Skip to comments.Reuters' photos : BIN LADEN's dead son ?
Posted on 05/04/2011 1:54:55 PM PDT by drzz
In the photos released by Reuters and taken by the Pakistani security forces, one dead body strongly looks like bin Laden, and appears to be his son, alledgedly killed during the raid.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
Seals do not "F" around.
Photos at:
Link from
Wonder how these got out? Pakies maybe?
According to news media, taken one hour after raid by a Pak
Ooooh, ewwwww!!! I was trying to get onto Reuters
Almost like FR at times, and not my PC with 5 meg.
That goat-faced lunatic is an icon for "The Religion of Peace", as we were instructed to think of it.
The Reuters link is just to the photo, which the content already shows you.
"Looks like theres a hole in his ear to me."
More like hemorrhaging from the ear which often happens with head trauma. In car accidents blood flowing from the ear, eyes, nose or mouth, are clear indicators of serious or fatal head wounds.
Are there any other pics around of those two? If it's definitely identifiable as Osama's son, that would be enough for me.
OK, where are the legions of conspiracy nuts from the last two days? These guys look pretty dead to me.
Guys, this is a very strong assessment. If Khaled was in the house, his father was in it as well.
Obama has just learned that the internet generation is unstoppable. If we want to have the confirmation of OBL's death, we obtain it.
Time to update RK!
The BBC reported yesterday that the second person removed was *alive* and one of Osama's sons. The guy must have had plenty of sons from all those wives.
Wonder if these losers also got a brick on the d!ck burial.
Islam actually defines that as a proper Islamic burial.
I am not kidding.
Well...there is definitely a leak somewhere
Makes sense since it was the middle of the night. Now he's sleeping his eternal rest ... in Hell.
Now THAT'S a lot of blood.
shot thru the heart
and your to blame
you give Binnie
a bad name, bad name
Those guys really bled out. Strange.
That was some surgical shots there. They hit them where it counted.. I really hope they bled to death.
What's with the lime-green water pistol by brother #1's head? Maybe he figured he could hold off the SEALs with it?
Inspiring pictures. Thanks for posting them!
I have no complaints here but, unless the Paks reaaranged the bodies these guys were not killed in a firefight.If true Obama's base may have some difficulty accepting what they'd consider murder. Then I fear Obama and Holder may go after the SEAL assault team.
paki's were sure to get the remains of the chopper we left..bet china is all over it by now.while we try to cut deals to get it back..why not destroy it?
Ok. I see now, we can start to put 1+2 together. WH said they were 'initially' armed. Then they had to change their story. I can see why now.
They did. The tail rotor section is all that is left. Picture 5 at FoxNews is what is left of the main section. Torched but good I'd say.
I was thinking the same thing. It's good to know Bin Laden didn't live the last years of his life much better than a pig.
Reminds me of the 1950s USSR propaganda mags that made Russian factories look like lab clean rooms. If you've been to Russia you know it was all a lie.
Probably a sex toy for the Muslim terrorists.
Bloodstains and bullethole debris notwithstanding, the furnishings looked fairly shabby as well. That cot seemed to have just a piece of foam rubber for a mattress.
The grounds outside looked unkempt as well. What was with that rusted out greenhouse frame?
If there were a lot of kids running around that would explain all the bare dirt patches.
Otherwise, it looked more like a set from "Slumdog Millionaire".
(5/4/2011 - 10 years today!)
Plus the whole place looks as if it was rode hard and put up wet! Guess they didn't spend much time on maintenance!
Plus the whole place looks as if it was rode hard and put up wet! Guess they didn't spend much time on maintenance!
That looks like Mark Ballas on "Dancing With the Stars".
Guess he got eliminated this week.
They all reported the wrong son.."fog of war"...it was actually his son Hamza.
How so?
On Greta tonight...reporter from Pak. said the Seals took one man alive. (Now that's interesting). His 10yr. old daughter and 29 yr. old wife were left ..a total of 12 people were left. This information appears to be coming from the ten year old speaking with the Pak authorities. Which would be questionable of course...but interesting.
I'm so glad you said this cause it sure isn't anything but big....what a dump...and even considering the troops likely caused the disarry of items...the beds mattresses aren't much more than foam...However, some are saying that the reason BL had money sewed into his clothes is giving pause tot the fact that this might have been just another "safe house" and that he was still on the move...traveled light...he might have bought the home 5 yrs ago but that doesn't mean he was there all those years.
BTW heard the Pakistanies also have in custody Ben Ladens private nurse...and she was with them in the house.
his son was not shot.. we slashed his throat..?
Some speculation he made an abrupt entry into the witness protection plan after dropping a dime for the twenty-something million from Uncle Sugar.
So they left the bleeding wife stay there??
I would LOVE to know who is going to collect the $25 MILLION DOLLAR REWARD!! Maybe Obama will write himself the check!!
I'd guess the Seals had to move the bodies into position to verify their identities. I doubt they fell into positions where their faces were easy to see and photograph.
"where are the legions of conspiracy nuts from the last two days?"
The new photos have swamped their photo analysis sections but they'll be back in good time.
why not destroy it?
If you mean, why not destroy it while the operation was going on?... I have read they did try destroying it. may-be they had to get out as soon as possible? and it was over looked.
There are a lot of strange story's' on this operation. Looks as though the American Gov. want release the true story for forty or fifty years from now, if even then? Leaks will be the only way trying to put all of this in perspective?
Thanks for the pic of HELL!
From what I read the tail contacted the security wall when it set down hard. The SEALs destroyed the main section. There are pictures of the charred rubble.
May he rot in hell forever.

