PHOTOS: Kelly Clarkson ties the knot with Brandon Blackstock
Listen to Kelly Clarkson on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Miss Independent is now Mrs. Brandon Blackstock.
Kelly Clarkson has traded in the single life, saying "I do" to the Nashville-based talent manager, whom she started dating in late 2011.
The nuptials took place on Sunday, October 20, at Blackberry Farms in Walland, Tennessee.
Kelly wore a gorgeous lace wedding gown by Temperley, which retails for $7,015, and carried a bouquet of yellow sunflowers and other purple flowers. She wore her hair in an updo finished with a headpiece from Jim Verraros and Maria Elena.
The crooner confirmed the news in some posts on Twitter and Facebook showing off her wedding gown, which was decidedly not like the pics she'd previously shared of herself in a ceremonial white frock.

"This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."
-- Barack Obama to Dmitry Medvedev, March 26, 2012
The puzzle of the Chuck Hagel nomination for defense secretary is that you normally choose someone of the other party for your Cabinet to indicate a move to the center, but, as The Washington Post editorial board points out, Hagel's foreign policy views are to the left of Barack Obama's, let alone the GOP's. Indeed, they are at the fringe of the entire Senate.
So what's going on? Message sending. Obama won re-election. He no longer has to trim, to appear more moderate than his true instincts. He has the "flexibility" to be authentically Obama.
Hence the Hagel choice: Under the guise of centrist bipartisanship, it allows the president to leave the constrained first-term Obama behind and follow his natural Hagel-like foreign policy inclinations. On three pressing issues in particular:

Ju Yeon (Sarah) Lee - South Korea
Ju Yeon (Sarah) Lee - South Korea
Sarah Lee is 20 years old and came to Green River College winter quarter 2011. She is majoring in economics and her career goal is to work for the United Nations.
Last month Sarah had the opportunity to attend the Harvard National Model United Nations (HNMUN) in Boston. HNMUN is held every year for Model United Nations clubs at four-year colleges around the world. Green River College did not have an HNMUN club so Sarah took the initiative and invited 6 of her friends plus Mark Blaisdell (faculty advisor) to join her on this trip. "The students at the event were so professional - they talked about real global issues", said Sarah. "I felt like I was truly working for the UN." Because of Sarah's efforts, her friends will start a HNMUN club next year and are already planning to attend the 2014 conference. Read Sarah's blog.
Sarah chose to attend Green River for many reasons: 1) Her agency in South Korea told her that Green River has a great transfer program. 2) She watched the Green River video and saw how pretty and green it was here. She wanted a change from the city life of Daejeon. 3) Her mother told her it would be better to go to a community college first as it would improve her chances of getting into a top U.S., and 4) it costs less.
Sarah is happy that she chose Green River because of all the reasons above. She also added, "I like the small class sizes, and that instructors have more time to talk to students compared to other universities. There are also a lot of activities for international students."
Sarah is in the process of applying to four-year universities right now. Her goal is get into the University of Chicago as they have a very strong Economics program.

On Wednesday February 1st 2012 Felleskjöpet Agri SA will be officially opening the ThermoSeedTM processing plant in Holstad, Norway. The target is to treat around 25,000 tons of seed per year. This will make Norway the second country in the world to start using the ThermoSeed method on this scale. To mark the occasion a seminar focusing on ThermoSeed and IPM (Integrated Pest Management) will be held followed by the opening ceremony and tour of the plant.
The ThermoSeed method is an effective and environmentally friendly method for disinfecting seed with hot humid air without the use of any chemicals whatsoever.
ThermoSeed was developed by the Uppsala company SeedGard AB, whose owners included Lantmännen, SLU and Anders Wall. SeedGard AB has since been acquired by INCOTEC and is now known as INCOTEC Sweden AB. Lantmännen and INCOTEC are now responsible for continued development of the ThermoSeed technology and its launch in the international market.
The equipment installed in Holstad is the same type used at Lantmännen's plant in Skara, Sweden. Following a long period of evaluation and analysis Felleskjöpet Agri SA decided to replace a large proportion of its plant protection products with ThermoSeed. One important factor contributing to this decision was that Lantmännen's ThermoSeed plant in Skara had been operating for many years with very good results. In 2010 Felleskjöpet Agri SA ordered two processing lines for its plant in Holstad. This strategic decision gives Felleskjöpet a unique position in the world.
"It's fantastic that it is Felleskjöpet, which has been in the development phase for such a long time, that has taken the lead and will now become the world's largest ThermoSeed user. This is a major step towards international expansion," says Kenneth Alness of INCOTEC Sweden AB.
Bjørn Stabbetorp, Marketing Manager for Plant Cultivation from Felleskjøpet Agri SA, "It feels like the right moment to invest in a sustainable alternative for now and the future and to phase out the use of chemicals".
About Lantmännen:
Lantmännen is one of the largest groups in the agriculture, machinery, energy and food industries in the Nordic region. Lantmännen's brands include Axa, Kungsörnen, Kronfågel, GoGreen, Hatting and Gooh. Lantmännen is owned by more than 36,000 Swedish farmers. It has more than 10,000 employees, operates in 18 countries and has a turnover of SEK 36 billion. Lantmännen operates throughout the entire food processing chain and we take responsibility from field to fork. Find out more at: www.lantmannen.com and www.lantmannen.se.

