Well that cliffhanger got resolved exactly as everyone planned. How does Lilly clean her various dresses? It's very hard to get one that doesn't stain red with blood. I assume.ReplyDelete
Also this is just repeating the most important lesson of Call of Cthulhu that would have also sped up last session. Whenever you come across any sort of entrance that leads into the bowels of the Earth (wells, caves, mines, basements) don't even bother entering. Just throw as much explosives into it as you can and leg it.

Danny located a paint color I read about in The Washington Post and then found a sample for me. He suggested I shop at the McLean store to get additional help with matching interior colors. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Danny spent a lot of time answering my many questions. —Susan L. Danny was very helpful, professional and patient today. He was a huge help as I figured out what I needed to do to prep my cedar siding for stain, and more importantly, to select a color and product. —Jeanne P. Our Customer's Venetian Plaster Project Thanks to Terry and Chuck for all the help and getting my colors made. You guys are the best. —Christopher H. As a result of your newsletter which included Benjamin Moore's exterior door feature, I bought paint to do my exterior doors. This was a project I had thought about for some time. Charlie was most helpful. —Jane P. Staff is always helpful and friendly. I have benefited from being able to take home paint chips and other materials and being able to buy paint samples. —Mary O. As a homeowner, you all provide the best painting advice from any paint store I've ever worked with. —Greg W. I really appreciate your staff. They are willing to understand a particular need and help to find the optimal solution. The paint staff has spent quite a bit of time with me helping to match colors and choose finishes. —Julie G.

A: Just before the eighth week of your pregnancy, your baby develops her first sensitivity to touch. This starts in the cheeks and then quickly extends to the genital area (10 weeks), palms (11 weeks), and soles of the feet (12 weeks). By 17 weeks, your baby's tummy and tush are also sensitive. Your baby may experiment with this newfound sense of touch by stroking her face or sucking on her thumb. By 32 weeks, nearly every part of her body can feel heat, cold, pressure, and pain. --Karin A.

The season is beginning to gather pace at Warwick and, next Thursday, the course stages the first of two meetings this month with its Christmas Party Raceday, for which the highlight is the Warwick racinguk.com Novices' Limited Handicap Chase, writes David Hucker.
This is the second meeting in charge for new general manager Andre Klein, who is still finding his feet at the course.
"I've enjoyed getting to know my new team over the last few weeks and I'm really looking forward to our Christmas Raceday," said Klein.
"I was only a couple of days into my new job when we held our last meet, so you could say it was a bit like a new manager watching his team from the stands before taking charge.
"I've been hugely passionate about racing, particularly jump racing, my whole life and I'm excited to be playing a major part in continuing to build Warwick's profile.
"Building strong links with the local community is also one of my main priorities and I'm looking forward to introducing myself to some new faces at our Christmas Raceday."
With the year's shortest day fast approaching, the action starts early at 12.30pm with the Racing UK Anywhere Juvenile Hurdle and the racinguk.com Standard Open National Hunt Flat Race brings the seven-race card to a close at 3.30pm.
A Christmas Pavilion Package, which includes a Winter Pimms reception, a set two-course meal followed by coffee, private bar facility, tote betting and personal waitress service, is available for £75.

There he stood with his glasses, waiting for the love of his life:
Excuse me, Sir?
Yes, Damitri?
Madam has just left and sent you this note
As he opened the note he was filled with emotions. What did she write? Where is she? Is she leaving him?
"Dear David, I have to go back to my father's village, he needs me and he's sick. He has no one to take care of him. He is all alone. I need to go. Please do not follow me. I do not know when I will see you again"
David was confused, surprised as it was all unexpected. What has just happened? He had no idea what to do. Leaving her would be what she wants, but it wouldn't solve the problem. It wouldn't bring back their love. But it's a family crisis and he didn't have her address. They had just dated for two weeks. But he knew he loved her. How could he go on with his life without thinking about her and her laughter? Her enthusiasm and kindness? It would be impossible
He went to the pub that night, he hoped to get some solace in the drink and he shut his head and started drinking. He didn't think about anything. The bartender wanted to speak to him but he wouldn't speak. He was baffled.
There was nothing he could do. He had to just get over her and move on.
Plenty of fish in the sea. But it's never that easy is it?

"...the Imagination (or love, or sympathy, or any other sentiment) induces knowledge, and knowledge of an 'object' which is proper to it..."Henry Corbin (1903-1978) was a scholar, philosopher and theologian. He was a champion of the transformative power of the Imagination and of the transcendent reality of the individual in a world threatened by totalitarianisms of all kinds. One of the 20th century's most prolific scholars of Islamic mysticism, Corbin was Professor of Islam & Islamic Philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris and at the University of Teheran. He was a major figure at the Eranos Conferences in Switzerland. He introduced the concept of the mundus imaginalis into contemporary thought. His work has provided a foundation for archetypal psychology as developed by James Hillman and influenced countless poets and artists worldwide. But Corbin's central project was to provide a framework for understanding the unity of the religions of the Book: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. His great work Alone with the Alone: Creative Imagination in the Sufism of Ibn 'Arabi is a classic initiatory text of visionary spirituality that transcends the tragic divisions among the three great monotheisms. Corbin's life was devoted to the struggle to free the religious imagination from fundamentalisms of every kind. His work marks a watershed in our understanding of the religions of the West and makes a profound contribution to the study of the place of the imagination in human life.

During a prolific 200-year period in the 14th–16th centuries, four master calligraphers invented one of the most aesthetically refined forms of Persian culture: nasta'liq, a type of calligraphy so beautiful that for the first time the expressive form of the words eclipsed their meaning. "Nasta'liq: The Genius of Persian Calligraphy," opening Sept. 13 at the Smithsonian's Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, displays 20 rarely seen masterworks created by the script's greatest practitioners, tracing its evolution from a simple style of writing to a potent form of artistic expression.

