Pro tip: when you're an asshole at a customer service establishment, we talk about you for the rest of the day. Sometimes for years! I have bad customer stories I whip out at parties when things get boring.
In related news, Manga Studio has become my main go-to coloring thingy, and it's pretty boss. I use Photoshop to do some textures and make the sound effects stand out, but otherwise, it's easier to color in Manga Studio, and the outcome looks better. Huzzah! I'm sorry for judging that program so harshly has weeaboo trash for years >_>.

By Shannon Knutsen
Gotnews.com has obtained the disturbing dick pics of #BrandonBostian, the engineer who killed at least 8 people in a horrific crash earlier this week.
Bostian has lawyered up and implausibly claimed that he has no memory of the events leading up to the crash.
Gotnews.com was the first to ID Bostian, a 32-year-old gay activist, as responsible for the crash in Philadelphia.
Politicians of both political parties (and our dumb media) have called for cutting or expanding Amtrak funding as if that would have prevented the accident in question.
But that robs Bostian of agency. He appears to have made the decisions that ultimately led to the deaths of 8 people and millions in damages.
His character is in question. It was his responsibility to get the train into the station safely, a duty he understood, according to his train postings. And yet according to most analyses, the train was going 106 miles per hour in a 50 mile per hour zone.
After a careful study of his social media we conclude that he is an exhibitionist who is interested in odd sex acts.
We've thankfully blocked out the actual dicks because we're a family friendly website (sort of).
We're publishing these photos because we believe the public has a right to know and because we think it's important to always focus on the who of a story rather than whatever policy outcome.
(Of course, nobody would question this material if it came from Gawker or another degenerate site but because its GotNews.com they'll freak out.)
This material was easily accessible, which gets to his exhibitionist state of mind.
Do we have another Germanwings style incident?
Without further ado, here are the dick pics and how we arrived at them.
Bostian uses "bwb6df" as his name when posting on train message boards… He uses "comodude" for Youtube, Myspace and an old twitter acct, not many tweets there…
Here's his old Live Journal page: http://comodude.livejournal.
He mentions an old Flickr acct: Comodude1983…
Comodude1983 brings us to Bostian's profile on cocksizecontest.com.
On the above page he also mentions his Skype ID: BWBNEP. That username led to more photos. (We've censored the dicks.)
Here's a screenshot of a video of Bostian flushing his pubic hair.
Could Bostian's disturbed sex life have masked a deeper disturbance?
Why again was he going 106 miles per hour in a 50 mile per hour zone?

Talvik Church
The church in Talvik, a small village just outside of Alta, holds a little bit of our family history. A lot of Farfar's family came from this area in Finnmark. His great, great, great granddad, Arne Jacobsen, donated a seven stick chandelier in celebration of his seven children. On a trip back to Tromsø we had to stop by and peek inside to see it - mind you, at four o'clock in the morning. We saw nothing but ceiling. Later we learnt that in 1882 there was a huge storm that blew the church away and only the bell and some interior was salvaged. The church was built initially in 1694 in another place, was moved, added to, torn down, blown away - you name it. It has had several restorations with the last one being in 2005. The church building that stands now was basically built in 1883 after the chandelier-breaking storm. With any luck, the church might have some records of the chandelier. Maybe, if we are even luckier, a picture, drawing or even a piece.

The attorney who represented Casey Anthony in her 2012 murder trial will represent the 12-year-old girl who was charged in connection with the suicide death of a bullied Florida girl, MyFoxOrlando.com reported.
Jose Baez will represent the 12-year-old girl who is accused of bullying Rebecca Sedwick before Sedwick committed suicide after climbing a tower at an abandoned concrete plant and jumping to her death, authorities said.
A Facebook post from one of the girls saying she didn't care about Sedwick's death, which led police to the arrests, according to Sheriff Grady Judd. The suspects, ages 12 and 14, have been charged with felony aggravated stalking, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
Judd said Sedwick was "terrorized" by as many as 15 girls who ganged up on her and picked on her for months through online message boards and texts. Some of the girls' computers and cellphones were seized in the investigation. He said the two girls arrested were the major culprits. One of the suspects had been dating Sedwick's former boyfriend. The two had gone to the same school where, at one point, there was a physical confrontation between the girls.
The girl who had been dating Sedwick's former boyfriend went to friends around the school and tried to have them turn on Sedwick, Judd said. The girl posted comments on the Internet saying Sedwick should "drink bleach and die," Judd said. The second girl arrested was a former best friend of Sedwick's who was influenced by the other girl to turn on her, Judd said.
Baez's office did not immediately respond to a phone call from FoxNews.com. Sedwick's family has hired David Henry, the managing partner at Morgan & Morgan in Orlando, MyFoxOrlando.com reported.

