Never Rest Again, a review of Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi
In Never Eat Alone, founder and CEO of Ferrazzi Greenlight Keith Ferrazzi contends that building relationships is the most effective way to build success. He draws from personal experience, his friends' stories, and the biographies of historical figures and celebrities to explain how to create a powerful and supportive network. His suggestions range from starting your own club to curating an electronic contact list.
The last time a book led me over and through so many emotional hills and valleys, I was reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows after waiting in a line several hours long for its midnight release. No beloved owls or house elves die in Never Eat Alone. No dark wizards commit atrocious acts. Instead, Keith Ferrazzi suggests that the way to cultivate a successful career and life is to form meaningful relationships with thousands of people.
At times, Ferrazzi pumped me up and called me to action. I couldn't wait to arrange meetings with the people I most admire or create my own projects at work. Every few pages I had to stop reading to jot down ideas.
At other times, I was so riled and frustrated by Ferrazzi's words that I had to put the book down and take a break. How exhausting would it be to maintain mutually satisfying relationships with thousands of people, wishing each and every one a timely happy birthday and playing professional matchmaker? As an introvert, I often find it difficult enough to maintain a couple dozen relationships at once.
By far the most irritating part of Never Eat Alone was the name dropping. Oh, the name dropping! I'm friends with this-or-that television personality, and I've made the career of such-and-such an impossibly rich CEO. Maybe the prospect of befriending Arianna Huffington or Martha Stewart motivates some people… Ferrazzi does try to establish that celebrities should be treated just like everyone else in your network, but he doesn't exactly follow that advice in his book.
However, Ferrazzi redeemed himself, in my mind, in the second to last chapter. On page 287 (of the hardcover version), he writes, "you don't have to do it my way." In this chapter, he fights against the popular idea of "balance," in which so much time is spent on work and so much time is spent on leisure. He writes that, for him, this kind of "balance" doesn't exist. Ferrazzi doesn't differentiate between professional and personal relationships. He mixes clients and family members, CEOs and college students at his dinner parties. He stresses that that is his recipe for a gratifying existence. The reader's might be different.
I agree that if you are pursuing a career you truly care about, which is something that I would like to do as soon as I can, work and life should and will blend seamlessly. That is something I desire more than anything else in the world. I love the idea of reaching out to and learning from people in the fields that I want to go into, as well as introducing people who can be mutually beneficial to each other. However, if I have to know thousands of people in high places to be successful and never eat a meal alone again, it just isn't going to happen.

4 Tips for Online Marketing Applicants | Adpearance
This article is useful for anyone looking for a job, not just marketing applicants:
Job Hunting 2.0
The third time that I knocked, someone finally answered the door. It was clear that he had just woken up. His lids drooped. Strands of long, black hair draped over his unshaven face.
"Hello?" he queried, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
"Hi!" I squeaked, turning chipper in the face of uncertainty. "I'm looking for Rick Gurney!"*
"Rick Gurney doesn't live here."
I glanced meaningfully at the small trashcan outside the door with a strip of masking tape labelled "Gurney" in black sharpie on its lid.
"He moved like three months ago," he explained, Can you leave now? I want to crawl back in bed, written all over his face.
"Do you have his phone number?" I persisted.
"I don't."
"Oh. Okay. I was supposed to meet him for an interview. I guess I'll find his phone number somewhere else. Bye!" A false smile nearly tore my face in two, at least until he disappeared back inside the house. "Shit," I muttered, descending the porch.
That was the beginning of my fifth interview of the week–an interview for a Photo-marketer/Admin position with a travel photographer based in Portland. I had found the job listing on Craig's List a couple of days before and sent the poster a resume.
I have applied for approximately forty jobs in the last month, which have been, for the most part, jobs that I am sincerely interested in. There are actually a lot of people out there hiring for the kind of work that I want to do. However, there are also even more people out there applying for those jobs. Out of those forty or so job applications, I have received exactly three invitations to interview.
Now you might be thinking, wait a second. Didn't she just say that she interviewed five times last week? Well, yeah. I had five interviews. But three of them were informational interviews.
What are informational interviews? Informational interviews are the best. They are so much more valuable than job interviews. Rather than answer questions about my strengths and weaknesses, and my qualifications and experiences, I got to listen to some talented and successful Lewis & Clark alumni tell me stories about their awesome career paths. I got recommendations for organizations to join and books to read, and tips on how to improve my resume and cover letters. I got told that networking is the best way to get a job. All of the women I spoke to had gotten the majority of their jobs by being generous and by receiving generosity from the people they made connections with. I came away from every one of these informational interviews glowing with excitement for my future career.
In contrast, I came away from every single job interview feeling nervy and uncomfortable and needing to go for a long run.
Thus, I have decided to change my strategy. I'm going to stop applying for jobs for a while. Instead, I am going to put my energy into strengthening my portfolio and meeting people. I am going to finish reading Never Eat Alone, then make a networking plan. I am going to listen to stories and learn new skills. I am going to make beautiful art and share it with people…
Being an adult is a lot more fun than I first thought.
P.S. If you want to talk about graphic design, or marketing, or writing, or blogging, or making art, or what have you, hit me up at firstname.lastname@example.com. Or, if you know someone else who would be interested in chatting, send them my way.

