Rifle-shaped cake gives Middlebury baker a shot
Some praise confection, others bash it as insensitive after Newtown shooting
MIDDLEBURY -- For nearly three years, Jennifer Montalto has imagined and built cakes that command attention.
Much like many televised celebrity specialty cake bakers, Montalto constructs cakes that look like real things. Well, semi-real things.

I'll tell you what is insulting.
Teachers and school administrators who perpetually want more money but will not step up when it comes time to protect our children who we have left in their care.
When Adam Lanza arrived at Sandy Hook that horrible day there was NO question at all what he had in mind.
He had to shoot out the door to get in.
Obviously he wasn't selling pencils.
If there is now any teacher, administrator, custodian, resource officer, parent or passerby who can say with a straight face they wouldn't have wanted to be in the lobby, ARMED, to greet Lanza and stop him in his tracks...I'll call them a liar straight to their face. "

Are these the same 90% that want to grant the Westboro Baptist Church the right to go to Sandy Hook during the funerals and chant your baby is dead because there are gays in Sandy Hook?? But not allow us to protect ourselves with the gun of choice?
You have your head up your arse sir. Read some history. People all over this earth have been slaughtered and continue to be slaughtered by their own government DAILY. You may not believe Obama would do it. Do you positively know the person "elected" 100 years from now wouldn't? Once the guns are taken, they will never be given back. Then we can talk about why other countries don't attack us. It's because WE are armed.

Kitty wouldn't want a gun, She would site Chris Mathews speeches to the shooter and he would shoot himself.
These parents haven't learned the lesson yet. They still wont open the wallet and pay for an armed police officer to protect the schools. Maybe after the next shooting or the one after that.
Baking a cake is insensitive but tearing the Constitution to shreds isn't? Another idea to protect Sandy Hook is to close the exits on 84, turn off all the cable tv, and kill the press. We don't want them hearing, seeing, or being told anything that might upset the town. "

But the Dems and Libs that do not understand the importance of the constitution need to stop and think:
Because roughly 70% of the prison population is black maybe we should alter the 13th Amendment.
As someone aptly wrote in a recent letter so that we don't hear things that might offend Heir Obama we will alter the 1st Amendment (you will not have to obtain a permit to speak in public).
You know Heir Obama despises the constitution, he recently stated "I could do so much more if it wasn't for that document created by our fore fathers".
Lets throw out the 6th Amendment. You might get a trial after 10 years because government is "just to busy" to worry about you being incarcerated without being convicted.
I find it just abhorrent the libs and dems fail to understand the value of the Constitution.
Be sure there will be other Sandy Hook's in one form or another. It has been happening since the beginning of civilization.
I will leave you with this one thought:
If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his. "

Sandy, typical liberal. You have a losing argument so call those who oppose you stupid.
There is not one person (of a right mind) who doesn't have sympathy for those 26 killed that day. Some of us don't want it to happen to our families too, so we choose to protect them with guns. Some of us are afraid to own guns so we rely on the police to protect us. Police can't protect you. All they can do it investigate the crime after it happens.
I'll ask you 2 questions.
Do you want ALL guns banned or just assault riffles? If yes then skip #2
What is more important? 300 people killed at the mall in one day then no more killing for the year or 16 people killed for 365 days?
The reason I ask this is because there are 300 people killed/yr by all riffles added up (assault riffles being included). There are 6000 killed/yr by handguns. Thats 20x more than riffles.
I could at least see an argument for handguns or ALL guns being banned.
ALL riffles added together add up to 2.5% of the murders in the US yearly. You stand a higher % of being killed in a fist fight or struck by a claw hammer!
The assault riffle ban argument doesn't hold water. The safety we give up banning them doesn't add up. You've been fooled by your elected officials and liberal media.
Now who is the DUMMY? "
conservative1 wrote on Apr 10, 2013 5:26 PM:
Those 26 are dead, we can't bring them back. I just don't want my grandkids joining them in heaven. (can I say heaven without being labeled crazy?)
Had there been a cop at the school with a gun, there would be one dead, Lanza.
How do you propose to confiscate all the assault riffles and guns with magazines over 10 rounds from those who use them for crimes? All the illegal firearms owned by criminals without permits? hmm you and Malloy haven't figured that out yet? "

If he had a single hair on his behind he would make it illegal to manufacture guns in the state. Then I would say the man is serious. Apparently it's ok to make guns here and sell them 1 foot over our borders. Of course those guns will NEVER make their way back to CT noooo.

Then why after our neighbors are murdered are we asking everyone to turn in their guns?

