Oral thrush — also called oral candidiasis (kan-dih-DIE-uh-sis) — is a condition in which the fungus Candida albicans accumulates on the lining of your mouth. Candida is a normal organism in your mouth, but sometimes it can overgrow and cause symptoms.
Oral thrush causes creamy white lesions, usually on your tongue or inner cheeks. Sometimes oral thrush may spread to the roof of your mouth, your gums or tonsils, or the back of your throat.
Although oral thrush can affect anyone, it's more likely to occur in babies, the elderly, and in people with suppressed immune systems or certain health conditions, or those who take certain medications. Oral thrush is a minor problem if you're healthy, but if you have a weakened immune system, symptoms of oral thrush may be more severe and difficult to control.
Initially, you may not even notice symptoms of oral thrush. Depending on the underlying cause, signs and symptoms may develop slowly or suddenly, and they may persist for days, weeks or months. Signs and symptoms may include:
In severe cases, the lesions may spread downward into your esophagus — the long, muscular tube stretching from the back of your mouth to your stomach (Candida esophagitis). If this occurs, you may experience difficulty swallowing or feel as if food is getting stuck in your throat.
In addition to the distinctive white mouth lesions, infants may have trouble feeding or be fussy and irritable. They can pass the infection to their mothers during breast-feeding. The infection may then pass back and forth between the mother's breasts and the baby's mouth.
Women whose breasts are infected with candida may experience these signs and symptoms:
If you or your child develops painful white lesions inside the mouth, see your doctor or dentist. If thrush develops in older children or teenagers, seek medical care. An underlying medical condition or certain treatments may be the cause.
Normally, your immune system works to repel harmful invading organisms, such as viruses, bacteria and fungi, while maintaining a balance between "good" and "bad" microbes that normally inhabit your body. But sometimes these protective mechanisms fail, increasing the number of candida fungi and allowing an oral thrush infection to take hold.
Oral thrush and other candida infections can occur when your immune system is weakened by disease or by drugs such as prednisone, or when antibiotics disturb the natural balance of microorganisms in your body.
These diseases and conditions may make you more susceptible to oral thrush infection:
Anyone can develop oral thrush, but the infection is more common in certain people. Risk factors include:
Oral thrush is seldom a problem for healthy children and adults, although the infection may return even after it's been treated. For people with lowered immunity, such as from HIV or cancer, however, thrush can be more serious. Untreated oral thrush can lead to more-serious systemic candida infections.
If you have a suppressed immune system:
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor or pediatrician. However, if you have an underlying condition that's contributing to the problem, you may then be referred to a specialist for treatment.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment.
For oral thrush, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask any other questions that occur to you.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
Oral thrush can usually be diagnosed simply by looking at the lesions, but sometimes a small sample is examined under a microscope to confirm the diagnosis.
In older children or teens who have no identified risk factors, an underlying medical condition may be the cause of oral thrush. If your doctor suspects that's the case, he or she will likely perform a physical exam and recommend certain blood tests to help find the source of the problem.
Thrush that extends into the esophagus can be serious. To help diagnose this condition, your doctor may ask you to have one or both of these tests:
The goal of any oral thrush treatment is to stop the rapid spread of the fungus, but the best approach may depend on your age, your overall health and the cause of the infection.
These suggestions may help during an outbreak of oral thrush:
These measures may help reduce your risk of developing candida infections:

Large turnout for Cleveland Pride 2013
(Cleveland) - The 25th annual Cleveland Pride Parade and Festival was held in downtown Saturday.
The gay-pride parade stepped off at noon from West Third Street and St. Clair Avenue and made its way east on Lakeside Avenue, to Voinovich Bicentennial Park.
At the festival there was continuing entertainment 1 to 9 p.m. on two stages. Among the performers was the North Coast Men's Chorus.
There seemed to be a larger turnout this year, with many attendees explaining it was their fest time visiting the event.
Many say they are excited with the Supreme Court's decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act, and feel decision brings gays one step closer to full equality.

Among those attending was Casey Van Buskirk of the group Freedom Ohio which is gathering petition signatures to put marriage equality of the November 2014 ballot.
He contends that as more Ohioans discover their gay relatives they will be more support of marriage equaity.

Dalia Dippolito Story Made into a Book
The story of a Boynton Beach woman who conspired with a hit man to arrange to kill her husband, is now the subject of a book.
"Poison Candy: The Murderous Madam: Inside Dalia Dippolito's Plot to Kill" will be released in February 2014, but you can pre-order now.
The authoris of the book are Elizabeth Parker, the lead prosecutor in teh Dalia Dippolito trial and award-winning journalist Mark Ebner.
In August 2009, Dippolito thought she was hiring a hitman to kill her husband, but it turns out that "hitman" was actually an undercover Boynton Beach cop. The entire thing was caught on video and used against Dalia in court.
She was sentenced to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of the murder-for-hire plot.
Dippolito is out of jail on house arrest, pending an appeal of her case.
The above video shows Dalia Dipplito arriving home to find detectives with the Boynton Beach Police Department telling her that her husband had been found murdered inside. They took her to the police station, where he showed up, alive and well.

25 Things About 'Mad Men's' Jessica Paré
Curious about the new Mrs. Draper? Here's everything you need to know about Mad Men star Jessica Paré!
-Lucia Peters
The long-awaited fifth season of AMC's hit show Mad Men premiered just two weeks ago, but already the blogosphere is abuzz with Jessica Paré. Jessica first appeared on the show in the fourth season as Megan Calvet, Don Draper's (Jon Hamm) secretary—until a surprise proposal at the end of the season made her into the next Mrs. Draper. And we certainly have to say, Megan certainly is a keeper! But how much do you know about the actress who plays her? From her family life to her thoughts about her teeth, here's your crash course in everything Jessica!
1. Jessica Paré was born on December 5, 1982. That makes her 29 years old.
2. She's Canadian—and French Canadian, at that. Jessica was born in Montreal, Quebec, and she was raised in the neighborhood of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.
3. Both of Jessica's parents were actors, so acting is in her blood. Her father, Anthony, was a drama teacher and toured with a theatre production; meanwhile, her mother, Louise Mercier, acted in amateur productions.
4. Additionally, her father is the Chair of the Department of Educational Studies at McGill University, and her mother is a conference interpreter. Way to put those theatre skills to good use!
5. Jessica herself got interested in acting while helping her father learn his lines for a production of Shakespeare's The Tempest.
6. Like Megan, Jessica's Mad Men character, the actress is bilingual: She speaks both French and English. Makes sense, since they're both from Montreal!
7. She has three brothers.
8. Her family is Catholic.
Read 10 Celebs As Your Favorite Easter Candy
From left to right: Director Lea Pool, Jessica, Piper Perabo, and Micha Barton on the set of 2001's Lost and Delirious.
9. Jessica attended a private Catholic girl's high school in Montreal called Villa Maria; she also studied drama at New York's TheatreWorks USA. After high school, she attended Montreal's Dawson College for a year before dropping out to pursue acting.
10. Favorite roles she played in high school productions as a teenager include Jesus in Godspell and Maid Marian in Robin Hood.
11. The year 2000 brought Jessica's big break: A Canadian film called Stardom, about a teen girl who is plucked from obscurity of a girl's hockey team to become a supermodel. The film was screened at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, throwing the teenaged Jessica into the limelight.
12. The story of Stardom oddly parallelsJessica's own experiences: With only two small roles on her resume, she had initially auditioned for a bit part in the film, only to end up landing the lead. In fact, director Denys Arcand actually had to buy out a contract with a 26-year-old actress he had already signed to play the role. Awkward? A little—but excellent for Jessica's budding career!
13. Like her character in Stardom, Jessica once tried to become a model, but the agency told her she was "too fat." We think they're crazy.
14. After a couple of years of indie films like 2001's Lost and Delirious and miniseries like Random Passage and Napoleon, Jessica made her Hollywood debut in 2004's Wicker Park. A remake of the French film L'Appartement, Jessica played Josh Hartnett's fiancée in a tangled tale of love and desire. Unfortunately the film wasn't very well received—but hey, you've got to start somewhere!

