Touching, funny, and remarkably true-to-life, Jill Amy Rosenblatt's latest novel explores how the friendships between women only grow stronger with time. . .even when life throws curveballs no one sees coming. . .
Emily, Elizabeth, and Karen are as different as three women can be, but that hasn't stopped them from forging an unbreakable bond. Newlywed Emily, now half of a New York City power couple, would love nothing more than to see her friends settled down with soul mates of their own. But Elizabeth still carries the sting of a past heartbreak, while Karen fears she's destined to repeat her parents' disastrous marriage. Yet even as Emily plays matchmaker, she must ultimately confront a secret truth about her own marriage. . .one that threatens the future she thought was secure. When she does, all three friends will discover that life's paths may turn out to be longer, and harder, than expected, but the twists and turns lead us where we're meant to be. . .
"I told Emily, June is best," he heard a woman say. "There is nothing more romantic than a summer wedding in New York."
He squinted through the smoke at the men in their finely tailored suits; no doubt financial wizards, like the groom. He wondered if Michele had chosen a man like one of these to take his place, to be her next husband. Feeling his blood pressure rise at the thought of his ex-wife, he threw his cigarette down, grinding it into the concrete with the tip of his polished shoe. That was the first and last time he'd be walking down the aisle. Turning, he entered the church.
Inside the narthex, he inhaled the welcome blast of frigid air and shrugged into his jacket. A bridesmaid emerged from aside door. His eyes traveled the length of her, lingering on the rose-colored slip of a dress hugging her slim form. Her blond hair was swept into a neat French twist and she fidgeted with the small bouquet of orchids in her hand. Wondering what scent she wore, he was instantly sorry he wasn't closer. She caught him in his scrutiny, her delicate features furrowing into a frown.
"Which side?" she asked.
Ian couldn't decide whether she was annoyed or bored. "Sorry?"
Her hazel eyes moved over him. "The bride or the groom's side?"
"Neither," Ian said, amused to find himself the subject of her examination.
She pointed to a large book lying open on a stand. "Would you care to write a wish to the happy couple?" "I don't think it will help."
She gave a short, clipped laugh before catching herself. "Your accent-England, no, Scotland."
"Very good."
"You've come a long way to witness a wedding when you have no faith in marriage."
"I didn't say that. It's not for everyone though, is it?"
"Let me guess, it's not for you."
"Not for me, no."
She chuckled, this time without the smile. "Still finding yourself?"
"I'm not lost."
"You need your space."
"My flat is quite roomy." He smiled, enjoying her look of irritation.
She straightened. "A man who knows his own mind, how refreshing." She waved the bouquet toward the chapel. "Sit anywhere you like." Turning on her heel, she disappeared back into the room she had come from.
Entering the sanctuary, Ian spotted Robert maneuvering his sturdy six-foot frame through the clusters of guests chatting and laughing in the aisle. He approached his friend and received Robert's firm handshake.
"Eighty grand on flowers," Robert lamented. "There isn't a pink rose left in Manhattan. What a waste."
"It's not a waste. They'll use them for the divorce party."
Robert gave a laugh.
"How do you know what the flowers cost?"
Robert leaned in. "Because the groom hasn't shut up about it since we got here."
Ian glanced over his shoulder toward the narthex. "Did you notice the girl I was talking to?"
Robert nodded. "That's Karen's friend, Elizabeth, a money manager. Did you notice she's not your type?"
"You don't know what my type is," Ian shot back.
"Oh, I beg to differ. As your oldest friend, I have seen your taste across five countries and two continents. She's not your type."
Ian gave Robert a sharp look.
"But I don't interfere anymore."
They stood in awkward silence.
"If you're that interested, I can put in a good word. If I tell Karen about your many chivalrous exploits, I'm sure it will get back to Liz. Rescuing damsels in distress stranded by no-good boyfriends-"
"It was hardly a rescue."
"Providing room and board to countless weary travelers, including myself."
Ian smirked. "All right, are you done amusing yourself? How much have you told Karen about me?"
Robert shrugged. "Nothing. You told me not to say anything. You haven't even told me what you've been doing for the past two years. Why all the secrecy?"
Ian shrugged, glancing back at the narthex. He thought he caught sight of Elizabeth again. "It's not secrecy. It's a new country, a new life." He turned back to Robert. "Best to leave the past where it is, don't you think?"
"Whatever you want." He gave Ian the once-over. "You're not wearing a tie."
"I was hoping they'd ask me to leave."
