Sweet: President faces new call to action on gun control
BY LYNN SWEET Twitter: @lynnsweet December 15, 2012 12:02AM
U.S. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.)
Updated: January 17, 2013 6:43AM
WASHINGTON — There is no way that I am going to predict that outrage over the horrific shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School will lead to more gun control — even as President Barack Obama on Friday pledged "meaningful action" in the wake of another tragedy.
What does it take? So far, not Columbine, Colo., in 1999. Not the Washington, D.C., snipers in 2002. Not Virginia Tech in 2007. Not Northern Illinois University in 2008. Not former Rep. Gabby Giffords in 2011. Not Aurora, Colo., last July. Not the Sikh Temple near Milwaukee last August. Not the ongoing gun violence back home in Chicago.
If a lawmaker getting shot in the head does not prompt the White House and Congress to act, what will?
You see, Obama has never been a leader when it comes to gun control. Not while a state senator, or U.S. senator from Illinois, as president and candidate for a second term. Gun control — ever contentious, divisive and polarizing — was never an issue Obama wanted to embrace.
That's why Obama's call to take "meaningful action" may have some significance — now that Obama never has to stand for election again.
Gun control foes know that the attention moves on after people are gunned down and all they have to do is wait.
As the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence noted Friday, "If the pattern holds," elected officials, soon after offering sympathies, "will immediately retreat into silence and refuse to engage in any meaningful debate about America's catastrophically flawed gun laws, which directly facilitate one gun massacre after the next."
The group called on Obama "to be a leader in this process and to speak out boldly and directly."
Obama rarely has made gun control any priority. Last October, during the second presidential debate, the one with the town hall format, Obama was asked by a woman, "during the Democratic National Convention in 2008, you stated you wanted to keep AK-47s out of the hands of criminals. What has your administration done or planned to do to limit the availability of assault weapons?"
Obama did not have much to offer in reply at that debate because he never pushed hard to renew a federal assault weapons ban. At that debate, Obama called for doing more to enforce the laws on the books, said background checks have improved and offered that in the future, he would like an assault weapons ban.
"And so what I'm trying to do is to get a broader conversation about how do we reduce the violence generally. Part of it is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced. But part of it is also looking at other sources of the violence. Because frankly, in my hometown of Chicago, there's an awful lot of violence and they're not using AK-47s. They're using cheap handguns," Obama told the woman.
The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence said "we were moved by President Obama's raw emotion during his remarks today. We are committed to working with him to channel it into the change that is too long overdue."
Obama is going to be pressured mainly by his fellow Democrats, since, the reality is, gun control is more of an issue for Democrats than Republicans.
Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) is one of the top gun control advocates in Congress, running after her husband was murdered and son injured when a shooter opened fire on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train in 1993.
"Leaders in Washington from both
parties, and groups like the NRA, all
say that now is not the time to talk about how gun safety laws can save lives in
America. I agree, now is not the time to talk about gun laws — the time for that conversation was long before all those kids in Connecticut died today," McCarthy said in a statement.
McCarthy said she and others will seek to hold Obama to his pledge. "I hope the President's words about taking 'meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this regardless of the politics' stay true as we continue down this road again," she said.

Gomez Photoshop Contest Results
Games, Off-Base, Site May 3rd, 2013
Last week, we decided to hold a little Photoshop contest for our readers with a grand prize of a ticket to our Pants Party 3D on June 23rd ($35 monetary value, infinite fun value), and a Forward Fabrics shirt for the runner up. Entrants were given the amazing Morry Gash (lolz again... Gash!) photograph to the right as a basis for a funny Photoshop redesign of their own.
We received lots of submissions from a whole bunch of readers throughout the week, and we didn't even have to be desperate about getting people to participate at all. Chalk up another successful promotion for the MPD boys!
Actually, participation only climbed to upwards of three people. Yikes! Anyway, since we promised stuff to people, I thought we'd share the efforts and name the runner-up and winning submissions below.

Signs of True Love
Commanded to Love: Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V | Part VI | Part VII | Part VIII | Part IX | Part X | Part XI | Part XII | Part XIII | Part XIV
Now that we know what love actually is, how do we know that we actually love him? How do we know that our hearts are actually inclined to him and that we are not merely uttering words that do not resonate within us? There are signs that one can look for and strive for so that we may be sure to have this needed and craved love.
1. Itiba` (Following him) and ta`ah (Obeying him): In the Qur'an we are not only commanded to obey the Prophet ﷺ (May God peace and blessings be upon him), but also to follow him. There are many benefits that come from obeying him and following him aside from the great reward of it being a sign of loving him.
a. Obeying him is a means of becoming guided. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala (Glorified is He) said in the Qur'an:
Say, "Obey Allah and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away – then upon him is only that [duty] with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification."
(Qur'an 24: 54)
b. Obeying him is a means of attaining the mercy of Allah (swt). Allah said in the Qur'an:
And obey Allah and the Messenger that you may obtain mercy. (Qur'an 3:132)
c. Obeying him is a means of entering Jannah (Paradise)
And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger and fears Allah and is conscious of Him – it is those who attain (of Jannah) (Qur'an 24: 52)
d. Following him is a sign of loving Allah and will actually cause Allah to love you and forgive your sins!
Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah , then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. [..]." (Qur'an 3: 31)
2. Preferring the law that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ brought over our own desire. Allah (swt) says in the Qur'an:
But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission (Qur'an 4: 65)
3. Constantly mentioning him: When we love something or someone, that thing becomes frequently mentioned in our conversations and becomes the thoughts we drift to when our minds wander.
4. Yearning for him: Every lover yearns for his/her beloved. If you find your heart yearning for him, and craving to see his face, know that this is a sign of true love for him, alayhisalam (Peace be upon him).
5. Respecting him and displaying humility at his mention
6. Loving those whom he loved: When we truly love someone we love those who brought happiness to the heart of our beloved. Of those the Prophet ﷺ truly loved were Khadija, Aisha, Hassan and Hussain, the companions, and the Ummah (Muslim community) as a whole.
7. Love for the Qur'an
8. Naseeha (sincere counsel) for His community
May these signs of love and compassion for our beloved Prophet ﷺ be prevalent in our daily lives, bringing us closer to drinking from his hands on the Day of Judgment and entering Jannah with him.

