Thanx, I like reading your stuff on here. I haven't read your books but am curious about your Center Counter one. Where can I get it?
It is Center Counter Uprising. When it was published, it was mostly new theory. It is still available on Amazon
While that theory is still intact there are several books which are larger and more up to date on theory. So I would suggest one of those.

Brixton slavery case: couple accused of keeping women captive ran Maoist sect in the 1970s
Published: 25 November 2013
Updated: 21:05, 25 November 2013
The suspects accused of holding three women as slaves for more than 30 years can be revealed today as a couple who ran a bizarre Maoist sect in south London.
Aravindan Balakrishnan, 73, and his wife Chanda set up a notorious communist collective and were well known to the police and the security services.
They were arrested last week after three women were rescued from a flat in Brixton after suffering years of "physical and mental abuse" allegedly at the hands of the couple.
The couple have now been linked to 13 properties across the capital while Lambeth Council faced increasing questions over their past contact with the pair.
Police carried out house-to-house inquiries over the weekend in and around Peckford Place, Brixton where the three women were found.
The three alleged victims - a 30-year-old Briton , a 57-year-old Irishwoman and a 69-year-old Malaysian - are said to have been kept in "invisible handcuffs" by the couple and only allowed to leave the flat under their control.
The suspects, who have been bailed, came to police attention after setting up a notorious communist squat in Acre Lane in Brixton in 1976 called the Mao Zedong Memorial Centre where their group, the Workers' Institute of Marxism-Leninism- Mao Tsetung Thought (- later Mao Zedong Thought -) operated from.
Balakrishnan, a former member of the Communist party of England, who was known as comrade Bala, was expelled from the party in 1974 because his faction "attempted to put themselves above the discipline of the Party".
The couple began recruiting women from other far-left groups and held lectures and film evenings.

London 'slaves' lived in a 'collective': details of captivity emerge as police make house-to-house inquiries in Brixton
There are reports that Balakrishnan had been "politically detained since 1971 in Britain."
Oxford University Professor Steve Rayner, director of the institute for science, innovation and society, researched the group in the 1970s.
He told the Standard: "They were a tiny, very tight-knit group clearly under the spell of their leader 'Comrade' Balakrishnan. Their membership was overwhelmingly overseas in origin. "Most were foreign students who seemed to have difficulty adjusting to life in the UK. They refused to recognise the legitimacy of the state and maintained a hostile attitude towards the establishment and towards the rest of the far-left in Britain at that time.
"Their ideology was profoundly detached from reality. In my article on the organisation I described them as a millenarian sect. Their bookshop in Brixton – the Mao Tse Tung Memorial Centre – closed around 1978. I had assumed that they had sunk without trace until this recent news."
The number of properties associated with the couple, of Indian and Tanzanian origin who came to the UK in the 1960s, suggest that they were moving around to avoid the attention of the authorities.
At one time they were said to live in a property in Herne Hill where a neighbour recalled an incident in which a woman died after falling from a window.
There were increasing questions today over the role of Lambeth Council after claims that social workers missed 'multiple' opportunities to rescue the youngest alleged victim, known as Rosie.
Social services were first alerted to the case 15 years ago, when police asked them to pursue suspicions Rosie had never attended school.
Today it emerged she had been assessed by Lambeth social services as recently as in 2010 and 2011, following two separate spells in hospital.
It is not known whether she was admitted as a result of physical abuse she claimed to have suffered in secret letters written to a neighbour.
A source told the Standard that Rosie was assessed because she suffered from an ongoing disability caused by what they described as 'an early-life event'.
Social services were helping put together a care package to enable her to return to the house in Peckford Place.
Council sources said it was an "extremely complex" operation to establish exactly what contact social services and other departments had with the alleged victim.
A source said: "We don't yet know the extent of contact with the victim. We are just scratching the surface – it is extremely complex. We are having to trawl records that go back many, many years."
Rosie is said to have written letters to a neighbour, telling of her life as being "like a fly trapped in a spider's web".
The woman became infatuated with neighbour Marius Feneck, 26, reportedly writing him more than 500 letters in seven years.
One letter apparently tells of how she suffered "unspeakable torment" behind locked doors and windows, and of how she was terrified that her captors - "these evil criminals... who dare to call themselves 'my relatives"' - might do something to him.
Leader of Lambeth Council, Lib Peck said: "Everyone has been horrified and shocked by the reports of three women allegedly being held against their will in Lambeth. It is vital that the police conduct a thorough investigation into these extremely complex and serious allegations and that the women receive support following their appalling ordeal. We will offer any assistance the police require to ensure there is justice for the women."
Metropolitan police commander Steve Rodhouse said that two of the women had met the male suspect through a "shared political ideology" and lived together in what he described as "a collective".
The case came to light after the Irish woman rang the Freedom Charity last month to say she had been held against her will.
The Met said that part of the agreement on October 25 when the women were removed from the address was that police would not take any action at that stage.
All three women are now in the care of a specialist non-governmental organisation.
Some 37 officers from the Met's human trafficking unit are working on the case.