"Not a chance. The bride loves you and your no-tie, who-gives-a-shit artist attitude."
"If she truly loved me and my attitude, she would've bought three of my paintings, not one." Ian put his hand on Robert's shoulder. "Now, let's have it. What's your prediction?"
"One year. Then they flame out."
"And you're never wrong."
"Almost never."
Among their friends, Robert's keen understanding of human nature had rendered him a seer. His uncanny aptitude for foretelling the future was an urban legend, with one exception-the happily-ever-after he had predicted for Ian's marriage.
Elizabeth and Karen watched Robert and Ian from the narthex.
"So who's the operator talking to your betrothed?" Elizabeth said, taking in his slicked-back blond hair curling over his open-collared shirt and the short, trimmed beard. She lingered over his slim, wiry frame. I am enjoying this way too much.
"Robert's best friend, Ian MacKay, from Scotland."
But he hasn't been there in a while, Elizabeth thought. The accent was watered down, the thick brogue long gone.
"I don't know that he's an operator, he seems like a good guy. Robert didn't say much about him."
"He wears the most delicious cologne," came a voice from behind them. They turned in unison, finding Emily glowing in her Badgley Mischka gown. It was perfect for her, the scoop neckline revealing the right amount of cleavage, the dropped waist making her five-foot-nine-inch frame seem even taller, more regal. A descendant of a founding father and subsequent captains of industry, Emily's money was as old as her lineage and it showed; she didn't walk, she flowed, her elegance a hallmark of her birthright.
"And, his beard is like velvet," she added.
Elizabeth feigned a look at her watch. "You still have twenty minutes. Would you like to switch grooms?"
Emily rolled her eyes. "I kissed his cheek."
Elizabeth folded her arms.
"Okay, both cheeks, it's the European way." Emily laughed, coloring. "I invited him for tea a few times, strictly business. He's going to paint my portrait."
"And why is this the first I'm hearing about Ian MacKay of Scotland and his beard of velvet?" Elizabeth said, turning an enquiring eye on Karen.
"He just got here," Karen said. "You haven't come up for air since your promotion. I hardly see you anymore."
"Uh-hunh," Elizabeth said, giving Karen a sharp look. "Painting Emily's portrait?"
Karen sighed. "Yes, he's an artist."
Elizabeth gave a disgusted laugh, and headed back to the dressing room.
"Liz, you can't judge all artists by Josh and certainly not by William," Emily said, trailing after her, Karen close behind.
"I do not judge all artists. I simply have an intimate understanding of their basic nature."
"Which you use to judge them," Emily persisted as they entered the dressing room.
Emily held out her hands to draw them into a circle. "Now, my dearest friends, this is it. This is Act Two of our lives." She held up Karen's hand, with its glittering diamond ring. "We've all found our soul mates."
Karen's eyes darkened with concern.
"Now, don't fret, your wedding will be perfect," Emily said. "Lots of people have crazy parents. Who is that philosopher you study?"
"Lao-tzu. Taoism teaches stillness, and giving up fear, anxiety, and control so all things flow naturally to the right ending," Karen said.
"Oh, I love that," Emily squeaked. She turned to Elizabeth. "After Karen and Robert are married, you and Nick will be next. You two are my crowning triumph, a perfect match-and Nick knows it."
"It's only been six months."
"He told Parker you were the one after the first date."
Elizabeth smiled. He knows it, and I know it too. She glanced at Karen and caught her friend's look of doubt.
The wedding planner, flanked by her team, blew into the room. They whisked Emily away, all the while clucking at Elizabeth and Karen to take their places.
"How are you, really?" Elizabeth whispered to Karen as they fell into line for the processional.
Karen sighed. "Did you see Page Six? My parents are at it again. Divorced for ten years and they don't see that as a reason to stop fighting. The Tao says troubles are like rocks in the middle of a stream. The rocks try to interrupt the water's calm flow, but they can't. My parents aren't rocks, they're boulders."
"You haven't told them you're engaged, have you?"
"I couldn't. She's in Europe, on a book tour, but still found time to give a satellite-radio interview. The subject? My father's plagiarism. She quoted chapter and verse from his solo works, claiming it was stuff she wrote when they were married. She can't prove it. She can never prove it. You know when they created audioconferencing, I don't think this is what they had in mind." She sighed. "Twenty years of marriage, twelve books together, and this is how it ends. Actually it doesn't end, it just keeps going."
"What about your father? Did you tell him you were getting married?"
"He's been too busy."
"Is he finishing a new book?"
"No, his fifth marriage."