Donny Osmond Home Silky Shag AMB Ivory Rug
Item #: 157AMB0650-P Add to Wishlist
Description: Silky Shag is an inspired chenille shag rug that features innovative, modern construction details and an irresistible eco-retro style. Its billowy tufts are softer and silkier than those of traditional shag rugs made from wool or synthetic fibers. The uniquely luxuriant look and feel of this rug is due to a custom specified blended yarn of 50% rayon made from bamboo and 50% cotton. And, unlike wool shags that are prone to a lifetime of heavy shedding, our Silky Shag is practically lint-free. Have you made family your #1 priority today? Let's make time, together. Find out more at DonnyOsmond.com
- Collection: Silky Shag
- Brand: Donny Osmond Home
- Material: 100% Bamboo
- Weave: Machine Made
- Styles: Contemporary Rugs Shag & Flokati Rugs Solid & Striped Rugs Natural Fiber Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 3' x 5', 4' x 6', 5' x 8', 8' x 10' and 9' x 12'
This rug is a rope-like shag but the shag pieces are spaced a bit far apart so that it's not hard to see the bottom of the rug through the shag. Would be nice if it was "fuller". It is soft and does look nice but I think it is a bit overpriced for the quality, I know I said I would recommend it, but only if the price was better. There is no odor whatsoever like other reviewers mentioned.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.We needed a rug for our infant son to safely play on. The first rug we ordered happened to shed - A LOT. And I determined that it was just not safe for an infant to be crawling on. So we ordered this one. It is fantastic! Does not shed at all, soft & plush and safe for my baby. Lastly, it is a really nice looking rug.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Love the rug! Arrived in just a few days in great shape. No odd odors, color is a nice creamy beige, good quality, and it looks great in our family room. Will definitely purchase from Rugs USA again.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.It's a nice rug. I got in in the cream color. It is very soft and does not shed, and It looks to be of a decent quality. I would buy a rug from that maker again. It looks exactly as the pictures online display it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.A really simple, soft rug. Just what I was looking for!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Very happy with the product. What you can't tell from the image is how thick the strands of "shag" are. Very cool! I ordered the ivory, and unlike one reviewer, I did not feel that it looked like dirty snow. It wasn't ivory, but a nice cream.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I loved the color and size of the rug. It was just as advertised. However, It had such a harsh chemical smell that I couldn't get it back into the wrapping fast enough. Once the rug was gone the smell lasted for a week. I was extremely unhappy.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.The rugs were delivered quickly. This bamboo shag is high quality, very soft, and has no toxic odor smell. I am disappointed with color though. The item is listed as "beige" on the website and the picture shows a tannish-yellow color. The rug we received is a off-white, almost grey. Not the color I was expecting at all. It says beige on the tag but this is not beige. Beige is a very light brown color....not grey.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.high quality rug - soft bamboo doesn't shed, gives a nice, contemporary look - exactly what I was looking for. Saw it locally, saved myself about $200.00 on this site. Happy customer.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I got this rug for my business office. It is beautiful! I highly reccomend it!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Good features: - Rug was well packaged and delivered in a timely fashion - Rug is made of organic material (bamboo, cotton). - Rug has a nice, but not cheap shag look, and soft feel. Bad feature: - Color was not as expected based on the presentation on the website. I ordered the ivory, which on the website has a creamy hue, but in reality was off-white, a bit like a dirty snow white.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Very good quality in the sewing with no loose threads or fuzz. The strands are approximately 1 1/2 inches long and the rug has a clean look and smell. Perfect for a casual modern decor.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Very contemporary and good quality rug.
Very contemporary and good quality rug.
We bought this rug for our mud room and it is perfect! The dark color is perfect for hiding the wet slop of winter. We have tried various rugs in the space and I think we have finally found the perfect one.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.So soft and nice to know my daughter won't be sucking in toxins when learning to crawl
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The rug is soft, deep in texture and rich in color. Looks beautiful!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

Review: 'Gerhard Richter Painting' Meets the Artist on His Own Terms
Movie Reviews By Landon Palmer on March 15, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIn one of the few times that Corrina Belz's documentary Gerhard Richter Painting breaks its present-tense, fly-on-the-wall approach to its titular subject, an archival black-and-white interview of a much younger Richter is shown. In the interview, Richter states, "To talk about painting is not only difficult but perhaps pointless, too. You can only express in words what words are capable of expressing, what language can communicate. Painting has nothing to do with that." Belz's film seeks to meet the artist on his own terms, providing neither a complete, contextualized biography nor a day-in-the-life diary of her subject. Gerhard Richter Painting is as elegantly simple and straightforward as its title suggests: instead of chronicling the artist's history or delving into his personal life, the film seeks to capture the process by which the most obvious subject that defines the artist's life is made manifest, his art. Belz's minimalist approach to her subject is refreshing. In the movie, we are not given a "definitive" non-fiction account of Richter, but Belz attempts instead to let the subject define himself, both in the traditional fashion of verbal address (though this takes the form of impromptu confessionals during work breaks, and doesn't revert to turning Richter into a "talking head") and in capturing Richter hard at work constructing his paintings in an incremental fashion.