"A Stronger America Through Technology - New Challenges, New Opportunities"
August 10, 2009
Contact: Robert Lesino, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON — IT professionals from across government are gathering this week in Chicago at the U.S. General Services Administration's Network Services Conference to learn how GSA's IT products and services leverage technology to make government more efficient, secure and transparent.
The event, which runs through Aug. 13, features GSA's Federal Acquisition Service Office of Integrated Technology Services' vast portfolio of network services, products, and solutions. Additionally, GSA's experts will help agencies identify and meet their telecom needs for the next decade.
"Network services and information technology play a critical role in supporting the Administration's priorities and the business of government," said GSA's Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner James A. Williams. "This conference shows how the latest network technologies and services can enable a fully interoperable and secure government IT infrastructure."
Keynote GSA speakers include GSA Deputy Administrator Barnaby L. Brasseux; FAS Commissioner James A. Williams; Edward J. O'Hare, Assistant Commissioner of the Office of Integrated Technology Services; and Network Services Director Karl Krumbholz.
Highlights of the conference include:
Discussion of the challenges the government faces in the fast-paced world of information and network services, and the future of the network services portfolio;
Information sessions on the GSA portfolio of network offerings and solutions;
An exhibit hall with the latest technology solutions offered by GSA industry partners;
Information on technology services geared towards state and local officials;
Updates on the progress of the transition to Networx contracts; and
Information sessions on how GSA's Networx offerings can help agencies comply with the OMB mandate to move to Trusted Internet Connections.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 213,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 480 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.

Learn about invitation components, envelopes, addressing options, wording, etiquette and more.
Shine Wedding Invitations is an online stationery boutique. We do not have a public studio.
Yes. Samples of each invitation design are available for purchase and ship in 1-3 business days. We also offer free sample sets (limit one per household).
Our samples are pre-printed with example wording in the colors shown and cannot be customized. Color charts on each of our cardstock with all of our ink options are included with the sample so you can see them in person and choose what you like best for your actual stationery order.
Your credit card will be charged at the time of purchase.
Pricing is published on the right hand side of each product page. Just select the quantity of each item and option you'd like to include with your package and the total will be displayed for your convenience.
Yes. Single blank envelopes are included in the price of wedding invitations, response cards, save the dates, and thank you cards. Double envelopes and addressing options are an additional charge.
More invitations can be ordered at a later date, but it is substantially more expensive than ordering extras up front. This is because each print run incurs certain setup costs and preparation time, despite the quantity ordered.
We highly recommend ordering at least 10-15 extras. Be sure to account for wrong addresses, last minute guests, keepsakes for you and family, as well as a set for your photographer to document when deciding on your final quantity.
Yes, of course! You can use as many ink colors as you'd like on your stationery, there is no additional charge.
Text, graphics, and borders can be customized to any of our ink options. Belly bands can be customized to have a solid background color.
We can create custom ink colors for a flat fee of $30 (shipping included). When you place your order, let us know that you would like to do a custom color in the order notes. During the proofing process, a variety of ink swatches will be printed on the same paper as your stationery and mailed to you for review.
To ensure the best color match, we recommend sending your color preference and approving your proofs no later than 3 days of receiving the swatches. Press colors can shift slightly over long periods of time, so it's best to print the order as soon as you make your decision.
Because all monitors display color differently, your printed stationery may not match what you see on your screen. We are unable to accept returns based on color for this reason.
If you are concerned about colors, we highly recommend ordering a sample set, which includes color charts on all of our paper options. The final prints will match our color charts.
All of our wedding invitations are flat printed using a state of the art professional printing press that results in crisp text and bold saturated color. The ink lays flat on the paper and is a perfect complement to our high quality cardstock options. Flat printing is currently our only printing option.
Backside printing is available for most items if needed. Pricing ranges from $0.50 to $1.00 per piece for the addition of backside design and printing. Please contact us if you need this service.
Our wedding invitations and save the dates are printed on your choice of our shimmer or matte cardstocks.
Our gorgeous white shimmer is a thick, 137lb/17pt heavyweight cover stock with a white base and a subtle shimmer finish. We also offer a 107lb/14pt cover stock in ivory shimmer.
Our upscale luxe matte is a 130lb/18pt heavyweight cover stock with a lush, matte, uncoated finish and comes in both white and ivory.
After you approve your proofs, our standard printing service takes 6 business days. Shipping is determined by the option you chose at checkout.
If you need your order sooner, rush printing and shipping options are available at checkout.
The proofing process includes three rounds of proofs; the first round is based off of the wording and colors submitted in your order and two rounds for revisions.
Wording changes, colors changes and minor layout adjustments can be made during the revision rounds. You will work 1-1 with a designer.
Change requests beyond our 2 complimentary revision rounds are invoiced at $25 per round.
All of our fonts have been carefully chosen to create unique and balanced designs. We generally do not offer font changes in order to preserve the integrity of our designs.
In some limited cases, we can make a substition as long as the font does not form the basis of the design. Please email us before ordering to make sure it's possible.
If you let us know the change you'd like to make prior to ordering, we can do one complimentary substition. Further font changes will incur a $25 design fee.
We are happy to do one complimentary design switch during the proofing process. The design switch will use one full round of proofs
Due to the amount of time and work involved, additional design switches will be subject to a $75 design fee.
Yes! If you have an A and B guest list and need a separate response date for each, we can split your response card order for a $25 fee. This fee covers the additional design work and press setup for preparing and printing the second version of the response card.
No. Your order includes electronic PDF proofs that will be emailed for your review. Hard copy proofs are not available. Electronic proofing is standard among stationers and is a cost effective and flexible way to review and make changes to your stationery before printing begins.
If you would like to see our printing, paper and ink options in person, we highly recommend ordering a sample set, which includes an example suite and printed color charts on all of our paper options.
We can design in most languages, but please contact us prior to ordering.
Additional fees may apply depending on the extent of the language used and the type of alphabet (roman versus non-roman).
Also, some fonts are not available in all languages which can affect the design.
Absolutely! Just enter the wording you would like during the personalization step and we will update your proofs to match.
For designs with large names, we can use the name of the honoree, or change the graphic heading to "Bridal Shower" or "Bat Mizvah".
All of our wedding invitations are sold as they are shown on our website. We cannot add artwork or logos to our designs.
Wedding invitations and save the dates ship flat and require assembly. Everything needed for assembly will be included with your order, as well as instructions.
Programs and place cards arrive folded and ready to use at your reception.
Yes. Our liners include instructions and professional tape strips for quick and easy assembly. They are 6.5×5.25″ in size and cover the interior of the envelope flap and 3/4 of the way into the envelope.
For double envelopes, only the inner envelopes have a liner option.
You should assemble your invitations in the following order: Invitation, large enclosure (printed side up), response envelope (printed side up), small enlcosure (printed side up) and then the belly band. Center the belly band around the stack of cards and carefully flip everything over while securing it with your grip. Use an adhesive dot (included) to secure the belly band on the back side.
For envelope liners, slip the loose liner into the open envelope. Please note that the liner will not reach the bottom of the envelope. This is by design. Adhere a tape strip (included) one quarter inch from the gummed section of the envelope. Pull the liner up over the tape strip and adhere, carefully centering it before pressing down.
Our wedding invitation suites range from 1 to 2 ounces depending on how many pieces you include in your package.
In general, packages that include an invitation, two enclosures and a belly band weigh 1 ounce even.
Packages with an invitation, three enclosures and a belly band weigh 2 ounces.
These weights are estimates and are not guaranteed; we highly recommend taking an assembled invitation to the post office to be officially weighed before purchasing and applying postage.

