The beautiful Porthcurno Valley with its stunning Pedn-Vounder beach is world famous and the perfect choice for your holiday in Cornwall.
The entire valley was once owned by global telecommunications giant Cable & Wireless Ltd and more transatlantic cables came ashore here than any other destination in the world. As you descend into the valley, you will be able to see the many large houses that formed the corporate offices which have now been turned into residential and holiday homes. In fact the Cable Station Inn was the former Social Club! The unique setting and history of Porthcurno make it one of the best holiday destinations in West Cornwall, and we have the best Cornish cottages for you! Come visit Porthcurno, and relax in one of our many self catered accommodation options in the area. Whether you are looking for a late deal get away, or a long planned break in West Cornwall, we will have the right holiday cottage for you!
The world Famous Minack Theatre sits precariously on the very cliff edge and is real testimony to the sheer grit and determination of the founder Rowena Cade who personally and almost single handily, carved this stunning theatre from the granite cliffs over a 30 year period from 1929 until her retirement in 1993. She regularly dug sand from the beach and carried it up the cliffs on her back in a self made rucksack. At one time after a massive storm and wreck, Rowena Cade personally carried twelve 15ft timber beams up from the beach to the site of the theatre. Today the 750 seater open air auditorium with gallery, cafe and museum attracts visitors from all over the world to experience a summer season of plays in this truly unique setting. You can experience live theatre as you never have before when you holiday with us in Porthcurno. Our Cornish cottages are conveniently located near the best attractions in the area; you will love your holiday when you stay in one of our Porthcurno properties .
As a major cable station and with direct links to Churchill's war rooms in London, Porthcurno was an obvious enemy target during the Second World War and so tunnels were cut into the cliffs by local tin miners and the communications operations were moved inside. The underground tunnel took ten months to complete and was fully equipped with a power plant and blast-proof doors. Today the tunnel and the equipment have all been preserved and the museum is a fascinating insight into wartime communications and the major part that Porthcurno played in winning the war.
With so many attractions to see and things to do you may never even make it to the sandy beaches that surround Porthcurno. Of course if you do, youâll be visiting some of the most beautiful beaches Cornwall has to offer.
With great attractions, sandy beaches, and the best Cornish cottages available, when you holiday with us in Porthcurno, youâll have the holiday of a lifetime!
For some great offers on last minute Christmas and New Year breaks, please call us on 0808 115 1703.

I'm so sorry for being a ghost everywhere, guys. (Tumblr, twitter, instagram, fb, deviantart, etc.). My job has gotten very busy lately, but I'm going to have a pretty available weekend. so I'll hopefully get around to another video. Hope you all had a great Holiday! ♥
I have a X-Mas in the park event coming up soon, and I have no idea what to wear!!! I've been having actual stress nightmares where I am sewing things in my sleep and then don't like it and start from the beginning. No idea what I'm going to do, but we'll see what happens.
My friends and I are going to the midnight release of "The Hobbit" ASDFGHJKL. I can't wait. Seriously I'm going to nerd out so bad.
I'll be making a new video soon. Let me know if you have any future ideas. I've been making a list so I have stuff to record. ♥

Review: BatchPhoto won't wow you with too many advanced features
Apply filters and effects, annotate, decorate, transform, and touch-up multiple photos at once using BatchPhoto.
BatchPhoto doesn't include any home run features, but its step-by-step walkthroughs make it great for beginners. It lets anyone crop, add borders, annotate, and apply filters and effects to multiple photos at once. If you're new to the photo-editing world, it might be the program you're looking for if you've got a little cash to spend.
You can use all of the features of this program without paying, but it will put a watermark on your photos. The program starts you off with a click-through tutorial, complete with videos, that can take some time to complete. Luckily, you can exit the tutorial at any time and get right to work. Editing photos with the program follows the same step-by-step process of the tutorial. BatchPhoto's wizard boils everything down to a few stages -- Add Photos, Edit Photos, Setup, and Process. In the main editing stage, you can apply filters, borders, and other decorations that will lighten up your pictures. You can also crop and resize photos, as well as add text with relative ease. Once you've clicked "Process," the program goes to work, but it doesn't overwrite your photos in case you mess up. It also doesn't take very long for the program to process and edit your photos, which is a plus.
With BatchPhoto, you're not paying for advanced features, but for ease of use. If you're new to editing photos, then this is a perfect choice. The $29.95 charge is worth paying just to learn the ropes before investing in more expensive options that are generally much harder to use.
Editors' note: This is a review of the full version of BatchPhoto 3.5.2. The trial version contains watermark on output.

Keira's Elegant New Bob
As Karl Lagerfeld showed his latest Chanel collection in Paris today, Keira Knightly sat front row and debuted a brand new, shapely bob. "I had my hair bobbed about a month ago, then I had it freshly trimmed again this morning," the star told InStyle.co.uk. And unlike many actresses, who show off shorter strands for a role—Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway— Knightly swears this crop was her own choice. "I did it for myself," she said. Unsurprisingly, Knightly was awestruck by the Chanel show, "I loved it! It was just so beautiful!" We can only hope to see Knightly, her new bob, and a Chanel gown on a red carpet sometime soon.
A girly, curly updo turned out with a simple, shiny headband
Metallic Gray Nail Polish
A year ago, matte nails were all the rage. But as beauty mavens know, all good trends must come to an end. Take Vanessa Hudgens's ultra-shiny metallic gray fingertips at the launch of Guess's new Seductive fragrance in Hollywood. If you're ready to play with a highly reflective tone, take the time to first buff your nails and apply a base coat. They formulas are a bit more fussy than creamy hues and can chip easily without a bit of prep. Deborah Lippman polish is always a good choice.
Lush Lashes
At the Giorgio Armani fashion show in Milan, Megan Fox's watermelon pout took center-stage, but carefully appointed eyes finished her look. Rather than going for a bold lip color and heavy shadow, keep your lids bare and focus instead on your lashes. Fox added a half strip of falsies to her top lashes; you can get a similar effect by layering your mascara. Trust us—it's almost impossible to go overboard.
Peach Nude Lips
At the Dior Fashion's Night Out celebration in New York City, Charlize Theron turned up in smudgy, smokey eyes and low key nude lips. To try a similar mouth shade without looking sickly or washed out, choose a moisturizing formula with warm peach undertones. Spread it on with a lip brush for an even, full coverage application.
Smokey Blue Shadow
At the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, Ashley Greene kept her look fittingly young and fresh by skipping a serious smokey eye, and turning to shades of blue instead. To play with a similar concept, blend a deep navy shadow up to the crease, flicking outwards a bit at the corners of the eyes. Then rim below your bottom lashline with an icy azure. The result is moody, but not overly austere.

