July 29, 2012 – An IED is found on grounds of the Tibesti Hotel.
• July 30, 2012 – Sudanese Consul in Benghazi is carjacked and driver beaten.
• July 31, 2012 – Seven Iranian-citizen ICRC workers abducted in Benghazi.
• August 5, 2012 – ICRC Misrata office is attacked with RPGs. ICRC withdraws its representatives from Misrata and Benghazi.
• August 9, 2012 – A Spanish-American dual national NGO worker is abducted from the Islamic Cultural Center in Benghazi and released the same day.
• August 20, 2012 – A small bomb is thrown at an Egyptian diplomat's vehicle parked outside of the Egyptian consulate in Benghazi.
Under these circumstances, using funding as an excuse to not supply Benghazi with security is disingenuous.You could yell at me in caps if you desire, but you will not convince me that State was not negligent or criminally negligent for not supplying more security, let alone reducing security. If State had so desired, funds could have been made available for Benghazi.
The photos in the 'toon just remind me of the thousands of IEDs and destroyed American equipment, and American lives, in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yup, nothing for "W"s folks to cover up. Oh, right, they had no warnings before 9/11/01, but still took action to prevent the attacks on New York and D.C., which of course, never happened…
dtrout: what'd anybody try to cover up? I don't remember Bush blowing anything off; he never said something pathetic like "What difference does it make?"
Don't hit the girl, and don't blame the black guy. Especially liberal girls and black guys.
If the Republicans had not blocked funding for embassy security this would never have happened. Issa voted against money for security.
Not politicizing the deaths seems a little shallow with this cartoon. Since I'd rather see someone else other than Ms. Clinton or Mr. Biden run in 2016, the cartoon means little to me. This MAY be an issue involving the administration, but until there is more concrete info, I would like to see these cartoonists addressing Congress's failure to do their jobs while soliciting donations. I would also like to see some of the comments made by both R and D representatives this past week given more artistic attention.
I hope you folks write your Senators and Congressmen.
& Happy Mothers's Day!

What was your favorite bargain?
I loved it when Amazon had those coupons for dollars off or percents off (20 or 30 I think) diapers and baby items. It was awesome because the coupons worked for cloth diapers, not just sposies! I was getting really nice pocket diapers for under $5 each! DD is still wearing them and I bought them and when she's done, I'll be able to sell them for more than I paid for them!
I also always do Gymboree classes on a Groupon. The current one in my area is $29 for 4 weeks. My DS is going to take a class that is normally $114 for $29!

Is there a tool replacing javadoc with something that is more Wiki-style syntax instead of the HTMLish syntax of normal JavaDoc?
One of my problems is that I mostly read JavaDoc in source form. Even for external libraries I try to have the source attached so I can navigate into it from my IDE, checking the documentation above the entry point and if necessary the code below.
The other problem is that things like lists and code samples are messy to write, especially if your IDE insists on putting stars on every line. What I would like to see is something that uses a kind of Wiki syntax with at least the following features:
- lists
- code blocks
- crosslinking to methods/classes
There are many more things that would be nice, but I believe these are the essentials.
Does anyone know of such a tool?

This is a wonderful peanut brittle recipe! I have made 4 batches to use as Christmas gifts and am thrilled to have found this recipe. A few notes.. The first batch I made, I thought the sugar was NEVER going to dissolve! I was in a bit of a hurry and am impatient. : ) I heated on medium heat and it still turned out terrific. I just watched it much closer. After adding my butter, soda and vanilla, I cook to the desired color I want for my peanut brittle being careful not to scorch or burn. (Takes constant stirring) Even though this is very easy to make, be careful when allowing children to assist. A bit of the peanut brittle dripped onto my hand while pouring onto the pan and I suffered a VERY painful burn. Everyone has enjoyed this peanut brittle and really brags about how good it tastes. I am very happy with this recipe and it will be a keeper for my family.

Dark clouds gather as Yessa walks to her brother's place, telling a story as she goes about the early days of the earth; and the animals follow her two by two to listen. Sister Yessa begins a long journey to her brother's place, anxious to beat the rain certain to pour from the ominous gray sky. She lures all sorts of creatures to accompany her by telling a story - the tale of the Great Turtle, who once trod the earth, carrying all the world's beasts on his enormous carapace and releasing each into its proper habitat. Yessa's entourage grows steadily as the Great Turtle's strength diminishes, and the ending comes as a perfect surprise: Yessa's brother is Noah and the animals she has gathered are destined to enter the ark. Features on each page include image and word association vocabulary builder - when an image is touched the associated word is spoken and the written word displayed and Karaoke effect - when a word is spoken during narration then the word is highlighted.More

