… and the forces gather
By CDRSalamander
As things have picked up as of late WRT the No-Fly Zone over Libya (NFZ-L) – I think it is time to update the post from 17 days ago.
We have a "go" – in a fashion – for a NFZ-L. CONOPS, COA, ROE, etc; the most important things we really don't know what we will have. What we do know at the moment is what nations are already throwing their hat in.
GBR: Unknown number of Tornado and Typhoon fighters. Possible E-3D and tanker support, perhaps others. Frigates HMS CUMBERLAND and HMS WESTMINSTER.
FRA: Bases in southern France & Corsica. CVN FS CHARLES DE GAULLE with 35 aircraft perhaps.
USA: We can bring the the multitude or European based aircraft to bear; if we want to. We have the KEARSARGE ESG in the area. The Big E and her CSG are within reach in a few days; if we want it to. BATAAN ESG will deploy early and can lean in; if we want it to.
ESP: Access to airbases and unspecified aircraft and navy ships.
ITA: Accesses to airbases and support "without reserve" – whatever that means.
QAT: Unspecified support – the only Arab nation so far that I can see coming out post NFZ-L approval.
DEU, I guess, decided they had enough of the Libyan desert a few decades ago – and our other allies I presume were out of OPTAR or some other excuse. As for the rest of NATO – well, this sounds about par.
Before Friday's meeting, NATO allies were still divided on whether to impose a no-fly zone. While the United States, Britain and France strongly backed the idea, Germany remained cautious and Turkey expressed opposition.
A diplomat said that NATO nations reached consensus on Friday on the imposition of a no-fly zone over Libya, but failed to fix details about how partners will take part in.
NATO ambassadors are expected to meet over the weekend, the diplomat added.
Meanwhile, some NATO nations have expressed their willingness to participate in the deployment of a no-fly zone over Libya.
We shouldn't expect more from them. Those who could, have. The rest will take a couple of months to figure out how they can do enough to get their flag outside the headquarters – but not enough to take any blame if things should go wrong.
We also know that there is hard math at work here. Physics and engineering cannot be successfully fudged for long. Almost all the viable non-USN particiapation is shore based. Distance is not your friend, especially with the short legs of many of the fighters being offered. Tanker support will be a huge requirement in money and material if you want a serious NFZ-L – as will heavy AEW. If you want, as some have mentioned, a "No-Drive Zone Libya" (NDZ-L), then you are asking for dramatic increase in the Combined Joint Statement of Requirements (CJSOR) – and will need boots on the ground to do it right.
The role and participation by the USA is still behind closed doors, but unless something unusual happens, we know how this will happen in broad terms;
Michael O'Hanlon, a defense expert at the Brookings Institution, said the United States "frankly might wind up playing the biggest role" because Britain and France may be unable to get sufficient aircraft to Libya quickly enough.
"A key part of the role the U.S. is going to play here is going to be like one of President Obama's previous jobs: community organizer," said Brian Katulis, a Middle East expert at the Center for American Progress.
Frank knows time-distance it seems; Brian is a cheeky monkey.
With the atrophied military capability and shaky will of the European nations – not to mention their budget "issues" – any type of significant military action in the Maghreb will require the USA to do the heavy lifting. We are the indispensable nation – and when it comes to any sustained action from the sea, the USN is the indispensable Navy.
If you have to project any type of power ashore with ranges such as here (see post from 01MAR) – the CVN is the indispensable ship. As we have waited to the 11th hour to do anything, I still stand by my statements from 17 days ago; without more than 1 CVN you will not have an effective NFZ-L. We don't have that yet, and may never.
So, if that is where we stand; are we just relying on hope and best case scenarios? Is the NFZ-L just for show and a half-hearted effort? Are we ready for the time and effort for a sustained NFZ-L? Are our allies? Are we going to just let the Europeans fail as they did in AFG from '06-'08 and then try to fix it later?
Finally there is this questions that many seem to want to avoid. We set up a NFZ-L and Gadaffi still wins in the face of it; what is our Branch Plan, or Sequel? What are the second and third order effects of an ineffective NFZ-L that results in a Gadaffi win?
Well – hopefully we won't have to figure that out. Smart professionals are working that – but before everyone starts moving their little-bits around the map – listen to SECDEF Gates one more time.
Another dark room – let's all step in together.
UPDATE: NOR and DNK are in … as tanks start to enter Benghazi. Tic, toc; tic, toc.
UPDATE II: Pictures are important and tell the story of the costs of delay. A couple of weeks ago, Gadaffi only had the area around Tripoli and a scattered town or two. The facts on the ground have changes significantly. Quite the challenge (click for larger).