For personalized stationery, we are happy to cancel your order and process a full refund as long as proofs have not been sent.
If proofs have already been sent, there is a cancellation fee of 25% or $100, whichever is greater. This is due to the time we spend designing your custom proofs. Once completed, that part of the order cost cannot be refunded.

Should you need to cancel or make a change to your order after proof approval, please contact us asap. If your order has not yet gone into production, we can cancel it and process a refund less the design costs. Please note that upon approval, orders go to print almost immediately.
If your order is already in the process of printing, we may be able to stop it midway and recover some of the costs for a refund. If your order has completed the printing stage, we will not be able to cancel, refund, or accept a return on the order.
Custom printed stationery (any printed item that includes proofs) is not returnable. This is because custom printed items are created on a per order basis and cannot be resold.
If there is an issue with your order, please contact us! We're committed to your satisfaction and will be happy to work with you if you're unhappy for some reason.
Sample sets are not returnable.
If your sample was damaged in transit, or you received the wrong sample, please contact us and we will send a replacement.
You can return new, unused table numbers and stock signs within 14 business days of purchase.
Please contact us about your return and we will send you instructions. Pending receipt of your order in new, unused condition we will process your refund less the shipping charge on the original order.
Your stationery will be printed exactly as shown on the approved proofs. Should you find an error on your stationery, please contact us. We offer a discounted reprint and complimentary rush service for customer approved errors.
Please note that we cannot accept returns or process refunds due to errors on approved proofs, regardless of where the error originated. While we do our best to call attention to any errors we may see during the proofing process, final proofing is ultimately the responsibility of the client.
If your printed stationery does not match your approved proof, please contact us immediately and we will reprint the affected pieces free of charge.

