Comments about Women's Cushe Shasta Leather Sandals:
This is my second pair of the Shasta style; hoping to get more colors! The footbed is the perfect rise to take the pressure off my heel affected by plantar fasciitis. It is also soft and springy with good arch support. On top of that, they are just plain cute.

Ulster Rugby, along with proud sponsors, Bank of Ireland, has released a video featuring the Ulster Orchestra, Andrea Begley, Willie John McBride and a host of supporters from right across the Province performing a unique rendition of 'Stand up for the Ulstermen'.
In the words of Willie John McBride: 'When you take on Ulster at Ravenhill, you are not only playing the 15 players on the pitch, you are playing the whole Province of Ulster' and the video encourages fans to 'show their support' ahead of the crucial game against Saracens at Ravenhill on 5th April.

A selection of the photographs will also be used on Bank of Ireland's '17 years of support' TV advertisements which will run on UTV in the build up to the game.

Lea on Good Morning America | 'I Couldn't Have Done It' Without Family and Friends
Posted by Ali in Mar 05,2014 with Comments Off
This morning Lea made a guest appearance on Good Morning America to talk about her new album Louder. She also performed her song Battlefield.
ABC Entertainment News | ABC Business News
"Glee" star Lea Michele has had a whirlwind year — getting through the tragedy of losing her boyfriend, Cory Monteith last summer as a result of a heroin and alcohol overdose.
The multiple Grammy and Emmy-nominee now has a new solo album, "Louder," which was released today — a feat Michele said this morning on "Good Morning America" would never had been possible without the enduring support of her friends and family.
"I'm really very, very, very thankful for all the amazing people I have in my life," Michele, 27, explained to George Stephanopoulos. "I know that sounds like something everyone says, but honestly, my friends and my family, they got me through this and really, really have been there for me and I couldn't have done it without them."
One of Michele's fans on Twitter compared listening to the new album to reading the star's diary, a window into her life.
"That's really what I sought out to do when making this record," she agreed. "Moving to Los Angeles from working on Broadway I was cast on 'Glee' within just a few weeks, so I really was introduced to the world as Rachel Berry.
"I wanted to take this opportunity in making this record to really let my fans know who I am, and I think the music should be personal," she said of her much more introspective creative endeavor.
The songstress has quite a few projects keeping her busy, which is helping her take the ending of "Glee" after this coming season in stride.
"Just getting through one episode is very difficult, so to think about 33 from now, we have a lot still to do," she said. However, when thinking of the very last day on set, Michele admits, "that day will be beyond, beyond, beyond emotional."
Although her infamous character, Rachel Berry, is soon coming to an end, Michele's fans will have plenty of opportunities to keep in touch with Michele.
She's hoping to take the few weeks of down time she'll have this coming summer to tour her new album, "Louder," overseas to thank her worldwide fans. Then when she's completely done with "Glee" in 2015, she'll plan for a domestic tour.
Michele even has a new book coming out in May, "Brunette Ambition," which she's really proud of, considering she never thought of herself as a writer.
"I felt that I had I had a lot I wanted to say for my fans and for young girls who wanted to hear a little bit about my story," she said. "So many of my fans want to know how I got to where I am today, and want to see the obstacles I had to cross to get to where I am."
And as for any future plans to ever return to her original Broadway roots, Michele says there are just a few things she wants to explore first.
"I was so surprised with how much I fell in love with this recording process in making this album and I definitely want to make another one," she explained. "So once I feel like I've scratched that itch completely, Broadway is definitely where my heart is."

Busking rules in Sydney ... your area?

Re: Busking rules in Sydney ... your area?
An excerpt
- Mayor LaGuadia started a street performers ban in 1935 and the total ban went into effect on January 1, 1936. The New York Times had many articles on the public out cry over the ban. NBC Radio did a live broadcast in support of street performers. Judges dismissed cases, but the ban remained in effect until 1970, when Mayor Lindsey lifted the street performance ban.
The ban in NYC hurt the whole country because many instruments including street "Hurdy Gurdy" organs were bought and repaired there.
The "Beat" movement of the 1950s and early 1960s "Folk Revival" exploded with the Washington Square Riots in April 1961. Federal Court cases by poet Allen Ginzberg and folk singers started the First Amendment legal challenge of the street music ban.
Mayor Lindsey finally lifted the street performance ban in 1970.
The troubles did not end. Technically people are allowed to perform with out a license anywhere in the city if no amplification is being used. However, without a license to perform, many street entertainers are asked to "move on." The court case below highlight the ongoing issues.

i am very dis pointed on the depository title to the to this book....they sad hardback....confusion us...just name it 'pocket book' simple...anyone is buying this book...it's use less ...it's not even worth $1...it's wrong title.
By a 05 Oct 2011
Um, this is tiny. The content would fit on one page. Maybe someone should add 'miniature' to the title, not just 'hardback'. Not worth $1. Save the planet, do not buy.
By Michaela Hofirkova 25 May 2011
I also didn't know this was the pocket sized version until I received it. I was quite disappointed when it came.
By theMedievalBookstore 28 Aug 2010
Sick and tired of being poor? Do you want to escape the rat race? Did you know it is your thinking that keeps you poor? Think like a peasant and you'll be poor like a peasant. Think like a millionaire and you're on the road to becoming one. This is a fantastic book! I have read it and his other book titled Rich Dad's Guide to Investing and am beginning to apply the principles he is teaching. You can change your financial position if you have an open mind, are willing to learn and then have the courage to act. Fortune to the Bold! Instead of working for somebody else Robert suggests that we go into business for ourselves. Before quitting your job start a part time business and then as it grows.... Invest what you earn back into your business and then invest your money into money generating assets using your companies BEFORE tax dollars. The poor pay tax then buy assets. The rich buy assets THEN pay tax. This is one of the reasons why they are richer. Robert teaches you how to do this legally. Learn the secrets to becoming rich.

