When it comes the political left's favorite Islamists, they have chosen a champion in Linda Sarsour. You may have seen her on a CBS panel of ordinary Muslim Americans. Perhaps you've seen her discussing the struggles of fasting on Ramadan in a new Huffington Post video; or, maybe you read the glowing profile of her last year in The New York Times.
Sarsour is the executive director of the Arab American Association of New York (AAANY). She is an activist with political aspirations and she makes it a point to be seen at the events of any and every social justice cause known to man. Recently, she was featured on the cover of the ACLU's magazine Stand. Her activism even led her to be honored by the White House as a "champion of change." Because of her close connection to New York Mayor, Bill de Blasio, her organization AAANY was able to secure millions in funding from the Mayor's Fund.
Last year, Sarsour caused a stir when she announced that she was going to the Democratic National Convention as an at-large delegate and couldn't decide if she was "going to behave or not." In an interview with Politico, Sarsour explained that "not behaving is protesting" and that "the onus is on the party to make sure our voices are heard."
Who is the real Linda Sarsour, and what views does she "voice" that need to be heard? Here are a few things the journalists writing glowing reviews of Sarsour kept out of their articles.
When she wasn't busy vainly promoting herself and vying for people's attention, she was stumping for Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders. According to the leftist Israeli newspaper Haaretz, she told a crowd of Bernie supporters in New York that she supports him because he "cares about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." Sanders has been strongly critical of Israel.
Sarsour likes to highlight her support for a Jewish presidential candidate, and has made pronouncements condemning the use of anti-Semitic language. She has received condemnation from her Palestinian compatriots for recognizing Israel's existence. However, she herself has a long history of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel statements.
In addition to supporting the discriminatory and terror-tied BDS Movement, she claims that "nothing is creepier" than the Jewish right to self-determination. She regularly jumps onto Twitter to attack Israel.
She has hysterically claimed that Muslim kids are being "executed" in the United States, and claims that the CIA was behind the underwear bomber.
She falsely claims that "Palestine existed before the State of Israel," and expresses hopes to one day "bring back" a Palestinian State. No such State has ever existed. She has promotes the misleading image of Israel that describes the "loss" of Palestinian lands, which was once used by MSNBC. MSNBC later admitted the image was false.
She has called for people to show solidarity with Muhammad Allan, a member of the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Allan has a history of recruiting suicide bombers.
Despite having a wife in the spotlight, Sarsour's husband, Maher Judeh (a.k.a., Maher Abo Tamer) believes that Muslim women should censor themselves on social media, saying "they can socialize on Facebook with friends but to an extent [sic]." Judeh works as a cashier at a deli/convenience store in Brooklyn. The deli is known for selling alcohol to minors.
In the past, Judeh has expresses a fondness for Fatah. He praised Palestinian Authority police officer Amjad Sukkari "Abu Omar" as a hero. Sukkari carried out a shooting attack at a checkpoint in Israel. He mourned the death of the brothers (and Hamas "master terrorists") Adel and Imad Awadallah. [1] [2] [3] [4]. Judeh has also spoken of the founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), George Habash, in glowing terms. Habash has been describes by some as the "godfather of Middle East terrorism." Judeh at one point in time was allegedly facing deportation.
Sarsour has solicited donations for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF). This is an organization whose founder, Stephen Sosebee, has justified acts of terrorism attacks as "revenge." PCRF regularly took money from the Hamas fundraising group The Holy Land Foundation; PCRF was also considered a "Partner Organization" of Al-Awda, the Palestinian Right To Return Coalition.
Al-Awda is an organization that promotes the destruction of the State of Israel and the views of terrorist groups. It routinely utilizes the slogan "from the river to the sea," a clear call for Israel's destruction.
Al-Awda co-founder and Hezbollah fan, Abbas Hamideh, categorizes Jews as either "real Jews" or "Zionists." He regularly praises Hezbollah and their leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, calling him "the most honorable man on the face of the earth." Additionally, Hamideh calls for the entire region to be ethnicallycleansed of Jews (all in the name of 'justice' of course).
Sarsour has more than just a third degree association with Al-Awda and Hamideh. She has attended numerous rallies sponsored by Al-Awda; promoted and solicited donations for their events; and she has spoken at their rallies. You can regularly find Sarsour and Hamideh playfully teasing each other on Twitter [1] [2] [3].
Not only is Sarsour associated with Hezbollah groupies, in a 2004 article, Sarsour revealed that men pictured in an Arab newspaper recruiting suicide bombers for Hamas were relatives and friends. One of them was her brother-in-law.
In addition to her associations, Sarsour's finances are suspect as well. AAANY financial disclosure forms show she does not receive a high salary for her 50 hour per week job (50 hours according to the forms). She claims that she chooses work that does not pay big bucks, often describing herself as a "struggling activist." She even needed to create a GoFundMe campaign in order to pay for her attendance as a delegate at the Democratic National Convention.
This all seems consistent, yet in 2013, while kibitzing with her Hezbollah-loving bestie Hamideh, she remarked that she does not get money back while when filing taxes. This is fascinating. A "struggling" working mother of three, who needed to publicly solicit funds just to travel 90 miles from New York to Philadelphia, does not get any money back when filing taxes? Perhaps, her husband makes a sizable income?
This financial inconsistency, while perhaps small, may be the subject of future scrutiny should she consider running for political office in the future.
Sarsour is seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party. However, when she's not busy with narcissistic self-promotion, she spews hatred. As the Democratic National Convention grows closer, it will become more apparent that Democrats need to take a hard look at the people they see as role models.

Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: filmoteca-canal7.blogspot.com - taringa.net - classichorror.free-online.co.uk - vampyres.com - horrorblips.dailyradar.com - fr.wikipedia.org - ftvdb.bfi.org.uk - taliesinttlg.blogspot.com: ½Insomnie is an obscure short film (it comes in around the 15 minute mark) that was created during a period when the clown, comedian and filmmaker Pierre ╔taix was creating many acclaimed films. Due to a legal dispute most of this body of work is unavailable. Indeed this does not appear on imdb and, as you will be able to tell from the screenshots, it has been lifted from a video tape recording. All this is a shame because the film deserves recognition as an amazing little short. It is silent and yet perfectly explores the gothic vampire genre and fits it in with an amusing, comedic look at a man with insomnia. Indeed we begin with the man who takes some tablets but, when he still cannot sleep, picks up a vampire novel and begins to read. The film cuts to a castle. We see wax melting down a candlestick and then the film lingers over cameos. We see that the candelabrum is carried by a woman in a nightdress. There is a noise and we see the door of the castle being bared by her father, who kisses her goodnight as she retires. He places a cross upon the wall and then takes a seat before the fire. We see a coffin in the basement, and then the fatherÆs cross slides down the wall, falling to the floor. A hand slowly emerges from the coffin. The wife of the reader touches him with her hand and he jumps, mopping his brow before reading on. We see the coffin open, a vampire opens his eyes and as his mouth opens it reveals the sharp fangs of the undead. The vampire rises, casting shadows as he moves in moments harking back to Nosferatu and the legacy that film introduced. A shadow falls over the reader, cast by his wifeÆs knee that she has lifted in her sleep. The vampire enters the room in which the father now sleeps before the fire. He rips the hand of a clock and presses it against the father's neck... The vampire goes to the daughter who awakens and runs. There is a palpable tension captured in the film as she is chased and then faints. The reader smokes a skull bowled pipe and smoke seems to issue from his wifeÆs nose. The daughter is carried back to bed by æthe heroÆ, then the film suddenly seems shot upside down ¢ the reader realises he has the book upside down. She is back in bed, candles go out, the vampire is there and the camera shakes, as the book shakes in the reader's hand. Eyes on the cover of the book move of their own accord. The hero finds the father, stabbed in the neck, and pauses to take a drinkģ the readerÆs page falls back one accidentally and he re-reads it... the hero finds the father, stabbed in the neck, and pauses to take a drink... There is a scream and the hero bursts into a room and chases the vampire off. The vampire throws a candlestick at the hero but the cock calls and sunlight starts peppering the room, the vampire becomes caught in the light. Eventually there is a cloak upon the floor and, when the hero moves it, we see a bat that is created from dust and this dust blows away. The camera cuts to the girl but she vanishes and then appears and vanishes and then appears as the readerÆs eyes finally begin to close with tiredness. He kisses his wife and goes to sleep. That, you would think, was all but ╔taix codas this marvellous little piece of film with the wife developing fangs as the reader sleeps. The fact that he was able to capture so much tension and atmosphere in a film with no dialogue was great in itself. The contrasting against the reader, with the ensuing gentle comedy, and how the reader effected the film we saw of the book was brilliantly done. ╔taixÆ films deserve to be out and available and this deserves to be better known amongst vampire genre fans╗.

Origin Chronicles: Keeping PromisesPosted: June 1, 2011 Filed under: Blog | Tags: code of ethics, integrity, journalism, Mr. Begle, origin chronicles, Picture Kentucky, promises, relationships, reputation, SPJ, storytelling, wooly worm festival Leave a comment
The relationships you build with your subjects is at the fulcrum of your success or failure as a storyteller. Teeter the wrong way, and you'll smack the ground.
I haven't busted my bottom yet, but I there have been some close calls.
To date, I've forgotten to do two simple tasks that might have strained relationships with my subjects; going to an event, and sending a photo.
Of course, it occurred at Picture Kentucky. One of my subjects was a do-it-all man. Literally. He was the county magistrate, taxidermist, funeral director, grave digger and craftsman. My job was to document him in all his roles.
After spending several hours with him, he invited me to come back to an annual festival at his hometown (The Wooly -Worm festival). I quickly accepted. When a few months went by and time came for the event, I was just too bogged down to go.
I had planned to return with some friends and spend the day, but college life and newsrooms don't allow much free time.
But there are no excuses for breaking promises.
It may not seem like a big deal, but I know Mr. Begle would remember. That's all it takes. The relationship I built with him and the access I had been granted into his life and community might be severed or compromised for future work on that project.
Keeping promises is at the heart of journalism and our ethics. The Society for Professional Journalists even lists it in their code of ethics. (Fourth bullet, third sentence.)
Think of what could happen if you were a beat reporter, and you didn't keep a promise to a vital source of information. Your entire job and career in that beat could be compromised.
As journalists, all we have is our name and integrity. Our reputation allows us to perform our job and let the people trust us as a source of accurate and timely information. Don't go teetering the wrong way.

The European Muslim Heritage and its Role in the Development of Europe
In a keynote lecture pronounced by Professor Salim T S Al-Hassani in September 2003 at the European Parliament in Brussels, he used slides and 3-D animations to outline the impressive heritage which Europe received from the Muslim World which helped trigger the Renaissance. He stressed in particular the need to remember contributions in the development of science and technology in the perspective of building an environment of understanding and mutual appreciation. We publish this text as a vibrant and timely plea for integrating the Muslim dimension into the history of Europe and in particular in the schools' curricula.

Kill The Buzz - Shake (Original Mix)/
Revealed Recordings presents yet another essential talent to emerge from the realms of Breda, this time in the form of recurring new school flavour Kill The Buzz. Having sealed his name on the label's next generation roster with the likes of "Party Hard" and "Bouncing Betty," the young Dutch talent bounces back with optimal force and an air of confidence for his third essential cut for the labels powerful discography. As featured on volume four of Hardwell's Revealed Recordings compilation series, "Shake" tests the waters of summer club fuel with a heavy footed take on the festival anthem. Opting for seamless melodic builds and going heavy on the drops, his signature blend of peak time electro house runs riot throughout the track, sealing yet another party-hard anthem from the fast ascending producer and a label still in heavy rotation on festival and club floors across the globe for 2013.

