LONDON - Large sections of the international media are not only misreporting the current conflict in Lebanon. They are actively fanning the flames.
The BBC world service has a strong claim to be the number-one villain. It has come to sound like a virtual propaganda tool for Hezbollah. As it attempts to prove that Israel is guilty of committing "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity," it has introduced a new charge -- one which I have heard several times on-air in recent days.
The newscaster reads out carefully selected "audience comments." Among these are invariably contained some version of the claim that "Israel's attack on Lebanon" will serve as a "recruitment" drive for al-Qaeda.
But if anything is going to win new recruits for Osama bin Laden and his like, it will not be Israel's defensive actions, which are far less damaging than Western TV stations would have us believe, but the inflammatory and one-sided way in which they are being reported by those very same news organizations.
While the slanted comments and interviews are bad enough, the degree of pictorial distortion is even worse. From the way many TV stations worldwide are portraying it, you would think Beirut has begun to resemble Dresden and Hamburg in the aftermath of Second World War air raids. International television channels have used the same footage of Beirut over and over, showing the destruction of a few individual buildings in a manner which suggests half the city has been razed.
A careful look at aerial satellite photos of the areas targeted by Israel in Beirut shows that certain specific buildings housing Hezbollah command centres in the city's southern suburbs have been singled out. Most of the rest of Beirut, apart from strategic sites such as airport runways used to ferry Hezbollah weapons in and out of Lebanon, has been left pretty much untouched.
From the distorted imagery, selective witness accounts, and almost round-the-clock emphasis on casualties, you would be forgiven for thinking that the level of death and destruction in Lebanon is on par with that in Darfur, where Arab militias are slaughtering hundreds of thousands of non-Arabs, or with the 2004 tsunami that killed half a million in Southeast Asia.
In fact, Israel has taken great care to avoid killing civilians -- even though this has proven extremely difficult and often tragically impossible, since members of Hezbollah, the self-styled "Party of God," have deliberately ensconced themselves in civilian homes. Nevertheless the civilian death toll has been mercifully low compared to other international conflicts in recent years.
Last week, a senior journalist let slip how the news media allows its Mideast coverage to be distorted. CNN "senior international correspondent" Nic Robertson admitted that his anti-Israel report from Beirut on July 18 about civilian casualties in Lebanon was stage-managed from start to finish by Hezbollah. In particular, he revealed that his story was heavily influenced by the group's "press officer," and that Hezbollah have "very, very sophisticated and slick media operations."
When pressed a few days later about his reporting on the CNN program Reliable Sources, Robertson acknowledged that Hezbollah militants had instructed the CNN camera team where and what to film. Hezbollah "had control of the situation," Robertson said. "They designated the places that we went to, and we certainly didn't have time to go into the houses or lift up the rubble to see what was underneath."
Robertson added that Hezbollah has "very, very good control over its areas in the south of Beirut. They deny journalists access to those areas. You don't get in there without their permission. We didn't have enough time to see if perhaps there was somebody there who was, you know, a taxi driver by day, and a Hezbollah fighter by night."
Yet Reliable Sources, presented by Washington Post writer Howard Kurtz, is broadcast only on the American version of CNN. So CNN International viewers around the world will not have had the opportunity to learn that the pictures they saw from Beirut were carefully selected for them by Hezbollah.
Another journalist let the cat out of the bag last week. Writing on his blog while reporting from southern Lebanon, Time magazine contributor Christopher Allbritton casually mentioned in the middle of a posting: "To the south, along the curve of the coast, Hezbollah is launching Katyushas, but I'm loath to say too much about them. The Party of God has a copy of every journalist's passport, and they've already hassled a number of us and threatened one."
Robertson is not the only foreign journalist to have misled viewers with selected footage from Beirut. NBC's Richard Engel, CBS's Elizabeth Palmer, and a host of European and other networks, were also taken around the damaged areas by Hezbollah minders. Palmer commented on her report that "Hezbollah is also determined that outsiders will only see what it wants them to see."
Palmer's honesty is helpful. But it doesn't prevent the damage being done by organizations such as the BBC, whose bias is obvious to those who know the facts. First, the BBC gave the impression that Israel had flattened the greater part of Beirut. Then to follow up its lopsided coverage, its Web site helpfully carried full details of the assembly points for an anti-Israel march due to take place in London, but did not give any details about a rally in support of Israel also held in London a short time later.
Indeed, the BBC's coverage of the present war has been so extraordinary that even staunch BBC supporters in London seem rather embarrassed -- in conversation, not on the air, unfortunately.
If the BBC were just a British problem, that would be one thing, but it is not. Thanks to British taxpayers, it is the world's biggest and most lavishly funded news organization. No other station broadcasts so extensively in dozens of languages, on TV, radio and online.
The BBC's radio service alone attracts over 163 million listeners. It pours forth its world view in almost every language of the Middle East: Pashto, Persian, Arabic and Turkish. (Needless to say, it declines to broadcast in Hebrew, even though it does broadcast in the languages of other small nations: Macedonian and Albanian, Azeri and Uzbek, Kinyarwanda and Kyrgyz, and so on.)
It is not just that the supposed crimes of Israel are completely overplayed, but the fact that this is a two-sided war (started, of course, by Hezbollah) is all but obscured. As a result, in spite of hundreds of hours of broadcast by dozens of BBC reporters and studio anchors, you wouldn't really know that hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been living in bomb shelters for weeks now, tired, afraid, but resilient; that a grandmother and her seven-year old grandson were killed by a Katyusha rocket during a Friday night Sabbath dinner; that several other Israeli children have died.
You wouldn't have any real understanding of what it is like to have over 2,000 Iranian and Syrian rockets rain down indiscriminately on towns, villages and farms across one third of your country, aimed at killing civilians.
You wouldn't really appreciate that Hezbollah, far from being some ragtag militia, is in effect a division of the Iranian revolutionary guards, with relatively advanced weapons (unmanned aerial vehicles that have flown over northern Israel, extended-range artillery rockets, anti-ship cruise missiles), and that it has a global terror reach, having already killed 114 people in Argentina during the 1990s.
The BBC and other media have carried report after report on the damaged Lebanese tourist industry, but none on its damaged Israeli counterpart, even though at least one hotel in Tiberias, on the Sea of Galilee, was hit by a Hezbollah rocket. There are reports on Lebanese children who don't know where they will be going to school, but none on Israeli children.
Many have grown accustomed to left-wing papers such as Britain's Guardian allowing their Mideast coverage to spill over into something akin to anti-Semitism. For example, last month a cartoon by the Guardian's Martin Rowson depicted Stars of David being used as knuckle dusters on a bloody fist.
Now the Conservative-leaning Daily Telegraph, Britain's best-selling quality daily, and previously one of the only papers in Europe to give Israel a fair hearing, has got in on the act. The cartoon at the top of the Telegraph comment page last Saturday showed two identical scenes of devastation, exactly the same in every detail. One was labelled: "Warsaw 1943"; the other: "Tyre, 2006." The suggestion, of course, is that modern Israel is no different from Nazi Germany.
A politician had already given the cue for this horrendous libel. Conservative MP Sir Peter Tapsell told the House of Commons that British Prime Minister Tony Blair was "colluding" with U.S. President George W. Bush in giving Israel the okay to wage a war crime "gravely reminiscent of the Nazi atrocity on the Jewish quarter of Warsaw."
Of course, there was no "Jewish quarter" of Warsaw. In case anyone needs reminding (Sir Peter obviously does) the ghetto in the Polish capital, established in October 1940, constituted less than three square miles. Over 400,000 Jews were then crammed into it, about 30% of the population of Warsaw. 254,000 were sent to Treblinka where they were exterminated. Most of the rest were murdered in other ways. The ghetto was completely cleared of Jews by the end of May 1943.
The picture isn't entirely bleak. Some British and European politicians, on both the left and right, have been supportive of Israel. So have some magazines, such as Britain's Spectator. So have a number of individual newspaper commentators.
But meanwhile, anti-Semitic coverage and cartoons are spreading across the globe. Norway's third largest paper, the Oslo daily Dagbladet, ran a cartoon comparing Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to the infamous Nazi commander SS Major Amon Goeth, who indiscriminately murdered Jews by firing at them from his balcony -- as depicted by Ralph Fiennes in Steven Spielberg's film Schindler's List. (A month earlier, Dagbladet published an article, The Third Tower, which questioned whether Muslims were really responsible for the September 11 attacks.)
Antonio Neri Licon of Mexico's El Economista drew what appeared to be a Nazi soldier with stars of David on his uniform. The "soldier" was surrounded by eyes that he had apparently gouged out.
A cartoon in the South African Sunday Times depicted Ehud Olmert with a butchers knife covered in blood. In the leading Australian daily The Age, a cartoon showed a wine glass full of blood being drunk in a scene reminiscent of a medieval blood libel. In New Zealand, veteran cartoonist Tom Stott came up with a drawing which equated Israel with al-Qaeda.
At least one leading European politician has also vented his prejudice through visual symbolism. Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero wore an Arab scarf during an event at which he condemned Israel, but not Hezbollah, who he presumably thinks should not be stopped from killing Israelis.
It's entirely predictable that all this violent media distortion should lead to Jews being attacked and even murdered, as happened at a Seattle Jewish centre last week.
When live Jews can't be found, dead ones are targeted. In Belgium last week, the urn that contained ashes from Auschwitz was desecrated at the Brussels memorial to the 25,411 Belgian Jews deported to Nazi death camps. It was smashed and excrement smeared over it. The silence from Belgian leaders following this desecration was deafening.
Other Jews continue to be killed in Israel itself without it being mentioned in the media abroad. Last Thursday, for example, 60-year-old Dr. Daniel Ya'akovi was murdered by the Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, the terrorist group within Fatah that Yasser Arafat set up five years ago using European Union aid money.
But this is far from being an exclusively Jewish issue. Some international journalists seem to find it amusing or exciting to bait the Jews. They don't understand yet that Hezbollah is part of a worldwide radical Islamist movement that has plans, and not pleasant ones, for all those -- Muslim, Christian, Hindu and Jew -- who don't abide by its wishes.

