WASHINGTON - The attacks that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya became a flashpoint in the American presidential race Wednesday, as Republicans and Democrats criticized Mitt Romney for chastising President Barack Obama and his administration on their response to the violence.
The Republican presidential nominee told reporters at a Jacksonville, Fla., news conference that Obama's administration set a "terrible course" when the U.S. embassy in Cairo issued a statement the Republican nominee called "akin to apology" to Egyptian protesters before the death of U.S. envoy to Libya J. Christopher Stevens.
Those comments came just hours after Romney said in a statement issued late Tuesday night that the Obama administration's "first response" had been to "sympathize with those who waged the attacks," calling it "disgraceful."
Romney's reaction, which referred to a statement issued by the U.S. embassy in Cairo intended to ease tensions over an anti-Muslim film, was released hours before attacks broke out there and in Libya. The Republican's response sparked rebukes from Democrats and critical comments from members of his own party.
Romney "will find out that first reports from the battlefield are always incorrect," said Richard Armitage, the former deputy Secretary of State under Republican President George W. Bush. "This should be his mantra, so he can speak in a deliberate manner, and not have to repent at his leisure later."
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, called Romney's statements "about as inappropriate as anything I have ever seen at this kind of moment." The comments show "an insensitivity and lack of judgment about what is happening," he told reporters.
The embassy statement in question said: "Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy." It also condemned "the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions."
Commentator Peggy Noonan, a former Republican official, told Fox News that Romney wasn't "doing himself any favors" with a response bound to be seen as politically craven.
"When you step forward in the midst of a political environment and start giving statements on something dramatic and violent that has happened, you're always leaving yourself open to accusations that you are trying to exploit things politically," she said on Fox News.
Romney's campaign sought to contain the damage from a fast- developing story that appeared to catch the candidate a former governor of Massachusetts and governor of Massachusetts who has no national security experience, flat-footed and that shifted attention away from his signature issue of jobs and the economy.
"It's a terrible course for America to stand in apology for our values," Romney told reporters at a press conference held inside his Jacksonville, campaign headquarters where supporters who'd gathered for a separate event looked on through windows. "Instead, when our grounds are being attacked and being breached, the first response of the Unites States must be outrage at the breach of the sovereignty of our nation."
Romney's second round of remarks followed the confirmation that Stevens and three others were killed in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi amid protests in the north African country and neighboring Egypt over a film about the Prophet Muhammad viewed as blasphemous by Muslims.
Romney, who said he mourned the loss of American life and was praying for the victims' families, said the embassy's statement had been distributed "after their grounds had been breached." A review of the statement's release shows it was posted hours before the embassy walls were compromised.
"The embassy is the administration," Romney said. "The statement that came from the administration was a statement that was akin to apology."
In talking points his campaign distributed this morning to Republican surrogates, Romney's campaign instructed allies to dismiss the question, "Did Governor Romney 'jump the gun' last night in releasing his statement?"
"No," the talking points said, offering a line similar to one Romney used at his news conference. "It is never too soon to stand up for American values and interests."
The consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi came under rocket attack, Libya's deputy interior minister, Wanis El- Sharif, said by telephone Wednesday.
In Cairo, Egypt's capital, Islamist demonstrators scaled the walls of the U.S. embassy, ripped down a U.S. flag and chanted: "Obama, we are here to sacrifice for Osama."
Ben LaBolt , a spokesman for Obama's re-election campaign, criticized Romney's statement from Tuesday night.
"We are shocked that, at a time when the United States of America is confronting the tragic death of one of our diplomatic officers in Libya, Governor Romney would choose to launch a political attack." LaBolt said early Wednesday in an emailed statement.
Obama Wednesday condemned "in the strongest terms" the attack in Libya and ordered tighter security at U.S. diplomatic post across the world.
The president said the U.S. rejects "all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification for this type of senseless violence. None."
He vowed the U.S. will work with the Libyan government to track down those responsible for the attack. "Justice will be done," he said in the White House Rose Garden with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at his side.

Well, Beyonce needs to make up her mind: stripper or singer. I'm certain she could be a decent stripper – she got the moves. I'm afraid she might need to move about 10 pounds from her back to her tits though.
Update: Solange Knowles has a cameltoe of her own, not to be upstaged by her big sista.
Hillary Duff pubes
Hillary Duff pubes are a bit hard to judge from this photo. I think she definitely went for a close shave for this concert.
Bonus: Hillary Duff wet bikini photos.
Lindsay Lohan pubes
Lindsay Lohan pubes make a startling appearance… Lindsay Lohan's pussy seems to be shaven clean. I guess she was teased for much too long about her Firecrotch.
Denise Richards pubic hair
Judging from the angle this photo was taken, the paparazzi was probably in the water… And believe me, he needed the additional cooling!
Denise Richards upskirt closeup is amazing! She's not as fit as Jessica Biel but she's one good looking chick!
Check out Denise Richards in latex – smoking!
Update: some professional photography makes Denise Richards pubes look real good!

HUFFINGTONPOST.COM - Former Romney spokesman Richard Grenell left the campaign because he felt like his reputation was being destroyed by criticism and he was unable to defend himself, according to sources who have spoken with Grenell and understand his thinking.
But by the time Grenell gave notice last weekend of his intention to quit, the Romney campaign viewed any controversy about his hiring as having largely evaporated, and Romney aides were surprised when they learned of Grenell's wish to resign. click here to read more

Café Allegro
You can dispel a few urban myths in Café Allegro. It is this place, not Starbucks, that is the oldest functioning coffee bar in Seattle. Founded in 1975, it was a bona fide espresso bar when Starbucks was still just a store that sold coffee beans and machinery Stuffed into a back alley between NE 42nd and NE 43rd Sts, the cafe hasn't changed much since its pioneer days.