I am glad that the schoolSubmitted by Guest1970 (not verified) on Fri, 05/14/2010 - 7:03pm.
I am glad that the school officials realize the importance of keeping parents informed when things like this happen. Several years ago, on a Monday, I was getting out of my car at home when a news reporter got out of her van. She asked me if I had a child that goes to Bellamy. I did. She then asked me if I knew that a teacher and janitor had been arrested the previous Friday and that the deputies were at the school with the drug dogs. It was the first I had heard of it. There was never any information by the school or the school board sent out to let us know what was going on. We now live in Brunswick County and we get irritated with some of the phone calls that tell us about some concert or other such activity that we have no interest in, but as I think about it now, it is better to be over informed instead of uninformed. »

The Impact R616AC 16 Channel Radio Slave System is designed to trigger strobes wirelessly. This system works in tandem with most AC powered strobe packs or monolights, and draws power via the attached AC cord. There are no batteries in the receiver to worry about during a busy photo shoot.
Sixteen channels offer more than ample capacity to avoid local radio interference, and total freedom from dragging around a sync cord. Sixteen channels also provide the opportunity to assign different groupings of lights to their own channel, which can be selected by switching to their respective channel on the transmitter that mounts on the camera's hot shoe.
The transmitter is powered by an included 23A, 12V alkaline battery. The battery has a lifespan of ~10,000 flashes, as the transmitter only draws power from it when it is firing.
Note: This set comes with adapters for mini and monoplug sync connections.

Students and alumni are living the brand every day.

Our brand is more than a name or logo – It's a promise we make about all things related to Westminster College. Our brand reveals and promotes our dedication to Westminster's vision for education, leadership and student achievement. Through consistent branding, we impress what makes Westminster more than a college.
The Westminster Brand Defined.
Since its inception in 1851, Westminster College has evolved into an educational frontrunner, a nationally ranked institution that distinguishes its solid reputation as a small liberal arts institution with strong academics through international connections and perspective. For the students who pass through the columns, Westminster is a life-changing experience, not a textbook one.
Westminster College inspires students to challenge and be challenged, to acknowledge and develop their leadership potential with the understanding that leadership is defined by engagement, compassion and service – not status or title. A diverse, world-rounded student population, exceptional educational opportunities that extend beyond classroom walls, and a strong academic faculty that holds students accountable for their performance, talent and service create a transformational experience for students at Westminster College.
The Westminster Points of Distinction Great Value – More than a college educationMore than classroom education and more than a diploma, Westminster students receive leadership development and inspiration from a college that brings the world to them and teaches them to impact the world.
Individual Development – Inspiring growthAt Westminster, students don't get lost in the crowd. Our small, friendly campus atmosphere welcomes students and encourages them to get involved. At Westminster, students discover and develop leadership skills that will serve them the rest of their lives.
Global Leadership – Educating global leadersWith a diverse, international student body, Westminster students find interactions in the classrooms and on campus that open and challenge their world perspective. That diverse student population combines with Westminster's long-standing history of bringing top world leaders to campus to inspire students to adopt leadership roles with an eye on changing the world.
Tradition of Excellence – Tradition of achievementWestminster students graduate into good company: Alumni carry on a tradition of achievement, excellence, success – from National Student Service Award Nominee, Derick Dailey '11 to Rizia Bardhan '05, named to Forbes' 30 under 30 "Rising Stars of Science" list in 2011.
On the Move – Leading the wayOur faculty and staff are dedicated to staying at the vanguard of education, so our students graduate ready to rise to the top in their chosen fields: Westminster continually renews and transforms its academic offerings to meet ever-changing needs and knowledge, creating an atmosphere where vision is valued more than status quo.

Your Dry Cleaner Doesn't Have To Get It
July 11, 2011, Panama City, Panama: Understanding how to retire, and live overseas. It reduces your living cost. But relatives don't understand.
Dear Overseas Opportunity Letter Reader,
Unless you're very lucky, your friends and family aren't going to understand.
When you tell them you're thinking about moving to a new country for your retirement, their responses will likely range from bemusement to shock and horror. They'll think you've lost your grounding and are over-indulging in fantasy...or, worse, that you've flat out lost your mind.
My family still doesn't get it. When I announced more than a dozen years ago that I was making plans to relocate from the East Coast of the United States to the southeast coast of Ireland, they at first indulged me by saying nothing. Then, when it became clear that the planning stage was moving into the moving stage, they got vocal. My mother cried. My sister wondered if a move like this could possibly be in the best interest of her niece (my 8-year-old daughter Kaitlin). My aunt asked how I could be so heartless as to take my mother and father's grandchild so far away from them.
Our first year in Ireland, we heard little from my family. Then I became pregnant with my second child, Jackson, and my mom and dad put their misgivings about our international relocation aside and, finally, came to visit.
Years later, when I called my mother to tell her we intended to move again, this time from Waterford, Ireland, to Paris, France, she responded at first, again, with silence. Then, after an awkward pause, "Don't the French hate Americans?"
Many phone calls and months later, my mom did come to visit. The morning we escorted her to the airport for her return flight to the States after she'd spent 10 days with us in Paris, she turned and said, "I was wrong not to have come sooner. You're right. The French are fine, and this city is beautiful."
Three years ago, we were at it again. "Mom, we're moving to Panama!" I called to exclaim one morning.
Then: "But I thought you loved Paris? Why would you move again now? Where will Jack go to school? Isn't it miserably hot in Panama? What about your lovely apartment in Paris? You're not going to give that up, are you?"
A few years later, my mother and Panama City remain strangers, though she indicated at Christmas that she might venture down to the tropics for a visit sometime this year.
Lief and I are on a different track from many, and we long ago gave up on the idea that everyone would understand. The lifestyle we've chosen doesn't have to make sense to everyone else. It makes sense to us.
This is the point you'll need to get to. Don't expect the woman in front of you in the grocery store checkout line to endorse or validate your plan to reinvent your life in a foreign country. Why in the world would you want to leave everything familiar...your family and friends, all things comfortable and secure...to start over somewhere new?
Your reasons are likely many, for the benefits of spending even some of your time in a foreign locale can be great. You can reduce your cost of living, sure, but that's only the beginning of the story. The real advantages to internationalizing your lifestyle are less practical. Living in a foreign country, all or even just part of the time, your life becomes fuller and richer in ways you likely couldn't predict right now, certainly that you couldn't articulate for your dry cleaner.
But that's ok. Remember...he doesn't have to understand.

