The Secret List www.FireFighterCloseCalls.com
We regret to pass on to you that the Columbia Fire
Department is mourning the death of one of their own when a 25-year-veteran
firefighter died Sunday after falling ill earlier in July.
Firefighter Tyron Weston, 51, fell ill on July 3 and was on his way to recovery
when he died Sunday morning. Weston has been a member of the Columbia Fire
Department since August 1990. Our condolences to all those affected.
We regret to pass on to you the death of Captain James Alan Hicks of the
National Guard FD. Captain Hicks responded to a working fire in Stanly County
with the National Guard Fire Department Sunday night. He died at the fire
station before his shift ended Monday. It is believed he may have died from
a heart attack.
For those of you who are old-er and are original or
"senior" members of The Secret List starting back in the early 90's
(we started The Secret List about a week before Al Gore invented the internet)
- you may recall that we used to write about "NTS: Non Thinking
Sometimes we simply don't think. Sometimes we get
comfortable, all of us, it's human nature. At the firehouse, for example,
officers don't always supervise or correct our actions, or simply nothing
"happens" or goes wrong- so we keep doing it "that"
The more we do things wrong, the more they seem right.
Until something goes wrong.
Personally I've been human since the 50's and a fire officer since the late
70's. I am very well aware that this can happen. It has happened to me many,
many times and still can and has. Sometimes its a simple as always acting
in the same way that we would want our family treated...pretend it's
"your" house, kid, loved one. Whoever matters to you.
How do you want them treated? Lead? Trained? Operating at a
Training - and lots of it - usually fixes it.
LEADERSHIP + POLICY + TRAINING in a serious
DISCIPLINED Environment. Disciplined as in taking the stuff seriously at all
You have to hope that "leadership" is focused on
what's going on within-and outside of their FD.
Many get it.
Some don't.
Some have "walls" around their FD and feel they
have nothing to learn from whatever anyone else or any other FD is doing. Maybe
doing it better. Remember the pre-June 18, 2007, Charleston SC FD? Or the
Hartford, CT firefighting hood issue earlier this year. Sometimes it takes a
crisis for any of us to look outside the walls and find out how other FD's
"do it" ...and in some cases, have been doing it better for
So in the past few days, there have been some pretty amazing
examples of what we hope is NTS...vs actual intentional means of operating this
way. Nothing "went wrong" so to speak...so we get comfortable.
All's well. Sorta.
Try this-imagine your kid
is a Firefighter in these recent events...how would you want them treated or to
behave...if it was your kid?
# 1:
For example, here is a so called mobile training van.
Seriously. Lets fill the back of a van up and light the sh!t on fire. Google
NFPA 1403. Would you stick your kid in there?
Is this FIREFIGHTER TRAINING or CRIMINAL ACTIVITY*?
Find the above interesting? Learn how some Firefighters
were seriously burned in a similar way:
More than a few firefighters have burned to death when
training fails to follow existing standards-standards that were developed
because more than a few firefighters have burned to death in training.
...Nothing went wrong
"this time" above-but it did here:
GOOGLE THIS: Bradley Golden, Alan Baird III, Lairdsville, NY
Or remember MILFORD, MI:
With all the Firefighters suffering from cancer, one would
hope the message is getting out there... (fyi-I don't care how many fires
anyone goes to, put a f*cking SCBA on with your gear....just ask some of the
former 230 lb firefighters...the ones who are now rotting away at 100 lbs due
to firefighting cancer...)
Interior firefighting? Absolutely. Just WEAR what you
are issued-and just don't breathe that sh!t. Would you allow your kid to
breathe that crap?
...Nothing went wrong
"this time" above-but it did here:
WTF. Seriously. WTF.
This guy wearing the SCBA but no other PPE is a firefighter
from "out of that area" who is lending a helping hand. I definitely
"get" staffing issues and I "get" wanting to help....but
seriously? The guy in those pictures is not a member of that department or a
mutual aid department responding to assist. He is from another fire department
who was in town as a visitor. That Firefighter felt the need to jump into
action. Read more of the facts below from the Lake Placid FD.
...Nothing went wrong
"this time" above-yet-but it did here:
And then there is this incident in New Mexico. A FF (who has
since resigned) repeatedly asks if a young shooting victim is breathing, but
when the caller gets annoyed with the questions and snaps at the firefighter
using "bad language", the Firefighter tells her she's on her own and
hangs up on her.
Customer service.
Here is the 911 call.
HERE is more:
It definitely went wrong
on this one. When you have your "worst day"--who do you want
answering 9-1-1? What if it was your kid needing rescue?
Every once in a while we all personally, professionally or
organizationally need a "reset" - a "refocus" so
complacency and NTS doesn't creep up and repeat predictable history.
Sometimes it's a simple as acting in the same way we would
want our family treated...be it your "kid" the firefighter going thru
training...your kid the firefighter operating without gear...your kid the
firefighter not using an scba and breathing sh!t...or your kid who needs
How do you want them
What would be your