So he was happy to fight and get paid but after decided it was a no contest?. What if he had won?
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
what grounds was it changed to a no contest on it doesn't say on sherdog.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
I guess we have an answerI'm 4-1-0 as a pro but listed as 4-2-0 on Sherdog – this is an error due to my fight with Artem Katov being ruled a No Contest bout. I took the fight 4 weeks after stomach surgery, my management and coaches didn't want me to fight but I was eager to get back in the cage and fight. I had to take the fight at welterweight because I couldn't make lightweight in time. The promoter changed my opponent on the night without telling me, he also forgot to mention the guy was 8kg heavier than me too but because I didn't want to let my fans down who paid good money to watch me fight I took it anyway. Warriors 1000 years ago on the battlefield didn't complain about weight different so neither did I
16-bit for life http://findingdyluck.blogspot.co.uk/
Just send the thread to Sherdog, they'll do it.
Poor form if this is a no contest, i remember watching this fight and Katov showcased some good wrestling and GnP, doing some decent damage in the process.
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get
Team Colosseum
Thats fucking hilarious hahaha getting a fight changed to a NC just cos you lost after admitting you took the fight anyway knowing the oppo's weight and name... there is gonna be a few guys getting back in the zero loss coloumn if thats the case ha ha!!
Im going off memory but Katov is the small stocky dude who then fought arish next isnt he? If so I remember seeing it and he won fair and square

The biggest lobster ever caught in Maine, a 27-pounder (12.25 kg) nicknamed "Rocky" with claws tough enough to snap a man's arm, was released back into the ocean on Thursday after being trapped in a shrimp net last week, marine officials said.
The 40-inch (one-meter) male crustacean, about the size of a 3-year-old child, was freed in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, said Elaine Jones, education director for the state's Department of Marine Resources.

Anger is a completely acceptable emotion, something every one of us experiences at one time or another. What is not acceptable is when anger escalates to the point of "rage". When anger reaches the that stage the person is being overly reactive to a situation and is acting out of feelings and not his or her rational thinking. When I work with clients with anger management issues I help them to understand that there are ways they can control anger so it doesn't take control of them. By helping clients understand that rage is never acceptable and providing them with strategies for staying in control, clients and their families can have safer, more meaningful, fulfilling relationships.

In terms of managing your anger, it is important to understand that anger is often the minds' way of protecting you, or of defending you from something. Often, people feel as if they have been a victim of something, and then they will act out in anger because they feel as if they need to protect themselves. If you understand why, it may be easier to get past the point of simply having outbursts.

Bustamante, without political strength or party, retains a military command.
As Bustamante advanced towards the coast his army melted away.
April 21 a general amnesty for political offences was declared in the vain hope of producing harmony (76to Bustamante, Apr. 21).
In 1718 Governor Bustamante reoccupied Zamboanga for the purpose of waging war against piracy.
Bustamante remained president until 1832, when a counter revolution, led by Santa Anna, drove him from power.
Bustamante immediately took steps to re-organize the government and to place the finances of the colony on a sound footing.
Bustamante seems to have vexed the Yucatecos by unwise interference in the commercial and industrial interests of the country.
Bustamante expressed an apparently sincere desire to do justice to all.
General Bustamante was chosen vice president, and the government again resumed its operation under the federal system of 1824.
This meant that Bustamante should recede from his position, remove all the oidores from prison, and accept them as an audiencia.

New and Updated Solutions Powered By the SAP HANA® Platform Offer End-to-End Process Control, Extended Visibility and Efficient Manufacturing Execution
HANNOVER, Germany - Underscoring a commitment to innovating the manufacturing process as part of "Industry 4.0," SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced new releases of manufacturing solutions and updates for existing solutions covering engineering, manufacturing and sustainable operations. The announcement was made at Hannover Messe 2013, being held April 8-12 in Hannover, Germany.
The manufacturing industry today is facing a technological milestone. Machines, production facilities and warehousing systems are able to autonomously exchange information, trigger actions and control each other, promising huge improvements in the industrial processes involved in manufacturing, engineering and service. This fourth industrial revolution, called Industry 4.0, offers the promise of bringing two worlds together — industrial manufacturing and next-generation IT — to create a new level of efficiency and effectiveness.
SAP is adapting Industry 4.0 principles through the development of "Idea to Performance," a holistic business approach to increase product and service performance. The approach enables full management of a product's entire life cycle from design to service within distinct scenarios. For example, "Responsive Manufacturing" delivers end-to-end processes integrating the plan-to-produce process. Embedded quality and compliance controls enable manufacturers to address nonconformance through corrective and preventive actions while simultaneously setting more predictable and shorter cycle times, helping to both improve asset utilization and support on-time delivery.
"Idea to Performance" incorporates enablement of new and existing solutions by SAP® Business Suite software powered by the SAP HANA® platform, first introduced in January 2013. "Responsive Manufacturing" is planned to be underpinned by offerings powered by SAP HANA, including the SAP® Overall Equipment Effectiveness Management (SAP OEE Management) application, which is planned to collect machine data via machine-to-machine (M2M) communication and transform it into analytical insights; the material requirement planning capability within the SAP® ERP application, which aims to deliver high-speed reads for a 50 percent reduction in run time; and the SAP® Product Portfolio Management application, which is intended to help improve the run time of critical project management transactions.
"At Elster, we see Industry 4.0 as an opportunity to engage with products that steer themselves intelligently through the production process and save all relevant data," said Roland Essmann, project lead MES, Elster GmbH. "SAP is one of the few IT companies who can cover all relevant processes end-to-end from R&D, engineering, construction, to sales in one standard system. With SAP Manufacturing Execution and SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence, data are well prepared to be transferred to a product and vice versa, and the solutions are web based, which is important to realize Industry 4.0 as well."
User Experience: Anytime, Anywhere Insight
To improve user experience across all applications, SAP is investing in making solutions more intuitive and appealing to users. Planned updates include:
Core Applications: Improving Quality
SAP's focus on Industry 4.0 centers on both new innovation and strategic updates to core applications, including those available via mobile app, helping ensure greater efficiency and increase product quality. Updates include:
Rapid-Deployment Solutions: Delivering Results Faster
SAP® Rapid Deployment solutions deliver preconfigured software and implementation services in one package, enabling customers to realize specialized business benefits within a shortened timeframe while laying the foundation for future expansion. Updates include:
"In today's competitive business environment, there is renewed focus on manufacturing as a space for innovation and revolution; IT provides significant potential for business process innovation in manufacturing," said Kerstin Geiger, senior vice president, Solution Management, Discrete and Process Industries, SAP. "By investing in predictive analytics and new technologies to help users in maintenance and after-market service, we are better able to serve the manufacturing industry as it continues to grow and evolve."

