Lower Keys
Big Pine Key
Mile Markers 29.5-33 — Big Pine Key is part of the Lower Florida Keys and is home to the Key Deer. This protected species of smaller white tail deer roam the unspoiled tropical wilderness that makes this area unique. Far from being overcrowded, the pace of life on Big Pine is casual and relaxed. You can dive Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary, go offshore fishing or relax in the Florida Keys backcountry while flats fishing. Bahia Honda State Park is nearby for an afternoon picnic or canoe trip. (Source: http://thefloridakeys.com/bigpine)
All rentals in this area are a 28 day minimum.
Torch Keys
Mile Markers 28 & 29 — The three Torch Keys are at mile marker 28 and 29 on the Overseas Highway. There are three keys — Little, Middle and Big Torch. They were probably given their base name, "Torch," because of the native torchwood tree, Amyris elemifera. The islands' most likely claim to fame was as a relatively frequent fishing destination for President Harry S. Truman. Little Torch Key is the most densely populated of the three islands and it's also home to a couple of commercial ventures, including a restaurant and a resort. The famous Little Palm Island Resort & Spa has its land base on Little Torch.
All rentals in this area are a 28 day minimum.
Ramrod Key
Mile Marker 26-27.5 — Originally named Roberts Island, Ramrod Key was renamed for a ship named Ramrod, which was wrecked on a reef south of there in the early 19th century. Up to the time Henry Flagler built U.S. 1 also known as The Overseas Highway the only building on Ramrod was a post office that was alongside the train tracks. It is a popular tourist site due to the short distance between the island and Looe reef. Some of the things you can find on Ramrod Key are, the 5 Brothers 2 store, the Boondocks bar and putt-putt course.

All rentals in this area are a 28 day minimum.
Summerland Key
Mile Marker 24 to 25.5 — Summerland Key is midway between the cities of Marathon and Key West. The island contains mostly single-family residential properties, with several commercial properties arrayed along U.S. 1. It is home to the Florida National High Adventure Sea Base's Brinton Environmental Center and a field station for the Sarasota-based Mote Marine Laboratory. There is a private 2,550-foot-long community airstrip located just south of U.S. 1 on West Shore Drive (mile marker 25). Commercial ventures on U.S. 1 include restaurants, two gas stations, a hardware store, a marina and a small, locally owned grocery store. The majority of the island's development is on its south side (oceanside), where there is a mix of canalfront, oceanfront and dry lot homes.
All rentals in this area are a 28 day minimum.
Cudjoe Key
Mile Marker 20.5 to 23 — Like its neighbor to the north, Cudjoe Key's development is primarily south of the Overseas Highway toward the ocean. The island is home to Venture Out, a waterfront resort-style development with a mix of long-term residents and vacation rentals. Outside of Venture Out, the island's east end consists primarily of single-family homes built along canals or on open water. Toward the island's west end is Cudjoe Gardens, a development made up of mostly ground-level, concrete-block homes built on elevated canalfront lots. The deed-restricted neighborhood caters to boaters with its own marina. There are several commercial ventures along the highway, including restaurants, day spas, fish houses and a fitness center. There is sparse development on the island's north side, with most of it dedicated to preservation. One of Cudjoe Key's most famous landmarks usually can be seen floating north of the highway, about halfway down the island. "Fat Albert" as it's known to the locals, is a tethered radar system reportedly used by the U.S. government to monitor activity in the Florida Straits and to broadcast an American television signal into Cuba.

We had a reader request recently to search out a few Alfa Romeo Milanos. To start off the week, I thought we would continue on our cheap thrills theme from the weekend and feature this Milano Gold 2.5 for sale in British Columbia.
1987 Alfa Romeo Milano Gold
Sadly, not much information is offered by this seller, other than the car has a little over 100,000 miles. Also, as a 2.5 liter car, this would not be the Verde model, which had a 3.0 liter engine. This isn't the best example of a Milano that I've seen, but given a little negotiating room, this could be a good buy for someone handy with a wrench, as cosmetically, the car appears straight.

So...The house of cards tumble is now officially underway. What month does the Impeachment begin? Or is it derailed by a new "terrorist attack" or a new "war"?

URGENT REMINDER: The BRAD SHOW is supported (for now) by listener donations! So get on the phone, or send some e-mail, and tell a few friends about The BRAD SHOW. You (and they) will be glad you did.
LIVE OPEN THREAD BLOGGING below: click on the "comments" link at the bottom-right corner of this item to join in!
The phone-in number is 323-650-1286. You're all invited to call Brad and ask a question!
New York Times' Scott Shane wrote a serious article covering yesterday's Downing Street Hearings and the facts it examined concerning a President of the United States who may have committed Impeachable High Crimes by fixing intelligence and misleading the country into an unnecessary war leading to the death of thousands.
On the other hand, Washington Post's embarrasing Dana Milbank wrote an obnoxious and condescending little screed which begins, "In the Capitol basement yesterday, long-suffering House Democrats took a trip to the land of make-believe."
And, oh yeah, speaking of "the land of make-believe", Milbank gets one fact wrong after another as he plays "journalist" in the pages of one of the countries once-greatest newspapers.
The Washington Post, to their own shame, presumably gives a paycheck each week to Mr. Milbank for his coverage of Washington D.C.
Moments ago, Congressman John Conyers sent a letter in reply to Milbank's column. BRAD BLOG has the letter. Since someone's gotta be the media while WaPo continues its seemingly hell-bent attempt to continue its spiral towards irrelevance...and since we don't particularly expect WaPo to publish it themselves...we guess we'll do it...
LATE-NIGHT UPDATE: From ConyersBlog in re: The Delivery...He was met with expected respect one might afford the longest sitting member of the United States House of Representatives, and nine other Congressmen...At least what one might expect from this particular White House...
He has several other thoughts from today as well (including a link to yours truly - thank you...Mr. Chairman.)
UPDATE 6/17/05: A full list of the 123 congressional signees is now available here.
UPDATE 6/22/05: The tale of the tape...
Guests currently scheduled (with more to be announced soon)...
Join us Saturday Night 7p-11p ET (4p-8p PT)! Listen up via www.BradShow.com and right here at BRAD BLOG for a live Open Thread during the show!
Until we're completely bought and sold by the corrupting effect of corporate advertisements, your DONATIONS help us continue to "be the media" and are very much appreciated!
Updating White House press spokesman, Scott McClellan's complete dismissal of a Downing Street question yesterday (reported previously here), he continued his "Watergate Act" at today's press briefing. Only more so. Editor & Publisher has it...
UPDATE: And on a lighter note...Scottie faces the "last throes" of his ability to hold off the barbarians at the gate. Also from the good folks at E&P...
UPDATE 6/17/05: By way of helping Scottie, who seems to feel that there is just one member of congress who would like an answer to the questions sent weeks ago to Bush --- which are still unanswered --- here are the 123 duly elected members of the United States House of Represenatives who would like answers to those questions, along with at least 600,000 American citizens, so far:
As there are many who were unable to follow the hearings live and given the historic importance of them, I am making my raw notes --- essentially live blogged, but not posted during the hearings --- available here right away...Please note that these are raw notes, not necessarily quotes even if some of them are in quotes. I did try and type as closely as I could to what was being said however.
Hopefully this will give those of you unable to listen live, an idea of these EXTRAORDINARY hearings which were chaired by Congressman John Conyers' and just adjourned in the 15' by 30' room in the basement of the Capitol Building!...Simply extraordinary hearings...
(The hearing will re-air on C-SPAN 2 tonight, Thursday, at 8pm ET, and late-night at 1:56am on C-SPAN 1 at 1:56am Friday "morning", And again on Friday at 8pm ET)...
Complete Audio now posted, courtesy of BRAD BLOG secret weapon, David Edwards!