"Nasta'liq represents one of the most accomplished forms of Persian art, developed at a time of cultural and artistic effervescence in Iran," said Simon Rettig, exhibition curator and curatorial fellow at the Freer and Sackler galleries. "In a sense, it became the visual embodiment of the Persian language enthusiastically embraced from Istanbul to Delhi and from Bukhara to Baghdad."
Each of the four masters featured in the exhibition—Mir Ali from Tabriz (active ca. 1370–1410), Sultan Ali from Mashhad (d. 1520), Mir Ali from Herat (d. 1545) and Mir Imad Hasani from Qazvin (d. 1615)—further evolved the nasta'liq style, intentionally slanting the script for dramatic effect, modulating lines to balance fluidity and discipline, and adding delicate, twisting flourishes. Often attached to royal and princely courts, many calligraphers were the celebrities of their time, and visitors will learn fascinating anecdotes of fame and rivalry.
Mastering nasta'liq can take a lifetime, but it remains the most popular form of Persian calligraphy today. A demonstration video in the exhibition, along with calligraphic tools and accessories, shows how techniques developed more than 500 years ago are still practiced by contemporary calligraphers.
Primarily drawn from the collections of the Freer and Sackler galleries, highlights include the only known signed work by the "inventor" of nasta'liq Mir Ali from Tabriz, two folios from a collection of poetry by the late 15th-century ruler Sultan Husayn Bayqara and sumptuous illuminated pages from imperial Mughal albums.
The exhibition will be on view through March 22, 2015, and will be featured during the museum's annual family festival celebrating Nowruz, the Persian New Year, Saturday, March 7, 2015. Other exhibition-related programs include a Point of View talk with exhibition curator Simon Rettig Oct. 14 and lectures by eminent specialists, including David J. Roxburgh of Harvard University Dec. 14 and Dick Davis of Ohio State University Jan. 25, 2015. For a full listing of related events, visit asia.si.edu/nastaliq.
The Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, located at 1050 Independence Avenue S.W., and the adjacent Freer Gallery of Art, located at 12th Street and Independence Avenue S.W., are on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every day (closed Dec. 25), and admission is free. The galleries are located near the Smithsonian Metrorail station on the Blue and Orange lines.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18th, 3pm
Saturday, February 18, 2012Blue Square Bet Premier DivisionAlfreton Town v DarlingtonThe Impact ArenaKick-off: 3pm
By Kev Miles
ALFRETON Town return to the Impact Arena for a very welcome first home league game in a month when fellow strugglers Darlington arrive for a Blue Square Bet Premier Division relegation 'six-pointer'.After three games on the road it is to be hoped the home supporters turn out in their droves for what is the first of 15 remaining cup finals.The 2-1 defeat at Gateshead in the FA Trophy in midweek will surely not be playing on too many minds amongst the playing staff or management.This is it. This game starts the last third of the season and is hopefully the time to start and put a run or results together which will ultimately result in survival.Reds manager Nicky Law will have few selection posers to mull over. Central defender Adam Quinn is available again after serving a two-match ban elongated by recent postponements and he could return to face his old club. Leigh Franks is still out with a hamstring problem and Joe Day is still out with a groin problem.Those are the only problems though as there are no players suspended and competition for places is very good.As the Reds begin the fight to stay in the division, Darlington will arrive in town looking to keep their fight for their very existence going.They face a hard battle to generate sufficient funds to just keep them going and had ten points deducted after going into administration. The Quakers arrive for this fixture in 19th place, three places and three points ahead of Alfreton who have a game in hand though.The sides drew 1-1 at the Northern Echo Arena in the fourth game of the campaign way back on August 23rd.However, the form guide for this game goes out of the window as very few of Darlington's recognised squad prior to Christmas are still with the club, and it is a game where anything could happen, especially with both sides fighting for survival.

So I've been extremely busy with jobs the last 5 months, back-to-back freelance without a break this whole time. Still have 5 jobs on the burner as of right now, but I always make sure to make a little time for bandwork. Large jobs, like fully painted album covers and such tend to get shuffled in line with the other jobs, to be tackled once all jobs that came before it are finished. But things like flyers and merch that's needed for a particular show, in a hurry, have to get done along the way, regardless of what I'm working on at the time. As long as I can scrape enough hours together.
Who needs sleep right?
Anyway, here's a handful of band items I did recently.
Welcome to the As Fall Leaves Illustration website! This is where you can follow the news on the various jobs and projects of artist Joshua Werner. Be sure to also visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/asfallleaves! For those looking for Josh's books and comics, you can find those items available at www.SourcePointPress.com.

This is a "back to basics" message. If you're an advanced guy, this will be review. If you're not there yet, you'll find this really useful (print it out).
Reminder #1 – Women don't want to be invisible
This is especially true at a bar or club or a party. Some women will pretend they hate getting approached, but if you made them invisible for a week they'd be depressed because of lack of attention.
Think about it. If she didn't want men to approach her, why did she get dressed up and go to the bar? She didn't have to go to the local single's bar to get a drink or to catch up with her friend. She could have done that anywhere.
IMPLICATIONS: Don't apologize for approaching. (E.g., "I don't want to bother you, but…). Don't over-explain why you're talking to her. Assume that she is out to meet people, just like you are. This relates to framing – if you act as if she will behave in a certain way (e.g., that she wants to talk to you), she's more likely to actually behave in that way.
WARNINGS: Use your common sense. Being confident and direct is sexy; being creepy is not. If you approach and she doesn't want to talk to you, leave politely and approach someone else. (And check out this social proof article for how to manage rejection). It's her loss, not yours.
Reminder #2 - Take the path that is 10 times easier
Why don't women usually approach men? There are two answers to this, and the best is "who cares?" It's a fact that men are generally going to have to make the first move – so let's figure out how to make the best first move possible.
(The second answer took a couple chapters of my latest book for women, called It's Your Move, and actually explains why. Not that that knowledge will help you approach.)
So, if you're going to have to approach her anyway, you may as well get credit with her for being confident and being the kind of man who "knows what he wants and knows how to get it." Use the Love Systems eyes-feet reflex and start walking toward a woman you're attracted to as soon as you see her.
If you hesitate, you will literally make yourself more nervous and make yourself seem less confident to her. When you finally do approach, it will be ten times harder than if you'd just approached right away. This is one of the reasons that approaching looks "easy" for advanced guys and Love Systems instructors.
IMPLICATIONS: It's not an excuse to need to think of a good opening line. It doesn't really matter (and if it matters to you, get the Routines Manual; it has hundreds of them). Go up to her and say "hi" if you have to. Tell her what you had for lunch. Whatever it is will be better than waiting.
WARNINGS: If you use opinion openers, you won't want to walk across an empty room to approach her. Opinion openers should come out "naturally" to people who "just happen" to be standing near you. So drift into her area, then approach.
Reminder #3 – Realize that you are shouting at her
Did you think it was weird when I just said that it doesn't matter what you say to a woman when you first approach? How could that NOT matter?
Of course, it matters a bit. And if you say something truly awful, it can matter a lot. But most of the time, she can't hear what you say because your body language is shouting so loud.
You can't help it. Your body language (and tonality) convey so much more information about you than whatever words you string together into an opening line.
Remember, 70-93% of your communication is non-verbal. And I'd put it on the high side of the range when it comes to first impressions.
IMPLICATIONS: If 70-93% of the impression you make is non-verbal, that's where 70-93% of your effort should be. Working on body language and tonality isn't always sexy or exciting, but it pays off huge. It's also one of the Love Systems skills that has huge value in all aspects of life.
WARNINGS: When I say that it doesn't matter what your opening line is, I'm assuming that you're picking from a reasonable list of choices. If you say something weird or creepy, you'll come off as someone with low social intelligence.
Reminder #4 – Open the car door…
Here's an experiment. When things go well with a girl, ask her the next day what is was that you said when you first met her. Chances are, she won't remember.
It's not the first thing you say that's important. It's everything else. Approaching is like opening a car door. It's a necessary action. You can't skip that step. But there aren't really any awesome ways to open a car door that are that much better than any other.
IMPLICATIONS: A successful opener will have you starting a conversation with her. THEN comes attraction. Don't try to get attraction with your opener by breaking out some cheesy pick up line. Don't be disappointed if she reacts to your opener by blinking and looking at you expectantly. That means she's interested in whatever you have to say next.
WARNINGS: Don't run with scissors. You could fall and hurt yourself.
Have you ever been in a position where it is SO "on" with a woman and then later it's not? How she tell you she think...