Thank you sunnymumof5 for your reply...
I'll try to visit my OB as soon as I can..
6th February 2014 07:08 AM #4
As sunnymumof5 helpfully says above; this does not sound normal I'm afraid so you should see your health professional. In particular, any discharge which is smelly could be a sign of an infection.
I hope your appointment goes well.
Warm wishes,

Dallas-raised Lawrence Wright takes on Scientology in new book
AUSTIN — Lawrence Wright doesn't seem at all the sort of person you'd find in public wearing a black cowboy shirt emblazoned with big white buffaloes. He's shy, soft-spoken, a little professorial.
But as if he didn't have enough to do, besides working on three plays simultaneously and getting ready to publish a new book, the Dallas native has been taking piano lessons with Floyd Domino, the two-time Grammy winner, and on a recent Saturday, in his buffalo shirt, he played in a concert at the Victory Grill here with the band WhoDo. Wright was at the keyboard, and sang solo on "Sixty-Minute Man" and the Count Basie tune "She's Funny That Way."
"I decided a while ago that I would only do things that are really important or really fun," Wright said. "This is really fun."
More fun, probably, than dealing with lawyers. His book, Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief, which Knopf has scheduled for release Jan. 17, is about the notoriously litigious Church of Scientology. Wright said he has received threatening letters from lawyers representing the church or some of the celebrities who belong to it. (Transworld, Wright's British publisher, recently canceled its plans to publish Going Clear, though a spokeswoman insisted that the decision was not made in response to threats from the church.)
The book, which recounts the history of Scientology through the interwoven stories of key figures like L. Ron Hubbard, the religion's founder, and celebrity Scientologists like John Travolta and Tom Cruise, claims among other things that the church has virtually imprisoned some of its members, threatening blackmail if they try to leave, and that its leader, David Miscavige, has physically abused some of his underlings.
In a statement, Karin Pouw, a Scientology spokeswoman, said that Wright and his publisher refused to provide a copy of the book in advance and "showed little interest in receiving input" from the church. "The portions you cite from the book are preposterous lies," she said, adding that "the allegation about Mr. Miscavige is false and defamatory."
Wright insists that he did not set out to write an exposé. "Why would I bother to do that?" he said. "Scientology is probably the most stigmatized religion in America already. But I'm fascinated by it and by what drives people to Scientology, especially given its image."
He added: "There are many countries where you can only believe more or you can believe less. But in the United States we have this incredible smorgasbord, and it really interests me why people are drawn to one faith rather than another, especially to a system of belief that to an outsider seems absurd or dangerous."
Wright, whose previous book, The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11, won the Pulitzer Prize in 2007, is no stranger to writing about secretive organizations. In the case of Scientology, he said, he had been looking for what he calls a "donkey" — a character strong and sympathetic enough to carry a complicated story. "I don't mean it in a disparaging way," he explained. "A donkey is a very useful beast of burden."
In 2010 he found one in Paul Haggis, the winner of back-to-back Oscars for Million Dollar Baby, which he wrote, and Crash, which he wrote and directed. Haggis defected from Scientology in 2009 after 34 years in the church, during which he rose to one of its highest ranks.
In 2011 Wright published a profile of Haggis in The New Yorker, and in the course of the fact-checking process, Tommy Davis, the international spokesman for Scientology, did Wright an unwitting favor. He showed up in The New Yorker offices with four lawyers and 47 white binders full of material about the church.
"I suppose the idea was to drown me in information," Wright recalled, "but it was like trying to pour water on a fish. I looked on those binders with a feeling of absolute joy."
In all, Wright spoke to some 200 current and former Scientologists, only a few of whom insisted on anonymity. He started with Haggis, he said, and one name led to another.
One of his sources, Amy Scobee, said of meeting Wright: "I had already taken the plunge and decided to speak out. But I've been approached by a lot of people who just want a quick sound bite. He wasn't a Johnny-come-lately. I felt he had real integrity."
A color-coded outline for Going Clear is still on a wall-size whiteboard in Wright's office in his house here. Next to it is an equally large whiteboard outlining a play Wright has written about the Camp David accords, which is expected to have its premiere at Arena Stage in Washington next season. In February he is going to London for a reading of a play he has written about the making of the movie Cleopatra. And in March a play he has written about journalist Oriana Fallaci will open at Berkeley Rep in California.
Wright, who has also appeared in two one-man shows based on his own journalism, said that he didn't see much disconnection between his books and his theatrical writing.
"They're all kin," he said. "I did interviews and have notecards for Oriana." He also interviewed people who had worked on Cleopatra. "I like the serendipitous surprises of reality," he said. "I get more pleasure from discovering it than from inventing it."

