text: The Petraeus affair The Petraeus affairConflictUnited States Jessica Phelan on Nov 13, 2012 @ 3:45 PMNov 13, 2012 @ 3:45 PM Published50 Shades of Khaki: The John Allen-Jill Kelley emailsReams.Sure, it was a shock to learn that General John Allen exchanged "between 20,000 and 30,000 pages of communications" with Tampa socialite Jill Kelley, the woman whose now-legendary email inbox led to the discovery of David Petraeus's affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell – who had herself sent Kelley a series of catty messages.But once you've got all that straight in your head, surely the next thought is: that's a lot of "communications."Really, a lot. If you figure that each page holds around 500 words, that's a minimum of 10 million words, most of them said to have been exchanged in email form between 2010 and 2012.Full coverage of The Petraeus AffairWhat those words were, we can only speculate. It's clear, though, that FBI agents thought the messages problematic enough to hand them over to the Department of Defense, whose investigators are now trawling through them in a bid to establish whether any boundaries were crossed.It may make for very dull reading. One source told the Washington Post that the thousands of pages comprise hundreds of emails relating to the military socials Kelley organizes in Tampa. And some of those "routine" conversations may even be printed multiple times, the source claimed, since FBI agents apparently don't know how to delete quoted text (that's his explanation for the high page count, anyway).Another insider, however, has described the conversations as "flirtatious." (There's hope yet for Fifty Shades of Urban Gray 501!)Only time, and chatty insiders, will tell. In the meantime, here's what the Defense Department could be reading instead.[View the story "Five things as long as the Allen-Kelley correspondence" on Storify]

The Space
Enjoy the Ubud area from a spectacular private home perched high in a lush, river valley. Enter into a spacious grand room with large modern kitchen featuring terrazzo counters and huge rubber wood bar, dining and living space featuring wrap around floor to ceiling glass windows to emphasize the jungle views, vaulted ceiling, polished cement floors, and antique javanese furniture. We have 3 bedrooms: with views, hotel linens and en suite baths. The large 3rd bedroom on the lower level may be used as a yoga studio or other group gathering area- the staff can set up single beds here, which can be ideal for children or extra guests. Our baths include 2 powder rooms and 2 full open air spaces with showers and terrazzo oval tubs built on site by the terrazzo maker of the Four Seasons Hotel. The property includes terraced gardens, a lovely temple area, and stone patios with an infinity plunge pool to enjoy. Watch the tropical birds soar through the misty jungle while listening to the sound of the river below. The house is expertly cared for by our housekeepers, gardener, security guard and manager. Payogan is a lovely, quiet village!
6 Reviews
Amy's Jungle View Villa is an incredible place to stay. Although somewhat remote, we enjoyed having time opportunity to relax while enjoying the incredible views. Made, the house manager, was wonderful. I highly recommend anyone arrange for a private meal cooked in the home - just ask Made. It was VERY hard to leave the villa.
Beautiful views and quiet piece of paradise in Ubud. Definitely not for kids but a great kitchen and luxurious bedrooms. Situated slightly out of town but no issue if you're using bikes. We loved Ubud and definitely recommend the Eco bike riding tour or using one of the many yoga studios. Amy was a great host and prompt to reply.
We arrived late night, the place was not easy to find and our car has problem to go in the tiny road but with the assist of made the villa manager we manage to get in. The place is really cool, but the only thing to take note was the stairs that are really steep so I won't recommend if u have young children or old people but otherwise it's good. At night that are no street lights around so prepare your own torch lights and toiletries are not provided so do bring your own. The villa itself is really clean and spacious! At night is really cooling and we even off the fan!! Overall it's a good experience.
Amy's Spectacular Jungle View Villa really lives up to it's name. It is completely surrounded by the jungle on all sides and the view from the pool should be the envy of all in Ubud. The two beautiful bathrooms made it quite a decision as to which room to take! We opted to take the walk in to town every day as it was truely one of the most breathtaking walks we did in Ubud. Made the property manager was a wonderful person and made us feel welcome immediately and was always available to drive us back to the villa from town. He and his staff went out of their way to make our trip a memorable and easy experience. If only we could live here all the time!
The view is spectacular here! What we loved most about the villa was the upstairs living space, which was open and airy. Without A/C the house stayed warm, even with the doors open, so at night when the bugs came out we just closed up the mosquito nets around our beds and lit incense. It turned out to be a beautiful experience listening to the sounds of the jungle outside the windows.
One unexpected feature is that the pool is always in the shade of the villa, keeping it very cold. This is a nice contrast to the humid weather we experienced while visiting. We found some frogs taking a swim a couple of days, along with tons of other local wildlife, which was incredible!
There is a long winding staircase down to the villa, which adds to the charm and experience of it all. It is secluded - and because no address was provided we met the WONDERFUL house manger, Made, at the local Bintang Market so he could lead us to the villa. Throughout our stay he drove us wherever we needed to go. He is a lovely person, and enriched the experience greatly for us.
It is important to note that there are 2 furnished bedrooms in the listing, as the third is an empty and open yoga studio downstairs. The main downstairs bathroom is outdoors, so if you're squeamish (like my sister in law!) then I'd recommend staying in the upstairs bedroom to avoid the spiders and bugs. Also, the upstairs and downstairs are connected by an outdoor staircase, so I would not recommend this villa to families with young children.
This is the perfect place for those looking for an authentic, off the beaten path experience. While the villa has all the modern amenities you could hope for, it still feels adventurous and secluded. We loved our stay!
Amy's place is spectacular! The jungle views are incredible. It's a short motor bike ride from town, but the peacefulness and privacy justify it. The wifi worked great. There are bugs due to the open nature of the villa, but if you close everything up before dark, they aren't a problem at all. We arrived there expecting 3 bedrooms but there were only 2. Being disappointed, I messaged Amy. She was more than understanding and adjusted the price accordingly. I was very impressed and pleased by her hospitality in this instance. Her staff were fantastic as they cleaned daily and even made us breakfast. Made (staff member) assisted us in getting motorbikes and even dropped us off at the bintang market at 2 in the morning so we could catch our ride to Mt. Batur.
About the Host, Amy
I love yoga and travel! I'm thrilled to offer my beautiful new villa in Payogan just minutes north of Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.