- Mirrored Streaming RealAudio
We will try to get the prepared testimony from the witnesses as soon as we can...
Though the hearings were remarkable, we don't believe they were the cause for 4.9 earthquake we experienced here in Los Angeles during the hearings (we're fine, but the ground did shake)...
A total of 122 members of Congress, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), have now signed on to Rep. John Conyers' (D-MI) letter to George W. Bush requesting a response to several questions in relation to the Downing Street Minutes.
The original letter, sent several weeks ago by the Ranking Minority Member of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee along with 88 congressional Democrats, was recently recirculated after several more members requested signing on. The original letter has so far gone unresponded to.
As well, The BRAD BLOG has learned that a total of 553,996 signatures by citizens have been collected for the letter by Conyers' and MoveOn.org over the past two weeks, and those will be delivered today to the White House shortly after today's scheduled hearings on the Downing Street matter.
That hearing is scheduled for 2:30pm ET today, to be followed by a rally in front of the White House and the delivery of the letter by Conyers and several others at 5pm ET.
As reported yesterday, the hearings will be carried live on C-SPAN 3 as well as Pacifica Radio and Radio Left.
Conyers' statement this morning via RAW STORY...
UPDATE: At least
14 20 25 Congressional Members present at hearings in basement room turned into hearings room, appx. 15 by 30 feet. Hearings now ongoing, being LiveBlogged at PDA...
POST HEARING UPDATE: BRAD BLOG raw notes posted...
UPDATE 6/17/05: A full list of the congressional signees is now available here.
PARDON THIS CRASS COMMERCIAL REMINDER...But as so many are now linking up to today's coverage here on the Downing Street hearings, and the audio recording, etc., now might be a good time to mention that The BRAD BLOG is run almost entirely on DONATIONS...Please feel free to help me continue!. Thanks.
At today's White House Press Briefing...The press corps managed to ask a single question about the Downing Street documents...near the very end of the briefing...
MR. McCLELLAN: I think you've asked these questions, the President has been asked these questions, and I think it's been addressed.
No, Scottie. I think it hasn't.
UPDATE 5/16/05: McClellan asked again today about DSM, mocks questioner!
Guest blogged by Winter Patriot
The following very important message is for YOU, and it's from our friend Steve...
Six weeks after its release by Rupert Murdoch's Times of London, CNN seems to have realized that the "Downing Street Minutes" just might indicate that the "President" of the United States may have lied the country into an unnecessary War on Iraq.
We're happy to see that CNN, along with many other MSM organizations, are finally covering (somewhat) what some of us "Conspiracy Theorists" have been covering for at least six weeks.
The report by Bill Schneider, available via Crooks & Liars, is not bad --- even featuring some guy named John Conyers --- though Schneider does manage to drop in some completely misleading and mangled analysis when he suggests that the reason this business is making news now is because support for the war has dropped to 42% or so, when it was over 60% in June of 2002.
NOTE TO BILL: One of the reasons support was so high back then, was because the "President" and his lackeys were actively running around the country, lying about Saddam's WMD, and you guys were covering such claims without batting even the slightest critical eye. Now that more and more information has come out to demonstrate the entire affair was bullshit, support for the war has plummeted.
In other words, support has dropped because we now know the truth. As opposed to your suggestion that this material is gaining traction because support for the war is bottoming out.
That said, we do realize that you may now be willing to cover it because support is bottoming out. God forbid you should give critical coverage to anything that America is currently in favor of.
Of course, if Schneider has any information to suggest that his analysis is correct and our analysis is wrong, he didn't bother to present it.
Perhaps CNN should stick to Michael Jackson, and leave the news to the bloggers.
C-SPAN has committed to carrying the U.S. House Judiciary Democrats hearings tomorrow on C-SPAN 3. They will be carried LIVE.
For those who don't receive C-SPAN 3 on their local cable system, the video and/or audio from the hearings should be carried via the Internets right here.
The hearings will also be carried live on Pacifica Radio and via Radio Left.
Yesterday, TrueMajority.org, another very large citizens activist organization, joined in sending Petitions to its members to collect signatures for John Conyers Letter to Bush, to be delivered bu Conyers himself after tomorrow's hearing. TrueMajority.org joins MoveOn.org who last week collected some 500,000 signatures in 48 hours or so.
As well, the hearings have now been rescheduled to 2:30pm, and have been moved from the DNC offices --- where they had previously been scheduled, when Republicans would not allow a hearing room for the Democrats --- back to a room in the Capitol Building.
According to a Press Release from AfterDowningStreet.org, the citizens coalition which has been very instrumental in bringing attention to this matter as previously ignored by the Mainstream Corporate Media...
The hearings had been planned for the Democratic National Committee offices because the Republicans controlling the House Judiciary Committee had refused to permit the ranking Democratic Member to use a large room on the Hill. http://www.thehill.com/t.../UndertheDome/index.html
However, the Democrats did have access to a small room in the Capitol, and Congressman Conyers has decided to move the hearings there. This does not indicate any change in position from the Republicans.
Members of the media will be welcome (press credentials required), but citizens in town for the 5 p.m. rally at the White House will have difficulty getting into the 2:30 hearings.
The DNC will serve as an overflow room, so people can still go there: the Wasserman Room at 430 S Capitol St. SE.
Later on the same day at 5:00 p.m. ET in Lafayette Square Park, in front of the White House, a large rally will support Congressman Conyers who plans to deliver to the White House a letter addressed to President Bush and signed by over 500,000 Americans and at least 94 Congress Members. The letter asks the President to respond to questions raised by the Downing Street Minutes.
Among those speaking at the hearings will be:
Joe Wilson, Former Ambassador and Africa Expert; Ray McGovern, 27-year CIA analyst who prepared regular Presidential briefings during the Reagan administration; Cindy Sheehan, mother of fallen American soldier; John Bonifaz, renowned constitutional lawyer and co-founder of AfterDowningStreet.org.
Also featuring written testimony from Karen Kwiatkowski, retired USAF lieutenant colonel, who spent her final four and a half years in uniform working at the Pentagon; and Ann Wright, who resigned from US State Department in protest of the war.
Among those speaking at the rally will be:
Congressman John Conyers (schedule permitting); Congresswoman Barbara Lee (schedule permitting); Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey (schedule permitting); Congressman Maurice Hinchey (schedule permitting); Cindy Sheehan, Co-Founder of Gold Star Families for Peace; Reg Keys, Member of Military Families Against the War, challenger to Tony Blair in last election (flying in from UK); John Bonifaz, Co-Founder of AfterDowningStreet.org; Tom Hayden, Co-Founder of Progressive Democrats of America; Medea Benjamin, Co-Founder Code Pink/Global Exchange; Stephen Cleghorn, Member of Military Families Speak Out; Rev. Lennox Yearwood, President and CEO of HipHop Caucus; Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst; William Rivers Pitt, Reporter for Progressive Democrats of America; Leslie Cagan, National Coordinator of United for Peace and Justice; Kevin Zeese, Director of Democracy Rising; Terry O'Neill, Vice President of the National Organization for Women.
More info, printable flyers, and details of local groups organizing around the country in support on the same day, are available via the same link at AfterDowningStreet.org.
UPDATE: Conyers is scheduled to appear on CSPAN's Washington Journal at 9am ET Thursday morning.
Not sure how we missed this. Okay, yes we are. Things have been a bit crazy lately.
Anyway...a former member of the Bush Administration (yes, the Bush Administration) is now voicing doubt about what brought down the Twin Towers and Building No. 7.
We haven't dealt much here with this particular matter, as we haven't had much to add to the various emerging skeptical voices out it. We'll keep our thoughts to ourselves for the moment, but the opinions of someone from within the Bush team speaking out about the matter seems notable enough to mention it here.
From UPI on Monday, as it ran in the Washington Times (yes, the Washington Times):
A more detailed article on Reynolds comments, and a nice summary of the alleged flaws in the official report are available in this Arctic Beacon article from over the weekend.
As mentioned, we don't have much of an opinion on this matter at this time, other than to note that once credibility is lost (see the Downing Street Minutes) it's difficult to get it back.
(Hat-tip to Katrina W. for the heads up!)