- The Pulse Live from Canberra with Stephanie Peatling on Kevin Rudd's speech to the National Press Club
Labor's Steve Georganas was part of Julia Gillard's thumping, 71-31 crushing of Kevin Rudd in the February 2012 leadership ballot.
But even then he felt the tug of self-interest, quietly explaining to colleagues: ''She deserved 12 months to turn things around.''
Towards the end of that period, the affable Georganas had seen enough and was instrumental in persuading Gillard's marquee supporters in South Australia, Penny Wong and Mark Butler, to switch back to Rudd.
Polling had identified Hindmarsh as a near-certain gain for the Coalition in a looming anti-Labor landslide.
The inner-Adelaide seat had been hard-won by Georganas in 2004 by just 108 votes, but consolidation since meant a swing of more than 6 per cent was required to see it change hands.
Around the country, however, Labor seats on that margin, even some with twice that buffer, particularly in NSW, had been considered genuinely vulnerable such was the walloping coming Labor's way.
Until now that is.
The return of Rudd has worked better even than was hoped, injecting new life into the contest and suggesting an unlikely win for Labor is at least possible.
Rudd's approach has been calculated, conscientious and cunning - the product of long months of contemplation on the backbench.
It has allowed him to hit the ground running - clocking up nearly 22,000 kilometres of travel, and allowing a series of important and symbolic policy announcements in his first fortnight back.
His prime target has been ''old politics'' but that can be divided into two hemispheres: Tony Abbott's negativity and Labor's sullied brand.
Where Gillard felt she was forced to combat Abbott's aggression with a fight of her own, Rudd has risen above the fray, positioning himself as the new, constructive way forward, and casting the bitter partisan divisions of the past as the country's real enemy.
Rudd's approach has been calculated, conscientious and cunning - the product of long months of contemplation on the backbench.
Like Bob Hawke in 1983, who campaigned on the slogan ''bringing Australia together'', Rudd wants to leverage the patriotism and feel-good factor of a yearning for national unity over social division.
It's a strategy that is already paying off in spades, propelling Rudd to a huge 22-point lead over Abbott as preferred PM, according to a Newspoll that also puts the two sides level-pegging on 50-50 after preferences.
Abbott looks unnerved, briefly resembling Goodfellas mobster Jimmy Two Times during a tense news conference on Tuesday:
''I always said it was going to be a contest. I always said it was going to be a contest and you know, it's the clearest possible choice. It's the clearest possible choice. It's the clearest possible contest.''
The other leg to Rudd's approach has been the attack on union domination of Labor, its so-called faceless men. That started with the spectacular assault on the notoriously fetid culture of the NSW branch via a lightning 30-day federal intervention.
And it was followed this week by an extraordinary revamp of Labor's parliamentary machinery to make it impossible for leaders to be knifed as he was in 2010 (and as he just did to Gillard a fortnight ago).
This was Rudd the Labor movement outsider, taking on a century of vested interests that, his instincts tell him, voters loathe and, his memory tells him, cannot be trusted to stick with him.
Rudd's authority has never been higher than it is right now, yet it may go higher. The party has come back to him on bended knee, desperate for the salvation only he seems capable of.
He is delivering on his part of the bargain, instantly rocketing a dysfunctional, riven rabble back into competitor status. But his price for those who tore him down will be prohibitive.
The people's prime minister is not just lending his party access to the authority he enjoys in voter-land, he's entrenching that public involvement via a series of reforms that will fundamentally alter the balance of power within Labor.
They mean a leader once chosen cannot be removed until the next election and, even then, only in the event of a loss at the polls. In other words, it is not merely the ALP membership that is being empowered, it is the people too.
Yet for all the silo-shattering impact on the cosseted power of unions and their factional agents in the parliamentary Labor Party, the real work of addressing Labor's undemocratic core remains.
This is the next big task and those considering the rule change at a caucus on July 22 are already worrying about what an unremovable Rudd may do if he somehow wins in 2013, then comes after them.
These fears are well-founded. Unions buy their influence in the ALP through affiliation. This dubious process allows them to pay the ALP subscription for a set, but entirely fictional, number of their own members, then deploy those votes as a bloc.
This murky practice runs counter to the push for transparency and is particularly odious given the ALP receives millions of taxpayer dollars to run election campaigns.
Georganas' seat is looking a whole lot safer under Rudd but the price for the unions who backed him and his colleagues in preselections may be high indeed.

A healthy and easy way to make pizza, these Sweet Potato Pizzas use only 5 ingredients and are primal, naturally gluten free, and grain free!
Pizza!! Does anyone else have the dilemma that they live with someone that could eat pizza everyday? That is my boyfriend. I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for some, but there is no way eating pizza multiple times a week would fly for me. I love it on occasion, but can only eat so much bread and cheese without feeling bloated and sluggish.
That is where this recipe for sweet potato pizzas comes from. Instead of the unhealthy refined carbohydrate filled crust, I swapped it out for sweet potatoes! I know you can use gluten free crust, but none of those really remind me of true east coast style crust that I love. The crust is my favorite part, so why bother eating it if it doesn't satisfy my cravings. On the other hand, I could eat sweet potatoes all day. So I figured why not just make them the crust. And it worked! I find these hold up a lot better than zucchini pizza crusts that you might have seen on the interwebs.
These sweet potato pizzas would be a perfect fill for your weekly family pizza night. The key is to just find fat enough sweet potatoes so when you slice them into rounds, you have enough area for the toppings! I did the classic sauce and cheese, but you can really add anything.
Now that football season is around the corner (how it is already September?!), these pizzas would also be perfect for watching your favorite team on Sunday! Michael ate these up, so they are guy approved! I'm sure kids would love them too! I used get down on bagel bites as an after school snack, but these would be the perfect healthy swap.
Check out the video on how to make them!
Sweet Potato Pizza
- 4 large round sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 3/4 cup pizza sauce (sugar free!)
- 1 1/4 cup grated grass fed mozzarella cheese
- optional: red pepper flakes, fresh chopped basil
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Toss the sweet potato slices with avocado oil and salt and pepper. Spread them out evenly on the baking sheets, with about 1 inch between slices.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flip, and then bake for 10 for minutes. They should be golden brown.
- Top each slice with about a teaspoon to tablespoon of pizza sauce (depending on how big the slices are) and a sprinkle of cheese. Bake for another 3-5 minutes until melted.
- Top with fresh basil and red pepper flakes if you want. Enjoy!
What are some of the foods that you or your loved ones could eat everyday?

One of the items most mobile Mac users have on their wish list is a G5-powered PowerBook. Such a device, thus far, seems many months away, to say the least. The current crop of G5 processors, exclusively produced by IBM, require hefty heat management in the form of heat sinks and liquid cooling that canit be easily squeezed into the form factor of a laptop.
All is not lost, however, eWeek reports that IBM believes it has a way to get a G5 to run in a laptop and without it self-destructing, using a new technique called PowerTune. Whatis PowerTune? From eWeek:
IBMis design goal with PowerTune is to balance performance and power consumption. In addition, because the "leakage current" -- the amount of power that trickles away and is wasted -- is significantly higher at finer process technologies, such as used for the 970FX, IBM developed PowerTune.
The design approach somewhat differs from rival Intel Corp., which places as much emphasis on manufacturing as it does on design, if not more. While Intel has aggressively pushed new process technologies into the market, IBM has concentrated upon process improvements, such as silicon-on-insulator and doped silicon. Using materials with a low threshold voltage can improve the clock speed of a chip, but also increases the power lost to leakage current, IBMis Rohrer said.[...]
For example, PowerTune-savvy chip can be asked to drop down to a half or a quarter the rated frequency, or even down into a "deep nap" state where the chip can run at 1/64 of the rated frequency, Rohrer said.
Within each frequency iteration, the processor also can be instructed to run in idle or nap modes, which will reduce the operating voltage of the chip. The combination of voltage and frequency scaling, Rohrer said, will be PowerTuneis advantage, and is a much more flexible power-management scheme than its x86-compatible competitors.
Moreover, power modes can be entered and left relatively quickly, "on the order of several microseconds," Rohrer said. "Anytime you pause on the keyboard, after the time the system has to finish the last instruction, the system can enter deep nap."
This very informative, but lengthy article goes on to discuss PowerTune in more detail, and some of the other hurdles IBM and designers face in bringing the power of the G5 processor to a laptop. You can find the full article at eWeek News.

