Justin Bieber thinks Cheryl Cole is "hot".
The 'Baby' hitmaker - who recently crossed paths with the brunette beauty at Radio One's Big Weekend in Bangor, Wales - was overheard telling friends backstage he thought the pop star beauty was attractive and has hinted he wants to date her.
He tweeted: "Just did an interview where they asked me if there was anyone I wanted to work with from the show's line-up. I said Cheryl Cole. of course.
"I mean I heard Cheryl just became single. I mean aw c'mon!! Haha. What's up Cheryl?"
However, it would appear the 16-year-old pop star's hopes for romance with the 'Fight For this Love' singer - who recently filed for divorce from her ex-husband Chelsea soccer star Ashley Cole amid rumours of his infidelities - were short-lived, as 'Mean Girls' actress Lindsay Lohan warned Justin the singer is too mature for him.
She tweeted: "She is too old for you! Be wise Young Buck."
Justin recently revealed he prefers natural women than those who pile on lots of make-up in the hope of grabbing his attention.
He said: "I don't like girls who wear lots of make-up and you can't see their face. Some girls are beautiful but insecure and look much better without the make-up, but decide to put loads on.
"I like girls with nice eyes and a nice smile."

A fanart I made of Corvo Attano (Dishonored) wearing Ezio Auditore's (Assassin's Creed) clothes. This was a really fun project to do because these 2 guys are AWESOME!!! I had so much time these past days because...IT'S SEMBREAK!!!!!! OWHYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH, NO SCHOOL WORK TO WORRY ABOUT!!! YEAH! hahahaha The first time I saw Corvo Attano, i thought, what if he was wearing Ezio's clothes? or Ezio wearing his mask? Then this happened. I hope you like it guys!
PS CS6 - 15hrs
THANK YOU GUYS FOR LIKING THIS WORK! I am really overwhelmed by the number of views and downloads this artwork got. Thank you all! Oh, one more thing, please don't use this artwork illegally, Corvo and Ezio are properties of Arkane Studios/Bethesda Softworks and Ubisoft respectively.

Seeing either of them individually would be bad enough but fused they are unstoppable.
I think my brain blew up....Aboneoajfmkjsfh....
The fandoms is real.
that is so creepy..
Very well done, I'd say that the mask is the most detailed I've seen on Deviant. (No insult intended to other Corvo Deviants)
thank you! I've put too much time on the mask that I completely forgot about the details of the armor.
...Best assassin ever!
This is absolutley, truly AWESOME. really creative and... i'm breathless... Extremely good work
Corvo Creed
This. Is. Awesome!
He is freakn' scary..O-O
Hmm...looks like Iron Man in an assassin outfit
Wait...is someone comparing that boring, repetative series with new original steampunk game?
TARAY GIO!!! pa-despicable me ka naman! XD
Corvo's Creed.
*Picture... did you authorize it??
sillies, its obviously agent 47 wearing a disguise
This character (as in the mixture of Altair and Corvo) would be the most terrifying assassin the gaming universe has ever seen.
All hes missing is a little bit of alex mercer, imagine the abilities gifted by the outsider, the assassins skill of ezio, and a plethora of mercers mutant abilities, bio bombs, the ability to consume people to become them and gain their memories. Nothing could stop the guy.
Hahaha! It's like Goku and Vegeta transforming to Vegito/Gogeta
Somehow i can see this as some sort of Assassin's creed future thing.
Corvo auditore da firenze.
O hey. Should be like some futuristic Assassin's creed.
O hey. Should be like some futuristic Assassin's creed.
Plot twist! All throughout the games, Desmond's descendant was actually going through Desmond's memories!
I swear! Whoever makes a Flash animation for this wins 1 Internet.
Honor for you.
A Dishonoured's Creed.
hahaha! how should i do it?
I have no idea! :3
hahaha, i know, Corvo wielding a hidden blade, and a tomahawk.
Dude please, make it a Wallpaper, please make it 1600 x 900!
If Corvo and Ezio got in a bed together... Their child would be 30 levels of badass... I love it! Great mix
that came out wrong... hahahahaha! maybe it should be maria and corvo? hahahaha bte, thank you!
Ezio- you better bring my clothes clean. Oil stains are impossible to Remove.
Corvo- yeah yeah, I got a freaked mask
Corvo- yeah yeah, I got a freaked mask

Favorite shirt I own
These fit great! They are slimmer than a lot of other t-shirts out there and run a bit longer also so would be a great choice for someone who is tall and skinny. Or if you are looking for a shirt that doesn't fit like a box. I own five now.
I wear a large in most shirts and that's what I ordered in this. Fits great.
Runs very small, but quality shirt
This shirt is obviously a slim fit shirt, but no one tells you that. I hesitated to order an XL for my husband because sometimes XL is too big depending on the brand. This shirt was way too tight!!! It is a great quality shirt, and he did like that it was long (as someone else wrote) but the XL was too slim fitting for my husband that usually wears a L/XL.
Gold Coast Shirt Nice But Long
Gold Coat shirts are longer than most shirts. Good for someone that is tall or likes longer shirts.
How does this shirt size compare to a...