"I need to remain calm, be still, and it will all work out. The Tao says be flexible and learn to let go of the most important issues. Then they work out by themselves."
If only it were that easy, Elizabeth thought.
The first bars of music began; there was a palpable rustle as the crowd turned in unison toward the door.
* * *
Elizabeth counted silently to five before taking her first step. Making her way down the aisle, feeling the eyes of the crowd on her, brought back a flood of memories; the steps she had taken to the altar. Up ahead she saw Parker, the groom-to-be, whispering something to the minister. For a second he became Josh, her Josh, pulling her aside and whispering that he couldn't go through with it. He was sorry; he didn't mean to hurt her.
It seemed a lifetime ago and yet still fresh as yesterday. She gave herself a mental shake and focused straight ahead. That was almost fifteen years ago. I'm almost thirty-five years old. I'm a grown woman. Why think about the past?
She caught a glimpse of Ian MacKay as she passed by; those deep, blue eyes, the hint of baby-smooth skin peeking out from the corners of his beard. Her eyes rested on him a second too long; she shook off any thought of him, scanning the crowd until she found Nick.
He scanned the room, settling on a woman in an expensive sequined gown. He could tell by the way she held herself she was maintained, but not a pedigree. She was on the arm of a debonair man, with unruly long hair tucked behind his ears, a long angular face; a European. The money was his, not hers. This was the kind of man Michele had left him for, someone able to give her everything she wanted: money, travel, ease. All of the things that weren't coming fast enough being married to me, Ian thought. The art shows weren't big enough, he wasn't the rising star she expected, the enfant terrible she hoped for.
Ian's attention returned to studying the woman. She couldn't compare to Michele. Michele was exquisite, skin like porcelain and azure eyes that cut through you. One look at her and there was no going back. She could have any man she wanted. And there had been several, he found out. Michele had tried them out first, in secret, to see if they had enough to please her before finally making her choice.
Ian could feel his anger rising when a hand settled on his shoulder.
"Let's get a drink," Robert said.
Ian nodded. It was the least they could do to salvage the evening. When they passed Parker, the groom had a glass in one hand, its contents splashing over the side as he waved his arm, describing his real estate empire.
"Thirty thousand square feet," he was saying. "The front entrance will be all marble. Italian. And that's just the main house. I'm putting in a one-thousand-square-foot pool house."
The men clicked glasses and drank to the pool house.
"You know, one of my guys quit last month. I had him on debt acquisition. I buy fifty million in debt from some shithole country-whose name I can't pronounce-for pennies on the dollar. When they default, I send Nick to court, he sues, we win, and that shithole country has to pay me the whole fifty, maybe more."
One of the men spoke up. "In what century will you collect?"
"Any dollar comes into that country, I get first. This guy's whining to me about our moral obligation, aren't we victimizing impoverished nations. I told him, if I wanted to, I could make a few currency bets and change that country's economy in a heartbeat."
He took another swallow of his drink, then laughed, talking almost to himself. "He says we should be safeguarding the economy. I am the economy, asshole. I'm moving the value of currency. He couldn't take the pressure, dickless wonder. You know where he is now? Putting in eighty hours a week at some plain-vanilla mutual fund for a shit bonus check. Good luck with your fiscal responsibility, shithead. I'll be at my compound in Greenwich, stepping out the door to the helipad to bring me to Manhattan."
"To Parker Davis," they said, raising their glasses.
Shaking his head, Ian hunkered down next to Robert at the bar, watching the bartender set up glasses and pour. Taking a long drink, Ian let out a sigh of relief until a heavy slap on his back made him jump and slosh his drink onto the bar.
"Hey, I hope you're enjoying my wedding," Parker said. "You're looking at one and a half million."
Elizabeth was only half-listening to Karen as they lounged at a table by themselves. Her eyes were fixed on Ian MacKay.
"I still don't understand the change in attitude. Not six months ago you said having Emily as a matchmaker is like asking an arsonist to house-sit. She's broken more engagements than her nails. Are you listening to me?"
"At least she had the right idea. She left them." She should have left one more. Why did a woman who made her society debut at Le Bal Crillon marry a low-life like Parker Davis?
"Liz, how is it really going with Nick?"
"Fine." Elizabeth continued to stare out into the crowd. "He's kind and attentive. He takes me to dinner and sends me flowers. We discuss matters of business because we share common interests. Is there something wrong with a serious, focused man? He's a grown-up."
Karen was silent for a moment. When she spoke her voice sounded hurt. "Robert's a grown-up. You don't have to be in business to be a grown-up."