Female lawyers £50,000 adrift in pay stakes
Related Articles
Published: 23 January 2013
The scale of the gender pay gap at Britain's law firms was laid bare today when figures showed the average female lawyer is paid £51,396 a year less than a male.
The figures, from legal recruiter Laurence Simons, found men took home an average pay packet, including salary and bounses, worth £162,689 last year, against £111,293 for women.
Women lawyers received half the average bonus of men — £23,622 compared with £47,496 for men, and only 76% of the average male lawyer's salary.
But the gap is narrowing, as men saw a £5228 fall in average pay last year while women saw average pay rise £1391. Last year also saw a 2% rise in the proportion of female partners at Magic Circle firms, to 18%.

Why are there so many posters making this harder than it is?
You charge a monthly Fee that allows you to OPT-IN so you can enjoy the MRV Service and help defray the costs of the MRV Software. If you decide you don't think it is for you, then you just never OPT-IN and you will not be charged for it.
If you can't set up a Wired/Wireless Network, then you call Directv and they will install a Deca System and you pay for the equipment/installation.
Why should I help pay for someone's system who can't install a Network similar to mine when they didn't help me pay for my Network Environment?
How do you control it? By only allowing those who OPT-IN to be able to have access to the MRV Service. Very Simple.
Don't the DIRECTV software developers get paid regardless? There have been many software features developed and enabled throughout the many years of my service with DIRECTV. This would be - in my recollection - the first time such a fee is implemented. There are other fees of course, monthly DVR, HD access, etc. But I think there is some grey area here. Is MRV software - or is it a service? I don't think the posters are making anything harder - they are simply stating their opinion on a surprising move by DIRECTV to charge for what we are all agreeing - is a software feature.

Canned Heat
Emerging in 1966, Canned Heat was founded by blues historians and record collectors Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson and Bob "The Bear" Hite. They gained international attention and secured their niche in the pages of rock 'n roll history with their performances at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival (along with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and The Who) and the headlining slot at the original Woodstock Festival. Wilson was already renowned for his distinctive harmonica work when he accompanied veteran bluesman, Son House, on his rediscovery album, "Father of the Blues." Hite took the name Canned Heat from a 1928 recording by Tommy Johnson. They were joined by Henry "The Sunflower" Vestine, another ardent record collector capable of fretboard fireworks at a moment's notice who was a former member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. Rounding out the band in 1967 were Larry "The Mole" Taylor on bass, an experienced session musician who had played with Jerry Lee Lewis and The Monkees and Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra on drums who had played in two of the biggest Latin American bands, Los Sinners and Los Hooligans and then with The Platters, The Shirelles, T-Bone Walker and Etta James. Canned Heat's unique blend of modern electric blues, rock and boogie has earned them a loyal following and influenced many aspiring guitarists and bands during the past 35 years. Their Top-40 country-blues-rock songs, "On The Road Again," "Let's Work Together," and "Going Up The Country," became rock anthems throughout the world with the later being adopted as the unofficial theme song for the film Woodstock. Right from the start, Canned Heat has been at the forefront of popularizing blues music. Their second album, "Boogie With Canned Heat," included the worldwide hit "On The Road Again" and a twelve minute version of "Fried Hockey Boogie" that established them with hippie ballroom audiences as the "kings of the boogie!" Their third album, "Living The Blues," included a 19-minute tour de force, "Parthenogenesis" which displayed the quintet at their most experimental along with their incarnation of Henry Thomas' "Bulldozer Blues" where singer, Wilson, retained the tune of the original song, rewrote the lyric and came up with "Goin' Up The Country," whose simple message caught the "back-to-nature" attitude of the late '60s and went to #1 in 25 countries around the world. The band can boast of collaborations with John Mayall and Little Richard and later with blues icon, John Lee Hooker, the musician that they initially got much of their musical inspiration from in the first place. This union first produced the spirited and revered album, "Hooker 'n Heat" and then Hooker's 1990 Grammy Award-winning classic, "The Healer." The band is also credited with bringing a number of other forgotten bluesmen to the forefront of modern blues including Sunnyland Slim, who they found driving a taxi in Chicago, Skip James, who they found in a hospital in Tunica, Mississippi and took to the Newport Festival, Memphis Slim and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown with whom they recorded in France and Albert Collins. They brought Collins to California where they had their manager negotiate a recording agreement for Albert that started him on his way to becoming a well known musician throughout the world. On September 3rd, 1970, the band was shattered by the suicide of Alan Wilson. His death sparked reconstruction within the group and member changes continued throughout the next two decades. On April 5th, 1981, at the Palamino in Los Angeles, gargantuan vocalist, Bob Hite, collapsed and died of a heart attack and on October 20th, 1997, Henry Vestine died in Paris, France following the final gig of a European tour. Despite these untimely deaths and assorted musical trends, Canned Heat has survived under the leadership of Fito de la Parra since the late 70's. Since 1967, the band has toured extensively all over the world, performing at numerous festivals including Monterey Pop, Newport Pop, the Sturgis Motorcycle Run U.S.A., and the original Woodstock. They have performed at world-renowned venues such as Paris' Olympia, both Fillmore Auditoriums, The Kaleidoscope, Carnegie Hall (with John Lee Hooker), Madison Square Garden and even Royal Albert Hall and have played more biker festivals than any other band in the world. They and/or their music have been featured on television (In Concert, David Frost, Merv Griffin, Midnight Special, Playboy After Dark, etc.), and in films ("Woodstock," "Flashback," and "Forrest Gump" etc.). Their legend has recently been heard and felt in various television commercials ("On The Road Again" for Miller Beer, "Goin' Up The Country" for Pepsi, Chevrolet and McDonalds, "Let's Work Together" for Lloyd's Bank, England's Electric Company and for Target Stores along with other songs for 7-Up, Levi's and Heineken Beer). Now, more than thirty-six years later and with thirty-six albums to their credit, Canned Heat is still going strong. Anchored throughout by the steady hand of drummer/band leader Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra (a member since 1967), Canned Heat is well on track to carry the boogie-blues it made famous, well into the 21st century. With one of their strongest lineups ever, now together since the end of 1999, Fito on drums, Greg Kage on bass and vocals, Dallas Hodge on guitar and vocals, John Paulus on guitar and vocals and Stanley Behrens on harmonica, flute, saxophone and vocals. They have just completed recording their new CD entitled "Friends In The Can." This record brings together a number of Canned Heat's musical friends from the past and present to join them in this musical collaboration and celebration of 36 years of Canned Heat music. Fito's book, "LIVING THE BLUES" is available through the band's website at www.cannedheatmusic.com and at most popular book outlets. It is the complete and outrageous Canned Heat story of "Music, Drugs, Death, Sex and Survival" along with over 100 captivating pictures from their past. And, as The Bear would say: "Don't Forget To Boogie!"

