There isn't any reset buttons. The only thing I can think of is that the float for wet vacuuming is somehow being sucked up causing the the motor to be tripped off.

4041
It was a usual night in the Gurapur village, as the flame from the night lamp was subtly flickering in one corner of the room. It has was hot and humid. There was no electricity in the entire village. Tamanna was sitting on the floor near the oven, fanning herself with an old newspaper. Her body was glistening with sweat. She was waiting for her husband, who would soon return after a strenuous day at the farm.
Life was no less than a tyranny for the 24-year-old Tamanna. Her husband Kanhaiya was a 28 years old drunkard who was otherwise a hardworking farmer. They were married to each other exactly one year back and they had already lost the romance between them, thanks to the cruel village life. Every morning Kanhaiya would get up as soon as the sun would rise and go to his farm which was a mile's walk away. He would then return only at night after having a routine drinking session with his friends. Tamanna would handle the household every day without a spur of complaint.
Tamanna was a dark-skinned, busty woman with full grown womanhood. A lot of women envied her features. She had curvy round hips which were enough to seduce even the men of high morals. Her huge rounded breasts with dark erect nipples always appeared to be teasing through the thin blouse that she wore most of the time. All in all, her slutty figure was enough to get a manhood hard. But all this did not seem to have any noticeable effect on her own husband. Her husband somehow always found alcohol more luring than Tamanna. And it was very reasonable that even after a year of marriage they both have not yet been intimate.
Tamanna was suddenly shaken up from her thoughts as Kanhaiya came rocking through the wooden gate and fell down on the bed. He was drunk as usual and was out of his senses. He murmured something in his inebriated state and passed out. He would now only open his eyes the next morning.
She got up, put a latch on the door and went to the bed. She removed her blouse, kept it on the stool and readied herself to sleep. It was normal to sleep without undergarments in such hot weather without any fan working overhead. She was again lost in her thoughts as she silently laid beside her drunk husband. It was almost months since they last had sex. And even then it was her husband who orgasmed. All of their sex sessions had been like this. Her husband used to dominate her and after stroking her wildly for a couple of minutes he would ejaculate and would sleep off. Tamanna would then have to finger herself to an orgasm to satisfy herself.
The wives were never allowed to express their sexuality. And the husband would only make love to them when he felt horny. But what about the nights when the wives were horny? But instead of complaining, she had now started to accept this. Almost every woman in the village had the same story to tell. But tonight was one such night. Tamanna was horny since this evening. She waited for her husband to come all day but he came home drunk.
A knock on the door suddenly shook her from her thoughts again as she got up hurriedly. She covered her upper body with the saree she was wearing and walked towards the door and opened it.
A boy was standing with a bag on the back. "Maaf kijiyega! Itni raat ko disturb kiya, par actually mai yaha ghumne aya tha, aur ab raat kaafi ho gayi hai aur shahar bhi kaafi dur hai. Kya mai yaha ruk sakta hu? Kal subah hote hi mai nikal jaunga." he spoke innocently.
"Thik hai sahab! Niche bedsheet bicha k so jao. Koi dikkat nahi hai." Tamanna spoke smilingly as she let the stranger in.
"Thank you! Mera naam Aditya……." his was speechless as Tamanna returned with the lamp. The subtle light from the flames of the lamp revealed her huge breast. Although it was covered with the saree, her nipples stared out even in the dark. Aditya's eyes got transfixed to the nipples. Tamanna looked at the stranger's eyes and then followed towards her breasts. She smiled and continued, " and aa jao!" and blushed noticeably. Aditya felt embarrassed as Tamanna smiled. As Tamanna turned around to guide him inside, Aditya stared at her busty hips. He had always fantasised such slutty women. he didn't know Indian villages had such wild treasures.
He kept down his bag and spread out his bedsheet on the floor. "T-shirt utar lo, garmi bohot hai!" Tamanna spoke. Aditya removed his t-shirt and threw it on the nearby stool. The gentle darkness revealed his sturdy body which had now begun to form pearls of sweat on it. "Aap bohot khoobsurat ho!" Aditya told her, looking straight at her eyes. Tamanna returned with a blushing smile. It was the first time in her life, that she had received such a compliment.
As Aditya readied to lay down, Tamanna walked past him and in the darkness they collided. The huge breasts brushed against the sturdy sweaty body of Aditya. They both looked at each other and blushed. It was one of those nights when Tamanna was extremely horny and never in her life had she felt this extreme an urge to express it so wildly. The saree fell down from her shoulder, exposing the bare breasts with dark nipples. It glistened with sweat against the flickering flame. Aditya stood there and watched agape. Tamanna did not try to cover herself up. She wanted to enjoy tonight. She wanted to satisfy herself tonight. She wanted to be the slut she had always dreamt of being.
Aditya moved closer as Tamanna looked aside in shyness. He moved his lips closer. Tamanna began to feel the heavy breathing of Aditya. She did not react. She was numb. The very fact that her drunk husband was lying in the next room while a stranger was trying to steal a kiss turned her on. Aditya had her boner and it was quietly visible through the boxers he was wearing. Tamanna suddenly gripped him and pulled him closer and kissed him hard. The salivas exchanged and so did the sweat on their lips.
It was salty and Aditya had his biggest bulge on the boxers tonight. He forced her down as they both laid down on the bedsheet. Tamanna gently removed her saree over the waist and kept it on the side stool. She was sweaty and their bodies slid against each other. Aditya just wanted to forget all stigmas and enjoy this night of wildness. He licked Tamanna's upper body. He wanted to taste the serenity of the woman. He licked all her sweat while Tamanna moaned in anticipation. Tamanna raised her upper arm and pushed her arm-pit forward. It was dark and hairy. The hair in the armpits made it all sexier. Aditya licked it wildly. The kinky smell of the sweat turned him on and on. He slid his hands inside the petticoat and felt the thick bushy haired pussy.
He had fucked a lot of girls. Almost every one was clean shaved or at least neatly trimmed. But this was something different. Tamanna was a dirty slut. She was an ordinary housewife. She had bushes of thick black hair on her vaginal walls which made it more attractive! Aditya removed his boxers and forced his erect penis inside Tamanna, laying on top of her. And it was the first time, Tamanna felt a manhood exploiting her so wildly and yet caringly. Aditya thrust his dick inside feeling the moist warmth of Tamanna's womanly pussy. It was loose, quite evident of the fact that her husband had always been harsh on her. He rubbed himself against her slippery sweaty body while Tamanna laid back quietly. She was enjoying the night of her life. She had surrendered herself to Aditya's manhood.
She wanted him to dominate tonight while she enjoyed the rare luxury. She moaned wildly as she was relaxed about her husband being completely out of senses to find anything out. Aditya sucked the huge breasts and the taste was completely different from the regular teens he slept with. It had a tinge of sweatiness and an erotic saltiness to it. It felt great. he sucked for almost ten minutes while Tamanna moaned loudly. Aditya again continued fucking Tamanna hard. He jumped on top of her and watched her womanly face shake in ecstasy.
And finally after almost thirty minutes of good fucking, Tamanna orgasmed. She had the most powerful orgasm ever. She cried out like a mad woman. Tears rolled down through the side of her eyes as she craved for more. Aditya got down and turned Tamanna over him and began another fuck session. Tamanna, for the first time in her life, dominated a man. She sat on him. The penis was still inside her wet pussy. She now began humping like a horse-rider. She humped on Aditya wildly and it was only a matter of ten minutes when she orgasmed again. Never had she had multiple orgasms! She was exhausted and completely spent by now.
Aditya quickly pulled out his erect rod from inside Tamanna and forced it into her mouth. And there she was! Complete piece of magic! The thick paste of saliva on his dick felt like heaven as Tamanna sucked it like a whore. She gently bit it at the bottom and pressed it hard against her throat. And finally, Aditya came! He exploded with an insane amount of semen. The thick load of semen poured gently inside Tamanna's mouth as she obediently drank it. She had never tasted semen before. It was salty. It was sour. It was smelly. It was thick. It was dirty. And it was warm. She was satisfied now. She was completely spent.
They both laid for an hour, naked and on each other's arms. They didn't speak to each other. Aditya caressed her hair and Tamanna gently stroked his penis which had now become small after working so hard.
At 4′ o clock, Tamanna and Aditya got up. In an hour the sun would be up and her husband would go to work. She got up and looked at Aditya smilingly and wore the petticoat, the blouse, and the saree. Aditya dressed up too and began to pack his bag. He would leave in a couple of minutes.
It was a night, Tamanna will never forget. She loved her husband. She did not want to cheat on him. Neither did she want to have sex with s stranger again. But tonight she needed it more than anything. She enjoyed the night and wanted to carry it with her for the rest of her life. They promised to never meet again as Aditya walked away.
Tamanna cleaned the semen stains from the floor and tied her hair. And then she slept beside her husband holding him tight. She wanted to be a slut for one night. And she was one hell of a SLUT!