I recently got a postcard from their rebate center saying they did not get my UPC code on #059 (which they did, for sure). When I called and questioned them on it, they also said they have not received a rebate request on #057.
When I sent an E-Mail to their customer service center expressing my dissatisfaction, I received a standard reply referring me back to their rebate center and telling me to resubmit.
Unfortunately, I cannot resubmit because I did not keep an extra copy of the UPC code.
I sent the original with #0587 and my copy with #0589.
I wonder how many others were given this same runaround.

There's Still No Way She's as Bad as Miley Cyrus, Y'All
7/3/2014 12:00 PM PDT, by Sarah Taylor
You're probably wondering why Demi Lovato can get away with being crude and "perverted" and full of basically nothing but thoughts of sex while Miley Cyrus just can't, and here's the answer: that's life. Demi is infinitely more likable than Miley, she's a hell of a lot more grounded, and she doesn't stick her ladyparts in your face as if you were just begging for it.
In a recent interview, Demi allegedly admitted to being super sexual, but apparently she's got the couth not to stick it (or her bits) in the faces of all who cross her path:
"I have a really foul mouth. I say anything and everything that's on my mind. I can be really vulgar. My sense of humor is really, really vulgar. It's worse than 10 guys put together in a room. There's a sausage-fest going on in my brain of inappropriate humor!"
It's OK, girl -- as long as you're not sticking the sausage in places where it doesn't belong, or walk around with your tongue lolling out of your salivating mouth like all you can even think about is sausage, you're good. Plus, we really, really like you. You're cute and you get a pass, the end.

Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff also ordered Roy Pearson (pictured), a D.C. adminstrative law judge, to pay the court costs of the Soo and Jin Nam Chung, the owners of Custom Cleaners in Washington.
The case has become a worldwide symbol of litigiousness in American society. (Click here, here, here, here and here for prior Law Blog coverage.)

text: Vocalist Joe Smith and guitarist Nick Goodale have known each other since childhood. The two boys used to occupy their time with a daily round of shooting hoops. Things changed, however, when Goodale's father started to teach him guitar. Rather than lose a basketball buddy, Smith decided to become a singer. He and Goodale also began crafting songs. Over the following months, their musical partnership grew to include drummer Kerry Ryan, bassist Matt Cosby, and rhythm guitarist Jake Roche, in that order. The song "Out of Trust" is a tribute to Charlie Smith, the singer's father, who succumbed to cancer. Bandmembers dedicated their CD to the elder Smith, who, despite firmly believing in a college education, told his son to instead pursue his dream of a career in music. ~ Linda Seida, Rovi

