Isaac Aguigui and the FEAR Militia
Crimes: Murder, Conspiracy
Isaac Aguigui is only 22 but is responsible for taking 4 lives. He is a power-hungry, arrogant, amoral, little snotnose who is willing to sacrifice anyone for his insane personal agenda.
Isaac Aguigui was a private in the US Army stationed in Fort Stewart in Georgia. He was also the ringleader of FEAR (Forever Enduring, Always Ready), an anti-government militia. Frighteningly and sickeningly, some fellow soldiers actually joined his crackpot militia.
Isaac Aguigui had targeted troubled or disillusioned soldiers for membership in FEAR. He would make them read a magazine article about a video game that had soldiers attacking the U.S. government to return the country to its former glory. Those pathetic f*cktards who approved of the concept were welcomed into the FEAR fold and even got the FEAR tattoos. Ooooh, nifty!
What's with these lunatic assholes who think they have the right to kill and terrorize fellow American citizens? They are the dreggest of the dregs, IMO. They spit on the very Constitution they had sworn to uphold and the government they had sworn to serve.
These evil, delusional, tattooed bastards of FEAR had actual plans to seize control of the U.S. government. They wanted to bomb dams, poison apple crops, and assassinate the President. Holy shitballs, Batman, that's some serious f*cktardery! And it sounds for all the world like they didn't care how many dozens, hundreds, thousands of people's deaths it took to achieve their goal.
But overthrowing a government takes weapons, and weapons cost money. Apparently privates in the US Army don't make enough take home pay to buy all that bomb-making and people-killing shit.Isaac Aguigui had a brilliant idea. He had a pregnant wife, Deirdre, who had kicked his ass to the curb for his infidelity and drug use. He didn't need her any more. She was superfluous to requirements. Isaac Aguigui obviously wasn't into fatherhood — he'd expressed doubts that the baby was his anyway. But the evil bastard was totally into the half a million dollars he would get if Deirdre died.
I feel so bad for Sgt. Deirdre Aguigui. She was found mysteriously dead in her home on July 17, 2011. She was 7 months pregnant. There were small cuts on her wrists, plus 20 bruises and scrapes on her body. There were sex toys and handcuffs on her bed, and her "bereaved" husband Isaac Aguigui was on hand to tell investigators that they'd just had some kinky sex a couple of hours before. The cuts on the wrists seemed to match the handcuffs.
Isaac Aguigui also told investigators that he'd found Deirdre unconscious and unresponsive on the sofa, with bits of a potato she'd eaten for dinner in her mouth.
The initial military autopsy on the dead woman was inconclusive. The medical examiner couldn't figure out how and why the healthy, pregnant, 24-year-old woman had died.
That's one thing about the Army — they can teach you how to kill very well. Apparently there's a certain chokehold soldiers are taught that leaves no telltale signs. That's a handy skill.
Since no cause of death was determined at the time, Isaac Aguigui got his payout. The Army handed him $100,000 to cover the funeral costs and assorted other expenses, and a month later the life insurance policy handed him $400,000.
What the Army and insurance company didn't know was the couple had split up. They didn't know Isaac Aguigui had talked to his confidantes about the payout and his wife dying before she died. He'd told one friend he'd be "better off if she was gone". He texted his girlfriend just hours before Deirdre died, "We'll have plenty of money. All I need is your body whenever I want it."
Isaac POS asshole Aguigui even confessed his crime to his buddy, Michael Schaefer, a month after Deirdre's death.
"He told me he had strangled her with a bag," Michael Schaefer said. "He handcuffed her, put a bag over her head and strangled her." Isaac Aguigui also admitted he had sexually assaulting her. Evil little bastard.
So what did Isaac Aguigui do with all that insurance loot? He went on a spending spree on behalf of FEAR.
While he was on bereavement leave, he purchased $32,000 in military assault rifles and other weapons and ammo.
This highly suspicious activity came to the attention of the FBI and the Army's criminal investigation division courtesy of a tip from a relative of Isaac Aguigui.
Oblivious to the FBI's and Army's interest, the murdering bastard and his crew kept on buying. They spent $28,000 for more weapons and ammo over the phone through November 2011. A lot of the purchases were illegal.
That month Isaac Aguigui also spent up to $15,000 on drugs—ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, etc.—for the enjoyment of the members of FEAR.
Just a side note: why the hell didn't the FBI or the Army step in there and then and shut down this dangerous band of antigovernment conspirators and wannabe terrorists? WTF were they waiting for? Bombings? Shootings? I just don't understand why no action was taken then.
Meantime, I guess the f*cktard losers of FEAR thought things were going according to plan. I bet they were just salivating at the thought of all the violence and havoc they were going to inflict upon the United States.
But things were not going according to plan completely. There was a glitch, and his name was Michael Roark. He was a 19-year-old private in the Army, stationed at Fort Stewart. He wasn't happy being in the Army — he thought his superiors were picking on him.Pvt. Roark decided to get himself discharged. He had better things to do with his life, like being a mechanic. He also had a 17-year-old girlfriend, Tiffany York. He had plans.
Unfortunately, Pvt. Roark also had intimate knowledge about FEAR. Not only had he been a member but he also had been entrusted with access to Isaac Aguigui's gun-buying money. In other words, he knew way too much.
Isaac Aguigui and his fellow members of FEAR were concerned that once Michael Roark left the Army they would have no control over him. He could talk to authorities and their militia would be destroyed.
Pvt. Roark was released from the Army on December 2, 2011.Isaac the rat bastard coward Aguigui wasn't about to let Michael Roark go. He considered the man a "loose end" whose value to FEAR was now gone. And so the tinpot despot immediately called upon FEAR members Sgt. Anthony Peden, Pvt. Christopher Salmon, and Pfc. Michael Burnett to help do what he decided had to be done — to murder Michael Roark.
The troupe of traitorous bastards called Michael Roark up and invited him to go night shooting. Suspecting nothing, the too-trusting Michael Roark showed up with poor Tiffany York in tow.
According to Michael Burnett, the group had driven to some woods in Long County. As young Tiffany York started to get out of the vehicle, Anthony Peden shot her. He checked for a pulse and then shot her again.
Michael Roark was forced to kneel and was answer questions about the militia's bank account and storage locker.
Isaac Aguigui then forced Michael Roark to look at his girlfriend's body. He told him it was his fault she was dead.
Michael Roark asked for mercy. He got none. He was then shot twice in the head.
Leaving the bodies in the woods and disposing of the gun, the killers then drove to the Peden house. Following Isaac Aguigui's orders they burned their clothes.
Isaac Aguigui had plans for the disposal of the bodies. He called upon a fellow FEAR member, Adam Dearman, to handle that task. Unfortunately, Adam Dearman shot and wounded a man and got his pasty ass arrested before he got around to it.
On Dec. 5, 2011, two fishermen discovered the bodies and Michael Roark's vehicle. The f*cktard killers had also left a walkie-talkie at the scene. Duh!
Five days after the murders Isaac Aguigui, Anthony Peden, Christopher Salmon and his wife Heather, and Michael Burnett were arrested.These stupid turdpile assholes who thought they were clever and superior enough to overthrow the U.S. government were caught for murder after less than a week! Shows what mental midgets they truly are! And I, for one, am relieved by that.
It took only 20 minutes of interrogation by a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent for mastermind Isaac Aguigui to break down and confess. I hope he pissed his pants and cried. He did whimper though.
"I'm just going to end up in a jail cell alone for the rest of my life," the shitstain killer whined.
On August 27, 2012, Michael Burnett pled guilty to manslaughter and illegal gang activity. He agreed to testify against his FEAR co-conspirators. For making the deal he was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
In April 2013, Isaac Aguigui was charged with the murder of Sgt. Deirdre Aguigui. Hallelujah, she hadn't been forgotten! Medical examiner Dr. James Downs reviewed her case and concluded she had been strangled while struggling violently against handcuffs behind her back.
In July 2013 the cowardly killer Isaac Aguigui pled guilty to malice murder for the deaths of Michael Roark and Tiffany York. He also pled guilty to criminal gang activity. He was sentenced to life in prison, no parole.
Anthony Peden and Christopher Salmon made plea deals to avoid the death penalty.
On April 3, 2014, Christopher Salmon, 27, received a life sentence in Long County Superior Court with no chance of parole. He offered an apology to the victims' families. "I'm sorry I killed your son and I'm sorry I did nothing to stop the murder of Tiffany," the murderous Salmon said.
On the same day in Long County Superior Court Anthony Peden pled guilty to malice murder. He will be sentenced later. He will get an automatic life sentence but the judge must decide if he'll ever be eligible for parole.
A crying Anthony Peden extended tearful apologies to the victims' families.
Roark's mother didn't accept his apology. "I hope you suffer," she said. "And I hope your days don't have any sunshine in them, because you took mine from me."
Tiffany York's mother didn't accept his apology either. "He's looking for hope," the grieving woman said. "I have no hope that my Tiffany will ever come home to me."
On March 27, 2014, Isaac Aguigui was found guilty at a Fort Stewart court-martial of murdering Deirdre Aguigui and her unborn baby. Since he's already serving life without parole it'll make no difference to his lifestyle. I only wish there was a way his sentence could be made doubly difficult. Since he's only 22, he's got decades ahead of him to realize what a completely f*cked up worthless loser he is.I shall attempt to keep readers posted about the sentence Anthony Peden receives. And we mustn't forget Heather Salmon.
Heather Salmon was an active participant in FEAR's plans. She had allegedly been in negotiations to purchase the land in Washington State using Isaac Aguigui's blood money. The land was intended to become FEAR's compound and terrorism headquarters.
Heather Salmon was charged for helping to plan and execute the murders of Tiffany York and Michael Roark. She has pled not guilty.
RIP Deirdre Aguigui, Tiffany York and Michael Roark. I extend my sympathies to those who loved them.
I wish nothing but suffering upon the traitorous, treasonous, murderous cowards, Isaac Aguigui and all the members of FEAR.
And dear readers, if you see anyone sporting a FEAR tattoo, run fast and run far!