Daniel Clowes
Winner of the 2011 PEN Literary Prize for Graphic Literature
"[Clowes' comics have] the perfect interplay between his tightly controlled artwork, the empty rage... simmering just beneath it, and just below that, a strangely simple yearning for simple and solid things, like, say, love There's poetry in every panel." Dave Eggers, New York Times Book Review
"The great thing about Dan's work is that his pictures are brilliant, but if he wanted to become just a writer, he could do it." Michael Chabon, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
"It's not too much to say that Clowes' best work has the emotional resonance and mordant humor of literary satires such as Portnoy's Complaint and The Catcher in the Rye." Marc Weingarten, San Francisco Magazine
"Clowes has explored the tedium and mystery of contemporary American life with more wit and insight than most novelists or filmmakers." A.O. Scott, The New York Times
"Clowes is the countrys premier underground cartoonist." Newsweek

Now that Bethany is going to have a talk show do you think she'll be back with her reality show next season. I thought the ending kind of left us hanging.
Hi purrmom,
Maybe she'll be back on Bravo if her talk show does not get picked up for a new season?
"Help them and save them from their cfcp, twisted, bsc, diseased minds."
I think she's a big bore and no longer any fun. Quit watching ages ago.
I'm not much of a daytime TV viewer but I'd think she have a difficult time with so many shows out there. That would go for anyone.
She's a certainly hardworking woman.
"don't get so tolerant that you tolerate intolerance." bill maher
the shine has worn off for me, tired of her.
I thought she said she is done with her reality show. Of course, she could change her mind.
You can't buy love but you can adopt it. Adopt, don't shop.
Bethenny Frankel Hoppy? Her voice is grating, IMO. However, it appears that lots of people pay to hear her speak. So, she'll have an audience, but I won't be a member.
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.
Alexis de Tocqueville
I am over her as well. I think her talk show may be just more of the same. Talking way too fast with off colored language and jokes.
I wonder if now that Bethany has the talk show her ex assistant is regretting leaving her. If her talk show took off that would of opened up a lot of doors for her as well.
Sanctions against Israel while Iran gets a pass?
i probably wont be watching.....i am not even sure they are going to be showing it in our area.
"Mankind was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The deals of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!" -Charles Dickens
I saw this and thought the replies were apropo.
I kinda like her. She exposes everything - warts and all
15 year Breast Cancer Survivor
I am Woman Hear Me Roar!
I didn't know about the talk show! Not sure I could keep up! LOL
I did end up liking her more this season on her Bravo show as it showed a bit more vulnerable side to her, and she was not quite as nasty. She still is very abrasive , and she talks super fast. I'm not sure how her talk show will do as one has to have warmth, imo, to do a daily talk show. Guests have to somewhat relate to the host/hostess. Bethenny , imo, is incredibly smart and witty, but she knows it and some of her "one liners" get old. She thinks she is funnier than she is.
I do think she treats her employees very well, and I also do think if she lets one into her circle, she's probably quite loyal, but it probably takes a long time to earn her trust.
I didn't care for her at all on the NY housewives except for the first season. She ended up using Alex for help with her skinnygirl logo and barely thanked her. She also stirred the pot a lot and talked behind everyone's back ad nauseum. She was quite mean at times.
I know her new talk show is only on in 6 markets so it will be interesting to see how it fares. It's not going to be on in Indianapolis. For the most part, people love her or hate her. I am surprisingly in the middle now after this season of her show. My husband says she is beyond annoying and most guys that even know who she is think she is incredibly annoying and not attractive. I think she has an awesome figure, but her face isn't the prettiest. She's by no means ugly, but she can look really good or really bad in pictures. I like her hair straight more than wavy/curly.
Her daughter is adorable, and Jason seems like a decent guy but he also seems as if he's a bit passive/aggressive in front of the camera.
"Friends don't let friends...drink white zinfandel"
The show IS in my area for viewing, but as it's during the day when I work, I won't be able to watch it! I wouldn't mind seeing it just because! I actually like Bethenny. She's refreshingly HONEST for the most part, which I like, and she doesn't mince words! She'll tell you how it is, whether you want to hear it or not!

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has singled out goalkeeper Pepe Reina and striker Andy Carroll for condemnation after both players let their emotions boil over in defeat to Newcastle United, the Independent has claimed.
On his return to his former club Carroll was booked for diving and later substituted after an ineffective performance, only to be seen swearing at his own bench and storming down the tunnel. Reina, meanwhile, was involved in a confrontation with Newcastle defender James Perch in which the goalkeeper appeared to use his head, drawing a red card and three-game suspension that will see Reina unavailable for the FA Cup semi-final against Everton later in April.
Dalglish said: "We have not got a problem with people showing desperation or disappointment or frustration but we need to channel it better than we have done…Pepe got a deserved red card, then Andy came off and went up the tunnel. He was frustrated."
Liverpool have now lost six of their last seven Premier League games, falling to eighth in the table behind FA Cup opponents Everton, although, ironically, their only victory in that period came against the Toffees, a 3-0 derby triumph in which Steven Gerrard scored a hat-trick.