This week has seen the action in Albany to be somewhat muted compared to the flurry of activity last week. Budget negotiations are in the final stages and all signs point to completion early to middle of next week.
Minimum wage, it appears, is not included in budget negotiations, but the issue is far from over. And really, I take everything with a grain of salt..
Yesterday, in a case that NFIB filed an amicus in support of the petitioners, the Supreme Court unanimously upheld the rights of landowners! This was a tremendous victory for small business owners across the country!
From the ICYMI files, recently the New York State Department of Financial Services announced it was investigating out-of-network medical costs. NFIB members have continued to voice their concerns with the rising costs of health care, and I appreciate the effort here to look into these exorbitant costs. Learn more here.
Speaking of healthcare, oral arguments begin Monday in the historic Supreme Court hearing on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. NFIB, with 26 other states, has been a national leader in bring this to the Supreme Court level. Truly a tremendous accomplishment and all eyes will on the Court has the proceedings begin.

The 'bullet within a bullet' design results in 12 segments which deliver dramatic stopping power and massive tissue damage. The Supreme Elite Dual Bond is suitable for whitetail deer to large dangerous game, such as brown bear.
Why the dual jacket?
The outer jacket is designed for rapid and maximum upset and opens up to six dramatic segments. The inner jacket works with the bonded lead core and forms six additional segments at a controlled rate resulting in a mushroom that is 1.5 times larger than the original bullet diameter.
The heavy outer jacket is mechanically bonded to the inner bullet. The inner bullet utilizes a proprietary bonding process which welds the lead core to a second jacket which results in a design that provides for a combination of knockdown power, solid penetration and significant tissue damage while retaining nearly 100% of the original weight. The Supreme Elite Dual Bond offers a large hollow point cavity, which provides consistent upsets at a variety of ranges and impact velocities. Combined, this patented technology results in lethal energy transfer on impact

Glitch forces Chicago Marathon to suspend registration until at least 5 p.m. Thursday
BY BECKY SCHLIKERMAN Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com February 19, 2013 1:40PM
Updated: March 21, 2013 6:31AM
Registration for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon is suspended at least until 5 p.m. Thursday because of technical problems, but thousands of spots remain, organizers said in a statement.
A glitch with the race's registration website thwarted some runners who tried to sign up Tuesday, the opening day for registration.
Some saw an error message; others reported duplicate registration and charges.
"We are incredibly sorry that runners interested in signing up for the 2013 Bank of America Chicago Marathon experienced such difficulties today," race director Carey Pinkowski said in a statement. "We have been working nonstop with our registration provider to find the root of the problem and a solution."
Race organizers said many runners were able to sign up for the race despite the technical problems. And there are still 15,000 spots remaining; 45,000 runners are expected to participate.
Organizers said they plan to provide an update by 5 p.m. Thursday.
"Before we re-open registration, we need to make sure all technical issues are permanently resolved. We will provide ample notice regarding when the registration process will re-open," according to the statement.
People who were charged multiple times will receive refunds, race organizer said.
Registration for the marathon was suspended Tuesday afternoon, hours after runners began signing up.
ACTIVE Network, which runs the registration website, apologized in a statement and urged all who signed up to confirm their registration on active.com.
The Chicago Marathon uses open registration and has been filling more quickly in recent years. The field of 45,000 filled in 51 days in 2010; 31 days in 2011, and six days last year.
But Tuesday's glitch could imperil the status of the Chicago Marathon as the rare major marathon with open entry.
"Each year, we look at all facets of the event,''Pinkowski said Tuesday. "One of the things we will look at is open entry. One of the things we are known for is open registration.''
The Chicago Sun-Times is a media partner of the event.

