President talks about the importance of volunteerism while working alongside Habitat AmeriCorps members
ATLANTA (Sept. 11, 2009) – U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama volunteered on a Habitat for Humanity build site in Washington D.C. on Friday as part of the inaugural 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance.
After touring the Habitat build site, President and Mrs. Obama worked alongside Habitat for Humanity AmeriCorps members and Habitat of Washington, D.C. staff to paint the living room of a Habitat home in the Deanwood neighborhood.
"We are honored that President and Mrs. Obama spent part of the National Day of Service and Remembrance working with Habitat for Humanity," said Kent Adcock, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C.

September 11 was officially recognized as the National Day of Service and Remembrance as part of the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. The mission of the day is to honor the victims and those who rose to service in response to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, by encouraging all Americans and others throughout the world to perform at least one good deed on September 11 each year.

text: MARIETTAAs the county seat of Love County, Marietta is situated at the intersection of State Highway 32 and Interstate 35, fifteen miles north of the Red River, and 114 miles south of Oklahoma City. Although Marietta was incorporated on June 2, 1898, with a population of approximately 550, settlement began years before. In the 1700s the Red River served as a travel route for French and Spanish explorers and traders. Small villages sprang up along its winding path, and a Spanish fort was located in the southwestern corner of present-day Love County. In the 1830s Abel Warren and Holland Coffee established trading post along Walnut Bayou. The rich fertile land allowed the farmers to grow various crops and the abundance of open range served large cattle ranches. William "Bill" Washington had the largest in Pickens County, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory. The Bill Washington Ranch House was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NR 71000667) in 1971. His brother Jerry Washington, who lived approximately one mile north of present-day Marietta, became Marietta's first postmaster when the post office was opened on December 20, 1887. One of the most popular stories is that Marietta was named after Jerry Washington's wife Marie Etta. From the original 500 to 600 individuals listed in the petition for incorporation, Marietta grew to 1,391 in 1907. By 1908 the town supported twenty-four retail stores, three banks, and three churches. The Love County courthouse, built on Main Street in 1910, was the first courthouse built after Oklahoma statehood in 1907. In 1910 the population had grown to 1,546 and then increased to 1,977 in 1920. In the 1930s the numbers dropped to 1,505 but grew from the 1940s to 2000 when the population reached 2,445. In 1930 Marietta had a cold storage plant, a hatchery, a bottling plant, and three lumber yards. A sawmill, a broom factory, a canning plant, and seven cotton gins operated at that time. The town also had at least five businesses such as garages and motor companies relating to the automobile business. In the 1940s Marietta had six churches, each representing a different denomination, and three school buildings that included a gymnasium, a combination elementary and highschool, and a separate school for African Americans. The coming of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway (later the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway) brought about economic stimulus for the future town of Marietta, Indian Territory. The first track of the Santa Fe line through Pickens County was laid in the early 1887, and the first train ran July 28, 1887. With rail transportation local crops made their way to outside markets. With twenty-seven thousand bales shipped out in 1912 cotton was a major crop. Even during the drought of 1911 seventeen thousand cotton bales were shipped by rail. By the 1940s in addition to the railroad and U.S. Highway 77 and State Highways 32 and 199, the community was served by two bus lines, the Dixie Bus Line and the Greyhound Bus Line. Like most small towns in Oklahoma the downtown area suffered with the coming of the Interstate 35 at the edge of town. At the turn of the twenty-first century several downtown buildings were empty. The main employers in the Marietta area were the Marietta Bakery that employed about 400 workers and the Siemens Dematic who employed sixty-five workers. In January 2004 the county was thrown into shock with the sudden bankruptcy of the Marietta Bakery. With that closing the town was financially hurt because employees were not paid for the last week of work and the last pay checks bounced throwing more hardship on the companies that had cashed them. Two weeks later the Siemens Dematic closed. However, several months later Siemens Dematic was purchased by the Chickasaw Nation and reopened bringing back many of the former employees. The bakery was bought at auction and reopened with a skeleton crew. Although the WinStar Casino is located fourteen miles south of Marietta on Interstate 35 at the Thackerville exit, it is Love County's largest employer. Around the turn of the twenty-first century it employed about 1,500 workers, many driving from Marietta. In 2005 it was announced that the Chicksaw Nation had plans to spend $153 million to convert the WinStar Casino into a Las Vegas-style venue. This plan should increase the number of jobs and tourist trade in the Marietta area. Just northeast of Marietta is Lake Murray State Park, and Lake Texhoma is located east of town. Falconhead Resort located eleven miles west has an 18-hole championship golf course that has been utilized by Jack Nicklaus, Chi Chi Rodriquez, and other professional golfers. The Chickasaw Nation's WinStar Casino is located fourteen miles south. Items from the Revolutionary War to the present, family military history, and area law enforcement exhibits are located in a two-story, 1910 jailhouse which houses the Love County Military Museum. It is located on the southwest corner of the courthouse lawn, just behind the modern Love County jail. Across the street from the jail is the new Love County Pioneer Museum building. The weekly Marietta Monitor has served the community since territorial days.