All,With the 40th anniversary of Firehouse, there has been quite a bit of chatter about Dennis Smith-and what he is up to... over 40 years later. For those of you younger TSL members, Dennis Smith wrote the iconic book "Report from Engine Co 82" - (link below) and many books after that.

NEW JERSEY EMT KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY-2nd EMT
The Secret List www.FireFighterCloseCalls.com
We regret to pass on that an EMS crew member was killed in
the Line of Duty and another was critically injured after an ambulance
responding crash this morning. A Spotswood EMS ambulance (Middlesex County) was
responding to assist at a crash in East Brunswick when it crashed with a
civilian car at about 0800 hours at the intersection of Ryder Lane and Cranbury
Road. One EMT in the ambulance was pronounced dead at the scene. A second EMT
in the ambulance was taken to Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center Trauma in
critical condition. No patients were in the ambulance at the time. More details
to follow here and on our home page - with some photos. RIP.
It's been five years since BFD Lt. Steven Velasquez and
Firefighter Michel Baik, both died in the line of duty fighting a fire on a
July 24, 2010. Five years ago, Velasquez and Baik were on the third floor of
that dwelling on Elmwood Avenue and gave their lives.
They were both were found unresponsive at that residential
structure fire. The fire had been extinguished on the 2nd floor upon their
entry into the structure. While pulling walls and the ceiling on the 3rd floor,
smoke and heat conditions changed rapidly. A Mayday (audibly under duress) was
transmitted but that was not acknowledged or acted upon. Minutes later the
incident commander ordered an evacuation of the 3rd floor. As a fire fighter
exited the 3rd floor, one member was discovered unconscious and not breathing,
sitting on the stairs to the 3rd floor. Approximately 7 minutes later, the
other member was discovered on the 3rd floor in thick, black smoke conditions.
Both members were removed by the rapid intervention team (RIT) and other fire
fighters who assisted them. Both victims were pronounced dead at local
hospitals. RIP.
HERE is the report:
Firefighter Andy Palmer was assigned as a part of an engine
crew to the Iron Complex fire on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest near
Weaverville, California. When Firefighter Palmer and his crew arrived at the
incident command post, they could not go to work immediately due to a
mechanical problem with their engine. After working logistical assignments at
the camp, Firefighter Palmer and two members of his crew were assigned as a
tree falling team. They worked ahead of firefighters mopping up a fire that was
under control, removing or dropping hazardous trees to allow other firefighters
to work more safely.
At approximately 1350 hrs, Firefighter Palmer was struck by a piece of a
falling tree released in the falling process. Helicopter access to the site was
prevented by smoke conditions so other firefighters carried Firefighter Palmer
to a location where he was picked up by a United States Coast Guard helicopter.
Firefighter Andy Palmer went into cardiac arrest in the helicopter and was
pronounced dead on 7-25-2008. RIP.
HERE are the reports:

A few morsels of this feast can be found in the following tidbits: for example, readers may be surprised to discover that Campbell considered his half-mile track races in college to be the "peak" experiences of his life. (Campbell was an esteemed track star at Columbia University in the mid-1920s.) Or that it was the famous Paris-dweller and bookseller Sylvia Beach who helped Campbell understand the meaning behind Ulysses in 1928 and was influential in steering Campbell into the realm of mythology and heroes. Or that Campbell believed that his uncanny ability to relate myths to contemporary life came from teaching female students at Sarah Lawrence. "They always wanted the material to relate to themselves, to life," he explained to interviewer Stuart Brown. "I attribute the popular aspects of my writing to the training I got from these students." Or that The Hero with a Thousand Faces inspired numerous artists, including George Lucas of Star Wars fame and Richard Adams, author of Watership Down.
This is also a generously illustrated book, with numerous photos of Campbell, many of which are shown in their authentic sepia tones. Numerous full-color images of famous artwork and images speak to each mythological theme in the book, such as the "Death of Socrates" (Jacques Louis David, 1787) and the painting of "Sacred and Profane" (Titan, circa 1514). --Gail Hudson -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Christmas Toy Shopping To Go Digital This Year
Some of the nation's top retailers are predicting digital devices will be at the top of kids' wish lists this year.
A digital revolution will be guiding Santa's sleigh this year.
That's according to predictions by the country's top retailers of what toys will drive revenue in the holiday season, the sector's most lucrative time period.
With more than 70% to 80% of the toy industry's roughly $20 billion in annual revenue coming in the last five to six weeks of the year, retailers like Walmart and Kohl's are expecting digital devices will be more popular than traditional toys for the holidays. And after tepid toy sales for the year through August, owing mainly to a lack of blockbuster movies and unfavorable weather, these retailers are pinning their hopes on a digital revolution in the toy sector, according to an analyst note by Citi's Deborah Weinswig.
"The lack of blockbuster films and obvious new toy inventions is likely to
contribute to a lack of buzz around this year's Holiday toy offerings," Weiswig wrote.
As for what products retailers are banking on to offset weak sales of traditional toys, both Kohl's and Walmart, which unlike its competitors this year allowed kids to make the selections, said the VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels Train Station, Doc McStuffins Get Better Check Up Center, Camelio Android Family Tablet, Mega Bloks First Builders Tub and Hello Kitty Airlines Playsets, as well as favorites of years gone by like Furby, will be among the top sellers.
Weiswig stressed that the changing preferences of children will drive a significant shift in the products poised to help revenue grow by nearly half a billion dollars in the toy sector.
"The high-tech explosion is having a profound impact on children's gift preferences
and changing the traditional toy business," Weiswig wrote. The phenomenon of age compression, where children feel older at a much younger age, has resulted in more kids adding digital devices in favor of traditional toys to their Holiday wish list. The myriad digital devices on the market that offer almost unlimited gaming and entertainment applications, at low cost, have made them an easy, exciting, and attractive alternative to traditional toys. Whereas parents might have purchased a traditional toy, the entertainment options that digital devices provide allow them to offer a panoply of 'new' toys to their children who quickly age-out of certain toys."

2 Texas cops shot, suspect in custody following standoff
The suicidal teen exchanged gunfire with police, eventually getting shot in the leg

JACINTO CITY, Texas — The 17-year-old accused of shooting and wounding two Jacinto City police officers was taken into custody after a SWAT standoff that ended with him being shot.Jacinto City police said the whole ordeal began at the home around 6 p.m. Wednesday when two officers went to question Cuellar about a shooting that happened on Tuesday.
"As soon as officers arrived, they held him down because he wanted to leave out the back door as the officers walked in," Jacinto City Police Chief Joe Ayala said. "As officers walked in, he reached for his waistband and pulled out his pistol and started firing."
One of the officers, Lt. Dennis Walker, was shot in the chest and flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital. Police said his bulletproof vest likely saved his life. Sgt. Jennifer Simpson-Castenada was shot in the arm and was taken to Lydon B. Johnson Hospital. Both officers are expected to recover.