I don't get all the negative reaction to the language. It was often funny, and certainly never offensive. Maybe I'm just more used to "foul language" than others. If I have any complaints they'd be that there's too much unnecessary dialogue and that you get through the game too quickly.
But overall, I truly enjoyed this game, which, I should note, I played with the Nyko Perfect Shot, which made it that much more fun!

Gameplay was fun, but I pretty much beat the whole game in about 5 days. The key to having more fun with it is going back (after completing it) and earning more money in order to obtain & upgrade bigger and badder weapons. That is where some of the fun comes in later on & REALLY begins.
Overall, I'm glad I rented this one over actually buying it. A great rental title & definitely worth checking out.

I'm not a big fan of House of the Dead games (or any light gun style game for that matter), but this one is amazing. The gameplay is thoroughly satisfying as you dismember mutant zombies in a cool stylistic "Grindhouse" setting. If you love B-movie horror shlock get this game immediately, you won't be disappointed.
There's lots of extras and challenges to keep you coming back as well, with plenty of new guns to buy and upgrade. The production values are top notch, great to see this sort of effort on the Wii.
HOTD Overkill is fun but flawed

6 out of 7 gamers (86%) found this review helpful
The Pros: The gameplay and controls are tiptop. The graphics are not mind-blowing but for Wii, they should be considering above average. The levels are all similar but different enough to stay fresh as the game progresses. The weapon selection is excellent and the ability to purchase new weapons and weapon upgrades is a huge plus. The game's stat tracking is thorough and the hidden items in each level gives Overkill a lot of replay value.
The cons: For starters, the game is simply too easy. Even with just one player, there is not a single time from the opening credits to the final boss that I ever felt even remotely challenged. Even after you complete the main story mode and unlock the "director's cut", the game never reaches a level of proper difficulty. Also, for me, the inability to to skip through the background stories and in-game videos hinders gameplay. Overkill put a lot of time into trying to make the game feel like a B-movie but, quite frankly, it still feels like a lame video game story. Even if it wasn't, there's no excuse to force players to sit through back story.
The verdict: Despite being painfully easy and having an array of annoying quirks, Overkill is a good arcade shooter. It does not reinvent the genre by any means, but the gameplay is solid and the levels are fun enough to keep you coming back. This game is not worth a purchase but well worth a rental. If you're a fan of the genre, House of the Dead Overkill won't surprise you, but if you can look past its glaring flaws, you might just find yourself having a good time. At the very least, I can say that this is the most fun of all the House of the Dead games thus far for the Wii.
Very Good

Now this is not a hardcore gamer game at all, but if you bought a Wii are you really a hardcore gamer? If you are looking for a date game or if you got a Wii and want something more adult then this will work.

For the most part, that's what I did and a friend and I had a blast. It was a perfect shooter to put in for an evening with a buddy. The levels were different and fun, and the gameplay was everything I remembered from the arcade House of the Dead games. PLUS, you could buy/upgrade weapons, nice extra bonus there. The only complaint I have is that the calibration tool for your aim was horrible! Stay away from this! I screwed up the calibration on my controller and couldn't figure out a way to fix it. But anyway, lots of fun, interesting level design (for HotD), the music wasn't too bad either.
The story.. oh.. my. I thought I was prepared, and for the first half of the game I was! All the F-bombs and gore were acceptable pre-informed hazards. My friend and I were mocking the story and having a lot of fun not taking it seriously. Then.. then we got to the last level and subsequent boss fight. I'm just not how to put this into words. I could relate the level of vulgarity to episodes of South Park or Team America World Police, except take out any planned humor and just leave in the raunchy...

Now for the serious problem that a lot of players are having with this game. The volgarity. I'll admit it, there is a lot of f-bombs being dropped all over the place. But come on, lets's think about this in a real life situation. If you are just walking around with a shotgun strapped to your side and all of a sudden a horde of "mutants" showed up, are you seriously going to stop and sensor yourself? No.
So come on guys, lets give this game a little bit of a break and stop complaining about a few f-bombs every now and then. I am willing to bet anybody put in that situation would be cussing up a storm.
I highly recommend this game for any Wii fans.

Outside of these things, the graphics are cool and the game play is fun - even a little creepy at times. I will say that the WII controls can be a little tough to grasp at first, as I think it probably works best with the gun add on.
Awful game.

When perfect gameplay fails to save a game...