May 25, 2013 7:41 PM by UL Sports Information
LAFAYETTE - The Ragin' Cajuns baseball team advanced to Championship Sunday in the 2013 Sun Belt Conference Tournament at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field with a 12-2 run-rule victory over South Alabama in a bracket final contest here Saturday afternoon.
Louisiana (41-17) scored multiple runs in four of the first five innings in cruising past the Jaguars (42-18). A Cajuns pitcher recorded a complete game effort a second straight day as Ryan Wilson tossed all seven innings.
The victory sets up a matchup with Florida Atlantic (38-20) at 1 p.m. on Sunday for the tournament championship. The game will be broadcast live by the Sun Belt Network which will air on CSS/CST.
It will be Louisiana's first appearance in the title game since the 2007 event at Eddie Stanky Field in Mobile. The Cajuns will attempt to win the SBC Tournament for the first time since 1998 - the first and only time UL won the league's postseason event since joining the league in 1992.
The bottom of the Cajuns lineup produced the bulk of the damage. Michael Strentz, Blake Trahan and Chase Compton, hitting 7-8-9, combined to go 6-for-8 with seven runs scored and six RBI.
Dex Kjerstad picked up his 29th multiple-hit game and 16th with at least three hits finishing 3-for-4. Seth Harrison launched the team's 70th home run of the season in the first inning.
Wilson limited the Jaguars to four hits and struck out six. It was the second straight day that a UL pitcher limited USA to exactly four hits.
Louisiana produced nine-plus runs and double digit hits for the third straight game in the SBC Tournament. Through three games the Cajuns offense has produced 30 runs off 38 hits.
Harrison's home run came just three batters into the contest and staked the tournament hosts to a 2-0 lead. The Cajuns added two more runs in the second inning on a Trahan sacrifice fly and Compton squeeze bunt to extend the lead to 4-0.
USA reliever Brandon Boyle pitched the first and only scoreless frame that Jaguars pitching would record in the contest by stranding a pair of Cajuns baserunners in the third inning.
The teams swapped two-run frames in the fourth inning resulting in a 6-2 lead for UL. The Cajuns would then put the game out of reach with a three-spot in the fifth inning.
Caleb Adams singled with one out and advanced to second on a groundout by Ryan Leonards. Strentz singled bringing home Adams, then moved to second on the throw home and advanced to third on a throwing error. A Trahan double down the left-field line scored Strentz and Compton followed with another double for the Cajuns to score Trahan and increase the lead to 9-2.
The Cajuns added an unearned run in the sixth inning and two more unearned runs in the seventh to create a 10-run lead. USA was unable to muster any offense in the bottom half of the seventh ending the game by mercy rule.
With the win Louisiana extended its winning streak to a season-high seven games. It was the Cajuns third straight win over the Jaguars (won season series finale and twice in SBC Tournament).
The Cajuns also increased their win improvement over last season's 23-30 record to 18 games, tying the 1997 squad for the largest turnaround in the Tony Robichaux era.
BASES NOTED: Seth Harrison's home run in the first inning gave Louisiana 70 home runs for the first time since 2007 (hit 76 that season)...The Cajuns improved to 33-3 when producing double figure hits and remained undefeated (16-0) when scoring double figure runs...Dex Kjerstad extended his season-best hitting streak to 12 games...Kjerstad is two shy of tying Tyler Girouard and Ryan Leonards (14-game streaks) for the longest hit streak by a Cajuns player this year...Kjerstad tops the Cajuns hitting .667 (8-of-12) in the Sun Belt Tournament...As a team, Louisiana enters Championship Sunday hitting .376 and slugging .614 in the 2013 SBC Tournament...Cajuns pitching has allowed just 22 hits over 25 innings pitched in the event...Louisiana's bullpen has pitched just 8 2/3 innings during the SBC Tournament...The 10-run margin of victory marked the Cajuns 21st triumph of six-plus runs...Dex Kjerstad now has 91 base hits, leaving him 10 shy of the school record 101 hits posted by Nathan Nelson in 2000...Jace Conrad picked up his 30th RBI giving UL eight of nine starters with at least 30 RBI...Ryan Leonards and Chase Compton (both at 29 RBI) need one more RBI to give Louisiana 10 different players with at least 30 RBI...In the two wins over South Alabama to advance to Championship Sunday, the Ragin' Cajuns outscored the Jaguars 21-4...The Cajuns season run differential is now +160 outscoring the opposition 445-285...Louisiana out-hit the opposition for the 36th time in 58 games and improved to 35-1 when the team's hits outweight the opposition....Louisiana took 2-of-3 from Florida Atlantic in a weekend series at "The Tigue" April 19-21 with a two-run home run by the Owls in the ninth inning of the middle game being the lone factor that prevented the Cajuns from sweeping the series...In the series finale the Cajuns run-ruled FAU 12-2 in seven innings behind a sterling pitching effort from Cody Boutte who did not allow an Owls base hit until the fifth inning.

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) comprise a broad class of small noncoding RNAs that function as an endogenous defense system against transposable elements. Here we show that the putative DExD-box helicase MOV10-like-1 (MOV10L1) is essential for silencing retrotransposons in the mouse male germline. Mov10l1 is specifically expressed in germ cells with increasing expression from gonocytes/type A spermatogonia to pachytene spermatocytes. Primary spermatocytes of Mov10l1(-/-) mice show activation of LTR and LINE-1 retrotransposons, followed by cell death, causing male infertility and a complete block of spermatogenesis at early prophase of meiosis I. Despite the early expression of Mov10l1, germline stem cell maintenance appears unaffected in Mov10l1(-/-) mice. MOV10L1 interacts with the Piwi proteins MILI and MIWI. MOV10L1 also interacts with heat shock 70-kDa protein 2 (HSPA2), a testis-enriched chaperone expressed in pachytene spermatocytes and also essential for male fertility. These studies reveal a crucial role of MOV10L1 in male fertility and piRNA-directed retrotransposon silencing in male germ cells and suggest that MOV10L1 functions as a key component of a safeguard mechanism for the genetic information in male germ cells of mammals.