Ex-Brighton choir teacher charged with soliciting student
COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS — A former Brighton High School teacher has been charged with soliciting a student and attempting to view pornography at school.
Steven Richard Smith, 39, was charged Thursday in Holladay Justice Court with electronic communication harassment, attempting to access pornography on school property and sexual solicitation, all class B misdemeanors.
Smith was a music and choir teacher at Brighton. An 18-year-old male student, a senior, "was offered opportunities via text in exchange for a sexual act," Cottonwood Heights Police Chief Robby Russo said.
Smith resigned immediately after being interviewed by detectives and the school, the chief said. Russo did not expand on what "opportunities" were offered.
The teacher resigned on Feb. 15, according to the Canyons School District. Police say the alleged crimes happened between March 1, 2011, and Feb. 22, 2012.
Smith is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 12 in Holladay Justice Court.
A charge of sexual solicitation involves a defendant who "paid or offered to pay or agreed to pay another person a fee for the purpose of engaging in an act of sexual activity."
Police were contacted by an unnamed person who reported that inappropriate communication had occurred between Smith and a student. Detectives contacted school administrators, who turned over the man's laptop, said Cottonwood Heights Police Sgt. Gary Young.
Pornography was found on the computer, he said. The porn was not of the alleged victim, but rather adult porn that would otherwise be legal if not for detectives alleging that it was viewed on a school computer and possibly on school property, according to the sergeant.
The teacher's cellphone was also seized and inappropriate texts were found, Young said.
Smith was hired by the district on Dec. 21, 1999, and spent his entire time teaching at Brighton.

Football: Forest still need fresh recruits
Tottenham Hotspur 0 Nottingham Forest 1
Monday 03 March 1997
Two days into the job, Bassett could have brought little more to the proceedings than his sometimes charmed life in Premiership struggles ("I did make an observation or two at half-time because Stuart couldn't really breathe"), but the return from suspension of the inspirational Pearce most definitely lifted the side. That, crucially, may have had something to do with the weight of responsibility being lifted from the caretaker manager's shoulders.
While Bassett stressed that it was still a joint managership effort and that Pearce would have the final say in team matters, one can predict that the captain will soon be relinquishing his role as caretaker in order to take care of his playing performance for club and country. "He [Pearce] knows he can always be Forest's manager in a few years' time - when I'll probably be dead," said Bassett. "I don't want to be a tired old bastard of 60 running around in a tracksuit."
Much will depend on how wisely Bassett spends his money when, for the first time in his life, he is let loose in the sweetshop with pounds 16m in his pocket. Despite the sweet economy of a victory derived from just one shot at goal, beautifully taken though it was by Dean Saunders, strengthening the attack must be Bassett's first priority.
Gerry Francis, the Spurs manager, will envy his spending power. Not that he has not had his own financial backing from Sugar, it just has not been there in large enough sums when he needed it. Spurs' seventh defeat in nine games, he admitted, was taking them into "areas in which we don't want to be."
Unlucky as Francis has been with injuries, it is now becoming something of a lame excuse, if you excuse the pun. There was enough quality in the side on Saturday to have disposed of even such resilient opponents as Forest, but their finishing was lamentable, even if Tommy Wright in goal did have a stormer in his last match before joining Manchester City today. The last time the Northern Ireland international played that well was when he repelled Spurs' soul-mate Jurgen Klinsmann and company in Nuremburg earlier in the season.
Obviously, with Darren Anderton, Chris Armstrong and Ramon Vega restored to the side, Spurs would be a force with which to be reckoned, but it seems as soon as one gets fit another suffers a relapse. It might help if Francis knew in advance who was going to be available. On Saturday Anderton, who was expected to play, did not and Teddy Sheringham vice- versa. Now they have Andy Sinton, carried off with a bad shin injury, doubtful for tomorrow's match at Sunderland. So it goes on.
Goal: Saunders (17) 0-1.
Tottenham Hotspur (3-5-2): Walker; Scales, Campbell, Calderwood; Austin (Rosenthal, 72), Howells, Nielsen, Sinton (Dozzell, 58), Wilson; Iversen, Sheringham. Substitutes not used: Carr, Allen, Bardsen (gk).
Nottingham Forest (4-4-1-1): Wright; Lyttle, Chettle, Jerkan, Pearce; Allen (Phillips, 85), Cooper, Haland, Gemmill; Clough; Saunders (McGregor, 90). Substitutes not used: Howe, Roy, Fettis (gk).
Referee: J Winter (Cleveland).
Bookings: Tottenham: Austin. Forest: Pearce, Cooper, Lyttle.