Good luck if you have ANY issues with your order that require a possible return. I got the wrong Microsoft Office disc. I didn't realize this until I put the PC disc into my Mac (which my Mac wouldn't read). I called them and they simply would not refund my money.
When I asked to speak with the supervisor Wes ** told me, "I AM the supervisor." I asked to speak to his boss and he said, "If you continue on like this, I will release you from the call." I called customer service who told me, "Oh, I know how frustrating this is," yet they still wouldn't refund my money. Mind you, I'm a professor at an affiliated school. They have my ID. It's obvious that I'm not a software hacker. In the end they didn't refund a dime. A company EARNS your business and your hard earned dollars. They didn't.
TEXAS -- I ordered three products from JourneyEd: Win7 Ultimate, Win10, and Office 2010. In order to do business with them you must "qualify" by having an affiliation with an educational institution. I submitted my credentials and my downloads were approved within a couple of days (there was a holiday involved, I doubt that it normally takes that long). I used the links on their website and the download system worked as it should. However, I did not have keys for any of the products that were ordered. I went back to my email - nothing. I checked junk mail - nothing.
I called customer service and after a very long wait spoke to a CSR that advised I should have received an email with the keys for each order. She resent the emails, but they still didn't come through. The only explanation I can come up with is that our university has something in place that was flagging their emails and blocking them. I provided an alternative email address and the CSR resent the emails to that address and I promptly received the keys for each product I had purchased. Initially, I thought I had been scammed, but in the end I got what I ordered with keys and my software was a great value.
AUSTIN, TEXAS -- It's funny how you only find out how bad a company is AFTER it's too late. My experience is like many you'll read about with JourneyEd.com. My complaint with them is actually 3-fold. 1. Like many people you'll hear "Wasn't informed produce was on backorder". Now how absurd is this? I Pre-Ordered, a month, in advance of the release date, Adobe CS5 Master Collection. Then was told the day after the release of the product it was back ordered. So they over sold a pre-order, then didn't advise me of it until I called them asking why my order was in "pending" status rather than "shipped"... but from the time I spent on hold, it's easy to guess, I'm not the only one.
Since this was one of those deals that was "to good to pass up", I canceled my order with Amazon, because I was saving about 150 dollars going with JourneyEd.com. Now if I wanted to get it from Amazon, it's 150 dollars more than what the pre-order price was, so I'm stuck either waiting indefinitely or paying considerably more money "Ballpark $300 more" from another vendor.
How can a company that is marketed though schools to educators and students have 33 complaints filed to the BBB over 7 years (keep in mind, most people with billing issue just call their credit card companies for disputes not the BBB) and have an A- rating? It's the same song and dance with JourneyEd.com - it's been for 7 years (apparently) Not notifying people of back orders, double billing and poor customer service. This place was a link though my student portal at Art Institute, I expected for it to be above board. I would never have expected this... and hence way I didn't research this company, rather just the pricing.
Here's what it boils down to, You have a company "Journey Education Marketing", which seems to own "almost" every game in town for getting education version of software (from what I've read). They are obviously collecting orders, to place all at once to get huge savings. Because of this, they refuse to notify customers of "Back Ordered items" because let's face it: A, it wouldn't have been going on for 7 years. And B, that would lead to cancellation of orders.
Now this is all compounded because these guys outsource the actual shipping of the product (from what I've read) and they are "Marketing" themselves to students who are far less likely to complain for many reason, which is part of why there is obviously only 33 complaints. Simply from an ethical stand point, clearly JourneyEd.com is not a company you want to do business with, nor should any institution for learning. What kind of example does this really set for students and what type of people are schools choosing to do business with?
This has been going on for over 7 years, they still don't notify customers of BO status or even have on their website if products are instock. In 2010, any reputable website will tell you if an item's in stock unless it really is a super small company... If it's as large as JourneyEd.com the "Academic Superstore" is, offers great deals, but no in stock information - BEWARE because you're going to be sorry.
The red flag should have appeared for me the second time I ordered from JourneyEd and they sent me two of the same product, when I had only ordered one. An hour on hold the phone to make them aware of the situation and trying to find where to ship it to only to find that once I let them know of the mistake, they charged my credit card again. Insult to injury came when they would not reimburse me for the return shipping to correct the mistake they made. Two hours and two weeks later, they finally credited my credit card for the second charge. (The one they would never have made if I had not been honest.)
Wind the clock up to a semester later: I have to order on short notice products from them that were not included in my kit at school. I order and pay for 2 day shipping. This was on Feb 9, 2010. Two days later, I get an email that my order was cancelled due to "credit card fraud"... the very same card we used the last time. They "re-keyed" the order and I was told it went through.. Still paying for second day delivery, this order was placed on the 11th of Feb.
February 15th no order arrival. I call them at 8:00 am est and immediately wait on hold for an hour. Finally get some sleepy customer service representative who tells me she "just got in and the computers are slow" and that is the reason why she cannot provide me with a UPS tracking number. I ask for a supervisor, and like everyone else, get voicemail. I write an email via the website's contact form, which states that "most emails are answered in 24 hours or less."
February 16th... 9:00 am EST call and am immediately on hold for 48 minutes. I end up getting the same rude customer service representative from the day before and she tells me it has been less than 24 hours. By my clock, it had already been 25 hours and 18 minutes. She then informs me that "they are very busy..." As if I'm not. I go through the same request for a supervisor and email form as the day before. Same results.
Today, the 17th. 7:00 am - On hold for a record one hour and 38 minutes before getting a customer service representative. I explain the situation once again and he tells me that I have cancelled my order and have been refunded on the 13th of February. I explain I'm looking at my online card statement and no refund was ever issued, and I never made any such request. He tells me, "Well it sounds like you have a lot to say, so I am putting you in touch with a supervisor..." Voicemail again. No response Again.
Effectively, I have been robbed of $250.00 by JourneyEd. There is no other way to put it: They are lying thieves. Tomorrow's Mission: Sit with the school store administrator, the Dean of Academic Affairs, The Dean of Student affairs of the Art Institute of Philadelphia and discuss with them their relationship with JourneyEd and if it is an asset to the school or not.
I attend Kaplan university online. I ordered Microsoft office to complete my assignments through the student store via JourneyEd.com on Jan 28Th 2010. They sent me an e-mail stating that my order was back ordered and opted for me to get an instant download. I agreed but the key code was invalid. My total order was 107.95. This included 19.95 for overnight shipping. It is now Feb 15Th 2010 and I have yet to receive anything valid. Called everyone on the employee menu and finally after setting my alarm for 7:30 am got customer service, who told me my request for a refund will be filled within 24 hours. That was 3 days ago, NO RESPONSE AND NO REFUND.
I went to Best Buy and bought the program for 149.00 so I'm out big time. I called supervisors and was guaranteed a return call within 2 hours... 3 weeks pass and no phone call. I called collections dept with ** answering quickly (amazing how they answer calls when they think they can get paid). She gave me direct line to ** (customer service supervisor) And again no return call... All I want is a refund of my 107.95 because I did not get what I ordered. I call everyday with the same result. If you are needing a software program DO NOT... I REPEAT DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE EVEN THOUGH IT'S THROUGH YOUR SCHOOL!!!!! I will fight this till I die!!!!
It's not so much about the money any more. I'm pissed because if I wanted to just give money away I would have sent it to Haiti. Oh they will pay me back one way or the other, voluntary or through a lawsuit their choice. CROOKED CROOKED PEOPLE!!!!! I am submitting my complaint and evidence to school today, hopefully they will be dropped as a sponsor for academic software and supplies... PEOPLE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE..
From one pissed off student.
On January 15th of 2010 I placed an online order with JourneyEd (http://www.journeyed.com/), today is March 1, 2010 and I still have not received my order. Since my order has been placed I have made 4 calls to JourneyEd's customer service line and every time I call I have another horrible experience. To start, the wait to speak to someone is at a minimum a half hour. To top off the long wait, the woman who recorded the holding message is so incredibly annoying obnoxious and patronizing that I cannot even begin to explain it.
The first time I got through I was told I would have my order in 24 hours (seemingly, great although a long wait considering they were sending an electronic download and they should have been able to send it on the spot, and I had placed my order 2 weeks ago). Anyway, a week went by and no order. I called back only to find out that the email addresses they had for me were completely wrong. Therefore, they had sent my $750 worth of electronic software to the wrong person.
To this day I do not understand how they had the wrong email, considering they sent the original order confirmation email to the correct one. Okay so now they have the new email addresses...and I SHOULD have my order in 24 hours. Another week goes by and no email. So I called again... this time asking to speak to a supervisor. I am forwarded to the supervisor line and no one answers, so I must leave a message, which I am SURE will be returned promptly.
Not wanting to wait forever to hear back I immediately call again, only to be told that they need my edu email address, an address I have sent over a month ago. Now I am being told it will be taken care of in a few hours. This whole situation has been incredibly stressful. NEVER order from this company, no matter how good of a deal you think you are getting.
I ordered software from JourneyEd on Sept. 1 after realizing that I had the wrong software for the class that I am in. I had used the website last semester, and did not have an issue at all. This time though, is completely different. After ordered software on the 1st of Sept. I received a confirmation email on the 2nd. That email basically said that I ordered so and so software, and paid this much for it.. blah blah blah... I then received the same exact email later that day, and then again on the 3rd. Out of curiosity, I decided to email them back and find out why they kept emailing me the same exact email. I never received a reply.
On the 6th, I finally gave them a call after realizing that I paid almost $20 for 2 shipping, and it still was not there... Apparently there was an issue with the credit card (my mom paid for it, and it was a different address). After calling up there 3 DIFFERENT TIMES, I finally got that straightened out. I then received another "confirmation email" stating the same exact thing that the other 3 said. Here it is, Sept 8th and I still do not have the software.
I called up there again!!! The guy on the phone was pretty nice.. but I learned that the product is now on back order!!! He said that their system showed that they sent out emails whenever there was an issue with my order which is not true. I have every email that they sent me. Needless to say if I could afford to pay actual price for this software ($1000, instead of 200) then I def. would have just so I would not have to deal with this company. It's not fair for them to be taking advantage of students the way that they are.
DALLAS, TEXAS -- I would NEVER suggest buying from JourneyEd! On a scale of 1-10, their customer service ranks a big fat ZERO! I tried to order the Adobe Creative Suite through a link on my school login page and was taken to the JourneyEd site. I placed my order - No problem. I got my confirmation from JourneyEd and thought that everything was fine - No problem. One week passed, two weeks passed, and I sent TWO inquiries to them asking about my order. Finally (almost 4 weeks later) I had to call them after getting two confusing emails, one behind the other on the same day. One of them was another order confirmation, the other was saying that my order was cancelled.
I am LIVID! I was expecting this order to arrive weeks ago because I was working from a trial version of Illustrator for a class - Now THIS. When I spoke to the customer service representative today, I was told that my order was, indeed, cancelled... something about not being on an "approved" list. You think that could have been relayed to me somehow? Considering that I reached them THROUGH my school website after logging in, you would think that would be a given. Even so, a little courtesy to explain what happened would have been nice.
This is the second order that I've placed with JourneyEd, and GUESS WHAT? Also the second time I've had a problem with them though it was for a different reason last time. The item was no longer stocked and I got no feedback from them until I sent two inquiries. Finally they responded that I could cancel my order because the book I wanted was no longer sold, which I did, so 2 and a half months later, I got a cancellation email from them. The pricing at JourneyEd doesn't begin to compensate for the overall disregard for their customers. I will NEVER place another order with them.
There was a negative review posted for JourneyEd that did not allow comments, so I felt it necessary to post a review of my own. I have only made one purchase of downloaded software (Microsoft Office 2010). The transaction went well. I made the purchase, my credit card was charged, I was sent a confirmation email and download instructions. The download worked fine. I cannot speak to the customer service wait time that the other reviewer expressed, but I can say that I think the response time for email could be a little better.
My initial purchase was rejected because the woman at my bank did not activate my credit card properly when I called in after receiving a new card. They do not appear to have any weekend employees, so individual emails may not be responded to until the next business day.
Anyone reading this should avoid this company. First of all the wait times for their customer's service is about 30 minutes. Second, never buy a product from this company for a download. They claim that they have processed the order immediately, but I purchased a download on a Friday and still have not been notified of when I can do the download. It is now Monday. But my credit card has been charged.
I have tried to cancel the order stating that I have been charged for a product that I now no longer want and they told me it was too late. It is also too late to stop the credit card charge. Besides that I found the product for about 1/2 the cost that they are charging and could have gotten the actual disks and not a download. My advice to all reading this is to avoid the company or you will be sorry.
Update: I contacted the Texas BBB and made an official complaint against this company. I don't know if that complaint helped or not as I never heard from the Texas BBB, but I got refund from JourneyEd. I never got any communication from them however. I mean nothing at all as to if they were going to give me a refund, or why when etc. The money just magically went back into my checking account. I am just happy I got the refund.
I will never do business with this company again. Avoid it like the plague or you will be sorry. I was lucky to get my money back. I can now buy Microsoft Office 2010 for half the price I was going to pay plus get the actual disks and not a download.