Honeywell Users Group Conference to Focus on Collaboration Tools
Jun 06, 2013
The future of technology in manufacturing and the state of the workforce will be the focus of Honeywell's annual industrial customer conference June 16-22 in Phoenix.
Approximately 1,000 attendees – representing major oil and gas, refining, chemical, pulp and paper, and metals and mining companies, among others – will participate in the 2013 Honeywell Users Group (HUG) Americas symposium, hosted by Honeywell Process Solutions.
Amid the backdrop of an evolving energy landscape, uncertain global markets, and high-profile safety incidents, attendees will see how the newest technology can help improve the safety, reliability and efficiency of their plants and help them to remain competitive.
In recent years, the conference has helped introduce manufacturers to advancements such as control system virtualization, universal input/output (I/O) technology, and smart instrumentation that have transformed the design and operations of today's industrial processing facilities. This year's event will highlight more than the technology that links the corporate boardroom to the plant floor. Attendees will discuss the growing importance of preventative and corrective services that keep plant automation systems running at top performance levels, while easing the burden on their workers.
Attendees will experience technologies such as Honeywell's Experion Collaboration Station, a large interactive display that uses video and telecommunications capabilities to remotely connect global experts. This approach centralizes operations, and helps personnel analyze events and resolve situations faster. Experion Collaboration Station was introduced at Honeywell's global HUG conferences last year, and will be demonstrated with full capability for the first time in June.

On February 7th, AOL acquired the Huffington Post mothership, and a small army of bloggers watched as founder Arianna rode off to the bank – on the back of the articles they had Posted for free.
"We deserve some too!" the gratis authors protested. Maybe so. But, according to blogger Nate Silver, if Arianna does opt to make her minions whole, she'll be paying most of them in peanuts. Per his calculations, the average Huffpo article grosses $13 in ad revenue, with fully half earning $4 or less. Total.
Upon hearing such news, the aspiring wordsmith might be tempted to grab a cheap bottle of gin and pull a Bukowski. But that's not necessary. Because armed with an exceptional piece of writing, one can do better. Much better. So well, in fact, that when the content farms figure out what's happening, they'll wet their pants and run screaming to papa. Let me explain…
For most of my adult life, I'd created things anonymously and for-hire. So, in spring '09, I launched Weather Sealed: a blog where I could say whatever I wanted, whenever it felt right, and maybe make a positive contribution to society in the process. Alas, three months in, despite a few tasty tidbits of snark, readership hovered one visit an hour above flatline. Or double that, if you include the sympathy hits from my family. Thanks, mom!
Then, during an early September road trip, my inner anti-consumer got to wondering… just how far can you get from McDonald's? I had to know. So, I wrote an app to figure it out, plugged in AggData's geolocated restaurant information, and voilà! Mathematically, at the time, the McFarthest Spot in the Lower 48 states was a place in rural South Dakota, 107 miles as the crow flies from the nearest McDonald's.
Clearly, others might find my McResults interesting, so I spent three days rolling them into an article and accompanying visualization, entitled Where The Buffalo Roamed. It flowed well and had two irresistible hooks – the McFarthest Spot factoid and the day-glo visual – and, quite frankly, it made me nervous. This was my peak half-week creative output, and if no one wanted to read it, I might as well pawn my paper and pencil, pack up, and move on to the next town.
With much anxiety and limited pomp-and-circumstance, at 10:31am Tuesday, September 22, 2009, Where The Buffalo Roamed made its debut on my blog. The link went out to a few friends of mine, AggData CEO Chris Hathaway's own network, and a handful of tip lines. Total promotional effort: 15 minutes, tops.
Readers slowly – but steadily – trickled in. Just after 1pm, food site Serious Eats posted the first re-blog. Two hours later, clicks began arriving from Buzzfeed. Then, at 9:30pm, came the first significant traffic burst: twenty eyeballs a minute from an article which had floated onto Digg's front page. OMFG, my story had gone viral!
During the next three weeks, Where The Buffalo Roamed was splashed and rehashed across literally dozens of big-name Internet properties. Here's a graph of unique visits over the first four days, by referring domain:
At the peak, during the Gizmodo-Consumerist tag team, a new visitor arrived every second. Interest held strong for about two days, then rapidly declined to about 20% of the maximum and trailed off slowly from there. By the end of October, it was over. Final numbers: 290,000 unique visits, 420,000 page views, and 0.01% peak daily global reach. Per subsequent experience and Alexa traffic data, for a popular story published on a relatively-unknown web site, these numbers are remarkably typical.
So, what's a traffic spike like that worth?
In lieu of hawking merchandise, the small-scale site operator usually makes money by displaying advertisements. The ads sit in the pages, and for each view, they earn a fraction of a penny. At the time, I wasn't running ads, but if I was, we can easily estimate what my return would have been…
In his article, Silver calculates that the Huffington Post makes about $6.25 in ad revenue per thousand page views. For another data point, consider The Deck, an ad network that includes MetaFilter and Kottke. Each month, they sell 33 ad spaces at $274,000 total, run across an estimated 56 million page views, yielding $4.87 per thousand.
If we use $5 as a healthy, achievable, per-thousand-page-view rate, the math on my traffic spike is:
Now, certainly, by itself, $2,000 won't retire anyone to Fiji beaches and piña coladas. However, it does translate to a respectable $83 for each of my 24 hours of effort, which beats the snot out of the rate HuffPo is paying.
The true value comes through repetition. A $2,000 piece each week adds up to more than $100,000 a year, plus a fan base to amplify future successes. Of course, achieving that level of output won't be easy. To succeed will require originality, creativity, honesty, and don't forget, durability: because people can be mean, things flop, and to make up the difference can take the effort of a thousand dogs. However, dig deep and build enough brilliance, and the readers will come.
Goddamn, I sound like iTony eRobbins. Nurse, could you please kindly fetch me that cheap bottle of gin, por favor?