Leanne Mitchell faces being dropped from BBC talent series
As the ratings-challenged BBC talent series The Voice splutters to its second season final tomorrow night, I hear there is bad news looming for last year's champion, Leanne Mitchell (right).
I am told that her Universal label, Decca Records, is preparing to drop her after her first three singles were embarrassing flops and she sold fewer than 1,000 copies of her first album, entering the chart at a lowly number 134.'She may have won the first series of The Voice, but sadly it's now abundantly clear she has no future as a successful recording artist,' a Universal insider tells me.
The timing of the news could not be worse for The Voice producers, who are desperate to prove that the show can still create a music superstar, despite overwhelming proof to the contrary.Show staff are desperate for Northern Irish vocalist Leah McFall, who is being mentored by American rapper will.i.am, to win the show this year because they believe she has the best chance of launching a credible music career.
Meanwhile, the quartet of highly paid coaches on The Voice — Sir Tom Jones, Jessie J, will.i.am and Danny O'Donoghue — are set to issue producers with an ultimatum.I'm told they will demand that all four of them are re-employed for next year's third series or they will quit en masse.This puts executives in a difficult position. There is growing feeling that the show's personnel needs a change in order to increase ratings, which have slumped to fewer than five million in recent weeks from a peak of eight million.
But Sir Tom has insisted: 'The four of us make a great team — one without the other wouldn't work.'But my Voice source says: 'The producers know the show needs a real shake-up.'Jessie is incredibly unpopular with viewers and Tom looks bored the majority of the time. Something has to change.'Returning X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne has made it clear her £1.5 million comeback to the ITV talent show will be short lived.
The controversial wife of rock star Ozzy agreed to return for the tenth series of the show, on which she was one of the original judges alongside Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh.However, sources close to the 60-year-old insist she has warned show bosses it will only be for one series.A friend explains: 'Sharon's life is in Los Angeles and she hasn't been prepared to give up her full-time job as a panellist on chat show The Talk for The X Factor. Her American network CBS agreed to let her balance both for the next few months, but there's an understanding it will only be for this year.
'She felt it was appropriate for her to return for the tenth anniversary and she needed the money, but long-term The X Factor isn't part of her plans. She wants to go in this year, stir things up, cause a lot of trouble and swan off in a blaze of glory.' – DailyMail