I''ve always liked Carolina boots and have many pairs but these are the best I''ve had. They are excellent for climbing and super comfortable.
Review by: Roger, Valencia PA, 10/2/2011
I ordered mine 1/2 size larger and wider than my normal size. The heavy insulation makes the shoe run smaller and narrower but if you order yours larger and wider it will be fine. Great boot
Review by: Steve, Monterey CA, 9/10/2011
These boots are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn I''m used to having to break then in for at least the first week or two but this pair feels great the very first day I put them on. I would highly suggest ordering a wider fit because they are kind of narrow but fortunately I did and they are great well made boots. No more wasting money on redwings I will be picking up a new pair of Carolinas from now on.

Fallout New VegasPros: Game works rather well. Modded it and it hasn't crashed yet on me. Cons: Little glitchy once and a awhile. Did you find this review helpful? |
Fallout....Pros: Outstanding game... Cons: Case when arrived, was shattered into a dozen pieces... The game itself did not appear to be damaged, but the artwork (DVD Sleeve) was torn and ripped... the game was only wrapped in a paper packaging (NOT a blisterpak) and failed to survive UPS handling... Other Thoughts: Since this did not ship directly from newegg I cannot fault their efforts... but the company packaging should be better than it was... Did you find this review helpful? |
For $20, it's a steal!Pros: Great game even for $40. Cons: Come on, for $20? None. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great gamePros: love the game. The DLC was amazing and I only bought it for $10. What their to complain. Cons: Carsh four time will playing but that with over 44 hours of play time so not bad. Did you find this review helpful? |
AmazingPros: This is Fallout 3, just better. Since it has been out for so long now, most of the gamebreaking glitches are fixed and numerous patches have fixed random issues. The addons are great and the game is just plain fun. It runs off the exact engine of FO3, so you essentially play the same game, just a different location. Cons: Game still glitches from time to time, it is a little slow and over whelming at first, but stick with it. Other Thoughts: Glad I bought it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Fallout NVPros: Plays great with no mods. Could not finish due to temptation. Cons: Could not resist modding this game and have not been able complete the game due to crashes! Other Thoughts: Definitely far buggier than Fallout 3! 2 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good Job Bethesda!Pros: I've beaten this game on xbox(all DLC) atleast 4times and evey time it entertains. this game is entertaining to play normally, it gives the rewarding feeling when you LVL up or find certain items, and its just a very unique setting. Messing around on this game with or w/o friends is amazingly fun, also if you like watching people explode in a rediculous manner it'll make you laugh indefinately. playing this game with mods is just crazy. this game is amazing, hence the 5stars, but fallout 3 has a better story. with all the DLC(which comes with this edition of the game) it adds alot of story and tons of weapons and apparel. Cons: at times the quests can be annoying but still somehow entertaining :) by annoying I mean (go fetch me this, and that and that) there are afew quests like that but overall an amazing game. Other Thoughts: BUY THIS GAME, if your not sure if you want this game and nobody you know owns it, buy the original game w/o all dlc for $5 on newegg 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Flawed but greatPros: I'm on my second play-through and I got a couple hundred hours from the first go 'round. And that's REAL game play, not dieing over and over. In fact, there isn't much that can kill you at higher levels, if you're reasonably careful. There is simply an amazing amount of content. Cons: Crashes. Lots and lots and lots of crashes. So many crashes that when I first attempted to play the game, I gave up and un-installed it. Then someone told me to spend some time with Google and I found enough third-party bug patches to make it playable. Even today, I sometimes have ten or even twenty crashes an hour, although other times I might play an hour or two without a crash. Always just the game though, it's never locked up or BSOD'd me. Other Thoughts: I typically only play FPSs and unloading two or three magazines into someone's unarmored face can be rather off-putting, but I LOVE the open world. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great Big Fun GamePros: This is a big game. You decide where to go and when. Some things are too challenging early on and you have to come back after you level up. I have played the game + 1 DLC. So far 180 hours of play. Some really funny dialogue, here and there. Good mix of serious and humor. Cons: It's almost impossible to shoot someone/thing from a distance but they have no trouble shooting you. Have to get in close to hit them (and shoot them over and over usually). Game crashes now and then, have to restart, but it always goes back to the exact spot. Other Thoughts: This was a lot of game for the money and I still have 3 DLCs to play. Just an excellent game. Must register with Steam to play. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Fall ow UP :)Pros: This game is fun. I played every single fallout game ive been able to get my hands on. The only one i didn't make it through was 2. The RTS 2 version is the one i speak of. Fallout games are SUPER. If you enjoy RTS games such as xcom or final fantasy tactics try "FALLOUT brotherhood of steel". Before the fallout games went to fps type of play that was their newest title i think. Might not be but its fallout story based game. Cons: This game had a sale on it making it 5 bucks a week after i paid 30. Whats a con is its totally worth 60. Stop making me spend money video game world. Also my gf's son got this game on my xbox 360 because i would not let him play my computer. He is 9, some video games might not be for younger kids but i played them at that age and hold good moral's at high value. Did you find this review helpful? |

