The full extent of the CIA's interrogation and detention programmes launched in the wake of the September 11 terror attack was laid bare in a milestone report by the Senate intelligence committee on Tuesday that concluded the agency's use of torture was brutal and ineffective – and that the CIA repeatedly lied about its usefulness.
The report represented the most scathing congressional indictment of the Central Intelligence Agency in nearly four decades. It found that torture "regularly resulted in fabricated information," said committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, in a statement summarizing the findings. She called the torture programme "a stain on our values and on our history".
"During the brutal interrogations, the CIA was often unaware the information was fabricated." She told the Senate the torture program was "morally, legally and administratively misguided" and "far more brutal than people were led to believe".
The report reveals that use of torture in secret prisons run by the CIA across the world was even more extreme than previously exposed, and included "rectal rehydration" and… Continue reading

Politicians and pundits often use terrorism to promote the interests of their financiers. This fear mongering goes hand in hand with attempts at war profiteering, population control, and the concentration of political power. What many are beginning to discover is that deception is integral to the success of the terrorism business. That is, the official accounts of terrorist events are typically fraught with omissions of fact and the concealment of clues that point to the involvement of more powerful people. The success of these false accounts reveals important aspects of human nature and points to ways in which thoughtful people can help to overcome such challenges.
There will always be a few people greedy enough to lie to others for personal gain, but we can live with this. What we can't live with is large numbers of people lying to themselves because habitual self-deception is fatal. Long-term successful lies require motivated liars but also willing listeners and when millions or billions of citizens engage in such duplicity they make it difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to survive.
It's common to see people blaming the government or the media for lying and taking advantage. That's not surprising because, in general, politicians are highly evolved lying machines and the media is rewarded for telling the majority what they want to hear in ways that promote business interests. But what is really needed to overcome that pattern is to examine how lies told by… Continue reading

When neighbors went trick-or-treating at Terry Lee Loewen's house in Wichita last Halloween, they saw a quiet, unobtrusive, "normal" man. Two months later, federal authorities said they'd seen through the disguise and found a jihadist hiding in the suburbs.
Loewen "planned to die as a martyr" and was charged with trying to drive an explosives-laden vehicle onto the tarmac at Mid-Continent Airport, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said at the time of the arrest. An avionics technician, the then-58-year-old Loewen was really working on behalf of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, according to the authorities.
Yet contradictions in the government account suggest there might be considerably more to know about Terry Loewen and his alleged plot. Was Loewen a Walter Mitty whose dark daydreams bloomed into reality, as the FBI says? Or was he just a hapless suburbanite who chose the wrong online fantasy life?
The official story is this: Loewen decided to engage in terrorism only six months before his arrest, and immediately began devoting all his time to preparations for becoming a "lone wolf" suicide bomber. A letter allegedly written by Loewen and released by the FBI gave the reasons for his radical change of heart: "My only explanation is that I believe in jihad for the sake of Allah + for the sake of my Muslim brothers + sisters."
"I expect to be called a terrorist (which I am), a psychopath,… Continue reading

A decade after the 9/11 Commission suggested creating a unified communications network for first responders to use during emergencies, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has finally collected enough money to move forward.
The commission recommended that the federal government create a way for police and firefighters from different jurisdictions to communicate with each other in a crisis—something they couldn't do during the response to the 9/11 attacks.
Congress got into the act two years ago by passing legislation that authorized the FCC to reserve certain broadcast frequencies for public safety use.
The FCC, though, was left on its own to find funding for the new network, called FirstNet. So the commission auctioned off a band of wireless frequencies to telecommunications companies, which netted more than $11 billion to establish FirstNet.
The FCC only needs about $7 billion for the project, so the rest of the money is expected to go towards paying down the national debt.
Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Dish Network all registered to bid on the wireless spectrum, but the FCC has not announced the winners of the auction.
For additional background and context regarding interoperable communications, please see:

NEW CANAAN, Conn. (WTNH)– New Canaan's Mary Fetchet lost her son Brad on September 11, 2001. He had called her husband right after the first tower was hit; he was on the 89th floor of tower 2. That was the last time they heard from their 24-year-old son.
Fetchet, a social worker by trade, though grieving, started mobilizing to help other families and founded a 9/11 advocacy non-profit organization called Voices of September 11th.
She also launched the 9-11 Living Memorial Project so that the stories of those who perished could be told.
"We've collected over 70,000 images telling the story of the life of the person who died, not focusing on death, and it was a very therapeutic process for the families because with each photograph came a story or a remembrance of their loved one and the life that they shared with them," said Fetchet. "I think that is one of the most important projects that we've worked on, and we've shared copies of each of those photographs with the museum, so it's a major contribution to the memoriam exhibit that's at the 9/11 Museum in New York City."
"When somebody dies they're with you every moment," said Fetchet. "It's different somebody's alive, they're with you when they're with you, so I certainly feel that Brad and other people have provided some guidance along the way."
Fetchet also campaigned for the creation of the independent 9/11 Commission… Continue reading

Dear Supporter,
Several impressive developments over the last 18 months have lifted the 9/11 truth message into the mainstream news and public awareness. These developments include the Rethink911 campaign, CNN's coverage of the alternative 9/11 Museum Guide and outreach effort, Richard Gage's interview on C-SPAN, the debut of The Anatomy of a Great Deception, and the huge video billboard in Times Square depicting the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7.
Now there's a new opportunity that holds great promise.
Join Ray McGovern, Ramsey Clark, and 9/11 family member Terry Strada in New York City on Saturday, November 22, in their call to:
End America's Blindness . . . Restore Its Vision . . . Open the 28 Pages
The reference to 28 pages relates to congressional bill H.R. 428, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC). It calls for the release of 28 pages that were redacted (actually, excised) from the Joint Congressional Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 2001. The Joint Inquiry report dates back to 2002. Shortly after Rep. Jones' bill was introduced last December, a group of 46 U.S. senators wrote to President Bush requesting that the 28 pages be declassified and made public. Ever since, former U.S. Sen. Robert Graham (D-FL), who chaired the Joint Inquiry committee, has continued to demand the… Continue reading

The first person to fire a Hellfire missile from a Predator drone in combat and destroy a target writes here about his experience. Scott Swanson has never written about this before. Read on. The Editor.
Flying a Predator drone in combat is nothing like playing a video game. Take it from me, the first person to pull the trigger in a lethal missile strike from a Predator.
As one of the early Air Force pilots to fly that Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, or UAV, I cringe when people make snide comments about the "Chair Force." No, the pilot of a Remotely Piloted Aircraft can't hear his plane's engine, feel its motion, or smell that airplane smell; and yes, he (or she) has a joystick and throttle and a couple of TV screens in front of him. But there the comparison ends. Mentally, the pilot is inside a Predator, though the drone is half a world away. Emotionally, he is at war.
That was exactly how I felt one day in September 2000 when I saw Osama Bin Laden—or UBL, as we knew him—live on our Predator's video screen. I was sitting in the pilot's seat in our Ground Control Station (GCS) much of that afternoon. My sensor operator steering the camera was Master Sgt. Jeff Guay. As I orbited our Predator over Tarnak Farms, a dusty jumble of buildings in a mud-walled compound just outside Kandahar, Afghanistan,… Continue reading

In a greedy grab for blood money, a law firm representing sick and dying Ground Zero workers overbilled its legal partner by $36 million in expenses, newly released court papers allege.
The shocking charges call into question the estimated $50 million in additional legal expenses billed to 10,000 firefighters, police officers, construction workers and others who received more than $700 million in settlements for 9/11-related ailments.
An advocate for ill responders — John Feal, a Ground Zero demolition supervisor — demanded Napoli Bern be investigated by authorities.
"It's outrageous and disgusting," said Feal, claiming the majority of complaints he hears about legal representation relate to Napoli Bern.
The once-prestigious personal-injury law firm has been rocked by infighting over allegations of sexual improprieties and financial misconduct.
Napoli Bern has also been battling its partner law firm, Worby Groner, since 2012 over legal fees they shared in the 9/11 litigation. The two firms teamed up in 2004 to represent Ground Zero workers afflicted with cancer and other ailments.
The total settlements with the city and other defendants came to about $725 million. Before the 9/11 workers got their checks, though, various costs were deducted. The law firms then got a 25 percent cut of the remainder.
Napoli Bern and Worby Groner… Continue reading