You have put your resume in order and your elevator pitch is ready. But what about your clothes? If you are getting ready for a job interview, there are a few key elements you need to make sure you check. In this guide, we look at the essential sartorial points you need to touch when you are picking your clothes and getting ready for a job interview.
The suit
Fit and style
The best option you have to wear when you go for a job interview is to wear a classic suit. A classic suit does not mean that it has to be a boring or traditional suit; it means that it is a timeless look. A good suit must fit well – before heading to the job interview, you can have a suit made or altered by a tailor. You won't believe what a tailored suit can do to your body and attitude. A suit that fits you well is a suit which's shoulder lines match yours, it's a suit that covers your bum, but doesn't go lower and is a suit that allows one inch of your shirt's cuffs to show, even when it the sleeves are pulled to their full length.
Remember: if you are not accustomed to wear suits often, once your suit is tailored and ready, wear it around the house or in the city a few times just to break it in and get more used to it. Being comfortable in a suit will show on the day of the interview.
When it comes to the style of the suit, there are many options available out there: from very sharp, tailored suits to suits that are more loose, everything is at hand. We would advise you to go for something sharp and that frames your body well. A one-button jacket will make you look younger and, if you are a thin man, you should wear a double-breasted suit.
Those who feel really comfortable in a suit can wear a three-piece suit, but this is not a must.
While most men think of black suits when they think of suits in general, one should know that there are better alternatives to back suits. Gray, charcoal and dark blue are also neutral colors that will give you a younger vibe and more visual interest than a black suit. Yes, black suits are powerful, but this is something that everyone knows and that has somewhat turned into a cliché. It's up to you what color suit you wear, but you need to know your options.
Button rules
When it comes to the buttons of your suits, there is a lot of talk of whether you should button or unbutton them. Here's the rule:
The lowest button of your jacket should always be unbuttoned.
If you wear a three-button jacket, the highest button can be left buttoned or unbuttoned.
If you wear a one-button jacket, you should button it.
When you are sitting down, always unbutton all the buttons and re-do them when you stand up.
Pants folds
The folds your pants create on their lower half are also an important detail. While back a while ago, it was accepted to have two folds, these days it is not recommended to have more than one. The most modern tailors actually suggest your pants should not fold at all at the bottom, which is a look we support as well.
A strong look for a job interview does require a tie. When you are choosing out a tie, there are a few basic things you need to remember:
a) The width of the tie should be proportionate to your body. This rule, which applies to accessories in general, is essential: bigger men should wear larger accessories, while men with smaller frames should wear smaller accessories.
b) When it comes to the color of your tie, you can wear the classic "power red tie". This is an effective look, but it can also tend to look like a cliché. Go for something catchy, bold, such as a deep blue, a great striped tie or a tie with a muted pattern.
Studies have shown that the worst colors you can wear on a job interview are orange, red (as we said before) and pink. We would also not recommend wearing a bright yellow, as it might hurt the interviewer's eyes.
A great tie is a simple and effective way to showcase your personality. Go for something that speaks to and about you, and you are all set. If you put on a great tie, you don't even need other accessories.
c) Also, as a rule of tie wearing: when you tie your tie, the lower end must touch your belt, it should not go higher or lower than your belt.
When you go to a job interview, it is recommended to wear dress shoes. Brogues, oxfords and wingtips are your best options. Make sure you wear a pair of shoes that is classic and timeless and that is made from quality materials. In terms of style, if you don't know which way to go, opt for a pair of wingtip shoes. Wingtips are the most versatile style and can be worn on many other occasions with many other types of outfits as well (they also go with jeans or shorts) and are therefore what we would call investment pieces. Wingtip shoes are recognized by their W design on their cap toes.
For best effects and results, when you are wearing a classic suit, it is best to keep your socks dark. Black, dark gray or dark blue are your best options. If you want to wear colorful socks, you can do it too. Remember never to wear white socks with a suit! White socks are meant to be worn only with sportsgear.
When you are picking a belt to wear on a job interview, you should remember that it should be proportionate to your size and that it needs to match your shoes in color, texture and fabric. One is definitely allowed to break this rule, but when you are giving a job interview, it's best to show that you know the rules, as dressing by the book will give you a cohesive and coherent look and the person who meets you will only have a few minutes to make an impression of you. This is why it is important to present a look that is harmonious, balanced and pleasing to the eye. However, you must remember that you need to do something to make yourself memorable and not look standard, as this way you will just blend in with the others. Try standing out in a different sartorial area is our advice.
Other accessories
While it is best to keep your accessories to an essential minimum, there are a few accessories you can add to your outfit that will make you look great and let the interviewer know more about who you are: watches for example are great accessories you can wear. One thing you should remember is that you don't want to look as if you are too good to work for the interviewer – don't show off by adding all your jewelry and social statement pieces, as these will make you look like a snob and as showy. It is not recommended to overdress by adding too many other accessories (pocket squares, bracelets, rings, etc.), as you want to keep it simple and smart.
One topic that needs to be touched when speaking about one's style for a job interview is grooming. When it comes to this aspect, you need to make sure that every aspect of your grooming is in its best place, as the smallest detail can throw your entire look off. Make sure you have a good haircut, that your hair is washed and in place, make sure you are properly shaved or that your beard is well trimmed, make sure your skin is exfoliated, make sure your eyebrows, nose and ear hair are not running wild, and make sure that your nails are cut and clean. Also, just before going in, make sure your teeth are their best and that you are not sweating.
As a bonus tip, we need to say that if you have a haircut, but can't maintain or with it, it's best to go for a buzz cut.
Bonus: Creative field
It is known that people in the creative field wish to express their personality and everything they care about through their looks when they go for a job interview. This way, they wish to make sure the company knows exactly who they are hiring.
While we do encourage you to express yourself, and agree that in the creative field, one can be a little more cookie dressed at a job interview; you still need to convey seriousness through your look. If someone wants to hire you, they need to understand that you mean business and that you can take their business seriously.
Therefore, our advice is to stick to a suit (you can wear a hoodie when you'll be a billionaire, even though then you won't go for job interviews anymore), but you can feel free to go for a colorful suit or to wear bolder, more interesting accessories.
Try not to overdress, as you will tend to look costumey and too over the top. Remember that simplicity is always best and that you can let someone know who you are without putting everything you like on you. A hint here, a hint there and a few interesting details are everything one needs to know to understand you are serious and creative.
Remember that true style and a true good look comes from confidence. While you should wear your clothes with confidence, it is imperative to know that your clothes can make you see yourself in a better light as well, which is why it is crucial to invest in high quality pieces. Great pieces will never become passé! Make sure you wear the clothes and that they don't wear you and you will be on the good path.
Best of wishes to you on your job interview!