What does it take to win in the littoral? Start with knowledge.
Naval warfare in littoral waters is very different from open ocean operations. The U.S. Navy is dominant in "blue water" scenarios, but less so in the littoral, naval experts say.
"We are good at blue water operations, but we are not that skilled in fighting and operating in the littoral waters in places like the South China, the Baltic and Black Seas as well as the Persian Gulf," said Prof. Wayne Hughes, a retired U.S. Navy captain who teaches at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, Calif., and author of Fleet Tactics and Coastal Combat, published by the Naval Institute Press.
NPS has established a new Littoral Operations Center (LOC) to focus on the global littorals and facilitate the U.S. Navy's transition to security and combat missions in the "green water."
"The LOC will conduct and promote the study of U.S. Navy and allied partner nation policy, strategy and technology necessary to deal with conventional, irregular and criminal threats in these crowded and cluttered coastal waters and their adjacent lands," said LOC Director, NPS Senior Lecturer Dr. Kalev Sepp.
According to Sepp, the littoral is where hydrography, geography, commerce, fishing, mining, political boundaries and claims and military maneuver and sustainment issues converge, to complicate both the offense and the defense, and to place exceptional demands on naval, aerial and land forces that must operate, fight and influence events there.
The U.S. Navy is not only acquiring a large number of the reconfigurable focused mission littoral combat ships (LCS), but also the DDG 1000 guided missile destroyer, which is also optimized to operate in the littoral.
To gain that expertise, Hughes said the U.S. Navy needs to learn from those with the experience, like the Swedish navy.
"Driven by the small size of their armed forces and the extent and intricacy of their coastline, the Swedes have integrated all their services in a comprehensive littoral anti-access system," Sepp said. "They have achieved a degree of jointness that, given our force reductions, we would do well to closely examine."
"The Swedes have a very different view of the near-shore or littoral zone. The U.S. Navy looks at it as an area that we travel through quickly to get Marines on shore. The Swedes do not draw hard dark lines between the land and the water in the manner that the U.S. Navy tends to … they see it in an integrated way, how they got to that and managed that integration is something that we want to be able to draw upon," said Sepp.
"The U.S. and Swedish approaches to littoral warfare present two unique yet coupled perspectives … The U.S. has been primarily concerned with access via the global commons for brief periods of time, such as during an amphibious assault," said retired Swedish Naval Capt. Bo Wallander. "The Swedish Navy, while increasingly active in coalition forces around the world, has been primarily concerned with its national existence while operating adjacent to the overwhelming threat of the Soviet Union for decades."
According to the Swedish Navy Commander of the Third Naval Flotilla, Captain Magnus Jönsson, the littoral environment can mean several things. "It is the archipelago around Stockholm, and it is the Baltic, and it is the waters on the west coast of Sweden. These are all littoral environments—as opposed to the blue oceans like the Atlantic—but they are not the same. When we talk about littoral warfare, the Baltic is the open sea from our perspective. The more extreme littoral would be the archipelago, starting, more or less, at the beaches."
The littoral waters of the Baltic and Sweden's west coast are challenging. There are 100,000 islands. Salinity and temperature vary greatly. "We have different layers, with currents in one direction on the surface, and three meters down, there's a totally different direction of the current. The situation underneath the surface is strange and it's hard to operate in the Baltic. Our experience is working in these kinds of waters. There are not many other nations in the world that deals with these kinds of waters as their natural habitat," said Jönsson.
"Our littoral operations involve complex traffic situations and waters close to land where a lot of different threats can occur in a very rapid manner. You don't have much time to think about things – you have to react and react the right way to stay alive," says Swedish Navy's Chief of Staff Rear Adm. Jan Thörnqvist.
The LOC will hold its inaugural war game planning conference on 25th, followed by an LCS innovation workshop, in Monterey.
Thörnqvist is encouraged by the establishment of the LOC. "I think it's very important there is a place with skilled people that can do war gaming in the littoral environment, and who are adding the right inputs to a game like that. You can do gaming anywhere, but if you don't have skilled people with knowledge of that kind of environment, the result would be useless."
"We have limited resources to have people studying about what we can expect 30 years from now. That's pretty demanding for a small navy. If you're bringing together a lot of competence from other parts of the world to study naval operations in the littoral, many nations can gain from that, as well," added Thörnqvist. "It would be useful to influence the development of new war fighting tactics and techniques; to evaluate what we are doing; to be able to game on it; and then have something brought back again so we can be better and better all the time and adjust to new differences."
Sepp said the Singaporeans, Norwegians, Australians, and many other allies also have extensive practice in "shallow-water" operations. "We can learn from all of them."
According to Sepp, the NPS Littoral Operations Center will enhance the U.S. Navy's integration of air, land, sea and undersea operations along the world's coastlines, through interdisciplinary research and development involving all the departments and schools at NPS.