Not even the game's wonderfully polished graphics, and killer music helps.
None of that will save this game from itself. The game features swearing, a LOT of swearing. The character Isaac Washington, says "MOTHER F###A!" more times in 30 minutes than Samuel L Jackson does in his last four movies. After a while it stops being funny, and becomes annoying.
There are plot elements that are truly DISGUSTING, especially towards, and during the game's later stages. When I say disgusting, I'm not talking about gore...lets just leave it at that.
Those two things knock a game that was a potential 10, down to a 7.
Rent it, if you can stand the nasty plot content, than buy it. Otherwise just put it back into the Gamefly envelope, and into the mailbox. That's what I did.

This is just a forewarning to anyone that can and will be offended at this game, definitely not for young children. That aside, the minigames are great four player action, and the shooting is what you would expect in this game. There is a storyline, but it's not that good. If they had cleaned up the language (because you can practically shovel it it's so deep) this would be an all around great shooter.
love it

Yeay it's bargain of the week. No need for the credit card today
This weeks bargain comes in at a fantastic price of £12 from boohoo.com.

The metallic chains on the heels are in two colours, a dark pewter colour and light gold. They are also much larger than the chains on the vamp.
They feature a generous round toe so there's no danger of your toes getting all crumpled up

Spring construction season bolstered by nearly $6 million in stimulus funds from U.S. Department of Labor
Today's grant comes from a $5.9 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act award Massachusetts recently received from the U.S. Department of Labor. These funds support training for unemployed, underemployed, and incumbent workers in energy efficient building, construction and retrofit, renewable electric power, biofuels, energy efficiency assessment, sustainable manufacturing, environmental protection and green construction. With these new resources, an estimated 1,400 people will receive training for high-demand jobs where state policies are driving job growth.
"In January, we announced that our State Energy Sector Partnership had received almost $6 million in Recovery Act funds through the U.S. Department of Labor," said Governor Patrick. "As a result, we promised thousands of green jobs would be created and you would see new activity all around the state. And today, we are delivering on those jobs right here at District Council 35."
"As we continue to foster job creation across the state, today's announcement is great news for District Council 35," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "With federal support for training opportunities like this grant award, our administration can provide resources to assist workers in the construction of green, energy efficient, and sustainable buildings."
The Governor and Lieutenant Governor made the announcement following a cabinet meeting at the Painters Union in Roslindale. Labor and Workforce Development Secretary Joanne F. Goldstein and Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles joined the Governor and Lieutenant Governor at the recipient's training facility to celebrate the funding.
"Getting climate and energy reforms passed in the senate is the best possible thing we can do to stimulate the economy and create jobs. This investment will allow us to train our workforce so they can hit the ground running in clean energy jobs that pay well," said Senator John Kerry.
"As the co-author of the Green Jobs Act with now Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis, and after working to ensure that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provided the first allotment of funds for green jobs, I am pleased to see that the Commonwealth has been awarded a $6 million grant," said Congressman John F. Tierney. "Such funds are expected to help Massachusetts workers get the skills and training they need to obtain jobs in high growth energy efficiency and renewable energy industries."
"As someone who graduated from a building trades apprenticeship program, I am pleased to see these funds will provide the investment and improved training necessary to help put people back to work," said Congressman Stephen F. Lynch.
"With these funds, the Obama Administration is giving the green light to green jobs here in the Commonwealth," said Congressman Ed Markey. "This grant will create hundreds of jobs in energy efficiency and biofuels, all while helping to build a pathway towards energy independence. Massachusetts was the birth of the first industrial revolution, and these Economic Recovery Act funds will help start the green jobs revolution right here in our community."
"As spring construction season gets underway, hundreds of your painters across the state will be back on the job," said Secretary Goldstein. "And, not just any job, but good jobs at fair wages, and with strong labor protections."
"This grant is a great addition to the Commonwealth's green job training initiatives already implemented by the Patrick-Murray Administration," Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles said. "Massachusetts is leading the nation in investment in energy efficiency and in adoption of renewable energy technologies like solar, and the result is jobs."
The Massachusetts Energy Sector Partnership was convened by the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development and the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs to implement a training strategy that focuses on industry sectors supported by the state's energy policy and occupations that businesses have identified as in demand and for which workers can be trained in less than three years. Additional partner organizations in the program include the Commonwealth Corporation, the Clean Energy Center (CEC) and a wide range of labor organizations, clean energy companies, and education and training providers.
"This grant is the result of the engagement of clean energy businesses, organized labor and state and regional clean energy and workforce partners to design a statewide approach that prepares Massachusetts residents for green jobs," said Nancy Snyder, President of Commonwealth Corporation, a quasi-public workforce agency that will be managing the grant.
"These grants will provide clean energy companies with the well-trained and skilled workforce they need to succeed, and help position Massachusetts as a leader in the national clean energy industry," said Pat Cloney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, the quasi-public agency which serves as a clearinghouse and support center for the clean energy sector and co-facilitated the application for the grant.

text: You can have a permit to carry a concealed weapon in Louisiana, but you can't bring your weapon when you go out to eat -- not if you're going to a restaurant that sells alcohol, anyway. Lawmakers will be asked to consider a change. "I want to be able to protect my family in the case we're out somewhere at a restaurant and there's a problem," said Rep. Jeff Thompson (R-Bossier City). "This just clarifies the law, it doesn't expand it." Thompson also wants to make a clear distinction in his bill between restaurants and bars. "You can go into restaurants that have incidental sale of alcohol, but we're not trying to expand it to get into bars," he explained. Thompson says it is also important to realize this would not legalize being drunk while carrying a gun: "You lose a concealed-carry permit license if you've got a blood alcohol level of point-oh-five." Thompson's bill is filed for the legislative session that begins March 10.