Total build (not including glue dry time) took about 3 hours for this guitar. I did my best to use the most inexpensive parts possible. The only tools I use to carve the neck are a knife, hand saw, and a sharp hatchet. Green wood is the easiest to carve, but you risk it splitting as it dries. I used a green piece of maple cut off the tree only hours before and had no problems. The cigar box should be as strong as possible, made of solid wood, not cardboard or particle board. Java by Drew Estate uses an excellent box for this, and makes for a very nice looking instrument. The one I came across I have already used to make a stomp box, but if I find another it will become a guitar. Parts list: Tuning Heads – Cigar Box – 1/4″ Jack – Bolts (bridge/nut) – Neck – Free Microphone (speaker harvested from any outdated electronics) – Free Finishing Nails – Pennies…Free enough Certainly there are ways to make a nicer instrument. The point of this video is to show how quickly and cheaply a guitar can be made, not how to make a masterpiece. Depending on the feedback I get from this video I may make another showing how to build a nicer fretted guitar. Tags: mysteryguitarman mystery guitar man mgm joe penna jp

West Coast University Nursing Program Questions, Please Help!
I am from Hawaii and really interested in transferring to WCU asap. I've taken the majority of all the pre-reqs but not sure if the pre-reqs I've taken here are equivalent to the classes at WCU. So, if anyone knows if there's a credit transfer database or website that can tell me what classes are equivalent to WCU. any additional information is helpful too. I've spoken to a counselor and she was nice but demanded that I find all information on the website. unfortunately, I am all the way here in Hawaii and cannot go to Anaheim until this summer and wanted to know more information before I go. I hope someone can help me or provide me with some kind of information.

human anatomy
written communication
oral communication (speech)
college math (math 101)
life span psychology
cultural pluralism
written communication 2
all of that would be 3 semesters (6 terms). and after those you would start the nursing classes. there are a total of 8 semesters, and this is for the BSN program. if you have any other questions askk.. im starting my classes this summer!May 2, '09hey thanks for replying. I actually do have more questions, and I hope you can help me with them
- Is there a resident and nonresident tuiton, & if there is what are they? how much is it per credit?
-if you do not mind me asking, how much are you paying for a semester?
- after taking all of the general education classes, how long after will it take to finish up the program (in years)?
- what apartments/housings would be safe, affordable, & close by the campus?
-overall, in your opinion, would you recommend and would you say that this is a good, bad, etc. school to attend?
thanks for all your help!
hope to hear from you soon
congrats on starting the program! (^_^)May 2, '09no problem!!
well im not sure about the resident & nonresident tuition, but it is about $9,000 per semester considering your a full time student and $6,000 per semester if you are half time.
I'm not sure but I think i'm paying $5,000 per semester because I received financial aid and pell grant..
I'm going for the BSN program for RN so i'm not sure which one your going for, but mine takes 39 months (a little over 3 years) including the prerequisites which is 8 semesters (16 terms) but if you take all there pre req's at a community college, you'll be going for 5 semesters. in my case i took the classes my school had so now when i start in june, ill be going for 6 semesters.
i cant answer your question on housing cause i'm going to the LA campus..
i've done a lot of research on the school before applying and most of the comments have been great! i havent heard any complaints (besides a couple saying its too much) but that depends on the person. the people at the campus seem very nice and helpfull.
hope i was a help!!May 2, '09thanks a bunch!!!
really helps me a lot knowing about this school before I actually finalize everything since i'm all the way in hawaii and i cant do anything but email and talk to a counselor on the phone.
good luck in nursing school! '')Jul 4, '09hello piinkk
are you in the bsn program now? im planning on going there too (wcu los angeles) but im trying to finish all my prereqs at mtsac so that it will lower down my tuition,,,, i cant find cultural pluralism at mtsac, do you know what might be the other term for it? maybe cultural anthropology/...?>??Jul 5, '09Yah im in the BSN program now and im starting my bio chem class this august.. as far as the cultural pluralism class, I couldnt find it at colleges around me so im just going to take it at West Coast. Also, I couldnt find pathophysiology and biochem. So i basically have those to take at west coast and in february I'll be starting my nursing classes. By the way im going to the LA campus too.. but they're moving to North Hollywood this month i think.Jul 7, '09Hello
I had a few questions myself and was wondering if anyone could help me answer them. I am currently debating whether or not I should attend WCU in LA. I have went to the orientation and heard many wonderful things about them but I to hear the bad things. Can anyone tell me why they have chosen WCU and PINK if so can you tell me how some of the classes are going I need to take the biochem cultural plur and pathophysiology too. I have done all other pre recs so would you happen to know how much it might be like 75K ? Thanks so much!Jul 8, '09Quote from piinkkyah thats what i heard, they are moving this fall in north hollywood.. as of the classes, hows your experiece there nw?Yah im in the BSN program now and im starting my bio chem class this august.. as far as the cultural pluralism class, I couldnt find it at colleges around me so im just going to take it at West Coast. Also, I couldnt find pathophysiology and biochem. So i basically have those to take at west coast and in february I'll be starting my nursing classes. By the way im going to the LA campus too.. but they're moving to North Hollywood this month i think.Jul 8, '09I haven't taken any classes at WCU yet, I'm gonna be taking the rest of my pre reqs that colleges didnt offer starting august 31st. Um.. I chose this school because I didn't want to wait every sememster and see if i got into the nursing programs at colleges. I rather know I'll be starting and finishing FAST! I have no patience hehe... but yah.. I was deciding on either mount st. marrys or WCU and i guess i just like WCU better. But i'm really looking foreward to starting my classes next month! I'll keep you guys updated on how their classes are.. the teachers and so forth!Jul 8, '09Thanks a lot Piinkk I really hate the wait to and this is why I thought about private schools. I am debating between WCU Mount St. Marys, American University of Health Sciences and Western Governors University. Have you ever looked into any of these. Can you please tell me how the HESI test went. I am very nervous and I am planning to take it this AUG. but other people say its a stupid and hard test so now I am worried. If you dont mind me asking did you have to pay more then 75K for WCU cause I am in the same path as you I still need cultural pluralism, biochem, and pathphysiology. Anymore info you know about WCU would be great thanks so muchJul 9, '09No actually I've only looked into WCU and mount st. marry's.. but to tell you the truth, I never really did much research on Mount st. marry's but i did a lot for WCU.. I read a bunch of threads and blogs.
The HESI wasn't the hardest test I've taken.. my bio classes were harder then the HESI if that helps. I didn't pass it the first time (I missed it by 1 question and they didn't give it to me) so i took it a few days later again and got an 89% so I was really happy about that. Its basically just math, english, reading, grammar, and general terminology with some bio terminology too. So it was okay.. I suggest you study from both the handbook they give you AND the online study guide. The one online has a lottt more information and most of the questions were more similar to the ones online on their website. That's also why i probably did so much better the second time cuz i studied off the online study guide. Also, you take the HESI on the computer.. so you should be really careful and take your time cuz you can't go back once you go on to the next question.
As far as tuition, I dont knowo how much I will end up paying in the end because they go by semester/year.. I got a loan so i'm not very worried about that because I will pay it off later. I think, if im not mistaking, im paying about 23,000 the first year.. and they divide the 3 years into 4 so itll be around 90,000 including financial aid. But then again you never know when you might not be eligable for financial aid anymore.
Also, their classes are 10 weeks each term and you meet like twice a weak i think, also as far as i'm concerned you dont get holidays off (but i could be wrong im not 100% sure).
Hope this helped.. let me know if you have more questions I mightt have the answers. heheJul 9, '09Thanks so much piinkk your comments were so helpful. I am just so confused about this school. I always hear good news and bad news so I am not to sure. I am still debating between american university of health sciences, western governors university have you heard of these private schools. After my bachlors I wanted to do a masters program but I am not sure if these classes will transfer over so I am a bit concered too. Any thoughts? I am nervous for the HESI manily the math part it isnt my favorite subject what kind of math did it cover algebra 2 stats, percentages? Wow 23,000 is pretty cheap I think I have to pay around 35-40,000 a year which is so much . Please get back to me soons thanks so much your a great help!:spin:

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
The Classic Arts Showcase has been a true lifesaver for me. It seems that as far back as I can remember, it's been nestled in the higher digits of the channel listings of whatever cable provider I was utilizing at the moment, providing solace from the storm of contemporary pop culture. (And if it's not available in your area, you can always watch it online.)
Classic Arts Showcase has not actually been around forever, and in fact it was launched in 1994, so I suppose I was in on it from the beginning, excitedly whispering about it in high school with my like-minded, classical-loving friend. Yes, that's friend, singular, because even in a performing arts high school it's a bit much to have expected teenagers to prefer Katherine Dunham clips to Madonna videos en masse.
So the two of us whispered, amazed at this thing that we felt had been made just for us. The channel is not-for-profit and showcases classical performing arts, as the name clearly states, but they don't ever hold fundraising drives or ask for pledges like some of their network counterparts. Instead, CAS is entirely funded by the Lloyd E. Rigler-Lawrence E. Deutsch Foundation, having been the vision of founder Lloyd E. Rigler.
Mr. Rigler was a businessman, a World War II veteran, and a philanthropic lover of the arts who sought to increase that audience in a world that was rapidly discarding classical works in favor of newer mediums and technologies. Mr. Rigler and his business partner Mr. Deutsch invested in a number of classical arts endeavors, notably the New York City Opera and the Kennedy Center in DC, and their estates and the Foundation are what enable the 24-hour continuous CAS programming with no begging.
CAS was modeled after early MTV, to show continuous video clips in random order, with the exceptions being that there are no hosts, VJs, or commercials of any sort, and it seems to have maintained its exact format for all these years. As a lover of classical music, and especially classic dance and theater styles, I get easily exhausted by all things modern, and I often run to CAS as a fast-acting balm, an instantaneous relief that's always there for me.
Lately, I've left CAS on in the background while I go on about my business at home. It's like playing a classical music station, with the added benefit of offering fantastic visuals, like Julie Kent's flawless arabesque or Kathleen Battle radiating her specific brand of talent and beauty, when I glance up at the screen.
The other day, however, every time I looked at the screen I saw something that made me laugh, gasp, or stare in awe; for a multitude of reasons:
"Amor volat undique" from "Carmina Burana,"as directed by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle
In the world of classical arts videos, sometimes the creators go out of their way to make the material visually compelling or "fresh," and unfortunately, results can be mixed at best. In the case of this 1975 version of the classic cantata, production house Bavaria Film GmbH went buckwild with trippy scenes and the cheesiest of mid-70's era special effects.
Monsieur Ponnelle was a renowned opera director and at least one internet report says that this production was overseen by composer Carl Orff himself, so perhaps all the blatant sex and demonic carryings-on are simply true to his artistic vision, but whoa nelly are they also unintentionally hilarious.
And here's the full piece. Thank you, YouTube.
"100 Years at the Movies"
One of my biggest delights with CAS is glancing at the TV and catching a clip from the very early days of film. In this instance, I saw one of my beloved black-and-white scenes pop up, but then disappear almost as soon as I had registered what it was. I had caught Chuck Workman's 9-minute montage "100 Years at the Movies," joining it about a minute in.
Chuck Workman has contributed to many Academy Awards ceremonies, and also won one himself, for his montage-style documentary filmmaking. This "100 Years..." reminded me of so many of the specific shots and lines that have made me love movies, and had me tearing up by the end.
Holy Shit, Is That Elizabeth Taylor in Full Blackface?!
OK, that's not the name of the clip, or the performance that it's from, but that's all I could think when I saw this particular image on screen.
I couldn't even wait for the MTV-style credits that appear in the lower left hand corner at the beginning and end of each video; I Googled "Elizabeth Taylor Blackface" and lo and behold, there was Ms. White Diamonds in black makeup, her gorgeous eyes sparkling even more in contrast.
The film is 1988's "Il Giovane Toscanini," translation: "Young Toscanini," directed by none other than the great Franco Zeffirelli. Dame Elizabeth Taylor plays Nadina, a prima donna who (from what I could gather from the clip) is romantically entangled with (much) Young(er) Toscanini, during a time when he was a rising conductor-rockstar who also entertained a young lady closer to his age.
The blackface is because Nadina is starring in a production of Aida in the film, and it is certainly historically accurate to show a white opera star in blackface to portray the iconic Ethiopian princess. Being interested in the perpetuation of such things, or not, actually, I would even go so far as to say that I know the black makeup worn by white performers in certain opera roles such as Aida and Othello was not expressly intended to belittle or mock Black people as a race, which separates it from the minstrelsy with which we derive the term "blackface" as we (who know its history) use it.
Much of opera certainly does have a race problem, but that's a different conversation, and I'm not sure I'll ever have enough free time to watch the full film and see if it is addressed therein in any sort of socially conscious way, which was certainly possible in 1988 with a humanitarian superstar in the role.
Regardless, the visual was extremely jarring to me. Take a look for yourself, and if nothing else, turn away from the screen and enjoy the glorious vocals of Aprile Millo, who dubbed Nadina's vocals."Il Bacio di Tosca," scene re-enacted by Sara Scuderi and Salvatore Locapo
And now we come to the reason why CAS exists. It's one thing to have a chuckle at something unintentionally hilarious, or to be reminded of something I already knew and loved, or side-eye a real head scratcher, but to be drawn in by a piece of classical music that introduced me to a whole other work of art and led me to seek it out is the explicitly stated goal of CAS, which is what happened here.
I was not previously aware of Casa di Riposo per Musicisti, also known as Casa Verdi, after the legendary classical composer Giuseppe Verdi, who founded it. Casa Verdi is a rest home in Milan specifically for retired opera singers and other musicians who made their living in the industry and find themselves in need of such a domicile in their twilight years.
I was also not previously aware of "Tosca's Kiss," (or "Il Bacio di Tosca"), the 1984 documentary about Casa Verdi made by Swiss filmmaker Daniel Schmid. It's a total cliché to say "I laughed, I cried..." about a work of art, and yet here we are. The inside look at the residents of Casa Verde, still bursting with extraordinary talent and yet succumbing in various ways to changes that occur with old age, so moved me that at times I actually found it difficult to watch, but I kept coming back.
This clip, which is what CAS showed, depicts retired opera stars Sara Scuderi and Salvatore Locapo re-enacting a scene together, alternating between embodying the same intensity they performed with decades earlier and a casual sense of amusement, looking to the camera for direction and correcting each other as they go.
The second half of the clip is Ms. Scuderi listening to a 1928 recording of herself, and it is both momentous in its gravity and simple in its quiet reflection on her voice and her life.
I can't stop watching, and being moved by it all over again, this music that was recorded well before I was born, that has led me to discover and immerse myself in something new.
Thank you, Classic Arts Showcase. We see you.