Iran's oil exports fell in April for a second month, according to sources who track tanker movements, moving closer to levels allowed by November's interim deal on curbing Tehran's nuclear program.
The decline may reflect seasonally lower crude oil demand and U.S. pressure on some customers take less. Signs of higher Iranian sales since late 2013 have led to concern in Washington that a softening of sanctions has given Tehran's economy a boost.
"It looks like India has imported less in April - that could be due to a combination of more pressure from the United States and also lower crude demand at this time of year by Indian buyers," a tanker-tracking source said.
Iran's crude exports have averaged 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd) in April, said one of the sources, down from almost 1.3 million bpd in March. That would bring exports back down to the average 2013 level of Iranian imports.
Under an interim deal signed in November between Iran and six world powers - known as the Joint Plan of Action (JPOA) - that came into effect on Jan. 20, Iran's exports are supposed to be held to an average 1 million bpd through July 20.
Tim Wilson, of U.S. based think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) which backs tougher measures, said exports are still on course to exceed that level over the six-month period because of sharply higher sales in earlier months.
"Under that plan Iran was expected to maintain crude oil exports at the same levels as during 2013 with the State Department monitoring the aggregate over time," said Wilson.
"The State Department should now be having considerable concerns."
The Obama administration believes that Iran's oil sales will fall in coming months and average 1 million bpd over the entire six-month period.
Wilson of the FDD said, "In order to remain within the expected oil export figures, Iran will need to reduce their exports by almost 80 percent for the remainder of the JPOA period."
Besides seasonally lower demand, exports are also down as Iran has sent less crude to its ally Syria - one of the countries Washington does not sanction for taking Iranian oil - the tanker tracking source said.
A second tanker-tracking source said Iran's crude exports in April have shown a downward trend to below 1.2 million bpd from March's rate of 1.3 million bpd.
The sailings in April appear to be higher than those indicated by ship loading data seen by Reuters on April 17, which pointed towards crude exports of just 950,000 bpd.
The November deal, say industry sources, improved sentiment around buying Iranian oil by reducing political risk. The rising trend in exports since then alarmed backers of tough sanctions, who said Iran looked to be getting more relief than Washington had said it would under the agreement.
There is no generally accepted figure for the oil exports of many producers, including Iran. Information takes time to filter out from opaque oil and shipping markets, and consumer countries detail imports with a time lag or not at all.
The West's oil watchdog, the International Energy Agency, provides closely watched Iranian export figures and said global crude imports from Iran reached 1.65 million bpd in February, the highest since June 2012.
So far, the IEA has only published a preliminary March exports estimate of 1.05 million bpd, which it says will probably be revised up.

TEHRAN,Iran — An Iranian news website is reporting several suspects have been arrested over last week's killing of an Iranian nuclear scientist.
Ali Larijani, speaker of the Iranian parliament, said the suspects are being interrogated, and the investigation is continuing. He talked to Iran's state Arabic language TV channel Al-Alam, and his comments were carried on the Tabnak.ir site.
Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, an official in Iran's nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz, was killed in an explosion Wednesday after attackers attached a bomb to his car in Tehran.
Iran accused the United States, Britain, and Israel of involvement.
Washington denied any role in the assassination, and London condemned the killing of civilians. Israel has not commented publicly.
The West believes Iran is building nuclear weapons. Iran denies that.

Yeltsin hangs on to embattled deputy
Thursday 20 November 1997
but President Boris Yeltsin appears to have found a way of saving the man who is central to his privatisation plans.
President Boris Yeltsin, seeking to end a political scandal over book fees, approved a plan yesterday under which deputy prime ministers would give up additional ministerial posts, his office said.
Critics have charged that $90,000 (pounds 55,000) in advances paid to Mr Chubais and other government officials to write a book were actually bribes. Mr Chubais and the others have denied any wrongdoing.
The Kremlin statement appeared to be a compromise that would allow Anatoly Chubais to keep his job as first deputy prime minister, but would require him to give up his post as finance minister.
While Mr Chubais and other deputy prime ministers look likely to lose some of their titles, the changes would be largely cosmetic. Mr Chubais would almost certainly remain the government's chief economic policymaker.
Meanwhile, Communists and other hard-line opposition members of parliament approved a non-binding resolution yesterday calling for Mr Chubais to be removed from all government posts. Opposition forces have said that Mr Chubais' removal is a condition for passing the 1998 budget. But Mr Yeltsin has refused the demand so far and appeared unlikely to part with Mr Chubais, a man he considers essential to his economic reform efforts.
According to senior legislators, the Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin struck a deal under which the opposition, which dominates the Duma, or lower chamber of parliament, would no longer make Mr Chubais' complete removal from the government a condition for passing the budget.
But the Duma's resolution, approved last night, indicated that many members would not be satisfied with a deal that left Mr Chubais in Mr Yeltsin's inner circle.
Mr Chubais and several associates accepted the advances for a yet unwritten book on privatisation in Russia. Seeking to suppress the furore over the payments, Mr Yeltsin dismissed three other officials who were to co-author the book.
But the President refused to accept the resignation of Mr Chubais, whom opponents accuse of selling off valuable state properties for below market prices. Mr Yeltsin said Mr Chubais' departure would have negative consequences.
Boris Nemtsov, the other first deputy prime minister, said yesterday that opposition calls for the ousting of Mr Chubais were, in fact, aiding him. "The Communists, whether they mean to or not, are helping Chubais," he said. "They have forgotten that our president does not like it at all when he is pressured, especially when the Communists do it."