A jihadist serving life in prison on terror charges brought in the wake of 9/11 has claimed the Saudi Arabian royal family helped finance the plot.
Zacarias Moussaoui, 46, says an unnamed Saudi Prince paid for flying lessons for him and the 19 terrorists who hijacked planes in the September 11 attacks in the run-up to the atrocities.
The incredible claims were made in documents filed to a federal court in Oklahoma, in which Moussaoui says a prince 'was assisting me in my Islamic terrorist activities… and was doing so knowingly for Osama bin Laden'.
He also said that bin Laden provided assistance from Saudi leaders in planning the attacks, and that he was involved in a plot to shoot down Air Force One with President Bill Clinton on board.
The Saudi government has flatly denied any involvement in 9/11. Moussaoui's own credibility is also suspect – as even Osama bin Laden has denied he had anything to do with his terrorist plots.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (KSTU) – A federal judge in Utah has indicated that he wants an investigation into whether the FBI tampered with a witness in a trial regarding the Oklahoma City bombing.
At a hearing on Tuesday, the judge stopped short of finding the FBI in contempt of court, according to KSTU.
Instead, he indicated that he would appoint a federal magistrate judge to oversee further investigation into the claims.
However, he ruled that the FBI failed to file a report on the allegations in a timely manner.
Jesse Trentadue is suing over the death of his brother, Kenneth, who he claims was mistaken for a bombing co-conspirator and killed while in federal custody during an interrogation.
Trentadue is asking for records, including videotapes that he claims show convicted bomber Timothy McVeigh parking a truck in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and leaving with someone else before the bomb went off.
Trentadue has claimed that the other person was an FBI operative.
"There's no doubt in my mind and it's proven beyond any doubt that the FBI knew the bombing… Continue reading

The terms "conspiracy theorist" and "conspiracy nut" are used frequently to discredit a perceived adversary using emotional rather than logical appeals. It's important for the sake of true argument that we define the term "conspiracy" and use it appropriately, not as an ad hominem attack on someone whose point of view we don't share.
According to my Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, the word "conspiracy" derives from the Latin "conspirare," which means literally "to breathe together" in the sense of agreeing to commit a crime. The primary definition is "planning and acting together secretly, especially for a harmful or unlawful purpose, such as murder or treason."
It was in this sense that Mark Twain astutely observed, "A conspiracy is nothing but a secret agreement of a number of men for the pursuance of policies which they dare not admit in public."
Conspiracies are common. If they weren't, police stations would not need conspiracy units to investigate and prosecute crimes such as "conspiracy to import cocaine" or any other collusion on the part of two or more people to subvert the law.
Unfortunately, too many people smugly chide "conspiracy theories" as if they imagine that such a derisive characterization reflects superior intellect—whether or not they know anything about the issue in question. It's a pitiful display of ego inflation and intellectual dishonesty, yet it appears to be a common approach preferred by those either short on information and critical thinking… Continue reading

An earlier version of this story stated that 28 pages of the 9/11 Commission Report are classified. In fact, the 28 pages were redacted from the report by the congressional joint inquiry into 9/11 intelligence. The story has been so revised.
"I loooove to pick on the Saudis," the South Carolina trial lawyer Ronald Motley said in a 2004 New York Times magazine cover story, "A Nation Unto Himself."
The U.S. executive and judiciary are less eager to tweak the House of Saud. But Motley's trillion-dollar 2002 claim against the Kingdom, captioned In re Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001, has experienced a slow-motion revival that culminated last month in the quiet filing of a devastating new complaint. The Sept. 15 amended complaint, filed by the late Motley's more sober co-counsel at Cozen O'Connor, only seeks some $200 billion for Saudia Arabia's alleged role in backing the 9/11 terrorists. The lively, 156-page narrative reads as a prequel to the 9/11 Commission Report, and as a much-needed corrective.
Exactly a week later, a jury in the world's first terror funding trial found Jordan's Arab Bank liable for funneling money from a Saudi state charity to Hamas during the Palestinian intifada. "The core issue in 9/11 and Arab Bank is the same," says Motley Rice's Jodi Flowers, who acts for the plaintiffs in both cases. "As one of the… Continue reading