(Reuters) - Kelly Kraft shot a career-best 63 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead into the weekend at The Greenbrier as the 29-year-old American moved into position to claim a maiden PGA Tour title.
Kraft followed up his opening 64 with eight birdies at the par-70 Old White TPC in White Sulphur Springs for a 13-under par 127 total after 36 holes.
India's Anirban Lahiri, meanwhile, signed for a career-best 61 and overnight leader Webb Simpson a 67 to share second place, one stroke off the pace on a warm day in West Virginia that made for excellent scoring conditions.
Jason Kokrak is a further shot adrift in fourth place after shooting 64, while Korea's Whee Kim and Harold Varner III were tied for fifth on 10-under par.
Kraft has been on the tour for three years and has never led a tournament after 36 holes, but credited his improved play to an attitude adjustment he made after failing to make the cut at the Quicken Loans National last week.
"I've changed my attitude a little bit starting with last week," he told the Golf Channel.
"I felt like I played good last week but a couple of breaks here and there and you miss the cut. It's easy to do," he said.
"But I've changed a couple things about my attitude and I'm ready to keep playing good. I'm just looking for two more low ones and a bunch of scoring opportunities."
Kraft's only blemish was a bogey on the par-five 12th, the same hole where Simpson suffered a double-bogey earlier in the day, but he rebounded with birdies on 13, 14 and 16 to take the outright lead.
Bubba Watson, who at number 12 is the highest-ranked player in the field, followed his disappointing opening round 68 with a second round 66 on Friday to sit tied for 24th with eight other players on six-under par.
Watson, who 11 days ago collected a PGA Tour-leading third win of the season, said he was not content to rest on his laurels.
"That's in the past," he said when asked about his recent success.
"I couldn't care less what happened earlier in the year. We're trying to win a trophy this week and whoever gets a trophy this week is trying to get a trophy next week.
"You're always looking forward."
Watson, who was visibly frustrated on Thursday, said he adopted a better attitude on Friday thanks to a pep talk.
"My wife had a talking to me last night and said my attitude was terrible so I had to change it," the 39-year-old said.
"The last two holes I got frustrated just because I thought I hit some good putts and didn't make anything. All in all, it's a good two days and I still have a chance to fight and compete and try to win."

Ancient Horse Remains Found in Melting Glacier
Two thousand meters up in the Norwegian mountains, humans and animals of the Iron Age trekked across dangerous paths in an effort to take a shortcut to get to their destination. Instead of taking the long journey around, they went directly over the mountains—and it must have been an effective path, because it was used all the way through the medieval period as well.
But times are a'changing, and the ice is a'melting.
Norwegian climate experts predict that the ice in the high mountains of Norway will be gone by the end of the century, which means that any historical or archaeological finds trapped in the ice will be uncovered as the ice melts.
Why would there be items trapped in ice? Imagine that travelers used this route for hundreds of years, maybe thousands. How often do you drop things when you're out and about? How much worse would it be if you had your things strapped to the back of a horse or donkey?
Archaeologists have found 1,000-year-old horse manure on the route, as well as horse shoes and a perfectly preserved 1,700-year-old woollen tunic that was almost completely intact. And now they can add an actual horse to the list!
The horse remains were only bones by the time the team made the find, but it confirms the route and the necessity of taking horses across the difficult mountain paths.
The paths were also used for hunting reindeer, who would move up to the cooler mountain areas during the heat of summer, and it's likely that hunters used horses to move reindeer carcasses from the mountains down to the villages below.
Sadly, this poor horse was obviously unable to complete its appointed task.

WTI crude oil is getting hit pretty hard this morning. Right now, it's down about 2.8%, trading at $90.85 a barrel.
Copper is getting hit too - it's down about 3.2%.
Gold, meanwhile, is down 1.5%, trading at $1450 an ounce.
In fact, the entire commodity complex is pretty heavy in the red today, with the exception of natural gas. Silver, platinum, palladium, corn, wheat, sugar, coffee, soybeans, gasoline, and heating oil are all coming under selling pressure.
Overnight, we saw weaker-than-expected manufacturing data out of China and weaker-than-expected export data out of South Korea. Those releases, coupled with a worse-than-expected employment report from ADP this morning, seem to be weighing on commodities as concerns over global growth re-ignite.
Next up is ISM Manufacturing at 10 AM, which could weigh further on commodities if it comes in weaker than the market expects.
The chart below shows WTI crude oil futures today.

Memories of that First Cat
When I was a kid, I read The Hound of the Baskervilles and immediately became a "dog person." I imagined becoming a famous writer who would live on an immense estate protected by supernatural and potentially unfriendly deer hounds.
My fiancée informed me I was going to become a "cat person." Other than the expedient fact that she was a cat person, the practicalities of the matter were that large hounds don't fit well in apartments. They need, if not moors, large yards.
So, about 30 years ago Needles became our cat because (a) a friend's cat had a litter and the friend didn't need more cats, and (b) the cat would prove one way or the other if I was "marriage material." Needles got his name because he had sharp claws and, of all of our cats over the years, his temperament was probably the closest to the hound of the Baskervilles.
I could tell stories, but this is a family blog.
Needles lived a long and adventurous life in Georgia, from Rome to Marietta to Smyrna to Norcross. When he crossed the rainbow bridge he was ancient. His final resting place is the farm where we now live just outside of Rome.
My wife likes to tell people that when Needles first arrived in our lives, I had a "what the hell do I do with that thing" kind of attitude. In my defense, I didn't know nothing about no cats and didn't know what they wanted or why they randomly freaked out and clawed the hell out of my arms. They're possessed, I think, by random malevolences that haunt most neighborhoods.
Needles liked his blanket. He thought that no matter what infraction he committed (such as grabbing my ankle when I walked through a dark room), he was free and clear if he could just get back to that blanket. It was like home plate or a safe house.
We had a deck at the Norcross town home that got so hot on sunny afternoons, we couldn't walk out there in bare feet. Needles could lie out there for hours. Go figure.
By then I had learned that cats sleep 16 hours or more a day and thought (a) what a life, and (b) that at least they couldn't jump out of dark shadows while they were asleep.
Bottom line, Needles was a hoot and somehow with him I passed the test and my fiancée and I were married in 1987 in a small ceremony in the living room of the friends who gave us our first cat.
My only regret is that saying "release the cats" doesn't sound as cool as saying "release the hounds."
Malcolm R. Campbell learned enough from Needles, Black Kitty, Orange Kitty, Marlo, Duncan and Katy to write a novella with a cat as a major character: "Conjure Woman's Cat."

Caramel Apple Soft Pretzel Recipe
Who doesn't love freshly made soft pretzels? My latest Caramel Apple Soft Pretzel Recipe is almost too much to handle. Stuffed with apples, smothered with dulce de leche, then sprinkled with sea salt, these big softies are our newest favorite fall treat.
Every April, Lt. Dan asks me to make soft pretzels for his birthday. He could have anything under-the-sun to eat, but he asks for soft pretzels.
Pretty cute, if you ask me.
Today I made his favorite soft pretzel recipe just for the heck of it. …Because that's the kind of thing you do when you love somebody.
You don't wait until they ask.
You don't ponder what they've done for you lately.
You don't check your schedule to see if you can fit it in.
You just do things you know they like, because it will make them smile.
Dan loves this Caramel Apple Soft Pretzel Recipe. And who wouldn't?
Pillowy twists of buttery dough, with tiny morsels of apple nestled deep within. Then each soft pretzel is generously drizzled with creamy "dulce de leche" caramel and sprinkled with a hefty dose of course sea salt.
Soft pretzels are much easier to make than they appear.
Simply make the dough and let it rise. Then using a mixer, "knead" in the fresh apple chunks.
Separate the dough into equal pieces.
Then roll each piece into a long doughy snake, on a greased surface. Some of the apples will pop out, but keep rolling and you'll recollect them all.
Lift the ends up to make a U shape. Twist and press the ends close to the bottom. Don't worry if they are imperfect. Caramel Apple Soft Pretzels "pretty-up" as they bake.
Quickly boil the Caramel Apple Soft Pretzel Recipe to create the "skin." Then place them on cookie sheets and bake.
Drizzle, Sprinkle, Devour.
I can't say enough about this Caramel Apple Soft Pretzel Recipe, other than you REALLY should make it.

