Correction Appended
Saudi Arabia's track record in previous terrorism investigations has been one of keeping its distance from the United States. It is a distance that illustrates a challenge: how does Washington square Saudi Arabia, the loyal ally and vital oil supplier, with Saudi Arabia, the guardian of Islam, a power of the Arab world and birthplace of suspected terrorists?
In past cases when it has been called upon to investigate terrorism, Saudi Arabia seemed less concerned with finding the killers than with making sure it did not stir up radical opponents at home who might paint members of the royal dynasty as American lackeys.
Despite evidence suggesting that some of those who carried out the massive attack on the United States this week might have been Saudi citizens or at least linked to another former Saudi resident, Osama bin Laden, it remains to be seen to what extent the kingdom will aid the United States in taking on his shadowy movement. Some Saudi officials noted that names bandied about this week as armed and dangerous men and even suicide pilots turned out to be average Saudi citizens sitting quietly home in Jidda and Mecca, their flight training over.
While Saudi diplomats and other officials reached by telephone remained noncommittal and said there had been no formal American request for help, there were unusual expressions of support.
The Saudi chief justice, Sheik Saleh bin Muhammad al-Luhaidan, not normally the kind of figure to express public sympathy for the West's problems, condemned the attacks. He added his voice to that of senior royal figures, including King Fahd, Crown Prince Abdullah and Prince Bandar, the Saudi ambassador to Washington.Continue reading the main story
''We in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia are fully prepared to cooperate with you in every way that may help identify and pursue the perpetrators of this criminal incident,'' the official Saudi Press Agency quoted Prince Abdullah as telling President Bush in a telephone conversation this week.
Among Saudis there was a sense that the movement of Mr. bin Laden, if indeed it carried out this week's attacks, had moved beyond the pale.
''If in the past there were supporters or sympathizers or admiration, what happened in New York will turn it off,'' said Jamal Khashoggi, the managing editor of The Arab News in Jidda, who spent years covering Islamic movements. ''He is dragging all of us into a conflict with the West that we don't want.''
Once, Mr. bin Laden was a kind of icon for young children in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world who spent their free time collecting piasters to help him and other mujahadeen dedicating their lives to freeing Afghanistan from Soviet tyranny.
No one remembers Mr. bin Laden actually soliciting funds. His father, a billionaire contractor, left him a healthy inheritance. But during the battle for Afghanistan in the 1980's, richer patrons around the Persian Gulf were generous, adding their millions to funding from the governments of the United States -- then backing Islamic warriors against the Soviets -- and Saudi Arabia, among others.
That seemingly stopped when Mr. bin Laden's increasing radicalization in the 1990's finally prompted the Saudis to strip him of his passport in 1994. His criticism for the way the royals were running the country dried up any official support. His wealthy family disavowed him too.
Anyone found overtly supporting Mr. bin Laden would have risked having all assets in the kingdom seized. Yet the Saudi government finances various conservative religious organizations without much rigorous accounting of where the money goes.
The Saudi authorities, guardians of Islam's most holy shrines, have never been able entirely to smother the idea that Mr. bin Laden was engaged in a glorious and glamorous struggle. To this day, young Saudis and other Arabs find their way to Mr. bin Laden in Afghanistan, if not in very large numbers. The ruling family allows no domestic dissent, so radical Islam has always served as the outlet for those who would topple their government.
The arrival of hundreds of thousands of American troops in 1990 to expel Saddam Hussein and Iraq's forces from Kuwait galvanized recruitment. Fervent followers of Islam were horrified that infidel troops had been brought into the land of Mecca and Medina.
That animosity only deepened after the United States military established a permanent air force presence to patrol the skies over Iraq.
In 1995, after a terrorist bombing in Riyadh killed four Americans working in Saudi Arabia to train the National Guard, their killers made televised confessions in which they said they had never met Mr. bin Laden, nor did they work for him. But they made it clear that he was their inspiration.
In that case, investigators from the F.B.I. who had hoped to interview the suspects never got the chance. The men were beheaded.
After a bombing at the Al Khobar towers in Dhahran in June 1996, which killed 19 American servicemen, the F.B.I. was similarly thwarted. Its investigators were denied access to evidence like the getaway car, although after endless wrangling they were eventually allowed to watch from behind glass as Saudi investigators posed questions to the suspects.
Last June, after a federal grand jury indicted 13 Saudis and a Lebanese man for carrying out the Dhahran attack, Saudi Arabia expressed a lack of interest even though it held most of the men. Their own courts would handle the case, officials said.
''Maybe what has been published matters to the United States, but it does not concern us in any way at all,'' Prince Nayef, the interior minister, said in an interview then about the indictments.
At that time, many Saudis were grumbling about the kingdom's close ties to the United States. In the diwaniyyas, the nightly gatherings in Saudi homes where educated professionals discuss issues of the day, there was disgust over the lack of American support for the Palestinians in their uprising against Israel. ''I consider the United States my enemy,'' said an educated Saudi at one such gathering.
Senior Saudi officials have signaled their displeasure in less harsh terms. Crown Prince Abdullah, who effectively runs the country because King Fahd is ill, spurned an invitation to visit Washington to meet with President Bush -- despite the close ties between the crown prince and Mr. Bush's father -- and the Saudi military chief of staff stayed away from this summer's usual joint talks.
The Saudi challenge posed by ties to Washington finds an echo in Egypt, which with its own violent Islamic insurgency has never wanted to be shown working closely with American intelligence on anything.
After the attacks, however, there has been a marked change in tone. Ordinary Egyptians have approached Americans on the street to tell them how profoundly ashamed and horrified they are by the attack.
Correction: September 19, 2001, Wednesday A picture caption on Saturday with an article about the fragile relationship that the United States and Saudi Arabia have developed in previous terrorism investigations misidentified the birthplace and citizenship of the suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden. He was born in Jidda, Saudia Arabia; it is his father who was born in Hadhramaut Province in eastern Yemen. Saudi Arabia revoked Mr. bin Laden's citizenship in 1994; while his current citizenship is not known, he has been granted refuge in recent years by the ruling Taliban in Afghanistan.Continue reading the main story