Operation Bullfinch trial Day 23. From the Oxford Mail
CUSTOMERS" would pay up to £600 to have sex with a 12-year-old girl because of her "soft baby skin", the Old Bailey heard this afternoon.
A 19-year-old woman told the court a gang would charge up to £400 for sex or up to £600 if men wanted to tie her up. Known as Girl 4 as she cannot be named, the witness was giving evidence at the trial of nine men accused of running a child sex exploitation gang in Oxford.
She says she was raped and sold for sex by brothers Mohammed and Bassam Karrar between the ages of 11 and 15. She said the pair took her for sex at the Nanford Guest House about 50 times. When the Nanford Guest House in Oxford was voted the worst hotel in England by the users of Tripadvisor it was made to sound comical, like Fawlty Towers made real. There is nothing comical about an establishment that must have known what was happening on this scale.
And she said men liked her because she had "soft baby skin".
The teenager said Mohammed Karrar ordered her to perform a sex act for a man on his birthday. But she bit the man. She said to punish her, Karrar hit her and raped her in front of a window.
The nine defendants deny all 51 counts. The trial continues.
The accused all deny the charges. They are:

The Alliance will focus on providing workers in the telecommunications industry with information, guidance and access to training resources, and sharing best practices and technical knowledge to address ergonomics concerns. Training on ergonomics for the industry will be jointly delivered by OSHA and NTSP at the annual International Telecommunications Safety Conference.
The Alliance calls for cross-training OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals in NTSP ergonomic best practices or effective approaches, and encourages liaison with other Alliance participants who are currently addressing the topic.
OSHA and NTSP will develop and share ergonomics information through both print and electronic media and from the organizations' respective websites, and will also participate in forums and stakeholder meetings on ergonomic issues in order to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace.
NTSP and OSHA will share information on ergonomic case studies performed within the telecommunications industry and then publicize those results. Finally, OSHA will encourage State Plan States' and OSHA Consultation Projects' participation on the Alliance implementation team, while NTSP will encourage its membership companies to provide input and feedback on workplace safety and health success stories.

By Capt. Rebecca Murga (USARC)May 18, 2010
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona -- It was around January of 2008, about halfway through my deployment, when my chaplain (a great guy who was known for occasionally smoking a pipe and 'accidently' cursing when he played sports), came up to me and asked that quintessential "chaplain question" that they always seem to ask at just the right time:
" Are you ok'"
The crazy thing was, I wasn't ok... and he knew it.
That's the funny thing about chaplains. They always seem to know when to ask just the right question.
I have had the opportunity to work with two really great Army chaplains in my short time in the military. One helped me through my deployment and the other helped me when I returned. And selfishly (shame on me), I never really thought about what THEY went through when they deployed. And looking back on it now, I realize I could not have gotten through my deployment without them.
So when the 63rd Regional Support Command invited me to cover the Chaplaincy Annual Sustainment Training, or CAST, I thought it would be an important event to cover. Not because it would be particularly earth-shattering, but because I felt it was important for people to understand the importance of the Chaplain Corps.
Held in Scottsdale, Ariz., over 280 chaplains throughout the 7-state southwest region of the United States gathered together for a week in May to engage in dialogue and discuss issues such as Comprehensive Soldier Fitness, spiritual resiliency, reintegration relationships and pastoral care counseling.
In a time of high operational tempo and persistent conflict, the CAST theme this year was: "Spiritual Leadership, Keeping the Army Community Strong." The theme supports the Army's vision of balanced, healthy, self-confident Soldiers, families and Army civilians.
Maj. Gen. Hugo E. Salazar, The Adjutant General and Commanding General of the Arizona National Guard was in attendance alongside Maj. Gen. Douglas Carver, Chief of Chaplains, who both spoke to the importance of the chaplaincy and the issues that face them on a daily bases.
"Thank you all for your service to this country... choosing to put on the uniform in this day and time is not an easy thing to do. These are days of great challenges. As we have soldiers with boots on the ground, fighting a war on multiple fronts... It is time to stand tall. It is time to be courageous," said Carver.
According to Reuters Health, taken from the Archives of Internal Medicine, they estimate that out of 103,788 returning veterans, 25 percent had a mental health diagnosis, and more than half of these patients had two or more distinct conditions. Taken with the Army suicide statistics release this April, chaplains are critical to the heavy psychological toll taken on U.S. soldiers.
Carver stresses the importance of courageous leaders in these "challenging times."
"We are going to reflect on what it takes to keep our army community strong. We are an Army that is stretched and stressed with over 160 suicides last year within our ranks. The war is taking its toll, and in these challenging times we need courageous leaders," said Carver.
With over 700 chaplains and chaplain assistants mobilized or deployed in support of contingency operations throughout the world, Army Chaplains have an enormous responsibility. They are expected to observe the distinctive doctrines of their personnel faith while also honoring the right of others to observe their own faith.
And when you think about the diversity of the Army, that becomes a somewhat daunting task. But every day, rabbis, ministers, imams and priests, serve Soldiers with conviction and commitment right alongside them. Chaplains are spiritual leaders, confidants, and comfort in difficult times.
Chaplain (Col.) Bonnie Koppell, command chaplain for the 63rd Regional Support Command, explained how important this annual training was for the chaplains in attendance.
"This is the one time of the year that we have the opportunity to get together with our colleagues in active Army, Army Reserve, and National Guard and build those relationships that will be the foundation for accomplishing whatever missions may arise throughout the 63rd RSC footprint. This is an opportunity to train together with regard to issues of spiritual fitness," said Koppell.
Chaplains are not only responsible for the Soldiers in their care, but are also responsible for caring for the Soldiers' families and may often find themselves serving the spiritual needs of Sailors, Marines, or Airmen.
Whether they are leading worship and prayer; administrating the sacraments; counseling young couples; or deploying to a combat zone; chaplains serve alongside Soldiers, training side-by-side with them and are critically important to the spiritual and mental fitness of Soldiers.
Since 1775, some 400 Army chaplains have laid down their lives in battle and six have been awarded the Medal of Honor.
They never complain, or ask for thanks, or expect any awards.
They are probably the only group of people I know who come to work every day, do their jobs and never expect a thing.
So to all of the Chaplains I met this week at CAST, and to those chaplains who helped me through my deployment, I say "thank you."
"Thank you," from every deployed Soldier and every family member back at home who needed someone around to talk to during those difficult times; even if we didn't realize it at the time.