Aguigui you are one sick despicable man. You should have baby killer and wife killer stamped on your forehead. then lets see how long you survive in prison. And all your little friend deserve all the pain and suffering this world has to offer. Burn in hell
Too bad all the FEAR members didn't blow themselves up with their own bombs. They are too stupid to live. I wish the death penalty could have been applied to them all. They deserve as much mercy as they showed the victims – none!
Too bad Aguigui can't be made to serve his sentence under the prison. Same for all his FEAR buddies.
Under the prison or maybe fertilizing the lawn.
FEAR: fucking enter arse at rear, hopefully their new jail buddy,s or bubba, take that fear sign seriously.
LMAO, this post needs a like button!
Glad these idjits went and marked themselves with a big ass tattoo. And is the A for Aguigui or asshole? I like how they went big like they're proud of being members of FEAR and want to shout it to the world. I bet when they were being rounded up by authorities they weren't so pleased with those tattoos.
2cute, i bet when they got arrested, they wished to god that they ever got those tattoos done, dumb arsehole's.
Wow, imagine my surprise finding out all this happened a year later. I knew Isaac as a child. So cute, so loveable, strong Christian values. I had heard of his wife's passing and felt so bad for him. I found his FB page through his Dad and sent a friend request. That was 2 years ago. To my shock I got notice that he accepted my friend request today 2 years later? just to scroll down his Fb page and see how disturbed this young man was after all these years. I found a link that led me here to the full story. Still in shock. I found a pic of me holding him when he was 3. I want to know how someone so innocent can become so evil and who the heck has control of his FB account? Please don't tell me it was him.
Terrible what Happened with the Berlin Christmas Market Attack
Given the Fact that People Died in this Attack I would Regard it as both
Murder and Terrorism and of course Reprehensible
Terrorism is of course Terrible
It is Obnoxious that Apparently some Anti Trump Scum were prepared to
Stop an Event in Washington DC using Acid to Attack Better People
Acid Attacks with a Political Motive are an Act of Terrorism and Need
to Carry a Life Sentence plus 300 Years and of course if the Person Dies
as a Result of the Acid Attack then it is Murder and the Death Penalty is
Terrorist Attacks are UN Acceptable
Should Anti Trump Thugs Target the DC Metro Railway to Block Access
to the InAuguration than that is Terrorism
There is a Difference between a Peaceful Protest and Terrorist Behaviour
including Thugs Punching Peoples Throats which is at the very Least
Attempted Murder
Paying People to Behave in a Riotous Way at Political Events Needs
to be Regarded as Terrorism Not Least where there is Assault of People and Vandalism of Buildings going onto Arson
One thing about trump is at least he calls a spade a spade, he says what were all thinking, and what other people are too frightened to say.
Assault and Violence Damage to Buildings or Vehicles with a Political
Motive wherever Right Wing or Left Wing is Terrorism
Casual Violence is UN Acceptable and so too is Townie Mentality behind it
Violence with a Political Motive like the Recent Assaults Carried Out by
Anti Trump Thugs is Terrorism
Instead of Protesting against President Trump in the UK what would be
Better is For Decent People to Protest against the Disgusting Thuggery
and Violence Committed by Anti Trump Thugs in the USA and Demand that
they are Barred from the United Kingdom Channel Islands and Isle of Man
Violence with a Political Motive is Terrorism
Any Alleged " Newspaper " that Condones Violence with a Political Motive
even if it so called " Progressive Left " should be Boycotted
Totally UN Acceptable
Namely the Threatening of the Child of a Female Journalist by Anti Trump
Thugs in the USA
Definitely Terrible and Terrorism
It can be Said with Moral Truth that the Threatening of a Young Child
of a Female Journalist by Anti Trump Thugs in the USA is both Child
Abuse and Terrorism Combined Definitely Terrible
Looks like Anti Trump Thugs Blocking a Road in New England prevented an
Ambulance with a Critically ILL Person in it from getting to a Hospital
A Shower of Scum whose Conduct Amounts to Terrorism
In any Case of where Thugs block Roads leads to someone in an Ambulance
in Need of Hospital Treatment Dying as a Result of Not being able to
Get to Hospital they are Guilty of Murder
The LLL
The Lousy Loutish Left
Thuggish Nasty and Totalitarian
The Behaviour of Anti Trump Thugs has Amounted to Terrorism
Graffiti put on Decent Peoples Homes to Intimidate with a Political Motive is Terrorism
Hopefully The UK will Start to Care More about the Homeless and Victims
of Murder and Terrorism than the " European Human Rights " of Terrorists
That would be something Good
Terrible the Saint Petersburg Metro Attack and Sad the Deaths of Innocent People as a Result of this Vicious Attack
Murder is Murder and Terrorism is Absolutely Terrible
Despicable what Happened at Manchester
Namely the Terrorist Attack
The Manchester Attack is Clearly Terrible
Clearly an Act of Terrorism
It shows the United Kingdom Need's to have Proper Border Controls
so that Terrorists are Barred from Entering the UK or to Smuggle Weapons into the UK and that Requires more Border Guards including Patrol Vessels
Yes and look what theresa cunt face may has done. But the budget at the border control, axed 7000 prison officers, and toughened the stop and search for police, and god forbid if you ask someone to remove their veil? Cos your a racist. I'm all for integration but its not worth dying for. Tell the parents of those murdered children that he left the country and came back with a bomb. Any Fucking radical turd burglar that leaves the country to fight with isis, need their passports taking and tell them to Fuck off back to the middle ages where women are treated like shit. Not for me, not for me. An anyone come on here and call me a zenophobic, kiss my ring, and not the one on my finger.
It is Totally Un Acceptable of Leftist Legislators in the United States of America to Apparently Engage in Violence or Threaten the Life of another Elected Representative
Such Conduct should Result in any such Perpetrator being Banned from
Standing from Office Again and Equally Being Sacked as a Legislator