Economic growth across Europe is slowly picking up, which is good news. But the recovery is still modest and measures to boost economic growth and create jobs are important.
Western Europe: picking up the pace
The recovery projected last October for the euro area has solidified. This is reflected in our revised forecasts—e.g., the 2014 forecast for the euro area is up from 1 percent last October to 1.2 percent now, with important upgrades in countries like Spain. These revisions reflect the stronger data flow on the back of past policy actions, the revival of investor confidence, and the waning drag from fiscal consolidation. The positive impact on program countries is palpable—improving economies, lower spreads, and evidence of market access. We've also seen a welcome pick-up in growth in the UK (almost 3 percent is expected for 2014).

'The Spectacular Now' Director James Ponsoldt Respects Teen Emotions
Features By Jack Giroux on August 3, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThe protagonist of director James Pondsoldt's new film is an alcoholic. The other characters in The Spectacular Now may not point that out, but why would they? Nobody in high school thinks of any teenaged partier as an alcoholic, and Pondsoldt sets the film directly from that perspective. More so than with his previous film, Smashed, with The Spectacular Now Pondsoldt deals with a destructive main character. The protagonist in Smashed (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead) wasn't actually hurting anyone besides herself. We see the opposite in The Spectacular Now. This isn't a coming-of-age movie where the nerdy kid comes out of his shell because some hip girl takes an interest in him. It's one where he maybe breaks out of that shell a little too late while hurting others in the process. Keep reading to see what director James Pondsoldt had to say about crafting an authentic high school experience for Sutter Keely (Miles Teller) and his audience.
Screenwriter Susan Burke Diffuses 'Smashed' of Any Indie Quirk
Features By Jack Giroux on April 12, 2013 | Comments (1)Last year, audiences couldn't find two more distinct movies dealing with alcoholism than Flight and Smashed. While Robert Zemeckis's film dealt with an all-out reckless drunk, big dramatic plot points, and John Goodman, director James Ponsoldt's Smashed approaches the matter with a more character-driven and religion-less narrative, with the assistance of the film's co-writer, Susan Burke. Burke, who also works as standup comedian, didn't want the lead character in Smashed, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, to suffer simply because she's an alcoholic. It isn't a movie that punishes its characters or says with a million exclamation points, "Drinking is bad." Smashed isn't grim in the way we generally associate movies featuring alcoholism, but a dramedy that isn't built around misery porn and, as Burke says, indie quirks. Screenwriter Susan Burke made the time recently to discuss with us the advantages writing a film over standup can have, avoiding dire plot points, and more:
The Late One Where I Stand Alone on 'This Must Be the Place' and Also Talk 'Life of Pi,' 'Smashed' and 'The Taint'
Features By Rob Hunter on March 16, 2013 | Comments (5)Welcome back to This Week In Discs! Sure it's a few days late, but it's still technically the same week… As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. This Must Be the Place Cheyenne (Sean Penn) was a rock star many years ago, but these days he lives a quiet life in a big house with a wife (Frances McDormand), two dogs and an empty swimming pool. He's a bit slow in his mobility and speech, and his appearance is still modeled on The Cure's Robert Smith. When his father falls ill Cheyenne heads to NYC to reconcile with the old man, but instead he finds himself on a quest for revenge against a Nazi. Obviously. Paolo Sorrentino's film is more than a little odd. Between Penn's performance and the script's insistence on couching a traditional narrative in strange, character-filled trappings it's guaranteed to turn off many viewers, and I really wouldn't blame them walking away. But I found the story's take on the need for (and power of) forgiveness a compelling reason to watch, and Penn's performance may have taken a bit to grow on me but it eventually added to the film's charm. It's damn funny at times and lands an emotionally satisfying ending too, but be warned… most of you will apparently hate it. It's the new I Melt With You in that regard. [Blu-ray extras: None]
Getting Drunk On the Intoxicating Soundtrack of 'Smashed'
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on October 11, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhen one thinks of a party mix songs by artists like Bart Davenport, Cass McCombs, and Sonny & The Sunsets are not usually what come to mind, but then again, Smashed is not a film that simply shows you how much fun you can have while under the influence – it is an honest (and sometimes honestly hard to watch) look at what it means to live your life in a haze and what happens after you make the decision to come out of it. As I said in my review of the film, Smashed focuses on the life of Kate, played with brutal honesty by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Kate is not a Ke$ha style party girl, but she is a girl who likes to have a good time and can be spotted indulging in some "hair of the dog" before heading off to work (as a school teacher, mind you.) This slow, unassuming, almost innocent look at Kate's life is reflected in the film's soundtrack which is filled with more mellow artists (like those mentioned above) and composed pieces from Andy Cabic and Eric D. Johnson.
Review: 'Smashed' Delivers Honesty and a Stunning Performance from Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Movie Reviews By Allison Loring on October 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentEditor's note: With Smashed hitting limited release this week, please delicately sip (or chug down, your preference) our Sundance review of the film, first published on January 24, 2012. Kate (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) seems to lead a charmed life – she has a loving husband, friends, and a job teaching first grade that she is passionate about. But the one thing that is always present in Kate's life is alcohol. She and her husband, Charlie (Aaron Paul), spend every night getting (wait for it) smashed on beer, liquor, really just whatever alcohol is available. The drinking (while excessive) appears to be just a harmless part of their lifestyle, but when Kate shows up hungover to work (and throws up in front of her class), one of her students asks if she is pregnant and Kate confirms the lie, figuring it is a better excuse than the truth.