PlayStation 2
Review by Infested Taco
"My knight in shining armor...it can't get any better than this!"
Rumors and speculation has been circling around the PlayStation2 (PS2) ever since it was announced way back in the past at E3. It received fan support, saying it will be even more impacting than the original Playstation and even more fun. Then it got critics. The people who were saying that the PS2 would be nothing except a speed bump in the way of the XBox's glory. I agree with the supporters. Ever since I got my PS2 (which was sometime in November) I have simply been glued to it, almost forgetting that there is life besides the PS2. Well, now, I seem to have completely forget that there is life elsewhere. With a line of games getting only better as time progresses, the PS2 will stay alive in (if not win) the battle of the next generation consoles.
Look of the System - 10/10
The PlayStation2 just plain looks great. It has a very odd and unique design, yet it fits it perfectly. With it's black and blue colors, the little twisty PlayStation symbol on the front, and its nice heavy feel, the PlayStation2 looks just amazing.
Controller - 10/10
The original Duel Shock controller was thought to be unmatchable in every good quality that makes a controller. That has now been proven wrong with the Duel Shock 2. Looking almost the exact same (except for the Duel Shock 2 written in the corner) you will not notice with the naked eye why this controller is so different and so great. When you pick it up however, you will find that it is substantially lighter. Another feature of the controller that most do not even know about is the fact that every button is analoged (pressure sensitive), not just the analog sticks. The controller fits perfectly and comfortably in your hand, and works only better than the already perfect original Duel Shock.
Games - 7/10
I will admit it, as of right now the games specifically for the PlayStation2 are not great. There are only a handful that actually use the graphics capabilities, and even less that are fun. But because of the backwards compatibility function (plays original PlayStation games) you will have a lot of fun playing your old or even new PlayStation games.
Audio - 10/10
The sound is simply magnificent. Using Dolby Digital 5.1, and DTS sound, its plays like a dream. To even improve on that perfect feature, there are new speakers released only for the PS2 that makes the sound indefinably clearer, and sharper. Sound doesn't make the system, but it really does help. The PS2 sound doesn't the system, but it really is perfect.
Video - 10/10
The graphics are amazing. Using a 128 bit Emotion Engine graphics processor, the images will be almost lifelike. (The Dreamcast also has a 128 bit processor, but due to the lack of the Emotion Engine, the graphics fall far short of the PS2.) With the games also increasing in graphics by the day, the quality of the PS2 will improve with the games, and it looks like it is climbing in a hurry.
Features - 10/10
The PS2 is the home entertainment system. It offers it all, at unbelieveable quality. The ability to play original PlayStation games (faster and smoother than the original Playstation), the ability to play PlayStation2 specific games, the ability to play DVDs (the PS2 actually has a pretty good quality DVD player), and finally, the ability to play music CDs (which the sound is so crisp). The PS2 offers so much in such a tiny little package.
*The Last Word*
You must go out and purchase a PS2 (if you can find one :P). It will leave you breathless and wanting nothing more. With the line of games getting only better (Black and White, Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 2) you will find the PlayStation2 the system to buy and you will pat yourself on the back after doing so.