Elizabeth turned to Karen. "Of course not. I didn't mean it that way. Robert is a brilliant writer and so are you. I'm sorry I've been so busy with the job and these dinners with Emily and Parker. That doesn't change us or our friendship. But this relationship with Nick is what I want now."
"Sometimes I think I made a mistake convincing you to come to New York. You had a life in California."
Elizabeth turned to give her friend a sharp look. "What life?"
"A life as a painter."
"I was a painter. I'm not anymore. Are we going to go through this again?"
"Liz, you can't keep punishing yourself for what your mother did. She hurt herself. You didn't hurt her."

Microsoft to offer a paid version of its internal Cosmos big-data service
Microsoft is privately testing a public-facing version of its Cosmos big-data service, which features new analysis and storage engines, plus a new SQL-IP language.
Microsoft is privately testing a public-facing version of its Cosmos big-data service, which features new analysis and storage engines, plus a new SQL-IP language.
After just a few days of using Manjaro Linux, here is a list of my favorite features so far.
The idea of virtualizing a function and then separating its management functions and them putting them under programmatic control has gotten quite a bit of attention in the market over the last year. We've heard about software defined networks, storage, and even whole data centers. Is support of only x86-based systems and their workloads enough?
FoundationDB wants developers to stop reaching for a traditional RDBMS as the answer to every data management problem.
Orion Health turns the key on its population health management solution delivering data between Blue Shield California and Cal INDEX.
System monitoring can be expensive and difficult, but it doesn't have to be. Pulseway changes the enterprise monitoring and management game with its mobile management solution. Now you can receive alerts and manage your systems from anywhere on any device. Monitor and manage all of your Windows, Linux, and Mac servers and workstations with a simple app on your mobile device.
Microsoft's MDOP 2014 R2 set of management and deployment tools for Windows, adds new application and user-experience virtualization features.
The creative software giant tacked on more personalization and geo-location features to the latest Marketing Cloud iteration, leveraging iBeacon compatibility to steer customers toward data-driven marketing.
Big data management is a work in progress for virtually any business these days, and Facebook's momentum in this regard shows no sign of slowing down.
Microsoft is taking steps toward delivering on its cross-platform device, application and data management with new Office 365 capabilities.
Microsoft joins a push towards ARM servers that have been building up for years.
SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 is available today. And with it SLES 12 brings several significant new features and extensions to the desktop and to the datacenter.
Windows 10 will build in standards-based two-factor authentication to every device, effectively neutering most phishing attacks and password database breaches. The company also announced new features aimed at securing corporate machines from malware attacks and data leaks.
Apple is ruffling features by collecting search and location data from OS X Yosemite users through Spotlight features that some argue should be off by default.
The company, which has a popular work management and collaboration tool, has added new visualization features that show enterprises the moving process and people parts.
The platform combines the Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub with EMC's Isilon scale-out storage to make silos of application data available for business analytics.
Apple's new mobile OS is now available, and IT managers need to know how to handle its new features. We examine what the leading Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) vendors have to offer on the subject.
LinkedIn says the new security features will help users keep their accounts secure and better manage their personal data.
Microsoft is adding iOS and Windows Phone email-profile provisioning and IE 11 Enterprise Mode support to its Windows Intune device-management service.
Intigua believes that the movement towards software defined data centers, networks, storage and the increasing reliance on virtualization technology means that companies need new tools to manage their management products.

Trainer Shark Hanlon hopes Hidden Cyclone has the necessary improvement in him to take his game to the next level in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown on December 27.
Not beaten far by Cheltenham Gold Cup ante-post favourite Sir Des Champs at Leopardstown in January, the seven-year-old missed the end of last season with injury but appears to have returned better than ever.
After making a winning return at Naas a month ago, he followed up with a comprehensive defeat of the talented Call The Police at Navan on Sunday and is now set for a step up to Grade One level.
Hanlon said: "He's come out of the race super, he's as fresh as a daisy and all going well he'll go for the Lexus. We're delighted with him at the moment. He's had his two runs back, he's done everything right and his jumping has come right.
"He is still a long way behind a horse like Flemenstar on the ratings, but we're hoping he's still improving. Probably his best performance so far was over two miles and seven (furlongs) in Navan, so three miles won't be a bother to him.
"We'll look forward to the Lexus and we'll certainly know a lot more after that."
Meanwhile, Hanlon is on the lookout for a prospective new owner for impressive point-to-point winner Rare Legend.