There was no description given that this was a pocket size book measuring 8cm x 7cm. I was looking for the proper full size book and was surprised when I received this in the mail. Perhaps retailer should list this as being pocket size. Content was fine but condensed and I was really looking for the normal size book with full detail and not the small pocket version.

This column came knocking at 8:10 p.m. Saturday.
"It's Earth Hour," said one of a gaggle of seven young neighbors holding candles on our front porch.
"Why are your lights on?" asked another, eyebrows furrowed, glaring at me with 120 watts of disappointment.
These were the children of the 500 block of High Street, a plucky bunch of grade-schoolers whose games and laughter grace our neighborhood even more than the tall trees.
Mornings, you see them headed toward school in a "walking (more like sprinting) school bus." On snow days, they shovel heaps into the street to build a sledding hill steeper than any in Central Denver. And lately they're jury-rigging sleds with their skateboards and careening down the sloping sidewalk yelling, "To infinity and beyond!"
The troupe went global Saturday.
When the clocks struck 8:00, they mobilized to save the planet by knocking loudly on neighbors' doors with a metal key — a technique one of the older boys learned selling tins of caramel corn for Boy Scouts.
By the time they worked their way to our house, my eldest son was getting ready to join his brother in the bathtub. Abe sprinted downstairs, so excited about a visit from the big kids that he didn't notice they were chuckling about his nakedness.
They persuaded him merely with their presence.
"It's Earth Hour, Mom. We've got to save our energy," he said, flicking off all our lights, including one that left his little brother screaming in a dark bathroom.
Most of our neighbors' homes also darkened, one by one, after visits from the little organizers.
The retirees turned off their porch light for the first time in memory.
Off went the lamps of the newly separated couple, who had spent the day preparing to sell the home where they'd raised their two teenagers.
April and Tony Townsend shut off everything in their bungalow except their baby Hayley's night light and their oven, where they were roasting beef. They dined by candlelight, half wishing, April said, that "every hour was Earth Hour."
By 8:30, the only bulbs still burning were those of the newcomers from California, those on timers set by the family traveling in Nicaragua, and those behind the drawn shades of the reclusive bachelor.
As their parents shared wine and small talk on the sidewalk, the young activists huddled under Saturday's starlight to discuss the plight of the planet.
"We need to save all the juice in the earth so there will be some left when we're old," said 8-year-old Dara Pasquino.
"Just this hour of darkness is saving, like, trillions and trillions of gallons," added her brother, Dante, 10.
Nine-year-old Daniel Scher expounded on the need to "reduce, reuse and recycle" and "plan for sustainability."
"We're teaching grown-ups not to be wasters," added Juliana Pfeifer, 6. "Besides, firelight makes you sing songs and tell stories. Candles make everything more wonderful."
By 10 p.m. — well past their bedtimes — the tired firebrands smiled when they realized most of the block was still dark even after Earth Hour was history.
They had changed their world, at least for a few hours.
Then, at the prodding of their parents, the kids of High Street headed home to bed, skipping into the balmy night, triumphant in the darkness.

Entomologist says new spider discovered in Ventura County
Rick Vetter was tracking the movement of the brown widow spider through Ventura County last year when he discovered a spider never before seen in the Western Hemisphere.
"I was pretty shocked about the discovery," Vetter, an entomologist, or insect specialist, at UC Riverside said recently by telephone.
Vetter wrote a paper about his find for The Pan-Pacific Entomologist, a quarterly publication based in Missouri. The paper is scheduled to be published this spring.
Vetter said it was the first recorded instance of the spider being seen outside the Old World.
There is one small problem, though. Vetter can't talk about his find publicly — at least not now.
Until his article is published, Vetter is unwilling to identify the spider, fearing it might displease the publishers of the trade journal.
He is willing to disclose some things about the spider and speculate on how it got to Ventura County, however.
Here's what he will say: It is sizable, about as big as a black widow, and is native to Europe and the Canary Islands.
He won't say whether it is venomous but says he doesn't think it threatens people or crops.
As to how it arrived halfway around the world in Ventura County, Vetter speculates it may have been brought over on a ship that docked at the Port of Hueneme.
"It may have come over on one of the ship containers," he said.
Or perhaps it found its way here through some other means.
For as long as people have traveled, they have introduced animals, insects, plants and diseases to other parts of the world.
One of the greatest and best-known of these transfers is known as the Columbian Exchange, named after Christopher Columbus.
Columbus' maiden voyage to the Americas in 1492 set off the exchange of plants, animals and diseases between the new and old worlds. Explorers took back tomatoes, chocolate, tobacco, potatoes and corn.
That exchange is ongoing, although Vetter said knowing precisely to what extent is difficult. One problem is the lack of entomologists paid to research the topic.
"It's often a problem of money," he said.
Even with long-established species, determining their native home can be difficult because taxonomy, the science of identifying and naming species, did not fully come into its own until the 1700s, Vetter said.
By that time, more than 200 years had passed since Columbus first visited.
Some nonnative species, such as the brown widow, a native of Africa, can spread quickly in a new environment.
While brown widows have been found along the Gulf Coast for many years, they only recently expanded into Southern California. Today they are found in Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino and Santa Barbara counties.
It is unknown how fast the recently discovered spider will spread, Vetter said. It has been found in Ventura, Camarillo, Port Hueneme and Moorpark.
This is not the first time Vetter has discovered a new spider in California. In the 1990s, he discovered a Metaltella simoni, a spider thought to be from Argentina and southern Brazil, at UC Riverside.
The spider was originally brought to the southern United States in the mid-1940s.