DANVILLE, CA — TouchTunes Corp. has been selected by TGI Friday's as its exclusive provider of digital music. It will maintain ownership of the Gen 3 broadband-enabled Ovation and Allegro jukebox models, which will likely be installed in all 324 corporate-owned Friday's locations by the end of September. TouchTunes jukes will also be recommended and made available to Friday's 300 franchisee locations. The agreement was announced last week.
A national network of operators, managed by The Pelican Group here, will service and maintain the jukeboxes on a local level. According to Pelican, a leading nationwide management company, the arrangement means operators won't need to make any upfront capital investment. It will select operators to participate in the Friday's installation and will act as liaison between the involved parties.
Also announced was a deal for Pelican's operator network to install operator-owned Merit Aurora countertops in all Friday's locations. Pelican said tests with both pieces of equipment demonstrated "exceptional" earnings.
TGI Friday's Inc. is a division of privately held Carlson Restaurants Worldwide (Minneapolis), which operates, franchises and licenses 1,019 restaurants in 59 countries. The first Friday's restaurant opened in 1965 in New York City at the corner of First Ave. and 63rd St. It grew into a 12-unit chain by 1975 when it was acquired by Carlson.
TouchTunes collaborated with Friday's executives to get a better understanding of what genres of music are best suited to its patrons' tastes and the company's brand image. Accordingly, the jukebox company created a custom music catalog for the chain. It will update this on a continuing basis to keep the music fresh and aligned with corporate goals.
TouchTunes said the digital jukeboxes will offer more family-oriented music during the day and nightlife-oriented music available at night. When there are no paid plays in the queue, units will automatically provide background music.
"We are pleased that a well-known, successful chain like TGI Friday's has recognized that by deploying our systems with the management team of Pelican, they are not only creating a new revenue stream, but are also able to reduce their overall entertainment and marketing budgets," said Ed Tuhkanen, who heads up sales for TouchTunes' national accounts division. "Friday's will also be taking advantage of our digital focus group capabilities, which make connecting with the customer easier than ever before."
Pelican manages more than 35,000 pieces of coin-operated music, amusement and vending equipment for corporate clients, including Bennigan's restaurants and AMF Bowling centers, through a network of more than 420 operators. With offices across the country, the 36-year-old company acts as a single source for logistics, contract administration and accounting for clients with locations in multiple geographical regions.