The five-year-old won under JT McNamara at Boulta over the weekend and although he has an imminent engagement with the sales ring, Hanlon is desperate for him to stay in the yard for his career under Rules.
Hanlon said: "He is a very nice horse and won his point-to-point on Sunday at Boulta, which is one of the best point tracks in Ireland. He is by Stowaway and I think he's going to be very smart.
"He'll be ready to run under Rules before too long, but he is entered in the sales on Friday. Hopefully someone buys him and keeps him with me as he is a horse I like an awful lot."

Guild Wars 2 Will Be Free In China
ArenaNet and their Chinese publishing partners KongZhong today calmed the fears of many as they announce that Guild Wars 2 will stick with the free-to-play revenue model when it's released in China. Like the European and American version players will have to purchase the original client but the same revenue model will apply, so no monthly subscription will be required.
"Chinese players will get the same premium MMO gaming experience that Guild Wars 2 players in North America and Europe enjoy, with consistent and timely content updates," said Mike O'Brien, president and co-founder of ArenaNet. "Guild Wars 2 China will be synchronized with the worldwide version of the game."
It's exciting news ahead of the March 11th closed beta date for China. Guild Wars 2 quickly became the fastest selling MMO in the West after its launch and all signs point to similar success in the East.

From the UK Telegraph, a right wingie MSM, guess that this is not working as well as expected.. this along with the absent Iraqi Parliament on vacation is troubling... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/mai...FFOAVCBQWIV0?xml=/news/2007/07/28/wirq128.xml Relations between the top United States general in Iraq and Nouri al-Maliki, the country's prime minister, are so bad that the Iraqi leader made a direct appeal for his removal to President George W Bush. Although the call was rejected, aides to both men admit that Mr Maliki and Gen David Petraeus engage in frequent stand-up shouting matches, differing particularly over the US general's moves to arm Sunni tribesmen to fight al-Qa'eda. One Iraqi source said Mr Maliki used a video conference with Mr Bush to call for the general's signature strategy to be scrapped. "He told Bush that if Petraeus continues, he would arm Shia militias," said the official. "Bush told Maliki to calm down." At another meeting with Gen Petraeus, Mr Maliki said: "I can't deal with you any more. I will ask for someone else to replace you."
If we don't listen to the Prime Minister, I think that makes us an occupying force as opposed to a liberating force.
Of course Maliki wants him out. The sooner the better. The quicker Petraeus gets out (and us too), the quicker his shia death squads can commense the slaughter of all those dirty sunni scum. Maliki is a peice of sh!t. He is one of the big huddles to making any progess over there. You guys are right, we need to get the fukc out of that crap hole and let those savages commence to killing each other.
When I have a blister, I pop it. Better than to let it fill with puss and get infected and then have to amputate the finger. Sometimes a little violence and pain is better in the long run.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — An Israeli wanted in Colombia for training paramilitary groups that killed hundreds of people has returned home after being released from a jail in Moscow.
Former military officer Yair Klein arrived at Israel's Ben Gurion airport on Saturday. He had been held in Russia since 2007 pending an extradition request.
The European Court of Human Rights recommended in April that Klein not be extradited for fear he would not receive a fair trial.
Klein was sentenced in absentia to nearly 11 years in prison for helping train far-right paramilitary groups in the 1980s. The groups were responsible for mass murder and widespread land theft during more than a decade-long reign of terror across Colombia's countryside.
Klein says he only instructed them in defense tactics.

Call it a case of honey laundering.
US officials said Wednesday they had mounted a sting operation against two major firms illegally importing honey from China and selling it on the American market, avoiding $180 million in anti-dumping duties.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) described the bust as "one of the largest criminal anti-dumping cases in history."
The offence involved Chinese honey either being mis-declared as another commodity or trans-shipped through other countries such as India, Russia and Thailand to avoid trade duties.
Five people have been arrested and charged and the two firms, Honey Holding of Texas and Groeb Farms of Michigan, agreed to pay fines of $1 million and $2 million respectively.
Washington was abuzz with news of the bust, and lawmakers could not resist the urge to spread the puns on thick.
"This successful sting operation is sure to be a buzz kill for would-be honey smugglers," US Senator Charles Schumer said in a statement.
"For too long, foreign smuggling of this product has created a sticky situation for domestic honey producers. We need a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to honey laundering."
ICE deputy director Daniel Ragsdale, who announced the results of what he dubbed "Project Honeygate", deployed a less successful metaphor, warning cryptically: "Honey is just the tip of the iceberg."