The BET Awards Red Carpet Report: Crazy Good Or Some Crazy, Some Good?
The 2012 BET Awards happened last night at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A, and as always, we're here to give you the red carpet report. The fashion represented is a bit puzzling. Most of the ladies almost got it right. They were so close! Like Tatyana Ali, for instance. Her yellow-and-black ensemble would have been terrific on her, had it not been for that aggressive, vinyl-looking peplum. Or Taraji P. Henson, whose aqua colored dress was lovely, but the sparkly neckline made it look like she had fish scales. It's hard to make Selita Ebanks look bad — her Falguni & Peacock dress was a knockout, but the sheer skirt made it look like her underpants were on display. Same with Kerry Washington. She always looks so elegant, but her nude, strapless Altuzzara top made us feel like she had forgotten to put something on, on top of her basque, and just ended up going out in her J. Mendel skirt. The bustier looks underwired within an inch of its life.
We also are ho-hum about Michelle Williams — of ex-Destiny's Child fame. Nice lace dress, but reminiscent of a nightgown, much? Not fans of jumpsuits, either, and La La Vasquez's version didn't fill us with joy. And why did LaurieAnn Gibson look like she had a onesie on? You catch our drift, right? This entire red carpet had some good picks, but each was undermined by some crazy detailing. Does that make it crazy good, or just plain crazy? You decide. Have a look at our gallery that has more looks including Willow Smith's, Chaka Khan's and Regina King's.

Lucy Liu, Emmy Rossum, Julianne Moore, Sarah Hyland Among 2012 Critics' Choice Television Awards 10 Best-Dressed
What a pretty, diverse red carpet this was yesterday. The 2012 Critics' Choice Television Awards happened at the Beverly Hills Hotel, in L.A. and a lot of different styles and silhouettes were represented through all the fashion present. There was the dramatic, flowing gown courtesy Emmy Rossum's metallic Donna Karan number and Neil Lane jewelry. We had the sexy, plunging gown with Busy Phillips' Michael Kors black dress. Loved the use of turquoise accents through her Irene Neuwirth necklace and ring, as well. We had romantic, vintage looks with Zooey Deschanel's blood orange, full-skirted Oscar de la Renta dress and Alison Brie's '40's inspired frock, also by de la Renta.
Other best-dressed picks included Sarah Hyland's flirty, youthful frock by Collette Dinnigan, and her Modern Family co-star Ariel Winter, who looked just lovely in a white, tiered dress, also by the same designer. Coincidence, much? Lucy Liu's girly pale pink gown by Atelier Versace made quite an impression too. But, the sexiest look of the night, by far, goes to Julianne Moore who worked it in a black-and-white bodycon dress by Jason Wu. Her nude Walter Steiger strappy heels worked beautifully with her outfit as well. Special mention also goes to the very toned Regina King, who also wore blood orange like Zooey, but in a shorter, lacy Romona Keveza version. If your interest is piqued, then get thee to the gallery!

America Ferrera Celebrates Our Family Wedding
Ugly Betty may be coming to an end, but America Ferrera isn't going away. The actress was at the premiere of her new film Our Family Wedding in NYC last night, along with co-stars Regina King, Forest Whitaker, Lance Gross, Charlie Murphy and Carlos Mencia. It shouldn't be too long before she hits the carpet again—her How To Train Your Dragon comes out later this month.

The conservative writer David Frum said Mr. Beck's success "is a product of the collapse of conservatism as an organized political force, and the rise of conservatism as an alienated cultural sensibility." "It's a show for people who feel they belong to an embattled minority that is disenfranchised and cut off," he said.

CAVUTO: I just wonder, you know, with Congress holding all these hearings -- and you're right, there are a lot of them planned -- does anyone hold hearings on what you guys knew or didn't know or whether -- or whether you were ignorant or not? I mean, does anyone look at -- I know the buck stops with the president -- but at least it stops by you guys. What were you doing? BECERRA: Well, we were trying to get answers from the administration. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like they were giving us a complete picture of what was going on. We can only know what the administration tells us about their administration of the government. But you're right. CAVUTO: All right, but let me ask you -- but, Congressman, when -- when you and many of your colleagues were pushing for more minority lending and more expanded lending to folks who heretofore couldn't get mortgages, when you were pushing homeownership -- BECERRA: Neil, who did that?

BECERRA: Neil, who did that?
And later...
CAVUTO: -- I'm just saying, I don't remember a clarion call that said, "Fannie and Freddie are a disaster. Loaning to minorities and risky folks is a disaster."
It would be nice if Cavuto was some sort of lone wolf, but it's actually a rather standard talking point on the right, that the real problem goes back to the days when do-gooders like Andrew Cuomo were running HUD, creating things like the "Community Reinvestment Act" and forcing poor, helpless banks to stop red lining black neighborhoods and denying home loans to qualified black applicants. Poor fools. Little did they realize they'd be left holding the bag for Phil Gramm and John McCain's deregulation of the securities markets.
The truth of the matter is, Fannie and Freddie are a drop in the bucket compared to the Wall Street "banks" that bundled bad mortgages and sold them as derivatives -- bad mortgages that went, not to "poor people" as Larry Kudlow and others charge, or to "minorities" alone, but to millions of perfectly white middle class Americans, and not a few people trying their hand at "house flipping." And the bad mortgages wouldn't have infected the entire system had they not been immediately sold off, chopped up, and turned into lucrative, air-thin derivative securities that were sold at inflated values to make people like Kudlow richer.
But that's too complicated for people like Neil, who like their politics simple, neat, and racist. Oh, and it's also a clever way to argue that the problem wasn't deregulation, it was overregulation...

Over a "Beat the Press: Fox Anti-Aging Fix" graphic, Abrams urged, "Take a good look at the senator and the video they use." He then showed a clip in which Fox ran http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifvideo of a strangely youthful and vigorous-looking McCain at a campaign rally to accompany a story about McCain's current campaign schedule. However, the video also prominently features a sign reading "www.mccain2000.com," which at one point is even waved in front of McCain's face. "Fox is actually using eight year old video to discuss today's activities," Abrams marveled. He concluded cheerfully, "They report -- you decide."

Senator Obama is blaming the news media — and especially FOX News — for Michelle Obama's high negative ratings. Just under 30 percent of those polled had an unfavorable view of Michelle Obama in our last FOX News/Opinion Dynamics poll. A Rasmussen Reports poll last month put her unfavorable rating at 42 percent.Obama tells Glamour magazine that political spouses should be off-limits. He says the "conservative press — FOX News... went fairly deliberately at her in a pretty systematic way... spouses are civilians. They didn't sign up for this." Though Obama failed to mention it, his wife has made a number of official campaign stops with him and has even campaigned for him on her own. Obama then added, "If you start being subjected to rants by Sean Hannity and the like, day in day out, that'll drive up your negatives."