Among the provocative social phenomena of our time, few have caught the public fancy as profoundly as that quintessentially American species known as Bubba. The conventional notion of Bubba is a Southern redneck who thinks a rented movie and a six-pack are quality entertainment. According to Dan Jenkins, this historical view has been advanced largely by "effete Easterners and West Coast ponytails who claim to like trout pizza and fat novels written by some kind of Ecuadorian". Granted, says Jenkins, there is more than one Bubba from Georgia who has spray-painted his girl's name on an overpass. But there is also more than one Bubba from Chicago who will do his Christmas shopping at Graceland. Bubba, Jenkins concludes, is a state of mind, and he proceeds to let Bubba define himself by speaking on topics ranging from beer to ballet, from haircuts to the homeless.
DAN JENKINS, an award-winning writer for Sports Illustrated for more than twenty years, is the author of nineteen works of fiction and nonfiction, including Semi-Tough, Dead Solid Perfect, Baja Oklahoma, Life Its Ownself, Rude Behavior, Fairways and Greens, Slim and… More about Dan Jenkins

Deal risk is impossible to guess, especially in today's world when you have to look forward more than 30 days. Anything can happen, but I am sure you know that. Sadly, it looks as if I will get my chance to buy in again around $16. There is just nothing compelling about the stock at this time except for a yield. I just hope the rest of the market stays together.I know it is risky for management to talk of the Company's future plans, but at the moment that is all this Company has and there really isn't enough good "after the sale" information to really make a buy or sell decision - so by default the sellers win. Am I missing a good, clear, factual reason to buy?
I actually think the GP is a screaming buy right now. Ignoring the obvious high yield. NRGY is a very sound business especially after the sale to SPH. I have worked in the Asset Management/Trading area of the physical and financial natural gas market for almost a decade and can tell you they have extremely good assets. I have personally delt with almost all facilities. They are highly strategic to the today's and the future gas market. Yes most are now held in NRGM but NRGY hold 75% of those shares and also has IDR's as well. Long range forecasts for winter 12/13 are trending colder and colder. Even a modestly cold winter will bring gas prices and more notably spreads to higher and wider levels. The sale to SPH is virtually leaving NRGY debt free...and i know it is somewhat of an oxymoron...Underlevered. This will enable NRGY the flexibility to acquire other midstream assets or sell the GP to NRGM(would not surprise me). Now if the sale doesnt go through there is a silver lining...the coming cold winter. Propane prices are down significantly and tend to track crude...but...you are now starting to see a decoupling. All of the shale drilling is unlocking liquids which is beneficial to the retail and wholesale propane consumer...wholesale propane is now trading under a $.90 gallon compared to $1.47 a year ago. Low Propane price coupled with cold or even a normal winter mean higher revs. So while i like the sale, i won't be to disappointed if it doesn't go through. The asset only gets more valuble with higher ebitda. One other issue. I read the seeking alpha MLP DCF author and enjoy his stuff but I think he fails to look forward with his analysis...it only focuses on the present. A normal winter will bring higher DCF ratios. I have went on too long and wont bother to spell check. Hope this gives you another reason. Have a good weekend
Agree completely.Screaming buy to get what will (hopefully) be a pure play GP.In time, the West Coast NGL ops and wholesale propane will be dropped down into NRGM within a year or two. That will leave NRGY debt free assuming the SPH deal goes through.So, you are buying the IDRs, LP units and Tres Palacios and getting a 9% yield to boot.