"What began as a test of American mettle ended in failure to bring about far-reaching change in a country that has received more per capita U.S. aid than Europe did under the post-World War II Marshall Plan. In the eyes of activists and, at times, the government itself, that failure stands as a narrative of misperception about the people Americans sought to court, and of na?vet? about those the Americans wanted to reform. In the end, they say, pragmatic priorities triumphed over promises. ?The Americans now prefer stability over democracy,? said George Ishaq, a demoralized opposition leader. He fell silent, then narrowed his eyes. 'I will never trust them again'." ( Washington Post)

A comic book hero sends up America

Crooked Little Vein
by Warren Ellis
William Morrow,
277 pages, $27.95
Not being a total convert to the cult of the graphic novel, I'll have to take it on faith that writer Warren Ellis is the Evil Genius of the comics world his devotees make him out to be. His massive output of subversive, profane characters and storylines for Marvel and DC Comics have certainly challenged the traditional boundaries of superhero comics.
His first novel, Crooked Little Vein, plops his devoted fans into familiar territory. After an over-the-top Chandleresque opening in which loser private detective Mike McGill does battle with an apparently sentient rat that regularly pisses in his coffee mug, McGill's seedy corner of New York City is suddenly overrun by secret service types. Knowing that no good can come of dealing with government people of any stripe, McGill tries to flee his office but is stopped at the door by the White House chief of staff himself, "a bony man with skin like leather."
The leathery skin is the least of the chief's peculiarities. He's also a heroin addict who shoots up in hotel rooms and craps on the clean sheets while watching models parade by on the Fashion Channel. He's not a man without morals or love of his country, though, and he offers McGill the biggest case of his life: find a missing document that, in the right hands, could restore America to its former God-loving, Commie-bashing glory.
The document is a small, leather-bound book that contains the real constitution of the United States, not the one citizens view on staged White House tours. Written by several of the founding fathers, it contains 23 "Invisible Amendments" that determine how America is actually to be run.
The book has been lost ever since Richard Nixon traded it to a Chinese prostitute for her favours back in the 1950s, and America has since lost her way. The chief wants the book back, and he'll pay McGill half a million dollars to find it.
This set-up allows Mike and his hastily recruited sexy sidekick Trix to embark on an extended tour of America's pornographic underbelly in search of the book. The alternate constitution has apparently passed through the hands of every imaginable sexual deviant – men who inject their testicles with saline, devotees of Godzilla movies who masturbate with oversized lizard claws, rich lawyers who infect virgins with AIDS.
Ellis's style, such as it is, consists of scenes paced at an Attention Deficit Disorder pace, in which grotesquely parodied character types – politicians, cops, serial killers – riff wisely on everything from pop culture to politics to the Internet and sexual deviancy.
Some of these riffs are deadly funny, but just as often they're merely excuses for Ellis to get a shot in at easy (read "Republican") political targets or to exercise his obsessions with excrement, deformity, perversion and so forth. But for a man who has cut several sets of teeth on the plot-saturated world of comics, he has little idea of how to sustain a narrative arc. Incidents and characters pile on each other without creating any real obstacles to the final goal.
The problem seems to be that Ellis wants to weigh down his picaresque story with a moral and socio-political message about the importance of personal responsibility and choice – which is fine, but he hasn't the patience to dramatize the message on the page. Mike's relationship with Trix, for example, is utterly banal in its conformity to male, heterosexual conventions. Trix, for all of her leftist rhetoric and polymorphous sexuality, is just a hot chick who needs a geeky, sensitive man to show the way to monogamy.
In fact, the narrator's contempt for ordinary people and authority figures and his championing of all forms of self-identity amounts in the end to an argument for a kind of hipster libertarianism, where the cool kids rule through their über liberal attitudes toward sex, freedom of expression, and their abilities to see through the supposed moral and nationalist lies that sustain the rest of us working folk.
For all its iconoclastic posturing, Crooked Little Vein provides a withering if unintentional portrait of today's supposed counterculture: a bunch of cool kids sitting at the back of the class, making fat jokes about the principal and waiting for the bell to ring so they can rush home and download the latest cultural artifacts from the Internet.