Caramel Apple Soft Pretzel Recipe
Yield: 8 large or 16 minis
Prep Time:40 minutes active time
Cook Time:22 minutes
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons dry active yeast (1 packet)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 1/2 cups (24 ounces) all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 1/2 cups diced apple
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 quarts water
- 3/4 cup baking soda
- 1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
- 1 can Dulce de Leche
- Course Sea Salt
- Place the water, sugar and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top of the water. Let it foam for 5-10 minutes.
- Using the dough hook, mix in 24 ounces flour and the melted butter on low speed until well combined. Change to medium speed and knead until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl, approximately 5-6 minutes. Remove the dough from the bowl, spray the bowl with nonstick spray, then place the dough back in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and sit in a warm place for approximately 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, peel and chop the apples into small chunks, toss the apples with cinnamon, nutmeg and 1 tablespoon flour. After the dough has doubled, pour the apples into the dough and knead to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray, Set aside. Bring 3 quarts water and the baking soda to a boil in large sauce pot.
- In the meantime, dump the dough out onto a slightly floured work surface and divide into 8 equal pieces (or 16 pieces for mini pretzels.) Spray a work surface with nonstick spray. Roll out each piece of dough into a 24-inch rope (12-inch for minis.) The apples will pop out a little, but keep rolling and you will reincorporate them.
- Make a U-shape with the rope. Take the ends and cross them over each other twice, and press onto the bottom of the U to form the pretzel. Place onto the parchment-lined sheets.
- Put the pretzels into the boiling water, one at a time, for 30 seconds. Remove from the water using 1-2 large spatulas. Return to the cookie sheet and brush each pretzel with the beaten egg yolk and water mixture. Bake until dark golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool for at least 15 minutes before drizzling with caramel and sprinkling with salt.
- For the Dulce e Leche Caramel Drizzle: Because Dulce de Leche doesn't "set" like frosting, it's best to drizzle the pretzels right before serving. Place them in an airtight container to keep fresh. When ready to serve, warm the dulce de leche until slightly thin. Then place in a zip bag. Cut a small hole in the corner of the bag and "pipe" the warm caramel over the soft pretzels. Sprinkle with course sea salt and serve.

CHNC Challenge Extra - August ATG Christmas
Crafting From The Heart - #125 ATG
How brave to tear a circular shape beautifully done. Great card
Great tearing Lorraine, it's amazing how many folk do struggle with this. I had a class once with tearing cards and a couple of girls just couldn't do it!
I love the tearing and the holly. A super festive card.

I've heard lilies grow
Without toiling and ravens
Neither reap nor sow.
God provides safe havens
But faith isn't always enough.
Words do not fill stomachs
There's no manna on the ground.
Countries are destroyed by war
The list goes on and on.
Goodness comes in ways,
We do not understand.
Together we stand strong
We are God's hands.

Batman Black Die-Cut 316L Surgical Steel Stud Earrings
The Batman Black Die-Cut 316L Surgical Steel Stud Earringsis proof that Wayne Industries really is all over the place! Made from high quality bio-compatible surgical steel and highlighting an ornate die cut bat symbol! Say, I wonder how Wayne Industries has all of this bat related stuff? They better be careful, or the Batman might sue or come after Bruce Wayne! I don't think that little rich boy could put up a fight against the Batman, though come to think of it I haven't seen him around as much as one might think. Oh well.
316 Surgical Stainless Steel is the preferred steel where bio-compatibility is required (such as body implants and piercings). The "L" means that the carbon content of the alloy is below 0.03%, which reduces the sensitization effect. 316 steel has .08 Max carbon content while 316L has a .03 Max carbon content. Stainless steel does not contain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel. Though it will not oxidize or turn black, it is still not "stain-proof."
We cannot accept exchanges and refunds on body piercings. That stuff was in your body! Ewww!

The product was well made and it looks so cool. I have received so many compliments from them.
Nice product, good price.
I already love my Batman stud earrings! They are the perfect size, they just cover your earlobe, so you can wear other earrings with them if you have multiple earrings in at once. I can already tell that I will get compliments on them, they are gorgeous, buy them <3.

Not to big, look awesome and don't irrigate my ears. Exactly what I wanted :)
Shelbyville, KY
I love these and wearing them right now. I do want to say they are pretty small. I read that I believe from a reviewer so I expected them to be pretty small. Other than that they are great quality and fun to wear.

I purchased these for my 7 y/o son...yes his ears are pierced. Every time he wears them he gets great reviews. It's nice to have earrings that are cool, and not just "girly".
Valrico, FL
Exactly the right size, big enough to be recognized but without extending over the edge of the earlobe. Also, the surgical steel is excellent as I am allergic to most lower quality metals. I wasn't looking for anything specific when I came to the site but when I saw these I had to have them.
My earrings are the bomb everybody that sees them wants to know where I got them
bakersfield ca
when found about your guys site i was shocked to see so much great growing up this all the stuff i loved and that im older its still there and i can buy all this great stuff trust me if i get some more money i will purchase more stuff from you guys and spread the word to my friends super hero stuff is awesome!!!!
They are perfect size and look really cool people really notice them and like them
Bought them for my girlfriend and she absolutely loved them. The surgical steel was also a large deciding factor, as they don't bother her ears as other metals would. 5/5 would recommend.
San Diego, CA
for 10$ you can't beat them. They are a good size so they stand out without totally taking over your ears. I got these at WonderCon and I love them. Inexpensive (not cheap) and cool.
i thought they wouldn't be noticeable cause they're so small first glance but they are. I've gotten good compliments and they're def. nicee once you put them on!
New Zealand
Love them. Not too big or small. Logo is clearly Batman from a reasonable distance. Aren't too showy either. Sometimes gets caught in my clothing but that's my fault for being rough when dressing. Anyway, I love them and I definitely recommend them, but I'd prefer if not everyone had them :P
Good value

Driving with Wife
A man and his wife are driving down the road when a cop pulls them over.
The cop says to the man, "Do you know that you were speeding?"
The man replies, "No sir, I didn't know I was speeding."
The mans wife then yells, "Yes you did, you knew you were speeding I've been telling you to slow down for miles."
"SHUT UP!" the man says to his wife, "Shut the hell up, just sit back and be quite."
Then the cop says, "well, since I've got you pulled over did you know that the tag on your license plate is expired?"
"No Sir" the man replies, "I did not know that"
"WHATEVER!" His wife yells, "I've been telling you to go get it up to date for 2 whole months now!"
"Shut up" the man yells to his wife again! "Sit back and shut up, mind your own business!"
Curios, the cop walks over to the woman's side of the car and asks her, "Does he always talk to you this way?"
"No" she replies, " Only when he's drinking!"