Ian McConnell
Tara Russell, Senior Features Writer / / News
IAN McConnell was so morbidly obese his colleagues wanted an inflatable ramp to evacuate him from work in an emergency.
He was eating himself to an early grave.
He tipped the scales at a staggering 37 stone, had Type 2 diabetes and got out of breath taking a few steps.
But the single dad of three is starting 2014 on a high.
Not only has he lost HALF his body weight losing a staggering 16 stone, but he has been reunited with his estranged daughter he hadn't seen for nearly 20 years.
His daughter, Louise, from his first marriage got in touch after channel hopping and seeing her dad appear on a reality fat-fighting programme when he went under the knife for a gastric bypass.
Now he has met his grandchildren for the first time and has been granted a new lease of life.
"The way things were going, who knows what I'd weigh now," he says.
"It sounds dramatic, but I've been given my life back.
"I'm doing things now I'd given up on."
Ian before
Ian says he was always slim at school and was the football and badminton captain.
But tragedy meant he resorted to food for comfort.
Having lost his dad when he was just 11, his worst nightmare came true when his son Paul died suddenly while Ian was at work.
Ian had separated from his first wife and his 19-year-old son was staying at his Hampshire home when he developed appendicitis. He died from peritonitis.
Ian explains: "He had complained of a pain in his side. I went to work and said I'd register for the doctor on the way home.
"I went in, gave the address and the receptionist said I had better see the doctor.
Promoted stories
"He told me 'I'm awfully sorry I've been called to your house today, your son is dead.' It was horrendous. There isn't a day goes by I don't think about him."
As a result of the shock death, he lost touch with his daughter Louise who was then aged 13 and lived in Wales.
He fell in love with the woman who supported him through his loss. Ian says he began losing weight and though 19 years his junior, he married her and had two children Holly, 17, and Katie, 16.
But the nine-year relationship broke down and the children's mother moved out leaving him to bring up the girls alone.
He was granted six months off work for compassionate readjustment and turned to food more than ever before.
The legal advisor at Southampton Magistrates Court would get home from work and eat with the girls then eat again once they were asleep. He'd sometimes even get up in the middle of the night to eat again.
"I love the girls dearly but as soon as they were in bed, I was here alone with just my thoughts.
"Sometimes I'd even stay a little longer with them."
Ian became so big even his colleagues and his boss took him aside to express their concerns for his health.
"I was indignant about three years ago when we had a fire drill and in a post-mortem of it they said 'we did notice you didn't get out as quickly as everyone else'.
"They were even saying 'perhaps we should have those airport inflatable ramps on the top floor to get Ian out.' It might have been said in a joke but it was undoubtable, I was a concern to them."
But it wasn't just at work.
He had outgrown the clothes at High and Mighty a specialist shop for larger people.
Instead he was a 10 xl buying underwear from Big Bloomers and it once cost him £1,300 to get a suit especially made.
He would drive around for half an hour just to find a parking space near to the entrance of WestQuay to take the girls shopping.
He'd avoid mirrors and the camera. "It's shameful to admit", he says. "I look back now and it must have been quite horrific for people around me.
"What I will take to my grave is the fact I wasn't able to do it for my two girls before. I am ashamed of that. I should have been looking into their cots thinking 'what are they left with if anything ever happened to me?' I knew being this fat could kill me."
It was a GP appointment for cellulitus in his leg that prompted him to take action, in October 2010.
The doctor hadn't mentioned his weight and Ian joked with him about it.
It led to them discussing the options of a gastric band or bypass.
By April 2011, Ian was sure he wanted a gastric bypass operation to staple his stomach to the size of an egg.
One of Britain's most sought after bariatric surgeons Shaw Summers, agreed to carry out the £14,000 operation on the NHS that August and asked Ian to feature on the reality programme Fat Doctor.
The cameras rolled as Ian went under the knife for the risky surgery – which shrinks the stomach so much he could only handle eating ramekin-sized portions afterwards.
His 32-year-old estranged daughter, Louise spotted her dad on TV.
Ian, explains: "Suddenly a letter arrived from Louise saying 'I was channel hopping, saw the name McConnell Southampton, thought 'that's a coincidence', saw two half sisters (she now knows them as) say 'our dad' and tears ran down her face.
"She said 'he's not just their dad, he's my dad' so made contact.
"We began swapping emails, then met and are now reunited as a family. The surgery gave me my life back."
Ian who physically cannot eat as much as he did before still hopes to lose more weight.
He is also desperate for the £4,000 operation to remove his 'apron' the excess skin he has due to the extreme weight loss.
"I've not got a body to be proud of, I'm still fat but compared to before, it's incredible.
"People I haven't seen for a while will say 'you look fabulous' and it boosts your confidence. I can now get into 3xl clothes off the hanger. It feels unbelievable."
Ian is now looking forward to being the more active dad he has become with his two teenage daughters and grandchildren.
"I'm a jolly person and I've never changed despite putting on weight," says Ian who comperes charity events.
"I have three delightful daughters and for me they are the most important thing.
"I want to do it all now. I want to last that bit longer for them."
He says morbidly obese people have the power to change.
"It's never too late to do it. I'd say if you have struggled for as many years as I have, with nothing working at all, and someone says to you: 'I can make your stomach smaller, clinically you will be safe. You can begin to live a more normal life which means you won't be a bigger drain to the NHS service, you will feel better in yourself, you won't get diseases you would have got' then do it.
"I've got a new lease of life. It's as simple as that."