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
25 Sep 2012 08:42 GMT | Politics, Japan
Robert Reich is Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley. He has served in three US administrations, most recently as secretary of labor under President Bill Clinton. He has written thirteen books, including his most recent, Aftershock.
Can Romney possibly recover? A survey conducted between September 12 to 16 by the Pew Research Center - before the "47 per cent victim" video came to light - showed Obama ahead of Romney 51 per cent to 43 per cent among likely voters.
That's the biggest margin in the September survey prior to a presidential election since Bill Clinton led Bob Dole, 50 per cent to 38 per cent in 1996.
And, remember, this recent poll was done before America watched Romney belittle almost half the nation.
For the last several days I've been deluged with calls from my inside-the-beltway friends telling me "Romney's dead".
Hold it. Rumours of Romney's demise are premature for at least four reasons:
1. Between now and Election Day come two jobs reports from the
1. Between now and Election Day come two jobs reports from the Bureau of Labour Statistics - October 5 and November 2. If they're as bad as the last report, showing only 96,000 jobs added in August (125,000 are needed just to keep up with population growth) and the lowest percentage of employed adults since 1981, Romney's claim the economy is off track becomes more credible, and Obama's that it's on the mend harder to defend.
Live Box 20121816112138306
With gas prices rising, corporate profits shrinking, most of Europe in recession, Japan still a basket case, and the Chinese economy slowing, the upcoming job reports are unlikely to be stellar.
2. Also between now and Election Day are three presidential debates, starting October 3. It's commonly thought Obama will win them handily but that expectation may be very wrong - and could work against him. Yes, Romney is an automaton - but when the dials are set properly he can give a good imitation of a human engaged in sharp debate. He did well in the Republican primary debates.
Obama, by contrast, can come off slow and ponderous. Recall how he stuttered and stumbled during the 2008 Democratic primary debates. And he hasn't been in a real-live debate for four years; Romney recently emerged from almost a year of them.
3. During the next 7 final weeks of the campaign, the anti-Obama forces will be spending a gigantic amount of money. Not just the Romney campaign and Romney's super PACs, but other super PACS aligned with Romney, billionaires spending their own fortunes, and non-profit "social welfare" organisations like the Chamber of Commerce, Karl Rove's "Crossroads", and various Koch-brothers political fronts - all will dump hundreds of millions on TV and radio spots, much of it spreading lies and distortions. Some of this money will be devoted to get-out-the-vote drives - to phone banks and door-to-door canvassing to identify favourable voters, and vans to bring them to the polling stations.
It's an easy bet they'll far outspend Obama and his allies. I've heard two-to-one. The race is still close enough that a comparative handful of voters in swing states can make the difference - which means gobs of money used to motivate voters to polling stations can be critical.
Live Box 2012828155222976259
4. As they've displayed before, the Republican Party will do whatever it can to win - even if it means disenfranchising certain voters. To date, 11 states have enacted voter identification laws, all designed by Republican legislatures and governors to dampen Democratic turnout.
The GOP is also encouraging what can only be termed "voter vigilante" groups to "monitor polling stations to prevent fraud" - which means intimidating minorities who have every right to vote. We can't know at this point how successful these efforts may be but it's a dangerous wildcard. And what about those Diebold voting machines?
So don't for a moment believe "Romney's dead", and don't be complacent. The hard work lies ahead, in the next seven weeks.
And even if Obama is reelected, more hard work begins after Inauguration Day - when we must push him to be tougher on the Republicans than he was in his first term, and do what the nation needs.
Robert Reich is the Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley, was Secretary of Labour in the Clinton administration. Time Magazine named him one of the ten most effective cabinet secretaries of the last century. He has written thirteen books, including the best sellers "Aftershock"and "The Work of Nations." His latest is an e-book, "Beyond Outrage." He is also a founding editor of the American Prospect magazine and chairman of Common Cause.

Google asked to reveal searches
The US government is asking Google to turn over search records in an effort to defend a child pornography law in the US according to a report published Thursday.
Federal lawyers are hoping to secure information in an effort to defend the constitutionality of the Child Online Protection Act, which was struck down in 1994.
Although other search engines have agreed to help, Google has so far refused to comply with a subpoena issued last year for the search records, citing user privacy and maintaining company secrets.
The records in question include 1 million random Web addresses and a list of all Google searches from any one-week period, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
"Google is not a party to this lawsuit and their demand for information overreaches", Nicole Wong, an associate general counsel for Google, said in a comment to CNN.