Well, it's my drum, so I am going to keep beating it.
The Pashtun need their own country. Until they get it, they will keep manipulating or destabilizing anyone in Kabul or Islamabad who pretends to rule them. Pakistan will never make peace with India so long as the Pashtun share their house. And the Daris, Hazaras, and Tajiks in Western Afghanistan will never form a coherent polity so long as they must oppress or be oppressed by the Pashtun.
Go ahead and ignore me. Try to wish your Afghanistan and Pakistan into viability. And let history show us all.
Very good points - I agree with most of them. I would like to add a few on USA's thoughts failed interventions in Asia. In spite of losing all these wars, the Americans continue to think it is still a unipolar world. It is now a very multipolar globe, with Asia playing a very major role in global politics - and the world economy. Asia now have their own super-powers (China, Russia, India - and, eventually, Turkey). The USA will find it very difficult to retain friends in Asia, unless they adjust to these new realities. And yet, when you look at the statements of their politicians (particularly the Republicans, the neo cons, Romney, etc.), they feel that they continue to have the "right to intervene". Their last 2 interventions failed badly - at a huge cost to the US economy. China is now the biggest lender to the USA. They now plan to repeat their mistakes in Iran. Iran is not a threat to the USA. Israel (the main ally of the USA) often creates a hype in Washington, which the Republican neo cons use. Israel is one of the main causes of instability in the Middle East - I think the Asian powers need to have a united front on this issue. In particular, if China, Russia and India can unite on foreign policy issues, they can propel Asia into a new era of political (and economic) stability. If Israel can be forced to give up their nuclear weapons, then Iran will have no incentive to have a nuclear program. Asian powers will provide a security umbrella so that outside/US intervention will no longer be required. Israel might not accept that - but, they need to grow up and realize that their country is located in Asia - and not in Europe/North America!!!
These villagers are able to fend off the Taliban, with little or no help from their government or the US.
Meanwhile, the US, with over a hundred thousand troops, the world's most sophisticated weaponry, and billions of dollars and 10 plus years has barely made a dent.
So, I ask you, who is the worm?
You're a moron. Afghans are not Arabs. The US is handing out weapons to every able body Afghan male and some females through various programs, about half of which involve little or no training. The "Afghan Local Police" program for example.
In other words, we pour weapons into the country, like we did in the 1980s, and then idiots like you hold it against them. Your ignorance is astounding.
Its always refreshing to see people advocate genocide, especially those who profess an affection for human rights and the rule of law
People don't like outsiders coming in and telling them what to do. Is that any surprise? Is it also a big surprise that from the "villagers'" (perhaps an insultingly condescending term) point of view, what the US/Nato and the Taliban have in common (outsiders coming in and telling them what to do) is more significant than any fine point of philosophy about which those two groups of outsiders may disagree?
It's an old story -- two groups of outsiders fighting each other for control of people who don't want to be controlled by outsiders.
As to the question about "who is the worm", I believe that in the original English idiom, "worm" means screw (as in "worm gear"), not a spineless burrowing animal. The "worm turning" represents a slow but inexorable mechanical process. We might now say "putting the screws to him". Therefore, there is no "who" in this "worm". What there is is the inexorable process of invasion, insurgency, counter-insurgency, alliance, oppression, resistance, and treachery that grinds through its usual steps whenever two or more groups of people are fighting for control of one another.
Soviets and Americans destabilized Afghanistan and left it bleeding for neighboring countries. To gain control over Afghanistan Pakistan created a Jihadi movement known as Taliban who are now indirectly representing Pashtoons to control the Kabul Throne. If the world really wants to nullify the impact of Talibans in Afghanistan then the world must provide an alternate platform for Pashtoons based on Pashtoon culture and values but not on hardcore Islamic beliefs.
No one is. The US is unable to 'win' in Afghanistan for the sole reason that the American public is not willing to sustain even an iota of human and material loss over Afghanistan. Americans don't see the country as being worth the bones of a single Iowan GI, to paraphrase von Bismark. Or they are a bunch of decadent cowards.
Americans have been soundly whopping some Taliban asses in battle, with a casualty exchange ratio of more than 10 to one. Doesn't matter though, because a single American death is still a big deal and saps the political capital of any president sitting in Washington D.C.
Obviously, for these villagers, things are a little different - it's their home! Even if they lose more men than the Taliban, just kicking them out of the area qualifies as victory. From a certain perspective, they are mentally tougher than the Taliban, and much more so than the West or the USSR.
"The villagers say they just want to be left alone."
There it is. The universal cry for life and liberty.
Taliban - butt out. Karzai sick bastards - butt out. US/NATO - butt out.
It is hugely wrong for the US/NATO troops to barge into villages and take away their weapons, making it all the easier for the Taliban to move in.
So having warlords, opium producers, a dictator in Kabul, western foreign forces, a Islamic fundamentalist group, and Pakistani interference was not bad enough, lets have local militias.
The problem in Afghanistan is all the men have AK-47 assault weapons.
They are as common as TVs.
And you will NEVER disarm them. They love their guns more than NRA members in the Deep South.
You would sooner take away their holy Korans.
The two most valued items in an Arab household: The Koran.........and the AK-47.
And the men rape, pillage and murder, etc, etc.
Women with guns are a lot more rational: self defense, protection of home, shooing away unwanted suitors, killing varmints, and hunting.
Solution: Give all Afghan women their own assault rifles too.
Let them carry it concealed under their burkas.
It makes a tiny woman the equivalent of Pancho Villa.
All security problems would soon disappear.
Equal rights is just a matter of equal firepower.
This article misses an important implication of this uprising. That is, the utter, miserable failure of the US military to defeat the Taliban in any decisive way. If a few villages receiving marginal aid from their government can defeat the Taliban, why can't the world's most sophisticated military? Pretty pathetic if you think about it. What happened to the billions we poured into the Afghan National Security Forces, why aren't Generals executing this campaign being held to account, why isn't DynCorp, which has had the contract for training the ANSF for most of the past 10 years, being prosecuted?
The Afghan campaign is not about security, it's not about helping the Afghans, and it only has a peripheral relation to Al Qaida. It's the military industrial complex run amok. It's about profit for American companies and jobs for the American underclass. It's about the US trying to save face. We lost but we can't admit it, we can't walk away and let the Islamists think they've won. Who pays the ultimate price--the poor Afghans caught in between.
The US took a big dump in this part of the world in the 1980s and its doing it again. So, when the next president takes office and decides to turn his back on Afghanistan because the American public just won't have it anymore, and 20 years from now the US is attacked again, America will collectively moan and say "they hate our freedoms."
It would be funny if it weren't so sad.
" Pakistan will never make peace with India so long as the Pashtun share their house."
I am sorry but I disagree with the grounds of this particular proposition ( though not with the conclusion) of your argument. Pashtun factor , I believe , is being overplayed here in Indo-Pak Relations. There are other pertinent reasons why Pakistan will never make peace with India:-
1. India is seen as an existential threat in Pakistan due to historical reasons ranging from formation of Pakistan to formation of Bangladesh ,this is why Armed forces exercise such disproportionately high authority in Pakistan. Internal Issues however bad are seen as secondary to a perceived external threat posed by India.
2. India is viewed not as a Secular country rather a Hindu Nation by Pakistan . This is because ordinary Pakistanis do not interact with people of other faiths (as they are hardly anyone left in Pakistan) and hence have little grasp of the ideals of secularism and religious tolerance . In their mindset , Since Hindus form an overall numerical majority , India becomes a hindu Nation (never mind the fact that even presently in India ;Prime Minister , President ,Vice-President & Majority Coalition Chairperson are all from different religions ). Moreover ,there seems little point in having a whole Islamic Republic carved out of the Subcontinent if there is no Anti-Islamic Counterpart that is left behind. Islam is seen as threatened by a Hindu India , and hence Fighting against India becomes a holy job sanctioned by God itself .
I don't see any of the above 2 factors fading away in future with or without Pashtun factor and hence little change in Pakistan's Position vis-a-vis India .
Easy way to fix Afghanistan is to eliminate/neutralize Pakistans Military and intelligence (ISI). America will never succeed until this issue gets fixed and there is no point in supplying weapons and sitting with enemies and planning!
What a mess
I suggest you at least go study insurgency and counter-insurgency warfare before making ignorant comments that would answer your rhetorical questions. I tire of seeing such comments and I have grown weary of explaining things in detail of why things are as they are in these Afghan articles because apparently the ignorance is ingrained.
Also more ignorant comments perpetuating common myths of the 1980's. Afghanistan collapsed into civil war because the Soviets quit sending aid as they were collapsing. The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan held on just nicely for 3 years after Soviet troops left, but the Soviets kept up the aid flow. Those 3 years under the DRA saw levels of violence decrease and areas of government control expand well beyond what was controlled by the government with Soviet troops. As the Soviet Union's collapse was unexpected, I think there is little reason to have expected Americans to continue to place emphasis on Afghanistan when Eastern Europe and other communist countries that are much larger on the important list of serious global war due to their industrial bases. Attention was appropriately diverted. people moan, but they do not put things into context.
It is easier to complain than to understand and even harder to bring forth solutions.
you are being guilty of this by far.
Know the facts before posting moron.. Afghans are not Arabs and Pakis are not either
The Taliban closed down a school for boys? I wonder what their reasoning was? On the face of it, and probably no matter what reasoning, it's absurd and evil.
I really hate to say this, but I think there may come a day when those mountains in between Pakistan and Afghanistan (because they're really neither country, right?) will have to be carpet-bombed or nuked. Scrubbed clean. Hopefully they can somehow be negotiated with, but I don't think anyone's holding their breathe for that.
Yes, that is horrible to say, and it's not like I really want to see it happen. But these people are vile. They want to deny a child a right to an education? So that they're ignorant and stupid, conform to the Taliban's despicable ideology, and help spread it? No, I don't think so.
Almost all the countries in the region agree on the fact that China and Pakistan are the major problems, split them into smaller countries and give them democracy and let them grow, all the problems of EAST and WEST will be solved.
You're post makes no sense and is factually wrong. There is not group in Afghanistan called "Daris." Dari is the language or dialect of Farsi commonly used in Afghanistan. The Afghan president, half his cabinet, and most of his provincial governors are all Pashtun.
Pakistan wants an Islamist government in Kabul, because only an Islamist government will reject an alliance with Hindustan (aka India). Such a government would also be weak, internationally marginalized, and therefore dependent on Pakistan.