We weren't particularly interested in historical references in performance. We were more interested in dealing with the very ambivalent Futurist approach to women—on the one hand they fear and loathe them, on the other they 're secretly enraptured and entrapped by the feminine. The whole thing started for us with a short fragment of a text entitled Comme si nutriva l'Ardito (How the Shock Trooper Nourished Himself ), where a young soldier proposes that one sever a woman's legs and torso, devour them, and keep her cunt in one's backpack. Woman is reduced to a pure object, a pleasure-tool. He removes all obstacles, devours everything that is weak and sentimental—that is, everything "feminine"—so that he may trap these sensations within himself, thereby reducing the need for women to the basic mechanics of sex. There's a recurring theme of the body as a vessel, a vehicle, armoured, impenetrable (from both directions).

Pig Pig Pig, 2010
December 15, 2010 § Leave a comment
PIG PIG PIG attempts a new vocabulary of violence, broaching the unspeakable: absence, solitude, the monstrous, anger, horror and pleasure, the very brutality of being–myths supporting otherness; an oppositional otherness, making language and sex attacks on a falsely tolerant society. Incantatory texts intone a melancholy foreboding of a body no longer idyllic but base merchandise; the body as garbage. To celebrate, and also to make present and understand the other, whether real or imagined, is not primarily an analytic activity, but a mimetic one. It is to speak like the other and at the same time remain oneself; losing each other while taking up the other's identities, shifting mutably between one self and the other, one sex and the other. 'This way of finding oneself in the other, this objectification, is always more or less, a form of alienation, at once a loss of oneself and a recovery of oneself,' writes Umberto Eco in The Open Work. Contrarily, there are means of subjectivation by definition of the other, of that which we are not—'I know who I am because I am not you.'
Defining the other is simultaneously to define the collective. Defining the other is the act that brings the collective into being. Cultural homogeneity effaces the vitality of difference. Applying the formal practice of writing to our bodies—akin to the literary experiments of Henri Michaux or later passages by Pier Paolo Pasolini, both of whose texts we utlize in the work—we begin from movements that speak without expressing detectable or rational (thus, narrative) discourse, exploring elements of variation and erasure as they would be applied in a textual manner.
We are one being split into two halves, good and bad—approaching an aesthetic of revision, fragmentation, doubling. This corrupted speech intones a new vocabulary of violence. Citation, quotation, pastiche, parody, analogy, repetition, rhyme are a means to dislocate the spectator out of a fictional logic, toward otherness. Language does not represent, it cites. It repeats. It forms analogies, thus effacing identification, or definitions of space or linearity. As the two sole performers, we attempt to erase ourselves within the work in order to approach being 'other ', thereby achieving a form of contamination, of perversion of self.

Have Mercy on Me, 2010
November 24, 2010 § Leave a comment
HAVE MERCY ON ME looks at paradise not through a biblical lens, but opting for artificial paradises—to borrow somewhat from Baudelaire; looking to soil the image of paradise, making of its mystical purity something rather more organic, less ethereal. The quest for paradise is a quest for ecstasy, apotheosis. We present a search for a more prosaic ecstasy, stripped of its sacred element; a search for pure pleasures—masturbation, drugs, fantasy—in a place where none can fulfill you. In heaven, nothing happens. At the center of this journey is the poet—who, after all, invented the notion of paradise. After being torn to pieces, Orpheus remained but a disembodied head. We propose the body as the location of paradise—alterable, inhabitable—in multitude, infinitely permutable; alone, a receptacle of desire.
Etymologically speaking, Paradise, or παράδεισος, refers to a walled enclosure. The performance takes place over 2 hours within a small gutted house, driven by a pulsating incantatory soundtrack; a seemingly infinite repetition of candid moments of domesticity, bodily violence and loss of self.