Welcome to River Oaks Golf Club!
"We are not a Country Club but a Great Club in the Country"
The biggest charm for River Oaks Golf Club is our location. Set near the Feather River, off of Highway 99 in Nicolaus, California, we are close to Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Yuba City, Marysville and Natomas. The course offers a chance to play golf in a peaceful, natural setting.
The par-71 course designed by Peter Jacobson plays 6,467 yards from the black tees, 6,005 from the blues, 5,374 from the whites and 4,719 from the reds. Most of the fairways are wide and generous, but hitting approach shots onto the course's target greens will challenge low handicap players while providing a fair, enjoyable round of golf for all skill levels.

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
Tight end Jimmy Graham was still playing at Miami (Fla.) the last time the Patriots and Saints met, but he's been a key contributor in his time with New Orleans, especially this season.
Considering how heavily the Patriots' last two opponents have relied on tight ends, it figures to be an area the Saints will look to exploit during Sunday's game at Gillette Stadium.
Through five games (all wins), Graham has caught 37 passes for 593 yards (16.0-yard average) and six touchdowns. He's on pace to set career highs in all of those categories.
"Jimmy Graham and [quarterback] Drew [Brees] have a real timing and relationship there," Matt Patricia, the Patriots defensive coordinator, said Tuesday.

Tis The Season For Christmas PJ's And Hoodies.... FALALALAAAA
It's December 1st! What does that mean?
Christmas...my absolute favorite holiday, is only a few short weeks away!
Have you started your Christmas shopping?
I was provided with a $100 gift card to shop in the PS Aeropostale store in return for my honest review of the products we received. I was not offered any other monetary gifts by posting this review/feature!
A Christmas tradition we have in our home is new
Christmas PJ's
, that they open on Christmas Eve (because by then, they are really begging to open a present) and we all wear them to bed, so that when we are opening our presents on Christmas morning, we are wearing one of our presents.
This year,
PS Aeropostale
made my Christmas PJ hunting super easy! Not only easy, for finding the perfect ones, but easy on the wallet as well!
All three of the youngers received amazing PJ's that will make our present opening experience adorable and comfortable too. Plus, with the sales they were having, the free shipping I received with my order and the online code I found for an additional amount off, we not only got these, but so much more!
kids' long sleeve dog sleep tee
kids' plaid sleep jogger pants
kids' long sleeve oh snap! sleep tee
kids' festive hearts sleep pants
Kids' Long Sleeve Santa Dog Sleep Set
SUPER CUTE, right?
And right now, these pajamas are all on sale!!
As a
PS Aeropostale
Mommy, I always try my best to use my $100 gift card wisely. Especially with four kids to shop for (even though our oldest son is now too big for their line of clothing). As I've said before, PS Aeropostale has amazing sales and typically I get way more for the $100 than I could even buy at a typical department store!! Plus, they have a clothing line that all three of my youngers love! They are always excited to see what the newest releases will include...in hopes of their wardrobe continuing to expand more!
kids' ps new york city sparkle popover hoodie
kids' sequined heart popover hoodie
kids' psnine aeronyc graphic t
As always, I am delighted with the adorable hoodies, long sleeved tee shirt and even the skinny jeans we purchased! All of the items are true to size and wash up (and I can say...from experience...) and hold up great too! Despite them actually growing out of the sizes, all of their products wash and wear well and my kids are not easy on clothes!
Plus, their friends always want to know where they get their cute new things...so they are literally a walking billboard just by wearing their awesome clothing line!
to shop now!
You might even catch the last few hours of their