This seems to be the big question. So if you're not in Haiti, where are you?!
Well we arrived in the States two weeks ago today.
I've since spent quality time with my closest college friends in Los Angeles, attended the most beautiful wedding (love you Leah and Armen) in San Diego, got encouraged by visiting some of my APU professors, and went "home" for five fun-filled days with my high school bestie and her husband. Jenn got to chill with some quality friends at Pepperdine. We even had a few days of R & R. Much needed.
I'm writing from the Warnock's home in Morgan Hill which also feels like "home." It would be impossible to recount the number of hours I have spent in this house; church potlucks, play dates as a little girl, youth group nights as a high schooler, car pool pick-up in their drive-way, and even my own baptism in their pool. They opened their spare bed room to me for a few days which gives me the opportunity to reconnect with various people from Westhills Community Church; my church home for eighteen years.
This morning I attended Westhill's worship service. It was great to see familiar faces. Six years has a way of turning the "babies" I once babysat into mature students. I love where this church is at and where they're headed.
It was a privilege to be present for this evening's festivities: a send-off barbeque for the Well's, a missionary family in Cambodia. The potluck dinner was fabulous and the company was enriching.
This trip has been very unplanned which is usually the way I roll. Keeping plans at a minimum has its benefits. I would hate for my agenda to get in the way of God's divine way of connecting people. I wasn't sure if I was going to stay in the area long enough to attend this gathering.
I'm really glad I did.
I enjoyed many really engaging conversations tonight. It's natural for me to be incredibly passionate about Haiti and this effort but when others latch-on to that excitement, now that's energizing!
These next few months are going to be one fun adventure.
Now we can't forget about Jenn! Jenn got to spend the week in Texas with family and friends. At this very moment she's in route to Oklahoma where she will intersect Wes and Tonya and join them for the drive back to their home in Hobbs, NM. If all goes well I will meet up with them Monday. A team huddle is in order.
Thanks to everyone I chatted with tonight. I look forward to the next time we meet!