Jean Francois Chatal
Jean Francois Chatal is a Distinguished Professor of nuclear medicine at the University of Nantes, France. In 1975, he created a research team devoted to diagnostic (scintigraphic imaging) and therapeutic (radioimmunotherapy) use of radio-labeled monoclonal antibodies in oncology. This research team was a part of a larger group specialized in immunology and oncology and affiliated to the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) and the University of Nantes.The first patient with a colorectal carcinoma was injected in Nantes with a 131I-labeled antitumor monoclonal antibody in June 1981. At the end of the 1980s, he developed a strong collaboration with Immunotech company in Marseille for the preclinical and clinical application of an original and innovative pretargeting technology based on the use of unlabeled bispecific antibody and radiolabeled bivalent hapten and which had just been patented by Immunotech. After a clear documentation of the efficacy of this technology in diagnostic application (immunoscintigraphy) at the begining of the 1990s, the first phase I radioimmunotherapy study was initiated in 1996 in patients with medullary thyroid cancer and small cell lung cancer. Recently, in 2006, a paper published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology reported, for the first time, a survival benefit of pretargeted radioimmunotherapy in an advanced solid tumor (medullary thyroid carcinoma). Chatal initiated, with 2 other colleagues, the project of installation in Nantes in 2008, of a high-energy/high-intensity cyclotron, termed ARRONAX, for the production of innovative radionuclides for diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine research in Europe. He wrote 180 original papers and presented more than 100 invited lectures.

Pepsi Delays Removal of Known Carcinogen from Soda Products
Pepsi has delayed their promise to remove the known carcinogen 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) from their soft drinks nationwide until February 2014. California, in response to its Proposition 65, is the only state to have Pepsis free of the cancer-causing ingredient. Pepsi products tested in San Antonio contained some of the highest amounts of 4-MEI in the nation.
About 4-MEI
Information from the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.
- 4-MEI is formed during the production of certain caramel coloring agents used in food and drinks.
- Studies in 2007 by the National Toxicology Program show that long term exposure can result in lung cancer in men and women.
- As of now, there is no national requirement for companies to disclose if their products use more than what the OEHHA considers a safe amount of 4-MEI.
4-MEI in Soft Drinks
Both Coke and Pepsi stated they would remove 4-MEI from their caramel coloring last year. While Coke has followed through with the statement (on average 9 out of 10 tested Coke products were 4-MEI free), Pepsi has only made the effort in California where it is required that their product be labeled as containing a know carcinogen as an ingredient. Pepsi does not plan to remove 4-MEI nationwide until February 2014, but has yet to give any reason for the delay.
California's Proposition 65 requires that all companies are required to label products that contain known carcinogens that exceed the CA safety level.
High 4-MEI Levels Found in San Antonio
Current tests show that Pepsi's sodas contain a much larger amount of 4-MEI than what is considered safe by the OEHHA. Pepsi in San Antonio, Texas was found to contain 181.05 micrograms of 4-MEI per serving when tested in June. This is 6 times above the CA safety level.