"Schemes like this result in legitimate importers and the domestic honey-producing industry enduring years of unprofitable operations, with some even being put out of business," he said.
Dozens of other commodities imported into the United States under false descriptions or origins, authorities said, costing the US taxpayer billions of dollars in lost import duties.
Ragsdale was quick to insist there was "no health and safety risk" despite some of the 4,900 barrels of seized honey being adulterated with antibiotics not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
Honey is often filtered to remove bee pollen, which can be used to trace the honey's origin.
The operation was the second phase of a broad investigation that began in 2008 and resulted in earlier charges of 14 persons.
Ragsdale said authorities from China and other countries had cooperated with US agents in the case, but did not go into details.
US honey producers cheered the Project Honeygate case.
"We as an industry have been working hard to get customs to crack down," George Hansen, who heads the American Beekeeping Federation, told AFP.
"But every time they close one avenue, the cheaters find another way."
US honey production has been in steady decline, thanks to rising costs and a condition known as colony collapse disorder, in which bees from a hive suddenly disappear.
The phenomenon is a growing concern for beekeepers and farmers. About one third of the global food supply is dependent directly or indirectly on crop pollination by honey bees, according to the FDA.
The United States is a net honey importer, with two-thirds of honey consumed in the country last year coming from other countries, Hansen said.

The mix of light and dark, though the "K" is trite and the seats look uncomfortable.
A bit like a hotel, but it looks clean, comfortable and restful

"I personalized the green in the address labels and made it emerald green to reflect my wedding colors. Simple but elegant design."
"I used these labels for our RSVP envelopes. They came out beautifully. For the name section we used my last name - my fiance's last name. Matches our invitations and was a great item to tie the theme all together. The price for these labels is very reasonable. Would highly recommend."
"The labels turned out beautiful and exactly as I hoped they would be. I had some trouble lining up the fonts so the address was on the proper lines but with the help of a representative, it was done perfectly. The labels also arrived super quick and I had them in time to include in my daughters wedding shower gift."
"I love how well our cards & labels turned out! Not only did they turn out great but they arrived so fast. I will definitely be ordering our wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas!"
"Used these for sticker info on back of save the date postcards for our wedding website !! Larger than I expected (twice the size of your average thin address label... Which made them perfect!). Great design review too! Happy happy ;)"

Fear-mongering, arrogance and bureaucratic bullying. By such tools, Donald Rumsfeld became one of the most powerful, most unpopular and ultimately most unsuccessful Pentagon chiefs in history. Any doubts about that judgement have been removed by the publication this week in The Washington Post of a selection of his "snow-flakes" – the short memos the former defence secretary was wont to fire off daily in scores to his staff. They pestered, they irritated, and on occasion they terrorised their recipients. Together, they give a depressing snapshot of the modus operandi of their boss, as he presided over the debacle in Iraq.
"Keep elevating the threat. Talk about Somalia and the Philippines," Mr Rumsfeld urged in April 2006 as Iraq fell apart and eminent former generals broke cover to demand his resignation. "Make the American people realise they are surrounded in the world by violent extremists." In the same vein, he suggested re-branding the war on terror a "worldwide insurgency". He seems to have had as much scorn for Arabs as for "Old Europe", noting in a May 2004 rumination that oil had made Muslims forget "the reality of work, effort and investment that leads to wealth for the rest of the world".
Not least the snowflakes underline the mendacity inherent in Mr Rumsfeld's style. Whenever pushed into a corner at a Pentagon briefing, he would wriggle free by claiming that he was not involved in a particular decision, that he had not had the time to read an embarrassing article, memo or leaked internal report. Any mistakes, he implied, were made by underlings. In fact, as the memos prove, he was an obsessive micromanager, who knew everything that was going on.
Most depressing, however, while the man himself has gone, his methods remain. Mr Rumsfeld was forced from his job in November 2006, after the Republican midterm election defeat for which his mismanagement of the war was largely responsible. His successor, Robert Gates, has a low-key, cautious and thoughtful style, far removed from the abrasive Rumsfeld. But the scare-mongering continues. Be it the use of torture or the threat posed by Iran, this White House (still featuring Mr Rumsfeld's ally Dick Cheney) trots out the same justification: America is in mortal peril, and all means are justified. In other words, as the departed, unlamented master would put it: "Keep elevating the threat."