This September wasn't a bad way to get out of a summer slump. If any of you were disappointed by this past summer's films, last month should have picked up your spirits. You were either in awe or disappointment over Paul Thomas Anderon's The Master, but whatever camp you fall into, at least you more than likely had thoughts about it. Rian Johnson's Looper completely lived up to the hype, wonky time travel logic and all. And we got Dredd 3D and End of Watch, two B-movies which exceeded expectations. Not a bad way to start a new season. There are plenty of offerings for every taste this October including one with a bug-eyed, jacked up, and horrifying Matthew Fox who apparently will be taken down by Tyler Perry. Keep reading for a glimpse at seven other movies you should run and skip to the theaters for.
TIFF 2012 Review: Regardless of Great Performances, 'Smashed' Doesn't Go Deep Enough
Movie Reviews By Andrew Robinson on September 13, 2012 | Comments (2)Smashed takes a look at alcoholism through the eyes of a married couple, Kate (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Charlie (Aaron Paul), who should so happen to both be alcoholics. Their relationship is completely based on their shared love of a bottle of beer, wine, whiskey, tequila, and such other recipes for liver disease. After an incident at her job (elementary school teacher, oops), Kate decides to try getting sober, which proves to not only be a massive personal undertaking, but one that puts a huge strain on her marriage. Smashed quickly proves that Kate's alcoholism, while not good for her, is exactly what makes her relationship with Charlie seem great. Before we reach the point where it's clearly more than a just little problem and the audience is ready to call for their own intervention, the scenes of Paul and Winstead together on screen (while obviously self-destructive) are fantastic to watch. We see the couple doing such mundane things as playing croquet and riding their bikes, but these scenes are so beautiful that we really get a sense of their connection.
'Smashed' Trailer: Getting Drunk on Mary Elizabeth Winstead's Best Performance Yet
Movie News By Kate Erbland on September 11, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWe underestimated Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Sure, the actress has turned in a number of charming performances over the years (including roles in the criminally underrated Sky High, the generally forgettable Final Destination 3, and her calling card role in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), but her work in Sundance favorite Smashed is so brutally accomplished and so worthy of praise that it's more than a bit stunning. In the film, Winstead plays one-half of an alcoholic couple (her husband is played by Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul) who realize that their lives are no longer sustainable and they must make a change. It sounds like heavy stuff, and it is, but the film is also lively, funny, and honest. It's solid work, and Winstead is the best thing about it. In her Sundance review of the film, our own Allison Loring singled out Winstead's performance as the marquee attraction of the film, calling it "stunningly honest" and one that "keeps you engaged and caring about Kate (even in her darkest moments) from beginning to end." While this first trailer might edge more to the light side of things, make no mistake, Smashed hits hard. Take a sip and check it out after the break.
'The Descendants' Star Shailene Woodley Will Try to Tame a Bad Boy in 'The Spectacular Now'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on April 18, 2012 | Be the First To CommentGeorge Clooney may have earned a Best Actor nomination for his work in last year's The Descendants, but the truly eye-opening performance in that film came not from the king of Hollywood, but from the little known actress playing his teenage daughter. Simply put, Shailene Woodley was the bee's knees in that film. Her work fleshed out a role that would have played like a cliché of teenage rebellion in most other hands, and she's going to have quite a few opportunities coming her way in the upcoming year. It's newsworthy, then, that Variety has word on what her next job is going to be. According to the trade, the actress is attached to star in Smashed (which was reviewed by Allison Loring here) director James Ponsoldt's next film, which is an adaptation of the Tim Tharp novel "The Spectacular Now."
Experience Sundance 2012: The Wall, Fried Chicken, and Goodbyes
Film Festivals By Kate Erbland on January 28, 2012 | Be the First To CommentNo matter how much fun a festival is, there inevitably comes a time when a festival-goer reaches a wall, a point where exhaustion and stress and bad food and frustrations all settle in and refuse to budge. I met my wall this morning, my alarm blaring away at 7:15AM as I lay slack-jawed and stunned in bed. Morning. More. More things. I did the only thing I could do. I got up.
Sundance 2012: Allison's 10 Most Anticipated Films
Film Festivals By Allison Loring on January 18, 2012 | Comments (2)As I touched on in my roundup of the must-see films set to screen during this year's Sundance Film Festival, there are many titles to choose from, but in looking over the ten films I am most looking forward to seeing I realized my interest is centered around character driven narratives (both funny and dramatic) and documentaries with their roots in music (no surprise there.) Of course with a full week at the festival, I am aiming to take in as many movies as I can, but these were the ten that stayed at the top of my list as I revised (and revised) my schedule. From actors I have had my eye on to compelling stories that grabbed my attention, keep your browsers bookmarked to FSR as I review each of these films and discover whether I was right (or wrong) with my choices here.
Sundance is many things – cold temperatures, snow, memorizing the shuttle schedule, training your body to take two hour "naps" each night, Simon Baker stopping your delirious self from walking into on-coming traffic on Main Street (a true, and embarrassing, story), but most importantly – it's about movies. The Sundance Film Festival is the first big film festival of the year and as such, it never fails to set the bar high with standout programming from premiere features to moving documentaries to midnight scare-a-thons. With an impressive (and at times overwhelming) slate of films to choose from, I narrowed down the films that seem to be getting the most buzz already and are popping up on people's "must-see" lists. Of course there will probably be a film or two here that do not live up to expectations while there is also a good chance that I have left something out that will end up being a standout at this year's festival, but it is that unpredictability that's part of the fun. Stay tuned to FSR as Kate Erbland and I head to Park City this weekend to take in as many of these titles as we can and report back on whether they live up to the hype and what should stay on your must-see lists as these films (fingers crossed) get picked up for distribution over the next eleven days. A mix of features and documentaries, comedies and horror, this list features both actors and filmmakers returning to Sundance and […]