Hepatitis A associated with Frozen Mixed Berries
|- Attention all doctors -
|Date: 2/06/2017
|Contact telephone number: 1300 232 272 (24 hours/7 days)
Hepatitis A associated with Frozen Mixed Berries
Nationally four cases of locally acquired hepatitis A virus infection have been genotyped with identical sequence to each other and to cases from the 2015 outbreak of hepatitis A associated with frozen mixed berries.
The manufacturer of frozen mixed berries has instituted a consumer level product recall of Creative Gourmet frozen mixed berries 300gm, best before 15 January 2021 distributed nationally and sold through IGA stores, Foodland and other independent grocery stores. The product has been available in independent grocery stores (Foodland & IGA) since October 2016 with most product sold by March this year.
Medical practitioners should be alert for possible cases of hepatitis A in symptomatic individuals and request an urgent Hepatitis A IgM (and IgG) for such cases. Please also urgently notify the Communicable Disease Control Branch (CDCB) of confirmed or suspected cases by telephone. People who have eaten the berries but are asymptomatic do not need to be tested.
The incubation period is 15 to 50 days, usually 28-30 days. Patients frequently experience fever, malaise, weakness, anorexia, right upper quadrant pain, nausea and vomiting. Dark urine is usually the first specific sign of acute hepatitis A infection, followed one or two days later by jaundice and pale faeces. The duration of illness varies, but full clinical and biochemical recovery is usual. Complications, including fulminant hepatitis, are uncommon. In young children the infection may be asymptomatic or a mild illness without jaundice.
Cases are infectious for two weeks before the onset of jaundice to 7 days after the onset of jaundice.
CDCB is not recommending widespread vaccination for hepatitis A for people who may have consumed the suspect product of frozen mixed berries. Hepatitis A vaccine is used to prevent secondary cases in non-immune close contacts of hepatitis A cases, and CDCB will follow up any notified case and provide vaccine for at risk contacts. Vaccine should be given within 2 weeks of the last exposure to the case, if the case was infectious during that time.
Normal Human Immunoglobulin (NHIG) is no longer recommended for prophylaxis, except for persons who are under one year of age, are immunosuppressed, have chronic liver disease or for whom vaccine is contraindicated.