With his sculptural heels, innovative shapes, distinctive material and vertiginous stilettos he has forged ahead as a true visionary. Kirkwood began his career working with milliner Philip Treacy, and by 2005 he had won the Condé Nast 'Footwear Emerging Talent of the Year'. His refusal to design flat soled shoes as well as his love of glamour caught the attention of the fashion press and he was soon designing collections for Gareth Pugh, Chloe and most famously, Rodarte. Kirkwood's main ambition is to build upon the silhouette of the shoe, focusing on integrating decorative embellishments into the structure. This season head to Nicholas Kirkwood for killer heels with strong, geometric lines.

Okay like I said before, I am newbie, and I have never officially been to a range. My gun shooting has always been out on oil leases, handgun and skeet. So since I going to be getting my CHL soon, and for handgun training, I am getting a membership to the only range around here with an hour's drive of where I live. So I have seen a lot about range bags and the like. So what do I need in mine? Eye and Ear Protection is a no brainer. So what do I need starting out, what do I need to shoot for, and feel free to post pics of yours!

I keep mine fairly simple. Eyes, ears, plenty of ammo, whatever guns I plan to fire and if I'm going to spend time behind a rifle or I'm testing a new load I usually take some cleaning gear to keep the barrel clean so there are fewer variables. With pistols I don't usually worry about it, I'm not trying to bench rest a pistol at 25 yards...
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline... "the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
I take my pistol and ammo. Then I have my spotting scope including my tripod, since we shoot 25meters and rifle at 100meters it`s easier to see how I hit the target. The targets are fix mounted at 25 meters. Pen and paper to make some notes Eye and ear protection, cleaning gear for the pistol just in case and a set of small screw drivers incase something needs to adjusted.
I like that spotting scope. I gotta get me one now.
Extra ear plugs, it seems there is always a spectator without. Depending if it's a pistol or rifle day, the spotting scope and tripod. Staple gun and extra staples, and/or thumbtacks for hanging targets. Tape or a good pen to mark the hits in an effort to make targets last longer. Boxes of ammo, basic field cleaning gear, including required tools. Stick on targets, sometimes they fit the bill (I like the ones that change color when you hit them). A bottle of water or other cold drink, and some tidbit to eat (granola bar or trail mix). I take a cheapo dollar store towel to lay out on the bench in the event I have to take a gun apart, easier to keep parts together and clean. The multitool is on my belt at the range. After a few trips you'll find out what you need or don't need. Be sure to throw a folding chair in the car.
@ SGT-Miller, got that for my B-Day last year fom my parents. I like to use it, since it spares me having to walk to the target so often. Also, when my wife come to the range aswell, she dosn`t like to shoot, but she will be my spotter and tell me how my hits are, so I don`t have to lower the pistol, but only have to adjust the aim..... I havn`t tried it on 100meters yet, since my friend has his own scope and I shoot his rifles. Ken

I don`t know, what my parents payed for it, but depending on the magnafication you can get them from about Euro 60,-. The One I have is a 20 - 60 x 60 Zoom. So on 25 meters, I can leave the zoom on 20 and have a perfect view of the entire target. If you do long range shooting on targets over 100 mters, then you should get something like a 20-80 x 80 zoom.Here some links.NcSTAR 20-60x60 Spotting Scope Green Lens With Tripod / Laser NG206060G w/ FREE UPS 20-60x60mmTasco 20-60X80 World Class Spotting Scopes 80 mm WC206080 FREE SHIPPING Spotting Scope 20-60X80mm Hard Soft Cases Tripod Ken