A Referendum on RomneyMargaret Carlson
Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Whatever happened to, "He's a nice guy, he just isn't up to the job"?
That was Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's initial critique of President Barack Obama -- employing the challenger's usual strategy of making the campaign a referendum on the incumbent. What a good way to put it. Said more in sorrow than in anger, this statement allowed Romney to play the father disappointed in his well-meaning teenage son, who had driven the family car (or, in this case, the economy) into a ditch. It displayed no disdain for the president (that can be done at private fundraisers). It allowed voters to separate the president, whom many still liked, from his presidency, which most disapproved of.
With unemployment stuck at more than 8 percent, weak growth, millions of homeowners still underwater and a general feeling that no one is better off than he or she was four years ago, the theory went, voters would be more than willing to take a chance on the new guy.
But a couple of things happened to that strategy along the way to Election Day: One was named Paul Ryan, and the other was named Mitt Romney.
Badly Defined
Romney initially found himself playing defense because of the Obama campaign's early advertising. This barrage helped to define Romney as a founder of Bain Capital LLC, a company that made profits from firing workers and shutting down companies, with Romney nonetheless taking his share of those profits, some of which were stashed in havens in the Cayman Islands, although we couldn't be sure how much because he wouldn't release all his tax returns.
With the argument no longer viable that Romney would do for the U.S. what Bain did for the private sector, he looked to other lines on his resume. They were more trouble than they were worth: He was governor, sure, but of a blue state where he dabbled in socialized medicine and was soft on gays, women and Democrats.
Saving the Olympics? Yes, but because of federal money as much as management acumen. He became so defensive about that chapter, he overshot his mark when visiting London just before this year's games, criticizing them before they even started. The rest of his trip wasn't that great, either.
By then, the election was no longer about the lousy job Obama was doing but about the lousy campaign Romney was running. The initial strategy -- turning it into a referendum on Obama -- was in tatters, and Romney needed to click the "Refresh" button.
He had two big opportunities to turn the election back into a referendum -- his choice for his running mate and the convention. But by choosing Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, an archconservative famous for his draconian budgets, Romney made the race even more about Romney.
Yes, Ryan might help Romney secure his base -- which was (and still is) suspicious that the flip-flopper has permanently settled on its side -- and he might help Romney answer critics who say he is not being specific about what he would do in office. Yet Romney found himself explaining what Ryan would be doing in office. The Ryan Plan to address the federal deficit was famous; there was no such famous Romney Plan. Could anyone name one point of Romney's 59-point plan? (Oh, never mind: It was later replaced by a five-point plan. At least his campaign was getting more concise.)
When Romney realized just what was in Ryan's plan, he flipped like a seal. He said he and Ryan would be running on the Romney budget, whatever that is, not the one cooked up by deficit hawks in Congress, and on his Medicare-reform plan, whatever that is, not one that would alter Medicare drastically and cut it by $716 billion.
Poorly Executed
Romney blew his vice-presidential choice. The election was no more a referendum on Obama than it had been before Ryan's selection. Surely Romney could get his campaign back to its core message at the Republican National Convention, where he would be executive producer, director and star.
He spectacularly didn't. The great manager didn't manage his convention. As he limped out of Tampa, Florida, after two failed attempts to regain control of his campaign, he was hit with something he couldn't control: a videotape of remarks to a gathering of fellow plutocrats. In an impressive display of efficiency, he insulted 47 percent of Americans in one fell swoop, some of whom no doubt labor in one of his many houses or are building his car elevator. To Romney, they are self-described victims, failing to take responsibility for themselves, waiting for government handouts.
How could someone whose stock in trade was his very CEO-ness let things get so bad? Romney has probably been thinking about running for president for more than four decades, since his father's defeat in 1968. He has spent the better part of the last six years actually running for president. Yet he has managed to bungle the main message of his campaign.
Now this election is a referendum not on the incumbent, but on the challenger. And Romney has to show that he is more competent than his campaign. ("That was me," he admirably admitted on CBS's "60 Minutes" when asked about that videotape. "That's not the campaign.") He has to show that he understands the lives of the people he would lead (or is "likeable enough," as Obama said of Hillary Clinton), and that he is the better person to run the country.
Romney brought this burden on himself. As for Obama? All he has to do is show that Romney may be a nice guy, but he just isn't up to the job.