Fox Cherry Picked Sen. Feinstein's Comments To Attack The White House Over Benghazi
Blog ››› ››› REMINGTON SHEPARD
Fox deceptively cited comments by Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein to make it seem as though she is going to investigate whether the White House had nefariously edited intelligence community talking points regarding the September 11 attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya. In fact, Feinstein made it clear that the White House did not make any nefarious changes to the talking points.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice appeared on Sunday morning political shows on September 16 to describe what the administration had learned about the attack. Ever since, Fox News has sought to scandalize those interviews and use them as ammunition in a campaign to prevent her from being nominated as secretary of state. But David Petraeus, who was CIA director at the time of the Benghazi attack, has reportedly testified that Rice's comments were based on unclassified talking points provided by the intelligence community that Petraeus himself approved.
Petraeus also reportedly testified that language in the talking points originally pointed to Al Qaeda affiliates as the perpetrators of the attack, but the language was changed to refer more generally to "extremists." According to The New York Times, Petraeus "said the names of groups suspected in the attack -- including Al Qaeda's franchise in North Africa and a local Libyan group, Ansar al-Shariah -- were removed from the public explanation of the attack immediately after the assault to avoiding alerting the militants that American intelligence and law enforcement agencies were tracking them, lawmakers said."
Speaking on the November 18 edition of Meet the Press, Feinstein said she wanted to get to the bottom of who exactly made the change to the talking points, but firmly stated that "the allegation that the White House changed those talking points ... is false."
But the co-hosts on Fox & Friends cherry-picked Feinstein's remarks to make it seem like it was an open question whether the White House had made such a change. Fox & Friends played a clip of Feinstein saying on Meet the Press: "We gave the direction yesterday that this whole process is going to be checked out. We are going to find out who made changes in the original statement."
Later during the segment, co-host Steve Doocy said the talking points were change "because there was a general election coming up" and speculated that the original version of the talking points would have undercut the argument President Obama was making regarding his national security record:
BRIAN KILMEADE (co-host): Why is it that the unclassified briefing that Susan Rice got is different than the briefing that was actually based in reality that the administration got? And why can't we ever know the truth? The unclassified briefing, is that different from the classified briefing where one is the right way and one is the wrong way. I have an idea, let's do an unclassified briefing -- fiction -- and let's do the classified briefing -- non-fiction
DOOCY: You know why it was fiction? Because there was a general election coming up, and they're a lot of people on the right who number one say there's been like a Watergate-style cover-up, and the President of the United States just like the week before had been down in Charlotte. We were there, Brian. We heard the president talk about how Al Qaeda was on its heels, and it simply would not be helpful to his reelection if people saw that Al Qaeda was alive and well and killing our people.
If Fox had not cherry-picked Feinstein's comments, it would have been clear that on Meet the Press Feinstein strongly rebutted the claim that the White House had removed the reference Al-Qaeda from the unclassified talking points. Feinstein said that the only change the White House made to the talking points was changing the word "consulate" to the word "mission":
DAVID GREGORY (host) Senator, you said that two days before that, Director Petraeus said it was terrorism. Why didn't Ambassador Rice call it terrorism two days later?
FEINSTEIN: Because she could speak publicly only on unclassified speaking points. I have some concern with those speaking points. But let me correct one thing.
GREGORY: Right. But what are the concerns and why speak at all? In other words, why was there a reference to it being a terrorist attack taken out of the public talking points?
FEINSTEIN: That is something that we're going to find out. But it was. That's the point. Now, with the allegation that the White House changed those talking points, that is false. There is only one thing that was changed, and I've checked into this. I believe it to be absolute fact. And that was the word "consulate" was changed to mission. That's the only change that anyone in the White House made, and I have checked this out.
Fox is only able to cite Feinstein make the argument that the White House may have changed the talking points for political reasons by hiding Feinstein's actual comments on the issue.