FALL HANDBAG MUST HAVES: @BigBuddhaBags
Admit it!
You love getting a new purse!
There is something invigorating about having a new "fabulous" handbag on your arm, right?
All products for this review/feature were sent to me free of charge by the company. I was not offered any monetary compensation in exchange for my honest opinion about the bags!
Okay, maybe it's just me, but it always give me a sudden burst of confidence when I have a new handbag to carry...especially when it's one that is guaranteed to get noticed with lots of positive, excitable attention!
and their awesome line of trendy designer handbags!
These are going to have you feeling a burst of confidence as you start off fall in a fashion forward sense...
This is the
BIG BUDDHA Geneva Cross Body
in Leopard Print
(I love leopard print). I love this bag! Why? Well, when I have somewhere to go, that only requires me to take my keys, my phone, my license to drive and maybe a credit card (it has built in card pockets), it will fit nicely and securely inside this adorable bag. Plus, it's lightweight, and super FASHIONABLE! I love it!
to check it out and order yourself one!
BIG BUDDHA Grayson Shoulder Bag
in BLUE is large and in charge! This bag comes in several different color options, if blue is not your thing (but it's definitely mine). Accented with GOLD ball like studs on the handles and length of the purse, this handbag has plenty of attention factor. Plus, it has great built in pockets inside (with an awesome black/white lining that also stands out), as well as a zipper on the back side of the bag (the perfect place to store your phone). This bag is big enough to carry all my "MOMMY" needs and more! I'll be ready to store everyone's treasures and still look amazing doing it!
to check out and order this bag for yourself!
Both of the
Big Buddha handbags
I received are totally sharp looking in appearance, well made, and I can't wait to use them both this fall!

Techie Toys For Christmas? 3D Maker and Storytime Theater...We Tried Them Out!
Christmas is only a couple months away!
Can you believe it?
All products sent for this review/feature were sent free of charge by the company! I was not offered any monetary compensation by posting my honest opinion about these products!
Every child likes the newest, latest, coolest gadget and gizmo, right?
Here a couple ideas of new products that are just hitting the store shelves:
These two new "techie" toys arrived for us to try out, and we are excited to tell you about them...so you can add them to your kid's Christmas wish list.
The first one we tried tonight, had the kids super excited! 3D printers and the such are all
the rave
right now! This
3D Maker
takes a gel like liquid, some molds, a curer
(kind of like an easy bake oven)
and after waiting patiently for a few minutes, you pop the hardened pieces out and construct your 3D objects together. Seems simple enough, right? It really is THAT SIMPLE!
We loved how the sea turtle came out. It also comes with a couple pieces of flat plastic, so you can design your own 3D project...our daughter made a dolphin (she is a bit obsessed) and they even wrote out their names and words. We even got a little goofy and I used a piece of the cured gel as a faux beard!
It comes with three colors of the liquid and several different stencils, like the turtle, a car, a bridge, a helicopter, etc. The only thing I found a little frustrating is that it doesn't come with enough of the liquid to really create a LOT of things. So your kids will only have about 2 completed projects before they will be out and need a refill of the liquid. With six kids, this could really be a quickly escalating problem! Aside from that, this
3D Maker
was very fun, everyone loved getting into the creative time and we wished would have made even more with it...
The Storytime Theater
is something that the younger guys were excited about. This projector wirelessly connects to an app you download on your ipad or tablet. which just takes a few minutes! Once you've got it installed, you can project the interactive Disney stories onto a wall, the ceiling or wherever you'd like.
It reads to you the interactive story, gives you the option to read it yourself, etc.
The story lasts about 5 minutes and is very colorful and entertaining. It comes with the
Buzz Lightyear "Buzz' Space Adventure" Press N Play story
There are several other stories that you can download or purchase the
"Press N Play"story with the character
to hear others. These stories cost about $7.99 to download directly from the app store and they have several Disney stories to purchase. I think this product is awesome and is a great learning device for reading or the perfect "before bedtime" story...but I must admit that the price of the stories is a little high, for a five minute interactive story. However, if your child likes to hear the same story over and over again, and is a HUGE fan of the Disney characters, this would be a great Christmas present for them and they really will love it!