Riverfront brewery brings the promise of a 'LoDo' for Grand Junction
October 31, 2012
GRAND JUNCTION – Ceremonial shovels full of dirt always signal the start of something new. But soil scooped up Tuesday in a riverfront field that used to be covered with uranium tailings has extra import. It promises to be the start of Grand Junction's own little version of Denver's LoDo.
The groundbreaking for an Edgewater Brewery and bottling facility follows nearly 15 years of waiting and planning on the part of Jim Jeffryes and Eric Ross, who opened another brewpub in Grand Junction seven years ago. Their development follows years of work by the city to turn what used to be a contaminated eyesore into an attractive extension of downtown.
"It was just waiting for someone like me to come in and be crazy," said Jeffryes as he mingled with rootbeer-sipping local officials who celebrated the unusual groundbreaking.
Jeffryes bought land along the Colorado River in 1998, five years after it was cleaned of mill tailings. He made the purchase five years before it was fronted by the Riverside Parkway that has funneled increased traffic to that section of town.
The site of this second Kannah Creek Brewing Co. brewery is in an area that is undergoing other transitions from heavily industrial to a mix of residential, commercial and industrial.
The Western Colorado Botanical Gardens was one of the first non-industrial enterprises to move into the scenic area that is laced together by a paved riverfront trail. The city created a 160-acre Las Colonias Park along the path that is yet to be landscaped and developed. The city also has identified a site for an outdoor amphitheater and possibly a community recreation center.

Throughout the recent months at both the Cloud Computing Firestarter event series and various community events, I've had many, many questions from partners, prospective partners and even resellers of competitive cloud platforms about becoming an Office 365 partner/reseller. I've frequently discussed the financial benefits of the partner program where customers pay the same amount for Office 365 regardless of whether it's sold by Microsoft or a partner, yet the partner received a monthly annuity payment from Microsoft for as long as that customer uses the service. I've also pointed them to the Office 365 website to get more information and sign up for the program. Well I now have a fantastic resource that I can share to give partners a comprehensive getting started guide to Office 365. This document, authored by folks from Microsoft Denmark is a Getting Started with Office 365 package that provides many relevant links for e-learning, documentation and much more. You can download this guide here.
Also, for those of you who attended the outstanding presentation on Office 365 by my good friend and colleague Angi Livermore, you can find the slide deck for download here. For those of you who missed it, the entire audience gave Angi rave reviews on the session and kept asking for more! My peer on the developer side Bill Zach, and one of the founders of NYEWIN even commented to me that he's seen Office 365 Presentations before, but that was the best by far! Angi's planning on doing a continuation of this session at the NY Enterprise Windows User's Group in the near future, so stay tuned.

Long-range forecasters have a new prediction for this summer, just out this week. It's HOT.
The forecast for the June through August period says the probabilities point toward above-average temperatures for the northeastern United States. The same holds for the Western states and for Southern Florida. The map's below. Until recently, the forecast showed no clear trends on temperatures for our region. Now it does.
The same forecasters found no clear trends, however, on precipitation for the summer in these parts. The only strong trends seem to be in the Northwest states, which face dry conditions for the summer.

"I'm not busy, I just live a full life," I tell myself a lot. My life is full to the brim with things and people I adore, and it's days like today where I could not feel more thankful looking back on the past seven days. This week I was so blessed to shoot two photoshoots, spend lots of time with sweet friends + family, celebrate a happy thing or two, and work on jobs and projects that I love. I read, I doodled, and wrote. There were times when I just wanted the weekend (typical), and others when I just sat back, took a deep breath, and wished time wouldn't move on so swiftly because I wanted a moment to stay a whole lot longer than it did. I thought and prayed my little heart out about a multitude of things because I couldn't get through life without Jesus, and this week was absolutely no exception. I listed to music (current favorites: Bethel Music: The Loft Sessions, Kari Jobe: Where I Find You) all day long on some of the last few days, and relished a little silence in the early mornings on others. I sang and practiced and studied and, yes, I cried and asked God "why", because life is so not perfect all the time. I worked hard and played hard, I traveled and I stayed home, I talked about both complicated and unimportant things, danced in the kitchen and laughed at myself more than anything or anyone else. I'm not busy, I just live a full life. Yeah.... really full.
Happy Weekend.