History shaped school identities
The Colonials. The Commodores. The Falcons. The Mustangs. The Red Raiders. The Scotties. The Vikings.
To residents of rural Fayette and Westmoreland counties, the names evoke pride in one's high school alma mater.
They are mascots that currently represent Fayette County's six public high schools, as well as those in the Southmoreland and Mt. Pleasant Area school districts in Westmoreland County.
To many parents, students and administrators currently served by these schools, those mascots might simply be names associated with sports teams. To others, they epitomize pride, recognition and accomplishment.
Whatever the case, area historians, former administrators and past teachers claim that bitter rivalries and bittersweet compromise often accompanied the establishment of the current local high school mascots.
During football season, it's hard to miss the blue-and-white pride shown by Falcons fans in Connellsville. Former principal Jerry Zavatsky pointed out, however, that the school's 40-year-old mascot has rather peculiar roots.
Prior to 1966, Zavatsky said, what is now known as the Connellsville Area School District was served by two high schools -- Connellsville Township and Dunbar Township -- each with its own mascot.
Representing the former Connellsville Township High School were the Cokers, a name Zavatsky said might have been related to Southwestern Pennsylvania's history in the coal mining industry. For reasons he was unable to specify, Dunbar Township students were represented by the Mules.
Before the merger of these two schools in 1966, Zavatsky said an intense rivalry existed between them, which created a hostile environment when the jointure was made official.
"Students who once played each other on the football field now had classes together," he said.
After the merger, students, teachers and administrators were given several suggestions from which a new mascot was chosen. After votes were counted and a decision was finalized by the newly formed district, the Cokers of Connellsville and the Mules of Dunbar became the Falcons, a decision Zavatsky said did not sit well with supporters on either side.
"Both sides were upset because they each lost their identity," he said.
In addition to losing their mascots, Zavatsky said, students from Connellsville and Dunbar also were forced to accept new school colors. The red and black that represented Dunbar and the orange and black that represented Connellsville Township were replaced by blue and white during the survey that ultimately established the school district's current identity.
Although Zavatsky could not pinpoint a particular reason behind the significance of the falcon or the school's new colors, he speculated that the late Stan McLaughlin might have influenced the district's decision. McLaughlin was a football coach at Dunbar prior to the merger, and he became the athletic director of the district shortly afterward, Zavatsky said.
McLaughlin had served in the armed forces as an Air Force pilot. The Air Force Academy's official mascot is a falcon and its colors are blue and white -- a similarity, Zavatsky added, that is most likely not coincidental.
"I could be way out in left field (about this), but I don't think so," he said.
Jointures similar to the one that created the Connellsville Area School District were not uncommon during the 1960s and 1970s. Zavatsky said the mergers were declared necessary by lawmakers in Harrisburg, who claimed they would save the taxpayers money. In fact, former district officials from five of Fayette County's schools claim their districts resulted from mergers of schools in neighboring communities.
Uniontown Area High School's mascot, however, survived the educational mega-mergers of the 1960s.
Retired broadcast journalist and Uniontown historian Al Owens, who has spent countless hours researching the history of Uniontown Area High School, said the school's mascot, the Red Raiders, has represented the district for many decades.
After retiring from a 30-year-long career in broadcast journalism, Owens said he began researching the area's history, and in the process became infatuated with the athletic history of Uniontown Area High School.
"It started to be one of those things I did in my spare time, but I started to get feverish," he said. One of the missions of his research was to discover when the school began using the mascot, which Owens has not yet verified.
"I sort of boiled it down to the mid-1930s, because that's when the name first appeared in the student-published newspaper," Owens said.
Although Owens could not specifically pinpoint the mascot's origin, an article on his Web site, redraidernation.com, stated the name may have come from a tribe of American Indians who settled in the hills above what is now Uniontown. According to the article, a tribe of Delaware Indians led by Chief Nemacolin was driven out of its homeland by German and Scottish settlers who began settling the land. In retaliation, Chief Nemacolin ordered his tribesmen to raid the villages to secure food for the tribe.
According to Owens' article, novelist Conrad Richter referred to the American Indians as "red raiders," and was therefore credited with being the person to coin the phrase.
Owens also noted that prior to the modern rivalry between Laurel Highlands and Uniontown, Connellsville and Uniontown were bitter rivals. The Laurel Highlands-Uniontown rivalry, he added, was partially inspired by the countywide jointures.
Brownsville Area School District was another Fayette County school system that was formed from educational consolidation.
Brownsville historian Glenn Tunney said the John A. Brashear Brownies and the Redstone Blackhawks, who were bitter rivals prior to merging, joined forces to become the Brownsville Falcons in 1967. Consequently, Tunney noted, hostility between the rivals-turned-teammates flourished for months after the jointure.
"Students from Redstone and Brownsville separated themselves right within the school," Tunney said. "At basketball games, they even sat at opposite sides of the gym."
Al Trush, athletic director of the newly formed district, met with the principal and superintendent to decide on a name for the school.
"They didn't want the name to favor one way or the other," he said. The falcon was chosen as a representative symbol because it most closely resembled the Blackhawks of Redstone.
At the meeting where the mascot reportedly was chosen, Trush noted that in choosing the Falcons, the district would be duplicating Connellsville's mascot. The district decided to use the mascot regardless, he said.
Tunney also noted that the rivalries that existed between Redstone and Brownsville began to subside after the initial year of jointure, and were virtually nonexistent by the following baseball season.
Another merger, between North Union and South Union township school systems, resulted in the formation of the Laurel Highlands School District. James Tobal, Laurel Highlands School Board member, said the North Union Rams and the South Union Blue Devils merged to create the Laurel Highlands Mustangs.
Tobal said he believes several cultural influences of the time period, such as the first Ford Mustang and the P-51 fighter plane (which was called the Mustang) used in World War II contributed to the selection of the mascot.
"To go from a Ram and a Blue Devil is something special," Tobal said.
He also said some of the students responsible for selecting the mascot indicated the mustang's patriotic symbolism of the free and independent spirit of the American West as a reason for their decision, which also is reflected by the school's red, white and blue colors.
Sometime during Fayette County's school district jointure frenzy, another fierce rivalry was taking place.
Vivian Kovach, a 1971 graduate of Fairchance-Georges High School, said rivalries among the Fairchance-Georges Runners, the Albert Gallatin Colonials and the German Township High School Uhlans were brewing when the three school systems merged to form the Albert Gallatin Area School District.
Wayne Brewers, a social studies teacher who worked for the district both before and after the jointure, was unable to explain why the district maintained its identity as the Colonials. Although the three school systems merged sometime between 1971 and 1976, he said, Fairchance-Georges and German Township high schools retained their individual identities until the mid-1980s, when the F-G building became the current Albert Gallatin High School.
While divisive rivalries seemed to dominate other area mergers, the Frazier School District somehow managed to keep its original identity intact when a jointure between Perry Township and Lower Tyrone Township formed the Mary Fuller Frazier Memorial High School in Perryopolis.
John Martinak, who serves on the Perryopolis Area Heritage Society, said the historic town derives its name from Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, of Lake Erie fame. Perry also is credited with inspiring the school district's mascot, Martinak said.
Prior to 1960, Martinak said Frazier was known as Perry Township High School, and its mascot was the Commodore. Since the school was renamed after Mary Fuller-Frazier in 1960, the district has retained its original identity as the Frazier Commodores.
The jointure of Hearst and Ramsey high schools resulted in the formation of the Mt. Pleasant Area High School during the consolidation era of the 1960s.
Athletic director Ron Firment said a contest among students shortly after the merger of the two high schools resulted in the establishment of the Vikings as the district's official mascot sometime during the 1960s. Firment has been Mt. Pleasant's athletic director since 1971, and said the school's mascot has been the Vikings for as long as he can remember.
"We've been the Vikings forever here," Firment said.
Like the Laurel Highlands School District, Firment said the jointure of the two high schools resulted in a color combination of red, white and blue.
"I honestly think the mascot and the colors were chosen to avoid favoritism and one-sidedness," Firment said.
Prior to the jointure, Firment said, Hearst's mascot was the Hurricanes and the Bobcats represented Ramsey.
"With colors, sometimes you get lucky, but mascots aren't so easy," he added.
An even exchange between the former Scottdale and East Huntingdon high schools resulted in a compromise that ultimately formed the Southmoreland School District in 1964.
Athletic director Dennis Zieger said that prior to the jointure, East Huntingdon's mascot was the Bulldogs and Scottdale was represented by the Scotties.
As a result of the jointure, East Huntingdon agreed to accept Scottdale's mascot in exchange for the retention of its original school colors, red and black.