Take my money Apple! I need more idevices for my collection.
Anyone been to the Apple website recently? The iPad3 no longer exists.
So its only 6 months old and Apple dont want to admit its existence.
Siri was excluded from those devices to try to push people to upgrade .. They are using Siri again this time for the same reason... my iPad is plenty fast enough for Siri.. my iPod struggles a little with it ..
I warn you this will be a bit of a rant here [ BEGIN RANT ]
That is the only thing that annoys me about Apple.. I love their products and have been loyal to them since I bought the 1st gen ipod .. but they intentionally excluded features to get people to upgrade .. Consider the MMS crap ... phones have been picture messaging for years.. iPhone 1 came out and it lacked picture messaging .. Jobs reportedly said there's no need for MMS because it's antiquated, email is better.. then the next generation iPhone had MMS capabilities with their new phone.. the official response then was that the iPhone 1 lacked hardware support for MMS ... Cue in the hugely popular ( at the time ) iPhone app SwirlyMMS which brought MMS support to the iPhone 1 .. even my first cell phone YEARS ago supported MMS... Jailbreakers even found a simple plist tweak to enable the built in MMS features on the iPhone 1 .. they intentionally turned it off on the older phones to give a reason to upgrade... they blatantly lied about the MMS stuff.
So the short thing about Siri is that iPod 4g, iPhone 4, iPad 2 and 3 .. are all fully capable of running Siri.. the newer devices just have better microphone / filtering technology..
Just looked on apple web and there is no mention of 3rd Gen iPad nothing on the compare iPad page have they forgot they made a 3rd Gen. The 4th gen is called iPad with retina display, hang on apple the 3rd Gen had a retina display you forget that... Lol, I love apple.
Comparing cars to ipads is silly at best... the prices are so drastically different...
The original poster had a point... the new ipad is marginally better.. they should have stuck with their silly conventions and just called this the iPad 3s ... it didn't warrant being a whole new generation of iPad ...
and the iPad mini is grossly over priced.. you can just shell out a bit more and have a full blown iPad ... I honestly think Steve Jobs is probably rolling in his grave right about now..
When it comes to a Mustang V6 vs a Boss 302 .. ( 2013 ) .. a new one is going to cost you about 40 grand... v6 is going to cost you about 22 grand.. that means not quite, but almost a 50% price difference..
The iPad 3 vs the iPad 4 isn't nearly a 50% price difference.. even an iPad 2 is $399... the iPad mini is $329 ... the iPad 4 is $499 ..
So the comparison you made is nonsense...
To borrow from the poster before me about cars.. only more accurately.. it would be like selling a v6 mustang for 30 grand and a boss for 40 grand.. it would make people mad for one thing.. ( and it should ) .. and it also just makes no sense.. if it's twice as fast and twice as good.. it should cost twice as more than an iPad 2 .. so to me if an iPad 4 ( iPad with Retina ) is $499 then a fair price would be $299 .. and an iPad mini .. $199 .. or $249 even would be OK ..
If I were setting the pricing it would be something like this:
iPad 2: $299
iPad Mini: $199 or $229 max
iPad 3: ( should still be sold ) ... $399
iPad with Retina and the twice as fast CPU: $499
If they did that... anyone looking at a $199 tablet would easily consider the iPad 2 .. Perhaps they don't want to eliminate the competition..
Me at a shop, talking to the store employee:
- good morning! (Tim Cook's style, waving around as if I know everyone)
- good morning sir, what can I do for you today?
- I would like to buy the new iPad, 16GB, wifi+cellular
- which new iPad sir, the new iPad or the new iPad?
- uhhh...hummm... The new one, I guess? Don't they have a proper naming for those things?
- they are called new iPad...
- ok so i will take the new one...
- which new one sir?
Ok, I will get back to sleep now...
PS: oh, and before people start calling me "troll", this is from someone that has an iPad, iPhone and Macbook...
Bummer always got a new iPad in April for my birthday. Guess I will wait until next years iPad.
The point is better is better. and btw apple is still not putting a number on it. So your point of an iPad 3s makes no sense.
Yes I took my comparison to the extreme. But I'm just tired of ignorant people complaining that apple made something better. I also don't see how making something 2x faster is marginal?? It's not even like they are charging more for it.
People are mad because they just got a 3rd gen iPad and now there is a 4th months later. I know I'm upset about it.
But at the same time is the new iPad that much better than the iPad 3? For daily use probably not. So really apple did everyone a favor by speeding up there incremental update so now next year (or in two years when most that purchased the 3rd gen wil want to buy the newest one) it won't be just a marginal increase.
I wish iPhones were hard ware refreshed evey half year lol.
ipad4 is only great if you dont already have an ipad3
I buy the new iPhones every year and the new iPads. Very disappointed they are releasing a new iPad this soon. I guess this will motivate me not to upgrade as much. I feel kind of ripped off. I never was one to think apples products were over priced but releasing a new one this soon is kind of ridiculous. I use their products because I like their customer service and the way their products work but I don't feel I have seen much innovation the last couple years.

Pope Francis Accidentally Drops The F Bomb!
The Pope was giving an Italian blessing when he said cazzo instead of caso. Cazzo is equal to "f*ck" in Italian, but also could be thought of as "c*ck" or "d*ck." Italians say the mistake is a common one and just laugh it off. So far the Vatican hasn't spoken out about it.
Check out the video below, what do you think?