"I don't think we had them third-and-5-plus,'' Casteel said. "They were really successful on first down running the football. And then if we did have some success on first down, they'd dump a ball out for 6 or 7 yards and it was third-and-2. They executed just the way they wanted to do it.
"They did a great job preparing for us. And obviously we didn't do a good enough job preparing for them.''
The only time Syracuse had a bad second-down situation was early in the fourth quarter with the score already 35-16. A penalty - the Orange only had three - made it second-and-18, but tailback Antwon Bailey lofted a rainbow pass down the field that no Mountaineer could reach. It went for a 20-yard gain.
Syracuse did manage to trick West Virginia a few times, but in a very conventional way. The Orange would pound the ball between the tackles or use swing passes to keep the defense near the line of scrimmage, and then go over the top. They weren't long passes, but they didn't have to be.
Of Nassib's four TD passes, three were to comically wide-open receivers. He also had another wide-open pass dropped in the end zone. Tight end Nick Provo caught three of the scoring passes.
"We have to learn from it. You have to learn from this,'' Casteel said. "We have to get better, and obviously we're not there yet.''
West Virginia might have been lulled into a false sense of security after solid performances as against Bowling Green and Connecticut, who averaged just 246 total yards against WVU. But against a team that didn't make mistakes - Syracuse had one major penalty and no turnovers - the Mountaineers couldn't get off the field.
They get another chance a Saturday against Rutgers, another offensively challenged team (111th in rushing, 97th in total offense) that will be playing at home with something to prove. The Scarlet Knights lost 16-14 at Louisville Friday night.
"Everybody's embarrassed,'' Casteel said. "The coaches are embarrassed, the kids are embarrassed. We were on national TV and Syracuse put it to us. Hopefully we'll be excited to play Rutgers and put this behind us.''

Mar 8, 2014Ultimately, not quite as good as "Fast Five", but this film has the same style as the previous film and it's just great. I had fun with this film, simply because it was not just some random car racing with a dull and lame plot.
Feb 14, 2014
Jan 27, 2014Owen McKenna Rio Rancho, NM. The movie is action packed, although I though it started off a little slow. Paul Walker and Vin Diesel continue to please. The addition of "The Rock" made the movie.
Jan 8, 2014::laughing:: Of course it's stupid but it's fun. There are so many ridiculous things that happen you really need a well-developed sense of humor to truly enjoy this film. It's worth a buck and a quarter rental as long as you don't expect it to make any sense at all.

Jan 5, 2014Não mudou muita coisa.
Dec 11, 2013people need to calm the f*** down! I truly do not know why so many people love this movie/series, it embarrassing just how little it takes to make a so called "masterpiece". why can't you understand that it is complete garbage? I get so angry just by thinking about arguing with a person blinded by the stupidity of the series, i really try to talk them into sense but they just won't realize it

Nov 29, 2013It lacks the fun of Fast Five and creates it's own scientific formulaes with its stupid action sequences, but surprisingly delivers a great action movie.
Nov 24, 2013I haven't this much fun with a movie in a long time, all you need to know is fast cars, hot girls, explosions, and muscles. Just leave your brain at home and enjoy the ride.