On his upcoming overseas trip, Barack Obama will be met along the way by the anchors of the three network evening newscasts. About 200 other journalists have also asked to join Obama during his trip. But Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post reports that John McCain has taken three foreign trips in the past four months — all unaccompanied by a single network anchor and with little fanfare. The Tyndall Report, which monitors news coverage, says that since June the nightly newscasts on the three networks spent a combined 114 minutes covering Obama while devoting just 48 minutes to McCain.

Hume and Kurtz fail to mention that the McCain camp never made the ask of the networks. Don't hate on Team Obama because they were sharp enough to do so ...
The magazine is sticking its finger in the eye of every bigot who hates the Obamas because they're African-Americans, every racist who seeks to polarize the electorate and every ignoramus who mistrusts the senator from Illinois without examining his record and background. Something else is going on here as well. This criticism centers on conservatives' strong dislike -- "hatred" is such a nasty word, no? -- of both Obama and the New Yorker, two of the most visible and successful symbols of liberal America. While there was also carping in some liberal quarters, the most vocal anger seemed to come from the other side. The liberals' opponents are jumping on the bandwagon partly in the hope of making the New Yorker look bad (i.e. unpatriotic). The magazine has written many stories blasting the Bush administration's policies, especially its handling of Iraq.
If Obama were to choose Powell, 42% of likely voters nationwide said it would make them more likely to support the Democratic candidate - as did 42% of Democrats and 43% of political independents. The Zogby International telephone poll of 1,039 likely voters nationwide was conducted July 9-13, 2008, and asked respondents how the selection of certain vice presidential candidates would affect their likelihood to vote for the two leading presidential candidates. It carries a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points.

Obviously, this fight is helpful for Obama among white voters who have never been comfortable with how Jackson practices identity politics. Also, the news helped bury the FISA story, which was creating some minor headaches for Obama. A few other things we've learned from this episode. One, Jesse's nervous about his own standing in the black political community, which is why he worked so hard to get ahead of this story. (After all, if Bill Clinton can become persona non grata with blacks for attacking Obama, so too can Jesse.) Two, there's a generational divide inside the black community on this debate over the government's role in lifting up blacks vs. personal responsibility. Here's a booking challenge to folks: Go ask Bill Cosby to pick sides in this debate.
...Obama's recent comments about Black fathers not abandoning their children and accepting moral responsibility in our lives is a lesson you apparently needed to learn when you were younger. If you had, it may not have caused you to cheat on your wife and father a child out of wedlock with a former staffer. Maybe that's what really bothered you about Obama's message to the church that Black fathers should be responsible for their children; you certainly haven't been.Living in Los Angeles I have watched your ten year old daughter Ashley Laverne Jackson grow up. Over the years I have had the pleasure to spend several holidays with your daughter including Christmas, her birthday parties and other milestones in her life. I will never turn my back on Ashley her mom and their family. It's about providing friendship, support and love to them while you have been missing in action. Your daughter has never traveled or taken a trip with you, you have an annual birthday party in Beverly Hills every year where your entire family is welcome but your youngest child has only attended it once. She has had very little contact with her siblings and has never even met her big brother Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr, who apparently doesn't want anything to do with her. And allegedly (I believe it to be true ), he was the one to leak the scandal to the media concerning your affair. Now don't get me wrong, Obama is not above reproach. He is a politician and is fair game to be fairly criticized by you or anyone else. But to personally attack Obama is crossing the line. Obama is not talking down to Black people; he wants you and other dead beat dads to spend time and care for your children properly. The destruction of the Black family and absentee fathers is a major problem in our community.It's a problem that King spoke out and fought against. 40 years after King's murder I can see why King didn't trust you.

Amid a storm of criticism that Wednesday's Democratic presidential debate focused too heavily on "gotcha" questions and not enough on substance, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos defended his decision to ask Illinois Sen. Barack Obama about his relationship with former political radical William Ayers. Stephanopoulos denied he'd been spoon fed the question by Fox News host Sean Hannity. "We have been researching this for a while," Stephanopoulos said in a phone interview from New York. ABC News political correspondent Jake Tapper, he said, had blogged about the issue April 10, after it was first reported by Politico, the political news website. "Part of what we discovered is that Sen. Obama had never been asked directly about it, even though it's being written about and talked about and Republicans are signaling that this is gonna be an issue in the general election." ...... Stephanopoulos dismissed the idea that he was doing Hannity's bidding."The questions we asked were tough and fair and appropriate and relevant and what you would expect to be asked in a presidential debate at this point," he said. "The questions we asked…are being debated around the political world every day."By this morning, more than 14,000 viewer comments had been posted on the ABC News website, the overwhelming majority critical of the debate moderators, who spent most of the first hour on what Stephanopoulous called "electability questions.""The way we thought about it was, it made sense to hit the electability questions first, then move on," he said. "I can see where reasonable people would differ with that."