Strategies to use against a counter puncher
How do you deal with guys who just wait for you to come into range then counter with a quick 1-2?
If I'm being defensive too it just ends up being a stalemate. I'm usually taller than others in my weight class so I have the reach advantage should I just come behind the jab and land combos or focus more on head movement before throwing anything?

Counter the counter puncher for example, throw the 1-2 which he'll probably look to counter with say a 1-2-3 (jab, straight, left hook), counter his attack.
Use feints with your head & hands. You're essentially tricking them into thinking you're throwing which they'll open themselves up, providing openings.
Don't be predictable or static, pivot off.
Too many are static, upright. This is a bad strategy against a counterpuncher who will know exactly where your head is going to be.

To me... you set traps on him.... If you know he wants to counterpunch, then give him something to counter, whilst knowing you are going to counter him right after. Anticipate him countering you, and give him an answer.

Fients, head movement... Also if the guy is using rangy counters, or waiting for you to walk into his 1,2. Get inside and make the fight rough.

keep them guessing dont be predictable and make sure you are bringing your hands back to the proper position so you are protected. a lot of head movement and lateral movement. Im a shorter fighter and i found that getting inside even on guys that arent much taller than me and just kinda smothering them with a lot of punches and being more physical works. and just be able to keep working so you can wear them down but not get worn down yourself

Sergio Martinez somehow fight after fight gets guys to come to him and counter the crap out of them. Man the center of the ring but remember it's a training/conditioning (mind & body) process. Drills>Sparring>Fight no shortcuts
If you or your trainer needs some drills you can do to work on these things. Contact me through my website.

As a shorter boxer I know there are few tougher obstacles in the ring than to overcome a reach advantage against a guy who knows how to use it. Put the work in to learn how to fight tall and you'll be a boring yet nearly unbeatable fighter like most tall guys who actually fight their size

@Barry thanks dude, maintaining that type of output requires some good conditioning. I always worry about tiring in sparring but at the end I realize I'm not even that fatigued.

Barry gave good advice.
If you're worried about being boring than don't box. If you have to be boring to win, then be boring.