Israel Matzav posted this great movie of Purim in Tel Aviv in 1932-34:
The Book of Esther is particularly appropriate now.
I had to read about the celebration of Purim. Eating, drinking, singing, remembering how the good guys beat the bad guys… I'm not Jewish but it sounds like my kind of holiday. Freilichin Purim to all at LI!
Here's a great YouTube video on the subject: Crash Course on Purim
I always love the Maccabeats' Purim Song!
I had no idea that Tel Aviv was such a bustling place between the wars. It's quite the cosmopolitan place now. Great video.
The League Of Nations mandated the formerly Ottoman territories of Southern Syria through to Jordan To be administered by Britain.
It was not a desert that just sprung to life in 48. If you read the various reports they would not be out of place today except they had beautifully constructed English.

Nowadays, some "poor, aggrieved Palestinian" would strap a bomb to his kid and take him to the parade. Hell, even with all the outrages perpetrated by the old Nazi-loving Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, they could still hold a peaceful parade.
Oh, as far as the Book of Esther is concerned, that is completely lost on the Narcissist-in-Chief. In his world, the only Esther he ever heard about was was Fred Sandford's sister-in-law. If Jerry Wright didn't preach it – and I can find nothing in Esther that smacks of Liberation Theology – then Barack hasn't heard about it.
Reading up on Esther I was intrigued to find a 2009 novel by Debra Sparks which places Esther in – of all places – Madison Wisconsin.
Other than that on the trad story , I've got to like Vashti who told the king to FO.
Are we allowed to have opinions on biblical characts or not ? if so , I should start reading .
Esther was a very beautiful woman, and Vashti probably was a bit of a harpy at times being privledged for so long. I was not surprised the King let her go. As for the lesson: Femininity in a patriarchal society is important. Conversely, in our modern day, Masculinity is important in a feminized (or matriarchal) society.
Vashti = possible harpy & privileged.
Esther = beautiful woman.
Virgin Mary vs Mary Magdalene – it gets old.

I made mention a couple of months ago of local historian Tony Collignon's desire to find out more about a late-1800s Catholic chapel in the Adyeville area that went by the name of St. Jude Thaddeus. Tony had the dates of when he thought the chapel was open and he had shared emails with the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, but he had no substantive information on the chapel. He did not have to wait long for an answer.

Pew: MSNBC's Bias Far Worse Than Fox
This news is certainly no surprise to anyone on the right, but a new Pew study finds that MSNBC is far more biased than Fox News.
The Pew study, Winning The Media Campaign 2012, tracked the political coverage that President Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney received between the conventions and the final days of the campaign. The study of the media landscape (including social media) shows that Obama got a bit more positive coverage than Mitt Romney, but that his positive coverage took a nosedive after his miserable performance at the first debate.
But one of the more interesting aspects of the Pew study is the breakdown of bias from MSNBC and Fox News. This part of the study shows that MSNBC was far more biased against Romney than Fox was against Obama.
MSNBC featured 71 percent negative coverage of Mitt Romney whereas Fox coverage of Obama was only 46 percent unfavorable. What's more, positive Romney stories on MSNBC reached all the way to a soaring three percent!
David Zurawik of the Baltimore Sun exactly pegs these results. Of MSNBC, Zurawik says, "That's not a news channel."
"That's a propaganda machine, and owner Comcast should probably change [MSNBC President] Phil Griffin's title from president to high minister of information, or something equally befitting the work of a party propaganist [sic] hack in a totalitarian regime. You wonder how mainstream news organizations allow their reporters and corrdespondents [sic] to appear in such a cauldron of bias."
Why anyone considers commentators such as Chris "Tingles" Matthews, Ed Schultz, or Rachel Maddow anything other than complete propagandists is anyone guess, but this Pew study proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there isn't a single unbiased minute on MSNBC while Fox News appears to be far more balanced by comparison.
Another interesting part of the Pew study is that social media is even less forgiving than the Old Media establishment. This, of course, should also be no surprise. After all, social media is not expected to be unbiased. It is built on everyone's opinion, not any even-handed coverage of the news.