Oct 17, 2011 ~ me & my hairy houseguest
by Lissa
posted Oct 17 2011 10:40AM
It's bad enough that in the last week I've seen a hypodermic needle, a broken gin bottle, and a used condom all on my sidewalk. NOW….. I caught a MOUSE in my house! Ewwww!!! What if the mouse is responsible for all that crap on my sidewalk? What if I just caught myself a giant heroin addicted, drunken, slut mouse? If so - sweet. Problem solved.
I swear to God sometimes my neighborhood is a testing grounds for sociological experimentation. It's like "how many ghetto stereotypes can we cram into a five block radius?" What's a normal neighborhood? Ten or fifteen? If so, I think we can crack thirty! Yeah! We're number one!!
But now in addition to my enchanting human potpourri, I've got VERMIN! Yay!
I freaked out when I first saw this mouse Friday afternoon. I was supposed to be napping, but I couldn't sleep knowing he was near me. I set four mouse traps and proceeded to lie there awake (with the covers carefully piled on top of me so they didn't dangle off the bed) til I heard a *SNAP*!!
I ran over to check it. Sure enough, dead mouse. Happy Lissa. Kay. But then……ohhhhh then…..um….who's gonna dispose of this thing? I texted my dad – "
Daddy!!! I just killed a mouse in a snappy trap! When will you be over to collect him?"
Of course I was being foolish cuz my parents live in Michigan, and they're obviously not driving to PA just so their nutjob daughter doesn't hafta touch a mouse trap. But he texted right back "
Ha – on my way
". Oooo. Smartass.
My mom texted a couple "Fred Bear" references (wouldn't Nugent be proud?) and told me to just throw away the whole trap, mouse and all. So that's what I did. I put on rubber gloves, used plastic tongs to pick the damn thing up, and threw it in the trash. Then I threw out the tongs AND the gloves and placed my trash immediately on the curb. I'm still having trouble sleeping in my house. Varmints gimme the heebie jeebies! I can't shake the feeling that they're setting up little villages in my walls. A whole colony of heroin addicted drunken slut mice. Ah well, at least they're quieter than the human ones.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

- Ram teams with Shazam® to deliver an interactive mobile experience targeting the Hispanic market

"His music and his persona encapsulate the essence of the Ram 1500 pickup – the most capable truck for every professional and lifestyle need. Both Juanes and Ram embody the 'A Todo, Con Todo' spirit, giving everything they've got to everything they do."
Juanes debuts his song "Cumbia Sexy" in three new television commercials focusing on the class-leading innovations of the 2013 Ram 1500 and the values of both Hispanic culture and Ram Truck brand. The first two spots, 60-second "Anthem" and 30-second "Big Stage," debut Nov. 15 during the Univision broadcast of the 2012 Latin Grammy awards, where Juanes is nominated for four awards and will perform during the telecast. Leading up to the Latin Grammy awards, Ram and Juanes are both engaging their respective Facebook and Twitter social media fan bases to promote the partnership and the song and TV spot debuts.
"Ram is proud to have a Latin music superstar of Juanes' magnitude as a partner for the launch of our new Ram 1500 truck," said Fred Diaz, President and CEO – Ram Truck Brand and Chrysler de Mexico. "His willingness to accept challenges and dedication to doing what's right make him an authentic brand ambassador for Ram's 'A Todo, Con Todo' campaign. The new Ram 1500 symbolizes the brand's commitment to hard work, determination and dependability – values that are part of the Latino culture, and are also the bedrock for the principles that propelled Juanes to his success as an artist and social activist."
"I am extremely excited to be working with Ram trucks on such a far-reaching bilingual campaign," said Juanes. "It gives me an opportunity to share new music with a broad global audience while supporting a brand I believe in and is a dependable daily presence in the lives of many of my fans." Juanes will drive up to the Latin Grammy ceremony in a 2013 Ram 1500.
Ram is partnering with Shazam to create an interactive mobile experience for Hispanic consumers. During the Latin Grammy awards, viewers who have the Shazam App on their mobile phones or tablets will be able to tag the Juanes ads for expanded content on the new Ram Truck landing pages about the artist as well as information on the Ram 1500 truck. The free Shazam App can be downloaded in advance from the Ram landing pages, Shazam.com and every major app store.
The bilingual "A Todo, Con Todo" campaign will run globally. In addition to airing in the United States, the spots featuring Juanes will begin airing in Mexico on Nov. 16, and will be rolled out in Latin America in early 2013.
The "A Todo, Con Todo" TV ads were produced in Spanish and English and will run on national Spanish-language TV networks Univision and Telemundo, and local TV stations in key Hispanic markets. The spots also will be available for viewing on the Ram Truck brand's YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/RamTrucks.