Ummmm…yeah. So when I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that our Nashville gossips had observed that she'd had some new work put in, you all were like – nah…she looks the same! Really? Because this is Nicole Kidman's face at the Grammy's. The same? Sure. If by the same you mean she had her forehead refrozen, her eyebrows pulled back, something injected into her cheeks, and that third lip reattached… Is this what you meant by the same? Look at it! It was born 2 weeks ago! It's younger than Sunday Rose! Anyway, Gran made a big show of loving up her husband in the crowd last night. Full Story
More Golddigger Bitch Slaps
For those of you too busy or lazy to read through the entire judgment… more gems from the judge's written decision on the McCartney Mills divorce. More incriminating details about Heather's character, or lack thereof. Greedy, lying, conniving c-bomb. Thanks again C! You will note – for all her pontificating about her charity work… turns out she can't produce any receipts. Full Story
Golddigger Slap in the Face
Is there any wonder why Heather Mills is universally despised? Heather Mills threw water on Fiona Shackleton in court yesterday. Shackleton is Paul McCartney's divorce attorney. WATER. She threw water. In court. And she finds it hard to believe she's hard to believe??? Still…it was Shackleton and of course Sir Paul who had the last laugh. Full Story
Golddigger Pay Day
Well…she got paid, Heather Mills did. But significantly less than what she's been angling for. "Only" £25 million, roughly US$50 million which is major cash for people like us… but really not so much for people who live the luxe life. And for someone who was originally asking for over £100, it's obviously not exactly an ideal settlement – on her terms. Full Story
One Legged When Convenient
When she's playing the victim, Golddigger Heather Mills always pulls out her one leg and starts crying. Last week she accused Sir Paul and Stella of calling her a one legged bitch during secret taped phone conversations. But here's the question – and stop reading now if you huff and puff easily as I'm about to offend you: In this case, in the case of Heather Mills, is the term "one legged" really an insult…or is simply an attribute? Example – Paris Hilton is a blonde twat. Full Story
Heather Fired!
Love it. Heather Mills's legal team has fired the golddigging slag because they can no longer keep up with her unpredictable mood swings and her refusal to heed their counsel. Word is, her attorneys had pleaded with her NOT to go on television spewing lies about Paul McCartney, warning that the effort would not only backfire but that it would be detrimental to her side of the divorce proceedings. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
When did it become OK to go "ho" for Halloween? What once was "scary" has now become "skanky" with Ebola and Chicken Fried leading the way. All class.
And then there's Heather Mills. Just a day after her media blitz, during which she again proclaimed victim status and likened herself to Princess Diana, comes word that she's in possession of an audio tape that proves Sir Paul abused his first wife Linda.
Stella McCartney is going to lose her sh-t.
The existence of the alleged tape was leaked several months ago – just one in a series of leaks coming out of Heather's court filings, miraculously landing in the hands of the British press. Conveniently enough, "unnamed witnesses" claim that Heather played the tape (recorded secretly mid-argument with her ex husband) yesterday when the cameras weren't rolling during one of her interviews…
In other words, she was at a tv or radio station, with dozens of journalists present, and she played a tape incriminating Paul as a wife beater, and somehow only "unnamed witnesses" were present for the hearing?
Every reporter lives for the big get, the big story, the big kill. And yet none of them seized the chance to break this sh-t open? Because British journalists don't love scandal?
And how about the hypocrisy? Phil Hall was former editor of a tabloid called News of the World – you may have heard of it? One of the tabloids at which she raged yesterday for slandering her name? How conveniently hypocritical.
The thing is, that slag is so crazy not even a former tabloid editor will work with her now. Mr Hall resigned from her team over Heather's decision to go postal on television explaining "We are still mates but I am not working with her any more. Yesterday she said she wanted to do this TV campaign attacking newspapers, but I have a good relationship with newspapers and my business depends on feeding that good relationship. She wanted me to orchestrate this campaign and make calls to newspapers but I have got friends and mates in national newspapers and it didn"t seem right to make those calls and attack them".
So Heather Mills was repped by a dude whose job it was to "feed good relationships" to the papers…coincidence or conspiracy?
Bitch… please!
Thursday, blogging all day, check back often for fresh smut…and a cute couple goes trick or treating. Details coming up.
Yours in gossip,
PS. To Kim – 40 is the new 30. Happy Birthday and let'er rip in Miami!
PPS. Quick programming note: there will be no column tomorrow (Friday November 2nd). As a reporter for eTalk, I have only once begged for an assignment – to cover the Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix junket in June. I begged again and again it was for Harry – am off to London for the Harry Potter 5 DVD junket (it comes out in December) and will be interviewing the kids ON THE SET of the sixth movie! Flying out late tonight Vancouver time, will not arrive til afternoon Friday in London. As such, won't have a chance to post. However, a full report is coming Monday. Sorry for the inconvenience… Only Harry Potter could take me away from gossip. Please forgive? Thank you, love you, owe you…
Golddigger TV
"They"ve called me a whore, a gold digger, a fantasist, a liar, the most unbelievably hurtful things, and I"ve stayed quiet for my daughter." Ummmm…really? Does a tearful appearance on GMTV constitute as quiet? And how about the legal leaks? How did details of her baseless allegations against Paul McCartney manage to make their way into the papers? And still Heather Mills is complaining that she's been vilified and nearly destroyed by the press, even while she uses the press to achieve her objective. Full Story
In Your Dreams, Bitch
Golddigging makes you delusional – see Kevin Federline's recording career. This time, the Golddigging Delusions have hit the Master. And hard. Still at an impasse with Sir Paul on their divorce settlement, Heather Mills is now in America apparently negotiating a Hollywood film about her life. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Word is Heather Mills has given Paul McCartney a £50 million ultimatum: pay me a £50 lump sum upfront with instalments of £3 million per year and I'll shut up. Otherwise, I will unleash my Golddigging Mastery all over your ass in court and continue to the spread the lies.
See? It was never about telling the "truth" and talking about her "remarkable life". It was about extorting him for as much as possible and using the child in between them to force him to concede. The child and her bum leg.
Of course this is a woman who is insisting on showing up for their settlement meetings with a crutch in plain view…even though a few short months ago she was gamely twirling around on a dance floor on American television.
Heather Mills is a treacherous, manipulative genius. For that she should be recognised.
Thursday – am posting all day… check back often.
Yours in gossip,
PS. Ken Paves is not leaking secrets.
My Gwyneth Surrounded by Hotness
Gwyneth showed up last night at the Established & Sons event in London to support Alasdhair Willis, husband of Stella. As you can see, my girl is tight with the McCartneys. As you can also see, she's clearly not in Spain shooting her reality tv food show. Per my report last week, the shooting schedule will NOT be long… though it's not Chris she can't stay away from, it's her children. Full Story