Good suggestion but no, zapping the PRAM doesn't help, other than to zap the PRAM you need to restart the computer, which forces you to quit and restart FaceTime, which is the only "fix" (very temporary) for the problem.

I just got an email saying that I should come post about whether or not this thread has been helpful. But all it has done is show me that there are so many people with the same problem and it doesn't seem like apple is doing much if anything about it. Apple, would you fix this stupid problem!

I realize that Apple has not made any effort to communicate with the folks here, I actually was one of the very early commentors who posted my problem, which remains. But in all due respect, I thought this WAS contacting Apple? Are you saying, all this forum is good for is us complaining to each other. Oh man! Great! How do you suggest we contact Apple? Thanks!!

I worked with an Apple rep, Wayne, and he told me know one from Apple ever monitors this "Apple" support forum. So yes, we are just talking and lamenting amongst ourselves. :-). I spent almost two hours on the phone with Wayne trying to resolve the sound issue in FaceTime ....I still occasionally have the problem..nothin resolved. My mic always shows a line through it ...when it works and when it does not

Oh great! I have been waiting for two months, (more is you add the time before my post here) to get this problem resolved. It works on some days, and suddenly sound will stop? I was in hopes that Apple would see all the others and find a way to fix this? Thanks for the info Kathi. I really don't want to sit on the phone for two hours with a tech. I wonder if there is another way for us to contact and complain to Apple, so they actually hear us? Thanks!