Do you remember when those really low-budget campy horror films were actually good? I absolutely love most of them. There was just something about these films that were fun to watch. The bad acting with the awful effects were just the icing on the cake. Below I discuss two of my favorites, but trust me, I have so many more that are proudly displayed in my collection.
This movie was so bad it was good! When a construction worker by the name of Donald is not to pleased with his wife's gourmet cooking, he decides to become his own personal chef. Once she is out of the way, his desires for an assortment of meat that is cooked in the microwave makes this one hell of a cannibalistic treat!
Jackie Vernon who plays Donald was perfect for this part! Vernon was actually known for his comedy and opened up for Judy Garland and was a regular on the Merv Griffin show as well as many others. Despite his raw reputation, he is best known for his voice as the title character in Frosty the Snowman, which has been airing since 1969.
Microwave Massacre brought back Vernon's sinister side. There are so many classic lines in this movie by him.
When preparing to cut off a prostitute's head with an axe.
"I'm so hungry, I could eat a whore!"
"Well, the only problem is, I can't make love to a woman, unless I eat her."
These are only a couple that I've shared. The movie is completely filled with fantastic lines!
As usual, there is tons of nudity and odd sexual situations, but it's a true classic to watch. Oh, and be sure to finish it out until the final credits. There is a message saying: Remember, dismember a friend for lunch!
It's no hidden secret that Troma has released some of the best movies ever! The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'Em High, Chopper Chicks in Zombietown and I could go on! However, one of my favorites next to these will have to be Redneck Zombies also known as Redneck County Rape.
With an estimated budget of $10,000, this creation is notable for being one of the first films shot entirely on videotape and then released to the home video market.
When a barrel of radioactive waste is found in the woods by some rednecks, they decide to add it to their still. Of course they want to share their moonshine with all the local hicks. You don't have to be a brain surgeon to figure out what happens next! These kinfolk will spit out their tobacco and take a bite out of anyone that gets in their way!
Now, where are earth would we be without the city folks that are vacationing and manage to get lost in the woods? They try their best to survive during the bloody rampage.
Redneck Zombies is a film that nobody is off limits. It's crude and rude and you have to love the scene where a mother puts her baby in the washer and gives it a bottle full of the toxic moonshine. What do we have next? A zombie baby!
The gore is more extreme in this movie than some of the past. They play homage to movies like, Day of the Dead, The Wizard of Oz, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Deliverance and even the Three Stooges.
Troma movies have always and will always be known for their bad acting, plenty of boobs and bad effects, but there is something about them that is pure entertainment.
So, those are my two picks of the week. I realize they aren't pure horror, but sometimes you have to give credit to those enjoyable campy flicks!
Until next week!