The Committee on Evolutionary Biology (CEB) is a unique interdepartmental and inter-institutional graduate student training program dedicated to the study of Evolutionary Biology. Faculty and students in the program are engaged in interdisciplinary studies at time scales that range from single generations to the entire history of life and at organizational scales from the molecular to the global.
Jon Mitchell studies how ecological processes observed in the modern world have influenced the history of life. Most of his research has looked at the ecological radiation of birds, and how food web dynamics can predict extinction. He has collected data on fossil birds from China, Germany, and Belgium, while collecting information on modern birds from collections at the American Museum, Smithsonian Institution and especially the excellent collections at the Field Museum in Chicago. His results show how to best reconstruct the diet and habits of long extinct birds, how a bird's habitat choice influences the probability of preservation, and that birds diversified ecologically much faster than would be expected if modern birds alone were considered. His food web research has focused on testing models used by conservation biologists meant to predict extinctions, and applying them to the fossil record where we know what the actual extinctions were. By fitting models to the ecosystems present in one layer of rock, and seeing how well those models predict what species make it to the next layer of rock, he is working to further our understanding of how to predict extinctions and understand ancient environments.

YouTube - Chris Edwards on pay gap between federal & private workers on CNN I agree with John Derbyshire. It's the private sector that works for the gubmit. The environs of DC have been booming. Booming. My DOT buddy is going to retire at $125K with his two public sector pensions, military and DOT lawyer. He has every other Friday off, too. Additionally, his boss takes a day or two off each week. He says he has co-workers who don't pull their weight, but there's little that can be done. I feel like an idiot. I had a government job handed to me, but I walked away. Now I slave at two jobs to pay the bills and am worried about keeping them, my sanity, and having a decent retirement, which is very iffy. Children, work for the gov't!
The legacy costs for the military are very expensive and not often talked about... my bro in law got out at 39 years old with a pension, and medical care for him and his wife for life... But his will never change, due to the real power structure in this country, the military industrial complex...
You're absolutely right. We need to scale back on our military spending and bring the troops home from Europe and Asia. I couldn't agree more with you.
Good for you and your kids -- I'm sure the link will be a fine and dandy anger piece and all, but your basic conclusion is sound enough. The civil service is an honorable profession and one that is needed. As to your buddy the lawyer who "gets every other Friday off", the core schedule he works on is eight nine hour days and one eight hour days, for eighty hours in nine days - the equivalent of 10 eight hour days in a pay period. It's called an alternate work schedule (AWS). If your kids join the government, they'll be on the "new" retirement system, which has a small defined benefit pension, combined with a "Thrift Savings Plan," which is like a 401(K) plan. The match goes up to 4 1/2%, 100% on your first 4% of pay and 50% on the next 1% you contribute... so they'll want to start contributing early and grow that contribution. In the 90s, people did great with it. Mine's gone pretty much nowhere since I didn't start until the Bush years. But like most people I continue to contribute the 5% of income that gets the max employer match. If I didn't have debt I'd contribute up to the limit. For the first couple of years I always told people I worked with that I was evaluating them just like they were evaluating me (there's a 1 year probation.) I took a long time to finally "make the call" in my own mind, but as you see I am a proponent now of government service, not just because there is security right now in a down economy but because the work itself is needed and honorable. Good luck to your kids. PFnV
That would be interesting - if it weren't offered in a vacuum. I'd have to know what the average pension is for a non-government lawyer before I'd be able to agree that the pension received by the government lawyer was excessive, wouldn't I? Without a comparision the figure itself is relatively worthless. I do know that the average government lawyer makes less money than the average private sector lawyer. In May 2006, the median annual earnings of all wage-and-salaried lawyers were $102,470. The middle half of the occupation earned between $69,910 and $145,600. Median annual earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of lawyers in May 2006 were: Management of companies and enterprises $128,610 Federal Government 119,240 Lawyers In 2002, the median annual earnings of all lawyers was $90,290. The middle half of the occupation earned between $61,060 and $136,810. The lowest paid 10 percent earned less than $44,490; at least 10 percent earned more than $145,600. Median annual earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of lawyers in 2002 are given in the following tabulation: Management of companies and enterprises $131,970 Federal government 98,790 Salary, Wages, Pay: Lawyers Looks like the federal government is catching up with the private sector but it's still not there. The figures presented here lead me to believe that since a lawyer in the private sector has a higher annual salary than a federal lawyer does that it would stand to reason that the private guy's pension would also be higher. As for "he has every other Friday off," big deal. When I worked in the ER I only worked 7 days per 14 day pay period. But I still worked a 40 hour week. How, you ask? 12 hour shifts. MrPFnV has already explained "flex time" to you. Quit trying to pawn off a 9 day pay period as anything less than 80 hours of work, ok? It's false advertising and like all things false it doesn't fly well. Your last statement cracked me up. "He says he has coworkers who don't pull their weight but there's little that can be done." I don't know where you work but I still feel pretty confident that you, along with every other working individual in the world, can make the same statement. Lazy co-workers are hardly limited to the federal government - and they're just as protected by HR rules, Union Rules, bosses who fall for their line of BS and corporate legalese as government employees are. My advice to you is this: If you want your child to grow up and collect a military pension advise him or her to join The Army or The Marines. We'd all like to see our kids in Afganistan, Iraq or any other future war zone, wouldn't we? Hell, if you're young enough, join up yourself. That way you, too, can collect a big fat military pension after 20 years - if you live long enough, that is.
By the way, the Federal government has done at least 2 other things of note in the last few years: 1) The mantra of "contract it all out" - for easily replicable, non-governmental work, it is policy to contract out to the private sector. That means that the private sector gets a lot of jobs that anybody can do so that FTEs aren't added by the Feds; 2) Under Bush, the Pentagon, DHS, and some other agencies were put on "pay banding." Under pay banding, you could earn a very high total compensation, or theoretically a lower base compensation, than on the general schedule. It is possible that this system ends up being inflationary for those departments using it, since it is dependent on poor performance to dip below the GS equivalent salary, and since the possibility of a very significant bonus exists (in the 30-40% of salary range I believe.) It was a Bush innovation to bring to bear the great wisdom of the Private sector in how they use bonuses to incentivize good performance. You know, like AIG did. Now: in terms of (1), if you have a greater incidence of jobs anybody can do in the private sector -- let's say someone who pumps gas or flips burgers -- you are eliminating a disproportionate pool of lower-paid jobs from the Federal ranks. Similarly, at the "higher" end, there are a great number of Feds (probably including your brother-in-law) who could earn more in the private sector. The problem in several key areas is not enough supply (of employees) for the demand (in jobs), not vice versa. PFnV

John Legend's Fiancée Chrissy Teigen 'Very Relaxed' About Wedding
We already knew Chrissy Teigen was chill, but we didn't know she was this chill!
The model/foodie/Twitter comedian — who is engaged to singer John Legend — reveals that yes, there's still a wedding on the way … but she isn't stressing.
Why is she not freaking out? "[You don't] when you aren't doing it!" Chrissy, who was dubbed by Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood issue as the "Subtle Siren," joked to On Air with Ryan Seacrest. "I mean he's so busy. John has an album coning out soon and he's going on tour this summer, so we decided to just keep it very relaxed. We don't have any save the dates yet, we don't have anything!"