Congrats Ian - I'm happy that it all went well for you. It certainly isn't the 'easy way out' that people are led to believe. For every success story there is, unfortunately, a unsuccessful story to tell. The long term implications are still not known about Roux-en-y, short term results are excellent that is in no doubt. But having had the op myself I can tell a different tale of pain, blocked bowel, malnutrition, almost constant vomiting, ugly stretched excess skin causing problems...the list is endless :-(
And then there is the constant jibes when uneducated people find out you've had it done. It's sad. Not every GB recipient has eaten their way overweight.
Good luck for the future Ian, you've done well! I wish you all the best :-)

WASHINGTON -- Why did Monday's Democratic assault on John Bolton at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have so little to do with how he would perform as U.S. ambassador at the United Nations and so much about Cuban biological warfare? It may be partially explained by tactical considerations. But the more significant reason is Sen. Christopher Dodd's long-range goal of normalized relations with Fidel Castro.
Coordinated Democratic grilling of Under Secretary of State Bolton avoided stigmatizing him as a conservative critic of the widely unpopular UN. Leading the attack on Bolton, Dodd even said he agreed with much of Bolton's criticism of the world organization. Only Sen. Barbara Boxer could not restrain herself from declaring how "outrageous" it was to put a conservative U.S. representative at the UN.
The other Democrats followed Dodd's lead in dwelling on a 2002 speech by Bolton alleging Cuba's development of germ warfare for export to rogue nations. The link to the UN was that another exaggerated weapons-of-mass-destruction claim would further undermine U.S. credibility there. However, Dodd was following his regular practice of attacking anti-Castro officials, having barred Senate confirmation of Otto Reich as assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs and driven him from the government.
Dodd's real problems with Bolton go beyond the UN. While Democrats temporarily controlled the Senate in 2001, Dodd helped delay for two months Bolton's confirmation as under secretary for arms control. Bolton was finally confirmed, 57 to 43, with Dodd voting no.
A year later on May 6, 2002, Dodd exploded when Bolton's address to the Heritage Foundation reported "at least a limited offensive biological warfare research and development effort" in Cuba, sending technology "to other rogue states." This revelation, Bolton has said, was long delayed by the presence at the Pentagon of a Castro spy, Ana Belen Montes, as senior Cuban intelligence analyst.
Bolton's disclosure threatened efforts by Dodd and his longtime Foreign Relations Committee staffer, Janice O'Connell, to normalize relations with Cuba. Dodd demanded a hearing with Bolton in the dock, but Secretary of State Colin Powell would not make Bolton available.

Mrs. Dobson is focused on building into our lives an understanding of the importance of prayer well beyond what she does to promote Thursday's event. Her book on prayer, Certain Peace in Uncertain Times, has had a tremendous impact on my own life in helping me to understand the importance of meeting God throughout my day.
As Mrs. Dobson points out so well, prayer is intensely personal, and in America, our constitution protects the opportunity to pray in the public square too. The National Day of Prayer provides a forum for the community of faith to take advantage of our freedom to worship together in a collective statement of our belief in God and His standards, wisdom, love and forgiveness.
It was President Ronald Reagan who said, " If we forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under."
And, it was John Adams who declared, "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other."
Read the statements by Shirley Dobson, Ronald Reagan and John Adams again, and think about what they mean – about how they reflect the truth of the verses in Chronicles and Proverbs quoted above. The importance of our nation joining in prayer becomes very clear if you set aside the distractions of life and focus on the simple truth.
People of faith are gathering by the millions all around the country this Thursday in churches, stadiums, homes and parks to pray for our nation. A simple visit to the website of the National Day of Prayer will provide you with details of events and gatherings in your area. If you don't see information online for your town, call 1-719-531-3379 for details. And if by chance your town is not listed, why not call a few of your friends together for a time of prayer?
If you can't physically join others this Thursday in prayer, then take a few minutes wherever you are and remember to call on God on behalf of our nation. As we gather in His name – no matter where we may be – our prayers will be heard.

Femme Four by Nemo-the-EverbeingWatch
©2013-2016 Nemo-the-Everbeing
In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of 'Doctor Who', I decided to redesign the costumes of each Doctor for cosplay, focusing specifically not only on making female versions of the Doctor's costumes, but SUPER feminine. I'm sure others have done it already, but here is the fourth of this new series, Dimensionally Transcendent Puffy Skirts: a redesign of the Fourth Doctor's costume. This one was a lot of fun, and ended up rather a literal translation, but a lot of the Fourth Doctor's costume worked well for a feminine translation (as Romana proved!)