Dresses For Parties, Weddings and More... Sara's Fashion
The holidays are coming!
Does your family do anything during the holiday months, that requires you to buy "fancier" dress apparel for the kids?
Maybe you are attending a lavish party, taking the kids to a Christmas performance that you get dressed up for, taking family pictures or even attending a wedding during the holidays.
All product for this review/feature was sent free of charge by the company. I was not offered any monetary compensation by posting my honest opinions about the product.
Regardless your reasons, there is always a REASON to invest $$ in a beautiful dress...especially when you have daughters!
I was delighted to learn about
Sara's Fashion
and their HUGE selection of
party/flower girl/communion dresses
! They have so many styles, colors and selection...when it came to choosing one dress, we had a difficult time. Especially since our oldest daughter
(who really isn't fond of dressing up too much)
was the one who volunteered to help me with this feature!
She found one that truly delighted her though...
We selected the
Pretty Chiffon dress in the ROYAL BLUE
color that was pictured...though it was orderable in several other colors as well.
When it arrived, I was curious to see if it was as "NICE" as the picture made it look, especially since it shipped in a smaller envelope!
To my delight...and her's...it was!
The dress is two layers and has a detachable flower (pin on) that she can either wear if she wants to, or take off if she doesn't. That will probably depend on her mood. It has a zipper and tie back and I'd say it passed all our requirements to be a dress she will enjoy wearing for whatever occasion she needs to have a dressier dress for...this fall and winter.
It's beautiful and she feels amazing wearing it!
Plus...this dress was on major sale and cost half of it's suggested retail! SCORE!! If you are planning a wedding and need to order dresses for your
Junior Bridesmaids
Flower Girls
...you may want to start here first. They have a vast inventory! And they shipped this dress really quickly to us as well!
to check all that
Sara's Fashion
has to offer you!

Lumination Glow Stick Markers - GLOWING GOOD TIME!
Kids love all things that glow!
That's why GLOW STICKS are such a huge hit!
All products for this review/feature were sent free of charge by the company. I was not offered any monetary compensation by posting my honest opinion about these products.
So what if I could tell you about a product that took something your kids already love and turned it into a creatively fun activity that will last a few hours after?
Does this sound like something your kids would enjoy playing with?
We received three
Lumination Glow Stick Markers
to try out!
After following the simple instructions of snapping the tube, shaking and then drawing with these fun glowing markers...we were all in awe of the bright, creative fun.
They really do glow brightly...and they come with felt stickers, so you can attach them to clothing, skateboards, etc. I think these would be super fun for an outdoor sporting event (football, soccer, etc), to cheer your team on! You simply crack, shake and draw! The design you create with the glowing ink will last up to a couple hours. The thicker you draw your design, the longer it lasts and glows for.
It even comes with a plastic lanyard to make it into a necklace.
Glow Stick Markers
will intrigue and encourage your kids creativity. We were entertained for about 15 minutes, drawing on the sidewalk and creating our designs. And of course, enjoying the glowing after effects too. These are not recommended for use on skin and can stain fabrics and clothing...which is why they come with the felt stickers.
to learn more about this product and where you can buy your children some.
These would make super fun stocking stuffers for Christmas too!

The Flame Sweet And Spicy Drink @TheFlameMixer
This weekend was HOT...in more ways than one!
I tried drinking something that was pretty spicy too!
A PEPPER style drink!
It was sweet and spicy all in the same sip of the drink.
And yes...this drink is completely 100% family friendly!
All products for this review/feature were purchased on my own behalf. I was not offered any monetary compensation by offering my honest opinion on these products.
A friendly guy, had a little booth set up outside of a store that carried products that all had some sort of HEAT
(pepper heat)
to them. He was offering samples of this "juice like product". It was called
"The FLAME" sweet & spicy cocktail mixer.
When we walked by the first time, I was leery about tasting them...because I didn't want to regret drinking something weird like this. Especially something that would make my mouth burn for the rest of the day. You never know with these types of products! The product rep was really nice, and even suggested that the kids would enjoy it too
...so we all had a little taste test. Once we tried the first flavor (
), we had to try the rest...they were that good! We tried the
Watermelon and the Coconut Lime
as well and all three were pretty awesome! We walked off buying nothing...but after shopping around, we went back and had to buy some to enjoy for the rest of our afternoon!
We were sold!
Not just me...we all were! Literally!
It's THAT GOOD!
Oddly enough, the thing about this beverage that I find the weirdest and coolest of all, is that when you drink it, your mouth never really senses the spiciness until you swallow. You can hold a mouth full of this sweet ice cold beverage in your mouth and your tongue will not burn, it just doesn't! However, when you swallow, it's the back of your throat that actually catches the burn on the way down. It's not a horrible burn...but a fun burn! In the heat of the day, this beverage was not only totally refreshing...my favorite was the
Mango flavor
, but it has a kick
(that just hits you in the back of the throat)
that kind of gives you an odd little boost.
It's pretty awesome! That's why I am writing about it!
I'd totally drink more!
The Flame
can be mixed with alcohol, as a mixer...but we drank it the way it was
(completely non-alcoholic)
and we loved it!
It will leave you wanting more. At least it did for us!
to learn more about this product and where you can buy yourself a few to taste test too!
I was not paid to feature this post! I was not compensated in any way by posting my opinions about these products. We purchased the products, after a taste test sampling outside of a store and I had to share my thoughts.