We're in the awkward time between when summer camps end and when school begins here in New York City. As a result, we've got a kid or two in the office most days. I've enjoyed seeing kids zoom by on the office tryke, and trying to figure out whose offspring is whose. And I love that I work in the type of office where this is ok. However, I haven't been brave enough to try it myself. I don't have an office, not even a cubicle, and I worry my almost-kindergartener would be a huge distraction for my co-workers, not to mention me. Let's just say she likes to talk (and talk and talk). And I'm not sure my office-mates want to hear the detailed back-story on all 37 of her Silly Bandz.
Have you ever brought your child to work? How did it go? What did you do to make sure your child behaved herself?

Security concerns are spreading far and wide and have reached the forefront of most everybody's mind. Terms like antivirus or firewall are no longer strange vocabulary and are not only understood, but also used by the masses. Most people also understand that sensitive information, such as credit card numbers or address data, should be transmitted using a secure connection.
With the rise of social networks however, more and more private information is transmitted via websites without any security layer. While it is possible to increase one's privacy by making a profile private, the transmission of data will still be unencrypted and can thus be intercepted easily. Twitter Twitter Adds "Always Use HTTPS" To Settings, Enable It Now! [News] Twitter Adds "Always Use HTTPS" To Settings, Enable It Now! [News] Read More and Facebook reacted earlier this year and have been offering an optional secure connection, i.e. HTTPS. In this article I will explain how HTTPS works and how you can enable it on any website that supports it.
What Does HTTPS Mean?
HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure. To make sense of this cryptic name, let's break it up into its components.
HyperText describes the content of a website that does not require scripts or plugins, i.e. text, tables, or images. The word is also found in the acronym HTML Top 11 HTML Tags Every Blogger & Website Owner Must Know Top 11 HTML Tags Every Blogger & Website Owner Must Know The world wide web knows many languages and is coded in several different ones. The one language however, that can be found all over and has been around since the invention of webpages, is the... Read More , which means HyperText Markup Language.
HTTP is a networking protocol that guides the transfer of data between a client, for example a browser and a server, which typically is a computer hosting a website.
Secure connections are a combination of two protocols: HTTP and SSL/TLS. The latter are cryptographic protocols that encrypt network connections. The abbreviations translate into Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security. Apart from web browsing, these protocols are used to encrypt data transfers in emails, online faxes, instant messages, and voice-over-IP.
Taken together, HTTPS means that the 'plain text' communication of a website is encrypted to increase security.
How Can I Always Turn On HTTPS?
HTTPS is not something you can simply turn on. It is a service provided by websites and can only be enabled when offered. However, there are more and more websites that do provide this service. Unfortunately, most don't offer HTTPS as a default connection and manually switching from HTTP to HTTPS is inconvenient and thus easily neglected.
If you want to play it safe and always use HTTPS whenever it is available, I recommend using a Firefox extension called HTTPS Everywhere. HTTPS Everywhere is a collaboration between the Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It was recently released as version 1.0 and has officially left the beta stage. It now contains a list of hundreds of websites that support HTTPS.
Should you find a website that is missing, you can create your own rule and add it manually. Click on the respective link in the options window of the extension to learn how to write your own rule sets.
If you wish to exclude a website, you can remove the green checkmark and prevent HTTPS Everywhere from making a secure connection. Note that this does not overrule the defaults of the website itself, which may still force a secure connection for certain tasks.
A similar extension called Use HTTPS Options is available for Chrome. Presently it only supports Twitter and Facebook.
Last year, someone asked "How I can surf the internet always using a secure SSL connection?" on MakeUseOf Answers, which created quite a discussion and highlighted how HTTPS is often misunderstood. As pointed out previously, it is not something you can force on a website, it is an encryption service that the website has to offer.
There were several more questions and if you are interested in the topic, you should check out the detailed answers:
- How can I secure my computer against attacks when visiting unsecured http sites?
- Do you need the extra security of HTTPS if your Internet connection is secure?
- How secure is http?
How secure do you feel when you browse the net and transmit private data?

This article offered me 'not much'. I am an end user of several PCs and laptops and any browsing is now effectively shut down due to security warnings related to "https". In my case I consider this to be more foolishness and have no idea how to equip my PCs and laptops with any "https" protocol. I've only been online since 1993.
What all these websites--and Google-- forget is in the rural parts of this country it is still common to only have a 56k dial-up connection and SSL slows it down even further. That, along with the heavy graphic content that is now common, is keeping people in rural areas in a pre-internet age when everything is moving online. It's not right to REQUIRE full-time SSL while just surfing, insecure or not.
I try to view my security camera on my iphone and keep saying HTTP connection failed.
But i can view it at my office , not in the remove area , can you please help
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/flcpelgcagfhfoegekianiofphddckofWhy is this not mentioned.
It works on most webpages that has https
KB SSL Enforcer
Thanks for sharing that one, Bjørn!
The reason it is not mentioned is because I probably didn't search for SSL when scanning for alternative browser add-ons.
1 query. how is a connection going to be secured by a plugin. if a website doesnt support it then how can i force it to be secure. it will be still transmitted as unsecured bits over the net.
that's what the article points out (see first paragraph of 'How can I always turn HTTPS on?'): the plugin only gathers all websites (server side) that do support/offer HTTPS and then forces the browser (client side) to use HTTPS. Obviously the client depends on what is offered by the server side.
ok, got it. now it make sense. :)
I feel HTTPS Everywhere should be a standard add-on with Firefox updates. Secondly, while I feel fairly secure transmitting private information, there are concerns regarding in-the-wild or zero-day malware that browsers may not yet be prepared to handle. These include browser hijackers among others, though I feel that with better filters and heuristics at the browser level, the problem can be contained, if not entirely solved.