Nov. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Judith Regan, who was fired last year from News Corp.'s HarperCollins unit, sued the companies, claiming to be the victim of a ``deliberate smear campaign'' aimed at protecting presidential candidate Rudolph Giuliani.Regan, former president of HarperCollins' ReganBooks division, seeks at least $100 million in damages in a complaint filed today in state Supreme Court in New York. Regan claims in her complaint that News Corp. tried to destroy her reputation because she has information about former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik that would be harmful to ex-New York Mayor Giuliani and his presidential campaign.``The smear campaign was necessary to advance News Corp.'s political agenda, which has long centered on protecting Rudy Giuliani's presidential ambitions,'' Regan said in the complaint.Regan, who published Kerik's autobiography ``The Lost Son,'' was fired from HarperCollins in December 2006 after she backed O.J. Simpson's book, ``If I Did It.'' In the book, Simpson described how he could have killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. ...
In the civil complaint filed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, Ms. Regan says the company has long sought to promote Mr. Giuliani's ambitions. But the lawsuit does not elaborate on that charge, identify the executive who she says pressured her to mislead investigators, or offer details to support her claim. ...... Ms. Regan had an affair with Mr. Kerik, who is married, beginning in the spring of 2001, when her imprint, ReganBooks, began work on his memoir, "The Lost Son." In December 2004, after the relationship had ended and shortly after Mr. Kerik's homeland security nomination fell apart, newspapers reported that the two had carried on the affair at an apartment near ground zero that had been donated as a haven for rescue and recovery workers.Mr. Kerik claimed in 2004 that he had withdrawn his nomination because of problems with the hiring of a nanny. He was indicted last week on federal tax fraud and other charges."Defendants were well aware that Regan had a personal relationship with Kerik," the complaint says. "In fact, a senior executive in the News Corporation organization told Regan that he believed she had information about Kerik that, if disclosed, would harm Giuliani's presidential campaign. This executive advised Regan to lie to, and to withhold information from, investigators concerning Kerik."One of Ms. Regan's lawyers, Brian C. Kerr of the firm of Dreier L.L.P., said she had evidence to support her claim that she had been advised to lie to federal investigators who were vetting Mr. Kerik and who might have sought to question her about their romantic involvement. But Mr. Kerr declined to discuss the nature of the evidence.The lawsuit does not say whether Ms. Regan was, in fact, interviewed as part of the inquiry into Mr. Kerik's fitness for the federal post, and if she was what she told investigators. ...

More than half of Americans say US news organizations are politically biased, inaccurate, and don't care about the people they report on, a poll published Thursday showed.And poll respondents who use the Internet as their main source of news -- roughly one quarter of all Americans -- were even harsher with their criticism, the poll conducted by the Pew Research Center said.More than two-thirds of the Internet users said they felt that news organizations don't care about the people they report on; 59 percent said their reporting was inaccurate; and 64 percent they were politically biased.More than half -- 53 percent -- of Internet users also faulted the news organizations for "failing to stand up for America".
People who rely on the internet as their main news source express relatively unfavorable opinions of mainstream news sources and are among the most critical of press performance. As many as 38% of those who rely mostly on the internet for news say they have an unfavorable opinion of cable news networks such as CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, compared with 25% of the public overall, and just 17% of television news viewers.The internet news audience is particularly likely to criticize news organizations for their lack of empathy, their failure to "stand up for America," and political bias. Roughly two-thirds (68%) of those who get most of their news from the internet say that news organizations do not care about the people they report on, and 53% believe that news organizations are too critical of America. By comparison, smaller percentages of the general public fault the press for not caring about people they report on (53%), and being too critical of America (43%).
Across every major news source, Democrats offer more favorable assessments than do independents or Republicans. The partisan divide is smallest when it comes to local TV news, which 83% of Democrats rate favorably along with 76% of Republicans. The differences are greatest for major national newspapers, such as the New York Times and Washington Post. Fully 79% of Democrats rate these newspapers favorably compared with just 41% of Republicans, based on those able to rate them.While Republicans have long been more skeptical than Democrats about major media sources, the magnitude of the difference is a relatively recent phenomenon. In Pew's first measure of media favorability in 1985, there were modest differences of opinion across party lines.
those who cite the Fox News Channel as their primary source of news stand out among the TV news audience for their negative evaluations of news organizations' practices. Fully 63% of Americans who count Fox as their main news source say news stories are often inaccurate – a view held by fewer than half of those who cite CNN (46%) or network news (41%) as their main source.Similarly, Fox viewers are far more likely to say the press is too critical of America (52% vs. 36% of CNN viewers and 29% of network news viewers). And the Fox News Channel audience gives starkly lower ratings to network news programs and national newspapers such as the New York Times and Washington Post.
Politics plays a large part in these assessments – Republicans outnumber Democrats by two-to-one (43% to 21%) among the core Fox News Channel audience, while there are far more Democrats than Republicans among CNN's viewers (43% Democrat, 22% Republican) and network news viewers (41% Democrat, 24% Republican).
Not surprisingly, the Fox News Channel audience is far more likely to say that news organizations have been unfair in their coverage of George W. Bush (49%) than those who cite CNN (19%) or network news (22%) as their main news source.Further analysis of the data shows that being a Republican and a Fox viewer are related to negative opinions of the mainstream media. The overlapping impact of these two factors can most clearly be seen in the favorability ratings of network TV news, major national newspapers, and the daily newspapers that respondents are most familiar with. For all three, Republicans who count Fox as their main news source are considerably more critical than Republicans who rely on other sources. For example, fully 71% of Fox News Republicans hold an unfavorable opinion of major national newspapers, compared with 52% of Republicans who use other sources, and 33% of those who are not Republicans.

Fox News' Pro-Giuliani Conflict of InterestBy Cliff KincaidMay 22, 2007Rudy Giuliani's much-publicized but misleading put-down of Ron Paul during the Republican presidential debate should have been tempered by a report that Saudi Arabia, the country that spawned most of the 9/11 hijackers, has been one of Giuliani's lucrative foreign clients. However, Fox News questioners Chris Wallace and Wendell Goler did not bring it up.Perhaps this can be explained by the fact that the same Associated Press story that named Saudi Arabia as a Giuliani client listed News Corporation, the parent company of Fox News, as another Giuliani client. This AP story, which was not disputed by Giuliani or News Corporation, was carried on the Fox News website.
Giuliani's law and lobbying clients have included Saudi Arabia, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., and chewing tobacco maker UST Inc.
This writer had raised questions about Fox News' co-sponsorship of the debate, based on the fact that the company had a relationship with Giuliani when he was mayor of New York City. But now we know that the relationship has continued into the period of time that Giuliani has been planning a presidential run. It is an obvious conflict of interest.
Giuliani was the first Republican candidate to come on Fox News after the debate and talk about his performance. Co-host Sean Hannity wanted to focus on Giuliani's comments on 9/11 and his attack on Paul. Later, Michael Steele, Maryland's former Lieutenant Governor, was on Fox News, declaring that Giuliani had destroyed Ron Paul. "It's done," Steele said of Paul's campaign. It wasn't mentioned that Giuliani had campaigned for Steele when he ran for a Maryland Senate seat.