Free agency seems to be trickling to a close. We all know what the Eagles have lost -- a whole bunch of veteran savvy and leadership. They've gained an offensive tackle, where they probably needed two, and a couple of safeties. Fullback Leonard Weaver remains unsigned. His courtship with the Eagles seems to have gone stale. Surely Weaver will sign somewhere soon; the last time a weaver took this long, Penelope was trying to hold off suitors until her husband got home.
Panic, though, would be silly. We're still more than a month away from the draft. Neither Arizona wideout Anquan Boldin nor Buffalo offensive tackle Jason Peters has been traded. Either one of those guys would instantly make this a much better offseason, particularly Boldin. The Eagles have two first-round picks, if they don't trade one or both of them either for Boldin/Peters or just to move up in the draft. I think they can get out of the first day of the draft with a starting-quality offensive tackle and a significant running back complement to Brian Westbrook.
If that happens, they're a solid contender again in '09, despite everything. That's even more true with Boldin or Peters added to the mix. Of course, we've yet to see the resolution of the supposed Donovan McNabb acquisitions test for wanting to stay here. I really think No. 5's state of mind has a lot to do with his play, and until he declares he's on board and enthusiastic, the offseason will remain incomplete.

- Willie Clark's recorded words key to his conviction on killing witness
- Oct 31:
- Willie Clark, killer of Broncos' Darrent Williams, found guilty in second murder

- Denver jury begins deliberating in witness-murder case against Willie Clark
For the first time in nearly five years, Willie D. Clark publicly revealed his alibi for his whereabouts the night a state witness was slain outside her home.
Clark's lawyer said his client was visiting his cousin's house Dec. 6, 2006, when Kalonniann Clark was chased down and shot to death while screaming into her phone to a 911 operator.
"He couldn't have been there," David Beller told a Denver jury during opening statements in his trial Tuesday. "He certainly was not there at the time the guns were pulled."
Kalonniann Clark (no relation) was just days away from testifying against gang leader Brian Kenneth Hicks in an attempted-murder case.
Hicks, 32, was convicted this year of ordering his gang associates to have Kalonniann Clark killed before she could testify that he shot at her outside a Denver nightclub.
Shun Birch, 29, an associate of Willie Clark's, was convicted this year of being one of the two gunmen who stormed into her home with masks on and shot her. Prosecutors say Willie Clark was the other.
Prosecutor AnnMarie Spain told jurors that 28-year-old Wil lie Clark was Hicks' right-hand man, who arranged the killing on his "boss man's" behalf. Spain said Clark hired Birch to help for $20,000, then accompanied him to Kalonniann Clark's home to carry out the hit.
Hicks was in jail at the time of the homicide on an unrelated drug case and spent his days communicating with his fellow gang members on the phone.
Denver police Detective Joel Humphrey listened to hours of recorded jail phone calls between Hicks and Willie Clark in which they discussed "getting the job done" in coded language, Spain said.
" 'We dusted that (expletive),' " Spain told jurors, describing one of the conversations. "These are the words of the defendant, Willie Clark. Cold, calculated, cruel. Just business."
But Beller told the jury the theory developed by police was wrong and that they misinterpreted the gang's slang. Clark was discussing drug deals, not the killing of a witness, he said.
Witnesses expected to testify against Willie Clark are former gang associates and felons who got plea deals with the government in exchange for their testimony and can't be trusted, Beller said.
The defense lawyer suggested Daniel "Ponytail" Harris, one of the witnesses who will testify against Willie Clark, better matches the description of one of the gunmen described by Kalonniann Clark's husband.
The jury of 10 men and six women — four of them alternates — is not aware that Willie Clark was convicted last year of killing Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams in a 2007 drive-by shooting. He is serving a life sentence plus 1,152 years in prison in that case.
This murder trial is expected to last two weeks in the courtroom of Judge Christina Habas.

Top district officials had nothing but words of praise for all she accomplished in her 57 years.
"Susan Burke truly cared for her students and colleagues, and worked tirelessly to help ensure them the best possible school experience," said Luke Rakoczy, Van Antwerp principal. "As principal, I could always depend on her for sound, even-handed, well-thought out advice.
"Our school is far better for her having taught here," Rakoczy said. "We will miss her tremendously."
Superintendent Kevin Baughman joined in mourning for Burke saying, "Susan's enthusiasm for teaching and love of children and colleagues only grew with time. As a parent, teacher and person, Sue was a role model we all can learn from."
Burke's funeral was held on Thursday, Jan. 17, in Latham. She is survived by two sons who live in California, Andy and Kevin, and a daughter, Jennifer, who is a middle school teacher in the area. Those interested may donate to the American Cancer Society, 260 Osborn Road, Loudonville 12211 in her memory. ""

Investors and other private homebuyers have picked up their pace of homebuying at Orange County foreclosure sales, new figures from ForeclosureRadar show. The foreclosure-tracking website reported that nearly four out of every 10 Orange County homes sold at foreclosure sales in January were bought by third-party bidders rather than going back to the bank without any bids.
[caption id="attachment_159112" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Click to enlarge"][/caption]
A year ago nearly three-fourths of all foreclosure sales ended with the properties going back to the banks without any bids.
Meanwhile, the latest figures from the show an acceleration of foreclosures.
Specifically, ForeclosureRadar's latest report shows:
- 38% of the homes going to a foreclosure sale were purchased by a third party – either an investor or someone planning to live in the home – rather than go back to the lender.
- Third-party buyers purchased homes at just 22% to 29% of all O.C. foreclosure sales in late 2010 and early 2011.
- The average time needed to complete a foreclosure, from first missed payment through a foreclosure auction – dropped to about 12.5 months in January. That compares to about 17 months and nine days in October. Foreclosures took an average of 15 months and one week in all of 2011, ForeclosureRadar figures show.
- 645 Orange County homes were seized in foreclosure sales in January, up from December, but down 17.1% from January 2011's tally.
- Default notices – filed after a homeowner missed three or more monthly payments – totaled 1,243 in January, up from December, but down 21.5% from January 2011.
ForeclosureRadar's tally of foreclosures was significantly higher than that reported by DataQuick.
A comparison of the two reports shows:
- DataQuick reported 530 Orange County homes seized at foreclosure sales in January – 115 fewer than reported by ForeclosureRadar.
- DataQuick reported a 15.3% drop in foreclosures from January 2011 and a nearly 1% drop from December's tally.
- DatQuick reported that lenders filed 1,204 default notices in January – up from December but down 21.5% from January 2011.