State trooper remembered for 'gentle, fun-loving spirit'
BY CASEY TONER firstname.lastname@example.com April 2, 2013 10:40AM
Article Extras
Updated: May 4, 2013 6:21AM
Illinois State Police Director Hiram Grau remembered fallen Trooper James Sauter during Tuesday's funeral service as a man who had a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
"His gentle and fun-loving spirit will always be with us," Grau said. "Trooper Jim Sauter, your watch has ended."
Grau was one of many family, friends, well-wishers and emergency responders who packed Moraine Valley Baptist Church in Palos Heights for Sauter's funeral. His casket was draped in an American flag, and the Illinois state flag and an Illinois State Police flag stood nearby.
Sauter, 28, died Thursday after a semi truck hit his police cruiser on the Tri-State Tollway in Northbrook. He was a Chicago Ridge native and a graduate of Richards High School in Oak Lawn.
Sauter, who is survived by his wife, Elizabeth, and other family, had been a trooper for nearly five years. Thousands of police and other first responders showed up at the funeral, packing the church parking lot as well as nearby residential streets and parking lots of adjacent businesses.
An Illinois State Police spokeswoman said troopers from more than 25 states attended the funeral.
Matt Sauter, James' younger brother and a student at Richards High School, opted out of a tie and wore a Superman shirt in honor of his brother, a longtime fan of the superhero. He also had all of the state troopers, dressed in their formal green suitcoats, stand so he could thank them.
He remembered James being there to set him straight if he was acting like a bad son or brother.
"He always tried being my second father," Matt said. "I'm blessed with a gift many don't have. A gift of a big brother."
Choking up, Matt said his brother was still in his heart and always will be.
"I'll do everything as long as possible to be like he was," Matt said.
The service was alternately solemn and lighthearted. Sauter's aunt, Patti Duffin, remembered how she once put James, the eldest of his cousins, in charge of the other children for a round of trick or treating.
Since the children were young, she made James promise to only hit up six houses on the block. But to get more candy, James had all the kids switch up costumes and hit up the same houses more than once.
"He must have had a feminine side, because he took the outfit of Wonder Woman," Duffin said, drawing laughs from the crowd.
Tony Ferraro, Sauter's brother-in-law, talked about the love Sauter had for his wife. He remembered watching a music video of Sauter singing the Ace of Base hit single "The Sign" to her from his squad car.
"We laughed at how he would sing and dance like a madman," Ferraro said.
He also noted similarities between Sauter and Superman, starting with their height and muscles.
"Though he may not have been able to leap over buildings in a single bound, I like to think that in death he flew out of that squad car on angels' wings and into heaven," he said.
Pastor Scott Bradley, who officiated at Sauter's wedding in 2010 and served as his youth minister, quipped that as a teenager, Sauter both inspired him as a pastor and caused him to lose hair and go gray.
He said that after Sauter was hospitalized for a previous accident that occurred while on patrol, Sauter admitted he was worried he would die without having done enough for other people.
"I am a living testimony that James Sauter's life meant something," Bradley said, "that he lived with purpose and made a difference in the lives of others."
Near the end of his eulogy, Bradley turned to Sauter's casket and said goodbye.
"You have fought the good fight," Bradley said. "You have finished the race. I love you, and I will see you soon."
Grau spoke last. He opened his remarks by mentioning the death of Illinois State Trooper Kyle Deatherage, who was killed five months ago when a semi truck hit him.
Grau called Sauter a "peaceful warrior" with a kind heart and a great soul. He talked about the award Sauter received while still a cadet for saving the life of a woman who had fallen off a motorcycle.
"As we remember the service of James Sauter, we remember that service comes with great sacrifice," Grau said.
After the funeral ceremony, the Bagpipes and Drums of the Emerald Society Chicago Police Department played "Amazing Grace" outside as troopers led Sauter's casket led out of church.
In the church parking lot, hundreds of police stood shoulder to shoulder and formed 15 rows, saluting Sauter's casket. They stood next to Sauter's family, who were sitting in seats facing the church entrance.
A helicopter and a private plane did flyovers in honor of Sauter, a licensed pilot who flew planes for the Illinois State Police and graduated with an aviation degree from Lewis University.
After a 21-gun salute and a rendition of taps by a state trooper trumpeter, the color guard removed, folded and presented the American flag from Sauter's coffin to his widow.
Before Sauter's coffin was loaded back into the hearse, a state trooper opened the door of a state police sport utility vehicle that was parked near the church.
A voice rang through the sport utility vehicle's police radio, calling for all units to take a moment of silence in honor of the fallen trooper.
"Trooper James Sauter, this is your final 10-42 call," the voice said, referencing the radio code police use when signing off for duty. "Thank you for your service. May you rest in peace."