Correct, Apple normally does not read anything in these discussions. In fact they sometimes (maybe a lot of the time) regard these posts as just rants with no viable foundation of any real problems.
However, I am in contact with a senior tech, who is in contact with the engineers, and I know for a fact that he has looked at this thread because he did it while I was on the phone with him. He's been on vacation because of the holidays so I assume our communication will continue when he returns.
I would suggest, for those who asked how to contact Apple, call Apple tech support at 1-800-SOS-APPLE or 1-800-767-2775, and somehow get to a senior tech. You need to get past the person who answer the phone as they best suited for problem like, you forgot to plug your computer in. Once you have a senior tech, reference this thread, which is #3388112, or give the url of the thread, which is https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112.
It's time to "occupy" Apple about this issue.
As I said in an earlier post, my self, and lots of you said that the beta version worked great and didn't have this sound issue. So if we can all suggest to the senior tech that the engineers just re-release the beta version as an update to this current version, that would be the simplest, quickest way to solve the issue.

I guess we have to keep bugging Apple until they fix the problem. Must be a software issue.
My sound cuts out during a FaceTime chat with my folks - they are on a new iMac running Lion, and can hear me but I cannot hear them.
I can connect to them via an iPad, a MacBook running Lion, and an iMac running Lion. Sound problem occurs with all three devices at some point.
I'll be chatting with Apple support tomorrow morning at 8am, and will reference the thread.
Hope they fix this soon!

Just contacted Apple support to discuss this issue and the support person claimed that they have no documented cases in their database. This seems strange. Clearly this is a real problem based on the complaints listed on this thread, and apperently Apple is not on top of it. Anyone who is having this issue should really call into Apple Support, refuse to pay for the support and demand to speak with a senior advisor to discuss the desktop MacOS Facetime Audio drop issue - and insure that the problem is addressed quickly in the next Facetime application update.

I'm having all the same issues as all of you. I just got a refurbished 2010 MacBook Air from Apple for Christmas. I bought 99¢ FaceTime app soon after starting my new Air. Whenever I am FaceTiming, the microphone stops working soon after. The amount of time it takes to stop working differs. Sometimes it's 3 minutes, sometimes it's 30 minutes. It's really frustrating. I usually result to FaceTiming on my iPod Touch 4th generation with iOS5.

I was always under the impression that this mic drop was an issue with mac computers running Facetime but today while using my iPad2 my mic quit after about 6 min. Someone suggested running Diskutility fix permissions
then quitting Facetime and logging back.
I can't imagine how to reload Facetime on the iPad OS or deleting files or folders.

We have the same problem. I have a brand new (well, a few months old) MacBook Pro and whenever we use face time the sound gets dropped. We live far from family so would use it about once a week. Whether we are talking to someone on an iphone or an ipad, it doesn't matter, our sound gets dropped every single time. The only thing that brings it back is if we hang up, close facetime, restart it and call back. It used to happen at about 7 minutes into the conversation, but now it happens more quickly. I also used to think it happened if I moved the computer even the slightest bit during the call, but that turns out to have nothing to do with it. This is SO frustrating!!

Please, everyone on here, keep contacting Apple tech support at 800-767-2775 and talk to as high tier person as you can! It may also be helpful to reference this thread, which is #3388112. Don't be discouraged if the tech tells you, maybe this is the reason, or that is the reason, like "the cause is your internet connection", or "there's something wrong with your computer", etc. Obviously, based on all these different posts, with all these different scenarios, the only common thread is the FaceTime for Mac app itself. The more people we have calling in about this, the more chance it will get fixed.
Also, as someone else on here mentioned, although I don't know how much it will help, it probably won't hurt to submit the problem to http://www.apple.com/feedback.

Not dramatic, just honest...
And what makes you think I haven't been in that situation??? Just because I advise open and honest communication, boundaries and self respect, doesn't mean I don't know what it is like to be lied to and cheated on.
How do you think I ended up with so much trust in myself and regard for maintaining my dignity?
If I call you sweetie, I mean that I think you are completely naive and ignorant. Consider it a pat on the head as I completely disregard what you say

She wants more evidence. I wouldn't set a person up (I did it once in high school, and it's emotionally exhausting) but if she thinks that's the best course of action then go for it.
I don't know her husband but it seems like she can't ask without him getting mad at her "snooping" instead of solving anything. So I can see why she would want to do some digging.

rubyred - I am sorry, I wasn't referring to you, I was talking about the children in the 'set a trap, playing games' types of relationships.
No one can tell you what it right for you, all we can do is tell you what we would do in your situation.
I know that for myself, I would never live with someone I couldn't trust 100% and I would never buy any 'I was just looking at the internet hook up sites for fun' bullshit either.
I can only imagine how hard this is for you, but I will speak from experience that children would rather be FROM a broken home than live IN one.
If I call you sweetie, I mean that I think you are completely naive and ignorant. Consider it a pat on the head as I completely disregard what you say
I don't know your bf but to me when a guy does that he is not satisfied and doesn't care as much as he says. He is also probably looking for someone else to hook up with. Do you know why he is divorced twice? Because it could be because of the things he is doing now. If he is older now he will never grow out of it. I'm sorry to be harsh but honestly get out of it while you can because this is just the beginning. Find yourself a man. I wish someone would have given me the same advice and I wish that I would have just left once I found him on those sex cites. Honestly it is so hurtful an scary if he is doing that now especially because your pregnant and trust me he will come up with some stupid excuse as to why he has been looking on those sites or even Craigslist. I'm really sorry I hated when this happened to me so I know how you feel. Goodluck. I hope this helped and you make the right choice.
OP, I am so SO sorry you are even having to think about the possibility of this.
I didn't read all the comments, but I did notice that you said "still not ok by me - porn is less scary because there is no immediate threat or opportunity to cheat." While it is true that there is no immediate threat or opportunity, it can be indicative that he has a sex addiction. I urge you to do some research on the topic.
My prayers go out to you and your little ones.