I have a wordpress site that I'm not sure if I want to change or not. I would like to test the site out with a new theme but don't want to delete the original until I know I like everything. What's the best way to go about this?
Also, would it be ok to just copy and save everything in my original site folder as a way to back up the site. Then I could just try out my new themes in the empty folder? If so, can I simply copy and paste all my original site files, store them in a folder on my hard drive and if I want the site back up at a future date, can I just paste the files back in?
Just confused. Thanks to anyone who can shed some light.
p.s. I know I can just add a new theme to my current site and switch between it and the new but this method doesn't work because I've had too many modifications to my site.

|Response of a mixed Philippine seagrass meadow to experimental burial
|Duarte, Carlos M. ; Terrados, Jorge ; Agawin, Nona S. R. ; Fortes, Miguel D.; Bach, Steffen; Kenworthy, W. Judson
SE Asia
Sediment burial
|Issue Date:
|Inter Research
|Marine Ecology Progress Series (MEPS) 147: 285-294 (1997)
|The effect of burial due to sudden sediment loading was examined in a mixed Philippine seagrass meadow through the experimental deployment of sediment (0, 2, 4, 8, and 16 cm deposited over the experimental plots). The responses in shoot density, vertical growth, and branching of the species present were assessed 2, 4, and 10 mo following disturbance. Shoot density responses were strongly species-specific. The large Enhalus acoroides maintained shoot density at all burial treatments, and only showed evidence of decline by the end of the experiment. Thalassia hemprichii and, to a lesser extent, Cymodocea rotundata showed a sharp decline in shoot density even at moderate burial treatments, from which they failed to recover. The accompanying species (Halodule uninervis, Syringodium isoetifolium, and Cymodocea serrulata) showed an initial decline in shoot density followed by recovery. The small Halophila ovalis showed an opportunistic growth in plots receiving intermediate (buried by 4 and 8 cm sediment) disturbance, reaching shoot densities well in excess of those on control plots. The results suggest a pattern of species loss following disturbance by sediment burial corresponding to the sequence, T. hemprichii -> (C. rotundata, S. isoetifolium, H. uninervis) -> C. serrulata -> E. acoroides. Vertical growth increased significantly for all species with differentiated vertical shoots, except C. serrulata. The examination of the time course of vertical growth imprinted on the shoots of the dominant species, T. hemprichii, revealed a rapid response to burial through increased internodal length, which was maintained over 8 mo following the disturbance. The resulting cumulative vertical growth along the experiment was linearly correlated with the degree of burial imposed on the plants. Branching of vertical shoots also increased significantly (73 to 96%, depending on the species) with burial. Experimental burial induced changes in shoot age distribution of some of the species, involving rearrangements, through selective mortality or recruitment, of the contribution of young shoots to the populations. The results obtained show major differences in species response to small-scale disturbance, closely linked to predictions derived from consideration of species growth rate and size, and provide evidence of the importance of small-scale disturbance in the maintenance of multispecific seagrass meadows.

I'm a SAHM to a 3 year old girl and a 19 month old boy. DH works full time, but has Type 1 Diabetes and has been in and out of the hospital, causing him to miss work. A friend of mine is in a difficult situation. She is a single mother of a 2 year old boy and a 9 month old boy and is working a minimum wage job doing all she can to try to support them. Her sister was babysitting her kids, but now her sister is pregnant and won't do it anymore. She asked me if I would baby sit her boys. I said yes, because I figured it could helps us both out...she needs a sitter, and I could use the money with DH missing so much work lately.
I've only been watching them twice a week, ranging from 18-20 hours each week. She only pays me $50.00 per week. That's less than $3.00 per hour to baby sit 2 kids that are in diapers! The agreement was that she would also provide food/snacks. Well, I've been watching them for about 3-4 months now, and she's only bought food twice. Half the time she forgets to bring wet wipes and I have to use mine. I'm starting to figure out that it's a lot of work, almost too much for me to handle, and certainly not really worth $50.00 per week.
Another thing that bothers me, is with my husband's Diabetes, he can't be around sick people. He recently caught the flu and it turned into pneumonia and he had to be hospitalized. I asked my friend to keep her kids at home if they are sick. She lies to me, tells me that they are just "teething" and then drops them off with medications. They will be coughing up a storm, pouring snot from their noses, and having diahrea, but she will not admit that they are sick, because she can't afford to miss work.
Now my cousin just had a newborn baby. She has asked me if I would consider being his baby sitter. She would pay me triple of what my friend is paying me. Personally, I would much rather watch one baby for more money than continue watching 2 babies for less. There's no way I could handle watching them all, because then I would have 5 babies under the age of 3 all by myself. I'm not super woman! The issue is, I care about my friend, and even though she takes advantage of me, not even paying me half the time and not bringing food or even wet wipes, and bringing her kids over sick when I beg her not to...she's still my friend and I'm all she has right now. I don't know how to approach her or even what to say. I just know the stress is effecting both me and my DH. I want to make the choice that I know is best for my family, but I don't want to leave my friend without or damage our friendship. WWYD?