The motorcycle brand launched b2b and b2c e-commerce at once.
Triumph Motorcycles Ltd., which sells motorcycles and gear to dealers and consumers, has launched a series of e-commerce web sites for its North American headquarters and its franchises in the United States, the company recently announced.
The sites are all connected by a single inventory management and distribution system from UPS Global Logistics and Distribution. They include a corporate web store selling directly to consumers, a business-to-business site selling goods wholesale to distributors and franchised web stores for each of its more than 200 North American dealers, says Matt Sheahan, vice president of sales and operations.
The retailer selected Bridgeline Digital's iAPPS Product Suite to build and host its e-commerce platform at the suggestion of UPS, which had previously revamped Triumph's back-end infrastructure for warehousing and distribution, Sheahan says. Because Triumph was already integrated with UPS, it stood to save time and money implementing Bridgeline for e-commerce, he says, though he declines to estimate the savings.
Triumph launched the sites within 90 days of signing with Bridgeline. The retailer will also use Bridgeline to help it sell on Amazon.com Inc.'s marketplace, which the retailer was eager to join to expand its customer base and grow brand awareness, Sheahan says.
Triumph addressed four main goals in its e-commerce launch, he says. They were:
Triumph's corporate headquarters, via UPS, handles all fulfillment and shipping for online orders, Sheahan says. If a consumer buys a motorcycle jacket from a dealer's web site, for example, Triumph is essentially selling the jacket wholesale to that dealer, which then sells it to the consumer and keeps the profit, he says. "The good part for dealers is they don't have the risk of inventory they have to carry, stocking warehouses, hiring warehouse workers, shipping items and maintaining the web site, but they still get profit-sharing," he says.
Bridgeline's average e-retail clients spend $150,000-250,000 in the first year of service, which covers initial site development and software fees, and $85,000 in subsequent years for continued service and maintenance, the company says.
Triumph required some specific features that Bridgeline added, Sheahan says. It needed the e-commerce platform to incorporate state-specific motor vehicle laws for franchises, maintain the existing relationship between Triumph and its dealers online—which Triumph manages in part by redirecting visitors from the corporate e-commerce site to their nearest dealers' sites—and simplify the returns process for customers so they needn't call Triumph or a dealer to return items, he says.
"The flexibility and speed with which they've been able to react to what we need in a very tight timeframe has been remarkable," Sheahan says. In the coming year, Triumph plans to add a Canadian e-commerce site, he says.
Amazon is increasingly demanding of the retailers and brands that sell it products.

This product has packed a ton of excellent features at an extremely low price. It's 4 Volt, so the quality of sound sounds far better than all other head units and it has an amazing control of the speakers. Along with this unit I also purchased very some nice speakers to go with an old MTX Blue Thunder amp. I purchased thing 2 years ago and it's working perfectly. It may take a while to learn all the features, but if it's installed correctly, you will find this unit a step above. A lot of time has gone into the engineering. Everything works perfectly and sounds very clean with fantastic separation of sound.

Geddins, and David Rosenbaum's 'Fool's Paradise'. With Life Journey, Leon Russell reminisces with some of the musical touchstones that have inspired him, while bringing forth new songs of his own, for an album that looks back with the love, loss, joy, and peace that's collected during a life well lived. How fortunate the world is for Leon Russell to share his life and time with us in song, all these years.

Excitement fills the first day of school
Students of Bethany Christian Academy in Westminster were ready for the first day of school on Sept. 4, with new backpacks, lunch boxes and school uniforms.
Principal Trish Harnish welcomed them back during an all-school assembly at the flag pole.
Old friends reunited and new friends were made, while teachers were greeted with lots hellos and hugs from their former students. Second grade teacher Renee Shinn even received a bouquet of flowers from one of her excited students.
While the first day of school is always filled with excitement, for some it's filled with tears. Kindergarteners, clung to their moms and dads, shed a few tears for just a moment until they noticed the fun toys in their classroom. Kindergarten Teacher Elise Archuleta was eager and kind to give some encouragement to those students.
Junior high students arrived at school anxious to see their friends and get the year started. Every junior higher student received a daily planner and good study skills were discussed to ensure a successful year.
This year's school theme is "Stand Firm" based on I Corinthians 15:58, "Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."
Bethany students will definitely be standing firm as they learn and grow this year.