Modest as ever, Mike Gardener "surprised" by Order of Nunavut honour
"I've never been a one-man show"
Retired Iqaluit Anglican minister Mike Gardener says he's "surprised and amazed" to be named one of the first three recipients of the Order of Nunavut.
"I wouldn't think of it in a million years," he said.
Gardener, who has called the Eastern Arctic his home for more than 50 years, is well-known throughout Nunavut and northern Canada for his work as a minister, counsellor and community activist.
A 2007 recipient of the Order of Canada in 2007, Gardener says he "hasn't a clue" who nominated him for Nunavut's highest honour, but he wants to thank whoever did.
Ed Picco doesn't know either, but he is certain that Gardener "exemplifies the kind of person who continues to give."
A long time parishioner of St. Jude's, the two men first met in the 1980s, when Gardener was a marriage counsellor to Picco and his then-fiancée.
Through his counselling, Gardener has reached out to Nunavummiut across the North – regardless of their beliefs, Picco said.
"He has always risen about the call of duty," Picco said. "He's been retired for 15 years, but he's still putting in a full day. And his help has been non-denominational — that makes him unique."
But Picco says Gardener would not be able to do all the work he's done without the help of a strong partner.
Gardener agrees; as far as he is concerned, his award will have to be split in two, with the other half going to his wife, Margaret Gardener.
Mike and Margaret, known locally as "M. and M.", first came to the Arctic as missionaries from their home outside of London, England in 1955.
Because they were an engaged couple — and not yet married — they weren't permitted to go to the same community together.
So Mike went to Kimmirut and Margaret to Pangnirtung.
Some time later the couple travelled to Iqaluit — Mike arriving three days late by Peterhead boat — where they were married aboard the C.D. Howe.
The newly-weds returned to Kimmirut together, then known as Lake Harbour, where they spent five years.
"We were initiated into the North very early and we really grew to like it," Gardener said.
In the late 1950s, Kimmirut was home to a scattering of buildings; the Anglican mission, a police and nursing station and the Hudson Bay trading post, which drew Inuit throughout the year.
The Gardeners hosted many of those visiting Inuit, while Gardener did long dog-sled trips out on the land to visit camps.
The Inuit encouraged Gardener to learn Inuktitut.
"I was asked to preach in Inuktitut the first weekend I arrived," he said. "I did it by copying Bible verses out, not really knowing what I was saying."
But parishioners were impressed.
In 1961, Mike and Margaret moved to Cape Dorset — then as a family of four, with two young daughters.
There, Gardener trained church catechists and he and his wife taught day school.
The couple also played a role helping northern service officers establish government services in the growing community.
By 1970, the Gardeners counted three daughters and a foster child when they were relocated to Pangnirtung, where Mike ran a clergy training school.
The family, particularly Margaret, grew attached to the community.
But the 1970s saw the construction of the iconic Anglican cathedral in Iqaluit, and with it, a congregation that swelled into the hundreds.
On the request of many of those parishioners, the Gardeners relocated in 1981 to Iqaluit, which they've called home ever since.
"There was a good spirit about the place," Gardener said of Iqaluit. "We always made quite sure that any new people to the community were comfortable. We followed up on them and did home visits."
Gardener gave a mass on Sundays in Inuktitut, which drew about 300 people, while his English-language mass drew another 100 or so.
The Gardeners helped to run the church's Sunday school, a youth program and did a lot of community counselling, an invaluable service that could be the couple's biggest legacy.
Over the years, Mike and Margaret Gardener have welcomed hundreds of Nunavummiut into their home – some to share their joy, but many to share their pain.
The couple were never strangers to local police and hospital staff, who call the house when there has been an accident or a death.
The Gardeners have helped many Nunavummiut struggling with suicidal tendencies, and others who struggle with substance abuse.
Gardener remembers one distraught man showing up at the house with a loaded gun.
The couple welcomed him in, Margaret made them all a cup of tea and managed to soothe the man's worries.
But Gardener calls all the work he's accomplished in the Eastern Arctic "a combined effort."
"I've never been a one-man show," he said. "That's what helped us so much."
"Now that we're retired, we still want to help, but at a slower pace," he added. "We're thankful for the people who do help now."
Gardener will be invested into the Order of Nunavut at a fall 2011 ceremony, alongside the families of his fellow Order of Nunavut recipients Mark Kalluak and Jose Kusugak, both who passed away earlier this year.