Loc Cream
Knatty Dread Dreadlocks Cream
One of the first obstacles to locking successfully is determining which cream or wax should be used on your dreadlocks...if any. There is a great deal of misunderstanding and a fair amount of poor information on the subject. Obviously I feel my cream is the best choice for certain hair types, specifically highly textured hair types common to those of African decent. but please give me a chance to explain why. In doing so I'll explain why it's not the best choice for other hair types. particularly straight, or lightly textured hair common to Caucasians.
Honesty is terribly important to me and I want everyone to understand that creams and waxes are not mandatory in the locking process. Used correctly they can be of huge benefit but dreadlocks can be formed in most African hair types without them. In my experience, tighter, more groomed looking locs can be created in less time using these tools so I do recommend them. After all the locking process is not a simple journey, and we can not devote all of our time to it, so in practice making good use of the right tools is a wise choice.
One of the challenges of dreadlocking African hair textures is keeping the hair properly moisturized thus preventing dryness and breakage. A good dreadlocks cream or wax should provide the hair with this essential moisture without reducing the friction between the hairs themselves. This keeps the locks tight. Regular conditioners do help with dryness but they leave residue behind and loosen the dreads but reducing friction.
Dread Creams are not superior to Dread Waxes or vice-versa. Waxes and Creams each have a place.
Dread Wax or Dread Cream
You may have heard that waxes are bad for dreadlocks, or that creams don't work. While there are plenty of creams and waxes that simply do not work or are not nearly as helpful as they could be, there are also plenty of otherwise decent products that have been misused or used in the wrong hair types with less than stellar results. Many dreadlocks products are based on petroleum jelly which is a lubricant. Lubricants reduce friction and help things slide against each other. Not your best friend when you are try to make knots stay tight.
You can think of dreadlocks products on a scale. At one end you have very light loc creams which have almost no hold at all. Then moving up the scale you find loc creams with more substance and hold. Moving up still further you find light dread waxes with fairly strong hold. At the far end of the spectrum you find dreadlocks waxes with the strongest hold. In general the more texture your hair has, the less hold you require. Dreadlocks waxes with strong hold, Dread Head Dread Wax for example, is ideal for Caucasian hair which has little to no texture. Highly textured hair, on the other hand, does not require as much hold and does far better with a lighter product such as my Knatty Dread Cream. While some people with textured hair enjoy great results with dread waxes most find them to be to heavy and prefer working with a cream.
There are many people who don't neatly fall into the "highly textured" category or the "little to no texture" category. Those who are mixed, for example, or even Caucasians who have extremely curly hair. There are no hard rules here but the following guidelines will help.
If you answer no to any of the following questions you will likely have better results with a heavier dread wax rather than a dread cream:
- Does your hair naturally grow a tight afro that holds pencils, pens and similar objects?
- If you grab a section of hair (maybe 1" by 1") and twist it around and around will some of it stay twisted when you release it and shake your head?
- Have you ever experienced dryness or breakage in your hair that was not due to chemical treatments or processes?
- Does your hair have the properties often associated with African decent: Strands of smaller diameter and Oval to flat, ribbon-like cross section?
If you've tied locking before with the twisting method and could not get your twists to hold at all, but instead found that they came out easily each time you washed you will have better success using the backcombing method with a dread wax rather than a cream. Remember, one is not better than the other, it's just a matter of figuring out what is more appropriate for your hair. I want you have the best locking experience, even if it means referring you to another product line.
How do Dread Waxes and Dread Creams Work?
As we've mentioned, creams and waxes are humectants, meaning they provide the hair with moisture. Each of the three main hair types: Asian, Caucasian and African absorb water. When the hair has enough water it is less fragile. African hair has the most difficulty retaining it's water and is therefore the most susceptible to drying out and being damaged. Facing this fact and embracing our hair for what it is allows us to account for this and make the correct choices. Knatty Dread cream is the most powerful humectant/moisturizer available for dreadlocks. Period.
Before you write me off as a nut job let me explain how thickets relate to dreadlocks.
If you doubt this, simply rub some between your fingers, allow them to sit for a few minutes and then blow across them. They will feel cool and moist as if water were condensing out of the air to moisturize them. Try this yourself, you will be floored to feel how your thirsty dreads will be provided with the water they need to flourish.
Proper moisture is only part of the equation though. A good wax or cream provides sufficient hold to help dreadlocks tighten much faster than they can on their own. To visualize how this works imagine a thicket of thorns growing on the other side of your fence. Instead of cutting it down you're plan is to just squish them down a little at a time until they are only a couple feet off the ground and well below your fence. You grab some nice thick gloves and start pressing them down as hard as you can. Some of them seem to be staying down and others pop right back up. You resolve to try again the next day. To your dismay you find that overnight almost all of them have returned to their original height. Some progress was made though so you decide to press them down again and this repeats day after day. Each day a little progress is made. In several years the thicket is tamed.
Before you write me off as a nut job let me explain how thickets relate to dreadlocks. The process of compressing a thicket is analogous to compressing dreadlocks. You are "pressing the thicket" when you twist (textured hair) or palmroll (straight hair). The twisting and palmrolling compresses the dreads, helping them tighten over time, but much of the progress is un-done in between twisting. Hair strands that are larger in diameter are often refereed to as coarse hair, as opposed to fine hair. Coarse hair is better at maintaining it's shape, it's more difficult to compress it. It's forms a thicket of really thick vines instead of thin wispy ones. The other factor in locking is the texture of the hair. Tightly curled or kinky hair is said to have more texture than straight hair. The more texture hair has, the easier it is to compress it and get it to stay. To clearly understand why this is, imagine our thicket again. If the vines in the thicket were tight spirals, almost like telephone cords, and you pressed them down the spirals would get caught on each other and it would hold itself together much better than straight vines could.
Now that we have a good model for understanding the how knots tighten lets introduce the concept of dread creams and dread waxes. Remember how, after pressing down the vines in our thicket much of our work was lost. Rather than starting were we left off we were mostly just redoing what we had done the day before. Waxes and creams, used properly, are a tool that helps us keep much more of our progress. Let take a big sheet of plywood out to our thicket. We lay it over the top and press it down as far as we can. When we stop pressing it rises but only a small amount. The vines don't have the power to lift the plywood very far. When we return the next day the vines have started to get used to being bent and compressed and we can push them down even farther than we could before.
You've probably noticed that hair tends to remember the shape that it is held in, especially if it is wet and then allowed to dry in the shape. Dread Creams and Dread Waxes allow us to take advantage of the hair's memory by helping us keep it compressed in between palmrolling and twisting sessions. This allows dreads to get tighter than they could without the help of products.
Some people misunderstand the way these dreadlocks products work. Some have experienced their dreads feeling tighter after a product has been used and their explanation is that the products remain in the dreads, gluing it together. Fortunately this is not the case. If the hair is glued in place it can not continue to move and tighten further. Image our thicket frozen solid after an ice storm. It becomes a solid mass that can not be compressed any further. When the ice melts you find it exactly where it was before the storm. This is why hair glue is not used to make dreadlocks. To aid in locking the dread wax or dread cream must hold the hair when it's not being compressed but still be flexible enough to allow the hair to tighten during palm rolling and twisting.
It's pretty easy to see how the amount of hold that's necessary is determined by the texture and coarseness of the hair. Knatty Dread Lock Cream provides the perfect amount hold for highly textured hair of fine to medium coarseness. It would have been possible to make the hold stronger so that it would work for straight hair as well but this would have required a much heavier product, more like a dread wax, which tends to feel heavy or cakey when it's not needed. You may immediately notice how Knatty Dread cream feels "right". I certainly enjoy using it. I think Cherise put it best:
"I love your loc cream ta death because of how it leaves my locks feeling healthy, strong and full of life. They're fresh and tight for days after a good twist"
Cherise Lavener -Warner Robins, GA
Knatty Dread has just the right hold, moisture and gives my locs a nice shine without build up. Just wonderful. And the light peppermint scent is just right.