Sep 26, 2013Simple stories, wonderful cars, hot chicks, spinning action, petrol. Why I love.
Those who loved the previous parts of this is going to like. I loved it. -
Sep 12, 2013I think this movie is really pretty nice. Very interesting, breathtaking movie. Great movie, i like the idea of this so much. Very nice. I watched it a 3 months ago and i still remember how it was amazing.
Sep 9, 2013[6.6] A small step back from Fast Five, this movie is more ridiculous, but not always in the best way. From a cop unlawfully deciding to save a criminal all the way to a 28.75 mile long runway, it takes its ridiculousness slightly too seriously which is where it goes wrong. Despite that, the movie is still just as fun as its predecessor. We want less story, more explosions.
Aug 31, 2013The only thing that I want to say is that I hate Fast and Furious. I don't understand why people love it. It's horrible. It's terrible!!! It's only wasting of time. Save your money!!!
Aug 24, 2013Best one of the series so far. Filled with action, high speed chases. It's awesome, just keeps getting better and better. I love the story, it's complicated sometimes but that makes it fun to watch.
Aug 19, 2013
Aug 18, 2013Guilty pleasure! It's the longest running car-racing movie I know. Anyone would have thought a movie like that might survive a sequel or two. Not this one! The plotline is always predictable, and the characters cliche; but we buy into it. With Paul Walker leading a sexy cast of rebels, one does not simply refuse!
Aug 15, 2013
Aug 12, 2013The worst movie in fast and furious series. Seriously they need stop continuing this franchise. The film literally doesn't have any story rather than chasing some high tech bad guys and that's it.
Jul 31, 2013
Jul 30, 2013This is the best Car serials so cool ,I go to the movie for 3 times !
but only one disadvantage is the performance of the actors
especially poor jobs done by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Vin Diesel, the strongmen do not have good acting perfomance
getsoftwarekey.com -
Jul 24, 2013Rehashed, Cliche, tired and tiring. The plot begs you to just shut up and shut off your brain. I tried. I tried hard to like it. I like big dumb action movies. But the stunts are mostly cgi, the characters are wooden and the plot is riddled with holes. Just skip it. Oh, unless you're a brain dead automaton, then it's for you.
Jul 23, 2013
Jul 18, 2013Best Of The Series Can't Wait For F&F 7 I Love that They Set The Movie In England with Cool Cars, Memorable, Characters High Octane Action (No Pun Intended), Thrilling Twists Galore Thought A Great Film I Have One Problem With It Bounces Back And Forth Between Paces

Jul 13, 2013An unrealistic action packed film with some scenes that cannot happen in real life. However it enjoys the audience and will make you laugh with its moments. Nothing else to say...
Jul 13, 2013It is the sixth entry! Descriptions: Dumb but fun with lots of car crashes and characters you are not interested in or even care about, if you are looking just for fun, but not logic, welcome! BUT if you are looking for something to give you logic, this isn't a movie to enjoy, because it is all about dumb FURIOUS people, driving incredibly FAST cars with dumb crashes and poor story.
Jul 12, 2013
Jul 11, 2013A brilliant follow-up to Fast and Furious 5, Fast and Furious 6 has everything to keep a Fast and Furious fan happy. It has some superb cars, good choice of actors, a great storyline and some awesome stunts that defy the laws of physics, with some funny moments thrown in too. It is one of the best movies that'll be released this year.

Jun 22, 2013
Jun 21, 2013While maybe not as exhilarating as Fast Five might have been, it still delivers a pure rush of high octane action and plenty explosions. A good two hours of mindless, enjoyable popcorn action.
Jun 21, 2013Fast & Furious 6 beat the hell out of World War Z. This movie is to the point where it is getting old just like the characters. VinDeisel needs to get to the gym because he is really out of shape or pills.
Jun 21, 2013I thought fast and furious 6 will be a bummer, but i was glad for being 100% wrong. It's actually very entertaining, fun, fast ride, gun blazing and plus the tank. I came out from the cinema happy and made my Thursday night a very enjoyable one.
Jun 19, 2013
Jun 18, 2013
Jun 17, 2013Fast 6 is good and watchable but not as fast nor furious as Fast Five which was amazing, although in comparison it beats Fast Five in action sequences, but in story, No. It is also (as always) exciting and chilling to watch, Fast 6 isn't bad but definitely it is not enough nor perfect.
Jun 16, 2013
Jun 15, 2013this is a really good movie, for fast and furious
it was in fact everything u shuld expect from this kind of movie
fast cars
fight scenes
bikini scenes
everything was played welll though i liked the actors acting alot
hate the ending!!! -
Jun 15, 2013A movie is well written except the scenes where Vin diesel took a bullet and patch him self up and Air craft runs on strip more than 20 minutes and and travel many miles even Area 51 air strip won''t be enough.Apart from that exiting effects and awesome action.
Jun 15, 2013I don't like the way, FF is evolving, the orinial story about sreet racing is nearly completle forgotten...
The only thing good about this Movie is the cast and the soundtrack... -
Jun 14, 2013
Jun 14, 2013It is what it tries to be. Cool cars, some laughs, fun action sequences with familiar stars. I don't know what anyone else would expect from the series at this point.
Jun 12, 2013
Jun 12, 2013All I'll say about this movie is as follows. Vin Diesel performs a flying headbutt. This movie was just too over the top for me. Still a fan of the series overall, but it's getting pretty crazy now.
Jun 11, 2013Sick soundtrack, attractive women, fast cars, hilarious one-liners, and Dwayne Johnston jumping out of airplanes...Fast and Furious 6 in a nutshell.
Jun 10, 2013Actually really action packed, with solid good racing and good scenes. The comedy is pretty good, and there aren't that many bad scriptings in it. Much better than the other FFs
Jun 9, 2013This was a really great movie tons of action, cool cars and it had a good story well that's what I think of the story. All the actors brought something good.