Mark, here you fall exactly into the trap of the wrong protocol. You send PREFERENCES instead of POLICY in your example ;) You don't go to the supermarket to impose your conditions. You accept their conditions. In data protection, you need the ENTITY element to be able to get to your rights as you can't force your rights against anonymous. In a web-service scenario, this is tricky as the WS interacting can be a privacy client in one second and a data controller in the next second. Imagine WS1 discovering WS2. WS1 is requesting something to WS2 and finds the P3P Policy in the WSDL. The PP is good and WS1 makes its request. If there is need for feedback and WS2 makes a request to WS1, WS2 would have to check the P3P Policy of WS1 first. (Note that this only applies if _personal_ data is involved, means some end-user or request on behalf of an end-user) Sending Policies forward and saying SOAP "must understand" can't be solved with P3P, it needs EPAL.

WASHINGTON — The only American soldier held prisoner in Afghanistan has been freed by the Taliban in exchange for the release of five Afghan detainees from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Obama administration officials said Saturday.
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was handed over to U.S. special operations forces by the Taliban Saturday evening, local time, in an area of eastern Afghanistan, near the Pakistani border. Officials said the exchange went as planned and the 28-year-old Bergdahl was in good condition and able to walk.
"While Bowe was gone, he was never forgotten," President Barack Obama said in a statement from the White House Rose Garden, where he was joined by Bergdahl's parents. "The United States of America does not ever leave our men and women in uniform behind."
Bergdahl's handover followed indirect negotiations between the U.S. and the Taliban, with the government of Qatar serving as the go-between. Qatar is taking custody of the five Afghan detainees who were held at Guantanamo.
Several dozen U.S. special operations forces, backed by multiple helicopters and surveillance aircraft, flew into Afghanistan by helicopter and made the transfer with about 18 Taliban members. Officials said the commandos were on the ground for a short time before lifting off with Bergdahl.
According to a senior defense official, once Bergdahl climbed onto the noisy helicopter, he took a pen and wrote on a paper plate, "SF?" — asking the troops if they were special operations forces.
They shouted back at him over the roar of the rotors: "Yes, we've been looking for you for a long time."
Then, according to the official, Bergdahl broke down.
Bergdahl of Hailey, Idaho, is believed to have been held by the Haqqani network since June 30, 2009. Haqqani operates in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region and has been one of the deadliest threats to U.S. troops.
The network, which the State Department designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 2012, claims allegiance to the Afghan Taliban yet has a degree of autonomy.
Officials said Bergdahl initially was taken to Bagram Air Field, the main U.S. base in Afghanistan, for medical evaluations, and was being transferred to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, for additional care before he returns to the U.S.
The official said Bergdhal would go to the San Antonio Military Medical Center where he would be reunited with his family.
Bergdahl's parents, Bob and Jani, had been in Washington, D.C., on a previously scheduled visit when they received a call Saturday from Obama informing them that their son had been freed.
As they stood with Obama in the Rose Garden hours after their son's release, Bob Bergdahl, who grew a long beard to honor his son, said Bowe Bergdahl was having trouble speaking English after his rescue. The elder Bergdahl, who learned Pashto, the language spoken by his son's captors, and delivered a message in that language.
Switching to English, he said, "The complicated nature of this recovery will never really be comprehended."
There has been speculation Bergdahl willingly walked away from his unit, raising the issue of whether he could be charged with AWOL or desertion. Were Bergdahl to be charged with desertion, the maximum penalty he would face is five years in prison and a dishonorable discharge.
The five Guantanamo detainees left the base on a U.S. military aircraft Saturday afternoon. They are:
Abdul Haq Wasiq, who served as the Taliban deputy minister of intelligence;
Mullah Norullah Nori, a senior Taliban commander;
Khairullah Khairkhwa, held Taliban positions;
Mohammed Nabi, chief of security for the Taliban in Qalat, Afghanistan, and;
Mohammad Fazl, who Human Rights Watch says could be prosecuted for war crimes for presiding over the mass killing of Shiite Muslims in Afghanistan in 2000 and 2001 as the Taliban sought to consolidate their control.