Fun With PC's
Would you like to record anything that you can hear on your computer? If you have a Mac I'm sure you just ask it nicely. Here's what you have to do for Windows:
Click "Start"> "Control Panel"> "Sounds and Audio Devices"> "Audio" tab > "Volume" button in "Sound Playback" (NOT "Sound Recording") > "Options" > "Properties" > "Adjust Volume for" check "Recording" check "Stereo Mix" and Click OK, Raise the Stereo Mix Volume slider to about 7. Close "Recording Control" & "Volume Control" windows & Click "OK" to close out the "Sound and Audio Devices Properties" window. Phew. To undo follow the same steps, but select "Microphone" instead of "Stereo Mix".
Now we need some free software. Click here to get Audacity. Download & install this program. Launch Audacity and select "stereo mix" from the dropdown menu. In edit > preferences > audio I/O tab choose stereo and pick your recording quality settings in the quality tab. Now play your favorite playlist or podcast and hit the record button. Adjust your levels with the microphone slider. The edit menu will help you clean up your finished track such as removing any gaps at the beginning or end.
If you want to save your recording as an mp3 go here to download Lame 3.97 (free mp3 converter). Unzip this file & remember where you saved it. When you first export a file to mp3, Audacity will prompt you to find Lame on your computer (one time only).
That should do it. Have fun.
The witching hour
Recently saw The Prestige, half magic, half occult, which we thought was very good. I never realised Bowie played Tesla until I posted this clip here, though. Most people's tracks this week are quite dark, mine are no exception..
General Science/Ish/Papa la bas, Conjure.
Science meets seance. Kip Hanrahan's latin jazz with a badly behaved ghost..perhaps more suitable for the magic theme, so I've warmed it up again.
The Witch, by 25 cents. Nice, thrashy lo-fi track by one of NZ label Flying Nun's first woman-only bands, very obscure but worth a listen.
Chilled out Nu Jazz for Saturday evening…

Haven't been able to look too closely at all the posts so hope I'll not have a spell put on me.

Fatboy Slims Latin Ska Acid Breakbeat version of Magic Carpet Ride joins the Baggies and My Computer on a 'You may have to have been there to enjoy them vibe…'

Time to listen to the new podcast me thinks…
Well, damnit, someone had to…
Ok. Right. Deep breath, aaaaaannnnnddddd throw it to the wolves……
Couldn't get my head round magic today, so opted to waste my time in a different way instead – namely by trying to rid myself of the albatross of temptation that's been on me since Blimpy's first podcast. So here, then, is my first effort. I really enjoyed making it, even though it terrified me, and I really hope you enjoy some or all of it.
And now the caveats. It is VERY creaky, as I repeatedly point out during the thing itself (I apologise too much, sorry). The sound levels are rotten, my mic is terrible, there are little plosive puffs of air all over the place, I 'um' and 'ah' like a good-un and I am well aware that three songs early on are almost inaudible. I don't know why that last one should be but if you turn them up REALLY LOUD then you can hear a bit and I didn't have the heart to re-record it all….
Still, in spite of all that, I invite your thoughts, your criticisms and your advice. Either way, I'm doing another one soon, with less mistakes, so you're stuck with me.
WARNING: This podcast contains some sweary talk which made me feel very big and clever. Sorry.
Albums that really change things
OK, I know that this is going to be massively contentious but there really are albums that are so earth shatteringly important that when you look back you can see how they changed music forever.
Most of them are hugely well known, and deservedly so in many cases, but others tend to be only appreciated in hindsight.
I am thinking here of albums that make other people listen and think "wow, I am going to have to start doing that sort of thing" or they change the way an artist in regarded by the business and the fans or they are albums that just do something so new that they start a movement or they encapsulate a moment so well that they almost become the moment, a shorthand for what was going on at the time.
My nominations here are pretty much all well known, but I think that they do fulfil at least one of my self imposed criteria in some way, and none are recent either. I am pretty much sticking to the rock world too, because if I was going to include everything then the list would be massive.
I reckon you could do a list for Jazz, Soul, Reggae, Hiphop etc separately.
So here goes;
Bob Dylan "Bringing it all back home"
Bruce Springsteen "Born to run"
Pink Floyd "Dark side of the moon"
Led Zeppelin "Four Symbols"
Jimi Hendrix "Are you experienced"
Fairport Convention "LIege and lief"
Nirvana "Nevermind"
Stone Roses "Stone Roses"
Joy Division "Unknown pleasures"
The Clash "London calling"
My reasons are varied. They are;
The Dylan one is where he first plugged it in and changed guitar pop forever
"Born to run" created Springsteen as the artist we have now
DSOTM brought Pink Floyd to world domination and opened the door to zillions of copyists and let prog hit the big time
Led Zep 4 created stadium rock
"Are you experienced" encapsulated the fusion of blues, psychedelia and rock in the 60s. Cream may have been there first but Jimi did it best
"Liege and lief" invented folk rock
"Nevermind" brought grunge to the world, OK not the first grunge album, or the grungiest but the one everyone knows – inadvertently giving us Nickelback, oh well no one's perfect!
The first Roses album is where Brit Pop began
"Unknown pleasures" gave us the right to be miserable and showed us one way how to get out of punk
"London calling" fused punk, reggae, rock 'n' roll and gave us the other way to get out of punk's impasse
A very subjective list, but I think my reasons are valid.
Now, over to the rest of you.
Magic Moments
Comedian Stephen Colbert has challenged the members of his nation to make John McCain more interesting, you can play too, if you have the technology. Here are some great entries:
Oh I can't be arsed to cook – cold chicken pesto salad
- Pieces of cold chicken cut off your leftover roast
- Carrots and green beans cooked so they're still crisp and crunchy
Put whole lot in a large tupperware.
Mix up some olive oil with some pesto and pour over.
Chop up some fresh basil and add this.
Slice up half a lemon and add.
Add a handful of pine kernals.
Shake up the whole lot and put the lid on. Leave in the fridge all day so that the pesto, lemon and basil can work its way though the whole lot.
Anyone else got any good mixed salad recipes? It's just too hot to eat anything else at the mo!
4 Little Birds
This was my birthday present from Malcolm–it's a picture of 4 little birds, a sequel to the Bob Marley song.
For all of us getting on in scores of years, here are Satchel Paige's Rules for Staying Young…
1. "Avoid fried meats which angry up the blood."
2. "If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts."
3. "Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move."
4. "Go very light on the vices, such as carrying on in society — the social ramble ain't restful."
5. "Avoid running at all times."
6. "And don't look back — something might be gaining on you."
He forgot 7. "drink loads of red wine."