@jay&ant6 - You said "when a guy does that he is not satisfied," but that statement is flawed. It puts the blame on the woman, and this is a problem with the man. Nothing she does could have prevented any improprities, nor is she responsible in any way for his actions.

how to setup PW AC3/FlexTT5/miniTT1 with strobe Alienbee?
I just acquired pocketwizard miniTT1/FlexTT5/AC3 for Canon. I use them in TTL mode with 580EX II fine.
Now i'd like to use it with strobe Alienbee. However, i couldn't find any info on the setup anywhere. Do you i just connect FlexTT5 to strobe and use AC3 set in manual to change power setting? Also do i need to change any setting in pocketwizard utility?
Any guidance or instruction would be greatly appreciated.

""The chickenhawks are full of squawks, deep in the heart of Texas
|—Gene Autry
""DALLAS (NBC News) — An East Texas man was wounded after he fired a gun at an armadillo in his yard and the bullet ricocheted back to hit him in his face, the county sheriff said.[1]
|—Meanwhile, in Texas
State Republic of Texas is a de facto independent country in the southern adjacent to the United States. Texas has had independence from the United States ever since the Most Majestic President Rick Perry, High Prophet of the Most Venerable Family-Based Catholic Church of Texas, declared the supposed "states'" independence from them yellow bellied yankees. Texas is famous for its high quality ed-jew-ma-kay-shun system, of which the republic focuses most of its "well deserved" taxes profits on. Otherwise, money is thrown at the corporate leaders in Houston to continue ruining the economic structure of the nation, while all the national heads are kept on the white collar entertainment city of Dallas.
Six flags have flown over Texas:
the Spanish, the French, the Spanish again, the Mexican, the ancient Texas, the United States, the Confederate States, the United States again and better Texas. When pretending to be just a state in the U.S., it is referred to as the "Lone Star State." Texas has had a large problem with immigration from Mexico, and Mexico might even annex the country for a second, third, FOURTH FIFTH time.
[edit] Texas stuff
Due to having entered the Union under unusual circumstances, as well as a prevailing spirit of plucky individualism, there are a number of Texans who claim not only that Texas should secede from the greater part of the United States, but that it has a unique right to do so, the outcome of the American Civil War notwithstanding. Despite claiming a constitutional right to do so, this right does not actually exist. The line in question was part of the first state Constitution, which was rewritten and a new state constitution was approved post-Civil War denying them that right, just like every other rebellious state. That few of its proponents know anything about said constitutional law, including (oops) Governor Rick Perry,[2] complicates matters significantly.[3] (It is rather more clear that most of the rest of the U.S. wishes that Texas would secede.) Ironically, Sam Houston, the most well-known hero of the Texas Revolution and the Texan equivalent of George Washington, was an avowed Unionist who actually campaigned against his state joining the Confederacy (and was arrested for it).
[edit] Politics
Strangely, Texas was once strongly Democratic. Then came the Civil Rights Act and the counterculture, which Texas blamed on the Democratic Party they had once loved. They have not supported a Democratic presidential candidate since 1976. Bill Clinton losing Texas in 1992, the first time a Democrat won the White House without the state, officially made this a red state. In 2001 50 Democrats from the Texas legislature fled to neighboring Oklahoma. They did this because Republican legislators tried to—and eventually succeeded at—gerrymandering the state. Gerrymandering was one of the strategies used by Tom DeLay and Karl Rove in their efforts to create a permanent Republican majority throughout the United States. Which is, again, ironic considering how many Texans believe their
state captive nation should secede from the U.S.
Despite these losses, Democrats continued to win at the state level. Then in 1994, Democratic governor Ann Richards lost her reelection bid to George W. Bush and Bush's coattails brought every state office to the Republicans. Then in 2002 Democrats lost the Legislature, officially killing the party. The GOP has held the state ever since and Tom DeLay certainly wouldn't let go of it.
Apart from Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, there is little hope for sanity in Texas. Need more proof? Have at it.
[edit] Police
In Texas, if the police don't like you, especially if your skin is brown rather than white, then they can arrest you for nothing and say it was public intoxication.[4]
[edit] Separation of church and accountability
In 2008 the Texas Supreme Court ruled that a 17-year old girl who was imprisoned and abused while hallucinating could not sue the church over damages done during the exorcism.[5]
[edit] Texan Science
- Texas Board of Education, which has some interesting personalities serving on it:
- Texans for Better Science Education — ironically named creationist group
- Andrew Wakefield — after he got kicked out of England for what may be the most damaging case of medical fraud in the past century, he fled to Texas.
[edit] Goldbuggery
Texas passed a law requiring the state to stockpile gold bars, starting in 2009. After amassing $1 billion in bullion, and losing $350 million due to price fluctuation, Texas passed a 2015 law that requires that the bullion be moved from New York to an undecided and unfunded facility within Texas. Not only will the transportation of the gold cost a substantial amount of money but the guarding and maintenance of the holding facility will be costly. In the meantime the value of gold might still decrease. Texas (fortunately) is the only US state that has its own gold hoard.[6]
[edit] Gun nuttery
""Texas is an outrage when your husband is dead. Texas is an outrage when they pick up his head. Texas is the reason that the President's dead!
|—The Misfits
Texas seems to be the epicenter of gun nuttery. A law was passed to allow open carry of guns virtually everywhere in the state starting on January 1, 2016. An exception was carved out for state hospitals — but not state psychiatric hospitals.[7] A second law will allow open carry of guns at all state colleges as of August 1, 2016; the ban on plug-in air fresheners and waffle makers will remain in effect — because they're dangerous.[8]
[edit] More notable crazies
- Joe Barton
- Ted Cruz (He may be Canadian by birth, but he really went south fast, pun intended. And he's from Alberta, so there's not a lot of difference anyway.)
- Louie Gohmert
- Alex Jones
- Ron Paul
[edit] Irony
Texas seceded from Mexico because the illegal (Anglo) immigrants wanted to keep slaves. Later it seceded from the US because the Texans wanted to keep slaves. Now one of the things Rick Perry claims as grounds for secession is... wait for it... illegal immigration. And of course taxes which are like slavery.