Hotmail used to be one of the most powerful brand in the world. It used to be at the forefront of online communication. Early 90's we all went there to get a personal email address like we all get a Facebook account today. We all got one.
But in all honesty, who really desires to have an hotmail email address today? It claims to have 380 millions registered users but most of them are now either secondary email addresses we use for admin purpose or a must have to be able to enjoy MSN Messenger. Gmail and Yahoo! have taken over that role of leading free email provider.
Few months ago, Hotmail has been re launched with a new skin. Unless I missed something, the functionalities are identical to others and this video presentation less than inspiring… Note the computarized voice to give a bit of fake modernity into the brand positioning. It reminds me the futuristic TV shows in the 80's.
What happened?
What happened happened to all brands that are taking their leading position for granted. Hotmail went into hibernation for over 10 years, stayed in their comfort zone and now find it hard to catch-up. The regular changes of name, logo and visual identity over the past 15 years shows Hotmail is probably not sure of its own positioning and what it really stands for.
Internet (and technology as a matter of fact) is evolving so fast that what was right a year ago is not anymore today or at least is being challenged.
Hotmail is a one dimension product. The future is all into multi dimensional products. MobileMe, Google, Facebook etc. are all offering multi dimensional experiences where from one platform you have access to integrated products all functioning together. Microsoft could claim to have a multi dimensional offer by putting Windows Live, MSN, Hotmail, Bing, Outlook etc. next to each other, but do they really work together?
Is there really an integrated branding strategy behind all of this?
Or am I missing something?

Research Interests
Neurotransmitters, Neuromodulators, and Behavior in Simpler Nervous Systems
Motor programs stored in the CNS control many innate, species-specific patterns of animal behavior. Examples include rhythmic activities such as walking, swimming, flying, feeding, and respiratory activity. We are attempting to map neural circuits that generate such patterns of behavior, and to clarify the roles of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators acting in these circuits. For example, we have shown that an isolated central nervous system of the horseshoe crab Limulus contains circuitry that produces the appropriate pattern of motor output for feeding behavior. When octopamine is perfused into the isolated nervous system, it activates this feeding motor program; moreover, octopamine injections into intact animals induce feeding behavior. Octopamine in this case could be acting as a neurotransmitter, as a hormone, or as a local neuromodulator (i.e. acting at a distance and time course intermediate between that of a hormone and a transmitter). We are exploring the actions of octopamine and other neuroactive agents on neurons and simple neural circuits, as well as attempting to determine the behavioral roles of these agents in caterpillar feeding, Limulus sensory receptor sensitivity, and cricket reproduction. These studies employ techniques of electrophysical recording, anatomy of identified neurons (by dye fills and by immunohistochemistry), pharmacology, and behavior.

Power jack damaged by Arizona tea
My son left his ipod charging overnight and to his dismay discovered that Arizona tea had been spilled on it. Although the ipod still works, he cannot charge it now, even with a new cable. The power jack / data port connector appears discolored and the cable contacts also appears damaged. I would surmise that the presence of an electrolyte (AZ tea) at the powered connector lead to corrosion of the contacts. It is not clear if any circuitry in the ipod could also be damaged (but I suspect not). I am thinking of disassembling his ipod and trying to clean the contact mechanically (and just replacing the power/data cable). I am not opposed to having someone do it for me, but I am concerned the problem may be more than just corroded contacts. I am also wondering if I might be able to do it without disassembly. Any thoughts or suggestions? TIA!