After a year that saw Danny Espinosa play through a torn rotator cuff, break his wrist, and hit .158 on his way to a demotion to Triple-A, the 26-year-old remains very much optimistic about 2014. He knows it will be an important year in the context of his MLB career, and considers 2013 to be a "fluke season."
Espinosa has, in fact, been assured by both manager Matt Williams and general manager Mike Rizzo that he will get a shot at being the starting second baseman this season. He will be given an opportunity in spring training, as he puts it, to win his old job back.
"Matt and Mike Rizzo called me in the offseason and told me I'm going to get a fair opportunity to win my job back," Espinosa said. "That's all I can ask for. I've never asked for anything to be handed to me. If I can get a fair opportunity to win my job back, I feel like I can do it."
With Anthony Rendon in store, all signs this offseason pointed to Espinosa competing for a backup role. Rendon wasn't spectacular in 2013, but he is a former top draft pick and showed flashes of being a very good player. He wasn't quite on Espinosa's level defensively at second base, but avoided extended slumps at the plate.
Espinosa says, however, the idea of him being a backup has never come up. In his conversations with Rizzo it's always been about open competition for a starting job.
"Mike's never talked to me about that. He's never talked to me about being a utility guy or a role guy, the only thing he has said is that he's going to give me a fair opportunity to win my job back," Espinosa said.
"I guess if I don't win my job that could be something I fall into maybe. But he's never said 'you're a utility guy now.' He has said 'we're going to give you a chance to win your job back.'"
[RELATED: Stephen Strasburg expects normal spring training]
Espinosa lost his job last season because he was ineffective, a result from the wrist injury he says. The initial diagnosis of a bone bruise was wrong and allowed him to play hurt and fight through the pain. But in hindsight, Espinosa believes that mistake set the tone for a forgettable year.
"I shouldn't have [played]. But at the same time, I'm not the doctor reading the film. So yea, I shouldn't have been playing on a broken wrist the whole year. Like I said, if you're told you have a bruise, you play through a bruise. Everybody plays through bumps and bruises. I wouldn't have played if I knew I had a broken wrist. I shouldn't have been playing at all."
Espinosa says he played four or five weeks through the bone bruise before the broken bone was discovered. He was then told by the team's training staff he wouldn't be fully healthy until the offseason when he could take time off to rest.
That frustrated Espinosa, who said at one point the pain was so bad he couldn't even pick up a bat.
"Mentally it was really tough. You don't know what it's like to go through having some success in the big leagues, in my opinion contributing a lot to the team, to just being completely off the map. Knowing that I couldn't do anything, I couldn't swing the bat, I couldn't do anything physically, it was tough to go through the season. I didn't want to go to Triple-A, I wanted to see if I could play through it."
Espinosa says both his shoulder and wrist feel perfectly fine now. He is lifting weights on a regular basis and working with a personal trainer he hired this offseason. He calls it "making a conscious effort" to get stronger this winter in preparation for spring.
"I went and got my own personal trainer who I've worked with for five years. I hired my own personal guy to really get the strength that I needed back," he said. "I am probably stronger at this point in my career than I've ever been in my life."
Rendon would seem to have the leg up in the competition for starting second baseman, but it appears Espinosa will at least get a look. As he says, that's all he can ask for.