Although Chrissy may not have every detail down, she did reveal they've locked in a date and it'll definitely be a getaway and a destination wedding.
We can't wait for this couple to make it official!

This weekend may be dominated with one of the biggest music festivals of the year, but in Hamilton there was only one T in Park and that was the terrific Sir Tom Jones.
The voice of the Valleys left Lanarkshire ladies swooning as he performed at Hamilton Park Racecourse on Friday (July 6).
Following sets from Scottish singers Carrie Mac and TJ Bilham, the Welsh powerhouse opened with Hit or Miss, a track from his latest album Spirit in the Room.
From the wild audience reaction, it was clear that Sir Tom was a hit and as he smoothly moved into Mama Told Me Not to Come, it was clear that the Hamilton crowd were glad he'd arrived.
Check out all the pictures from the night in our Sir Tom Jones gallery.
Sir Tom, who returned to television screens this year as a judge on the talent show The Voice, said he was very happy to be in "Ha-mil-ton, near Glasgow" and called Andy Murray getting through to the finals of Wimbledon "a proud day for Scotland."
It is hard to say if it was pride I felt as the Hamilton Park audience joined in with his flawless rendition of I'll Never Fall in Love Again, but they certainly were in strong voice.
As well as tracks from his new CD and the 2010 album, Praise and Blame, Sir Tom roared through his classic numbers with style, soul and more than a smattering of sex appeal…for a man of 72!
His deep voice reverberated throughout the race course as he boogied on down to Chills and Fever, Sex Bomb and You Can Leave Your Hat On.
This was to the delight of five super fans that had travelled for four hours from Elgin to see Sir Tom for the first time. The women, who were all wearing Tom Jones masks, revealed that they had "been waiting for this moment forever!"
One lady in the group – known only as Caroline – was wearing decorated underwear over her trousers which read 'Tom' on the front and 'Sex Bomb' on the rear.
The silver fox certainly wasn't short of female fans throwing underwear at the stage.
The 6,000 strong crowd was predominately female, ranging from glammed up gals in their 20s to mums in cowboy hats and feather boas and even a fair few pensioners in plastic rain hats.
The intermittent rain didn't deter the dancers, who waltzed around the grounds in their waterproof ponchos and swayed to sing-along favourites Green Green Grass of Home and Delilah.
The only disappointing element to the evening was the encore – too short at only two songs.
Sir Tom reappeared on stage to sing It's Your Thing by the Isley Brothers and closed the show with his hit version of Kiss, written by Prince.
Throughout the show, there were nods to other artists with renditions of Tower of Song by Leonard Cohen, Otis Redding's Hard to Handle and the folksong St James' Infirmary Blues, which the Welsh legend recorded with friend Jools Holland.
Proving that the septuagenarian singer, who has been in the industry for more than five decades, can turn his hand to a variety of musical genres with ease and always leaves the audience wanting more – be it covers, classics or his latest tracks.
And although he left me wanting for Burning Down the House, Sir Tom Jones definitely brought the house down in Hamilton.