How CIOs can earn greater trust from the executive team
|| Print |
|Guest Blog
|Thursday, October 21, 2010
By Tom Cox
Preparing for my recent speech to members of the Portland chapter of the Society for Information Management, I discovered that their burning question was this: how can CIOs (the bulk of their membership) become more strategic -- how can they contribute even more effectively to setting strategy and direction for the entire company?
The story in the CEO's head is, "You can't run your own business, so why should I let you touch mine?" [1]
Thomas B. Cox runs Cox Business Consulting, Inc. and is creator of the blog and web radio show Tom on Leadership, aimed at CEOs and business owners. He has worked with IBM, Oracle, Tektronix, ODOT, Intel and others.

"Brandon McCarthy did not struggle vs the M's last year. he struck out 27 M's batters last year vs 3 walk, all were quality starts, just didn't get any run support."
1* Free Play Blues.
I think the home side is worth the price of admission in this spot. Both teams have for the most part played extremely well all year, but each is stumbling towards the finish line. In a situation like this, I don't think that home ice advantage can be overlooked and feel that it will ultimately help in deciding the outcome of this contest. After winning seven of nine, the Canucks have dropped two straight, including a 4-3 OT loss to Dallas on Saturday. To say this is a revenge game for the home side would be an understatement I think as Vancouver has won five straight in the series. The Blues will be hungry, they're just 1-2-2 in their last five and have lost four of six at home. I am going to call Vancouver's Eddie Lack and St. Louis' Brian Elliot a "wash" tonight, but note that the Canucks are just 4-5 (-2.1 units) following a loss by four goals or more in overtime this season. The desperation level in which St. Louis plays with tonight will be the difference, consider a second look at the BLUES in this one.AAA Sports

The recent op-ed in The Jerusalem Post ("Toward a dead end," February 8) by Dalia Itzik, chairwoman of the Kadima faction, is disingenuous. In the article the state of the present government and our parliamentary system are attacked, with a call for badly needed government reform.It is remarkable that of all parties, these words could have been written by a member of Kadima. As I am sure members of Kadima are aware, when the results of the last elections were known, Israel Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman called on Kadima and the Likud to create a government containing the three largest parties, with the sole purpose of electoral reform.When President Shimon Peres called on each party chairman to recommend a prime minister, Israel Beiteinu named Binyamin Netanyahu with the hope that Kadima could raise itself above petty politics to work for the good of the country.With a government of just three large parties, real reform could have been achieved. Once that task was accomplished, we could have immediately called for new elections and allowed the people to choose a leadership using a new, workable system.AT THE establishment of the state, the electoral system was understandably created to cater to all the disparate groups in society. The system ensured that all groups – Jews and Arabs, religious and secular, Ashkenazi and Sephardi, socialists and liberals – received representation proportionate to their size and support. It was important that the government make the very tough decisions by a plurality of opinion.However, we now see that this system has outlasted its usefulness. Today, our broken system stands in the way of many areas of development.It is absurd that in the past two decades we have had almost as many defense ministers as years. It is impossible to achieve a consistent policy with such constant change, and this is to the detriment of our security. And the same is true of almost every ministry.

When Henry thought Jonghyun wanted to be paired up with him for We Got Married… XDDD
[WGM Preview] JongYeon ep. 3
Seungyeon was given a mission card that read "Find your husband who is in Japan," and had a mental breakdown. When Jonghyun saw Seungyeon near the airport's entrance, he started laughing with a 'mouth stuck to the ear' type of laugh. (And also apparently Jonghyun said something in the backstage interview about when he saw Seungyeon at the airport… gonna have to find out in the episode) Also, Jonghyun acted as a tour guide for Seungyeon while also showing off his fluent Japanese skills. Furthermore, he continued on with his complements by saying "You're pretty," and "It seems like your eyes are going to draw me in." After visiting places where Jonghyun had special memories, the two ate. Jonghyun played the guitar for her and they even rode around the park on a couple bicycle. Seungyeon, who rode behind Jonghyun, said, "I saw oppa's back for the first time. It felt very reliable and my heart fluttered." and blushed. Also, after seeing the present Seungyeon prepared for him, he said, "I got a heart attack. My heart raced while thinking about the fact that she prepared the present just for me." (We'll have to find out what she gave him on the episode.)