Belgium on Saturday charged a man believed to be the fugitive third Brussels airport bomber with terrorism murder, in a breakthrough for security forces facing criticism for letting suspects slip through the net.
A huge manhunt netted the suspect officially identified as Faycal C — and identified by local media as Faycal Cheffou — and investigators are now working on the theory that he could be the man in a hat and white jacket pictured with two other airport bombers, but whose device failed to go off.
Brussels airport said it will not reopen before Tuesday at the earliest as it implements new security measures and repairs the departure hall wrecked by the bombers, believed to be from the Islamic State group.
Belgians in mourning will gather Sunday for a rally in a central Brussels square now carpeted with flowers and tributes to the 31 killed and 300 injured in the March 22 metro and airport bombs, with a national solidarity march also planned.
Prosecutors meanwhile also charged a man arrested in Belgium over a new plot to hit Paris, deepening the connections in what French President Francois Hollande has described as a single terror cell straddling both France and Belgium.
The Belgian government faces a torrent of criticism at home and abroad, with key ministers on the back foot saying they had done everything possible to prevent Tuesday's attacks and track a network also linked to November's Paris attacks.
Many believe it failed to stop young Belgian fighters going to Syria to join Islamic State (IS) — which claimed the attacks — and then returning home battle-hardened and more extremist than before.
"It is an endless nightmare for a country turned upside down," said Le Soir daily in a front-page editorial.
– 'Man in the hat' –
Heavily armed soldiers and police remained on patrol in the capital and Zaventem airport.
In an indication the city is still on edge, a bomb disposal squad carried out a controlled detonation on a southern Brussels street to destroy a suspect backpack.
Pop diva Mariah Carey on Friday cancelled a show in Brussels, saying she was advised to do so "for the safety of my fans, my band, crew and everyone involved with the tour."
In contrast, veteran French rock star Johnny Hallyday was going ahead with two planned concerts in Brussels over the weekend.
Prosecutors said Faycal C was one of three people arrested outside the Belgian federal prosecutor's office in Brussels on Thursday night as part of a huge sweep of detentions across Belgium and Europe.
"He has been charged with taking part in a terrorist group, terrorist murder and attempted terrorist murder," the prosecutor said.
Asked by AFP if Faycal C. was the suspected third bomber dubbed the "man in the hat", a source close to the inquiry told AFP: "That is a hypothesis the investigators are working on."
Local media named the suspect as Faycal Cheffou, a freelance journalist.
He is the first person charged with terror offences over the Brussels attacks, the worst in the history of a country that is home to the European Union and the NATO military alliance.
A second suspect named as Rabah N. linked to a foiled plot in France was charged with taking part in terrorist activities.
French police said Friday they had foiled a terror strike in France by 34-year-old Reda Kriket — a man previously convicted in Belgium in a terror case alongside Paris attacks ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud — after arresting him and discovering explosives at his home.
A suspect shot in the leg Friday at a tram stop in the Schaerbeek district of Brussels is being held for another 24 hours as investigations into the French plot continue.
– Threat to nuclear plants –
Belgium's ageing nuclear power plants have also come under scrutiny as a possible terror risk, with the EU's anti-terror chief Gilles de Kerchove telling La Libre Belgique newspaper they face the threat of a terrorist cyber-attack over the next five years.
According to reports, a security guard at a Belgian nuclear power plant was murdered Thursday and his access badge stolen. Prosecutors denied any terror link, Belga news agency reported, and said that in fact the man worked at a medical research facility that used radioactive isotopes.
These reports follow the discovery by investigators last year of surveillance footage of a nuclear plant official in the flat of a suspect linked to the Brussels and Paris attacks.
European authorities are under huge pressure to better coordinate the tracking of homegrown extremists and fighters returning from Syria.
The Belgian government has admitted "errors" and two ministers offered to resign after Turkey said it had arrested and deported Ibrahim El Bakraoui, who blew himself up in the airport attack.
Ibrahim and his brother Khalid, the suicide bomber in the metro attack, were also on a US counter-terrorism watch list, CNN reported.
Belgian prosecutors have said that the DNA of second airport bomber Najim Laachraoui was found on a suicide vest and a piece of cloth at the Bataclan concert hall where 90 people were killed during November's Paris attacks, and on a bomb at the Stade de France stadium.
Harrowing stories continued to emerge from survivors of the attacks, in which people of around 40 nationalities were killed or wounded.
Briton David Dixon, 51, who lived in Brussels, texted his aunt after the airport blasts to say he was safe, but happened to be on the metro system and died when a suicide bomber blew himself up at the Maalbeek station near Brussels' EU quarter, British media said.