By design or not, News Corporation also gained currency among black and Hispanic leaders by helping orchestrate a campaign to increase the participation of minority viewers in the television ratings system, a task it entrusted to a consulting firm with strong ties to Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Mrs. Clinton, in turn, has established a relationship with Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of News Corporation, who, for example, held a fund-raiser for her last year during her Senate re-election campaign. ...... Despite a fierce debate within the 43-member caucus over whether to sever ties with Fox News, those representing the caucus in its dealings with Fox have thus far held firm. The network itself has apparently urged the caucus to do just that. There was, for example, a meeting for caucus press secretaries attended by representatives of News Corporation and Fox News, where talk turned to how to publicly present the merits of the debate. (Also working in Fox's favor is that the debate is to be held in Detroit, the home city of Representative Carolyn Cheeks Kirkpatrick, the caucus chairwoman.) ......The partnership between Fox News and the caucus began in earnest in 2003, when the news channel responded to the caucus's request for a broadcast partner for its debates for the 2004 presidential election. (Technically, the caucus was sponsoring the debate through an affiliate group, the Congressional Black Caucus Political Education and Leadership Institute; the use of the institute gives the caucus itself some distance, even though several prominent caucus members are on the institute board.)Fox's proposal included broadcasting the debates in prime time, giving the caucus a say in selecting moderators and covering much of the production cost, said one former caucus staff member close to the negotiations.Months after joining forces with the caucus, Fox News created internships for students at Morgan State University, a black college in Baltimore, in the Congressional district of Representative Elijah E. Cummings, who was then chairman of the caucus.In June 2003, its political action committee, known as News America-Fox, made a $1,000 contribution to Mr. Cummings's political committee.The Fox group later made contributions of at least $1,000 each to other caucus members, including Representatives Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas, and Gregory W. Meeks and Edolphus Towns of New York. The political arm of the caucus itself received a $5,000 contribution from the Fox group, in May 2006. And on the Web site of its foundation, the caucus lists News Corporation among several dozen corporate sponsors.
In his letter to The Hill on May 17, "No CBC member has urged institute to forgo Fox debate," Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) proclaims that there is a "clear consensus" within the Congressional Black Caucus that the CBC Political Education and Leadership Institute should proceed with its plans to co-host presidential debates with Fox. This claim simply doesn't match up with reality and it's hard to imagine how Thompson could believe otherwise.At least 10 CBC members have stated their opposition to the Fox debate deal, either in The Hill or in conversations with our organization. Most, despite our urging, do not want to comment publicly, saying that they prefer to express their concerns in private.Thompson's letter appears to be an attempt to undermine the voices of other CBC members. By belittling dissenting opinions as "misperceptions" and "misleading statements," Thompson communicates to The Hill readers and CBC members that he has the power to speak on behalf of the entire caucus, without challenge, regardless of what has already been said.It's unsurprising that some members are reticent to express their disagreement with Thompson and Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-Mich.), the two members most eager for a Fox partnership. Thompson dug his heels in long ago, and Kilpatrick's vehement support for the debate is hard to separate from the fact that it would be held in her home district (Detroit), where her son is mayor. It's clear that challenging the Fox partnership means challenging two powerful leaders in the CBC. With last week's letter, Thompson made it clearer. …Thompson describes resistance as coming from "liberal activist groups" concerned primarily about Fox's "conservative bias." What he doesn't mention is that across the country, black community newspapers, columnists, radio hosts and bloggers have expressed outrage that the CBC appears to be — as one CBC member put it — "getting in bed with a racist network." …
You may have heard by now that John Edwards was the first candidate to officially say no to the Fox News debate in Nevada -- and because of the hard work of so many grassroots and netroots Democrats, news is breaking tonight that Fox is out.Fox has already started striking backat John for saying no. (There's a surprise - Fox attacking a Democrat.) Last night, Roger Ailes - the life-long Republican operative who is now Chairman of Fox News Channel - said that any candidate "who believes he can blacklist any news organization is making a terrible mistake" and "is impeding freedom of speech and free press."And John's not their only target. Tonight Fox News Vice President David Rhodes is telling news organizations not to get involved in the Nevada Democratic Caucus because of "radical fringe" groups - meaning grassroots Democrats (that would be you) - who objected to Fox's long history of spreading Republican propaganda at the expense of Democratic leaders.The whole right-wing is getting in on the attack; the Drudge Report is blaring the headline: "War! Dems Pull Out of Fox News Debate."Enough is enough. It's time to send a clear message to Fox News and their allies that their right-wing talking points and temper tantrums won't go unchallenged anymore - when it comes to what Democrats should do in the Democratic primary, we'll decide - no matter what they report:Fox News has already proven they have no intention of providing "fair and balanced" coverage of any Democrat in this election. [Emphasis added]In recent weeks they have run blatant lies about Senator Obama's background. And Fox was only too happy to give Ann Coulter a platform to spew more hate a few days after her bigoted attack on Senator Edwards and the gay community.Now it's time for Democrats to stand together and send a clear message to Roger Ailes, Fox News and all the rest of them: bias isn't balance, but turning tables is fair.The truth is, Fox News can "report" whatever they want. And when it works for us, we'll deal with them on our terms. But this campaign is about responsibility and accountability, and we need to send the message to Fox that if they want to be the corporate mouthpiece of the Republican Party more than they want to be an impartial news outlet, they shouldn't expect Democrats to play along.

Also I said later in that post, which you removed, is that Paragon Studios themselves are helping in the efforts to save the game. They know first hand whether the game was dead or unprofitable, If it was either or both, I do not see them bothering in saving it, or encouraging players to do so, when there would be no hope in the matter.