"Some stories are just too true to tell."
This quote from the trailer of "Kill the Messenger," a film about the life of reporter Gary Webb, who wrote on the CIA's role in drug trafficking in 1996, sums up exactly why reporters like Webb are important, and why understanding the role of powerhouses such as the CIA and other government organizations is crucial in how we see ourselves within our own country.
The movie is a close, dramatic retelling of the life of Gary Webb, who, when he broke the story of the Nicaraguan drug cartel that transported drugs to Los Angeles, received intense support and intense critique. Eventually San Jose Mercury, the newspaper that Webb wrote for, backed away from the story fearing severe backlash. This effectively ended Webb's career. The most heartbreaking moment in Webb's story is the story of his death, which the film does address. In 2004, Webb was found dead, he has apparently committed suicide.
The film's main objective is to address the role of the CIA during the Reagan administration in supporting, or at least ignoring, the Nicaraguan cocaine trade.
"The [New York] Times' resistance to accepting the reality of this major national security scandal under President Ronald Reagan even predated its tag-team destruction of Webb in the mid-1990s, when he was alternately pummeled by the Times, the Washington Post and the… Continue readingOriginally published at The Intercept by Cora Currier on 10/9/14
Can the government make demands for data entirely in secret?
That was the question yesterday before a federal appeals court in San Francisco, where government lawyers argued that National Security Letters — FBI requests for information that are so secret they can't be publicly acknowledged by the recipients — were essential to counterterrorism investigations. The telecom company and internet provider that have challenged the National Security Letters (known as NSLs) still can't even be named.
Last year, in a sharp rebuke to the government, a judge found that the gag order that comes with NSLs violated the First Amendment. The nondisclosure rule "significantly infringe[s] on speech regarding controversial government powers," U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, of Northern California, wrote in March 2013. She also ordered that the FBI stop sending out NSLs entirely, but put the order on hold to give the government a chance to appeal.
The government, predictably, did appeal, and in arguments yesterday before the 9th Circuit, a Justice Department lawyer said that they would lose "an extremely useful tool" if the court upholds the ban on NSLs. (Documents related to the case can be found here.)
The letters, the reach of which was expanded under the Patriot Act in 2001, let the FBI get business records from telephone, banking, and Internet companies with just a declaration that the information is relevant to a counterterrorism investigation.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is representing the… Continue reading

At least three eyewitnesses spotted al Qaeda hijackers casing the security checkpoints at Boston's Logan Airport months before the 9/11 attacks. They saw something and said something — but were ignored, newly unveiled court papers reveal.
One of the witnesses, an American Airlines official, actually confronted hijacking ringleader Mohamed Atta after watching him videotape and test a security checkpoint in May 2001 — four months before he boarded the American Airlines flight that crashed into the World Trade Center.
The witness alerted security, but authorities never questioned the belligerent Egyptian national or flagged him as a threat.
"I'm convinced that had action been taken after the sighting of Atta, the 9/11 attacks, at least at Logan, could have been deterred," said Brian Sullivan, a former FAA special agent who at the time warned of holes in security at the airport.
The three Boston witnesses were never publicly revealed, even though they were interviewed by the FBI and found to be credible. Their names didn't even appear as footnotes in the 9/11 commission report.
But what they testified to seeing — only revealed now as part of the discovery in a settled 9/11 wrongful-death suit against the airlines and the government — can only be described as… Continue reading