In the United States, the first Monday in September is designated Labor Day, a holiday to celebrate the contributions of the working class, and also my favorite secondary holiday. Having worked for a whole lot of jerks in my time, I can tell you that it is possible to be successful even when your immediate overseers are malicious, corrupt, incompetent or inattentive, a situation that makes me happy to have the chance to work at Major Spoilers. The Robot Overlord may have a history of disintegrations, but he's pretty consistent in his iron-fisted rule, and doesn't even mind that I routinely misuse "it's" for "its." Still, fiction is full of examples of people it'd be great to work for: Bruce Wayne, who overpays and doesn't have time for employee reviews; Reed Richards, as long as you watch out for the times where the Baxter Building is rocketed into space; The Shadow, so long as you're good with periodic mind-wiping, all of which leads us to today's bank holiday query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, "misquoted") would have picked the option to work for Tony Stark, if only his company didn't fail every fifteen issues, asking: What fictional character do you think would make the perfect boss?
5 Comments
Jabba the Hutt. Ruthless, efficient and with plenty of dancing girls!
No, I'd have to go with Garak from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Work wouldn't seem like work when you get to listen to his fantastical stories (even if they don't have a speck of truth).
I think Braniac 5 would be a good one. He'd base every decision on logic, would cut the favoritism based on whatever social hierarchy bullcrap, judging everyone fairly and hes super duper smart, so he would also make very few mistakes.
Following Alisha's comment with another Star Wars character, I think Darth Vader would be a great boss. Force-choking everyone to a better tomorrow.
Actually, I almost chose Vader. There were a few instances in the EU (both comics and novels) that showed he rewarded loyalty to those who served him. There was a character (name I can't recall off the top of my head) that was seriously injured under Vader's command that Vader made sure he and his family were well taken care of (The Emperor, on the other hand, wanted to clone the man to exploit his loyalty), and his grandson later mentioned it to Ben Skywalker while they served together in the Galactic Alliance Guard.
Considering the number of people under Vader's command through the Empire, the chances of getting Force choked are probably pretty slim.

Next Friday and the following Saturday, fishing, crabbing and clamming in Oregon will be free for both Oregon residents and nonresidents. The official dates for the free fishing days will be November 24 and 25.
That means no licenses, tags or endorsements are required on those days. Even if you already have a combined angling tag, you are not obligated to mark down your salmon or steelhead on the free fishing days. However all other fishing regulations apply.
At this moment a seasonal closure for crab is in effect in the ocean, and crabbing is still closed in bays from the Coos Bay north jetty south to the Oregon/California border due to elevated levels of domoic acid toxin. So, basically no crabbing is allowed at this time anyway.
Also, razor clam harvesting is prohibited from Cascade Head to the Oregon/California border.
Here's how I look at free crabbing and razor clamming during a closure:
Being offered the chance to crab or dig for toxic shellfish on free fishing days is kind of like being offered a filet mignon steak when you're allergic to beef, or presented with a free prime rib dinner when you're on a diet. But hey, thanks a lot for the offer, pal!
But just in case Mother Nature decides to throw us a bone, make sure to call the Oregon Shellfish Information Hotline at 1-800-448-2472 in the event that shellfish regulations might conceivably change.
So what will the weather be like next Friday and Saturday, on those free fishing days? That's only six or seven days away, so anything can happen. Tell you what though, everyone will be praying for good weather, because if you do catch a salmon or a steelhead on the Chetco on any of those free fishing days, you are not required to mark them down on your tag.
But all kidding aside, the Chetco River has been producing some hog-meisters when the river has pulled into shape, just like it did last Sunday when Father Chetco decided to drop toward 3,700 cubic feet per second and several fishing guides were successful on the water.
And there were some hawgs caught. I saw several Chinook over 25 pounds and some photographs of some kings over 40 pounds. In fact, there's been so many 40-pound kings caught this season that I would not be surprised one bit to see a 50-pounder caught this weekend or in the following week.
So what is the weather going to be like this week? The National Weather Service is predicting a repeat performance of last week. If their prediction comes to fruition, drift-boaters will be pulling plugs on Sunday, when the NWS is predicting that the Chetco will again be dropping toward 3,700 cfs. If that happens, you better have a Hawg Nose FlatFish on the end of your line with a sardine wrapper.
To the uninitiated, a sardine wrapper is not about a wordsmith chanting about eating fishy hors d'oeuvres and sushi-like appetizers.
It's an actual fillet of a sardine with the skin left on that is held onto the belly of the plug with Miracle Thread – skin side toward the lure with the flesh facing outward. It's about 1/3 the size of the plug, but the size varies from fisherman to fisherman.
For precise instructions on how to use plugs for salmon and how to trim the fillet, you might want to buy a small inexpensive booklet called "Plug Fishing for Salmon" written by yours truly. The booklet fits nicely inside any tackle box.
After filleting one side of the sardine, you basically trim the fillet into a rectangle with a pair of scissors and then slit one half of it to look like a pair of pants. Placing the slit over the belly hook, simply wrap around the plug with your Miracle Thread from bottom to top.
Anglers were also catching salmon last week by using tuna belly fillets as well, a technique that has grown in popularity in recent years.
The technique of plug-pulling is fairly easy but it has a steep learning curve. Basically the person rowing the drift-boat gently eases the plugs into slots, riffles, chutes, tail-outs, current seams and all other sorts of salmon-holding water. The strikes are savage and the take-downs are vicious, so make sure to keep your rods in their holders.
And get ready for steelhead. A few metalheads have already been caught on the Chetco. Next week just might be the time to stuff a steelie for Thanksgiving.
Tight lines!