I am trying to look good all of the time! Being scary hairy from legs to underarms is a no go. However, I am sensitive and need a painless hair removal solution. I also want that solution to be:
- Cost effective and quick
- An home hair removal solution for convenience
- Something that moisturizes my skin
I was prepping to get ready to go out to enjoy some sunshine with a college friend when I realized that I had some upkeep to take care of! My underarms were all wrong.
I like to be able to wear tank tops and summer dresses. That often means that your underarms come up for a familial embrace or if your favorite song comes on at a concert! Either way being hairy is not a good look nor is it feminine. The most beautiful summertime accessory is smooth skin.
So what do you do? I have always been interested in hair removal creams so I hightailed it over to Walgreens!
I saw Hot Legs flying off of the shelves and it was only $6.95, I grabbed one of the last boxes and made a bee line back to the house to get my underarms under control.
After I applied the Hot Legs I noticed how smooth that my hands felt. I have to admit, I tried it on my feet as well. I realize that Hot Legs is for hair removal and that you should always follow the directions-but my hands and feet feel like I got the best mani-pedi of my life!...and the smell is pleasant as well.
I have used other hair removal products before and when I used them I must admit that I experienced some pain and there was still hair left over. Hot Legs was quickly effective and it was very soothing and gentle! I even had to show my Sisters and they are eager to try Hot Legs as well.
I am so excited to get out to this weekends sunshine events and I can raise my hands as much as I want!
No Pain, no razor bumps and it didn't break my bank!
See The Full Photo-Story From My Hot Legs Experience!