text: Jennie Garth on '90210,' Amanda Bynes, Peter FacinelliBy Katie McLaughlin, CNNUpdated 1342 GMT (2142 HKT) December 11, 2012Garth on preparing for her first Christmas as a single mom: "I'm going to make it the best holiday for my girls that I possibly can."Story highlightsJennie Garth and former "90210" co-star Luke Perry are developing a TV series togetherOn Amanda Bynes: "You can't play sisters with somebody for four years and not love them"Garth, who split from Peter Facinelli this year, called the dating scene "awful"Jennie Garth is not ashamed to admit she gets hooked on "Beverly Hills, 90210" reruns on SOAPnet from time to time."Sometimes I'll be walking through a room, and I'll see that it's on, and I have to stop and pay my respects and watch it," she said. "Then I get sucked in. Just seeing the clothes and the makeup was so distinct to that era, you know? It's really fun to watch now. You can play drinking games to it, too, which is always a good time."While in New York City promoting eBay's Give One program benefitting Toys for Tots, the actress spoke to CNN about re-entering the dating scene, her former co-star Amanda Bynes and the role that launched her career: Kelly Taylor on "Beverly Hills, 90210."Over the course of the original "90210's" 1990-2000 run, Kelly was shot, raped, kidnapped, addicted to cocaine, joined a cult and almost died in a fire.While Garth never got top billing, Kelly was arguably the series' star, looking back on "90210's" decade-long run. In fact, Garth pointed out that the only episode that didn't prominently feature her character was the one where the gang went to Hawaii (because that's what you do when you're unemployed and just out of college).Just WatchedJennie Garth: How I got body, life backreplayMore Videos ...Jennie Garth: How I got body, life back 02:34PLAY VIDEO"This is the ultimate sacrifice for being a mother," said Garth. "The ultimate 'f--- you,' basically, from my show. I had a baby; they went to Hawaii. I didn't get to go because I had had a baby."Garth's character, Kelly, did get shot at the very end of that episode."Yeah I got shot, but really I was having a baby," said Garth. "Very symbolic. Become a mother, get shot. Become a mother, don't get to go on anymore vacations."The conversation quickly turned into a retrospective about the disasters Kelly endured during her "90210" tenure.The fire: "I had to wear that stupid scar makeup for months."Kelly's fellow burn victim: "The lesbian stalker, one of my favorites!"Drug addiction: "The coke days! Those were fun episodes. The dark eye makeup, black nails, I really went for it. Edgy."2013 will mark the 20-year high school reunion of the fictional West Beverly Hills High School Class of '93, and Garth isn't opposed to a potential reunion special."I've never been to a real reunion because I didn't graduate from a real high school so that would be pretty cool," she said. Garth was hard-pressed to come up with any on-set "90210" secrets that the fans don't already know, but she did come up with something rather shudder-worthy."There was a vending machine at The Peach Pit that had nuts and candy," said Garth. "You know those ones where you put your quarter in and out comes a handful? It was maggots. There were actual maggots crawling inside it. It was so disgusting."Another interesting fun fact: the house where the fire episode took place was the same house used for the exteriors of the Burnham family house in "American Beauty" and the Griswold family house in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." That house sits on the Warner Brothers lot in Burbank, California, and its windows and trimmings are often altered to suit filming.Garth, who turned 40 earlier this year, remains friends with her "Beverly Hills, 90210" co-stars -- yes, even Shannen Doherty. She also still sees Tori Spelling and Ian Ziering, but remains closest with Luke Perry."Luke and I are actually doing a show," she said. "We love working together so when we did that (Old Navy) commercial, he and I, specifically, have a very strong connection so we were like 'Let's make a show together. Let's work everyday with people we actually love.' So we're working on something now."Details about the still-in-development show remain under wraps, but Garth and Perry are developing, creating and producing it.Garth, who starred alongside Amanda Bynes on the sitcom "What I Like About You" from 2002-2006, has not spoken to Bynes since the young actress' legal woes began mounting this year."I'll always have a special place for her in my heart," said Garth. "You can't play sisters with somebody for four years and not love them and take them under your wing."Garth and her husband, actor Peter Facinelli, split earlier this year after 11 years of marriage. Facinelli is now romantically linked to actress Jaimie Alexander, his co-star on Showtime's "Nurse Jackie." Garth and Facinelli share joint custody of their three daughters -- Luca, 15, Lola, 10, and Fiona, 6 -- whom they remain utterly devoted to. "I have the girls for Christmas Day, and we're gonna have a traditional Christmas," said Garth, "then we're traveling to see some friends in Virginia and then their dad's going to be taking them for a few days to go skiing or something. It's all new, this splitting of the holidays. It's definitely new. Definitely new and foreign; but I'm jumping in with both feet, and I'm going to make it the best holiday for my girls that I possibly can."For all the "Twilight" fans wondering whether Garth has seen Facinelli's latest movie, "Breaking Dawn - Part 2":"I haven't," she said. "My girls are all fans, and I support them loving it and loving the movie that their dad's in but, no, I haven't seen the new one."Garth also admitted she hates being back on the dating scene."Who wants to date," she said. "It's awful, and then add to it being photographed while doing it, and the scrutiny that that entails. It's impossible."Garth also took the opportunity to clear up rumors that she likes mean guys."It went viral that I like bad boys, like mean people. No, I'm a little edgy so I like someone who has that edge. You can have that edge, and you might not notice it by looking at someone, but it's in there... I'm into nice guys!"Garth told CNN that she doesn't have a "type," per se."It's all about an energy," she said. "If there's an energy between two people it doesn't matter what you look like or what you do for a living or where you live."As the interview wrapped, Garth said she was heading straight to the airport."I'm gonna get a piece of pizza in the car on the way to the airport, maybe some crazy (street vendor) nuts. Hold the maggots."More from showbizWhat to look forward to in 2015The sexiest night on TVWhy we're obsessed with spiesPowered by Livefyre

"This was the best invite! All the guests loved it. Really easy to personalize and it was delivered in just 2 days (I had it rushed). The quality was great and the invite was nice and sturdy. Would order it again!"
"If you want a classy invitation for a gender reveal party, this is it. It's classy, but fun! I came up with a plethora of ideas for the party, surrounding this invitation. Just think: - Chalkboard theme - pink and blue flags - having it on a Sunday - triangle banners throughout.. This invitation really helped inspired me to be creative and hopefully have a successful party! Cheers to tinyprint and the designer of this invitation."
"This invitation was easy to put together and I like the different options to personalize with a few different colors, fonts and back designs. I'd looked everywhere for the non-typical baby shower invitations and this is the perfect place to get them. The printing quality and clarity of the design was wonderful and the mommy who is the guest of honor is pleased. I was a little disappointed in the paper it was printed on as I had pictured something a little more sturdy but it was still good quality paper. I'll definitely be coming back for future showers I throw!"
"These cards served our theme perfectly!! The quality of paper was just thick enough so it did not bend when mailing and everyone of our guests loved it. My boyfriend picked out the invitations and he did a great job. It was gender neutral which is what we needed and was unable to find in stores and it was a great way to keep everyone guessing without giving any hints as to what we were having. Absolutely Love this product, If I could upload a picture of our baby shower I would. :)"
"I absolutely loved these they turned out just the way I wanted them to. The only problem I have is that the rsvp website link did not work."

Police are keen to trace a man who drove a red car, with a green or blue rear door, following an incident in Higher Drive, Oulton Broad last night (Tuesday)
A 12-year-old girl was walking along the road, north of Gresham Avenue, about 6.20pm yesterday when the car pulled up alongside her and the driver – a man described as in his 40s to 50s, with scruffy dark hair and a dark beard – tried to engage her in conversation through the open window.
The girl continued on her way and then hid so she couldn't be seen.
The man in the car then drove past her and the girl returned home to report the incident.
Officers are asking the man or anyone who recognises either his description or that of the vehicle, to call PC Kevyn Durrant at Lowestoft police on 101.

Thursday, August 22, 2013
RYE — Officials closed Wallis Sands Beach in Rye Tuesday after what may have been a shark was sighted in the water, and now experts are advising the public about what to look for when they suspect they have spotted one.
Now, in the wake of the sighting, New England aquarium is releasing information to help make the public more aware.
For officials in vessels, see if they can measure the approximate length of the animal against landmarks on their boat. How does the animal respond to the vessel being nearby? Does it dive or stay at the surface?
Shark researchers generally consider blue sharks a timid species, but they have been implicated in a few attacks involving people globally.
Another identifying feature is that their gill slits are very long and extend almost to the top of their backs.
Actual Incidents of Injuries by Marine Animals on the N.H. Seacoast — Injuries to people caused by marine animals are very rare, yet ironically recent incidents in N.H. do not involve animals that we would normally think of. Just a couple of years ago, dozens of people suffered stings when a lifeguard removing a dead lion's mane sea jelly from the beach accidentally released its stinging cells into the water. A few years ago, a well meaning local resident was bitten by a harp seal yearling in the winter when she tried to pick it up and return it to the water. More than a decade ago, several swimmers were bitten in the legs during a fish feeding frenzy in shallow water. The culprits were not sharks but rather a school of bluefish that were wildly feeding on some trapped herring close to shore.
Enjoy the ocean, but do realize that most often the real risk to our own safety begins and ends with ourselves. |