Maple and Balsamic Glaze Les Fougeres
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 10 mins
Oh so good. It works with any meat, from game to chicken and also as a base for a vinaigrette. I love it with steak, i just heat it with the pan juices and then drizzle it over and make sure there is enough on the side. Baste chicken with it, or simply glaze it after cooking. The vinaigrette base is terrific. I badgered this out of Charlie, the wonderful co owner with his gorgeous wife Jennifer of Les Fougeres. One of the recipe's missing from their award winning cookbook "a year at les fougeres". I wanted the proportions since sometimes you just want 2 tbs quickly. Also for those who cannot get to Quebec easily. Equal amounts of each and the adjust to your personal taste.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1⁄4 cup balsamic vinegar (high quality)
- Put both the maple syrup and balsamic in a saucepan.
- On medium low heat reduce it until thick and syrupy.
- Taste for proportions as every ones is different.

made for ZWT4 2008
This worked like a charm and filled the house with its aroma. That was the best part! We didn't know exactly what to do with the glaze once it was ready, so we brushed it on some chicken fillets and broiled them, brushing more on as it cooked. End result was delicious and attractive, but we'd like to see more suggestions about how to use this resource. Photo Tag 2007.

With this issue of POLICE Magazine, we are inaugurating a new concept for reviews of law enforcement products. In the past, our product reviews have focused on one item per review. The problem with this approach is that so much stuff is being released now for the police market that we are barely scratching the surface.
It's said that necessity is the mother of invention, and that's clearly true for cops. Sent out on the streets with often outdated or unproven equipment, cops, like soldiers, have been forced to improvise, tweak, jury-rig, or just plain create what they need.

Make larger batches of tea for Kombucha. Also useful for herbs and spices!
Love these tea balls. I wish y'all did have one to make kombacha as metal is not good to use when making tea for kombacha, right??
Response from CFH: Preparing the tea with stainless steel is acceptable. It is the SCOBY itself that cannot be in contact with metal.
I'm pleased with this product.
I was surprised that the mesh was not just a bit finer as the holes still allow a fair amount of tea leaves to sift through. This means you still need a strainer with finer holes if you don't want tea particles left after brewing. (So glad I also ordered the plastic mesh strainer which works great for this!)

I recently deleted a page that had the Permalink of "Live". I also permanently deleted it from the trash bin.
I wanted to make a new page with the same permalink, so I created a new "Live" page.
However, the OLD page still appears when I go to the URL, totally ignoring anything I type in the new "Live" page. Also note that the permalink did not default to Live-2, so it is not like it's sitting around somewhere.
I went into the database and found no trace of it. I ran WP-Optimize, and there is no change. I cleared my browser's cache, I pressed ctrl-F5... no matter what I do, the OLD deleted page still shows up! Why?
I am completely baffled. I should be able to reuse this URL, but it's not letting me. Is it hanging out somewhere that I haven't checked?

I've been using this plugin for few years and it never fails.
I am using WP 3.6. I am glad that I found this plugin and that it worked immediately. No doubt, excerpts look much better now. As I have read, the plugin was last updated a few years ago. Great performance !
Hello, I'm using an Artisteer theme in 3.5.1.
I also have KK Star ratings enabled at the top of all posts.
I'm using "Auto Excerpt everywhere" plugin, which is supposed to summarize the text AND auto-add a thumbnail. It summarized the text very nicely, but it is not adding thumbs!
So, I installed "Thumbnail For Excerpts" - but still, no thumbs showing in excerpts!
Any advice will be appreciated, I really want those thumbs, and I want them 200x150, proportionate to the screenshot, not square.
By design, ALL my posts begin with a 300x225 screenshot.
But KK Star ratings is set for the top of all posts, so stars would be auto-inserted right before the screenshot. I wonder if the star ratings plugin is blocking a thumb appearing in excepts? I do not want to move or remove my star ratings.
Or maybe it's another issue?
Thanks if you can help.
Compatible up to 3.5.1