While reading the 2015 The New Horizon Report K-12 I was intrigued by the article suggested for further reading titled, Hybrid Learning Sends Test Scores Soaring. Despite constant revision to my math instruction, I haven't been able to help students achieve the learning breakthrough that I would expect given the amount of thought, time, and energy I am putting into math instruction. The article defines hybrid learning as a combination of instruction that consists of this rotation: small group teacher-led instruction, collaborative work in small groups, and self-paced computer based learning.
The article stated that the first year of implementation did not go well, but the school leaders believed in what they were doing and it paid off with these results in the second year: A 24 percentage-point increase in math scores, a 20 point gain in reading, and 27 point gain in science. Those are pretty impressive results!
I read some peer-reviewed articles (see links below) on the topic and they all emphasized these positive qualities of hybrid or blended learning:
- student choice in how they work (some teachers do not mandate that students always move through the complete rotation depending on the task)
- collaborative learning is connected to higher learning gains compared to independent learning
- small group teacher-led instruction, self-paced, differentiated computer instruction, and collaborative work with peers has the potential to deliver personalized student feedback three times if a student completes the rotation
These are all attributes that I strive for in my classroom, but I've been searching for an instructional model that helps me integrate them each day. Math time seems to be the best place to start given the need for improvement and the fact that it is very difficult to deliver the same math mini-lesson to 30 students and then alter their assignment when their mathematical abilities range from second to fifth grade. I can't wait to give this a try this year!
Research about various benefits of blended learning:
Effects of Collaborative and Individual Learning in a Blended Learning Environment
Understanding Process and Affective Factors in Small Group Versus Individual Learning with Technology
Distributed collaboration activities in a blended learning scenario and the effects on learning performance

So, 17 chapters in and I have no idea what this book is supposed to be about. At first, it seemed intriguing and now I feel bored out of my mind. I mean, what's the point? What is this leading up to?
Plus, chapter 16 we're into a life and nothing really gets settled when we head into chapter 17. I'm very disappointed. I was hoping for more. I guess we'll see if this gets any better. So we do end up swinging back but I'm so bored by chapter 22 that I've given up. I mean, I can't bring myself to start reading it again.
I really expected something else. It looks like some are saying the first 20% is good and then the last 30%. I don't want to wait that long. There is so much more out there.

NEW VISTAS: A trip to India, an interview with Angelina Jolie and rotating timepieces were some of the features being touted on Louis Vuitton's relaunched Web site, which went live Friday. The digital platform is divided into five sections, including the brand's online magazine "New, Now," which is split into sections that link into city guides or showcase guest editors' top Internet picks, for instance.
The Journeys section is dedicated to corporate content, while Collections features 360-degree images of products and an enhanced search facility that allows users to browse by category, line, color or collection. The Stores section offers both online shopping and links to physical stores, while My LV allows visitors to bookmark information in a customized space.
Visitors are also given opportunities to interact on the site and share information they find via their favorite social networks. The Louis Vuitton site revamp comes on the heels of last month's makeover of the Dior Web site. Both brands are owned by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.

How to Look Flirty and Classic for Back to School
Five Methods:Skin CareHair CareClothingBody CareMakeupCommunity Q&A
A lot of people in Middle and High school want to impress a boy or their friends by dressing nicely and being just straight out gorgeous! Here is a routine for an everyday teenage girl.
Skin Care
1Start off by creating a skin regimen because everybody loves perfectly glowing skin!
2Wash your hands to remove any germs so they do not spread to your face. Find a cleanser that is great for your skin type(Cetaphil, Neutrogena: clean and clear, Proactive, etc.). Next, use a gentle toner, then apply a moisturizer ( repeat twice a day). Once a week, use a scrub that won't irritate your skin.
Hair Care
1Most girls hair may have frizzy or tangled hair so here is a way to create a sleek do! Start off with strengthening shampoo and conditioner to help your hair grow out. Then, once a week use a deep conditioner. Once you are done washing your hair and get out of the shower, apply detangler and comb your hair out. When you're done, part your hair. Later, apply a defrizzing and shining serum and/or cream. Work it well through your hair and let it air dry to maintain moisture. Use a heat protectant like Tresemme before styling your hair. You can also use a cute headband or style a braid instead!
2Wash your hair only every other day. Washing too much will lead to dry, thin hair.
3Get a new hairstyle for back to school. Get it cut in a different style, add a fringe/bangs, dye it, get highlights, etc.
1Go through your closet. If it only consists of only one style of clothing, sell them or donate to charity! Go to the shops with your friends and pick out some cute, well-built tops that enhance your bust and smooth your hips like patterns and ruffles!
2Get some cute jeans that make you look slim and curvy!
3If you have to wear a uniform, style it up a bit! Use accessories like necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc.
4Pick out a pair of cute flats or trainers!
Body Care
1Make sure that you always shave or wax your legs. and underarms. If you have hair on your body, that mini skirt and vest top won't look so cute if you have hair sticking out of it!
2Use a lotion daily so your skin will be soft and won't dry out.
3Exfoliate once in a while. Exfoliating will get rid of dead skin cells, but don't do it too often (Too much exfoliating could peel right through your skin and make it red).
4Wash your body every day and make sure you do after you work out!
1Apply a concealer. Add especially over any blemishes and under eye circles.
2To smooth your complexion, apply a tinted moisturizer or foundation. If you are using foundation instead of tinted moisturizer, apply some moisturizer before to soften your skin.
3Apply a blush or bronzer in your tone, then add a brightening dust to highlight, and blend it together for a nice glow!
4Eye makeup should be neutral. Use minimal mascara, but enough to make your eyes pop. If you're using eyeliner, don't make it too dark (it's school!), and don't do a big rim around your eyes because it'll make them look smaller.

Waiting for Apple's iPad and its iBooks and iBookstore app? The outstanding Project Gutenberg has 30,000 free-as-in-beer-and-and-as-in-speech ePub format eBooks to help keep you start building your library today.
If you're not already familiar with the geeky details, ePub is the open, free-flowing eBook format that Apple is using for iBooks. However, let's caveat that "open" piece -- ePub books bought from the iBookstore will be using Apple's FairPlay DRM (digital rights management) which means that while ePub is a widely supported format, Apple ePub books won't work on other devices, and ePub books using other DRM (like Adobe Content Server) won't work on the iPad. Headache, right? Well, the good news is DRM-free ePub eBooks -- like those from Project Gutenberg -- should work on the iPad and pretty much everything else.
To use Project Gutenberg, just click on the link above and browse or search away. If you're not sure where to start, try their Top 100 list. When you find something you like, scroll down to the EPUB link and download the file.
Apple is also giving us an easy-as-iTunes way to drag, drop, manage and sync free ePub books over to the iPad. (Hopefully iPhone owners will one day get the same ability, though in the meantime we have the powerful if less elegant super-combo of Calibre and Stanza.)
If you know of any other great sources for free ePub content -- or any terrific free eBooks you want to recommend -- tell us about them in the comments.