"Look at ME!!" boasted the fit old man, pounding a very flat and firm stomach, having just finished 100 sit-ups before a group of young people. "Fit as a fiddle! And you want to know why?? I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't stay up late, and I don't chase after loose women!"
He smiled at them, teeth white, eyes aglitter, "And tomorrow, I'm going to celebrate my 95th birthday!"
"Oh, really?" drawled one of the young onlookers. "How?"
A man was walking along the beach at Malibu when he found a bottle. He looked around and didn't see anyone so he opened it.
A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out. The genie said, "For your kindness I will grant you one wish, but only one.."
The man thought for a minute and said, "I have always wanted to go to Hawaii but have never been able to because I'm afraid of flying and ships make me claustrophobic and ill. So, I wish for a bridge to be built from here to Hawaii."
The genie thought for a few minutes and said, "No, I don't think I can do that. Just think of all the work involved with the pilings needed to hold up the highway and how deep they would have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean. Think of all the pavement that would be needed.
No, that is just too much to ask."
The man thought for a minute and then told the genie, "There is one other thing that I have always wanted. I would like to be able to understand women. What makes them laugh and cry, why are they temperamental, why are they so difficult to get along with? Basically, what makes them tick?"
The genie considered for a few minutes and said, "So, do you want two lanes or four to Hawaii?
What is a cat?

Christmas greetings friends from The Athenaeum on the campus of The California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech) in Pasadena. Pasadena is among the most active communities in protecting its old architectural heritage, and The Athenaeum is part of that grand history.
I've visited The Athenaeum before but not during the Christmas season. I thank Joan & Donna of Cal Tech for their Christmassy suggestion. This is the really busy time of the year for this landmark.
Main Entrance
A few may still be able to recall the reason for the Christmas season is to commemorate the gift of the birth of Jesus Christ – to believers/followers, Savior of the inhabitants of this planet. And lemme tell you, if anyone needs helps and saving it's Me!!
My wish for y'all is this Christmas finds you in good health, and good enuf wealth, so you may be in good spirits and at peace.
Main Dining Room
A Hallway
Main Dining Room
There are several Christmas Trees throughout the building. The main tree is in the vaulted entrance hall. Despite taking several shots of that tree I wasn't satisfied with any. The tree below is a worthy backup!
The Lounge (I believe)
A very, very, brief history of The Athenaeum: the private Cal Tech faculty club. Named for the Greek goddess Athena & a temple in ancient Greece where learned men would gather to discuss their ideas. About 1921 Dr. George Ellery Hale was the initial catalyst, as he was for many things, for an Athenaeum in Pasadena. Cal Tech trustee Allan Balch & his wife Janet provided the funds, Gordon Kaufmann was chosen as architect, and William C. Crowell was put in charge of building it. Founded in 1930 "to promote social, cultural, and intellectual exchange." I've heard the style described as California Mediterranean.
It's mission is focused to provide a meeting place for enhancing friendship and "the exchange of ideas among lovers of science, art, engineering and literature." A place for scientists and others to share their ideas.
Membership is primarily Cal Tech faculty/alumni and those at associated institutions at the Huntington Library, JPL, and the Mount Palomar Observatory.
In addition to being a private club, you could say the second floor above is a hotel with guest rooms for Cal Tech visitors and associates. Indeed, it has played host to many top scientists and Nobel winners. Among the famous guests putting in guest time: Physicist Albert Einstein. In fact his suite is now named for him and the first formal dinner was held in his honor in 1931. Reverend Martin Luther King also stayed at Cal Tech for a few days in the 1950s and gave a speech at The Athenaeum.
Anyhow, many events have and are held at The Athenaeum. And of course, "Hollywood", eventually found the way to it doors with appearances in many movies and commercials. Prior to the building of Beckman Auditorium, the north lawn was used for Cal Tech commencements.
It's a Platinum Club of America honoree, which means it's recognized as one of the very best clubs for its service and general excellence. As far as I'm concerned, it's enuf for me to say The Athenaeum is mainly a boutique hotel with excellent dining!
That's my history in miniature. And my photos here are just a handful of this elegant building which don't do it justice. Next year I hope to have time to put up photos of the Hall of the Associates and the exterior.
Excuse me, but I must take leave now. I have three brilliant scholars who've been patiently waiting a long time, at The Athenaeum, to have an audience with me…
Joy, Peace & Health this Christmas! Stay Thirsty My Friends

the "obscure italian sidemen" on this album are led by the great Piero Umiliani. Look him up, one of my favourite composers of all timeReplyDelete
Thank you for the comment. I actually know the name of Piero Umiliani and have heard some of his work. I did not realize that he was playing on this; if that is true, that's really cool. I don't know if you are correct about it, though, AMG does not list him as one of the players. Did he do the arrangements, maybe?ReplyDelete

The region has attracted more fintech investments than North America and Europe.
Three in 5 (64%) senior industry leaders believe that Asia is a global leader in the rapid development of new payments technologies, according to Global Payments Innovation Jury 2017 sponsored by ACI Worldwide and organised by John Chaplin.
"Payments infrastructure in a multitude of Asian countries is 'leap-frogging' the legacy infrastructure of many card-dominated developed markets," the report noted, with small markets like Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore rapidly accelerating the modernisation of their payments infrastructure.
Only 14% of senior industry leaders believe that Europe can bring about the highest level of payments innovation for the next two years but believe that the region still offers a wealth of opportunities due to London's thriving startup scene and the promise of PSD2.
Another 12% are placing their bets on Africa, 8% for North America, and 2% for Latin America.
Asia also attracts more funds from investments in fintech than North America and Europe amidst a growing middle class population eager to try out the latest payments technologies. Correspondingly, almost half (47%) of the senior executives believe that Asia is the best region to start a payments busienss followed by Africa (17%), Americas (14%), Europe (13%), and Latin America (9%).