If you don't want to help saving the game, don't sink it even more with your stupidity!

Good Gravy!!
Well its upsetting for me as i tend to play city of heroes alot.
What the most irritating thing about them closing up.....is that they literaly had the developement team showing off new things and had a new build onthe beta that really added alot of things and new powers and changed the game areas.
Then suddenly onthe very next day the group was telling players when things where going to hit the live servers....the company got them into the office inthe morning on friday and fired the entire studio...then said everyhting would stop.
Its annoying.....its alot like Hellgate London with what happened.....where they had all the cool stuff on beta...but now we wont get it becasue they are closing the game down.
Ah well....I guess i am mostly frustrated as in I dont know what other game i will actualy play....mostly everything else doesnt have the same stealth or travel system... all other games are sub-par in those categories...and most of the attack and level systems and such are sub par as well in other games. Then there is exemplar and side kick systems that no other game has come close to yet.

One doesn't have to be subbed as a vip for the game to make money either cause people are buying a lot from the item shop due to the fact that they are releasing new powersets and other good things that people want and buy in the first place.
So it would be nice that instead of blaming it to a community you don't even know and discouraging people, to rather help by signing the petition.
I was in CoH since the first CB, started at the release and stayed for 5+ years with 2 subscriptions(had them running even at times I didn't play because the game was worth it and the people in the game and behind the game even more).
Came back into it as vip when it went f2p and stayed for a few months, then started jumping in occassionaly only.
Just unlocked more slots in July and bought another new powerset from the mall which I enjoyed playing together with friends that are still there actively and new people that I got to know.
The game itself is one of the best and one of the most innovative and revolutionary mmos ever
Was the first mmo that had (except flying that was done before):
- no gear progression
- brought the sidekick and malefactor systems to the mmo world
- the best character editor out of all available mmos out there
- mission architect
- base construction
- superspeed, flying, teleportation, super jump, ninja run, beast run, hovering, jetpack among many other unique traveling powers.
among many other unique and innovative things.
First superhero mmo and still the best ouf of them, even their graphics are a bit outdated in the meantime.

First of all, everyone is entitled to their opinion...whether it may good or bad.
Secondly, I think what most people are failing to realize is that we are not "demanding" that NCSoft keep this game. What we are asking is that they consider it or at least consider selling the rights to another company, cutting servers, or any possibility that would allow us to keep our game.
Third, our efforts are not solely to sustain our game but also to show support for the amazing development team that was thrown out into the streets with no prior warning.
I see many posts from people stating that the game was "in the red" or not making any profit. In all actuality, the game was making a profit after expenses. Granted, it was a small profit, but a profit nonetheless. The official statement from the company is not that the game was losing money, but states "In a realignment of company focus and publishing support, NCsoft has made the decision to close Paragon Studios."
I also see quite a few people stating that we should all quit whining and spend money on the game to show that we don't want it to be shut down. That's impossible when the company has completely stopped any monetary transactions.
I must say that it doesn't help players' outrage when they just payed for 3, 6, or 12 month subs to have the transactions stopped, then have the company post that they will not be giving refunds, but you can transfer your paid time to another NCSoft game. This doesn't affect me personally as my husband and I paid our subs on a monthly basis, but I can understand the frustration. Also, not all but many players don't enjoy the genre of the other games offered by NCSoft. I know I wouldn't want to be paying for a game that I had no interest in.
Those who say the game is old and should be shut down because of it .... well there are other games that are just as old and still going.
All in all, our community understands that our efforts may be futile or they may be wildly successful. However, whatever the outcome may be, we all stood up, took action, and supported the game and community we have all grown to love instead of crying in a corner. I would think any gamer, no matter what your game or genre of choice may be, could at least understand our efforts whether you support them or not.

So I'll agree that CoH messed up with their F2P conversion somewhat. Too many things given away to long-term players on top of locking some of the basic ATs away from people who previously purchased the game but hadn't played for long enough.
That said, I'm not really sure where people are getting the idea that there's only 5k people subscribed to the game. There were 5k or so people who showed up for the protest the other day, but neither was that all the subscirbers nor was it just subscribers.
The game wasn't making a ton of money to be sure, but it was in the black (it made money) as far as I've been able to determine just like it had been for years. It actually made more money than GW1 did this year, though I imagine the GW2 tie-in from the hall of monuments will encourage at least some people to go back and try it.

But it is what it is RIP CoX , The only true Superhero game!

Doesn't sux so much when it's been a handful of years since you last fired it up anyway.
Best of luck to the people trying to save it for the current players.
What are the requirements for getting Paragon City protected as a historical landmark?
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

Ok... I can not argue outside of the financial report as i am neither part of PS or NCSOFT but COH was the last non-inhouse game in their stable. This might be a contributoing factor. Also i never said it did not make money (or at least i did not intend to say that) i said it made the least money (outside of GW1, but it does not have any development and it is bad to piss off the GW fans at this point) But if the report say the game makes very little money and you have several threads full of people saying "i used to play but not any more" then "we" who ever they are do not weigh in as much as they used to do.
So yes there is still a point for Paragon studios to try and save the game (for their own jobs if nothing else) even if the game is doing baddly as long as it is makeing a profit (making a profit is not the same as doing good enough, especially not in a company as big as NCSoft) as they might be able to run the game on their own outside of NCSoft or with another company.
That still does not validate the "We were all still playing and paying and subbing, " as it is still a mystery who "We" are and if "we" will be enough to make a difference.
When do the good fight turn bad, Smedley is a good example.
This have been a good conversation