Project Introduction 2015
The first project meeting will take place 2015-09-01 at 10.15 in C1, house C. At this first meeting you will get information about what company you belong to (by lottery) and more detailed information about what the project is all about. The customer and supervisors will present themselves and there will be time for questions. This is the official start of the project and from this moment it is your task to deliver the right product, with the good quality, within budget at the right time!
Note that this meeting is compulsory. If you do not attend or do not send an email before the meeting explaining why you cannot attend, we cannot guarantee that you can be part of the project part of the course.
Company MeetingsAt the company meetings all employees in the company meets. The meetings take approximately one hour and the agenda is defined by the department managers. Depending on where in the project we are, different issues will be discussed. Typically plans for iterations, review of iteration (status of what has been produced in the iteration) and reflection (what went well/what went bad) is discussed. Note that these meetings are compulsory.
Status ReportsThe day before a meeting, short status reports should be sent via email to the CEO, the consulting supervisors, the examiner, and to the employees of the company. One report should be sent in from each company. These reports should be fairly short and contain:
- What has been done since the last meeting?
- What is planned to be done to the next meeting?
- Which problems exist? Which risks exist for future problems?
- Time report - time spent in the project for each employee.
Tollgate Meeting
The contract that was signed between the Customer and our company consisted of two parts. The Customer initially pays for a pre-study, where the project teams should collect requirements, create a realistic time schedule, build necessary prototypes and form an initial design of the product. This year you shall deliver 2-3 mock-up apps for the customer to evaluate. Material for these mock-ups shall be sent to the customer no later than 2015-09-18 at 12:00. This pre-study period ends with a tollgate meeting, where the project teams shall present in a convincing way what the product will look like and that they will be able to develop it in time. After this meeting, the Customer will decide which app he wants to order. Hence, this meeting is very critical for the whole project to be successful! The meetings are held 2015-09-24, 13-17 (Check the schedule for your group). Note that this meeting is compulsory.
The CEO has not specified that one specific software process should be followed. Instead, it is the tasks for the employees in the departments to self organize and discuss how they want to work, e.g. if they want to follow a specific process or not. However, one requirement is that the work shall be iterative, i.e., a working system should be released and tested at specific milestones, so that the reference customer can test the system and give feedback.
Release of version 1.0
In December, the reference customer will decide which system they will buy. At the VSSE'15 - Valla Software and System Expo, which takes place in December, all companies will present their product. Preliminary date 2015-12-10 at 13.15-17.