Jun 7, 2013
Jun 6, 2013Muy buena es esta pelicula, brillante el elenco y el final, con mucha accion.A esta entrega de Rapido y Furioso la vi diferente a las otras entregas, porque para mi incluyo mas drama.
Jun 6, 2013
Jun 5, 2013"Fast 6" provides exactly what we've learned to expect from this series. A fast paced, action packed story of vehicular madness. While 6 doesn't impress as much as 5, it still delivers all of the elements that F&F taught us to love. #seeit
Jun 4, 2013
Jun 4, 2013"The script is dull and lifeless, but the action, the stunts and more importantly the cars are stupendous. It impresses me so much that after so long the Fast and Furious films never cease to amaze me. Another successful entry in the long-run franchise." B+

Jun 1, 2013fast and furious 6 is a spectacle of adrenaline, action, women and cars, possibly is the best in the series, you won't want to avert your face from the screen, it has all the elements to become a fan favorite and the best of the year.

Jun 1, 2013A good action movie to watch after a hard working day/week. All of the favorite characters from previous parts, great fights and action scenes, awesome cars, new sinister bad guy. New storyline threads communicating other series together. The 5th was a bit better, but this one's good too. It's like 90% action, 5% storyline and 5% jokes.

May 30, 20131) It has some cool action scenes, but it's kinda it! 2) The narrative of this movie is one big mess. 3) The characters sometimes behaves in odd way! Conclusion it's inferior than parts 1,2,5 "F & F", but ok if you try not to listen to those ridicoulus dialogues
May 30, 2013
May 29, 2013awesome again..after fast five ..its still getting good..fast six is good and keep the same effect as fast five.....superb actions,,,good story and a perfect ending with surprise post credit
May 29, 2013
May 28, 2013I was practically forced to see it, and really fulfilled my expectations: be that kind of movies that are a mockery of the human intellect. Frightful dialogues, married to disgusting performances. and sincerely give 1 because I saw cute cars.

May 27, 2013Absolutely awesome. The best in the series yet. Cars now only play a small role here. Characters are now the focus and it pays off. This installment focuses more on Dom.
May 27, 2013
May 27, 2013It was very intense and great, with amazing plot and acting, but still not as fast or furious as Fast Five
May 27, 2013Silliness and logic gaps notwithstanding, "Fast & Furious 6" successfully sticks to what made "5" great; more over-the-top action, an alright cast of characters, and a even more heightened sense of fun.
May 27, 2013This movie is awesome! Pure action, nice cars, big muscles, great actors and a good story. I really dont get people who says its a bad movie, its a action movie, not some deep emotional film.

May 26, 2013
May 26, 2013This movie has everything in it to entertain the audience. It has humor, it has great action, and it has story connected with the previous Fast and Furious movies. And it may come as a surprise but it has twists. Not a big one, it won't blow your mind, but you won't be prepared for it. And of course, loyal to the franchise, it has amazing cars and very attractive women.
May 26, 2013
May 25, 2013
May 25, 2013Really liked this flick. Unlike Tony Stark 3, sorry... "Iron Man 3"'... this movie delivers what it promises: fast cars, explosions & bullets. Oh, and its LOUD. Yes, it has its stupidity but damn, it is a Fast & Furious movie. If your expectation is that you are going to see the next Citizen Kane, you are going to be severely disappointed.

May 25, 2013
May 25, 2013Agree with PaulCharles... The only reason I stayed was my nephew wanted to see the movie for his birthday... It was absolutely horrible on all fronts. Don't get the above average reviews for this at all....peace.
May 25, 2013Overall a fun movie but the locations were not as good as prior movies in the series. The cars were kind of boring as well compared to their earlier movies. The Rock made this movie way better than it would otherwise have been.
May 25, 2013This in my opinion is the best Fast and Furious movie, its up there with Fast Five for me. They bring up the action while not leaving their characters behind. There is a particular action stunt that throws the laws of physics out the window. Overall they keep up the momentum still pleasing fans on this exhilarating ride. P.S. stay after the credits.
May 25, 2013
Jun 6, 2013Fast 6 is solid entertainment, but it might have been great if it recognized that a human touch is a rare thing, and when you have it, there's no need to keep clenching it into a fist.
Diesel, of course, slots into the Fast and Furious films as neatly as a dip-stick. Not only does his name remind you of the stuff you pump into a car; when he opens his mouth, he actually sounds like a car. [3 June 2013, p.74]
The driving in the film is a thing of beauty.