All in a day's work for an uShaka Sea World diver
It's incredible that a diver can burn up to 20 times more energy underwater than he does while completing the same task above water, but it's true, which is why divers often tuck into hearty meals when they emerge from the depths.
My responsibility as part of the 16-member team of uShaka Sea World service divers is to maintain our high standards of exhibit cleanliness.
Although recreational divers often shy away from the water when weather conditions and good common sense make getting into the water a bad idea, service divers dive regardless of water temperatures and weather conditions.
Since the use of harsh chemicals in the animal exhibits is obviously not an option, combating the build-up of algae takes a team of 15 strong young men four hours' dive time each day, 365 days a year.
We begin our workday in the early hours of the morning armed with hand scourers, brushes and liberal doses of good, old-fashioned elbow grease. Now this may seem straightforward, but eradicating 15 different species of algae, during the early days of their life cycle, is no easy task.
We spend our working days in wetsuits which change from 3mm to 5mm in thickness as the seasons change and the water becomes colder.
Our dive time is a maximum of one hour, before we surface to refill our oxygen cylinders, rest our muscles and warm up. We might also enjoy a meal, drink a warm beverage and play a few ball games before heading back to work.
The best part of my day is getting to work early in the morning and assisting the dolphin staff with their early morning checks before going into the water.

Some (bad) news about Hard Drives.
The Hard Drive world has seen a lot of action lately.
When inventory levels plummeted 90 percent in less than a week after the Thailand flood in October, the top-selling hard drives on Newegg.com and Tigerdirect.com went up anywhere from 50 up to an absurd 150 percent. Over the past few weeks, Hard Drive prices are finally starting to drop, and the trend should continue throughout the year until supply meets demand sometime around Q3 2012. AppleInsider did a fascinating analysis on this topic by extrapolating MacBook Pro pricing.
On related news, Apple is apparently in the process of acquiring Anobit, which makes chips that greatly increase the performance of flash memory on devices like the iPhone 4S.
Seagate Technology completed the acquisition of the hard disk drive business of Samsung Electronics for $1.4 billion in stock and cash. The deal was approved in Australia, China, and the E.U.
In 2010, HDD shipments from both Seagate and Samsung represented 40 percent of the HDD market. Western Digital and Hitachi Global Storage Technologies still held the number one position with a 50 percent share. Western Digital intends to buy Hitachi Global Storage Technologies for $4.3 billion in cash and stock and the acquisition is expected to be finalized by March.

Neighbors Say Prostitution Is Surging In Their Neighborhoods
Fifty-four people were arrested this week in a Franklin County Sheriff's Office Prostitution sting.
East side neighborhood leader Allen Carrel said that his Ganthers Place neighborhood has a story to tell.
"We've had success with parks and block watches and improving, beautifying our neighborhood," Carrel said.
The work in the neighborhood even has attracted new resident, Joel Cosme.
"There's definitely a community of people who really want to improve it," Cosme said.
In recent months, though, Cosme said that that he has noticed a troubling trend.
"I just see men and women congregating on the corner there, and you can kind of easily tell what sort of people they are," Cosme said.
Neighbors said that prostitution is polluting their neighborhood in numbers that they have not seen in years.
Carrel said that he came home earlier this week to find a transaction in progress.
"It was her safety that we were concerned about, but come to find out, she was a prostitute and she was beside my house," Carrel said. "I went out and actually stopped the truck and they took off, but we chased them."
Mike Williams said that you can see women loitering on corners and leaning into cars in his neighborhood near Parsons Avenue.
Residents are asking city leaders for help, fearing that their neighborhoods will end up paying the price.
"If we don't do something, everything we fought for over here is gonna go backwards," Carrel said.

The Abbey is supposedly the burial place of King Arthur and his Queen Guinevere - the whole story is there to see at the Abbey and very interesting it is.

My best straight friend (male) is getting married next month. You can go to their wedding website and choose to (a) buy gifts from their registry or (b) pay for individual chunks of their honeymoon, depending on which kind of gift you want to give them.
My friend expressed a preference for honeymoon payments, whereas his fiancee put some dishes I had recommended on her gift registry. I'm more of a "gift" person, I suppose, and I'd kind of picked out the dishes, so I chose placesettings over payments (they've lived together for two or three years, so it's really just a vacation).
I liked having these options. They did this nicely.