The man in the dark mask turns his head To face the crowd with evil eyes, The crowd cry out with screams of dread But he carries on amidst their cries As he emits a booming laugh, Which seems to echo, through the night, He carries on his reign of wrath, And slaughters everyone in sight But one small, frail, child Decides the masked man will be beat And runs though crowds with bodies piled And kneels down at the masked mans feet The rogue looks down with chilling eyes Upon the small child on the floor And as he wields his knife to strike Lets out a sudden painful roar Beneath his legs the child had crawled And stabbed his spine with one small knife And when the brutal man did fall His throat was slit to end his life.

I have been using this for years, a jar lasts AGES, and it sets my makeup just perfectly to eliminate shine and even out my skin tone. Used lightly it doesn't look powdery at all, and you only need a small amount.
UPDATE: I started using MakeUp ForEver's loose powder "Super Matte", and it's soooo much better! Its a much finer texture that just melts into my skin and reallyy keeps me matte all day without looking caked! Sorry Select Sheer, I've put you down to a 4, you were a good powder to me all these years but now I've switched to MakeUp ForEver which gets a 5!
FYI in MAC I am NC35 or NC40, and in MakeUp ForEver Super Matte powder I am 54

Does not even the skin texture as much as some other powders do... I have acne-prone skin and enlarged pores....this powder just did NOTHING to my problem......The pores on the nose even got larger! But my favourite I.D.-powder Mineral Veil does the job very good, I have used it for years. It is fun to try new products, but this just reminded me of why Mineral veil is so wonderful.... :)
I would not recommend this powder, because it's not better than any other......if you ask me. :)
Well, I actually really love the effects of this powder. I have very oily skin, and this mattes with the lightest shimmer that gives a luminous look. I have always been afraid of shimmer powders with even a bit of shimmer, but this isn't really shimmer, but more of a gentle illuminator. I love that it looks natural and leaves a glow but also helps control shine (for a while).
BUT- I hate the jar- the lid is hard to get back on.
Even more so, I think this is really TOXIC. It smells like petroleum and irritates my contacts/eyes & makes me cough for like a half hour after using it.
UPDATE: After trying a few more powders (out of many, many I've tried), I think I have to find a way to deal with the irritation and go back to this!
Well, this is my all time favourite Sheer loose powder! Better than BB loose powder. Almost finishing on the 2nd jar, often use this with a brush ontop of foudation to hold-up m/up last longer. Sometimes, just dust it after my sunscreen. Of cos, rinse-off properly with m/up removal. No breakouts.