St. James's Gate Publick House
67% Were impressed
Serving good pub grub in an authentic environment, St. James's is a nice spot to catch up with friends over a pint or two. The bar top and tables are appropriately weathered, and true to the establishment's Irish roots—St. James Gate, Dublin—it serves Guinness, dark and delicious. It also has a nice selection of Irish Whiskey and single malt Scotch. Be sure to stop by on the weekends to catch some live music.

Authorities around the world have been tracking down members and supporters of the al Qaeda [JURIST news archive] and other terrorists groups. Last month, the US Senate [official website] passed [JURIST report] the Reauthorization Act of 2012 [text, PDF] to extend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Amendments Act of 2008 (FISA) [text, PDF] for five years. FISA grants the National Security Agency (NSA) [official website] the authority to conduct surveillance of Americans' phone calls and emails in attempts to protect against terrorism and other foreign threats. During the same month, Canada's controversial Anti-Terrorism Act [text; CBC backgrounder] was deemed constitutional [JURIST report] by the country's Supreme Court [official website]. In August a judge in Spain charged [JURIST report] two Russian nationals with possession of explosives and membership in a terrorist organization, after they were arrested last week on suspicion of plotting an attack. A month earlier, French authorities announced [JURIST report] that they arrested a suspected terrorist who was born in Tunisia in 1977 and resided in the French city of Toulon and allegedly has ties to al Qaeda. In June a New York native and terrorism suspect pleaded guilty [JURIST report] to charges that he provided the al Qaeda with money and computer assistance.
Tymoshenko has already been sentenced to seven years in prison on corruption charges and is currently awaiting trial for charges of tax evasion [JURIST reports]. That trial has been postponed multiple times [JURIST report] since it began in April. The trials against the former prime minister have sparked international criticism. In September the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee [official website] unanimously passed [JURIST report] a resolution calling for Ukraine to release Tymoshenko from prison. It condemned current Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych [official website] for his role in the allegedly politically motivated imprisonment. In August the Ukrainian Supreme Court [official website, in Ukrainian] upheld [JURIST report] Tymoshenko's abuse of office conviction. During the appeal the government denied allegations that the criminal proceedings against Tymoshenko were a measure initiated by Yanukovich to prevent her from participating in the October elections. The decision came only a day after the European Court of Human Rights [official website] held a hearing [JURIST report] on Tymoshenko's appeal.
Berlusconi is currently a defendant in four trials. In addition to the sex accusations he faces charges of publicly releasing private wiretaps, embezzlement and tax fraud [JURIST reports]. Last week, a request to suspend his tax fraud appeal's trial was also rejected [JURIST report] by Milan Judges. Despite numerous trials Berlusconi has never served prison time. In January 2011, however, the Italian Constitutional Court [official website, in Italian] held hearings and subsequently struck down [JURIST reports] portions of a law [materials, in Italian] backed by Berlusconi granting the premier and other public officials temporary immunity from charges while in office.
Bangladeshi officials established the ICTB [JURIST report] in March 2010 to investigate and prosecute crimes committed in the Bangladesh Liberation War, during which officials estimate that Pakistani soldiers and local militia participated in more than three million killings and 200,000 rapes. Since then, the ICTB has been fraught with controversy and conflict. Earlier this month, the second ICTB rejected a plea for a re-trial [JURIST report] from JI assistant Secretary General Abdul Quader Molla. The tribunal included three high court judges and six investigators retired from civilian, law enforcement and military careers, however Justice Mohammed Nizamul Huq resigned from his post [JURIST report] in December. In June the ICTB rejected a bail petition [JURIST report] from JI leader and former Parliament member Delwar Hossain Sayeedee. In January 2012, the ICTB ordered the arrest [JURIST report] of Ghulam Azam, 89, for alleged crimes against humanity. In November 2011 the ICTB began its first trial [JURIST report] with the case against Delwar Hossain Sayedee. He is charged with 20 alleged violations of the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act of 1973 [text, PDF] including genocide, arson, rape and torture.

Now, everyone from HQ to buyers to store associates can work together to create great experiences for consumers across every channel, and help your business grow.
Successful brands are blurring the boundaries between in store and online—like Burberry, whose retail associates use customers' online preferences to deliver a more personalized in-store shopping experience. Social clienteling gives retailers cross-channel purchase and browsing history, profiles and preferences, smart product recommendations, wish lists, and more—all at associates' fingertips. Burberry's story ›
In addition to engaging with customers, social networks can help retailers quickly spot emerging trends or potential issues. Chipotle Mexican Grill monitors social networks so it can see when there's something great happening in one region that needs to be rolled out to others, or can quickly identify issues with suppliers. Chipotle's story ›
Move beyond traditional customer relationship management with your own custom apps to track customer loyalty, coordinate store rollouts, manage franchises, or connect with suppliers and associates. At Carlo's Bakery, employees use Salesforce to take orders on iPads or over the phone and instantly share dates and flavor requests with bakers, decorators, and the Cake Boss himself.