The New Vintage Classic by BreakNeckVioletWatch
©2012-2015 BreakNeckVioletMature Content
First off, I do NOT want any smart-ass comments on this. It's not "porn art". It's not "hey let's draw this for the sake of being popular!", I just ... wanted to create something heart felt and beautiful. And this to me ... because of the shyness Susi is showing, and the way the wings turned out (obviously had a lot more patience that day when linearting, lol), the way they frame her body .. I really like that. Almost like she's being protective of herself. And dang. There would have been more shades of grey in her blanket, but ... no. They didn't want to cooperate, sadly. There is shading on the orange-tan parts of her body, but I doubt you can see them. Evident enough in real life though.

Dodge Grand Caravan Problem Report
Dodge Grand Caravan Stalling or Low Engine Idle Speed Due to Dirty Throttle Body
(5 reports)
A dirty throttle body may cause low engine idle speed or frequent stalling, as oily residue blocks air flow in the throttle when the throttle is closed. Throttle body cleaning may be necessary to correct this condition. Our technicians caution against spraying cleaner directly onto the throttle body as this may damage the throttle position sensor (TPS).

Born In Sweden Watering Can
And thus begins the posts from the all the Swedish shopping i couldn't resist that led to an inevitable Rimowa purchase… It was really quite bizarre trying to explain to the US immigration fellow what i did and why i was declaring things like toys, a watering can, a bird feeder, a suitcase and more randomness on my customs form… somehow all of this leads to him telling me about how he's retiring soon and looking to redecorate his house and chatting about products (with a huge line waiting behind me! Oh! The guilt!)
So firstly, the watering can i found at my favorite, Design Torget. I was smitten. So simple. So iconic. So multipurpose. (Come on, get creative… imagine serving drinks from it? crazy cocktail serving contraption for shots straight into your mouth?) Part of the Born in Sweden collection, this is the Watering Can designed by Pascal Charmolu. It was apparently a nominee for the Årets Sak Design Award 2008. A simple stainless steel cylinder with a rubber hose attached to the bottom… and a magnet holds the hose to the cylinder to stop the flow… and simply playing with gravity you can adjust the water flow and strength… It's so fun! And can also make for a gorgeous vase as it sits on the shelf… Of course i bought the vibrant red. See more pics of the details and awesome packaging on the next page!
how awesome is the silhouette of the watering can?

If NF wasn't introduced, 90% of the population would have left. OF is dead, gone and buried, and it was the right time to put it out to pasture, for those that remember correctly.

The 1933 Nazi manifesto on artistic and cultural policy demanded that 'sculptures that are offensive to the national sensibility and yet still desecrate public squares and parks should disappear as quickly as possible, regardless of whether these works were created by 'geniuses' like Lehmbruck or Barlach.' Several of Barlach's war memorials were removed from churches in 1937. The Avenger had been made at the beginning of the First World War, when Barlach was a nationalist, and represents the unstoppable force of the German army. A later wooden version was confiscated by the Nazis.

Today's brushfires on South Whidbey scorched an estimated 15 acres, officials say
South Whidbey firefighters fought what they called the largest brushfire on the South End since the 1990s today. According to Mike Cotton, deputy chief for South Whidbey Fire/EMS, it scorched about 15 acres of grassland, damaged power lines and power poles, and threatened a number of buildings. Multiple island and state agencies responded to the emergency, it caused heavy traffic delays along Highway 525 and even resulted in some residents leaving their homes as a precautionary measure.