I love this loose powder. I've been searching for an affordable loose powder and came across this one, which works fabulously. I was using Bobbi Brown's, but it's too expensive and MAC's color range is better. I bought the NC 15 and I'm very happy with the color, coverage, and texture. Definite repurchase.

Well, I have been using all kind of loose powders for years, and Dior & Chanel have been my staples for at least 15 years.
Then I decided to venture into other brands... so finally I got the chance to buy the so much praised MAC powder.
The SA recommended me this one (instead of her Blot one, dut to the fact that I wear the "classic" powders like Dior, that give you that polished finish). I got the NC15 - same as the foundation.
Well, the powder is a good powder, I mean, nice, it goes its job; colour is good, helps foundation to stay put. All ok.
The jar is verty spartan, I mean with this powder you are not even given the chance to use a puff as they do not insert it - OK you must use a specific powder brush but sometimes for a quick re-touch the puff is a valuable tool ! Many Makeup artists use it...to press the powder into the skin, see Chanel application technique video (and it is by far my favourite powder tool).
What I really do NOT get about ths powder is the price. I realized I paid 25 Euros (in Italy this is its price! corresponds to a good 39$!!) for a 8 grams jar ???????????????
Normally powders have 20, 25 or 30 grams as per the content, and their price range vary from 24 to 39 Euros (for the 30 grams in Guerlain, for example. Chanel is on 37 Euros for 30 grams too).
So I paid for a MAC powder (that is not exactly an High-End brand) 3 times the price of another brand - quality comparable???
If the MAC jar would have been "normal sized" (like 24 grams, for example) it would have had a price tag of 75 Euros??? This is out of control and not justifiable by its quality (good but not outstanding, and you do not use it in a lesser quantity respect the others... so a small 8 gr. jar will last 2 or 3 weeks at my place, nothing).
Good product, but never again, due to unjustified pricing.

I like this powder, it kept my face looking great all day and i didn't even need a retouch. It gives a subtle glow, but i don't know if it's the foundation (mineralize satin finish from mac) or the actual powder....maybe both. Anyways, its lovely, the combination of the foundation and the powder is perfection and my face has never looked this good and for a fraction of the cost of other department store brands and sephora....so i am happy.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
-Not obviously powder
-Nice subtle shimmery feel
-Silky texture
-Controls oil and shine
-The pot lasts you for quite a while. I stopped using it after a few months, but at the rate I was going, it could easily have lasted me 2 years if I had continued.
-Need the right brush to go with the application (which equals more time and more money)
-The packaging is irritating and not the most functional - it can get messy if you loose your footing for a sec and powder falls onto your carpet.
-The colour range is terrible. I was recommended NC25, but I'm a C3 in Studiofix!
-Pricey for a setting powder
Overall, this isn't a bad powder at all....for people who can find the right colour and for those who like to set their makeup with loose powder. For me, the colour wasn't right and it was too inconvenient to apply every morning.
Most importantly, why buy a loose powder to set your makeup when you can get a powder foundation which sets AND has coverage? I haven't used as many products out there as a lot of MUA girls, but I think I've neen lucky in finding great powder foundations in MAC StudioFix and Px Anywear. They're both great by themselves and as setting powder: great coverage, great finish, so convenient AND great colour range. I strongly recommend these two over Sheer Select Loose Powder
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I overcame my dislike of loose powders (mainly due to the mess they can make) and bought this one from MAC after hearing many wonderful things. I have not been disappointed. Sure, it can be messy and requires a bit more effort than a pressed powder compact, but the superior results justify the extra hassle. The results are beautiful - the powder just glides on and I find it fills in pores and lines, giving a very smooth finish, certainly much smoother than the finish I get from Select Sheer pressed or Studio Fix powders. With this powder, I feel like it glides over my face and any excess falls off the brush or off my skin, rather than sticking to my skin and giving me a caked-on look. It works perfectly with my #129 brush, though I can see how using a smaller brush would achieve better application around the eye area in particular. This one definitely goes to the top of my list.

The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: Dnsgraph
A partly overloaded DNS server can slow down all the workstations on the network. Dnsgraph is an early warning system that gives administrators a graph of critical values. Your Dnsgraph charts will help you keep your systems serving names.
Just recently I heard about a memory genius who could remember the value of pi to several thousand decimal figures; at the same time, this person couldn't explain the practical value of this exercise. People like that don't need a DNS server; instead they could just memorize a few thousand IP addresses. But normal folks prefer DNS. And if you run a name resolution service yourself, I'm sure you will appreciate Dnsgraph [1]. The project name indicates a similarity with projects such as Mailgraph and Queuegraph, and Dnsgraph is actually based on Mailgraph. The tool parses a file for the status information generated by my Bind 9 DNS server [2], and converts the figures into a graph.