Very soft
My husband wakes up every morning and tells me how comfortable our bed is! This duvet cover is very soft and is nice looking and added the extra 'comfy' to our bed. I have washed a few times and the fabric has held up very well. I will be purchasing another. I am very pleased with this purchase.

McLaughlin talks up bullish Ulster
THE South African influence at Ulster has been much lauded and has been a significant factor in the province's unbeaten start to the season -- even if team performances haven't quite matched results.
However, Ulster's gain is Ireland's pain, particularly when it comes to the back row. Stephen Ferris returns from injury for tomorrow's daunting Heineken Cup challenge in the Parc des Sports Aguilera in Biarritz (3.0), but the presence of South Africans Pedrie Wannenburg and Robbie Diack means Ireland's best blindside flanker is being asked to play on the open-side flank.
He has played there many times before, but Ferris' career only ignited when he moved into the No 6 jersey and, not only is he playing out of position a few weeks before Wanneburg's countrymen rock up to Lansdowne Road, the Afrikaner influence means no room for Chris Henry or Willie Faloon.
Henry showcased his considerable abilities at No 8 on the summer tour, but drops to the bench for this clash while Faloon (a serious prospect at open-side, where Ireland are not overburdened with options) cannot even make the match-day squad.
Ferris is one of four changes to the side that accounted for Aironi in round one. Injuries to full-back Jamie Smith and centre Darren Cave mean starts for David McIlwaine and Ian Whitten, while another South African, BJ Botha, is back to take his place at tight-head prop with Tom Court moving to loose-head.
They go up against a Biarritz side brimful of ability and muscle, typified by skipper Jerome Thion who returns to the second row.
They boast an enormous front five and the peerless Imanol Harinordoquy in the back row, while their outside backs ooze pace, typified by the electric American Takudzwa Ngwenya on the right wing.
However, the key men for the home team are half-backs Dimitri Yachvili and Julien Peyrelongue, canny operators who know how to run a game.
Yachvili goes up against another goal-kicking, footballing No 9 in Ulster's Ruan Pienaar and if ever the Springbok was to justify his salary, this is the occasion. Ulster, despite a horrendous record in France, go into the clash in bullish form, with genuine belief that they can end the hoodoo.
"I believe we now have a pack to match anything that Biarritz can throw at us," said coach Brian McLaughlin.
"Our strong and physical back row will send out a message that we mean business. We may be travelling as underdogs, with Biarritz, apparently, hot favourites to top the pool, but we just may have something to say about that.
"Ulster have a dreadful record in France, a draw against Toulouse was our best result many moons ago, so it is time to put that right. This just might be the time."
An Ulster victory would be a fantastic result and open up a path to their first quarter-final in more than 10 years, but last season's beaten finalists are not about to be willing accomplices in their visitors' Bokke to the future grand plan.
It all points to a home victory, with a losing bonus point representing a worthwhile achievement for Ulster.
Verdict: Biarritz
BIARRITZ -- D Haylett-Petty; T Ngwenya, C Gimenez, M Bond, I Balshaw; J Peyrelongue, D Yachvili; E Coetzee, B August, C Johnstone; J Thion (capt), E Lund; M Lund, I Harinordoquy, R Lakafia. Reps: R Terrain, S Marconnet, A Barozzi, M Carizza, B Guyot, D Traille, A Mignardi, I Bolakoro,
ULSTER -- D McIlwaine; A Trimble, I Whitten, P Wallace, S Danielli; I Humphreys, R Pienaar; T Court, R Best (capt), BJ Botha; T Barker; J Muller; P Wannenburg, S Ferris, R Diack. Reps: A Kyriacou, B Young, P McAllister, D Tuohy, C Henry, P Marshall, A D'Arcy, N Spence.

Why, you might wonder, would syndicated columnist and Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer fully and happily endorse a progressive Democrat for president?
The answer lies in what the plugged-in pundit feels would be the outcome of any election in which Elizabeth Warren is the Democrat candidate — a sure and certain win for the Republican contender for the White House in 2016.
Warren, currently a leading "populist" voice as one of Massachusetts' two Democrat senators, is being urged to run for the presidency by quite a few hard-left groups. As The Daily Caller reports, MoveOn.org plans to spend $1 million to mobilize grassroots support for Warren in Iowa and New Hampshire.
More than 81 percent of MoveOn's members support a Warren candidacy.
Warren is a progressive favorite, who many would like to see challenge frontrunner Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.
Warren has repeatedly said she won't run, and her current prospects appear none too bright. A brand new Monmouth University Poll finds her trailing far behind Hillary Clinton:
When asked to name who they would like to see as the next Democrat nominee for president, nearly half (48%) of Democrats and Democratic leaning voters volunteer Hillary Clinton.
No other candidate registers in double digits. Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is named by 6%….
By clicking on the video above, you can watch an almost gleeful Charles Krauthammer declare his all-out support for an Elizabeth Warren candidacy, declaring, "It would be a festival if you're a conservative."

The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at IRS (Boston, MA) in April 2009.
Met with the two managers in the office. We spoke mostly about my work experience, and I asked a few questions about the position. The interview was very short (about a half hour).
Interview Questions
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IRS (New York, NY) in March 2009.
Interview was for entry level attorney position with Chief Counsel's Office. Interviewer asked questions of substantive nature regarding subchapters C and K. The offices appeared to be made up of primarily cubicals with a few walled offices and conference rooms. The environment was sterile but secure, standard government offices. I never heard a single word back from them.

So, being one of the longest title I've ever seen for anime, it seems to be about pervy girl who wants to f*ck, kiss, rape and fantasise her onii (or opposite). The title can be translated as 'I don't like such a thing like older brother, at all!', which is totally tsundere.