Anything you might conceive to do is pretty much available here. Food and drinks are available while on the island and you can have your lunch with iguanas and chickens. They aren't bothersome in the least and kind of refreshing to see humans and animals coexist. All sorts of water activities from floating and snorkeling to kayaking and riding wave...
Not only sunbathing, take the hike to the top of the hill for the view and explore the island. Following a short ferry ride, towels are provided to guests and fortunately the beach was not too crowded during our stay.
Lots of activities for the kiddos to do, chess, ping pong, bean bag toss and the WA scout about kept us busy one day.
Great views and calm ocean to swim in. Like most of Puerto Rico please bring you reef shoes not to get hurt on the old reef fragments in the ocean.
We were staying at the resort...
We have seen this island two ways, as guests at El Conquistador, which uses it as their private beach and when we chartered a boat for the day. We used Erin Go Bragh to charter the boat with friends. They take you to lots of islands including this one. The water is warm and blue, the beach is white and...
Is a very beautiful island close to Fajardo. El Conquistador rents it and uses it for it's guests. There are many amenities like restaurants, mini-golf, horseback riding, hiking, beach volleyball, etc.
The beach on the left side of the dock is better than the one on the right, but everybody goes to the one on the right because that is...
Such a fluke visit it was for us, and the best visit of our trip to PR. You take 10 steps in the island and that's all there is to it. Such a pretty sight!! :) If anyone has the time and the chance, you MUST visit it.
Everything about it - yes!
Snorkeling was okay just go a little further beyond the beginning of the reef for the good stuff. We also brought our own liquor so just grabbed ice from the bar and were good to go!
Definitely take a trip up the hill for a nice quick hike
Plenty of seating to take in the sun or hide in the shade. Very clean beach. Offers bar, restaurant, bathroom etc.
Loved it, loved it, loved it! Suprised my wife with a b-day trip here last year. We departed from Fajardo on the East Island Cruise and when we got there it was breathtaking! The water was like bathtub water... very clear... standing near the shoreline you could see the little fish swimming around your ankles! Great for snorkeling! White sands...
Great place for a sandbar party if your in your 20's or 30's, or maybe if you just separated... Other than that humm, if you're planning a trip with your family go through the hotel side of the Island or keep going to Icacos.

Is the ferry from the big island free or not? Some reviewers say it's open to the public and others say only if you are staying at the hotel. We would like to be able to go on a Thursday or Friday before our cruise departs (on a Sunday). Thanks in advance! L
Did someone report the horse abuse to the humane society?
I'm heading to Puerto Rico in April and want to spend a day at Isla Palomino. I am not staying at El Conquistador. Is there any way that I can get to the island without using the hotel ferry? I've heard that if I go to Fajardo then I can hire my own boat/captain to take me there, but that sounds expensive and/or "sketchy". (I'll be with my 16 yr old daughter)...any ideas?
Does it cost to use the beach chairs on the island and are guests allowed to bring their own food/drinks? Thank you!
I am staying at La Concha, not El Conquistador... Can I still visit Palomino Island? Is it a hassle to get there- where is the ferry? Thanks!

Worst ride of 2010: Also easy: that terrible, terrible, morning-after-MLK-Day 4 ride. That one just might qualify as the worst bus ride of my life.

After ten years in the workplace I became a mother to three very beautiful daughters, I was fortunate enough to have been able to stay at home and spend my time with them as they grew into the young women they are now. I am still in the position of being able to be at home and pursue all the interests I have previously mentioned. We live in a beautiful Victorian spa town with wooded walks for the dog, lovely shops and a host of lovely people, what more could I ask for.

US Pastor Council Wants Everyone To Know Houston Mayor Annise Parker Is Gay
Back in 2009, Dave Welch of the US Pastor Council took the lead in opposing the campaign of openly gay Houston mayoral candidate Annise Parker but lost, leading Welch to apologize for letting our "position on the wall be breached by the enemy" while declaring Parker's election to be evidence "of cancer of the soul among the people."
So, in case you weren't aware, Welch is not particularly supportive of Parker's sexuality or her role in public office. And that is why, as the Texas Freedom Network reports, Welch's organization sent out an email announcing a new video aiming to expose Parker's nefarious agenda - a video that consists mostly of footage of Parker talking about equality and gving her partner a kiss on the cheek:
It is astounding to have to say that most Houston citizens – including most Christians and pastors – are still unaware of the radical nature of Mayor Annise Parker's commitment to imposing the full "San Francisco Style" Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, etc. agenda. … We have a sin-sick city and we need the power of God through Jesus Christ changing lives and changing City Hall!