Mystery solved, if there was any doubt: It was the CIA that hit the mute button in the war court earlier this year when a defense lawyer for the accused 9/11 mastermind began talking about the CIA's secret overseas prisons, the lawyer said Monday.
The Jan. 28 episode so embarrassed Army Col. James Pohl, the judge in the Sept. 11 terror case, that he ordered the kill switch unplugged, an order the agency apparently honored because no outside entity has censored the court since.
Prosecutors had only allowed the kill-switch operator to be identified by the codename "OCA," short for Original Classification Authority.
But Monday, attorney David Nevin, representing Khalid Sheik Mohammed, whom the CIA waterboarded 183 times, unmasked the OCA in open court while describing to the judge the slow pace of discovery in a Defense Department investigation of whether anyone else has the power to listen in on the war court, specifically their confidential attorney-client conversations.
"We recently learned that was the CIA, that CIA was controlling that location of the feed," Nevin told the judge.
And this time nobody muted him for uttering the initials of the Central Intelligence Agency
The strange censorship episode occurred in January just as Nevin was asking the judge to issue a protective order on whatever remnants exist of the CIA's secret overseas prison network. Pohl's the judge who similarly declared the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq a crime… Continue reading

Thomas ("Tod") Christopher Fletcher was born in Alameda County, California, February 27, 1952. In 1980, while at Berkeley, Tod married Susan Elizabeth Peabody, a graduate student and later a teacher of English Literature.
Tod enrolled in the Berkeley Masters program in Geography, where he completed his thesis in 1982 ("The Mono Basin in the Nineteenth Century: Discovery, Settlement, Land Use," 1982).
He then worked for several years towards his doctorate and completed all but his dissertation. But then a chronic illness, known as hypersensitivity to the environment, with which Susan had become afflicted, became so bad that she became bedridden. Wanting to take care of her himself, he could search for teaching positions only close to home. He taught at UC Berkeley until funding for the university was slashed, after which he taught at some junior colleges.
Tod published a book, "Paiute, Prospector, Pioneer: A History of the Bodie-Mono Lake Area in the Nineteenth Century" (Artemisia Press, 1987). In 2014, he was invited to give a lecture about this book at a conference to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the historic decision to protect Mono Lake. When he explained that he would not be able to attend, because he could not leave Susan for such a long period, the organizers told him that if he wrote the lecture, they would read it aloud, and this worked out.

Need decals for 72 scale U-96 as she was seen in the movie Das Boot. Squadron used to carry them but it looks like that was a few years ago.
Here is an example ( http://billweckel.com/2009/04/type-viic-u-boat/ ) of exactly what I am going for.
I had hoped to find a usable image online that I could just resize and print out on either paper or decal paper. But I have had no luck. All I find are photos of the actual boat in black and white and other depictions that are just not quite right.
Do any of you have suggestions?

Those interested in downloading Alien Arena 7.33, which is free software, can fetch it at PlanetArena.org...
Good update. The new binaries should work with Ubuntu now as well. If you run 64bit, then you either symlink the missing dependencies or compile on your own.
I downloaded the new version and unpacked it in my ~ folder.
I tried to start the game/binarie (crx) but all I got was that the game got stucked during the audio initialization.
I googled a little bit and found out that the openAl version in ubuntu 9.10 has a bug in it's OSS/PulseAudio backend(s).
I downloaded the recent version, compilied it (cmake/make/sudo make install in the "build" subdirectory) and copied the libs (which are in the "build" subdirectory, too after the compilation) into the /usr/lib directory, after I deleted the previous openAl files there.
It works now...but I thought that it should have been mentioned somewhere.
There is also a workaround for that bug mentioned here:

Vermont utility seeks renewable energy moratorium
JOHNSON — One of Vermont's largest utilities is calling on the state to impose a moratorium on renewable energy mandates.
The board of Vermont Electric Cooperative approved a resolution Thursday seeking a two-year moratorium and formation of a statewide panel that includes customers to develop a renewable energy transition plan.
About a dozen opponents of wind energy attended the meeting at the co-op's headquarters in Johnson, where the resolution was passed.
Co-op CEO Dave Hallquist said the resolution reflects the sentiment of its members who are concerned about finding a balance between rising electric rates and the adoption of greener energy.
Senators voted against a moratorium in the last legislative session. They say they will continue to press for another vote.MORE IN This Just InJOHNSON Authorities believe a drivers use of a handheld cellphone played a factor in a...