400,000 Years of Service
By Jonathan Pearson on Thursday, October 14th, 2010
The University of Michigan Symposium panelists who spoke on the impact of international service agreed on two key points.
First, when it comes to winning continued support from Congress and others for Peace Corps funding (and advancing the goals of the Service World initiative), volunteer programs need to be able to point to impacts and demonstrate that the investment is worth funding.
But they also agreed that measuring that impact can be very challenging.
Peace Corps Deputy Director and Samoa RPCV Carrie Hessler-Radelet pointed to one raw figure that is known and is impressive: Taken together, Peace Corps volunteers have contributed nearly 400,000 years of service to advancing global development and a more peaceful world. But there is more to be done. Recent research of those being served in 13 Peace Corps countries points to the fact that "frequent contact led to greater knowledge and understanding of Americans, led to more open-mindedness and improved opinions of the U.S."
Beyond Peace Corps, the Center for Social Development at Washington University has been leading the way in efforts to measure the impacts of overseas volunteer service. Research Director Amanda McBride says studies to date confirm results that one might anticipate: the longer one serves, placement in communities requesting services and higher levels of language proficiency are all key indicators of positive relationships between volunteers and the people who they serve.
McBride says the relationships formed by global volunteers transcend the term of service, and longer-term research is underway to better assess the longevity of those relationships. Hessler-Radelet concurred, adding that Peace Corps is beginning to turn more research attention to measuring the returned volunteer community and the impacts that bringing the world home has on RPCVs and the communities – both here at home and overseas – they continue to serve.
The panelists also agreed that while facts and figures are necessary to demonstrate success, many of the harder to measure individual anecdotes are also vital in making the case for continued support. "When we think of measuring impact, so much of it starts from what the individual volunteers experience in the field," says Roopal Shah, Executive Director and Co-founder of Indicorps.
For the Peace Corps community, anecdotes provide an every day reminder of individual impacts. Hessler-Radelet spoke of her recent trip to Liberia, where she met with the country's current vice president who spoke of "my Peace Corps volunteer", the one who tutored him late at night, helped him pass exams many years ago, and helped him achieve his current position of leadership. She also noted the recent success of Peace Corps volunteers in one state in Senegal, who helped mobilize an effort that resulted in every household in the state being provided with bednets to prevent malaria.
Hessler-Radelet says "people aren't always swayed by numbers. What really grabs them is the stories. We always have to raise the stories because that's what creates the passion."

Williamsburg, Va. — Due to the rainy weather, House Republicans aren't having a grand time at their retreat this week, which is being held at the sprawling Kingsmill Resort. Few members have played golf, or ventured to nearby Colonial Williamsburg. But inside the hotel, which is surrounded by armed guards, Republicans are quietly planning their debt-limit strategy and talking politics in a ballroom overlooking the James River.
So far, prominent pollsters and journalists, such as Charlie Cook and William Kristol, have hosted briefings. During meals, several motivational speakers, including a blind mountain climber, have attempted to inspire the casually dressed lawmakers. There has also been much discussion about marketing. Patrick Doyle, chief executive of Domino's Pizza, gave a well-received talk about selling a damaged brand to a modern audience.
Here are ten takeaways.
A short-term debt-limit extension is possible. Republicans are mulling the "possible virtue" of a short-term extension of the debt limit, according to Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. Ryan and other House leaders see such a move as the best way to engage President Barack Obama on spending cuts in the coming months. They believe that once the immediate threat of default is off the table, Republicans will be in a better bargaining position; the less drama, the better. "The last thing we should be debating is whether we're going to put the nation's full faith and credit at risk," Representative Greg Walden of Oregon said at a press conference.
Conservatives are divided on the debt limit. Many members are open to the idea of extending the debt limit into the spring, but it's by no means a done deal. There is already a divide over strategy, and whether the debt limit should be used as leverage. Some members want to tie spending cuts to the debt ceiling, while others see the upcoming defense sequester and continuing resolution to fund the government as safer battlefields. To GOP leaders, the political and economic consequences of the sequester, or of a government shutdown due to a failure to extend the government's funding, look far more manageable than default. Meanwhile, a growing group of conservative members is pushing for a balanced-budget amendment to be attached to a short-term extension, so nothing is settled.
Paul Ryan is a behind-the-scenes leader. Ryan, who has been relatively quiet since the presidential election, has stepped back into the spotlight. On Thursday, the Budget Committee chairman surprised reporters by holding an impromptu press conference, and he drew notice from his colleagues for his extemporaneous remarks, in which he backed the idea of a short-term debt-limit extension and boosted Boehner. As the embattled speaker looked on, Ryan assured backbenchers that Boehner is listening to him and other conservative members.