- "A long time ago, but somehow in the future..."
- ―Opening narration
"Blue Harvest" is the hour-long first episode of the sixth season of the FOX series Family Guy, which originally aired on September 23, 2007. It is the first part of The Laugh It Up Fuzzball Trilogy, a trio of episodes retelling and parodying the original trilogy with the show's characters recast into specific roles. This specific episode is a retelling of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.[1] The episode's title comes from Blue Harvest: Horror Beyond Imagination, which was the working title for Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi used to attempt to film inconspicuously and avoid media attention.
The episode drew 10.7 million viewers, and earned the highest Nielsen rating of any Family Guy episode since the show returned to air in 2005, making it the second most-watched episode in the series, behind "North by North Quahog," which drew 11.9 million.[2][3]
Opening crawlEdit
Plot summaryEdit
While the Griffins are watching a golf tournament, the power goes out. To entertain the family, Peter decides to tell the story of Star Wars, beginning with Episode IV. The rest of the episode is set in the Star Wars universe, with the characters from Family Guy cast as Star Wars characters.
The story starts with the line "A long time ago, but somehow in the future," then the opening crawl rolls above, before showing the Tantive IV being chased by the Star Destroyer Devastator over Tatooine, exactly imitating the sequence in the original film (the only difference being a "Bush/Cheney" bumper sticker on the Star Destroyer). On the rebel ship, Leia (Lois) tries to send a holographic message, along with the plans to the Death Star, to Obi-Wan Kenobi through R2-D2 (Cleveland). With the encountering complications in trying to do so, R2 decides to bring the message to Obi-Wan himself. Leia is captured by Imperial Stormtroopers and taken to Darth Vader (Stewie), while R2 and C-3PO (Quagmire) escape to Tatooine via escape pod. They are, as in the film, captured by Jawas, one of them being Mort, and then sold to Owen and Beru Whitesun Lars (Carter and Barbara Pewterschmidt).
Luke (Chris), Owen and Beru's nephew, desires to join the rebellion to fight the empire and listen to John Williams's Star Wars music. While fixing up R2, Luke stumbles upon Leia's message. The next day, R2-D2 escapes, causing Luke and C-3PO to go out after him. Along the way, they are attacked by a Tusken Raider (Opie), but are rescued by Obi-Wan Kenobi (Herbert). Obi-Wan takes them back to his hut, where Luke shows him the holographic message (within the message is a hint to Herbert's pedophilia; continual hints of this are dropped throughout the episode). Obi-Wan gives Luke his father's lightsaber. Luke returns home to find his township having been destroyed by Imperial Stormtroopers, and his aunt and uncle dead. John Williams is also dead; and he is replaced by Danny Elfman, who Luke proceeds to kill with his lightsaber.
On board the Death Star, Vader learns that the station has one vulnerability: the thermal exhaust port (added by the architect for aesthetic purposes). After a lengthy debate during which he force chokes Admiral Motti, Vader orders that the hole be boarded up, after getting cost estimates. Later, Grand Moff Tarkin (Adam West) decides to test the Death Star's "planet blower-upper gun" on Leia's home planet of Alderaan. However, unlike in the original movie, it was hinted that he had doubts on going through with the plan.
At the Mos Eisley spaceport, Obi-Wan, Luke and the droids meet Han Solo (Peter) and Chewbacca (Brian), who agree to transport them to Alderaan on their spaceship, the Millennium Falcon, in order to get the Death Star plans to Leia's father. They jump to lightspeed, in which Han remarks that "Hyperspace is creepy!," and travel through hyperspace (shown as the first Fourth Doctor title sequence of Doctor Who). The crew soon arrive to Alderaan, only to find it destroyed (having been destroyed by the Death Star into the video game Asteroids). They are captured by the Death Star's tractor beam, and pulled in. Using compartments to surprise Imperial stormtroopers and donning their armor as disguises, Han and Luke escape to a command room to wait while Obi-Wan attempts to disable the tractor beam himself.
R2 and 3PO escape to a command room to wait, while Obi-Wan goes to disable the tractor beam, after singing "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" as a farewell to Luke in a production number backed by several stormtroopers, while Luke, Han and Chewbacca go to rescue Leia. The three find Leia, and they escape the Stormtroopers though a garbage chute into a garbage compactor. After a dianoga (Meg) appears briefly, the walls of the compactor begin to close in on them. They are inadvertently saved when a stoned 3PO leans against the shutoff switch in the control room. Before getting out, Han and Chewbacca insist on taking with them a sofa they found inside the compactor.
Obi-Wan is confronted by Vader, who comments on a restraining order against Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan's lightsaber falls limp until he sees Luke. At this point, Obi-Wan is beheaded by Vader as the other characters escape, with the tractor beam now disabled. They successfully fight off an attacking "Thai" fighter squadron and escape to the rebel base on Yavin 4.
The rebels assemble for the battle, sending Red Squadron, consisting of several cultural references that use the word "Red," such as Redd Foxx and Red October to attack the Death Star. Most of the battle unfolds just as it does in the film, although there are a few differences. Jek Tono Porkins crashes into the Death Star's surface when his fighter cannot support his own weight in flight. Only one trench run is made by Luke and Redd Foxx, the latter of which is hit by Vader in his fighter, and destroyed after exclaiming his trademark "I'm coming, Elizabeth!" phrase. Obi-Wan's voice tells Luke to use the force. Han and Chewie, inside the Falcon, who have replaced the front seats with the new sofa, save Luke from Vader at the last minute. Luke fires a missile into the exhaust port, and the Death Star explodes.
Back in the Family Guy universe, just after Peter wraps up the story, the power comes back on. Everyone thanks Peter for keeping them entertained, though Chris points out that the Star Wars episode of Robot Chicken beat him to it, a discussion in which Peter denigrates that show. Chris, insulted, calls Peter a "jerk," and leaves frustrated. (This is sort of an inside joke: Chris is voiced by Seth Green, who is also a creator and executive producer of Robot Chicken. Seth MacFarlane, who voices Peter, has done appearances on the show as well.) Peter starts humming the theme to Star Wars, and the episode ends with Star Wars–themed credits set to the Family Guy musical theme.
At the 2007 Comic Con International convention, a series of clips was shown at a panel for Family Guy from the season premiere episode, showing the Family Guy characters as Star Wars characters. The episode aired on September 23, 2007 with some slight changes from the clips shown at Comic Con. Parts of this episode were shown at Celebration IV, at which Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane was a special guest,[4] and again at Comic-Con International 2007[5] The episode was officially endorsed by Lucasfilm, who, MacFarlane said, were extremely helpful when the Family Guy crew wanted to parody their works.[6] Even George Lucas himself is Family Guy fan, as revealed in his conversation with MacFarlane on the DVD, where he claims to have TiVoed every single episode without buying the DVDs. He said it was the only TV show he watches besides Jackass.
Rush Limbaugh makes a cameo[7] as the Tatooine radio pundit and the voice of one of the X-wing fighters. Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo reprise their roles from National Lampoon's Vacation as Clark and Ellen Griswold. Mick Hucknall of Simply Red and Helen Reddy also provide their own voices.
The episode garnered an overall Nielsen rating of 10.7 viewers.[2] It scored a 5.5 among the 18-49 demographic, a 17% increase from the previous year's season premiere, and a 13 percent audience share.[2] Viewership increased in the second half hour, and it was the highest-rated non-sports broadcast on its air night,[3] beating out a Desperate Housewives clip show and the season premiere of Cold Case, which attracted more viewers but had a lower share.[2]
Critically, the Associated Press's Frazier Moore called it "a dead-on homage that hilariously picks apart Star Wars, along with much of real life."[8] Newsday's Diane Werts rendered a more mixed verdict, saying the episode "veer[s] wildly from bull's-eye satire to gotta-fill-time-now exposition," and was not as enjoyable for non–Star Wars fans.[9] Jon Caraminica of the Los Angeles Times felt it worked by playing to the show's strength, its cutaway gags, by being "almost entirely an aside." He wondered if the Robot Chicken conversation at the end was "a note of self-doubt, maybe, masking as self-awareness."[10]
References to various mediaEdit
Star Wars filmsEdit
A notable reference to Star Wars is the actual soundtrack that plays in the background. Besides that, there are several references of the film's score throughout the episode: Luke acknowledges John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra (who are, after their deaths in the stormtrooper attack, replaced with Danny Elfman's orchestra—to the dismay of Luke, who beheads Elfman with his lightsaber). Han "da da"s along with the soundtrack while in battle with the TIE fighters. Also, a muzak version of "The Imperial March" is heard in the elevator. A similar scene with a live orchestra in the shot occurred in the Mel Brooks film Blazing Saddles with Count Basie.
In place of the traditional starting words of the Star Wars movies, "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away," the beginning words of the parody are, "A long time ago, but somehow in the future."
The episode occasionally problematizes the events of A New Hope. Most notably, Luke questions whether Han is correct in using parsecs as a measure of time rather than distance, and Han's minimal maneuvers when escaping Tatooine. When Luke exclaims "I got him!" during the TIE fighter attack upon the Millennium Falcon, Han responds with "Great, kid, don't get penisy!," in reference to Han's response in the original movie, "Don't get cocky!" Han shoots Greedo first as well, but without provocation.
Some other scenes call attention to seemingly obvious details the characters miss. Luke wonders if the Obi-Wan Kenobi of Leia's message could be the same as the "Old Obi-Wan Kenobi" he is aware of. As the Falcon approaches the Death Star, Luke says, "Maybe we should head for that small moon that's clearly a small moon and not anything else."
Han also remarks that he is the only actor whose career wasn't destroyed by the movie when first meeting Luke. While Harrison Ford (who portrayed Han in the films) would later star in the successful Indiana Jones franchise, Mark Hamill turned to voice acting after Return of the Jedi and Carrie Fisher's next major role would not come until When Harry Met Sally... in 1989. In the DVD commentary, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane said that Mark Hamill was asked to be a part of it, but was offended by that line.
"Blue Harvest" also directly parodies Star Wars with aspects of popular culture: when the Millennium Falcon makes the jump to hyperspace, Han comments that hyperspace "always looks freaky," before cutting to the view from the cockpit, which is of the first Fourth Doctor opening sequence of Doctor Who complete with audio. The film also adds members to the Red Squadron in the Battle of Yavin, in order: Red Buttons, Redd Foxx, Big Red, Red October, Helen Reddy, and Simply Red.
Another, lesser-known parody happens when Red Squadron attacks the Death Star in the Battle of Yavin. As one of the ships hits the Death Star, it cuts to the inside of the space station, where various stormtroopers are injured. As this happens, the Wilhelm scream is briefly heard. This scream is found in all of the Star Wars films and is almost a "trademark" sound used by the sound editor, Ben Burtt.