- 100% viscose

Open Back High Low Dress
Fabulous dress
This dress fits perfectly true to size and is incredibly comfortable. I got so many compliments from random people on how cute it is. A great summer dress that can be dressed up or down easily. I highly recommend it for everyone's summer wardrobe.
July 1, 2013
Pro: It's really hard to decide which color to get as they are both very beautiful and compliment any and every skin tone. Fits pretty well.
Con: A bit pricey considering how light the material is. It's also very see-thru.
June 29, 2013
Beautiful !!!
Love it !! I got it on both colors...I am usually small , but in this case I got them in xs....beautiful colors.....great for the summer !!!
June 29, 2013
I really like this dress; I love the sexy cutouts in the back, and the fun, flirty, flowy skirt. I purchased in a Small in the Nautical Blue color; when I tried it on in store and showed it to the salespeople; they agreed with me that the color definitely suits my caramel-colored skin! I also like that, even with the cutouts, I can still wear a bra for front support. The only thing I don't like is the back hem; like other hi-lo hems, it runs long. I'm debating on getting it hemmed, but otherwise this is a very beautiful dress. I'm not sure what shoes or accessories to wear with it though, but I'll figure it out!
June 19, 2013
Sexy, Casual, Chic
Absolutely love this dress! The peek-a-boo back offers the perfect tease. The bright colors are perfect for the summer, and the dress is made of a light, stretchy material that is perfect for warm weather. The dress runs on the large side, so if you are between sizes, I would order a size down. Definitely emphasizes the bust and back, and the high-low is very sexy.
Pairs perfectly with crisp, white stilettos or metallic accessories. Great classic wardrobe staple - I would definitely recommend!

Our pick of the best Compact System Cameras (CSCs) currently on the market
Best Compact System Cameras of 2013
The Compact System Camera – or CSC – has been around since Panasonic kick-started the genre with its launch of the G1 in 2008. Since then the CSC market has grown to become the fastest growing of all the digital camera markets.
The market has grown to such an extent that it's now one of the most camera-laden in all of photography, thus making it difficult to separate the good from the truly special.
To help you out, we've taken a look at what's out there and come up with our Best Compact System Cameras of 2013 thus far.
Samsung NX300
Street price: £599 w/ kit lens
The Samsung NX300 is the flagship model in Samsung's 'NX' range of Compact System Cameras and follows on from the popular Samsung NX210. The NX300 builds upon the impressive specification and performance of its predecessor with a few operational tweaks, making it a really impressive proposition.
The model features an APS-C sensor, fast burst rate, impressive AF performance and tiltable AMOLED touchscreen. Add to that Samsung's clever 'i-function' technology, Wi-fi and NFC functionality and HD video capture and there's very little that this impressive model is lacking.
Best CSC for: Those looking for a feature-packed specification

Olympus PEN E-PL5
Street price: £500 w/ kit lens
Olympus's 'PEN' range of CSCs has been in existence almost as long as the format itself. It's long been popular thanks to the combination of impressive image quality and stylish design, and the Olympus PEN E-PL5 very much continues this tradition with eye-catching styling and an imaging specification to match.
The EPL-5 places a premium on size and, with a pancake lens attached, could almost be described as pocketable. It still features a large sensor, tiltable OLED screen and a host of other features that have made their way down the food chain from its high-end stablemates.
Best CSC for: Impressive results in a compact body

Fujifilm X-E1
Street price: £650 body only
Fujifilm has made great shakes in the CSC market with its X range, combining advanced features with a timeless retro-styled design and a premium on image quality. The X-E1 is a model that more than meets this X-series reputation and is well worthy of the tag of being one of the best CSCs available today.
The model features rangefinder-inspired design that's sure to appeal to traditionalists, while a new sensor also debuted with the camera inheriting the impressive chip found in the high-end X-Pro1. The X-E1 also features an impressive 2.36m-dot OLED viewfinder that's about as good as it gets in a CSC.

Panasonic Lumix G6
Street price: £629 w/ kit lens
Panasonic shook up the camera market when it announced the very first CSC in 2008 – the Panasonic Lumix G1. The Lumix G6 is a continuation of this thread of Panasonic's CSC range, and it benefits from the manufacturer's years of experience in the market.
The G6 is a bit like a DSLR-lite in design, featuring a protruding handgrip and large viewfinder, albeit in a much smaller body. The camera features a beefy specification, with a 16MP Live MOS sensor, 7fps burst mode and Panasonic Light Speed AF system. As well as featuring Wi-fi and NFC, the G6 delivers a wide range of HD video recording options, including AVCHD and MP4 formats at a range of frame rates.

The Sony NEX-6 falls more into the latter of those categories, boasting a large APS-C sensor and a host of advanced features.
Alongside said imaging functionality sits Wi-fi connectivity, a large tiltable LCD screen an ample electronic viewfinder complete with a 2.4-million dot resolution. The NEX-6 backs up the specification with some serious performance, including a 10fps continuous shooting speed and full HD video capture.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/KENYA/SOMALIA/CT/AFRICA - Analysts sceptical of US claims, say it is providing intelligence support