The first book today is Irving Stone's Lust for Life. It is a novel based on the life of Vincent van Gogh. Stone has done such a tremendous work that I don't remember anybody else doing the same. Nobody has written so intimately about somebody else, as if he is writing from his very own being.
Lust for Life is not just a novel, it is a spiritual book. It is spiritual in my sense, because to me all dimensions of life have to be incorporated into a single synthesis; only then one is spiritual. The book is written so beautifully that the possibility that even Irving Stone will be able to transcend it is remote.
After that book he wrote many others, and my second book today is also by Irving Stone. I count it second because it is secondary, not of the quality of Lust for Life. It is The Agony and the Ecstasy, again based on another life in the same way. Perhaps Stone was thinking that he would be able to create another Lust for Life, but he failed. Although he failed, the book stands second - not to any other but to his own. There are hundreds of novels written on the lives of artists, poets, painters, but none of them reaches even to the height of the second book, what to say of the first. Both are beautiful, but the first is of transcendental beauty.
The second book is a little lower, but it is not the fault of Irving Stone. When you know that you have written a book like Lust for Life, the ordinary human instinct is to imitate oneself, to create something of the same order, but the moment you imitate it cannot be the same. When he wrote Lust he was not imitating, he was a virgin island. When he wrote The Agony and the Ecstasy he was imitating himself, and that is the worst imitation. Everybody does it in their own bathroom, looking in the mirror.. That's what one feels about his second book. But I say even though it is only a reflection in the mirror, it reflects something of the real; hence I count it.
I was just asking Gudia whose life Irving Stone had written about in The Agony and the Ecstasy, because as far as I am concerned I have completely forgotten. That too is very rare; I don't forget easily. I forgive easily but I don't forget easily. Whose life did he write about, do you know, Devaraj? Was it Gauguin?
"It was Michelangelo, Osho."
Michelangelo? A great life. Then Stone has missed much. If it had been Gauguin then it would have been okay, but if it is Michelangelo then I am sorry; even I cannot forgive him. But he writes beautifully. His prose is like poetry, although the second book is not of the same quality as Lust for Life. It cannot be for the simple reason that there has never been a man like Vincent van Gogh. That Dutch fellow was just inimitable! He stands alone. In the whole sky full of stars he shines alone, separately, uniquely in his own way. To write a great book on him is easy, and it would have been so on Michelangelo, but Stone was trying to imitate himself; hence he missed. Never be an imitator. Do not follow.not even yourself.

'I know you guys are on my side and this is great, but I'm still worried as fuck TBH. I'm really hoping that they don't have cameras in Tesco anyway. The only way i can be caught is if they have cctv footage and can find me and identify me. I dunno if i can try and say he instigated it by running his trolley into me?
'Um, seriously, I don't think anyone here is on yr side. You sound fucking insane. You knocked an old man to the ground for NO JUST reason & kicked him in the ribs? Of course they have CCTV, & I hope they find you, you maniac'
Stubbsy, some people hope you will be found 'you maniac', but there's always people on your side (...and prepared to do character witnesses for you in court). I'll stick up for ya mate, lol!

Jennifer Lawrence, Real-Life Hero: 'Hunger Games' Actress Aids Fainting Girl
Jennifer Lawrence to the rescue! The actress ran to the aid of a girl collapsed on her lawn yesterday.
-Lucia Peters
As if we needed another reason to love Jennifer Lawrence, now there's this: Yesterday, she rushed to the aid of a young girl who had collapsed on her lawn. Katniss to the rescue!
X17 broke the news first, writing that Jennifer was walking her dog near her Santa Monica, CA apartment when she found the girl passed out in front of her building. She rushed to help the girl, while another bystander called 911. The Daily Mail had a few more details; apparently a group of six police officers and paramedics arrived to assist the girl, who was given the all-clear on the scene. No hospital visits this time, thank goodness!
Read First Look: Lana Del Rey as Jackie O in "National Anthem" Music Video
Cops and paramedics on the scene.
The cause of the girl's collapse is unclear, though the Santa Monica Police apparently told TMZ that "alcohol may have played a role in the incident." I'd take that with a grain of salt if I were you, though (you'd think that a bunch of paramedics would be able to figure out pretty easily whether or not there was booze involved, right?).
Anyway, we're glad the girl is okay. Kudos to Jennifer and the other bystander for helping her out!

They symbolize risk-taking, vision and pioneering spirit in the federal IT community.
"I am very proud of these eleven honorees," noted Administrator Lurita Doan. "Their dedication and spirit demonstrate once again the great job GSA employees do for their government and our country." Winners must first be nominated for the Federal 100 by their peers in the federal IT community and an independent panel of judges then selects the winners.
GSA employees among the Federal 100 for 2006 who will be honored tonight are:
• Ms. Lisa Akers – Director, Federal Systems Integration and Management Center, Office of Assisted Acquisition Services, Federal Acquisition Service (FAS)
• Mr. James Ghiloni - Acting Director, Center for Government-wide Acquisition Contracts Programs, FAS

Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 170,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