PHOENIX, January 29, 2012―President Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, had the Department of Justice dump more documents relating to botched Operation Fast and Furious on congressional officials late Friday night. The documents reveal that Holder learned of the death of Border Patrol agent, Brian Terry, on the day it happened.
The released emails show a conversation between one official, whose name was redacted, and now-former Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke.
"On December 14, 2010, a BORTAC agent working in the Nogales, AZ AOR was shot. The agent was conducting Border Patrol operations 18 miles north of the international boundary when he encountered [redacted word] unidentified subjects. Shots were exchanged resulting in the agent being shot. At this time, the agent is being transported to an area where he can be air lifted to an emergency medical center," the email read.
Another email sent an hour later, read: "Our agent has passed away."
Burke then forwarded those two email to Eric Holder's then-deputy chief of staff, Monty Wilkinson, adding that the shooting was "not good," due to the fact that it had happened "18 miles w/in" the United States border.
Wilkinson responded with, ""I've alerted the AG [Holder], the Acting DAG, Lisa, etc."
Later that day, Burke sent an email to Wilkinson alerting him that the guns used to kill Brian Terry were weapons from the gunrunning operation, Fast and Furious.
"The guns found in the desert near the murdered BP officer connect back to the investigation we were going to talk about – they were AK-47s purchased at a Phoenix gun store," Burke wrote to Wilkinson in an email.
These document dumps always occur late on Friday nights, when the media isn't around to report on them. Then when the congressional hearings occur, Holder cries wolf and tries to portray himself as innocent.
Holder told Congress on May 3, 2011, "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks." He later amended that claim, saying that it would have been more accurate to call the time period "a couple of months." These emails clearly show that Holder lied to Congress and that he knew of Operation Fast and Furious by December, 2010.
This scandal continues to unfold and has become the biggest Washington scandal since Watergate. It should be a key election issue and should be pursued by the Republican presidential candidates.
Holder could potentially be looking at perjury charges due to these emails. However, it is unclear if his vague answer draw such action.
Eric Holder will appear on Tuesday before the House Oversight Committee and its chair, Rep. Darrell Issa, to testify.

Requests for information │ Useful links │ SPEHIS annual reports
South Pacific epidemiological and health information services (SPEHIS) were provided by the PHS&CDC section in the format of annual reports (since 1974) and monthly reports (since 1990). You will find the reports below.
With the creation of the Pacific Public Health Surveillance Network (PPHSN) in 1996 and the role our section played in the development of the network, the routine SPEHIS data collection did temporarily not stand among the top priorities, and was stopped.
For continuity purposes, we are planning to resume the data collection retrospectively as from 2000 (SPEHIS has collected data until 1999).
Our PHS&CDC section answers requests for information about health and epidemiological data. If you have any question, please send us a message >
> Pacific Regional Information SysteM (PRISM)
> SPC Demography/Population website
The SPEHIS annual reports were compiled from the data provided by Ministries of Health of SPC member-countries.

Hello everyone,
I just watched Lauren's last dread video, and it really got me wondering whether or not i should start my dreads over too. I've been thinking about it for a couple of weeks now or more and the idea is really starting to grow on me. It irks me to think that mine arent completely "natural" even though I didn't use products or tools. I don't know, I love my dreads, but I'm so curious what they would have looked like naturally. The sad thing is that they've recently…Continue

I've done a pretty good job at separating my dreads, but three on the side of my head are extremely knotted together. the one in the middle of the three used to be two, but those two congoed which was fine because they were pretty thin, but now they are dragging in their neighbors! I've been trying to separate them for a while, but nothing works. They all have a bead around them but that doesn't help at all. I don't want to cut my hair so I'm tempted to just let them congo...I would like…Continue

To anyone thinking about getting something from HippyFish/Earthiest, DO IT. These are really quality products that I'm sure will last a very long time, and the price is completely reasonable. Her tams are made from 100% virgin wool and the one I purchased is a perfect size for younger dreadies like mine that still have growing to do. All of my dreads fit inside the tam with some room to spare (my hair is passed my shoulder). And the peyote sleeves feel very tight and secure.…Continue

Hey what's up Aika, stop by to check on your awesomeness but I see you haven't been on or haven't been active in awhile. That makes me think bad things could of happened to your locks lol. Hope all is well and still lockin up. Peace :)
Hey Girl!
So I'm in the process of taking out my crocheted dreads right now and going for a more natural path. I was thinking of also doing the TnR to get started and then let them go their own way. Was wondering though if you had any tips or advice for me. I've been a bit lost in all this (with so many people telling me different things) but I feel like you've been in a similar boat and you're dreads look gorgeous. I'm really looking for a guiding hand. Thanks
Peace and Love
Wow your dreads are rockin!!! ours are like complete oposites haha theyre lookin rad keep it up
Hey girl! Love your dreads! :D Keep it up!
wow your dreads are ...well the only word that firs is wow
Hey, glad to hear back from you! It is nice to be able to keep in touch on here, I am also on facebook if you want you can add me there too. My shop is back open... we were doing so much moving around and house remodeling that it was just best to put it on hold for a bit, but I'm not making sleeves anymore, I'm just trying to focus on my knitting because I love it so much. I'm phasing them out by the end of the year, but I'm hoping to start making some knit wool dread sleeves in the future, I had someone do a special request for one before for her husband and it turned out pretty cool... right now I'm working on some knit dread wraps, but it's a learning process with the size! I do hope life is treating you well too and that your dread journey is still great!
Well I hope life's going well for you. Mines about to get crazy
Hey. When did you get back?
Hey hun! Your dreads are looking fantastic.. hope your are still making those awesome head wraps, you do a great job! It's been quite some time since I've been on here because of moving and my shop so I thought I'd stop in and say hi... peace & love!