BARREN COUNTY, Ky. (WBKO) Barren River Lake is a hot vacation spot this Memorial Day weekend.
"Mother Nature's working with us. As long as we have that three or four days calling for pretty weather in front of the weekend or the holiday, then you'll pick up at lot more people," said Wayne Shelton, the manager at Barren River Lake State Park Marina.
Already on Friday, people were getting into their boats and onto the water.
One woman will take hers out for the first time since buying it.
"It's a pontoon and this weekend's going to be wonderful," said Anne Barnett, who was at the park from Louisville.
Shelton says the water is good this year and boaters are welcome.
"We're running about three feet above summer pool. That doesn't hurt us really, just gives us more lake to run in."
However, he says boaters need to keep a close eye on what's in front of them.
"As the lake comes up, it picks up logs and stuff and debris off the banks and puts it into the water," Shelton said.
After a day spent on the water, many of the lake's visitors will be staying at the lodge.
"Our booking pace started early, and folks are just ready to come and get the summer started after such a bad winter," said Lisa Davis, the Park Resort's manager.
Davis says the guests keep coming back because the park has a lot to offer.
"Being on the lake, horseback riding, 18-hole golf course, so people can come out here and stay and do a number of things," Davis said.
She and Shelton agree summer business is starting off strong this year, and they hope the trend continues through the season.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Inside Out' and 'Jurassic World' Take Down 'Ted 2'
When Universal scheduled Ted 2, they surely had no idea that Seth MacFarlane's swearing teddy bear sequel would be squaring off against one of the biggest box office juggernauts of all time...a juggernaut that they themselves had created. So it's not surprising that Jurassic World topped the box office again and it's not surprising that Pixar's Inside Out held onto second place. What is a little surprising is how low Ted 2 opened, falling significantly short of its predecessor's opening weekend.
'Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation' Trailer: Tom Cruise Almost Dies Multiple Times For Your Viewing Pleasure
No one has ever been shy about putting Tom Cruise's apparent death wish front and center whenever it's time to promote a new Mission: Impossible movie. Like with previous entries in the series, most of the chatter surrounding Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation has revolved around the myriad of ways the franchise's leading man put his life on the line for our entertainment. The new trailer puts many of his craziest stunts front and center, including that still-jaw-dropping shot of Cruise clinging to the the side of an airplane as it takes off. The movie's message is clear: this man almost died for you. Reward him with strong box office receipts.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Inside Out' and 'Jurassic World' Battle It Out
Here's how crazy this weekend is: Pixar's Inside Out had the biggest opening for an original, non-sequel of all time...and it still came in second to Jurassic World's second weekend. There's literally nothing to ashamed of here. Sure, it may be the first time a Pixar movie hasn't opened in first place, but the only reason it didn't open in first place is because it was dueling 2015's greatest juggernaut. These two are worthy opponents and both are victors.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'San Andreas' Shakes Everything Up

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Tomorrowland' and 'Poltergeist' Struggle Against the Mighty 'Pitch Perfect 2'
Tomorrowland may have taken the top spot at the box office in its debut weekend, but things still look awfully grim for the George Clooney sci-fi vehicle. Not only did the film open far below expectations, it faced serious competition in Pitch Perfect 2, which continued to kick aca-butt in its second weekend. And it wasn't the only new release to under-perform, with the Poltergeist remake also falling short of early predictions. If you were a new release this weekend, things were awfully rough.
New 'Pixels' Trailer Pits Adam Sandler Against Video Game Aliens
It's no secret that Pixels began its life as a short film, a special effects demo that showed off some inventive and amusing imagery that wasn't required to have things like, you know, a plot or characters. So the feature version of Pixels had to find an excuse for classic arcade characters to invade Earth and that excuse was aliens. Who look like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong for some reason. And whose greatest opponent is Adam Sandler. Okay. The new trailer isn't going to change your mind if that premise still sounds like nails on a chalkboard.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Pitch Perfect 2' Takes Charge and 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Gives Chase
In one weekend, Pitch Perfect 2 has handily outgrossed the entire run of its predecessor, proving that you should never underestimate a sleeper hit that steadily grows an army of dedicated followers through the power of Blu-ray and DVD. Right below it, Mad Max: Fury Road opened to respectable numbers that will look disastrous to anyone who doesn't pay attention to the details. Let's dive in.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Has the Second Biggest Opening of All Time
There's a bizarre narrative floating around the internet: Avengers: Age of Ultron is already a disappointment because it didn't open higher than The Avengers in its first weekend. This seems to be ignoring the fact that The Avengers had the biggest opening of all time and Avengers: Age of Ultron now has the second biggest opening of all time, which is nothing to scoff at. Sure, the sequel may not match the numbers of the first movie in the end, but it's already well on the way to becoming one of the biggest movies of the year. And of all time.
'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Trailer Breaks Records With 88 Million Views
If there were any lingering doubts about the popularity of Star Wars in the year 2015, Star Wars Celebration killed them. Ruthlessly. When the the live-streamed panel for Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiered the second trailer for J.J. Abrams' wildly anticipated sequel, you could feel the internet quiver and shake underneath the weight of the hype. It was a staggering event that made the next few geek-friendly trailers released in the following days feel like small potatoes in comparison. And yes, this hyperbole is backed up by raw numbers: the second trailer for The Force Awakens shattered the record for most trailer views in 24 hours.
SNL Puts a Face on Adult Diapers With "Depend Legends"
SNL is always so good at creating eerily realistic fake advertisements for products that will never, ever exist unless humanity truly goes insane, and the show's Depend Legends sketch is no exception. There is no way anyone is every going to want to own adult diapers that have images of famous figures from history and popular culture printed on them, but this ad makes that reality feel a little too real.