I'm from Philly and this is not unusual nor exclusive to Italians. It is more common in New York, though, because even here we associate it as a "New York thing".
I also think younger people everywhere are doing this now. Whoever said upthread that toasters and dishes are always appreciated is dead wrong. Most couples married today do not need toasters or towels or teapots; if the couple hasn't already been co-habitating for years, at least one (but more often both) of them already has a fully appointed household that they've built up since entering the workforce.
Many people delay marriage until after 30, and the days of bachelors living in spartan dumps went out somewhere with the metrosexual revolution. Even dude-bros know that to get a chick to spend the night more than once, they need a nice place. Most newlyweds I know are PURGING redundant household crap when merging their lives, not desperate for more of it.
Also, the accumulation of more and more "stuff" is not a priority for everyone. Not every married couple today wants a full china service for 12 or 600 matching towels. Certainly very few actually need those things.
Cash (or a check) is far more practical.

Some say its to cover the cost of renting a hall, dinner, or honeymoon. I say if you are that broke then dont throw such an elaborate wedding and expect everyone else to pay for it.

R51, I never said you couldn't explore on your own what the couple wanted. I was merely responding to what the OP and others wrote in this thread. I also never said you couldn't donate to a charity if that's what you or the couple wanted.
Nothing in my post indicated that the size/amount of the gift was important. I never mentioned "several hundred" or any dollar amount.
I'm also not talking about people who "have everything", I'm just saying that most couples who marry now don't need things like toasters or place settings. I was specifically thinking of my sister who recently married, who is very middle class (as am I), because this was her issue when planning her wedding; people wanted to give her things she didn't need, which she felt was wasteful and pointless all around. Of course she accepted every gift she received graciously, but she specifically avoided a gift registry for this reason. She wanted gifts that were "thoughtful" (personal and creative, not picked off of a list), or else cash, but she didn't offer any guidance because she felt doing so was tacky and presumptuous. So she got toasters and towels she didn't need.
I don't even know people who "have everything". But I know plenty of single people who already have basic household appliances, dishes and linens, and don't suddenly need any more upon marriage.

$250 per person is about the right amount EXPECTED for an average middle class wedding in NJ and NY.
Do the math, 200 guests x $250 = $50,000

I have NEVER seen a profit made at a wedding - usually a loss.. Most general attendee non family couples are giving $250/300/400 per couple AT MOST and the cost PP is at least $150/$175
Not sure how these folks are making a mint... unless MOM & DAD paid for the whole thing which rarely happens with non-socialites/the wealthy.
As brides & grooms get older usually the cost of the wedding is falling more and more on bride & groom with contributions from both sides of the family to "help".

No cash unless family or close friends and as a poster pointed out above it is done quietly.
Some parts of some cultures have always accepted money but still other members of their cultures find it tacky. I'm half Italian and grew up in a middle class family which considered giving cash as crass. My mom (NYC German/Irish) told me about the wedding of one of my dad's relatives (Italians) where money was given in an almost ceremonial style - my mother was appalled that she even knew these people. I'm sure I'm exaggerating - she was always a kind and understanding person
Greed and ignorance is the basis of the math calculations for money to pay for the reception. I have also found that even though people have been living together and have lots of money they use their wedding as the chance to upgrade their appliances - registries asking for $200 coffeemakers, $400 down comforters, $150 bed pillows, etc.
How can every friend be able to afford $250 or $500 per wedding especially in summers with lots of weddings and if they have to travel to the wedding as well.
People are so selfish. It is beyond rude to demand or even expect anything of guests except their RSVP and their presence.
You most certainly can still give a gift up to a year following the wedding. Was there some constitutional convention sponsored by WeddingRegistries.com Inc. that tried to change it?

R78, Heifer International sends the bee hive(s) to a needy family or village in a third world country, where the local economy will be stimulated by later sales of honey & beeswax, while the bees pollinate the crops of nearby farmers to increase production.
The gift giver makes this happen by sending money to Heifer International, & then tells the bride & groom that a charitable donation has been made on their behalf. Heifer provides a gift card & brochure explaining how the donation is being used.

I've heard that charitable donations are no longer proper because you're making a statement for someone without their consent. For instance if you donate to this bee charity on someone's behalf, they might be anti-bee or something or don't agree with the charity and don't want their name(s) associated with the charity. And I can understand why people might be upset by this. Charitable giving is a personal thing.

I don't disagree with you, R89. But I don't associate with anti-bee people, so I'm not invited to their weddings & the dilemma doesn't arise.
Who the hell is anti-bee anyhow?