How a Pathologically Blunt Producer Makes It in Suck-Up City
By Jesse Katz
Published: February 9, 2003
The surest way for a producer to pitch a TV show in Hollywood is to submit to mimicry, touting his idea as the next ''Frasier'' or ''Friends.'' The Gavin Polone way is to traffic in heresy. ''Shows like 'Friends' and 'Frasier,' which are aiming to be real yet are completely surreal, that's the kind of stuff I have a problem with,'' he says. ''I mean, you're 39 years old, and you're still living with your friends? It's pathetic!''
During the final days of the TV development season, Polone is committing this sacrilege before a roomful of executives on the fourth floor of the Fox Broadcasting Company. He has come to shop a couple of pilots, including one called ''Kommissar Rex,'' a German police drama that features the exploits of a crime-fighting dog. The idea is to dub the show in English, giving Rex his own voice -- less ''Frasier'' or ''Friends'' than ''What's Up, Tiger Lily?'' meets ''Mr. Ed.'' Polone can afford to be contrarian; it is, indeed, his selling point. By telling TV executives what they do not want to hear, he began this year with 33 shows in development -- at all six networks, plus cable -- a pace unrivaled by any other independent production company, by even some of the major studios.
The pitch, nonetheless, is not without its challenges. The biggest one facing Polone at this particular moment happens to be the spoof's creator, Ahmet Zappa, son of the late guitar pioneer Frank (and the brother of Moon Unit, Dweezil and Diva), who is expected here at the meeting but, after a night of excess, seems to be missing in action. Of all the things Polone does not suffer easily, flakiness is high on the list. ''This will be reflected in your bonus,'' he growls to one of his assistants, after half a dozen anxious calls to Zappa's cellphone fail to dredge him up. Although Zappa eventually stumbles in, eyes hidden behind biker shades, Polone is already working the room. He cues the ''Kommissar Rex'' tape, five minutes of doggy humor that falls somewhere between clever and unabashedly juvenile. Then, adopting his best professorial voice, he launches into a riff on 18th-century metaphysics. ''You guys are familiar with Immanuel Kant?'' Polone asks. ''That's sort of the underpinnings of where this show comes from: his perspective on how your own psychological schematic influences your interpretation of information. People in Germany see this show and think, That's a really good procedural crime drama. We see this show as a half-hour comedy. See how it gets into the whole Kantian point of view?''
''We hear that at every pitch,'' a Fox executive says, already laughing.
First as the enfant terrible of talent agents, then as a manager and now as an Emmy-nominated producer, Polone has spent the better part of two decades playing the outsider -- inside Hollywood. His name may not register anywhere else, but within L.A.'s insular film and TV communities it is synonymous with pitiless brinkmanship and pathological honesty. He has produced four movies in the last four years, from the sordid, porn-themed thriller ''8mm'' to the stylish and hugely profitable ''Panic Room.'' He has also produced four TV series in that time, including HBO's acclaimed farce ''Curb Your Enthusiasm'' and the WB's long shot of a hit, ''Gilmore Girls.'' Last summer, he was rewarded with a three-year, multimillion-dollar development deal from NBC, a pact that gives the network first crack at any Polone-backed script but still grants him the autonomy to shop his projects elsewhere. His office is located in the Wilshire Beverly Center, the most coveted address in the city's most status-obsessed industry. But to watch Polone at work is to grasp the degree to which he wears his impiety as a badge. His production company is called Pariah. His e-mail: AlphaGav. ''Look, we're all [expletives], all of us who are making all this kind of money to do this silly thing,'' Polone, 38, says. ''I just think there's a difference between a person who's an [expletive] and says, 'Hey, I'm an [expletive],' and a person who's an [expletive] and says, 'I'm not an [expletive], what are you talking about?'''
In a world of air kisses, Polone dismisses greetings and civilities, even the most benign of handshakes, as rituals of weakness. In an industry run largely over meals, he subsists on an 1,800-calorie-a-day diet of green tea, protein powder and egg whites. In a town that tends to be smugly Democratic, he is a registered Republican, his politics not so much conservative as, in the words of one screenwriter, ''libertarian heading toward anarchist.'' He works six-day weeks, 18-hour days, rejecting marriage and children as antiquated nuisances. He once spent nearly a year in the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, not to luxuriate but to strip his life of possessions and waste. He does not give gifts or celebrate holidays or wear jewelry or listen to music or, with rare exceptions, even watch his own shows. He has been called a freak, a misanthrope, ''the quintessence of evil'' -- and that by people who like him. ''There's a lot of freedom that comes when you abandon the need to be loved,'' says a friend, the director Jon Turteltaub. ''Sometimes, the word for that is 'sociopath.' On the other hand, the word is sometimes artist. I don't think Gavin likes people disliking him, but he also doesn't wake up every morning trying to recreate himself in the image of what he thinks people want.''

After numerous phone calls and bogus responses we finally found out in Feb. 2006 that this company is out of business.
It is my understanding that many senior citizens have lost substantial amounts of money and that Michael Burke, the president of the company, is no where to be found. The division of Consumer Affairs in Florida has notified us that they are unable to recover any funds since the company did not have to post any financial security.
To us this appears to be a major fraud where innocent people have lost their hard earned money and the owner walks away with no recourse. Welcome to another act of Corporate Greed.

There are loads of fantastic games across the armor games site!
And I was wondering does anyone know any websites for creating games so I can submit my game.
I know one website,try with Sploder.You can choose a template.For example:
-Platformer Creator;
-Physics Puzzle Creator;
-Classic Shooter;
-The Algorhythm Crew.
Can you make a game with a program in your computer?My computer is slow,but just asking.
Sploder doesn't make games in the regular sense. Instead, it makes games like how you can make levels in Crush the Castle. You aren't making a game, just a custom level, basically.
sploder isn't to good I was hoping to make like a quiz game and I tried sploder but that didn't help
You can't make a quiz game on Sploder!
Platformer Creator;
-Physics Puzzle Creator;
-Classic Shooter;
-The Algorhythm Crew.
anyone else know any sites