Thank God that laser thing is the challenge and not the photoshoot. It's still a pretty ridiculous challenge, but if it were the photoshoot then it would ALMOST be as bad as Windtunnel Covergirls.
Don't kill me for thinking this, but I actually think forcing the girls to sashay their way through lasers for a diamond prize is ingenious.
yeah i think it's really funny lolOriginally Posted by quangtran;2282572;
They showed Brittney,Felicia and Jaslene going through the mazes.
Top 3 maybe?
As of yet there have been no real hints as to who the title of this episode is about. With the crying episode, no one really guessed Brittany because before then I don't think we'd even seen her cry. It looks like they're going to do the same with this episode.
Now that I've seen last episode, I really think that Brittany might be ANTM.
Frankly speaking, i don't want Renee to go.
i want to see more of her in the show.
but it seems like she's struggling a lot in the show.
And the preview focus on her.
Do you think she is the next one to go home?
I really hope Renee doesn't quit/get kicked off. She's so gorgeous and the show would be so boring without.

I've been holding off on showing my kids the photos of Allie's cakes, because I knew it would mean trouble for me. I thought they'd be really sad about having to miss the party (we're going to Florida soon, so we couldn't do a PA trip).
Once they saw the cakes (kind of by accident), they both got excited, and said they wanted cakes like that on their birthdays. I laughed, and told them that I don't think mommy is capable of all of that, but I'd make them nice cakes that are more simple. Leif shocked me, he just burst right out into the saddest-sounding cry. He was deeply hurt by this. I instantly felt sorry for him and blurted out, "It's OK, I will make these for you!!". What the hell? The eff? Oh lordy.

There are several stories given about Spartacus' fate during the Battle at the Silarus River in 71 BC.
From historical sources
During the Battle at the Silarus River against Marcus Licinius Crassus, the historical sources say that Spartacus came close to Crassus' position, and managed to kill two of his centurions. He was then wounded in the thigh and forced down onto one knee. He fought off many of the Romans that he could, and how or if he was killed in the battle remains unknown.
History sources give us several stories for Spartacus after the final battle
- He was killed, but some of the remaining rebels took his body from the battlefield
- His body was taken off the battlefield by Crassus' soldiers
- His body was so mutilated that it was unrecognisable, and so his body was never found
- He escaped from the battle with a group of his remaining rebels, and over the mountains
- He undistinguished himself from the other rebels and fell among them in battle. His body was then buried with the other dead rebels in pits dug by Crassus' men.
- He had suffered fatal injury in the final battle, but was taken with the remaining rebels to the nearby mountain ranges. Spartacus spoke his final words, and appointed Publipor the new leader, with no previous leaders still living. Too weakened to continue, Spartacus succumbed to his wounds and died. His body could not be cremated, as his position would be spotted by Crassus' troops nearby. His body was instead buried beneath cloak and the rubble that could be found.
In movie and television adaptations
1960 film
Spartacus is taken prisoner without the Romans knowing. As Spartacus and the other prisoners are taken along with Appian Way to be crucified, Crassus recognises one of his slaves named Antoninus (and Spartacus friend and general), Crassus orders his former slave and the rebel leader to be taken to Rome while the others are Crucified. Spartacus and Antoninus are forced to fight each other as gladiators, and the winner would be crucified. Spartacus killed Antoninus to spare him that pain and is then crucified. As his wife Varinia, and their newborn son leave Rome forever, she speaks her last words to him before being escorted from the city by Lentulus Batiatus. Spartacus then dies on the cross.
2004 miniseires
Spartacus fights off many soldiers during the final battle. He rushes towards Crassus shouting his name. Crassus shouts the latters name but they are both blocked from each other by Crassus' troops. Spartacus is cut down by Roman spears and the soldiers proceed to stab the rebel leader to death.
2010-2013 Starz original
During the final battle, after besting Crassus the first time and knocking the commander off of his horse, his commander Rufus and a small group of soldiers help Crassus to a hill away from the battlefield. Suddenly Spartacus appears and kills the men around him. Crassus and Spartacus then fight again, both with duel swords. Spartacus gains the upper hand and knocks him down. Before Spartacus could deliver a final blow, he is struck from behind with spears. After pulling one out of his leg, he stumbles down. Before Crassus could deliver a final blow, Agron and a small group of rebels appear, and take him away before Crassus returned with reinforcements. Spartacus later succumbs to his wounds, and dies.