Your life is over. Your life is over.
So, after a long trek to Dublin and back this weekend ('cos Ireland can't seem to have more than one of ANYTHING, and that one almost always has to be six hours drive away in the capital) I rather missed out on all the lovely kissing action. Which is a shame, as it looked like a good stint, so good work.
I just wanted to share a song with you (consider it my gift to Mr McFlah) by a band I've been listening to increasingly much this last week or two. Now, if you can get past the fact that the singer has BLATANTLY nicked Conor Bright Eyes' schtick, I reckon there's a lot going on here. Bit of Arcade Fire. Bit of 60s R&B. Bit of ramped up gypsy punk. And, to top it all, they're named after one of Shakespeare's very best plays – Titus Andronicus (seriously, I never know why Titus gets hated on so much. Sure, its unpolished, but its a big budget horror flick. Gore! Rape! Dismemberment! Scheming! Children baked in a pie! What's not to love?). OK, so it may sound like it was recorded in a bin, but when the handclaps kick in and the whole band chant 'your life is over' I think it is ridiculously fun.
So here, then, is 'Titus Andronicus' by Titus Andronicus. You can purchase their rather fine album, 'The Airing of Grievances', here too. Enjoy.

Keswick, Cumberland, 15 Oct 1871;
d London, 19 Feb 1926.
English sculptor. He first trained at the Kunstgewerbeschule, Karlsruhe,
under Heinrich Weltring (b 1846) and Hermann Götz (1848–1901). Returning
to England in 1887, he worked as a modeller in Shropshire, first for the
pottery firm Maw & Co., and then for the ironfounders Coalbrookdale Iron
Co. In 1889 Wood studied sculpture under Edouard Lantéri at the National
Art Training Schools in South Kensington (later Royal College of Art);
he then became assistant (1890–92) to Alphonse Legros at the Slade School
of Art. In 1894–5 he studied at the Royal Academy Schools, while working
as Thomas Brock's assistant, and in the following year he first exhibited
at the Royal Academy. In 1896 he visited Paris and exhibited at the Salon
of 1897. He was Drawing Master at the Glasgow School of Art from 1897
to 1901, when he returned to London. He was elected ARA in 1910 and full
Academician in 1920. Wood produced a large number of portrait busts, such
as that of Henry James (1913), and sculptures of mythological subjects,
such as Psyche (c. 1908–19; both London, Tate). During World War I he
was in charge of making masks for plastic surgery at Wandsworth Hospital;
in 1916–17 he was runner-up to Alfred Drury in the competition to design
a statue of Joshua Reynolds for the Royal Academy (bronze competition
models, London, Tate). After the war Wood succeeded Lantéri as Professor
of Sculpture at the Royal College of Art (1918–23) and was commissioned
to design various public monuments, including war memorials, such as the
Machine Gun Corps memorial at Hyde Park Corner (1925; in situ).

As Twitters go, it's a pretty decent one - few spelling mistakes, clearly done by Fitz himself, and extremely Fitz-like. It's filled with all-caps, and most of all, exclamation points.
In his last 20 posts, the man has 24 exclamation points. (!) That's 1.2 per post. Although it drops off a bit as the posts get older - he only has 91 in his last 100 posts, then again, maybe that's because most of his recent posts are about his induction to the hall of fame, which would get me pretty hyped and exclamation point-y - he's still a freakin' prolific exclaimer.
Considering one of the main reasons Fitz is an NU folk hero is his preposterous intensity quotient, it's good to see his online persona punctuates things exactly the way I picture him talking.