Dear Craig,
Consider my pants off and ready for fun! Hey, don't look at me that way. I'm just following directions. And, by the way – I'm always groovy.
Wow! You were bouncy as all get out tonight. I liked it.
Monologue: Bond. James Bond. Yes, we have a new James Bond, but I can't understand why they didn't choose someone more like….you. No matter what, no one will ever match Sean Connery. He's my favorite Bond. Ever. I do agree that there are fewer gadgets for Bond that the rest of us don't already have. Still, I think there are a good many inventions that could be developed. Invisibility. Think of what Bond could see if no one knew he was there.
Digital camera lessons? Honey, when I come over to help you with Galaga we'll just add on some time for the camera, okay?
According to you, cameras steal your soul. "Luckily, I work in show business so my soul has been gone for many, many, many years. Yes, I'm a minion of the Dark One."
Mega pixels, pixels, pixies, elves, fairies, and trolls. All of them are horribly complicated and require no explanations. Gnomes are even worse. How 'bout we agree to leave them be and go out for a nice dinner instead?
Your first head shots were taken by a morgue technician? Oh my. At least the guy had experience making people look lifelike. Simmer down, that wasn't nearly as insulting as it sounded. (I told you I was cheeky!)
Email: Claudia in Miami, M in New York, none from me. Sigh. This really is becoming rather pathetic.
First guest: Joe Mantegna is currently starring in Nine Lives with Kathy Bates, Holly Hunter, Ian McShane, and Dakota Fanning. From what I can tell, the film centers around nine women and the events that shape their lives. Unfortunately, the website for the movie is currently down.I like Joe Mantegna and will generally watch anything with him in it. I miss Joan of Arcadia, where I got my weekly dose of Joe. About the only projects he's worked on that I haven't been thrilled with are the Spenser: For Hire movies. Robert Urich will always be the only Spenser (not related to me) that I'd hire.
Mantegna has also provided the voice for Fat Tony on the Simpsons. He based the voice on the way his uncle speaks and related a story of how his uncle once accompanied him to the recording studio. Essentially, Mantegna said if he had to step out for the restroom, his uncle could fill in for him. Speaking of family, Joe's mom just turned 90, although she'll only cop to 88. Hell, if I made it to 90, I'd want credit for each and every year! Anyhow, talk kept returning to family and marriage.
According to Joe, the reason he's been married for 30 years is that he realizes that marriage is like a roller coaster, you have to expect the ups and downs. He's also extremely grateful that there's someone who wants to support the things he does. I think it's safe to say that's what most of us want from our relationships; someone who believes in what we do.
Second guest: Sue Johanson, the sexpert from the Oxygen Network's Talk Sex. Johanson is a nurse who established a birth control center in Canada in the 70s. From there, she went back to college to get the classes necessary to teach sex education to high school students. Over time, she became a noted speaker on sex and sexuality, eventually ending up with her own talk show.
My poor Craigsy, you are so easily flustered when it comes to discussing sex. Sue Johanson was correct when she said it's healthy to talk about sex, healthy to have sex. All that's required is the consenting adults. I found it odd that she couldn't talk to her own children about anything other than the basics of sex. I understand that it can be embarrassing, but you have to believe that you've raised your children well enough to have frank discussions with them. Of course, that's easy for me to say. My daughter and I had the talk a couple years ago and my son is currently not interested in much beyond "where do babies come from?" I guess she may have a point; talking to a stranger about sex seems easier.
The best part of having access to experts like Johanson is that we can ask those questions we're too afraid to ask our doctors. However, we should remember that talking with our partners is essential when it comes to maintaining healthy relationships. If you can talk to them about sex, you can talk to them about anything.
I'm sure I was the only viewer who found it sweet that there was a little playful flirting and teasing going on between you and Sue Johanson, Craig. How sweet!
I fully enjoyed the show last night. The Mighty Ferguson used all his gentle interview skills to draw his guests into delightfully revealing conversation. That's what I like.
As usual, I can't wait for the next show. Until then, my feathery little homing pigeon…
Your cheeky wee monkey and saucy little minx,
Discover for yourself what all the buzz is about, check out The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS, Monday-Friday, 12:30 PM, Pacific. If you can't stay up that late and/or refuse to record the show, you can always catch up on the monologues and skits on the LLS website.
About the author: Joan's fascination and adoration of Craig Ferguson is little more than silly fantasy, with a dash of lust, the likes of which are common amongst single 39 year-old women. She lives many miles safely south of Los Angeles and CBS Studios. If Craig were on Survivor, he'd be the only one she'd want to reach the final two with her. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Plus, he'd be running around in shorts and getting all sweaty, which normally isn't all that appealing but somehow really works for her in a Survivor scenario. Eh, go figure.Powered by Sidelines