This is the second tablet from Micromax, the first being the 7-inch Funbook. The Funbook Pro has screen resolution of 1024x600 pixels which supports 1080 video playback with HDMI-Out, along with a 0.3 mp VGA front facing camera for video chats. It is coupled with 1GB RAM, with 8GB of internal storage. The storage capacity of the tablet can be increased up to 32GB via micro SD card.
Snapdeal is offering the Micromax Funbook Pro in Slate Grey color and is offering Tata Docomo+ data card for free.
The Funbook Pro has better specification like a 10.1 inch capacitive multi-touch screen. Since it is a 10 inch tablet, it looks huge but thanks to the rectangular shape, it is much easier to hold. It has also been built in such a way that you would comfortably hold it in your hand. Its back panel is dented on its four sides that give it further grip while the matte finish ensures a firm grip. It has a scratch resistant layer that runs edge to edge giving the tablet a flush and neat finish. 1024x600 pixel resolution of the display is available to provide clear screen viewing.
Multi-Touch allows the user to easily operate the tablet.
It comes up with 8 GB internal memory and further you can add a microSD card of upto 32 GB to store your files, movies, music, pictures etc. There is a mini HDMI out put as well which you can use to see your storedmovies and pictures on your TV with HDMI output. It Supports HD Video Playback.
The Funbook Pro is really eye catching when it comes to specification. It has a 1.2 GHz Cortex A8 processor, Dual Mail 400 GPU and the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system - a combination that itself speaks strongly for the tablet.
Not only apps but also playing game is quite easy on the tablet, even graphics heavy games do not show any lag enabling user to enjoy the games.

i got a funbook pro for my 8year old son as it was having two great things a good resolution 10 inch display and ics with a good processor and 1gb ram.
kidding about buying for son, it actually caters for all some work, gaming , watching videos, surfing net with dongle or wifi, music (though not convenient) than use for maps for navigation, than again for study as it is preloaded with many classroom videos and also there are a lot of easy learing games on android market
now the point is the price for rs 10000+500 tata photon dongle its a great deal= video is nice, photo quality is nice, both works very well and its 10inch so looks nice =then gaming its even nicer with 3d games running some big games running well and so far no problem
battery is concern a bit but normaly lasts more than 3 hours with everything running and standby more than a day or so so its okay for me
only inconvenience is placements of buttons its bit tricy and you fumble to find the buttons but once u get used to its working well
second thing they should give a 3g simcard slot for net and calling then it would make best tab in india for this price coz with dongle its bid odd to move and surf
so far its been four weeks and tab is fine everything seems nice.
so if you need value for money and also great indian product with support
then micromax funbook pro is the thing for u

good tablet after samsung galazy
I purchased micromax tablet 10 inch. But there is some irritable with the display. There are white blobs which are visible prominentln white background . I noticed this after sombre 15 days. And am thinking of reporting this. But I'm afraid that is it to late. O wish they would consider this for replacement
In the beginning the system was very slow and i was totally upset about this product.Then i went to a micromax service centre and the software was updated, after that this funbook pro is working very nicely.Thanks to snapdeal.
Micromax Funbook pro & Snapdeal is always nice. It's worthable for my money.
Thank you Snapdeal. I Recommanded my friends to buy Micromax Funbook Pro on Snapdeal.
very good, considering the price tag. smallprob with the connector for the USB port becoming a bit loose. and i guess getting a good internet browser like Opera will make it better.
touch takes getting a bit used to; sometimes when i want to scroll, it becomes a selection and vice versa.
but overall, very satisfied
Its a good product considering the price. Thats why one cant complain about slow processor, poor display, bad sound etc.
cons- should have bluetooth!
- when used in portrait mode cant prop it up on table etc as the charger plug and the Tata photon dongle are all plugged into the bottom edge of the device.
- Device gets very hot while using/ charging. I am afraid that it may get damaged!
Bying this macromax fun book pro is value for money for every buyer.
I would like to suggest people that you must bye this product, it is a good product.
As the feature is concern. It require back camra, bluetooth. I have seen one problem in this product that is battery gets very hot that's why back panel get very warm. Suggestion to the company; this is good product but it require attention in the OS segment because there is no upgrade is available for the product. That's why I am ranking it 4. Other wise definetly it will get 5 points,
Thank you
And keep manufactiring excelent products