Asian stocks mostly higher after Wall Street record highs
BEIJING — Most Asian stock markets were higher Wednesday after U.S. shares rose on encouraging jobs data while worries about North Korea and twin hurricane disasters eased.
KEEPING SCORE: Tokyo's Nikkei 225 rose 0.5 percent to 19,879 points and India's Sensex was up 0.3 percent at 32,242.41. The Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.1 percent to 3,376.39 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 0.3 percent to 28,889.95. Seoul's Kospi gained 0.2 percent to 2,369.82 and Sydney's S&P-ASX 200 was up just under 0.1 percent at 5,749.10. Benchmarks in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines gained while Taiwan and New Zealand declined.
WALL STREET: Banks rose for a second day and retailers gained after the Labor Department said numbers of job openings and new hires both grew in July. That left investors hopeful people will shop and spend more. The Standard &Poor's 500 index rose 0.3 percent to a record 2,496.48. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 0.3 percent to 22,118.86, a fraction of a point higher than its previous record. The Nasdaq composite picked up 0.3 percent, to 6,454.28.
NORTH KOREA: President Donald Trump said Tuesday new U.N. sanctions "are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen" to stop North Korea's nuclear program. U.S. officials showed Congress satellite images of illicit trade to highlight the challenge of getting China and Russia to cut off commerce. The measures fell short of Washington's goals: a potentially crippling ban on oil imports and freezing the international assets of Kim Jong Un and his government.
ANALYST'S TAKE: "Financial markets seem to have abruptly stopped worrying about the end of the world, with stocks soaring again, bond yields pushing higher, and safe haven currencies such as the JPY selling off," said Rob Carnell of ING in a report. "It won't last. But until the next risk off event appears, we might as well enjoy it and can focus back on the underlying macro story." A potential trigger is U.S. threats to restrict Chinese access to the American financial system, said Carnell. "Were this U.S. threat to be carried out, we are fairly sure that China would retaliate in ways that would also hurt the U.S. economically."

Rat Queens: Braga #1
Publisher: Image
Writer: Kurtis Wiebe
Artist: Tess Fowler
Cover: Tess Fowler
It's been quite some time, but we've finally got another Rat Queens issue on the shelf! This one in particular is a one-shot that spotlights Braga instead of our favorite butt kicking quartet, but it's another gem from Wiebe all the same. Along for the ride this time is artist Tess Fowler, and together they bring us the origin story of the meanest member of The Peaches to ever wield an axe!
Now, Braga has only made a few appearances, so it was strange to see her get the one-shot treatment instead of some of the more prominent characters. Also, by now you may have heard that Braga is a transgender character, but that's not where the story centers. Wiebe gives a stunning tale about Braga's past that focuses on her not being accepted for the new direction she wants her Orc tribe to follow. After fighting for over a thousand years, no one knows what they're fighting about, and she would attempt to bring about peace. However, her father's ways aren't hers, and it seems as if her brother would rather see her dead and the old ways continue.
If anyone was worried that this would not be as good an issue since the girls weren't in it, put your fears to rest. Wiebe maintains the same level of storytelling that makes the main Rat Queens title excellent, and the only thing that has changed is the focus. It's also a great issue because he's not trying to use her sexuality as a driving story point, and by the time you're halfway in it's more of a passing thought. Though, this could also be due to several twists along the way that only make the story better.
Fowler's artwork nailed everything right about this story, and though a few panels weren't great the overall appeal was enjoyable. There's a lot of detail in the Orc armor and weapons during the battle that gives everything more character. And much like in other Rat Queens issues the violence is bloody and brutal, but doesn't overshadow the visual story one bit. The most impressive sequence involves Braga's brother and his goons attempting to kill her. It's just a nice display of Braga's savagery along with some nice swordplay. As far as the colors go, things are a bit dark and muddy, but it's because this is a story involving Orcs. If you want bright and cheery then go read something involving fairies or elves.
Braga's story is a solid one, and Wiebe has made her a character we hopefully get to see more of. The story here lends itself to more as we know the past likes to come back and bite certain characters in the butt. So pick up this one-shot if you're a Rat Queens fan, or if you're a fan of Orcs slaying the hell out of one another! Either way you'll have fun!

Remember Communism has killed over 70 Million people in China alone, plus all the other millions murdered by Stalin & Castro. Beating the socialist of Hitler of only about 20 to 30 million murdered.
China has killed its own people on several occasions & has encouraged the genocide in Darfur by helping them with refining the oil.
Why are we still recognizing them as a valid Government? They don't even care for their own people, China had a leader that said that for the world order we can kill 6 Million Chinese. (That was not a direct quote, but similar to what Mao Tse Tung did say.)

Lecture No More Champagne: Churchill and His Money
New England Historic Genealogical Society 99-101 Newbury Street | 6:00 PM
David Lough
Mr. Lough is a former member of the London Stock Exchange and Fellow of the Chartered Securities Institute.
He returned to history in his retirement and coupled it with his experience in finance to write his first book No More Champagne: Churchill and His Money.
No More Champagne: Churchill and His Money
The popular image of Winston Churchill—grandson of a duke, born at Blenheim Palace, drinking champagne and smoking a cigar—conjures up an image of a man of wealth and substance.
In truth, Britain's most celebrated modern statesman lived for most of his life on a financial cliff edge. He had to take risks, speculate wildly on shares, and write constantly to fund his lifestyle. Indeed in 1898 Churchill wrote, "The only thing that worries me in life is money."
With unprecedented access to Churchill's private records, historian and financier David Lough was able to create the first fully researched narrative of Churchill's private finances and business affairs. Mr. Lough will lecture and disclose the scale of Churchill's financial risk-taking, his ability to talk or write himself out of the tightest corners, and also expose the links between the private Churchill and the public figure.
Depicting Churchill's financial endeavors across his lifetime, Mr. Lough will also illustrate the cultural shift in Britain as aristocratic inheritances often waned and a new class of business entrepreneurs emerged. These new financiers forged fortunes in railways, mining, finance, and other industries.
Mr. Lough's remarkable tale of Churchill's success despite his monetary shortcomings only makes the story of one of the most successful political figures of the 20th century more fascinating.