(Europeans, pls verify where this pic was taken. I found it in my parents' files and it has no label to where it was taken.http://www.smilies.our-local.co.uk/i.../Sarcastic.gif)
Are they your dogs Blue? They're gorgeous!!
But they were given away as they were getting too noisy. The more, the noisier.:dunno:
The only dogs left here are their mother and sister. Then another miniature pinscher which is not their relative. And a dobermann.http://www.smilies.our-local.co.uk/i.../Sarcastic.gif
Cute doggies! Unfortunately I have no idea where the Europe photo was taken. You have a Doberman too?? WOW!
Until now, I never give that dog my attention other than my sisters after those horrible incidents. I regret those incidents because those chickens are one of my favorite pets. I get to attend on the miniature pinschers but not all the time because I don't want to risk getting asthma.:roll:
No rabbits, no hamsters and guinea pigs as I don't want to risk respiratory diseases. Hence I stick with f*sh.:mrgreen: More tanks to come soon.:mrgreen:
Ahh, I understand :) It is not fun to enjoy dogs but experience health problems from them (allergies, asthma). Fish are an excellent choice! No smell, no noise, no allergies, and they don't beg to be walked during ice storms (thought I doubt you experience THAT problem, being in the tropics as you are :wink: ). I would be surrounded by a menagerie of pets if i could, but I work far too much. I enjoy working at the pet store for that reason: I can fuss over the critters and enjoy them, but don't have to take them home (as tempting as it may be). The hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas and exotic birds are all very tempting :D All I have at home now are fish, and a small dog (Maltese). Oh yeah, and my youngest son has 4 land hermit crabs.
Chinchillas?!:shock2: I like the way they look.:love: Though they're not available here.:blueworry:
Chinchillas are very cute, agreed. I think they look like a giant mouse, with their whiskers and big ears, but they have a tail like a squirrel. They are very, very soft :) I work with a young girl that is crazy about them and knows lots about them. From what she has told me, they are very intelligent, and more long-lived than other small critters like bunnies and guinea pig :) They also mate for life. Interesting little critters....the only thing holding me back is common sense....
VERY cute! I love the one on the right that has his tongue sticking out, adorable! :P

She'll never look at Frozen the same way again.
As a kid, it's debatable whether getting a splinter or a papercut is the worst minor infliction to endure, but for one girl, it's no question. Only one of them might've also ruined a beloved movie for life.
Francesca sounds like she's in excruciating pain while she sings "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" from Frozen while her mom removes a splinter from her leg. And for some reason, her parents got so much of a kick from it they decided to film their daughter's traumatic experience and upload it to YouTube.
If you can make through the whole thing, you're almost as much as a trooper as she is.
Now for her sake, it better snow enough this week for her to make a damn snowman.

Did not God divide the sea for moses and wipe out the Egyptian Soldiers when they chased after the Israelites?
God even gave power to David and helped him defeat Goliath.
The God of Israel will rebuke these rebels and any nation who wants to bring destruction to Israel yes Jesus Christ my Saviour will come to fight against the enemies of Jerusalem he will stand on Mt of Olives one day very soon and will break the nations who will come against his people and scatter them he will rebuke them.

Do not twist the truth. The fact is that fighting for those who are being bullied and beat down by a stronger and more powerful bully is the right thing to do. Who will stand up to protect the palestinian people and give them justice. They are gods children too and deserve better then what they have been handed. If you were palestinian and you and your people endured what they have, then you would be singing a different tune. The Jews in Israel and Al qaeda have this one thing in common. They both think they are entitled to more then they really are and are willing to kill innocent women and children to get what they want and fail to view all humanity as one people and all children of god. This kind of thinking did not prove to be ever lasting for the Romans nor Hitler nor any group in history in the long run. It is not a question if it will come to an end but when and at what cost. I for one hope for a miracle and would rather no more innocent lives are lost in the world. Not from blade nor famine. God willing.