My nephew is getting $1000 in cash for his wedding. I have no issue with cash for close family members. For friends, the registry is the way to go. It's always been that way for my Midwestern family. Thankfully, I grew up in the North.

I don't know any anti-bee people, but I wouldn't want to make that choice for someone, in case they are anti-bee. Could you imagine having your name associated with a bee charity and you're totally against bees.

I guess on DL you can find anyone or anything.
I hate bees, don't like honey, and find them useless and a nuisance.
Since the bees are dying off right and left, we see that other bugs can pollinate plants.
I'm doing all I can to contribute to sudden hive death by using the Bayer insecticides in the garden that have been deemed most toxic to bees.

Sure, because they wanted a donation toward their honeymoon in St. Lucia or some useless crap they can't afford themselves.

Shit, if they are straight people getting married and enjoying rights I don't have they are lucky to get a card. If you can't afford an expensive wedding and/or are only getting married to get the gifts, fuck you.

I forgot to say that when I learned that cash was the expected gift for weddings in NYC, I then asked why did people register for gifts? I was told that was where you shopped for the engagement party gifts. That's when I realized what a racket it all is.

Registering for gifts is beyond tacky. The whole concept of a registry came up in the olden days when there'd be one department store in town, and the bride would pick out her silver and china patterns. The store would write it down so well-wishers could surprise the bride with something in her pattern. That's it. It wasn't supposed to be a "BUY ME THIS" list. That's so gross.

Donna is taking the high road with everyone today. First, Eric -- telling him, she believes he should walk the runway and take his well deserved bow alone. Eric should embrace the spotlight as his very own for once. Donna's selflessness touches Eric. Felicia storms in warning Nick is on his way. Nick is shortly behind Felicia. He wants to know, is Eric going to divorce Stephanie or is Nick going to be forced to reclaim the company?
Eric tip toes around the question; while Felicia is forceful answering "NO!" her father isn't going to divorce Stephanie, and there is nothing legally Nick can do about it. Nick and Felicia exchange threats. Eric isn't going to be bullied into anything, not by anyone, and that goes for Felicia, too. Nick leaves Eric alone to make his decision before the fashion show. Eric tells Felicia that she doesn't have to like Donna, but she does have to deal with Donna at work and in Eric's life. Speaking of Donna, she has allowed Eric time to discuss his future with Nick and Felicia while she tends to family business.
Brooke tells Katie how furious she is with Donna for broadcasting her rape to everyone. It only gets worse when the doorbell rings and it is Stephen at the door. Brooke isn't happy to see him. Stephen rushes in anxious to hear what has happened to Brooke. Donna arrives moments later. She runs into her daddy's arms like a child. Stephen ad Katie can feel the tension so they give Donna and Brooke time to sort through their looming issues. Brooke blasts Donna for using her violation to further Donna's own cause.
Donna tries a new approach. Donna holds Brooke somewhat accountable for what happened to her. Why? Donna explains, Brooke has let Stephanie push, hurt, and bully her for years and just lets Stephanie roll all over her. Katie couldn't believe Donna's accusation until she heard the reasoning. Even Katie agrees Donna is making sense.
Donna wants the Logans to band together as a family for strength, just like the Forresters do in a time of crisis. Brooke can't do that because of one person and one person alone. Her father, Stephen. "So you can forgive Stephanie but you can forgive our father?" Donna asks. Brooke sees Donna's point and agrees to let Stephen into the family fold.
Brooke turns to Stephen and tells him everything. Everything except Stephanie's role. Donna gladly takes over revealing the really nasty details of what happened. Stephen is in utter disbelief.
Now that Stephen knows the truth, what will he do with it? Nick may not be the only person in LA gunning for Stephanie when all is said and done.