Cell phone crimes on the metro are up fifty percent over the past few months. Police say thieves are targeting smart phones, because of their re-sale value and the personal information they contain. A bill proposed before congress would require smart phones to include a kill switch so users could remotely wipe their personal data if the phone gets stolen.
"Metro Transit Police would welcome and support technology solutions that can reduce snatch theft of electronic devices. We believe such advancements have the ability to make a dent in this growing problem," said Metro Transit Police Chief Ron Pavlik.
Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski is co-sponsoring the bill. Reports show more than two thirds of cell phone theft victims are women. Police recommend that people hide their phones when they are out in public and not flash them where they could easily be snatched.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Pleasure Ridge Park High School's varsity softball program continuously ranks among the top teams in the state.
But after last season, two girls wanted out.
In a lawsuit filed last week in Jefferson Circuit Court, Doug and Roseann Mercer claim their daughters were bullied, manipulated and abused, not just by other players, but by coaches and even head coach Megan Miller.
In one incident, the case alleges a coach cursed at and grabbed one of the girls.
The Mercer's attorney, Mary Rives said, "This lawsuit is not an attack on PRP not seeking retribution for what went on there. All the Mercers are hoping to do is get their girls on the softball field where they belong."
In August the Mercer parents transferred their now sophomore and junior girls to Ballard High School but the girls wouldn't be allowed to take the field because state rules say if you compete in any sport at the varsity level in one school then if you transfer you must sit out for a full year.
The parents struck out with the Kentucky High School Athletic Association which upheld its transfer rule on appeal finding the girls ineligible to participate.
JCPS spokesperson Ben Jackey said, "According to the PRP Principal allegations of physical or verbal abuse have not been brought to administrators at the school." Coach Miller and the staff in question remain JCPS employees.
The Mercers may have rallied late in the game.
Last week Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Mary Shaw granted a restraining order, which blocks the KHSAA ruling. Chad Collins, KHSAA attorney said, "We are disappointed that the court has sought or chosen to issue a temporary restraining order in the case and we'll seek to have our rules enforced fully and fairly for all the member schools."
The girls can legally participate at Ballard while the legal process plays out but they're yet to take the field. Rives said, "They're devastated. They certainly didn't intend to be involved in the court system and they didn't want these allegations public."
A new date has not been set for a future hearing on the restraining order. The softball season ends in June.

Why the screen resolution is 1366X768
Well we all know the tetina display propaganda has been disproven, and we all lived through the race for more megapixels on phones. But heres some more info on what makes a good screen and why the resolution on the surface isnt a big deal. This is microsofts reasoning behind a the 1366X768 screen res.
Hey this is Stevie. Screen resolution is one component of perceived detail. The true measure of resolvability of a screen called Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), not Pixels. MTF is a combination of both contrast and resolution. There are over a dozen subsystems that effect this MTF number..
Most folks just focus on one number out of dozens that effect perceived detail. Without good contrast resolution decreases. Check out contrast sensitivity of the human eye graph (http://www.telescope-optics.net/images/eye_contrast.PNG) and if you want more see the links below.
Basically, as resolution/DPI increases the eye has becomes less sensitive. So as a result, the amount of light in a room and the reflections off the screen have a huge effect on the contrast of the display. In fact, a small amount of reflection can greatly reduce contrast and thus the perceived resolution of the display. With the ClearType Display technology we took a 3 pronged approach to maximize that perceived resolution and optimize for battery life, weight, and thickness.
First prong, Microsoft has the best pixel rendering technology in the industry (cleartype 1.0 and 2.0) .. these are exclusive and unique to Windows, it smooths text regardless of pixel count.
Second, we designed a custom 10.6" high-contrast wide-angle screen LCD screen.
Lastly we optically bonded the screen with the thinnest optical stack anywhere on the market.. something which is more commonly done on phones we are doing on Surface. While this is not official, our current Cleartype measurements on the amount of light reflected off the screen is around 5.5%-6.2%, the new IPad has a measurement of 9.9% mirror reflections (see the displaymate link: http://www.displaymate.com/iPad_ShootOut_1.htm). Doing a side by side with the new iPad in a consistently lit room, we have had many people see more detail on Surface RT than on the Ipad with more resolution.
Some more links to share if you want to know more… (http://www.normankoren.com/Tutorials/MTF.html)... Also This is a great book to read if you really want to get into it: http://www.amazon.com/Contrast-Sensitivity-Effects-Quality-Monograph/dp/0819434965 or more here http://alexandria.tue.nl/extra2/9901043.pdf
No matter what apple fanboys tell you the surface rts screen isnt as bad as they say it is. It could possibly be better. And theyll always point to the number of pixels their ipad has but thats not the whole story. Also ask them how much battery life they get with such a high resolution.

With school budgets tight these days and new sports facilities out of the question, thousands of high school runners have discovered a place to train where there is the good book as well as the record book.
On a Saturday in September, dozens of Georgia high schools competed in a cross country meet. It was the debut of a new course on the grounds of Heritage Christian Church in Fayette County.
Parents of runners approached the church several years ago about building the 2,000 meter course on the church's 77 acres of land with it's rolling hills, lush woodlands and 16-acre lake. The church said yes. It helped that the senior pastor is former college cross country runner himself.Parent volunteers went to work clearing land and building an impressive wooden bridge across one end of the lake. The new field is on church property and present are the very important symbols of their faith. Parents say the schools that train here focus on athleticism and not evangelism.More than seven races are scheduled at the church that will bring more than 9,000 athletes and spectators to Peachtree City. That includes regional championship meets. They expect even more events next year.

This single mother of seven was the envy of her colleagues at a Baltimore County McDonald's, who sued Wilson claiming that her ticket had been part of a pool.
Wilson was famous even though she refused to show her winning ticket.
Unfortunately, it turns out she was lying.
Three other people came forward today to claim the $105 million prize, which they bought together. Although the winners remained anonymous, it was announced that they were two public school teachers and a school administrator, according to WBAL.