You don't have to do all that. Simply wearing a wedding band will be enough.
Same boat.

Good thing for guys like Dave, Mike and [large PE name redacted] there are thousands of girls with these credentials running around Murry Hill.
Let me repeat this for the record: Any time, anywhere, any number of people watching, any level of lighting.

I'm recently divorced and really into number crunching nerds. Holler at me.
– Lindsay Einhorn Gray
I guess that explains the O'Callaghan thing?
Let me get the chronology straight.
-Grey gets married in March '09.
-Starts flirting w Rausnitz when she is an "unpaid summer intern."
-Starts an affair with her after she becomes a full-time JPM employee.
-After a while she transfers to London to get away from him.So, assuming she was an intern in the summer of '09 and became full-time in '10, he was already cheating on his wife w/in 18 months of being married.
good god, can someone confirm if these….uhummm…..people (cough cough) are still employed by jpm?
And why would an Isreali agent choose a three-times platinum, grammy nominated recording artist as an alias? Doesn't seem likely.
Perma: not Dave's fault…bitch put a spell on him.
Damn I bet she gives a good BJ
-guy #3
Exactly what I thought. This guy is scumbag number 1, what a loser. Not too mention his wife is good looking and Rausnitz while cute isn't material worth ruining a marriage over. But I digress…
And Rausnitz is whoretastic.
They are not.
I have no issues with that remark.
He went from Grey to blue.
Negatory. Examine the lips (or lack there of) and your motives.
She's Duke '09. Which means maybe 5 legitimate months of being married

Although his former wife (woof) wasn't as attractive as his recent flame, as the daughter of a Wachtell partner, I'm thinking he gave up a very attractive long-term financial future for a few moments of bliss.
I don't think his financial analysis skills rate in the "high-flyer" category.
had this exact thought myself
Dear Daniela,
We've been trying to fill a spot here at the Emperors Club since 2008. We've been looking high and low, but we just couldn't find a big enough skank. That all changed when we heard about you. Working for us will be just like your previous life except you'll be compensated for your whoring.
You should listen to more classical music. If you had better developed the connection between your right and left brain, none of this would have happened.

176 text messages to your ex in 24 hours is the NKI
Stupid young man. Lemme tell you. This is what you should have done. You call this number and they send a girl to a hotel room in Washington. Very discreet. Money changes hands, and no one is the wiser. If you had followed that plan, you'd still have a wife and a family and a job. Or at least two out of three, which is still not bad.

text: Lifelong La Grange resident Horace Grady never thought years ago that he would be back in school after having dropped out in his youth, but the opening of the Lenoir Community College La Grange Center opened the opportunity for him to do just that. One of nine children, Grady said he dropped out of school in the eighth grade so he could support his family. He spent years doing construction work before being hired at Caswell Center in 1970. As he neared retirement in 1999, he began to consider obtaining the education he was denied so many years ago. He is more than halfway through completion of obtaining his GED having successfully passed the Reading, Science, and Social Studies segments. His hard work has paid off as his instructors recognized him by nominating and inducting him into the National Adult Education Honor Society (NAEHS). The induction ceremony will be held April 24 at LCC in Kinston. "It is an honor," Grady said. "I am proud to be nominated because this is something to acknowledge the effort I have put into my education." Student eligibility requirements include dependability, cooperative attitude, and excellent work ethic. Both staff and fellow students at LCC's La Grange Center agree that Grady was the best choice for nominee. LCC's La Grange Center Director Misty Moye said that Grady was the top choice for the very first La Grange Center nominee. "Mr. Grady is the kind of man everyone else looks up to," she said. "He is always willing to try, to learn, and to help others learn. It is an honor to be involved in Mr. Grady's achievements and successes." The National Adult Education Honor Society awards a certificate, lapel pin, and inclusion in a national roster of outstanding adult students. Moye said the roster would be proudly displayed at the La Grange Center. Grady also received a letter of recommendation for his educational endeavors and successes. "Most importantly, he will be asked to serve as an ambassador for Adult Education," Moye added. One of Grady's instructors, Leigh Abel, said that is why she nominated him. "Mr. Grady truly embodies the best of adult learners. He strives for excellence, he is patient, diligent, and who could set a better example for other students?" she said. "He came here as a retiree with an eighth grade education, and look how much he has accomplished!" Instructor Elizabeth Mayo agrees and added, "If only all students valued education as much as Mr. Grady does!"