Independent analysts in the United States tend to accept the Obama
administration's claim that it did not push Kenya into launching military
action in southern Somalia.
But some of those same analysts say it is likely that the US is now
providing Kenyan forces with intelligence assistance in hopes of
inflicting a fatal blow on their mutual enemy: the Al Shabaab insurgency.
American officials speaking on condition of remaining anonymous told
reporters late last week that the US was not notified in advance of
Kenya's move into Somalia.
The State Department and Pentagon have not publicly criticised the
operation, however, and are refusing to comment on whether the US is now
giving Kenya reconnaissance information on Al Shabaab's tactical response.
However, according to one of the documents released by the whistleblower
website, Wikileaks, dated 2009, US has been helping Kenya secure its
"We are providing assistance to Kenya's army to help them better react to
major security incidents along the porous Kenya-Somali border and we are
initiating a program to help the Administration Police and Wildlife
Service to provide the first line of security along the border according
to their mandate," former US ambassador to Kenya Michael Ranneberger was
quoted as saying.
The document further stated that US was also providing support to the Navy
and the Maritime Police Unit to better police Kenya's territorial waters.
Kenya military spokesperson Emmanuel Chirchir, denied reports that America
was offering Kenya logistical support, saying the country had the capacity
to fight the militants.
"Reports that America is giving us logistical support are erroneous. We
only exchange intelligence information with America, and we have been
doing it for long," said Major Chirchir.
The United Nations has also been silent on Kenya's move into Somalia. A UN
spokesman says Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has "nothing to say" on this
An expert on the Horn who works in one branch of the US government told
the EastAfrican that the US is almost certainly supplying the Kenyan
military with intelligence gathered from American drones flying in
southern Somalia.
But this analyst and others suggest that the US may simultaneously fear
that Kenya's action will backfire and leave the country even more
vulnerable to Al Shabaab attacks. Al Shabaab may be weakened, they say,
but it is not defeated and it does retain the ability to launch punishing
operations against Kenyan civilians as well as soldiers.
Bronwyn Bruton, a Somalia expert at the Atlantic Council think tank in
Washington, points out that US diplomats had expressed opposition to
Kenya's plan to establish a buffer zone in a part of Somalia that the
Kenyans refer to as Jubaland. American resistance to that scheme is
detailed in secret diplomatic cables published recently by WikiLeaks.
Peter Pham, another Africa specialist at the same think tank, says he
doubts the US "greenlighted" Kenya's incursion. The Obama administration
has been grappling with a full array of international crises, Pham notes,
and probably saw little to be gained - and potentially much to be lost -
by opening another front in the battle against an already weakened
Other Somalia watchers with military experience point out, however, that
Kenya's operation must have been in the planning stages for at least a few
months. And that makes it difficult for these analysts to accept the
Americans' claims that they were blindsided by such a radical departure
from Kenya's generally cautious policies in the Horn.
The US government expert who did not want to be identified emphasises that
"Kenya is perfectly capable of acting on its own."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Nevilla Pup!
Facts about Nevilla Pup
- Breed: Golden Retriever Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Nevilla Pup's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Some really nice people found me and my brothers and sisters underneath a barn, scared and cold. But, now I am having a blast, getting into mischief with my brother Malfoy. (They keep referring to us as the "Harry Potter Pups". I am about 8 weeks old, golden retriever mix. I am healthy, bouncy and all things puppy. I am staying at a foster home with other canine friends and 2-legged friends!My family needs to have another dog in the house to show me the ropes and my mom or dad needs to be either a work at home or stay at home person so I can continue my training.
if interested in Nevilla, visit our website at .http://www.adoptagoldenknoxville.org/new_england.html
NOTE: Adopt A Golden Knoxville rescue doesn't have an actual shelter building in your area. These dogs are fostered in private homes in East Tennessee. Therefore, it is not possible to meet the dogs and pups prior to their adoption. They are brought up north on a USDA transporter.
Other Pets at Adopt A Golden Knoxville - Brattleboro, VT
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Nevilla Pup, a Brattleboro Golden Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Golden Retriever for sale in Brattleboro, or seeking a Golden Retriever puppy from a breeder in Brattleboro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brattleboro already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brattleboro breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Golden Retriever breeders who help with Golden Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brattleboro paves the way for another one to be saved.

Game Preview – Game 15: Your New Jersey Devils @ Alex Ovechkin
New Jersey Devils (7-6-1, 15 points) @ Washington Capitals (10-4-0, 20 points)
TV: MSG Plus, NHL Network-US (subject to local blackouts)
Radio: WFAN 660 AM
Tonight is the second of a home-and-home series between the two clubs. Last night the Capitals beat the Devils 3-1 at Prudential Center. This will be the second of four meetings between the two teams.
Happy Birthday Adam Larsson:
Today, the Devils' first round draft pick celebrates his 19th birthday.
Last night, Larsson got an early birthday gift as he scored his first career NHL goal to give the Devils a 1-0 lead in the first period. The Devils looked to have the momentum as they were pouring on great scoring chances and pressure.
However, the game slipped away as the Capitals tied it late in the second period and scored two goals in the third to give them the 3-1 win.
Devils Strong PK:
In their first eight home games of the year, the New Jersey Devils have not allowed a single powerplay goal. The team has been down a man 30 times while playing at Prudential Center.
Meanwhile on the road, the Devils are 18-22 (81.8%) on the PK.
Overall the Devils are second in the league with a 92.3% PK.
Against the Capitals:
All-time the Devils are 67-76-8-1 against the Capitals, and are 27-45-4-0 when playing in Washington.
Patrik Elias has the most points as a Devil, as an active player, against the Capitals with 46 points (18 goals, 28 assists) in 49 games played.
Kirk Muller has the most points of any Devil player against the Capitals with 51 points (20 goals, 31 assists).
Johan Hedberg is 7-4-2 in his career against the Capitals with one shutout and a 2.85 GAA.
Projected Devils Lineup:
Parise – Henrique – Palmieri
Sykora – Elias – Zubrus
Tedenby – Carter – Clarkson
Zharkov – Mills – Janssen
Greene – Larsson
Tallinder – Fayne
Volchenkov – Salvador
Boudreau Close to Milestone:
After last night's win against the Devils, Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau is sitting at 199 career wins. His current coaching record is 199-83-39. With an impressive record like that, Boudreau has a .681 career points percentage which is tied for the best in NHL history for a coach with at least 250 games of experience.
Capitals Detour on Highway to Hell:
The Washington Capitals are 5-1-0 in their last six games against the Devils. The one loss came from a 5-0 Devils win last season. Despite that 5-0 win for the Devils, the Capitals have outscored the Devils 21-10 in that span. The Capitals believe they have the Devils' number as they have collected the most wins and points over the Devils than any other franchise.
Projected Capitals Lineup:
Ovechkin – Johansson – Brouwer
Laich – Backstrom – Semin
Chimera – Eakin – Ward
Hendricks – Halpern – Knuble
Erskine – Wideman
Hamrlik – Carlson
Alzner – Schultz