(VOVworld) – Con Dao archipelago in Ba Ria Vung Tau province consists of 16 islets. It used to be known as a hell on earth where revolutionary Vietnamese soldiers were jailed during the wars against French colonialists and American forces. Recently, Con Dao has become a popular tourist site and was elected by leading American tourism magazine Travel and Leisure as one of the Best Secret Islands on Earth. Con Dao inspires tourists with its primitive nature and magnificent landscape.
Getting away from the scorching summer and noisy cities, tourists come to Con Dao to enjoy the pure air and relax in a paradise of the sound of wind and sea. On the drive over, the tour guide enthusiastically introduces the island: "Covering an area of 76km2, Con Dao is a collection of 16 islands. We are now on the largest island which is about 12 square km. When viewed from above, the island shaped like a bear. We are driving on the only main road in Con Dao".
The first leg of the tour leads visitors to the Con Dao prison complex, where revolutionary Vietnamese soldiers were jailed during the wars. Nguyen Thi Tam, a tour guide, says: "The French built the prison with strong walls with simple barbed wires. When entering the prison, we first see two warehouses, a kitchen, and a clinic. Behind them are 384 cells divided into 4 sections, each section has 48 cells, where prisoners were brutally tortured"
The structure of defunct Con Dao prison relic has remained intact. Visitors still have a chance to visit the island warden's house, the pier, the system of jails built by the French and Americans, the isolated tiger and cow cages. Not far away from the prison is the 19 ha Hang Duong cemetery. Nguyen Binh, the cemetery caretaker says visitors come to pay their respect to the memory of heroes and martyrs who sacrificed their lives for national liberation. Binh says: "Most Tourists visit the cemetery on Friday and Saturday. They burn incense and votive papers until 4am. We work here to pray for the health and prosperity for our family".
The Con Dao National Park is a must-see for any visitors to Con Dao. The 20,000 ha park is home to both forest and sea ecological systems. The protected environment of 7,000 ha forest and 14,000 ha sea resources in the park remain almost untouched. According to Le Hong Doan, a ranger of Con Dao National Park, there are also endemic species in the park: "This park has two species of rare pigeons, one of which is endemic- the Scopoli that only lives in Con Dao, Vietnam. The other is the Nicobar pigeon. It gets its name because it lives mainly in the Nicobar Islands, an archipelago in the eastern Indian Ocean. "
Con Dao is surrounded by dozens of beautiful and wild beaches, namely An Hai, Dam Trau, Lo Voi, Suoi Ot, and Hon Ba. The waters is so clear that you can see corals. The island is an ideal tourist site that brings tourists fresh exotic feelings.

text: Ok I admit our offense has not looked very impressive. But it is obvious that they are being very conservative in the play calling. We have a dangerous weapon named Trey Burton#13 who is 6ft 2in and 230 lbs and very mobile. We have to use him in the redzone, and in short yardage situations. That is a similar role that a guy named Tim Tebow played in his freshman year on the squad, and we all know how that worked out. Another thing that I have noticed is that Brantley has yet to keep the ball on any of the designed option plays ran so far. The play can not be run to perfection unless the QB is a threat to keep the ball. As of now Brantley has yet to make himself that threat. Brantley has to keep the ball a few times and draw in the defenders. That will take the pressure off the backs I would love to see the offense open up these plays against Tenn. this weekend. I believe that it would add a whole new dimension to our as of now lack luster offense.

The necklace is beautiful and hangs very nicely. I have gotten tons of complements.
A pretty and simple piece
This is a dainty branch in sterling silver. It doesn't lay flat which kind of bothers me, it has a bend in it and kind of points up. Other than that it's a pretty and simple piece that goes with everything.
This necklace is beautiful! I bought it as a bridesmaids gift & it's even prettier in person! I can't wait to give the necklaces to my friends!
Dainty but strong like a relationship should be....
Lightweight, unique and organic.
A lovely Gift
Actually prettier in person than the photos. Wonderful quality and the perfect size.
Beautiful Branch
Love this necklace it is a nice size, not too big and not too small. It was exactly what I expected it to be.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 13 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kristian1977 Villas at Westin Beaver Creek Awesome location in great area but be careful when going in off season because a lot is closed in Beaver Creek. Hotel/Villas are exactly what you can expect from The Westin and are always a pleasure to stay in. Cons: -No indoor pool. -Staff was not very responsive nor seemed that eager to help. when speaking to the manager he did not act any different. Had to wait for 30+ minutes for our keys and that was only after asking twice. -If you are a platinum level don't expect anything more when at a Villa stay then the first time Westin/SPG client. None of your standard amenities or services apply. The staff really has something to learn from other location when it comes to taking care of its guest, especially Platinum Guests. October 21, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by Plato mixed The villas occupy a truly beautiful setting, along the Eagle River facing Beaver Creek Mountain. The Hotel facilities are superior. The staff is ultimately hospitable. The units are comfortable, with reasonable size and furnishings, The decks have just adequate size and allow spacious views but the ambiance is ruined by loud, continuous motors (apparently generators or climate control systems) running 24 hours a day and directly adjacent to the villas. The noise is blocked and not audible at the Hotel or the courtyard but is in the villas facing the river. There is plenty of room for a water-wall or other baffle between the motors and the villas. I do hope this will be corrected because I would never return until it is. This is a splendid luxury resort spoiled by a dire fault. September 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Golf18 Great location adjacent to hotel, SPG elites beware My Wife and I stay at this location at least once a year. The Villas share amenities with the adjacent Westin hotel which has a fantastic restaurant and fun infinity Jacuzzis that look up the valley. SPG elite members should be aware they are inflexible on upgrades (which they make clear on their website), but also inflexible on simply changing rooms (ADA room which I don't care for and they would not accommodate a change, not an upgrade, a change... causing an early check-out). November 5, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Warren73 The hotel is lovely The facilities are very nice and convenient to other areas and attractions. July 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jinny1 Beds What's is with the queen "heavenly bed"? Did not realize Studio PREMIUM Villa rooms do not have king beds. All SPG resorts which we have stayed have either king beds or two queen. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ScottyM fantastic hotel and villas We have stayed at the villas multiple times and after reading the comments from other guests i have to reply. The villas rooms are all quite large and very well appointed. Any room we have stayed in was always perfectly clean and kept up to date. As to SPG status, it states when the Villas are booked that certain benefits don't apply. If that is what you are after, stay in the hotel! Yes, you have to walk from one building to the next for the pool, gym and bar. So! This is also clearly pointed out before you book! The garage has a key system because it is at the base of a ski resort - not to hard to comprehend why! Finally, if you live in Denver you should realize October is a VERY slow season in the mountains. IF YOU WANT EVERYTHING OPEN, go in January or go to Disney! February 25, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sarasota69 NO SPG RECOGNITION and MANY ISSUES! Having read the reviews, I didn't necessarily expect to receive any recognition as a Platinum Member of Starwood, but other similar hotels (resorts) did their part to accommodate us during our vacation throughout Colorado, so I had expected a little something ... at best, an upgrade; at least, kindness and recognition. The front desk couldn't have cared less at this facility! ... Although the room we received was nice (not a suite or upgrade, but nice) it was disappointing in many ways. To be brief ... let me just say that all the amenities are in the building NEXT DOOR and one must walk OUTSIDE (in the rain or snow) to access that building! There is an underground parking garage for guests of this facility but it was a NIGHTMARE for us and all the guests we encountered!! There are two separate gates in the garage to go through, requiring (apparently) separate keys, then a key is needed to get into the building from the parking garage! They issue multiple keys and apparently none work consistently. We had to call the front desk at some point every time we came or went. And, we weren't the only ones with issues. EVERY single time we arrived at the building entrance, there were guests waiting who couldn't get into the building! (No phone was located there.) We got in the habit of waiting, as a group, until someone with a "magic key" appeared. It was totally ridiculous. .... And, just a warning: that multi-floor parking garage is the tightest, most convoluted layout you have ever seen! Better to VALET park NEXT DOOR (and walk in the rain or snow) than to put up with this! ... Better yet: STAY in the facility next door!! August 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Patski Outatanding amenities The Westin staff were very accommodating. The amenities were outstanding, including the outdoor hot tubs, the 4 pm cookies, music in the lobby, ski valet service and having the gondola right outside the door. I had a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation. March 15, 2014