American paprika can be a pretty innocuous spice. Dusted on roasted potatoes or speckled on hummus, its vibrant rusty hue commands more attention than its mild sweet pepper flavor. But in Spain, paprika, or pimenton, is a vital ingredient. So much so that there are even Denominations of Origin for Spanish paprika.
"Just like with wine, they have DO's for certain food products," explained Tara Eiguren, co-owner of The Basque Market. "It just means that it has to be from that region and it has to be cared for with the laws and regulations that DO puts on that item."
Made from dried, ground red chiles, Spanish paprika comes from either the Murcia or La Vera province and is divided into three categories: pimenton dulce (sweet), pimenton agridulce (medium-hot) and pimenton picante (hot.) Paprika from La Vera has a notable smoky flavor, which is imparted during the region's traditional drying process in special oak drying houses.
"It's really good on pork loin or solomo," said Eiguren. "We use a little bit of it even in our paella. Traditional paellas were cooked over an open fire. We don't get to do that on a daily basis ... it gives it a little smokiness."
Smoked paprika has gained notoriety of late, showing up in countless glossy mag recipes and even snagging a spot on Epicurious' top food trends of 2011 list.
"It's always been a very popular ingredient for us, but now I find that people are reading Bon Appetit or Gourmet and finding recipes where they need it," said Eiguren.
The Basque Market sells paprika in both sweet and hot, which runs $5.69 for 75 grams.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators' and representatives' votes on roll calls from the week of April 2-6.
* Criminal justice changes (H 4011) -- The House voted 148-5, and the Senate 37-0, to approve and send to Gov. Charlie Baker a conference committee version of a bill making some major changes to the state's criminal justice system including repealing mandatory minimum sentences for low level drug offenders, restricting the use of solitary confinement, allowing for the expungement of juvenile records, strengthening laws against fentanyl trafficking, raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility from seven to 12 and decriminalizing a first offense misdemeanor if the punishment is a fine or imprisonment for not more than six months.
Supporters said the bill is a balanced one that updates many laws and repeals some arcane laws while still protecting the public. They argued that the bill is a big step toward ending the vicious cycle of incarceration and crime.
Opponents said that the bill goes too far and weakens the state's criminal justice laws in many ways.
A Yes" vote is for the bill. A "No" vote is against it.
Voting yes were: Rep. Jennifer Benson, Rep. Kimberly Ferguson, Rep. Rep. Stephan Hay, Rep. Natalie Higgins, Rep. Harold Naughton, Jonathan Zlotnik, Sen. James Eldridge, Sen. Cindy Friedman, Sen. Anne Gobi, Sen. Barbara L'Italien, Sen. Bruce Tarr, Sen. Dean Tran.
Voting no were: Rep. Marc Lombardo, Rep.
* $200 million for local roads and bridges (H 4637) -- The House 145-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill authorizing $200 million in one-time funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges in cities and towns across the state. The package is a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds.
Supporters said the $200 million would help cities and towns keep their roads and bridges safe and allow many vital municipal road projects to move forward.
No one voted against the bill.
* Tax short-term rentals (S 2381) -- The Senate 31-6, approved a bill that extends the state's current 5.7 percent hotel and motel tax and the local option room occupancy tax to short-term rentals offered by Airbnb, HomeAway and VRBO while leaving the regulation of these rentals including registration, licensing and inspections up to local cities and towns.
Estimates are that the state will reap $34.5 million from the new taxes and local communities which impose the optional local tax will receive some $25.5 million.
Supporters said the bill strikes a balance and levels the playing field between currently untaxed and unregulated short-term rentals and hotels and motels that are currently regulated and taxed.
Opponents said the bill is simply another example of an anti-business, unwarranted tax and overregulation by the state.
"(This) is an example of the government regulating the use of private properties," said Sen. Dean Tran (R-Fitchburg). "It's an opportunity to institute a new tax. It was very unfortunate that an amendment requesting 25 percent of the collection goes to funding our schools failed. Your right to rent a room in your home, short term, should not be subject to regulations adhered to by hotels, motels and other big entities."
A "Yes" vote is for the bill. A "No" vote is against it.
Voting yes were: Sen. James Eldridge, Sen. Cindy Friedman, Sen. Anne Gobi, Sen. Barbara L'Italien.
Voting no were: Sen. Bruce Tarr, Sen. Dean Tran.
* More local aid for cities and towns (S 2381) -- The Senate 14-22, rejected an amendment requiring that 50 percent of the estimated $34.5 million in additional state revenue generated from the short-term rental tax go to the state's General Fund, 25 percent to education aid for cities and towns and 25 percent in unrestricted local aid to cities and towns.
Amendment supporters said this would ensure that 50 percent of this windfall goes to local communities that desperately need additional funds instead of 100 percent going to the state.
Amendment opponents said the bill already helps cities and towns by allowing them to add their own 6 percent tax to short-term rentals and to keep all the revenue it generates. They said estimates are that this will generate $25.5 million for local communities.
A "Yes" vote is for the amendment. A "No" vote is against it.
Voting yes were: Sens. Anne Gobi, Bruce Tarr and Dean Tran.
Voting no were: Sens. James Eldridge, Cindy Friedman, Barbara L'Italien.
* 21-day exemption (S 2381) -- Senate 11-26, rejected an amendment that would exempt from the new tax people who rent out their unit for 21 or fewer days per year.
Amendment supporters said this will ensure that mom and pop operators who offer their place for rent just a few weekends per year are not lumped in with operations that are serious businesses that operate all year round.
Amendment opponents said the amendment waters down the bill which is designed to level the playing field, without exceptions, for hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts and Airbnb.
A "Yes" vote is for the 21-day exception. A "No" vote is against it.
Voting yes were: Sens. Gobi, Tarr and Tran.
Voting no were: Sens. Eldridge, Friedman and L'Italien.
SPILKA TO TAKE OVER SENATE PRESIDENCY IN JULY - Sen. Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) and current Senate President Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester) have agreed, after behind the scenes negotiations, that Spilka will take over the Senate presidency the week of July 23. Spilka on March 22 announced that she had the necessary majority of votes from her colleagues to be elected Senate president. Just a few weeks ago, Chandler was going to serve as president until the new legislative session begins on January 2019. She never had any interest in serving beyond that.
Bills sent to study -- Various committees shipped off several bills off to a "study committee." Most measures that are sent to a study committee are never actually studied and are essentially defeated. Here are some of the bills that were sent to a study committee and will likely be refiled by their sponsors in 2019:
Save (S 39) -- Requires all state agencies that are responsible for the issuance of public benefits or licensure to register for the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, (SAVE) system and to use it to verify whether applicants for a public benefit or license, whose documentation is not available or is questionable, are qualified for the benefit.
Must pick up welfare check in person (S 71) -- Requires that welfare recipients pick up every sixth check in person at their local welfare branch office. Under current law, recipients can have all their checks directly deposited to their bank.
Substance abuse and addiction (S 302) -- Requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Public Health to develop a model curriculum for Grades 4 to 12 designed to prevent substance abuse and addiction and address tobacco, alcohol, opiate and prescription drug diversion and abuse.
Sign language (S 328) -- Requires local schools to credit the course of American Sign Language toward satisfaction of a student's foreign language requirements. Current law allows but does not require schools to give credit for this course.

Why the Phoenix?
Angus MacGyver was employed at a fictional research and development center called the Phoenix Foundation. The clever creators of the show chose this name because of the legend of the Phoenix. In Greek mythology a magnificent bird with a lifespan of 1,400 years dies by crashing and spontaneously combusting into brilliant flames. From this process it's born again, rises up from the ashes, and flies toward the horizon to embark on a new life.
This inspiring concept of renewal symbolized by the Phoenix is an integral part of our program. Like special agent MacGyver our participants will take objects nearing the end of their useful live's and give them a new purpose. Perhaps along the way some may also begin to imagine a new direction and purpose for themselves. We're eager to see what rises from the proverbial ashes at MacGyver Academy!

Yet another woman has come forward to accuse Bill Cosby of rape: former supermodel, Janice Dickinson.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the reality TV star revealed for the first time claims that Cosby sexually assaulted her in 1982, and her claims are graphic and sickening. She's the third woman to come forward this week, years after 13 women settled a lawsuit against Cosby that claimed the stand-up comedian raped them.
Dickinson claims she first met Cosby when her agent set up a meeting with him to discuss a possible role on The Cosby Show. Later, after Dickinson went to rehab, she says, Cosby invited her to Lake Tahoe to discuss the role again.
According to Dickinson's allegations, Cosby gave her a glass of wine and a pill for menstrual cramps.
"The next morning I woke up, and I wasn't wearing my pajamas, and I remember before I passed out thinking that I had been sexually assaulted by this man," she said. "Before I woke up in the morning, the last thing I remember was Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me. And I remember a lot of pain. The next morning I remember waking up with my pajamas off and there was semen in between my legs."
Bill Cosby, lawyer won't talk about rapes — but latest accuser will
Dickinson also said in her interview that Cosby's lawyers pressured her not to write about the alleged rape in her 2002 memoir, No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World's First Supermodel.
"I'm doing this [now] because it's the right thing to do and it happened to me, and this is the true story," she said. "I believe all the other women."
Joan Tarshis, another woman who claims to have been sexually assaulted by Cosby, has a story very similar to Dickinson's.
"We went up to his bungalow and he made me a drink," Tarshis said when she went public with her story earlier this month. "Shortly after that, I passed out. I woke up or came to very groggily with him removing my underwear."
Why didn't you know about Bill Cosby's rape allegations until now?
Cosby has refused to comment on any of the new allegations. His lawyer's statement says only, "Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced. The fact they are being repeated does not make them true. Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work. There will be no further statement from Mr. Cosby or any of his representatives."
Update, Nov. 19, 2014: A lawyer for Cosby told The Wrap that Dickinson's claims are an "outrageous defamatory lie", which directly contradict her previous version of meeting Cosby in her autobiography. "Her new story claiming that she had been sexually assaulted is a defamatory fabrication," said attorney Marty Singer.