"A Todo, Con Todo" radio ads featuring an instrumental version of Juanes' "Cumbia Sexy" song will air in major U.S. Hispanic markets. Print ads for the campaign will appear in national Spanish- and English-language Hispanic magazines, including Automundo and ESPN Deportes La Revista, and in English- and Spanish-language newspapers in top-volume U.S. Hispanic markets for Ram trucks.
Trucks are one of the top-selling segments among Latinos and the Ram 1500 and 2500 are among the best performing Chrysler Group nameplates with these consumers, Diaz explained. Ram first introduced the "A Todo, Con Todo" concept in a Hispanic ad campaign in 2011.
"A Todo, Con Todo" TV AdsThe 30-second "Big Stage" ad highlights how the best-in-class 25 mpg highway fuel economy of the new 2013 Ram 1500 provides more control and fewer stops on one's "drive for success."
"Suspension," the third spot featuring Juanes and "Cumbia Sexy," debuts later. The 30-second ad celebrates how the class-exclusive active air suspension found in the new Ram 1500 helps make "rising to the challenge a regular occurrence."
The Ram Truck brand also will launch other Hispanic-market programs this fall as part of the "A Todo, Con Todo" campaign, including a partnership with Univision Radio, sponsorship of La Banda Ram on the Yahoo! En Español channel, and sponsorship of the Mexican Fútbol soccer League.
The "A Todo, Con Todo" campaign was created by Dallas-based Richards/Lerma agency, the Hispanic marketing arm of The Richards Group.
About JuanesWith six solo albums to his credit and multi-platinum sales of over 15 million copies, Juanes is the world's leading all-Spanish language rock artist --both a GRAMMY and 17-time LATIN GRAMMY winner with eight #1 singles on Billboard's "Hot Latin Songs" chart. Juanes is also frequently recognized as one of the Spanish-speaking world's leading social media voices with an online following of over 10 million fans. The Colombian superstar's dedication as a global activist also extends far beyond his passionate lyrics and is seen in his wide ranging charitable work for his own Mi Sangre Foundation and as a co-founder of the "Paz sin Fronteras" (Peace Without Borders) organization, which utilizes music to unite populaces regardless of political or geographic divides and advocates that all people are entitled to the basic human right of peace.
"JUANES MTV Unplugged" was released in May 2012 and quickly debuted at #1 on Billboard's "Top Latin Albums" chart and in 18 countries throughout Latin America. The CD/DVD finds Juanes collaborating with Latin music legend Juan Luis Guerra, who acted as music director, and sharing duets with special guests Joaquín Sabina and Paula Fernándes. The album's first single "La Señal" reached #1 on the "Hot Latin Songs" chart, giving Juanes the 8th #1 song of his career. Juanes has been called "the single most important figure of the past decade in Latin music" (Los Angeles Times); "the first truly international rock star to emerge from Latin America" (Associated Press); and "Latin America's hottest singer-songwriter… a soulful poet with electric guitar" (New York Times).

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys. Feb. 1, 2015 02:00 AM EST Reads: 3,194 |

I honestly didn't know Chris Rock had this in him. As a stand-up, Rock is one of the greats. The way he evolved was incredibly impressive, and by the time he released "Bring The Pain," he was in complete command of his craft. He knew how to ride an audience to victory. On film, though, I don't think Rock has ever even approached mastering things the way he has with live performance. He's done stuff I've enjoyed, and one of the things that made his early work noteworthy was just how extreme he was. His scene in "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" was one of that film's biggest laughs for me. For literally years afterwards, the thought of "One rib!" would kill me all over again. He got to play with Eddie Murphy in "Boomerang," and I remember being excited to see the two of them in a scene, knowing »

Amongst other things, this weekend's release of A Haunted House 2 might make you wonder: Why are the Wayans brothers? That's not an incomplete thought, but a reflection of the existential malaise the barely-were comedians now inspire. Between this movie, its predecessor, a pair of Scary Movies, White Chicks, Dance Flick, and Little Man, Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory have racked up an embarrassment of embarrassments. Still, at least one Wayans has produced a good movie. 1988's I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, written, directed by, and starring Keenen Ivory, is everything their recent efforts are not. While both Scary Movies and both A Haunted House movies look down on the horror genre they send up, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka lovingly sends up tropes used in blaxploitation films like Shaft, Dolemite, and Super Fly. In his film, Keenen Ivory broke the genre down to a main theme: black protagonists' »