Short Film of Death: 'Matchmaker' Hires Scream Queen Tiffany Shepis to be Your Love Guru
Features By Scott Beggs on November 13, 2013 | Comments (1)Why Watch? To celebrate The ABCs of Death 2's search for the second 26th director, we're posting 13 contest entries for 13 days. All of which start with M is for. Today's is Matchmaker from Sean Tretta.

In this short, she's working hard to help a nerdy guy hunt down the perfect woman. Cheeky and playful at all times, the fun it provides (and Shepis' charisma) gloss over an obvious twist and minimal gore. This one's more about gags than goosebumps, but it does what it does incredibly well. Immature humor and bad wardrobes included.

John Corrado
John Corrado: If your health awareness menu includes the "finding du jour," you must feel like a yo-yo. Just think of the fluctuating wisdom about nutrition. Red meat, once "good for you," is now a villain. Milk, once as unimpeachable as motherhood, is now at least a villainette. If you drink wine, make sure it's white…oops, change that to red. "Decaf" was better than coffee until recently, when the providers of wisdom became unsure of that. They also flip-flopped on bacon, which, like a romance in a Harlequin novel, went from good to bad to good again. Ditto in the butter to margarine dialectic. Then there's the consumption of alcohol, which went from "don't" to "one drink is better than either none or more than one." We went from counting calories to counting carbohydrates to counting fat grams. Even the composition of the "basic food groups" has been changed. What is a person to make of all this?
Richard Gilbert: I made the mistake of reading John Robbins' Diet for a New America, becoming known as the "Vegetarian Bible." Robbins is an heir to the Baskin-Robbins ice cream fortune but, believing the dairy industry exploits animals, he has made animal rights his life-long crusade. I use the word "mistake" because Robbins created a cognitive dissonance in me that sharply challenged the life-style of over half a century. Read it at your own risk.
Helena P. Chapin: I became a vegan after reading Robbins' book. In the foreword Joanna Macy suggests that if Americans woke up one day and found meat and poultry and dairy products unappealing, not only would our health be dramatically impacted, but world hunger, deforestation, water supplies, fossil fuel energy and our guilt about cruelty to other species would benefit as well.
It was as if there was nothing else to do…by changing the way I ate I could actually make a daily statement and [make a difference about] some very vital issues while improving my health! Being a vegan has become an integral part of my religious life. I believe Dr. Michael Klaper when he says:
Everything in life makes a difference, just as everything we eat becomes a part of us and shapes who we are. Food produced non-violently will make a gentler, healthier world for us and for all the creatures who share our planet. It is becoming clear that gentleness—toward one's self, toward one's family and neighbors, and toward our Mother Earth and all her inhabitants—is essential for true health, as well as for planetary survival.
Damage caused to the environment by meat eating is overwhelming. Here are just a few of Alan Durning's findings for the Worldwatch Institute:
World hunger and malnutrition—40,000 children die daily—are even more convincing evidence for eating lower on the food chain. Dr. Walden Bello of the Institute for Food and Development Policy states:
The fact is that there is enough food in the world for everyone. But strategically, much of the world's food and land resources are tied up in producing beef and other livestock—food for the well-off—while millions of children and adults suffer from malnutrition and starvation.
If environmental damage, cruelty to animals and world hunger aren't enough, consider the health of our own bodies. We are natural herbivores, with no claws and no sharp front teeth for tearing meat. We have flat molar teeth and can move our jaws forward and backward or side to side for grinding. Our intestinal tract is 12 times our body length (not the 3-times-the-body-length which allows decaying meat to pass out quickly). Our stomach acid is 20 times weaker than that of a meat eater. Robbins lists "diseases and conditions that can be commonly prevented, consistently improved, and/or sometimes cured by a low-fat diet free from animal products: strokes, heart disease, osteoporosis, prostate cancer, breast cancer, hypertension, salmonellosis, hypoglycemia, peptic ulcers, obesity, diabetes, hemorrhoids, diverticulosis, asthma, constipation, gallstones, and irritable bowel syndrome."
Finally, this issue of food choice is relevant to every one of our Unitarian Universalist (UU) Principles. Come join me at the vegan tables!
Frederick E. Gillis: Ultimately, we probably will need to find ways to live on less meat. We will need to find more earth-friendly ways of growing food. But to think that if one gives up eating meat and foregoes using other animal products one will save the world from environmental catastrophe is a simplistic solution to an amazingly complex problem.
There is not enough evidence even to confirm an overall trend toward global warming much less to justify zeroing in on meat-eating as a major cause. To suggest that as a society we should undertake a shift away from one major traditional food source to another overlooks the possibility that the effects of such a significant change could be even more damaging to the environment.
If we were to become a completely vegetarian culture, we would need even more chemical fertilizers for grain production (or animal waste for organic fertilizer), and more hydrocarbon-producing tractors and harvesting machinery as well.