The Saturdays star and the British royal are rumoured to be dating and for the first time the blonde beauty has spoken about their relationship.
Mollie and Harry, 27, first met at a polo match in 2010 and in recent weeks the pair have been partying together at Public nightclub and karaoke bar Bunga Bunga in London.
'I'm not dating him'
During a Q&A session between the girl group and fans on Twitter on Tuesday, the 24-year-old singer was bombarded with questions about the prince but she insisted they are not an item.
She wrote: "Guys I'm getting a lot of tweets about Prince Harry but ... i'm not dating him & we're not in a relationship. We're just friends. (sic)"
Mollie - who split from male model David Gandy in February - and Harry were allegedly set up by his cousin Zara Phillips, who is a friend of the pop star's Saturdays bandmate Una Healy.
Meanwhile, The Saturdays have signed a development deal with E! to star in a reality TV show.
The five-piece band - which consists of Una, Mollie, Frankie Sandford, Vanessa White and Rochelle Wiseman - have agreed terms with the network to have their personal and professional lives documented on camera.

While Crossing Border, Illegal Immigrant Children Repeating Mantra "Obama Will Take Care Of Us"
No, no he won't. But he will use you to further his agenda:
In an exclusive interview with WND and Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, a 13-year Border Patrol veteran revealed many in the recent surge of illegal immigrants, including unaccompanied minors, are coming prepared to game the U.S. immigration system, even repeating the mantra, "Obama will take care of us."
"I don't usually get into the political part of it," explained Chris Cabrera, now a vice president in the National Border Patrol Council Local 3307, "but I find it odd that their whole thing is, 'We are going to get amnesty when we get here. Where is my permiso? Where is my permission to go north so I can get my medical care and my schooling and all that? President Obama is going to take care of us and make sure we're all OK.'
"Whether it's the adults or the young kids, one thing we consistently hear is, 'Obama will take care of us,'" he explained.
Tell me again how he didn't create this problem.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, most likely. This isn't a surprise.
Tell me I'm wrong.

January 16, 2015 - The t-shirt is accurately sized and has been washed many times. I purchased this as a gift for my sister - she has asked for a few others now.
November 3, 2014 - fits well and the saying is so true!!

1795 Nine Leaves Ten-Dollar--The Rarest Variety of the 1795-1804 Type1795 9 Leaves AU 50 PCGS. B. 4-C. The 1795 9 Leaves ten is a variety that has taken on near-legendary status over the past thirty years. Since its recognition as a variety (circa 1960), examples have turned up on average every two to three years. Breen believed that only 116 pieces were struck, all on March 30, 1796. It is widely believed that today ten or fewer specimens exist in all grades. This is the first Nine Leaves we have handled since September 1988. As such, it is the rarest naked eye type among all early tens, even surpassing the 1798/7, 7x6 Stars.
Unlike several other examples known, this piece does not show flan chips from foreign matter that possibly adhered to the die at the time of striking. However, it does have two short die cracks on the reverse. One is a jagged V-shaped crack below leaves 2-4 (counting from the right). The other is also irregular in shape, through the top of the first T in STATES. Undoubtedly, these cracks were responsible for the early retirement of this reverse die after only 116 impressions were made. The fields are semi-reflective, as seen on other 9 Leaves as well as many other 1795 tens. Generally the striking details are well brought up except on the hair of Liberty just behind the ear and on the eagle's breast. Bright rose tinted patina surrounds the outer devices, yielding a pleasing two-toned effect against the medium orange-gold color of the coin seen elsewhere. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending upon one's point of view, there are no large contact marks that would aid a researcher in identifying this coin in the future. Just a few pecks in the fields, one below the eagle's left (facing) wing, and a small cluster below the bottom of the circular wreath. Of the greatest rarity and importance to U.S. gold collectors.