It should not come as a surprise that we get inundated with filmmaker requests to post fundraising campaigns for film projects they're developing.
After a while they all seem to start to look and sound alike, unless there's a name attached to it that gets our attention, like Spike Lee (and let's face it, it was because of his fame that his recent Kickstarter campaign was so successful), or, what's even better, if the project itself is an interesting and intriguing one.
And fortunately, that's very much the case here, with the feature film The Repass, by writer, producer and director Rae Shaw, starring Marie-Françoise Theodore and Donzaleigh Abernathy.
A former student at the University of Chicago, who did her graduate work at U Miami, Ms. Shaw worked in the film industry as an assistant on the executive side, before moving to strike out on her own, forming a production company called Wicked Lovely Films in 2008, and made her first short film Soap and Roses.
She describes Repass as "a surreal fairy tale of a young Creole girl who loses her brother in Hurricane Katrina, and she uses Haitian spirits & dance to find him."
But she says by using the term "fairy tale" it doesn't mean some simplistic fantasy aimed at children.
As she says: "Fairy tales don't all have happy endings, despite the stories Disney tells us; they have complicated endings that teach us something real about living. What I love about the Grimm tales is that they drive home with frightening urgency the importance of living a true and good life. As a child who has lived through her own dark fairy tale, I wrote Repass to tell a story of hope and healing for the international community."
As for Ms. Theodore, who is of Haitian descent, Repass is more personal. As she notes: "As an actress my goal as well as fellow African American woman filmmakers, is to tell stories from a perspective that Is not normally seen in our industry. When Rae gave me the script of The Repass to read initially I was skeptical. I have seen one too many movies that explored Haitian culture in general, and the Voodoo religion in particular, in a less than favorable (or downright despicable) light."
However she changed her mind once she read the script, adding: "I was more than pleasantly surprised and delighted to find nuanced and complex characters in a haunting story that defies traditional approaches to movies about modern day Haiti and Haitians…That resonates with me as personally. I Had to hide Haitian while I was growing up in Chicago in order to survive and did not fully come to terms with my identity until I was up to an adult. In fact, my 'identity' is still a work in progress! Being a dancer as well as actor, my path has-been to explore and train in Haitian ritual dance all which is a big portion of the film. Now when someone Asks me "What are you?" (which happens all the time), instead of being offended or fearful of attack, I answer: "I'm Haitian, African American raised". It's always exciting for an actor to get to play someone who is raw, vulnerable and emotionally naked. For me, it's a sacred act of serving in the community. As a Haitian African American actor roles that fit the bill can be few and far between."
Sounds like a worthwhile film doesn't it?
A fundraising campaign to raise $10,000 to help bring Repass to life has been launched through crowdfunding site Razoo (which is new to me, I admit). With 6 days left in the campaign, and just over $2100 raised, your contributions have obviously become even more crucial. So to contribute, go HERE.
And for the The Repass website, where you can learn more about the project, go HERE.
Below is a short video with Ms. Theodore talking more about the project and herself:

This work is pretty eye-catching! It arouse a special passion in my heart. Her healing voice made me think art can break the blockage in different cultures and races. I think choose such actress to play Marian is totally reasonable. Speaking of connect her identity through art, I was truly feel I should watch this!! Can't wait to see.
Carolyn Belton | September 10, 2013 6:27 PM
Life is an interesting thing. I have been on yet another quest to discover my "spiritual self", and I meet Rae and meet The Repass. I am of Haitian ancestry and have been told by various spiritualists that my ancestors are watching and waiting to pass me the "asson" and that my true spiritual power lies in the medicine and mysteries of that land. I cannot help but believe that meeting Rae is no coincidence. I find the story intriguing, fanciful, insightful and totally deserving of time and attention. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS MOVIE!!!
John Waters | September 6, 2013 1:37 PM
This seems like a valiant effort but as a native of New Orleans, I question why again and again the overall image of the city is always viewed from the "Katrina" lens? Neither the director or actor are not from Louisiana. Although, that should not mean that they can not use Louisiana, New Orleans, Creole culture, the conversation they present sound tenuously linked are full of the same vague navel gazing of people who aren't really making strong deeper connections between Haitian culture and New Orleans.