False Positive
The Washington Times (5/13/05), covering a gathering of conservative leaders in support of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R.-Texas), reported a claim by a prominent right-wing media activist: "L. Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center, said a Google search produced 833,000 matches for Mr. DeLay's name and the word 'scandal.'" The blog American Street (5/16/05) pointed out what should have been obvious to a professional media critic:
Taking the Pentagon's Word
The April 25 issue of U.S. News & World Report has a piece defending the Pentagon's Office of Strategic Influence. Formed shortly after the September 11 attacks, OSI was shut down only a few months later when the New York Times (2/19/02) reported that OSI was planning a disinformation campaign that would plant news stories in foreign media. U.S. News declared it was unfair to call the office "Orwellian" or "duplicitous," writing, "In fact, OSI was none of that." On what does U.S. News base this claim? On the Pentagon's saying that it found no evidence of a disinformation campaign in OSI's internal documents: "Indeed, the only time the word ["disinformation"] appeared was tied to its use by America's enemies." Wow, you would expect a disinformation office would be more candid, wouldn't you? But Douglas Feith, the Pentagon official who oversaw the office, explained the need for discretion: "We are going to preserve our ability to undertake operations that may, for tactical purposes, mislead an enemy," he told AP (2/20/02), "but we are not going to blow our credibility as an institution in our public pronouncements."
Everybody Loves Marketing
Last year, when NBC's Dateline devoted airtime to the finale of Friends and other NBC shows, Jeff Fager, the executive producer of CBS's 60 Minutes, promised that you wouldn't catch him doing the same thing if one of his network's top shows closed up shop: "We are not going to do the one-hour special for [CBS's] Everybody Loves Raymond's departure…[because] any viewers who tuned in and saw us doing that would leave in a heartbeat" (St. Petersburg Times, 6/6/04). On Sunday, May 8, 60 Minutes marked the conclusion of Everybody Loves Raymond's run with an interview with the series' star. Hypocrisy? No, says Fager–because it wasn't a full hour (AP, 5/6/05). It's not clear how the viewers who "tuned in" figured that out before they left "in a heartbeat."
Is Liddy's Memory Shot?
Devoting a show to a dopey Air America skit (4/25/05) that suggested that gunfire was the "answer" to the White House Social Security plan, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough (Scarborough Country, 4/27/05) asked his guest, talkshow host G. Gordon Liddy, "Are conservatives guilty of similar hate speech on their shows?" Liddy's response: "Well, if they are, I certainly haven't heard of it." The former Watergate conspirator apparently wasn't able to recall his own repeated advice to his listeners on how best to shoot federal law enforcement agents. To refresh his memory, here's a bit of his August 26, 1994 show: "Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests…..Kill the sons of bitches." Liddy repeated this theme so often that his callers began to exclaim "head shots!" to express their agreement with the host, the way Rush Limbaugh's callers say "megadittos."
The Red Herring Factor
"According to research done at Columbia University," Bill O'Reilly declared (O'Reilly Factor, 4/26/05), "illegal immigration is now costing the USA $68 billion every year. So the next time you hear somebody mention the deficit, hit him with that." The study in question (from the Center for Immigration Studies, 2/05) wasn't about illegal immigrants, but about immigrants in general (including Rupert Murdoch, O'Reilly's boss). The study reported that "the addition of immigrant workers makes the overall U.S. economy larger," but found, somewhat controversially, that immigration lowers the incomes of native-born citizens by about $68 billion. (The income for all U.S. households is more than $4 trillion, so the projected decrease would be less than 2 percent.) Nothing in the study connected immigration to the federal budget deficit, which at $477 billion is approximately seven times as large as the alleged impact of immigration on native income. So why does O'Reilly think you should bring up this study when someone mentions the deficit? Apparently because illegal immigrants are a handy scapegoat for any problem, no matter how unrelated.

Naomi's Bio
I am a local nanny/mom who has been doing childcare in the Bay Area for over 15 years. In addition to working in California, I did childcare in New York while I attended college there.
I recently cared for a lovely baby starting from when she was 2 months old. I also took care of her sister before her, starting from when she was 6 months to about two years. I had alot of fun playing creative games with them, taking them outside to play, reading to them, feeding them lunch, putting them down for naps, and supervising bathtime and bedtime during their parents frequent date nights out on the weekends. I also did some chores around the house such as the childrens' laundry, some food preparation, etc.
I am loving, kind and fun and am also very concerned with issues of safety. I am Trustline certified and have taken many Infant and Child CPR and First Aid classes. I drive and have a clean driving record.
I formed a very close and wonderful bond with the family I was employed by, but as they have just recently moved out of the area, I am looking for a new family to work for, part time.
In addition to working for this family, I have spent years working for many families in this area. I currently do datenights and overnights for a family in Marin County. I started taking care of their wonderful children, when the little boy was 3 months old. I cared for his sister, starting when she was only one week old. They are now 12 and 10 years old! I work for another family one afternoon a week as well. I pick the children up at school, drive them home, provide snacks, prepare dinner, and do clean up.

Dead to me
well, yeah. I agree. I can actually (and embarrassingly) still sing the first season opening ... but unlike some other shows, Pokemon doesn't grow with you.

text: Never underestimate the power of nostalgia. It's the reason why we liked Transformers: War for Cybertron perhaps more than it deserved, although it was undoubtedly the best Transformers game since now defunct developer Melbourne House's effort back in 2004. Amid abhorrent Michael Bay movie tie-ins, War for Cybertron stood head and shoulders above every other Transformers game that had gone before it, and still it emerged underrated and unappreciated by many. 87/100

PoiSon ivy on my vagina....
IM SO SORRY!!!! That sounds horrible. I don't know about poison ivy from personal experience thankfully but here's a link with ideas.
OUCH! How in the heck.........???

Calamine lotion would probably give you some relief. We went to the river last weekend and every time I had to go into the bushes to squat and pee, I was doing a very thorough check to make sure there was no poison oak. That has to be the most uncomfortable thing ever. So sorry :(
Blessed to be married to my amazing Coastie husband P(06-12-04).

Did you pee in the woods and wipe with the wrong leaf? lol
*Lauren, mom to Violet 11/1/11*
I get poison ivy so bad. I would wrather give birth than have poison ivy. I feel your pain.
The best thing you can do is air it out. Heat creates moisture, moisture makes it spread and itch.
In all seriousness id lay bottomless on the bed with a fan aimed at it.
You want to dry the poison ivy out.
Cotton panties if you must and loose clothing. Dont itch it. A cold wash cloth can help, dont rub, pat.
My mom used to put oatmeal on my legs when I got it, it will pull out the oil. Check on the net for at home concoctions.
I hope you get over this super quickly.