Actor Rob Lowe narrowly won approval from planners for a massive dream estate on his $8.5 million Montecito lot despite a neighbor's complaint that the mansion would spoil his panoramic ocean view.
"I've always been a big believer in the process. I'm obviously pleased with the outcome," the former star of "The West Wing" said after Wednesday's 3-2 vote by the Montecito Planning Commission.
The vote came after a daylong commission debate over whether the proposed 14,260-square-foot estate would overwhelm the Picacho Lane neighborhood, which is also home to mystery writer Sue Grafton.
Lowe's proposal calls for a 24-foot-high privacy hedge that would screen their estate from neighbor Fred Gluck, former head of the international consulting firm McKinsey & Co. Gluck said the hedge would partially block views of the Pacific.
The complaint blossomed into a debate on the expanding size of Montecito homes.
Lowe, who purchased the 3.4-acre, undeveloped property for about $8.5 million last year, told the commission that Gluck first complained about potential view loss, then on the size of the home.
Lowe noted that Gluck's 8,577-square-foot home also exceeds Montecito guidelines for what planners call floor-area ratios.
Lowe's proposal is to build a 9,860-square-foot home with a 2,000-square-foot basement, an 800-square-foot guest house, an 800-square-foot second-story cabana with an 800-square-foot garage below. There will also be a swimming pool, spa and tennis court.
On Wednesday, three commissioners sided with Lowe and said the estate was compatible with the neighborhood. Two agreed with Gluck that the project sets a disturbing precedent

There's been a healthy injection of tribal prints in the stores and it's a look you can work into pieces you already have. The bold graphics wake up your wardrobe basics and really spice up them up. You can easily tone them down by slipping on a cardigan or jacket on top or play them up and make the print the center of attention. Maybe it's just me, but when I see a woman in a funky, colorful, graphic print, it makes me think she's artistic, easy-going and probably knows where to find a great pair of dangling earrings. I also think, she's got to have a sense of humor, because who could be serious in this joyous riot of color and pattern!
The look from TurquoisePassion from Austin, TX (above) is dead on for a cocktail party, date night or girls' night out. If you wanted to take this look to work, just switch out the flowy skirt for a pencil skirt or slight a-line and you're good to go. It also would be perfect with pants or crops. You could do so much with this one top — I love it!
The second look by LissaKahayon of Manila, Philippines takes a colorful tribal skirt (which she wore as a top last year and then shortened it) and works it as a great transitional piece. She's showing hers with bare legs and a tank top, but I could easily see this with a pair of tights, lace-up ankle boots or knee-high boots as well when the weather is cold. Great for work and casual.
Lastly, I came across another winning look from Annebeth from Antwerp, Belgium. You might remember her from another posting earlier this year in May, when I did Loving: Modern Prairie. I swear I'm not stalking her, I just loved how she styled this tribal top and high-waisted pant and then I realized it was the same fantastic girl from before. Obviously, she had loads and loads of style. At first blush, this might look like a simple top and pant combo, but when you look more closely you can see that Annebeth layered her tribal print top with a smaller print scarf in red and then topped it off with a gold filigree necklace. This is exactly how to mix prints with one big print as the focus and then adding a smaller print to complement it. Usually, you'd find common ground between the prints with one of the colors, but I'm sure even that's a guideline to break.
Enjoy these tribal looks from these three style galleries via Chictopia.com today. I think you'll like incorporating a tribal piece into your fall/winter wardrobe. I've already been happily sampling this look. A few months back, I stumbled upon an ikat print tank top at Urban Outfitters and being reasonably priced, I bought it without even trying it on (which I never do). In the two months I've had it, I've worn it probably six times already, both casually and dressed-up for dinner with friends. It's one of those pieces that I'm so glad to have.

This September in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, the wind has been clattering against my windowpanes at night, sounding a low, urgent whistle under the rattle of glass and walls. It sends the delicate purple flowers of the tajibo tree scattering, pushes me from one moment to the next. I picture those purple flowers clinging feebly to branches before hurtling away, moment after moment tumbling past. These moments, in a country not my own, in a home that's temporary, have become my wealth. I believe life is weighed in moments, the present a continual gift.
My husband and I arrived in Bolivia almost two months ago. This is our second international teaching assignment; we spent the last two years in China. Despite the excitement when we first moved overseas, somehow I felt I was constantly waiting—waiting to learn a new language, waiting to feel comfortable in a new apartment, waiting for culture shock to subside, waiting to develop the lesson plan that would change my students' lives forever.
I have come to realize that waiting is a hollow thing, dust-dry and empty as a husk. I'll never be a flawless teacher, but when a student slips me a card of thanks at the end of the year, or when someone says "I get it," or even when eyes glaze over and we can't learn anymore, why need I be? Students teach me to stop seeking some sterile, nonexistent perfection, and to relish moments instead. Now, the moments of my life fill me like a deep breath—passing a summer evening on the porch with my father, mother, and brothers, inhaling the musky forever smell of my grandparents' barn, joining uncles, aunts, cousins over tables piled with food, tangling the muddy brown swirl of a horse's mane in my fingers, spilling words with friends over coffee or across campfires, running through sunlight as it bathes forest trees and fields, helping in-laws collect rocks under a wash of lake water in summer. A far-flung future has no hold; I am exactly where I should be.
One year I asked my students to read, then write about, William Stafford's poem, "You Reading This, Be Ready." "Will you ever bring a better gift for the world / than the breathing respect that you carry / wherever you go right now? Are you waiting / for time to show you some better thoughts?" Stafford asks. I breathe. I speak now, don't wait. My husband tells me, "Our reality is a decision we make moment by moment." I listen.
The purple flowers twirl. They dance down dark streets my Bolivian friend and I run together, beginning our day. They float lazily into my limonada at the restaurant where my husband and I eat yucca fries and salsa; there's a tree over our heads, and we smile because it blesses our moments at the table. In my mind, I take hold of each flower, then let it go. I believe in celebrating moments.