Thursday Thrifty Throwdown: Holiday Countdown! 12 Weeks!
With all of the back-to-school shopping, afterschool classes we have signed up for, the catalogs for Halloween costumes, and the wondering if we have to buy her a new winter coat, I'm tallying the dollar figures in my head. But, with 12 weeks til Christmas, I'm also starting to calculate plane flights, driving costs and the money we can afford to spend on presents this year. All of it makes mama want to reach for that Holiday Egg Nog a little early, I tell you.
These weeks, I'm really looking at where I can save money and as we've discussed, doing a holiday card myself can save some moolah. If you have a good printer (or decide to invest in one), you can do some really cool holiday greetings for those you keep in touch with:
-- Alter your photo. With sites like Picmonkey and Ribbet, you can add a neat quote and make that ho-hum picture something really jazzy and jolly (also check out this guide on Google+). Print it out on card stock and chunk it in the mail and you are done without spending much money.
-- Forget the picture. Again, just send some fun quotes from the kids over the years, or a quote that you love from a favorite holiday book, sign it and voila--done!
-- Go paperless. Upload a cool photo to an email (use those cool sites I just mentioned) and email everyone this year. Saves money, saves time and yes, helps our planet too!
How are you doing with the holiday prep? Have you decided on your holiday cards?
we are very low budget for holidays this year...only getting stuff for my son...
Great ideas for the holiday card! I'm not doing one but my parents always do a holiday card, I'll pass the ideas on to them.
lol no, i am a procrastinator. i plan on getting a family photo of us soon to use for christmas cards. other than that, i really hadn't thought of the holidays, other than halloween. ;)
hahahahaha my 4yr daughter is sitting here and saw the pic in the OP and just said that is amazing, we need to get that Christmas tree LOL.... anyhow, no prep yet right now Im focused on Oct and the million bdays & our annual Halloween party!
I don't even want to THINK about Christmas until late November lol :)
O my gosh don't remind me!! LOL
By the way is it okay if I mention here and invite anyone interested to check out my new group.
It's called Clean Home for Michiana Families. If not it's no biggie, just not making a lot of friends quickly here so want to see if i can get word out in my other fav groups!
I love to send out cards...last year I got picked as part of the influencer here at cafemom for greeting cards..I put ds's picture on them..they were cute.

Murders Unsolved is a collection of the most baffling cases of murder from around the world during the last century. From the murder of Marilyn Reese Sheppard, the possible basis for the TV show and movie The Fugitive, to the sad and lonely Boy in The Box, and from the cruel murder of Dian Fossey to the still unsolved case of young Amber Hagerman that brought about today's Amber Alert system, these cases are confusing, irritating, and still unsolved! Learn more about the murders of:
Listen to the backstories of these cases, the possible suspects, the fumbled investigations, and other incredible facts and theories surrounding them. Also included are any current updates on the cases and where they stand today.

Interesting cases. Not the most popular ones either. Could be better written and longer. Okay
"superficial, poorly written"
The author refers to the violent and brutal murder of Mrs. Sam Sheppard as "the fuss". Her seven year old son sleeping in the next room was not awakened by "the fuss".
The writer fails to mention the underlying social and economic factors of the case. Sam Sheppard's father and two brothers were all osteopaths. They owned and opened their own hospital and were taking business from the local medical establishment.
All four men were well known womanizers.
Anti Semitism was also a factor as these four osteopaths were Jewish.
The other cases are fairly interesting. Mediocre book.
"Unsolved because of shitty Police work."
They could have focused on truly baffling cases instead on cases that aren't solved because of crappy procedures. These cases have all the evidence they need but it was mishandled and too many people influenced the investigation.

Songs of Innocence, Songs of Experience
Sandy MacDonald • Rhode Island • Dec 23, 2003
Warren is almost too proficient, calculatedly so. Within a couple of numbers, we've got her number. Song after song (after song) follows a similar arc as she starts off mousy-piano and builds to a big, fortissimo finish. She has a fantastic voice, especially at full throttle, and exquisite diction; but, with only a few exceptions, her tour de force feels like a forced march.
Some of the blame lies with co-creator Amanda Dehnert, who, as accompanist, perhaps didn't have the opportunity to step out from behind the piano and do much directing. Only from the audience's vantage point -- the seating has been reconfigured to incorporate naugahyde booths and a working bar in keeping with the roadhouse theme -- can one see how tiresome all the stage business is. Warren constantly fiddles with her mane of red hair, flipping it from loose to pony tail to bun and back again in order to help suggest an array of characters as her chorister cohorts futz with her clothes.
This busywork is both distracting and ineffective: A raincoat and porkpie hat do not a middle-aged man make of a woman. (At best, Warren resembles David Bowie having a bad wardrobe day.) And there really ought to be a law proscribing sopranos from essaying the songs of Tom Waits. Drop the belabored cross-dressing and over-literal pantomime -- do we really need to see a body draped abed to get the gist of "Ruby's Arms?" -- and this show would be stronger and tighter. It's as if no one trusted the songs to pull their own weight.
A few of them do so anyway. Warren is touching when she plays a child in Lyle Lovett's bouncy, joyous "If I Had a Boat" and again in Dar Williams's "The Babysitter's Here." She's brilliant as a bitter adolescent in Jonathan Brook's "God Damn Everything / Circus" and in the teen-angel anti-anthem "Alleluia" (Williams again). In general, she's at her best when she has someone to play off of -- optimally, as in the latter two numbers, mezzo Miriam Silverman, who has a dancer's articulated body and a nice, warm timbre to her voice. It's intriguing to imagine how much richer this Songs cycle would be if the spotlight were more equitably shared.

Harry Styles gifts a voicemail message to a lucky fan
|April 11, 2014 Harry Styles, One Direction
Ellie Fitzgerald Payne was a lucky girl.
The One Direction fan was shocked when she received a voicemail from Harry Styles himself.
"Hi Ellie, it's Harry here. I'm with your dad and we've just had lunch together and he's a really nice guy. Hope to see you soon. I think we're having coffee next week, so maybe...," the 1D cutie said in the message, which Ellie recorded and posted on instagram.
The 18 year old teenager explains how the surprise came about.
"My mum and step dad were in London for the weekend, staying in Shoreditch House," she tells us. "On Monday they were waiting for the lift and Harry Styles came up behind them!"
Ellie continued, "My stepdad introduced himself, they all got in the lift and chatted, and he asked Harry if he was going outside and if possible could he speak to his daughter on the phone, saying I probably wouldn't answer because that is just my luck and I am known to not be so great at answering!"
"They tried a couple of times when they got outside but I was driving! I was so gutted and annoyed at first by the fact I missed my chance to talk to him; but then I heard the voicemail and was so shocked and excitedI mean it's not every day you get a voicemail like that!"
She added, "My friend and I were sat in my car going absolutely crazy. And what a lovely and down to earth guy he appeared to be with a great sense of humour both to my parents and over the voicemail!"