'Pull Back,' My RED SCARLET Test Short
I mentioned previously that I'd shot a micro-short to test out the RED SCARLET, and here it is. To put the camera through its paces, we wanted to use it in a real-world setting instead of shooting charts in a studio — but we also didn't have the time or budget to put together a "real" short. What we set out to make (and what we ended up with) is something more than a series of test shots, and something less than a proper short. This was a no-budget, quick production on which everyone donated their time. Let me know what you think! More »
Ryan Koo is now Koo
UPDATE: I've ended the one name experiment and gone back to using, as far as credits go, both first and last name (Ryan Koo) like the rest of humanity. I wasn't 100% comfortable with the one-name thing, though plenty of people still call me "Koo" and always will. The post below is my original experiment with self-branding. More »

Business Predators, Producers and Prattlers
It is the end of the month and the end of a quarter. Britain's over-taxed small business owners will be worrying about cash-flow. Is there enough cash to make payroll at the end of the month? Will the bank extend the overdraft? Can they find the money for the quarterly VAT bill? Small businesses are the canaries of the economy, the job creators, fast to grow, fast to shrink.
Ed Miliband knows nothing about this, he has never had those worries, profiteering is not a good word for him, it is bad, despite profits bringing jobs and profits paying taxes to support the unproductive. He sits at the top of the table in a shadow cabinet that has not one member who has started or owned a for-profit business. That inexperience is why he prattles on incoherently about business predators.
UPDATE: Exception that proves the rule and it was a government supplier:

You don't pay for tutoring
unless you find a good fit!
Radha V. has not yet had a background check. After sending a message to Radha, you will be able to order a background check for $7.99. The check will be processed by First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
I am a recent graduate of the University of the Arts, with a BFA in Theater Arts focusing in set design and scenic painting. I also tutored through the university during the school year for the scene and lighting technology class. For that class I taught students vocabulary, knot tying, exam preparation methods, and certain equations having to do with carpentry and electricity. Although I went to school for art, I also work very well with children. I grew up in a big family full of children, and even taught my niece how to multiply.
For elementary school students, I recognize that each student has a different way of learning. Once I see the way a student understands things, I gear my tutoring sessions towards explaining the material in a way they can best understand it. For example, some students absorb material better when they visualize what they are learning, so I draw little doodles to help explain the idea. I also use a lot of mnemonic devices to help students remember vocabulary that they may be having trouble with. I always make sure that each student leaves the session with a sense of accomplishment and a better understanding of the material that we covered.
For art students, I teach by showing examples, and then having the student work on their own. Many aspects of art require practice, but the student needs to be shown the methods before they can practice, so they know what to do. I also let the student explore on their own because there are usually very many ways of doing something to get the same results. By exploring, the student can find the methods they are most comfortable with, to generate the best outcome.
I have taken 2 years of art history class (once in high school and once in college) and have also taken an intensive history of costume and decor class, which focused on architecture and clothing of each era.
I have taken several drawing classes as an art student, including: Drawing and Rendering, Sketching and Drawing for Scenery and Costume, and Figure Drawing. Depending on what the student needs to draw, I will teach them by showing them how to break down objects into smaller shapes, and give them exercises in perspective and shading.
I have owned a Macbook pro for over four years, and am familiar with all the software that comes with them like Safari, Preview, iPhoto, iMovie, pages and more. I am also great at troubleshooting with things that go wrong with macs, because I have had mine for so long and have had several issues that I learned how to fix myself. I can also teach how to type fast using the asdf jkl; method.
I have experience with oils, acrylics, watercolor, and scenic painting including color mixing with latex paint, off Broadway paint, tints and dyes and trompe l'oeil, and have taken several classes for each of these mediums. There is a different method to painting with each medium, and depending on the student's skill level, we can start with the basics, or work on more advanced projects.
I have been sewing by hand since I was a little girl. I have been sewing by machine since high school. I am familiar with using a serger and pattern making as well. I have also worked in a professional costume shop doing alterations.
As a Theatre Design and Technology major, my focus is not in acting, but in design and technical theatre. I have taken several classes in script analysis, theatre history, set design, costume design, drafting, model making, and technical direction. Depending on what the student wants to learn, I can focus on looking at a script from a conceptual point of view, or aspects of technical theatre like vocabulary one needs to know going into theatre, or designing and drawing for theatre.