The methane issue seems absurd. I don't hear anyone arguing that we should fill in our wetlands in the name of reducing greenhouse gases. Yet swamplands and mudflats produce more methane than cattle (and what about the effect of millions more humans eating beans?!).
Human beings have been carnivorous for millennia. The final verdict on the effect of a moderate meat-eating diet is not in. In fact Inuit peoples have enjoyed good health on an almost exclusively meat diet. Americans have a much longer life expectancy than people in many traditional vegetarian cultures.
Using animals for food is only part of the total situation. The main issues are population stabilization and the reduction of our use of hydrocarbons. The moral issue is our overall stewardship of the earth, not making us fit into a single behavioral mold.
Glen Turner: When I was a boy, the centerpiece of any family meal was meat. A good breakfast was bacon and eggs. A breakfast we could afford was cereal, milk and toast. Lunch was sandwiches and soup. A good sandwich was made with leftover pork or beef roast. We often made do with peanut butter and jelly. Suppers were spotty: meatloaves, hot dogs and beans, chicken and dumplings, waffles and bacon, beef stew, fish on Friday. Sunday was the roast: lamb, prime rib, pork, turkey. We liked meat. Vegetables and potatoes were mandatory nutritional supplements. However, corn on the cob we liked drenched in butter and salt. A rich ice cream was often dessert. A glass of milk went with every meal. Boxes of Fanny Farmer candy lay on the antique oak table that I have to this day. My father loved cheese. That came later for me.
My father had his first heart attack at age 55 and took early retirement. Angina pains plagued him until he died in his early 70s. I've been struggling with a reluctant journey toward health…a pilgrimage, if you will. I never wanted my consciousness raised about these issues—I like salt—but that sentiment from a best-loved hymn tugs at my conscience: "Lord of all, grant that we, wholesome grain and pure may be." There's a part of us that in a material and spiritual sense wants to do the right things for both our body and our soul.
In August, 1991, at my wife's insistence, we went a couple of weeks just eating vegetables. Then our holiday in the country was over, and it was back to the city and to a well-balanced diet of beef, lamb, pork, chicken, fish, and cheese. Only, the beef tasted less exciting each time I bit it. Last summer I began reading Robbins' book and gave up beef. In rapid succession went chicken and fish. Then I swore off milk and cheese and eggs. In preparation for a trek in Nepal, I began systematically to eat and exercise with an eye toward being physically and spiritually fit.
My pilgrimage now is concerned with not just my own personal health. In the 7th UU Principle that deals with the interdependent web of life, we learn that the issues run far deeper than individual salvation. I have a wonderful family to enjoy, including a grandson; I'd like to remain a grandfather to him as long as possible. And I sincerely wish the same for you, and for my children and yours.
One person who stops eating meat can't do anything about the number of people starving in the world, but if all Americans were to reduce their meat consumption by only 10%, it would free over twelve million tons of grain annually for human consumption. That, all by itself, would be enough to adequately feed every one of the 60 million beings who will starve to death on the planet this year.
Also, by cutting your own intake of meat, dairy products and eggs by 10%, you reduce your chance of a heart attack by 9%. It's up to you how healthy you want to be. The fact is that your choice has social political and economic consequences for you and everyone else in the world.
And what does this have to do with religion? I wonder about the fact that so many of the world's religions have strict teachings about diet. Yet, I don't think UUs address food or diet in any of the religious education curricula. We teach our children about "safe" sex, about AIDS/HIV, but not about food, not about diet, not about animal rights. Shouldn't we be teaching them about safe foods? About the dangers of alcohol and smoking? I think, at its core, any religion must be concerned with the health of its followers. We could each, in maximizing our own health, create a healthier world for others.
If you do this, do not do it silently. Spread the word (and the recipes).
We did not weave the web of life, We are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web We do to ourselves. __Chief Seattle

The White House had no immediate comment on the Post story. A White House spokesman told the newspaper that Biden's group was in the middle of its review and had not decided on its final recommendations.
The NRA has successfully lobbied federal lawmakers to stop major new gun restrictions since a 1994 assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004. The ban also prohibited ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds.
When asked if Congress will entertain new gun regulation, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that lawmakers needed to see Biden's recommendations.
"There will be plenty of time to take a look at their recommendations once they come forward," he said.
McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said that for the next three months Washington's debates would center on federal spending and the rising debt.
Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, an NRA member, said on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopolous" that the reported proposals were "way in extreme" and would not pass.
In a statement, New York Democratic Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand urged Biden to include in his proposals measures to prevent trafficking in illegal guns and to make it harder for felons and the mentally ill to get firearms.