There are some references to other films in the series. Limbaugh as the radio talk-show host refers to both Hoth and Lando Calrissian, neither of which is introduced until The Empire Strikes Back, and Watto from Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace runs into the lightsaber being used as a bug zapper. (Chris also asks "what the Phantom Menace is that guy's problem," referring to R2.) Within the narrative, Beru foreshadows her own death (as well as exactly how and why Luke ended up joining the Rebellion) when she tells Luke he'll join the Rebellion "over [her] burnt carcass."
Consanguinities between the Skywalkers that are not established until the following films are mentioned in this episode. The opening crawl mentions Vader's being the father of both Luke (revealed in The Empire Strikes Back) and Leia (revealed in Return of the Jedi), and Beru repeats Vader's relation to Luke in the episode.
While making the attack run in the trench of the Death Star, Vader says, "I have you now, young Skywalker." In the original A New Hope, Vader was unaware Red Five was a Skywalker.
The episode's title comes from the code name used during the production of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.
- Lightsabers are used on Tatooine as bug zappers, and one draws Watto's attention.
- Luke realizes that a parsec is a unit of distance, not time.
- Han shoots Greedo first, without provocation.
- Dr. Cornelius Evazan and Ponda Baba back off from Luke due to common sense.
- Luke comments on the amazing orchestra, and chops off the replacement conductor's head (Danny Elfman) after John Williams dies in the stormtrooper attack on the Lars homestead.
- Luke points out that Han's maneuvers are little more than just "listing lazily to the left."
- Death Star laser technicians realize the lack of a rail at their station.
- The tractor beam text is in English, as seen in the original version.
- Elevator music based on "The Imperial March" is heard on the Death Star's turbolifts.
- When Luke shoots at stormtroopers after Obi-Wan's death, the camera cuts to the stormtroopers with Vader-Stewie in the background, with a blue lightsaber instead of his red one. The second time the camera cuts back, the lightsaber is red. This is a reference to an error made in the original release of Star Wars, where Vader's lightsaber was uncolored.
- Jek Tono Porkins is too heavy for his ship and plummets into the Death Star.
- A majority of Red Squadron is replaced with a series of name puns, such as Red Button, Red Foxx, Big Red, and Red October (with its own flying submarine). Biggs Darklighter is also replaced in his death scene with Red Foxx.
- After the story, Peter and Chris argue about how Robot Chicken beat Family Guy to the punch with a Star Wars episode. Finally, after Peter (played by Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy) comments that he is not a fan of Robot Chicken, Chris (played by Seth Green, co-creator of Robot Chicken) runs away screaming "You know, Dad, you're a real jerk!"
- Many shots and scenes in the episode matched exactly the same angles as Episode IV, even including the familiar wipes between scenes. Many of those shots resemble those in the original 1977 version of the movie more than any of its later editions (such as a close view of Ben Kenobi's hut rather than a more distant one or the X-wings approaching the Death Star in line rather than scattered).
Other cultural referencesEdit
"Blue Harvest," like many other Family Guy, episodes, makes frequent use of cultural references for humor. The Star Wars universe is the source of many of these, but there are many to other films and television shows as well.
The episode also makes references to the show itself, the obvious being the Family Guy characters reposed into Star Wars characters (while retaining their own character traits). The Evil Monkey, Bender B. Rodriguez, Roger and Hayley Smith (the latter two from American Dad!, also created and produced by Seth MacFarlane) are seen in the cantina. This episode is the second Family Guy episode that does not feature the usual frequent cutaway gags, the first being "Family Guy Viewer Mail 1." The only use of the cutaway in the episode is a brief segment where Obi-Wan introduces Luke to the lightsaber and says that "everyone in the neighborhood has one," with a cutaway to a cameo scene with Watto from The Phantom Menace.
Other intertextual cultural referencesEdit
Intertextual references include background appearances by characters from other animated series (for example, in the cantina, Bender from Futurama, Jon McGuirk from Home Movies, and Roger from American Dad!). Prominent among the films referenced besides the other Star Wars episodes is Airplane!, the source of two gags. First, during the TIE fighter attack, the episode uses a sound bite from the film: Dr. Rumack (voiced by Leslie Nielsen) enters Han's pod and says, "I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you." Later, when the Death Star is under attack, C-3PO jiggles Leia's belly and says "And Leia's getting l-a-a-arger!" after the line "The Death Star is getting closer," which references the lines "The fog's getting thicker!/And Leon's getting l-a-a-arger!" Besides the Dirty Dancing–inspired musical number, the other 1980s films prominently alluded to are the National Lampoon's Vacation series, when the Griswold family drives by the final battle (with Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo reprising their roles), The Breakfast Club, when General Jan Dodonna asks if anyone has any questions, to which John Bender asks, "Does Barry Mannilow know you raid his wardrobe?"; and The Blues Brothers, when they sneak out of the Millennium Falcon to the rhythm of Minnie the Moocher. Television shows alluded to besides Deal or No Deal include Sanford and Son (Foxx dies saying "I'm comin', Elizabeth!" after he is shot down, as he often did when playing Fred Sanford). R2-D2 refers to contemporary music twice in the episode: once when requesting C-3PO to "put on some Tatooine, Wind and Fire," and again when asking "what am I? R-2Pac?" after being shot in a fly-by shooting. When Leia explains to Luke how Obi Wan might go to hell, she references a controversy among Christian groups about not seeing the Force well. The argument between Peter and Chris about Robot Chicken's earlier Star Wars parody features two regular cast members of Robot Chicken: Seth Green, co-creator of the show, and Seth MacFarlane, who voiced Palpatine in the Robot Chicken special.
Deleted scenesEdit
Several scenes were cut from all televised airings of the episode mainly due to time restraints, but they are available on the uncut DVD version of the episode.
- When the golf tournament announcers are hitting on Phil Mickelson's wife, one announcer tells the other "You'd pork her for a week and then get tired of her," with the word "pork," a sexual innuendo, censored on the FOX version of the episode.
- After one of the rebels asks the others, "What if they come in a different door?" ("they" referring to Stormtroopers), a conversation ensues between the small group relating to where they'd break in.
- When Luke/Chris, Obi-Wan/Herbert and the droids first arrive in Mos Eisley, they are forced to wait in line before entering the cantina. They are able to enter when Obi-Wan/Herbert uses a Jedi mind trick on the bouncer (a Stormtrooper in a sleeveless shirt), saying he's a friend of Dave Navarro's.
- Before Luke/Chris and Obi-Wan/Herbert meet Han/Peter, C-3PO/Quagmire and R2-D2/Cleveland hide themselves from Stormtroopers, who try to lure them out of hiding by offering them with a giant check from Publisher's Clearing House.
- In the scene where Vader/Stewie admits he made a "Darth doody," he goes on to say a few more Star Wars poop jokes such as "I 'sithed' my pants," and "My diaper's gone over to the dark side" ("Y'know I've got pages of this. I can go on").
- After Alderaan is destroyed, the Channel 5 news crew appear as Death Star newscasters broadcasting the news of the planet's destruction, with them reporting that the Empire had reason to blow it up, stating that Alderaan was hiding weapons of mass destruction (another crack at George W. Bush and comparing his presidency to that of the Empire).
- After Chewbacca/Brian scares away a mouse droid, the droid encounters another mouse droid and tries to tell it what it'd just seen, only to forget about it when the other droid brings up Tyra Banks. The droid also exclaims "Holy shit!," with the word "shit" censored on the televised episode. These droids are a callback to the Screaming Black Dolphins from the Family Guy episode "I Take Thee, Quagmire." Seth McFarlane found the two voice actors so funny that he brought them back for "Blue Harvest." Fans have thus started to call these characters the "Screaming Black Mouse Droids."
- While disguised as Stormtroopers, Luke/Chris, Han/Peter and Chewbacca/Brian accidentally arrive on the floor of the Death Star that contains the Stormtrooper church, witnessing part of a Stormtrooper wedding procession. Also, the time they spend in the elevator is longer.
- While smoking pot, after R2-D2/Cleveland tells C-3PO/Quagmire he doesn't have to stay in the room they are in, 3PO/Quagmire says, "Thank Christ." On the televised version, he says "Thank God."
- After the Millennium Falcon escapes from the Death Star, Vader/Stewie and Tarkin/West discuss the tracking device that they placed on the ship and how the couch that Han/Peter recovered from the trash compactor in fact belonged to Tarkin/West.
- After watching the training video with Magic Johnson, John Bender appears to taunt the lead officer asking, "Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?"
- Before taking part on the attack of the Death Star, Luke/Chris meets up with his friend Biggs Darklighter (played by Joe Swanson) and discovers that, due to an accident while repairing a Y-wing, he is now paralyzed below the legs (an obvious reference to the fact that Joe is paralyzed) and is unable to participate in the attack; he also tells Luke/Chris that he'll be making sandwiches and promises to make one for him when he gets back. In the commentary it was stated that it was funny that this scene got cut out of the original broadcast since the scene this one spoofed also got cut out from the film's original release.
- After R2-D2/Cleveland is shot by Vader/Stewie, he exclaims, "Fuck you, you son of a bitch!" The word "fuck" is censored on all televised airings of the episode.
- After the attack on the Death Star, Luke/Chris returns to the Yavin base, and is greeted enthusiastically by Han/Peter, Leia/Lois, Chewie/Brian, Biggs/Joe, the droids and a cheering crowd of other rebels. Biggs/Joe offers him the sandwich he promised and, upon Luke/Chris accepting it, happily proclaims that he is part of things too. This scene is also the true ending of Peter's story, and a more significant one on that note.
Sequel and DVD releaseEdit
With the episode's ratings success, the sequel episodes "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" and "It's A Trap" were produced, parodying The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi respectively.[11] Fox Television released "Blue Harvest" on DVD on January 15, 2008 in both regular and special editions. Extras included about four minutes of exclusive DVD material, an uncensored audio track, animatics and commentary by the Family Guy staff, interviews with Seth MacFarlane and George Lucas, a sneak preview to "Something, Something, Something Dark Side" and a table read of it. In addition, the special edition release will come exclusively with collectible packaging, 3-D fight scenes and glasses, a themed T-shirt, trading cards, and brochure which will contain a letter from the show's creator Seth McFarlane, script excerpts, pictures and so on.[11] An official website for the DVD was made with DVD info, games, clips, behind the scenes and more.[12] In an interview with IGN, Seth MacFarlane says they are already done writing the sequel; Seth Green wrote one line of dialogue. Every copy of the DVD included an iTunes digital version, which can be transferred to an iPod, iPhone, or AppleTV but not to other devices because of DRM. As of January 16th, a day after the DVD's release, both Apple and Fox received multiple complaints that the 'Fox Digital Copy' of "Blue Harvest" failed to transfer properly to iTunes.[13]
There are two 'easter eggs' on the main disc: Under the "Features" menu around where Meg's/the Dianoga's head pops up there is the teaser trailer for "Something, Something, Something Dark Side." Under the "Options" menu on the reactor there is the footage of the cast going over the script for the sequel ("Dark Side") to "Blue Harvest."