For a long time I was in agreement with the rebel ideal in Syria mostly because both Turkey and Israel were so standoffish with the Syrian shells that got in their territory.
However now I feel the west should offer asylum to the Syrian citizens that want democratic existence.
In respect of Russia's presence we need to let it go. The rebels should also.
Would be great if Jordan & Qatar offered some land or housing assistance.
If not, then if we are going to help, do it fast.

Thats where your wrong Israel has tried to establish peace but without precondition. Your statement of we are all Gods children is wrong Jesus made this clear only those who do the will of the Father are his family. He even told the Israelites/Jews because they didn't believe in him and his message and wanted to kill him they were the devils children. So we are not all Gods children only those who do the will of the father and believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, is The Messiah and Saviour that he died on the cross for our sin's and that he is the only way to the father if we were all Gods children than every single middle eastern country would respect Israel not for the Israelites but The True Living God The God of Israel this is found in the Word of God.
If we are all Gods children why are many atheist? Why are there many who participate in witch craft? Why are there other idols and false gods?
Palestine wants peace? Yet they can't stop terrorist firing into South of Israel? How do you make peace with people who cant even lead their country if they wanted peace they would kick out all terrorist starting from the youngest to the oldest.

Speaking of twisting the truth. You need to speak the truth first.
So according to your logic you would have supported the Nazis at the end of the Holocaust because they were being bullied by the allies???
Israel is located on a tiny piece of land have you ever looked at a map to see how small it is? It is surrounded by 100's of millions of Arabs & Muslims who mostly (according to many pools both internal and external) want to wipe out Israel and the Jews of the land.
Already 1,000,000 Jews have been persecuted from the countries in the region can you not see who the real bully is?
The Arabs were given control of the whole Middle East accept a tiny piece of land called Western Palestine.
If Israelis were Palestinian Arabs they would have made peace a long time ago but since the whole Palestinian society is based on incitement and hatred a real peace is unlikely.
Can you tell me one part of Palestinian society which doesn't incite against Jews or Israel with lies???
The fact is that the Palestinian nation was created with the intention to destroy Israel this is clear in ALL documentation they have ever written. Nothing has changed and the Palestinian leaders until this day refuse to acknowledge that Israel as a Jewish state is here to stay.

Very nice friendly service at this family-run hotel. Unfortunately, the beds were very hard and the pillows were cheap foam hard things that I would never have one of my guests sleep on! Good location. If they would refurbish and invest in some nice beds, this would be a gem.

There was a public sighting of the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs superyacht in the Dutch city of Aalsmeer... and like the mention and description in Walter Isaacson's Biography, it does indeed appear 'sleek and minimalist'.
-check out photos and video of the yacht below:
The interior of the yacht, which was christened Venus (Roman goddess of love and beauty) was reportedly designed by Philippe Starck and leading up to Steve Jobs death while the yacht was under construction, Jobs continued in 'fiddling' with the design.
The superyacht features a lightweight aluminum exterior measuring up to 80 meters long, the Apple signature tall and long glass panels and even boasts seven 27-inch iMacs at the vessel's bridge.
After our omelets at the café, we went back to his house and he showed me all of the models and architectural drawings. As expected, the planned yacht was sleek and minimalist. The teak decks were perfectly flat and unblemished by any accoutrements. As at an Apple store, the cabin windows were large panes, almost floor to ceiling, and the main living area was designed to have walls of glass that were forty feet long and ten feet high. He had gotten the chief engineer of the Apple stores to design a special glass that was able to provide structural support. By then the boat was under construction by the Dutch custom yacht builders Feadship, but Jobs was still fiddling with the design. "I know that it's possible I will die and leave Laurene with a half-built boat," he said. "But I have to keep going on it. If I don't, it's an admission that I'm about to die." -Walter Isaacson

Eventually after following the river, that I knew lead to Bagni di Lucca, I finally found someone that was also going to watch the Giro (I had been asking other riders since Viareggio!) and to my relief he knew exactly where to go.

Revelation 4:2-7New International Version (NIV)
2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a] of God. 6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.