There are two small screws which hold the vibrate motor in place. They may possibly just be loose. At my Apple Store the Genius for free will simply tighten these two screws. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple Store and ask Genius to tighten the vibrate motor screws. If no luck with your Apple Store, the Vibrate Motor is the easiest part in the iPhone to tighten or replace.

Ecademy Boardrooms: Do you benefit from Membership?
I have been a member of the Ecademy boardroom in Farnham since March 2010 and I have been the Chairman of this boardroom for 12 months. I have benefited a great deal from my membership in terms of the priceless business advice I have received and the real friendships I have forged with fellow board members.I can say with hand on heart that my business is now viable and growing due in no small part to the expert guidance I have received during nearly three years of Boardroom membership. Although I employ staff, my business is not large enough to employ other directors with expertise in areas of business which I am not experienced. For example in the fields of finance, book keeping, tax, VAT, HMRC etc.One simple piece of advice which I received from a book-keeper in my boardroom earned me £4,000.00 per year and this is just one example of how I have utilised my membership for profitable business benefit.Have you attended an Ecademy Boardroom? Do you have any questions about boardrooms?I would love to answer your questions if you have any.Check for your nearest Boardroom...Regards - Mick

Brooke Tessmacher ring gear
A photo on Instagram where Brooke Tessmacher shows off the skimpy new wrestling gear that she will be debuting soon.
May 4, 2015
Brooke Tessmacher nude pictures
For those of you that are wondering if those Brooke Tessmacher nude pictures are real, they are. She bared it on in a couple of photo shoots on the beach. This was before she made her professional wrestling debut in WWE. Management were aware of the existence of the pictures, but it was considered a non issue at the time. TNA is also aware of them, and they do not view it as something that will cause a negative reaction towards Brooke.
February 22, 2015
Robbie and Brooke together
Since they picked up some national exposure, thanks to a good run on the Amazing Race, there are talks that TNA could try to capitalize on the reality television show by pairing up Robbie E and Brooke Tessmacher together when Impact Wrestling makes its debut on Destination America. Just about everyone now knows that they are a real life couple, and that could provide a nice spark for their on screen characters. A combined push is a possibility.

The first episode was really good. I'm a big fan of both games and anime, so I've always liked the idea of a VR type game/system where it's like you're there in the game. So when I saw this (or maybe David told me, who knows) it was on my watch list right then.
And with the whole "If you die here you're dead" thing that'd be hard to swallow if you were one of them 10,000 people. If they have healers then I can see them being in very very high demand. And as someone who plays as a healer on MMOs it's not a role I'd want to play on SAO. You messed up, that person died... you killed them. Yea... no pressure...
I'm trying not to get my hopes up, anyone who's seen Guilty Crown knows how that ended. And most of us thought it was going to be one of them great shows. And by the end... yea.
Oh and I loved the OP to SAO. I don't know how many times I've seen it now.
Now here's what I'm wondering... Lapras why are you still replying to the thread? You said "
give it a try when it's over.....or download the OST without watching.
", and that should have been it. You just care about the music, or just want to watch it all at once. All you're doing now is putting down other series. Putting down Index, putting down Steins;Gate, AnoHana and by the sound of it Fate/Zero. And then you go off on the ratings on MAL "Well Steins;Gate is 3rd... these people clearly don't know what the heck they're talking about. lolololololol". Why do you think your opinion on things carry more weight then others? You've pointed out Steins;Gate twice in this thread, my opinion is... it should be higher up the list. You're quick to dismiss the views of others so I'm going to dismiss yours right there with your Steins;Gate views. And on top of that... anyone who gives
this a 10/10
clearly knows what they're talking about when it comes to ratings...
So if you're going to watch Sword Art Online then good, have fun with it. If not then why reply to the thread over and over and bash other series while you're at it? Do you find joy in pissing off other people who like shows such as AnoHana, Index, and Steins;Gate?

Energy Competency Models
What knowledge and skills does an energy worker need?
The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) worked with industry leaders to develop a competency model for the energy industry. The model shows a wide variety of skills and knowledge areas needed in energy. Some are specific to an occupation or one or more parts of the energy industry. Others include more general workplace, academic, and personal effectiveness competencies.
The energy competency model is available in two formats:
- View the graphic format
- Download the text format (132KB, .doc)
A competency model for energy utility technicians was developed by the Center for Energy Workforce Development.