39 Days to the 2010 Election: UPDATE
Since we first covered the exciting race between Pelosi Budget Chairman John Spratt and Republican Mick Mulvaney in June, we've seen continuous developments that suggest the GOP is in a prime position to win this November. Polling numbers show a dead heat and Spratt has been plagued with issues, ranging from comparing his opponent to Osama bin Laden to accepting tainted lobbyist donations.
It's clear that Spratt is losing his grip, and the clearest sign has been in his shirking of responsibility. As Chairman of the Budget Committee, Spratt is tasked with creating the entire federal spending plan – something he flat out refused to do this year. That means no long-term plan to cut spending, no long-term plan to decrease the national debt, no long-term plan to create jobs – and after November, will hopefully mean no more John Spratt in the House of Representatives.
With these developments, it's no wonder that non-partisan political handicapper Charlie Cook moved this race to the "Toss Up" column over the summer. Even though DCCC is trying to show a strong hand, reserving air time for Spratt in an initial attempt to provide cover to one of their longest serving members, its clear national Democrats are worried about Spratt's prospects and may end up pulling out of the district.
Needless to say, Mick Mulvaney has been running a strong campaign, never shrinks back from a fight, and even achieved the top level of "Young Guns" status in the NRCC's recruitment program. With your continued support, Mick will be headed to Washington as part of the new Republican majority, ready to tackle the fiscal mess caused by the Democrats and get America back to work.

DONETSK, Ukraine (Reuters) - The self-declared leader of pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine, Denis Pushilin, on Friday said he does not consider his men to be bound by an agreement between Russia and Ukraine requiring illegal groups to disarm and vacate buildings.
The Geneva agreement, signed by the United States, Russia, Ukraine and the European Union on Thursday, requires all illegal armed groups to disarm and end the illegal occupation of public buildings, streets and squares.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov "did not sign anything for us, he signed on behalf of the Russian Federation," Pushilin, head of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, told journalists in Donetsk.
"We will persevere until the end," he said, flanked by two masked men in the occupied building of the Donetsk city administration.
Ukraine announced a military-backed operation last weekend to flush out pro-Russian rebels who have taken over state buildings including police stations in the Donbass region, though the operation faltered when pro-Russian forces seized several army troop carriers.
The diplomatic agreement in Geneva was seen as the best chance for reducing tensions in the region.
Pushilin said his men will only consider leaving public buildings when the government in Kiev, which he said was showing no signs of fulfilling its part of the Geneva deal, does the same.
"As far as vacating of buildings and areas is concerned - everyone must leave them including Yatseniuk and Turchinov - as they also took them illegally," he said. "We are ready to do it after them."
Preparations for a regional referendum on increased autonomy from Kiev will go ahead as planned, he said.
"We are expecting nothing from Kiev," he said. "The date for referendum is not changing, no later than May 11."
Pushilin said any calls for pro-Russian separatists to disarm should be matched by a withdrawal of the Ukrainian military from the east Ukraine cities of Slaviansk and Kramatorsk.
"We do not want double standards," he said.

His pedigree is stellar. Gus is 5 years old now, and needs a home where his talent will not go to waste. A littermate is FC Ana von Heidbrink, so her pedigree is listed here. $1000.

Who's a Better Bad Girl, Kate or Naomi?
Who's a Better Bad Girl, Kate or Naomi?
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
They've both been at the root of a scandal or two, and now they appear together on the February cover of Vogue Paris.
Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell are perfect choices for the magazine's "Bad Girls" issue, looking fierce in Louis Vuitton. But does one supermodel outdo the other? After all, I'm not sure a true bad girl would allow anyone else to be on her cover...
Naomi Campbell

I found myself drawn to Naomi's face. She outdid Kate.

i agree with the person who said naomi is a bad girl and kate is a badass. two different things. kate seems like a nice girl while naomi is known for being b**chy. and i highly doubt that naomi is dating hugo chavez but if she is, who cares? doesn't make me like her less seeing that it doesn't affect me or the world in any way.