Dog found under rubble 9 days after Ill. tornadoNovember 29, 2013 @ 11:58 am
WASHINGTON, Ill. (AP) - A six-month-old pit bull that was buried under a pile of rubble for more than a week after a tornado ripped through a central Illinois city has been coaxed to freedom with hot dogs and reunited with his owner.
Jacob Montgomery, a member of the Illinois National Guard, was separated from the dog, Dexter, when the Nov. 17 tornado destroyed his third-floor apartment in Washington. Montgomery combed through the wreckage multiple times but turned up no sign of Dexter.
Nine days after the storm, a neighbor who was looking for his cat, also missing, with the help of a group called Rescuing Animals in Need sent Montgomery a Facebook message to tell him Dexter had been found partially buried in debris where the apartment building used to stand.
"He said, `I've got your dog right here,'" Montgomery recalled in a statement released by the Illinois National Guard. "As soon as Dexter saw me, his tail started going."
The pooch was in relatively good shape.
"The vet said he has no real injuries _ just a few scrapes and cuts," said Montgomery, who got Dexter as a puppy to keep him company when he moved from Champaign. "He was malnourished, but he's going to be fine."
The Washington tornado was part of a band of heavy storms that brought rain, high winds and a rash of twisters to Illinois, and left seven people dead in its wake.
Montgomery has been a military police officer with the Illinois Army National Guard for more than five years and is trained to respond to emergencies. But he says he's never been the victim of such a disaster.
"All I had in my apartment is gone, but my dog was all I really had to worry about," he said.
Montgomery is staying with a friend in nearby Peoria until he can find a new home.

This is fabulous stuff - I used this interchangeably with All Soft treatment on my dry, coarse and frizzy curly hair and it was amazing. From memory this is slightly more rich than the All Soft, but great treatment product for unruly hair and highly recommended.
Anonymous - 24/09/2011 (5 of 5)
i love this product! my hair is very damaged as i use my straightners all the time and it ishighlighted but redken smooth down butter treatment makes it look and feel so much better! the pot is massive and you don't need to use much so will last ages. i recommend this prouct to everyone.
Anonymous - 11/08/2011 (5 of 5)
I love this treatment. It left my hair so soft and shiny and I could tell the difference after the second use. You will get best results if you leave it in your hair for as much as possible before rinsing. It is expensive but the size is big so it will last longer than the usual treatment sizes.

I have to join in with the 5 star rating here (and I don't hand out 5 stars unless I really, really like a product) I have fine hair which easily gets weighted down with heavy conditioner. However I also regularly dye it and am no longer in my twenties (when my hair seemed to put up with just about anything I did to it). I've struggled my way through many, many conditioning treatments which were either not conditioning enough, left build-up residues over time or made my hair completely limp. This is a fantastic product. I use it weekly and slather it on, put a towel or shower cap over it (pray the doorbell does not ring) and leave it for a good half an hour. My hair is transformed every time; in great condition yet not at all weighted. Oh and try putting some on in the sauna if you have access to one (they probably don't like you doing this...shhhh) Highly Recommended!!

Hillary Clinton-Mikhail Kryzhanovsky 2016
In 1995, I, a former KGB spy , was recruited by CIA. I had to spy on the White House and the United States Congress. More important - Bill Clinton was a target and we were discussing his "neutralization" - I hope, you understand what is this. In 2001 I've asked Senator Hillary Clinton for help. I refused to cooperate with CIA and had big problems. She said "no" and I had to blackmail her saying that I've saved her husband's life refusing to work for CIA. Finally, she helped me to fight CIA on my side.
I'm ready to join her 2016 presidential campaign and build communism in America.
Mikhail Kryzhanovsky,
a former KGB and CIA "Filament"

I keep saying I'm going to do this, but I haven't been able to find a wedding dress at a resale shop that's cheap enough for a costume. My mother would – I'm sure – have a coronary if I used my wedding dress for it! I mean, the marriage didn't last any time at all, but I looked damned good in that dress and don't want to mess it up!
I'd love to find some pictures of people dressed up as Miss Havisham to get some ideas. 6 years ago