Although a child may have only one or two given names for official civil records, they may be given several names when baptized.
Given names are simple such as Juan or composite such as Juan Pablo. Composite names are considered single unit first names and not first and second names.
Parents give names that just appeal to them, honor relatives or saints, or are of traditional Spanish origin.
Many Spanish given names honor the Virgin Mary. Girls are frequently given the name Maria or Maria followed by a suffix name and boys are sometimes given the name Maria as a middle name. Girls with Marian composite names may use the suffix portion of their name as their main informal name. For example Maria de los Angeles, Maria del Pilar and Maria de la Luz, may go by the names Angeles, Pilar and Luz.
Although the first name within a composite name generally reflects the gender of the holder, the second name need not, as in Jose Maria or Maria Jose.

Simulation of Hygro Swelling Induced Stresses in Flip Chip Interconnects in a Stress-Sensitive Chip-on-Board Configuration
M. FretzOptics & Packaging, CSEM SA, Central Switzerland Center, Alpnach, Switzerland
Flip chip interconnections are used for the direct electrical connection of face-down electronic components like MEMS pressure sensors. The investigated bonding technologies are gold stud bumping in combination with anisotropic conductive adhesives (ACA) and solder ball bumping in combination with underfill in a chip-on-board configuration.
The modeled chip is an absolute pressure sensor based on silicon diaphragm technology. We present simulations with a special focus on sensor membrane stress effects due to hygro swelling of the ACA and the underfill.
The results are compared with simulations on thermally induced stresses in the membrane due to CTE mismatch of board, sensor, and ACA or underfill.

Back from Boracay!
I'm back! I'm still feeling the residual holiday languor though, so kindly pardon the slow posts. Our Boracay getaway was filled with sun (it was scorching!), sand, sea, delicious food, and wonderful company. Right now I'm in the middle of catching up at work (why is it so hard to get my worklegs back?) but I'll leave you with my highlights for this trip…
Hot sun, cool shakes – Boracay is famous for its shakes. Everything from "choco-vanilla-peanut-banana" (of which I was a big fan when I was younger) to simple fruit shakes. When the mercury rises there is nothing like an icy cold, fresh fruit shake – my favorite being ripe mango (heaven!). We also had watermelon, cantaloupe, and mango-strawberry. Mmmm…
C's Mexican fix – Mexican food is one of C's favorites, and none of the Mexican restaurants in Manila excite him. Strangely enough, this little island is home to one of the better Mexican restaurants we have come across, Mañana. Listening to C try and sales-talk the manager into opening a branch in Manila was also part of the fun.
New sunnies – I have this unhealthy obsession with cheap sunglasses (I always lose the expensive ones!), and in Boracay there are always hawkers going up and down the beach with racks of their wares. Buying new sunglasses is always a part of my trip.
Discovering Discovery Shores – The newest resort on the strip…and the only hotel from the Philippines to be included in the Small Luxury Hotels of the World guide. No, we didn't stay there…we just poked around, and tried to absorb the swanky-ness.
Fried doughnuts for 3 pesos apiece – Move over Krispy Kreme and all the rest…my favorite doughnut has always been the cheapy kind that they fry up in a big kawali (wok) of hot oil, and then coat in regular white sugar. I have loved these dense and chewy local doughnuts since I was a kid, so you can imagine how pleased I was to see the little cart selling them…at 3 pesos each! Let's see, that's either .06 Usd or .04 Eur.
"Room Service" – Our favorite "on-the-cheap" joint in the market, called Smoke, makes great value-for-money rice dishes, which also happen to be delicious, and they deliver. In the blazing heat of high noon, it was no small relief to have our Chili Chicken (I have sworn to replicate it!) delivered to our resort, to be wolfed down in bed.
Doing nothing – Looking at each other and saying things like: "What do you want to do now?", "Let's take a nap!", "Ok!" Aaah! The luxury of it!
Our anniversary dinner – The best meal of the trip! All the more fantastic because we shopped for it ourselves. We headed out to the wet market in the morning and came away with a talakitok (trevally/jack), some clams, some prawns, and three lobsters. Also a bunch of eggplant (aubergine), native tomatoes, and red onions for a salad. The clams (halaan) were turned is to an incredibly tasty soup. The prawns were steamed, the talakitok grilled, and the lobster was served with garlic butter. We had steamed rice and all manners of sawsawan (dipping sauces): calamansi (calamodin), toyo (soy sauce), sinamak (vinegar with garlic, ginger, and chilis), sili labuyo (bird's eye chili)…the works! The seafood was amazing…so fresh…but the lobster was the real star. This was definitely one of the best lobster meals I've had. The lobsters themselves look quite regular. But once cooked and cut in half we saw that it was literally bursting with meat. The soft white flesh was pushed flush against its shell like a film star's bosom in a tight bodice. The meat was unbelievably sweet and tender and succulent. Even the resort staff (where we had our bounty prepared) approached us to ask where we got the lobster. This feast was eaten kamayan-style (with our hands), under one of the resorts beach huts. After the food was gone we went for a stroll on the beach to walk off (hopefully!) a bit of our overindulgences.
Perfect beach weather - Unlike last year, the weather behaved beautifully. It was so sunny that the light turned the sand an almost blinding white and the sky a brilliant blue. The heat did make us more lethargic…but, hey, we were on vacation, so it's ok to be a bit slow…to lag and tarry through scrumptious meals, outdoor naps, and cool dips in the ocean.
The best highlight of course is having a partner-in-crime with whom to enjoy this all...Happy anniversary C! :)