Insights from our Editorial Team
We ask some startups that very question
Today, startups do more than influence mainstream culture. They fundamentally change the way we do business.
Part of our Utility2Utility article series
For this installment of our popular interview series, we talk with Jeff Adams, team lead – energy efficiency at Alliant Energy, about that pilot and what lessons have come to light.
A Southern California Edison transmission line foreman's quick thinking played a pivotal role in a car-hit-utility-pole accident in October in Visalia. His actions may have saved a man's life, and the first responders couldn't have been more appreciative.
3 visions of what's coming from what's happening now
We've heard a lot about how the utility business is going to change. We've read tomes about it, listened in on debates about it, been on the receiving end of laments about it. But, in all honesty, do we have any clue what that utility of the future will really look like?
In retail, as well as other industries where there is significant competition, predicting customer behavior through predictive analytics is no longer an option. It's become a critical must-have.
A whitelisting approach allows system administrators to proactively protect their systems while simplifying their jobs. Rather than constantly updating with code that should be denied, they can maintain a small list of applications that can be allowed.
Part of the Utility2Utility interview series
Wadsworth is a small town over just over 20,000 in Medina County, Ohio. We sat down to chat with Roger King, utility office manager, about the city's app development called Citylink.

You'll notice in this issue a lot of references to talking to utilities---from Austin Energy to ComEd to Con Edison to Entergy to Avista. It's our annual techhead issue, and the only way we're going to find out how our industry is using all that shiny tech is to, well, talk to them. Jump into the discussion.
James McCray, an analyst for Navigant, looks at the growing popularity of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The chief executive officer of App Orchid makes a case for copying the apps on your smartphone and customizing them for the power and utilities industry.

Best Shopping on the Dark Side (2010)
Evermore Nevermore
It's difficult being a trendsetter when you're stuck smack dab in the middle of Conservative Central, a.k.a. Mesa, Arizona. Maybe they're protected by dark forces — or the ghosts rumored to be lurking in the historic building's basement — but somehow owner Bob Leeper and his family have managed to make a gothic fantasy collectible shop the centerpiece of downtown Mesa's retail district. The store carries action figures, new and recycled clothing, steampunk jewelry from local artists, and rave-worthy fuzzy legwarmers crafted by the owners' daughter, Amanda Tucker. Evermore Nevermore's funky craft classes on how to make cigar-box purses and Cthulhu toys never get dull. And we dig the fashion shows featuring El Vaquero Muerto, whose tooled leather pasties and chaps leave little to the imagination. Despite the holy hell raised over such issues as the former Nile Theater's goth crowd defying Mesa's unwritten "close up at sunset and die" law, Evermore Nevermore has managed to subtly lure Mesa over toward the dark side, where we hope they stay.

Satellite TV is superior to standard TV, but how can you decide between the two main providers of Satellite TV, DIRECTV and DISH Network? The electronic devices we have these days are truly phenomenal. The only real problem with this explosion of electronic media options is the overwhelming feeling so many of us feel when we try to do our research in order to choose one to purchase.
If you have any questions we're not answering you can comment below or ask a DIRECTV or DISH representative for immediate feedback using their contact information:

|DISH (Authorized Dealer)
|DISH (Authorized Dealer) – 855-357-2283
Satellite Vs Cable
Trying to decide between satellite and cable? Read about some of the key differences between the two options.
Enhanced sound and picture quality
Cable connections go through multiple network reconfigurations which only serve to degrade the quality of sound and picture. With satellite, the programming bypasses that complicated network web, so the quality of what you get is direct and therefore, unblemished. This direct system allows for high-definition TV (HDTV).
More Channels
Both DIRECTV and DISH have the ability to offer more programing than cable, i.e., more channel choices including productions from other countries and programming in other languages. While DIRECTV offers more than 315 channels, DISH offers more than 290; and both provide multiple language options, though DIRECTV has fewer than DISH today.
Other Advantages
Increased capacity for recording and storage of saved programs; multiple simultaneous viewing options including the ability to record one show while watching another show; pause and replay live TV; fast-forward through commercials; and HD quality local channels, all at a lower price than analog TV are highlights of satellite television's superiority.
Directv Vs Dish
Weighing the value of DIRECTV vs. DISH is difficult because both products and the services they offer are very comparable. When trying to determine which is best for you, it is important to find out what is specifically unique to each one. Then, when you look at the two lists side by side, it will be easier to recognize your own viewing habits and entertainment needs in order to decide if DIRECTV is best for you or if DISH is your best option. Below is a comparison of some of the basic features of DIRECTV and DISH.

Number and Variety of Channels Comparison
The number of channels offered and the particular programming of those channels differ between DIRECTV and DISH. As mentioned earlier, DISH offers more than 290 channels while DIRECTV offers 315+. But a closer look at those 315+ channels will reveal that more is not necessarily better. What your household likes to watch may not be the same as what your neighbor's household likes to watch. So take a look and see which satellite provider offers the channels you are interested in.