As an American living in Spain, I need a visa, green card, working papers or residency to live here legally. Many fellow Americans and Canadians have asked me how I got my papeles, or working papers, and my answer to them is always, 'not easily'.
Here are some things to remember if you are going to start the process of getting legal in Spain.
- It's a catch 22. You need a job to get working papers, and you need working papers to get a job. Good luck trying to wrap you mind around that one!
- It's HARD! Do not underestimate the many levels of hell that you will have to go through to get legal. It is very complex. It is very time consuming. It is very expensive. If you are lucky enough to have an employer to pay for it all, then count your lucky stars.
- Get a lawyer. I tried to get legal on my own. Big mistake. Save yourself A WHOLE LOT of time and heartache and call an attorney who specializes in immigration.
- Take up meditation. This will come in handy when you are asked to wait for long periods of time. Deep breathing exercises will help you through all the stress.
- Get a book. When you tire of meditating, you may want a good book to fall back on . I recommend Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin, which got me through my latest visit to the Spanish government offices. Take a number, take a seat, and dig into a good hour of reading time!
** If you're from a EU country, then as of July 2012 things got a bit more difficult for you, too! Sorry! Take a look at this post by Nick Snelling on the subject: New Regulations
More: Update – I used to recommend a lawyer in Barcelona here, but after my last experience with him, I can no longer recommend him. What I can say is that there are many lawyers in Barcelona and across Spain to help you with this process. Shop around. Find one that won't charge you for the first consultation. It is not uncommon that they charge you the first half of their fee up front and the second half when the process is complete. Because the visa situation has become more complex as Spain has gone further into economic crisis, I would not try to go this process alone. Get professional help!

Kansas One Room
The Kansas Heritage Server would like to thank Gail Martin (email@example.com) for contributing this information.
In family research for a friend I ran across a tidbit of information on Middle Creek school in Linn County. The family was Anthony and Angeline Bright in 1870 through 1885 lived in Lincoln Township, Linn County, Kansas. Their children in 1870 were William Henry 12 year old born in Indiana; Jessie C. 10, born in Illinois; Columbus 9, born in Nebraska; Eliza M. 7, born in Nebraska; Polie (Pauline) 5, born in Nebraska. Anthony Bright's had another wife before Angeline. His first 3 children were Wesley born 1849 in Ohio; Lucinda born 1852 and Amy or Emma, who according to family history says attended Middle Creek School between 1860 /1870.
Not sure if this is any help but maybe it will trigger someone else's memory.

1. Write down everything you eat and drink for at least a week.
Keeping a food journal is helpful in a number of ways. Not only does writing down what you eat actually make you choose better foods (who wants to see on paper that they ate six doughnuts?), but it will also give you a sense of how much food you are really eating and what your specific problem areas might be. People can underestimate what they eat by up to 50%, so you may not perceive that you are eating as much as you are until you write it down. When you keep your food journal, make sure you note the time of day, portion size, and a rating of how hungry you are on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = not hungry, 5 = ravenous). If you have access to a computer and printer, you can print out a food and activity journal designed by the American Diabetes Association here. Otherwise, a simple notebook or even some sheets of paper will do.
After you have kept your journal for a few days, you may notice that you often eat late at night or that you sometimes eat out of boredom rather than hunger. You may also find that you eat the same foods over and over (most people do) or that you skip meals and end up overeating when you finally get to the table.
In addition to helping you lose weight, keeping a food journal can help you avoid regaining it. If you have lost weight and find the scale creeping up again, start writing things down to get yourself back on track.
2. Learn to read food labels.
Nutrition Facts panels are required on the labels of almost all packaged foods in the United States. They are best used to compare similar products, such as two breakfast cereals or two canned soups. At a glance you can see which product has more fiber, sodium, sugar, fat, etc., per serving.
Use the % Daily Value column as a guideline for each nutrient: 0% to 10% is low, 10% to 20% is moderate, and greater than 20% is high. Look for low percentages of fat (especially saturated fat), cholesterol, and sodium, and moderate to high values for fiber, vitamins, and minerals. A note on trans fat: There is no Daily Value established, and it is best to avoid it altogether. Use the ingredients list to avoid added sugars. In the ingredients list, the items are listed in descending order by weight (from most to least). If sugar or another caloric sweetener such as high-fructose corn syrup is the first or second ingredient in the list, you know the food is high in added sugar.
Keep in mind that all the numbers on the Nutrition Facts are based on one serving, which may be more or less than you eat. If one serving is 1/2 cup of cereal and you eat 1 cup of cereal, you must multiply all of the numbers by two. Beware of misleadingly labeled items, such as a 16-ounce carton of juice that is labeled as two 8-ounce servings even though it is clearly packaged as a "single serving" item.
3. Plan your menu for the week on Saturday.
Menu planning makes life easier on several levels. If you shop with a planned menu, you will be less likely to buy unnecessary food that can spoil, which will save you money. Shopping with a specific list also saves time and can deter you from adding unhealthy snacks to your cart. Knowing what is for dinner every night can make preparation easier, since you may be able to prepare some of the meal earlier in the day (or week) rather than hastily putting it together right before dinner.
Planning menus can also help you add variety to your diet and get out of ruts in your eating habits. For example, you can plan for a different vegetable each day and alternate lean meats, chicken, fish, beans, and tofu for your protein. If you have a family, ask them to participate in menu planning. They might have new ideas or remember a favorite dish that you have long forgotten. Planning meals will help ensure that you do not skip meals or choose less favorable foods out of hunger and convenience. Make a plan every Saturday or Sunday, or the day before you usually shop.