I'm an engineer (and sometime "architect", but I don't trust architects) focussing on .NET, python and functional languages in the realm of visualisation/statistical analysis, based in Zurich, Switzerland. Currently my main clients are Financial Services behemoths, but I also dabble in the kool kid stuff for fun and profit, and I batter a guitar in the name of song and merriment in the bars of Switzerland from time to time, when I'm not skiing, cycling or working on code. Mail me at mel dot padden at gmail dot com. I try to update my blog but usually, I'm far too busy doing real work.

Since 1921, Glamorise has focused exclusively on designing exquisite Glamorise bras to serve the needs of full-figured women. At the heart of Glamorise's legendary comfort is a painstaking fitting and refitting process that even their state of the art computer design department can't surpass. Glamorise calls this process The Art of the Perfect Fit, through which they make hundreds of pattern changes to perfectly dial in each size. The final product is a unique pattern for each size, rather than a cross-graded size.
By far, the most successful product line in the 85 year history of Glamorise is the MagicLift line. A truly innovative design by Glamorise, the MagicLift bras offer superior support and eliminate shoulder strain with unique crossover bands and no wires. This full coverage bra provides optimal support for all-day wear without having the sometimes uncomfortable underwires to deal with. Glamorise also has several other popular lines, including
At Freshpair, the most popular bras from Glamorise in our collection are the Sport Soft Cup Superior Support Bra. This bra by Glamorise has a seamless Magic Lift wire-free design that offers superior support. The breathable, open mesh design offers cool comfort while the crossover bands provide uplift, separation and support. Another popular bra by Glamorise is the Sport Front Close Soft Cup Superior Support Bra, a similar style with the convenience of a front closure.
The Complete Comfort Front Close Leisure Bra feature sleek, satiny fabric and a seamless, look and feel. The stretch cups on these bras by Glamorise offer all-day comfort and the front closure allows easy on/off. Women seeking a strapless solution in Glamorise will love the Complete Comfort Strapless Glamorise Bras because it has a beautiful look and shirred elastic construction that won't roll or curl up. For women who need the same support in a smaller size range, the Glamorise Exclusively A&B Lightly Lined Soft Cup Bra is just the right choice and has a beautiful floral lace construction.
Each bra features the same standard from Glamorise for fit and comfort and yet each bra carves out a unique niche by catering specifically to a woman's needs and her figure. This has set Glamorise apart from other intimate apparel companies and makes them a popular choice when women are looking for something to support their full figure.