*These channels were chosen based on what we thought were some of the most popular channels that households wanted in their cable packages.
To summarize the table above, the Select package from Direct TV is the winner for the basic packages. The Select package offers more channels and, in our opinion, the channels offered are better than those from the Smart Pack offered by DISH. For the premium packages, the winner is DISH. America's Top 250 offers all the same "popular" channels as the Premier package from DIRECTV for less money. However, if you're wanting Starz, HBO and Showtime we suggest you go with DIRECTV.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Ever since Sept.11, liberals in the United States and abroad have done their best to undermine the War on Terror by maligning the intentions of the Bush administration.
In a pattern reminiscent of how liberals sought to undermine Ronald Reagan's successful effort in the 1980s against communism, the far-left today is waging an ongoing smear campaign against President George W. Bush's bold actions on terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq, and elsewhere around the globe. From Howard Dean's suggestion that President Bush had advance knowledge of Sept. 11, to Massachusetts Sen. Teddy Kennedy's charge that the war was "cooked up" in Texas, to the outrageous claims by Hollywood leftists, liberals just can't accept that the world is a safer and better place without Saddam Hussein.
One of the benefits of a burgeoning democracy is that a free press has access to surviving records of Saddam Hussein's regime. A decade ago, the records of former Eastern Bloc regimes provided both a damning indictment of the human rights abuses that occurred under the communist leaders and the names of local collaborators.
The latest revelation to emerge from Iraq is provided by the Baghdad-based newspaper Al-Mada, which recently published the names of more than 200 individuals and organizations in over 40 countries who are alleged to have received oil payoffs from Saddam Hussein in exchange for their support. It could represent just the tip of the iceberg, in terms of showing how Saddam used his petroleum and cash to purchase friends and favors.
The list of recipients spans four continents and contains the names of prominent politicians as well as political parties, journalists and clergy from such countries as France, Libya, Syria, Indonesia and Russia, among others. Among the disclosures in Al-Mada:
The Bulgarian Socialist Party is reported to have received 12 million barrels of oil in 1998 -- worth about $250 million at the time -- as a "gift" from Saddam. Current Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov, who headed the Socialist Party at the time, denied the charge, terming it "inappropriate black humor."
The Society for Austrian-Arab Relations was named as another beneficiary of Saddam's largess. The organization's executive director denied the charges, blaming it on a translation error. "We received neither gold watches nor money nor barrels of oil," he said.
The Communist Party of Slovakia is another alleged recipient of Iraqi oil "gifts," though the party's leader from 1992-1998, Vladimir Dado, denies it, saying, "It is absolutely false to say the Slovakian Communist Party supported the regime of Saddam Hussein."
Oliver North is a nationally syndicated columnist, the host of War Stories on the Fox News Channel, the author of the new novel Heroes Proved and the co-founder of Freedom Alliance, an organization that provides college scholarships to the children of U.S. military personnel killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty.

It often takes doctors away from their practice for periods of time, many doctors who need this training most are not employees of the hospitals and health systems where they practice, and many leaders and board members worry that an investment in physician leadership training may train doctors only to have them compete with the health system.
Yet the evidence that physicians need this training is ample.
"The average board certified internist has had seven years of post-college training," says Nash. "In that seven years, she may have had only two hours of classroom-based leadership training. And we expect these people to lead the development of the patient-centered medical home?"
Of course, there's a problem in painting an entire diverse group of 600,000 practicing physicians across the country as deficient in leadership skills. Physician leadership is not an oxymoron. Many of the most well-known proponents of evidence-based medicine, infection and quality control, clinical integration, and many other groundbreaking innovations in patient care are physicians.
They're heading up ACO programs. They're chief medical officers. They are leaders in promoting and developing clinical informatics. More and more hospitals and health systems are tapping physicians as their CEOs. So they are out there. There just aren't enough of them, says Nash.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

As the Chief Judge of the 3rd District Court of Appeal in Miami, I experienced first-hand my colleagues' reluctance to adopt technology. We had the means at our disposal to adopt new methods, such as livestreaming our oral arguments, yet some of my colleagues were fearful of unintended consequences. When I first came to the court in January 2000, every judge had a computer, but some would not even turn theirs on, perhaps still suffering from Y2K hysteria.
Now that I am an arbitrator and mediator with JAMS, I have encountered the same anti-technology qualms. We have made tremendous strides in making conference calls cheaper. For those of us who have suffered through the adversities of airplane travel, the option of appearing by telephone can be quite attractive. Yet I hear: "I want to see people in the flesh; I want to read their body language." Having been an attorney for 13 years, a judge for 12 years and an appellate judge for another 12 years, I believe people's professed ability to read body language is very overrated. My credibility determinations were based more on whether the witnesses' stories made sense, rather than the direction in which they averted their eyes. I am not advocating abandoning face-to-face alternative dispute resolution (ADR) sessions in most cases. They are unquestionably more valuable than telephonic ones. But I do believe that technology will not wait for us to become more comfortable with its advances. We need to stay current with innovation and adopt those improvements that work.

Nevada CemeteriesEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Cemetery records, such as tombstone and sexton's records, have value in that they may give birth and death dates, age at death, name of spouse and children, a maiden name or, occasionally, a birthplace. Tombstones may have symbols or insignias indicating military service and social or religious affiliations. It is important to look at surrounding tombstones because family members may also be buried nearby.