Freedom Of Expression And Speech Over Religion
Do people really appreciate, let alone understand, what it is that they are marching in favor of? Do those same people understand the massive difference between what is being claimed as a Right, as a Freedom, and the Rights and Freedoms of those people on the other side of the street?
The killing of so many people in France – the killing of so many thousands of people around the world – in the name of religion, regardless of which religion it may be, is clearly wrong. It was wrong in ancient times, it is wrong today. There can be no sane justification for taking a life in such a manner, no matter what has happened, what they have done. There can also be no justifiable religious reason for taking lives in such a manner – whether it be in France, in Syria or elsewhere – especially when all religions claim to be peace-loving.
Clearly what is happening in the Middle East at the moment, the advance of the Islamic State, has nothing to do with peaceful co-existence and, for the bulk of Muslims, nothing to do with religion either. The leaders of this movement should not, therefore, be placed on the same level as the ordinary Muslim who follows his or her religion according to a peaceful and socially acceptable interpretation.
Likewise the killing of a group of people in Paris, mainly connected to the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, should not be placed upon the shoulders of the vast majority of Muslims. It should, however, be looked upon in a different light. The periodical and its employees attacked the entire Muslim religion with their satirical articles and cartoons. They did not limit themselves to what is wrong, what is being taken out of context, what is being mis-used and abused in the name of religion. Their satirical works – or what we in the West might see as being satirical – attacked millions of people who have nothing to do with the violence or abuses of those taking their chosen – or inherited – religious beliefs as an invitation to kill and maim.
The various Freedoms and Rights we have won and earned over many years can just as easily be abused as they can be lost. To claim the Right to abuse an entire religion simply because of a few, to claim Freedom of the Press, of Expression, of Opinion to heap abuse and vilification on others is an abuse of that Right and Freedom just as much as to claim that religion allows the killing of others to further its ends.
There can be no justification for the murders in Paris, if those who take it upon themselves to commit such acts claim to be doing it in the name of their religion. At the same time, there can be no justification for the abuse of an entire religion, people, country, ethnic race, sexual orientation in the name of Freedom. The Right to practice any Freedom should be coupled with the intelligence, the commonsense to realize that this Freedom is limited, and that those being vilified, attacked, abused who have nothing to do with a violent interpretation of a religious passage, belief or similar are having their Rights and Freedoms abused too. To claim Freedom and Right whilst denying Freedom and Right through abuse of those same Freedoms and Rights should be no ones Right.
- Viktoria Michaelis.

I have been explaining why this is a fallacy for two weeks now. What is one more time?
Religions have no rights: they are things, semantic objects. No one has any right to have their fairy tales respected, even if they believe them. Religions are fictions and do not deserve any more respect than any other fiction. To quote Salman Rushdie after the massacre: Islam deserves disrespect (he is as expert as they come).
This anti-blasphemy position is the result of the reborn church militant (of all faiths).
Charlie Hebdo published caricatures of the self-appointed prophet of a non-existent deity. For this, 12 people were butchered. This is exactly the same as murdering people who poke fun at Mickey Mouse because some little kids love the rodent. To question the freedom of mocking a religion is the first step in justifying any repression.
Charlie Hebdo never attacked Muslims qua Muslims, that lie comes from a media that easily confounds the map and the territory and knows next to nothing of the publication and the people who make it.
I appreciate the point you're making here, but I absolutely disagree. In a truly free society, there is no inalienable right to not be made fun of, nor is there an inalienable right to not be offended by what others choose to write, see or do. If the cartoons in 'Charlie Hebdo' or whatever offend you, you don't buy the magazine, pure & simple – if they really offend you, you might write the editor a nasty letter or two. What you don't do is go out and shoot whoever's upset you, because a)it's an affront to all that's decent, and b)whatever argument you might have had is automatically invalidated. I've never seen 'Charlie Hebdo', and for all I know it may be lame crap, but as of this moment it is demonstrably morally superior to Islam. If Islam – or any other religion – is so bloody fragile that it truly can't take being mocked and satirised, then it is philosophically redundant, and doesn't deserve anyone's respect.

An unconventional horror movie made from hundreds of 10-second clips shot for and published on Snapchat has been released for sale after drawing millions of views on the popular social media site.
Entitled "Sickhouse", the made-for-mobile film follows social media celebrity Andrea Russett and her friends as they head into the woods to explore an abandoned cabin. It was shot on iPhones over five days and released via her Snapchat account.
Snapchat, a mobile app where posts disappear within 24 hours, has more than 100 million active users, most under the age of 25. The clips blending real life and fiction were compiled into a 68-minute film now available on the online service Vimeo.
"I don't think people are ever going to lose interest in sitting down and watching a movie but I think it's interesting to try out these new different things," Russett, who has 2.5 million subscribers to her YouTube channel, told Reuters.

If your business focuses on government contracting, you can tailor Microsoft Dynamics CRM to help you manage your business development efforts. Out of the box, Dynamics CRM is missing some of the data elements you will need to track opportunities, and the standard business processes will probably not match your requirements.
You may want to consider how you approach marketing and determine whether or not you want to use the Leads entity or purchase mailing lists for marketing purposes. Our experience is that many traditional marketing approaches do not work well for government customers. One reason is that government separates the people who need products and services from people who purchase them.
You can populate the Accounts entity with all the agencies and sub-agencies that you sell to. Be sure to enter the data to reflect the hierarchical nature of government agencies, departments, branches and offices. This data is available from several sources for import if you would like to speed up the process. You should be sure to enter the purchasing contacts as well as the actual customers for your company.
Opportunities requires the greatest number of additional fields such as contract type, contract vehicle, and provisions for the key dates in the proposal process such as sources sought, request for information, request for proposal, orals, and best and final offer.
If, like most government contractors, you join teams for contract pursuits, but sure to customize Dynamics CRM so that the teaming relationships are accurately reflected.
SharePoint is an excellent tool for managing the proposal documents. Dynamics CRM has built-in integration with SharePoint, but you may want a more sophisticated approach to create document libraries and assign proposal roles.
InfoStrat's Dynamics CRM solution for government contractors provides these customizations and additional features to streamline the government contract sales process.