While décimas, traditional, narrative songs, are not exclusive to Louisiana, the state has a rich tradition of these folksongs, particularly among its Isleño population in and around St. Bernard Parish. The word décima means "ten lines," and the songs feature complex rhyme schemes in ten-line stanzas. Originating in sixteenth-century Spain, décimas were transported to Louisiana by the Canary Islanders known as Isleños who migrated to the region in the 1770s and 1780s. Modern Isleños continue to sing traditional décimas while developing new songs about their unique communities.
Although the form of the Isleño décima has become much less complex over time, the earliest Isleño décimas originally were sung, and perhaps also improvised, according to the traditional verse pattern. In 1891, Louisiana-French folklorist Alcée Fortier copied down a song sung by an aged Isleño, Pepe Martín, which fragmentarily attests to the ten-verse, metrically complex form. In contrast, modern décimas can be of any length.
The subject matter of Isleño décimas varies. Both traditional and modern versions of the songs are frequently amusing, satirical comments on local events and individuals. Many titles suggest the subject matter, perspective, and tone that characterize the décimas: for example, "Welfare Work," "The Trappers' War," "Mosquitoes and High Water," "Wila the Mule," "The Hunting License," "Conservation," and "The Crab Fisherman's Lament." The subjects of décimas, whose activities, characteristics, attitudes, and foibles may be satirized in the songs, often pretend to be angry about what is said about them. However, in most cases, their protests are for show; they are secretly pleased at being recognized and remembered in the local repertoire of oral tradition.
Décimas are not always humorous or satirical; songs about survival in the face of hurricanes, floods, and other natural catastrophes reveal the strength and independence of the community. Contemporary décimas often reference environmental threats to the wetlands. Still, the tall tale remains the most memorable of the décima themes. For example, in "The Giant Trout," Marcelino catches a trout so large that it blocks traffic on the road out of Shell Beach. When residents measure the fish, they find that it reaches to the other end of the Isleño settlements. In "Shrimp Fishing," the ship is so gigantic that it is equipped with a telephone so the bow can talk with the stern; when the bow finally reaches its home port, the stern is still far out at sea in the Gulf of Mexico.
Irván Pérez, formerly the best-known décima singer in Louisiana's Isleño community, remembered his father, Serafin, sitting around the kitchen table on Saturday nights with his friends. He and his fellow oral poets composed décimas, sometimes individually and sometimes as a group. Perhaps accompanied by a guitar, the group always interspersed their compositions with comments and laughter.
Louisiana décimas relate to other forms of oral poetry composed or improvised in Hispanic America, Spain, and Portugal, (e.g., corridos, gaucho poetry, Basque, Brazilian, and Portuguese improvised songs). The Isleños of St. Bernard Parish created their own highly distinctive Louisiana-Spanish community, however, and the unique qualities of their culture are reflected in the rich tradition of their décimas.Author: Samuel G.

Animal expert Marc Morrone looks at the pros and cons of adopting kittens from shelters, friends and other sources.
Dear Marc: My friend's cat recently had kittens. Is it OK to get a kitten from a friend or should I get one at a pet store or animal shelter?
I have gotten kittens from friends' litters, shelters, pet stores, and off the street, and all have been fine pets.
Getting a kitten from a municipal shelter would, in many cases, save a life, so if you do get one from your friend, perhaps consider going to your local municipal shelter to adopt a second one, so you have two kittens -- two kitties are twice the fun and, for the kitten, the best toy is... another kitten!
Special Thanks

Welcome to the new HomeworkNYC web site. This is the place for parents, teachers, and librarians to find out how to help students successfully complete their homework, using contemporary technology tools. The revised HomeworkNYC web site is the result of research implemented by New York City libraries (Brooklyn Public, New York Public, and Queens Library) that demonstrated that teens were not using traditional tools provided by the libraries to find information for their homework needs.
The research did show that tweens and teens like to use web 2.0 tools and if libraries provided a way to complete homework that incorporated those tools, students would be more likely to use the libraries' resources. The libraries therefore decided to focus on developing apps (applications) that work with Facebook and iGoogle so that teens could easily work on their homework, straight from their favorite virtual spaces.
But, the librarians working on this project also knew that adults in a teen's life, parents, teachers, librarians, and others, were not necessarily familiar with the ways in which current technology can be integrated into homework. That's what the new HomeworkNYC web site is all about. It's for you, the adult in a teen's life, to learn more about technology, so you can more successfully help the teens with whom you might live and/or work with.