The HTML that appears is

Mivado Group
Agnès was born in 1970 in Bénin and is married to Bonaventure, a chauffeur. The couple have three children, all enrolled in school and living under their roof.
Agnès never attended school. In order to support herself and her family, Agnès sells « Akassa » (a dough made from maize flour). She has been in this business for almost four years, and it allows her, together with her husband, to cover the various expenses of the family.
Agnès buys her supplies in a town in Bénin. This fourth loan will certainly permit Agnès and her group to raise the level of their businesses and grow their clientele and their income.
Additional Information
About AlidéAlidé is a Beninese NGO that works to reduce poverty by offering sustainable access to productive loans like this one in addition to savings, training sessions, and social work to low-income families.
Supporters of this loan should be aware that there is some risk of being repaid late. Because the Beninois Ministry of Finance has imposed restrictions on the amount of money Alidé can send to Kiva, the organization can only send monthly repayments in installments smaller than $13,000. This means that some Kiva lenders may receive their repayments late. However, Alidé remains a healthy institution in good standing with its creditors, and Kiva would like to continue working to support its clients. For more information, please refer to Alidé's partner profile page.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

"HISTORIC GOLD MINING TOWN" Bingara by balhannah
Bingara Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 54 photos
A return visit for us to Bingara, a small town, located in a rather pretty area.
Bingara [1840], is an old gold and diamond-mining town, located in the Gwydir River Valley.
Gold was discovered in the area in 1851, with the prosperous Upper Bingera goldfields (30 km from the town) established the following year. A lot of the early Prospectors were Chinese.
Diamonds were found 11 km west of Bingara in 1873. By the 1890s the field was Australia's largest. The Star of the South (37 000 carats) was found here.
With lots of cypress-covered mountains, it is a popular spot with anglers and fossickers. We saw some nice free camping spots alongside the River.
Gold and sapphires are still found in the local Rivers & Creeks.
Bingara is located on the Fossickers Way [ a tourist drive route] and is 562 km north of Sydney. 'Bingera' became 'Bingara' to avoid postal confusion with Bingera in Queensland.
The district produces fine Wool, Beef Cattle, Pigs, poultry, wheat, sorghum and timber, we passed by most of these on our way here.
The population grew over the years with the finding of Gold & Diamonds, peaking at over 1600 people in 1911, but by the end of the 19th century,
the mines had already begun to close, and the population began to fall.
Bingara holds an Orange Festival each year on the first weekend in August.
2016 ROAD TRIP - Next stop is NARRABRI
- In a nutshell:Nice quiet town in a pretty setting.

Lovely little page about this unknown gold mining town. The Art-Deco buildings look indeed interesting.
The Murals remind me of the ones in a town close by to us - Essex. Nice that they have kept some of the old structures maintained and still looking lovely esp the Hotel with such great detailing.
Something to be said about small towns. They have such charm and they are proud to maintain them. Lovely page!
Another pretty little find with a Welsh connection -River Gwydir>Alan Cunningham>Gwydir Castle, Llanwrst, North Wales.Love the art deco buildings and the Roxy.
Interesting little page. I liked the 'lace work' on the hotel.
Great photo of Bingara Mural.
Love the Art Deco theatre. You certainly find all the interesting places, Dee. Thanks

I watched this last week in the middle of the night, all the lights out and it scared the crap outta me.
No doubt the guys in the attic at the start was a fake but geez that shot of him taken in the dark with the rope around his neck...aagh.
The tablecloth was very suspicious but those photos of the figure at the window of that old place that was later knocked down are bloody good.

The Puzzler on Oct 16 2008, 11:55 AM, said:
I will do more checking on the beginnings of Tyre, thanks for reminding me of that, but as you can see Heracles is not a Greek God but an ancient Egyptian one who is indeed according to them 17,000 years immortal. I have included so much text from Herodotus for you to read since it is all inclusive about Heracles and many people don't know he was an Egyptian God before a Greek one, note also that they didn't know about or have Poseidon as a God, I believe he was Phoenician, father of Sidon.
I find all of Herodotus work absolutely fascinating and never tire of reading it.
I understand now, thanks for clarifying. I thought you were stating that Egyptian culture was over 17,000 years old, but you are referring to Herodotus. The same exaggeration of the passage of time applies - only more so - in this, imo. It was important for Egypt and their prestige that they be seen as predating all other civilisations, so I think a bit of creative license by the teller of this tale to Herodotus is warranted in this instance.
It would not be beyond probability, also, that the one who told Herodotus of Heracles being an ancient Egyptian god was simply enagaging in 'one-upmanship' by co-opting the Greek hero and god and implying the god was already known to them. I can't find any reference to a Heracles in ancient Egyptian mythology, except during and after the Hellenic period. There is an Egyptian god, Heryshaf, who was later identified (loosely) with Heracles, but identifying one cultures' god with a god of another culture happened all the time. it does not mean Heracles was worshipped by the ancient Egyptians.

With winter fast approaching and well over a million people reported homeless in quake-stricken Pakistan, UNHCR and its partners are speeding up the delivery and distribution of hundreds of tonnes of tents, blankets and other relief supplies from around the world.
In all, the NATO-UNHCR airlift, which began on 19 October, will deliver a total of 860 tonnes of supplies from our stockpiles in Iskenderun, Turkey. Separately, by 25 October, UNHCR-chartered aircraft had so far delivered 14 planeloads of supplies to Pakistan from the agency's stocks in Copenhagen, Dubai and Jordan.
On the ground, UNHCR is continuing to distribute aid supplies in the affected areas to help meet some of the massive needs of an estimated 3 million people.
More than 1.5 million people flee their homes in North-West Pakistan.
Fighting between the army and Taliban militants in and around the Swat Valley in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province has displaced more than 1.5 million people since the beginning of May. Some of the displaced are being sheltered in camps set up by the government and supplied by UNHCR. Others - the majority, in fact - are staying in public buildings, such as schools, or with friends and extended family members. Living conditions are harsh. With the onset of summer, rising temperatures are contributing to a range of ailments, especially for villagers from Swat accustomed to a cooler climate. Pakistan's displacement crisis has triggered an outpouring of generosity at home. UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres is urging a "massive" assistance effort from abroad as well.
Pakistani civilians continue to stream out of the region around the Swat Valley to find shelter in Mardana
More than 2 million people, according to local authorities, have been forced from their homes following Pakistani efforts to drive militants out of the region around north-west Pakistan's Swat Valley. Some 200,000 are living in camps set up by the Pakistani government and supplied by UNHCR and other agencies. The remainder are staying in schools or other communal buildings or being hosted by families. The heat is intense, reaching 45 degrees Celsius, and many of the displaced are suffering from heat-related infections and water-borne illnesses, although conditions are improving. UNHCR is providing tents, cooking sets, plastic sheeting and jerry cans, among other aid items. Award-winning photographer Alixandra Fazzina has spent the last two weeks documenting the plight of the internally displaced, from their arrival in safe areas, to the camps, schools and homes in which they now find themselves.