Hawaiian Wedding Rings
During the colonial times in America, certain items of jewelry were not allowed due to their moral worthlessness. Instead, a thimble was given to women as a token of love and a sign of marriage. In the present scenario, men and women have become more independent and liberal and can choose their wedding partners at their own discretion. Presenting a wedding ring to the partner is a way of expressing love and devotion towards each other.
Wedding rings represent symbols such as love, eternity, commitment, honor, trust, and loyalty. Numerous varieties of rings are available for couples to choose from, out of which the Hawaiian wedding rings have come to be fairly popular. These rings have come in vogue due to their unique make and their ability to present an entirely different style statement. These rings are gaining recognition around the world as more and more couples are finding it a unique experience.
Hawaiian wedding rings are atypical as they are made out of different seashells. They come in various colors and shapes unlike the traditional rings, which usually are circular. These Hawaiian rings blend in with the Hawaiian atmosphere and give a distinct feel to the individuals. Since Hawaii has been associated with flowery clothing, breezy beaches, and cool coconut drinks, the seashell rings enhance the already cheerful ambience.
Although, Hawaiian rings are made from seashells, their popularity has made the ring designers couple them with other metals. This gives the customers the trendy and funky looks of the seashells and the sturdy and durability of metals. Some couples would prefer Hawaiian swirl ring, which are slightly curvy and wavy. They are made out of gold or even a mixture of two or more alloys. The most popular Hawaiian rings have engraved initials over them.
There are sites, which provide detailed information of the various types of Hawaiian wedding rings.
Wedding Rings provides detailed information on Wedding Rings, Titanium Wedding Rings, Platinum Wedding Rings, Celtic Wedding Rings and more. Wedding Rings is affiliated with Diamond Wedding Bands.

The megamerger of Exelon Corp. and Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. (PSEG) almost certainly will attract heavy scrutiny from regulators, analysts predicted after the companies announced a $12 billion stock swap late Monday. It would create a behemoth of an electricity/ natural gas utility, with a base of 18 million customers from Illinois to New Jersey and combined revenues of $26.1 billion last year. Exelon is based in Chicago; PSEG in Newark, N.J.
Microsoft expects to learn Wednesday whether the sweeping sanctions ordered against its operations in Europe will be suspended while it appeals the matter. The software giant asked the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg to stay the ruling by the European Union last March that it pay a record $666 million fine, share certain trade secrets with its competitors, and modify some of its products so that they're compatible with those made by rivals. Analysts said the appeal of that ruling could drag on for up to five years.
Expedia, the highly profitable Internet travel site, will be spun off to stockholders early next year by its parent company, InterActive Corp., the latter announced. Entertainment tycoon Barry Diller will remain as chairman of both, the announcement said. Expedia has generated revenues of more than $1.8 billion this year. InterActive is an umbrella company comprising dozens of businesses, ranging from the Home Shopping Network to TicketMaster.
James Hardie Industries, once among the world's larger makers of asbestos, agreed to set aside $1.14 billion in compensation for persons diagnosed with diseases because of exposure to its product. The money will go into a fund over a 40-year period, the company said. Such a fund has been maintained for years, but its size - $224 million - had brought endless criticism, and in 2001 the company moved its headquarters from Australia to the Netherlands. Trade unions in Australia, which led a boycott of its building materials to try to force an increase in the size of the fund, called it off after the announcement.
PanAmSat became the latest company to seek a return to the stock market after being acquired by a private equity firm. The Wilton, Conn., operator of communications satellites filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission Monday for approval for an initial public offering of shares worth $1.12 billion. PanAmSat was bought earlier this year by investors led by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts for $4.2 billion. Other corporations relisting on the market after being similarly acquired include the chemical group Celanese, TRW Automotive, Foundation Coal Holdings Inc., and Nalco, a leading water-treatment business.

I do not own NCIS or any part thereof.
I have not set this story in any particular time period within the series but after watching CLOAK and DAGGER I can see it fitting in right after those two! This story is rated M for a bedroom scene. The song Ziva is liking so much is "Here for the Party" by Gretchen Wilson. It's a woman's partying song if there ever was one.
Here for the Party
Ziva critically examined herself in the full length mirror hung on the back of her bathroom door. She ran her hands through her hair again, giving it a more tousled look. She shook her head and the large gold hoops in her ears swung lazily. Her blood red-colored halter top clung to her breasts and left an expanse of flat midriff exposed; she knew most of her back was bared as well. Her tight black pants were low slung and flare-legged, allowing her to wear her tall black boots with the stilettol heels, which also allowed her to take her backup gun in one boot and a long knife in the other.
She smiled at herself liking what she saw. She was dressed to kill tonight. She turned and looked over her shoulder at the rear view. She bent forward. Yes, she'd been right. No panties. The pants were so tight and so low even a thong would have been unacceptable. So she decided on going guerilla as Tony and McGee said. No, wait, that wasn't right. What was it? Oh yes, commando. She was going commando tonight.
She picked up a tube of dark red lipstick from amidst her other makeup spread out over the counter; as she started to apply it she thought back to the catalyst of this night out.
She'd been driving home yesterday, totally frustrated with her coworkers when she'd heard the song. Gibbs had been unbearable all week, Tony and Tim not much better. A marine had been killed. At first Gibbs was sure the wife did it. He always thought the wife did it. Ziva believed his multiple marriages had something do with how he always thought it was the spouse. But as they'd investigated further they'd found the marine also had a string of girlfriends in and around Norfolk. She herself had interviewed five of them. Every one they brought in seemed to be more beautiful than the last and to have larger breasts. Tony had been on a lust-driven high all week and Tim not far behind. She'd been ignored, overridden or blatantly insulted almost every time she opened her mouth. So when she heard the deep, throaty voice of the singer belting out what had to be the ultimate party anthem for women everywhere she'd been drawn to it immediately.
She'd stopped on the way home and picked up a copy of the CD at the local mall. She listened to the song all the way home. In fact, she was listening to it now. She sang along with the chorus.
"I'm here for the party and I ain't leavin' til they throw me out. I want to have a little fun. I'm going to get me some. Oh yes, I'm here for the party."
The song had made her think about the last time she had had sex. Months? It had been months. She knew why. She worked all the time. Dating coworkers was forbidden by Gibbs and when did she have time to meet anyone outside of work? And if a man did evidence interest in her at work Tony was always right there to somehow spoil it. She had thought it was jealousy at first but now she'd come to believe it was just some form of over protective big brother act like McGee had with his sister, Sarah. Ziva was also naturally reticent about letting strangers inside her personal space. But the biggest reason, the dumbest reason, the real reason truly making her crazy was her infatuation with Tony, her partner, who had exhibited no interest in her as a woman for such a long time.
She saw as well as felt her eyes brim with tears as she looked at her reflection. She reached up and gave herself a hard slap to the back of the head, a la Gibbs. What had he said, a slap to the back of the head was a wake-up call? Well, she certainly needed a wake-up call. She had to get on with her life. Tony was obviously not interested now, if he ever really had been.
She was a young healthy woman who had physical needs. Lately she had not been sleeping well. She would fall asleep normally but wake up a few hours later body aching with unsatisfied sexual hunger as she had still another erotic dream involving Tony. Then she would masturbate, take a cold shower or get up and run even if it was the middle of the night. Some nights the images were so intensely exciting and disturbing she had to do all three.
Tonight she was going to do something different, though. Tonight she was going to have a little fun and get her some. Ziva David was determined to have sex tonight and God help whoever got in her way. She put the lipstick on and smiled at herself in the mirror then ran her tongue over her lips. Yes, she would be the hunter tonight. Let the prey beware.
She heard a knock at her door.