Bombardier Aerospace reaffirmed its influence on the large business jet category by introducing two new jets, the Global 7000 and Global 8000 aircraft. These large cabin aircraft will feature GE's new emission cutting TechX engine.
The Canadian company's flagship Global aircraft family covers the large, ultra-long-range category with four aircraft models, the Global 5000, Global Express XRS, Global 7000 and 8000 jets. The Global 7000 will have a 7,300 nm range, while the Global 8000 will be able to fly a globe-girdling 7,900 nm.
"Bombardier's commitment to innovation, ongoing investment in product development strategy and strength as the industry leader are key contributors to our overall success," said Steve Ridolfi, president, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "By extending this great aircraft family, we are once again offering a business jet travel experience that is unmatched and ahead of its time."
Bombardier first introduced the Global Express in 1996, starting what is now a family of ultra-long-range aircraft. Bombardier's new Global 7000 and 8000 will feature an all-new high-speed transonic wing, designed to significantly optimize aerodynamic efficiency.
The GE TechX engine on the Global 7000 and 8000 will offer improved efficiency, including reduced NOX emissions that are 50 percent below ICAO's upcoming Civil Aircraft Emissions Protocol (CAEP-6) regulations and 8-percent better fuel efficiency overall when compared to the Global Express XRS.
"The Global 7000 and Global 8000 jets will give our customers the ability to reach more destinations non-stop than ever before," said Ridolfi.
Featuring a high-speed cruise of M 0.90, the aircraft are designed to be able to connect to more key cities non-stop around the world through a combination of range, fuel efficiency and balanced field length.
Global 7000 and 8000 will also feature spacious cabins, including enlarged windows and an innovative approach to cabin zones, which increases customer's flexibility and choice when defining their floor plan.