OK. I hate to do this. I hate to get all lecture-y, but today's one of those days I have no choice, because there's a lot of misreporting going on on the Internet and it's important to clear at least a few things up.
I have no idea if the main vocal stars of "Futurama" — John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Billy West, Tress MacNeille and Katey Sagal — are going be recast. If they were, that would be a pretty ridiculous public relations blunder.
First off, credit to Forces of Geek for breaking this story and providing the casting report that seems to prove that, indeed, a search is on for new vocal talents to play Philip J. Fry, Leela, Bender, Zoidberg and the rest of the "Futurama" gang. Kudos.
Much less credit to Forces of Geek for reporting that the entity attempting to undertake this recasting is FOX, an error which frankly throws the entire story under the bus.
To clarify, when reporters refer to "FOX" or "Fox" (without any additional words afterwards), they're referring to a television network, a distribution system for television programming owned by the good people at NewsCorp.
FOX, the television network, both aired "Futurama" for many seasons and cancelled "Futurama."
FOX, the television network, has absolutely nothing to do with "Futurama" as of this exact second.
The problem here stems from generally shoddy online reporting of the deal that resurrected "Futurama," a deal that was between Comedy Central and 20th Century Fox TV.
Here's where I have to clarify again: 20th Century Fox TV is a production company, the company that produces "Futurama." Although the same people own 20th Century Fox TV and FOX, they are not the same thing and they have completely different corporate structures and a deal with one is not a deal with the other.
So Comedy Central and 20th Century Fox are bringing "Futurama" back to TV. 20th Century Fox TV has the option to shop first-run episodes of "Futurama" to broadcast networks. That would include FOX. As of now, though, FOX has not acquired broadcast rights to new episodes of "Futurama."
FOX *may* acquire broadcast rights to new episodes of "Futurama." In fact, it's expected that such a deal will be announced at Comic-Con next week. As of now, though, FOX is unconnected to new episodes of "Futurama" and the network has nothing to do with any recasting. In fact, the casting noticed published by Forces of Geek clearly says "Twentieth Century Fox Television."
This is the same confusion that led to the online freak-out over FOX not airing the "Epitaph One" episode of "Dollhouse," where many people chose not to note that the episode had been ordered by 20th Century Fox TV and not by FOX and therefore FOX had no plans or obligations to air said episode. Instead, people reported that FOX was choosing to cut short the "Dollhouse" order and that the series was cancelled.
It was not.
But back to "Futurama."
The good folks at The Hollywood Reporter have confirmed that 20th Century Fox TV is attempting to recast the voices for "Futurama."
The trade paper has a statement from the production company that reads, "We love the 'Futurama' voice performers and absolutely wanted to use them, but unfortunately, we could not meet their salary demands. While replacing these talented actors will be difficult, the show must go on. We are confident that we will find terrific new performers to give voice to (creators) Matt (Groening) and David (Cohen)'s brilliantly subversive characters."
The Hollywood Reporter story uses very clear use of the conditional tense. The story has the headline, "'Futurama' searches for a new voice" and it ends with the sentence, "Sources indicated that it is still possible that the two sides may come to an agreement."
But the story in Entertainment Weekly, posted just minutes after the trade story, with the same statement, uses the headline, "'Futurama' getting new voices for Fry, Leela, Bender, and others." Note the absence of conditional tense. Also, reading the article, note the absence of the possibility of an eventual agreement.
You see, it isn't uncommon for 20th Century Fox to play hardball with its animated vocal talent and creative forces. Ask the voices from "The Simpsons." Ask Seth MacFarlane. Then again, Seth MacFarlane still works on all of his 20th Century Fox TV shows. And despite holdouts and protestations most of the voices on "The Simpsons" are the same voices who will always be there.
The very real possibility exists that 20th Century Fox TV is negotiating, behind the scenes. Because of the specific deal between Comedy Central and 20th Century Fox TV, there is a timetable that has to be met. Given that writers are writing episodes and a studio is expecting to produce episodes, looking for a way to cover bases isn't fan-friendly, but it's logical business. It doesn't mean anything until the new voices have signed contracts, recorded episodes and those episodes are about to air.
"Futurama" will be at Comic-Con next Saturday. The exact tone of that panel may well be governed by further developments in this story. There may be a ridiculous amount of hostility from a fan community that's been teased too much already. If this specter is still hovering in the air, what ought to be an entirely positive panel celebrating a beloved show's return could become a public relations disaster.
My bet? Everybody eventually makes nice and the panel celebrates FOX acquiring new "Futurama" episodes and the return of the vocal cast. But I know absolutely nothing.
Stay tuned.
[Update #1: Variety has a good deal more information than the Hollywood Reporter.]