Baby Room
Toddler Room
Pre School
The Montessori Baby Room
At Moseley Montessori we understand that leaving your child at an early age can be a daunting experience,
we hope that by visiting the unit and meeting our trained staff in a welcoming environment we will put your mind at ease.
The baby room is self-sufficient with play area, rest and sleep areas, milk kitchen, changing facilities and feeding area. There is a shared garden area for outdoor play and the convenience of Moseley Private Park, this is just a short walk away in our triple buggies.
The play area includes sections such as soft play to support physical development, puzzles, construction and mark-making equipment to develop minor motor skills, percussion instruments to develop rhythm and
, book and cosy corner for stories, rhymes and cuddles, and role-play area for imaginative and symbolic play.
We understand that a baby's perception of sound, sight, touch, taste and smell is new and acute; therefore we provide many activities that give your baby a variety of opportunities to discover and develop these perceptions. These include messy play activities such as water play, shredded paper, corn flour, sand, pasta, cornflakes and jelly. Sensory light shows, relaxing music and muslin bags filled with different scents that help to
a child's senses. We also use treasure baskets to enable babies to use their senses to learn about the world, these include natural household objects.
A key part of every morning is circle time, where the children can develop their independence and learn early social skills, joining in with actions to songs and rhymes, developing an awareness of others through saying hello to each individual child and recognising positive images of themselves for self-registration.
Respect is our fundamental principle within the baby room and we aim to include babies in every aspect of their care thus promoting their independence. We pride ourselves on our welcoming, homely, calm, consistent and content atmosphere with highly trained first line staff that have a genuine respect for the child and working knowledge of child development.
We use 'tiny talk' baby sign language to support pre-verbal communication which aids better understanding for both babies and carers and reduces frustration, boosting self-esteem and self-confidence.
When settling your child into the baby room we take every care and attention to understanding the needs of each individual child and their parents so that those individual needs can be met. Each child is carefully allocated a key worker to support their well-being and to develop positive relationships with both children and parents. Communication books are used daily to feedback on every aspect of your child's day.

The word charism comes from the Greek word "charis" (grace); in theology it means a free gift of God, a grace for the benefit of the Church given to a person or to a group of persons (as is the case of PIME). PIME was founded in 1850 by Msgr. Angelo Ramazzottti. It was taken by the bishops of Lombardy as their own means of sending to the missions those diocesan priests and laymen who had the charism of the "mission ad gentes" (to the non-Christians). This happened at a time when the Church was moved by a great missionary spirit. PIME was the first missionary institute in Italy. At the inspiration of Blessed Pope Pius IX, it began in Saronno (Milan) as the Lombard Seminary for the Foreign Missions. It has remained faithful to its origin, which was confirmed and reinforced by the new name that it took in 1926 according to the wishes of Pope Pius XI: The Pontifical Institute for the Foreign Missions. In the first article of the present Constitutions of PIME it states: "Out of all the vast range of missionary activities described in 'Ad Gentes', PIME chooses and designates as its priority the commitment to announce the Gospel to non-Christians." In the next paragraph it further states: "The Institute shall lend its collaboration to help the growth of the young Churches, and especially to promote their actual participation in the work of evangelization of non-Christians within their own territory as well as outside of it."
These two articles already give a good description of PIME's charism, which is particularly relevant in the Church after the Second Vatican Council when there is a crisis of faith and Christian life in a number of countries, which leads the body of the Church (dioceses, parishes, seminaries, religious orders, and lay associations) to withdraw within themselves in defense of the faith even though Pope John Paul II wrote in his encyclical Redemptoris Missio "... missionary activity renews the Church, revitalizes faith and Christian identity, and offers fresh enthusiasm and new incentive. Faiths is strengthened when it is given to others! It is in commitment to the Church's universal mission that the new evangelization of Christian peoples will find inspiration and support" (No. 2). An exclusively missionary institute such as PIME by its presence and activity is a reminder of the duty of the local church to put into practice this principle.
These are the fundamental characteristics that specify the original charism of PIME.
It is an exclusively missionary institute – in other words it has no other purpose than the mission "ad gentes" (to the non-Christians) for the proclamation of Christ to peoples and to those cultural areas where Christ is unknown; its goal is then that of establishing the Church where it does not yet exist. Throughout its history PIME has until today always been under the authority of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples (Propaganda Fide), which sends PIME to those bishops which request its presence (it does not choose where to go according to its own convenience). Over a period of 155 years, it has founded 9 dioceses in India, 3 in Bangladesh, 5 in Burma, 1 in Hong Kong, 8 within China, 2 in the Brazilian Amazon area, and 2 in southern Brazil: 1 in Mato Grosso and 1 in Paranà. It has also collaborated in the founding of other dioceses in other parts of the non-Christian world (also in Africa). The very specific nature of the missionary charism meant that from the very beginning, the institute had the concern to have a field of work that was "a virgin territory for the proclamation of the Gospel where Christ ... is still unmentioned." As a matter of fact, the institute went to the islands of Oceania "among people who were the most distant and abandoned." Today PIME places itself at the service of the local churches. In each of these it gives priority in its work to the proclamation of the Gospel to non-Christian groups. 2000 years after Christ, this charism is a reminder to the world-wide Church, of the duty of living in a concrete way, the "first proclamation of Christ" with a concern for the many people who have not yet heard anyone speak of the Messiah, especially in the continent of Asia where 60% of the human race lives and the Catholics are around 3% of the population (2% if you exclude the Philippines). In fact, the Pope wrote in Redemptoris Missio (no. 37) that "especially in Asia ... there are vast areas that have not been evangelized: whole peoples and cultural areas of great importance in a number of nations have not yet been reached by the proclamation of the Gospel and the presence of the local church." PIME still insists today that for all its history, the continent of Asia has always been and still is its choice of preference (though not in an exclusive way).
PIME is a "Community of Apostolic life" according to the Code of Canon Law (1983). It accepts those who wish to give their entire lives to the missions in the communities of the institute as priests or as consecrated laymen. Today PIME still maintains its diocesan character, especially in the mission churches, even if as an institute it has developed in an autonomous way from the founding dioceses in its evolution from the Lombard Seminary to the Pontifical Institute. One sign of this diocesan nature is that, for example, local bishops in the missions often send their priests to practice their priestly ministry with the priests of PIME, who by their way of life and method of apostolate are seen as "diocesan clergy." Another important sign is that since PIME was born to found the Church, when PIME has finished its task and has given over everything to the hands of the local church, it leaves all and goes somewhere else to found other churches, keeping nothing in the former mission -- whether parishes or pastoral works. The Institute does not exist for itself: it is there to serve the young local churches and make them missionary.
The institute is a community in the sense that it is a true community of priests and laymen who live and work together. In the first expedition to Oceania from the very beginning in 1852, the "Lombard Seminary for the Foreign Missions" was conceived of as a "community of apostles" united in the same vocation and linked by a common membership. It is a fact that they were the first diocesan priests that went to the missions while yet remaining diocesan (a century before the encyclical "Fidei Donum" of Pius XII in 1957!), but they did not scatter and live in isolation: they were missionaries that lived and worked in community. Thus, someone who decides to enter PIME knows that he is not just choosing a free course of preparation for the missions, a free trip and insurance in case of a return home due to force of circumstances, or for health reasons, or for old age. Rather he is entering to be part of a community, and thus he takes on in a certain sense the responsibility for all the confreres who have made the same decision that he has.
In fact, it already was international, but with many limits. It could, for example, take on members in countries where there was a Christian majority but not in those where the Christians were a minority (so as to favor the growth of local clergy). At Tagaytay in the Philippines (1989), after consultations and debates that had already lasted half a century, the following article was approved as number 10 of the constitution: "PIME is an international missionary Institute which lends itself to the service of communion between the local churches for the evangelization of the non-Christians. Thus, it welcomes and forms missionaries from different nations so that members of different nationalities can work together in the very same tasks of evangelization.