Posted on 10/18/2007 3:00:06 PM PDT by DogByte6RER
Quebec legislature bans word 'weathervane'
Speaker says its hurtful and a slur after Charest called Dumont a weathervane one too many times
October 16, 2007
QUEBEC Politicians in Quebec's legislature will have to come up with a new way to slag their opponents now that the word "weathervane" has been added to the list of unparliamentary language.
Speaker Michel Bissonnet judged the word to be "hurtful" as the legislature resumed Tuesday after the summer break.
Premier Jean Charest has called Opposition Leader Mario Dumont a weathervane on numerous occasions recently, elevating him on Tuesday to "national weathervane" during the legislature session.
Charest made the crack near the end of the heated debate as he reiterated his belief that the Action democratique du Quebec leader is like a weathervane in the wind because he is always changing directions.
Charest said that while Dumont once called for the Caisse de depot et placement pension fund manager to intervene less in Quebec's economy, now he wants the Caisse to buy up large Montreal-based firms whenever foreign investors take an interest in them.
On Tuesday, Charest used the word in discussing infrastructure.
Bissonet decided enough was enough and ruled that the weathervane comment was out of line.
Charest insisted calling Dumont a weathervane is fair comment and tried to just withdraw the word "national" in calling Dumont the ``national weathervane." The premier asked whether the word weathervane is on the list of unparliamentary language.
Bissonett replied that it is now.
"I find that this is unparliamentary and hurtful," Bissonet said.
On the other hand, Pauline Marois used her maiden speech in the legislature as leader of the Parti Quebecois to talk about the type of Quebec she wants to see in the future.
Marois said she will fight for sovereignty, a secular society and the protection of the French language.
She said new immigrants should respect Quebec values, which include the French language, equality of men and women, and the rights of children.
"These are the sorts of values that must be accepted by new arrivals to be members of our family," she said.
Marois noted that "Quebec is not perfect but it is our country."
She said Quebecers do not want violence.
"We don't want to reproduce here the many conflicts that exist between countries, religions and cultures."
Marois, the first woman to be elected PQ leader, said sovereignty is the best option for the province.
Marois and Dumont also criticized Charest on his efforts to help the struggling forestry and manufacturing sector.
Charest said economic development will be his priority in the new session of the legislature.
The premier is leading a minority government with 48 seats, compared with 41 for the ADQ and 36 for the PQ.
Some thinned skinned politician will try to ban the word "flip flop" by saying that this too is hate speech?
Reminds me of my favorite insult of all time - "You look like you play golf". :o)
Just a "finger" will do.
LOLOL!! Good point, and true. Wonder what the new word will be when you go to buy those the next time if this happens?
Someone took the word "God" out of the new animated film "The Ten Commandments".
what! you called me a weathervase you $%$%$##!!!
Now what? Should Boston sue Quebec because Eric Gagne's presence was "hurtful" to the Red Sox Nation?
Don't like weathervane? How about achene?
The word "God" has been sanitized from the animated film "The Ten Commandments?"
Who made this astoundingly stupid call?
What is the new story line supposed to be? Did the tablets just "evolve" from the mountain by themselves?
Maybe Moses is portrayed more in the likeness of Charles Darwin?
"Dont like weathervane? How about achene?"
How about pinhead.
Thats been banned too. Please place yourself under arrest.
A paraphrase of weathervane. Much more artistic if not quite as satisfying as pinhead.
weathervane! There! I said it!
Quebec legislature bans word 'weathervane'
Speaker says its hurtful and a slur after Charest called Dumont a weathervane one too many times
Weathervane, weathervane, weathervane!

Last week I got to try a new line of products: Bask & Bloom Essentials, LLC during my wash day. While this line of products is new, I'm very familiar with the owner, as she recently changed the name of her company from L.A.C.E. to Bloom & Bask. I'll have a product review on these products later this week.
Since my hair was stretched from my last style, I used a paddle brush to thoroughly detangle then I hoped in the shower and proceeded with wash day.

Surprisingly it only took about two hours to wash, condition and style my hair. Once I got out of the shower I put in some twists for a twist out later in the week.

I just found this video and would like to share it with you. I am an old lurker here, registered sometime in February, but still do not post much, prefere to read. I like this forum very much, this is why I am here every day, mostly as a "guest." This is a very interesting video, it basically shows that Rockeffeler knew about September 11 eleven months before it happened and explains the purpose of microchiping, if this is the right expression. Anyway, elite is a very important word here. We, ordinary people, are considered sheep.

We visited this restaurant on two occasions.The service was excellent and the food was very tasty.We liked the fact that is an historic building.
The atmosphere of this ancient eatery and the rat decor will keep the kids amused as you sip your second or third Stein of excellent Paulaner brew. Excellent food and heaping servings...and outdoor seating when it's not raining. Worth the extra pfennigs.
While it's cuisine is not mind blowing you can taste some very delicious traditional German cuisine and spent some time in uniquely decorated restaurant in the theme of the city. Definitely worth a try.
Historic building. Great meal . Good selection of drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic. Service was excellent.
I had a great dinner at the restaurant with my colleagues. The place is very nostalgic and cute. We ordered different meals and everybody satisfied with his meal. Waitresses are helpful and not all of them perfect in english:)As a result, if you visit hameln,...More
The building was very historic. It was well preserved too. You can feel the famous story inside. There are nice old pictures of Hameln on the walls. Also there are small souvenirs about Rattenfanger and Hameln. When we come to food I should admit that...More
Very tasty traditional food. The calf schnitzel was very tender. Generous servings. Some of the plates are good for two.
This is probably the most touristy restaurant in Hameln. The restaurant is supposedly the Pied Piper's house from the 13th century (I think). Anyway, they specialize in German fare for obvious reasons. It seemed quite authentic. The room decor was more traditional as well. Overall...More
A quirky restaurant around the pied piper theme, Rattenfanger = Rat Catcher i had the plain schnitzel which was good - and as per the german way you get exactly that, a schnitzel on a plate with the adornment, so order your sides! the rest...More
Fantastic original features with this building from the out side and not disappointed once you step through the doors. The staff were very friendly and service was superb. It made our return with friends great.