Electoral map tilting toward Obama
Published 7:26 pm, Friday, September 14, 2012
WASHINGTON - President Obama's post-convention "bounce" - combined with recent missteps by Republican rival Mitt Romney - has created an electoral map highly favorable to the Democratic president.
National and state polls show small but significant movement toward Obama since the beginning of the Democratic National Convention.
Obama's has jumped out to an average lead of 3.1 percent points in 10 national polls taken since Sept. 4. That's triple the 1.1 percentage-point edge Obama held in polling conducted between Romney's selection of Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate and the end of the Republican National Convention.

"Unless there is a crisis-driven shift in opinion, the race will probably stay close, with a slight advantage to Obama," said John J. Pitney, Jr., a professor of American politics at Claremont McKenna College.
But the president's narrow popular vote edge is magnified in the Electoral College. Obama holds a lead in the polls in 11 of the 12 battleground states being contested by both candidates.
Swing state advantage
An analysis by Real-ClearPolitics.com, a nonpartisan web site, shows the Democratic incumbent currently leading in states (and the District of Columbia) with 332 electoral votes - 62 more than is needed to ensure his re-election - while Romney is ahead in states with 206 electoral votes. Romney is leading in only two states won by Obama in 2008: Indiana and North Carolina.
The Republican nominee needs to capture at least eight of 12 swing states captured four years ago by Obama to have a chance in an Electoral College that favors Democrats because of the president's dominance in megastates such as California, New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania. Texas is the only one of the nation's five most populous states that is safely in the Romney column.
Romney's campaign argues that Obama is benefiting from a temporary post-convention blip that will disappear in coming weeks. But the GOP nominee has been on the defensive this week over comments he made in the aftermath of attacks on U.S. diplomatic compounds in Libya and Egypt. And his campaign was forced to clarify the candidate's view of the middle class Friday after Romney told ABC News that "middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less."
Debates important
Presidential scholars say Romney is unlikely to win the election unless he makes a breakthrough in the upcoming debates or Obama suffers an unexpected political reversal.
"The first debate (in Denver on Oct. 3) could tell the tale for this campaign," said Cindy Rugeley, a Texas Tech University political science professor. "Gov. Romney must do something terribly right or President Obama must do something terribly wrong."
Most distressing for Republicans is Obama's continuing lead in Ohio, a bellwether state carried by every winning Republican presidential candidate in U.S. history. Romney has led in only six of the 36 Ohio presidential polls this year, and the Democratic nominee is running ahead in all four polls taken since the GOP convention ended, by an average margin of 4.25 percentage points.
"It is all-important that Obama is leading by a little, and sometimes more, in most, if not all, of the states both campaigns see as must-win," said Cal Jillson, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University. "Things can change between now and election day, but if Obama wins Florida and Ohio - and he is leading narrowly in both now - it is hard to see a path to the White House for Romney."

As if we need to point this out, but Jasmine Tridevil (that's not her real name, but it's what she wants to go by from now on) has three boobs.
The 21-year-old Florida massage therapist opened up about her extra endowment during an interview on Real Radio 104.1. She said the third breast was surgically added "a few months ago" and that it cost $20,000 to have the surgery. But why?
"I got it because I wanted to make myself unattractive to men," Tridevil said. "I don't wanna date anymore."
As if that's going to work.
And if you want to know what kind of surgeon is crazy enough to perform this procedure, keep wondering.
"They did have an issue with it and it was really hard finding somebody who would do it. Because they're breaking the code of ethics to do it," Tridevil said in her interview. "That's why he made me sign a non-disclosure agreement because he's afraid he could get in trouble. But I called like 50 or 60 doctors, nobody wanted to do it."
Apparently, Tridevil is hoping her questionable medical decision will lead to a career change.
"I was making really good money [being a licensed massage therapist], but now I'm trying to star in a reality show instead. I don't like that job," she said. "My whole dream is to get this show on MTV. I hired a camera crew individually, so I'm the producer of this show right now."
She's been hashtagging photos of herself on social media with #MTV, trying to get the attention of the network. Here's hoping it works out, because, besides the chance of nobody taking her seriously ever again, Tridevil has a lot invested in this venture.
"I saved up for two years and I didn't spend any of that money and I'm dumping every penny I have into this," she said. "If this doesn't work, I'm through."

SHINee is back! Well, not just yet but soon enough surely, as the popular noona-baiting group has already released fabulous teaser photos of its members for their much awaited comeback. SHINee is set to release another full length album – their third – this month called Dream Girl.
Now we all know that the SHINee boys are style icons in their own right. In this post we feature the fashion from teaser photos of leader Onew and maknae Taemin. The group's resident "father-son" team shines in bold combinations of print, in the predominant color of SHINee shade of blue.
Onew's teaser showed him wearing a multicolored plaid blazer from Thom Browne's Spring-Summer 2013 Collection. More blazers to suit your fancy below. He wears this over a pink and blue color block shirt with a crisp white collar. He matches his plaid top with – what else? – floral pants from Japanese brand UNIQLO. Onew finishes his whimsical look with silver studded sneakers.
Always the trendsetter, maknae Taemin is all grown up and oozing sex appeal in his teaser photo. He wears a Joyrich Sunrise Blossom Crewneck Sweater bearing a print of a cool bear against florals. Taemin keeps warm with a pretty blue Walter Van Beirendonck 'Hand on Heart' Blazer over his sweater. He matches a printed cap with his guy-liner, and swathes his endless legs in tribal print jeggings, ending in red high cut sneakers. Oh, and yes, a live horse.

Visiting Bratislava for a few days over Christmas I was really worried about being disconnected. Thankfully, right from the start I found a cafe with free wifi, cafe & co, which was truly broadband and functioning. Better yet, the place had liberally scattered power points, so spending a few hours there was not a problem. And the coffee was good too. This wonderfulness has been made possible by Siemens Business Services for reasons I can only speculate. Perhaps they worked out that if they make it easy for people to spend time there, they'll come more often and buy more stuff. They certainly have my custom.
Alas, the cafe closed on 25th and 26th December, so I have to hunt for a new wifi haunt. Again I was in luck, a cafe with free wifi and decent coffee but no power outlets. This is a big deal for any internet junkie as most laptop batteries leave much to be desired. So full marks to Cafe & co for not stinging on electriciy and broadband.
The power, the power!
Who needs a mobile when you have Skype!
It's back to London in a couple of hours though…