Super Bowl L? Nope, NFL makes exception
(NEWSER) – Quick, how many Super Bowls have there been? If you don't know, it's probably because this year's game was promoted as Super Bowl XLVIII—and you'd be forgiven if your Roman numeral skills are rusty. Well, good news, my ancient-number-system-challenged friends: In 2016, the NFL is ditching the letters, ABC News reports. The game's logo will simply say "Super Bowl 50." This is a one-time thing, however.

a trick for me is to walk around the place and look for a restaurant that's packed with locals!! if the people from the actual place ay the food is good, then who m i to argue?! 😀
Eating your way around the world
Food is my #1 passion in life and travel #2. However, sometimes I think the only reason I like to travel is to find different foods to fuel Passion #1 – I even keep a restaurant journal. When I travel, I research the restaurants and make someone else research everything else. I then record the details of the foodie-adventures in my journal.
Some lessons I have learned along the way:
- Ask locals for recommendations – obvious, but there are a few caveats.
- Your hotel front desk is usually the first place to start, but beware. If they recommend a restaurant with a business card and instructions to give it to the restaurant and "tell them we sent you," DON'T GO. This happened to me in Barcelona, and we were so upsold at dinner it was the most unrelaxing part of the trip.
- Ask the right question. Don't ask, "What restaurants do you recommend." Ask, "Where do you eat with your friends/family?" and follow that one up with "What kind of food do you like" to ensure their tastes aren't completely off from yours.
- My favorite people to ask are taxi drivers and locals working at bars or restaurants where you have had a good experience.
- If you are traveling within the US, the internet will be your best friend in pre-planning, but web sites aren't as common among international restaurants. I like www.chowhound.com for national and international.
- One thing you can research online before is what is considered local cuisine and drinks. Research tipping practices while you are at it.
- If you go to a restaurant that you like, and there are a lot of other restaurants in that same area, grab a business card – that way, you can hand the taxi driver the card the next night instead of trying to explain.
- Look for restaurants that are already busy – it will be worth the short wait.
- Ask for an English menu, you would be surprised how many places have them – and they usually give you a good laugh with the spelling and translations.
- I shouldn't have to tell anyone this – but try to avoid chains. However, some local chains, are usually pretty good.
So actual recommendations in random locations?
Tokyo: Garlic House – order the garlic French bread for the appetizer, amazing!
Madrid: La Finca de Susana (chefs in training, so great, inexpensive food), and ENE (funky posh, a little pricy)
Dublin: For me, the food in Irelandtastes as dull as the weather, but I managed to find one good place: Chatham Brasserie (Chatham street Dublin– try the burger and chorizo brushetta). Diep Noodle Bar (Ranelagh Dublin 6) is also good.
Madison, WI:I know, not very 'jetsetter' of me, but this is an all time favorite and easy to miss and there is only a small black sign hanging on a grey door: Muramoto (106 King Street; Asian fusion)
Barcelona:Barceloneta (L'Escar, 22 moll Dels Pescadors) – pricey, but the view is to die for! Try the cod Carpaccio and don't skip dessert.
London: Too many great restaurants to count, but Ping Pong is great. All Dim Sum! Order Jasmine tea for a nice surprise too!
Berlin: KaDeWe is a department store in Berlin – like Harrods in London, at least when it comes to the food. Take a few hours to wonder around the upstairs section and sample oysters and champagne!
Santiago: Nau Kana – unbelievable Asian, Middle East fusion! Try their version of the Mojito – vodka & basil.

Please forward/send this message to Rashani Rea,aka, Tori Harris.
My dearest Tori,
I have been trying to find you, off and on, for years. I knew you in Portola Valley, around 1966, when I rented the studio from your parents, George and Chris, at 43 (I think) Tintern Lane. You were 14ish and I was 21ish, and we became friends. You were also friends with Vicki Veal, and I remember your brother, Bruce. I would love to hear from you. I live in Dallas, TX, with my partner, but we will be moving to NC in the next couple of years. You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com, on FB, or call me at 214-988-6223. I still have the book "Cherry Blossoms", that you gave me, and illustrated with the gold tipped,ink-dip pen I gave you that belonged to my grandfather. Will you take the stickers out of my sock, while I take the wheelbarrel out for a walk???

Is it possible to squeeze Dublin into five experiences? Of course not. But don't let that stop you trying. Get ready for an unforgettable city break
The Little Museum of Dublin is David to the National Museum's Goliath, a miniature marvel telling the story of city through joyfully eclectic exhibits (a signed U2 album, an old bus ticket machine, a facsimile of James Joyce's death mask). There's a reboot of a traditional Irish kitchen in the basement, too. Hatch & Sons does heart-warming all-day breakfasts, with 21st century takes on classics, such as Beef & Guinness stew. All this mouthwatering food in a basement that could have been airlifted straight from Downton Abbey.
It's fresh and it's funky. It's lo-fi and high on flavour. It's Skinflint, and it's gonna push every last pizza button in your body. The pies are long, thin and delicious – and they're named after the staff's mums (aww...). Is yours a Sadie (roast garlic confit, toasted hazelnuts, spinach) or a Tess (pulled pork, fennel seeds, braised fennel and mascarpone)? A Gráinne or a Vonnie? Hit up #tweetseats on Twitter – it's a lottery for free eats.
You can tour Dublin on foot, by bike, bus, car or coach. Or you could think different and connect with the good folk at City Kayaking. You'll find them by the Jeanie Johnson tall ship – this is the only kayaking operation in the city centre, and it offers the chance to explore the River Liffey, its bridges and Dublin's iconic sights from an entirely different angle. Don't want the full tour? No worries. Rentals are an option, too.
Dublin's museums and galleries may be home to priceless treasures, but most are absolutely free to visit. For a quick fix with a difference, step out of the tourist throngs and into the Temple Bar Gallery & Studios. This cool little cube specialises in cutting-edge visual art, and a few minutes is all it takes to immerse yourself in its ideas. Afterwards, rejoin the world with a new perspective and a pep in your step. .

The Gravity Bar is like a bird's nest, with views stretching from Dublin's city skyline to the coast and mountains beyond. Best of all, it's perched on top of the Guinness Storehouse. Yup, that's seven storeys devoted to the world's most famous stout, and you can even learn how to pull the perfect pint along the way. Cheers!

Tag Archives: medical negligence attorney
In 2003, Florida Governor Jeb Bush and conservative legislators capped medical malpractice damages, arguing that high costs were driving doctors from the state. Eight years later, they pushed through another round of tort reforms in order to get the medical community to support the GOP plan to move Medicaid patients into managed care.