This installment of Photoshop CC for Photographers goes beyond the basics and focuses on the features and techniques that will dramatically improve your photographs and maximize your efficiency. Photographer and teacher Chris Orwig first illustrates the strengths of Bridge, the Adobe Photoshop companion program, as an organizational tool and a device for batch processing photographs. He then moves on to mastering Photoshop, starting with layers—targeting, moving, and merging them with greater speed and efficiency. Then learn how to make better selections, refine their edges, and paint in adjustments, as well as increase the color accuracy of your images with Levels and Curves. Plus, learn to work with blending modes, apply creative color effects, and use the Burn and Dodge tools to improve contrast—a classic photographic technique updated for the digital age. Chris also covers correcting perspective and distortion, creating photo composites and panoramas, and working with DSLR video in Photoshop.
(music playing) If you are ready to take your Photoshop skills to the next level, well, you've come to the right place. My name is Chris Orwig. And welcome to this course, which is part of our series, Photoshop for Photographers, where we focus in on those features in Photoshop which are most helpful to us in order to improve our photographs. In this course, we'll cover a wide range of topics. Let me highlight a few. We'll talk about how we can effectively use layers, and how we can use layers in order to organize and group our photographs.
And also how we can create what's called a layer clipping mask, and how we can target and move layers as well. We'll explore how we can build advanced selection, using tools like the Quick Select tool, and how we can improve the edges of our selections as well. Next, we'll look at how we can make selective adjustments using masks, and how we can paint in adjustments into certain areas of our photographs. We'll explore how we can work with blending modes, in order to create special effects or to change the overall look in a photograph. We'll take some time to talk about color.
Here we'll look at how we can replace or change color. And we'll explore how we can apply a creative look to our photographs using different tools and filters. We'll examine how we can remove or correct distortion and perspective. And we'll look at how we can combine multiple photographs together in order to create a panoramic image. And we'll even talk about the topic of working with our video files in Photoshop. Well, we will cover all of these topics and more. So, thanks for joining me in this course, let's begin.

The rule that takes place here is:
Good sound in, good sound out.
90% of your final sound comes from your source. The amp.
80% of the tone of the amp is at player's hands.
So for a nice sound we will need a nice amp head and amp cabinet.
Engl, Mesa Boogie, Bogner (…) usually with a 2×12 or 4×12 cabinet are the best choice.
Unfortunately, we do not have money for this crazy stuff so just set up what you've got that sounds the best !
- Spend most of the time on your amp settings and mic placement. This is the most crucial step. Don't think like "I'll fix it in the mix". No you fix it first and then you record it.
- Connect your mic to your audio interface/soundcard or mixer with an xlr connector.
xlr connector
- Put the mic (top choice mic for recording guitars: Shure sm57) at the center of the cone a little off-axis just like this picture.
Photo taken by kevinkemp.com
- You get a treblier/brighter sound when the mic is at the center of the cone and a more bassy/muddy sound when you move it at the edge of the cone. Move the mic around the cone to find the sweet spot.
- Move the mic from the dead centre (just a nudge) to avoid annoying fizz (or place it like the in the picture above) .
- We all love high gain, but gain more than 7 is useless and can make our mix difficult. Less gain usually does the trick trust me. You don't have to crank it up!
- The guitar player makes a HUGE difference to the sound that he will produce. If one take is "almost good" erase it and make him play "perfect". It's not your fault if he doesn't know how to play. You are a sound engineer you want the best sound, you want to do your job right. If he wants his song to have a nice sound, make him give it to you ^^
- Open your daw. Adjust the signal level so that you have the loudest one, but be careful of clipping.
- Press "Record" and… let me know what you have
Have fun recording!

The victim of a courthouse shooting in December 2011 is now the subject of a restraining order. Tim Scannell has been ordered to stay away from a 17-year-old girl from Grand Marais.
In the request for that restraining order, the family says they fear for their daughter's safety. In court documents filed Tuesday, December 4, the family said Scannell was a longtime family friend, who told them in September that he had fallen in love with their daughter.
In a conversation with the girl's mother found in the request for the restraining order, Scannell said "their relationship became physical over the summer, with 'kissing and touching, but nothing illegal.'"
The court documents say Scannell then read love poetry that he had sent the woman's daughter, and told her that they had talked about having children together someday, but decided he would be too old.
The request for the restraining order includes text messages allegedly sent that same night from Scannell to the girl's mother. One text message included in the documents says "I am so sorry. I will not talk to [her] again. Please take care of her. She's not gonna understand. I know I f***** everything up. I'm sorry. She won't want anyone to know. Please take care of her. Please."
According to the court documents, the family says their daughter went to Europe for a high school semester trip, and Scannell went to Arizona for psychological trauma treatment. In the documents, the family said they thought Scannell wouldn't have access to a cell phone or their daughter, but the daughter's host mother told the family "communication from Tim has been ongoing from August until the present."
The documents say that once the family found out, they "immediately arranged for their daughter to shorten her study abroad and return home early...so that we could monitor her more closely and get her into treatment."
Near the end of the request for the restraining order, the family wrote "obviously he [Scannell] cannot be trusted and we have no idea what he is capable of at this point. We fear for our daughter's safety, her physical and emotional well-being, and her future. We feel there is a significant potential hazard to [our daughter] as well as the rest of our family if Tim is not prohibited from access to our daughter or our family. We cannot over-estimate the emotional toll this situation has taken on our family."
While the request for the restraining order was filed in Cook County on Tuesday, court administration tells Eyewitness News the matter is being handled in Lake County.
Eyewitness News put in calls to Scannell and the girl's family, but they did not immediately respond. However, Scannell's attorney made a statement Thursday afternoon, saying the prosecutor regrets the pain he's caused, but he's committed no crime and did not engage in "sexual conduct" with the teen.
Scannell and another man were shot by Daniel Schlienz last December after a jury found him guilty of having sex with a minor.

I normally do electrical work but took on a job with an IT friend and had to drill through an 8" concrete wall to run a bundle of data cables. This bit made the job so easy, was through the wall in under 2 minutes. My IT friend when he saw it said, "it looks like something out of a horror film, it looks vicious".

Comments about SDS-max 1-3/4 in. D 18 in. Rotary Hammer Bit:
Bosch brand drills have always performed and this bit is no different, if you think that cheap no-brand drill will do the job, I can tell you from experience it won't. I would love to find these drills cheaper, but you get what you pay for and this is a very good quality product that will live up to the demands you place on it.