Isle of Wight's Camp Hill Prison staff 'in dark over closure'
Isle of Wight prison staff have accused the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) of treating them "appallingly", following its announcement to close jails.
Camp Hill near Newport will close by the end of the week as a cost-cutting measure by the MoJ's Prison Service.
But the Prison Officers' Association (POA) said "distressed" staff were still not told about their job future.
The Prison Service said it was working with trade unions to "avoid compulsory redundancies as far as possible".
'Drive down costs'
The Category C Camp Hill Prison is one of seven prisons closing in England, as announced in January.
It is part of HMP Isle of Wight along with Parkhurst and Albany prisons, which are to remain open.
A Prison Service spokeswoman said Camp Hill was closing as part of a "determined" effort "to drive down the cost of running our prisons".
She added: "We are replacing older accommodation that is expensive to run with newer, cheaper and more efficient accommodation that will provide better value for money."
She would not confirm the amount of job losses.
'Stressful time'
But POA's Camp Hill branch secretary Ben Cooper, who has set up an e-petition against the closure, estimated 160 posts out of 750 staff at HMP Isle of Wight would go.
Mr Cooper said staff have had a "stressful time" and "have been treated appallingly" because they have not been told what is happening with their jobs or whether they need to be redeployed to the mainland.
"Everybody was under the impression they would know what was happening to them by 1 March," he said.
"They were told they would be leaving by 30 June if they took voluntary redundancy, but now they've been told they don't know what will be happening to them until later on, and we have to wait for various decisions."
The last of Camp Hill's 595 prisoners are being transferred to other jails this week and the land will be handed back to the MoJ.
There will be 2,600 fewer places across England in a move that is estimated to save about £63m a year.
The MoJ plans to build a 2,000-place super prison in London, north-west England or north Wales.

Greetings - - I am sorry to learn of your friend's discomfort... "...My aussie ...is in so much pain that he groans all day,I tried Tramadol last night but had no effect on the pain.

Hi, I have been exactly where you are! My pain doctor would not listen either. Every time I saw him I would complain that the morphine made me feel "out of it" and that I did not like it. He kept insisting that i take it and then proceeded to up the dosage! Six weeks later I woke up in the ICU hallucinating and suffering from kidney failure! I don't remember how I got there, in fact, I don't remember the whole month of February(2010), and now I suffer from short term memory loss.

Weturner, there IS a connection between "bipolar" and kidney stones. His 'bipolar' symptoms and kidney stones are very possibly caused by the same thing. It is called Hyperparathyroidism. Most people have never heard of PARAthyroid glands. But we all have four of them. Please have your husband's parathyroid checked out by the best expert you can find. I was put on medications for years for mental things such as bipolar, I was also getting kidney stones a lot.

No it's never optimal to take medicine while you are pregnant but the stress the pain would cause you
the possibility of total

TALKIN' TEXAS: Reporter on CBS"Sunday Morning' finds plenty of stories in Texas
Published 6:00 pm, Wednesday, February 17, 2010
I am a faithful viewer of the CBS-TV show, "Sunday Morning," and have enjoyed the feature reports by Bill Geist. He travels the country interviewing people who have fun doing odd things. He covers lots of characters and unique events. When I heard he was going to be doing a report in Round Top, a little place near Brenham, I decided to be there, too and try to get an interview with him.
He was there to do a piece on Bud Royer'ís Pie For Life Program. For a price, Bud will make sure you have a lifetime supply of pies.
It was a beautiful Sunday and Bud's cafe was just beginning to fill up when I got there. I visited with Bud for a while, anticipating the arrival of Bill Geist. Soon a van pulled up and Bill, his producer, soundman and cameraman got out. I gave him enough time to make contact with Bud and set up whatever he was going to do with him, and then I went over and introduced myself. I asked him if I could do an interview with him and he said, "Sure. Why don't we do it now before this place gets crazy."
We went to my car, I turned on the recorder and we had a conversation. He told me his reports are on "Sunday Morning" two or three times a month.
"I'm not embarrassed to say I've never been to Round Top before, since most of the people I've met in Texas had no idea where it was," he said.
He loves to come to Texas. He was at the State Fair last October and had some fried butter. He says he had mixed feelings about it. When he heard about the Pie For Life program, he had to come see about it.
"Every time I come to do a story in Texas I pick up some local magazines and stuff and start tearing pages out on different characters and by the time I get back to New York my lap is full of papers spilling all over the place. Texas is one of those states that keeps me in business."
Bill has a background in print journalism.
"I was a newspaper writer and Charles Curalt, who was in charge of the 'Sunday Morning' show back then, called me and told me to come over, that it would be fun. So for better or worse, I plunged right in."
He has written a couple of books. One was about his turning 40 years old.
"I had a book called 'Way Off The Road,' which came out in 2008 on my 20th anniversary with CBS. It has some of my favorite places to visit. In doing the book I realized that all of my favorite pieces came from small towns."
It takes a while to get one of Bill's reports ready to air.
"We travel for a day, shoot for two days, fly back for another day. We look at all the stuff and often have eight or nine hours of video for a six- or seven-minute piece. We write the script then the editor goes to work on it. It takes about a week to put one together."

A PORTSMOUTH food manufacturer is now powered by green energy produced by its own waste.
Quattro Foods Limited, which makes fresh chilled soups, sauces and dishes for food service and retailers across the UK, has signed up to receive power from Veolia's energy recovery facility in Copnor.
The company's recent investment in improved blast-chilling equipment would increase their energy consumption beyond what was available on site.
Bosses looked next-door to Veolia Environmental Services, which produces electricity from waste.
Sam Brower, managing director of Quattro Foods said: 'We send our waste to Veolia and get it back in the form of electricity.
Following the installation of underground cables, Veolia is now an additional private electricity supplier for Quattro Foods, providing 75kva to the factory.
Ms Brower said: 'This supply of electricity from Veolia has allowed us to make full use of our new equipment, reduce additional electricity costs and has also improved our carbon footprint.
'This means we can continue to invest in factory improvements to enhance and improve our services to the catering industry, whilst remaining competitive.'
Lee Phelan, general manager of Veolia Environmental Services in Hampshire, said: 'Supplying our neighbours with electricity direct from our facility in Portsmouth means we are taking the first steps in becoming a green energy supplier while building a network which could in future supply the area with combined heat and power.'