Hell's Kitchen hosting beef jerky competition
At least a dozen samples of jerky--possibly even one made out of tofu!--will be on hand at Hell's Kitchen Monday night for the restaurant's First Annual Jerky Competition, and the first 140 people to show up will get a chance to try it.
Why jerky? In addition to being a jerky nut herself, Hell's Kitchen co-owner Cynthia Gerdes says she cemented the idea after noticing an East Coast trend of bars selling out of small batches of jerky within hours. "Hell's Kitchen is going to start offering 'small batch' jerky soon, and we thought this would be a great way to find out what's out there as well as possibly find a few great little vendors," she says.
Entrants will fall into two categories, about equally divided between individuals and restaurants--including Dixie's. While the majority of the entrants are from the Twin Cities, Gerdes says, one entrant is coming all the way from New York and another is driving up from Iowa.
Voting starts at 7 p.m. Winners will be announced after the end of the evening's NCAA Final Four Championship game, which will be broadcast at the restaurant. The winner will receive a $300 prize and a shot at getting his or her jerky sold at the restaurant.
Think you'd like to throw your hat in the ring? There's still time. Call Gerdes at 612.867.1919 or email her at [email protected] to express your interest. The contest is by no means limited to beef, Gerdes says. Turkey, venison, and vegetarian entries are welcome, she says.

Welcome to the web page for the undergraduate program in History at the University of Oregon. By clicking on the sidebar, you can find out about the History major, the History minor, honors options in History, and other information of interest to undergraduates.
Elsewhere on the site you will find a list of the courses we offer (together with sample syllabi in many cases) and profiles of the faculty members who teach them.
The B.A. or B.S. in History is an incredibly versatile degree. Besides paving the way to careers in government, law, journalism, business, and education, the study of history cultivates critical skills useful in all walks of life. Among these are the ability to communicate verbally and in writing, to conduct research on virtually any topic, and to analyze, interpret, and synthesize large quantities of information. The history major cultivates the kinds of learning and skills that we regard as crucial for historical thinking and, more broadly, as integral to a liberal arts education.
The UO Career Center offers a number of resources for those wondering what to do with a major in History. History majors who want to become middle and/or high school teachers may also want to consider the five-term teaching licensure program offered by the UO School of Education.
What kind of content do we expect history majors to learn?
- Depth: All history majors must take a preponderance of their classes for the major at the upper-division level, particularly in 400-level classes specialized enough in scope so that students can both attain a degree of mastery of a period or topic and learn to appreciate the complexity of historical experience.
- Geographical breadth: All history majors are required to become broadly familiar with at least three geographical regions of the world, an invaluable experience in an increasingly interconnected world.
- Chronological breadth: All history majors should acquire substantial historical knowledge of premodern as well as modern history because acquaintance with societies and cultures that are remote in time challenges the historical imagination and unsettles assumptions.
- Cultural and linguistic breadth: All history majors should be challenged to encounter at least one culture other than their own by learning its language.
What skills do we expect history majors to develop?
- Historical argument: All history majors must learn how to understand historical arguments and assess them critically, including evaluating conflicts of interpretation, examining the use of evidence, and learning how explanations are constructed in historical writing.
- Inquiry: All history majors must learn how to read primary sources and analyze them critically; each student will eventually define a historical problem, identify primary sources relevant to that problem, and develop a research strategy to address a historical question.
- Writing: All history majors are expected learn how to synthesize information from a variety of sources, construct cogent arguments, and express them in clear, convincing prose.
Grading policy
What follows is meant to help students understand the departmental consensus, to the degree that there is one, regarding the grading of individual assignments. Each faculty member in the Department of History, however, will have her or his own interpretation of this consensus.
It is the student's responsibility to attend closely to the course syllabus, assignment descriptions, oral indications in class and in conference, and written comments on graded assignments in order to gain a more precise understanding of the interpretation that guides a given course.
A+: Work of unusual distinction. Therefore, in the History Department, this grade is rarely awarded.
A: Work that distinguishes itself by the excellence of its grasp of the material and the precision and insight of its argument, in addition to being well executed and reasonably free of errors.
B: Work that satisfies main criteria of the assignment, and demonstrates command of the material, but does not achieve the level of excellence that characterizes work of A quality.
C: Work that demonstrates a rudimentary grasp of the material and satisfies at least some of the assigned criteria reasonably well.
D: Work that demonstrates a poor grasp of the material and/or is executed with little regard for college standards, but which exhibits some engagement with the material.
F: Work that is weak in every aspect, demonstrating a basic misunderstanding of the material and/or disregard for the assigned question.