The Middle East and Africa are seen as providing large market opportunities to tap the unbanked population as mobile penetration increases.
"Banks feel the strain from the rapidly changing digital world and have placed or will place digital strategy to cope with unprecedented challenges, said World Savings and Retail Banking Institute managing director Chris De Noose. "Banking in the 'Digital' era means always searching new ways to improve our locally focused banking model."
In Mainland China, for instance, Postal Savings Bank of China is leveraging on China Post's e-commerce platform and has forged a partnership with Ant Finance to expand its payments services to the countryside. Similarly, the State Bank of India makes it a point to invest in fintech startups and launched YONO, which offers lifestyle products in addition to banking.
"Established payments players, especially financial institutions, see an imperative to innovate as the size of the global payments market increases across multiple geographies – it's clear that payments companies should not see nimble start-ups as a threat, but rather as a partnership opportunity," said Paul Thomalla, senior vice president, ACI Worldwide.

Okay, so I got this really weird glitch going on. I have all my mouths placed appropriately on my characters' faces, but for some strange reason, for "some of the mouths (not all of them) this keeps happening (this just started happening today btw):
Hold on, it gets even weirder...the "only" mouths that do that weird glitch thing have at least one of two actions in the Mainline timeline when I click on them, and those actions are Layer Translations and/or Layer Visibility. Gets even weirder...when I delete the Layer Translations and/or Layer Visibility and go to Smart Bone Mode & come back, all the layer crap I deleted from the timeline reappears. It's crazy, man. Lol. It's not a big deal, I guess...because the glitch only happens in Smart Bone Mode, not in Mainline Mode. But I would still like to get to the bottom of this...it's driving me crazy! Lol

Paulie Malignaggi's next fight may not be in Brooklyn after all. In fact, it looks as though he may be traveling a very long way to defend his WBA title. Johnny Eames and Gianluca Di Caro announced today that they have recently created a new promotional company, Showtime Sports Events Limited, and that they are planning to promote events in both the UK and overseas. And from the looks of it, they are getting off to a good start.
Eames and Di Caro already have their first huge event in mind. They are very close to inking a deal with WBA welterweight champ Paulie Malignaggi in a plan that may send him to Abu Dhabi, where he will defend his WBA welterweight belt against Argentina's Diego Gabriel Chaves. They hope to land the fight sometime in April.
"First of all, I'd like to say how excited I am." Eames officially stated. "After fifteen years in the pro boxing game, kicking my heels, so to speak, I'm finally in a position where I can give promises I know I can keep. We had made separate approaches to two of the three biggest fighters out there, Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao. Unfortunately, our timing or something like that didn't work for them so we had to move on. But we've still got a big name, Paulie Malignaggi, headlining our first show supported by a great undercard."
Originally they had planned to target Paulie Malignaggi vs Ricky Hatton; however Hatton's recent loss sent him back to retirement forcing them to move on. Then they began discussions with Juan Manuel Marquez but after weeks of talks they realized that Marquez wasn't going to make the deal even after offering him millions of dollars. They tried with Pacquiao shortly after but that wasn't going to go anywhere either. After Paulie's fight with Mosley fell through they immediately reached out to him.
"I would like to thank Paulie, Steven, and Golden Boy's Richard Schaefer, for their professionalism and willingness to discuss our proposal." Eames went on to say. While no official date has been set, the card may also feature Mexico's Marco Antonio Rubio. "We just can't wait for our first fight night. It's going to be awesome!"

'Nude Kate' Tabloid Editor Resigns
Tabloid editor Michael O'Kane resigned from the Irish Daily Star on Saturday as a consequence of his decision to publish topless photos of Kate Middleton in the September 15 issue of the paper. The well-publicized scandal, involving shots of Middleton sunbathing on a private vacation, resulted in a threatened shutdown of the tabloid and O'Kane's near-immediate suspension. Now that he's gone, maybe Duchess Kate can put this whole mess behind her.

Luxury villa - with dreamviews
Real estate in S´Horta
One of the most beautifully situated linked villas with an exceptional view to the sea and surroundings. The modern interior features a modern full kitchen, a spacious living room with a door to the terraces with impressive sea views. The villa also features 4 bedrooms and 3 baths.
The buyer paid no agency commission.
S´Horta is one of the unknown localities on Majorca – many know it only as a passage route. The place is small, however, there are concerts organized regularly in the beautiful church, there are typical Majorcan bars and a supermarket. Apart from that the village is rather very quiet, however it has got its special charm. One could say typical Majorcan – so calm and still wonderful! The old houses in the centre of the village and many new villas around – somehow everything fits together.

Without any doubt, one of the most asked questions during a Tarot reading will be about love and relationship. It seems as if true love is something outside of a person's ability, or an act of fate or external force that humans have little control over. However, the truth is that finding our true mate often begins within ourselves since love tends to be a genesis which manifests within our inner beings.
Use A Tarot Deck To Seek Our Right Match!
It is supposed that the most ideal relationships are those where both partners might have discovered who they are. As soon as one increases a strong sense of himself, his partnership will be more likely to flourish. Thus, with self-knowledge and self-awareness, a person is more capable of showing his inner feelings, and then setting the compatible boundaries. At that time, he will recognize his own needs and his sweetheart's needs. Importantly, for those who are still single, they could realize the characteristics in their potential partners that can/cannot go well with them.
Once a seeker consults the Tarot about the matters of heart, most of the gifted and experienced Psychics have a tendency to concentrate directly on the current energy of his love life. However, he can fail to realize the impact of his girlfriend's own behavioral patterns or belief systems.
During a love Tarot card session, it is up to a questioner to ask a Tarot reader or Psychic to uncover the topic of his own level of self-development as well as how this can be affecting his love life. Of course, the expert reader will surely pick up on that instantly. Inquiries about romance should shift focus. Hence, instead of asking "when will I meet my soulmate?" we are advised to try discovering the areas which are blocking us from finding love. The following are powerful questions fairly useful during a relationship Tarot reading:
- Where are the aspects that I have to improve and develop in order to seek my true half?
- What areas I ought to change about myself?
- What should I need to learn about myself that will allow me to meet my mate?
- What is preventing me from seeing my lover?
- How about my beliefs about love and romance?
- What are my behavioral patterns which can be influencing my love life?
- What do I have to do to open myself up to the real love?
- Where am I failing to express my inner self?

Promotional Items For the WorkplacePromotional desk and office items are said to be the fourth-largest product category in the promotional products industry. Promotional items for desk and office use are in demand because they offer substantial logo exposure. Consider the prescription and note pads that pharmaceuticals salesmen leave at doctors' offices. Some of these promotional items will find their way to receptionists' desks. Others will be used by doctors themselves. Imagine the number of people who walk in and out of clinics daily and see these promotional items. Another reason promotional items are a big hit in offices is that many of us spend a big part of our day in the workplace. The average worker spends at least 45 hours a week in the office. At his workstation, there's a logo-imprinted notepad, a ballpoint pen, a mug, and a photo frame. Imagine the number of co-workers this person has-those he works with directly as well as those who pass by his statio