Johnny Mock's Auto Body Shop opened in 1952 by John Mock Sr. The original shop, located on Lime Street in Turtle Creek across from the playground, was known as Johnny Mock's Auto Beauty Center. In 1958 John Mock Sr. decided to move the location to Church Street also located in Turtle Creek. John Mock Jr. took over the Church Street location in 1976 after the retirement of John Mock Sr. The business grew steadily and eventually in 1981 relocated to 1271 Lower Rodi Road in Wilkins Township. An expansion of the business occurred in 1990 when the adjacent building was acquired and is now included in the present day location of Johnny Mock's Auto Body Shop. Over time more family members joined the team. Johnny's wife Carol became office manager in 1985 and son Jason is working as office controller and learning all aspects of the business.

Bridesmaid dresses-With or without sleeves?
You want bridesmaids present at your wedding? Then you carry their outfits look as a major responsibility. So in the first place they are judged as look through your eyes, through your sense of matching styles and creating a commensurate view for your wedding type. What do you have in view in this way? Not only to render evident the bridesmaids beauty and count on this as their impressive charm, but as well to come up with resemblance dresses for your wedding decor, for your wedding style as planned from the very beginning.
The minute of decision, about how the dresses to look like, comes with a multitude of questions and wavering: to be short or long, what colors to choose, to have straps or not, bridesmaid dresses with sleeves or without? Only considering your event type and location can give you some of the answers. And what that will be? Bridesmaid dresses with sleeves? Yes, a good choice for a certain situation.
Choosing added sleeves to your bridesmaid dresses can come as a need first. For a wedding that is dated to be in a period with not too high temperatures, for a wedding in spring, autumn or winter the outfits need to be adapted. So, considering that it is colder outside your maids of honors cannot be dressed in backless short dresses.
In what other situation bridesmaid dresses with sleeves is the right way? You should consider the overall pattern of the dresses and think that the wedding involves a religious ceremony. If for the bride many things are flexible not the same thing happens for the rest of the wedding attendants. When entering in the church it is required, like in general situations, to be dressed properly for this sacred place. So, your bridesmaids have to come in sight first through decent outfits. One of the choices? The dresses with sleeves. A least it will cover the shoulders and arms parts and, no matter the cut of the dress, it all will gain a much more balanced in modesty view.
And not convinced yet whether bridesmaid dresses with sleeves are your pick assortment in the detriment of those without sleeves? Then consider as well your bridesmaids needs on regards of the outfit being the reliable part for them to create a balanced view in proportions.
In this way they may need either to cover the shoulders for the deep cut at the cleavage they have and so keep the balance for a not too grating look created, either to have sleeves as to balance the view with the wide hips part.
A need because of the personal choice, a need because it is an imposed aspect by the circumstances, the bridesmaid dresses with sleeves are not the definition of a modest look, with no lost glamorous side.

This could be the day when Minnesota lawmakers decide the fate of a new Vikings stadium.
It also could be decision time for fixing the crumbling Capitol and dozens of other public facilities across the state. In addition, millions of dollars of job-creating tax incentives are on the line.
Then again, maybe not today.
For months, leaders of the Republican-controlled House and Senate had said Monday, April 30, was the deadline for the legislative session.
But as crunch time approached on Saturday, House Speaker Kurt Zellers said he was willing to let the session drag on an "extra day" if that's what it takes to resolve the remaining big issues.
Those issues are the $1 billion stadium, a Republican tax-cut package and a public works financing bill.
Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton and GOP legislative leaders have not agreed on the size or contents of the tax and construction bills.
If there's a sense of urgency to reach agreement, it wasn't apparent Sunday. The governor and top lawmakers did not meet or exchange any offers on the outstanding issues. A Dayton spokeswoman said they tentatively plan to meet on Monday.
House and Senate floor sessions are scheduled to start at noon. Under the legal definition of a "legislative day," they could meet until 6:59 a.m. Tuesday and still meet the leaders' end-of-April goal.
But if they pass any bills on Monday, they could not wrap up their work until Tuesday. The state constitution bars lawmakers from passing bills on the day they adjourn for the biennium.
Late last week, Dayton and DFL legislative leaders were pushing Republicans for a quick up-or-down vote on the stadium. The governor said it should rise or fall on its own merits.
But Zellers said the tax-cut and infrastructure bills were higher priorities for Republicans, suggesting that he might not bring the stadium measure up for a vote until the other issues were resolved.
When it became apparent Saturday night that Dayton and GOP leaders had failed to negotiate a tax package, an all-Republican House-Senate conference committee assembled one of their own.
It would freeze state-levied property taxes on businesses for one year, provide an upfront sales tax exemption for capital equipment purchases by small business, enrich the state's "angel tax credit" for investments in startup companies and provide tax credits to employers who hire veterans.
Dayton has said he's willing to accept some tax cuts if Republicans agree to fund more of the state construction projects he wants. But he also said he won't sign a tax bill that would increase the state's projected $1.1 billion deficit in the next two-year budget cycle. So if the GOP majority passes their package, as expected, he's likely to veto it.
Dayton wants to borrow $775 million by selling bonds for public works projects. Republicans prefer to hold the construction price tag to just under $500 million. Their plan would make a down payment on the estimated $200 million-plus cost of restoring the Capitol.
But it takes a three-fifths "super majority" of votes in the two houses to pass a bonding bill, so the GOP majority needs DFL support. So far, they don't have it. DFL lawmakers complain they have been shut out of bill-drafting process.
No one knows how it will all turn out. As leaders in both parties are fond of saying, the situation is fluid.

Pink grapefruit gin liqueur from Manchester's Original artisan micro-distillery, Zymurgorium. A bitter-sweet treat for those that love refreshing tastes.
Grapefruit is one of the World's most Refreshing Fruits and its bittersweet taste is matched only by its beautiful salmon pink hue. Deliciously fragrant with a taste to match, this citrus gin is bursting with flavour and is a fantastic addition to tonic, prosecco or breakfast cocktails by adding fruitiness and an aroma depth.
Made using gin made from British juniper and over 20 other botanicals.
The Zymurgorium is a Meadery, Brewery & Distillery but is so much more than just that…
The Zymurgorium name comes from an amalgamation of the word Zymurgy and also Emporium; Zymurgy is the study of scientific brewing and an emporium is a shop that sells various items and trinkets so it stands to reason that this "Zymurgorium†sells various brews (among other things…)
Inspired by a love of love of culture, variation and science, a fascination and love of all things natural, and a natural talent for brewing, back in 2012 founder Aaron Darke embarked on his first entrepreneurial adventure and made Darke Crafts which quickly turned into the Zymurgorium in 2013.
The Zymurgorium aims to give its patrons only the best of brewing experiences and taste bud adventure and diversity. With a background in Mead production and now with old and new techniques in the sacred art of distillation, an abundance of ingredients and an almost endless supply of distilling styles, the distillery goes from strength to strength.
The Zymurgorium is proud to be Manchester's first distillery. The Manchester Gins range first arose in January 2015 which have grown in number and quality ever since, following the expansion of the distillery and the uncompromising in quality matched with multiple distilling and infusing technologies.