My last post was my list of what we hoped to accomplish before baby #2. Well, Baby #2 (aka Asher) arrived 11.5 weeks ago. Let's just say nothing else happened prior to his arrival or after. Or at least nothing house related. We did manage to have the baby, Kieran became a big brother, and Alok started a job at a new law firm.
The goal for 2015 is to complete several big house projects. They will be posted as they are completed.
For now, Alok is spending his New Years on the hall bath.
Here are the before pics. We will post progress as it comes:
That's all for now!

This is what I came up with after looking at loads of ideas
- 1large firm green mango washed peeled and julienned
- steamed or cooked shrimp (optional)
- 1 carrot peeled and julienned
- 1 small shallot sliced or diced or not you can skip it or use green onion
- 1 teaspoon ginger fresh grated
- 1 sprig of mint chopped
- 1 chili chopped ( or chili flakes to taste, I used shichimi togarashi)
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon palm sugar or brown sugar (you can use more)
- 1 teaspoon chili sauce or chili flakes (optional)
Mix the mango, carrots, shallots, ginger, mint and chili in a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and chili sauce until sugar is dissolved. Pour over the salad and toss with the shrimp or just add them on top.
Garnish with black sesame seeds, (or you could use poppy seeds) and julienned shiso leaves or chili flakes...or really anything you want!!
I hope everyone is coping with the weather that you are having. My niece is in Colorado Springs and she is on the right side of the fires so she won't have to evacuate. But she has a full house of friends that have. My thoughts and prayers go out to the firefighters and families dealing with the horrible fires!

When Does an Incident of Student Academic Misconduct, within a Professional Preparation Program, Pass from "Ignore," to "Reprimand," to "Expel"?
McMasters, Daniel N., Jr., Hearn, Thelma, Georgi, Ryan, Bentley, J. Christopher, van Blerk, Natalie, Crawford, Scott A. G. M., Ervin, Jim, Gean, Amber, JOPERD--The Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance
In any academic setting, ignoring student academic misconduct sends the wrong message to the guilty students and any other student that knows about the misconduct. The reprimand that follows academic misconduct should be based on the severity of the misconduct and the policies and procedures of the university, college, or academic program involved.
Depending on the severity of the misconduct, education programs must decide whether the student in question is ready to be in charge of the education for others. Misconduct that shows a disregard for academic honesty could raise questions about a student's character and professionalism. Having policies written ahead of time to address these types of issues can be invaluable to an academic department.
Students can get into situations where they feel overwhelmed and can subsequently make a bad decision that can be harmful to their future. One bad decision does not always necessitate expulsion from an education program. On the other hand, students that have demonstrated a pattern of disregard for academic honesty should not be teaching in a K-12 educational setting, where they can influence the values of our youths.
Professors must provide the students in their education preparation programs with positive examples. They can do this by holding their future teachers to the same standards (if not higher standards) that they would expect them to hold their students to in their future classrooms.
--Daniel N. McMasters, Jr., associate professor, Martin Methodist College, Pulaski, TN.
Student academic misconduct at any level should be handled in a strict and uniform manner. Obviously, students in grade school and high school are young, inexperienced, and easily persuaded. Academic misconduct at such a young age could be, in part, due to lack of experience and understanding. However, students enrolled in professional preparation programs have absolutely no excuse for any kind of academic misconduct. I feel that all incidents of academic misconduct at this level of education should be taken very seriously and should never be ignored.
The "three strikes and you're out" rule, enforced by many educational institutions, is far too lenient for students in professional preparation programs. If a student is caught participating in any type of academic misconduct (i.e., cheating, plagiarism, using other students' work, etc.), he or she should be reprimanded immediately. The punishment should be up to the professor, whether it is a verbal warning, a zero for the assignment or test, or failure of the course. This incident of academic misconduct should be documented by the professor and put in the student's file. In addition, the student should be notified that any other incident of academic misconduct will result in expulsion from the university. If a second incident of academic misconduct is proven, the student should be expelled from the university. Students at this level of education are not children. They are fully aware of the rules and should be held responsible for their actions. For a student to be involved in more than one incident of academic misconduct is not a coincidence, it is a pattern. This is not the kind of person who should be working in any type of professional setting.
--Thelma Hearn, graduate student, Delta State University, Cleveland, MS.
Student rights and responsibilities begin when they enter an academic program. One of these responsibilities is for students to maintain academic honesty throughout their time at the educational institution. Academic misconduct occurs when a student knowingly chooses to cheat. This action should never be ignored or go unpunished.
If a student is caught violating guidelines for academic honesty, he or she should be given a written reprimand. The student may choose to sign this, admitting guilt, or go before a faculty review board hearing for further evaluation. …

LinkedIn Recommendations–The Latest

As I've noted several times, including recently, I'm a fan of LinkedIn recommendations, both in an active job search and in ongoing career management. They help you leverage your career success based on the value you have contributed throughout your career and beef up the strength of your LinkedIn profile.

That's true whether or not they produce any short-term benefits for you personally. R...

Much has been written about preparing for job interviews. However, one aspect of preparation that I can't emphasize enough, and that hardly ever occurs is… writing out answers to potential interview questions in advance!