Reflections: 31 Years After Sabra & Shatila, 20 Years of Oslo
This month marks the anniversary of two important events in the history of the Palestinian struggle for justice. It is the 31st anniversary of the massacres at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Beirut during which an estimated 3000 Palestinian refugees lost their lives. It is also the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Oslo Accords between the PLO and Israel.
One Land Many Voices co-hosts, Zaha Hassan and Ned Rosch, will look back on those two events not only to remember what they meant to Palestinians and the world at the time, but also to consider what they mean today in the search for justice and peace.
The first half of the hour, the co-hosts will talk with Nabil Mohamad, survivor of the massacre at Sabra and Shatila. Nabil is currently the Vice President of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and will be joining from Washington, D.C. (Nabil Mohamad is pictured above.)
In the second half of the hour, Dr. Mohammad Shtayyeh, senior negotiator for the Palestinians in the current US sponsored talks between the PLO and Israel, will be joining us from Ramallah to speak about Oslo and the prospects for a negotiated solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Hey let's take a look at that Charlie Weis offense...
1st and Goal at TEX 5 Team rush for no gain, fumbled, recovered by Kans Taylor Cox at the Texas 21.
2nd and Goal at TEX 21 Michael Cummings pass complete to James Sims for 2 yards to the Texas 19.
3rd and Goal at TEX 19 Michael Cummings sacked by Tevin Jackson for a loss of 10 yards to the Texas 29.
4th and Goal at TEX 29 Timeout KANSAS, clock 4:47.
4th and Goal at TEX 29 Michael Cummings pass incomplete to Andrew Turzilli.
1st and goal at the 5 becomes 4th and goal at the 29, and Kansas gets nothing out of it. Boy that Charlie Weis offense is something.

In some ways, it's a new twist on old-fashioned health care.
Dr. Sarah Davis is making a house call.
"For me, it has brought the love of medicine back. "
Frustrated with packed waiting rooms, mounting paperwork, and falling reimbursements, Dr. Davis is one of thousands of physicians abandoning traditional practices in favor of 'concierge' or private medicine. Her entire practice is now limited to roughly 100 patients-instead of rushing through sometimes 40 appointments in a single day.
"There are studies that say doctors interrupt patients, I think about, every 7 seconds… and I was becoming one of those doctors. They'd start to tell their stories, but, I didn't have time to hear the whole story. I'd just need to get the details, get a diagnosis, get them their prescription and move on to the next person."
Now, Davis' patients pay an annual fee for an extensive physical, lab work and unlimited office visits. "Now, I get to decide what's best for my patients, and if it takes two hours to talk to them that day, then that's how long it takes."
Fees for this personalized care can range from a few thousand dollars a year to as much as $50,000 in some parts of the country.
"I would pay three times what I pay for that level of service because it is a huge time saver."
Patient Gene Carter has been with her since the very beginning - and says what he's really paying for is. "Personal attention. Personal attention of a very qualified physician. I try not to abuse that with Dr. Davis. But, whenever I need to, if I have an especially busy day it's a great convenience to have her come to your office or come to your home."
And because she has fewer patients, Dr. Davis says she also has more time to just be a mom.

Is Online Advertising Better than Print Media
These days online advertising is all over the Internet. Reading and writing on and for the Internet is all the rage. Using electronics, such as computer laptops, cell phones, Kindle and iPad to gather information, connect with others using social media, and promote a business using websites and emails is normal behavior.
Still, print marketing has not lost its charm. This is because that some things in print advertising cannot be done over the internet. Such as, the touch and feel of postcards, flyers and catalogs. Touch, taste and smell cannot yet be created on the internet. Touching the screen or keypad isn't what I mean. I'm referring to touching the product like a bar of soap.
The Internet is a crowded marketplace. Online advertisements are often ignored. It gets difficult to stress key benefits on one small text ad or banner advertisement like you can when reading a full-page newspaper ad, or a flyer, even a postcard.
Marketers use many ways to communicate with the public. Advertising is the choice to promote a business, product or service.
Print media is perhaps the oldest form of advertising. It is still the most popular one. You can read a flyer that you find in your mailbox again and again. In comparison, what you read on the internet may be forgotten in an instant as you click from one site to another. Print media offers a variety of types. For example:
Brochures, Flyers, Posters, Post Cards
Newspapers and Newsletters
Magazines and Catalogs
People like to read printed material. It's comforting to hold something in your hand, stuff it in your pocket, take it with you, save it, pick it up, read it again. You can smell the ink. Sometimes, an advertiser embeds a scent for perfume or men's cologne.
Laptops and tablets can certainly display advertisements. But for most, it's just not the same, is it? Also, some people find it inconvenient to use electronics in certain places. Whereas printed material like newspapers, magazines and brochures are welcome nearly everywhere and more practical, too. With print media, especially newspapers, a marketer can reach many people in a targeted area much easier than with an online banner ad, for example.
Print Media and Online Media
There's no doubt that online media can generate profits and opportunities. Online advertising is a good choice, because a high percentage of people have access to the internet. A business that wants to promote its business on the internet can do so in any number of ways. The beauty of online advertising is that even if you do not get clicks, the visibility alone offers a level of web promotion. That's why online marketing is used by most major advertisers.
Print media is still the traditional workhorse for offline paid advertising. For those who like to wake up in the morning, sip coffee and read the morning news, printed newspapers fit the bill.
It's probably true that online coverage is massive compared to printed newspapers. It's a good reason that explains why you can now read most newspapers and magazines online. Many blogs now cover the news as well as offer a huge variety of information. But, not everyone wants to sit staring at a tiny computer screen on a cell phone, or hold a electronic tablet in their lap.
Without a printed newspaper in their hand, many feel something is missing when they sit down to enjoy their morning muffin. The world is changing. Who knows if this will hold true tomorrow.

The Genesee County Election Commission has approved recall petition language, giving organizers looking to oust republican State Representative Paul Scott, the green light to collect signatures.
Organizers must collect 9,604 signatures, according to Genesee County elections supervisor Doreen Fulcher.
That's 25-percent of the votes cast for Governor in the 2010 election.
Organizers would then have to file with the bureau of elections in Lansing.
They'd have to do that by August 5th to make it on the November ballot.