Democrat: The worst parts of Obamacare are still coming… [FULL AUDIO] » The Right Scoop –.
Finally we appear to have a Democrat who is willing to be honest about the entire clusterfark this thing has become and the political motivations behind all of the delays and waivers. I wonder how much time elapsed following this interview before he got taken to the woodshed by the rest of the caucus. The taxing of "Cadillac plans" is especially maddening.

FORTUNE — There are some in the tech media who think covering enterprise technology is a major snoozefest. But it can actually be incredibly entertaining — especially when Oracle (ORCL) CEO Larry Ellison goes off on a tirade against his competitors.
Redwood City, Calif.-based Oracle announced its third-quarter earnings Tuesday afternoon, beating analysts' expectations and sending its stock up in after-hours trading. After falling short last quarter, the company impressed the Street with strong quarterly sales of new software, up 7% from a year earlier.
But between talk about increased software sales, the company's new cloud service, and its Fusion applications, Ellison and his posse (including co-presidents Mark Hurd and Safra Catz) took plenty of time to bash their rivals.
MORE: Why Workday has Oracle and SAP worried
Ellison has previously referred to Marc Benioff's Salesforce.com (CRM) as the "roach motel" of cloud services, but he went relatively easy on the smaller company this time around. He did claim Salesforce.com's products weren't as "secure" as Oracle's new suite of cloud-based software. He also took a few jabs at Workday, another cloud-based software maker that has been nipping at Oracle's heels, saying the company's biggest mistake was not relying on an Oracle database (Workday would not comment on Ellison's statements).
"I think it's a fundamental mistake and it's going to create all sorts of problems for them down the road," Ellison said during the company's earnings call on Tuesday. "They're going to have to build out that tool set themselves rather than relying on us like Salesforce does, rather than relying on us like NetSuite does, rather than relying on us like SuccessFactors does, as SAP does. They all rely on us. But Workday, they're going to rely on themselves."
By far, Ellison devoted the most time to bashing SAP (SAP), the number one player in the business applications market. Ellison knocked the German software maker's attempts in the cloud and its recently-launched analytics appliance HANA, which is expected to eventually compete with Oracle's database technology.
"Six years ago, we made the decision to rewrite our ERP and CRM suite for the cloud," said Ellison. "We called it Fusion. SAP called it Confusion."
MORE: Salesforce gets into HR
When asked about the possible threat from SAP's HANA, Ellison gave analysts an earful: "Now when SAP, and specifically Hasso Plattner [SAP's co-founder), said they're going to build this in-memory database system and compete with Oracle, I said, 'duh, get me the name of that pharmacist, they must be on drugs.' And that was interpreted by Hasso as saying Larry Ellison doesn't believe in in-memory database. Quite the contrary, we've been working on in-memory databases for the last 10 years."
Ellison added that SAP will never even begin to compete with Oracle's database business, and co-president Hurd also chimed in, saying he has yet to find any HANA customers that are defecting from Oracle (SAP says it has sold HANA to companies like Procter & Gamble, Adobe, Lenovo and Cisco Systems).
HANA may be far from being a real threat to Oracle's dominance in the database business, but SAP's new analytics appliance, which stores data in memory rather than on traditional disks, is off to a promising start (a recent Deutsche Bank report jokingly referred to HANA as "Having A Natural Advantage"; the acronym really stands for High-Performance Analytic Appliance).
As for the cloud, both SAP and Oracle have yet to prove they have what it takes to make the shift to developing and selling software-as-a-service, despite a number of hefty cloud acquisitions under their belts. And Oracle has an added challenge of proving it can revive a slumping hardware business.
MORE: The marriage plot: Single CEOs make for riskier investments
One company that didn't make Ellison's public hit list — a Las Vegas-based startup called Rimini Street. The small but growing company says it offers a 50% discount on support contracts for Oracle products. Third-party maintenance providers like Rimini Street could end up eating into Oracle's (and SAP's) highly lucrative support business. Oracle has sued Rimini Street for IP infringement, and the smaller company responded with a countersuit. The two are expected to battle it out in court in early 2013. And you know what that means — plenty more juicy enterprise tech fodder for months to come.

We asked lots of snorkelers for great snorkeler gift ideas, and got some thoughtful suggestions. We share those below with some of our own ideas. Hopefully you will find a great gift for that special snorkeling nut in your life.
First, consider splurging on the ultimate gift for the snorkeler in your life, a surprise trip on one of these great guided snorkeling vacations...
The #1 gift that snorkelers said they wanted was a new underwater camera. Recently the camera that most snorkelers want is a GoPro. They are small, and the new Hero7 Black is a good option. It takes great pictures and amazing video.
But if the person you are buying a gift for has an iPhone, you could get them a ProShot underwater housing to put it in. They can take it snorkeling and get great photos and videos of the fish and creatures they see.
We have lots of suggestions and buying tips for snorkel cameras here.
While it might be kind of hard to buy a new mask or fins for your favorite snorkeler (because those generally need to be fit personally), there are lots of items you could get them that will come in handy on a snorkel adventure. These are all snorkeler gift ideas that people said they would like.
Our complete guide to snorkel gear can be found here.
Before and after snorkeling, these products make things easier and more fun.
Most people have to travel to snorkel, so these gadgets will come in handy.
Pretty soon everyone is going to need a new calendar or two, and we always try to get some tropical or snorkeling themed calendar for our wall. It is very nice gift for a snorkeler. Below are just a few we found that we would love to get ourselves.
Us snorkelers do what we do because we love to check out sea life. So it is pretty natural for a snorkeler to want to learn more about the underwater world. So fish identification guides make great snorkeling gifts.
A fantastic gift for a snorkeler that they may not be willing to buy for themselves (because they are kind of expensive) is the Reef Set: Reef Fish, Reef Creature and Reef Coral guides. It is a three volume set that is really the bible for Caribbean sea life identification (we own them and they are great). You can also get them in eBook format.
Or you could just get them the Reef Fish Identification by itself for the Caribbean, Florida & Bahamas. It also comes in eBook format.
If your snorkeler also loves the Pacific, then round out their collection with Reef Fish Identification - Tropical Pacific. You could buy it as an eBook as well.
Or if they mostly snorkel Hawaii, then Hawaii's Fishes is a nice book.
Nothing gets us snorkelers as excited as planning the next trip to some tropical destination. So travel guides to wonderful snorkeling spots are fantastic snorkeler gift ideas. Below we have suggested guides to some of the better snorkeling destinations in the world.
Our own popular eBook snorkeling guides are also available on the upper right.
Our own popular eBook snorkeling guides are also available in the right navigation bar below.
Having all your books on a portable electronic device while traveling is great, and more and more travelers are going this route. So these are amazing snorkeler gift ideas for travelers. The basic Kindle is a great device. Nicole owns one and loves it. But the more advanced color tablets like the Fire and iPads are much more capable machines that you can check email on, browse websites, etc. We prefer the 7" size over the bigger iPads for traveling.