There was a changing of the guard as Browning Suzuki Belvoir Cricket League held their annual meeting and presentation night at Thorpe Arnold CC.
Adam Baker took over as chairman from former Melton Times sports editor Colin Moulds who stepped aside after five years at the helm. Colin thanked league sponsors Browning Suzuki, the Melton Times and 103 The Eye for their continued support.
The league, in turn, thanked Colin for all his work during his tenure, and re-elected the committee of secretary Keith Evans, treasurer Mark Bullimore and representatives Mark Wells and Tim Gadsby.
Bottesford were elected into the league, but the withdrawal of Frisby and Market Overton left the league with 16 teams.
Among the presentations, there were trophies for divisional winners Thorpe Arnold A, Grantham and Upper Broughton, while Thorpe were overall league champions, claiming the centenary title after a play-off win against Welby.
Other team prizes went to Frank Woodhead Cup winners Welby, after defeating Buckminster in the final, and to Egerton Park for beating Sproxton in the Belvoir Cup final, while the Martin Cowman Trophy was won by Oakham.
The individual awards went to Thorpe Arnold pair Haydn Murphy (batting) and Keith Evans (bowling).
* Any teams wishing to join the Thursday evening Belvoir League for the forthcoming season should call Keith Evans on 07928 241995.

Today has been a long day.
How long? So long that I, Pope Crisco, have the "White Boy, Working in a Bank's Call Center Blues."
First world problems, I know. I'll shut up about my problems with being gainfully employed, and instead concentrate on tonight's beer.
In the black shorts, weighing one pint and point nine fluid ounces, we have Belhaven Scottish Stout, and in the Star Wars pajama shorts and white undershirt, weighing at something in excess of a small Japanese car, Pope Crisco.
This stout pours out a nice, dark, true black, not just a very dark brown. The head forms thick, but dies down expeditiously to a penny's thickness, and exhibits a nice hazel color with a charcoal like tint.
Exhibiting a decent yet light coffee-like nose, a malt essence brings out a warm toffee and nutty aroma.
The flavor of the stout is malt forward, with a medium-light bodied essence of coffee, toffee, and, well to put it mildly a certain, um, "earthiness."
This beer is not my favorite. A decade or so ago I would have been loving this beer, as it's not too far off from a Newcastle Brown Ale, but with a little more bitterness. There are a lot of much better, locally brewed beers available, and thus I do not see myself purchasing another bottle of this particular beer.

Nunes: FBI Should Have Opened Investigation of Clinton Campaign When It Received Dossier
Levin on FISA Controversy: Obama Likely Knew 'Hillary Clinton Paid for a Warrant'
Trump: Dems Not Clapping at State of the Union Was 'Un-American, Treasonous'
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said the FBI should have opened a counterintelligence investigation of Hillary Clinton's campaign in 2016.
On "Hannity," Nunes discussed Republicans' controversial memo alleging surveillance abuses by the FBI, explaining the "clear link to Russia" which led to a FISA warrant to surveil Carter Page.
He said the Clinton campaign hired a law firm, which hired Fusion GPS, which then hired "foreign agent" Christoper Steele to dig up dirt via Russians on Donald Trump. The resulting dossier was then used to obtain the surveillance warrant.
"It seems like the counterintelligence investigation should have been opened up against the Hillary Clinton campaign when they got a hold of the dossier," said Nunes.
Earlier in the day, Nunes claimed there have been nearly "100 leaks" to the media by Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee related to the Russia investigation.
Nunes (R-Calif.) said the committee's ranking Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff, is spreading a "false" narrative about him and Republicans coordinating with the White House on the memo.

— Fox News (@FoxNews) February 6, 2018
He said the mainstream media would be "on fire" if a Republican candidate and administration had used the FBI in the same way to go after a Democrat rival.
"It's crickets. It's embarrassing. I'm almost flabbergasted because I thought there was at least an ounce of credibility left, but there really is none," said Nunes, adding the media is on the Democrats' "team" when it comes to the Russia investigation.
Nunes said Friday's memo was only "phase one" of a broader effort, including an "active investigation" of the State Department under the Obama administration.

To this list, I think.