You could lay them out on your dining room table, create your pro/con lists, and make the most rational decision of which offer to accept. The reality, in the vast majority of cases, is that an offer comes, and other potential offers ar...

Not Everyone Needs to be an Executive
by Georgia Adamson - Nov, 2013
The employment trend for years has been to encourage (urge?) everyone to go for a college degree focused on a non-trades career. In fact, skilled trades stopped being even considered as a career path by many people, and those individuals who did choose such a goal have often been looked-down-on. However, that view could need to change drastically and sooner than you might think. Should Everyone Target Senior Management?...

I have never pulled an all-nighter. Yes, you read that...

I got mine. Looks fresh with a retro mariners jacket!
February 10, 2012 BY John Kim / 56
Tomorrow marks one of the biggest sneaker release days of the year, with a handful of must-have releases hitting stores and causing indecision in the minds of sneakerheads. One of frontrunners of these releases is the Air Jordan X 'Old Royal', which features a white upper in tumbled and patent leather, an Old Royal blue detailing and Stealth Grey hints on the outsole and lace-straps. Another interesting note about these Air Jordan Retros is that Jordan Brand currently has them listed at $150, a price-point on Retros that we haven't seen in quite some time. You can count on Moe's Sneaker Spot on have these in stock, so be sure to check with them and at other Jordan Brand retailers, or cop a pair now on eBay.

I got mine. Looks fresh with a retro mariners jacket!
i still cant believe these sold out! Everybody think they a sneakerhead after the Concord release! smh these were not worth it.... but hopefully this slims down the line for the cement IV's
these shoe was not even $150 retail like JB said. They were $160.
These Weren't $150 Retail.. They were $160... BS!!!
Isnt there a payday in between these and the Cement IVs??? Shame on you cats who cant afford both.....you shouldnt be spending money on shoes at all if you got it that bad......
already sold out on finishline...hypebeasts are killin everything
Every saying they gone pass on these for the not even leather cement 4s hahaha
Won't be coppin these cuz I don't like em, but da cats that do, do u're thing.
I love the color blue.. and the fact they on a retro jordan is a must but ima pass on these there not historic like the true blues or flints and im gettin my cement 3s next week.
All ya'll that said they would still be on shelves......naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.....things sold out in like 40 minutes online...might still be able to catch em in store.
yeeeeaaaaaahhhhh...I'm gonna wait a week and feel better about spending $160 retail on a retro...and I wasn't too thrilled that after one wear the upper of my Chicago 10s were worse than creased, they were wrinkled smh
would i be better off ordering them online or going to an actual store??
the on foot view honestly makes these look nice in my opinion but it's a no go. I got to cop the white cement 4s next week, I'm a broke ass college student; I have to be choosy.
We get an official release date on the big bangs and if so will they be a quick strike or general release?
Boring shoe.
Will the tags be with them, or do we have to call Nike and wait another month to get em?
Passin on these fa da 4s next week & possibly da foams or da big bangs... too much heat out here
easy pass
wow these actually look much better than i expected
damn i love the 10's.
@RQ_Clothing check it out
TThese have grown on me...might tell the wifey to cop for me for v day. Save my money for the 4s LOL
I really wish the patent leather was not on them... I still might get a pair tho. At least the patent is white and not some bold color distracting the eye on the shoe design.
Gotta catch em all minus the "galaxies"
5 Years Ago These would Have been posted On One Of Those Fake Websites At A Price For $59.99 What a way to continue To Ruin A Classic Sneaker Jordan Brand, But They Gonna Sell Anyway Right? smh
Nah.. too many other releases that are actually worth it
Spoke to a friend on the Jordan Brand design team, although he didn't work on this shoe he told me word around the office is they used the patent leather because in strong daylight it shines to the point where its damn near invisible giving the appearance of one solid upper. Kind of interesting logic I suppose...
damn those are settin fire...to my eyeballs pass
bruh, what I got to do to get these?
That blue really pops in the sunlight
lol don't bet on it homie
It will DEF be worse.
4real... Plenty of Sketchers on sale. Or cop those Shaq retros. Lmfao
And cuz u said dat, u will not gonna b able to get a pair... Karma is a bitch
its cement 4s... its people like u dat make real sneakerheads pissed... cuz u dont even kno wat shoe is droppin. Probably call da concords da white space jams cuz u dont kno shit bout kicks
you'd be better of waiting for the 4s and everything else coming out this year
Bro they been release the date on those all you have to do is go to nikestore* com and go to help and type in release date or go to their twitter and all asg are limited releases.
wanna buy my tags from these and the chicagos for 20 shipped? lol
There's always gonna be some idiot bitching about the stupid tags from now on, huh? THEY'RE TAGS. Do you wear tags on the rest of your clothes everyday? Probably not. You'd look like a moron.
Lol for real y'all. This really does feel like Pokemon for adults now. And I never liked that damn cartoon.
slap your friend for me
I laugh so hard everytime I see this!! Hahahaha
those X's sold out in 30 minutes here.. so yeah you're right
Or he could have accidently typed 3 besides 4. They are right next to eachother if you forgot ppl make typing mistakes
he might actually mean cement 3s. just because the cement 4s are dropping next week as well doesn't mean he can't get a chance to cop a shoe he missed out on a while back. some of ya'll just trying to show off to other people on this forum jumping others for misreading
And it's the same idiot that wants to prove a point would feel the same way anybody would feel he was told that he was going to recieve something with his product and he didn't. Or maybe you're one of those guys who doesn't care what or how they get it. MY bad then.
Word it's one of my favorite comments
I could understand if it were a special tag, like the DMP's or the OG plastic Nike air tag, or even if an alternate set of laces were missing, but I wouldn't lose sleep if the vinyl tags weren't included if I bought them.
